See yes! You have this careful detailed idea of what your character should be like and then you actually set them loose and they completely murder your plot and preconceived notions of them! Lol but I’m so glad her character’s grown this way, it’s fascinating.
Thank you! LOL, every time!
I’m considering pulling out Connel–he doesn’t appear until either the second book or later in the first book and I’m time crunching XD–and instead putting in an antihero (or villain, or hero, she hasn’t told me…) because I need to start using her in the story very soon. But I’m a little apprehensive about it because she is an lgbtqia character and I don’t know how overt she’ll be…
Any advice? XDGo for it! What I’ve heard of her sounds very cool, I’d love to see how you write her!
@everyone
Since everyone else is taking the opportunity to switch out characters, I think I’ll do the same. I love Chantara, and I may leave her in a little while longer, but I want to bring in another character. I’ve discovered a lot about her, and I don’t think that she’ll be doing much more from now on.
Here are the options, vote on your favorite!
King Hakan. The big-bad-great-evil character and the king of the Kezbes (Chantara’s tribe). Sees himself as the savior of the world and all-around tragic hero, but he’s actually an idiot. He has an interesting backstory, but I need to flesh it out.
Lachlin. One of Chantara’s friends. He’s less of a villain than she is. He has genuinely good intentions, he just doesn’t have enough guts to act on them. I decided to upgrade his position. Before this, he was only mentioned in the books, now he gets a couple scenes. He’s shy and quiet.
Kongar. One of Chantara’s friends. I have no idea which direction his character is going XD Same thing as Lachlin, he’s getting an upgrade. All I know is that he’s probably more cheerful and outgoing than Chantara or Lachlin.
