CHARACTERS


User Image


Name: Tornado "Tul" Steel
Gender: Technically doesn't have one, but chooses to be male
Species: Demon
Race: Caucasian
Age: 23
Height: 5'9
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Profession: Magician (Entertainer)
Celebrity Reference: Adam Lambert
Description: Normally his eyes are violet and his hair is black, but when he gets REALLY angry, his eyes may appear to be red and his hair may appear to be purple. He has a mischevious nature, but nothing that will get him in serious trouble. In order to avoid being bound to service in hell, he is celibate. His biggest goal is to avoid hell altogether and eventually be accepted into heaven. He meets Chimu and Azul on his escape route through dimensional portals, as he is being chased by another demon.
Little Details: Tul is right handed. He wears a black leather choker that looks like a belt most of the time. More often than not, the sleeves of his dress shirt are rolled up. Tul can sing and dance. He also has the ability to not just throw his voice, but force someone else to speak in it. This leaves him completely mute, however, until he reclaims his voice.
Cannon Relationship: None!
AzulXTul- How It Works: This might actually be the hardest pair to make work right, because Azul would have to be agressive and persistent about it. If you CAN figure out to a way to make it work, this would be a soft and sweet relationship. Most likely, any start to it involves alcohol. Azul would be the seme and Tul would be the uke.
ChimuXTul- How It Works: It doesn't take much to make this one work. Chimu becomes obsessive about things pretty easily and it's not hard to imagine him taking his relationship with Tul further than protector/protectee. This relationship would be a very physical one with little tenderness. The start for this one would be Chimu forcing himself on Tul. Chimu would be the seme and Tul would be the uke.

Name: Azul
Gender: Male
Species: Elf
Race: Caucasian
Age: 28
Height: 6'2
Alignment: Lawful Good
Profession: Guard Captain, Archer
Celebrity Reference: Orlando Bloom
Description: The blue stripes in his hair are optional, as they were dyed there by his boyfriend, who he doesn't meet until after hopping dimensions. An unsung hero of his kingdom, he stopped an attempt to overthrow the royal family made by Chimu and a woman who WAS imprisoned for previous crimes. He's of low peasant birth, but has clawed up the ranks as far as he can go without marrying nobility. He was bestfriends with Chimu's father, who arrange for him to marry a paladin of extremely high noble birth. Chimu, however, purposefully ruins this when she falls for him. As a result, Azul is bound and determined that Chimu remain serving his sentence.
Little Details: When he was younger, Azul was very pale with freckles. He's right handed. He works hard to keep in shape. He may have a tattoo of the symbol "sigma" on his right shoulder if he's being drawn after meeting his boyfriend. Azul can sing well enough and dance somewhat, he's not great at either. He discovers he has an uncanny ability to pick up a musical instrument and learn to play it in a relatively short amount of time.
Cannon Relationship: Daniel Oliver "Verde" Peacevale
ChimuXAzul - How It Works: This relationship showcases the Tsundere of the contest- and Azul doesn't even have to be drunk to get involved in it! XD Like any relationship with Chimu, it'd likely be very physical. Chimu would initiate the relationship, likely by channeling Azul's rage over something into something passionate. Chimu would be the seme, Azul would be the uke.
AzulXTul- How It Works: This might actually be the hardest pair to make work right, because Azul would have to be agressive and persistent about it. If you CAN figure out to a way to make it work, this would be a soft and sweet relationship. Most likely, any start to it involves alcohol. Azul would be the seme and Tul would be the uke.

Name: Chimu
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Race: Asian
Age: 19
Height: 5'4
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Profession: Magician (Advisor)
Celebrity Reference: Gackt
Description: He may be short, but don't underestimate him. He has a thing for redheads and cougars, making it easy for older redhaired women to seduce him and bend him to their will. This is exactly what went on when the whole plot to overthrow the monarchy happened. He was sentenced to, basically, house arrest for the rest of his life for the crimes of attempted regicide and patricide. When Tul comes through on the run, Chimu follows him to freedom.
Little Details: Chimu is left handed. He has a scar on his right shoulder from an arrow piercing it and both of his hands have burn scars. Chimu is completely tone deaf, but he's a masterful dancer. He's an expert in polearms, especially spears.
Cannon Relationship: Amelia Wright
ChimuXAzul - How It Works: This relationship showcases the Tsundere of the contest- and Azul doesn't even have to be drunk to get involved in it! XD Like any relationship with Chimu, it'd likely be very physical. Chimu would initiate the relationship, likely by channeling Azul's rage over something into something passionate.

NOTES ON THE WORLDS


The World of Chimu and Azul: In this world, magic is prominent and associated with a person's name. As such, no one is ever reffered to by their name. Chimu calls Azul "Archer" and Azul calls Chimu "Magician's Son" first and later "Magician". Titles and professions are normally inherited. Magic associated with a name builds up with a person's deeds, becoming more powerful and focused the more they do. As a child, a person can be called by their name as there's no association. Chimu's name invokes extremely destructive fire while Azul's name invokes a strength boost. Tul admits that no one wants to try his name in this world. This world is a medieval kingdom ruled by an elven child prince.

The World of Tul: Demons and mythological monsters are common place in Tul's world, but they're hidden among normal human society. Malignant monsters are hunted down by an elite group of Slayers working secretly out of New York. Demons, however, are not one of the creatures they're charged to hunt. However, there's no such thing as a demi-demon, demi-angel, or demi-monster. You either are or you aren't. As such, Tul, who has a demon father and a human mother, is a demon while his sister is human. This world is modern, with Tul living in the US.

So... How Do They Meet?: Tul has the ability to hop through different dimensions, landing him in Chimu and Azul's world. Once he gets there, Chimu basically jailbreaks and runs into him while trying to escape. Tul helps Chimu escape by jumping back into his own dimension, but Azul manages to follow them through.It's in Tul's world, where Azul and Chimu are completely out of their element, that the three of them get to know each other. Azul's boyfriend lives in New York in Tul's world and they meet while he's stranded chasing Chimu. Azul decides to stay in Tul's world. Tul and Chimu jump on after a few weeks to another world altogether.

The World of the Christopher Columbus: This world is actually a futuristic world set in 3492, the 2000 year anniversary of Christopher Columbus's voyage. A luxury starship themed in steampunk (named "The Christopher Columbus" wink is taking a leisurely one year cruise for very rich passengers... And this is where Tul and Chimu end up when they make a jump together from Tul's world. Tul becomes one of the ship's entertainers, running a magic show while Chimu stands gaurd for him against the demons that are chasing him. Both Chimu and Tul's pictured outfits are from this dimension.

Q: 'Original Media'? What does THAT mean?
A: This means what art form you choose to enter with. Textiles (such as sewn items), sculptures, and written entries are definitely accepted as well as the traditional drawn entries.

Q: What IS Tsundere?
A: Wikipedia:Tsundere is a Japanese character development process that describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing their warm side over time. The word is derived from the terms Tsun Tsun (ツンツン), meaning to turn away in disgust, and Dere Dere (デレデレ) meaning to become 'lovey dovey'.

A: Azul. biggrin Chimu is Yandere, Tul is Dandere.

Q: WTH are Yandere and Dandere?!
A: Wikipedia: Dandere (ダンデルェ) When a character who is usually asocial eventually changes to display their sweet and loving side. Yandere (ヤンデレ) a Japanese term for a person who is initially very loving and gentle to someone before their devotion becomes destructive in nature, often through violence.

I need some crack pairing so bad. emotion_drool But I can't decide what I like best out of the options. I'm leaning toward some Chimu/Azul... The true Tsundere of Tsundere and Lightning. <3
