Alien Wars was one of the first campfires I ever did on writing.com.

LU is signifigant to it becuase even though it isn't a loonatics fanfic or even take place in the LU universe without LU and Rev Runner I would never have been inspired to create the Bird-like alien race the Aves (Yeah I know naming a race of bird people Aves not very origanal)


Any way the three races are the Aves (Bird-like people) Octos (Octopus-like people) and Magis (Cat-like people)

Here is better introduction for my three benign alien races

     AVES: come from planet Ava they are humonoid bird-people and unlike most birds they have elf-like ears and toothy beaks. They are a colorful, artistic and musical people. Their goverment is a monarchy with a High king and queen above all others.
Rules for the the Royalty and Nobilty are very strict for example: A prince or princess can not mate or marry a servent or else they lose their jobs.

OCTOS: come from planet Rigel 4 they are like big octopusses with human faces, they can breathe in air or water. They are wonderful scientists but unlike Aves or Magis they are not good at magic. Their children are not raised by their parents but in communel homes. Their goverment is a repuplic

MAGIS: come from planet Jellicle they are lage cat-like people they are centuar-like with two arms and four legs. They are mysterious and secretive and are they very best at magic and sorcery. Like the Aves they have a monarchy but do not have the strict rules of conduct an Ave has to live with

This is clever. Could you maybe draw and upload a picture of one of the Aves, so I could see what they look like?

Hear are the  main Ave characters in Alien Wars

King Atal: The High King of Planet Ava a widower with two children

Prince Zander: Atal's ten year old son plucky, headstrog and sometimes arrogant

Princess Gear: Atal's nine year old daughter, has a strong psycic powers (Though all Aves are capeable of some telepathy) has a crush on servant boy Revel.

Revel: A kitchen boy of the Royal famiy's castle. Revel has a crush on Princess Gear even though it is forbiddan for servants to be romanticly involved with royalty.

Borsa: A servant girl, shy and soft spokan


Here go the first part of the story


[Twiga]   It was was a year of judgement.

King Atal of the Ave people was reterning from the frozen north, to his castle on the Tropical island of Dimentina. Finally! He would see his son and duaghter after a year away!

It was the Midsummer Ball and it was such an important event that 10 year old Prince Zander and 9 year old Princess Gear were allowed to stay up and attend the dance.

Zander was only 10 but already he had quite a few young groupies who giggled and chirped whenever he winked at them.

Gear also had her share of fanboys but deep down she only wanted to spend time with Revel, the quiet shy kitchen boy

"Hello my dears!" Said Atal and Zander and Gear rushed up and hugged their father

None of them knew of the looming threat


[
Steve Marches In]   Not far away, in the center of a hollowed-out asteroid, Commander Betalamonus was addressing five of his top Betta generals. In one claw he held a pointer which he used to indicate a small blue-green planet on a holographic map. "This is Ava, gentlemen."

"Ava?" said General Monagamus. "What a strange name for a planet. Did they pick it out themselves?"

"I'm afraid so, general. Once again we have encountered a species that is only fit to be our slaves."

All the generals clapped in approval and Commander Betalamonus dipped his antennae, the Betta equivalent of a smile.

You have got to teach me how to create my own characters and stories. Could I just see an image of one of the Aves?

I can't give you a picture at least not now becuase I don't  know how to upload the pictures onto the internet.

But as for creating your own characters and stories I think I can help with that

For me it is the easiest thing to do just let your imagenation run wild.

I supose it may be difficult for some people so I'll try to explain the basics

Zander was the first Ave I created I made him for two reasons.

To be a tribute to Rev Runner the other one to be a love interest to my Human/Unicorn hybrid character Matoaka. I'll admit a character that exsists only to be love interest makes a very boring character. So I invented his family, friends and his home planet's culture to make him more fully relyzed.


But Zander was an add-on to a group of characters I had created years before. If one is starting from scratch as you are a differnt method I use.


One idea is to think of the story first than create characters to tell the story. This way you may need to think of the villain first and than think what kind of hero to counter that villain.

To get started in making a story think about things that are personal to you.

What frightens you? What frightened you when you were little? (A great way to  deal with fears is to make a character that has  the same fears as you for example I have a fear of heights) Or what issue or injustace in the world really gets you going? (Ex: Helping the poor, Tyranny War, Enviromental issues)


When you have an good antagonist try to think of an ideal protagonist what do you wish you protaganist to be? A human, an anthro animal, a normal animal, an alien?  

Do you have more than one hero/heroine? More than one protaganist adds up to great oppritunities for for both comedy and drama particuly when two characters banter and bicker a lot (Think Tech/Rev or Ace/Duck)

Dose that give you some ideas?

Here is a breif idea of how my formula works with an idea in place

Initial Idea: Human beings create anthros to fight in wars

Antagonist: The Human Scientists.

Protagonist: Anthos who choose to think for themselves and refuse to fight.


Here's another portion of Alien Wars
[Twiga]   The Betta Spaceship zoomed steltaly to Ava. It was using a cloaking device to escape detection


Meanwhile Atal had a present for his duaghter

"It's a glass flower." He said "It will give you courage when you need it."


[
Person of the black lagoon]   "Wow! Amazing!" said the Princess of Ava. meanwhile, the people of the north had encountered the Betta!

[
Steve Marches In]   
The people of Northern Ava screamed and ran as the ferocious Betta poured from their landing ships and overran the villages. Anyone who resisted was killed. Everyone else was put in chains to become slaves of the Betta.

At the royal court Princess Gear thanked her father for the beautiful glass flower. "I like the way it sparkles and tinkles, Dad."

King Atal smiled at his beloved child. "You are my flower, Gear. Your eyes sparkle and your voice is like the tinkling of the bells in the palace windchimes."

Gear hugged her father. Suddenly a messenger ran into the room. "Sir! We have received word of trouble in the North!"

King Atal gripped the arms of his throne. "Not another ice bird uprising?"

"No, sire!" said the messenger. "It's an invasion from space!"

How do you cleverly plot a story? How do you create characters?

Well in creating characters sometimes it all depends on what your interests are.

So say we're talking about anthro animals as characters. For a beginning story writer take an animal you like let's say.... an elephant for example.

Place that character in an interesting situation. Like the Anthro Elephant is trown back in time to the medevil ages.

look to TV, books and movies to give you inspiration for ideas

One way to develop a characters appearance is to draw it yourself.

It dosen't have to look like a work of art just as long as it looks good to you.

And while I'm at it I'll adress the issue of how to plot a story.

Just look to your life and the world around you for insperation for plots!

Sometimes the best way to make a character for a biginning writer is to make a character that is a little bit like oneself i e: a character with the author's fears, dreams, interests etc

Sometimes the easiest way to get a plot is to parody a movie, tv show, book, but insted use your own characters insted of the exsisting canon.

Listen I love to help but I can't do everything for you espesily not tell you how to decide on a character's apperance That's one of the easiest things to do! You don't need someone to tell you how to decide what a character looks like, you just decide for yourself.

I want to know what story ideas you have please share them with me
