croikI posted this over at the community non_plot just now, so I thought...I might as well put it here, too! Just some original characters of mine. The numbers next to them are the scores each got on the Mary Sue Test a friend of mine helped cook up.
Feych - 11
How Feych got so low, I have no idea. I might have to tally again :P. She's a hunter/trapper from a very primative fantasy world, her specialty being archery. She's about average height with a light build, brown eyes and hair (just above shoulder length), and a few freckles. She dresses mostly in dark blue and has a big hat. She's pretty much a loner, cynical and quiet, though she secrety enjoys a challenge.
Feych is also from a very small village in the south of the continent she lives in, though she has gained some fame in the north for her hunting skills (especially in hunting a breed of hairless wolves used by mercenary groups). Her people have the odd belief that if a woman sleeps with several different men during the spring, each of them will contribute to being the father of whatever child is born. Because of this the woman will pick out a few men with favorable qualities they'd like for their children. Feych does the same, but her failing is that she doesn't have the best sense for what consititues a "favorable trait", or very high standards. That, combined with the fact that the north doesn't observe this custom, has earned her the reputation of something of a slut ^^;;.
Nareah Alifaushe - 29
Nareah is a male opera singer in a 18th century style world (nothing Earth-based so far, but I'm still considering). He's fairly tall but has a boyish face, which causes some confusion as to his age of 24. His hair is blonde and curly which he keeps pulled back unless he's performing, and his eyes are dull blue. The opera was considered to be more of a commoner's entertainment until just recently, when several upper class nobels started to attend and boosted its popularity. Nareah is by no means the most proficient singer of his troop, but because he happened to be cast in a lead role during the onset of this interest in the theatre, he has gained a lot of popularity. His peers are none too happy about it.
Nareah's story focuses mostly around his unwilling connection to a group of religious revolutionaries that begin using the opera house as a place to trade plans and documents--as well as his growing attraction to one of them. He's been pretty well spoiled because of his fame, and when he's not on stage he seems to most to be a selfish, flamboyant child. But this stems mostly from his uncertainty, and he drops the act whenever anyone calls him on it.
Shadenfreude - 19
Shadenfreude is my latest project, so I don't have much on him save looks and the very barest of his personality and story. He's lanky, with a bony face and wide-set eyes most people find offputting. He's a redhead naturally, but over the course of the story he dyes it (badly) to look more crimson. I want the world he exists into be something extravagent--like late 1700s, early 1800s cityscape but with a bizarre, comicboook kind of flair. Something inherently silly, so that he'll fit in with the white 3 piece suit I can't seem to picture him without ^^.
Shadenfreude's father is very wealthy, who begins investing money in a local crime syndicate (did those things even exist in 1810? Reasearch time...). Shadenfreude, therefore, thinks of himself as a bigshot by association, but quickly gets in over his head. Somewhere, about 1/3rd through the story or so, I want him to get shot--or shot at--resulting in something metallic being lodged in his brain. (If you've studied psychology, I'm sure you know the story of Phinneas Gage. Something like that, but less extreme). It leaves him functional but far more extreme in many ways, especially...his white 3 piece suit ^o^.
