Stolen from ... Because it looks interesting, and I feel like sharing histories of my characters.... :<

Write out the names of your characters and explain:
1) how you thought of their name
2) what made you create the character in the first place
3) how the character has changed over time (if they have changed)
4) any random fun fact about that character

Otokoyo Isotz
1- Oto got her name from a little animated film called "Kakurenbo".... ^{Which originally was going to be her name until I decided otherwise....} Basically, it's about a game of hide-and-seek in which children are captured and used as batteries to power this old abandoned town run by five Japanese Demons. And the name of this game is called "Otokoyo", heheh... X3 As far as the last part, "isotz" is Basque for "ice", and is the name of my dear blue Betta fish. :3
2- I loved the names Otokoyo and Kakurenbo, and wanted something to go along with them. At the time I had only March`i created, and wanted a friend for him. So I created the "blue ox-girl". And then her name became Otokoyo, just because is fit. So originally.... Yeah, she was a friend for March`i. XD
3- Hmmmm..... Oto hasn't really changed, other then becoming a genderless Oni God that rules over the winter snows. She's still somewhat introverted, but everything she does is never considered "weird" by her band mates..
4- She runs a high-quality costume store called Identity Crisis. The best part about it is everyone else just thinks she's a bum who wanders off to sleep all day, because she always wears a full-body costume when she works the store.

March`i
1- It's basically a very odd spelling of the word "marshy", since March`i is part unicorn and part kelpie. Kelpies live in lakes and unicorns live in forests, so a marsh seems like the best in-between for March`i. However, his name is pronounced like "marshy", it's pronounced mar-KEY.
2- I wanted something new, and so one day at one of mom's special horseshows, I decided to create a cross of one of the most vile equines with one of the most pure equines. And so came along March`i. I liked him so much that I kept him, despite my un-love of equines, because he was just so odd a character for me to have..
3- March`i hasn't really changed. I thought he would, but nope, he's not... He doesn't wear shirts too often now, though. He used to stay with mesh shirts, but now he just doesn't care to bother with them at all. He's also becoming more laid-back and less of a spazz, which is good considering that Mike and Comic are plenty enough of spazzes...
4- He's actually somewhat bisexual. It's funny, really, because one day he'll hit on Mike, the next on some random chic, and then he might go after his best pal Oto... He's probably just high. :<

Mike
1- There was this dude who's name I thought was "Mike" at a Hot Topic I know of. Never decided to change his name, despite having three friends all named Michael.
2- The dude at Hot Topic. He always had dirty-blonde hair with multi-coloured spikes, and I decided to make a fursona of the dude. And now that fursona has developed into a permanent character. :3
3- No. He's too new to really change... But he does have a thing for Ras. D:
4- Some people think that he can't keep a job for the life of him, but he actually works part-time at several stores. Night-shift, of course.

Rikuto (formerly known as Gothes)
1- His previous name was, on Neopets, "Gothes_Will_Rule". And so he had been nicknamed "Gothes" (gO-thehs). However, needing a new, more "real" name, I decided on "Rikuto", "riku" meaning "land", and "to" referring to the constellation Ursa Major or alternately meaning "person". Since bears resemble people when standing on their hind legs, and Ursa Major is the big bear (or dipper, for those who don't know the bear side of the stories), it seems appropriate.
2- I don't really know /why/ I came up with Gothes.... I just did. He was a Red Bori on Neo, and I decided to turn him into a huffy old hermit who, clich'e-ically deep down, cared for those who cared back. But now he is a pangodillanu-wolf hybrid who lives in the Pango Mountain Range, making sure the wolves do not over-hunt the pangodillanu.
3- Well... If you read above, that should be explanation enough to just how much he has changed. But, he has changed physically (though not in a way that really needs a back-story, since I don't want my poor Neo-gone-Swamp City characters to have to have that world in their pasts...). He is no some giant hornless bear-like pagodillanu. I say bear-like because if you crossed a pangolin with a wolf, you'd probably end up with the near-exact same thing. :<
4- His Anthro form is seriously fucked up whenever he tries to change from God to Anthro. Yeah. Huge pangolin scales just don't translate well into a more maneuverable form..... >->;;

That's all for now. :3
