--I've started another journal without finishing two others.
I will, I swear. This is pretty much just a random fact-dump about my characters and story-verse. I've finally figured out that RR is smarter than me, in that she actually dates the updates to her journals. This journal, for sure, is one that will be added on to from time to time, and I'll add update-dates to my two other journals, two.
Note, these facts are figurative. For example, Archiexal has never eaten chocolate, but figuratively, he doesn't like it.
FUN FACTS:
~Archiexal can purr.
~Jacijikirik's favorite fruits are plums and peaches.
~Jaci is a fraternal triplet (or, by dog terms, has two litter-mates). He is also engaged to his aunt-half-sister (he's terrified of her, and rather sick at heart by all the inbreeding in his family, which is why he fled from home).
~Archexal sleeps on his stomach.
~According to Tritres' landowner contract, as a tenant living in her house, Lirenhrvez is obligated to attend every single Crespurotor race in which she participates.
~Liren is over a hundred and fifty years old (but developmentally, he's still considered quite young for a cambion).
~Arch's parents really, REALLY wanted a girl, so when he was born, they didn't have a guy-name ready, and so kept calling him girl-names (they couldn't decide, so he went by Firalyn and Arlanhel until they finally settled on Archiexal as his "proper" name when he was about four, or something). In fact, his grandmother, Fefe, still calls him "Fifi". So does Tritres, but he gets kind of fussy about it.
~By a technicality, Archiexal is a "prince", and in line to inherit two different thrones. However, one kingdom no longer exists, and the other is so fractured it might as well not exist either (His maternal grandfather was related to a royal house, and his father was of a noble house).
~Tritres is blue all over and breathes through her skin, so she likes damp environments.
~As an amphibian-thing, she does not have mammary glands (she does have breasts, which are there as fat deposits more than anything else) nor does she experience a menstrual cycle.
~All of the birds (male and female) don't have nipples and do not menstruate.
~Along the same lines, all reptiles don't either.
~Archiexal can, like Perrizgn and Veradris, transform into an animal state. However, it's a great deal more forced, and for Arch, the process is excruciatingly painful and instead of a second or two, takes several minutes. Any faster, and he'd be screaming in agony as his body crunches itself into a different shape.
~Perrizgn has a giant crush on Tatlan.
~Iixage is able to talk, but is very shy about speaking.
~Arch and Tritres met when they were apprenticed to the same mechanic. They were both about six or seven years old.
~Tritres and Liren met when he crash-landed through her garage door and wrecked her Crespurotor. She was working late into the night, so predictably she freaked out when he staggered to his feet and half of his torso fell off of his body and onto the floor. He apologized, then flew back outside to the sounds of screaming and gunfire, leaving behind one of his arms and what appeared some of his ribs and internal organs on her floor. She couldn't just leave it there, so she popped it into the freezer. Several days later, he came back completely regenerated to a completely repaired garage, snuck inside, fished out his torso from the freezer, and was promptly caught in the act of eating it by Tritres. Needless to say, after the initial bout of "totally flipping out", they struck up a rather peculiar friendship.
~Tritres still doesn't know what Liren does for a living. She's decided it's better not to ask.
~Liren can easily regenerate any part of his body (including his head), given that he consumes enough suitable organic matter (i.e. other people, like arms/legs/guts/blood/bone) to make up for the lost material. He's quite efficient, and as he often has to consume more than what is weight-by-weight lost (his body must convert the different flesh to his own specialized bone/flesh structure), tries to recover lost body parts and, well, "recycle". He tries his best not to lose any body parts, as it's quite troublesome to function without a limb, even for a short while.
~Archiexal likes minty things.
~Archiexal has an extremely limited ability to taste sugar. It has to be deathly sweet for him to taste it, and by that point, it's pretty much poison. As a result, he isn't really fond of sweets, since he can't taste them. He likes fruit, though.
~Archiexal really dislikes citrusy-things.
~Archiexal can do that angry-kitty hissy thing, if he so desires. He has some difficulties with barking.
~Jaci likes to smoke. It's not detrimental to his health (since his high body temperature can isolate and contain poisons in his liver). He also, at times, likes to psych people out by chugging bleach AND ammonia at the same time, and then frustrate them by burping heartily and walking away totally unscathed.
~The downside to Jaci's apparent invulnerability to poisons is that if his body temperature drops below a certain level, he no longer has the ability to maintain that biological barrier, and will die from the accumulated rush of various toxins into his bloodstream. It's an unpleasant way to die, but on the plus-side, he can hack up toxic smoke into someone's face whenever he wants and poison them too.
~Jaci can also spit out a black, tar-like substance that actually functions very much like tar. This is one of the ways he can remove toxins from his body, besides exhaling smoke, through defecation, sweat, or simply "burning it out".
~Jaci can breathe and is immune to fire, but he cannot manipulate it.
~Lirenhrvez and Jacijikirik are, quite literally, partners in crime, and are good friends.
~Jaci is filthy rich. He is also "smokin' hot" in more ways than one.
~Liren generally requests payment in units of organic matter (flesh please, and preferably fresh).
~Archiexal has no idea what Liren does for a living either, but he has tried to find out, to no avail.
~Jaci can be a bit of a crybaby, but he's very handy with guns (not as much as Liren is, though).
~If they weren't enemies, Perrizgn and Corxia probably would have been BFFS ("Since Marbled Polecats and Knysna Turacos are the best, duh!" "Kowkow, that's right!" wink , like, seriously.
~For a Crow, Veradris is surprisingly fluffy and not all that sleek.
~Fefe (Archiexal's maternal grandmother) is a magical seamstress.
~Archiexal has had no formal magic training.
~In a city so darn big and hodgepodge, the likelihood of finding another member of your specific species of the opposite gender and actually hitting it off with him/her/it is low enough that mixed-species children abound (geez, look at Arch and Tritres), and, given that lifespans lean towards the short and dramatic, homosexual relationships are not uncommon, and are actually about the same as heterosexual relationships. Since there aren't exactly ways around infertility but ways around gender (magic, surgery, technology, physical transmogrification) , children resulting from male-male/female-female unions make up roughly the same proportion of the population as regularly born children.
~While Jaci and Archiexal prefer warm, dry climates, Tritres likes damp environments (warm-ish, but cold is ok) and Liren leans towards the cold and dry.
~Tritres is a horrible dancer. Her singing cannot be called good.
~Jaci pops by Tritres' garage every now and then just to lightheartedly squabble with her.
~Archiexal and Jaci have excellent night vison while Tritres has passably decent night vison and Liren sees well enough at night that it might as well be daytime.
~Archiexal's and Jaci's eyes reflect light at night but Tritres' and Liren's do not.
~Archiexal is very partial to belly rubs and scratches behind the ear (or just petting in general), but he's very reluctant to share these facts with anyone (Fefe knows since she's his grandmother, and Tritres is practically his sister).
~Jaci loves petting and so such even more than Arch does, but he's he's too proud to submit to just ANYONE's under-the-chin-scratch. How undignified!
