Gold

Piercing gold
Slicing through blinding flourescence
Mysterious
Nothing known 'bout it's essence

The gold

Knowing depth
Within the golden deep abyss
Scalding heat
Eminating from only this

The gold

By its touch
I lose the breath from my own lips
Its soft attack
Smiling while it suffocates

The gold

Smiles through
And suffocates the new victim
I'm it's prey
I am a willing victim to

The gold

Pasha Markovic

Pasha Markovic moved to Canada from Moscow, Russia a year and a half ago. His accent is strong, and woos many a teenage girl at his school.

Pasha is not without his good side, however. He is a natural born artist, a troubled poet, and talented writer.

Zuri Vermulakonda

Zuri Vermulakonda was born in South Africa. She and her mother moved to Canada five years ago when the aparthied became to much to bear. Her father remained in South Africa.

Zuri is the most socially integrated of her friends, she is a cheerleader, and knows all the best gossip. She refuses to hang out with the popular girls, and chooses to be with her group of misfitting friends.

Zuri's mother is a nurse at Vancouver General Hospital, where she takes care of Timothy Lewis, Avalon's father. Avalon and Mrs Vermulakonda knew each other long before Avalon started at Zuri's school.

Dylan Evans

Dylan Evans is Aeronwyn Evans' twin brother.

Unlike his sister, he is not obsessed with the fantastical. He is obsessed with fire.

A pyromaniac at heart, he knows everything there is to know about flammable substances and explosives.

He is a world class prankster, his jokes often involving a low-grade explosive or a well controlled fire. He keeps his jokes so small scale because he DOES understand that if he gets caught he will have to pay for the damages. The less damage caused, the less he potentially has to pay. He has never been caught.

Likes: Fire, explosives, fireworks, and rock music.

Dislikes: Sitting still, sleeping, and baggy clothes.

Aspirations: To become a stunt co-ordinator.

Aeronwyn Evans

Aeronwyn Evans and her brother Dylan have lived in Vancouver all their lives. Their parents immigrated from Ireland twenty years ago.

Aeronwyn has a flair for the fantastical; anything elven, vampiric, or magical is her speciality.

She rarely speaks, except on occasion to make an allusion to a fantastical or mythological phenominon.

Likes: Mythology, Lord of the Rings, witchcraft, tarot, and simple things in nature.

Dislikes: Reality, normality, and vanilla.

Aspirations: To be a fantasy writer.

Rafiq Nejem

Rafiq Nejem, also known as Rafe, was born in Iraq months before his family fled to Canada. He is a Muslim man, and he is constantly persecuted for it at school.

Rafiq is sympathetic to everybody, because he knows what it is like to be hated. He is always there to listen to everyones problems and he always gives advice to people to help them solve their problems.

Avalon Lewis

Avalon Lewis, aslso known as Ava, is the main character of my story. Her father was shot before the story began and is now in a coma at Vancouver General Hospital.

Ava spends most of her time brooding over her fathers case, still being investigated and only turning up dry leads. Ava dreams of one day being able to catch her fathers shooter and exact her revenge.

Ava was born in London, England, where her parents met. Her mother died shortly after Ava was born, leaving Ava's father, Timothy, alone to care for the girl.

Ava lives alone now at the age of 16, under the Independent living program (a program in Canada where older minors can live alone instead of going to a foster home) with a Tabby cat named Ziggy.

Likes: Sweet potatoes, murder mystery novels, yoga in Stanley Park every morning at 5 a.m. before going to visit her father.

Dislikes: Talking in excess (except to her father), being the centre of attention, fast sports.

Aspirations: Catch her fathers shooter, become a travel writer.

Characters

Alright, so I will admit that I got frightfully lazy and chose to find pictures online that looked like my characters instead of drawing them. I want to warn the readers that I do not know who any of these characters are, save Souske Sagara of Full Metal Panic, so I don't want to have any mix-ups with any of them. These are not the actual characters, they are look-alikes!

Projects Gallore

Well, I've decided after a schizophrenic writing spree that I am going to begin work on writing a mini series. By mini series I mean a series of of screen plays that will end up being a show. I may or may not try and use it to create a show on YouTube, but it will get written.

I will be posting updates on this project to see how far it gets. The pilot episode is being gestated (thought through before execution) and will be written soon, as soon as my characters have been developed.

My character profiles will be posted here quite soon, I will be sketching the people and posting the pictures of them here as well, so whoever actually reads this will be able to see how the process goes.

Just so everyone out there knows, I have never done any production work before, so this is a purely new experience for me. I will be writing the first season before any possible production happens.

Train of thought change: If I can't find anyone to actually act these out I will try and do a radio show/podcast thing with it... that would work easily! I need to figure out how to pay actors for this though... meh, all my friends are probably willing to work for food :D so that shouldn't be a problem.

So, aside from that I wanted to write about a new Application I added on Facebook this week. It's called Save the Planet. Basically what happens is you go on and play games to earn virtual money. You then take the money and spend it on various causes: Ending world hunger/thirst, helping homeless people, ending child abuse, saving the rainforest... all kinds of nice things! Then, annually, the creators of the app will do math to convert the virtual money into a real amount of money and write a cheque to each cause with real money to help. It's a great project, and I think that it really makes up for the materialism of the Western world and gives us a chance to help people less fortunate!

So, that is all for right now. I'm working on those characters so sit tight and I will have them up soon. Then I will see what I can do about production of this thing. I will do something. I promise!

Da Svidaniya,
Allie

Keeping Up

I seem to be the only person from my group of friends that has kept up with blogging. Not that I do much of it, it's just nice sometimes to put something up.

I have nothing to say tonight really, I have no inspiration tonight. I've been quite sad today really, and I really wish I could be less sad.

I know why I'm sad, but I won't tell anyone, for some reason. Oh well.

Yours, Allie.
