[edit]
Adding to this post because I snagged a name I wanted on a clearing! So now I'm trying to decide on a species and color for Balloonatic :D
Species: Warador or Aeanoid Color: Storm, Reborn, Nightmare, or Dark Matter
Any suggestions? Not sure about his character yet except that he will be a bit crazy in a mad scientist sort of way, to fit with his name ;) Maybe doing experiments with balloons, or trying to take over the world with balloons somehow?
Now for the other pet I'm working on...
While I'm patiently (ha) zapping him, I decided to work on collecting items for my pet Zeppelin. My goal is to turn him into an Experiment :

His character/story is that he's a college student, probably a junior, and a creative writing major. He's vain and a bit full of himself, but he can be a nice guy. He has a gijinka form too.
I'm looking for a minion and items for his treasure chest that are related to writing, besides just pens, pencils and paper. (There are so many, I'll have to make some choices...) I'm not sure yet what genre he'll write, so just general ideas are good now. Here's what I have so far. (I know there are other typewriters, but I'm just going to have the one for now.) [item=English: Simply Classic Sticker]
Thanks for any ideas and suggestions!
I can only really help with species and colors suggestions so, for Balloonatic or anyone else balloon related, have you ever considered a bumbus? They're round, sort of balloon like. (if you do ever consider a bumbus I'd say darkmatter) But if you're deadset on either a warador or aeanoid, I think a storm warador or a dark matter aeanoid. I'm a little biased for the warador since I have one too :P
I've thought about a Bumbus... I don't really like the standard pose much, but I do like the Dark Matter one a lot! (And the Reborn one, even though it looks like it's going in two different directions :) ) I'll add it to the list I'm considering.
