No Major Developments

Well, we haven’t really established anything groundbreaking lately.  We’ve just been trying to piece all of the main story plots together.

Change of Plans

Well, we opted to return to the original idea regarding the Littermates. We voted and overturned the plan to scatter them all over Lucida.

Now they all will once again be born in Temple Manor with both parents living at the aforementioned Manor. #11 is still going to be born in Snowplain.

This really won’t affect all that much except for a few changes now required for the script.

The Littermates Birthplaces

We just decided on these last night. They aren’t necessarily final yet, but they will do for the moment:

• Vic Jr.: He is the only child to be born at Temple Manor.
• William: He was born in SubFloor region back when SubFloor City actually existed.
• David: Dave was born in Tontropolis (The city, not the region).
• Alan and Justin were both born in Rainvale (As was Ilapse’s daughter Elysia).
• Henry: Lexington Manor
• Robert was the only other Littermate to be born in the Landring region (Vic Jr. is the other). RSB was born in Landring Manor though.
• Amanda: The eventual Primus was born in Malmagma Manor.
• Eileen Ilapse gave birth to Lucinda at Primata Manor.
• And #11 is originally from Snowplain.

As you can probably guess, Victor’s wife loved to travel, thus the multitude of birthplaces for the children.

The Littermates

We finally got around to naming the other 6 children of Victor Spellbinder. While this doesn’t have too much bearing on the first installment of Specs, I figured it should be posted on this blog as well. The list is in chronological order:

• #1 Victor Spellbinder Jr.- It seemed logical that Victor’s first child would be named after him. Vic Jr. shuns society and basically lives behind an imaginary wall.
  #2 William Spellbinder- William is a short-tempered sailor who resides in SubFloor Region.
  #3 David Spellbinder- David is an easygoing fellow, but his lighthearted attitude can (And has) get him into trouble.
  #6 Henry Spellbinder- As the middle child, was always a peaceful type of guy. He also picked up a fondness for solving problems and puzzles.
  #7 Nathan(iel) Spellbinder- While I just call him Nathan, Bruce prefers to use the extended version of the name. I guess Bruce is probably right, Vic would most likely use the longer name instead of a short one…
  Anyway, Nathan is very narrow-minded (But knowledgeable) and can be very irritating to be around. However, he is useful in battle which is about the only reason the other party members agree to put up with him. And finally,
• #10 Lucinda Spellbinder- Being between #s 9 and 11, she is the often overlooked; and even forgotten Littermate. But she does exist. Originally I picked Lucille as her title, but Bruce came up with the idea of ‘Lucinda’. It sounds a lot like ‘Lucida’, but we agreed it just appeared to fit her better. A kind girl, though somewhat spoiled (Being the ‘baby’ of the Spellbinder family and all).

The missing Littermates are already mentioned some in other posts on “maggie ec lusa!” so I didn’t bother adding them here. They are #4 Alan Ilapse, #5 Justin Ilapse, #8 Amanda Spellbinder, #9 Robert Spellbinder and of course, #11 Scott Starcross.
