This is an ambitious project bringing talents together to develop comics, games and other entertainment from the characters and stories created below.

The story is being told through the characters in short story chapters or arcs. With the exception of the pilot, more stories will come out and will weave together. I believe you can just follow one character(s) and still have a satisfying experience but reading through these before the additional parts will give the biggest picture. These are rough drafts so don't judge any typos that haven't been cleaned up yet. Keep checking back for new stories!
Sophie's Story.docx
An introduction to a few of our first few characters. Our first readers seem to enjoy these characters a lot and this has the first concept art available. Please email below any input you have about these as they are also the most interesting for me to write so far. Social media for addl art on the way
Christopher's story.docx
These characters are also a lot of fun for me and are next on the list of concept work. The visuals for the eponymous character are fun but difficult to express in an image.
Diomede vs Cain.docx
Even including the names here is a bit of a spoiler. These characters are an exercise of new expressions of existing and familiar characters. In an ideal world, there will be a lot more of this kind of thing even if these characters may not have as much content as others.
Inanna and the goblins.docxHonestly, there may not be a lot more writing of these characters but the visuals imagined here are tons of fun and especially important for the cast in a video game. This is another important one for me for any feedback.
The plight of Python.docx
This is the first character to cross over with other characters, but that's coming up later. Visually this character isn't throwing much out, but is a big deal for me in terms of storytelling.
Chao-Shi and the Dragon (1).docx
I'm really excited for the aesthetics of the characters involved here. There's some personal love infused in each of the characters here. The universe writes itself sometimes and I'm hoping all these guys get to play more.
Friar Stuart and Sister Mercy V2.docxThese vibrant characters were a lot of fun, and so was their challenge. This went through a couple of re-writes as we have found cool urban legends and folklore to work with. Hope you have fun with this one, more may come like it!
The Professor and the Homunculus.docxI may have been overcaffeinated when I wrote this and she became one of my favorite villains. As the conflict grows, Professor Priscilla Fauntleroy, her sidekick Dr. Quickwit and their army of diaper-wearing homunculi must have a greater presence.
Odysseus and the Ass.docxIf I didn't have someone with some standard-issue equipment in this world of lunacy, I think it would have been sad, and there isn't enough Medic love out there. Email me if you figure out the secrets behind the city and the ass.
Sophie and Karos part 2.docx
The greater plot starts to develop and the different characters start to interact. Our Heroine is learning to do her own fighting and make new friends.
Sophie and Karos_ Enter Asmodeus edited.docx
I couldn't honestly write a story like this without admitting that if Sophie is fighting demons, they will be after something specific.
Christopher and Maria part 2_ A Metropolitan Monster.docx
Christopher gave me the chance to exercise some social humor while advancing the story. As the characters weave together more, it will slowly push everything to a crescendo. In the mean time, the intimate exchanges that affect people are fun.
Jessie and the demons.docxA little scarier of a story as a new hero is made in the face of evil. Some of the evil plot is revealed.
Bonus round_ Beach Battle.docx
Inspired by the random fanservice episodes of anime where the characters just go to the beach or a hot springs with no real explanation, I wanted to play with that. It ended up being a lot of fun to write. This is maybe fuzzy canon for the story, but for the ultimate game, there will need to be lunacy like this.
Sophie and Karos part 3.docx
Keith is really making his pudgy presence known as the team tries to successfully secure their first relics. Villains and heroes alike learn that nothing comes easy, though (pun may be intentional).
Keith and Python's Day Out.docx
Even sidekicks are allowed to have some fun, but it gets a little loopy for these two. Can't trust anyone these days.
Sophie vs Python.docxAfter the events of the day out above, Sophie and Python finally settle their differences. Just have to be careful in a schoolyard brawl against a demon...
Christopher and Maria 3.docx
Tension rises with the duo and Adrian as they continue to pursue more relics, the question is whether or not there is any real bonding between these two happening. A genuine conflict may suss that out.
Doris at Avaratia.docx
This story actually got a lot of laughs but also advanced the story in an important way. Obscure folklore is fun and this actually fit well into existing folklore. Think Doris could be a killer?
Jessie, Mercy, Stuart and the homunculi.docxSurviving her pursuers forced Jessie to make a surprising alliance. Meanwhile a new product is tested in the field.
Shawna and Davinci's To Do List.docxWhat seems like a kind gift between a struggling couple gets them caught up in the greater battle. Without knowing it, they may be a catalyst to the conflict.
Final Fight 1 Final Draft.docxSophie and her friends are compelled to help a stranger against their rivals which forces them to redefine the idea of victory.
Doris meets Diomede.docxThe earnest young woman finding herself looking out from the inside of cryptozoology makes a surprising friend on her way to try to help
The Lazarites vs World Travelers.docxSSG Izzy, Chao-Shi, Sun, and the Ass find their path to where they need to go but there's more than just a cult in their way. The last of the demons stand in their way as well.
Shawn's story.docxNinja's are important
