The avatar, the description..... it's all great.

Heh. The only thing is that all the other gargoyles look so grim, and I have a silly grin on mine. whee

I drew a picture of Gargoyle!Kat today, but my computer won't let me color it. stare


You'll love it more once I get it fixed. 3nodding

And hey, every Clan needs the enthusiastic hatchling.

I'm still trying to come up with something for you, though. If you had any ideas.....?

I'll try to think of something. I've always loved Xanatos' second season role as the quasi-ally. Marriage somewhat mellowed the man out, but he still retained the qualities that made him David Xanatos.

I've always liked Xanatos more than Goliath - he's intelligent, strong, ruthless and he doesn't (usually) let his emotions get the best of him. Unlike, say, our rather unstable Gargoyle leader. In other words, he's someone I can both respect and identify with - which isn't something I can often say about a fictional character.

His methods in the first season were, however, somewhat more 'villainous' than was perhaps necessary, due in no small part to his underestimating the Gargoyles. Once he came to realize what they were, however, he began using the 'attract more flies with honey than vinegar' principle. He ceased being 'the bad guy' without losing any of the drive and ambition that made him such a compelling character in the first place.

Now, what does this have to do with me? Maybe nothing.
But I wanted to explain what it was that attracted me to the character in the first place, and perhaps explain why - despite my love for the show - I can't really identify with any of the show's leading works of masonry.

I totally would have expected Mory to go with the angel wings. surprised

Hey, Alliance...maybe try to find a decent picture of Angela for reference for Mory? I couldn't find one, though.

She was debating about it.

That's what I was thinking, too. 3nodding And I've seen a bunch of good Angela fan-art that would be a good reference. I'll go try to find those tonight. (EDIT: Screencaps work, too.)

Oh, and your tail is fixed, but she's gonna save the top until after she finishes Gendou's armor.

Also, I think I've got a good blurb thought up for Gendou. I'll type it up in a second.

I never got to watch Gargoyles. In light of my new character, I would like to ask some questions for better understanding.

1) Gargoyles are hideous stone beasts perched on rooftops. These look like demons more than anything else. So do they actually turn to stone and perch on rooftops, or is 'gargoyles' more of a nickname?

2) What, if anything, do gargoyles eat?

3) Is it the gargoyles main duty to protet the building it's standing on, or what?

4) Where do baby gargoyles come from?

Gargoyles are their official species name. They turn to stone by day, and become flesh-and-blood at sundown. This is a biological process that revitalizes and refreshes them, and also heals injuries. However, they are especially vulnerable as stone. If they are smashed to pieces, they never wake up, and remain stone pieces forever. Essentially, a less-messy death.

Many gargoyles do indeed look like demons, but there are clans (especially in London) that have bird-like wings, and animal faces. Unicorn, eagle, and lion gargoyles are common in the London clan, but rare elsewhere.

Quote:
2) What, if anything, do gargoyles eat?


Same things that humans eat. Meat, vegetables, candy, whatever. Gargoyles have their own individual preferences, just like humans do.

Although, most gargoyles don't like pizza. No special reason, they just don't.

Quote:
3) Is it the gargoyles main duty to protet the building it's standing on, or what?


Indeed. "A gargoyle can no more stop protecting the [castle, building, city, etc.] than breathing the air." It's ingrained into their very being. Part of their culture.

Quote:
4) Where do baby gargoyles come from?


Eggs. Gargoyles lay eggs, which are maintained usually in a communal Rookery. In most clans, the hatchlings are children of the entire clan, and have no sense of individual parents. Gargoyles do mate for life, much like humans do (in theory).

In smaller clans, or rogue clans, or even the larger modern clans (such as the Manhattan clan), gargoyles have adopted a more human family structure, with individual parents and children acknowledging each other as such.


Avalon is a good place to go to for episode and canon character information, and I believe Arcadian has a link to a site maintained by Greg Weisman himself that explores the biological, cultural, and historical aspects of these creatures he has created.

Possible Gendou mini-description:

Quote:
Gendou
Gendou was the first human to discover the Clan. He quickly set to learning as much about the gargoyles as he could, nearly making it an obsession. He fashioned himself a mechanical suit of armor that would allow him to soar amongst them, and go on patrol with them.

There does seem to be more going on beneath the surface of his calculating gaze, however. There also is the fact that nothing he does - especially amongst the gargoyles - comes without benefit to himself. Indeed, he has an ulterior motive for everything he does, even though it doesn't readily appear to be so.


I'm not terribly happy with the last bit. It doesn't really flow well.

Man, Alliance knows what's what. As for Gendou's blurb, I think it's fine. 3nodding

So...talk to me about this clan's dynamics. Who's the leader? Second-in-Command? Hatchlings?

When I do my research, I'm thorough. 3nodding I've also got a memory for details.

All that's up for debate. I was thinking Mory, Kyraa, and Katane are the comic-relief hatchlings, though. I mean, how could they not be? Hopefully, when we get more done, we can come up with a clan order. (And also then start an RP of some sort.)
