Hey! Welcome to my ideas page!
What I'm about to show off are stories/worlds/characters that I've poured from hours to years of my time into creating. These projects are super important to me and one day I want to make them realities however I can. (I'm just really slow to getting these things kicked off)
Either way, let me get to the sharing now~
Also yes, there are watermarks. Some works don't have a signature so I wanna protect my stuff ;v;
Solar 7
Solar 7 is a sci-fi space adventure about a team of rangers that represent each of our solar system's planets that travel around the galaxy, solving problems and fighting bad guys. I've had this idea for YEARS, ever since high school for me which was all the way back in '15.
I've always had a fascination with space. Stars, planets, nebulae, everything around the sun, it's all brought me wonder and creativity, and it's often been a comfort to me. And I've always been curious about an idea of "What would a mega-society in space be like?" So these characters here aren't exactly literal personifications of the planets of our solar system, they are people from these planets that have been recruited by a massive security corporation called GAPU (Galactic Alliance of Planets for the Universe) or The Alliance for short.
With this story, I wanted to aim for the tone of how cartoons from my childhood made me feel. Cartoons like Avatar the Last Airbender, Kim Possible, Codename: Kids Next Door, and a whole lot more made me have a love for action, lovingly crafted worlds, and fun characters. While I don't expect myself to be on their level (I mean, they had large studios and teams of creatives to back them up and I'm only one person) I really want to bring a fun episodic story to others like these cartoons have to me.
Why the name Solar 7? Well it sounds catchy, but that's not the point. It's was the name established by the team once they were up to 7 members. Their Supervisor, Solara (the personification of our sun), pulled a few strings allowing the Alliance to let their team choose a name for itself rather than have a designation like: Alliance team #00129375 or something. And it holds significance to them. Even if their team is small, not well known, and made up of weirdos or outcasts, they still have each others' backs through thick and thin. And nothing will ever change that (even if they have the smallest of indifferences.)
As for the big bad of the universe, there is something I'd like to explain first. I don't want this story to be entirely black and white. Since this is still a narrative that deals with a "society" complex, I want to attempt to add in morally gray aspects to some characters/peoples. Because the GAPU isn't the good guy in everyone's eyes. Kiptrak, a Dark Star, is an embodiment of that. While I don't want to give out much about him, just know that he's not a "villain of the week" or has the intentions of destroying the universe or what have you. He's just someone that wishes to reveal the shadows of the world we all live in.
I wish I could fit everything I've made so far in this section, but there's just too much of it that won't fit in here properly. So for now, if you want to see more Solar 7 things, go ahead and check out the Tumblr site I made for it here: Solar7 Official
GRAVEN (Working Title)
GRAVEN is a PS1 horror inspired story based off of a weirdly intricate dream I had. The world is infected by the GReY virus that mutates humans into superhuman mutants and Dante Marino, a cynical 15 year old, is held in a hospital ward that seeks to cure him from this virus. But he finds that the hospital is holding more secrets than he or any of the patients realize.
To explain a bit, the dream I had was about a kid that looked like Dante here living in a sort of hospital/apartment fusion where the world outside was already taken over by a virus turning people into zombies. Which, alright zombies are fine, but it was a bit overdone so I just switched it up a bit to mutants (Think Parasite Eve if you're familiar with it.) Either way, my dream showed how this kid lived and it looked like a pretty easy life, if not comfy as he ate at these blue noodles from the building's store. But then a while afterward the whole dream took a TURN and showed these creatures coming out
from the basement that wanted to rip and tear and the hospital's patients. It was so creepy and I loved every second of it. So now we're here.
GRAVEN is inspired, as I said, by PS1 horror games, but to that extent N64 and RPG maker horror games. We can all agree that these kinds of games had a strange aura to them whenever we played them, yeah? An unsettling air as we explored dark and grungy spaces alone. I think it also helps that these games were so primitive in their graphics that it kind of triggered that "uncanny valley" feeling in us. (Or at least that's what I get from it whenever I look back at these games) Anyways, this is kind of what I wanted to capture with GRAVEN and I base my artwork off of these early graphics.
Dante here is the main character, closed off and very apathetic in his personality. He's just waiting for the day his treatment is finally complete and he can go back into the world and try to meet back up with his family and friends. It's not apparent in the beginning, but as his story continues, it becomes less and less hopeful to him that he might even escape this hospital alive as it becomes overrun with GReY mutants.
I'm still working on a few world aspects and story points, but I hold this story dear to me as Dante is a part of my love for horror. I had always been scared of scary aspects of movies and games when I was a kid, though growing up I've come to like the genre and how some characters struggle through endeavors bigger than themselves. Sometimes you don't want to read a happy story, and to me that's important. Not everything turns out right, but you make the best of it with what you can do.
So, for now I'll leave you with some more images I've made thus far of Dante~
Aberon (Working Title)
Aberon is a planet of wonder and mystery, just waiting for adventurers and scientists alike to explore. Even its inhabitants know so little of their home world - or is that entirely true?
This story isn't so much inhabited by characters as it is just the world building aspect I'm pushing. This world was born out of the sadness I felt when the MMO Wildstar shut down its servers. It's a game that got me back into playing MMOs and helped me find online friends I still talk to now. Aberon is inspired by other games as well, like Oddworld, Planescape: Torment, and Beyond Good and Evil.
I wanted to make the world more alien than human, each of the races being humanoid, but having their own unique features. Much like Wildstar, there are 8 main races that split up into two different factions, one with a mission to preserve and find artifacts to preserve their history and the other to hunt down these items and sell them on marketplaces. While both factions have their good and bad aspects, both come across a problem on Aberon and it comes in the form of this strange species covered with green tendrils. They are controlled by a god named Ordent who's obsessed with balance, seeking to destroy those in power and raise those in disrepair to new heights. But all in all, the scales must never be tipped in her eyes.
I'm not entirely sure how I would want to tell this story, if I just leave it as a world building piece or turn it into some sort of DnD homebrew kind of thing (which I have little experience in.) But it's a comfort to me, being able to create aspects of different species, their history, and what they look like. I want to create more with this world soon, so we'll see in the future where I can take this!
That's all there is for now! Good job reading all the way through this!
I hope you've enjoyed some insight into my creations~
I'll see you later~! <3
