Ok gang as we all know im new. I dont have a backstory at this time. I have some conceptual ideas though.
As some of you know I am a Japanese persona at this time.... the future who knows. I believe that some have used what for lack of a better term an interdimensional gate to explain the arrival of some of the more unconventional persona types to the land.
The concept im working on is that though my character is Japanese, what if at the same time some alternate version of myself entered the above mentioned gate, and the two are combined. Ok I know im borrowing a bit from the Jet Li movie THE ONE. As well as several other stories.
Ok basically I remember wandering lost in a daze after a battle in my homeland. Perhaps I was struck alonside my hard head. Its all kind of fuzzy. I recall a shimmering light. Next thing I know im on the shores of some strange land. I know this as the all the flora and Fauna are way strange to what I'm used to. However being practical....and perhaps a bit dim...or still dazed I decide that even though Im clearly not in Kansas any more, I must make the best of the situation. Things clearly were no that good back home. Why else would I be wondering around dazed in the woods.
So I set out to see what I can find. But a strange thing seems to be happening. I find myself having dreams. and flashbacks. Things that seem very real... but can't be........can they.
I see myself or at least someone that looks like me in a strange plaid hakama......except it doesnt have actual legs....and is much too short. Weilding axes. Their is a very strange melancholy sort of eerie screetching sort of music. Weird "foods" that look like stuffed animal intestines. Ok to clarify, my thinking is what if the other version of me that entered the gate was celtic, and now the two versions have been melded. I know there are many things to be filled in here and figured out. Such as did the two become one...or are there still two but we each have some of the different traits and memories of the other?
Im not sure where I may go with this. I seem to have a pretty good imagination, however Im never have been much of a writer. Filling in details was not something I was good at. Maybe im more of a conceptualizer.... Any way thought I would throw this out there, see what you all think of it. I welcome any and all input. There are clearly some very good writers amongs this group. And People who have been doing this sort of thing much longer that me. The input is welcome, even if its to tell me its a very stupid concept or that there is no way to make it work in Dag.
