Okay, so I figure we should really start to do some things. Don't yell at me, I was a long week. (not really I was just lazy, yell at me xD)
Okay the first thing we should do is figure out our characters. We agreed to have our constellations be related to our zodiacs (Gemini and Libra), so here's a list of the constellations you can choose between for your character:
Gemini: Lynx, Auriga, Orion, Monoceros, Canis Minor
Libra: Serpens Caput, Hydra, Centaurus, Lupus
So maybe look them up, do a little research and choose the top 3 that you like best and we can really quickly figured something out. And then, we can being character building! (:

So playing around with each of the ideas and mythology behind each constellation I went and created inventory tekteks to see which options I liked best and also to give the other co-hosts ideas.
 Lynx (stealthy) Auriga (chariot inventor) Orion (the hunter) Monoceros (unicorn) Canis Minor (little dog) Serpens Caput (serpent's head) -there is a second part to this one, they are considered to be one constellation where the serpent weaves behind Ophiuchus-Hydra (serpent lion bird hybrid) Centaurus (centaur) Lupus (werewolf)
That's what I can do with what I currently have in my inventory. I honestly wouldn't mind being any of them but my preferred choices are:
1. Orion
2. Hydra
3. Canis Minor.

Thanks, Mishi, for both inspiration, and for reminding me that this needs to happen.
Okay! My top three, with what I think to be their personalities, are:
1. Lynx
Named "Lynx" because it was so faint, the discoverer thought it would take the eyes of a lynx to see, this constellation would be cold and distant, appearing and speaking only to those s/he thought were interesting.
Three notable stars in Lynx are called "the lynx", "the thorn", and "the outstretched paw", so although Lynx would be distant and cold, s/he would be very curious and determined to find everything about what piqued her curiosity. Much like a cat. She would also be quick to defend those who were her friends.
2. Auriga
Named "The Charioteer", this constellation is often associated with Hephaestus, he who invented the chariot. There are many heroes and emperors associated with this constellation and its stars, so s/he would be pretentious and often try to appear majestic. His/Her origins, however, lie with Hephaestus, whose pride comes from his skill, so Auriga would respect those who were skilled (or deserved respect) while seeking skill him/herself.
3. Serpens (Caput/Cauda)
As Mishi mentioned, this is a two-part constellation, being the head and the tail, separated by Ophiuchus. Kind of like being torn apart. I would place Serpens's personality as /after/ being torn apart (perhaps escaping from Ophiuchus's grip), so of course s/he would be fearful and nervous, not wanting to return to that sort of situation. S/he would take many measures to not be caught again, such as not easily trusting people, attempting to appear more powerful, and attempts to sabotage those s/he thought were too powerful.
Okay, enough giving constellations personalities.

Sorry that I'm just getting to this now. There's been a lot going on. Drumroll please ... 1. Centaurus -I'd probably go with the belief that Centaurus was Chiron, the great tutor to heroes such as Hercules and Jason, so basically he'd be a pretty knowledgeable guy ... horse-guy ... centaur ... whatever 2. Canis Minor -Very loyal and faithful to those he/she's friends with, a very likeable person, I'm thinking like a Labrador for some reason ... Idk 3. Auriga -For some reason ... there's goats in this one ... O.O (It actually was a part of a different constellation that was a goat herder, so go figure) In the Greek, Erichthonius(later Auriga) was the maker of the chariot, son of Hephaestus(god of metalworking,etc) and raised by Athena(goddesss of wisdom,courage,warfare,etc) it was a no brainer that he would come up with the chariot. Sometimes smart to the point that he overanalyzes, always coming up with new ideas, and very good with his hands.

No problem, Sari! (:
And now that we've got all 3 of you guy's character choices, so here are your characters!:
Mishi - Orion
Para - Lynx
Sari - Centaurus
Luckily, no one chose the same character, which made things a lot easier for me. xD
I'll set up a plot planning thread now, and we can discuss a little in regards of plot there. You guys should probably start thinking a little about character development, since I'll also be setting up that thread soon-ish. (:
