Thank you! :) I'm still working out some of the details myself, but maybe I'll be able to work in more of the underlying mythology rules as the month progresses.
Oh my God, this is the best. ARCHERY. ASSASSINS WITH ARCHERY. (You're totally crossing over into my current interests. :P)
OK SOME THINGS. I love the names. Like, really really. (Though for some reason I was disappointed when I found out Dove was a guy in the first story. Or maybe I just thought that someone called Dove would be a girl. Which in retrospect makes the name cooler.) Also, Essya reminds me of a character me and my friend invented, though I doubt she would make poisons for assassins. :P OH AND THE SHADE THING IS SUPER AWESOME. She came in with the papers! Do they have to be invited in? Anyway! Super cool. I like muchly. :D
Your interests are my interests, my dear. There's a reason we get along so well. ;)
I'm glad you liked the names! Would you believe that they're based on typos? Back when me and my best friend were in university, we used to chat online A LOT (like 3 hours/day)... and each time we made a typo that looked particularly interesting, we'd define it, either as a name or a word. The words/names I particularly liked, I kept on file.
Dove, I named on my own though, and I chose it for a few reasons that I won't get into right now... I figured it would throw people off a little, but I kind of wanted to do that.
They don't have to be invited in. I'm not following any strict D&D Shade rules. There are, of course, many similarities (they're prone to being assassins, don't do well in the sun, etc), but I'm changing up the mythos a little bit (they are considered living, they have to eat and sleep, and more...).

it would be cool to delve into Shadow morality, as Dove clearly has no qualms about killing. :)
