Authors notes
First off, before I begin, I would like to thank you, reader, for paying attention to this file.
For those who have not read my stories, allow me to introduce myself: I am Issei-The-Dragon-God5, and I publish stories based on Anime series I like! for those who do know who I am and read my stories, thanks for sticking with me all of the way. the reason why I have been offline for so long is because I needed to think about material I could include about my stories. regretfully, progress on "Fire and Ice" will have to be halted for a period of time now that I have returned. material for that series doesn't seem to come into mind when I want it to. however, for this story, I have come up with lots of material! so now to tell you about it...
First off, I would like to state rightful claim over the new characters that I will be placing in the Date A Live universe. Do not steal or mention them in any story without permission from me! don't make all the time and effort I have put into making them an authentic character in vain! thank you.
Second off, this story will begin to take shape into the form that I wish for it to be. while the main series could end in a different way, I may just hold off on finishing this story until I can base this story's ending on how the original series has ended. and yeah, I'm picking up off of the end of Light Volume No. 9, just in case if you were wondering. for those who haven't read volume 10 yet, I encourage for you to do so! its really a massive change of events. Not to spoil much, but the 9th spirit appears in volume 10. Who is it, you may ask? well go read Volume 10! I'm not telling you!
Third, I would also like to share how exactly I have created the new characters and how they tie into the series. first off, it was a basic task of finding out how the Angels and Astral dresses of the spirits are named, and where the names came from. So with time, I have discovered that each Astral dress is named from one of the old divine names of god, as some of you may know. as for the Angels, their names are derived from Abrahamic religious angels. thus, I had to do research into the said subjects to find a name for an Astral Dress and an Angel for each new character. now if this religious stuff is bothering you, I apologize for the trouble. but don't worry, that part is about to end. Next, I had to create the design of each new spirit's astral dress, angel, and their basic appearance. having a hand at art, I also took the time to draw what exactly I had in mind for each. after I was finished, I looked at all of the designs and approved them. I will say, I'm quite impressed about myself for doing that. surely this can aid me in seeking my career as an Animator... maybe it can, and yet maybe it won't. Lastly, I had to come up with a name for each character. that was probably the hardest part I had to do in the whole process. Coming up with names isn't really something I'm good at. sorry... bur forgetting that! I am still managing names for the last two characters, at which I though of names for the first two. good progress, right? Now with this being done, I will go to sleep. I have a HUGE test tomorrow to do, and I need to focus. so i'll try to post the first chapter by the end of this week. until then, see ya!
