Today's update has some major announcements concerning season two. I'm currently going through a major revision process of my plan for the season. While this will not delay the start of the season or any of its episodes, it does drastically change what I had announced in terms of chapters. The titles of the chapters will all change. I am also abandoning the Espers of the Heart subtitle for the season, and chapters will no longer all be named similarly within a season.
I can also confirm that season two will contains six chapters and a total of 24 episodes. The six chapters are:
No character bios today. I will post the next two tomorrow, along with any other news.
--Paper
Today's update has a lot of content but not a lot of announcements. Firstly, voice actors. Take them with a grain of salt because I might change them, but I've decided to give every character an actor who would voice them, because I feel like it. If you disagree with me and think I've made a bad choice for a certain character
Secondly, a sneak peak of Denial, which will premiere one week from today. The sneak peak will include the previously section, the credits, including --VOICE ACTORS-- and a bit of the first scene of the episode. I may release another sneak peak of a different part of the episode as it gets closer to next week.
Finally, two characters bios, as promised: Michael James and Arik Iverson

Michael James | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Michael is a major character in Attack on To'kustar. He is a 15 year old boy from Ateria, the town where the To'kustars first return. When they break through the walls and get into the city, he is forced to flee. Michael tries his very best to be friendly to those around him, and goes out of his way to stop arguments before they turn into fights. When he was two years old, his father was arrested after murdering his mother, so he was raised for the previous 13 years by the family of his good friend, Teru Hikami. He is extremely extroverted and patient, though when put into certain situations with people he is very comfortable around, he can be more open about his personal thoughts and feelings. He tends to assume the best out of people, and never thinks that someone would be capable of doing something other than pure good until it has already happened. For this reason, he can be overeager and too trusting, which may prove to be problematic in a world where betrayal and deception seem to be common tactics. After the To'kustars breach the wall surrounding the city, Michael joins a military training program with several other children in his town and Teviv.

Arik Iverson | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Arik is a major character in Attack on To'kustar. He the 14 year old daughter of Ben Iverson and Yolanda Iverson, the former of whom was one of the few people to travel outside Wall Via. Unfortunately, Ben was was killed many years ago, leaving behind only his journal for his son's viewing. Following his father's death, Arik was raised by his mother, who tried to spend more time at home in Ateria, despite her job in the capital working for the government. Due to his difficult upbringing, Arik tends to be more reserved and shy in social situations. Despite this, he is good friends with Sven Schmidt, who is the only person with whom Arik is willing to talk to about and show his father's journal. After the To'kustars breach the wall surrounding the city, Arik joins a military training program with several other children in his town and Teviv. As the training begins, he begins to open up to his fear of To'kustars and the unknown, realizing that he can use his intellect to make up for his deficits in physical strength. Perhaps the smartest of the children who flee Ateria, Arik uses his smarts to aid him in combat, making him overall just as strong as his teammates.

However, she can get very emotional about things that she is passionate about, or around people that she cares about. She is rather introverted and prefers to be alone, but that doesn't stop her from having a few close friends. At her school, she was in the same class as Michael James, and also became good friends with Hadria Carter. Lily is an only child, and was raised by her parents Graham and Kerry, both of whom lived their whole lives in Ateria.

Teru also grew up alongside his close friend Michael James, who was orphaned at the age of two. At times, Teru can be a bit of a bully, putting himself before others for humor or selfish means. However, deep down, Teru can be very serious, and often thinks the most clearly when he can have fun at the same time. Teru tends to try and dominate social situations, but he is slowly learning not to be as demanding. With Michael and his family, he lived in Ateria for his whole life until the To'kustars returned. After this, Teru joins a military training program with several other children in his town and Teviv. Training with the military helps Teru to realize that his greatest strength is his intelligence, which makes up for his tendencies to do what is funny instead of what is right. Nonetheless, Teru is a straight shooter, who isn't afraid to tell people what he thinks, even if it might cause a disagreement.

I've been busy the last two days, which is why that there haven't been any updates, but I assure you I am still happily progressing in my writing. I will change my schedule slightly, however, to post eight more character bios tomorrow, and a trailer for the new chapter on Monday.
--Paper
The eight character bios will be posted later. They will be for the following characters: Tuesday Smith, Ryan Thames, Nathan Loretta, Penny Blair, Vance Grace, Maxwell Wagner, Troy Dieter, and Pietro Czeswin.

Okay, bios will be posted tonight.
--Paper
Scratch everything in the previous few posts. I said I was considering splitting the season one finale into two parts but ultimately decided against it; well, I changed my mind. The season finale is indeed two parts. I have moved some scenes around among the first five episodes and ultimately condensed them into four episodes. They will be named and released as follows:
As you can, most episodes are being delayed a week. Hopefully this will not happen again in the future. Also, because I have a few more days before I start releasing episodes again, I'm going to hold off on the bios I promised until tomorrow. Two a day Monday-Thursday.
One day this week I will release the chapter trailer. Again, I apologize for the delays. I will try to do a double episode at some point, maybe the season finale, maybe the season two premiere, or maybe something else, not entirely sure, but I'll certainly try.
--Paper
Chapter 6 is now officially done, and ready to begin on Friday. The character bios I've been promising will be released later today and tomorrow, along with a chapter trailer tomorrow.
--Paper
Here are four character bios, featuring Tuesday Smith, Ryan Thames, Nathan Loretta, and Penny Blair!

When the To'kustars return, Tuesday initially goes along with the Knights plan, but she betrays the organization shortly afterwards, defecting to the army. She joins a special military training program, acting as a special adviser to the trainees. Tuesday is indecisive, her only real motivation in the world being the need to be there for her younger sister Wendy. She is also rather insecure, and tries too hard to gain the trust of others, something which causes her to not be trusted by many. However, those who do trust her find her to be very committed to that trust.
