The names of my characters have changed and I think I’m going to stick with these. Marcus and Julia (nickname Julie) are my two main characters. Both names are of Roman origin. Hopefully, this will emphasise that they are parallel versions of each other.
My new question is how to get Julia to go on an adventure through parallel worlds. She would be leaving her family and friends behind, not really knowing if she’ll ever be back. Julia’s the kind of gal who thinks about all of the consequenses before she jumps into something. As much as she’d love to experience traveling to new worlds, she’s not about to abandon everyone she knows. The only thing I can think of is having something happen to her parents a few years back and have her not really get close to people. That way, she’d be living in a void, needing to find something different to fulfil her. Something that Marcus could help provide.
