A Historical Website from Another World
A Historical Website from Another World
Enter the world of Quickdraw; a place where anyone can claim a supernatural ability of the same name at the age of 21. This website documents the story of Conceptual Quickdraws, a secret classification of ability that was kept secret by a gang of outlaws in the country of Recoil. It tells the tale of Chrys Weather-Heart, the man who took down the outlaws with his ragtag group of allies and brought their secret to the public eye. Three perspectives of this story can be read through the website, One of Chrys' direct account, one of the detective following the case, and one of the Outlaws who are doing everything in their power to stop Conceptual Quickdraws from going mainstream.

This project is my own personal spin on a cowboy adventure, taking place in a western inspired country in the not so distant future. My main goal of this story is to practice writing characters with specific voices. THe story is told through several perspectives, each requiring different mindsets
The home page gives a litle bit of context for the website existing. It is intentionally meant to showcase how the story ends, but not in a way that reveals too much to the reader.
The first segment of the website showcases the main protagonist, Chrys Weather-Heart's direct account of events. It is in first peron perspective, revealing his thoughts about what happened. He is a bit sarcastic at times, which makes him ever so slightly unreliable.
The second segment of the website features the case report of detective Carina Merchant. She has background knowledge of the situation and sets out on a quest to help out Chrys from the shadows. She is predominantly accompanied by Larkin Strange, the sole survivor of a massacre of Conceptual Quickdraw Bearers. Carina's segments feel a bit more official, and feature times and locations in which events take place.
The third perspective comes from the antagonist group, Medusa's Guarden. Run by Santana Burgundy, a high ranking politician within an organization of vigilantes, they are comprised of many influential people who use their power to conceal the existence of Conceptual Quickdraws. These logs often showcase their schemes directly and indirectly relating to Chrys. It also aims to shed light on the mindset of the antagonist group, since the story is told mainly in first person. Throughout these logs, the reader will begon to learn how disfunctional of a group they really are, and how they ended up meeting their end to the protagonists.
In addition to the three main stories, there are also some other documents that involve or happen around the time the story took place. One of these documents acts as a prologue, detailing how Carina and Larkin came to know each other, and why Carina is so dedicated to such a dangerous cause.
