Not just a trait list.
50 traits across 5 sections, each linking a damaging reputation to its reason, tell, and cost.
It gives a brand-new character the private logic, habits, and fallout behind their worst public moment, so readers can fall for the person everyone else has already put on the diplomatic incident register.
Get “Their Reputation Is Terrible, Their Reasons Are Worse,” a PDF reference library of character entries for supernatural rivals and love interests whose survival habits keep getting mistaken for villainy.
Across its themed sections plus a bonus, each entry gives you one outward behavior that makes people leave, followed by the internal logic behind it. Treaty table violence, missed funerals, ruthless competence, suspicion that looks cruel from across the room: the reference explains the cost beneath the reputation. This library stays with the real reason instead of handing everyone a tidy redemption arc. Every copy also renders a little differently, with fresh ink stamps, margin scrawls, and sign offs in each one.
Built for fiction writers creating shifters, werewolves, supernatural rivals, and dangerous love interests whose cold control or impossible preparation has a human cost underneath. Use it for character sheets, scene fuel, relationship tension, and motives that hold up after chapter three.
Give their worst traits a human pulse.
Every InkJaw pack gets its own jokes: the little notes in the margins, the whisper on the cover, the small stamps tucked into corners. We write them for this pack and nowhere else, so they keep making you laugh long after the first read.
A full page of mock-legalese, written just for this pack — everything InkJaw formally declines responsibility for. The only terms and conditions you'll actually want to read.
- The reputation They put their palms on a foreign envoy in front of three clans, overturned the treaty table, and left iron claw marks in polished oak. Every official account calls them the shifter who nearly started a border war over seating arrangements.
- The real story The envoy had hidden wolfsbane dust beneath the chair reserved for their younger sister, then smiled through the opening prayer. They smelled it before anyone else did, and had seconds to stop her sitting down.
- The tell At formal meetings, they inspect every chair themselves and stand behind their family until everyone is seated. Their voice goes clipped when anyone reaches under a table.
- The cost Diplomats refuse private meetings, and their sister hears the story as another public rescue she never asked for. The clan has a treaty with signatures on it and a guest list no one trusts.
- Use it Let the character meet the envoy's replacement, who expects violence before introductions. Put the sister in the room and make her decide whether to reveal what was under that chair.
- e.g. When the new envoy gestures toward the vacant seat beside him, the shifter pulls out a handkerchief, wipes the underside of the chair, and holds up the yellow residue without looking at anyone. Their sister says, very quietly, “I knew.”
