NAME: Charlie W.

SPECIES: Human (Homo sapiens)

JOB/TITLE: Sprocketville, Southwest Kyngdom

APPEARANCE: Tall for his age (13), average build, curly dark brown hair always needs a haircut (except right after he gets one)

PERSONALITY: Never the first to speak up, but always the first to notice something

HOME: His parents' house, which his mom likes to say has the most natural light of any underground bunker in Sprocketville, thanks to its many skylights

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The machinist wing of the Cypher Labs dormitory, where he lives on a hall with the other gear-nerds. Needless to say it's not the cleanest wing in the building.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Dr. Sheepshank was the first adult he felt really took him seriously.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Marcus R., the best machinist at Cypher--and a full year younger than Charlie.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His titanium sprocket wrench set, a 13th birthday gift from Dr. Sheepshank.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Er, did you try hitting it with a hammer?

STRENGTHS: Inventiveness--at age 8, he built a working dishwasher from scratch.

WEAKNESSES: Confidence--he has trouble standing up for himself sometimes.

BACKGROUND: Charlie grew up in Sprocketville, a small bunker town in Southwest Kyngdom. He was lonely there, since there weren't many other kids around--but that gave him plenty of time to tinker with the smashed-up machines that lined all the roads in town. After he built an entirely new set of household appliances from scratch, word spread across Kyngdom. Eventually, Dr. Sheepshank recruited him to be part of the Cypher Labs team. His parents were sad to see him go, but he didn't think twice: this was his big break.

I may be adding a charrie who lives in Olde Windswood or the Great Forest most of the time, even though her home is technically in New Windswood. If I do, can she maybe live with you?

Also, is Cypher Labs on BIG's or FAFA's side?

NAME: Kathleen M

SPECIES: Human

JOB/TITLE: Gear, Northwest Kyngdom

APPEARANCE: Tall for her age (12), with really long, curly brown hair and two different colored eyes (green and blue) and has the look of a shy doe.

PERSONALITY: Shy, but crazy smart, with a passion for clockwork, the violin, and the history of the Kyngdom.

HOME: A ledge that hangs over the river Shij, where she can hear the Kijja wolves howling at night.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The Gear Library, with exactly six books and three clocks around her at her table.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: The Head Librarian of The Gear Library, who teaches her how to speak up.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Lissity Feliz, the boisterous ancestor of the famed Gear Revolutionized, the man who founded Gear.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: Her violin with a clock on the fingerboard

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "Let's see... if you multiply x by pi and put it in the key of A flat..."

STRENGTHS: She has a really good heart, and can easilly tell the difference between right or wrong.

WEAKNESSES: Her shyness, sometimes she can't communicate her ideas across.

BACKGROUND: After being orphaned at age four, she quickly withdrew to a place that she and her father went in her early days, a cave which they called Clock Cave, for the mysterious clockwork drawings on the walls. When she did emerge, it was to go into the town for food, new clock parts, and for the library, where she met Edna, the Head LIbrarian. When she started to work with clock parts, Edna, amazed by her unusual brain, sent the results to the Scientific Institution, where they were amazed, but allowed her to stay in Gear. But Kathleens reastless spirit caught up with her, and she began wondering what would be next for her...

Um....... Actually, according to the laws of JK Rowling, your character can't be an Animagus. An Animagus is not something you're born into (maybe you were thinking of a Metamorphmagus?). An Animagus is an advanced wizard or witch who succeeds in performing an extremely complex spell that allows them to change into a specific animal. A seven-year-old untrained witch could not pull it off. Also, Gryffindor? Parents dead? Draco Malfoy as an enemy? Your character is a Harry Potter rip off if I've ever saw one. Plus, Kyngdom is not Harry Potter. If you want to participate in a Harry Potter Role Play, there are others places for that in the Inkwell!

Wow, calm down. She can pretend if she wants... You are right about the animagus thing, but this is not a place to pick on people.

Here's the other charrie I promised:


Name: Sylene Moonwish
Species: Cat girl (the anime term for it)
Job/Title: Doesn't have one. She thinks ALL humans are against animals like B.I.G.
Appearance: Middle length blonde hair, white cat ears, white paws, white feathery tail, tanish skin, grey/blue/green eyes.
Personality: Not afraid to scratch someone with her claws, kind, sarcastic, smart.
Home: A small rock cave with ferns covering the entrance.
Most often seen at: A ledge in her cave which has books, drawing utensils, and a notepad. She enjoys drawing and reading, and sleeps on the ledge as well.
Friend or Mentor: Friends with Triss, taught herself everything that she really knows. She's still as young as Triss.
Enemy or Rival: Cheryl Kittens. I'M a big cat.
Favorite possession or object: Her notepad and a chain with a crystal teardrop on it. Her mother gave them to her before she died of pneumonia.
Motto or favorite saying: Think.
Strengths: Climbing. She gets extra grip from her claws.
Weaknesses: Water, catnip, and baby animals getting hurt (mostly felines).
Background: Her father is a cat. He ran off and didn't come back, leaving her mother alone to take care of her. Soon after, her mother died of pneumonia and B.I.G tried to take Sylene for examining... Sylene managed to escape by picking the lock on her cage with her claws and also freeing a few more cats (mostly kits) before she had to run. Then she met Triss, who helped her find her home.
Swift says "newh." Yup. A new charrie!

(February 3, 2016 - 12:55 pm)

NAME: Annaline McDulcey

SPECIES: Human (Homo sapiens).

APPEARENCE: About 14 years old, tall, spindly. Has place skin, slim wrists and long fingers that always smell like soap. She has a slim, pale face with a beaky nose and dull brown eyes with long, fluttery black eyelashes. Her hair is a dirty yellow that she wears in four braids, two in the front and two right next to her face. The braids are so long that they drag on the floor everywhere she goes and are tied off with thick silk black ribbons (see FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT). Her feet are calloused and almost always sore (see HOME). 

PERSONALITY: During the day, she is quiet and obedient. She only speaks when spoken to. At night she gets dreadfully homesick and sons like a wounded animal. She's downright terrified of the scientists at BIG but most terrified of all by Cornelia Hornshaw.

HOME: Although she technically lives in the servant's quarters at BIG Headquarters, she still considers her home as her parent's cabin in Melancholy Moor, over 8,000 miles from BIG. Her feet are so sore because she walked all the way to the job interview, all the way back home, and then again to BIG when her application was accepted.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: BIG Headquarters in general, as she spends her days making sure it stays spotless.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Julian Wilder, a boy who lived in Melancholy Moor and was her best friend growing up. They had a fight when she told him about her job at BIG and she hasn't seen him since. 

ENEMY OR RIVAL: She doesn't really have one. No one would pick a fight with a cleaning girl, they'd to easily win.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: The black ribbons she wears in her hair. They were a parting gift from her parents when she left for BIG.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Yes, Ms. Hornshaw. Right away, Ms. Hornshaw.

STRENGTHS: She can be very determined and persistent.

WEAKNESSES: She has no physical strength and is so afraid of Cornelia Hornshaw and BIG that she would never disobey them. If they ordered her to chop of her braids and burn her ribbons, she would do it. 

BACKGROUND: Annaline was born in Melancholy Moor to her two penniless parents. The family owned a small plot of land and ate the MoorMoss that grew there, but Annaline father got sick when she was seven and they sold their land to pay for medicine. They survived as best they could on the remaining money, but it eventually ran out when Annaline was 12. Neither of her parents worked and her father never recovered fully from the Moor Malady, so Annaline walked to BIG to interview for a job. She was accepted as a cleaning maid and her mother gave her the family heirloom, four black silk ribbons. Annaline worked at BIG ever since, but once when she was refused dinner she snuck out and wandered around looking for a morsel. She ended up at the Bog & Burrow Inn, where she happened upon a group of animal spies that, upon finding that she worked at BIG, offered her a large sum of money to spy for them there. The money tempted her, but fear eventually won out and she declined, going back to BIG's servant's quarters and beating herself for her naughtiness.

Hi Allie! I was bored last night, and I remembered your charrie and suddenly I knew exactly what she looked like. Luckily, I had my sketchbook and a pen on hand, so I drew her a few times before I forgot. I didn't get it quite right, but if you want me to and if I can figure out how, I'll post the pictures here. It also inspired me to draw everyone else's charries, although I've only done a few so far.

NAME: Mere Bullbrook

SPECIES: Otter

JOB/TITLE: Captain of the Estuary Guard

APPEARANCE: Mere is a tall, strong-framed otter. She usually wears earth-tone tunics and a sash-belt with numerous pouches, some of which contain herbs, while others contain slingstones.

PERSONALITY: Mere is usually easygoing, and kind to young creatures. But when those she loves are threatened, she can go into an almost Bloodwrath-like rage. She’s rather friendly, but unwilling to become close to people, after her mother left, and the falling out with Isador.

HOME: Holt Stronghorn, the Eastern Estuary, east of Meek Peak

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Lioncreek Falls

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Bear the Wanderer, the Estuary’s resident badger

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Isador Wren, a former friend, and Grimjaw IV, a particularly vicious pike that has been terrorizing the young beasts at the Estuary

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: Her quarterstaff, which belonged to Bear in their wandering days. It’s made of wood, and has a paw carved of fishbone at the top.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: “Dinnae fear, Mere’s ‘ere!”

STRENGTHS: Physically strong; skilled with the quarterstaff and sling; slow to anger

WEAKNESSES: once enraged, extremely difficult to calm down; issues with abandonment; unlikely to make good friends

BACKGROUND: Mere was raised in Holt Stronghorn, the holt of the Bullbrook Estuary otters. Her mother, Yolia Ramriver, was a wanderer, and didn’t stay in the holt for more than a month. Mere’s grandfather, Feyul Bullbrook, was the captain of the guard before her. Her father, Ryun, is an excellent seabeast, and he is often away in other lands with the Sea Crew. The estuary otters are friendly with the corvids, so when Little Crow flew over in distress, Mere, and a few others of the guard, immediately volunteered to help however they could.

Are you a Redwall fan? The Bloodwrath thing and Mere's dialect tipped me off. Also the appearance description sounds like one you would find in an unwritten book in the series.
