# [[Free Form Writing]] >[!summary] >This is a summary of my stream of conscious writing to get some world building by writing and asking myself some questions while I am typing out the ideas in preparation for NaNoWriMo2023. > >This is unedited and was done throughout the day and the summary is written at the [[Free Form Writing#Summary|Summary]] section. >[!check] Premise: Mecha and Monsters Monsters, what are they and what ideas do I have for them? Dragons, Wyvern and Drakes. they morph or molt their former forms through magic to grow bigger, deadlier and smarter. They start out as a drakes, pack hunting reptiles that grows into winged wyverns and then solitary dragons that can breathe element and able to cast magic. Mecha, what are they and what ideas do I have for them? They use the heart of monsters to power and bones of the monsters for form the base frame. They have limited operation because it would drive the pilot insane or berserk by the influence of the heart. lords and people like to have them to protect them from the dragon and also show of power to neighbouring factions. Once the frame is constructed form the dragon's remains, they add armor and weapon to fight against dragon with sheer raw power but more skilled pilots can use magic with risk of triggering berserk. Dragon heart of all stages are source of magic in this world and thus highly sought after but also very risky. There's whole set of economy around it for desperate people trying to go for drakes and organized groups going after more mature wyvern or dragons. What of the dragons what would be interesting and would they have lairs? Male dragons create lairs and hoard treasures to entice female dragons. Female dragons lay about hundred eggs and leaves with the hoard? or do they eat them to produce eggs? What do they hoard? precious gems and metals? manacites and gold because it forms the egg shell of the dragon and magic is needed to create the core? Character ideas. A cannon fodder who's in desperate situation for money? high risk high reward job is needed for the character? or something more primal like survival? while others are coming for the riches but this person is here for more basic? The lord of the village forced them or lair is too close to where they are from so it's a desperate struggle? Another character idea, some smart female dragons disguise as human and join the hunt in search for suitable mate - When they prove themselves to be suitable them turn against the hunters. females are stronger in their true form but not so much when they are disguised as a human but still lot stronger than average human? So what's this lair so particular? A new mutation caused the drakes to be more organized and there's a new type of drake with intelligence of a human and able to cast magic beyond primal methods such as breath. the two characters ended up fighting the alpha of the drake pack, why can't she transform back to just flee the scene? she was hurt from the earlier skirmish and unable to transform back especially too many humans. the villager saves her not knowing she's a dragon and fatally wounded... ## Summary > [!NOTE|no-icon] Mecha and Monster > - This world is infested with Dragons that undergoes morphosis from Drake to Wyvern to Dragon. > - The male dragon builds a lair with hoard of magic crystal or stone and precious metal to court the female dragon. > - Female dragons sometimes disguise as humans to search their mate. > - humans hunt these dragons to harvest their bones and heart to construct mecha > - mechas are used to hunt more dragons and display military might. > - mechas operate in a limited time before it goes berserk. > - dragons hunts are necessary to maintain the mecha. > - there's an economy of forming hunters and service around it. > - Dragon's heart, core, amplifies magic and is highly sought after aside being used for mecha's engine. > [!warning|no-icon] Character > - A poor villager caught up in drake den hunt because he was picked to protect the village else the drakes would destroy the den. > - a female dragon disguised as a human in search for mate. >[!todo] Further world building / development > - [x] [[Character Note - Aliesterossa]] > - [x] [[Character Grainstorm - Epsin Ovhara]] ^76f8c1 feedback from the community
