i've decided to join in the fun. since i'm so use to them i'm going to use three of my fic chars but act as if the hidden city was never found and ali and zander have never met abe. anyways,heres the profiles...

Name: Ali (note: "Ali" means noble birth)

Species: Mudokon

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Skin Color: Pink-Lavender

Feather Color: Purple and Pink

Eyes: Brown

Clothing, Jewelry, etc: Brown leather like top and shorts

Distinguishing Marks: Besides her pinkish hue and *ahem* breasts, none

Good Traits: She's smart, brave, determined, and a whole lot stronger and faster then she looks. A great crowd speaker and has great leadership skills. Very patient and gentle but will fly off the handle if pushed too far.

Faults: Everyone has their faults... and Ali is no exception. She is very stubborn, especially when it comes to excepting help. She's rather independent and would rather face her problems on her own. She also tends to jump without looking, so to speak, often landing her in trouble.


Past: Much of Ali's past is clouded in mystery. Ali herself doesn't remember the events before crystal mines and her fathers death.

Overall Personality: Outgoing, somewhat perky (but not in the annoying "perky happy" category) and willing to take on what ever comes her way. She may be understanding but be careful cause this gal has an attitude all her own. Beware of sarcasm!


Name: Zander

Species: Slig

Gender: Male

Age: 13

Skin Color: Brownish Green

Eyes: Red

Clothing, Jewelry, etc: Just his metal pants.

Distinguishing Marks: A yellow blaze down his snout, which he'll cover with dirt sometimes so he can sneak among other Sligs unnoticed.

Good Traits: Loyal, thinks before he acts. Good at solving problems and tends to look at things from another point of view. Also has a good sixth sense for danger.

Faults: A bit of a coward. He's a bit clumsy and tends to trip over or get tangled up in things. He also has somewhat of a mean streak sometimes, especially to strangers.

Past: Zander is the son of Xaiver, a very ruthless Slig indeed, and Freela. Things were fine until Freela's sudden death. Xaiver grew crueler then ever and started to find many faults in his son. Zander was always different from the others. He was never very active and he didn't like to hurt anything. He had many ideas that his peers considered "freakish". His fellow Sligs shunned him and pushed him around. It was like that up until the train assignment...

Overall Personality: He tries to act tough sometimes but truth is that he's a real softy inside. He'll protect his friends with his life and never betray them.


Name: Xaiver (Xaiver means "Bright")

Species: Slig

Gender: Male

Age: 31

Skin Color: Deep Murky Green

Eyes: Blood Red

Clothes, Jewelry, etc: His special pair of metal pants. Unlike the others they are sliver and gold colored and have a long tail and sharp claws on the feet. His tail serves as a weapon considering it can smash through metal and shoot out electric balls.

Distinguishing Marks: You can tell Xaiver by the tons of scars on his face and chest. His main scar, a huge gash across his left eye, was given to him by his own father.

Good Traits: Cunning, sly, strong, fast, and able to sense things faster then others. He also doesn't trust people too easily.

Faults: Well, first off, he's evil! He also has no sense of kindness. He seems to hate everyone and everything. He has no problem with killing. He WILL kill you unless ordered not to.

Past: Xaiver has always been a bit of a loner. He never really had friends until he met Adrian, a very frail young Slig. Unfortunately, Adrian got sick a lot and the other Sligs pushing him around weren't helping. Adrian was only 12 when he died. Needless to say, Xaiver was crushed. Many other events happened, leading up to a fight with his dad, Brutas. Xaiver accidentally killed his father. Yet another blow. After as few years he met Freela. They got to liking each other then...they had Zander. Things went smoothly until Freela's sudden death. After that, Xaiver was never the same.

Overall Personality: A fighter till the bitter end. He takes no flak from anyone, and it's either his way or the highway. Even at times, Xaiver will disobey his bosses orders for his own purposes. Xaiver is confused Slig indeed.
