Blog:A fictional storyline I have in the works

'''This blog post is inspired by SuperStreetKombat's own blog about his storyline. You should totally give that a read.'''

Hello everybody. Today I will be telling you of a fictional world that has been in my head for a while and I will be using this blog post to catalogue my ideas. This is a WIP so expect changes to happen every now and then. Anyway, let's get right to it.

Title
Okay, so I don't really have a title for this yet but feel free to suggest one in the comments.

Suggested Titles: Life Off of Virtua (suggested by Ninjacleod89)

The Setting
The world of my story takes place in a fictional continent/country called Avallune. It resides in the Pacific Ocean, between the US and Japan, and, in this timeline, was formed from a rock from the moon splintering off what started as a small chunk of land from North America not long after Pangaea split. As time passed, the moon rock bloomed into a mystical tree and its roots quickly spread, creating new land with each mile grown. Soon enough, a land mass in the shape of a falcon had formed.

Life on this strange new continent soon followed. It began, like all life, in the neighboring oceans. Creatures drawn by the energy radiating from the Moon Tree made landfall and started evolving from there, and a century later sapient life would eventually be born. Such life started with Homo sapiens, but then the Moon Tree began to take effect on several specimens living on the continent. What were created from this phenomenon were creatures one can only find on Avallune, ranging from typical creatures such as dragons, elves, and minotaurs, to completely unique species such as spectarians (humans whose eyes resemble opaque-lens glasses complete with frames), heteromorphs (half-human half-animal beings), and valkyries (essentially winged humans).

The energy produced from the Moon Tree is akin to magic, and is produced in abundance so long as the Moon exists. The denizens of Avallune, upon learning of this mysterious energy, began developing ways to harness it. By collecting material from the plants created from the Moon Tree, the Avallunars discovered that this mutated material had effects that not only applied to their being, but to everything they were fused with. By the Middle Ages, they had fully developed magical tools such as spirit-enfused swords, sapient art-generating rods, and staffs that can harness the power of light. Some even began integrating magic into their beings, with the most noteworthy being people who have embraced the power of their aura and are capable of feats such as super strength and elemental mastery. By the time of the Industrial Revolution, Avallune even began making technology miles ahead of what other nations had developed at the time. Once the Avallune started commerce with the Americans, society began to modernize.

However, with great power also comes the great possibility of misuse. Warlocks with a mastery of destructive energy and generals with a highly mechanized militia have been known to rise up to attempt to realize their own dark ambitions. To counteract this, various leagues have formed with the intent of putting a stop to them before they can succeed. The most notable of these is dubbed the Knights of the Blue Moon. This guild welcomed all with noble intentions, whether they be swordsmen, blacksmiths, mages, or medics. This began a cycle of peace keeping.

The main story takes place in modern times. Aspects of medieval fantasy such as the aforementioned Moon Tree magic have been integrated into the hustle and bustle of modern society. For example, school subjects include advance shop classes (which include making tools with basic enchantments and simple clockwork machines) and alchemy (chemistry mixed with potion brewing), sidewalks are lined with sentient cobblestones who will either guide travelers to their destination or, if cracked, consume them, and modern medicine involves practices similar to those of witchcraft. Magic has also been used to create technology beyond one's own imagination (ie robots with free will, machines fueled by brainwaves, etc.), yet it is exclusively used by the rich and elite people of Avallune. As threat levels have dropped significantly, hero leagues lost their purpose and their stories, such as those of the Knights of the Blue Moon, faded into legend.

Premise
Rodney Dusklight is a 15-year-old boy and the son of Herbert Dusklight, the last known member of the Knights of the Blue Moon. Both have just arrived in Avallune's capitol of Marevent, located in the northwest near the sea, as part of the latter finding new employment after the Knights of the Blue Moon shuttered. Eager to see what his new home has to offer, Rodney stumbles upon a mysterious sword, dubbed the Eclipse Blade, planted in the local park and, upon unwittingly pulling the sword thanks to his new friends' antics, the spirit residing within. Armed with this change in status quo, Rodney and a new cast of characters try to live a normal life amidst chaos caused by the appearance of a warlock bent on taking Rodney's sword, machines going haywire, and the mysteries regarding the nature of Avallune itself.

The Main Cast
This list is composed of the main five characters followed throughout the story.
 * Rodney Dusklight (VA: ???): A virtuous and friendly young man who serves as the main protagonist. He is diligent and responsible with everything he does and is able to see the best in everyone. He is also trusting to a fault, and has a bad habit of naivety. He is also a firm believer of the pen being mightier than the sword, and is reluctant to make use of the Eclipse Blade once he acquires it. He is also somewhat of a dork for being overly polite, to the point of rarely losing his cool, and has a good sense of humor. He has an androgynous appearance with short black hair, and his attire consists of a black polo shirt with white accents, jeans, and black shoes.
 * Proxima (VA: Erica Lindbeck (suggested by SuperStreetKombat))): The spirit from within the Eclipse Blade, and the main deutragonist. Unlike Rodney, she is always looking for a good fight and has a penchant for cracking dark jokes. She is a cunning being who is usually able to prod people into doing what she wants, even if she has to resort to violence to do so. Despite this, she swears loyalty to her newest handler, as she sees enough potential in him to avoid abandoning him. She is capable of switching between two forms: a tall, youthful woman with in a black dress, or a small, black-furred fox.
 * Samson Obdura (VA: ???): Son of the owner of the local cafe, and the first person Rodney befriends in Port Marevent. Compared to him Samson is more laid-back and chummy, if somewhat headstrong and stubborn. However, their philosophies when it comes to combat differ. Whereas Rodney would rather not get involved, Samson becomes hot-blooded and reckless when it's time to battle. His fighting style mixes boxing, wresting and suplex, which is amplified by his mastery of aura giving him a form of super strength, allowing him to hit hard and jump high in the air. His most notable feature is his bushy beard, which is the result of an incident involving a bootleg hair growth elixir he used to try and cure his baldness (it worked, but not in the way he intended), which, combined with a deep baritone, has led many to mistake him for a grown man. Besides that, he has tan skin, brown hair, a sky-blue plaid buttoned shirt, khakis with suspenders, black shoes, and is slightly fat.
 * Fillmore Changeman Jr. (aka Junior) (VA: ???): Son of Fillmore Changeman Sr., the biggest tech mogul in Avallune, and the third person Rodney befriends in Marevent. He boasts of high intelligence, thinking quickly and being able to fashion a solution out of anything he can get his hands on. He keeps a rather comical front, but often acts aloof when he's trying to maintain focus. He and his father are spectarians whose eyes are based on common spectacles. Junior is shorter in stature than the other main characters, has blonde hair, a green shirt with a grey vest and red tie, grey pants, and grey shoes with black accents.
 * Wally Yeasterfeld (VA: ???): A farmer's boy from the outskirts of Marevent, and the second person Rodney befriends. He is kindhearted to a fault, seemingly not knowing what ill intent is. In fact, there's a lot of things this simpleton doesn't know, especially the laws of physics. Wally is capable of things like sudden teleportation when nobody's looking and flying by simply flapping his arms because he just doesn't know that nobody like him should be capable of doing these things. He is also accident prone and likely to stay away from danger. When he isn't working on his parents' farm or on an adventure, he likes to practice music on his lute, which has the power to amplify those who he is closest to. It's because of this that he wishes to make an asset of himself despite his personal shortcomings. He is burly, has messy orange hair, a white shirt under overalls, and brown boots.
 * Ndyes "Maxx" Ulrich (VA: ???): The middle of three sisters, and the fourth person Rodney befriends in Marevent. Like Samson she is hot-blooded in battle, though unlike him she is also hot-blooded outside of battle if her buttons are pushed. Despite this, she usually remains level-headed, if somewhat snarky, and is very analytical of how everyone behaves, allowing her to act accordingly. Having mastered aural power, she is able to unleash flames with a creative use of karate. As she is more in touch with her aura than Samson, her hair is perpetually red in color and her shirt, skirt, and shoes match, and these pieces are combined with blue jeans.

Supporting Cast
This list includes recurring characters, including friends and fellow warriors alike.
 * Prisma (VA: ???): A mysterious elf who is Sir Herbert's mentor and the founding member of the Knights of the Blue Moon. Rodney and co. discover her when on an excursion one day. From there, Prisma comes out of hiding to act as a mentor for the son of her old trainee. Despite her old age (which, for an elf in Avallune, is twice that of other life forms), she is generally plucky and adventurous, and is always one to lighten the mood when the going gets rough. She wields an orb dubbed the Essence of the Sun, with which she can create solid objects made of lights to battle with, including the spirit within known as Scintille. Her appearance denotes her age with slightly wrinkled skin and white hair. Besides that, she has stereotypically pointy elvish ears, a white uniform under a black coat, and brown boots with gold linings.
 * Harry Harthwin (VA: Jeremy Shada (originally suggested for Samson by SuperStreetKombat)): A regular middle class boy who Samson befriends and gradually grows close to. Harry is most likely the most ordinary person in Avallune, possessing no special weapons or powers like his peers. In spite of this, he keeps his chin up and goes about his life like any other non-Avallunar boy his age. That doesn't mean he isn't interested in the fantastical stuff of the continent. Jubilant and headstrong, he is a huge fan of the stories of the Knights of the Blue Moon and other guilds of the past, and his resolve is hardened from it. He dreams of becoming such a hero one day, and sees people like Samson as people to look up to. He has cream-colored hair and a casual getup with a loose grey-striped shirt.

The Villain

 * Vantablack (VA: ???): An ancient warlord from the Aural Plane who declares himself a god. He is shamelessly sadistic, taking delight in the suffering caused by his actions. Despite this, he is soft-spoken in his cruelty whenever he isn't being theatrically hammy with his behavior. His main goal is take hold of the Eclipse Blade as a fuel source for what he dubs a "final solution". He is capable of corrupting others with his own form of aura magic to cause bedlam across Avallune, warp reality to his will, and can shapeshifter into more unnatural forms. His skin tone is completely dark gray with messy black hair. Unusual for his archetype, he wears a tattered black business suit with an equally disheveled tie, and his eyes are covered in shadow save for his blood red pupils.

Type of Entertainment
I am hoping for this to be an animated series, though I may settle for a graphic novel if that isn't possible. As for TV networks… I haven't decided. The series will be going for a TV-14 rating. Story-wise, the show will be like Rick and Morty: mostly episodic with some bits of serialization. The tone will be mostly light-hearted, but that will be dropped when the moments call for it. I will be welcoming any and all voice actors regardless of whether they stick to anime or not.

Well? What do you think? Do you have any suggestions for me?
