Try looking up on Google
See them all and combine them to make up your own.
Also you can look up other books

Give us an idea of what the story is about so that I may help you...

>>17384047
Ok police force splits but what happens to the army...
>>
>>17384047
So the division of police is actually what the cops are supposed to be and the swat teams
>>
>>17384083
How did I not think of this
I guess I would want them to sorta merge with the army after the kid was killed
Because the shit I want to get them is pretty high tech for police
>>
>>17384087
Basically yep
I want to make you think about morality
At one point I want the sis2 to kill someone she was close to because she didn't realize who they were because of the armor
>>
>>17384064
So both parents are tough where does the qt.3.14 get her happy go lucky act and nice persona ?
>>
About the high-tech part
Any game that has ever had power armor ever, with a catch.
>Armor is pretty simple as always.
>Bullet proof, intimidating, and just agile more or less depending on the armor
>The armor, however, has small little parts that open up and release little/large bursts of pulse or jets that boost them away or close to whatever they want.
>Bullet proof items have only so long before it ruins so why not add magnets.
>Very small pack inside the armor that will deflect the bullets
>It can only take so much abuse before it has to recharge
>>
Out of curiosity how old are you and what country are you from ?
>>
>>17384091
Happy go lucky sis is really fucking depressed.
She chooses to try and stay happy, or at least look the part to honour her brother.

Sister with the persona mech and qt3.14 is happy, but still pissed at herself for her brother dying, blames herself maybe
I want her to get the mech after raiding a drug ring/lab and finding him, sending him to a person who is an expert on mechs, and gives him free will
The qt3.14 spider is someone she was dating for a while or eventually saves while on a day off or something
but as time progresses while dating the spider waifu gets more and more aggravated with her since she is basically becoming a killer

US
Pretty young, just 18
Because of my age and little experience, I don't think it will be great and don't plan on making this some best seller book
Its just something I want to do since I have been thinking of it for too long and never putting in the effort.

I'm sensing a major plot hole what causes the division of the cops to begin with.

Your story is very basic unless the division is good.

The stories main theme is morality which is caused or led by the police division.

Also when bringing to the characters description they need to be either static, dynamic or circilar. And the way they come to be needs to be good and not cliché
>>
>>17384108
How many books have you read ?

Don't worry I'm not here to shit on you or your story, but to actually help you and get a better story.
>>
>>17384113
Mind hitting me with what you got?
again, I had no idea how to start the division in the first place is my major problem so I thought hey, terrorist attack that also kills the Dad's kid
>>
>>17384118
Honestly, a couple of sifi books, fiction books, but I am not a huge book worm since it takes a lot for me to get invested in a book.
I always liked non-fiction and ots why I'm drawn to the idea of a police force with heavy armor picking sides in the future
I always love playing a couple of casual games and games with good story to help balance out how to think of ideas
I'll play phantom pain or maybe Spec ops the Line to really think about how to think of a good character or story
Then maybe some halo and call of duty to really get into the design of how they should work, how the guns and armor function, and what they should do
I love reading a dystopian setting for a book, or something that just helps me think of a girtty feeling for tough characters I remember reading the last book in te universe for that as a kid
Then I'll read about some kids books for a happy or energetic person like A school for good and evil or some shit
I have lot of books lying around my house like the outsiders, lord of the flies, and it all helps
But as you can see, I am not the best at picking books

>>17384119
So your story is about morality...

Also we must forget that the division causes two extremes.

If you want to make money then support an agneda. Support an idea in your story.

The division can either be lead by a rebelion of anarchy (not anarvhists, but the rebelion has no leader) or the division is caused by two leaders of political parties liberals and conservatives (not neo conservative)

If its in modern day America: conservatives are anti gov.
And liberals are socialist so they want a strong gov. So the 2nd amendment is gone.

All in all you have to know a bit of politics.


So lets start from the top:

What is the time and location if the story:
Try to be specific.
>>
>>17384131
I would say where America, New York would be but just going to change names and areas.
Time would be 2136, or somewhere ahead but not too much
Just enough for things like gene splicing to look like a cat, teleporters, robots, and all of this to just be like cellphones, cars, and tattoos in our day and age
>>
>>17384129
You want to talk about morality:

Read books on philosophy

Take 1 hour or 2 to read the 1st and 2nd book by Plato "the republic" this will help a lot.

I really needed this
Thank you so much

>>17384136
Ok so now that we know the time we can build up on that:

When speaking of the future you must define the near past or talk about the current state of time and how it came to be

If you have kik add me we can work on this story for longer so the thread doesn't die out.

My kik: johnzimmermam


If you don't have kik download it, it's easy and anonymous just use a fake email.

It should be pretty heated if there are rebellions
I would say I want the country to be tilting towards a civil war and the division is the countries way of trying to solve the problem without having to deal with a war
>>
>>17384155
Lets not go off on a tangent...

So we must discuss the past:

The past must have a rebelion or must be going towards a civil war ..

What was the cause... of the civil war or rebelion.

Something or someone must have been mistreated, groups are fighting over a philosophy or ideology, poor vs rich, strong vs weak, etc...

In essence what ignited the war or rebelion ?
>>
>>17384168
That is a good point.
Since we are discussing politics, and given recent events too I would say someone getting shot by a police officer after the police are already in hot water for being accused of being trigger happy
Maybe the son took the bullet?

>>17384179
Read your kik
