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.
FIRST!!

ReplyDelete*pats Derek on head* Good choice...
ReplyDeleteDo you want one, Robin?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, congrats to Josie whoever you are!
ReplyDeleteStill for Hayley though *bows to Sparky's superiorness*
There that's the one time you get bowed to kay?
You probably don't. I'm actually not feeling anything right now. I always thought the idea had been a little far-fetched. Besides, my magic 8 ball kept saying "outlook not good" You should really get one of those. Anyways, Buh-buh.
ReplyDeleteNo, Eve no I don't.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those things Eve anyway
Im not the only person the chat isnt working for am I? O.O *trapped in the blogosphere with no visible means of escape...

ReplyDeleteIts okay it worked ^^ *burrows out of blogland
ReplyDeleteSee ya *looks around* anyone?
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteJust, WOW.
*hugs Sparky then laughs*
ReplyDeleteI think everyone expected that apart from you
Congratulations, Sparky :)
ReplyDelete*laughs*
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin.
And Thanks to everyone.
You are all amazing.
Especially all of you.
I am genuinely happy right now.
ReplyDelete*laughs some more sets of fireworks, party popper, silly strings EVERYTHING, destroys building*
Done.
Val's probably gonna freak too...
ReplyDeleteI am genuinely freaking out right now.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy.
And most of all, THANK YOU GOLDEN GO DEREK!
It's gonna be the greatest to finally read about an Australian/Kiwi character- I'm looking forward to hearing about Miss Skirmish and Mr Aiavao :D
ReplyDeleteI just read the post again.
ReplyDelete'I have a feeling Sparky will be a tad delighted to have won this... '
Yeah, just a bit.
*stares at Jarvis*
ReplyDeleteIf you called her 'Miss Skirmish' she'd punch you. Hard.
Understatement of the century, millenium, ever?
ReplyDeleteHa she sounds delightful...
ReplyDeleteWell, she would.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to call you Miss Braginski
ReplyDeleteWell then I guess I'll just have to keep out of Miss Skirmish's way, Miss Braginski ehehe
ReplyDeleteOr she can do it punch her twice :D
ReplyDeleteOr shock her *grins*
ReplyDeleteIf someone called me 'Miss Braginski' I would throw you through a wall.
ReplyDelete*promptly picks up Jervis and throws him out the window*
*claps and hollers*
ReplyDeleteWell now my pride and my body is severely injured.
ReplyDeleteBut, I cannot simply stop my formalities, no that is much too difficult.
Dude, call me Sparky.
ReplyDeleteWhat if I were to call her just Skirmish?
ReplyDeleteJust Sparky.
ReplyDelete...
ReplyDeleteHayley.
Hayley.
I am currently poking my tongue out at my computer screen.
ReplyDeleteMiss Sparky? I'll keep it at that, yes.
Okay Sparky, I just thought that sounded cool but she's your character *surrenders glances at Jervis and shakes head*
ReplyDelete/Grin grin at Robin/
ReplyDelete*looks at Sparky and Kal feels inferior*
ReplyDelete*looks at Jervis... shrugs*
*mouths to Jervis* It's your funeral
ReplyDeleteI suppose Mr Tetch shall be sauve enough.
ReplyDeleteMy ego Robin...
Why must everyone insist on crushing it?
I was suggesting that I feel indifferent to your existence, interpret that how you will
ReplyDeleteWell then I guess indifference is quite alright then.
ReplyDeleteIndeed
ReplyDeleteWhere has Sparky gona I was rather hoping to see you thrown neatly out the window... again.
*gone
ReplyDeleteWell perhaps she has finance in mind; I mean you can't just throw people out windows willy nilly and not expect some damages.
ReplyDeleteooh, I thought you said fiancee and I got all excited about sparky getting married. oh well.
ReplyDeleteand hai!
Yes, but Jervis, you forget this is Sparky Braginski we are talking about.
ReplyDeleteHey lego
ReplyDeleteYes! Sparky and I are getting married, isn't it exciting!
ReplyDeleteOur wedding shall be wonderous, you'll all be invited, of course.
Yes, my wife is rather fierce, isn't she?
only in the most alluring way, of course.
ReplyDeleteWow. Closest I've ever been to the top. I'm going to read the post now :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOU DEREK.
So that's what you dream of.
ReplyDelete*punches Jervis*
ReplyDeleteFierce? No Sh*t.
Oh it's not a dream, I assure you.
ReplyDeleteSparky you shall look beautiful in your frilly and over the top white dress! Unless I dress you up like a dear Alice and everything shall be 'Alice in Wonderland' themed.
Oh dear people, Sparky come back! I think this is practically an insult.
ReplyDeleteYAY *woops for Sparky*
ReplyDeleteInsult?
ReplyDeleteCareful Robin, or you shall be written off the wedding invitations.
Hmph.
Woot! Congrats Sparky and Josie!
ReplyDelete*applauds and hugs them*
Well done to Sparky and Josie! I'm sure the book will be brilliant. Good choices (Y)
ReplyDeleteOh boo hoo
ReplyDeleteOh by the way your 'wife' doesn't seem know about or agree with the 'marraige'
Jervis. You may die.
ReplyDeleteI think maybe in a moment I may throw you out the window for my own amusement and sense of conviction
ReplyDeleteOf course she agrees, a lovely person like me wouldn't do it by force!
ReplyDeleteIf you mean agree in not entirely the most honest of ways...
Hiya Kal!
ReplyDelete*hugs*
How're you?
*hugs thalia* hi! and I'm not sure it's a consensual wedding. =p
ReplyDeleteDRESS?
ReplyDeleteEVEN AT MY WEDDING, I WOULD NOT WEAR A DRESS.
*hugs Lego* How're you?
ReplyDeleteWho's getting married?
And I wouldn't go to a FUNERAL with you Jervis, considering where this conversation is going.
ReplyDeleteMeh.
ReplyDeleteI am 'meh', Kal. I do not want to go to school tomorrow :P I'm going to be so mentally dead by the end of the day.
Lego's getting married.
ReplyDeleteKal got married.
Well Sparky and I are getting married, if you must know.
ReplyDeleteBut a lady must always wear a dress! I mean, it wouldn't worry me if you dressed yourself in clothes much more befitting a certain Miss Low- I would love my little Sparky angel all the same
Maybe you'd go to HIS funeral with him?
ReplyDeleteSparky you're famous as of now, he's obviously deluded himslef
ReplyDelete(Though I am slightly confused because your profile says female so from now on I may refer to you, Jervis, as it)
*hugs* I'm okay, feeling a little better. :) hows you?
ReplyDelete^HAHAHA.^
ReplyDeleteYou think I'm a lady?
What the hell is wring with you.
I am not getting married to anyone.
*picks up Jervis, spits on his face, shackle his ankles and wrists with really heavy magic binding cuffs and throws him into the ocean*
Yes.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that everyone would think of me as a gentleman but...
Oh who I am kidding, I am a fraud! I am no gentleman, nor am I an English one at that.
No I feel miserable, I can't believe I've covered myself in lies. Sparky my dearest, I hope you understand.
I hope he drowns.
ReplyDelete*reads Robins most recent comment*
ReplyDelete*recoils*
YOU'RE A GIRL??? GET AWAY FROM ME!
Don't mind me, just flailing in the ocean.
ReplyDeleteAll alone.
In the water.
My suit is getting ruined I cannot believe this.
*shudders*
ReplyDeleteGo jump off a cliff and get away from me you creep.
Jervis. You may be digging.yourself in deeper here...
ReplyDelete*reads the blog post again*
ReplyDeleteWow.
Holy Woah.
That is truly amazing.
But you already threw me off what I assumed was a cliff into the watery depths, which I am currently trying my best not to drown in.
ReplyDeleteBut it's always nice to be deeper, Serpine's hand. It makes things interesting the more covered in earth you are.
Okay, Melissa/Jervis. You are being a wee bit creepy here. Stalkers are not hot.
ReplyDeleteHang on *swims down and grabs the fraud brings it back up* So you're not even English? You were trying to be English?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSee, Jervis? I saved you from the Seahag
ReplyDeleteWell, I know I'm going to have homework. My math teacher told us that before break. It's to be fine, though. I just don't wanna have to talk to anyone in real life besides Mar and Mir.
ReplyDelete*hugs Kal*
*hugs Lego*
*hugs everyone*
*is very confused*
ReplyDeleteI'll go read the blog post again.
Time we learned the wonderful world of restraining orders
ReplyDeleteI usually have a habit of being labelled as such, I guess it's just my personality.
ReplyDeleteBut I kid, of course. I wouldn't marry Sparky- I'm neither a lesbian or one who even cares for marriage.
I'm just-
Me.
What? Oh Robin, of course I was trying to be English.
ReplyDeleteI mean you all already thought I was actually Jervis, who in reality is a fictional character from the Batman series called 'The Mad Hatter'.
That is a fair comment but English? Where are you actually from?
ReplyDeleteand mr. jervis, do you mind if I still think of you as a gentlemen, regardless of the gender you are currently claiming?
ReplyDeleteActually what am I even going on about, this is the manner of which I usually speak in.
ReplyDeleteOh you are wuite welcome to think of me as the dapper gentleman who I am in fact not.
ReplyDeleteI'm Australian- which is kind of English but not really at all.
Ah, Batman regardless of my name I never really cared much for Batman.
ReplyDeleteAt least when I spoke like an English person to you, Jervis, I have the honour of being very English *smiles proudly* but I do love the Aussies, well, most of them
ReplyDeleteYou have no clue as to the world of wonderment you are missing out on.
ReplyDeleteOh dear.
SA people apparently sound English. According to weird people with Sydney accents
ReplyDeleteI haven't told anyone yet.
ReplyDeleteBut, I swear, I have probably just earned myself the most exciting Summer holidays EVER.
And my friends go to other countries frequently. One's in Italy anthers in Switzerland and I'm fairly sure someone else is still in America.
Oh well, it is a pleasure to meet you Robin! The one who is not a fraud like me, but is actually proudly English.
ReplyDeleteI'm going now.
ReplyDeleteTalk to you guys later and I cannot stress how much I thank you guys.
BYE!!!
*leaves with enormous grin plastered on face*
Huzzah! Congrats to the winners!
ReplyDeleteAnd Sparky, I can't even imagine your freak out when you read who won.
And congratulations Josie! Though I don't think I've met you your character is quite interesting.
(>^.^)>HUZZAH! CONGRATULATIONS!<(^.^<)
Ha likewise in a sense, don't bear the name fraud it's appropriate but degrading.
ReplyDeleteThey'll be elated for you Sparky
English people rule
ReplyDeleteGoodbye to you Sparky-
ReplyDeleteI hope we hear from Josise soon, I'm sure she'll be 'a tad delighted' as well.
Bye Sparky! Enjoy the awe!
ReplyDeleteJosie* i carnt spel
ReplyDeleteBye Sparky!
ReplyDeleteBye Sparky!
ReplyDeleteHmm, quite convenient. As I enter a fellow bloglander leaves. No surprise considering my luck.
Aww...
ReplyDelete*tackle hugs Kim and leaves again, still grinning madly*
The irony, Jervis
ReplyDeleteRight well I'm off also fellow bloglanders, adieu
ReplyDelete/tips hat to Robin/
ReplyDeleteGoodbye.
*winks at Jervis* See ya
ReplyDeleteYay! Hug received!
ReplyDeleteAdieu to you too Robin.
I'm probably going to fall asleep at my computer, so I must bid you all farewell. Bye Blogland!
ReplyDeleteGoodbye, Miss Detective.
ReplyDeleteGood bye Thalia.
ReplyDelete(So many departures in such little time...)
Indeed.
ReplyDeleteHello Jervis. Don't think I've met you yet.
ReplyDeleteAnd I must go. Fooey. I blame homework.
ReplyDelete(>^.^)>CONGRATS<(^.^<)
Oh well, greetings and parting goobyes to you- enjoy that homework.
ReplyDeleteyay congrats to the winners .icant wait to read the story
ReplyDelete*hasn't even really read the post, but saw that one of Sparky's characters won* *screams in excitment* CONGRATULATIONS SPARKY!!! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to go wash dishes. I WILL RETURN!
*glowers* Why am I alone? Where's Sparky? WHY ISN'T SHE HERE TO TALK ABOUT HOW SHE CAN'T BELIEVE SHE WON, SO I CAN TELL HER I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS BECAUSE I WAS SCREAMING AND SHAKING WHEN I WON ALSO??? (By the way, Derek, you are an AWESOME person) Maybe it's because I was stuck doing my stupid algebra homework for THREE HOURS...
ReplyDelete*crosses arms* I WANT SOMEONE *coughSPARKYcough* to come on...
*sighs* I guess I'll have to punish all of you, whom I am forced to pretend is here, the same way I punish Skulduggery.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to sulk you to death.
*starts sulking*
*waits 3 minutes*
*sighs and gives up*
Ugh, sulking is so freaking boring.
*looks at earlier comments in a hopeful attempt to be entertained* *attemp succeeds*
ReplyDeleteOkay, sorry Sparky, but... Jervis, that's hilarious. I wish I had been there for that. Although, I feel the need to warn you... DON'T TELL SPARKY TO WEAR A DRESS. Last time I did that, she threw me to Caelan. And it didn't end well.
*kicks a unicorn out of boredom* *realises it was a scary purple Necromancer unicorn who stabs people for pleasure* *runs away as fast as possible*
ReplyDeleteWell even if that were not a a scary purple Necromance unicorn and only a mere ordinary unicorn, that doesn't give you any excuse to attack the poor creature!
ReplyDeleteI cross my arms and throw annoyed glances at you.
*grins while walking over* Hello Valkyrie. I love you.
ReplyDeleteSilly unicorns.
ReplyDeleteIt's the pink ones you've got to watch out for.
Well that was unexpected.
ReplyDeleteCAELAN.
ReplyDeletemy specialty is agonising death.
Watch out.
Hi Jervis, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope.
ReplyDelete*sees Caelan walking over* *pales* Not you again...
I will cause agonising death to you , Caelan. Lucky your already dead
ReplyDeleteTwice.
ReplyDeleteAh, but it IS me again, Valkyrie, and you can't stop it. We're meant for each other. It's fate.
ReplyDelete*runs in, sees Val V, screams and tackle hugs her*
ReplyDelete*lets go and groans*
I swear my physiotherapist is sadistic.
*reads post again and giggles*
*sees Caelan and growls*
DON'T YOU DARE RUIN MY HAPPY.
*grabs Jervis and chucks her at Caelan*
Problem solved.
Oh it's always a pleasure to meet me. You may not realise it at first, and you may even outright deny it- but it always is in the long run.
ReplyDeleteBut why ever would you pale at the sight of your brooding, angsty and crazed vampire friend? He's only here for you, after all.
*stares at Jervis like she's insane* CAELAN AND I ARE NOT FRIENDS. This creeper *gestures at Caelan* comes out of nowhere, says a few creepy things to me, then leaves, and comes back a few days later. It's deeply unsettling.
ReplyDeleteI would kill you with agonising death, Caelan, if you hadnt already died twice.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, I may change my mind...
But the creepers are always the interesting ones.
ReplyDeleteBesides, how could you be so terrible to him when he has led such a tragic and sob story life? It's not easy being a vampire, you know.
Especially one that is supposed to be dead through and through.
I know, Valkyrie, we're not friends. We're in love. I have to go now. *kisses Valkyrie then leaves*
ReplyDelete...
ReplyDelete*is thoroughly creeped out*
I thought I threw you at Caelan.
*does it again for good measure*
Oh no. Ive got Muppets in my head :)
ReplyDeleteThe original, not the new stuff.
GOLDEN TEETH AND GOLDEN TUNES
WELCOME TO MY PRESENCE.
You should watch it Mr Landy.
And Muppets from treasure island
I must be so deluded in my absolute love for you I didn't even realise you threw me at an idiot vampire.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, people to cause agonising pain and death to.
ReplyDeleteSee yaz later.
*punches Jarvis again*
ReplyDeleteJarvis? Jarvis
ReplyDeleteI am throughly insulted, hmph.
Good.
ReplyDelete*is too stunned to beat Caelan to a pulp as he leaves* *whirls around to face Sparky* He just... He just... *throws up, then goes unconscious in complete despair, agony, disgust, and misery*
ReplyDeleteShooshpap now, my dear Valkyrie.
ReplyDeleteIt serves you right for being such a traitor to Fletcher, after all.
*shocks Val V awake*
ReplyDeleteGet up.
*helps her up anyway and hugs her*
How are you?
*wakes up long enough to say, "Shut up, Jervis" then goes unconscious again*
ReplyDelete*shocks Val V awake*
ReplyDeleteGet up.
*helps her up anyway and hugs her*
How are you?
... lucky, you two. I thought you were going to win, Sparky, but I thought it was going to be that girl who you based on yourself and couldn't stop making the comment "Me. Again, can't enfisize that enough."
ReplyDeleteplease forgive the spelling...
but, anyway, you have no idea how jealous I am. :0
*gets up and turns to Sparky* I'm... Well, I'm not dandy, seeing as how I was just blog-kissed by a creepy vampire stalker...
ReplyDeleteIgnoring that.
ReplyDeleteIgnoring the creepy vampire thing? I'm still not all that dandy. I was stuck doing homework, ONE SHEET OF ALGEBRA HOMEWORK, for three hours, because my sisters turned on the TV really loud and I can't focus with it on and I forgot how to do everything and Peren isn't very good at helping me...
ReplyDeleteTell me the questions.
ReplyDelete*tilts head at Sparky* Why? I already finished.
ReplyDeleteNever mind then.
ReplyDelete*is incredibly happy*
ReplyDeleteWooooow...
:( I truely thought I might win
ReplyDeleteI'm so embarrased and sad. All my family gathered around the computer when I saw the entry had been posted and as soon as I saw I hadn't won I burst out crying and they all just stood there.
I'm normally an optimist and this is the first time I have felt truely sad about something since my grandpas death. :( oh well
I'm going onto Sims 3 Pets now.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep talking though, I just won't be paying full attention to the blog.
*feels very guilty very suddenly*
ReplyDeleteAre you okay?
Gemini?
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't feel guilty :( Now I feel guilty for making you feel guilty because you did nothing wrong. I would expect you to feel guilty if you wrote that entry to purposely harm, act against or be mean to me but you did not. Its a competition, some people win, some lose. I have a whole life ahead of me to win and lose and I doubt that this was the last create a character competition. And next one I WILL win. I need to change the format I'm writing in and Instead of doing it like a police report do it like I was the persons best friend.
ReplyDelete*smiles at Gemini*
ReplyDeleteIt's on principle. When someone feels sad and I'm happy, I feel bad for being happy in spite of their sadness.
I also admire the way you have decided to solve the problem.
Thank you how old are you by the way (I KNOW that sounds really creepy) but I might know you from somewhere if you're in sydney
ReplyDelete13.
ReplyDeleteYou?
ReplyDelete12 turning thirteen
ReplyDeleteand I dedicate this next page to future character competitions!
ReplyDelete
