Jan. 9th, 2003 02:20 pmI keep getting this idea in my head. Not sure if I want to write it out as a story, or a webcomic, or something.
Okay, there's a guy. A little nice, a little angry, a little hurt, a little mean, a little sweet. Using the tentative name of Troy for now.
A lot like me. I know that.
So, he goes through a regular day, we'll call Day Zero. And, that night, this man gets visitors.
He is told the following things by these visitors:
Exactly one month from now, there will be some event (Picture the New Universe's White Event, or some other cataclysm), which will grant some people powers. Troy will be one of them.
The visitors are from the future. Ine one month, Troy will receive vast powers from this cataclysm. Within six months of that point, he goes completely insane and is the most feared villain on the planet, and the visitors from the future are a small team of assembled super-types who have no idea how to stop the mad world-conqueror.
So, they went back in time to get the one person who could get inside the evil Troy's mind. Namely, Troy himself, somewhere earlier in life, but close enough of an age to the one they know.
It's an interesting idea: Can Troy prevent his own self-destruction? Can he deal with what he will/might one day become? Does he know how to stop his twisted future self? And...what turn of events caused this descent into evil in the first place?
Ok, did that make any sense? Does it sound at all interesting?
