Allyne’s eyes are…strange to me. Marjoine looks alright I guess. ---

@P0RT3R Ha, really? Well, Marjoine is supposed to look kinda sad, because of…well, reasons I can’t quite reveal! @RagEgnite Hm. In all honesty, I’ll probably end up re-doing all the pictures once I’ve finished what I basically want them to look like. I can only think of a couple reasons why you’d think that…one being that it’s anime and I’ve only been drawing anime for about a year, two being that I (for some reason) usually draw people on a sort of angle. And I guess I maybe might just draw weird? That’s always a possibility, too 😃 Anyway, I’ll have some more bios and two more pictures up a little later, since it’s dinner time where I’m at. But yeah, that’s pretty much it for now… Kinda disappointed that I’ve barely made any progress thus far ☹ Oh well. That’s life, I guess. ---

@trollhunterthethird That’s so cool! It’s definitely something I’d imagine Allyne wearing, too. I never thought I’d ever see fanart of something I created… And I love how you included the little pouches, too. Allyne does love her poison, as much as it may disturb her siblings 😉 ---

(I actually got an account on here specifically so I could comment on this! :-bd ) This looks \*very\* interesting thus far, and rather unique to boot. I love that you’re going for \*six\* romances, however whole and/or important they end up being, and I can’t help but wonder if having that many means that you might be able to consider making them of different “orientations” in relation to the “Sab”. (Perhaps making it what I personally call a “‘sexuality’ six-fer”.) I’m also wondering, come to think of it, what age range these romance options are meant to be in, considering that you call them “children”. Whatever the case: (\*) !! ---

@RagEgnite She seemed too innocent without it… @LOR I am doing Marjoine sketches today! And if you give me some physical descriptions of the males I might be able to do some sketches tonight. ---

@Shenrai Wow, thanks! About the ROs, none of them have a specific age, but the youngests would probably be somewhere around 16-17 while the eldests would be somewhere around 19-21, if that helps. So Marjoine and Sorro would be about 18. I only call them that because they’re technically the “Valence children”, being that their parents are still alive and they’re their parents’ children. But anyway, I’m both happy and relieved that people seem to like this strange little idea of mine 🙂 @trollhunterthethird That’s great! Now I’m excited. Well this is mostly how I imagine the characters: Vessan with gold-orange hair and light blue eyes, with a slightly tanned skin tone. Sorro with dark red hair and light, bright green eyes and a pals skin tone. And Marjoine would have pale green-blue hair and two different colored eyes–one dark blue-green and the other bright gold. She has an even skin tone. I hope that helps! ---

@LOR: Good to know. (Though hopefully, whatever age the PC turns out to be, the “age of consent” implications won’t be an issue if they end up with someone either above or below their “age of consent”. That all depends, obviously, so I doubt it’ll be seen as an issue.) Anyway, back to my original point: are all of the ROs only going to be romance-able by a “Sab” of the opposite gender, or are you going to allow other possibilities as well? (Romanceable by both genders, exclusively the same gender, etc.) Forgive me, but I have to admit to having kind of a vested interest in that aspect.O:) ---

@Shenrai Ah, I see. Well, I’ll probably make all of the characters open to any sort of romance with the MC, regardless of gender, etc. As long as MC makes the right choices, of course. There might be maybe one character who’s exclusively for one gender, but I’m still debating about that character (I was thinking of a specific character, actually). And yes, MC’s age won’t be a problem 😉 ---

I still think Marjoine looks really nice, @trollhunterthethird. I don’t have a tablet or anything like that so I can’t really color my art. And I can’t color for my life just in general… Okay, so I should probably get this out of the way and just post the bios of the last two ROs! Derrin: Derrin is our defensive and somewhat childish (due to how anger-prone he is) recluse. He always tries his very best not to be around his family, unless he has to. He doesn’t seem to have a familial sense, and while he isn’t outrightly mean to his family, he still isn’t very friendly around them, either. Only certain things set him off, but once he’s in a rage, there’s no stopping him. In which case, the Valences have learned to simply leave him to cool down because anything anyone says to him at that point will only make things worse. Defiant, oppositional, and stubborn but he’s inuitive, protective, and considerate as well, in his own way. How can one person seem so drastically bipolar? Raven: Raven is the most outgoing of everyone. She’s energetic and clever, but is always teasing everyone at the same time. She also has a pet raven, who, unlike the other birds, seems domesticated enough. The bird is practically always found perched on Raven’s shoulder. Raven herself actually has a low view on people who are quick to judge and quick to define, but this is almost ironic, being as it’s very easy for one to quickly judge someone like her, though not always negatively. Somehow, this girl always seems to find a way to lighten the mood and has a bit of a knack for reasurring others. Here’s a picture of Raven (though, without her pet raven ☹ ): [![](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ku5nrimqbdwr805/Raven%20Valence.jpg) ](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ku5nrimqbdwr805/Raven%20Valence.jpg) Yep. So now I’ll be working on drawings for the guys. Then I’ll put up bios for the other three Valences (and pictures too but they’re a lot easier to draw so it’s all good). Oh, and Raven has dark brown hair and the first two pieces of her hair by her face are streaked red. Her eyes are red-brown and she has an even, slightly (veeerrryyyy slightly) tanned complexion. ---

She looks innocent to her very core. 😛 (Though I can’t tell if she’s wearing lipstick or if her mouth is slightly open…) ---

@RagEgnite Her mouth is just slightly open, sort of like in a half smile. And, well, she is the youngest RO, and would technically be the second youngest Valence, but the youngest Valence is only about 8 or 10… I pretty much put all of them in age order: Vessan, Allyne, Sorro, Marjoine, Derrin, then Raven. 😛 So, yes, I suppose it would make sense for her to look innocent. ---
