666 Does your MC believe in a higher power? What about evil?

1/2
Kira smirked as she clasped her hands in front of her face, the lighting on board changed & throw a shadow over her face, only her heterochromatic eyes where still reflecting some light in the darkness, keeping her voice low as she started speaking.

At the same time, in another part of the galaxy, a speaker started gently humming as AI started to talk to some nefarious guest.

" "Good, Evil, aren't that 'cute' ideas? The universe doesn't work like this.

I fought hard to protect what we have, every inch of our society is build on achievements of others.

Some had do be dealt with others had to be supported, some needed saving.

Ask the ones, that my deeds saved, ask the ones, that my deeds stopped, ask the ones, which lives I had to end.

They all will tell you about their Stories, about me & you will get very different pictures.->

Yes, evil exists. It's not an unseen force, that influences us, it's part of us, it is what we do, what we decide to do & how others tell our story.

The thiefs, the monsters, the murders, its us.

After all, in our own stories, we are the heroes right?""

At the same time, in two different places in the galaxy, the same speech was given.

Editnote: reworked the phrasing and hopefully made it clearer for the reader.

Thanks @VVitchy and @anderlandbooks and my not Mastodon friends to remind me that not everyone has the same understanding of my texts as I do.
Thanks a lot.💚🙏

Okay writing community I need an opinion because I need to figure something out.

Please tell me how you interpret the above answer I gave to the Penned Possibilities 666.

One or two+ of my friends seem to completely read in a different way as I do...

I rarely asked them what they think about my answers here but today none of them gave me an answer I would even have considered and now I'm wondering if I'm that bad in contexts or are they simply didn't get it...

So please tell me your interpretation

#PennedPossibilities 666 #follower #question #WritingCommunity #Authors #scifi

667 At the moment, what is your MC’s highest priority?

Kira, staying alive, keeping the rest of the crew alive and getting the mission done, so everyone can get home secure and alive.

Arkham, bringing the crew save into the mission territory, keep the ship alive on mission, bringing them safely out and back home.

Ashlei, keeping the crew happy, alive and save... Their is a slight conflict between her programming of keeping them happy and alive vs following the orders of the alliance, but since she isn't a recognized person but a part of the equipment, she doesn't have the opportunity or more the option to disobey, also this mission seems to important and one crew member already got lost.
She doesn't want that to happen again and since she is connected to Kira, she doesn't want let that sacrifice go to waste...

Tell us how self and socially aware some of your SCs are. Are these two things connected in any way for them?

Every soldier has to pull their weight alone to a degree, but if they don't feel like it, it's necessary to communicate, it's not even necessary to communicate what's wrong just that something is wrong.
Than the crew can keep an eye out for each other.
This is something deeply ingrained in Terran's nowadays, something deeply rooted into the Talithi culture, the Somwhar culture, the Asza'ni/Trellwa'ni culture especially & even the Bethosians understand this core value of the Union.
Some people on board are far more aware of this than others. Thats why they have become doctors, thats why Talisa is doubling as the crews "Mother on Duty."
Why Mondira, as a Rimworlder, joined the Alliance/Union Military.

MC POV: With whom do you feel most at home?

Kira:"Nowadays it's the Ghoz'Tarc because of Ash and the crew. And I think that Arkham is to blame too for that... You know it's kinda weird, it always was with Ann but that... Shouldn't I despise the ship from the mission that took her away?"

Arkham:"Recently Kira and Ash."

Ashlei:"The acceptance of my recent development seems above my highest approximations. Calculating behavioral patterns of individual groups and individuals is always a complex process, but I am... Glad ... That the crew accepted my personal modifications and my progress."

Tell us about your SC’s go-to comfort food.

1/2
Mondira, she loves Lorgat an Aszal plant that was cultivated on other planets by the Somwhar. The original Lorgat has a meat like consistency, structure and a heavy umami flavor, it shares some similarities with mushrooms but is infact a plant. The leaves came be eaten raw most people give it a spicy sauce but Mondira loves them roasted/toasted with Wasabi and Bethosian Chocolate. The roasted Lorgat leaves get dipped into a liquid Wasabi topping and than fried for some seconds before it is covered with hard Bethosian Chocolate flakes that melt do to the temperature.
Bethosian Chocolate is indeed toxic for Terrans but especially humans from. the rim. It's unknown why Rim Humans react so much more to it than Terran's but theories involve all kind of borderline ridiculous and serious explanations.
Rim Humans should not eat more than 500 gramm a year. ->
#PennedPossibilities 670 #StarRyde #MondiraRamann #GhozTarcCrew #writing #SciFi #WIP

670 2/2
Terran's get away with double the amount (1kilo a year in both cases it's a Union Standart year of 360 Terran days).
Mondira has to juggle the amount of original Bethosian Chocolate and her very disliked replacement from the enzyme printer. A key element in the original chocolate is a HHC a Hexahydrocannabinol. As the name suggests it has similarities to Terran THC in its structure and psycho reactivity. In Terrans/Humans it gives a very pleasant feeling, suppresses hunger and slight arousal however it can not be completely metabolized and needs medical intervention over time to be neutralized otherwise the side effects reach from diarrhea and puking to permanent changes in the nervous system.
Mondira has fond memories of this combination since earliest childhood. However the joy of real Bethosian Chocolate is an medical announceable activity for Union & Alliance personal.

671 Tell us how your MC would react to hearing their favorite song or piece of music.

Kira hum gently and quietly along she stopped singing along time ago while under siege.

Arkham probably yell and scream while pushing the ship to its limits.

Ashlei is not programmed to value one piece of music over another, however she is able to choose music that has a higher possibility to fit to a crew members personal taste. Songs that provoke a more pleasing reaction to the listening person will be valued higher in their personal interaction subroutines. Their are also mathematical perfect songs that follow certain principles in mathematics, this are interesting from an data perspective and Ash has gone to great length (for an AI) to discover such songs and the perfect volume & audio configuration for interested crew members like Rose Draken.

Does your SC often reflect on their own actions? Do they ever think about the past, and what they could have done differently?

Some do some don't.

~40+/- crew members, and at that point I haven't had any scene's nor thoughts about that.

Tell us about the kindest thing your antagonist / villain has done.

Antagonists.

AI: not applicable do to lack of data.

Ariaene Johnsen (AJ): they saved children, parents and pets from invading Eltaryn forces.

Villains
The Eltaryn: can you call it kind of an deadly intruder if it dies before it can kill anyone? I think that the most 'kind' you will get out of this gorilla cockroach alliance at least with the current stand in information the galaxy has.

What is your SC’s legacy? What do they want to be remembered for and what might they actually be remembered for?

J:"I don't think that I aim for a legacy. My goal is that people relax and feel good even if I'm not around.
I protect because I'm good at it and my loved ones deserve to be protected, as do all other citizens of the Union and every non citizen."

#PennedPossibilities 674 #StarRyde #JHarveyGladstone #writing #SciFi #WIP

Kira: small 2 Parents, Father and Mother both female 3 Kids, all female, she is the last of them.

Second Family small 2 parents, Father male, mother female 2 kids, she herself and Anika her slightly younger "big" sister. Only Kira and her Mother are still "alive"*.

From a legal standpoint her second family is part of her first family too and vice versa to do both Fathers growing up as part of the same family/household but wheren't biological siblings like Kira and Anika

Adoption is a widespread habit in the future as it is giving your child up to adoption for personal reasons and not to forget many get orphaned by ongoing war.

Arkham: small, single child of two parents a Father male and a mother female.

Ashlei: her family are basically Ship lines and precursor Ai's as much as the scientists creating her.

[Canholder? Sorry🤪]
What is your MC's alcohol (or cognate intoxicant) limit? What games do they play as they get drunker?

1/2

That depends on what you serve.
Terran beer and other alcoholic beverages can be filtered out easily by most soldiers implants or genetic modifications (if Terrans go for that).
Their is so called Rocket Fuel a watered down Bethosian Whiskey no Bethosian would ever touch. It still burns despite the higher amount of water in it and some soldiers drink it like water...
Kira prefers Terran beer. Deutsche Bierbraukunst survived as did some other very specific alcohol production processes. Alcohol is still used in rough colonies to make drinkable liquid from otherwise unhealthy liquids and especially some rim worlds are proud of their brewing capabilities. However the drug that very special Terrans and Talithi love, are each other. In a cruel joke the universe made them

#PennedPossibilities 676.001 #StarRyde #alcohol #writing #SciFi #WIP

2/2 toxic for each other, while Talithi breath cabon monoxide in & oxygen out (not on a one to one scale) they would be perfect as companions in settlements or onboard ships but in a cruel twist, we & them exhale particles that, if they go into the lounge of the other species, will react with the biological system & produce a byproduct that intoxicates them & is hard to get rid of. For this reason masking up while in the room with Talithi or Terrans is a given social norm. No other species has this reaction to Talith or Terran breath. A sign of deep trust between both species is to lift the mask for a short period while having close contact. In a filtrated environment this isn't a problem but in non filtrated environments or closed cycles it gets nasty quickly.

Kira has some bad memories of waking up with a full intoxication via Talithi breath including 2 days at a hospital, so if it is intoxication it's beer.

What is your MC’s greatest skill?

Kira survival
Arkham piloting
Ash learning

678
How important to your SC is their hometown or where they came from? (For example, are they proud of it, or are they considered a hometown hero?)

There are two extremes.
The Union.
People don't really have strong heritage ties at all.
Of my SC's, only Doctor Kaiden has a sort of habit, that he often remarks that he is of Korean heritage, this is something remarkable few people do and it's just how they tick.

People in the Union don't bother with such things, after all not a region is responsible for a decent person but a person being decently treated as such makes a decent person.

The Rim worlds and other worlds.
Hero worship and heritage are still a thing especially Rims tend to think of them as somehow superior, Mondira struggles with her mother being almost patri(idi)otic to the world they live on. She considers her daughter to be a shame for joining the Union & the Alliance.

#PennedPossibilities 678 #StarRyde #DrKaiden #MondiraRamann #writing #SciFi #WIP

679
What was your SC’s childhood like? How has their upbringing affected them as they’ve aged?

Not everyone had a pleasant childhood and not everyone had a bad childhood.
Not going into detail that much atm because I'm not working with any of my SC's atm and I want to keep options available for when it feels right. I have a rough setup for everyone but some details are missing g overall and for most characters because I just don't want to go into that much detail beforehand anymore...

#PennedPossibilities 679 #StarRyde #GhozTarcCrew #writing #SciFi #WIP

@AnnaSaultron

Not going into detail that much atm because I'm not working with any of my SC's atm and I want to keep options available for when it feels right.

💫 You are thinking like a storyteller! It was an ah-ha moment when I learned episodic "TV" doesn't mention, for example, brothers or sisters until a story demands having one or definitely not having one. Keep those options open.

Personally, I answered a Word Weavers POV I wrote a few days ago as Not Canon so I could clawback a characterization for this reason.

@sfwrtr thx I always love blind spots or white spots on a characters story because that's something to explore. In roleplaying sessions I often have some mystery around most NPCs and if it is only where they hide their diaries.

It often makes player more engaged in the moment and very invested if auch things will be resolved later.

Personally I hate open ends but I totally get why they exist and not every "mystery" should have a solution because sometimes it simply takes away too much. :)

And about the canonical interpretation. As long as I don't finish the story the prompts are as canonical as possible and also ment as a reference, that is why I use the hashtags so plenty but ultimately it's all a work in progress and many things can change on the way.

Kira smiled sadly:"I respect it, it's not that I have no fear but its more for the ones I leave behind. There is this ancient quote 'death is only painful for the survivors.' I know it first hand.
I could have & believe me, at times I wished I had, died, at least 7 times im aware of. I lost my parents, my sisters, my second dad, I still don't believe that Anika is dead.
I lost my first command.
I survived, thanks to my skills or to others who wheren't as lucky.
It does a swex to your mental health & changes your perspective drastically.
I owe them to fight, so others don't have to feel this crushing, devouring emptiness.
In the end, we all will, but at least, I will leave this life a better one if I eventually do."

Arkham swallowed, her thoughts heavy, unable to speak while Ashlei reevaluated the dosage of Kira's medication.

Let’s talk about your current WIP. Although it of course depends on your genre, do you have an antagonist or an evil villain?

Yes.

#PennedPossibilities 681 #StarRyde #Writing #SciFi #WIP

682
MC POV: Tell us about one of your bad habits.

Kira:"Bad you say? I don't have any."

Arkham:"Come on you always try to avoid such questions."

"What do you want to hear? My eating habits are bad, that I'm to sneaky or that my humor seems forced at times? Or do you consider my folding of paper figurines & placing them inside peoples belongings as invasive? That I don't take the mission seriously? That I decided to go full mission instead of going back to base?
That I started to loose connection to my crew since the merge? Or that I 'feel more computer than Ash'?
Fun Fact I'm new to this 'being part of a symbiosis with a computer who runs everything'-thing, my brain wasn't programmed to deal with that & if you ever feel your left thruster itching you can tell me how to handle that situation.
Yes I'm stressed as swex & I'm not as open with it as I used to but don't you think I can have my little bit 'it's fine' that I have left?"

#PennedPossibilities 682 #StarRyde #KiraKnox #WIP

683
Can you describe a memorable interaction you’ve had with a reader about either your current or past WIP / book?

Atm I'm not im the right headspace.
So I skip this one.

#PennedPossibilities 683

684
How does your antagonist deal with grief?

Skip again.

#PennedPossibilities 684

685
What genre is your current WIP?

Is Military Queer Cozy Utopian Dystopia SciFi a thing?

Maybe I should do a genre reveal party once it's on its way?
Like a gender reveal party for baby's but actually a useful waste of time and resources?

SciFi because will it ever be finished is written somewhere in between the stars. I guess it will be finish* when humanity arrives at Alpha Centauri.

*Maybe I should write it in Danish instead of Finish after all Denmark is closer to where I live...

Btw this garbled mess of an answer is why I don't answer much about my characters atm... Welcome to my brain jumping all over the place and it doesn't even has legs...

686
Have you thought of any alternative endings for your WIP, or have you already decided on the perfect ending?

Indeed I have plenty to choose from 3 are considered for the canon ending and I even have a fourth in which all 3 would work but would completely throw if the perspective of the story, atm I'm looking how to put hints for all 3 and the forth ending into the story, despite writing such stories as they just happen to exist in my head the moment I'm writing, I also have some key factors and moments I consider "must haves" this might have to do with my love for open/multiple end games that spark multiverse story possibilities. I worked on a fanfiction of Fallout 4 in which both possible main characters meet at the end of the story despite that the non chosen character get iced in the beginning. It also sparked a Time Paradox idea how all my Fallout Characters from all games are related to each other.

How much does your SC value communication in their relationships with others? Are they prone to being misunderstood?

Jenkins is a bit scarce with words he tries to communicate clear and mostly uses Union standard on missions. He isn't big about revealing his soul and heart to others or his inner most thoughts, that said he lets shine through more than he might realize.

Okay, Jenkins just hit a switch in my head and the whole character got a shit load of backstory more than before... Fork! 😅 That changes a lot but explains a lot too... Not sure I like it, but it even makes sense with his style... Luckily I have to "fill up" around 10 - 20 years from "now" til he show's up.

What does your MC do for a living? Are they self-employed, or do they work for someone else?

1/3
Kira
Exist because this is enough to get universal income paid by the Union.

She works however as a soldier (and gets that payment on top til she hits the upper income break of course).
Her rank is Commander in the Alliance, the military Strike Force of the Union that mainly exists to prevent further attacks from the invading Eltaryn forces, which are the main reason for the Unions existence in the first place. Her official posting is as honor guard commander onboard the Phoenix the Unions Flagship and mobile government seating. Her real job is as a S.H.A.D.E. to deal with secret missions and keep up the Law in regions that are considered soon to be warzones if her actual mission don't plays out as planned and she recently acquired the rank of Acting Captain do to the loss of the former captain, her Sister...

Arkham
Alias Abbisheek Paktii
Flight Commander First Class posted at the Phoenix Fleet, her actual posting Flight Commander on the Ghoz'Tarc.
She is one of the usually 5 Head staff members, 4 since the loss of the Captain. Her work next to steering the Ghoz'Tarc is to schedule the other pilots working shift's together with the Captain and the XO's to make sure the mission is a success and give ship performance evaluations to the engineering department.
It's her responsibility to bring them into the action, keep the ship alive and carry them home with minimal losses, non at all would be favorable.

Ashlei
A.S.H.L.E.I. is the Ghoz'Tarc or at least her AI. Her job is the whole reason for her existence. She is programmed to support and protect the crew at all cost but also to make sure the mission is a success, her responsibilities include running the ships automated Systems and act as the interface

#PennedPossibilities 688 #StarRyde #Arkham #Ashlei #GhozTarc #writing #SciFi #WIP

between crew and ship, as the operating system for everything on board that isn't part of the crew and to make sure that systems like the mycelium production/recycling system runs without interference. She programs the Enzyme Printers and regulates the nutritional supplements, the air filtration, gravity plating, sanitary systems, surrounding control, control the engines and the RYDE Core, etc.
The Ghoz'Tarc can be controlled without her but, she makes every wheel in the machinery run as smooth as Bethosian Silk over a Asza'ni newborns skin.

What does a perfect world look like to your MC?

Kira's POV
"A perfect world would be just a tiny bit imperfect, so we still have things to strive for.
Otherwise?
Equal rights for everyone, free coverage of basic needs however they look like, living free without fear & yes I would prefer this to be the case even with our enemies, the Eltaryn.
We don't need some sort of perfect paradise just enough understanding to form goals together working towards a better future together.
The Union is pretty much the best we achieved & I would keep a lot of it.
Universal income, high valued work, freedom of speech & thought, individual responsibility for persons & companies, general right & duty of education, freedom of living where you want, universal healthcare, housing & childcare. I believe that if we know the needs of our neighbors we will find a way to incorporate their views & needs in a fair society."

XO 2 Troika:"For my wife or my daughters, it's not easy to live with 4 genius, kind and free spirited Lady's but I won't miss a single moment we have together. Usually our missions don't take so long and I hope they can forgive me..."

Ash:"Yes Commander. The Number of Planet Surface Missions according to your request parameters is 208."

"Number of missions to Space Habitat Nations included non recognized states, same parameters otherwise?"

"26."

"Ignoring double mentions how many before I entered Alliance Service?"

I guess this video with scenes from the TV series "Dead Like Me" final movie and the song that played in the background of the end scene describes it very well.

#PennedPossibilities 692 #StarRyde #writing #Worldbuilding #SciFi #WIP

Let me see
a lot of spoilers...
Okay that one works

"Friendship" Station wasn't just an injury of her body but a really severe one. With the age of 6 Kira was hit with rubble & debris, as a intermediate floor & parts of the upper Talithi structure crashed down on her,polluting the Terran area with uncleaned O² & high CO² concentration. Friendship Station is a BIG station dedicated to the first meeting between the ages old pen pal species, build with plans from Terra & Morrakhar so both species could met in the safety of a home planet close habitat, at L5.
In seconds the large park became a burning death trap & only few survived. From Kiras family of 5 she was the only one. Her uncle & later adoptive Father saved her by finding, sharing his oxygen & digging her, pretty much mangled body, out singlehandedly. Kira survived thanks to him.

#PennedPossibilities 693 #StarRyde #KiraKnox #WIP

Kira looked up, her eyes shimmering like glass: "Nosy aren't we? For you this might be an innocent question but for some it could be a knife to their heart ... Well I guess it's unfair to think that you have bad intentions.
Dasha Knox died age 8.
Ranya Knox died age 4.
Together with my Parents & almost me.
Anika Johanson, the woman that got me back into life after that, more than once, my closest friend, my familiar, my "older twin" sister in heart and mind, M.I.A. for several month now, most of the crew think she got killed. Do you want to hear the rest of my other dead family members?
Excuse me, the atmosphere went out the airlock for me..."
She stood up and left.

Arkham:"Well lucky you that I haven't any, but if you excuse me, I think my captain needs me."

Do you enjoy the process of worldbuilding?

Enjoying isn't the right word, most of the times I love it but as with characters it often just pops up I my head & doesn't go away anymore. Instead it starts a life of its own, this is how Cube world started out, Nacht des Mahr, Star Ryde, my DND characters, my Cyberpunk Characters, etc a simple spark is enough to turn into a wildfire of ideas & inspiration can come from everything. Listening to music & seeing a tribal design somewhere suddenly I think of a person dancing tribal designs into reality. Stupid word puns created a Shaman inspired by South American folklore & music. The Necrodancer, a world without Iron in which ropes replaced most of the metal stuff, see world a giant ey ball in space or a world on which dragons & princesses are switched. I had a magical academy story (like the unseen university) because of a drop of milk in my coffee.
