My Life As A Writer: Notes From "The Tragedy of Lady Olga"

I'm taking a little time tonight to do an outline for the first Star Knight gaiden. It's been burning in my head for a while, so it's time to get it out of there and thus out of the way.

When I outline, I lay down points where events turn and write some notes for my memory later. Here's a few that you might find interesting.

The battle armor of New Vienna's royalty is highly stylized, taking after its Super Robot, König Adler, in its Martial Mode.

The systems of Köing Adler require a DNA scan to unlock, and will not unseal to anyone not a male of the royal bloodline or possessing an Override Protocol- something kept in secret by the Star Knights of the Vatican Solar Guard.

Olga is beloved by her subjects in no small part due to her accomplishments in music alongside Countess Gabriela Robin, but disliked by her in-laws, who dislike a Russian being on an Austrian throne even if by marriage- and, by extension, the accord of both families. Even if the present crisis ends well enough, she faces their plotting to dispossess her son of his birthright.

Both the aggressors and the defenders are well aware of the resemblance to the 1683 battle. Plans are adjusted accordingly.

Aside from technical and intelligence assistance beforehand, there is no active intervention by either Azazel or [REDACTED]. The Jannisarries and their allies are on their own, but are aware of their part in the larger galactic offensive going on at this moment.

Everyone underestimates Creton, except for Olga and her husband, to their cost.

Creton's actions here will have consequences for at least two generations, one of which will literally come to his door years later.

Olga's death, and Creton's valor, is what brings the Tsar firmly on the anti-Vikuun side of the war- and with it, the full and total mobilization of the Russian Kingdom.

Need more Osprey books.

König Alder is a full and proper Super Robot, with alternative mode for flight, and it should be something that should be mistaken as being the Hero Mecha from a Brave series.

That should give you something to mull over for a little while. Soon I'll be making new Lore posts, so come back soon for more.
