The Unkempt Hole In the Wall—ahem, “The Cushy Corner Tavern”—was filled with sordid types that night. A group of ruffians guffawing in one corner. Watermir land sharks, the ensign guard, over there, discussing the crimes of the day. And three travelers enjoying a late dinner.
Character Profile 5: Rargem Reddale
What do you think of my thief? He actually morphed quite a bit during this character sheet, and I like him better. Now he can fill a role I discovered I needed for my story and without the derivative feelings he’d had before.
Character Profile 4: Darron Steele
Darron Steele is the major brawn of the team and will stand up for all the heroes whenever called for. He is just and determined, seeking to right the wrongs he sees, especially in relation to political corruptions he has learned about. And he will become an endearing member of the major five heroes.
Character Profile 3: Kaill
Kaill has always been one of my favorites and I use his name often as a handle in video games. Yeah, he’s the Merlin/Gandalf archetype of the story. But he’s so himself, too.
Character Profiles for Ba and Indu
My protagonist, Leam Daggorn, has just met these two again in the revision of my novel. Knowing them better will help flesh out the new scenes I’m adding in which they play a part.
Character Profile 1: Leam Dagorn
Introducing my new mini-series. Instead of the old Wild Card Day, this will be a space for building character profiles for my novels. Now to my first profile, my MC, my protagonist.
The Fear Grid, Part 11
As Purity stood there next to Gabriela, holding the woman’s hand, the world around her swirled in marvelous colors. The pink and white clouds; bright, blue sky; the red-orange-yellow of the sun; deep, blue sea; and the green-brown sprawl of land below all spiraled together in a whirlwind of holographic magic. A howling wind blew circles around them, whistling in Purity’s ears and blowing her hair across her face.
Witch Town, Part 11
ESMERELDA I cannot take any more of this. This is ludicrous. What makes this girl think that the humans will ever accept us into their world? Clearly she has not learned enough in her history class. ESDA (defensively) I do know my history! I know what they did… But that was so long ago. Maybe they’ve changed…
The Fear Grid, Part 10
“We are beings of light, givers of the pure energy of love, and healers of the fear grid. I completely understand your hesitation. By no means do I wish to rush you in your decision. Take your time with it, and whatever your choice I will honor it. But you are very gifted with the light, the power that you have seen me wield. You yourself, in fact, have already learned to harness this power, to an extent. You must remember your high school dance?”
Witch Town, Part 10
The Head Witch pauses again, this time to rifle through some rolled up papers. Finding a particular one, she attempts to open it but it rolls back on itself. Appearing slightly frustrated, she takes her wand once more and bespells the scroll to lift from her hands into the air overhead, unrolling and revealing its contents to the room.
