@whalekeeper In my mind, I see it as:

Protagonist–The main character or character whose arc we’re following. The POV character in a first-person story.

Hero–Subtype of protagonist. Usually someone with a sense of good and evil, a person with moral standards they won’t break unless in an extreme situation, a person worth emulating at least by…[Read more]

Aw! It’s so sad. I love it.

@jonas

Soooo, do you think Rosemary could be called into this meeting, cause she either gets separated from the group? And if so, I will have her villain journey be different from my WIP. Since her husband doesn’t exist in this world. And maybe they could see the jealousy in her, of her brother, and use that to fuel her anger and rage?

Discussion question. What is the difference between a protagonist and a hero? What qualities do you like to see in a protagonist, and do you prefer them to be a ‘hero’ or nay?

I’mma throwing this out there because I like reading people’s responses. 🙂

@ellette-giselle

Yes, the defeating the prophesy junk is stupid unless there is a very valid reason. For instance, I had a character in a book who was cursed by the gods of his people because of a prophesy, but when he came to Christ he was able to flip that on it’s head and say, “you know what, I was cursed. But so are all of you. We are all cur…

@rae yeah I can see that.

idk about misunderstood but tragic definitely.

@freed_and_redeemed ugh you’re making me sad now

like in Freedom’s Fire you see him as mostly heartless and cruel, but in all the other books he is more humanized–he has a brother, he has a family, he has reasons for why he did what he did. Not that they were good reasons, mind you, but it means that it upsets you that he went down the path of…[Read more]

Anyone want to see a Hans aesthetic? 👀

And btw, for anyone wondering, evil characters will have a separate limit.

@the_lost-journal

I mean, it depends on what you want to do. Basically what’s going to happen is we’re going to cut to a different scene where the villain will have summoned his own group of characters. That’s when we’ll add our villains. But if you don’t care about your character showing up for that scene, I don’t care if you add them now.

@jonas

Only after this scene?! But Rosemary has gotten NOWHERE! I must add this character AFTER school!

@the_lost-journal

Yep, you can add another. (The current limit is actually 4 at this point btw.)

I was planning on having us add villains shortly after we finish the current “scene.”

@jonas

Hey Jonas, could I add a new character to this? I only have two, and you said the current limit was three. So I was wondering if I could add in a character to develop Rosemary. Her character has gotten nowhere, and besides her acting more of a jerk then usual to Rina, she hasn’t been all that evil.

And speaking of evil, when will villains…[Read more]

Oh that makes sense! Yes, the defeating the prophesy junk is stupid unless there is a very valid reason. For instance, I had a character in a book who was cursed by the gods of his people because of a prophesy, but when he came to Christ he was able to flip that on it’s head and say, “you know what, I was cursed.

@ellette-giselle

The part where it’s like “one shall stand and one shall fall” sort of thing so I was like “Ok, one of them can’t make it” so I was glad you kept to that because the “oh look we’re so cool we defeated the prophesy” device (Percy Jackson, anyone?) is just silly

@power

thank you!

@loopylin

I give you the stamp of approval. 🏅 But you already know that, since rubberhose is my favorite.

@rae

If you ever finish yours, I’d still like to see it! I now it’s too late for you to enter, but I’m very curious.

Honestly I think it revealed too much about one of my characters. And as you know, I am quite skittish to post such things. XD

Congrats, this topic rose in popularity again! I’m glad everyone is having fun! And this whole family…[Read more]

Aaaand I shall cross my arms and back away from this, because I have roleplayed enough already.
