ALMOST OUT OF ROOM NOW. :( I’ll probably split the Melodies into their own document.

It takes like 30 seconds to save.

Next up! The main character of Reverse. If you don’t know what Reverse is, I talk about it here (I highly suggest reading that first). IT’S THE STORY I MADE UP IN ONE DAY BASED ON RANDOM WORDS PEOPLE GAVE ME. I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do with it yet, but I think it’s surprisingly cool given its origin.
 
Okay! So! This is Fade. He’s a “Dragon”—No, not that kind of dragon. In Reverse’s world (whatever it’s called) there are these large flying bird-like monsters with feathery stylized angel-like wings. THEY ARE CALLED DRAGONS. Humans on the surface cut off Dragon wings and attach them to their own backs. The wings allow them to fly as well as greatly enhancing the human’s physical abilities/gives them access to magic. Plus it makes them feel like cool gods and stuff. YOU SHOULD REALLY READ THAT LINK UP THERE, YEAH.
 

Did you read the link up there? Are we caught up? Good.

 
Anyway, Fade is the only main character that has Stolen Wings rather than the artificial Wyvern wings. The story primarily takes place in the upside-down city of Inverse, and Fade is from the Surface… so from the point of view of the other characters he’s basically a massive sociopath. A really strong one. With a bad temper. That doesn’t care for talking things out. This doesn’t seem like a very good combination, does it? Fade’s general take on things can be boiled down to “Okay, I’m stronger than you, faster than you, better than you in every way. What’s that? You don’t agree with me? Okay how about I just punch your face in? That’ll solve any disagreement between us.” I guess that way of thinking works out alright on the Surface (where he’s not even close to being the strongest/fastest/betterest) but it’s sort of a… bad plan of action in Inverse.

Fade doesn’t care much about other people, their feelings, their safety, their opinions. THEY DO NOT MATTER TO HIM. He cares about himself and only himself. He’ll collaborate with other people only to further his own goals (getting his stolen memories back, figuring out how to return to the Surface before he learns that he’s been exiled.). At the start he just wants to use the other main characters for the above reasons, but he doooesss slowly become attached to them—though he’d never admit it. He also doesn’t mind hanging around them since he gets named their ~unofficial leader~ (helped by the fact that he could probably kill them if he wanted to. Easily.). PLUS, PLUUUUS he can mess with Style who really, really, REALLY does not like him. At all. It’s fun to harass people, guys.

He’s almost worse when he’s trying to be a good person. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, and tends to screw things up even more than he would if he were acting on his own instincts/knowledge. He doesn’t learn how he should be acting towards other people, just guesses and gets frustrated when he gets it wrong. SCREW THIS DISCUSSION BULLSHIT, CAN’T I JUST BEAT THEM UP UNTIL THEY GIVE ME THE INFORMATION I NEED? No, no you can’t. Bad Dragon. No food for you. Plus there’s that whole thing where Dragon Wings eventually make the human they’re attached to go CRAZY. Bad crazy. Really bad crazy. Eventually is not as eventual as it should be.

Aaaand there’s some other stuff about him that I don’t really know (or I’ve forgotten about because ER takes all the focus in my head and other stories get pushed off to the side and I forget details about them) because I honestly like Style a lot more than Fade… so Style is a lot more developed. I haven’t done anything for Reverse yet… maybe I’ll write it for NaNo this year. I have some pretty cool ideas for it. :(

Okay! I think I might do THE main character for each of my stories, and then maybe do secondary protagonists or main characters of ER’s sub-stories. And I’ll try to just do personality blurby things rather than HUGE PROFILES. Because I’m lazy, yes. LOOK I AM POSTING THIS ON STORYTUMBLR.

Okay, first up! The protagonist of Eternal Rhapsody’s Main storyline: Ether

This is Ether Sabre, he’s an artificial (but still organic) human called a Homunculus that was created by this one guy named Echo (oooh I wonder who he could be!). Homunculi come in four types (that people know of, at least. Hmm!) that determine what kind of elemental magic they can use—Ether’s type is fire. Homunculi also are the only people that get last names (they’re not exactly surnames, because Ether and his twin sister don’t share the same second name) and it’s more of a… quirk… of Echo’s. If someone else were to create Homunculi they may or may not have two names (and it seems to only be for “perfectly” humanoid Homunculi. The ones that are more monster-like only have one name, or else just don’t reveal their second names!), it’s just a thing he does. The human population sees having more than one name as unnecessary, basically! Homunculi are also a despised race (unholy, artificial, KILL ON SIGHT, blah blah the generic discrimination bit) and easily identifiable by their opaque pupils. Before ER starts there haven’t been any new Homunculi for about 20 years, so the FREAK OUT BACKLASH from new ones is… worse than usual.

Okay that was a (necessary) tangent.

I actually kind of can’t stand Ether sometimes! At least at the beginning of his storyline, he gets a lot better later on, but at the start he’s sort of (understandably) emotionally unstable. The story starts right after he’s created, and stuff happens so that he’s not exactly “finished”. He’s finished physically! But a lot of necessary information about the world and people/things/stuff in it wasn’t uh… implanted? installed? inserted? integrated? i?????? yet so he doesn’t have any of that knowledge when he gets tossed out into the world and scooped up by a gender-flipping mercenary!

Obviously this causes some communication problems. And when one of your first REAL WORLD ENCOUNTERS is a bunch of crazy villagers in a small town trying to burn down the inn you’re staying in while you recover from almost drowning… Well, it makes you kind of jumpy. And he is jumpy! And really naive, and always constantly suspicious of people and their motives, OR unconditionally trusts them for about thirty seconds before FREAKING OUT OH GOD WHAT IF THEY WERE LYING TO ME I’M GOING TO DIE. He’s either really selfish or really selfless by turns, and is a definite mood-swinger. :( He has a huge martyr complex for the middle portion of the story until his PARTY MEMBERS point out that it really wouldn’t accomplish anything and slap some sense into him. He tries to think his decisions through, but ultimately whatever he decides to do is the opposite of what he should have done. OVERTHINKING OR UNDERTHINKING. THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND.

His companions are kind of… not exactly the best people to gain real-world knowledge from, either. Pastel is ridiculously overprotective of him, and Mint is jaded, and cynical, and has a MASSIVE chip on her shoulder, and is basically out to get the Melodies and will badmouth them at every chance she gets. And I’m not even going to get into the ones he picks up later on! He wants to learn how to interact with humans, but none of his companions are “normal” humans. EVER.

Ether is really whiny and wimpy at the start. FOR A WHILE. And when he first uses his COOL FIRE POWERS he cranks his self-loathing angst up to eleven. I honestly kind of want to slap him most of the time, and tell him to JUST GET OVER IT ALREADY GOSH. Though some of it is understandable. :( He does get better, eventually! (I hope asdlgajadsgaljsd) He’ll go through a lot of growth both physically and mentally, not all of it for the better. Ether’s life is just sort of sucky overall, and doesn’t really improve.

He’s far from the most interesting character, and definitely not the most “normal”, but he’s the best audience surrogate of the main characters. It’s interesting to learn about Aural from the point of view of a Homunculus, even though they’re just one tiny aspect of the world! Sometimes I even forget about them when I go into develop-y things about it. Honestly, Ether isn’t even the main character of ER as a whole, Echo is. All of ER’s combined storylines amount to a gigantic biography about Echo and how messed up he got. He’s probably my favourite character and the closest thing I have to a blatant Mary-Sue but—OH HEY THIS POST ISN’T ABOUT HIM.

ALL YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ETHER is that he’s a tragically fragile person that was born into a world that hates him, by a guy that just made him because he was bored and had the ability to. Ultimate social experiment: Make fake people and throw them to the wolves. GREAT IDEA, YES?

Wow that got long. Do I do another one? Y/N/MS

rigaudon:

FOUR AND EIGHT… Their situation is kind of weird and I don’t really want to write 700 words again so I’ll try (try) to keep it brief. Four and Eight are twins. Kind of! Kind of in that Eight is more like Four’s clone than his twin.

Basically Four is kind of like THE FIRST MELODY… except they screwed up the process, and it had bad side effects and his brain more or less got fried. SO, they kind of uh…cloned him to make Eight, who didn’t have as bad of a reaction to Song, though his powers had to be toned down a looot (Four was the only one who was compatible with Song, at least with the method they used). Four is by far the strongest Number except he’s unstable, kind of crazy, and not always lucid :(

Eight is the only one who can control/easily communicate with Four, since they’re sort of the same person. Eight is a grumpyface though because a lot of people don’t really consider him his ~own person~ and see him more as an extension of Four that they can use to communicate with him. He resents his brother/self/person/thing and often mistreats him. IT DOES NOTHING TO HELP FOUR’S CONDITION.

Number characters are all pretty depressing. :(

rigaudon:

STARTED DRAWING ARCNUM, now cue a LOT of incomprehensible text.

One, Two, and Three! These guys are from Before (which is basically Echo’s backstory plot thread, and goes a lot more into Aural’s history before the Melody religion.) and they’re part of this… Organization/League/Order/group/VERY SMALL MILITARY? led by The Black Queen. They’re all human, but they’re all also sort of um… I guess genetically modified? Kind of like the Melodies, except not in musical/magical ways (Except for 4 but I’ll get into that after I draw him.). Technology was also quite a bit more advanced back then, since it runs in cycles and <people> totally screwed things up so the “cycle” was reset before it could catch back up to where it was when Magic was split thousands of years before… Before. WOW I’M TALKING ABOUT THINGS YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT. ANYWAY!

ArcNum members are numbered/named/ranked by the order they joined, rather than by their strength (Though the first handful are far from the weakest). Most of the members underwent their modifications to be saved (i.e. they were sick, or mortally injured, or abandoned. Something like that.) Only Three was explicitly forced on The Queen, and I’ll get into that a little bit more when I talk about him. ArcNum isn’t its full name, but I’m still not sold on what suffixes I’m going to use or the order of the words yet so you get abbreviation. :(

There’s really not a whole lot to say about either One or Two. One is the leader of ArcNum for obvious reasons, and Two is just sort of… Two. I DO HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THREE, THOUGH! Though not so much Three, as background information that is relevant to Three…

One of the few things that remains consistent throughout time up until the main timelines (since these characters are from THOUSANDS OF YEARS IN THE PAST) is the eye caste system. (Which I ramble about in great detail over here) Actually, the eye castes were A LOT more important in the past, especially the Red caste. “Normal” castes like Green, Blue and Violet are just sort of… you’re normal. If you’re born into royalty you’re still royalty, but if you’re not you just do your own thing and maybe work your way up, but you’re not automatically special or anything. But if you have a “higher” eye colour, you’re EVEN MORE SPECIAL (if you were born with pink eyes you basically got inducted into whatever royal family was closest to where you were born).

Right, red eyes! So in the present timelines, people sort of assume that red eyes aren’t POSSIBLE because they’re so rare, and if someone is born with them they’re almost always immediately killed. Back then, red eyes were still uncommon but not to the ridiculous levels of the present. They were more on the level of Maroon, Silver, or Gold (making Pink truly the rarest natural eye colouration). ORANGE EYES STILL WEREN’T A THING.

Tangent! Anyway, red eyes didn’t mean you were killed on sight or anything, but you were basically treated like dirt and people had a free license to beat you up or turn you into a slave (even if you HAD been born into royalty, since red/pink eyes aren’t genetic and occur randomly). SO, THREE! Because of his eyes, Three’s life before ArcNum (and even afterwards to an extent since a few Numbers—namely Twelve—are still gigantic jerks to him) realllyyy sucked. He has a lot of scars and bad memories and blah blah, he’s just a little bit insane because of all of it (gets worse but never to the level Four is at). He was made part of ArcNum because his caretakers went to The Queen and were basically like “PLEASE TAKE THIS ABOMINATION OFF OUR HANDS. KILL HIM, MAKE HIM A SERVANT, WE DON’T CARE. JUST GET HIM AWAY FROM US.” They were okay with beating him up, but not bold enough to kill him or anything. :(

Talky talky talky talk… I like parenthesis. A lot. Ummmmmm, One’s skin should probably be a little darker, Three’s hair should be less red and more black, <more nitpicky things> BLAH BLAH.

Good thing I only really have two babbly posts I need to reblog.

I really, really need to post more thing to this blog. :( it’s kind of… why I made it in the first place? I’m tempted to reblog relevant posts from my main tumblr (at least the really wordy ones) so that they can at least be on here. I think I’ll do that, yeah. Incoming spammy things, maybe.

Incoming huge post! So I’ve been drawing a lot of chibi-esque doodlethings of ER characters, and I was actually WRITING Eternal Rhapsody last month, so I decided “heyyy I should draw a set of characters or something, instead of doing things at random and not being able to decide who to draw next.” So I did.

And now that I’ve drawn them, I am going to babble about them! Yaay.

Necessary backstory: At the beginning of ER, Ether and Pastel go to Reilan—which is like this huge mountain city that has a royal family and one of the Seven Heirs and blah blah—but anyway, while they’re there they learn that a LARGE GROUP OF MELODIES ARE VISITING THE KING ON IMPORTANT BUSINESS (which sucks for Ether). Large group meaning 20, but that’s about 6% of their total numbers so the city is all “OH THIS IS A HUGE HONOR WE MUST CELEBRATE YAAAY”. It’s not like people really need a huge excuse for celebrating and this is a good one, I guess.

The only ones Ether actually meets face-to-face while he’s there are Vivace and Serenade. Mint runs into Nocturne, Legato and Clarinet (on accident… and then handles the situation poorly), and Pastel has to deal with Trill (and Timbre and Tune somewhat). It’s very likely that Ether won’t ever meet half of them, but with the way ER is setup it’s not really a problem. AS I’VE BASICALLY BEATEN INTO THE GROUND BY NOW: Eternal Rhapsody is more like a universe rather than a story, each character has their own story (or sometimes multiple stories) and so every character is important in their own right (and own story), even if they don’t show up in a particular story thread, they’re going to be important in another one.

Aaaanyway! Under the cut there be bad grammar and weird drawings and mostly babbling.

Let us talk about Alto and Fugue! And maybe a little bit about Cacophony in general too. Just because.


Because talking about sub-stories is fun too, yes? So uh! Alto and Fugue are two of the main characters in CACOPHONY. Rather, Alto is the main character (one of three), where Fugue is more like… a main party member but doesn’t get a huge focus really. Or she might, I haven’t really decided yet!

It’s actually a really unhappy story! As much as I like to mention silly things when I babble about my stories or characters, when I actually think about it I realize that they’re all REALLY DEPRESSING. And funnily enough, I hate depressing stories. SO WEIRD. Cacophony started out as just a sub-story where I could make ~romance~ a central part of the plot rather than just as a secondary plot thread. It evolved from there… in a weird direction. It’s probably the highest on the depressing scale. most or all of the main characters will be dead by the end, I think. possibly second only to Silence or maybe Trust which are just… downer stories from beginning to end. REALLY SAD AND STUFF, regardless of what happens to the characters, but I think they both get happy endings so there’s a plus. Cacophony uh… does not get a happy end. At all.

Anyway! Character things!

Green Spiky haired girl! Altoooooo is a relatively new Melody (three years), and she has a huge inferiority complex. Her abilities are really versatile, but because of the nature of them, she supports/compliments other people but can never stand out on her own (she’s kind of mediocre at everything and never recognized on her own). Not to mention repeated failures in the past haven’t helped her self-esteem any.

She’s very insecure about her boyish voice/appearance and easily jealous of people around her. She’s uh… kind of ~tsundere~ and puts on a ALOOF/MEAN EXTERIOR because she’s terrified of rejection. She’s good at hiding when she gets upset/offended, which is often. SHE OBSESSES ABOUT THINGS AND IS ALSO A HUGE PERFECTIONIST.

The Source mission is basically her first and last REAL MISSION YAAAY!!! So she’s all EXCITED about it, even though she’s not really in charge, there’s not many going so she feels all important and stuff. Even if she doesn’t get along with half her party members.

Uhhh. She develops a MASSIVE CRUSH on Stretto, which means she sort of hates Fugue because she’s his partner. And since Fugue is a gigantic troll, she basically harasses Alto about it and does subtle things that Stretto doesn’t really care enough about to notice. A lot of the things Fugue says to put Alto down revolve around ~older Melody tradition/knowledge things~ since Alto has only been a Melody for three years whereas Fugue and Stretto both have been for at least fifteen.

Alto is sort of a sillyface and I want to draw her more.

THERE IS NOT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT FUGUE other than I love drawing her hair. She’s a total troll, and likes to wear weird and impracticable clothing. She doesn’t have an interest in Stretto (at all) because they’ve been partners for so long, but she likes to pretend she does just to tease Alto.

She is pretty strong magically, and Stretto’s abilities are designed to support hers. Yeah.

What’s this? A new character?! Yes.

I have THE best reasons for making new, important characters. Hair and teeth, yeah.

ANYWAY! This is Guile, yes his name is important, if you don’t know what guile means you should probably look it up. He’s going to be a temporary main character around the beginning of the story. Basically, he’ll be ~in the party~ as long as Lace is and leave around the same time. No he does not die okay SOME characters are going to live. :(

Random informationsss.

- He gets the scar on the right side of his face from a MONSTER ATTACK that Ether and co save him from. Mint says (kind of snarkily) that it’s too bad she doesn’t have healing magic because she could have prevented it from scarring. TOO BAD.
- He does not get along with mint at all. Rather, she does not get along with him.
- He is sort of laid back and silly.
- Obfuscating Stupidity. That is all.
- he is also sort of useless at fighting, or giving advice, or anything.
- is from ~somewhere north~ and has a weird accent.
- NEEDS OUR MIGHTY HEROES TO HELP HIM OUT WITH SOMETHING THAT IS FAR TOO DANGEROUS FOR HIM TO DO ON HIS OWN BECAUSE HE SUCKS.
- frantic hand gestures.
- nervous habit of chewing on his lips and fingernails.
- he is still just a temporary person even if I like him a lot. I REFUSE TO LET HIM BECOME A PERMANENT FIXTURE IN THIS PLOT.

So, I mentioned (not on this blog) a while ago when I rambled about Vein that Veils have a pictographic way of writing (since Aural has a universal language.)

WELL! I decided that coming up with pictures for every word/syllable/some other system would be tedious and annoying, I’ve decided to just give them an alphabet based on sounds. So they’ll have ~40 or so letters based on each unique sound in the English language.

WHICH WILL BE TEDIOUS TO DO! BUT ALSO KIND OF FUN! Because it’ll be English, except fancy and symbolic! So like Vein and Vain the ei and ai will be represented by one letter since they’re the same sound. Also C won’t have its own letter… because C is kind of lame and makes S sounds or K sounds or teams up with H to make Ch sounds (which will get their own letter!). Also sounds that are similar but not exactly the same would be merged so IT’D BE LIKE THEIR ACCENT. Yeah!

I think consonants will have more angular letters, where vowel sounds (since there are a lot) will have softer, more curvy letters. YEP THIS WILL BE FUN.

Here have a doodle of Vein.

Okay! Let’s talk about ECHO. Echo is hands down my absolute favourite OC. He’s partly a sort of ~guilty pleasure~ character in the fact that I basically made him to be… exactly the type of character I like. HE’S RIDICULOUSLY OVERPOWERED BUT I DON’T CARE. He’s also a villain.. kind of sort of.

I’m not a fan of black-and-white characters. Villainous villains are boring. Heroic heroes are boring. I like characters that are morally ambiguous and will change sides depending on what’s in it for them. NOT HELPING THE HERO BECAUSE IT’S RIGHT, BUT HELPING THE HERO BECAUSE OH SHIT THE WORLD IS GOING TO END AND I KIND OF LIKE THE WORLD SO I’LL HELP YOU OUT HERO. Except Echo sort of MAKES the sides and doesn’t join any of them. He has his own agenda.

Echo’s the main antagonist but he’s not “evil” (and he’s certainly not good.). His motivations are weird and he does things just because he’s omnipotent and immortal and has WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON HIS HANDS TO DO SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS. It also makes him really narcissistic and over-confident, because even though he’s immortal, he’s not invincible. As much as he’d like to think he is. And for being SO OLD he’s gotten pretty good at being patient… as long as things end up the way he wants them to. If things go wrong at the last second and someone screws up 200 years of planning he is GOING TO BE PISSED. Like killing his best friends. That sort of ticks him off and he’s going to come after you and beat your face in… after he makes a futile attempt at resurrecting them in another body.

He’s also very likely pansexual based on his personality. But me being me that translates to straight-but-is-kind-of-flirty-with-everyone. Plus, he’s had the same girlfriend for the past few thousand years…

He is basically a self-named God, and in actuality is the closest thing Aural has to one. Not that most of them even know he exists. He likes to set up other false Gods and manipulate everything behind the scenes.

He’s also one of my few characters that I actually draw wearing different outfits! Though THEY ALL CONSIST OF SOME DRAPEY COAT OF SOME KIND.

ECHO IS BASICALLY THE ONE SINGLE THING THAT MAKES ER ALL THAT IT IS. EVERYTHING WOULD BE DIFFERENT WITHOUT HIM.

I might write ideas I have for ~mythology~ things that don’t even apply during the present storyline because the Melody religion has basically made them obsolete/erased records of them.

BUT IT’D BE FUN.

Because I want tooo~

I imagine that most of them won’t get more than one or two posts, though. Oh well. :(

I’ve been wondering a lot lately when Nocturne actually becomes an “Ally” to Ether and co. At first I thought it would be really early on, but I’m starting to realize that she’s more or less the initial ~bad guy~ before Elixir or SPOILERS enter the picture.

And she comes in before Sahara and Wine so it’s just… Ether/Mint/Pastel for a while I guess. Oh, and Lace! Who was originally supersuper minor, but has now sort of wormed her way into the first ‘chapter’ (I guess) of the whole series.

THIS THING IS SO CONVOLUTED AND I LOVE IT.

Anyway. Nocturne. Initially a villain. Grouchy authority figure nearing the end of her shortened lifespan. I have a huge soft spot for her though since she was the first Melody I made and the first character I made explicitly for ER, even before I knew what it was going to be. Sure there were others made before, but she sort of sparked the whole Melody thing.

I look back on doodles or things I came up with from ~back then~ and it’s pretty amazing how much I’ve changed in the story, and most of it on a whim or for arbitrary reasons that somehow became SUPER IMPORTANT. (Ether had black pupils and was human, Melodies were just normal people, Echo was completely unimportant, etc)

I AM CURIOUS TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WILL EVOLVE EVEN FURTHER.
