Ah, but what happened to Fel?

@loopylin

But I’m happy with that

And that’s exactly why some of my characters are just chill and happy. There’s nothing less deep about having an average backstory. I can think of some characters who are super shallow because the writer thought trauma equals character depth.

@hybridlore

Honestly I don’t know XD I told someone I wasn’t going to post the words I wrote because they were too depressing, and it kind of escalated from there.

plus another who was kidnapped and experimented on and trained as a little child

which mentally messed him up enough that he acts like a little kid

@ellette-giselle

I would prove that the Lovedream children have darker pasts, but it’s not worth spoiling the whole thing unfortunately. XD My apologies. You’ll just have to take my word for it.

meanwhile I have a charrie who watched his family die, his home destroyed and his clan wiped out

another who never knew what it was to be a kid, who killed people from an early age

and another who was created in a lab with mental links to his brothers who were all killed, brothers he watched being created and even named…plus his father is the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Thanks!

Those books are very dark.

I mean, that was just Joe.

Then we get Jack who tried to rebel from the inside and had to watch his whole team, including his cousin, get shot.

And Jonathan and Micheal………

And Nathan……

yeah.

@ellette-giselle

I like it! A little Ender’s Game, a little something else. It’s giving dystopian. 💁‍♀️ I’m usually not sure how to react when people explain backstories since it’s out of context, but it sounds like pretty solid trauma, especially for a whole group of protagonists.

@whalekeeper

Alpha need a lot of perspective reorientation. Actually I have a close friend who once reacted to a puppy in a very similar way, haha 😝 He even used the word scrawny.

Lol

@whalekeeper

I don’t know what’s worse!! Watching people you love brutally murdered for the pleasure of a bloodthirsty crowd, or being completely abused and brainwashed. Or…. yeah, there’s a lot.

I guess I’ll go with the second.

Joe was ripped away from his family by the government when he was 12 years old. He was marked for government…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Immaculate vibes. 👌

That’s pretty much how I picture Baron too. Powerful, but not the best teammate, at least for now.

@calyhuge

Whaoh! Don’t be a Scrooge!!

Please say you really do like Christmas.

Otherwise you might have a frightening night in the near future.

@ellette-giselle

Whichever is worst, lol.

@whalekeeper

I have a lot.

Shall I pick one?

I’m really not sure which is the worst.

@ellette-giselle

I’m glad you like him. I’ve tried hard to make him an interesting charrie.

Yeah, I get that. It makes sense. Baron was a solo, sometimes duo for the Bloodsilver, so large teams aren’t his usual thing.

@ellette-giselle

*Sticks out my tongue at you* What is your most traumatized backstory then?

@rae

Oh my goodness. That’s adorable.

*gasp* how could you!

@liberty (because you’ll probably want to read this. 😉 )

“How’s my favorite patent today?”

Liam looked up as Werner peeked around the door. “Doing well,” he replied, a smile touching his pale face.

Werner stepped in and softly closed the door behind him. “I’m glad…

Don’t worry, he will die a well deserved horrible death.
