|
|
So... okay, I'm just flipping through the pages and the characters, and the Royals, and a few odd thoughts came to me:
1) I just realized I'm not the only wolverine... though I think Brandon must spend a lot of time pruning roses, where else would he get so many scars from. But, yay for the wolverine pack
2) Mystic... did you know you kinda look like those cat-priestessess from the old Bucky O'Hare comic book? I think that's awesome! (and, yes, I'll probably have to lose my 80s membership card for the sheer number of the uses of awesome I've done)
3) We have two Royals who are involved in the maritime industries... Tursi and Jimmy West
4) Lord Nelson is the only actual landowner we have... that and his way of speaking is really double-plus-groovy!
5) Bobby Stone is the only Royal who wears glasses... I'm not counting Lord Nelson's monacle.
6) Apparently it must be temperate in Bon Bon... twelve of the Royals have long-style, duster coats
7) Jillian is dichromatic!
Yeah, I know... I probably spend waaaaaaaay too much time looking at all the Royal pics, but... they're so awesome. Each of them just has so much... character to them. From Lord Nelson, to Captain Merriwether, to Ms. Fortuna, to madam Belle. It's really cool how each character is so unique and individualized. |

She does?

SHE DOES! Awesome!
Sorry, I didn't mean to miss you Dr. Fuchs. I'm usually too busy staring at how pretty your hair is. |

I think you meant to say Robert Stone the male badger. ^^!
Sorry, but I was looking for "Bobby Stone" at the Four Aces Suite, but I couldn't find it until I notice that Robert have the same last name, so I assumed that you meant to say "Robert" instead of "Bobby." ^^! |

Actually "Bobby" or "Bob" is a variation on the name "Robert" so Caroline is correct. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

(and, yes, I'll probably have to lose my 80s membership card for the sheer number of the uses of awesome I've done) | Yeah, Labrn has already commented on both the characters Labrn and Mystic being based on the feline Aldebaran race from that comic. Of course, I suppose that fact would still come up from time to time, especially with the new folks.
Quote: | 3) We have two Royals who are involved in the maritime industries... Tursi and Jimmy West | I actually didn't even notice that myself. Good eye.
Quote: | 4) Lord Nelson is the only actual landowner we have... that and his way of speaking is really double-plus-groovy! | Yes, the rest of us are wanders, squatters, or tourists, apparently.
Quote: | 6) Apparently it must be temperate in Bon Bon... twelve of the Royals have long-style, duster coats | Well, we are in the mountains, dear. I know I was personally basing mine on the style of coat Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp wore in Tombstone.

Although it has yet to be revealed in comic, my avatar amassed interest in several BonBon businesses after a winning streak in the casinos and purchased land outside of BonBon. Here's hoping my avatar premieres the Zone Cartoon at his newly finished estate in comic, an ivory tower on a cliff overlooking BonBon on the opposite end of the valley where Scarlett's castle lies.

But looking at what the female avatars are wearing, it's really HOT in Bon Bon.
and regarding occupations, we have three musicians, three professional gamblers, two wealthy British gentlemen, and two I think of as unemployed
and I just looked at their ages. It appears that there are 10 who are in their thirties, which is more than I thought, while the rest are in their twenties. _________________ Constance Mayflower's bio

Cool. Didn't know that. :3
Thank you for correcting me.
Edit: I'm Sorry, Ms. Caroline, for thinking you made a mistake on the name. ^^!

I'd also like to add that "Bill" can sometimes be used as a short-hand version of "William" |

Only as far as member-member relations go. You can't really forget that the Delight Castle, as well as the streets, have plenty of company to be offered to a man, even if they aren't actual members. |

I wrote on how he got most of those scars, mainly the unseen ones covering his back.
You can read it here if you wish. Part 3. Would take too long to explain here. |

You do that, too, Caroline? I can't resist going over the Four Aces suite with a demographer's comb, tallying up little factoids like that and doing some basic statistics.
For example, of the females currently with avatars, we have three vixens, three mustelids (I *think* otters are mustelids. I forget), an equine, two felines, and you, of course. However, despite having a number of male wolves and other canines, we have *no* female canines or lupines. But a high proportion of females are vixens, whom I guess are perceived as a more 'feminine' variant of canines. Also of note in the female subset of the whole is that it contains the entirety of avatars with unnatural or extremely unusual pigmentation, ranging from Jillian's dichromia to three that are entirely bright pink or blue.
As for occupations/education, we have four entertainers, two skilled craftswomen, one physician, and you, our tobbaccinist, whom I am not sure how to categorize, yet.
In addition, I feel I must commend you for being the only female that can wear a shirt off the rack without worrying about tearing. I certainly wish I could wear a normal blouse at times... 'hanging out' is unprofessional.
As for the males, thanks to a far higher sample size, a much larger variety in species, appearance, and profession is visible. Great cats, small cats, bats, canines, lupines, vulpines, a wolverine, even a reptile and ursine... Oddly only one mustelid, very low compared to the female ratio. 1:30 compared to 1:3. Also very odd is we do not have a single, solitary lapine or other rodent among the members' ranks. No procyonidae, either. Violet must get lonely.
We need more rodents. Especially rats. I love rats. Where is Chaos when you want him?
Anyway, sorry for babbling, but I love these kinds of things. And thanks a bunch about my hair, Caroline. You seem as sweet as you look. _________________ "Doktor! Are you sure this will work?!" "HAHA! I HAVE NO IDEA!" |

A little correction, Kommy, but Wolverines are also mustelids, as are Badgers. That means, besides Simon Pilkington (skunk), Brandon Megedagik (wolverine) and Robert Stone (badger) are also included in the mustelid count, making it 3. This also means that the female mustelid count rises to 4, and includes Jessica Belle (skunk), Jillian Sullivan (otter), Lidia Apricot (ferret), AND Caroline Wellwater (wolverine).
As far as what a tobacconist counts as, I'd say it's a "merchant". I'm also not sure where you got four "entertainers" from, I've only counted two: Chessy, the dancer, and Symphony, the singer. Unless you're counting Scorpia, who's an artist... don't know that I would categorize artists as "entertainers" per se. And what do you categorize Jessica's masseuse skills as? General health care? Homeopathic medicine? And what about our two skilled/unskilled laborers? Lidia's a hard-working maid, and Katrin is... er, well, apparently open for any kind of job, whatever that means. _________________ Johnny's Fanfics (including Sureshot! A Bon Bon Tale)

Well, I was counting our masseuse as an entertainer and the artist as well, though I admit that's probably not quite right.. And Katrin as... well, unemployed. As Sun Tzu might say, one who does everything does nothing.
Thanks for the correction regarding mustelids, though. I should check my work on taxonomy instead of just going by memory all the time. For a moment, I thought wolverines were another canine off-shoot, like vulpines. Should've caught the badger as a mustelid, at least. _________________ "Doktor! Are you sure this will work?!" "HAHA!
