Now that I've narrowed down my conceeepts, time for more stupid prompts and questions, because weird things like this make me happy.
Question 19: Here, have some candy! 8D
Cusick: -Makes a face- No thank you.
London: No offense lady, but I can't eat that. I lack a stomach at the present moment. :U
Christopher: ^w^ Thanks! -Hoards it with the rest of his trinkets-
Question 20: You're being chased by an angry animal, what did you do to piss it off? D<
Cusick: I HAVE NO IDEA, NOR DO I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING TO HIDE! D8
London: Nothing! I swear! It just came out of nowhere! -Totally not hiding a bear cub behind his back- PSYCHO ANIMALS I TELL YOU, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!
Christopher: -Grimace- ...It stole my favorite dinosaur plush, so I stole it back and ran away. I didn't realize it would want to follow me all the way home...

In depth soul origins
The Spider Chrysanthemum's Story
You might think there isn't much to tell about a flower, but given the right circumstances, there can always be a good story.
This flower, a golden Spider Chrysanthemum, grew in the deeper part of the Barton Woods upon a path well known for paranormal experiences. People would tell of a spirit who grabbed you by the hand and begged you to look at him, while another would call to you in the distance, their voice reminiscent of a chainsaw massacre. What made the legend so peculiar was that everyone who had claimed to seen or heat these things would also have very similar stories, painting a picture for the perfect urban legend. A young man lost forever in the woods, the sound of chainsaws and screams, any horror film enthusiast would relish in these words and want nothing more than to see this legend for themselves. Thus, many people came through this path close to midnight, when it was too dark to see.
With flashlights drawn, they would wait, hoping to see, or hear, anything that the urban legend had told. Some would come back empty handed and dismayed, while others, convinced by fear, came racing back down the path in bleating troves. But, even after three years of paranormal investigation, whether professional or amateur, no one could capture anything upon their cameras, even if they swore, vehemently, that they had heard something or felt something beside them. Gradually, the path became a home for pranksters from the local middle schools and high schools, who would bait naive classmates with the legend and scare them if they went to the path to investigate. It seemed the legend that had been so beloved would become nothing more than a debunked story, until one group of teenager brought it back to life. This group of girls, all of whom belonged to the high school cheerleader squad, decided to prey upon their newest member and prank her on the haunted path. However, instead of hiding in the bushes and frightening her as they had planned, they found themselves right in the middle of the urban legend itself. It started with the voice calling to them, then the sound of scratching and a chainsaw, and then, from the side of the path, sprang the spirit himself!
"Help! I can't see where I'm going!" The spirit cried, as the girls recalled. According to them, he proceeded to flail towards them as if he were trying to grab them, which, of course, made them flee the scene. However, in their panic, one of the girls took a misstep into a patch of flowers and crushed a few of them as she tried to catch up with her friends. The flower she had crushed was the Spider Chrysanthemum, which had been resting peacefully beside others of it's kind. Though it had been the only golden one to remain upright before the onset of fall, it's color had started to fade from it's center, giving it a slight gradient effect. The weight of the girl's foot bent it's stem and shook some of it's yellow fringes loose, and caused it bob upon what remained of it's stem for a moment or two, until it leaned forward and froze in place with it's petals facing the dirt. Broken, bent, and incapable of getting proper sunlight due to it's new positioning, the flower began to wilt. Police officers came after hearing of the incident and searched the area for the young man, convinced he had been a missing blind man from the next town over, only to grow discontent and blow it all off as an urban legend. As the officers turned to leave the ares, the flower, laying underneath it's healthier brethren, began to feel something strange. It wanted to reach out, it wanted to be seen, it wanted these people in uniform to find it and bring it somewhere safe. But, try as it may to pull it's petals forward and outshine those above it, the officers failed to notice it, leaving it there to die.
Another week went by as the flower's decay continued and it's new found ability to feel emotion only grew. It began to pray and beg with the other flowers to allow it some sunlight and rain, only to find that the others were incapable of communicating the same way. They couldn't hear it because it was no longer like them. They couldn't feel as it could, and that was what separated it from the things that it could use to prolong it's survival. Then, as night cloaked the forest floor and chilled the air one evening, a strange clanging sound caught the flower's attention. A new sense tore through the darkness and shed light upon a strange bottle that had rolled through the bushes just inches away from where the flower lay dying. The flower peered at it and felt itself moving, as if it were being pulled towards the bottle, and a feeling of peace enveloped it. From within the bottle it could sense the presence of person on the path who seemed to be in quite a fret, and, before it allow itself to rest comfortably against the bottle's glass, it hoped that all of the fuss was over trying to find where the bottle had gone. It was a tiny prayer, it's last one before it went to sleep, and it was one that it would never remember getting granted.

I used a doll maker to make an idea of what Christopher's muse looks like to me. (I understand that I am not guaranteed these traits, nor am I ever guaranteed a slot. This is just for fun and insight into my own mind, I guess.)
Dunno why his muses indicates that he has dreaded hair, dark skin, and freckles, but it does. It's fun to see what I can come up with in the early morning hours. XD (The clothes are gray because I couldn't think of what colors, besides varying hues of yellow, would work with his body)
9/26 - Added a poll to gather opinions and maybe critiques. XD -Continues being a derp-

London's happy you noticed him! XD He's the most outwardly social of my concepts.
I should be able to finish his form later today, let me know if you have any other comments, though! ;w;

I'm surprised that he would be considered the most social - just thinking of a sweet little lamb + lavender, which is a calming agent. But I like your twist on it. I look forward to reading more about him ~ If you want to PM me any questions or anything feel free to > w<
PS: I think London is also my favorite because I have an OC named [London] LOL <33

Compared to Cusick who's pretty much afraid of everyone at first meeting and Christopher who can't keep up with most conversations (Due to how slow he is at learning and comprehending things), in the realm of shyness, London is the most open. It comes from his soul, who's story I need to write out. He's was a very friendly sheep, though. XD
I love making refs for how my muse pictures my concepts, so, here's how London looks to me. >w> (His hair would either be cream or a shade of purple, I imagine)
The colors and the stream of color coming from his eye represent what he sees due to his essence. All the color, all the distortion. |3
Edit:
And FFF! Your London is so cuuute! emotion_kirakira Did you draw him? I love his hair and those little wiiiiings!

Haha, see, I woulda thought the cheetah would be more outgoing, inquisitive and outgoing - though I definitely see the personality background for Christopher. But I like that you didn't just do what was expected - you made interesting personalities for them.
I think he'd be soooooo pretty with a cream colored hair style, all poofy and afro like with some purple tones in it * A*<33 And it's definitely cool that he sees things so distorted. That would definitely cause some impact to his personality and such ~ and lead to some cool plots I think.
Haha thanks!! I didn't draw him ; u; I have zero artistic ability P: But I do love collecting art of him: [Here]

The main reason for Cusick's personality is because Cheetahs are known for their anxiety, and males in particular, for how territorial they are. Combine that with an essence which is basically sand that avoids your skin like the plague, and you've got a boy who'd much rather watch you from around a corner than deal with you face to face. XD
Christopher's personality is pretty much a direct result of what his essence is capable of doing. Severe headaches, dizziness, and, nausea, are all things that can make someone dull, slow, and if they go one for prolonged periods of time, self-conscious, which is why Chris has all of these things somewhere in his personality. However, because of his soul, he also wants to be near people and feel secure in a group, which is why he isn't as social-phobic as Cusick.
YESSS, I see that, I certainly see that! *w* And, the distortion really does play a huge role in who he is and how he behaves. Though he is lazy because of his essence, his brain is incredibly active. However, his vision isn't always that distorted. It can range from something "small" such as seeing colored swirls or someone suddenly changing hair color, to full blown hallucinations that take over his other senses. He will gain some coping skills in order to keep himself tied to reality so he can have a "normal" life, but future plots may pave the way for the worst hallucinations to have full control over his life. >w>
EEEE, lookit all the cute art! >w< -Squeezes London's cheeks- Precious!

9/30 - Stomach aches like I've eaten bad meat. XP;
Hope to fill in London's form today and write Christopher's personality properly. The urge to make more references is strong, even though I know that I'm never guaranteed the appearance. XD
Probably going to write about London and Cusick's souls, too. owo -Nuzzles her concepts-

10/5 - Stomach aches have been thoroughly replaced by one hell of a gnarly cold. Slowed progress all around. >3>
Quest related news: London may become main quest, though Christopher is still a contender. I don't anticipate being able to enter the semi-custom event going on now, so, good luck to those who have entered! I'm excited for you and the new Raevan to come! <3
Life related news: Pidgie's father is going away for three weeks this month. Being home alone from 9 am to 6 pm while wheezing like this is a daunting prospect. The dog seems to think the black plague is upon us and has retreated to the safety of the outdoors. If it weren't so hard to breathe right now, I'd be out there, too.
Side note: Birth mother's birthday is October 18th.
> It would've been her 48th birthday. Happy 18th year among the stars, Michele. Please don't manifest as a cat like you did two years, my dad didn't let me keep you. >3>; -shot- Maybe a dog this time, IDK.
