New AE and

New AE and Retired AEs

Okay! I am getting a new AE and retiring two. 

The first AE I'm retiring is Vo. He felt too similar to Chai, as well as Writing's AE, Oliver, so I am going to just have Chai be a bit fangirly sometimes, and keep the rest of her personality and some of Vo's. Sorry, Vo! Come visit sometimes :)

;Byeeee!;

And... Oh, this one's going to be hard.

I'm retiring Rogue. Rogue is one of my three original AEs, so I'm a bit sentimental about her. But this entire time, she's been hard to write, and hasn't had a concrete personality. She hasn't grown, and I just haven't learned anything about her. So, bye Rogue. We'll miss you. 

Bye. 

*a moment of silence for Vo and Rogue*

Why? It's not like we're dead or anything -

- SHHHH. 

And now for our new arrival, Callum (thanks to Writing for coming up with his name)!

Say hello, Callum! 

Hello, Callum. 

See, he's funny! Here's a form to get to know him:

Name: Callum, but if I'm not looking at you like I want to kill you then you can probably call me Cal. Just not Callie.

Pronouns: he/him

Age: he's like 15-16 

Appearance: olive skin, hair that's like sorta blonde and sorta brown (caramel colored, I guess), blue eyes and very expressive eyebrows. He's a little small for his age. No I'm not - oh whatever. I usually wear an eighties preppy style. I also wear round clear classes with no frames. He blushes a lot too - stop.

Personality: Callum's extremely smart and mature, and is above whatever childish antics everyone else always seems to be up to, thank you very much. He's a worrier, though he expresses this worry less like "oh, are you okay?" And more like, "what are you doing, you idiot, you're going to get yourself killed." He can be vulnerable, however, and, when his weaknesses are discovered, is easily embarrassed. Oh, and he has weirdly good comebacks? I wouldn't get on his bad side, he'll roast you-

Likes: being alone, listening to music, journaling, singing - n-no I don't! Aw, Cal, your voice is so cute when you're nervous, it gets all high! NO IT doesN'T - awww was that a voice crack? Moving on, please, I will finish this - I like art, watching Jeopardy!, and thinking about just about anything very deeply for a long time while staring out a window. That last one is oddly specific, but okay...

Dislikes: he gets really annoyed with people who ask an excessive amount of questions, he hates rhyming, dad jokes, rap music, country music, and geometry (he doesn't mind most other types of math though and actually really likes algebra) 

Other: whenever he's embarrassed or nervous, his voice gets a little more high pitched than usual and it cracks, plus he stutters. 

He's not open for shipping right now, but he is open to friend-shipping with just about anyone. And I think that's it! Everyone say hi to Callum!

back to the Chirp at Cricket

Pleased to meet ya Callum! I saw him on the avatar thread; nice design. :D

(the part about loving algebra but hating geometry though, why is that literally my life???)

Thank you! And yes, loving algebra but hating geometry is also my life.

Hiiii, Callum! :D What a wonderful name, if I do say so myself-

HIIIIIII! I'm Oliver, and I'm best friends with Chai, and you seem really smart??? I like you already-

*groan* I'm Alizabella, Aliza. And geomotry is much better than algebra.

#You're saying that like the geomotry you do is more than just naming shapes. *sigh* I'm Tempest, nice to meet you, I guess.# 

>Oh, come on, be nice! I apologize for my brother, Callum, he can be... Well. My name is Dawn, it's a pleasure.<

-Hm. You don't like dad jokes, you say? How dare you. Dad jokes are a work of art! I'm Cassidy, and I will FIND YOU, and fill your life with DAD JOKES SO HORRIBLE UNTIL YOU LIKE THEM! HAHA--

 

(Btw, if Callum ever opens to shipping, I think he and Ronin, an AE to be introduced probably next week, would be cute together :])

Hello, Oliver. Yes, Chai talks about you a lot. And I am smart. You seem... Lively. 
You're wrong, Aliza.
I'd say nice to meet you, too, Tempest, but the experience is really only mediocre. 

Ah, hello, Dawn. Chai talks about you a lot too. 

And as for you... I put on my noise-cancelling headphones the moment you said "dad joke." So I didn't catch your name. 

*~That's Cassidy. They're a great artist.~*
Hmm.
(And I'd definitely be open to that! Could they start off as friends for a bit, though, just so I can get to know Callum as a character a bit better, and then maybe end up being shipped?)

(Ofc! I totally understand, I know it's kind of hard to put a character into a relationship when you don't know much about them yet :])

Congratulations on making Callum! :)

My AEs want to say--

HI! I'm Magnolia. I like sugar, cake, flowers, and playing at the playground with Asher! AND ECHO MAKES CAAAALVIN COME WITH US BECAUSE WE'RE TOO YOUNG.

%'Tis a chore, and is also a bore. My name is Calvin. I have brown hair and light green eyes. I wear square glasses. I have lightly tanned skin and freckles.% 

Hello, I'm Lyra. I have greenish teal hair and greenish teal eyes. I have pale skin and some freckles with pink cheeks. And, Hawthorne and I used to watch Magnolia and Asher all the time, but you're old enough to watch them, Cal. Actually, it was usually me watching them.

<Hey! Actually, I have to admit that's true. Sorry, Ly.>

It's fine.

$H-hi, I'm Asher. Nice to meet you! *polite smile*$

AHEM. I was saying that they wanted to say HI, but I guess they already DID that. Hmph.

~MRRRROW. MROW! GBFCR! MRRRROW!~

No, I will not translate that, Charles McCharles. He's our CAPTCHAE cat, by the way.

Very... Loud. 

Calvin. Hm. Too close to Callum for my liking. I've got my eye on you.

AND HIS NICKNAME IS CAL? THAT'S MY NICKNAME-

*deep breath*

Well, it is a pleasure to meet all of you. More or less, anyway.
