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.
Well with any character there has to be a driving force that moves a character on these travels. A lot of time there is the hero’s travel which is started by the death of family or ones who look after the character. Someone or something could be taken. There’s a lot of different ways that could lead to this character to head off. You just need to find a reason that makes sense and works for the story.
This reminds me of Tsubasa XD
I’ve had this idea since I was in 8th grade. In its later years, I’ve been hugely inspired by Tsubasa Chronicle! Someday, I hope to have this series of stories completely written (published would be neat, too).
i think the whole, i don’t get close to people wah wah is cliche, it would be more interesting if she actually was close to her parents/friends
To her parents: “Oh, by the way, I’ll be traveling between dimensions for the next year or so… uh, try the cell.”
I may end up trying to go this route, although it’s a lot harder to write.
first comment: having him fulfill a gap left from the loss of her parents or something else is bad. As much as i know you want to show the connection they both are lacking and need, i want to point out that the comment there is you’re saying (to some people) that she needs a man to make her complete, to fix her – but you want people to read that she fixed herself and can survive on her own, but he is this connection to her soul that makes her more than just the person she is…hmmm, i’ll have to ponder this more when I have more time…
later, babe!
