You are very magnanimous. But if you want to play I can just exclude you from the drawing. Make a new one if you got a new character class -- love to see them. <3

9, Bywur, December/Bellweather, Male (he/him)

This is always fun, and it's something that's very Substack specific, so thanks Kelly for finding new and interesting ways to use the platform :D

Hell yeah character creator day.

9 sprite, mechyal, male

9! 3 of 4 there. My sense of direction is pretty good, but math is my nemesis. I need to go back and look because i think i said that last year.

Mechyal because it sounds like “mechs y’all!” Hell yeah mechs. Anyway, i probably need more coffee or less. One of those things.

Thanks for bringing back the character creator game Kelly :D

8 -- Myrti -- Shifter -- Gender-fluid

Once ate a block of cheese I college, still walked to the grocery store and bought these awful (but still yummy?) frozen burritos. I think we went to IHOP thereafter. Also. I just love the smell of lilacs.

Haha. I've eaten at LEAST one block of cheese in my lifetime too. Lilacs are arguably, the best. Lavender a close second for me.

10, Bukavac, Fraudroch, male

On Wikipedia they say a bukavac comes "out of the water during the night to make a loud noise". Fits! Oh, this brings out the child in me! What a heap of fun.

I sort of already love them?

For some reason that seems like the PERFECT name for a shifter.

8, Elf, Grugoro, Male (He/Him)

As usual I spent too much time laboring over the name even though it's only the vowels, but I had trouble deciding on a number/personality this time too. 3 is maybe more accurate to real me, but I think the cheese won me over to 8. Not sure what that says about me hahaha

Cheese usually wins me over as well.

Your name has the "Grogu" heat on it. :D

9, October/Death Shard, Dinaal, nonbinary they/them

A Death Shard that can mess you up with some limited karate but runs at the mere sight of number computation? C’mon, that’s good stuff. Also, they proceed to immediately get lost after running away (no I can’t relate to any of these attributes, shut up)

Yes! Death Shard!

I sorta hope you win with that write up. lol
