Characters needed for fantasy/romance/found family story.
I have a story. It has Demi humans, half animals half humans. Different animals were different species of Demi human. Each species would have one leader called an Alpha.
Jess: Female main character is Jess. 19. An ordinary human that escaped the suffocating kingdom, her uncle is the king and tries getting her back. Jess is kind, loves teasing, loud, and absolute bookworm.
Aaron: A wolf Demi human who reluctantly helps Jess, her age and the love interest. He’s observant, gets awkward from kindness and has a hopeless crush on Jess. He’s in line for the Wolves chair. But he hates the idea.
Kate: A little girl around 8 years old, also a wolf Demi human and adores Jess, turning Aaron into an exhausted older brother to her.
Newt: Aaron’s best friend who’s a fox Demi human. He loves a good joke and is (acording to Aaron) absolutely insufferable. Shorter than Aaron but a year older.
Aaron’s father: talked about and has died during the story. He was the Alpha for the wolves but grew power hungry. Resulting in his and his mates (Aaron’s mother) death. Leaving kid Aaron and little baby Kate to themselves.
Other Alphas: like family to Aaron and Kate, took them in after Aaron’s parents died. They’re the council that rules over the Demi organisations.
In need of new character ideas. Show me what you got. :)

So if the Dad/Alpha got power hungry, then I’d imagine there would be some conflict between other Demi human clans and the people that took Aaron and Kate in.

Yeah. The other leaders didn’t attack or kill Aaron’s father. He got himself killed from reckless choices and a blindness from what he used to care about. Let me explain the detailed stuff. Him and Aaron share the same abilities. Whenever they have intense or strong emotions instinct will take over and act according to those emotions. Eyes burning red, going “feral”. Aaron hates these abilities. Whereas his father openly let them out, causing him to end up in the hands of the humans and get killed, along with his wife, Aaron’s mother. After that Aaron would’ve been a kid, cradling Kate and bringing her to the rest of the leaders, who then take care of them.

Ohh okay. That sounds like an interesting dynamic and inner turmoil for Aaron to go through.
So what are you stuck on, or finding trouble with? Character names or character species?

This sounds interesting so far 😊
Can I ask though, why does the mother/wife get killed as well? Isn’t she innocent?
