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.

Hi Sparky. How are you? Good? That's good.
What are you writing?
Am I nice!?!
The story is on the last page, Val V and I are writing it together.
I wrote the bit on the last page.
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?
...curses...
Cool Sparky. Can't wait to see how it goes.
Can I get up now?
Uhhh...
Yes.
*gets off Izz*
*stands up*
Thank you.
Is it true Myth calls you Sparks?
Yes. Call me that and I'll end you.
Wunderbar.
You know my pet vampire?
Nooo...
The girl Jay Haych is loosely based on. She's in fact my pet vampire and good friend.
Ahh. Did you meet Hayley?
Her real name's Jemma.
No. not formaly. I saw some of the comments though.
I'm not telling you Hayley's real name.
Congratulations Sparky and Josie!
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?
Thanks Serena!
Say thanks to her.
BORDER COLLIE!
Hello Serena.
I will. Interesting. I like big dogs, so I was thinking maybe German Shepherd.
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. :)
Oops. I didn't mean to do that. I said "I keep on thinking Haley's last name is Squeamish.
But border collie is a possibility.
Wonderful Acacia. What type?
Your brain is backwards Myth.
A Labrador is always loyal.
mmmmmmmm. But their colours are boring.
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.
Or a St. Bernard
I meant tea Acacia.
Woah. Derek is dark
That's a good one Myth. I didn't think of that.
Why don't you have a profile pic?
Oh… hehe… I have black tea, but I’m considering having Vanilla Rose or Oolong for my next cup. :)
OH MY FACELESS ONES! GUYS! GUYS! GUYS!
Book seven comes out this year… hehe. :D
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?
Sounds nice. I like to have tea before bed on cold nights. It's very comforting.
St Bernard.
Well observed Acacia.
Acacia, how do you pronounce your name?
A-kay-sha
I think...
I am filled with warm fuzzies at the idea… or is that the tea?
Probably both Acacia
fluffy nipples.
I don’t really know, sometimes. I let people name me as they wish.
A-kay-sha or A-cas-ee-ah.
did I scare everyone away?
What would you do if someone came online and said they were going to kill you?
I’m seeing Sherlock Holmes 2 tonight. #Sigh# Detectives, Paris and Robert Downey Jr. Oh, and Jude Law’s moustache. :3
ok. thanks
Oh yeah. *sigh* I love those sherlock holmes things.
You seen the tv show Sherlock?
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."
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Interesting.
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.
Oh. Bye.
*wonders what would cause such a reaction*
THAT TEARS IT.
*dives at Myth and attempts to rip their fingers off*
Ouch.
That's gotta hurt...
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.
Fine.
*returns three fingers and half a thumb*
What about the rest?
Good anger management Sparky.
*coughs*
Oh. The rest.
*and four more*
Um... Sparky? You still have my pinky and ring finger.
Oh. Build a bridge and get over it Myth.
You're lucky she stopped when she did.
I gave them all back you paranoid g- oh...
*gives back last fingers*
How can I build a bridge with the majority of my fingers lying on the ground?
I know I wouldn't have stopped.
Does anybody have some tape, or possibly a small staple gun?
It's a mental bridge Myth.
Also magic is helpful.
I can't believe she stopped.
Me neither.
Where's Kenspeckle when you need him?
Where has she gone anyway?
Indeed Myth. Indeed.
Who- Ow!
Ugh.
*takes fingers back and stomps in them*
Hey, I need them! It's not like I called you Sparks again.
*oops*
Sparky calm down.
I'mdeadI'mdeadI'mdeadI'mdead!!
Delete the comment. She might not notice.
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.
Eh. I already stood on h-
Are you a boy or a girl Myth?
So... what're you going to do to me?
Gender first, punishment second.
Ok. Glad you're not over-reacting anymore.
No! If I tell you, you might kick me in a place I don't really want you to kick.
Tell me.
That makes it sort of obvious...
*protects crutch with stumpy bleeding hands*
boy
I knew it!
I am such a genius!
*laughs*
Don't worry. I won't punish you.
Yet.
It is funny that sparky can attack someone and not know it they're a boy or a girl...
MOUNT ETNA'S ERUPTING!
That looks so cool. Volcanoes are awesome.
*gulp*
What? Are you serious? Volcano?
*laughs evilly*
Yep. Look it up.
You're very intimidating when you want to be Sparky.
Can I have my *grumbles* crushed fingers back?
I wonder what would happen if I called you that name...
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.
I advise you, DON'T GO THERE!
I'm just interested as to how she might punish me.
She'll go further than ripping off your fngers, let me assure you.
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.
Hello.
gotta go. Bye!
Trust me. I'm very difficult to harm Myth. I'm a ghost.
Bye!
Bye.
So Sparky. What would you do?
Wow, I just realised that I sound like a nerd when i write, but can't spit the words out when i talk. Strange
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.
Nobody, would you read the beginning of a story Val V and I are writing?
And I assure you, I'm not jeans. And I'm not, nor have i ever been a movie, or in a movie
Of course she would Sparky.
And I like you're innovation. Perhaps I should find a way to prevent you ever learning Necromancy...
Oh.
brb
Sure, I would read any story, i'm a complete bookwrom. Though, strangley, i can't spell
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.
And trust me, it gets cheerier after that.
That
Is Ãœber Awesome!
Thanks Izz!
There's already more.
There's someone at my school called Kat. Short for Kalinda.
Mine's short for Katrina.
Wow. I love this stuff.
What stuff?
Once, I could write stuff that made sense like that. (Sighs and looks dramaticly into the distance, remembering...)
Do you like it?
Just this stuff. The stories and stuff. I wrote a pretty dark story once, for English. It was about a murderer.
I have a Kat at my school. It's not short for anything. Her name is really Kat.
I normally write cheery stuff, but I felt like a change and sometimes writing dark stuff is more fun.
Sorry, lost my train of thought. It's an awesome story
Thanks. The laptop is backing up, so I can't write anymore tonight.
...
Izz, you read Caleb, right?
I normally write dreamy fantasy stuff. But I thought I'd try dark for a change. and boy was it dark...
Actually no. Should I?
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.
You definitely should. It's on my second blog post.
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.
Hey, does anyone know when Derek Landy come to Australia?
Or lack of compliments
I don't always like my stories, but people generally do, do I assume I'm good at writing.
I shall read it Sparky. I shall.
Thank you.
I once wrote a story in year 6 about an evil cat who kills its owners. Is something wrong with me?
No. You did random for the sake of random. That's normal for a year six kid.
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.
Are you reading it?
I'm feeling a little lost here. What's going on?
Yes. now shut up.
It's okay nobody.
You know, it dosen't matter. Ignore my last blog, i think i might just more comfused
I mean confused.
How are you Nobody?
Do you have a thing for red heads?
I am Back!! And I discovered magic! My ability is to grow back lost limbs!
Yes, I do have a thing for red-heads. But only ones with green eyes.
Uh...
Of course. I like black hair. It can't be short though
Oh god, you aren't ginger are you Myth?
I have a thing for blondes.
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?
No. You made me grin. I have brown hair.
I'm a brunette. All is well.
I like shaggy hair, covering ears.
Or REALLY spiky, but not gelled.
*breaths out releived*
That coulda beel awkward.
I like hair. It keeps my head warm.
I'd rather not say what colour my hair is now....
My hair's brown, but it used to be blonde
I have a friend who shaved her head. Six months later she dyed it blonde.
And i don't die it, it's all natural
I've never dyed my hair. but the hairdresser says it looks like there's a regrowth line.
I spelt dye wrong. But i don't die either, so it kinda makes sense
I have chronic dying.
Oh, no. nononononono. Please don't say you'r blonde, Fizz.
I still have a small blonde streak, but it looks like a little bald patch
Hey, i started a new page!
*whispers*
shit.
aw stuff it!
ash blonde...
You get to dedicate this page.
Wait, how long have i been here?
Yeah congrats Nobody!
I lost track of time! Lucky i don't have a life, or i might be late for something
I'm watching Sherlock Holmes on Sky.
Nobody rules execpt me
(see what i did there)
Ash blonde's pretty!
Well it's too late to go back now. Dedication?
You mean the new one? i watched it yesterday, it's pretty good
Oh, don't worry, the only blondes I really fall for are strawberry blondes.
I didn't know that there was so many blondes!
The movie or the tv show?
I think Myth has left us
*faints with relife*
Wunderbar. Now there can be peace.
Blondes are many and varied Nobody.
The first movie. It's confusing. Either that, or I'm just thick.
Don't say anything Sparky.
And Sparky. IS NO ONE THERE?! ANSWERES, PLEASE!
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.
I won't.
*kicks his crotch*
And now I have had my revenge.
*winks*
Then what sort of blonde was i? If i don't know, who does?
