The Sisters
I'm just writing this post before I get to bed. I have to be up at 5am tomorrow, for Friday's classes. Oh well. My schedule is still a lot better than last year.
However, apparently the second semester is going to be downright nasty. I won't get any days off at all and I'll have longer days. Ouch! I'm going to enjoy this semester as much as I can, in that case.
In recent days, I've been doing the usual stuff. The new myOtaku logo is pretty much decided on, however, I have to get it set up in the format that we require. So that'll be done on the weekend. We're almost there though, very close now.
Other than that, I've mostly been focusing on school this week, of course. I've squeezed in a few minutes to write some more for my new Matrix RPG. Actually, the research that I did early on was really beneficial. If this thing goes up, you will see evidence of this research if you look hard enough. I'm also being careful to ensure that everything links to the previous movies and that everything has a point/meaning/relevance. It's not easy. I don't think I've ever done anything like this before. It's sort of...90% research, 10% story. Not that I'll be slack on the story (quite the contrary), but the story itself will be heavily supported, which should be good.
I have also been taking a lot of time to simply work out who all the characters will be. There will be "main characters", which members will have to "bid" for. So, members will have to bid for a main character if they want to play as that character...I'm still trying to work out how to set that up.
The point is that each main character will be pre-determined by me. I'll decide their name and their biography. It will be up to the player to flesh them out within the RPG.
There will also be "non-main characters", for lack of a better term, that players can create themselves. But this will be with the understanding that such characters do not play a major role (a central or pivotal role) in the overall story, as the story itself will also be pre-determined, from beginning to end.
I don't want to say too much about it right now, because things will change...and I only have a basic skeleton worked out right now. I can say, however, that there will be plenty of "evil" characters. In particular, the nine sisters. Or, "The Sisters", if you'd want to give them a label. They're going to be cool, but only a few (perhaps three) will actually be main, playable characters. Hopefully I can also design them and show images of them at some point.
For inspiration, I took a look at The Matrix Online, which apparently takes place after Revolutions. However, very little info is out there. My basic idea is somewhat related to The Matrix Online...but only in the most superficial sense. I imagine that what I come up with will be very different to what the developers of the game come up with.
Anyway, other than that, there isn't a lot for me to talk about. Things are going expectedly well at the boards and I'm still exploring my first week of school. I look forward to getting into the swing of things by the weekend, when I know everything about my classes (there are two that I still haven't taken yet, which are tomorrow).
Anyway, I will tell you a bit more about my classes on the weekend. Should be interesting...*snore*
