Hey uh... I hope I've come to the right place but I'm having trouble deciding which of the following basic plotlines I should use/ merge and use/ improve and use:

Four of them: ShowHide
PLOTLINE ONE - GUILT
EVILDUDE tells HERO misleading information, leading HERO to commit a horrible act which brings doom on the world. HERO is led to believe he is the cause of all the chaos and strives to mend things, while EVILDUDE proceeds to take advantage of the world's chaotic state to put his world domination plan into play. Along the way, HERO randomly encounters anti-hero SEMIGOODGUY who wants to claim the quest of saving the world and all the glory it entails for himself.

PLOTLINE TWO - PURE EVIL
From the start, EVILDUDE is a purely evil character, whose evil schemes grow worse and worse. HERO, as the only one who truly understands EVILDUDE is convicted with the quest to protect the world from EVILDUDE who continually falls in and out of evil acts and seeming redemption.

PLOTLINE THREE - HISTORY
HERO and EVILDUDE's ancestors were once great conflicting rulers in history and their hatred for each other is reflected in their direct descendants. However, by the story's end both have reconciled and are able to settle the ancient feud between their families. All the other characters (including SEMIGOODGUY) they meet in their quest are also driven by unknown ancestral pasts which are gradually revealed.

PLOTLINE FOUR - JEALOUSY
EVILDUDE is a highly revered member of his local community and his close friend HERO never seems to be able to fight in the way that he can. A mysterious disappearance of EVILDUDE causes the locals to believe that HERO is jealous of EVILDUDE and must have killed him. HERO's subsequent banishement/rejection leads him to explore EVILDUDE's disappearance further and along the way he discovers EVILDUDE's true and dark motives to take over the world.


Just to let you know I have restrictions on characterisation because I'm basing this off real people. The villain doesn't want to die in the end, for example. D: I'd be happy to answer any questions if needed.

Thanks in advance, and any helpful help is appreciated! :xD:

personally, I think one three and four should be combined in some way. like the evil guy convinces the good guy to do somethin bad, then vanishes, and then goog guy is banished, and along the way, several clues to an ancient battle or whatever comes out, and it's like 'Woah, we did this before.' and then towards the end the evil dude reveals what he's tryin to do is break out of a cycle. or somethin like that. like some basic fusion of 1, 3, and 4. sounds like a nice story, at the basics.

Valcos is a woman.


Spam?
Nah, Blizzard is suggesting to change the "Idea Man" bit because Valcos's specified gender is Female. The gender thing is pretty debatable, methinks... And it can get annoying, no?

What's osu!? It's a rhythm game. Thought I should have a signature with a working rank. ;P It's now clickable!
Still Aqua's biggest fan (Or am I?).

I'm keeping it the same unless Valcos wants to clear things up.

Blizzard no offense to you because your awesome, but that IS a bit spammy IMO.

If it makes everyone happy I'll change my gender :<_<:

...Ulta took everything I was going to say pretty much -_-".

Like, evil guy and the good guy are like close friends but, then at the same time they are at a rivalry because of their ancestors. So, the bad guy tricks the good guy to commit a serious crime and it could possibly make it seem like he has killed the bad guy but, he knows that hes not dead. He gets banished... then what Ulta said sounds good xD.

Thanks so much Ulta and Valcos! :xD: You guys have just inspired an awesome storyline for me... :shifty:

Especially this...

:D

*powers up*

@Valcos: Change your 'Idea man' title or your profile gender? :O ... Or your gender in real life? :V: Anyhow, 'Idea Man' sounds better than 'Idea Woman' in my opinion. :^_^':

It is, but there are people who get annoyed as hell when you confuse their gender. I'm just suprised that Dio (being member for a long time) doesn't know. -_-

It was my understanding that Valcos was a dude who put female as his gender on the forum for the lulz that would follow. I assume this would be one of those luls?
