Preproduction Script for

'Vatos Dreame: Dan'

 Background: Born into a military family, Dan’s father was a ‘wolf’ ranked samurai in the Fujisaki clan. His mother was a worker in the factories, supporting their armies with weapons(Guns and bullets) and armors. Dan was adopted into the clan and started his training when he was five, his father had already decided that his son would be a samurai like him one day, and fight for the clan. Dan’s father died when Dan was seven, in the battle of the Suddenburg, and his mother was killed during one of the air raids of the enemy. This left Dan in the hands of his mentor in the army, Tanohara Kazukimi, who trained Dan with a stern hand, in the hopes that Dan would someday become better than himself. Dan becomes a samurai at the age of 11, raises up to ‘wolf’ rank when he was 15, and becomes one of the twelve zodiacs of the Emperor. (Zodiacs are basically personal bodyguards of the Royal family, each of them with a codename related to a zodiac animal. Choose whichever you want, besides the dragon). His mentor Tanohara is the zodiac ‘Dragon’. Dan is assigned as the personal zodiac of the prince shortly after.

 Major scenes that should be included in the story:

 

  1. Death of Dan’s Mother: Dan’s mother is trapped and burned alive when an air raid attacks the city unexpectedly. Dan tries to rescue her, yet is powerless as he hears her screams, and is able to see through one of the windows how his mother’s skin was melting from the heat. This should be a pretty traumatic moment for him.
  2. Dan’s first battle: Only a few days after Dan becomes a ‘Wolf’ ranked samurai, a major battle happens, where his mentor Tanohara is appointed the general and leader of the army for that battle. Dan is appointed by Tanohara as his second in command, and this pushes Dan first-hand into responsibility and the horrors of war.

   Marriage between the Fujisaki clan’s prince and Kahatawara’s clan’s princess: This should be the last part of the story, where it ties directly to the first parts of the main storyline. The prince have doubts about this marriage, and how he and the princess are both forced to marry someone they never met before just for the goodness of the clan. The prince confides these doubts to Dan(Who’s kinda like his best friend and closest trustee), who gives his own opinions on the subject. There should also be a scene where all 12 zodiacs makes sure that the passage of the princess to the palace is safe, and during it, Dan should sneak a peek at the princess. And the final scenes, where during the marriage, one of the clans betrays them, selling out to the other side, and ambushes everybody, leading to a bloody battle. Most of the zodiacs will be killed during this battle, including his mentor Tanohara, who dies at the hands of a ****-haired killer. Dan will be pushed out to protect the prince and take him to a safe place, unfortunately (killer) will stop him, and they will have a battle, in where Dan will lose to (killer) and be mortally wounded. As Dan is lying on the floor, he will see (killer) approach the prince, who will calmly accept his death with grace. This will be the end of the story, as Dan blacks out, and the ending is left open for the “Alpha” storyline.
