I apologize if I'm overstepping my bounds, but I really do like the idea of an art thread :D All of these come from the Winter Wolves' blog:



Melissa Flores

Occupation: 3rd year anthropology student

Languages: English, some Spanish



Not afraid to get her hands dirty, Melissa is an aspiring archaeologist who has signed up for a summer internship supervised by her professor. She’s an upbeat, friendly person who lives for the moment and enjoys new experiences. Although studying and theory may not be her strong points, she learns aptly through social interaction and getting involved. Loves dancing, meeting people, and asking questions.

Deandre Guillaume

Occupation: Rugby player, 4th year English student

Languages: French, English



Social and cultured, Deandre knows what it’s like to stay in a foreign country and reaches out to Melissa. He may seem carefree most of the time, but he’s serious about his education and has a back-up plan in case his rugby career cuts short. Although generally cheerful, he can get easily frustrated when irritated or stuck. Loves to cook

Hendrik Luikenhuis

Occupation: Geologist

Languages: Dutch, French, English, a little German



Hendrik is the head geologist of Calen Cave, working under his uncle, Augustin Dupont. Rational and down-to-earth, Hendrik is very approachable and loves teaching the students participating in the excavation. He has an avid passion for his profession, often getting lost in his work. Loves good food and, of quartz, can’t help throwing in a geology pun or two.

Kyler LeGrand

Occupation: 4th year anthropology student

Languages: French Belgian Sign Language, French, English



Kyler is a goal-driven and diligent person planning on a career in archaeology after he graduates. He tends to keep to himself, only speaking willingly when it’s about… archaeology. It’s hard to see underneath his aloof exterior since his stubbornness and judgmental attitude makes it difficult to connect to people. And what luck, he’ll be stuck digging next to the outgoing Melissa!

Shoji Toussaint

Occupation: 1st year university student, major undecided

Languages: French, English



Shoji is a quiet, timid individual who prefers to have his nose in an e-book, handheld, or sketchpad. Although reluctant to engage in conversation, he opens up when the topic involves video games. He’s extremely sensitive and empathetic to the people around him, and gets easily overwhelmed in social situations. Likes being helpful, but struggles with his lack of confidence.

Rosemarie Brenner

Occupation: Archaeologist and lithics expert

Languages: German, English, a little Dutch

Originally from Germany, Rosemarie joins the Calen Cave team during the summer excavations. Although she may clash with the staff over ideals and procedures, she’s dedicated to her work on stone tools. She’s energetic and demonstrative, with a teasing side to match.

Joan Petit

Occupation: 1st year music student

Languages: French, some English

Augustin Dupont

Occupation: Chief archaeologist

Languages: French, English

Head of Calen Cave, Augustin has been supervising the excavation for over twenty years. As the leading expert, he’s devoted to meticulously recording the history of the cave. Although passionate, he can be strict and overbearing depending on how the students perform.

Chantal Masson

Occupation: 1st year archaeology student

Languages: French, English, a little Spanish

Chantal is a frank girl who’d rather be diving for shipwrecks than be stuck digging in a dank cave. She can be blunt at times, but she’s supportive of her friends.

Oh, yeah! :man_in_love:
Bluenose
Here I was thinking I'd like Deandre because he's a rugby player too. But with those ears he's definitely a back, and therefore a villain. May the curse of a thousand props descend on him.
OtterFace
Ah! It took me a while to figure out the device on the side of Kyler's head is a cochlear implant! So he's not just hard of hearing, but actually deaf. Interesting...

This type of surgery is pretty controversial. Considering he knows sign language, I'm guessing he got the implant later in life as well. I kinda wonder now if the disability/surgery played a part in him developing this kind of distant and aloof personality. Hum...hum...
