Any thoughts ( not a story)

Postby Solid Ronin » Tue Oct 21, 2003 4:53 pm

If you people would be so kind to give some feedback to my little plot

Zion : the homeless hero
Zions parents were killed in front of his eyes as the age of six. He was raised in an orphange until 9 when it was burned to the ground by local gangs. In tears Zion ran into the streets rather than be taken by police into another orphange...he lived on the streets for about a week where he saw a Martial arts master save a woman from begin mugged. He followed him into is home where they spoke and the master took him in as his apprentice. 7 years later Zion noticed his master was gone leaving a note behind with some money saying to bring justice to the streets. Which eventally leads him to be homeless.

Well thats it I have more details but dont have time to write them down now. If any of you want more details just say so. Being honest im sure wont be a problem just try not to be a jerk.

Sounds good thus far, perhaps you could add why he did it, and what his goals are.

Well, given that you specifically asked me to look into this, I figure I have to. This is the thread you referred to, correct?

It seems fine. It also seems a lot like Batman. What would really make this idea unique is what happens after the story begins. You could go a number of directions with this, many of them good. In your initial post, you said you had more details... what are they?

Have you started writing this story? I'm curious.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

This story is the intro. of Seth I wont tell you much about him now just read the story if its your will

Seth
Age: 26
Height: 5'10
Weight: 265

On the roof of a buildings Zion in counters a Man waiting for him

Seth: Zion isn't it?

Zion: Who are you? What do you want?

Seth: Seth is my name, I am a student of Master Long

Zion: Tae kwon do....that is your art right?

Seth: Yes....now show me??

Zion: What???

Seth: Show me what Master Lee has taught you or are you to afraid to fi..

Zion dashes toward Seth with utmost speed and deliverers a left jab headed for Seth's face however he blocks with ease Zion then goes for a right elbow with the same target and with the same results. Seeing fist aren't working well Zion trys a Double lift kick with his right foot making contact with Seth's rib.The left foot was aimed at his head but quickly evaded by simply pulling his head back.Zion goes for some more fancy footwork with a high spinning left roundhouse ,Seth ducks under the blow, using this momentum build by his roundhouse kick Zion uses the same move but with his right foot.Seth's blocks the kick and pushes the leg back putting.

Zion gets into a fighting stance.Seth goes on the offensive with a middle right roundhouse kick , Zion blocks, Seth ,while his foot is still in air, try to go for Zions head by bending his knees back and launching the attack . Zion counter by catching the Seth's leg then rolls under it and emerges from the other side ,while still holding Seth's leg,and kicks the back of Seth's knee causing him to fall..Zion backs away and maintains an alert stance...Seth picks himself up....

Seth: Much better than I thought...huff..huff...now allow me to take it up a notch...

Seth runs toward Zion as Zion raises his fist higher Seth duck very close to Zion and as low to the ground as he can get then gives Zion a kick to the chin .Zion is lifted off the ground but manages to land on his feet. Seth springs to his feet and executes a a high right side kick Zion blocks. Realizing he must end this quick , Zion counters with two jabs to Seth's face than a right jab to Seth's left peck and a left jab for the right and a hard ear slap Zion goes for a Palm thrust to the chest.

However Seth catches the blow at the wrist and moves it a side while doing this Seth cuts across Zion left cheek with a back fist Zion is stunned and Seth waste no time using a a middle front right kick to Zion gut taking the air right out of the hero. Seth finishes it with a right side kick to Zions face...Zion falls knock out...Seth walk over to Zion and tosses a piece of paper on his body

Seth: Heres to a new ally

Joesph: ZION!!!..*jumps over to the roof top to Zion*

Zion: I'll.....I can beat you..uggghh *coughs up blood*

Seth: humph *walks away and jumps to another roof until hes out of sight*

Joesph looks at a beaten Zion

Joesph: Boy you got messed up.

End

Coming along good. Some of his actions seem a bit abrupt though. Maybe through some more dialogue in there to show the characters' intentions? In any case, it's coming along very well. Keep it up!
"So David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the LORD. And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor."

2 Samuel 6: 21&22



"I am going to take this bucket of water and pour it on the flames of hell, and then I am going to use this torch to burn down the gates of paradise so that people will not love God for want of heaven or fear of hell, but because He is God."

Zion is in the corner sitting down on the floor staring into space...Joesph is cleaning out the the trash plied up in the room

Zion: this sucks

Joesph:......Shut up Zion

Zion sighs bows his head

Zion: I'm cold and hungry

Joesph:..yeah cause thinking about it helps

Zion looks around the room

Joesph throws a bag of trash across the room

Joesph:NO Z I like begin cold, hungry,broke, with no bed to sleep on I like..No I LOVE IT ZION I WANT NOTHING MORE THAN THIS PATHETIC MEANINGLESS LIFE......Whats with you?

Zion: him

Joesph: OH God not this again he beat you Zion get over it hes an ally whats the big deal?

Zion: And what if hes playing with me huh...you saw his skill..he made me look like a atmature..

Joesph: No he didn't. You made a move and he had a REALLY good counter combo.Your still living..now shut up and let me clean in peace..or you could help...you could go to the dump and see if there's anything we can use...

Zion just sits there with no response..Joesph walk out the door ...a good hour passes until a tall Spanish man walk into the room with a LARGE knife at hand.

Spanish man: WHAT'D YOU SAY BOUT ME WHITE BOY!!!

The man runs toward Zion with his knife in air and slashes downward at Zion.Zion catches the blade then kicks the man in the stomach.He grabs his gut as Zion throws the knife aside gets up and starts to beat the man to a pulp....he drags the man by the hood of his jacket out in to the street and continues down the road with the man still in hand he stop in the middle of a above water bridge Zion then throws the thug in and wait to see him come up for air. the man comes up alive and swimming to keep himself that way.Zion walk back home and sees Joesph cleaning up..Zion notices a blanket on the floor

Zion: where'd you get this?

Zion rubs it on his cheek (sniff)

Zion: Jess?

Joesph:She told me to give it to you..I met her on the way back from the dump...sigh..she shouldn't be out alone...its a rape waiting to happen..

Zion: She'll never learn..did you walk her home?

Joesph: you kidding me with the gangs, pimps,and all those crazy Vatos out there I had her carry me here..heh heh..yeah I walked her home.

Zion: heh good

Joesph : You seem to be in a better mood..Let off some steam??

Zion: yeah..thanks.

Joesph: Welcome

Zion bundles up in the corner with his new blanket

Joesph: you get all the blanket I get all the mattress

Zion looks in disbelief at a old king size mattress

Zion: YEAH OK!!!!

Zion trys to push Joesph so he can have some space..Joesph pushes back

And I'll stay by that.

For what your intentions were, it works very nicely. The story has a bit of a flavor to it now.

I'd have one suggestion, however, and that has to do with the fighting scene. While your actions themselves were good, a bit more structure/paragraphing would be helpful. Group sets of actions in paragraphs for easier reading.
