Ideas from the past.

Now there's an actual subject for this post. Yay, me!
When I was young and believed I had several talents, I had this idea for a comic or a sci-fi book, but as I realized later in life and, as it have been shown post by post; I lack structure when it comes to writing. I might be a little (or pretty much) crazy but I accept my shortcomings :3.
After realizing my mind likes to drift away too much for my own good, I gave up on that idea. But I actually worked on a few sketches and characters appearance, motifs, personality and so on. Actually it wasn't a terrible idea and last night I remembered about it, so I feel like starting it over. Since no reads this I can write about those ideas here without worrying someone is gonna come and be mean or try steal my silly ideas, right? right!
Carlos, I know you read this but I trust you and, btw, what happened to the octopus illustrations project? I still have those scans LoL. Give me something to work on! I need to get busy :(
Starting the story, it's obviously in the future, not too near because I want to have space floating cities and subterranean ones too. Oxygen is easier to control underneath the Earth's surface and out in space. Ok, what else? Well, the whole story is about clones. But not in a 'he stole my identity' kind of story, it's the 'what happens when they have children' type.
For the storyline, I had this weird idea on how clones are not, and will never be, 'real' humans. So, I kind of start with Dolly's story, since the sheep developed a lung disease and lived only for half the life expectancy of that breed of sheep, and how scientists had to work on a modified DNA chain to make human clones viable to a point where they could have an existence as close as the person they're being cloned from. This modification made them normal but as a result they couldn't reproduce. So, if someone died and was cloned for the wife/widow and she wanted to have kids, well, she was pretty much effed up. That meant more modifications, and human-clone babies weren't really healthy ones or lived very short lives.
Ok, so basically, clone+clone babies were out of the question, and the human-clone ones that lived longer lives were a bit more special than what their mommas thought they were. They'd not necessarily have laser eyes, but they'd have the combined abilities of their parents. It means, they'd have the strength of their mom, dad (it was twice from the cloned parent because of the modified DNA thing) plus their own, as well as intelligence and other inherited capabilities. Also, any kind of genetic disease would come increased in the same proportions, that's why they didn't live as much or as well.
Regular humans tried to control that 'super population' of human-clone beings, but to make it a little more interesting, some clone-clone babies actually were able to survive and grow-up, they had to live hidden and shiz because they definitely were 'special' and humans wanted to control them too for other purposes, considering their double capabilities from each parent plus their own.
The main character of the story was Valetta (all characters had names of rivers, countries, cities and some other places). She was a clone-clone child but she lived with a group of human-clone peeps so she believed she was one of them, and so did the government :3
And... Yeah, well, that's basically the plot.
I don't know, it actually sounds cool to me but I guess it's because it's my idea, haha.
It felt kind of nice to write about it after so long! I think I was 15-17 when I had this idea.
Well, that's it for now.

Sayonara!

    Still working on that project, but in a different perspective. Will keep you posted on that one. :)
