I am here and ready to throw my characters in the ring! I am really excited to see everyone's entries!

Character Choices.
Character Name: Endymion Reese
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: https://www.rprepository.com/character-site/1436795
Species: Demon Prince
Gender expression: Male
Personality: Kind of a jerk but mostly because he is not mature yet. Young know it all but a fantastic big brother.
Brief physical description of the character: Endymion is a tall and slim young man whose body is kept in peak physical shape. He has unusual honey-gold eyes, swarthy caramel skin, soft black hair, and a clear complexion. Typically found in loose tees and a jacket. There is a black snake tattoo on his left arm that goes along his arm and onto his back shoulder blade. He tends to dress very casually.
Suggested environments (if the artist feels like adding a background) Anywhere you wouldn't typically find royalty because he does his best to be anywhere his father wouldn't be.
Anything else we need to know: Nope

If you've listed more than one character, is it okay for your
characters to be drawn together if the artist wants (yes or no)
If you really wanted to go ahead. Kiah and Endy could eventually be friends.


Character Name: Kiah Thomas
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: https://www.rprepository.com/character-site/1468052
Species: Human
Gender expression: Female
Personality: Take-no-prisoners, No shits to give, confrontational, and holds nothing back.
Brief physical description of the character: Kiah has fairly sharp features and freckled skin. Her eyes are a lively green color with her hair cropped short. Kiah is fairly tall and thin. Despite her thin stature, she is strong in spirit. Staring down her adversaries.[/b]
Suggested environments (if the artist feels like adding a background)Her office or surrounded with papers. Anything kinda Sherlock Holmes would work too.
Anything else we need to know:

If you've listed more than one character, is it okay for your
characters to be drawn together if the artist wants (yes or no)
As long as you do it like friends. They are not a couple in any way shape or form.

Character Name: Malchar
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Link to his page
Species: Tiefling
Gender expression: Male
Personality: Social recluse but he loves plants and communicates with them through magical means, he is wary of others and it can typically take a while for him to warm up to a person, however when he does feel comfortable with a person he is affectionate and thoughtful and just generally appreciates having a strong bond with a friend
Brief physical description of the character: He has purple skin with some black swirls that begin on his chest and branch out onto his arms and up onto his neck and cheeks (sort of has a similar look to scar tissue), he has two horns coming out of his forehead, but his right horn is broken so it’s considerably shorter than the other one. He has a long scar across his nose, and another scar through the middle of his lips that runs down to his chin. His hair is black, and is super messy and cut unevenly because he cuts it himself with hedgeclippers, and his eyes are pitch black with little yellow pupils that glow in the dark. He also has two little fangs that stick out from his lower lip.
Suggested environments (if the artist feels like adding a background) Honestly anything pertaining to nature, vines, greenery, flowers, etc.
Anything else we need to know: He’s a nature domain cleric, so he uses lots of plant magic. :)
Character Name: Adalia Romanova
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: https://www.rprepository.com/character-site/1476370
Species: Enhanced human species
Gender expression: Demigirl (she/they), usually presents more neutral (in between genders)
Personality: Cold at first, loves to use sarcasm when she can, protective of those they love (though is quite distant in fear of hurting them)
Brief physical description of the character: Average build, slight muscular physique, usually wearing a bandana up to their nose hiding scars on lower half of face, most likely found in black clothing (usually alternative fashion)
Suggested environments (if the artist feels like adding a background): Maybe a dark night, I give full permission for creative liberty here.
Anything else we need to know: Adalia communicates by using sign language, so any incorporation of that would be very cool in my opinion if chosen to be included.
Very excited!

Here are my offerings:

Character Name:
Gretta
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: HERE
Species: cow-satyr
Gender expression: cisgender female.

Character Name:
Larkin

Personality: Kind, shy, introverted, animal lover.
Brief physical description of the character: Feminine, lithe, flat chested. Several inches tall. Orange-red hair, green eyes, tan freckled skin. Soft features. Green leaf-like wings.
Suggested environments: cottage-core stuff, nature in general.
Anything else we need to know: He has a blood thirsty horror-like secondary appearance.
First time doing this but wanting to challenge myself more than anything. So I'll dive in head first, no time to look. I'll do a character who I rarely illustrate so that there is more fun for the artist to use their creative eyes. :star:

Character Name: William Blackwood
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials:
Species: Human Sorcerer
Gender expression: Male
Personality: Strict, strong-willed, spiritual and determined He is someone who is led by his own will and religion
Brief physical description of the character: Peach fair skin on an inverted triangular body for a 5'9 male has never looked more cold and distant. White hair with black stands and strips. Black soulless eyes. Dressed in a Dark Academia-inspired outfit of a black polo shirt, navy blue pea long pea coat, and black trousers with combat boots. He has a tree necklace and two black rings on both his index.
Suggested environments (if the artist feels like adding a background) Graveyard or a moody blue, grey and silver backdrop
Anything else we need to know:
Anyone who doesn't like religious themes, you don't have to go within any of that aspects and just illustrate as you, please. Don't let yourself be influenced heavily by that. Other than that, William is a neat character who cares not of others who are not deceased and has information for him.

If you've listed more than one character, is it okay for your
characters to be drawn together if the artist wants (yes or no)
Yes!
Cutting this one reaaaal close. 😳 Throwing in a few characters that actually have more updated refs. I'm fine with headshots if the artist doesn't feel like doing a bust. I'm not picky at all, I'm just happy to get character art.

Small Note: All of my OC's can be drawn in a variety of outfits, so long as they adhere to their respective aesthetics- although there is some leeway with a few. All character pages are a perpetual work in progress, so they might not have all the answers you need. Artistic freedom is welcomed if you can't find what you are looking for; let me see what that little brain of yours can do.

Humanoids

Xail
Character Name: Xailah Alptraum
Link to Character's RPR profile or other reference materials: Goth Eldritch Catghoulfriend
Species: Cryptid, Eldritch Entity.
Gender expression: Female.
Personality: Highly unpredictable, Refined, Free-spirited, Imposing, Beguiling, Secretive, Shrewd, Curious, Creative, Patient. She is someone who lives fast and freely.
Brief physical description of the character:

Hair: Long, with bangs. Hair falls past her hips. It is a very dark brown in color. Texture falls mostly straight, but curls slightly upward at the ends.
Complexion: Pale like moonstone and alabaster. Has cool, rosy undertones. Ethereal.
Eyes: Gold. Pupils are slotted like a cats. Irises are slightly large. Has long lashes, and what one might call "bedroom eyes".
Build: Very feminine. Slender with long limbs, and a hourglass-shaped body.
Misc: Incisors are fanged. Ears are slightly pointed, though her hair usually covers them.
Scars/Markings: Moon-shaped birthmark on her back, and a starburst (no, not the candy) shaped scar on her left shoulder. Ears are pierced.
Aesthetic: Steampunk, Victorian Gothic. Dark cabaret/burlesque. Centers around delicate but powerful imagery. Pinterest.
Wardrobe: Metal and lace, delicate and imposing. Whimsical. Lady Mechanika is a great idea as to what her attire kind of leans to. When she is adventuring, that is. She may be found in more flowy garments. Typically always wears gloves and some sort of necktie/choker. Most worn colors are: Black, grey, white, purple and gold. Wardrobe board.

Suggested environments (if the artist feels like adding a background): Dark, whimsical places. Delicate machinery. Cold manors. Circus and burlesque settings. Nighttime scenes are always welcome. Settings implicative of eldritch horrors.
Anything else we need to know: Xail has a bestial and lesser form, the former resembling a large panther-like feline and the latter looks like a small house cat. Both forms have dark brown fur and gold eyes, and are typically quadrupedal. Her bestial leans more towards the eldritch side of things. You are more than welcome to try your hand at these if you're not wanting to draw a humanoid.


Gigi

Brief physical description of the character:

Face Claim/Reference: Marilyn Monroe.
Hair: 1950's Monroe Pageboy. Purple. Permanently sculpted (it isn't "hair" it's more like the hair sculped onto action figures, so there are no individual or discernable strands).
Complexion: Pearlescent white. Unblemished. Has blue lights that trace along her face and body.
Eyes: Vibrant blue all over, and often lidded.
Build: Statuesque, hourglass. Curvy, with long legs.

Aesthetic: Romanticized 1950's Hollywood. 50's retro Sci-fi. Nostalgic, delusional, deceptive. Manic and melancholy. Her Pinterest isn't public yet, sorry. 😔
Wardrobe: Doesn't necessarily have a wardrobe. Her body resembles a cherry red "leotard" (best way to describe it) with a deep v-neck and a tall collar.

Anything else we need to know: N/A.

Build: Lanky and boyish with long arms and legs. Kinda scrawny. Some curves.

Aesthetic: 80's/90's Punk Goth, and Grunge, with some dark y2k elements. Chaotic and visually loud. Has a lot of Satanic Panic elements. Purposefully edgy. Pinterest.
Wardrobe: See above. Tank Girl is a good reference for the cluttered, provocative style she leans toward. Wears a lot of black and red, but may be found in hot pinks and animal prints. Wardrobe board.

Suggested environments (if the artist feels like adding a background): Dark, whimsical places. Edgy nightlife.
Anything else we need to know: N/A.



Anthros/Animals/Abominations

Anything else we need to know: Character can be drawn with or without clothes, as well as bipedal or quadrupedal.



I am okay with some of my characters being drawn together. If you choose to draw my characters together note that their pairings are strictly platonic. No ship art please! Characters that can be drawn together:

-Schro+Xail
-Schro+Xail+Martyr
-Xail+Martyr
Martyr can be drawn with her "pet" racoon (he's just a ratty-looking feral thing she yoinked out of a dumpster).
