Today we basically took the first title card that was made and organized the chapter.

Meet Troy Paris

What it will consist of is Troy walking around with the thespians of the comic [Tyler, Grace, Isabella, and Cress] and talking all about the place he lives and its people. Such as all the gangs. He explains every single one of them similar to this when describing Wulfpac:

"I remember when they first formed. They were just a bunch of kids back in middle school that practically worshiped Ur. They used to chill with anyone, really. All you had to do to join their group was 'love weed and fighting,' but now, they've grown dark and are basically isolated."

Along with giving some history to each gang within the city as he escorts the actors to their crappy-quality apartments, he also gives a lot of his own opinion and how he feels on thing, thinking himself to be a wonderful critic. With him giving his own opinion, it will affect the reader and make their opinion blurred until the following few chapters where things are clarified from several different stand points. 

Throughout the comic you'll be able to see the world through filters of characters in the world. Some of them narrow, due to not being part of a clique, and others massive amounts of information given due to knowing almost everyone in town. 

We also discussed the supernatural portions we're putting in the comic, as example, the Gods. We want to sneak them in, make the readers not realize where they fit or when they're gonna come into play. We want them as hidden joker cards. What was discussed was once a character hits a certain level of power in what they do, they're turned around to see that they're basically a God's puppet at this point, and they can adjust the power until over throwing the corresponding God. 

Spencer was specifically talked about. Hopefully, if we build his character properly, he'll be hated by every single reader. That's what we want. He's going to be this vile and disgusting human that no one is going to want alive because of how racist, sexist, classist, etc he is. His brother Vincent however is very respectful and calm, where as Spencer is violent and merciless. He's cruel and cold, so basically the brothers kind of detract from each other as beings.

The other fact tossed into the discussion was specific titles. Gods all have specific titles of what they rule upon, such as Spencer's mentor, Hyugo, the God of War. When a "corrupted human," such as Spencer becomes connected to a God, it is because that God has the same internal mind set as the human. For Spencer, once he starts to crack and you see him at his fullest and most natural state [the rude and blunt asshole spoken of previously] you realize he is vile, disgusting and violent which are all the characteristics of a war. He becomes obsessed with the idea and tries to start riots and actual full-on battles everywhere, which Hyugo notices and attaches to without notice.

So this ends up working with all of the [currently four] "corrupted humans." Riley ends up becoming obsessed with other peoples despair and torturing others that Dmirtri [God of Despair] steps in. Troy becomes so hyper and labeled as crazy that Zeferak comes around [God of Insanity]. Divine changes his name for identification to Divine due to his obsession with purifying and creating a whole new, and perfect, flawless new world that Sava [God of Creation] treats him as a saint.

As for the next few chapters, they'll focus on one group [gang, mafia, etc] and explain them through their own eyes about themselves rather than through a character that is already bias.
