Character Sketch ~ the Duke of Amery & the Count of Jonte

I have officially accomplished something important in my life. I found the names. Big things are happening, I can feel it.

So now I can write the character sketches. Yay!!^.^
I go through phases of favoritism when it comes to my characters. One day it's the protagonist, the next day it's the villain, the day after that it's some nameless person that MC bumps into on the sidewalk who is never mentioned again.
I know favoritism is a dangerous game to play. I've read the story of Joseph. He had some messed up brothers. But the fact of the matter is, my characters don't even know I exist. For all they know, they're just living out their little lives, full of adventure or boredom as I see fit to give them. So it doesn't hurt that much, does it?
All that to say, I'm really liking these two characters right now, the Duke and the Count. They're diametric opposites. The Duke is an embodiment of every ideal of nobility. The Count is ruthless with a capital R, not caring at all who he hurts as long as it's not him.
Which is why they get a joint-post. They're too different to do them separately.

First, let me explain the names.
First, let me explain the characters of the two men who bear the names.
First, let me explain the country and the people in it.
Aghh let's just go to the very start.
'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.'
Lil too far back.

In Which I Debate About What To Blog Then Change the Topic

Me: So, you need to post something today. You're not going to sit back and let this blog rot like the other two.

Me: BUT THERE'S JUST SO MANY DECISIONSSSS!!!!

Me: .....what?

Me: Like, do I put myself on some sort of schedule? Do I only post excerpts of one story so I don't confuse people? Do I find character photos even though I have a hard time confining my characters to only one face? Am I allowed to blog about my life outside of writing? And what if the new Lemony Snicket book just came out and I want to talk about it? WHAT THEN?!?!?!

Me: Okay, let's calm down here! Let's talk about this in a calm manner like the mature adult we are.

Me: WE AREN'T A MATURE ADULT!!!

Lorelei and Vyrrn

I'm going to pretend that I've already written that awkward first post, and just skip over it completely.

Today, I shall introduce you to a little bit of my writing style with a clip with a scene from my Lorelei story. If you haven't already read my synopsis of sorts from this story, I suggest you hop right over to the 'My Stories' tab. Or just click on this. Don't worry. We'll wait for you.
