Congrats on 10k Mistcat! I know you don’t know me personally, but I’m always inspired (and so many others!) by your work, and it keeps reminding me that even I, if I stick with it and keep trying, can learn to love my art and what I do. All your art is always so stunning and amazing, and you use so many tricks I’d love to learn to try and use! I remember when I had first joined scratch and saw your stuff, I thought it was all so incredible, and I didn’t know if I could ever get to that level of epicness! But you’ve always said to not give up and to keep trying, even when you feel like you’re getting nowhere or really struggling. Without actually saying anything to me, I’ve learned a lot from just looking at your artwork and animations frame by frame- it’s people like you who inspire me to keep going, and working hard. So good luck as you continue on in life and(hopefully) art, and may good fortune always come your way :) Bio time! I’ve decided to enter for #2 Name: Ace/Acey Gender: Male Alliance: A serious case of the neutralities, he isn’t for or against the ghosts, same for the council. He does what he thinks is for his best interests. Personality: likes to be in charge, snarky, witty. Doesn’t care to form relationships of any kind, romantic or platonic. Is helpful when it’s needed, or he has a reason to be, normally if he’ll get something out of it. Sarcastic and a hypocrite. Likes: Being smart alecy, rainy days, 12 am, being moody, surprisingly? centipedes. Dislikes: Other people being overly sarcastic, really bright sunny days, happy people, not surprising? Any other bug that’s near him- Relations: His mom, a wolf from the Forest of Ghosts, his dad(Apollo), a Guardian. Both were killed for their forbidden love and pup, resulting in Ace being as cold and lonely as he is. He befriends the second arc characters, and ultimately becomes a helpful doggo in the end. Seen/maybe used if I win him: Introduced Season 3, maybe 4, depends. Backstory: Going back to the forbidden love between Ace’s parents, Guardians are a special species of dog/wolf(it’s a mix of both anatomies) that was bred to help protect Ka’arian kids from going into the Forest of Ghosts. If you are touched by a ghost, or associate with one, you’ll have a burn or a tattoo in the shape of a ghost on you. Ghosts are seen as dangerous(I can’t explain too much without spoiling the series) by the Forestrians, Charians, and Ka’arians. So parents strictly keep their kids from going towards the forest while they are young. Once kids get older and are 19/20, their Guardian will retire and they have learned to avoid the forest at all costs. No dares to go into the forest, no playing near the forest, no nothing with the forest. And the same goes for Guardians, unless a Ghosted(someone who has associated with ghosts, willingly or unwillingly, innocence doesn’t matter to the council) had ran off into the forest. Ghosted are normally executed, no matter the age. They are seen as dangerous and a threat. Ghosted are a huge controversial topic amongst the three races of Ka’ar, some argue that the kids shouldn’t be killed, others say they’re a threat. It’s all in how you see ghosts to be. Ace’s mom was a Forest wolf, a natural animal to Ka’ar, one of the first. The first guardians were a mix of them and a different species, more often known as The First Ones(they were the first of their kind, and died out when the guardians became a more dominant species). Guardians naturally thought they were better and forgot their Forest Wolf DnA, although the older Guardians still remember. They thought they were superior since they protected children from ghosts, and got to help the three races instead of staying in the forests like the wolves. Which makes this romance even harder to maintain. Ace’s mom stayed in the forest and rarely ventured out, while his dad was out in civilization, rarely going into the forest. Storyish time!)) The first time he met Ace’s mom was when he was sent on a chase to find a young kid who had ran once he was caught at the scene of the murder and fled. His leader, Tooth, has talked with the councilor before, sparking a bit of curiosity in him. Apollo(Ace’s dad) had caught the scent, the kid no older than 14, yet on the run. /There is more to this than meets the eye../ He thought, thinking about the recent events. It did seem a bit odd, like someone was wrongly judging someone here. It was most likely the case, Apollo never really trusted the councilors. The trail ended at an old ruin. Half the building was in the ground as it laid at an odd angle, ivy climbing up the sides of the cobblestone. “Look around, he’s here somewhere,” Tooth said, his grumbly voice echoing slightly. The forest itself provided light, fireflies glowing all over the place, giving it a certain charm. Apollo snorted as the scent of dead animals filled his nose. “Something’s dead back here-Oh First Ones- it’s a dead animal,” Apollo gagged. (Cont. in N&C)
Olivia - The Backseat Lovers Runestones belongs to me, along with the characters mentioned, unless said otherwise! Marcus was designed by @Aiosder Ace is my entry for @Mistcat ‘s Dta, which means that he is not my character! I’m still adding as I draw stuff for him, so check back occasionally and see if there’s anything new idk- Ace has a pet centipede that he’s named McRoy. He even made Roy a bow tie. It’s really small- Something that’ll probably happen at some point in Runestones: Dogwood steals McRoy for a day and Acey flips out. Marcus(designed by @Aiosder ) makes Dogwood give McRoy back, and this is how a blood feud starts- but eventually Dogwood helps out Ace and they become friends. All of this will probably end up being canon if I win him- (Cont. from story above- read the top part for it to make sense!) He looked behind the building and nosed a half eaten rabbit carcass. “Eww,” Deertail snickered, one of the other guardians on the retrieval mission. “Don’t poke it.” Tooth laughed, “Too late for that, Deertail.” Something moves inside the ruin, and Apollo’s head snapped up. So did Deertail, Tooth, and the other two guardians on the mission. Tooth motioned for Deertail and Apollo to go inside and get whoever was inside. Inside the ruin, Apollo felt the temperature drop a few degrees and shivered a little. “Hey! I’m innocent, I swear!” Someone cried as Deertail pounced on them. It was the kid they were looking for, a Forestrian who was named Kingston. He had a gash on his cheek, and was covered from scrapes, most likely from stumbling around in the forest. Apollo helped Deertail drag Kingston out, King protesting the entire time. “Please! I didn’t do it!” He cried as Tooth walked up I front of him. “Please.” Tooth growled and grabbed Kingston’s arm roughly, tracing the mark of the ghosted on his wrist with a claw. King paled a little. Apollo watched, dread filling him up. Ophelia was watching from the forest, making sure to not be seen. Tooth laughed at King’s fear, nodding towards Apollo and Deertail to keep King still. Placing a sturdy paw on his wrist, Apollo made sure Kingston couldn’t wiggle out and escape. Tooth grabbed his dagger from Blue, the weapons carrier. In a quick movement, Tooth had stabbed King in the chest, killing him. Ophelia’s head snapped up and she started to growl, more forest creatures slowly coming out of the forest and cornering Tooth, Deertail, Apollo, and the rest. “You will regret that,” Ophelia said, her honey-like voice had an edge to it. Tooth barked and farted out of the ring, Blue and Chase following after him. Deertail has curled up, not taking witnessing and being apart of a murder well. Seeing he had no choice but to follow Tooth, he jumped out of the ring of animals, and looked back, locking his gaze with Ophelia’s. She nodded, and Apollo turned back around and ran for his life. >>Aftermath: Apollo: He met again with Ophelia, ultimately falling in love with her. They spent their days together happy, until he was discovered with her and his three month old pup, Ace. There, he and Ophelia were murdered, Ace managing to get away. He was taken care of by a pride of lions, who took in many different animals, and occasionally ghosted Forestrians/Charians/Ka’arians. Deertail: Was never seen again after the incident, no one knows if he survived or not. Tooth: Stayed a troop leader until he died, being replaced by his son. ———————Done!————————— That turned out to be longer than I though, wow! Uh, I hope you like it I guess! *genuinely surprised that I managed to spoil nothing too bad for Runestones* I know most of the story is Apollo, but I can’t say too much for what I have planned for Acey without spoiling too much. If you’re not scared of spoilers, J may tell you if you ask, BUT I WILL SWEAR YOU TO SECRECY >:D Not letting anyone spoil anything before I’ve done anything with Runestones just yet! I’ve done a few doodles of Ace, his fam, and [McRoy the best centipede] McRoy is best centipede- Acey only eats half a strawberry. He won’t take it if it’s the whole thing xD
