General Notes

Okay, so I've finished the story from the PoV of all three major characters, and there're some notes that are, at the moment, only in existence on some looseleaf sheets of paper. So here they are! These are not, as of yet, canon, but I figured I may as well share them here. These might - and, in some cases, WILL - colour your perceptions of characters, and might/will change as the story unfolds a bit more.

Character List

Gary - Protagonist; electric super powers. Becomes terrorist.

Jesse - more major as story progresses, main character once Gary dies.

Reeves - more major as story progresses, always behind Jesse though. Government representative, incl. authority.

Anderson - pretty much only exists to die

Lucas - posts the video to YouTube, is comfort for Jesse. Maybe breakup partway as Jesse becomes more involved and more distant? Dunno.

Mindy - Gary's girlfriend. She pops up from time to time, still in love with Gary. Might actually be killed near the end, as Gary comes closer and closer to snapping? Dunno. Have largely ignored crossed out with COMPLETELY IGNORED written, but I like comic relief + death near the end better.

- Gary & Jesse live alone - their parents are gone in some way involving gov't?

Okay, so to clarify, Mr. and Mrs. Gray were both soldiers, and they were involved in something before Gary was born, possibly while she was preggo but before they knew; it's the basis for the entire section of the military that Gen Reeves heads, and it's based in the middle east somewhere. They're kept in a very large base, and occasionally let out as assassins. If they rebel, they're killed, outright. This is going to be the basis for the sequel. Shhhhh.

And, some quotes from the original 'Stories' that I decided to take out for whatever reason:

From Jesse's Story:

It was a beautiful knife. Knives in general are a wonderful combination of beauty and death, spun with simplicity. I loved it.

From Reeves' Story: This is just before his account of talking with Gary.

I had to be thankful - very thankful - that the parents were out of the picture, due to a deployment gone awry when Gary was 16, just barely old enough to take care of himself and Jesse; of course, the monthly stipend helped them keep the house and survive while Gary finished high school.

Okay, that's it. It's in smallfont in case you don't want the amazing spoilers.
