CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Junpei
Canon: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors
Reference Link: official site | wikipedia (spoiler-filled and poorly-written) | picture

Character History:
Unexceptional student Junpei is just a few months away from college graduation when he's kidnapped and whisked off to a sinking cruise ship to take part in a 'nonary game'--a set of logic and number puzzles laced with explosives and wrapped in a ten year old revenge plot. Of course, he quickly gets distracted from the danger to his wellbeing when he runs into Akane, his best friend from elementary school, now a lovely and nubile adult. At this, he redoubles his efforts to get her out of the nonary game and/or out of her pants. After a series of confusing puzzles in increasingly creepy settings, real and supposed exploded people, endless exposition, and countless dumb quips, he is finally able to save Akane by transcending time and space to help her complete a sudoku puzzle. She rewards him by skipping the cruise ship (incidentally located in Nevada) without him, leaving him to chase after her forever.

Personality:
If you ask others about Junpei, you'll get glowing descriptions like 'oh, that loser?' or 'what a jackass' or 'he's kind of an idiot.' He himself would be the first to admit he's a fairly unremarkable guy; he likes girls and colorful vests and bad jokes, internal monologues and solving logic problems and punching walls. He is the kind of guy who isn't afraid of looking stupid, which is good since he often does. He's more a grunt than an idea man, he'll listen to extended theories on mutations and high-temperature ice while locked in a freezer, or theories on idea projection and shared consciousnesses while standing around a bathroom, but he rarely has much to add. That said, he has a surprising knack for figuring out math problems.

In general, He's no natural hero and about as far as you can get from a Jesus-type, but he's a generally friendly, good guy. ...Except when he does stuff like leave other guys to die so he doesn't have to separate from his not!girlfriend for 15 minutes. But that doesn't really count.

Writing Sample > Survey

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Junpei's my name, so, 'Junpei,' I guess. Just don't call me late for dinner! Ha ha ha...

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
No way! It's important not to have too much cluttering up your lower leg.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
A few hours, I guess? Depends on what's going on and who else is around. It's not like I talk to myself! Not out loud, anyway...

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
No way, that would never happen! Except that whole nonary game thing with the bracelets and the bombs and the being trapped in an incinerator, but that was a special case!

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
A funyarinpa. I'm sure there's no need for further explanation.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
J-just whose misery are we talking about!?

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
A fork seems the obvious choice, but at the same time, what if there's ice cream, or a lot of extra little crumbs? The prongs would really waste a lot of time. ...Yeah, a spork is definitely the way to go!

08. Do you trust yourself?
Sure! Probably...

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
Being in love means never having to say you're sorry--even to the police.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Geez, do we have to end this thing on such a downer? Though, I don't think even my parents noticed that time I ended up in the desert for two weeks... Goddammit.
