Yu-Gi-Oh GX fic research update #3 - A look into one's dark side.

I started to look at the main characters (Jaden, Jesse, Atticus, Jim, Zane and Hassleberry) for my fic and what would their dark side would be like. Sell going through my notes I found a few things and I looked to compare on what characters were listed in chapter six of the book "The Power of the Dark Side"; a great book for how to write great villains. Chapter six deals with the types of villains and bingo I found some people we all might recognize.


The Trickster – Mentally sharp. Sharp tongued.  Good command of language, twists words and phrases, double entendres, puns.  Somewhat mean, sometimes downright cruel.
- Jim "Crocodile" Cook fits this.


The Rake – Pheromones gone wild. They exude an aura of irresistibility and they know it. Some don’t actually enjoy sex, but they use sex to gain power and control. Some maybe searching for sexual fulfillment, cold angry they’ve never found it. They are not always physically beautiful, but they instinctively know what you think is beautiful and play that up. They quickly assess your pride (hair, profession, etc.) and your shame (weight, family, etc.) and use those seemingly bond with you. They will boff you for days and murmur all those love words, but there is always a deep chasm are a steep wall between you and their real selves.
-Atticus Rhodes fits this.


Pimps, Panderers, and Pushers – Control freaks. Users. People intent on wallowing in the degradation of others. Low self regard and low regard for others. Pessimistic. Defeatist. Cynical. Greedy. Sociopath.
-Zane Truesdale fits this.


Pirates, Rebels and Traitors – Selfish. Disdain for the system and determination to take advantage of it. Addicted to adrenalin. Physical courage or simply not caring whether they live or die. Angry or other extreme, indifferent. Using violence and fear to try to feel something… anything. Often self destructive; the simply don’t give a hoot about themselves or anyone else. Thought spiritual teachings says there’s Light inside everyone, you’d be hard pressed to find any in these people, they have done such a good job of covering it over with Darkness.
-Jesse Anderson fits this.


Bad Cob, Worse Cop – Cocky, swaggering. Love the uniforms, the guns, the medals, the machines. Competitive. Have a daddy-knows-best attitude toward the populace, but resent the powers over them. Disgusted with the bad and sad people they deal with on the streets. On constant alert, they see danger everywhere and are always ready for it.
-Tyranno Hassleberry fits this.


Dictators, Tyrants and Cult Leaders – Charismatic. Clever. Proud. Arrogant. Insensitive. Intuitive. Exude a sense of confidence and power. They lock gazes with you (you’re a deer in the headlights) and speak hypnotically. Often sexually voracious. Ruthless and slightly, or maybe totally, mad
-Jaden Yuki fits this.


Yes I am going to make these guys as evil and twisted as possible and no one said that the main characters have to be good guys right.

Yu-Gi-Oh GX fic research update #2 - aka, Now For The Weather!

Well for my latest up date for my fic I have finally figured out the damn climate and weather for both the city of Domino/New Domino and Duel Academy Island. That is a good thing because the weather and the climate will play a major part in this fic and I wanted authanticity. Trust me you can't have a good horror fic with out shitty weather and people will nit-pick at those little discrepencies somewhere and the last thing I need is some YGO fan who is a meterology major getting on my damn back. XD


Anywho, back to the weather with me Cin Wiseman. For today the city of Domino will experience medium to heavy rain showers with a relative humidity of 80% through the day with a high of 56 and a low 42 degrees. While Duel Academy will have heave rain with a relative humidity of 85% with a high of 60 and a low 49 degrees. So duelists keep your deck dry and if you do plan on dueling with your duel disks today do so in a covered area and sorry to our duel runner enthusiast out there, unless you can find a covered racing track to duelrun in no dueling for you. Now to sports with Jesse Anderson, back to you Jesse. *Gives everyone a stupid weather-girl smile.*


Oops, got carried away there. XD But you get it, only 4 pages of notes too. Impressive by my view of things since I have been writing pages and pages of stuff in a spiral notebook. Now I have to go hunting to find the best ways to write a convincing redneck/hillbilly. I got more info on Arkansas yesterday. I swear that state wants me, or that their Jesse Andersons do. I am still waiting for tourist info from Romania and Hungry for the twisted version of Duel Academy Island and the mainland. And some stuff on California for me and Aster ((Aster is from San Fansisco and Cin is from LA)) and also some stuff from New Mexico for Hassleberry. I got stuff from Dawin Australia for Jim. As for the others Jaden, Zane, Atticus, Alexis, Syrus, Bastian and Chazz they are from Tokyo Japan.


So here I go for another late night of research. Wish me luck and I will update you guys soon. ^^

Yu-Gi-Oh GX fic research update #1

Okay got my cowboy slang notes that I have been taking for about 6 hours now. What lengths I would go to get authenticity and be trueful to the Yu-Gi-Oh GX fandom as possible. From the little bits of info I have gathered watching the anime half a million times and reading what I have of the manga and going to the Yu-Gi-Oh wiki and catching clues from random dialog from the anime I have gotten several good starting points for several characters backgrounds as to where they are from. So what do I do? Order free travel guides to those places those characters are from and go to the library when I had no computer for at least those 2 an a half months and either photocopy or take handwritten notes on those places and other story elements I am needing for this fic and what I can't find at the library I go on the net here. I have at least have gone through 4 different slang dictionaries at the library and on line, (Hasslebrerry need half of those dictionaries, one of cowboy slang the other military slang). And enough travel guides to start a travel agency (Especially travel guides from Arkansas. I got so many from there that I can make Jesse walk around that state blindfolded, in a middle of a saver blizzard, in the middle of the night in the middle of the woods in the Ozarks with out getting lost.) Um... yeah, you get what I am saying. Well I am going to bed. If you got any questions on what the hell I am writing just ask, I would love to share and suggestions and ideas are always welcome. We have to feed the plot bunnies. ^^
