An Incomplete and Growing List of My Roleplay Characters That Have Moved into Short Story or Novel Drafts:

Lady Antinov – Matriarch Vampiress of Crimson Tears in Alternative St. Louis, Missouri. She started as a Phantom of the Opera OC. I am happy with her transition to my hometown.

Kiringa – Fallen angel, originally Medieval Fantasy. Aside from two short stories, there’s a half finished NANOWRIMO novel that needs another attempt.

Moueska Tonelicci – Bard character. Named after my childhood nickname. I trademarked the name. (No, really, look it up, my small business is Art by Moueska.)

H’rothgar – Tentacle monster. Librarian/priest. (Sorry, creepos, he’s celibate and married to his religion.) Has a NANOWRIMO attempt that needs fixing as a side character fell into a plot hole ️. There’s a prequel short story here.

The Vicomte de Sagona – Loosely based on the priest from “Quills” and Raoul from Phantom of the Opera. Vampire. Hangs out with Moueska and Kiringa. There’s a short story which features all three, which was given an honorable mention in a small short story club competition, iirc. Currently it’s hiding in my laptop folders.

Thyme – Queen or Vampire depending on the roleplay. Was in a mini novella that I recovered a very cringey draft of that also featured The Vicomte. It netted me a short story win on a forum, though.

Aphrodite – She’s exactly what you would expect from the queen of lust, love, and relationships. She is in a lost draft, and I gave up on finding it.

L’eau – Gnome, written into a short story for a good friend in his universe for his birthday.
