Small Character Poll
Added 2025-01-04 17:00:12 +0000 UTCHello everyone ! This is yet another character poll.
Apologies for the bit of radio silence these last few weeks, I took a vacation to visit my girlfriend. It was my first international trip in years so it took a fair bit of preparation and obviously I had other things on my mind once I was there.
I was also bullied by many of you guys on discord to make sure I took that break instead of working during downtime, so blame Argun. Or thank him, depending on your disposition.
With book 10 of The Fallen World starting up, I wanted to know if there were any characters you'd like to see more of/have an update on, as it's the perfect time to have that. That way I can give them some time in the spotlight, maybe even write a whole chapter about them.
Similarly to the previous polls, write or like a comment of any characters you'd want to see more of, and in a few days I'll look up which comments have the most likes to see which characters you guys would prefer to see.
One last thing, chapters 12 through 17 of Manaforged Robotics have been written (the train rides were VERY long), I'll start uploading them once I'm fully settled back in at home.
I hope you guys had happy holidays, and see you in the next few days ! Playwars, out.

Ooh! Since they were introduced, I've been waiting for Alexandra to adopt some Janny (ies?) Into the dungeon. Those would be very small characters!

2025-01-15 05:06:41 +0000 UTCAs with (most?) serial fictions, we have loose ends tied to seemingly obvious foreshadowing growing in number faster than resolutions. In the same vein as the teleport talisman, we initially found that even with that impressive ability, she lacks basic teleporter knowledge. Then she captured and made useful a space mage.... Edit: To be clear, not trying to criticize; just pointing out it's something of a format tendency.

2025-01-12 20:55:29 +0000 UTCActually, the characters I feel we've missed the view of the most in recent events is the king and queen of Asaria. Early on we had a good idea of what's going on with them. A revisit of their court, especially following Allyah's address in the last chapter seems due.

2025-01-05 19:10:40 +0000 UTCUnlike others, I haven't thought of Casisa as a small character, but more a player on ice. If not time for her arc to progress, he day to day should be relatively boring. What's got me wound up is the effects of Rook's ritual. I've been assuming (shaped by the beginning of the first book mostly) that a decent amount of this civilization is running on more genteel variations on slavery, with people trapped in magical contracts of one form or another. There's definitely room for small characters in what this change to the very nature of magic means around the continent and the world at large.

2025-01-05 03:56:13 +0000 UTCBeyond what everyone else already shared, I'd love to know what is up with the Adventurer's guild leadership and (perhaps a less serious chapter) from the bar the crew no longer has time to visit. There is also a certain pirate I'd love more on, but I suspect it we will get more of her when plot develops more.

2025-01-04 17:38:05 +0000 UTCPerspective of one of the leaders of the sapphire kingdom could be interesting we have never gotten a pov from there. Pov of another dungeon especially after Rooks major shake up could be neat

2025-01-04 17:37:28 +0000 UTCBe nice to get a POV from some of the hapless adventurers in the dungeons, perhaps especially the *branch* dungeons that are starting up. And seconding the request for the tame Archmage to get some screentime. Could be neat to see them piloting a mid-boss or something to blow off steam after research.

2025-01-04 17:32:21 +0000 UTCSome more Raika, Thomas, Fernand, and Alyssa would be neat. They were mentioned as "DO NOT TOUCH ON PAIN OF ANNIHILATION", but it'd be nice to see Alex actually let them know she's okay either directly or indirectly, or bring them in to be eyes and ears as "Oh look at us, we're just normal adventurers!" in locations like the Sapphire kingdom

2025-01-04 17:23:24 +0000 UTCThe Archmage stuck in Ghost’s simulation, I want to see her squirm more! Or develop a stockholm syndrome, that’d be… interesting.

2025-01-04 17:15:00 +0000 UTCFrom "I really wish we saw more of this person" to "wouldn't it be nice" Princess Cass Grant the Giant (airfleet mercenary guy in charge of asaria's airforce) Emelia's Mom (has got it going on) Mr. Jared, the butler, alternatively perspectives from the more sentient/sapient of the golems (Helljumper, anyone?) More AI/in-charge-creatures of the various deadzones, like seaside 9 Other dungeons, and how they do their daily things during this trying time General-President What's-her-face in charge of the New Republic President of Tark Gift God of Light whatever's buried in the center of alchyeros (perhaps the GoF's corpse is there?)

2025-01-04 17:06:24 +0000 UTCChevkov’s Princess holding a very sexy and distracting teleport talisman, ready to be used at any time!!!

2025-01-04 17:04:56 +0000 UTCI, personally, am hopeful that the princess that Allya is friends with uses that teleport talisman and takes up a greater, more immediate role. That was teased like 7 books ago!
