My youngest brother, Vivace Kondrael, who is too young to have a HW account yet, just made this character fractal and begged me to post it on HW 'to have people tear it apart'. lol

When I get time today, I'm going to help him format it better, after which I will edit this post. :)

Does anyone have any hints or helps for a young fractaller?

Thanks for reading!


Declin is strong, noble, brave (sometimes)and enjoys being around his dragons.

Declin in key words:--bright--campfire---gleaming--propane lamp---

Declin was born a prince, actually, and when his parents both died tragically, his so called “aunt” took him in. He had a few problems with his aunt, but he later learned that his aunt was evil. Declin tends to be compassionate, never killing any thing unless necessary, and though not very brash, he sometimes is very stubborn and doesn't listen to adults in authority over him. Declin had some schooling from his parents, but not a full allotment. Declin dislikes crying in public, though he has been known to cry on several occasions. He's usually happy, with rare mood declines, generally when people have been treating him or his dragons unkindly all day. But for the most part, he is a very well-natured boy.

Key Phrases:
Usually happy
Born a prince
Dislikes crying in public
Rare mood declines
Well-natured
Parents both died tragically


1. Declin has a very cheery attitude, especially when he's out hunting for bird's nests, or looking for small furry animals to keep as pets. He enjoys dragons, because the nicer ones usually have something to say that will cheer him up when depressed.

2.Declin was born a prince, though he preferred to play with street children for some reason. He understood the few school lessons very well, and excelled in math, science, and history.

3. He dislikes crying in public because he thinks that people might assume him to be a wimp, when Declin is nothing like a wimp at all. The only time he cried in public was when both his parents died by assassination. That would have been the most difficult time he ever had. Sometimes he has flashbacks in the book that are relevant to the actual plot, some times it's just he's dreaming and someone wakes him up.

4.Declin has rare mood declines, especially when he's not being treated fairly. Or, in some cases, his dragons are being mistreated. Then Declin gets really mad, especially when he just was thinking about his parents.

5.
All though Declin does have bad moods occasionally, he usually is very bright, cheery, and upbeat. He doesn't become angry easily, and has been known to annihilate tension wit ha good joke or two.

6.His parents both died tragically by assassination, and though most of the time Declin does not show his sadness visibly, sometimes he walks off and contemplates what his parents were like while he could still enjoy them. His parents died by being drowned in the river by the castle when Declin was only eight years old. He prefers that no one talks about the tragedy, but sometimes it's inevitable.

Declin is an Extrovert, and relies on intuition, but he is the thinking type too. He is the perceiving type also, and . Declin can sometimes be foolhardy, and that often gets him into trouble. His strength is not giving in to evil, and that keeps him out of a lot of trouble also. He sometimes does not think about the consequences of his actions before he does them, and that is a major problem. His love language is Quality Time, and his secondary love language is Acts of Service.

Declin becomes stronger, less vulnerable, and thinks before acting more, not as foolhardy, but as stubborn as ever. He tends to make his decisions quickly, though sometimes giving decisions lots of thought. When he does so, he reads his Bible, or in this world, The Holy Scriptures, and prays about his decision. He bases his views off of the The Holy Scriptures, and follows them most of the time. Declin believes that God created everything in the universe, and that belief alters his decisions. According to the Holy Scriptures, the world was made approximately 1289 years ago. He believes in a after life, butt only ones who believe in the Holy Scriptures can live in heaven. So basically, it's just like Christianity, in fact it is Christianity. Declin holds the Holy Scriptures as authority over him, and that does affect his decisions. He's a Christian, externally, and internally.

That Declin is a very well-natured boy, and that he's kind to animals. He becomes real to me in my mind. Ok, though not as well as he could. As one who defies the villain's plots and plans. A globe of kindness, and love. I wouldn't want to destroy him. That Declin can be not very nice at times, but he's really very good boy. The tragedy that happened to his parents. That his aunt isn't his real aunt at all.

Declin's culture comes from the southern part of Husenda, and though he talks fine, since it's a book, you can't see the type of clothing that he wears. At the medium level. The right side. Declin does value learning though it is not his highest priority. Declin is part of the race of the Sendeta people. English. Declin does not have a job, though he does look for interesting fossils and birds when he can. When Declin is angry, he sorta has this fit, but like a adult fit. Declin is not very tidy, and some of the other characters make him clean up a few times in the book.

Declin's Characteristics:
Height: 5' 8''
Weight: 120 lb
Eyes: A soft brown
Hair: Dusty blond
Build: Strong, dutch like.
Nose: small
Has a scar on his right cheek.

Declin fights maddeningly, and uses his head. He likes to use a long sword, but he can use a bow if necessary. He speaks slow and evenly. He has a smooth voice. Declin dresses very causally, and keeps a small pendent that belonged to his mother always with him.

Declin sounds like an interesting character. I like the different mood swings rare though they may be :) It makes him seem more real. Your brother is going to be a writer I think :) It's very well thought out! :D

My only question is what does he mean when he says 'Declin fights maddeningly?' It doesnt quite make sense to me. Maddening means driving to madness or frenzy, infuriating or exasperating or raging; furious and it doesn't just seem to fit there for me, but I may be wrong, hope you dont mind me saying though ;)

All in all, I love it! Tell your brother to keep up the good work! I wrote a whole book when I was a young kid that was 70 chapters long!! Its all good experience and the more he does the better he'll get! So tell him to get writing his book hehe!

Here's what my brother says about 'maddeningly':

"He fights quick, fierce, and somewhat annoyingly."

He also thanks you for your input and positive comments. :) And he is already drafting it, has about 3K words. <smile>

I think Vivace is going to fit right in here, when he gets old enough to join. :D I love the fractal, and Declin sounds really endearing. :)

Azriel- And who do you think you are, running round leaving scars, collecting your jar of hearts, and tearing love apart? You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul, so don't come back to me. Don't come back at all...

A child after my own heart! When this bright mind joins us Eruheran can't tease about my Diegose "dissertation" anymore. I think young Kondreal will settle in nicely.

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Thanks. :)

He keeps handing me drafts to post but I haven't had time to format them correctly and post... :D (obviously, I never went back and fixed the formatting on his fractal...)
