I have thought a lot about what the character wirting this journal should be like, as we are only seeing this world through his eyes. For a while I have been thinking of a fantasy world where the different races traditionally found in fantasy worlds, for example elves, ork, vampires, are not different species but instead simply people who have adapted to their different enviorments over time.
For example the Vampires are a culture purly based around science and exploration, they have no religion, to the extent that they use the bodies of their dead in experiments and hold no sanctity over them. They grew up in a volcanic region where the sky was blocked out by smoke but as they began to us these volcanoes for power the smoke faded away and since they hadn't built up any immunity to they sun it proved deadly. so to combat this they built huge chimneys to belch thick black smoke into the sky and save them from the deadly sun. And they do not drink blood, instead they depend on a drink called "Nectar" that greatly extends they're life span and heals wounds however it is greatly addictive and is made from the very bodies of they're dead. They're love for technology is so great that they incoorperate it into they're body to improve themselves.
The character for this journal will the emperor of the vampires and so he needs to be both smart, selfish and arrogant. This character is greatly inspired by the character Kain from the Legacy of Kain game series.
here is a few videoes to demostrate what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFiLNc46jAM, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jws63E9dNN8, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2UW-kcYmm4.
I wish for the world to be one of death, as inspired by our trip to the graveyard. It will be both morbid and dark aswell as peacefull. I am greatly looking forward to writing this journal.
