Hello there!
Before I get into the lore of this storybook, I just wanted to acknowledge that a good chunk of the plot was inspired by a conversation I had with @SirenCymbaline, @soundofmind and @Lia5Giba over on Discord.
Here’s a rundown of the storybook and its plot:
☆ Every writer has two characters: the alien sibling and the normal human they chose as their protector/savior/whatever term you feel the most comfortable using!
☆ Before we make any final decisions on the siblings, we’ll do some scheming over in this pad to iron out their dynamics. The goal for the siblings is to make them as realistic as possible - so the oldest sibling will likely be a very different kind of person than the youngest.
☆ Each alien sibling decided to come to Earth after Queen Amule and King Ollow of the Equiribli Empire proclaimed that the first person to conquer it got dibs. This was really a ploy to get people other than their kids to take care of all of the dirty work for them, but their kids didn’t get the memo. The order they come can vary, and will probably be something we iron out in the pad, too.
☆ Our human characters were minding their own business when they came into contact with your alien sibling. Each alien sibling has some special way of interacting with them - though there can definitely be overlap. For example, one sibling might possess an animal, another might be able to interact through a computer, one grants power through jewelry, etc.
☆ Our story will have three sets of enemies, which correspond to three loose arcs. The first, most defined one is when the characters see each other as enemies. The second arc basically goes on until the end of the story - it’s when the attention shifts from fighting each other to fighting the king and queen. The third arc, hinted at from the start and concluding during the middle of the fight against the king and queen are corrupted humans - people who a third enemy have corrupted with their technology to fight against the main cast.
I’ll write up a more defined list of worldbuilding later, but this is the basics of it.
☆ As a last point: feel free to go crazy with your transformations and characters. If you want a girl with pants, give her pants. If you want to write a guy who’s totally down with the traditional magical outfit, give him that. And characters who don’t identify as either a guy or a girl are cool, too. It’s really up to you!
This storybook will be going on for a while, so all I ask is that you stay committed to it. If life happens and you need to take a break or drop out, please let us know. But I fully intend to finish this storybook, and I hope that you’ll be able to stick around to its conclusion.
As of right now, the confirmed cast is just me and @SebiGhoul. The people I tagged in the beginning of this post all have tentative places in the cast, so chances are I’ll only be accepting two more writers until they tell me for sure if they’re joining.
But please tell me if you’re interested so I can let you know if any more spots open up!
