Soul History: In Fern's past life, she was the annoying cockatiel that lived close by to Lillian and Tyson. Her owner was a women who was addressed as Madam. This already hoisted Fern's ego up towards the clouds. Not to mention she was cared for like a princess. This little cockatiel had it all. In her large and beautiful cage housed dozens of mirrors and toys. All day long Fern was able to look at herself in the mirror and play with her expensive things.

The cockatiels most favorite thing to do was to sing. Her owner allowed the little bird to sing to her hearts content. Always complimenting her pet after every song and giving her some kind of treat.

This was surely the good life for Fern. The clever little bird even knew how to open and close her cage. She could fly all about her luxerious home without a care in the world. Singing to her heart's comtempt and being pampered to the days end. She was living the life of a princess, well, in a birds point of view.

Of course, poor Fern had to put up with the two noisy children next door. Lillian and Tyson were their names...the brats never quit talking and were always up to something. Her Madam hated those little monsters but allowed them into her gracious house anyways. They always dragged in dirt and wanted to pet dear little Fern with their messy hands.

Those little brutes were the ones that gave Fern her death. Atleast, that is what she thought.

One day when the two had entered Madam's house. The girl gave Madam some flowers they must have been growing in that greenhouse of theirs. When Fern's owner turned to take the flowers into the other room, the girl followed but the boy went to the little cockatiel.

That little brat opened the window! He told her something, but of course she couldn't understand ape! She was a songbird! Apes are inferior to her and she didn't need to waste her time with him.

After the boy walked off to follow after his sister and Madam, Fern slipped out of her cage. She may be royalty but she was still curious of the outside world.

Without further thought she flew out the window and into the dangerous world.

Fern flew about for quite sometime, looking over Durem and Barton Town. So many things to see! So many people needed to hear her songs! She would grace them with her presence once she found a good spot to land.

Poor Fern landed in the wrong spot, at the wrong time. While she readied herself to sing to the people, a cat had found her. These beasts were unfamilliar to Fern so she took no mind to it. Until it was right on her tail.

Fern flew off in a hurry, but could not get off the ground in time. That awful cat had got her and it all faded away.

((bah, I'll redo that when I get the time. I hope you all get the point though. Sorry it kept switching back and fourth between my thoughts and Ferns.))

How Lil and Ty found her soul: After recieving a fel essence and a soul bottle the brother and sister pair quickly began thinking of what belonged in the soul bottle.

Lillian did research and tried to think of rational things, while Tyson ran about placing the soul bottle and fel essence anywhere about their home. He even placed it by his hamster, Tony, a few times. Marmaduke as well was one to have the bottle placed by while he was asleep.

Of course, Lillian was running right after him and picking up the bottle. Placing it back where it belonged, safe in her room.

One day, while the two were getting ready for a soul hunt. Marmaduke, who was growing jealous due to the little attention he was recieving from the two, took off with the fel essence and soul bottle in his mouth.

The lumpering great dane ran all about Durem and even Barton Town. Lillian and Tyson trying to keep up with their quick dog, hoping with each step that he wouldn't break it.

Marm finally gave up when they reached the outside quarters of Barton Town, where the siblings stumbled upon Fern. Lillian decided, since it was obvious that the poor thing was dead, that they should try and see if her soul could be gathered into the soul bottle.

Indeed, Fern's cockateil soul developed in the bottle. Lillian and Tyson staying around till the bottle was filled with the wispy yellow clouds.

Tyson was pretty disappointed since this cockateil was no cool and neato being. Lillian assured him that it was the right thing to do though, since she had gone missing during their visit to Madam's home. (more to be added or changed later. This is just an idea of what could happen. I really don't know for sure. Just thinking and writing at the sametime.)

Fel Essence(s) sad very small descriptions right now)
Neverending Light: A spot found high up in a tree that never seemed to loose it's light. Even when the sun left the sky, and there was no moon in sight, a light was always peeking out from the tree. As if it was a lighthouse for the beings of nature. The sun blessing the tree with everlasting light. Small rays of it have been collected now.

Defied Gravity: Touching the spot of defied gravity, you are able to loose your grasp with earth. You are able to fly freely as long as you remain in contact with the defied gravity.

Floating Feather: Said to have been dropped by an ancient and not extinct bird. It has never touched the ground, never in all it's centuries that it has floated about the world. There are a few scattered about the world, but they are difficult to catch.

Bird Calls of the Ages Pearl: These small pearls are found in various places across the globe where birds reside. They lie in wait for centuries(? might become decades), taking in all the calls that are sung around them. Then, every hundred(or 50?) a bird in the area where the pearl rests scoops it up and brings it to a secret hideaway where all the birds can gather to combine the pearls together to create a giant pearl that contains all the songs of every bird. ((I sort of like this one, more to be added/changed as I think it over.))

((uck...all so bad...I know! Sorry!))

Okay! Fern is...so-so done. I still have things to work on with her. Onto the next two! I'll come back to her when I've made more success.

Lillian and Tyson's spot.

Occupation: Local Lifeguard, she also helps her little brother deliver papers and run errands.
Tid Bits: Lillian was alittle afraid of dismissing their nanny, yet she didn't want the woman to live out the rest of her days taking care of them. So she took the job of caring for her little brother into her own hands. Worried? Nah, she could handle it. Confident? Of course! Once Lillian makes her mind up on something she will make sure that it is accomplished, even if it takes a while to fulfill. She has watched out for her little brother since he was really little, so it couldn't be that hard. All she had to do was make sure Tyson had the esstentials as well things to make him happy. After caring for him, the only other thing she would have to do was make sure the house was kept up to date. As time wears on though she secretly admits to herself that caring for a family is a lot of work, especially for a sixteen year old. For now though she'll keep trudging through the obstacles, even as they grow and toughen overtime.

Name: Tyson H. Maevin
Nickname: Ty
Age: 8
Height: 4'9"
Weight: 72 lbs.
Appearance: Tall for his age, and built like an average child. Basically his physical appearance is the same as his sister, but he's shorter, has thicker eye brows, and his hair is cut short in length compared to hers. Like his sister, he too looks a few years older due to his height. Unlike her though he can't keep a charade up of his age once he starts talking due to his voice and his way of speaking.
Likes: Superheroes! Gum, Video games, TV, his sister(sometimes), Doodles, Magical things, stories, being told stories, building booby traps, adventures, weird things, comfy clothes, confronting a "villian".
Dislikes: Villians! Hugs, kisses, his sister always telling him what to do, being bossed around, failing in things, losing in games, cooties.
Personality: Fun-loving, Loud, Confident, Sweet, Mischevious, Obnoxious, loving.
Negative traits: Stubborn, Blunt, Speech problems, Hot head, Gets frustrated easily, Can be rude.
Occupation: Delivers papers, runs errands for people. The errands and the little side jobs do not require too much work for an eight year old.((Lillian made sure of that before he signed up for the jobs.))
Tid Bits: Tyson was unsure of his sister's choice in letting it just be him and her in the house. She did tell him that their nanny was growing old and it would be nice of them to let her leave. Her confidence and positive attitude rubbed off on him so now he trusts that his sister knows what she's doing.

Name: Marmaduke G. Maevin
Nickname(s): Marm, Duke
Age: 2
Appearance: A Great-Dane, spotted black, white, and gray. Is a really big dog for his head reaches up to Tyson's shoulder.
Personality: Loving, Playful, Does not like new people, Cowardly though when he actually has to confront something instead of standing at a distance and growling at it.
Reason he's here: After Lillian and Tyson got used to their new life with just the two of them. The two missed the extra body in the house, and also felt frightened at the thought of burglars. So, one day Lillian took Ty out to the pound and they found this dog. Both were amazed at the size of him. Tyson was even able to ride the large dog around their home once they got back. Lillian tried to teach him how to be a good guard dog and to protect the family, but she utterly failed. On the night Duke could have proven himself, when their house was burglarized. Due to the carelessness on Lil's and Ty's part, Marmaduke ran for cover under the kitchen table. Not stopping the robber as they took somethings from the house. Lillian and Tyson have now resorted to other ways of protecting their house from any further intrusions, but kept Marmaduke around since the lumpering beast grew on them.
Occupation: Tyson uses Marmaduke as a helper when he has to do errands and run through his paper route. He hitches the dog up to his wagon while he hands out the papers. This usually occurs when Lillian is busy with her own job.
Take into Account: Marm is a big dog who is a lovable dolt when he is around people he likes. He is known to break things, so if you have anything valuble and you know Marm will be showing up, hide it! He's also a strong dog who is known to drag the kids around and sometimes gets loose, usually when Tyson is with him.


Bit of History: Lillian and Tyson come from a family of adventurers. What an exciting family to be in, eh? Not exactly...Their parents are always off traveling the world of Gaia, taking pictures to send to traveling magazines. This normally leaves the two children on their own. They are funded wonderfully, but what good is money if you do not have parents to spoil you with it?

As they were growing up, absent of their parents presence, they did have a nanny. As the children grew, the little old nanny aged and Lillian knew she wouldn't be able to take care of them for long. So once she turned sixteen she decided she could handle things without the old woman. As a farewell gift, Lillian bought the kind woman a lovely home in the tropics of Gaia. Where she could spend the rest of her days happily in the place of her dreams.

With their nanny gone, two kids have been left to take care of themselves in their new home that they moved into a month before Lillian's sixteenth birthday. Lillian tries to do a good job at taking charge and keeping her little brother in line. She makes sure he keeps up with his schoolwork, and also works on his speech with him. Lillian also goes to school yet her focus is more on the life she has decided to create for her brother and herself.

Their parents do send a good amount of money to their children, as well as money for their nanny which they do not know was dismissed a while ago. They also handle the taxes Lillian and Tyson recieve. Lillian never forgets to send the awful things to them either. She may be secretly handling the lives of her brother and herself, but she has no idea how to handle the taxes that are sent to her mailbox. So, their parents are good for a few things.

Recently Tyson decided to start helping his sister more by delivering papers and running errands for the locals. Lillian appreciates the help and the extra money that flows into their bank account. Her lifeguarding job pays well, yet she does recieve a few more dollars when helping Tyson whenever he get's a lot to deliver in a small amount of time. Lillian saves up their extra money for other things that they want rather than what the need. Their booby trap material was another little thing that needed money to pay for.

Due to a break in the brother and sister experienced a few weeks after being alone they've begun adding on to the houses old security system with their own inventions. Booby traps have been set up all around the house, making it a difficult place to manuver around if you do not know where the two placed their "burglar catching" contraptions.

So if you ever plan on visiting them in their home, make sure you request a map. The map will come in handy since it points out all the spots where not to step in. You'll regret just showing up and in a matter of minutes find yourself in the depths of a hole or risen high up in the trees tied dangling about thanks to a trusty tie around your ankle.

I think I'll put something here.

Something will be here...
