Little General Breakthrough Q/A [No Spoilers]
11 years ago
No one has really asked me much considering how young the comic is but decided to make this anyway, since I'm kinda bored and just woke up and felt like writing this down. Sooo yeah! Mostly are just random questions people may wonder.
How many chapters will there be?
I plan for 3 but I'm not sure the 3rd one. My plans kind of set a track forward for about 20 strips and then it falters out and I have to sit back and talk with my co-author about what to continue with to make the story flow well. ( Co-author doesn't have an FA but their dA is 'Thyzara')
How long will each chapter be?
Chapter 1 will be around 60-100 pages at the rate that I'm telling the story but it may be more or less, most likely the former. I really probably should have called this chapter "Betrayal" and then the next chapter "Discoveries" as that'd probably make Chapter 1 not a hulking beast without end. Chapter 2, depending on what it is, will probably be of similar length but possibly shorter. Chapter 3, I have no idea.
What are Longwings and Sparkclaws?
Longwings are the higher-up race of the somewhat thriving dragon species that lives entirely underground since the time of the dinosaurs. They generally hold better roles in society and make up the government/royal line. Sparkclaws are the lower, working class and tend to be looked down upon but are generally respected by the Longwings as without them, the entire system for how the dragons live would probably collapse. This respect doesn't prevent interracial anger and quarrels, which happen quite often, and friendships that span the two races are often seen as disgraceful by the Longwings and as an attempt to get higher up in society by the Sparkclaws. Mateships are forbidden by the laws of society, as they tend to produce the mixed-breed Sparkwings, who I will not explain until a later date.
Why do the dragons not react to the brutality shown in the pages 17-20?
Page 20 is unposted as of 4/24/14 but people can kinda guess what I'm referring to.
I leave this up to speculation as it's hard to explain without really screwing up and spoiling the storyline in small ways, but basically it's a thing they've been used to for many hundreds of years and so don't really react much. It's just business to them and nothing bad or new, no matter how heartbreaking. Tygressa reacts so upsetly to this because the last time a Sparkwing had shown up as before she was born, so she never saw this before nor was even educated about it. Ruskaer was educated but never saw.
Why are Ruskaer and Tygressa even friends?
They're an example of the 'odd ones out' in society that managed to have friendships beyond early hatchlinghood into the juvenile stage. Nobody likes it but it happens sometimes and the pair don't exactly care because they have no other friends to worry about and only have each other. Their bond is quite fragile though as shown in Page 8, and Tygressa explains some of this reasoning in her own words in Page 9.
How old are Ruskaer and Tygressa?
Ruskaer is actually older than Tygressa by a few years, but I don't have pinpoint ages for them. They're both juveniles and sexually mature (which leads to the speculations like the ones thrown out by Irkien on Page 10. So they're between the ages of 20-30, with Ruskaer probably in the 25-30 range and Tygressa in the 20-25 range.
I can't think of anything else so if you've got anything to ask, do so in the comments and I'll answer it if I can. ^^
