Restarting my story, need editors

Before you ask, yes... I'm back.

Now let's get to business,

Ever since I stopped playing, I thought a lot about my project, and how it needed some serious editing. To make a long story short, I am redoing my story. If you have any questions or requests, contact me. Otherwise, post in the thread to give suggestions. And no, this is not a w*****lf story.

The story (prologue) so far...

In a desperate effort to find a cure for the great illness (Jovian Disease), a Jovian scientist was experimenting with animal genomes, as they seemed resistant to the disease. After geneticaly modifying human volunteers, he realized that they were incompatible and were dying as a result. So he realized he needed to restart from the ground up. He decided to create a new lifeform, so he took the Slaver genome (it was the most resistant) and combined it with human DNA. He managed to create one successful test batch before his lab was discovered and attacked by Sanshas (and it was in wormhole space, which makes it even worse). He could only save one of them, so he placed it in an escape pod and programmed a course to the nearest wormhole leading to High-Security space (it led to a Caldari station). Once he launched the escape escape pod, he was found by the Sanshas pirates and killed, and then they took his work (potential for super-soldiers) and destroyed his lab.

Here is some information on the main character (if it is left blank, I have not yet decided):

Name:
Age: Late Twenties (after prologue)
Gender: Female
Race: Biologically Jovian, but raised by Caldari foster parents
Species: Hybrid* (a true hybrid, not a creature with two forms)
Personality: Very calm and quite nice towards people, but extremely agressive (almost ruthless) in battle. Also, their IQ is off the charts.
Capsuleer: Yes, but not until halfway through the beginning


*A biological hybrid, not a hybrid weapon.



I need feedback. I am also recruiting editors.

Is nobody interested? I remember plenty of people being interested in this on the old forums.

Well, I am a pretty good story writer. I just get writer's block most of the time.

Many are still in zeir holidays.^^ And of course their is now lore.... and everybody has to read first all the new stuff...

Their was another pic.. from a player.... where we could see... that the sansha use caldari capitals and amarr titans.. etc.... it was of course before the Revenant.

P.S. When it is in the end a new lifeform (Slaver+Human).... why than using a Slaver?... I mean you could go totally fictional about this, and have so no reason to explain later why the Jove scientist (which isolating them self normally) take some animal out of the Jove Empire domain etc....

-PV... Fly save... if you have come up, whit some new stuff post of course Smile

I would love to have those classes ingame. See here:

I didn't specifically have that i mind, but I sometimes make typos.

I really mean revising things, making them sound better, helping me brainstorm, etc. I am very prone to writer's block.

The Slaver was the most resistant to the disease, but the result was essentially an anthropomorphic slaver hound (with a shitload of Jovian DNA, of course). Besides, his lab was near the borders of Caldari Space, and in the nearest High-Security Caldari System, Slavers were a popular import.

I hope I didn't make a spelling error, it really gets on my nerves. And this keyboard isn't making it any better.

Just to keep things in check, I have a few more ideas:

The main character isn't the only hybrid in existence (pirate factions have been stealing that scientist's work, starting with the Sansha Armada).

I won't be able to get on later (I have to go to the Doctor's Office to get an MRI Scan), so wish me luck. I might be on WAY later, though, assuming I didn't somehow get alot of metal in my body.

Speaking of MRI Scans, I, wonder if I could write something related into my story somewhere.
Any suggestions?

Sorry, but there will be no Starwars, Mario, or Star Trek ripoffs, EVER.

I want this to be original. Completely original.

I appreciaate that you are trying to help, but either you are trying to troll me, or you are trying to play some stupid joke, or you just don't know what I mean by 'writer's block'.

I have been getting EVEMails from people asking about my story. Let me fill in important details:

This is not a werewolf story. The best way to describe the main character is that she is a humanoid slaver hound with a passive aggressive attitude (Jovians are ultra intelligent, very calm, and very depressing, while Slaver hounds are among the most aggressive creatures in New Eden, perfect for countering the Jovian disease). The Sansha pirates saw potential for super soldiers (more on that later), which is why they stole the research.



And remember, I want an original story.
