Emerald High origins~

Ok. I'm gonna be spilling my guts here guys, be honored X'D

I'm just gonna tell it how I remember it, along with some old work to jog my memory~

2006


I was lonely and actually clinically depressed or whatever you call it. But no one knew. I missed a LOT of school from 13-16. I just couldn't cope, but at first I LOVED the idea of starting a new school... the love was short lived of course.
  • SO, I began working on a crappy novel, lovingly named 'Yo! Kappy' it was about a 13 year old bisexual punk girl called Kaprica (now Amilia's mom's name). The sh*tty book was written from her point of view, like a diary, and also contained a lot of badly spelled, almost unreadable text. Which was originally the 'quirk' for the book, as she couldn't spell very well. It's now just unreadable, lolololol. 
  • The 'novel' started where her parents had divorced recently (excuse to have dad out of picture but still have him 'there' since my dad died when I was 9, oh the psychology) and her mom was making her move to a new house, in Punksdale (now EH's town name, it was a name to correspond with her clothes style was all), with her brother Jakky (now Daisy's brother). 
  • As soon as they got moved into the pretty big, awesome house (that was clearly unfordable to them), her mom and Kappy went shopping.  And she soon bumped into and started talking to a girl called Cleo (now Amilia's friend in EH). She totally fancied her but soon after she met some guy and fancied him. Can't remember now, his name was Dizro and he worked on a scrapyard, blah. 
  • That's pretty much as far as I got 'writing' it OTL but Cleo also told Kappy that she went to Saffire High school (were 13, shoulda been in middle school derp).
So yeah, I never got to the school part really, but I loved Kappy and I coulda kept her. But she simply got me through a depressive time and made me happy that she had the same problems as me ;n; she was also deadly quiet and a weirdo outcast~

Like I said, I never 'wrote' the school part, but I was already designing an endless cast of characters to be her classmates. Including pretty much ALL my current Emerald High cast, HAHAHA!! *slapped*

I still have and treasure the book of original concepts <3 some names vary but you can tell it's them lol. I was pleasantly surprised to find I'd designed Krissie, Daisy and Karl way back then actually o_____o

~So now you know where most my mains and their friends come from X3 a sh*t novel from 2006.

Where do Jason, Sammi and Amilia come from, you ask??? They're possibly my most developed, apart from Amilia who's basically had an identity crisis her whole life (since she's partly based on me, surprise surprise, pfffffffffffffft). But is currently nothing like me, haha.

  • Sammi I know for sure, he was/is heavily based on and influenced by Will Smith's character in Fresh prince of Bel air *heart flutters* he was originally more 'badass' but calmed down in the last couple years or so, hehe. He's always been sarcastic, ahuu, I just LOVE that trait.
  • Jason... I don't even.... know. I've watched so many comedy shows and crazy people on TV he's lost in translation, HAHAHHAA!! But looks wise he totally resembles Jim Carrey and I DO f*cking adore that man <3 Jason's 'passion' spawns from me, I feel. 
  • Like I suggested, Amilia was originally based on me at the time, geeky, pink obsessed, cute, ugh. 
So how are Sammi and Jason so developed? As I claimed.

I've had numerous projects/novels in my life, and their characters (the 2 main best mates guys) have ALWAYS Been there. No matter what story I told, comic I made, idea I invented, asdfghjkl. So their relationship is epically strong and developed. Based upon almost every male duo there is out there, lol.
In fact, one of my first influences for them could have easily been Ant and Dec from a Saturday morning kids show here. I was crazy over it, and it also aired Pokemon (major influence on me).

I could ramble all day about them, but blah. Like I said earlier, Krissie, Karl and Daisy had been designed for the 'Yo! Kappy' project as classmates. Soooooo, since I wanted a few main characters to 'work with' and make a full story for I picked the geek, rich girl and dumbass.... wooo. Sounds epically lame now, but I put a spin on them soon after.
  • For a start, I pride myself heavily on the fact Krissie ain't no bitch/selfish asshole like most wealthy/famous-ish females are portrayed as. The idea that she'd had a lonely childhood and just wanted friends was an early idea. 
  • Karl I barely used post 2010, so currently HE'S the bitch/selfish asshole, aaaaaaahh, ce la vie :3
  • Daisy was just the stupid one, heh, and (thinking back) her and Karl were probably just based on Dexter and Deedee from Dexter's lab anyway... lol fail. She's now more 'badass' and righteous, ho yeah. 
Oh wait a minute.... most of this post is bullsh*it coz I found 2005 concepts for the Emerald High main cast............... WTF??!?!!?! *explodes*
What's the point of explaining anything anymore?? OTL I just don't know where the hell they came from OK?? 

Aaaaaaaaanyway... *shifty eyes, throws paper aside*

THIS is where the story truly starts. You wanna know their full childhoods and how they eventually met and all their personal issues and problems???

Stay tuned my friends... stayed tuned~
