New Aires- The city beneath a city with a dream....

     New Aires, where the western world goes to die. This is the biggest city that The Bureau/Alliance still lends its economical hand to. This is the city they hope to start the rebuilding process for the western world. The area to the north, which is the southern portion of America, is what we refer to as the "Outlands" which is where society has completely broken down and they just live to live and have to go about getting provisions and whatever they need any way possible. I really want to focus on the way people have reverted to hunting and scavenging by any means necessary. I was thinking after Damien wakes up from his dream  and is in the woods with the rain pouring down on him lighting up his smoke he heads back out on the trail to wander the trek to New Aires. There will be a decent portion of the story played out here in the Outlands so we can really set the mood for how dark and hostile the lands can really be. There will be some mutations I plan on bring to the table...so be ready for some sweet beasts.
     Back to New Aires, This is a very dark place, a place where the rich can get anything they want at the snap of their fingers, and the poor struggle to eat scraps. This is a place where a revolution must be born, where the voice of the people will rise like a tidal wave that will one day envelope The Alliance and bring it crumbling down. The city at its core is a busseling metropolis(well as much as it can be for the time being) but the further you get away from the center, which is where the main nuclear power source is, it gets worse and worse.
     Buildings are constructed from the foundation of the ruins of a city destroyed by the world war and pretty much shanty towns built on top of it for the people on the outskirts.Electricity is not something easy to come by in these areas unless they somehow hack into the power grid for a day or two, which is something that is not an easy task to accomplish so they try not to waste the opportunity unless they can use it to a strategic advantage.Day and night aren't really distinguishable in the bigger cities due to the pollution that pours out of the oil/coal powered grids and other forms of power generators that the upper class get to use, unless you are a couple miles out of town. Which will also have some effect on the weather, which will consist of acid rains and other hardships people must face due to not only the pollution but the nuclear fallout that still has a slight affect on the world around them.
     Now when it comes to the layout and accessibility of the city it depends on the region of the city you are in. When you are in the heart of the city, where the money is funneling into, it looks very much like a normal metropolitan area with skyscrapers and beautiful architecture. These sections of the cities have weather simulators so they can control the weather and make their lives more habitable. Which in turn creates more pollution and other adverse side effects to the surrounding areas. The outer areas where the poor and downtrodden are forced to claw their way through life are very inhabitable on the outside, but underneath the rebellion has given birth to a new form of society. Where there is still democracy by elected officials for the good of the people. This however is constantly attacked and beginning to crumble, people are eating less and they are running out of room. They have started heading underground and have been building there, but without the numbers and supplies these things are getting harder and harder to do. This is where the Leaders come in and are looking for new answers, new ways to create order in this world of chaos by bringing down The Alliance at whatever cost necessary.

The opening scene-Welcome to our world...

     The scene opens up with Damien sleeping, then we jump into his dream. Its the night his mother and sister were murdered by Bureau Agents.His older sister got him out through the trapdoor in his mother's room beneath her bed. The trapdoor is for the nuclear fallout shelter they had installed a year before the bombs were dropped on the 8 major cities in the United Sates among other sites around the globe that were against the Alliance in the end all war.
     As the Agents kick the door down and subdue his mother and sister, we are informed that they were "warned to get the Fuck out!!" The lead Agent, Jackson, comes walking in after the commotion settles down and they have his sister tied and gagged, and his mother cuffed standing in the middle of the room trying to stand tall telling Jackson "Fuck You...My husband built this house with his bare hands, who are you to tell us to leave?!" "We arent hurting anyone way out here why do you insist on forcing us out? We aren't going to be forced out by the scum of the earth looking for total control for your "New World""  As Jackson cirlces he begins to chuckle to himself," You were told to leave...you want to play games bitch? Well games are starting tonight...and you wont be enjoying our games, especially when your daughter gets front row seats to what will surely be a grisly string of events leading up to her own slow end." His mother standing there eyes wide knowing the true hell she is about to face begins to beg for her daughters life," Please don't hurt her, she hasn't done anything she is just a child!" "She looks plenty grown up to me", chimes in an Agent who is laying next to her on the bed, stroking her hair and wiping away her tears. "We warned you too many times Patricia, you should have listened...for your family's sake." says Jackson as he walks around Damien's mother smelling her hair and running his hand across her neck. "Get the fuck off of me you piece of shit!, I will never leave my home because of some FUCK HEAD, who thinks he can just force people out of their homes!" Jackson looks her in the eye and says," If only more of you would just leave...we wouldn't have to force anything." "But, because you are all so goddamn proud we have to do things...well the hard way as it were." As he snaps his fingers and points to his men," You two take the girl, and you to take care of this unpleasant woman...after your done searching the place.....burn it down." Patricia and Damien's sister Jenny begin to kick and scream, but to no avail they were going to die here tonight...going to be forgotten by the land, forgotten by the world....but not by Damien. He will never forget this night as he peaks out from under the trapdoor to see his mother and sister beaten, raped, and left for dead while they search the home and farm. After about an hour of searching and Damien trying to get the courage to step out of the bunker and see if his family was still alive. He hears JoJo, Jackson's second in command give the order to"Burn it down, make sure it looks like an accident...We were never here!!", he shouts.
     After hearing this Damien squeezes out of the trapdoor trying to gather his bloody and broken mother and sister into the trap door before the whole house comes crashing down. He at the last second gets his sister into the bunker as the house caves in, He sits and rocks back and forth as he holds the bodies of his sister and mother until he finally falls asleep.
     So I don't really know how I want this to all play out, I don't know if I want this to be something we come back to here and there giving readers only a glimpse at a time and over the breadth of the novel they learn the truth, not only about what happened to his family, but what drives his insatiable quest for Jackson. I am hoping to make this whole series of dreams very vivid, very cruel and heartbreaking. I want this to be the egg I drop into your brain and make you start to hate The Alliance/Bureau.

Opening Scene

     So I started writing the opening scene tonight and I am really pumped! I think this is going to be a very integral part to getting people on the side of Damien, getting them to see and feel his hatred and passion for bringing down The Alliance/Bureau. Which in essence is the whole point of this blog....I want you to get a feel for these character, I want you to know why Damien became himself, why he is such a loner out roaming  for months on end until he finds New Aires and "The Leaders". I think the best part about it all so far is how intense the scene is, how brutal and raw the events are that are taking his family away.
     /on some other great news I think I have found my illustrator for the time being...My guy Dean is gonna take a look at the script and hopefully we can get a storyboard rockin and get you guys some sample artwork to get your chops tingling! I m also in the process of writing a new character...Thanks Nate! and should have her somewhat rounded out here in the next couple of days. I think she will be an addition a little deeper into the story of Damien, I am hoping I can sneak her in as a somewhat tail for him, like an orphan on the street who has done all she could, good or bad, to stay alive. She should be ready soon so hopefully you all can get excited about that!! Well thanks again for taking a peek into my world and tell you friends to fucking get on this shit its only getting better!!!!!

Ok so here are the characters for now...

     Ok so these post I have thus far are just the beginning to my blog. I just wanted to start by getting all of the info I had so far put together so I can continue with my writing in an organized fashion. I am planning on blogging pretty erratically to be honest...I mean it will be everyday or every other day I just for now wont have a set time I guess. So please tell your friends(if you have any) who are artists looking for something to mess around with some characters or whatever. I really want to collaborate with an artist on this project. If I can't find someone I am just going to make a novel out of it with post chapter art from random friends(if I have any) doing the artwork. Kind of a "Vampire Hunter D" style novel.

     I am however pleasantly surprised at the number of views I have accumulated thus far, and the awesome follower Miss Kar!!! Thanks for giving a shit its pretty cool. I hope you are all enjoying the characters so far and if you are please comment, tell me what you think tell me how they strike you, if you could get to know him or her. That's the point of this blog, to have you put in your 2 cents about it.

     So once again thanks to everyone and I look forward to creating a world you want to believe in. Characters you feel for, or just despise as much as I do.

The Alliance-They who lead behind closed doors rule it all.

The Alliance- The main antagonist. A group of World Leaders that waged The Great War on the world. A secretive panel of the 5 remaining leaders which are never live in public due to the assassination of the other 4  throughout the past decade. They are only heard through the obnoxious propaganda, which is all obviously meant for the upper class people that the Alliance is trying to help populate the world through the eradication of the poor and diseased. As a form of all around military/police they have instilled in The Bureau. They work completely behind closed doors and are by all accounts "Untouchable". The only time we get to really see them is when they are in conference with the leaders of The Bureau. They are only ever referred to by their numerical order in which their screens are in the conference room.

Sorry prolly not gonna get much done today...

At the doctor right now, my son is sick so I wont have anytime today.Hopefully tonight I can write for a while.Still looking for an artist....just pick a character and let me see the style and feel u get and we can go from there.

The Bureau-The New right hand to the Government

The Bureau- The military/police put in place by The Alliance after the 4 public assassinations shorty after The Great War.They are the “face” of the collective government in the “New World” so to speak. A very corrupt group hell bent on wiping out the remaining Freedom Fighters so they can implement their New Society, in which the rich have complete free reign over the world and can start from scratch on the new humanity they all dream of. They are the #2 enemy of The Leaders of The Lost, but only 2nd to The Alliance. They have “Agents” that police the world, because there is no form of local government and a “fair trial” is a thing of the past. You would be lucky to live after an infraction against an “Agent”. “Agents” are The Bureau’s military, judge, jury, and executioner. Based out of New Aires, they control everything in the new world. Strict laws and curfews are put in place so that anyone who disobeys is taken into custody and the chances of being seen again are slim if at all. The only places they don't really have any power is in the outlands. Where people, if you can even really call most of them people, have free reign if they can survive the harsh climate.
