Skeleton: What is your biggest fear?
// These go under the cut for potential triggers in guns/gunshots, puppetry, manipulation
Shimi: Shimi fears, more than anything else, a lack of control over her own identity or having it stolen. She can’t stand that what is her life and her entire being would or could be used by someone else, in the most extreme cases copying her perfectly. Shimi will lose any semblance of who she is and whether her own existence is real or not.
Tetsutetsu: Tetsutetsu fears a simple thing. He fears failure. Not the, ‘Oh, I got a low mark on the quiz,’ type of failure, but that specifically relating to his friends and family. It starts to really rear its head in him after the Summer Training Camp and the fight against Mustard with Kendou. For some reason, he couldn’t stop thinking about the ‘what if I failed?’
Happy Halloween, What would your OC's do if they saw an army of ghost approaching them on Halloween?
Thank you so much for the ask!
When faced with an army of ghosts, most of the main bloodmage squad would realize that there isn't much to be done against such creatures and retreat until Hati or Ma could come up with a counter measure.
The sole acception to this would be Ember. In a ghost army scenario, she would definitely have to get dragged away with the others while trying to see what it took to burn a ghost.
Halloween ask! Have you ever made a major change to a character's personality while editing?
Thank you so much for the ask!
Unfortunately, I tend to get very attached to my villain characters. That translates into me making major changes in their personalities, goals, and actions while editing. I make them better people and have to introduce worse people to fill the plot.
In an example, my original draft for a main bbeg was just, he's crazy flat out, zero redeeming qualities, punches babies and kicks kittens type of person, but then while going back over things I was like, but why is he crazy? Which spiraled into a whole situation, and now he's just doing what he has to so that people he cares about stay alive, and I really just want him to get help and make it through the horrors thay I have placed on his shoulders.
Bonus, I do end up with more interesting side characters for my brain to make separate stories for. (Not that I have the energy to write any of them down properly...)
