Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Solo Shiroko
Stage: Teen
Physical Age: Around 17
Mental Age: Probably in the vicinity of 32
Powers: Illusions



Likes:
.....Reading- Perhaps because he has never really liked people, Solo’s always been an avid book reader. The genre doesn’t matter too much to him, and he’s even been known to read some non-fiction if he’s bored enough.
.....Writing- Probably because he reads so much, being a writer is the only profession Solo can actually see himself being good at. While he knows that sometimes his speech is irregular and grammatically incorrect, he also knows that his writing is at least twice as good.
.....Cooking- Seeing as how the only other person in his house can cook and that person is usually off working, Solo taught himself how to cook, if only so that the house wouldn’t be burned down. The fact that he’s learned to enjoy it is something that confuses everyone.
.....Practical Jokes- While he thinks it’s beneath him to actually PLAY any on people, he finds them amusing as hell when he witnesses them. Even if the joke is played on himself, he’s still pretty amused by them.



Dislikes:
.....People- This is a rather broad dislike, although it’s essentially true. Solo’s initial image of anyone he meets is that they’re going to be just as stupid as the last person he met. Admittedly, this isn’t always true, but almost all of the times that he’s taken a risk on a first meeting and said to himself ‘Well, maybe they’re okay,’ he’s been proved wrong.
.....Orange- Yes, this orange-covered kitsune loathes the colour orange. Probably because he’s covered in it. To be honest, he doesn’t really like the colour red, either. His distaste for these things has led him to change the colour of his hair with illusions, when he remembers.
.....Insomnia- Recently having been plagued with it, Solo hates not being able to sleep easily. It probably doesn’t help that he keeps himself on a strict sleeping schedule, and hates to go to bed or wake up at different times.
.....Assholes- Despite being one, Solo can’t stand this trait in other people. He knows it’s hypocritical, but that’s not about to make him change.
.....Flowers- ********, they’re annoying. This dislike is probably more based on the fact that flowers are associated with happiness and smiles and love than anything else.



Skills:
.....Great at-
..........Cooking: Self-taught, through the need to keep the family fed and the house intact.
..........Writing: Something that Solo learned to do through reading so much, and something he enjoys.

.....Okay at-
..........Cleaning: Perhaps because he dislikes cleaning up after his entire household, Solo’s never been good at organizing.
..........Fighting with a staff: Not his weapon of choice, but the one he’s been able to become best at.
..........Illusions: While they are his only power, Solo’s never been able to properly master them. They still seem to be somewhat instable at times, disappearing for no reason or morphing with his mood.

.....Semi-okay at-
..........Fighting with a sword or dagger: Daggers are Solo’s weapon of choice, although he’s not all that great at it. But at least they can be lethal.

.....Bad at-
..........Being nice: It’s not in his nature to be nice to others, and he never really tries anyway. If he likes or cares for someone, he has his own ways of showing it.
..........Flying: Despite having wings, they’re not all that strong, and he can’t really support himself in the air. If he has to, he can glide with them, but trying to get off the ground is painful.
..........Math: While he’s proficient with words, he’s not nearly as good at math. The basics are about all he’s ever really mastered. HE, of course, chalks this up to never having been in school, but it’s actually just that he sucks at it.

.....Terrible at-
..........Art: Despite Aylee’s ability to draw as she pleases, Solo was always awful at it. He’d TRIED to be good at it, once. It didn’t really work out, and it doesn’t really bother him that he’s so bad at it.
..........Technological stuff: Another difference between himself and Aylee. He understands the basics of computers and microwaves and the like, but ask him how they actually WORK, and he’ll look at you like you’re nuts.
..........Showing his feelings: Understatement of the week, much? Not only does the kitsune boy hate showing people how he feels, but he never really knows how to. Besides, being an a*****e can be fun at times.
..........Video games: Unless you like easy wins, don’t bother trying to get Solo to play games with you. He’s never really understood the point.
..........Other Weaponry: While he’s decent at wielding staves, swords, and daggers, he’s never been able to get his mind around how to control other weapons. And never try to get him to use projectiles or throwing weapons. He’ll likely kill himself.
..........Aiming: Read above. More likely to kill himself than hurt anyone else. Even with rocks.
..........Dancing: ******** that. What is the POINT behind dancing, anyway? It’s just another way to show your feelings, and hell if he’ll be part of that.

Name: Aileen Safia Shiroko
Nicknames: Aylee (used as a regular name), Ay, Lee, Li, Channa (pronounced Shanna)
Physical Age: 17 (ish. She doesn't remember her exact age. How pathetic is that?!)
Mental Age: Probably about 12

Personality
.....Aylee's a bit of a flaky person, usually putting very little thought into her words or actions. Although she'd be the first to admit that she can be rather clueless, she's actually pretty intelligent. Why she never USES her brains is beyond everyone.

Despite the fact that she doesn't really know how to show it, Aylee loves her children, and Solo most of all. Even she can't say that she doesn't play favorites, and she feels rather guilty about that.
