You guys know that Magnolia is the name of a flower, right? It's also the name of a (very good) movie. A drama. A long one. That's it. I don't have any ideas so I won't say anything more.

not many people know that, and that's why it's perfect. It sounds dark but actually is kinda sweet

Deleted several posts. Keep on topic. That doesn't belong here (or anywhere, for that matter).

How about the bad guy ? I prefer the one who resemble Kefka in FFVI or if anyone ever play Brigandine game in PS, the ruler Dryst. Well, I like a villain who does a bad thing without any reasons such as because of his tragic childhood, etc. Just pure ambition to obtain power and domination over universe or just because he likes it.
Also I like a story that a little bit twisted such the person who taught the main chars actually the bad guy, or only want to manipulate them. Btw, how do they have the magic/special/or whataver skill ? I think we need some explanation. How about because of evolution and whatever reason, certian humans will have certain power such as having more acute sense, divinition, etc.

HM... Ok I got some ideas for the appearance of the characters. The girl, as you guys already said, wears leather, lo-o-ong black, straight hair. I would go for very light blue eyes- that would make her look very mysterious. I say she should wear a skirt, any length, preferrably short (not for the reasons that you guys like) and maybe with high knee boots. Im thinking of gothic style now! A black top, that you can think about later. I would also put some accessory in her hair. A hair clip on the side in kinda gothic style? Maybe with an aquamarine stone to match her eyes. Details like this make characters interesting. For the guy, I think he should be more "normal" kinda guy. Pants, shirt etc. Brown hair. green/brown eyes. You have to decide when this whole thing takes place: in the past, today- as in the modern world, or in some kinda kingdom of a place. I would go with all those classes like Mage, Sage etc. That just complicates the whole thing. I say: black and white magic. The girl possesses the black part, the guy the white. Together, they can mix the two, creating a very powerful attack. I would seriously consider the tension between the two. How about, at the start of the story, they are just very good childhood friends. Suddenly, an event happens (maybe the girl helps him out with something, saves his life...) that makes the guy look at the girl differently. She on the other hand isnt even thinking about that. The boy starts to have feelings for the girl, and in the rush of the events they get "close". Yet, then another event happens that turns them against eachother (that u guys already mentioned), and they get separated. After that, something happens that makes one of the characters understand that the other one needs them (some kind of danger perhaps?). They get together again and fight by eachothers side. Clearly, we got to finish off somehow, so either the guy understands that he was the happiest when they were simply good friends and they make up OR the girl actually realises she was actually in love with the guy all along, she was just scared of her own feelings. In any case, the black and white sides join, and everything is well. I loved the idea of the necklace. I have no clue what to do for the evil characters yet... I know they should look strange and mysterious: white hair would be amazing. And red eyes. Or maybe Ice blue... oh no, that's the girl. NVM. I will try to come up with a few details for the main characters. Unless you tell me all my ideas are worthless and that I should just shut up! Sorry I couldnt break ALL THIS WRITING up... now I feel like a squeezed lemon. .. (dont even wanna think how you guys feel! If any of you actually made it to the bottom of this text that is!)

Just summoned the power to re-read what i just wrote. I meant i WOULDNT'T go with the Sage, Mage, Warrior kinda thing. As i already mentioned, it make the story unbearably heavy. Just stick to 2 types of magic. kk, NOW in will shut up!

I got an idea for the girl's name. How about Serenity? It's actually a real name, but I thought it would match the character.

*read the whole thing* man I need some coffee , nah just kidding. I was kinda stuck on the whole thing but you gave some great points, I think one of us, should try to sum up all the charcters apart. and the basics of the story so that we can finally start. I would love to see your work, you got your own homepage or something?
