"Oh yeah, but none for this"Here is my character who is from A Summer Away the sequel to A Week Away

Family: none but Will becomes an older brother to her
Looks: Brown hair that she usually wears in a ponytail, green eyes, usually wears shorts and a T-shirt but she doesn’t wear jeans even in the summer. Sometimes she wears a dress.

Oooh, I like Sara’s character
"does anyone have any good ideas?"
"Oh yeah, but none for this"Oh, fun!
Sara is so cool! @awsumfaith I’ve seen Arwen before but she’s still awesome XD
I’ll just do one for now, lol.
Name: Dune
Age: Young Adult/ maybe almost adult???
Created by: Ava, or Solfyre, or Kyron the Arcanin take your pick XD
Personality traits: Quirky, Assertive, risk-taking, trustworthy, and sometimes absent-minded or irritable
Backstory: ooohh boy here we go XD. Dune is a Felisaro, the cat-like race in my WIP, who used to live on the planet Leor. That all changed when he was young and his father and uncle tried to assassinate the king of Leor. His father and uncle were killed, and the rest of the family was banished from Leor. Dune left on a ship called the Ombryn, living only by one rule his father gave him, to keep a bunch of forbidden books safe. Later he crash-lands on the Serpenree planet, Lacertilia, and meets Rina, the MC, which is the first time you see him. (I won’t get into too much cause massive spoilers…)
Goals: To keep the books safe, and to keep Rina alive. The second one half because he has grown like her and half because Sorren would kill him if he doesn’t.
Family: Kind of described this already, but they meet his cousin, Korwin, who becomes the Admiral of a spaceship and is basically a space pirate, though they don’t say that in the book XD. His mother might come into play later, but she’s not with him or on Leor. He’s an only child.
Looks: Felisaro are usually just large cats. Dune is brown with light brown and red brown stripes, and emerald green eyes. He almost always wears faded red armor, with a sheath holding a dagger attached.
Other: Hmmmm… Ah yes, rather important detail, he is now the skilled pilot of the Ulbryn, their stolen Serpenree ship, and has a kind of rivalry going on with Sorren. He likes randomly making tweaks to the ship- though the others have little idea what he’s doing- and usually manages not to break anything. He doesn’t think the Celestial Phoenix (deity representing God in the book) exists, and if it does, he doesn’t want anything to do with it. He’s one of those charries who doesn’t understand why a good God would let bad things happen, so yeah, lol.
And I also have some random aesthetics I have built up for him, not much tho:
wrenches and daggers
flashing radars
scraping metal
running blindly over sand
faded, rusted armor
flickering flames
scrappy, tooth and claw fights
And, that’s Dune, lol.

@smiley @awsumfaith @kyronthearcanin
Awesome charries, y’all!!! 😄
I’ll tell ya about mine either later today or tomorrow. It’s actually perfect timing that this forum was made because I recently finished some character template sheets for my MCs and all my important side charries. 🙂 😉

You threw me with your character name. I often do double takes when I see or hear my name. 😆
I’ll add my characters later. Probably tomorrow.

@smiley I feel like you took me and changed me a little to make a character. I was a foster baby and was adopted at 2, I have brown hair often up in ponytail, my clothes preference is shorts and a T-shirt, I never wear jeans, and my eyes are turning green. I’m 17 though, and I became a Christian 10 years ago. I have parents, and grew up in a Christian home. I was only with 1 foster family who ended up adopting me in the end. That’s really creepy yet so cool! ❤️
Alrighty! Let’s start with my two MCs.
Name: Amidala Nadir
Age: 16/17
Created by: Esther
Personality Traits: kind, patient, quiet, gentle, soft-spoken, loyal, easily trusting, trustworthy, lighthearted
Backstory: She grew up in a Christian home with her family. She had never seen anything outside the Orb* and stayed in the District of Daemarrel for safety reasons.
Goals: In the story — find the cure**; her life in general — to marry, settle down, and have a family (this changes by the end of the trilogy)
Family: father, Ruben; mother, Adalynn; siblings, Destry, Fynn, and Skylar
Looks: see reference pic below
Other: when she’s nervous, she has a habit of slowly rubbing her hands together or tucking her hair behind her ear; her name means “beautiful flower”; her DOB is April 12; her favorite hobby is anything to do with art, but specifically drawing; her greatest fears are… physical — spiders and frogs —— emotional/psychological — turning others away from truth and God’s love
*Bayron Len instituted the Orb twenty years ago. It covered all of her country of Aletheia, but slowly closed in on the nation until it only covered the District of Daemarrel. (That was a very simplified explanation. XD If you really want to know more, I can tell you. 😁)
**When Bayron died, he said his last words to Amidala and they were: “I know there’s a cure. Find it.” She’s not exactly sure what the cure is until the end of the trilogy. (that’s also a very simplified explanation, lol. XD)
This is what she looks like:

Here’s the second MC!
Name: Everton Barlowe
Age: 17/18
Created by: Esther
Personality Traits: courageous, impulsive, extroverted, occasionally flirtatious, playful, adventurous, cocky
Backstory: He grew up in a very strict home. Nobody had a say in what went on expect his father. It was as if his father didn’t care about their opinions. His father only expected perfection from his sons and that it was he demands from them on the daily.
Goals: Help the Nadirs find the cure/destroy Derek Len’s regime (he’s my main villain)/change the world
Family: father, Malyk; mother, Harlin; siblings, Asher and Lukas
Looks: (very good, in his opinion 🤣) see reference pic below
Other: he has a habit of running his hand through his hair; his name means “boar town” or “hardy, brave” (I prefer the latter. 😜); his DOB is November 20 (or 25, which is my b-day, but my siblings don’t want me to put it as that because it would be weird. 😅😂); his favorite hobby is anything athletic or competitive; his greatest fears are… physical — I don’t know yet | emotional/psychological — failing, specifically failing those he loves
Here’s his reference pic: (I’ll post his second one in the next post)
