re-listening to 'one wish' by michelle harrison and i'm obsessed with raven, gredin and feathercap popping up at the cottage door like destiny's child.

Happy Storyteller Saturday Sleepy!

When developing a character, where do you start? What do you think is the most important part of character building?

@bloodlessheirbyjacques

Alright. Here's the process.

Step 1: I have a situation that needs a guy, so I fold one out of paper and stick him in there. He name is...Wryn. Sounds good.

Step 2: okay but why is the guy in the situation? Did he choose to be? Did somebody drop him off behind a Wendy's with nary a second thought? Has he stumbled upon this situation unluckily? Gotta think about that

Step 3: okay while we're thinking about WHY, let's find some adjectives. What about this guy. Does he wear snazzy red waistcoats because he can? Sure. Is this before or after the situation? What skills does he possess? Is he a blacksmith because I really like those? Sure. What are his features? It'd be cool if he had dark blue skin. Sure.

Step 4: okay okay so he did willingly go into this situation but he was NOT expecting the outcome. He's just working with it. This is not really a good time but what can you do. Get found by some potential new friends? Sure.

Step 5: does he have a family? We've got two absent families, let's have two present ones. Okay. He has a great relationship with his dad, somebody should have one. Okay. What does he contribute to the new friend group? It'd be weird if he, no, okay, that could work. Interesting. Yeah.

Step 6: but he's semi-possessed. So he's they. They're plural. Okay, makes sense. Do they have a sense of humor? Oh, delightful. Sure.

Step 7: *a considerable length of time later* wait so why did he agree to being put in the situation again?

Etc.

The most important part is the why. Why is this guy in your story? It doesn't have to be profound, but he's gotta have a reason. What does he contribute? Doesn't have to be profound but it's gotta have a reason.

Alternatively, my process is just: start with myself, and slowly deconstruct and reconstruct until I have a whole new person. Tada!

Tap'elle (& various others)

For the last member of the sylvan symphonic family, we have the humble Tap'elle. Its hard, hollow blossoms have a rough surface that catches the light. To make a Tap'elle instrument, one simply needs to pluck one of the Tap'elle's strong, stretchy leaves at its base and secure it to the two handle-like bits of its stem. The plant secretes a kind of sap in the crook of these bits that can be used to help keep the leaf in place. While the leaves at the base are stretchy and tough throughout most of their forms, the very bases of them are weak enough to be plucked by hand.

Also of note in this scene, we have various types of Sheroominas. Starting from the bottom left we have the Oraga Sheroominas. They are renowned for their zesty orange-like taste that makes for wonderful fragrances in tea and baking. They are also used by Fashion Buddys to create a brilliant, orange dye. Cooks are also a fan of their food-dyeing potential.

Then, going right we have Feathercap Angellas. They have a fragrance like that of vanilla, and like the main species of Sheroomina, help Fashion Buddys produce smooth thread.

Bottom right, we have Peppaminas. They have a delightful, minty taste used in tea and baking alike. When consumed by Fashion Buddys, they produce red and white thread, which is of mixed opinions in their communities.

To the upper left of the Peppaminas, there is also a regular Sheroomina or two.

Above the Oraga Sheroominas, we also have a Many-headed Sheroomina. It has an odd flavor and causes Fashion Buddys to produce lumps of thread instead of lines, so it is not a crowd favorite among them unless used for very specific purposes.

On the trees, we have various types of Sitri Fungee. On the left, we have Lima Sitri Fungee and Oraga Sitri Fungee, and Lema Sitri Fungee on the right. They each have piquant citrus flavors.

Hiding between the Oraga Sheroominas and the Feathercap Angellas is a species of grass called Bushabusha Mosoma. It prefers cool, wet areas like the forest where many of the Sheroominas grow, and is a common sight among them.

Lastly, there are a few Pai-Nola Vines growing on trees. They have a wonderful, pine-like scent and can be used to brew a relaxing tea.

Slider was... Feeling a lot of things at the moment. Frustration, fear, and a lot of confusion to name a few. Something... Had happened, something bad to him. He thinks. He's not even sure of that. His memory feels like a disk that keeps skipping your favorite part of the song. He remembered seemingly random things. His name, favorite color, what he ate for dinner two weeks ago, but besides that it was pretty blank.

He'd woken up in a chair in a garage to several people yelling at each other, something about programs and deleting the wrong thing? All he knew is he felt incredibly stressed out and wanted away from them. Bolting for the side door he stumbled into the light of the sun and looked out at the landscape he had no memory of.

Realizing the angry Borgs weren't far behind, Slider stumbled forward and kept running until he couldn't hear their shouts anymore, then just for a bit longer. Pausing to try and catch his breath, Slider looked around and realized he was being stared at. Shooting the nearest person an unsure smile and wave he called out. "Hey! Um- any chance I could borrow your phone or-" He didn't even get to finish his sentence as the person hurried off. Ok? Weird. He tried talking to three more people, each rejecting or ignoring him before he finally gave up and plopped on the edge of the street curb looking a tad annoyed. Why were people here so rude? Not like it mattered... Who was he going to call? He couldn't even remember anyone's names let alone a number.

Glancing up, Slider realized someone was talking to him. Zoning back in, Slider took in a short orange being with a hat staring back at him. What did she want? What was this her spot or something? Standing up, Slider let out a Huff. "No, no, it's fine! I'll move!" He grumbled despite not even hearing the being's question.

Why, my lancemate, Trooper Evian. A good pilot and a silver-tongued charmer. We served together in the Feathercaps in the spring of '18. Reactor detonated by a fusion rifle.

Good evening, friends. I would like to correct an error from yesterday - my statement in yesterday's speech that I would "like Evian back to sort this whole Sanjak thing out" was not in reference to the late Baron Evian Ludra. I was talking about a different Evian.

@feathercapped​ needs more SCOUT (x)

A robotic monitor was floating through the Cybrary to organize the books. He finishes up a cart and sees that Mari was around. Of course, the robot flies on over to greet his friend.

[Greetings Mari! I see you made you way back into the Cybrary! I happen to be present at this time! What a fortunate coincidence again! Is there any way I can help you?]

[opportunistic-chicanery]

@feathercapped​ asked:

A wild Mari appears! Smiling sheepishly, looks like she got caught sneaking around in the Wreaker again.

Love/Hate: My Muse despises those they care for and adores those they once hated for x amount of time. (Ask 1/3)

“Ciao, my cherish compadre. You don’t call, you don’t write. So what brings you aboard my humble abode?”

@feathercapped​ gets a starter (and I’m so sorry I’m slow)

Doc was a dwarf of habit, though there were reasons he would stray from his usual path. Even with a fear of outsiders and what might lay beyond the comfort of the woodlands, he could be urged to travel further. Thick fingers searched the brush for red berries as the sound of waves filled his head. He peered up from his collection to admire the ocean. It was beautiful and he knew there were people nearby, but he would be finished with his collection before anyone spotted him. Or so he thought. Doc stiffened and inhaled. “Erm... Lissen, I got a hood season- a good reason... erm... I’ll jus’ be on my way, I don’t wanna cause no trouble. Honest!”

Favourite thing about roleplaying?

♡ MUNDAY MEME ♡

( Absolutely has to be the fun situations I've seen characters end up in. For lack of a better term it literally is a multiverse crossover I've seen daniel radcliffe as a reverend fighting and arguing with a doom character, or Paul just being adopted by the most kind 80s muscle anime man.

Other than that the connections made with people and making good friends in the community. My own fandom may be dead but others are very open! )

“Whoa!” Maribo had almost stepped on the little mouse— nearly tripping over herself to avoid him. She knew, of course, what mice were, but had never seen one so close up. The short orange bot seemed fascinated.

“Are you cold?” she then asked. It had been a bit brisk that morning. “How’s about I get you inside?”

Funny, usually he has to make a mouse hole inside someone's house to get into someone's home. But this robot, she’s actually inviting him into comfy shelter.

Jerry nodded his head and followed the robot inside. Not knowing what to expect from a robot’s house.

❝ .....… ❞  Robots were just people with oil instead of blood right? ⸻and no need to eat. He doesn’t think he can stay here very long on an empty (or nonexistent) fridge.

Closed starter for @feathercapped who liked for a starter.

Hacker had given an entire speech that morning at breakfast about Slider staying out of the way because he had a very evil scheme to do and knew that Slider's goody two shoes tendencies liked to stop those schemes. Thus he was currently on the thick branch of a tree watching poddles move to and fro. His father and his henchmen were.... Somewhere, but Slider found it easier not to get involved, staying in his grey area of not good but not bad.

He glanced down in slight surprise however when he heard voices below his spot, grinning when he spotted Mari. Hooking his legs on the branch and falling backwards so he hung upside down from the branch, Slider beamed at her. "Hello Maribo the Paribo! How's Poddlesville treating you?" He snickered.

Remind us all what wonderful duties the "Feathercaps" did if you would be so kind Ferdinand, after all your history should be in the light no?
