Winners!

Okay then, I had wanted to wait for confirmation from Josie about whether a New Zealander came up with Tane, but I've run out of time. So, basically, I have chosen the two characters who seem to work best with each other, regardless of who thought them up.

The male character is Tane Aiavao, as put forward by Josie. This was her description:


Tane Aiavao. (Pronounced Tah-neh Eye-a-voh)

Since this is an entry from New Zealand, why not chuck some ethnicity in there? This dude's Maori.

As per usual, Tane is dark skinned, huge brown eyes (so they can do the eye-popping pukana at the end of rugby hakas to scare the crap out of you) and has short tousled dark brown hair. He can also have tattoos, maybe even a Maori pattern on half his face. Around mid twenties. Oh, and huge grin. 


He's pretty laid back, takes things as they come, never has a plan (eg, never knows what he's doing until he's doing it) and pretty happy with everything. Probably a bit of a coward, but hilarious without knowing it. Interested in girls, food and explosions (especially those on video games). I would reckon he is an Elemental. Little bit of a rookie with the magic, but is a brilliantly quick learner.

The female character is Hayley Skirmish, as created by Sparky Braginski. I have a feeling Sparky will be a tad delighted to have won this...  This was her description:

Hayley Skirmish

Appearance- 17, Athletic build, Taller than average. Wears a leather jacket at all times. Blue eyes. Her hair is brown with blondes streaks. Has perfectly white teeth. Wears scuffed jeans. Never wears shoes.



Magic- The ability to run up walls and and upside down. She can also flip with ease. Basically her magic is and combination of Tanith's and Springheeled Jack's.



Personality- Has very strong opinions, and you can't change what she believes in. Always says what she thinks, regardless of how other will respond. She is Australian and has an Aussie accent. She is good, but is involved in a feud against the Aussie Sanctuary, because she's a bit like a modern Robin Hood.


As usual with these things, the standard was EXTREMELY high. In the end, it came down to picking two characters who would make the most unlikely- and therefore the most fun- partners. So now we have Tane's laid-back attitude contrasted with Hayley's no-nonsense approach, and when we put them in a highly dangerous situation we get, well, a story...

Hopefully...

Well done to the creators, and hard luck to those whose ideas weren't picked. Remember, it's not because your creations weren't good enough, it just came down to what I need at this particular time.

You've never failed to impress me with your imagination and enthusiasm and talent. Be proud, Minions.

*groans under hug*
Hi Sparky. How are you? Good? That's good.

What are you writing?

Alexander Mythology said...

Am I nice!?!

Sparky Braginski said...

The story is on the last page, Val V and I are writing it together.

Sparky Braginski said...

I wrote the bit on the last page.

Izz said...

I don't know. I just met you. But you don't have a profile picture Myth.
How am I supposed to know anything about you when there is nothing for me to go by?

Alexander Mythology said...

...curses...

Izz said...

Cool Sparky. Can't wait to see how it goes.

Can I get up now?

Sparky Braginski said...

Uhhh...

Yes.

*gets off Izz*

Izz said...

*stands up*

Thank you.
Is it true Myth calls you Sparks?

Sparky Braginski said...

Yes. Call me that and I'll end you.

Izz said...

Wunderbar.

You know my pet vampire?

Sparky Braginski said...

Nooo...

Izz said...

The girl Jay Haych is loosely based on. She's in fact my pet vampire and good friend.

Sparky Braginski said...

Ahh. Did you meet Hayley?

Izz said...

Her real name's Jemma.

Izz said...

No. not formaly. I saw some of the comments though.

Sparky Braginski said...

I'm not telling you Hayley's real name.

Serena })i({ said...

Congratulations Sparky and Josie!

Izz said...

but yeah, I saw my pet vampire while shopping yesterday. She told me to congratulate you Sparky as she hardly ever gets on the net.

We have also decided to get a vampire puppy. Seeing as there are lots of movies where the dog dies at the end. I thought it would be good to have a dog that lives forever.

Any ideas on breed?

Sparky Braginski said...

Thanks Serena!

Sparky Braginski said...

Say thanks to her.

BORDER COLLIE!

Izz said...

Hello Serena.

I will. Interesting. I like big dogs, so I was thinking maybe German Shepherd.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

BUWAHAHA! I HAVE MY TEA!

"I think people like to read about characters being chased by vampires and being horribly, horribly murdered, and having their arms pulled off because it’s funny.”

I share the same morbid sense of humour as Derek. :)

Alexander Mythology said...

Oops. I didn't mean to do that. I said "I keep on thinking Haley's last name is Squeamish.

Izz said...

But border collie is a possibility.

Wonderful Acacia. What type?

Izz said...

Your brain is backwards Myth.

Alexander Mythology said...

A Labrador is always loyal.

Izz said...

mmmmmmmm. But their colours are boring.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Well, the sort where you think it’s funny to see people die… :D

Hence the "I think people like to read about characters being chased by vampires and being horribly, horribly murdered, and having their arms pulled off because it’s funny.”

Derek said that.

Alexander Mythology said...

Or a St. Bernard

Izz said...

I meant tea Acacia.

Alexander Mythology said...

Woah. Derek is dark

Izz said...

That's a good one Myth. I didn't think of that.

Why don't you have a profile pic?

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Oh… hehe… I have black tea, but I’m considering having Vanilla Rose or Oolong for my next cup. :)

~Acacia Volt~ said...

OH MY FACELESS ONES! GUYS! GUYS! GUYS!

Book seven comes out this year… hehe. :D

Alexander Mythology said...

I'll put one on soon, but I just didn't have any good pictures on the computer.

And what didn't you think of?

Izz said...

Sounds nice. I like to have tea before bed on cold nights. It's very comforting.

Izz said...

St Bernard.

Well observed Acacia.

Alexander Mythology said...

Acacia, how do you pronounce your name?

Izz said...

A-kay-sha

Izz said...

I think...

~Acacia Volt~ said...

I am filled with warm fuzzies at the idea… or is that the tea?

Izz said...

Probably both Acacia

Alexander Mythology said...

fluffy nipples.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

I don’t really know, sometimes. I let people name me as they wish.

A-kay-sha or A-cas-ee-ah.

Alexander Mythology said...

did I scare everyone away?

Izz said...

What would you do if someone came online and said they were going to kill you?

~Acacia Volt~ said...

I’m seeing Sherlock Holmes 2 tonight. #Sigh# Detectives, Paris and Robert Downey Jr. Oh, and Jude Law’s moustache. :3

Alexander Mythology said...

ok. thanks

Izz said...

Oh yeah. *sigh* I love those sherlock holmes things.

Izz said...

You seen the tv show Sherlock?

Alexander Mythology said...

I'd tell them to eff off and don't talk to me again.

unless they were just joking around. Like Sparky telling me she's gonna kill me cause I keep on calling her Sparks. Then I'd say "I don't see a unicorn horn in your hand."

Izz said...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Interesting.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

NO! #Wails pathetically and rolls about on the floor. Checks imaginary watch# CRAP! Gotta' run, guys! (And girls if you think I’m sexist…)

:D

xx~S’K.

Izz said...

Oh. Bye.

*wonders what would cause such a reaction*

Sparky Braginski said...

THAT TEARS IT.

*dives at Myth and attempts to rip their fingers off*

Izz said...

Ouch.

That's gotta hurt...

Alexander Mythology said...

haha. Ow! Okay, okay. I won't do it again. Just please leave my fingers alone. I'm very fond of them. I've had them for a very long time and I don't want to lose them so early in my happy happy life.

Sparky Braginski said...

Fine.

*returns three fingers and half a thumb*

Alexander Mythology said...

What about the rest?

Izz said...

Good anger management Sparky.

Sparky Braginski said...

*coughs*

Oh. The rest.

*and four more*

Alexander Mythology said...

Um... Sparky? You still have my pinky and ring finger.

Izz said...

Oh. Build a bridge and get over it Myth.

Izz said...

You're lucky she stopped when she did.

Sparky Braginski said...

I gave them all back you paranoid g- oh...

*gives back last fingers*

Alexander Mythology said...

How can I build a bridge with the majority of my fingers lying on the ground?

Scoriza der Wolken said...

I know I wouldn't have stopped.

Alexander Mythology said...

Does anybody have some tape, or possibly a small staple gun?

Izz said...

It's a mental bridge Myth.

Izz said...

Also magic is helpful.

Scoriza der Wolken said...

I can't believe she stopped.

Izz said...

Me neither.

Alexander Mythology said...

Where's Kenspeckle when you need him?

Scoriza der Wolken said...

Where has she gone anyway?

Izz said...

Indeed Myth. Indeed.

Alexander Mythology said...

Who- Ow!

Sparky Braginski said...

Ugh.

*takes fingers back and stomps in them*

Alexander Mythology said...

Hey, I need them! It's not like I called you Sparks again.

*oops*

Izz said...

Sparky calm down.

Alexander Mythology said...

I'mdeadI'mdeadI'mdeadI'mdead!!

Izz said...

Delete the comment. She might not notice.

Sparky Braginski said...

Myth was complaining. I'm tired and irritable and Myth irritated me.

I also get impulsive and don't think things through when I'm tired.

Sparky Braginski said...

Eh. I already stood on h-

Are you a boy or a girl Myth?

Alexander Mythology said...

So... what're you going to do to me?

Sparky Braginski said...

Gender first, punishment second.

Izz said...

Ok. Glad you're not over-reacting anymore.

Alexander Mythology said...

No! If I tell you, you might kick me in a place I don't really want you to kick.

Sparky Braginski said...

Tell me.

Izz said...

That makes it sort of obvious...

Alexander Mythology said...

*protects crutch with stumpy bleeding hands*

boy

Izz said...

I knew it!

Izz said...

I am such a genius!

Sparky Braginski said...

*laughs*

Don't worry. I won't punish you.











































































































Yet.

Izz said...

It is funny that sparky can attack someone and not know it they're a boy or a girl...

Izz said...

MOUNT ETNA'S ERUPTING!

That looks so cool. Volcanoes are awesome.

Alexander Mythology said...

*gulp*

Alexander Mythology said...

What? Are you serious? Volcano?

Sparky Braginski said...

*laughs evilly*

Izz said...

Yep. Look it up.

Izz said...

You're very intimidating when you want to be Sparky.

Alexander Mythology said...

Can I have my *grumbles* crushed fingers back?

Izz said...

I wonder what would happen if I called you that name...

Nixion Strange said...

What! Wasn"t Fish Sticks good enough for you? I guess i'll just take her back then. Naw, I'm just kidding. Congrads to the two winners, they seem like awesome characters. And Derek, remember, Fish Sticks is always available to be in one of your stories. And by the way, when are you comming to Australia? Soon i hope. And again, good characters Josie and Sparky Braginski. I just hope you like the story they're put in.

Alexander Mythology said...

I advise you, DON'T GO THERE!

Izz said...

I'm just interested as to how she might punish me.

Alexander Mythology said...

She'll go further than ripping off your fngers, let me assure you.

Izz said...

Hello Nobody. there's a movie called My Name is Nobody.....

There's also a jeans company called Nobody. So the name is very popular.

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello.

Alexander Mythology said...

gotta go. Bye!

Izz said...

Trust me. I'm very difficult to harm Myth. I'm a ghost.

Bye!

Sparky Braginski said...

Bye.

Izz said...

So Sparky. What would you do?

Nixion Strange said...

Wow, I just realised that I sound like a nerd when i write, but can't spit the words out when i talk. Strange

Sparky Braginski said...

I would develop a quick diffinity for Necromancy and Inwould steal your soul.


Or, I would find a way to force you into a body and kill that.

Sparky Braginski said...

Nobody, would you read the beginning of a story Val V and I are writing?

Nixion Strange said...

And I assure you, I'm not jeans. And I'm not, nor have i ever been a movie, or in a movie

Izz said...

Of course she would Sparky.

And I like you're innovation. Perhaps I should find a way to prevent you ever learning Necromancy...

Izz said...

Oh.

brb

Nixion Strange said...

Sure, I would read any story, i'm a complete bookwrom. Though, strangley, i can't spell

Sparky Braginski said...

Why was it so cold? She didn’t want to move. She was comfortable there. But why did it need to be so cold? She could hear something. Sirens. Where was she? She opened her eyes. Ugh. She was still in her bedroom.
Wait. Sirens?
She rolled over and landed on the floor.
‘Ow…’ She moaned. She did that every day. She needed a bigger bed. She got up and looked at her closet. She picked out jeans and a football jersey. She tripped at the top of the stairs and eventually landed on the floor. She did that every day too. She grunted and got up. She checked her watch. 2:30am. What the hell was happening? She opened the front door and saw that the house across the street had broken windows. Nothing to do with her. She shut the door again and walked into the kitchen. She ignored the toaster completely because the last time she used it, the toaster burnt half of her hair off. She opened the microwave carefully and avoided the small explosion of goo.
‘Ryan!’ She called up the stairs. ‘Get down here!’ She heard a groan, a thump and a swear as Ryan hit his head against the ceiling.
‘Microwave?’ He yelled back, leaning over the banister of the hallway upstairs.
‘Yes the microwave.’
‘I have to clean it don’t I?’ He asked. She nodded.

She sat in the dining room eating cereal and glaring at Ryan. Idiot. He had done that two days ago. She didn’t forget to easy. She saw him shuffle out of the kitchen.
‘Done.’ He mumbled, heading back up the stairs. She watched him slowly make his way up the stairs. God, he was stupid sometimes. But, most of the time he was a complete brainbox. He wasn’t smart in the straight A student sense, he was just… Intelligent. He was in University and his looks were deceiving. Very deceiving. He had spiky red hair that people made fun of. He was average height and skinny. His eyes were pale blue and his features were uninteresting. He was funny, in a annoying sort of way and they were housemates. It was her, Ryan and Kat. Oh. Kat.
‘Ryan wait!’ She called up again. He looked down again.
‘What now?’
‘Where’s Kat?’
‘She’s still in bed.’
‘Are you sure?’ She asked.
‘Yes, Harper, I’m positive I ch-‘ He paled. ‘I didn’t check. Are those sirens?’
‘Yes. The psycho has gone arsonist again. Let’s go get her.’ She said. Ryan started muttering something about chains as he got his jacket. They walked out into the freezing cold, crossed the road and entered the forest behind the houses on that side of the street. They walked to the clearing at the middle of the forest and saw Kat sitting in the snow, rocking back and forth slightly.

Sparky Braginski said...

And trust me, it gets cheerier after that.

Izz said...

That

Is Ãœber Awesome!

Sparky Braginski said...

Thanks Izz!

There's already more.

Izz said...

There's someone at my school called Kat. Short for Kalinda.

Sparky Braginski said...

Mine's short for Katrina.

Izz said...

Wow. I love this stuff.

Sparky Braginski said...

What stuff?

Nixion Strange said...

Once, I could write stuff that made sense like that. (Sighs and looks dramaticly into the distance, remembering...)

Sparky Braginski said...

Do you like it?

Izz said...

Just this stuff. The stories and stuff. I wrote a pretty dark story once, for English. It was about a murderer.

Nixion Strange said...

I have a Kat at my school. It's not short for anything. Her name is really Kat.

Sparky Braginski said...

I normally write cheery stuff, but I felt like a change and sometimes writing dark stuff is more fun.

Nixion Strange said...

Sorry, lost my train of thought. It's an awesome story

Sparky Braginski said...

Thanks. The laptop is backing up, so I can't write anymore tonight.

Sparky Braginski said...

...

Izz, you read Caleb, right?

Izz said...

I normally write dreamy fantasy stuff. But I thought I'd try dark for a change. and boy was it dark...

Izz said...

Actually no. Should I?

Sparky Braginski said...

I once wrote a story for an English competition that was very cheery, until the end where I subtly said that the person who's point of view the story was coming from was insane.

It was much different from my usual stuff, and I liked the story much more.

Sparky Braginski said...

You definitely should. It's on my second blog post.

Izz said...

huh. I wrote an insane one too. And it was for a competition.

I never really like my stories. I think it makes it easier to recieve compliments.

Nixion Strange said...

Hey, does anyone know when Derek Landy come to Australia?

Izz said...

Or lack of compliments

Sparky Braginski said...

I don't always like my stories, but people generally do, do I assume I'm good at writing.

Izz said...

I shall read it Sparky. I shall.

Sparky Braginski said...

Thank you.

Nixion Strange said...

I once wrote a story in year 6 about an evil cat who kills its owners. Is something wrong with me?

Sparky Braginski said...

No. You did random for the sake of random. That's normal for a year six kid.

Izz said...

No. My murderer was pretty whacked. He whips you then puts salt on it. then he'll carve you up. and basically torture you until he can't keep you alive any longer.

Sparky Braginski said...

Are you reading it?

Nixion Strange said...

I'm feeling a little lost here. What's going on?

Izz said...

Yes. now shut up.

Sparky Braginski said...

It's okay nobody.

Nixion Strange said...

You know, it dosen't matter. Ignore my last blog, i think i might just more comfused

Nixion Strange said...

I mean confused.

Sparky Braginski said...

How are you Nobody?

Izz said...

Do you have a thing for red heads?

Alexander Mythology said...

I am Back!! And I discovered magic! My ability is to grow back lost limbs!

Sparky Braginski said...

Yes, I do have a thing for red-heads. But only ones with green eyes.

Alexander Mythology said...

Uh...

Izz said...

Of course. I like black hair. It can't be short though

Sparky Braginski said...

Oh god, you aren't ginger are you Myth?

Alexander Mythology said...

I have a thing for blondes.

Nixion Strange said...

Were those both for me? I dunno if i have a thing for redheads. And do you mean how am i feeling, or how can i possible be nobody? And do i over think things?

Alexander Mythology said...

No. You made me grin. I have brown hair.

Sparky Braginski said...

I'm a brunette. All is well.

I like shaggy hair, covering ears.

Or REALLY spiky, but not gelled.

Sparky Braginski said...

*breaths out releived*

That coulda beel awkward.

Nixion Strange said...

I like hair. It keeps my head warm.

Izz said...

I'd rather not say what colour my hair is now....

Nixion Strange said...

My hair's brown, but it used to be blonde

Izz said...

I have a friend who shaved her head. Six months later she dyed it blonde.

Nixion Strange said...

And i don't die it, it's all natural

Izz said...

I've never dyed my hair. but the hairdresser says it looks like there's a regrowth line.

Nixion Strange said...

I spelt dye wrong. But i don't die either, so it kinda makes sense

Izz said...

I have chronic dying.

Alexander Mythology said...

Oh, no. nononononono. Please don't say you'r blonde, Fizz.

Nixion Strange said...

I still have a small blonde streak, but it looks like a little bald patch

Nixion Strange said...

Hey, i started a new page!

Izz said...

*whispers*
shit.


aw stuff it!










ash blonde...

Sparky Braginski said...

You get to dedicate this page.

Nixion Strange said...

Wait, how long have i been here?

Izz said...

Yeah congrats Nobody!

Nixion Strange said...

I lost track of time! Lucky i don't have a life, or i might be late for something

Alexander Mythology said...

I'm watching Sherlock Holmes on Sky.

Nixion Strange said...

Nobody rules execpt me

(see what i did there)

Sparky Braginski said...

Ash blonde's pretty!

Izz said...

Well it's too late to go back now. Dedication?

Nixion Strange said...

You mean the new one? i watched it yesterday, it's pretty good

Alexander Mythology said...

Oh, don't worry, the only blondes I really fall for are strawberry blondes.

Nixion Strange said...

I didn't know that there was so many blondes!

Izz said...

The movie or the tv show?

Nixion Strange said...

I think Myth has left us

Izz said...

*faints with relife*

Wunderbar. Now there can be peace.

Blondes are many and varied Nobody.

Alexander Mythology said...

The first movie. It's confusing. Either that, or I'm just thick.

Don't say anything Sparky.

Nixion Strange said...

And Sparky. IS NO ONE THERE?! ANSWERES, PLEASE!

Izz said...

Ha. There's a girl at my school with red hair. She will kill you if you call that though. She insists it's strawberry blonde.
Deluded.

Sparky Braginski said...

I won't.

*kicks his crotch*

And now I have had my revenge.

*winks*

Nixion Strange said...

Then what sort of blonde was i? If i don't know, who does?
