Oh geeze, this is gonna be tough, but I’ll just make do:

01. What does your character’s name mean? Did you pick it for the symbolism, or did you just like the way it sounded?

Sheut literally means Shadows in Egyptian, where he was originally inspired

Mer was originally a combination of Ur from Avalon Code, and Markiplier, which were the ones who inspired his design and concept. But since Mar and Mur sounded and looked weird, I settled on using Mer instead, which sounds more like Ur.

This one was tough, but I guess I’ll use Marlei, which she was a combination of my friend, Marissa, and Mielei from Avalon Code, who she was inspired and designed from.

 03. What would be their favorite physical trait about themselves?

Sheut? Let’s just say it’s not a PG-13 answer.

Mer probably would have to say his hair and beard.

And Marlei is honestly a bit self-conscious of herself, and doesn’t really find herself very attractive... Until much later...

06. Do they have any hobbies that their lover finds unusual, odd, or otherwise annoying?

Besides his “past time”, the other thing Sheut likes to do is travel, and see things most don’t dare to try looking for. It’s partly for thrill, and partly to get away from others.

Mer’s is actually reading, which he had to teach himself how to read Braille. Eventually, he learns how to read both Braille and written text, but it’s definitely something he had to work at. He just loves diving into a good book.

OH BOY, HERE WE GO!

Sheut:

His guilty pleasures is something that has never changed for him, and that’s enjoying some more “adult friendly” sporting activities. Not gonna say exactly for the younger audience, but yeah.....His biggest pet peeves is probably people who barrel into danger without thinking *cough cough* spoilers: there’s a character like this in his story *cough cough* and ending up constantly helping them.

Mer:

Mer loves spoiling his family, mainly his eventual wife, with little gestures and gifts, like bringing home a book he believes his daughter might enjoy, or taking his wife to a nice spot just to spend time with her. He just loves his family a lot, ok?! XD

However, he HATES people who resort to violence or rashness, mainly why at first, he doesn’t get along with either Jampo or Zaeros

Jampo:

Jampo loves having fun, even going so far as pulling silly pranks. He always makes sure that they won’t go too far, unless his victim is a lot more tense than he thought. Also, he loves meeting new people, and making friends.

But this firecracker gets easily angered, especially anyone who ends up treating him like a child, or a monster. Especially since he’s almost demon-like in appearance.

Marlei:

Marlei absolutely loves gardening, and getting her hands dirty in soil and plants. She also loves giving treats to people she cares about as well.

Like Mer, she hates violence, but will go further lengths to avoid it, if possible. That, and anyone who underestimates her. She IS magically the most powerful, and she WILL remind you, as a last resort.

Sieki:

A woman of simple things, she enjoys flying, and enjoying the little things in life, like walking through a garden, or reading a good book.

OH BOY, if I had a ship with one of your ocs and mine, I’d definitely would do it, so forgive me on that! ;w;

BUT HERE WE GO!

1. “Aah! That tickles!”

Samly (Sammy/Myself)

The little leprechaun’s face was so deep in his notes and papers working on his new song that he never noticed Kelly slip into the room, sneaking behind him and began to tickle him, making him jump a bit.

“AAH! THAT TICKLES!” Sammy began to laugh as he wiggled in his tall girlfriend’s arms

Kelly laughed as she finally showed mercy to him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

“Whatcha up to, babe? You’ve been in here for a while, and it’s been hours since you’ve eaten or slept!”

He groggily laughed.

“Ah did it again, didn’t Ah...?”

Kelly nodded, making him sigh.

“Ya know ‘ow I get when Ah get inspired ta write a new song...!”

“I know, honey, but you’re going to make yourself sick if you don’t take better care of yourself! Come on, Sweetheart; let’s get you something to eat and catch up on your sleep.”

She picked him up, holding him like a large teddy bear as she began leaving their bedroom.

“H-HEY! K-KEL!”

“This is your fault for being so irresponsible, mister!  Now that you’re torn away from your work, let me spoil you a bit.”

He turned three shades of red.

“Ya all Ah need ta spoil me.”

Kelly pecked his cheek.

“You’re so adorable, you know that...?”

3. “Woah what happened while I was gone”

Thunder Bird (Mer/Ashlei)

Ashlei stepped inside the house, nearly dropping the groceries in her arms at the sight before her.

Her husband hand their sons, Augustus and Issac, under each of his arms, while their third son, Ray, was hanging by his shirt in Mer’s hand. All four boys looked at Ashlei with horror.

“U-uh.... I-I can explain...!” Mer sputtered, carefully setting each of his sons down on the ground

Their daughter burst into laughter as she sat in the corner of the room.

“Dad was trying to stop Augustus and Issac from bringing a thunderstorm inside the house, and Ray thought something wrong was going on, so he started making thunder clap noises in sheer panic. 

This is why you can’t leave these boys with Dad all alone.”

Ashlei sat down her groceries, and crossed her arms, and glared at the young girl.

“I know you’re a smart girl, but I doubt you’re blameless. Did you bet your brothers again on who’s powers were better again?!”

Elysia went pale. Her mother sighed, walking in, and picking up and resting Issac on her hip, then held one of Ray’s hands, and kissed Augustus’s head.

“I know you love your children, Mer, but you aren’t always the best at keeping them in line...”

Mer nervously laughed.

“I just don’t want to be too strict with them! I want to be the best father I can, and...”

Ashlei placed a free finger over his lips with a smile.

“I love you, Mer... Even if you can’t always keep our children in line...”

“I love you too, Stella, and I’m trying my best...”

“I know, love... I know...”

25. “I’m fine”

A sneak peek into some Zaeros/Marlei shipping, cuz I wanna write some cute shit with these two

His enormous tail twitted as he paced back and forth, growling.

Marlei stepped into the room, right away noticing his irritated behavior, and slowly approached him.

“Zaeros...? What’s wrong...? You seem a bit upset...”

His gaze snapped to look at the tiny fairy, glaring at her and growling.

“I’m FINE.”

Marlei glared back, her normally calm and gentle aura was replaced with a much more stern, and empowering one.

“ZAEROS! ENOUGH!”

The giant monster’s eyes grew wide, taking a step back. He was a bit surprised seeing such a side coming from the tiny fairy.

“Look, it’s obvious you’re upset, but please calm down, ok? I’m willing to listen to you...”

Sighing, he sat down from where he stood.

“Forgive me for lashing out at you, Marlei... I’m just... Frustrated with my sister...”

She stood before him, wrapping her arms carefully around his huge head, his face turning a slight shade of silver. Something about being in her arms felt... Calming...

“I know you love your sister, Zaeros, but she is an adult, and she is trying to be responsible with her duties. And as much as you two fight, I know she loves you too, otherwise she would have tried getting away from you more than once...”

“I... Suppose you’re right... But she’s the only family I have left... A-And...”

The little fairy gave a little squeeze.

“I understand, Zaeros... I really do... But please... Trust your sister... And us...” he small hands began to stroke his hair, “... Especially me...”

She was blushing herself, not sure why her heart felt so warm with him in her arms.

Thank you for all who came out to celebrate the Book Spirits’s Creation Day!

I will still be taking questions about them today, but again, thank you so much! It was a lot of fun, and I got a lot done! <3
