Mmm… so kinda like a smaller version of a tengu with some additional features? Neato.

Not exactly a tengu. Kinda like a human bird hybrid. The picture I added is what my idea is based off of

I also made that bird

?

I added a summary document thing to the group account just so yall know.

Also, I think we should work a little more on either the geography or actual story

Geography definitely needs some more work

So, I'm getting back to the magma mermaid after taking a well-needed break, which shirt color do you think looks best? (Sorry for the low image quality, it's a bunch of blurry screenshots over a blurry screenshot)

(I got the image to work!)

I like the deep red one in the bottom right corner. I think if you made the fins darker or smaller they would fit better with the I density of the tail

I'm a bit late but I like middle and bottom left, for a bit more contrast

Opinions so far?

Looks amazing!

It looks amazing!!

Friends, we should make a little timeline so we could start making the story!

Probably.

Alright, one important thing: Who's perspective do we start with?

Probably either the witches or the fae at first, then after like a few chapters of setting up the world and foreshadowing, yeet Taramy into the mix

I would say Taramay since she is the most main MC.
Then I would say one of the witches when they find her.
And after a few chapters, we would introduce Lunos, without saying his name and only giving clues that he is a northern Fae.

Or Lee's thing would work.

Basically we could do my idea, but once Taramy is introduced we stick with her POV unless we need to throw in another for extra details occasionally.

Okay.
Sounds cool.

Cuz at this point, both Taramy and the reader are in the same boat in terms of knowledge about this world, so anything could do really.

Ah sorry. I keep talking too much.

Ooooooh so how about we do that and then one of the witches feel watched and the others are like pfft no
but the very next chapter is Lunos perspective, watching them

Sounds good!

should we also make some form of currency or stick with a real world one?

I feel like they would be a trading society, exchanging metals like gold or gemstones for goods in the more civilized parts, and simply trading food for clothing, clothing for weapons etc in the less populated parts like the south, edge of west and most of east

oh cool

Makes sense

What if Taramy doesn't understand the worth of things and eats their expensive food that they were gonna trade for winter clothes to go through north and she's like
"You told me to eat something"
"THAT WAS OUR ENTIRE BUDGET FOR THIS TRIP"
