Hmm... I wonder, if it would be a good idea to create some sort of faction system for my characters. Gives them a virtue to stick to.

I'll try to complete one before going any further. Maybe it'll open up some new ideas 🤔

I wonder... what would it take to write a short story?

I've always been fascinated with stories, but I'm lost on how people manage to achieve them. What's the process? What is the person's mindset? Their experiences? A lot can come to play here, making decisions hard 🤔

Spiralix and Cometos

Cosmic beings who are the best of friends! They're never short of tricks and stunts, and they're very creative about them too. That being said, the duo will back up any friend who needs their help

Glowdra

"Ah, he's a good friend of mine! Very reliable and willing to meet new faces. Just... don't try to spook him. That egg case of his gets brighter with his emotions, so if he gets too excited... well..."

-a blinded Cometos, deeply regretting pulling one of his pranks

Torelai

A thunder spirit possessing a machine. He seeks to liberate stained souls-- zombies, vampires, and the like-- to bring them to the Firey Heavens.

Of course, not everyone goes willingly. That's where the metal body comes in handy; it's great for "peacemaking" situations...

Permafrost Anchor

A large pick coated in ice. Legend has it that its wielder could use it to forge snowstorms in ancient bygone days...

1. The owner is very much alive. 2. He used it for sculpting and accidentally hit the ground instead of his project. Thus, winter came in august that day...

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire.
Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

Azuloros

A young spirit traveling from an icy homeland. He's usually quiet but will always extend a hand for skating and ice cream.

Azul keeps his eyes closed due to some tradition. People have asked to see them, only to hear, "I see the grace in all things, friend. That vision is enough for me."

Voidcore Longsword

A blade that can absorb light to create a pitch black edge. It's effectiveness lies in its ability to split matter apart without compromising weight, making it quite dangerous...

To say it can cut through everything is a lie, however. It cannot strike earth or dust. Pity

Novadrine

An astral dragon who embodies light, power, and authority. He dwells within a faraway star, claiming the surrounding solar system as his home. Any who seek to invade will be swiftly met with piercing Gammas that purify even celestial bodies...

Hmm...

Yeah, I should probably make an OC that better represents me. Might be a wise idea, eh?

Unwoven souls

Before any living thing is born, an "existence" surrounded by divine energy is created. The heavens shape these energies for them to enter the mortal vessel.

However, if they were to leak out of the heavens before then, Devastation would soon follow...

Behold...

No idea what it is, but there's something about clownish that make them very appealing

Let's start with a blade.

The Abyssal Night, a lance forged from dark and light, is an ancient weapon lost to time. Legends say that it absorbs the darkness of battle to create spinning luminous blades, allowing it to split shields and barriers in two...

Ok, apparently the straw wasn't a hit.

Might take some time to actually prepare something to show. I fear I've gotten an artistic rust 🫠
