Please keep the ears. Please torment Clear with the desire to want to pet them. I'm also down for some vague sci-fantasy setting that can be developed as needed for us to keep things we like best about our characters. Clear can just as easily be powered by magic instead of science, for example.

Today is one of my days off so I'm pretty computer accessible today. (I'm an EST 9-5 worker so you can find me around most evenings otherwise.) I have an open musebox I can brainstorm a rough starter into if you'd like me to do so. I can also follow you somewhere if you'd like to take control of the starting setting!
