Welcome to Gaia! ::

PROFILES:


Name: Crystal
Age: Appears to be 21. Real age? No real info.
Gender: Female
Height: 7’00
Weight: 200 Pounds
Appearance: An ebony (brown skin color, or African American if you need a location) skinned women that stands at an astounding seven feet. She is bald, and has no hair anywhere on her body, public or otherwise. She has an eyepatch over her right eye that has a diamond-shaped crystal embedded into it. Her one good eye, her left eye, changes colors depending on the shade. If she’s in the sunlight, it’s a completely dark black. If she’s in the shade or it’s night, her eye is a milky white. She has no pupil or iris, so her eye is one plain color. Her eye is actually a guard for a small machine inside, a small camera that displays an image to her right eye. It has multiple options, some of which she herself has not discovered yet. The eye moves into her upper skin above her left eye, so it is unnoticeable except for the fact that the camera is out. Her regular eye is a bright blue color.
Clothing: She regularly wears a pair of Forest-Camo long cargo-jean pants, an Ice (or snow, or blizzard)-Camo long sleeve shirt and a Desert-Camo vest. The pants and the vest have many, many pockets located on almost every surface, each one slightly different from another. Some have buttons, others have zippers, some have both, some have neither, and some even have pockets WITHIN the pockets. Her shoes are plain steel-toe boots, with the metal on the outside, always buffered to an extremely high shine.
Personality: Usually silent, rarely making so much as a cough or a sneeze. She does not like talking except when she points out the flaws of the people she faces, or if she muses about life and death. She smokes, although she doesn’t do it if other people don’t want her to. She is capable of laughing, smiling and being friendly, although she is usually caught off-guard when that happens. She is also gay, which relates quite well to her back-story…
History: Will go into detail later…
Notes: She cannot die. She has tried many times, over the uncounted amount of time she’s existed, but she has never succeeded. She seeks for a way to die, usually via whatever means necessary.
Pictures of her: (NOTE: I used to want pink lips on her. Now, not so much. This was AFTER Goggles did this, though, so it's fine. Also, she has no iris or pupil, so that little white shouldn't be there. Of course, I'm nitpicking at free artwork, so I'm a little bit of a b*****d.)
(NOTE: The diamond-shaped crystal should be in the center, and should be about two times larger. Also, I'm still a b*****d!)

===================

Name: Miracle
Age: None known
Height: 6’0
Appearance: A skeleton, covered in bloody bandages from head to toe, multiple layers. He is constantly bleeding, unable to stop, and he must change these bandages constantly. The bandages cover everything except his eye sockets, the area between the fingers and toes, the mouth and the nose. Imagine it more as a second layer of the skeleton instead of a wrapping.
Weight: Maybe around 250 pounds?
Clothing: A plain white hoodie and black jeans. The hoodie has long sleeves and a large hood to cover his face, while he keeps his arms and hands inside his sleeves due to their length. It also has no zipper. His jeans are long and black, and they contain no pockets. The pants are long enough to hide his legs, and slightly drag along the ground. He sometimes trips on them. He wears no shoes or socks.
Personality: Completely silent and unable to speak, he follows Crystal as she travels the world. He has many different tasks to perform, but he is currently only tailing Crystal. She has learned to ignore him, but he refuses to stop following, no matter where she goes or what she does. He fights with a loose, breakdance-ish style.
History: Miracle is what some people may consider God. He is relentless, unkillable and can do things most people would never ever dare to guess. It is highly likely that he was a being of significant importance before he began following Crystal, but he has followed her for so long, no one is certain anymore.
Notes: He helps some and hurts others. Those who are observant may call him a ‘balancer:’ one who keeps everything in check and makes sure things don’t become unfair or out of hand. He also keeps his clothing on almost every waking moment except absolutely necessary.

==============================

Name: Norino
Age: 21
Height: 5’6
Appearance: An anthromorphic white furred cat. She has a pink nose and gray eyes. She has no tail, and black prints on her paws.
Clothing: She changes them constantly, but she usually just wears simplistic clothing with odd phrases, such as “Meow ReMix” and “Godless Wonder.”
Personality: Easily scared or frightened, she tends to stay near Crystal. Miracle follows them both closely, but Norino sticks to Crystal far more than Miracle does. Norino loves her, and trying to convince Crystal to be more open, but other than that, she tries to keep Crystal happy and herself from being a ‘scaredy-cat.’
History: Norino was saved by Crystal when some humans burned down her village in the forest to drive out the Neko’s for more space. From there on, Norino has followed Crystal extremely closely.
Notes: When Crystal is not around, she becomes incredibly frenzied. Miracle stays to keep her in check, but that doesn’t stop her from being scared.

===========================

Name: Shanty Miran Onsir
Age: 25
Height: 5’9
Appearance: A Caucasian skinned girl who always comes prepared. She has two katana at her hips at all times, and multiple guns and holsters all over her. She has slightly longer nails than most, and she wears sneakers with triple-tied knots. Her face is almost always either scowling or slyly smirking, with constantly moving red eyes and long brown hair that reaches to her rump.
Clothing: She wears pants that reach to her kneecaps and a shirt that reaches to her elbow. She wears a belt with two holsters on each side and one holster in front of her, each containing a type of handgun. She has a machine gun and a shotgun on her back, and both her pants and shirt are always color coded.
Personality: Vulgar, straight forward, blunt and usually offensive, Shanty says what she feels like and does what she wants, especially if money is involved. She would literally kill her mother for money, which she did. She spends the money almost immediately, so she is always seeking the next payday.
History: A bounty hunter who seeks riches, she found a bounty for Crystal worth one trillion bling (the currency of the place this takes place in). As soon as she heard this, she went after Crystal, and has never let up, even to this day.
Notes: She is always trying to pet Norino, and Miracle ignores her completely. Crystal never attacks her unless provoked, but no matter how many times Shanty attacks her, she has never won. Not once.

===============================

Name: Shavoy Yenowal (Yee-know-all)
Age: 117
Height: 5'10
Weight: 400 pounds
Appearance: A turtle anthropomorphic male, Shavoy is a man with simple tastes. He has tan green skin, a light brown shell and two black pupils in his eyes. He always wears a Hawaiian print shirt and short pants (jeans or otherwise), and he has dreadlocks that reach slightly past the bottom of his head and a stubby goatee that is a quarter of an inch long. He has multiple rainbow-colored Jamaican hats, but he doesn't have a specific favorite. He usually has a pair of sunglasses on, but he always has a cigar in his mouth. It's to keep him warm, due to the fact that he's cold-blooded. He's actually a young adult within his species, so he's not old in the slightest.
Personality: Completely laid back and never having even a hint of anger or sadness in his voice, Shavoy takes life in small steps. He smokes all the time, only stopping when he is absolutely forced to, such as when in water or sleeping, or when it's against the law. He speaks in a Jamaican accent and he is Rastafarian. He avoids any sort of violence, and he loves dancing. He can get along with almost everyone.
History: (Haven't thought of one, yet...)
Notes: In one of my stories, he's the owner of a Jamaican shop with trinkets and items pertaining to his religion and his homeland. He's VERY interested in the past or in things such as necklaces or bracelets, even though he usually does not wear any.

========================

Name: Eas Ceano
Age: 27
Height: 5'8
Weight: 150 Pounds
Appeareance: Eas is a female anthropomorphic platypus. She usually wears a white dojo outfit. This is to represent her extremely strict training as a blackbelt. She sometimes wears a headband, but not often. She has spurs on the back of her arms and legs which contain deadly amounts of poison, which is why she keeps them wrapped. One thing to note, however, is that only male platypus's (platypi?) have poisonous spurs. She actually got a sex change when she turned 21.
Personality: She only believes in protecting everyone. She refuses to back down from any challenge, and when there is danger, she does her best to protect everyone. Often ridiculed for her body, she ignores them and continues on.
History: She left home as soon as she turned 21 and graduated from college. She obtained a degree in sociology and psychiatry, both of which she uses to calm people down and talk people out of performing evil acts. Her mother disowned her, but her father loves her as much as he did when he first laid eyes on her as a baby.
Notes: While the poison is deadly, she can control the flow of it, thus giving only enough to make someone collapse. It takes around an hour for her to regenerate it.

========================

Name: Plano von Gujenteim (guh-jen-time)
Age: 33
Height: 5'11
Weight: 500 pounds (looks about 150)
Appearance: Plano usually wears an opened button-down shirt or vest that reaches down past his legs, dragging behind his jeans. He always leaves the front open to reveal his torso, specifically for the scars. He always wears blood red colored clothing, and if it isn't wearing red, he'll make it red shortly. He has a blood red pompadour, which reaches a foot in front of him. He has red eyes that are usually covered by rose-tinted sunglasses, and he smiles as if he's planning something. He hides knives in his pockets. He has scars all across his body, particularly one that's on the middle of his neck that's a quarter inch tall, going from left to right. He has an Asian skin tone, but his eyes are Caucasian.
Personality: Manipulative, energetic, and insane, Plano is the kind of person who thinks after the obstacle is out of the way. He is near suicidal in terms of fighting tactics. He loves to incite anger, cause violence, and generally be a b*****d. He's bisexual, preferring women except for Miracle. He has the ability to manipulate his own blood, which is why he's after Miracle; Miracle can't stop bleeding, so his blood must be at least somewhat interesting. He likes torture, bondage, and killing. He wants Miracle as a plaything, as well.
History: After failing to die after committing suicide by slicing his own neck open, Plano went insane with guilt, anger, sorrow, and worthlessness. If no one accepted him alive, and no one accepted him dead, then he decided to bend life to his will. The blood from his neck seeped back in, crawling up his body, and it caused him to smile. He now only smiles when killing, making as much of a bloody mess as possible.
Notes: He's interested in both Miracle and Crystal, but Miracle makes him nearly swoon.

==============

Name: Ariana Uron Kiran
Age: 24
Height: 2'8
Weight: 70 pounds
Appearance: Bound to a wheelchair, Ariana usually wears a skirt and a tank top or a button down short sleeve shirt. She has no arms or legs, so she sees no point in wearing long clothing. The wheelchair is usually nothing fancy, although she usually likes a pillow to sit on. She has short, spiky, dark purple hair and bright pink eyes. She usually seems to have a nice smile, but the moment someone opens their mouth to her and she doesn't like it, she'll curse so bad that her servant, Maxwell, might push her away in the wheelchair. She is Caucasian, with an extremely slight tan.
Personality: Irritated, agitated, and angry, Ariana will more than likely irritate anyone she comes across. The only reason she gets away with it most of the time is because she's stuck in a wheelchair. However, she can easily fight back, due to her psychic abilities. She has the power to manipulate objects, control someone if they have a weak will or resolve, and the ability to create illusions to distract the enemy. She loves to taunt, often making someone attack her before she even begins to use her abilities. She doesn't particularly enjoy fighting, but when someone attacks her, she enjoys the feeling of victory, proclaiming it loudly.
History: Ariana was born without appendages, so she was put into an orphanage fairly quickly. Since she was technically disabled, she got a service dog in the form of Maxwell, a Great Dane, who protected her and served her. She began using her abilities relatively early, but Maxwell kept it secret, his loyalty far outweighing everything else. Only Ariana and Maxwell have ever seen her use these abilities. After leaving the orphanage, she began living off her welfare and Maxwell's job as a dance club bouncer to not need to work.
Notes: She spends all day looking up child pornography on the Internet. Maxwell's always running virus checks and deleting the data, but Ariana is addicted to it.
===============================

Name: Maxwell
Age: 60 (in Dog years. However, his specific anthropomorphic genetics give him a much longer lifespan than the average canine.)
Height: 6'4
Weight: 250, mostly muscle.
Appearance: Always clad in a black business suit and tie, Maxwell, always tries to look like a businessperson. He is a Great Dane with pointed ears, gray fur and black paws. He wears black sunglasses and the inside of both of his ears have the word 'MAX' tattooed on them in plain sight. His eyes are black, although he rarely takes his sunglasses off.
Personality: He tries to remain calm, but the moment he thinks something is going wrong, he bares his teeth and lets his claws out. He protects Mariana as much as he can, even though he knows he doesn't have to. He acts like he is always conducting business, and he never takes time off. He has no hobbies to speak of, which irritates Mariana, because whenever Maxwell isn't around, she gets to look up porn.
History: Born in a litter that was kept in a kennel, Maxwell was quickly removed within a month of his birth. He never met his family, and doesn't care to. He was trained as a service dog for an extremely disabled girl, known as Mariana. The company behind it trained him in hopes of being able to prove to investors that the company is worth being invested in, but the plan quickly went downhill when Maxwell stated "I was trained to protect a girl, not to talk to you all. You are keeping me from my job. Good day." and left the meeting. The businessmen, irritated, left in a hurry, and the company was closed down. Maxwell is still listed as an assistance dog, but without the company, the title is meaningless. He went to the orphanage and met Mariana when she was 5. He has always taken care of her, even though she curses at him as much as anyone else. When they left, he quickly got an apartment with the money he had been saving, and found a job as a bouncer at a nightclub shortly afterwords. He has been known to be violent when patrons do not listen to him (especially in relation to Mariana when he is not working), but nothing he's done has ever resulted in permanent damage.
Notes: He spends his free time cleaning the apartment he lives in with Mariana and making himself look good. He isn't narcissistic, but he will make sure his nails are smoothed, his teeth are clean, his breath smells nice, and such things like that. He never scolds Mariana, but he will always scan the computer and delete whatever he finds whenever she is asleep.

Oh, no, this has a plot, no worries!

I mean, like, uh... Azumanga Daioh. Just a bunch of normal girls with no real plans except to hang out, go to school, have some fun and be friends. Something like that.

Well, anyway, I have a couple ideas for shonen-ai, but when you have an idea, let me know, 'kay? 3nodding

OHOHOH!

I didn’t know that! Oh boy oh boy!

Well, I have two characters I may want you to draw for a story idea I have. They’re definitely slightly odd, but there’s a reason for it.

Although, I’m not telling you what they look like unless I, uh, get a story to write. sweatdrop

Oy, research isn't a problem. The problem may be deciding what to use from the research. sweatdrop

No worries, though. This seems good. I like folklore and old stories and creatures people may have forgotten about.

I'll get right on it, ma'am! scream

I'm reading the article you posted. It doesn't look too hard.

Now, anything specific you want? Like, multiple chapters, or a one-shot? Any other characters besides that?

Oh, yeah, what's the year, or maybe the season? That may be important for the setting. sweatdrop

Ah, spring, that’s always a great time for love. blaugh

Well, I have no objections. I’ll probably try and make it modern day, but she’ll have a classical feel about her while the person interested is more of a modern, fairy-tales-are-child-things kinda person.

Since you’re the only one who’s asked, I’ll make it multiple chapters. Five sound good, ma’am?

Well, I ain’t asking ‘cause I’m starting anyway. heart

Don’t give me any sort of art until I finish! I refuse to accept anything unless I deserve it! scream

Well, yeah, your the first one to reply to this three-week old thread, so this is thanks. blaugh

Besides, your artwork is worth a book, in and of itself. sweatdrop

Anyway, here's a three-paragrapgh opening. Tell me if this looks good for you so far, as I have only introduced the main character and not Ylva. sweatdrop


(Author’s Note: This entire story is based in Norway. Therefore, since I am from the United States, I am not entirely sure how much I have written is actually true. I only checked Wikipedia if I wasn’t sure, and Wikipedia is not a one-hundred percent true source for almost anything. If I have, in any way, offended or stated something wrong in this story that is incorrect subject matter for the area, I apologize. However, I am willing to try and change parts of the story, but I am not willing to change anything that isn’t directly related to Norway, or myths surrounding Norway. As a final note, the characters are supposed to speaking Norwegian, even though they are speaking in English. It’s easier for me to write in my own language, so it is obviously going to not be the correct language. Any complaint’s, send me a PM, please.)


The forest was teeming with life on this sun-drenched day of spring. The tree’s swayed their branches with the breeze that flowed throughout the land, rustling their leaves and occasionally allowing the sun to greet their overgrown roots. The animals were widespread, with birds chirping above and squirrels rummaging below. The only noise which was unfamiliar, however, was the noise of feet crumpling leaves and mumblings of a woman who had no idea where she was going.

“Geez, this forest is too big…” She sighed, staring upwards at the sunlight grazing her face. She was wearing a bright blue skull cap with a few buttons attached to it and a dark green hoodie, with long dark blue jeans with dozens of pockets located all over. The spring may have come, but it has only just begun, and it was still cold enough to warrant wearing long sleeved clothing. She exhaled a sigh, a small bit of fog coming from her breath, and kept moving forward, rustling more leaves as the birds looked down on her.

“I have to see what could have hurt him, though. This forest is too large to NOT have some possible way of causing someone permanent pain…” She thought to herself, remembering why she was out here in the first place. She paced on, the beauty of the forest mostly ignored by her travelling eyes, colored in with two grey pupils. She tugged on her backpack, straightening it out so it wouldn’t accidently open, and cleared the bushes and branches out of her way.


The warning is because I've never written about anything outside of American culture, so I'm not entirely sure if I'll get everything about it correct. Let me know If I mess up, 'kay? Thank you! sweatdrop heart

Whoa...

It looks amazing. Truly.

I am now inspired to try my hardest with your approval! scream
