Question here, how do you peeps change the font in your CSs? Not that I'm working on one while Barachiel waits for the chocolate shop to open...

Are Sphinxes a possibility, to a certain extent?

[Ebonsquire]

@MiddleEarthRoze

What would they look like and what sort of abilities/strengths/weaknesses would they even have?

[MiddleEarthRoze]

@Ebonsquire

Humanoid, obviously. I'm thinking of have them evolve/breed out of their original form, only retaining a few of things left over. Which will be mainly claws, fangs, maybe wings? Still dithering over that one; anyway, these things will only come out when they want it to - like the Wendigo.
Going to do something with riddles too. Can't have a Sphinx without riddles. XD

Welp, I wanna sit at the cool kid table so here's a thing. If I missed someone it's probably because I'm lazy and didn't look beyond the lovely people over in the characters tab.

Mariska Costas' Relationships

Mariska Costas

Blake Preston
"Well if nothing else she seems to be doing exactly what she wants to do with her life. What that is I don't know, but I'm not her mother."

I really can't get past her...I hesitate to call it 'style' but the right word is failing me. I've met enough like her to know that she's reaching that age when being the little rebel stops seeming cool. Let's be honest here, it's 2020, flannel stopped being 'in' in the mid 1990s. She seems a bit...temperamental but I have nothing against her. Other than disagreeing with her fashion, but that's a different story.

Daniel Belson
"Pretty face. Ugly habits."

I've had the distinct...pleasure of being around when he was behind the bar and my little ears were burning and it wasn't from all the smoke and hard liquor. I believe he might not be as funny as he believes himself to be, but I'm not going to be the one to tell that to him.

Alistair Queen
"He has the name of a knight in armor and that's all I need to know."

I can't quite confirm it, but my working theory is that he and I dress ourselves for similar reasons. In that we're both wanting to look older than we, well, look. But I'm actually aging and I'm not so sure he is. Landlords don't look like him.

Mariska Costas
"Why hasn't that girl won a Grammy? Or at least a BRIT?"

I'm lovely. I also tell people I'm from Greece because it makes me sound far more cultured.

Nikita Yankovsky
"I'd like to have a rasp-off with her. Because of the voice, you see."

I can't imagine the sort who wouldn't mind being thrown in cuffs so long as she was the officer on site. Lovely sort, but I can't imagine her to ever find love. Something about her just makes me think the romantic life would bore her to tears. And that's tragic.

Mordred Hame
"The Salieri to my Mozart. I respect him as a creative, enough so to let him live with me."

Mordred is a fine friend even if our favored styles of music are diametrically opposed. He might not know it, but I'm a fan of his, not his music exactly but of his success. I wish him well and my door is always open for the strangest collaboration this side of David Bowie and Bing Crosby.

John Taylor
"Some people once said that boys and girls could never be friends. I point to John Taylor and myself."

You'd think someone who wears sweat pants wouldn't be someone I'd want to associate with...but what can I say, he makes a half decent meal. My art is music and his is ink and skin, but art is art and it helped to have that in common. He's a good mate and definitely the best one I've roomed with.

Eve Lumière
"Until I met Eve I thought that my voice was striking. It's not fair. The French have all the best benefits."

She's a lovely sort and I really can't think of anything bad to say about her. Granted we're not exactly close friends, but when you've been around striking individuals as often as I have...you get a sense for these things. And my sense says she's lovely.

Catharine Reid
"I wonder if event planning is anything at all like a talent agency. I've been looking for a manager for decades, and she seems...fierce."

For someone so short the few times I've seen her she's looked like someone carrying a giant chip on her shoulder. I don't know why or what or even where...only that I hope someone takes her by the hand and tells her that everything is fine.

Opallum
"I've seen him around outside the flat and I always wonder if I should spare a few pounds."

I don't have the courage to ask him if he's got a substance problem and that's kind of a rude thing to ask anyway. He seems interesting, in the sense that he's not just another grungy British youth.

Andrew Mordekai
"His cause is noble. I'm not so sure he is."

People like Andrew tire me out. I always suspect the loudest voices in the protest to be the least honest ones, but that's probably because I've been to far too many in my life.

Suriel White
"I'm jealous because Suriel looks better in a suit than I do."

I don't know what neurosurgery is but I do know that Suriel is probably really, really good at bedside manner. It's all in the eyes.

Miles Catrose
"He's the cutest thing. The cutest. And if he heard that he'd probably hate me."

I'd never let him touch my hair. He's like a cute little dog, except he also is the type of dog that would bite you and not let go. So I don't want him plus a pair of scissors anywhere near me.

Yukiko Abe
"She works with John and he's a good judge of character, so she's fine with me. Another artist. I like artists."

I don't know why she hasn't settled down with someone. I'm a fan of romance and it just sort of seems, to me anyway, that she's someone that would've been swept off her feet before now. Maybe I should have her and John meet...but then they work together so if it was going to happen it would've by now. I'm projecting.

Mona
"It's at the Louvre and has been since the late 1700s."

Wait this isn't about the Mona Lisa?

Faron Romane
"He seems like a good kid but I can't say I've seen him anywhere other than in passing."

The biggest takeaway was that he was really tall and that made me feel...not short but...I don't know...small.

Nicolas Black
"I know enough to not want to make him angry, even if the idea of an angry handsome sort has all sorts of wonderful connotations to it."

I have a long standing bet with a friend. My money is on he and Nikita using various rooms of the station for their own highly steamy hook ups. Or maybe that was in a trashy book I skimmed. Nice to think about, though, right?

Maggie Spencer-Adyemi
"She reminds me of a young me, in that I remember a time when I cared about nature too."

She seems to keep to herself which is fine by me. I worry that she's not going to get the true university experience and make a lot of mistakes in the name of experimentation, but she's at that age. Or at least looks like it, hard to tell. No qualms. Would be surprised to see her in a bar.

Megumi
"On principle the only kid I want to know is my own. If I ever get such a gift."

I really have nothing on her. She's too young to even enter the thoughts that go through my head.

Katharine Haynes
"How many baristas are in this town. I'm not sure who Katharine is. Is she the event planner?"

I'm not much for coffee so I guess I don't have anything. Sorry.

Felix Underwood
"I've sort of just put her together with that Maggie girl and the grungy girl in the boots."

Those three sort of pool together in my mind, in the sense that I'm always thinking that they're hooking up. A quiet girl like Maggie and what a librarian? That's like feta cheese on a salad levels of perfect.

Elise Callaghan
"Someone I'd very much like to meet on a professional level. At first, anyway."

A fellow musician and a violinist at that. I don't know if she'd ever be up for a collaboration but my door is always open.

Claire O'Malley
"I don't trust anyone that is a Manchester United fan."

I've made myself clear.

Barachiel Alexander Eamon
"I don't know any Barachiel. I know an Alexander but I don't think it's the same person. Sorry, I don't know half the people I'd like to."

He's got a unique name. I wonder if Suriel knows him. Kinda similar names. Maybe they're related. Or having a fling. Hoping for the latter.

Ethan Cooper
"Sorry, not ringing any bells. I don't really make my way to universities unless they pay me."

I'm sure he's a lovely sort.

Alfie Liau
"I'd give him more business but chocolates and I have had a falling out."

My reasons are shallow, but I've pictured him and that cute hair stylist together since the day I made the mistake and thought they were the same person. Sometimes all it takes to make a connection is a similar style.

Astrid Kitchener
"I like the bistro she works at. They do a good, crisp salad. Haven't really gotten a lot of words out of her, but she's unique enough that I can put the name to a face."

My heart goes out to the young people that do thankless jobs for cash they desperately need. I hope she's enjoyed the tips.

Michael Harel
"Nice to look at, but he'd be more so if he put more effort into his clothing style. If I'm talking about appearances it's because it's all I've got."

Whenever I find myself at his record store it's specifically to shop. My interactions with him have been of the 'here's some money for this Ella Fitzgerald record that I now own seven copies of'.

Aila Atleo
"I've seen her around, sometimes just in passing...mostly so...and every time I have to ask myself if I should start working out more. Or at all. To be young and fit. Use whatever definition of fit you'd like."

She works down at the station, right? I'm waiting for the day I see her out with Nikita or Nicolas so that I can add another face to my list of 'people that should be hooking up with each other'.

Stefani Roche
"Also works with John, so I bet he's elated to have those coworkers. Or not, she seems kinda young. But she definitely uses that youth to her advantage, or if she isn't then she really should."

I'm not sure if we have anything in common but she seems, and I don't use this word lightly, cool. As cool as the young people can be, anyway. The friend of my friend is also my friend to be.

@Fabricant451

_{psst. You missed out Stef - babu vampire.}

[Ebonsquire]

Cleared up my latest post. Wouldn't make sense for humans to just be like "oh hey that guy's producing fire from his fingers haha" so I stamped that little hole out.

[Fabricant451]

@MiddleEarthRoze_{Don't tell anyone oh gosh oh gosh i'll never be cool also it's been fixed}

[HalfOfLancelot]

@MiddleEarthRoze

The GM Team knows I have the biggest boner for Rami Malek. And damn you making Sphinx Rami (I'm guessing because he's actually Egyptoan how dare)

Also I'm glad you all like Mike's song choices ;D I'm tempted to switch out Hungry Like a Wolf and give it to Nick...

Or Werewolf in London.

Ahaha

Ahahah

(I'm not above making puns with oldies)

[Ghost Queen]

Looks like a wendigo to me.

[/reference]

@Fabricant451

I see what you did there.

[HalfOfLancelot]

@Fabricant451

You do know Michael's going to sing as many Ella songs to her as he can. To the point she comes in and he just starts a medley from behind the counter.

[Fabricant451]

@HalfOfLancelot That might actually turn out to be a good way to get repeat business out of her.

Especially if he starts with Summertime

Hey as a heads up my first Aila IC post is coming in hot in about ten-twenty minutes. I'd really appreciate some feedback on it if anyone feels like being critical/helpful.

[13Nightingale]

Not sure whether to make a half Demon character or go full demon
