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.

Here’s my new charrie, to be RPed in the Catastrophe RP on the ‘Tale: Two Kingdoms...’ thread.

NAME: Caolán (KEEL-in) Torkh

SPECIES: Homo Felis 

JOB/TITLE: Professional Troublemaker

APPEARANCE: Slender build, long-limbed, tall for his age (16). Unusually soft silver hair, darker at the roots and lighter at the ends, cut slightly shorter on the sides and a little longer/spikier on the top. Strange golden catlike eyes. His nose is sort of flattened and triangular at the end, resembling a cat’s, and he has a slight cleft in his upper lip, also like a cat’s. He has small, pointed fang-like teeth and retractable claws in place of fingernails. His ears are catlike, slightly pointed and triangular and thinner than human ears. The hair on his arms and legs is slightly thicker than it would be on a normal human, and if you look closely enough, you can see that it has a very subtle dappled pattern. Along his back he has a thicker patch of fur that runs down the line of his spine, but it’s only visible when he takes off his shirt. The soles of his feet are callused and toughened, similar to the pads on a cat’s paws. His skin is pale and a bit mottled. Despite his strange appearance, he is still fairly handsome in a strange, startling way.

PERSONALITY: Very catlike. He is fiercely independent and despises confinement; he’s very claustrophobic. He does not like to be touched or manhandled without his permission. He loves elegance and cares perhaps too much about his looks. He’s quite vain. He takes hardly anything seriously; everything’s a game to him. He’s cocky, witty, and reckless, thinks that rules do not apply to him, and causes trouble simply for the fun of it. He doesn’t like stiff, formal people, but adores annoying them. He hides his emotions from others, but they still control him, and he has a lot of emotional turmoil that does not show on the surface. He does not think as highly of himself as he would have you believe; he thinks that he’s not a good person, and it bothers him even though he pretends it doesn’t. He’s curious to a fault, and the more he is told not to do something, the more he wants to do it.

HOME: He doesn’t have a home anymore.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: He wanders. Lately he’s been hanging around Jökull.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: He doesn’t need any friends, or at least that’s what he believes.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: SOCS, while they were still around (I actually don’t know that much about SOCS. They got destroyed or something, right?). Now, anyone who shuns him because of what he is.

STRENGTHS: His feline DNA gives him many catlike abilities. He’s very flexible and agile, fairly swift, has good balance, and can be very quiet when he wants to be. This makes him very good at sneaking around. He also has the ability to see well in the dark, has a heightened sense of smell and hearing, and can withstand colder temperatures than an average human. He purrs when he’s happy, though I suppose this isn’t really a strength, I just don’t know where else to put it. 

WEAKNESSES: Though limber and agile, he is not very strong, and in a test of strengths he would likely lose. He lets his emotions control him more than he controls them. His independence and mischievous qualities make him hard to get along with for a lot of people, so he doesn’t have many friends. He’s curious to a fault, and will pursue his curiosity endlessly, which can often get him into danger (curiosity killed the cat, after all).

BACKGROUND: Several years ago, SOCS conducted a mass experiment with the goal of creating a small army of humans with feline abilities and traits, which they called Homo Felis. They took eleven-year-old Caolán from his home in Northern Kyngdom, along with a bunch of other young children, and tweaked their DNA, combining it with that of various types of cats. They also performed surgeries on the subjects to give them the abilities that the DNA alone would not. They combined Caolán’s DNA with the DNA of a snow lynx (the reason he can withstand cold temperatures and prefers cold weather) and a few other felines, not all of which he knows of. He underwent several surgeries, which gave him his retractable claws, flexibility, and altered eyesight, among other things. The subjects went through many different experiments and tests over a few years, many of which resulted in unwanted side affects, and ultimately the Homo Felis project was a failure. The subjects, many of whom found unexpected new powers after the experimentation, escaped SOCS and scattered for the most part. There weren’t many of them to begin with, and they are fairly rare, but others are out there.

As for Caolán, now thirteen, he fled. With no place to go, he wandered, town to town, picking up a job where he could. Making trouble where he could. He grew accustomed to being shunned, being called a monster and a freak.

He has been hanging around Jökull lately. He still doesn’t know who’s side he’s on, it will depend on who can win him over first (and that will most likely be whoever makes him feel accepted for what he is, because that’s what he truly wants deep down, even though he doesn’t fully realize it).

Notes: He might have minor snow/ice powers that he discovers later on, we’ll see. Also, I’d love to ship him.

Ahhhhh he should totally be shipped with Tsuki!! Tsuki is a SOCS experiment too, but she is.part sea serpent. I said Tsuki was thirteen, but I want her to be 14 or 15 like most of my other charries. But I think they would totally be great for each other!

YES YES YES I SHIP IT also Ashzan is about 5 years older than Tsuki. XP

YES we should totally ship them! I was actually thinking that, but I thought Tsuki would be too young for him. But if you changed her age to fifteen or so I’d love to!

NAME: Star
SPECIES: Black wolf with shapeshifting abilities
JOB/TITLE: None yet
APPEARANCE: In human form I have short black hair, bright blue eyes, and a burn scar on my left arm. I carry a pair of swords. In wolf form, I'm a large, sleek black wolf with bright blue eyes and a burn scar on my left side. 
PERSONALITY: I'm very smart and witty, and have good battle strategy most of the time. I'm a little impulsive, though, and tend to lose my temper and become reckless when I notice injustice. 
HOME: I'm a wanderer.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Nowhere in particular, but me and my sister are trying to find out the current location of the Red Paw.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: My older sister Moon 
ENEMY OR RIVAL: Anyone who threatens me or my sister
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: My swords
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: My sister's advice, "never stop fighting"
STRENGTHS: I'm very strong and a good fighter, and I can shapeshift between my wolf and human form, as I mentioned before.
WEAKNESSES: I have a temper and I'm a little impulsive.
BACKGROUND: I'll write this after breakfast XD

Here's my sister's sheet:  

NAME: Moon

SPECIES: Wolf, with shapeshifting powers

JOB/TITLE: None yet, though she fancies herself as my "protector".

APPEARANCE: In wolf form, she's a white wolf with bright blue  eyes and a burn scar on her right side. In human form, she's a girl with bright blue eyes, shoulder-length white hair in a ponytail, and a burn scar on her right arm. 

PERSONALITY: She's quiet and cautious, and likes to have a plan for everything. She's very strong in a fight, but she likes to avoid fights when possible. She's also very kind, and the best sister you could hope for. 

HOME: She's a wanderer, like me.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Nowhere in particular, we're searching for the current location of the Red Paw.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: She was taught pretty much everything by the elders of our pack, and she taught me everything they taught her.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Anyone who threatens me.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: I'm not sure. In human form, she has no weapons, since she prefers to fight hand-to-hand.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "Never stop fighting."

STRENGTHS: She's kind, strong and cautious.

WEAKNESSES: She'll do anything to protect me, so I'm her weakness, I suppose. I'm sure she has other weaknesses, but she doesn't tend to show them.

BACKGROUND: (Her background is the same as mine, so I won't bother writing mine.) When we were very young, a great storm destroyed our pack's current camp, and the den that my sister and I were in with our mother and siblings was struck by lightning. Our siblings were either killed or missing after the lightning struck, and our mother was nowhere to be found. The elders believe the lightning was the source of our shapeshifting powers.

Welcome to Kyngdom, Silverstar! Your characters are super cool, by the way. I'm Sybill. I play a total of eight charries (Which I think is the most anybody on Kyngdom has. XD I have some ideas for even more! What's wrong with having so many characters you don't even have enough time to roleplay them all, am I right?) But, anyways, feel free to join one of the threads! I probably have a charrie or two on most of them XD.

submitted by Sybill, age ????, Kyngdom
(January 23, 2019 - 5:18 pm)

Actually, I have a grand total of ten charries. At least. There are probably more that have slipped my mind. Yeah, I was a little charrie-insane when I first joined. I was also unfortunately pretty bad at charrie-development so they were all pretty flat. :/ I don’t think I’ve ever confessed to playing them all, though, so you probably won’t be able to guess all of them. ;)

(January 24, 2019 - 4:36 pm)

Wow, 10 is alot. Here, lemme try to guess some of them.

-Moonshadow (obviously)

-Lunee

-Anwen

-Scarlet Crimsonwing

I can't come up with any more XD

(January 24, 2019 - 4:55 pm)

Forgot to mention Caolán.

Also, I have two more ideas for charries. How do an old Resistance soldier who's been kept captive for many months and a girl created to be a weapon sound?
