Contest

The Gatekeepers

That's right. This time the contest is to draw and I's characters, Alix and Stary


Theme
The theme is to draw Stary and Alix off on an adventure Wherever you want. They hop dimensions, meaning anything is possible.


Guidelines


Your picture Must contain AT LEAST both sisters. Additional characters are alright, if you want to add them in, too.


Be sure to include what world they're in (It doesn't have to be named, it can be "random demonic world B" or something.) State the genre


Make sure you pay attention to what the girls usually dress in. The outfit really makes the character


Try your hardest! You will be judged on effort and originality rather than copious amounts of skill.


The Characters

Stary Hayden

Name: Staryana Hayden (Stary for short)
Age: She looks like she's in her late teens-early twenties, Her ID says 27, if you add all of the years she's spent in other worlds together, she's 723 years old.
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 120lbs
Eye: Metallic/ harvest gold
Hair: Bronze, reaches her waist. Bangs are primary blue and reach her collar bone
Build: Willowy and leggy
Personality: Optimistic, outgoing, determined, naive, sweet-natured, opinionated, stubborn, kind. She's the lighter and friendlier of the two
Style: She wears a lot of blue and white, sometimes black, sometimes red, and occasionally pale gold. It really depends on what world she's in and what is par. She never wears blindingly bright colors (Orange, yellow, ect.) or green. She likes short sleeves, hoodies, and almost always wears long pants, unless it is par for her to be wearing otherwise. It all depends on the world.
Strengths: Fantastic leader, Works impossibly well in a team with Alix, very magically inclined, fast, quick thinker, driven
Weaknesses: easy to frighten/manipulate, trusts too easily, naive, not physically strong, susceptible to darkness
Abilities: Stary is powerful in magic where Alix is not, and is weak in physical abilities where Alix is strong. She prefers to use pole-arm weapons and magic when fighting and is very fast. She relies heavily on her light abilities, as she has a naturally good aura, and experience with dealing with dark-based beings. Her light usually just envelops her as an aura, but can be embewed into objects that she comes in contact with. She is a very powerful healer, as Alix gets hurt frequently, and her healing spells are some of her most powerful. She does not wield dark magic well, and only has a few of those spells in her repertoire.

Alix Hayden

Name: Alixandra Hayden
Age: 28. Looks about 20 or a little older, actually is 856.
Height: 5’2”
Weight: 94lbs
Eyes: Very bright clear green. Emerald forest green.
Hair: Gold-brown, the same shade as really dark brown sugar. Usually worn long, anywhere from brushing her shoulders to all the way to her hips. Her bangs fall to her chin.
Build: Curvy, but has a small frame. More leg then body. She’s slender on the skinny side of things and has fine features. Her eyes are quite large and she has high cheekbones.
Personality: Snarky and sarcastic, a lot of Alix’s personality is based around survival. She’s got some serious trauma in her past and it shows in the way she acts. She is always armed and does not often touch casually. Alix smirks and snickers often but doesn’t usually smile or laugh for real. Despite this, Alix is a good person with a deep loving streak for the people who matter to her. She’d do anything to protect her sister and friends. Alix loves children.
Style: Sexy but practical. Alix usually wears black jeans or tight black leather pants with a black tanktop in modern worlds, and green or grey shirts in medieval worlds. She has a navy blue coat that she wears almost everywhere that is ankle length, and has a small zipper to the waist. It is trimmed in pale grey. Alix always wears fingerless gloves and she can fight easily in all the clothing she owns. Her normal colors are greens, darker blues, grays, and black. She never wears red, orange, yellow, or purple.
Strengths: Alix is very loyal, loves deeply, and never gives up.
Weaknesses: Alix doesn’t trust anyone fully except Stary. She doesn’t give people the benefit of the doubt, and she doesn’t give second chances. She is terrified of being chained down and of loosing control of her power. Her greatest fear is that she’ll fall into darkness and turn evil.
Abilities: Enhanced speed, strength, and dexterity, can not see illusions, can take a lot of physical damage before she collapses or dies.
Alix is almost 900 years old and has spent most of her life studying martial arts of all types. She carries handguns, a specially modified shotgun, two wakizashis, and any number of other things. The swords and shotgun are worn across her back, though not at the same time, and the handguns are worn strapped to her thighs and to a belt around her waist.
