thanks!  Maybe some day you will play it

Totally! I don’t play video games often, but every year around exams I get a craving for playing them XD (I don’t know why either, but it happens every single year XD)

Honestly, I truly believe that the setting all came about through God.  For a while, I was trying to write this cringy edgy LoTR knockoff story, and I started to feel really frustrated with it because no matter what I did to it, it couldn’t fit together.  I also felt that I wasn’t really reflecting God through my writing, but I didn’t know how to do that.  I just turned the whole thing over to him, and that was really not only a turning part in my story, but also in my faith    Ngl naming is one of the most important parts of my story lol.  I think I also prayed about Sasha’s name, because I couldn’t find one that seemed to fit him!

That’s awesome! I started my story without much faith in it, but as I kept writing I found it needed to be in the story, so it’s much stronger in the second draft.

Also, I have an idea where every 24 hours the Veil has a sort of “reset” where the effects of the experiment are repeated and reality is bent again (maybe to try to undo the damage?), so the player will have to get Saskia into designated safe places before this happens

That’s a cool concept! That would also add some time pressure! That’s really cool!

I really like the premise of your story!  I love character driven stories, and I think that you did a great job of reflecting how the different characters’ personalities have been influenced by their histories.  Like just by looking at Liorah, I never would have guessed that her extreme sassiness/aggressiveness is a result of childhood trauma, but know that I know, it totally makes sense!  It’s already pretty bad in the character castle though, so I can’t imagine how bad it is in canon!

Thank you! Yep, basically all my characters are traumatized XD (Except Acyn and Sahar actually! At least… at this point XD)

Also fun! Ferran’s extreme responsibility and constant urge to take care of everyone is also a trauma reaction! XD His is somewhat different from Liorah’s, which is what makes them fit together well XD

And how bad it is in canon… Approximately “destroying all her relationships, estranging her from everyone, and making her generally miserable” bad to the point that she can barely function at its worst part! (I enjoy tormenting my characters too much XD)

@irishcelticredflowercrown

Yeah Britain is to blame at the end of the day.

Yes. Always yes, no matter what the context XD LOL, there’s a reason most movie villains have British accents XD (Although British accents sound really cool actually XD)

That is such a good idea! Gavril and Lorcan hmm – I can see an unlikely friendship starting there, so go for it! I think your characters just really click with mine hehe XD, its just natural!

LOL, I think they’ll be hilarious together! I won’t put him in now since I already had him in the castle earlier, but I might put him in soon as most of the characters are different, and I kinda wanna see what he’s like without constantly having to watch Liorah XD Oh, he’ll be so worried about Riure! (She’s a character who was in earlier and he basically adopted her and it was just the most adorable thing ever XD)

Oh-ho – he better not be like Liorah, my dear Lorcan has endured enough truama from her lollll, I doubt his pride will ever be the same again

LOL, That’s Liorah’s goal in life! (*very affectionately* Sassy little brat!)

I might introduce another character maybe. Not sure which one. But I am only considering it because our characters have such GOOD chemistry. I am having so much funnn!

They do! That would be awesome! If you’re doubting between characters, you can just write one or two sentences about them and we could have a vote? I’ve done that in the other castles and it works well! (because I always have too many characters to introduce XD)

Also random thought – wouldn’t it be cool if two of our characters fell in love? I’m just putting that out there XD

Ooh, cool idea! I wouldn’t know who though, most of my characters are either already planned to get relationships or aren’t planning to get in them anytime soonXD

Still, if it works out that way, it could be cool!

@emily-waldorf

*Gives you a massive hug but Cathy is still hugging you so I hug both of you* XD Hello! It’s awesome to have you!! Ooh, your character sounds so cool!!!

Ehhh, there’s rose-colored-fancy’s Sahar literal-ray-of-sunshine and Acyn temperament-of-a-wet-cat, irishcelticredflowercrown’s theatrical dramaqueen assassin Lorcan, noah-cochran’s probably-not-human-and-really-smug-about-it thief Hugon, rusted-knight’s probably-has-the-most-braincells-of-the-group-cos-he-stays-out-of-their-spats super-soldier Klein calidris’s adorable lil ADHD literal angel Misu aaaaand I think that get everybody.

Yep! That’s… accurate XD I have two other characters in the castle rn, Liorah, a sassy desert princess who tries to fight everything, (constantly), and Ferran, who is very tired and trying to mom-friend everyone XD

But I’m going to take them out in the next post, so you can pretty much ignore them!

What’s your character’s name? What’s he like?

I have character interviews of Sahar and Acyn on the… previous page I think? Otherwise, I’d be happy to answer any other questions!
