"OgCale regressing instead of transmigrating" this "OgCale being visited by Cale and the rest of lcf" that fuck those what if I punt ogCale AND Team 1 into Nameless 1 instead?

This is that motherfucking God of Death's doing (because ofcourse it is) and somehow for some reason actually got the God of Balance to agree with his bullshit and threw Heniroksoo and Team 1 (and Roksoo's niece!!!) to tcf as a "vacation" of sorts

GoD gave the two parties a heads up of course but didn't specify when exactly Team 1 is gonna get teleported into tcf

The interaction is basically like-

with Cale and co:

GoD: "Hey wanna meet the original Cale Henituse?"

Raon: gasp "OTHER HUMAN?!"

Lily: gasp "OTHER ORABONI?!"

Everyone else: eyes Cale intensely "Accept it accept it accept it accept it-"

Cale: doesn't really mind Heniroksoo coming there "Sure why not"

with Heniroksoo and Team 1:

GoD: "Hey wanna go to your ex-Team Leader's new world for a vacation"

Kim Rok Soo: "Huh."

Kim Min Ah, already used to this crap after formally meeting Heniroksoo: ..

Kim Min Ah: "What the hell sure why not"

The rest of Team 1: gives a thumbs up

Then GoD proceeds to just, throw Team 1 into tcf without warning at the exact moment they agreed to the proposal. No suit cases no convenience store food no nothing, just themselves and their freshly traumatized minds after fighting another no-rank monster for the 3rd time that year

They'll cuss out GoD later, right now it's family bonding week

Things to consider when writing a character!! --1

⊹ What do they want vs what do they need. these should not be the same thing. what they want is the surface goal ( the job, the person, the revenge, the answer.) What they need is the thing underneath that they can't name yet. The story is what happens in the gap between those two things. if they're identical your character has nowhere to go.

⊹ What are they wrong about. Not morally wrong necessarily. just. what belief do they hold that the story is going to test. What assumption do they make about themselves or the world that turns out to be incomplete? A character without a wrong belief is already finished. They have no arc, give them something to learn even if learning it hurts them.

⊹ How do they talk when they're nervous. Do they go quiet or do they talk too much? do they deflect with jokes? do they get weirdly formal? do they ask questions instead of answering them? the way a person behaves under pressure is who they actually are. And it should be different from how they behave when they're comfortable.

⊹ What do they find funny. this one sounds small and it is not small at all. Humour is worldview. What makes someone laugh tells you what they value, what they're afraid of, how they handle pain. A character with no sense of humour is just flat. even the gravest person finds something absurd. find the thing.

⊹ What are they ashamed of? not their tragic backstory. their actual shame. The small ugly thing they would never say out loud. The time they were a coward. The feeling they pretend not to have. The desire they think disqualifies them from being a good person. Shame is where the most interesting character work lives and most writers skip straight over it :(

⊹ What do they do when no one is watching? how do they move through a space alone. What do they reach for when they're sad. What do they do with their hands??? Public behaviour IS performance. Private behaviour is truth. you don't have to show all of it but you have to know it or the character will feel hollow in a way the reader notices without being able to name.
