   The Idea
I have An Idea. You are probably thinking:
You: She says she writes.
Me: I do. Or at least I try to.
You: Well, why don't you write something for us?
Me: Okay.
You: Really?
Me: Well, I could try fitting you into the novels I'm already writing anyway. That way both of us get what we want!
You: So what's the plan?

THA PLAN: Write me an outline for a character. They need to be origonal, with good names (for example, "Dray" instead of "Whatchamacallit"-- this IS a story I'm hoping to publish sometime!!). Your characters may be nearly any kind of creature, although I'm mostly looking for teen-aged elves and angels (no humans). Your character may be based upon yourself or not; it doesn't matter. Here's a couple guidelines, so that I can fit you into the world of Nydia:

ELVES: All elves have long hair that becomes lighter in color as they age (they cannot cut their hair). They are tall, have light-colored eyes, and (of course) pointy ears. There are no limits to eye and hair color except extremely dark colors; when creating your character, keep in mind the hair-to-age ratio.
Elves are most skilled in magic-- always in relation to material items, unless they are unusually powerful (for example, they can make rope function as a trap)-- and archery, although many are also good with the sword.

ANGELS: Angels typically have naturally-colored hair and eyes, and large wings with a pattern that often matches the hair color. Although they can fly, they only do so for short distances.
Angels are generally craftier than elves and capable of rougher work. They are best with the sword or with other hand-type weapons (pikes, axes, etc.). They also have magic, but it is usually weaker than elf-magic and more complex angel-magic must have a base in symbols, whether mental or physical.

(I hope this isn't too complecated)

Do you want to participate? I have a whole school to fill with as many different personalities as I can find! Please PM your characters to me and I will let you know how I will use him/her. Multipe entries are allowed!! Let your friends know if you want!!!

(Tomorrow I will post a part of the begining of the story, so that you can meet the main character and see what you can be a part of!!)
