For example: He cannot understand why Tom (Whose girlfriend Ichi was having a pleasant conversation with last week) dumped him into a garbage can, was absent for a day, returned with his arm in a sling and a black eye (Kat had an un-pleasant conversation with him),and now won't talk to him. He thinks he persuaded the leaders of the Kendo club to let him join, and that his father buying new equipment for all the members was a coincidence. His sister... "Eh, Kat? She's a nice girl, She seems to making more friends now. But I don't understand why she dresses like that ...Must be one of thoes things." He is currently taking second year English and Math, Chem, European History, Metal Shop, and attends Kendo Club meetings three times a week. Although English is his second language, he and his sister became fluent after their mother pointed out to their father that Ichis grades in the subject were low, and he highered a tutor for them. He does poorly in Chem and Math as he is constantly loosing track of decimal points. And in shop classes...his ability to occasionally rise above the occasion has salvaged his grade from his tendance to utterly botch assignments. Family: Mother: Susan Littleton Aoyoma met Ichi and Kats father Ayoba while she was taking a semester abroad in Japan. They first met at the top of the Tokyo Tower while waiting for the elevator to take them to the ground floor. At first The tall, thin, blue haired American girl was cold towards the older man who was trying to hit on her, but when she leaned that he was a successful banker, she warmed right up. Their marriage was shaky, and after the twins and convincing her husband to move the family to America, she may have wanted a divorce. She died in a solo car "accident" five years after Kat was born. Father: Ayoba Aoyoma: A middle aged and rich Japanese Investment banker. Believes that there isn't a problem that can't be solved by throwing enough money at it. Son not making friends? Buy off the sports team. Daughter complaining about lack of attention? Raise her allowance. Daughter getting in trouble at school? Buy the school board. Wife becoming unreasonable? ... ... Let's move on... Twin Sister: Katherine Aoyoma: Inherited her fathers Asian looks and her mothers blue hair, not that anyone can tell anymore. Is nearly 10 min younger than her brother. Her current bid for her fathers attention involves a headband with cat ears, dying her hair different colors every other week, a pair of custom made -corrective- cats eye contact lenses, and beating the snot out of her brothers antagonists. She used to be a nice, but attention starved girl, but when she her older brother get beaten for tripping in the wrong place at the wrong time, she decided that protecting him might be more important than her fathers attention. The family lives in a mansion several miles from the school. While Kat generally spends time with her friends at their houses, the Kendo club has taken advantage of Ichis generous offer to allow them to use the houses video room and gym. Ayoba is almost never home. RDMgryphon rdmgryphon@earthlink.net
