I was going to play one of the characters in it, and each person who would be playing a character was given the task of developing their character and storyline. <br /><br />I had originally thought my character, Eleanor, would be a chef, and she would go through some sort of trauma that would cause her to change her path in life. Eventually she would realize that all she wanted to do was make people happy, and opened her own bakery. <br /><br />As time went on, and I saw that the world was absolutely inundated with fiction involving females running bakeries, I realized that we needed to make some MAJOR changes. Eleanor can be anything! So now she is a chemist, and her major trauma leads her to search for the meaning of life, and she starts experimenting with psychedelic compounds that she has created and she comes to understand how we are all connected, etc. <br /><br />Anyhow, if this webcomic ever becomes a reality, I hope you will appreciate that one of the main female characters has undergone major rewriting in the name of providing a STEM role model for women and girls. And definitely for the better. This character makes so much more sense within the story now, and is a far more interesting person.Queen Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125510098808146743noreply@blogger.com
