              @whalekeeper @loopylin @lydibug @euodia-vision

              Here are four more charries I’m introducing:

              Bagico – Species: dwarf (m). Nickname: Bags. Age: 325 solar years (about 16 years maturity level). Gifts: tactfulness and diplomacy. Appearance: short dark brown hair, freckles, easy-going smile, brown eyes.

              Yerdua – Species: dwarf (f). Nickname: pending (“Yer” is not a very good one. Any ideas, anyone?). Age: 307 solar years (about 15 maturity level). Gifts: acting and homemaking skills. Appearance: long straight blonde hair, darkish eyebrows, blue eyes.

              Yeamano – Species: faerie (m). Nickname: Manly or Yes-Man. Age: 403 solar years (about 20 maturity level, but he bluffed his way into the school anyway because the headmistress didn’t know that to get a faerie or dwarf’s maturity age, you divide their solar age by 20). Gifts: colorblind, leadership, and bluffing. Appearance: short dirty blond hair, freckles, brown eyes, goofy smile.

              Narana – Species: faerie (f). Nickname: Nana. Age: 376 solar years (about 19 maturity level, Yea got her into the school). Gifts: standing quietly and not getting noticed (so she can spy), writing. Appearance: long straight brown hair, gentle quiet face, brown eyes.

              Important note: Yeamano is the last surviving member of his family. All of the rest of his siblings and his parents were killed in the struggle against the evil queen in my story. The most recent death was that of his sister Airamia, an adopted sibling who was a dwarf by birth but lived with the faeries. She might or might not come back as a ghost.

              Narana

              “Of course, on our first day at the school, everyone is leaving,” laughed Yeamano. A steady stream of excited students flowed out the school doors, down the steps, through the parking lot, and around the two faeries and two dwarves. Narana stood beside Yeamano, watching the phenomenon.

              “All well and good for you. I can’t see a thing except other people’s knees,” grumbled Yerdua.

              “I could give you a boost,” offered Bagico.

              “Yeah, that’s not going to happen.” Yerdua apparently didn’t care all that much.

              Manly surveyed the situation again from his lofty height alongside Nana. “The way I see it, we have some choices here. We can stay here, looking like misplaced trees and rocks, we can go inside and get oriented, or we can blindly follow the crowd.”

              Yerdua rolled her eyes and sighed in frustration. “Or, we could do the obvious and ask someone here what’s going on.” She quickly caught the attention of the only people in sight her height, two brown-haired girls with tails. Although considering what Nana had seen in the past few months, that wasn’t unusual in the slightest. They were talking excitedly with a more normal-sized girl with poofy white gloves and cat-like eyes. All three turned when Yerdua called. “Hey, you, what’s going on? Where is everyone going?”

                    Ok I’m adding Dante!

                    I’ve resisted adding Dante to the rp for over a month. I think this is a new record for me. XD

                    Here’s some pictures:

                    He is another alien, is about 5 feet tall, about 17 in human years, and has fire proof skin.

                        @people

                        Dante

                        Last night, somewhere in the city…

                        Dante was cornered. He had nowhere else to run. He stood on the flat rooftop of an apartment building, clutching a short metal pipe in his right hand. The cool night breeze ruffled his dark hair.

                        Facing him crouched a large lizard-like creature, with a snout stuck in a permanent sneer and yellow eyes that gleamed in the dark.

                        A neon sign reading “Best Pizza in Town” the next roof over bathed the two figures in red and blue light.

                        Dante held up his free hand, palm out, in what was meant to be a calming gesture.

                        “Heyy, Ace. Buddy. Why don’t we just talk about this?”

                        “Talk?”

                        The lizard scoffed. He held out his right hand. It was blackened and deformed with burn scars that spread all the way up to his shoulder.

                        “You did this to me. We’re past talking.” He growled. He advanced slowly and Dante backed up until he was at the edge of the roof. Dante started creeping sideways along the edge, still trying to keep his distance. He smiled nervously.

                        “Yeah, but it’s not all that bad, though, is it? You can still move your fingers and stuff, right?”

                        A brick flew through the air straight at Dante’s head. He tumbled to the side and felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder. The brick smashed onto the street below. He glanced down at his shoulder. It had barely grazed him. He looked back to see Ace’s enraged face. His grip tightened on the pipe and he forced a casual smile.

                        “Was that your last brick? You know, maybe I’m not worth all this effort. You look tired.”

                        Ace snarled and leapt forward, claws outstretched. Quickly, Dante shielded his face with the pipe. Ace’s charred hands closed around it, and Dante saw his opportunity. Using Ace’s momentum, he spun around until they switched places, with Ace now at the edge of the roof. Then, he let go.

                        The lizard’s eyes grew wide as he fell backwards. Dante didn’t wait to see the rest. Immediately, he turned on his heel and ran.

                        He knew that Ace would be back.

                        A few minutes later, Dante landed on the other side of a fence and paused, his chest heaving. He had reached a part of town where the buildings were much smaller and more spread out. In front of him, behind a few bushes, towered a building with much older looking architecture than the rest. Ivy covered the wall on this side.

                        Exhausted, Dante found a place in the bushes where he could stay hidden until morning. Then, after making sure he hadn’t been followed, he laid down in the grass and fell asleep.

                        Dante awoke to loud chattering and the sound of a hundred pairs of shoes walking together. He crept through the bushes to get a better view of what was going on, and saw a crowd of students exiting the front entrance of the building which he now realized was a school.

                        As he watched, he realized how odd everyone in the crowd looked. They weren’t wearing uniforms, and there were many strange and unique races of people he had never seen before. It dawned on him that he could blend in here. Who would question him in a place this chaotic?

                        He brushed off the leaves and dirt from his clothes, and, cautiously, joined the crowd.

                        (Sorry that was so long and dramatic, but anything less and Dante wouldn’t have come. He hates school. And shopping.)

                          I like your new characters! The twins will be happy for some friends they don’t have to look up to.

                          I’m going to let @lydibug rp first in that group.

                            @whalekeeper Wow you caught on fast. I’m kinda amazed


                            @loopylin
                            I’m reading The Divine Comedy so naming your character Dante brings back fond memories. Eke, that’s fine with the RP.

                            @everyone we should bring back using “eke” instead of “also”. My more posh characters will start doing it

                              Things that come to mind when I think about Dante:

                              If you have only one eye, you have no depth perception. You have to bob your head like a pigeon to get the full picture.

                              If you have only one eye, the blind spot is a problem. Our eyes’ blind spots are in different places, so the other eye fills it the gap. Not so if there’s only one eye.

                              One big eye in the middle of your face is a target waiting to be hit (think: Odysseus and Polyphemus the Cyclopes). That’s a tip, Ace.

                              In the Divine Comedy, Dante, the author/narrator, journeys through the nine circles of hell, where there is a lot of fire. Don’t know how this is applicable to your charrie, it just popped into my mind.

                              Razor-sharp teeth: good for tearing meat, or slashing plants. You decide.

                              Just to be clear, I’m not criticizing. I think a five-foot high cyclopes from another planet is a cool addition to the school dynamic. These are simply some things that occur to me, the reader. Ignore if you so desire. Just some ideas to get your creative juices flowing (works for me). Dante, and the story he brings, is going to be awesome. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

                                thanks for the feedback!

                                If you have only one eye, you have no depth perception. You have to bob your head like a pigeon to get the full picture.

                                Yes I’ve thought about this, and I guess I’ve just decided that I don’t care? Though he’s from a “sci-fi” comic book technically, I’ve kinda thrown science out the window and instead go with whatever is fun and fantastical. He’s just fun to draw with one eye.

                                And no, he doesn’t bob his head around like a pigeon, though that is a hilarious image in my head. XD I might make a bonus comic of that later.

                                One big eye in the middle of your face is a target waiting to be hit (think: Odysseus and Polyphemus the Cyclopes). That’s a tip, Ace.

                                Yes this is totally going to happen at some point (not enough to blind him) and it will be hilarious.

                                In the Divine Comedy, Dante, the author/narrator, journeys through the nine circles of hell, where there is a lot of fire. Don’t know how this is applicable to your charrie, it just popped into my mind.

                                I’ve only read snippets of the Divine Comedy (it’s on my list), but I did actually name him after it. He has an… unhealthy obsession with fire.

                                  @loopylin cool cool very cool

                                  I love allusions to literature. My entire story looks like it will be one big allusion to The Faerie Queene
