Thorn - *Stares in awe at the stars and starry effect on your skin, omg.* Excuse me, are you also in touch with Magic and Peace? I like to think I am a fairly magical and peaceful person, yes! =D *sticks out hand* Hi! My name's Astrophelle Valentina Alektos, and I'm an aasimar paladin. You're so shiny, I especially love the...swirly sparkly bits? So cool! Are you an aasimar too? You saved her with the power of friendship and support! It must have been nice to have Ev's help too! He can guide you and help you do the right thing, wow! Did Emily save you from your own family trying to summon demons, and that's why you gave her the necklace? Or did she give you a prettier necklace? Or! Or! Did she give you a navigating vessel? Ah, you always have to play nice with powerful people, even if they are rude, unfortunately. At least she helped your poor brother, in the end. Khamet soliloquizes about his brother.*she looks alarmed at the first statement* Oh? No, my family would never do something like that! Emily gave me a necklace we needed for...a very special quest! For a grumpy old gnome. The necklace was very special to her, it had a lot of sentimental value; but Emily knew we needed it and was sad to part with it, so I wanted to give her a new necklace that had special sentimental value! The gnome also sold me a pretty clockwork amulet, that um...here! *she shows him her weird bronze amulet, cogs visible, ticking away* Astrophelle listens, while thinking about her own foolish brother. |

Gelquie Hi Amani! Did you also acquire a "phone" from Anthony's homeworld? I did, yes! Some regular human in weird clothes who said they knew me told me I could borrow this. I'm still getting used to it, the keyboard is weird, and sometimes I see weird options? I mean- *Amani misclicks and posts an accidental selfie their left torso.* I don't know how I keep doing this! There's got to be some magic to this, maybe I can fix it so that I can direct my thoughts to it? Thorn - *Stares in awe at the stars and starry effect on your skin, omg.* Excuse me, are you also in touch with Magic and Peace? I like to think I am a fairly magical and peaceful person, yes! =D *sticks out hand* Hi! My name's Astrophelle Valentina Alektos, and I'm an aasimar paladin. You're so shiny, I especially love the...swirly sparkly bits? So cool! Are you an aasimar too? Thank you! It's a pleasure to meet you, Astrophelle. I am Amani. *Returns the handshake.* Ah no, sorry, I'm not an aasimar. Just a... regular half-elf. But I appreciate the compliment! Anyway, I was given a wondrous gift, and now I can measure to a fraction of the splendour that is the peace of night! I'm so glad you appreciate its splendour! Sometimes my companions misunderstand it. A lot of people do, actually... But neermind, I have my Peace and that's what's important! But to have the night reflected so well in your skin, that's incredible! And the sunset or sunrise of your hair! And an aasimar! You're a paladin, right? And starry! Do you know... a higher being, by chance? |

I have a huge soft spot for my snarkster, Setarian. His story was first written back some time in college and the re-write was finished during my gap year. It also just happened to be 50,000 words long, haha. But even though it took *forever* to write and edit, it was the first time I can honestly say I was proud of something that I wrote... and if not for him and his story, I don't think I'd be half the writer I am today. It was after that series that I started becoming a much more active member of the NTWF and of the NT as a whole. So, thank you, Setarian. *Squish hugs him* (And re-reading part one, I noticed an author's note shout out to both Liou and Duke Pikachu . Thank you both so, so much for looking it over all of those years ago.  ) |

How... interesting! It doesn't work that way, here; sentimental value only has value because of the thoughts and memories of a person... so did you give her the thoughts and memories associated with the necklace, so she could know why it was so valuable too? I like this! It has moving parts! I wish I had a necklace this good; maybe I should make one like it! I did, yes! Some regular human in weird clothes who said they knew me told me I could borrow this. I'm still getting used to it, the keyboard is weird, and sometimes I see weird options?

There's got to be some magic to this, maybe I can fix it so that I can direct my thoughts to it? Nice... torso? I think? It's very... uh... torso-like! Yeah! Sorry, I don't think this is a very good picture of you... Maybe there is some magic here! There is something called the "internet" that this has access too. Maybe if you ask this one person, Google, for help, they'll tell you how to use this thing! I have discovered "emojis". I think they are nice, though I don't know why you would use them over drawing your own facial expression! |

Google, how do I find peace? ... ...Hmm, okay, I don't think Google is very wise. It gave me a list of things like "Focus your attention on those things you can control," "Exercise," and "Be true to yourself," and yeah, it looks like crap. I know that's certainly not the way to get there or everyone would've found it!! And the world would be glorious for it!! But it's not!! The only one it got right is "Spend time in Nature." That's part of how you find Peace, especially at first! Maybe I need to educate Google. I know just who to introduce it to... Oh, but yeah, the emojis are... okay. They're not very good pictures. And none of them catch my starry regard. I know, I think I will draw other facial expressions! It's been a while, so I don't know if I'll be good enough, but it has been a while since I've drawn. |

Hey! Who's up for some Piximite Melee?? I just got the cutest Dracomite and I really want to see what he can do! We can exchange cards afterwards, too!
Oh wait, *squints* this isn't the Piximite Tramer's World Forum...

This is Car Johnson. He's a completely normal man who collects cow fetuses (and throws them tea parties), comes up with super sensible business ideas such as toy grave yards and speed marriage counseling, wants to be a country music superstar despite neither being from the country or knowing how to sing, and being the reason why flamethrowers have the warning, "Aim away from face."
He's a jerk with a heart of old newspaper, he's an odd version that irritating uncle who always manages to say something stupid and terrifying. Car's the answer to the age old question: What you combined a horrible person with a guy who tries to build a barbeque out of old bicycle parts and ends up causing meat flood through his neighborhood.

Okay. For original characters, I HAD to go with Professor Pachino.... Mostly because it's the only original character that has its own actual picture. Ha!
It was the Brightvale collab edition. My very first real NT submission, and I got a custom AND quote of the week. That seriously STILL makes me smile and shake my head in amazement. And I got my only custom just before they stopped doing custom images for NT articles. SO excited that I slipped just under the wire for my very own custom. And yes, I've definitely overused the word "custom" in this post.

Thank you! It's a pleasure to meet you, Astrophelle. I am Amani. *Returns the handshake.* Ah no, sorry, I'm not an aasimar. Just a... regular half-elf. But I appreciate the compliment! Anyway, I was given a wondrous gift, and now I can measure to a fraction of the splendour that is the peace of night! I'm so glad you appreciate its splendour! Sometimes my companions misunderstand it. A lot of people do, actually... But neermind, I have my Peace and that's what's important! But to have the night reflected so well in your skin, that's incredible! And the sunset or sunrise of your hair! And an aasimar! You're a paladin, right? And starry! Do you know... a higher being, by chance? Nice to meet you too, Amani! I'm sorry your friends don't understand, but I'm glad this wondrous gift has helped you find peace. I think my gifts help me help...others find peace. Maybe? It's all been a bit stressful for me personally lately, but I have my friends, and I have some tea, and- oh! Speaking of, did you want some lemon tea? It's very good! *she runs a hand through her hair* Gosh, thanks! And um, yeah. I do! I sort of help out at the hospital, and the White Chapel- that's Sune's temple here, that's why I wear gold and orange- but I wouldn't say I know Sune. Not as such. But I do know Evlavei! He's the angel who's taught me...pretty much everything. He's wise, but he's also so, so kind, and he doesn't let trying to save people on a broader scale take away from caring about me personally, and my wellbeing. Also he has pretty much the coolest suit I've ever seen, and I kinda wanna know how to get one? But I'm pretty sure as I know him he's just a projection of some sort. In my dreams. I doubt he owns an actual physical suit. So I doubt I'd get a very good answer. Oh, so you traded in sentimental value! How... interesting! It doesn't work that way, here; sentimental value only has value because of the thoughts and memories of a person... so did you give her the thoughts and memories associated with the necklace, so she could know why it was so valuable too? I like this! It has moving parts! I wish I had a necklace this good; maybe I should make one like it! Um...no, no I didn't give her those thoughts and memories. The sentimental value it held for me is different from what I hoped it would hold for her. Emily acted like I was the first friend she'd had in a long time, and she really liked me a whole lot! One time, I got turned to stone and she decorated me with like...pretty ribbons and things...and stayed by me until I stopped being a statue. Another time, I...almost died, actually. Weird cults and stuff. But she found me and brought me back from the brink, and we escaped together. I don't think I can ever repay her for that, but I thought the necklace would remind her that someone is thinking about her and that I care about her a lot. Yeah it's so cool! =D Are you good at making things? |

If it was cold, did she give you a fan? How was it like being a rock? I am very good at making things! It's okay, it's not, because I didn't mean to take it! Or have it added to the message!

And none of them catch my starry regard. I know, I think I will draw other facial expressions! It's been a while, so I don't know if I'll be good enough, but it has been a while since I've drawn. I think Anthony knows how to navigate this quite better than us. If only he were here... I think Google may have misunderstood you; I think it means to find peace in general, as in, to not be stressed all the time, as opposed to finding Ms. Maero over there. And besides, it's not like she's the only source of peace. She just draws her power from night's peace; drawing her power from something means it exists separately from her, which means there are other ways to find lowercase peace. But if you wanted Night's Peace, I think you'd do best to go at night into the woods. Or get another archfey to kindly send a letter to her. I am feeling rather confused right now! I will draw a confused face! Khamet uploads an image of a confused face drawn on paper.

My, my, are we experiencing technical difficulties? Well, I fancy myself a dab hand at dealing with electronics at times--perhaps I could be of some assistance.

I have a ton of characters too, soooo I just went with my arguably most recent one! From the latest Halloween NT: Penny the Korbat! She's a magical girl who wants to become a real witch. Also, I don't pretend to be a visual artist by any stretch of the imagination, so trying to create this avatar was more an exercise in me getting better acquainted at Inkscape than anything.  |
