Character Building

With the next story getting ready to get under way at Neverland Transit Authority, in June, I'm already working to build up characters, settings, and script on the next story after that; tentatively titled Galactic Gun: The Advetures of Justin Bailey in Wedding Bell Blues.

While I can't really share the particulars of the story - the who, what, why, where, and when, I can show off a little something I'm very proud of...

This is a high ranking priest of  a religious school of thought that the crew of the No.7 will be encountering, down the road. In constructing him, I had a lot of fun coming up with the various reasons why he dresses the way he does, where the religious philosophy started, and all that.

These kind of considerations may seem a little over involved, especially since the reader may never get to learn of every nuance behind what they see. But, giving these characters a substantial history adds weight to their believability; even if they are a member of a fictitious space clergy.

Wedding Bell Blues will follow The Twisted Case of Station 77 and the Galactic Gun short that follows it. Hopefully it'll start Spring of 2013.
