Baggy Denim
Echo Larken
Echo's loves the feel of denim. And because his favorite color is blue what better way to express that than with a pair of blue jeans.
It's rare to find him without a pair of jeans on. He would wear them until they're wore down and tearing at the seams. Even then, you'll still see him with them. On very good occasions, you'll find him with a denim jacket.♥
Echo's style of wear is very simple. He never gushes over a pair of jeans, but if it's denim, he'll get them. No questions asked.
Julius Howell
Julius is baggy central! Skinny jeans or fitted shirts truly aren't his thing. Julius was never one to care about clothing. Just like Seiren, he goes to a second hand store to buy his clothes.
As a child, he was given hand-me-downs and the clothes were never the right size. As he got older, he realized that he liked clothes hanging off his body so he stuck with it.
Julius never sags his pants purposely; he wear a belt. But there have been days where he was constantly pulling them up. Lol his belt must have went missing. ;)
Well, that's all for today! Please come back tomorrow to check out the interview for Echo and Julius. :)
A bientot!
Finding your prey and loving a good fight
Echo Larken
So, Echo is a Hayden that hunts for his prey. He enjoys it so much, that you can almost call him sadistic.
He didn't always like hunting, in fact he loathed it and almost became vegan. But with the right teachings from an older sadistic fellow, his hatred turned into a pleasure like no other. He had to have a good hunt for his meals or it wouldn't be as satisfying.
Echo isn't evil, he just loves a good chase and if you run from him, you may end up as a full course meal. ♥
Julius Howell
Julius has his malicious moments as well. The way he shows this is through a good underground street fight.
Well, technically I wouldn't call it underground, but more so another place where gamblers can lose their money. It's totally legal in Black Phoenix, which is good for Julius because then he could knock around as many people as he wishes without being penalized.
Julius found his way there, because he was low on funds and needed a quick buck if he wanted to pay the rent on time. To make a long story short, a con-artist came to him filling his head up with lies that he seemed as if he could be a great fighter. What he didn't know was that Julius actually was and ended up losing more than he bargained for.
Well that's their hobbies for you all!
See you all tomorrow!

That's a foul & I scream for ice cream!
Echo Larken
I'm going to give you guys a little spoiler. There is a scene in the story where you see Echo's love for ice cream. In fact, he considers it as a good part of his dinner. It's his goal to taste every ice cream known to man and then probably one day, creating his own.
As a way to keep track of his goal, he collects ice cream cartons!♥
He has over 4 small cartons and he keeps them buried for him to come back to in the future. Like a squirrel with its nuts. Lol He hopes to have over one million cartons by age 100.
Julius Howell
Julius is our famous jock. In middle school, he was teased a lot for his size; small lanky thing he was. He got teased a lot and considered weak. One day, he decided to try out for the track team and Voila! Julius became the star.
He plays anything you could possibly think of, but his favorite sports are basketball and Track. If you don't see him on the field at his high school then you can catch him near his neighborhood at the local outside basketball court.
He also can't get enough of watching sports on TV. Albertos don't really have any major leagues, so he watches American or another's country's sports teams play.
What's your favorite food? Is it a junk food or something a little healthy? Do you like to play sports or laze around? Let me know in the comments below! :)
See ya tomorrow!

The love for art and a game of hacky sack
Echo Larken
(source)
Art is one of the things I can't get enough of. I even have friends whose whole lives revolve around art. So, you know, I decided to put this attribute in my main male cutie. Because, who doesn't love a man who splashes his emotions on a canvas?
When Echo was only a child, he lived in an unhealthy environment. A lot of his time was spent in brutal training and intense studying of the world. It was truly messing his mental state up. So, one day during a study session, he picked up his pencil and made his first drawing. Sadly, this was at the age of 10; doodling before that never crossed his mind. He found it help him clear his face and think of nothing but what was in front of him. Since then, he never put a pencil down.
(source)
Later it became apparent that sketches weren't enough. He made his first paints himself and began sculpting with dirt. He even found cutting paper into small snowflakes in the winter very entertaining.
These days, he's trying to find something new to make. Metal will probably become his new toy. ;)
Julius Howell
Julius is a little similar to Echo, although his training wasn't as rough. When he first moved to Black Phoenix, we was always angry. He never express his angry to anyone or took it out on anything. He bottle it up to a tee. Then, around middle school, his was introduced to the trust ol' hacky sack.
His first time playing with it, released, his mind from the distractions of the world and his life. At that moment, he sheded his first frustrated tears. Not out of sorrow or out of happiness. Julius was just angry. So angry that he bounced the hacky sack all way up in the sky and it completely disappeared.
He found his stress ball and since then, if he didn't have a hacky sack on hand, he'd find something to bounce off his foot.
What do you guys think? Are my characters unique? No? Tell me in the comments!
Until tomorrow!
See ya! ♥

Interview: Seiren Green
It's sad that this is our last day with Seiren, but don't worry! We'll be seeing her more in the Series! So,we shall give a closing ceremony by asking our protagonist a few questions!
1. What is your biggest regret in life?
Seiren: Well that depends. I have a lot of regrets, but I try my best not to dwell on the past. This is the here and now. If I continue looking at my mistakes, then I may as well not be alive.
2. Okay, well if you had the power to change anything in your lifetime, what would you change?
Seiren: But isn't that the same with having regrets? Okay, whatever. If there was anything I wanted to change, it'll be way before my feet hit this dirt. If my mom would have thought to live anywhere but Black Phoenix, maybe things would be better, I don't know.
3. You're contradicting yourself, Seiren. Wondering if your life could have been better is the same as regretting something with the life you have now. Wouldn't you think of that as dwelling?
Seiren: No, I wouldn't think of that as dwelling. That's wishful thinking. Go to the next question, already.
4. Fine. Who is the most important person or thing in your life.
Seiren: Running. If I had a body with limitless energy, then I swear I would run forever. Hey, if my legs were to get cut off right now, you'll have to kill me. Period.
5. Interesting. What is your greatest sin?
Seiren: ...Pride.
6. What are your thoughts on humanity?
Seiren: Honestly, I really can't stand humans, but I hate Haydens more and because of their stupid ways, I want to prove that no matter what my feelings are for my own kind, I refuse to let the Haydens destroy the human race.
7. Okay, Seiren. I only have enough time for one last question. What is your biggest wish?
Seiren: I wish I could leave Black Phoenix. But this isn't in wish form. I'm will leave this dump. No questions about it.
8. We'll see, Ms. Green. Well that's it for today! Say goodbye to the people who endured you for a whole week! :)
Seiren: Yeah see ya...
See you all next week! :D
