and there’s so much under that umbrella term I know I haven’t explored every aspect of it,

I know I definitely haven't, I just created my first Peruvian characters recently. I have the most experience with Mexican, Venezuelan, and Dominican people I think, so those were my go-tos in the beginning.

so it’s hard to like connect with an old old person lol or for me anyways.

Interestingly, I've never struggled with this, even when I was like 6. I think the trickiness comes from any mental divide where you think you're very different from someone, but people almost always have things in common. I grew up watching old cartoons and black-and-white movies, actually, in a lot of ways I've been an 'old soul' my whole life, and I just talk to whoever, regardless of the age gap, so old people and I actually got a long pretty well.

Now idk, since I don't speak the language in the place where I live.

I have quite a few brown OC's from a fictional race.

Zalas, also known as The Shadow Emperor. He's one of the main antagonists for my web comic/novel.

Ravad. Also known as the Sun Emperor. He is a side protagonist for my web comic/novel.

Kirin, a priestess-in-training. She is one of the main protagonists.

I just created my first Peruvian characters recently.

Heeey I have a Peruvian character too! But yeah most of my characters are Mexican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican as that's who I grew up with the most.

Interestingly, I've never struggled with this, even when I was like 6.

Ah yeah I have older friends too, I don't struggle to talk with older people. Most of my friends are slightly older than me, but I have a few who are/have been in their 40s-60s. One of my besties from college is in their 50s but I adore them xD We call each other siblings.

I think people get along more based on personality things though. You see I mostly just meant the old people in my town specifically They're a bunch of really miserable old pretentious people who even if i wanted to talk to want nothing to do with someone like me. I've tried connecting with through the art gallery and events there but they treat me like I'm diseased so I kinda just gave up lollll their loss I guess :O?

Now idk, since I don't speak the language in the place where I live.

Oh that sounds tough ): I hope the language starts growing on you <3 I've learned language best from immersion, but it can def be tricky learning a new language so I wish you the best of luck.

Leyelle:

well that's understandable, unfortunately some people are like that. It has everything to do with the individuals, regardless of age, ethnicity etc, who we'll be able to connect with

[beebutterbee]

Exactly, they just happen to be RUUDE old people but definitely not all old people are like that. Unfortunately this small town is just filled with a lot of people with bias and prejudice :’)

[Tursastheeternal]

Beros from Sazzon is supposed to have a middle eastern look, although it doesn't show in the pages due to my black and white artstyle.

Yeah, it's sad, but I get what that's like and I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I honestly wish everyone could just be kind to each other in this world, though that sounds hippy-ish i guess, but I suppose everyone has to be allowed to make their choices.

Still working on my episode buffer, but this is my sci-fi action adventure main character and the antagonist. He is Latin American - taino ancestry.

Introducing Iezeal (eye-zee-el), one of the key protagonists / side-protagonists of "Ashes Awaken". She's a jack of all trades by nature, not really a strong fighter but she knows how to defend herself when in a pinch, and an avid lover of spicy foods.

[Jam_J]

[Leyelle]

ooh, spicy food. Same here

[Leyelle]

So this is my french queen, who is basically the palest character I have (a gorgeous, pastel emo snow-white lol), but her bff is the one on the right, and he's Malaysian

[Leyelle]

Ayla Deanne from "A Dozen Morning Glories." She is one of my absolute favorite characters from this novel because she's so adorable and wholesome, so I figured she needed a moment of appreciation.
