Draginon he/him Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 This is a little info on a story idea I have. Pretty much there are these 12 ancient Warriors that pick people whenever a source of evil is coming or has already arrived on Earth. In this story all 12 Warriors pick hosts, something that is very rare since usually only a couple ever activate. Here's the 12 picked picked: The Wolf- a gay 20 year old First Nations man The Dragon- a 24 year old Welsh Transman The Tiger- a 16 year old Kurdish boy from Northern Europe The Lion- a 35 year old black man from the American South The Goblin- a 21 year old Scandinavian man The Snake- a 45 year old Aboriginal man The Mermaid- a 15 year old Ukrainian girl The Shark- a 19 year old Polynesian man The Orc- a 30 year old Māori man The Oni- a 25 year old man of Japanese descent from San Francisco The Kitsune- a 17 year old Japanese boy The Bear- a 51 year old Russian man I chose these types of people as 1) a reaction to whitewashing in film and 2) a desire to write a story where the heroes aren't all white Americans. I went with the logic that the Warriors have been around for centuries and thus have their chosen regions for worthy candidates, which excludes the Americas almost exclusively since the only people considered are descendants of people from a chosen area (The Oni for example only picks those who are Japanese or has Japanese ancestry) or First Nations. As for the gender imbalance it has to do with how the Warriors are kind of old fashioned. The conditions needed are: The Wolf - a warrior from a pure blooded First Nations or Georgia. Gender doesn't matter. The Dragon - has to be from the British Isles or China. Always picks men. The Dragon picking a transman surprises everyone, showing he doesn't care for the physical body, just the spirit. The Tiger - people and descendants of the Middle Eat and Indian subcontinent. Gender doesn't matter. The Lion - picks only from a handful of ancient tribes from Africa and those descended from them. Gender doesn't matter. The Goblin - picks from the Nordic region. Gender doesn't matter. The Snake - picks from Australia. Gender doesn't matter. The Mermaid - picks those with beautiful voices from seafaring towns. Despite being feminine the gender doesn't matter, though has a preference for women. The Shark - picks Pacific Islanders. Gender doesn't matter. The Orc - picks from England and New Zealand (it's a LOTR reference ) Gender doesn't matter. The Oni - only picks young men from Japan or has Japanese ancestry. The Kitsune - only picks from one particular Japanese family. If the family dies out then this Warrior will never activate again. The Bear - picks grizzled or tough people. The only one not tied down to a region of the world or to a group of people. What do you guys think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
