#PennedPossibilities 606 — Is your MC keeping any secrets? Can you tell us more without giving away any spoilers?

Nymeria has been hiding that she's a werewolf for the last 36 years, and masquerading as a Silver Pyre mercenary who are a quasi off-shoot/parallel group of the Silver Flame (yes the same bastards that carried out the genocide of her people).
She killed Jopaul (member of The Pure Flame who created the Feral Plague) 11years ago, and used the on going war between the kingdoms to quietly track down & destroy his remaining research whether or not it was even related to the how he created the Feral Plague.
So yeah, she's got massive secrets...

#WordWeavers 25-02-23. If your antagonist were to suddenly become a hero, what caused the change?

To a large number of people The Silver Flame already are heroes.
What changed? Nothing, for final tally they won the genocide.
They wrote the history books. That's how everyone knows that they "defeated the unstoppable plague of lycanthropes." They pushed the narrative of that they were underdogs (no pun intended) despite being a large theocratic / religious military power.
No one stops to question details that doesn't make sense when you keep pushing that you're saving them from "monsters" when the targets are already viewed with fear and disdain.....

*sigh*
I just realized I'm writing another quasi-allegory for being transgender IRL and the shit we go through.....

#WordWeavers Feb 15 - How well does your MC handle being in crowds?

Nymeria doesn't.
There is a persistent fear of becoming too overwhelmed and her wolf aspect stepping in to 'protect'
Even in Sharn which is a double stone chuck away from Droaam, it's not entirely safe for #werewolves to be out in the open. So Nymeria does her best to avoid prolonged engagement with crowds. A #Werewolf having a panic attack in a crowd would cause a lot of problems in the best case scenario, and could kick off a 2nd crusade/genocide in the worse case

#PennedPossibilities 588 What was your MC’s childhood like? How has their upbringing affected them as they’ve aged?

Nymeria had a rather mundane childhood. She was a decent self taught herbalist, and sketched as much as she wrote in her journal. There was some bullying as her and her parents are a sub type of #werewolf that in common they're called "Rotties" with a mild derogatory notion. Pack Elders more politely referred to their subtype as " Carrion Eaters" because they suffer no ills from eating rotting meat.
| Deep lore | They were called "Mar'bytwa" in the very old Elvish dialect, meaning "Eaters of the Dead[that walks]". They were a response by nature to a surge in undead. They are immune to diseases, resistant to necrotic energies, and regenerate at a much much faster rate. The trade off is they're a bit weaker physically, and resistant rather than immune to non silvered weapon attacks. This history was well forgotten by the time Nymeria's parents were born.

During the war/genocide Nymeria and a few other "Carrion Eaters" survived on corpses left by The Silver Flame inorder to conserve rations for the others. Eventually "Carrion Eater" shortened to "Carry" and took on a tone of respect much the same way you or I would thank a firefighter or EMT.
She accepts the respect, but dislikes being called by "Carry" as it reminds her of the worst times of the war.

#WordWeavers 25-02-10 MC POV: What was your relationship with your parents? Siblings?

Nymeria: "There's just me.. Mum and Da' were waiting until I was 50 to have another child. It was a kind of an agreed rule in the pack. Since most of us would live to 750 or 800 there was a mindfulness to keep the population steady and sustainable. Spacing out those born with the gift allowed us to absorb those that sought out the blessing of lycanthropy.

Then the feral plague came..
Suddenly those that received the gift were themselves able to spread it like an affliction. The genocide of my people followed as a response by the zealots of Thrane.

I miss my parents... They were gentle people. Mum left the hunting to Da' and I. She couldn't stomach the sounds animals made if they didn't die quickly. I sometimes wonder if things would have been different if I was still living in the same area of the woods as them when the plague came...
I last saw them the Autumn before the plague hit.. that was 830yk? I stopped trying to find out what happened to them after 20years of the so called 'Silver Crusade'and that was 140.. 145 years ago...

Sorry.. sorry. You asked about relationships and here I am...
Sorry, I need to go now "

Share the first thing your characters would see, feel and hear if they went outside in the last indoor scene you wrote.

The mottled scents of the glutted street invaded her nose. even with the smoked lenses the natural light that penetrated this lower area felt too bright. She could feel the wolf aspect causing spasms through her body. The heavy lunch had mellowed them, but still she could feel its pained urging to be freed from the long internment and injustice of the incarceration..

#WordWeavers 25-02-01 Let an interesting/unusual character from your story introduce themselves.

I was short of 22 Winters when the plague of madness arrived in our territory, and just past 23 when the zealots of Thrane started their genocide of my people.

I was 151 when I killed the bastard responsible for both, and 155 when a brother I slew to stop the start of a second genocide.

Now I live a half life to keep safe a' hidden from monsters that lurk in every city and still wish to kill me and my kin for existing.

I wonder as I wander. Worn and weary from all the death.

I have no bark, only whispers in dark. If you I bite, then death I shall bequeath.

None more shall others born of bite be.

For that is the way of it.

#Wolfman could have been better.

I like this take on a werewolf story. It's an interresting direction. And the movie is worth a view if you're interested in a new take.

Now, alot of this was not executed as well as it could be. Some better setups, more characterization, & a bit better edit. Acting needed help too. So much -just- a step away from very good.

Still scary. Still about something. Still new. Still worth a look. Allllmost there.
