Let's start with the question of who's a natural morpher. I don't really want to make Jamie too extra-snowflake-special, but I will admit, it does make sense.
Just a note: Despite the Animorphs being against taking sapient morphs, Jamie probably wouldn't care.
Hey! Read my fanfic: HereDo you think I should give Sirit a cold calculating personality (at first anyway) or to fit in the role of The Big Guy more give her a more "Attack first ask questions later" personality?
In our heart, Mr. Ando will always be a penguin.I'd say Cold Calculating works best. From what I can see, Sirit is something of a Genius Bruiser. Also keep in mind that the descriptions for the roles in a Five-Man Band are merely approximations and guidelines, not hard and fast rules, so just because your character is The Big Guy, does not mean she has to be a STEREOTYPICAL Big Guy. Play the character how you want to.
^^ I think that Sirit should be however she is in your head. If she was created one way or the other, go that way. Distinctions can be made after-the-fact.
Hey! Read my fanfic: HereWell, I didn't change the font size to '72 and extend the cheer throughout ten posts now, did I?
Then again for me that would be being subtle.
That actually reminds me of a scene I have planned for my Harry Potter fan fic.
—>Dumbledore: Welcome! Welcome! To another year at Hogwarts!
—>Sabyn(OC): AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
—>(everyone turns to stare at him)
—>Sabyn: Sorry, my soup was hot.
—>Dumbledore: I see.....

Not to mention that there are 8 different but overlapping 'stereotypical' Big Guys.
I was thinking this morning that I would drop Annie's age by a year - making her 11 and starting 6th grade, partly to make the Annie/Alex connection a little closer but also to give her a little more Age-Appropriate Angst for leaving her friend behind.
Which reminded me to ask roughly when in the year we were thinking - has the school year started and about how close are we?
Also, if I can get a program working right, I might have something special for the game... (And now that I announced it, I won't be able to figure it out)

I'll just say that I LOVE SIRIT SO FAR. I understand the internet problems, and eagerly await the finished project. When she's finished and officially approved, I'll start the RP. ^_^
Hey! Read my fanfic: HereOkay, The Demented Retard here with a few things to add
i am currently using the Face Your Manga website to create images for our characters, I should be done by tomorrow, but I have a few questions. Mainly, what colour shirts would your characters prefer, currently I have
Jamie= red
Ryan= blue
Liz= orange
And I'm thinking of making Sirit's shirt green, also who prefers long sleeve shirts, and who prefers T-shirts?
Finally, @ Passer and Pyro,
Just out of a passing curiosity (pun not intended) are either of you girls in Real Life?
Actually, Ryan doesn't have any preferations when it comes to shirts; he just grabs whatever was at the top of the stack/pile in his closet. As for buying clothes; as long as it fits, looks somewhat nice and isn't stupidly expensive, he'll take it, brand be damned.
Stuff happens. Post it here so we can laugh at you >=DYES!!!!!
Also, something that might be of use to you, I remember writing to Inverarity ( In my opinion THE Harry potter fan fiction author) for advice on portraying female characters, since he writes some excellent female OC's and the advice he gave me was:
—>"If you start from the assumption that men and women are not fundamentally that different, it should be a matter of depicting the individual character you are writing, rather than trying to make him or her a convincing man/woman. It's when authors have a set of "male" or "female" behaviors they think are normal and expected of men and women that they tend to go wrong — either they think they need to add some to the character, or in an effort to avoid writing a caricature, they go overboard in the other direction by not having them display any such behaviors."
—>"For example, Alexandra does not giggle, and she does not cry a lot. Giggling and crying easily are often considered typical "girl" behavior, but I don't have her usually being stoic because she's "unfeminine," but because that's just her way — she doesn't like to show softness. She does, however, have a sense of humor, an occasional silly side, and she does cry sometimes. If I tried to show her always being serious and never crying no matter what, she'd be too unemotional and too unlike a teenager."
Hopefully that'll be helpful to you

Thanks. I had originally thought of Sirit as a gender neutral character, so that should help. I like the name Paramorphs, and there is just one question I want to ask. When should Siri enter the story? If I remember correctly, Ax came in at around book 6, so should we do a similar time or have Siri enter at a different time?

In our heart, Mr. Ando will always be a penguin.Yeah, I looked at your profile, noticed that Sirit and Alex both have very similar strategic outlooks, (perhaps he should introduce her to Warhammer at some point)
So unless theirs anything else, can we PLEASE get this show on the road?
Also, Alex has a part time job working mondays and thursdays at a fern nursery
"After gaining a human morph, all of Sirit's steely composure flows away as she discovers the wonder of taste. She will try new food at whatever possibility and will act like a three year old human at the mention of sweets"
... -Suddenly gets the urge to play "Fetch the candy" with Sirit XD-
