The characters in this post are Exiled programs that live within The Matrix Universe



Character's Setting: The Matrix Universe
Name: Castore AKA Miss Heth
Race: Program
Age: Exact age unknown,Third version Matrix, Appears early 20's
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Auburn. (cut in an A-line bob).
Height: 5'8
Usual Outfits: See Referrences in Thread
More References

Originals Clothes guidelines and other clothing notes: Always wears glasses and a locket tied to a black ribbon choker, given to her by Heth. Usually wears gloves to keep her hands covered when in public settings. Almost always has a cigarette either lit and nearby, in her mouth, or in her hand. Prefers the colours white, black, or blue. Castore dresses in low back shirts (to allow use of her wings at a moments notice) but is (generally) fairly conservatively dressed. Some sexiness in clothing is more than allowed, but skankiness (Thongs sticking out of pants anyone?) would break the character's image. Castore also doesn't wear skirts/dresses often, though she will occasionally if skirt/dress is past knee length. Weaponry: Castore carries a Baby Desert Eagle in her white messenger bag.

Appearance: A fairly average looking woman, she has no overly remarkable features. Physically, she's slightly more bottom heavy than top. Exact measurements would be 34(B cup)-28-42 if that helps give you an idea. Castore has a tattoo on either shoulder-blade no more than three inches high and five wide. They are shaped like cherebic wings.These tattoos turn into wings, but Castore must activate a small portion of code to force her wings out. This happens by the skin near the tattoos twisting and stretching about into a new formation (Much like when an Agent takes over a human being in the film.) Her actual wings are no more than double the size of her tattoos (10 wide/long x6 in height at the most). When not in use, these wings convert back to their tattoo form, to keep them safe from someone who would want to remove them. As an interesting side note, Castore is asexual.

Personality:Castore is an odd mixture of conflicting personality traits, perhaps fittingly, since she is named after one of the Gemini twins. She can be quite sagely and well-versed when she wants to be, but quite often she speaks bluntly, not one for 'beating around the bush' as it were. Unlike Heth, she lacks even an outward confidence in herself and her abilities. Her inability to do domestic tasks such as cooking vexes her quite a bit. Even with her lack of confidence, Castore is (generally) cheerful. Castore is dependent upon Heth, and though she does not like to make it known to anyone, it's quite obvious.

Having few responsibilities while she was in service of the system, Castore has seen a lot of movies and television, and often makes pop culture references. She enjoys music quite a bit, and bathes more often than is sane for a program. Castore is also a chain smoker. She can be found without a cigarette, but it’s rare. Castore is fond of sweets such as candy (especially hard candy) but Heth doesn't allow her to indulge her sweet-tooth often, not wanting to be personally responsible for the after effects. From most to least, he is comfortable with: Heth,Niamh,Isis,Seth,Loki

It has been recently discovered that the Castore program is a replacement for the Oracle,but that she is not 'ready' for several decades yet.

Expressions:Castore has a wide variety of emotions and expressions all of which are genuine, though her most notable is her grin, which is somewhat childish and very catlike.

Character's Setting: The Matrix Universe
Name: (Agent) Heth AKA Polydeuces (and sometimes) AKA The Priest,/AKA Onmyouji
Race: Program
Age: Exact age unknown,Third version Matrix,Appears early 30's
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Auburn. (Cut short,parted on the left, and combed back, very professional looking).
Height: 6'6
More References
Originals Clothes guidelines and other clothing notes:He is quite particular about his image. He’s the type to mess with his hair if even a few strands fall out of line, or straighten his tie if it strays a quarter inch out of alignment. He generally ONLY wears his "usual outfits"; he's not into casual dress or shopping. However, if you really want to do a picture that has nothing to do with any of the outfits linked above, keep these guidelines in mind: Heth always wears his hair parted on the left and combed back, and always wears 'formal' attire such as suits. The lowest on scale Heth would go is "semi-casual" (no Modern or cyber goth/rave/plaid/etc! Classic gothic {Suits,top hats, canes ETC} acceptable.) His Priest garb is Buddhist, not Christian. Weaponry: Heth always carries his Desert Eagle (Kept in a side holster on his right side, since he is left handed), and in his priest robes, carries a silver plated bladed Tessen (Japanese war fan) in his sleeve pockets. Neither of these weapons are visible unless Heth makes them so (Pulls them out or removes his suit jacket).

Appearance: Heth looks similar to Castore, though his features are much more masculine than hers are. After his rather unusual height, people tend to notice three other things about him: His nose, weight, and stare. Heth's nose is quite beakish. Heth is quite thin which is unusual for an ex-agent program. Heth has light to no muscle tone, which is probably for the better as if he did he would likely look like a walking skeleton. His fingers are quite spindly, and his legs gangly, with knobby knees. Heth has a very distinctive look about his eyes. He rarely smiles (reserving the use of such for only Castore and a selective few),preferring to keep his expression blank when he is 'relaxed'. His eyes give people the feeling that hes staring through them, and not at them, as if he looking for something on or in their personage, which proves to creep more than just a few people out. Heth has very deep set/aged eyes, which cause him to have light wrinkling between his nose and eyes shown here. Heth is also asexual.

Personality:Heth, like Castore, has several 'conflicting' personality traits. Being a former Agent leaves him with some less-than-pleasant mannerisms, such as sarcasm and aloofness. He appears confident, but really isn't. This false confidence is based on his knowledge. Can panic in unfamiliar situations,but even Heth's 'panic' state is low key and mostly internal. This state of panic has manifested itself more severely in situations of extreme emotional stress, leading to breakdowns. Castore has been the only one to witness these breakdowns. Though intelligent, his former ‘profession’ has left him quite naive about many aspects of life; especially those related to social interaction. He craves acceptance (tolerance,not friendship), but fears becoming dependent. His odd collection of mannerisms have caused him to become eccentric and have some very odd behavior around people he is comfortable with. From most to least, he is comfortable with: Castore,Niamh,Isis,Seth,Loki

Secretly enjoys dancing, and although he enjoys music, his lack of musical-experience leaves 'something to be desired' to his tastes. Likes to read, mostly non-fiction. Also has a taste for good food, which has earned him the nickname "Greedy Monkey" from Castore (though he has perfect table manners), one of the nicer nicknames she's given him. Occasionally smokes a pipe ( click here for example ) or cigarettes. Keeps a pet rat named Lovelace whom he adores.

Until recently, Heth spent most of his time in his study reading, seeking ‘answers'. His answers came to him in an unexpected form,informing him that his reason for feeling out of place was that he is. He was not originally an agent, but a guardian program for Castore.

Expressions:Because of his lack of overly expressive emotions, Heth often wears these expressions: Blank face (most common), A look of disdain or boredom(second), A frown (third most common), A sly smirk (he knows what you don't want him to. ), A false polite smile, a very charismatic grin (when hes using his powers of persuasion.Think:Ewan McGregor), and last and least often: His genuine smile, a large dopey grin.

Soundtrack:click here to hear it!


Relationship between the Heths:
Castore and Heth's relationship can best be described as "love/hate". Heth and Castore are a duality program, or two pieces/programs designed to counterbalance one another. While they have many similar traits, they also have many opposite ones that grate on each others nerves. They are not prone to public displays of affection, and it is not readily apparent to an outside viewer that they are anything more than friends. They often bicker like an old married couple. Mentally, Heth has placed Castore on a pedestal (unwillingly on her part) and refers to her as his "mistress", the old term for the female head of a household. He often does things that irritate her 'for her own good'. Sometimes he just irritates her to amuse himself.

Romantically, their relationship is best described as "storge love" (friendship that developed into love). Due to this, it is out of character for them to be pawing at one another like cats in heat, and it is best to take a 'sweeter' approach method if you decide to draw an image which displays them in a romantic situation. Heth acts very much like a shy little boy who's got his first crush around Castore. Castore, being similarly shy, is not overtly sexual or blatant in her flirtations.



Due to her size, Lovelace is not eligible for prizes by herself. Sorry!

Age: Unknown (unstated)
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Snow White
Height: 2'7
Appearance: Tiny and cute as a button. Despite her white hair, Astalyn has a very youthful face. Her ears stick out rather far, and she has two peircings in the same spot on both of them. Her hair is tied up Leia-style in dual buns on the sides of her hair, with silver ribbons looped into them. Keep in mind, gnomes only have four fingers! (click here for example)

Personality: Spunky and giggly, Astalyn is a little ball of energy. She can however, be obstinant and stubborn when she's not getting her way. She doesn't like manual labour or basically anything that might 'get her hands dirty', leaving that work to Tyrygosa. Also, an insult to the gnomish race gets you a headbutt to your unmentionables.

Skin colour: Snow White
Hair Color: Black
Height: 7'3

Personality:
Sidachi: Sidachi is the brasher of the two in. Quiet and reserved, she is a champion of the light to the fullest extent. She has extreme patience, but it will run out eventually.
Yadachi: Yadachi is the sweeter of the two sisters. She loves nature and is quite in tune with the spirits.

Character's Setting: The World of Warcraft, AKA Azeroth
Name: Tyrygosa
Race: Night Elf
Class: Hunter
Eye Color: Bright Blue (cuz they glow with holy light, duh!)
Hair Color: Light blue
Height: 6'9
Appearance: Tyrygosa has smooth long light blue hair, and glowing light blue eyes to match (A standard of Night Elves). She has none of the Night Elf facial markings so common in Night Elves meant to determine ones house, suggesting she is not one of their kind. The "Gosa" in "Tyrygosa" is a title for female blue dragons, hinting that Tyrygosa is not a night elf at all, but a dragon in humanoid form.

Personality: Calm and reserved, Tyrygosa is a glaring opposite to her hunting partner Astalyn. Astalyn enjoys the city, Tyrygosa enjoys the outdoors. Astalyn is a loud annoying little prat at times, Tyrygosa is usually always quiet. It's hard to tell why they are friends really.
