A place: Enaka loves & misses Ft Holpas that was destroyed in a terrible disaster. Their friends were there. Their sense of purpose was there. The culture they grew to love was there.
They also value their clan cloak w/ their loved ones' feathers sewn in.

Today's random #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity:
Is there something your character (main or otherwise) deeply loves that isn't a person, animal, or other creature? A food, an object, a concept? 🤔

I love my spouse & his encyclopedic voice actor knowledge. I see our kid watch Dinosaur King & hear Ash Ketchum's voice. I tell Spouse, he asks me which VA, I'm like ????? & he spends two seconds listening to the show before declaring that it was the new one.
Never change, dear.

Fossil eggshells contain radioactive minerals that can be used to tell how long ago those eggs were buried, a way to determine the ages of fossil sites that lack volcanic rocks. I’ll tell you more at NatGeo. 🧪

There isn't enough hate in Enaka's heart to sustain a revenge campaign. When they take revenge for something major, it's because they think the overall harm caused by removing someone is less than leaving them alive.
But they approve hilarious, petty vengeance.

How does your MC feel about revenge? Is there anybody they want to take out? Do they think it would be satisfactory? #WritingPrompt

There's a reason Enaka is the protagonist. Not only are they integral to the plot, but they're also fun to write & follow.
But who would they be without Theso & Cavid smack-talking back (affectionately)? They fuel each other & cover weaknesses.

Don't threaten me with a good time.
Predator Badlands is such a silly film. A lesbian wrote her toxic android fanfic into an Enemy Mine rift where a space asshole learns the value of friendship. A terrible Predator film, no horror, tonally camp.

BEFORE #EchoSight, Enaka had a close friend group for the 1st time while they were stationed at the doomed Ft Holpas. Kalju, Farah, Ikoda, & Cpt Ris were/are all important to them.
& their sibling-esque relationships w/ Hauk & Sacara in part made them who they are.

Aside from the phoenix sorcerer, Nuvani (a popularly controversial figure), the six senka Domains are by far the most commonly cited villains in history.
They're both historical & legendary villains as they raze civilizations & challenge heroes.

Hello, #NovemberWorldbulders! We're talking about morality in our fictional worlds this week. Today's prompt is the opposite of yesterday's: are there any characters in your world's history/lore who are considered evil? Whether ontologically evil or someone who made bad choices. Who were they?
