      The characters have pretty inconsistent heights. I try to keep them generally proportional to each other, but I don't have a standard for exactly how tall everyone is. I plan to do another series after Archipelago, and if I do I'm definitely making a height chart at the start for my own reference. There's a lot of lessons I've learned that I plan to put into action in future projects, and a height chart is one of them.

      78, too many to name all at once. If he ever comes back into the story we'll see more of them.

      Possibly. It's basically keeping a soul inside its body but removing it's ability to manipulate that body.

      Recently I've been very interested in Gunnerkrigg Court, Monster Pulse, and Nimona. Those are getting a lot of attention at the moment, I definitely recommend them. I also enjoy Kevin and Kell, Johnny Wander, Vattu, and Weregeek. I've got a few new ones I've noticed lined up for when I have time to do some more comic reading that I'm looking forward to.

      Hmm, I think Kor and I have pretty different philosophies. He's a very laid back, go with the flow, live and let live kind of guy, where I'm more stubborn and unmoving. Uru and I have very different thoughts on how the world works (I won't say why since it's kind of spoilery). I think all of my characters have some views that aren't mine, just as they all have a bit of myself in them as well.

      June is a good name, but we thankfully were able to find the puppy a home! Her new family has a huge yard, little kids who love puppies, and another dog to play with. Plus we're friends with the family so we get to have updates on how the puppy's doing.

      It was the name of an inn from an online RP I was in when I was about 13? 14 maybe? I liked the sound of it, and it's served me well as a default username.

      Oh yeah, that used to be my goal before I turned my attention to comics. I've even written a few short stories for my personal amusement. I just think in such a visual way that comics make more sense for telling my stories.

      Hmm, it's hard to say. I'd say epic disasters but throughout history when horrible plague or natural disaster struck people said it meant the world was about to end. The world's always ending for somebody.
      I guess nothing short of trumpets blaring, seas boiling, Jesus returning would actually convince me it's happening NOW. I don't think it pays to try to guess WHEN it will happen, only that we need to value the time we have.

      One or two page scribbles about magical creatures usually. When I say they never stick I mean it, I usually couldn't do more than one page before completely losing interest.

      The concept of a bunch of cheese, meat, and vegetables on top of bread will always survive. They probably don't have pizza in the exact shape we know, but they'd have some equivalent of it.

      Were-whales are slightly better on land in their best form. Their hind legs are slightly stronger, which means they can run faster.

      Also, I just realized I mentioned in an earlier answer that were-whales are equipped to breathe fresh and salt water which they wouldn't be, because orcas don't have gills. XD Sorry about that.

    18. TheSilverTopHat

      Some species of were-creature have 'triggers' that can cause them to transform or just bring out the beast in them. With were-wolves it was a full moon, with shark-men it's the scent of fresh blood.

    19. TheSilverTopHat

      Hmm, maybe. The thing about characters is that I keep coming up with new ones I want to use. If I can find a place for old characters that'd be great.
