Vampires. The story.

Intro. Chapter one. Book one. Page one. Sentence five? The point of a story is to tell a tale. The point of an intro is to set up the tale so you know what the tale’s going to be about. More or less. The point of this specific intro is to introduce the names of the characters, the scenery, and the writing style of the author. Enter character one. Her name is Benedict. Because the author likes the name Benedict for a female. She has a much longer name that isn’t too important to the story, because she will almost always be called Benedict. Enter character two. His middle name is Lucian. Or Lucius. Oddly enough, it hasn’t been decided yet. The nickname is Luci, though. That part has been decided. He also has a first and last name that will also be prevalent to the story. But because of the element of surprise, it isn’t important yet. Enter characters three and four. Brothers of Luci, they are named Arlo and Eden respectively. Mostly because that’s what the first two randomly thought of 3 o’clock in the morning names the author has decided on. Everyone else of consequence can be named when relevant of course. But now onto descriptions. Benedict is human. Obviously the protagonist and love interest. This is a vampire novella of course. Her looks come later. Luci is described as a “sexy motherf***er.” No apologies, as this is intended for mature audiences. He’s got long magical fantasy hair. Magical eyes. Magical everything. Magical, meaning super cool, awesome, whatever it wants to be. He’s obviously the domineering vampire of the group. His two brother, by that logic, follow suit. They’re also beautiful and magical things, but slightly less so, as they are not the heroes of the story. There is a mix of human and vampire throughout, but they’re meant to be left to the imagination, as most characters are. For what is a book that people can’t imagine themselves into? As far as things go, that should cover them. Everyone is as stereotypical as they can be. Once the story gets started, the lackluster characterization makes more sense. But with that, we go into chapter two.
