For CHD:

Both of them are scared of change in different ways.
E has a fatalistic streak. It's easier for him to accept doom than step out of his familiar hell.
C never gives up, desperately clinging even to things that hurt her.

This is a ghost story :)

For Am: recognition, an appreciation of her efforts. If it furthers her career and gives her interesting projects to work on, she'll consider it

For Val: his only true temptation is something only a very powerful entity can promise him. Otherwise, tough luck, there's not much to tempt him with.

One of my favorite details in GOR is how Val starts the book talking in the most roundabout and polite way possible, and as the plot goes on, he starts filtering his words less, eventually to the point of actual honestly. He doesn't even curse until the middle of the book.

71k. I'm CLOSE.

In ABYSS, Eishan is *very* proactive and obsessed with whichever task she sets her mind to (to the point of damaging her health)

Reis is much more chill and will take care of himself better, but he has a similar streak of obsession he tries to hide

Saeth doesn't eat or sleep. More time to scheme!

Amaranthe is ambitious and focused on her work. Very proactive, unless it comes to emotional talks. Then puts it off forever.
Val might seem like a procrastinator at first glance, and he is on everything mundane (like eating), but he has been on a steady course to execute a 10+ year plan.

King Arlent, who lived long before the events of GOR, both saved and doomed the city he was trying to protect. How important that victory was and how devastating the doom that later befell the land are much debated facts.

In GOR, the story focuses on two disaster-siblings dealing with grief in very different ways. Val and Amaranthe mean the world to each other. They've also hurt each other in ways only siblings can.

In ABYSS, Eishan and Reis are platonic best friends. Would commit crimes to protect each other.

There are lots of small evils in this world's history, but petty economists and tyrannical kings pale against the crime of shattering an entire world.
The Abyss was once whole. Someone broke it. Whatever the reason, this cannot be described as anything less than an evil act.

ABYSS: Eishan would eliminate the main antagonist, although it might have consequences she can't foresee
GOR: Val... would remove himself from the narrative
TTFOD: Either one of the Fell Lords being eliminated would make the MCs' lives much easier
CHD: E and C would both pick the Saint
November 8, 2025 at 4:36 PM
Yes! Don't have art of them, so here's a random ABYSS pic.

The sisters Isadora and Ordalie were at the helm of a revolution. Their movement brought down the monarchy, but in the instability that followed, Ordalie was double-crossed and unjustly tried & executed for perceived dissent.

GOR WIP:

Val would simply not show up. He'd not open the invitation if it even reached him.

Amaranthe would go for job networking reasons, and if there's at least live music playing she might enjoy that. If it's a special professional event, she'll find her fellow nerds and chat about automatons.
November 7, 2025 at 11:05 PM
ABYSS: Eishan already has guns. The plot would be much harder if she *didn't* have any

TTFOD: MC has guns, can survive without them

GOR: Please don't give the depressed time-traveler a gun...

CHD: A gun would actually turn CHD into Silent Hill (except E and C wouldn't even know how to load it)

Hmm so many cool answers for different WIPs, but let's go with GOR!

The sky is black. Valeriy has never known stars, though he's read they're supposed to be visible at night. People chalk it up to the density of sandstorms and pollution in his city, but then why does he feel such dread looking up?
November 7, 2025 at 7:39 AM
Answering with TTFOD:

The previous deity in this world is now only known as the White Sun (inspired by white dwarves, emitting only residual heat). Nobody knows what happened to her, only that her sudden death was cataclysmic--until the current Dragon-God seized power.

Whether they're trustworthy or not is up to debate, but he does come to an arrangement with the MC of book 1 for mutual help.
Can't say much bc ~spoilers~ but he's very cool and theatrical, while also absolutely livid at the state of his world.

Yess! I love this guy, and so far he seems to be a fan fave too.
He only shows up in the later half of book 1, but absolutely steals the show. Saeth's referenced as an assassin, spy, and dealmaker. He's the captain of a flying ship, and whenever I get to book 3 (his POV book), we'll see the crew!
November 5, 2025 at 6:41 PM
Answering with ABYSS

This guy's purple!

The Abyss may be primarily blue, but all the MCs associate it with lilac, too, as that's the color of space magic. Wormholes, portals, spying 👁️, summoning objects from the armory of a flying ship... Those are rare skills, and Saeth is one such wielder

Bringing this back

In TTFOD, monsters are those who were once human but strayed from the human condition. They are so far removed they can no longer empathize or aid humanity.
Fell Lords and their Warlocks are monsters, sure, but so are abusive priests, divine monarchs, and God.
November 4, 2025 at 7:12 PM
Green, huh?
Despite CHD being the red-and-black horror book, the antagonist is primarily associated with green

If once Sainte Verlise's green robes symbolised abundance and nature, they are now verdigris. Fading pigments, ancient statues, acid and poison. She is memory and the lack thereof.
November 4, 2025 at 6:42 PM
Addendum for ABYSS: the actual "Abyss" world-within-a-world was a monarchy of divine right that turned into... an eldritch theocracy? But the eldritch god is asleep and immobilized, so the world fractured into dictators and anarchists, is best I can explain it.
Saeth is my favorite anarchist.
November 3, 2025 at 6:23 PM
In ABYSS, the main setting is a democratic republic. They killed their monarchs a few hundred years before the start of the book and never went back.

In GOR, the story takes places in a city-state that's in a transitional period between a fallen constitutional monarchy and an emerging technocracy.
