jaan… it took me 14 years to finish tov. there's no such thing as taking too long to write. the fact that you decide to write and stick with your story is already such an achievement. coming UP with the story takes so much effort. so many people cant even fathom creating a unique story and then putting those words to a page. whether you write 250 words in a day or 5 or 2k-- it doesn't matter. you wrote. and that makes you a good writer.

You know, I've always been really insecure about word counts and stuff since I am a slow writer and I was thinking stuff like "if any better and faster writer was writing Faded Daisy, they probably would have gotten it done in like one or two months, yet here I am after seven months and am only like 30% done," but a better and faster writer couldn't write Faded Daisy at all. It would be some other completely different piece of writing. So dumb insecure hypotheticals are useless. Faded Daisy can only be written at the pace I can write at because I am the only one who can write it.

I have written about 250 words today so far, which is not very much for most writers, but it's a lot for me since I haven't written in a little while, and because more importantly I enjoyed writing them and it wasn't miserable for once, so I'm happy about it.

CHARACTER INTRO:

RISING FROM THE ASHES

CARMIN LÉVÊQUE

(smugly) “Didn't you know? That's what I'm best at. Fucking up everyone else's plans.” - Carmin Lévêque

Daughter of Kestrel Lévêque, squire of Kieran Caron, and descendant of a dark god, Carmin Lévêque's name holds a lot of weight—very little of which she's earned.

But she hasn't let it get to her head—far from that, Carmin avoids mentioning it and tries her best to keep people from finding out.

The only problem?

Her reputation precedes her.

Or... not her reputation.

But the Lévêques'.

All of Kihroin are familiar with the name and its meaning—the god they supposedly serve—and, while they pay them their due respects, the citizens of Kihroin give the Lévêques a wide berth when and wherever possible.

Including Carmin.

Although... there are whispers on the streets.

Whispers behind closed doors.

Despite her reputation, despite her aura, and despite her name... Carmin looks very little like her brother or father. Carmin didn't engage with political matters like her them. And Carmin didn't have the Lévêque magic like her brother, father, or his father before him.

And that was all of them—all of the Lévêques of time.

And yet Carmin alone, with so few similarities to the rest of her family, didn't have that magic?

It's just a silly little conspiracy theory, of course.

But why else would Kestrel—her lone parent after her mother's death years ago—keep her isolated from family events? Like he was ashamed of her? Like he hated her?

Who can say?

But everybody knows misfortune befalls those who whisper just a bit too loudly.

I mean, what else would you expect of a family who practices—no, specializes in—abstract, dark magic?

No.

Best to leave that be.

Besides, her brother, Roman, loved getting personally involved with those who gave problems to his sister.

There was no good getting involved with that cursed family.

The Woman Herself

That was a lot about her family's reputation, right? What about her?

What about Carmin Lévêque?

Great question. The answer?

People don't really care.

Within Lotus, Carmin is—quite simply—considered to be a bitch.

She's cold, she's curt, she ignores and pushes everyone else away, she doesn't fake niceties, and she refuses to engage with any political elbow-rubbing.

During missions, she's detached and doesn't socialize with her teammates. During classes, she has the audacity to coldly offer her own advice to other students while the professor is busy—and, worst of all, it's always right!

And, if you just happen to come across her when she's not in classes or working? “Leave her the fuck alone.”

Magic & Combat

Carmin has the ability to manipulate the gravity on objects, which she uses in a myriad of ways.

Most frequently, Carmin uses her magic to lessen the weight of her armor and weapons, allowing her greater dexterity and speed in combat. Similarly, she can and will drag down her opponents or their weapons, making them struggle to move or lift their weapons.

Carmin can also use her magic to forcibly levitate people and objects, removing them from the field (both offensively and defensively) and possibly disabling them.

... or levitating many objects, which she can then use to barrage her opponents with as needed or necessary.

In conjunction with her levitation, Carmin most often uses throwing knives—which she can throw faster through the removal of gravity—and a bow.

Additionally, Carmin has barrier magic she's able to use to defend herself and others... as well as near-invisible stepping stones and walls to push opponents.

Appearance

Carmin is a Kihroihian (Fantasy!Mixed Country), 5'2 (157cm) woman of eighteen years.

She has tanned skin; straight, shoulder-length bobbed hair that's dyed black; a long face with soft features; and the signature Lévêque royal blue eyes... although it's speculated they were magically altered to be so or that she's wearing colored contacts.

Carmin has a wiry frame, a lot of muscle due to keeping in shape for her work as a squire, bags under her eyes from a frequent lack of sleep, and a resting bitch face. She most often has her shoulders squared back, an empty or angry expression, and holds herself in a way that implies arrogance or that she considers others beneath her.

Very shortly after the beginning of RFtA, thanks to being caught in the fires of Vemor, Carmin gains burn scars that warp the right side of her face, her right ear, and much of her right side—shoulder, arm, and bits of her leg, chest, and back—entirely.

Much of the right side of her hair was likewise burned off, but it's slowly growing back in its natural ginger color.

Personality & Motives

Carmin Lévêque is an angry, bitter woman who does little but work, train, and push other people away. She has little connection with her family—although Roman's protectiveness over her suggests a positive relationship between them... or him looking out for their family name—and spends a vast majority of her time focusing on her studies to become a knight.

Before first joining the academy, Carmin was a hermit who spent a majority of her time in the Lévêques' estate. Her existence was only known of thanks to her so-called identity as a Lévêque, and she only finally emerged to join the academy (at age eleven) alongside Roman.

Although she seems cold and uncaring on the surface, Carmin has a strong sense of justice and wants to make the world a better place. She claims her mother's death—which she witnessed to a burglar when she was five—is her motivation to stamp out evil, cruelty, selfishness, and corruption in the world. Despite her position, Carmin also attributes social issues and wealth disparities to the world's strife.

Carmin is extremely motivated, doing little but constantly building on her training to become a knight. She doesn't make friends, she doesn't party, and she doesn't network.

Except... she doesn't have a family she's sworn to outside her own. Roman is the knight to the crown prince, Elazi Adlani, and her father is the knight to the king, Riaan Adlani. Neither of them need knights, and none of them want Carmin engaged to Elazi or the second-born prince, Zain.

So what is she working towards?

What is she planning?

And where will she go after she graduates?

She has less than two years to figure it out.

of course its the physics thats the same.

its always the physics...

hello. does your world mimic earth or does it have completely separate continents and galaxies and laws of physics?

thank you. 🙂

My world mimics earth in some ways, like I base the physics in my world (even the magical stuff) mainly on real concepts. I just find real science interesting enough to riff off when building new ideas. I also like having a point of reference to compare new ideas to just to make sure they are practical.

However the continents and galaxies are not the same as earth.

There are 5 major continents in my world (not including like the arctic) and none of them are the same as earth.

I have a whole world map somewhere. I will reblog with it later but basically no, not the same as earth.

LETS GOOOOOO

-Hearts of Fire: A Formal Introduction-

Go West go North go East go South, there is always something waiting, what will you find..?

--

She is not a human nor a beast She is angry. She is quiet. She is loud. She is scared Will you hold her hand? Of course not, you're scared too. Would you watch, at least? Give a little more attention than the right people have bothered? Splendid. Shh, don't let her hear you, she hates surprises. Who is she, you ask? I don't know. She doesn't either. Who am I? It hardly matters You will follow she from land to sea, dirt to snow, to and fro. She has made a mistake, causing her village pain. Now she treads with enemies and not yet friends Are you still watching? Splendid. Let us begin.

--

Norah is not one for introductions, but if you will know her name eventually, what's the point of hiding? The point is survival. Her village despises her, she's stuck looking after her drunken father, and she doesn't even know her mothers name.

There is one light, her friend and mentor. This mentor talks of magical fortunes and smells always of fresh fruit, it was a dream. Until...one big fortune comes true, and Norah and the balance of the world is in danger.

Thrown out of what she carved as her shell she treads the dangerous lands of the woods, searching for answers and solutions.

If only a miniature nipping dragon, an amateur wizard, and her sworn enemy weren't following her. If only she could be alone, but for now, she keeps one foot in front of the other....Oh can those three be quiet-!
