I'm writing a story that features three factions (dark, light, gray), a moon-world, super-powered men, technomanced soldiers, religious nuts, etc.

One day, my interest piqued for the manga Trinity Blood and so I went over and read up on it via the TB wiki. Almost identical. I was a little pissed at first but then I remembered I didn't care. I built my story off Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Twisted Princess art, and the Tropes website. I actually made a list of all of my favorite tropes and determined that they would all make an appearance in my story. It made it easier to build plots and connect characters.

I'm also writing a story about a bunch of genetically engineered telepaths with control over various elements who are up against a faction of terminator and transformer style machines. I was inspired by Rubedo, Nigredo, and Albedo (and Citrine) of Xenosaga to name my main characters according to the color of their hair. This was long before I'd ever heard of Monty Oum. When RWBY came out, I started to wonder if my thoughts were filtering into Monty's dreams. lol
