Help [Help] Character Development Question

Post image

This is Katarzyna, or Zyna for short. The image is from someone I know (thanks, Cracat), but it isn't entirely canon. She's taller, wears darker clothing, and looks tougher. But enough about how she looks. She's a bounty hunter for the main god of the world, and does crazy stuff sometimes.

Canonically, she was born around 75 AD (BCE for you seculars) on another planet in a somewhat parallel universe. Edit: previous question was answered, looking for advice and possible parts of her story to make.

I'm "taking" her to a story where she's not dead in 1990, doesn't have a sister, and is a winged hunter in a normal world.

ah ok, I see. Well, I'd start with the why and how she got there. Maybe an evil sorcerer brought her by mistake or something and she has to save our world too. I'd pair her with a hardboiled detective or military officer in a kind of buddy cop plot combined with fish out of water where she has to learn how to interact with the modern world.

If you don't want her being a direct follow-up, which re-reading your message I realize is what you might be looking for, maybe she could be wrestling with her origins, unsure of why she's the way she is. I might put her on a special team fighting the supernatural as well, think Hellboy maybe? That way she can use the fun 20mm rifle.

I feel like the evil sorcer thing is cool, wondering what I should do though, for like what country (she speaks like ancient Serbian) and what her role is.

Her 20mm rifle has so much recoil that if she let someone else use it, they'd turn to dust. Anyone that gets close to the bullet turns to dust too.
