(General Fiction/W.I.P Pre-Alpha Stage) Yet another UHC fanfic + pitch dossier
Good lord, am I nervous.
First off, a thank you to the kind person (I won't drop names, but you know who you are) who pointed me this direction. I am most appreciative. :D
Anyways, I come seeking consultation. At the risk of sounding like a broken record (I reiterate this in the links below,) there's a lot of stuff I don't know, and I'd love to have a few 'experts' whom I can 'annoy' for information and assistance. It's this particular fan community I wish to write this fanfic for, and I want to give this project due diligence.
Fanfic Pitch Dossier - Please read this first. Warning: Massive Wall of Text (chances are, you guys can handle it. <3) Edit: Don't panic. This is just preparation. Thank you.
Update: Prologue Beta is completed, more or less. Please let me know what you think and don't be afraid to offer suggestions. Thank you for the help so far, guys! :D
So, I kindly ask that instead of tomatoes, please throw me a few bones to work with. I look forward to your suggestions and help, and all of you have my thanks in advance.

Oh! And for BTC's loadout: -this- [http://fav.me/d2ht7ps] is what comes to mind when I see his skin, skull makeup and all. He must have been as terrifying see on the battlefield as Etho and Pause.
That said, I realized early on (a given, considering there are 27 confirmed Mindcrack members) that this story was going very much feature an ensemble cast... and from my own experiences, writing for an ensemble cast is tricky. I can only put the spotlight on so many people at a time, and some of the guys may wind up only getting secondary and/or passing roles. I don't want that to happen, but for the sake of the story and the pace I hope to establish... squeezing a few of the guys off the stage may wind up being a necessary evil. My apologies to the fans of the castmembers in advance.
That said, if you are following my WIP document, I feel like I have too many guys in the arena already, so I may have to shuffle the roster about and kick a few 'Crackers into the 'Dectective' column. I would still like a little input on who should be in the arena and who should be left uncaptured/free to to figure out what's really going on, simply because that knowledge will affect how I'm going to write the next chapter.
On a different note: Vechs. I somehow got it into my head that Vechs is a very notorious Moderan Ex-pat and one not well liked by a few of the existing members of the Protectorate (especially Baj, Zisteau, and Paul Soares.) He must have given the Vanali a hell of a lot of trouble when he was fighting on the Modera side of the Severance Wars, but got kicked out of Modera for some reason (perhaps fairly recently in this story's historical timeline) and wound up finding amnesty somehow in Mindcracker territory. What do you guys think?

I think the reason Vechs would've been kicked out from Modera is for a similar reason to Doc - his experiments (mostly in weaponry and such), have gotten more and more dangerous and Modera began to worry that he'd become a problem. He recieved amnesty due to some friendships with some former Modera members. Maybe he helped Boo and Guude escape?
ETA: Oh yeah, and Ads is detective. He's another non-PvPer
