I'm not so sure about the queen yet, guys, but I am getting more and more confused with that spirit of the volcano or whatever. keeping with the theme of the story, anything that is not normal to us is a fairie. and You guys pretty much lost me with everything else. how the heck is a volcano spirit supposed to influence a story like this?
quoted for proof nothing is established until terrahex says so.

That's what they are.
In the event that a queen dies, the most powerful fae from her half of faerie takes her place.

Spoiler: Antagonists (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Protagonists (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Misc Characters (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Setting (click to show/hide)


Now for the nitty gritty stuff.

What we still need:

How should the fairies be hidden? Invisibility like in spiderwick or fabelhaven? just hiding underneath our noses?

Quip, you contributed

we still have one more character slot open at max if you guys like Armok's character.


Also guys, I'm going to significantly reduce Aeta's age. by the way, how do you pronounce Aeta?

this is what we officially have.

oops but uh what do you mean by not sanitary?
anyway i was just joking when i said they wern't sanitary

eeeeeeewwwww queens dont seem sanitary. how bout a powerful fey magician as the leader instead?

well iwas thinking that the leader may not always be female (thoughh most of the chracters do seem to lean toward feminine) and i dont think if its a alpha dog type society then a royal name isnt really appropriate.

I thought the that was the whole point of royalty?
It's how it normaly ends up if someone promises their land to someone else...

... Yes I did just edit the quote for no reason other than to add capital letters. I'm sorry, I have a bit of a grammar-nazi side.

it should be something more ominous like the director or something like that. i feel "Queen" doesnt fit the title of a leader whos people are meant to be hidden.

Meh. The Master? The Overlord? The Spider? The Director? The Queen? The King? Him? Her? He Who Must Not Be Named?
 It doesn't really matter what you call a leader. They all can end up looking stupid or scary depending on how they are written about.
The Director has a slight corporate feel to it though, you know? I'm going to suggest if we change from royalty to choose a nature related title. To keep in with how Fae are normmaly(?) written about. Or at least because I think Spider is a cool name.  :P

I'd say keep it simple as possible, just use Him or Her and sometimes the honorary "The all-seeing" for special occasions.

Ummm.... I've already used the word queen numerous times in the first chapter.  :-[ I had forgotten to tell you guys. anyway, the first update will be in a different topic. I'll have it done either by the end of this weekend or on tuesday at the latest, and this thread will become the spoiler thread.

now for something that you guys can do... there are still two characters that could be designed, though I'm not sure I need anymore.

There will be more things that come up as the story progresses and I'll have you guys debate as to the nature of what I'm asking you for.

I can't wait for this second thread to come about! I'll get to act all superior to all the people who don't want to read some major plot twist and go 'oh, that was intresting, shame I knew this was coming before I knew the characters name though.'! And then when everyone gets annoyed I can spoil the plot! Yay!


... I'm joking! Honest! I wouldn't do that! But I still can't wait for the second thread.
