Human AU; There are people in hiding everywhere. Only the night is safe. Mysterious creatures dubbed 'Phantoms' attack during the day, leaving nothing behind but the absence of another. Skipper and his are hiding out under the Penguins' exhibit in the Central PArk Zoo - where all the animals are gone. Julian, the supposed descendent of a King, resides there with his two servants. One night, Skipper bumps into a new resident while scavenging for food, called Marlene Sotter ((Saughter)). The two become friends (grudgingly on Skipper's side) and become closer as these hidees search for a way to not just stay alive, but live.
So? So?! Random idea that hit me. Will NOT be writing anytime soon; already got 3 stories, sorry. (Character descriptions below). Julian throws parties during the day, which the sound does attract the 'baddies' but also makes a sort of forcefield that keeps them away. No one ever actually sees the 'Phantoms' (no, they are not ghosts; they will be actual creatures.) Daytime sky is constantly gray 'overcast' ever since the 'incident' that shapes their world.
Will be SkipperXMarlene (Skilene), mentioned KowalskiXEva (Snowy owl from the movie), and Skipper will have a father-son relationship with Private.
Skipper: A man in his later twenties with black, somewhat messy hair (which he tends to gel/slick back) and deep sapphire eyes. Was an orphan (young boy) and met Kowalski and Rico, teamed up with them, and met/took in toddler to where a suit.
Kowalski: Scientist and technically second in command; Tall genius with short black hair and pale blue eyes. Later twenties, wears a labcoat over black clothing.
Rico: Maniac with unruly hair (some in the middle sticking up more so), Dark blue eyes, and a scar running over the outer left edge of his mouth, trailing down from right under his left eye. Has weird ability to swallow/regurgitate items, which MArlene will chalk up to being like a sword swallower. Black graphic tee with dynamite on it and black jeans.
Private: Teen who could be fifteen or sixteen with black, slightly messy hair, baby blue eyes, and innocence of all the world. British, unknowingly (by anyone) trained to be the next leader after Skipper or in an emergency. White shirt, gray pullover sweater/hoodie and black pants/jeans.
Marlene Sotter: Mid-twenties female with rich brown hair (shoulder length that can be pulled into a ponytail) and brown eyes. Wears a brown button/dress shirt over a white tank top and older faded jeans.
("Marlene Sotter." "Saughter?" "Spelt 'S' and 'otter'; I was called Otter all throughout high school for that.""And you're living in the otter habitat…?""Shuttup.")
King Julian (the Thirteenth): Lanky late twenty year old man living in the lemur habitat; gray hair that may or mayn't be dyed and bright yellow eyes. Partier. Skipper calls him Ringtail on account of his residence; same reason he calls them Penguins.
Maurice: Shorter dude, a little paunchy. Same age as Julian, with dark hair and yellow-amber eyes. Much more serious and almost a caretaker of sorts.
Mort: Twelve year old boy obsessed with Julian and his feet (Strangely enough… ). Lighter gold-brown hair and honey colored wide eyes. Nicknamed "Sad eyes".
That's all I got for now! R and R; Thanks for reading!
