"So, uh, hey. I’m Yoshi and I don’t really have any nicknames but some people call me by my last name. Don’t make any stupid jokes about super Mario, I’ve heard them all before and they’re getting really old. I’m twenty two years old, but I swear sometimes I act younger and sometimes I act older. Age is just a number and I don’t let it rule my life with the whole “act your age” thing. I’ve moved around a lot but Seattle is my hometown and will always be my hometown. Last year I hooked up with this awesome band called When Skeletons Live and became their techie, I love touring around with those guys. They feel like another family to me.

My hair never stays the same so I’m always changing it. I’ve had blonde hair, black and red, fake dread falls, anything you could think of I’ve had it. Well, I haven’t shaved my head, I would never do that. My eyes are naturally brown but you’ll always see me wearing some type of blue contacts or freaky looking contacts. I don’t like my natural eye color or my natural hair color for that matter, I like things that are out of the norm and I myself am out of the norm so it fits. I tend to freak a lot of people out, which is fine with me since its fun. I have my ears stretched a little bit, but not a lot since I don’t want huge holes in my lobes. I love anything to do with horror, monsters, whatever. I love the strange and unnatural, all of that stuff is just so interesting.

I’m a pretty quiet guy if I don’t know you, but if I do know you then I’m loud as fuck. But, you’re going to have to be pretty close to me to get to see my loud side. I tend to just sit back at parties and listen to conversations or talk to one or two people, I don’t like being the center of attention and I don’t really care if I get attention or not. If I get attention, great but if I don’t then oh well. I’m not one of those people who need everyone to focus on me or else I’ll die. Pretty strange for an only child since most only children strive for attention. I’m also pretty friendly despite my appearance. Yeah, I know I look scary but once you get to know me and get me talking you’ll realize that I’m super friendly and overall a nice guy but I can have my asshole moments/days/weeks. I’m also a recovering alcoholic. When I was in a sober living house was when I met the people from When Skeletons Live when I was just out and about so I got to know them. Touring around there is alcohol around, but I say I’m pretty good with avoiding it and sticking to smoking weed and cigarettes. I’ve never really had a girlfriend before, a few one night stands but never a legit girlfriend. I don’t know why, maybe because I just haven’t found a girl worth actually dating.

Judging by my name you would think I was born in Japan, but I wasn’t. I was born in Seattle, Washington to two extremely Japanese immigrant parents. Don’t ask why they moved to America, I’m not sure of that myself since they choose not to even speak English. I grew up in Seattle and loved it, despite being made fun of because of my name not being Americanized enough and because most kids think I was named after a video game character. Life was good, I didn’t really have a care in the world and enjoyed being a kid until puberty and my teen years came around.

When I was a teenager I got into music, bought myself a guitar and started up a few bands that died quickly. But that’s how it goes when you’re a teen, right? I wasn’t exactly the best kid out there and I would often skip school to smoke weed somewhere with friends. The best thing about it was that my parents had no clue, but they weren’t happy about me skipping school and being at the bottom of my class. When I was 17 I dropped out of high school and devoted my life to music and working a few odd jobs here and there but I mainly sold weed to get money for the things I needed. I also got my hands on a fake id and started drinking, little did I know at that time I would soon become dependant on alcohol and become an alcoholic.

I moved down to beautiful San Diego at the age of 18, being homeless at first but soon found a couple of guys to jam with and crashed at their place before getting a place of my own. Around this time I was drinking everyday. I drank to wake me up, I drank to keep me going through the day, and I drank to put me to sleep at night. My body needed alcohol to survive when in reality, it was killing me. I would rather spend 20 bucks on a mickey of alcohol than on food. I even thought about selling my guitar and one point just so I can get some booze, but it didn’t happen. I would never sell my Gibson. My parents had a weird way of dealing with my addiction, they chose to ignore it. I mean, it wasn’t right in front of their faces but it was definitely noticeable but they chose to ignore it whenever I came to visit until one day when I was 20 my mom and I had a good heart to heart moment which landed me in rehab all the way in Pheonix, Arizona.

While in rehab I picked up drawing, not pretty little drawings but more dark drawings of monsters and everything to do with horror. I loved it and it described me perfectly some days and how I used to be when I was an alcoholic. I spent a good year in rehab and believe that it changed me, there were some hard times when I got out but I did get through it. I’m 22 now and have been clean for a good 2 years now. Okay, not totally clean since I still do weed but I was sent to rehab for my alcohol problem, not my weed problem. I don’t even have a weed problem. I’m closer to my parents now, but they’re still ridiculous and I’m still into drawing and playing guitar. I haven’t got a band together but I get by being a techie for When Skeletons Live which is pretty rad."





^{hey, so i'm steshka!. i've been roleplaying for one year now. as well as this character, i also play just yoshi. you can reach me by pm if you need me for anything. i found made up stories by an ad on the rp site nyny and i'm pretty glad i did. here's an example of mah skillz. (:}

Erika slowly walked down the little boardwalk by the beach, searching for a spot to lay out her towel and get some sun. It wasn’t really packed today at the beach, but there was still a bunch of people and Erika is one of those people who need to find the perfect spot and will spend at least 20 minutes trying to find it. Of course if she couldn’t find a perfect spot she’ll just pick a random one and lay down on her towel, but she always goes on a little hunt before hand. The perfect spot on the sand to her is right in the middle, not too close to the water and not too close to the boardwalk and of course not too close to anyone else; she likes some space around her. As she kept searching she pulled out a bag of chips and started to eat, lays original. She wasn’t much of a fan of flavored chips and if they were flavored they had to be sour cream and onion. She stuck a chip in her mouth and took her sandals off, making her way onto the sand and to a clear spot somewhat in the middle, that right there told her that it was going to be a good day to suntan.

She knelt down and started to unpack, another thing about Erika was that once she found a spot she had to get her stuff all set up. She’s a weird one, I know. Her bag has to be by her shoulder, shoes by her feet, and her water or whatever she had to drink had to be by her head in a hole in the sand that she would dig herself. She’s been doing this routine for a while now and has no intentions of changing it up. She unfolded her Hello Kitty towel and laid it out; making sure it was perfect to lie on and didn’t have any sand on it. Erika had a little obsession with Hello Kitty; it wasn’t a huge obsession like some other people though. Erika took off her tank top and stuffed it into her beach bag while digging for her sunglasses at the same time. When she found them she continued to dig but this time for her iPod, she didn’t want to hear the sounds of other people at the beach even though it was interesting sometimes. No, she would rather listen to music and go through dance moves in her head or just daydream.

Erika lied down on her towel and took off her shorts, feeling a bit uncomfortable with her thigh as always but she could forget about it for today since she wanted to tan and wasn’t really in the spotlight. She wasn’t ever really in the spotlight, but when you have a scar like what she has you tend to feel like you’re in the spotlight a lot like everyone is focusing on the scar. She put in her earphones and turned her iPod to Lil’Wayne, her music obsession. She couldn’t exactly tell you why she liked him, she just thought his voice was cool and some of his lines were clever and she did sort of think he was hot. She took off her ring and bracelet, putting them in her bag as she turned up the volume a bit and stretched out. As Erika got more into the song she started to wonder if Park had picked up her little hint yesterday when she was on the phone with him. She said she was going to the beach but didn’t invite him, she didn’t feel the need to invite him since she figured that maybe he’ll just appear, which she hoped he did. She started to really worry about him after he found out that he had a kid and the fact that he needs to tell his parents. She wanted to make everything better but she doesn’t know how to or where to even start. Erika sighed and sat up, digging out the sunscreen.
