READ THIS CAREFULLY:

ALL characters are from different stories except for Kuro and Yuki.
NONE of these five may be drawn in a couple picture together save for Kuro and Yuki.
Under each character post are possible partners for the characters in the couple art category.
So I don't want to see any Rose x Knoxx or Kuro x Kit or ANY pairing made of the
five characters save for Kuro x Yuki. Understood? Any questions, feel free to post.

POSSIBLE COUPLE SUBMISSIONS:
Kuro x Yuki, Rose x Bell, Rose x Lucifer, Knoxx x Jazz
You may not submit individual art for BELL, LUCIFER, & JAZZ.

[Kurooo Akiraaa]

Name: Rose Veritas
Age: 23
Hair: Black streaked with blue
Eyes: Prussian Blue
Ethnicity: Irish-Japanese
Loves: Music, guitars, black eyeliner & nail polish, clothes, jamming with his band, shopping, crosses, stars

Profile: Rose is vain, sarcastic, selfish and a lot of other things but one thing's for sure, he is very true to himself. He knows how difficult life can be, as he experienced tons of hardships from before. He is selfish in a way that if something won't benefit him or those he loves he won't bother giving his time. When he loves though, he is loyal, patient and selfless. And oh, is he hella funny. : D

BY ME: BY OTHERS:




♥ His hair is BLACK streaked with blue. Not just blue.
♥ You may draw him with his mic stand or a guitar, singing or playing onstage. Use the second outfit for concert scenes.
♥ Do NOT draw him too girly. ^__^ He's 100% seme. Don't let his pretty girl name fool you. : D
♥ His hair in front is shorter than the rest of his hair. Most of his hair is waist-length.
See the headshot for what his hair looks like in front.



LUCIFER HAWKE
Age: 21 Hair: Black Eyes: Garnet red
References: ONE, TWO, Outfit Reference
Relationship: Lucifer, or Lucy as Rose likes to call him, is the love of Rose's life. The moment they met each other, they knew it was going to be different. They are long lost half brothers and that's what makes it more exciting for them. Lucy is a beautiful man and Rose can never resist him. He's a fellow rocker, and can relate perfectly to Rose's rocker life.

♥ Lucy is property of my best friend who doesn't do Gaia. Lucy is UKE (as in the bottom).
♥ He and Rose love partying. 8D So them out clubbing or something would be awesome.
♥ They love a good laugh, but they have a lot of cheesy moments, too. Any cheesy pose would be nice.
♥ USE THE OUTFIT REFERENCE. You may or may not add the print on his top.
♥ Do NOT draw Lucifer for an individual entry!


BELL KREUZ
Age: 26 Hair: Blonde Eyes: Lime green
References: ONE, TWO, THREE
Relationship: Bell is Rose's best friend. They grew up together in an orphanage run by nuns. As they grew, they somehow began to look at each other differently. Bell fell in love with Rose, but Rose felt Bell was too good for him. It never developed into anything deeper than an extremely close friendship.

♥ You may draw Bell with his long long hair, or his short hair in reference three.
♥ The silver-haired guy Bell is with in reference three is his new lover, Maddox, who you will NOT be drawing.
♥ Long-haired Bell would have more of an attached look to Rose, since this is from when Bell was still in love with him.
♥ Short-haired Bell wouldn't look as romantic, since he knows they are both just friends now.
♥ Don't hold back on the affection between Rose and Bell cause they were very touchy, sweet and happy best friends. 8D
♥ Do NOT draw Bell for an individual entry!



You may draw Rose in any of these outfits. Do NOT invent your own!
You may however accessorize him some more. He wears black nailpolish, black eyeliner, silver crosses and stars.

[Kurooo Akiraaa]

Name: Knoxx Monroe
Age: 22
Hair: Black
Eyes: Greyish Green
Ethnicity: Russian American
Loves: Photography, hoodies, comic books, Spiderman, web design

Personality: Knoxx finds it a bit difficult to express himself. He'd rather be quiet in a corner than socialize at a party. He rarely smiles. His face is always deadpan and expressionless, no matter what he's really feeling. He also loves taking random snapshots of people and places. He almost always has his camera with him. And he's a hardcore Spiderman fan. xD

BY ME: BY OTHERS:



♥ You may or may not draw his camera. If you feel like being extra detailed, draw him with a Canon EOS 400D. xD
♥ One of his eyes is always covered.
♥ NEVER DRAW HIM SMILING. XD (Except with Jazz)
♥ Don't draw him with a huge frown either, he's usually expressionless.
♥ DO NOT DRAW HIM WITH SPIDERMAN STUFF! 8D



JAZZ FIRENZE
Age: 19 Hair: Violet Eyes: Gold
References: ONE, TWO, Pants Reference
Relationship: Jazz is a belly dancing model, and Knoxx is a Spiderman-geek photographer. They make one heck of a weird couple but that doesn't bother them, they're in love and that's all that matters. Knoxx saved Jazz from posing for a not-so-wholesome publication one day, and that changed everything. Also Jazz has a sad family life, they don't accept him for how he turned out to be. When his family finally kicked him out of the house, Knoxx was there to save him. They've been living together ever since.

♥ Jazz is property of my best friend who doesn't do Gaia.
♥ I'd love to see a photographer-model scene, Jazz posing lovingly and Knoxx smiling at him from behind the camera or something... XD
♥ USE THE OUTFIT FROM REFERENCE ONE. USE THE PANTS FROM THE PANTS REF.
♥ Do NOT draw Jazz for an individual entry!




As of now this is the only outfit I have for Knoxx. Do NOT invent your own!
Don't forget his X necklace, either.

[Kurooo Akiraaa]

Name: Kuro Akira
Age: 18-21
Hair: Jet black
Eyes: Royal Blue
Ethnicity: Japanese-German
Loves: Guitars, black, rock music, basketball, skulls, blood, horror flicks, anything horror-related, Yuki (but that's a secret, okay? XD)

Personality: Unless he knows someone well, Kuro is stingy, snobby and stuck up to people. A smile is rarely found on this rocker's face. He doesn't let anyone mess with him. He's an expert at glaring, and can scare people away with just that. xD His relationship with Yuki's a bit complicated. He can't get enough of Yuki, but he won't admit he's in love. He doesn't want anyone to know about their relationship. He acts as if he doesn't care, but deep down.. he's most worried about losing his love. 8D Yes. He's stubborn, I know. <3

BY ME: BY OTHERS:



♥ Kuro does NOT smile! : D Draw him looking angry/dead/emotionless/pissed. (Unless he's with Yuki, but I don't want any bright happy sparkly shiny smiling!)
♥ I'd love to see him with a bunch of horror stuff... (skulls especially!)



SEE YUKI HANAZONO

♥ Kuro and Yuki are crazy in love with each other, but the stubborn Kuro refuses to admit it.
Go ahead and draw it looking like a one-sided love.
♥ The first gift Kuro gave Yuki was a white teddy bear. There's a parody comic of it here.
♥ Kuro doesn't want anyone to know about their relationship so they can only see each other
when no one else is around. @3@



You may use either of these two outfits for Kuro. Do NOT design your own!

[Kurooo Akiraaa]

Name: Yuki Hanazono
Age: 18-21
Hair: Silvery White
Eyes: Baby Blue
Ethnicity: Japanese
Loves: Basketball, baking, cleaning, reading and writing poetry, gardening, sweet things, Kuro 8D

Personality: Yuki is a total sweetheart. He's the last person people would know to get angry. He's a softie prettyboy but he's really quite athletic. He's also totally optimistic. People find it hard to be glum when Yuki's around, cause he just shines. 8D With Kuro, it was love at first sight. Kuro was everything Yuki wasn't. Yuki loves him more than anything else, and so much that he allows himself to be used to Kuro's liking.

BY ME: BY OTHERS:



♥ You may or may not add his blue eye makeup. xD
♥ Make Yuki as girly as you want. 8D
♥ Go ahead and draw him with a basketball. XD



SEE KURO AKIRA

♥ Kuro and Yuki are crazy in love with each other, but the stubborn Kuro refuses to admit it.
Go ahead and draw it looking like a one-sided love.
♥ The first gift Kuro gave Yuki was a white teddy bear. There's a parody comic of it here.
♥ Kuro doesn't want anyone to know about their relationship so they can only see each other

You may use either of these two outfits for Yuki. Do NOT design your own!

[Kurooo Akiraaa]

Name: Kitara "Kit" Kyohaku
Age: 19 in appearance
Hair: Black
Eyes: Gold
Ethnicity: Japanese
Loves: Video games, animals, his vampire 'brothers', his neechan, comic books, cats, sweets

Personality: Kit is a carefree, childlike person. He's a sweet vampire whose animal form is a cat instead of a bat. ^^ He's very lovable and isn't afraid to trust people right away. He loves cuddling and hugging people. Unlike his three vampire 'brothers', he adores humans and gets heartbroken when they seem to be afraid of him.

BY ME: BY OTHERS:



♥ I'd love it if you drew him with his black cat ears and tail. ^^
♥ Don't change anything on his outfit. D:
♥ He's a vampire so NO TANS. XD
♥ You're free to draw him cuddling a black kitten. x3
♥ I'd love to see Kit surrounded by black cats. XD



No couple art partners for Kit.




This is the only outfit I have for Kit as of now. Do NOT design your own!

[Kurooo Akiraaa]
