Would your protagonist be willing to kill one or a small group of people that are extremely close to them if it was the only way to save their world from absolute destruction?

Yes. Glory is a dark protagonist, and she kills people who are close to her in the novel (though not her friends). If it were a choice between killing her friend/friends or letting the world die, she would tell her friends she loves them and then kill them in the most painless way she knows (and she knows plenty). Her thoughts about killing are definitely "Sometimes you need to sacrifice one to save many."

What is their biggest secret?

It’s got a lot to do with somebody who died a long time ago. Truthfully, she’s forgotten about it, but doesn’t realize how much it still affects her health and worldview.

Would your MC like carpet or hard wood floors in their living quarters?

Shade would prefer carpet because she would like to practice handstands and cartwheels in her home without her parents thinking she's going to get hurt.

If your MC could rename him/herself, what would they choose and why?

She'd want a Japanese name so she'd feel like she actually belongs to that side of her family.

If your MC could go back in time and change one decision in their life, would they and what would it be?

She would have continued living on the streets rather than taking a room in the inn. It would have removed some of the dark things that happened in her life.

How does your MC treat people who are better off and worse off than them?

Other than her father, who was the single most wealthy person on her world and effectively it’s dictator, nobody is “better off” than her in terms of money. Since her father is dead, she now owns everything he built, meaning nobody is better off than her socioeconomically. So for the “better off” part of the question I will extend the meaning of “better off” beyond the material and to those who have things her life lacks (at least at the start of the story): meaningful relationships and a family.

People who have those things she internally envies, as she misses her father dearly, and deep down longs for friendships, but outwardly she scoffs at those people as plebs and peasants at best, or phonies who are just as selfish and terrible as her, but just lie to those they “care” about and even themselves about that fact. Other people’s happiness makes her miserable, and she delights in making happy people feel as hollow and small as she does on the inside. Thus, she treats them with contempt and scorn, and looks down her nose at them in an effort to make them feel small or worthless.

By the same token, she finds the plight of the poor and the masses to be absolutely hillarious. She knows her wealth comes from sheer dumb luck, and revels in the fact that she lives a devilishly luxurious and gluttonous life at the expense of the masses. She loves making people worse off than her feel poor, and rubs all her privileges in their faces at any opportunity she can. She delights in actively tormenting those with less than her, and being the vile troll she is does so simply to laugh at and have fun with their reactions.

Your Protagonist is warped into an RPG videogame style fantasy world and is given a choice between the following classes: Paladin, Warrior, Theif, Archer, Mage, Priest/Priestess, Druid, Necromancer. Which do they choose to become?

S: An archer. She read The Hunger Games over the summer and thought Katniss's skills with a bow and arrow were cool. (It’s 2011, in my book, so that series is kind of a big deal lol.)

J: A warrior. He's had to learn to fight in real life, so it just feels like the natural choice.

Is your MC usually a punctual type, or does (s)he feel like (s)he's always running late for things? Why?

Rodwyn: You would struggle to ever get her to arrive ON time. She rarely notices that she’s running late and never acknowledges it. She’s haughty enough to think ALL deadlines are superficial.

Your MC is forced to stay up all night. How do they feel tomorrow morning? How do they feel when they realize they’re not gonna get any sleep tomorrow night either?

She is an hardcore VR gamer, so she is very used to being up all night playing VR games. So needless to say, sleepless nights are nothing out of the ordinary for her. Sure she feels like crap after, but she has pills for that. The game world matters more than the real one to her anyway.

If your protagonist is from a non-magical setting, how would they react if suddenly confronted by magic? If your protagonist is from a low-tech or medieval fantasy setting, how would they react if suddenly confronted by advance sci-fi technology?

Thomas: He's from a world where magic and science is equal so he probably wouldn't freak out, but he would miss the magic or the science depending on which setting he was thrown into.

How did your MC meet their best friend?

S: Cheyenne- First grade; Beth- S sat with her in Chorus class on her first day at her new school (11th grade), and Beth accepted her almost immediately and asked her to eat lunch with her and her friends.

Has your MC ever desperately wanted to buy something frivolous, just because it was trendy, or because it looked cool in a window display/online/on TV/etc.? What was the item? Did s(he) actually end up buying it?

YES! Being a daredevil, Shade loves to buy props for her acts and outrageous costumes. Things like colored-fog machines or a giant sign of her. But she's making huge piles money, so her parents don't really care as long as it won't kill her.

What's the most beautiful sight your MC has seen? Excluding people!

The night sky, because it is the most infinite view my MC could get.

How does your MC celebrate his/her birthdays - rough partying, quiet get-togethers or perhaps not at all ?

Jake- Does nothing because he's dirt poor. Maybe he'd go out to the forest and if he found something tasty, like berries, he might eat some but take most of them home for his family. His mom might give him an extra spoonful of stew.

Thompson- would steal a stale cake from his father's bakery. Probably one that he baked and hid behind the rest so it would go stale on purpose.

Gretchen- would want to throw a lavish party, but would be told that she had to work at help assissiting her father with his patients and then would sulk the rest ofthe day.

Has your MC ever been injured prior to the story?

Jake- No.

Thompson- Technically, yes, but they were whores, so he doesn't count them. It was fine for entertainment.

Gretchen- Yes,her betrothed. It was really nice,as far as kisses go, but she felt like something was missing, not forced, but kinda settled.


Has your MC ever been on a date? If yes, how'd it go?

She’s been on several. She briefly went out with someone prior to the book, but he was a total dud. Then, she goes out with C; it goes well for the first few dates... before things start going sour, for a couple of reasons. She actually dates a few fellas before the main L.I. comes along.

What does your MC usually do on weekends?

Calatrix: Since she works as a cook for a small orphanage, she still has to work on weekends, but she loves what she does. But in her free time she's usually trying out new hair styles and colors or recipes.

What's the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to your MC?

Jake- Too many, but the thing that embarres him the most is being unable to provide for his family and having to rely on the wealthy members of town for charity.

Thompson- That time when he went to lay with his first whore. He was super nervous and ejaculated prematurely as she getting undressed.

Gretchen- During some big party of her parents, she was dancing and her corset came loose and suddenly she was on display. Or would have been if the gentleman she was dancing with hadn't whipped off his cloak and wrapped it around her.

Going for a walk, your MC stumbles across an abandoned kitten, what do they do?

She would take it in. She already has a few kitties, so one more never hurts. She’s got the space to spare too, considering how well off she is and how many massive estates she has. She has a thing for cats, and her kitties are among her few positive relationships...so she would not have any reservations about adding another one to the family, espcially if she felt it needed her.

What was your MC’s favorite cartoon growing up as a kid? If their world is too low tech to have cartoons or your MC just didn’t like them, what was their favorite children’s book growing up?

Mortin: He was born in 1963 so he would have watched 60's / 70's (Earth) cartoons until 1975 when he was abducted by an alien from outer space. Then he would have watched alien cartoons.

If your MC had to donate to a charity what type would it be?

Shade makes plenty of money, and she's not afraid to donate. Her favorite charity is to orphanages because her best friend is an orphan.

What is your MC's last name's meaning, and do they live up to it?

Guillory and it comes from Germanic or French (I honestly forgot) for Will + Desire +Powerful. I believe this works as his magick is based on his will and desire. He lacks it at first but grows into himself and is able to positively put forth his will to influence his magick properly.

What is your MC's personality type (Analyst, Diplomat, Sentinel, Explorer)?

Shade-- Diplomat, although I really thought she was more of an explorer, she was just too much of a leader to not be a diplomat. She's ENFJ.

What's your MC's worst habit?

Jake- refusing to ask to help even when he needs it

Thompson- tries to help people when they don't need/want his help

Gretchen- twirls/tugs/plays with her braid

Does your MC like to dance?
