Whoot, I needed a thread in here, and character info storage is always a good thing. I've been an art whore since about 2000, and collecting artwork of my original characters is a passion of mine. There is nothing more personal of a collection than different artists' renditions of my characters. Each is different and unique and lovely. I have always loved seeing art collections - different artists' take on the same subject, and what could be better than one of my subjects ^_~

I have a tendency to create male characters that grow attached to me. My female characters tend to be regretfully short lived in the games/RPs that they are from (the games as a whole usually) or I have a hard time getting attached to them.

My website with links to character pages is Here - My Original Characters Page

A lot of this information is reposted from My Gaia Journal

Victorian-Sabin

click the image to be taken to his FULL PROFILE page

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Name: Sabin Duvert

Race: Human/Anju (Shadow Creature)

Setting: Victorian Horror

Bio: Smart, inquisitive, and with a longing to know more about the world, Sabin knew he couldn't stay in his tiny French hometown his whole life. His dabbling in the occult and unhealthy obsession with monsters eventually cost him dearly; losing someone important to him and nearly costing himself his life and sanity. Posessed by a terrifying Nightmare creature called an Anju, Sabin had to learn the only way to keep his darker half from winning control of his life was to merge with it.

Who He Knows: His wife, Samantha Blaire. Also his good friends Tavis and Wolf, and others from the Victorian Legends Cast.

Modern-Sabin

Sabin, since then

Name: Sabin Duvert

Race: Human/Anju (Shadow Creature)

Setting: Modern -> Gaia

Bio: Years later, after Sabin's merging with the Anju in his nature, and his marriage to Samantha, he survives up to the modern era. Samantha finally becomes pregnant in the 70's (after a very special ... session) and gives birth to twins - Eric and Alexandria (Alex for short). In order to give them a chance at a normal life, Sabin and Samantha integrate themselves into a very normal identity. Samantha as a veternarian, Sabin as a University professor of Anthropology/Folklore. They don't tell the children about their magical natures. Eric and Alex are born looking mostly human - their eyes are dark brown/almost burgandy color, Eric with curly brown hair, Alex with straighter hair. Their teeth are slightly pointed, and their nails grow fast. Iron would be hot to the touch for them. Eric was very much like his father - finding his job very interesting, and always wanting to be something special, interested in gaming and roleplaying, and the like. Alex, on the other hand, always had the feeling that the family wasn't quite normal, and it scared her. With a desire to be popular and fit in she dyes her hair blonde, and tries to integrate herself into the popular crowd.
They find out about the time they're 14 (this is a general age - you can tweak if you want), after a difficult discussion. Eric takes it very well, Alex doesn't.

More specific dates are written about here in response to Thornshield

Other things of interest/amusement - Sabin is still a very quirky individual, obsessed with mythology and monsters. He is a strict carnivore, he games with his son, and is a very quirky professor. Woe be to those who fall asleep in his classroom - as they tend to wake up screaming from a nightmare twisted The first time a semester Sabin would warn them passively 'not to sleep in his class' - after that he would look over to them as they sleep, not say anything, and keep on narrating as they wake up... whee

**

Gaia Storyline: After Eric and Alex were off to college, Samantha, in a tragic car accident, was killed. Sabin was very morose for many years (it would be during this period that the Island of Dr. Moreau storyline would occur for those of you familiar with that). Eventually, Tavis pulls him out of his dark rut and tries to rekindle his spark of adventure in getting him off exploring after the rumor of a portal. They find it but, unlike what Sabin presumes it to be (a portal to the feyrealm like one he had found years and years ago) finds instead a one-way portal to Gaia. There he meets Kamiki, finds that he can open up and love again (and with it finding a stronger tie to his humanity again) - and evetually has another son, Gavin

Who He Knows: His wife, Samantha Blaire.

Gaia-version: Kamiki and their GMFC son, Gavin


Best References: X X X X - all of these are from the victorian-era, so the appearance is correct, but the clothing is not (unless he's on an eccentric day).

Swashbuckling Ambrose
Historical/Fantasy Version Ambrose. Click the image for his FULL profile


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Name: Ambrose Maurlias

Race: Werewolf - Best Human form pic

Setting: Swashbuckling Horror / Ravenloft

Bio: All Ambrose ever wanted to do was make his father proud. Quickly climbing the ranks in the Musketeers, Ambrose's life was turned upside down when his ship ended up wrecking in another plane called Ravenloft. This corrupt land full of unthinkable horrors tests the boundries of Amrbose's sanity. Infected with lycanthropy, he journied throughout the dark ways desperately seeking a way home from the cursed land.


Story Aftermath: Finally finding a way to escape the dread realms, Ambrose, Angelina, and a small remainder of their original party made it back to their homeworld. However with their return, many horrors from the Realms escaped with them. Only after questing to defeat the Dark Lords in their own world could they finally settle down and start a family.
See the "TEN Years Later" section that begins near the bottom of this page

Who He Knows: His fiance (later, wife), Angelina
*NOTE: When Drawing Angelina, THISoutfit (no pointed ears) she wears essentially up to the feyrealm, which is when Ambrose really starts to finally accept what he is becoming. Anything afterwards, THIS Outfit (with the pointed ears) is appropriate. After they get back to France and settle in for the happy life of a Duke and Duchess, you can draw her in more formal outfits.

Bio: Ambrose, starting as a sophmore in High School with family issues and trying to deal with a conflict of who he is and who he wants to be, a girl he likes but knows would not be approved of, deals with lycanthropy as a case of a family curse that skips generations, and various and sundry complications.

Island of Moreau version Ambrose
Click the image for his FULL profile - page shared with Version 1 Modern Ambrose


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Name: Ambrose Maurlias

Race: Human, slowly becoming an anthropomorphic wolf

Setting: Modern / Island of Dr. Moreau

Bio: This version was spawned for an online Role-playing game in in the Gaia Breedables for a shop/RP by the aforementioned name: Island of Dr. Moreau. Here, Ambrose continued with his 'normal' life up until after his freshman year of college, where, after having finally stood up to his parents and did what he wanted to do for college (and was cut off financially) realized that money didn't grow on trees. Responding to an add in the paper for $5000 for a two week medical study, Ambrose unwittingly became part of an experiment where himself and many other other unfortunate subjects had become part of a genetic experiment that slowly changed them permanently into anthropomorphic animals, and faced a lifetime imprisonment on the mad scientist's island.
Currently, in the storyline, Ambrose is 75% of the way through his transformation. The picture to the left/above is at 50%. See below for 75%.

Ambrose's IoDM Journal: Click Here

Who He Knows: His Girlfriend, Angelina. She generally dresses punk-ish. She also got snared onto the Island later - due to her own relentless pursuing Ambrose's disapperance and Ambrose's railing at the authorities. She has been injected with common grey Genet serum. By 100% her hair will change from brown to black to match with her furcolor. Her eyes will remain blue. Feel free to have fun with her outfit. As far as forms/pairings. Ambrose is now 75%, and Angelina JUST changed to her 25%. She arrived on the island when he was 50%. So they can be drawn together both human, him at 50% or 75% and her human, him at 75% and her at 25%, or him fully changed and her at 25-100%.Her General Appearance (not normal clothing) / Appearance and general clothing / Clothing style / 100% Genet Transformation / Another 100%! Great Ref
NEWAngelina at 25% - Angelina just transformed for the first time, So She is at 25%, while Ambrose is at 75%.

His eventual 100% form is well represented by the swashbuckling-version (including the long hair - it will have grown out by then)
