Having digested more animation than live action, this casting will be more for voice actors that live performance. Though some choices are also applicable to a LA production.
Imagine your book is being adapted for TV/film. Are there actors who fit what you pictured for your leads? How about secondary characters? Feel free to pick anyone, alive or dead, to give us a sense of the vibes for your dream cast!

Given the main antagonist is the God of Fear, this is a question I have to make note of for any encounter with him.
What is something that scares your character?
Do they have any phobias?
It could be something existential or something mundane. Whatever gets them anxious.

Figurines would be cool.
Being a tabletop person, a deck builder game or a miniatures skirmish game feel like fun ideas.
Bayanai and Ziji would be getting plushes, no doubt.
Your WIP is getting its own bookish merch! Tell us about an item you’d love to see made real. A heat-activated mug with a changing memorable quote? Or something a bit more out there… villain-endorsed candy heart poison tablets, perhaps?

If the Aspects and the Fateweavers aren’t found families, I don’t know what they are.
Though, I’d definitely say that the Aspects lean much harder into family part of found family.
For our final Tuesday, I chose one of my favorite tropes, featured in many genres.
Does your WIP have a found family, whether it’s an established group of ride-or-die friends or a ragtag team of miscreants with a shared goal? Tell us about them!

Kex — slept through alarm and didn’t rush through morning routine
Adal — “What happened in my bed stays there.” *Wink Wink Nudge Nudge Say no more* (Actually just over slept for no reason)
Kumari — Making sure everyone else was ready

After so long covering a story directly inspired by W.i.t.c.h., Sailor Moon and Winx Club, I FINALLY get to describe the Zenith forms and the Primal Beasts.
TODAY'S QUESTION: What would your character's "magical girl" transformation be?
Would they dance around in sparkles and get new tights? Or seal themselves in armor and weapons bristling for a fight?

Kex — Always when she’s ‘fine’.
Adal — Outwardly a pretty honest person, but constantly lies to themself. Particularly with how much they care for the others. Trying to soften the ‘inevitable’. “Everyone leaves eventually”
Most everyone values honesty, but most everyone has also told a lie at some point. What kinds of situations or reasons might cause your character to lie? Would they feel regretful about it, or would they see it as a necessary evil?

I’d imagine two different directions the Aspects as toys could go.
Either action figures with a play set (the Elderwood is begging to have a Castle Greyskull style play set) or as She-ra style dolls.
TODAY'S QUESTION: What would your character be if they were a children's toy?
A teddy, a jack-in-the-box, or a dolly? A cursed furby monster that's supposed to be "jolly"? AND, who would want to play with them?

Given their nature as being soul bound to divine elemental spirits, the Aspects would probably be folk horror creatures.
TODAY'S QUESTION: What would your characters be if they were a horror movie villain?
Not just a "guy with knife" but a "I was impaled by a tree trunk and walked it off" kind of villain?

Here’s the roster (sans Sati because I don’t have art of her yet).
From left to right…
Xaawo, Kumari, Kex, Elohi, Adal, Nol, Gadisa and Elytheon
If they were reincarnated as an animal, plant, or object, what would they be?

Nol — “Black Iron Spire”
TODAY'S QUESTION: What would be your character's signature anime attack move they would shout the name of?
"Ka-me-ha-me-ha" is taken, so is "spirit gun", so make up something silly. Remember to have fun!

This is going to be a lot.
The Aspects:
Kex — Very much her vibe and after the start of saga 3, she wouldn’t even need to fake the cybernetic arm.

Having a setting with prehistoric creatures really lends to these kind of things.
There’s hatchers, who are in charge of animal breeding and (if required) egg incubation.
Ranchers come in many varieties given unique livestock. Special mention to the megapedes.

Kex — “Having been raised by a T-Rex, she’s still getting used to peopling.”
Adal — “They assume everyone will leave eventually.”
Kumari — “Lived two very different lives, so there’s a lot of contradictions in there.”
I hope everyone enjoyed making new friends yesterday!❤️
Today you, the author, get one sentence to warn your character's new friends about anything they should know!
Perhaps something not to mention, or to remember?

Honestly, the Aspects have a codependency dynamic about them. Everyone serves to ground everyone else.
Except Sati.
That girl has been under the ice for nearly half a century. The others just make sure she doesn’t find the Mariana Trench in her little frozen over pond.

If I was writing a Halloween ‘Episode’, I’d definitely homage W.i.t.c.h. and have the Aspects and the Fateweavers go as their zenith transformations.
But to actually answer the question…
Halloween approaches! How would they costume prep?
Has your character had their costume planned for months? Are they buying it off the rack? Are they throwing something on last minute and calling it a costume?

Anarch, no question.
Ixen is debatable given he’s psychotic. But you can’t say the God of Chaos isn’t at least enjoying himself.
Antagonist day!
Which of your antagonists, major or minor, would you say is having the most fun?
Are they all deadly serious? Or are some enjoying the ride?

The Aspects:
Hardly a question that Kex would be into combat sports. She does have a tendency to go feral when the blood is pumping.
Kumari would similarly fit right in, given her background as a gladiatrix.
Your character is taking up a sport! Any sport you can think of, real or fictional.
What do you think they would be best at?
Consider: solo or team? Speed, endurance, strength or accuracy?

Paleotheos translates to ‘Old Gods’.
Paleo meaning ‘old/ancient’. Theo meaning ‘god’.
Paleo also has a cultural connotation towards prehistory. To Dinosaurs, the Ice Age, etc.

Fall would be a particularly important time of the year for the Elderwood. An entire settlement that is also a living forest (not ‘in’, ‘is’) is going to treat that with a level of sacredness.

#Paleotheos
So, to preface, Paleotheos use of multiple POV characters basically means if there is a language outside the ‘common tongue’ then it’s either translated on page or only described.
That being said, there is another language within the setting. Vaalbaran.
We're starting off real simple! Don't get used to it 😂
What's the name of your conlang, and who speaks it in your world? Don't get too deep into the history or purpose of it yet; that'll be Day 5!
Bonus: How much do you already have developed? What made you want to make it?

I actually did do a post a while ago (bsky.app/profile/zhuk...) covering the injuries the Aspects have received.
Considering it’s 7 months old now, some details have changed.
