Squeezing in a quick word before I have to eat. ^^ Okay, I have more ideas--naturally--but I figured I'd start with two. Let me know if either of these interest you guys. If not, I can type up more.
The first is a bit longer, since I actually specified individual roles and there is a little vague backstory with characters.
~Juxtaposed~A detection agency famous for solving the insolvable; yet, also infamous for a well concealed secret. Thereās two sides of this story, that of Delilah Industries, and that of DEAD. The acronym of:
Delilah
Encounters
Assassin
Detectives
The name, well, thatās a story of its ownā¦
When 1ās family is murdered, she wants nothing more than to know who did it and why. But, as the case becomes cold and the statute of limitations draws near, she must take matters into her own hands. Or rather, the hands of Delilah Industriesā famed detective, 2. The detective takes on the case, only to discover that it was HIM that killed 1ās familyāa job he was hired to execute over 3 years prior by an anonymous client. Struggling with the consequence of seeing the crimeās effect on 1, 2 debates the choices heās made in life and wonders whether to inform 1 of the truth or cover his ass.
As if that wasnāt enough, tensions within the agency are growing. While 2ās boss, 3, almost always hated him and wanted him dead, 2 finally made a move to try and kill 3āfailing to outwit the ingenious veteran. The attempt launches an all-out civil war within the agency, making 2 and 3 the leaders of factions with the opposing leader as a target. As the assassins battle it out in the shadows of society, another force threatens the agency. A REAL detection agency is attempting to discover DEADās secret, using 4 as an undercover agent, sending her to get a job in Delilah Industries. Using her skillful ways, she becomes close with 3, something that rarely happens. It may be an act, or possibly not. Who can tell with detectives? But, when she discovers the truth, will she need to be silencedāor will she join the fight between 2 and 3? Will she become leverage in the battle between brothers?
The story of 2 and 3 and the name:
2 and 3 are relatively close in age, but 3 has been training as an assassin much longer under his uncle. Theyāre brothers. When they were teenagers, one brother fell for a girl named Delilah. They were quite enamored with each other, apparently, until the other brother betrayed his sibling, being caught in an untimely act with Delilah. To make matters worse, he killed the girl.
When their uncle started the agency 2 years prior, he had named it after their surname. But, when the uncle died and passed on everything to his nephews, one renamed the agency after Delilah to taunt and torment the other.
The second was actually inspired by a random chat. :3
You know who you are.
~The Nondescript Souls~It was meant to help them, to save them, but it only made everything worse. When the world shattered, humanity pinned its hopes on 2 individuals.
It stated with a tragic accident. Not only did it lead to the death of 2 children, it put in motion an agenda to destroy the world as it once was. An accident that ended up destroying the planetās core and annihilating the human race. Almost. 2 hours before Earth expired, the souls of the 2 deceased childrenāfound 17 years laterāwere transplanted into humanoid-cyborg-type capsules.
They survived the destruction, floating on a shattered piece of former earth until reaching a new planet. Great! Except, theyāre not alone. And the inhabitants want to capture them. Why? Who knows. Perhaps to devour them, perhaps out of fearāthey donāt really know. All they know is thereās a couple of hunters after them in a world they know nothing about.
