Thanks Pulsar,
I guess its just a risk that we take when you begin writing. Its inevitable to fall in love with some of the characters you create.
I created a fan-fic character who was Nictus, but kinda wanted to port him to a Non Marvel / Non-NCSoft story for potential use in publications.
So I basically had to uproot him and change his race and pieces of his history. (already a bitter-sweet experience, because im finding that it is affecting his personality)
That being said - I have started writing a manuscript for an eBook. (Its in Scrivener for the Mac - a very nice writing tool for Mac OSX)
Lets you define character sketches, races, planets/scene settings as research.
I've invented a somewhat unique back-story that links vaguely to NCSoft material, but is definitely unique enough that they cannot claim any sort of ownership.
'Inspired by' is what I went for, opposed to 'Derived from'
In my story,
2 Energy based races existed :
One was peaceful and luminescent : because they're species gave off extreme quantities of energy.
The other gave off energy that changed matter to anti-matter - so they are I guess you could say 'dark'.
this species also fed on life energy, I would picture them as animalistic in apperance: Imagine Venom from Spiderman, sharp teeth and tar like appearance, capable of shape shifting.
The peaceful race coexisted with the hostile race, save for a few skirmishes around borders of territory. The numbers of both race kept a balance.
However other space faring races harvested the first race for fuel and energy : which disrupted the balance of power in their sector.
This then meant that the second race out numbered the first, which then led to the extinction of the first race.
The space faring race, then turned their attention to the dark race, who with the right catalyst, could generate similar quantities of energy/fuel as the first race.
The space faring race would then employ hunters (bounty hunters) to hunt for members of either race - for their commodity value. (fuel/energy potential)
My story involves a human who becomes infested by a member of the latter species.
Imagine a Venom redemption story. (I say Venom here, because I envision the creature in its unbound form, being like a Tar like creature with Animal like qualities.)
At first the human is somewhat feral after being infested by the creature in the Viking/Norse Era, but over hundreds of years and after taming the 'beast' he comes to be somewhat reasonably good at fitting into society.
Eventually the focal point of the story will involve extraterrestrial hunters finding him on Earth in Modern Day New York.
The story will focus much on his personality as his perception of humans changes from food to 'more than food'.
I would love for this Ebook to have illustrations and artwork, but at the moment I don't have the time/energy to devote to that as well.
