I'll start:

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 guess I should fill out the sheet for my character that I started writing for without really thinking about. :)

NAME: Amaya, last name unknown at the moment

SPECIES: Human (homo sapiens)

JOB/TITLE: Scientist, currently working for Catastrophe, but doesn't actually support him... she isn't positive who exactly she does support

APPEARANCE: Dark, curly hair that she keeps in braids; short and slim; small features; average-looking and can disappear pretty well into a crowd

PERSONALITY: Shy, but will speak up if she has something important to say; very curious and finds her curiosity the best way of connecting with people

HOME: She wanders.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Wherever her workplace is at the moment. Currently, the lab at Catastrophe's base, where she's studying the (fake) Power of... something I can't remember at the moment. Hoof, maybe?

FRIEND OR MENTOR: A woman named Marya who took her in and taught her after her parents died

ENEMY OR RIVAL: She isn't actually sure who she's opposing; she would probably say Catastrophe, but she doesn't have anything against him specifically

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: Her diary, given to her by Marya when she was little, which she writes in often and pours her heart out to, as some might say

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: The less you speak, the more you learn.

STRENGTHS: Quick mind, curiosity 

WEAKNESSES: Shyness, tendency to avoid hard topics and speaking in general

BACKGROUND: Amaya's parents died when she was very, very young under mysterious circumstances. She was taken in by Marya, a kindly old neighbor who taught her how to observe and learn things about the world. When she was fifteen, the town burned down, and she never saw Marya again. Since then, she's wandered everywhere, searching for jobs as a scientist wherever they might be.

Yay, update time. I'm currently in the stage of toying with fake names. Not sure if she's going to immediately have a fake name, or adopt it later in life. If her transition from decency to, well, antagonism, happens over the time-skip, then she could begin using a fake name in the second plot (if she appears before the second plot). 

Corrections: When I wrote 'legal group', I didn't mean like...a legal group. No, I don't mean she's a lawyer or something, I meant that if she were to lead her own group (which obviously might not happen due to SMA(LL)), it would be legally recognized by the government as doing nothing wrong.

I'm still stuck on what exactly she is going to be, so... more work here. I might choose an already existent species.

Homo Aquarians have longer than normal life spans and they age a bit slower, if you want her to be one of them. That could also explain why she would want animals and humans to be kept seperate. She could blame animals and humans being togetehr as the cause of why she was mutated.

With the help of Hazel's guide (Thanks for that! I've found it hard to navigate Kyngdom without it!) I've decided to join in the action! 

Name: Rook

Species: Black-billed magpie (Pica Hudsonia)

Job/Title: Free Agent working for anyone against BIG or Catastrophe.

Appearance: Surprisingly large for a magpie, with curly feathers. Mostly black, with a cream underbelly and some blue-black feathers on his back. One of his talons(is that the right word for a magpie's claw/foot/toenail/whatever?) is broken.

Personality: A creative, sarcastic, and outgoing bird with a major wanderlust.

Home: He doesn't really have a home right now. He really just wanders wherever adventure takes him, which is often wherever the fight to protect Kyngdom is.

Most often seen at: Anywhere, really. I guess he spends the most time in the Great Forest.

Friend or Mentor: He recieved a lot of advice from an old raven named Clark before he started his big adventures.

Enemies: Really anyone who wants to destroy Kyngdom, as well as BIG. His parents were taken by BIG when he was a hatchling, so he especially hates them.

Favorite posession or object: His wings, for sure. 

Favorite Saying: Welp, I'd best be off! 'Til next we meet! *Meaningless squawk*

Strengths: He's excellent at remaining unseen and unheard, and is also quite a fast flier.

Weaknesses: He hates staying still. He's constantly fidgeting around.

Background: Rook was born in the Great Forest of Northwest Kyngdom. When he was only a month old, his parents were captured. He would later find out that they were used as a part of the B.I.G. program. He learned to fend for himself, staying still and foraging for food at a very young age. His life was mostly saved by an old bird named Clark, who helped him survive the first few years and give him advice. As he grew, he grew more and more tired of standing still watching, and so eventually decided to spread his wings and fly wherever the wind took him. Through his time travelling, he has learned much of the world, and now realizing Kyngdom could be in danger, he has decided to focusing his efforts on being where he's needed in order to help stop its destruction.

NAME: Eryx Wevern

SPECIES: Witchborn

JOB/TITLE: Prince of Merchants, Lord Eryx Wevern

APPEARANCE: He has raven black hair with a slight curl to it and deep blue eyes, he is slightly taller than average and he has a very slight frame. He often wears a blue shirt rolled up to his elbows with finely made black pants and boots made of soft leather. He has a small crown made of silver that, when he’s not wearing, he keeps in his bag.

PERSONALITY: He is a kind person with a heart of gold, though he has a tendency to take on everyone’s problems and overwork himself. He feels like he isn’t doing enough for everyone so he will sometimes spiral into sadness and he will plaster a fake smile on, though his shoulders will slump and his eyes will be devoid of all emotion.

HOME: Gelian Manor

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The Kesli Forests

FRIEND OR MENTOR: His mentor is a man named Adlin, his two best friends are Abraxis and Conall

ENEMY OR RIVAL: TBD

BACKGROUND: Merchant prince of the small town Gelian

~~~

NAME: Abraxis

SPECIES: Human

JOB/TITLE: Guard

APPEARANCE: He’s a brown haired and grey eyed person, with tanned skin anda disturbing stillness about him. He’s very tall and muscular and, when not in his suit of fae crafted leather with his helmet under one arm, he wears a simple grey shirt and brown pants.

PERSONALITY: He seems cold but he cares, too much. He puts up a wall of stone but inside that cold fortress is a person who cares about everything, from his friend getting a papercut to a random glare.

HOME: Disil Keep

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Following right behind Eryx, keeping him from getting in trouble or hurting himself.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Lord Eryx, Conall

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His sword, which he keeps in a sheath fitted down the groove of his back and his knife, tucked away at his side.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: *sigh of the long suffering*

STRENGTHS: He’s very strong and good in a fight, he’s also very intimidating.

WEAKNESSES: Doesn’t like magic very much, he puts up with it but it brings back bad memories and he will protect his friends with his life.

BACKGROUND: He was sent to a war camp and trained by a group of lesser fae, when he was sent back he acted like a fae and the villagers treated him like he would hurt them, they only people who treated him the same were Eryx and Conall.

~~~

NAME: Conall, he doesn’t have a real last name so he uses Songbird instead

SPECIES: Mageling

JOB/TITLE: Mage of Gelian, Musician of Gelian

APPEARANCE: Honey blonde hair and dark red eyes with what seem to be small runes around his iris. He is very short and has a small and delicate frame, he wears a long sleeved brown shirt with red markings on the shoulders, elbows, and forearms with dark brown pants and black shoes.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT:  Dragon’s head inn

FRIEND OR MENTOR: His best friends are Abraxas and Eryx

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Fullborn mages

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His violin and his cloak, which he has folded and tucked inside his pack, with his case 

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: 

STRENGTHS: Has blood magic so he can cast rituals

WEAKNESSES: Blood magic calls for blood so he’s not very stable afterwards.

BACKGROUND: Grew up raised by minstrels and wizards, learned their trades and traveled to Gelian. He’s a half mage so he’s shunned by the magic community and the high born part of society. He accidentally bumped into Eryx when performing at a tavern and they hit it off almost immediately, next he was introduced to Abraxis and now they’re really close friends.

Here's a new Sanukan charrie. I want to roleplay on the Gelian thread and I thought it would be fun for a war-hardened, sarcastic, cold Sanukan to meet the residents of a friendly, small town.

Name:  Gamgi Kholodno

Species: Sanukan (Human, but, a little different. Sanukaville humans have  some giant in them, making them very tall and resistant to subzero temperatures)

Job/Title: Major

Appearance: She's about, oh, seven feet tall, which is obviously very tall for her age. (She's only 26.) Her skin is extremely dark. Her hair is black and braided, usually decorated with beads. Her eyes are small and silver colored. She wears a red, gold and black Sanukan military uniform.

Personality: Acts quite harsh and cold, but she has a soft side. She's extremely intelligent and loves logic puzzles. Her voice is sharp and cruel sounding. 

Home: Sanukaville, though she's been traveling all over Kyngdom, to see which areas are in danger of Catastrophe bombing.

Most Often Seen At: Nowhere in particular.

Friend or Mentor: She and Davina Starr were childhood friends

Enemy or Rival: Catastrophe

Favorite Possession: Her silver dagger

Motto: "I'm the one in charge here, not you."

Strengths: Skilled fighter, resistant to cold

Weaknesses: Hides her emotions, was secretly scarred by the same horrible event that also haunts Davina

Background:  TBD

Sounds good! That would be interesting to have this kid who's like 5'9 greet this giant of a woman while his friend who is nearly as tall as said woman hovers behind him and his gremlin of a friend makes jokes and laughs.

Also, hi Sybil! We havent really interacted much but I admire your confidense.

Yes this is still the CB, just a different area. *ruffles Mor's hair* Don't think on it too much.

Aw, thanks!

I'm guessing Gamgi probably won't like the jokes and laughter, heh. Ooh, that could create an interesting rival...

Why not, the idea for this bean popped into my head and she was just too... developable. XD

NAME: Akiranis Contritumina, goes by Kirah (Pronunciation key: Ah-keer-AH-niss Con-tree-TOO-me-nah)

SPECIES: Homo avian

JOB/TITLE: Resistance member, former student/test subject at the SOCS, possible spy against Catastrophe?

APPEARANCE: dark brown skin, eyes, and hair; bushy, curly hair that stops just above her rib cage; skinny; average height; stubby fingernails; wears a tattered, stained burgundy shirt, ripped black pants, and battered shoes that are so covered in mud and other grime that they could be any color. Kirah has feathery, grey, angelic wings sprouting from her back; the wings are surrounded by scars.

PERSONALITY: fiercely independent- her awful childhood taught her that being close to people only results with hurt and nostalgia, so she keeps herself from becoming attached to people for not only her good but also the good of everyone else. Kirah is noble, perhaps too noble, because she is welcome to the idea of giving herself up to death. She can be brave when she wants, but she’s told herself that she’s a coward so often that her courage is beginning to ebb away. She’s definitely a survivor, and she often contemplates philosophical questions to herself. She can get nostalgic and emotional very easily, and she almost never worries about herself, just about others. She has zero self-confidence and thinks of it as a simple reality that she’s good for nothing. She has very strong beliefs and never backs down from defending them, but she’ll never resort to violence. Intuitive, stubborn. Slightly poetic and can sometimes be seen talking to herself. Kirah is very reserved and doesn’t trust people quickly.

HOME: N/A, wanders around Kyngdom

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Resistance headquarters or wandering about the streets

FRIEND OR MENTOR: she used to have a friend named Owena Rayvin, but Kirah stopped making friends after innocent little Wen died.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: SOCS, Catastrophe (though she carries a special hatred for the SOCS because they ruined her life).

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: a very tattered, ripped, stained, and beaten rolled-up piece of paper that says, in fading black ink: It’s going to be okay. -Your friend, Wen (Owena Rayvin)

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING:”No, I’ll be fine on my own…”

STRENGTHS: brave and completely selfless. She also has a beautiful singing voice and is an excellent spy. Fairly tenacious.

WEAKNESSES: has zero self-confidence, very nostalgic, refuses to make friends. Not a good plan-maker.

BACKGROUND: Kirah’s parents were tricked into sending her and her older sister, Airini, to the SOCS boarding school thinking it was a good school that would help their daughters. Airini soon became top of her class and an excellent assassin, and Kirah watched as she became a cold-blooded, ruthless killer. Kirah hasn’t seen her sister since. Always there to comfort her, though, was her friend Owena Rayvin (affectionately known as Wen). Both girls were against the violence the SOCS kept promoting and couldn’t wait to get out of school and join the Resistance. However, when both Wen and Kirah were 16, they were chosen to be experimented on as Homo Avians. Just before they we going to be experimented on, Wen slipped a note into Kirah’s hand that said It’s going to be okay. -Your friend, Wen.

When the scientists were done experimenting on her, Kirah ignored the pain in her back and immediately asked about Wen. They told her that Wen had died during the experimentation. The scientists thought of it as an annoying failure, but Kirah knew it was more than that. Indignant at their lack of concern, Kirah snuck out that very night and joined the Resistance.

Kirah is seventeen now and in desperate need of a love interest to show her that LIFE IS WORTH LIVING and that YES, KIRAH DEAREST, YOU ARE GOOD FOR SOMETHING. She available for anyone her age.

AHA! I JUST CAME UP WITH A GREAT IDEA FOR A CHARRIE AND WE CAN SHIP THEM AND KIRAH!

Name:  Dar'sava Jabihrri

Species: Homo Felis

Job/Title: Resistance soldier/spy

Appearance: Rather short, with cat-like orange eyes. Fur covers his entire body. It's light brown, with dark brown tabby markings. He has pointed ears, rather like an elf's, with many piercings. He has hair. It's dark brown, and shaved on the sides of his head and rather tall and fluffy in the middle. So sort of like a mohawk, but not quite. He has a small bobbed tail, because he is a bobcat Homo Felis. He wears well-worn simple clothing, usually in greys and browns. He doesn't wear shoes, because his feet are like paws. His hands have long, thin fingers.

Personality: Fairly extroverted. He enjoys to laugh, but can take things seriously. However, he can become emotional or sad when reminded of his past.

Home: Nowhere. He mostly stays at the Resistance base, and he used to live in the deserts of southern Kyngdom.

Most Often Seen At: The Resistance base

Friend or Mentor: No one really. All of his friends were killed during the experimentation. He was the only to survive at that particular lab.

Enemy or Rival: SOCS mostly, and he also dislikes Catastrophe.

Favorite Possession: His golden ring, studded with a simple piece of amber. It was given to him by his mother, before she died of illness.

Motto or Favorite Saying: "I'll be okay."

Strengths: Very quick and agile, good at sneaking. He's very slender and small, so he can fit into tight spaces.

Weaknesses: He tends to bottle up all his sadness until it becomes too much for him too handle. He isn't very physically powerful, because of his small size.

Background: He grew up in a small desert town. At the age of five, his mother died of a very serious illness. When he turned ten, his town was attacked by Catastrophe. He spent a year as a recruit in Catastrophe's army, where he began to hate Catastrophe. He was then sent to SOCS. At the age of twelve, he was turned into a Homo Felis. He was the only one at that lab to survive. His friends and his father all died. He stayed with SOCS until he was 15, then he finally escaped. He is 18 now, and he has joined the Resistance.
