#AwesomeCharacters

#TheDragonblood: Felix mostly buses or bikes to get around at the moment, but might eventually end up with an electric vehicle.

I feel Aimetor would have the practical family minivan, for them and their polycule.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts (1/4)

#QueerPrompts 18

#TheDragonblood

Felix: Top of the Class in Physics, Most Dedicated to Not Let Absolutely Anyone Die

Aimetor: Most Honest, Most Dutiful to Gods and Country, maybe eventually Best Actor

#ThroughTheCracks

Skylar: Most Hardworking Volunteer

#QueerPrompts 16

#TheDragonblood: I was going to say Felix isn't much of a thief, but he does steal a magical crossbow from a sleeping dragon, hoping it'll help him defend himself from another dragon.

Does he grab any ammo for it? No, but that's besides the point. (1/3)

Felix: I'm just a guy who loves physics and wants to understand how our world works, currently doing a Bachelor's in physics at Cambridge. And I absolutely love anything fantasy, especially dragons! (1/2)

#TheDragonblood: Aimetor used to really enjoy doing impersonations when they were young. People found it disconcerting and saw it as deceitful and told them to stop. Aimetor has not done it since.

#TheDragonblood: Felix likes his routines. He needs to shower in the morning and brush his teeth after eating, or he doesn't feel clean and it continues to bug him.

#FantasyIndiesApril 9

#TheDragonblood: Felix takes for granted that Sabrina is well-intentioned in bringing him to the magical world. He's mostly right.

Aimetor takes for granted that the gods are worthy of worship and obedience, and that the Soulless aren't people in the same way the Souled are.

#AprilAdventure 18

#TheDragonblood: Felix is a tourist, at the start. He came to the magical world on purpose because he wanted to see dragons. He's mostly an onlooker, the perspective from which we see Aimetor's story. He may end up being a hero by the end; we'll see. (1/2)

#AprilAdventure 17

#TheDragonblood: When Felix discovers the dragons sent Aimetor to kill people (a group of Akewan thieves that had killed one of their own), and Aimetor intends to follow through, he wants no part in it. (1/2)

#AprilWorldbuilders

#TheDragonblood: We saw that dragons come into being through parthenogenesis; dragons lay eggs that hatch into baby dragons without needing to mate first. This isn't so much a ritual, though. (1/7)

#pretendpanel 18: I deal with war in #TheDragonblood, namely the upcoming First Akewan War. Now, I did receive feedback that the war plot point wasn't really making sense in the story. Why would the peace-loving Felix ever agree to do things that would help in a war? (1/3)

#WIPSnips 'fantasy'

#TheDragonblood: After a D&D session, Sabrina approaches Felix with a wild claim.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#AwesomeCharacters

#TheDragonblood: Felix wouldn't have anything on him that'd be illegal in Nemoria, but some security guard might still try to pick on him and confiscate his stuff, just because he's Soulless.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts (1/6)

#AprilWorldbuilders 17

#TheDragonblood: Dragons don't really trade with others. They mostly make their own gold and then hoard it, using it to decorate their caves.

They're on bad terms with the wyverns, and the two mostly keep their distance, but will quarrel on occasion. (1/2)

#WIPSnips 'duration' ('length of time')

We even have 'of time' here to complete 'wheel of time' by combining with yesterday's prompt!

#TheDragonblood: Sabrina has just shown off the portal to her world, and promises to take Felix there in the morning.

#WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

#AwesomeCharacters

It's been glitchy for me, too.

#TheDragonblood: Felix is going for a veggie pizza. He probably has a list of ingredients he always goes with on his pizza.

Aimetor, we have to go slightly AU for, but maybe a meat lovers.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts (1/2)

#AprilWorldbuilders 16

#TheDragonblood: Dragons usually live apart from human settlements, by their own rules. And they don't really have set-in-stone laws of their own, either.

Nemorian laws grant rights only to those who have undergone a ritual to be initiated into the Nemorian religion. (1/5)

#AprilAdventure 16

#TheDragonblood: Dangers include being Soulless in Nemoros (Felix gets accosted by some bullies early on), stumbling upon a secret fairy forest, getting attacked by dragons, getting sick on magical E. coli, being out of magic and starving out in the wild, and more! (1/3)

#TheDragonblood: Animals haven't featured prominently yet, but there are mammoths. The characters meet a few magical animals in the fairy forest. Also separately, some magical mosquitoes. (1/2)

#TheDragonblood: Felix rents a flat in Cambridge, UK. He also has a place back at home with his family, but I've gone into so little detail about any of that it's not funny.

Aimetor lives in Nemoros, the capital of Nemoria. (1/2)

#FantasyIndiesApril 5

#TheDragonblood: Felix would most want to travel to a fantasy world – and that wish comes true!

#AwesomeCharacters

Well, I did write a crossover story between #TheDragonblood and #ThroughTheCracks, dropping Felix into the ALCEFS and having them meet Skylar. The two of them eventually travel to Earth in Felix's time.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts (1/6)

Addendum: New question (this one wasn't there in November), so have more story language content!

#TheDragonblood: Since the Souled can tell each other's emotions and intentions from their auras, there isn't as much of a reason to indicate this with speech patterns. (1/4)

#AprilAdventure 15

#TheDragonblood: Felix is drawn by the mystery of how the magical world works, and especially, how magic itself works.

We also have the mystery of why Sabrina came to Earth to find Felix and bring him to the magical world, but I won't promise answers until later in the series.

And of course, I love writing, if you're counting that!

#TheDragonblood: Felix likes to sketch in his notebook, but doesn't consider himself much of an artist.

Aimetor's favourite art form is fashion and body modification through shapeshifting. They'll also discover a love for acting. (3/4)

#AprilWorldbuilders 15

#TheDragonblood: There is, of course, the god/goddess Missadeiuos, who often appears in dragon form, and who the dragons themselves take after. But Missadeiuos may not technically count as a dragon. (1/2)

#TheDragonblood

“Many things could prevent us from making the oath,” Aimetor says. “We are not in the safest place. There are fairies all around us that might kill us first.”
I let that #sink in. Maybe my initial guess was closer than I thought.

(1/2)

#QueerPrompts 14

#TheDragonblood: The story takes place across two different universes. But mostly, it happens in the magical world, in alt-Europe. So far, we've seen regular England, alt-England briefly, and then been traveling in the alt-Slovakia, alt-Hungary and alt-Romania area. (1/2)

#QueerPrompts 12

#TheDragonblood: Felix has just arrived in the magical world, and goes on a magic carpet ride to the town of Kalnivutos.

#QueerPrompts 11

#TheDragonblood: Felix may or may not end up with a pet Microraptor, tentatively called Blackwing.

#MiwwduSitsomSelkieWIP: Dave and Michaela have a pet Newfoundland dog. I haven't quite settled on a name, yet. (1/3)
