Hey, it's a new Incubator thread! I'd be surprised if I ever tried putting more than one character in here, but hey! Whatever, let's get on with it!
Meet Lyra! Lyra Dobbins. 20 years old. Star Sign Leo. Not quite professional hammer swinger.
Lyra is a little pink firecracker of a lady, but she's a rather silent one: she's completely mute. It's a rather long story that involves a terrible spiteful ex-boyfriend, but we don't have to get into that right yet. In any case, her muteness doesn't mean that she can't get a point across. Lyra doesn't hide emotions well, and it's pretty easy to tell who or what she's thinking about if you have enough context. And if you can't tell, she'll probably spell it out for you! She's upfront and honest about her feelings, and really doesn't ever try to keep them a secret.
Because of this blunt honesty, it's easy to say that Lyra looks a lot cuter and gentler than she actually is. That isn't to say she's outright mean or a bully, but she certainly isn't a pushover or someone to dismiss as weak. Her giant hammer
* is a perfect match for her: cutesy and bubbly looking... but still packs a powerful punch when it needs to be dealt. This might cause people to experience some whiplash with her, but she doesn't seem to care enough to change. In any case, she actually is pretty friendly when you get used to her approach!
She's come to Void City following a tip about that aforementioned ex... the entire situation being a pretty sore subject to her. The short of it is, though, that he has something of hers and she has something of his. She wants a fair trade, but we'll see how well that goes!
I guess I'd have to add him in here before anything even happens with that, so yeah! The guy doesn't make himself easy to find, though, so Lyra spends a lot of her Void days taking odd jobs for food-slash-rent money... and maybe taking a couple odd
er jobs for shots at more info. Her morality isn't at stake though, she doesn't mess with bloody business... That might change, though! Seriously, who knows with Void City?
I'm sorry if any of this post seems janky! I'm pretty nervous about coming in here, but I'm really super excited and would happily flesh out anything anyone is curious about (I didn't want to slap a giant wall of text on my first go... hahaha...). I'm working on her intro comic now, so hopefully I'll have some rough layouts posted soon!
* Actually a note about that hammer... This needs to be re-written on the sheet, but it doesn't really weigh anything to her. It's a Mjolnir kind of scenario... But being worthy has nothing to do with it. If anyone besides Lyra (or... any other human, specifically) tries to lift the hammer, they're in for a super tough time because it weighs around 450lbs. I just didn't want anyone to wonder why such a tiny girl has no problem lifting a mega-hammer... Sorry for any confusion!
