Hey, I like this game. Anyone who's played it likes it too. I've had this whole story that takes place after the first game stuck in my head. It's not fully written it's more or so a concept. I'd like to share here on Blocktopia and get feedback on ideas, plot development, characters etc. Thank.

Really, really undeveloped atm. Just kinda want comments on what I have and is it good what could be done etc.

Without further ado:



The Last Of Us: The Red Giraffe [Draft]
Plot Synopsis

The story follows a young boy and his mentor as they help a madman, named Joel, search for a girl he believes was kidnapped by the Fireflies.

Characters

  • Joel
    • Joel has been described as a "violent thug, a brutal killer, and a torturer.” He is shown to be able to kill his enemies with noteworthy brutality, earning his infamous reputation to those he encounters. David calls him a "crazy man." During the aftermath of the epidemic that struck the country, he has resorted to working in black-market dealings and smuggling items or people of interest through quarantine zones or other designated areas. Because of this, he has accumulated valuable knowledge in regards to surviving the post-apocalyptic environment. Ellie notes that Joel has stained his hand with innocent blood when he reveals to her that he has been "on both sides", thus having the knowledge about a hunters' ambush and anticipating it. This dark past likely contributed to his experience as a hardened survivalist. Joel is extremely devoted to Ellie. Myers Briggs Type: ISTP.

  • Tommy
    • Tommy, in contrast to Joel, tends to be reasonably optimistic, believing he can make things better with caution and hard work, and thus is not plagued with the same unrelenting pessimism and apathy that his brother harbors. This is his impetus for joining the Fireflies at one point, as well as why he leaves them to build a new safe haven. He prioritizes his family, declining Joel's offer to take the profit from Ellie's deliverance in favor of his new family with Maria. However, after seeing his own brother act affectionately towards a strange young girl, he sympathizes with Joel and changes his mind. Myers Briggs Type: INxJ.

  • Maria
    • Maria is a strong headed woman who follows her heart and guts. She trusted Joel because he was Tommy’s brother and vehemently expressed her disapproval at Tommy accompanying Joel to the Fireflies. She’s one of the key leaders in the safe haven created by her and Tommy. She is very diplomatic, commanding, and personable. Myers Briggs Type: ESFJ.

  • Number Six
    • Number Six is an idealist who sees all the old-age technology and honestly believes it could have use again, even when he was not born before The Fall. He is the second youngest of The Guides but it hasn’t stopped him from climbing the ladder straight from being Number Fourteen to Number Six. He’s quick to talk about knowledge and abstract concepts but pales in comparison about being able to talk to people on an emotional level. Number Six does not speak to people unless he has supplementing purpose behind having a conversation with someone. Number Six dismisses anyone who does not see the chance for a future where technology and old inventions could not be used as tools again. He holds high affinity for what The Guides can offer and hopes to be a prominent leader within the organization. Myers Briggs Type: ENTJ.

  • The Lady
    • The Lady is a powerful woman with seemingly endless connections. Her unlimited pool of business resources makes her a formidable person as it contrasts against the dystopian society that has lost the age of instant messaging. The Lady of Guides credits herself to Pigeon Train, The Guides, and the Revolt of the Chicago Military. Presently, her efforts are focused on The Guides and manipulates information and extorts people to continue its growth. For anyone who knows and does not know The Lady it’s hard to tell what her real endgame is and whether or not she’s doing everything for herself or the benefit of humanity. It has been a long time since anyone has called The Lady by her real name, no one really knows, and she has not found the right mission to have her leave her designated post in the safe haven. Myers Briggs Type: ENTJ.

  • Markus
    • The leader of Pigeon Train.

  • Number Two/K-Mart
    • Spunky girl who has worked around The Lady’s rules and conditions of never sharing their name by giving herself a more personable fake name. She’s the second best Guide currently available. K-Mart is someone who enjoys high risk and practical ways to solve high risk situations. She does not go looking for trouble, per se, but does not mind when it appears. She remembered traveling frequently as a child and it has helped supplement her in memorizing the land. For this girl, the end of society has only affected her negatively by her desire for a dog. Myers Briggs type: ISTP.

  • Commander Adalae Miguan
    • Leader of the Chicago Military.

Places of Interest

  • Safe haven
    • A large town that runs on hydroelectricity and supports nearly 200 lives.

  • Chicago
    • A deadly city/zone occupied by both the Chicago Hunters and Chicago Military. It’s an all-out civil war with unfortunate travelers caught in the middle.

Organizations/Groups

  • Fireflies
    • OH U KNO
  • Chicago Hunters
    • Later
  • Pigeon Train
    • A systematic organization that works in conjunction with multiple towns/cities/safe havens across the U.S. land. It's a postal system that allows people to communicate across thousands of miles once again. It's a system in which people work together in groups or go alone to deliver letters and information.
  • The Guides
    • An organization run by The Lady. The Guides memorize landmarks, multiple maps, and areas to physically lead people through safely. To pay a Guide is to pay with information or bartering. One of the key rules and conditions of The Guides is to never allow one another or clients know your real name.
