I think the second one would be cool.  It would give us a new setting to work with as well.

Yeah that might be helpful.  I only skimmed a few of the older posts though.

Oh yeah, would you be able send me the descriptions of your characters again? I tried to find the file in older posts but it didn’t seem to be working.

I learned a lot last year, haha.  It was a crazy year but it was good.

No, I see the email.  I have two emails and I don’t regularly check the one I gave to you 🫤.  That was my bad.

Hehe sounds super cool!! Yes, shoot me the story, I’d love to read it.

Sweet!

Oh, I must not have seen.  Sorry! My primary email is raspberrryrose05 at gmail.com if you ever need to reach me again and if you didn’t already have it.

Really? What is your idea?

Okay! I’ll look back and see what exactly is going on in this story….

Hello!! Sorry for the late reply.

Indeed, it has been a very long time!  How was 2022 for you?

Would you like to continue the roleplay? Or start a new one?  I’m open to any ideas you may have. 😁

Hey Emma, I tried to get a message to you a few months ago, but you must have missed it. Sorry it took so long, you must have been worried about Erynne.

Erynne hasn’t replied because she’s having some trouble at home and isn’t allowed to contact her internet friends, even though she really misses them.

It sounds like a pretty tough…[Read more]

1) Name: Annalee Sylbard

3) Career/Role in Story: side character, either the MC’s lil sibling or the kid they stumble upon and unofficially adopt

@jared-williams

Didn’t tag you all in the first post, but thought you might want to be tagged. 🙂

Wow. I was a lot closer than I thought I was.

She sounds like a really cool character… in both meanings of the word lol

Glad I could help!

oooh she’s pretty! sorry I haven’t been on in a while

1) Name: Angelica or something elegant sounding

2) Age: late teens, early twenties

3) Career/Role in Story: side character or main character

4) Personality: Rather intense. She puts passion into everything she does. Tends to be serious most of the time and is very perceptive…[Read more]

WELCOME BACK! And YES, throw Niarok back in. The new characters are:

@emma-walker ‘s Isella who is a compassionate and brave princess and has a connection to time. She is sometimes able to control time itself, but it exhausts her. I believe she’s twenty-ish (emily-waldorf ?)

I pulled Khalon out and dropped Enydd in. She…[Read more]

I was just wondering what everyone has been up to lately in the writing world.

So, what have we been up…[Read more]

It would start with her on a beach, a large city behind her with towering sky scrapers near its center.
I’m a bit busy at the moment, so I’m not sure how quickly I’ll be able to respond, but I will when I can.

Ok, sure!

1) Name: I’m assuming this is K’Nika?

2) Age: maybe 20 here

3) Career/Role in Story: Side character

4) Personality: sweet, quiet, gives the benefit of the doubt a lot, a little emotional, shy, patient… She’s just K’Nika XD

5) Would you be friends with that character?: of course!

6) Any other details you may have…[Read more]

I figured. I’m just messing with ya. 🙃

Well, in my real work when I actually know the characters, I use it constantly! It’s one of my favorite poetic devices to convey atmosphere and backstory. Depending on the character and their voice, I can even go slightly overboard with it XD

However, in this case I know nothing about the character, so it was random for o…

It’s a joke.

I’m kidding.

Mostly. 😉

Anyways, to the point. Character voice makes everything from dialogue to normal scenery descriptions pop off the page, but, for me at least, it is a very difficult…[Read more]

I consider the defining features of a vast amount of dystopian novels to be what I call the Big Three:

• An oppressive and autocratic government that is usually lying to its people…

Ok! (I’ll probably spell a lot of this wrong but you know what i mean XD)

1) Name: just a guess…Weinik?

2) Age: He looks almost thirty in the pic, but I’m guessing based on information I totally don’t have he’s in his early twenties?

3) Career/Role in Story: supporting character

4) Personality: sarcastic, down to earth, an…[Read more]

I’m not exactly sure how to start this, but I have an idea I’d like to try if that’s alright with you. I was wondering if we could do something based in the world that I’m currently writing for.

It’s a bit different than your previous rp, as the setting is modern fantasy, but there are many high fantasy type worlds connected to it,…[Read more]

Understandable.

I’ll get a new post up today then, thank you!

Are you open to others joining your RP?

1) Name: Diana.

2) Age: In her late thirties.

3) Career/Role in Story: Mc.

4) Personality: Is a sweet lady who loves kids. Confident.

5) Would you be friends with that character?: Sure!

6) Any other details you may have gotten from the picture: She looks confident.

7) What would this…[Read more]

Sorry I have not been participating much lately. By the time I come back from work, all the characters are done. 🙁 If you could save one or two every so often for me, I would be happy to do them.

I’ll give two answers to each question.

1) Name:

Something that starts with a J or a B.

Nick. He just looks like a Nick.

2) Age:

Both are in their twenties I’m assuming.

3) Career/Role in Story: Both seem like side characters.

4) Personality:

Confident. Cheerful. Extraverted.

Introverted.

5) Would you be friends with that…[Read more]

I’m very intrigued!!! I would love it if you’d let me know when you post your other characters!

Right, I suppose they are. lol I have been cautioned in the past from using made-up fantasy names used by someone else particularly commercial entertainment groups for legal reasons. I am not sure how true that is but it seems logical as some groups can be sensitive to possible copyright issues. Otherwise real-world names…[Read more]

She sounds interesting!! Pia is part of the Thabias right?

Ok, I guess I’ll give your blue haired boy a shot…

1) Name: hmm… Kallun Something Strenght

2) Age: Oh like 700 years old I’m sure

3) Career/Role in Story: he’s Maelan (or something) like that chick from a while back mas

4) Personality: sweet but serious and not very enthusiastic about anything. Ever. He’s great though, I’m…[Read more]

Yeah I thought you might like it. I’ll do him here in a little bit

Haha, you’re good! No when you started SE you started a thread to just chat on so you could get to know everyone a little bit. I was just checking it out, and you had said that you know a bunch of random facts about CF and someone else said they did too. That’s when I was like “AHHH I NEED TO KNOW THIS GIRL” so you told me about your…[Read more]

That’s cool!! I almost cried when I found out that lady I love did that for cf, and I thought you would like to hear about that.

The story Ellie is in is entirely made up of my family and friends either by name or personality. Btw, I’m not making fun of Kallun’s name, Julian is 😉 I thought about that after I started that, I don’t…[Read more]

I have no idea what I’m doing so if that doesn’t work please let me…[Read more]

Yeah, sometimes I’ll do that but not often. Did you see all the crazy ways I came up with names? XDD

Emma my friend, I’m one of the few writers I know who puts very little thought into their characters’ names. I pick names based on how the sound, and if they fit the character (an arbitrary judgement, I admit). I do consider the semantics or syllables of the name to an extent, but usually only in the consider of what groups of…[Read more]

I used to be super obsessed with names and their meanings, but I lost interest in it over the past couple of years or so.  I still had a really hard time finding the perfect name for each character, so right now I just focus on the sound of a name and decide whether or not it fits a c…[Read more]

I actually just finished her this morning.

Have fun!

@gbfruitbat @emma-walker @erynne

Anyways, take this lovely man and guess away

@erynne @gbfruitbat @emma-walker

Sounds fun!

For my historical fiction novel, Where Faith Remains, the main characters’ names just came to me without any thought, so I wasn’t thinking about their meanings or anything.

For my MC, Eliza, her full name is Elizabeth Jaeda, which I think is beautiful. Elizabeth means “God is my oath” and Jaeda means “wise” according t…[Read more]

For most of my characters, I look up names that defined them or some of their major traits.

My MC: Cahira:

Gaelic origin

Meaning: Warrior

Khalon:

American-English origin

Meaning: Strong Warrior

Conroy:

Irish-Gaelic origin

Meaning (there are several, but this is the one I’m going for): wise advisor or counsel

The best word t…[Read more]

Cool idea! I choose my names based on a couple things. Is it a pun? Does it have any deep symbolic meaning that can be connected to the themes? Could it be a pun? XD

My favorite names I’ve chosen so far!

King Hakan

Meaning of name: King (Turkish)

Every time I remember his name I have a bit of a laugh because I literally named him…[Read more]

This is will be very helpful for feedback for what I come up with. I will probably end up cooking up names and then giving them meaning after I have fully figured out my cultures.

Sure! Though I often make up my character names.

Right now I have a character who’s rather on the large side and his last name is Piccoli which means “small” XD

This sounds really cool! I will definitely do this, but not tonight. I will have plenty of time tomorrow though! Thanks for the tag

1) Name: Liana

2) Age: 16

3) Career/Role in Story: maybe a sort main-ish character or important side character

4) Personality: seems quiet and soft-spoken but maybe fearless and wild at heart?

5) Would you be friends with that character?: I think so

6) Any other details you may have gotten from the picture: I like her outfit…[Read more]

@erynne 👍🏻 I’ll do him
