Creating Fiction
As you know I'm always talking about writing and everything but never really show anything. There's been lots of thoughts in my head about the stuff I have. so I'm just going to put all the stuff I have. The stuff I actually have written down, fix it up a bit as I go along, and talk about the ones still in my head. The title is "The End of Martial Arts." So please take a look and give me some feedback on this I've put in a good bit of hours into this entry!
"The End of Martial Arts" Project
Overall plot - A series of events about a African Amercian boy growing up taken in by an Asian family. The boy struggles to be fully accepted, however ends up being the key to keeping friends and family together, even if they are not his own. The story will have a large number of characters and their own stories, but connect to help build the overall story and what role they play. The story will space itself out, to where the characters do get older.
Subplot #0 - Considering this to be the eplogue. This would explain a part of how the main character ends up living with the Asian family. Also find out about what the family is like (Mixed cultured Asian family), and how everyone grows up around the new things put into place.
Subplot #1 - After a few years the main character and one of the daughters from the family develop a friendship deeply bonded, depending and learning from each other. The parents notice and also even give it thought of the two children to be married one day. however the family is attacked at home one night. And that daughter is kidnapped in the process. With that certain event, the family seems to fall apart and turning their backs on each other.
Story Ramblings and Thoughts
That's pretty much all I have right now. I'm not sure how big I want the family to be. The cast I had was of course the main character, the father, mother, two brothers, and two sisters. What I was thinking, sure it was going to be an action adventure, but I want it to be very personal and about who people are, and who they want to be as they grow. I wanted to do the story on heritages, racial, and religous views. The first two are strongly going to be focused on. Religous wise, it's more of the person believing in themselves, pretty much soul searching. The thing about this family is that they are a mixed Asian group. I'll go more into it, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to write out what the characters are like and everything. The first part will be the family but I'll write out what other characters I have in mind to be in the story. There won't be any background on those guys too much except for their description of their jobs.
First off the family.
The father: The father is a Chinese man. He is a house doctor who also makes improtant visits to famous people. This is how he gets his income in a way. However he does disappear after the daughter has been kidnapped. There's a dark shadow casting over him, a lot that isn't know about him really. He once served in the People's Republic of China's army. This could have a lot to deal with the story. (I just looked up a whole bunch of stuff on what he could have been and all. There's lots of stuff so not sure what's up with all I have. I've been reading into china's special forces, what branches they have, all sorts, what happen certain years.)
The mother: Once a famous Japanese pop singer, born in Japan (has partial Chinese descent) I noted to myself that she could have been visiting China on her tour and there ended up being a terrorist act, so she was taken hostage for her Japanese heritage. Could explain how she met her husband; with him being in the military.) For now I have her working from home to take care of the kids. Later on starts to travel the world for bigger jobs. I haven't really fully went into detailed on her yet, I'll be doing more research on that. Should probably make her into an actress or something.
The brothers now. The eldest one I'm going to talk about just a little. Not sure what exactly I wanted from him. But I wanted him to one of the ones to have a good bit of the struggle. He becomes a doctor just like the father. However he's always wanting to overcome him and is very arrogant towards his heritage and tries to throw it all away. He conflicts with the rest of the family a lot, especially after the kidnapping of the sister. The other thing I want to do is have him be a big conflict with the main character. since the main character is totally opposite of him, envying him, on how lucky the guy is to be adopted by his parents and all. Lots of stuff. I really want to touch more on him alot. I was going to base him off of "Monster" the Japanese Doctor Tenma who lived in Germany. The thing different though is he's negative. Just about everything. You know you meet those people in life where they just focus on the negative stuff throughout their whole entire life. I want to change him, and get him to realize what's going on, but I want him to put up a huge fight on how difficult it really is to change. People forget it takes years, but doesn't mean it can't happen and have to brace for impact of what's going to happen.
The younger brother now. This is one interesting character I some how came up with. Not sure where I want to lead this one. But he's becoming very famous as well. He's actually a basketball player. You don't see very many asian basketball players. His personality is quite friendly, maybe too friendly where he gets caught up in things he shouldn't be in. There really isn't anything on him in my head. How I came up with him was that I went to an AND1 streetbasketball event. I got tickets to watch these guys play. They're pretty much the modern Harlem Globetrotters. I have this look for him, a guy not really trying to break away, but more likely to fit in. This star basketball player with a natural talent of leadership. I'm no sure what I want to do with him or why he's even in it. It kills me so much because I've been thinking about all sorts of stuff. But I think this is just to throw out the character idea here.
Okay eldest sister. She's pretty much the first accept the main character fully. The kind of girl that parents want, always hard working, helping others in need. I haven't devloped why she would fall for the main character. But This is the one that gets kidnapped. What I want to do with this character is create a huge massive problem. It'll take years to search for her. But with those years gone by, lots of things change. She changes and I'm not sure if it's for the better or for worse. I don't want to give away her just yet. I have a lot planned, or at least have some events I want to happen to her that'll rock the whole story. Her and the main character will meet perhaps in the middle of the story arc. And things change, even to where the main character is rocked by all the stuff that goes o on from then. So basically she has a big impact on everything. Been doing a lot of research on kidnapping
The younger sister. She's the one who is not affected by the kidnapping, since she was really young. She does remeber bits in peieces. But she helps move the story along that helps the main character finally decide what he wants to do in life. The younger sister loves the main character a lot. More of the brother always being there. She's probably going to be the normal one, but will end up getting caught up in a lot of the stuff. Still there isn't anything else on her just yet. But I wanted a normal family member really.
Out of all of this, I haven't even really touched on the main character. The thing that stops me is that anytime I come up with a main character of course they have to be based off me. Probably because I always wanted to be in a role where I change the world in a way. So that's hindering me a lot, because I don't know exactly what I want from him. I always like basing characters off me . Probably because it makes the story more personal oh and I like girls @_@ lol (FIGURES). However I need to figure out things about his past, and how he ends up ding what he's doing. The title I'm also having a tough time with it. I know I haven't talked about any martial arts of any but it's going to be in there, and the main character one other person she reminds me off is Ryu from the Street fighter games. Ryu always traveling to get better, and to find the strongest. So that helps a bit, butI think that's it for now, I've spent the past 2 to 3 days typing and getting it ready for this. It's a lot to take in I know @_@ but thanks for reading all of it.
