I hope this is appropriate to place this thread here since it's going to be my existing original creations in the long run.
Haha.. I still haven't drawn my reyvateils fully yet, but I do have some ideas in mind how to draw them. I want to draw them in a light where they're regular reyvateils, but also holds a lot of sadness that lies deep in their cosmospheres.
I haven't compiled my personal text file yet, but I think it's suitable to place it here in the meantime. After some ideas in mind, I'll present some of the character sketches for each reyvateil.
As they (except one) are Reyvateils, I have some ideas on how their cosmosphere and costume(s) will come out.
It'll take a while, but I hope you're patient enough to follow through my development. heart

Reyvateil #1
Name: TBA
Age: Fairly young, but old enough to exhibit insecurities. Perhaps 15-16? She is also younger than her older, human sister.
History/Desc: When she was little, her mother and father were forced to leave the village. With only her older sister, they were left in the care of relatives. Because their mother was a Reyvateil, they both dreamt about being able to sing songs together. However, when her older sister reached the age of the chance of becoming one, no changes occurred. After thorough examination, her sister was confirmed to be a human. At the time, she herself exhibited the symptoms of the Tattoolist disease. Due to the poor conditions of the village, the medicine was incredibly expensive. Fortunately, they were able to relieve the conditions, but it was only through her sister's jobs out in the city that allowed them to amass funds for the medicine.
Compared to her older sister, she doesn't hold much confidence in herself and wondered why her sister wasn't a Reyvateil (who she believes to be far more superior in singing than she could be).
Much of her cosmosphere and development would most likely lie in her insecurities and lack of confidence. She loves her sister dearly. However, she wishes very much for her sister songs more than her own (not to have it, but rather, her sister to be able to use it; of course, she's deemed as human at the moment so it's very unlikely for her to exhibit any effect whatsover).

Older Sister of Reyvateil #1
I know she's (currently?) not a Reyvateil. However, she has a central part in her story as well, especially her songs that her sister admires the most. I'm also assuming that despite the high rate of becoming a Reyvateil (mother being one, and was born a female), there's also a chance of her father's recessive genes to be dominant in her genetics.
Name: TBA
Age: Older than her younger sister. Probably 2-3 years older.
History/Desc: Same as her younger sister, her parents were forced to leave the village to earn money. They left their two daughters in the care of relatives who receives the parents' sum to care for the daughters.
When her younger sister exhibited symptoms of Tattoolist disease, she left the village promptly in order to find work to pay for the medicine. She tries her best to visit, but her visits tend to be short and infrequent. Regardless, her younger sister was patient and gained much morale thanks to her older sister's efforts. Her efforts paid off and was able to relieve her sister. Due to the expensive price on the medicine, she too left the village to earn money to pay for the medicine.
When she was a child, she and her sister loved singing songs together with their mother, who is a Reyvateil. Nowadays, as a human, her songs doesn't have a lot of power. Instead, she invests her time working in various part time jobs to help pay for her sister's medicine and to improve their life.
Her various part time jobs were difficult, but it gave her much experience in many areas. She also amassed a vast network that offered her much advantages and improvement to her lifestyle. Eventually, she brought her younger sister to the city as well and hopes to enroll her into a academy or perhaps hire a teacher to practice singing.
In combat, she could be considered as a vanguard as she isn't a Reyvateil. Her attacks aren't strong but she can throw several jabs at once. At most, her build is average but enough to keep the enemy at bay.
Like said, her younger sister admires her singing and would rather hear her older sister's songs than her own. This causes some complications for her as she wishes for her sister to gain confidence and sing.
On another note- the sisters left the village to the city in order to find their parents' whereabouts as well. Despite regular monthly sums, the return address was vague. Letters were received as well but again, location was vague. I'm wondering how to tie this in though (in regards to their parents' statues and whatnot).

Reyvateil #2
Name: Again, unknown. But, she is independent (an adult) of the other two characters.
Age: Mid-20s, perhaps. Any younger would result in experiences harbored dominantly during the teenage years (and therefore, a bit more superfluous to the significance of her plight). ^^;
History/Desc: Not much about her, except she is still undergoing depression because of the breakup of her previous relationship. I'm not quite sure about her boyfriend, but he delved close to.. LVL8 of her cosmosphere before terminating their relationship. Because she shared much of her emotions, story, and love with him, she became heartbroken as a result and her cosmosphere is assumed to be in a disarray ever since.
If there's ever a chance where another significant other appears in her life and dives, he'll presumably will face many complications as she developed numerous negative personas that'll attack him with her past, traumatic experiences in addition to their high standards on whether he'll can be the one she wants.
Aside from taunting, they'll most like put him in dangerous scenarios to see if he can bear her traumas with her.
Likely, cosmosphere LVL8 (or 9) will exhibit one of her previous, kinder personas blindfolded. This would be a test to see if he can gain her [trust] and guide her. He not only has to gain her [trust], but he also has to make her feel assured that she would be guaranteed safety with him. As her previous relationship ended around this level, she'll undoubtedly will put the most obstacles here in this level. At the same time, her LVL10 would be a very grand wedding where, unlike those that likes privacy, would be open to her other personas congratulating with well-wishes and praise. Other NPCs would be there as well, in a sense. Maybe her songs?
EDIT: Ahh now that I look at this.. it reminds me of the josei manga genre.. kind of. =

That's all for now~
I'm glad I came up with a decent backstory for each though. As I love characterization.. lacking backstories tend to make me sad haha. 8D;;

Thank you~!
I think I can expand it into a story (if I get that far, that is) because I also have other plot devices in mind, such as a situation where one of the reyvateils deliberately swaps places with another (.. whom I haven't detailed yet). :'D

Remington Arie lovely il be waiting.oh by the way do you know who this is?right? Yup! He is Aurica's mind guardian: Don Leon (in the English localization of Ar tonelico). :'D Aurica also wears a mascot costume based on Don Leon as well.

(reposted from Nell's Chatterbox thread)
Wow.. time goes by so fast! n__n;
At the moment, I'm trying to see if I can make not only more illustrations this year (hopefully with the zest that I enjoyed from late '05 and 07), but also flesh out many characters that had "existed" but never completely had an appearance to back it up. >__>;
Amongst the many characters I'm working on, I'm trying to finally work on my original reyvateils. ^^; The main issue is to adorn her in a way that makes her stand out enough not just for me, but also to onlookers. Uhh.. wait.. the one I'm working on is not really a reyvateil. D:
(I'll copy + paste this in my reyvateil thread later ahaha)
(new development!!)
She's the older sister of one.. but due to some circumstances from her various jobs (to pay for her younger sister's diquility), she settled into one where she plays as the double of her reyvateil client.
Her reyvateil client doesn't have much confidence in her voice and as a respected member in the society (well.. her parents are notably), she's often invited to sing for various occasions and parties. More than often, she's unable to refuse them because of her standing. However, due to a traumatic occasion where her singing was ridiculed (not directly.. but the aura wafted much gossip about it), she no longer possesses the will to craft and sing her own songs.
To her luck, she found someone that resembled her uncannily (er.. that's her vision anyway.. there's always slight differences since they're not twins), she immediately hired her. The older-sister-with-younger-sister-as-a-reyvateil was skeptical at first.. but the pay was good and enough to pay for the regular diquility for her younger sister. She also was offered lodgings, meals, and education (notably for hymmnos, mannerisms of the upper class, etc.). And so, she accepted the offer and became the double of a reyvateil. The only problem is that she's "human" (I'm wanting to make her as a reyvateil as well.. but that'd defeat the purpose of the placing difficulties for humans) and while she has a splendid singing voice, her human qualities aren't going to welcomed in the reyvateil sphere. In a sense, it's difficult to disguise the human girl as a reyvateil but, it worked for the most part due to the distance her reyvateil client had amongst the listeners in addition to the songs being non-combative or wholly passionate (those songs are likely to exhibit waves quite a bit.. I would think anyway).
Oh yeah. on a random note, the disguising of the human also included painting a (temporary?) tattoo of the install part for that rare, rare situation where her garments are unwillingly torn. It's just a safe precaution since there are likely to be many who "waste their time" trying to take down the upper class.
---
With that above.. I'm not sure what tower that story would set in. Sol Ciel won't work very well since there isn't a upper class reyvateil society (and just has 2 spheres of respect developed from the isolation of Platina and the lower world).. Sol Marta miight be viable except the upper class is more or less solely focused on the holy Maiden(s). The last one is new and with the reyvateil dominance.. it just might work. It only makes it worse for the human sister because of her species ranking and how an actual reyvateil wants her assistance. Also, humans face the issue of aging.. something reyvateils aren't really hampered with so the human sister might not be able to retain the job as long-term. Her "voice" is likely to remain valuable to the reyvateil client though.
---
Whew. That's a massive wall of text on my reyvateil plot/character development. Sorry. 8D;;
Possible lingering resentment attributed from society & class:
She (the reyvateil client) might harbor those feelings, although those won't be acknowledged outright because she did hire a double (who happens to be a human) in the first place. That doesn't mean those feelings aren't unheard- I think her future diver (if she permits him) might see those personally in her cosmosphere.
Perhaps, the reyvateil client would like to appreciate her human double for her efforts.. but she'd unthinkably would still address her human double's inferiority to beta types due to the norms of society. she'd probably say/mention it jokingly.. but her human double's more or less putting up with the "verbal harassment" for her sister's sake.. who too is looked down for being a third generation reyvateil dependent on diquility to survive.
If the human double WAS a reyvateil.. her cosmosphere will be a interesting sight to see. 8D;
Oh yeah, I decided to make the older sister a human because I thought that a hymmnos song duet with her little sister would be touching. The little sister possesses a inferiority complex as a third generation and a reyvateil who can't sing. It doesn't help that she idolizes her human sister's capabilities for singing and why she wasn't born a reyvateil.
Ahaha.. I should figure out names soon.. I'm tired of identifying them with their labels ahaha...
