Rider has strangely enough lost his temper a handful of time. As much as he claims to be cold & uncaring, he gets very upset when he thinks others have been hurt because of him.
But what angers him above all else is any attempt to enslave or use other beings, whether or not- 1/2

Oh boy.
• She has a temper and has slapped people.
• She is an alcoholic
• She has a codependent personality
• She killed her father... admittedly he was trying to devour her at the time (werewolf)

I mean the default answer here is ALL THE TIME, use the antlers & fangs & claws ALL THE TIME until no fascists are left.
May the forest grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to sharpen my antlers & fangs, and the wisdom to know when to use them.

reframing my ghost mystery as a comedy would feel more like 1995’s Casper since it’s focused on a human and a ghost.
My WIP is not a lightheaded ghost story tho.

What tempts your character?
If you had to convince them to do something they didn't really want to do, like getting a dog to take a bath using cheese, what would you use?
Would it be cheese?

The antagonist loves the stage and the stage loves him! He's a born performer. His apartment is basically a theatre set designed to help him wow and empty the pockets of his guests. On the contrary, the protagonist loves any place far away from people, lol. #Lovember

Drohim climbed the ladder from peasant to socially admirable elite warrior for the gods. He tries to speak like the upper crust of society, mostly because his in-laws look down on him for being born poor, so his speech is an uncomfortable mix of urbane and the commoners' speech.

Hey #WritingCommunity, do your OCs have a distinct way of speaking? Do they use particular words or phrases? Are they formal? Casual? Polite? Rude? What's their voice?

If you want a fantasy about a chosen child fighting a dark lord, helped by a shady mentor and a plucky group of friends, but want it without antisemitism, casual bigotry, and an author who keeps funding hate- try Plight of the Last Paladin! Skip the boy wizard.
