#AwesomeCharacters Vince grew up in the city, so he knows where to go and what to do for a bit of extra cash. He also has a side gig doing certain services upon request 👀
Ollie would seek out extra freelance assignments as a professional coder. Or sell some old computer parts he has lying around.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
What's your character's go to move when they are short on funds?
Extra shifts at work? Ask a friend or relative? Plan a heist?
Or are they wealthy and it's never a problem? Or in a post-money society?

#DeckTheHalls Vince is def The Magician. He's described as being a chameleon of personalities and has a tendency to "manifest" things. Need a new car? He'll get ya a (stolen) SUV lol. Vince is also a problem solver, always going for the most direct solution... which may not always be the best one.

#DeckTheHalls At face value, it seems cliche, but this is our unofficial antagonist, Delfini, who is the third party involved in our main cast's scam.
Delfini is the fuel that feeds some destructive fires. He enacts a particular kind of control that's under the radar and very insidious.

#DeckTheHalls In this case, I'm going to name a place: The secluded cabin in the third act. That's the place where things get DEVASTATING and betrayal abounds.

#DeckTheHalls Another minor-ish character, this would be Ollie's father, ofc. He describes his father as a "brick-faced bulldog" and the title is well earned. Ollie's father is most definitely an oppressive presence in his life.

#AwesomeCharacters The nickname thing's interesting, actually! Vince really prefers his full name to be spoken, "Vincent." If it's shortened, he finds it irritating. But when they met, Ollie immediately started calling him "Vince," and for some reason, Vince just...let him get away with it. 👀 (1/2)
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Does your character go by anything other than their name?
Do they have a nickname, a pseudonym, or a title people use for them? Or earn one over the course of the story?
Do they like it, or prefer their name?

#DeckTheHalls I'm cheating and picking both Ollie and Vince for this card, since that's really what this story is about. They certainly bond quickly, feel safe in each others' company, and are working toward the same goal.
Then, conflict strikes, and things get... rough. 😭

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

#DeckTheHalls My main cast for PriCon is small, so I'll need to rely on minor chars for most of these lol. For the Chariot, I think that would be Ollie's oldest brother, Gordie. Or, at least, Ollie would (grudgingly) see him that way, since Gordie was definitely the "Golden Son" of the family.

#Smutcember #PriConWIP Okay, I'm super cheating on this one, because I haven't answered any of these (although I have absolutely been spying on all the responses 👀), but since I don't have any snippets of PriCon to share, why not this one?

#DeckTheHalls Hm... Subject to change, but seeing how edits are going in the current draft, this might be a minor character, Mrs. Cogpin. Her inclusion is the final piece that wins Ollie his target goal. But then this also ends up being the incident that sparks the beginning of the guys' misfortune.

#DeckTheHalls Well, that would have to be Ollie, embarking on a journey he never expected. Taking a leap of faith without really knowing where he was going to land.
Reversed: Anxiety for sure, and some naivety, too, certainly.

#AwsomeCharacters Ollie was stranded in a parking lot looking at his car engine. Vince walked up on him, curious about what was going on with the car, too.
At first, Ollie thought Vince was just "some weird guy." He had no idea this weird guy was going to be the catalyst that changed his life lol.

Tell me a bit about the first time your character met someone important to them.
This could be a close friend, love interest, mentor, etc.
Did they like each other right away? Did they warm over time?
