After the Calling

It is an equal failing to trust everyone, and to trust noone.

Character Profiles

with one comment

So, I have been attempting for months to jazz up my character profiles before posting them, and I really just despise them. So I’m going to scrap them.  INSTEAD, I’ve decided to make little background revealing mini-stories for each character.  The stories will be based on the character’s first manifestation of their psychic power, OR the first moment they actually became aware of their power, OR the first moment they realized it was actually a “power” that they had, and not just a fluke, or something.  It’s all really fuzzy, just go with it.

If they don’t have powers… well, I have yet to figure out what I’m going to do, so the psychics and the latents will be posted before the plain old humans or the artificial intelligence…ces…esss…s.

The characters outside of the main character will be left nameless, unless the target protagonist says their name. You may recognize some of the secondary characters, but there aren’t any true spoilers. Just certain facts that were either going to come up anyway, or will just help you learn a bit more about each character.

I’d really love some feedback on this, whether you guys think it’s a good idea, or if you actually want me to post some character traits.  We all know how I am with updating and schedules, but because these are a hell of a lot shorter than my full updates, I am going to try and crank these out a bit more often.

Very inspired by Mao’s Little Bits of Fiction, which prologues her phenoenal KiD and WoS series. And also by atomicspacekitty’s forays outside, above, under, and around her storyline over at Worlds Apart.

I won’t be posting in any particular order.  The first character story up will be Aeryn’s, but that’s only because her background bit was the easiest to set up, by far.  She can be found under “Characters” in the Site Trimmings category, or just click on her name above.

Enjoy,

  1. I think it’ll be very interesting and I think you’ll find it helps you with the characters themselves, too. The prologue pieces I’ve been doing have certainly help me build on my own little world and characters. :)
