Seconding Squid's point, your profiles are super impressive!

@squiddicus language

IF you have some time I'd love you to check my bestest of boys (and by that I mean "fucked up edgy shit" and "fucked up gamer shit" respectively), I have A LOT more characters that I have to make profiles for so maybe I'll come back with more children for you to check out :]

Also uhm, both of the profiles might be slightly obsolete, but I think I didn't change much in either of them. Also, if you've read Henka's or Simon's profiles before, you can skip this lmao. I truly don't remember if I've ever sent anything in this thread????? Oh well, I'm making Dmitri's profile and I'll send once it's done.

Also, you don't have to read anything if you don't feel like it, I wouldn't blame you, don't force yourself, hun! Also, stay safe!

i DO have some time…should I be doing chemistry work rn?? maybe…but I'd rather procrastinate on notebook and check out people's cool characters so you know. the chemistry can wait.

I don't think I've looked at these dudes before?? oh well if I have I guess I'll just be looking at them again haha

okay first up henka!! ohoho another chaotic bisexual, better hand out them bonus points.

and I'm a biology student so I gotta appreciate his anatomy knowledge, especially how he applies it to healing… but also harming haha.

his backstory….aaaa no it's too sad :(( (amazed at the amount of time you put into it though kudos to you friend)

also holy shit your art is GORGEOUS!!! wowowowow can I steal your skills

right now we got simon. his full name is silicon?? cool as hell (my little nerd brain is loving all the sciencey stuff!)

WAIT OH MY GOD ARE THERE CHARACTERS FOR ALL THE ELEMENTS?? holy crap I NEED to read this immediately

ohhhh my god I'm obsessed with the amount of thought and detail that's gone into his abilities and personality based on his element!! like the coding and control of electricity is so so cool and I love how it all links back to silicon! also you've got to stop making me sad with these backstories aaaaaa

thanks so much for sending these, I had a blast reading them!! I love simon especially and the amount of work you've put into these is truly impressive!

@squiddicus language

here are my boyos

ohhh I love a pacifist character! I mean her whole personality section is just wow (you must have spent a while on that haha) and she seems like a really well-fleshed out character. I especially love her bluntness and honesty, and the way her personality changes through the course of the story is really compelling - how the Void damaged her pysche was very interesting to read about…does she ever heal from that experience??

cool abilities too by the way. magnetism is epic and it's cool when it's utilised into a superpower!

this whole doll concept is freaky as hell but it's so cool
the way he's so scared of becoming a desensitized monster and refuses to consume human souls???? and that he hides his kindness and still tries to save everyone? aaaa I love it. he must be so lonely but also so strong oh my god

I love his relationship with rin,,, it's so sweet and he deserves it honestly
wow his backstory jeez…he sure been through a lot to say the least! but seriously this story sounds so compelling and thought out, I would 1000% read this!

@squiddicus language

Woah, congrats to you for starting college!!

why thank you!! it's been a wild ride haha but I'm feeling a bit more stable now

I've been relentlessly thinking about my superhero story for like a year now so I feel like I've gotta throw Joey into the ring

I know the feeling…
'the sole survivor' jeez that sounds ominous and I'm VERY intrigued
I mean this isn't strictly my favourite thing about him but I like that his injuries and their effect on him are actually listed! I swear if I read one more book/watch one more film where the protag gets injured badly and it's never again mentioned after treatment I'll-
wow I love the amount of detail in his personality! his character arc is super compelling to read, the struggle of breaking out of a mould others have put him into…you find yourself rooting for him so much reading that!! and I love that him being trans is like. integrated into the plot and his search for who his is outside of what others see him as,,, it really seamlessly fits and I like that it's important to his character arc (rather than say, being a background fact that's never mentioned again or it just being a simple coming-out story. I love seeing other queer characters in different genres and settings!!)

sorry that was a long ramble I just really liked that aspect haha
on a more superficial level I'm jealous that he can play the saxophone that's such a cool instrument. and I love charmspeak powers!!! I love reading about powers that aren't out and out FIGHTING and BEATING STUFF UP, mind control especially is so interesting to explore
haha we have the same star sign

@squiddicus language

I loved your comments on my characters, I really appreciate it!

no problem!! I'm no good at critiquing characters so I thought I'd make a character appreciation thread instead (because I sure love exclamation marks)

Would you mind looking at my MCs for my other story, Akira(Akira ) and Poppy(Poppy Solace)

i would love to!!
akira: I love that he has such a range of hobbies and talents! it's so cool to see characters who can use sign language - I really wish I could and I definitely want to learn some day haha. I also love characters who can dance because I feel like that's such a cool skill but maybe not used so much outside of stories about dancing?? idk but yeah I love that about him! and he loves birdwatching that's so cool, he seems like such a versatile and multifaceted character - not like a lot of film/book characters who have like ONE hobby and that's their whole personality bahaha

poppy: aaaa I love her surname!! solace is one of my favourite words lmao :)))
love characters with brightly coloured hair, pink hair is such a cool aesthetic honestly,,,, at this point I should just cave and dye mine pink as well. oooo science corps I totally want to know more about that!! as a total science nerd I get unnaturally excited whenever I see like sciencey characters, especially women! what do the science corps do I need to know EVERYTHING

@squiddicus language

Perhaps… Buck? :)

yess here we go
'straight, unlike him.' I'm cackling at this statement because that's a mood. same with my hair and yes I've make the exact same joke probably too many times
I love that he's got the good jokes but he's not the stereotypical jokey character!! just imagining him catching everyone off guard with a witty comment and everyone else being like 'wait what just happened, do I laugh?'
wow I'm in awe of the amount of work you put into the mannerisms section dude! I feel like I know him so well as a character just off reading that…wish I had the motivation but right now I am DROWNING in biology (send help)
aaaa stop I love him so much!! the kindhearted warm person hiding behind his tough-guy shell?? I just want to give him a hug, especially with the internalised homophobia on top of everything :((

Annabeth please? :>

ohhh man there are so many cool little details I love :DDD
her name's so pretty and gentle and it's one of my favourite names ever (this has NOTHING to do with my percy jackson era I swear-)
her weapons are so cool!! wow I've never heard of a kunai before now but I've just looked them up and they're so pretty and elegant somwhow?? and the kunai of time that lets her time travel sounds boss. I want one.
I don't know what a knight of zanielle is but they sound super cool and I'm really intrigued to know more about annabeth's story! I love her design and outfit, and all the little facts you put in there - she seems really cool and I would 100% read whatever story she's part of

@squiddicus language

hello sorry this took so long!!
his TATTOOS AAA they sound so cool!! the phases of the moon running down his arm,,, it's just so pretty and really gives off the whole fantasy mysterious vibes. I love it
and his outfit as well, especially his formal wear!! i love how pretty and fancy it sounds and it's making me want to get my pencils out and draw it haha. I love the idea of the constellations embroidered onto it, it sounds so delicate and super pretty (I want one)
woahhh he can see in the dark?? bit jealous ngl that would be very cool indeed

@squiddicus language

Can you do Blade?
*Has technical difficulties *

hello friend sorry for the massive wait! things do be busy in college right now sadly
i mean without even getting into the actual profile…blade is an epic name and aleady gives extremely badass and cool vibes. and i have to appreciate the similarity to my character blaze haha
ooo silver eyes…shiny!! love her designs, she sounds like she'd be fun to draw
'rolls her eyes way more than necessary',, I LOVE a snarky character who is so done with everything and blade certainly gives that feeling! plus the fact that assassinations is one of her talents. i'm just imaging her putting that on her CV hehe
all in all blade seems like a really awesome character and i would 100% read her story because i feel like she'd be a very entertaining protagonist! <3
