Visual Diary: A script concept out of doodling?

In combination of our Principles of Animation paper and our Storyboarding Paper we are to make a character and perhaps use that character in a story.

Originally, i was going to design a story off my Pathfinder Campaign that I run with my friends, but post our Principles in Animation where we were playing around with face base shape concepts, and I sillily sketched a pirate with two eye patches, seeing as that wasn't enough, i added a pirate hat, a parrot on the shoulder, a missing left arm, a right arm with a crutch, a missing right leg and a wooden left leg, joking that he was in all accounts, a very successful pirate.

As I got home I decided to scribble out a basic structure on my, handy dandy, notebook.
The following is an amalgamation of that:

Act 1

Main Character: Titus
Daughter: Cassandra
Wife: Lilly

"Main Character a Pirate / Sailor", I've decided that he'd suit being a Privateer, as privateers were privately owned and ran vessels with a commission to attack certain areas or targets as corsairs. Effectively a king of the seas, successful at a young age, amassed riches he decides to take his wife and toddler child for a day trip on his vessel, an unfortunate occurance.

A group of rival privateers / pirates / someone out for revenge see the ship that they so fondly hate, with it's captain that they so distain only running a skeleton crew as his family briefs the sea air. The rivals quickly take the ship and our main character realises too late as his wife and child are taken hostage, holding the todler over chummed water, with the wife to the blade. Curious as to the nature of the stationary vessel a ship friendly to the corsair heads to investigate, pressuring the pirates to finish their revenge quickly, killing the wife, and throwing the child overboard as they set fire to the ship to make a quick escape.

Without a second thought, our main character plunges over board into the cold water for his daughter, fearing she'd already been taken by the predators lured by the offal. As the rescueing ship comes into range, the main character is desperately fighting off predator sharks, his daughter to his chest. They throw a line and pull up a barely conscious main character, his right arm the last vestige of his limbs retaining funtionality, the remainder mauled and torn.

Act 2

Titus stuggles with his body, acting more as a prison than an assistance to his growing daughter. He teachers her to read and write, but without her simple tasks such as fixing a fire or using a fishing rod, or tying a knot resolve as near impossibilities. But Cassandra is an ingenuitive daughter, akin to her father but with the caring heart of her mother, finds ways to enable her father, creating a flint and steel he can use in one hand, crafting a simple harness to hold his fishing rod etc. As she grows, she gets frustrated, and with no mother figure to care for her with a recluse father in their small home, she starts to rebel, she gets friends and starts enjoying their company more and more, and gets into arguements with her father. She comes home late one night, he's drunk in his chair, they yell, she blurts out "You're the reason mother is dead, you're the reason why you're alone and broken!" and storms out.

Cut to scene where she obviously didnt return, he sits there looking out over the ocean, his beard and hair growing, the plants getting out of control. And then a letter is thrown at him from the gate. The addressy is not titus, or his last name, or is rank, just "Dad".

Act 3

Day break, a man hobbles torwards a university looking place, unsure that he's in the right place he opens the letter in one hand to look at the map provided. He sits down on the bench a faint smile on his face, he has shaved atleast. The sun rises, sits in the mid day then falls, his smile never falters until the sun catches the roof and starts to crawl the seat into darkness, blackness covers him as it sets with just a pearly teared eye in view. He stands, and hobbles over to the gate. A dirty hand from an owner in leather grabs his last good arm, startled he falls, looking up it's his daughter, cassandra. A tear in her eye with a giddy smile she pulls at him and points to a workshop that has been billowing out smoke all day. Helping him in the door, she points to the table, or more so what is resting on it. He noticeably gulps. On the table sits mechanical limbs admidts tools and scraps, obviously having just been finished. At the table he runs his hands over the surface until he finds the shoulder of the arm... "Never Alone" etched into the side with Lilly's initials engraved under neath. He embraces her.

Cut to scene, he's on a boat, wheel in hand, standing freely, his daughter with a wrench working on his open knee, cut to his arm, a brutish engraving has been added to the arm, "Cass" within a love heart around "Never Alone " and lilly's initials. A dirty grin strikes his face as he sails off into the horizon.

Needs work, but is a base at least :D
