first thunder of the year, think i may go outside and let the noise crash around me before the rain comes....

so ive already expressed how i want some help on a story im creating. its been developing in my head for 5some odd years now, and its pretty near and dear to me, and its actually really hard to let myself even put part of it down. So note me or email me if you've got any ideas or wish to help me get this down to something.

             so in another world (as these things often are) is a world of a 'fake utopia' because real utopias dont exist, it is a peaceful empire, but corruption is still possible and there is evil here and there, but more or less the people are all peaceful and respectful, because of the thing that ties them all together, and allows them to exist in the realm (i cant exactly explain it here, but there is something very diffrent about this world, it isnt like our earth, though many things are similar...imagine looking at our world as if it were at the bottom of a deep pool...and thats the enchanted feeling this place holds)
the ring of the gods. thats what commoners call it. where the politicians, ambassadors and nobility of this realm reside, but isnt accessible through any physical way on the plane of that realm (it almost exists in a different dimension, the reason this is possible is explained later). The 'nobility' of this realm are said to be incarnations of gods, or people touched by the gods who have long left this plane, these people are said to understand the way the world works in specific ways, and through that knowledge can shift and move things around them.
so we get into our characters.

      i dont feel like naming them yet but youll get an idea of who they are:


       The Daughter: she is the daughter of the emperor and empress, who have both eroded their souls into the universe and left their marks on their children. she is the imprint of her father on this world, her father was said to be a direct contact to the highest of the celestial beings, so she is seen as a great prophetess and an all knowing witness and judgment bringer. Because of her direct contact to the celestial entities (and even her ability to travel to their plane of existence, something her father wasn't even permitted to do) she has been granted control over the very finest basic elements in the universe 'stardust' what created the first elements, and what created the stars and planets. So by extent she controls the celestial bodies, and often uses them to her advantage. (most famously she will summon stars, or scatter stardust on a battlefield and walk on the suspended objects, and even use them to cut into people (though it will never cause them to bleed, it will reconfigure their molecular build temporarily, causing immense pain, and the feeling of death,) she can also use traveling to the celestial world as a form an illusion of 'teleportation' as she dances around her enemies.  If high officials are coming to speak with her they will often give her gifts of purified stardust, which she will often create into new born stars or gems and give them back as symbols of peace and friendship. She is sometimes seen as the successor to the throne, which often isolates her from the people around her, one of her names literally translates into 'solitude' but she longs to reach out to people and help them in any way she can. She doesn't want to be just a figurehead.

Should note, that although I put battlefield and enemy in here, the world is peaceful, mostly the fighting she would take part in is in training, she is still relatively young (though the higher nobility is perceived as immortal, and her age is unknown, and living for thousands to millions of years, there are wars and skirmishes that do break out, its peaceful, but not a utopia.


       The Son: same heritage as the daughter, except he is the imprint of his mother, who was much more quiet and calm than his father, which is a major trait he carries. He is the older one; in their world it would be relative of about 6 years apart in maturity. Although he is the firstborn son he does not carry more responsibility, his sister perhaps carries more than he does, being the incarnation of their father. He recognizes his sisters though position and tries his best to sooth her, but his duties often call him to be away from the Imperial Realm, and he worries endlessly about her mental well being (several occurrences in the past have shown she isn't the most stable). The empress worked closely with the people and grew to understand and connect with them, so as her incarnation the son has the ability to manipulate and control peoples views and feelings, but he thinks this power is corrupt so he rarely uses it, unless he is calming down his sister, some people think he was never blessed with an ability at all. He has complete understanding of the 'human' phyce. He's pretty lazy, but is willing to help anyone if asked politely. The son loves music, he plays the drums, and will play a rhythm that will sooth a person's mind and cause them to relax. He often plays in heavy methodical beats which cause the mind to relax and the heart rate to lower, often when he plays people will nap or lounge around the practice area. He plays upbeat and exciting music at festivals with his sister, who plays a violin like instrument. A lot of their time together is spent practicing songs he composes.


              The teacher: how long he has been around and who he truly is few people really know, some think he is an ancient time keeper, but to think that he even cares for or keeps track of events across all of the realms would be terribly mistaken. He cares little about the nobility despite his residence in the Imperial Realm. The teacher has no known noble lineage, yet he has been in the Imperial Realm as long as anyone can remember, and the most notable thing about him is his overwhelming dark aura and his terrifying ability…The teacher is able to manipulate the space between spaces, mold what there is not, and because of this he has complete understanding of all of the dimensions, and even has the ability to knock people into them if he sees fit. What most people don't know is the citadel that holds the Imperial Realm in a quasai physical state in the world they live in. The daughter was one of the few to figure out his position, because she is able to transport to the celestial realm, which is in the same dimension, but when traveling between realms you can feel the presence of the other dimensions pressing on you, and she felt a presence in that space, and connected it back to him, and since then he has taken her under his wing as his apprentice.  He is also a prominent figure in one of the 'three pillars' that are said to hold up the society: The Golden Pillar (Medicine), Marble Pillar (all working class people), and Crystal pillar (The nobility) ((there is actually a 4th pillar, the shadow pillar, which is run by the rebels and underground people, but that is a different matter). He is a prominent figure in the Golden pillar, and medicine is seen different than working class because to become a doctor is in a way a 'holly/noble' profession, because most doctors have a higher understanding of the world around them, and thus have some sort of 'god given' ability, but they have to go through extensive training with a master to be able to properly control the power they have, and to be able to use it positively on others, and not only aide them physically, but also to soothe any darkness from their souls. Not anyone from the nobility though can go into medicine, because it requires a very specific type of personality, control and ability. Most medics and doctors are actually common born, which is why they are perceived as a class of their own.
     The teacher is teaching the daughter how to become a Medic/Doctor, because when she did seek him out she demanded he teach her how to properly care and give to others (because of her position, stated above). He does sense great potential in her, but is also worried about the stress and turmoil's that were consuming her. he often blames the teachers assigned to her by the nobility for teaching her to take care of all the wrong things, and makes it appear burdensome that she is around, while he really is pleased with her progression, and sees her as a sort of daughter. Though this doesn't mean he treats her affectionately, quite the opposite, he is very harsh and critical, almost as you would imagine a drill sergeant at times. He often tries to trick her up and catch her unaware, he often tries to give her poison drink as a lesson to not trust what people give you, even when you are frantic or desperately in need (so far she hasn't fallen for it yet, even when she was sick). He has even gotten into physical fights with her, but has often beaten her, or at least left her with some reminder not to cross him again…that said they still have their sweet moments together, and if she is critically ill he will tend to only her until she is better again.



That was a lot packed into so little, and there's so much left out. These are by no means the only main characters, just the three most prominent, and the three I've been developing for the longest time. Im sure my grammar and my spelling sucked, and my thoughts were all over the place.

So who wants to help? And any questions asked I will gladly answer.

I have a quick question, 1. Is revolution possible here? For example, could a noble gather commoners in order to "take over" 2. Would it be possible for the Noble to be part of the shadow Pillar? 3. Is there any other way problems could arise? And 4. Is it possible to be immune to the the Son's mood control ability?
