Re: ORIGINAL STUFF THREAD

[(Anonymous)]

I love all of my OCs, but my favourite is probably the protagonist of the novel I'm working on.

His name is Ansel and is the only child of the nation's court magician in a world where magic is really frowned upon (basically illegal really, with the exception of the court magician). He is expected to take over his father's position down the line, but he really does not have the patience for magic and prefers to play with swords with the young princes instead. When he was 15 he ran away from home to fight in a war that has devastated the nation, though it ends before he gets the chance to fight. Instead of crawling back home, he decides on staying on the run. This all happens before the beginning of the story. When the story begins he has been on the run for close to 4 years when he gets tracked down and tried to dragged back to the castle due to a lot of political reasons. He escapes with help of a tavern maid who is then sort of dragged along with him, and they both end up being dragged into a group of magic misfits trying out for change in magician rights and *~*~revolution*~*~

The reason I love him is partly because he's such a grump. He is a bit cynical and defiant and gets so annoyed with all the goofballs he's surrounded by. Ansel is really just not caught by the revolutionary spirit that most of his companions are and still he's dragged into it as a symbol of sorts (which is sorta hilarious considering how bad he is as all things magic). I love him for all his interactions with the other characters, especially with the tavern maid (who he is really sweet with and they sort of acts like siblings), and with the revolutionary leader/reluctant mentor/magnificent (literal) bastard (I especially love writing their interactions because they are just so snarky together).

Another character I love from this story is the newly crowned queen, Ansel's childhood friend, who really misses him. She is caught up in her own political intrigues and feels overwhelmed by it all, especially considering that she is just 16 and suddenly in charge of a nation in turmoil. She doesn't really appear until quite late in the novel, but I have planned to use letters she's written to Ansel act as interludes between different parts of the story and she also writes the prologue in form of a letter.

This sounds like it would be fun to read--like Westmark, only with real magic and a considerably more enterprising hero. And I mean that in a good way, since I loved the Westmark trilogy.
