Hmmm. I feel like I’ve been pretty intentional with creating characters that have different hair/eye colors, but I haven’t strayed outside the realm of browns/blonds/reds, etc. Like you wouldn’t see any of my characters with pink or blue or green hair, although maybe I should do that sometime to spice things up. Brown, or different shades of…[Read more]

Chase Duke

Chase shrugged.

“I guess. When something doesn’t go the way it should I…disappear for maybe a day to a week.”

@scoutfinch180

Uh…depends on your definition of “better”.

Yes, I would like that.

His accent shows in random places, since he sometimes suppresses it. His wording every once in a while may sound off since he is a Nayhelm, and they often have a thing I call ” Nayhelmic terms” that are basically how they specially pronounce certain words. His…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Oh, sorry, just saw it. I need glasses, XD.

What shows in my writing are the secret struggles I have. Even Chase has a slice of my real heart in him. And it’s not the happiest part either.

@whalekeeper

The weird thing is, people I know in real life call ME their therapist as a joke, because either a person tells me their life struggles or I figure them out within a few days…

That’s great!

@highscribeofaetherium

Jonas went last.

@highscribeofaetherium

huh, mine aren’t that old wither, onl like 1980s-1990s with some 2000s

@highscribeofaetherium

How old are your recipes?

@jonas

That’s baking soda.

I bake a lot, and over three quarters of my recipes say just “soda”.

btw, I have little opinion on this matter, cuz I’ve only drinked it once in my life, and I’m a New Englander by birth (German by heart) so no one calls it anything but “soda” up here.

@jonas

You have not noticed the spelling. Mandin said “Speedering” Nahim said “Speedeering”. Nahim pronunciates it as speed-dear-ring with his Nayhelmic accent.

@scoutfinch180 I know I haven’t replyed yet, but i got a idea and am trying to run with it, plus I’ve been sick. @whalekeeper @grcr @jonas @hybridlore

Chapter 2: Nahim, the Last Nayhelm

the first part

 “Nahim. Nahim!”

Mandin waved his large hand in front of his 19-year-old friend’s hidden face. “Nahim, what’s up?”

Nahim seemed to be the only…

@grcr

Ohh, gotcha! It’s a fantasy race, then?

@acancello

That’s good! Yeah, I feel like I should try that, too. I wouldn’t say my characters are all super introverted, but generally they’re more quiet than loud, unless I’m just trying to have them say something to move the plot forward.

Oh, that’s awesome! I like characters like that too XD Yeah, I think I get what you mean.

I’ve never…[Read more]

Brown eyes can be really pretty! I feel like I’ve maybe overused them a bit, though, because I think it’s realistic to have characters with them since they’re most common. Oh, and I forgot about hazel. I think I’ve used that one before too.

@grcr

Personality-wise, my characters have all sorts of different traits… I’m an INTP, but I try to make my characters different myself,

Hey, awesome! We’re twins xD

That’s really interesting! I don’t know if I’ve honestly tried to write from the perspectives of extroverted characters before … I guess I struggle with character development a lit…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin

Nice XD I mean, they’re aliens, it’s okay lol.

Exactly, it’s hard XD Cause that one word works so well there, but you’ve already used it 🤦

@kyronthearcanin

Ohhh, gotcha, it was dyed xD.

Oh man, I think all writers must xD Or just everyone in general. Sometimes I’ll be reading and I’m like, wait, didn’t they just use that word in the last paragraph? Maybe our brains can only hold so many words at one time so we just end up using the same ones to describe things XD

@kyronthearcanin Wow, blue hair?? XD Yeah, I would like to pay more attention to it so that my characters are more different, so I thought it would be fun to see what everyone on here does. Looks like you’ve done a pretty good job on it though!😅

@rae

Cool! Yeah, it’s funny how our characters kind of reflect different parts of ourselves. And…[Read more]

My charries are never a perfect reflection of myself, they only have a few things each that are like me, and i let others try to find them and almost never point them out unless I’m making a point (cuz often they are the deepest parts of my heart)
