Alexander Side Character Profile

Alexander is unlike any other side character in Puppetmaster. He is a puppet with no special
power of any kind and with no companion. Alexander grew up with Liera and felt closer to her than
any other girl. Liera soon fell in love with him but never showed it to him, and he felt like she was
his younger sister. They hung out often and Liera’s bond to him grew stronger. He is the type of
person to solve problems naturally and make friends easily. Every girl he comes across, they fall
head over heels for him. He has once not encountered a girl that hasn’t. He isn’t the one to boast
though it would seem like it. Surprisingly, he hasn’t fell in love with a girl once though. He left his
town to join the crew because he wanted to have an adventure.
He is a little taller than the rest- except Sebastian- and a little muscular. He has dirty blonde
hair and brown eyes. His hair reaches his eyes and messy. He normally wears cargos that go to
his knees and a striped and collared white and light blue tee. He has a little pendant of Liera to
have a memory of his little ‘sister’.

Jamie and Syelina 9

Annik created a water light and held it in her palm, lighting the way. She avoided knotted roots and graves and searched for the door that Nai had told her about.

Mist was still trying to shove itself down her throat, but she was able to open up the door and get inside before she fainted again. Taking a deep breath of musty air, she took a few cautious steps into the dim hallways.

Bad memories were creeping into her head as Annik looked around at the familiar surroundings, but shook them off. “I’ve gotten this far, and I’m not letting my guard down again. It’ll be perfectly fine,” she reassured herself.

Position In The Organization

As you may have read, Kuro is the leader of the 37th section of the Organization. Although that may not seem like a high position, think of it this way:
There are hundreds of lesser sections out there, who have no real power except to capture Puppets and report back to the Head. All of these lesser heads are numbers greater than 50. Any number lower than 50 is considered as a "high position." Of course, this usually leads to conflict about who is worthy of having a high position and prejudice about how a certain group acts (the lower positions think of the higher positions as "snobby" and the higher positions think that those lower than them are "leeches" and a hindrance to the Organization). As well, the lower your number, the more land you have to control over. (Poor 50, stuck in the middle)
So yeah, Kuro's actually pretty well off, considering. I mean, he does give off a "delinquent" feel and is a rebel, but he's in the higher ranks of the Organization.

Jamie and Syelina 8

The plot thickens, tension builds, and Kuro is becoming even more ambitious! What will happen next?

“Hmmmm… I’m sure Syelina will come to her senses soon. She doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge how much power we have together…” Jamie stated to himself, pacing. “I’m sure she realized that since the beginning. But she’s extremely stubborn…”

He stopped walking. Some scuffling and banging could be heard down the hall, as well as a voice cursing. ‘That sounds like-‘

Before he could finish his thought, Syelina stamped towards him, extremely disheveled. She stopped a few paces away from him and pushed a strand of hair out of her face. She then gave him one of her infamous glares.

Annik's Dark Secret

I don't even know where this is supposed to fit in the story, but this is one of Annik's tragedy! (Sabby thought Puppetmaster was getting too "mushy" and should have more action and tragedy) Enjoy! (Or should I really be saying that about something sad?)

“Why did you do it?” she swung her legs back and forth, looking at the stone seven meters below her feet. “Why?” The branch holding her was rough under her fingers, the bark cutting into her hand.

“Annik. They were going to hurt me. How else was I supposed to react? I’m a person!”

“That’s the problem,” she retorted, bitterness staining the air between them. “You’re a human. And a liar.”

“A liar?” he asked, and Annik almost believed he was surprised at the accusation. He ran his hand through his mouse brown hair.

“I saw you. Talking to those people. You were prepared to give me over. You took the money they offered. You promised that I’d either ready to be handed over, or you’d kill me.” Tears started clouding over her vision.

“I’m sorry Annik. I don’t know what came over me at that moment…” She almost softened, but immediately hardened herself against him.

“Yeah right. I’ve also seen you meet them several times after that happened. Including when I had to wait for you to meet me here.”

Jamie and Syelina 7

“Crap. That was crazy,” Syelina muttered, walking into her small, stone cottage. Closing the door behind her, she walked towards her den. She flopped onto her chair, and started to think of what to do next. But for some reason, her thoughts kept on drifting back to Jamie. She stood up and walked around, petting her bats and fixing the gloomy upholstery. Yet whatever she did, she could only think about him.

“Damn it! Why can’t I stop thinking about him?!” she exclaimed, startling all her bats into flight. “We’re enemies, and I’m the one who said working together was a one time only thing. Why did I even think about joining up with him?” She kicked her desk and cursed. “Probably being stuck with that punk for too long. Ugh.”

“But what if you’re wrong?” asked a little voice in her head. “What if-“

“AH! No way…” she screamed, then realized how crazy she sounded, talking to no one real. ‘Pffft. I’m overreacting. But still…”

Jamie and Syelina 6

So so far, Jamie and Syelina were trapped in one cell together by Kuro, and they co-operated (gasp!) to escape. We've focused on the skeleton and the air mistress, but what about that seemingly stupid delinquent behind all this? Here it is, part 6, starring Kuro!

“Hmmmm…” pondered Kuro. “I can’t say I was surprised about this outcome.” He switched off the security camera in the cell, and walked back up the stairs slowly. “It’s quite funny how they never noticed this was part of my plan, considering how conniving and insightful they are. They should’ve been able to see right through this, especially Syelina,” he chuckled to himself. “This story has a very promising beginning.”

“They expect so low of me, and think that I’m just a hard-headed rebel. Won’t they be shocked later when this story comes to an end,” he snickered.

He sat back down at his desk, and checked all of the other security cameras placed around the castle. Unlike the other leaders, he didn’t rely on his servants and Puppets to take care of security around here. He always kept a careful eye on the screens, making sure nothing goes against his plan.

He saw a shadowy figure run across the top of the east wall, and he smiled. Syelina. As he watched her practically glide in the air, he remembered about the other one. He glanced at all the other cameras, but couldn’t find the other main character.

Jamie and Syelina 5

“That was fun,” remarked Syelina. “Remind me to use that trick the next time I get caught. I’m not saying I’m planning to get jailed again anytime soon though, so don’t get any ideas in that skull of yours.”

She stripped the unconscious guard of his weapons, and handed a baton to Jamie, while taking another for herself. “Ready?”

“Wait. Shush!” whispered Jamie, and they could hear the second guard coming down the hallway.

“Lucas? Are you ok? I heard some noise- ACK!” he exclaimed as Jamie and Syelina came at him with weapons raised. He was down for the count in seconds.

“Quick, find the keys!” hissed Jamie, and they both searched Julius’s uniform.

After a few minutes of searching and slowly panicking, they hit the jackpot. “Got it!” crowed Syelina in triumph, taking a ring of keys out of the guard’s pocket. “Now which one is it?”

“The small black one,” replied Jamie, and Syelina gave him a funny look. “What? I’m observant,” he explained, and was met with a shrug.

As they got up, vortex free, Jamie flexed his fingers, and smiled. “Ahhh… power again.”

“Remember. No more partnerships in the future,” reminded Syelina, her air currents flowing around her again.

“Don’t worry. I won’t forget,” retorted Jamie. “Now could you just get us out of here?”

Jamie and Syelina 4

“Guard!” echoed down the stonewalls of the dungeon. Lucas’s head shot up from his dreamless nap. Panicking a little, he thought it was the boss who had caught him not checking on the traitor and the woman, when he realized the voice was coming from one of the cells.

“Pffft,” he muttered under his breath. “No need to worry about him-“

“GUARD!!”

“Ok, ok I’m coming you idiot!” yelled an agitated Lucas, clearly annoyed. As he got to the cell, he saw the traitor standing at the entrance. “What is it?” Lucas growled.

“Oh, nothing, really. I just killed her and the stench is killing me, that’s all. Just bring me to another cell, would you?”

“What? Nothing?” asked Lucas, a little shocked after hearing the news. “I mean she was just brought in here yesterday…” He looked behind Jamie, but he could see nothing.

“I got bored,” grinned Jamie devilishly. “Now please hurry up.”

Lucas nodded slowly, and yelled over at the other guard down the hallway, “Julius, I’m taking him to another cell!”

“It’s cell number 12, right?” called down Julius. Lucas looked at the archway above the door, and found the number.

“Yep! I’ll take him to number 10, ok?”

“Just get on with it, ok?” muttered Jamie. “I can’t stay in here with a corpse forever while you do small chit-chat with your comrade.”

Lucas rolled his eyes as he opened the door. ‘This prisoner is an arrogant-‘ he thought, but that thought was cut off when he noticed the body wasn’t to be found. As he looked at Jamie realization dawning on him, Jamie smiled.

“Look up,” he pointed, and all Lucas saw before he blacked out was the woman mid-fall, right above his head.

Jamie and Syelina 3

“Move it,” growled the soldier, poking Syelina along. She shot him a venomous glare and kept walking. They came to a cell, which glowed a strange green and stopped right in front of it. Syelina’s eyes widened as she saw the green glow.

“Kuro, that bastard… the next time I lay my eyes on him I’ll slowly suffocate him until he dies in pain…” she muttered.

Two soldiers held her arms down and put on a few vortex bracelets, allowing her to move freely without any of her power. They took off the shackles and opened up the cell door.

“Have fun!” jeered the soldiers, and the door slowly locked behind her. She could hear the soldiers yell down the hall, “Hey! Lucas! Keep an eye on this one. She’s feisty.” All of the other soldiers laughed, and their footsteps and jeering faded.

Jamie and Syelina 2

Yay! More posted up... don't worry, there's plenty more where this is coming from (7 typed pages and counting)

Two slow, long weeks passed, and she was happy when the day came. She paced around waiting for the perfect time to approach Kuro with her plan and finish it off once and for all. At 2:00 p.m., she had had enough waiting and knocked on Kuro’s door.

“Come in,” drawled Kuro, and the doors creaked open. Syelina walked in, her head held in a dignified pose. Kuro just kicked his feet up onto his desk, watching her compose her face, though he could feel her anxiousness and excitement. He smiled wolfishly at the air mistress.

“So I hear that you have the King of the Dead in one of your cells,” she said, slightly rocking back and forth on her feet in nervous excitement. “Are you…planning to do anything to get rid of him? He might make trouble for you later…”

Kuro smiled. “You make it too obvious what you want,” he said dryly. Syelina’s face blanched and the calm composure left her. “But very well. One favour in turn for another. What do you have in return?”

It was Syelina’s turn to smile. She leaned in towards Kuro and whispered, “I know where that blue Puppet is.”

Jamie and Syelina

Finally! Here's a bit of the part I wrote about Jamie and Syelina... enjoy!

“Welcome to the Organization. You will be staying with Kuro, leader of the 37^th section,” said the keeper, the man who led newcomers through the rules. He was sitting across from Syelina, who tried to look interested in what the man was saying.

“That is, until you prove yourself worthy to become a leader or have a position likes mine. So rule number one, you must always report and obey the Head, and whatever you do, don’t make the other leaders upset. Once you have power, you may, but right now your position is in a delicate balance.”

Syelina nodded her head, bored. She stifled a yawn and pretended to be listening. The keeper, thankfully wasn’t paying attention if she was even listening or not, so she let her mind wander.

Finished! (Still need to post it up, though)

Yay!! I got Jamie's and Syelina's part done! (I ended up writing the whole thing, but I sent my ideas and progress to ketchupman so he could check it over. He's been busy, so don't blame him!) I can hopefully put it up soon, but I still want to look it over a couple more times for any mistakes. Now I can work more on Annik and Nai, as well as the other characters and get the story going!

Annik and Nai 1

   "Uhhhhh," moaned Annik, stirring. "Where the hell am I?"
   The last thing she remembered was being in the burning theatre, and passing out from the fumes. But she was in an old, abandoned building, in a wagon with a bunch of other captured Puppets. As she sat up, she noticed some of the others were awake too, but they were still weak from inhaling smoke. Then Annik saw something interesting.
   There was a Puppet sleeping on the ground, with flaming red hair and very punkish clothes on. As     Annik got up and inched towards her, she saw that the Puppet had no collar on. But then she stepped on a finicky board and made a loud creaking noise. The Puppet's eyes snapped open, and Annik stumbled back in surprise.
   One eye was amber orange and the other blood red.

Just An Update On What We're Working On

Hi, sorry for not posting anything up lately! Just so you guys know, I'm posting an update so you don't think we've died and left the story unfinished :D

So ketchupman and I are working on Syelina's and Jamie's part after they join the Organization... we have to work out the plot and write down what happens. I have Syelina's part done, and ketchupman just has to create Jamie's and then we have to write their reactions when they meet...

Sab is working on the drawings of your characters (check out the Writing Challenge(?) page if you don't know what I'm talking about) and helping out to create the plot. She's been busy creating nefarious characters and creating trouble for our 5 heroes...

Any comments, suggestions or ideas would help a lot, so feel free to critique and give us ideas!

Annik 7

Dust went up her nose and made her sneeze, while the darkness enveloped her in a heavy, velvety embrace. She seemed to hit a cold, gelatinous patch of air, which made Annik suspicious. All of a sudden, her limbs relaxed completely, and Drake had to literally drag her to their destination.

“Man, I wish they didn’t use this spell. It gets tiring dragging Puppet after Puppet after they get like this,” muttered Drake to himself.

Annik straightened up at the word, “spell,” but immediately fell limp again. Her mind was spinning; any thoughts or reason too muddled up to comprehend.

“Here’s the new one,” said Drake, talking to a man with oversized glasses and salt-and-pepper hair. He seemed kindly enough, but when he smiled, it was full of hunger and iniquity. Annik tried moving away, but couldn’t. A flash of panic went through her mind. It cleared her mind long enough to realize what they did with this spell.

‘Hmph. Foolproof way to make sure the Puppets behave,’ thought Annik, and she closed her eyes as the confusion settled back down in her mind.

She opened her eyes a few minutes later, her head pounding with the after-effects. She was on a stage of some sort, facing a set of heavy, red, velvet curtains. She shook her head slowly, and felt something strange. Looking to either side of her, she saw that her arms and legs were tied separately to see-through ropes that led above her head. Looking up, she could see the strange man with the glasses holding onto the ropes. He flashed her a crooked smile and his face disappeared.

In the background, there were voices whispering, “We still have about an hour before the show starts. Let’s get some drinks before we have to actually do some work.”

‘Crap, an hour?!’ thought Annik to herself. ‘I’m going to be stuck like this for an hour?!’

She could see that he had tied the ropes to the railing of the platform the man was standing on.

Annik tugged on the ropes desperately, but there was absolutely no give or stretch. “Damn, damn, damn, damn!!” she muttered to herself.

And then, to make matters worse, she smelled smoke. Looking around, she noticed tendrils of fire creeping up the velvet curtains in front of her. ‘Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!’ thought Annik to herself. She tugged even harder on the ropes but to no avail.

‘I’m doomed,’ thought Annik simply, and passed out from the fumes.
