WINGIBY!!!! I MISSED YOU WELCOME BACK!!! *Gives you a massive hug*
what do y’all think of Brooke popping some characters in?
Limits are for the weak!!! Why limit happiness??? The more the more chaotic!! LOL, this will be great!
Unfortunately I kicked Liorah out of the Castle because she was hogging it and I needed to develop some others. Also, she was bullying Lorcan. You know that little gremlin, this needs no explanations.
Aydin (Rose’s): Brand new character so we don’t know a whole lot about him, but he’s pretty tall (I think), with longish brown hair and muddy greenish-brown eyes. He’s had a very traumatic past, and his (left?) hand is paralyzed, although no one really knows that yet.
Pretty close! He’s not that tall, probably shorter than the others. (About 5’10”) Also, he’s 19 but probably looks older.
Actually, his right hand. He was righthanded. (Yep, that was intentional for more problems) (So if you want any of the characters to figure that out, they’ll probably notice his knife is on his right side instead of his left and other stuff like that)
Personality-wise, he’s… panicking. All the time. He’s trying to hide it but he isn’t doing great. Besides that, he’s secretly a very kind person, he’s just very jaded and messed-up.
Besides his paralyzed hand, he has PTSD and has hallucinations pretty often. He’s trying to hide it and once again, it’s proving tricky.
He’s from the same world as Liorah. (They do (unfortunately) know each other.) Unlike the other characters, who I put in before the start of book 1 so they were still relatively new and shiny, he’s from the beginning of book 3, so he has two books worth of trauma besides his backstory. (He’s at his character arc rock bottom and it shows XD)
(Actually, I might have told you about him earlier!)
I can’t wait to meet your characters!!
*screams* AAAAH THAT’S SOOO EVIL!!!!! Oh my…
Exactly the reaction I was hoping for. *Nods in evil writer satisfaction.*
NOOOO THAT’S TOO EVIL
Music to my ears XD
Especially since Misu and Basil are like the two least violent characters in my whole story :`)
Same! Weirdly enough, Aydin is probably one of the characters with the most objections against violence.
(Liorah has the least. Every day, she wakes up and chooses violence.)
Idk about you guys, but I’m enjoying the relatively low stakes character interactions. I’m all for raising the stakes, but that’s a little bit dark even for me lol. It’s a good idea, though. I just don’t want to force either of them to hurt another character in the group
Okay, so you have a very valid point, especially if Brooke is going to drop in another character as well. I suggest we at least get them through the snowstorm and then we can do another bit of group bonding before tearing their thin friendships apart *cackles manically then realizes this might mean Aydin betrays Niarok and I’m not emotionally ready for that.* Actually, yikes.
Also, is this a new supernatural threat? This might be a good time for Misu to start challenging Aydin’s beliefs lol
It could be! It’s Lord Castle and it’s… kinda supernatural? Do with that what you please!
So, you probably have no clue what we’re scheming! Let me enlighten you on our nefarious plotting!!
So, we’re currently freezing the characters to death besides causing mental breakdowns left and right to spice it up a little. It’s brilliant so far.
Sometime after that, we’re planning this monstrosity:
Ohhh, I had a gloriously evil idea!!! So, it needs to be bad enough that it can’t be easily excused and needs to have consequences on the others as well as each of the characters individually.
So, I suggest! What if the Castle forces them to injure one of the others or else… something happens. Idk, we don’t need to have it come to that even if they refuse, but it needs to be a threat sufficient to make them seriously consider it.
(I’m deeply sorry to admit it was my idea because I live for the drama)
Remember the almost-death scenes with Dancrow, Liorah and Gavril? It’s something like that.
