sativa: (FMA - Ed - Pwned)
[personal profile] sativa posting in [community profile] snippets
Was thinking November is coming up soon and returning to the idea of a mafia style version of Granblue Fantasy that can merge elements of Tokyo Crazy Paradise with Baccano with Viewfinder using our favorite Dragon Knights as a basis for rolling out a story. So, I wrote up some basic character sketches to get myself thinking about what kind of story I'd like to actually write if I do it which I did instead of actually figuring out how to fully utilize Scrivener like I should



Siegfried:

Josef’s true successor and left hand man who was brought off the streets and raised from a fairly young age to be one of the best of the best in their organization. Of course, he has a reputation for being a bit wild and doing things by his own rules but that’s never really stopped him before right? RIGHT????? Of course, he can easily be accused of being a greedy, money-grubbing agent who went rogue and killed Josef for power/favors from a different cartel group which gives Isabella an excuse to put a price on his head/turn the tides of power into her favor while she wraps Carl around her fingers. Siegfried, meanwhile, must use all his wiles to keep a low profile while he seeks help from the police and other cartels. It’s fabulous.

Aglovale:

Cop who toes the line of good and bad cop and has the entire police force scared of getting on his bad side just by looking at him. (I mean, I need review his basic character but gruff, no nonsense, high standard police chief just seems like a good foot for his gruff side and yet also takes advantage of his high standards and political savvyness).

Isabella:

The former right hand (wo)man to Josef who has essentially taken over the syndicate because she’s everyone’s “anego” and has gained a thirst for power and notoriety. Every passing day she gets less subtle as she slowly takes over power and gains support from the lower ranks in the group to replace Carl who is basically a softie who doesn’t really feel the need to keeep the syndicate alive but does because it’s still his family even if Josef was more into it then he was.

Gawain:

Not sure what his role would be because let’s face it, I need a fleshed out plot, but could be a good segue to make him be a higher up in a rival syndicate, maybe even an overseas syndicate that supposedly hired siegfried to take out Josef. Of course, Isabella and said syndicate (I.e. Pete) probably had an agreement so they use each other to try to purge the “trouble makers” out of their midst so Gawain would then become a natural ally to try to mop up the mess for each other. I mean, mostly I just want him to have an excuse to work with Aglovale so they can become fuck buddies on the side.

Lancelot:

Young man with a strong sense of self and justice and knowing that a lot of times the heroes we need aren’t always the pure, good intentioned guys but wants to be that person anyways even while immersing himself into the seedier side of things. He’s tenacious when he’s on the scent of a mission and sometimes doesn’t always realize when he’s in way over his head. Could start with one of his chickadees (and Vane’s) getting into trouble or some kind of an accident and Lancelot realizing there’s something a lot darker going on in his neighborhood that he feels compelled to look into which is how he gets one foot into the mafia/gangster world after catching the eye of certain people (*cough*, Isabella) that he really should have stayed away from.

Vane:

General working man living the carefree life trying to help his roomie and childhood friend Lancelot survive in the dark world by giving him a warm place to return home every single night (when he comes home). Could be basic restaurateur, fellow journalist (maybe on the home and lifestyle section), life coach for tiny children (idk, martial arts teacher for the kiddies maybe? Could be part time work after his main job maybe or something he does sort of like through the boys and girls club).

Percival:

The Inside Man in Isabella’s cartel who was pretty fresh to the group who was under Siegfried. This could lead to some interesting things because he’s pissed at Siegfried for screwing things up and putting his life at risk when he was just there as a favor to his brother to try to figure out what the fuck is going on after Josef’s death and the shifting power dynamics, etc. With Isabella taking over things. He could also be a bridge to Siegfried as they work together to figure out shit before it all goes to hell in a handbasket (and also fuck buddies, I mean…)

Josef: Dead former mafia man who impacts everyone. Do I need to say more. Also into bonsai’s and philosophical discussions of right and wrong, especially given what he does.

Carl: Uh… bonsai growing softie with a heart of gold who easily gets taken advantage of because he puts his trust in the wrong people and, ewll, also because he’s being constantly fed the wrong information so he thinks everything is just peachy. Could throw a few surprises later down the road though since he is a lot sharper then he appears at time even if he is still soft hearted!!

Sylph:

Let’s face it, she’s gonna be the kid that drags Lancelot into this whole godawaful mess. Probably something to do with Isabella trafficking in children or something because she thinks kids are some secret ingredient to eternal youth, idk. Or she’s just trafficking in children for the pure hell of it. Needs more thought, but clearly sylph should be the reason things go boom. "
