Give me a bit. We've gotten a (terrible) rough draft of the backstory by me, which we'll be revising. Once that's done, we begin Kokoro Beats for real! I'll make sure to get you some things to do when we begin!

Just updated info for Cotton:

Name: Cotton Kiyomi Mirai
Age: 16
Nationality: American
Troupe: Electronic
Personality Traits: Fun, understanding, emotional, and impulsive
Backstory:
At 7 1/2 years old, a large electrical fire had broken out in her family home while she was alone. She couldn't make it out in time and was hospitalized, causing much distress for her family. Her face, specifically the region around the eyes, was burnt so bad that it was thought that it would cause her issues later on, so the doctors proposed a solution to her parents, they said it was possible to save her face and eyesight, but they were unsure if it would be possible. They could try and replace her eyes and part of her face with a small screen that could mimic the basic functions of the region. Her parents immediately agreed to this, wanting their daughter to have a normal life, the surgery was a painfully long, but it was successful. Years later she's still living normally, and she's even figured out how to customize the screen!

Skills: Staying hidden away, drawing, and food preperation
Weaknesses: Stamina, cleanliness, and test-taking
What do they want to accomplish at KFAA?: To be good enough to publish her songs and become popular in the music industry.
What got them into music?: It was once just a way to help her get away from reality, but her friends once heard her music and recommended that she should try and get better and publish her songs.

(also, if we don't want a lot of mental illnesses and what not, why don't we have it as a first come first serve system with a set number of people allowed? Also, what style/size of tiles are we going for?)

Great! I don't want to do a first come first serve, cause that might make some conflicts.

Tiles? Not sure. Ask HundenBasse

Sounds good, but uh, we really can't have no age for them. No name is questionable but I'll allow it for now. But we really need an age for your character
