asdfghjkl, paranormal mystery sounds so cool!

i would LOVE to hear about your favorite character you've created thus far (or a little list if you can't choose just one)! especially how they fit into the world you've built :> (i'm super interested in the paranormal genre, so i'd love to hear about your favorite character from that novel >:) )


Well, the characters were created based on my friend group!

There's Hazel Miller (that's my character)
Then Yelena Loomis, Atari Tempus, Alexis Sanders and Valkyrie Cain. They're a group of paranormal investigators called the Phoenixes. Each of them has a special ability. It's a series and each book has it's own paranormal creature or problem. Within each book are clues to a bigger mystery and they all tie together in the end.

Valkyrie is the leader. She's the founder of the group and loves her job. Her special ability is unknown to the team and readers (But it has something to do with fire ;))
Hazel is the daredevil. She's the one who leads the charge into the dangerous stuff and is sometimes a bit overly confident. Her special ability is that her hands are very cold and they heat up whenever she's in danger. The hotter her hands, the more danger she's in.
Alexis is the tech person. She doesn't like the action and intensity of the cases so she often hides out with her computer and helps from there. Her special ability is understanding code and hacking.
Atari is the onsite detective. Her and Hazel are usually doing all the gory stuff, picking up finger prints, etc. Her special ability is the skill to build anything, she's a great mechanic.
Yelena is the team medic. She follows along and helps any way she can. Her special ability is attention to detail (extreme edition) She can sense when the tiniest thing is off and notice the smallest details.
The first book in the series is called The Mask of Fire, and that's where we find out about Valkyire's ability :)

asdfghjkl im SUCH a sucker for the idea that valkyrie's ability is a secret >:) she better be so confusingly overpowered lol!
hazel's is giving me spidey senses :> cool power to have as a daredevil type!
alexis >>>>>>>>>>> thats my girl right there i already know it. im such a nerd for the techy character types that like to hide behind the screen >:) but are crazy hackers too????? yes please
atari (beautiful name what the heck btw)'s still sounds so cool ?? it this a paranormal ability, or just a skill to build anything she sets her mind to? im intrigued!
we all need a yelena (healer type) >>> especially attention to detail as a healer type is crazy useful!

i love how your kids' abilities tie in so nicely to your genre and the characters' roles! it's so satisfying >:)
"the mask of fire" is such a cool name (hinting towards val's secret ability im actually so hyped for you)
to question again (i mentioned it under atari's skill), are all the abilities supposed to be paranormal / superhuman abilities? so especially atari's ability to build, and alexis' ability to hack? the other three abilities sound like they could superhuman/paranormal but i am interested to see if atari's and alexis' are just learned and refined skills, or if they are superhumanly good at what they do too???

asdfghjkl either way i actually am so interested in this -- i used to read a lot of paranormal genre books back in grade school but since i graduated ive definitely merged myself with just fantasy/romance. your paranormal story is so exciting >:)
(your characters being based off of your friend group, also, is so based. i do this as well without even thinking about it sometimes)

      Yeah, so wit Atari's building ability its almost like the master builders in The Lego Movie. She can see everything she would need, how it would all need to come together, how it would work, etc.

      With Alexis I'm still trying to figure out how to make her ability seam more superhuman. Hey, maybe this group could help with that!

      yes yes yesss! i love atari's build. that is genuinely so cool :>

      and as for alexis, once this thread gets some more members (idk how long itll take but im sure itll happen :> ) itll be a perfect thread for brainstorming stuff like this :>

      im just going off of quirks/abilities in shows/animes ive watched, but theres a lot of techy abilities that could help out coders :> like a mind thats just a super-processor, or if you can see all the possibilities (like if she's looking at cameras and can see all the possible routes that the group could go and which would be best, or narrowing down the code for a locked door, etc). this would be cool paired with yelena's attention to detail, where yelena could just tell alexis all the things she sees and alexis could narrow down the best path to take in a little virtual mind-map

      ugh the possibilities are endless and im genuinely so hyped for you :> you make me wanna dive into the paranormal / supernatural genre >.< ive been working a lot more with magic (both healing magic and destruction magic) in my fantasy series :>

          What's your book and/or books about?


          i havent decided on a series name yet but im thinking something to do with a deck of cards, ive got a few in my mind but havent laid anything down yet.....

          but my first book is bloodborne, it's basically done besides a few touchups:

          main characters consist of
          1- ten [first main pov] (the oc ive had since 2012 and my namesake on cs), blood-artist (fullblood bloodborne to be specific) and mage who grows up an orphan thinking both his parents died before the age of 5 bc he was deserted and picked up off the streets by a lady who he claims as his mama, throughout bloodborne he's basically just grasping the mentality of having blood-arts, because he doesnt have his awakening until halfway through the book, and before that he's a healing mage. so a healer who realizes that he has an uncontrollable monster inside of him that, if his emotions get out of control, will kill anything in sight.....

          2- amethyst [second main pov, it switches between her and ten each chapter] (my sisters old oc that i stole when she stopped using her in 2015), grew up a blood-artist and the daughter of a militia general in a small town. her dad gets captured as a prisoner-of-war early on in bloodborne and her whole quest throughout the book is trying to get him back (with the help of the next few characters). she grew up practicing her blood-art / blood-manipulation magic but her mom was always a helicopter mom who wouldnt let her join in on militia missions, until her dad goes missing, so she's unaware in combat and has no idea what to do, and basically freezes up anytime anything goes wrong.

          3- halith (amethyst's eventual love interest), the heir to throne who was blamed for amethyst's dad getting captured. also ten's long-lost brother, also a fullblood bloodborne who can go psycho and he's super overpowered. basically amethyst's bodyguard while she's on the mission to find her dad, and he's trying to redeem himself so he doesn't turn out heartless like his father, tho he is pretty stubborn and antisocial, he has a soft spot for the main characters (especially his best friend tanner). also going on this mission to avoid having to stay back and deal with repurcussions of the war going on

          4- tanner! (literally me, my sona i just developed earlier this year), but not a main pov, just the comedic relief and a werewolf-type (called a watchdog). halith's assigned guardian and they grew up together as best friends. halith has always been overpowered and doesnt need protection, so tanner has never had to really fight?? tanner is a little goon who just tags along to be the emotional support of the group when everything's going haywire. he has a human and part-dog form. human form most of the time bc it takes so much energy to be in dog-form, but dog-form tanner is a cuddly little munchkin.

          ROUGH story arc: amethyst trying to get her dad back, and ten having his awakening and also learning he's royalty, then dealing with repercussions of his friends/family finding out he's a ticking time bomb. ten ends up tagging along w the crew and they run into a lot of hiccups along the way :>

          lol that was a lot
          but i am such a nerd for my characters honestly, and its so strangely difficult to wrap it all up in a summary that isnt telling every little thing that happens LOL

          im about halfway done with my rough rough ROUGH draft of book 2 that focuses more on amethyst, and it's called 'watchdog' :>

          i think i plan for mine to be a trilogy. one because theyre focused on king, queen, jack and two, because its my 3 main ability-using races(?): bloodborne, watchdog, and mage :>

              i'm new to the writers' abode!

              you can call me: Storm, Stormy, Nym
              my pronouns are: She/her
              here's a bit about me/ my writing journey:
              I have been writing for years now, mostly novels but dabbling in other things (one screenplay, a bit of poetry that will never see the light of day, some short stories, ect.) Here is an overview of my noveling skills:

              Plotting - 10/10, very good, love it
              Writing first 80% of manuscript - 9/10
              Editing WIP - 8/10, not bad but not perfect.
              Writing last 20% of manuscript - 2/10
              Final edits, feedback, distribution - 0/10

              That's where I'm at lol. I have one complete manuscript and probably three (?) that have over 100K words but never got finished. My current obsession is a high fantasy/romantasy novel that is currently in the plotting and world building phase. I'm kind of stuck on some things and would love opinions or thoughts!

              anything else? I am mostly just posting now to keep accountable/remember to come back lol, I am super busy right now between work/moving/being addicted to forum games, but I want to focus more on my writing when I have more time so this will help me remember!

              it's storm !!! welcome to our abode >:)

              my poetry ALSO will never see light of day.
              im proud of it in my own little grimy hands but aint nobody gonna see my emotional turmoil

              the 'writing last 20% of manuscript' and 'final edits' being so low is SO RELATABLE. ive written more words than ive spoke in my entire life, probably, and yet i just now finished my first manuscript. id be happy to help motivate you >:) and if youd like feedback, im ur guy fr fr

              FANTASY/ROMANCE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. so sorry im a freak and thats what my Bloodborne is >:) i will gladly listen and provide my feedback. ive been told far and wide that im quite a yapper when it comes to drooling and frothing at the mouth over other peoples' ideas (and my own ok)

              and don't worry about being busy !! anytime you get a chance to pop in you're welcome and i'll yap with you and share my two cents >:)

              its so good to have you storm :>

                  i'm new to the writers' abode!

                  you can call me: Chickpea or Hyacinth! I'm fine with either :)
                  my pronouns are: She/her, I'm also trying out cat/cats/catself.
                  here's a bit about me/ my writing journey: I've always loved making stories in my head (which I call "imaginings")! I think my first story was made with my sister. It was about a game called Star Stable that we both played. Nowadays, I make Warrior Cats inspired stories, general fantasy stories, stories that give representation to members of the LGBTQ+ community, the disabled, and non-human animals! I also love chatting about my stories, so feel free to ask about them! :3
                  anything else? There was a huge hurricane in my area recently, and I only just now got internet back. Just a random thought lol.
                  More about me -->https://prns.cc/vsmnc

                  My username is named after my cat, Big Kitty, or just Kitty, who passed away in April. My avatar is not a picture of her, it's just a random cat.

                  welcome to our abode, hyacinth !! (pretty name btw!)

                  first of all, i'm so glad that you're safe from the hurricane! scary stuff :< i hope all is well in your area!!

                  aaa i never played star stable but i know what you're referencing !! a lot of my friends used to play on star stable and i always liked seeing the huge variety of horses on there :> pretty babies

                  my first story was also made with my sister! we were both one character and we roleplayed a little story about knights and a civil war in medieval times, haha, it's super fun to think back on it :> we used to sit at the computer or pass the family laptop back and forth for hours on end going back and forth between our little characters.

                  asdfghjkl i havent read warriors in AGES, and even back when i read it i never got around to finishing it because i couldn't find one of the books, but i love that idea! im a sucker for fantasy >:)

                  i'd love to hear more about some of your animal characters! do you have all catlikes? or do you experiment with other animals as main characters, too? im psyched to hear more about your work, hyacinth!! its awesome to have you here :>
