As i have no pages drawn, i'm going to instead pump the thread full of original character designs. Part of the reason for this being that, i won't lie, the story focuses on them quite a bit, due to the theme of the story. Which i don't intend to spoil for you.

To give you a brief idea of what to expect, then i can summerize the whole story as this; A somewhat dark tale that, whilst still loaded with plenty of humerous and joyful moments, is still one trauma after another, littered with intense battles, a plot i hope is enthralling and will draw you all in, and a deeper look into the morals, opinions, and thoughts of the characters within. Official or otherwise. Oh, it may all end happilly enough, but, trust me; the cast is damn well going to have to earn their happy ending.
You can expect some very mild violence and swears, but i can assure you i'm not tasteless enough to divulge into mass F-Bomb drop's, Neon Genesis Evanglion-style Blood-From-the-Neck fountains of Gore, nor any gratouitous nudity.
(And should anybody wonder why i'm not begining with official characters, i have a decent enough reason; I'm hilariously out of practice at drawing the cast, and direly need to 're-train' myself to draw all of them.)

'Gyro'
"And how does flying around in tight spandex undies work for you, hmmm?"
A kid that goes only by the hanlde of "Gyro" that wound up appearing in Astro's neighbourhood one evening, whilst being chased by your run-of-the-mill thugs looking to steal an outsiders possesions. What they didn't realise is they would pick the one tourist that's not entirely human, and is often in a particuly foul mood. A strong and loyal companion if you happen to be in his good books, due to his deadpan snarker attitude, razor sharp wit, and his complete inability to realise when to hold back and give up on somthing. The origin of his cybernetic enhancements, however, is a depressing tale that puts into perspective why Gyro is in the horrible mood he very often is...
His robotic arm houses a hidden cannon, and he has a pair of jets installed in his shoes that allow him to fly.

No. 1 'Jay'
"Grao...?"
You'd be forgiven for looking at this creature and wondering, aloud, what the heck he's supposed to be, and where he even came from in the first place. Jay's original purpose was to be used as a prop for a fantasy-themed amusement park ride, hence his fantastic design. However, the scientist involved in his creation was in the Biology field, not the Robotic, and the plans were converted into a series of experiments based on the creation of organic life by messing with pre-existing DNA, Jay being the first developed, and filling the niche of the experiments 'Mammal' creature. The process is one that many, many religious sect's around the world are very adverse too. As a result, he and his creator are on the run, hopping from city-to-city in constant fear for their own saftey. Though Naive, Childlike, and Innocent in every sense, Jay is a vicious opponant to contend with, given his strong feline roots; however, Jay is very, very poor at detecting threats, and instead prefers to befriend anyone and everyone he meets. Oh, yes, and he isn't able to talk. He only communicates through a range of growls, his favorite being "Graaaooooooo", or variations on such.
(If you can't already the central theme running here, i shan't blame you for it. By just reading Jay's mini bio, you should have a slight idea, however...)
And that's all i've got at this point in time.
