Echo's New AE Ideas

Hi, Peri, this thread is for you to help me come up with new AE ideas: names, features, etc. The only problem is that I can't think of anything original. When I want to come up with a male AE, Writing's new AE Ronin comes to mind, along with Reuby's AEs, and many others. So that's maybe why my AEs sound similar to other CBers. I'm usually very creative, so this is odd for me.

Liam, care to fill this out? Sure, sure.

Name: Liam. As previously said by Echo.

Appearance: Okay, I'll do this one, Liam. A handsome--why, thank you!--don't interrupt me--teenager with longish brown hair and cute bangs, wears brown and cream varsity jacket with his initial on the front with long-sleeved shirt underneath. Wears jeans and black and white jordans, long striped socks. Has striking, ice-blue eyes with long lashes and thick eyebrows. All true! *smiles proudly*

Age: 15, soon to be 16.

Personality: I like to play tennis and hockey. I'm all into sports and gaming, and I go to the local highschool by the Hallowswift home. You know, it's really quite big. Not as big as the Moonnight Mansion, but still big. For the younger AEs, we have a playset in the backyard. We have a pool, too, and more space to put a soccer goal. My room is papered with posters of famous gamers and tennis players, and we even have a gameroom where the rest of the AEs and I get to game. It's really cool.

Likes: Hockey, tennis, and gaming. History and science. And yes, I do enjoy playing with my siblings, no matter how much I hate to admit it. Also, I like dogs. At our house, we have a border collie named Finn. *Finn barks in background* Finn, I'm recording, stop barking. 

Dislikes: Reading, writing, and math. I do like history and science, though. 

And that's all! Thanks for offering, Peri!

back to the Down to Earth

It's okay that you have some inspiration for your AEs - most of us do - as long as they don't end up too similar to the other AEs. Liam seems like a great AE idea to start building on! I'm assuming they're playing the part of the Sporty AE? Because that's a very original idea on your part - I haven't seen a sporty AE around, really.

I'd be careful, however, not to make sports their entire personality, so when they begin talking to the other AEs, you'll know how they'll act around other people. Since they're an athlete, they probably have some experience being on teams, so maybe they're a team player? In that case, they can also play the role of the Outgoing AE. Outgoing AEs are my name for our most social, friendly AEs. In my mind, they're not over-energetic (your old AE, Magnolia, would be an example of a more energetic AE - perfectly friendly, but less focused and usually louder than Outgoing AEs), and are instead there to be a representative of us when we're in the mood to make friends and have real conversations. 

To better get to know Outgoing AEs, we can take a look at my Outgoing AE, Quinn. Like Liam, Quinn has interests of her own, likes and dislikes, and gets an education (she's homeschooled, for the most part, but takes acting and music classes). And just because Liam and Quinn might end up falling into the same category if you decide to make Liam your Outgoing AE, doesn't mean they act the same or have the same interests, making them different people. For example, Quinn doesn't really play sports, and she likes math. Let's meet her now:

*Hi, I'm Quinn. I'm the Outgoing AE of our group. I am a team player and am known to make unlikely friends. Some of my hobbies are dying, cutting, and otherwise experimenting with my hair, listening to music, playing keyboard, singing, acting, and studying music theory. I like art, music, reading, practical jokes, math, and acting. A few of my dislikes are history class, country music, and Brussels sprouts.*

Do you see how there are similarities between Liam and Quinn that could allow them both to be the Outgoing AE without making them too similar?

I'm going to make Liam my Sporty AE and Outgoing AE. I have some more AE concepts, but I have to do some more work on them before I post them.

I was thinking that Liam should have a little brother named Ezra, or maybe Tommy. He's the shy AE who doesn't talk much--but, again, I have to work on his concept.

Ooh, your new AE sounds super great... And all my AEs think that he should DEFINITELY have a lil brother named Ezra because Mira thinks he'll be so cute with Lyre or something. (Don't blame me, Mira has the queerest ideas.)

Oh, haha, but wait, isn't Lyre, like, 20?

Also, thank you .:)
