Fictional character blog

Currently I'm between working on two particular characters that I had already worked with before. Alcyone is a fierce and witty, but deeply disturbed young woman who is either able to see supernatural beings or prone to hallucinations. She works as a projectionist and lives alone with her possibly imagined roommate, Fachtna, a chaotic creature that lives in her closet. The two have a similar sense of humor, and so they get along fairly well. She is recently released from a mental institution and attempting to find a footing without her controlling mother.
The other possible character is Varney, a gestalt being (a large kangaroo/rabbit/candy monster with large claws) that lives in the woods in an oddly well furnished cave. Varney is composed of many people who died in the woods, dreaming of a better life away from the coalfields where this mountainous forest sits. Varney is easygoing and has a number of hobbies to keep themself occupied: watching their collection of VHS tapes (VHS is their preferred format), eating copious amounts, studying geology and collecting coal figurines. Coal is something of a morbid obsession of theirs, as it forms over vast spans of time from decaying organic matter, as well as the amount of risk people take to recover it, like digging long gone corpses from a hole that occasionally becomes a mass grave. Not that Varney is entirely morbid, but has something of a dark sense of humor.
