Description *jumps on the bandwagon*

Both boys, both treated like girls, both named after characters in plays that ended pretty tragically (tragedy occurred because of an affair; bam genius).

I need to get used to making dynamic poses.

[MAJOR EDIT: Did new art for it. EDIT #2: Added History to both. MAJOR EDIT #2: Izolda has been devolved to Espurr. Stats have been altered, Izolda has new History art, and both have new app art. EDIT#4: Gave Izolda a moveset (all confirmed for Espurr except Miracle Eye; will change it later) and fixed up the text edges. They're now a Photoshop-generated one instead of being hand-made. EDIT#5: Switched out Meowstic Move for one that Espurr can learn. Edited the Mars symbols.]



Othello
Age Adult
Species Ursaring, basic color
Othello was born on the great seas by seamen parents.When he was brought ashore, he soon after was taught self-discipline. Teddithello was an avid student in the martial arts despite his weight. His Swords Dance routine is, in fact, one of the main warm-up maneuvers from martial arts class, just without most of the kicking. After he evolved into an Ursaring, he ended up taking a job as a rental guard. It was terribly boring for him (especially since the pay was horrible), so one day he kidnapped the rich family's son for ransom. With the ransom money he bought a boat, and so he sailed off to his home (wherever that was). One night, however, he got caught in a terrible storm, in which destroyed the boat and washed him up ashore. He ended up becoming shipwrecked on the side of some strange land and woke up in a washed up shack, in a city the locals call the 'Dreamer's Eye'.

Izolda
Age Adolescent
Species Espurr, basic color
Izolda was the 'unwanted' child of Meowstic parents. His parents wanted a girl, and his mother has complications with Egg-laying, so they ended up giving him the name his mother wanted to name her first daughter… only a bit altered from what she originally wanted it to be spoken. Izolda has grown to notice this resentment over his male-born stature. It might have been the dresses, or the lace, or the ribbons, or the frills, or even the ballet lessons. He is a very introverted, spoiled little punk who threatens his parents with suicide whenever he doesn't get what he wants. One day, his parents told him the news of his mother's upcoming eggnancy, and that she is 'sure that it's a girl this time'. Very overjoyed over this news, he goes to prepare his favorite noose on his favorite tree. All of a sudden, he ends up getting caught up into a very brutish guard's scheme of getting easy money with the benefits to Izolda being the faking of Izolda's death and the ability to make a new name and life for himself. Izolda accepts (of course), and the scheme takes place. The Ursaring ends up getting the cash, and Izolda does a remarkable job of faking his own death. When they leave for a new life, they get caught into a storm and become shipwrecked off the coast of some foreign land. Izolda ended up dragging the passed-out Ursaring halfway through the forests until his legs gave up and a group of locals took the duo in temporarily under the roof of their beat-up shack.

I have to say, I love the backstories for these characters.

Gehehe, I'm glad you do; I've got to set the scene somehow, and I'd say that it explains their character a little bit.

[Othello becomes startled and almost knocks the lizard off of his shoulders with a swift move to the right. He then spots her from the corner of his eye.]


Othello: Oh er... hi there, eheheh. Careful wit' the nose; I'm mighty sensitive 'bout it. Wat'cher doin' on my shoulder, booping my nose unexpectedly?

Swords Dance Ursaring... That's a bit frightening...

With a speed in his step and that Swords Dance move, a foe can bearly evade and escape his grasp.
