The Skin Scrapyard
While reading and reviewing the Character Skins' insights, the authors decided to clip off some text, which ended up in the scrap yard. Even though it might be difficult to identify its context, it carries a lot of meaning.

Sticklip
-
Knowing a person requires valuable effort and precious time. In relation to this concept, we may explore this saying, ‘Thoughts make words, words make actions and actions make a character’. It is known that impressions and concepts are formed based on the interaction and behaviour of a person. Constancy in behaviour also plays a crucial role in the establishment of an image and the…

He is an invitee in almost all the social gathering because people don’t mind his company at all. He is quiet, understanding and…
-
Hides true feelings… his expression is frozen so there are hardly signs of being upset…
-
The mumbling … sound magnifier recordings
-
A feeling follows the realization that a person lives with borrowed ideology and concepts without any acknowledgment of the original logician?
-
In return Sticklip has to tackle distanced question and comments and stares.
-
Sticklip often forgets about his constant murmuring and finds it strange when people lock their eyes at his lips in hope to find a clue. This makes him feel awkward and at times, nervous.
-
It is a very common thought that you are remembered by what you say and do. When we think about Sticklip this statement holds no weight.
-
Sticklip also shrugs his shoulders when he feels the question demands an answer beyond a nod or a shake. According to Sticklip, questions like ‘How did you shed weight in a month?’, ‘Why didn’t you come yesterday?’ and ‘If you were in my place what would you have done?’ all deserve a shrug.
Flipside
Young and old, big and small... Flipside comes in all sizes.
If you have imagined Flipside to be very old in age, I believe you are still one step away from completely understanding him. If you stress your mind, there are high chances that you recall bumping into a Flipside who had moved from one city to a new one and was unable to refrain himself from ‘looking back’ at his previous lifestyle. Now you get it! Though he was young, energetic and vibrant yet he was unable to stop ‘looking back’.
His reliance on the past memories for happiness ensures round-the-clock happiness that is not entirely dependent on his present or future.
When all's said and done!
Flipside is a relaxed person who consciously takes life easily. He enjoys recalling cheerful moments from his past and re-living them. He is so much fascinated by his personal experiences that he cannot help overlooking other people’s perspective; emphasizing on his thoughts and ideas. Flipside is a pleasant person but it is his conversations that make people think that he is a selfish and ego-centric person who consciously tends to offend other people by highlighting his own personality. However, Flipside feels that the people around him are surprisingly rude. They are unable to realize the importance of the lessons he willingly shares with them out of his generosity but as he truly is generous, he continues to enlighten them with his knowledge. As life goes on, the cycle of action-reaction continues. Some things don’t change is a thought that often comes to people’s mind when they think about Flipside and surprisingly the same thought occurs to Flipside when he thinks about the people around him.
- Flipside has been named so because of the placement of his eyes. He is surely happy with himself that’s way he has chosen to keep the same name. If this wasn’t the situation he would have got his name changed long back.
- In addition to the daily difficulties that Flipside faces, he also has to deal with the beliefs of people, which are also related to his appearance.
- Flipside believes that in order to reach a high position in life, a person needs consistent motivation and perseverance.
- The pleasures and pains of life have been randomly and distantly placed on a route, which is undefined but it contains numerous ups and downs.
- Flipside relates the slow-ride to the walk up a hill where you get time to think, observe and enjoy the journey.
Scuff
- For Scuff, doing creative work is indeed a hard-to-do painful task.
- It is because of his fingernails that Scuff features in discussions and often causes disturbances because of them.
- Over the years, people have established an eminent fact about Scuff. They have discovered that Scuff mainly gets into trouble because of his sheer bad luck. They really feel sorry for him because according to them, Scuff is the most unlucky living being in the entire world. This is because he is always suspected of doing something wrong, even though he has not done it. Well, he might have done it but it never gets proven because all the people have happily believed that he is unlucky. They have accepted it as a fact that he is a victim of suspicion and is always alleged to have done something wrong.
- He looks good, thinks good and says good but that may not always be good for others.
Hammerhead
- On the other hand, he offers great understanding to disorderly situations and unruly people.
- It is true that Hammerhead does not think poorly about others but he does invest a lot of time thinking about what people say and do.
- Infants get scared when they see his shadow.
- Yes, he enjoys healthy discussions and criticism but…
- These concepts are so clear that they can be anytime printed in the form of a book, maybe with the title, ‘The Principles of Principals’.
- It also involves the acceptance of the existence of diverse stubborn personalities (don’t dare to change them).
- This is good in many different ways… people don’t consider Hammerhead open for frivolous talks, they know he possesses a sober personality. He enjoys his loneliness as he gets time to observe people without feeling obliged to participate in social gatherings and discussions.
- He staunchly promotes a balance of things in life.
