Re: Describe your character/story in eight words

For one of my main characters:

Evil-minded, cynical, sarcastic mage hates not killing people.

And he's supposed to be the good guy lol.

as for the plot:

Naive girl finds she's not entirely human. EEEK!

Re: Describe your character/story in eight words

I like the name and the title Blood. That isn't meant as part of an eight word story either, although it was eight words.

Re: Describe your character/story in eight words

Incredibly impossible to describe in merely eight words. (Though I suppose that's cheating)

More like : Average boy sucked into another world's government's conspiracy.
