The Guardian  Name: Kaithala Pak
Pronounced: KIGH-tha-la pak
Race: Korean American, but was adopted at a young age by German parents, legally she changed her last name when she turned 24
Residence: Seattle, WA
Gender: Female
Age: 29
Hair: Black with blue highlights
Eyes: Cobalt blue
Height: 5' 9" (175cm)
Weight: 135 lbs (61kg)
Personality: Kaithala has two modes of operation. More often than not she stays in the lovely zone of lazy. Under most circumstances she will take the path of least resistance even if it means doing things she'd rather not. As long as it's simpler/easier/faster/more accessible she's in it to win it. Surprisingly this is her better side. On the other side of the coin is Kaithala the man eater. Or close enough. Our girl has an extremely dangerous temper. She's pretty easy flowing until you finally get her to snap, then she's a hellcat! Vicious and willing to fight dirty to win. Luckily it doesn't happen very often.
Kai's attracted to men... and makes sure to have one on tap most of the time. She runs through relationships fairly quickly and normally doesn't try to make any long term ties. She prefers variety, a point of conflict she has with many of the men she dates.
As an extra oddity, Kaithala has the tendency to pick up speech patterns and slight accents from thing she's had prolonged exposure to. Whether that be from a person, movie, song or book it doesn't matter. These patterns stay with her so on occasion she uses them without thinking about it. A good example is her habit of calling guys boy-o's as they do in Ireland.
Occupation: Owner of 'Turn the Page', a coffee shoppe with book store attached to it. That's how it's advertised too, she lives in Seattle you know. ~_^
Likes: Going to kickboxing class, a good martini, lazy days, men, reading a good book, going to the movies, a good sparring match, Metallica <3
Dislikes: Being pulled into long and drawn out events, having to put her time into something she sees as fruitless or useless, clingy relationships, being threatened
Fears: never finding someone to grow old with, minor fear of spiders and crabs... not those crabs! Get your mind out of the gutter!
Secrets: Thinks that she's a touch too manly, which is why gets new men every month to reassert her feminine side.
Personal song: Night of the Dancing Flame - Roisin Murphy
Quote: "We're done here, why aren't you gone yet?"

The Tattoo The concept: A complete back tattoo. The idea is it's a tattered soldier's uniform with puppet strings attached to the body but they've been broken. Along the skin is written, "Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see...", "I was born for dying...", and "OBEY YOUR MASTER" The meaning: The tattered soldier's uniform refers to Kai's paternal grandfather who was a soldier in the German Army in WWII. (Yes he was a Nazi...) It's torn because he died on the battlefield before Kai's father was born. The puppet strings are there to signify that no matter what we do there's someone or something pulling our strings. Be that an emotion, a person, or a higher power. The words mean: "Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see..." - Most people go through life with blinders on not looking at what's really there. Due to incidents in Kai's past she believes that people should remove the rose colored glasses and see life for what it really is. "I was born for dying..." - An acceptance that there is an end to life and that no matter what you do with your life you will die. Instead of being depressing, Kai looks at this as you better enjoy the life you have and to hell with denying yourself life's best parts if all your going to do is die. "OBEY YOUR MASTER" - Again has to do with Kai's belief that every action and reaction is fueled by some greater force, emotionally, physically, mentally, or spiritually. Rough idea of what the back tattoo could look like. Except I don't know how I'd want to do the officer uniform. So that's not present but it should be... Font references: For the back itself I used: One Fell SwoopFor the arms I used: MisprojectAnd here's a picture of the back of a standard WWII german soldier coat. It's really hard to find a good back image of these!!! Not sure how it's going to integrate into each other... >>

The Ink Child  Name: Jonathan, but some call him Johnny Pronounced: JAH-nuh-thuhn, JAH-nee Meaning: God has given, Hebrew in origin. Also he was named for the move "Johnny Got His Gun" which the song "One" was based on. Seriously, Kai takes her Metallica love and just runs with it. ^^ Gender: Male Hair: A dark, rich alder wood brown, with a slash of bangs that cover his right eye. The rest is swept back to several spikey points. Eyes: His left eye is a clear cornflower blue. his right eye however is blind and has a milky white film over it. (In the classic blind person eye look.) Defining features: Johnny's got some battle scars. His right eye is blind, like filmy white layer blind. There's a scar down his face over that eye but he only got that later in life... it didn't cause the blindness, he just couldn't see that he was about to scrape his face. On occasion he'll wear an eye patch over that eye but normally won't bother with it. Perhaps not a defining feature, but it seems that Johnny's build is fairly angular. With fewer curves than the normal human, but not to the point of being completely unnatural. Maybe the most noticiable attribute about Jonathan are the puppet strings that hang from his back and shoulders and from his hands. The strings grow from D-rings and bracelets that are grafted into his body but have broken ends. For his hand strings he wraps them around his wrists like bracelets. When he can he'll wear tank tops or wife beaters so that he can pull the strings on his back out and let them hang. When worse comes to worse he will wrap those around this arms or chest to keep them out of the way as well. Personality: It's easiest to say that Johnny acts as a good foil to Kaithala. Where she is lazy he is motivated, where she gets really FIRED up when provoked, he tends to apply cool, collected logic to problems. Jonathan has an extremely regimented mind. This is how things should and WILL be done. He doesn't tolerate a lot of messiness and prefers to have order when possible. This makes him a pretty stubborn person though, so he's bound to butt heads with other people on occasion. He does, on occasion, go a bit crazy and trash places (and people 0_o) though, only in extreme cases when he's super pissed off. It takes a lot to push him there. Like seriously A LOT! He's not really a "rebel" as he appreciates order too much to dissolve into anarchy, but from meeting him you'd think that he was one of those "bad kids". And he is in a way, Johnny displays extremely addictive behaviors. And as a serious person who is stuck on regimented order, he finds escape in the blissful nature of drugs and drink and cigarettes. Of course he doesn't start out with these habits but he does have the kind of personality that will find some sort of escape and abuse it. As a kid that could be video games or food or even reading. Anything to escape his own mind really. Not that he's emo or anything... >.> >.> Okay he's a little emo... Johnny's a bit... touchy... about his puppet strings. And does NOT appreciate people tugging on them, with the exception of Kai, well not an exception, he doesn't like it when she does it either but he can't really stop her from doing it. Oddly, he's pretty ambivalent about his blind eye. Likes: Order, a line of command, working out (Kai: mmmmmm), cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, guns, war movies, rock and metal music (hells yeah he likes Metallica! What you didn't see it coming?) Dislikes: Kai, frivolous things, useless people, chaos Fears: That he'll never stop the substance abuse... Secrets: If I told you then it wouldn't a freaking secret would it! scream Personal songs: "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Disposable Heroes", "Master of Puppets" all by Metallica Quote: (may change depending on my mood) "Your life and actions have little meaning, leave now." MORE SKETCHES OF JONATHAN! XDJohnny plays the guitar, yeah he plays an X-Plorer just like James Hetfield, what of it!?  Profile of his smexyness:  How the strings will attach to his wrist, it's supposed to be a bracelet grafted into his skin with the string attached:  How the strings will attach to his back and shoulders. Again they're like "D" rings grafted into his body:

The Lyrics aka Inspiration For Whom The Bell Tolls Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Sounding gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test there their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they will see what will be, blinded eyes to see
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls Disposable Heroes Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
A servant `til I fall
Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Just do as we say
Finished here, Greeting Death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman
Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you wear, glory seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends
Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Just do as we say
Finished here, Greeting Death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman
Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here
I was born for dying
Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
Had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
Left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun
Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Just do as we say
Finished here, Greeting Death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman
Back to the front. Master of Puppets End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking dark is clear
Leading on your deaths construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Master
Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Master
Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Master, Master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, you promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries
Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too
Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Master
Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
