Hey anon! It is a tough choice fr... Mai just provided some prompts for Mainzer, so here are a couple potential prompts for Juno:

Juno goes through a lot of trouble to find the city's underbelly. How are they received by others, and do they manage to hold their own? I sort of see them becoming cool on their own terms, lol...How do they carry themself? Do they present themself differently in different places? If so, how? How do they feel about S Corp?

How did Juno feel when they realized their parents had lied or been lied to about creating aboveground biomes? I would assume this work was where Juno began working with computers which led to their hacking skills and also was an outlet for their creativity. How has that impacted their relationship with their parents? With their own trust in the system? What happened to their family after they leaked S Corp's dirt and how do they navigate that accountability?

Hey anon! So sorry for the late answer! I just got out of my evil job...and am so happy to finally be able to reply!!! Thanks for your patience. 🙂

Sycorax is a pretty flexible character in terms of interpretation and I’m excited to see how different people write the character (which is to say, I really hope you can make the character your own). Something I’m looking for in an app for them is exactness and specificity within their backstory, personality, and the way they navigate their contending inner and outer lives—i.e. how do they view and experience their present + how do their past experiences/memories interact with the way they are both alone and with others now? How do these presentations of self differ? Sycorax is also the kind of character who is held back by/unable to escape the loop of their past; they’re simultaneously cocky and wrought with self-loathing. Woah!! And I’m curious to see how those push/pull dynamics create tension.

Some other aspects I’m sincerely curious to read about:

How was their relationship with their sibling like and how did it impact their relationship with themself and others? When I was writing this skeleton, I was reading a book about a woman whose twin absorbs their life and identity, causing the narrator distress over their loss of singularity and individuality, and I found it really incheresting uhuehue…I was also thinking about twin stars if that helps.

I feel like Sycorax feels both relieved and awful about what happened to their sibling. Now, they are their own exact person but overshadowed by their sibling’s death. How do they navigate that guilt/duality?

How does Sycorax feel about losing their career? Athletes spend so much of their lives playing their sport and their identity becomes completely wrapped up in that. How have they (if they have) reconstructed their identity/motivations post sports? And what have they being doing in the meantime?

Do they desire redemption? To outshine their sibling once and for all? Do they want to become a better/less selfish person or do they want to finally carve a place out for themself?

These are all just some things I was wondering about but I’m really jazzed to see different types of interpretations. I’m not hard on Sycorax’s narrative being one way or another so really I’m just hoping to see where your writing takes you. 🙂

Hope this helps!
