Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 After the SFN the Musical thread, I realized we would be much better in a novel. Sign-ups for characters are here. I cannot guarantee you will be included. Requirements: A character description--What you look like, what you do, if you want to be good or bad, etc. A name. Some people, like YT2095, have a name that wouldn't really fit in a novel. Give me any name you want for your character; it doesn't have to be your real name. Gender! One thing is you must have some sort of personality. I don't want plain old boring people, I want someone with personality. Quirks and such are great. Plot ideas are welcome, but I am formulating the plot already. Your suggestions may, however, be used in the final plotline. Go for it!
ecoli Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I'm reserving a spot!! Unfortunately I have to run out the door now...I'll write my stuff later...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 Also, if anyone would like to help me write it, PM me.
5614 Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 im really no story writer but i can be imagineative! Name: Jonathan (that's my real name) Codename: 5614 (had to throw it in somewhere!) Profession: Computers Use: hacking! Appearance: short brown straight hair, brown eyes Nationality: British Charachter: whatever will fit in... a hacker could be used for good or bad, like in the Italian job (the new one) that kinda hacker is bad but set out in a good way. this is assuming that the story will be some kinda thriller/action. alternatively i could be some kinda physicist, although here with swansont, severian etc maybe not!
5614 Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 i think we need some kinda topic... like if this is a purely romance thing then a hacker is no good... whereas if its a sci-fi chem war in a world lead by quantum phonomenons and biogical enhancements with robots controlled by computer mainframes all us computer/physicists/chemists/biologists could play a suitable part if ya see what i mean!
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 I think it's more going to be like the Bond movies where there's this evil plot to take over the world, and then all of the good people kill the bad guy and save the world.
Tesseract Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I'd like to be in it. Im thinking along the lines of an advanced A.I, kind of like a deus ex machina to save whoever we have as our protagonist, but afterwords turn evil. I think I should keep my name. I should be a backround character like in the musical. As for me personality deeply logical, philosophical, cold, intelligent, and meticulous.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 So you save the good guy's life, then turn evil. Characters I've Picked: Sayonara³: Protagonist and scientist. Me: Another protagonist. Demosthenes: My sidekick. Big and beefy. 5614: Expert help/scientist. YT2095: Mad scientist type person, protagonist. Jakiri: Physicist. Bettina: Assassin. Tesseract: Background character who saves a good guy's life, then turns evil. Zarkov, Adam, and ExtraSense: Stupid protagonists. Pinch Paxton: Evil (not so smart) genius. Lance: Evil goon/zombie. Hit man. I need more bad guys!
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 Can I be the zombie? Evil zombie? Sure.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 Anybody have plot ideas? Want to be included?
5614 Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 5614: Expert help/scientist. that changed a bit from the original hacker... all the same the "expert" part sounds pretty cool, so im fine with that... so long as it really is "expert"!!!!
Bettina Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Geez...the other thread is dead already. I never got a chance to act and I'll bet I would be good too. I want to be in this one please. I would like to be some type of secret assasin. Bettina is my real name and that's my real school picture. Maybe I can kill off Lance. Anyway, two suggestions....... 1] I would suggest a short chapter be published every night so we can have the suspense last a longer time. Then, if need be, you can add to the story as you go along. 2] Don't kill off anyone too early. It will be boring for the dead person. Bettina.....Please don't forget me I'm begging now.....I'll be anyone you want.
ed84c Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 glad to see SFN full of orginal ideas as usual..........:-S
5614 Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 plot ok... now remember this must be compatable with physics!!! so no flashing bullets and all! a) an originally civilised race to build a new technology goes wrong as groups team up in a deadly 'war' against each other and then it turns out the new technology can be used for evil stuff b) with the idea of the new quantum bomb (some new quantum phonomenom) evil groups around the world race physicists to build it first c) as quantum computers become global hackers can crack/hack quicker than ever and the action starts when some bad ass hacker gets into govenment records (needs development for a new improved idea!) i dont know, im just kinda brain storming... pick and mix, edit, play around with... they're just ideas!
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 Geez...the other thread is dead already. I never got a chance to act and I'll bet I would be good too.

Anyway' date=' two suggestions.......1'] I would suggest a short chapter be published every night so we can have the suspense last a longer time. Then, if need be, you can add to the story as you go along. I think what I'll do is finish it all and then post it chapter by chapter, so it can be edited and done properly before it's posted. 2] Don't kill off anyone too early. It will be boring for the dead person.Sure. Bettina.....Please don't forget me I'm begging now.....I'll be anyone you want. Don't worry, I'll get you in somewhere. Assassins can be useful.
Bettina Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 glad to see SFN full of orginal ideas as usual..........:-S I thought you guys were working this together.....Geez
5614 Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I'm begging now.....I'll be anyone you want. after the last one i dont think ya wanna say! feel sorry for ed84c... i think maybe you could still go ahead... cant see how you were gonna do a musical over a forum, you should team up with capn and do this joint.
5614 Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 WOW me, bettina and capn all posted at the same time!!!!!
ed84c Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 so that means musical idea is out of the window? Story of my life
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 ok... now remember this must be compatable with physics!!! Why do you think I put four known psuedoscientists in the mix? So I could make it ridiculous, but with the good guys using real science. so no flashing bullets and all!Agreed, and the psuedoscience I do use will be the stuff that the antagonists (zarkov, adam, ExtraDense) already posted. a) an originally civilised race to build a new technology goes wrong as groups team up in a deadly 'war' against each other and then it turns out the new technology can be used for evil stuff I'm liking this idea... but with some modifications. I'll work on it.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 so that means musical idea is out of the window? Story of my life You can do a musical if you'd like.
ed84c Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 sorry that was posed as a question apposed to a statement.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 I thought you guys were working this together.....Geez I'd be glad to have people helping and contributing if they'd like.
