You know how people sometimes call Star Trek "competence porn?" Well imagine that, but for people who became important at work on accident. I can promise you characters who are Good At What They Do and also Constantly Suffering For It in Fun* and Interesting Ways.

Okay folks of the #WritersCommunity, I have an interesting indie marketing prompt challenge...
Give us your elevator pitch, for yourself! What is your author brand? How would you sell yourself?

Ayo has short-term plans that often need to be adapted on thr fly. Thus is the nature of superheroics.
Lunere usually has *a* plan going at any given time, but despite their reputation, they're no "wheels within wheels" mastermind, just very good at seeing their goals through.

Does your character have a plan?
Are they the type to have a multistage plan worked out in advance? Do they prefer to wing it? Or are they purely reacting to circumstances?
Does their plan need to adjust over time?

RISE AND SHINE's plot just clicked together into a perfect machine tonight, so we're on the upswing as writing goes! Turns out I apparently needed to make it MORE complicated!
There were two epiphanies I needed. The first isn't spoilery, so I'll share it: there are now TWO corporate entities.

In a moment-to-moment sense, this probably goes to Iffy, who is the definition of chaotic.
In a fight or other quick conflict where tactics apply more than strategy, the answer is Ayo, who is always coming up with creative ways to use their limited arsenal.

For Ayo, laughter is one of the most important reasons they keep up their rather intensive PT regimen. As their mentor, Arshia Marsh said to them very early on, "why are we doing this if not so you can laugh?"
A physical laugh is always genuine. you just might not share their sense of humor.

Ayo: they have massive reserves of patience, almost all of which are used daily on themself, or rather their illness, which requires Ayo to maintain an incredibly measured, deliberate pace with almost everything they do.
Since all their patience is reserved for that, Ayo winds up seeming impulsive

Ayo almost always baffles, not least because there's a good chance the first impression often involves an unlikely rescue.
But they're also a visibly disabled, hijab-wearing, signing, brown person in basically St Louis with a habit of asking a LOT of questions. Average citizen comes away confused.

And it's built around the idea that woman deserve happy intimate relationships.

In HOMEBOUND, Ayo is known as the "Wizard of Cahokia" for good reason. They have a habit of appearing, seemingly out of nowhere, doing something that seems to the untrained eye quite a bit like magic, and then vanishing. Wizard shit.

It's either Jamil or Marsh. Jamil is VISIBLY have the most fun, but one could argue that he's hamming it up as a defense mechanism. Marsh has a lot less angst to deal with than Jamil, so her baseline is probably a bit higher, but she's also offscreen for most of the book...
