Don't bother with the blog title, I couldn't think of anything, okay? Like Fur and Out-Of-Ammo have said, blog titles are useless! :P
Alright, so, with Slyfur, Mr_Jenkins, and SuperfastSonic in my story, I will be writing it. :D If anyone else wants to volunteer, I could use just one more character, who will join my three main characters in the third or fourth chapter. But if not, don't worry about it, I might be able to work with three.
So Fur will be Squirrel, SuperfastSonic is Eric (NOT Toto, sir), and Mr_Jenkins will be Jager. And, again, what I had in my last blog had nothing to do with my real story. I was just showing how I would be writing.
Before I get started, I want to thank all of you that commented in my last blog, telling me to go for it. I think I'll have fun writing this, so I'm glad I decided to start.
Okay, so I'm not very good with character bios and backgrounds. I had thought about getting Slyfur to help me with that, but she told me you don't really need much. So I wrote a little bit about Squirrel, Eric, and Jager after Fur gave me some pointers. Which were a lot more helpful than you'd expect from Fur. :P So here's what I have.... (Keep in mind the Weapons and Ability are blank because they haven't acquired any yet.)
Name- Squirrel Xihart (Zye-heart)
Age- 16
Gender- Female
Weapon of choice- (N/A)
Ability- (N/A)
Quote/Catchphrase- "Shut up."
Appearance- Blood-red graphic T-shirt, jet-black jeans, with black-and-white sneakers. Long, dark brown hair always sported in a ponytail, as well as mesmerizing green eyes.
Attitude- Squirrel is hostile when around new people, as well as having a short temper, so she doesn't make new friends easily. However, with her friends Jager and Eric she's a little more calm. She has that "I don't care what you think of me" attitude.
Name- Jager Cullum (Cul-lum)
Age- 16
Gender- Male
Weapon of choice- (N/A)
Ability- (N/A)
Quote/Catchphrase- "Indeed."
Appearance- Dark green, short-sleeved shirt with normal jeans and boots. Short brown hair, brown eyes, always has a pendant around his neck, tucked under his shirt.
Attitude- Jager is mainly an up-beat person with that "random" feeling about him. Very close to his two friends Squirrel and Eric.
Name- Eric Percy (Per-see)
Age- 16
Gender- Male
Weapon of choice- (N/A)
Ability- (N/A)
Quote/Catchphrase- "Time for adventure!"
Appearance- Short, with blue eyes, always wearing a gray T-shirt, regular jeans, and sneakers. Short black hair, sometimes wearing a hat.
Attitude- Eric has always been under-estimated, however he is a cheerful person, and tends to warm up to people quickly. He's always ready for a new adventure, since the lives of Squirrel, Jager, and himself never seem to be normal.
So what do you think? I quite like how they turned out. I'll update the bios once they acquire weapons, and that's the only time I would think they need to be changed. But if anything changes, you can find the updates at the end of the chapter.
Okay, so.... Here's the beginning of my story (Chapter 1)! Hope you enjoy! :D
Chapter 1
Jager and Eric waited by the park entrance, sitting on the brick wall. Something about today seemed odd to the both of them, and not only because the entire park was empty. They had an odd feeling, which neither could explain.
"Squirrel! Over here!" Eric yelled as he spotted Squirrel. She hadn't noticed them until he called out, since she had been too focused in her thoughts, wondering why she hadn't seen any people walking around on her way here.
As she joined her friends, Jager gave her a weird look. "Hey Squirrel, are you okay? You look pale."
"Hm? Oh. Yeah, that. I'm fine." She shook herself slightly to get her mind off of the fact there where no people in sight.
"Did you get enough sleep last night? Or... did something happen to you? Or did-" Eric began rambling..
"Shut up." Squirrel snapped. "I said I'm fine."
"Indeed." Jager spoke, glaring at Eric. Usually the three of them would sit on the wall and just talk about anything, but today neither of them said anything. Finally, Squirrel broke the silence.
"I've had this weird feeling all day. And on my way here I didn't seen any people. At all." She said bluntly, not even trying to ease into the fact she thought something was up.
"Seems all three of us have the same odd feeling." Jager mumbled without looking over at his friends. "What do you suppose is going on?"
"Who knows! Let's spend the day as if we're the last people on Earth!" Eric jumped off the wall and smiled.
"I'm up for breaking some laws or something. How 'bout it, Jager?" Squirrel smirked and waited for Jager to reply.
"Er...." Jager thought it over. "Nothing serious, okay guys? I don't want to have a police record or anything."
"It's not as bad as it seems, ya know." Squirrel spoke, and both Eric and Jager stared at her, yet neither seemed surprised.
The three walked into town. What would usually be filled with all of the town's population, was filled with maybe two dozen people at the most. Jager had thought of asking someone, but figured it would be a waste, since they looked just as confused as the three of them felt.
"Let's go inside.... I have a strange feeling about this." Eric added the last sentence under his breath. The three of them pushed open the door to a shop they had visited quite a few times before. Instead of splitting up and going down separate isles like usual, the three of them stuck together and went down the main isle instead.
"I have a weird feeling about-" Squirrel began, only to be interrupted by a ear-piercing scream from outside. Without a second thought from either of them, the three friends raced out the door to see what was going on.
"This can't be good." Jager and Eric both mumbled. However, Squirrel simply swore under her breath. There must have been about forty little black creatures in the center of town. The few people that were there all ran, back to their homes most likely.
Without a second thought, Squirrel rushed at the creatures, ready to give him a beating with her bare hands. "Squirrel, don't!" Both her friends yelled behind her, but she ignored them. As she neared the creatures, a weapon appeared in her hands. She thought nothing of it, and slashed away at the horde of black creatures.
"What the!?" Jager yelled in shock.
"Where did Squirrel get that from?!" Eric echoed Jager's thoughts. Meanwhile, Squirrel defeated all but one of the creatures. Just as she stabbed her new weapon through the head of the creature, a man whose entire body was drowned in shadows appeared.
"Bravo, bravo." He spoke and clapped his hands. Despite the sun being out and the whole town bright, no details on the man stood out because he was covered entirely in shadows. Squirrel noticed a red emblem on his chest, she decided it was a heart with an X through it. "You not only defeat the Shadow Heartless by yourself, but you fought them with-"
Squirrel interrupted him. "Who the 'ell are you!? And...Heartless?"
"Explain. Now." Jager and Eric walked over and stood on either side of Squirrel.
The man laughed. "I am a Heartless as well." He pointed to the emblem on his chest Squirrel had noticed before. "We cannot talk, but I have been granted to ability, so that you may hear a, heh.... message."
Squirrel held her hands out and stared down at the weapon that had appeared as if by magic. It was dark, and shaped like an over-sized key. The most of it was colored a sort of black color, and the handle was red. "What is this weapon?" She looked up at the man.
He looked down at the weapon, and Squirrel thought he looked a bit shocked at first. "My, my, what a special blade you have here! That is a weapon known as the Keyblade. Not the one I had expected, however.... You, in fact, have been chosen to wield a more... darker version." The man smirked. "It's known as the Reconnect Keyblade, to be exact."
"What about us?" Eric asked.
"Good question." The man put one hand on his chin. "Where are your weapons?" He asked himself quietly. After a moment of silence, the man continued. "Well, the three of you have been chosen as well. Not for the same weapon, of course. Guess the delivery man is running late." He laughed.
"That isn't funny." Squirrel gritted her teeth.
"Very well.... I'll grant you your weapons early. Just pay attention to this..." The man quickly waved his hand towards the three friends, and hand something appear behind them. All three turned, even though Squirrel didn't need to.
An illusion of darkness played in front of them for about three seconds, then the man appeared in front of them again. "Very good." He nodded. None of them understood what just happened, but nodded anyway.
"You," he handed Jager a staff, "will wield magic. Use this staff to concentrate on your powers." Jager nodded as if he knew this, but he thought that if he disagreed the man would be angered. He grabbed the staff and stepped back.
"And you," he nodded towards Eric, but didn't offer him a weapon just yet, "have the power over elements. You can use magic such as Aero to boost your new abilities." Now the man handed Eric a normal-looking sword. "You need not a weapon such as your friends do. This sword may be quite normal, but it is the only thing to help concentrate your powers."
The three seemed to suddenly know about the Heartless, as if the man had filled their minds with a guide on how to fight them. "So, you're a Heartless, right?" Squirrel asked after a moment.
The man paused for a moment, as if he had planned to attack them but was stopped by Squirrel's question. "Correct."
Squirrel smirked, and sliced her "Reconnect" Keyblade straight through the man.
"Very....good...." The man managed to utter before disappearing, just as the Shadow Heartless had done.
"So, what are we supposed to do with these... new weapons and abilities?" Squirrel spoke after a while.
