Info Acquired = Self-explanatory Name Meaning = Not actually the meaning of a name, necessarily- but more 'why did I chose that name.'

Acquired: Raffle Name Meaning: ...I was looking up names that meant 'green' and Lorne popped up even though it doesn't mean that (apparently there was an actor named Lorne Greene?)... but it got stuck anyway. So his name makes no sense XD
Home: A somewhat big doll-sized boardinghouse mostly occupied by followers of Venezia. He lives across the hall from his son. Half the time, he follows the carnival, but he assumes that he isn't missed much when he's gone because he mostly does things like run concession stands.
Concept Personality:Lorne on the surface has a gentle, sweet nature- he almost always has a soft smile on his face and is willing to lend a hand to just about anyone... or an ear if they just want to talk. However, the most observant might notice that Lorne's smile doesn't often touch his eyes... so maybe he's not as blandly happy as he seems.
Acquaintances: * Aureli - His son from a fling. Lorne is sort of an ambivalent parent... actually, he's sort of neglectful in an emotional sense, though his son never went hungry or anything growing up. He is quite happy his son is an adult now... but at least the worst thing he ever did to him was put a doily on Aureli's capsule in an inexplicable whim to fancy up his room. * Tristis - They often hang out when they're both home, fobbing off doing anything for the carnival. Lorne is mildly fond of him and has picked up some knowledge of tarot cards from him.
Acquired: Freebie Name Meaning: ...just for some reason, that name is what 'fit' when I first saw her.
Home: A somewhat big doll-sized boardinghouse mostly occupied by followers of Venezia. She can barely stand her housemates, however, so she splits her time between living there and crashing at her mate's diorama-like home. She shares a room with her son. Of course, some of the time she is gone from home, working for Venezia's carnival- but as she mostly handles 'boring' things like ordering supplies and making lists, she finds she doesn't have to stay around 100% of the time.
Concept Personality:Mercy is a conflicted follower of Venezia. While she delights in a job well done and making sure plans come to fruition and the carnivale is a success... she just can't stand all the bloody noise the event makes and wishes everyone would just shut up. ...what, did you think she had some moral objections?
Character Notes: She has been told that her only talents are organizing things and 'being grumpy,' but she does have more of an eye towards organization and detail than a follower of a chaotic carnival god probably has any right to have... She likes reading and she likes quiet, and she likes that sort of tired that comes from planning and organizing an event and then watching it unfold 'just as planned.' She has recently discovered she has a 'like' of art, even if she can barely pencil out anything more complicated than a map herself... and also has discovered that her tastes tend to run towards the nightmare-ish. She is a bit less surprised about the latter. When she blushes, it's not very visible against her skin- but the markings under her eyes glow brighter.
Acquaintances: * Verde - Or at least she's reasonably sure that is his name... the strange fellow doesn't stay much. Still, after a chance encounter with him, she found herself strangely enjoying his company and has left a standing invitation for him to come and visit her. She has a sketch he made of her and she keeps it hidden away because she doesn't want anyone to steal it- if she ever moves out on her own she'll probably put it in a nice frame or something. (^This is all outdated and needs to be fixed- she is now mates with him.) * Darsh - She has an odd sort of friendship with him. She patches him up when he gets into fights, and he's taught her how to throw a decent punch. Aside from her son, he's the person she's most fond of out of the ones who live in the boarding house. They both seem to know when to say something to the other, or when not to say anything at all. * Darien - Darien is her son- and as much as she's terrified that she is/was a bad mother, she loves him. She's sort of wryly proud that he seems to have inherited his father's skill with art (rather than her lack-of-skill at art). ...but even though he's a grown-up now... don't mess with her son- it won't end well. * Katze - Well... Katze's her daughter... Mercy doesn't really know how to -dote-, per se, but she is quite indulgent of her. She doesn't know what she -did-, but somehow her daughter likes to spend time around her... so she allows it. ...don't mess with her daughter either, it won't end pretty. * She's at least on a name-basis for all the Pockettu that live in the boarding house with her- she just doesn't like anyone not mentioned in detail very much.

Acquired: Color Custom Name Meaning: Darsh is themed off the colors of Derse (from the webcomic Homestuck), and so I picked a name that sounded close to it.
Concept Personality:...I'm still working it out aside from 'grumpy.' XD
Home: A somewhat big doll-sized boardinghouse mostly occupied by followers of Venezia. He wasn't entirely aware that the place was swarming with 'crazy clown groupies' when he moved in, but he hasn't found any place better and it isn't bad enough that he desperately wants to leave.
Character Notes: He's not the nicest person out there- but he tends not to try and start anything bad... most of the time. He can be quite vicious when someone ELSE starts things (BONUS! It means it's not his fault!). He's not stupid, but he's very stubborn- he won't back down from something once he's started it even though his rational mind is calling him all sorts of colorful names. In normal conversation he has sort of slangy drawl (doing=doin', stuff like that), and he can be pretty casual with his swearing.
Acquaintances: * Azraefel - A 'freakshow b*****d" who kicked his a** during a battle and left him nursing claw marks, bites... and his name written across his back in scratches, which is the only reason he knows the guy's name in the first place. Would sort of very much like to punch the guy in the face -again-. * It can be assumed that he knows all of the Pockettu I own- he just doesn't really have much of an opinion on most of them besides "loopy cultists." The person he gets along with the best in the house is Mercy, if only because she tends to keep to herself and be fairly level-headed as long as he does his share of the chores around the house.
Acquired: Auction Name Meaning: A friend of mine has a roleplaying character named Tristris- and he's also a somewhat-purple-themed catboy. With her permission, I re-used the name~
Home: A somewhat big doll-sized boardinghouse mostly occupied by followers of Venezia.
Concept Personality:Tristis is a fortune teller who likes to cause a little mayhem. Depending on the situation, he has several tarot decks- one that is entirely full of copies of 'The Tower' card, and one that is simply a marked deck. He probably doesn't actually have the ability for foresee the future, so even if he gives a legitimate reading, it's his own advice. He's very much a creature of whims... ...but the one solid rule is: don't play cards with him- he's a cheater.

Acquired: Being the first person to fail at a 'Don't Match The Number' dice game XD Name Meaning: I wanted a name that meant glittery or shiny or something because of her hair- and then I remembered there was a shiny currency/item in the online game Fallen London that was called 'Glim...'
Home: A somewhat big doll-sized boardinghouse mostly occupied by followers of Venezia.
Concept Personality:I don't have much planned out yet- except that she's probably very brash, loud and pushy- and she probably likes gambling/competitions... and really sucks at it/has no real talents. XD
Acquired: Breeding (Father's Day Raffle) Name Meaning: Aureli's capsule was yellow when I picked him out, so I found a name that had something to do with 'gold' and I messed around with it.
Home: A somewhat big doll-sized boardinghouse mostly occupied by followers of Venezia. He lives across the hall from his father.
Concept Personality:Aureli had a father who didn't really know what he was doing and who was sort of ambivalent about having a kid... but it didn't scar him for life or anything. He has sort of an awkward affection for his father and has a little trouble sort of finding his place in the scheme of things. He has a small desire to meet his mother and his siblings someday, but it's not an all-consuming quest. He really likes shiny things, but values costume jewelry just the same as real jewels... or perhaps even more if there's more glitter. He doesn't wear jewelry or anything- but he hoards things like a magpie. ...and he hates doilies for some reason he can't quite explain.
Acquaintances: * Lorne - He loves his father, but he still sort of feels like he doesn't know his father any better than any other person in the house... or sometimes he thinks he doesn't even know him -that- well. * It can be assumed that he knows all the Pockettu I own, at least in passing.

Acquired: Flatsale Name Meaning: Bastille is just one of those weird... nonsense names like 'Mercy.' It doesn't have any deep meaning, I just thought it fit him.
Home: A somewhat big doll-sized boardinghouse mostly occupied by followers of Venezia.
Concept Personality:Need to figure something out...
Acquired: RP Prompt Contest Name Meaning: I wanted something close to 'serpent' without actually using a name that had any obvious connections to snakes... And I just ended up liking how Serendipity sounded.
Home: A somewhat big doll-sized boardinghouse mostly occupied by followers of Venezia.
Powers: She has the natural ability to be able to understand and communicate with snakes- it isn't telepathy, she just knows the 'language' and is capable of reading serpentine body language, mimicking it passably, and understanding and 'speaking' hisses. She can't CONTROL snakes, but she can ask them politely to do things or not to do things.
Concept Personality:Serendipity had all the potential to be a sweet, gentle person... but she just doesn't feel like she 'belongs' with or 'understands' normal people. She became a follower of Venezia because she felt somewhat more at-ease in the carnival setting and it allowed her to feel some kind of acceptance... She understands snakes much better than other Pockettu thanks to her special gift, and sometimes in her lonelier moments she almost wishes she -was- a snake; though she tries not to wallow in self-pity. She is fairly quiet and shy, though she covers it up by boldly showing off her body markings and keeping a smile on her face. She is not very good at being malicious unless you actually attempt to harm a snake intentionally- it's sort of her berserk button. ...though she is not above whispering and suggesting that a snake 'lunge towards' particularly annoying people when she is showing off one of her pretties. She just doesn't -care- about people as much as she does her reptiles, and can occasionally lash out at people because she's frustrated.
Character Notes: Serendipity has the ability to speak to snakes and be understood by them, as well as the ability to understand snakes when they 'speak.' It doesn't always come across as something she could translate directly into English, sometimes it's more of an emotional state or some other subtle nuance- but she can understand it nevertheless. Some people might mistake what she does as being able to CONTROL snakes, but she can't. If one was bent on attacking her, she couldn't stop it- although it would make her very sad if a snake hated her -that- much, personally. The markings on her skin are not tattoos- she was born with them.
~RP Contest Entry for Serendipity~
"I speak snake, let me handle this~" Name of Pockettu if you win: Serendipity
Prompt Entry: Serendipity was convinced that if people could see things the same way that she did, than snakes wouldn't have such a bad reputation. Well, perhaps 'see' was the wrong word to use- 'perceive' maybe? 'Understand'? Words were complicated, so many little nuances... she'd trade them all in if she could see the world like snakes did. ...understand the world, she meant. Most of them really couldn't see all that well, after all. ...it's one of the things she liked about them- if they stared, it wasn't because they thought she was strange. She supposed that having human senses wasn't so bad all the time, though- it kept her from getting into predicaments like this poor fellow she'd come across had. One of the rides at the carnival had started to malfunction, and when they'd opened it up there was a large snake all coiled in the machinery- she'd pushed past the small crowd forming the moment she'd heard someone suggesting that they would have to kill him to get him out of the way. She normally wasn't so bold- but this was a -life- after all... She crouched down by the opened ride, peering into the metallic guts of the thing and neverminding the oil and grease that stained her long sleeves. It didn't take long for her to figure out what was going on, and she tsk'd and chided the snake about the dangers of getting into such places with some many people were around- her words coming in soft, breathy hisses that had meanings that she could put more as feelings than words as she unwound him from around the ride's machinery. 'I was cold,' he complained as she let him wrap around herself, and she answered mildly in his tongue, "But it's dangerous to sleep in a place like that." 'It was warm.' "I know." She strolled off, leaving behind the crowd. Did someone scream? She's pretty sure someone did as she brushed past them... ...she wondered, really, was that even -fair-. She's certain nobody else would be calling for blood if someone had found a cold kitten curled up asleep somewhere, no matter how inconvenient it was... Once she was far enough away from the bright lights and bustle of people, she let the serpent down, allowing him to slither off to parts unknown- to find somewhere warm. He flicked his tongue at her once, twice, testing her scent much like a person would take a backward glance at someone. 'Thanks," he murmured as he slid into the night. "You're welcome," she replied, even though he was long gone. She tamped back the urge to follow him into the darkness, but instead turned her feet back towards the bright lights- back to other people... supposedly like her. She'd be utterly lost in the dark anyway. ...just sometimes, she wished... Well, perhaps they would meet again someday. ...she just hoped that he wouldn't be climbing in any more rides.

Acquired: Avatar Contest - [Link To Avie Used Here] Name Meaning: Since she was based on an avatar I wore, I wanted to name her something close to 'Tellah' without actually using 'Tellah,' thus the close-sounding 'Tala.'
Home: A somewhat big doll-sized boardinghouse mostly occupied by followers of Venezia.
Concept Personality:Need to figure something out...
Acquired: Color Custom Name Meaning: I was originally going to call her 'Treasure,' but 'Trinket' meant roughly the same thing, plus it sounded a little more 'cute.' She's supposed to be a 'nice' character XD
Home: A somewhat big doll-sized boardinghouse mostly occupied by followers of Venezia. She is sort of oblivious, so she hasn't really noticed that she's surrounded by the followers of a certain god.
Concept Personality:Need to figure something out...
Acquired: (Surprise!) Quest Week Name Meaning: She's a drow, so she probably should have had a name fitting with a normal drow from AD&D... but she sort of wanted to leave a lot of her past life behind- so I reasoned that she would take an alias, and she sort of has a thing for spiders... XD
Powers: * Darkvision (not quite the infravision that drow usually enjoy, but she can see fairly well in all but absolute darkness). * Has a pendant that can detect that her brother, Recluse, is alive. * She can take control of Recluse and force him to do anything he is physically capable of doing- he has to be in the same area as her, and the pendant helps her focus this ability. (This ability cannot be inherited or transferred to any other Pockettu- it is strictly between Spinneret and Recluse. Furthermore, Spinneret cannot POSSIBLY replicate anything resembling it EVER again.)
Concept Personality:Need to copy out stuff here~
Acquaintances: * Recluse - No question, he's her younger brother- they've been close since before they became Pockettu. Technically they haven't met AS Pockettu, but the connection remains... Spin is sure he's around somewhere due to the unbroken connection she feels from the pendant she carries everywhere. * Antarmur'ss - Spin's lord, the god she follows. He offered her a place in his city and the possibility of having a purpose... so she's loyal to him like she never was to the drow's goddess. ...it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes. In a weird way having to follow a male god has probably mellowed Spin out a little, or at least lightened her inborn prejudices. * Alakvyll - A drider Spin met while walking home. She finds him terribly, terribly attractive and would love to get to know him even better. Considering her upbringing, she treats him rather well for a male acquaintance.
Acquired: Custom Name Meaning: He was once a normal drow, so he probably should have had a name fitting with a drow from AD&D... but his sister re-named him and he didn't have a particular attachment to his old name. His concept name was 'Widowmaker,' but I thought it would be too unweldy- so while he's much more black widow-themed than recluse-themed, it's still just a spider word. (Plus 'Spin' and 'Rec' sort of both remind me of records, which amuses me.)
Powers: * Darkvision (not quite the infravision that drow usually enjoy, but he can see fairly well in all but absolute darkness). * His spindly extra spider legs are as strong as his normal arms- he can dangle his full weight off even one of them for a limited amount of time. They also aid him in skittering up walls and other spidery goodness. He sometimes lacks fine control of his extra limbs if he's not paying attention to them, but he usually wouldn't derp and drop himself to the ground or anything. * He can spit up webbing- usually just a sticky ball of half-formed ick to paste something to something else temporarily or to slow down a pursuer, but occasionally a tangled ball of non-sticky silk.
Concept Personality:Need to copy out stuff here~
Acquaintances: * Spinneret - While he hasn't properly entered RP yet, well... Spin's his older sister. They're actually rather close for drow siblings- and you can assume that to some extent he's probably looking forward to reuniting with her.

Acquired: 'You remind me of a...' Trait Event ("Shrinking Violet") Name Meaning: ...she's wearing purple and she's inspired by the trait 'Shrinking Violet,' so I couldn't resist a name that contained 'Violet.'
Home: She has a room in the upper part of Bellerophon's antique dollhouse. She helps him run the shop in the house- mostly she makes tea for the customers and organizes things, but she occasionally runs the shop while Bellerophon is out.
Acquired: Raffle from a Coloring Stream Name Meaning: I wanted something that sounded fancy and complex, but also contained 'Bell,' and 'Bellerophon' just seemed to fit. It's the name of a hero from Greek mythology, but that part doesn't really have any special meaning for him.
Home: An antique dollhouse, which he claims possession of. He runs an antique shop that takes up some of the lower part of the house, and he makes his living restoring and re-selling Pockettu-sized odds and ends- though he tends towards 'high class' objects even amongst the hodge-podge.
