Oops
Q2: Oops doesn't know when he was born or where. All he knows is his life in the medieval streets of Casselberry. Citizens aren't allowed books, calendars, or anything scholarly. Farmers have to tick off days to keep up with harvest.

Q3: Oops has no idea who his parents are. It his quest to find them and where he belongs. His only clue is a broken pocket watchlid with a strange crest embossed on it.

Q4: Oops has no idea his he has siblings or not. He can't remember anything about his family.


Plague
Q2: Plague was born in the sewers of Casselberry with 8 other sibling rats, however, he became more than a mere rat when Oops resurrected him in issue 1. That can probably be considered his true birthday.

Q3: Plague's parents are two big sewer rats. They live in a sewer and pester common villagers X3

Q4: Plague has 8 other sibling sewer rats that are normal pesky sewer rats that pester the villagers. After growing up and leaving the rat's nest, Plague never really saw his sewer rat family again. Hopefully they're still doing ok and not captured by cats or rat traps.

Well, I don't really have a webcomic... yet... but I am building up some characters who will be in it once I do! That counts, right? I feel like I've gotten a bit carried away already, though.

Veeery outdated images, ehheh. Here's two out of the five main characters, Sho:

and Miyu:

Also, I've kind of made them react differently than they normally would with some questions. For instance, some questions are kind of dodged due to spoilers and/or just me not feeling comfortable sharing certain plot-thingies yet. And at other times I've made them act unsubtle and shaky about certain things when in the story they might address it more calmly and even lie through their teeth so I could hint at those things better. And there are also instances where they might react differently depending on who they're with and who they're talking to (for instance, Sho is a lot more playful and open around Miyu than he is around anyone else). It's all kind of weird. I want to try to answer all of them the best I can, though.

------------------------- Part 1: The Basics -------------------------

1.) What is your full name?

Sho: I'm Takawa Sho. Er, well, I guess a lot of you guys would say the given name first, right off the bat, huh (I don't get it)?
Miyu: Uchikura Miyu! Nice to meet you!

2.) When and where were you born?

Sho: I was born on March 5th, 1948, in my own home in Tomonoura, actually. Let's just say a lot could've gone wrong if I were born in a hospital.
Miyu: Hmm, I think I was born in some hospital in Fukuyama, though I don't really remember the name. I was born on New Year's Eve, 1947! It's a little inconvenient, since it's easy to forget my birthday when my parent's shop is so busy and everyone's celebrating, but it sure feels great to be older. nudges Sho
Sho: Pfft, you may be older, but you'll never be able to get this. snatches hat, holds it up high whilst walking backwards
Miyu: H-hey, no fair! reaches desperately I've already finished growing...! GET BACK HERE chases

3.) Who are/were your parents? Names, occupations, personalities, etc.

Sho: My dad's been dead since I was a baby, so I don't really remember much about what he was like, nor could I really receive any guidance from him. As for my mom, I feel like she's the type of person who was loved by everyone at school, but isn't exactly one of the favorites at work - she's a secretary. But she's pretty cool. She's very laid-back and young at heart, and lets me drink coffee with her in the mornings.
Miyu: My dad's first name is Makoto, and my mom's is Chiyo. My mom is a little on the sterner side and probably is the one who keeps things together a lot of the time. My dad is more carefree and a joker, and so my mom often gives him a hard time. But it's in a playful way, I think. They love each other very much and seem very happy. They also run a ramen shop together, and I help out whenever I can, and that can be fun! I've gotten to know a lot of the regulars and they're kind of like family, too. Everyone's been so kind and has done their best to take care of me and make me happy; they mean the world to me and I love them all so much.

4.) Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?

Sho: I'm an only child. I can only imagine how much of a handful having siblings would be.
Miyu: I'm an only child, too. Oh, but wouldn't having a little sister be so much fun? We could share a bedroom and play games and I could tell her stories and dress her up in cute clothes---
Sho: Don't tell me, you'd do her hair just like yours, too?
Miyu: Of course! What's wrong with that?
Sho: You look like an alien with that hair-do.
Miyu: Eh? If I'm an alien, then what are you supposed to be? points at Sho's head

5.) Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.

Sho: I live in a small, two-story house in Tomonoura with my mom. My mom works for a decent part of the day so she's gone for a while, but even when she's home, she's very laid-back, so it's usually very quiet in the house. She likes to lament upon her life as an adult a lot, though. She says that so much about her has changed since she was a kid, yet she sounds so much like a kid saying it, heheh. As for Tomo... it's... okay, I guess. It always smells like fish... ick.
Miyu: Tomo's a little on the crowded side. Everything's right next to each other, including the houses. But I think that's a good thing. Like, the market is just a short bike ride away, if not a short walk away. And everyone's family here! Especially with the shop; when I come home I see many familiar faces, not just my parents'. Although the shop tends to make things even more crowded than usual, since our actual living space is confined to the upper floor. Oh! Yeah! I also live right next door to Sho! It's great 'cuz he gives me rides to school every day.
Sho: Surely I'm good for more than that.
Miyu: Heheh, although I really can't recommend living in Tomo - or in Japan, really - if you can't stand fish. It's a mystery as to why the gods thought Tomo would be a good place for Sho. Sho just lives off coffee.

6.) What is your occupation?

Sho: Oh, I'm just a student. If you ask me, that's already too much. My lazy time is precious. (edit: also a full-time insensitive jerkwad)
Miyu: I help out at the shop whenever I can after school, but I wouldn't say it's a job, though... more like a given. I love it, though! S-speaking of which, please stop by sometime! I guarantee, you'll love it! I'd make a recommendation, but honestly, everything's really good, so...! bows
Sho: She's obligated to do this to everyone.

7.) Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.

Sho: Uh, sure...

Height: 5'8
Weight: 148 lb
Hair color: White
Eye color: Blue-green
Style of dress: Pretty sure the fact that I'm Japanese yet naturally look like this is enough of a fashion statement. I just wear t-shirts, dress shirts, khakis... stuff like that. Nothing special.
Distinguishing marks: Me, as a whole.

Miyu:

Height: 5'2
Weight: Y-y... you don't need to know that...
Hair color: Dark brown
Eye color: Dark brown
Style of dress: Eeh... I wouldn't say it's anything special. It's pretty plain, I think. I don't think I'd look good in anything else...
Distinguishing marks: Hmm, I don't know... does anything about me really stand ou--

Sho: Nope. You're delightfully average.
Miyu: 10/10, for knowing how to make a girl feel special.
Sho: Hey, anytime. That's my job, actually - you can go edit that back into the previous question if you'd like.

8.) To which social class do you belong?

Sho Well... it seems like everybody's middle-class, or working-class. I'll just assume the two of us fit in there somewhere. Or, at least, our parents do.
Miyu: All I know is that Sho, himself, doesn't get paid squat for his "job." A smack upside the head, maybe.
Sho: Always worth it, nonetheless.

9.) Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?

Sho: ...
Miyu: ...a-ah... i-it's... none of your concern... right? Let's talk about something else...

10.) Are you right or left-handed?

Miyu: Oh, that's easy! startles Sho out of sulking I'm ambidextrous, so I can pat my head with my left hand and flick Sho in the forehead with my right hand, see?
Sho: I don't think that's how it wo-- OW FUCK

(both are righties)

11.) What does your voice sound like?

Miyu: Well, I don't know about my voice, but I guess Sho's voice is more medium, like it's not as deep as a lot of guys' voices at our school. But it's not high-pitched, either. He usually isn't too loud, either, but his voice is very clear-sounding, I guess.
Sho: ruffles hair ...I'd say... your voice is a little soft.
Miyu: Hmm? Soft?
Sho: Well, not like it's quiet, but more like... it's gentle and... sweet, I guess. Y'know, soft.
Miyu: snickers
Sho: W-what? What are you laughing for?

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?

Sho: Miyu likes to say "mecchanko∼! " a lot, in that typical squeaky girl voice.
Miyu: I don't know about words, but Sho likes to make a lot of moaning and grumbly noises, heheh.

13. What do you have in your pockets?

Sho: Uh... shakes out coat a lot of wrappers... and crumbs... apparently some disposable chopsticks...?
Miyu: Geez, no wonder why your grades are no good; you're so disorganized! As for me, I say pockets are for hands. The only thing I keep in there is this. holds up necklace with shell-shaped locket Jewelry isn't allowed in school, so I wear it during breaks, when the teachers aren't looking. It's our little secret, all right?
Sho: Seriously, you don't have to wear that thing all the time...
Miyu: Huh? But that would be such a waste! You gave it to me, after all.

14.) Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

looks at each other
Sho: Mm.
Miyu: Nope!
Sho: We're perfect, obviously.

------------------------- Part 2: Growing Up -------------------------

15.) How would you describe your childhood in general?

Miyu: Oh, being a kid was so much fun! Me and Sho used to hang out with all sorts of kids. For a while we played with the older kids. We used to do all sorts of stuff, like playing baseball in the street and making giant forts around the house. And then there was this one time in the market where we were all pretending to be pirates. The older kids were sneaking around, stealing food from the stands. Once I was pressured to grab something, instead of running I started bawling my eyes out right then and there, heheh. Everyone else was basically forced to return their stuff and apologize, although I think the adults were more focused on trying to get me to stop crying.
Sho: Many have come and gone since then...
Miyu: Yeah... the older kids left eventually. And we didn't have the best of luck in making other friends for a while. But we did fine by ourselves, I think! We played make-pretend all the time and always went on crazy adventures. I wouldn't be surprised if at one point we accidentally wandered out of Tomo. We made friends in middle school, though - Nariko and Taichi.
Sho: Oi, Nariko's scary.
Miyu: Ehheh, I wouldn't say that...

16.) What is your earliest memory?

Sho: I don't know how old I was, but I remember sitting on the floor, staring at the cat. I was about to touch her nose when she pounced on me and startled me.
Miyu: I... might remember being born. Like, I can picture slowly coming into a bright light, with blurry faces smiling at me--
Sho: Don't write that down; that's impossible.
Miyu: B-but I can picture it so easily! Er, I mean, I guess it could've been a dream or something, or...

17. How much schooling have you had?

Miyu: We're both 1st years in high school.

18. Did you enjoy school?

Sho: grumbles
Miyu: Heheh, school's all right! Taking notes and tests aren't that fun, of course, but having friends makes it worthwhile, I think.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?

Sho: ...skills? Uh...
Miyu: I probably don't have that much... but it would probably make sense that any skills and abilities I have are probably from my parents or from school.

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.

Sho: ruffles hair Er, I didn't really look up to anybody. I was pretty independent.
Miyu: I feel like I admired all of the adults in Tomo, not just my parents. I remember I'd wander into some of the shops and touch and ask about everything. Sometimes they'd even give us little assignments. I remember Sho being particularly clumsy at them, heheh.

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?

Sho: My mom and I got along fine. Not much else to say about that, really.
Miyu: I went to my parents for everything. They always gave me their best advice and even though my parents were still running the shop back then, they always found time for me. I'm really lucky to have such a great family!

22. As a child what did you want to be when you grew up?

Sho: I know there was a time when I was pretty dead-set on being a baseball player. Thank goodness I got over that crazy idea.
Miyu: Huh...? But being a baseball player would be so cool!

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?

Sho: We did all sorts of stupid stuff.
Miyu: We liked playing with boxes! We would jump inside them and pretend they were all sorts of things! We also played baseball a lot and ran all around Tomo.

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?

Sho: I was kind of an... angry kid.
Miyu: Er, I'm not really sure... am I really any different from when I was little?

25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?

Miyu: Well, as I said, we mainly played with the neighborhood kids when we were little, but after that we didn't exactly have the best of luck in making friends...

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?

Sho: Ew, kisses? With a girl? looks at Miyu Don't they have cooties?
Miyu: Huh? What are you, a little kid?

27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?

Sho: You've got to be joking.
Miyu: blushes N-no, nothing like that!

28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.

Sho: Don't tell me you actually believe in stuff like that... ruffles hair
Miyu: ...w-well, as for me... I guess what helped me to be who I am today and do the things I did and still do is my parents. I can't imagine what it'd be like without their guidance. And I have a lot of great friends, too! I guess that's about it... right? glances at Sho
Sho: Mm.

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?

Sho: Well, technically, being born.
Miyu: Uwaaah, all these questions are so hard! No wonder why Sho's always weaseling out of them.
Sho: I'm not weaseling, I'm just... skillfully dodging.

30. Who has had the most influence on you?

31.What do you consider your greatest achievement?

32.What is your greatest regret?

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?

38.What is your best memory?

39.What is your worst memory?

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

41.What is your greatest fear?

42. What are your religious views?

43. What are your political views?

Miyu Er... I don't exactly know too much about politics...
Sho: I don't really care.

44. What are your views on sex?

45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?

Sho: ...who do you think you're talking to?
Miyu: I-I would never kill anyone! No one should have their life taken away from them.

46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?

Sho: grumbles
Miyu: Well, my mom and dad are really happy together, so I guess that could be considered true love.

48. What do you believe makes a successful life?

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?

Sho: I'm not sure if a biased or predjuced person would really recognize or admit to that...
Miyu: I don't have any that I know of... I try to be nice to everyone, no matter how different they might be.

Wow, halfway through already! Gotta catch up on these!

Oooh fun idea! I did something like this for my character bios, but I'm always down for more character building stuff!

Here are the two characters I am going to use from Burning Bright:

  1. KEELA

  2. FERRIK

Q1: WHAT IS YOUR FULL NAME?

Keela: Keela Marina Hanson.

Ferrik: Ferrik.

Q2: WHEN AND WHERE WERE YOU BORN?

Keela: My mom told me I actually had a home birth, so I was born in the same house I live in now in Maryland on March 4th.

Ferrik: I was born in Kerak Erames, in the Oberen, since that is where my parents lived. In our terms, he is also born on June 23rd

Q3: WHO ARE/WERE YOUR PARENTS?

Keela: My mom is Bree Hanson. She works as a dental hygienist. My dad is Dominic Hanson, and he's a manager at Target in Easton. My mom isn't the most patient person, but I think it's because she has to look at peoples' nasty teeth 5 days a week. She's awesome on her days off (except if she gets in a mood where she wants us all to clean the entire house), and we've actually recently been spending more time together, going to movies and stuff. I get my hair from her! My dad has been a manager since as long as I can remember, so he knows how to handle any situation with poise and a straight face. But he still loves to come home and tell us all about the crazy customer he had to deal with every day! He loves to barbecue - which is fricken awesome - and he keeps saying one day we'll install a swimming pool in the backyard, but I doubt it will ever happen.

Ferrik: I cannot answer that question.

Q4: DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS? WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?

Keela: I'm the middle child. Ben is two years older than me and he's been acting really annoyingly superior right now because I'm about to go to college in the fall and he thinks he knows so much because he's already halfway through. If I'm being honest, he is actually pretty smart. He always liked playing us in Clue and Scrabble and Scattergories and pretty much every other board game because he knew he could win. My sister, Mikaela (Mikki), is about to start high school. She pretty much just stays in her room all day, except when my best friend, Bran, comes over. It's actually kind of annoying how obvious she is about her crush on him - and I can't decide whether I want to be mean about it and tell her it's never gonna happen between them, or if I want to let her figure it out on her own.

Ferrik: If you mean siblings related by blood, no I do not. All the same, Asaki has been my closest friend since we were children and we have been through so much together, he is my brother. We are family to each other, and that created bond is stronger than any forged by blood.

5 Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.

I did live in the dorms with Rebecca, but later moved the Wilde household. The dorms were a little utilitarian, but Rebecca did make it seem cheerful. I remember being there a week and she was the first to offer Breakfast Tea with just the right amount of milk. It was a good thing because my first class strangely started at 5am. I suppose there are people who wake up before dawn, but I prefer to feel the sunrays on me before I can even decide to get up. I guess it has to do with how I store ambient fiery energy within. The sun acts as my primary charger. Things got a little tense with Neil, but Rebecca made sure I was ok. That made things feel homely there.

The mansion is beyond anything I have ever seen. I have not really seen a house that large before. I think my room is the size of my parent’s home on the first floor. There is a lot of gold, silver, and bricks. Absolutely no steel at all. I bet contractors scratched their heads at that, but then...I am sure the Wilde’s have people for this type of job. When you are a fae among mortals, discretion is the key. I know that a mansion might not be discreet, but it does seem like in the middle of nowhere. Lord knows how it gets electricity, but something tells me...that the lights are not running on any grid. I do not dare ask Lily because I am not sure if I want the answer.

Fio, Lily, Conway, and sometimes-even Titania show up here. I mostly associate with Fio and Lily, who are like sisters to me. Conway, or Oberon they call him, tends to treat me like a dirty little secret that needs elimination. I am not sure what I did to offend him, but I do mostly avoid him. I have not gotten a bead on Titania. If you read Midsummer Night Dream, yes...it is THAT Titania. If you blink, you might miss her. She was polite to me, but she rushed herself off to some other task. I did not detect she was overly hostile with me, so it just that she is busy with other things. She is the Queen after all.

There is a lot of woodland in the back. It is a good place for Lily and me to practice our magic. Actually, correction. For me to practice my magic. Lily is not afraid of a forest fire as she has more control over the elements than I do right now. She could stop a fire before it got out of control. The main problem was making sure I was not seen. IF people knew there were people who could control fire, there would be a witch-hunt all over again. There is also a Jacuzzi and pool, but I only try to go waist deep into the water if I can help it. Fio brought me into the Jacuzzi to relax, but too much cut off from the ambient energy is like strangling me. There is not a way for me to go into the pool without worrying about submersion. I stay away from it.

I offered to pay rent with money I get from the club, but Lily insists on calling the place my home. It is difficult to refuse Lily with her pleasantness.


-------------------------Echo ---------------------------------------- Hrodland ---------------------------------------- Osmund----------------------
1. What is your full name?
Echo : My name is Echo Dreia.

Hrodland : Hrodland. No other name.

Osmund : I'm called Osmund Wander, yup!

2. When and where were you born?
Echo: I was born on 2nd Phirb 1541 at the castle of Esus. And this is still the place where I live.

Hrodland: 15th Siba 1536. In the desert.

Osmund: When? Oh, it was hmmm...16th Zamarber 1535, yes! A pretty long dya for my mother. I was born in Fomores, in a tiny place near the border.

3. Who are/were your parents? Names, occupations, personalities, etc.
Echo: My mother, Iris, was a warrior for the kingdom at the time of war. She loved to create me new wooden puppets and play with me. I love my mother.
My father is called Glenn, and he is the actual peer of Esus (but it is a secret). I am looking for him. he loves sewing and poetry. That is how my mother fell in love with him.

Hrodland: I don't know my real parents, they abandoned me. And the guys who adopted me don't need your concern.

Osmund: Well, I am an orphan... But they were travelers and had business with books, I think? I was like 8 or something when they died, so I don't really remember, I'm sorry.

4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
Echo: No, unfortunatelly. My mother was too fragile to give birth again. They told me once they wanted to have a bigger family, with a little brother or sister.

Hrodland: Yes, the natural children of my parents. They came long after me. And it is still not your concern.

Osmund: Nope! We were escaping Fomores, they didn't think about feed other children. It was already hard with three people.

5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
Echo: I live with my father at the Esus Castle. It's a beautiful and really new place, done quickly tahnks to earth magic. there is also Abel, a very nive friend, Mia, the assistant of the Archmage. She's a little bit blunt but really nice in the end. There's also the Archmage who doesn't appreciate me... ? And of course, the King, his family and all the knights. There are also trainees for other regions, because Esus has one of the best knight school.

Hrodland: At Thuata Sa. I live alone.

Osmund: I... don't have a predilection place? Maybe Sequana, it's where I learned everything. All the traveling doctors from the Itinerant Doctors guild vow to not have a real home. Like this we can help the most people we encounter in our journey. It's really hard sometimes, but it's for the best!

6. What is your occupation?
Echo: I... do not have an official occupation. I'm a peer and a noble's daughter, I never needed any job.

Hrodland: I'm a mercenary.

Osmund: I'm a doctor! I come and visit a lot of cities and villages to help people.

7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
Echo: I have long brown hair and golden eyes. It is a very rare color, we are a few to have it. I am Taranian, approximatelly 1m65. I love wearing blue, dresses or pants, it doesn't matter.

Hrodland: Jeez, you just have to look at me. Red haired, long hair, green eyes, tanned, 1m83, yes I have scars, I'm a Taranian and I don't care about you.

Osmund: Oh, oooh! I'm not really tall, 1m74 frowning But I do have short curly and amazing blonde hair, my lgiht skin marries perfectly my black coat! I love dressing in black, it gives me a certain look. Maybe I scare people because I look like a deadly person? Heehee. I love black!

8. To which social class do you belong?
Echo: I'm a noble.

Hrodland: Go to hell.

Osmund: I'm a plebian... But hey, who said plebian can't be doctors?

What is your occupation?

Oh, that question. Well, I suppose you are expecting me to say student, but my life is not that simple. When Neil took me in, there were many expenses to get my education up to university level, which put me into a considerable debt. Of course, Neil charmingly said in the beginning that he would help me change my life. He did not lie, but he purposely did not say he would handle the cost. According to the University, I am here on a scholarship. If I do not do as Neil asks, he will expose me to the authorities. I would be deported and sent back to the streets. I do not doubt he would find a way to make my life a living hell after that. Don’t believe he is that vile? Look up the legends on Pwcca and you will see what I am dealing with. Don’t exist? Well, pyromancy do not technically exist, but here I am.

According to Neil, I am here legally, but I have serious doubts about finding a job with limited marketable skills. Strange enough, that is how I discovered Lily. Neil took me to this Burlesque club called the Darling Moonshine. Apparently, when he is in Virginia, he is a regular customer. He said I could get a job waitressing and the men are generous tippers for someone of my ...caliber. I started to worry then, but the fear of repercussion worried me more.

In addition, there she was. She was about my height, but she was the most amazing woman in the room. There was a reason for that, but...well. She comes over and wonders what a sweet little thing like me is doing in a club like this. I was nervous, so she took me into the back Neil did not dare follow. It did not make sense to me then, but with the way things have been going, I think someone like Lily might scare the crap out of him. Alternatively, maybe...who her adoptive father is. Might be both...or Titania. Hell, I am scared of Titania some days, so I do not want to see what would happen if Neil got on that bad side.

The interview was strange due to the fact it did not really feel like one. Magically, she had a cup of Irish Breakfast Tea with just the right amount of milk waiting for me. She started to get to know me and wonder why I was here. I had know Neil for some time, but I felt a connection to her. Something powerful. I started telling her about my debt and how nervous I was.

A complete stranger in her office and you know what the first thing she does? She offers to buy the debt. Can you believe it? However, I am the one who leaped in without looking, so I did what my father always told me. Own up to it. I said I rather work. She smiled and said waitress definitely make good money, but it could take many years to work off the debt.

Then I saw the posters on the wall with elegant women dancing in fancy lingerie. I ask her if this was a strip club. Even though Neil told me that it was a Burlesque club, I had no idea what that meant. Lily kindly explained it to me. Yes, there is skin, but it is done as an art rather than sleazy. If men fail to meet a certain conduct code, they have Big Kevin.

The retired Marine is a very large men and no one picks a fight with him. Well, no one who has brain cells. I saw a guy get on Big Kevin bad side. The guy hop around and jabbing that jaw. Big Kevin hit the guy once and it was over. Let us just say that students and regular enjoy the safety because Big Kevin is on the job.

I felt a little pressure at that time. Lily did mention that dancer got opportunities to get paid more. When Lily told me the amount, I thought it was enough to make a reasonable payment and have money to live by. I was just hoping that Neil wouldn’t go back on his word on what I owe him in payments. I am now learning that...he really can’t. Once a deal is in place, he must follow through. However, that also meant I had to. Therefore, I asked her about dancing.

Lily had an opportunity to have me get naked to show her what I got. She also had the opportunity to show me the door. Instead, she asked me for my ID. I showed her the only papers I had and she sighed at my age. She told me that regulations were tough about minors in terms of alcohol. Since there is a bar, this problem could lead to serious consequences.

I didn’t have a moment to get distress when she held my hand. I felt a tingle. Keep in mind, I rarely see her in public without gloves. There is a positively good reason for it. Her skin was magical to touch, which could cause people to fall deeply in love with her..or lust. I was never quite sure how far it went. It didn’t feel anything further than the magic. She double checked my name on the papers and smiled. It was rather confusing then, but now..I suspect she knew what I was.

She called Fio in and I met the pale woman for the first time. She wasn’t a big woman, but she was not someone I want to mess with. She looked me up and down before going “Sup”. Lily told her that she wants me to try out as a background dancer and that she was to keep her eye on me. Back then, I thought Lily didn’t trust me. Now, I knew her reasons. She wanted to protect me. Not just from members of the club, but from the world. Like a parent should protect a child.

Now, I have moved up to private dances and solo dances with various ranges of undress.I don’t know how I get away with it from law enforcement, but it had been smooth sailing. I go by Cherie D’Arcy, which is a cute burlesque name.

I kinda like it. Yea, it pays the bills. However, the glamour, the makeup, the mystery. It was definitely different from a strip club. Fio told me I had the grace of a mountain lion and I was a fast learner. It definitely help me be established in the states...one way or another.

Hey, thanks so much for doing this! I'm still trying to make my first webcomic so even though I know a lot of the basics of my characters, just getting it down in writing and trying to create natural dialogue is helping me to get to know my characters even more. I hope more people will participate. smile

To which social class do you belong?
Well, I was born into the Working Class, which there is no shame. My father taught me about earning an honest living. Of course, we never did get into strip clubs because I was too young for that kind of talk. However, he taught me the value of work ethics. I did my chores without the need for reward.

My mum was a stay at home. She did help provide for the house by selling various knittings, arts and crafts, and what not. My mother was quite talented like that. Before anyone gets any ideas, it was her choice. My da was not the type who said women belong in the kitchen. In fact, there were times when they shared cooking duties.

I am unsure how the class system works in the States. Lily makes sure I am compensated quite well for my dancing, but I think I am still in the working class. I do not mind at all. I rather earn my keep in life rather than sit on the backs of others. As far as Faerie social class? I haven’t a clue. They are always fluttering about, it is hard to keep up.

I know the feeling.:) Thankfully, many of the things are ingrained in my head from roleplaying the characters first. Many characters in Fiery Soul actually came from a Dresden Files based RPG ...with a lot of chaos!

Edited my last post with the new answers smiley
It's really cool to fill them!

This is such a great idea! :DD My comic is Polyphemus1 and the characters I will be using are Polyphemus and Odysseus. (:

Polyphemus:
1

Odysseus:
1

1: What is your full name?

Odysseus: I am the much-enduring Odysseus, great teller of tales. Zeus loves me. ;D
Polyphemus: I'm Polyphemus, a cyclops and a son of Poseidon!

2: When and where were you born?

Odysseus: I was born in Ithaca in the summer of 1215 BC. (Now 35)
Polyphemus: I was born in Greece in 1254 BC. (Now 74, but cyclopes live longer than humans so it's kind of like he's in his 20s)

3: Who are/were your parents?

Odysseus: My father was Laertes, king of Ithaca. My mother is Anticleia - I hope she's been okay while I've been away.
Polyphemus: My dad is Poseidon, god of the oceans! My mother is a sea-nymph called Thoosa, her father was a minor sea-god too so I've got a lot of connections to the gods! :DD

4: Do you have any siblings?:

Od: I'm an only child, and therefore had no one to rival me as heir to throne of Ithaca! Pretty pleased about that.
Poly: I have many brothers - all the cyclopes in fact! I also have a lot of half-siblings, but my dad is a god after all...

5: Where do you live now, and with whom?

Od: I'm currently on way back home to Ithaca - it's a beautiful island in Greece filled with my many wonderful subjects and of course my great big palace. I hope I get home soon, I can't stand to be away from my home and my wife and son this long! )': My son Telemachus would be 11 now, he was born just before I left for Troy, so he wouldn't remember me. He must be so grown up! My wife would, of course, remember me. Penelope is the most beautiful mortal woman I have ever seen. Honestly, I think she's better looking than Helen, and I was forced to fight in a war over that woman. Penelope's also a lot smarter, we make a good pair!
Poly: I live in a cosy cave on a small island somewhere near Sicily with my many sheep! I love them all equally, and I take the adults out to graze every day and take good care of them all. I actually have some goats as well, but they seem to take care of themselves a lot. They don't really like to let me look after them much. ): There are also many other cyclopes living on this island! But they don't talk to me much, and I'm happy being alone with my sheep anyways. I'm not very good at talking to other people, I always seem to mess things up. D:

6: What is your occupation?

Od: Officially I'm the king of Ithaca, but I haven't had much chance to do my duties since I left to fight Troy over 10 years ago. Since then I've been a glorified soldier and tactician fighting for Melaneus, but I suppose now my main job is as a ship captain leading my remaining crew back to Ithaca. They're good men, and they've lost a lot of friends.
Poly: I'm a shepherd; caring for my sheep, making cheese and occasionally attempting to look after goats!

7: Write a full physical description of yourself.

Od: I'm ruggedly handsome, 35 years young and super buff. I have medium toned skin and very dark brown hair. I've been growing a bit of a beard since Troy, and at the moment it's pretty stubbly but looks great anyway. My eyes are deep brown and if you haven't figured out I'm a catch yet, I am. Currently I'm wearing a white tunic that shows off my shapely thighs and knee-high sandles that are both practical and fashionable. I also have a scar on my thigh that I got as a boy in a hunting accident when I visited my grandfather Autolycus.
Poly: I'm a cyclops, so I my most obvious feature is the single big blue eye in the middle of my face! I'm bald but my hair used to be brown, and my skin is greenish. I'm a little below average height for a cyclops, I think about 7' 3"? I haven't measured myself in a while, though. I'm pretty strong, but my muscles aren't that big. Compared to the other cyclopes I'm a skinny weakling! I don't have any scars either, whenever I hurt myself it doesn't seem to leave a lasting physical mark.

8: To which social class do you belong?

Od: Well, I'm a king, and Ithaca is the best place in Greece. Probably in the world! So I'm in one of the highest classes there is. However, Ithaca doesn't really have that much power. Menaleus of Sparta and Agamemnon of Mycenae have more power than me, but they're also the people that dragged me into 10 years of a war I didn't care about all because of some stupid deal I didn't think would ever be relevant. So yeah I'm better than them.
Poly: Social class? I don't think we have that among the cyclopes. Is that a human thing? A group of people called the Phaeacians used to live on our island with us so I saw a little of kings so I think I know what this might mean, but I wasn't ever particularly interested in that! I guess we cyclopes have a council who meet to decide things that affect all of us but anything important is done by voting, and both of these things are pretty rare seeing as most of us keep to ourselves for the most part. Anyway, I'm not one of the council so if you could call that a class I'm not in the top one. My vote also doesn't count for much either, I usually try to turn up to the votes but I'm even more secluded than the others, so they don't think what I have to say matters much! It's sort of true, but still. I guess that makes me a pretty low class among the cyclopes. I know humans have shepherds as well though - so where would I come if I was human? I hope it's pretty high, shepherds have the best jobs! They must be in high demand! That would make a lot of sense.


Well, that took a long time. Really helped with sorting out all the bits of random information I have on my characters though! Plus, none of them were spoilery, which helped. :DD This thread is great. ^-^

Oh, this sounds like a lot of fun! I think I'll do Alistair and Julius. I don't give them enough love.

1. What is your full name?
Alistair: My first name is Alistair. And then I have two middle names, Beezlebub Dai. My last name is Vualson.
Julius: Oh, I'm Julius Robinson.

2: When and where were you born?
Alistair: Uh, well, technically speaking I wasn't "born", I was hatched. Most Neo-Americans are. But anyways, I hatched at home at around... 6am on June 3rd, 2988.
Julius: Oh, uh, I was born at this hospital called, like, Heaven's Stairway? It's in Texalvania... And my birthday's February 20th.

3. Who are/were your parents? Names, occupations, personalities, etc.
Alistair: My father, Vual, is... intense? I guess? He's pretty busy with work, so I don't see him a lot. Thankfully. He's the founder of one of the larger meat producing factories. My mom, Hera, is pretty nice compared to him. She's honestly kind of childish, but I don't mind.
Julius: I had a dad, but he was turned by vampires. I was young when it happened, and my mom doesn't talk about it, so I don't know his name. Speaking of my mother, her name's Deliah. She works part time here at Kingslane and she's REALLY over protective. Like, extremely. If she found out I was a Huntress, she'd flip!

4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
Alistair: I have a brother named Azazel. We... We don't talk much anymore. Ever since Tai came around, he's been rather... distant.
Julius: Sadly, I'm an only child. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a cute little baby sibling!

5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
Alistair: I currently live in the Steam Sector in Los Angeles.... In Neo-America. Heh... Um... My house has it's own patch of land like most in the neighborhood. The house itself is honestly quite big. It's got 3 stories as well as a basement, 2 living rooms, a kitchen, a grand dining hall, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 master bathroom, and a small library. I live there with my mom, father, and brother. We don't interact much outside of dinner or the dreaded "Family Fun Night".
Julius: I live in Kingslane, of course! I just recently moved into a dorm. I was suppose to have two roommates: Tai and one other girl, but only Tai showed up. While I'm afraid her radiation might be slowly killing me, she's really nice to be around! At least... She is when she's not in "Alpha Mode" as she calls it. But, like, she's courteous enough to be quiet at night and she's like my backup wake-call. I personally think the room itself is kinda small, so I'm glad the third person never showed up.

6. What is your occupation?
Alistair: I-I technically don't have a job... Not anymore. And I'd rather not discuss my past occupation. I'm going to be a Hunter though, more out of necessity than interest.
Julius: I am a certified Huntress of Kingslane! I defend the human race from monsters beyond your imagination! My mission is to wipe out the troublemaking demons, vampires, werewolves, and other creepy things! They're the worst... except Alistair, of course! He's, like, not even that bad?

7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
Alistair: I... What? Ok...
Race: White Neo-American
Species: Demon (Feline + Avian)
Rank: Passive Omega
Height: 6' 2
Weight: 137 lb
Age: 150 years (18 human)
Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Golden
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Style of Dress: Trendy, but simple
Tattoos: Family crest below left eye, barcode on right wrist
Scars: Large, splotchy scar mid abdomen (approximately by second stomach)
Julius: You're just full of questions, aren't you?
Race: White American
Species: Human
Rank: Passive Delta
Height: 5'4
Weight: 140 lb
Age: 18 years
Hair Color: Dirty Blonde
Eye Color: Baby Blue
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Style of Dress: Cutesy, almost childish
Tattoos: None
Scars: None

8. To which social class do you belong?
Alistair: Upper class, Steam Sector! :3
Julius: Let's say about middle class.

9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
Alistair: Like most Neo-Americans, I'm allergic to pollen. Other than that, I've been treated for any potential disease.
Julius: Do my annoyingly large boobs count as a weakness?

10. Are you right or left-handed?
Alistair: Left
Julius: Left!

11. What does your voice sound like?
Alistair: You ever see that anime called Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet? Julius says I sound like the main guy, Ledo. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Julius: I have a like, airy, high voice. But not high as in squeaky! I've been told I sound very adult for my age.

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
Alistair: "Oh uh..." "Um??" "Please don't" "Fuck"
Julius: "Like" "So..." "Wait." "Right"

13. What do you have in your pockets?
Alistair: Uhh, let's see here. I've got some extra Bitcards, my phone charger... some wrappers? I think Tai put those there. Oh! And my phone.
Julius: I don't, like, have pockets. But I keep my phone, my books, and a change of shoes in my backpack.

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Alistair: Welll, I've been told that when I'm nervous I fiddle with things and/or take stuff apart. I guess that explains why all my clothes are missing buttons...
Julius: Oh, I tap my foot a lot without even notice it. People HATE it when I do it.

I have the same vulnerabilities as fire. I know how that sounds, but my entire body is based on it connection to fiery energy. That is why I do not swim or take baths. I do shower, but it is enough to get clean and get out. Otherwise, it becomes really painful.

However, that vulnerability also affects other areas. I have to find clothes that do not float easily. I can contain a lot of fire power, or about 6.7 trillion joules. That is a rough estimate to capacity of energy I can safetly carry. However, it is not likely I carry it all the time. Even at the high numbers, I probably emit about 5% of it. Unless of course, the energy forcefully emits, which all of it goes out. However, 5% can still cause clothes to slip off or do something outright embarrassing.

This seems fun. I'm going to try to do it for all of my 3.5 main characters... though I might skip a few questions.

Creep: He tol. His superpowers make his body really stretchy, so he looks really thin and lanky most of the time. His hair dark purple, his skin is pink, and his eyes are red. He doesn't really pick out his own clothes, so he just ends up wearing whatever Riley had on when he transformed or his super-costume.
Sam: She's short and average build. Her hair is dark black (though she dyes it that color) and she is pale and freckled with brown eyes. Her style is more varied than any of the boys. She's just as happy wearing a t-shirt and jeans as she is wearing a dress. She doesn't do heels though.

Riley: His voice can get a little higher than he wants it to be at times, especially when he's nervous. His voice is a little nasally and he tends to speak more quietly than the siblings and Creep.
Creep: Similar to Riley's voice, but deeper and louder. He also gets squeaky when he's nervous or in an argument. When he thinks he's being charming or sly, his voice gets deeper and kind of drawls.
Sam: Really clear and even toned, she never mumbles. Her voice can get sort of gravelly if she's angry or upset though.
Alex: Alex's voice is very clear like his sisters, though deeper and more animated. He laughs when he's talking a lot and if he's about to say something funny you'll know. He also has a tendency to get sing-songy when he's excited or teasing.

Riley: He really can't complain. He's an only child with two parents who love him very much. Things could get a little boring sometimes, but that's just because his parents protected him from things.
Creep: Didn't really have a childhood?
Sam/Alex: When they were very little they had a good childhood, but their mom died when they were still fairly young. Their father did the best that he could and they never wanted for anything... but things could have been better. They became very close since their father was kind of emotionally distant after their mom died. Alex ended up taking care of Sam a lot.

16. What is your earliest memory?
