Rocky is pale and racially white. He‘s 14 in Titanic Voyage, 15 in Immigrants’ Journey. Tousled brown hair, light blue eyes, acne, heavyset, short…he’s the whole package! 😎 I’m sure Rocky has some scar somewhere from misbehaving, but not sure where.

Rocky's family probably has enough money for a hundred lifetimes. It's inherited or earned from investments/business. Some is placed into questionable projects (see Historytown, a history themepark in Eloy, Arizona). Liam speculates that Rocky's allowance is more than Liam's salary. #NovFamber

#NovFamber Ash from #TimeShift looks like my friends character in a game! But human. She's British, 40 years old, average height, dark hair with blue highlights in a bob. Has scars (which she describes), and is a chronic #overthinker , Ace, and very likely neurodivergent.

Yay! Meet Alistair Seymour Rochester IV! Liam says, "He goes by Rocky. I would, too."
I was honestly trying to write an ostentatious rich person name I could think of, but apparently Alistair is a fairly beloved name; oops. "Rocky" still suits a bratty teenage computer genius better. #NovFamber

#NovFamber 2: These first four days are warmup questions. The goal is to work backwards from what you already know about your character to see what you can infer about their past.
Picked a new character you know nothing about? It's not too late to switch!

Looking forward to NovFamber! I honestly hoped some people would do even-numbered-day prompts someday to fill out the month (also I may or may not be lazy).

Pyra is 15, has wild red curls and a pale freckled face, does not care about make-up, will rarely wear jewels and can be seen as often in old pants as in a colourful flowery dress, it depends on the moment and how she feels.
(She has no concept of beauty as status, just as fun)

Okikura Ayumi 沖倉亜由美
Born in the mountains north of Himeji 姫路市 Japanese.
The name's origin is meta; I wanted a name similar to Okiku, a character from a famous Japanese ghost story. In-universe, they were born into Okikura family and given the name Ayumi.

Pyra Yannas is 15, and lives in a Ghost Town, an 'outlaw community' that used to be all-female until 25 years ago. Her last name is a mothername, after her mother Yanna. She was already intense before being born, and was born with red hair, so a fiery name was fitting even then...
