Welcome to the Character Castle! This is where you can bring your characters to meet one another (role-play), and perhaps even discover new things about them and their arcs.
A few guidelines:
1. No character may leave the boundaries of the castle, but you can invent any room (library, indoor garden, kitchen, etc.) as it pertains to the role-play. Due to the castle’s unpredictable nature, its rooms may change appearance and shape at will, so don’t worry about making your descriptions completely accurate—just have fun writing.
2. Feel free to chat with other participants to ask about characters and decide which way the story will go! Though do so in a separate space from where you are writing the snippets of the story.
3. You can’t put yourself in the story. As awesome as it would be to meet your own characters, remember that the old green door separates us from the Worlds. (An exception is if you have a character based loosely off yourself in one of your stories. That’s legal. 🙂 )
4. Any character can enter, even if they’re a villain! Simply remember that the magic of the castle makes evil (and good) powers a little unwieldy. Even if the characters do end up making a mess, the castle will clean it up. It might not be too happy about it, though.
5. You may bring in more than one character, if you desire, but preferrably no more than three.
6. Write only one snippet at a time, giving someone else the chance to write the next peice, unless a week+ passes.
That’s all! Have fun, Emberlings.
Sorry I replied late. Life happened, writing happened, everything happened at once. I looked over this notification and I am setting the defined rules for Character Castle 2.5.
1. Any character, hero, villain, or side character, may enter Character Castle 2.5. However, your main characters MUST have a character bio and a world bio. (If you are planning a plot twist and choose to bring a surprise character, you have the option to not make a character bio)
2. If you desire to remove a character, you may remove said character by using Amnesia (make Amnesia kill off, erase, or vanish your character. Choice is yours).
3. There is no limit on the number of characters you can have, AS LONG AS YOU CAN WRITE THEM.
“What do you want with me?” The boy demanded huskily.
“I just saved your life! You’re welco-!”
“Why?!”
The boy continued to point the knife at Arsene. Any other person would have panicked. However, Arsene refused to. Since he had to let his curse escape to the public, he was not just going to stand here and die. Grabbing the knife by the blade, Arsene allowed the nether to consume the weapon. Gradually, the blade perished, becoming nothing more than silver and black dust Arsene absorbed.
“Wow, nice acting skills, ten points.” Arsene started, “You can act out your drama play, when I’m sure nobody trying to KILL you.”
Shifting part of his body, Arsene grabbed the boy by the collar, slinging him across his back. He didn’t care if the boy was around seventeen, he wasn’t just going to leave him here.
“Let me go!” The boy yelled, “I’ll hit your pressure points!”
Running, Arsene retorted. “Wring my neck if you want to, I won’t feel a thing.”
Arsene bolted across hallways, turning paths and evading guards. While he had activated his power to escape, he was disinclined about using the nether ability on people. Sliding, Arsene set the boy down, before smashing a vent open.
“Ain’ no way I’m crawling in there.”
Facing the boy, Arsene added. “You can either go in there or I can knock you out and throw you in there. Either way, I’m getting you away.”
The boy crossed his arms, before saying. “Make me.”
Arsene sighed. “Wish granted.”
Shifting his hand, Arsene grabbed the boy. The black and silver dragon scales appeared with claws, as Arsene made his move. “Is this because of your power? Do you think I want to exploit you?”
The boy struggled, even grabbing another knife to stab Arsene. However, Arsene shifted another section of his body. The knife was now useless. Although the boy was strong, Arsene knew he had no hope of piercing dragon scales with the blade.
As the boy lost consciousness, Arsene finished. “If I wanted your power or anything you had, I would have had it by now.”
The boy then fell unconscious. Sliding him into the vent, Arsene dragged him through, looking for a safety zone.
Though it took awhile, Arsene found an unused compartment. Dropping the boy into a bed, Arsene put a blanket on him. This wasn’t going to be amusing. Sitting down, Arsene thought over everything that happened. He had used his power, forced the boy into a vent, and was currently hiding now.
“Can you ever do the right thing without using such debatable tactics Saga!”
Saga remembered the words of his brother, Sage. It was the last time they exchanged words as brothers.
