Just some additional info: Kipo is of a species known as Renons, who live on the fictional planet of Initial with a couple of other species from nearby planets. Renons don't all act like Aspie, in fact they are very much like humans in mentality, as are the other species. I take advantage of the setting by giving it more technology. It's a bit like the first two episodes of Star Wars in terms of style, although not so many weapons are seen. One thing I'm particularly proud of taking advantage of is that on this planet, The Cure has been found and made. Kipo decides against it, while the WP character you guys are making does take it. Unfortunately, he/she is allergic to some of the ingredients in it, so has to stop taking it. But this is difficult because they find that the manufacturer has secretly added nicotine to The Cure (it's not the nicotine in cigarette's that kill you, it's the tar and rat poison and stuff)
Kipo already has a love interest, BTW, in the form of Volodja, a character Star came up with, and he is not of Kipo's species. star named her after a character in Lijla 4-Ever, and Volodja knows this WP character because he/she's his cousion (although not blood-related, the WP character is the son/daughter of Volodja's step-dad). And also, Volodja's NT. *gasp* Dun-dun-DUUUUUN!!
And RedMage, I don't mind, they are ideas, and this is a WP character!
Nicotine CAN kill you. Just ask Gustave Fougnies. Oh, no you can't, he died from being poisoned by the stuff by the Count Hippolyte de Bocarme.
I saw a disturbing video showing a mouse getting a dose of pure nicotine (a video initially made, I might add, in the 50's-70's. I saw it on a doco on cigarettes). Guess what happened. It died almost intsnatly. Even a drop of pure nicotine is fatal to a human.
I have a book series broiling about in my head, but it takes the attention to cultural/historical background from
Dune, and a bit of the concept from
Pirates of the Caribbean.
