Sorry about not posting for a few days, but I have been
busy. After almost a year of thinking about it and planning, I am now working
on a short story about Candy, my original Warhammer character. The story is not
elaborate, more a window into her life four years after our last adventure. I
stopped playing Candy because it made sense for her to retire. At the time, she
had just gotten married to her long term love interest, they had both almost
died, his entire family had been massacred, and she was pregnant. Her
biological brother she just discovered had left the group, and her two adopted
brothers also parted ways with her. It made sense that she would retire instead
of risk her entire new family.
Even though I stopped playing Candy, she never left my mind.
I have a very good idea what has gone on through the years. I can think of a
thousand ways that the pain of the past weighs on her. She had killed and seen
murders. Her own husband almost lost his leg just before they retired. She was
corrupted by Khorne, and saw a greater demon of Khorne. Most people don’t
survive that and stay sane.
Now, the story has grown within my head until I can’t hold
it so now it has started to spill out onto the page. It will be fun to see how
the other members of the group react. Perhaps it will inspire them to work on
their own stories, or it will make them shake their heads. Either way it’s fun
to take a look back at the character and world that launched it all.
