Yet another profile template yay *slapped*

Yep. Coz I change my mind like that.

- So err, there wasn't enough/much room on the old Bio thingy I posted here X'D at least this way I can type as much or little as I need ouo
And you get a background story or their life!! 8D (instead of a 'random facts' section which could just go on forever lol).

- And yeah, I know it looks plain as sh!t, but meh, I find myself wasting faaaaar too much time just figuring out a suitable/cool looking layout OTL so screw that crap, SIMPLE IS AWESOME!!!)

- I has a few done ouo and some half done. When I'm very satisfied with the info on each I will post to dA~*~*~*~
(but will most likely disable comments coz I don't give a crap what people think of my precious babies 8D good or bad mofos *hugs all my mind childs* <33333)

Endless rambling of doom 8D

So err, I've been thinking... I seem to spend more time coloring than anything else. Shading is the most time-consuming and annoying part lol. And when I consider the cartoons I like none of them really have shading... Simpsons, American Dada and such. Then again Anime does (I used to watch toooo much Pokemon) so yeah, going off track XD

Point is I'd rather spend more time on actual design, detail and lineart rather than coloring >.< as awesome as other people's coloring looks, I'd rather have a super simple (lazy) style... even considering having an alternate 'smaller' style for comics and perhaps animations. Ya know, when I find enough time and motivation to do such lol.

I need to think realistically as well as ideally I guess... when I imagine movement and scenes of my characters it all moves/looks very realistic... EH might as well be a live action thingy, fffffff. I vaguely imagine angles and BGs etc. but not a million years can draw them >.<'

So err, I'm rambling again 8D... basically I should be experimenting and doodling instead of being online typing about it all, asdfghjkl.

But, in all honesty, I'm just not very motivated recently D; I wanna focus on my actual life, even though my dream many years ago WAS to create a novel/comic/TV series -________-' god I was delusional lololol~

So yeah, gotta be more realistic. Now I'm aiming to make comics. God knows when and God better know how X'D in the mean time; gotta practice and find a suitable art style, work on settings, actual plot lines maybe (Glee is inspiring the F**k outta me recently, though the last thing I wanna do is COPY it OTL) even though there's some similarities...

All I know is EH started soooo small; it was basically just endless love stories about Jason and Sammi... someone smack the 13-year-old me with a hammer please???
Now... I feel like I have little story ideas oozing out of my ears every night and every morning lol. I jot soooo much down e3o and all I do is shove it in a folder to be found months later when I totally forgot about it and now have to find out how to introduce it or whatever X'D

EH (somehow) has become this ever expanding thingy that doesn't get boring, per say, just... overwhelming >.< example; one idea I had was to write a 'book' for each character I have, completely from their POV, since I'm quite good with diary style stories. But then I go back to the idea where only a few (even only ONE) character really matters, and that I should just stick to the mains... even though I have some fun side characters I really wanna develop lol.

Maybe I should cut the crap and just have Emerald High as the 'umbrella' title????????
Meaning I could have loads of stories and characters and stuff going on everywhere but have different title/subtitles for them? e.g. "EH: Welcome to life" is actually the subtitle for Season 4.

Though, after all the pointless over-thinking I tend to do, lolol, my problem remains; I can't seem to finish ANYTHING *headdesk* OTL

I start a story every damn week but it only ends up going no where and making no sense >8U I just find thinking up and starting things is fuuuuuun, then I just get bored/can't be bothered/can't find time... I swear there's something wrong with my brain lol -u-' or my schedule, either way 8D

Yeah. So if you've read this; thanks for wasting your time, I love you so much!!! 8''D *slapped*

Natter natter~

Nataliiiiiiiiiiiiiie >u< fast becoming a fav of mine~

A bit about her: 

- She has selective mutism and only uses her expressions/body lingo to communicate with people. Some find it annoying/weird, others find it cute/peaceful lol. She only talks to people she trusts or has known for a while. 

- She becomes Daisy's girlfriend later on in Season 2. Simply coz they're so different and Daisy's happy to stand up for her if she needs her to. Hell yus~
- She likes camping out and studying animals and playing tennis and badminton and stuff like that~

I dunno much else 8U still wondering about her life and stuff. One or both of her parents might be deaf, thus she became used to using sign language, but not everyone knows sign lingo D8 (like me, fff) so she had to find other ways to communicate...
Or maybe she just pretended to be deaf to avoid talking people... just, leaving my options open so far X'D

Mini bio template image~

BASICS
Name - Duh, their name. But their full/real name, which will also include their preferred name in "clauses".
Gender - Yep.
Age - Usually their season 2 age, since I dunno, I'm stuck in S2?? X'D
DOB - Date of birth. Wont include year. But EH is probably set in late nineties I guess.

Height - Yep.
Build - Yep. Will include features e.g. big bum. Ahuu~
Hair color - Yep.
Eye color - Yep.

Ethnicity - Their birth race e.g. Caucasian, may also include original heritage/descent e.g. French
Religion - Yep.
Orientation - Yep.

PERSONALITY
Usually - What they're usually/mostly like in a "normal" situation.
Can be - What they can be like in various other situations, or more personally.

RANDOM INFO
What it says on the tin; just random little facts about them, their lives and such.

INTRO
Was gonna be a "tell you stuff about them" section, but that's the random info lol. So it contains their Introduction story, how/when they appear and how they know the main-er cast etc. etc.

So yep, there's my Mini bio template!! 8D
Tried so many ways of making them before now, but I wanted to make a slightly unique one... I probably failed, but oh well, suits me fine so far X'D

The next level~

Just copied from the widget that was taking up too much space, lolol. 

There's a few 'levels' to Emerald High I should probably explain, since not many understand it's depth :B

Level 1: The funny crap
This level is simply for entertainment purposes and is just the surface of my work. Examples being my stupid, one page, comics and jokes. They're made for a cheap laugh and mainly portray my characters in humorous scenarios.

Level 2: The serious crap
This level digs a little deeper into their home lives, personal issues and relationships. Involving their lonely childhoods, inner demons, how they've coped losing loved ones and how they just cope with life lol. Examples being my scripts and short stories. They're a chance to relate to and understand my characters more in realistic scenarios.

Level 3: The production crap
Pretty much 'out of canon' as the cast are used exclusively for parodies of various movies, TV shows and songs. With the perfect excuse that they're doing it for drama class, ho yeah. This will also include any random stories I make up, as I include them in everything, haha.

Gem classes~

In a bid to narrow down the entire study body, I decided to divide them up a bit and focus on a group at a time. So each class will be named after a gemstone. Somewhat in order according to the monthly birthstones list on Wikipedia~

Freshman

- Pearl class
- Ruby Class
- Peridot Class

Sophomore

- Sapphire Class
- Opal Class
- Topaz Class

Junior

- Zircon Class
- Garnet Class
- Amethyst Class

Senior

- Emerald Class
- Diamond Class
- Aquarmarine Class

Random info

Boooooooobs. Well, covered boobs *slapped*

Little anatomy and body type practice 8U They're not wearing piercings, hair accessories or clothes here (duh) 8D

Amilia - I imagine her very thin 8P she doesn't eat much bless her, her diet consists of chocolate, crap school meals and dinners she just picks at then eats bits of -u- she's hopeless... her dad can't cook, so she was brought up on snacks mainly >.< but since her mom moved back in with them she's been trying to shove gross, greasy food down her daughter's throat. Like any loving mom would do 8D...

Krissie - Is based on my body. Eats whatever the hell she likes. The end 8D *slapped* her brother can cook, he's now a manager of a restaurant lol. But no matter how hard he works he loves cooking for her and him, nearly every evening. She rarely snacks but likes a few good, filling meals everyday. She loooves pasta 8U (like me).

Daisy - Has whopper HIPS *slapped* heh-hem. Is vegetarian, mainly coz her mom is, but also coz she likes animals and is heavily disgusted by the idea that people eat them D'8 she also eats impossible amounts of sweets/candy/sugary snacks -u-' she should be fat lol, but thanks to her veggie intake she has energy, of which she uses to run around all day annoying people and playing tennis. Woo.

Kexi - Not sure to be honest XD she chews a lot of gum? Thus that keeps her mouth busy and stops her eating as much... lol, either way, she's rather slim with a cute chest <33

..... How the HELL I started talking about food when I was meant to be talking about their bodies, I have no idea X''D somewhat related of course. Meh~

Oh the drama~

A very handy article: LINK~ about how to create and plan a Soap opera >u>

Never really had EH down as such lol, but there's enough drama, conflict and characters to make it fit into that category X'D 'cept it's funnier. Well, I WANT it to be funnier... some dramas bore the sh*t outta me, I gotta admit -u- so it will be a light hearted see-the-funny-side style soap opera, I imagine. Even though sh*t gets serious rather quickly 8U

1. OK, theme and tone; presumably melodramatic and lighthearted, yet serious when need be. Ugly Betty comes to mind, heh...

2. Setting; City of Punksdale, North Carizona (fictional state OTL) mainly set in high school, but also character's homes and local places of interest.

3. Core 'family'; Sammi, Jason, Krissie, Karl and Amilia... Daisy is becoming a support, to be honest *slapped so hard*

4. Bleeeeeeeh, it gets complicated from here X'D gonna have to work on it all more >.<

What can I say? I tried 'making' it a sitcom but it still has serious elements, of family issues and junk, so yeah, Soap opera/drama is more likely, and easier for me to do, somehow 8P

Sammi's family concepts~

Some quick sketches of Sammi's household: Kevin and Kyle Hudgens and his mom Akzeta (ack-zeh-tah) Clanes~

Some info: So the 'story' is that Akzeta met Kevin at a group meeting thing for people dealing with grief, mainly from losing a husband/wife. The only reason she goes at all is coz Sonia (Jason's mom) convinces her to. So Kevin and her met, got talking, fancied each other, blah. Realized they both had sons and stuff and felt they could help each other out and create a new life. Akzeta's still vulnerable and head-over-heels so within 6 months of meeting Kevin and Kyle they moved in with Akzeta and Sammi. Sammi wasn't keen on the idea, or Kevin for that matter, but soon developed a strong bond with Kevin's son Kyle. Sammi was 15 1/2 when all this occurred, and since then he's wanted and adored kids lol, thanks to Kyle.

Akzeta's just about getting back on track with her life and is studying law at University (again, quit coz family) and hopes to get a good job afterwards. In the mean time, Kevin works as an estate agent and provides for them all. Akzeta was somewhat struggling, emotionally and financially before Kevin moved in. Thus he decided to live with her and help out and stuff. Who knows for how long...

Sammi keeps his distance from Kevin, not fully caring nor trusting him. He's happy to see Kevin help his mom out, keep her company and care for her, but wonders what Kevin's really getting out of it... apart from affection in return. Lol, Sammi over thinks... or does he?? Mwhhahaha, heh-hem.

So yep, here's Sammi's somewhat WIP family c:

Getting my act together~

Yesterday marked the 6th year of the 'creation' for EH lol. And somehow, it made me wanna reflect and really sort myself, my stories and my cast out c:
So last week I started a database where I could fill out some info on every character I've ever used within my scripts; their role, what they look like etc. simply so I can reference and play around with things a bit.

Even minor, new characters like, I dunno, the school nurse lol, could come in useful at some point! But I'd easily forget her name and what she was like, THUS adding her to my database is VERY helpful 8D
Some characters I created years ago, I will admit, I rarely/never used them 8P I intend to 'add them in' gradually, through scripts. That way I can play around with their personality (before adding them to the cast), like I suggested >u>
So yep!! Feeling much more organized recently c:

I've also started (for the millionth time) new bios!! Only not your usual bios, bio CARDS! Cute little-ish cards with already drawn (from my artwork) headshots that include some info about them. Just the basics, but it's a start <3 and they'd look so awesome in my DA gallery ;u;... eventually OTL

Cast list so far consists of 70... that's mains, friends, classmates, parents, teachers, families, blah 8U which still isn't everyone... someone help meeeee!! *slapped*

Hehe, anyway. Not entirely sure where to start EH D8 I has loads of mini ideas for 'episodes/chapters' but no definite pilot >.<

Speaking of episodes, I actually PLANNED one last night *world explodes*. I started it a while ago but kinda gave up, but I really liked the idea so I dunno X'D tis good practice if anything.

Oh well. I'll get there one day!!! 8D I know I will!

Epic planniiiing~

So the idea of doing a timeline and cramming all my ideas into, presumably, 2 full school years took off earlier this week!

Why does that sound like a newsreel?... Anyway, what was stumping me was I had no idea where to start .3. one idea was to show each of my (kind of) main characters whole lives before they even met each other. It was going to be a chapter for each one (comic wise) and would have took too long and was generally not important and took away the idea of it even being titled/set in a High school 8U

So I started where I originally DID start lol; With Jason and Sammi starting EH. The others come into it later, a year later, to be exact... there's some timing issues I need to work out OTL but I guess they can become somewhat best friends within 3 months right? *shot* Ugh. Unless EH is a 8th-12th grade school yeah, I have no idea what to even call the 8the grade, pre-freshman? 8| blah. I'll figure something plausible out~

In the mean time just sorting out and cramming in every damn idea I've ever had 8D

Main girls~

Just some quick sketches of who I consider the main girls so far X'D some you may know or heard of... or not.

Grade 10 - Krissie, Kexi, Alicia and Cassandra
Grade 9 - Amilia, Daisy, Cleo and Harriette

Recently I feel like just ditching most my old characters :P mainly coz they have no use or are too similar to another one etc. I also feel each need a role and dominant characteristic, thus making them a valuable friend/team member. So yeah, dividing them up and narrowing them down, as simple as it sounds, it's tricky, haha OTL

So anyway! Little info on these ladies?
Krissie - The playful, daring one (golden blond hair, aqua green eyes, mid tan skin)
Amilia - The panicky, geeky one (light brown hair, dark green eyes, pale skin)
Daisy - The loud, cunning one (light blond hair, dark brown eyes, very pale skin)
Kexi - The relaxed, wise one (black hair/purple highlights, red eyes, pale-ish skin)
Alicia - The worrisome, motherly one (dark brown hair, dark red eyes, mid brown skin)
Cassandra - The flirty, outgoing one (red hair, grey eyes, mid tan skin)
Harriette - The moody, dominant one (dark ginger? hair, light green eyes, pale skin)
Cleo - The chatty, polite one (black hair, yellow eyes, very dark skin)

What's the stitch?~

I can't seem to upload pics here, asdfghjkl!! >.>

Well anyway. I can't even remember what I was Googling lol, but I came across some articles about 'Kim Possible' and I almost fell in love again, haha. I used to watch it every weekend <3 possibly the best cartoon ever, Disney just rules. The end.

Something that really made me think was the art style, soooo simple and clean. Not shaded coz it's animated and stuff, but I could definitely learn from it! So I'm trying some random styles, I'll probably use my usual style anyways lol. But I still love to mess around and try things out, if I don't like, I give up, so whoop!!

Another thing about the show I admire was it appeals to many audiences. Tweens and young adults, apparently. Haven't watched an episode in forever, but there was a good amount of dialogue, I think. Kids shows have come a loooong way since the 80's and 90's haha. Now they have a realistic, mature touch. Giving kids an understanding of things they probably didn't think they understood, thus kids are smarter now. I think so at least. Lol, another small example I read was that 'Princess and the frog' contained a funeral or something. Kids are exposed to all sorts of sh*t in real life, it's only fair they include such things in cartoons, especially family ones.
Back to the Kimness. She's a wondergirl lol. Who can apparently do anything and is also a super trained spy. So yeah. My point:

Realistic fantasy.

It's totally something I adore. And often wish I could do without getting over cliched and boring OTL but I wont go there with EH, it's too insane lol.

I'm not hugely active on DA nowadays, but I'm not drawing much lately, trying to get myself together and get more education.

'The depressing lives of happy teens' is still making me smirk. Hehe. It'd be a cool tag line for EH I think. And sums up my life quite well. Anyone else in my shoes would be depressed as f*ck. I just get on with it, and I'm fairly happy, I guess...

Revampage *slapped*

Haha, well, just messing around. But I'm starting to hate the current logo lol OTL too much green, uuuuuuugghh.
1. I dislike green, or I used to. I don't see it as a trademark color anymore.
2. Contemplated changing the title but I don't have the heart X''D nor any better ideas.

I want a title that sounds, for lack of a better word, 'general'. Since my work varies from funny to serious, bright to depressing XP so calling it "The depressing lives of happy teens", might just work X'D...
Besides, the chapters of the eventual comic will have varied titles, depending on the mood/situation of le chapter.
And you know me, bright, crazy and happy 8D but yeah, the story itself is anything but that 8''D


F*CK.

But I do like the idea of having a very cartoony looking logo/title X) to match my colorful cartoon style, of course~

Big 5 personality traits~

It occurred to me a whiiiile ago that a character is either one thing or another, e.g. quiet or loud, playful or serious. But THIS has really narrowed it down and made character developing much easier, WHOOP!! >u<

In case you don't wanna read it all, haha, these are the basics of it~
A character/person is either:

1. OPEN or CLOSED
2. ORGANIZED or DISORGANIZED
3. OUTGOING or INGOING
4. CARING or UNCARING
5. STRESSED or RELAXED

Cleverly (and obviously) these traits apply to literally everyone at varying degrees. Point is these are universal traits that simply ask, "Are you more THIS or THAT?"
EASY!

And to prove it:
Jason - Open, disorganized, outgoing, uncaring, relaxed.
Sammi - Closed, organized, outgoing, caring, relaxed.
Karl - Open, organized, ingoing, uncaring, stressed.
Amilia - Open, disorganized, ingoing, caring, stressed.
Krissie - Closed, disorganized, outgoing, caring, relaxed.
Daisy - Closed, organized, outgoing, uncaring, stressed.

As repetitive as it looks, all my character are actually quite different, haha! So yay. I didn't change anything either, which surprised me. I was all "Bleeeh, bet they're all too similar" but each set of traits are quite different, despite only having 2 choices lol.

And now, if I use and really shove these traits into my brain, acting as each character should be relatively simple!! 8D

Better do this for the rest of 'em sometime OTL

BTW, I'm Open, disorganized, ingoing, uncaring and relaxed, harhar~

Facez ouo

Copying Kay, coz I can *slapped*
And this is quite handy indeed b

Haha, anyway, I always had a good idea of my main casts faces (if they were real and stuff) but never used to/kinda still don't draw 'em exactly how I want 'em. F*ck my skills OTL

• Jason has a square face I think X) and a gorgeous, curvy kinda chin eue Biggish 'petal' eyes, as I tend to call them when I'm drawing them, no idea why 8P quite a small, pointy, curvy/bridged nose and thin sexy lips. Lol yeah, he has the most amazing, wide smile *fangirls forever* <3

• Sammi has an inverted triangle face, I believe. And a very defined/sharp chin, which matches his sharp eyes and eyebrows, hahaha! Quite thick brows, and thick juicy lips eue and very long, big nose. Hooded eyes, basically his eyelids are low, like mine, haha -u- And yet another awesome smile, a crooked one, Silvester Stallone style >u>

• Karl has a diamond face I think XP haha, small roundish chin and rounded jaw, thick-ass eyebrows and big round eyes which are usually half closed in boredom 8D and a sexy hooked nose, haha XD quite thin lips too. His smile is... creepy? I imagine lol. 

• Amilia has a heart face, haha, her fav shape! A narrow jaw and small chin, 'tall'/big eyes? up turned button kinda nose, and thin sharpish eyebrows of which she presumably plucks the hell out of, haha. She has a small kitten-like smile, but she can look f*cking cranky when she smiles X'D depends on her mood. 

• Krissie has a square face, hehe, possibly the best one (since that's my face shape *slapped*) a wide but shortish, curvy jaw, 'long' narrow, deepset eyes and thickish round eyebrows and big round nose. Thickish juicy lips, ahuu, and a gorgeous big smile that'll warm your pants, I mean heart <3

• Daisy has a round face, hehe. Very round shortish chin, big beautiful eyes, longish button nose, small bushy eyebrows and a huge-ass smile that will kill you e3o lol. 

That's all I can comprehend ATM, meh XD tired.
But yeah, generally trying to vary faces as much as I can >.<''

Back to basics~

Started planning yesterday! as I announced on DA lol. So excited to be going back to basics and really developing their lives further, haha X''D

There's always been a story/back story for them all, and it totally needs telling, some way, some how XP since starting from the beginning of their lives is perfect to truly understand where each character's coming from ;u;

Firstly I've narrowed the ENTIRE 'story' down into chapters. Chapters for each characters lives, as in:

• How/when their parents met (though this may not be very detailed). 
• Their childhoods/home life. 
• Starting Elementary school and how they cope with fitting in. 
• Personal/family problems tend to come in when they're around 8-11 years old. 
• Starting middle school, how they 'find themselves' and deal with people and stuff. 
• Starting High school, woo! How they all met, how they're happier having found each other, how they can help each other etc. 

~That'll be all for now, and that's already too much, haha! But once I have that all set in stone it'll be MUCH easier to write new stories and come up with new ideas >u<

Chapters after all those will include how they met all the other characters. In some cases they already knew them; Kexi/Kirsty went to elementary school with Sammi, but he doesn't recognize her lol.

Ugh, you have no idea how much of a relief this is, TRULY~ *cries rainbows, again*

I HAD ideas WTF!! I just kinda forget about them, since they're old X'D
I was more focused on improving my art, to be honest OTL which was good really...

Don't wanna go home~

Family.

They're not involved hugely in teen shows. And when they are, they're perfect, sweet mothers and bossy, dominant fathers. Or the other way around lol.

I've mentioned on numerous occasions about Amilia's hatred for her mom. So I started to ask myself 'why does she hate her so much?'
The original idea was that her mom bosses her around, tells her she's worthless etc. which makes sense as to why Amilia's so degrading of herself, and thinks she can't do anything right. That all works out, I believe. But a few months ago I added some extra dimensions to her 'family life'.

Kaprica (her mom) has some kind of disability or illness, still contemplating, that makes her a bit immobile. She can walk, just not much. Kaprica exaggerates however, and makes Amilia do literally everything for her, when her husband's at work anyway.

Kaprica Rayzire info

I'm still developing Kaprica, but I know she smokes 20-30 cigarettes a day, and has done since she was 13. She has a history of drug abuse and has known a looot of criminals in her younger years. She was simply a troublemaker and hung around with gangs everywhere.
She met her husband, Alexander or Al, through her drug connections when she was 18 and he was 25. They bonded quickly and soon she was up le duff. Making her 32 and him 39 now?
She never wanted kids and despised them, she wanted to be free of responsibilities and just continue killing herself with drugs. Ho yeah.
She soon decided to give the baby up for adoption when she had her. Al, however, didn't want to, as he was also orphaned at a young age. Kaprica and him were obviously very different, so split up after she gave birth. He took Amilia to raise on his own.

After 9 glorious years of just Amilia and her dad, (going fishing, having fun, being perfect), her mom gets back in touch, claiming she's ready to raise a child, and that she's a changed person, having gotten help for her drug taking and drinking and God knows what else.
Amilia's overjoyed to be 'getting a mom' at first. Until she realizes what a nasty mom she is. Al's curious as to why she's come back to him, but all she claims is he's the 'one' for her. And that every other man she'd been with was a jerk, she's better off with a loving husband, like Al.

So yeah, pretty much it.
I'd say they're a happy family, but they're... kinda not. Haha.

• Al's had numerous jobs, but he loves working and being in different places. Plus they have lots of debts, so he has to.  
• Kaprica's still quite mean and selfish, bossing Amilia around like Cinderella most the day. She receives various help for her previous addictions and medical needs.
• Amilia wishes her mom would try do more for herself, knowing she's just lazy and taking advantage of everyone, due to her health problems.
• Al is a dedicated man, who's seen sides of Kaprica he wishes she still showed. He cares for her now and simply wants Amilia to be happy, which she isn't, so yay.
• Amilia still loves going fishing with her dad, when he has time and they're more used to it being just them. Her mom is now the annoying thing in the middle, so to speak.
• Either way, they wont be getting rid of Kaprica anytime soon. One of Al's suspicions is that Kaprica doesn't want to have responsibilities, so tracked them down and made herself at home. Lololololol. 

Emerald High origins~

Ok. I'm gonna be spilling my guts here guys, be honored X'D

I'm just gonna tell it how I remember it, along with some old work to jog my memory~

2006


I was lonely and actually clinically depressed or whatever you call it. But no one knew. I missed a LOT of school from 13-16. I just couldn't cope, but at first I LOVED the idea of starting a new school... the love was short lived of course.

• SO, I began working on a crappy novel, lovingly named 'Yo! Kappy' it was about a 13 year old bisexual punk girl called Kaprica (now Amilia's mom's name). The sh*tty book was written from her point of view, like a diary, and also contained a lot of badly spelled, almost unreadable text. Which was originally the 'quirk' for the book, as she couldn't spell very well. It's now just unreadable, lolololol. 
• The 'novel' started where her parents had divorced recently (excuse to have dad out of picture but still have him 'there' since my dad died when I was 9, oh the psychology) and her mom was making her move to a new house, in Punksdale (now EH's town name, it was a name to correspond with her clothes style was all), with her brother Jakky (now Daisy's brother). 
• As soon as they got moved into the pretty big, awesome house (that was clearly unfordable to them), her mom and Kappy went shopping.  And she soon bumped into and started talking to a girl called Cleo (now Amilia's friend in EH). She totally fancied her but soon after she met some guy and fancied him. Can't remember now, his name was Dizro and he worked on a scrapyard, blah. 
• That's pretty much as far as I got 'writing' it OTL but Cleo also told Kappy that she went to Saffire High school (were 13, shoulda been in middle school derp).

So yeah, I never got to the school part really, but I loved Kappy and I coulda kept her. But she simply got me through a depressive time and made me happy that she had the same problems as me ;n; she was also deadly quiet and a weirdo outcast~

Like I said, I never 'wrote' the school part, but I was already designing an endless cast of characters to be her classmates. Including pretty much ALL my current Emerald High cast, HAHAHA!! *slapped*

I still have and treasure the book of original concepts <3 some names vary but you can tell it's them lol. I was pleasantly surprised to find I'd designed Krissie, Daisy and Karl way back then actually o_____o

~So now you know where most my mains and their friends come from X3 a sh*t novel from 2006.

Where do Jason, Sammi and Amilia come from, you ask??? They're possibly my most developed, apart from Amilia who's basically had an identity crisis her whole life (since she's partly based on me, surprise surprise, pfffffffffffffft). But is currently nothing like me, haha.

• Sammi I know for sure, he was/is heavily based on and influenced by Will Smith's character in Fresh prince of Bel air *heart flutters* he was originally more 'badass' but calmed down in the last couple years or so, hehe. He's always been sarcastic, ahuu, I just LOVE that trait.
• Jason... I don't even.... know. I've watched so many comedy shows and crazy people on TV he's lost in translation, HAHAHHAA!! But looks wise he totally resembles Jim Carrey and I DO f*cking adore that man <3 Jason's 'passion' spawns from me, I feel. 
• Like I suggested, Amilia was originally based on me at the time, geeky, pink obsessed, cute, ugh. 

So how are Sammi and Jason so developed? As I claimed.

I've had numerous projects/novels in my life, and their characters (the 2 main best mates guys) have ALWAYS Been there. No matter what story I told, comic I made, idea I invented, asdfghjkl. So their relationship is epically strong and developed. Based upon almost every male duo there is out there, lol.
In fact, one of my first influences for them could have easily been Ant and Dec from a Saturday morning kids show here. I was crazy over it, and it also aired Pokemon (major influence on me).

I could ramble all day about them, but blah. Like I said earlier, Krissie, Karl and Daisy had been designed for the 'Yo! Kappy' project as classmates. Soooooo, since I wanted a few main characters to 'work with' and make a full story for I picked the geek, rich girl and dumbass.... wooo. Sounds epically lame now, but I put a spin on them soon after.

• For a start, I pride myself heavily on the fact Krissie ain't no bitch/selfish asshole like most wealthy/famous-ish females are portrayed as. The idea that she'd had a lonely childhood and just wanted friends was an early idea. 
• Karl I barely used post 2010, so currently HE'S the bitch/selfish asshole, aaaaaaahh, ce la vie :3
• Daisy was just the stupid one, heh, and (thinking back) her and Karl were probably just based on Dexter and Deedee from Dexter's lab anyway... lol fail. She's now more 'badass' and righteous, ho yeah. 

Oh wait a minute.... most of this post is bullsh*it coz I found 2005 concepts for the Emerald High main cast............... WTF??!?!!?! *explodes*
What's the point of explaining anything anymore?? OTL I just don't know where the hell they came from OK?? 

Aaaaaaaaanyway... *shifty eyes, throws paper aside*

THIS is where the story truly starts. You wanna know their full childhoods and how they eventually met and all their personal issues and problems???

Stay tuned my friends... stayed tuned~
