yes please! I’m very lost right now lol. Your impression of the Shrike is spot on – and yes, he’s definitely more dangerous when he’s scared. Is Meira literally made of glass? The idea of a glass warrior is so cool! Also, just be warned, I might pull out the Shrike soon – I eventually want to enter him into the character castle as well. We’ll see what happens, thoughAlrighty! Yay! I’m glad I got a good impression of him, he sounds really fascinating!
Yesy indeed! Meira is literally made of glass and it’s hilarious because she is absolutely the most adorable thing and she wants to fight everyone/everything like a total barbarian.
Ok so a quick rundown is kinda like everybody just appeared here @rose-colored-fancy’s two characters Kongar and Chantara who are both assassins, Sloane who’s a shapeshifter and my other character (Villain’s Castle was going so slow we went ahead and got extra characters instead of just one character one person…XD) and my adorable cute lil’ cinnamon roll Meira. Right now they’re all in this great hall on a wild goose chase LOL. No seriously, they’re chasing a goose with three magical properties that everyone’s trying to guess to win this round otherwise they’ll be stuck in the castle forever until they die. So far they’ve narrowed its first property to either immortality or regeneration (did they already guess its first property, I forgot? XD)
The Hall itself is crowded with “Pawns”; public domain characters that–like the sentient Castle–can be manipulated by any writer at any time to forward the narrative. For the characters themselves, every person should be trying to get as many Pawns on their side as possible to help them in later tests, mazes and puzzles. You can hijack any Pawn’s actions at any time so if someone else’s character–for example– is making a deal with a Pawn, if you write fast you can make that Pawn do something unexpected like betray the character as long as you write the Pawn’s reaction before the other person (I am dying for someone to do that!). So far established Pawn characters are as follows:
Clock-Lady: this ridiculous, boy-crazy, nanny-friend. She’s middle-aged, wears puffy clock-motif cloths and tons of makeup and she’s probably a little touched and very gullible but incredibly friendly and sweet.
Spades’ Card Guy: kinda friendly very thin gentry fellow. No character established beyond that. Cards motif.
A Copy of an old character’s friend (that character has since left the Castle. Actually five posts ago. Castle murdered her 😈)
Oh and a little girl with pink hair.
NO WAIT THEY DID GUESS THE GOOSE’S FIRST PROPERTY IT’S TELEPORTATION!
Ok so Chantara is sly and quiet and is kind of a villain/victim; thin, pale green eyes, shoulder-length black hair, Kongar is a very cheerful creepily bubbly total villain; wiry, green eyes, olive skin(?), Meira ain’t a villain but she’s here because why not, she’s a little Autistic and abrasive but absolutely darling and has a very can-do attitude (even when she can’t); short, silver skin that glows in the dark, purple-pink eyes, long shiny and totally wild inky black hair, Sloane is…I think a dark hero but she has a couple villainous traits, she’s a shapeshifter she’s queer very unpredictable and sassy; (normal form) tall, red hair, mismatched green/blue eyes, light olive skin.
