Mostly IC stuff, not much going on OOC that I'd like to share .
I'm mostly doing this for the Cylus Character challenge, and maybe reserving it for future challenges. And also because, as an undeservedly, self-absorbed narcissist, there's nothing I like more than to rattle about my own thoughts and opinions on myself and things related to me, which in this case includes my characters.
Specifically Woe:
I guess the main inspiration behind this character was Severian from the book series, Book of the New Sun. An anti-hero in the vein of Elric of Melnibone, that comes from humble beginnings as a young member of the torturer's guild. I won't spoil the rest, because that's an awesome bunch of books that people should read if they can stomach dark subject matter from the perspective of an unreliable narrator. Also because I'm supposed to talk about a far less interesting character, Woe.
There's not much else to say about Woe right now. I tried to write him as maybe a bit more evil than his inspiration. I was surprised with one of the first threads I opened, where he decided to do a 180 on a bounty and risk going fugitive for a complete stranger's sake. I'm not sure yet if the bounty target was manipulating him or if it was a combination of Woe's psychological maneuvering and bad circumstances that threw them into the same boat. Woe is definitely gone soft way too fast, though. Maybe it's too big of a change, too early. Oh well. Sintra and Labrae will be displeased.
That's the weird thing about being dumb and also a writer, and also the fun part. You don't always know what your characters are going to do in the next post, let alone the next thread or season.
