I have some “alt timelines” that would be fun to explore and if someone wants to write them I would make them official.
Mostly other’s setting are inspiration. But, writing a story within the Claymore setting would be cool

Might as well jump on the train.
Day 1: Beatrice and Mara were born in the Angel Lands (a cross between middle-east and Italy culturally). Roy was born in the Guild Lands, in a mega city called Corneo.
Day 2: Oh boy, B= ISFJ M=ISTP R=ENTJ

That would probably be Lisbeth. She goes through a lot of growth throughout the story but she never gets away from her way of processing things.
Lisbeth is one of my favorite characters. I wish I didnt have to break her heart for plot reasons

I'm not quite sure what to post, so I guess I will post the basic framework for one of my spell systems.
Primarily used by my characters Mara and Lip, the examples are simplistic and not really indicative of how they look in my head... but here they are.
(Also thank you to the guest host!)

Penchant, a maid employed by Alighieri, to look after Lilian and the Heirs. Being a Cantian werewolf, she has a strong instinct to care for and look after others. She is family in all but blood to Beatrice and Mara.

Still a little simplistic of what actually happens, but here is an example of a fire spell. The spell language is "object based", requiring spells to be written on something. (No yelling "Ignis!" here).

Gonna do a better graphic and example sometime soon, but here is a basic bare-bones version of my character Mara's spell format. This just one form she will be using in the series as she goes through her trials and tribulations.

Early concept of Roy. Hailing from the prominent Chester clan, Roy set out to become a Hunter of his own merit. (And rebel against Patriarch Adrian). He hopes to sway his clan away from a dark path. Art by @kuritsu60.bsky.social
