Give me some time to answer these.
I shall return soon enough.
The questions continue
That’s definintely an interesting way to get into it
Do you think you would’ve gone into so much lore if you hadn’t come up with the pun? How long did the research take before you could really get into the story?
Love when those stick ![]()
What’s hell like in your stories? What about heaven? (assuming that’s what it is for the Angelics). Wicked Witch provides a very vivid image tbh
Also why melting?
The answers continue
Her power can be extracted but she’s never done it herself. External forces. So I have no idea ![]()
Uhhhhhh [opens excel file]
So each book is actually just a few days at most. Book 1 for Amneris takes place 5k years into her lifespan. Book 4 is 8 years later. 2 and 3 happen in there, plus Hathor’s first few books plus a whooooooole bunch of short stories because I need to set up books 5 and 6.
As for the timeline, trust me ya don’t want it
Why? Because book 1 takes place in the year 771,523,557,244. Yes, that is 771 billion. I haven’t gotten further than 771,523,557,369 yet. Everything after that in the file has a question mark ![]()
Amneris already had her Balance Keeper powers. Her personal power just didn’t activate because it never needed to until then, and even then it was an accident.
Never got into X-Men tbh
In a way
There’s amulets, spells, enchanted objects, etc. that can hold power. The only catch is they tend to explode when trying to take Amneris’ power because she just has way too much, much to the amusement of the people who sit back and watch the chaos.
The Five Forbidden Magics are Time, Space, Resurrection, Blood and the Ancient Elements. They weren’t always Forbidden but became that way after people became scared or people who could use them did stupid things. Time and Space became Forbidden because they’re dangerous af. Resurrection became Forbidden because it messes with the natural order of life and death. Blood and Ancient Elements became Forbidden because they were just too powerful.
Funnily enough, Amneris has none of the Forbidden Magics
Resurrection was used on her which is how she initially became Immortal but that’s it. Theoretically she can use them all, but this has never been tested because even she doesn’t want to go that far.
Tbh most of the political issues end with Amneris punching them in the face because “how can anyone be that stupid?” It happens quite a few times. Guy asks when she’s going to marry off her daughter? Punched in the face. Asked why she doesn’t have a husband who controls her? Punch in the face (Colt aka hubbie finds this one funny). Someone says she has anger issues because she’s a red-haired woman with black skin? Punch in the face. Say she’s emotional because she’s on her period? That one actually ends with a c–k shot. There are many more incidents with a lot more characters ![]()
I did consider that but decided not to go with it. The Deathwalkers are essentially given a new body just like their old one, only more of a “perfect” version. So no aging, no illness, no injury. Even if your head is taken off, it’s back on when you get the new body. You wouldn’t know a Deathwalker is a Deathwalker unless they tell you.
Yup. There are many afterlives therefore there are many domains.
I mean, I have photos from when I went last year of these things if you’d like to see them ![]()
Tbh I’m in the “I don’t believe in God, however if when I die to turns out God is really I am completely willing to apologise and say I was wrong. I will then punch God in the face because wtaf man” area ![]()
No, not really. They all have their own tastes.
I mean they give it a pretty darn good go in books 5 and 6, but no. No they don’t.
Not all my characters get happy endings.
Short answer: yes ![]()
They don’t necessarily have direct interaction with the lore. They’re more just . . . there. Part of the “Creation is huge” and “there’s even more Beyond we will never know about”. Sometimes they interact (eg Creation and Void, Hathor and the Vetlun, Amneris and the Void/Vetlun, etc) and sometimes they don’t.
Technically time can’t be stopped. Physics reasons until we find out otherwise. When I say “stopped” I more mean “slowed to the point that it seems frozen from the outside observer”. So because of this, assuming the person is ticklish, yes they would laugh
Because time is relative, you wouldn’t know it stopped or started again because from your perspective, nothing has changed. Only the outside observer would notice the difference.
Is there any particular reason he does this? How can he differentiate between person and not?
That sounds like it could potentially do damage ![]()
There’s a few different ways. You can store some of your essence, you can literally extract the memory and embed it via memory magic, it can be locked in the subconscious, twins can share memories through their mental link. These things don’t usually cause damage but, if done wrong, it definitely can.
- Misting is the magical power that people on Alagossia use.
- It’s magic that comes from the air or aether.
- Misting comes in four levels based on the aether dwellings and race.
A global organization whose goal is to help the world with it’s problems. They deal with wars, famine, crime, and more. KUA started over a millennia ago when a royal family got it into their head to change the world.
The first dynasties that came into Alagossia. The very first monarchies that were long created after the creation of the Lesser Children. They are the first major civilizations.
It’s been a hectic, busy couple of weeks. Finally returned to you! ![]()
I see! There’s quite a lot of fascinating ancient history in your world.
How far back have you figured out? From the beginning of time?
Where do these come from? Do you have lore for them? Do they call themselves by any particular name other than Void Wardens? How many are there?
I saw this and thought, of course not XD Humans always seem to ruin things because they get greedy or become cruel.
Tell me about blood-magic.
Hai (channeling Stitch)
Part 1: terribly wonderful cursed stuff included
I’ve seen all the movies. I just haven’t read the books and probably never will. Not because of the scandal. They’ve just never been my cup of tea. So, force meaning like a forcefield type of thing? Like how Hogwarts isn’t visible to muggles/humans?
lol, sure does XD
That sounds like all kinds of complicated for you the author ![]()
Well, I haven’t asked them, so ![]()
The risk of asking them is that then, by asking, they will know XD
A few years, as I said, in the parentheses ![]()
here
There’s a scene where Penelope, Mallord’s wife, says something along the lines of, “…and recently it was found demons aren’t all evil. They’re just like you and I.“
You know what? I don’t even know what they teach in schools XD Every character is either not in school because of age, disability, or because of trouble, and I only worldbuild as far as I write ![]()
Oh that’s cool. At least, it was close to what you wanted it to mean.
I find it so interesting that almost everyone I’ve been talking to about worlds so far has a “void“ realm. Why do you think people like “void“? Why do you like void?
I’ve never used the word in my worlds. For me, it’s abyss XD
Sounds like you have a lot of superpowers going on. Reminds me of Sky High, the movie with the kids with the powers, do you know about it? So, how do you decide who gets what power? Is there a system or you just assign whatever you feel matches them?
Eh, that’s an aesthetic thing, I think ![]()
There are people who will crash out on the capitalization of words, period.
I would’ve had more questions about class if there was a strict social structure thing, but instead, I just read your response and was like, “huh interesting“ and just absorbed everything and thought it was nice.
If some question about ordinaries and gifteds come up later, I’ll let you know ![]()
I just found out now that you have floating islands. How do you justify how floating islands work? Does gravity just not work or something? You can “because magic“ as well ![]()
Being told a thing and reading it are different. Tell me whatever you feel comfortable telling me
You can blur it if you’re worried about other people seeing it, or you can DM it to me.
I have a very good question. What jobs do people have? What kind of things do they produce?
Ah, yes, one of those XD
Thank you! (as you can probably imagine, asking multiple people about their worlds can be a lot in terms of information and things just slip my mind, and I don’t want to scroll back into the abyss [ah yes, see, there it is, I like that word] to find the info. Easiest is to ask
)
How old is Edin and Arden?
Who is the oldest person currently? (I can’t remember if you had people living to be ridiculously old ages…)
I don’t know what you mean by “embarrassingly long time“. I don’t think you need to be ashamed of not coming up with something for a long time because it’s not unusual to take a long time.
Between Roses had a totally different title in 2013 when I first wrote it, and I liked it, but it wasn’t quite…it. “Between Roses“ was something I came up with 10, 11 years later XD
omg XD
omg XD If I need a terribly wonderful idea for a terrible and wonderful thing, I’ll ask you for ideas ![]()
Oh hey, wait, I have one. Do you think I should keep a scene where a rookie policeman flings himself out of a building from sheer terror (after getting too paranoid about being the next victim of a possible gut-eating monster) and “gets skewered on a flagpole as if offering himself up for barbecue“?
I thought maybe it was too much and thought about getting rid of it
But, idk, maybe it’s not too much?
It’s terrible either way XD
Only if the women have corrupted souls. He doesn’t want your pristine, pure, angellic blood
Although he will eat mediums because magical powers are scrumptious.
huh. I thought it would be a little better in America (the land of free speech…more like the land of anything-can-be-offensive
). Certainly is a bit hush hush in Japan
Part 2: our characters getting along? included
I honestly don’t think Arden can last long either ![]()
Thanks! Psychopaths having a difficulty in fearing things is a recent discovery. I mean, there is a spectrum, but I watched an interview with a psychopath who doesn’t feel fear which is a reason why he can do reckless things like driving dangerously or going against the law. I thought it would explain why Richard isn’t affected by demonic aura like other people.
So, demons just walking around don’t give off demonic aura. They have to actually transform into their full forms to do that. Usually, they’re in a more subdued form that doesn’t affect anyone. This is how they’re able to live amongst humans without the humans passing out all over the place.
Richard being a psychopath came first. The first time he ever appeared as a character in the complementary story, he was already a psychopath. Then when I started writing his story, instead of following the media’s stereotypical psychopath-is-evil thing, I decided to do research and write a proper psychopath.
Intrigued. Charcoal had never met a psychopath before. And humans are entertainment, so this was the jackpot ![]()
What’s Edin like after it wears off? Is he emotionally and physically exhausted? Is there any other part of him that’s affected after that? Are there injuries he notices for the first time? Does it affect his hunger?
So, he already has this persona? And the curse just brings out? Or is having a sadistic persona part of the curse?
ooooh, okay, got it ![]()
I have no idea XD Probably?
I think you can answer that with these questions:
Who can go against what’s right? Who can be convinced to do something illegal? Who can go against the laws and rules of the world?
Will is a street gang leader and he does petty crime but also murder. Who can be forced into loyalty and who can be the one that will do anything for “the brotherhood“ and not ask questions?
I’m guessing Edin. What do you think?
Yep, this.
idk XD Don’t ask me! But it wasn’t any of the main ones that come up in the story multiple times.
Will wants the Red Circle to notice him. He idolizes the head of the Red Circle (get better idols, Will) and wants to become a member.
Heeey, I’m back ![]()
Answers
Idk. Which came first, the chicken or the pun? Richard had always been a villain with somewhat supernatural powers, so I might have eventually come to that.
I pants, so I researched as I wrote and edited
I guess then the answer would be “no time at all“
I always imagine it as having different zones. Might be taking inspiration from Virgil’s Aeneid (read it for a class) where there’s different areas of the Underworld.
It’s like a massive underground world with often fiery skies, but a lot of the light doesn’t reach the land. There’s stalagmites and stalactites, and vast areas of black rock with rivers of lava, and fire pits, and there’s just these extremely tall mountains of black rock reaching up to the land of the living. Demons are constantly fighting and scrambling up these rocks to get to the top.
There is one massive, gargantuan black mountain rock with an ornate carved throne fit for the underworld king. That’s where he sits most of the time and observes. He’s so high up that he can see everything.
I imagine he’s on a slight hill and the Underworld is like on an angle. The king is in the highest point and then if he looks out, he can see everything below him including the huge jagged mountains swarming with demons. Each demon prince also has their own throne from which they can see everything they own and command their legion from. But behind them is the king’s mountain.
Because it’s funny
And yes, channeling the Wicked Witch of the West ![]()
It’s too bright.
Other than existing somewhere beyond the clouds, I have no idea. It might be upside down. And the idea of “fallen“ just comes from “falling from grace“ or “falling“ as in “failing“. Or maybe someone wrote “the failen“ and someone else thought the “i“ was an “l“ and it became “fallen“. Who knows? I just thought of that. It would be funny if an angellic mistake was what created “fallen“.
Questions and a few things
Is there a reason for this very specific number? Or did you just type numbers randomly one day and decided to stick with it? ![]()
What does she think about all her powers? She has so many. Without any of the typical Amneris humor, deep down inside, what does she think of it all? (or maybe deep down inside, there still is Amneris humor?
)
ooohhhhhh, well, made me think of that particular one.
Maybe I shouldn’t spoil it?
with popcorn.
Are there a lot of these around? Who makes them? Would you be able to say how much power these can hold? And how long can they hold the power?
How can you tell if there’s power inside? How do you get it out? Can you get it out by crushing the thing?
Of course someone had to do something stupid! XD
THE Amneris has limits? XD Hard to imagine
Same here. Resurrection is possible if you have a demon or angellic, but it’s forbidden because it goes against the order of life and death, essentially. And if a demon or angellic does it, and they’re found out, they get the side eye from everyone and possibly punished.
lol
She must have a really tough fist
Oh NO, who said that? ![]()
Do they tell you? Or keep it a secret until it’s convenient for them?
Yes! Why don’t you dm them. The pics tend to length the posts by miles and miles ![]()
Channeling Amneris, I see XD
alright, I’ll take that XD
Okay so, from the outside observer, would it look like the tickled person is laughing in slow motion?
Cue the sloth from Zootopia
His name is Glint. He craves human connection, and is also really, really scared of people finding out who he really is, and he’s also healing from terrible trauma. He’s waiting for all his powers to return and it’s taking a really long time. Meanwhile, he’s having to serve a corrupt Lady ruler, being abused by her, and hiding his identity, when actually he is the actual ruler of the land.
He can only challenge her once his powers have returned (and yes, he eventually is able to challenge her).
The perspective. So, it’s like he’s seeing a scene through your eyes.
Also, he doesn’t do it on a lot of people. Just a few.
Oh yes ![]()
Who are the twins in your story?
@jj_tesla here and here (sorry, didn’t mean to skip
)
@Qualeshia12 you are here
Putting this here to let you guys know I have seen it and will get to you guys later.
