Wow! This sounds fun…
What character should I enter? A villain? Ooh! I have a new character, Hesh Conlannen, I am not sure if he is a villain or not… all I know is that he intrigues me.
Hesh Conlannen: Master thief. Tall and thin with a crooked nose and an eye patch. Currently very undeveloped. I think he is just entering the castle through the guardhouse… that should surprise the guards.
We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good on, eh?
-The DoctorMay 4, 2022 at 12:46 pm #110378@e-m-trepke Maybe you could have your character meet mine.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
May 4, 2022 at 1:06 pm #110382Hmmm… that could be fun! Which of your characters? From what I understand, your characters are sci-fi (is this correct?). This would make the meeting even more interesting, since Hesh is from a fantasy world!

#ProtectSebMay 4, 2022 at 1:31 pm #110385@e-m-trepke Hmm. How about both? They’d probably be wandering it together, trying to figure out what they’re doing here. And then your character drops in on them (figuratively or literally, if you’d like)

May 4, 2022 at 1:35 pm #110386Corvina
These halls went on forever.
An endless void of rooms, none of which the girl or her little group was in. Corvina sighed, sending a strand of her black hair flying. This was not going near as quick as she had hoped. She glanced at the window. The sun had gone down now and the stars were shining. She could easily transform, using the cover of darkness to fly over the castle.
Scan the grounds in search of her target.
She grinned. Definitely be easier.
But, she doubted the girl was outside. Things were never that easy. Still, she could transform and fly inside. At least then she wouldn’t have to walk. Flying was so much quicker. And so much more…freeing.
It was one of the only things in life that made her feel alive.
Without so much as a blink, the human-form of Corvina was gone, leaving a raven in its place. She stretched her wings, her beak opening in a grin. Ahh, how good it felt, being in this form.
Knowing she could fly out the window. Into the unknown space. Never to return.
Her thought snapped to reality.
If only.
If only she didn’t have to return. But no. Invisible strings held her back. Kept her from ever flying too far. She cawed in anger and preened her feathers, trying to get rid of those thoughts. She had better things to do then dwell on things she couldn’t fix.
Like finding Arabella.
After all, finding Arabella would change everything.
She flew down the hall, peeking through open doors. No sign of her target. Of course.
She stopped at the end of the hall, where a lone door stood and transformed back into her human self. This was getting annoying.
She opened the door, expecting yet another failure. Another empty room. But…to her surprised, this room was not empty.
In the center, stood a young girl. She was only a few years younger than Corvina, about the age of Arabella, the one Corvina was looking for. But this was not Arabella.
This girl’s eyes glowed a brilliant purple, but she did not look powerful.
Quite the opposite.
She wore wolf skin. A simple dress, really, and a necklace of wolf teeth with a matching bracelet. She stood, still as stone, staring at Corvina as though she were the devil herself.
Or…worse.
Corvina cocked an eyebrow. “Well, this is unexpected.”

#ProtectSebMay 4, 2022 at 1:49 pm #110387@godlyfantasy12 It’s cool how your villain character can turn into a raven!

#ProtectSebMay 4, 2022 at 2:08 pm #110390Well, I am not quite sure. Probably in his 30’s because it would take him some time to acquire all of his skills.

-The DoctorMay 4, 2022 at 2:08 pm #110391Maybe I should introduce my characters now:
Feather and Rinzler
“Where are we? This looks nothing like the Sanctuary.” Feather looked around. The murals on the walls were totally different than the ones she was used to seeing, and rather than the Library Tower stretching into the sky, there was a large castle that looked like it’d been cobbled together from multiple story universes.
Rinzler shrugged. “I don’t know. You brought us here.”
“I did not.” Feather stiffened. “Look, there’s some sort of guardhouse over there. Maybe there’s someone we can talk to.”
As they approached, they did see somebody, but he didn’t look like a guard. He was tall and thin.
“Hello? Sir?” Feather called to him. “Are you from here? What is this place?”
Rinzler readied his discs, just in case the new character was in for a fight. (If you look at the picture, those two discs in the character’s hands can be used like throwing stars.)
@e-m-trepke I had them meet your character! You write the next part because I don’t know what he’ll say to them.Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
May 4, 2022 at 2:13 pm #110392@e-m-trepke gotcha. U can have him be young too, if u want (if ur trying to develop a Charrie this is advice) there are tons of developed young thieves. Ranging from Kleptos (which are fun cuz they literally can’t control themselves sometimes so they get into all sorts of situations) to just kids who have a knack or sticky fingers
and then u can go the adult mastermind thief route like ur doing!

#ProtectSebMay 4, 2022 at 2:14 pm #110393Yes! He is probably working on a job in the castle, but as he is a little tired that day, he doesn’t notice them enter the —treasure chamber maybe?— and rappels from the ceiling right in front of them! (Cue ridiculous + cheesy lines) (“Ummmmmm…. Sorry to drop in on you like this… I have a perfectly reasonable reason for hanging from the ceiling… Smell this chlorofo— I mean perfume. Goodbye.”)

#ProtectSebMay 4, 2022 at 2:17 pm #110395@e-m-trepke ok if that’s ur characters personality I have a feeling he’s going to get along GREAT with my character Jocelyn 🤣

#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSebMay 4, 2022 at 2:18 pm #110396Yes! The main reason he is not very developed yet is because I made him up last week…
Speaking of thieves… have you read A Face Like Glass by Francis Hardinge? The character called the Kleptomancer is a pretty cool thief.
