So I sat myself down and thought through my characters and general idea, and I wanted other writers/rpers to throw in their two cents!
Title: VOODOO IN STEREO
[I?m a little married to this title, but I?m willing to change it if something better comes up]
Characters:
MAIN CHARACTERS
Kevin Lewis: Your hero, he is a hipster-ish sort who makes money by drawing gig posters for shitty bands, selling prints on Etsy, and freelance graphic design. He?s about 23 years old and lives in an apartment with his college roommate, Archie. His hobbies include smoking, loitering, and tinkering with old electronics. He comes into possession of the Boombox, all because he wants to impress Casey, who barely notices his advances. He and Boombox Jones have to work as a team in order to defeat the obstacles that are thrown at him.
BOOMBOX JONES: A displaced soul that inhabits a boombox that Kevin comes across. He?s not the nicest person, and he won?t hesitate to show it, so it?s really no surprise that he would end up in a piece of obsolete tech. Placed there by a jilted ex who just so happened to be a Witch, he uses Kevin as his body by-proxy to move himself around and get closer to getting his original body back. However, in order to break the spell, the Witch has to die.
SECONDARY CHARACTERS
Casey Allen: Cute but oblivious, Casey is a server at the Midnite Bite diner and one of Kevin?s friends from college. Casey made the fatal error of graduating with a BA in English, and the job market has not been kind. She aspires to be a best-selling YA author, and has submitted to several publishers, but so far, she?s come up empty. She?s bubbly and friendly and poor Kevin wants her BAD.
Archie [lastnamepending]: Kevin?s roommate and best friend. He works at a call center, even though he graduated with a film studies degree. While Boombox Jones appears to not like Kevin, he simply adores Archie and together they give the artist a hard fucking time. He inevitably gets swept up into this whole mess with Kevin and Boombox.
ANTAGONISTS
Phillip Tweedle: A smug-faced, ridiculously popular YA fiction writer who?s made bank with his vampire romance novels. He is dating Casey, much to Kevin?s dismay, and is constantly promising her that he will get her an ?in? with his publisher. [There?s more to him, but I want to leave that as a surprise.]
THE WITCH (as of yet unnamed): Boombox Jones? ex-girlfriend, who essentially went psychobitch after he tried to dump her. She?s fairly powerful, and becomes aware that Boombox is looking for some sort of revenge. She uses a series of pawns and schemes to keep this from happening, trying to take Kevin out so Boombox is left without any proxy body. She?s already done this once before several years ago.
GENERAL:
Kevin and Boombox fight increasingly more vicious cronies of The Witch in order to get Boombox?s body back. Boombox can draw spiritual energy from sound energy, so he is only so powerful based on what music is playing through his vessel. The mood and even lyrics of the song determine what kind of powers he can manifest. In order to have any successful battle, the music has to change pretty rapidly, and so most of the sound energy Boombox needs to fight comes from mixtapes that Kevin puts together. Mixtapes are cool, right?
Hipsters and boomboxes.
It has a bit of a Scott Pilgrim feel, but I don?t want it to be Scott Pilgrim. I?m afraid it?ll be too much like Scott Pilgrim with ghosts.
