Plotting and story movement 2018
Jan. 14th, 2018 10:54 pmI totally realize how OCD this looks...just go with it.
Storyline Summary
2016: Dancer. Creative Director. Co-owner of a modern day speakeasy styled cabaret. Daughter of a New York City crime boss that she thought was dead (and now really is dead). In the cross-hairs of the co-owner (Ludger Holt, aka Emcee) who wants her club for himself. Was fortunately unfortunate enough to cross paths with Frank Castle, which, unintentionally, set off a world of crazy.
2017: Shaken. Devastated. Traumatized. Resilient. Emcee is on the lam. She relies on good friends, strangers, frallies (friends+allies), determination, humor, booze and a lawyer to get her through the devastating family secrets that she's unearthed - four other clubs. Four other trafficking venues. And then a half-brother, Emcee's son, whose intentions are murky, at best. A myriad of other criminals may be moving in on her father's turf. The plan? Transform into a faux organized crime princess next in line to the family throne. Get info. Move in on the clubs and get the women out before more harm comes to them.
....
General Premise
2018: Emcee's back. Ezera clings to her new persona. Her past catches up to her. Will she abuse her new power and position to take care of her problems? How long does she have until a rival for her position decides to make a move? Will the quest to hold the fragments of family together make her blind to her half-brother's machinations/influence? Or will she let go? Is it even possible to lead a double life--helping trafficked people while pretending to be on the inside? Is there a voice of reason and sanity to be found anywhere? Or are there just partners in crime?
(Potential) Morbid Aristocracy 2018 Fiction
1. Fragments: Ezera relives a memory from her past via an abused woman that's fighting for her life in the hospital and she has to make a difficult decision. [Part One--done.]
2. Upon My Death, My Heart: Tobias gives Ezera a letter that her father wrote to her, one that was never meant to be delivered...(Tobias is a manipulative opportune bastard).
3. Shadow Dance: Izzy initiates the Stop Traffick campaign. And changes the trajectory of her career. (Sorta.) But that also means that it pisses off a whole lotta criminals. She knew how to get into this world but is it even possible to get out?
(Potential) Morbid Aristocracy Plot related 2018 RP ideas
I welcome everyone into my plots and scheming if there's an interest. Anything can be adapted/changed to help fit in with different characters and what you'd want to get out of it whether they're evil, neutral or good. Willing work-in cross overs. Always feel free to hop in to open threads or PM me. I don't always feel comfortable tapping people to join my threads but, know that everyone is welcome.
1. Emcee gets his comeuppins...
2. Saving the trafficked people from the clubs...
3. Drowning cargo - I'm thinking she gets info on a cargo shipment of people arriving at the docks and then everything starts to go sideways (and into the water)...
4. Trafficking - One of her peoples gets abducted & trafficked. Ezera looks at the unlikely tag team she's called--"So, are you just going to stand there and glare at one another?! Go, rescue her, please."
RP Wishlist
I'd wish for...
1. Ezera's background changed a bit. It won't affect RP relationships. I took out the bit where she has cancer. While that was a plot device that I was using to finish an over-arching story and be the driving force for her personality and motivation to egg her on, her "path" changed so much that it didn't make sense to keep that in since she'd never be able to do half of what she's done at this point. It became a unrealistic puzzle piece that no longer fit.
2. But because that did play a huge part in forming her positive/driven personality, I changed it so that, after her father was "killed", which impacted her so profusely, she had one/two formative/significant events of bodily assault in her early twenties by a boyfriend, which, while terrible, better defines one of her character flaws, her personality, and also better explains the almost zealous, risky and ridiculously dangerous motivation to figure out whether her father's other clubs are human trafficking hubs for sex labor and human rights abuse.

I'd wish for...
- Someone to pick up playing her half-brother (bit of a psychopath) but that's a tall order.
- More relationship development btwn characters.
