@godlyfantasy12 I think your characters are so cool! I want to hear more about them! (I can see why November’s your good boy. I feel that way sometimes ABOUT CHARACTERS I DIDN’T EVEN CREATE BUT HAVE THE TENDENCY TO TORTURE IN MY FANFICS….WHY???) And two of your characters are siblings, and don’t even know it???!! That’s awesome!

@hallie-jean @power @e-m-trepke

Sorry for such a late response–I was sick this past week or so, and couldn’t really answer. I’m fine now, though.

Feather and Rinzler

“Let’s look for a way outta here,” Dark suggested.

Feather noticed he was especially wary about the room. The holes in the walls did remind her of a trap room which poured water…[Read more]

@lydia-s Thanks for chiming in anyway! XD

@devastate-lasting Thank you so much! I know you have a lot of experience with online publishing, so I’m really glad you wrote an article about it.

@joy-caroline I think something to consider is what theme you’d like this character to represent, and then working with that. So if your themes are love and faith, maybe finding a way for this character to struggle with one of those things. An estranged family member they have to reconcile with, and demonstrate love? A health crisis they have to…[Read more]

@emilysf Wow!!! That’s great!

@e-m-trepke @power @hallie-jean

Rinzler

“A glass-spitter? Can you tell me more about it?” Feather admired the lizard.

Rinzler was more worried about the fact that it was alive. “In our world, there’s something called ‘impossible ice’ which doesn’t act like normal ice….could they be encased in that? And that’s what’s keeping the creatures…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Thanks!

@hallie-jean @e-m-trepke @power

I’m doing something different today, and putting my two characters’ perspectives separate.

Rinzler

“If it hadn’t been for the rest of this castle being the way it was,” said Rinzler, looking around, “I would’ve thought Kelvin let his boys loose in here.”

He stepped around an icy table and came face to face with…[Read more]

@e-m-trepke @power @hallie-jean

Feather and Rinzler

“You’re right,” said Feather, “this sure isn’t the kitchens. Maybe it’s a primitive refrigerator?”

Then she realized these characters’ worlds probably didn’t have refrigerators.

“Sorry.” she said to their confused looks. “A machine from my world, that keeps food cold so it doesn’t…[Read more]

@power I love your descriptions! Also, it’s Rinzler who has the disks, sorry if you were confused there.

“The oddly dressed ape-thing…” That depiction of Feather made me laugh. I guess he’s never seen humans before?

@hallie-jean @e-m-trepke @power

Rinzler and Feather

Rinzler still thought Feather was too trusting, but he went along with the group as they meandered through the hallways.

“Are we really the only ones here?” he asked, looking around. “This castle doesn’t exactly look abandoned.”

“Could be an old World Controller school, like the Sanctuary,”…[Read more]

@emily-sf Milla sounds like a hypersense! They’re a species my brother created that are just like humans, but have super-enhanced senses. I don’t think they have radar, but they do have everything else. Also, they aren’t typically blind. But she sounds like she could be one!

@hallie-jean @e-m-trepke @power

Feather and Rinzler

“You need food?” Feather asked. “I sorta ran out of rations quite a bit ago, but there’s bound to be a kitchen somewhere.”

“I see you eyeing my discs. Don’t touch them unless you want one to your throat.” Rinzler hissed.

Hesh and Kent stood off to the side, watching.

“Rinzler!” Feather…[Read more]

@emilysf Really cool! Yeah, Feather’s story is a little like that. I created her and her sisters without knowing what to do with them, then realized they fit perfectly into the Star Wars universe right about the time of The Bad Batch (if you’ve seen that show). She’s the main antagonist’s sorta girlfriend (at least before he turned evil anyway).…[Read more]

@emilysf Yours is from a fanfic too? Awesome! Maybe she can meet my charries later…..

@valtmy Even though 99% of what I write is fanfiction anyway, I would not want the film industry  to adapt any of my stories without me in charge. They’d probably make all my fantasy stuff weird and dark. I would love seeing my Rexy picture books as a kids’ TV miniseries, but I’d probably create it and direct it and everything. I would NOT leave…[Read more]

@e-m-trepke @power @hallie-jean

Rinzler

“The ‘Dark Player?’” Rinzler eyed the kid dubiously. They looked to be close in age, but that didn’t mean he trusted him. If anything, he trusted him even less than he trusted Hesh or Kent. “With a name like that, if I hadn’t already realized you’re completely foreign, I would’ve thought you were from m…[Read more]

@e-m-trepke @power @hallie-jean

Feather and Rinzler

“Well, you’re a persistent one, aren’t you, love?” The new character smirked.

Feather wasn’t quite sure what to say to that. Rinzler growled audibly.

“All right. I’ll give you a deal. I’ll tell you my name…. if you can tell me where I am.” said the new character.

Feather looked around.…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Yep, the Tron series is a little-known story, but I love it (actually listening to the soundtrack right now). Rinzler as I have him doesn’t actually appear or exist–as far as I can tell, anyway–in the original movies, but the name “Rinzler” was once another alias for his father, Tron. So my brother (who works on the stories with m…[Read more]
