I’m sorry was no one going to mention that these two are friends!?! I mean Lena Luthor and Margaery Tyrell would make a bad ass team!

Tried a couple of new things and Lyrell was sick of his curls so there ya go. THE NEW AND IMPROVED LYRELL. Now with 10% more sass~

What is Lyrell's impression of Shadow and why does he want to be friends?

Leaning back in the leather seat, legs crossed, stretched out, arms behind his head he’d quirk an eyebrow “What an interesting question,” was mused, a sly smile curling the corners of his lips. The slight flare of red from his cigarette as he breathed in, smoke slowly curlingout of his nostrils like dragon’s breath “I suppose my shot was laced withsome kind of truth serum? Reason being I actually feel compelled to answer. Well, can’t be helped. Shadow, shadow,strange. Seems to like getting a rise out of people, totally addicted to thereactions people give to his words and actions,” another intake ofnicotine “Funny, in his own way. Nice eyes.”

He seemed at ease answering the question, head slowlycanting to the side at the next section “Why do I want him to be myfriend?” right hand reaches up for his cigarette, plucking it from hismouth and giving a practiced flick, the ash on the end dropping to the floorbefore it was put back in its rightful place, another puff given. “He’sinteresting, doesn't ‘tick’ the way normal folks do. Makes him unpredictable,but he seems to care about his friends, or the one I’ve seen so far. Could beinteresting,” the male seemed to be repeating himself, seeing if the samestuff would make the serum wear down any faster, not so much.

With a sigh he’d look back towards the scanbot recording,reaching up to flick at the lense “I seem to have a strange attraction tothose deemed ‘abnormal’ by societies standards, I want to see the differentnuances and reactions he gets, see what makes him tick. And I’m sure he’s agreat cuddler,” teeth bared in a wide grin at that, right hand swiftlymoved to his hip, gun pulled out and fired, the scanbot’s screen glitching out,attempting to focus as it fell to the floor.

Boots could be seen, the scanbot gently kicked, a cigarettefalling to the floor and ground beneath a heel. “Wel-zzt! Th-AaaTzzt was ani-shht little chhhhhaaaaaahhht!” the audio fizzles, boots traipsing awayfrom the piece of machinery as the screen glitches a few more times beforegoing black.

Each of your aurin have such unique designs that set them apart from other characters. How did you come up with your concepts for each of them? How long did it take (or how long has it taken) for you to come up with them and get to know them?

Hoboy. This proooobably won’t make alot of sense. BUT I WILL TRY.

Zandris.

Zandris was my first character and the only character I kept from Beta. As such he didn’t originallyhave a personality as I haven’t roleplayed in an mmo all that much before(SHOCK HORROR). Once I stumbled upon the rp community however, his personalityslowly leaked out. There was no conscious thought or decision behind hisdesign, it was more like “He has the long hair on his character model. Heshould have long hair..” bewm suddenly he has long hair. “He doesn’tlike people touching his hair, how would they get it cut?” bewm suddenly it’seven longer. Zandris ended up being alot of trial and error and only really hasa few different things that separate him from the general populace of wildstar.I am still getting to know him quite a bit, as the little bugger is rathersneaky! >8C

Kirrill.

Kirrill was alittledifferent in that I was already rping a character that was happy, go lucky andtouchy. So I wanted to flip it. Completely and utterly. I wanted a characterthat was angry, that was sullen, and that hated being touched. I knew it wouldbe a challenge for me to rp, as I’m more Zandris minded than Kirrill minded. Iwanted him to a have a reason, a big reason as to why no one was allowed totouch him and why he was just generally angry with everything and everyone. Cueme reading about laboratory testing on animals by chance the next day. Bewm.Backstory out the wazzoo.

His design came aboutwith me wanting to use one of the coloured skins for the aurin, and at onepoint he was actually going to be green! But nope, he ended up being blue. Hishair came next and flicking through the hairstyles I found the hairstyle I nowuse for the majority of the character models for aurin. Next came the colour,the darker tones left him looking washed out or weird, so he got white. Whilethis looked rather nice, I needed something that’d make him ‘pop’, and he endedup having those pretty orange eyeballs @w@. With him being so many coolcolours, my immediate thought was snow, which then shifted from snow to snowleopard. It is only recently that I have considered making him more akin to aPallas cat or an Andean Mountain Cat.

Zuberi.

Zuberi’s conceptdesign was not as well thought out as one might think. I adore cheetahs, alwayshave, however the secretary bird part of his makeup was me actually reading anarticle on the strange way some animals hunt…or something along those lines. Zuberihas been the most giving in terms of sharing his back story and how his tribeworked and has a rather mellow, calm personality. His shoulder/arm tattoo is amayan tattoo I have tried to incorporate into a character before, however thatcharacter never really made it off the ground. The rest of his tattoos arerather simple tribal marks. His height was rather..premeditated, as cheetahshave long legs for running, while the secretary bird has really long legs inproportion to the rest of it.

Venyar.

Can you say cheshirecat? I wanted a character that was flirty, fun and heavily into the vices.Drinking, smoking and drugs. Everything else just kinda…evolved from there.Alot of Ven’s concepts have been snap decisions. Just… a thought would pop upwhile playing him and BEWM it’s now canon. He was the least thought out yet herolled with it. I’m still getting to know his eccentricities, yet the more Ifind the happier I am about him.

Jakaran.

Was originally made tojust be in the Fen Warders, as Zandris does not like water so would not belegible. As such, the only thing I knew about him was that I wanted dreadlocks,as when I’d drawn Toadie for @aurinofthewild I had enjoyed doing them. He’staken awhile to get a feel for and get to know and he’s still a major work inprogress as it were.

Lyrell.

Was funnily enough,originally made to just level with some friends. He didn’t have a backstory, oranything other than he thought arwick was a dick and that he was genderfluid.It’s only been the last few days that he decided to invade my thoughts and waslike “I want this this and this OH AND THIS”. So I’ve been the onerolling with things xD

You will notice, thatI try and give each character a different earstyle on their ingame models, itseems to help alot with their character personality and concept and I don’tunderstand why.

I used to createcharacter designs for the fun of it, most didn’t have backstories or anything,just the conceptual design, so I guess that’s why I have so many that are sodifferent? I just roll with it  moreoften than not x3

I also try and maketheir personalities very different, as it helps me keep them separate in mymind and challenges me each time I roleplay them. HOOOOPEFULLY this answersyour question ^w^;

★★★★★ - Five for each! (or each you decide to answer for :P)

I love you but goddammit.

* Zandris can and will steal from people. He’s grown up around thieves and orphans on the streets, and has gotten very good at palming things from other people’s pockets and bags.

* Zandris’ eyes  arehighly reflective at night time, giving off that creepy cat glow.

* Zandris usually hastrouble with people’s names, as such he will shorten them or pick and choosecertain vowels to use. Aka Rhilyn is Mama Reeree, Valkurius was simply Valk,and Damande became Day.

* Zandris has been known touse rather smart words and phrases for someone his age, yet only when he talksabout being a prince and overseeing his ‘kingdom’.

*Zandris was originallynineteen and a punk, yet the first time I roleplayed him he kicked his feet andsuddenly he was eleven and adorable as fuck. I still don’t understand how thishappened.

*Venyar when he’s feelingindulgent will make himself up a salt bath and soak for hours.

*Venyar does not have avery strong offensive capability when it comes to espernetics, even his abilityto defend is rather mediocre. What he excels in is his empathetic ability,something he is extremely bitter about and goes out of his way to get rid ofand not feel.

*Venyar surprisingly israther lithe. The male has alot of lean muscle and very little body fat, thanksto hours of constant work building and constructing.

*Venyar has a second set ofeyelids, used when under the water, as such, he can see under the water as wellas he can above it, if not better.

*The feedback and utterassault on his mind from the ravaging of Arboria has left him ratherunpredictable on how he will react to certain stimuli. As such, he does hisbest to control a situation, making sure it’s what he wants or is an equalpartnership between him and the other person or persons.

*Zuberi shuffles his feet alot.This is odd for most to see, as he will even lift a foot a certain level beforedropping it back down without taking a step. His people used it in conjunctionto the noises they made in order to show words and how they were feeling.

*When it comes to bodylanguage, Zuberi is an expert. Even the slightest twitch from another persontells him several different things about them to him.

*Zuberi’s eyes not onlyreflect light, but have a slight glow to them in the dark.

*Zuberi’s headfeathers areattached and do not moult. Pulling on them is akin to someone pullingfingernails out with pliers. The feathers on his tail however moult and growback rather regularly, and it is not uncommon to see him with a great many onlyto spot him the next day with only a few.

*Zuberi has three visiblescars, the others too fine or minute to really notice. One he received onArboria; a thick, small scar that cuts through his left eyebrow. The other twohave been received while on Nexus; A large bite mark on his right side, at thejoint between neck and shoulder, and the other a thick, long scar just underhis right shoulder blade. The one under his shoulder blade is still rather new,the skin shiny and taut.

*Jakaran believes ratherstrongly in the weave and sees it in alot of things and people, yet he is notvery outspoken about his views.

*Jakaran likes to think hedoesn’t have a favourite ‘sibling’, as he tries to keep it fair, but he adoresJaxii who actually ended up living with him. The lazy bum.

*Jakaran was and still is arather ferocious protector of the swamps. On Arboria he cut off a draken’s armswith his sword and left her for the swamp to swallow her into its embrace.

*Jakaran enjoys grossingout his other swampies and play wrestling with them, he will let themwin….eeeeevery now and again.

*Jakaran’s metabolism isridiculously high, and as such he is constantly looking for something to eat.He has been not so affectionately called “The blackhole with legs” ashe’ll eat anything to stave off the hungry feeling. Five helpings of gumbo? Wasonly five because he got told off for going for more.

*Lyrell joined FCON becausehe thought it would be much like when he was fighting on Arboria, however backthen he was in a small guerrilla force and not in a large company.

*The only reason Lyrell wasdishonourably discharged instead of killed on sight for his fuck up was becauseit was judged to have been an accident instead of an attempt.

*Lyrell’s home is not meantfor anyone but himself, as such it is full of different levelled compartments with netting and ladders to get from room to room. None of this stairs crap.

*Lyrell favours sniperrifles over any other gun, however is partial to old fashioned duelling pistolswhen in…closer quarters.

*Lyrell has worked for boththe dominion and the darkspurs before, both under different nicknames, and withseperate ways for them to contact him should they wish for his services again.The dominion that hire him never get facetime, nor do they actual hear his realvoice, a modulator used to distort it.

*Kirrill learnt a greatmany things from the experiments done to him. Not just how much his body couldhandle, but also his mind. When he feels himself reaching that point he willimmediately retreat from the situation unless he physically cannot, or is tooangry to realise.

*Kirrill employed hisobservation skills very early on in his life, which was how he learnt nexiancommon while on the research ship. Reading and writing though, was something hehad to learn once hitting nexus, doing so with great gusto.

*Kirrill’s reasoning’s forbeing a scientist are complex. On one hand, science, and the pursuit of it, iswhat has made him the way he is, on the other, knowledge is power, and herefuses to ever feel powerless again.

*Kirrill is no longer ableto drink alcohol thanks to his medication, however he will do so from time totime, when the stress of the day calls for it. He’ll regret it the nextmorning, but while inebriated he is at his most relaxed.

*Kirrill’s been told thatsome of his scarring could be fixed with surgery, and has thought heavily onthe matter. He will always say no however, as he refuses to be put under, norsurrounded by medical personnel in that kind of capacity ever again.

★★★★★

Lyrell worked for FCON for awhile, but ended up hating all the rules that went along with working for them. Ended up with a dishonourable discharge and has since then done mainly mercenary work.

Kirrill’s taste in music ranges more towards classical music mixed with trance. A strange mix, but one he finds rather soothing to listen to while he works.

Zandris and Lyrell are my most sweet toothed characters. Zandris enjoys sweet fruits and drinks, but usually balks at things like cupcakes thanks to a few horrible experiences with them (He ate too many too quickly and threw up…more than once.) Lyrell on the other hand likes sweets, mainly boiled sweets and chewing gum. It helps get the taste of cigarette out of his mouth.

 Lyrell currently has two friends. Carma and Rhys. Carma they find odd but strangely endearing, while they’re rather fond of Rhys. They bonded over calling Arwick a dick and then almost dying to a swarm of buzzbings.

Lyrell’s tailring has several layers. The first layer is soft leather followed by slim, malleable metal. Afterwards are interlocking pieces. It allows for a great deal of movement, while still looking nice. The interlocking pieces have lines and strange markings that the aurin etched in, inspired by the eldan and the lines on their faces.

★★★★★

Lyrell is a total gun nut. Whether it’s maintenance, coming up with specs for a new weapon or just plain shooting something, Lyrell is all over it.

Lyrell loves listening to heavy music, mainly KMFDM and others like them.

Lyrell has a fascination with corsets, and will never be seen without one on. It’s never tied too tightly however, he likes the slim waist appeal and how it looks, but he’d rather keep his organs where they are thank you.

Tofranil’s faceplate and the fact that his lungs are coated in vitalus stop him from speaking so he has a voicebox augment. As such it is completely deadpan and has the unfortunate habit of glitching out, causing higher pitched words to spew out at random moments.

Lyrell will take money anyway they can get it, for any kind of job. They have no conscience towards killing children or the elderly. Or blowing things up just for kicks.
