NES Goals & Themes

Our Goals and Objectives in the NES

 * ACTUALLY WRITE
 * write for all the different characters and have them have distinct identities, personalities, and motivations
 * character development
 * interpersonal relationship development
 * have interesting, sensical plots and arcs
 * have the arcs be somewhat cohesive i.e. a continuing story rather than episodic happenstances

Themes of the NES, Themes of Arcs

 * idk like friendship or something lol ??
 * like the group is just ragtag at the moment it seems but idk they should bond as a group or whatever
 * Family
 * More (we can discover along the way I guess)

Organizational Things That Still Need to Happen

 * develop Gary and Liz
 * pages for explanations of different locations and objects and stuff?? (Like Cross Dimensional Gates and the Gateway Mansion itself)

Things That Still Need to Happen in the Current Arc

 * reintroduce some of the old characters (Definite: Freak, Mallory, Gary, and Liz)
 * Introduce new characters to shake things up?
 * Figure out what the heck we are doing with the 2018 run and the plot of the first arc

Plans for Future Arcs

 * eventually i will have an arc focusing on Mallory's past but not for a while
 * at some point i will introduce a character named Rava who is connected to Mallory and their past

Questions

 * Which old characters are we bringing back?
 * Are we adding any new characters in this arc?
 * What are we doing with Gary and Liz's parents? Are we killing them, traumatizing both children and giving them a traumatic backstory with which to launch character development from? Are we shutting a door in their face and leaving them for the entire rest of the NES, giving the NES a potential ~Alice in Wonderland-esque~ way to end? What's happening with these parents?
 * How, if at all, are we re-introducing characters? Luna suggested that Liz and Gary go through different doors that lead to different character's home planets/dimensions, and there are backstory's on the wikia that we could use as a springboard (recycling old material, like classy writers).
