You Always Wanted To Be A Character…

Yes, I’m writing another sci-fi novel, the 4th.

It will be a YA sci-fi, dark and urban. The main themes are “Law and Order”, racial tensions, repression for security, and love between 2 young members of different races.

It will show the struggle between what you *feel* you must do, and what you *must* do because of how you feel. Reasons of the heart vs diktats of the brain.

Principal characters:

Tancred Gilmor. Also known as “Tank”. Strong built, just graduated as Law Empath Scholar.

Mekte Yutki. Kritas, blonde, elf like female.

Location: Main Kritas planet: Ahthaza and its city capital: Utthana

Prologue – The Law

From the Galactic Chronicles

After the war ended, and the Kritas — the former rulers of the Alliance — surrendered, the galaxy enjoyed a period known as the ‘Pax Humana’.

The fate of all known races rested on whether they had taken side with the victors, or had followed the Kritas in their grim destiny. Those who opposed the inexorable march of humans’ forces had to bend to the will of their leader, Dan Amenta of Earth. Gone were the days when the humans fought for their survival, against enemies and friends alike. The humans ruled with a strong hand, and their arms reached the most distant planetary systems, all secured with a firm grip.

The Law kept friends and foes at a distance, and the human leadership stood revered, feared, dreaded, and hated with equal proportions.

The Emphat Scholars, the enforcerers of The Law, guaranteed peace and security in all planets, and all planets were subject to the diktacts of their Tribunals. All must comply with all decisions and sentences of the Tribunal.

The Scholars have the right to say and not say, question those who crossed their path, and answer at their place in the process of their questioning. The Scholars praise and blame, abuse and insinuate, slander and undermine even the strongest of the wills. The ones under trial, those under the full weigh of the Law, have the duty to suffer in silence and stillness, and open their minds to the inquisitive Scholar. This is the fundamental rule of The Law. These are the foundations of the ‘Pax Humana’.

And now this is my game: Be one (and only one) character in the novel which is now in work and which will appear in 2015. Character can be male or female, but a reader who wants to die must in this case be male. In any case, I’ll require a bit of physical description, including any nickname (can be made up, I don’t give a rip).
