Maria is not the most creative person. Though her immense skill in combat could be considered a form of art. She certainly wouldn't consider it that way though.

Is your character creative?

Would you consider them an artist of some sort, even in an unconventional way (like in combat or magic?)

How do they like to express themselves?

Maria is struck by a sudden, intense memory...
(Excerpt from FHSD Book 5: Burn Bright, Stand Together)
A single, deeply familiar chord hit Maria's ears and suddenly she was lost in memory. A small musical troupe, playing these same instruments in the Tarnished Varnish Tavern on Hearthea. Playing this same song. The light dim and warm, fire crackling in the hearth, rain pattering on the large, darkened front windows. The tavern full of patrons enjoying the evening's entertainment. Maria herself, sitting up on the rafters, hidden from view, but nonetheless present. The tall horned creature in the dark corner, watching over the crowd, making certain no dissident activities were taking place. It was holding some sort of small box. Maria had no understanding of its function at the time, but now she could understand.

Ryani gets filled in...
(Excerpt from FHSD Book 2: Sink Deep, Rise Higher)
Niarith sat back down on the bench, facing away from the table, “You know exactly what I mean. Don’t do it.” Mirideth giggled, “Oh dear, I wasn’t planning on it!” Ryani sat down next to Niarith, “Planning on what? Somebody gonna fill me in?” “Oh of course, darling boy! Now, your Commander is… she’s really very susceptible to certain… subtle forms of coercion.” Niarith laughed, “You call what you did subtle?” “Compared to other methods? Quite so.” “Wait wait, you’re telling me you threatened the bosslady? Didn’t think that was possible...” Ryani looked suddenly uncomfortable. “Oh nonono, dear! Not at all!” Mirideth chuckled, “I simply employed the use of hypnotic imagery, combined with a gentle yet authoritative tone, to convince her that helping us to do this was important.”

I don't know if I'll ever be over how much 'Stand Tall and Shatter' fucks as a title. It only just barely follows the pattern established by the other books in the series. Quite like the book itself, honestly.

It's weird that I'm full of various fluids at any given moment.
Like I don't feel like a bag of fluid, or even a collection of them.
Yet, I kinda am.
Ah, the horrifying realities of physical existence...

When you choose indie sapphic romance over trad published romance, you get an actual gay female protagonist who doesn't just kiss one girl then choose the boy. You get a wildly imaginative story that would never pass through a traditional publishing house.

Mirideth uses a small, heavily armed starship to... discourage some folks from harming someone...
(Excerpt from FHSD Book 5: Burn Bright, Stand Together)
<That’s it, back away. I’m sure you realize I am not unarmed. Off you go now!> The cybernetic said nothing, then turned and ran. The remaining woman followed quickly after her. <Thank you, darlings! I will kill you next time, I promise!> Mirideth said cheerfully, her voice painfully loud, she added briefly, <Apologies to any residents!> The ship slowly and carefully landed in the middle of the street. Every light in every building was now on. Some people had opened their windows to complain loudly while others stepped outside to see what was going on. Mirideth certainly knew how to attract attention…

I dunno which of my myriad mental illnesses causes it, but one of the most annoying things I deal with is the intense, unshakable feeling that any person in an image who is looking directly at the viewer can see me and is STARING at me.
I legit can't have an image like that on screen for long.

Niarith's encounter with Maria wasn't planned, not exactly
She DID plan to be there in that system, at that planet
But she was there to observe
To determine whether or not Mirideth was present
Once that was confirmed, she knew she needed a local to provide testimony
Maria ended up being that local

The only job Maria has ever had is the fight against various oppressors. She's never been paid for it, and doesn't exactly mind that fact. The fight is her life. It's all she's ever known. She doesn't exactly enjoy it. It's just what she does.

Or is it just a way to pay the bills? Do they dread going in on a Monday and live for the weekend?

Mirideth experiences her new synthetic nervous system for the first time. It isn't fun...
(Excerpt from FHSD Book 2: Sink Deep, Rise Higher)
Mirideth was less excited, “This is going to hurt isn’t it?” “Not while it’s happening! But once you wake up, oooooh boy.” She then jabbed a needle into Mirideth’s arm unexpectedly and her world went dark. Mirideth awoke to pain. Intense, burning pain, as if every single nerve in her body were simultaneously on fire. She would have screamed, but she couldn’t move. She couldn’t see. She was aware of nothing but the most intense pain she had ever felt. Intense light, the brightest light she’d ever seen burned through her visual cortex. It faded and the ceiling of the black market operating room came into view. The burning pain settled into a dull throb in every nerve in her body. She could move, hear, and think. The restraints released, and she tested her limbs. “Ffffuck.” Was the first word that escaped Mirideth’s lips. Even breathing, speaking, hurt. Every movement that could be felt by a human body hurt.

Well this is certainly less than romantic. Unless you're a freak like that...
(Excerpt from FHSD Book 2: Sink Deep, Rise Higher)
Maria could no longer feel any sensation of touch at all. It was a strange feeling, or lack of one. A robotic arm reached into the tear in her arm and grabbed at the inside. Maria looked away as it pulled back out, having… taken something. Other arms were doing the same inside the incision in her torso. Two saws came online, slowly tilting downward until they were horizontal, and at the top of Maria’s legs. “This is going well, Maria. You’re going to be beautiful.” Myrrhdta seemed to have calmed down. She now seemed genuinely happy with her work. Maria knew she couldn’t stop it. She couldn’t speak now, with her entire body numb. It felt like she wasn’t breathing. She wasn’t sure if she was. The robotic arms injected, removed, replaced. Over and over, everywhere at once. She wanted to cry, to scream, but there was nothing she could do. “Aw, are you scared, sweetheart?” Myrrhdta said, her voice gentle, “Well, you probably should be. But it’ll be fine. Just you wait. I mean, it’s not like you’re gonna exactly be you anymore anyway.”

For Maria, I just kind of built her over time with no real plan or inspiration. Weird way to do it maybe, but it worked out. Same for Niarith and Lolanene.

Linilth is informed of the extent of her injuries. Tantrii is more upset by it than she is...
(Excerpt from FHSD Book 3: Rise Up, Strike Harder)
Doc Marlnok lifted Linilith’s shirt, revealing tightly wrapped bandages, which they promptly cut off with a pair of shears they pulled out of a pocket. Tantrii hadn’t actually seen the wound yet. It was worse than she’d imagined. Blackened flesh surrounded a horizontal space where the skin was simply gone. Linilith’s spine was visible within, the bone blackened and distorted, some pieces entirely missing. Doc Marlnok let out a low whistle, “Shit… yeah you ain’t walking again. Not without getting some serious work done, and that ain’t gonna come cheap.” Tantrii frowned, “Dawn give me hope, Doc! Have a little tact when you’re telling someone something like that!” She shrugged, “Ain’t no point in sugar coating it.” She turned back to Linilith, “We can getcha a wheelchair for now, maybe an exo-suit, but that’ll be slow and bulky. Up to you. Regardless, I gotta close up this hole in ya.”

The gals explain recent events to the rest of the IIF Command Council...
(Excerpt from FHSD Book 5: Burn Bright, Stand Together)
Retild sighed, then stood up at the front of the room. He was silent for a few long moments before he finally spoke, “We got your comms when you were enroute, but we need details. What under the rising Dawn happened out there?” “Exactly what we already told you. The feds invaded _ out of nowhere, decimated the system’s defenses in a matter of hours, occupied at least Kowlia city, likely more, and then _.” Niarith said. “How?” Calmav asked, “How in th’ fuck did they wreck _’s defenses so quickly? We had that system locked down, there’s no way they should’ve been able t’-” Maria interrupted, “I think I might be able to answer that. When the attack began, I was in contact with _. _ told me that several of the weapons platforms in the _ system exploded as the 2nd and 3rd Fleets arrived. The fleets didn’t destroy them, they were sabotaged. OSD ships were present in the system before the attack.” Calmav stared at her for a few seconds, then slammed a fist on the table, “Fuck!” They sat back and crossed their arms, fuming.

Maria has a conversation with Niarith's mother, Hernelli Velnazrenak...
(Excerpt from FHSD Book 5: Burn Bright, Stand Together)
Maria wasn't fully buying it, but the older woman seemed sincere, and she was Niarith’s mother… She relented, sitting back down. “I apologize. I’m rather… on edge these days.” “These days? From what I've heard you’re never not on edge.” Hernelli laughed. Maria laughed nervously, “What exactly have you heard about me?” “Well, to hear Ni-Ni tell it, you’re the greatest woman who ever lived. Not her words, of course, but it’s the vibes, y’know. _. That girl loves you like nothing else, Maria. _."

Maria’s first love was a woman named Alicia Grenik. They met during their training in the Forsythe Rebellion, and eventually got together during a mission involving being alone together in the woods. But training took them in different directions, and they agreed that they couldn’t stay together.

It's February, so let's talk about romance just a bit!

Who was your character's first love?

Was it a positive relationship for them or less so?

How did it end (if at all), and how did that affect them?

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

Maria participates in a space battle...
(Excerpt from FHSD Book 4: Stand Tall and Shatter)
Maria stepped across the cockpit to a console she’d used many times before. An array of switches and sliders sat before her, as well as a single screen, showing the view from a camera connected to the Epsilon VII’s twin ‘Lil Gal’ railguns. Maria immediately began a scan for targets, and the closest, still two thousand kilometers away, was outlined in red. It was a scout ship similar to their own, but a full generation older. She slid the load slider for Gun One to half, and flicked its fire switch. After taking a second to charge, the gun fired. A streak of yellow-orange light lanced across the void, contacting the scout ship and blowing straight through it. Liquid metal sprayed in all directions, as did the mangled bodies of soldiers from inside the craft.

"the vast majority of you won't have to worry about this" I don't even fucking care if it turns out it's only three people that have to worry about this, it shouldn't be implemented, period. Keep cancelling your Nitro, they're clearly noticing
legendofnerd.bsky.social Brian M @legendofnerd.bsky.social · 10d
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults. And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!
