Is your MC self-aware?
Jokull is most of the time. Being the captain of the crew, what he does can easily affect morale.

Tezzy sometimes doesn't. When he's traveling with others he becomes more aware.

MC's favorite dessert?
Jokull will eat a cheesecake all by himself and curse himself out over it later.

Tezzy loves key lime pie. It was a dessert option at a wedding he attended and can't control himself if its around.

Your preferred book spicy level?
I don't actively seek spice in the books I read.
That being said, I dont mind if some extra spicy parts show up while reading.

Heartbreak in WIP
In Project Phoenix, Tezzy deals with quite a bit of heartbreak. One is a betrayal by a family member. Another is the loss of his first love. His friend Robin has alot of his own heartbreak along the way, not necessarily love related.

WIP love interest
In Project Phoenix, Tezzy's first love interest was Flamora. She was a mortal. After she passed it was a couple centuries till another woman came even close.
Aurora is alchemist and magic user. He is attracted to her intelligence.

Mc would like to be known for?
Jokull hopes he will be known as a reliable person and a protector.

Tezzy hopes he is viewed as an honorable person. Not only to the mortal realms but also in the pantheon circle.

Have you put any of your personality into your characters?
Yes. Sometimes its intentional other times not.
I have a side character in one of my WIPs that absolutely loves potatoes. They get sad when they crave them and none are around. #writersofbluesky #Sci-Fi #fantasy

Does your MC believe in soulmates?
Jokull does. Though it's not spoken aloud.

In Project Phoenix, Tezzy is a big believer of this. It takes him a long time to recover after losing his first love who was a mortal.

Romance in WIP
For Mielea's Lost, there is some romance but its buried in subplots.
For Project Phoenix, there is romance. Im currently figuring how much as I'm starting the next draft.

Can your villain be redeemed?
If Malcabe wanted to, he could be. Where's the fun in that though?

Setting MC felt weak/vulnerable
In Mielea's Lost, there is a flash back of one of the most traumatic times in Jokull's life. He wakes up to find his wife and children murdered.

How has your WIP changed?
Mielea's Lost has changed alot since its first concept.
-There was a villain change.
-Jokull had less empathy the very first draft.
-Added characters that originally didn't exist
-began dropping hints for future plots.

Memories MC cherishes
Jokull cherishes his memories of his grandfather and his first wife, Rachel.
Tezzy cherishes his memories of his family before his mother died and his father went mad.

A stranger punched your MC in the gut
Jokull would scold the person for trying to get 'social media views' and walk away.
During his younger years, Tezzy won't hesitate to beat the person bloody. Now, if the person apologized he'd let them live. #writersofbluesky #Sci-Fi #fantasy

Where do you see your writing journey improving?
I genuinely feel like most of my writing sessions the past couple years I like what I have been writing.
I dont fully have imposter syndrome kicked in the pants but its a great improvement for me.

Does your MC's attire or weapon have magical properties?
In Project Phoenix, Tezzy has a knife that has been his family for generations. It has fire magic but it has short range teleportation too. Which he uses quite often. He unlocks new powers later.

One flaw your mc hides from everyone
Jokull does have a flaw he keeps from most. Elaborating, would be spoilers.

Tezzy does have a temper. Most times he keeps it under control. There was a time he melted a man's face off with his magic.

Where do you draw inspiration from?
Dreams, books, movies, and video games mostly.
Mielea's Lost has some similar starwars tech in it. The jobs on the ship are very similar to star trek.
Project Phoenix, is set in my D&D campaign's version of Asgard.

Who does your MC look up to?
Jokull has had several mentors in his life time. His first was his grandfather. He raised him, taught him how to be a diplomat.
His other two mentors are Captain Jaxton and Captain Atticus. They helped shape him for his current responsibilities.
