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 into the room with the others. They might say a line or two of dialogue or ask a question, but leave it open-ended.

Then someone else will write their own characters reacting to that and so on.

A good rule of thumb is that I don’t write dialogue for anyone else’s characters, since that’s hard to get right. If you absolutely need a short remark like “Yes, no, sure” etc, that’s cool, but try to limit it as much as possible.

As for actions, basically the same. A brief expression or inconsequential action is alright, but only when absolutely required for your characters to keep going.

I hope I was clear enough 🙂 Just write and have fun, don’t worry about it too much, it’s not that big of a deal if you make a mistake 😉

Misu looked doubtful at my question, then seemed to come to a decision. He looked straight at me now, excited.

That feeling deep in the pit of my stomach got stronger. I had felt it before. Not often, and seldom as strong, but I knew what he was even before he confirmed my suspicions.

“I am a servant of the One, The Creator.”  He smiled warmly.  “But, perhaps you know him by a different name in your world?”

I instantly took a step backward, a shiver of both fear and excitement. I let go of my sword but gripped my tassels even tighter. Ferran’s grip on his staff relaxed. He knew who, or rather what, Misu was as well as I did. He had felt it even earlier than I.

“We’re all His servants, but you’re a Messenger, from Adonai,” I stammered. There wasn’t even an instant of doubt that he was telling the truth. “I never saw one before. I heard but–”

I was suddenly both more terrified than I had been in my entire life and curiously joyful. I didn’t need to be afraid of him, he was on our side.

“I mean– I’m not a Seer or a Prophetess, so I suppose it’s only natural,” I said, with a nervous laugh.

Ferran got straight to the point, as he always did, but his tone had changed. He was no longer suspicious or uncertain.

“You’re here because you heard us in trouble, but are you here to get us out of here?” Ferran asked,
