Xana's Story
Chapter 11: Authors note's
So I decided to do some author notes to give you a little more in depth look at Xana's story and what made it come to life and so I could give my characters some detail
Xana's story began as a small idea that I had when I was thinking about things that could happen if you change Code Lyoko slightly then I began writing the beginning and stopped for a while a lot of the ideas for Xana's story didn't take flight until a couple of months ago when I was going over some of my ideas for other stories because I write the beginning of stories and leave them and have a look at them once I finish a story
Chapter one: New Hero's
Chapter one was created and left for a while as less than a page then I asked a friend of mine (Franken-Xana) to design some monsters he came up with three monsters that hadn't gotten into his story Code Genesis
1.) Stalkers - they look like mummies, and even their faces are bandaged up. Their only weapons are wrapping their enemies up in bandages, and creating sandstroms.
Originally axed because they were slow; best suited to attack in large numbers in a crowded area, or the desert!
2.) Stingrays - No relation to the Flying Mantas. The Stingrays are smaller than the Mantas, but pack a heavier punch! They have a laser tail, as well as a laser cannon at the mouth that does up to 40 points of damage with one hit!
Originally axed because they were too much like the Mantas; best suited for aerial and aquatic sneak attacks - can both swim and fly!
3.) Raptors - Based off of the raptor dinosaurs. Very fast and has both razor sharp claws as well as eye lasers. Travels in groups of five.
Then while I was at school I came up with the Kay-Ohs the flying bombers which are basically flying cans capable of dropping bombs they were like detonators
Riya is also introduced as the first enemy capable of using twin swords and firing a bow quite well though with enemy's, come heroes as well which is the whole idea of this chapter
Andy Matthews
Andy is carefree and likes to relax rather than be in class he is the a major help during battle as a lot of stuff revolves around him since he is the first one to fight Riya outside of Lyoko and has the only romantic story line inside the story at the moment with Kelly
Andy usually wears a grey jacket, blue top, denim pants and trainers and is very lazy though slightly romantic he doesn't take school work to seriously but he is quite an athlete
In Lyoko Andy wears a black all body suit with areas that change colours to allow him to not be seen as easily in Lyoko Andy's power and weapons are one and the same he can control the ground even water but only when he's in the ice sector he hasn't used his powers much in an offensive way just a defensive way usually as a shield or a trap for enemies
Kelly Cheshire
Kelly is the clumsy one of the team she blurted out that she and Grace followed the boys and pressed the "return to the past button" by accident she is a slightly minor character as she hasn't had much of any thing happening except with Andy
Kelly's last name is inspired by her look on Lyoko since she reminded me of the Cheshire cat off Alice in wonderland
Kelly usually wears a white shirt with blue sleeves and a long brown or black skirt because she is usually sitting with Andy in the woods relaxing and has a slight thing about her appearance
In Lyoko Kelly looks quite like Odd except her mid-drift is not covered by fur which makes her look quite fashionable her weapons are the quills she can produce from any where on the outside her body (and I mean anywhere which will come up in the other story) her powers are a sudden increase in ability's like speed, strength and aggression (this version I dubbed super Kelly) it has tree levels each with it's own result
Level 1. Kelly loses control of her self for a sort time and becomes powerful
Level 2. Kelly becomes extraordinarily aggressive and her powers triple especially her speed when she moves quickly but she cant slow down easily Kelly's fur also becomes blood red showing her blood lust (this level is not good as Kelly will attack rapidly and this can easily get her into trouble the whole idea of this is to show Kelly's other side instead of a carefree happy person she becomes dangerous and wants to fight)
Level 3. this level hasn't been shown but it's even more dangerous Kelly's powers will go into overdrive level three will be shown in "Riya's Journey" the sequel of Xana's Story
Grace Winter
Grace is the most intelligent of the group and the most responsible usually the voice of reason and the outside Lyoko team leader Grace stands up for most people and always has a plan to get the team out of trouble
Grace's last name comes from the fact Dawn of War Winter Assault was next to me when I was writing and I couldn't think of anything to have as her last name
Even though it seems that only Andy and Kelly have had romance Grace has slightly shown sparks with Xana and John but the question is who she will want to go out with
Grace usually wears a blue shirt with black pants and slip on shoes but she is usually is in her room so it's more for when she's in class or has to go to the factory
In Lyoko Grace looks like a Angel but wears armour and has large wings allowing her to fly Grace's powers haven't been discussed much her power is while in flight she can become quicker even if she is only a few centimetres off the ground Grace's weapon is a spear which has proven effective against Riya and the Black Rectangle Cannon (name in progress)
John Hike
John is second in command outside Lyoko usually taking orders from Grace and commander for the team when inside Lyoko John shows a lot of maturity and intelligence though he is the complete opposite to Andy often acting serious while Andy will be joking around
John usually wears a green shirt and a black sleeveless jacket and tan pants and like Andy is an athlete and knows quite a bit about technology and biology but he doesn't use that knowledge much
In Lyoko John has a suit of armour but with out the helmet though this often slows him down so his power makes up for that while John is fighting he becomes faster and stronger which has been a great help in battles against Riya and against large amounts of monsters
Riya Duo (Grace picked it for Riya's enrolment at Kadic)
Riya is the enemy for most of the story and is a very good fighter which John and Andy found out when they took her on two on one when Riya comes to earth she shows a large amount of intelligence though she is the youngest member of the team she is quite mature though a slight hot head Riya can be counted on in battle
Riya usually wears a short blue dress with black pants and trainers though this is what she is wearing when she steps out of the scanners
In Lyoko Riya wears light battle armour over her arms, legs and chest with normal clothing on underneath this allows her to move easily and her vital points are covered as well. Riya's weapon is a bow which changes into two swords while in Lyoko Riya becomes older and changes completely she becomes at least three years older when she goes into Lyoko
Riya's powers are slightly numerous she can control the monsters on Lyoko and can transport from region to region easily while fighting against the team she used her transportation power to move from Earth to Lyoko but it is unknown whether she can still use it since her materialization
Riya also has a second version of herself in side her mind that helps her when she is in trouble but it's unknown why this other version appeared
Xana
Xana is the teams link to Lyoko he is able to deactivate the towers in Lyoko Xana is quick thinking and quite brave when it comes to his friends at first he had trouble sensing the towers in Lyoko but when Riya awoke Xana sensed the tower activating for the first time but it's still unsure whether he can actually sense them or it was because he was very close to the tower when it activated
In Lyoko Xana wears a costume similar to Aelita's from the original Code Lyoko but it's black and red Xana's weapon is a scythe that Grace created to help in battles but it was broken in half by Riya during a fight and he began using one half as a defence and the other to attack during another battle Xana had created a chain linking the two and began using it as a thrown weapon and fixed it back up so he could use it as a scythe as well
Xana acts cocky though and this makes his fighting bad because he underestimates the enemy but he is a good fighter when he concentrates or if something important is on the line like when he was protecting Riya
Next Chapter will be the second authors notes and will be about the chapters rather than the characters
