Wow! What is your specialization? (If you don't mind me asking.)Hijiri wrote:Forensics major here so seeing my field come up in a VN is interesting to say the least.
We are actually writing Rei to be more of a Medical Examiner with a focus in Forensic Pathology. However, the closest comparison to his relationship with the crime scene would be something similar to that of the character Temperance Brennen from the TV show 'Bones'. (The story will also take place in a made up city, which allows for slight fudging of reality. ) Also rest assured! Aiden is in charge of both the cases present in this VN. Regarding Rei as a sociopath, it is meant to be inferred since it becomes established throughout the plot!It is, but I certainly find it odd that a forensic scientist (going by Rei's profile) is actively working on the case, and not a detective (which Aiden is) or even a forensic investigator. All of these positions are very much different.
...the rest of the synopsis implies Rei's a sociopath, which would explain it. But still, that took some inferring. You might wanna rewrite it to
The plot will consist of Rei's struggles as he attempts to figure out the serial killer he's chasing. With how the plot is written, it will make sense as to why he is unable to figure it out without a little..."help" from someone. I suppose that Rei will become a villain to the player as he must kill some of the love interests to get to an ending.I'll be honest, I'm probably expecting something like Hannibal (i.e. villain protagonist) and not Law and Order or CSI.
All of our plot is based on research, which of course makes if fairly difficult to be accurate, so this book may help us! Thank you for sharing it! Also if you're interested and would be able to help us be as accurate as possible with forensic details, please just send us a note and let us know!Like I said above, maybe rewriting the synopsis since Rei's listed position isn't the right one fore someone actually working on a case and not just working the evidence. I don't know how much experience you may have with the actual field, but if you're doing research, I would recommend the book Forensic Speak since it explains how the field is presented on TV, in movies, and in books, and provides great explanations for different things.
