(General Fiction/W.I.P Pre-Alpha Stage) Yet another UHC fanfic + pitch dossier

[halcyonlioness]

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.

Work-In-Progress Document - [Warning: Unfinished Fanfic! There May Be Spoilers!]
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.

Those are all very good suggestions (the ones in the spoilers make me especially happies! Gonna have fun tinkering with those.)

We're going to want to figure out the loadouts for the characters you suggested, so I request a little help researching their backgrounds and personalities... or at least some more suggestions to lead me to the right path.

*happy thank you dance*

I don't watch Baj or Anderz really D: But finding the Death Games videos from Etho, MC and Nebris should help with those guys I think? Nebris is extremely efficient, builds big impressive castles. Whatever he goes into he kind of throws himself in and comes out amazingly well regardless usually. Pyro is young, enthusiastic, has very mobile eyebrows from what little I've seen of his face came stuff. You've pretty much got loadouts for the rest of the guys I watch.

:D Can't wait to see what you do!

Some random notes for you on some of the guys.

Baj: British. Seems a bit gruff at first impressions, with a very dry, sarcastic sense of humour and a sharp wit. Actually really nice and funny when you get to know him. Famous mustache. Also famous for watching wheat grow and almost starving to death in UHC, which no-one has ever let let him live down. Creative use of language, particularly when frustrated. ('Oh... Brian Blessed on a bicyle!' is one of my favourites)

Anderz: Swedish Viking. His dyslexia and funloving, sometimes derpy personality contrast with his berserker fighting skills. Like the Vikings of old, would rather die in battle, with honour. Swears a lot, but not for shock value, just his manner of speech.

Millbee: (Other than being a talking rainbow sheep) Welsh. Likes to have fun, takes the mickey out of things, very silly sense of humour, but will not hestitate to let you know, explicitly, if you tick him off. Very expressive, a lot of hand and facial gestures. Also swears a lot. Goes back a lot with Pause.

Nebris: Known as 'cheaty' but not actually a bad person. Would be a good character if you need to aquire something that fell off the back of a lorry. Likes shiny things, especially glowstone. Friend of MC.

That's going to go a long way. :D
Thanks for the input!

EDIT: I might want a little more to work with for MCgamer. Having a little comedy play off his love for lapis just isn't enough, you know what I mean?

No problem. :)

Ah, our MC. Sometimes a bit scatterbrained and exciteable but very mature for his age, always wanting to help other people (he does a lot for charity). Despite usually flailing around a bit, he's actually very good in a fight, and loyal to the people who stick by him. Has something of a comfortable domestic streak, in a group he'll be the one gathering food, making beds and making sure everyone eats. (Cobblehaters is the best example of this). Looooooves anything to do with the Zelda series and has an almost encyclopeadiac knowledge of them (could subststute well as some kind of eclectic research).

Oh, additional: his name is Matthew, but he prefers MC.

If you want something to make you laugh and get some pretty good insight for MC and Millbee, check out 'Orange Wool' if you haven't seen it.

Yay! Inpuut! /johnny5reference

Thanks, again! *keyboard clatter*

Hee, you're welcome. :D

*sudden nostalgia because I haven't seen that movie in freakin' years*
