Triplets [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Evergreen[/name_u]

Fourth goes by [name_u]Hollis[/name_u], but it’s his surname. Haven’t quite decided his first name yet, and I’m not sure it’ll matter in the long run.

It’s a dark mystery story with a romance subplot, involving a group of kids who grow up together, so the timeline is a span of about 13-15 years.

Main characters are:
Gideon
Imogen
Darcie (younger sister of Imogen)
Hadrian
Essence
Xavier
Damaris
Rowan (male; younger cousin of Hadrian)

Love interests include:
Roxana (Gideon)
Ivy (Darcie)
Dominic (Essence)
Elora (Xavier)
Malik (Rowan)

I have a new WIP (wow) and my main characters are [name_m]Aldrick[/name_m], whose surname is undecided, although it could end up being Reyenna depending on whether I go through with my crazy plot twist idea, and Elessi, whose surname is A’Iessara, a matronymic (her mother is Iessara). Most of the other characters are [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f] Reyenna, Aldrick’s mentor, [name_m]Calixto[/name_m] Reyenna, Arianwen’s younger brother, and Gwyanna Elsarre, Calixto’s. . . um. . . let’s call her his girlfriend but it’s a lot more complicated than that because technically they’re not together in the first place because of mage laws and stuff and they act like they’ve been married for years. I bet you’ve probably figured out the plot twist I’m considering, although I’m kind of scared to say it aloud (type it aloud?) for some reason, so if you have, could you potentially give me feedback on whether it’s a good idea, mostly just based whether you like those kinds of things.

I know I said this before, but now I HIGHLY implore you to get into the writing business from your superhero name alone.

your ideas in general are too good to go unseen.

Right now my main characters are [name_u]Roux[/name_u] and [name_m]Kaito[/name_m].

[name_u]Roux[/name_u] is a fire manipulator. She is very timid and kind but also badass

[name_m]Kaito[/name_m] is a water maniuputor he is very nice and kind in the beginning but then he kind of becomes mean but had a soft spot for [name_u]Roux[/name_u]

A girl [name_u]Binx[/name_u] ! I plan on having her first and middle initials be BX and [name_u]Binx[/name_u] as a nickname but I have no idea what to do, she’s like a tomboy badass who’s solving a mystery at a dark academia boarding school and it’s horror and it’s cool

Main characters:

  • [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Euphemia[/name_f] (or [name_f]Effie[/name_f] as she is mainly known as)

Side characters:

  • Bexley/Bex
  • [name_u]Addison[/name_u]
  • [name_u]Kai[/name_u]
    There are obviously others but those are the main ones!

I have a LOT of wips right now, so here are… uh, five.

Wanted, Dead or Alive

Rune Doverey
Lark Elwyn
Maeve and Oscar Nolan-Bell (Oscar is not a ‘main’ character, but they’re twins so I figured I’d mention both)
Alexander ‘Zander’ Sealey
Valor Poet ‘Val’ (a cat… a shapeshifting cat)
Serenity
Verity
Amity

Do any of these people have middle names? Don’t think so, unless Maeve and Oscar do… but I don’t know them yet.

The Test of Time

Arian ‘Ari’ Valerius Elswick
Genevieve ‘Vivi’ Segreto-Watson
Morgan Ambrose
Cassiel ‘Cass’ Ridley
Carter Elswick (Ari’s father, historian)
Arturo Watson (Vivi’s uncle, historian)
Zoe Ambrose (Morgan’s mother, auction host)

More a list of characters with names than ‘main characters’, but that’s beside the point.

Bell, Book and Candle

Blackledge Students
Jess Eastwood (male)
Nathan Osler
Elska Rieser
Lucienne ‘Lucy’ Prevost
Phoebe Waters

Undergrove Residents
Echo Gardner
Scout Gardner
Violetta (princess)

Yeah, this is another ‘so far’ list. Definitely need to name the Deputy Head Boy, for instance, because Jess and DHB share a room. They’re going to have to interact at some point pretty soon. And, you know, more than three people live in the Undergrove. This one is the least thought-through so far…

Revocation

The Avenell Siblings
Rhys Sky
Lewis River

Imogen Clover

Hannah Wren

Kieran Arrow
Evelyn ‘Evie’ Lyric
Olivia Haven
Jasper ‘Jazz’ Quill

Callum Miracle

Grace Sonnet

Lillian ‘Lily’ Bliss
Rosaline ‘Rose/Rosie’ Peace
Alexander ‘Alex’ Valor

And they’re the only people set in stone, although I’m working on their parents… think their father is Nicholas and their mother is Kathryn, although she is dead — not from childbirth, surprisingly. Still need to 100% decide on their stepmother’s name.

Not sure what the story is just yet… but it’s definitely got magic involved.

Unsurprisingly, I think.

A Matter of Life and Death (and related stories)

Kiran Ruell
Maisie Ruell
Tobias ‘Toby’ Medlin
Amelia Medlin
Sophie Medlin
Azriel ‘Riel’ Norwood
Cato ???
Merlin
Lennox ???
Gabriela Caruso
Ellis Rawling
Elec/Raiden/Volta… look, this one’s a complicated mess of a sort-of god, even I’m not sure what’s happening with them.

I need more girls in this universe, I think. And to give Cato and Lennox surnames, come to think of it.

Double posting, but have another three (joining Wanted, Dead or Alive and The Test of Time as actual wips. [name_u]Bell[/name_u], Book and Candle, Revocation and A Matter of Life and Death are more ‘I will write these later’) because I’m kinda bored.

Third Time [name_u]Lucky[/name_u]

[name_m]Kester[/name_m] [name_m]Argyle[/name_m]
[name_u]Fable[/name_u] Blight
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] Fairwin
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] [name_m]Argyle[/name_m]

And there’s probably more to come… I need to give Charlie’s demon side the most unreasonably human name I can, for example… but I’ll work on that when it’s not midnight.

A Lion's [name_f]Heart[/name_f]

Okay, buckle up, I’m just gonna list all my attendant names for this one, in order. The main-main characters are in bold (that is to say, the two narrators and a couple more besides).
[name_f]Jacinta[/name_f] Paredes
[name_m]Silvio[/name_m] [name_m]Delgado[/name_m]

[name_f]Thea[/name_f] Diakos
[name_m]Zeno[/name_m] Raptis

[name_f]Milena[/name_f] Ryba
[name_m]Marcel[/name_m] Ryba

[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] Moller
[name_m]Victor[/name_m] Solberg

[name_f]Gisella[/name_f] [name_u]Fiore[/name_u]
[name_m]Elio[/name_m] Mancini

[name_f]Fianna[/name_f] O’Leary
[name_u]Tiernan[/name_u] Athey

[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] Sokolova
[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] Makarov

[name_f]Kristen[/name_f] Holme
[name_m]Soren[/name_m] Rosdahl

[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] Farrow
[name_m]Damien[/name_m] Alarie

[name_u]Sierra[/name_u] Abasolo
[name_m]Raul[/name_m] Iglesias

[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] Lang
[name_m]Ivo[/name_m] Cruetz

[name_f]Freja[/name_f] Kielman
[name_m]Kasper[/name_m] Brunell

And I probably need to pick an air prominent character… likely to be either [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]. According to that list, [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. But I’m not 100% sure yet.

[name_f]Every[/name_f] Sign has two attendants, so… you know, this list goes from [name_u]Aries[/name_u] to Pisces. If every name gets brought up I’ll be impressed, but I needed to be able to know them all. And then again, these are just apprentices. I’ve named three ‘true attendants’, one Virgo and two [name_u]Leo[/name_u], and then there’s [name_f]Callisto[/name_f] [name_m]Vitale[/name_m], the new [name_u]Leo[/name_u] Channeller… okay, this one feels way too complicated to be explaining here. I’ll post about it on ‘Tell Us About Your Story’ later or something.

Darkling

[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] ‘Alec’ [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
[name_u]Kieran[/name_u] [name_f]Merel[/name_f]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u] [name_m]Harris[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] ‘Tom/Tommy’ [name_m]Watkins[/name_m]

Again, definitely a few more to come on that front. They’re just… well, [name_u]Kieran[/name_u] hasn’t actually been named outside of the blurb, but [name_m]Alec[/name_m] and [name_u]Riley[/name_u] and [name_m]Tom[/name_m] have all been named within the story.

Marie-Thérèse marchioness of Belmont (real name [name_f]Collette[/name_f] [name_f]Thérèse[/name_f] Moreau)
