NOVEMBER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGE - MysteriouslyMaple - 11-01-2018
INTRO/RULES
Hello and welcome to Tanglewood's first ever Character Development Challenge! This month's challenge is, of course, in November and ends on December 1st. This challenge is meant to be fun and a way to develop your character! There are two prompts for each day, however you only have to choose one (1) - one is a single-word prompt, while the other is a sentence. You can explore these prompts any way you want and can be as vague or specific as you want!
The minimum word count is 300 words, but of course your prompts can exceed this. However, if you do two prompts in the same post, the word count is 600. So if you combine Day 1 + 2, you would have to do 600 words instead of 300.
You can set up your CDC any way you'd like, whether it be separate threads and put on a tracker, or completely on an OOC tracker. You can link them here any time you want, or things should be added automatically by the end of the week. Once I've seen that you've completed each prompt, I'll add it to the tally.

Prompts:
Day 1: Happiness + is y/c a night owl or an early bird? do they get enough sleep or do they want to sleep more?
Day 2: Love + what does y/c's home look like? are they tidy or messy? what kind of residence is it, and why did they choose to make or use it?
Day 3: Fire + what does y/c think about the stars? do they have a special connection to them or do they find them boring and uninteresting?
Day 4: Belief + what motivates y/c? is it internal or external? how different would they be if that motivation changed?
Day 5: Forgiveness + what does y/c think about promises? do they make promises often and try to uphold them, or do they break them?
Day 6: Regret + where does y/c go in their dreams? is it somewhere familiar or alien? who do they see? what do they see?
Day 7: Discovery + does y/c have powers? if so, do they use them often? how do they feel about them? if not, how do they feel about powers and the way this world seems to treat them as if they're normal?
Day 8: Leadership + how does y/c's original home compare to their current one? if they were born/raised in their current group, have they every thought about moving out or taking a vacation?
Day 9: Fame + what would happen after y/c achieved their goals or fulfilled their motivations? what is their endgame? do they ever think of what life would be like in that situation?
Day 10: Honesty + what would y/c's ideal mate or companion be like, if they have one? why would they be that way - where do those traits come from?
Day 11: Stress + is there anyone y/c looks up to in life? if so, how did they meet them, and what kind of influence have they had on y/c? if not, do they wish they had a role model? what would that role model be like?
Day 12: Family + what sort of otherwise unmentioned quirks does y/c have? where did they come from? do they consider those quirks to be a burden, or do they enjoy them at face value? do they try to hide those quirks from others, or do they not mind being seen?
Day 13: Loneliness + does y/c linger on the good, or do they linger on the bad in a given situation? how do they view those who would choose the opposite answer?
Day 14: Comfort + is y/c's species and/or breed of any importance to them? do they think others judge them for who and what they are?
Day 15: Protect + how does y/c think they will die, and why? do they ever think about it? would they rather pass away before or after their loved ones, and why? if they are immortal, do they ever wish they could die, or envy those who can?
Day 16: Grief + what does y/c think of lying? how often do they do it? do they go easier on themselves when they lie compared to when others do?
Day 17: Solitude + can y/c play any instruments or sing? if so, what styles of music do they play? why do they play them? if not, do they wish they could? what styles of music or instruments would they play, and how skilled would they be?
Day 18: Ideal + how well does y/c handle near-death experiences and situations, whether they're real or not? are they calm? tense? would they readily sacrifice others to get themselves out of said situations?
Day 19: Pride + is there anything y/c would protect with their life? is it something physical or an abstract concept? what would it take to make them give it up? is it actually important to them, or do they just not want to lose it somehow?
Day 20: Art + does y/c have a family? if so, what do they think of them, and what kinds of relationships do they have with them? if not, do they wish they had one? what do they think of others who do have them?
Day 21: Friendship + does y/c belong to any kind of faith, and if so, is it completely personal or is it within a group? what kind of faith is it, and why do they believe in it? if they do not have any kind of faith, what do they think of those who do? do they ever wish they had something to believe in, or do they put those feelings into something else?
Day 22: Nature + what happens when y/c experiences the end of something, good or bad? are they easily able to accept that everything will end eventually? does it affect their outlook on life as a whole?
Day 23: Serenity + how does y/c compare themselves to others, and what aspects of others do they focus on? why? do they acknowledge those aspects within themselves, or is it uncomfortable for them to do so?
Day 24: Rule + how important is the concept of uniqueness to y/c? do they want to be unique, or would they rather be completely unremarkable? do they realize the drawbacks to their answer, and if so, how do they rationalize choosing that answer anyway? what do they think of those who would choose the other answer?
Day 25: Price + what would reality be like if y/c considered it to be 'perfect'? how would society be different? how would their life be different? how would the world itself be different?
Day 26: Schema + how competent would y/c be in a solitary survival situation? ignoring any battle abilities, would they be able to survive on their own? how long would they be able to last? how would their psychological state be affected?
Day 27: Antagonist + what does y/c do for fun in life? do they live in the moment, or focus on the bigger picture? do they have fun at the expense of others? does their definition of 'fun' differ from the norm? if so, how do they react to this personality difference?
Day 28: Comfort + is there a single event or string of events during y/c's life that changed them forever? what would they be like if that event never happened? how different would their life be? would it be better or worse than how it is already, or would it be a mixture?
Day 29: Type + what would y/c's ideal career/position be, and why? would it be similar or dissimilar to the roles taken by members of their group?
Day 30: End + how does y/c think others perceive them? what does y/c believe others value or dislike them for? does the way they believe they are perceived affect how they act in general? if y/c does not care about what others think of them, what consequences would arise from such apathy?
