Defectors have ravaged the planet Gaia and abandoned it in search of a new hospitable environment. This forces all of the wild life left behind to adapt and evolve in order to combat the polluted world.
As they grew to adapt there was a distinct divide between the three factions (water, land, and sky) as each had their own ways to sustain life. This resulted in each faction living separately from one another as their ideologies conflicted.
Do you have the courage to unite the factions and save the planet from ecological collapse?
About the Project
All animals have become anthropomorphic as a result of this forced evolution as a way of mimicking the forms of the Defectors. As they grew to adapt there was a distinct divide between the three factions (water, land, and sky) as each had their own ways to sustain life. This resulted in each faction living separately from one another as their ideologies conflicted. As far as consumption is concerned, microfauna have also evolved to become livestock for the animals.This title will be a 3D point + click style adventure.
Meet a cast of colorful characters!
Unda
A determined artisan that desperately wants to improve her self confidence.Although she may look like a complete pushover, once she has her mind set on something Unda will never let go. Have a conflicting view about her favorite novel? She'll give you 50 reasons why you're wrong and she's objectively right. The only thing in her way is her encumbering anxiety when socializing with strangers. While she has the passion and drive to overcome it she can't alone. Often times she uses her friends and family to fall back on before she can "settle into" conversations. Even then, conversations can be tough, finding herself stumbling over every sentence and not maintaining eye contact. Unda also hates clingy fabric as it irritates her skin.In her downtime she either reads one of the many books in her dad's library, reluctantly plays with her little sister, or hangs out with her childhood friend Tang. Playtime with Lacuna consists of reenacting their favorite stories via LARPing, although Unda insists that she hates it she sometimes gets more into character than her sister. As for Tang, they often hang out at Tang's place and play Dungeons & Defectors or watch sci-fi podcasts.As far as her work life, Unda is tasked with painting and finishing her father's creations to be sold around Reef Village. She has obtained her abilities by studying techniques featured in artisan zines and some basic hands-on training with her father. She takes her work very seriously and hates being disturbed while in the middle of it, thus she locks herself in her room until she's done.
Tang
A spunky techy with a thirst for progress.A prodigy in mechanics, Tang will do anything to improve his setup and build the next step to an optimal ecofriendly energy source. With an insatiable curiosity, Tang thirsts for adventure to scavenge new materials to use in his projects. He usually turns to the internet in order to stay up-to-date with all of the latest tech across Gaia. If he isn't involved in a deep dive on new computer parts you can find him tending to his flora garden, taking notes on behavior and changes of their structures.As far as identity goes, Tang only feels comfortable talking about his gender around Unda and his father. Even then he doesn't talk about it often and chooses to not tell people about it unless he absolutely has to. This isn't to say he isn't proud, he just finds explaining it to be exhausting.
Vice
A tired guard that hates the actions he's made as a result of his job.Loneliness has engulfed his perception of selfcare. He keeps himself distant as to not get attached to others in fearing that if he were they would suddenly disappear. Just like the one he kept close to his heart years ago. To keep these emotions and memories at bay he drowns them in various liquors. Although his scaring and missing limbs present as a sobering reminder.Vice originally chose to work as a border patrol guard as he wished to protect the innocent from malicious offenders, including guards that believe that they are above the law. When faced with conflict he will do his best to stay on the defensive (ex. taking strikes to the body). Very rarely does he ever have to retaliate as most attackers either realize their situation or wear themselves out before they can do any real harm to him. Only in recent years he has started to regret his role in society as his career caused a butterfly effect into the passing of his former lover.Normally a stone cold and stern individual, there have been times where Vice's former softer side comes out. Few have ever seen this side of him these days, but the neighborhood children seem to enjoy playing around him regardless.
Hermes
A naive athlete that desires to challenge folks all across Gaia to prove his worth.Born as the "ugly duckling" of his family, Hermes was never quite treated as an equal amongst his peers and relatives because of his unusually large stature and lack of awareness of others' personal space. As a way to compensate, Hermes pursued a career in kickboxing.A space where neither of those factors matter and where he can openly enjoy himself. After years of rigorous training he found himself amidst an unending winning streak. Every victory he has ever gotten thus far was given to him either out of fear or with little effort. Suddenly he's starting to feel like the odd one out again just for doing what he loves. Perhaps he can find someone to match his blistering strength outside of the Sky faction. Or maybe a community willing to support him in his pursuit of fitting in.
Onoma
A traveling street artist that keeps his identity secret when he's out and about spraying graffiti.He is inspired by comic books and often incorporates homages to them in his work. His main intent is to spread word of how corrupt the system for ruling over factions is through his art.
Quarrel
A poor sap born with a silver spoon, fell into power after the sudden and mysterious death of his parents.He doesn't know heads from tails on how to govern a country but he is forced to cover up this fact. As to who is making him do so is also unknown.Loves the "First Realism" series and yearns to create a game as engaging and rewarding instead of ruling over half of the Land faction.
