Major changes to my sona, Coven
6 years ago
For quite a while without announcing anything, I've been wondering what to do with my own sona. I realized that he makes a horrible character. He's supposed to be a representation of my own nature as a person and beyond that. To put him in the role of a character, especially as a protagonist in most of them, never actually felt right. I've just been in denial.
So I decided to change him vastly. He's no longer a lab experiment from a long lost past. He's now an eldritch entity who got stranded in existence at one point. He gradually learned about the universe and found a way to travel through it effortlessly. Now he's an entity akin to the G-Man and Gaunter O'Dim. A mysterious being who has been told in many legends across countless worlds, in all sorts of time periods. He's been everywhere, but nobody knows what he is or what his intentions are. He prefers to observe and gives insight, being a narrator to my stories. But he can still be interacted with by characters. Sometimes he'd intervene in people's affairs. When he does, there doesn't seem to be a set pattern or purpose.
Coven will no longer be the protagonist to any of my tales, except for one-off scenarios that he could take part in out of curiosity. This means that my lore now has a lot of holes, but they can be filled by existing characters. And I feel that that's a better path, actually.
Chynstrixx and Constance are still acquainted with Coven, but they're now the main characters of their story arch instead of being Coven's companions. Coven still accompanies them for the most part, but remains unseen.
The Tuatha de Danaan story arch could instead be lead by Deirdre.
The new chapter story arch could have Taketzu or Scarecrow as the main character, and the Brood could still be lead by Chynstrixx and Constance.
