whaley the great and terrible

@whalekeeper remember that thing where it was the character hunger games you made?

I actually found a simulator like that and ran all of my characters plus a couple others too.

Soldier won. Which I know was by chance but it was very in character for him lol. He also discovered a cave twice.

Interestingly, Sniper and Crosshair actually…[Read more]

Ellis

“Oh, that’s a bit difficult to answer.” Ellis leaned back and looked up at the sky as he thought. When he finally spoke again, his voice was distant, lost in the memory of a dream. “I remember… flying. Or falling; I couldn’t tell. A wall of stone bricks was about a foot away from my face, speeding past in a grey blur. I…[Read more]

Ari

This fairie King liked asking questions.

“Well, I…” He paused. What was left? His half-brothers were good at everything that mattered–warriors, diplomats, judges– “Haven’t really thought about it. What do you like to do?”

@whalekeeper

Ari

Breaf and honey. His mouth curved up despite himself. He took the food.

“I don’t think so, or at least…”

At least, not compared to the legends of his dead cousins.

“… Not yet.”

His fingers burned at the remembered thrum of wood, sinew, and feather singing from shot and shot. He shoved a bite of bread into his mouth to…[Read more]

“Depends on how you define friends. There’s a fellow in archery that doesn’t seem to mind practicing with me.”

“People usually don’t stick around after our first meeting.” Although, he didn’t typically end up sitting on a student’s bedroom floor talking about family and friends. He studied the dust swirling around them.

How did he get here?

@ellette-giselle Good. =D

@whalekeeper

Ari

His mother? He sat down and folded his arms across his drawn up knees.

This boy didn’t know about his family. His chin came up a fraction. There would be no misinformation or preconceived motions to combat.

“She’s a beautiful woman. Gracious, gentle hearted, a true queen. She’s a noblewoman by birth…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I so love these two!!

@whalekeeper

Oh my word. O.O

Ari

It was perfectly normal for people to walk up walls. Definitely. Ari’s unhinged mouth had nothing to do with it.

Definitely.

Black stars.

The window screeched open, letting in a want of misty night air. Ari managed to snap his mouth shut. Moth was talking again in his quiet way, crouched two feet over Ari’s…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ari

This place was old. Or maybe just forgotten. Words had never been his strong point.

It was also bare besides the coat of dust hanging around them, but Ari didn’t notice. His gaze was latched on the dim square of glass in the ceiling.

“Does it open?” He looked back at Moth. The boy had said something…ah.

“The floor’s a place…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ohhhhh….   O0O

She is the great and terrible. XD

Ari

“I, err…” He brushed his hair back. Hang? Wasn’t that a form of execution? But no, the students here used it for something else. He had mentioned food. Ari nodded, the movement sending his hair back over his eyes. “Need someone beat up?”

@whalekeeper

Ohh! It just let me actually see it. It had you as “Anonymous” with no pic. (Your name is hilarious)

XD

Ari

His eyes widened.

“King? And that man put a watching spell on your door? Black stars.” He shook his head, cursing under his breath.

Here was a king who actually wanted to help his people and the school treated him like…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

What had happened to thy profile pic? =|

Ari

“Eh…” He shrugged, eyes on the emptying hallway. “Net necessarily middle children. My father was technically the second born of the stories are true. But things happen to annoying little brothers.”

Things no one wanted to explain to the next generation. That was fine. Ari would find…[Read more]

Ari

Moth looked sincere if a little uncertain. Ari looked away to study the scarlet scrolling on the wall.

“I…”

better himself…help his kindred…troubles…this boy was good hearted, even if he did seem a bit unsettled.

Ari was just unsettled.

“Guess I didn’t want to repeat history. Kind of the middle child, so to speak.…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ari

The ghost of a smile flickered into view.

Moth. That… Strangely explained the boy’s oddness. Child of nobody. Well, that was certainly an improvement on his own situation.

“Names, yes. They don’t have to be long to be a mouthful.”

Other residents had started to take belated interest in their conversation. The dark Verenion…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ari

He gave the boy a slow nod of respect. Certainly didn’t look like someone who would let himself be bossed around by superficial authority figures.

But his question stuttered Ari’s brain to silence. His name? Everyone knew who he was–or if they didn’t, they sure thought they did.

New boy…Right. He relaxed against the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I’m curious to know if this guy is going to be a problem for the other characters or if he’ll behave in a group setting.

He should be fine but we shall see. He’s not used to working with people.

@whalekeeper

That’s alright! This last week has been nuts for us too.

Ari

The strange golden headed boy gestured a greeting and…smiled. Ari blinked, then slowly reached up to brush his black curtain of hair from his eyes. Hesitated.

Probably a new kid. He’ll ignore me tomorrow.

Still. Might as well be polite.

Ari pressed a fist to his…[Read more]

@whalekeeper ok good i’m still stuck on what to post lol

@whalekeeper

FOUR? Oh my 🤣

He starts out against the protagonists for other reasons but as the story progresses he moves down the spectrum a bit towards the evil side. At this point he’s probably somewhere in between.

I saw the art going around…and I wanted to join! Would any of you be interested in an art swap? I thought the drawing of Wolfgang was great! And that one Grcr did of Reinhard… *laughing* The digital art was stunning. Now, I am not an artist according to your guys’ levels, but I can…[Read more]
