Info Click for more

If a certain field is missing or not specific enough, then it is open to interpretation.

For example, if a character's sexuality is not given, then you can let it be anything you want.

And if the "gender" field only says "Male" or "Female" without specifying further, it means that the character presents as either male or female.

However, please do not stray away from information that is given!

The "Age estimation" is for characters without a specific birthday. "Around the same as" means that they're less than a year apart -- if they went to school together they would be in the same grade. "A little younger/older" means they're probably 2 - 5 years apart.

Stories

Hillslope Mysteries

Canon

Sparky investigates the murder of Amulet and the assault on Starry. She digs up more than she was supposed to.

Relationships

Tephra (boss)

Jerboa gets ordered around by Tephra, mainly because Tephra promised to help him find his parents.

He did help in the end, though, by introducing Jerboa to Frosting, who showed him the Project Boomerang files. But that was ages later. Tephra's just a mean boss and Jerboa's his doormat.

Jaculus (older sister)

Jerboa faintly remembers playing dolls with Jaculus. She is also in the family photo he doesn't remember taking.

Koala (mother)

Jerboa doesn't have memories of his mom. His only proof of her existence is a family photo he doesn't remember taking.

Kangaroo (father)

Jerboa doesn't have memories of his dad. His only proof of his existence is a family photo he doesn't remember taking.

Frosting (acquaintance)

Frosting and Jerboa met through Tephra because of his promise to help Jerboa find his family.

Frosting risked her job letting Jerboa look through the archives, partly because she was bored as snabbergatt and partly because she thought that by having Jerboa find out the truth, she was giving her dear friend Jaculus a proper closure too.

Drawing Permissions Click for more

(Nearly identical to my Artfight permissions anyways.)

The marks on the girls' faces are eyelashes, not face paint! In my art style girls have eyelashes and boys don't (cartoon logic) but feel free to do whatever you like to do in your style! (Including drawing it as face paint; just tell me so I know you didn't mistake the eyelashes for face paint.)
None of my characters have real-world skin colors! Their races are just whether they have ears or horns on their heads, so everyone's skin color is the same.
You can draw whatever color you want as long as:
- It's not that weird like literal green alien skin or something.
- Basically, draw human-colors or black (literally) / white (literally) / gray.
- Make sure all of them are the same if you draw more than one of my character together.
- (My default is Asian though for your reference.)
The same applies to hair color. Default black, make sure all of them have the same color.
Please color pick their accents (hex values above).
The highlights on their hair are parts of the design, and are optional.
Go wild:
- Basically anything not mentioned in Don't. This involves:
  - Gore (any type).
  - Draw them interacting with each other (mine, yours, or anyone else's).
  - Change anything about them (outfit, gender, species, whatever) (just make sure I can still tell who it is).
- Go wild!
Don't:
- NSFW, 18+, whatever.
  - This involves artistic nudity.
  - Or anything that sexualizes them.
  - And shipping (except Sparky and Nightsun (not even Amber and Peacock)) (friendly interaction is, of course, allowed).
- Hateful stuff, duh.
