Welcome to Gaia! ::


I've been hanging around the art freebie board for awhile now, posting a sketch or two to questers and drawing in the draw the avatar above you thread, and figured I might as well start a "Draw Meh!!!1!1!" thread of my own.

It should be noted that I've got a bit of a weakness for pixel art, partly because I'm incapable of drawing it myself. I love all forms of art, though, and I especially love seeing the different ways people portray my OCs. So no matter what your skill level, please spare a minute to drop me a sketch, it shall be saved and cherished heart

If you'd like me to draw you or your character in return, post an example or two and I'll see what I can do wink I'll trade with almost anyone, but the type of art I'll draw will depend on what type I'm recieving.

Gryph Flametongue Wordmason (It's a petty average name where she comes from)
Gender/Age: Female, 64 (human equivalent is about 21)
Race: Where she comes from, her race is called "human", but the pointed ears, long life and natural purple hair do put her out of that category in Gaia. She usually calls herself an elf, but that's not quite right either.
Appearance: She has a Petite, bookwormy build, aided by her tendency to wear plain, comfortable clothes and carry around a book or two at all times. Her hair is naturally purple, and she wears it tied back in a ponytail or bun. Her bangs are long, but not quite long enough to fit into her ponytail, so they hang out the front. She usually carries a feathered magical staff, which can be converted into a small pendant if necessary (yes, she does read Cardcaptor Sakura; that's where she got the idea.)

Kimono, formal wear, swimwear and mage uniform respectively.
Persona: Essentially cheery, with a great love of all knowledge and literature. She's usually very helpful, if a bit scatterbrained, but can sometimes be too trusting because of this- she makes no distinction between helping normal people and helping evil demons. Books are her greatest weakness- she'll put herself under unnecessary risk just to get her hands on a rare volume or first edition book, no matter the subject. When she gets angry, it's usually pretty violent, but once she smashes a few things she's usually okay again.
History: Gryph comes from a world where the terms "magic" and "science" are often used interchangeably. Her life there was pretty normal: her parents sent her to a good school; she excelled in her classes, and grew up a generally happy child. She studied at a top-notch university; the equivalent of Oxford; and then set off to see the world. Several years and six dimension jumps later, she found herself in Gaia, and decided it was time to settle down for a bit. She's not one hundred percent sure she can get back to her home dimension, but she hasn't yet put much effort into trying.
<center>Original Character Post 2- Demons and Angels</center>

Name: Charles
Age: Just over six hundred
Gender: Male
Race: Angel, general guardian subclass

Appearance:<img src="http://tinypic.com/2k1pc6" align=right>
His appearance changes depending on what sort of location he's assigned to, but he usually retains his blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He dresses conservatively at all times, often in a catholic schoolboy uniform, and wears no jewelry save for the occasional silver crucifix necklace. He often wears glasses, and usually has a rather thin, un-athletic build. He can hide his wings and halo with ease, and almost always does so in order to blend in with humans.

Personality: Charles is an honest-to-goodness pure and kind person, following Christian morals to the letter to set a good example for those around him. He loves to help others, and has given up a perfect life in Heaven to try and save human souls. This kindness has been rewarded with an impossible job, lousy pay, teasing from most of the humans around him, and a demon who's made it her personal project to seduce him and thereby destroy his life. Given the circumstances, he's dealt with things pretty well, but he's started to develop a bit of a bitter side.

Profession: Charles' job is to save human souls by convincing them not to sin. Since he works in modern day North America, which seems to be filled to the brim with sex, drugs and hardcore punk-rock metal rap wherever he goes, this isn't an easy task. To make matters worse, there are demons with the opposite job description, corrupting souls, with whom he usually has to compete.

Would Love to See: Just general pictures right now. I'll add more details once I add profiles for his supporting cast.

Name: Kia
Age: 6-700
Gender: Female
Race: Corruptor demon, fallen angel

Appearance:<img src="http://tinypic.com/2khp41" align=left> The polar opposite of Charles, Kia dresses to tease. She usually favors punkish or gothic styles that show a lot of skin, and often appears sporting unnatural hair colours (with black roots) and multiple body piercings. She can change her appearance at will, and does so to hide the giveaway horns and wings that mark her as a demon.

Personality: Remember those mean girls who picked on you in highschool? She's their evil undead vampire b***h queen from hell. She's sexy, mean and charismatic, and most of all she loves her job corrupting the minds of the innocent. From the way she acts, there's no way anyone would be able to tell she misses her former position as an angel a little. She's made it her personal mission in life to corrupt poor Charles.

Profession: Kia's job is to corrupt the innocent and spread sin and chaos in the world. She's also allowed to buy souls, granting small wishes in exchange for their eternal damnation (ex: oh man, I'd sell my soul to pass this math test!)

Would Love to See: Kia buying a soul, sexy Kia pics. PG 13 only, please.

Name: Xriss
Age: Over five hundred, appears 18-22ish
Gender: Male
Race: Typo Demon

Appearance: <img src="http://tinypic.com/2k1pb8" align=left>
.Zip form: A small, compact little demon, adorable and ferocious. In this format he can travel from computer to computer via email and instant messaging systems, causing typos wherever he goes. He's a dark shade of blueish-grey, with long horns and ears, as well as a pair of jagged wings and a thin little demon tail. In order to change to and from this form, he needs access to a computer with winzip.

Human form: Bright blonde hair, matrix-green eyes, ratty old grey t-shirt with some 1337 saying or another on it. Black horns, wings and tail, long ears and computer-geek-that-never-sees-the-light-of-day skin.
<center><img src="http://tinypic.com/2k1p8z"></center>

Personality: Xriss lives to annoy, and usually does so through the computer. Ever had a day when you just couldnt' speel anythng write? Chances are, that was his doing (or one of his coworkers.) He has no conscience, but doesn't take active pleasure in causing real pain, so he's essentially harmless. Despite being a technogeek, he has a way of radiating a sort of cool-ness that comes from real confidence. He's good with people, although many dislike him for the way he makes them "typo" while talking by mixing up their words.

Profession: Typo demons are a sort of minor annoyance demon, designed by the Devil to push people further towards sin. Typo demons are about as low down on the underworld food chain as you can get, which is why most of them spend all their time on Earth instead.

Would Love to See: Either form at a computer, pixel of .zip Xriss on a file folder, t-shirt designs and logos.

Name: Cynic
Age: 400-ish
Gender: Male
Race: Angel (archangel level 3), assignment guardian subclass

Appearance: Tall and thin, with long blonde-white hair he keeps tied back as discretely as possible and a stare/glare/bored expression to rival that of any emo teen. He's supposed to wear a long, flowing white robe-thing at all times while on duty, but since he can whip it on in a few seconds he usually doesn't bother. He has large angel wings and a slightly lopsided halo, both of which can be hidden at will. His skin is rather pale, although not unnaturally so, and his eyes are an angelic sort of blue. He usually appears as in his early twenties, with a longish sort of face that makes him seem a bit older.

Personality: Y'know how there's an Angel of Hope, an Angel of Justice and an Angel of Mercy? Well by the time Cynic was born, all the good "angel of"s were taken, so he became the Angel of Cynicism when he passed his first archangel exam. Needless to say, he's bitter, sarcastic and pessimistic, with a quick mind and a quicker tongue. He's quick to mock or criticize, but like any angel he does have a deep-down sense of good. First he'll tell everyone how stupid and faulty the world is, then he'll go change it. When everything's better, he'll say "I told you so".

Profession: Cynic is training to become a full-fledged archangel, and as part of his training he's required to put in two hundred years of guardian duty. This involves being assigned to a child (or young adult) in need, appearing to them occasionally as a spiritual guide, and ensuring their life goes smoothly and that they see the light. Unfortunately for him, his current charge is a rather annoying web-obsessed, chatspeaking anime "otaku" tweenager who's treating Cynic's existence like a cool new manga story she gets to live. She has brownish hair and blue eyes and is based loosely on me with all my faults exaggerated, but if you'd like to add her into a pic you can either ask for more details, or design her yourself.

Would Love to See: Cynic in his official angel "uniform", hair designs for Cynic to keep his knee-length hair out of the way, Cynic and his current charge. Cynic and Xriss (the two are old rivals and sorta-kinda friends- Xriss hides out at Cynic's charge's house for awhile while he looks for a new computer to possess after his last victim burnt hers and got a typewriter instead.)

Name: Gadriel
Age: Six hundred
Gender: Male
Race: Angel/Demon mix

Appearance: He could pass for a typical lawyer, if it weren't for his horns and wings. His hair is pale blonde and a little curly, although he uses liberal amounts of hair gel to keep it from looking too cherubic. His eyes are usually a purplish-red, the result of colour genes from angel and demon sides clashing. His wings are feathered and grey, almost angelic but not quite, and his horns are usually pretty small, but will grow larger when he's angry. His tail is very small and whip-like, and easily hidden, but it lashes about when he’s irritated or worried.

Personality: Sarcastic and a touch cynical, with an utter disregard for the wellbeing of others. He's mean, he knows it, and quite frankly he doesn't care. Unfortunately, this makes him a very bad defense attorney, since he really doesn't care whether his clients are damned or saved. He has no sweet, gooey center, nor does he have a soft, romantic side, any good deeds he does are fueled by personal gain.

Profession: Gaddie’s a defence attorney in hell- he's supposed to argue a client's case in court so the client doesn’t get damned for all eternity. Unfortunately for the clients, he does a really bad job at it. He'd love to move up to prosecution attorney.
