9. CANDLE: Describe The Main Conflict In Your WIP.

9. 🔥 CANDLE: Describe the main conflict in your WIP.

Thank you so much for the ask, @kaylinalexanderbooks! I'll go with Supernova Initiative, and Scrapyard Boys!

SUPERNOVA INITIATIVE (genre: sci-fi/space opera) In a distant galaxy ruled by a pseudo-utopic governmental regime (which is actually much more dystopic than anything behind the scenes), a young intergalactic thief and his crew end up captured and forced to carry out a heist for the government that they were rebelling against.

While that main conflict is going on, there are also a few important background conflicts/subplots such as :

Jack Tithus, the leader of the crew, ends up forced to become a test subject to the sadistic and highly immoral Director, a scientist who is the head of the Junction's bioengineering and sciences department. Jack struggles to keep this deal a secret from the others while enduring torturous experiments, while also trying to successfully help the team carry out what is quite possibly the most dangerous heist of their lives.

Deimos Soll, Jack's adoptive brother and estranged best friend, grapples with feelings of guilt over the events that led him to leave the crew some years prior - after which he was kidnapped by a mad warlord, escaped, and was forced to make a deal to frame/set-up the crew in exchange for protection against his pursuer. He struggles between the wish to keep himself safe/have revenge on his former captor, and the need to make things right with his siblings.

Kye Thalax, Artemis's former childhood friend turned rival, searches for a way to undermine the Khosmonians as a personal way to get revenge on his absent mother, who betrayed his father and left him to die over a political cause. His morality is tested, however, when he realizes that he wants to keep his newfound 'found family' safe, and that he'll have to find a way to win this war against his corrupted mother without losing the friends he cares for so deeply.

etc

SCRAPYARD BOYS: (genre: superhero, cyberpunk dystopia) A spinoff to my other WIP Mutant Inquiries, set in the same world, during practically the same time period, this WIP follows the story of a troubled youth named Valen, who runs away from the government before he can be sent to a superhuman training institution after the suspicious death of his beloved mother, a journalist who tried to expose the criminal schemes of the city's high and mighty. In the lower streets of the dangerous, crime-ridden city, Valen meets a group of other orphans, runaways, and overall misfits who become like family to him, and as he grows into a brash teenager, unafraid to start and win fights to get what he wants, Valen and his friends start investigating the secrets behind the city's superhuman elite, and the horrific truth the city's government wanted to hide. Honoring his mother's legacy, Valen intends to bring this system crashing down.

8. 🧢 CLOTHING: What is your MC currently wearing in the most recent scene of your WIP?

Thanks for the ask!

I'll go with some characters from Supernova Initiative and Scrapyard Boys (a spinoff to my WIP Mutant Inquiries)!

SUPERNOVA INITIATIVE:

Jack Tithus - In the most recent scene that I worked on for that WIP (that scene being a part of the 5-chapter/episode backstory act), Jack is wearing a worn-out, black leather jacket, a simple white T-shirt, old combat boots, grey jeans and his trinket necklace.

Kye Thalax - I still haven't reached the scene where he is first introduced in this WIP, but when I do reach that scene, Kye is going to be wearing a pitch-black coat with an also pitch black long-neck shirt, dark grey pants, and spy shoes.

Gabi Ophyria - In her first scene, which also happens to be the most recent scene I have of her, she is wearing a black bomber jacket with multicolored, neon ornaments, leather boots, multiple bracelets of different colors, fingerless dark grey leather gloves, white jeans and a long sleeved shirt.

SCRAPYARD BOYS

Valen - He is wearing a ripped denim vest (short-sleeved), an old black shirt with the logo of his favorite punk rock band, ripped-up jean pants, worn-out red sneakers, and a bunch of resin/plastic bracelets.

Saoirse - She is wearing an oversized yellow hoodie, a stripped purple and grey shirt, a choker with the biohazard symbol etched onto it, high-neck white sneakers, and grey sweatpants.

Max - She wears a fun T-shirt with a blue flannel longsleeved shirt over it, black jeans, boots, and some assorted necklaces and keeps a beige leather jacket on her backpack in case she needs it.

for the ask game: CRIMSON for Cassie because I love her

Thank you for the @ray-writes-n-shit!

CRIMSON - What would it take for them to kill someone they know?

Tough question! Especially since Cassie is very much a pacifist who would never hurt a fly and who would just stun/knock out an enemy if needed. I think something that would undoubtedly make her kill someone (a stranger or acquaintance) is if that person is hurting/trying to kill Jack, her older brother, or Deimos, as much as she and Deimos are estranged as of the first main act of the story (or any of her friends for that matter but especially those two). They're very protective of one another since they were practically the only family each other ever had (it was them + Deimos against the world for a long, long time) and she is terrified of losing either of her brothers. But she would probably be really traumatized if she had to resort to killing a person to save them, regardless.

Like, she would do it, but probably wouldn't be able to handle it well in the aftermath.

Otherwise, I think it goes without saying that she would never hurt or kill any of her friends or loved ones. Like ever.
