Does this have any potential?... - Possible story idea.

[Shurikane]

Saga Name: Lowlife & Work's
Stories Names: To be decided...

The Synopsis: Lowlife & Work's is some kind of ganster/drug dealing group set in a close future and incorporated into the Soul Terminal universe. However, a member of the group sees something he shouldn't have seen, and the next think those guys know is that they're being chased all over the place by a biological research organization. And since L&W is a criminal group, they can't call the police for help...

Characters in order of importance: (References point to lookalikes; they're all from King of Fighters)

• Rain: (Reference: Yashiro Nanakase) Main character. He's a bit on the young side but has some respectable experience in the team. Rain is his gang nickname.
  
  
• Lowlife: (Reference: Ryuji Yamazaki) One of the team's bosses. He is comandeering and works great under pressure. Reputed for his short fuse and one hell of a cursing problem.
  
  
• Work's: (Reference: Ryuji Yamazaki) Lowlife's twin brother. He's recognizable by his hair (brown, instead of dyed blonde like his brother) and also wears red contact lenses. He his smarter, calmer and a better plannet than his brother. In short, he is the real head honcho of the group. When things go wrong, his coldness scares more than Lowlife's rants.
  
  
• The Secretary: (Reference: Mai) The twins' cousin. She takes care of paperwork and inventory, and often goes on spying missions for the team.
  
  
• Sketch Chick: (Reference: Mature) She's a pro killer hired by the team. Mostly seen looking cool and scoffing at other team members.
  
  
• Snap, Crackle & Pop (References: Billy Kane, K', Athena) Known as "The Undercover Bouncers", they are distant cousins of Lowlife & Work's and the group's main dealers and fighters. Snap is absorbed in his Zen thoughts and his I-don't-care attitude, Crackle is a young Japanese man, and Pop is a somewhat stereotypical hyperactive girl.
  
  
• Akaya: (Reference: Mai) She's Crackle's brother and spends most of her time ranting and raving. She especially dislikes Rain and Work's because she believes they're not giving their best at doing their jobs. Work's will most often reply "Fuck off, Akaya!"
  
  
  
  
  So far my path looks to be heading this way:
  
  1) As usual, we stick to paranormal studies. Rain goes to deliver a bit of merchandise to an addicted popular singer and finds out she is the product of a metaphysical manipulation: thirteen souls are actually sharing the same body.
  
  2) Rain suffers an arm injury during the events of the first story and has to go to a hospital. However, he wakes up the next morning in a mock reproduction of the hospital, with all the doors and windows locked, and with a crazy biomech mutant nurse roaming the corridors.
  
  *shrugs* Yay, I have ideas. o.O

hmm, the first one looks like it could be unfolding in a lot of controvercy, and the second one looks more like it could turn out just as good, yet less complexe or maybe just a little bit shorter. I think it will depend of how you feel but honostly, I'd like a mix of the 2

...Thirteen is a bit much...don't you think? And also, how are you going to show that she has thirteen souls? Are they going to show themselves or what?

I agree with BWS-1 I too would like to see a mixture of the two.

Re: Lews: My trademark is big numbers. I don't know yet how I'll make the character spill her guts about it, but I'll find a way I bet!
