WritingCamp Nameless

STEP ONE:Write down your ideas 1. A girl from the lowest rung of society made her first kill to protect herself and out of rage and sorrow. 2. She didn’t know that it was the City Lord she killed. 3. She later discovered that the City Lord happened to be the father of the only friend she made in her entire life. STEP TWO: Draw the plot using the ideas 1. Nameless’ adoptive father was threatened and killed by the City Lord’s men when the former refused to hand her over to the man as a p*****t for a debt incurred. 2. Rage coursed through Nameless’ veins, infusing her with inhuman strength and speed enough to overpower the City Lord and kill him together with his security detail. Only when she was on the run that she found out that it was the City Lord she killed. 3. On the City Lord’s burial ceremony, she saw a familiar face leading the procession. Nameless realized she killed her best friend’s father. Initial Questions: 1. Why was Nameless’ adoptive father killed? When Nameless was six years old, her adoptive father borrowed money from one of the City Lord’s money lending agents. He was refused at first because the City Lord needs a collateral. With nothing in his name, he made use of his adoptive daughter. He promised the City Lord to send Nameless to the City Lord’s palace to serve as a p*****t for his incurred debts when the girl turns seventeen. On the eve of her seventeenth birthday, the City Lord came down to their shack to collect p*****t. Nameless is bound to a lifetime of servitude to the cruel lord for as long as she breathes. 2. How did she managed to kill a grown up man with bodyguards? Rage lent her the power to do the impossible. Nameless has this mysterious bloodline she wasn’t even aware of. When the red haze of rage left her mind, Nameless has slaughtered all those who were present and had a hand in killing her adoptive father that night. She didn’t even realized it was the City Lord she killed, not until she was on the run from the authorities. 3. What lead her to the discovery that the City Lord and her best friend is related? She had been waiting at their usual meeting place for days but her best friend didn’t come. Then a procession passed by. From a hidden spot, Nameless watched and found her best friend leading the procession. It was known in the city that the City Lord has one child. After putting one and one together, Nameless realized the identity of the only friend she ever had. 4. What happened between the two friends when they finally met?
