Been working, but not on what I promised...

I've been having an extremely hard time getting involved in my Skyrim story.  I don't want to just skim over it and hand out any crappy story, wanting to take some time in it and flesh it out a bit more.

When I write the Skyrim story I'm also playing the game...so whenever there is dialogue or an attack or anything in the game, I write it down in the same order and sequence as the game.  But there are the 'other' aspects which need a bit more creativity. The main plots follow the game--that of the Dragonborn.  But Cerise is so much more than that and I do not want the plot in my mind to get overshadowed by just putting out any story.

So it's been difficult getting my Skyrim muse to help out...

Instead, I've been looking at a few other stories, and lately have been working on one I left out in my previous discussion in my growing list of To-do's.

This story is currently entitled "Sister Cassandra" and is a sci-fi, paranormal, post-apocalyptic story (quite a mouthful there, LOL).

The premise of the story is everybody gets 'three chances' to redeem themselves to decide whether they end up in Heaven or Hell...so there is a bit of karma and reincarnation involved.  If your first life is bad, and your second life is good, you get a third chance to compensate--the end result deciding if your soul goes to Heaven or Hell as you are weighed upon the Scales of Justice.  Of course there are the purely evil and purely divine who only need two lives (or in extreme circumstances, one) to decide their fate, so not everybody gets that triumvirate of lives...

Enter our protagonist, a woman who was a devout nun in her first life back in Medieval days, and in her second life, became a murdering prostitute/stripper.  With her two lives she has completely nullified both her good and bad 'points' to decide where she goes.  She is a true neutral.

She is reincarnated by an Angel and Demon pair during the seven-year wait before the battle of Heaven and Earth (Armageddon) to discover there is a third 'player' involved with the coming war, which wants neither Heaven nor Hell to win, but instead replace both factions.  This third faction is composed of both Angels and Demons who are disenchanted with the extreme views of God and Satan and prefer more of a 'neutral' rule where they can control mankind and coexist.

As a true neutral soul, she has the inherent capability to enter both Heaven and Hell zones, so is 'recruited' by both Heaven and Hell to thwart the third faction, allowing the true battle of Armageddon to decide the outcome.

So you may ask, where is the eroticism of the story?  Well, we come to find out she is brought back into the world as a succubus.  The reasoning behind this is the only 'middle-ground' between Demons and Angels is of a sexual nature.  Only God and Satan have true control over a person's soul, so in order to circumvent the 'system' they had to infuse a true neutral with the essence of both good and evil...and thus our protagonist was 'born.'

True neutrals are rare--in fact, there has only been one other true neutral in the existence of Heaven and Hell, and that is God.  God created everything on pure neutral terms to let everything just 'pan' out--it was not until Lucifer fell and the Holy Spirit and finally Jesus came into play that 'good' and 'evil' lines were drawn.

As true neturals are basically non-existent, this gives our protagonist an 'edge' no other side is expecting, allowing her to pose as both an Angel or Demon.

I plan on the story following her as she is directed to destroy the third faction in both past and present, using her sexuality to seduce and ultimately destroy those who would fuel the third faction.

She is given several 'powers' besides feeding off sex:
  • She can travel through time with the help of her 'overseers' (the angel and demon who awoke her), to stop events from happening that would favor the third faction.  This is one of the inherent 'perks' of being truly neutral--not even Angels or Demons can travel through time as the 'rules' were made to stop all but a true neutral (which at the time, was only God).  As such, she can actually change the course of events to favor one side or another.
  • She can only be killed by a demon or angel, but even then, as she is a true neutral, they cannot truly kill her.  When time advances she will still be reincarnated from the beginning...so even thought she is killed in the past, her rebirth is unimpeded and she can go back in time again with the knowledge of how to avoid her death.
  • She has been instilled with the knowledge of the past as well as how to use any weapon from the past, so when she travels back she can be immediately acclimated to the time and place she is inserted.

The story is an attempt to "branch out" from the basic stories I've been doing and try something different.  Sort of a whimsical way of venting my creative juices, LOL.  It's also an attempt and sideline project when I'm stumped at my current story (e.g., Skyrim at the moment, Lapdancing 05 previously) to 'clean the slate' in my mind and work on something different.

I'm hoping this will purge the mental impasse I'm having with Skyrim to get the story on the go once again.  It worked with Lapdancing 05, so we'll see how it goes!

This is also one of the first stories I thought about doing 3D Graphics on...long before thinking about Diamond or Annie, as I always had a thing for the "nuns with guns" mentality, LOL, so thought I'd bring it to fruition!

Still plan on continuing with Skyrim, just need this mental diversion to get back on track...
