"And who are we in The End,
when the Earth takes our soles and swallows us
till we are just dirt and dust?
Who are we without the soil over our heads to feed us?
And who are we without the weeds and the wilderness yet?"

▬▬▬▬▬

WELCOME to the cast! First of all I'd like to say thank you to everyone who applied. Choosing the cast was not easy because every single application was genuinely fantastic. It was especially tricky because the slot function meant I couldn't even put the other fantastic applications in the side cast because they would have been too similar. At the end of the day I simply had to choose, and it was about balance, ethnicity and other small things like that. The characters with the smaller aesthetics are the 'side slots' and also include all family members mentioned in the forms. This part of the cast is flexible and open to more OCs (some boys perhaps?) as we go along, if we feel there's a certain character missing, if that makes sense? But I may not be able to add graphics coz I'm at the image capacity eek.

OPINION FORM:
please comment opinions under the name of each character. Side characters included, as they can play just as big a part in the main cast's lives as the others. Please get these done asap so I can start writing. And if you are short of ideas that's ok; they can be as detailed (or not) as you like, although obviously the more you give me to work with the better. And remember to be flexible!

name x name
[the rest should be in the replies under this comment]

initial opinions
do they know them? If so, how? how would they treat them/ see them if not. How might this change over time?

headcanons
scene ideas, moments shared, possible developments

love interest
could your character have a relationship/fling etc with this character? If yes, detail possible paths. don't forget it can be at any age through their childhood. optional.

quotes
things they might say to one another to express the vibe. optional

I hope you like the graphics too! I did my best with the limited image capacity: if you want your OC's aesthetic redone because you don't think it represents them drop me a message and we can work something out. And notify me if I've made any mistakes.

all the best,
Oisín
