A small update on Part 4

Part Four of Arrow Child will focus on characterizing the College Crew more. The one thing I plan on doing for the upcoming information is a full set of character notes. Also a minor set of notes for the outline for the next few parts. A few more names to the Cast of the minor characters plus some notes on the existing ones. Mostly appearance notes to keep some form of continuity. Also, I've started noting a few more things related to another project which will be for the far future.

Another Blogling

Not a long blog tonight though I do need to type more XD

I have updated and expanded the Modality system of Amazo, two new custom moods that express aspects of English I wanted to include.

First is the Necessative Mood:

This mood which is marked by the particle "ζαν" or "Zan" [ʒɑn] and is used to express the need or necessity of something. This is used when someone wants to desire something but also uses said desire as way to express that they NEED it.

"I desire this thing" with the attached marker it adds a secondary meaning that the desire is more than want and is necessity to the speaker.

Second is the Evidentative Mood:

This mood is marked by the particle "χειζ" or "Heis" [χeɪs] and is used to express the inference of something. Phrases such as "must have" or "may have" fit under this meaning. This can also be used to state that the action is either believed to have happened or is not. Not to be confused with Subjunctive which states that something is the opinion or judgement of someone.

Finally I am considering a few more aspects, this is because I want to have a specific verbal system for Amazo. And with Amazon I want them to have a sort of almost poetic intensive nature of their thoughts.
