You're intertwined with an NHP, floating in a liminal place between alive and dead, when an eldritch-math god takes notice and it has such sights to show you...

You find your way back to a state of being alive.
You now have an unhuman perspective, and unhuman knowledge.

You are nolonger human.

You understand the unknown things that would render madness.
You must erase all traces of your research from before you you slipped into that liminal place.
You must erase other research your former employer conducted as well...

You and the NHP take up the call sign HARRIDAN , and set to task...

Do you develop swear words & insults? If so what do they look like?

Yes, yes I do. One of the things I do IRL is pickup on small details about how people talk + behave. Most people telegraph a lot of information about themselves with how they say things, and the words they use... or choose to use.
The profanity and insults a character uses similarly conveys information about them, their culture, their experiences, their values, etc.

To pull from my SciFi for a change,
Dr.Nimue Anfarwol.
She works with AI, NHPs (Non Human Persons), and 'Eldritch Math' on a cloak+dagger space station.
One of her scathing insults was
"Call a daemon? You could call hot food from the mess hall..."
She's also referred to a project manager as "He's a recursive loop that one... Too bloody stupid to suffocate in a vented airlock."
"That fucking chem light battery?"

It's the texture of the brush strokes that add depth, you know?

#Lancer #531L

#PennedPossibilities 184- Do any of your characters believe in soulmates?

Well #TaRegi was the only one in the #tavernn for me to ask directly.
But, I won't ask her out of respect that the grief of loosing her husband periodically comes back out of the blue and just devastates her.
I don't want to accidentally set her to drowning by asking.

From the way she's talked about Pintac, and how she describe how she felt at the news of his death when she woke up from being unconscious for a month+.

I would say that she does. She might not have those words to describe it as such, but she does. You don't experience that level of despair and unmooring if you don't believe in something like soul mates.

Rook and her husband Sisa? ( #siebyn )
I don't know if they ascribe to the idea of soul mates, even if they are mad lil' love birds.
I don't know them well enough to wager a guess.
Their daughter Maggie? Probably not? She's has only had 2 maybe 3 relationships.Nothing long term or serious (at least none she's spoken of)

Nimue and Veil ( #531L ) Hell if I know, hell if they'd tell me if I asked.

An offhand comment by a co-worker reminded me of the time step-grandma called me "A godless heathen."
Which I'm neither godless (I know many, I just don't directly worship any) nor a heathen (I am a #Witabr / #WitabrWitch )

This is more or less a place holder reminder to myself to ruminat about the spiritual beliefs of the characters I talk to.

#Writing #FantasyWriting

I know #TaRegi & Pintac's beliefs more or less

And Amara (#Dulcamara ) has unloaded A LOT about her and the Solanum Sisterhood.

But I don't think Dr. Nimue Anfarwol ( #531L ), or Maggie "Magpie" #Siebyn have told me much.

I know Nimue incorporated /some/ of her beliefs into the creation of Veil, but she's never detailed what.

#WritersCoffeeClub 1/2: Do you have other artistic leanings? How do these affect your writing?

I sketch and draw. Frequently I sketch out apparel for the characters I chronicle such as #TaRegi and #Dulcamara

Even the icon I use for this account is for the NHP (non human person) #531L or "VEIL" as they go by

Being able to draw helps me visualize what the characters describe to me.
Ta'regi's story, Cantata of the Wild Soul, would translate well into a comic book or animated film with how she speaks and relays her story to me.
