Writers Does your story have these things?


Question


Writers Does your story have these things?
Following on in Joss question vein...


Answer


Religion Check. Its about learning to understand God, while sharing information with God in this religion God is mostly inactive, and would not be prayed to for assistance. The entire goal of the religion is to fully understand the intentions of God, and carry them out. Many sects are still squabbling about whether they have the answers yet or not.brbrLanguage Halfcheck. Its an ongoing project, and wont play much of a role in the completed work. Its not yet big enough to have a whole conversation in. However, it has plenty of interesting stuff, some of which isnt found in any language Ive heard of. Im sure any serious linguist would call it stupid, though.brbrMagic nope. I dont use magic in my stories.brbrRaces Yes, three. Two are more heavily developed, though. They are alien in nature, and the language I mentioned belongs to one of them.brbrSpecies Aside from the sentient ones above, Ive been too lazy to create flora and fauna so far. Theyd be nice, but overall irrelevant to the story.brbr Any closeknit, loving, fully supportive families? Nobr Any children under the age of ? Nobr Any characters with a fanatical obsessionfixation? What is it? Nobr Any characters with diagnosed depressionsocial disorderpersonality disorders? Semi almost everyones a few screws lose from their circumstances, but probably not medically.br Characters who feel as though they belong in gender to the opposite sex? Nobr Characters other than antagonists who have an extremely different world view to you? Yes My characters arent me, and none of them share an overall worldview with me. Two of them view things drastically differently, in regards to human nature, religion, and political views. I wont bore you with details here.br Female characters that require saving i.e. Archetypal damsel in distress? Once, but Im convinced it was justified. Being held captive was a horrible experience of the character from the beginning of the story, and alters the way she behaves the whole time. She is literally strong enough to take care of herself and these were pretty unusual circumstances. Her capture was also relevant to the overall story as well as characterwise.brbrOn a related gender note, one of my races is femaledominated only as much as we are maledominated which is portrayed neutrally. I tried to make gender largely irrelevant to the story.brbr Characters with extremely boring backgrounds that they cannot angst about? Yep. I wont bore you with the details.br Any characters with more than one mindspiritsoulconsciousness? Nobr Characters with extremely bad luck in loverelationships? A bit. One character no longer actively looks for love, but its not quite due to bad luck and doesnt come into the story much.br brDo your mainsemimain characters have any of the following traits br Unnatural haireyeskin color i.e. Pinkbright orangepurpleblue Theyre not Sues. br Changing eyecolor? Theyre not Sues. br Tendency to cry at the slightest thing? Theyre not Sues. br HomicidalViolent impulses? Not except one character towards one particular personbr Extreme cowardice? Nobr Being of a racespecies other than human? Yes, I mentioned nonhumans above.br A really low IQ Nobr Compulsive lying Nobr Gets jealousenvious of others really easily Nobr HaughtinessArrogance Nobr A predisposition towards lazinesscomplacencyindifference Nobr brbrSecond half proudly copypasted!
