5 17 30 for the WIP ask

Thank you for the ask!

5. How long have you been working on your WIP?

It started as a fanfic about three years ago, but once the fic was done I couldn't get the story out of my head. I spent about a year letting it simmer in the background while I finished university and started to focus on it properly again towards the end of 2021. So I guess either three years or one and a half, depending on if you count the fic.

17. One fun fact about the world of your WIP?

Canaries are really common on the streets. The town was previously a mining town, which used canaries in the mines, and some of these canaries escaped and are basically now native to the country.

30. Do any of the names in your WIP have significance?

So my twin sister OCs Isbell and Maeryn have the surname Chorborne, which is a really common surname for their generation in particular because it's the name given to any child found abandoned. The chor is a particularly fast, thick sea fog which occurs in Misichor a lot, so Chorborne basically just means born from the sea fog.

👪 FAMILY - what is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings? 📸 CAMERA - do they enjoy having their picture taken? what's their go-to pose? do they like taking photos? what do they take photos of? for your nerdiest OC

Thank you so much for the ask, I had a lot of fun with it! Asking for the nerdiest OC was a really interesting question - I'm going with Maeryn for this one, because she's the most technically minded of my OCs.

👪 FAMILY - Maeryn has her twin sister Isbell and their adoptive mother Susa. She does everything she can to take care of them, although she is easily frustrated by Isbell in particular, given that Isbell has very few self-preservation instincts. With Susa, their relationship is much more collaborative, and Susa spends a lot of time encouraging her interests. She also dreams about coming across her birth parents again one day.

📸 CAMERA - Cameras haven't been invented yet in Misichor, but Maeryn would try and have her picture taken as little as possible. She has a friend, Kisa, who likes drawing portraits, and she is a good subject for these as long as she doesn't know she's being drawn. If she does, she immediately begins to act very stiff and unnatural.

Character Profiles: The Ghosts

ISBELL CHORBORNE

The creator and leader of the Ghost Broadcast, who takes her responsibilities deadly seriously. Outwardly, her demeanour is welcoming and lively, but this hides a crippling fear of failing to meet her goals and letting down the people she loves. She can go from friendly to threatening in a single breath, and is often reckless in her anger.

MAERYN CHORBORNE

A mechanical expert, sensitive and thoughtful, and as dutiful as her twin sister in her own way. She is very wary about the amount of power Isbell wields, and often reminds her to use it in the most responsible way possible. Quietly, she envies Isbell’s sense of conviction about finding the right path of action. When it comes to resistance, she prefers methods that protect the people around her.

JAK MORCANT

The second child of an influential family, from whom they are largely estranged. Jak is decisive and quick thinking, and impatient to make change happen as soon as possible. They don't tend to trust people's motives very easily, but they care very deeply about improving the lives of the people in their community, and are particularly enraged by anyone they consider to be callous or dishonest.

ROSANA BRIDPORT

A local barmaid who doesn't often talk about her past. Whilst she is charming and witty in public, she only ever truly relaxes amongst her friends, with whom she is much more blunt and decisive. Her plans tend to work more effectively in the long term, and she sees no problem with manipulating strangers to get what she wants, although she would never do that to someone she cared about.

HARLON CARVER

A streetcar driver , and the childhood friend of Isbell and Maeryn. Although he is the only Ghost with no special ability, his level-headedness and ability to think quickly in an emergency have proved to be crucial to the group's operations. His involvement with them has more to do with a desire for inclusion than any strong feelings regarding social change.

KISA CAPROOT

The group's medic, who is also kept busy raising his sister's child. Kisa has a methodical approach to problems which does not always allow him to cope quickly in a crisis, but his caring, patient nature and calming influence on the group are a great reassurance to his friends. Keeping the people he loves safe will always be his first priority.

EVALI RAVELL

As one of the guards for the local council, Evali is in a permanent state of alert, and reluctant to let any little detail slip past her. This makes her highly effective in planning tactics for the Ghosts, but she is stubbon and does not tend to give up easily on a plan, even if it puts others at risk. If she does hurt anyone she cares about, though, she is always quick to make amends.
