Khalon has cultivated the talent of knowing when to be quiet from the time spent with Cahira, my obliviously arrogant, emotional- and mental-wreck of a character. Had he not cultivated that talent, he would have been dead or at least an outcast.

It’s an important skill XD Aydin is one of my few characters who has it, he’s used to…[Read more]

Aydin

I was so done with Liorah. I was so completely done with her, she just insisted on being as difficult as possible in every given situation.

“Could you at least try to be nice?” I asked, trying to keep my voice down but rather failing. People were staring and I hated being stared at.

“It’s not just him that’s asking you that. We’re all…[Read more]

@calidris

that was actually completely unintentional!  I wasn’t even thinking about that when I wrote it, but oh my gosh it actually makes sense

You’re still responsible for breaking my heart 😭😭

Huh.  When I was first thinking about it, I thought he and Skia would both feel awful about it, because they’re no longer “useful.”  But that’s act…

@inkhorn

That’s hilarious that you names one of your characters Khalon. And I would love to have Khalon interact with Aydin. I would like to see how he would react to a traumatized ex-assassin.

Awesome! I’d love to see their reactions too XD Do you want me to make Aydin make the first move or do you have any ideas? (It’s out of character for A…[Read more]

@inkhorn

Okay so something really funny happened XD I was naming a minor side character (He’s just there to fill a background role, he’s barely a character XD) and I was running through a list of names and picked Khalon because it sounded cool.

I had the faint idea that it sounded familiar but didn’t remember about your character until a while…[Read more]

@inkhorn

Just wondering, but how did he and Liorah begin dating? They’re polar opposites! I feel bad for anyone who was there while they were dating. That must have been scary. XD

Oh, my goodness, no. They’re NOT dating, they have never dated. XD That’s hilarious though. Funny, that was my original plan but then I actually wrote them and Liorah to…[Read more]

@inkhorn

Wait, Aydin is a selfish, sarcastic, unlikeable, deceitful person?! Why did you have to make him so lovable? This side of him is going to break my heart! It’ll also really annoy Khalon.  I think he was hoping that anyone who succeeds at keeping an angry person from beating up someone else was a nice guy.

It’s not that big of a change ac…[Read more]

@inkhorn

Hmmm…it was a little hard following your idea, but when I understood what you said, I have one thing to say, “WHY?!”

Ay, sorry, it was a bit hard to explain XD

Though I do understand (breaks my heart to say so, “Don’t hate me for this Aydin!”), I have thought of having Cahira (MC) make the ultimate sacrifice to really rub her character ar…

@emily-waldorf

and as for Aydin trauma…poor Aydin. :'( It was well written, though, and really made you hate his father.

Thank you! Yes, I l o a t h e that man with my entire heart XD He’s probably the character I hate the most, ever.

@inkhorn

I decided to take your advice and give Khalon something he didn’t expect, his horn.

That was a cool cho…[Read more]

@inkhorn No no! It just makes it interesting more when people jump in. 😉

I think so. I think it will be temperature. You know, anger is hot but rage is cold, yadda yadda. 🙂

Liorah

The tall man with white hair and dark clothes almost hurled Quin out of the way. He was sent reeling halfway across the room.

My eyes widened in shock. Why would anyone–

He grinned. Actually grinned.

I was going to wipe that smug expression off his face and plaster it on the ceiling.

I peered after Quin and tried to step past the m…[Read more]

@rosecoloredfancy

laughs in standalone novel

But seriously though, that is an entire mood

Also, the idea of giving/taking powers is great!  Basil and Saskia are both super powered, and you know how op Sasha is lol

Although, his main powers are already gone by proxy of no longer having access to the Veil…I wonder how he’ll react to having…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf

OOOOOHHH this is gonna be FUN! XD haha you definitely got Evie right. At least where she is in life right now…

She’s 5’6, long brown hair, and brown, slightly hazel, eyes. Her hair is down right now, and she’s wearing a tattered muddy brown training dress, which is regrettable since she didn’t bring anything to change into……[Read more]

@inkhorn

LOL I’m literally loving Khalon soooo much! XD

Evie

“What, no death threats?” the man retorted as soon as Evie had finished her sentence.

She flinched.

Thanks, Yila. Thanks soooo much.

Should she just walk away, or…

Khalon shook his head and stood. “I’m sorry. That was stupid. Gut reaction. My name is Khalon. It’s a pleasure…[Read more]

Niarok

“I’m a doctor. I didn’t mean to stare. I’m sorry. Although if you ever want to tell me how you got them, I’d be happy to hear the story.”

Liorah looked entirely taken aback by Niarok’s answer, as if she’d expected a death threat or a challenge. But then she shrugged and grinned.

“There’s not much to tell, it was Aydin’s girlfriend– I mea…[Read more]

@calidris

yep, and it’s always the same character, too.  You know how there’s that one character that you feel sorry for, and you have to give them trauma and you just feel so sad seeing them all hurt and alone?  But then it’s all the more satisfying to heal them and watch as they grow and develop and finally reach their happy ending?  I feel lik…

@inkhorn

As for Khalon’s backstory, well it is woefully underdeveloped. All I know is that it’s not tragic, all of his family is alive, he’s an only child, and his parents are great. I might change some of those though.

Oh, glory be, we have one character who isn’t miserable!! *happy dance*

That’ll be fun to give or take powers. It’ll put Khalo…

@rose-colored-fancy I second this: Acyn is one of your best characters and there is nothing anyone can say to convince me otherwise!  He’s genuinely annoying but in the most oblivious, hilarious way and I love him for it lol

Also, Basil was isolated in a lab for all of his life.  Skia was stuck in a lab too but at least she had other subjects t…[Read more]
