Unbreakable;; Raphael's Plot

[Raphael Kim Ji Hyun]

Introducing Raphael Kim, 23 years old (as of now), an american-korean residing in New York City. He still in school, major in music and dancing at Julliard, a dream school every talented musicians would like to be in. He dedicates his life to music, enjoy the feelings of being on stage and under the spotlights, there's no other place he feels more like home. Hip-hop is his latest passion, and he is also a part-time backup dancer. Sounds like busy? Well, let's say Raphael is someone who enjoys a busy life, rather not have a minute wasted. He also helps out at the local community center, taking care of the olds and the disables whenever he has time. This is who he was taught to be, a kind someone responsible and always offering a helping hand to those around him.

Raphael is friendly, truthful, mostly he's just a normal, crazy young man who enjoy a fun time wherever he goes.

FRIENDS should be easy for Raphael. He is friendly, a bit wacky, good with jokes, often ready to help... well, most who met him might actually like him unless that person has a natural grudge towards friendly peoples. It seems like he is all over the place (in New York), so bumping into him is easy too.

Everyone would have a few ENEMIES in their lives, and that includes Raphael. It could be a good friend fell out, people who hurt him badly before, people who determined to dislike him from the start... this section is filled with possibilities.

As for LOVER, well, he is single right now, it doesn't mean he's lack of flirting partners, he doesn't actually sleep around but there's no telling if he will make mistakes after getting drunk. Love interest, flirts and flings are possible, and even final, but that depends on the plot offered.

And if you have any OTHER ideas over here, please feel free to suggest.

Hi Paige! Rayne here.

I have a bunch of characters. Hopefully you'll get to meet them all over time. To start, though, I figured I'd give a list of some of the ones that might fit well with Raphael. I like to throw characters at each other and see whether they become friends or enemies, and let things go from there. ^.^

(Some of this is cut-and-pasted from another thread because it's late and I'm lazy.)

(Also, you might be interested in putting Raphael in one of the threads for the Halloween subplot. The sign-up thread is here!)

Sparrow Akiyama

Sparrow is a civilian agent with the Company, which is now dedicated to protecting the population and helping anyone in need. She is also a stuntwoman and actress - her father is a well-known movie director, and she has starred in a few successful movies, and has been the live-action model for characters in many hit video games. She loves helping others, and spends her precious free time doing extreme sports for fun. Her stepsister went missing recently, however, which has put a damper on Sparrow's usually upbeat spirit.

Fallon Daugherty

The spoiled brat that is Fallon Daugherty saw her world change entirely when both of her parents came out as Specials. Now, as she also returns to work - as the chief of public relations for Ark Industries - she has her parents' separation to deal with, as well as her housemate Hatire and his antics, and now with promoting Ark's perfectly sardonic new CEO. It's little wonder, then, that she can be a sweetheart at times, a smartass at others, and a complete pain to deal with at times too.

Reggie Sawyer

After having been missing for over a year, Reggie has finally resurfaced, seemingly no worse for wear, aside from being completely unable to remember anything from that year she was gone... and a tendency to act irrationally and erratically every now and then. That might be expected of any twenty-year-old, perhaps, but Reggie's father happens to be the President of the United States. Yet there is definitely something different about her, with tendencies she never had before and memories of things she doesn't remember having happened at all.

Jordan Mercer

The formerly arrogant and overambitious Jordan Mercer saw his whole perspective of the world taken down a few notches, first by the admonishments of his acquaintance and peer, Felicia, and then by the death of his girlfriend, Evelyn. He now travels between New York and Las Vegas to focus on his work, and to try to get away (in vain) from his several-times-over-great-aunt, Lilka, a shapeshifter who has decided to move in with him. He has no idea what to do from here, other than to pick up the pieces of his life and do his best to move on.

[Adrian Kilvayne]

I have four characters in particular who need threads.

-Ronan MacGuinness- Restauranteur, vigilante and detective in the Watchers. P.I. faction. Lives in NYC.

-Trevor Taylor- Historian, teacher, badass in general. Lives in NYC.

-Brogan Kilvayne- 4000 year old warrior. Invented badassery lol. Visits NYC all the damn time lol.

-- Archie Cane- Particle physicist, gamer, socially awkward. Works for Ark, related to Kilvaynes who are based in NYC.

plus a bajillion NPC's that can do whatever I need them for.

[Raphael Kim Ji Hyun]

Thank you both for plotting *offers cookies, double chocolate too* XD
Right, eventually one or a few of them might discover/ accidentally shown Raphael that superhero powers exist, meanwhile he is being ignorant, and happily so too. We sure need to play things IC and see how it goes.

RAYNE

Sparrow
&&
Raphael

Well, I kind of spotted a music lover who has a passion for dances? Raphael would be glad to know her, perhaps they've seen each other from several occasions, but never a chance to say hi until now (if you want to play the first meeting idea). The thing is, with her being model for characters in hit video games, Raphael might actually recognize her from there, or caught certain angle of her and start thinking that she looks like who and who from which video game, he might even point it out. Right nerd alert, probably not the best way to know a girl, but that's just him.

They could've bump into one another in a club or if she walks into some place to eat, chance meeting. Erm... Add/ subtract?

Fallon
&&
Raphael

Fallon and Raph... are going to be interesting in the way that Raphael might love her and hate her at the same time, and she also (quite inconveniently) reminding him of his sister, only she's like, not his real younger sister. I can actually see them banter, if him being sarcastic right back at Fallon doesn't send her stumping away in her high heels, these two would play out an entertaining thread.

Reggie
&&
Raphael

There are a few possibilities for these two to meet, rock concert being one, he might attend too, because he does enjoy most form of music. Or if there's a situation they actually been playing MMOs with one another (hmm, L4D 2 anyone?) in the same cafe, and found out about one another there? Right, that would be a real big coincident. Of course, he will offer to buy a drink, sit down and ask for another round of zombie shooting. They would be good friends at the very least.

Jordan
&&
Raphael

Let's see... I really am not sure how Raphael would react to him, he thinks Jordan has a cool demeanor about him, which isn't quite an encouragement for him to speak up or be himself. Supposed if... Hmm, does Jordan (or Lilka) ever call for delivery? Well, Raphael can be the delivery boy I supposed, and know a little/ much about this man mostly by observing, maybe even exchange a joke or two. I am not sure... And it might be interesting if they met down somewhere else, any favorite hangouts Jordan has? One probably find Raphael in places like bars/ clubs at night sometimes, then school, community center, erm and as of recently, the hospital? They can bump into each other and we can see how it goes from there.

LAZ

Ronan
&&
Raphael

What I can see between these two guys would be them drinking, and exchanged a few words. Raphael probably thinks Ronan as a fathery figure and respect him for that, maybe even find him as someone he tell things to (not entirely confession, unless Raph is really drunk it is not going to happen). Hmm... what more? Erm.. unless Ronan needs someone to babysit his kids please no, he will make a mess at his home~ D:

Trevor
&&
Raphael

Erm... I did mentioned Raphael has a tendency to prejudge people by appearance right? Right, the first sight of Trevor Raphael actually thinks he is badass and someone he needed to avoid, which is somewhat entertaining to watch because usually Raphael doesn't afraid of anything (OK, you can try bugs and sharks). That being said, no Raphael won't actually run away, he will fake calm and stay put, just what he knows how to do, and try not to say or do something that will piss the bad guy off, over time he might probably comes to terms that he isn't as scary as he appears to be, and might even spare a joke or two to him. Tell me, this is just instinctive - and Raph wants to know too - does he ride badass motorbikes? Raphael, like many guys do, has an obsession on automobile, it is just not as strong as his obsession for music, comics, aliens and video games.

*nods* and if later on, Trevor want to launch into a series of historical tales, you have a listening ears *points Raph* he find history interesting, yet he doesn't know enough of it for an intellectual debate, so listener he will be.

Add/ subtracts?

Brogan
&&
Raphael

Bogan should walks into Raphael's parents' restaurant, Korean are good with their BBQ, raw beef is the best, and then pork, and they serves alcohol, rice wine or soju, two types of alcohol they sell there really. It depends on how Brogan acts there actually but my happy-go-lucky boy here probably will shrug if he was challenged to a drinking contest and go for it anyway. He can drink pretty well. Other than that... hmm... we shall see how things play out there, cause I have not an idea.

Archie
&&
Raphael

I think these two could bond through comics, or some science/ sci-fi related talk. Raphael doesn't care of a person is shy, he is friendly himself, talks when ideas strikes and he really feel more comfortable at the presence of a shy company

That being said, a chance meeting in a comic/ bookstore? Or perhaps they've seen each other there choosing books a few times, exchanged a word or two even.

[Christian Moynahan]

Double chocolate cookies!!

Lemme see lemme see lemme see.

Sparrow and Raphael is my favorite, really. I like the idea of them having crossed paths before and him recognizing her from video games. The club idea would be a good one, since she does like to go out and dance. I suspect they would be really good friends, but it'll be interesting to see how that grows!

It would be interesting to play out Fallon and Raphael too, with the whole sister angle. Fallon is stubborn, though, so I don't know if their mutual sarcasm would be funny or make them be at each others' throats all the time. xD

I like the ideas for Reggie and Raphael too. (I like all the ideas. lol) That's definitely something I'd like to see happen, even if it's later on down the road.

Jordan and Raphael - this one I like because it would be the most challenging. Raphael would probably be aware that people with abilities exist because of an event that forced Specials to come out (more on that later), but if you wanted someone to help Raphael realize he's a Special, Jordan could be that person. (Ge wouldn't necessarily help Raphael learn to use his ability, though, but I have other characters who could.) I like the delivery and then meeting at somewhere else - maybe the community center - the most.

So for now, my favorites are Sparrow and Raphael and Jordan and Raphael. What do you think? ^.^

[Adrian Kilvayne]

I like all of those ideas, but I was going to mention two important details...

1- Ronan doesn't drink alcohol, being a recovering alcoholic.

2- Brogan would have a seriously unfair advantage in a drinking contest, as he cannot get drunk thanks to his accelerated metabolism. But he does like to eat, and drink copious amounts of alcohol so the restaurant idea holds up.

[Raphael Kim Ji Hyun]

We can do Sparrow/ Raphael & Jordan/ Raphael first (is trying to take things a bit slow I might/might not runs off doing NaNoWriMo next month D: No worries though, my muse has always craving for this and that together, I would be able to push out a few posts.)

Hmm... blame that on human nature, Raphael might have heard of people with special abilities but he will write it off as they are special people, born or made, it is never going to be him (he is just a normal little kid in his mind >.>). I mean, he might sometimes wish, wish that he is someone from a comic book or video game, but he will not actually think himself would be anything special. I figure it will be a little tricky on how he will know, maybe he somewhat used it in an emergency, someone saw it; or if there's someone who can sense these special abilities. I think Raph will just freak out if he ever find out about himself.

Hmm... How about I start one and you start the other? It makes sense for Raphael to start on Jordan/ Raphael - he deliver to Jordan's home first - and then change scene to the community center the next day. Perhaps one of the people he's taking care of fell sick - emergency. It could be the time when Jordan watches miracle happen.

Let me know what you think? ^.^

[Raphael Kim Ji Hyun]

My bad to automatically assumed Ronan drinks. Though, where would he hangs out most often? Maybe Raphael will meet him there.

As for Brogan, LOL, that will be interesting to see still So Raphael will lose the drinking contest, he will take it good naturally, and probably earn a disapproval look from Daddy Kim XD

Would you like to pick one or two ideas among these for us to start first? XD

[Christian Moynahan]

Then if you want to start Jordan/Raphael, I'll start Sparrow/Raphael. It might take me a day or two - I have work tomorrow - but I should be able to get it going soon.

As for NaNoWriMo and such, I'm writing a novel right now myself, One I intend to publish, not for NaNoWriMo, but if I get my actual novel finished before November, I might do NaNo myself. Either way, I totally understand if your attention is a little divided, and so does everyone else. xD

[Raphael Kim Ji Hyun]

I shall try to get to the thread tomorrow. XD
*licks Rayne*
Would like to see the novel you've written, I am sure it is good. XD
Hehe, let me know if you're doing NaNoWriMo, we can follow each other XD

[Christian Moynahan]

I'll try to get the other one going either tonight or tomorrow morning.

And I'll let you know on both counts! ^.^

[Adrian Kilvayne]

Ronan hangs out most at the Watcher's PI building or his Restaurant, the MacGuinness Tavern. Brogan wouldn't hose him like that. But he would buy the whole place a round of sake or whatever to be a cool guy xD. I can start them by the weekend maybe?

[Raphael Kim Ji Hyun]

@ Rayne CLICK ME FOR THREAD


@ Laz Hmm... perhaps somewhere close to the restaurant, though Raphael isn't someone to go eat in an restaurant by himself, but he could be hanging out by a comic store/ bookshop nearby and bump into Ronan, maybe even broken a few things the guy bought (yeap, a meeting which leaves impression ). We can see where they go from there.
As for Brogan/Raphael, if you don't mind starting, please? XD

Also, any (among three others) you're interested in getting them moving? Perhaps I can get to another starter when you get to this one.

[Sparrow Akiyama]

Sorry it took me so long, but I'm getting to these posts!

Here is the Raphael/Sparrow one. I'm about to post for Jordan's right now. ^.^

[Brogan Kilvayne]

I just wanted you to not give up on me, plox? I am a slow poster, and for that I apologize. I will get this all done though, mkay?

[Raphael Kim Ji Hyun]

Nope, not giving up on you yet Brogan Kilvayne
I am just having a busy week here. Ending soon on this weekend, it will be better.
