GIVE ME A BETTER CAUSE TO LEAD — introduction to the story
Carmine in Bone an original story, heavily influenced by shatter me, the cruel prince, chess, tarot, and alice in wonderland.
[P. S. LOVES] right guys, here we are. lowk made this half asleep sooo tbh idk how good this is but yeah. it has like no spoilers of whats to come (i think). will probably do a mc character intro later bc 1. i love her & 2. why not? anywhoo, if anyone (cough @prettiestgirlinthemorgu3 cough) wants to know more about anything js lemme know i looove talking about this. enjoy! ❤︎
[PLOT] In simple and few words, Carmine in Bone follows a human girl waking up in a different world with absolutely no memory of anything before that. However, she quickly finds that what she has stumbled upon is the beginning of what could lead to a war.
[MAIN CHARACTERS] This story’s protagonist is Lilou. However, Orpheus, Nicasia, and Rosary are characters that play very big parts, as well as have their own plot lines all tied to Lilou, and there are a few chapters with each of their pov.
[CHESS PIECES] Each character, like the tarot cards, are assigned a chess piece. This is because the land itself is meant to resemble a chess board, and so they must each fill a role.
KINGS: Isaac Draltingon— the red king; Vlad Levesqueet— the silver king. In chess, the king is the most important piece. It moves 1 square in any direction, but can’t move into danger. QUEENS: Meris Draltingon— the red queen; Eunomia Levsqueet— the silver queen. In chess, the queen is the most powerful piece. It moves any number of squares in any direction.
ROOKS: Raeven Draltingon— princess of the red kingdom; Daphneé Levsqueet— princess of the silver kingdom. The rook moves in a straight line. BISHOPS: Nicasia Levesqueet— princess of the silver kingdom; Orpheus Draltingon— prince of the red kingdom. Eilieze Brontuo— next in line after Nicasia; Mialiq Dregonts— next in line after Orpheus. The bishops move diagonally as dar as possible.
KNIGHTS: Lilou Fern— knight of the silver kingdom; Lucien Stimmons— knight of the silver kingdom. Belladonna Mounroe— knight of the red kingdom; Victoré Lighoun— knight of the red kingdom. Knights can only move in an ‘L’ shape, but they can jump over pieces.
PAWNS: Esmé Stimmons; Naia Buntor; Emmeline Jontres; Runa Wright; Sylas Thronty; Dmitri Etherma; Azael Fraspre; Everett Plouis— the court of the silver kingdom. Koko Bentte; Margarette Geren; Felix Spajer; Ravenna Vinkten; Mylo Naik; Cassian Ridley; Ivory Ryder; Aeolus Ryder— the court of the red kingdom. They can move forward, and attacks/captures are diagonal moves.
[MAJOR ARCANA] There is a more explanatory post of this on my blog but basically each character is assigned a tarot card and their meanings (reversed&upright) signify character traits.
Mylo Naik— (0) the Fool; Princess Daphneé Levsqueet— (I) the Magician; Princess Raeven Draltingon— (II) the High Priestess; Koko Bentte— (III) the Empress; Felix Spajer— (IV) the Emperor; Princess Nicasia Levsqueet— (V) the Hierophant; Emmeline Jontres— (VI) the Lovers; Queen Eunomia Levsqueet— (VII) the Chariot; Lilou Fern— (VIII) Strength; Queen Meris Draltingon— (IX) the Hermit; Sylas Thronty— (X) the Wheel of Fortune; Naia Buntor— (XI) Justice; Belladonna Estelle Mounroe— (XII) the Hangman; Victoré Lighoun— (XIII) Death; Esmé Stimmons— (XIV) Temperance; Prince Orpheus Drattingon— (XV) the Devil; Margarette Geren— (XVI) the Tower; Ravenna Vinkten— (XVII) the Star; Runa Wright— (XVIII) the Moon; St. Rosary Reulaia— (XIX) the Sun; Lucien Stimmons— (XX) Judgement; Dmitri Etherma— (XXI) the World.
[THE WORLD ITSELF] The land of Frayeltek is divided into two kingdoms— Kináke; the silver kingdom, and Liztrat; the red kingdom. The land is divided into 64 sections, like a chess board— 32 sectors for the red kingdom to govern and 32 sectors for the silver kingdom to govern.
There are competitions that happen among the children of the mayors of the cities and towns each time the prince or princess begins to be trained toward taking the crown, as those children will be the ones who become part of the court that lives within the palace and helps take bigger decisions with the monarch. Court members usually get recognition among royals, leading them to often marry into royalty from not just their own kingdoms but neighboring kingdoms as well. The courts contain the people closest and most trusted by the rulers of the land.
Magic was not meant to be a rare thing. It is something natural that is practically in the air— something that most people have the ability to manipulate, but as magic doesn’t like being tied down it must be released. People used to be born with the power to do this, having their own inner magic as a means to make it easier. However, being born with an unnatural ability isn’t as common as it used to be, magic slowly detaching itself from the land and its citizens. As being born with magic becomes rarer, it is more likely that someone who has magic be picked to be of the court of the future ruler than someone who doesn’t.
Much like Wonderland, the way— or at least, the known way— to go to Frayeltek, is a rabbit hole. Well, any hols that can travel through dimensions, as it is in another dimension that exists in a different pocket of time and the universe. Frayeltek is only one of the countries in this world, however it is the main setting of this story, the other countries only mentioned briefly in passing, at least for the time being.
Creating a device that use LED lights as a medium to cooperate with music, use Arduino to connect, collaborate with people's live dance or interaction.
The idea is rich and the rendering effect will be very good, which uses sensors to connect music and lights together, and there is also a combination of dance interaction. However, the form of live performance is more difficult to present this year. In addition, there are many works of this type, and it is difficult to be special and attract attention.
We have to submit the Chapter one of our Life And Applied Science Investigatory Project. It is due on Wednesday and until now I haven't started anything. Too lazy to do it. I hate it. Can anyone help me please. My brain is not working today, it's so tired because of mountains of schoolworks we did last week. My brain want some rest. It keeps on telling me to sleep. What should I do, I have to work on my chapter 1?
Aha! I'll just watch Super Junior videos while working on it.
