My current options I’m considering for Silas this year are broken broomshaft, evasive maneuvers, fearless, foulplay, the martial artist, or the muggle condition

That's completely valid, I think I just got lucky that the specific abilities I want for Fawkes just so happen to be amazing with duelling and fits her narratively as well.

Foulplay sound like Silas lmao

Hehe yeah it does but it doesn’t have any use in duelling
I already applied for terrible presence a few days ago for his year 1 ability which already reflects how awful he is, too, sooo~

Well if you are considering for both sports, out of the list EM would be best since it can be used in both

I’m so bad at making decisions lmao I get too attached to multiple options or get stuck in indecision and it always feels like so much more of a big deal than it actually is
For my first gen character Ruby I haven’t got her an ability since fifth year… she’s adult II now too many good options so I just simply haven’t

You know what that's SO relatable Nance only got her ability so quick because i saw it and it just felt so right that I didn't even read the ones below. (because if I did I'd be stuck not making a choice for weeks ). For one of my first creative writing projects years back it took me over 6 months to settle on a name for my main freaking character

Finally someone who is like me to the same degree I didn’t fully decide on the names for Silas or Valeriy until the day I signed up for their accounts here, despite the fact that both of them were in the works for a year or two before that. The entire time I just couldn’t settle on their names kept going back and forth with different options

That’s the case for Fearless too though, which is the one I was leaning towards more a few days ago (and then I started questioning myself/wanted to be more thorough in making sure I wasn’t forgetting about a different ability I really wanted)

I've had a project on the go for a good...5 years. I decided the characters name about 2 weeks ago I kept changing it and changing it and changing it. I chose Nancy pretty quick, again it just felt right. Pretty sure 99.9999% of my writing decisions are just based off vibe and feeling

Same lol know at least you are not alone in that…

my friends put me on editing duty today and i do not like having to cut the audio so many times

Tbh fearless would do well currently with how many people are getting TP after all I did briefly consider it for Fawkes but considering her growing list of fears I don't think it would work So perf 2 it is for her :>

I'm actually loving writing Nance though. It's been ages since I've written someone quite as young as her

lol, when i made isla, i was not in my right mnd, but there is a lot of flexible plot so i still want to write her and see where she leads to

I didn't really have a problem creating Fawkes solely because I have technically been rping her since her original creation almost 5-6 years ago (she started as my online persona).

Raphael was really easy to pick a name, I kinda just went through a bunch and found something that sounded good to me and would stick in my head

Tbh I find picking out names to be easy. The hard part for me is giving them distinct personalities afterwards

Also because TP affects allies as well and Silas will likely encounter more
It also fits him well and I have flavour for it that I’d enjoy writing
Hmmmm every time I think I decide though my brain goes “but what about [this other one]! and you only get a limited number of abilities so be careful”
