This is the first in a series of status updates containing the content from my blog, Words With Ene. I am relocating it here so as not to lose it when the blog feature is deleted from the Shard, something that Chaos has said he will likely be doing sometime soon. Thank you for bearing with me as I bombard you with these updates.  

About this blog: I got bored.  On this blog I’ll write random stuff I want to talk about, probably, and maybe some in-depth stuff about roleplays or characters because I like talking about that stuff. 

(Entry #1) Character Development - Deteca 

Deteca being able to Voidmake is a good way to see the core of her character development. Voidmaking is using the Void to just destroy stuff. It's not technically evil, but since hardly anyone can do it and those who can are DA, Deteca thinks of it as evil, like Hemalurgy (though that's not precisely evil either, and she somewhat knows that, but it's hard to get rid of prejudices). To me, the significance of her being able to use it is in the contrast. It's just another magic system, but it's one that my character sees as being wrong, and she sees herself as a good person, since her guild was basically founded to do good and be opposed to the Dark Alley.

What she needs to do is find the contrast, recognize that gray areas exist. OOC her development is a way of saying "Yes, we all have our own guilds, but loyalties aside, none of us are perfectly good or bad." Morality is a spectrum, and it's a very subjective one. This is also why I’m going to have her be a DA Denizen in Era 5; the symmetry of having her grow up in that guild rather than TUBA appeals to me. Neither are perfectly good or bad, but she has to figure that out. 

(My comment on this entry: I realized I should probably make a note of this - I was bored when I made this, and most of the time I won't be posting stuff here. I'm sure nobody actually cares about this blog, but on the .00000000000000001% chance someone did, don't expect me to say something here often. )
