So!!!! The voice of an angel whispered in my ear and I came with this idea: characters from sorcery of thorns on the universe of Paranormal Order
First of all, what's Paranormal Order? to those who don't know, it's a rpg created by cellbit (a famous brazilian streamer), with 4 principal seasons (iniciação, o segredo na floresta, desconjuração e calamidade) and 2 spin-offs (o segredo na ilha e sinais do outro lado), about agents from a secret organization that fights with the paranormal that leaked from the Other Side. With being an agent, you can choose to be a specialist, a combatent/fighter (i don't know the official translation) or an occultist, and later, your own element (blood, death, knowledge and energy/chaos)
With the basics of the basics explained, I'll show my opinion (that is probably unique since the brazilian fandom of sorcery of thorns is composed by 5 people)
Elisabeth – I can see her either as a combatent/fighter or as a specialist. Fighter because she's really good when fighting with demonslayer, or fighting in general, and specialist 'cause she's very smart; her element, however, is really clear to me: knowledge
Nathaniel – he's clearly an occultist, because he's a sorcerer in the book, but his element is unclear: death, because that's the kind of magic his family "owns" and is associated with or blood 'cause he's flirty and all that stuff. Even chaos is considered as an option since he gets caught up in the most random problems. If he's chaos, there would be a cute detail that Elisabeth, being of knowledge, would be his weakness, since "the lull of knowledge surpasses the anarchy of energy", if I remember correctly
Silas – I guess his case is the same as Elisabeth in class, since he fits both fighter and specialist, even though I prefer him as a fighter, since if he teamed up with Elisabeth and Nathaniel, each would be a different class, and depending, different element too; his element would be death or even blood, but I guess death suits him more. If he's blood, he would be Nathaniel weakness (i won't remember the phrase for it, sorry), but if he's death and Nathaniel blood, it would be the other way around. But if Silas is death and Nathaniel chaos, I guess it would be the same if they're death and blood
Lorelei – blood occultist, without hesitation
Ashcroft – knowledge occultist, without hesitation pt. 2
Katrien – energy specialist, without hesitation pt. 3
That's what I can offer for today, bye bye and kisses 😚😚

Your childhood was marked by loneliness and your parents’ volatile relationship. How do you think those early experiences shaped your writing, particularly your horror stories? (Silas)
Those early expierences made the stories. Think about what the longest amount of time you have spent in one room is, a day? A week? While Silas wasn't in solitary confinement by any stretch of the word, he did voluntarily shut himself away into his room for long periods at a time. He spent days on end doing nothing but writing, reading, sleeping, and eating. Most of the time he neglected to open the curtains in his room. This environment shaped the worlds of his books, and his own world in turn. To read horror books in a large dark room, to coming up with the books himself in the same dark room, he usually knew it was time to go outside when he was looking over his shoulder a few too many times in a minute. His life is significantly different now, he is much less of a shut in, but his childhood was naturally the must foundational time of his life, and follows him everywhere he goes. This is all really good content for books, to make a long story short, even if it wasn't the best content for emotional development.

An unexpected character that I really liked from SoT was actually Lorelei, her whole concept is so cool, with using her voice to entrance people (like a siren!!!) to constantly giving Ashcroft the side eye (lol) I just wanted to ask, is there anything about her character that came up while you were writing that ended up being cut, or like a fun fact/headcanon about her? I’d personally love for her and Silas to have a catty afternoon tea at least once where they gossip, bitch about life and immortality and emanate dangerous amounts of sass. I feel like they both deserve it.
I'm delighted you're a fellow Lorelei fan. I enjoyed writing her immensely. I spoke about a scene I had outlined and never got to write in an earlier ask here.
Otherwise I've imagined that she and Silas would temporarily put their differences aside at a party in favor of lurking in a corner judging people's outfits together. So you aren't far off. Afternoon tea, though? He would never stoop that low.
Once at a signing, I met a reader named Lorelei who bought a copy of Sorcery. Just imagine me miserably forcing out as I personalized her copy, "I have to tell you... I'm so terribly sorry... but, well... there's a villain in this book named Lorelei." And her sighing tolerantly and replying, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Character Spotlight: Prince Fenris
WIP: Crown of Blood (unofficial title)
Role: Secondary Antagonist
Full Name: Fenris Andras Belial Arcturus Adecia Age: late teens, early 20s Gender/Sex: Cis Male Family: King Silas (father), Lady Lorelei (mother), King Idris (uncle), Prince Atlas (half-brother), Prince Caelum (half-brother), Prince Hyperion (half-brother), Prince Osiris (half-brother), Prince Zephyr (half-brother), Prince Ignis (half-brother), Princess Adrasteia (half-sister) Skills: Magic, sword-fighting Bio: The seventh prince of the Adecian royal family. With his mother's dubious lineage and his own stunning lack of notable skills or accomplishments, Prince Fenris is hardly considered a contender for the throne. Despite this, he consistently remains one of the most vocal about his ambitions.
It hardly helps that he's the second youngest out of his litter of half-siblings- with an entire lineup of older, more accomplished and well-respected brothers ahead of him, gaining so much as a leftover noble title is little more than a pipe dream. It wouldn't be quite so grating if not for the fact that the top star candidates for inheritance includes his sister, Adrasteia- the only sibling younger than him.
Time is running out for Prince Fenris- for all of them. Eventually, an heir must be named. And considering their father's own blood-stained rise to the throne, it's no secret what is expected of King Silas' children to prove worthy of the crown.

Been working on a Spooky Story project on the side over the past month or so -- mostly outfit ideas! Some of the faves so far:
I really wanted for each character to have a distinct style that all meshed together in the end. The main character, Heron (a male witch) is all about skinny jeans and tops with unique designs.
Instead of having ugly Christmas sweaters, he'll have ugly Halloween sweaters.
I talked about Silas (a werewolf) pretty recently; his fashion is basically just "rich prep." I thought about not doing scarves for him, since they're more casual and sort of hipster.
But dogs are so freaking cute when they wear scarves. So there.
Lorelei (a lake monster girl)'s fashions are almost entirely 1970s inspired. 1970s fashions are so bright, fun, and kind of cutesy, so making that work for a spooky story world is a fun challenge. I'm including 1970s aspects in other character's fashions as well (mostly those huge lapels, love 'em!).
I also need to design an interesting-looking broom for Heron. A lot of the story involves going into the woods at night, and he's going to be needing it to get around.
^ This is an older sketch of Ebony Raven Way, a goth witch and side character. I can't believe I never posted it before; I love it so much.
This is her essence.
(... I just realized she looks like a Muppet. Which oddly works.)

Marlowe Sidney [NYTF]
Councilor Marlowe Sidney of the Athens Zone of Safety was the most intriguing member of the Council to Piers. At 29 years old, they were the youngest, yet had already served for almost 10 years. [...] They seemed quirky and laid back though, plus they pushed progressive social policies paired with economically conservative policies, which Piers appreciated. However, the amount of time they spent in the Lab with Dr. Panya was alarming. [...] Piers wasn’t sure if they could count on Sidney actually showing up to meetings. (Knight of Dawn, Chapter 5)
Quick Facts
Full Name: Marlowe Jason Silas Sidney
Pronouns: they/xe (in context I use a lot more they to differ Marlowe from Dr. Panya)
Title: Councilor of the Athens Zone of Safety; Blessed Heir
Gender: Nonbinary
Sexuality: Lesbian
Birthday (Age at start): November 3rd, 2181 (29)
Parents: The Chancellor Silas Sidney, Lorelei Levine (stepmother)
Siblings: [REDACTED]
Notable physical features: tall (like 6'10" tall), either looks like mega-gay or the straightest man you've ever seen (depending on the hair)
Personality: "They do get a bit quirky at night", little arrogant, determined, friendly, inquisitive, helpful, awkward in nonpolitical situations
Extended Intro...
Like Piers says, Councilor Marlowe Sidney of the Athens Zone is the youngest of the Councilors. They often serve as a mirror to Piers' own experiences. Marlowe is the Blessed Heir, the oldest child of the now-Chancellor of Athens and next in line to serve as the dictator/cult leader of the former college town. They grew up with their father and stepmother, and eventually their five younger half-siblings. Throughout their childhood, Marlowe was given speech after speech and lecture after lecture about their purpose, who'd they'd become, who they were expected to be. Silas always pushed them, and Marlowe deeply fears disappointing him. Marlowe is not out to their family back home, and often wears a wig when they are. Upon Chancellor Cosmo's sudden disappearance, and Silas's rise to the position, Marlowe was sent to Atlanta to serve as Councilor at the ripe age of 19. It was a culture shock to them, a change from the sheltered and cult-led childhood they'd experienced. In all the chaos of learning how to do things the "normal" way, Marlowe met Dr. Panya, a research scientists who'd left Athens. Xe understood their struggles to fit in and their interests in genetic research, and the two quickly became close friends. Councilor Sidney can usually be found in one of two places: In a meeting in the Forrest Room or down in the lab, dissecting corpses with Dr. Panya. Or alternatively, with their girlfriend that no one else is supposed to know about (JK it's Gretel).

Where: Starlight Bar
Who: @cantfightmoonlight (Meena)
"Come in." Opening the door for Meena to go inside the bar as she followed the other woman inside. "It's still going through renovations so please don't judge." Using her telekinesis to shut the door behind them so they had more privacy, she walked over to the bar. "Want a drink? Cause I could use about a hundred." She remarked with a sigh as she grabbed the bottle of vodka off the shelf and didn't bother to even get a glass. Unscrewing the top before she tossed it on the floor behind her since she figured they wouldn't be needing the lid any time soon or if at all. "Does it piss you off that she was right under our noses this whole time because it really pisses me off." While she'd know that The Catalyst was one of them thanks to Silas' message she never suspected Lorelei of all people. "It pisses me off more that she got away with it all and we can't get to her."

(for any/all muses) How does your character feel about their zodiac sign?
Out of all of my muses, the only character that would actually care enough to form an opinion would be Lorelei. Annette would have no idea what the deal with zodiacs is, Tsubame would say she dosen't have the time to care, and Silas flat out dosen't believe in it. Lorelei wouldn't have any strong feelings about her star sign, but reading a horroscope every now and then is always a bit of fun.

Empire Arcana
Chapter 2: A Higher Calibur
The setting was an opulent room with soaring ceilings and gilded ornamentation, awash in a pale, ethereal glow. Its architecture hinted at a blend of classical and modern, demonstrating both grandeur and an undertone of techno-magical advancements. This was the virtual domain of The Aegis Consortium.
In the center, a round table of polished mahogany was surrounded by eight high-backed chairs, each occupied by the projected presence of the group's members. Each projection reflected their personal style and idiosyncrasies.
At one end of the table, Harrison Becks of Globex appeared. A holographic timepiece ticking away in the corner of his projection, mirroring his real-life obsession with time. Every movement was precise, each word measured.
Opposite him flickered into view Silas Fordham of Pomme Tech. His projection was accompanied by a spectral, ever-adjusting array of holographic items, creating a perfectly symmetrical aura around him, reflecting his preoccupation with aesthetic balance.
Next appeared Rupert Sterling of WinGate Technologies, his digital avatar adorned with a retro digital watch that somehow seemed to flicker and glitch in the high-tech environment, a curious counterpoint to his cutting-edge reputation.
Leonard Calibur of Pandora Armaments then shimmered into view. His muscular projection was actively engaged in an intense workout, even as he greeted the other members, the relentless dedication to fitness a testament to his military precision and tenacity.
Mortimer Haywood of Arcane Tobacco Company materialized next, a plume of ethereal smoke curling up from an illusionary cigar, his spectral smile made charmingly disarming by the fresh minty scent that seemed to emanate from his projection.
Dr. Celeste Prima of Elixir Pharmaceuticals followed, her surroundings clinically clean and shimmering with a sterilizing light. A virtual sanitizer floated beside her, sporadically casting a cleansing spray around her, emphasizing her obsession with purity.
Sebastian Plentiful of Mystic Foods was the next to join, his avatar jovially biting into a spectral apple that disappeared bite by bite. A spread of illusionary food surrounded him, his ever-changing palette reflecting the innovative nature of his industry.
Finally, Lorelei Starling of Illusion Media appeared, her holographic presence flanked by the virtual forms of her magical assistants and fantastical creatures, enchanting the already surreal meeting with a touch of whimsy.
As the last avatar settled, the room became more animated, their individual characteristics adding a unique color to the ethereal scene. With everyone present, the meeting of The Aegis Consortium had begun. As the meeting began, Leonard Calibur of Pandora Armaments came straight to the point, his muscular projection still engaged in a strenuous workout, "We have a problem. 13 is missing." The room immediately fell into an uneasy silence, each member digesting the revelation.
It was Rupert Sterling of WinGate Technologies who broke the silence, "How could this happen? She was your responsibility!"
Sitting opposite him, Harrison Becks of Globex interjected, "Enough, Sterling! Now is not the time for blame. It's happened. What's the plan, Calibur?"
"Already on it," Leonard responded, unfazed by the tension. "We've dispatched two trackers, both Phantasma Class—Nightmare Entities. They've got a tether on 13's fear. She won't escape."
Dr. Celeste Prima of Elixir Pharmaceuticals scoffed, her sterilizing light shimmering more violently, "Nightmare Entities? Really, Calibur? You've lost the girl, and now you risk exposing us by using such drastic means."
Unmoved, Leonard replied, "They are the most effective. And fear not, Prima, they appear as nothing more than men to those who can't see through the disguise."
The tension in the room mounted, the seriousness of the situation was clear. Finally, Sebastian Plentiful of Mystic Foods proposed a disconcerting solution, his spectral apple half-eaten, "And if we don't find her? We need a contingency."
Mortimer Haywood of Arcane Tobacco Company, blowing out a thick plume of ethereal smoke, offered, "What about the void theory? That unprecedented phenomenon of unseeable brightness?"
The mere mention of it stirred an uneasy shiver through the room. Such an idea, however feasible, was fraught with unknown dangers, but in dire times, drastic measures are considered. The Aegis Consortium continued their intense deliberation, aware that their iron grip on their world was beginning to slip. The atmosphere hummed with a palpable tension. Their virtual environment was painted in ethereal hues, its flowing data streams simulating an extravagant cosmic palace.
Leonard Calibur, the muscular representative from Pandora Armaments, sat with his digitally constructed arms crossed, a deep frown creasing his brow. "I still don't get this color business," he grumbled.
Dr. Celeste Prima, the composed delegate from Elixir Pharmaceuticals, turned to him with a sympathetic smile. Her avatar perfectly mirrored her real-world grace, a cascade of radiant pixels embodying her delicate movements. "Think of it like this, Leonard," she began, adopting the tone of a patient instructor. "It's about power potency."
Silas Fordham from Palm Tech, his avatar awash with vivid coding symbols, couldn't help but chuckle at his colleague's confusion. "Think of it like coding, Leonard," he chimed in, a mischievous sparkle in his digital eyes. "Cool colors, they're your low-level software. Useful but not exceedingly powerful. Your warm colors, now they're your high-level programming languages."
"And what about this 'golden starlight'?" Leonard asked, his frown deepening.
Lorelei Starling, the lively representative from Illusion Media, leaned forward, her avatar shimmering with cinematic glamor. "That, my dear Leonard, is the Hollywood star of magic. The Oscar winner, if you will. Rare, powerful, and highly sought after."
As the weight of their 'golden starlight' sorcerer's escape settled in, a heavy silence filled the digital chamber. Calibur disconnected from the Aegis meeting, a sigh escaping his lips as the digital projections vanished. "All right, folks. Got work to do," he muttered in his gruff, authoritative tone, his image fading out from the ethereal meeting room.
In his private quarters, an office that mirrored his personality, there was an air of strict discipline and stark practicality. The room was a blend of a military command center and a high-tech gymnasium, with screens displaying classified intelligence data juxtaposed with state-of-the-art training equipment.
The door to his office hissed open, and in slipped two figures - one thin and wiry, the other squat and round. Their forms were insubstantial, an undulating dance of shadows that flickered in and out of focus, their features vague and nightmarish.
"Slim. Squat," Calibur called out, addressing the shadowy figures. Their names, though simple, were fitting considering their appearances.
Calibur's normally stoic face was set in a hard frown as he addressed the duo, his dissatisfaction palpable. "What's taking so long? You're supposed to be nightmares incarnate, not a couple of lazy spirits. We're in a race against time here."
Their shadowy forms shivered in response, an indication of their understanding. Calibur's voice echoed in the high-tech office, the unspoken pressure building. The stakes were high, and there was no room for failure.
As he dismissed the two figures, his orders clear, Calibur was left in the solitude of his office. The weight of the situation pressed heavily on him, a silent reminder of the relentless chase for their rogue 'golden starlight'. Calibur pulled a sleek cigarette case from a drawer, selecting one and igniting it with a simple flick of a seemingly ordinary, but actually a magic-infused, lighter. He inhaled deeply, the smoke curling around him like another shadowy figure.
He activated a secure comm channel, the screen flickering to life with the stern faces of his special-ops team - a squad known for their brutal efficiency, and equipped with a combination of cutting-edge military tech and enchanted weaponry. They stood waiting in combat gear, magical symbols glowing faintly on their armor.
"Listen up, Echo Squad," Calibur began, his gruff voice laced with a commanding presence. "We're looking for a bird, a golden starlight. Slim and Squat are on her tail, but I want you ready to move in as soon as they locate her."
The screen filled with nods of understanding. The team was accustomed to dealing with unusual orders - the enchantments woven into their gear would protect them from most magical dangers.
"Stay alert and stay ready. That's all," Calibur concluded, extinguishing his cigarette and ending the call. Once more left to the silence of his office, he stared at the blank screen, steeling himself for the hunt that lay ahead. Seated back in his chair, Calibur looked at a young intern standing at attention on the other side of his desk. The young man was nervously shifting from one foot to another.
"You know, son," he began, leaning back and fixing the intern with a piercing gaze, "There's something to be said about power. People think it's all guns and grit, but they're wrong. Real power," he gestured towards the empty conference screen, "is outthinking your opponents, anticipating their moves. I'm on that Council because I can bring the fight to the enemy like no one else."
He took a long puff from his cigarette, his eyes lost in the smoke. "Aegis... I've clawed my way up there, and I'm not about to be the weak link. I've got ambitions too, you know. Those other industry heads, they think they're so smart. But they're forgetting one thing. The world needs security, order. And that," he pounded his chest, "is what I bring."
His eyes narrowed, and his voice dropped lower. "But it's frustrating when things don't go according to plan. When I can't just blast through problems. I might not be the smartest, but I've got instincts. They've gotten me this far. I have plans for Aegis. Big plans. And I'll be damned if some runaway bird will ruin them."
He finished his monologue with a heavy sigh, stubbing out his cigarette. Looking up at the wide-eyed intern, he seemed almost vulnerable. "Ah, that felt good. Getting it all off my chest, you know?"
Without warning, he swiftly drew his sidearm, a sleek gun with runes glowing on its surface, and without a flicker of emotion, shot the intern. As the young man crumpled to the ground, Calibur's stony expression returned.
"Always remember to eliminate potential leaks," he muttered to the lifeless body, putting away his gun and reaching for another cigarette.
