That’ll be great, I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Thanks so much! It’s actually closer irl–the hair really does look too brown in the picture. Oh, and I didn’t draw it, just so you know. It’s a coloring page, lol.

Someone in the group of people began to move. Slowly, at first, then quicker. He was a tall man, and from what she could see in the plaid light, very handsome. A long coat swayed around his ankles. Behind him trailed another man. shorter and less intelligent looking, his eyes glued to the tall one, following his every motion like a…[Read more]

Excellent character voice is extremely hard to pull off, and so like I do with all hard things in life, I decided to make a game out of it.
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]

Hahaha, he carries knives around with him for a reason. Dealing with venomous snakes actually happens to be his forte xD (Never mind all the times he’s been bitten in order to learn…)
That sounds like a really interesting take on the “empathy” ability!

Isn’t it fun?! One of the joys of being an author…*smiles contentedly*
Ah yess … the joys of being an overlor– er, uh … author 😁
Wow, Ruan hasn’t been in the castle for a minute, and he’s already been bitten by a venomous snake. This is clearly not his day. Poor guy. xD
Yeahhh, he’s not exactly the luckiest guy. I mean, look who he…[Read more]

Lol, I understood the sentence. Um, I’m not real sure. When I say he “feels” others’ emotions I guess I mean more that he senses their emotions. He could look at you and instantly know that you’re afraid. He isn’t necessarily afraid himself, at least not in the same way. That’s how a perfect Empath works. Tullian is still in training,…[Read more]

XD The fourth wall is made to be broken! I wonder how the term “fourth wall” came around.
Oohhh, I actually know this! It comes from plays. Whenever characters were in a room, it was open on one side so the audience could see them. However, the characters only “see” the fourth wall of the room, which separates the audience from the cha…[Read more]

No worries, the Castle has a great personality xD I don’t think it needs to do anything to Erik to be entertained by him, so I will leave him to his own devices until an opportunity for interaction arises xD

Well, not a whole lot XD
@inkhorn , @merieshenanigans , and me dropped in our characters. They’ve all been hanging around, kinda talking to each other a bit. Merie’s character is off in another room but all the others are together in a library.
The castle just turned off the lights and sent snakes at them. We’re still just…[Read more]

I’m currently just referring to it as the “Gilded Blood” trilogy, after the first book. I need some collective title but I can’t come up with anything XD
Gilded blood isn’t a bad name for a series, and many people just name their first book’s title the series title.
Hi! It’s nice to meet you!
Likewise. 🙂

And the quota for blatant fourth-wall-breaking has been filled for the week XD Somehow we end up shattering the fourth wall with quite alarming frequency, it’s great XDAthena
This was the oddest book I’d ever read. I scowled at it and turned the page.

Dear me, things do progress rather quickly here. I guess I’ll wait and see what the other characters do first… xD

XD I’ll just go ahead and apologize for whatever Conroy is going to say in return. XD
I love how half of the interactions in any given character castle are like “I’m sorry I don’t control them! They’re awful and not a reflection of me as a person please forgive me!” XD
As it should be, it means they’re interesting characters XD

Thank you! xD
I’m quite fond of your characters as well; Ophelia especially already has my heart. She’s a type of character I love to read about but really don’t see often enough!
Very well, in that case I shall just drop my boy in now… and leave him to his own devices until someone comes find him…[Read more]

Rose replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 – Room B in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years, 1 month ago
I think that I like them because of how they differed from each other in their personalities. They balanced each other out. Individually, I enjoyed Ophelia because of her innocence which is really quite funny, and the kind of calming presence that she brings. Athena is a little harder to connect to, but, like Athena, I have people in my…

I love Ophelia and Athena already (Ophelia especially)!
That’s awesome! I have to ask, what made you like them? I’m having trouble getting attached to them, especially Athena XD
I’ve never joined a roleplay as detailed and descriptive as this kind, so… xD Forgive me for feeling slightly daunted. I will do my best to kee…

He’s fifteen actually, but he’s good at fooling people into thinking he’s very mature for his age

That’s an awesome start! I’m going to introduce Ophelia and Athena!
Athena
It was getting dim, closer to twilight, and we weren’t even on the campus yet. Ophelia wasn’t exactly helping.
She ran after me, her heels tapping on the cobblestones, purse swinging from her shoulder. Although she was taller than I was, she was always slower.…[Read more]
