Your character's life as a TV series

[Arette]

So, if a TV series was made with your character as THE main protagonist, how would you divide her life into Seasons. What would have been the climatic last episodes of the seasons and in which season would their lives be now?

 

Hehe, and what would be the title of the series?

 

For my characters:

 

Sahra: She is still in her season 1. The climax episode could be her Raising to a Tower Guard.

 

Series names: *grins* If Sahra could decide, it would be 'The Legendary Journeys of Sahra' or maybe 'The Warrior Princess Sahra'. More accurate would be 'Much Ado About Nothing' though :P In this case I can't decide yet. The 2nd season will change the tone of the series entirely.

 

Mina: Strangely enough I have done some timeline hopping with her. I am still doing the 1st season (her time as a Dreadlady initiate) but I have also done a big RP with her that is set to her season 2 where she finally realises who she has loved all along.

 

Series name: If we focused on the whole family, the name could simply be 'The Daemeaus'. For more Mina centered story it could be 'Mina, Interrupted' or... I don't know. Can't come up with a punchy name.

 

Iussi: He is in his 3rd Season now, I think. 1st season was the Trainee time and ended to the eloping with Telcia and returning to Tar Valon to battle the trollocs. 2nd season would explore him being a male channeler and kept apart from his family and still having faith in the WT. Would end with reunion with Telcia and rescuing their children. 3rd season would start with a comedy episode about Iussi and Telcia doing completely unsuitable works just because they thought the other expected it. Then it would  be (hopefully) politicking  through horse racing circles and end with the Bowl of Winds Major RP.

 

Series name: 'When Iussi met Telcia' or something like that.

 

Arette: Maybe she would be in her 3rd season too. I would skip her boring N&A time entirely and likely start from the Keeper time when really interesting stuff started happening. I might even skip her years as a normal sister and show them as Lost style flashbacks when the watchers are introduced to the characters she meets in her later days. This season would get gloomier and doomier toward the end as the characters know that there is nothing they can do to stop the professional downward spiral and that it is necessary. The messes of personal life only make the situation worse. The season climax would be the Deposal and Stilling of Karana and the beginning of her exile.

 

2nd season: There would be a bit of jump forward in the timeline and this season would see her reunion with Con, the rescue of Telcia's children, move to Illian, life there and end up with the Laurel Crown RP and killing of the Forsaken. Since her arc is currently so action packed, the 3rd season could well end up with the Last Battle and cover all the rest of the RPs I will do with her.

 

Series name: To continue on the Shakespearian line, it could be 'The Taming of the Shrew' ;) Honestly, I still have no idea.

 

Kudos if you read this far *grins* Please share the stories of your characters!

Oh wow, not sure ...

 

Cari's RP life has some large gaps of undefined events so I'm not sure where a good starting point would be probably Just before her turning to the darkside.  And let season 1 end with a cliff hanger of Mat and Raeyn fighting the dagger away from Mat's chest as she tries to kill herself.

 

Second season would probably end with the birth of her first son.

 

Third season probably should end with meeting the love of her life.

 

Fourth season a good stopping point would be with her almost getting caught after going on a murderous rampage through Tar Valon.

 

Fifth season would probably end with losing the love of her life lol (her daughter being born at the begining of the season)

 

Okay really long life here lol..

 

Sixth season would probably end her stop in Arad Doman to give birth to the twins

 

Season seven would need to jump several years into the future as there really is not enough preplanned episodes to carry a season off.  Would start off 9 years after the twins were born and probably end with the bubble of evil tragedy on the ranch.

 

Eight Season would probably end with Yearn showing up unexpectedly on the Ranch.

 

So I guess that would mean we'd be in season nine, with maybe one or two more seasons left in her but I doubt I can kill her off so we'll see.

 

As far as a series title that's difficult.  It would have to be something sinister/dark being she is a darkfriend and an assassin lol. "The Shadow's Way" nah ... but that's the only thing I can think of lol....

Hmm.. this is certainly odd to think about..

 

Cairma is possibly in her 5th season. But since i'm bouncing back and forth a fair bit.. (yay for predetermined timelines) This is also, by far, my favorite storylines on DM.

1 - Arrival at the Tower. It ends the first time she meets "it". The show gets cancelled for the lack of watchers.

2 - A different Director comes in and introduces new characters, giving it a different spin. The Show takes off and does very well. The season ends after her first meeting with Jaydena. The last scene - Them both about to drown themselves..

3 - We meet up with Fior and Cairma starts to train a little more and more. The series takes an interestign Love twist as she hide and denies any feelings for Aran. It becomes a little painful as we watch this toil back and forth. Climax of this story arch is Adalon Tower, and it ends with Romance.

4 - Sadely Roomservice starts this Storyarch, but it is quickly replaced by the AP Test. This is the current Season I'm RPing her through, so some will have to wait and read it.. ;)

5 - After Jamie.. Just before Main Timeline.

6 - Final Season. Light knows how it will end.

 

As for a title, I'm going to pull from my love of J-Drama and say "Anego" or "Karma" and her struggle to understand why she fights and loves.

 

 

Maegan is in her 3rd Season, 4th will be the final Battle and the 2 season is unwritten. Much of Maegan is a mystery in the Second season as the third starts to pick up more and more readers. If i were to go with a shakespearean title it would either be one of the Richard plays, or Measure for Measure. Hard to say if she's a Comedy or a Tragedy. ;)

 

 

I'll have to think on the others.... :)

[Guest Estel]

Isha-  Isha's plotline would be fast-paced and fairly dark. Probably titled Chronicals of Insanity, seasons two and three would likely end up rated 18A for torture, violence, etc.

 

Season 1: Definitely starting with him arriving at the BT.  First half of the season would detail his training with Vaerraent and his worry over his mentor's Taint.  At some point, tear-streaked episode where Vaerry disappears and Isha immediately knows why.  Second half of the season would be devoted to meeting and training Linten.  The Linten's attitude change when he meets Onyx.  Final episode: cliff hanger Isha leaving Linten on the Blightborder with the ultimatum of whether or not to return with him.

 

Season 2: Opens with Isha crying because Linten never returned.  Season will skim over Isha's promotion to Asha'man and then Attack leader because nothing really happens except the Band stuff (and most of that would be detailed in Carnhain's show).  Whereas season 1 and first half of season 2 would be more drama-type, second half of season two would be a horror/thriller combo.  Last number of episodes devoted to the Isha-Aginor stuffs.  Season ends with two hour special- wrestle with Trolloc, rescue by BTers and Aggi's death.

 

Season 3 (Final Season): Opens with the return of Linten and the twisted changes that's about.  Season three keeps the thriller/horror theme with the start of Watchers.  Season mostly devoted to Isha's mental breakdown and his succumbing to the Taint and Voice which were introduced mid-2nd Season.  Third-last episode ends in cliff-hanger where Isha learns what Linten's did to Lavinya.  second-last episode two-hour special- Isha's complete decent to madness, Burning himself hour and being captured by the WT.

 

Final episode two-hour special- Conversations with various Aes Sedai in the bowels of the WT (his grandmother Estel included) as well as torture sessions with Faile.  Ends with his "mercy kill" from Eqwina.

 

*is it bad that I can probably detail out each episode by name and what happens? ;)

 

... umm...I'll do the other chars later

[Quibby]

Umm... Wow... This one could be interesting...

 

Mehrin

 

Season 1- This one would begin with his arrival with the Band, making some friends, and losing said friends.  Season finale would be the battle against the Seanchan at Bandar Eban.

 

Season 2- It would open with Mehrin's promotion to sergeant and the cleanup after the afore-mentioned battle, and would end with him falling in love.  In the same timeframe, he would see the command of the Band change hands from Ehlana to Cabroci.

 

Season 3- This would begin with Mehrin (still a sergeant) taking charge of a rather rowdy bunch of recruits and trying to whip them into shape, and it would end on a cliffhanger after a fight with a Fade that didn't turn out so well for him.  Also in this time, he would see the command changing hands again, this time from Cabroci to his Undercommander, Drea.

 

Season 4- Mehrin recovers from his coma to learn that he's the Commander of the Band of the Red Hand.  Kudos all around.  However, he's been given command just before the battle of Emond's Field.  A lot of this season would be him trying to learn the ins and outs of command, leading up to the last episodes, the commencement of the battle, the battle itself, the aftermath of the battle, and the Band's departure from Emond's Field to the site of the soon-to-be constructed Citadel.  In the last episode, he'd discover the broken shards of his love's sword.

 

Season 5- As the Band's prosperity increased, we'd be watching the downward spiral of Mehrin.  This one would begin with Mehrin trying to organize the construction of the Citadel by day and drinking himself into a stupor by night.  He grows distant from the few friends that he has over the course of the season.  Partway through the construction of the Citadel, a cry for help comes from Cairhien, which is under attack by the Shaido.  The Band responds with as much haste as they can muster.  Against Mehrin's better judgment, the Band enters into an alliance with the other Aiel, under the command of the Dragon Reborn.  The finale would be the battle for Cairhien.

 

Season 6- Mehrin's alcohol abuse becomes more and more flagrant.  Meanwhile, the Black Tower begins snooping around the Citadel.  The interlopers are discovered, an alliance is formed (after much debate), and all seems fine and dandy.  That's when the Bubble of Evil triggers the second Battle at Emond's Field, against a clone Band.  Mehrin ends up battling an exact copy of his undercommander, Amon.  Season ends with Mehrin collapsing from blood loss due to the battle.

 

Season 7- Mehrin recovers back at the Citadel, generally miserable and still not letting go of the past.  During this season, Mehrin discovers just how alone he is, the last of a wave of new recruits before the battle at Bandar Eban.  Drea's return to the Band changes all this.  All of a sudden, a person who has experience running the Band has returned, and Mehrin wastes no time in recruiting her as his aide.  The arrival of a child in the Citadel, nicknamed AD by the Band, causes some tension, but nothing too serious.  Season ends with Drea convincing Mehrin to stop drinking.

 

Season 8- Renalie arrives at the Citadel.  An unknown daughter of Mehrin's, she is soon wriggling her way into his heart.  Several rather uncharacteristic episodes follow, where Mehrin tries to get used to this new life.  Season ends with alcohol withdrawal bringing on illness and a realization that Mehrin might actually love Drea.  Finale is Mehrin finally saying goodbye to his long-lost love.

 

Season 9- More father-daughter bonding, but now there's a tension in the air.  Mehrin's feeling the pressure of the command, and he's anxious to be rid of it.  The news of the death of Renalie's mother (at the hands of Asmodean, caused by her being at the wrong place at the wrong time) is no help, and Banders are sent to investigate.  However, it soon becomes apparent that this isn't the topic that they should be focusing on.  Another figure has stepped out of Mehrin's past, too.  A twin brother, Ayrik Drayven, a Dreadlord.  Having plotted his appearance for years, things are complicated by Drea and Renalie, but he sees a new opportunity.  He kidnaps Renalie, her fate now unknown.  Season ends with Mehrin and Drea leaving the Band.

 

Season 10- (in progress) Mehrin and Drea head for the home where Mehrin grew up, only to find Mehrin's foster family dead.  Their paths turn north, towards Fal Dara and Drea's family.  A rather tense round of introductions is made.  However, nobody realizes that sparks of a whole new nature are going to be flying soon...

Peaten

Season 2- Begins with his arrival to the Tower of the Black Dawn. Most of the season takes place in the Tower and goes over the beginning phases of his training as an apprentice Assassin. In the season finale, he gets revenge on the apprentice that bullied and hindered him the most, by beating him soundly in a dual.

 

Season 3- Peaten and his Master begin going out on real missions, in which Peaten gets his first kill. In the season finale, Memnoch is killed by a Myrddraal. Peaten is given his final tests as an apprenticed and is deemed worthy of the rank of Assassin.

Season 5- A short while has passed and the season begins with Peaten testing for the rank of Shar Mahdi. More killings and love conquests. He trains Xander into the full rank of Assassin. At the end of the season, Peaten challenges the Master of Combat and kills him, and with the blessing of their patron, Demandred, takes the position for his own.

 

Season 6- Goes over Peaten's rise to the top. He is widely considered the best warrior in all the Shadow, with only the Master of the Shar Mahdi Order disputing the title. In the last show of the season, Peaten kills the Master and takes that title. He is told to go to Shayol Ghul, where it is his privlage as one of the highest ranking Darkfriends in the world to speak to the Great Lord himself.

 

Season 7- Peaten changing and rearanching the Tower and its training tactics. Xander is chosen by the Masters and Demandred to take Peaten's place as Master of Combat. Many moons pass and Peaten finds himself on a mission to kill the greatest swordsman in the world, Ben Gaidin. Peaten fails and dies. In the last shot, you see Demandred walking up to him in what turns out to be the World of Dreams.

 

Season 8- Peaten learns the ins and outs of T'A'R from Demandred. When he learns to enter and exit in the flesh, he again travels to the Pit of Doom where he is transformed by the DO into Slayer. He terrorizes wolves and Aes Sedai, and rescues M'Bela, which is where we leave off.

 

Jaem

Season 5- The season of hate. Jaem hates everything and everyone, including himself and the Creator. He is in a drunken stupor. There are random fights and he meets many people in his travellings, and even meets with Forge, who helps him in his time of need. The season ends with Jaem hearing news of the Band in the Two Rivers after a great battle. Still hating himself, he goes, knowing there could be only pain there.

 

Season 6- Jaem returns to the Band and once again is the Banner Captain of the Cavalry. He meets the new command staff, who are all wary of him. Still, he proves himself to still be a competant officer and leader of men. When Mehrin leaves, Jaem is chosen to be the new Commander.

 

Season 7- is on the 2007 fall schedule

[Arath Faringal]

Lets see now.  I'm not sure what kind of title I'd give the series, but here's my season rundown.

 

Arath

 

Season 1:  Begins with Arath at his childhood home, killing his father by accident, but in self defense with Saidin.  His recruitment into the Black Tower, and ends with his raising to Dedicated.

 

Season 2:  Continues with his training at the Farm, and his quick rise to Asha'man.  Cliffhanger ending at Dumai's Wells, where in the heat of battle, Arath falls into a coma.

 

Season 3:  Arath's nightmarish awakening from his coma would make a great season premier.  Afterward he is dealing with the fact that he has been unconscious for several months, and many of his friends and acquaintances from before are now gone.  Beginning to experiment more with his abilities, he learns that he can create Ter'angreal.  He makes plans to travel to Tear and research, but is put on assignment in Illian where the season ends.

 

Season 4:  This season chroniciles Arath's first leadership assignment, heading the BT forces in Illian, restoring the rightful Queen to her position and bringing down the forsaken imposter, alongside the Band of the Red Hand, and the loyal Illian forces.  Season ends when Arath returns to the farm after the victory, and Isha Talcontar informs him that something is amiss at the Black Tower.  I love cliffhangers.

 

Season 5:  An action packed season.  Begins with the assault on Aginor who hides in the Farm.  After that is resolved, Arath resumes preparations to journey to Tear and study ter'angreal but before he can leave, the Watchers arrive and he bonds an Aes Sedai prisoner.

 

Season 6:  A lot of drama and some humor in the interactions between Arath and Serena Sedai as they both adjust to the bonding in this season.  Season begins with Arath's promotion to Attack Leader, and his final preparations to go to Tear.  Outlines for this season are still being formulated.
