Yeah my story is multigenerational (ive sort of mentioned this before to you I think?) so it tells the character's stories until they die (actually, even past that point, since an afterlife is involved, lmao sorry my story's scope is way to massive to deal with) and then a new generation takes over and such. I'll definitly have to think about including themes of war trauma, especially for the characters who are not grown when the story starts. Also a lot of the main characters have been training for war since early adolescence (and one grew up in a prison camp) even if they are young adults when the story starts, so I'll have to deal with that theme as well and the fallout that has on their psyches. Interesting to think about. Thats why I like talking about it. Brings up new themes I realize Ive underbaked. Which just ads more to the scope lmao but there it is.
