Write out the names of your characters and explain
1) how you thought of their name
2) what made you create the character in the first place
3) how the character has changed over time (if they have changed)
4) any random fun fact about that character

A.) Nohlan: I got his name somewhere from tv I think. I just remembered thinking about how nice that name sounds and how much of a shame no one hardly has it. His original name was Jax but changed it due to the fact that it seemed oddly stupid to me and I wanted a more mature name, I guess.
I created him in my first drawing ever with my mom. We were dropping things off and she told me to stay in the car so I started doodling my first true drawing. I came up with a picture of this little boy and girl smiling and a fairy.

He's changed so much and the most out of all my other characters. He first had green hair with a red and blue eye. Next, I changed his hair to being silver but being dyed blond or other colors. After that, I changed his hair to being black but found it too annoying to fill in with a pencil, so i changed it to a light brown. I think it suits him better since I always made him more secluded than my other characters in the story.

Well, a fact about Nohlan is that his eyes changes based on his mood, but I usually tell people that. I think another unknown fact about him is that he picked out all the stone jewlry for his group based on their personalities. It's a bit silly and I will most likely never make it known, but I think it's neat.

B.) Cailin: I got her name from an Unwritten Law song. I thought it was such a pretty name, so I decided to create a character for it along with Nohlan. Again, same story as above with how i created her in the first place.

She only went through three changes since I first made her. Initially, I made it so that she would wear a school girl's outfit and have long purple hair. Again, I noticed how stupid it was, so I changed her again years later into having long brown hair instead with a purple outfit. Lastly, I updated her into a much cooler character that was attractive rather than a tomboyish one. She wears make up and has a 1950s hair style that I think suits her personality the best. She also has an awesome grenade launcher/Sniping gun in the form of a Japanese guitar. She also wears tiny little glasses in the form of what John Lennon used to wear.

A little known fact about Cailin is that she has a big sweet tooth for chocolates and is only into organic products. She's also vegeterian.

C.) Surge: I got his name by trying to tell myself that I needed to have a quirky name in my series. Surge isn't his real name, of course.. his real name is actually Nathaniel, but there's no fun in that name! I created him mostly because i was telling myself that I needed another member for the group. All the ones I invented always seemed too wrong so I just played around one day in my sketches and made a character I sorta liked. I then named him Surge and made his hair look nuts, just like his nature.

He only went one real change and that was to fix his spikes. I made them much shorter and realistic rather than his original 5 thick spikes. I also added a small bit of facial hair and changed his cut eyebrows to being thicker and more masculine. I wanted to make him the core macho of the group, so I made him to look somewhat buff and lean. I love how he looks now, and he's turning out to be one of my favourite characters.

A little unknown fact about Surge is that I made him gay unofficially for jokes. My friend was amazed as to how I don't have any gay characters in my stories, so I told her I would. The thing is, Surge isn't gay for just anyone, he's in love with Nohlan... and Nohlan doesn't want ANY of it. That and he has a thing for collecting adorable things with him (this is stated rarely in the main story).

D.) Damon: His name went under three different changes in the story as well as his role in the group. He was Miroku, Shizue, and Damien. I created him mainly because I felt that the story of just 2 kids was boring, so I changed it to having a group of 3 people... but somehow, this group remained just with 3 people instead of me adding another female in the story.

I first created him from someone I saw on deviantart, I thought it would be good to steal the character and take it in as my own, but was caught. I slowly changed it to the character it is today. I got Miroku from Inu Yasha, Shizue from Deviantart, and Damien from the bible. Damon came from Damon Albarn from Blur and Gorillaz. He was also just a traveling person in the begining of the story and slowly became Nohlan's twin brother in the story. I also changed the fact that they were identical twins and just made it so that Damon is the older of the two.

A little fact about him is that he loves soup a lot.

E.) Dainton: I had a friend with this name and fell in love with it. I then told him that i was creating a character with his name.

Still underdevelopment so there's not much to say. I want to make him the elder of the group and he makes weapons for the two brothers. He had long white hair and elf ears but found it so tacky, that I decided against it. I then gave him my new haircut and realized that it looks like Ishida from Bleach! >_< I still need to fix his hair but it'll take sometime.

A little fact is that he has a thing for soap operas when they come on. Good times!
