Name: Ri'chard Landow

Age: 18

Birthday: March 25, 1990

Height: 5' 11"

Profession: Graphic Designer/Cashier

Species: Dog

First Appearance: #02. Too Old For Wet Dreams

Rick was born into the prominent Landow family, a rich Mid-Western family with various deals in business. He was spoiled as a child, but after convincing his parents to let him go to public school, he learned modesty and other values. There he also discovered his aptitude for art. When he told his parents of his new goal in life, they pulled him out of public school and stifled his creativity. Soon after turning eighteen, Rick packed his clothes and some of his other things and left to Salvation, to prove to his parents that his new goal in life was practical. He refuses to use the money from the bank account his parents set up for him unless he has an absolute need. He promised himself to pay back the money he took. Rick is practical and pessimistic at times. He likes video games, mostly strategy and adventure. He got a new job to help pay for new expenses, like keeping Alex. He has low alcohol tolerance.

[I subconsciously named Rick from the name of an anthro artist (see the Links page for his comic). Rick is a kind of projection of part of me, along with other parts that are totally opposite of my mannerisms.]

Profession: Student (10th Grade)

Species: Cat

First Appearance: #03. Too Much SCGMD3

Alex's background is unknown. She was found on Rick's doorstep one day, beaten and in terrible condition. She was taken to the hospital and they tried to check her records. She had none. Alex could only remember her name. Head trauma gave her amnesia. Rick opted to keep Alex, and was made her legal guardian. Alex started a new life with Rick and now she is bright and energetic. Her upbeat attitude underlies serious problems she can still feel, but not remember. She doesn't know where she wants to go in the future, but she has an aptitude for writing she has not considered yet. Alex likes RPGs and party games, and hates to be alone. She also dislikes the dark. She has a high alcohol tolerance.

[Alex got her name from a character from some show that used to appear on Cartoon Network that I vaguely remember. She is also part of a projection of myself, with parts opposite of myself.]

He was offered the chance to skip grades every year, but he decided to take things slow. He hands out with Alex frequently ... for study purposes he says. Ethan likes skateboarding, learning and reading. He dislikes those who abuse power, television, being called effeminate, humans, and most fictitious works.

[Ethan came in an RP that Yurat and I had one day. I needed some new characters and after some work, Ethan was born.]

Jason likes the internet, gaming, computers and comics. He dislikes dancing, dating, and taking his medicine. Alex helped rescue him from a group of bullies and he's developed a little crush on her.

Birthday: June 3, 1990

Profession: Computer Programmer

Height: 6' 2" (6' 7" counting the top feathers)

Species: Bird

First Appearance: #15. Way To Change The Subject

Sam is Rick's (self proclaimed) best friend. He likes to body build, but is totally inept. He may look muscular, but he's skin and bones. He hates stuffing his wings in shirts, therefore forgoing them. If not for Rick, Alex and the others, he would've become a nudist. He is impudent and can't read people well. That's why most people disassociate themselves with him. As a result Sam will try to ingratiate himself with others. He craves attention, but is extremely loyal. He tends to disappear and reappear sporadically, the shortest being three days, the longest two months. He claims to be a computer programmer, and shows skill, but seems to be too transient to accomplish his goals. Sam likes flying, and hanging out with his friends. He dislikes being called weak, being tied down, and taking responsibility for his actions.

[Sam is like a new part of me that is developing. Maybe the evil inside is manifesting itself huh?]

Laura met Rick while shopping in a boutique store. He convinced her to have lunch with him, where he introduced her to Sam and his other friends. She lives up the street from Michael and they have access often. She doesn't love Rick, but does enjoy him as a friend. He's kind of annoying, but she can manage. She's a patron of the arts and loves the theater. Natural beauty is the best kind in her book, despite being a clerk at a make-up stand. She likes to read, and can be often times seen with her muzzle in a book. Laura is a quiet person generally, but one of the nicest people you could ever know. She has this facade of innocence, but she knows what's going on; even if she doesn't show it.
