I started on a rough draft of a story I plan on writing during summer yesterday and, because I suck at coming up with characters, I wonered if you guys would care to be a few of them? The story (so far(which is a sort of rip-off from Arnold's comic idea  )): Some 100 or so years in the future, the human race is forced to serch for a new home due to the increase in population. Three mighty vessels were built and sent to three different planets. The first two, I haven't thought of any names yet, are each about twice the size of an aircraft carrier, and the third, nicknamed the Titanic 2, is about 4 times as large as an aircraft carrier. The planets the ships are traveling to are of course a long ways away, and the human race has yet to discover a faster way to reach them, so the ships are like minature citys(The main story is of course focused around the Titanic 2.). The trip will take several generations worth of people to reach the planet so they have been built with schools and stuff. Thanks to advancements in technology and science, there is bio-engineering(A place where I planned Bengl being if he agreed), raidos that don't take days to reach Earth(so that everyone can keep in touch with Earth), and some other shit i'll figure out later. I planned on having one story and then a sequel of sorts where the main charaters great grand kid is there when they finally reach the planet. So, what do you say? If yes, just post a description of your character(human please, aliens come in later on) and then we'll work out where you'll work on the ship. Please don't make me beg.  |

This is good, very good.
I don't mind if our stories closely resemble each other, by the way.
You know what would be insane? If we morphed my comic idea with yours both ideas. I completely understand if you don't want to, I'm just throwing that out there.

Can I be some guy who at first you think is really awesome, but then he turns out to be an utter bastard and is responsible for sabotaging the mission, but escapes before he can be aprehended and comes back in the sequels to do more evil?

Arnold: Sure, although I would also like to keep them seperate at the same time. Bengl:  Alex: Sure, I planned on having a villian(as all good storys need one), and you'll make a kick-ass one. I'll post later or tomorrow, i'm too busy with some school stuff at the moment. |

Alright, now that i've got a minute to myself, as soon as I flesh out the skeleton of my story a bit more i'll get back to you guys. But for now,
Arnold: Any ideas on how we could mix the two? And where do you want to continue this discussion? I was thinking that maybe we could combine the two ike how Charles Dickens did in his novel, "A tale of two cities", where he has pictures of several scenes.
Bengl: If you want to be a Tigeren, thats fine by me, but i'll need a bio of either your Tigeren form or human, and i'll have you as one of the leading bio-engineers.
Alex: You character fits in perfectly with what I was planning, with how the main character either gives up his life to save the mission or does something heroic and is looked upon as a great person by everyone esle. Which his great grandson then wants to be like and ends up facing the same villian, you, as his great grandfather did. And like Bengl, a bio would be greatly appreciated.

Bengl is the first in a line of genetically engineered super soldiers, and he's good at what he was made for. But he yearns for the simple life of a baker.

Alright, I came up with a short back-story for your character Bengl, and is it alright if I use that name for him?
Story: You, and several like you, were created during World War 4. Afterwards the other super soldiers were killed due to a "glitch" in their ginetic(sp?) make up that caused them to go nuts and kill several people. You, being the last one to be made, had, in a way, evolved beyond the others and weren't affected by this. Because you life span had been increased your still around by the time the Titanic 2 is sent off and, seeking to fill the part of you that had caused your fellow super soldiers to go mad, you take up the job as a chef. You still have craving for the pleasure of killing someone do that little glitch, but you learned to satisfy it with raw meat.
I also think i'll include the lizard man you drew for me and another I drew a few minutes ago(which looks like shit compared to yours) into the story that also have a similar glitch of sorts. I'll get a backstory on those two later.

I was thinking that maybe we could combine the two ike how Charles Dickens did in his novel, "A tale of two cities", where he has pictures of several scenes. I don't want to mix them anymore. It would make the story too complicated. The revised plot I made of to suit Bengl and Mightysage's drawings makes it complicated enough. I'll post dat shit up soon. The revised plot, that is. I'll help you make a character of me for your story though. I'll post info for my character by tomorrow hopefully. |
