11. Any giftarts. I love me some giftarts.
12. Um. I really wanted some badges from Huskie at some point in my life of either Darkmoon or Bailey. If she asks about colors or anything plzzzz send the question to me. :nod: I had a specific request for Bailey's too...
13. Pillows or plushies relating to either my characters if anyone's kind enough to do it-or of stars and rainbows and stuff
14. http://cgi.ebay.com/THEATRICAL-Visual-K
15. http://cgi.ebay.com/Gothic-Lolita-COSPL
Basically I also LOVE LITTLE LOLITA HATS, um, a lot of stuff. If you think I'd like it, I probably would if you know me...um...uhhhh...I like stuff. Just, like--stuff like the fashion I draw as long as it's relatively modest, ha ha...nothing painfully bondage-esque or anything :/ stuff like listed here: http://jabberwockyjones.deviantart.c
Looking bookwise for Paradise Kiss, anything past volume one. Or the fourth or fifth Bizenghast.
I've become a library freak so I really don't want any book books-exception being anything Diana Wynne Jones wrote besides Castle in the Air, Howl's Moving Castle *my favorite books*, The Chronicles of Chrestomanci one or two.
Gamewise, I've been looking to obtain the first Jak and Daxter game for Ps2...dunno if it was released on any other platform. I love that game.
I'm a medium or large. extra large if sizes run small. I'm kind of tallish, but I've got largeish breasts and hips...so it's hard for me to fit in every medium. I'm generally a large. Shoe size I tend to be an 8, 8 1/2 is the safer option if available. If you want specific measurements for any reason just note me.
Oh, and of course anything similar to the stuff above, or involving itself in Carebears, Ponies or Rainbow Brite is welcome. and I've got a LOLITA OBSESSION with them little top hats especially!
Thanks to anyone in advance who's planning to actually get anything. I feel terrible putting these up though D:
But I figure I do an assload of gifts every year XD

Commissions question
Taken from dA...
Quite simple. If I open, would anyone be interested? We already know what I offer-sketches, various kinds of linework (pen-shaded or left alone), colored images (pencils, markers, watercolors) with/without backgrounds, badges (collar badges, regular badges), and if you're willing to wait, stippling images (I also still have the Eastern Dragon WIP up for grabs, folks!)
So, would anyone want anything?
Also, special on badges! I've got this cool purple paper, this peachish paper, and this white paper with flecks of leaves in it, LIMITED AMOUNT, that I'll take badge commissions on! Just add a dollar to the original price of any badge of a single character, couple badges remain the same.
So, whatcha thinkin'? I'd like some input.
------
Okay, I'm making references.
I figured I need to for your sanity. And mine o_o
But yeah, here's where I stand on references.
1. Dominic-Done-barely, it's SO CRAPTASTIC THAT IT IS NOT FUNNY.
2. Darkmoon-Done
3. Triina-It's old and crappy buuut I like it enough to repost with clean text
4. Elijah-Coloring
5. Brandy-I'll suck it up and find a leg color. It won't be all new and shiny anatomy-wise (from 2007) but we'll live, won't we? Besides, I liked her face, it was cute.
I am making a new one anyway, for replacement's sake.
6. Amy-Sketching-NOT GOING WELL.
7. Burton-He has one up
8. Maire-Not started. and her old one? *shudders*
9. Lindsay-We're good.
10. Bailey-I damn hope we're good, I just made him a new one!
11. Lucy-We'll see.
12. Aaron-Not started
13. Sam-NEVERRRR maybe...yes...no....maybe.
14. Max-Geez, he's too boring for a ref sheet. Maybe.
If not a physical description should suffice.
15. CARLOTTAAA-ehehehe, maybe.
Carlos is easy to draw, once you figure out how. And I did, so maybe I will.
As for info. I found this old thing I did of Bailey...it made me think a great deal about who I am versus who he is.
I see many parallels.
A lot of them aren't similarities persay but we share the same fears (some of them)....the same disorder, the same dependency on others and praise and whatnot to get by. Same fear of foods (I am not actually afraid but feel super guilty doing something simple like eating bread, or drinking milk, which I no longer drink because it hurts my throat)....
Thantophobia.
That doesn't sound like death.
Death doesn't sound.
It doesn't sound like dying, the process of aging. It doesn't sound like a fear. It sounds like fear of plaid plastic tableclothes.
It just...doesn't sound right. It sounds too novelty.
I am terribly, terribly afraid of death, dying, aging, and I do not feel it as Thantophobia. I mean, come on.
It's an awful sounding name.
Sounds like your grandmother's kitchen. >.<
Sorry about that.
I just...thought it was odd.
Okay, for character bios who does everyone wanna see next? D:
I already did Bailey, Sam, Max, and Lindsay, I'm working on Dominic's, who next though?
OFFICIAL info for Bailey is under the cut. Ignore the past thing, it's too detailed! *flail*
Name: Bailey Roderick Mellizano
Gender: Male
Species: “Catsune” mix. They’re kind of like…the two-tail demon cats mixed with kitsunes and regular cat anthros. Mostly catty. Magic powers. :3 He has werewolf blood in him as well though (by werewolf, I am here referring to the more muscled, taller wolf anthros, not actual werewolves) from his father’s side (explains his height, lol).
Age: 21
Birthdate: June 28, 1988
Height: 6 feet 8 inches.
Beliefs/Religion: Native religion for his species. Similar to Shinto in that it is very nature-based, but also has features seen in Hinduism kindofsortof, but more in the nature of the beliefs as to the actual beliefs. He’s polytheistic. Practices usually at home, mostly through prayer, offerings, and meditation. Visits temples and shrines sometimes though.
Their gods are a duality, and represent mainly sexuality and fertility (of the land, of animals, and of clouds-rain). They also represent the moon and the sun, and have a side that represents death (kind of like Shiva and Kali). Their male god is the illigitamate child of a kitsune priest and a two-tail cat demon. Their goddess is a normal anthropomorphic cat. They represent the sides of the species, and its spectrum, in that aspect, and that they are always brothers to Kitsunes, although kitsunes were their enemies for some time, and despite that, they are still cats by nature. Their “mother” is a cat. The other deities are much like the ones of Shinto, where there are local deities and whatnot. They believe in a kind of an afterlife, and that their mother and father gods, having created land for their children to flee to after persecution, at the end of the world they’ll take all they can gather (in a giant egg, ooh) to the moon, which they will recreate to be live-able.
So although rather, uhm, literal, it does accept science. And has huge festivals and whatnot.
Bailey believes in balance, practices aspects of Buddhism that merged with his religion, um, believes in honesty and trust and creativity and originality…just, stuff like that.
Hobby: Drawing, writing poetry and stories (working on a novel right now), cooking, collecting stuff like My Little Pony merch and sex toys, especially Japanese ones his cousin (poor guy) sends him, along with other random Japanese things.
(Twist): whut?
Basic Description: Likeable. Very social, and has mood swings, poor social skills at times, and neurotic tendancies. Drinks and swears like a sailor. Smokes like a fiend. Tends to be hyperactive, but his mood changes really quickly and if you can’t keep up, too bad for you.
------------------- Current Information -------------------
Family Background: His father's family contains werewolf blood (not change-with-full-moon werewolf, just, more primitive anthros). They are from Italy and moved to the "new world" because of werewolf burnings held in Europe. His mom is a long family line of catsunes, supposedly mostly pure-blooded, but probably kitsunes and cats married in frequently. They had a family business started by his grandparents that brought in a great deal of money so they were pretty well-off, compared to Rick's folks, who were working-class pretty much. He doesn't see his parents much. Mayra had a ton of sisters so she comes from a big family, versus Rick with his one brother, ironically named Richard...where he is Roderick. XD
Birth Place: Brazil (like this cool cityplace in my head it’s not as messy as the rest of South America and is large enough to split away from the rest of the country and um. They really want to… It’s a country full of immigrants from Eurasia so they speak English, Japanese, Portuguese and a bunch of other lingos and they consider themselves an immigrant nation that is a global culture).
History, Background: Um. Uh. He was…born...prematurely, so he had bad lung development. -_- Wealthy parents (his mom came from money). His father is a brain surgeon. His mother is a lawyer. They didn’t plan him and were going to college for about half his life (yeah they were very young and those degrees take a ton of time to get). Both into really geeky shit (Rick “infected” Mayra with his love of cheesy sci-fi and obsession with videogames and Star Wars and comics; his mom had an interest she hid from most folks-popularity in highschool at stake, lulz- in the music of the Gothic subculture, but I dunno if that counts as geeky). Pressured by his parents to do well in school. He was exposed to sex and other things at a very impressionable age. Abused at times by both parents (his father would do it when drunk, and then have no recollection and he’s a nice guy, not the type to do that), especially his mother. Oh oh his mom’s bipolar but she’s a bitch anyhow. She really internalized the disorder. D: She also spoiled him. His mom’s hard to like. D: I feel badly for his dad. So mixed messages at home. As a result you have a very neurotic and paranoid but also very naïve, attention-craving whiny man into geeky shit and porn. :/
Home: 124 Crescent Avenue (If he’s moving he stays with his parents), or um. This apartment building. In an apartment. That he lives in. With Amy and kids.
Possesions, Make-up, Jewelry, etc.: He owns loads of crap. He wears a lotta black makeup, but feel free to add bright colors, he wears that too and states that he probably glows in the dark.
ALWAYS wears two black leather collars that buckle. They both look too big on him usually, and the top one is your standard cone-stud/spiked collar with a d-ring. Lower collar is plain and unadorned except for a silver bell (like a jingle bell, not a cow bell) that is usually medium-sized but can be drawn smaller or larger. He owns a lot of music, pricy art supplies, a house (oh, yeah, that thing where he keeps his shit!), art pieces, cooking supplies, sex toys, refridgerator, MLPs, Carebear and Rainbow Brite merch, a lotta dvds, whatever people keep in their bathroom cabinets, waaaay too many articles of clothing, little square table with a few chairs for eating at, hair styling stuff, rat food, bedding, pillows, a mattress, an old couch that used to belong to someone who owned a cat without a scratching post, house paint, two or mac computers, a cell phone, an iPod video, and uh.
Other shit. You know, house stuff. Bailey stuff.
Pets: A large chubby male agouti rat with a white belly named Sparky Joe. His wife had (she died ;_;) a white and beige rat with an opossum-esque face named Lily, and his daughter, Tibby, owns two of their offspring. He found (crawling from a drain, eew) a hugeass old mail rat (size of a fat cat) he named Mr. Schnuffles because the poor thing is ancient and wheezing and depressed in appearance but still tries to have a good time. He is all grey-brown with a teeny tiny white spot on his stomach. He is kind of heavy.
-------------------- Physical Description --------------------
Hair style: Black, “fluffy” hair, with a sleek texture. Relatively straight but has body. It’s very similar to this image: but with no “side strands” and no other colors. It’s shorter in the back, but very floofy, too, and less organized in the front. More messy. :3 He actually does get it permed to make it as floofy as it is in the back. XD
Fur Color: White, black ears, nose, and lips, and grey eyelids.
Eyes: Rich brown
Body: Disturbingly thin and he's got a long, bony neck, ha ha ha. Tall, his body’s mostly leg (four feet of him is leg). Boney. His hips appear curvy from his thin build. Largecocklol. Very feminine body and face. Long, girlish hands with thin, long fingers. He is a calico (think Japanese bobtail when I say this), but does not have very much black fur. He does actually have black-grey skin in a few areas but he has white fur, exceptions being the ones listed under fur color.
Physical condition: Very thin. BMI fluxuates between 11 and 17. 6 feet, 8 inches tall, weighing at an average of 150 pounds (weight fluxuates between 110 and 150). Very fast metabolism. Easily made ill due to an immune deficiency and the stress his body is under from the fluxuation of weight.
Marks, Scar, Tattoo: Two tattoos: A black glittery star inside a vivid purple star inside a vivid blue star. Little silver dots and blue stars only a little bigger than the dots surround the star. Crossbones are under the star, so you only see the tips of the bones. This is on his right “shoulder” part of his arm. His left tricep area has a green snake with yellow eyes, an open mouth, and a red tongue. It is not just on one side of his arm, it wraps around! There is barbed wire curled around the snake.
Bailey has many scars, most of them are very small. They are mostly on his back and are very hard to see or feel (you really have to search for them, and even then, you can’t feel them too well at all). They seem nearly nonexistent because they healed well and were mainly small surface scratches. Surface scratches from nails hurt a great deal but only essentially remove a very tiny bit of skin, so they heal pretty well and fade really well. I have one on my hand. It took its sweet time to heal though. >.<
Clothing: Black, pinstripe, neon, glitter, silver, stars, rainbows, spikes, studs. Lotta mancorsets and jewelry is worn often (jelly bracelets, ankhs, pony beads, more delicate stuff too). Of course he has the two collars he always wears, the spike one with the d-ring and the plain one with the huge bell. Loves MLP, Care Bears, Rainbow Brite. One of his favorite shirts is a regular casual white tee with a black collar. It reads “ORAL SEX” in large, plain capital lettering. Classy. Fishnet tops abound! And fishnet armsocks…eh, he likes fishnet. He occasionally does actually wear fishnet stockings. He likes to wear bondage bracelets and tail bands and skinny pants that flare at the bottom. HE CANNOT WEAR DENIM. If he’s in skinnies, they’re probably them bondage pants. Huge fan of cigarette leg pants. Likes anything Gothic from Cyber style to Elegant Aristocratic. He wears it all. And wears glam fashion too, whee!
------------ Personality ------------
Likes: Drawing, writing, cooking, his family (Note that when you’re a friend of Bailey’s you’re as good as family), having sex (he suffers from a serious sex addiction), reading/watching porn (gay or otherwise), being around people (insecure alone), shopping, kittens, rats, unicorns, designing stuff, clubbing, taking walks, playing videogames, the color purple, neon pink, fashion design, glowy/glittery stuff, stars, transvestites, helping others, making/buying people presents, fish, thai food, martial arts, cheesecake (he’d never admit it), sour candy, catnip, horror, anime, being spoiled (he loooves being the center of attention and getting presents and stuff more than like anything), touching and being touched (from hand on shoulder to hand down pants), kissing people (he kisses everybody lol and not nessicerally in a romantic way, he pecks everyone), dancing, stripping, musicals, the Rocky Horror (Picture) Show and other silly things, Japanese bean candy and bean cakes, drinking games, talking, drinking, Japan, mythology, Shakespeare OMG YES, reading, singing, learning new things, rainbows, summer, yoga, meditation, the internet, attending conventions, concert-going, being generally irritating.
Dislikes: Being alone, not getting his way, milk chocolate, bread, most kinds of cake, potatoes, rap, preppy folk, homophobes, Bush, his parents (sometimes), poseurs, fake emo kids, emo-bashers, being prodded in the top center of his back between the shoulder blades, Christmas time (He is not Christian, understands nothing about the religion, and gets depressed during Christmas because he gets really confused), being accused of anything, true or not, being told he needs help, yelling people, sometimes himself, borrowing money from others, Mexican and ironically most Brazilian food, beef, not being able to sleep (he is a chronic but thankfully mild insomniac).
Fears: Large bodies of water, swimming, being abandoned, death, watching someone die, being evicted, flying in planes, driving over high bridges, being arrested, rehabilitation centers, weight gain, his father at times, his mother at times, himself at times, being stalked, mainstream people sometimes (he’s afraid of what they think of him sometimes), eating bread, some drugs, not sleeping enough, sleeping too much, messing something up (tiny or big scale, it’s the end of the world for him either way), upsetting others.
Goals: To be able to fully support himself, live off his art and literature, maybe open a restaurant. He wants to make more money so he can save for his children’s college expenses. Wants to be making more than enough money because A. he finds living under stress of money incredibly dangerous considering Bailey cannot handle stress very well at all and B. he just kind of wants to for the sake of it. Being able to help others out and whatnot. He’d kill to be able to spare money for charity. Oh, and he wants to collect ALL the My Little Ponies, and ALL their accessories.
Hobbies: Cooking, clubbing, all-gender sex, drawing/painting, writing, learning new languages, traveling (especially on rented buses with his pals), visiting art conventions, helping Amy make and design clothes, playing videogames (especially Okami, any horror game, DDR, and Katamari Damashii), helping his friend Sam make movies, participating in photo shoots, drinking, smoking. Sees two psychiatrists twice a week, once with family (Amy, parents, sometimes his daughter Tibby), and an occupational therapist/speech therapist once a week.
Occupation: Often waiting and/or cooking at various restaurants, depending on income and amount of time and whether or not he’s got classes. He is a cashier at a friend’s alternative fashion store. And of course he is a published writer and takes art commissions and has original works in some very, very small galleries.
Most Prized Possession (important or emotional value): I hate saying a rat is a possession because they’re alive and it seems wrong to own something alive, but I think his rats. I think having a pet is an agreement between you and the animal, if you do it right.
Vernacular (way of speaking): Odd mix of blunt swearing and elegant wordplay (if he feels like being elegant). Lots of ums and uhs. Kind of a WNY accent (flat A’s). He spends a lot of time there. But the accent isn’t that noticeable. Whiny, highish pitch, slightly nasal.
Psychological condition: This is actually neurology but he has Asperger’s Syndrome (so do I actually), he has two personality disorders (Passive Aggressive and Dependant), and is severely neurotic and phobic of swimming, death, weight gain, sickness, and flying in planes.
Character behaviour: crazy. Neurotic. Has a nervous breakdown that lasts three weeks on average if he is overwhelmed with stress for too long and will attempt suicide if he’s like that.
Despite that, Bailey actually loves life. He’s just disturbingly irrational. Loves his friends to the point of being creepy with them, seeing that he kisses everyone, has little self-control, and loves hugs. Clingy, whiny. His mood contradicts itself, changing constantly. He’s easily bored, but easily amused too, and humorous. He’s a people person. He has many fears, many of which are irrational. Bailey is very dependant upon others for support and advice. He thrives off others’ happiness. No use in a crisis, though, I’m afraid. He cries almost daily from built up stress.
Aptitude: Good at analyzing information. Talented artist and writer. Skilled cook (this did NOT come naturally for him!). Good researcher. Works well with large quanitities of school work and long to-do lists. Very intelligent.
Social and other pressures, problems: Hellooo, Asperger’s Syndrome? He also cares very much about what others think of him, with paranoid tendancies. As stated above, cries almost daily from not being able to handle his stress well and because he’s so easily hurt.
Relationships (with who and what kind): Married to Amy Goldfur, now Amy Mellizano. Oh, and he’s bisexual. Many friends, but best friends with Derrick (joint creation between me and Missharu), Samara, and Alex (belonging to grimspetcat). Has four children, two girls, two 1/2 years old named Caroline and Charolette (born around mid March or early April), and an older girl from a past relationship (age thing is confusing but um, appears a few years older than she is, which is around four or four and a half), and Tristen, who is going to be a year on January third. The children he had with Amy were planned. Tibby was not. He loves her to pieces and they're incredibly close.
Beliefs, superstition, moral value: VERY religious, he prays two times each day aloud and at least six times each day in his head. Believes in an afterlife, ghosts, and stuff like that. Believes in forgiveness, honesty (he can be painfully honest but lies a lot too, despite himself), tolerance, balance, health and such.
Positive characteristics: Helpful, cheerful, humorous, loving, generous, intelligent, active, smart (different from intelligent), creative, passionate, interested, interesting, obsessive, good cook, skilled, likes children, social, speaks up when something is bothering or upsetting him, truthful, forigiving, faithful, can hold his own in a fight (for at least a while)
Negatives characteristics: Obnoxious, childish, whiny, clingy, picky, lacks self control (sexually speaking), prone to overblowing a situation, irrational, overworks himself, can be egotistical, spoiled, stubborn, moody, does not understand social cues at times, vulnerable, low self-esteem, selfish, easily depressed, paranoid, fearful, impatient, may behave in ways inappropriate for the situation at hand, binge-drinker, obsessive, selective memory, lies (really badly it’s so easy to tell when he’s lying), too generous at times, naive.
Other: He plays Soap Opera with his sushi rolls.

They also represent the moon and the sun, and have a side that represents death (kind of like Shiva and Kali). Their male god is the illigitamate child of a kitsune priest and a two-tail cat demon. Their goddess is a normal anthropomorphic cat. They represent the sides of the species, and its spectrum, in that aspect, and that they are always brothers to Kitsunes, although kitsunes were their enemies for some time, and despite that, they are still cats by nature. Their “mother” is a cat. The other deities are much like the ones of Shinto, where there are local deities and whatnot. They believe in a kind of an afterlife, and that their mother and father gods, having created land for their children to flee to after persecution, at the end of the world they’ll take all they can gather (in a giant egg, ooh) to the moon, which they will recreate to be live-able.
So although rather, uhm, literal, it does accept science. And has huge festivals and whatnot.
Bailey believes in balance, practices aspects of Buddhism that merged with his religion, um, believes in honesty and trust and creativity and originality…just, stuff like that.
Hobby: Drawing, writing poetry and stories (working on a novel right now), cooking, collecting stuff like My Little Pony merch and sex toys, especially Japanese ones his cousin (poor guy) sends him, along with other random Japanese things.
(Twist): whut?
Basic Description: Likeable. Very social, and has mood swings, poor social skills at times, and neurotic tendancies. Drinks and swears like a sailor. Smokes like a fiend. Tends to be hyperactive, but his mood changes really quickly and if you can’t keep up, too bad for you.
------------------- Current Information -------------------
Family Background: His father's family contains werewolf blood (not change-with-full-moon werewolf, just, more primitive anthros). They are from Italy and moved to the "new world" because of werewolf burnings held in Europe. His mom is a long family line of catsunes, supposedly mostly pure-blooded, but probably kitsunes and cats married in frequently. They had a family business started by his grandparents that brought in a great deal of money so they were pretty well-off, compared to Rick's folks, who were working-class pretty much. He doesn't see his parents much. Mayra had a ton of sisters so she comes from a big family, versus Rick with his one brother, ironically named Richard...where he is Roderick. XD
Birth Place: Brazil (like this cool cityplace in my head it’s not as messy as the rest of South America and is large enough to split away from the rest of the country and um. They really want to… It’s a country full of immigrants from Eurasia so they speak English, Japanese, Portuguese and a bunch of other lingos and they consider themselves an immigrant nation that is a global culture).
History, Background: Um. Uh. He was…born...prematurely, so he had bad lung development. -_- Wealthy parents (his mom came from money). His father is a brain surgeon. His mother is a lawyer. They didn’t plan him and were going to college for about half his life (yeah they were very young and those degrees take a ton of time to get). Both into really geeky shit (Rick “infected” Mayra with his love of cheesy sci-fi and obsession with videogames and Star Wars and comics; his mom had an interest she hid from most folks-popularity in highschool at stake, lulz- in the music of the Gothic subculture, but I dunno if that counts as geeky). Pressured by his parents to do well in school. He was exposed to sex and other things at a very impressionable age. Abused at times by both parents (his father would do it when drunk, and then have no recollection and he’s a nice guy, not the type to do that), especially his mother. Oh oh his mom’s bipolar but she’s a bitch anyhow. She really internalized the disorder. D: She also spoiled him. His mom’s hard to like. D: I feel badly for his dad. So mixed messages at home. As a result you have a very neurotic and paranoid but also very naïve, attention-craving whiny man into geeky shit and porn. :/
Home: 124 Crescent Avenue (If he’s moving he stays with his parents), or um. This apartment building. In an apartment. That he lives in. With Amy and kids.
Possesions, Make-up, Jewelry, etc.: He owns loads of crap. He wears a lotta black makeup, but feel free to add bright colors, he wears that too and states that he probably glows in the dark.
ALWAYS wears two black leather collars that buckle. They both look too big on him usually, and the top one is your standard cone-stud/spiked collar with a d-ring. Lower collar is plain and unadorned except for a silver bell (like a jingle bell, not a cow bell) that is usually medium-sized but can be drawn smaller or larger. He owns a lot of music, pricy art supplies, a house (oh, yeah, that thing where he keeps his shit!), art pieces, cooking supplies, sex toys, refridgerator, MLPs, Carebear and Rainbow Brite merch, a lotta dvds, whatever people keep in their bathroom cabinets, waaaay too many articles of clothing, little square table with a few chairs for eating at, hair styling stuff, rat food, bedding, pillows, a mattress, an old couch that used to belong to someone who owned a cat without a scratching post, house paint, two or mac computers, a cell phone, an iPod video, and uh.
Other shit. You know, house stuff. Bailey stuff.
Pets: A large chubby male agouti rat with a white belly named Sparky Joe. His wife had (she died ;_;) a white and beige rat with an opossum-esque face named Lily, and his daughter, Tibby, owns two of their offspring. He found (crawling from a drain, eew) a hugeass old mail rat (size of a fat cat) he named Mr. Schnuffles because the poor thing is ancient and wheezing and depressed in appearance but still tries to have a good time. He is all grey-brown with a teeny tiny white spot on his stomach. He is kind of heavy.
-------------------- Physical Description --------------------
Hair style: Black, “fluffy” hair, with a sleek texture. Relatively straight but has body. It’s very similar to this image: but with no “side strands” and no other colors. It’s shorter in the back, but very floofy, too, and less organized in the front. More messy. :3 He actually does get it permed to make it as floofy as it is in the back. XD
Fur Color: White, black ears, nose, and lips, and grey eyelids.
Eyes: Rich brown
Body: Disturbingly thin and he's got a long, bony neck, ha ha ha. Tall, his body’s mostly leg (four feet of him is leg). Boney. His hips appear curvy from his thin build. Largecocklol. Very feminine body and face. Long, girlish hands with thin, long fingers. He is a calico (think Japanese bobtail when I say this), but does not have very much black fur. He does actually have black-grey skin in a few areas but he has white fur, exceptions being the ones listed under fur color.
Physical condition: Very thin. BMI fluxuates between 11 and 17. 6 feet, 8 inches tall, weighing at an average of 150 pounds (weight fluxuates between 110 and 150). Very fast metabolism. Easily made ill due to an immune deficiency and the stress his body is under from the fluxuation of weight.
Marks, Scar, Tattoo: Two tattoos: A black glittery star inside a vivid purple star inside a vivid blue star. Little silver dots and blue stars only a little bigger than the dots surround the star. Crossbones are under the star, so you only see the tips of the bones. This is on his right “shoulder” part of his arm. His left tricep area has a green snake with yellow eyes, an open mouth, and a red tongue. It is not just on one side of his arm, it wraps around! There is barbed wire curled around the snake.
Bailey has many scars, most of them are very small. They are mostly on his back and are very hard to see or feel (you really have to search for them, and even then, you can’t feel them too well at all). They seem nearly nonexistent because they healed well and were mainly small surface scratches. Surface scratches from nails hurt a great deal but only essentially remove a very tiny bit of skin, so they heal pretty well and fade really well. I have one on my hand. It took its sweet time to heal though. >.<
Clothing: Black, pinstripe, neon, glitter, silver, stars, rainbows, spikes, studs. Lotta mancorsets and jewelry is worn often (jelly bracelets, ankhs, pony beads, more delicate stuff too). Of course he has the two collars he always wears, the spike one with the d-ring and the plain one with the huge bell. Loves MLP, Care Bears, Rainbow Brite. One of his favorite shirts is a regular casual white tee with a black collar. It reads “ORAL SEX” in large, plain capital lettering. Classy. Fishnet tops abound! And fishnet armsocks…eh, he likes fishnet. He occasionally does actually wear fishnet stockings. He likes to wear bondage bracelets and tail bands and skinny pants that flare at the bottom. HE CANNOT WEAR DENIM. If he’s in skinnies, they’re probably them bondage pants. Huge fan of cigarette leg pants. Likes anything Gothic from Cyber style to Elegant Aristocratic. He wears it all. And wears glam fashion too, whee!
------------ Personality ------------
Likes: Drawing, writing, cooking, his family (Note that when you’re a friend of Bailey’s you’re as good as family), having sex (he suffers from a serious sex addiction), reading/watching porn (gay or otherwise), being around people (insecure alone), shopping, kittens, rats, unicorns, designing stuff, clubbing, taking walks, playing videogames, the color purple, neon pink, fashion design, glowy/glittery stuff, stars, transvestites, helping others, making/buying people presents, fish, thai food, martial arts, cheesecake (he’d never admit it), sour candy, catnip, horror, anime, being spoiled (he loooves being the center of attention and getting presents and stuff more than like anything), touching and being touched (from hand on shoulder to hand down pants), kissing people (he kisses everybody lol and not nessicerally in a romantic way, he pecks everyone), dancing, stripping, musicals, the Rocky Horror (Picture) Show and other silly things, Japanese bean candy and bean cakes, drinking games, talking, drinking, Japan, mythology, Shakespeare OMG YES, reading, singing, learning new things, rainbows, summer, yoga, meditation, the internet, attending conventions, concert-going, being generally irritating.
Dislikes: Being alone, not getting his way, milk chocolate, bread, most kinds of cake, potatoes, rap, preppy folk, homophobes, Bush, his parents (sometimes), poseurs, fake emo kids, emo-bashers, being prodded in the top center of his back between the shoulder blades, Christmas time (He is not Christian, understands nothing about the religion, and gets depressed during Christmas because he gets really confused), being accused of anything, true or not, being told he needs help, yelling people, sometimes himself, borrowing money from others, Mexican and ironically most Brazilian food, beef, not being able to sleep (he is a chronic but thankfully mild insomniac).
Fears: Large bodies of water, swimming, being abandoned, death, watching someone die, being evicted, flying in planes, driving over high bridges, being arrested, rehabilitation centers, weight gain, his father at times, his mother at times, himself at times, being stalked, mainstream people sometimes (he’s afraid of what they think of him sometimes), eating bread, some drugs, not sleeping enough, sleeping too much, messing something up (tiny or big scale, it’s the end of the world for him either way), upsetting others.
Goals: To be able to fully support himself, live off his art and literature, maybe open a restaurant. He wants to make more money so he can save for his children’s college expenses. Wants to be making more than enough money because A. he finds living under stress of money incredibly dangerous considering Bailey cannot handle stress very well at all and B. he just kind of wants to for the sake of it. Being able to help others out and whatnot. He’d kill to be able to spare money for charity. Oh, and he wants to collect ALL the My Little Ponies, and ALL their accessories.
Hobbies: Cooking, clubbing, all-gender sex, drawing/painting, writing, learning new languages, traveling (especially on rented buses with his pals), visiting art conventions, helping Amy make and design clothes, playing videogames (especially Okami, any horror game, DDR, and Katamari Damashii), helping his friend Sam make movies, participating in photo shoots, drinking, smoking. Sees two psychiatrists twice a week, once with family (Amy, parents, sometimes his daughter Tibby), and an occupational therapist/speech therapist once a week.
Occupation: Often waiting and/or cooking at various restaurants, depending on income and amount of time and whether or not he’s got classes. He is a cashier at a friend’s alternative fashion store. And of course he is a published writer and takes art commissions and has original works in some very, very small galleries.
Most Prized Possession (important or emotional value): I hate saying a rat is a possession because they’re alive and it seems wrong to own something alive, but I think his rats. I think having a pet is an agreement between you and the animal, if you do it right.
Vernacular (way of speaking): Odd mix of blunt swearing and elegant wordplay (if he feels like being elegant). Lots of ums and uhs. Kind of a WNY accent (flat A’s). He spends a lot of time there. But the accent isn’t that noticeable. Whiny, highish pitch, slightly nasal.
Psychological condition: This is actually neurology but he has Asperger’s Syndrome (so do I actually), he has two personality disorders (Passive Aggressive and Dependant), and is severely neurotic and phobic of swimming, death, weight gain, sickness, and flying in planes.
Character behaviour: crazy. Neurotic. Has a nervous breakdown that lasts three weeks on average if he is overwhelmed with stress for too long and will attempt suicide if he’s like that.
Despite that, Bailey actually loves life. He’s just disturbingly irrational. Loves his friends to the point of being creepy with them, seeing that he kisses everyone, has little self-control, and loves hugs. Clingy, whiny. His mood contradicts itself, changing constantly. He’s easily bored, but easily amused too, and humorous. He’s a people person. He has many fears, many of which are irrational. Bailey is very dependant upon others for support and advice. He thrives off others’ happiness. No use in a crisis, though, I’m afraid. He cries almost daily from built up stress.
Aptitude: Good at analyzing information. Talented artist and writer. Skilled cook (this did NOT come naturally for him!). Good researcher. Works well with large quanitities of school work and long to-do lists. Very intelligent.
Social and other pressures, problems: Hellooo, Asperger’s Syndrome? He also cares very much about what others think of him, with paranoid tendancies. As stated above, cries almost daily from not being able to handle his stress well and because he’s so easily hurt.
Relationships (with who and what kind): Married to Amy Goldfur, now Amy Mellizano. Oh, and he’s bisexual. Many friends, but best friends with Derrick (joint creation between me and Missharu), Samara, and Alex (belonging to grimspetcat). Has four children, two girls, two 1/2 years old named Caroline and Charolette (born around mid March or early April), and an older girl from a past relationship (age thing is confusing but um, appears a few years older than she is, which is around four or four and a half), and Tristen, who is going to be a year on January third. The children he had with Amy were planned. Tibby was not. He loves her to pieces and they're incredibly close.
Beliefs, superstition, moral value: VERY religious, he prays two times each day aloud and at least six times each day in his head. Believes in an afterlife, ghosts, and stuff like that. Believes in forgiveness, honesty (he can be painfully honest but lies a lot too, despite himself), tolerance, balance, health and such.
Positive characteristics: Helpful, cheerful, humorous, loving, generous, intelligent, active, smart (different from intelligent), creative, passionate, interested, interesting, obsessive, good cook, skilled, likes children, social, speaks up when something is bothering or upsetting him, truthful, forigiving, faithful, can hold his own in a fight (for at least a while)
Negatives characteristics: Obnoxious, childish, whiny, clingy, picky, lacks self control (sexually speaking), prone to overblowing a situation, irrational, overworks himself, can be egotistical, spoiled, stubborn, moody, does not understand social cues at times, vulnerable, low self-esteem, selfish, easily depressed, paranoid, fearful, impatient, may behave in ways inappropriate for the situation at hand, binge-drinker, obsessive, selective memory, lies (really badly it’s so easy to tell when he’s lying), too generous at times, naive.
Other: He plays Soap Opera with his sushi rolls.
