Curses...

So, i've been thinking about my Curses book. I see it as a standalone, but i've got a niggling feeling that it might run over into a monster of the week kinda thing. sigh.

Also, i think i'm doing a more clear cut antagonist this time. Either the Fey, or sorcerers or an order of something or the other.

In other news, the MC is Oppus the first being in existence, so i had to do a bit as far as omnipitence and stuff is concerned. I leaning towards "him" having been downsized far enough back that the information left over from his all knowing days isn't really applicable anymore.

Also Fates aren't exactly in his perview, since their job is to create the threads of existence and keep a record. As far as the future is concerned, free will wins out so things arn't as clear cut as this will happen at this time.

Power wise, i'm leaning towards the ability to do highly complicated works and works that require large amounts of power, but an inability to do things considered basic or even intermediate. he has tot do complicated things to get the same results, which means more prep and larger chance of things going wrong or being interupted.

Curses in this require a part of the casters soul, which they are often only willing to give up for the menace that results, thus when/if the curse plays out or is broken they want their soul piece back with obsessive focus.

Haven't figure out the logistics of blessings or prophecies yet, but i feel like prophicies are simply the results of blessings and curses, i.e. people finding out.

Thinking maybe when the blessing or curses are played out and the parts of oppus are returned to him(not sure how that works) they contain memories of things that happened in the early years of the universe that have exceptional meaning, as far as from the readers perspective, about what it means to be a human being or have compasion or make hard decisions or beauty or faith or love.

I'm still thinking oppus doesn't like in a city and that he may live with the fates. He'll also probably teleport to places where blessing or cursing activity is taking place or be directed there by the fates or use a "device/talisman?" to figure out where to go.

Oppus's motivation for this so far is reclaiming peices of himself and in a way cleaning up a mess he feels responsible for or not allowing parts of himself to be used by otheres.

Oppus also as an all powerful being most likely had to be betrayed in someway to end up deminished, unless he made the choice to live as a "mortal" and then found he couldn't return as easily as he thought he'd be able to.

Thats what i've got so far. getting exciting write. the meds make the thinking so much easier, so yey. haven't tried writing prose yet, but might start soon, if not we'll se where NaNoWriMo finds me.

Smooches!
