《Beast Knight》Bonus: Author's Corner (Updated April 21st)
Advertisement
***LATEST UPDATE***
Well, we've reached Chapter 10 and now averaging over 1000 views per chapter. That sounds like as good a milestone as any. I love reading your comments and speculations. If you're talking about the story and guessing at what might happen next, that means you enjoy it enough to begin imagining such things. Even the guesses that are way off the mark. That means I'm not being too predictable, which in turn means I'm doing my job properly. If you knew exactly what was going to happen next, it'd be boring, right?
Here's a sketch of Fen in his new uniform. Yeah, I'm not that great of an illustrator, and it's pencil art. But I'm too cheap to buy Photoshop so this is probably the best you'll get out of me.

Hey, everyone! It seems Chapter 5 reached a new personal record for me. Over 200 views within 3 hours of posting! It may not sound all that impressive compared to the more established and popular fictions here on RoyalRoadL.com. But Chapter 1 took 2 whole days to reach that number! The overall rating is also at an all time high of 4.83! (It's only 3 actual reviews, but I'll take it, dammit! lol)
Edit: (April 17th, 2015) Well, well. That record didn't last long. Chapter 6 broke 200 within just one hour. Holy crap. In other news, the rating has climbed to 4.9. Do you people really like the story that much or are you just inflating my ego for the lulz? :P
To celebrate, I'm opening this Author's Corner thread for bonus content. Whenever "Beast Knight" hits a milestone (or when I just get excited on my own, like this time lol) I'll be updating this first post with the aforementioned extra content.

I'll start off with a set of more in-depth character descriptions for each of the 3 important characters introduced so far.
---------------
Fen (no last name)
Age: 10 (-ish?)
Race: Wulvari
Gender: Male
Likes: Reading, Food
Dislikes: Authority... actually, he just really hates Roland
Magic Affinity: [none]
Bio: Dumped in the human capital somehow around the age of four, Fen spent his whole life so far in the streets. This hard life scraping by on the edge of society has been quickly eating away at any and all childish innocence he otherwise would have had. He uses the incredible strength and speed typical of his race to run circles around the city guard and essentially do as he pleases. He's often snarky and sarcastic, even in his own thoughts, and has little to no respect for authority. He learned to read mostly on his own by the age of six and likes to spend his time dumpster diving behind the academy for more books. His love for reading has elevated his vocabulary beyond most kids his age, taking his intellect along for the ride. Unfortunately for Roland, Fen often uses this higher IQ and extended vocabulary to make fun of him.
Milena Firth
Age: 10
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Likes: Fluffy things, her father Roland
Dislikes: Lizards
Magic Affinity: Ice
Bio: Milena grew up without a care in the world thanks to the loving support of her father, Roland Firth. She looks up to him and takes his word as law without question. A daddy's girl, through and through. She worries about him though and as she's grown, she's begun to notice the cracks in the picture of a perfect father that Roland is trying to be.
Roland Firth
Age: 31
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Likes: Milena, Order
Dislikes: Wulvari, especially Fen

Magic Affinity: Fire
Bio: Roland's family has produced members of the royal guard many times through multiple generations, many of them receiving the honor of becoming Captain of the Royal Guard. He normally is neat, tidy and orderly and takes his job very seriously, doing everything by the book. But for some reason every time he sees Fen, all of this just goes straight out the window. He is extremely protective of his daughter, Milena; almost irrationally so. He would sacrifice his job as Captain of the Royal Guard and even his status as a noble if he believed it would be in Milena's best interest.
The royal guard normally only guard the king and the vicinity around the castle and leave the public order to the city guard. But for some reason Roland has decided to butt in when it comes to Fen. Is there a special reason for that?

Feel free to make comments and speculations with other readers here in this thread. You can also ask me questions, but I won't be giving away any spoilers. Just about anything else is fair game.

8 74Larystaro
A long time ago, an ancient war happened between angels. Those who lost became fallen angels and formed an empire in another plane. They follow a single leader who they respect and love. They colonized new worlds and become technologically advanced. They did this all for the leader they love. One day the Empress was building a device which jammed and sent her to a lower magic/xianxia world. This world suppressed her powers, she became nothing but an ordinary fallen angel. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I try to write chapters everyday. Releasing them at 5pm GMT. Constructive criticism welcome! -Image from my friend Vialive :D

The Tower is everything we are and everything we will be. We are born from its whim, and we return to its majesty upon our death. Cultists of Ascension Somewhere outside of our Known Universe, there is a majestic structure that is so grand, it has become a Universe onto its own.

8 139The Beauty Of The End
William was abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him. He is forced into a life of crime, stealing just to feed his mother and himself. But that changes when he's given an opportunity to turn over a new leaf in a world of magic, war and tragedy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Beauty Of The End takes place in a fantasy medieval world where magic exists in multiple forms. William is a boy abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him, and at a young age is forced into crime just to feed the both of them. But one day he is visited by a knight order who tell him he has potential for magic. Listening to their words, he leaves to start a new life and train to become a mage like them. The Beauty Of The End updates every day and I'm hoping to push out 100+ chapters consisting off, at the minimum, five arcs. Sometimes there might be double uploads to make up for a break I might've taken. I have most of the story planned out in my head and am just writing down where I think the story should go. I have planned up to arc 2 and maybe some ideas for 3, but that's about it. Thoughts and criticism are appreciated, there's obviously going to be grammar and maybe spelling mistakes that'll I'll try to spot and fix. I might occasionally post chapters that explain certain parts of the world, e.g. lore, countries, organizations, species, magic etc.
