[Anthony Thomas]
11:52pm
howdy
what's up?

[youngblood]
11:53pm
so let's tak about this story

[Anthony Thomas]
11:54pm
okie, fire away. You want to rework the whole plot line? I think the Vampire coven embroiled in a war is pretty good

[youngblood]
11:56pm
pretty much. I do want to keep the coven in. Over all there is a coucil, whiich is made up of the heads of the species in the world

[Anthony Thomas]
11:58pm
right, the Triage correct?

[youngblood]
11:59pm
up!

[Anthony Thomas]
12:00am
hmmm, ok. So are we going to work with the same story line completely or rework it?

[youngblood]
12:01am
I just realized I have to go to work, but I should be back on around sixish. AS for the plot, just rework it.

[Anthony Thomas]
12:02am
okie. I have to leave in 20min....i'll be back really late tonight so i'll wait for you to start hashing out the story line (sorry i feel like i'd be intruding if i went ahead an did it)

[youngblood]
12:03am
it's all cool. I'd like it if you thought about it and tell me your thoughts thou. What you like and don;t like and so on. WE'll see what we get from that.

[Anthony Thomas]
12:03am
okie. I'll compile it in an email and send it to you on ET

[youngblood]
12:05am
kk, would you like me to do the same or just tell you about it later?

[Anthony Thomas]
12:05am
hmmm, prolly collaborate when we both have some time. I'll be on an off till around monday afternoon. Till then though i can shoot emails back an forth

[youngblood]
12:06am
kk.





[youngblood]
5:07pm
hellos
[Anthony Thomas]
5:07pm
merry Chirstmas
[youngblood]
5:08pm
you too! So i have no idea were we left off. lol
[Anthony Thomas]
5:09pm
i think we where picking away at the plot. last i recall you'd sent me the old one an i think we chose to work off that
[youngblood]
5:11pm
okay, let me see if i can go track down the messages. oh, and have you made any thoughs or ideas about it since we last talked?
[Anthony Thomas]
5:11pm
lol no, i think i sent you the last message reguarding the plot line
[youngblood]
5:12pm
kk,
found them. do you want me to send you the convo as a whole message on face book so we can reread what we were talking about
[Anthony Thomas]
5:14pm
just the most recent bits like the last three or so
[youngblood]
5:17pm
sent it
[Anthony Thomas]
5:19pm
ahh ok, yes. This looks fun. so where to go from here?
[youngblood]
5:20pm
give me a sec to reread it all then i'll get back to you. ^-^
[Anthony Thomas]
5:20pm
okie day
[youngblood]
5:23pm
okay, to start out with the war is between the different "morphed" species for power
[Anthony Thomas]
5:24pm
right, so maybe start with a precurser chapter as to what started the war? I was thinking it could have something to do with the fact the pureblood males are sterile
[youngblood]
5:26pm
can you expand that idea? do you mean that the war has something to do with it?
[Anthony Thomas]
5:28pm
or was maybe perhaps inadvertently started by it. Like maybe one of the women picks as a mate a male from one of the more stable morphed clans. Stable to the point where at first they don't know he's unstable or for that matter more than human. He turns, kills her and the Purebloods declare war on the morph clan. The leader of the group then draws in others because he weilds that kind of power and influence, thus you get a domino effect that leads to the war
[youngblood]
5:30pm
hmmm. How about that the last Queen pick a mate that abused the power given to him causing an uproar among the morphed due to the balance of power. so now there is a war going on between the morphed clans of who will marry the next heir.
[Anthony Thomas]
5:32pm
or he was particularly antagonistic towards a specific type of morphed/elemental and many of those not of the royal family are at a breaking point which has led to the war?
[youngblood]
5:33pm
okay i like that better
so we need to decide what species the ing was and what group he antagonizied
[Anthony Thomas]
5:35pm
Hmmm, well are there beings from fantasy or just those found in real life?
[youngblood]
5:36pm
fantasy. there r vampire, werewolves, exc
[Anthony Thomas]
5:37pm
ah ok, so normally one would think i'd be a pissy were-wolf who was perhaps born the runt of a large litter (basically a major napolean complex) so there's that or perhaps a normally more subdued critter whose come into to much power and likes it to much
[youngblood]
5:38pm
i'd prefer the sub critter. That way when he's described (Hes dead by the way as the stpry takes place.) we can start out with him as a likable chracter but show how he became deformed because of the power
[Anthony Thomas]
5:39pm
sounds good
now which critter to chose
[youngblood]
5:39pm
let me look at my list of creatures and pick a few for us to decide on
[Anthony Thomas]
5:40pm
okie
[youngblood]
5:42pm
siren, pheonix, dryad, Leparchaun, Kelpie Roane,
[Anthony Thomas]
5:43pm
Kelpie Roane?
[youngblood]
5:43pm
they're two different creatures.
roane, is a seal that when it sheds it skin it can become human, but it needs to keep it's skin safe becuase to become a seal again needs to put the same skin back in
Kelpie is a water creature that lives in lkes and rivers and takes the shape of a horse. when a traveler stops near the water it may mount the horse who will then drag it into the water and kill the rider by drowning. it doesn't usually take a human shape, but we can twiati it to were it does
twiati= twist
[Anthony Thomas]
5:47pm
hmmm, how about a Dyriad, or would that be to obvious as to the culprit?
[youngblood]
5:48pm
how would it be obvious?
[Anthony Thomas]
5:48pm
Dryiads are some what sinister, and as to causing a war well there's bond to be reasons behind that which actually might be fun to explore
[youngblood]
5:49pm
then i'd like to stay away from that. I want our character to be conflicted with her father as she tries to fix mess he has created
[Anthony Thomas]
5:50pm
Maybe he knew something the others didn't and in his effort to achieve his ends he starts the war by accident and then she finds his diary during one of many battles which explains what he was trying to do and brings things into prespective?
[youngblood]
5:53pm
=what type of thing would he know be the issue? If he used his power negatively on another species what could have he known that would have made him do so?
[Anthony Thomas]
5:54pm
something that he could use the struggle between the others to achieve, or distract one faction long enough to retrieve what he was looking for
[youngblood]
5:57pm
so your saying he does one major attack because he wants something (could be infomation, an items or some goal).
that one attack could be what seet the war off
seet=set
[Anthony Thomas]
5:58pm
more like pits two or three factions against one in order to gain that information and the resulting others aligning with those they have alliances with is what sets the war off
[youngblood]
5:59pm
so your saying we make come up with one thing a few fractions want, but everyone gets sucked in due to alliances.
[Anthony Thomas]
6:00pm
No something the King wants, but is led to believe causing this tinder box to ignite is the only way to get it. He goes ahead with it and it spirals out of control, claiming him in the process and achieving whoever manipulated him into this goals
[youngblood]
6:04pm
i like the idea of taking the king as a a tinder box to the problem. i think we just need to decide what it is he was after or wanted or why he attack that species
[Anthony Thomas]
6:05pm
okie so we have the king. Who is after something that he thinks is being kept by one of the other species.
now what should that be? a grimoire?
[youngblood]
6:05pm
well did we agree it should be a dryiad
[Anthony Thomas]
6:05pm
if you're good with it. I'm open to anything
[youngblood]
6:07pm
hmmmmm, lets stick with the dryida then
[Anthony Thomas]
6:08pm
ok. now what is it that he is after?
[youngblood]
6:08pm
hmmmm, a grimoire is very cliche i'd like to come up with something different
[Anthony Thomas]
6:09pm
true, hmm
[youngblood]
6:10pm
okay so a dryiad likes nature and a is a scholar
[Anthony Thomas]
6:10pm
right, so maybe he was after something in the library sitting in the middle of someone's turf?
[youngblood]
6:12pm
lets see i library leads to books, but i was thinking what is it was a picture on the wall of a library. Like a hiden objct, such as a a specia tree or something
[Anthony Thomas]
6:12pm
sounds good
hey my grandpa showed up randomly.
ill b back later on
[youngblood]
6:16pm
kk


December 25
[youngblood]
8:54pm
hellos
[Anthony Thomas]
8:54pm
hey whats up?
[youngblood]
8:55pm
nothing much, just working on all my little projects. Byt the way what do you think of the think of the name Katryna?
[Anthony Thomas]
8:56pm
i like it
[youngblood]
8:57pm
yay! then can we name the protagoinst that?
[Anthony Thomas]
8:57pm
lol here ya on the projects, got me some monies so i can actually start buying the stuff for them
sure sounds good
[youngblood]
8:57pm
yay! then how about isabella for her mom
[Anthony Thomas]
8:57pm
cool
[youngblood]
8:58pm
awesomeness
so we left off coming up with the reason the king attacked a library What creatures would have a library like that?
i was thinking dragons or mages
[Anthony Thomas]
9:00pm
Dragons, mages (though a mage is anyone with magic potential) Vampires would if they where old enough and established enough
[youngblood]
9:01pm
hmmmm, I never considered vampires. i wonder which would be better dragon or vampire
[Anthony Thomas]
9:02pm
Dragons since normally they are older and live longer
[youngblood]
9:03pm
I agree, plus i have plans for those vampires.
[Anthony Thomas]
9:03pm
can't wait to see em
[youngblood]
9:03pm
okay, we need a name for the king
muhaaa you should be
[Anthony Thomas]
9:04pm
well hmm, idk what nationality is he?
[youngblood]
9:05pm
hmm, I'm thinkning irish or scottish
[Anthony Thomas]
9:05pm
ok, and is he old (as in immortal been around for ages) or realatively young?
[youngblood]
9:06pm
i think he should be older so it gives him more time to turn rotten. I'd say if he a druid he died possible around 15 hundred
how's griffin?
[Anthony Thomas]
9:08pm
alirght so that puts his name some where in the Celtic realm. hmmm any thing you know of mean Twisted visage or convulted mind?
Griffin? that would work
[youngblood]
9:08pm
coolio
okay so the prologue/ inro before the actual story states I'd like to indroduce to most of the players in Katryna's life
bye the way her mom was a vampire
[youngblood]
9:16pm
okay so she has two brothers: one vamp and the other i wasn;t sure i should have as a vamp too or something else
[Anthony Thomas]
9:18pm
maybe something else to lend to the intrigue? or should it be kept simple?
[youngblood]
9:21pm
actually lets keep them both vamps so then they can have issues between the leader of the vampires between them. Although, one doesn;t want to be the leader of the vampires the other one still feels threatened
[Anthony Thomas]
9:21pm
sounds good
[youngblood]
9:21pm
now we need names
i'd like the lazy, black sheep of the family to be daniel
but the otherone i'm unsure about
[Anthony Thomas]
9:22pm
Isaac?
[youngblood]
9:22pm
nah, i don;t like that. keep throwing them at me
[Anthony Thomas]
9:23pm
Well something normal or a more exotic name?
[youngblood]
9:23pm
something that sounds uptight
[Anthony Thomas]
9:24pm
Asher, Ikar, Gordon
Steph-on
[youngblood]
9:25pm
Stephen is a closer to what i want. have any more, if not we can stick with that
opps, stephon
[Anthony Thomas]
9:27pm
Yarrik, Boris, Torrance
[youngblood]
9:27pm
lets stay with Stephen, but their uncle, their mother's brother, can be named Borris.
[Anthony Thomas]
9:27pm
ok
[youngblood]
9:29pm
okay so when little Katryna is sent off with Daniel and Stephen's closes warrior. we need a name for him
[Anthony Thomas]
9:30pm
Jarred, Michael, Sammuel
[youngblood]
9:31pm
so this time i'm going to thow names at u
^-^
[Anthony Thomas]
9:31pm
lol ok
[youngblood]
9:31pm
Caleb, Avery, Dante, Brody, Chase & Sebastion
Austen, Tyler, Charles
[Anthony Thomas]
9:33pm
Dante, Sebastian and Charles. Makes them sound like a right hand man with a secret side
[youngblood]
9:33pm
I like Dante & Charles best. Out of the two which do you like
[Anthony Thomas]
9:34pm
Dante is alittle to cliche so Charles
[youngblood]
9:34pm
kk
okay now we need three names for the people of her life. There are two brothers who hate each other, but both care for Katryna in a romantic way
and a spineless man
[Anthony Thomas]
9:38pm
hmm, alright (gonna need a directory of who is who...i'm little good with keeping track of names) For the spineless one i almost want to just call him Grima haha
[youngblood]
9:38pm
lol, I actually have a program were I'm keeping track of it all, if want I
l'll put all the info into a wiki when we're finished for the night
okay, the spineless guy is an underling for one of the brothers
[Anthony Thomas]
9:39pm
sorry my comp wigged out
[youngblood]
9:39pm
it's cool
[Anthony Thomas]
9:40pm
ok ya the wiki will help. Hmm, so if he's an underling then he's probably resentful but doesn't have the pair to do anything
[youngblood]
9:40pm
Pretty much, and he's from England if that helps
or Germany have't decided
[Anthony Thomas]
9:41pm
for the brothers: Percy, Reginald, Henry, Archibald (stupid i know...could go for the stuck up dude though lol)
[youngblood]
9:42pm
nooo! ahhhh
[Anthony Thomas]
9:42pm

[youngblood]
9:45pm

9:48pm
Jason
[youngblood]
9:48pm
kk
Jason it is
by the way all of these men are friends with her brother and were there for her, being kat, as she grew up as a child. The was her brothers, the wimp, the other pair of brothers, and a guy(I'm making the villian) who has a black and white way of looking at the world
so we need the brothers and the villian. By the way Kat ends up with one of brothers at the end of the story
[Anthony Thomas]
9:52pm
lol okie dokie so where to start?
[youngblood]
9:53pm
i'd say let's finishe giving out the names

[Anthony Thomas]
9:54pm

[youngblood]
9:56pm
let's start with the brothers
[Anthony Thomas]
9:57pm
ok
Personality types?
[youngblood]
9:57pm
I can;t decide if they should be from russia or ireland
personalities:
They are very similiar in that they are stubborn and pridefull; however, one is more of a leader than the other and is more strategical. While the other is ambitious and careless
[Anthony Thomas]
9:59pm
Dimitri, Jullian, Markus
[youngblood]
9:59pm
I was thinking of Dimitri, but i just can't decide which i like better Scotland or Russia
[Anthony Thomas]
10:00pm
hmmm, well i'd go with Russian but that's personal preferance
[youngblood]
10:01pm
well Dimitri can o both ways so we'll keep it for the more strategical one
[Anthony Thomas]
10:02pm
ok, and then the abitious careless one; Alexander, Nathan
[youngblood]
10:02pm
actually let's go with Russia, i always go with ?Ireland and scotland so i'll be fun to try something new
[Anthony Thomas]
10:03pm
ok, well Alexander would work for russian, how about Vladamir, Sarjevo, Carstin
[youngblood]
10:05pm
no, i don;t like it
[Anthony Thomas]
10:08pm
i'm not to familiar with Russian names
[youngblood]
10:08pm
i'll google it. For now lets go to the next guy then.
He's from the america times of the wild west
[Anthony Thomas]
10:10pm

[Anthony Thomas]
10:28pm
back
[youngblood]
10:28pm
kk
so we just need one more name for the villian. He isn't realy a bad man, but just has his ideas twisted. I'd say he's similar to kat's father
[Anthony Thomas]
10:30pm
so often good intentions but for the wrong reasons kind of dude?
[youngblood]
10:30pm
yup
[Anthony Thomas]
10:31pm
Nathan, Anton, Timothy
[youngblood]
10:31pm
keep anton in mind, but keep naming names
[Anthony Thomas]
10:32pm
for the villian is this the guy from the wild west era?
[youngblood]
10:33pm
yes, but i think i', going to change that. It's starting to not sound like i wanted it to
hmmmm were should he be from them
[Anthony Thomas]
10:34pm
Well is he realatively obscure or well known?
[youngblood]
10:35pm
a bit of both. He's name is known, but of for and why is a bit hazzy in the book
as person he's unknown bt form our little group
[Anthony Thomas]
10:37pm
Kaiden, Ethan, Morgan
[youngblood]
10:37pm

[Anthony Thomas]
10:38pm
