Val is the ultimate city guy. He grew up in an arcano-modernized and polluted city, the surrounding area of which is barren
Man's confused about grass and bugs when his time-traveling mishap lands him in [redacted]

Gotta go with the sad time-traveler for this one
Val's hair was originally a sort of blondish/very light brown, but he goes gray early. He also used to wear it short, but right before the book's plot, he stopped bothering to cut it anymore.

Uploading sketches through my phone bc wifi still down :')

Before GOR was called GOR, I sometimes referred to it as project Chronomancer.
So here's an older Val that I could see actually using that title.

For CHD:

Both of them are scared of change in different ways.
E has a fatalistic streak. It's easier for him to accept doom than step out of his familiar hell.
C never gives up, desperately clinging even to things that hurt her.

This is a ghost story :)

For Am: recognition, an appreciation of her efforts. If it furthers her career and gives her interesting projects to work on, she'll consider it

For Val: his only true temptation is something only a very powerful entity can promise him. Otherwise, tough luck, there's not much to tempt him with.

One of my favorite details in GOR is how Val starts the book talking in the most roundabout and polite way possible, and as the plot goes on, he starts filtering his words less, eventually to the point of actual honestly. He doesn't even curse until the middle of the book.

🔥 We're getting out of the footnotes this time!
71k. I'm CLOSE.

In ABYSS, Eishan is *very* proactive and obsessed with whichever task she sets her mind to (to the point of damaging her health)

Reis is much more chill and will take care of himself better, but he has a similar streak of obsession he tries to hide

Saeth doesn't eat or sleep. More time to scheme!

Amaranthe is ambitious and focused on her work. Very proactive, unless it comes to emotional talks. Then puts it off forever.
Val might seem like a procrastinator at first glance, and he is on everything mundane (like eating), but he has been on a steady course to execute a 10+ year plan.

King Arlent, who lived long before the events of GOR, both saved and doomed the city he was trying to protect. How important that victory was and how devastating the doom that later befell the land are much debated facts.

In GOR, the story focuses on two disaster-siblings dealing with grief in very different ways. Val and Amaranthe mean the world to each other. They've also hurt each other in ways only siblings can.

In ABYSS, Eishan and Reis are platonic best friends. Would commit crimes to protect each other.

There are lots of small evils in this world's history, but petty economists and tyrannical kings pale against the crime of shattering an entire world.
The Abyss was once whole. Someone broke it. Whatever the reason, this cannot be described as anything less than an evil act.

ABYSS: Eishan would eliminate the main antagonist, although it might have consequences she can't foresee
GOR: Val... would remove himself from the narrative
TTFOD: Either one of the Fell Lords being eliminated would make the MCs' lives much easier
CHD: E and C would both pick the Saint
November 8, 2025 at 4:36 PM
Yes! Don't have art of them, so here's a random ABYSS pic.

The sisters Isadora and Ordalie were at the helm of a revolution. Their movement brought down the monarchy, but in the instability that followed, Ordalie was double-crossed and unjustly tried & executed for perceived dissent.

GOR WIP:

Val would simply not show up. He'd not open the invitation if it even reached him.

Amaranthe would go for job networking reasons, and if there's at least live music playing she might enjoy that. If it's a special professional event, she'll find her fellow nerds and chat about automatons.
November 7, 2025 at 11:05 PM
ABYSS: Eishan already has guns. The plot would be much harder if she *didn't* have any

TTFOD: MC has guns, can survive without them

GOR: Please don't give the depressed time-traveler a gun...

CHD: A gun would actually turn CHD into Silent Hill (except E and C wouldn't even know how to load it)

Hmm so many cool answers for different WIPs, but let's go with GOR!

The sky is black. Valeriy has never known stars, though he's read they're supposed to be visible at night. People chalk it up to the density of sandstorms and pollution in his city, but then why does he feel such dread looking up?

Answering with TTFOD:

The previous deity in this world is now only known as the White Sun (inspired by white dwarves, emitting only residual heat). Nobody knows what happened to her, only that her sudden death was cataclysmic--until the current Dragon-God seized power.

Whether they're trustworthy or not is up to debate, but he does come to an arrangement with the MC of book 1 for mutual help.
Can't say much bc ~spoilers~ but he's very cool and theatrical, while also absolutely livid at the state of his world.

Yess! I love this guy, and so far he seems to be a fan fave too.
He only shows up in the later half of book 1, but absolutely steals the show. Saeth's referenced as an assassin, spy, and dealmaker. He's the captain of a flying ship, and whenever I get to book 3 (his POV book), we'll see the crew!

Answering with ABYSS

This guy's purple!

The Abyss may be primarily blue, but all the MCs associate it with lilac, too, as that's the color of space magic. Wormholes, portals, spying 👁️, summoning objects from the armory of a flying ship... Those are rare skills, and Saeth is one such wielder

Bringing this back

In TTFOD, monsters are those who were once human but strayed from the human condition. They are so far removed they can no longer empathize or aid humanity.
Fell Lords and their Warlocks are monsters, sure, but so are abusive priests, divine monarchs, and God.
