A New Idea
A New Idea11 Years AgoI know we didn’t get many places with the first plot/story
idea, but I was (not) sleeping last night, and another idea dawned on me, that
would sort of tie in all of our writing styles, without much real effort. :3
Time Period: Middle
Ages; Possibly Some Technology
Main Character(s):
- Akiya (even if it’s the only one I get to name, I want
to keep hers)
A hunter’s daughter, living under
the rule of Kizaemon’s father (King) in a very impoverished area of town, Akiya
is a bit of a peace-seeker. She despises the King’s entire way of living
(lavish and flagrant) but she doesn’t wish ill on him (unlike the majority of
the people).
- Kizaemon A prince only by blood, Kizaemon
is entirely clueless on how to run a kingdom properly. He’s never set foot on
the soil outside of the royal courtyard, and has only a few times floated above
the ground on the shoulders of his ever-so(not)-loyal servants. Kizaemon is in
line for the crown, when his father falls ill, and the town is ready to
overthrow them by any means.
- Crimson (def. need to change her name, but same
personality)
The rebel’s daughter, or, the
daughter rebel, Crimson is not one to be trifled with. She’s Akiya’s old
friend, and the new enemy of the state. If Crimson gets her way, she’ll be
crowned princess. Her father, a very important scholar, is the leader of the
rebellion.
- Amirah
Crimson’s younger sister, Amirah,
is a very timid girl, from the outside. She has dreams of getting out of Dodge
(figuratively) and making something out of herself. She wants to be a huntress,
practicing by candle light when her family slumbers. Amirah is against the
rebellion, only because she knows her father and sister will make horrible rulers.
The Dilemma:
It’s a race for the throne. With the rebellion nearly
boiling over, it’s only a matter of time before someone gets crowned. Kizaemon
is in danger of death, Crimson is in the running for princess, Akiya tries to
remain neutral, and Amirah keeps her eye on her targets. They’ll either have to
work together, or be pitted against each either. There are sides, and everyone
has to choose one. --- It's a really basic idea, but I think we could spin it so that it doesn't get boring for anyone. Romance, action, drama, etc. Let me know what you think. ^_^ |

Re: A New Idea11 Years AgoAt this point I'm open for any idea. I'm not a Middle-Ages type person but I wouldn't mind working on this. I think we should go for it. Time is ticking :)

Re: A New Idea11 Years AgoI'm okay and comfortable with the middle-ages thing and in fact can offer quite a bit of help. Question though... are we going to do one that features a quest and an epic battle at the end or something else... possible more unique?
Also, can't help but see the similarity between the name for Amirah and Amrah... just sayin' xD |

Re: A New Idea11 Years Ago<< She was the inspiration for the character, actually. They both mean the same thing, it's just an added 'i' to make it not-so-entirely-obvious.
I was thinking that possibly a more unique ending, maybe someone dies who totally wasn't supposed to; or a cliffhanger, nobody said we had to finish it, after all. |
