MistressRosalyn (Ros) and I are requesting art of our characters, Jack & Ky. These are two unique characters that require some attention to detail, so we ask that our artists read through this carefully, and in return we'll try to keep this as brief as possible and pay you well.
Jack
A Mobster Necromancer with a Dangerous Personality
- Appearance
Jack stands at 5'8 with a thin, unshapely body. Her feminine qualities are diminished, rendering her practically flatchested and giving her the perception of appearing male. On closer inspection, one could see the curves on her jawline, the absence of broad shoulders, etc, but few notice this about her. Her clothing makes up for what she cannot do physically. She has a medium hair length for a male, coming roughly an inch lower then her jaw line. It's raven black and covers her left eye. Her eyes are blood red color.
Jack wears a red suit jacket over a white button down shirt. The red jacket comes longer down in the back, resembling more of a trench coat in length. She also wears a solid black tie. She wears dress shoes and pants that are both black as well. A fedora adores her head and pulled low over her face casting it in shadow.
NOTE!: It is actually preferable that the artist draw a simple fedora for Jack rather than the fancy hat she's wearing on her avi. Thanks!

Personality
Jack is sarcastic, but coy, a deadly combination. She's highly manipulative, knowing just how to phrase things to get what she wants. Her weapon is mostly her words, she can make the bravest of men shudder, and terrify people with vast imagery that can make your hair stand on end. She's practically fearless, for she does not fear death per say, yet her right to survive is to enjoy being able to be free, free of rules, constraints and morals.
Jack's mannerism are smooth, well posed, even if the words have a bit of "slang" thrown in. She has devloped this from her time in the mob, knowing that words have as much weight as your actions sometimes. She always seems to process that "mysterious" male persona about her, many people even in the close circles of the mobs she's been in still believe her to be male. This persona has also lead her to attract other females as well.
Jack's view on people's importance is usually calculated by how much they are worth being alive. If she think you are worthless she is likely to kill you, but on the flip side she'd go against orders to have you killed if you were worth more alive than dead to her. Speaking of going against orders, Jack's loyalty is usually based on the intelligence of leader or the person bossing her around. The minute you pull a stupid move or issue something based on emotion or derangement or other matters of "idiotic" conclusion drawing, she'll do as she wants. Yet her loyalty to those she believes in can be rather strong.

Ky
A Supehero Posing as a High-Ranked Mobster Who MIGHT Be in over Her Head.
- Appearance
Ky is all-around average, standing at 5'3", with a not-too-thin figure and a b-cup top. Although she's numerically average, she never dresses as such. Up until her recent rise into mob-culture, Ky could never be caught without one of her many capes--in fact, she actually started out wearing said capes into her dirty-handed job.
Now though, Ky is waist deep in her undercover hero work, and has decided to dress the part. She keeps her hair as it was--short (ear-length toward the front, while the back graces the bottom of her neck) and black; some might call it a bit wispy. She wears a purple, pin-striped vest over a red, long-sleeved shirt and red tie to match. Her hands are covered by a pair of black gloves to erase her tracks. She still maintains her girly touch by wearing a sort, crimson skirt over semi-sheer red tights and some heeled black boots. She always has on her a pistol kept in a belt, which she prefers not to use, or, if she's prepared to battle, she'll have her pitchfork on her instead. She wears a bit more than a "touch" of red makeup around and under her green eyes, just to top off the look.

Personality
Competitive and headstrong, Ky is passionate about her convictions, which just might be how she manages to make it so far, despite the fact that she usually doesn't know what she's doing and makes it up as she goes along. She hates losing more than anything else, and is prone to beating herself up about anything she messes up. And in spite of her dedication to facing the dangerous, she has an innocence and sense of childlike wonder to her that seems to contradict this entirely. It's almost as though ignorance is always bliss to this woman, and somehow, with her optimistic outlook and her head-first manner of jumping into danger, she survives the most precarious of situations. Leaving all to wonder: is it luck? And if so, when will it run out?
Her attraction to people seems to be toward anyone mysterious, intimidating, or threatening to her. (Not to mention, she'll stumble over anyone she finds to be very physically attractive, as well.) She has the misfortune of being attracted to those who challenge her, and thus her attraction to people such as Jack. She's open to either gender, with a particular fascination with females. Because she hates to lose though, she seems to treat love as a game at times, and likes to flirt her way into getting the other person to chase her instead of the other way around. This doesn't usually work, but because of who she's into, it's probably for the best.

As a "Couple"
And the quotation marks are DEFINITELY there for a reason.
- The Dynamic
Jack and Ky's relationship is one of strained emotions. They never admit that they might be lusting for the other, and they force this feeling deep in one another, fueling the fire that they both throw at each other. Jack knows her male persona revolves around getting people into predicaments like these, using her words and body language to make someone submit to her will. Ky on the other hand is a very strong person, devoted to her beliefs and dedicated to her missions. They both come to a stalemate more often then not, neither one wanting to admit to the other being right, even if they think they are.
As they stand now, whenever the two see one another, they throw words at one another like daggers, whilst still somehow managing to throw in hints at their attraction towards one another--usually by getting into the other's personal space, even while they continue to insult or threaten the person. They are almost literally always at one another's throats, and because neither party is willing to give an inch, they only add onto their tension without ever resolving anything.
While Jack and Ky might be somewhat attracted to one another, they for the love of God would never be in a relationship. It would never work. Jack's whole life is making people want her, not fighting for it. Ky is too strong headed for her. They would only fight, and Jack would eventually kill her. (No lie, her corpse would be more useful to Jack at that point.) Likewise, Ky would constantly be living conflicted with the nature of the person she'd be with, versus how that looks with her being a heroine. She would be addicted to the game they'd already been playing, and thus still seek to have their squabbles, which is hardly healthy for a relationship. As mentioned before, she would only be getting herself killed, if she didn't have the smarts to leave before that happened.

The Scene (To be Drawn)
For whatever reason, Jack has (seemingly randomly) chosen to yank Ky close to her, with one arm around the hero's waist. With her other hand, Jack has placed one finger under Ky's chin, hooking her in place. She'd wears a sinister expression, and probably be hovering over her Ky, and waiting eagerly for her move. The hope--what Jack banking on--is for Ky to blindly follow that human instinct to procreate before her mind catches up to her body.
The heroine seems to be only slightly more strong-willed than that. Having been the one to fluster Jack most often, she wasn't expecting this in the slightest, and the shock, unfortunately for her, is well-written on her face. The heroine clearly hesitates, with both of her hands curled (only slightly) just an inch or two away from the Necromancer's chest. So badly does she want to fall into Jack, and let her hold her. But she can't. This is wrong, and... totally backwards! Ky should be making Jack feel this way--not the other way around.
Note!: The important things to understand about this scene are the expressions and the hesitance that Ky's going to have. This image should NOT be romantic, and even if you change the pose some, Ky's body should still reflect that she was going to but then stopped herself. I've chosen the pose that I think would have happened most instinctively, and Ros chose what Jack would do based on her more forceful personality. I would ask that you keep what Ros requested that Jack be doing as close to the text as possible, but invite you to play around some with Ky. We recognize that this is a bit specific, but welcome you to put your own touch into the piece. We also thank you for taking the time to read this, and hope you both accept and enjoy our request!
