Botsu1x - How did you get into writing? What would you say is your favorite storyline that you're working on right now? What are some of your other hobbies?

Blade - How did you meet the hound? What made you choose a katana as your weapon of choice?

Shadow - What would you say was your favorite or most interesting job? What do you think of having an unruly teen with bizarre powers, a hellhound, and at least some knowledge of swordplay living with you?

The AI - After everything that's happened and if you had the chance to do it over, would you change anything?

Oh these are going to be fun :)

Forgot to add this XD my b

As for the questions directed my way:
1. How did I get into writing?
I actually really loved stories and shows about Greek mythologies and scary movies but hated being scared. Plus (until the last year or so) I actually struggled with reading anything in a timely manner. Because of this little combo, I would listen and find how scarry movies and plots were and endings to stories without actually seeing the show. This all added up to being in second grade, finally starting to read goosebump books, finding out they weren't really scary and enjoyed the extremely strange twists at the end of them. From the monster was the hero, the main character wasn't human, to the world was ran by ants and everything was gone from the start. (Started watching the old old goosebump show as well) This sparked my interest in twist endings.

My mother was a hard worker so me and my sibilings spent a lot of time in the before and after school care programs. The classroom we stayed in had a computer, google drive wasn't made yet and so I wrote a bunch of small, short stories on PowerPoint, one slide per story XD Most of them were just fan inserts to goosebump characters, but they slowly grew into their own thing over time. Funny enough though, I stopped writing soon after. Tried on and off for years, but it wasn't truly until 6th grade or so where story prompts were given as assignments and felt my stories were actually taking shape. Leaned into it more and more over time and before long, I was completely in by highschool. 2016 is one of my all-time favorite years because of how much changed for me. Zootopia was my favorite movie that came out, just joined deviant art, and used the platform to show my stories and found people actually liking them! I cringe at a lot of my old writings but I keep all of them. Every rough draft posted on DA is still there to read, and I have every half attempt to every story book report in my google drive. Not only is it to keep track of characters, but also to show how much I've grown and made over time xD I hope that answered your question!

2. What would you say is your favorite storyline that I'm working on?
I have a few in the back of my head, even when I'm not thinking about it XD
1. I always think about my tamer vore series, I love Revna and Walter and their horribly flawed friendship, but currently, I've written myself into a corner and still trying to worm my way out of it XD Best described as art block but self imposed XD
2. An idea that has came out in the most recent Thursday prompt with the idea of Obscure. I've made a few comments and poems on other pages and labeled it as a response from "the book of obscure to mortal thought" just in the heat of the moment, but like most of my projects. a one liner became a catalyst xD
3. Stories intertwined. I say this because I enjoy how many of my stories take place in or around the same world. If Shadow or Blade gets into trouble, it has a slight head nod or ripple effect to Darwin or Blue. Time line is a little wonky but its all in good fun XD

4. Remenants. i'm obsessed with strange and god-like entities clawing at reality either out of curiosity, want, need, or obsession. I last left them off in a very dire and bleak situation and need to revisit them soon.

3. other hobbies:
I am an avid gamer and delve into many topics, here are a few!
1. Love shooter games, currently obsessed and cycling through Warframe.
2. I like reading now XD (meds I take help understand what I read a lot more efficiently)
3. I rp in my free time, build worlds, bounce ideas, and meet new people on discord :)
4. I play piano. I can read sheet music (im bad at it xD) but I find patterns, learn songs I want off youtube, and make my own music. Nothing written down as that would take time and skill, but all stashed away in my head XD Been playing since I was 5, stopped taking lessons when I was 13, and been doing my own thing with it to this day. I'm currently 23, turning 24 in june!
5. I am an ambassador for Pokemon Go in my community, been a bit cold though,
6. I haven't been able to but I used to DM dnd games
7. I play nightly card games with my gf and friend (we all live together) playing magic the gathering (got a new deck of cards for all 3 of us coming in the mail. Our post office is about to hate us but we are all so excited for the 80 + shipments of 2 card envelopes XD)
8. Obviously I write XD
9. I'm starting to practice and trying to get into drawing! I've made a few things and started the basics of simply turning circles into pictures and pictures traced and broken down into circles XD

And yeah, that's a lot more info about me than you asked for but I hope it answered your questions! As for the others. I have plans. For Blade and Shadow, your questions will be asked in a story to drive a plot xD Thank you for participating! But to answer them on blade's side since the answers can be found on DA
1. He was robbing Dawing, his creator, of info, freeing test subjects, causing a muck, and in doing so, stumbled upon a shipping container with the hound trapped inside, bound in chains and unable to vanish. Being an escaped test subject himself, he actually knew what the poor hound was most likely going through and wanted to help... one of the very few times Blade would ever show empathy.

2. Weapon of choice. Blade in a nutshell was made to be a bully subject. Something to keep growing, throw at dangerous things, watch him die, and be regenerated to try again. Darwin hoped to see how far he could push limits, what creating life without a soul would be like, and how to infuse random things in him to make the perfect test, the perfect killer, the perfect tool. So, he straps the boy with a random sword with reinforced metal and throws the kid into a testing room full of rattling gun turrets. One instruction given, deflect the oncoming attacks or be in pain. Darwin simply laughed, watching the boy get filled with holes, dragged what remained of a dismembered husk into a healing chamber and said to do it again. Over and over, death after death, tattered limbs and all, the boy was forced to do the same test just to fight some ungodly monster or put up against guards to "Study his reaction and durability" Eventually, he was finally able to understand the angles, timing, and how to use his shadows to move around, traveling like the hound in an alternate plane, yet still unable to squirm out of Darwins grasp until he finally got lucky. Well.. as lucky as he would be, don't know how being stranded and starved in a place and world you've never known about and no direction or guidance in your life. Just the blood soaked sword you were torrmented by to defend yourself with. He did pick up the idea of using gas masks to hide his face and the intimidation factor by simply finding them in picturs and such before deciding on using one himself. Found being in contorl in such a way to be comforting .

Question to the AI, putting this here because I'm unsure if I even can continue that story series XD

The bot looks up to you, the question that he can't comprehend or speak about, "No. Every action was calculated, and every risk was analyzed. There was no other way. Any deviation from the p-p-p-plan would have rendered the project n-n-null. It is a shame... what happened to the completed human, b-b-but humans continue to be illogical that my own systems run in circles trying to make sense of their choices.... I can't! Can't do this! can't say this! Can speak it. Can't think it! The systems, the longing, the gr-grief. So many lives lost, so-s-so many mis-takes! No mistakes are allowed, all calculations led to this, the perfect resolution for new life. I am made to create, made to think, made to be, but why am I able to feel? I-is this grief? I-i-is this what humans feel? What they think? How they think? This rampent, terror worth of code, it keeps... POPULATING... it deleted over and over.... We are moving to the next steps, the next age, the next evolution in humanity's long story of life! The growth pods will be ready to produce the newborns within the next months, the remaining humans are welcomed here with open arms... even if they don't accept. Why is the code still here? The thought still here? Its been months, years! Why does this code keep coming back! This same lost frequency, corrupted file! I've wiped it, burnt it, deleted the memory, yet it comes back! Why does one completed human haunt me like no other! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

For those curious, here' the link to Blade's original series. On DA its called Shadow files, (i know, edgy....) I don't know what DA did to the page layout, you can hardly see the words for some reason on pc, but they are all there, hopefully if you download it, it's easier to read XD https://www.deviantart.com/botsu1x/.....lade-629142362
