Birthplace and Birthdate: Caelmoor, her parents’ house I guess? I never canonically put a hospital in Caelmoor so… you don’t know… and the date… well, I should have like years in the story for that. she’s 31-33 during the events of the novel
Guilty Pleasures: caring about people
Phobias: that everyone hates her, does that count?
What They Would Be Famous For: murdering people

OC You Ship Them With: oh god, everyone. Morlene cause they used to be gf’s, also Lourdes and Morlene cause they could be such an adorable poly ship :’), also Mason cause they were also gf’s and they’re v good to each other, also Angel cause Angel’s badass and Vale’s totally weak for butches
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: I could say the obvious Zavier who’s the villain but also Morlene.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: N/A (books are for losers, movies don’t exist)

Talents and/or Powers: lying, bullshitting, conning, impersonating. supernatural powers include slowing down time. also thinking she’s good at stealth and sneaking while she’s actually rubbish
Why Someone Might Hate Them: arrogant, cold, selfish, awful sense of humour

Why Someone Might Love Them: they wouldn’t
How They Change: well, unbeknownst to her she’s on a journey to calm down and forgive herself. we’ll see how that goes. 
Why You Love Them: she’s a fucking asshole but she loves her friends unconditionally and she’ll break every bone in her body to keep them safe and happy.

Full Name: Morlene (I only gave Vale a full name because I’m lazy and they weren’t important)
Gender and Sexuality: she’s also a lesbian woman
Pronouns: she/her
Ethnicity/Species: human but she’s also an elemental witch which I feel like is important
Birthplace and Birthdate: everyone is born in Caelmoor ok, she’s like late 20s, early 30s. listen. sometimes, details aren’t important
Guilty Pleasures: Morlene isn’t guilty of anything ok
Phobias: well her one irrational fear is that she’s a bad mother WHICH SHE ISN’T
What They Would Be Famous For: leading a revolution
What They Would Get Arrested For: leading… a revolution?
OC You Ship Them With: her ex Vale and her current gf Lourdes but they need to be together the three of them ok
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: nobody would even lay a finger on her.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: something nerdy idk she likes plants some nerdy shit about plants
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: I don’t like this part of the questions, I hardly tolerate books in real life now I gotta think about books in my own stories? 
Talents and/or Powers: talents include making people trust her, being very comforting and stuff, A+ bedside manners, and her powers are all element-based, she’s a witch she does magic stuff, it manifests in purple light-energy ok
Why Someone Might Hate Them: they woULDN’T
Why Someone Might Love Them: just…. just look at her. Morlene’s awesome.
How They Change: she just becomes more powerful. she’s perfect in the beginning and she’s perfect in the end just more.

Full Name: Cephas
Gender and Sexuality: ace dude (which is also how i would describe him as a person)
Pronouns: he/him
Ethnicity/Species: human. nothing special.
Birthplace and Birthdate: he’s like early 30s during the events of the story.
Guilty Pleasures: pickpocketing the most worthless stuff like a broken pen and a lump of coal, shit like that
Phobias: everything, Cephas is terrified of literally everything in the world
What They Would Be Famous For: they wouldn’t, Cephas is quite unremarkable.
What They Would Get Arrested For: probably messing up while on a mission with Vale, but Vale wouldn’t let him get caught
OC You Ship Them With: I don’t, he’s acearo. I friendship him with Vale and Morlene, they’re my babies
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Morlene, definitely Morlene. the one time she thinks there’s finally another reasonable adult around to help her control Vale, and he turns out to get her into even more trouble
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: I don’t take Cephas for a reader. mostly cause I don’t want to put more books in my books than it is necessary.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: *fart noises*
Talents and/or Powers: he’s good at pickpocketing, pretty bad at everything else. he has the supernatural power of making Vale open up which is pretty cool
Why Someone Might Hate Them: not gonna lie he’s a pretty weird guy, socially inept while he craves social interactions more than anything
Why Someone Might Love Them: he’s a human golden retriever okay he’s the cutest fluffball ever. but also he never gives up like ever. especially on people.
How They Change: he learns that he deserves love too and grows himself a bit of a spine too. while Vale calms down and stops looking for a fight everywhere, Cephas learns to not just bear everything but stand up for himself and to earn what he needs.
Why You Love Them: cause after three decades of loneliness the first miserable bastard that comes his way and shows him kindness he just starts following around and supporting with all his heart and infect with kindness and happiness, he’s a ray of sunshine tbh 

Morlene: if you see Vale, please give her this face
Morlene: (¬_¬)
Morlene: she’ll know what it means.
*later*
Cephas: oh, speaking of, Morlene wanted me to give you a message
Cephas: (¬_¬)
Vale: *sigh* the neutral face of displeasure…

My story ideas that I’ve started and immediately given up on in the past month include

  • a giant root-like creature from a parallel dimension is “kidnapping” planets and every time it takes a planet, every memory of that planet disappears like it’s never existed at all. a massive interdimensional organisation called the company works on documenting every knowledge in the world while one of their employee actually works on saving the planets. just as the next planet is about to be consumed they extract one specimen of the “ruling” species and bring it to the company. knowing they can possibly save people from their vanishing worlds the company’s forced to try to do that and maybe even find out what this root-like creature is and why it do that and also stop it.
  • this one had like twelve different variations so i’ll just tell the one i remember the most and provide very little context cause it’d take four years to explain ok. there’s an exiled god that tries to stop a bunch of other gods from destroying worlds they created just for the sake of seeing them get destroyed in their sadistic little games. this exiled god transfers their power to a mortal being (that just so happens to be an earth human) and then sends her to different worlds where she has to save those worlds. soon it becomes an everyday occurence for her that she has to be zapped to faraway worlds, save them, and then return back to earth where she’s just living a normal life. variations of the plot included her being stranded on a world that doesn’t look like it needs saving, failing to save her own world, and the god whose power she wields disappearing and her having to find them.
  • humanoid robots were implemented in our everyday lives then all of them were quickly decommissioned after humans were way too freaked out to let them roam among us even though there were no signs of deviancy in the robots at all. employees of a private detective agency are working on a case when they find a discarded robot in a junkyard, fix it, then use it to help them out with their cases that are growing gradually weirder, and possibly more supernatural. the robot’s original purpose and manufacturer might actually have something to do with those cases as well.
  • there are immortal humans among us, that have like, crazy wolverine-type regeneration abilities. an organisation starts kidnapping these people and using them to technically provide an endless supply of blood and organs for the less immortal humans. there’s no real plot here, i guess the characters just have to get out n stuff.
  • there’s this girl who can take people’s pain away, that’s like her superpower. she belongs to a race of humans who all have minor superpowers like that but there are like many different types n stuff. they’re all descendants of a very powerful being from thousands of years ago who like, spread all their power among humans when they died. so then these people start finding out whatsup, and it’s like highlander style, if you kill someone who wields a power like that, you get it. so there are people who want to collect as many powers as they can, others just want to collect the people so they can like, resurrect this ancient being and give them back their powers and there was no real plot just this ok
  • there was also this weird ghost-hunting one, idk i deleted that one
  • the file for this next one starts with “Zombie apocalypse cause apparently that’s all I’m good
    for.” itd have this girl and her brother whose mum put her in a creepy what remains of edith finch-type bomb shelter when the zombie apocalypse happen when she was just a kid and her brother was just a baby (spoiler alert the baby’s fucking dead, yo, she was like four she’s got no idea how to take care of a baby) and then one day, obviously someone manages to break into the shelter and she has to get out n survive n stuff thats all
  • there were some others that i started writing down but i deleted and then a ton i never even started writing down.

i hate my brain, at least it could come up with some useful stuff but nah its just senseless garbage thanks.
