Hehe...realized I haven't really had a proper character idea place for my characters....if that makes sense. So, here's the official one. All officially.
Name: Grip
Age: 19
Species: Human
Pred/Prey: Prey
Gender: Male
Description: Around 6 feet tall. He wears a white button up shirt, trousers, boots, a very shabby and dirty black frock coat and tinted goggles at all times, although he often just uses these as a headband (The world he arrived from had perpetual night – he has never really gotten used to the sun and so insists on keeping them close at hand.) Pale, with unkempt brown hair and blue eyes. Has various strange and archaic devices under his coat. Not very magical, but has shown some ability with water based magic.
History: Grip's history before coming to Felarya is a bit of a self kept mystery. What is known is he came from an industrialized world, although one with areas as wild as Felarya and bathed in perpetual night. The level of technology seems a bit behind other worlds, but is still capable of amazing things, like Grip's Travel Sphere. On that note, for whatever reason, he determined he needed to leave his world in a hurry, using the Travel Sphere for a one-way dimension journey. Not long after landing on Felarya, he encountered Fenja the Jotun, who he impressed with the weapon systems on the Sphere. To his surprise, Fenja quickly befriended him and started a partnership in adventuring with him. He has spent quite a few months with Fenja, who he can count as his one true friend on Felarya.
Personality: On the outside, Grip has a sarcastic and cynical personality, with a dry wit. While not impolite at all, having a well developed sense of manners, he is still cold towards most people and predators. He can be a very good gentleman and is kind to ladies, but still keeps them at a distance. If he does start to warm up to people, he is still hampered by his lack of social skills. The exception is Fenja, who he can get quite angry with, but also a bit more emotional. He can be quite moody and his mood shifts from day to day. In truth, he is a very emotional person at heart who worries and his hurt by alot of things, although he keeps up a cold demeanor to cover this. The cold front also seems to work to cover some parts of his past he'd rather not discuss and he keeps those locked away with his other softer feelings.
The one person he really has a relationship with is Fenja. He is generally much nicer to her than other predators or people. He does argue with her alot and gets frusterated with her irresponsible decisions and serious lack of restraint. However, if anyone were to badmouth or threaten her, he would not hesitate to do serious harm to them. He tends to be more understanding and receptive towards predators, as he's a little disconnected from most of the people on Felarya.

Name: Fenja
Age: 57 (Young for a Jotun)
Species: Jotun
Pred/prey: Pred
Gender: Female
Description: Little less than 70 feet tall. Fenja wears a leather vest and a fur wraparound skirt. She has small tusks, a tail resembling that of a cow and pointed ears. She has an open, friendly face. Her eyes are light brown and her hair fair and shoulder length, being rather messy. She carries a large sack on her back with her belongings as well as a belt with more of these. She wears the Travel Sphere by her side, (a largish brass orb, where Grip lives) it sits in a sling she has over her shoulder. The Travel Sphere has a complex series of gyroscopes and gears that keep the small room inside level at all times. Besides being the humble abode of Grip, it also is the home of several rather deadly weapons. Fenja carries Grip around and he uses the Sphere’s weapons to help her when it’s needed. Not very magical but has shown ability in ice based magic.
History: Fenja grew up with a lot of brothers and sisters in Jotunsberg, the Jotun cave city. She was considered the wild one in her family and was constantly getting into trouble, sometimes serious trouble at that. However, her open personality made her popular with most of the other inhabitants of Efisga Valley (With the exception of the elves, who she developed a taste for). Often the snow dryads or ice nagas would bail her out of trouble. When she grew older, she started to gain a love of traveling, often going very far from Jotunsberg and even out of the valley. At first she was a bit lonely even if she was having fun and collecting neat stuff, but she eventually met a male Jotun who traveled as much as she did. They fell in love and roamed for some time, before he was tragically devoured by a very powerful and rare monster, giving himself up as bait to let Fenja escape. Since that date, Fenja has been a bit squeamish about eating male prey, with the memory still burned into her mind. She also had difficulty starting relationships with other males, either being reminded of her lover or comparing them to him - she started to move towards dating women. After that she was heartbroken. She left the Valley and wandered, just wanting to be alone. She eventually ended up in central Felarya, where she began to regain her cheer after meeting all the interesting (and often attractive) inhabitants, making lots of friends, escpecially in the equally lustful Vivian and Melany. After meeting Grip, who fried some harpies who had attacked her, she decided to make him her partner, partly for the serious firepower the Sphere granted her but mostly because she wanted someone detatched who would wander around with her.
Personaility: Fenja is open and cheerful most of the time, but with alot of stubborness and a constant want for fun. She is very impulsive and will go along with any idea that pops into her head. She also has little restraint and is easily tempted by sex, booze or a potential fight. She loves brawling although she rarely likes losing. She enjoys traveling and collecting things and enjoys the company of friendly people. She can be very kind and openly so and is always ready to cheer someone up. She does have trouble admitting she is wrong, or that something may be impossible for her, having a healthy amoung of arrogance.
As a predator, Fenja is very determined. She usually only hunts in the late afternoon and her preferred target is small groups of females. She has a very strong sense of smell and can lay out a scent map in her head of a wide area around her. Her favourite food is elves, and she also has the most fun chasing them. That doesn't mean that humans and nekos aren't on the menu though as elves can be hard to find. She has developed a taste for neko and finds them almost as fun to hunt as elves. Fenja is upfront and doesn't like to use trickery to get her prey. She chases them to catch and eat them, although even she isn't above a little fun, especially during the chase. Fenja has alot of fun hunting, to the point that a very skilled prey may get let off even if captured, if it gave Fenja an interesting enough chase. Bribing, threatening, offering someone else as food or crying and begging all have no effect on her. A good story might work, if it impresses her enough. She waits quite a while before digesting her prey, usually leaving it until before she goes to sleep, enjoying the meal until then. While a fearless hunter, she tends to not advertise this much around Grip and doesn't talk about hunting at all around him, aware of his status as prey. She usually leaves him behind with her gear while she goes for food. She has also shifted her diet towards elves and nekos rather than elves and humans, sensitive of his being a human, although she's practical and a good meal comes first.
