Part 1

Ella teleported Todd off the roof and helped him get home. She started walking back to her apartment trying to think of what she was going to tell everyone.

She pushed the door to her apartment open, and Natalie and Jack were sitting on her couch. Natalie was braiding her long black hair, and Jack was picking at his fingernails. When she came in, they stood up quickly.

“What happened?” Jack stepped forward and grabbed her by her forearms.

She pulled her arms out of his grip and pulled her mask off setting it on the table. She sat down on the couch with a huge sigh.

“Babe, what happened?” Jack sat down next to her grabbing her hand, 

“I can’t tell you.”

“What do you mean?” Natalie sat with a concerned look.

“He made me promise that I wouldn’t.” Ella could feel tears starting to form in her eyes. Pushing them back she pulled her hand from Jack’s and stood heading towards the kitchen. 

She could hear someone rummaging around in her fridge. When she walked in Aaron, the tallest guy in the group, quickly stood up with a pop tart in his mouth and Tayler, the skinniest one of the bunch, froze reaching for the peanut butter above the fridge.

Ella sighed and threw up her hands, “Who else is here?”

Her bathroom door opened, and Laura walked out shaking her wet hands. “You don’t have any towels in there.” She said sheepishly.

“Get out.” Ella pointed to her front door the tears starting to run down her face.

Prompt: Hiding an Injury

Part 1 | Part 3

Ella woke up with a bunch of texts on her phone. Jack had sent at least 20 apologizing for not taking her apology and wondering if everything was ok.

Her other friends had sent her similar texts. She smiled and kept scrolling until she found one from Victor.

Congrats you completed your favor. You can now talk to your friends. You also can find the hostage at this address.

Attached to the text was a photo of an address. She jumped up and changed her clothes as fast as she could. As she ran out of the room, she grabbed her mask and teleported to street level.

She teleported across the city and found the building in the photo. Searching through the rooms, she found another hostage.

She helped them home and decided to walk back to her apartment instead of teleport. She pulled her mask off and started walking.

Her phone buzzed, and she saw a text from Jack.

I’m worried about you. Can you talk?

Ella sighed and dialed Jack’s number. Before she could call him, Victor sent her another text.

Before you talk to your boyfriend, I need another favor. Meet me on the roof of the bank in 15 minutes.

You’re a regular office worker born with the ability to “see” how dangerous a person is with a number scale of 1-10 above their heads. A toddler would be a 1, while a skilled soldier with a firearm may score a 7. Today, you notice the reserved new guy at the office measures a 10.

So I screwed up my schedule, and there is a box that is filled that I haven’t done yet. But it’s coming tomorrow! 

Dax ran down the street ducking behind anything, he could find.

He had been living on the street for only a few days, but he had met a few friends that were helping him figure everything out, until today.

They sent him on an easy job. Go to the farmers market and grab food for tonight. Alone.

It was easy. Grab one apple, two bananas, and some hot dogs.

He stopped running and strolled into the farmers market. Leslie had always told him to walk and pretend like he was supposed to be there. He strolled into the farmers market and stopped at random booths.

Apples, bananas and hot dogs. Dax kept repeating the list in his head. This was his chance to prove to everyone else that he could do it.

On Creating Characters- Six Points to Get You Started

As much as I like to complain about my weaknesses when it comes to writing, I’m happy to say that creating characters isn’t one of them. So for anyone who wants it- my quick guide on creating characters.

This list is for anyone who has a vague idea for a character but doesn’t have a plot or a role in the story for them to fill.  It’s for people who have a plot in mind, but lack characters to place in it. It’s for people who love those long, detailed character spreadsheets, but don’t have the patience (or know all the answers) to fill them out. The points I’ve listed below will probably overlap heavily and influence one another- for instance, “societal/cultural influences“ may inform both “philosophy“ and “defining relationships“. It pulls the character together.

Keep in mind that this is not everything you want to know about your character- you should continue to flesh them out as you write them. This is just a baseline, a starting point, an I-just-want-to-write-something-with-this-character-but-I-know-absolutely-nothing-about-them list so you can jump into writing with or without a plot in mind. It describes them as they are on a typical, ordinary day. As you continue to write and develop them, they will become more nuanced and take on a life of their own.

 Base Personality

Jot down some base personality traits. Don’t worry about getting an equal number of positive and negative traits down- or even which is which. Just feel out the character’s base personality.

Significant Historical Events

What events have had the greatest impact on your character (that you know of so far)? Again, don’t worry about getting everything- you can always add more here as they come to you later. Hit the major turning points in your character’s life.

Societal/Cultural Influences

What societal and cultural backgrounds do your characters have? Are they living/working/existing in an area where these influences are the majority or the minority?

Philosophy

What is your character’s default philosophy when it comes to right and wrong, or difficult moral choices? (I usually use the D&D alignment system for its simplicity- feel free to be as detailed or not as you wish).

Defining Relationships

What are this character’s defining relationships? Enemies, friends, and family are good places to highlight. Major conflicts and points of contention are great starting points for plots.

Goals

What does your character want more than anything? What are you preventing them from getting over the course of the story?  If any minor goals pop up while you’re writing, jot those down too.
