Meet Sage!

It's been around a month since my last post. Shame on me! I kept meaning to write up a blog post, but I've been too busy writing short stories. So anyways, in the book that I am working on now, I have introduced a new character. Sage!  In my head, Sage is a pretty cute little kid, although he's very logical, and if anything is the law, it's right, even if it's wrong. He is a slave to the Star-Dweller, which  are basically the aliens in Panin's dimension. So I was thinking about doing a little interview with him, but first, here's a quick character description!

Name: Sage
Gender: Male
Age: Six and a half
Eye color: Grey
Hair  color: Dark Brown

INTERVIEW:
Me: Hey, Sage! Thanks for agreeing to talk with me today!
Sage: It's not exactly like I had a choice. You are my author after all.
Me: Yes, but I appreciate your willingness to talk with me anyways.
Sage: Even if I was not willing, you would still be able to force me to talk. I am your character and I have to do whatever you want me to do. I am nothing but a puppet to you.
Me: Okay, Sage. I know that you are my book character, my readers have been made aware of the fact that you are my book character, and you know this as well. Can we move on?
Sage: Of course we can, if you want that is. Because I cannot truly do anything by myself as you are controlling me.
Me: Sometimes my characters surprise me and do things I wasn't planning on. How about we make those one of those times, and you just move past our whole author-character relationship, huh?
Sage: If that is what you are going to make me do, then why not?
Me: Well… I guess this isn't going to be one of those times. Sage why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself.
Sage: I could do that, but because you created me, and know far more about me than even I know myself, why don't you do it?
Me: Because it'll be different if it's coming from you.
Sage: Ah, alright, but only because this is what you are making me do. I am rather intelligent for my age, and I believe I could be considered a child protégée. I work as a slave, and my main job is to reproduce technology for the Star-Dwellers. I enjoy working with technology, and I also enjoy learning almost anything I can.
Me: Okay, do you have any friends of family.
Sage: Like I said, you should know all of this, but to answer your question, no. I don't have any friends, as I believe they are a waste of time. Not to mention most slaves don't last very long. And on top of that, I am probably not allow to have friends. And as for family… I've been with the Star-Dwellers since I was two years old. And I am fairly sure both my parents are dead.
Me: Well I'm sorry to hear that.
Sage: No you aren't. You are the one who gets to decide whether they live or died, or did you forget that?
Me: … I can't really forget it if you keep reminding me every time you open your mouth.
Sage: Then it's your fault.
Me: My fault?!? How is it my fault you refuse to move past all that?
Sage: I am your character. Why don't you tell me?
Me: Well, look at the time. I think it's time to go now. Normally I would thank you for your time, but I know, you had no choice.
END OF INTERVIEW
Trust me when I say, Sage is so much cuter when he's not being so logical… Or at least I hope so. Eh, I guess I better keep working with Sage about that. Oh, maybe Bryin can help me. I mean, he's pretty illogical! Hm, I think I'm gonna go give that a try. Bye!

Tag!

I was tagged by Leilani Sunblade, at Dreams and Dragons!

1. If the main villain of your favorite book/movie/TV series showed up on your front doorstep, what would you do? (Explain who it is first...)

Okay, so this one is a hard one as if I like anything, it becomes my favorite. That mean I have a lot of favorites. And I'm also terrible at choosing things... Ahh, I'll just pick... Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Really Fire Lord Ozai is the 'main' villain throughout the series, but I think I'm gonna go with Azula anyways... So, if Azula showed up at my door, I would be extremely freaked out. The word I would use to describe her would be delusional, and not the good, crazy in a fun sort of way delusional. So, if I answered the door to find Azula standing there, I would probably figure out what she wants, while being extremely careful.

2. Now supposing the heroes opposite this villain showed up just after your exchange. What would you do then? 

Team Avatar?!? I would probably be so stunned I wouldn't really know what to say! Just to have Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, and Suki (depending on the part of the series you come in on...) show up would be possibly one of the best things to happen to me! So truthfully I have no idea how I would react, but I would hope that I would be able to remain calm, cool, and collected, and be able to help them in any way I could.

3. So... moving on, the heroes defeat the villain (with some help from you, of course- whatever it may be. ;) But the next day, you're just walking along, minding your own business, when you suddenly come across the same villain... who is now lying in the dust severely wounded and unconscious. What do you do? 

What to do, what to do... I'm thinking that I would help her out, being fairly cautious and skeptically of her of course. I would probably my best to help her out, against my better judgement. But most likely I would be pretty scared while doing it.

4. Now her minions show up and kidnap both you and her and take you to their universe (or version of your universe, whatever it happens to be.) Your reaction? 

... Again, I would probably really freaked out, but excited at the same time. I would probably see if I could find some way to escape, and be continually wishing I was a bender as that would make this situation so much easier.


5. Your fantastic heroes have arrived to rescue you- but now you're faced with a choice. The villain, out of gratitude for your earlier help, (assuming you actually did help him when he was wounded) has offered you a chance to travel back to your own universe. However, the heroes warn you not to trust him. The only other way for you to get back home is to travel with the heroes on a long and dangerous journey... and there's no guarantee that you'll survive.
What. Do. You. Do. 


I would definitely travel with Team Avatar. One, I would never in a million years pass up the chance to travel with them. And two, I wouldn't ever trust Azula, not unless I see some serious proof that she wasn't evil any more.

And now to do some tagging of my own... In an attempt to not be totally lame and not tag anyone, I will actually tag someone this time. I tag...

I think that's all I'm gonna tag, but it's pretty good since I don't think I've really tagged anybody else before... But this was definitely a fun tag!
