Juliet Starling. Middle child of three sisters who recently celebrated her 18th birthday, which was on the verge of being completely ruined when one of her classmates Swan conducted a ritual to open up a bridge between Earth and the realm of undead known as Rotten World, a means of revenge against those at San Romero High School who had hurt and bullied him in the past. The summoned lords known as the Dark Purveyors infected hundreds in their path while on Earth, including almost half of the students and faculty at the high school. This leads Juliet to don her bedazzled chainsaw and proceed down a long path to kill the Purveyors before they spread their plague further, resulting in her having to dispatch every changed resident of the city that stood in her way from confronting Swan. However, the death of the Purveyors proved to be part of Swan's plan as their dying ritual words were needed to summon the ruler of Rotten World to Earth, Killabilly. An epic fight ensued high above San Romero where Juliet used her trusty chainsaw to carve her way inside the zombie behemoth to get at his heart, which was detonated via the sacrifice of her would-be boyfriend, ending the zombie plague on the city. Allowing Juliet to finally celebrate her birthday with her family in peace.
As a high school student of San Romero High, Juliet guises her personality as a bubbly, amiable, innocent, lollipop-obsessed cheerleader, in order to maintain normalcy within her presence of San Romero. Outside of her social life, Juliet conceals her shocking family secret as a zombie hunter from society and was formerly insecure about divulging it. Juliet's inner personality is exemplified by a mature but violent (and sometimes vulgar) nature, with enjoyment for zombie slaughter, regardless of who some of those zombies may be. At other times, Juliet can often be oblivious or simple-minded in frequent situations, as she can become easily distracted by minor details or react inappropriately to statements. Some of the traits in her personality tend to become inconsistent, quickly shifting from pleasant to aggressive. Insecure about her weight, Juliet can be regretful about her obsession with lollipops, often being concerned with the size of her buttocks.
Juliet has perfected several combination attacks combining her chainsaw with gymnast-like movement, flowing between sweeping low attacks aimed at the legs and higher elevated strikes to attack the head and torso. Chainsaw Stab, Armadillo Spin, Chainsaw Full Swing, and the ultimate Holy Chainsaw are some of her more commonly used combos.
A phone and a MP3 player are also housed inside the chainsaw's engine compartment.
One might speculate that this is a magical or magically-powered weapon as it seemingly has infinite fuel. Juliet never needs to put any type of gasoline into it, nor does it appear to have a battery pack or electric cord.
Her chainsaw has been upgraded twice thanks to birthday gifts:
Spectators have questioned Juliet on where do all those rainbow thingies when she cuts a zombie in half come from, and her reply is always, "From awesome".
• Juliet is portrayed to be the almost perfect and level-headed sister of the three. Not as hardcore as her older sister, and not bratty like the younger. While not a perfect angel, but easily the more approachable and 'normal' daughter.
• Juliet's surname can be viewed as a reference to Silence of the Lambs' protagonist, as both share last names and are called to action during their lives at their academies/schools.
• Juliet's name is taken from the main heroine of the famous Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet.
• Her favorite quote is credited to Leonardo DiCaprio, despite it originating from Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. This means that the quote Juliet uses was sourced from the 1996 adaptation.
• Juliet stated that the first zombie she killed was when she was 6 months old, using a sharpened rattle.
• She has a notable habit of swearing frequently during her fights.
• Juliet is fluent in Japanese.
• Juliet doesn't smoke or do drugs; in fact, she doesn't know any of the nicknames or street terms to any of those substances. For instance, if someone offered her a 'space cake,' she'd assume it was some cosmos-themed sweet.
• Her surname "Starling" is a surname of Anglo-Saxon origin, indicating that Juliet's family has English/European heritage. "Starling" is a Middle-English surname literally meaning "Starling", in reference to the bird of the same name. "Starling" was also used as a nickname for a raucous or voracious person. As a cheerleader, this is fitting for Juliet.
• San Romero High School pays homage to the iconic creator and director of the zombie apocalypse genre, George A. Romero.
• Juliet is played after the events that happened in the Lollipop Chainsaw game upon receiving the good ending, which involves saving all of her classmates and defeating "The Zombie of Zombies," Killabilly. This means that Juliet's mother Elizabeth does not become a zombie, and Juliet celebrates her 18th birthday with her family. The only significant change is that Nick does not survive his sacrifice to destroy Killabilly. I've taken a creative liberty with this because during the ending, Nick gets resurrected because of his selfless sacrifice, but his head gets attached to Morikawa's 77-year-old body. Juliet doesn't come off as shallow to break up with him because of that; however, it would have trapped this character to that NPC, leaving no room for a potentially different relationship through play. So as much as I did love Nick throughout the game, I had to say goodbye to him.
• There is no sequal or epilogue to explain what happens after the events of the game. Since San Romero High School appears to be based off Columbine, I have to assume crisis counselors and the like were called in to help deal with the grief of the lost classmates, faculty, and others. There were several cheerleader and football player zombies throughout the game, so Juliet must have lost several close friends, in addition to Nick.
• I rarely age my characters, so Juliet will still be a senior in high school for 99.4% of the roleplay.
• The name's Riri—nice to meet you! โฅ
• Female writer (she/her), legal age, and over two decades of online roleplay experience. Yeah, I'm old.
• This page is best viewed in either Firefox (preferred) or Chrome. Requires a high resolution (1920x1080) for everything to look how it should—4K preferred.
• Juliet is specifically for modern-fantasy settings. She is the protagonist of the Lollipop Chainsaw franchise which takes place in a fictional city in California, so she can easily blend in with most Earth-based settings. Do note that while she is an expert zombie hunter, I am not interested in post-apocalyptic, dark and gritty Z-Day-type storylines. Her universe is a more comedic and over-the-top take. More Shaun of the Dead, less Dawn of the Dead.
• This character is crossover-friendly with characters from media that share similar genres. While I may not be familiar with every type of anime/show/game out there, I am willing to discuss ideas and do some research if a storyline piques my interest.
• Discord play only. Forum and message boards are practically dead, and journals look absolutely obnoxious.
• Reactive: I give back what I am given through play, but I have a fairly low tolerance toward people who don't put in any effort or much character interaction. Fluff is boring. My posting style is 3rd-person storybook and multi-para/novella range. I get quite descriptive and lengthy if I'm feeling the scene. I make it a habit not to one-line unless it's for comedic or add-in purposes.
• Not looking for purely smut-based play. If relationships and sex happen, coolies. Her story/smut ratio is 7:3.
• Over the years I've found that players that do not possess some type of character profile are lazy, typically falter fast, and are overall not worth the effort. There is no excuse to not have one because there are plenty of mediums available to create them—even if it's written out in a Word document. The "learn everything about my character through RP" excuse is weak because apparently, some people don't understand profiles are OOC. They are there to give a brief overview of a character and to help players construct ideas—that's Roleplay 101. This stance has loosened some since Discord offers no elaborate profile space. Still, there are outlets for serious RPers to use, so use them.
• No OOC drama—If it begins, I will end it.
• I tend to be a bit quiet and reserved, but friendly! It's not you, just the way I tend to act. I'm not the most talkative and gossipy, so don't expect me to carry on long conversations and small talk.
• I keep a thick line between online and real life. It's nothing personal but it keeps needless bullshit to a minimum, and issues are easier to deal with when those lines blur very little. So I don't give my number or address, send pictures, etc. If you want to contact me just leave me a DM, and I'll read it eventually.
• I live in Japan (JST), which is anywhere between 12–15 hours ahead of anyone in the US. Just a heads up.
• Most importantly: have fun~ โฅ Else what's the point? We're here to write and game.
