Description

Two original characters of mine: Jin and Twil.
This was very quickly done, so please forgive the poor quality. Jin is supposed to be so much prettier than that. T.T She's a more vital character to the story than Twil is (though I love Twil!). Jin is supposed to be looking over her shoulder but.... blah. And yes, Jin has a ton of hair. And Twil's eyes ARE indeed gold.
Gah.... the colors were smeared..... T.T DO NOT pair Copic markers with non-Copic pens!

Anywho...... In this story, many people are born with a mark somewhere on their body. If a mark is present on a person, it means that have the ability to use magic, and the mark is a representation of the speciality.

Jin is 23, and lives in a secluded cottage with her 16 year-old brother, Myjha. She is very fond and protective of him. Jin's mark, which is on the back of her right shoulder (it's under her shirt, but I drew it so you could see what it looked like) is symbolic of water and life. Jin runs a small ferry over the river that connects five central cities. She is very skilled at this and is paid highly for his skills, especially due to the fact that the waters of the river are considered haunted and are filled with monsters. At least, that's what everyone believes. ;) Also, Jin has a keen sense for brewing natural remedies. Many of the ill and sick of the surrounding cities come to her for help. However, unless her abilities as a healer or guide are required, many people shun her. People who do not have mark rarely trust people who do have marks. Despite this, Jin has a positive and happy outlook on life.

Twil's mark, as seen on her jaw line, is representative of fortune. This ability is a highly prized ability, much to Twil's unhappiness. She was orphaned at a young age, and with no family to protect her, was turned into a slave and sold from master to master. Her mark gives her the ability to give someone vast amounts of wealth and/or success, kind of like the touch of King Midas. However, due to the fact that the world seeks balance, whenever Twil give's someone wealth, the fortune of an unknown person is stripped from them. Thus, Twil does not like to use her abilities. When she a Jin meet, she is being auctioned off in a public square. As can be imagined, due to her mark, people are frantic to own her.

Twil, very much like Myjah (Jin's younger brother) is untrusting of the world. However, she and Jin soon become friends.

Hopefully I can add more pictures of more characters later. And hopefully I can post a prettier picture of Jin. XD
