《Title Pending Adventures of Jackson and Barbara in another world!》Bonus Chapter: Barbara
Advertisement
This is something I wanted to do after the first arc, so here we are.
I want to take some time between chapters to talk about my characters, my thoughts on them and just some fun facts. So, who do I start with? Well, not Jackson, that's for sure. His summary would just be "He's based on Anime protagonists."
No, I'll start with my favorite character in this little story, El- I mean Barbara.
I asked before, if anyone could guess who Barbara and the Berserker were based on. Well, firstly she's based on Berserker Lancelot from Fate/Zero. For those who never seen the anime, he is a straight badass and my favorite Servant in the Fate series. Barb gets her Berserker aesthetic from him, both being black knights able to use a wide range of weapons.
The second character she's based on is Spider-Man's Carnage. I'm a massive Carnage fan. Barbara gets the thing living in her blood from him, her hair color and the ability to create weapons from her blood. She also gets some of his personality, but that's for later.
I guess it no surprise she's my favorite character as she's based on two of my old-time favorites.
As for her development, Barb evolved from an old idea I had. It was about a dude with pretty much the same powers except he got stronger whenever he got hurt and was nearly god like when he was out matched. I never wrote this character down, being illiterate at the time, but the idea stayed with me. Later, when I was dealing with some writer's block and reading a lot of "Transported to another world" I started to build a scene in my head. That scene of course was the opening to this story. Barb just fit so perfectly, then before I knew it, I was day dreaming about her past and what kind of character I wanted her to be.

With the exception of one part that I need to rewrite, her character is pretty much of a loyal puppy. I also push her into a few jokes that I might have to remove as some might find them offensive. I guess we'll see what type of mood I'm in when it comes to the later chapters.
Well, as this is a bonus chapter and all, I feel no shame in asking you, the reader, a quest! Well, maybe two...
Should I keep this up, putting bonus chapters in about characters or the world? If so, who or what should I do next? Word count, what are your thoughts on it? Should I try to make chapters longer, maybe combined short chapters together or is the length fine for the most part?
Well, bye for now.

Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to my first attempt at writing a novel. I am preparing to participate in the 2017 NaNoWriMo event so enjoy the first chapter as that's here early only to ensure that I have a place to post once the event starts. This means the first novel/book will have a target of 50,000 words. I'm excited to attempt this challenge despite the hurdles I will have to overcome. I do have a demanding full time job so planning time to write and make weekly releases starting in November will be my biggest challenge. Also, please accept my apologies on my cover. I'm not an artist and the only digital tool available at my disposal is the stock microsoft paint. So I did my best to create a decent cover as I did not want to steal the work of another. If there are those interested by the end of November in donating a new fan made cover then I will look into replacing the old cover.

"Montana, come here." He nodded his head toward the door, leaving out of the room. Staying silent as Ms. Carol looked at me, I kissed the back of Josiah's hand before leaving out of the room. As I walked out, Messiah stood there looking at me in disgust while I closed the door. "What are you doing that shit for?" "Huh?" I said since I had nothing else to say, just trying to stall time to get my words together."Why are you stripping, Monty?"Sighing, I decided that I wasn't going to lie like I'd originally planned to do after listening to Chocolate's stupid advice. "Money." I spoke simply and he scoffed as I looked down."Why not just ask Josiah for money instead doing hoe shit?" "First of all, It's not doing hoe shit. I don't have sex with anyone. I just dance. And I don't want to ask him for any money. It's not his job to take care of me.""So stripping..." He trailed off with a laugh."..stripping was the last resort? Instead of putting your pride aside?" Saying nothing, I just looked at him with pleading eyes."Please don't tell him, Messiah." I could already tell by the look on his face that he was going to tell him."I ain't gon' tell him.." Thank God. I thought. "..you are." "What?!" I shrieked. "No. I'm not.""You are." He spoke in a demanding tone."Please. You know how he is." I expressed"And you know how he is too but you made that bed." "Messiah, he's going to kill me." I begged."I know." He shook his head, walking away from me."Better figure it out. You got until the end of the day to tell him or I will." He mumbled before walking back into the room.
