| Post subject: | Tyra and Silas - DEVELOPMENT |
Hello all! In writing I have found it very important to properly develop main characters. This is a thread to do just that. Allow me to introduce you to my two main characters in the fantasy story I hope to write on this forum. (I know I've already introduced them, but this thread is just for them.) Note: Please start a separate post for your own characters, one thread per character or per pair of characters. How a Character Development Thread Works
Other characters are free to come and go as they please. Other characters can ask those characters questions about themselves. (ex. where are you from? Do you like this or that?) Really anything could happen in here, as long as it helps the author understand there character better. (Elyon can help explain further if necessary.) The point of the thread is to help the author think about how their character would answer questions, talk, or relate to unfamiliar situations and people. Altogether, have fun. Get to know your character. ________________________________________________________________ Okay, to get started, here is a short bit about Tyra and Silas. Name: Tyra O’Dale (Dale town) Nickname: Tyra of the Taverns Gender: Female Species: Human Height: 5'4 Hair color and style: dark blond, braid down to her waist Eye Color: brown, (they dance and sparkle when she tells her tales.) Clothing: brown dress tunic (to mid-calf), cream over tunic, fastened at the waist with a leather belt, weather worn black cloak, tall boots. Age: 19 Personality: She has a quick, bold tongue, is witty, and a bit snippy. To someone who doesn't know her, she appears easily tricked or won, but she is very careful (and can be very suspicious) of others. She's a bard and she keeps her trade well. Other appearance: She has a tattoo on her left shoulder of a dragon clutching a sword and a small stone. She carries a tin flute in her left boot. She also has a large travelling pack. Weapons: A hidden dagger in her right boot Name: Sir. Silas Richardson Gender: Male Species: Human Height: 5’9 Hair color and style: Dark brown, grown out pasted his ears, strait. Eye Color: Soft green Clothing: brown trousers, white shirt, black jerkin with a green and gold border, long leather overcoat, knee high brown boots, gray cloak. Age: 29 Weapons: Hand and Half sword, and dagger. Personality: Brave, he can be very prideful though he has a good heart, quiet, at times very serious. He’s a knight out of work, looking for a job…… |

Liagiba: I can't believe I'm humoring you, Tyra. Eiram: Lia, get over yourself. Liagiba: I'm not under myself now! You get over yourself. Eiram: *clears his throat* I apologize for my fiance's rudeness. I'm Eiram, it's a pleasure to meet you. |

Silas: Greetings Eiram, Liagiba, I am Sr. Silas. Tyra: And I'm she-who-does-not-need-humoring, but will say, I'm in a better mood. Silas: So you're admitting to have been in a bad one before? Tyra: I never denied it. Silas: True, you didn't. That's one thing I can give you. Tyra: What? Silas: You're truethful. Tyra: And a great storyteller. *wink* Silas: Yes. *smiles* |

Eiram: Nice to meet you too. Liagiba: Didn't mean to humor you. I'm not in a good mood. Eiram's bugging me again. Me: On topic, children. Eiram: *groans* Liagiba: Silas, quit twisting words! Eiram: Manipulating. He isn't, Lia, and besides, mind your own business. Me: *puts hand over both mouths to keep them quiet* I apologize for their rudeness. Neat characters, StoryGirl. |

Me: Thanks. Tyra: *rolleyes* Silas: How am I Manipulating words Liagiba? If I may be so bold as to ask. Tyra: You already asked to question, so why ask if it's okay? Silas: Because it's polite. Tyra: Ah. |

Liagiba: I don't care if it's polite or not. I'm not being polite to you, you don't need to be polite to me. Eiram: Lia... Liagiba: You manipulated Tyra's words about being in a bad mood. Me & Eiram: LIA! Liagiba: What? He asked. Eiram: *sighs* Remember? Politeness? Liagiba: They're commoners! Me: And you need to shut up! Tyra and Silas, I apologize for her. Liagiba: I'll apologize myself. Sorry. Eiram: Why did I ever fall in love with you? Liagiba: Do you really want to have that conversation? Me: Guys! Stop! |

Tyra: In his defence, that wasn't manipulation. And he's NOT a commoner. Silas: You are in a good moon. Tyra: Yes, *plays a scale on flute* but don't get use to it. Silas: *smiles and kisses Tyra's cheek* Never. Tyra: *blushes* Don't do that here! Silas: *sighs then winks* Tyra: Why DO you love her Eiram? Silas: Changing the subject? Tyra: It needed to be changed. |

Eiram: Let me apologize. Sorry Lia. Sorry Tyra and Silas. Sorry dearest author. Lia's amazing, she's just in a bad mood. Liagiba: *dances around the room* not anymore! Eiram: Why not? Liagiba: I just took Riondal on a run. Sorry I was so obnoxious earlier. I get a little edgy and obnoxious. My bad. It really is nice to meet you. Me: Eiram, answer the question. Eiram: Fine *turns red*. I will. Lia's beautiful and special and strong and the best person in the whole world. And I love her with all my heart. Is that better? Liagiba: *makes gagging sounds* Please stop. I'm being nice, here, but please stop! It makes me sick. Me: Fine, fine. Thanks Eiram. Tyra, I'm not repicking that conversation back up. You owe me one. |

Tyra: Owe you one? One what? I never owe anything! Silas: *smiles* Should I tell why I love you? Tyra: Please don't, it's not that I don't want to hear it... not here. Silas: See, *whispers to Eiram* they does have a soft spot. Tyra: I heard that. Silas: Of couse you did. Tyra: *frowns then looks at Laigiba the author* Will a story repay whatever I owe you? |

Me: You don't owe me anything. Just joking. Eiram: Lia doesn't have a soft spot. Yet. Liagiba: True. Eiram: Except... Liagiba: Don't you do it! Eiram: Remember...the dance... Liagiba: What did I say? Eiram: And Pelena... *laughs* that was your soft spot, dear Lia. Me: Guys, quit fooling around. Sorry, Tyra and Silas. They're very silly when I let them loose. Eiram: Silly? Me? |

You talk about me but never let me have my say. Well, now I'm gonna have it once and for all. Me: Please stop- Cook: Oh, no you don't. Liagiba: Where's Eiram? Cook: I sent him to slop the pigs. Liagiba & Cook: *break out in uncontrollable laughter* Me: Guys, we have an audience. Cook: Sorry.

Silas: Or why I hung around. Tyra: Humph. |

I don't get a kiss? Tyra: Um... *quickly kissess Silas' cheek* There. Silas: I guess I'll take it. *wink* Tyra: *blushes more* |

You see, she had a very difficult past and had allot of bitterness to deal with. Plus she was very untrusting. You could say I helped her work through it all. She can be rather blunt, but she means well. Tyra: *silent* Silas: Was I wrong to say so? Tyra: No... You were just being the noble knight that you are. Silas: I like it when you're in this kind of mood. Tyra: Don't get use to it. Silas: I know. *kisses her cheek again* Tyra: Stop that! *smiles anyway* |

Sierra: Good. Now, what were we talking about? Aaron: You were debating with yourself about the best way to rescue the others. Sierra: Ah, yes. Now... *Wanders off talking to herself* Aaron: *sheepishly* Sorry, everyone. Sierra isn't always very polite. |

Aryn: *bows* "Allow me to introduce myself. I am-" Dani: "He's stubborn." Aryn: "Stubborn? I am not stubborn!" Dani: "You are too, and you've proved my point enough. Thank you." Aryn: "Dani..." Dani: "Don't be rude!" Aryn: "Fine. This," *gestures* "is my sister. She runs the swiftest, throws daggers the fastest anyone has ever seen, and is the wildest Arian to ever roam the world. She is a trouble maker, essentially." Dani: "Aren't you the one causing trouble now?" Aryn: *sighs* "How about you have a conversation with Tyra, Dani?" Dani: *to Tyra* "Hmph! Older brothers. They are so impatient. So, you are a story teller? What type of stories do you prefer to tell? I enjoy epics and adventures." |
