Feedback Requested-Character 2


I added images for those who need them. :)

His name is Leo and hero name The Predator. His face has black "tear streaks" that start at the inside corners of his eyes and go down his face (similar to a cheetah's), black lips, chocolate brown eyes that turn golden at night, two rows of sharp lion's teeth. Leo's ears are small, pointed with tuffs of brown hair on the ends; the ends of his ears tend to droop. He has golden, yellowish tan colored skin (color of lion's or jaguar's fur), and the end of his tail is black. Big, hug muscles are prominent in his arms and legs; Leo's feet are padded with thick soles because he runs on all types of terrain. On top of his head is a thick, jaw-length brown mane with a few strands braided (by Venus of course). Lastly, Leo's everyday clothing consists of a sleeveless leather jacket and a pair of comfortable khaki shorts that have pockets.




Oh...and for the curious...he purrs and roars. :P hehe...

Feedback Requested-Character 1

This is the first of four characters that I would like to get some feedback. They are not long descriptions so they only take a few minutes to read.

Thanks. :)

Her name is Venus, hero name Vine, and nickname Mother Nature. She can control and grow plant life. Her skin has a faint but distinct green tint to it, eyes the color of tree bark, rustic red hair that resembles tangled vines, slender body, and bare footed with toes that look like tree roots. Venus wears a long, flowing, loose green dress with knee length, skin tight brown leggings. She barely speaks above a whisper, and she rarely smiles in the presence of others. Venus shares these qualities and her good nature (no pun intended) with her partner Leo-The Predator.

Beware of the Female Competitive Golfer


You see LPGAs on TV, and (if your lucky) you see us-lady golfers-in action. But actually playing with competitive golfers, especially women, can be very...tiring.

You must start out with the niceties. There is no way around that, and the first few holes usually are fill with pleasant conversation. But...beware, once you start pushing to be top in your group, they will bring on the heat. Some are just plain silent (that's not me...I'm just quiet) while others express their annoyance with you.

They cry (sometimes), yell (more likely at their parents...I've seen it a few times), stare at you (which is very creepy), ignore you (that's just plain rude), and several others that just question the lady's etiquette.

Another one to note is the tag-along Moms.

My mom is still learning the game, and she is polite and friendly to the other girls. But some of the other mothers, who watch their daughters play, can be and sometimes are very impolite when their daughters are losing to you, tied with you, or very close in scores. It's very scary and I was for sure I wasn't going to make it through regions without getting beat up. They stare at you hoping your next shot will go bad, and they tend to share some of the same rudeness that your competitors do.

I absolutely love playing golf, and I love the challenge against other girls. But I wish the other girls would take the drama (yes, the drama...there is always drama) out of golf because golf and drama mixed as well as...oil and water or cellphones and restroom faculties. Drama=nothing good. So to all golfers (men and women) leave the emotions at home; they cause you more trouble than they are worth!
