Here are four of the Generator Rex fanfics I’ve got going right now…these are the most developed in my head and I have a little writing done, but I’m hitting a few snags in places. I’m just posting the story info and notes though, no need to clog up the board yet.
So, tell me what you think or toss me some ideas that come to your mind after reading this and maybe something will come to me…
------
Title: Seven
Rating: T
Genre: Not entirely sure yet, maybe suspense, mystery or drama…
Summary: In Six’s line of work, he knows you can’t have personal attachments, can’t let your guard down, because if you do, you and everyone around you will die.
A/N: This fic was spawned by thinking too much about Six being so named for being the sixth deadliest person in the world. Someone keeps up with that right? And in a world like that, how would someone advance in the ranks? You kill the person in front of you. Now, I’m not talking about Six, he seems comfortable with his life at Providence…and someone has noticed. “Seven” (for lack of a better name) wants to take Six’s place in the rankings and he’s willing to do whatever it takes. I love this idea, but I scarcely know what to do with it, other than at some point having “Seven” go after Rex and Holiday…
------------------
Title: The Day It All Began
Rating: K+
Genre: General
Summary: It has been four years since the Nanite Event happened and after today, Providence will never be the same.
A/N: The trend among fanfiction is Providence finds Rex when he’s ten, usually soon after the nanite event happens. Maybe it’s just me, but even before “Rabble” aired I didn’t think that would have been the case. There has been a lot of little ways of phrasing things in dialog, particularly in “The Forgotten” where Holiday says “Those were chaotic times Rex. Before Providence. Before you.” (Because really, why would Providence be in existence right when the Event happened?) And a few other lines that make it sound like Rex went to Providence on his own. So this story is my own take on how Rex joined Providence. Now, as an EVO, how would Rex get the attention of a secret organization like Providence (a really badly kept secret, but hey, I’ll work with that)? Break things of course. The only problem is Providence really hasn’t run across many ‘intelligent’ EVOs and they really have a shoot first and ask questions latter policy. Things kind of go downhill from there. This story is actually progressing quite nicely on its own and I’ll likely have a draft to post soon, just wondering what others think of the concept.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Circean Poison
Rating: T
Genre: Romance/Drama
Pairings: Circex
Summary: Rex knows that Circe is bad for him. He still can’t manage to keep away.
A/N: This popped into my head when I ran across the term “Circean Poison” and thought it sounded like an interesting name for a Circex fic. I’ll probably just have to wait on this one until Circe shows up in the show again, because really, there’s almost nothing to work with. I might just make it up though, after all, it IS fanfiction. I just can’t think of how else Circe could get Rex in trouble, besides the obvious (and you know what has she been up to this whole time? Van Kleiss and the Pack are presumed dead after all…).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Inferno
Rating: T
Genre: Drama and I think Hurt/Comfort
Pairings: Circex, Holix if you squint.
Summary: Rex saves the world from the biggest nanite threat yet, but he pays the ultimate price for it. What will Providence do without its “biggest asset” and how will Rex’s friends move on?
Warnings: Somewhat AU and Character death.
A/N: This is my evil-demon-plotbunny-from-Hell, I don’t know WHAT possessed my muse to stick this idea in my head, but it refuses to go away. The summary pretty much says everything. Yes, my muse had me kill off Rex, BUT, I’ve got a he’s-not-really-dead-dead loophole involving his nanites a la Superman: Doomsday, if you’re familiar with that movie. But I don’t know what to fill up the story with until Rex comes back, because I don’t know how Providence as a whole would react to Rex being gone (other than White Knight wanting Rex cloned…that conversation with Holiday didn’t end well…).
---------------------------------------------------
Hopefully this didn't sound too much like rambling...my brain is a little mushy this week.

I think prequels have a bad name of late ( im looking at you LUCAS) and are prime for redemption.

Just a question umm part of Circe's powers is to umm " attract " Evo's and I have wondered a few time if Rex really is attracted to her or if hes just a sailor being drawn to the rocky soles by her power. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Inferno Rating: T Genre: Drama and I think Hurt/Comfort Pairings: Circex, Holix if you squint.

Messiah in the strictest literal interpretation of the word means "One anointed as a liberator. " Rex brings hope where their was only uncertainty and fear. He can at least for the short term cure a great many evos, and medical science can't do that. He can heal the great sickness of his age. If he was lost a lot of people might hope for a 2nd coming. --------------------------------------------------- Hopefully this didn't sound too much like rambling...my brain is a little mushy this week. Not at all! On of the reasons I hang out here at darkscribes and ffn are to talk about writing in general with other people in the hobbie. DS is dieing on the vine FFN is full of . . . some people that will be on some government watch list one day so fire at will! |

Excellent! I really enjoyed reading your ideas. Opinions/ideas below...
Seven: Perhaps Seven (if he's that sort of person) starts out by challenging Six to a fair duel and either Six accepts and fights (but doesn't kill him because he doesn't want to) or he walks away. Either way, Seven doesn't get his victory. The event made him desperate and that's his reasoning for going after Rex and Holiday. Maybe he becomes desperate enough to seek help from EVOs.
The Day It All Began: Excellent idea. I've always enjoyed prequel stories when they're well-done and I think you could do a great job. I'm eager to read it once it's ready.
Cicean Poison: I love the title. Even without reading the summary, I would read it. As for what she's been doing... Maybe she got involved in a gang similar to Quarry's gang in "Rabble". That couldn't be the only gang of EVOs running loose in the world. Except maybe she got involved with a gang that wants to take down Providence, rather than just steal stuff. Then again, that sounds a lot like what Van Kleiss wants... Circe's a lot like a siren from Greek mythology, so maybe you could play with that.
Inferno: I think a lot of the soldiers in Providence would be very discouraged with the death of Rex. He's their hope and the only one who was able to cure EVOs. Now that he's gone, it's as if their light has been doused. Like datdude said, some people would be looking for another hero to come and save them. Some would just give up. And others might go crazy... As a whole, Providence is still supposed to protect the world from EVOs and White might want to cover up the fact that things aren't going well. There's a lot of potential here and I really like the idea.

Thanks for all the feedback, it helps. ;D
Seven: I actually had a bit of a break through on this one last night--err this morning. The story was lagging because I was really at a lost for what Seven was like, I couldn't get a picture of him in my head and I really couldn't pin down his personality, besides ambitious. I had a dream where someone had drawn me a couple of character sketches (convient dream huh?) and it was perfect. Seven has really long black hair, wears white slacks and a white dress shirt, wields a pair of sai and has a malicious grin/glint in his eye that told me all the rest of his personality, ruthlessly determined, a wise guy sence of humor, and pretty much everything Six isn't. Thank you muse! What do you guys think?
The Day It All Began: Glad to hear people don't think prequels are beyond redemtion lol. I'm starting to hate this story--that's a good sign, it means I'm almost done, ha. But I think this thing is turnning into a two or three part-er.
Circean Poison: Drawing on the Sirens and Greek myth for this will probally be the way to go...do you all think Circe's "power of attraction" so to speak is limited to her call, or do you think EVOs are just drawn to her regardless?
Inferno: *whew* I'm glad no one draged out the pitchforks on this idea. A question--what do you think would happen to someone in Providence who directly went aganst orders (besides Rex 'cause he's special)?

Thank you muse! What do you guys think? I was thinking a dark gritty 90's style comic book killer that calls himself a hero, and that about fits with your description. Circean Poison: Drawing on the Sirens and Greek myth for this will probally be the way to go...do you all think Circe's "power of attraction" so to speak is limited to her call, or do you think EVOs are just drawn to her regardless? I've had the idea in my head since she showed up for the first time that Evo's are just attracted to her a little. Its an uncontrollable aspect of her power ( maybe her normal voice does it), and thats part of the reason Rex fell for her. Don't get me wrong she pretty, and Rex's age but that what if has just stuck in my mind. Inferno: *whew* I'm glad no one draged out the pitchforks on this idea. A question--what do you think would happen to someone in Providence who directly went aganst orders (besides Rex 'cause he's special)? That depends on how close to the edge we are. In the revolutionary war Militia where free to come and go, but if they disobeyed orders they could be shot. One idea in my head is that Providence pulled back to a few small bases they can defend easy and troops could bring their families. In that situation getting fired might mean you and yours might be out in the cold if you get fired. |

In that situation getting fired might mean you and yours might be out in the cold if you get fired. Providence as a whole is still fuctioning as they were before, but they gennerally kill most EVOs on sight now, moral is down, and the world knows something is up (and they don't like it), but they don't know Rex is gone. No way to really explain what I mean without telling it I supose...After Rex died, White Knight gives Holiday orders to ahh.... dissect Rex for study (I don't think that'd be a long shot for White) and Holiday flips out and tells White she's not going to do that, White just threatens to get someone else to if she won't. Six had walked in on the tail end of the conversation (he was wondering what all the screaming he was hearing was about), and by the time Holiday finnishes explaining shes pretty upset. Six promises to help her get Rex's body out of Providence...I think they're goning to notice him missing though...(dundundun) Sooo, I would think that may qualify as some form of treason. (But hey, I need Rexie in one piece if I'm going to un-kill him later.) And I forgot to mention something else about Seven. He's not nessicarily evil, or crazy or sadistic or anything like that. He'd be nice IF he wern't killing people. He's just a determined guy who lets nothing get in his way and who'll use any advantage he's offered. |

Humm in that case I could see Six and Holiday being locked up. I mean they both know a lot about Providence, and would seemingly be the only people that knew where Rex's body was making them to important to hurt. Maybe Knight just locks them up "until they talk". Are you Familiar with a SuperMax prison? About the only thing I can think of that could hold someone like Six.
As for Seven my suggestion is this write him like you would a hero, but give him one fatal flaw.
The best bad guys are always the ones that could be heros "if only"
Take Doctor Doom if not for his Ego he'd be a hero without par.
So maybe Seven is just driven by something a bit to much. He doesn't need to be crazy, just a bit to ambitious/driven/or what have you.

I agree with datdude - the best villains are the ones who could've been heroes had it not been for *insert reason*. I'm really looking forwards to reading Seven.
As for Circe, I'm also in agreement. It's very possible that she just attracts EVOs naturally. Perhaps that'll be a cause of trouble - her attracting EVOs wherever she goes, which puts Rex in constant danger.
As for people going against Providence's orders, I think they'd get punished. For what Holiday and Six would do, I could see them locked up for treason. Seeing as Rex is gone and morale is down, I'd say things are probably desperate in Providence. More desperate moves are being done and whatnot.

I don't know that Seven is a villain per se (aside from trying to kill Six among other things...) but the plot muse may have given me his defining moment of tragedy.
Sounds like Circe could be in this Friday's Rex...even if the ep description makes me raise an eyebrow.
Well, what do you think would happen if a group from Providence turned traitor and managed to get out, would Providence pursue them do you think, or leave them be with things as they are in the world?

If they have bigger fish to fry I can see bringing in a pack of renegades being a low priority. |

If they have some agents to spare, I'd think Providence would go after them to try and get them back. Their first priority would still be EVOs, but I think they'd want to capture the deserters.

Okaaay...so The Swarm offically took the fun out of my "suprise" twist for Inferno. Drat. Soo, I either will have to shelve the story, flat out kill kill Rex, or find some other reason for Rex to be out of commision kinda perminate-ish.
Circean Poison is still not budging and I had put The Day It All Began on hold to work on Seven.
Seven, which I did decide to change the title of to A Game of Numbers got a better responce on FFN than I had hoped...and now I've hit a wall with it.
Chapter two, the only thing I've got is Six going off to fight Seven and getting a little insight as to why Seven is doing this--I'm hoping to use that to (belivably) make Six see just how empty his life's been...or something like that.
I can't descide whether or not to have Holiday realize what Six is going to go do, then confronting him about it and either have her end up beliving Six didn't go through with killing Seven (when he "did", did is in quotes because Six is going to think he is dead when he's not) and having Six go along with her beliving that, or having Holiday follow him...
I'm leaning twoards the first, because then I can write the scene where Holiday is going to take out Six's stiches and finding out Six ripped them fighting Seven (and he fixed them to try to keep Holiday from knowing about it later) and then realizing Six lied to her about it. Because then you know I can have all the fun of writing a scary-mad Doctor Holiday.
My other delima--I need the whoops-he's-not-dead Seven to be insainely angry at Six when he shows up again, because I need him mad enough to go after Holiday in revenge for something Six did to him. Thing is, I'm leaning twords Seven being the "noble" type that won't mess with loved ones (he only attacked Rex because he originally thought Six was training him to be like them), he's almost ending up chivalrous in my head, so I'm worried about that being out of character.
The only thing I can think of is this: I already know their fight is taking place on a cliff with a nasty drop to the river below. If Six were to be in danger of falling, I could have him bargin with Seven to save him, telling him he's won and Seven has taken Six's place in the rankings. Seven is satisfied with this and starts to pull Six up, but just as soon as Six knows he's not going to fall anymore, he pulls (pushes?) Seven over, who then falls to his "death" in the river below. Would that be out of character for Six, or would he be so desperate to get rid of this threat that he would resort to fighting dirty?
I hope that all made sence...

Here is an idea I had and will likely sit in my ideas bin for a long while. During "Breach" Rex has another memory blanking event and when we see him again a year and a half later ( could be any amount of time really) his entire world view is shaped by Breach. To qute Homer Simpson "Crazy don't mind if I do!" Seven, which I did decide to change the title of to A Game of Numbers got a better responce on FFN than I had hoped...and now I've hit a wall with it.

In Six's world ( and Seven for that matter) view could be done in a certain way according to an un written code like Romantasized gun fighters. If Six shows a bit of mercy I could see Seven taking that as an insult. That all sounds like it's begging for a western style show down at the OK corral as it where Now I could totally see Holiday thinking all of this is a waste of human life, and Rex being "the boy thats just to young to understand". Both of which are not out of place in an end of an era western story. Heck if it was animated the musical bit would be bon jovi www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ERSVtU571kSee DatDude date himself  |
