1A. Right now, I'm taking classes in Java and C++. It’s a lot of work, but the end results are satisfying.

1B. For PE criteria in my villain, depending on his actions and his mitigating factors, he could qualify. Maybe I can convince you by telling the plot from his perspective.

Before mutating, he was a scientist studying the alien in quarantine. He's accompanied by his fiance, who he tends to slap and push whenever she messes up. Seeing how the scientist wanted to take crueler methods to test the alien's psychic abillities, the fiance releases the alien into the wild out of pity for its suffering.

It’s then when the alien meets the blind girl. The scientist eventually becomes aware of this and takes the girl hostage for the alien to return to his lab. He sets up this arena-like game where he wants to show how the alien can be enforced with military purposes by forcing it to battle his own creation: this lion, snake, bird hybrid thing that he exposed to the alien’s DNA. The alien and monster stop fighting when the girl calms them, showing everyone that the alien is not malicious, but scared.

But where I can deem the scientist pure evil, and especially where he crosses the Moral Event Horizon, is when he throws a child into the arena to prove how hostile the alien is to humans. The general tells him that's going too far, prompting the scientist to shoot him. The alien instead returns the child to her mother, angering the scientist enough to expose himself to the alien’s genes to turn himself into a monster, destroying and killing everyone who stands in his way. Now delusional, he wants to become a god who can reshape the world, while evolving those he saw fit with his serum and enslave everyone else. In the end, the alien and girl defeat him by splitting him from the genes, returning him back to human. Then the lion-snake-bird eats him.

2. Are you familiar with Water for Elephants and The Relic? In that case, I'm always open for someone to lend me a hand. I'm going to create August first since on the Google Doc where I'm keeping my unfinished pages, I've got around 3 paragraphs done for his page. I haven't started with Kothoga yet. Right now, I'm busy working on a few PE Proposals, but I'll try to have him done sometime later this week.

3. For the main heroine, I want to see an action girl who can actually stand up to the dinosaurs without screaming. Wouldn't that attract more of them to your location instead? As for that black guy, while seeing him as a girl would be neat, I just want him to live much longer than to just be a quick meal for the Spino.
