I had a really good week for my gaming collection. I snagged a replica copy of Pokemon Crystal for free, and bought a second PS2 for 60$. Then a friend gave me a Gamecube as payment for some help I gave them.
Then my little sister gave me a Switch 2 for my birthday!!!

Ryvus was raised as a child soldier. He was going to grow up to be a killer.
Fortunately he was saved from that life and now just has dreams of being normal and having a family.
He has no regrets about how things turned out, but his training is sometimes hard to shake.

What did your character want to be when they grew up?

Did they daydream about a future career or future adventures?

How close did they get? Do they regret it or are they happier this way?

Ryvus is fastidious about cleaning and organizing. His place is sparse but meticulously tidy.
Mark never seems to find the time to clean. Her spaces are piles of clutter and things she's working on that she just hasn't gotten around to putting away yet but she was going to get to it, okay???
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

How does your character feel about cleanliness and order?

Are they neat and fastidious? Do they have a specific grooming routine? Or are they a bit of a slob?

Does it bother those around them either way?

Owning the physical media is important to me,
But I also get a rush of nostalgia looking at them and remembering the times when I played them as a kid.
Hey! VIDEO GAME COLLECTORS! Question for you...

💫Do you collect physical games because:

- You like physically owning your media
- You like to collect rare, valuable games
- They look great on your shelf and you love the nostalgia
- You're investing in games you'll eventually sell
- Another reason*

Pretty excited about my haul from @bluenosemontreal.bsky.social yesterday. I traded in some games that I wasn't using and got store credit enough to buy these gems, plus some other ones I've never heard of before. Breath of Fire was on my acquisition list for a while now.

Animals detest Ryvus. During the war, he wasn't allowed anywhere near the horses or they would spook. He wasn't allowed on the hunting expeditions either for much of the same reason.
He's sour over and decided some time ago that fine, he doesn't like them either 😤
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Is your character good with animals?

Do they interact with them often? Or at all? Do they avoid or fear them?

If your character could choose to have any animal as a pet/companion, what would they choose?

Ryvus' kind don't need a lot of sleep, which works great for him because he sleeps too lightly and can't fall asleep around others. If he runs too long on no sleep, it affects his concentration and therefore his magic.
Mark still has nightmares about the war, but sleeps better nowadays. Coffee helps

Let's talk sleep!

Is your character good at sleeping?

Can they fall asleep anywhere? Or do they need very specific circumstances?

Does sleep or lack thereof ever cause them problems?

@justinryans.bsky.social Hey bud; feel old yet? 🫠
Parasite Eve is now 28 years old.

And THIS is your reminder to GO PLAY IT.

It really is that good. It's a horror/sci-fi/JRPG hybrid that is still one of the original PlayStation's best games.

I can't recommend Parasite Eve enough. Do not miss this game.

Shut up and take my money
"What would you prefer an indie game where all the characters are voiced by the one dev who isn't even a voice actor?" Bro are you fucking kidding me? I'd love that. That could be a legitimate selling point if he leant into it and hammed it up.

Ryvus has been trying to ignore the outside world for most of his life. He's just starting to catch on that the few people he cares about are part of that outside world, and stuff that happens out there will affect him both indirectly and, more recently, directly.
What problem is your MC ignoring until they absolutely must address it? #WritingPrompt

Ryvus was a medic during a bloody two year civil war. There's very little that he hasn't seen, and blood, gore and death don't phase him.
Mark has seen her fair share too back then and accepted it then as normal. Now, during peace time, it's no longer an acceptable outcome and it upsets her more.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

How does your character handle blood, injuries, and gore?

Are they squeamish? Faint at the sight of blood? A seasoned pro who doesn't let it bother them?

Are they ok with it in some contexts but not others?

This was such a fun read. Want an off-the-wall concept that questions our relation to media? This is the book for you.
Three friends are trapped in their favorite 80s sitcoms, but it’s not all laugh tracks and dramatic speeches. The bodies are piling up, there’s no way out, and any wrong move may cause the end of the world. For Shannon, Mark, and Jerry, there is no “to be continued”.

Ryvus has no interest in making friends and seems to go out of his way to piss people off. For the most part, he has a superiority complex, and feels that most humans are beneath him. But he also is bad at emotions in general. Even when he wants to try, he can't relate to people well.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Does your character make a lot of enemies?

Are they the affable type who gets along with everyone? Or do they have a tendency to rub people the wrong way?

Do they do it on purpose? Or is it usually accidental?

Ryvus learned under Tennicus, one of the most powerful magic users to ever live. He's not as creative or skilled as Tennicus, but he just about can't be beat in raw power.
Over the years, Ryvus' endurance has dramatically increased, and so has his patience and emotional control.
#Febchantment Day 24

For your characters who can use magic, how were they trained? Did they attend a magic school, or study under a mentor? Were they self-taught? Were they just born knowing it?

Bonus: how have their skills developed over time?

In this book we have Ryvus, one brother; Jarrick, and his father Tennicus using magic.
We notably also have the other brother; Danny, and a new elf named Oz, NOT able to use magic.
In this book, magic becomes a liability and suddenly the powerful magic users find themselves as liabilities.
#Febchantment Day 23

Which members of your cast can wield magic? All of them, or only specific ones? Or perhaps none of them?

For those who can wield it, how has this ability impacted their lives? How has it shaped them into the people they are?
