1. I’m debating on whether I should explain whose audition tape it is or not. I honestly didn’t mean for it too ambiguous, since this would likely end up on their character page. That said I agree, I like both characters. These tapes are a bit mysterious because if you had the character, or likely the story when it’s done, there are things in this audition tape you’d be like…”OOH”. But that makes kind of fun…

Also points to you or anyone who can guess their labels (and if you can do it without looking up the list Twinnie). I feel like most are obvious, but still.

2. I didn’t even think about it, but oh god Giovanni is going to be your favorite. Cocky, flirty hot person? Of course it is. AND THANK YOU <3 I appreciate that so much! I’m like on a high from this.

3. His name isn’t Gary, but good guess. I didn’t realize until posting this that I didn’t mention his name...but that fits the character, so I left it. I will say it’s amazing how this random draw picked characters with mostly normal names. Cause this cast has QUITE a few WTH? names.

Interesting you think you’ll like them because they have a big personality. Obviously that helps them not being boring, but I usually think too over the top characters aren’t you faves. I might be wrong about that though.

4. I didn’t even notice the Riley vibes, but now I can’t not that see them. Will she be Riley though? As for the hearing aid...well, it’ll be explained.

5. I’m not sure if you remember Twinnie, but you actually suggested this character. He went by a different name, but I feel Montana worked better. I feel like...yeah, he’ll be a very Zac favorite character regardless of you suggesting him. To be fair to Eylar, I feel like his personality made sense as a spy, as someone reserved and secret. I think Montana has definitely sailed The Forgotten Seas.

6. I really like Cassidy’s, so I’m glad you liked it. And thank you! Cassidy is very inspired by Jenna and Catheryn and similar characters. One of my favorite archetypes. I’m glad you touched on that cause that’s I love exploring archetypes and I tried to do that with Genesis too.

When I do a Let’s Talk for Genesis that’ll make more sense, but a lot of characters were inspired by common archetypes or common tropes and I was trying to do stuff with them. I think some of Genesis 2.0’s characters will do the same.

A slight spoiler, but my idea when doing these audition tapes was to tease some characters at the end of Genesis’s reunion. Ya know, how stories do questions and stuff as like a bonus chapter. Cassidy’s was created with that specifically in mind…

I honestly want to say so much about these characters. I can’t wait for you to see their bios and the other characters. But I don’t want to get ahead of myself! I still need to finish Genesis…

I think you’ll love what’s coming. I definitely have theories on who’ll be your faves and who won’t.

Thank you so much for commenting <333
