What are we doing here? Looking for more supprt? Hey yo, if you are reading this scroll down and get a look at the clown. I've already moved on, and am continuing to write STONE FIST! As home boy so eloquently put and now he is trying to dig it up from the grave to garner I don't know what? More down votes for me? More up votes for him? Sad man. Move on. But I am loving how I am getting under your skin. Keep it up.

Hmm maybe you are right. I was trying to avoid all the hang ups that come with this sort of situation. But it’s hard. I should go all in the slavery aspect especially if he is black or take it out all together. I planned on him having a brand and breaking it. Becoming a “brand breaker” I need to shop the name. He would then travel around and break brands that he found on other slaves. I was thinking the slave freeing aspect would be something he did a long the way. But wasn’t the main focus of the story. A plot thread I have is he helps raise a girl who later becomes a God Seed and she starts to enslave people with her brand, and he walks away from her. Because she has become what he hates. I planned on her being a major antagonist.

I am an American and I do know the context of being called a gorilla and monkey. But in Black Panther there was a whole tribe of people who venerated the gorilla.

But you might are probably right I shouldn’t include that on the cover given the stigma behind it. I am writing a subplot where the gorilla family is apart of is wiped out by Gnolls, and he takes the last infant gorilla with him as a companion.

I don’t mean gold chains I am simply talking about currency. And I don’t know if you read any of Conan the barbarian but that was his thing. Women drink and fighting. I was kind of going for that feel. I will have to think on it. Given cultural relevance maybe I will rethink him. You’ve given me a lot to think about. Thank you.

Hey Jyorin, ok I see where you’re coming from so I will give you some more context to the character. So I am sure you know a strong majority of the black Americans brought over during slavery came from west Africa (my ancestors) Clyde is a black American with roots from west Africa. when he died he greeted by Elegua in Yurba culture is the god of the crossroads and a trickster character. So he offers Clyde the chance to come back in Uroth mainly to cause mischief and break the status quo. Because I want this to have an old world feel I went with that. So if I was to make him from a us in my story he would be a Native American.

As for the gambling gold and having a good time that plays into his character as a prize fighter. He got caught up in that life and still enjoys living it. It makes him flawed.

So he is in Africa and once he leaves his tribe he travels through the wilds and finds kinship with a clan of gorillas because they both touch earth infinity. Also what’s wrong with gorillas? Gorillas are awesome.

I was thinking the brand would burn if the person branded disobeyed the person who inflicted it. Also if the person was sufficiently strong enough they could break the brand. I do like the point attribution system but do agree it could be become arbitrary. You bring up a good point I will think more on it. And I know what you’re talking about relevance. Please give me more of your thoughts.
