We'll see! I still have to finish #GwenAndGrey and the #CerianAndVaranWar !

#WordWeavers 1/12: If you needed companions to start a rebellion, which of your characters would you choose?

Gwen and Grey would be two good options - a mage and a shape-shifting dragon are always a good starting point.

And Tannis and Ashwan are doing a pretty good job, although really it is their squadron-mates that are doing the heavy lifting.

So on the whole, I'll stick with Gwen and Grey.

#GwenAndGrey #CerianAndVaranWar

While working on #ScoutAndShaman, #CerianAndVaranWar, and #GwenAndGrey, I made a conscious decision to limit my physical descriptions of the characters.

Gwen has red hair. Ashwan is "shorter than expected". Hitomi is very tall and has wings (and Claire would give her a run for her money in height). Grey is never actually described beyond the bauplan they are using at the time - and the fact that their preferred #Dragon form is huge. Tannis, Ava, or Estelle don't get described at all.

My reasoning is to allow my readers to create their own images of how the characters look.

Since then, I have (naturally) run off to #HeroForge, and created 3d models of how I imagine they look!

Except for Grey. I will never really be able to model them, because their form is so mutable.

I will not be sharing these models online, because I really do want my readers to be the people who decide what the characters look like.

OK, so here is my #introduction !

I live in the most isolated capital city in the world, #Perth , and therefore on Whadjuk #noongar boodja. I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the land, and their Elders - past, present, and emerging.

I am male (he/him), and married to the amazing artist @leece .

I have been a #Linux #Sysadmin for most of my professional life, and use Linux or derivatives exclusively at home.

For fun, I play #rpg games, and #boardgame . I also swim as a #mermaid (well, mer-dude), and ride a three-wheeled human-powered vehicle called a Me-Mover. I have a Hobie Outback pedal-powered kayak, which takes me back to my past as a Sea Scout on the Swan. I enjoy playing with #lego, #cooking, #preserving, and many, many other things.

I am #teetotal (and have been all my life) but love making mixed drinks, and have an extensive #zeroproof bar.

I am an amateur #photographer without any particular speciality, but I do particularly like taking shots of #birds (especially #raptors ), and other mer-folk. I also enjoy shooting #pinhole B&W, and play with in-camera #cyanotype (about which I have written extensively on my blog) . To round things out, I take quite a few #solargraph images.

For the past few years, I have been learning Nyoongar (primarily the Marribank).

Recently I have fallen into writing - you can find my two on-going tales as #CerianandVaranWar and #GwenAndGrey . You can also find links to all my stories here: https://rdmasters.lympago.com/p/microfic-and-tootfic-list.html
