So what's your characters birthday? Do they have a canon birthday? If not, did you pick one or if you were going to pick one, what would it be? Why would you pick that day? What zodiac sign would that make them? Does that fit them?

For Samus I would pick August 6th, because that was the release date of the original Metroid game. This would make Samus a Leo which apparently are "uled by the heart and operates from this dimension too. Leo's are born fortunate. Charismatic and positive-thinking they attract not only an abundance of friends and opportunities, but manage to survive life's stormy times with style and good humour."

...yeah. Not Samus.

For Mei Ling I would pick December 29th because this is the day the radio was patented. This would make her a Capricorn. It fits her pretty well, as Capricorns are "never content until reaching the top" and are "patient and persevering. They reach their goals because they know the longest journey commences with a single step and that the first step is always the most difficult." She's a little more happy-go-lucky than this though.

So anyway, your turn now.

For the Chief, I had a couple of ideas. I couldn't find, however, exact dates for the battle of Thermopylae. :P Neither the release date of the original Halo, nor the one for Marathon (Halo's spiritual successor) matches well with an astrological sign nor a theme of 117 or 7 that Bungie is fond of throwing EVERYWHERE.

So for him, I have chosen January 17th. Not only does that make his DOB 1/17 (lololol), it also makes him a Capricorn. And it fits him remarkably well. He's very serious business with a wry sense of humor. He's very organized, responsible, and takes a lot on himself. He's also very stubborn and reluctant to give up. And he naturally gravitates to leadership roles. I jawdropped when I read the description, it's very close! O.o

For Jack Spicer, I had to think a little bit. I decided to go with November 1st as that is the original air date of Xiaolin Showdown. I'm not sure whether this is correct or not and am a touch too lazy to check at the moment, but I at least like to think the puzzle box he got in the first episode was a birthday present. This makes him a Scorpio. He definitely has the intensity, pride, and focus. Even if he is a bit fail at everything.

Bella. Bella, Bella, Bella. I actually have some help with her. I took typical whelping months for grey wolves and used the US Navy's moon phase records to figure out when full moons were (because she is an Ahroun) for those months two years ago (as I've decided that's how old she is) in 2007. One of the resulting dates, April 2nd, is what I selected. This makes her an Aries. It fits her very, very well, with a take no prisoners and fast-moving, quick temper. Bella's sheer bluntness, openness, and stubbornness, and ferocity with little cunning are all there. Even better, it's the sign of Ares, the god of war. What more could she ask for?

And lastly, for Grif, I chose May 10th. This makes him a Taurus, which isn't quite right but I'll take it. The "motivated by self preservation" and "slow moving" sort of thing fits his laziness and apathy as well as anything else. Why May 10th? Because that, my friends, is the first day of the regular Grifball season and that's just how his luck rolls. :P

Let's see if the html fails again. I dare it. [scowl]
