Daisuki's Stuff
Posted: Tue May 17, 2011 5:00 am
I think it’s about time I shared some of the stuff I’ve been working on.
So I need some help on my story, guys. I've gotten most of the characters and settings for my story, but I don't have a plot.
My story revolves around a young girl named Bea (pronounced BEY-AH). She’s definitely not the brightest girl you’ll ever meet; some may even say that she’s just acting dangerously stupid on purpose when she really isn’t. But she’s phenomenal with the one thing she enjoys doing the most: killing.
Bea has been trained all her life with nothing but killing by a secret organization of assassins who took her when she was still an infant. Instead of toughening her with hellish training, they decided to improperly educate her about killing instead to see how efficient their training methods will be. The end results were incredible. At the age of 12, Bea became the best killer in the organization, but her morality suffered greatly. She may be incapable of hate, but she believes that killing is a gesture of love and friendship.
One day, she snuck out from home to see the outside world for the first time, unsupervised. She ended up at Sheol City…
And that’s all I got. =/
I wanted to make an action-packed manga with some morbid humor thrown in, but all I could come up with are scenarios where Bea gets in trouble unintentionally, and some random encounters/showdowns with other killers from other organizations.
I recently made another character named Fool (well, he claims that that’s what everyone calls him anyway), but I’m not sure if I should add him in the story or not. He’s supposed to be the first boy Bea met who’s around the same age as hers. Fool quickly realizes how inexperienced Bea is with a lot of stuff so he decided to help her around the city for the time being. Bea decides to tag along and not to kill him for the mean time since he seems “pretty interesting.”
I could have Fool try to educate Bea properly throughout the entire story, but I’m still missing a plot. Having them run away from pursuers just like Kenichi and Tima from Metropolis doesn’t seem to be exciting unless there’s a bigger subplot. And school life like Keiichi and Belldandy from Ah, My Goddess! or Suguru and Mahoro from Mahoromatic is WAY overused.
So, any suggestions? I really need some ideas here.
