@wyked-ao3 and OPEN TAG

OC Musical Tag!

Saw this open tag and wanted to give it a try! Here we go!

Rules: Share 1-3 songs you feel best embody a character from your WIP/s, either in general or at this moment in the plot.

I'll go with Artemis Zreeth from Supernova Initiative, Renn Atrius from Song of Thorns, and Deryc from The Forgotten Ones!

ARTEMIS ZREETH

Like A Villain - Bad Omens

Look into my face, then look again We are not the same, we're different To tell your tales and fables, you couldn't wait You need a new clean slate without the dents A place to put your pain, your consequence When you look into the mirror, are you even there? I don't wanna know all your secrets 'cause I'll tell It's hard enough being alone with myself I don't know how long I'll be holding on I know you tried your hardest, I know that you meant well But you pushed me to the edge and I slipped, and then I fell I don't know how long I'll be holding on

2. Trials - STARSET

Hear me from the bottom Forged in regret, I'm the silversmith Doomsday, you had it coming Marching the streets with an iron fist Obey no more in silence The steel in our hearts will be monuments Today, they'll hear the violence We'll rise from the dark like Lazarus These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are We're motivated by the scars that we're made of These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are We take our places in the dark And turn our hearts to the stars The ending won't be forgotten It's written in the stars and the hieroglyphs Sending the lionhearted The stones break bones, but we're venomous

3. Animal In Me - Solence

When I look in the mirror, I know what I see The animal in me One with the demon, one with the beast The animal in me (monster!) I'm gonna show them what I have become I'm gonna burn, burn, burn Burn them all to the ground, all to the ground For all the times they didn't believe in me (monster!) For all the times they cut me and made me bleed (monster!) For all the times they said I wasn't good enough They'll see I've got a monster, monster within

RENN ATRIUS

Children Of The Night - Johnathan Young

Let them hear us sing Lost and broken souls Trusted priest and king All of the lies they told They can hear our cries Leave us in the cold While the children die Watch them count their gold So if heaven is filled with the likes of them We dine in hell instead We are the young undead Born in the grave of humankind Breathe, fill your lungs with dread We have already died For we are the children of night Poison in the air Can't afford the cure Children unprepared To die in father's war

2. Over The Hills And Far Away - Hurdy Gurdy (cover version)

They came for him one winter's night Arrested, he was bound They said there'd been a robbery His pistol had been found They marched him to the station house He waited for the dawn And as they led him to the dock He knew that he'd been wronged "You stand accused of robbery" He heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom

3. Higher Ground - Rasmussen

Ships in the making Bound for a distant shore World for the taking Men gone forever more Boarding and setting sail Yet, victory won't prevail Freeze the arrow in the air Make your mark and leave it hanging there Be the first to turn around Take the leap to land on higher ground

DERYC

Become The Beast - Karliene

I've always been a hunter Nothing on my tail But there was something in you I knew, could make that change To capture a predator You can't remain the prey You have to become An equal In every way So look in the mirror And tell me, who do you see? Is it still you? Or is it me? Become the beast We don't have to hide Do I terrify you Or do you feel alive?

2. Burn the Witch - Shawn James

The flames lick at my feet Their hearts full of hate What they don't understand, they condemn What they can't comprehend must meet its end But I won't scream, won't give them that satisfaction I won't confess my false interaction As I breathe deep and prepare for my passing I hear them chant: "Burn the witch!" I stand accused of "being in league with satan" No proof for their false accusation Tied to the stake, no hope of escape I stand alone and embrace my fiery fate

3. Hell To Your Doorstep - Count of Monte Cristo The Musical

The world is a place where the villains wear a smile on their face While they take what you can never replace Stolen moments gone forever Well, tables can turn as my enemies will soon enough learn I will strike a match and then watch them burn On the pyre of obsession You run 'till you drop, chasing on advantage You'll pay any price if you think it's free I will carry hell to your doorstep; I will make you pay You will reap the hate you've sown on my judgment day Sleepless nights and days of damnation Soon and evermore [...] Fall down on your knees 'Till I can hear you bargaining, scheming, begging, and screaming to pay! I will carry hell to your doorstep; you will rue the day You will reap the hate you've sown no matter how hard you pray It's a place without any mercy, fashioned in cold blood

Okay so another question for your Supernova Initiative Q&A -- So I saw you mention somewhere it's happening multiple places at once or something like that. Is it multi-POV? Or what's the story structure look like there?

Hii!!! Thank you so much for the ask!

And yep! It is a multiple-POV story. While most of this story is centered around the trio of main siblings, the POV changes according to which character is more relevant in a certain scene. It also changes according to what the audience needs to know in the scene, and in order for the story to be told in multiple places.

Usually, when the team is all together, the Main POV is Jack Tithus, but if the team splits up the POV can be Deimos, Cassie, Artemis, Kye etc, or whichever character has something relevant to add to that chapter.

And the structure of this story is very much experimental! The best explanation I can give for how its going to work is: Supernova Initiative isn't going to be a novel in the traditional structure sense. It's going to be a "book series" but the structure in which the story is told is going to be more akin to that of a TV series, like The Mandalorian or The Last of Us (TV show), where the chapters work as series Episodes, and the story is divided in different acts (and seasons) that take place in specific time frames.

New Tag Game! OC's 'Most Important' Tag!

Rules: Make a list (detailed or not!) of the most important people, events/moments, places, and anything else that shaped your characters into who they are now, describing how/why.

DISCLAIMER: The "most important" here means "most impactful" - the people, places, and events that had the biggest impact on the character's life. And that impact can be both POSITIVE or NEGATIVE!

I'll go first with the protagonist of Supernova Initiative!

Jack Tithus:

Most Important People

(Positive)

Cassiopeia Tithus (younger sister): Cassie is, by far, one of the, if not The most important person in Jack's life. Not that he consciously picks favorites, but he has devoted his entire life to keeping her safe and happy after their parents were killed by the Junction because she's the only family he has left and he promised he would protect her On another note, she is also the "heart" of the group - she's always happy, seeing the best in every situation no matter how bleak - and that optimism makes living in the bleak galaxy they live in more bearable for everyone around her.

Deimos Soll (adoptive brother): Deimos has been Jack's best friend and adoptive brother ever since the day they met when they were teens. Their bond, despite all their differences and arguments in the present, is still just as strong as it used to be in the past - as much as it is a bit awkward at times due to the time they've spent together. Deimos was the only friend his age (Jack is 25, Deimos is 26, they were 15 and 16 when they met) that Jack had for a long time, which on its own was something he was glad to have - but he legitimately became family to both Jack and Cassie. For all his stubborn faults, Deimos is fiercely loyal, and he cares a lot for the people he loves, a trait he shares with Jack as well.

Florian & Lauriel Tithus (parents): Though they were only alive for a small portion of his lifetime - mostly his childhood - they did have some considerably formative influence on his morality and good-hearted nature, as they taught him to always fight against injustice and stand up for those who need help, as well as reminded him that family is the most important thing in his life. He had a very close bond with their mother, Lauriel, who was a pilot and taught him how to fly a spaceship expertly, while Cassie bonded more with their father, who was an aspiring inventor.

(Negative)

Cethea III's mob bosses: Those guys were part of the reason why Jack's teenage years and overall life in Cethea III were so dangerous. Since Jack and his siblings were pretty much destitute after their life as they knew it came crashing down because of the Junction, they - and especially him - had to get resourceful. Jack became an errand boy and messenger for some of the low-ranking crime factions of the moon (most notably the faction known as the Onyx Strikers), in exchange for a pitiful amount of units, which - as little as it was - was still better than nothing. That's also how he got the skills he would later hone and use to become the renowned intergalactic thief, but that 'talent' came with a hefty toll.

The Director: The head of the Junctions Sciences and Bioengineering department and overall a very respected and influential politician, businessman, and public figure, the Director isn't just Jack's archnemesis throughout this story - he's also, directly, Jack's torturer, as - while the crew was begrudgingly working for the Junction- he subjected the young thief to many unethical scientific experiments. This is a source of considerable torment, distress, and overall inner conflict for Jack, as he not only has to find a way to free himself and his crew and fight against the Junction but also has to grapple with the fear that the experiments may be already changing him somehow.

Most Important Places (to his story)(:

The Junction

Cethea III

The Khosmonian Galaxies

Most Important Moments/Events:

The death of his parents, killed by the Junction after joining a local rebel effort against it;

Growing up on the crime-ridden streets of Cethea III with his siblings, and getting involved in the moon's criminal underworld;

Developing a considerable reputation and becoming an influential intergalactic thief in his early 20s;

The argument with Deimos, after which the duo (Jack & Cassie) and Deimos parted ways due to different opinions on the recently started civil war;

Being captured by the Junction along with his crew (Inciting Incident of the series!), which led him to accept a shady deal with the Director (make one final heist, this time for the Junction, not against it, in exchange for their lives);

Being forced to become one of the Director's test subjects after the man threatened to do the same to Cassie;

Freeing himself and his crew from the Junction and joining a rebel effort to stop the civil war from escalating and ending the corruption of both the Junction and the Khosmonian sides.

Anything Else That's Important:

His Crew/Friends: Jack is, first and foremost, a natural leader and a protector, who cares deeply for the people he trusts and loves. His team/crew, which is composed of his closest friends, is like a family to him - and though that friendship can at times be chaotic and strained, they're still always going to be there for each other no matter what. And that friendship is also a factor for character growth to pretty much every member of the main cast as well, including him.

Freedom: Jack values freedom in life almost more than anything - it's a close second in his list of priorities for sure - and has a very fiery personality. He despises being told what to do by people who want to control him or by those who think they're better than him or than others, and this causes him to have a very relentlessly rebellious spirit.
