Radiance2020

It's been a little over a year since I started this page, and I've come to the realization that I've never really explained what it was for or what the actual project is all about. To be honest, I really haven't paid this page as much attention as I really should have. That is something I intend to change for this coming year. So to kick that off, I decided that I should really flesh out what the point of all this is.

Radiance is the title of an upcoming web-comic series that I am currently writing and developing. The story features my punchy blonde Shannon "Shyne" Rey as she discovers that she is the latest in a long line of predetermined "champions," selected to carry the power of Light in order to protect the essence of life on Earth. She will be going up against the forces of Darkness, death and shadows, led by the mysterious, powerful, and sadistic Val (full name pending). Helping out Shyne in her struggles will be the once brilliant Detective Auburn Braddock, who just so happens to have her own share of enemies and demons after her. The series will feature epic battles between good and evil, mysteries, gangs and mob bosses, thieves, assassins, magic, necromancy, and probably more that I haven't thought up yet, all with (hopefully) an epic mythical feel to it.

That, all of that, is just on the surface for anyone looking for an entertaining read (hopefully this satisfies some level of entertainment). At it's core though, Radiance is a story about a young adult - with her own goals, desires, and aspirations - who is suddenly faced with an unexpected responsibility that forces her to reexamine everything about her life. Most importantly, she will start questioning how she views life and death. What it means to do more than just exist. How her life affects those around her. If she is able to overcome the death of someone close to her, and if death really should be seen as this ominous thing to be feared.

I know there's going to be a lot going on with this, but hopefully I am able to write Radiance in a way that's clear and concise without losing any of the deeper themes. Simply put: I'm going to work to make Radiance as awesome as possible!
