Contest #21: Writing challenge

What is the limit on "few of them"? Would 3 or 4 suffice or is that too much of a stretch?
I know you are looking for a background story "for a character" I just wanted to be clear on the number of characters i could "focus on" in one story.

Also one more question: The point of View
Can we use 3rd person instead of 1st person?
I'm pretty sure most of us think automatically we would have to write in 1st person since it's a background story for a character.
I tend to write better if it's done in 3rd person rather than the latter.

Hoho! Joined!!
This place motivates me to become an artist, this place motivates me to learn coding, this place made me grow up, showed me the ways to interact with people. Unlike the old childish of me myself, I've learned a lot and gotten some experiences. For me, it's not just a fan forum, it's a helpful community. From a noob to someone who would think before he speaks, looking back at my old post made me laugh hard, I'm grateful of the differences between these 2 years.

I just want to stress this once more, the story should revolve around a single character or a very small group. If he/they, on his/their way of development encounter/s other characters, latter should play only a minor role. We just don't want you to go complete overkill and describe every single character in one story. If you think that one character grew up in a little group or something like that, then sure, you're free to add a few more guys. 3-4 is probably the above limit already.

I don't think that Reaper has specified any POV to be used. So yeah, whatever feels best to you. Technically, you can also write in second person but this might sound really awkward :p
Anything goes :D

I think I might have gone a little overboard with this but it was definitely worth it. :D
Have fun reading it.

@bellow
Not quite, Revamped Sprites is my longest post. But if you're talking about my longest instant reply message then yeah you are right. :P

So I just realized how many errors I need to fix and cool things I left out in the story. I'll update that post later on this week. It's too early in the morning for me to change my stuff. Stay tuned for version 2 next week.
Good night.

'tis going to be a really really weird Haiku.... or a long poem. If you can pull it off in a decent fashion, I'm going to tip my imaginary hat.
