expected when i started running this tournament to learn a lot about disabled characters i'd never heard of before, did not expect to get so attached to quirks of numbers that my brain would make up whole crossovers with fandoms i just learned about through this poll?

anyway they are friends now i have decided and are talking about science

(wylan and cinder poll backstory)

[ID: Fanart of Wylan Van Eck from Six of Crows and Linh Cinder from Lunar Chronicles, sitting next to each other and chatting. Wylan is a pale skinned teenager with haphazardly curly red hair and freckles. He has old fashioned scientific goggles pushed up into his hair, and is wearing a red shirt, navy blue jacket, brown pants, shoes, and fingerless gloves, and a blue scarf tucked into his shirt. There is a brown leather satchel beside him. Cinder is a tan skinned asian girl with dark brown hair tied up in a ponytail. She is wearing a grey tank top, khaki green pants, and white shoes. One hand has a fingerless leather glove on it, her other hand is instead a metal prosthetic, with burn scars where it connects at the wrist. Visible at her ankle is another metal prosthetic, this time for her left leg. The background is absent of detail and filled with multicoloured paint splatters in a way that suggests a 3d space.]
