This is actually my first time posting in these forums. In the official forums and in-game, I'm known as "Vaincre". Since June, I have started work on this project called "Sentiments", which can be pretty much described below:
So, twelve years ago, magicians and alchemists decided that they wanted to screw around with Mother Nature and create human life. As you could expect, Mother Nature struck back and they ended up causing a Erinn-wide mental cataclysm that lasted for three days. It causes everyone to be violent or plain jerkish to one another, as well as leaving people to kill each other and cause building damage. By the end of the three days, they have a vague idea at the back of their mind of what caused it: "Sentiment" is the word that pops in.
TIME SKIP, TWELVE YEARS LATER
Our main protagonist, Sakahara Kuro (family name first, 14 years old) wakes up from a somewhat trippy dream at 2 AM in the morning where he finds himself in what may be Tir na Nog and finds a kid who may be a younger version of him only for it to cut to black and have him find himself in what might be the Soul Stream with a silhouette that might be of Nao. (Take note, he doesn't know what ANY of this is except for the younger version of himself) He sees that a lot of his hometown of Emain Macha is on fire, and rushes out of his house to see what's going on. When he reaches the square, some figure in a black robe being kept in flight by fire (Artistic License in Physics, I know...) spots him and starts to jet towards him. JUST as she makes contact, she gets blasted away by a gust of wind. Turns out, it came from Kuro's caretaker, Sakahara Shiro. As they talk about what the hell just happened, the maiden recovers and dashes at them, pushing Kuro out of the way forcefully in the process and giving Shiro a decent cut on one of her arms with her sword. Kuro recovers as the maiden is about to kill Shiro, when all of a sudden, his eyes glow red and he becomes considerably more confident and badass. After a short conversation, he dashes at the maiden and knocks her away with SPACE. She then proceeds to self-destruct.
That's the first chapter.
While I did have an artist for a time, who helped me get as far as drafting eight of the characters, she later became unavailable (or... something). So, I am looking for an artist currently.
While this series does have its fair share of action scenes, one of the focuses how exactly the main characters (the vessels of the Sentiments) deal with their orphanhood, IF they deal with it at all. It deals with social interactions, especially with adolescents-- in its own right and in a world just rebuilding from a calamity. There will be comedy and laughs, and there'll also be those dark moments. Yes, there'll be blood-- hell, one of the characters uses blood as a weapon.
I'm stating all of that so those who are considering will know what they're getting themselves into. If you have any more questions, I'd be glad to elaborate either on this thread or on my Skype, my username of which I will post at the end of this message. Also, I have a thread on the official forums for supporting character selection, which I will also be posting at the end of this message. If you are interested, you should post a link to a preview of some of your art here in addition to contacting my Skype.
Thank you.
