Aww <3 A few of my most wonderful characters came from the last time you did this ^^ I'm excited to enter again!
I'm going to enter for two of them, but they would be part of the same world and story, so if you don't mind I'm going to write for them together. If I'm not able to get both, I understand! (If I had to pick only one, I would say the one I called "Ouska". But I love both and I really think they'd bounce off of eachother well in the story )
The story, ELD, takes place in relatively modern times. It's centered around a Virtual Reality styled MMORPG called "Everlasting Dream" (ELD for short). So far the story consists of six characters who are all part of a guild. One of the six is the founder's daughter, who is completely paralyzed, but able to socialize and "live" through the game. (Which was his motivation for making it in the first place). Anyway, the six of them have gotten really good at running events and dungeons and fighting together, until a relatively new duo starts to pop up and challenge them:
Character: https://toyhou.se/1668754.sales-hub/gallery#5973395
Name: Ouska
Class: Versatile... Tank, DPS, etc
Character: https://toyhou.se/642895.horobi
Name: Jian (Ji-chan)
Class: Healer
Ouska likes to play the "jack of all trades" character, and she's pretty good in almost all the roles. She is ☁ Fauna 's worst enemy when it comes to collecting rare items, because the two of them are obsessed and always gloating to eachother over their finds. (all in good fun, of course..... well, mostly...) Ouska likes to try out new roles all the time, and challenge herself to see if she can poke at a boss until she wins even though she doesn't do a lot of damage. Jian has gotten REALLY GOOD at healing her. When Ouska just wants to go in and kick ass and get the goods, though, she plays a tank and just destroys everything. Jian likes this better because she can just follow along behind and heal whatever other people end up in their PUG (pick-up-group.. like a random group of other players that join to make a full team) Ouska also likes to flirt with ☁ Lily , trying to get her to leave fauna's guild and join hers.
In real life, Ouska works for a record label. She mostly does the behind-the-scenes paperwork type stuff, but she really likes her job because she feels like she's helping no-name musicians make their dreams come true. She looks a bit similar to her online persona, if you took away the ears and tail and outfit and swapped it for business attire. Her hair is almost the same, but a little more brown.
Jian is, of course, the healer. She started off the game with no idea what she was doing, and met up with Ouska through a PUG raid. She wasn't quite sure of herself, so Ouska kind of taught her how to heal, and before long she became really good at healing.. but mostly just Ouska. (since she likes to get into trouble and almost die a dozen times per boss). They decided to stick together and, despite not having a lot in common as people, work together really well in game. Jian is deeply in debt to another player for her wings (extremely expensive item that she made a deal for) so whenever she makes any gold she's always sending it over to him. It makes her feel nervous, but she loves her wings.
In real life, Jian is rather sick, and isn't able to work or leave the house much. She is twenty, but still lives with her mother because she needs a caretaker for daily routines. They're still in the process of figuring out all of her issues, but she definitely has chronic fatigue and general weakness. This is part of the reason she plays a healer- it makes her feel stronger. If she ever recovers enough she wants to go to med school, but that's not really an option at the current time.

I am currently working on a small "practice" comic called Wisteria. Once that's finished I'm going to do a slightly longer one called Melanie the Witch. And when that's done and I'm more comfortable with comic format and consistent page publishing, I plan on finally jumping into ELD as a comic, which has been a project in the back of my mind for ... probably five years now owo yikes. Assuming all goes well, I'm also going to run a small roleplay group on deviantart based on the world of ELD. So that's what these two would be doing :3 Also, sorry for the lack of profile info on the characters I linked. If you have any questions I can answer for sure- I'm just switching over to a new layout so I deleted everything and blah -_- Lily and Fauna are two of my faves though <3 They're so much fun to write, and it would be so fun to have a nemesis for Fauna to get all huffy puffy about xD
Alright I'm goin, thanks for the opportunity!!
