“We’re all His servants, but you’re a Messenger, from Adonai,” Liorah stammered.  Misu nodded, smiling warmly.  “I never saw one before. I heard but–” she gripped her tassels, eyes shining.  “I mean– I’m not a Seer or a Prophetess, so I suppose it’s only natural.” She laughed nervously.  Misu smiled uncomfortably.  The poor girl was clearly terrif…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy @this-is-not-an-alien I’m entering a character into the villain castle 🙂

New character: the Shrike

The air snapped.  Crackled.  The atmosphere pulsed and throbbed as if in the throes of a searing wound.  Blazing fractals of light tore across the room, twisting and falling like so many shards of broken glass.  A metallic scr…[Read more]

Is that pretty much what I’m supposed to use to write your characters?

Yep, pretty much, but as Calidris said, you don’t really write other people’s characters, you just write your characters’ reactions.

So, what you would probably write now is your characters arriving in the castle, figuring out they’re trapped, and stumbling i…[Read more]

“We’ll be fine a lot faster if we’re all honest with each other. What are you?”

Misu froze, his fingers still firmly entrenched behind the dog’s ears.  Not this question. He sighed.  Anything but this question.  Of course he would answer honestly.  And yet there was a fine line between honesty and oversharing, a line that he had unfortunate…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

Liorah is extremely argumentative and Ferran is shy, which usually comes off as rude. XD They say some pretty offensive things sometimes

Is that pretty much what I’m supposed to use to write your characters?

@noah-cochran

Machicolations!!  

You got it! That’s just right! Which character (s) are you going to put in? The limit is two characters per person at a time (More than that is really hard to manage 🙂 )

If you’re having trouble choosing, pick those that don’t particularly like each other. That’s always way more fun to write XD

I can’t wait…[Read more]

@noah-cochran of course!  With regards to other people’s characters, you write the interaction from your character’s pov, then the person who has the character your character is talking to would write their character’s response.  So it’s not so much writing other people’s characters, but more of your character interacts with other people’s c…[Read more]

@calidris

I knew I was missing something, thanks pal. 🙂 Writing other people’s characters sound like fun, maybe I’ll try that tomorrow.

@noah-cochran  You’re doing good, except you need to find a way to get your characters inside the castle so they can start hanging out with ours!  The castle is really just a series of never ending rooms and settings that challenge the characters (I think?  @rose-colored-fancy is this right?) I actually haven’t been here for that long, so I’m st…[Read more]

Hugon is sardonic, sarcastic, and cynical. Tristan strives to be of high honor and dignity, and he is gregarious. Maven is a roguish jokester, but also a good friend to Tristan.

Hugon:

The sky was coated in a blanket of red from the setting sun as Hugon reigned in his gelding. He had reached his destination. Rising up from the hilly plain was a…[Read more]

Liorah shifted uncomfortably, her fingers threading around the tassels at the corners of her shirt.  She frowned.  “Don’t think so.”

“Oh,” Misu bit his lip.  This is awkward.  He felt Liorah’s wary eyes burning right through him, slowly withering his resolve.  How it would feel to be trusted just this once…

“You’re much too free with your word…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

You pulled me in here, so explain to me how this works again?

Pick one of your characters, write a short description for them, and then write a short piece in which they stumble into the castle in some way, then they can start interacting with the others!

This doesn’t need to be fancy, my characters usually enter a cave because…[Read more]

@calidris

how many characters can we introduce?  I think I’m sticking with Misu for now, but depending on how things go, I might introduce a couple more

You can have two in at a time, but you can switch them out as often as you’d like! I’m actually going to swap out Liorah and Ferran pretty soon. I have two characters I want to develop before a re…[Read more]

You pulled me in here, so explain to me how this works again? 🙂

Misu hesitantly took a step towards the man – at least so he assumed.  Evidently a soldier of some sort, his body and face were so obscured by a mixture of heavy armor, tactical gear, and what looked to be some form of cybernetics that it was nearly impossible to determine who, or what exactly he might be (*feel free to let me know if any of this…[Read more]

Klein left the rations on the ground. A lot had happened to this group before he arrived. They probably had some reservations about him. Taking a pocket sandwich and beef snack, he walked to the basin.

The grid pattern worried him. It was too different from everything he had seen to be good. The squares were about two foot by two foot. Striking…[Read more]

@rose-colored fancy Misu has a rather interesting personality, so feel free to give your characters rather interesting responses.  You’re not going to hurt my feelings lol (although you might hurt his)

Misu startled at the sight of the two warriors – a young girl and a boy.  He smiled uneasily and sheathed his swords.

“You can call me Misu, if you wish.  Most people do.  Some people call me an idiot, but that isn’t at all to my liking.  I came to this room here because I thought I heard people in trouble, but you two look like you’re doing fin…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

LOL!! XD

@calidris

I am so hopelessly confused here lol.  Are we all building off of the same story?  What’s the plot so far?  Where are the characters in the Castle?

Don’t worry about it XD Starting castles is a learning curve XD Well, we aren’t actually writing a story, our characters are just running around reacting to s…[Read more]
