| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Disclaimer: Due to the nature/ theme of this series, a maturity warning must be insured, as, at times, it can get pretty violent and, at most, a little disturbing for the audience. And, quite a bit of the time, there will be swear words. The prettiest thing ever! Here is where you can create potential characters to be introduced later on in the series, from issue #4 on wards] So, I've had this idea of a world that is in a Post-Apocalyptic type of setting. However, unlike most apocalypses, it is filled with mythological creatures. I am already up to page 7, and almost finished that. Anyways, I'm probably re-writing history at this point in time, to fit the setting of the stories universe. I've been world-building for several months, and have finally concluded to do the series as a comic. I'll be doing the original version (I'm not to bad of a artist), and my friend will be doing the much better version, as he's a bloody good artist when it comes to this type of stuff, as I'm more of a Paleoartist,but I'm getting better. I'm allowing a maximum of 10 forum members to be characters as well, to include into the survivor list, which I'll be explaining later. I have been thinking about this world and its key plot lines for ages, i.e how one character's actions has affected the entire story line, and almost eliminated the antagonist in this event, but with the antagonist only just scraping his way through. There are three main antagonists, but there will be other human antagonists that try to stop the protagonists along the way. The comic is quite graphic at times, but no sexual themes will happen, and it will be quite violent, and, since my friend is a excellent artist, you'll be expecting it to be quite visible. Anyways, on a more positive note, I'm planning on sending his version off once its done to a author to publish, for at least the first issue. I'll finish my version of the first issue within the next two weeks most definitely, as I'm planning on making it within 25-40 pages long. I'll occasionally be discussing some of the logistics of this world, so you won't just be seeing PDF's as the updates. I've already got the main character list, I'm just looking for ten forum members who might want to either be mentioned or as actual characters. Of course, this is centered around mythology, so you could expect some weird creatures as the story develops. When looking at the mythology I've centered around for the series creature's, I noticed quite a bunch of giant ones, so I decided to make a counterpart, which will be introduced later. So, within a couple of weeks, you'll be seeing a PDF of the first issue on the forums. No one's to overpowered, as, remember, they are just normal people.Also, side note on how the monsters work. If one person dies, five more monsters appear, as if monsters rely on people to multiply. Also, if they get hit by any bullet or sword or whatever, they simply disintegrate, and reform anywhere between a day- 5 months after they've officially been killed, unless, of course, you blow them to absolute shreds. That's for smaller monsters. Larger monsters, on the other hand, can only be killed with either blowing them to shreds or shooting them down with a gun or a bow and arrow.

Here is where you can create your character. They don't have you be you per say, but as long as they are normal people, then it's fine. |

Just made the potential front cover for one of the side-stories I'm doing, called "The Path to Madness", which will explain two characters backstories, and, to be honest, it didn't turn out that bad. Sure, its only got (So far) one character running away from something, but it isn't that bad. |

Then you're in. I've got three communities planned so far for them to encounter. One is a hunter-gatherer society, one was built around a courtyard, but I don't have a description for the third one. And, believe it or not, one of the leaders of those is actually one of the three main villains. |

Main Characters: David Fletcher: A fourteen year old, he was initially thought to be killed after a Gorgon attacked his friends, as shown on the beginning of the first issue. After recovering, he, along with a newly made friend, quickly take up main leadership roles. He is described as having brown hair, with blue eyes. He had many friends before they arrived, but most of them were wiped out during their initial arrival. Samantha (Sam) Turner: A close friend of David's, she lost her family to the monsters when they arrived. She and David, whilst having a good friendship, but have little to no romantic involvements. She often breaks down emotionally, but can be a cold-hearted killer when forced to. She says that, from the moment she met David, she liked him, and often acts as a second mother, because his original died not to long ago. She has chocolate colored hair, with dark, piercing eyes, a rather lean build and has a scarf wrapped around the lower half of her face. When she sees her friends get themselves caught up in danger, she can muster herself together and kill the person who is threatening them. She is the kindest person of the group, and one of the most frail. Corey Hunt: David's best friend and right hand man. He is rather scrawny, and was seen as a bullying target before the monsters arrived. After they came, his confidence grew substantially, and became a sub-leader of the group, under supervision of his dad, Cesar. He, like his father, have a close friendship with the Buckley family, who they encountered whilst on their way to the original camp. Corey seems to have a interest in one of the Buckley's daughter, Ceryl, who trusts him after he saved her life. But, his confidence crumbles before him after he sees his father die (In a later issue) He has black hair, and can have the occasional fit of insanity, although this happens after his father dies. |

Since I will kill of the occasional group member, you can suggest others. |
