Influential Board

I found that stylistically my main influences range from dark, gritty and grungy themes to futuristic desolation's and oriental aesthetics. i grouped them accordingly and found that there was a relationship which culminated in a sort of fusion that i really like. The marriage of western ideas into an eastern medium is done often and in a charmingly interesting way most prominent in anime where they take western ideas and present it with an eastern spin. shows like Heroman where it is set in america and aliens attack, or beck where it presents how rock music is influenced heavily by the american scene. These i found to be very strong although altered representations and i feel that the relationship of translating western ideas for an eastern audience/or in an eastern medium can be flipped to do the reverse in an equally charmingly interesting.
whether it is skateboarding ninjas, or metal head samurai i think there is untapped potential that could actualize into some interesting narrative world.

i also sorted out a schedule with some milestones to manage my time appropriately.

I then went on to start on some of the paperwork.

Player(s): Is the game single or multiplayer? Single Player

 Genre: What genre is it (if it is a hybrid, or no genre is easily identifiable, what genres are influences?)

Action Adventure Rpg

 Background: Where does it take place? What story or backstory drives the experience? Who are the main characters of the story, or what is the main focus of the experience?

Story 01

WHERE: Near Future; Technology has evolved to a point where it has taken organic properties from the environment and fused with the Geological constitution of the land constructing hybrid cyber-organic structures that grow and expand at irregular but manageable intervals.

The spontaneity of the worlds evolution has left man fighting with each other as one side believes that the study of the evolution can be harnessed for the potential technological advances the hybrid materials can allow. Whereas the opposing side believes the evolution to be a bad omen and that, the evolution goes against the forces of nature and the way the world was “meant” to be.

As this moral debate takes place, a simultaneous famine takes over most of the world as the cyber-organics take place over many farming lands proving difficult to get rid of as crops and produce deplete as a result.

Avatar starts as a product of testing the fusion of the hybrid materials on human subjects, weaponized to battle the naturalists. Meets characters on his squad in battles who present their case for the side they fight for, then he gets left behind in a battle. The naturalists take him in and inform him of the bad things the tech do to people. Fights for naturalists for a while. Then upon exploring the headquarters he finds that the leader of the naturalists has hidden agenda. Avatar forced to pick who to fight for with smll team of allies from both factions who have defected.

Story 02

Young civilisation is constantly disputing with each other over land and lifestyles, thus not making the most of the gift of life. The gods then dispelled powerful creatures onto the world to punish man for their ignorance. amidst the slaughter, man realises that they cannot survive much longer if they do not come together to fight the common enemy. The 5 factions assemble together pulling resources together and fight the creatures to no avail they conclude they cannot kill something created from the heavens. In order to counter this the druids devise an apparatus to contain the beasts in once slain into submission. The greatest warriors from all factions then tyrade through the land capturing the creatures, losing some of their own along the way. Once a creature had been captured they are spread to a distant land to be watched over by an appointed guardian whose family would be tasked with defending the vessel from those looking to seek its power. Their family would train their younger generations to capable to defend the vessel from any situation.

Fast forward to the present day where the creatures are still secure in captivity, until a betrayal in which the power of a godsend has been unleashed. The guardian of one of the vessels finds a way to harness the great power of the beast and reign over the city. He seeks to harness the remaining vessels so he may be stronger and no other would be able to harness on of their own and attempt to overthrow him.

The player would assume the role of an avatar who was the descendant of guardian, but whose elder sister assumed the role, being the first born. The avatar's sister would be slain defending their family vessel from the tyrant. The player would then go on a mission of revenge to try and stop the tyrant and return the stolen creatures to captivity and restore balance.

I plan to come up with more stories that i could develop further.
