Journal #12- Free Write

-Future Ideas-

At the time being these days, the majority of my focus is at the Hair musical. What I plan to do afterwards is get back to work on my current series with Drake and the gang. Here is what is going to be done once I'm back on track:

-I'm going to resume creating locations and maps, due to the fact that I forgot to record some of the older ones or that I want to improve the idea.
-There will be a storyline structure check, if need be, I'll fix any flaws or mistakes.
-Create a comic based on background information for support.
-Design a final set of weapons and materials to use.
-Lastly, create a few more characters of choice from the traits of people that I know (don't ask, it's something I like to do to make things more interesting by making characters based off of actual people).

When I base characters off of people, I usually aim for ideas upon those who I can contact easier, building an experience from how that character will act. For example: I took my best friend, Chris and I took his traits such as his smarts and his sense of determination to make him into that of a military strategist. Following that, I took his traits of calmness and sharp vengeance (something that is a rare case in him) to create a type of sword that resembles a blade made of water itself.

Now you might be wondering, who would I be? That question lingered around a long time in my mind and it turns out that Drake is the characterization of myself. Originally, Drake was supposed to be the image of my old man, a figure of strength, courage and a sense of justice. The only difference was that Drake isn't too bright, so it can suit my standards as well (chuckles softly). To match that, he has a large appetite to support his multiple strengths which he may have gained or has yet to gain. He is also wielder of a mythical weapon that has existed since the dawn of the world that he lives in, this weapon resembles the power and might of what man can accomplish when they work together. This weapon, however, can only be wielded by those filled with the most courage, those without that courage will not be able to wield it, appearing that its weight will become too much for the weaker-hearted to wield.
I'm not here to put myself in a higher position than everyone else, but here is how I see it. Of all of those who think they're so tough, they live behind a mask and behind those masks are their weaknesses and fears. There are those, however, that do not hide behind those masks and possess the courage to succeed or to emerge victorious, this is where I tend to differ from other people, I don't fear challenge and opposition. So whatever you have to say about this, I am here to listen.
