Sorry for having to ask you guys. Doubar: :)Me and Mel are related in real life. She was the one who introduced me to Distant Lands because she had been following the site for a while. For the second part, it's a little sketchy. I had planned for my character to have been kidnapped from her village as a child by slave traders who then who would have auctioned her off, so she would be a slave. I had also planned for her to escape. But apparently someone has something similar and I will need to go back and have a look. But after her escape I had a planned for her to become a weapons dealer and would came into contact with the crew when they needed weapons. |

@tal: Aw, thank you, dear.  So seems I got the being related part wrong. I mean, I knew you are sisters, but somehow I thought you were going to have your characters being related here, too. x) Sorry, for messing up.  And, aye, unfortunately Kriss has a similar background story so the slave thing would in deed be a bit redundant.  Hum, but - this is just me having some idea - what about this version: Tal was very close to her father/mother (I guess the other part died when she was still a toddler, right?), but after he/she died (let it be from illness or from war), she had been taken up by other people - relatives or strangers. However. They didn't treat her nice. Even though she always tried to be friendly, her step-parents despised her and treated her like a simple servant (I know I know, this sounds a bit like Cinderella or Harry Potter, but an author on fanfic.net used a similar thing for a fic once and it worked rather well). Finally, at the age of 16 (or whatever you want) she flees and starts to live on her own. She could have stopped by at different towns - learning different things and eventually becoming a skilled fighter who also knows how to make her own weapons. Her way might finally have lead to Basra and that's where we could start off. Well, like I said: just an idea of course.  |

alex: Aya, wise choice for this fic is simply brilliant and it's just too sad that obviously no one's ever going to get to read the end of it.

Well, there were a lot of slaves back then, but how about having her be one of the captives of a conquered village? Or how about her being like Mustapha? I have to chuckle at the image of her asking, "Say something about my mother." ;D |
