Name: Kirtuk Mangil
Keywords: fat, bad teeth, horrible breath, fingers stained with drugs, shaved head, thin mustache.
First draft:
Kirtuk Mangil hails from the small desert nation of Pater where death by the worst means possible are common-day. This is where Kirtuk learned his skills as a torturer. When death is horrific, the threat, and delivery, of pain has to be even worse. The fat Paterian has horrible breath from his rotting teeth, and constant use of the narcotic known as grier. The tips of the fingers on his right hand are stained a dark brown from the constant application of the grier between Kirtuk’s cheek and gums. The only hair on Kirtuk’s head is a thin mustache that seems out of place on his rotund head.
Revision:
The fat torturer leaned closer to his victim and exposed his rotting teeth. The blast of hot, foul air that wafted from Kirtuk Mangil’s mouth would have made a normal person swoon, but Kirtuk’s application of pain on his victim was too complete. The torturer leaned back as his stroked the only hair on his rotund head: his thin mustache. While the poor man that was tied to the table writhed in agony, Kirtuk took a pinch of the narcotic grier between his stained fingers and crammed it between his cheek and gums. The stained fingers slowly slid from the pouchy lips of the sad, fat man, before they reached for his next implement of torture.
Ok. I’ve done a week or so of rambling about my past. I’ve done a week or so of poorly executing scenes. I’ve done a week or so of slapping some characters down on a page. I’ve gotten some halfway decent ideas through this whole process. Good stuff that I’ll probably continue after NaBloPoMo is over.
The upcoming week will be some efforts into story summaries. They’re supposed to be less than 150 words, but include information about the basic plot sitation, the name of ID of the protagonist, the protagonist’s goals, the name of the antagonist, why the antagonist wants to stop the protagonist, and how the antagonist is going to attempt to do this. Maybe I’ll get some writing ideas out of this next week.
