Planning: War in the City

Like "The Four", I composed War in the City loosely from notes. The original notes when I planned out the idea I have long since lost, but in my files I found some of the notes I made later on. This was after the main arc of the story had already been sketched out. Since I never finished this story, many of the ideas sketched out never got around to.

Villians: Azom, Azet, Palzo, Gaius, Paper, Roc, Harpy leader, Darma and his men, Judas

Main character: Peter
Foil: Pompey

New Kalka project leaders:
1. Julius
2. Andrew
3. Helmus
4. Katina

Gaius Revenge: Gaius will want revenge on 13 characters, to parallel Jistap's original 13.
Surviving five members of Jistap's team
1. Pericula
2. Eva
3. Estaci
4. Akristh
5. Lauto
and also personal enemies
6. Kyoko
7. Drusus
8. Kile (especially Kile)
9. Mucius
And members of Kalka project--Gaius resents their power
10. Julius
11. Katina
12. Andrew
13. Helmus
14? Gaius's twin brother Sextus...Opposite of Gaius. Not "A Waiter"

Cicero--First victim of fighting between Pompey and Peter's camp. He is killed by Pompey's men.

Lauto--Leaks information to the enemy. Originally in Pompey's camp, but when Pompey finds out he tries to kill her. She is saved by Peter
(Lauto loses hand again to Gaius?)

Get ride of Pulchra subplot. It takes too long and totally unrelated to main story.

Make use of the diverse areas of The City to eliminate claustrophobic feeling.

Helmus: Abducted by Pompey's men. In an electrical accident, Helmus inherits super powers.
*Ability to shoot out eletric energy. Super strength. Flying ability
