Ha! I just knew B. stood for Beatrice :shifty: I'm really curious as to how your version of Trish will turn out, since the original Trish has never exactly been one of my favorite chracters. But up to this point your version seems a lot more likeable :>
Yeah, I was hopin' someone would catch her last name "Portinari," since Beatrice Portinari is the full name of the Beatrice Dante Alighieri loved (Where Beatrice in the Divine Comedy, and Trish from DMC, comes from).
Good to hear that she's a decently likable character, although we haven't seen her do too much yet. Who knows, my ideas could end up making her a total byitch. We'll have to see
I love your descriptons of Dante's time in the Lapis Manalis Asylum (amazing name choice, btw), like, I didn't think that it was even possible, but you made it even more regrettable that nothing of his time there was mentioned in the game.
Yeah, it was a big regret of mine. I like the Dante we have, but I was interested to see what they had originally presented. At least it got a passing mention so we
know stuff happened, but I suppose it would have really sorta detracted from plot DmC had with saving humanity if they tried to elaborate on it. It sorta works out the way things turned out in DmC that now Dante along with humankind are struggling to their feet. In effect, the disaster area that became of Silver Sacks, and the effects that ripple out from it and Mundus' demise puts Dante and the whole of humanity in the same place, starting anew, dealing with whatever needs to be dealt with. Humanity is getting itself righted, and Dante is trying to become its champion, but he's struggling just as they are.
There are also other things afoot, like the Order's turf war with the demons, trying to prevent the crippled city from falling back into their hands, as well as some...other things >.>
Especially with Minos' voice echoing inside Dante's head and all that, it just really adds to his character, in a way, because it wonderfully shows that, despite the way he acts, these times didn't just pass him by without a scratch.
That was the aim :3 It's another nice challenge, and makes this Dante a little more dynamic that the classic, who doesn't usually show that he's phased by anything. It's easier to characterize DmC Dante, and there's still so much more for him to experience as person, and as humanity's champion.
Also loved that mention of the pink neon sign~ A wonderful little nod to the original series - NT could really learn something from you
:blush: Thank you. It warms my heart to hear such praise, from all of you guys. Writing has been my dream, and I'm very critical of myself. I try to be as humble as possible, but I guess it sorta shifted into never seeing my work as something that's going to be truly entertaining for others.
Writing this is certainly a great exercise, because I get to meld whatever ideas I have with NT's concepts, which is a nice change of pace from me just working wholly on
my own next project, because I get to keep the creativity of writing going, keep up the
groove, but I get to work on something else that's less intensive, and more just for fun.
Either way, I'm glad people are enjoying it, and as long as you do, I'll keep on writing it. Be sure to tell your friends!
Maybe Ninja Theory and Capcom
