Dane and Ebony's Q&A
Edit: Now including Viola.
I haven't updated my rosters much since I first wrote them, and there's probably some useful character information missing or stuff confusingly worded despite me making minor tweaks if I spot a glaring mistake.
In addition to the above, I reckon an FAQ could be useful for other people trying to write Ebony/Dane (or any future characters/NPCs I have) could prove useful. Or just for people generally trying to understand my characters.
Thus, I figured I'd make a Q&A thread for Ebony and Dane. In short, ask away. Anything from "why did you write [___]?" to "if Dane was a potato, what would he taste like?" to "Why does Ebony use a scythe?"
To which the answers are: Yes. Like a potato. And:
[spoiler]Scythes are associated with "The Reaper" and "Death". Death is typically portrayed wearing a cloak or just as a black dark shadowy thing. While Ebony thinks death is total uncool, she likes it's personification. She also finds the concept of a hero wearing gear and named after something typically evil to be really really cool. Hence, the scythe is cool. Although, another reason is the name "Ebonywood Hellscythe" was created prior to her weapon. So, obviously, a scythe was the right choice.[/spoiler]
Basically any question directed at me from a writing perspective, or towards/about my characters.
Dabony's C&C
I don't expect a lot of response here, but I'm always looking to improve my writing. I figured I'd hit two birds with one stone here by mentioning this in the same thread.
So, if anyone has any comments and criticisms about my writing over the last couple of months or in general, I'd be grateful if you could write them here - even if it's just a simple point about a grammar mistake I keep making or a typo or minor mistake on an IC post I just wrote.
