I'll start:

NAME: Charlie W.

SPECIES: Human (Homo sapiens)

JOB/TITLE: Sprocketville, Southwest Kyngdom

APPEARANCE: Tall for his age (13), average build, curly dark brown hair always needs a haircut (except right after he gets one)

PERSONALITY: Never the first to speak up, but always the first to notice something

HOME: His parents' house, which his mom likes to say has the most natural light of any underground bunker in Sprocketville, thanks to its many skylights

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The machinist wing of the Cypher Labs dormitory, where he lives on a hall with the other gear-nerds. Needless to say it's not the cleanest wing in the building.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Dr. Sheepshank was the first adult he felt really took him seriously.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Marcus R., the best machinist at Cypher--and a full year younger than Charlie.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His titanium sprocket wrench set, a 13th birthday gift from Dr. Sheepshank.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Er, did you try hitting it with a hammer?

STRENGTHS: Inventiveness--at age 8, he built a working dishwasher from scratch.

WEAKNESSES: Confidence--he has trouble standing up for himself sometimes.

BACKGROUND: Charlie grew up in Sprocketville, a small bunker town in Southwest Kyngdom. He was lonely there, since there weren't many other kids around--but that gave him plenty of time to tinker with the smashed-up machines that lined all the roads in town. After he built an entirely new set of household appliances from scratch, word spread across Kyngdom. Eventually, Dr. Sheepshank recruited him to be part of the Cypher Labs team. His parents were sad to see him go, but he didn't think twice: this was his big break.

Anethia:

If possible, could you add this little bit of info to your character idea, so she fits into the story? Of the natural-born Homo Avians, there was a queen (Cantilena Power), the mother of my friend Aviance. There were also many other Homo Avians who weren't children, who helped fight against SOCS and Catastrophe. However, they were all taken by either SOCS or Catastrophe five years ago, and haven't been seen since. Perhaps one or more of your grandparents or other relatives could have been one of the ones taken? I have a few names already- Jupiter (male), Becca (female), Vuelo (any gender), Coulisse (probably female, but it doesn't matter), and Penna (same). You could also name them whatever you want (if you're wondering about these names, they all have something to do with birds in a romance language; wait, is Spanish a romance language?).

If you don't want to do this, I totally understand... it would just be really helpful and not confusing, as well as help your character fit into the story so far. Maybe right after you were born, your parents and grandparents branded those rings into your shoulders, and not long afterward, your grandparents were taken but your parents managed to escape.

Welcome to the Homo Avian club!

Yes, Spanish is a Romance language.

One of my mother's sisters was taken by SOCS. Since my family regretted not influencing her enough to stay, they put their love into me forever by branding the rings on my shoulders, thinking that perhaps it would be a reminder as to how much they loved me.

And it's totally fine to ask.

Well I'm not sure if she needs to pick and choose one. She's a Pur and natural born. I don't think there were names to begin with.

Hello!

Hi, I'm new here, I tried to join once before, but the story had started, and I was VERY new to the CB in general at that time.  Now that I have been here for some time, I think it's finally time to introduce myself to KYNGDOM.

NAME: Lucy B.

SPECIES: Half human, One-quarter elf, One-quarter fairy

JOB/TITLE: wanderer, free spirit

APPEARANCE: Rainbow-colored hair in a pixie cut with both sides and back shaved, whatever's on top is about 2 inches long, green eyes, pointed ears, small nose, about 4'10" (age 12), always wears a worn leather shoulder bag containing a pencil bag, a bunch of art pens, and like, three sketch books.

PERSONALITY: Kind, creative, silly, gullible, not physically strong, a bit of an art historian, reckless, wild, brave, stubborn, absent-minded, tends not to care too much.

HOME: The city of Janga

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Nowhere!  She's always traveling, and never stays anywhere for long.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: any good artist (example: Tim Cantor)

ENEMY OR RIVAL: art haters

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: any and all of her art pieces

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: I'm done, can I go now?

STRENGTHS: drawing, creative writing, travelling (she knows the whole KYNGDOM map by heart)

WEAKNESSES: running, anything that involves real physical strength, riddles

BACKGROUND: She left Janga at age 11, looking for something to help improve her artistic skills.  She usually travels in forests, drawing animals and people she sees.  Through this, she had created a very interesting style that is different from any other person in KYNGDOM.  One morning, she was taking a sketchbook out of her bag when she noticed the letter from BIG.  Her real story starts when she can't decide whether to use her creative abilities for BIG or against it.

I don't we'll be focusing on BIG anytime soon. I mean it has been a while now since I heard any activity from them. but I don't know. It is what started this story.

They're still around, I think, just not nearly as central as they used to be.
