A useful look at creating characters for screenplays.

maybe Sten doesn’t send Blue tea because it's so easy to burn your tea and make it bitter, and fereldans know jack shit about how to properly brew tea, so he likes Lea Surana a lot, but kinda laughs his ass off internally about how lea is probably drinking burnt bitter tea, thinking how 'appreciated and posh' he is. bitter4bitter. let's not forget, sten's a troll too. not that he'd ever tell Blue he's doing it to troll Lea.

“fereldans know jack shit about how to properly brew tea” omg call out the whole damn country xD but yeah, probably. I, personally, didn’t even know you could burn tea so yeah, probably. 

I doubt Blue would have jumped to that conclusion though. She’s likely just accepting her perceived idea that Sten simply has a preference for Lea whether or not it is actually true. 

Sten is definitely a low-key troll though so if he IS don’t it on purpose that’d be hilarious and just a shame an observant third party who is detached from the whole situation isn’t around to appreciate the joke. Jokes are lost on Blue, subtle pranks are lost on Lea. What a team they make x)

It’s interesting to me though that Sten sends Lea gifts without words though. Does Lea ever write letters to him? If so, what about and would/does he feel slighted that he doesn’t receive written replies?

Screenwriting 101: 5 Tips for Writing Better Characters into Your Screenplay

I always find it harder getting my characters across in screenplays.

I have a serious urge to give this character the surname Holmes, meaning she’d be Detective Holmes. But then I really like Saxbee. Mmm.

Perth, a pudding

Holy shit my dude, Pertha is available for anything anytime. I don’t care who your troll is or what they’re doing, Pertha is there. She is always there. You think I’m joking but I’m not. I am positive I could throw her at any troll in any situation and have it be a success, or at least a hilarious failure.

Friends, lovers, ex-friends, ex-lovers...Pertha attracts all kinds of people but also respulses them. Pertha doesn’t really do quadrants as such but she’s very promiscuous, so that’s always a route to explore if your trolls are similarly minded. I also imagine that she has quite a large Trollstagram following and may be notorious in her own right as a party animal, so even if your troll hasn’t met her it’s entirely possible they’ve heard of her. PLEASE hit me up with previous relationships for Pertha, it would really make her gregarious side come to life.

Not really looking for future quadrants, sorry! Pertha is just trying out quadrants and is very, very tentative about it. She’s got Vide in the pale and soon to be Vittez in the flushed, and she’s keeping her black quadrant open to various flings, mostly because that’s the lifestyle she’s most comfortable with. Perhaps, down the line, she could get a kismesis, but it’s very unlikely that she’ll hop into the black quadrant with anyone soon. As I mentioned above, friends and concupiscent partners are welcome!

I am looking for literally any plots with Pertha. She is magical and she is down for fucking anything. Still super pumped about the Starla/Pertha thread, and I’d love more threads in a similar vein. Just...I need to be Pertha more okay.

Junipa!

Junipa is weird because she’s technically diurnal, but I fudge it with her so that she can meet other trolls. Really her sleep schedule is just totally fucked and she doesn’t sleep a lot. Ideally she’d be found in the wilderness somewhere, but she does come into towns to get supplies and booze. Junipa can pretty much show up anywhere so there’s never a reason to NOT run into her.

Another tough one. Junipa is sort of a loner who doesn’t form attachments very well, but she’s DEFINITELY notorious as a weirdo zombie fighting dayrunner. It’s probable that trolls have heard of her or met her briefly, but I’m not sure she even has any long-term friends. Maybe folks are worried about her. I know I am.

JUNIPA NEEDS A FRIEND. Djagor doesn’t count, Kadath is somehow her Shroedinger’s Quadrant of black and pale, and she’s in love with the sun. THIS GIRL NEEDS LOTS OF HELP PLEASE INTERACT WITH HER.

I wanna get the ditzy space gals together, and I want Junipa to meet other dayrunners. Other ‘knight’ trolls might be interesting to meet, considering her shabby state and low caste. I’d also like to have her meet a rainbow drinker or something, considering her suspicious/hateful reaction to the undead.

Tiwani

Tiwani seeks out trolls who like to cause trouble, or trolls she can coerce into joining her gang. She likes to pick fights, particularly with other bluebloods. She can be found at batting cages, and is more likely than many of my other trolls to be found out and about in a more casual setting - at a store, on the street, in a restaurant or cafe, etc. She also acts as a bounty hunter, so there’s definitely opportunities to become a client of hers.

Ex-matesprits, sure! I’d like to get some friends for Tiwani, or possibly neighbors - she either lives in a castle like most bluebloods or an entire apartment complex by herself. Either way she’d want to set up some kind of headquarters there. Would anybody be interested in joining a troll gang??? Because that’s a relationship right there :0c Members, ex-members, whatever!

Tiwani is full up on concupiscent quadrants at the moment, but could use a moirail or even an auspistice considering the dangerous nature of her relationship with Wartag (these two might actually kill each other some day). Come at me with ya suggestions!

I wanna see more of Tiwani and Serres! I really like them as a power couple. I’d also like to see her hanging out with other badasses like Sipara or Sorrja. For some reason I also want to see how she reacts to Vide and vice versa? Idk I wanna use Tiwani more too.

OH I ALMOST FORGOT. When the hiest goes down it will probably be Tiwani who’s leading it so...join the heist.
