I could make a Google Drive later today and just make it open to all viewers so ~EVERYBODY~ would be able to see it. If that doesn't work for some people I'm open to suggestions for other platforms?
Yeah, that's the thing. For example, this is what we have in the RPG thread. If some of you cannot view that, please let us know.

Kudos for sticking it all together, but you missed out on Ruth's awesome troll hunting/knitting persona, and we couldn't be missing her! (I'm trying to do a troll hunters pic now so seeing only three on the list resulted in a "haaaang on a sec" moment :P )

I debated posting these, since my art skills are *cough* ...interesting, but there we go. I'm wearing a weird rendition of Lalli's dream-sequence uniform, because it is friggin' amazing  :)

((I looove everybody's contributions to this thread, they are all so imaginative and interesting, and the artwork is beautiful! I can only hope that this is not completely awful in comparison ;) )

Here is the link to the very WIP information station. Only thing that is up-to-date is the list of professions (and yes it really is up-to-date, KauniitaUnia is even on there :p)
Speaking of which, that's a really pretty rendition of the uniform! I love your penwork.

Adorable picture! You could easily be the Mikkel of a team. Speaking of it, how do you feel about performing surgeries? Hopefully you brought the sharpest knife in the pantry. And a shovel maybe. A shovel is good for fending off the grosslings and it doubles as a spatula.
The buying pastries part might be harder to pull off (cf the bonus comic).
I'd be fine with surgeries :P maybe. Depends how complicated they are O__O but common sense should prevail! ;P I actually used to get told a lot that I should go into medicine, but I'm not very good with theory haha. However, if you need precision slices and stitches and splints and dressings then *nods*. I /suppose/ a lot of stuff I know could carry over into more serious first aid... Except pumpkin carving. O___O
And I'm totally fine with blood. Unless it's animal blood. That makes me sad.

A shovel does sound handy! Usually, I prefer to just whollop things but if there's something sharp and metal involved then that would be extra good, especially with grosslings and the like.

Hmmmm...the pastries.... Do I work for money or pastries... Choices...

Awww thank you both!!! I am honestly so happy that you like it  :)

Simo Häyhä's story is pretty amazing, isn't it? It happened to be one of those random history facts that I had lying around in the cluttered mess that is my brain, so its weird but cool that I could somehow fit it into this context! I have a habit of spending hours researching interesting/odd things while procrastinating or bored, which is why I knew of that c:

Also the information station thingy looks great so far! It feels weird that I'm on something official-ish for this fanbase after just lurking around creepily for so long...

[EDIT: wait, am I allowed to use 'd*mn'? I don't know how strict the rules here are here, so I'll just remove it for now...]

I'm ready to get myself in this!
Will I ever be able to draw in a single artistic style for at least 1 week?

nop

ame: Francesca (writing my name cos people in the comments of the comic already mistake me for a french guy... I'll probably not going to forget it anytime soon)
Age: 17 (18 in may and very afraid)
Nationality: Italian Swedish
Area of birth: Ostersund
Gender: Female
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Military, Cleanser Scout (preferably a night one, but work is work)
Languages: :italy: :sweden: :iceland:(understands but doesn't talk or write too well(probably just lack of practice))

- her ancestors were a geek italian couple, who in the exact moment people vith the rash-illnes started to bite randomly other people, said with an epic voice: "Our time has come" and then they run away as far away from italy as they could trying to convince family and friends to join as well. They then stopped around Ostersund and tried to preserve their culture
- sometimes uses latinisms that no one usually understands
- cat-like person
- curious person
- initially joined the cleaners because she is a pyromaniac at heart, but after 2 years understood that she was more interested in exploring, so then she decided to became a scaut.
- always wanted to see those far cyties her ancestors came frome and that her elder family members always talked about.
-very lightly astigmatic, but enought to be annoying. (usually doesn't wear her glasses becous she simply forgets)
- pretty forgetful
- thinks finnish is a very funny lenguage (there are a lot of finnish names/words that in italian saund just hilarious/weird, the quality of the false friends (?) between ths two lenguages is the best thing ever)

Edit: forgot some very important parts of my personality last night
- So sassy she can't control it
- Strong mentality of "I rather cry or make fun of it than cry or panic"
- her laughter sounds like a mixture of hiccups and a dying chiken

P.S. drawing mysel not-chibi and without partial cat-like feathures has been extremly difficoult.
