Um, I’m not sure how many of you are still on here, but I’m just going to jump in and ask a few questions.

Are we all writing from first person, or can we use whichever perspective we like for each character? Early on someone mentioned using different fonts/text for each character if each character is in first person, so I’m just wondering if we…[Read more]

MY PLANET

Name: Rithagua

So, the whole planet is one big land mass. There is no water on the surface of the planet at all. How do the inhabitants survive? The core of the planet is not hot material like earth. It is composed of water :). The civilizations over time have developed unique ways of acquiring the water for use by all,…[Read more]

Character ONE:

Name: Aleyda Wilgefortis

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Appearance: Dark brown hair that hangs below her shoulders, not much past that. Dark brown eyes, etc. (I didn’t really develop this, can expand on it later

Weapons: Something like Karate/Tai-Kwon-Do as well as a bow and arrow.

Clothing: Something like this, but m…[Read more]

Nice brainstorming y’all! (I’ve been reading it all even though I haven’t actually been posting, lol). And I really stink at worldbuilding, so Aleck’s planet is going to be pretty bland and stuff. :/ Good thing he’ll mostly be on The Resilience!!

@writergirl101,

Nuts. But I get it! Thx for starting this; it’s been great fun.

@melodyjoy,

All right, here’s a sketch of The Resilience. I was thinking that we could have the amphitheater/arena like a bubble inside of the ship, so that’s what this shows. Let me know if there’s anything I should change or add!

YAY!!! I did it! Thanks, @melodyjoy  I am so proud now **cheeky little smiley face**

I recently figured the blue line out. You copy and paste what the person said from their post and then put the cursor at the beginning and press the two quotation marks at the top next to bold and italics

Thank you! Did I do it?!?

So I looked up the meaning for Effervescence, and the first definition to come up was…[Read more]

@melodyjoy @wingiby-iggiby

The Despondence IV. 

Princess Nyoctora (maybe not this one)

The Resilience /The Effervescence 

I’ll find a few other names  and maybe sketch a picture for the ship…do you have any reference in mind, like maybe from Star Wars or some other sci-fi?

@melodyjoy

YES!!! Thank you! I’m so glad y’all like it! I, personally, have to admit I was rather proud of it myself (I don’t know why, for goodness’ sake, it’s not that good). And yeah, when I watched The Phantom Menace, I was like, ANI! Seriously? This cute little pod-racer becomes Darth Vader? Nah.

“The kid” sorta has an ominous ring to it if…[Read more]

@melodyjoy

That sounds great! I didn’t even think of that — with a drawing we all know what it looks like.

@joelle-stone

@melodyjoy

Yay! I’m glad you like the name idea. It came to me suddenly, since I like Andor as a name as well, and was wondering if we could possibly incorporate it. My sister pointed out that it would make a good name for a place too; so maybe he could name a city or country or planet after himself. 😛 Villains are rather…[Read more]

@melodyjoy

I am leaning toward Neromiro Drake, just cause it sounds cool 😛 I also think ships might be, I don’t know, more realistic — even thought this whole thing is totally UN-realistic, lol. And I guess I couldn’t help thinking STAR WARS, and portals just don’t seem to fit the American Western type world I’m building.

And I totally don’t…[Read more]

@melodyjoy

If you win you get to lead the branch. You become the ultimate leader of the whole thing, that’s at least the impression I got.

Maybe the characters all play together, and there will be eight champions, and the Judges put them in the branch they think best suits them.

================

I seriously think that we need more than one p…[Read more]

@melodyjoy

Sorry if it was unclear!

I was referring to an earlier post. So far there are eight branches of the government, and each has a separate Culling. This might not work properly if we want out characters together though…

Also, to answer a few other questions, one of the three Judges and his/her supporters are controlling the game and…[Read more]

@melodyjoy,

I love your ideas! And I think your brainstorming is very helpful. I haven’t come up with anything as of yet!! 😛 As for the separate doc, that’s a wonderful idea!

Maybe a spy for her country of Rushka. She’s spying on Sinoraus for the Rushkans. There’s a lot of border disputes and stuff, right? So maybe that’s why she’s there, and…[Read more]
