Oh gosh no.
I routinely throw them into other situations. It's how I learn about them.
I still smile thinking of them fighting Imperial Ties.
"uhhh.... this is... weird... Do they not even have shields?... or armor?"
"Actually Jason.... no to both."

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Ok, meta question today! Do you think about your characters only when you are writing their story?

Or do you think about them at other times and in other situations, even if you never write about it?

I don't know if this is what you have in mind or not.
An "elemental dragon" can use a variety of elemental magic. Usually cast from the horns. I am unclear if she has breath powers or not (hasn't come up yet).
All others have a focus. I.E. a water dragon can use ice magic, but not fire or rock.

#NovemberWorldbuilder D2:
Xyera's fur.
She's an elemental dragon, so she is fully furred, and her primary color is blue. Most elemental dragons are lighter colors like that, though blue is pretty common for them.

P.S. I think the male tail bands have other uses, but the story hasn't told me what those are yet if there are. :P

Forest Wells @forestwellsden.bsky.social · 23h

#NovemberWorldbuilder D1:
The tail tips of Holdrens.
It's more than just a random marking. The red fibers are actually somewhat crystal like, and serve to focus/affect the energy they can expel.
Males have a band of the same fibers below the tip. Mostly used to put on a display to attract a mate.

A good writer and fun personality has been sadly lost.
I hope his family makes it through this tough time.

Resolute @resolute.bsky.social · Jul 15

Hey, folks. Might want to be sitting down for this if you knew @ofthewilds.bsky.social

He passed away earlier today. I don't know details yet, please don't ask, but his body was under incredible stress from multiple infections and was starting to shut down over the weekend.

Forest Wells @forestwellsden.bsky.social · 23h

Oh gosh...
Thank you for telling us. I was wondering what he'd been up to since I felt like he had fallen silent as of late. Now I know why.
He will be deeply missed.

Does your character have a rival?

Not necessarily an antagonist, per se, but someone they feel competitive with?

Is it a friendly rivalry, or more contentious? Does that change over the course of the story?

Maybe it's not about where they're going, but what shop they're hitting first, while the black gryphon is reminding them how broke they are?

I'm really really struggling right now.
I was getting a ton of momentum, then suddenly a couple of weeks ago, cold, sinus infection, and double ear infection.
All but the latter have cleared up, but I've basically had a plugged ear for two weeks now.
It's wreaking havoc on me mentally!

But it makes it hard to leave when something that is actually better for you comes along.

And still we do nothing but sanction.
When is NATO going to grow a spine and DO something?

🔴 Zelenskyy warns the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is in a critical emergency.

Russian shelling cut power, forcing it onto backup diesel generators—one has already failed. He urged the world to act as the plant faces unprecedented risk.

Forest Wells @forestwellsden.bsky.social · Oct 1

Well pretty much the crew of Gold 1 are happy where they are. They can do the most good being together there.

Conall has the biggest ambition of any of my character, and even that is to MAYBE, if the Creator wills it, own his own plantation someday.

I'll give you one of each then.
The first is Divinity 2. Not the turn based RPG. This one is more like Dragon Age, except no party, and at times, you get to turn INTO A DRAGON!
The other is a sci-fi starfighter game called "Kronos". It's not epic or long, but I at least never found the combat boring

Want something off genre too, or just not DA? :P

... Sometimes shipping makes no sense to me.
I live in the Coachella Valley right? I buy something from E-bay. It's shipping from Rancho Cucamonga. I could drive there in... roughly 2 hours?
So where does my package go first?
*drumrolls*
LA.
...
WHY?!

It's okay. We already knew you were a writer. ;)

The voice that does the best job of it will still win out. You might surprise yourself. ;)
Though I will admit, I can't afford much in way of compensation. So keep that in mind, but your name will go in the credits (unless you don't want that for whatever reason).

Forest Wells @forestwellsden.bsky.social · Sep 28

Wanted:
One #singer for a book trailer.
#Music track will be provided. I just need vocals.
Mic clarity is highly preferred! Though you'd be surprised what your phone or computer can do in a room with little to no background noise.
Please feel free to apply even if someone else already has.
1/2....
