@kate-flournoy Your Joe looks great, though I don’t know if he’s accurate 😉 Nice job! 😀

Here are a couple more characters! Took me a while to write ’em out because I had to get permission from their co-creator, plus she had to describe her character XD Anyways, I hope someone takes enough interest in them to give them a go!

Amrei: a young…[Read more]

@i-j-anderson I do have one character I mentioned awhile back but no one did. I’m quite curious about her, actually, but if everyone has skipped it because she is boring, then feel free to ignore it too. 😉

Kathryn: A slip of a girl, she is a scientist but looks like she would be better suited for the role of a teacher. She is 22, but looks…[Read more]

@i-j-anderson I do have more character I’d like to share eventually 😉

Multiple themes… this is for a seven book series I’m going to write one of these days, so far as I’ve figured it out.

Primary theme:

Love

Major themes:

Hope
Freedom

Minor themes: These are basically the subthemes of my primary and major themes

Love
Forgiveness
Courage
Sacrifice

Hope…[Read more]

@Aratrea No, they aren’t related. At least, they weren’t… Though that could be quite fun to mess with. Probably not, though. The word count is already crossing 140,000 as it is, so I’ve no room for adding things. 🙁

@aratrea Yes, they hold to the same views, yet act according to slightly different EiL.

@aysia-serene But you won’t know if you don’t try it 😉 I loved your “loose anime style” that you did for, Taren, was it? It was so cute! 😀

1. Lathen: A Volandum healer and follower of the Prince. His EiL is that it is man’s relationship with the Prince that defines his worth, not a name or power or blood or anything else. He helps tend Ethaniel toward the end of the book, as Ethaniel working on consolidating his own recent revelation that any kind of name is meaningless without the…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Gair IS NOT a minor character. Don’t you dare cut his role in any way.

I’m going to go with Jagger in Fidelyon. He’s the… well, the side-kick, I guess (don’t tell him I said that; he’d not forgive me).

Anyway, he’d follow the first type, because his arc mirrors Ethaniel’s. While Ethaniel starts with not having a name, Jagger actually has a disgraced name. But while Ethaniel places importance in gaining a name and…[Read more]

@aratrea

One fun way of connecting major characters is to give them the same goal, but different EiLs so that they are in constant tension about how to do something or what is the best way to get something done. They could be friends or they could be antagonists, but either way one can get quite a bit thematic depth between the interaction of…[Read more]

How does Bible Bee actually work? I’m a Bible Quizzer, and so far I’ve word-for-word memorised about half of the book of Luke this year which has been great 🙂

@i-j-anderson We are unworthy! That’s amazing! I don’t I’ve ever really thought of trying white onto black paper, but now that I’ve seen this… I still won’t try because there is no conceivable way I will make it look 2/8ths that good! (I could possibly do 1/8th, but there’s not much point to that, is there? 😛 XD)

@Aratrea Got it. He does tempt Ethaniel with the idea of giving him a name, but it is more trying to give what he thinks Ethaniel wants than trying to convince him to his own point of view.

@emma-flournoy Yee-ap! But I’m not constantly thinking about it/stressing over it/being super excited now that they’re submitted, so I think I can relax for the time being 😉

@Kina-Lamb. Gosh I’m late. But I offer you a hearty welcome to the Kingdom nonetheless! I too have a younger sister lurking behind my shoulder who I hope will sit down and make her own account someday.

Also, random fact about me: we almost have the same camera. Mine’s a D3300 Nikon 🙂 I checked out your site; nice work! If you’re interested you…[Read more]

@Aratrea

My main villain is a former friend of Ethaniel’s. They were messengers together and developed a strong bond because Ethaniel has no name and Keros (who ends up becoming the villain) was of mixed blood (Ethaniel actually helped and cared for Keros when Keros first joined the force. He’s the main reason Keros stayed). Keros’s EiL is that a…[Read more]

@aratrea Alright. A foil, then. And yes, Ard is very interesting. I still am working on figuring out the end of his arc…
