Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Ink.
Gender: Male.
Race: Legend.
Hair: White blonde, thin, up to his jaw. Often gets in his eyes.
Eyes: They change colour every time he blinks. This transition is often fluid and eventual [like reds to oranges to yellows within the hour], but on occasion they will change radically. There is no known correlation between his mood and the colour of his eyes, but feel free to use artistic licence to create mood!
Skin: Sunkissed caucasian.
Body type: Fairly muscular without the bulk. He packs more punch than he appears. 6' 0.5".
Personality: Stubborn, determined, crude, hard pressed, secretive, unfaithful, sly, physical, frustrated, grumpy, streetwise, deceptive, confident, tempermental, possessive.. He's not someone you want to bump into on the street at night, or piss off, for that matter. He has an innate indifference to all people; it's hard to win him over in order to gain his trust or friendship.
Abilities: Ink is not a magical guy. His strength, agility, and speed are heightened above the normal human's. He has a quick wit and is able to make strategic decisions in a heartbeat, though not always the right ones. He is a skilled assassin and handles most types of weapons with ease and accuracy.
Other Important Characteristics: He'll just become more ruthless when he's older. He's an assassin, a loner, but with that itty bitty soft spot no one can find. He owns two guns, one usually prominent and another hidden. He will, when teen aged and older, accumulate a collection of arm, shoulder, and upper back tattoos. He's often classified as a sociopath, so keep that in mind? <3

Pose Suggestions: Something involving guns, or him looking like a tough guy. Looking annoyed with Suds. Abusing Suds. Looking grumpy. Sitting on a rooftop, looking down on the city. Something in an urban settting. Something with really sharp shadows, like under a streetlight or in an alley. A brawl between Dare and Ink. Dare's death scene, at the hands of Ink. Crouching over a body. Running away from cops. Doing illegal substances, but most particularly smoking or drinking underage.

Daemon's Name: Suds.
Species: Unique. Think.. hamster-lizard crossbreed, only rainbow and with antenna.
Physical description: She's about the size of a kitten. Her skin is like fur, but at the same time quite rubbery and flexible. She has two thin antenna that coil out of her forehead next to two small, fuzzy ears. Her eyes are large and blue. Her legs and tail are a light green in colour; she has three tiny toes on each paw. Thin, flimsy, dark green scales line her spine from the base of her neck to the tip of her thin tail. Her body is rainbow in large, bright strips of colour, starting from her orange head and changing gradually, but noticeably, to her purple and red bottom.
Personality: Consider her a polar opposite of Ink. She is selfless, energetic, extremely enthusiastic, hyper, bouncy, loving, child-like, compassionate, dim-witted, naive.. She loves to dance and sing in gibberish. Her favourite phrase is, "BWREEEE~!" and other exclamations of excitement. She has a sweet tooth, especially for cookies! It's pretty safe to say she's the personification of cute.
Relationship with Ink: I like to describe it as a "battered spouse syndrome" type relationship; the abused one thinks it's their fault, that they deserve whatever treatment they get, and they love their abuser all the same, even thinking that the abuse is a sign of love. Suds is too dim-witted to realize otherwise, and takes all sorts of abuse from Ink. Ink thinks of her spitefully not only because she's blatantly cute and annoying, but because she represents what he has lost - a complete soul. They are two parts of one soul. Having been split apart, they are essentially immortal, for one cannot die if the other still lives, and thus the one who has been killed, for whatever reason, reappears elsewhere, having fed on the other half's life energy to bring their self back. The only way they can be killed is together, in the exact same moment, by the same cause.

Name: Phoebe Aspere
Gender: Female.
Race: Human
Hair: Thin and white-blonde, usually tied back. Cut to her chin, or to her shoulders, either one is acceptable.
Eyes: Green.
Skin: Pale caucasian.
Body type: Small and thin, sickly.
Personality: Very accepting, wise beyond her years. Reserved. Takes every day as it comes. Solemn. Quiet. Well behaved. Assuring. Selfless. Pensive.
Abilities: None.
Other Important Characteristics: Phoebe has spent most of her childhood in hospital, for a series of childhood diseases. Her last, and the one she eventually succumbs to, is acute leukemia. Therefore, she usually dons hospital attire and is often hooked up to an IV. Her brother, Ink, watches over her constantly, but she is more of a beacon of hope and knowledge to him, and acts, before she dies, as his guardian and protector, instead of the other way around as he had always thought.

Name: Madeline Adrian
Gender: Female
Race: Skull Monkey
Hair: Crimson, long and messy.
Eyes: Olive green in colour. Looks somewhat like he's squinting most of the time.
Skin: Fair, a little sunkissed. Youthful.
Body type: Slim, needs to bulk up. While he's not a twig, he is on the bony side. 6'1".
Personality: Pretty friendly overall, easy to talk to. Hard to piss off, unless you go and insult his friends or his music. Flirty without intention. Fairly laid back, modest, and gives honest opinions. He hides things inside that are bound to catch up with him, but he won't ever be caught without a smile nevertheless. Bright and optimistic, he tries to think the best of people. He sticks to his guns in arguments, is fairly philosophical, and is both stubborn and conservative on rare moments. Eccentric.
Abilities: He's of a race of people known as Time Rangers. He is able to teleport, but not in a dense sci-fi way; he, like other Rangers, disappears the same as sand blown away a gust of air. The Ranger’s body relaxes, and much like wind blows away sand under the desert sun, so too is their body swept away in tiny, dust-like particles until nothing remains. Secondly - and this is a less common ability - a Ranger is able to access files that contain the memories of all mortals who have passed on. Those with lesser developed power can view them only in the depths of their own minds, while others, the more skilled, can transmit the images into the physical plane. This works best in an empty room, where one can observe a complete 360 degree viewpoint of the memory file. It is a most wondrous experience, and the limitations of language cannot truly explain just how breathtaking and intimate a gift it is. Being a Ranger is not without its consequences - if a Ranger experiences too extreme of an emotion, they can actually turn younger within a second. Dare experienced this once before when he was under a great deal of stress. In more extreme cases, such as grief in the loss of a loved one, a Ranger will fall into a semi-consciousness and the colour from their body will leak away much like blood; if drained completely, both the body and soul of the Ranger die. The colour bleeding process can take mere minutes to be completed and prevention and treatment are necessary immediately to rescue the Ranger. This is merely one of the reasons Rangers are prohibited from getting emotionally attached with mortals.
Dare is also very in tune with his musical abilities; he is able to recall a song he's never heard before through the gift of his Time magic, as well as play and sing without sheet music and without prior practice.
Other Important Characteristics: His voice is rough around the edges, and he speaks in a mixed English dialect of French Canadian and Irish. He is rarely ever without his guitar. His choice in clothing can be altered, but please do not change his style. For example, he would never be caught wearing anything preppy or clean-cut; his style is grungy, ripped, torn, altered, and unwashed. He'd wear a lot of band t-shirts and probably sport stickers on his guitar case. He works two jobs, both of which have odd hours and terrible shifts at a cafe and an underground club, so he's on the music scene almost always. Very soon, however, his life will be altered drastically as the High Council [see the Time Ranger info] decides to interfere with his life and bring him back as an unwilling recruit.

Pose Suggestions: On stage, singing with his eyes closed into a microphone, or playing his guitar with deep concentration. At the park with April. Singing on the curb for money. Playing for a group of people/audience. Mid-teleportation. Semi-conscious with pictures of the past all around him. Standing trial against the High Council. Asleep with April [cute, nothing dirty]. Sitting atop a building with his legs over the side, singing. Dying via leaking his colours, as explained above. Looking up at Ink's gun. In some sort of scuffle with Ink. Fueding with Pandora, a stunning seductive High Council member. In a rough, love/hate embrace with Ink [OOC, but hilarious, no? >3] A sweet, tender exchange between him and April. In a photobooth with April, making silly faces at the camera.

Name: Daimhin Adrian
Gender: Male
Race: Hiccups
Hair: She has thick black hair that is usually tied up in pigtails. Her bangs and the tips of her hair are a rich orange colour. She uses a skull hairclip to keep her bangs out of her eyes.
Eyes: Dark, almost black. Often described as wide and observant.
Skin: A rich tanned colour. This is often wrong, so please pay attention to this!
Body type: Small and slender. Even as an adult, she could be mistaken for a child due to her small stature.
Personality: Taciturn. A people watcher. Easy to please, hard to get to know. Good to go to for advice. Introverted. Responsible, but absentminded.
Abilities: Precognitive, so she knows things before they happen. Useful for avoiding sticky situations, but at the present it can't be controlled. She also projects her emotions rather than showing them on her face, bestowing on her a sort of "Mona Lisa smile" quality.
Other Important Characteristics: She loves to paint, and her clothing often reveals that. She always wears an almond coloured jacket. Her clothing can be changed, so long as the style of dress does not - meaning, do not draw her wearing preppy clothes. Her style consists of layering, bright colours, arm and leg warmers, Chucks, scarves, patches, and buttons. Feel free to draw her at any age.

Daemon's Name: Curiosity.
Species: Miniature spiked and horned turtle.
Physical description: He has two smooth horns protruding out of his forehead that curl under by the top of his head. His shell is rimmed with spikes and decorated with slightly glowing, lighter orange swirls. He has enormous menacing silver eyes and softly glowing markings on his face.
Personality: Fiercely protective. Overbearing. Has a one track mind. Likes to pick fights. Highly pessimistic and distrusting. Has a very good memory and likes to use it in situations where he disapproves of what April is doing.
Abilities: Nothing more than being a nag. He can n** pretty hard, though!
Relationship with Forgotten: He is dedicated to her, without fail. He's sort of her voice of reason, her conscience; he often hides in her coat or within her scarf. He likes to sleep against her chest, and is small enough to do this without being detected [though once she starts to develop, he might have to find another means of transportation, hahaha.]

Pose Suggestions: Listening adoringly to Dare play his guitar. Being threatened/held at gun point by Ink. Younger, right after returning with Dare from their stressful ordeal. Running way under the cover of night with Dare. Sitting by herself in a public place - ex. on a bus, at a shop window - peoplewatching. Painting. Arguing with Curiosity. Asleep on the ratty old couch in Dare's apartment, or stretched out on his windowseat. Curled up with a guitar, saddened by the fact that Dare didn't come home that night and using the guitar as a replacement for him.
