You know what, it's been a while since I talked about my various planeswalking guys and gals from the focus group, time to see if a portion of the spreadsheet can get people to ask some questions about them. Even basic questions if you don't know them, it's good for me to to restate the facts every so often and I don't expect anyone to know them in advance.
Kinda want to write a summary of how some of my magic characters have evolved since they were created, but I don't know if there's any interest in that or in any specific character, so to start...
Which character should I start with?
Anedia Kosel (Human Dimir Reporter with some sleep-based magic)
Dolores (Black-Red Demon with pain magic, torturing people for a living)
Lhur (Mono-Black Giant ruling a country he deeply cares about)
Zarunpel Alernis (Green Human Knight of Garenbrig, resisting a Rapunzel story)
Arega (Simic [undefined] who can pilot artificial bodies and adapt)
Arnoss Beldrun (Red-Green-White Crocodilian with a drive to protect)
Something I’ve found very fun to do with my fanwalkers is giving them “reprints” of fitting, existing cards flavored around them. Some are easier to find than others, but overall it works pretty well!
Here are some from my main crew.
Alright, time to bring up some of the developments about my fanwalkers from 2022 (and some more recent in 2023)! Send me an ask about them, and I'll tell you what has changed about them. Ones that have had bigger changes are Anedia, Arega, Dolores, Lhur, Alamir and Zarunpel. Though there's been a few things happening with the others if you really want to ask about it.
What's Anedia up to right now?
Setting up her own publication!
Trying to decide if she sticks to being based in the Fourth district for it, risks the higher cost of living and business, along with the dangers of the Tenth, or sets up in another district altogether. And also trying to find dependable (and preferably Dimir, though the two aren't always compatible) people to work with to start her core team.
it is getting rather crisp in my part of the hemisphere so I wanted to ask how do Dancing-Hands, Anedia, Lhur and Ivegaurd get cozy?
Let’s start with the easy one...
Ivegard doesn’t really care about the temperature. Her own temperature is several hundred degrees (centigrade) above ambient temperatures, so a difference of a few dozens doesn’t really change a ton. She can feel it and she eats a bit more, and “colors” change a bit, but overall not much. She’s pretty great to cozy up with though, fireside comfort that can travel with you.
Alright, now, to the rest.
Dancing-Hands: After a few years up on the Ojutai mountains and his fur, he can handle some pretty cold temperatures, but he’s also great to cozy up with as his desert-born partners have learned. Those tails of his can be very warm. If he’s by himself, he’d probably be reading cuddled into his own tails not too far nor too close from a fire.
When things get cold, Anedia gets to pull out the thicker coats, and she likes those! She doesn’t really cozy up much, but sometimes she spends a bit longer in bed in the morning than she needs to, warm and comfy.
Lhur usually gets to be warm and safe in heated buildings with large fires, but he’s had to made do in the wild before, with a cloak, his magic and barely a shelter. He’s big enough that he has a lot of heat stored up (which has come in handy with other people), but if he gets cold it’ll take quite a while for him to warm back up.
Do any of your characters have autumn as their favorite season? If you do, what is their favorite part about fall? (Or if too many of them love it, you can pick the top ones that love it the most :D )
Oh, mmmh.
I don't typically think about favorite seasons because I don't have one, but let's see...
Anedia prefers falls, you get to wear stylish coats and NOT freeze yourself to death when you have to wait outside at night for a job for hours on end, if you're properly clothed.
For Ranek, fall is the frantic activity and last chances to do things outside before winter blows and Axgard's dwarves hole themselves cozily underground. Of course, it's been centuries since that's been true for him, but memories and tradition are strong.
Sezashi loves autumn. If you ask him why, he'll tell you it's because it illustrates that even something that seems like an end may just be the normal course of setting up a new, living world. And even that is beautiful. It's something Adima often said, and the seasons of change are his favorite, both spring and autumn.
New set mean new opportunities for character interactions! So I got to ask how would your ocs interact with the families of New Capenna? Would they throw down in a Riveteers boxing rings, party it up at a Cabaretti function? Or maybe they would get into trouble some other way in the city of angels run by devils?
A few of them found the plane, and a couple of those the city. Dolores feels right at home in New Capenna and some Developments about her happen there, as I might share later on.
Zarunpel winds down in the city through fights. Anedia might appear here and there to grab tools that aren't usually available to her. Jibea only explored the world outside of the city so far, trying to capture what remains of a once beautiful world. Arnoss may have done some bodyguard work there. Possibly more people too, but I'll leave some space for future me to carve.
