Thanks for answering! and that's what I figured lol good work Rick
Man, I wanted to ask a question, but it says you're not taking any more. I wanted to ask for a long time now whether you'll write more about Clarisse and how her relationship with Ares is going.
I've been feeling kind of sad for a while now of how you've portrayed most of the Ares kids in your series, so a chance to expand more on their characters and to prove that they can be more than the bully stereotype the camp seems to think of them as. Don't get me wrong, Frank is cool and great, but as a Mars kid, it feels different, like you gave some character development to his Mars side rather than as Ares. I know Ares isn't perfect even by real life mythology, but the way you've written his kids over the years only makes me want to root for them more. War can be more than blood and bombs, it can be a great force for change driven by willpower rather than bloodlust. That's what I think anyway. They feel like the underdogs constantly having to fight twice as hard for the same respect that everyone else automatically gets.
I basically think of this song called "From Shadows" that fits them Imo. It's a RWBY original soundtrack that you can find on YouTube, if you're interested.
I've been wanting to say this for so long, but I never knew how to tell you without some crazy short character limit. I hope you can at least think about this; I don't want to come across as someone coming into your study and telling you how to write your own story.
