As it may have become obvious to some of my more dedicated followers, I frequently refer to my writing persona in various parts. This is less because I am a hyper paranoid nerd (although I am), and more to do with the help it gives me to focus on different feelings while writing. It's easy to change our method of speaking when we are talking to other people, but it can be challenging to do that while writing. Fortunately, I think I got the trick to do that.

I split my writing ego into several recognizable parts. Extreme, probably, but it does help to keep track of the emotion I'm trying to convey, be it excitement, anger, tears, or fear. I'm pretty sure tears is an emotion... probably.

Well, first off, I have my first writing part, K.T.Wizard, also known as just K.T.

K.T.Wizard was my screen name on a great many of sites before I started writing here, like on D.A. and FanFiction.net. It's also my old nickname from high school, half a decade ago. God I hate time. Any who, I was pretty freaking miserable back then, so it makes sense I would split myself into a writer that would dedicate himself to only the saddest crap out there, which I still make good on. After all, some of my best stories are apparently the saddest ones. Just check out Progress, or My Night Will Last Forever. All K.T.'s fault people.

After that, we have my next O.C., from Sonic. His/Her name's Negotium.

How do I say this... There was a time I was really into Sonic. Like majorly into Sonic. Too into Sonic. Yeah. Anywyas, I thought up of this O.C. Full name is Negotium the Lost. If you're bilingual, you'll get the irony of his/her name. And in case you're curious, I keep referring to old Nego as either a boy or girl because I never made up a gender. Really. My GF at the time wrote Nego as a girl, but others made it a guy. All I know is that he/she is the one responsible for keeping my stories on track, due dates and such. That is one sharp sword!

After that, we get into the recognizable figures. Like the manliest man. KAMINA!

If you don't know who Kamina is, you don't deserve to be on the internet. He's the manliest of men, demanding you know who the hell he really is. Kamina has the undeniable ability to lift anyone's spirit. He's the biggest reason I gave myself the courage to start writing the more ambitious stories, like One Last Game. He's also one of the few reasons why I keep writing it despite the rather poor reception or appreciation for it. But as long as he believes in me, and I believe in him, then I believe in myself!

On a more somber not, I also have an inner class of demon. Well... pirate.

Karl is a stone man from the Castle of Nations. He's also the most likeable liar and murderer I have ever seen. It is literally impossible to nail down one aspect about him that really drew me to him, but I can tell you latched onto him for his ability to throw others into the pyre if it means keeping himself happy. But honestly, I still keep him around because he knows how to lie. Well. To lie properly, you have to know a character, and no body can lie better than Karl. So in essence, no body can judge characters quite like Karl can. That's why he's such a big help for writing. When he's not threatening everything else.

But I do have a guardian angel, of sorts. An anime character I'm sure you've never heard of.

Teresa of the Faint Smile, from the under appreciated genius of Claymore, is one of the shortest lived and most badass women in any media. She is often hailed as the greatest warrior of all time, but was killed in a moment of weakness by the most powerful monster of all time. She still stands as the prime example of character development for me, changing from a cold stubborn warrior into a loving and caring mother figure. That's change people. So if I need characters to change, I ask Teresa what she would do, because mother does know best.

Other times though, I still need an excuse to prove I'm human. Like really bad days.

The Joker. You know him, so I'm not going to explain him. What I will explain, or at least emphasize on, his is unspoken obsession with different things. We all know how he wants to kill the Batman, but we don't know, or at least see as much, of his determination to isolate himself. It's why we don't see him on teams of villains (when written properly). It's because he hates everyone, all of them, and he honestly wants to kill them all. It really helps to have this kind of guy around when I'm writing those horrible scenes. His psychotic voice really helps to guide you through those painful passages, like killing Twilight with Cancer.

Next, and last, we have the last remnants of my innocence.

Aisling, from the Secret of the Kells, is a very interesting character. Not my all time favorite or loved, but defiantly a clear symbol of purity. I mean, she's dressed in white, is basically albino, is a small girl living in the forest, and is able to stop a pack of wolves with a call of her own. I often ask her for a bit of help from time to time in reminding me how someone who isn't mentally imbalanced would act, as she has a very good ability to predict people.
