Part Time Villain

Ok so I’m launching my story Edgelight and I wanted to pop out with my character sheets (WIP)

It would be so awesome if you could leave a comment or ask questions about the story and I could use some (a ton) of pointers in story writing.

I’m open to joining writing communities and I have so many more things I’d love to write later on.

If you can please give it a read and tell me what you think.

Alestyna sits in a mirror in a beautiful wedding dress with the most depressed face. She is being married off to a person of mutual despise but her back is against the wall for the sake of power consolidation, the merge prize? A greater catalyst crystals and the end of a war.

Warned beforehand by her true love, Daes, that this is a death sentence and that she should run but the only thing strong enough to set her free is a power from the catalyst crystal a plan is hatched to save her life. She is punished for the thought of running away but that sets her resolve.

Daes visits her for one last time to embrace and hatch her escape. They spend this time saying their fair wells and wishes that they could have had that peaceful life. The plan is set, he vows to give her an opening and swear that he will be safe

Before she’s led to her doom, alestyna uses the plan catching all attendants in shock at her action and the catalyst crystal of the joint clans are in her hands, her radiant glowing body stops the room as a crack in the space opens pulling her into the void. As she falls through the void, and even though she looks more powerful than before, she falls crying and alone, not sure if she deserves a new world.

We wake up late in the afternoon, a man Tut wakes up in bed to the orange from a proto hightech window. He grabs his phone and he has 5 messages and 3 of them are late bill alerts the other 2 are his mother reminding him to take meat out the freezer. He gets up and gets dressed for work heading down stairs to grab his lunch and head out into a cramped barely cared for neighborhood that is swarmed with S.H.A.D.E. (Super Humans Against Devesating Events)soldiers that are similar in style but dressed in different attire. Their high tech suits and gear catches the eye, especially Tut who wanted to be like them to have a hand in helping his province rebound from its downfall but was sent to work in the factories making their gear.

After a long shift it's nearly time to go until tut makes an accident that puts his job on the line and in the end after pleading he is given a suspension and sent home. While on his way home thinking about what he is going to do when suddenly a crack in the open and out flies alestyna with the catalyst and once the crystal hits the ground, it shatters sending most of its shards across the world.

Tut tracks down the impact site and once he arrives he finds alestyna in a crater with crystal shards around ground zero of the event, after waking her up she frantically starts to regather the shards until Tut started to help to her dismay and at that moment Tut was overwhelmed with flashes of realizations that was forced on to him, the visions of new dimensions were too powerful for him he couldn't contain his fear of facing the unrecognizable and in the physical world around him, its began to rain granite ore sideways across the earths horizon causing devastation in the city he dreams to protect.

Alestyna catches him and helps him calm down helping him control his powers in that moment. Sirens approach and after finding out that they would be in trouble if they stay and he should run but Tut kept his faith in S.H.A.D.E. praying that he could use the powers for good but once they ran test on Tuts ability all they talked about was how they could use his for infrastructure or a secret soldier, in those moments S.H.A.D.E. said too much, letting it be known that S.H.A.D.E. is the occupying force that robbing Tuts province, he remembers what alestyna tells him and he makes his escape.

After escaping tut goes into hiding and stays hidden in an abandoned messy home in the worst part of town as a manhunt is underway shutting down the city. He doesn't know what to do and he contemplates the unthinkable to spare himself from this fate thats when alestyna finds him again to stop him “if you are brave enough to face that fate into the unknown then imagine using that fearless resolve to stop what is bring you to these ends” Tut agrees to go on this mission with her, she teaches him how to use his powers, he helps her collect all the lost pieces of the catalyst crystal and together they learn how to survive in this new mode of life.

Act 2

Alestyna teaches tut about the basis of his powers while he teaches her things about the history of Edgelight. Realize a great deal of his issue is the ability to stay calm enough to stay in control of his powers in order to collect the shards

Alestyna picks up on an active shard and realizes its time to act but they ran a risk of running into S.H.A.D.E. but the thought of them getting the shards before them propelled them in action. The crisis kicks in when dealing with the crystal shard, S.H.A.D.E. starts to learn what the crystals truly are fully mobilizing to collect them and fighting Tut along the way

Show down over a particularly dangerous shard that puts Edgelight into crisis danger once S.H.A.D.E. unleashes its energy a city block was put in danger. Tut and alestyna spring into action to get to the shard before anymore damage can be done.

The treasure at the end of the ordeal is won by tut and the shard and adds it to alestyna collection making the catalyst full again, S.H.A.D.E. watches and plots to make a move.

In tuts meditation to find more shards they were ambushed and caught off guard by S.H.A.D.E. the catalyst is stolen along with alestyna who managed to help tut escape. Tut now alone enters a new trial.

Act 2 part 2

Tut realize what's fully at stake. If alestyna is placed in the same situation he was in they were gonna turn her into a soldier and with the semi complete catalyst they would have more than enough to enter a period of world domination. So he begins to train with what he has

While tut is fighting out in the streets to get to Alestyna, he stops to gain more fire power from the shards that were still lost. In S.H.A.D.E. HQ alestyna is being pressured to talk about the catalyst. Feeling like she is being reminded of her home she ran from she becomes really defiant and will not cooperate until they silenced and began to look through her memory on how to use the crystal properly soon all the soldiers became stronger mobilizing for something big.

Platoons of soldiers flood the streets blocking S.H.A.D.E. hq and they are using powers they told the citizens to stay away from and a fight between the helpless citizens and S.H.A.D.E. begins. People are getting hurt until tut steps in with his arsenal where he fights off many soldiers until wolfgang and macintosh appears. It was a hard fight, tut lost most of his arsenal but he came out victorious as he enters his place of business where he was suspended to find a tapped out brain washed alestyna and they being to fight

Tut uses the same method alestyna used to bring him back to reality and after being beaten to a pulp tut manages to break through to alestyna saving her life.

Alestyna and tut teams up and use a team attack alestyna promised to show him once he did something amazing or worth her while and they begin to destroy S.H.A.D.E. HQ tut finds the control panel to all the used and hoarded resources and programs some codes

Act 3

Commander Brine is still alive along with the most dangerous members of S.H.A.D.E. though they declared themselves victors, that thought faded once dams reopened, food and seeds delivered by drone dropped goods and packages over the city and proof that they do live in a good world/the powers that be were behind the degrading of lives across the province.

A new public service team steps up to the plate for edgelight with Tut on its team to help maintain the catalyst problem that still continues and help open the world to its new source of abundance and security. Even though its been set by a higher power and packed with people that were the problem, tut vows to keep an eye on them all, setting a new stage behind closed doors for…change.

A new era is shown to be formed, though the citizens are weary and timid for the future. Tut makes himself the example to flow through meditation like alestyna showed him to control his mind and imagination.

EDGELIGHT (WIP) ACT 1 story beats!

I recently got married 5/23/26.

May I please get some help staying on track when it comes to making my story?

When it’s time for me to get started, it’s like I think too much of the plot and end up forgetting to reference my character sheets and I think that is my biggest disconnect

I call it my main character timeline work because it’s deeply engrained in what I do for a living.

You see, I’m living the life of a modern worker by day and a member of a counter culture lead movement to infiltrate and take control of a powerful workers union.

Yeah that seems like a lot but you don’t understand what it’s like to be there, my family made there living from that hell hole for 5 generations. I’m the 5th; before i entered that place I’ve been through rougher places but I was still advised to talk to 4th generation to see what they had to say. 4th mostly avoided answering, passing off the honor of obvious trauma spilling from their thousand yard stare before they could even form a sentence. I see now, I see now. Life is not meant to be lived like this as a way to survive.

In fact being there has only made me see so many things. If I don’t do something now my life would be trapped and i nearly believed it was. Until i met the counter culture.

“Would you believe working in a union that takes a part of your check and still some how can’t stop the unfair treatment of the workers?”

“Do you realize how much time you will spend at work and never break even with bills?”

It was those few questions that made me feel like for the first time someone understood what I was saying.

How peculiar, someone so far off in age where my contemporaries have failed to inspire me this random old man who should be retired spoke to my soul for a second and made me realize I hated everything this world wants to force us to play in, to die in.

That is my main character life so far and through my teachings I’ve took my step to make my path in uniting workers in my generation to restore the power to the working class before the next workers contract or global event set upon by our mad tyrant of a king and I’ve finished my first arc gaining 122 votes to change the trajectory of workers rights in our recent election

Post election and growth results

I’ve gained allies, realized there are many others counter cultures under the same banner looking to change the world (but can we work together) I met a city elected commissioner and his daughter who was running in the same race as me and surprisingly more youthful.

In the middle of the elections I became engaged and through my studies she has been patient with me and I realized I’ve spent too much time with the effort and I must spend time with my greatest teammate at least until the summer, you see to put the cherry on top of this I’ve been selected in a raffle to go to solidarity house, the unified workers guilds resort and teaching headquarters, The bane of my counter culture groups ire.

I’m not sure how to feel about this place. In fact in all of my time researching and getting to know workers I found out quick what to and what not to say, at least too soon without support and I do admit I’ve punched too high with my first addresses to the complex of workers uncovering information that should have been long buried. I’m not sure if I even should have said what I’ve said to be honest but no time to think about that, I’ve been invited into their prestigious Hall this coming summer.

My family is shocked at how my life is progressing as if I’m in places i shouldn’t have been so soon, truthfully they are right to wonder, the reason why my life have been progressing this way, is because be beneath it all I’m following the rules of my astrology chart and numerology energy.

I know it sounds like bullshit but honestly after I learned my astrology signs, life path number and lost my mind*(Leo sun, sagittarius moon, Scorpio rising, my life path 1 and *I spent and entire year losing my mind and gained a new one with an understanding and conclusion that if we are made be god and what he created is good then at all cores of humans are good, then it’s my mission to help people remember and reconnect with that good by helping people lose their current mind)

Honestly I’m coming to a cross roads. I’m sorta shocked too, I’ve imagined being in a position to change the world and now invited into its halls not to mention a glimpse of there struggles maintaining workers rights. I know I can make a change and seeing that the guild already have the strength why not become the change from the inside. And in my current Astro chart i knew I was lined up to go an a trip and expand my learning experience so ending up in this position I know it’s made for me. I haven’t told my team yet because I know how they feel about the place but I see how I can change the world with the established power that’s facing a strike and unfair attacks from the company over heads.
