#oc: kritos

[bardic-tales]

hello and how are you?

Happy Storyteller Saturday NL! c:

Can you tell us a story of a character who shifted status? Did you ever have a MC who decided to not and bled into the background until someone else came and did their job? Did you have a character who wasn't ever supposed to be a part of the story, and yet jumped in and made themselves their own MC?

If this questions doesn't apply, can you tell us one random things about your story that you focused on, developed, or thought about this week?

@365runesofwriting

Hello Rune! Happy belated STS. Thank you so much for the questions, and I hope you are having a wonderful day or evening.

I'm fine. My family adopted a new kitten about a month ago, so it's crazy here. Cookie is about 2 months now. Our other two cats, ginger boy (Loki) and Russian Blue (Fenrir) have only gotten used to the baby. How are you?

These are very interesting questions. I'm going to break them down one by one, as that is easier for me.

cw: arson. murder attempt.

Can you tell us a story of a character who shifted status?

Kritos is a main character of Flight of the Dragon. He is also the first person that Alystin has loved. They grew up together in a quaint village called Siollán.

As no village child wanted to play with Kritos, Alystin would go out of her way and spend time with him. At this time, her foster parents would keep the fact that a cult who worshipped the Old Gods was actively hunting her. Their reasoning is that it was safer for her not to know the fate the Gods handed her.

Even at a young age, Kritos was a member of this cult. He would later burn down her parents' inn. Kritos would prove to be a throne in another main character's side, as Kritos became an assassin of this cult. His sole purpose was to assassinate one of the silver dragons guarding Alystin and ferret her away to the cult.

Kritos would eventually have a change of heart. Without spoiling to much of the second book in the Dragon Chronicles, he will be redeemed. I've read recently that a redeemed character's sacrifice has to be equal to their sins. So, the future for Kritos is grim.

Did you ever have a MC who decided to not and bled into the background until someone else came and did their job?

cw: assassination

In Cold as Ice, Albus Raspanti does this. His inaction costs him his life. This ignites a chain of events and starts a civil war in the Olessan Empire.

Albus was the Duke of Norven, and this is where the main military members for the Olessan Army comes from. Both the Shade and Niccolo Napoli take advantage of the chaos and try to stage a coup.

The only ones who can stop them are Cyras Covelli, Silas Silvius, the Wraith, and the Wraith's allies.

Did you have a character who wasn't ever supposed to be a part of the story, and yet jumped in and made themselves their own MC?

cw: main character death

When I first outlined Cold as Ice, there were to be 8 allies to the Crown. These were the Crown Prince, the Stewardess, the Black Tigress (who would later be renamed to the Wraith), and the Tigress' allies.

In redoing the outline this time around, I created a character named Silas Silvius, a cousin to the Crown Prince. Silas has a wyvern companion, too.

I was originally going to have him die during the coupe at the end of Cold as Ice, but he is such a wonderful character that I have written that death for someone else and moved it to the first chapter of the second book.

If I were to create a standalone novel about any of the other main characters of Cold as Ice, SIlas is the character I'd chose. He is inspired by the ranger fantasy archetype.

Plus, the reason the term is called Mary Sue in the first place, from my understanding is because of a Startrek fanfic that was featured in a fan magazine that was all about a character called Mary Sue (I forget the full name). Basically, the reason the term has a female name is solely because a female oc was the most infamous example and thus her name was used. Mary Sue has also been used for male characters as well, I am pretty sure people call Wesley Crusher a Mary Sue, hell the post where I got info about Mary Sues basically said that Wesley was the canon version of the oc, Mary Sue, and he is male. Superman has also been described as one, Krito from Sword Art Online and I honestly felt that Sora could be seen as one at times. Its not a sexist term, its just a term to describe poorly written characters who break the rules of the universe they’re in and the whole universe bends and revolves around them in an unnatural way that takes people out of the story. This can be male or female, but people latch on to the “Mary Sue” name and assume its only for females, ignoring the countless examples of males being called a Mary Sue, male variants and the origin of the term in the first place. Its real easy to whine about something when you ignore everything counter to your point, huh?

This rant brought to you by Star Wars: The Force Awakens (featuring Rey, the lady scavenger-pilot-mechanic-Jedi of my heart) and also years of simmering resentment.
