Nope, I didn’t even know who that was until I just now googled it XDXD

I just combined an old fantasy character and an idea I had recently, and there Gus is, lol.

Alright, here’s mine! Simple bio:

A lamb-like creature, with a gentle spirit. He belongs a new land plagued with civil war, driven to the last line of defense, lead by child generals. He is not opposed to violence entirely, but not opposed to friendship either.

Gus

“Peace, oh men,” Gus said, teeth chattering, “even as I die.”

He curled hi…[Read more]

They act so much like real bros 😂

@godlyfantasy12 @grcr

Mine only goes on two legs too, so… *shrug* Actually, I think Koshka’s characters go on two legs.

@thearcaneaxiom

Sorry it took me so long to do this! I’m finally getting around to it. Long replies intimidate me a little bit lol.

Yeah, it’s ok to to use an algorithm every now and then. I personally shun it more often than not in preference of finding a mechanic, and then building off of it in all directions, thus finding all the aspects and e…

This sounds cool! I think Whaley gave some good advice here, but one thing I wanted to mention, I guess.

I usually consider the inciting event to be: the thing that happens, making it so the character can’t go back to normal. But I know that won’t always apply, and each book is unique to itself.

Another thing I noticed — Ara…[Read more]

@koshka

Cool, love your character’s bios ❤️

What about a character who is mostly animal? As in, all animal sometimes, and changes back to partly human when interacting with humans, having human like thoughts, etc.

He’s kind of like a mythical faun.

@freedomwriter76

ANOTHER fanfic, girl?? 😅😂

Just kidding, I really like it… lolol.

@godlyfantasy12

I never said God created an evil being. We did choose to be evil in the fall. I was never disagreeing with you there 😊 That Choice is what makes us all sinful.

But yeah, we can leave it.

…

Ah, well I will still eat my tarts with glee 😜

@godlyfantasy12

Oh, okay…

I guess… Just maybe think about it, if you ever become comfortable enough? I can’t tell you what to think about, only that we should approach everything with truth-filled eyes.

…

Yes I did, the pastry tart metaphor was.. illuminating XDXD I loved it!

@godlyfantasy12

Here’s the thing… In the Bible, you can see many places where the word evil is used interchangeably with the word sinful. The word evil can be used for different things (sometimes with a whole different meaning entirely) but it is used to describe sin.

I would say sin is profoundly immoral and wicked. After all, we should spend…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Insecurities.

Okay, here’s the bread and butter of it when it comes to my personal opinion –

I agree with you that they can be used as a character flaw, this is more of a tangent –

I feel like they comprise ninety-percent of character arcs in modern day YA, and I… kinda want the scales to shift? 😂 Is that just me?

Like, I…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Okay, I’m so glad we straightened that out 😅😂

That is MY bad by using that word in that way, and I apologize.

So I guess what I mean is:

Active arc: Triumphing over a sin you didn’t know you had

Passive arc: Learning you didn’t have a sin you thought you had

Does that make sense?

@godlyfantasy12

OH MY GOODNESS I just realized… I think we’re each using the word “flaw” differently

I’m using it to mean, “sin”

Is that what you mean?

…

Also I’m sorry for arguing this late. I shouldn’t be going to far into this, when I’m not absolutely sure if I’ll agree with my past self in the morning XD

@godlyfantasy12

LOLOLOL 😂😂😎 There ya go, do with it what you will ❤

So…

Is there some way Zolten’s death might connect with November?

(I mean, fundamentally he’s on the same path as Ara, but it would be nice if it meant something specific to him, too)

…Maybe something to do with November’s dad? Idk.

@godlyfantasy12

*Pulls back* Okay, I’ll slow down…

First off, “influenced by others” was probably not the correct choice of word.

Being influenced by others can indeed be a flaw if you take it too far, make all your decisions based on others, etc. But that’s not what I meant. I just meant any normal influence in general. For example, it’s…[Read more]

I thought about my whole character arc thing for a little while longer (went to the pool and mulled over it in the unfortunately cold water) and found another type which might be considered an “in-between” but is really just Passive.

I should think of better names than Active and Passive, if I’m going to be so passionate about this……[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Lol yeah ❤️

So in this book, Ara and November both have a fear of the unknown, but Ara has a more specific fear relating to her responsibilities as a leader, and November just has all that extra baggage.

Sooo all we need to do is think of inciting incidents for each of them, that have to do with their individual development!

If…[Read more]

@grcr

Ooh, awesome! I love Narnia!! 😁 Haven’t read the rest of those, but I know of some of them… Yeah, me too XD It’s really hard to pick.

Cool! What’s the fictional world like? I’m assuming it’s fantasy, xD

Amazing, I LOVE sci Fi!! Fantasy is pretty good at times, too.. have you read KOTLC?

XD Yeah! I was just trying to think of different…[Read more]
