DANI YOUR SUCH A DARLING THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME TOO

HAH, thanks, it’ll match her picture. I’ll base my response on her current stats/backstory.

Raw power:    ★★★   Eh… she’s still learning, but she packs way more heat than your average villager. Especially with her magic, which is more or less a rarity in those parts. Unless we’re talking strength, because the girl is weaker than hard cider.

Formal Training:    ★★★  She didn’t have anybody to teach her how to use her magic. Her mother, the only other person around that knew to cast spells, died when she was young. Null taught herself using what scrolls and useful items her father could find. Since he was a criminal kingpin in the market of black market magic goods, it wasn’t too difficult.

Combat experience:    ★   She just set out and got into her first real fight recently.

Willingness to kill:     ★★★★★   Murder is always plan A. Also plan B. Plan C is ‘kidnapping and/or general arson.’ It happens when you’re raised by a criminal boss.

9. Which OC is an absolute pain to write?Most villains are a pain to write, because I have to work to make them unlikable. That’s not a super fun chore for me. This is a tough question for me because if I dislike writing a named OC, I cut them or make them more interesting. Landen is one I’m struggling with right now. He’s too flat for me, and I haven’t been feeling any motivation to develop his character. A boring answer, because he’s a boring character.

15. How do you name settings/characters?For characters, I have a couple of ways. I usually use name websites and either look it up by meaning (”Hmmm, gonna see what good ironic names for a vampire are… Bian means life, that’s hilarious”) or I choose a letter that I like for that character and look up all those names for ideas. For fantasy names I do the fantasy name generators for inspiration, and I use those also for places most of the time. One loose rule I have is that I don’t like characters with overly long, weird names, so if I can help it they’re either common names or short odd names (Fen, Ke, Tierr, Xi, Tala… all relatively short names).
