I'm not sure whether to reblog or make my own post, I'm gonna try making my own this time 😆 Last week's Writer's Wednesday by @wolkentage was:
Introduce your main character
Saxen, my favourite chew-toy. Having finished the modern day story, this year I started on the prequel so we're dealing with a much younger, much healthier Sax in a very historically inaccurate, pseudo-medieval, fantasy setting.
Sax is a vampire mage (in this world, vampires are their own species, born rather than made, and follow slightly different rules. Magic users learn how to wield magic, rather than being born with the ability). He's quite literally genderfluid in that he uses magic to switch between whichever body he feels like having, though his pronouns are always he/him. He named himself.
He is diligent, hard-working, observant, and feels things more deeply than his usual lack of expression might suggest. His desire to protect the people important to him sometimes borders on control, and he has a bad habit of deciding what's best for others.... very much someone with good intentions, but who often misses the mark.
● How would they describe themself?
This younger version of Sax has a lot more self-confidence. He would describe himself as highly skilled, but he is aware of his flaws. He just doesn't necessarily see the need to change them.
● And how much have they changed since the beginning of the story?
The prequel has only covered 2 days of story timeline so far, so he hasn't changed much 😆 His future self has the same qualities but they're all ramped up to 11, or forced to go off down weird pathways due to his ill health and inability to use magic the way he used to.
