Hi!

Okay, I decided I have some more questions.


- To the extent you can (I understand the desire to keep certain story elements close to your chest), what's the "end goal" for our characters? Are we, as characters within the story, going to be accomplishing something permanent, like making the nights less dangerous, or ending the cycle of literal feast and famine permanently?

- Do our characters have an understanding of why they were brought (or dragged, or forced) back to the world of the living, or are they just clawing their way out of the quiet earth to a view of "hey, monsters," and thinking "I was good at that!" This is really just to set an idea of tone - if this is a story about fighting monsters comparatively without context and to a goal the characters don't understand that they're furthering, that's fine, but I'd like to know that up front. 

- Do our characters know that [i]other[/i] heroes have returned to life? In fact, do they have any knowledge of one another at all?

- "Whatever powers there are" - Are these gods? The "Will of the Force?" Wild magic? A Jungian collective unconsciousness pressing against the fragile walls of a shared reality? An ancient and hyperintelligent artificial consciousness laced through the crust of a world it couldn't save when it was built, but tries now to preserve civilization through the creation of metahumans in an attempt to feel like its own creation, philosophically, was important?

- The more I think about this, I really just want to write a Mistborn. Can I do that? :3 (Ha ha, only serious. Maybe. Kinda?)
