#TimeTravelAuthors D13
Silliest character
This would be Khasar, a young teen Mongol who is always trying to impress his older brothers by boasting of his prowess and showing off. He even hits on Sam, and tries to convince her he'd make good marriage material. (Mongols married young.)
Excerpt from story.
#TimeTravelAuthors Silly. The time door opens and a letter arrives! Arthur and Nat get a little silly about it. Unexpected! Whatever can it mean? Martin has to cool them down.
Sahar‘s husband, Daud, does not get much page time in Immigrants’ Journey, but he might be in the running for silliest character there, at least in the second half. And Emma’s eccentric friend Oliver comes off as silly, though he is a serious man. #HistorytownAZ #TimeTravelAuthors

I don't really have silly characters in STATUS GREEN.
Maybe the king, though? It is silly to suggest to your postpartum wife to go horseback riding, no?
This is King Charles VIII of France (1470-1498).

A screenshot of text: “Have you thought about what I told you?” “About making a change that doesn’t trigger the alert?” Raoul asked. “If there were a way to do that, you’d be changing history up and down the timeline, and we wouldn’t even know.” The ChronoOpportunist laughed. “A point for you, young agent. Keep looking, and maybe you’ll figure it out.” He winked.

#TheDragonblood: I think the silliest character has to be Felix. Missadeiuos, god/goddess of trickery, is a runner up.
#InReverse: Hm, none of my characters are especially silly at the moment. I'll have to see if any start to show some silliness as the writing progresses.
#TimeTravelAuthors 13: silliest character
JT and Soledad are both quasi-comic relief characters (though they have their serious moments, too). They only interacted briefly in chapter 8, but it was fun to have them together.
Excerpt from a story.

#TimeTravelAuthors D13 silly. Our Traveller Arthur is a lovely man with a great sense of humor that never has a chance to come out. His spy lover is attending the Travellers Conference in Geneva? First he is angry and then he is not, because he does love her, and their time together is short.
#TimeTravelAuthors Apr 13: Silliest?
Dave Strider tries so hard to be cool that he ends up silly, but the silliest character that truly enjoys whimsy is Jade Harley.
Homura Akemi doesn't have the luxury of being silly.
"Titanic Voyage, available now." Book cover with a floating, glowing porthole with a man walking the Titanic (?) deck and a light above him. Behind the porthole is a night sky, a silhouette of roller coaster tracks, and water. Arrows point at the image: *Slice of life + angsty romance + grief *Time travel via a struggling amusement park *Emotional hero, sweet heroine *Teenage computer genius sidekick *NO VILLAINS (unless you count the iceberg?) *Oops all cinnamon rolls *Maybe second-person? *Hopeful ending

Rocky's definitely the silliest person in Titanic Voyage. Pranks are his favorite! That's what makes it so gutting when--well, you'd have to read the book, I suppose.

#TimeTravelAuthors 13. Joaquín's grandmother is my silliest character. She has the kind of improvisational sense of humor I adore so much.
#TimeTravelAuthors 04/13. Silliest character
No one in #TimeTravelingGhost is what I would call silly. In "#Airisu: The Crow and the Witch," there’s the crow. She can be silly at times. So far, the time-travel element of that story is minimal, with only a brief mention of the Edo period or an […]

#TimeTravelAuthors 13: Silliest character
Huh. Hard to say, silliness and levity haven't been bit parts of the story so far. On a hopeful note... Dovee has a whimsical streak that circumstances haven't let him show, yet.
#ScienceFiction #TimeTravel
Across all of Lonely Ship, I think the 'silliest' award goes to Fei Li, a feline alien who joins the crew in Book 2. Fei comes from a pre-medieval world, and though she's a fast learner, a lot of space-age tech goes over her head at first.

D13. I can confidently say there are no silly characters in my MS. I originally had the antagonist as highly strung and prone to silly outbursts, but it wasn't working so I toughened him up. Now he's just sarcastic.

Square image promoting Book 2 in the Beryl Blue time travel adventures, It's Been A Long, Long Time, with a vibrant pinkish-purple background and the setting sun. Beryl, in the foreground wearing a summery red dress, looks back at a shiny new blue 1946 car and a purplish 3-story building; light spills out of the building's upper floor window, framing the silhouette of a man gazing out at Beryl. At the bottom is the book's title and a quote from a 5 star review: "...a story of action, adventure & a second chance at a love that defies time itself"
