Your earliest memory, and one of your character's earliest memories

[Aloredd]

Tell us your earliest memory and one of your character's earliest memories, and if you want you can include an image of that character. I'll go first to provide an example of what I mean:

My earliest memory was one of my mom taking my older sister and I to a local park to feed the ducks when I was about 1 1/2 years old (I think). We bought 3 bags of bread and went to the park (which was a riverside park) and I went to the river side to call the ducks. I remember shouting something along the lines of "Come here, duckies!" and then a couple minutes later them flying down the river in a, no joke, wall of ducks. I'm pretty sure that mom did something to attract them, but oh well. Just to give an idea of how little I was, the ducks were taller then I was. They were also little turds and tried multiple times to pull the bag of bread out of my hands, so I climbed onto a picnic table. They climbed onto the benches of the table but not the top, so I threw bread at them from a safe distance. I remember not being afraid of them, just a little intimidated because they were bigger and stronger than me and trying to pull the bread out of my hands.

Now, my character's earliest memory is not as fun as mine. It's also from when he was six, because he had his memories from before then sealed away by the giantess who raised him to protect herself. Anyways, his earliest memory is one of eating a wood pigeon by a small forest creek. Nothing spectacular, but it holds more significance once you know his whole story. He does subconsciously remember stuff from before then, but he can't actively recall it. He dreams about it, but he doesn't realize it's his memories that he's dreaming about until one of the other characters peers into his dreams and tells him.

One of my earliest memories is the sunlight slanting across our living-room floor in our old house. We had a yellow-ish hardwood floor, with little nicks and scratches in it from where we'd moved furniture, and me and my brother had played with our toys. I remember lying flat on my stomach on the floor, tracing those scratches with my fingernail. I don't know where in the timeline of my memories this fits in, but I don't think I could have been more than four or five.

As for my character's earliest memory.... Let's pick Akane.

Akane is probably five years old. I say "probably", because she doesn't know, and neither does anyone else. If asked, her only reply will be "..." - which is, honestly, her reply to most questions. Her name probably isn't even Akane. But yes, she is five years old, and her earliest memory is from just a few weeks ago - because her earliest memory is this:

She remembers a forest, and a clearing in that forest, and she remembers the blood. She remembers bad men with swords, and screaming, and more blood. Beyond that, things are very hazy.

But she remembers the river, and the man who gave her her name.

(Hi, read Grassblades - it's got a semi-mute little girl, a grumpy swordsman being the awkwardest adoptive-dad, and lots and lots of blood)

Already subbed and love it ^^ .... and actually contemplating on asking you for tutorials on how you color and decide paneling and essentially your whole process....

[AnnaLandin]

I've been considering doing tutorials, and I do like to talk about my storyboarding-process and whatnot. We'll see when I get around to doing it! XD

I have so many memories I can't tell which one is the oldest. probably the ones when i was a baby and ate with my hands making a mess all around. Or when I could walk and secretly stole raisins and currants from my mother's bakery. Then I would look myself in the bathroom cause I was a bad kid.

But maybe my earliest memories are my baby dreams. And they were about the universe. A different kind of universe.
And that's where the memories of my character are linked.
My character is older than our earth, and because I'm human my brain is not able to know about as much. But her memories began in an empty white space in an alternate universe where lost voices where whispering her ear words she couldn't understand quite enough, and kept murmuring and increasing as she , wrapped in between motherly arms traveled towards a rising black wall of stars.

My earliest memory is back when my family moved into a new house. At that time we had a babysitter and I just remember running up to her and hugging her. That's all I remember of her though. I don't remember how we first met, or how long we had her as a babysitter. I remember being happy to see her again though ^o^//

My character Kaiya from my manga Model Student earliest memory was of her seeing her mother on TV walking the runway in a drop dead gorgeous dress. Seeing that only encouraged her to become a model and wanting to become as beautiful as her. ~

I can sorta vaguely remember being in pre-school. The earliest "clear" memory, weirdly enough, is watching my little sister washing her hands at my grandma's house. Whut.

I'm going to choose mah boy Toru, from Demon King. One of his earliest memories is...watching his mom die. Poor guy ^g_g^.

My earliest memory? Not sure, but they definitely go back as far as when I was three, because at that point we lived in a different house and I remember that house pretty well (and we haven't lived in it since I was three; the house has even been torn down).

My character's earliest memory? Well, I won't mention who, but there's a character in Time Gate with a particular memory that's one of their earliest memories, and it's of them killing someone. You guys will soon learn who :3

My earliest memory had to be when I was a toddler, I was small enough that I was still in diapers because I remember wearing just my diaper and some kind of T-shirt.
I was walking around in the apartment my mom and I lived in and I decided to basically leap frog my way up the stairs, I was close to the top but then I lost my footing and fell down the stairs! I remember hitting my head at least 3 to 4 times, owch...
Afterwards I remember my head hurting and my mom holding me while putting an ice pack wrapped in a towel on my mouth.
I mentioned it to my mom about a year ago and she told me that day I cut my lip open when I fell down the stairs and that my grandmother was freaking out which sounds like her xD

Let's see.... an earliest memory from a character... well I can't say who and I can't say too much :/ it's kind of spoiler territory for me. I can say this though, a certain character's earliest memory is waking up in Hell.

My earliest memory was when I was 1 or 2 years old. There was this game called Altered Beast. You beat up zombies and kicked blue wolves and then the blue wolves would drop these orbs that would make your character super buff and then turn into some sort creature. I still play that game today on my phone and I still get chills whenever I hear "Wize from ur grave" or "Power Up".

I can remember many things from my early days but in fragments.
One really solid memory though is entering a store filled with red shining crystals and warm light. It had a strong scent and smiling people dressed in black. I wanted to stay but my dad carried me out as I longingly looked back.
I later found out it was a candy store in the hong kong airport that we passed by. I wanted candy ;a;

For my character Dahlia from Sundaze
Her earliest memory would be a glare from the sun and the sound of waves. Watching the sky rock back and forth as she falls asleep on a hammock. Waking up to a distinct splash then falling back to sleep

My earliest memory was probably when I was three or so and my mom took me to San Francisco to visit her coworker at his place I think. He made an impression on me because he seemed very happy and had a big bushy mustache. I have no idea why I remember that.

Let's see, Andreas' earliest memory has to be of him around 4 years of age at the park with his parents and he took off his hat because it was hot and other people saw his horns for the first time. He immediately attracted stares and ridicule and it was overall an unpleasant experience.

I generally can't remember many things but I think one of my earliest was when my parents first bought a PC and I was so mesmerized with it. They gave me a CD with the words "Half Life" written with marker on it and me seeing and using a computer for the very first time, I had no idea how to even play the thing. Heck, I didn't even know it was a game! All I really did was walk around and jump and I'm pretty sure I never actually made any progress so I just gave up and listened to dial-up which was much more entertaining for me XD

In From Dust To Ruination, Dust's earliest memory was when he first found his way into his mom's room and... well... I actually made a short strip of it a while back so I'll let that tell the rest:

[SandraMJ]

I remember sitting alone on the sofa and thinking "I'll walk". I had never crawled before (and that's given me a lot of problems with my coordination, growing up) and I stood up, began walking - fell - kept walking -fell - ad infinitum until I got it right.

Coyote's first memory would be seeing his mother arguing with the tribe's spiritual guide about many things.

[starlightcityentert]

My memory is pretty hazy, I recall jumping on the bed at an early age and breaking my collar bone after I slipped off of it. Thankfully I don't remember the pain XD

For my main character of R:ILPERSONA, Rade...well, his first memory unfortunately doesn't exist anymore, since he lost all of them :\ if he ever had any in the first place? who knows.
