Character: Tsuruga Ren
Series: Skip Beat!
Character Age: 20
Canon: Skip Beat! is the story of a young girl who drops out of school and moves to the big city to be with her man as he follows his dreams of singing and stardom. That is, until he stomps on her heart and tosses her to the curb once his name's gotten big enough. Then it becomes the story of a young girl on a quest for revenge as she tries to break into show business so that she can rise above the douchebag and shove her fame in his face mercilessly, crushing him to pieces and dragging him down into the depths of hell. Or, well, down to the bottom of the charts, anyway. Surely things will go just as planned.
Or so she thinks, until she actually joins a production company and meets other people in the business. Like Tsuruga Ren, someone who is definitely at the top of his game in the acting world. He's handsome, amazingly talented and takes his work very seriously. Known as "the number one man ladies would like to date," Ren gives off the vibe of a perfect gentleman. He's kind, sensitive, friendly, has a wonderful smile and is a great co-star. As with his work, though, some of this is definitely an act. Despite his apparent glowing reputation, Ren is actually kind of a dick and won't hesitate to tell someone off (in the nicest way possible, of course, since he prefers to kill with kindness. And shoujo sparkles). He's also got a mysterious and emo past, but he's doing his best to overcome his demons and move on with his life.
Sample Post:
When I was told we would be shooting in a top secret location, this isn't exactly what I had in mind. I suppose I can somewhat understand the use of blindfolds, but I hardly think drugging me was necessary. I don't quite appreciate being treated with such disrespect, and I'm sure there are much better ways you could have spent your time. Like finding the director, for example. I've been waiting here for several hours already and I would really like to get started. So, please. By all means, stop wasting my time and actually do your job.
. . . Well, at least I'll have some semblance of peace and quiet for the moment with my staff gone. Still, I do have to be honest. Despite all the setbacks, this is the most elaborate set I've ever been on. From the rundown buildings and actual cows, to the extras shuffling around in zombie costumes . . . Even Marcy is perfectly executing her part as the damsel in distress on top of that silo. The budget for her particular outfit alone must have been huge. I can only imagine all the work it takes to get those tentacles moving individually like that. It's also hard not to get caught up in her energy of her performance. Hopefully the rest of the cast will be just as enthusiastic, although I also have yet to meet any of them. --Ah, wait, I think this person might be one of them.
Hello, are you working on I was a Teenage Cephalopod? . . . I'll take that nod as a yes. It was starting to look like I was the only primary actor who had shown up. I'm Tsuruga Ren, by the way. What's your name? . . . Ah, the script did call for a mime, didn't it? I'm impressed at your determination to not break character, although I don't believe it called for such obscene hand gestures. That is entirely inappropriate and no I will not join you in your box.
