#AwesomeCharacters

Nakine has definitely snuck off and is enjoying Italy, she wouldn't be interested in sports.

Mana and Morgan are watching ice hockey and hoping to see if the fights happen at Olympic scale (does that happen?).

Mori is... following his wife and son around but probably reading. 😂

The Night of Fallen Gods

To integrate a sect of worshippers of the “One True God” further into society, the First Daughter of the Alliance must travel to their Holy City, which no outsider has set foot in for two hundred years.

#BluePit📖 #Q #A #F #LGBT
A map of the Alliance of the Nine from The Night of Fallen Gods Imagine you live in a world where war does not exist, and war knocks on your door. For thousands of years the Alliance of the Nine has stood without conflict. All of its peoples, be they Dragon, Elf, Dwarf, Wyldkin, or Human, are able to live the lives they desire with their needs met. None are considered greater than another, and no path in life is considered beneath respect. Until 200 years ago, when another wave of Humans suddenly arrive in this world from another. These people bring with them their One True God, their Savior, along with a fear and rejection of the peoples of the Alliance, their Gods, and all that they stand for. After a city is built for them, they lock the gates and send out only a few of their number every seven years to convert any they can to their ways. Now the Sovereign of the Alliance, in a bid to draw these Faithful into greater society, has finally managed to secure their participation in the All Gods Festival. In exchange however he must send his only daughter as an envoy to the Faithful’s Holy City. And so Roderika, First Daughter of the Alliance, will travel with her childhood friend Arlo in the company of a Sister of the Church to Megiddo, Bastion of the Faithful. Her partner Tala and magic tutor Henet remain behind in the Alliance Capital, suspicious of the Faithful's sudden cooperation and determined to learn more. But all is not as it seems. Hidden machinations march the world ever closer to an event that will shatter a millennia old peace. Towards… The Night of Fallen Gods.

Maman Chimi likes her domain to shape her domain around her guests...

But when she's not around or has trouble reaching their heart it takes an interesting form.

#WritingPrompt
Tycho waited on the branch as instructed a bit confused why of all Gods, one based on Love would be so... dangerous. Especially compared to one's he encountered like Set who blatantly threatened him in Okashi's Moon Rabbit Café or Tiamat who... in general was a bit uncaring what happened to rabbits who served her. Drilltooth eventually returned to the pocket dimension. Drilltooth just gave Tycho a long stare, he could tell the Squirrel's mood went from rather pleasant to exasperated in such a short amount of time. The branch pierced further and revealed an... unusual domain. It wasn't hard to describe, just somehow more unusual than Tiamat's liminal aquarium laboratory. It was... pink. Like how people imagine a space of nothingness in existence being a white void, this was like that... but pink. Tycho looked below him. "Whats wrong?" Drilltooth asked, "Um... is this normal?" He asked, Drilltooth tipped his head. "What do you mean? What do you see?" Drilltooth questioned, Tycho tipped his head to the squirrel wondering what he meant by that... but shook it off. "Nevermind." He stepped off the branch. Surprisingly finding footing on nothingness, but as he did the pink burst off the nonexistant floor into clouds, making Tycho perk up at the sight. "What's wrong?" Drilltooth questioned a bit more concerned, "Is it... normally this pink and empty?" "Wait what?" Drilltooth stood up, "You're seeing things like I can?" He asked, Tycho looked at the squirrel confused now. "What do you mean? Am I not supposed to be seeing something?" Tycho asked, Drilltooth looked around concerned. "No, Chimi just normally isn't that... open on first encounters with new rabbits or... maybe she's actually not here..?" Drilltooth questioned as he looked around. Tycho turned, and was flashbanged with a sudden shift in environment, he blinked and shook his head. When he opened his eyes... it was what he thought he saw... Moon Rabbit Café in Ame. "What the hell-?"

#FantasyIndiesFebruary Day 9 What would your MC like to be known for?

Lamya is weird.. she always dreamed of being a hero, but because of circumstances thinks that's no longer possible, so she's fine helping people as she can.

That being said: She wants to be a hero, even if she won't admit it.

This is my diagram of the books I'd like to write before I die.

I have only two written so far, lmao. And a third one is almost done.

But I talk about characters from all over the timeline, so idk
Planned PD books in a weird timeline kind of thing. It's hard to make sense of, I know. I am not very good at making images.

Intro post! I'm Jae (formerly Jacqueline) Koyanagi, author of the sci-fantasy novel Ascension, among other things: jaekoyanagi.com

Currently, I'm deep into writing the first book of a character-driven romantic fantasy trilogy set in a lush, unusual world where divine magic abounds.
The book cover for Ascension: A Tangled Axon Novel by Jae Koyanagi (credited as Jacqueline on the cover). The illustration features main character Alana Quick, a Black woman with her hand on her hip, looking at the viewer. Behind her is the interior of a spaceship painted in cool colors with a view of a nebula and stars beyond. The cover for the audio series Ninth Step Station from Realm, featuring a textured background in cool, dark colors. The text reads: In the future, two mismatched cops must work together to solve crimes in a divided Tokyo: Ninth Step Station by award-winning authors Malka Older, author of Infomocracy; Fran Wilde, author of Updraft; Jacqueline Koyanagi, author of Ascension; and Curtis C. Chen, author of Waypoint Kangaroo. The cover for the audio series Ctrl-Alt-Destroy from Realm. The image features the old title for the series, Alternis, and the former name of the publisher, which was Serial Box. The illustration features main character Tandy Kahananui slicing through a video game foe with a sword, scattering them into digital fragments. The cover for the anthology Phantasm Japan, from Haikasoru. The illustration features the head of a Japanese woman who is looking up toward the title. Behind her is the Tokyo skyline, while flames emerge from her right eye and winged insects flutter around her.
