Bawat writers, I believe before nila umpisahan sulatin ang mga istorya nila meron at meron silang mga inspirations for their heroes and heroines. And yep, myself included. Before I'd create a "perfect hero" for my story, iniimagine ko na sa isip ko what would he be like and what does he look like. Just like the hero from my very first published novel Tatta Hitotsu No Koi from PHR.
☆☆☆☆ SHINJI SERIZAWA ☆☆☆☆
Age: 27 - hindi ko ata nabanggit sa story kung ilang taon na talaga siya. pero sa isip ko 27 years old siya in present time.
Profession: Musician. Lead vocalist of the rockband, Vampyres.
Where I got his name?
--- His name came from one of the Kimura Takuya drama I've watched on TV wayback in College. yung isang character do'n na younger brother ng bidang babae at partner ni KimuTaku, his name was "Shinji" and was played by my Japanese actor crush, Takenouchi Yutaka. Cute na cute ako sa name na Shinji kaya ginamit ko siya. And as for the surname naman, I got it from the character Ikuta Toma played in Maou. He was named there Naoto Serizawa. Naghahanap ako ng Japanese surname na babagay sa name ni Shinji at iyon nga! The name Shinji Serizawa was born.
--- When I first wrote Shinji's story, crush na crush ko nung mga time na yun si Hyde, the vocalist of L`Arc~en~Ciel at Shou ng Alice Nine. For me, Shinji is a cross between Hyde and Shou.
☆☆☆☆ ERIKA ANGELES ☆☆☆☆
Age: 24 - hindi ko rin yata nabanggit how old she is in the present time pero nasabi kong 16 years old siya nung time na nagtapat ng wagas na pag-ibig sa kanya si Shinji, 8 years ago.
Profession: Marketing Officer sa Events organizing company ng mommy niya. And yes, she's also a frustrated romance novelist. Do'n sa original MS na una kong pinasa sa PHR, Erika works in her dad's company. Nagbago din ang mga iyon nang ipa-revise saken ang story na'to.
Where I got her name?
Since, Half-Japanese ang hero ko, gusto ko ang partner niya may Japanese name din na papasa rin for a Filipino. I chose "Erika", since name din iyon ng dalawang favorite Japanese actresses ko, Sawajiri Erika and Toda Erika.
--- hindi ako masyadong nagbabanggit kung ano ang physical characteristics ng heroine ko sa bawat istorya na sinulat ko. Ewan ko lang, sakto na saken yung basta maganda si girl. Mas feel ko kasi yung dine-describe or detailed kung ano ang hitsura ng hero :)
-- wala rin akong visual peg for Erika.
Supporting Characters:
Rachel-- Erika's friend and a fan of the Vampyres. Sa original MS, hindi Rachel ang name niya, but Chenna. I changed her name, wala lang. Kasi may feeling ako na pag reject/revision novel ko pag inayos ko at pinalitan ang pangalan ng some of the characters eh, ma-approve yun.
Vampyres:
Curtis Feliciano-- Lead guitarist
Drew Alarcon-- Bassist
Radley Jimenez-- Drummer
--- originally, I have plans to write each of the Vampyres' members respective story. I actually have written a few chapters of Drew's story. Last year yata iyon, but I left it hanging. Pag sinipag ako, tatapusin ko ang story niya. And Curtis has already appeared in 2(?) of my stories that were never submitted to any publishing. Wala lang, ever since eh, naging character ko na siya at naisipan ko siyang isama sa story ni Shinji. Actually, siya ang plano kong next hero for a new story that I wanted to write. Kino-conceptualize ko pa nga lang ang story niya but I already have a heroine for him :)
Alessandra Meneses-- the international fashion model. cousin of the owner of the Vampyres record company. one of the girls na naka-affair ni Shinji when he & Erika lost in touch for 8 years. My inspiration for her was Alessandra Ambrosio. Sa original MS of 2010, hindi Alessandra ang pangalan niya kundi Keiko Kimura. Half-Japanese na ex-gf ni Shinji.
--- I've already posted here ang nangyari sa story ni Shinji before it was published. I made a "major" revision of his story. Maraming scenes, details at kung anik-anik na nabago from the original manuscript I submitted in 2010. Pero ang hindi lang nabago dun ay yung katotohanan na ever since ay patay na patay na si Shinji kay Erika.
--- The Japaneses phrases that were used in the novel, some of those alam ko na because basic lang naman iyon. yung iba naman, with the help of the ever reliable Mr. Google.
--- And yes, just like what I said in the dedication page of my book, it's all THANKS to Nino's song Niji. Kung hindi talaga dahil sa kantang iyon ay hindi ko matatapos ang nobelang iyon. Buong magdamag na iyon at iyon lang ang pinakinggan ko habang pilit na tinatapos ko siyang sulatin.
Mahirap ang pinagdaanan namin nitong si Shinji, but it was all worth-it kasi it's finally approved and then published :D .
Disclaimer: I think I have to say this. Sa mga kaibigan ko na nakabasa ng pocketbook ko, isang malaking NO. hindi ako ang bida sa nobelang iyan, PRAMIS! XD
