Happy Easter. Now onto business. · 11:28am Apr 28th, 2019
Does anyone actually know what the soul of the original was? Cause I certainly can't remember.
...
What? You want something else? That was all I had to ask.
...Okay, I guess I have SOMETHING to say; regarding Souls's Rebirth's progress.
I'm guessing now you're suspecting there was a second reasoning to the title. If not, well, now you are. Of course, I am not able to fashion an intrigue out of that theme. So I need to find a secondary intrigue that I find interesting enough to bother with, that can make moving the story forward easier on me as well as being fitting with what I've done so far.
One notable thing about old people is how they live in the past. Acheron and Luna are old, so I need to make said intrigue around the past and the present repeating themselves. So I'm figuring I should create some OCs for Luna to have a greater presence, and to have Abe and Vlad be similar to some of the people Acheron now has surrounding him. But at the same time, I want to do that, but I also don't want to make it too identical, like the way Naruto made history repeating itself as literally as it did. It's all about a balance.
As for what I do want to do myself regarding this little tale, I am now supposed to stop focusing on Necky's past and focus on the future instead. That's easy enough. What's difficult is to make his taking it one step at a time interesting to read about. So, any ideas? The easy solution would be to introduce a villain to shake things up, the way Chrysalis did. BUt maybe someone reading this might have a more interesting idea?
In either case, I was thinking of using my attempt at the DMC contest I announced in the past as a means of practicing a more straightforward, step-by-step, simple story. Just gotta figure out how to give it some kind of je ne sais quoi.
I would recommend having him meet his personal lawyer, for the purpose of future cases of violence or damages. so you could write the lawyer like a villain or like a jafaar like character to help incorporate some morbid comedy between the two or something like this, just to spitball.
