In my manga, the main character has a friend who is an alien but I need help deciding on whether or not they should be a "gray" or something entirely new and creative. www.alien-ufo-pictures...races.html I want to go with a gray because they are easily identified as aliens. They are said to be very smart but the alien in my story is a ditz. I always thought a ditzy gray alien in chibi style would be cute. But I also have this theory that what people are actually seeing when they are abducted by aliens are not aliens at all but demons (Genesis Chapter 6-4). My alien is innocent and caring. But I like the overall appearance of the grays. He dresses up as a goth/skater kid when in public on earth to avoid giving away his identity. Overall grays are kind of plain looking. I want my alien to be cute. Most aliens in pop culture tend to be cute. Zim was cute, Stitch was adorable. My alien wears an oversized hooded sweatshirt and skateboard pants. Sometimes he wears a "Trespasser Tim" (the comic's parody of Invader Zim) T shirt, arm warmers, skateboard pants and a knit cap pulled over his face with holes cut out for his eyes. He's about three feet high so people think he's a young child. He's about sixteen or eighteen years old. He can speak but he sounds like a little kid. The main character is in her early twenties but has the emotional level of a teenager so they are on the same level. I want his name to be something cute and only one syllable that is otherwise meaningless. I originally going to call him “Skits” (after the Irish setter from Martha Speaks). I want something orginal but something really simaliar to Skits.
