‧⋆‧₊˚✧Information✧˚₊‧⋆‧

Name: Perci D’raah Tarros

Nicknames: Perce

Gender: Male

Pronouns: He/Him

Orientation: Demiromantic-Heterosexual

Age: 21

Birthdate: November 11th

Birthplace: Bostad, Pytharios of Khri

Species: Iceling-Elf

Current Residence: Haukrosen, Pytharios of Khri

‧⋆‧₊˚✧Personality✧˚₊‧⋆‧

Perci Tarros can be quite an outgoing and bright spirit. Staying calm during intense situations and having limitless courage to take anything he wants exemplifies this trait. He is also inquisitive, a bit too much for his own good. As well, he can be very overconfident about his abilities and put way too much trust in himself. He can always be seen getting into some kind of trouble, albeit unknowingly. But, due to his quick wit and endless creativity, he manages to squeeze out any trouble that comes his way. He is one to always question the why of things and how they happen, despite never really outgrowing the naive child who doesn’t question further. Because of that, he believes everything that is told to him by a trusted authority figure. Thankfully, he hasn't been led astray or down dangerous paths, but into becoming the best he can be. Though, maybe as he develops his worldview, he can stand strong on his own.

MBTI Type: ENFJ-A

Alignment: Lawful Good

Likes: His family, his friends, expanding his worldview, providing for people, his growth, doing things that he is good at only, excelling in new things, the stars in the night sky, sparring with others, and learning about the world around him

Dislikes: Bossy people, doing things he is bad at, burnout, liars & manipulators, and jerks

Goals: Prove himself to others and himself that he is just as capable as the rest of them and to improve to be the best he can be, learning everything he can about these strange new areas he is exploring on their journey

Hobbies: Practicing his spells (better known as Allurements & Virtues), venturing out in the woods beyond in search of new things, astronomy & stargazing, and cooking

‧⋆‧₊˚✧Appearance✧˚₊‧⋆‧

Height: 5’ 10” or 177cm

Weight: 135

Build: Long and lanky; with quite of bit of muscle mass, but not enough to not get underestimated on his immense skill in magic

Hair: Tousled, brilliant white hair with flowy bangs that obscure his forehead, the back of his hair is much longer than the front, capping off at his shoulders

Eyes: Strikingly blue in color and rather sharply set, thirsting for answers

Skin Complexion: A pale blue, one that blended in perfectly in the ice surrounding him, with small spots of youthful blush on his cheeks and nose

Scars: None

Piercings: 2 small spikes on each ear that jut out on the top of his ear, along the edge

Tattoos: No tattoos but he wears black ceremonial face and body paint that stains his skin, called Rekkala, located on his forehead, down his sloped nose, under his eyes, across his cheekbones, & covering his neck, and spiraling down his arms, ending on his lower back.

I have learned as a writer that in order to cope with the emotions that come with what I horrifically did to my own characters (that I created) is to write one shots of them living their happily-ever-after that they deserved... but didn't get... because of me -_-

*This can be as a general theme (like using crows to represent death, using sheep to represent sacrifice, etc) or as symbolism for a specific character (calling a character a wolf, an owl, etc multiple times). If the animal symbolism you use falls into multiple of these categories, feel free to pick the one that best represents how you use it as symbolism.

Hello,

I'm an adult fiction author—fantasy and contemporary fantasy—and my debut fantasy releases May 28, 2024.

I initially got the idea for SOUL-BOUND in early April 2017, wanting to explore how a winged character would navigate their world without flight. But I didn't truly start writing it until January 2019 and now I'm finally pursuing publishing it!

Here's the gorgeous cover! Illustrated by the wonderful @oxiente, who has drawn Mika and Roshan a lot for me over the past few years. I'm really grateful that she took on this project. She delivered beyond my expectations! There are so many cute details! 🥺

PITCH

When a tsundere princess with healing magic loses her flight during her quest to heal corrupted crystal roots, she must depend on a charming vagabond's aid to help her before their avian world collapses to corruption.

SUMMARY

Avem, a continent inhabited by bird-like humans called Avians, consists of seven territories, each of which contains a crystal root: a treelike sanctuary preserving magic. Avians cannot wield the land’s magic themselves.

Except, Mika, the princess of Passíer. However, her father forbids her to use it out of concern for her safety.

Due to the expanding corruption from Cantio; a fallen territory under Passíer’s jurisdiction because of its damaged root, Zayn the militant king of Nyx, suggests Scorching Cantio. To avoid such a catastrophic outcome, Mika flees from home, determined to heal Cantio’s root herself.

In Cantio, she meets Roshan, a vagabond playing double agent to protect what’s left of his uncorrupted homelands. Upon noticing her pink feathers, unique for her specific species, he cautions her to leave before she’s captured and used as coin. She snubs his warning and is nearly taken captive.

During his efforts to help her, Roshan is wounded. Mika heals him with her magic, unintentionally and unknowingly bonding them together.

When the quest costs Mika’s wing and grounds her, she accepts Roshan’s offer to escort her across Avem to heal the damaged roots before corruption destroys their world.

If you like birb characters, the ship dynamic from Anastasia and Tangled, books like Dance of Thieves and The Girl at Midnight, and prose like Naomi Novik and Margaret Rogerson, then stick around 🩷

The sad realization when writing about historical settings

Before I fell back into writing fanfictions, I wrote mainly originals, most of the time in Urban Fantasy or SciFi settings. And there is this one thing that I just did not have to think about.

But then came 2022, and I started mainly writing fanfiction again. And through a twist of fate my main fandoms ended up being medieval - both with fantasy worlds like the Forgotten Realms, and just the real normal medieval times (aka Castlevania).

It started when I was writing the Castlevania fics. Specifically the fics being set in winter. Because it was this very obvious thing.

I wrote about it last year: Over here in Germany, in the area where I am living, we did not have a real winter since 2006. 18 years ago. There are young adults, that can vote in the election next year, that will never have actually lived through a real winter. Sure, a couple of years back - in the winter of 2020/2021 - we actually had about several weeks of snow that remained. But outside of it? Sure, it will snow on a couple of days per winter, but the snow will be melted by the next morning.

But when writing the medieval setting, I realized at some point: "Wait. This was pre-climate change. In a mountainous area to boot. They will have impassable paths for weeks on end!" And it was kinda depressing.

But then there was the other realization. Imagining summer in this medieval setting. And I imagine. And then this little voice in my mind goes: "Add more insects."

I stop a beat: "What?"

"More insects. This is medieval. It was before we killed all the insects. There are insects everywhere. Beetles, and flies, and butterflies, and mosquitoes, and grasshoppers, and..."

I do remember those summers when I was a kid. When we drove in the car and the windshield was smashed with dead bugs. When I was running around through the forest and at times would accidentally breathe those bastards in.

And now I am thinking about that a lot, whenever I write those characters being outside. I do not always bring it in, but I think about it. About how nice it must be to live in a world that was not fucked over like that.

Sorry. I am depressed. I know. Fuck climate change. Fuck capitalism, I guess.

   A Character Introduction

“Can’t you get it? This is my one last chance to right everything wrong back to normal! I can finally be worth something for once in my life…”

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦Information✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦

Name: Aerlyra Kcara Ghorne

Nicknames: Aer, Aery, and Lyra in some cases

Gender: Female

Pronouns: She/her

Orientation: Pansexual

Age: 29 years old

Birthdate: April 23rd

Birthplace: Haukrosen, Pytharios of Khri

Species: Human

Occupation: Fisherman & fish merchant

Education: Highly educated from the Queen’s Academy for Young Learners of Magic in Haukrosen, Pytharios of Khri

Current Residence: Korsk, Pytharios of Khri

✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦Personality✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦

Aerlyra Ghorne can be defined by her compassionate attitude yet nervous nature. She is very receptive to others viewpoints and ideas, speaking with them about various topics and learning new things. But, she is also well known as a push-over to those around her. Along with being quite the meek and unassuming type, she also tries to stay out of everyone’s way to focus on her own needs. This is shown as she keeps her head down and out of trouble in Korsk, her new home, for now. While she is quite the generous person to those who really need it, sometimes she can be too generous as an overcompensation which lends itself directly into her gullibility. As in, she trusts in people way too often, leading to her getting hurt and running away from her problems. Emotions, despite her not really wanting them to, basically control her actions.

Surely better things are ahead in her future. Being chosen by the Queen to accomplish a job only she can do has definitely resparked her desires to please and lead others. Yet still, she has those worry-wort thoughts in the back of her brain.

MBTI Type: INFP-T

Alignment: Neutral good

Likes: Learning new things, other people & their stories/lives, keeping away from conflicts, reading, journaling, puzzles, loud & bustling environments, being nice to others

Dislikes: Not being on time, not living up to her own high expectations, letting her nerves & emotions get to her, quiet & alone places, herself, taking charge of herself/things in her life & other’s, public speaking, fish 

Goals: Starting out, she just wants to survive to the next day. But, after she gets chosen by the Queen to kill the Bone-Binder, her entire mission, and worth, in life changes to solely just that as she wants to regain some semblance of a good reputation through that…

Hobbies: Trying out new braid techniques and hairstyles, reading, journaling, meditating, trying out new herbal teas from the market when she can fit it into her budget

✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦Appearance✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦

Height: 5’ 6” or 167 cm

Weight: 145 lbs or 66 kg

Build: Pear shaped build; Lean and muscular, yet somewhat starved in recent years

Hair: Black and very curly, messily held together in 3 thick braids with a few strands falling out to the side of her face

Eyes: Black, wide eyes that shine even in the darkest of days

Skin Complexion: Pale beige with rosy patches covering her joints and face

Scars: None

Piercings: None

Tattoos: Small stars across the bottoms of her eyes, 3 on each side

One thing I hate about being a writer (actually, there’s a lot of things, but I still write all the time. Why? Because I’m totally not insane :)) is the fact that the beginning of your book even exists. Like, *I* wrote that terrible garbage that I’m making myself post for the whole world to read because I’m too lazy after writing the whole book to go back and rewrite the first 10-15 chapters so it sounds similar to my current writing???

Like guys I swear, it gets way better, please just hang on 🥹🎀

[roarintheheavens]

write right now. who cares if it’s bad? that’s what editing is for
