your brother and sister are in Character Castle 2.0 right now, so if no one responds you could drop him in as well! It’s getting very full in there, so if you want him to interact, you’ll have to be pretty vocal about him being available and wanting to interact XD I’m waiting to see if two people respond to my character interaction invitations, but if not, I might be able to interact with him! Or, I’ll be dropping a third character in once the challenge ends, so he could interact with Finn 🙂
Yes, I may or may not have been reading everything in there since my sister joined…XD
Ok, thanks!
I’m not sure what his deepest regret is… I probably should find out anyway.Finn: “hey! I’m not telling you!”
“Be quiet Finn! You know nothing is safe from me.” 😂
(I love having conversations with my characters😂. I actually spoke to them about my joining SE and becoming a better author. I nearly died😂)IMO those characters are some of the best to have in castles XD You should drop him in sometime!
Haha, good to know. I think I will at some point. Maybe after I do some with Finn and Ava.
I really like that arc for Finn! What’s this story about?
I’m currently in the first draft so there will probably be some changes, but currently…
He lives in a modern world and doesn’t believe in fairytales, dragons, stuff like that (he’s very irritated his little sister does😂). Little does he know he’s a couple miles from a portal to a magical world, Gavonia, where he used to live.
His father was killed in a battle in the magical world when Finn was young, so his mother, (who does not have the magical power people from Gavonia do) returned to America.
The magical power is called the Gift. Some have it more strongly then others, but it generally cannot be commanded. The Gift only works if you have a lot of genuine hope. The Bruinsdale family is strong with the Gift, and Finn is the first person in… um… I don’t know how long 😂 to be able to control it.
Anyway, his mother and sister are captured by the witch Holda’s army (which is from Gavonia) because she knows about Finn from Keta, which I’ll explain in a minute. Finn ends up finding the portal and enters into Gavonia.
Due to Holda wanting to capture Finn (thus increasing attacks on the Folk) and Finn’s demands to rescue his family, a war begins.
Through it all Finn is stuggling with doubting himself and believing he’s useless. When he seems to fail in two different places, he doubts himself even more. But as events unfold he begins to realize that maybe he can do something. He helps Ava, a war orphan, heal, saves many prisoners, prevents Holda from turning into a dragon using a young princess’ blood, and saves the war through a seemingly bad (although noble) choice. He also redeems a Keta in book two.
The Keta are Folk who were captured by Holda. They loose hope and join Holda’s army. Because they have lost hope they can no longer use the Gift.Yep, I’m just gonna leave it on that dark note. Great job, Chloe. 😂😂
Ehh… maybe I shouldn’t… I know! I’ll describe Holda’s minions, hehe.
The Dintey (that name is probably gonna go🤦♀️) have gray skin, elephant like ears, fangs, are very short but stocky, and have floppy noses (kinda like a proboscis monkey).
In attempt to save his life, Finn yanks on a Dintey’s nose during a fight. Sadly I may have to remove that scene. 😂
