 my ssssona~
name: klarissa
nationality:danish
job: medic
immunity:yes

appearance: brown hair hazel eyes.
height: 4''7' weight : 83lbs
age:28
backstory:
she comes from a long line of medics, starting with her great great grandfather, who survived the rash illness, and decided to stay in Denmark. she grew up in the town of copenhagen, with another sibling, who died in an early age due to an accident. all her family lives next to each other, but she insisted on moving further away, because she couldn't deal with all the loud noises and family drama.so she moved away,and she now lives by herself, with cats, and is leading a quiet life.
personality: she is quite shy, and hates loud noises, big crowds, and rude people.
she is super nice, but if you attack any of her friends, family, or cats, she will destroy you :)
she is an organized person, and has a calming affect on people

She's so cute! I like her hair :)  Also yay, a medic; can't have too many of those.

I'm having a bit of trouble attempting to find where I could post little vignettes of my (future) self-insert character with members of the actual comic crew. Could anyone kindly steer me in the right direction?

So my aunt's parents own an art-store in CA which is basically the best thing ever because it means whenever we visit we get a 20% family discount, and my mom brought me home some markers, which I've been trying to figure out how to use.

I have a fairly limited palette (Even 20% off, expensive markers are expensive), but if anyone can give me some tips for improvement that would be awesome!

Your character is beautiful and I'd love to draw her!

1.That looks pretty cool!

2. Oh thank god yes this is great. Do you want a story or a drawing? And if you want a story please give a vague hint at the very least of what you want.

I'm happy a bit of trouble attempting to find where I could post little vignettes of my (future) self-insert character with members of the actual comic crew. Could anyone kindly steer me in the right direction?

A little birb told me that Mélusine will be making a thread for the stories very soon! Not sure when because her house is currently being invaded by social people, but soon for sure. :3c

THIS! I'd love to have something real to put on the infodump instead of my terrible absolutely amazing edit.

Progress pic of Bosse:
Spoiler: show


Very very heavily referenced from this cat. I have a plan for a full figure Bosse for the infodump, but this was what I could fit in on my original sketch.

I’m not sure where I’m going with this since I can’t draw for toffee, but I figured I might as well jump on the bandwagon while I can!

  • Name: Julian Adamsson
  • Age: 27
  • Nationality: Swedish
  • Area of birth: Mora
  • General appearance: ginger, blue eyes, slightly emaciated, glasses, etc. Last seen out of a lab coat sometime before the Danish defeat at Kastrup.
  • Occupation: academic (an acceptable knowledge of a couple of disciplines but specialises in research chemistry and biochemistry. Has to do drudge-level admin as well)
  • Immunity: no
  • Languages: Swedish, Icelandic. Knows enough Finnish to ask “Can you put me on the next boat back to Sweden please?”
  • Having spent his whole life in the safe lands of Mora, Julian is your average arrogant Swede. He firmly believes in the excellence of Swedish engineering, military tactics, culture – you name it, the Swedes are the best at it, whatever those idiots in Iceland say.
  • Do not get him started on magic and mages. He believes it’s unreliable and unscientific and that placing too much trust in the whims of the gods (who he doesn’t believe in) is setting you up for a fall. This might have something to do with the Nordic Council constantly denying his lab funding in favour of the mage academy in Reykjavik.
  • He has had a part to play in a number of projects at the laboratory complex where he works. These include: an advanced reactive armour system for the new Dalahästen-II train (that never got built), a hotter-burning flamethrower fuel for the cleansers (that nearly killed three people), a project to enhance the energy density of battery tech (that fries every circuit they hook it up to), and a series of initiatives to synthesise medicinal biomolecules from wood pulp (which didn’t work). Noticing a pattern here?
  • Perhaps because he’s never met a live one that wasn’t contained behind six centimetres of armoured glass, he’s fascinated with trolls and the infected in general. He’s recently been making some worrying noises about how useful the Rash’s mutagenic abilities would be if it could be harnessed somehow, which have earned him some very hard stares from his supervisors. He applied to work at the same lab that Siv worked at once, but they semi-politely turned him down.
  • Because of his litany of academic failure, he’s always on the lookout to make a quick kronor or two out of his work any way he can. Hasn’t found one yet, but the hunt continues. [But what’s this – a second expedition he can ride the coattails of? *scurries off to the Squad Organisation thread*]
  • He’s still very low down on the academic food chain but has his sights set firmly on the top – where he hopes, if he ever gets there, he can turn the tables on those Odin-fearing, Edda-thumping snobs in Reykjavik and get their funding cut for a change.
  • Socially, he’s quite shy but fairly friendly and talkative once you get to know him. He’s also prone to cursing a lot when things go wrong, or even when they don’t, often switching to the dead language of English to do so (a habit he learned from his grandfather). Suffers from mild neuroticism and can be a bit of a control freak, and often needs someone to tell him to calm down.
  • Don’t give him more than one cup of coffee a day. No-one’s quite sure what happens when you do, but everyone’s sure they don’t want it to happen again.

I’ve just realised as I put this together that it might come across like this guy’s meant to be some sort of attack on the (moderately high) number of mages here – that’s not the case! I just feel that if I were transplanted into the world of SSSS, I’d be a bit dismissive of magic right up until someone mage-slapped some sense into me.  :D
Like I say, I can’t draw so this guy’s probably going to remain faceless.

Oh gosh, we need to keep this guy so very, very far away from Mikkel.

    Well, like I said, someone needs to mage-slap some sense into me  :D

    And I would be honoured if you did!

    Put it this way: the last time I drank too much coffee in an academic environment I ended up with paracetamol crystals in my hair and hydrochloric acid burning a (small) hole through the leg of my jeans.

    And that was under close supervision.
