Hello, I have been trying to figure out how to fit the mafia into the world of my story. It's set around 1780s-ish, a little before French Revolution time. The vibe/aesthetic I want to go for is "if rococo and steampunk had a baby" with a touch of surrealism lol. So far, my ideas are this...

Thank you so much :D That reminds me of "The Blade Itself" and the other books in that trilogy. I really recommend it if you like high fantasy political dramas! Thanks again for the reply!

WOW!!! I'm so excited!! Thank you so much for your reply!! You actually managed to guess many aspects of the worldbuilding I had not mentioned in my original post for brevity's sake! Simultaneously, you have filled several plot holes that have been bothering me for about a year. In my...

I haven't actually given a thought to the span of time the story would cover. It'd be a good idea to have it take years however, so that C can grow up, have agency, and then we have the added bonus of seeing her mature. There is a comic I love called "Because I'm Depressed" where all the...

Hi, I am a writer and an aspiring comic creator. I've always been interested in high fantasy and horror/supernatural stories, and that's usually what I write with a few sci-fi stories on the side. Although I have been writing and worldbuilding all my life, I will probably come here for advice...

Whoa, I didn't think about it like that! Thank you. That's definitely a path I'd want to go down. The concept of everyone eventually getting together and figuring out how to do the thing they were all created to do is so cool!

I never thought about them avoiding the chosen one thing altogether! You've given me a lot to think about, thank you for the reply!

Wow, thank you so much! I appreciate the detailed reply! I was thinking D would have a redemption arc caused by C. D is a jaded and traumatized person and C is a neglected kid. Maybe their relationship could develop into a father-daughter bond which would really complicate everything!

I have a story that, so far, has two chosen ones. Neither was created naturally; one by cult ritual and the other by specific experimental breeding of a part-angel human and a part-devil human. Essentially, the one created by ritual (D) was raised to be the messiah for the isolated cult he...
