Description Three character from my in-progress, unpublished novel-thing. Technically, it's sci-fi, not fantasy (the mermaid is genetically engineered from human stock, not a different species, and it happens in the future with space ships and stuff) but visually it looks like fantasy, so in the fantasy section it goes.

Arun : cheerful, nerd/jock mix. He's a nice guy who's had an easy life, so he doesn't worry much. He's working on his doctorate on extraterrestrial submarine invertebrate life, especially the kind that lives around volcanoes. In other words, he studies alien shellfish and creepy-crawlies. u___u;; His hobbies include diving, environmental activism, and laughing at people who takes academics too seriously.

Liadan : appears sweet and obedient, but that's because she's an adept of the "yes dear, whatever you say" branch of the school of I'll Do Whatever I Want, Thank You. Her job within her nomadic clan consists in planting useful or tasty seaweed along their path, so that when they come back the year after that they have something to eat or make nests with. She's also mildly telepathic.

Krish : A secondary character, Krish is Arun's coworker. Her field of study is geology, especially the volcanic kind. She happens to like rocks a lot better than people. She does have a few friends, and she isn't totally devoid of empathy, but most of the time she likes her quiet and solitude. She's also a very structured person who doesn't like it when rules and laws are broken.

They're so cute!

Arun and Liadan are always adorable, but I think my favorite is Krish. She looks like she's pouting and would rather be somewhere else.

Wow, if even possible, I am now looking even more forward to that novel of yours. You've just been sΓ³ busy with giving the characters proper introductions, I've already taken a liking to them.
And I read the crack ficlet with Blue, Liadan and Arun. With the weird seaweed. Heh, you just can't let go of the genderbending, can you? *snerk*
'nyways, love the art. Cute-to-the-max chibis as always. ^_^ Bwah, though Krish is giving me a death glare. *hides* o.o

Woah!! Super cool O.C alert!! I really like Arun and Liadan
Hey is there going to be any rooomance in your novel between 2 certain PEOPLE *hint* in your novel?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

askerian In reply to Shay123 [2008-05-22 01:08:41 +0000 UTC]

No real pairings, but there's going to be a lot of subtext. But then there's also going to be subtext between her and Blue (and for people who like yaoi it won't be hard to find subtext between Arun and Blue too. ) Maybe if I ever write the first book i'll get up to figuring out who shacks up with who. In the first book they have much better things to do than that, like survive.

A lot of the time I'm with Krish...I like rocks better than humans.
Can't blame her really, we humans can be so stupid sometimes.

...How exactly can someone be "mildly telepathic"?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

askerian In reply to tacklethebear [2008-05-21 23:10:42 +0000 UTC]

She only sends, she doesn't receive, she has to think about it deliberately, and her range is pretty small. Compared to a lot of telepaths in this setting who are always open and aware, that's kinda mild. XD

XD I know the word is weird there, but it was just to point out that she's not a perfect godèmodding telepath. I kinda hate characters who have a special skill that's mastered to the max with no loopholes. it's so boring... urgh.

tacklethebear In reply to askerian [2008-05-22 03:27:29 +0000 UTC]

I totally agree with you on that one. How are you ever supposed to be in suspense if you know they'll win no matter what?

(One of the reasons I hate Superman...even with the whole kyrptonite thing)
