F A L L I N G   W I T H   B L O O D   (WIP)

Here it is, my first introduction to my junior project! I’m making an opening for a story that I have had with me since I was 9 years old. Falling with Blood is a working title, but I’ll be tagging the project as it when updating about it. The story is about our main protagonist, Ichigo who was cast out by society when he was born due to his own curse, nevertheless, he strives to prove himself to everyone that he is worthy. He is actively tried to help the community that shunned him out, by fighting the villain Ikari who seeks to destroy them. Along with his misfit pack, he learns to fight for himself and discover the mysteries that cursed him in the first place. 

The next post will be introducing our characters and many more! I hope you enjoy!

Questions About Character Dynamics

What is their relationship?

Dr. Chen created Cookbot. As a result, there is a semblance of a mother + son relationship. Dr. Chen is very proud of her creation, almost floored that Cookbot becomes sentient. While letting him go seems strange considering how attached she is to the robot, she finds it similar to when a child leaves their parents to go be an adult. Cookbot thinks the absolute world of Dr. Chen and is grateful for his existence. Within the context of the restaurant the two are coworkers, so interaction has gotten brief.

What is each character’s status?

Because Cookbot is a robot programmed to listen to the functions put out by Dr. Chen’s watch and Dr. Chen herself, she has power over him. It’s not a malicious relationship; Dr. Chen would technically be Cookbot’s manager if he were human. There is no power struggle between the characters until the climax of the story, after Dr. Chen denies Cookbot’s request to go home with her. Realizing that he couldn’t achieve his goals through the powers that be, Cook acts out in an aggressive and assertive manner, jumping out of a window to find answers. In that moment Cook has power over himself for the first time. Dr. Chen is still in control as she considers formatting Cookbot, but ultimately concedes power.

What do they want from each other?

Cookbot wants information about the outside world from Dr. Chen, while Dr. Chen wants Cookbot to do his job. At the end of the story, Dr. Chen wants Cook to enjoy his newfound freedom.

Who is the story about?

Based on how much Cook’s character arcs throughout the story, I would say this is his story. Although Dr. Chen has the power in the story and is the first one introduced to the audience, her arc isn’t as drastic -- it doesn’t really start until the end of the story. Cook’s actions are what inspire Dr. Chen to change, which suggests that she isn’t as important as him.
