Question for my friends list
Feb. 21st, 2007 12:59 pmAlright, so as I posted before, I've started a comic. Here's the blurb from the site:
"Trinkets" follows the adventures of Natalie, who has just finished her first semester of university. She comes home for winter break, only to reencounter the childhood imaginary friend that she dismissed seven years prior! Tariendir, or Ian, reminds her of the deal she made when she was ten years old: he would disappear, leaving her to concentrate on school, until she got into college.
Now he's back, and before they can catch up on the last seven years, something more pressing arises. Natalie may have made the deal with Ian, but what about everyone else? He hands back the bracelet she was given as an infant, which held charms that represented each of her imaginary friends, including the adventure spirit, the dress-up spirit, and many others. Instead of disappearing altogether, the neglected eidolons have wandered and found other - sometimes quaint, sometimes destructive - things to occupy their time.
Now it's Natalie's responsibility to 'rescue' everyone she's left behind, and try to lead a normal lifestyle outside of the supernatural.
So, my quesiton is this: What kind of imaginary friends did you guys have growing up? What kind did you wish you had? What did they do? What kind of things did you do together?
Have any ideas for imaginary friend eidolons? I've got a list I'm working on, but this is to help generate a few more.
And for extra credit: if they were a real person and grew up, too, what would they be like today?
Just letting you know, they might end up in the comic. And I'd credit whosever he/she was if he/she shows up. =)
