Fun Facts & Scrap Ideas from [ Verdania ].

  

Hello ppl from the Internet... 

I wanna share some of fun facts & scrapped things that didn't make the cut... on making my first published Fiction/Fan-Fiction story: 

[ Verdania ]

(sorry for the grammar, thx...) 

 

 ---------------- 

 

 

• First thing is Zane's original name is simply just [ REDACTED ], like literally just that name, because i originally wanted to hid the MC from public to fit within the story, also no, he really never had a name btw. 
• The Courier idea was for playing too much Fallout: New Vegas ...Also this is just his side job, unlike the final release where Zane's job is just being a mailman/courier for The Vultures
• I've thought quite of stories before but for some reason I never wrote all of it, and yes... this is my very first time publishing it on the internet too, plus its my first fan-fiction too.
• The setting for the whole story was simply a parody of "a corrupt government" trope mix with the most insane stuff from the original game from roblox, yes its also completely inspired from Average Day in America, where i also played a ton back then, because its the closest thing i know of GTA Multiplayer on Roblox basically...
• Zane's Snap state almost didn't make it as much impact in the early days of writing this hellhole, even though i did experiment on how people in his situation react to his surrounding, so i implement it more to the story to tell you guys like this is the climax of the story, and makes Zane unpredictable as much as possible as who knows what he'll do the next day...  

 

 ----------------

 

• Sierra's name was originally: "Emily", but it basically feels wrong when in a atmosphere this dark and a gang leader, nope...
• Sierra originally survives the end of the story at the early drafts that ultimately became lost to time, and both of them would rebuilt a new gang where Zane became the new leader, and... return back to Verdania in the sequel to make the state a better place once again, and finally then fights the Red Rose to vengeance Jax's death, but that idea had no impact when Zane snaps and then "saves" his mentor/leader of  The Vulture's gang from death, 
• She originally dies longer till they got out of the state, where Zane buries Sierra on a unmarked grave, which also got cut, and instead Jax survives and there's gonna be a mourning scene and both dude's live their normal lives, but i decided there would be NO Sequels to Verdania, except a prequel is good, but no idea which character would be the protagonist, until i realized there's two from the main that didn't get the spotlight: "Sierra & Jax".

• Also both Zane & Sierra are based on me and my "ex-friend", (NOT my girlfriend btw), we played a lot after sharing her ADIA, as my roleplaying as a mailman, and her basically is a sociopath in-game, which that was my original idea for Emily, now Sierra's character, but the gang leader concept idea was easier to write... 
• Lastly the music playlist idea wasn't there on the extras category as i dunno what music to pick, but when i finally did decided to keep it, the genre was like metal, as it fit the vibe, but its off... until, Country Rock Music genre exists and that's where i got the inspiration to complete the whole story from the start till the end, 6 months later. (yes I've wrote that on January 6th of 2026) 

 

That's all the things that I've remembered on the development of [ Verdania ] back then and eventually shared here in this blogpost, thanks for reading this entire thing,..

(and i dunno if you might get inspired from here to try cooking your own story eventually),
