the writing hub! - pushing it to the periphery

Can we post or should I wait?

Alright. So, this has to be Will C. Morgen, my main OC. I've used her for both fan fictions (The Game, anyone?) and I'm working on a non-fan fiction story for her as well. I fell in love with her character, maybe because how she was created. I literally dreamed her up. The story came to me, fully and completely (up to about what would be mid-way through book 2), in a dream. She was me, in a sense, and I gave her the name Will C. Morgan in my dream. She is my most well developed character because of how much time I've poured into her story. She has three stories, all so different and unique that I can't pick them apart and compare them.
So, I'll just do the fan fiction version. She started out, in the fan fiction, as a What-if for my story. It was as simple as: What if Will C. Morgen, on her way out of town, had taken the path that went left instead of right?
I wanted to know what would happen if I tore away her whole future. I wanted to break her, still have her be Will C. Morgen, but insane and evil. So: What if Will C. Morgen was evil?
From that, her past changed as well, her 'father' become adopted and the biggest factor to the clans destruction and Will's insanity. I invented Mixed Blood, a curse and a power, that would inflict her. (It's called Mixed Blood when the character is created by two mythical cats. They gain extra powers, but also go insane.) I created her power, which gave her a sense of immortality, and her 'sisters'. I split and destroyed her personality with that power, creating Marick and Oliva. The inspiration for this split was the series Morganville Vampires. I used the personalities of the characters of Myrnin and Oliver in Marick and Oliva. They affected Will's personality, because I started jumping far into the future with her timeline and far into the past, back to her parents. What would happen when her wayward personalities became one again? How would that affect Will? What about her 'father' Rattlesnake? Should there ever be a confrontation between them? And what about the whole 'evil Will' thing?
I added the fight between herself and her insanity. Her war with her own personalities and how to get them back. How to stop the progress of Mixed Blood and, the main plot, how to deal with the cats she had harmed. She destroyed lives, how could she deal with that?
It has taken me...3 years or so, to get to this point. Will is the most detailed and intricate character, who I feel my writing abilities need to grow just to be able to accommodate her.

I'd say my most developed character is Sunstar from Seeing the World in Black and Gold
Spoiler for those who haven't read the fic all the way

In my newest fan Fic, the most developed character is called Moon____
She grows and learns how to be a great warrior. She knows she isn't a genius. Yet, she knows less than she thinks she does. In the story you can see her grow and mature, struggling to keep her head on her shoulders as shocking news is revealed. A secret that she and her best friend know. It puts Silvermint in terrible danger, as cats will easily judge her for this. Moon____ is shocked when the secret is revealed and has no idea what to do about it. It could totally wreck the relationship between her, Silvermint, and Cindersoot.

Don't ask questions as I haven't even posted anything besides the prologue.

I read a book and fell in love with the plot. I knew I had to write it down with my own characters, tweaking it as I went along. By now, I've changed it so much that you wouldn't even recognize it. I dreamed up the characters, added some mystery, romance, action, fear, and suspense to the story. Moon was one of the great characters that latches on to my own emotions and drags them into the story. She acts almost exactly the way I behave, have the same reactions as me.

I read it an hour or so ago I just am in a non social mood so I didn't comment, sorry

Okay cool, I just feel guilty bc I always feel like I'm obligates to respond to everyone (not that I don't want to)

sure

*chuckles* Deal.

Okay, so this is for my series, The Game. It's from the POV of three different cats. It's going to be mainly romance, with some fantasy thrown in.

Rattlesnake is the leader of a band of rogues he can't control and who attack cats for food, shelter, and anything else they want. Rattlesnake is seen as a distant, evil cat to all the local rogues and loners.
Kite is a loner who lives with her mother and two brother in a barn. They live on the edge of Rattlesnake's borders and think themselves safe. That is until a group of rogues attack Kite's two brothers when they are out hunting and they are nearly killed. Kite vows to bring down Rattlesnake and joins his group to kill him.
But, slowly, she finds herself understanding him and falling in love with him.
Rattlesnake has always known of her divided loyalty and secretly visits her old farm and heals her brother. But unable to escape the group, Kite knows none of this. She becomes more interwoven with the lives of Rattlesnake's group.
Then comes Dream. The perfect deputy for the group. He can bring them all together and stop the attacks. Kite thinks that Rattlesnake will finally be able to set aside some of his time for her.
But she slowly starts to notice how close the two are getting and one day, when she finally tells Rattlesnake how she feels, she's told that he has never shared her feelings.
I haven't decided the name of the cat, but he's there for her after the rejection. She doesn't leave the group, though, not yet. Maybe she can find love with this new cat, she thinks.
She takes the ritual that will make her a paranormal (a ritual which gives you invincibility and a couple of other powers. A side affect is you can't have kits). But after this, she finds out she's pregnant, which should be impossible. Turns out this ritual was preformed on both her and the unborn kit/s (of her and mystery cat. Though later she will claim the kit's father is Rattlesnake). She has no idea what affect that might have on them, so she runs away before they are born, not wanting any harm to come to them from the few cats who still remain distrustful of these powers.
It's a complicated love triangle (Rattlesnake loves Dream, Kite loves Rattlesnake ect.) and has a lot of powered cats in it as well. It ends about there. Later we find out that the only surviving kit is Will C. Morgen. But that's a different fan fiction/comic.

Nope, no problem. I'm known, at least to myself, for writing cliches and giving them new twists.
Writing a summery is a little harder than writing the book, I think. XD I'm not even half proud of what summery. I can't capture the drama or the interesting fantasy things as well.
The whole paranormal thing is going to be a big puzzle and secret. It's very complicated, so I have to let little parts of it be relieved in stages. Kite will have no ideas about it for a long time, as it's a new power at the time of the story. Later, after the Feline War, it becomes something everyone knows about.

As you said, the writing will be. XD I just like reworking those old concepts so that they work better than 'squirrelflight and her boy drama'.
Thanks for the criticism. You're fine.

*rubs hands together* Never seen how wild my writing gets? I'm still working on making it coherent for others. XD But I need to stop trying to hint at things and state it bluntly. That's why a few things where confusing in my first fic, Mortality.
I'm also working on a comic, called Poisoning the Sea, which is also for The Game. Hopefully, as soon as I start writing the stories out of order and finish everything it will make sense.

hecc this looks p cool

my most well developed character is probably chaotic vampire (a fan character for a fandom called danger days) for some various rps and stories. she's kinda old i guess, starting out as a kinda not self insert but at the same time kinda was (i want to die remembering her early stages oh my g od they were bad) before really evolving and eventually blossoming into a thing of her own. her look has changed so much since i first came up with her, and she's now an ironically edgy (and she knows it and wears that badge proudly), sassy and sarcastic gal full of spunk and personality.

i do not have a set backstory for her, but the basics of what i have for her right now are that once upon a time, she was a battery city citizen, working as a camerawoman for the daily news. she escaped by the skin of her teeth, quickly being taken under a friendly zonerunner's arm. they become close and a couple years later the zonerunner dies (is ghosted), leaving chaotic a loner. now she decides she likes being alone because she is a sensitive person who gets attached way too easily to things, and it'll be better for her if she just kept her distance, which in different plots causes problems. i like to keep her 'sp3cial!!1!!' in that she knows the killjoys but doesn't like, crush on any of them lol if anything, in some plots she actually helps them hook up

i do not currently have a published fanfiction with her as the sole main character, i have some various plots but undecided on which one to do. but even if i do decide on a plot i really need to work on finishing up some of the other stories that have been on my to update list, as that list has grown rather long...

Dingoleap I read it and those characters sound really intense and thought out

By any chance have you seen the old show Wolf's Rain? It vaguely reminds me of that (though there's a LOT of differences)

*whistles* That is actually very interesting Dingo. After reading the challenge sentence at the bottom I read it and am glad I did. Those stories sound very interesting, as do the characters. I'd probably read the books/comics if they were at the library or sold in stores. (And I thought I broke my characters a lot. XD )

Thanks for the input, Brownie. I should actual do that... *goes off to write a few notes*

Well I really don't want to talk about Shadowface since all I seem to talk/write about is Shadowface but she is hands down the most developed character I have. I think it's partly because of how long I've spent time with her.

The first time the idea of Shadowface came to me was thanks to an encounter in a pets store. I saw a tortoiseshell chimera cat with these vibrant green eyes. I had never seen anything like it, and a few years later when I joined the forums I made my username "Shadowface" in honor of the cat.

I role played as Shadowface for a few years and developed her as a strong, independent she-cat with a nasty stubborn streak and a mysterious past. It wasn't until a few years into role playing that a friend of mine asked about her story, and that's where curse came from.

But from 2013 until now I've realized that my stories could become original works with humans, so Shadowface became Itzala Blackmore. Itzala because it means "shadow" in basque. And Blackmore because of her families dark coal colored hair.

She didn't come out of nothing complicated. It was basically just a lot of writing with her character and getting a feel for her personality along with her limits as both a moral being and a cat or human. Throwing your characters into different situations with different characters to interact with is the best way to flush out a character.

I guess with a few years of role playing and a almost 500 page novel that took three years to nearly complete, you would learn quite a bit.

Yep, I know, very boring. ^^' I'd rather talk about my lesser developed characters that I haven't spent as much time with but were a lot more interesting to create.
