General Information Character Name: Kirane Character Nicknames or Titles: Aliases: “Catalyst” (from her most recent home) Screen Name of Author: Ryadian Character Information Age: Around 25 Gender: Female Species: A humanoid species known as the Krescans Hair/Eye Colors: Dark blue/light pink Weight/Height: 160 lbs/5’ 10” Distinct Markings: Along her skin, blue/purple lines are visible; they look like veins/arteries, except much more pronounced—and, seemingly, on the outside of the skin. (It’s hard to tell if that’s really the case.) Also, her skin is slightly grayer, almost silver (as opposed to brown), compared to human skin tones. For the most part, a good make-up job can make her look human… without close inspection, anyways. Clothes and Other Accessories: Her most notable outfit is her “crime-fighting gear”. The short version: it’s a lavender jacket with gold-colored trim, which reaches down just to her elbows. She’s wearing a light-blue shirt under that, and pants with a similar coloring scheme. Weapons: Usually she just relies on her powers, though she has a couple various gadgets she’s picked up. Also, she has five bracelets she can use in unusual ways with her powers. (If you’re really interested…on her left arm, she wears three bracelets. From elbow to wrist, there’s a black one made of a semi-solid material (both flexible and strong), a gold one masking a reactive substance, and a clear one that can be nearly invisible. On the right, she has two: a silver one, which conducts electricity exceptionally well, and a dark red one which can sharpen almost instantaneously.) Armor: None Residence: She’s hoping to get an apartment at the Ditto Mansion, partially because she’s heard enough about Boo-kay, and because she has decided to stay in Ditto Town the time being. Until then, she’s living at Ryana’s cottage. Occupation: Kirane is a carpenter/sculptor (even without the use of her powers, though she tends to use them for finishing touches) and talented singer. She uses both those talents to collect money on her travels. Mode of Transportation: She either walks or uses a “hoverboard” she received from a “fan” once. Overall Personality: Kirane is fairly laid-back and quiet, but enjoys spending time with people—sort of an introverted extrovert. She’s also both loyal and sympathetic to others, but not so much to ideals; she doesn’t tend to be passionate about anything but important values. Once you get to know her, you will realize that her other personality is, more or less, a guise to hide a more unique, fun-loving personality. Why she hides it from those she doesn’t know well is a mystery to most…possibly even to her. Either way, she is also very passive, preferring to say nothing rather than argue or take offense. Personality Flaws: Kirane can seem rather apathetic, even when she does care. Also, she can be irritatingly indecisive. Surprisingly, at times, she can also be too stubborn—generally, she simply stops discussing the point if someone tries to change her mind. Hobbies: Reading, sculpting/carving. Likes/Dislikes: Likes: Animals, spending time with other people Dislikes: Being cooped up in one place too long, large cities, electricity (she’s very vulnerable to it and similar types of energy) Long-term Goals: Finding a way home Skills: She’s an artist and singer (not the best there is, but fairly good), with some knowledge of basic sciences like chemistry (after all, her powers revolve around things like molecules). Magic Skills: Kirane has the ability to “manipulate matter”. For the most part, this means she can bend/shape things, turn them from a solid to a liquid (or some other similar transition), and, in some cases, changing the molecular structure. She’s convinced it’s a type of magic her people has, but some more technology-minded people (like a good friend of hers) say it’s just a natural trait her race has (like stone sleep in gargoyles, to borrow a familiar example ). Family: Kirane has an older brother, as well as both of her parents. However, she’s been separated from her family for about six years, and isn’t entirely sure if any of the above are still alive. Friends: Kirane has made many friends, allies, and acquaintances on her old world. However, the one that stands out the most is someone named Scott Josephs… a good friend she, for some reason, avoids talking about. Enemies: Kirane has also made many enemies (most of which are enemies of her allies). One in particular is someone named Logan Connell, who seems to hold a personal grudge against her. Pets, Sidekicks, etc: None OR Characters to whom yours is a pet, sidekick, etc.: None Short History: Kirane originally comes from a world (or dimension, or planet… she’s actually not sure which one’s the most accurate) far, far away from any others she’s since visited. However, her people are well-known for technology that lets them travel between worlds. Years ago, her people discovered a place inundated with portals to other worlds—a place known as “Ditto Town.” Kirane volunteered to establish first contact with “Ditto Town.” However, just as she was leaving, a mysterious explosion went off at the facility with the teleporter. She never found out what the cause was. Someone sent her on regardless, and she was teleported… to the wrong world. She ended up in a place which is essentially Earth… with superheroes who have appeared over the last couple of decades (they still even have comic books). Kirane still had part of the device that allowed interworldly travel, but not the power source, so she was stranded there. She decided to become a “superhero” herself named Catalyst. She spent the next six years on Arret, making several friends, allies, and enemies. Most notably are Scott Josephs, a good friend (and the “fan” that invented her hoverboard), and Logan Connell (one of her most notorious foes). And Logan, in an attempt to steal her people’s technology (and later use it against her), inadvertently took her to Ditto Town—and came with her. He disappeared shortly after that. Stories Character has been in (Ditto Mansion roleplay, Fountain roleplay, Ditto Story num-bers): Just appeared in Ditto Story 8 -- General Information Character Name: Logan Connell Character Nicknames or Titles: None in particular Screen Name of Author: Ryadian Character Information Age: Mid-thirties Gender: Male Species: Human, what’s left of him Hair/Eye Colors: Medium brown/emerald green Weight/Height: Average/tall Distinct Markings: Much of his skin has been replaced by his cybernetic parts. Clothes and Other Accessories: Whatever he can get; he’s been wanted for over five years now Weapons: His cybernetic systems act as weapons when he wants them to be; they can produce a blue, electricity-like energy and lasers (the lasers, however, are rarely used, as they cost a lot of energy). They also increase his strength and reflexes. He also uses various gadgets he’s invented (or stolen). Armor: His cyborg parts are very, very tough; his still-human parts, however, are still vulnerable. Residence: Somewhere in Ditto Town's world.... Occupation: Logan used to be a respected scientist, but after he became all-but obsessed with superpowers to the point where he committed crimes to do it. Now he’s an on-the-run criminal. Mode of Transportation: Usually walking, but given his increased stamina, this is actually viable Overall Personality: Logan is very egotistical, passionate, and seemingly frivolous, though he is really just short of a genius. He often pretends to be completely indifferent to the entire world (sometimes is); in reality, he’s cold, sadistic, and bitter. Personality Flaws: See his overall personality…. Hobbies: Other than plotting how to achieve his goals and researching his work? Finding revenge is a common one as well, especially nowadays Likes/Dislikes: Likes: Being in complete control Dislikes: Being out of control, failure Long-term Goals: Once upon a time, he was interested in the source of superpowers in general, for a variety of reasons. Now, he still wants to accomplish that, with one added caveat: he wants to make Kirane’s life as miserable as possible, even if it kills him (since it’s already started doing that). Skills: He’s very strong, highly intelligent, and has half a digital mind now; because of that, he also has faster reflexes and is marginally more intelligent Magic Skills: Not really a “magic skill”, but a special ability: thanks to his botched attempt at teleportation, Logan has the ability to create a sort of “telekinetic pulse”. Basically, everything around him just moves, usually either quickly away or quickly towards him. He has little control over where or what things go, but he can turn it on and off at will. Family: Logan has long-since forgotten about most of his family. His father and two sisters are still alive, but they haven’t had contact since he became a criminal. Friends: He's been on the run and a notorious supervillain for too long; he doesn't really have friends. Enemies: Kirane, Kirane’s family, Kirane’s friends (see a trend?), Ditto Town (since his alliance with the Organization) Pets, Sidekicks, etc: None OR Characters to whom yours is a pet, sidekick, etc.: None Short History: Logan Connell was a respected scientist at a university when superheroes began to populate his planet. He studied superpowers, interested in their source, just like many of his peers. For the most part, scientists wanted to understand those abilities for a few reasons: duplicating it for other humans, if possible, simply to understand it, or possibly even to defend against any super-powered threats. However, as time went on, Logan became more interested in the potential personal gain: either selling his research to the highest bidder, when it was complete, or using the knowledge on himself. Connell eventually gave in to these temptations, and took it too far: he kidnapped a then-local hero named Ardent. However, his timing was very poor. There was a hero who wandered from town to town known as Catalyst… or Kirane. And she just so happened to be around when her good friend was captured. Connell hadn’t counted on her interference, or for her to take down his security single-handedly. She freed Ardent, exposed Connell to the world, and made herself a new enemy. This enmity has only grown worse over time. Catalyst has interfered with his plans on several occasions, while resisting his attempts to study the technology she brought from her world. The final blow came when he finally stole a piece of her technology. He had already long-since made plans to steal a cybernetic frame for himself, and now he wanted to install her technology in it—in part, to give himself teleportation powers, and simply to make himself powerful. Kirane came to reclaim her technology (and catch him for the police), but it was too late—he’d already started the process, and it wasn’t going well. Kirane did her best to reverse the process; in the end, she mostly recovered her technology, and Logan was discovering that being a cyborg had some disadvantages. In part because the cybernetics were part of a prototype, and also because of his interference, it wasn’t functioning properly. Add to it that Kirane’s interference, and it resulted in a serious problem: his body was rejecting the cybernetics (or possibly the other way around), and eventually, it would probably kill him. Somehow, Logan managed to blame it on Kirane. He’s decided that, even if all other goals fail, he will do his best to make her life miserable. His last attempt, indirectly, brought the two of them to Ditto Town… and caused him to change his plans a bit. Stories Character has been in (Ditto Mansion roleplay, Fountain roleplay, Ditto Story numbers): None so far; going to be in Ditto Story 8 -- General Information Character Name: Ryana Armaya Armanos (Just call her Ryana, and never use “Armanos” around her) Character Nicknames or Titles: Aliases: Phoenix Archer, Vanessa Jones (The latter is no longer in use) Screen Name of Author: Ryadian Character Information Age: Around 22-23 Gender: Female Species: Half-human, half-phoenix Hair/Eye Colors: Red/gold wavy hair, icy blue eyes Weight/Height: You feel like asking?/Almost 6’ Distinct Markings: She has two marks that resemble scars where her wings extend/retract Clothes and Other Accessories: Since her recent encounter with Hasaré, Ryana has made it a point to wear regular clothing more often, almost to help her “recovery” into normal life. However, from time to time (after all, she still goes on patrol!), she dons the costume she wore as Phoenix Archer. The costume consists of fighting robe-esque clothing, with a color scheme of dark reds and gold. She also has a pair of boots (various shades of blue) made of a strange material; they’re fairly heavy until you get used to them, but they also add an extra sting when she kicks someone (very handy for her line of work). She has a cloth mask that covers her face (which is similar to a ninja’s mask in a cartoon show), with a storm design on it (the main cloth is silk-like and light gray, with a darker gray “cloud” embroidered to the top and a yellow “lightning bolt” coming out of the “cloud”). (After she revealed her identity to the whole town, she no longer needs the mask. She keeps it more out of nostalgia, and because it can be more intimidating.) She also has a black hooded cape which she uses when she wants stealth; it hides the bright colors on her clothing very well. It also has the design of the mask, but she can wear it inside-out so that it's black and more useful for stealth. Weapons: Two daggers, a bow, and lighting arrows, along with a set of arrows she received as a gift from the Vampire Fancier at a Christmas party (see Ditto Story 5). A note about her powers: she can use her elemental powers with the lightning arrows, but not the ones she received from the VF. Armor: No true armor, but her wings are bullet and arrow proof (they’re essentially made of a light metal) Residence: (caves, Ditto Mansion, etc) A cottage she rented for Ditto Story 4, and has owned since Ditto Story 5. Occupation: She is a vigilante, but she had some archaeological training as Vanessa before she came to Ditto Town. Generally, she uses all her skills for hire to make money. Mode of Transportation: Walking and flying (the latter is, understandably, preferred but less convenient most of the time). Overall Personality: Until she dropped her “Vanessa Jones” alias and began living as herself, she actually often lived a dual life. Vanessa was polite and somewhat friendly, but still kept herself at a distance from anyone. It was almost obvious that this personality was a mask. When she was more “herself”, she was militaristic, withdrawn into herself, but very passionate about certain subjects. She was only herself for brief periods of time, and only around her phoenix companions. However, times change. After she came to several realizations, she started letting herself be herself. She’s still introverted and still loses her temper easily, but now she uses the wit and humor she’s always had. Her passions are still there, but now she shares them with the friends she more easily makes. Personality Flaws: As was previously stated, she still loses her temper easily. Sometimes, she still finds it hard to be genuine around other people, and slips back into her façade (Vanessa in social situations, Phoenix Archer in more serious ones). She can be a little rash, and sometimes uncaring. Hobbies: She still doesn’t do anything in particular for fun—she’s still getting used to the idea. However, she does attend many events around town while trying to develop her own hobbies. Likes/Dislikes: Likes: Good, phoenixes, Ditto Town, helping people, people who aren't too nosy. Dislikes: The feeling of vulnerability, people who talk too much, people who are nosy, evil, vampires (she can't help that, as much as she's tried) Long-term Goals: Two goals, really. First, she wants to “atone” for what her mother and half-sister tried to do with her. Secondly, now that she has so completely fallen in love with Ditto Town… she wants to stop the Organization and whoever else may be pulling the strings, at whatever cost. Skills: Archery, flight (she can literally grow wings and fly), martial arts skills (mostly things she’s picked up on the way, meaning she’s more likely to use what works for her than any trained skills) Magic Skills: Weaker fire, ice, and lightning elemental abilities. Once, she could only use these elements using specially enchanted weaponry (her arrows for lightning, and her daggers for fire and ice). Now, she can use them more proficiently, and possibly without her weapons (she hasn’t dared to try it extensively). However, this came mostly because her telepathy was badly “damaged” after her bond with Evelyn, and she’s had to adapt. She can’t send messages as easily, unless she’s already “talking” to another telepath, but she can receive them very easily, even from great distances. Also, she’s still protected from anything but an intentional probe. As a byproduct of Evelyn’s empathy, Ryana can sometimes reach into another’s mind and “touch” them with a certain emotion, affecting their thinking and behavior briefly. Sustaining it, however, is very difficult. Family: Silan (phoenix father), Tharos Rikotan/Reika Armanos (human mother; the former is an alias), Hasaré (half-sister), her phoenix companions (probably related, but distantly) Friends: Her phoenixes, sort of the people of Ditto Town (more like allies, though she’ll grudgingly admit she’d like to make more friends), anyone good Enemies: All evil, Hasaré and Tharos/Reika Pets, etc: She has three phoenix companions that are as close to her as anyone has ever gotten. More recently, she got a dog: a Siberian Husky named Shadow. OR Characters to whom yours is a pet, sidekick, etc.: None Short History: Ryana is the only daughter of Silan, a phoenix, and a human woman she knew as Reika Armanos. As it turns out, however, her mother had an alter ego: Tharos Rikotan, a terrorist whose goals included vampire genocide. She married Silan with the express purpose of having a phoenix-human hybrid with the perfect mix of traits from both species. However, the only clue to her alter ego was Hasaré, her (at the time of Ryana’s birth) five-year-old daughter from her first marriage, who grew up knowing the truth, but also knowing to hide it. Five years later, Silan discovered the truth, and sent Ryana to stay with extended family. He tried to keep in touch with her, and Ryana was fostered both by the phoenix enclave and a human couple. However, a few years later, the home of her foster parents caught fire and burned down—the cause was never determined. The wife died and the husband was badly injured. Ryana feared the fire might have been her fault—her powers going out of control—and left to find some time to herself. Unfortunately, someone had other ideas—her mother and a now-grown Hasaré. They tried to convince her to join them, but Ryana wasn’t taken in for long. For one thing, she quickly realized this was too convenient—how did she know that they didn’t start the fire in the first place? Besides that, whether or not the vampires were evil, Ryana knew that Tharos had hurt other people, not just vampires—and killing them all was too extreme. Thankfully, a phoenix from the enclave arrived before the older women decided to stop using persuasion. After this, Ryana felt restless at the enclave. Finally, she decided to leave an explore the world. She received gifts from her friends, which would later become part of her alter ego as Phoenix Archer. She also developed an alter ego—Vanessa Dara Jones, with hair and eye color modeled after her foster mother. She also picked up some unexpected company—Brianna, Anna, and Diana, three sisters, who wanted to come with. She couldn’t dissuade them, so they adopted identities of their own and traveled with her. Since then, they’ve had many adventures—including the ones that convinced Ryana to make her home in Ditto Town. But that’s another story. She still goes by Phoenix Archer, just as a tribute to her past, but everyone knows the truth now; she now mostly goes by Ryana.

He was rescued by Kar and is living in Ditto Town where he rediscovered his lost love Dawn, one of the Vampire Fancier’s vampires, and her brother Xander. He helped destroy the School and is trying to discover the means of restoring his gargoyle physiology.

The night he succeeded in running away, his best friend Tommy was killed while distracting the guards and killing the Headmaster. Chase and Aro have been at odds since Chase first became aware of Aro. After Escaping the School, Chase traveled to Ditto Town, meeting Rana and the Star Defenders along the way. He participated in the battle at the end of DisOrganization!, learning that Kar was his uncle and receiving an Org PDA from the dray. Chase later traveled to a cave where he discovered a device that threw him into the Mist, where he was attacked by Losf. Chase then traveled with Greya, Rana and the Star Defenders to the School to rescue Christie, only to find she had been adopted. They visited the house of Lord Weinfuld, who they discovered was really Losf the Gorgon. Chase blinded Losf and they escaped. Chase later found Christie at the Salesman’s compound and learned to Walk the Mist from the short man. After encountering the Marksman and helping the Gibsons escape the Nine’s clutches, Chase led the assault on the School with the reformed Group, destroying the Weapon and the Shadow Warriors.

After he escaped, Christie was adopted by Lord Weinfuld, who was really Losf in disguise. Christie was rescued by the Salesman and Dahg (who died in the process) and she assisted the Salesman in his work against the Nine and the School’s army of Shadow Warriors. After the battle at the School, she moved in with Greya and Torla to wait for her brother’s return. She works at the Cup and Platter as a waitress, helping Hugh out with the busy hours.

The grandparents died after just after they tuned 17 but not before they set up a portal to Ditto Town in their basement so that they knew the twins would get there safely (they had heard from a friendly fairy that Ditto was the very best place to send their grandchildren). The twins soon set up their nostalgia shop on the ground floor of the three-storied abandoned house (the third story is the basement) where their grandparents had made the portal to (it connects to Naples during any time between 300 b.c. and 2050 a.d.) the basement.

Originally, however, she was halfelven, born of two halfelven parents. Height/Weight: 5’7”, ~130 lbs. Hair/Eyes: Brown/brown Appearance: Slim but curved and athletic. Long brown hair commonly worn in a French braid for convenience, wears glasses (used to be for distance vision, but that’s been corrected; she just likes how she looks with them on), usually in jeans and a t-shirt or turtleneck. These days whether her ears point or not is a toss up- as is whether or not her human grandfather’s clumsiness is manifesting itself. Personality: She’s like a big sister to everybody- she tries to be patient, kind, and intelligent without being patronizing...but she can be a control freak. She also tries to think out every possibility in every possible course whenever possible before choosing an action, yet does act quickly. She likes to appear tough because she feels the need to be strong for others. She can look fearless and be quivering inside. Has a few very close friends see past the veneer, but sometimes feels close relationships are dangerous for both sides, especially with men. However, she’s attracted to the hero type and isn’t above feigning interests in enemy agents if it serves her purpose. Has a temper, but a hard one to rouse or she’d always be angry. She both values and struggles with her relationship with Illuvatar; she has a hard time just trusting Him and letting Him take control. Likes: weapons, inventing stuff, designing, building, being in charge, spending time with close friends, disguises (though that is more of a love/hate relationship these days), singing, dancing, winning fights, Dislikes: uncertainty, vulnerability, failure/mistakes, being bored, being lonely, not being able to be herself Occupation: Former investigative agent, engineer/inventor; currently head of a 150-individual engineering company responsible for the construction and partial design of the Monmouth Memorial Astronomical Emporium and a few other projects about town. Family: Parents are Muireanne and Bellcaunion DeLaverock; has one sister, Song MacCormac (nee DeLaverock), and is first cousin to her fore-elf, Eruheran. Many other elvish and human relatives including a rather clumsy grandfather, and an Aunt Flarin and Uncle Tindar (Flarin is Muireanne’s sister, wife of Tindar, and mother of Eruheran.) Had an Aunt Drix, who died. Friends: Oceana, Katherine Grayson, Ryder Knight (nee Grayson), Olivia Nix, Lianna Gibson, Adrian, her crew, Cymru Llewellyn, Giles, Iaffn Llewellyn, Dr. Ivanos, Thundershadow, Erik and Abby Silvermoon, Phoenix Archer, most town residents. History: Genetically altered while in Muireanne’s womb by the Organization to achieve close to genetic perfection by way of her elvish genes as a backup to the Genesis project that resulted in Cymru. Due to this, Aria possesses intelligence well above the average and completed all her schooling by the time she was sixteen. Her parents were supposed to have died when she was only four, and was raised by her aunt Drix for four years before escaping; unbeknownst to her parents, Drix had turned to dark magic and, once she had custody of Aria and Song, ignored them or sought to control them. When the girls escaped with the help of their tutor, a Faun named Fergus, Drix was devastated by her failure to have the power to stop them, and set fire to her estate. She perished when she could not escape. Aria spent the years following her degree involved with various covert organizations, going undercover to seek the truth about her parents’ death. Having discovered the truth of her genetic manipulation, she eventually decided she had all the answers she was going to get and formed her own travelling engineering company. This eventually brought her to Ditto Town, where she was asked to build the Astronomical Emporium, met Cymru (her sister in experimentation), and was reunited with her real sister, Song, whom she had not seen in years. She and her team participated in the Battle of Ditto Town, and later set off for space in the Dittopian StarSeeker following a series of dreams in which Aria learned that her parents were alive, but were elsewhere in the galaxy. En route, she was infected by an Organization-developed retrovirus which was designed to perfect her human DNA, making her a second Cymru, but her elvish genetics fought back, leading to her current state. She did find Muireanne and Bellcaunion, and the discovery they had fled the planet to hide- an enzyme that would facilitate genetic alteration to the point that it would be absurdly easy- and eventually returned to Ditto Town. Most recently, she was involved in saving the life of Verena Gibson, and following, Katherine’s journey to an interdimensional lock that needed sealing, providing moral and battle support. Thundershadow Age: 102 self-measured years Species: Narnian unicorn Height/Weight: 16 hands, 1500 lbs. Hair/Eyes: White/brown Appearance: Um...white unicorn, 1m long pearlescent horn on forehead. Feathering at fetlocks, prefers mane and tail naturally long. Used to wear a gold locket around neck, now wears thicker decorative leather collar in white with silver accents. Personality: Wise, personable, gentle, forgiving. A fierce fighter, a kind counsellor, and a quick thinker when push comes to shove but prefers to take time, and speak only after much thought. Very patient, probably due to having seen a great deal of odd things. Quite adventurous, and fiercely defensive of friends. Special Abilities: She is mildly telekinetic and can change appearance at will, to the point of being able to chameleon herself into a kind of invisibility and “cloak” her horn. Since her return from near-death (see below), she can also emit light- from a dim moonlight to a fierce, blinding glow. Likes: carrots, apples, and a good clover hay; good friends, giving advice, defending those she loves, conversations, and sometimes designing things Dislikes: Minding her own business, saying goodbye Occupation: Interworld traveller, but has been stopping in Ditto Town (though somewhat erratically) for the past while; served as First Officer of the Dittopian StarSeeker. Amateur astronomer, and designer/sort-of-architect for the Monmouth Memorial Astronomical Emporium. Family: Daughter of Fleetwood and Stormfly, both of whom still live happily in Narnia. Friends: Erik and Abby Silvermoon (with a standing offer to babysit for them when their egg hatches), Aria DeLaverock and her crew and family, Cymru Llewellyn, Darth Devaricate, Katherine Grayson and the rest of the Gibson/Grayson/Knight/Nix family, Skyhunter the Falcon, most town citizens Short History: Thundershadow was foaled during the reign of King Rillian of Narnia, though he is still king there when she visits due to the difference in how time travels between worlds. When still a young filly, she was exploring some caves near the western waterfall and discovered a set of keys- one yellow, and one green…you can guess what happened when she picked up the yellow one second. In the Wood, Aslan appeared to Thundershadow and told her His purpose: that she travel to other worlds and help others in His name. This eventually led to her entering the Dittopian world shortly before the battle for the underground fountain. Soon after, she met Erik Silvermoon for the first time and designed the Astronomical Emporium. She was then involved in an attempt to protect Cymru during the Ian/Yves crisis, and was shot during a Christmastime confrontation in the square. She seemed to have died, in the end asking Erik to send her back to the Wood. However, she later returned, having been healed by a fellow interworld traveller who resembled a living ball of light, and now sometimes glows as a side effect. She joined Aria’s quest to find her parents, serving as first officer of the StarSeeker, and recently returned from Katherine’s journey to the interdimensional lock, wherein she was able to be of assistance thanks to her own interworld travels. From Aravanna: General Information Character Name: Erica Wilkins Author: Aravanna Character Information Age: 15 (An awkward age by all accounts) Gender: Female Species: Human... as far as you know... (No, she’s human) Hair/Eye Colors: Brownish-Blond/Blue Weight/Height: 104 pounds/5 feet 3 inches Distinct Markings: She has a scar on her left hand from a burn but other than that, she’s one of the more normal denizens of Ditto Town. Clothes and Other Accessories: She's a jeans and T-shirt person Weapons: Since her arrival in Ditto Town she's acquired a light double-edged saber that she can make limited use of. Armor: none Residence: The Mansion, although how she affords it remains a mystery since she has no job. Occupation: She's been looking for a job for a while now, but she hasn't been able to find anything. Hints have been dropped that she might be able to find work at the Watermill. Mode of Transportation: Her feet and teleportation when Val is in a good mood (see below.) Overall Personality: Erica is extremely shy and non-confrontational. While thoughtful and possessing a love of learning, she's not a genius by any means. She can actually be fierce when something she deeply cares about is threatened (although a little clumsy in the attempt.) However, it's very rare to see her like this since she only have a few friends and precious few important beliefs. Personality Flaws: Erica is painfully shy and way too concerned about what other people think of her, although her shyness is starting to vanish thanks to Val submersing her in awkward situations all the time. For the most part, she’s also very passive about her fate. Hobbies: Daydreaming and sleeping. Likes/Dislikes: She likes imagining how her life could be as well as math (especially algebra.) In a bizarre sort of way, she also likes Val and her antics. She dislikes loud people, temperatures below 60 F and zits. Long-term Goals: She would like to find a job in Ditto Town and some day return to Earth and a normal life. Skills: Erica possesses the ability to get herself into awkward situations. Magic Skills: none Family: Two embarrassing parents and an older brother, Alex Micah Wilkins, back on Earth. She misses them almost all the time although she doesn’t talk about it. Friends: Erica’s best friend is a fairy dragon named Valyantasha. She is acquainted with Eric and Abby the gargoyles. Nerrha the Star Defender also taught her how to use a sword. Recently she’s become good friends with Roj and Axe since they’re friendly, funny, and close to her age. Enemies: Someone named Fredrick who tried to take Val from her. I have reason to suspect he might have been working under someone as well. Pets, etc: None (Never call Val a pet under pain of being bitten by someone who can breathe fire once they’ve clamped on.) Short History: Erica grew up in Northeastern United States back on Earth when her brother sent her a fairy dragon egg for her birthday. (He had extras, although in retrospect, it might have been better to get her a watch, or makeup.) Val hatched but only a few months later the two of them began to be stalked by someone named Fredrick who was apparently after Val. Erica tried to run for it and was almost caught when Val teleported them to Ditto Town at the last possible second. Since arriving, Erica hasn't done much except look for a job, meet Roj and Axe, and save the Phoenix Archer (although her involvement in that particular event isn’t clear to even the author.) Stories Character has been in: Ditto Story 6-7 General Information Name: Valyatasha Character Nicknames or Titles: Val (Please call her this. I don’t know what I was thinking when I gave her that other name.) Author: Aravanna Character Information Age: A little over two years old. She’s still a juvenile, although how juvenile is hard say since fairy dragons live anywhere between 60 and 150 years. Gender: Female Species: Fairy Dragon (very rare and often magical little critters they are.) Hair/eye: No hair but she has bluish-grey skin and her butterfly wings have some violet and turquoise in them. Her eyes are blue. Weight/height: Currently about 6 inches long with a 7 inch wing span. She only weighs about five ounces. Distinct Markings: She's a miniature dragon with brilliant blue and purple butterfly wings. What more do you want? Clothes and Other Accessories: None Weapons: Her sharp little claws and teeth, and amounts of fire proportional to her tiny lungs. Armor: Her scales, although they’re not much tougher than a lizard’s scales would be. Residence: The Mansion Occupation: Getting Erica into trouble and adventures, being a member of The Originality (bwa ha ha,) and exploring Ditto Town. Mode of Transportation: Her wings and teleportation. Overall Personality: Her personality is rather like a cat: independent, mischievous, curious, and proud. She's as intelligent as a human although she has no interest in most technology, and lacks common sense. She's bold and feisty in contrast to Erica, but is very loyal despite all of this. Personality Flaws: See above Hobbies: Teleporting, snooping, eating, and hunting small animals. Likes/Dislikes: She likes Originality!, evening, crunchy beetles, being the center of attention, and making mischief. She dislikes the reality that most people are stronger and bigger then her. She also dislikes having to sit in one place too long and to her credit, she dislikes anything being treated cruelly and doesn't play with her food like cats do. Long-term Goals: She doesn't really have any. Maybe to pull off an Originality attack like the world has never seen? Skills: Making mischief Magic Skills: Teleportation, although if you jump between worlds, there’s a chance that a something could go wrong and you’ll end up... well not in the world you’re aiming for. Erica doesn’t know this though. Breathing fire might be considered magical, or it might have a chemical basis. You’d have to ask Alex. Family: Alex apparently owns a fairy dragon that’s her twin. Friends: Erica and the Manipulator of the Mundane. She also kind of likes Roj and Axe. Enemies: Same as Erica. Short History: Valyantasha was given to Erica as an egg. She hatched, and was kept a secret until both of them were forced into Ditto Town. Once in Ditto Town, Val set off the sprinkles at a Valentine's Ball, got in big trouble, and joined the Originals as a result. She's helped MM's hamsters on one sabotage mission which targeted Rider's room. She’s also been off on a TOP SECRET mission to rescue the Phoenix Archer.
