Rain
Comic 662 - Character Page Update... coming soonish
Author Notes:
One of the more time-consuming aspects is that I'm actually going back, and redrawing certain characters who might not have appeared since before Chapter 15 (where a bit of a shift in art quality happened), so that everything is nice and consistent and neat-looking. To add to the neatness, I'm shortening the exhausting length of the piece, by putting two supporting characters to a row, instead of one per like the main cast (that'll probably make more sense if you observe the pictures). This will hopefully make it a little easier to find someone if you're trying to locate a certain character.
Also, it will finally be getting a "Fictional Characters" section, containing Pandora, and Mad GigaKaizer X, and of course, the cast of Black Wings Kaminari. I've only been meaning to include this through the last few updates.
I'm also considering print-exclusive characters, but I'm not sure if I should. I mean, Allison (from Chapter A in Volume 1) is on the current one more so because she's been mentioned several times in the online pages as well. She's significant, and it IS possible she could pop in the main story (that I'm still debating). But I'm also considering Jack and Stacey (from Chapter B in Volume 2). I don't know that I have any future plans for them, but for the sake of being thorough, I'm considering it. Input would be welcome here.
Finally, descriptions will be getting a little bit of an overhaul. The current character bio page outright lies in a couple spots to avoid spoilers (for instance, Emily is listed as straight). For the upcoming one, I plan to keep in mind that I want to avoid spoilers, but I'm picking careful wording so that it technically remains true whether you haven't read it yet, or you're caught up to the latest page. Getting the perfect wording may prove tricky, and may take some time, but I think it's important (and may help make it more interesting to read).
One other small addition, is that I'll be including birthdays now too. I've mentioned them in the past for most characters, but I want to include them because... I don't know. It's fun to share a birthday with someone, even if they are fictional.
And this is what I'm working on between pages, Volume 3, and longings to do other art once in a while. So hopefully, I can avoid more "YOU NEED TO UPDATE THE CHARACTER PAGE!!!!1!" I know. Thank you. I'm on it. I don't like naming dates, but it'll probably be out before Chapter 25 (the next chapter) ends, if I can help it.
And once it's finally done, I'll get to the FAQ too!

[EDIT] - There's an error on Ana's birthday, that I'm only noticing now. It should read 1994. My bad.
I actually left this in the bottom of the final image: "All character descriptions based on first appearance to avoid spoilers for new readers."
So yes. Technically, Gavin is 18 at the current point in canon. But at his first appearance in the story, he's still 17. ^_^
Actually, I noticed a bit later, but that's a mistake. Even the month and day aren't even right. What happened is Chanel's birthday was entered into Ana's space for some reason. It's super embarrassing that that was an image I showed off to the public, but god knows how long it'd have gone unnoticed if I didn't. ^^;
Ana's REAL birthday is November 17, 1994. XD
Actually, most of them are quite short (I'm just really bad at drawing proportions). I haven't worked out exact heights for everyone, but I think the only major characters over six feet tall would be Jessica and Chase.
