《Writers Game: Whodunnit?》Cyril Marinescu [DEAD]
Advertisement
Writer: @ElfOfResilience
Name: Cyril Marinescu
Age: Twenty Seven
Gender: Male
Personality: Serious is the best word you can use to describe Cyril. His stern and authoritative traits often make him seem unapproachable, not to mention his occasional arrogance and supreme intelligence. Observant, cunning and hard-working are three - or four, if you're being picky - other words that can be linked to Cyril. Underneath his monotonous character, he is a caring and genuinely loving man. As long as you don't mess around and trouble others, Cyril will be more than happy to be your friend. Warning - Cyril does lack humour, so cracking a pun on him will make him grunt and go back to his serious ways.
Appearance: When you imagine a French man, what comes into mind? Berets? Striped shirts? Onions around the neck? Throw out some parts of the stereotype and you're left with Cyril. Short and curly brunette locks sit atop the man's head, covering no aspect of his long face. Pale and thin, his bright blue orbs are a delicacy to stare at. Accompanied by that moustache many men find amusing to look at, Cyril is certainly a character; his appearance doesn't match his personality. Thin and tall with little muscle, Cyril isn't the kind of man you'd pick a fight with if you wanted competition.
Background: Born in Bordeaux and raised in Quebec, Cyril has travelled and has learned how to speak French from a very young age. Nothing too tragic happened in his live, other than him attending Portsmouth University in England before moving to LA. Cyril's family live in Quebec and have done since Cyril was roughly four years old. The French boy has always had an interest for the English language and devoted his time to learning to speak Canada's other main language. Cyril's passion for painting, crime fiction and the saxophone is also large, but nothing compares for his love of the English language.

Valor and Violence
Valor and Violence is a series of short stories following different, yet all equally colourful, characters set in the same world. Birth of a Legend, the first short, follows Captain Erskine Erwell, a newly promoted Captain in the Calandorian Royal Navy, charged with protecting his people from all who would do them harm. Great news for the Calandorian citizens, bad news for the Skjar reavers that ravage the shores in search of slaves. But when a small reaver fleet slips the net and escapes to the southern jungles of Marduk, Erwell must fight a war on two fronts; one against the raiders, and a far more difficult war against the hostile landscape. If he can't find allies in this strange land, he may end up being the one in need of saving. The first part of the second short story will be uploaded on Saturday, the 11th of June, following Ferez Ahud, an aspiring young battlemage charged with the unsavoury job of 'terminating' a rogue member of his college. But how this nobody of a mage became a fugitive remains a mystery, and when the answer is discovered, the tables are turned and the hunter becomes the prey. I'll be uploading chapters of more in-universe short stories each week or as close to, work permitting. Content Guidelines: course language and violence
8 99Essence of the Dragon
Saelina has had no say in her life, thus far. She's spent the last decade barely eking out a living, on the outskirts of Mahlein, courtesy of her former fiancée and his father, who've pushed her further and further towards starvation. She has done things most people would find beneath them and still she stands. Things change when she finds a wounded sorceress in the woods and decides to help the woman in the hopes of a hefty reward. Ezeas is a Nyxan scout, sent out to retrieve an important weapon, believed to be in the possession of a crafty sorceress. His country is on the brink of war and needs the help of the dragons, only given to those who posses a bit of the mystical beasts' essence .~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "If you did not have to limit yourself to...anything. What would you wish for? What is your truest desire, Saelina?" "Power." The answer came without deliberation or pause. "The power to never starve, to stand on my own, without someone holding me up. To reject whomever I want, whenever I want." Tahlisa's gaze became more intent and she moved close to her rescuer. "Say you had that power, right here, right now. What would you do?" Saelina smiled cruelly. It was a wholly new expression, yet it somehow made her features terrifyingly beautiful, Tahlisa realized. "I'd burn down the Tower and force the Harrows to watch as their home, their legacy turns to ash."

8 126Fantasy World
Spencer Underwood has little realistic hope of escaping his paraplegic, bullied, and friendless high school existence. At least until he and three classmates are unrealistically transported to Nibiru, a legendary fantasy world ruled by mythological gods and inhabited by strange races and nightmarish monsters. Spence can walk again, which is good considering he will have to use his online fantasy role-playing game experience to lead the dysfunctional party on the gods’ quest and summon the courage to finally stand up to Trey, his worst bully from school. Success means survival and earning respect and acceptance, especially from Morgan, his attractive but snarky Goth classmate. But Spence discovers Nibiru is more a world of science fiction than fantasy, and they are just unwitting pawns in a deadly scheme of the gods. If completing the quest doesn’t result in their return to Earth, the party may have to do the unthinkable and challenge the gods themselves. (The novel is complete at 56 chapters, so feel free to jump in without fear of it fizzling out in a premature demise.)

8 109Barry Buckman and the Interdimensional Beastiary
In the beginning of 2021 I did something possibly stupid, I hired a ghostwriting company to write one of the many ideas going on in my head since I was busy with my job. Unfortunately... They were not the greatest, after the first writer assigned to me left I was stuck with... We'll just call her 'Karen'. Karen didn't want to listen to my feedback on chapters, and turned what was supposed to be a long story about a young guy surviving on an island of supernatural and crazy stuff, and becoming stronger from it, was turned into a not so great romance novel.I plan on releasing another one, probably after this that will be Barry Buckman Redux, which will be me writing it out the way I originally envisioned it.
