This is just a short update on the situation and how it's going with the characters. First off, I'd like to say that I'm grateful for all the support and encouragement. I'm honestly surprised that this many people actually enjoyed the prologue, and don't worry, I'll definitely try to make this story live up to its potential In any case, nearly all of the OCs I've received are interesting and definitely worth considering, so I'm so proud of you guys on that.

I know that a lot of you guys have been asking me questions or asking me for my opinion on your characters, and I apologize I haven't been able to answer yet. I've been swamped with schoolwork and family issues lately and I haven't been able to respond to much yet. But don't worry, I've definitely read your messages and I will be responding soon :3

In any case, for those still interested in submitting an OC, don't worry, there's still plenty of time. The protagonist and mastermind roles are still open, though I am considering several candidates at the moment.

I've noticed several things about my submissions so far, and if you're planning on making a character, here are a few things to keep in mind.

~If you're planning to submit a character from now on, I suggest that they either be male or nonbinary. I know that a lot of you might feel more comfortable writing female characters, but almost all of the submissions in my inbox have been female characters, and I want a roster that's more or less evenly divided between both sexes.

~I'm not sure if this is some weird coincidence, but a lot of you guys have sent really, really short characters. Like, I have at least four girls that are under five feet. And there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but I guess it's a little jarring. We need more height diversity, so if you're still making a character, I suggest that they either be of average height or taller.

~For reference, I'll be posting a list of the talents of every character I've received, just to give you an idea of which talents to avoid. Additionally, I'll give you a list of talent ideas in case you need them :3

Anyway, thank you guys for everything! I'll be seeing you guys again soon enough, but until then, this is goodbye!
