Yay! Haha, I spent a lot of time experimenting and drawing from other people's works, and after trying out eyes like that... I sorta just bent it to my own style and never looked back. I'm glad they have that sort of effect! I think it gives characters a lot more depth.

Yeah, I borrow books from a library. If I really like the books, I will consider buying them. I generally don't have any secondhand books, though I do have one retired book that I loved, loved, loved as a kid... had to do some searching for it.

XD Research and background are really good for helping solidify story and rationale. They make the result feel more material, more powerful.

ahah, it's actually pretty interesting to see what ideas we worked off, too. They tend to be quite different from what they are now, and the oddest thing is when you understand why you did something... or decided you didn't, because of one thing or other. I have quite a few fanfic chars, too, but none that I had the guts to pair with a canon. XD Most of my character development comes from Naruto RPs, and Ruso's one of my few original characters since I stopped RPing Naruto.

Haha... oh man. Locker rooms. They are... surprising, sometimes. ... >_>

Oh, yeah. You did give him a name. Maybe not in-RP, but I know you told me OoC. And I mean, if there's an unlikeable character, I generally find them hate-able in-character, but likeable OoC. So Ixus was a pretty big change for me.

aww. Nyris is a somewhat more realistic character in terms of her abilities, though, and while that's a good thing, too, I respect wanting to be able to do more. xD Plus I think Ruso needs a break from having to protect her as much as he has--not that he doesn't enjoy holding it over her. XD She seems to have lost some of her combative compulsiveness in the second RP (not including the public one) from the first. Which I think I found a little disconcerting at first, then got used to...? On the other hand, Ruso's gotten relentlessly more savage with his magic.

Wow, nice to hear he's of use to someone... in a good way. U8 ... Poor Ruso. Never had a character so utterly conflicted by so many things and so deeply. xD His morals and his instincts are all being smacked around. I personally don't think I have a good enough idea of what Nyris looks like to draw her.

And look how fabulously Ruso turned out! 8D As far as having the guts to pair one of my own characters with a canon, I definitely look back on that and want to smack myself, but oh well, it happens. Fanfic characters have grown progressively more in fashion with me it feels xD just me craving to be a part of that world I suppose~ Actually, now that you say it, I don't think I have many original characters that aren't fan fiction based. o__o Dunno why though, there's so much more freedom with characters that aren't from pre made universes...hrmm.
I'm sad that I didn't get to witness the other cameo character you had in mind for our RP by the way. :<

8I Surprising is putting it lightly....

That's what I though, I vaguely remember having that conversation. Yeah, hateable characters I tend to actually hate but have this inner battle that forces part of me to like them anyway, just because they are part of the entertainment I guess. xD Does that make sense?

Well I definitely figured out what to do about her lack of fighting abilities, well...at least she'll be able to protect herself a bit more sufficiently I mean. xD And hopefully we'll get to see some more magic due to it. 8D Though I despise magic in most cases, I think I will make her an exception because I like the little idea behind why she's better with it now, and can use it in bigger capacity. Til I find a flaw with the idea at least. :I And I did notice she wasn't as combatively compulsive the second time around too, which I don't particularly like either. >.> Glad to know I wasn't just imagining it, ehehe. I like seeing what sort of Magic Ruso can whip up since it's different from other sorts of magic that people tend to write out~ I've always thought it was pretty creative in how dark it is and how it gets used. :>

xD Was he of used to someone in a bad way? And Ruso. Sometimes I feel like he wants to feel one thing but morally compelled to do another and just aldkjfadf, he's a pretty deep guy, to which I'm surprised he hasn't had at least a small break down with not frigging telling anyone anything. :I
Ahaha, yeahh. Well, especially now since she's been changed, like, oh my god a lot. It's difficult to draw her up though because every time I try I end up more or less despising the reference due to my limited art abilities. 8I I've almost just went ahead and commissioned a reference for her instead, cause I figure I would like it better then. I have a pretty good idea of her physical looks now adays, one that I like a lot, but her clothes are of course being a bitch. xD Always something being difficult~

WOW I THOUGHT YOU WENT OFFLINE BUT REALLY -- /refreshes OMG WHAT YOU EVEN. GO TO SLEEP.

I'm... I'm not sure which characters I meant for cameos, hahaha. I have so many characters. Most of them aren't quite as interesting as Ruso, I think... though one is quite quirky, being this super old and massive dragon with a young human form. XD Ah, the wonders~

...Let's not go there.

Well... someone has to play the bad guy, right? That's how Ruso came about in the public RP, where he was actually supposed to be that "evil" character. EXCEPT SOMEHOW TOWARDS THE END HE TURNED OUT TO HAVE A FEELS BACKSTORY. RUSO WHAT EVEN. Yeah. Nyris. You stop doing that to people. Sometimes your "bad" char is just destined for hardship and possibly death, in the end, though... I have a character like that. He's perhaps likeable for his charisma and unusual perspective, but at the same time despicable for his methods and manipulation. ...Kind of like Ixus? xD

Ohoho. I had an idea about Nyris, too... cuz you know, Ruso giving over half his "life/being," ... well, you'd think there's bound to be some sort of consequence, right? Though, I imagine Nyris would have no idea, and if anything... maybe Ruso doesn't, either. I'm still thinking on it! It's kind of funny, that Ruso was supposed to be more physical, but he relies quite a bit on his magic. Though, since it's based on his blood and he actually needs to have the strength to use his abilities... I'm not really sure which way his magic goes. @_@ ...Or is there "physical" magic. Hmm... /notsurewherethisisgoing. I'm glad you find it interesting! 8D I'd love to see more of Nyris' work, too.

Ixus' suggestion of Nyris using Ruso, maybe? xD Ruso's pack using him, to some extent. Ixus also used Ruso to get to Nyris, though, I'm unclear as to why Nyris wasn't killed before she could wander away. In realistic circumstances, anyway. If that had actually happened, our RP would just end or you'd need a replacement. XD

And yeah, totally. Ruso is being pulled in so many directions. xD There are times when his thought processes become so complex that by the time they really matter, I've forgotten what he thought... which I guess is kind of a sign that his thoughts aren't clear, but also that he's thought so far ahead and considered so many details that I personally have forgotten what to factor in. @_@ Though, really, what's he gonna do if he breaks down? Cry? Mope? Sulk? Sleep? I'm not sure. Maybe just seriously depressed. I should look up actual wolves' reactions and such.

Oh man, clothes. SAME WITH ME. Ruso's thought out physically, but his clothes... fiwnfwiofnaffwaneiof I need something that is both sleek and practical... and suiting. I get caught on what would be appropriate for someone of his activity to wear. Same deal?

I have work in the morning, WHA-- WHY AM I STILL UP I DUNNO?
WOW, THAT'S A FUCKING HUGE WALL OF INTERESTING TEXT
I THINK I'LL REPLY.

xD Yeah...yeah, figured that would happen. I can't remember the exact words you used to describe the one I'm thinking of either, which would probably help a crap ton to figure out who he is...though I remember the dragon, and I'm disappointing they didn't meet him either! D: He seemed like one that was really interesting and I mean, come on, he's a dragon. WHODUNLIKEDRAGONPEOPLE.

...so much naked...ahmygod...

I feel like the 'bad' characters we create somehow end up just being a bit misjudged >.> orjustasshats. And that character of yours sounds like he might get along well with Ixus...or they'd both get frustrated with each other. xD PSH, KIND OF HARD TO IMAGINE RUSO AS THE EVIL ONE NOW....

Oh man, now I'm intrigued >.> wondering what this idea of yours is, but I'm not going to be let in on it am I!? D8 /suffers. Heh, physical magic. I guess that could be the right way to explain it, all just depends on how you look at it I guess? Cause if the magic is reliant on the wielder's body/strength then it's sort of the same as if they were wielding a big sword and if they just kept getting pounded by the opponent they would have a harder and harder time using it. Yes, yeah, I think physical magic is a good name for it. Or am I just talking in circles? Oh god, I don't know now. xD Woo, magic!

Oh, oh I see. XD I thought you were just referring to being used outside the rp, but...yup, Ruso's being used by everyone it seems. :I And Ixus purposely uses him, cause that's what Ixus does. 8D He's an ass hat~ And maybe he didn't kill her before she wandered away because he intended to watch from afar as she died while her comrades watched and he's sick like that? But hadn't had the forethought that Ruso would be able to bring her back like he did? /Idefinitelydidn'tjustmakethatuponthespot... AND  yeah, probably for the sake of the RP more or less. xD Actually, thinking back, I actually believe I had the intention of permanently killing her. >.> But Ruso surprised even me! But I'm glad she didn't...you know, permanently die. BI CauseIwasbeingstupid

Frigging Ruso, stop being so complex...but yeah, don't...really...lemme adore you, you adorable complex man. ;w; I dunno, Crying didn't strike me as the first thing he would do if he snapped. Maybe more on the very angry and destructive end of the spectrum, but I think if you look into what sort of reactions wolves had it would be very interesting. Wolves are freaking amazing, they're just...awesome. And scary. They are terrifying actually. xD

YES. SAME DEAL. SAME EXACT DEAL. I just keep trying to refer back to different types of cultures, and there's so many ideas yet none that actually seem to properly suit her. And and...and adklfjafd. No /throws tablet.

You know what, I really love the fact that Ruso and Nyris' relationship had grown like it would in a somewhat actual setting. I've been in a few rps recently and it's killing me inside just how fast the relationships bloom, and almost all of them are one days friends, next day 'here let me suck yer face'. STOPI'MDYINGSTAHPIT.

Maybe I should sleep now. :I

...ME TOO. I MEAN--

I'm going to regret this.

If our RP got saturated with cameos... it'd just be crazy. xD I wish they'd gotten to the next city, though. I wanted a steampunk one! That would be where we find Phalom and Faros again... and in the end, they'd finally meet Ruso's--what. Who. Huh I didn't say anything. 8D ... HEHEHE.

Uhm... yes... >_> It's good that people are confident in themselves or just don't care what people think, but... /looksaway

Nah, I think they'd just be at each other's throats. xD Villainous characters with similar personalities tend to clash in one way or another, I think, sometimes very violently and sometimes in more subtle ways. I agree that Ruso probably doesn't fall under "evil," though. He's more misjudged, but mostly for his objectivity and lack of caring for anyone else's motives but his own. When he first showed, he was just taking orders and going on a brief tangent to amuse himself. Which... meant intimidating and threatening a group of less-adept people--a woman and children, no less, though that hardly has any weight on some races/classes--and overall being a formidable pest. XD I think he likes it that way... he doesn't get attached, and he stays fierce because he has less to lose. No emotional attachment has its pros.

Ahh, the terminology is just confusing. Though, yes, Ruso does rely heavily on his physical well-being to be able to execute his magic, so it's not just stamina+mental energies. I guess that gives him an excuse to be fit in a lot of aspects, and it's a life-saver. Makes me wonder about Teslan's... man, magic is just so complicated, and having such a vague definition, it could go anywhere! That's what makes it fun, I suppose.

AND RUSO KNOWS HE'S BEING USED. D: It tears him apart, meng, because by doing what he feels he should do, he knows he's playing into someone's hands... and yet if he does otherwise, he has to fight himself. IXUS YOU BASTARD. /o\ And wow. I had no idea you ever intended to make it permanent? @_@; Ruso surprised me, too. I think his thoughts about Nyris are quite complicated... he doesn't feel strongly enough about her that he would give his life for her or do something unthinkable. He's more willing to hurt himself than to jump hoops, though... xD To him, though, while additional damage to others may be somewhat regrettable, in the end they're just collateral. Which is where we see a bit more of his pack mentality, where his pack takes precedence over anything else. For now, Nyris is helping him along the way home, or wherever, so that's reason enough to have her around. Truth be told, it may be that Ruso's magic was never meant for what he did, and he literally just forced it with his will. So... who knows what the consequences are. 8D

Mm, Ruso could be destructive, too. From what I know, canines tend to be reclusive and overly aggressive when they're feeling nasty and unhappy. I think that would suit Ruso just fine, too. That sounds good for humans, but, as mentioned in the past, Ruso's more wolf than human. ...If it could even be considered human, because technically he's anything but. A valdyris could technically turn into anything when changing from a wolf, since the "human" is just a mental visualization made physical.

NO DON'T DO IT. /savestablet. KEEP TRYING. DO IT. I've been thinking about commissioning art of these two... but our references suck. 8D

Ah, I never thought of that. They certainly do have their ups and downs, too... like... crazily. xD But they have their moments! Ruso and Nyris have some good chemistry, even if their personalities and motives clash quite a bit sometimes. If they would just learn to work together!

... I should sleep, too. Ughhh. I ... shall resist replying to your message while I'm at work, if your respond before I get home. BECAUSE IF I DIDN'T, THAT WOULD BE BAD. YOU HEAR ME?

REGRETTING IT. REGRETTING IT SO HARD RIGHT NOW. 

MEET RUSO'S WHAT?! WHAT?! NO DON'T DO THIS. YOU'REBEINGCRUEL. I really love steampunk stuff, it's just so interesting, and the styles, and the trinkets that come about and-- it's just awesome, kay? >.> Frigging Phalom and Faros. They keep slinking from place to place, and I love them for it~ 

HAhaha. Yeah I-I'm good. BI

Yeah, true. I can't really see Ixus necessarily 'getting along' with anyone. The closest he's come so far is Ruso, and even then look at just how 'friendly' he's been. xD Even if he doesn't want to get emotionally attached doesn't mean he can always succeed at that though, which makes me sad because we all know Ruso will just have to struggle even more. RUSO, I'M SO SORRY YOU HAVE MENTAL CONFLICT, BUT IT MAKES FOR GOOD READING AND FEELS. :I But I'd say he's done a pretty okay job of it so far though, the stubborn butt.

Fun but oh so frustrating at times. xD Aw, I sure do miss the other wolfs though. :

...and Lucian. x__x

It's like I can feel Ixus' pride swelling, yeesh. xD IMPULSE MURDER IS BAD. I think Nyris has mixed feelings towards Ruso, seeing as more often than not he's prone to messing with her or snapping and thus a fight/argument will ensue, but at the same time she can see a bit of where he's coming from with it, especially with current events in particular. Buut, she's still a bit of a selfish brat~ 

These consequences....IWANNAKNOWASDFASF.

The wolf form that valdyris have, that can be considered something like their 'true' form right? Or are they actually something beyond that as well?

xD YES. YES THEY DO. At least Ruso has a bit more stable reference than Nyris at this point, but for the most part I'm not all too sure what his clothes look like honestly, apart from his coat. /drawshimnaked 8I Welp, this'll have to do!

Psh, working together? THAT'S PREPOSTEROUS. And was I the only one who referred to the little scene in the door way? Cause that...kinda cute in it's ways. /shrug 8I Though I certainly do love their arguments; so much conflict. CONFLICT EVERYWHERE.

Maybe I shouldn't be doing this at work. 8D ButIamhuehuehue

Now I must calmly await for your reply since you don't want to, you know, get fired. xD

ME TOO. WELL, NOT SO MUCH NOW. I kept hitting snooze and slept in an hour... and got to work only ten minutes after I was supposed to. Goes to show how much time I give myself in the morning.

MUWAHAHAHA. If we keep working on that RP, I'd delve a little more into Ruso's personal life. (8< heeheeehe. lulI'msmilinglikeafool. AndyesI'matwork. Mhm~ Phalom and Faros was sneaky like that. Phalom is one of them pro thiefs, meng, and Faros needs to be evasive to stay alive sometimes, cuz of dat... you know... Gundam pilot background.

Ixus and Ruso could have some amazing verbal exchanges. They are both quite vicious when it comes to combat, too, though Ixus has the advantage of being able to manipulate his own body and heal. I imagine the healing isn't infinite, though... but that's just me applying science. XD Oh man, Ixus emotionally attached to Ruso = ???!? ...Yeah, is totally good readings. And writings.

Lyndall... Lyndall's dead. XD But I do have some backstory for him and Lucian, and some for Kharaja/Teslan/Dasgran/Asaka/Anasa. I had a plot idea for Dove and Mattsa, as well~ And perhaps Motz. /o/ hurhur. We just never got far enough.

Heh, but despite all the infighting, Ruso and Nyris still keep coming back together to handle the situation and help each other out. XD They have similar values at heart, I think, but their outlooks are radically different. It's funny though... I spent probably 2-3 hours rereading yesterday before sleeping (which caused me to sleep only an hour + the hour I wasn't supposed to) and it really struck me when I read Ruso's line, something like, "Am I not once allowed to be selfish...?" after his second run-in with Ixus before the werewolf town. Man. I don't think I realized at the time how much that would weigh on him, or anyone who understood it.

I actually haven't thought too much about the consequences yet. Don't hold your breath while this RP isn't moving. XD

Hmm, yes, I suppose the wolf could be considered the true form, as it cannot be changed. It's possibly that there's a form that is "truer" than that, but I'm undecided right now and it's not particularly important at the moment, either. However, it's also possible to be in the alternate form and have that sort of become the "true" form, figuratively speaking, by abandoning the wolf. Valdyris pick up the human form, though, because it's become ... inherent, I suppose. Siblings even tend to resemble each other as real humans often do.

Naw, I made up that jacket for Ruso on the spot. XD I've been fiddling... I love the fur around his collar, and he really doesn't need a hood--I think it would get in his way and doesn't really suit him except in instances when he needs it (more for fun than anything). Either way, the fur needs to be somewhere~ and wau. How inappropriate. >_> What would Ruso do, hmmm...

Haha, I suppose it was kind of cute. Shows that Ruso can have no regard for personal space sometimes... and he doesn't care if it makes people uncomfortable. ... Though I guess he does it sometimes BECAUSE it makes people uncomfortable. He loves getting reactions out of people. XD Nyris is the perfect target.

... I... I didn't do it.

Wha-- what are you...YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING. D8 /asamIwhoops

Yeah, I slept in about fifteen minutes more than I should have; sat up with the intention of getting ready and just fell asleep sitting there. |D

We should work on it more, definitely, but I'm going to try and figure out what the hell to do with Nyris first. I want to make a reference sheet. 8I Not saying I'm determined, but I'm determined...

8D Ooh, his personal life? That's bound to be a fun time |D

Hurhurhur, oh Gundam.... They seem to make a pretty awesome team though~

Ah, nope, his healing isn't infinite, at least not currently, but it's going to prove a very very big challenge if someone ends up wanting to kill him. xD Psh, Ixus refuses to become emotionally attached to anything besides himself /okaywellmaybethere'safewexceptions...

Been dead for a while xD but still a cool character~ :> And these frigging plot ideas of yours just--ah, can't handle it. I'm smiling like a tard and my co-workers think I'm a freak. ASLACKERFREAK...Imeanwut.

Yeah, I read that part yesterday too because I was looking through trying to find the parts with Ixus to see if I had named him in-character, and I think I died a little during that conversation. Not to mention Ruso didn't really even get the sleep he was looking for out there. @_@ Ruso's situation stresses me out a bit. 

Aahaha, kay, I'll try not to dwell too much on the thought. :>

>.> /soaking up the information

Huh. Makes you wonder the reason for a valdyris making the choice to abandon the wolf form.

|D I see. To be honest, it didn't much dawn on me that he had a hood until I saw that recent picture of him you drew. Would the Valdyris' have any particular style of outfit you think? Or is it just basically based on practicality with their own personal sense of style mixed in? xD I hardly do characters in clothes grace, I can't imagine what would happen if I tried to draw them naked. My paper would probably burn itself. Still, it's funny to wonder what he would do in that situation...

Definitely left a 'wut' feeling there, I can say that. Especially since Nyris is more on the 'no touchy' end of the spectrum. I adore their differences xD It's so much more entertaining versus having two characters that fall perfectly in harmony with one another, though I suppose these two have their own kind of harmony...but it's more like yin yang. :>

We have little will power when it comes to this stuff. ;w;

I... HUH WHAT? 8D ...

I... need to make a reference sheet, too, once I decide on the design in the first place. But I've always been pretty bad with reference sheets. I guess it'd be easier if any of my characters actually had any solid clothing. XD And yeah, it should be interesting, at least. I need to do a bit more dreaming to get things fleshed out.

Phalom and Faros have always been fleeting sort of characters. Phalom used to be a lot quieter and younger and not so outspoken, but I think he's learned over the years that he can still be subtle through words, not just actions. Faros, on the other hand, has mellowed out a bit...? He doesn't have quite such a big loudmouth now.

Welp, Ruso has an idea about Ixus... but it depends on what Ixus' answer is. Then negotiations may begin... maybe... If he gets the answer he wants, oh man, with how things have been going, the situation is only bound to get twisted up some more.

PLOTS. AW YE. Lots of mapping and lots of sidestories to write, though~ I need to write those sidestories and stop worrying about them having morals or lessons and such like conventional shortstories do. And just. Write. And get better by doing, not worrying.

Nah, you didn't name Ixus in-character. Ruso's emotions get me all riled up so often. XD His frustration, his rage, his exhilaration. U8 Oh man. Rollercoaster, meng, it can't be healthy.

I wrote up some more valdyris info on the bus... details about the transformation process itself. Kind of interesting stuff to think about! And technical for something imaginary. There could be rogues with their own reasons... I could see an entire pack making such a choice, and eventually evolving or mutating to something beyond their control, or something of the like.

Ruso never had a hood in the past--I just put it in that last pic. And while valdyris as a whole don't have any particular style of clothing, they might follow trends within the pack. I haven't drawn everyone, but I can tell you--because it would have been visible--that Ruso's clothing isn't as similar to other Blackguards' as you might expect. It's not too obvious, though, and would probably need some conscious consideration to realize. You might see why, later ~ Generally clothing is just personalized, but as I mentioned, packmates will gravitate towards each other in terms of appearance.

Harmony makes things move too smoothly. A story becomes nothing more than an idealized romance with some heroics, really. In ours... nothing is that black and white, and it's not like, protagonist is automatically in love with protagonist sort of thing. At this point, after all this time, Ruso and Nyris could totally still break each other. XD ... okaywellNyrismightfinditabitharder. BUT THEY STILL SUPPORT EACH OTHER DESPITE THEIR DIFFERENCES. That is the best. +_+

...And yeah I ... I didn't write all that. This'll be my last until I get home, though.

Came home and passed out. Now I can't sleep. 8D

Ugh, righttt? ewe And the process of actually making the solid clothing is about as difficult to come up with as the reference sheet itself sometimes. It's a vicious cycle! THE CIRCLE OF LIFE-- I mean. Wut... The fact that you can resort to dreams to figure this stuff out makes me uncomfortably jealous. >.>

THat's Faros being mellow? Well then, wonder what he used to be like. xD Though it's cool that they've matured all the same. 8D

When does the situation ever not get twisted up more? Especially since Ixus isn't the kind to just let things happen as they happen, he always has to try and get more out of it for himself. Causehe'sabitofaselfishass. But, then again, I could be wrong. All depends on what Ruso has to sayyy~

STOP WORRYING SO MUCH D:

Healthy for you or for Ruso? xD Cause I can see that being for both since you're so in sync with Ruso's emotions during the story. Thenagain,whoisn't...

:< I'mma have to wait to know any of this information... The valdyris are such a fascinating raceee. Nothing better than a well thought out imaginary race~ 8D

Okay, yeah, that's what I had thought but doubted myself when that picture showed up. xD Hmm, I'll have to keep that in mind and keep an eye out to see if I can pick up on what's different? Though I'll probably just over analyze like I usually do and be, you know, wrong. 8D

But so late!

I guess we could keep in mind that clothing can change! Though in the case of valdyris, generally it doesn't... not on their own, anyway. And I didn't mean literal dreaming! More like daydreaming. I love daydreaming. 8D

Hahah. Faros was defs a lot more out there than he was when you met him. ...He's probably kind of shallow, too, sometimes, or dense. lul. But he's still a good guy, possibly better than Phalom, who still has a tendency to put himself first.

lul well see... Ruso's trying to be selfish, though... I get the feeling that somewhere, he's just trying to screw Ixus over just to spite him. XD He doesn't take kindly to being played. One other thing that's been bugging me, though, is why Ixus would know Argrys, unless he was following Nyris/Ruso around since they first met, and/or decided to linger with the Blackguards during the brief time Nyris was in their territory. And even then, there was no connection between Argrys and Ruso at that time. And if Ixus had any interest then, it makes no sense that he'd wait ten years to do anything.

I'll try to write my stories on my bus rides~ I wrote down some backstory yesterday for Kharaja, Teslan, and Dasgran.

Oh man. When Ruso's angry, his anger does linger with me after I've stopped writing. xD Harsh, meng... It also affects my writing itself sometimes, though, so it can be a little concerning when it comes to being objective.

/o/ References! Maybe I should commission someone for one... but it seems kind of pointless if I can do it myself and he'd be in my style. .-.

I slept in two hours this morning, haha... A friend texted me and when I woke up to my alarm, the text confused me so much that I turned off my alarm instead of hitting snooze, then went back to sleep... only to wake up when someone asked me if I was going to work.

I probably have this subconscious goal to screw up my sleep schedule constantly. owo; CAUSE IT SURE SEEMS THAT WAY.

Yeah, I suppose it does seem a bit troubling to me sometimes when I see characters constantly wearing the same thing, with exception to those like Ruso who have reasoning behind his unchanging clothes. I just kind of sit there skeptically like 'When was the last time you washed your outfit? You probably smell like ass....' |D Oh, ohhh. Daydreaming, got ya, I see. Daydreaming takes up about 80% of my life now, it's sad. D: I could just sit there all day and daydream about things I think. x_x

8D I love flaws in characters! They just make the character much more relateable and realistic..../ramble. And hey, bad habits can be hard to break, and with previously being a thief and all it just might be a bit of a given. xD Is there a particular reason they travel together or is it just a partnership of sorts?

Yeah, I can see that. |D Ixuswouldnotbeahappycamper. Bluh, uh, yeah that's kind of been irking me too. >.> I think that was just bad planning on my behalf, honestly. Because he hasn't been following them for that long, I can tell you that. It could be that when he has a limited ability to see memories when the will of someone is low and was just screwing around in Nyris' head when he beat her to a pulp and caught glimpses of Ruso and Argrys so just took a chance jab at using Argrys' form when he was around Ruso since he knew that Ruso was sort of missing home so assumed he'd be missing someone from home too. Itwasactuallyjustterribleplanningugh. 8<

The waiting is going to kill me. I hope you know that. |D

; w; I really try to sleep early... but I get so caught up in stuff. And two nights ago, amg, I cannot even tell you how hard it was to make myself stop reading our RP and go the hell to sleep even though it was 5AM and it was getting pretty bright outside. XD

I try to draw my characters in different outfits sometimes~ It makes things interesting, but I do like to have something that is considered the "norm" so that people have something to reference. I think most artists would prefer a reference to coming up with their own clothing to suit someone else's character. Though yeah, super easy for valdyris to clean up their clothes. 8D Just changing forms generally burns off any dirt.

Heh. Faros and Phalom, I haven't thought too much about, but I imagine Faros probably helped Phalom out in a pinch (after causing some trouble with his thievery, perhaps). Their personalities don't clash much, and they work well together. By now they're probably good friends--and Phalom doesn't have anywhere to go, really. Flying solo all the time probably isn't all that fulfilling.

Ruso does like to aggravate, especially when the opponent is more powerful than him... it makes the thought of fighting something so overwhelming a lot more bearable. Might as well go down as a pest than prey. 8D Provocation, as far as he's concerned, is the best way to bring out the worst in people and give the opponent something to remember him by. Even if the memory makes them grind their teeth. XD And if I do recall correctly, Ruso didn't react at all to Ixus using Argrys' appearance.

Herps. 8D

I just get snappy sometimes. But Ruso's many predicaments make me curl up and wonder how any of it could be beared. @w@

Bahaha... that's why I work. GIMME MONIES TO SPEND. I need to do more writing and work on my characters/story, though, to make getting any commissions worth it.

Naw, is fine. I'm gonna use half a personal day to cover the time I slept in.
