When I first saw that happy smiling face as I awoke from a haze, I felt this instant connection and as we grew to know each other in a short time, given the circumstances, that connection I whole heartily wanted to hang on to. Through all your sickness and pain I just wanted to be by your side to help you feel as good as you possibility could and when you beat those odds, I just cheered in awe of the strength you continued to emit, hoping if I was ever in that situation, I could live up to that same level. Then when I fell and had to regrow back to where I was, it just warmed me inside that you wanted to be by my side and help me every step of the way, as much as you could. I valued our friendship, even though it was short , but those seven years were one of the best times of my life. Then when you left this world I felt broken, didn't know how to continue on as a big piece of the future was now not there for us but I continued to feel these warm feelings of comfort, surly you telling me everything was going to be ok, to continue on as we always wanted to, that you would still be there watching over us and protecting us from harm. I couldn't let our dream die, I vowed to myself that our dream will be fulfilled, that your dream will be fulfilled, that was my purpose in life. It was hard work, but we got there, we had beaten the odds and became what we dreamed to become, but when it was all just starting, it could have become to a quick end. Broken again, this time with almost no way back, but you were still there for me, giving me your very essence and pulling me from the brink of the beyond, saving my life. But you did more then just that, that day, you were able to bring us together once again, even if I didn't know it at the time and I am sorry that I didn't notice it sooner. But you continued to believe in me, when you first started to appear again, looking almost like me I was sacred to be honest, was my mind starting to go, everyone around me was getting worried as I would tell these stories of something that couldn't be true. I feel bad for starting to believe that as well, but you continued to appear, continued to believe in this fool, even if I couldn't put name on this familiar presence. Then it hit me and I was truly angry with myself that I didn't realize it was you, I could only apologize and hope you would forgive me. Then that infectious laugh, that radiant smile that beamed on your face, when you told me that there was no need I felt overjoyed, more so then I have ever been. That first embrace, as you slowly came back into me, cheekily telling me to remember that you are always with me, to call upon you anytime, again that connection now became our ultimate power. I am glad that you are back here with us, that you can fight along side us again and can live out your dream, the one that started this all. Together we can now bring down the most powerful storms as the Fang, the Claw and now again the Talon are bock together once again, there is noting that can stop us now. I was always grateful for meeting you on that special day and though it all, even if I wished some things could be different, I am happy how it turned out in the end. You mean a lot to me, you have saved me more times then I can count and now that you are apart of me, I am happy we can go to the end, together as one, thank you Flint for wanting me as your friend

Well, that's quite a beautiful text ^^

So, Ion having a journal hum ? Sounds interesting XD

He probably does given what he does for a living and the fact he is an adventurer, a story for this was getting too much of the same so I tried a different angle that would explain their friendship more

That's the kind of try i call a success ^^
It make it ... more personal ?
Talonfangclaw
4 years, 1 month ago
Yes, I did want to write something from Ion's perspective and I should do it more often, he is my sona after all and getting things from his mind would help build his personality and feelings better

It depends if you want the reader to be "in his head". If not it is better to ask yourself "What do i know about him because i am living with him (or not if you want to picture the point of view of a total stranger)".

As the author you know things about your character that other don't know about, even himself. Personally i have a hard time with that. Filtering what i know from what a total stranger is able to know ^^'

And my "main" character (more like narrator) is suppose to be me with different settings XD

I know all of that, I was thinking of maybe doing more with the journal idea, where you get a glimpse but you are not fully in his head, like you said I am really the only one that can fully be there. Ion is me in some ways, so I don't want people fully in there as it can get too personal.

Well my "main" sona is Ion, he represents a lot of me but I kind of have 3 sonas in a way as you can probably tell (well more like 2 but I will get there), Flint, especially in personality kind of represents the real me, where Ion is that what you strive to be if that makes sense. Zephyr is the one that kind of holds it all together, he is tat one friend that you have that you are grateful you have in your life

So...the character the closest to you personality wise is the first to die ? O_o XD
Through, it make sens if the one you want to become is Ion...which HE does...^^

You hit the nail on the head, it is a weird feeling but yes Flint's death could be seen as a metaphor to me, and in a way yes Flint did want to become what Ion became, though again Ion was fulfilling Flint's dream since Flint could no longer.

Flint also didn't start out as a character that was kind of like me personality wise, in my original concepts, he was one character in a group of four (which Ion was a part of) that in childhood had a rare disease that only affected foxes but most didn't live out of childhood, he was the first to die in that group as well (though Ion had a close encounter with death first but was able to pull through) but he was more in the background and not really fleshed out (If you are wondering, the other two characters were Garrette and Lorelei, where they too were suppose to die with Ion beating the odds and surviving the disease). After I scrapped that idea, I was able to save two of them but Ion still needed that death of a friend in childhood to move the story forward and it became Flint, then I started to grow more attached to Flint and fleshed out his character more to the point where he kind of got my personality, so it just sort of happened. Besides fleshing out Flint like this made him a more personal character and really likeable, I would say he is my most popular character as well with some of the messages I get

The nail that stick out get hit on XD
Can't say, i like all the character you have *cough* (scythe) *cough* personality wise ^^
Talonfangclaw

Which ones might that be? (Just curious)
SageOfShadow
4 years, 1 month ago
Well, as i have said, all of them if i only take their personality in count. Except of the plain villain character like Virgil if i remember the name right. And i don't count Freya as one, for me she is like kratos in god of war 4. If people would have leave her be she wouldn't have come back to being a pirate ravaging the land...maybe...XD

They also all have a nice background, so it is hard to choose based on that too...

So i am left to choose on other criteria, i would say garett because thieves are the best...even if a tall thief is weird for me...
Lazar because dragon and katana... iaijutsu being my favorite fighting style of all time...
And Zephyr because Scythe are my second favorite fighting style, even if i still have a hard time picturing someone not stabbing himself in the back with his own weapon, at least during early training XP

My third favorite fighting style being dual dagger and throwing knives for days ... or rapier ^^

I never had Freya as a villain, she is more of an anti-hero type character as pirate is a recognized profession in some parts of my world. Garrette does fit 2 of your criterias as he is a thief and his fighting style is dual daggers, he may be taller but that is really only tall for a fox kind of thing, Ion and Zephyr are more normal sized foxes and he is just taller then that but still smaller then a wolf like Kyara.
SageOfShadow

Yes, anti-hero is the word i didn't find there. Also, if it is authorized, isn't it being a corsair ?
And how tall is garette compare to an average human ?

Oh also, nice icon ! ^^
Yes i will tell it every time you change, if it i nice of course XP
Talonfangclaw

If you are asking about heights, Garrette is about 5'-10" (178cm) tall where Ion is 5'-2" (157.5cm) tall (Zephyr is just slightly taller then Ion) and Kyara would be 6'-4" (193cm) tall. Since they are anthro, I do have them taller they what you may expect but within a range for their species
SageOfShadow

1,78m ? Damn garette is taler than me (1,75m) XD
For the other i agree, they are smol ^^

Also when angry kyara might really be a she-Kratos then XD
Talonfangclaw

Not much shorter only a foot (you would be about 5'-9"), I myself am 5'-11" (180cm) so I am slightly taller then him
