I had a hot streak writing the self-duplicating hero, Gemini, from my PRUDENT setting on #ThursThreads earlier this year and had the opportunity to commission this exquisite piece from @yumekiiii.bsky.social.
It's a lot of fun figuring out interesting ways to utilize and counter self-duplication.

My Original Characters' relationship with money?
As the most infamous pirate captain in the Known World, Cat N. Kinnery is pretty extremely rich. And she burns through it recklessly. Easy come, easy go.
Melody Fayth has no experience being the one handling the money, and worries she'd do it wrong.

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 6 #Worldbuilding #Fantasy #Writersky as far as I could remember, I've always been a paracosmist (one who creates/inhabits a detailed imaginary world). I was inspired by Wonderland, Neverland, Middle-Earth, Kingdom Hearts, Labyrinth, Spirited Away, etc. But most of all, Narnia.
Good morning #JanuaryWorldbuilders! A very broad question that I have no doubt is difficult to answer: What was YOUR beginning of worldbuilding? What was your inspiration? Your initial spark? Another work of fiction? Boredom? A powerful imagination seeking an outlet?

I created 3 werewolf groups; Lycaonids (bad) & Neuri (good). Lycaonids are dark grey with eerie white eyes. Neuri are light-furred with silvery eyes.
And Cacodemon (demonic) Werewolves are all male, the moon & silver have no effect on them.

No explicit werewolves in the PD. Closest things I've got are:
-Wolves (a sapient species of people called capital-W Wolves)
-shifter species, namely Dragons, Krakens, and Phasmida who can change their shape/size
-Magic-users like Tynan or the Kingeater who could take a wolf shape
