Redirect to original
Description * Black Knight: while the black night is typically a human/normie I have it in this story arc that there is a curse on the bloodline from centuries ago. (will type the story out fully once her bio is up). Either way the curse prevents the family from settling in human societies. For Melania, she was invited to apply for monster high by aunty (on her mother's side - her father being of the black knight line) Headmistress Bloodgood. The offer was made to a) help out family by giving her a chance of a halfway normal life and b) as a first step towards integrating normie and monster civilizations.

Melania's story(s) are something I plan to write and submit at a later date. The main one being the legend of the black knight (the version I am using/adapting for her particular story arc) any others, probably just on request.

The base here is one that was updated and adapted by a while ago when they first appeared If you need a base like this one I am pretty sure there is one in the 'base gallery' section in group folder.

She sounds really interesting. I love the little things that show how much thought you put into her, like the fact that she hides that pink is her favorite color. Her favorite food was amazing, I don't mind that she doesn't have a favorite at all. I usually nitpick (atleast in my head) when characters refuse to have favorites but having actual decent reasoning for it is completely understandable.

I love how non wordy the bio is while it gets across a lot of things about her but I do wish to know why she loves geography and hates mad science. Does she love geography because she feels trapped by her chair and she can learn more of the world that way? (Just a thought I had)

The only other real 'complaint' i could have is that I wish we had a frontal view of her so we could see her clothes. I be her style is amazing. That being said, we wouldn't have gotten such an awesome view of the chair so these things must always have compromises.

I look forward to reading her story and seeing what tweaks to the legend of the Black Knight you use. I think we all tweak things for own own convience for things like this. Myths are never really precise and there are usually so many variations anyway so I completely get it. (I know i've done stuff like that for my own characters...)

Just a random thought in my ramblings (sorry I go on forever, I try to get it all down before I forget it) her name is really pretty. However did you think of it? I hope she has a few unforgettable years at Monster High!

Black-Ice-Gryphon In reply to kuroikitsu [2011-11-09 10:07:20 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much m'dear ^_^ I do appreciate it, very much so. I understand the nitpicking 8D and the arguments within your own head over points that you'd like the character to have but they blatantly refuse to be associated with (like a favorite activity you think would be really awesome but the character denies it whole heartedly DX )

She isn't much of a talker (though not as quiet as Abbey is and for different reasons). She enjoys Geography because since she was a child she has traveled with her father. They have been many places for fun, contests and her father's studies and she loves it. She enjoys Geography because she likes to hear/read about other lands and places she has either been or would like to go to, though granted being in a chair makes travel over rough terrain much more difficult.

She hates mad science just because of a preference on my part actually - her family is from an age of traditional methods of hard work (so farming by hand etc) and magic. Science wasn't really a done thing back then (hence the dark age heh). It is something her family just sticks its noes at (even though they are probably wrong to do so)

A couple of people have ask for a full view of he for her outfit so you are not alone in that hun. I plan to post an image of her on her crutches so that she can be seen a little better.

Myths are fun to play with and it one of my favorite hobbies to twist them into new tales I am glad I am not the only one

Her name I used a name site to find (That there is my greatest weakness - naming things heh ) It means 'Dark' <- totally original

kuroikitsu In reply to Black-Ice-Gryphon [2011-11-09 13:46:20 +0000 UTC]

You aren't the only one with a naming things problem. My very first oc, even though I thought of her looks and personality and everything, My best friend thought of the name

I love the fact that her name has meaning. It really does seem to fit her. Shes not overly obsessed with the dark or darkness but I can totally see it as an element of her personality without it dominating her entirely. Too many people let just one thing dominate an oc and its nice to see a well rounded character.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that wants to see her fully, but if she'd never normally use crutches don't force it so that we can see her outfit. I dunno, for as much as I want to see it, I hate forcing characters to do things they'd never do otherwise usually. Then again this is just a drawing not something that changes her entire persona so I'm not sure if I can really be that picky about that.

The mad science thing totally makes sense, giving the time period in which her family was based and stuff. I have a character who loves and hates the same subject for different reasons, both of which I just came up with randomly, but it seems to work.

I also love her reasons for liking geography. I could totally see someone loving a subject for those reasons. She probably has random tour guide books of places she wants to go. Does she?

Her not being a talker is totally cool. Lots of characters aren't really social and we'd take away from the realism of the ocs if everyone was a social butterfly. She seems more like the shy not talker to me, but I could be wrong. Well, not that she's shy, but she's not fully certain what to say to people.

And yeah, characters just do whatever they want once they start to get developed. I was sooo mad when I found out who one of my character's had a crush on. I'm still mad. I don't don't really like them as a pairing but she likes that guy. What's the worse thing a character disagreed with you on? Mine is probably that crush thing lol.

Black-Ice-Gryphon In reply to kuroikitsu [2011-11-09 17:45:13 +0000 UTC]

Haha Maybe it's just harder to name something you've created because you are in the mindset to be too picky about it? Not sure. Either way I use this site if you ever find yourself in the need of it: [link]

I think she'd only use them to get into carriages or something (completely random example there, can't come up with a better one 8D ) but as you say, it would just be a pic of her stood still nothing story related just a reference sheet of sorts.

Oh? Which characters do you have by the way? ... scrub that I'll just go raid your gallery

Not so much shy (She's quite opinionated sometimes lol ) more.. 'if I have nothing worth saying I won't bother' kind of thing. um.. preferring to observe people/events than chatter aimlessly about them. She's likely to be more talkative in her journals without even realizing it. (d'no if that makes sense)

Hahaha, like a child that 'knows better than you' huh? 'Don't date him/her they're not good for you' 'Shuddup mum! You don't even know them!!!'

mmmmmm the worst thing a character has ever done to me.. I can't pick out a specific 'event' but I have a character called Thaine (he's from a personal storyline). And his key trait is that he has no emotion - not 'subdued emotion' 'no' emotion, instead he works off logic (I suppose a little bit like Vulcans from Star Trek). It gets difficult with him because I will or won't want him to do something (like 'not kill the village of women and children' ) but he will do it because it fulfills his objective (there's a magical core beneath the village he needs for a greater reason and needs them all out of the way or something stupid like that). Ends justify the means kind of guy. He's really screwed my storyline over a good few times but he adds a lot to it as well sooo.. complications can be good things too

kuroikitsu In reply to Black-Ice-Gryphon [2011-11-09 20:53:56 +0000 UTC]

Wow, I was totally thinging, 'like an extreme version of Spock' when you mentioned Vulcuans. Complications when it comes to logic is always something thats just absolutely entralling to look at. I have a character (non mh related) whose mostly logical though not completely. He was the loner type kid who see the logic in making friends with the other children but saw no point in excluding them either. Logic can defeat itself and it's always a bit of a puzzlement of what a logical person does in those situations.

I can get the 'if I have nothing to say why bother' logic. It saves a lot onf unnessary small talk that lots of people go through in daily life. It's a very practical philosophy to go through social life with that not everyone understands.

Journals are fun in the fact that people tend to be more honest with their private thoughts than they are when speaking although sometimes people don't tell their jounals everything either.

Yeah, here's the site I use when I want a name although it doesn't always have the name I'm looking for I like it all the same. [link]

Ignore how little there is in my gallery when you go raiding. I've actually been doing stuff with my characters and will have outfits and other things up eventually. Will even post the sketches I actually draw once I get some confidence in my art skills.

I think random reference picture would be a good excuse to design crutches to see if you would design the or not. Atleast that way, you won't have her needed them and you have no clue what they look like.

I'll admit though, that's half an excuse to say 'just do the reference'. pay me no mind lol.

Black-Ice-Gryphon In reply to kuroikitsu [2011-11-09 21:29:31 +0000 UTC]

Same wavelength win there then (Vulcuans)
Is your character from another fandom or a personal story of yours?
And yes, when logic contradicts he's a bit buggered really.. but then that's what his wife is for she just points in a direction and he totters off to rescue/brutalize/survey etc etc

I am not very good at small talk myself to be honest so that was a nice thing for me about this character. It will give her difficulties in school (given the social nature of teens) but, ih, it will just give an interesting angle when she gets thrown into a loud environment (like the dawn of the dance etc)

Never kept a journal myself, which is a bit odd in the sense that I love the idea of them. I'm just lazy I guess XD (and used to live with two younger brothers, enough said lol)

I've never seen that site before but it is nicely laid out. I'll be sure to give it a try thanks ^.^

I've seen a trilby >:3 (gallery)

Oh I have already designed her crutches - they are attached to the back of her chair. They are lances.

Reference sheet is already underway (I made Hiri scan the picture)

kuroikitsu In reply to Black-Ice-Gryphon [2011-11-09 23:26:13 +0000 UTC]

That character he's for an original story. He has an... interesting history and he contridicts himself constantly. In logical ways of course. When he comes at a crossroads he can't get out of, he'll go with that rare gut feeling, but only then.

I suck at small talk until I know people in real life. Once I know someone, I can ramble their ears off. I just suck at the 'hi my name is' until the friendship part, so I totally get it.

Suuki's social and I have no idea how to handle that. I'll figure it out

For Melania I think it all depends on her approach to the situation whether she decides to try to talk to people or not....

Journals are great in times of stress. For everyday use I'm horrible at it. Its also great when you look back in five years and go that was what I was so upset about??

I'm sooo glad you like Nosfa's trilby! She used to have that and shades but then you can't see any of her so the shades had to go. Maybe I'll put them with her gloom beach. Maybe...

Having the crutches be lances is really cool. I would have never thought of that! I can't wait to see that reference sheet, I bet it will come out really cute.

kuroikitsu In reply to kuroikitsu [2011-11-10 21:15:35 +0000 UTC]

It's a great excuse and I'm sure the lance will go over really well!

Yeah, I do get the chance to reread what my characters are saying and make sure the verbal vomit isn't too terribly bad.

I think its good that shes a listener. If everyone talked and no one listened... ugh, we have too much of that going on in real life. It's nice seeing someone who listens. She'd be good at giving advice since she gets the chance to hear things and think about them.

That's a really cool idea. I usually write poetry that's the opposite of what I'm feeling. I write the most depressing stuff when i'm happy for some reason.

Black-Ice-Gryphon In reply to kuroikitsu [2011-11-10 00:07:56 +0000 UTC]

He sounds interesting

I think the upshot with having ocs that are social is that you at least get to sit down and re-read what you have written for them before you commit to them saying it haha

By the looks of her friends list it seems like the way she will be going is that her friends do all the talking and she's there to lend an ear. I'll see how it goes, I am sure time will tell.

I guess in that sense stories are my journal format. I just translate whatever is bothering/interesting me into a fictional setting and use it. It's like an encrypted journal! O.O

I love trilby's (I have 3 - not obsessed) I love the gangster/Buugsy Malone look :3 Beachwear could be interesting with them

I just wanted an excuse for her to have a lance to be honest hahahaha XD

If she needs help researching methods for breaking her curse she can avail herself of the Chassagne family's vast library of arcane knowledge. Chassagne maror is wheelchair acessable
because Professor Chassagne, Ellery's grandfather, is friends with Dr.Vittorio Verde,an Infernal
Order of Scientists member who is in a wheelchair like her.

(going to respond to everything in one post hun lol, don't worry about it. No need to apologize as I can see you have good intentions - maybe just a more enthusiastic than people I am used to speaking with (I'm quiet and boring by nature, I'm happy with that haha )

If it takes me a while to respond please don't think you are being ignored - it is more likely that either work or timezones are at fault.

I didn't know Bedknobs and Broomsticks was based on a book Cool (Learn't something new today )

I am not sure if 'she' is actively looking for cures to the curse (I say this not because she doesn't care but because she is currently concentrating more on her normal studies and being a teenager) - though I am certain that she would thank them and pass the invitation on to her father, whom is likely to take the offer up quickly.

I wouldn't worry about it, I don't think the same rules apply to the subject when the person in question is fictional (though I can understand - many people get very touchy these days )

She was out riding (about age 12) with her father and aunt. Her horse was startled and she fell off of it and down a gully damaging her lower spine. She can walk very short distances using the lances/crutches though.
