Basically I'm just posting this note to straighten a few things out. And to ask you for suggestions as to what you'd like to see the bit beasts and their bladers do. Random schtuff as follows:
Nicknames:
Nica: short for Unicolyon, used either by me (cuz I'm too lazy to type her name out every time) or by Amphilyon
Anzi: short for Dranzer, used by Driger & maybe by Kai and/or Rei in later chapters
Dizzi: short for Dizzara, but I think you already know this one
Sal: haven't used it yet, but you may see it in later chapters should I get tired of typing out Salamalyon's name out, just thought I'd throw it in there
The bit beasts:
Dizzi: cheerful, and a bit of the stereotype blonde ditz, but not -too- much, she tends to be attached to either Dranzer, Draciel, or Kenny's laptop, and is the best for when you want a clear explanation of something
Dranzer: gorgeous, but painfully shy, except when Dizzi and/or Driger is around, or when Dragoon makes her angry, then her fiery phoenix nature shines through
Driger: white hair, brown eyes, cheerful, caring personality and he has a tendency to do things that would surely get Dragoon (and probably most other people) barbecued
Draciel: tends to stick with either Dizzi or Dragoon, though he'll wander about on his own. also, he's somewhat developed Dizzi's knack for giving decent explanations
Dragoon: the resident trouble maker, usually seen either on his own or with Draciel, he is quick to poke fun, or make things more difficult then they have to be
Unicolyon: more outgoing and talkative than the other females, she is the only female on her team, and is not afraid to speak her mind or drag the boys back down to reality when she feels they need it
Amphilyon: might once have been something of the girl-chaser his master is, had he not found one interesting enough to settle him down. he is cheerful, easygoing and somewhat on the happy-go-lucky side of life
Salamalyon: here is the fiery temper people tend to expect of Dranzer, only in a somewhat, well, shorter form but one that likes Dragoon -even- less, strangely enough, he gets along rather well with the shy side of Dranzer
Griffolyon: often brought down by the fact that his three companions seem to forget that there is such a thing as common sense, he generally comes across as aloof and at times seems rather like Robert, though he's not above the occasional pointless argument
Trygle: relatively quiet and generally only mingles with the other females, particularly Galzzy
Galzzy: quiet and would rather listen than talk, a people watcher of sorts, tends to hang around with Trygle while waiting to divert fights between her companions
Galux: rather Mariah like in personality, but a little more laid back. she'll take control if given it, but gives it up readily to the older Unicolyon or to anyone she feels could handle it better than her
Galeon: tends to be the sulky and brooding one of the bunch, and ignores pretty much everyone when possible, his own three companions included, but they have no problem leaving him to himself
Galmon: tends to be left out and is often regarded as even more annoying than Dragoon
Whose on what terms (basically relationships w/ one another): this part may get rather long, but you don't need to read it. also it does reveal a few pairings for this fic, so if you don't wanna know, don't read it. and I'm only gonna go thru those that are on the same team, otherwise it would take waaaaaaaayyyyyyy too long.
Majestics
Salamalyon/Griffolyon: no, these two don't hate each other. they are actually rather close friends, they just get annoyed with one another easily, particularly Griffolyon
Salamalyon/Amphilyon: oddly enough, these two are a pair of tricksters when together, however Griffolyon and Unicolyon have a tendency to keep them separated for the most part
Unicolyon/Salamalyon: fiery temper aside, Salamalyon is -something- of a gentleman and he usually treats Unicolyon like a lady, so long as she acts the part
Griffolyon/Amphilyon: a pair falling just short of being a pessimist and an optimist. used to Salamalyon's temperamental ways, Griffolyon finds Amphilyon too cheerful from time to time, whereas Amphilyon thinks Griffolyon needs to loosen up some and enjoy life a little more
Unicolyon/Griffolyon: at least from Griffolyon's standpoint, Unicolyon is the only one of his companion's that uses -any- of their given common sense, and she's the only one he can stand at times. a gentleman to a fault, Griffolyon does get slapped those few times Unicolyon decides she dislikes being treated like a lady
Unicolyon/Amphilyon: it's not a whirlwind romance, but these two are quite certain of and rather open with their feelings for one another
Bladebreakers
Dizzi/Dranzer: best friends and very close, these girls stick together since they're so severely outnumbered 1:4 (or 2:8)
Dizzi/Draciel: in love? maybe, maybe not, but they definitely like each other and seem determined to get Dranzer and Driger together
Dizzi/Dragoon: Dizzi has a high patience level, so she deals well with Dragoon but there are times when he gets on even her nerves
Dizzi/Driger: Dizzi likes Driger well enough to approve of him getting hooked up with her best friend so it's safe to assume they are on friendly terms
Dranzer/Draciel: Dranzer puts up with Draciel well enough, most likely because of three reasons: 1) he's Driger's friend 2) he's Dizzi's boyfriend 3) he keeps Dragoon away from her with great regularity
Dranzer/Dragoon: as Griffolyon states in chapter two, fire and water don't get along terribly well. this pair is no exception. they don't like each other and they show it
Dranzer/Driger: these two -would- be a couple, if only they could work up the courage to tell one another how they feel...
Driger/Draciel: coconspirators on keeping Dranzer and Dragoon separate, or rather "damage control" as Dizzi will refer to them later, they get along rather well
Driger/Dragoon: these two do get along -most- of the time, but they'd probably be better friends if Dragoon and Dranzer didn't get into so many fights because Driger inevitably winds up on Dranzer's side
Draciel/Dragoon: Draciel often winds up with the job of keeping Dragoon out of trouble, specifically keeping him away from Dranzer. however the two are pretty good friends
All Stars
as of yet, I have no intention of putting any of the bit beasts from the All Stars in here except Trygle, and you won't be seeing much of her or Michael so I'll skip this for now
White Tigers
Galux/Galzzy: something like Dranzer and Dizzi, although these two aren't quite as badly outnumbered, it seems Galux has plenty of problems and Galzzy has plenty of time to listen
Galux/Galeon: at least Driger and Dranzer don't fight. this pair seems to do so whenever they're together, which afterwards often finds Galux seeking Galzzy for a chat or Unicolyon for some advice on dealing with males
Galux/Galmon: Galux finds Galmon annoying and is hardly afraid to knock him around for pestering her
Galzzy/Galeon: on rare occasions, Galzzy may gently chide Galeon for fighting with Galux as a way to hide his feelings, he doesn't like it but he doesn't push her off either
Galzzy/Galmon: she can stand him and not only that she will mother him a bit from time to time
Galeon/Galmon: Galeon honestly can't stand Galmon any longer than necessary and Galmon generally has enough sense to stay away from the lion
Demolition Boys
anybody wanna see these guys? 'cause if not, they probably won't make it to the party. I could probably write Tala and Wolborg into the fic though. and maybe Bryan and Falborg...
Remember that this is basically stuff I want you to know that I'm not sure I can effectively write into the story. I thank you all for reading my story and for putting up with this author's note. Feel free to grab a cookie on your way out... (indicates plate of cookies by door) I'll try to get chapter three up soon. Until then, buh-bye.
