This week I asked people on Twitter and on Facebook if they would enjoy a contest where they could name an Elder Races character for one of my stories. So many of you responded with such enthusiasm, I have constructed a Create a Character Contest, which will run from now until 12 noon MDT April 30th.
To enter the contest, comment here on my blog and in ONE paragraph give me four things:
1. Give me a name
2. Tell me which Elder Race this character is, or if he/she is human.
3. Give me an age for the character.
4. Tell me whether this is a male or a female.
~~~
After that, I’ll take it from there! I’ll pick a winner, to be announced at 12 noon MDT on April 30th. I’ll take the details from the winner’s entry and create a secondary character that might be a good guy but could be a bad guy.
That character will appear in novella #4, HUNTING SEASON, which is the last of my planned Elder Races short stories and will end the story arc from TRUE COLORS (#1), NATURAL EVIL (#2), and DEVIL’S GATE (#3).
Can’t wait to see the comments. Let’s have fun!
Smiles,
Thea

Isto’barra

* Yes I am shamefully trying to get a drow!
Isto’barra – her name literally means “Night shadow”. Can be sadistic, snarky, sarcastic demeanor. She knows how to wield pain and yet deliever pleasure.
On her sensual lips she has a permanent wry smirk on her lips.

Thanks Sheri for the idea of a male who is a water elemental. This could be very interesting!
Lasreth Ruvain

A few thousands years– she doesn’t bother to count.

The Character is a large male Saber tooth Cat. His name is Sammy Felidae (Felidae is the Family name of the saber tooth cat). Smilodon is the most common and popular genus of Saber tooth cat – hence why I chose Sammy as a first name. The Saber tooth cat is about 2.5 million years old, so I put Sammy at over 1000 years old. I chose this species as a Wyr because he is fast, sleek, agile, sexy, and he has terrifyingly impressive canine teeth.
ooh, sabre tooth has lots of delicious possibilities 🙂
I would name a character Alia Sinclair. She would be some form of large cat shifter. She would be a much younger Wyr to help define differences in beliefs/behaviors between the old school original Wyr formed in the birth of the world and those that are born in more modern times.

Dexter.
Human.
23l
Male.
The name Dexter never shows up anywhere. I so adore this name.
That was supposed to be 23. Obviously a human is not going to be 231…
Ihsaan
Djinn
539
Male
The name just came to mind, though I was torn about whether it ought to be a djinn or a falcon shifter. Just something suitably Middle Eastern :p
The Character is named Diamanta the name is French from Latin meaning adamant, like a diamond. Diamanta is called Dia for short and is a female that’s over 700 years old, but only looks to be in her early 30’s. Dia is very voluptuous and has piercing yellow-green eyes. She is a Wyr that shifts into a Tarasque dragon. Diamanta in her shifter form of the french mythical Tarasque dragon has skin that sparkles like diamonds,her eyes stay the same piercing yellow-green in both of her forms, broad strong wings that have an angelic appearance,the claws of a bear and a lethal stinger on her tail. Dia’s total package is beautiful but lethal.
The character I have envisioned is a water creature that ails from the Emerald Isle. Maybe some kind of selkie or Merman. He is a brawny man with auburn hair and his name is Connor. Of course, he would have a beautiful accent and gorgeous green eyes. He would have to be old enough to have experienced some hardships in life, so about 400-500 years old. I think matching him up with a human female with a fiery temper would be perfect..:)
Sorry…hails from the Emerald Isle..:)
Her name is Te Mara and she is a Siberian Tiger shifter. I see her as being very sexy but not knowing it. She’s so young (under 100 yrs old) and innocent but she moves like a cat even in her human form and is VERY feminine.
Oooo I like your idea Viki. I think she would be quite tall since Siberian’s are such large cats.
Yes, Sandy. She has long lean, toned, muscular legs. She also has a killer smile ;).
Nightsky is a rare stunning beautiful full black pather and human mix with skyblue eyes, long black hair and the skin tone of a native american princess know mamory other then her name she doesn’t know her age or where she comes from . she looks to be about 27-28 and can readinf in to your soul and mind and she sinces her mate is close but where is he? who could he be? will her tracking skills help her find him?
read in to you soul sorry lol
1) Eleva Enn
2)half human, half unknown
3)female
4) 18 yrs old
*she has no memories of her own past, but somehow knows everyone else’s just by looking at them. She is constantly searching for who and what she is.*
Surra
Female Feline Shifter
Age : Less than 40 so the character can reference one or both of their parents’ love of the great Andre Norton who who was one of the great pioneers of fantasy and science fiction. I loved that smart and snarky sidekick she created and a tribute reference done by someone as talented as you would be welcome.
Maura is a 124 year old Fae with striking blue eyes and a lovely smile. She’s extremely curious – loves asking questions and making people laugh.
My character’s name would be Haven. She is human with special gifts, empathy and healing.She’s been isolated most of her 20 years due the overload of emotion she picks up from others. Maybe she needs a strong, alpha Wyr male/mate who will complete her and help her hone her gifts. She would be a great assest.
I can see it now Sandy, the Wyr is question will have the ability to siphon off and deflect some of the emotions for her. I like that :).
