I may be interested. I mean, I'm not going to have anything resembling consistent internet for at least another week, and the week and a half after that is going to be pretty hectic, as I'm flying home at the end of it, but I'm still interested. And will probably regret that, considering how much I'm already writing, but still.

I'll admit to only having skimmed the discussion below (hence why I'm not entirely sure if anyone else has replied as a taker), but she does sound fascinating. In fact, I may have a partner for her--Agent Ariel. He may be meant for ESAS, though, depending on how much his powers get diminished; I don't know if that's an issue or not. If it is, we could try Agent Dawn McKenna, but she's a) fairly insane, b) the PPC liaison for SBEI (the Avengers-verse OFU), and c) gets visits from her author, which could get awkward for Avery. On the other hand, it could stabilize Dawn a little, so...I don't know. Whatever you like.

Ariel is a former Supernatural-verse angel. He ended up in the PPC due to the collapse of a badfic, where he was accidentally invoked instead of Uriel, and then didn't get out in time--possibly because he's not mentioned in SPN canon, possibly because the Laws decided that the Little Mermaid would be more amusing to have onscreen. I'm not really sure--his backstory's still being written. He does end up in the DMS, though, and then possibly in ESAS, depending on what conclusions I draw from the last few episodes of SPN, among other things. He's probably going to Fall rather a lot, though.

Dawn is based loosely on me. She quotes everything that comes into her head, and acts immaturely on missions if she's around people she trusts to hold her back. She wears crazy nail polish that's often sparkly, has a pet tribble and two mini-Balrogs, and often gets misfiled missions or is temporarily partnered with people from a different department. She also takes missions in a larger number of fandoms than Ariel, unless he spends several days reading and watching stuff. (In terms of fandoms, from what you listed we share HP and LotR. On the other hand, you wrote 'etc', so it's quite possible we share several more).

Also, what gave Avery that ability? And when she regenerates, does she change her appearance, or does it stay the same?

So...yes. I'd like to offer Agent Ariel and Agent Dawn as potential partners for Agent Avery. Your move :)

Forgive me if I seem a bit thick in asking this, but what sort of responses are you looking for this topic? Are you looking for someone who will co-write with you, some ideas for creating a partner to write alongside Avery, or for someone to give a character to you to work with, or possibly some combination of those? Just to clarify.

Also, a few questions of my own.

What is Avery? Species, continuum of origin, etcetera. The name sounds human, but non-humans can be known to use human names in certain continua, so I'm not sure.

Her semi-immortality is likely a side effect of her bit character origins, but what exactly caused it? Being unable to die isn't exactly on the same level as growing a third arm or impromptu teleportation in terms of Word World errors. Was there a particularly dire typo, was she caught up in something, was there a Suvian experiment that went horribly wrong, some fourth thing?

What do you mean, "consuming" the Words? Does she snatch them out of the air and physically consume them? Is it a "join me, be part of my power" deal, and she fuses with them? Do they enter into her body through her skin? Does she drain the material of reality from a badfic? I'm just trying to see mentally what this would look like.

What does this do to the Word World she's in when she saps Words from it? Since a story is held up by its Words, wouldn't consuming them distort it in some way?

What does the regeneration process do to her? Is her old body converted into a new body, do the Words build her a new body/rebuild her old one, or do the details just depend on the circumstances of the damage she's trying to regenerate from?
