And if it's also in the same timeline, do we need to account previous chapers for the gatekeeper?

Damn, I was about to make it about an elederly old woman, but 60 is the max age. It all happens in the same universe, preferably in the span of days (next one happens right after Jake failed).

Stairs also change from person to person, but they always look new and undamaged.

The Gatekeeper described in my chapter is no more: that body is dead, and his spirit has now passed into Jake's vacat body to use as a new vessel. But it's the same person.

The Gatekeeper is instrumental to the story: as both the one who explains the gig and collects payment when the gig fails, but also as the first person to try (and fail) climbing the Stairway (which is why he is now forced to stay there)

As for your character: the idea may be good in a way that an older person may have more bad memories, but it creates a trouble with Gatekeeper taking an old and fragile body for his new vessel. Yeah, I gathered as much about the Gatekeeper. And I did stick with the idea of having an older character, though I made her 52 and perserverant as all hell. I think you may like what I've done, as I've pretty much gone with what you just described. may even have the story done tonight, because I am definitely in the zone I eagerly await your post. I have delivered. It is now officially a collaberation. Hope I didn't mess it up too much for ya
