Name:Joseph Sarrows Age:18 Gender: Male Ethnic: Caucasin Appearance: Brown Hair with hazel eyes and a lanky. Sort of fit from all the hiking he does. Short Bio: He inherited the local hobby shop from his uncle who moved away. When he isn't busy with that he is building figures or taking hikes in the forest. He lives in the apartment upstairs. He isn't very good at normal conversation but gets by with his friends. Talents and Skills: He has a limited but practical understanding of machinery. Just don't ask him to code. He can do some basic camping stuff and he likes to make maps. Power: Invisibilty. Name:Lizonard Copi Age: 18 Gender: M Apperance and current clothing: Short blue hair. Denim, sneakers, loose hanging T. Personality: Mostly tries to keep to himself. Calm and level headed most of the time, but prone to knee jerk reactions and occasionally suffers from 'love at first sight' syndrome or 'Brock' syndrome, which in turn makes him act awkwardly unpredictable. Opens up when talking or ranting about things he likes. Talents: Some experience in video, graphics and sound editing. Backstory: Lizonard is by profession a Youtuber. Not famous though due to him not revealing his true identity and keeping anonymous, he's still highly watched for his ranting 'let's plays', movie and game reviews. In real life however he lives in a small apartment and just manages to get by. Having had a fallout with his family he has little support, keeps mostly to himself and will be forever alone, thus spending most of his free time playing Fire Emblem. Despite all this he's mostly pleasant to be around (if only for being the butts), and has a positive outlook on life. Name: Kaitlyn (Cat) Rogers Age: 18 Gender: Female Ethnic: Caucasian Appearance: 5'6" and 135 pounds, she's slim for her height and generally meek. She wears sweat pants and a pink tee with a cloth, hooded, jacket over that, usually left open. Sporting a pair of Vans, she's also one to wear running shoes. She's got straight black hair pulled back into a ponytail and braided. It is usually pulled over her shoulders as she'll fiddle with it from time to time. Everything about her seems completely average, from skin tone to cup size, and she doesn't stick out from the crowd. You certainly can't tell under the baggy clothing she's sporting, or her petite nature, but she's decently strong for her size, having stronger then normal legs from running. Her eyes are a light hazel and she wears light makeup, mostly eyeliner and a lip gloss, all the time. Short Bio: Cat is so average in every way that it almost seems deliberate. If you asked her she'd tell you she fine all the time. Her grades are good, but nothing to write home about. When running for track, she's always in the middle such that she's even got the nickname Robert Half the Way on the field. In a race of four people, she'd tie for second or be third, in a race of 5 she'd be third and so on. She'll talk with a group, but as much a listener as a talker. In fact, everything she does seems like it's forced to be average. At home it's another beast entirely. Having suffered from depression for as long as she can remember, she finds the loneliness crippling. She's even gone as far as to cry herself to sleep at night. Her parents love her and her pet cat even hangs out with her. She has a diary, but doesn't see a point in writing in it and even has a small laptop that acts as her window to the outside world where she doesn't have to put up a facade. It was on that computer that she felt free for the first time when she started watching a Youtubers Ranting videos and seeing how powerful and open he was. Life seemed easier for him, intimidatingly so. You could see the shock on her face when she found out that none other then Josephs friend Lizonard was that Youtuber and she strove to be closer to him so that she might derive strength from his persona. She'd never gotten the chance, however, preferring to stick to herself and having to fight that urge as is, but that drive to be strong like Copi was on Youtube was always her goal. She goes day by day watching his videos and being as average as can be. Talents and Skills: She's got a lot of potential, physically and mentally, but because of her emotional being she holds herself back in almost everything. She can run well and speaks rather eloquently when she needs to. And while she'd not extremely intelligent, she's smart enough to fake people skills. She'd probably be good at many things if she only applied herself. Power: Cat transformation with stages between full house cat and normal human. No matter the form, she's got good reflexes and instincts and always lands on her feet.
Late morning on a Friday, a vintage Gaming store with Cards, Table tops, and old arcade system was sitting, waiting to be opened up for the day. 10am. Normally they didn't open till noon, but Friday was usually a busy day. Joseph walked up to the door from inside and unlocked the door. He'd inherited the shop and kept it nicely. Given the mad rush, he'd asked his friends Lizonard and Kaitlyn to swing by and help out. It was cheaper then hiring actual employees, though he did compensate them for their efforts. They'd probably be by soon. Joseph walked on by and sat behind the counter, double checking that every card on display was in it's proper place and that the shop was prim and proper.

Joseph checked his mental checklist. "Dnd Books...Shadowrun books... Warhammer Books..." As he went through the mental checklist but he couldn't help but imagine himself on the covers. They were so interesting and fun... then he looked out the window at his town. Simple people, simple life. Limited. Joseph sighed and continued his checklist going throughout the store. After taking inventory he sat at the desk and played his DS.

Lizonard opened the door to the store, backpack swung over the shoulder and smartphone in front of his face. "Hey Joseph." He greeted without looking up. "How's the day treating you?"

"Well I had to fend off the Balrog again. I told him no refunds. You can't repackage this stuff." He said in as serious a tone as he could but ultimately being sarcastic. "Is this live per chance?" He asked looking at the phone.

"No, I'm checking stats and stuff, I wouldn't record you." Lizonard said putting his backpack behind the counter. "Who's the Balrog again? Was it the librarian?"

"No he was the demon of the ancient world of Lord of the Rings. And what do you mean not record me? I could learn to play the tuba. Would that make you want to record me?" He asked getting up and going to the storeroom. He came back with two brooms. "Oh. Real quick help we sweep a bit." He held out a broom.

Lizonard took the broom and lightly hit Joseph on the forehead. "I know who the Balrog is! I mean what customer? And you know I stay anonymous on my channel so I don't put up my friends."

"No I was... saying the Balrog was the customer... it was a joke. I don't serve anyone on the side of Sauron in this store. Unless the Fire Nation attacks. Everything changes when the Fire Nation attacked." Joseph said starting to sweep. He was meticulously sweeping. Making sure to get every area.

"If it means you're going to make more sense then I'm all for a Fire Nation attack." Lizonard said as he joined Joseph in sweeping the floor.

"Sense is so common they print it as pennies. It is madness that is as rare as diamonds." Joseph retorted. "So first customer will be about 30 minutes at minimum. An hour max maybe. Mostly hipsters who have no... genuine jobs. Though I can hardly judge." He said grabbing a dustpan.

"A friend. Who has an unconvential job and doesn't view my life's work as a fun trend to dump... I take this stuff seriously." Joseph said. And he meant it. He looked over at all the counters. "Each product is like a child. I want it to have a good parent."

"Ha. Sue me if I am a captialist. But I take my business seriously and while I'll sell anything to anyone id prefer if they actually enjoy the product for a long long time. This only coincedently leads people to buy additional supplements. Its a coincidence." Joseph said trying to sound innocent as a joke. "Have you seen Cat by the way?"

Cat walked up to the door and knocked before coming in, "I'm here." She said kind of quietly, though still loud enough for them to hear her.

"Morning Cat, how's life treating you?" Lizonard greeted her before answering Joseph. "Sure, but make it something vegetarian. Four cheeses would be nice. I don't like to eat a lot of seafood or meat for breakfast and I make my own bacon."

"I'm good, thank you. I ate earlier." Cat said and walked further into the shop. She picked up the broom Joseph set down and swept where he'd already done it, not because the job wasn't done but mostly so she felt like she was doing something.

"No, I'm fine. Maybe I'll get something later. I'm just not feeling food right now." Cat said and swept faster, "Sweep sweep sweepy sweep." She grinned and a little dust was thrown about instead of just swept into a pile.

"Pizza it is if I am buying and Cat doesn't want any." He dialed on his cellphone and called in the order. It helped they were 5 minutes away from the pizza place. After Raider went to get the pizza he sat it on the table. "So how is life everyone? Any big plans?"

"There's been a slew of digital card games hitting the market lately." Lizonard said sitting down and grabbing a slice. "I may spend some time with some of them, see what it comes down to."

"The monetary and time commitment are mostly the same whether it's digital or physical." Lizonard said. "These are more accessible to people like me and Cat though since we don't have to spend money off the bat."
