Yep, you read it right, my cast of main OCs has expanded some more with these two. >w>; They've been in the making for several years, and now they are here. This is Zuberi Magombo the African Bush Elephant, and his Great White Shark Wife, Esme Hardonias. Zuberi is a co-worker of Frysta and was one of the first friends she made when she settled in the fictitious U.S. state of Franklin several years ago. Here be some information about this married duo:

Zuberi:

• Gender: Male.
• Species: African Bush Elephant.
• Ethnicity: Tanzanian-American.
• Date of Birth: July 25th, 1976.
• Age: Late-40’s, Early-50’s.
• Height: 9 feet, 11 inches.
• Weight: 1,400 pounds.
• Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, 65% Hetero.
• Origin: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Family originally from Mwanza, Tanzania.
• Occupation: 5th grade teacher.
• Personality: Zuberi is very much a gentle giant. He’s very personable and friendly, and quite intelligent which makes him an effective teacher. In his downtime, he enjoys putting together models, and is a considerable fan of LEGO blocks and equivalents. And on occasion, if there is trouble in his area, he’ll take it upon himself to diffuse the situation.
• Abilities: Zuberi is an altered being with the ability of flight. Zuberi is able to fly at speeds reaching at least Mach 1, and can fly pretty far up into the sky. Naturally he’s also much more durable than the average elephant if he can pull all this off without harm. In addition, he also practices martial arts, and he’s one of the world’s best, and for a being of his size, he is deceptively fast and agile. He also has another somewhat unique ability, one that might be seen at some point.
• Voice Recognition: He sounds quite a bit like Phil LaMarr, particularly on the deeper side, think LaMarr's Green Lantern and Aquaman in the DC Universe.


Esme:

• Gender: Female.
• Species: Great White Shark.
• Ethnicity: Canadian-American.
• Date of Birth: January 8th, 1982.
• Age: Early-40's.
• Height: 9 feet.
• Weight: 950 pounds.
• Sexual Orientation: Pansexual.
• Origin: Portland, North Massachusetts (Maine). Family is from Sydney, Nova Scotia, and Campbeltown, Scotland.
• Occupation: Ocean Import Manager.
• Personality: If appearances are anything to go by, her personality is as tough and feisty as she looks. She's very blunt and unfiltered with her opinions, but her heart is in the right place, for she never says anything about people that are false. Esme is highly protective of her friends and family, especially of her sweet husband and children. When she's not working on incoming freight from the ocean, she's often found working out at home, or at the gym, and when not working out, she can be seen doing some rather detailed paintings of oceanic scenery. Esme also has a limited interest in model building, and sometimes joins Zuberi with his Lego builds. She knows a couple languages as well, fluent in English and Scottish Gaelic, and knows bits of French, Irish, and Manx.
• Abilities: Esme, while being big and strong, has no innate super abilities. She also can breathe underwater, but that’s nothing new to her fishy nature.
• Voice Recognition: She sounds a lot like Bonnie Hunt, with a very slight Scottish accent that's more apparent when excited or drunk.

I'm very happy with how they turned out. ^^ is very good at character creation, and I hope to have her draw them out again at some point. You'll surely see more of these two in the future!
