If Thoust my Friendeth Cometh to Speaketh of Characters and Beings Madeth up of Shadows

Yeah. Corru isn't as nice though. Until he's redeemed at the end for the second arc of characters he's very much upset and angry with the protagonists as well as Aaron himself. His plan is basically get rid of them by promising Aaron a chance to fix some mistakes he made only turn on Aaron as well so he can go through with his real plans. His redemption comes from seeing why some decisions were made and leaving the past behind.

Dang that was not the way I wanted it to go. Nice plot twist.

Thanks! :D What plot twists or secrets are in your story? I love exposing origin stories so I tend to have a lot. lol

Uuuummmm… I think I may of listed them all but let me think. Nykidia self harms, Flyn is Gay, Night has separation issues. Um other than that I may of listed them all. For now.

Those are good twists, especially when you don't expect it with Nykidia coming off as energetic and such. I tend to put a lot of twists in my stories because I love it when suddenly everything clicks into place and you go back wondering how you didn't guess it. I think my very first twist is when Corru meets Oridone and calls her an old friend in his voice that always sounds a bit mocking. Then I have others like Petal and his troops, Iden destroying himself with ghost fire to get rid of Almix, the crazy mask shop guy making Rayden an antagonist, Ruth having Ben kill Amok, Firo finding out the king covered up the death of his father to win a war, and other secrets that are exposed… Yeah, I like secrets… And plot twists…. And origin stories…

Holy crow. Those ARE good.

I've been working on this one project for 2-3 years. So I have a cast of characters that have had a long time to be developed, though I think the only ones who were never pushed to off to be side characters are Oridone, Riveal, and Ben. Everyone else was made to fit the story instead of the other way around.

Most of the themes are about a character losing something or facing something from their past. A while ago I mixed a creator vs creator plot twist plot into the mix and started calling the project Damaged Designs, in which timelines have to be merged damaging those in them as their experiences are mixed and matched to make them who they are now.

Wow! I have only been working on my characters for around 1 year.

You have so many characters and they seem so deep with so many plot twist, secrets and backstories.

Oof, that's because I've had a lot of time and love to devote to the story and characters now. You're doing better than I was my first year. I didn't even know the term world building and my art was bad, the world was basically a knock-off of games I was playing at the moment as well before I really got into story telling.

I don't have any art. I can't draw worth crap but I may have a friend that will do some for me soon.

My sibling thought they couldn't either, but they're trying and getting better slowly but surely. It's cool that you have friends that are willing to draw art. Having something to see, even if just one drawing, can really make it feel like a world had come to life while you're piecing the plot together. I actually drew the creators of my world once for a competition and avoided awkward conversations about world building by talking about the fact they're kitsune instead. XD

Ha! I just don't draw. Writing was always my thing and art was always hers. She drew Nykidia and Night once but this was back when I had them in the modern time and Flyn wasn't around. She is one of the first people I tell my characters about and she usually immediately wants to draw them. She's been wanting to draw Flyn for awhile but has been busy with art class.

I don't have art this year because I decided to pick all the hard electives for some reason. ;-; Anyways it's cool that she wants to draw the characters. Occasionally my friends and I will do an art trade but other than that we just show each other characters and discuss worlds. Like my friend has a kingdom in my world that trades with Caran and we make inside jokes all the time because half the stuff in hers was originally based off memes, meanwhile another has a crew of characters that have both serious stories and goofy adventures.

That's good that your friends and you can swap stories like that.

Eh, we can't as much since I home school now, but we still text and hang out occasionally. I actually redrew a character for one of them recently for a circus group we have since I felt my art improved a lot over the year and I hated the old drawing since I had messed up the line art. It was a simple monkey character but I didn't know how to make fur properly look like fur in sketches then. They said it looked fine but as an artist you're your own worst critic.

Home school? I shouldn't say this but I feel bad for you. I like talking to my friends. Do you like it?

Kinda, this is my first year and I honestly prefer knowing school friends in person. I've met some of them face to face, but that's a few days out of a school year. I go to an online home school as well, so it's just doing lessons and quizzes while trying to not get distracted wondering if an animator is streaming on youtube.

Also I've only been on notebook for maybe a few months or more at this point. Everything that's not here is on Google docs, including my script that's only the opening scenes right now.

HA! I would never get anything done if I was home schooled.

lol My mom has to remind my sibling constantly to do their lessons least they just sit around their area and do random stuff like glue crafts and youtube.

OMG. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

You find that far more hilarious than my mom and I when my sibling comes to us at random times to show cat videos or something. XD Also, unrelated to our topic, I'm confused who Nykidia is offering her hand to on the RP and also she has only given Night's name so far as I know.

OMG! Also she is offering her hand to both and near the being she introduced themselves.

OH, how did I miss that. lol I should probably post on the RP. But here's a character question if you want to answer: Who, if there are any, are the creators or creator of your world? I have this system where there's three creators, but then in the last story they become blank slates for the viewer who is the "owner" of the world as they communicate directly with the irl creator through messages left behind in binary(Like on my one public page).

There really is no creation or creator of the universe. There are several religions that have there own way of explaining the creation of the world but there is no one true answer.

Ah, cool. My world was made by three kitsune unwelcome among their own. So they created a safe haven for those like them, no matter their mythology, origins, or anything for that matter. Eventually Corru turns as he became outcasted and manipulated one into turning on the others. The story is known as Tale of Foxes in the kingdom but numbers that believe the tale to be true slowly dwindle down as the story was changed to serve more as a cautionary tale to be good. So when Corru figured out how souls work he brings back himself and Aaron to finish the job by making Aaron think he can change his mistake of betraying those he cared about by turning back time when really he plans on getting rid of Aaron once it's been done and ruling the world his way, thinking he knows a way to make everything perfect and keep others from being cruel like they were to him. Really this would just have the result shown in the second arc where the world cannot survive this loss and any recreation results in an incomplete world that seems empty despite having the same characters, it no longer holds the same sense of life.

Huh. That's a little hard to wrap my head around.

I make things over complicated because I like science and time stuff. I search stuff like theories about time not actually existing and the multiverse and stuff. :')
