Can I reserve two character spots?  This seems really interesting!

Juuuust one more character. I was thinking about this Solo-write and I came up with the a great for it...

Name: Kaz Tataryn-Honchar

Age: 21

Male or Female: AMAB, nonbinary they/them, but if the Glorious Nation of Zdroiska doesn't allow transgender-ness, then they will not be out and let others use he/him pronouns for them.

Personality: Pretends to be the perfect ambitious Zdrioskan citizen, eager to climb the ranks of the government and spend their life doing their best to glorify Zdrioska, a hard worker. But on the inside they are an active member of the rebellion (if there is a rebellion, that is. If not, their doing their best to start one) and they're firey and motivated, a leader and not a follower, wants to change the world for the better, still a hard worker just working against Zdrioska and not for it.

Voice: A deep base, perfect for singing work songs while doing manual labor, but only the ones that glorify Zdrioska... or for singing illegal songs about rebellion and freedom...

Physical Appearance: Tall, muscular, light brown skin and floofy, curly hair with an undershave with intricate designs shaved into it (if you look really closely and you know what to look for, you can find the word "Glory to Zdrioska!" carefully hidden among the lines. If you look even closer, you can find the words "No more" above "Glory to Zdrioska!" and the words "It has enough already!" below it, so together it spells "No more Glory to Zdrioska! It has enough already!" Which is, of course, a highly illegal statement). A little stubble along the jaw because they don't shave often enough. Deep amber-brown eyes, a handful of scars (including one over the left eye and one along the jaw) from heavy labor and various work-related accidents. A complicated runic tattoo on their left arm from shoulder to fingertips, which may or may not also carry some rebellious statements disguised as loyal ones, just like their hair.

Family: Had a father and mother, two younger siblings and an older sister. Was sent off to work and earn money at age 16 and spent a while mass-producing simple ceramics, spending all day hunched over a pottery wheel. A year later, they were moved to a heavy-labor workforce, and they learned their younger siblings had died of illness the same year. At age 18, they got a letter that their father, who worked in food delivery, had been setting aside extra portions for his own family and his parents had, ah, mysteriously disappeared as a result. Themself and their sister, were spared from being disappeared for being "hardworking citizens" and "a credit to Zdrioska." They are still in contact with their sister, who is now a devoted general of the Zdrioskan army and doesn't share their interests in revolting.

Strengths: Hardworking, a talented potter thanks to the year spend making ceramics, strong thanks to the multiple years in heavy labor, clever & intellegent.

Weaknesses: Has a habit of getting dirty easily, quick to judge, slow to trust, always a hair away from punching someone in the face (although they've gained pretty good control of their temper over the years).

Dreams: They want to climb the ranks of the Zdroiskan army, just like their sister, only unlike their sister, they don't want to do it to glorify Zdrioska, they want to use the position to help grow the smuggling ring they're a part of and to further undermine Zdrioska. Although the position at the Border Checkpoint is perfect for the smuggling ring... And eventually, once their older and they've served the cause of freedom, they want to escape through the smuggling ring themself and live a quiet life on the other side of the border, although of course they'll continue to help other Zdrioskan refugees from that side.

Pick a Color: The color(s) of the Zdroiskan army uniform, of course. At least, that's what they'll say if you ask them... But they'd much rather pick a bright, rich, vibrant royal blue.

If I Decided to Ship Your Character, Would You Be Okay w/ That?: Totally!

Other: Hehe I can't wait for this to start!

Chaser here! Scuttles' comment hasn't loaded yet, so until then I'll design a different charrie!

Name: Cadet 6347, formerly Ivan Skliar

Age: 16-17 (I noticed we had no minors yet and figured we needed at least one teen)

Male or Female: Male he/him

Personality: Friendly and cheery, outgoing, mischevious, witty, hardworking, eager to serve Zdrioska.

Voice: When speaking, his voice sounds kinda low, like maybe a baritone, but when he sings it comes out as a surprising countertenor. He likes to sing complicated, beautiful songs about ancient battles and whatnot (but only the ones that Zdrioska won, because those are the only songs he's allowed to learn).

Physical Appearance: Medium brown skin, watery brown eyes, straight brown hair (shortish on the sides and spiky on the top), short but stout.

Family: He's been away from his family since he was 14, when he was selected to join the Glorious Zdrioskan Air Force, where he is now in training as a cadet. He had 7 younger siblings when he left but he hasn't heard from them since and most of them are probably dead by now. He loved his family and misses them but knows he'll probably never see them again. He still keeps a grubby photograph of his family by his bunk.

Strengths: Hardworking, friendly, gets along well with peers and superiors, intellegent.

Weaknesses: Too smart for his own good, likes to pull pranks which sometimes gets him into trouble (although he can talk his way out of it just as quickly as he can get into it).

Dreams: Once he's done serving his time at the Border Checkpoint, he's to return to training, where he plans to graduate cadet school and hopes to be able to become a cadet instructor instead of fighting.

Pick a Color: Bright yellow.

If I Decided to Ship Your Character, Would You Be Okay w/ That?: Absolutely totally yes you should do that! Although there's no other characters his age yet...

Other: He's been instructed to continue his training after working hours at the army base near the checkpoing. He's genuinely a good person, and while he'd love to serve in the air force and glorify Zdrioska he doesn't want to fight, so that's why he wants to be a cadet instructor. He could also possibly be convinced to desert and escape Zdrioska.
