#fictional aus

Sun --wOW Who knew the celestial embodiment of light and warmth could give you chills with her singing!?

--Constantly glowing, but it intensifies with the magnitude of her joy. Bring sunglasses if you’re going to do something nice for her.

--An ethereal, almost mythic figure. It’s hard not to be in awe of her.

--Powers over fire and heat!

Giraffe --Tolest boy among the masks, ever. Rarely has trouble with doorframes, etc., but do you remember that one Vine of Shaq walking into a cardboard display arch and having to catch it? A very distinct possibility.

--Manages to mix silliness with sophistication all the dang time--Remarkably bendy and flexible.

--This tall boy can fit into remarkably small spaces... Popcorn --Made a career out of love, in a slightly different way than her secret identity. Your go-to romantic advice expert.

--Carries real popcorn in her hoop skirt. Always willing to share. You need only ask! Dragon --Looks like he could kill you, and he *could*, but he won’t if you’re at least a decent person

--Has a hoard with varying levels of organization. His bed is a pile of gold coins and similarly shiny bits, but his more unique prizes have their own shelves and shadowboxes Snow Owls --The cutest heckin’ sweethearts since Frog and Kitty. Actually, when people (including Frog and Kitty themselves) think about their romantic future, they imagine something like the Snow Owls.

--Sir Owl’s a bit of a jokester, sometimes to the surprise and/or chagrin of Lady Owl. reminds me of my Dad???

--Their egg is their preferred mode of transportation and their usual bed. They just sink in and be snug.

--Consistently stuns everyone with their regal feathering when they do step out of their egg (usually to mingle once they’ve arrived at their intended destination)

--Their singing WILL give you chills. Crocodile --Man has range. His versatility and adaptability are his charm points!

--Will be the crocodile in the moat for funzies if you simply ask nicely. jazz hands

--Has, can, and will swim in full pink tux, top hat, and feathered cloak.

Baby Alien --Actual baby/toddler mannerisms. The spaceship is his main means of transport because his motor skills are still developing. Well, except to *control* the ship, of course.

--No relation to Alien, but they are friends! Incidentally, it’s Gremlin who he considers a weird big brother.

--Everyone will baby this alien. EVERYONE. He is to the masks what Pichu and Isabelle are to Smash Bros. if that means anything to you (Granted, the masks are all consistently sweet characters while Smash has a lil handful of Actual Villains…) Seahorse --Remarkable hydration retention for a sea creature. Consider the Wild West theme of her early clue packages.

--Similarly, favorite plants are cacti, with succulents a close second. Has the cutest low-water indoor garden.

--Diva on the stage, sweetheart off-stage. Watchamacallit --Considered a cousin to the ever-growing Monster found family

--Frequently carries a comb in some of his locks. They need constant maintenance!

--Doesn’t actually get too mad if you mess with his hair. Hair can be fixed. He’s been more upset about losing combs, though, since after a while, you kind of bond with the things you use a lot, you know? Still, it never bothers him for too long. Serpent --”Why Serpent and not Cobra?” “Have you ever seen a cobra with six tails?”

--Apparently, other Serpents of his kind can look like other… well, serpents.

--The ssssssmoothest voice. People tend to trip over themselves around him once they hear him talk/sing

--Looks like he could kill you but is a cinnamon roll Gremlin --As he himself stated, he has sweet and wild sides. Can be unpredictable.

--Has, can, and WILL eat ANYTHING.

--Like his namesake, don’t heckin’ feed him after midnight. In his case, however, he will simply never sleep. Until he crashes mid-activity at some point the next day. Whoops

--Unlike his namesake, however, he won’t multiply if you get him wet. Nor will sunlight kill him, or there would have been serious cast mingling problems. Squiggly Monster --Likes hats. :3

--Considered like a strange uncle to the ever-growing Monster found family

--He’s basically a fuzzy spider and can move around as such. Count his limbs again...

Mushroom --Male? Female? Both? Neither? They don’t care. They’re a mushroom. (Even though, yes, their secret identity is male.)

--The lil squirrel is a friend!!

--Likes fun guy/fungi puns. Doesn’t exactly like implications they can get you high. Jellyfish --Really is bioluminescent!

--Literally carries a water bottle, all the time. Jellyfish are literally mostly water!!

--In turn also wants to make sure you’re hydrated. When was the last time you had some water? Or any liquid, if you’re not into water? (Some people really aren’t!) Broccoli

--Remarkably in-tune with modern tech and culture despite his age. The one oldie you can count on to not ask a very odd question like “How do I download the Internet?”

--Has been helping Deer with his old knees ever since they met. They’re workout buddies!

--Prone to busting out some good ol’ rock n’ roll anywhere, anytime. Sing along if you know the words! Lips --Big talker. Not *gossipy*, just really excited to tell people what’s been going on. 

--Actually, a bigger chatterbox than Mouse: even during performances she can’t help but interject. I mean, you saw her!

White Tiger

--oh get a load of THIS character

--Not very good at performing. Does it anyway. :P

--Could punch your lights out but probably won’t

--Football player--practices/plays with Hippo pretty often

--Down for just about anything, really

Turtle

--Heartthrob and he knows it, but remains humble and modest

--Still, people trip over themselves around him.

--The spines are for real--he really can’t be on waterbeds, air mattresses, etc. without risking tearing them up

--As a result, mostly sleeps in hammocks with holes big enough to accommodate him

--Unafraid to bend and break the rules

--“You’re only in trouble if you get caught.”

--Sees Astronaut as something of a little brother and friendly rival at the same time (I’d been feeling this but @twincookies‘ HCs exacerbated it. Thanks, twins!)

Llama

--A llama centaur, essentially -- he really does have six limbs! It’s a unique experience.

--Doesn’t care if a joke seems like a low-hanging fruit, he WILL go for it. And then crack up.

--Game show aficionado

--Enjoys photography, but is more relaxed about it than Leopard. They’ve absolutely compared photos, though.

--Enjoys improv, especially with Fox. They crack each other up pretty easily.

Miss Monster

--Love at first sight with Monster--though she saw him first

--Treats Thingamajig like her own son.

--VERY durable. Most likely to attempt a dumb stunt, since he can get away with it.

--Things still hurt, but it doesn’t last anywhere near as long for him.

--Coily limbs mean he has some stretching capabilities.

--Enjoys skateboarding, especially with Elephant. Egg often joins them, but more likely on roller blades.

--Best skateboarder/non-motor-but-still-wheels sportsman of the masks

--Capable of operatic singing, but prefers more popular styles

--Appreciative of Leopard’s doting

--Kitty/Frog 5ever honestly

Taco

--Surprisingly fast for his build and age

Night Angel

--Really can fly!

--Much like Flamingo, relentlessly encourages others even when she wasn’t too confident in herself

--Equally capable of being dangerous and sweet

--The hardest to read of the masks

Bear

--Heaviest sleeper of all the masks--hibernation is never entirely out of the question, and it often takes a lot of effort to wake her up

--Mama Bear streak--errs on the side of protectiveness

--Not a fan of swearing or recreational substances, but she knows she’s not gonna change anyone’s mind, either

--Adorable and adored

--Friendly sibling-like rivalry with Turtle (again, thanks twincookies!)

T-Rex

--Nickname “TT”. THE MOST energetic of all the masks. She can go and go and go, even more than Flamingo!

Penguin

--Most likely to give out butt pats (with permission)

—BOUNCES when happy or excited. Or as a general performance move.

—Love at First Sight with Miss Monster. He absolutely bounced when he saw her for the first time. Everyone melted.

—Capable of scaring the shit out of anyone, but wouldn’t hurt anyone who didn’t deserve it

—That being said, if you fuck with him or his friends or are just generally terrible, his revenge will be slow, subtle, and mindbreaking. Nice work, dummy.
