"Lenne's and Shuyin's Story" December 2010 update

With November (2010) come and gone it means two (2) thing: one (1); December is upon us which means its the last month of 2010 and Christmas is nearing once again and two (2), my focus shifts to "The Final Chapters".

Development of "Lenne's and Shuyin's Story" has been focused largely upon the first (1st) hundred (100) pages. In particular I have rewritten the beginning of Lenne's and Shuyin's story and have introduced the aggression from Shuyin's BlitzBall comrades by having Shuyin fleeing into the building where Lenne is introduced. I have came up with temporary names for Shuyin's superiors in the armed forces (soldiers division); Captain Lupens and Major Shaft (I got the names from players for the Zanarkand Abes and Zanarkand Duggles).

I've decided that Jece and Aeroon (two (2) Shuyin haters and Shuyin's comrades in BlitzBall and in the armed forces) are disposed of (killed) by their comrades in the soldiers division. The reason being is that they are deliberately offencesive and insulting to everyone they come into contact with including Lenne. Bullying is not tolerated, especially when the whole of Zanarkand is affected and left in near ruins after Bevelle's monstrous machina attack. This act is to demonstrate the kind of ugliness that is brought out by the Machina War and the darkness there is in Zanarkand where the people are in conflict with one another.

A key change in the story is the characterisation of Yu Yevon, otiginally Yu Yevon is a heartless tyrant who cares only about Zanarkand. Shuyin encounters the ruthlessness of Yu Yevon while accompanying Yu Yevon and Yunalesca to Bevelle. Now though Yu Yevon is more calm and much less of a short fuse, Yu Yevon doesn't point a gun in Shuyin's face now for example (beforehand he did). Yu Yevon explains to Shuyin the cause of the hatred between Zanarkand and Bevelle hence the Machina War. Despite Yu Yevon coming out more human and understandable, Shuyin's opinion about Yu Yevon is unaltered.

That's the key changes regarded and as much as I'll disclose regarding the development of "Lenne's and Shuyin's Story". January 2011 will be the next opportunity for "Lenne's and Shuyin's Story". Now that its December (2010), I can contribute to "The Final Chapters". And I have a number of implementations for "The Final Chapters". I'll do an additional post on Christmas Day and give an update on Seymour's condition after Yuna (particularlly) and her friends are through with Seymour as a special treat so until then, see ya!
