Since their ‘magical’ tattoos are a dead giveaway on who the reincarnated five are, the rest of the group later each get tattoos to confuse their enemies.

The storm outside let the street lamp in front of her window swing back and forth, lighting up her bedroom and then plunging it in darkness once again.
Frieda’s favourite outfit, is nothing she wore. She is known to always wear a necklace from her parents, but her favourite outfit is the red dress she first saw Emilia in.
For Frieda, I admire her faith in humanity, despite seeing the contrary.
For Amaria, I admire her strength and willpower. And her ambition. I’m definitely not that ambitious myself.
For Karmi, I admire his loyalty and that he loves his family so much.
For Iljas, I admire his undying optimism. That he can make everything lighter, even the darkest nights. I admire how he very openly and still also subtly loves his friends and family and does everything to help them out and keep them save.
What nicknames does your MC have and who gave them to them?

Going with Amaria for this one:
Iljas and Karmi are calling her mostly Ama, her old mentor calls her Mondkind/Moonchild. Because she is quite bossy, the rest of the group sometimes calls her boss to annoy her, but she actually likes being the boss, so she accepts it.

1. It was just one moment of abstraction. The setting sun shone bright in his eyes, making it impossible to see anything. Paired with the headphones in his ears, he was completely unaware of his surroundings. The impact came as a total surprise to him and literally swept him off his feet. For a moment he thought he saw stars, but then he realized he stared into the worried eyes of his attacker.
2. She was going fast, flying down the promenade. With the setting sun in her back and the wind in her hair, she felt alive and invincible. She weaved her way through the people with ease, humming a song she had heard on the radio earlier. Not paying attention for a second, she couldn’t stop fast enough when a man came up in front of her, obviously lost in his own world. His body broke her own fall, but she made sure to check that she hadn’t injured him too badly.
3. He was on the side of the promenade almost every day, selling ice cream to the passersby. He let his gaze drift away for a bit, blinking against the setting sun. A woman came down the boardwalk on skates, a little bit too fast maybe. ‘Thank god, she wears a helmet’, he thought to himself and then noticed the oblivious man coming down the promenade from the other side. He couldn’t warn them anymore and he flinched when he saw them collide.
Bonus: From the distance, the ice cream seller could see them both standing up, uninjured and holding each other’s gaze - with big smiles on their faces.
Frieda - Over the course of her story, she starts with wanting to explore places away from her home. But when it all comes crushing down, she wants nothing more than to get back home. After realizing that she can never go home again, she tries to built herself and her new family a new home.
The way he moved made her heart flutter. His swift kicks, his controlled punches, his twists and turns. The way he fought dirty, how he always fought like he just neededto win. He didn’t hold back with her and she liked that about him. Because she would never hold back either. You count your fallen after the battle is over - they counted every bruise and kissed it better. Both knowing that soon they would have to fight to survive and then they couldn’t hold back either.

Context: I was at the eye doctor this morning and they had these paintings of eyes literally everywhere.
There were eyes everywhere. Blue eyes, brown eyes, green eyes, big eyes and smaller eyes. Some seemed lost in the moment, some emotionless, some angry, some happy and some seemed scared. But they had one thing in common: they all seemed to follow her around.
No matter where she went, the second she turned back around, they stared down at her from every wall.
But she wasn’t scared.
There was a sense of relief, knowing that she was not alone. That there was someone watching out for her.
She picked a pair of eyes and stared right back at them. A soft smiled played around her lips and she winked.
Frieda - She hates loud noises since the explosion and while she used to like it when she didn’t have to make decisions, she is starting to really dislike it now when people make decisions for her.
Der Zug hatte bereits bessere Tage gesehen. Die Sitze waren abgewetzt, überall lag Müll herum und durch die dreckigen Fenster, die von außen mit Graffitis zu gesprüht waren, fiel nur wenig Licht. Es war Zeugnis all der Jahre, die der Zug die unterschiedlichsten Menschen von A nach B gebracht hatte. Doch hier und da ließ sich noch etwas von dem alten Glanz des Zuges erahnen und es wirkte fast so, als hätte man ihn aus einer vielversprechenden Vergangenheit gerissen und in eine düstere Zukunft verschleppt. Mit einem raschen Blick auf ihren Begleiter fragte sie sich, was wohl ihr Fahrtziel für eine Zukunft für sie bringen würde.

The train had seen better days. The seats were torn up, everywhere was garbage, and through the dirty windows, sprayed over with graffiti, was hardly coming any light. It was a testament to all the years the train had brought many different people from A to B. Here and there you could still see a glimpse of its former glory, and it almost felt like the train was torn from a promising past and thrown into a grim future. She asked herself, with a quick glance to her companion, what kind of future would their destination bring for them?
Creating a character is hard work, but it can also be very fun. This little game is a way to help you with that. You can use a randomizer to choose a number for you. The number will determine some aspects that you can use as a basis for creating an interesting character. You can also use your birthday for this.
Part 1: Names
Choose a number for the letter that your character’s name starts; you can use the day you were born:
1. A 2. B 3. C 4. D 5. E 6. F 7. G 8. H 9. I 10. J 11. K 12. L 13. M 14. N 15. O 16. P 17. Q 18. R 19. S 20. T 21. U 22. V 23. W 24. X 25. Y 26. Z 27. Ä 28. Ö 29. Ü 30. Ø 31. Ş
Part 2: Hair colour
Choose a number for your character’s hair colour; you can use the month you were born:
1. brown 2. blonde 3. red 4. blue 5. green 6. pink 7. purple 8. white 9. grey 10. black 11. more than one colour 12. bald
3. Part: Character Traits

Write a micro story about someone saying “thank you”.
Do it for yourself or put it under this post!
She wasn’t one to say ‘thank you’.
But she wasn’t ungrateful. It was just that the words were beat out of her. A goddess, a leader, a warrior didn’t have to say thank you.
But she did.
The way she smiled just for him, when he wordlessly handed her some food. The way she bumped shoulders with any of them, after they tried to cheer her up. And they knew. Her actions didn’t only knew violence and while her mouth didn’t want to form the words she wanted to say, they heard them loud and clear.
Another theme week, this time about one of my favourite things in the world and in fiction: FRIENDSHIP!
The week from May, 9th to the 15th is going to be Friendship Week, which includes 2 new posts (Friendship Dynamics, How to write friendships), 3 friendship-themed single prompts and reblogs of my posts about friends so far.
All of the new posts for this week are already up for members on my Ko-fi.
I hope you have a wonderful week and get inspired to write some really strong friendships!
Trope of the day is… the make-out distraction. Kissing makes you basically invisible. We’re undercover? Kiss me or our cover is blown. We’re following someone? Kiss me and they won’t see us. We have to act innocent? Let’s make out till they go away.
Can lead to coming together, unfortunately doesn’t have to.
(If you become a new member or if you already are one and would like the shout-out, please let me know your handle so that I can include you here! The other shout-outs are on Instagram)
Thecurrent writing challenge is now up on my Ko-fi, it’s all about the first times in life and I hope you all have a lot of fun and get inspired by it! See you in two weeks for the next one! :)
Give yourself 15 minutes, get a random number between1 and 820 and search for that prompt (search in my tags: prompt #{number}) and then start writing.
And if you already used that prompt choose another one or write it in a completely different way.
Choose three prompts (you can use random.org) from my blog between 1 and 820 and search for it on my blog by using #prompt [no.].
Now try to think of a way to combine all of them in one story. No matter how outlandish they seem together at first, in the end this game helps you to see them in a completely different light and to get a new multi-dimensional idea for a story.
+ if you use even more prompts;
who can fit the most prompts into a drabble or a 500 word short story?
++ if you choose prompts that at first glance don’t seem to fit together at all
Choose one prompt from my blog (you can use random.org) between 1 and 820 and search for it by using #prompt [no.] on my blog.
Whatever your first inspiration is, the goal of the game is to write this one prompt in as many genres as you can think of for it. Write about 5 to 10 sentencesfor each genre and see the different directions you can take the same prompt in.
Choose a title or let your followers send you some in. Write a short drabble or a full story with that title. What is the first idea that comes to your mind?
+ if you take the same title and write completely different stories/different genres with it
2. Game:
Let your followers send you the titles and then create a short summary for what a potential story would be about.
3. Game: The Alphabet Game
Choose one title for every letter in the alphabet from these lists and fill them or let your followers pick characters for you to write a story for each title with. (Inspired by evilwriter37)
Trope of the day is… platonic love confessions. If you love your homies, go tell them. Pull it off like a romantic one and then hit them with the classic “as a friend” and watch them be happy about it, because they too love you as their friend.
Creating characters is one of the most important things to do while writing. Characters can make or break a story. No matter how good the idea, if the characters are flat, people are not going to keep reading. Here are some posts to help you create interesting and memorable characters.
