Dark Temptation... OOC Thread

[Wolf Vixen]

I like your thoughts Shy and if my brain wasn't on vacation right now I might be able to come up with a few ideas to munch on as well. Maybe next week I will be back to my 'ideas floating around in my head' person but right now I am lucky if I can think clear enough to follow along *winks*

Oh and Shy...take your time dear, we are in no rush....are we guys and gals?

 

[ShyMystica]

Post is up. Not my best work, but my brain is screaming in pain at the moment, and the post, though not well written, still seems to be enough to serve the purpose I wanted to show in the story. I just didn't want to hold you all up. If you want things changed, let me know.

*hugs tightly*

PS: Enjoy your holiday weekend Ezra! Sorry, I forgot to say that earlier. And shhhhhhhhh...I thought we discussed this, no more flattery for me! *shakes her finger at Ezra*

I know that my opinion on the vampire side of the organisation really isn't relevant, as, well, I am not involved. But the story writer in me is dying to speak up. If you hate the idea, just dismiss it, it really isn't that important.

But as it stands it seems very separated, the only link being John. And the story writer in me is screaming to tie it together a little more neatly.

In my mind, and unbeknown to them all I think the child should play a bigger part than just a status symbol. Well, maybe Alejandro knows, which could be an added reason why he wants the child in the first place, or it could just be a happy accident. In my mind I see the boy child (I am presuming it is a boy) as quite the silent type, doesn't speak, doesn't really react to much at all. In looks he is a child, but by all other means he is not. I don't see any of the vampires ever really reacting with him except to give him offerings to feed. But in my head I also have the idea of what effect it would have to feed off such an old, pure souled vampire. As a special kind of child perhaps he didn't lose all of his purity when he was turned? And if one was to feed (which hasn't happened since he was turned), perhaps it could have astronomical consequences. It could make the vampire intensely stronger, kind of like vampire steroids/crack/heroin all rolled into one. But too much would eventually kill them, which none of them know about since no vampire has ever lived to tell the tale.

I also have this nagging feeling to at least link either Trinity or Elysia to this in some far out way. Something that ties it all together instead of it all relying on John to be the connection. It wouldn't be exposed until much later on, but at least there would be a tie. Perhaps once John is severely punished once Renee finds out his feelings for Trinity (give it time for it to develop more and some sexy fun of course), Renee could threaten/convince Trinity to fight on her side to get the child vampire back. Or perhaps Elysia could be a blood relative of the child, and therefore hold some significance if the above idea is developed further.

These are just my little, insignificant thoughts. Some food for thought, I suppose. I will try and have my post up today.

That is certainly the kind of thinking we need Shy, keep it up.

I agree we need to tie the human and vampire sides of the story more closely together. I am hoping as the story progresses I'll be able to acheive that. Also I am open to any more ideas towards that end.

As for the kiddo, I've been wracking my brain to involve him more, and I have an idea on how to handle him, and have just come up with an idea to use him for allejandro's endgame.

Awwww Veroe, it isn't just up to you to tie everything together. I think you are putting too much pressure on yourself, as that is a huge task to do. Remember we are all here to help. So run ideas with me if you want, usually my mind is in a creative frenzy, just not tonight lol. We are all in this together, so don't put too much pressure on yourself, ok? *hugs gently*

 

[Wolf Vixen]

Okay guys and gals I agree with Shy, this is a great idea bouncing board. I don't wish anyone to take on the goal of trying to figure it all out and tie it all together. I like ideas from everyone as sometimes you can put them together to make one big great idea.

Anyway, I am headed home from vacation. I will be home tomorrow night and I will get my post in then. That way I can give a little thought to it before I post it up.

 

[Veroe]

Okay full disclosure time...

I haven't worked out all the kinks in the plot, but Allejandro has a source of blood-a girl that is a descendant of the greek god Zeuss, and feeding from her is the source of his boosted strength and speed.

As for the kiddo, I think he needs the closest to untainted unmutated, pure vampire blood he can get for an experiment in making a supervampire from her.

Anyway guys that's the bare bones of Allejandro's objectives, tell me what you think or if you have some ideas for it on your own?

Just out of curiosity, was there a reason why it had to be a Greek god, or Zeus? For me it would make more sense for it stay in the realms of Christianity where vampires first were born (as most myths go). Plus it would also give room for the nun/vampire to grow as Alejandro's second in command since she is so close to that way of life. If you wanted to spread your wings a little, we could find another female writer to play her. Seems the men, though, are coming short

Just a little thought so I could see where your brilliant mind is going

 

[Veroe]

Hmm good point, Shy....But are you suggesting I rip off the Da Vinci Code?

 

[ShyMystica]

Hmm good point, Shy....But are you suggesting I rip off the Da Vinci Code?

Oh hell no! I don't rip off anything I can see how using the Greek mythology would avoid that little problem.

Hmmm...What if it was made simple? Like, the blood of an innocent/pure/ancient vampire (the boy) drunk from the holy grail? At the moment, he has the grail, which he uses to drink all his blood from, which increases his powers slightly. But the boy completes the recipe for the power he really seeks. Would something like that work? Or is it still too much like Da Vinci Code? (I haven't read/seen the movie, so I don't really know what the main plot is) *blushes*

 

[Veroe]

The plot of the Da Vinci Code is that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene knocked boots and the holy grail is their lovechild and the bloodline of Jesus.

I like the idea of the kid and the holy grail though.

So does that idea sit too uncomfortably close to the Da Vinci Code storyline? It could also work as to why he turned the nun. He turned her to find the grail in the first place.

 

[Wolf Vixen]

*giggles profusely at Shy* And here I thought my sleeping pills were making me silly!!

Hmmm staying with the Christian aspect and yet have something old and powerful......to have a blood line to.......hmmmm Well you can go really crazy and say he came from Lucifer or even pick a demon that was powerful.

Just an idea....was trying to think of evil, creating vampire and not giving a rats behind (I guess you could say). Or you can toss it as an idea from a crazy drugged woman right now *giggles again*

See you all tomorrow night, should be back around 6pm EST.

 

[EzraPound]

my take...

Alejandro is using something synthetic to boots his powers, dangerous and will eventually damage him in some way inthe long run..

the Boy is the source of pure vampire blood, he was born vampire,,an natural mutation..but the blood is capable of doing the same thing as the synthetic only better natural and healing and can make you even more powerful with out the side effects....only Alejandro knows this...he was caught attempting to feed, from the boy by Renee ( who, still doesn't realize it wasn't the first time) and this is the betrayal that separated them...unknown to everyone ..Trinity is from the same blood line as the the boy.... the source...
he had a sister..


(ok ..okok.. so now I am ripping off start wars...I didn't mean to really!)

So Trinity is no longer an anti-vampire? How come her blood kills vampires and the boys does not? I'm confused *pouts*...which is pretty easy at the moment because I haven't slept lmao.

 

[Wolf Vixen]

Shy don't feel bad, I am confused too LOL

I was thinking Trinity needed some connection in this because of her powers that either kill or turn them human, but I couldn't figure out how to connect them. Though I am sure after a good sleep tonight I will come up with something.

I am even debating making you guys and gals wait patiently for a few more hours before I post....I don't wish it sounding crappy because I am tired from the drive home.

Maybe I will have some ideas after my sleep tonight and I can contribute more than drugged giggles and confusion.

 

[Veroe]

I think this plot will have three keys: Trinity's blood and the kiddo's blood and how they fit together somehow I just haven't figured out what.

And I have decided to go with Ezra's idea of a synthetic booster-it's less complicated than my idea and frees us of any problems with the offsprings of deities out and about.

 

[Wolf Vixen]

Okay post is up. If anything needs changing let me know.

And on ideas about Kiddo and Trinity being related. Lets see they can still be related but not full blood, like different fathers or mothers type of thing, which is why Trinity isn't a full vampire where the Kiddo is. Or even the idea of twins but where the Kiddo became full vamp, Trinity just gained some powers, maybe Trinity gained some attributes of the vampire (her powers, aging slower, speed but not as fast as a vamp, strength, etc etc....but not as much as a vamp would have) but she is lacking in the blood lust.

Whatcha think?

 

[Veroe]

I was thinking that evolutionarily speaking Trinity was unique, one of a kind, not vampire, not human, other...was I wrong?

The kiddo is going to be old like from the stone ages drinking Fred Flintstone's blood old.

Oh And I'm planning on really making him powerful both physically and in the area of compulsion-all the other characters have to exert their will to get someone to do what they want-not so with the kid he doesn't have to do anything and you do what he wants. But the catch is he's really apathetic about the outside world now. All he wants is to sit in front of the TV watch Barney or Sesame street and play with his legos all day-to recapture the magic and innocence of the youth barred to him for millennia.

I think his blood mixed with Trinity's will be something new, revolutionary...I just haven't figured out what yet.

 

[Wolf Vixen]

Well never truly had an idea on Trinity just that power to 'spot' a vampire, call to them with her voice and her blood can either kill them or change them to human. I am up for any ideas

 

[EzraPound]

I have always thought of Trinity as unique,as for her being human ..I think that is up for debate..but I have never thought of her as Vampire..more of a mutation by human evolution to deal with the vampire threat..I also wanted there to be some conection with John , as in thier powers some how augment each others .. I do like the idea of there being some connection between her and the kid..maybe we let the story tell us what it is.

I also like the idea that Trinity may not be fully aware of the extent or even some aspects of her power, maybe she can do things she is not aware of yet...after all she is self taught..

 

[Daydream_weaver]

I feel like a little kid sitting and listening to the bigger kids talk. *laughs* I've kept quiet because I'd not be contributing much beyond 'oooh I like that...ooooh I like that too!"

Veroe, your idea for the kid is chilling. Such an ancient that he could probably destroy the whole vampire race with barely a thought, and yet he just doesn't care about anything. I also like the idea of Trinity not knowing just what she is capable of yet.

Is it almost time for John to face Renee's displeasure so he can be gone before Allejandro attacks? Or was he going to still be there when it happens?

 

[Veroe]

Yeah about time but I don't want to rush you and Ezra. I'll wait until you two are done.

What should be the kid's name guys...something ancient, primitive...I haven't figured that out...so I'm instituting something of a contest: Anyone who submits a name gets a and the winner gets a

*shrugs shyly and sits back*

I shall let you all work it out as it seems it is becoming a rather delicate web between you all that I don't wish to interfere in or corrupt the process of ideas. Elysia, really, isn't involved...she is more of a pawn or food or plaything. So, I shall sit back and watch the show

*nibbles on a scone she just baked*

Great post by the way Wolfie

 

[Wolf Vixen]

Thanks Shy. I hope it made sense. I was still a bit out of it when I wrote it.

I will try to PM you today too Shy, I have a few ideas for Elysia I want to try and iron out with you. I want her to be a bit more than a pawn, food, plaything in the thread, but not totally sure what just yet. It is more of a feeling than anything else at this point so I wanted to toss around a few ideas with you.

And any ideas about the so called powers Trinity is unaware of let me know. I am trying to get brain back on the tracks now that I am back to work and everything

Silly girls (Shy, and DW ) both of you have clearly earned a spot at the big kids table...the more input the better it also helps if everyone is invested in the process and feels apart of it...I have been in threads dominated by one writer and ....well...they can lose the spark and surprises that I have enjoyed in this one so far...this one has been a joy from the beginning because it is truly has been a collaborative effort ...


Naming the kid......"Bob"...I am actually serious and here's why..

he would have had many names down throught the ages..after a couple hundred years he would grow board of his name and change it so it's to the point where he doesnt care anymore..so the last time someone asked him ,he, very tongue in cheek said .."Bob"
