I, Bottle Cap, am going to have a contest! It will be a little more challenging than requesting Spot-fics, mind you. You see, I'm in search of DIBS FIC. It can be a one-shot, a song fic, or a REAL fic. Your call. The prize is a SECRET. It will be announced upon being given. :) The challenge is that I'll be judging your portrayal of Dibs McKlan, not just the content of the story.
Contest will come to conclusion on March 13th. Please send all entries to me by that date. THANK YOUU!!!!
Here is Dibs:
Name: Levi McKlan
Nickname and how they got it: Dibs; Was christened at the age of eight when he and older brother, Blade, joined a gang for protection.
Age: 19
Personality: Levi is well-known for his tough exterior, but few know of the softness that resides under it. He doesn't believe that guys should ever cry, for it is a sign of weakness. He keeps his feelings inside, even if he feels he might bust from doing so sometimes. He's a quick thinker in sticky situations and fearless in fights of any sort. He's looked death in the face before, and he jokes that they're good friends -- sometimes to the uneasiness of others. Though he puts up a good act, the two closest to him know that he's got a good heart, is more loyal than a dog, and built to succeed. He makes friends easily, whether it be because the strangers fear him or his apathetic personality that draws people to him. Though he can have fun with the best of them, Levi never speaks of his past or emotions. Those that know him, or of him, know better than to bring up personal topics. Only his girlfriend can manage the task without ending up with a trip to the doctor's. His reputation proceeds him where ever he goes, one that calls him a murderer and the best pickpocket around.
Appearance: Standing at roughly six feet, Levi has a very muscular build acquired from his days working on cargo ships, loading and unloading heavy crates of goods. His short, medium brown hair is always tossled, but cute, and his eyes are said to be like the sea after a storm. His tan seems permanent from spending so much time out under the merciless sun all of his life, and he can be found wearing dark khaki slacks that fit loosely with a dark blue button-up shirt and a white wife-beater.
Newsgirl of Choice: Bottle Cap, obviously.
Gang Affiliation: Brooklyn; formerly part of a gang no longer in existance called the Birds. He fled that gang at 13, when his brother was murdered in front of him. After that, he was a part of a gang in London, England for several years before finally joining Brooklyn's ranks.
Anything Else: Being raised in gang very unlike the Newsies, Dibs learned his art of picking pockets at a young age and, while in London, perfected it. He spent five years as a small time hitman in London, and has made himself a name overseas because of that. Not many know of this past, but he does exude a sort of eeriness when angered that makes people suspect he isn't so innocent. Though he has a lot under his belt, Dibs keeps it all to himself so he isn't a big deal in New York. He just blends in. He still carries his British accent and often uses his native slang; bloody, blokes, birds (girls), etc. He calls BC 'ducky', or sometimes his 'silly little duck'.
And, if you please, his girl:
Name: Katie Mason
Nickname and how they got it: Bottle Cap; given by her older brother, Zero, as a very young girl for collecting the caps off of her daddy's beer bottles to make up games.
Age: 17
Personality: Known for her stubbornness, Katie doesn't give in to others easily, even if its for her own good. She's very quick and witty, usually blasting fiery quips at anyone that tries addressing her. She can be a very difficult person to be around, but it is mostly just a show. Her greatest fear is being hurt as she has been hurt so many times before. Her strategy is to push everyone away that endangers her resolve, though there have been a few exceptions to the rules. She has a brother and a boyfriend who seem very capable of putting her in her place when it is needed, but other than them, she shows trust or emotion to no one. Once you earn her trust, if that occurs, she is very loyal to you. If you break her trust once, it is not likely to ever be forgiven. She is a bitter girl in a bitter world, and her pride is what keeps her alive.
Appearance: Her auburn hair hangs in thick waves at the middle of her back and her eyes usually hold a glare much identical to her older brother's. They are grayish-blue, with some green and her skin is very fair. She stands at five foot two inches and has a small build, though strong and capable of holding her own in a fight. She can usually be found wearing black leather gloves with the finger tips missing and a ratty black messanger bag hanging across her.
Newsboy of choice: Original Character above; Dibs McKlan
Gang they're affiliated with: Brooklyn
Anything Else you feel I ought to know: Is shit for selling papes and has never sold one in her life. She makes her money at being a pickpocket.
