Look at your current (main-ish, I guess?) Skulduggery Pleasant OC. Do you have a good visual picture? Got their personality in mind? Their magical talent? Their history?
OK- I want you do look way back when when you first created them. For some of you that may not be long ago, and for others I AM SO SORRY. But for all of you, I want you to really focus on that time. Recall how you picked their (your?) names and background and powers and weapons and all that jazz.
Now try and remember if you ever considered something that didn't make it to the final character. Different power? Hair color? Name? What else? Is there anything you'd like to change about your character NOW, in present day? And if you could (will? would? I don't know) change, would you do it? If you sit there thinking of what you would change, what else comes to mind? Anything else you'd want to try? I got you thinking now, didn't I? (I hoooppee soooo)
'Kay, I'm getting to the point now. Enough theoretical stuff.
I'm going to write about an alternate Skulduggery universe. Like, a major AU project thing. Taking the instances with what I said above (What is, What could have been, what is, what may be changed, something new), I'm re-vamping March, and so far I've asked Thalia and Mir and Lyd to look into that too. And yes, I'm asking you to do that to.
Morph those ideas together and make a new bio. This is your time to experiment and go NUTS. But also keep thinking while your at it. You can give them a new power, a different back story, make them look different, or maybe if their parents were dead now they're alive. And Hellboy- maybe you'd even make Elysium Asylum different. Maybe it's a massive boat... That we all live in. O_O But you know, it'd be appreciated if it wasn't a boat. Maybe we all just live in the Midnight Hotel or something (hehehehe).
You don't have to write this big monster of a bio- it can just be little, experimenting with different ideas. When I'd write a story I'd just open up more on that.
It's much appreciated if you DO make a longer bio, tho. Please try and do something. Aaaanyyyttthhhiiinnngggg. Seriously, think about it. Let your mind be blown by yourself (is that even possible...?). THERE ARE NO RULES. This is your character, do with it what you want. No rules, all for the need that I'm implying is for the character to be different. Almost RADICALLY DIFFERENT, HAHA.
If you do make a bio, put it on Bio-rama~!
(Bio-rama's looked so lonely lately I want to give it the love that it deserves ;_;)
And if you don't officially have a ownership of the blog (is that what it's called? I don't really knoww...), then put it on your own blog, and put the link in the comments. OR, ask someone elseto post it. :3
Now is the part where I beg you to do it.
PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE DO THIS.
I'm really intrigued by this idea of an AU and I need an idea of the whole world to work.
(Oh, and I think I'll just keep the original SP verse characters normal/regular/original. Because I can't get Derek to personally try this. But I would if I could)
Now- COMMENT AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE DOING IT OR NOT. EVEN IF YOU TOLD ME ALREADY. BECAUSE I LIKE TO HAVE REMINDERS. AND STUFF.
Any questions (I'm not sure if I really got my point across or not) at all can be asked directly to me via chat, or in these comments. :)
*rolls away to write the bio*
