I LOVE GWEN!! She sounds SO cool.
I LOVE RIURE!! She sounds so kind. (Actually, she reminds me of my very sweet friend)
I LOVE KIARKUS!! He seems so interesting/the kind of guy I’d want to get to know. He actually reminds me of my little sis (Personality wise).
@everyone (btw, Wingiby, you’re right; it would be super cool if the @everyone tagged everybody on this thread)
Darn, I wish more people had posted new characters so I could go on saying “I LOVE (insert name)!!”
1. That idea is sooo cool. (both of them) I like it. How do you come up with such cool/creative stuff??
2. I love how Rosario calls Ehud carino…. Sly girl.
@EVERYONE (again)
Wingiby seems to support me on this ( 😉 😛 ), but I want to ask y’all, too, so that I can make sure that you’re informed. I want to bring in two characters who’re dragons.
Question 1:Can I even bring in two characters? Is that fine or would one be better?
Question 2: Are the dragons in themselves fine? Would you rather me create human versions of them? Like same personality, but…. they would be human? Either way, IDC! I’m fine bringing them in as dragons if you guys are okay with it, and I like the possibility of experimenting with how a human version would look.. So, up to you all.
"I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell."
I *points to self* want you *points to you* to bring in the dragons. BECAUSE WHY NOT, DRAGONS ARE AMAZING!

Kami dropped to the ground crosslegged and observed, one hand slowly running down the edge of his chiseled jaw, the other laying neatly on his lap.
These people fascinated him. No one leaped forward to offer him a seat, a drink, food, wine, money, jewels, a famous person to meet. These people didn’t know who he was and the power he wielded in his world.
They just threw him some suspicious looks and went back to talking.
But just maybe he could take advantage of such things. He could see what it was to be a normal person. The one who blends into the crowd and goes ignored by the world.
A few minutes pasted. Kami drew his fingers through his curly red hair and sighed. Gosh, normal people have boring lives.
He wanted someone to be staring at him in awe or bowing at his toes. That felt normal. This did not. Everyone was ignoring him!
His natural instinct was to smile charmingly, order some loyal subjects around, and kick up his feet and watch the world go by.
Go by in the exact way he wanted it to. In his pristine skyscraper with Erin smiling dreamily at him. And he would smile back and beckon her forward and they would whisper secrets to one another until the wee hours of the morning.
Maybe if he looked lonely and dejected, someone would talk to him. But he didn’t know how to do that, everyone was always begging for attention.
“And the best part is I love it all.” He murmured aloud. “The attention, the power.”
So he sat and watched. Because observation was how he had become Emperor of the galaxies. How he had killed the rulers before him and how no one had ever suspected him. He had watched, learned, and struck.
And maybe he could rule these people too. No one could ever have too much to govern. Hopefully no one could see the shadows in his eyes as he plotted the demise of the leader of this group. But which one was it…?
One day you'll be someone's favorite author.
Thank you! And seeing him have to interact with another strong-willed character will be pretty character building, ha ha! And I love Riure! I’m actually pretty excited to have a friendly person join the group, bc all of ours seem to be a little more, uh, aggressive right now, lol. I also love her greatest hope and fear; those are some things I out to think about for my characters, as well as hobbies and such (thx for the indirect reminder 😉 )
Thank you! That is so cool that he reminds you of your sister (probably don’t want to tell her that though, lol)! And I’m totally fine with either dragons or person versions; whatever you decide to do.
Thanks! And don’t worry about it! I wasn’t very clear. 😉 I meant that I don’t know, bc I really don’t know what a giant chainlink sheet the size of several large gateways could be used for, lol. Do you have any ideas?! Oh, and I know you weren’t talking to me, but I love that list of names!
That idea of evil versions of previous characters and the castle inhabitants would be totally cool! Like Thwap said, how do you come up with this stuff?! Oh, and RANDOM BRAINSTORM! What about this? Maybe our characters meet evil versions of themselves, too (unless that’s what you meant and I just though I was brilliant for nothing)! *cackles evily and doesn’t care that she spelled it wrong*
I light the arrow, pull the bow,
Shoot that fire right through my soul.YAY! This guy is gonna make this stuff so awesome! 😀
I light the arrow, pull the bow,
Shoot that fire right through my soul.Dragons sound cool. As for form, I don’t care. On the one hand, if they are in a natural form, their size will limit movement? (maybe) The other characters would be pulled into a situation that required an answer. On the other hand, in the comics I’ve read, dragons that can change into human form often retain their power. This sometimes come from partial or full return to the original, draconic form for use. The best example I can think of is Corrin and other mamkutes from the Fire Emblem series. (Corrin was introduced to the Super Smash Bros games if a visual is needed.)
Well, what to do with a giant chain link sheet? The best thing I would use it for is to catch something that is to freakishly strong to catch any other way. If such beasts are already caught, the sheet can be used to to create a coat of chain or stronger scale armor to protect it. These are just a few ideas but its a start.
The Devil saw me with my head down and got excited. Then I said Amen
Oooo! I never even thought of that!! Thank you so much, bc you literally just opened up my mind to a whole new plot twist!!!!

YES I LOVE IT!…i don’t entirely know how i come up with this stuff @mischievous-thwapling @wingiby-iggiby…I guess i started with like what is in the scenery that i can fiddle with, wait i still want Colma to meet Rosario, then MWAHAHAH WHAT IF SHE CAN?!? and idk jumping from thread to threat to exist makes patterns everywhere i just i just have that sorta warped mind, but this one began with me still wanting Colma Ehud/Rosario interaction 🙂
Ack, I forgot and welcome to Gwin, @jasmine!
Me: “posting your weakness in Story Embers” *Gwen shoves me from my seat and snatches kindle*
Weakness: Lava.
Lol that’s awesome.
To be a light to the world you must shine in the darkness.

Oh no! I missed that! I shall reply momentarily…
One day you'll be someone's favorite author.
A man approached and Kami met him with an easy grin. “Greetings.”
“Hi, I’m Ehud,” He said, quite cheerfully. “Are you a psychopath?”
The question was not far off some of the bizarre things people whispered about him and he forbade it to surprise me.
“No,” He answered slowly but surely. “I’m Kami Seim.” He held up his fist.
Ehud looked inquisitively at it and they stared for a moment at each other.
“Oh,” Kami grinned to but the awkwardness at ease. “I forgot that ancients used the handshake. Fist bumps are much more hygienic and have completely replaced past physical forms of greeting.” He uncurled his fist and they shook hands.
Kami shook his hand out after release to try and expel the sticky feeling left behind and turned his gaze upward at Ehud again. Kami was still sitting on the ground but Ehud was still standing. Why was he doing that? Why didn’t he sit to so Kami didn’t have to keep craning his head up?
“Sit down!” He commanded with a little more harshness than intended.

BRING IT ON!! XD Dragons would be so cool, as would more humans. If you want to try and put them into human form, go with that! It’s up to you. You could also make them shape-shifters or something swag like that. 🙂
@everyone,
Ok, I’m just going to drop Riure and Sadiq in the middle of everything. That good with everyone?
You need names. Where did I put that list? Here we are. I’m gonna stick with more Eastern European names as my gut says they’ll work better. Marya, Piedra, Tanya, Bodine, Wojtek, Sergei, Vronsky, Sanya, Tupolov, Andreas, Aleksandr, Mikhail, Kutuzov, Kahzim, Helmut, Welkin, Jaeger, Wolfert, Klaus, Gustav, That should be good.
Thanks for the ideas! I’ll have to think its one over…
As for names, I’m just randomly coming up with some that you totally don’t have to use: Gwendolyn Ella Arspris; Gwendolyn Loraine Wolfe; Gwendolyn Wer Klaus. And that arrow/sword poison thing is a great idea!
Thanks! I’m going to look over your and Rusted knight’s ideas and see what I can put together.
Hi! Gwen looks REALLY cool! I can’t wait to see how she reacts to being randomly transported to a castle and stuck with a bunch of other peoples.
Me to! I’m seeing a lot of characters that will be interesting for Gwen to meet!
In the story there are two main kingdoms, Fillimere & Themyscira. Themyscira was ruled by a prince who was not old enough to rule but the king let him anyway, thinking he was wise enough to rule (turns out he wasn’t). Fillimere was ruled by a king who was old and supposedly wise. The kingdoms where old allies, built close together for strength. But they both suddenly turned on each other thinking the other had the one thing they both wanted. There was a rumor of a scepter with a map hidden in it that led to a secret kingdom. They both thought that the other kingdom would make a better allie than the one they already had.
Gwen lived in Themyscira with her Father and Mother. But when the war started, she ran away to Fillimere thinking that the Prince had started the war and the king was trying to stop it. But she found out that the king was just as foolish as the Prince. She couldn’t go back because both of the kingdoms would think she (and her parents) where a spy for the other side. She was trapped in a war she thought was fought for nothing but greed and a fairytale (turns out that the scepter and map where real).
Beautiful things don't ask for attention
Dragons sound good to me! If I brought in a talking fox, I see no reason you can’t bring in two awesome sounding dragons!
Beautiful things don't ask for attention
Well, however it works, your brain is awesome 😉
I like the fist-bump thing! It’s a lot better than touching elbows, lol 😛
Oh, go ahead! Just make sure that they have some parachutes and a trained guide.
Anytime! 😉 And your stories’ cities’ back-rounds are so cool! I love it!
@everyone
I’m busy trying to work out Kiark’s part; I have to keep changing things to get it the way I want bc my ideas for my story keep changing. I’ll try to get it posted soon!
I light the arrow, pull the bow,
Shoot that fire right through my soul.
