Hey guys, Author here. 

I know Author Note's are boring sometimes and if you want to skip, I won't mind, but I thought I'd share some of my thought processing with ya'll and maybe a little about me. 

First off, I think I said it somewhere else, but when it comes to creating and describing a character, drawing them out helps a bunch. However, I'm not the best artist.... as much as I hate to admit it, I need a lot more practice with drawing. However, in order to escape this, I use different tools. First off I love fantasynamegenerators.com/  and rollforfantasy.com/tools/weapon-creator.php   

fantasynamegenerators.com is really cool when I'm coming up with some cool sounding names. They have different sections depending on the fantasy species. However when I want a more 'human' sounding name I use babycenter.com/baby-names    If I want a particular ethnic name or a particular meaning, this website gives me that option. 

rollforfantasy.com is really good for designing weapons, building, and even armor. It's pretty cool! 

When I am making characters I like to either draw them (which don't come out as good as I'd like lol) or I use dress-up games. Wait, you use dress-up games? What are you a 7-year-old girl? (I'm not btw, I'm actually going to college...although I am indeed female.... hmm) But anyway, a website called dolldivine.com has a really neat mermaid game that is really in depth and helps to give me a better idea of what my characters look like. They also have a good dragon maker and other games for other styles of characters. So yes I do "play" them, but it's for a reason. 

Also, as I said in Chapter 36: Shadow Walker, I have many other stories in the works. These include Shadow Walker  which will be about the assassin Xion Lark that we met earlier, The Royal Prophecy  which will follow the High Royal Family of Cecidia and their adventures, and lastly The Gods of Cecidia. As you can imagine the last one is about the Cecidian dragon gods(which includes Gareth's and Levi's mother, Vari) and how they became gods. 

Now that I've explained that here are come of the character pictures that I got from dolldivine.com  that help when I write. Yay!! (and before you ask, yes the bodies are female for most of them, only because I like the settings for the females better than the males....) Now to explain a thing, these are like a rough draft, an idea or starting point the final character's look might be a bit different. Ex. Talon's picture doesn't show his perry eyes, he also has a female body, ignore that. He's a big buff guy like Gladio from Final Fantasy XV....
