The City Is My Hunting Ground

Plot & Creation

I got an idea of making a LoL fanfic long time ago, but it was one of my usual ideas I wait like million years before I do anything for them. Shortly after Urgot's rework, I decided to make it about his work in Zaun. He is such a great champion, and his philosphy is interesting.

I decided the yordles to be protagonists right before I started writing. First concept of this story included Garen.

These are other things the story was going to include (not all at once):

-A lot more sadder ending. Both Rumble and Tristana were going to die, and Ziggs completed Urgot's plan in his urge to blow something up (see below).

-Instead of summoning Cho'Gath to wreak havoc in Runeterra, Urgot was going to explode the whole sewer level with chem-bombs, causing Zaun and Piltover to fall.

-Mordekaiser was going to be the puppet master controlling the whole thing.

-Warwick was also the main character at the start, even the story is named after his quote. However, it just didn't work for some reasons.

-The fire attack in the Crimson Tooth, I designed it as Teemo's suicide attempt. But since I'm so bad to write anything emotional, it didn't work either. Now the fire thing is just pointless crap.

-Zilean being the first Chem-Baron, instead of Quamo. He was going to time-travel away, everyone thinking he just disappeared.

-Blitzcrank playing the role Warwick now did.

-Various other thingies.

I wanted to include love and sad moments, even though I suck at describing emotions. A story doesn't work without feelings.

The plot changed in my mind often, so some actions may seem unlogical. Midanger's last words will be explained in the epilogue.

Putting Urgot quotes at the start of each chapter was a good idea, I think. They first foreshadowed the chapter, but became just a cool thing soon. There weren't enough good quotes for that.

Also, the chapters were kinda short. Tell me if I should make longer ones.

Main Characters

Tristana

I don't think the introduction matched totally the story's Tristana. But I still liked her.

I hate it when in all action movies, the women need to look sexy even in the middle of a fight. There are just too many examples.

I didn't want Tristana to be another woman like that. I tried to make her tough, a real warrior. A person to be admired by her actions, not looks. But I don't know if I succeeded.

Making her to start liking Rumble was hard, and like I said before, I'm bad at describing emotions.

Rumble

I think I did a decent job with Rumble. In the story, he developed from a shy geek (there is nothing bad being a geek, and one could say I'm one myself) to a brave sidekick.

He was used in the story to start the actual plot, he found Midanger. To be honest, I did kinda 'recreate' that scene when Teemo died. Again, Rumble witnessed someone's death without being able to do anything. How sad.

I made him resistant to alcohol to show his stronger side a little, too.

Animeforliiife's The Prince and the Palm Tree gave much inspiration for me when I 'created' Rumble's character. That's my favourite story in Wattpad, I suggest you all read it too. And follow her.
