#very general character descriptions

[fatewild]

there’s quite a few characters on my page, so here’s a comprehensive list of my original characters with bad short summaries:

unaffiliated

shiri madrala,  wood elf druid. can be mean because she only knows how to talk to plants and snails. her first time out of her woodland ended up with getting a strange parasite, so she gets a bit defensive. wants to be able to turn into a stone golem.

tomcat,  faerie changeling sorcerer. pink disaster. used to be a slave to a witch who was stealing his magic and gave him permanent scars. despite that, he’s a sweetheart and a clingy optimist. can’t read, but can draw really well. has sunlight powers.

charis fray,  tiefling wizard. pink disaster 2.0. used to be a princess locked in a tower, and raised by a wailing wraith, hence why she can can be a little deranged at times. learned illusion magic from books inside the tower and is on a quest to learn more.

vesper ‘vale’ vallen’as,  3/4 elf cleric. professional curse breaker, secretly an author of erotic novels under a pen name. comes from a long line that originated from celestial bloodline, but basically left to live alone in his woodland home for years and years. has social skills of a wooden stick.

ginny montague,  human wizard. your friendly neighbourhood necromancer. comes from a happy family that lived by a graveyard, hence why her expertise is what it is. used to be bullied as a kid, but grew not to care. wants to become a dead people’s lawyer.

jinho,  half-elf monk. with a dash of sorcerer. the grumpiest doctor you’ll ever meet. it’s very easy to read him, so he’s not very mysterious. he died and got resurrected by his brother, who gave up his life, so he’s been accused of killing the only person he actually liked.

roberta silkwater,  halfling warlock. local housewife makes pact with a sea hag to save her son, has a year to live before her soul is consumed and body overtaken by said fiend. may or may not have the hag’s voice inside her head at all times.

dustin the just,  human fighter. formerly a noble, got disowned after he protected people they didn’t want to protect. currently sword for hire, a bit oblivious, easygoing. lights torches for other adventures and often tends to befriend monsters instead of killing them.

crime clan

morwen shask,  elven blooded half-orc rogue. equivalent to fantasy millennial. works as a waiter and bartender during the day, professional thief during the night. a really chill, but firm guy, who has big, warm hands and fairly attractive looks. is currently looking for his sister.

jade / mya oriseis,  elven blooded half orc sea cleric. runaway from home, formerly a pirate captain before a mutiny occurred and she was killed at sea along with her husband. resurrected by an enemy to the god she used to serve, currently amnesiac.

wren oriseis / wu haoran,  half-elf bard. adoptive favourite child, certified eldest sister. businesswoman first, performer second. runs an inn and a spy network, taking care of her baby siblings. very passionate about cooking, gordon ramsay style.

immortals

svalin / strife / dalen (originally),  demon / fake deity. formerly a half-elven bard. local bard gets randomly selected for a curse, sets a chain of events where he’s eventually thrown into the abyss, gets turned into a demon because he can’t die and becomes a substitute for a lazy deity at a wishing well.

salazar rust,  ghost in a locket, formerly half-drow warlock. former courtesan gets killed and put in a locket, slowly fading into oblivion and forgetting himself. is stuck in an antique shop of an aged gnome with zero trading skills. bored to death (literally).

affiliated

nayan searlas,  human rogue. former prince whose (almost) all family got killed before he ran away. has chronic main character syndrome, but tries to avoid it like a plague. for a while worked for a theatre group as a scenographer, costume designer and stage assistant.

There exists in my brain a collection of characters that belongs to a loose, cross-fandom polycule/adventuring party and this is the current roster

[aroaessidhe]

2023 reads / storygraph

The Archive Undying

semi-postapocalyptic scifi/fantasy

the sole undying acolyte of a dead mecha god who went mad and destroyed its city, who is on the run and drowning himself in substances & men in order to forget

he joins an expedition to explore the shrine of another AI entity, and after something goes wrong finds himself thrown back into the violent world of gods & machines

godpunk, giant robots, body horror, trauma, shifting POVs, generally weird, vibes-heavy

I feel like ppl really don’t take advantage of the fact that Sydney is vaguely described as being goth as much as they should. like I feel like we should be really using the fact that there are sooo many goth subcultures clothing-wise and Sydney is just described as Goth without any type in specific cause for the most part Sydney designs can get pretty repetitive. we should be drawing less of Sydney wearing just a long skirt or two with a sweater overtop all the time and more of Sydney wearing some freak hybrid of so many different goth styles all at once or sometjing

Okay I know I said a month ago that I was going to consistently post about my game and then I proceeded to note make a single fucking post again. I had to con crunch my sweetheart cosplay which I didn't even finish in time. I'm still working on the cosplay and that's taking up most of my free time in the evenings, so I still can't really take the time to post about the game at this time. BUT I am still working on it and I've officially named it!

The game is called Godlike Reflections. It's a story in three acts (there'll also be a prologue that's unlocked after beating the game). So far there are 8 endings. The game is heavily based on Greek mythology. There's also inspiration from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint (lots of inspo here), AtLA, certain songs (playlist below), art from multiple periods between the 1400s-1900s (mostly renaissance, baroque, and neoclassical), black/white doomed yaoi🙏 (esp stsg), Omori, Baroque Decay games, Faith: The Unholy Trinity, manhwa tropes, and more that I can't think of rn. I want to make a game that has the features that I look for as a player: story rich, replayability, good music, and engaging gameplay. I want it to be rewarding for completionists and achievement hunters, like myself, while not being a slog for speedrunners.

Here's the barest of bones rundown of act one and two (I haven't decided what details I want to consider as spoilers yet, so I'm gonna hold off on giving act three info for now): There are twins (brother and sister) who are fighting their way towards the villain - the leader of the organization that destroyed their home and is trying to rule over everything. However, when they finally confront him, a pit opens up and the brother falls in. As he's falling, the villain dives in after him. The twins are separated and must find a way to reunite, but our hero and villain will have to learn to work together to escape the underground. During this time, the characters learn some hard truths, work on growing stronger, and find out who they are and what they want. Unfortunately, what one character wants isn't always in line with the desires of another.

I'll give some detailed info on the layout, characters, plot points, etc. in follow up posts. Just wanted to give these little pieces for now. I'm slowly learning how to draw, so don't expect any actual pics of characters for a while. I still know how they'll look though, so I'll post pics that show what I'm thinking of.

Here's a playlist I made of songs that either inspired aspects of the game (i.e., Murders by Miracle Musical [the ending is what made me come up with the game in the first place]), fit the vibe of the game (e.g., The Suburbs by Arcade Fire; Goth by Sidewalks and Skeletons), or might as well be character POVs during certain parts of the game (e.g., Goodnight, Travel Well by the Killers; Alien Blues by Vundabar; 505 by Arctic Monkeys; Nowhere to Run by Stegosaurus Rex).

There's this thing that authors do sometimes with action sequences where it seems like they forget the action so they can spend time in the characters' head instead

(or maybe they use that as a way to avoid writing the action-y sequence idk)

So it's like. The revolution is here, the characters have supposedly been planning for it for weeks or months or years and the actual resolution of that is like. 10 paragraphs on why the revolution is worth it followed by: "they execute the plan". And then ten more paragraphs about how the characters feel about executing the plan. And then maybe a long description about how things aren't perfect and how the characters feel about that

And like. I know we all like being in the characters' heads and we wish action movies had a little bit more introspection but I feel like this is the opposite extreme, and every time it happens it literally doesn't matter whose head we're in, I just want it to end

Hello again! First of all I LOVED what you wrote for my last request, thank you so SO much, it made my day better 💕💕💕 I hope you don’t mind me coming back for more 😉✨ Could you please do the SDC members’ reactions to a very creative and artistic reader who enjoys imagining and creating stories and characters, and their stand ability reflects that by allowing them to make anything from their imagination real(they mostly prefer making humans/humanoids from their made up stories since they can be used in fights. Said characters have their own independent personalities and powers as well). I hope this isn’t too complicated, but thank you and have a great day! 😄

This is a very cool idea! It honestly sounds like you’ve got an o/c on your hands! Unfortunately, I got a bit lost as to what to do with this request. I did my best to write about this, but forgive me if I got anything wrong/forgot to mention something. I decided to do headcanons to make it easier on myself! They are also very short. I struggle with very specific requests because I never know what to say that hasn’t already been said, ahh!

Artistic!Stand-User!Reader

When the crusaders first met you and witnessed your ability, it was a sight to behold

To have such a unique stand power that could produce individuals who they themselves had power was something they’d never thought possible

They silently thanked their lucky stars that you were on their side and they didn’t have to be on the attacking end of your stand

It was bizarre sometimes seeing individuals walking around that were only figments of your imagination

It had scared the crew quite a few times walking into the hotel room and seeing a stranger there

In battle you were incredibly useful, as any powers they needed but didn’t have you could produce for them

Your personality was also a treat—they appreciated having someone who brought a more positive and creative perspective to things

When it is finally time to part ways, it was a sad time, but you assured them you’d visit them all sometime soon

You’d never forget them

And they’d never forget you

And you were happy to run into them and assist them on their adventure

Using your own unique ability to do so

hi im hoping i can post images now. heres a doodle of kevin and iffaeh, from reading within lines

[ image desc: a simple nearly-stickfigure drawing of iffaeh beam and kevin ashford from reading within lines, op's original story. iffaeh is on the left, turned to kevin, rambling. faer rambling is visualized with chat bubbles that contain different images; a sun and moon, a book, a water droplet, a water droplet upside-down, an hourglass, a spiral, a leaf, and a question mark. iffaeh has a decorated hat, and the drawing shows a little beard. kevin is listening to faer, looking uneasy or nerveous, with a few sweat droplets drawn on his forehead. kevin has no distinguishing features in his simply drawn form. // end id ]

read camp dama.scus. enjoyed some stuff, really wish i didn't have the experience so often reading a book that's Good and Progressive and about Queer Affirmation etc of feeling like i'm side-eying the author like 'and you know that delineating the people that oppose you as pure evil that therefore deserves torture or death or being eliminated from society entirely is bad, right? you know that, right??'

[syrupyyyart]

[vernalloy]

I have the controversial stance of “aromanticism (especially as its own orientation, not necessarily connected to asexuality) shreds” and this is why I can never make my mark in the YA queer fiction mainstream
