    Hi! I’d like to kinda just hop in here. My character I’ve already posted about before but not here. Shall I repost this while changing some stuff?…yeah since Igua is the only one actually talking to me right now (Something about shattering one characters’ finally perfect life, making another blind, and the rest are just refusing me to put on my character cloak. Anyways, here in Igua Cloak…

    Name: Igua Dyke Cloak. (Note: Cloaks never share their true last names except with each other, part of tradition. He also rarely shares his middle name.) masculine
    World: Wond.
    Type/breed/kind/whatever-you-want-to-call-it: Man
    Profile: green eyes, shaggy brown hair, one side of face and neck has burn scars. 5’3″ Rash air.
    Culture/people: Realn, a warrior people who believe pacifism to be a weakness. They live on these small islands called the Realn Isles which contain veins of the most precious metals of Wond leading to many invasion attempts from other countries. They follow an emperor/empress but most of all follow a spiritual being they call Ehyeh (actually Hebrew for I AM so you know who that is.)
    Clan of the Realn: the Cloaks, spies on the Mainland.
    Character Traits: Rash, irresponsible, (note: at the beginning of the story) somewhat crazy with ideas, doesn’t like butter knives, when he speaks in Trade Tongue (which happens to be the most common-spoken language of the Mainland.) he often speaks with an accent (not a Realn accent, he has never seen the Realn Isles) and uses a lot of slang. At the end he basically transforms (with a lot of help from his “horse”) he basically becomes responsible, and the opposite as before if you omit the butter knife thing and the accent and slang though he uses it less often because of the pleadings of his Cloak Circle. A boy to a man story.
    Notes: I have a lot of fantasy characters even though it is not the genre I am the most into right now. Igua seems to right now trump them all in my favor since I added some bits of sci-fi elements. Skullcrusher, Igua’s “horse”, is a type of metal-like alien that can morph himself into different forms and he has a lot of tech from his own culture. He is called a Metamorph by Igua. During the story, to keep his existence and tech secret, he disguises himself as a black and red horse which Igua rides. Skullcrusher does not mind butter knives.
    I am thinking how to start this story since I think that starting with Igua meeting Skullcrusher and learning each other’s languages would be a little flimsy and boring a start but where else shall I start?
    Genre: fantasy, sci-fi

    Piece of slang: “The effe (Ef-ee) woul’ be dest.” Translation: The effect would be devastating.
