A name I threw out there. Though she is also one of my characters.

Oh, lol. I'm honestly surprised I don't have a character named Ava now that I think about it. I have Alia, Aster, Allsmaktig, Allie, Almix, Amok, Aaron….. I have a lot of characters in general…. I make too many characters……

I have a mess of characters

Averill, Dorian, Sol, Eben, Len, Nysaxiope, Chiara, Aria, Euric, the list goes on

Same. I would have at least a quarter of a page of names if I managed to name them all.

OMG. I don't have many well developed characters. I have Nykidia, Night, Flyn, Chesh, Ava, Zara, and Marco.

Hah Eben and Len are so underdeveloped they're really just names

Alia, Aster, Allsmaktig, Allie Rylet, Almix, Amok, Aaron, Ben Wilson, Ira Illison, Iden, Rayden, Nicholas, Oridone Lonari Scrap, Zara Scrap, Riveal Harley Scrap, Ellieson, Moshi, Dr. Speckles, Bane, Strike, General Shaler, Bennet Birchly, James, Wayld, Ria, Julivier, Cassie, Peter, Beri, Riley, Freakshow, Firo, Calico, Pish(Don't let family members name characters), Jack/Revi, Ruth, Petal, Ren, Pegg, Fallien, Maki Mountainhill, Mabeline, Quest, Jakie, Alaine, Ru, Richard, Mille Wilson, Ellis Larkier, Mr. Noodle

I've had a few years to make this many developed characters… I make sure each one has at least a basic backstory, even if they're just background characters. I have 4-5 that aren't here because I'm still choosing names for them, and others that are shared characters…

OMG. How?????????

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……. I make time for world building, started the project a while ago, and have irl friends that help me. One of their projects is actually in the realm my plot takes place in. About half my main protagonists are gone by the time it reaches climax though, the other half having to literally fight or die trying going against my 'villain'(They become the hero in the second arc). Theeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnn it all goes downhill in act three and all of a sudden everything points to you being the villain. I like making everything have a purpose and meaning and go overboard with stuff as a consequence. Which is also why I ramble.

Or you could just say……. MAGIC

You have created so many characters and have such a good plot line. It's so cool that you have friends working this project with you.

Aw, thanks for liking the summary of my plot! Also I like working with my friends because none of my family is really into creative things unless you count my sibling making giant cardboard swords. I'm still working on it though, hopefully once I figure out where to place some events I can make it a script and try to animate it.

I have too many charries to where I don't know what to do with them all ._.

Most of the ones I have are background or one time show characters, others I just stick in the background. What kind of plot are you trying to make? Mine's a weird hybrid of Fantasy, Horror, and some sci-fi because science still exist for those without magic. Oh… I forgot to mention my Bita-8 character.

I mostly do short stories. Though Nearly all are fantasy, focusing on my dragons.

I have a few Modern Fantasy, to sci-fi fantasy

Have you put hints or events that link these short stories?

A few, like with the dragons

I do a lot of RPing in on a different site, which tend to help develop a lot of the characters.
I have a RP I'm actually trying to make into a long story

That's good! So long as it stays a passion you can really take your time making a plot. I didn't make my plot until a year or two into my (only)project when I actually found out the term was world building.

Yea, I have a good idea and whatnot, though my problem is getting distracted lol

Doesn't help that I love making new charries and creatures
I'm actually working on a new species as of now lol

Oof, that's a mood. I was just redoing my species Night Fearoses.

Ah, nice

Newest I've named Lacertaomin

Cool. Idk if you guys actually took the time to read all those names, but Ruth is a Night Fearoses. They're not friendly for the most part.
Wait… You named a creature Lacertaomin, or the species Lacertaomin?

The species:

The Lacertaomin are humanoids. They mostly appear human, until you get to their legs. Their legs and feet are completely reptilian, looking more like a lizard/dragon. Coming from their spine, is a long tail that ends in a venomous barb. Along their arms and parts of their upper body they may have patches of scales. They have a forked tongue, which they flick out like snakes to test the air. Their sense of smell, hearing, and feel are extremely sharp
Thanks to their powerful, reptilian legs, Lacertaomin are amazing jumpers as well as climbers. The claws ending on the toes are able to curl and grip onto even the most precarious of ledges. Though they can also be deadly with these sturdy limbs. The claws can be used to attack, lashing out with powerful swipes to strip flesh from bone if needed.
Though their most powerful and interesting weapon is the extremely venomous barb at the end of their serpentine tails. The venom is extremely deadly, killing attackers or prey in either an hour, down to mere seconds. There is no known antidote to counter Lacertaomin venom. Once you are tagged by their barb, expect death very soon. However, they only resort to their venomous barb-tipped tail if threatened, backed in a corner, and there is no way out for them. They will lash their tails in warning, and usually use their tail to defend themselves in combat, knocking back attackers, etc.
On their upper, human bodies, the patches of scales they have the ability to harden their skin, the scales seemingly will spread across their body, giving them an even more scalier/reptilian appearance. This 'hardening' adds extra protection to their already tough skin. Their human torsos are much weaker compared to their scaled and strong legs. But the skin hardening to almost scales helps to protect their human torsos. The age of a Lacertaomin tends to determine how strong their 'hardening' will be (older individuals are able to gain much stronger 'armor', as younger aren't as strong).

WIP

Nice!

I think I keep all the notes on my Night Fearoses in my head, but I have a sketch.

That. Is absolutely terrifying. It kinda looks like Seed Eater.

Seed Eater? The scary story one I totally didn't just learn about by searching?
Also Night Fearoses are basically the aftermath of a magic user being all too hopeful that they'd be able to get rid of fear. Not only did they fail, but now there's these things. They mimic the appearance of loved ones of whoever ends up in their territory at night, or those that have gone missing like the original Ruth, and depending on if they appear shadowy or more like tar they can use mist and shadows to make whoever/whatever is their next meal think their worst fear is happening. You're in danger if a hungry one comes across you, and can pretty much say your dead if a group stumbles upon you when you're alone.

Sketch of Mr. Noodles, because nobody asked for it. He's a part of my weird horror bit. XD
