A lot of people have told me after the fact that he comes across as too young and naive for 18, but I actually patterned him after some people (no individual person) I've known over the years: smart, nerdy, socially awkward, without a lot of the "armor" that most of us build up to help us see when someone's manipulating us.

He's been influenced by everybody from Willy Wonka (the original Gene Wilder version) to the Tenth Doctor (after the fact, since I'd been writing Stone long before I discovered Doctor Who). <br /><br />Jason was inspired by an old game character of my spouse's, along with just the general "sheepdog" archetype (the guy who protects those around him).<br /><br />For Verity, I just wanted a smart, snarky girl who could keep up with Stone. :) She's evolving a lot as the series continues.Sildarathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093771376228975895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414275122692230397.post-71806251245777435612015-08-17T10:24:01.808-04:002015-08-17T10:24:01.808-04:00Thanks!

I'm more of a "fluff" writer, myself. <br /><br />In my case, I write for a pen-and-paper game (think Dungeons and Dragons: reference books, dice, and characters written on paper sheets). Other game writers do work for video games, board games, or any sort of game you can think of. The "freelancer" part means we don't work for the company that makes the game directly, but are hired to do individual jobs. We're independent contractors. Many game freelancers work for multiple companies (especially those who do it as their primary job) but since I already have a day job and primarily do my freelance stuff because I love the game I write for, I just stick with the one.<br /><br />Hope that helps clear it up!<br />--R L KingSildarathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093771376228975895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414275122692230397.post-32347562049119715262015-08-07T06:15:48.073-04:002015-08-07T06:15:48.073-04:00I love that you have cats.
