Different like night and day, man. Their relationship is
symbiotic, and the two species' history goes back thousands of years.

Treska's skin is damn near impenetrable (sp?), and Onika's is
pretty damn tough too. And if, by some unimaginable miracle, you
somehow bested Treska, then you'd have to deal with Khetzel, who is
known as a both a counsel and a dispatcher. But maybe I'm getting
too far ahead of myself. After all, I can't let the cat out of the
bag yet, now can I? ;)

They are both from the same planet/reality. Treska is Onika's
appointed protector.

Um...okay, you totally lost me on that one. Onika is very sweet-
natured and wouldn't hurt anybody (though the same cannot be said
for her guardian). Besides, she likes cats!

All I can say is...wtf? Man, I know I haven't had much sleep over
the past couple days, but did I miss some posts on this? I feel
like I'm coming into the middle of a conversation or something. I'm
probably just tired, I reckon...
Oh yeah, if there were riot cops attacking Treska and Onika, rest
assured, they would quickly be dealt with by Treska's kin. They ALL
work together to protect Onika's kind. (This entence only makes
sense if I interpreted your previous statement correctly. If I
didn't, then yes, the medicine is working fine).

The attached file is the bike from
"White power"? Uh, you _do_ know my girlfriend is black, right?
Actually, I thought the mirrors added a "German-esque" look to the
bike (a la the iron cross thing), which would fit in well with the
tank art I'd like to do (a tasteful 1940's-style pin-up of Veronika,
a Romanian/German vampire bat), I didn't see an attached file, as
Yahoo no longer permits them, but I do not think I would stretch the
bike anymore than what is shown in the concept drawing. I imagine
it's gonna be tricky enough to steer the damn thing with the rake
I've designed for it; I can't imagine what it'd be like if it was
even longer!
