Shard-verse Art

Just a sketch of Charles being a cutie. I redesigned nem to be a bit more obviously mixed-race in black & white (neir coloring hasn’t changed).
You can’t see it, obviously, but I also made nem chubbier and less body-builder-esque. Specifically to appeal to a friend of mine. (Also, Shard-verse needs more fat-rep. Right now it has, like, Sevvy. Who is awesome, but not in the main stories. And apparently I never posted the picture here.)
So here’s the picture of Sevvy with Anita:
Contessa Seffora de Sant’Anna & Anita Trevino. Sevvy is the awesome woman in front. Anita is Ostanes/Iosis’ mom. Sevvy is basically everyone’s teacher (she’s, if not immortal, really long-lived). (Neither of them show up in the chapters posted, but I think Anita is mentioned).

Dec. 24th, 2018 12:46 amCharles is a soft autumn. Andre is a cool winter.
Andre likes bright Hawaiian or bold patterned shirts. Think comfort. Goes for t-shirts for casual around the house wear.
Charles likes patterned shirts and stripes, but more subdued colors unless it's super cute and femme. Loves florals. Goes for plaid flannel for comfort.
When working, they wear dark suits with shirts and ties that match Wild Rush.
Charles likes suspenders. Andre prefers belts.
Not great art, but important info
Zoom in! (I did fun things with the hatching, cuz MangaStudio gives options)

Character Writing Finale!
Nov. 1st, 2016 10:52 amLet’s see if I can’t finish off these character building questions that I’ve been working on too long! What does your character’s bed look like when he/she wakes up? Are the covers off on one side of the bed, are they all curled around a pillow, sprawled everywhere? In what position might they sleep? (TW: child … Continue reading “”

Aug. 16th, 2016 04:41 pmWhat is your character’s preferred means of travel? Andre prefers to drive himself. He gets panic attacks on public transit, in taxis, and in cars with bad or unpredictable drivers (like Wild Rush) Charles prefers to ride shotgun or go by train / subway. Daisy loves trains and finds the noise and motion very relaxing. […]

Aug. 15th, 2016 11:22 amIs your character a good cook? What’s their favorite recipe, whether they’re good or not? (Microwave mac-and-cheese applies.) Wild Rush – no, not really at all. He doesn’t have the patience for it. There a few cocktails he likes to make. He can also do slow cooker stuff. Daisy manages. She’s good at casseroles and […]

How does your character react to temperature changes such as extreme heat and cold? (Hey, I’ve got a writing snippet that talks about this a bit!) Wild Rush doesn’t really notice it. If it’s super hot or cold he might change what he’s wearing a bit, but not much. Daisy feels them and either snuggles … Continue reading “”

Jul. 12th, 2016 07:52 amI really need to finish these off. Let’s see what I can do… How is your character with technology? Super savvy, or way behind the times? Letters or email? Delia – pretty darn good, since she works at a technology company. Not as good as Mick (Future-Tech’s resident genius) or her son, but she gets […]

Yeah, I had a couple of these done and never posted them. Both of these are for the second one, holding hands. There’s non-explicit nudity in the second one, btw.

10) Can you define a turning point (or more than one) in your character’s life?
(TW: character death,
Delia – when she met Mick Adler (leading to the creation of Future-Tech), when her husband died (the final straw to becoming the White Knight)
Wild Rush – when he got the only birthday present he ever got from his parents (fourth grade, a book of magic tricks and a deck of cards), when during a break-in he got sprayed with chemicals (leading to the grey skin and ending the headaches he got from his powers), when he met Daisy.
Daisy – when her mom died (leading to her dad abusing to her), when she met Wild Rush (leading to her powers expressing themselves and her being happy).
Andre – moving out on his own (he was a spoiled kid and having to take care of himself was a huge shock), joining a gang as a kid (his family is rather straight-laced, but Andre was a rebel and stubborn).
Charles – getting into a fight in junior high (he was a big kid, but quiet. Got noticed by some people that ended up leading him into crime)
… trying to think of a character with some non-obvious ones…
Sergeant Kella Aurita – getting arrested for shoplifting as a kid (got chewed out by parents to no end, including a trip to tour the police station. Got talked to by an understanding officer who ended up mentoring her a little bit and is why she joined the police academy)
Character Writing #9
Apr. 22nd, 2015 03:00 pm#23 Is your character superstitious? Wild Rush – he has a vague sense of things being lucky or unlucky or a bad idea, but nothing set in stone. He’d say it’s just hunches.

#23 Is your character superstitious?
Wild Rush – he has a vague sense of things being lucky or unlucky or a bad idea, but nothing set in stone. He’d say it’s just hunches.
Daisy – not at all, but she can get hunches too
Andre – a little bit, just standard stuff like not walking under ladders, avoiding 13s.
Charles – he’d say he’s not, but he’s got a bunch of folk beliefs
Delia – more spiritual than religious. Believes in spirits in all living things, so we need to be respectful, especially old things
Silver Dollar – ooooohhhh, yeah. Exceedingly, about tons of things.

#31. Is your character right-, left-handed, or ambidextrous? More complicated than that? Wild Rush – left-handed. Can shoot and throw with either hand. Daisy – right-handed, unless she’s been around Wild Rush for a long time (I’m really trying not to spoil stuff about her but it’s haaaaarrrd…) Delia – primarily right-handed, but good with […]

#31. Is your character right-, left-handed, or ambidextrous? More complicated than that?
- Wild Rush – left-handed. Can shoot and throw with either hand.
- Daisy – right-handed, unless she’s been around Wild Rush for a long time (I’m really trying not to spoil stuff about her but it’s haaaaarrrd…)
- Delia – primarily right-handed, but good with either for sports / fighting stuff.
- Joel – taught himself to be ambidextrous, but better with his right
- Charles – right-handed
- Andre – right-handed, somewhat ambidextrous. Can shoot with either hand.
- Techrat – ambidextrous, a little better with his right
- Gimmick – left-handed
#9 Who do they trust?
- Wild Rush – not very many people and he’s fast to distrust. He trusts Daisy unconditionally and pretty much trusts Charles and Andre.
- Daisy – Wild Rush, Charles, Andre. She’s pretty quick to trust, even though she should know better.
- Delia – Depends on the situation. Joel, of course. Her business partners and friends, if it’s not superhero stuff. The police chief, Donna Cooper.
- Joel – his mom, most people
- Charles – Andre & Daisy, not a whole lot of other people.
- Andre – Charles & Daisy, not a whole lot of other people.
- Donna Cooper – she only trusts people so far, because she’s been burned so many times. It take a lot to earn her trust and not a lot to lose it.

Character Writing #7 (or so)

I misnumbered one last time and had a mini, but we’ll call it seven.
Yeah, been a while since I did this. I’m trying to do Camp Nanowrimo and don’t really feel like working on the story I was trying to do, so I’m doing this instead. And counting it.
It occurred to me a few days ago that Wild Rush’s grey skin could be related to argyria (tw for medical stuff and eyes in that link). He got splashed with some sort of chemical in a robbery gone wrong and a patch of skin turned grey and then spread. Now, he stayed grey and turned completely grey because he wanted to, so his powers made it happen. But. I dunno.
I’m currently trying to find out if it would turn his tongue and around his eyes grey too. (The pictures I can find of people with argyria aren’t very clear). It looks like it’s worse where light hits it? So the inside of the mouth probably wouldn’t be affected? (Unless I decide it is…)
But. To the actual character writing.
#29. How does your character smell? Do they wear any perfume / cologne?
Wild Rush – like wool and aftershave
Daisy – I’d imagine she likes flowery scents and would wear perfume. If she hasn’t put any on, she smells like jasmine or something from her shampoo.
Delia – when she’s superheroing, like leather and metal. Otherwise, probably likes spicy scents.
Joel – he burns incense a lot, so he smells like that
Leonard Burton – cotton, leather, and motorcycles. Just good man smells.
Charles – he wears perfume, something spicy and flowery.
Andre – he wears a subtle cologne, something with a vanilla undertone
Techrat – like cotton. Doesn’t wear anything. Often sweaty and metallic smelling from working too long with electronics.
Gimmick – if he’s working, like metal and sulfur and other electronic smells. If he’s showing off, like nice cologne.
Swordcat – like a cat. Kinda a dusty musk.
Mask – not good. Wool, with b.o. He doesn’t sweat and hardly has a sense of smell. He does his best, but it’s an uphill battle.

TW: abuse, assault, threats, threatening with knife, blood, victim blaming (I’ve decided Charles’ pronouns are ne / nem / neir / neirself) Wild Rush had the habit of threatening / yelling at / blaming / etc Charles and Andre before Daisy came along. They’d been expecting it. The boss was predictable about a few things […]
