Description Allen:       Hayy, Sapphy, should we pick up where we left off last night? *slaps her leg with riding crop*
Sapphire: Wha!? Allen! 
Ally:         ...do you need some alone time? 
Sapphire: No!  It's not what you think!
Allen:       Hehe


I would be lying if I said that Allen wasn't kinky~  Left to right the Characters are Allen Rail, Sapphire Kingston and Ally Bates.  Allen is pretty tiny, you could also consider her an acrobat so she's pretty strong.  Sapphire is a hard core book worm, so she's a bit softer.  Ally is a bleeding beast, nothing about her is soft right down to her personality.  

Just wanted to practice drawing women's torso's and chests.  I had a pretty good mental image of women from Allen Rail's story, (I was planing on the Mists, but, I-don't really know all of the names that go with the physical descriptors, and didn't feel like looking it up in one of the 20 journals I have...)  Anyways, my girls are fun to draw!  Not to mention they have school uniforms, under their skirts they wear these elastic shorts, (it prevents flashing and is more comfortable, and no one has to check hemlines) They're getting changed for gym.  
Ally's hips came out a bit weird, but eay, it was fun XD 

comments, questions or critiques are greatly appreciated ^^

Well Sapphire would probably blush and walk away (she doesn't know what to do with compliments and she is also very shy!) Allen would definitely hug you (she's very affectionate) but Ally, well, she's the one that you've got to watch out for XD  She's the only one who would take it badly XD 
Awa, thanks!  I had to get a picture of my girls in here, I don't want a repeat of an episode last year when I forgot how to draw my girls! XD

Hhee, Sapphire would definitely relate to me. I mean, for me to come up to three amazing girls like them, takes me balls tbh.
Aww, Allen would probably be my fave and admitting that she is badass would definitely be hard, like harder than the other two since she's a personal fave. I'd probably hug back. Hopefully, I'll stay on her good side so she doesn't betray me. 'v';
Ally, oh boy... I'd probably walk away with a shy blush if she looked at me for a second. (Though, I kinda imagine she might take it like she literally has a "bad" ass XD)

Well I say you did justice with your OCs. I do love seeing characters people create get the spotlight and have the chance to shine. And hey, girl or boy anatomy drawing is hard so do it as much as you can XD

Well If you consider that. 😏 In my case I can relate to Sapphire being shy and such over compliments. X3 but id probably wanna hang with Allen because shes awesome and such, but be shy to do so knowing some risk she could pull on me, and also because shes too awesome. DX
Ally seems quite sweet but a grump needd space.

Indeed.

AlexandeNight In reply to Loron-Lew [2018-06-26 20:56:21 +0000 UTC]

That's great!  Yeah, it is pretty useful.  

Thanks! -^^-   
They are my oc's from Allen's story (the small one); Allen and Sapphire (the brown haired girl) are the main characters.  Allen is pretty acrobatic (like a bleeding spider monkey honestly, she can climb practically anything, pretty confident round heights, jumping, damn flexible too).  This skill is invaluable in her work.  Ally is just a beast.  She's a mountain biker, (she'll climb all day if it means that she gets a sick downhill), a boxer and a dancer.  (her parent's don't know about boxing, and she never tells them what kind of biker she is, and dancing was the only thing that they made her do.)  She looks (and probably is) chronically annoyed.  Sapphire is a book worm through and through which is why she's a little softer than they are.  She's not bad at sports, but she prefers a good book.  I'm sure that her largest workout is hauling the books to and from the library.  Allen and Sapphire are also roommates, one of Allen's favorite pass times is to tease Sapphire.  
They all go to the same school, and have a school uniform (boots, skirt, button down shirt, coat and bow tie) with standard undergarments seen here.  I was going to draw them with different patterned bras-but-found out I just wanted to focus on muscle structure~ It's a start, but I have a ways to go before they look like the images in my mind XD

Wow! Just wow! You really have a background set
for your original characters. To be honest, I love the way
Ally sounds. She's very athletic. Although the bookwarm
seems pretty cool to. All three of them have awesome names
that go with them real well.

Do you have a comic/manga of them at all? I would love
to read on these original characters. I think it's awesome that
Allen sounds a little like a flying monkey with all her acrobatic
abilities. Oh and what kind of Genre is your story?
Slice of life? Actions? Comedy. I just want to know so much more
now that you explained who these three girls are

AlexandeNight In reply to Loron-Lew [2018-07-01 21:33:14 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yeah, they've been with me for a while now (round 4 years).  They've made it really easy for me to do character development.  They are a strange bunch, and I swear they get quirkier by the year XD  Thank you for your interest ^^
Haha, yeah, it's one of the few stories I have where all the characters have full names.  Allen Rail, Sapphire Kingston, Ally Bates (there are a lot more characters too).  Allen and Sapphire are the main characters, with much of the story being told from Allen's point of view.  

Categories would be Fantasy/supernatural, comedy, drama and yuri 
They're probably in their late teens early 20's for the most part, attending a private all girls college (Sapphire's dad is on the board of trustees).  Ally's family has been sending their daughter's there for generations and tend to make generous donations.  Allen's guardian had recently enrolled her in the school, and had it set up so that she'd room with Sapphire Kingston.  Allen had been living off the streets, doing whatever it took to make ends meet.  She didn't know who she was or where she had come from.  All she knew was that she had magic, but using it came at too great a cost.  At her most desperate was when she met her benefactor, Lord Yang.  He promised that she'd be able to use her magic without getting sick, that she'd have a name a purpose.  If she agreed to a little contract, she could have all of those things.  Naturally she accepted, and has been the lackey of Lord Yang ever since.  Her assignment at the school is to keep an eye on Sapphire, to keep her safe; and to run little errands for him at night while Sapphire is tucked in bed.  The shadows watch her to make sure that she is doing what is supposed to be done (never a sure thing, she has issues with authority xD)  She's a chaotic neutral all the way.  

as fare as comics go, I don't have much other than the things you saw a few years ago here Allen Rail Comics
and whatever pictures are here: Allen Rail

Though I do plan on doing a few more short comics.

Wow! Just wow! four years huh? You've put so much
into these characters its beyond interesting! 
I like how you gave them full names. I do 
the same thing with my characters as well

To be honest, I didn't expect that kind of 
category for the story. That makes it even 
better! I love Fantasy, Supernatural, Comedy, drama,
Never read a yuri though. lol
But your story would be the first I'd read.

Allen Rail is starting to sound like a really interesting
character. That is a huge background you gave that
character. I really love what you've done with the
whole character development as well as the back
stories to each character. I would love to see all
this in a comic. It already blows my mind just reading
their back stories. Do you have a picture of Lord Yang?

And what doesn't it mean she gets ill after using her magic?
Does she come up with a cold or something? Uhg so damn
interested. lol

Oh yea!!!! I remember looking at those pictures a
few years ago. I loved them. I would love to see
how you draw your comics now. You should really
do a series for these characters. Like go to Tapas.com or
webcomic.com and create your own story. You would do
good there! You already got me as a fan! XD

AlexandeNight In reply to Loron-Lew [2018-07-06 06:03:20 +0000 UTC]

Cool!  It's nice when your characters have a full name ^^

XD Yeah, most of my characters look pretty normal, and they're generally confined by the norms of the human world, so they don't have many opportunities to show off the fantastical side of themselves.  But Allen, just because she is such a free spirit, brings an element of comedy.  

Haha, well, I've been hard pressed to find a yuri that has plot, or one with characters with believable personalities.  It's not the main focus of my story by any means, the characters are compatible, so, why not?! 
Though, if you like slice of life with comedy I would recommend "Their Story" by TanJiu.  It's the only one that I've read where I'd actually like to hang out with the characters.  But I digress.  

I'm glad she sounds interesting ^^  She's been quite a trip to write honestly, very outgoing....
Lord Yang?  Sadly not, (well, nothing recent) I've always had trouble picturing him to be honest.  He also has a lot of names~  This name is derived from the Yin-Yang symbol, with Yang meaning Light.  He will also answer to the name God of Light, which, in fact, he is.  Doesn't make him any less of a jerk.  Allen generally communicates with him through the shadow messengers.  

Haha, she wishes it was a cold!  Really, how ill she gets depends on the size of the spell, the stronger the magic/the more she uses, the worse off she is.  Starts with mild shakes, nausea, tremors, seizures, temperature spikes, and from there it can tear her apart from the inside, quite literally.  But she generally loses consciousness well before that point (saves her life honestly).  This picture was done just for funzies: What The Hell Allen!?
Thanks to the contract she signed with Lord Yang, he can also trigger this...ailment (for lack of a better term) to varying degrees as punishment for defying him.  Some discretion is involved, because, she really isn't good at following orders XD

Thanks >///<   
To be honest, my goal was to do a webcomic with them at some point.

To be honest! YOU GOTTA MAKE A WEB COMIC!!!!
THE WHOLE SICK THING AFTER USING MAGIC IS
FREAKING AMAZING!!! (Not for Allen) 

I'm not sure if I like the Lord Yang guy. He seems
too mysterious. He also seems kinda shady to.
He almost seems like a troublesome fly. Kinda
like loki god of mischief =__=
Even though he has the name God of Light.

Yea, Allen seems very free spirited. And that
is cool how she can bring comedy to the field
of things. You can become attached to a character
like that.

Yea, that is very true. the same can be said
with Yaoi to. Though I personally don't find Yaoi
to be all that entertaining. I read two manga that
caught my attention that were Yaoi.
Gravitation and I forget the title of the other one =__=

Their Story huh? It sounds pretty interesting. I am
going to have to see if I can find it and read it.
I do like some slice of life. But its hard to find any
good ones.

To be honest, it had to of taken a long time to 
come up with a story for each character like that.
You put so much background into each character.
I am shocked you haven't made any profile pictures
of each character yet. That would be interesting to see.

I really can't wait to see more from you. If you made a
web comic of this story. It would be my first official Yuri. lol

GASP!!! ANOTHER PICTURE!!! I GOTTA CHECKS THIS OUT!!!!
Okay BRB! I am going to message on the other picture!!!! XD

AlexandeNight In reply to Loron-Lew [2018-07-09 17:52:45 +0000 UTC]

Haha!  Well I guess I'll have to now XD  Glad you like that concept, personally rather fond of it myself (sorry Allen XD) 

Haha, well, the guy is kind of shady.  Though I will say that Allen is more like Loki than anyone else (I don't know what to do with her at times)

Yeah, I've also been hard pressed to find Yaoi with plot.  Though I have been able to find some more Yaoi/shounen ai with plot than Yuri/Shoujo ai with plot.  Most of them that I've run across focus on the relationship and slice of life- no murder, no magic, no saving the world or being heroic~  I just want something else like Legend of Korra!  Haha, I remember Gravitation, it was pretty interesting. 
Mangakakalot.com has some pretty good stories on it, from both of the discussed genres.  You'll also be able to find Their Story on there (the first one in the Shoujo-Aie section, I believe that it goes by the Chinese name on that sight, Tamen de Gushi)  The same studio that produced thier story also is producing a Shounen ai called 19 Days, which is also a hilarious slice of life that somehow involves gangsters?!  (sometimes I read them in the original Chinese to keep in practice with the language, in case you're wondering) 

Haha, well, some of the parts of the characters came to me in the first month or so, and were just fleshed out from there.  The entire thing about Lord Yang, Allen and her contract were well established.  I also knew really early on that she fell in love with the daughter of someone important (Sapphire) and that it did make it a little harder for her to do her job.  It was a trippy dream.  Initially, Allen was missing and eye, but it didn't make much since as the story developed.  The secondary characters were also pretty easy to incorporate.  Part of my goal is to have both Allen and Sapphire have lives separate of each other.  They get on pretty well, but hanging around anyone for to long can get annoying.  Also, Allen has altogether way to much energy for Sapphire; and Sapphire has locked Allen out of their room on more than one occasion XD 

Haha, well thanks, I'll try not to disappoint XD

Yessss! You must! I really do love

you go talking like your characters are
real. That is so cool! I really thought I
was the only one who does that.

Allen like loki. Now that is interesting. 
I would love to see more about this Allen
Character. She really catches my interest.

Wow! I will have to take a look at those series.
Something like Legends of Korra? Is legends of
Korra pretty good? I have never seen that one 
before. To be honest, I have a hard time making
romance comics or slice of life. All my stuff has 
action in it. 

Wait! You can read in Chinese? are you Chinese?
or Asian? I know several different languages myself.
English (Of course) Japanese, Greek, and very little
Chinese. Chinese is the toughest Language in the world.
Next to English.

Hanging around a person for too long can be pretty
troublesome. Separate lives huh. That is interesting.
Though Sapphire and Allen do sound rather cute.
Everybody has their pushing point.Locked Allen out
of the room? Jee, I guess it does get pretty bad. :/
Wow. Never expected it to go that far. lol

Between a contract and the one you love. Wow,
that is pretty deep. Still don't like Lord Yang =__= lol

You're more then welcome! And I am sure you won't disappoint.

Haha, no you're not the only one who does that!  (I actually have one character I consult on school work projects- she's a bit harsh, but if she's in the mood to talk, it's effective XD)
I'm glad to hear you do that as well!  It really draws out their personality~ adds depth- I don't know, it's fun!

Glad to hear it!  Aie, she's rather like Loki, both the good and the bad sides.  (honestly, out of all of my main characters, she scares me the most XD)

Legend of Korra is pretty good (well, I don't know if you have ever watched Avatar the Last Air Bender, but LoK is the sequel to that.)  Since the first series were so successful, Nickelodeon gave the writers free rain, and it's jammed packed with action, adventure, social commentary, addresses ptsd and trauma, and yeah, the two female mains end up hooking up.  I only mention this because the first season is a little...cringy.  The bad part of it is that they put a little to much in each season and didn't have enough episodes to build it.  But Korra is a bleeding beast!  Like damn, really enjoy that character, and Asami, she's epic!  All the way through!  There is not a thing that I don't like about her.  

Haha, same actually (I know it doesn't look it from my gallery right now) but I'm doing the 30 day otp challenge and they give these cutsie prompts-and I thought I should try it because...I need to work on that XD (I actually got feeling homework from a professor, it's kind of great xD)  Ahh, action scenes, those are cool!  
I kind of have a thing about drawing blood, injuries and sickness~ don't know why, just kind of liked it... 

I can read a little Chinese (took 6 years of it, it's a beautiful language~).  Naw, I'm just your run of the mill white kid.  When I was little, I was fascinated by the Great Wall of China, the landscape, mountains- I kind of sucked at French, so I decided (against my teacher's recommendation) to take Chinese~  In many ways it's easier because it's so different from English, also, the characters make sense to me.  But I'm not very good at speaking it or listening (little better with Japanese, but I need some actual lessons XD).  I try to keep in practice by reading at the very least.  Have a semi insane dream of biking along the Great Wall someday. 
Whoa, that's impressive!  Greek, Japanese and Chinese, that's so cool!  May I ask how you came to those languages?  

Yeah, I've always liked relationships where each person is still a person in their own right (enmeshed relationships can give me the creeps).  Also, kind of hard for Allen to steel stuff if Sapphire is breathing down her neck.  

Haha, Sapphire gets cranky when you interrupt her reading time or schoolwork.  (Or when you steal her textbooks, read them all because 'your board' and start to annoy her with all the things she still has to study)  
I don't know if you're into personality typing or Myers Briggs Typology, but Allen is an ENTP (a dysfunctional one btw) and Sapphire is an INTJ, and that's a recipe for interesting moments.

Wow consulting a character about school work

GAH! Allen scares you!? Yea! I have a character
that scares me too! That is Asilla. She can be
really scary when she is pissed off or push to
a breaking point.

Awe man, I have to watch LOK now!
I didn't know it was a sequel to Avatar
the last Air Bender! Just wow! I thought it
was a cheap knock off or something like that. 
Korra sounds like a very interesting character
I am going to watch it from beginning to end now.
Thanks for the Cringy heads up in season one
though. It can't be as bad as Avatar The Last 
Air Bender Live Action. such trash =___=

SIX YEARS!? Yup... that sounds about right.
Chinese is tough for me. I am glad you were
able to find it easy to understand.
The characters were hard for me to make sense
of. 
Yup! I learned Greek, Japanese, and some Chinese
I am working on French, German, and Korean right 
now. Korean is pretty damn easy. Its as easy as 
Spanish. Oh, I wanted to learn these different 
languages so I can translate my own series.
I also want to learn Russian as well.

Ah, So you're Caucasian
I am Japanese and African myself. Mother is
African and my father is Japanese. So it is
natural that I know Japanese Language.

I would have to agree with you there.
enmeshed relationships can be rather troublesome.
Especially with characters like Allen and Sapphire. 
I can't believe that Allen is a thief too. =___=; 
sheesh! That character is something.

OH YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME! I KNOW FOR SURE
THAT ALLEN IS A DYSFUNCTIONAL ONE!
Myers Briggs Typology test? I heard of that.
And yea Allen and Sapphire's relationship is one of 
the most interesting relationships I have ever seen >.>
And I am not shitting you that. 

How long does it take for you to make one character
from scratch? That includes personality in all.

It can work out pretty well, But Alexande can be pretty harsh.  It's an old pic, but it's her: Training with Alexande (Inktober day 15)   She's a bit harsh, but she's also the most organized of my oc's (the others are INTP's like me and then there's Allen the dysfunctional ENTP.... and if I want to get a project complete, I don't listen to her xD).  Sometimes I have them do a running commentary on classes that get a bit slow... the results are hilarious, because they're all very opinionated.  

Ohh, yeah, Allen scares me.  I've got a code that I live by, and Allen, kind of breaks my code, and it freaks me out XD She's got a layer of unpredictability that doesn't sit well with me, but makes her fun to write.  Gyra and Razen have their breaking points, but I understand them, so they don't unnerve me in the same way.  

Yes LOK is a real spin off of Avatar!  It's a little light on character development, but real deep in social issues; makes for a pretty interesting show to be honest.  And you get the return of some old tropes, like cabbage man became Cabbage Co. and still has a bad relationship with the Avatar XD some things never change.  There just needed to be more episodes in a season.  But it's all about the balance, and there's something so beautiful about that.  
I was spared from watching the live action shame by a friend.  They say never judge a book by it's cover, but damn man, those trailers made me suspicious as hell.  I didn't want to sit through another Eragon.  Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings (not the hobbit) hopefully will go a long way to improving future development of fantasy films... it's just gonna be a little painful till then T.T 
...out of curiosity have you seen Voltron?  

I find the characters a little easier (I mean, there are still thousands of them, plus old and simplified versions).  But knowing the radicals is very helpful.  It's just hard for me to speak and do listening comprehension.  Of course, it doesn't help to speak to people with heavy American accents either XD  And there are so many dialects and other languages, it's truly amazing!  I just need to bleeding go to China.  

Ahh, that's amazing!  Sounds like you have a real gift for languages~  

Yep!  Haha, maybe so.  Still, ya know what happens when ya assume XD 
My best friend's mother is from Japan, but she had to re-learn Japanese in college.  We joke that with her knowledge of Hiragana and Katakana, and my knowledge of Chinese characters, we can probably decipher some Kanji (I know they Chinese and Japanese character systems are different, but there are still areas where there is overlap.  Having a vague idea as to what characters say is better than nothing XD)  But she also has a real apatite for languages, all the languages.  It's fun!  

Yeah, Allen's special....

I'm afraid that I'm rather overzealous when it comes to the Myers briggs.  There is a free version called 16 personalities; not quite as good as the Myers briggs, but it's pretty  comprehensive.  www.16personalities.com/ in case you're interested.  

I'm glad you like them ^^

Hmm, well, it can be anywhere from a day to years.  Gyra Blackwell (my first oc) took me years to nail down, probably 5-6, and she went through a hell of a lot of re-inventions.  From an innocent doe-eyes child, to an emo "leave me the hell alone" type to where she is now.  Ally Bates, on the other hand, took a few hours.  
Once I have them in my head, I give them the 16 personalities test, read through the type, see if it matches the picture in my head or not.  It's not a perfect match, because, the test isn't meant to capture 100% of a person's personality, (it's just a tool that looks at what personality you fit best with.  Like Robins egg blue and indigo blue are both very different colors, yet, they're still blue.)  It gives me a nice base line and characteristics to consider.  Gyra and Razen are both INTP's but they're vastly different (I just have a thing for torturing INTP's, they're kind of funny to play with)
Alistar came out as an ESTP, and it was bleeding creepy reading through the results, captured him beautifully and gave me a lot of ideas.  Is he a perfect ESTP? Hell no, but he's definitely and ESTP  Though, Allen's story and The Mists had some of the quickest character development from me.  The Mists is kind of a beast, it needs a lot of characters, even more than Allen's story and that's something....  Gyra's story also needs more characters, but she's content to take it easy and get to know the people at a slow, deliberate rate, allows me to focus on other characters.  

What about you?  How long does it take you to develop a character?  And how do you go about it?

Wow! That is actually amazing!
I should consult my one of my characters
on something like school projects as well.
It might be fun!  I love to give my characters 
as much of a realistic personality as I can

You have a character that scares you to!?
Mine is Asilla from Carriers. She can be really
scary at times. The more I hear about Allen.
The more I want to learn about her.

Yea, I actually love Avatar the last Air Bender.
Didn't know Legend of Korra was a continuation. 
Wow, with the way you talk about the series.
It really has me wanting to watch it from beginning
to end. I could look past a little cringiness but if its too
much. I can't handle then I don't know. I did watch all
of Avatar the last air bender. And loved it. I just didn't
like the live action. It was done all wrong.

30 day opt challenge? Never heard of it. It sounds
rather interesting. Cutsie prompts huh? I think you'll
do just fine to be honest  
Wow you got that as homework from your professor?
That is great!
Action scenes are my favorite I've done a lot of blood
injury. But never sickness. That is a very interesting one.
Considering that Allen gets sick after using magic

That is very impressive that you can speak Chinese.
It is a very beautiful language. Its just hard as hell
to learn. Plus there is two different types of Chinese 
language. There is Cantonese and Mandarin.
I was wanting to learn Mandarin. Ah, so your're
Caucasian. I myself am Japanese and African.
It took you six whole years huh? That sounds about
right. To be honest. I know a little bit of French to.
French is rather difficult as well. But its fun. 
Biking along the great wall of China would be an
amazing dream! Never seen it myself accept for in
pictures. But that wall looks huge as frick!

Japanese is rather simple. Just like Korean Language
is very easy to learn. Hm? YUP! ^_^
I know Japanese, Greek, and some Chinese.
I'm learning a little French and German too.
I want to learn how to speak Russian as well.
But I wanted to learn all these languages so I can
translate my own stories. In my series Calamity
Trigger. There is a Race known as Magentanian
(Mage-in-Tan-Knee-An) They're native language 
is Greek. But in the story it is known as Magentanian
Language. Not Greek. 

Ha! Enmeshed relationships can become a problem to
if you think about it. Wow!Allen is a thief to. O.O!
Jee, She really is something. Yea, I see why you want 
them to have separate lives. Allen is such a handful
isn't she?

OH! I KNOW THAT ALLEN IS A DYSFUNCTIONAL ONE!
I've heard of the Myers Briggs Typology test.
And it does make an interesting relationship between
Allen and Sapphire. You did a lot of work
for these characters haven't you. Did a lot of
hard working research it seems. How long does it take
for you to develop one character? That includes his or
her's personality and everything about them.

I'd advise it, it's fun to try every once in a while.  They tend to have a very unorthodox way of doing things xD 

What scares you about Asilla?  

If you know the cringe is there first season, it's a bit easier.... at least it was much easier to watch the second time round XD 

Yes, repulsively cute prompts xD  30 Day OTP Challenge LIST ! ! ! !  in case you're interested.  I'm stuck on day 26, getting married.  I don't like weddings....*shivers*
Yes I did, because I get stuck in my head and I need to learn to go with the feels.... 
With the otp challenge, kind of proud of myself because I made it seven pics before I had to do something weird.  The Mists (otp challenge day 8) Shopping
The Slayer's acadamy doesn't have a place to shop, so I went, hell with it, there will be blood!  Why does Razen look so nonplussed?  I don't know, maybe he's doped up on a poison arrow.  It was just weird!

Ohh, action scenes are fun!  Do you have a favorite one that you've done?  
I've been studying up on how to do goar, it's a little harder to find tutorials than I thought it would be xD So I've been using medical books.  Kind of an interesting read really.  
Yeah, my characters are generally played by bad luck, it's kind of fun.  Fun fact, Razen tends to get sick if he doesn't use his magic, it tends to bottle up quite unpleasant; the danger is that it can be quite explosive.  Demon magic can be hard to control.  

Pfft, if you heard me speak it you wouldn't think that it's impressive xD  Though I do know enough to confuse the hell out of telemarketers.  Yeah, two main languages, then there are the dialects and regional accents.  I finally got my dad to watch a sub movie with me (Ip man) and it was in Cantonese! XD Then there are old and new character systems.  It's pretty cool!   Yep, I am.  Ah, so you're Japanese and African Holly buckets dude, that's just amazing how many languages you're cultivating!  

Aie, it's a bit crazy honestly.  It's difficult terrain, I don't believe that there is a continuous road system along it either.  Also, there are a number of sections to the great wall, not all connected, and they're still finding more of the wall.  Regardless, the plan is to start at the north end in the summer and work my way south.  When my dad finished grad school, he took off on his bike, broke a part on his rat trap the first day and ended up traveling 100 miles trying to get the damn thing fixed.  He'd never gone more than 30 miles before that.  He kept doing 100 miles every day, biking around the US and then traveling down around South America.  All alone, unsupported, without being able to speak more than a handful of words in spanish.   He's got a lot of stories.  
I did pick up a little Japanese from shows I've watched, and some things my best friend taught me back in grade school.  

Damn, that's cool!  That takes some dedication with language translations too.  I like the idea of using Greek as a base language for Magentanian; that to is a beautiful language (my friend is fluent).  I've got something similar with the Elven language in Scarlet Shadows.  It's based off of the Chinese Language (in that it is a more straight forward sort of language, no congregating verbs, no tenses) but they do have an alphabet, so in that way it's like Japanese.  

Yeah, they can be a problem and they're annoying!  You don't need to be one person to act as one! or even to be a couple.  That can lead to problems... Especially if you're interested in Allen... but I digress...  Oh yeah, she's a handful alright  
'
I mean, I guess so...but it doesn't feel like work when you're enjoying what you're doing?  I take a passive and active way of developing my characters.  I will put them through the Myers Briggs when I feel like they have enough substance to back them up, but before that, I just kind of play with them, see what happens.  Development can take anywhere from a day to years.  
I know that Sapphire seems pretty bland in comparison to Allen, but, she's got a major role to play in the story.  More than just being a damsel in distress too.  
It's an old pic, but you may have fun with it A Forced Rebirth (SapphireKingston)
