Two of my characters, portrayed by Ribnose as they appear in a storyworld she and I are slowly expanding.

Gary Wolfgang and Rocco Moore are sixth graders who have lived within two houses of each other since they were five.
They're basically brothers in everything but bloodline.
Rocco is a jock who doesn't quite fit in with the other jocks. When he's not wanting to be the raccoon version of Nolan Ryan, he likes reading, being Wilderness Boy in back of his house, or biking all over town.
Gary is a jock who -does- fit in with the other jocks, but fortunately Rocco is there to blunt the more negative effects of that culture. When he's not on the football team or playing the drums, he's skating, swimming when it's warm and snowboarding when it's not.
