Questionable Questing

He just got cocky and angry at being judged and how much the dad restricted his daughter's life, and when the daughter dumped soon afterwards, he became obsessed with strength and getting powerful enough to where none of those people that scorned him would ever forget his name.

Of course not realizing, the daughter dumped him not because he lost but because he escalated to a public fight like that to begin with. She didn't want to be some prize being fought over. She was shy and just wanted her family to get along. And her family where severely humiliated by this since, her dad loosing control and brutalizing his opponent like that almost got him kicked out of his light sect.

I like this potential redemption being fucked over and leading later to him loosing a chance to find love with a new family and wife

I kind of like the idea that it wasn't really his one shot at redemption, but more that the reason he can't find redemption is because he can't let this go. Its why his injury always hurts even decades after the fact, its why every time he finds a new girl he likes he goes out of his way to turn her into a bimbo whore, and why he refuses to be seen as weak.

He keeps digging himself deeper in that hole because he can't let it go.

That is sad and despicable both

That's kind of what I'm going for. This sad lonely old man, hidden away under the mask of a ruthless and charm. He's the kind of guy to cut down a completely loyal subordinate just because he's getting a little to powerful.

I like it. What for the gang that becomes the followers of the girl?

Not sure yet. I've got a couple idea's but again still working on the characters right now.

I've got big and small, half brothers who fit the classic stereotype. One is the big and dumb brute that doesn't speak but fanatically loyal to his brother, and the other is the puny little coward that talks to much and is the brains of the operation. Except the two brothers deliberately play into these stereotypes.

The brute is actually smarter, he just has trouble talking. Maybe some kind of autism or social dysfunction. The small is actually very loyal and a bit of a softy. His reputation as a trickster and a liar comes from the fact he was willing to take the fall for some of the bosses fuck ups, tanking his own reputation in order to keep the his gang's clean.

The brother's fall in love with the girl, because the girl having experience as a doctor is able to help the brute with his issues in a way no one else is and helps him slowly accept he is not dumb no matter what people say, and small falls in love with her because seeing a girl treat his brother with respect and kindness and is strong enough to kick his ass is a dream come true.

I like this. Using archtypes and than twisting and expanding them

You have any idea's for gang members?

I got two more I'm working on, sister prostitutes but it feels like I'm just doing a repeat of the brothers.

Ya are.

Oh well, I'll just sleep on it and see if I get any new idea's tomorrow. Too be honest I'm just a little nervous about the new job. Not necessarily because I think it'll be bad or anything, but I don't know. A whole lot of stuff changing in a short time, it stressful you know?

Worrying over things you don't know if you mastered yet I get

I mean it maintenance again and while it is for a rehab, many of whom are not there by choice but by court order, so I'll be dealing with clients that have some issues, its not going to be that stressful of a job. Just go in and fix stuff, and you do that enough times and people start love it when you come around. But still, it'll be intresting to see the different systems and how they work compared to my last job.

Soon you'll be in the swing of it
