Beautiful People

He. Is. Stunning.
Well, this is a tad late, seeing that this list was for May, but regardless, I wanted to make a short post with answers to the questions of the Beautiful People post! It was all about villains this time, and the villain for my story VEILED IN NIGHT is Romulus, leader of the nomadic tribe, the Nazet.

 
1. What is their motive? Revenge against the one who has wronged me and taken from me what is rightfully mine; I want to make his world suffer and take everything away from him. I want to rule his world.
2. What are they prepared to do to get what they want? Anything; murder, torment, kidnapping, spying.
3. Are they evil to the core, or simply misunderstood? I don’t consider myself evil at all, but I don’t like to be wronged and believe wholly in revenge, by whatever means possible.
4. What was their past like? What about their childhood? Was there one defining moment that made them embrace their evil ways? Grew up in the nomadic clan of the Nazet, where my father was the leader of the tribe. The moment that changed everything would be the day that Sault Bigod and her father the warrior priest came into our land. I loved her.
5. Now that they're evil, have they turned their back on everyone, or is there still someone in their life that they care for? (Brother? Daughter? Love interest? Mother? Someone who is just as evil as they are?) My children; Sault also, of course.
6. Do they like hugs? No physical contact.
7. Are they plagued by something? (Nightmares? Terrible thoughts?) Worries that the gods will go against me for fighting Sault’s husband.
8. Who are they more similar to: Gollum or Maleficent? I am my own person.
9. If your villain could have their choice of transportation what would it be? By horseback.
10. If you met your villain in the street, how afraid would you be? Are they evil enough to kill their creator? Scared; Romulus would be angry at me for putting him in the situation that he’s but thrust into.

Have a great weekend!

Sorry Patrick, let's get Politic

Yes, I HAVE started the casting...
If you saw my last post, you know I've been working on a new story (what a surprise); a dystopian set in the somewhat near future. It's told in the point of view of El, or Elisabetta, who happens to be the mother of the leader of this new 'Nation'. El also happens to be a leader of something called Mystic Nation, an exclusive group of people who worked years before Jonathan her son was even conceived to put him in this place of power.

The actual novel is different from other dystopian's because it's not set in the POV of people whose rights have been stripped from them but the government who did the stripping.

Most of the novel is centered upon the personal relationships between El, her son Jonathan, Jonathan's father, Patrick and other members of Mystic Nation. There also is a huge part throughout that I'd like to center upon the time before the US fell and how in the world they were able to get into the officials spots in the first place.

FEAST YOUR EYES UPON PATRICK
Well, I'm glad Patrick and I both really like government in the first place.. If I didn't, this would be a hard job. I mean, trying to come up with a plan for a small band of people to take over the government isn't really the hard put. It's more, uh, how in the world am I going to make this realistic? That's honestly one of my main goals. I couldn't care less about anything else--I just want the darn thing to be realistic. Or as realistic as it can be.

So that's what I'm working on this week. As I said, I am interested in government and El's husband and Jonathan's father, Patrick, is also; therefore, us two are going to work together until we can come up with something that isn't too out there.

Then again, isn't that what fiction is all about?
