My plot is mostly sorted out now, but there are a few bothersome details that I wouldn't mind some help with. :)
1) My mainest of main characters is a inspirational figurehead type, with enough charisma that he- at on point- manages to persuade a very, very minor villain-type to join his cause (a revolution against said villain's evil overlord master). I want to do this without it being too hokey, which is why I chose a super low-ranking, probably not very loyal villain who's vaguely predisposed to swap sides anyway. My question is... how and where? I think it's going to have to take place in a city or out in the wilderness. What is the mindset of this person, and why are they so willing to change sides? What arguments does the MC use to persuade them? How do they meet in such an environment that they can even have this conversation? (If it helps, said MC is a very "you must do what's right! justice and goodness compel you! <3" sort.)
2) I have four characters who are musicians with the ability to fight by channel power through their musical instruments. One plays the bass, another the violin, another the shamisen, and the last one sings. I have vague ideas for how the bass and the shamisen might cause damage, but I can't figure out what I want vocals/violin to do.
3) I need a situation/place in a big city for two of my MCs to meet and start a conversation.
