Written By Raining Rainbows/Rainbow Riot

Name: Ash

Age: 20

Gender: Boy

Appearance: Messy black hair, electric blue eyes, freckles, a huge smile, and pointy ears. He likes to wear dramatic, if slightly impractical clothes, like huge flashy coats and hats. And he also really likes the color yellow.

Personality: He's cheerful, eccentric, and an all-around really friendly person! He leans toward the dramatic, and he's known for being quirky and kind. He's always smiling, like always, a huge, genuine (but slightly creepy sometimes) smile. 

Quirks: He can juggle, do twenty-seven cartwheels in a row without getting dizzy, smile all the time, do card tricks, mimic other people's voices, and sing.

Flaws: He's honestly kind of useless in any dangerous situation . . . he's just there for moral support.

Shipping: Heck yeah! To both boys and girls!

Written By Hummingbird (edited to include a weapon change Hummingbird added later):

Name: Sebastian Whitacre

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Appearance: Tall, with bright blue eyes and dark brown hair pulled back into a short ponytail. He has a course green tunic, and has a crossbow and quiver slung over his hsoulders. His rope belt has several pouches and a large knife in a sheath hanging from it. His brown trousers are tucked into a riding boot on his left foot, and are rolled up on his right to reveal the bottom of a sturdy peg leg.

Personality: He's very serious, and always alert, like his father, who guards the town, taught him to be. He's suspicious of anything remotely magical or mysterius. He's taken their mission to heart, and so he gets irritable if anyone jokes around or doesn't take things seriously. He would rather attack a magical creature than try to speak to it. He doesn't smile much, but when he does, his whole face softens.

Quirks: He talks to the horses and woodland creatures as if they can understand him. He can ride very well even with the prosthetic leg, but even though he's very good at using it he can't run as fast as others.

Flaws: He doesn't trust very easily, and holds grudges.

Shipping: Open to shipping with girls around his age.

Other: He lost his right leg when a manticore attacked the town one year before the events of this story. Zena, one of the missing children, is his sister.

Written By Emekittycon Kitten:

Name: Bradley

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance: He has deep, chocolate brown hair, that's kinda combed out, but kinda messy, too, since he LOVES the outdoors. He has a grey t-shirt with a denim jeans jacket, with denim jeans and black sneakers. He also has tan skin, pale blue eyes, and a brown hat.

Personality: He can be shy, and kinda friendly, but also defending, and he can be a bit of a hot-head at times...

Quirks: I don't know if this is a quirk, but he can make friends really quickly. He also LOVES apples, especially the Red Delicious kind.

Flaws: He can get hurt easily, so if he trips over a tree root, he'll kinda just lay there for a minute, and he'll start bleeding where ever he hit himself hardest.

Shipping: He would like to be friends with a few guys, and maybe a couple of girls, too.

Written by Gecko:

Name: Azi Kumar

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearence: 5'9, with medium/dark brown skin and a pointy face. Light build and curly black hair, with a huge smile. He has two long daggers that he holds in a reverse grip, and usually carries on his back.

Personality: Azi loves magical creatures almost as much as people, and takes it upon himself to protect them. He thinks they're misunderstood by the village, and knows a lot about them because he likes to spend all his time in the woods. He's a bit of a reckless daredevil but he doesn't like to be in the center of attention. He's very stubborn and will stand up to people who challenge his beliefs. Otherwise, he's pretty sweet and protective of the people he cares about.

Quirks: He likes to play the banjo to annoy people. He's very good at it, and abandoned other less annoying instruments in favor of one that would get people to leave him alone. In general, he's pretty musically talented. Also, he's highly claustrophobic and hates cats.

Flaws: He can act pretty confident and chill on the outside, but he's also hiding a lot of anxiety underneath that. He's kind of insecure, and used to fight people a lot to deny it. He hates admitting that he's wrong, and sometimes his reckless nature puts his friends in danger. Other times, he is relentlessly cheery and won't leave people alone. He's a little up and down, I guess.

Shipping: Boys and girls

Other: His mom died when he was nine, his dad and older siblings all live separately, and he's close to getting kicked out of his house because he doesn't have a lot of money. He's spent a lot of time in and out of the streets and he's been working since he was eleven. He's made his peace with it all, at least on the outside.

Personality: jugemental, free-minded, great public speaker, sarcastic, believes that she can talk her way out of almost every situation, has a pretty weird moral compass: She will let most people get away with committing a crime but not all people, and she has not had the cleanest track record. She is unpredictable and tends to not stick with plans. Act first think later like she is doing now.

Quirks: She love arguing and bickering whether she is doing it or she is watching others. She has a weird talent of styling and cutting hair, weirdly good at sword fighting and a great public speaker, she has a soft spot for wild magical creatures

Age: 12 

Gender: Female

Appearance: A bob of dark brown hair that glints red in the sun. Dark brown eyes and caramel colored skin. She usually wears several different shades of purple, most often a loose shirt and a long skirt, which she split and sewed, so now it’s more like a jumper, but don’t tell her mama. 

Personality: She is a daydreamer, always with her head in the clouds. She is very empathetic, and feels for others. The disappearance has gotten to her, and she feels really worried about them, especially Alana, who was her cousin (is that okay? If not, she was just a good friend.)

Flaws: She gets distracted easily, loses her temper easily, and also talks a lot.

Personality: He likes to stay out of the limelight and fly under the radar. He’s not at all confrontational, and prefers to stay quiet, especially around large groups of people. He doesn’t often voice his opinions, and he can come off as stoic and serious- in reality, he’s just shy. He keeps to himself a lot, and he likes the quiet and comfort of the woods.

Azi's last name was later changed from Kumar to Kamara.
