Pigments pt 1

Hey everyone! I'm so thrilled to share more about Flame Seraphim, the heart of my current story project. As the secondborn prince of Pyrosia, his journey isn't just about royal duties; it's about a deep personal quest to make a name for himself beyond his lineage. I’ve always found characters with internal struggles fascinating, and Flame's memory issues add such a compelling layer to his personality. Imagine trying to forge a better future for the kingdoms of Chroma, yet sometimes battling your own past! His impulsiveness is a trait I really enjoy writing, as it often leads to unexpected twists, but it's always rooted in his genuine desire to do good. He truly believes in making the world a better place, even if he doesn't always consider the full risks of changing an entire world. Crafting the world around Flame has been just as exciting. Take Caspian Matelot, the sailor from Naiadan, who finds a new purpose joining Flame's mission. Their dynamic is something I'm particularly fond of exploring—the quiet strength of Caspian balancing Flame's fiery nature. Then there's Blossom Vernali, the baker from Gardenia, who never expected to be an adventurer but brings a grounded, compassionate energy to the team. And Iris Cumulo, the ex-princess from Cirrus, who shares a mysterious past with Flame. Each character, from Pluto Hanzoku, the initially reluctant assassin, to Jahan Sahandro, the pragmatic blacksmith, adds a unique perspective to Flame's grand plan. I'm especially excited for you to see how Flame navigates his relationships and his weighty mission. His vision to unite the kingdoms is ambitious, and it’s these interactions with his diverse companions—like the strong-willed Nival Baikal protecting the Glacial Isles, or the clever Rai Stratus from the Fulgur mountains—that truly shape him. He’s not just a prince; he’s a leader learning to trust and grow, often challenging his own beliefs. What do you think is the biggest challenge he’ll face? I'd love to hear your theories on how this 'prince of the seraphim' will ultimately achieve his goals!
