World Creation

I was watching some of the special features on X-2 today and got some inspiration on world creation. Even the most detailed world lacks some important things, mainly the stories not told at that time. Every world is full of stories and every character has many stories.

This connects to an earlier though I had about the end of a story. No one's story really ends until the character dies and all the stories of that character can not be told.

True depth comes into a world when characters have stories that outlast them and the current stories. Many comic books succeed in this area because they are serials and stories keep building on top of each other.
