I’M ALL FOR THE BETA-READS BRING THEM ON!!!!!!!!!!!

Yayy!!! *Puts you on the list for a future draft*

@calidris

What’s the current character limit in here?  I have a couple of characters I want to develop more, but I’m not ready to pull Misu out quite yet…

It’s cool! I don’t know how many characters we’re at but I don’t care! Society is imploding! Drop in the character! (I need to go to bed, don’t mind me. XD)

Also, does anyone in here do this thing where they have an interesting character they really like from an existing work who doesn’t get developed that much, so you just steal uhhh create a new character who just happens to have the same personality, character flaws, and appearance so you can mess with their development and kind of make them your own?  This is something I actually do rather frequently *side eyes Misu* and I may have a character that I may or may not have stolen from one of my existing favorites today so I thought I would ask before I stick him in here lol

As I said before, it’s all cool with me! He sounds like fun! Do it!

Yay, I’m glad Quin is tugging on your heart! Do you have any thoughts about Qatar? (what are your impressions of him, is a better question)

I have thoughts! I have lots of thoughts but the first one is… precious sweetheart if anybody hurts him I’ll hurt them!! I love him 🥰

Okay, for some more helpful observations. I can see he’s really struggling to come to terms with his disability. He’s struggling to see what his future will be and he feels that he’s lost all his potential and skills. I know he has it in him, he’s just scared to fail so he doesn’t commit to anything.

Also, I feel like Qatar babies him a little, reinforcing his view that he’s ‘useless’. Qatar does it with the best of intentions, but I don’t know if it’s helping him.

He’s a really kind person, kind of shy and insecure, and that’s even more reinforced by everyone’s reaction to his disability and he isn’t confident enough to push through it.

 

I’m going to write a few bare details about my new character because I’m so incredibly excited to drop him in!

He’s about nineteen, but he looks a couple years older. He usually looks kind of shy, but he has a tendency to switch attitudes quickly, almost seeming like a different person when he needs to.

He has pretty severe PTSD from several things I’m not going to go into because he’d hate me for that. He’s always on high alert and has bad nightmares and insomnia. He tends to have hallucinations, both auditory and visual, but he knows he does so he doesn’t trust himself. Ever. (Which is also reinforced by a history of emotional manipulation but let’s not get into that.)

He’s about 5’10”, brown skin and long-ish dark hair. He’s the only character besides Sahar who is described as good-looking by more than one person on more than one occasion. (Do with that what you will XD)

At this point, he recently recovered from… events that involved him getting pretty seriously ill, so he still looks it. He has a recent scar on his right forearm, and as I mentioned before, his right hand is completely paralyzed. He hasn’t come to terms with it yet.

I can’t wait to introduce him! *Excited squealing*
