MCs: Inazuma will do the polite thing and deny the compliment’s truth with a “Oh you’re too kind. I wish. Thank you” kinda stuff. He appreciates it but he was raised to be humble. That said, even he is a bit proud of his good looks.

#DecemberWorldBuilders I honestly can’t think of any for this one lol. I’m sure there’s something, but I’m drawing a blank for all of my works.

#DeckTheHalls Kind of a weird one but: the Lord of Anger, C.R. Upright: A lesser known detail about this form of evil is that he is often used by Heaven as a “test of God.” Whenever some mortal claims divine mission, if they’re even remotely serious about it, odds are they will-

#DeckTheHalls A shame I already did Inazuma lol. There’s a character I haven’t talked about yet from WIP 1, Raj. Raj is the current wielder of Excalibur (yes, that Excalibur). He joins Kathleen’s hero organization. On the surface he doesn’t seem like the heroing type-

MCs: Inazuma is the only person who can hurt the monster king and queen. He’s also very talented with Kendo. Nozomi: Even as a mortal, her skill with the electric guitar was legendary. She could outplay quite a few angels and demons alike (not that she knew it at the time). And its all-

I'm hosting an art raffle. Three lucky winners will get drawings of your OCs on January 1st. Have fun! 💚💚💚

#awesomecharacters MCs: Inazuma finished Japnese high school. He never sought higher education and joined the revolution. Nozomi has a few university level degrees in music and music theory, and almost went to law school.

Lore 🧵 from my Lich story about a minor topic. “Failed Liches.” As Demetre sometimes warns people, there are no short cuts to immortality. And attempting a short cut can lead to incomplete/failed lichdom. Often a fate worse then death. It comes in a few varieties. (1/?)

Obito Uchiha. The guy is escapism incarnate. He even admits as much. He’s as aware of who is really at fault for his suffering as someone in that would could have been. And he’d rather escape to a comforting but fake world than face the pain. And honestly, sometimes I get that.

WIP 1: It pretty much never comes up in this story. Evil politicians are more common. And even then its more incompetence or corrupt then outright evil.

WIP 1: Completely forbidden in the 7 Empires. Even the “attempt” at being involved typically carries a death sentence. However, there is one glaring exception: the blood labs. Artificially created humans for the purpose of being hunted/eaten as food by certain monster species. They’re less slaves-

WIP 1: Yes. But nothing that’s of particular interest compared to the real world. WIP 2: Yes, but also there is a particular class of demon that makes for really good servants. That said, you can guess that the price is steep. They’re exclusively associated with the circle of fraud.

This one I think most fits a minor character from WIP 2: Licentia (one of the discord triplets). Upright: He is named to represent discord of the mind. Indeed his presence causes people to have increasingly chaotic thoughts the more they’re exposed to him. Not insanity-

Tough. My answer is Doku, the Supreme Shogun in the 7 Empires. Upright: he achieved a lot. He is just beneath the monster king and queen in authority, which means he has the strength to hold that position.

Inazuma: Pictures of a certain somone. Nothing illicit, he just shouldn’t be looking for them lol. Nozomi: Oh she won’t use incognito mode. She’s got zero shame on her search history lol. The Emperor: if it mattered to him…getting old video game roms lol.

Drop some magic.

*Flips through all my side stories* How much time have you got?

This time I’ll separate by WIP: WIP 1: While not “prophetic” some magic users are naturally tied to spirits and will sometimes have dreams where these spirits are in the background. This often tells a bit about the character symbolically, but that’s it. Inazuma sometimes has dreams with Susanoo-

2D- FFVI for the best twist and “one of” the best villains in the series. 3D FFVII- For the soundtrack, the story, and “the” best villain. (Also Barret, the Gold Saucer, etc etc).

Gonna go with Nozomi for this one. Upright: Nozomi’s name literally means “hope.” Her grandfather named her because he hoped she would turn out different from the rest of the family. (Well…that definitely happened in a number of ways). She’s also a musician and thrives of inspiration. Her-

I’m gonna do this too, but with the caveat that I’m gonna try to do characters I love but don’t normally talk about enough.

MCs: Inazuma is lawful good easily. Nozomi is chaotic good. The Emperor is up to reader interpretation.

MCs: Inazuma prefers romantic, because he has a bit of an obsession with classical romance tropes and such. Nozomi is all about love. Her defining philosophy is “love without shame.” Whether its romantic love, platonic love, love for one’s work, a passion project, etc. she wants all kinds of love-

Ghost from WIP 3. A weapons system that became self-aware. Upright: he joined the military and has a strict sense of duty to reign in his murderous desires. He achieved the rank of colonel and never breaks from the mission just to satisfy his personal interests.

The Ancient A lord (Asae) from WIP 1. Upright: She recognized a change in the Empires with the monster king’s presence (before he became a king) and took a leap of faith by becoming his martial arts instructor and teaching him the ways of their stealth combat.

Kathleen all the way. To the point that Inazuma has some unadmitted jealousy. Upright: Kathleen worked for her power. She spent decades of her life training and a full lifetime’s worth in the realm of the fae working even more to refine her skills and knowledge.

MCs: Inazuma lies to himself about how much he abhors fighting. Deep down, he loves a good fight. The monster king and queen are able to see this in him, but he very much denies it. But at least, he only wants to fight for good cause.

On this note: allow me to recommend some incredible games that do not use Gen AI. Maybe there’s one you haven’t played yet 🧵:

The mind of a CEO is fascinating. “We are beholden to shareholders legally, but our success depends on consumer good will. So here’s a wildly unpopular decision” *backlash occurs* CEO: “You know what will fix this situation i’ve gotten myself into? Doubling down hard.“

MCs: Inazuma isn’t the type but on some days if he’s a little more forgetful, maybe accidentally. Nozomi has. The Emperor would never.

How it reads to me: “Guys we’re still using artists. We just don’t want them to come up with ideas. We have an expensive thingy to do that for us. Its only the idea stage…you know one of the most fundamental parts of creativity.”

WIP 1: Well being suddenly presented with a magic sword that appeared by lightning bolt changed a lot. He went from a young adult that expected to die for a hopeless cause to the hero of the world. But aside from that-

MCs: Inazuma prefers hot climates because it is good beach weather. Nozomi prefers hot climates because people tend to show more skin. The Emperor prefers cold climates because his machines expend less energy on cooling and get a slight performance boost.

All caught up from days 1-16. All characters are ✅ for interaction and RP. I’ll keep Demetre tame.

#char_roleplay December i did not forget. Just been busy. All characters will be from my Lich Story this time around. MC: Demetre Basarab I (aka the Lich) Antag (kind of) Grigoresque Basarab I SC: Claude, Camilla, and Collette BC: Jackie

MCs: Inazuma: About average for a modern day 20 something. He’s a bit above average for sea navigation but no expert. Nozomi: She’s pretty good with finding her way through a city or public transport systems. But don’t put her behind a steering will or in charge of a map.

The Corpse Demon easily. Upright: She is a walking calamity. A “unnatural disaster” so to speak. Though her behavior is cyclical, knowing where she is in the cycle or noticing the change from one part to the next is incredibly difficult. She can be as weak as a starving girl or a walking-

For the Sun, it would by Nozomi’s boyfriend (who I call “Y” for now). Upright: Joy and Success from the band. He’s a founding member and now is globally famous. Enlightenment by virtue of dating Nozomi who is a demon and revealed to him that both angels and demons are real. (He’s also slightly-

Video games.

A lot probably. I honestly don’t know because it all feels important to me.

13. But funny enough I didn’t use a fax machine until relatively recently though.

WIP 1: Inazuma’s surname eventually takes on meaning and creates both a new royal lineage and a very difficult legacy. In the 7 Empires the opposite happens for rulers. Rulers are usually expected to abandon their names and select a single name or a word to act as their name. The next ruler-

Terminator/Terminator 2 probably.

Across all my WIPs, only 1 named character. The demon named Frenzie. But it’s less of an imaginary friend and more a recurring hallucination. She is a demon who works for the Lord of Greed (who doubles as the lord of madness). She is on friendly terms with her hallucinations.

The Lich, Demetre fits this card most. I’ll start with the reverse: Learning magic and becoming undead freed her. She can do things most people cannot and suffers few permanent consequences. And arguably it allowed her to reclaim control of her “life.” But-

Oh I’ll do this. I sadly don’t have as much art as the OP, but I’ll still talk about them. ^_^

WIP 1: The Monster King and Queen are borderline heroes. They support many good causes: equality, class mobility, anti-materialism. They just happen to also think war is a good thing.

MCs: Inazuma is a native Japanese speaker (specifically Osaka variant of kansai dialect) and fluent English speaker. Nozomi is also a native Japanese speaker (Kobe variant of Kansai dialect). She also speaks fluent German and mostly fluent English. She is learning the demon language-
