Writing Meme: Days Eighteen and Nineteen.
Day Eighteen: Favorite antagonist and why!
I had to think a lot about this because my antagonists, while I enjoy writing them for the most part, I can't really say any of them are favourite characters. Maybe Asmodeus, an Archdemon, because he likes to taunt and snark at the good guys and comes out with some really biting commentary. Or Father Sander because he's a very intelligent man who is also incredibly despicable. A lot of parts of his personality I don't like at all and I put them in for shock effect. The head of the Order of Shadows is a nasty, nasty man as well, and I would say that I like writing him more than Father Sander, his brother, even though he's not quite as base-level nasty more of a nasty character with a lot of nasty plans.
Day Nineteen: Favorite minor that decided to shove himself into the spotlight and why!
Oh this is easy. Gabriel. I only ever intended him to be a minor character because I needed an Archangel for a story to work as an intermediary between other angels and God. It didn't take long for him to grow from a background character that I intended to pop up only occaisionally to be one of the loudest muses in my head. Part of the joy of writing him is his complex personality, he's quirky and fun-loving; he's quick to violence and anger; he's full of the joie de vie and he's not above destroying civilisations if he has to. He likes to laugh and enjoys life and his job and the many different facets of his character are always fun to write.
