Bubbles Rossiter
 
Bubbles Rossiter was a lonely goldfish. His spent his entire life in a small bowl, and everyday he would wish for companionship - a friend, someone who he could converse with over dinner. He'd fallen in love once; for a while his owner had left a "Fish Weekly" magazine on the table beside his bowl, and on the cover was the most beautiful black moor he'd ever seen. Bubbles fell in love at first sight. He dreamed of his owner buying her and putting her into his tank, his home, and he saw himself sharing his food with her and swimming together in unending, blissful circles. But then one morning she was gone. Yet he remembers, and he loves.

Bubbles now spends his time hovering in one corner of his bowl, the corner where she used to be.


His blissfully unaware owner is called Mr. Harbringer
 
Mr Harbringer

Is the surgeon who did the "work" on Joanna Selkirk. He is very proud of the job he did, no one would ever know Joanna once used to be Joe Selkirk.

Mr Harbringer has always loved goldfish and Bubbles reminds him of a sweet girl he once knew in medical school. The girl he should have proposed to instead of

Felicity Barrington Forsythe
 
Felicity Barrington Forsythe

Also called Fel Bar Scythe because she once ran a bar in a small English village where nothing happened that wasn't either pure evil or just plain strange. It has been speculated that Fel, after cutting grass in a field adjoining her public house, then took her scythe to The China Gardens, where there was a tranquil little the carp pond, and mercilessly ....

I can't bring myself to describe the carnage, the horrific wanton destruction that was visited upon those innocent cyprinidae that glorious summer's day. Suffice it to say, then, that if Mr. Harbringer ever found out about it, he might find it necessary to enlist the services of ...

Nemesis O Brien

(I wept, Leisha - thanks a bunch!)
 
Nemesis O Brien had the unforunate disadvantage of having clueless parents, who liked the sound of the word without knowing its meaning. Nevertheless, he made the name his own. Throughout school he made a name for himself as the schoolyard bully, Nemesis to nerds and geeks everywhere. At thirty-seven, Nemesis can still be found bullying, in his role as assistant manager of the local Macdonalds.

Therin Thunderfoot
 
Therin Thunderfoot

Part Native American, part continental Indian, a massive cricket fan and lover of all things aquatic. (Can you see where I'm going with this? No? Then I'll continue ...)

Press interest in Mr Thunderfoot's life and works was attracted by his rescue and rehabilitation of a little black moor that had been swallowed whole by a great white (fresh-water) shark, which in turn had been snagged in nets off Hong Kong by a fishing boat which had been accidentally sunk by an American gunboat out practicing and whose wreckage washed ashore on the secret island for trained assassins where Nemesis O Brien often hung out between assassinations.

Indeed it was Mr O Brien who actually rescued the little fish from the gullet of the great white which, snagged and trapped by the nets, had been unable to escape back to its natural habitat.

Therin, on a quest for the ideal practice nets for his cricketing chums, had heard of the wrecking of the fishing boat and programmed data into his GPS to locate it. But since when did a GPS ever get anything right? Well, at least once, if this story is ever going to end. For, 'tis a known truth, that Therin found the secret island and discovered the complete uselessness of a fishing net as a practice net. He did, however, offer some advice to Nemesis as to what he should do with his rescued black moor, but Nemesis declined.
"You must say you rescued it, Terin," Nemesis insisted. "The fame and fortune are useless to me."

So it was that on the cover of that week's Fish Weekly, the picture of Roger (the black Moor, you see) appeared.

Several days now pass and Nemesis is beginning to miss his fishy pal. "I rescued him from oblivion," he thinks to himself, "how can I abandon him to be feted around the world and showered with praise for surviving the intestinal mechanics of a (freshwater) Great White? I must," he decides, "bring him home again."

It is around now that (wheew, I'm getting there, I promise) It is around now that Nemesis received a call from a nervous little man named Harbringer.

"My wife," he said, "my dispicable, murderous wife ... I must have your services to help me dispose of her."

Dr Harbringer had overheard his wife, loquatious when drunk, bragging of her Slaughter of the Innocent Carp, with members of her sewing circle. On hearing this, the doctor began to fear for the survival of his own goldfish, Bubbles Rossiter. (You must see where this is going by now!)

"Okay," said Nemesis, "let me just pick up my black moor first."

Nemesis, Dr Harbinger and Roger, the black moor (lovin' that joke) flew back together, two holding thoughts of murder in their minds, the third holding the last five seconds "Ohh, nice. I wonder what's over here. Ohh, nice. I wonder what's over here ..."

Okay, I can have the plane crash now and the story will be over OR Nemesis can do away with Dr Harbringer's horrid wife and, seeing how Bubbles is pining for a bowl mate, donates Roger saying, "My life is no life for a black moor" and shedding a tear or two.

Bubbles is over the moon and wraps her flippers around Roger's neck thanking all the fish Gods for rewarding her faithfulness, and Roger kisses her saying, "Ohh, nice. I wonder what's over here ..."

Men!

Mandy Flymo
 
Mandy Flymo

This was Mandy's first day on the job, those months of training about to be put into action.
Mandy walked up the centre of the plane passing Nemesis, Dr Harbinger and Roger, she stopped short at the sight of the handsome black moor in is fish bowl.
"I'm sorry sir but fish really should be in the cargo hold, now there's not much we can do about it now, seeing as the plane is in the air, but.... I will have to take your fish and secure him in the crews quarters"

Nemesis somewhat reluctantly handed Roger over to Mandy, leaving poor Roger to a new and unknown future with.........................

Lyle Kensington
 
Lyle Kensington

A freebooter and buccaneer for the twenty-first century, Lyle can at once appear sweet and low. Behind his disarmingly charming smile can hide the most devious of plots to overthrow governments/dethrone a software marketing magnate (oh, if only)/empower the poor and dispossessed.

He is as quick to fall in love as out of it, but never fails to remember with fondness and respect those with whom he has been especially involved. Such as Mandy Flymo, whose impoverished background provided Lyle with one of his most honourable capers, and ...

Little Lil Jill van Hill from Rill
 
Little Lil Jill Van Hill from Rill

Jill Van Hill hated her name, teased constantly at school, because she was rather short, other children taunted her in the school ground

"Little Jill Van Hill from Rill."

Now for most of us this all seems quite innocent but in a young children it scarred Jill for life. She never really grew tall and hated being referred to as Little Jill which is why she could never love Lyle Kensington, because he always called her his Little Jill.

She grew up a serious, sad person, always buying rather tall shoes to make up for her short stature. She never dated tall men, they made her look smaller. Jill doubted she would ever find love or happiness even when she meet

Daniel Knight
 
Daniel Knight had never let his height affect his life. As far as he was aware he was the only midget ninja in the world and his diminutive stature proved an asset rather than a hindrance. The only problem was that he didn't like killing people and constantly sought for a way out of the career he'd chosen. He was considering becoming a basketball player.

Sven Olaf
 
Sven Olaf is usually known as Steven Oldham, an enthusiastic Norse recreationist. An unnassuming tax accountant by day, 'Sven' dons the fur and iron every weekend, taking to the waters off his local beach in a longboat with eleven other hairy, smelly and respectfully professional or semi-professional vikings. But when a storm kicks up, a maelstrom of unearthly fury that sweeps them across the waters to a strange and distant land, an adventure begins that Steven could only dream of...

Johnny Hold 'Em
 
Johnny Hold 'Em

A minor swindler in a small western town, Johnny Hold 'Em earns a meagre living by cheating people far gone in drink at cards. He dreams of being famous - in fact he has several different dreams of grandeur every night - but in reality he never comes close. All he can do is continue to cheat people at cards, but he seems satisfied with his life.

Tethys Enceladus
 
Tethys Enceladus is an ambitious mid-tier merchant in the Bas'Karan city of Tel An'ais. Straddling the mouth of the Karnis River, Tel An'ais is the bustling hub at the centre of one of the greatest kingdoms of the East, and there is no better place for a desperate social climber like Enceladus. Born the son of an impoverished dyer, Enceladus used his quick wits and canny business acumen to drag himself out of the poor districts. He has bought and sold it all - grain, wool, wood, iron - and always made a profit. But his last transaction - the one he was sure would finally make his name in the city - has turned bad. Three shiploads of precious alynine have gone missing en route from Thendalas, and his backers, the notorious and undeniably shady Sylmyn brothers, are breathing down his neck...

This One Is Of Light
 
This One Is Of Light

He took the name when he took up the battle against the Shadow. In a world where darkness spills across the daytime and encroaches where it should not, forced upon the world by those who cannot exist in the light, he fights to take back the daytime from them. Unfortunately, the methods of those who dwell in the dark are becoming more and more underhanded, and This One Is Of Light must discover their weakness before the light disappears completely.

Ysabelle Cerise
 
Good one, Tal.

Tedrebhad - known as the Floating City to most - is home to many apothecaries, but none so skilled as Ysabel Cerise. A veritable wizard with her powders, poisons and potions, Ysabel can craft almost anything asked for, from sleeping draghts to truth seums to silent and secret killers. Though she doesn't readily advertise it, Ysabel has even perfected a pill that keeps death at bay - she is, after all, approaching her two hundredth summer.

Armand Berents
 
Armand Berents

Armand is regarded by the people of his village as strange. Harmless enough, but strange, because he hears voices. When he was a child, everyone thought he had a collection of imaginary friends, but when he grew up he kept on talking to these unseen voices, much to the consternation of the other villagers. Especially when he was overheard talking to one of his 'friends', calling them by a name that was well known as being long dead, and knowing facts that he could not possibly know...

Columbina Dove
 
Columbina Dove
The first female general of the Orisan army. Columbina is renowned for her exquisite skill with the lance, being not only the figurehead of the Orisan army, but also highly respected across neighbouring nations. Being respected by those of higher political rank than her, and admired by those under her, it is most uncommon that Columbina managed to gain such a rank, going against all Orisan prejudice. Columbina came to notice in the battle of Tinara, when the Orisan heavy cavalry (containing Columbina) was sent to help defend the city-state Tinara from invading forces. Columbina managed to hold the main gates of the city from major onslaught, as well as keeping fly the Orisan standard, even after her fellow soldiers were decimated. The only well known scar suffered by Columbina is the curving welt from the base of her ear to the corner of her lips. The last name “dove” was not given to her on birth, rather it was received through battle, when Columbina was seen riding the charge with her white cloak licking at the clouds, quite similar to the wings of a dove.
Shon Jragun

P.S sorry for the rubbish I made you read, hopefully i will get better as I use this forum more.
 
Actually, Pilgrimmage, that's quite good.:)

Shon Jragun

Shon had it all. Money, influence, power, but he was never satisfied with any of it. He inherited the family business when he was only twelve and with his brains he took the company global within four years, and fast became used to getting his own way. Soon, he became the man that every woman wanted and every man wanted to be, but it wasn't enough. He craved power. At the launch of his company's latest product, Shon realized that there was a quicker way to get what he craved, and he knew just how to get it. With so much money, he could buy just about anything.
