1) hey, that's how I killed ALitD

I used to base my OCs around backstories, but recently I've been having a weird case of writer's block. I'm now thinking of a main core belief for OCs, and building their personality and backstory around that.

I'm having each of my OCs "talk" about their Core Belief (yes, with capitals). It'll be in the form of interviews, like the Kane Chronicles.

For example, you've already met Promise...

Promise

On how life really is

My sister reads too many scrolls.

Back up, you say? Hmph. You were supposed to know about me before this interview.

'''Sounds of grumbling and scuffling can be heard. Promise sifts through her satchel, finding and holding aloft a sheaf of papers.'''

Ahem. I found it. '''Muttering follows as she scans the scroll. She tosses it over her shoulder in a sudden, sharp movement.'''

You know what? Screw the script. I can barely read my own writing anyway. '''She clears her throat. Again.'''

Prayer, like I said earlier, reads a lot of scrolls. All day she goes to me about how "everyone gets a happy ending" and how "you just gotta keep your head up, you'll pull through." She's never known real pain - like the pain I've known.

My sister believes in miracles. I don't.

Not everyone gets a happy ending. Look at Shatter, who had to kill her husband to save Pyronia. Look at Clearsight, who put her true love to sleep for the sake of the continent itself. Look at Darkstalker, who truly believed he was doing the right thing all the way up to the end.

A pause.

I should know.

I haven't finished her yet, lol

Polaris has something like "it's better to be unique and alone than the same as everyone else and together." Astrum's is like "embrace your flaws." Etc.
