Sora Ishida

Aliases Sora, Marly-mun, Double (to Apa only), Kindred (to Haunt only), Sowa (to Fort)
Age 25
Birthday January 25th
Gender Female
Location Melbourne, Australia
Character Merlin, and (dropped) Marluxia
AIM CalicoSora, MrFlowerPetals, Sneaky Geika
Journal Sora's place of sporadic posting

Sora is a complete dork, and so is writing this in 3rd person.

 

She apparently likes to play characters that are nothing like herself (according to Riley), since Marluxia was a creepy, manipulative bastard; and Sora is a (mostly) nice, if insane slightly kooky, Aussie girl.

 


About

Sora is 25 years old and currently studying the course with the world's longest title ever *takes a deep breath* Bachelor of Multimedia (Games and Interactivity)/Bachelor of Science (Computer Science and Software Engineering).  It's a double degree/double major, whatever you want to call it, that is meant to take 4 years.  So , if Sora is lucky, she'll have a degree (or two, I guess) before she's 30, hurrah!  She is finally happy, though, after getting out of Aerospace Engineering where she'd been plodding along for 6 years and not getting anywhere.

 

Hobbies: Sewing (patchwork, clothes, cosplay, anything really....), Reading, Writing, Watching anime, Bumming around on the internet, Roleplaying, Yoga, Gaming, Pulling apart computers (and occasionally putting them back together), Writing excessively long Wiki entries, Procrastinating, and Sleeping.

 


RPing History

Sora has been RPing since about 2003 or so, when she played Omi and an OC in a terrible, awful, OC-dominated Weiss Kreuz RP.  It didn't last long, thankfully.

 

In 2004, while heavily obsessed with Kyou Kara Maou, she saw an ad on the main KKM LJ community for a new RP.  The concept sounded exciting, so she decided to apply.  The RP was OMG!Maou, a KKM RP based on the OMG premise where every character has a "double" pulled from an alternate universe into the canon one, and thus creating IC and OOC versions of every character.  Initially she had wanted to apply for IC Wolfram, but saw there were already several people vying for that position, and decided to make her chances easier by applying for someone else.  She applied for the role of IC Murata, and was successful -- playing him from the day the RP opened until the fuzzy-unknown period where it kind of died out in early 2007.  She also played OOC Julia for a short time during 2006, but was really rather crap at it and never tagged for her.

 

After OMG!Maou, Sora's RPing ventures slowed a little.  Her new obsession was Kingdom Hearts, and she applied to play the character of Saix at first No Name Kings, and then at Card Castle (when NNK folded before really starting).  Card Castle, too, was short lived, and so -- being wary of the large pan-fandom RPs  springing up everywhere -- she decided to stay out of the community RP scene for a while.  For about a year, Sora RPed one on one with a friend over email and IM as Saix, and racked up about 30,000 words worth of interaction (because she is a dork, Sora has it all neatly saved in GoogleDocs).

 

In 2009, Sora decided to reenter the RP scene, mostly because her good friend and "Double" from OMG!Maou days, Apa, was having so much fun playing at Wasteland and Marina Asylum.  The premise at Marina seemed more interesting, and had the added bonus of the Kay-Li modteam (who she was already familiar with - both from Card Castle, and Kay herself from the later days of OMG!Maou <3).  Still being obsessed with Kingdom Hearts, she decided to try her hand at playing Marluxia, since he had always been taken already at previous RPs and she really wanted to try playing him.  Obviously, she succeeded (or she wouldn't be writing this now), and hopes that she did a decent job of portraying the Graceful Assassin, while she had him - though she knows she did not do it as well as some others she has seen. ORZ

 

In early 2010, life of work and study took its toll, and playing a plotty, sneaky, demanding character like Marluxia was just too much.  Sora had to decide to drop him after an overlong hiatus, and bid sad farewell to the Marinarans. 

 

But wait!  There's more.....she finally got her shit together by mid year, and is now BACK to terrorise- er, I mean, amuse you all again with her presence.  This time, she's bringing the BBC's version of young!Merlin to the prison.  He's (hopefully) a bit more light-hearted a character than Marluxia, and while very curious, is likely to be less demanding with involvement in srsplots and the like.

 

For the future, Sora was considering taking on a second (or, god-forbid third) character at Marina, but she's realised that while she's still juggling study and work, this is probably impossible.  She would still really like to play Milly Ashford (Code Geass), sometime, though.  Other possibilities include (but are probably not limited to): Kantarou Ichinomiya (Tactics), Gwendal von Walde or Shinou (Kyou Kara Maou), Draco Malfoy (Harry Potter) [whaaaat?  I kind of really want to play him somewhere, sob], Omi Tsukiyono or Ken Hidaka or Nagi Naoe (Weiss Kreuz), Ken Ichijouji (Digimon Adventure 02), and Temperance Brennan (Bones).

 

Fun Fact!  Sora really really really abhors the colour pink.  Despite this, she chose to play a character that has pink hair, a pink weapon, and sprouts pink petals at random moments. Not only that, but she decided to decorate his journal and wiki page with as much pink as possible.  Is she a masochist?  Or just mad? Or even both (most likely)? Thanks Kindred!

Why can't you be a mad masochist?
