i didn't really have a guess. i just knew it wasn't korean and probably wasn't chinese (though some chinese names have surprised me)

i guess that would make sense. that's something i've been thinking about with our current rp. cuz like i have this world conceptualized as a place where homophobia and the like just don't exist. and that gender is almost irrelevant for who you think may be your matches?

It's true I don't always get Chinese and I don't know Thai and Vietnamese well enough, but I'm good at picking out Japanse. Hawaiian names are interesting though.

Yeah. It's so interesting and the marks and all the possibilities of it and even the detail of tattoos. We can do so much with it though it's still a lot less extensive than I crave right now.

yeah. I can pick out Thai know though as a language cuz if it's an asian looking language with a lot of Ps in it. it's most likely Thai.
I don't know much about Hawaii though

hahahah yeah. i just keep thinking about it. and i've used it as the basis for a lot of characters actions
but it's not as extensive as it could be.

ah yeah. I just don't look at it a lot.
I use Keone for a character name. Anahi and sounds like that are Hawaiian.

I could be more extensive yeah. We can build more in still because this is only the start of course. It will get more detailed.

it was something i noticed watching some show that was in Thai and i was like ok then. i'll remember that from now on
ah yeah. my knowledge of hawaiian names is limited to lili and stitch character names

lol yep and i think we should build more in too.

nice.
I spent a while looking through pages of them when naming Keone.

Feel free too it. I haven't thought as much about the world, but throw stuff out there and I'll talk back.

hahahaha yeah. that'll do it

mmkay. anther thing i've been thinking about. mostly cuz of his parents and having to write them. is how the traditional/ nontraditional line would split.
i mean the tattoos obviously.
but i've been trying to figure out dating practices... and how that split would work there. i haven't come up with any solid idea yet though

yeah, we need to detail that because I know Tavis' family is not traditional. And I know his uncle (who's about 30) has not found his mate yet. I want to know how that is viewed with his family and the rest of society.
I'm not sure either. Other than it seems a traditional would be less likely to date someone there's no chance is their mate.

yeah but i do believe there has to be some sort of dating culture. cuz the marks being so personal and not always in convenient locations.

oh that's something i hadn't considered. i think it would definitely be considered an anomaly.

lol and i totally just got the thought of like a poly threesome each having two marks and just being like O.o

yes some. But I think it would be a bit of...this person has a right feel to be my mate. It's possible, so we will try and see. And of course not everyone is going to recognize their mark even if they see it. But there would be less of a dating just for pleasure and short term.

I've envisioned as something of an outcast artist. How much of that is self-imposed and how much he's odd, I don't know. But he will play a part. Tavis is probably more influenced by his uncle than anyone else.

I've actually thought about this!! It could be two separate marks. It would be funny because then it's, 'oh, I have a mark on my ankle...and my back. this does not bode well.' But it would almost fit better and be kinda significant if the marks were intertwined into one. Like a snake curled over a sun. To the observant eye, you could probably figure it's two very different things together and therefore might be more than one person. But also leaves some room to be surprised.

yeah. everything is dating with intent. but i'd say in a younger culture there'd also be a rising more casual dating. or casual sex like thing. that what the older generation would like

i'd think it could be something of. maybe society pities him. and he doesn't like that so he outcast himself

i like the entwined. cuz like it's more truthful. plus it'd just look hella cool

yeah, I figure its like that. The more non-traditional side would birth the causal scene. And I think the most non-traditional characters are Erik and Javi. They seem to enjoy being bachelor and also play with the soulmate system as shown in their intro where they made some scheme to help people find their mates for profit. Their attitude about it is flippant. But they should totally test their system and find their mates that way.

That would work. I think his family does shun him though. he's a 'bad influence' for multiple reasons.

It really is significant and meaningful that way.

lol just yes. and i want them to be resistant to the idea of mates. less because they don't like the person but more cuz they just don't want to give up bachelorhood. and one of them being like almost immediately whipped. would also be hysterical.
and then you have davvin who i love my boy. he's a complete romantic. but he's also not like completely traditional either.

lol yeah. and him not having a mate could just prove he's a bad seed rather than be like the end all be all of it all?

it is. and it more fitting of what the relationship should be.

I don't know who to pair them with. They're such a duo to me too. But like, they would so screw up and just end up happy as can be.
Tavis might be more traditional than Davvin. Which is weird.

What??
I think he has a mate, but secluding himself has not helped. It'd be interesting to find his later in life don't you think?

exactly. We need to put this in the story somewhere.

lol they would. which is perfect. I think one of them needs to be with one of Davvin's friends. just cuz. or one could be with Phoenix would would be even funnier.
lol yeah. but it almost make sense. less traditional family raising a kid that's more traditional. and more traditional raising a kid whose not cuz he rebels. like random fact, davvin's not a virgin. like just can't conceptualize him as one.

well i just meant. the family thinks he's a bad seed. and since it took him so long to find his mate. they could be like 'see he's really a bad seed, this last thing just proves it.'

yes it would be cool to incorporate in some way. though how majorly... idk.

Phoenix and Naoko isn't a thing? But I figure they've got to be with Davvin's friends if they're with anyone. They're probably the best bet at creating a trio if you want to try it out, ya know. Don't know how well it would work, but no one else comes to mind.

It does make sense. And like, I'm pretty sure Davvin was his first real kiss unless Erik or Javi stole one from Tavis before.

Ah, okay. There were too many words in your previous explanation to follow.

What color eyes does KR have?

Sorry if me randomly asking questions on here is annoying, but I feel like this is the best place to find you two!

it is the best place to find us.
brown??

yeah both Hyunki and KR are gonna have brown eyes as they are Asian

lol they think it's a thing (or at least davvin does). doesn't mean he's right though.
lol yeah but i'm trying to picture that group of characters in a trio and i can't do it? like in any combo

hahahahaha. I LOVE OUR CHARACTERS! so backwards from what you would expect. so amazing

yep it's the best place to find us Chikyu. no concerns

I'm still thinking. It would have to be Erik, Javi, and someone. Or Phoneix, Naoko, and someone. Because they could be a thing, but only part of a thing.

I love our characters too. Main ones, side ones, everyone that is to come. It's just so fun.

erik, javi, and elliot would be fun. cuz elliot would totally be the mellow piece for that crazy. lol yeah.

they're all so interesting.

Okay, thank you both! And I do love drawing your characters, such colorful dudes!

I feel like this is your hangout place XD

I like the idea of Erik/javi/elliot better than anything else. I'm not sure how it would work out.

this is totally our hangout.

Well since I'm here, I might as well ask if you would like Hyunki and and KR in the same pic. Since KR is the leader, he could be talking to Hyunki in the dance room or hyunki could be showing some moves to him?
But if you want them separate, then that's fine too! You may want them in separate pics for when creating character profiles. But it's all up to you!

hahaha well they are kpop idols Chikyu. They gotta be colorful!
I'd rather them be separate. While KR is a social butterfly, Hyunki likes to be alone, and would definitely take to taking alone time in the practice room.
it's totally our hangout

yeah it seems to be the only combo that makes any sort of sense
