Been tagged by @agirlandherquill for my first OC Question Tag! Thanks for keeping my brain juice flowing.
It's nice to get a brief interview with my characters every once in a while. We'll be talking to Basile(Basil) and Halcyon(Hal) this time while Kato is off being busy.
1. Who is your greatest enemy?
Hal: Alas, hell hath no fury like a certain unyielding passage. Bestowed upon thee who exist in this realm, change is imminent. Faced with such power, thou must-
Basil: Alright, back to sleep you go flower bud. What he means to say, is that the writer's plans for an antagonist isn't really a who, more of a concept like Time.
2. What would you do if you lost everything?
Basil: I've been through this before, but the circumstances forced both our actions at the time. Besides, I knew they weren't gone forever. Hal was in a comatose state and Kato needed to regain their memories anyway, but I must admit, it took a while to develop some healthier coping mechanisms. Though if I were to lose it all again, I might just take a dip in the River Lethe just to forget. I know I wasn't the only one who suffered loss, but you weren't really all that conscious after all that were you, droplet?
Hal: Nope, but you were the only one left to deal with the aftermath while we tapped out. For me, everything just felt mushy and foggy. Those memories feel so far away now...
3. Why should the world fear you?
Hal: We're old as dirt. Fear the elderly.
Basil: Nothing is a secret to me. NOTHING.
That's it for my questions, time for some new questions to take the stage!
1. What are some significant dates and events for you? Holidays, celebrations, world history, etc.
2. What and who are you afraid of losing the most and why?
3. When did you experience your strongest emotion?
Won't be tagging anyone this time, so whoever wants to answer these are welcome to give it a go.

So...I've been tagged by @agirlandherquill who was tagged by @katwritesshit to participate in a tag game from @halfbakedspuds, so here goes!
Rules: Answer as many (or as few) of the questions about your WIP as you can.
1. What was the first part of your WIP that you created?
The Prologue, featuring Kato(Death, Psychopomp, Thanatos), Halcyon(Sleep, Hypnos) and Basile(World, Hades, Persephone) dubbed The Old World Trio because they're the only beings from the Old World who still exist in the New World. The first location I visualised was the Border, which is where souls go before being taken to the Underworld.
The Border.
2. If your story was a TV show, what would the intro song be?
[The Main Character by Will Wood] I love this song and it fits Kato's personality very well, especially during the Prologue. I can imagine Kato, Halcyon and Basile singing this together with Kato playing the Piano.

3. Who are your favourite character(s) and why?
My favourite has to be Kato, since they're the first character I ever created so I have lots of fond memories of going about developing their character. Halcyon came later as Kato's twin, and I grew to love their dynamic as siblings who then formed a found family with Basile. Halcyon would call Kato out on their bullshit and keep them in check while Basile is the reliable rock of the group.

4. What other pieces of media could share a fan base with your WIP?
Some Rise of the TMNT fans may notice some similarities between Leo and Donnie's dynamic (the disaster twins) and Kato with Halcyon. I did base some of their personalities on the duo, Kato being Leo and Halcyon being Donnie, so that's not a surprise. There's also a found family dynamic (and FANTASY :D), so I think fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Ninjago could like the Prologue too!
5. What has been your biggest struggle while writing your WIP?
Coming up with names! I really struggled with naming everyone, especially Kato because I wanted the best for them and also because Thanatos and Death in general is hard to work with. I still do not have a name for my story, though I'm working on it. Plot and writing is also hard, so is visualising. (In summary, everything.)

6. Are there any animals in your story?
Plenty! I have not touched the main world yet, but I do know the New World is teeming with life. The Underworld and the Border on the other hand, have its very own bioluminescent inhabitants like the Glow Fishes, the massive Blue Dragon and the Soul Butterflies. Now that I think about it, the Underworld really resembles the spirit world from Avatar.
Some animal concepts.
7. How do your characters get around?
Probably on foot, though I have though about using their powers, like shadow travel from Nico di Angelo. Some of them have physical wings like Volaria and Felix (bird people), while others like Kato and Halcyon in the Prologue have more spiritual ones. Maybe they have animal companions, summons or just teleport through plantlife (Basile).

8. What part of your WIP are you working on right now?
I'm mostly working on the Prologue, with small bits of the First Interlude and the Main Story. I haven't started on the Epilogue yet, only the things I want to see happen like Halcyon and Basile going on a journey together.
9. What aspects of your WIP do you think will draw people in?
Realistically speaking, art tends to get the most attention on Tumblr. In order to do that I'll need to work harder on drawing to show my story through visuals, and not just words. I'll have to doodle my way into people's hearts!
A place in the Old World.
Whew, that was a long one. I don't really know many people who have WIP stories since I'm pretty new to Tumblr, so I hope they don't mind me tagging them: @hansenesque @drawnecromancy @the-arcade-doctor @devgel7889
Anyone who wants to play this game can join in on the fun too!
