Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here's my designs! Done pretty darn quick so don't mind how terrible it is sweatdrop

So here's the boy: link
Ignore the terrible clothes on the right, I gave up halfway designing his "tattered" clothes. Oh yeah switch the hairstyles. The one pulled back is supposed to be his royal style since his hair is so unruly (no, you did not see that pun just there), while the curly messy one is his hair when he doesn't keep it...coiffed.

And the girl: link
Ignore her...feet hands. I only realised after her arms and hands look like boots with heals, but left them like that because I thought it was funny. Anywho, I went for a victorian-based design for her dress, but somehow I don't see it fitting. I also imagined her more petite, like the picture on the right (wearing her outside clothes).

For the names, I'm actually becoming attached to the Adiran, regardless of meaning. Or Aiden.

The boy, on the other hand, is much more down to earth. I drew him with blond hair with bangs that constantly cover his eyes. He has tan skin. I'm debating the eye color, but I'm near decided upon silver eyes with long eyelashes that actually look rather bad a**. I drew him with huge shoulders, and very tall. All in all, he looks very cool and mean.

Now this is where I get to his clothing, and I'll explain why I dressed him like this later.

He has yellow rubber gloves that come up a few inches below his shoulders. On his neck he wears a silly dog collar that has "Fifi" imprinted on the name tag. He has a pink t-shirt, with little green flowers all over it. He wears an apron, which has a pink heart on it that says, "#1 MOM" on it. He wears dull colored pants and oversized boots that have several belts on them.

When I designed the boy's character, what I had in mind for the story was this. The boy had stolen a piece of pottery from his mother and was planning to sell it in order to pay for his secret sewing hobby. He made a deal on "YeOldeEbay" and was planning to meet up with the person who bought his pottery along the border of the Light and Dark realms. The person who bought his pottery was the girl, however, and she brought with her an honor guard while the boy came in the guise of a peasant. Scared shitless by all the guards, he attempted to run away, "which involved breaking a guard's nose, injuring a poor horse, and the untimely destruction of an innocent piece of pottery."

I then planned for the boy to be taken captive, and forced to be the slave of the Dark girl. My idea for the rest of the story would be the silly misadventures over which a total badass would be forced to serve a wimp, and over a series of hilarious events they would slowly warm up to eachother and perhaps become lovers (while at the same time the Light realm is furious over the abduction of their prince, and perhaps a war might be waged. I always do love medieval warfare razz ).

That's why the boy is wearing such rediculous (spelling fail x3) clothing: to degrade him.

I'd like to say that I'm slowly beggining to like the idea of the girl having a backbone. It would be funny to see the two arguing, since the boy would be her servant who would be supposed to do everything she says; yet he's the only person she's ever met who does the total opposite. I can see this being very funny (and perhaps explosive...*evil laugh*) and I'm happy either way with the girl being a wimp or being bitchy, because both can be twisted into a very comedic story.

As for the boy selling pottery for his kingdom...I'm personally going put out a thumbs down to that. Nope, not going to happen. I'm sorry, but seriously? If you were a prince of a poor and starving country, would you honestly think that the best way to solve the problem would be to sell pottery!?! Why not make contracts with neighboring countries? Sign pacts and buy masses of food? Invest in schools for educating the future generation? Give money to inventors to discover better ways of living? No. If this guy wanted to help his country, he sure as hell wouldn't do it by dressing up as a hobo and selling pots on the side of the road. When we talk about supporting a country, it takes a lot more money than that, trust me.

About the names. I don't really like the sound of Bianca. I like the meaning behind it, but when I read it the first thing that pops into my head is: "Biance." If this is going to be a semi medieval time frame, perhaps more medieval sounding names are in order? (example: changing "William" into "Willem")
