Form:


This is a personality contest. Just show us what kind of individual this little guy will grow up to be.

He's got lots of influences he can take inspiration from, from space marines and AI super computers to pro MLG gamers, gardeners and artists. The choice is up to you.

When I grow up...

Username: Belloblossom
Bowl's Name: Emmett Smith
Personality: Emmett shares his father's love if video games, or more specifically, of farming-related games. Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, and Animal Crossing are among some of his favorites. Despite liking games about farming, gardening and socializing with the locals, Emmett shows insecurity about facing these tasks "IRL".

Having started gaming at a young age, thanks to spending a lot of his time with Neely, he's quieter than most and has begun to realize that not everyone in the "real world" is as nice as the characters he comes across in his games. There's a significant lack of chance in getting his paws dirty when he's inside gaming too.

While Emmett certainly means well, he's going to need help from his family if he's ever going to step outside of his digital comfort zone and face the world outside of gaming.

Plot Ideas: "Ready Player One" - After some pushing from his family, Emmett will agree to try to make a friend, so long as he has someone he knows already close by. With his scrappy social skills and anxiety about facing the real world, anything could happen when he actually meets someone. (Nuclear Family RP, potentially he could meet with distant family/cousins/friend of the family's)

"Level Up!" - Miracle upon miracles, Emmett's made a friend and they aren't from any of his games! As he starts gaining "exp" in the real world, he finds that making friends is starting to come more easily to him, even if it's still not as easy as in games.

"Game Over!" - After having a falling out with his friend, Emmett's ready to dash back into his room and call it quits. He'll need another supportive push from his family to get back in the world.

"Marriage Event!" - After Emmett has grown into adulthood and in maturity, he will be seeking his own true love. With games like Rune Factory, you can't continue your original storyline until you fall in love and Emmett begins to search for someone to call his own.

When I grow up...

Username: Dooma
Bowl's Name: Aelst
Personality: Friendly and easily excitable more so when it comes to anything to do with painting. He is such nerd when it comes to brushes and different type of paints even to canvas and proper stretching of it. He loves to learn about new techniques and ways to paint. Will often paint some anything he can including his family members, rocks, walls, really anything he can get his creative paws on.

Plot Ideas: Aelst will always be searching for new art style and things to strike his muses. Loves to find more pretty things and seeks to find beautiful things.

When I grow up...

Username: Yushika
Bowl's Name: Aaron Smith
Personality: Aaron is both a hacker and gamer, inspired by his father. He enjoys playing games, but will begin to take an interest in hacking video-games and altering them, adding mods and other things to previously un-moddable games.

Aaron is clever and quick to react. He's a smart boy but tends to be modest and not display it. He's a nerd and gets shy when talking about his interests, but will eventually flourish if someone shows interest. He is a quiet boy, but will get loud and excitable when playing a game. He doesn't just stick to video-games, either! He loves board games, too!

He has a mild interest in gardening and will attempt it here and there, but he's horrible at it. Down right awful. But he tries, mostly to share something with his mother! He also is prone to trying to insert flower-y mods into games to honor his mom. He feels bad he doesn't share her love for gardening, but he'll go out of his way to show his love for her, anyway!

He also can hack relatively well, but doesn't do it unless someone has wronged him. The worst he'll do is hack someone's computer to redirect them to awful websites, honestly. He could do so much more, but he's too sweet. Precious cinnamon roll.

Plot Ideas:
  • Android: I want him to, by accident, order an android online. They will arrive and a stupid cute love story will unfold. I'm a sucker for this. o n o

Bowl's Name: James Smith
Personality: James is a gamer who isn't above a bit of cussing at the screen when his internet connection chooses just that moment to start misbehaving. He loves games; computer or console, single- or multi-player, oldie-but-goodie or long-awaited-new-release. He tries to keep some balance in his life though, and doesn't play games all the time. He has an interest in cooking, especially being able to use anything that comes out of his mother's garden. He also has an artistic side and likes to either sketch in art books or mess around with art programs on the computer. He doesn't consider himself very good at it and keeps most of his work hoarded away, but he practices in order to better his skills.

James is a cheerful guy, but unless he gets excited about something his energy can seem quiet or contained. He might yell a bit when frustrated with a game, but when dealing with people he doesn't let himself get sucked into emotional storms and works to diffuse things rather than egg someone on. He generally doesn't stick his nose into something that isn't his business unless he feels there's something horribly wrong happening. He's supportive of friends and family, the kind of person you call when you need help. He loves going out, having fun and hanging with friends. He's also good at sitting down and getting a plan put together. He's not the type to plan everything though, just stuff connected to what will be a major change in his life.

Plot Ideas: I have a couple Noodles who are gamers and do Let's Plays and stuff like that, but mostly enjoy video games. I'll probably have him meet them and become part of the group in his spare time, gaming friends and all that.
I want to explore his personality a bit more, but I see him becoming a game designer someday. He'll probably acquire video editing skills and might even try his hand at narrating stories so he can practice voice acting. I'm hoping he can make more tech friends while he works towards his goal. Family is also welcome to chime in and help him or work on collaboration projects with him.
I'm not quite sure what he might end up with as far as love goes. I see them either being a nongamer who help expand his experience with the world (which in turn gives him more personal experience to use in his work) while being supportive of his goals, or someone whose even more of a gamer/tech savvy than he is who help to pull him further along his path while he makes sure they eat properly-cooked food and see the sunlight on a regular basis. That's just the general feel I'm getting and if I stop to think there's probably a ton of paths he could go down, so I'm content to let romance happen as it wills itself lol.
On the topic of properly cooked meals though, I also want to see Kevin's culinary experience expand. He'll probably start out a potato-chip-and-soda gamer, realize how bad that is for the body, and start exploring healthy things and cooking. There will be a few mishaps in the beginning for sure, but in the end he'll become good at it and start being able to make more and more foods. I doubt he'll ever be able to grow the food he eats, but he'll have a strong appreciation for fresh fruits and veggies! He could probably meet Noodles who like gardening and/or cooking who can help him along on his journey to delectable eats.

Username: mewmew kittykat94
Bowl's Name: Ackerley Smith
Personality: As a kit, he's very rambunxious and confident, getting into a small bit of trouble every now and again when playing with his friends. He's on top of the world and while his reflexes for games is nonexistant, he is rather athletic irl.
Over time, he'll calm down a bit. Slowly, he'll become more soft-spoken and relaxed, but not afraid to speak his mind when the need arises. Ackerley enjoys just observing life and enjoying the little things. But one thing is certain: that he's the farthest thing from shy. Social interaction is his life's blood.
Aspiration wise, he wants to be a florist. To be able to make something beautiful to someone that will make another happy just thrills him.

Plot Ideas:
Family time: A given, of course, but something that's at the top of the list of his future interactions. He'll probably be closer to his mother considering their hobbies overlapping, but I want some bonding time over games as well... especially cause Ackerley kinda sucks at them.

Calming down: Some event will be a trigger to the transition to really appriciating nature... Probabably having met someone. Not sure if that someone could

Moving out...?: A failed attempt at moving out and making his own in the world. Let's just say the first shot doesn't go well, the boy can't live on ramen and jerky his whole life and comes back. This will be something to help solidify the thought that his family will always be there for him. I'm not sure if it'll be his immediate family he'll go to or a cousin/grandparent/etc., but it's reinforcing the value of family.

Love: No clue what's gonna happen with this! 8D He's not horribly interested in love, but he'll stumble into it somehow. Actually, more like face-plant into it.

Overall, I do want him to have ups and downs in his life. He needs to experience the hardships while being thankful for prosperity when it shows its face.

Username: Koiasi
Bowl's Name: William Smith
Personality: William is a bit of a sweet heart. He would be more than willing to give the shirt off his back if it would help someone. He's well organized and can be a little OCD at times. He has leadership qualities, but he usually does so with a gentle voice. While he is a bit of a hippie and loves to spend time outdoors, he can also play a mean video game, and it's in this that his more competitive side can come out. He also does well with sports, playing mostly soccer or track.

Plot Ideas:

I want William to grow up to be a school teacher. I think this would help him flourish and show just how much he loves children.

William will begin to work at Soup Kitchens until he finds his calling to help the homeless. He'll build houses with fellow volunteers, doing what he can to make sure everyone he can help will be helped.

I could even see him helping out at local teenage hangouts and holding video game contests.

He'll enter several track and soccer competitions in his free time (when he has any).

I'd like him to meet someone in either of these locations, someone who is a fellow volunteer or perhaps as into sports as he is.
