Background

Alrighty, I thought I'd start off by giving a summary of my comic, which, even after 4 years of writing, remains nameless :p This started as a classroom doodle in geometry class in 9th grade, and has now become something I'm very proud of. I'm terrible at summaries, but I'll give it my best try. By the way, the picture here is going to be the opening drawing of my comic. I'll clean it up and stuff of course lol. I'm in the process of "Americanizing" it I guess, because for the longest time, I've drawn purely anime. It's how I taught myself when I was younger, and it's a hard habit to break. So that means that names and stuff are subject to, and probably will, change in the near future.

But anyway, this comic takes place sometime in the past in a sort of alternate version... You know, I don't really know when lol. It's in the past, but has some current or futuristic elements. One god ruled over nothingness until he decided to end his solitude by creating 3 lesser gods. They embodied Knowledge, Strength, and Balance. To make sure these three didn't end up with nothing like he had, the god made the Universe out of the void. And in this new Universe, there was a small planet that the god gave to his Children so that they could do with it what they pleased, and left them to their own devices. Many years went by without incident, and the Children gave rise to mountains, forests, and oceans on their planet. However, the Children of Knowledge and Strength grew to despise each other, both claiming that their attributes were greater than the other's, while Balance tried to keep the peace. Strength, knowing that she could overpower her sister Knowledge, learned, through the teachings of their Father, how to create. With that power, she created her own race in her image- strong and powerful beasts- which began to inhabit the land. With them, she attacked Knowledge, who in retaliation, created her own people. During the impending battle, Balance sought the help of his Father, who told him to protect Knowledge. With his help, and the help of his people, Strength was defeated and sealed away in a temple, to be guarded by her own people. The people of Knowledge were outraged that no other actions were taken against Strength, and from there a deep-seeded hatred began to grow.

2,000 years later, the ancestors of the people of Knowledge launched a plan to eradicate Strength's people altogether, again aided by the people of Balance. Knowledge had been regretting her actions and what happened to her sister, and became desperate to set things straight. And that's where the story begins!

Phew, that was a lot, but that's the background to my comic. It's nearly everything that leads up to the current events. Oddly enough, the first half doesn't have anything to do with the gods at all. It centers around a ragtag group of kids at first, then branches out from there. I'll try to get other background info posted up when I can.
