honestly, i didn't think about that, but now that you mention it. yeah, that makes sense.

and if it were up to me, i would say both LMAOOO -- but as is, i think go for serious? and eheh, good to hear.

yeah, fair enough. i used to have troubles, too, 'til i found some female characters in fiction that i could obsess over. after that the problem just kind of. disappeared. kind of weird, really, but i think i get why.

anyhow! i finished up my doodles, so i can probably actually get to working on the sign-ups -- i'll show 'em to you as soon as i can get them uploaded to postimg n shit, but yeah. i'm struggling really hard with the details of the species, but i think aster will probably be, like, a forest spirit or something? like, something between a dryad and. like. a caribou. and then i might make anton a phantom, and then dulcie an angel because i can't think of anything better (by the way, are there any deities in this world other than the twins? or churches or anything like that, because if so, i can probably work on making her species deal a little bit more interesting than just "angel". as long as i get confirmation that at least something like that /exists/, i can just develop it on my own, so don't worry about it), and i've always known ai would be a huli jing so that's what she is.

alright, good! yeah, that definitely helps. i can work with that ^^

and alright, great! since brain and brawn are siblings, i hope the forest spirit thing helps with them. and for characters' appearances (or at least faces and haircuts, i might do fullbodies later):

^ anton

^ dulcie (this ones' expression is a little simple but these are quick doodles and i couldn't think of anything better)

^ ai

^ aster
