ATTENTION EVERYONE! Major update.

As you have seen above i have redesigned Tektite, but no one really asked why she's an elf and or why her gem is in her Scythe.

What is the reason for this? well after some lengthy discussions with big name artists about my AU i was told that the sheer scope of my AU and the immense changes to the lore of SU making my story completely different than anything in the show i would be better off taking my notes and lore and reforging them into an original concept.

with that i mulled it over and asked the art team and we all agreed we should, so we have secretly been crafting an entire world and story from scratch! and i will tell you that is no understatement we have an original setting, power system, characters and story slowly being filled out. my goal is to craft a setting that doesn't just fit the narrative of a single story but is a fully fleshed out world that i can have multiple stories running in it. much like a DnD world with adventure paths and novels.

Setting - The comic will take place withing a High fantasy world akin to Dungeons and Dragons, complete with magical creatures, and mixes of technology and magic in fun an interesting ways. The world is not only filled with mortal and magical races but Gods live amongst them carving out kingdoms for their ideals or pillaging and destroying other gods creations. in order for these gods to come to the mortal world they had to shed the vast majority of their powers and godly essence and confine their soul within a Soul gem that sources their powers and allows the creation of divine children, the gods have domains that mortals participating in these domain activities gives them power. for example the god of the forge gains power from craftsmen working metal and creating artwork of the forge!

Some gods covet the powers of other gods and seek their destruction shattering their soul gem and consuming their soul (Oh no!), if a gods physical body is destroyed their soul gem will use their stored power to manifest a new one but if the god is too weak or is otherwise unable to reconstitute themselves they will opt to have a mortal or divine being absorb their soul and allow them to ascend to take their place.

The main story will follow a 5 Person party as they adventure across the lands discovering the secrets of their past and becoming stronger to eventually save the world from destruction. seeing many good and evil gods along the way experiencing different cultures and diverse landscapes.

The art team and I are super excited to bring this to everyone and you will get to see new character concept art going forward and i hope you all enjoy this even more than the AU :heart:
