I will be doing a talk back about YP in another thread. For this one. I give you the characters. I do wish I did a pre-writing version of this for you. You’ve gotten the dream, and notes, the magic system and lists of characters, so here is the final write up for all the pivotal (and Main) characters!
As a note, the following contains spoilers for The Yasloughve Project. Please be advised.
Cheers!

[B5.28(288)]
He had never fully intended to save the world…Not when he got Heia. Not when he snuck in to get Zeydar. Not when he got his father. He had been acting as if it were a scavenger hunt and a daring exercise… Now that he no longer needed the adrenaline rush to survive, Evester could fully comprehend the position that he had placed himself in. He didn’t want to fail them all.
[B5.25(285)]
Book 3 Chapter 29(126)
“As long as I’m breathing I will fight,
and fight in the way I know. Fear be damned.”
Book 4 Chapter 99(246)
“Sometimes a little danger is needed.”

“But we say lots of things that don’t matter. Doesn’t make saying them any less important.”
“You will succeed. There is no ‘being careful’ with you. You have bled for the danger since the moment you were born… I simply demand that you do not let this horror and this dissonance to go to waste. Do not let the lies that have been spilled for you become a waste of breath.”
“I won’t.”
[B2.32(78)]
He was suspected to be impossible to kill. He looked danger in the eye and laughed in its face.
[B1.26(26)]
Book 4 Chapter 61(208)
“Don’t stay out too long. Your death might catch you from the shadows and I really can’t be bothered to save you a second time.”
“You say that, but you always will.”
Book 1 Chapter 30(30)
“Is that a smart idea?”
“No. Probably not. But EverDanger never backed down from a challenge before.”

“We are all human, and we are not to be forgotten.”

“You want me to believe in the fact that we can save the world? Then prove it.“

Book 3 Chapter 16(113)
“Are we saving the world or not Evester?”
“I’ll fight for the world even if you don’t.”
[B3.3(100)]
Heiphillia for our people is a name of power. A name of control. Someone who can go into a situation and destroy the status quo. A name that brought us such bad luck should be a curse, but we changed it to make it a charm. A charm to destroy the Circles who had claimed us back. The world leaders are not going to make it easy for us to convince them that we are saving the world but you are lucky you have Heia. Because thus far she has only lived up to her name, and our people will find a sort of poeticism in that.

“You have a good heart. Don’t let anyone take that from you.”

“You are the only one who is fighting for the world. If tomorrow the Aralax disappeared, and the world went back to how it was years ago… if we all woke up from this nightmare… you’d be the only one who’d fight for the world.”
Zeydar Arcadius

“The time for fear is over.”
[B7.3(354)]
He could bend space and time with his fingers and could hold up a collapsing tower of glass without thoughts alone. His power had been contained by Dreams and fear. He could annihilate everyone and everything on a whim. He was the epitome of power and cause. He wanted for nothing and cared for their people. He trusted more deeply than anyone in the world, laying his life in the palms of someone who he had just met.

“If you can’t control me and think I can’t control myself, then kill me. But if you think I am necessary, and, maybe even if for a bit, can control myself, then stop this charade. You have two options. I become Superior or I die.”
Book 5 Chapter 4(264)
“I was chosen to save humanity, not to end it.”
His magic was thriving. He was thriving. He had never felt more alive that in that moment. There was no residual pain, no residual memory, only him using his magic at its fullest potential and expanding that further in order to try harder, to do more. The burning at his fingertips was warm, soothing, dragging him further into the abyss of his powers that had once consumed him. He let himself fall into their waves, and let the world’s magic become his and his alone.
[B5.18(278)]
“You can’t save the world, if you can’t save yourself.”
[B4.3(150)]
Book 2 Chapter 7(53)
“He’s gone man. Disappears like smoke… He runs from anything that reminds him of his past.”
“Yet he falls to Sweet Dreams.”
“Reality is harder than dreams. Dreams you can control. It’s the past you can’t control.”

She knew, with most certainty, that he probably thought he was a monster too.
Book 4 Chapter 62(209)
“You simply aren’t the most chipper of people. Powerful, yes. Friendly? Like you’d rather rip a person’s tongue out and let it dry than hear them talk.”

Uly Igilistal
24-25
Of Ovaria
The Genius (EverDanger)
Uly would never discard him…this was what Uly had been trying to get him to do since the beginning.
[B4.17(164)]
Character Arc
Tech genius combined with the flawless pretty boy who is always correct. He learns more about the world and does all he can to save it.
Uly was created with the intention to act as a sort of foil against Evester. Where Evester did not care for the world, Uly does. He’s supposed to be a counterbalance to Evester’s wold nature.

“They are morons regardless and nothing is perfect.”
[B3.7(104)]
Uly always had a suit on or something similar. His slacks or jeans were pressed, his jacket was tailored. He usually wore a vest and a tie. His shirt was always white to begin with. He’d shave so that his facial hair was short, and sharp in its definition. His black wavy hair was always combed back. He looked like a movie star for each job, glasses on his face and smile at his lips. He never fit in, on purpose. Uly always had to look good…Uly got them fans because people wanted to see him undress. They all had their gimmick and Uly, as ‘the Genius,’ consistently played the role of the hot genius who was never prepared for what they were doing even when he was the most prepared.

Shawn
23-24
Of LakeLost
The Powerful (EverDanger)
We will make sure there is someone to save them.
[B3.28(125)]
Character Arc
The best friend, military man who learns about how the government can force you to do terrible things. He turns from being defensive, to being supportive for most everyone.
He was intended to be a minor character for Heia, who is left behind, but I decided to keep him and I’m honestly happy that I did.

“I know a man. He was bright. He was charming. He joined the cause when the Catastrophe came. He joined to protect all he had ever wanted to protect. He progressed in the ranks due to his intellect and skill, promised equality and equitable decisions based on capability. He was given it, and what was the cost?”
[B4.74(221)]
“How many would problems could be solved if they just cared?”
[B2.24(70)]

“I believe that if anyone can you can.”
May Arcodia
24-25
Of Arcadia
The Star (EverDanger)
Trust me. We’ll do this together.
[Β7.21(372)]
Character Arc
Girl next door, sharp military brat. She is indoctrinated by those she trusts and slowly learns to deny what they say and to stick to what she believes.
She was intended to be Zeydar’s centering force, and slowly she became a far more powerful woman in her own right. Although, I wish I would have explored her and Shawn’s military backgrounds more.
Family

Father: Unnamed
Siblings: None

Appearance

Skills: Magic (Class 2), Leadership, military training, support, trustworthy, adaptability
“I can not believe you Zeydar. This is reckless.”
[B2.16(62)]
There was a long tense moment where Zeydar debated on trusting her before he nodded. If he could not trust her for this, not after everything, then he had no one within the Stars. He needed her. He had to believe in her.
[B5.13(273)]
Book 5 Chapter 9(269)
“If my discipline was that fragile, I would have never got the title that I have.”
Book 5 Chapter 13(273)
“My boyfriend is dodgy, my best friend avoids me, and the whole house is operating like they are going to war?”
Book 4 Chapter 111(258)
“I’m not built for this.” May turned to Heia before looking back to those going through the training. “None of us are. The world is freezing and soon it will start burning.”
Phil
23-24
Of Arcadia
The Shapeshifter (EverDanger)
If I can’t even make you laugh, what is the point of my existence? I have no other purpose.
[B4.44(191)]
Character Arc
Party boy who has a pension for danger who supports his friends. Funny guy who is ready to risk it all at the drop of a hat.
Phil was the first of the EverDanger members to be created after Kim and Uly. I needed someone laid back to match with the two of them, and he became pretty smart as a person to keep up with their wit.
Family
Mother: Unnamed
Father: Unnamed
Siblings: Unnamed
Additional Noted: Found family is EverDanger.
Appearance
Hair: Brown, straight, wavy
Eyes: Brown/Hazel
General Other Features: Always has a smile, dimples, the most lanky of the group, has a very plain face that is easy to disguise and forget
Skills: Humor, Disguise, charm, persuasion, voices, contentiousness, spacial awareness, people reading
“How much time are we looking at?” Phil asked.
“Two Hundred Forty Four.”
“Days to get up there? We have all the time in the world.”

“We have all the time in the world.” Phil repeated, his voice lower, anticipating the end of times and savoring it on his lips.
[B1.31(31)]
“So you are the mysterious Star who Pops listed.”
“Phil, we haven’t even got into the room all the way.”

Rayda
25-26
Of Ovaria
The Strong (EverDanger)
You are working to be a better person but don’t eliminate the part of you that makes you unique. … Just because it has consequences doesn’t mean this world doesn’t need a few people who are reckless.
[B4.77(224)]
Character Arc
The rational doctor, who keeps the others from killing themselves regularly. She’s a sweet woman who like ths color yellow.
Rayda was brought in with Crass to be a rational force, to keep the team level headed in a different cool and collected way, from the way that Uly was.
Family
Mother: Unnamed
Father: Unnamed
Siblings: Unnamed
Additional Noted: Found family is EverDanger.
Appearance
Hair: Brown, 4B
Eyes: Brown
General Other Features: Rayda has locs throughout. She is tall, and muscular, with a soft spoken voice.
Skills: medicine, psychology, people reading, management, listening, planning, image control.
“We really don’t get a choice.”
[B4.77(224)]
Rayda was always like that; it wasn’t like she doubted him. It was that she understood that he wasn’t great at trying things. When Uly had became friends with her, it had been because she was as smart as him. They’d met in university and became great confidants. Where Uly was concept smart, Rayda was people smart. Rayda knew Evester well for not knowing him as long as Uly or Kim.
[B4.21(168)]
Book 1 Chapter 36(36)
“You may die.”
“Wouldn’t be the first time we were in such a situation.”
Book 4 Chapter 77(224)
“Who else would have? You two are helpless on your own.“
Book 4 Chapter 47(194)
“Key words and phrases. This is what you do with sponsors. Seamlessly wrap it in or as if it isn’t a sponsorship at all.”
Crass
24-25
Of Merotia
The Calm (EverDanger)
Its never been you on your own. It’s never us on our own. EverDanger is a team. Remember? … if we mess up it will not just be you. It will be all of us.
[B5.25(285)]
Character Arc
The quiet one with a dark and mysterious past who does his best to protect and save those that he cares about. The surrogate big brother, who will fight for those he loves.
I knew I wanted a quiet and stern character who did more action than talking, and that became Crass.
Family
Mother: Unnamed
Father: Unnamed
Siblings: Unnamed
Additional Noted: Found family is EverDanger.
Appearance
Hair: Brown, 4A
Eyes: Brown/Black
General Other Features: He is the tallest of the group, and the largest. He is very strong, and has a very soft voice that is also deep.
Skills: Protecting others, lifting, listening, supporting others, fighting, survival, tactics, awareness.
Crass saw them, understood them, and was able to link them better than they had been before. Crass may not have learned quick, or been the loudest, or been the fastest runner and he wasn’t the strongest then, but Crass knew them all. He was dedicated to them because he was EverDanger and EverDanger was his new family.
[B4.42(189)]
“Don’t. The person you are is good.”
[B4.77(224)]
Book 1 Chapter 41(41)
“I hate this stuff. Makes me wonder if I have claustrophobia.”
Book 3 Chapter 13(110)
“You know what this is.”
“A revolution.”
Book 4 Chapter 42(189)
“We may be upstanding citizens, but I don’t want anyone getting any funny ideas.“
Lynx
24-25
Of Havelia
The Creative (EverDanger)
Lynx often quoted from things Heia had never read.
[B1.32(32)]
Character Arc
Fiery, sharp character who is quick to do what is needed. Passionate and willing to risk it all.
Lynx and Onyx were last minute additions. I think that shows in their development, but I liked the dynamic of two people who were more recent members and added crew that don’t fit in as well to the others.
Family
Mother: Unnamed
Father: Unnamed
Siblings: Onyx
Additional Noted: Found family is EverDanger.
Appearance
Hair: Brown, 3A
Eyes: Brown
General Other Features: Usually has her hair up. She is loud and takes up a lot of space.
Skills: Filming, cinematography, parkor, balance, adaption, escape.
“One more dangerous gambit.”
[B7.54(405)]
Lynx, on the other hand, had become a flame, lashing out when she had to, to protect her sister. Lynx had to get creative, which was where her name came from. She was able to come up to solutions to things, even when in danger, that most others may not think of. For EverDanger viewers she was thought to be able to think on her feet and come up with not only entertaining, but effective solutions to tasks.
[B4.43(190)]
Book 4 Chapter 28(175)
“Something to idolize a symbol. They do it in all the great books.”
Book 4 Chapter 36(183)
“She’s royalty ain’t she? How can she not?”
Book 4 Chapter 36(183)
“Listen. What I did was not illegal.” Lynx snapped.
“Yet.” Onyx added.
“Whose side are you on?”
Onyx
24-25
Of Havelia
The Shadow (EverDanger)
Onyx was gifted in mimicking others and being able to read them.
[B1.32(32)]
Character Arc
Quiet and observant, someone with skills to observe the smallest detail and make it shine.
Lynx and Onyx were last minute additions. I think that shows in their development, but I liked the dynamic of two people who were more recent members and added crew that don’t fit in as well to the others.
Family
Mother: Unnamed
Father: Unnamed
Siblings: Lynx
Additional Noted: Found family is EverDanger.
Appearance
Hair: Brown, 3B
Eyes: Brown
General Other Features: Hair is usually down, she has no scars, but always covers her face with masks.
Skills: video editing, audio editing, parkor, adaptability, balance, fighting
Onyx was like Crass, of little words. Unlike Crass, she was also expressionless. Heia wanted to know how Onyx walked with so little sound and was able to breathe so silently. She was like an assassin out of a comic book.
[B4.43(190)]
Onyx was also more of an adrenaline junkie.
[B1.32(32)]
Book 4 Chapter 36(183)
“Listen. What I did was not illegal.” Lynx snapped.
“Yet.” Onyx added.
“Whose side are you on?”
Book 3 Chapter 13(110)
“Then.” Onyx placed her hand down not the map. “You know what this is.”
“A revolution.”
Book 3 Chapter 17(114)
“Why last?” Onyx laughed. “We need to make an opening for you pretty boy.”
Europa Igilistal
19-20
Of Valaria
The Princess (EverDanger)
It’s not logical.
[B6.10.319]
Character Arc
Emotional, pampered princess who has to control herself and keep her image in place so that the world does not tear her apart.
I wanted a family for Evester, with people that were different from him. A princess emotional sister character was the first thing that came to mind. Someone who was pampered, but I couldn’t make her selfish for I didn’t feel like that fit the family.
Family
Mother: Estashia Igilistal
Father: Maverin Igilistal
Siblings: Endwin Igilistal, Evester Igilistal
Additional Noted:

General Other Features: She has dark skin, and hair that is silky and shines. She has no scars or blemishes.
Skills: Politics, Economics, Manipulation, Bribery, People Control, Law
“Why can’t she show love?” Heia asked.
“Its what got mother into trouble.” Europa answered, “I need to be controlled. This is contracted.”
[B7.50(401)]
Evester could picture his sister’s sweet smile, that was a mask for her finding the person before her to be adorable. His sister was just like their mother, calculated, cold, viewing relationships as transactions, and anything other than stupid.
[B4.42(189)]
Book 2 Chapter 33(79)
“The Uncertain End can only be ended with unification.”
Book 2 Chapter 33(79)
Europa was not yet her mother, but she was becoming her mother. Or perhaps, a far scarier version.
Book 2 Chapter 25(71)
“The goal is to stop the destruction, to prove that by following the project that we can stop it from happening.”
Endwin Igilistal
27-28
Of Valaria
The Secret (EverDanger)
It’s an art…Deal with it.
[B4.109(256)]
Character Arc
Elder brother who is an know-it-all, and seems to be perfect at everything but is secretly suffering under the pressure of keeping everything together.
I wanted to make Endwin more resentful of Evester who had freedom that he always wished for, but instead made him a more calculative person, as someone who knows he is disposable at any moment should he become a hinderance.

General Other Features: He has a short beard. He has a tall frame and is muscular (but in the, I purposely do this to show off way)
Skills: Politics, Bribery, Connections, People Control, Marketing, Economics, Tactics, Strategy, threats, deception
“And if the pictures pass to the common people they’ll think us tyrants. It is all calculated, don’t worry. We’ve been trained for this, you haven’t. You needn’t eat here if it makes you feel uncomfortable, but our family has always been prepared to be eviscerated by the public.”
[B4.44(191)]
“How kind.” Evester lightly punched his brother. “Offer my clothes.”
“You aren’t wearing them.”
[B2.4(50)]
Book 4 Chapter 73(220)
“He told me to always act in her benefit or he would make sure I never saw the next dawn…Our friends were picked. Our enemies chosen. Our lovers. Our futures were laid out on gold pieces of paper that we had to memorize before we were ten.”
Book 2 Chapter 3(49)
“We are worried you brought traitors into the house. We get to be apprehensive Evester.”
Book 4 Chapter 73(220)
“Love is a fickle word in this family. I love my family. I love my friends. Evester loves his friends. Europa loves her family. We say that to each other at all times. We toss the word around as if it has no meaning. However, like? Sure we might like people. We might appreciate them as humans. However when we like someone, that is something to control because that means we might love them.”
Kori
15-16
Of LakeLost
The Hero (EverDanger)
No Mercy.
[B4.28(175)]
Character Arc
Sharp, quick witted, fight-a-holic, rash hotheaded survivor. She learns that fighting isn’t just for fun, it is for protecting others, and will risk her life to do that.
After Heia, I knew that she had the three younger siblings. Like Uly, Kim, Shawn, and May (bestfriends), I needed some different mirrors. Kori is like Evester, in the adrenaline, thrill seeking path that turns to wanting to save others. She shows the dedication of Heia and what happens when the two mix.

Skills: Fighting, Survival, Leadership, Agility, Adaptability
“We’re fighting to survive. That means we fight to live, and I’m not going to let someone die if I can save them.”
[B5.19(279)]
Kori took down two Aralax with such skill and finesse, that Heia wondered if there were anyone else on their team as capable at fighting Aralax in combat as Kori. Heia had seen others, and Zeydar could take down waves with magic, but the way that Kori handled her blade was like a master craftsman. The way she moved her body was like that of a practiced fighter. She was far above the rest of EverDanger when it came to combat, and each moment she was on screen made that clear.
[B5.21(281)]
Book 4 Chapter 19(166)
“What do you suggest?” Kori asked. “That we EverDanger this?”

It’ll probably be me saving you.
[B5.8(268)]
Character Arc
Unprecedented late bloomer, who is explosive in skill. He is a great student who learns to support himself and that he can shape the world.
After Heia, I knew that she had the three younger siblings. Like Uly, Kim, Shawn, and May (bestfriends), I needed some different mirrors. Kony is a mix of Zeydar and Evester, in the confidence and the drive to prove himself. Unlike the two he is controlled.

“Who needs books when it’s magic?”
[B2.24(70)]
Book 3 Chapter 25(122)
Kony looked to him, eyes determined. Eyes unwilling to back down. The scariest sort of person. Someone who had been backed into a corner and was ready to do anything. Kony had been a fast learner, but now Kony had a determination that made him more dangerous.
Book 4 Chapter 103(250)
Kony had no need to be humble.
Book 4 Chapter 73(220)
Kony was a viper in the making and Zeydar had to make sure his bite was as good as his act.

The Fairy (EverDanger)
The path is wild and scary and we need to have someone who is willing to brave that.
[B4.77(224)]
Character Arc
A sweet innocent passerby, who is actually more calculating and controlling that meets the eye. A black widow in the making, someone who looks sweet and can control you. She becomes more visible and powerful as she is forced to shine on her own.
After Heia, I knew that she had the three younger siblings. Like Uly, Kim, Shawn, and May (bestfriends), I needed some different mirrors. Karla is the mixture of Zeydar and Heia, in a controlled confident person who is willing to act in any manner necessary to get what she needs.

Character Arc
Spunky, I-can-do-it-myself kind of girl, who doesn’t need someone else to help her, but does need to learn to rely on others.
