presents another collection of prompts aimed at inspiring you to explore your characters in greater depth. Try putting them in unusual new situations, have them meet characters from one of your other universes- stretch your imagination and get some fun writing practice at the same time!

Monthly Prompt:

A Death Wish: The Grand Finale
Life has not been kind to one of your characters and they have fallen into a strange state of depression. This has caused them to act out in strange ways and put their life in dangerous situations. Your character decides to do one last perilous act in order to test the limits and finally break out of their spell of misery. Will this be just the scare to make them appreciate their life? Or will death finally grant the wish they have been waiting for? The possibilities are endless.

Responses to July’s prompts: Remorse and an apology or An apology with no remorse
'You know I'm sorry, right?'"You know I'm sorry, right?"
Its white fluff fur trailed behind it as the puppy moved quickly, chasing a crow across the sky. They weaved between obstacles of grey cotton ball fuzz as they played overhead. It wasn't long before the cute dog had dissipated to join the mounting storm as it travelled east toward the town. Rain was definitely coming that afternoon.
Kai pulled himself up into a sitting position, curling his legs underneath himself as he sat with his back to the warming sun. The tension was massaged from his muscles, his eyes slipping part way closed as the comforting warmth lulled him toward sleep. With lethargic movements, he moved to lay on his stomach in the long grass of the unkept park.
As he dozed in the afternoon light, his mind replayed the events of the  previous night like a movie projector onto a black screen. He knew that he hadn't meant for anything to happen... and it was the alcohol and energy drinks that were to blame really. Sober, he woul by ConfrontationAktaion smiled as he stretched his well muscled body, digging his toes into the lush green grass and arching his back up off the ground, enjoying the feeling of the suns rays on his skin.  Today was one of the better days he'd had in a long while, no one harassing him, no idiots to deal with, just peace.  His eye lids started to droop as the suns heat relaxed the young Prince further.  He was almost asleep when the silent afternoon was shattered by someone calling his name.
"Aktaion!"
He winced, recognizing the voice as well as the tone.
"Hellfire," Aktaion, Demon Prince of Thrace, cringed at the sound of the infuriated voice of his Wife.  Melantha was usually a very mild-mannered woman, but occasionally something sparked her temper, and Aktaion was usually the one on the receiving end.
He glanced around the courtyard, looking for any sign of his furious wife.  All he could see was the immaculate garden and the servants who tended it. by

Xavier Black - Charater BioXavier Black
『 Temptation's Childe 』
Incubus
『 At First Glance』
Xavier's appearance changes every time he moves to a new location to hunt. However, he prefers to keep his black hair, even if it's length changes from shoulder length to short and spiky. His height will range from five foot six to five foot ten, depending on the target he has set his eyes on to become his next meal. More often than not his eyes are green, though he'll let them go blue or any shade in between the two. His style of clothing also changes according to the place he that is about to become his new hunting ground so that he can more easily blend in with the student body. One thing that never changes is the silver cuff that covers the entire side of his left ear. The demonic symbols etched into the metal are what allow him to appear human and change his human appearance.

『 At First Glance』
Drake is a tall individual standing at 6'2", he has short, though long enough to run his fingers through (a nervous habit), messy charcoal black hair with eyes to match.  He has a strong jaw and a square face.  He doesn't tan very well so his skin is usually pale, and in winter it's so pale it's blue.  He mostly wears t-shirts and long-legged shorts when he's out and about, yes even in winter.  The weather doesn't bother him all that much, besides, he likes showing off his black rose tattoo that's on his right calf.  If he's working on his car or gardening though, he has a set of dark green overalls that he wears over his clothes.
『 Playful, Kind, Daredevil 』
Drake is fun loving, carefree individual, which is kind of strange considering that he spent 95% of his life in the Underworld with his parents, and his only real belonging to
