That out of the way...
one of the mail character is a 12 year old orphan boy. i need to come up with a good story on how his parents died. they have to be murdered somehow by the indirect actions of evil people
You may want to be aware of the fact that tragic pasts in which the parents died from the actions of the villain or otherwise evil team/people that may or may not even show up in the story often ends up as cliche, Mary Sueish, or generally awkward and forced, no matter how you do it. What I mean is if you're trying to create a character with a past like Batman's, your character may end up becoming one of those perfect characters we call Mary Sue... or otherwise heavily predictable.
In literature (and media in general), it always seems that both parents die in a car accident or as a result of someone else's actions (murder, accident, what have you). If you want to kill someone off, you may want to go for something different either way, just to avoid the "well, we've seen
this before" factor.
Not to mention it's often a convenient plot point to get a character involved (or otherwise evolve into a goody-two-shoes, crime fighting character) if his or her parents were killed off by the villain or other evil character. Personally, I just think this kind of thing is fairly unbelievable, given the fact that very rarely does things fall into place just perfectly like this.
But if you really want to go through with this, then my advice is to think about
who killed them first. If it's just a street thug, it's going to be violent, with weaponry. The middleman (working people below executives such as CEO and the government) will probably kill with vehicles, actual weaponry, poisons, explosives, et cetera, but most likely, it's probably going to be an accident. (One creative method I've seen is someone being killed by someone else's body being thrown off a building.) However, if they're evil, then the accident is going to be that the parents are going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that's true for any of these scenarios.
Executives go about it extremely indirectly. They may employ thugs to go out and take care of something for them, which may end up being death by the middleman. Alternatively, they may starve the parents by forcing them out of a job if they're business executives, although you may want to be creative about how the kid survived. If they're government, you may be looking at military combat on the streets, government-induced famine, or time in a concentration camp-like facility, among other possibilities. Because of the indirectness of the method of death by executive, I personally would recommend going with death by street urchin or death by middleman because it's far too difficult to explain how the kid survived while the adults died.
also i would like a good description of a furret that i could use to introduce the character
Stare at
the images in this link for awhile and write every detail you see. We really can't write a description for you for two reasons:
1. We don't know the context.
2. You're the author of this fic, not us.
