More under the cut.
He was originally named Marzi Pan but then I decided to just keep it at Marzi. I think I came up with him in 2020 or so? I wanted to write about the Glibberspring Caldera milk slimes first (long story, will be explained in the second installment of Marzipan), but I was having too hard a time making an actual story out of it.
So I dialed it back a bit and went on to make something like a plot. Mostly just fucking, but there's a progression from Point A to Point B (or perhaps Tab A to Slot B) and a whole lot of characters just tumbled out from there. Maybe I'll talk about them some other Saturday!
Anyway: Marzi. He's a catboy adventurer and doesn't have a formalized "class" yet because he's too low level to get proper training for it at the moment. The setting he's in is sort of videogamey, where they have guilds and levels and quests and all that; quest rewards (mostly money or miscellaneous treasure) go towards guild maintenance, such as paying for trainers, and adventurers are who you hire for odd jobs too dangerous for someone more specialized.
Marzi's inexperience also means he makes some bad decisions, which I have a lot of fun with. The most character defining in the first act I think is trying to steal a farmer's cow to sell and then pay the farmer back once he's got adventurer levels. It doesn't go according to plan at all, but the farmer fucks him and all is well.
It's not a particularly deep story. Marzi kind of is though, after a fashion. (Was that too corny?)
I've been working on the series on and off since 2020 until now, but it's only now that I got the first part published on smashwords. Here it is! Note that it's NSFW.
Seeing as I haven't gotten very far in writing yet of course, this means there are a lot of different directions Marzi could go in; I plan to have the story after the next one voted on as well. Someday. Hopefully someday soon!
Anyway this next poll is only running for a day so I'll have more time to actually write.
