    What would the side effects of being a shapeshifter be?

    Perhaps one of the risks of transforming is that the longer one stays in that form, the more they begin to mentally resemble the creature and if they stay in the form for too long, they are stuck in that creatures body for the rest of their life. Another could be that each transformation...

    Writing a good National Anthem

    Before I ask my question, let me give you some background information: My novel is set in a fantasy world with Napoleonic era technology. I guess you could technically say it's flintlock fantasy. Magic exists in this world, only in so far as enchantment. Called Runecrafting, Runesmiths take...

    Elven Creation Myth

    I'm open to suggestions. What kind of gimmick do you think would work?

    Elven Creation Myth

    Auriel and Virtheon Before the creation of the world of Astalias, there was the Void. The Void was a realm of nothingness. Despite this, the Void was home to twin Spirits: Virtheon, and his sister, Auriel. As the eons passed, both brother and sister felt a emptiness in their hearts. Virtheon...

    How to Write Two Dark Characters

    The first thing I would take note of is the world building which you've established. A person who is considered dark has a lot to do with the society and culture with which they live. What does the society deem as dark or morally questionable. What does the religion or spiritual authority deem...

    Trapped in an MMORPG

    Thanks for the help. As for why the MC rp's as a Dark Lord I'm thinking about making him a outcast IRL, the bullied shy type. He plays a Dark Lord on the MMORPG to get back at those that shun him IRL.

    Trapped in an MMORPG

    I've been brainstorming on a new project that has the main character, who plays a popular MMORPG, that somehow gets transported to a real world representation of the game world as his player character. Here is some Background: Main Character IRL: A 15-18 year old outcast Player character: MC...

    Magic can't coexist with technology... like really...

    Magic can equal technology however. If a being from an advanced society, I e. a Vulcan traveled back in time to say 100 c.e. on earth, there is no possible way for the people of that era to distinguish Vulcan tech as anything but magic.

    Fallen Hero fall from Grace

    I was thinking more along the lines of mixing Bushido and Viking warrior culture.

    Fallen Hero fall from Grace

    I appreciate all the responses I have gotten on this thread. Thank you for the advice. More on the Elf: Azaraiha was the heir to the Empire of Dol' Gathaea, an elven nation that is both feared and respected for it's militaristic culture and society. In Dol' Gathaea, the heir to the throne is...

    Would like some feedback and ideas on my magic system still in work

    It's a good starting point. Maybe each discipline has its own philosophy that help to mentally condition the user to the element. For instance, maybe those that have a main affinity to fire are warrior types, more prone to violence. Air could be more free-spirited and users are the jolly...

    Fallen Hero fall from Grace

    I was thinking about corruption his since of Honor. In my world elves come from a warrior society where the nation is placed above all else. Honor to clan and to family is important as long as the interests of the nation is advanced. Or maybe he has a warped since of justice? But I'm unsure how...
