kapewpew.

I am writing a story currently and it is NOT DOTA RELATED, that said. I wouldn't mind some peoples input as to what they would like from the main character.

That said, the need to knows about the story are.

it is set about 50 years into the future.
there are fantasy elements.
it doesn't necessarily take place on earth.


What I want to know....

how old is he?
does he have some insane ability (and what is it?)
general physical characteristics.
anything else you want to tell me about him.

Feel free to help me or ask for help yourself on your own projects.

Please do not use quick reply, instead post a reply and change the title to the persons name that you are helping or your own name (if requesting help)
there is an example below.

How about some sorta fictional fat kid. they are easy to write about always getting picked on.

Or we could do somthing about some kid with a unique ability to blow shit up with his mind. like his power would be to have crazy thoughts and then become a reailty... thatd be hard to write about ><. hmmm

Poon

Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 10:48 am

Poon is a playful child.. he has only one dress equipped with mini-computers/receptors that changes the texture or color depending on the mood or the interest of the user.. His interests are playing skateboard in the moon, Playing DotA Hologram and swimming on Neptune.. He doesn't have to study since the knowledge is stored inside a small memory chip and is inserted into his brain for quick learning.. He currently lives in Mars because Earth has been polluted... He has several gadgets.. mainly jetpacks which can surpass light's speed with its acceleration ability.. he has his watch which greatly helps his addiction in gaming.. he has a big machine which produces food automatically.. he also has his very own airsoft and paintball equipments, he uses this twice a week when he goes out to the space with his friends to play airsoft or paintball.. he can shapeshift depending on what he swallows.. can not be bigger than his mouth..

He's 18 years old a wanderer or can be a futuristic warrior who has an ability to Multiply the very essence of human being from multiplying the growth rate of his hair to multiplying the healing rate of his wounds.He can transfer the ability to another person but in exchange for using his abilities he takes extreme fatigue on his body which temporarily weakens him for about...Let's say...30 seconds before he can fully use his ability again.

Tagg Arrier (such a random name lol)

Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 10:36 pm

-18 to 22

-decent hand to hand fighter, has great marksmanship with a gun, and he can ultimately manipulate his lifeforce to sprout giant wings and also channel the force into a devastating form of energy that he can put into his punches, shots, etc. however, it is possible for him to use too much of his lifeforce and get into critical condition by either taking up too much energy at once by overusing it or if the lifeforce and/or himself gets damaged too heavily.

-brown hair, muscular but not ripped, tall-ish, no facial hair, hair is medium length, etc

-mediocre at best in school, wise in the ways of the world but not academically, and isnt very showy/arrogant. he doesnt realize his own potential and regularly holds himself back in fights due to previous events in his life, leading to difficulties until he finally breaks out due to an epic and emotional event such as a giant threat to society or the danger someone he loves is in.



PS: the name can definitely change

Medium-tall, long unruly brown hair, aviator glasses, and always wears a red bandana with a black square and a large white 'X' in the middle of the black square. As such, not many people know what his face looks like.

He wouldn't be 'ripper', so no bulging muscles or anything, but they would be iron hard. Again, a sort of deceptivness about him.

His talents would be finding his way around guards/over fences/into places he's not supposed to be without getting noticed, a king of thief persona.

Good hand-to-hand combatant, but he is non confrontational, and would rather decap an 'obstacle' from behind and without being seen if it's necessary.

I think it would be cool if he was very dexterous, always showing some odd tricks to impress or intimidate when he has to.. pulling a knife seemingly out of then air, and similar tricks. As his job, you can maybe have him be an entertainer, like a magician or something that showcases this.

During his job/everyday life, people know him by a different name than his underground type persona, where nobody knows what he looks like.

failed fanfic?
that failed fanfic is still being written, the whole thing was a teaser.
we currently have over 100 doublesided A4 sheets of story...
so double that again (for base novel size) and we get a 200 page story.

best of all it isn't finished.


and no, it is something else.
my own little random side project.
