The Middle Road

CAST OF CHARACTERS

In no particular order...

Martin, looking Martinny. Actually, comic-martin just takes one element of life-martin's appearance and runs with it... they don't look totally similar. Martin Marks. Goth 6 Hunger 7 Height 5'10" Age 19
Robe 9 Brit 8 Common Sense 4-5 Weight 120 lbs. Whiteness 98
A long and skinny doggish sort of fellow, Martin would be a 19th century british humorist did not fate hate him so. Overall instilled with more common sense and reasoning ability than is probably beneficial to someone in his position, Martin is probably the most level-headed person you would ever want to associate with if you're me. The kind of guy who would march on the state capital with signs in the right company, but pauses on adventures into the twelfth dimension to worry over the affairs of man. Overall, as loyal, intelligent, lustrous, and well-behaved as you would hope a dog of 120 lbs would be.

El. Based on myself, although in real life, I look less like a murderous pixie. Although I may just be saying that to discourage marriage proposals, which I wouldn't even look at anyway. El. Goth 6 Hunger 9 Height 5'8" Age Uncertain
Robe 9 Brit 3 Common Sense 0 Weight 250 lbs.? Whiteness 98
Bulky and somewhat mysterious, the unusual El delights in the torment of mortal souls, mostly through expeditions to goth clubs and karaoke bars. He wears those black things on his wrists all the time, although nobody really knows what they're supposed to be. Has sharp teeth, ostensibly for opening ketchup packets. A self proclaimed bastard, El constantly speaks his mind, much to the confusion of his companions. El will eat anything, mostly, although he distrusts non-artificial foods. Arguably the most consistantly drawn of the characters, his sideburns don't look like that in real life. Also, he is me.

Jenx, monochromatic queen of goths. Jen is great fun to draw, partially because she evolved from a little drawing on a napkin in which she had an enormous head. She's made of triangles, mostly because she's my sister, and I have no interest in drawing her curvy. Jenx. Goth 9.9 Hunger 4 Height 6'0" Age Uncertain
Robe 0 Brit 5 Common Sense 2 Weight 7.3 lbs.? Whiteness 98
Jenx, monochromatic queen of the goths and El's little sister. Not necessarily related to El, or anyone else for that matter, she has the same maddening quality of just slipping out of the ether with no reliable frame of reference. Jenx understands an amazing amount about how the world works for someone who seems to spend so much time tuning out said world. She has been spotted both jumping from the roof of semi-tall buildings and dancing upside-down with no visible means of support, although the reliability of the spotter is integral to the question of whether or not this merits a point of interest.

Kyrie, the opposite of Jenx in some ways, especially visually. Not made out of triangles, she is rather drawn out of curves to the most extent I was able. I think she looks cool that way, plus it comes the closest to actually making her look how she looks, which is always a bonus when characters are based on real people who are not your sister. Kyrie. Goth 5 Hunger 3 Height 5'1.5" Age Uncertain
Robe 1 Brit 4 Common Sense 8 Weight lbs.? oz.? Whiteness 98
Kyrie, the girl hiding under the table, is not about to be explained, here or anywhere else. Beyond that assertion, not much is known, although it is conceivable that more will become known in the near and/or distant future. Probably the distant future. Being incredibly shy, Kyrie is more likely not to be seen than the contestants in that Monty Python sketch, and almost as difficult to convince she will not be blown up. She carries a stress doll, which doll almost certainly curses cruel fate on a regular basis.

A frickin' ninja baby. Also called Shinobaby, but usually only late at night. Ninja Baby. Goth 0 Hunger 1 Height 2'0" Age 1 or lower.
Robe 0 Brit 0 Common Sense 9 Weight 9 lbs. Whiteness 46
It's a ninja baby. What do you people want? Some kind of explanation? Too bad. It's a baby, and a ninja. Explanation over.
