Latest Shouts In The Shoutbox -- View The Shoutbox · Rules

So this is a kinda basic idea I have for a story, I'm right not getting a story together and possibly create a manga from this. But before I do that, I wanted to create a Manga short like thing so this is the basic story idea and at the end of it will have 3 ideas for my short. So please pick one after you have read through it. I know my grammar sucks so you don't have to point those out.


Pretty much Lee has quite a troubled childhood, a victim between a war between the living mortals of humans, and the realm of the demons(name still pending for something that sounds cooler). As it is Lee has no memory of his family, yet still knows his full name being Lee Song. Ok ok I know the whole cliche of no memory of his past crap but thats not it this time, I thought that factor through already ;D, his memory starts at the age 8, where he has a companion (not revealing who at this point), due to the way that demons (in my story) have a strong influence over the weak, many people caught in between went from good people, into thieves or formed bandit groups and raided the homes of many others. Even after the end of that war, like battle scars, demon influences still remained in the hearts of many people. Because of those factors Lee and his pal (we shall call the companion that for now) where always barely able to protect there so called home, or territory perhaps is one way to put it, from such types of people. It wasn't till when Lee was away that his pal was dead and he returned, he went out for vengeance against the bandits that brought his pal's death (or supposed death maybe d: ). Odds against Lee, nearly loosing his life in the process, a lone swordsman holding a sword in his left hand (kind of the key part here) saves Lee, just barely. This lone swordsman ended up taking Lee back to the village/town he was from, and ended up learning swordsmanship from this lone swordman's master (that name is still pending too, still trying to figure out how he will look like too..). Who was the lone swordsman? If you have been keeping up with my stuff I think it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. ;D Because of that event in Lee's life, he pretty much sees all human life to be very valuable, good or evil, he won't kill a human. Right so, since then Lee has been living there and became close with 2 people, Veronica and Ron (Ron has a special back story I don't want to reveal yet). Soooooo speeding up to the current time, Getsushin isn't at the village very often (at this points its been about 4 years since he was last seen by anyone), Veronica goes missing, Lee gets called out by his master and the leader of the village (aka Veronica's gramps) and asks Lee to find Veronica, they find a letter basically saying she has left for a "certain reason". Lee's master a little uncertain with sending Lee due to the fact he wasn't done with his training, sends him off anyway, to yes find Veronica but for Lee to see the world as it is now, but the finding Veronica part is kind of an excuse, cause he knows Lee isn't going to bring her back so easy anyway. d: So as it is Lee travels the world with 2 things in mind basically, see the world and be better as a swordsman. Sooooo speeding up some more, eventually Ron and Veronica join Lee in his kind odd job/ mercenary like life with the traveling, which later on turns in to something else.

-Lee and starting members (that would be like Ron and Veronica, and maybe Luna at that point) are asked to exterminate a vampire in the local mansion. One would think Garlic is the answer. d: (I've ha this idea for years) Pick this one if you want to see a bit of Lee's low intelligence in a funny way. d:

-Lee ends up being caught up in a fight with a masked swordsman ready to take the life of a man that had committed a crime of a kind, and this man is unarmed. Lee rushing in basically to save the man, what happens afterward? and who is the masked man? Pick this one if yea wanna know

-Lee and Ron are starting to run low on traveling money and go to a fight tournament to start racking up some money. One of the contestants is acting a little funny with the huge cloak and hood, though Lee seems to keep chucking to himself for some reason, and Ron is confused why. And hooded person gets revealed at the end of it, in an interesting way. d: Pick this one if you want a bit of laughs.

2nd idea seems most appropirate for a one-shot, in my opinion, with the 3rd option the least. Tournaments are usually suited for multiple part stories. I think you'd have an easier time pacing the story if you used the second story idea.

I dislike the first idea as from the description you gave of Lee, he doesn't sound like the type who would approve of Vampire hunting.

Huh good point about Lee in the first one, hmm I should change it a little so it ends up being something like, Lee agrees to exterminate the Vampire supposedly just to see one. d:

That's some nice backstory you got there. I also like the 2nd story.

You could also change up the vampire story a bit by having one of Lee's comrads kidnapped by vampires too.

Could work, could work, Yeah I think I'll play around with a few ideas when I start of the Vampire part. d: But for now story 2 here we go. XD
