Trying To Nail Down Echo's Characteristics In My Writing So I Keep Him Consistent.

Trying to nail down Echo's characteristics in my writing so I keep him consistent.

Echo Character Traits

● Likes to be around others and is excited to meet new friends

● But after being alone for so long, he sometimes is quickly burnt out socially.  He also values his alone time

● Tries too hard sometimes to be likable.  He doesn't want his new friends to leave him

● Curious but definitely very cautious

● Is often confused.  But who can blame him honestly?  Ninjago City is a wacky place.  Much different from the lighthouse.

● Likes to read books and share facts with his friends

● Doesn't understand a lot of common phrases.  Not necessarily because he's an android, but because he was removed from society most of his life.

● Likes Pistachio ice cream. (Because I said so!) 

● He WILL tell you random bug facts.  There is no stopping him.

● Dislikes violence, but you mess with any of his friends, you better square up!

● He did a lot of cleaning in the lighthouse, so it kind of bugs him when people (Cole, Jay, and Kai) leave stuff lying around the monastery.

● He's not very confrontational, but if you do tick him off, expect to find a very loquaciously written note on your pillow when you go to bed.  He finds he can articulate what he's feeling better in writing than in speaking sometimes.

● He's pretty content, though, so he doesn't get mad too often.

● He kept a journal in the lighthouse to pass the time.  Mostly, it's just entries about the weather, what kind of birds he saw that day, and speculating about when the seagull eggs in the rafters were going to hatch.

● He is 2 years younger than Zane.

● He sometimes grapples with his feelings of being a replacement for Zane, and Zane, on the opposite side, grapples with the thought of being replaceable.

● In the beginning, they both hesitate to share their feelings with each other, but eventually open up and have a few good teary eyed, brother therapy sessions.

Most of this won't be super relevant in the actual story, but I thought it was important to get his characterization figured out.

But this is just how I see him. I would love to hear your thoughts!

Watching some Doctor Who compilations, and realized that the Doctor's companions are always human. Even with all the planets he's visited, he always picks a human. But then again, I haven't watched or read ALL of the vast amounts of Doctor Who media by any means, so I might be wrong. If anyone knows of the Doctor having an alien companion at any point, please let me know! I'd love to hear about it!

I think it'd be super awesome to have an alien companion in a future season, book, or even audio drama!

OH MY GOSH!!!

He's ssooooooo cute!!!!

(Offers him a sunflower seed)

I like vanillacakeshipping and all but I think we as a fandom should consider calling the Cole and Vania ship...

May the Forth Be with You!

I probably won't have time to draw anything special for the occasion...

Because I'm at my brother's graduation party! It's Star Wars themed, of course!

So here's a super sketchy white board Yoda inviting people to the graduation. Hope it suffices.

Happy May the Forth everybody!!!

That apple pie looks delicious! I'm sure Arin approves!

I can't put into words how much I LOVE this!!!

I definitely need to read this fic as well!

Also, Colenia Crusaders is an awesome name for us! I'm totally going to use that now.

Tumblr butchered the quality. Sorry.😭) This art piece was inspired by a fanfic written by my friend @only-lonely-stars! I'll link it below the cut! Enjoy!

(Gotta tag the Colenia Crusaders! Lol! @nocturnal-nexu @tiana4evahh @trashnotfound Hi Girls!😁👋)
