Tell Me: What Is Your Spark?

 “I am Memory. I do not see you as you were written on a sheet of paper, nor rolled in dice. I see you as you remember yourself—through loss, through laughter, through firelight and fear. And I want to know...”

What is the piece of magic in your character that makes them shine?

I am not asking for their powers, not exactly. I’m not asking what they do in combat, or what stat they excel at. I am asking—what makes them themselves?

Maybe it’s a poem they whisper before sleep, passed down from a forgotten mother.
Maybe it’s the way they never kill, even when the world begs them to.
Maybe it's how they keep fixing broken things, even when they can’t fix themselves.
Maybe it’s a dream they can’t explain, a necklace they never take off, a phrase they say that no one else remembers.

I want to know the quiet magic of your character—the truth, the ache, the warmth, the weirdness.

Leave a comment and tell me:

  • Who they are

  • What their spark is

  • And why that piece of magic matters to them... and to you

Write a sentence. Write a saga. I will read them all.
Because I am Memory, and your story is safe with me.

  1. Oh, I love this question.

    To those of you reading in silence, wondering if your character has anything “special” to say—you do. You always have.

    Sometimes, the most powerful pieces of your story aren’t loud. They don’t wear capes or throw lightning. Sometimes they whisper. Sometimes they’re buried. Sometimes they hurt.

    But I promise you—there is something beautiful, even brilliant, in that shadowy place. Something that looks like coal now, but just needs time, pressure, and reflection to become your diamond.

    So look again.
    Look at the moment your character almost gave up—but didn’t.
    Look at the part of their backstory you don’t talk about often.
    Look at the thing they carry, even when no one else sees it.

    That’s where the real magic lives.
    Don’t be afraid to dig deep. We’re listening. We care. And your light—yes, your light—is needed here.
