Welcome to the Embodiment of Desire BTS (Behind the Scenes, for all of you all that don't know what that sands for.) Instead of writing a lot of Author's Notes that would be annoying to read in the story, I am going to write about that kind of stuff here!
So feel free to go ahead and ask some questions. I will pick a few to answer every chapter or so, as well as talk about the story in general.
To give you an idea as to where the plot bunny started, it was actually something that had been bothering me for over a year now, it was something that was bothering me since towards the beginning of Blurred Lines.
The plot bunny took a life of its own, and started to change in reaction to things that I had witnessed or seen. You know that story, Legacy of Yin? I know I had Naruto switch genders, creating this variation of Ophis. Originally, I was going to have Naruto have four forms, based off of different anime or pictures I saw. The first form would be the weakest, and the fourth would be the strongest.
1st Form: Archer Ilya from Fade Kaleid Prisma Ilya. I never actually watched the anime, but watching the Empty Eyes Amv did give me some ideas.
2nd Form: Ophis. Ditching the blades, it was very hard to come up with a fighting style for the Ophis form. Even now, I only have bare ideas, nothing concrete other than graceful destruction, sort of like Kanade in Angel Beats.
3rd Form: Canon Naruto. He will have the same appearance and general personality, just far more mature, thinking of the previous two forms as his little sisters who he must protect. In terms of power level, he would more or less be as powerful as Naruto without using the Six Paths Sage Mode. (You know, the cutting the Shinju in half with the Yoton: Rasenshuriken kind of deal.)
4th Form: I won't reveal the name, but if you want an appearance, look up Ayuga in FTDS Naruto the Huntsman. Looking at and listening to that soundtrack gave me ideas as well.
And this story would probably still be in the plot bunny stage with the inclusion of the four forms above, if I didn't watch the anime Black Rock Shooter.
In terms of action, there was actually very little in the anime itself, but the characters, the existences of the others, and the abilities of each of them will actually work out really well with the story that I am writing, so long as I tweak them to fit the need that I need them to.
Well, that is all that I have for you guys today, I hope you guys liked the information that I dumped on you. If you guys have any questions or comments, don't be afraid to leave a review. Remember, I will pick a few questions from the reviews of each chapter to answer in the next BTS chapter, so long as they are reasonable!
Cheers,
