Hi I'm
Eric. I'm BRAND NEW to the game and I have apped two characters in one cycle because what is good decision making? I'll introduce them both in one post!
Character number one is
Princess Allura of Altea, from that hip new series about giant cats called
Voltron: Legendary Defender. She's a princess, as you may have surmised, and also one of the last three known surviving Alteans. She only survived because she was hidden away in a stasis pod on a forgotten planet while alien invaders obliterated her entire civilization. She now works with a group of Earthlings, the Paladins of Voltron (you might know
two of
them, and a
third also joined this round!), to save the universe from the evil Emperor Zarkon!

Allura you can't look that serious while mice are sitting on your shouldersShe's a diplomat by training, but is still relatively young and untested, and is still working to find her place in the universe. She also doesn't know very much about humans, so this should be an interesting cultural experience for her!

Character number two is
Kohaku Yuhara, an
Original Character that I came up with by asking myself "Hey what would happen if you took one of those shows where one cool boy with powers goes to a school for cool people with powers and gets six girlfriends and replaced the main character with Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran Host Club?"

Art by my friend Ruka!Kohaku is from a universe where humanity has been continually under assault by monsters from a giant underground network of caves that riddles the Earth's crust since the 1980s. The best chance we have against the monsters are people who become hosts for the symbiotic parasites that also come from those same caves. Becoming a "host" grants you amazing powers, and you can only survive the process if you're fairly young when it happens, so naturally they need a special school to train them up.
Kohaku is a girl, but dresses in traditionally masculine clothes and generally maintains a fairly androgynous appearance, since she's found that people tend to take her more seriously if they think she's a boy. She has superhuman reflexes and senses, likes video games, wants to be a chef some day, and is generally a meme loving shitlord.
