About Me:

I write because it's fun and relaxing. My main inspirations are caused by what-if scenarios, but mostly me recreating the things I cherished in my childhood and turning them into terrifying monsters. Although, I keep a childish and whimsical mindset when creating some of them. You can thank Tim Burton and Stephen King for that. I like the Inheritance saga, and many of Stephen King's books and movies. I like to RP every now and then. For now, I'm just practicing. Some of their themes have not been decided or found yet. Before I start anything, I better introduce you to some of the characters I have so far.

Characters:

Whiteshade: The queen of Fantanzia. She was born a peasant, and her younger brother, Ironclaw, was greedy. She took up any job she could to provide for her family as much as she can. When they were teenagers... let's just say Ironclaw took it a little too far, and the were-cats and the were-wolves declared war on each other. Whiteshade found out the truth and put the war to an end. With the previous kings and queens dead (they were all divided in different kingdoms according to race back then), she participated in the election, and was chosen queen of Fantanzia (she was the youngest queen in Fantanzia's history, and brought all races together). Ironclaw was furious and tried to kill her. Whiteshade foresaw the event and the future of Fantanzia and the human world were hanging in the balance. If he took over, the world would be drenched in blood and become a desolate place. She put everyone else before her and killed him. She still suffers from the guilt. but it had to be done to protect us. She is a were-cat. She has a white sweeping plume of a tail, white cat ears, and stunning green eyes with gold flecks around the pupil. Her cat from is a beautiful white Turkish Angora. Were-cats have two other forms, but I describe them every time in the stories. She can control anything that deals with the element of earth (including trees). Her theme is Land of the Free by Adrian Von Ziegler.

Ironclaw: Whiteshade's younger brother (deceased). He was ruthless, always stole whatever wasn't rightfully his. He stole form his family while Whiteshade slaved away. He took it too far, and triggered the civil war in Fantanzia (The Great War). He tried to kill Whiteshade, but she killed him. He too is a were-cat.

Dusk: She is the general of Whiteshade's army (or used to be, she's retired now, but she still has a lot of fight left in her, trust me). She has gone mad over the years and lives in an enormous Gothic mansion that appears to be abandoned. She has an impressive collection of possessed machinery, and is an inventor. She lost her one love in a car crash (he drove a hearse for a normal car, ironic), and vowed to never love again. She has a liking for steampunk, and has a strong interest in the paranormal. She usually wears a dress that is black and slightly tattered at the end of the sleeves and the bottom of the dress (she has an unusual taste in fashion). She was wounded in action, and had her fair share of misery, leading to her retirement at her young age. She was bound to be driven mad at the very beginning. She witnessed her mother get murdered right in front of her when she was just a little girl. Her father was an alcoholic and was homeless. He didn't even know she existed (he met his demise by getting run over by an oncoming train). The mix of her parents, the misery of war, and the possessed machinery was a bit too much for her. Despite her appearance and tendency to murder, she has a kind heart (if you don't anger her). She has the ability to control anything made of metal, runs on electricity, or anything considered a machine, which lets her control electricity, which leads into fire (oh boy). She has the mouth of a sailor (and she's not planning on changing that any time soon). She has a black cat tail with a white tip, spiked collar, bracelets, and anklets, and had black cat ears. She has one spiked bracelet on her tail. Her theme is Bad Blood by Creature Feature.

Dolor(Pain): He is the most advanced A.I any human has ever seen. To say he's enormous is an understatement. He is a black mechanical dragon with copper plates to form his underbelly, and red electric eyes that are the size of dinner plates. Dusk started creating him in 1920, and finished him in 1980. She discovered technology, and gave him an A.I. His name is Latin for Pain, fitting for what she uses him for. He is a weapon of mass destruction, and is called "The Doom Bringer" by fellow soldiers for a reason. To see him in battle is a death sentence. Despite his large size, he is understanding, and values honor above all. He is steam-powered.

Athena: She is the more up to date version of Dolor. She's just as big as him, but more affable. She is silver, with blue electric eyes. Just like Dolor, she values honor. Dusk prefers to use Dolor though. She is diesel powered.

Zakroah: A golden mechanical steampunk horse. She obeys Dusk's commands without question.

Igor: A golden steampunk style machine and is of decent size. He is a bit on the shy side, and hides somewhere in the mansion.

The Mangler (yet to be named): This character hasn't been named yet. It is possessed by a demon, and is a homage to the master of horror, Stephen King. It is extremely dangerous, moody, and unpredictable, but it obeys Dusk regardless. It is the one machine you should watch out for. You definitely don't want to come across at night. Two employees tried to exorcise the demon, but it broke free from the industrial laundry it was used at, and went on a rampage. Dusk managed to calm the beast and brought it back under control. That doesn't mean it doesn't snap every once in a while.

Felix: An old orange animatronic fox. When his soul was in a mortal body, he used to work for an animatronic manufacturing company, and he built the animatronic for his kids. When he died, he loved the animatronic so much, his soul took over the machine when he died. His wife was unaware of it, and tossed him into the dump. Dusk found him and repaired him as much as she could. He is the first possessed machine she had ever acquired, and was the one that started it all. He is the friendliest machine you can encounter. He wants to make people happy, and sometimes protects you from Dusk. He has a tendency to fall apart.

Skully: He is a possessed 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood hearse that was customized. His mortal body was a taxi driver, until he collided head on with the hearse. He was the most aggressive machine Dusk had ever handled, but after several years, he calmed down and means no harm (unless you hurt Dusk in any way, then you're screwed). His eyes are his headlights. They are black with just small white dots for pupils. He has a toothy looking grill for a mouth. He has been been behind the wheel of the hearse for so long, he has turned every internal mechanical component of the hearse into organs, making him bio-mechanical. Of course, Dusk was thrilled with this discovery. As long as you leave him and Dusk alone, he'll leave you alone.

Hades: He is a possessed Perre Marquet steam locomotive. When he was still alive, he was a brakeman, until the train he was on collided with an oncoming passenger train, causing an explosion that could be heard from the other side of town. All the crew, and passengers died in that fiery crash. The explosion itself was so strong, and the impact had so much force, his mortal body was sent flying all the way to the head unit. The bodies were recovered, but most were burned beyond recognition, as the case with what happened to Hades's mortal human body. In 1999, he was later found by a local railway museum, where he was quickly restored. He was quick to make his presence known. It wasn't until he claimed the life of a tourist, when Dusk was finally called, and discovered the locomotive had been possessed by the brakeman, whose anger with the arrogant engineer that caused the crash, made him into a malevolent force some people call a demon. He is pure black, and his cab windows glow orange when the demon is behind the helm of the engine, and act as his eyes. His boiler is split in half, creating a snout of sorts, and the jagged metal acts as his formidable teeth. He is only able to show himself through the engine if he is coupled up to a train, and if he decides to show himself to an unlucky soul. His number on his tender is 999, which flipped upside down, will give you an evil number. The owner of the museum decided to leave that number on him as a warning to anyone who dares to approach the demonic locomotive.

Plague: He is the closest thing I will probably get to a character that is a zombie. He is a black horse with milky white eyes, burn scars on his body, more notably on his back, and face as if he were struck by lightning. He foams at the mouth, and does not act like any other horse. He rams into obstacles, bucks, and snaps his jaws at all who dare to approach him. However, once he is mounted, he is perfectly calm. He was created through black magic, and his master and creator died shortly after creating him. Now he roams wherever he pleases, searching for his next rider. He is never startled, nor is he capable of feeling pain. He does not tire, so he can run for as long his rider wishes, and he is as fast as a race horse despite his strong build.

Thorn: Whiteshade's one love. He is a muscular were-dragon, with black hair and amber eyes that glow like hot coals. He is quite the gentleman, and a Casanova, but he's loyal to Whiteshade. He was the prince of the were-dragons before hand.

Ravenfur: Whiteshade and Thorn's adopted son. Whiteshade knew his mother personally, and found him abandoned on the castle doorstep. Whiteshade took him in, and shortly after, his birth mother died. He is shy. He has a black cat tail, black cat ears, and amber eyes. He has the ability to control water.

Saphire: A human basilisk. She has a heart of gold, and has the mind set of a gentle loving mother. She sees everyone as equals, and doesn't discriminate. Her theme is Hail to the King by Adrian Von Ziegler.

Willowfern(still under construction): She is a member of Fantanzia's air force. She's retired now because Fantanzia is at peace, but she is still ready to fight if needed. She rides Fulgar, her dragon.

Fulgar: A black dragon with silver wing membranes, and piercing blue eyes. He is a bit on the vain side, but he never hesitates to take action.

Wildmask(being remodeled).

Shadowpelt (still under construction).

Poseidon: Ravenfur's sargasso. He is playful, and energetic.

Shadow: A monster car, and one of Whiteshade's "pets". She is Storm's twin sister, and her make and model is yet to be determined, but is somewhere between 1957 to 1959 Cadillac. She is black and white. She's very protective of Ravenfur.

Storm: Also a monster car, and Whiteshade's other "pet". He is Shadow's twin brother, and one of the largest monster cars to ever be recorded. He is the same make and model as Shadow. He is black and has silver lightning bolts down his sides. He is very protective of his sister, Shadow.

Sanctitus(purity): He is Whiteshade's personal dragon. He is pure white, and has blue eyes. He is a mix of Frost and European dragon. His name means purity in Latin. He is always concerned about Whiteshade's well-being. His theme is Alpha by Adrian Von Zielger.

Scorcher: Saphire's dwarf dragon. He is a mischievous little bugger, and likes to push your buttons. He is light blue with piercing green eyes.

Edgar: A homage to Edgar Allen Poe. He is a raven that is very annoying in Dusk's mansion. He was a gift from Tenebris.

Coal: One of my two Starlight Express OCs, he used to be a friendly, and outgoing steam engine until he was sent to the scrapyard, and was left to slowly rot away, and die. Enraged, he escaped the scrapyard, leaving a trail of death in his wake. He wandered from train yard to train yard, keeping a low profile until he was discovered, mangled, and rotted, by a worker in the Apollo Victoria. He was sent to the workshop to be restored back to his former glory. Now, he is forever angry with mankind, and will stop at nothing to get revenge by killing every human he sees at night. He works in the freight yard by day, then goes on the hunt by nightfall, but he refuses to leave the train yard. His theme is Go Tell Aunt Rhody (Resident Evil 7 theme).

Freakshow: My other Starlight Express OC, as her name suggests, she is a total freak. She was built out of scrap parts by a group of college seniors to show off their prowess to the underclassmen. She was a laughing stock at the campus, displayed as if she was a freak at a circus sideshow, until she had enough of the torture, and broke out of the campus workshop. She stuck to the shadows, and never dared to show her face to anyone. When she discovered the Apollo Victoria, she found Coal, or more likely, Coal found her. Coal sympathized with her, and and befriended her. That was when she decided to stay, but she is still hiding in the shadows, out of fear Control would find her and scrap her for her horrid appearance. Before the she, and Coal knew it, they fell in love with each other, and Coal started seeing her at night in an abandoned shed on the borders of the train yard. Her theme is yet to be determined.

Anyway, enough of my characters. Here's some of the stuff I like:

About Fantanzia:

It is a small island in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle, where it is guarded by sea serpents, and magnetic fields that jam any radars or any other devices. It is a land of mystery, and not very many legends surround this island. The magnetic fields have attracted some of the most feared beasts known to man, including dragons, and sea serpents. Were-cats are the most powerful race on Fantanzia, extremely wealthy, and have an unnamed language that has awesome power. Were-dragons are the second most powerful race. They are known for their strength. Human basilisks are next. They can transform into any creature whether it is mythical or not. Were-wolves are the least powerful race. All they want to do is party, and are known to have a sweet tooth.

The concepts of Fantanzia, Machina, and all of my characters belong to me! If you want to use them, please ask me, and/or credit me in the summary! Please note that before I even THINK about typing my stories that I write my stories down on paper, which means that you might not hear from me for months, or even years because it takes time to perfect my works. However, once I have my story written and edited, I should have it on here in no time. If you want to see the original manuscript for any of my stories (I'm just that kind of person that is more than happy as to what happened behind the scenes), just let me know in the reviews, or even just message me (if you're a member), and I will post it as soon as possible (if I can find it because I clean out my binders every so often, and some stories don't even make it past the writing stage). Thank you for your patience, and remember as Dusk always says, "There's no such thing as normal!" ;0)
