**As of today we're giving all artists who submitted WIPs a small extension to get in their finished pieces because of some unfortunate circumstances. Judging will still run as planned but artists are given some wiggle room to submit the final pieces. All cases will be discussed via PM If an artist desires an extension.

~Read The Fleebing Rules. There's a reason why they are here.
~Follow The Gaia ToS. Plain and simple.
~Interested but not sure how contests work? Read this thread and it'll be sure to help you! [-here-]
~Do NOT steal any graphics OR artwork. Graphics designed by of "Sins of an Angel"; she will murder you if you steal >:{
~Please don't complain about the amount of information.Omg so much to read! Yeah yeah I know there's a lot here but guess what? We prefer artists to get to know the characters a little bit to help inspire better entries. If you're overwhelmed, just skim over the characters at first and make note of the ones that caught your eye then just take it from there.
~Entrants can enter multiple pieces and win more than one prize! However a single piece of art may only win the prize for a single category. If a piece is eligible for more than one category, we'll either offer the artist a choice between pots OR simply award that particular piece with the larger of the prize. If for any reason an artist doesn't like this idea, we'll be happy to work with them further!
~Try to diverse the entries. If it seems like one particular character or category is receiving a great deal more art than the others, we will place a temporary restriction on that section in order to allow the others to catch up a little. This is to be fair towards the other people, both Hosts and Entrants alike.
~Be polite and courteous to everyone. Artist, Patron, Friend of Partron, etc. Be nice to everyone! mad
~Collaboration pieces accepted but artists are responsible for dividing up the prize amongst themselves.
~No begging. Beggars won’t get anything. Period.
~No flaming our characters. We put a lot of work into this, these are our characters and practically our children. If you insult them, I guarantee you will get right on that ban list like there is no tomorrow.
~ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED PAST JULY 1st, 2009. No special treatment for anyone - the exception would be if you have already submitted a WIP and are wishing to send in the finished version for judging. Also - if a valid reason is given we might be willing to accept some late entries. (we'll discuss it)
~JUDGING It begins on July 6th and runs a full week - if for any reason we need to extend the judging time frame we'll make an official announcement. Judging will never be delayed more than an extra week. The only reason I see Judging taking more than a week is if we really do get a lot of entries and need more time to decide.
~If you leave your banner for advertising please take ours. It would also be nice if you stayed and chatted for a bit.
~Don’t be afraid to stay and chat. We are really nice people!
~Ask questions. We don’t bite. Honest.

XXXXXXXXXXX-Banners made. Epic Win.
April 2nd, 2009:Thank you to all of the shops, contests, auctions, etc. for affiliating with us!
April 5th, 2009: We have received our first entrant! Hurray!
XXXXXXXXXXX-Offering different kinds of freebies for bumping! See Freebies Post for details
April 7th, 2009: Page 50 Reached
XXXXXXXXXXX-Lucky user Ragingtofu snagged first post freebie for that page.
XXXXXXXXXXX-Rules and sections updated! Please take a gander.
XXXXXXXXXXX-A poll added for shits and giggles.
April 8th, 2009: ADDED MOAR KINDS OF FREEBIES! GOGOGOOOOOO
April 9th, 2009:We've had so far a couple of issues regarding blatant art theft with entrants trying to submit work that either, wasn't theirs or was too heavily copied/traced. Let me just say one thing right now - if an entrant submits work that isn't theirs whether blatantly ripping off another artist or otherwise, they will be reported instantly the art will be taken down and their chances of winning prizes immediately revoked.
IF an artist wishes to appeal (because we're not total jerks D: ) they must provide samples and adequate proof the art they are re-submitting is IN FACT their own work.
Thanks everyone and I really hate to be a jerk and report people but art theft is wrong and against the TOS. Please understand and we (the Hosts) hope to see some more great entries in the near future! <3
April 15th, 2009:Information about Judging Dates have been posted in the RULES section!

May 8th, 2009:There has been a month extension on this fair contest! So no need to worry about the contest closing too early! biggrin
May 9th, 2009:Banner updated along with the URL! If you wish to swap it, please do so. Cause we aren't going to find all the shops that have it. Mainly cause we're lazy <.< ... heart
June 2nd, 2009:We're on our last month of the contest! So hurry and make your submissions. However, keep a look out for an extension on the contest!
June 6th, 2009:Getting more and more great entries but it seems some of the characters are getting no love. We want to make sure all categories receive an equal or closely equal amount of entires. We totally understand if you like one character better than another but let's try to diverse the entries a little bit! If it looks like some characters are getting way more entries than the others (I mean really significant ratios) try your hand at someone else, you may be surprised! And we'll love your entry no matter what! Thanks~<3
June 6th, 2009:New Poll! Cause everyone loves polls!

This is more like her barbaric outfit.

A Summary of their History: An Amazon woman that comes from a meager, barbaric family. It was a traditional Amazonian village. The women being so barbaric Katie was thrust into fighting tournaments that was held between the toughest of the women. You were considered weak if you could not handle your own.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Race: Amazon
Sex: Female
Age: 23

Eyes: Turquoise

Hair: Chestnut brown

Ears: Average. She's missing her right ear.

Skin: Slightly tanned.

Any defining scars/markings/tattoos: A thin scar across her left cheek. If one of the outfits happens to bare her middle she'll have a scar on her left side from a deep stab wound.

Height: 7'0"
Weight:320 lbs
Body Type: Muscular

CLOTHING:
She has 2 common outfits. Either the battle gear or barbaric outfit works for me listed below for specific outfits.

Battle gear:

Obsidian Sword: The double-edged sword was inherited from Katie's mother. The length from cross-guard to tip is sixty-two inches long; the hilt in addition is another six inches. It holds no magical properties, however, it can not break easily from a magical attack, nor can it be used as a conduit for magic. The material is strangely light. It weighs about twenty pounds. It is made from volcanic rock and steel, giving the sword an almost black appearance. It has some flaws from battles and tournaments that she has competed in.

Leather Whip: This whip carries no real significance. It's just a usual leather whip, sturdy with thick banded leather. It's about seventy inches long. The only time she really relies on the weapon is if she loses her sword in battle.

Armor:
Ancient Armor: An armor that was given to her by Ando, a shaman from the Amazon women's civilization. He had great power, which is proven with the strength and the resilience of this armor. There are two different kinds of metals that are intertwined with one another, making it only slightly stronger than your typical armor, making it only slightly more difficult to penetrate, but it holds no ungodly defense that is worth mentioning. The metal looks its age, showing most of its antiquity.

Breastplate: The breastplate is intertwined with two different metals that hold an ancient power. The material helps her withstand powerful blows as well as intrusion of most sharp objects, swords, etc. It wraps cleanly around her back. Her shoulder guards are attached to her breastplate by metal straps that are crisscrossed between the two.

Collar: Same metal used from her armor is latched around her neck, providing her defense in that area. The strip of armor is about an inch and a half wide. It reaches to a 'V' between her collarbones.

Top: A leather top is beneath the breastplate. There are semi-thick leather straps that come over her shoulders. It is bound to the breastplate and skirt with giving it a feeling of being one piece.

Skirt: Strong black leather strips that are attached to her leather top. It covers her torso while converging between her legs, with seams and metal studs. A mini-skirt of leather strips falls below her waist to mid-thigh.

Arm Guards: The same material that is used throughout all of her armor is also on her forearms. It reaches from her wrist and stops shy of her elbow while coming to a point, guarding her from impervious attacks, and also to keep her wrist locked from getting any damage. Beneath the forearm guards there is black leather that's pulled over her hands and reaches just above her elbows for added protection.

Also, there is a two inch wide section of this material on each bicep. The metal strips that are placed between her elbow and shoulder are to shield against any attacks aimed in that section, while allowing her to still have full use of her arms.

Shoulder Guards: Once again, the same material as her other armor. The two metals are held together over her shoulders to guard from attacks while, also, allowing her to easily send a shoulder into someone without bruising it.

Scabbard: A scabbard hangs from her back. It has one leather strap that reaches over one shoulder to cross across her chest and come back around the other side of her back to connect to the other side of the scabbard. The scabbard is made of tough leather, except for where the tip would rest, that is made of steel.

Boots: Her boots are made of the same material in her top and skirt underneath while the ancient metals on her armor is over the knee-high boots, covering all the way from the bottom of her legs and over her knee.

Barbaric clothing:

It is a long sleeve shirt and a skirt that are made with leather and animal fur, maybe some feathers (not picky as long as it looks barbaric), and she wears calf high leather boots with fur lining. Depending on the occasion she may even wear a painted tattoo on her face, usually just to one side of her face.

PERSONALITY: Katie can be rambunctious and sometimes loud and very blunt, but she has a good heart. She loves to joke around. If there is a joke to be made out of something she will be right along with it. She's fairly intelligent, nothing like a genius, but she has common sense. Sometimes she is slow to answer, but that's only because she's really considering it, balancing it out to see if there is any flaws in it that might lead her into something that's under false pretenses. It's half the reason she's gotten as far as she has.

LIKES: Beer, family, friends, strong people, and steaks.

DISLIKES: Hypocrites, planes/helicopters, magic, and spiders

RELATIONSHIPS:
People that aren't wimps, a little strange, and funny.

Tzenidaar: [Non-Participating Contestant] This is her main squeeze, the relationship is crazy as ********, but awesome. xD (Thanks, Kat.) Anyway, they are both very forward and blunt with one another. They spend a lot of..umm...quality time together, which usually ends up with lots of bruises and bite marks on their flesh. Katie is about a foot taller than him, but they are both about as muscular. They are both very eager to hurt one another, but it usually ends up with them in the bed together or up against a wall. It's definitely a very strange relationship. They are usually fighting or sleeping together.

-Loves him.
-Respects him.
-Hates him.

[x] [x]

Izette: Iz has become a quick and great friend of Katie's. The two usually get together for some fighting, but it always goes with whoever loses buys the beers. They have a healthy competitive friendship.

-Drinking buddy.
-Competitive.
-Awesome comrade that likes to cause trouble with her.

Stephen:[Non-Participating Contestant] Stephen is his real name, and that is what Katie calls him by. He was one of the first friends she made. He has a daughter, Karin, which Katie absolutely adores. Katie and Stephen often spar together.

-A good friend.
-Great with words and making her feel better.
-Sparring partner.

[x] [x]

Madison: While Katie doesn't know this bunny too well, she does know she can trust her, since Madison was there to help her when they fought.

Ebris Dhifi: [Non-Participating Contestant] A man Katie met at the Firebrand, and she would somehow become part of his HoH team, but she hates him. I can't say it enough to convey how much hate she has for him. Hates, hates, hates him. He is always grumpy, name calling, and knocking people around.

-They do a lot of arguing, name calling, and fighting.

[x]

James Black: [Non-Participating Contestant] The man that wanted Katie a part of this HoH team. He would come to her, knowing that Katie and Ebris hated one another, but somehow manage to get them on a team together. She likes James Black, for the most part, but she seems to get a long better with him when she's had some beers. He's also good at giving advice, or so she thinks, and she respects him for that. His advice given is usually what he thinks will benefit him. They are both rather sneaky about some things. He's intelligent, so he's a lot better at hiding it than her. They still manage to do a lot of arguing during HoH.

-Companion.
-Always trying to help, even if it's just for his gain.
-Lots of arguing and name calling.

[x]

Dash: [Non-Participating Contestant] A black man she met during HoH. They hate each other, and they do a lot of fighting. She knocked him by standing outside his hotel room door with a food tray that was left outside another room with leftover food. After she knocked him out she dressed him up in a two piece swimsuit with a blonde wig then tied him up to the fountain in front of the hotel for people to make fun of him. Then, another night, her, Izzy, and James got drunk and destroyed his hotel room. That would actually be most of Izzy and Katie's doing. James was just there to chat and drink with them. Katie also added hair bleach to his shampoo, which turned it blonde.

[x]


SUGGESTIONS:
Suggestions:
These are just some ideas, but I am pleased easily.

Single:
-She-Ra Pose.
-Action piece.
-Horror piece, something gory.
-A Tinkerbell inspired piece.

Couple:
-Katie and Izzy fighting with grins on their faces.

-Katie and Tzenidaar together. Not a sappy type of piece, but slightly provocative would be good, but keep it PG-13.

-Katie and Stephen (Sutiiven) with his daughter, Karin, which is 7 years old. Katie would be towering them too, since Stephen is about 5'10" and however an average 7 year old would be in height.

-Katie and Sir Reginald piece (Izzy's duck). Have Katie like pointing at the duck with an "OMGWTF that duck is talking" look.

-Katie and Madison piece with Katie staring at Madison the first time they met. She thought Madison was so adorable, and she wanted to touch her bunny ears.

-Team "Honestly, Nice Guys" group art. Have them all arguing, maybe as they are riding in Ebris' huge monster truck. It's a diesel engine Frankenjeep.

-Katie and Ebris fighting. She would be six inches taller than him, since she's seven feet tall, but they match in muscularity. He's 6'6" 310 lbs, whereas she's 7' 320 lbs. They are very close in size.

-Katie and Dash fighting or when she tied him up to the fountain in a bikini and she stood there watching him, getting a good laugh at his expense.

Moose

REFERENCES:
[x]


A Summary of their History: Moose lived in the wild, raised by a family of moose. She picked up most of their traits, which is shown by how she speaks. When she ventured off to learn English it was a whole new barrier for her to get past. She often grunts a lot during her talks, trying to verbally express what she wants or needs, but it sometimes comes out in moose speak.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Race: Albino half breed human/moose
Sex: Female
Age: 20

Eyes: Red

Hair: White and slightly fluffy.

Ears: Moose ears. Slightly large, pointed, fluffy, and positioned on top of her head.

Facial Structure Ref: Don't have any refs.

Skin: Completely white. She's albino.

Any defining scars/markings/tattoos: Her face looks much like a moose while still holding some human properties to it. She has a moose tongue too, just in case. She's albino, so her hair and skin are completely white. Her hair is kind of fluffy. Her eyes are red. She has a short, stubby moose tail. Also, she has a small antler rack on her head, and she has hooves for feet and hands.

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 180 lbs
Body Type: Slightly muscular

CLOTHING:
Barbaric looking thing, like a loin cloth and something to cover her chest, but it has to be made of leaves or something leafy. It's a moose thing. =D

I just started this character, so this is the only outfit yet. If you have your own suggestions that'd be cute for Moose then go for it. I like surprises.

PERSONALITY:
She's got a cute, yet air headed demeanor in some weird moose way. It takes her a few seconds to digest things said. She's got like a two second delay in speaking.

LIKES: Leafy greens, nice people, friends, and headlights.

DISLIKES: Guns, and cars.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Toneldren Silk: [Non-Participating Contestant] This mage has seemed to have summoned Moose to be his guardian. She thinks he is a strange human. As strange as he is she finds herself compelled to follow him around and be there for his aid. Well, he's also promised her a juicy apple upon their destination. How could she refuse?

[x]


SUGGESTIONS:

Single:
-Deer in headlights look.
-Horror piece, maybe something zombie-ish with a lot of blood.
-Anything cute, not really picky.

Couple:
-Moose and Madi in a Bambi inspired piece. Moose would be Bambi, while Madi would be Thumper.
-Moose with Toneldren Silk. Possibly have her sitting in front of him, chewing on some leafy greens, and Toneldren standing there with a dumbstruck expression on his face because he summoned an animal guardian. He didn't expect some half breed moose.

Rasilyn Lockwood

References: [Here]

A Summary of their History: Her full profile here

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION


Race: Human – Gaian Native & Durem born
Class/Occupation: Warp Seer (I’m sure this means very little to most of you xD but it’s explained below)
Sex: Female
Age: 19
Eyes: Soft blue – big and child-like
Hair: Pale blonde; somewhat long (a little longer than her shoulders) straight and usually quite neat it can either have long bangs or be all one length – sometimes parted slightly to one side and tucked behind her ear – other times it just does whatever.

Skin: Fair even pale – not entirely healthy and showing some clear signs she might actually be ill.
Any defining scars/markings/tattoos: None
Height: 5’3” or so
Weight: 110lbs give or take
Body Type: Rasilyn is on the lean side and rather meek side due to chronically poor health – she is quite the petite little thing, and has no real “muscle” at all. She is also quite small chest-wise putting her somewhere between a high-A and low-B.


CLOTHING: Rasilyn has a fondness for dressy, very feminine clothing if even somewhat ‘sophisticated’ or at least nice. It’s not uncommon at all to see her in dresses and blouse-skirt combinations, generally in a semi-Victorian Lolita style often making her look more like a little porcelain doll than anything. She prefers softer colors and gentler fabrics – colors such as lighter blues, grays, whites, even touches of brown in some cases.

Some of her trademarks include:

-A long light blue woolen coat with buttons down the front; it’s her favorite and it was a Christmas present, something for the harsh winter months and she loves it very much.

-Blue tunic top with gold trim and a wide neck/collar, split up the side to about the waist so it can be worn over skirts – should look sort of arcane-ish/somewhat fancy

-Black Mary Janes or slipper flats and white stockings


PERSONALITY: Rasilyn is extremely child-like most of the time, because of her connection to the Aethyr (all the things she’s been exposed to and dealt with have taken a toll on her already innocent mind) she’s very polite, if not particularly submissive and quick to comply, sometimes going out of her way to show her proper manners because of her more refined upbringing. She is otherwise rather pleasant in temperament, and happy, almost naively so – giving the idea that she might not really understand the very nature of the things she can do. When something makes her happy, she’s very happy – when something upsets her, she makes it known in more physical ways, and can easily be brought to tears if truly upset. A means of soothing herself even, is to sing and block out the rest of the world, sing – hum, whatever, just to offer herself some comfort or solace from whatever is bothering her. It’s possible that she acts as she does, maintains the mentality of a child in order to keep her mind from really cracking from all the exposure to a many thing unpleasant.

Special abilities: Like above, Rasilyn is a Seer – she is susceptible to visions of a most disturbing sort, sometimes in great detail and other times cryptic.

She is also quite skilled and adept in the way of Tarot, with more than just a knack for interpretation and divination; Tarot cards are typically part of a Seer’s arsenal so to speak.

Singing – at one point, Rasilyn was part of a church choir and found a great joy in music and singing so much that she often breaks into little tunes or hums when in a good mood. She’s not superstar quality but she has a sweet little voice and can at least carry a tune.


LIKES: Singing, music, snow, kind people, reading her tarot, making friends, wandering off, puzzles, mysteries, stories and hugs – she likes to give hugs to people she really feels strongly about or who are kind to her.

DISLIKES: cruelty, getting the cold shoulder, being handled roughly, shouting, bullies, pushy people,


RELATIONSHIPS
What your character thinks of the people he/she can be drawn with:

Madison: These two became fast friends after a chance encounter in the Crimson Hawk Hotel during the Heaven or Hell tournament. Madison’s ears are what caught Rasilyn’s attention and after they exchanged introductions and talked some more, she became very fond of the bunny who is a lot like her in varying ways with her innocence and kind, shy personality. So they’re much likely to be seen playing in the snow together and things like that. They’re quite cute. On some level, they’re also one in the same, what with having lost their biological family at an early age as well as both having a fondness for music – Madison with the piano and Rasilyn with her singing and music in general.

-Innocent friendship
-Kindred spirits
-Adoration/admiration

Raien: This is certainly a complicated one here – Aside from having a vision that more or less involved her, Rasilyn felt a sort of draw towards her and after getting to know her a little more through brief conversation and meeting, she formed a quick fondness for her because of Rai’s kind and very motherly ways and often snuck out of her hotel room to go visit the woman who would in turn look after her and dote on her like a little sister or daughter of sorts.

-MotherxDaughter kind of relationship
-Drawn to each other
-Lots of intrigue surrounding both of them and their mutual connection to a man named Damnatus.

[Not a participating character]
Damnatus: He saved her more or less from being killed/executed after she got roped into a ‘cult’ of sorts – he spared her life upon discovering her abilities as a Seer and realizing she could be useful to him. As of now, they have a sort of Master-student relationship or even Craftsman-tool but this is more in his eyes really, whereas, Rasilyn is eternally grateful to him for sparing her and taking responsibility of her, even if he’s just using her – she respects his superiority and skill and almost regards him as a fatherly sort of figure.

-TeacherxStudent
-FatherxDaughter like at times, if only barely
-Her life, her fate is basically in his hands

SUGGESTIONS: Again I’m not really picky and like to leave it all up to the artists based on the relationships listed! I’ll add more ideas when I think of them.

A Summary of their History: [Working on]

See journal for History WIP

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
(If you want a real person for comparison try Inara / Morena Baccarin of Firefly.

Race:

"Meta" In her original world of origin (a modern world with fantasy elements) there existed something called Metas who were simply any human or non-human with abilities and or traits that were outside of normal comprehension and achievement, capabilities and things both physical and non-physical that were far too extraordinary to be considered what the population considered "human" any longer and were thus labeled "Metas" short for Metahumans. Most if not all were Humanoid in the physical sense but were "special" either by racial origin or mutation.

"Plane touched" Mortal creatures whose ancestors were of some extra planar race.

Rai is considered a Meta in her own right because of her being able to trace her blood line back to these extra-planar beings. On top of that, she possesses unique and beyond human abilities that also make her something more than human. However because she is more "human" than plane-touched or "Meta" she identifies more with what is "normal" and passes as such in most if not all physical ways though she is for the most part neutral in her loyalties.


Class/Occupation: Owner and bartender of “Before the Dawn Tavern & Inn” [click to go to the actual commerce thread]
Sex: Female
Age: 23-24 years or so
Eyes: Color example but with less blueish green Slightly almond-shaped that are black upon first glance. They’re a dark slate color and in the right light they can catch other tints of color (earth tones such as brown or green - nothing extraordinary); overall they’re quite exotic/unique
Hair: Dark shade of brown – primarily chocolate and espresso; she’s not against dressing it up a bit with very sparse, thin streaks of warmer colors to compliment something she might be wearing – she wears it somewhat long and often parted to one side with bangs sweeping across her face.
Skin: Rai is naturally tan, her skin is a warmer shade (think Islander or Spanish tan)
Any defining scars/markings/tattoos: Raien has a single tattoo on her back and it’s fairly small.
-Just beneath her right shoulder on her back sits a barn owl with his wings spread up and open with a tree sprig clutched tightly in its little clawed feet Example ref. Just the owl and the leaf/sprig in its feet please and not so big.

Height: 5’5”
Weight: 134lbs
Body Type: Naturally slender and blessed with very feminine curves Raien maintains a very lightly toned figure, if at least enough to be considered in excellent health and tries to keep a fairly active lifestyle, though she's not quite in the realm of "athletic". She has a more ample chest but certainly not too much. [Please don’t overdo it]

CLOTHING: Rai enjoys a rather diverse wardrobe, and usually leans more towards particularly feminine clothing. She enjoys color and earth tones alike, and has a fondness for billowy skirts that move with you, almost gypsy inspired styles with a few unique pieces of jewelry here and there, bracelets, arm warmers, or even just jeans and a comfortable top. Her clothing usually reflects her personality, which is mentioned below.
[Obviously this means I love creative freedom when it comes to her outfits, and if you’re the type of person who enjoys designing outfits – remember: there’s a ‘best outfit design’ category too!]


PERSONALITY: Rai is a very pleasant person to be around what with her typically warm and friendly attitude and bright spirits. She is also quite mature and maternal and forms very strong bonds with people – her deep curiosity and kind nature often lead her to extend her social reach making it easier to approach unfamiliar people, strangers, and make quick acquaintances. While she rarely has a reason to not be happy and friendly, like any other individual she has her less than pleasurable side. This is something that generally only rears its head when someone crosses her or seriously upsets her.

As a very compassionate person, she find it easy to really care about and concern herself with her customers and if someone’s having a problem she’s sometimes inclined to offer to help out or offer consolation.

LIKES: Winter/snow, dancing, sweets, her job, reading, carnivals, being outdoors, spending quality time with a friend/or Jonathan

DISLIKES: Secrets, liars and being lied to, chauvinists, unnecessary aggression, being brushed off/not taken seriously, people who let themselves get walked all over (doormats), being used


RELATIONSHIPS
What your character thinks of the people he/she can be drawn with:

Rasilyn: Being rather maternal at times, Raien regards Rasilyn almost like a daughter or sister or something of the sort and feels rather protective over her and the day they first met, Rasilyn managed to catch Sotiris her pet owl and was surprised how the bird took to the young girl and enjoyed random visits from the girl to play with him. In regards to how she’s treated by and her relationship with the man, Damnatus, she doesn’t really trust with caring for the girl – not that he actually cares so much as babysits her.

-Adoration
-MotherxDaughter kind of relationship
-Protective
-Older “playmate”

[Not listed are more characters she can be drawn with]

Jonathan: The “real” or “original” Raien’s fiancé and long time lover. As many say, opposites attract, and this is entirely the case with Jonathan and Rai. He is drawn to her spunk, her curiosity and kindness while she adores his casual, easygoing way, and is very much fond of his simplicity. Unfortunately, a very complicated series of events lead to a pretty tragic if even painful ending of the relationship including but not limited to her death. During their relationship however, these two couldn't be more perfect for each other.

[He's ex-military so he needs to be athletic, buff but not over the top HUEG - he can either be drawn with whiteish gray hair or brown (dyed) - style should full, short but growing out and somewhat messy - gray eyes with or without specks of brown - dressed in casual clothes - or what you see in refs.]

-Deep heartfelt and trusting love
-Each others best friends
-Sweet & tender

Damnatus: Considering ‘Damnatus’ is ‘who’ Jonathan becomes after the fact (after a long distressing chain of events and phenomena that completely warped him and his mind) – this relationship is extremely complicated and hard to explain but basically – it’s VERY tense, very difficult for both parties – he’s pretty much skittish of her and tries much as he can to avoid having to get involved with her again, and she cant stand his coldness and secretive ways and tries too hard be involved with him.

[Somewhat long whitish hair that should look almost sickly and not natural - eyes stitched (if you can't draw that, just have the hood of his coat cover or shadow his face some) - frame should be sort of emaciated showing he was once really athletic but has since deteriorated - His coat is like a cross between something that used to be a long-coat and a robe with very archaic patterns down the sleeves and shoulders (blue underneath and gold weaved in) - Coat should be rather worn, almost tattered (especially the tails) - for more details see his profile on my freewebs site]

-Tragic former lovers
-Intrigue and pain
-One sided care
-Frustration and impatience

SUGGESTIONS:
[Single]
Not picky, as long as it coincides with her personality but here's some basic ideas:
-Picture of her with her owl perched on her shoulder/arm/etc.
-In her tavern/working (serving drinks or perched over the bar etc.)
-Some kind of winter picture (she loves the snow very much)

[Couple]
*With Rasilyn*
-Something cute
-Rai holding her owl Sotiris and Rasilyn feeding/petting/playing with him
-Being protective of her (something like soothing her crying or defending her etc.)

*With Damnatus*
-Anything showing the symbolism and connection between them
-Arguing like, him being cold, her being concerned but frustrated
-Can be drawn just after fighting with each other - it was heated and well yeah just long pent up feelings, the aftermath of a really awkward, very angry very hurtful argument
-Her trying to show kindness and him brushing her off/completely rejecting her
-Anything dramatic really whether it ended in tears or lots of frustration/anger


*With Jonathan*
-Simply holding hands
-Cuddling/snuggling but not over the top mushy
-Just casual and friendly, like in the middle of conversation or just having fun together.
-Separate but connected in some fashion? (be creative?)
-Snuggled up against a tree outside, at night and looking up at the stars, maybe even the Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis, idunno something romantic like that.
-Curled up and reading together, maybe one of them falling asleep or already asleep? Something sweet of the sort.
-Well she owns and works at a Pub & Inn so maybe something cute with him leaning over the bar to give her a kiss or just having a conversation and them looking at each other or being happy/laughing, etc. talking over drinks/coffee
-He's retired military, so he owns a pair of personalized dog-tags and maybe something cute with her wearing/reading them or him giving them to her to wear? Something like that.
-And lastly, just something simple, like, she's cold and he's putting his coat/hoodie on her all protective and loving like.

Zandra Ryke

References: Her gallery

A Summary of their History: [Full Profile Here]
To keep it short and simple – Zandra Ryke – or Ryke as she prefers - was born in Aekea to a pretty big family with plenty siblings to go around – she is the sister to 5 other siblings with her twin Lisselle, Oldest brother Warren, Second eldest Dorian, and her two younger brothers, Noah and Wyatt. Her father Barrett owns his own Scrap Company as well as primary job working in repairs – her mother Abigail works in Housing commission alongside long time resident and housing Manager Josie.

Instead of going into business like her parents however, Ryke followed her own path and, after some interesting trials, jumped into the business of bounty hunting. She’s been at it for about 7 or some years now and wouldn’t trade it for anything. Her ‘job’ has lead to many exciting encounters and opportunities to satisfy a thrill chaser like herself and over time she’s made many an interesting acquaintances and friends.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Race: Gaian Human – Aekean born

Class/Occupation: Bounty hunter

Sex: Female

Age: 27-28 years - born June 17th - Gemini

Eyes: Blue-green: For someone who is more of a “plain Jane” Ryke actually has really nice eyes – probably the only honestly girlish thing about her.

Hair: Red (like real redheads, her hair is more of a coppery orange color, a ginger if you would) messy and far from perfect – if even damaged in places showing she doesn’t really primp or pay special attention to her mop-top. She always has some dye colored streaks - about an inch or more starting from the bottom up on the ends of her hair; colors range from blue, to green to white; Never: pink, purple, red.

Skin: She has a decent natural tan on top of her naturally ruddy complexion – clearly uneven in places that don’t get the same exposure to the sun – she’s earned her collection of scars scrapes bruises and abrasions – nothing obscenely marring or disfiguring though and if anything they give her character – make her more of a tomboy. She has freckles around her cheeks and nose but they’re not really incredibly noticeable and only become really visible with a lot of sun exposure.

Any defining scars/markings/tattoos: None of the “battle scars” she has are really all that memorable, just plain old crap from getting torn up, scrapping and the usual her job and or just plain old fighting would earn her. No markings but she has four tattoos –

1) Left wrist - [=X=] the knot sits in the center and the lines wrap around her arm. - She got this right after HoH and more importantly, after reuniting and making up with Colin as a sort of standing for everything they’ve been through since the day they first met and her feelings for him – not just romantically but as a friend and comrade. Colin is part Irish obviously. The tattoo has more symbolism but I need to really think about it more.

2) Right wrist - [=X=] Meaning: Star/Zodiac sign for Gemini hooked around the Genogram sign for Twins; she shares this tattoo with her sister Lisselle and it means a lot to her.

3) Upper back across shoulders - [=X=] The gun stands for her love of living on the edge and the birds more or less stand for her independence, overall it stands for the freedom she gets out of it.

4) Chest - celtic cross with a thorned vine curling up and around the tail. Three words adorn the tip of the cross, one on the left arm, right arm and in center saying: Forget Me Not with the top of the cross right between her collar bones, bottom trailing down between her breasts. Very personal yes, but then again not like anyone will be seeing much of it besides her. A good while after the incident with Colin in the Leviathan Stadium fight, that shockingly lead to his death, Ryke went and got herself another tattoo, out of both memory and dedication to not only her close friend, but a man she realized she loved, just a little too late. Taking a cue from his Irish roots, the design came about through random sketching until she settled on this. [No picture yet]

Height: 5’7” give or take she’s somewhat tall for a woman or at least above average.

Weight: 150lbs or so

Body Type: She is supposed to be sort of lean, clearly athletic – not ripped or ridiculously built but she has noticeable form without it being over the top. She can hold her own in a lot of fights, if they’re physical at least, powers well, that’s entirely different. Because she is more lean cut, she also possesses somewhat little in the way of ample breasts and would place her as a Large B to Small C or somewhere around there.


CLOTHING: Generally tomboyish – or just flat out boyish Ryke goes for comfort over fashion and finds that plain shirts and cargo pants or shorts really allow her the freedom of movement while covering enough of her body to protect her from the weather and whatever else. You usually won’t find her in anything girly, frilly or terribly feminine at all (unless bribed a lot or forced)
Some of Ryke’s trademark items are more just favorite clothing options and are almost always drawn unless you have some sort of creative reason or theme that doesn't involve them.

xxxxx-Cargo pants: Pretty straight forward here, she prefers these as they’re rugged and hold up under a lot of abuse, providing both comfort and protection and come in handy what with the numerous pockets. They’re loose and baggy enough to be comfortable but not so much that they’ll fall right off of her. These are usually a big staple when she’s doing a lot of physical activity. Obviously these have been through a lot regarding their condition –

xxxxx-Blast goggles: These babies are her favorite, and they’ve seen plenty of years and lots of use – scratches, general wear and tear, you name it but they still work and as long as they do their job, who is she to give them up? When she’s not using them, they sit at the top of her head/forehead, probably the only thing besides her hair that stands out about her.

xxxxx-Green bomber jacket: The jacket originally belonged to Colin, it was one of his favorite staple items and after the incident in the stadium, it came into her possession and since then, she’s taken up wearing it - for multiple reasons.

xxxxx-Bracers: Instead of traditional gloves or the overly used terribly cliché biker gloves, Ryke wears bracers. They’re basically a long –reinforced padded leather sleeve that covers from her knuckles to about halfway up her forearm with a thin glove like covering to be worn underneath to prevent chafing, and

PERSONALITY: Ryke is an interesting one – she’s quite straight up making her a rather forward ‘don’t beat around the bush’ kind of girl. She’s even been once described as “rough and tumble” which is amusing. She curses, she drinks, she’s hardly polite, snarky, sarcastic, very aggressive and just as competitive. If she isn’t having a good time then she’ll be sure no one else around her is either. Her motto is pretty self-explanatory: “You have to enjoy life. Or you end up wasting it.”

There are, however, rare moments where she can be almost a completely different person – showing a deeper, wider range of emotions and it’s usually only a select few people who can really bring that side out of her including but not limited to: Her family, Izzy, Colin, and a couple others.

LIKES: Her job, having drinks with friends, having a good bout with someone, exchanging banter with or harassing Ebris, making trouble with Izzy and sometime her brother Noah.

DISLIKES: Smoking, drugs, most metas (power users), people who are louder and more obnoxious than her (she hates to be shown up), the D word, White Mages, being too mushy


RELATIONSHIPS
What your character thinks of the people he/she can be drawn with

Izzy: The shifter is her best friend, plain and simple. They are often times “attached” as some people like to say, and you might think THEY were the twins as opposed to she and her real sister. Ryke really likes Izzy and cares very much about her, even maybe to the point of a sisterly like bond. They are notorious for getting into trouble and going out drinking together and just having a grand old time but the best thing is – when Izzy needs a shoulder to support her in tough times, Ryke is right there, loyal and protective. She also has the capacity to be flat out honest with her when the situation calls for it.

-Best friends
-Confidants
-Partners in crime

[Not listed elsewhere are these characters she can also be drawn with if so desired]

Ebris: Her fellow bounty hunter with many more years of experience on her and despite his piss poor attitude and gruff, and perpetually grumpy behavior, she respects him and amuses herself with his company and feels that they often make a pretty damn good partner pair when it comes to working and a just as good drinking buddy.

[Ebris is a HUEG GAI (6’6” 310lbs – think Marv of Sin City) so if you can’t do HURR MANREH, muscles and generally un-attractive mean lookin’ dudes – don’t bother]
[X] – [X] – [X]

-Sort of friends
-Business partners/comrades
-Almost father-daughter’ish
-Banter/teasing

Lisselle: Her twin sister and one of her closest siblings. Lissy is a lot different than her sister, despite looking so much alike – however, they are extremely tight and though they do sometimes argue cause of their differences they are twins through and through. Lissy often takes on the big sis attitude and looks out for her twin.

[There’s only two pics of Lissy and both are in my gallery with Ryke’s refs. Do keep in mind that there are differences between them – Lissy is much more feminine but has shorter hair and slightly lighter skin]

-Twin Sisters
-Familial love

Colin: Ahh yes, the Brit/Irish punker and former merc that is the object of Ryke’s affections. They’ve been through a lot, and started out as teammates working together on an odd job and slowly but steadily grew closer until they came to a point where they were more or less – friends with deeper feelings of affection for each other and considering they both aren’t the type to dedicate themselves to a relationship and commitments they left it as it was for a while until an accident brought them closer and just as quickly put a wedge between them for a time until they mended the strained relationships. As of now, they’re an item – without limitations or tying one another down. He is also her favorite sparring partner!

[Also not a pretty boy – attractive but not Bishie]
Colin refs.:

-Affectionate but not mushy and too touchy feely
-Very close
-Competitive friends
-Excitement and


SUGGESTIONS: I’m not picky at all when it comes to poses, in fact I like it better when the artist has freedom with the pose, but I’ll toss up some simple ideas to help with inspiration.

[Single]
-Making faces or just plain being her usual wild self
-Action poses are fun – check her profile for her favorite weapon choices if you like!
-Anything showing off her “ink”

[Couple]
-Goofing off with Izzy or Noah
-Teasing Izzy or just having drinks/good time
-Twins!
-Pestering Ebris
-Something with Colin but nothing mushy and overly affectionate – if anything I prefer something casual if not friendly
-A cool idea I had once was a group piece of Ryke and Izzy or Ryke and Lissy showing off their tattoos.

The Lost Chapter In Her Life
What Madison Can Remember

Race: Human/Rabbit Crossbreed
Sex: Female

Hair: Shoulder length black hair that flips out at the ends.

Ears: Madison has a set of snow-white rabbit ears sitting on top of her head. The insides of the ears are a pale color matching her skin very much. They tend to move with her emotions such as a normal rabbit has. When Madi becomes embarrassed however, they tend to flop over her eyes making her unable to see.

Skin: Her skin is actually of a very snow white paled color due to the genetics that she had in placed in her. However, when facing winter conditions, Madison skin covers itself with white fur making her resemble a giant white rabbit.

Madison has been known to rather shy and gentle, she attempts to lead a cheery life style without a care in the world. She is also very innocent which allows her to see the good in everyone at first glance. Madison is also known to be a free spirit due to her curiosity and clueless behavior. Madison is also very down to Earth (Or should I say Gaia) and generally very accepting of everyone that she meets.

Occasionally however she will have moments of sadness when she talks about her past. Madison is also very prone to feel other people’s emotion as she has a clear understand on what they have experienced themselves. Which causes her to fall into moments of depression. However, this is still very rare for she rather cause people to smile rather than frown.

DISLIKES: Doctors, Liars, Being Alone, Her Past, and Alcohol

RELATIONSHIPS
Shin: [Non-Participating Contestant]
Madison’s sweetheart. The two of them are still at the state of “innocent” love. Shin is often seen as her knight in shining armor as he is always around to save the day. However, he is often on the road thus she barely sees him. When they are together, they are often taking trips in the park, and eating sweets.

-Chaste Love
-Knight in Shining Armor

Rasilyn Lockwood: These two girls met at the Crimson Hawk Hotel. It was here that the two of them became very close friends. The two of them are very similar when it comes to their personalities, thus they get a long rather well. The two girls enjoy talking, playing in the snow, and engaging in a variety of games.

-Child-like friendship
-Innocent
-Kindered Spirits


Maximos Lucilen Dark: [Non-Participating Contestant]

Here are some ideas, but any art is fine:

[Single]
- An Alice in Wonderland inspired piece
-A picture of Madison playing in the snow

[Couple]
-Madison and Shin baking

-Sexy Madi time with Shin. Except like shin having a heart attack (It would hilarious! Don't Deny it)
-Pajama Party with Rasilyn biggrin

[Other Notes]
-Anything that’s ridiculously adorable.
-I also enjoy art that shows Madison as a “woman” rather than the usual 12 year old that she often gets portrayed as by various artists.

Izette Prechtl

[x]

A Summary of their History:
Sum Up

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Race: Shapeshifter
Sex: Female
Age: 21

Eyes:
Left Eye Color: Blue
Right Eye Color: Violet Swirled Iris and Pupil

Hair: Short black hair. This can be drawn at a variety of different lengths, however it is no longer than her chin usually

Skin: Pale as pale can be.

Any defining scars/markings/tattoos:
Scars: Izette has a scar located all over her back in various shapes that look very much like a place where shards of glass should be. Izette also has a spot on her right ear where it is clear that her ear was reattached .

Izette's Tattoos:
Izette has actually quite a few sets of tattoos, including the set on her right hand, which is a set of black stripes, which seem to be used to cover a variety of scars rather than to be decorative. One thing that stands out is on the inside of her left wrist she has a tattoo of the Japanese symbol that reads Survivor in black ink.

On Izette’s body there are also a great deal of other tattoos, which are used to cover various scars from previous fights and what ever have you. On her left shoulder blade chameleon sits. The small of her back contains a picture of a doppelganger . Also out of a drunken adventure, Izzy had also gotten this tattoo on her right ankle.

Height: 5'5
Weight: 140 lbs.
Body Type: Izette is a fairly curvy woman, but she isn’t curvy enough to be all curve. She has just enough to be a lady.

CLOTHING:
Izette is a difficult one to spot in a crowd do to her ability, however when she is in her original state of appearance she is usually identified with her black eye patch over her eye which protects it from out side damages as well as allowing herself to blend in. This eye patch has also known to have enough of a viewing space in order to allow her to see her opponent fully.

Her hair has also been known to be rather short and spiked in a variety of places allowing it to appear much larger than it already is. Izette has a great deal of piercings and tattoos. For piercing, a small onyx chain that connects her nose stud to her earring. This young woman also enjoys having a great deal of obscure and stylish eye makeup.

Since she has been known to constantly change her clothing choices are also as unpredictable as her. However, her normal trend tends to lean towards the darker style of clothing with trench coats as well as ripped jeans and spikes.

Izette’s favorite outfit to wear though is a duck shirt that reads “Quack” on it and her long purple coat with white fur lining .

**IZETTE IS NEVER WITHOUT HER EYE PATCH**

Izette’s knives:
She is always carrying these items with her on her hip in a pouch. Each knife is very unique and has a very, interesting name.

Her knives go as follow:
-Monica
-Sarah
-Ebris Jr.
-Josie
-Betsy

PERSONALITY:
If there was one way to describe Izette, that would have to be mischievous. This girl tends to enjoy going against the rules in every way possible. She finds the best way to be easy going as well as not really caring what other people think about her on the outside.

Many of her friends tend to refer to her as a crazy copycat. Which is exactly what she chooses to do as she is often found mimicking the person she chooses to copy. Since Izette is a good mimic, she is able to copy people more easily when she takes on their form.

A possible reason for her choice of hiding beneath these personalities are due to the low self-esteem that she portrays since she does not find herself worth the light of day due to her previous life experiences. Since she is able to copy individuals, she tends to enjoy being other people rather than herself, even though she tends to put more aspects about herself in each new personality she copies, making them something completely different entirely.

So, that is Izzy in a Nutshell

LIKES: Knives, piercings, ducks, playing guitar, partying, hot dogs, alcohol, Smoking (She's practically a chain smoker these days),ZANDY, Ebris (Her Hero), tattoos, and music

DISLIKES: Rules, Stuck up people, elves, aliens, doors (especially revolving ones), bottle openers, mainstream society, and spinach.


RELATIONSHIPS

No-No Bear (Noah Ryke): [Non-Participating Contestant]
Izzy’s boy. The two of them are very similar as they are often seen causing trouble. The two of them are still very new to their relationships but they aren’t afraid of having sexy time. Since Izzy is very often found visiting the hospital due to injuries from various fights, Noah often visits her. These kids are often found causing trouble, doing something completely weird, and the usual partying.

-Playful
-Touchy-feely
-THE boy.

Zandy (Zandra Ryke): Izzy’s best friend. These two girls are never a part from another and they can be practically viewed as attached at the hip. The two of them are very much like siblings considering that they are often found arguing, drinking, and even teasing one another.

-Partner in crime
-Best friend
- "Older Sister"

Supersize (Katie): Izzy’s drinking buddy, the two of them are often caught either at the bar drinking and partying it up, beating each other up, or destroying public property.

-Drinking Buddy
-Trouble Makers
-Human Punching Bags

Reggie (Sir Reginald Ducksward The III): [Non-Participating Contestant]
Izette’s pet Mallard duck. She is often ALWAYS seen with this duck. Izette feeds this bird bread from her hotdogs and booze when she has it. Reginald is often very panicky if with anyone else, but tends to be rather calm when around his “mother”.

-Comforting (if it's possible with a duck)
-Mother/Duckling

Ebris (Ebris Dhifi): [Non-Participating Contestant]
Izette’s hero. She absolutely idolizes this man and she is often caught staring with an - 8D - face whenever he is around. Ebris often doesn’t take notice to her, even though she oallows him around like a lost puppy when he does show up.

-Admiration
-Rejected Awe
-"Hero"

SUGGESTIONS:
Here are some ideas, but any art is fine:

[Single]
-Izette shapeshifting (information about that under abilities)
-Izette and her sneaky grin. She can be covered in blood at this point.
-Izette without her eye patch and looking at her hand in though to say "Who am I?"
-Izette in a punk version of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz

[Couple]
-Izzy and Katie fighting
-Izzy and Katie at the bar, both completely injured from a fight.
-Izzy looking at Ebris completely in awe as he has a beer, or is yelling at her.
-Noah and Izzy breaking into the zoo (Saving the ducks)
-A tender loving Reginald and Izette moment
-Izette giving Ryke a peck on the cheek (Ryke not being very pleased)

[Other Notes]
-As long as Izzy looks awesome, I'm not entirely picky over it.

Bump the night away~!:

Banner freebies by Sins of an Angel
Users who attain certain increments of Bumps can win banners and or small graphics (banners, sigs etc.) Bump posts MUST be numbered in order and say "Bump" somewhere in it to count. I very much encourage users to chat a little bit in their posts when there are people around and not just mindlessly bump. If no one else is around obviously, just plain bumps are totally fine.

100 Bumps - Small banner (300x60 or some variant)

+++

+++ +++

300 Bumps - Long banner (600x90 / 500x90 or some variant)

+++

Click for more examples of these

500 Bumps - Signature block (500x200 / 400x200 or some variant)

+++

--& Nothing Twilight related
--& No fanart/anime themes please
--& Pick a color scheme, whether you want your name, your OC's name or something of the sort and a quote if you would like. A general theme helps but if you don't have a preference I'll use my best judgement.


Winners

100 Bumps: None yet

300 Bumps: None yet!

500 Bumps: None yet!


*~*

First post on every 100th page~!:

Sketchy Chibis
Yes, I am a woman of many talents. 8D *shot* Kidding, but I can do stuff other than banners and looking pretty. Lawl. Anyway, I'm willing to offer sketchy chibis drawn in Photoshop via tablet for the first poster on every 100th page (ex. 100, 200, and so on)

The post must be a non-bump and I really discourage sniping, not that I expect many people to be scrambling for my chibis anyway. HAH! Just play nice and I'll do you up something cute.

Be it an OC or Avatar, I will omit items or modify things that I don't feel I could draw very well. No cluttered avatars, and no ridiculously detailed OCs. It's a chibi, and it's very experimental and sketchy...and free. Yeah.

Samples:

[-X-] +++ [-X-]

--& Choose Monochrome (like the red one) or Flat colors (like the other sample)
--& Emotion - want a thought bubble? What'll be in it?
--& Basic expression: Do you want a :3 face or a : D face - pick a smiley that best represents it if you need to. Or leave it to my discretion
--& Again no fanart, no crazy avatars/OC - keep it simple
