Description
Solomon + LunaSolomon aka Sol
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Luna (real name = Lupin)
Age: 13
Gender: FeMale? (Heh...he's a guy. Really.)
History
Solomon (Sol) and Lupin (Luna) met each other at an orphanage when they were 5 and 8 years old (respectively). It was on that day as well that they found an old black sock puppet lying at the bottom of a toy chest at the orphanage. It was when both reached for the old and smelly toy that they became “brothers”. Since then, Sol and Luna looked after each other as they were put into new foster homes throughout the years they lived at the orphanage. They were always together, and were even adopted together. But on the fifth anniversary of their first meeting (Sol is now 10 years old, and Luna is now 13), two different families adopted them. Sol was to live with a family in the city while Luna was to live in the countryside, which was incidentally nearby the city Sol was to live in. Instead of promising each other to visit, they instead decided to run away and meet up with each other. After a week since they were adopted and brought to their new “homes”, they met up in a suburban area between the city and the countryside to start their new life together again, but now being searched for by their new "parents".
Personalities
Sol and Luna have very contrasting personalities, although they get along as if they were loving brothers.
Sol is very outgoing and can be agressive, always wanting his way. He is extremely impulsive and reckless, but this is often deceptive, and he has a cold, manipulative side. He has a hard time getting along with other people, and is rude to anyone he doesn't know. The only person Sol would not be cold, manipulative, or rude to is Luna; although he DOES play jokes on him and occasionally makes fun of him (playfully, of course). Although he isn't rude to Luna, he isn't particularly polite to him either, or to ANYONE for that matter. Sol is a compulsive liar, and tends to love scary and ugly things; except girls, whom he believes SHOULD be pretty (a secret desire of his is to have 100 wives one day). His favorite hobby is scaring people. He also likes the city life and being out on the street at night so that he can look up at the moon.
Luna is a very reserved and calm person. He is very cautious and calculating about those around him and his environment, although this is because girls make him nervous. He tends to be feminine, sewing and caring for Sol to the best of his ability. He is also almost always mistaken for a girl; the only person who had not done so being Sol, although Sol does give Luna a hard time about the whole gender confusion. Luna is VERY shy around girls, being extremely sensually sensitive and naive; especially when dealing with the advances of a girl who likes him. Because of Sol, Luna is very rarely scared or grossed out by anything. He loves cute things (but his definition of "cute" also includes scary and weird things), and he can be VERY affectionate towards people he likes (mostly towards Ms Bella). Luna is very neutral when having to pick sides, and tends to contradict himself quite a bit. Luna tends to like being in small groups or by himself, being very sensitive to what others are feeling. He isn't bothered by criticism that is directed at him and doesn't really care about what others think of him, but will always get slightly annoyed when ANYONE calls him "Lupin" instead of "Luna" (which he will ALWAYS introduce himself as). He is obsessed with all shades of gray and blue, constantly wearing clothes of those colors. Luna rarely talks to anyone, either relying on body language or simply writing what he wants to say to communicate to others. The ONLY people he will talk to normally are Sol, Ms. Bella and Mr. Bello. Luna loves Ms. Bella, more as a lover than as a son to her mother. He also prefers the country life and being outside early in the morning to watch the sun rise.
Xtra Notes
Sol and Luna will NEVER separate from one another; even in the face of danger.
Luna can sew and repair almost anything (that requires needle and thread), is very perceptive and observant (much like Sherlock Holmes), is very adaptive to his environment and can run extremely fast.
Sol is extremely well practiced in ventriloquism/imitating voices, is quite small and limber (can fit into small spaces), has a tendency to be able to piss people without any effort, and finding "weak points" of people.
Mr. Bello + Ms. Bella
Name: Mr. Bello and Ms. Bella, the Sock Puppet
Height: Mr. Bello (24 feet tall, 20 feet long [head to tail], 10 feet wide [side to side]) Ms. Bella (10 feet tall)
History
Mr. Bello and Ms. Bella are twins, but have been described as a single person with two personalities. Before Nyx, they ran an orphanage for abandoned plushes; having been orphans themselves. It was because of their connection with orphans that they decided to go to the human world to live as a toy in an orphanage; which they did until they met Luna and Sol. It was upon their first meeting that both Mr. Bello and Ms. Bella decided that they'd watch over the boys. After hearing what was happening back in their own world and what was going to happen when Sol and Luna were adopted, they decided to bring them both to their world so that they could all be together once more.
Personality
The personality of the sock puppet depends greatly on which of the two boys are using it. The sock puppet becomes Mr. Bello when Sol is using it, while it becomes Ms. Bella when Luna is using it. Both Mr. Bello and Ms. Bello love the two boys dearly, although Mr. Bello favors Sol and treats him much like a father or older brother while Ms. Bella favors Luna and is much like a mother or a lover to him.
Mr. Bello can be described as the loud, crazy and scary uncle who is really nice to those he knows, but can be intimidating to those who don't know him or barely know him. He tends to make a lot of jokes by "acting out" what he's saying to Sol, and most of his jokes are ONLY understood by Sol anyway; but WILL sometimes make a dirty/naughty jokes that Sol will not understand, but will still laughs as if he understood. He is also very critical of Luna, whom he thinks should "man up" and act more like a "real brother" to Sol. He will only refer to Luna by his real name, Lupin; which always annoys Luna.
Ms. Bella can be described as the very nurturing and affectionate lover/mother. He loves both boys dearly, but tends to be more affectionate with Luna than with Sol. She is very protective of the boys, and is willing to do almost anything for their sakes. She is very expressive, using body language and her eyes to communicate; although only Luna truely understands what she wants or what she is trying to say. Ms. Bella wishes she could love Luna properly, perhaps more than a mother's love and more like as a lover.
Fighting Style/Abilities
Mr. Bello's and Ms. Bella's fighting style are different from each other, but they are both protective of Sol and Luna, and neither Mr. Bello nor Ms. Bella wish to harm anyone (even in fights, they will avoid severly hurting their enemies). Mr. Bello is more agressive and "in your face", and relies heavily on intimidating his opponents. Ms. Bella is much more protective than Mr. Bello, and will normally remain at least within a few feet away from Luna and Sol; not wanting to be far from them. They are both large in size, both are able to move EXTREMELY fast (even Bello, despite being large), both can emit noxious + acid fumes from their bodies, and both can be repaired with thread and needle. Although they do share some strengths, they do have individual abilities:
Mr. Bello can spit out a hardening mucus that can encase an enemy with a disgusting smelling goo that hardens into a kind of shell. Also, since he is over 2 times larger than Ms. Bella, he is more easily destructive when moving about. Also, his "hide" is much harder than Ms. Bella's, which gives him extra protection (when the sock isn't cleaned, heh). Since he is connected with Sol, the father away Mr. Bello is from the boy the weaker his "skin" becomes (the thread unravels from where Sol is wearing the sock from Mr. Bello). Also, Mr. Bello is the only one of the two that is able to talk; although he can only accomplish this through Sol, who uses his ventriloquism (Sol makes Mr. Bello's voice loud, low and booming).
Ms. Bella is able to move independently, something that Mr. Bello cannot do. Whenever she is moving about by herself, the "end" with her sock hole is hidden away under a kind of dress/skirt. When Luna has the sock on, Ms. Bella becomes very sensitive to his desires and commands. Also, because of Luna's skill at sewing, she can sew on extra limbs onto her body (like arms, tentacles, and maybe even legs). Her hair is made up of dozens upon dozens of strands of thread and needle, which she can use either to sew things onto herself, repair herself, or control them as tentacle-like weapons. Ms. Bella is much faster than Mr. Bello, and is more dexterious than him; being smaller and slimmer in size. Also, she can emit a perfume-like fregrance that acts as a kind of "happy mist" that brings a sense of content to any who inhale the fumes (because the sock is now clean, heh).

I'm glad you like it! Hopefully we'll get in, and be able to develop these characters more.
They've really grown on me...I'm glad we teamed up for this!

Yeah! Me too
I think I want to redo the ref, though, if you don't mind coloring it again...

Hmm...what kind of changes did you want to make?

lunalupa In reply to InsaneSmiley [2009-06-21 05:51:50 +0000 UTC]
Well, I'd like to add more expressions and sort of 'in vivo' sketches, to give a better feel of how the characters act. Also I feel like I made Sol too girly and Luna not girly enough

InsaneSmiley In reply to lunalupa [2009-06-21 06:50:41 +0000 UTC]
Hmm...that'd be fine; I'd just update the image, and then add the stuff you wanted to add in. I mean, it's just stuff you'd like to add to the refs, right?

Well, seeing as I'm lame and disappeared for a couple weeks (and my computer no longer accesses the internet ) I didn't get a chance to upload anything. I'll see if I can dig up a flash drive so I can post them anyway--at least that way my effort will not have been in vain
Oh, and I did want to revamp it completely because Sol looks way too girly and Luna not girly enough. I was thinking longer shorts and slightly shorter hair for Sol and larger eyes/softer features for Luna. And I think he should wear a girl's shirt under his jacket. Yes/no?

I understand how things can be; unfortunately I'm gonna be LEAVING for LA and then for France...so I'll be gone for two weeks. D>
BUT...If you can get me the images by tomorrow or Friday, I MAY be able to make the changes and color it. Hmm...I do agree that Sol's hair could be shorter and his shorts longer; and as for Luna...perhaps longer hair (also in the back), larger eyes with smaller glasses (maybe?), and something that's sutle for the girl shirt (like something that COULD also be for a guy, like a heart pattern or a flower...not TOO girly, but only slightly).
I'll be around still around and have internet next week, but I may not be able to get in touch with you later on when I'm in France (will be there from the 10th to the 19th).
