DEDICATION

Iwould personally love to dedicate this to my grade school speech teacher, who helped me better understand speech, with my speech impediment. I’d also want to dedicate this to my special resource teachers, my English Teachers & Instructors, for helping me along my journey to becoming an outstanding writer. I also want to dedicate this to my beautiful, intelligent, and amazing mother & grandmother, who was loving and supporting for so many years. My grandmother for having undying confidence in her own grandson and the numerous close friends I’d made in order to make this story. I want to acknowledge my teachers from grade school to High School for helping me get this far, in my very hard journey to become an Outstanding Writer.  I personally want to thank a special woman, who’s words of encouragement have given me the never-ending strength to continue to finish my Chief Work and make it a legend. Also want to thank my girlfriend, for supporting me, while I work on this really hard, but very rewarding work. I also want to dedicate this to the numerous people I’ve met in my journey, who have always been supportive, encouraging, and believed in my ability to be an Outstanding Writer, especially to those who have criticized my work, in order to see it become a classic. I would also love to take this time to say that I’d dedicate this work to every single anime and manga I’d read and watched up to this point; the main inspiration on how I was able to come up with Celestial-Terrestrial Warriors in a nutshell, let alone being the foundation that helped me inspired me to create the series, is none other...Avatar: The Last Air-bender. I’m personally glad that Japanese Animation and Comics came into my life and influenced my storytelling, as a storyteller. And lastly, I want to thank the game Exalted, that was published in 2001, for giving me the inspiration for creating characters that have a sense of mythology, lore, and intrique to them.

❖  Author’s Thoughts#1:

When I first thought up ‘Celestial-Terrestrial Warriors’ in the beginning, originally, it was supposed to be a homework assignment that I made back in late ‘04 and early ‘05 , when I was still a sophomore in High School. Because it was either going to be that, or I was going to call it Heavenly/Earthly Fighters and/or Divine/Mortal Warfare for that matter as well. Something that dealt with outer space , and having a sense of outwardly, the extra-terrestrial , as well as a sense of the heavenly embody as well as the spiritual, but no matter what, the warfare was going to be there, no matter what it was. As well for the "Earthly ", or the Terrestrial , it was going to talk about the mortals who’re earthbound to fight, and can’t reach the very celestial , heavenly , and/or sky , in the physical form that they are. Something real deep in both its meaning, and using a planet, that would serve as the intermediary and/or connection, to both those worlds, as a whole.

Also, around that time, I’ve also played this RPG called Exalted, which has a similar storyline of having these angelic, holy beings. But now, with my mix, it’s being implanted into these dignified souls, who once they’ve managed to unlock it, they’ll be able to train their powers, to really make a difference.

After re-reading through the whole prologue once again and thinking about it, I saw potential for a great series, for it to be adapted from the future book, through a television adaptation as well. So, I decided to keep it going and just see what else I can do to make it more interesting. To make these characters into quintessential and/or the ideal characters, for what they’d stand for, and have them be unique in their own particular way. So yeah, 2005 was a great year for me, because not only did I’d get to watch a great show called The Last Air-bender that came out during the middle of the year, but it was also when I was in the most shape in High School, as well as taking my first Art Class, and slowly and steadily progressing getting degrees in the fields of Art, such as Graphic Artist and Graphic Design.

It was also around that time, that I’d also would write the teleplay for the series called Heavenly/Earthly Fighters, and hope one day, that it would become a great animated series, just like Avatar: The Last Air-bender, as well. From there, I’d expanded on it and has conjured up two of the chosen people who are the ones to break the curse in itself, Evan W. Ken-Ra {Ken Slayer is what he should’ve been named but he also possess the powers of the Sun-Ra} and Lucifer Sugoi/Sugaar, the one that’s said to be the ultimate revival of the Red Dragon name and rule all of Empyrean, which in time will become the second earth, and where they’ll come together to protect from the forces of darkness that’s to come in the near future. There were also future contests that were very beneficial, and were some great opportunities for me to get more exposure for the work. One of them was Script Pipeline, which was around for a while now. And now there’s a new one, called Book Pipeline, where future Authors such as myself, could benefit from this as well.

I’d also decided to write down a great deal of facts and notes in the Celestial/Terrestrial Warriors files called Celestial/Terrestrial Warriors Notes & Facts folder in order to explain every concept of the Four Noble Animal Tribes, their characteristics, their customs, as well as with their history, without sacrificing the emotion and intensity of the story-line as well. Working on not only world-building, but also working well with writing down the concepts, and the universal patterns that always co-exist, that would make the story-line, more interesting and appealing to the readers as well. Around that time, I was working on a screenplay or movie script, using the ever helpful screenwriting software called CELTX, and let me say, that it’s very, very helpful, in getting the job done. And I’d wanted to get practiced in, in order to get ready to go for my Masters of Arts Degree in Creative Writing, with the concentration of Screenwriting, in order to become a certified screenwriter, and make sure to write well for movies, as well as utilize this project, as my ultimate way of making sure that I would be able to create something that would stand the test of time, in itself.

To once again further elaborate, or expand on what I’m saying, so that I’m not called out as a liar again, I’ve had a very vivid and pictorial, graphic dream when I was still a teenager one night. And it was storming too as well, so talk about ominous right there. In that horrible nightmare I’ve had, it was more like an epiphany, you know those sudden realizations where it’s supposed to be a revelation of the future that’s yet ahead, it was reflected on how everything me, from entertainment to business, is decaying, is when I’d realized what I’d needed to do, in order to put everything back on the right track. To help save the global economy, and bring it back to the once proud glory that it used to be and have a long time ago. To reawaken the great and exhilarating, stimulating, and invigorating feeling of animation or storytelling in general. And I’d didn’t want to see it come to an end as well. Hopefully achieving this by the time it’s 2030 no doubt.

Once I’ve returned from San Antonio on an airplane by myself, after a long series of thinking, is where I’ve come up with this grandiose, impressive, and majestic plan from when I was 17, planning, calculating, and predicting every possible manner as an entrepreneur would, that was going to be called Project: Renaissance or Project: Resurgence. Where my plan would be most effective somewhere in 2016-2024 range, the future that I’ve pretty much predicted, which also by the Chinese Zodiac sign or astrology, it would be the Year of the Dragon, and I’ll be 36, which will be when I end the Celestial-Terrestrial Warriors series, with the Seventh and finale Volume called Return of the True Antagonist; Title of the Ken Slayer Champion; End of an Era, which during that time writing it, I’ll be able to generate a massive amount of excitement as well, to which is how long I’d plan to finish the series, by not only getting my Bachelors of Arts in Studio Art in Graphic Arts, which I’ve accomplished going to Midland University, so that gave me full license to become a Multimedia Artist and Animator, so that I can start creating visuals and animation for movies, television, video games, and also other forms of media as well. Another special reason why I’d decided to pursue my Bachelor’s Degree of Fine Arts in Studio Arts, which is also a commercial art field, was to not only create great commercial like content, but also create animated episodes of Celestial/Terrestrial Warriors or Heavenly/Earthly Fighters, and Saintly-Angelic Warriors, so that I can sell them individually for around $3.99 or $4.99 and sell the whole DVD/Blu-Ray for around $49.99 for the whole 22-25 episodes of high-quality, with extra deleted scenes, and wide-screen and to be in dual language like English/Japanese in such a way that it’s created. A complete, totally outstanding package of nothing but the most amazing quality, that’s more than worthy of having on your shelf to watch. Even if they put this on Amazon Videos Prime Membership, it would be on par with The Last Air-bender in terms, of just an all around amazing storytelling, and animation as well. All so that I can sell it on my future studio/e-commerce named Celestial Graphics where I get to have these amazing titles, and be my own boss, a Chief Executive Officer (CEO), which sounds about what I want to be, or Top Executive, is also a nice title as well.

But also, while getting my final degree, in Entertainment Business at Full Sail University online, to give me full license to become a Entertainment Attroney, and I would have an amazing track record of printed books, but as times have changed, I’ve decided to shift my direction towards the Amazon Kindle Platform and the Barnes and Nobles Nook Platform. And to have Intellectual Properties to use in order to weave amazing more screenplays & TV Pilots from them. Not only were those two platforms, a huge game changer, but they were also a huge life-saver, and now I can sleep well at night, knowing that I’m not seeing forests get cut down, just to make them. IMy main screenwriting software that I use in having to write about all of the pilot scripts and screenplays, is either CELTX, Final Draft 8 & 9, Amazon StoryWriter, & Scrivener, and even still, I’d make sure to write them in the best kind of quality, in terms of character’s development and analysis, the villain’s motivation, abilities, and their purpose in the plot.  

Also, was developing many type of graphic design work, to add to my portfolio of my best designs over all. And finally, create a diverse portfolio of other screenplays, and even animation pilot scripts, each of them well-crafted, well-written, and brilliant in its own form, so that I can be able to have many of them, animated and ready to go, using the Animation software like Toon Boom Animation, which then I’d started using Toon Boom Harmony Premium. Because a lot of what I’m going to do is kick-start these projects, to make them as awesome as ever, and have them stand the test of time.  And this is also great, because then it’ll give me more usage and privilege, to use as a Multimedia Artist and Animator and doing what I love doing best; like scanning pen-and-paper sketches into my phone, digital camera, or Amazon Fire Tablet, and drawing them using my digital tools, like my digital paper and pen. Or just drawing off digitally as well, and using Vector Graphics, to animate the drawings, and with it already being superior sketches, the animation would look crisp and clear, and the color palette would make the animation look fluent, shiny, glossy, and colorful as well. And yes, before I’d get called out as a liar who made this crap up and such, yes, I did plan this whole entire project when I was a teenager, working my first job back in 2005, but the difference was, there was too much that needed to be added to the plan, for it to work excellently well. All around the time, I was working on the other project, known as Ed’s Journey, which will tie in well between Volume#3 and Volume#4 of Celestial/Terrestrial Warriors, which were going to be between The Sacred Training Grounds and Planet Empyrean; Ed’s Journey Begins, which was giving Ed a chance to finally become the main character for that trilogy as well. And even still, I’d worked on other titles such as Olympian Angels Trilogy, Sanctuary’s Ash, Seraphic Amulet Trilogy, Divine/Mortal Warfare Trilogy, and my final magnum opus, Saintly-Angelic Warriors, all with the intention, to weave them together, into a massive universe of possibilities that I’ve laid for not only myself, but the new generation to inherit, when I’m gone. It was also around that time, I’ve read Syd Field’s Screenplay: The Art of Screenwriting, as this was the first time I’d attempted at writing a screenplay. At first, it wasn’t all that great, but then again, you always got to start somewhere, in order to be as great at your craft as ever. And for me, that was the case. I’ve spent days and days, studying my craft. Learning all there is to learn and mastering to all there is to master. Showing and displaying a better sense of knowledge and wisdom towards the craft. Thus, why when I went to Full Sail University to get my Master of Fine Arts in Media Design, I was already told that I’ve displayed a good sense of screenwriting...well...a lot for the visual descriptions, but a little less on the dialogue. This was also a great opportunity, to build up my resume, as well as use Linkedin professional profile to go and show my credentials, qualifications & proficiency in my craftsmanship as well. And then finally, build myself a top-notch website, as my alternate personal branding. To recap, while this grandiose plan is to span for the next six to eight years, my direct aim to make things for Project: Resurgence to work, is to be finished by 2030. Assuming the world will still be around and such, and I’ll live long enough to be in my 40’s as well. Coming back to this Author’s Thoughts right now, the global economy is going through a global recession right now, so that mean it’s probably gonna have to be deployed and soon. Hoping for the next few years, it’ll be super successful. And that’s assuming, that each episode is made with excellency, as well as the story pacing to introducing the characters as well. Which is so interesting, because as I was going through Youtube once again, after coming back to another session of my Author’s Thoughts.

Back in Spring ‘06, I was being working on an adaptation, both the novel and animated pilot script, of the Heavenly/Earthly Fighters series, as I was going to write it about the school problems and issues, growing up as a teenager, or an adolescent growing, but still some supernatural elements added to it. Just to give it more a great feel, that Coming-of-Age genre, with some supernatural elements, and have them develop their skill sets, abilities, and grow in having true self-confidence, self-reliance, as well as learning how to work together, as a team, and feel like despite that their different, they’ll always have each others backs, no matter what kind of circumstance it was going to be. Plus, the elements for both Evan and his partner’s heritage, was still going to be there, but it was going to be told in a different way, where the Sun-Rays already have a mixed relationship with the United Nations. And this was around when I’d wrote the plot outline, for the final volume of the Celestial-Terrestrial Warriors series, as well as getting ready to go college as well.

And finally, I’ve put to great use, having to go through this amazing website named Stage32, where it was like a place for screenwriters and novelist came together, to share ideas, loglines, and grow as a community. It was certainly amazing. I’ve made great use of this amazing site, and even made wonderful connections and ways to utilize it to the max.

However, as I brainstorm the two-major people in the series, I’d started brainstorming main supporting characters that also play a role in this as well. I brainstorm after lunch or in class during my junior year and decided that the subplot in the story would be the ones known as the Empyreal 7, which are said to be similar to that of the Exalted character from the MMRPG game, but it’s not the complete focus. It was hard to tell if I was going to make them the Solar Exalted (Chosen Unconquered Sun) or Terrestrial Exalted, since they were going to inherit their powers, from the previous ones. I did some research on what a warrior is and what they do on a site called Wikipedia. It was there at the website I found out that Warrior mean individual who is skilled in combat or warfare, whether would be tribal or clan wise. Which would make sense for the other warrior like tribes and clans, as well as the society, to make them out as warriors of course; They’re also like to be the ‘Avengers’ as well; molded after the famous late artist/writer Jack Kirby and one of the most famous writers I’ll ever know to this day and age...Stan Lee. Once I went into detail about the Empyreal 7, I’d realized that they shared a great deal of similarities with that of the original Avengers who were considered to be Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. I was so influenced by them, that I did my very, very best, to make sure that while I had some similarities with them, I didn’t completely rip them off, by giving them not the same superpowers...and even if I did, it was all from one source of power and that’s where the Sun God known as Ra comes into the picture. The entire premise of Celestial/Terrestrial Warriors, is that they’re supposed to be granted unusual, extraordinary, and amazing powers of their own species, while they are to be the Galaxy’s Mightiest Fighters who’re going to band together to defeat the dreaded Chromatic Sugaars who seek to free their queen, while battling against the terrorist organization known to the world as "Disciples of Grimoire" who later on change their name to something deadlier, but that will be for another day and time of course. Each of the Empyreal 7 was molded off of the original roster of the real Avengers and again, I try my hardest to make sure that they weren’t a complete copy of their original ones.

After a while, I’d written out a plot outline, all of the main characters, the main supporting characters, the minor characters, and then the villains, and the supporting villains as well. The story starts off with Chapter#0; where there’s a massively huge war going on the prosperous Utopian planet known as Sun-Sky, where I was going to use the Sun-rays eventually throughout the text, just like I planned to use them from the beginning of the whole text. The Sun-Rays are the Hierarchy of Angels aspect of the story-line, as their meant to be different in ranks of angel-like beings and the originator of them all. Their also considered the Heavenly and Celestial part of the story as well. There’s a lot of fighting, chaos, and hellish events going on. The Sun-ray military are doing the best they can to fight against the enemy and defend their entire land, but their getting assaulted by the arch-villain that’s come back from the dead through mysterious means that haven’t been explained just yet. We get a fresh scene where the Emperors and Empresses are looking upon the chart of the worse of the Top Tier people that existed on Empyrean, which is now on their planet now...the highest of high ranking people of the most fearsome, lethal, and deadliest kind of people, from their own tribe. They then start to talk about their champions of the time, the ones known as the Empyreal Five, which again serve as a subplot to the main plot of the actual story in itself. We then cut to two sun-ray siblings called the Hazels and they are trying to find the lost generation since the stones that they were given and the assignment that they were given as well was the only thing that they could do. It’s also a good possibility and chance, that I could add the C.I.A. and Men in Blacks, where they could work with the extra-terrestrial species, but instead of them being generic, but with customs and traditions of their own.

Then we start with Chapter#1, where we debut the main male character of the series named Evan W. Ken-Ra. From there, Evan’s past of what he remembers and made him the way that he is today. The quintessential, ideal, and prototypical and origins how Evan was created, is shrouded in mystery, but that’s also what I love about this character very strongly. He’s the character conception/combination of Yusuke Urameshi from Yu Yu Hakusho, Baki Hanma from Grappler Baki, and even Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach. Even a good deal of Superman and Super-boy also helped create this character as well from the DC Comics, and Static Shock, from the same comic publishers known as DC (DC and Vertigo Comics for the win!), had a hand in the creation of this awesome character as well. I say so, because he’s got this universal ideal character, where he starts off as being this kind, soft, and gentle fighter, who wants to protect, but to this pessimistic person, who still holds on to his goal, but also now has been perverted into thinking what justice is, with the sight of revenge as well. As well, as with his background of being a hybrid as well, the same way both Yusuke, Ichigo, and Baki are hybrids in their own term as well. In more ways than one, he represents me in every facet and aspect as well. From the time I’ve gotten my first sketchbook journal, when I was five years old, to the time where I was in my early adult years, which was the last time I’d used a physical sketchbook, the character designs of him, as well as his body-type, has went through numerous changes, as a character. I’d even found another really ancient old sketchbook back in grade school, where it showed Grebrebrium, as the earliest character design of Evan himself. So as you can see, there’s a great deal of mystery and high value to the character Evan himself. I also decided, as I would believe this would be beneficial, to also add a few other characters to the fray to make up the Empyreal 7 as I hope this concept would work in the near future. Though again, they are based off the character conception of the original Avengers, but they are in no shape or fashion, the same name, same powers and even the same past as they do...just to make sure that I don’t personally stain the great image that is both Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, who deserves a lot more credit, as well. They were also to be like paladins, who are like Holy Knights, in their own personal way. Which are also to be warriors as well, but of different class and types just like picking out your class in a role playing game, to which are my favorite games to play. Which happens to be the Warrior aspect of the series, as I’d mentioned earlier in the rant. From spiritual to mana users, as long as they played some role into the story-line, that’s was my own concern. Through a series of more brainstorming and borrowing concepts from other series in the past, but mostly from the original Avengers themselves, I decided to add Minerva Darlene, the Enchantress who character conception derives from...well...Zatanna, due to her eventually learning different elemental mana spells that’ll come handy to her in the near future, and a big chunk of Scarlet Witch, which in due time, she learns much stronger magical abilities, to even. And even during other times, Minerva will begin to develop stronger forms of magical energies as her imagination, knowledge, wisdom, and experience will grow over time. And most recently, because I love going back to my Author’s Thoughts some more, she’s also based off of Mai Kawakami, from Musaigan no Phantom World, because she’s mature, kind, & is popular with how well she’s loved and admired from other girls around her; giving her the nickname ‘Enchantress Big Sis’. She’s also very healthy, curvaceous, busty, and she’s considered to be not only gorgeous and attractive, but also has strong fitness, and can fight quite well. The classical ideal that Minerva, she lives in Milwaukee and has had a tragic past of losing her boyfriend in the past due to the events that have happened that caused her so much pain, but as time passes on, she start to gain the ability and physiology of Transcendent Mage and start to have mastery over the mystical arts as well. As well as have a connection with one of the villains in the series. Owen Falco, the Spiritual Shaman, who lost his mother when he was little and has a huge and massive attack the archenemy that causes him extreme and horrifying pain to add, since Owen is more like the archetypical and/or ideal model of Yoh Askura from Shaman King, with a little Ichigo and Yusuke character combination in him. A lot of background about Owen is that he’s a Spirit Hunter, so he has to have a great deal of knowledge in spirits, the poltergeist, & phantoms. For this reason alone, he not only integrates certain symbiosis, but also utilizes them for combat back and forth.  He’s the brains of the team, but he’s also still very composed, even-tempered, mature, and has a strong honor code, to back him up as well, along with having tactics and strategies, that help him on the fly as well. And then there’s Diana A. Elve, III, the Archer of the group who comes from royalty and she also have a mysterious past of losing her mother in the process. And before this erupts to more useless crap of lies and garbage crap, no I didn’t base her off of the actual real Diana of Wales, nor did I steal from Princess Diana from Justice League as well...though the influence is very strong with since again, these were shows that I grew up on so that doesn’t bite the dust there. She derives from the Roman Goddess herself and her powers are more around the fusion of Ra’s with a hint of Artemis, the Goddess of Hunt as well. If we look at her from that perspective, her character conception derived from the one known as Hawk-eye both Riza Hawkeye and Avenger’s Hawk-eye but we’ll save that for another time and day, with a tad bit of character combination of Nami and Nico Robin from One Piece; Diana’s model and archetypical prototype of character is the sassy, perky, snobbish, selfish at times, and sometimes elitist attitude girl, who can also be immodest at times, but she too also has an honor code of her own. They would be the start ups of the Empyreal 7 but I didn’t want to make them weak and incompetent of fighting neither, but on the same exact token, I’d would make them interesting by giving any defining character, personalities that’re unique, and flaws and limitations as well. I’d also decided to bring in the mysterious girl that would be also beneficial to the group in the future, Evan’s past love who will also be one of the Empyreal 7 as her characterization will be a perky, flamboyant, sensual young teenager with a dark and troubled past, and her character conception would derive from multiple and various girl characters from different Japanese comic book series. This mysterious girl’s character conception derives from strong female such as Sonsaku Hakufu from Battle Vixens, Miu Furinji from History’s Strongest Fighter Kenichi, and even Starfire from Teen Titans as well, since she’s very flamboyant, naïve at times, but also strong as well, and be riddled with lots of mystery behind her. The characterization of this mysterious girl is to whom she would have a lot of physical features, she’s full-fledged, bosomy, busty, curvaceous, has blond hair, and even is very athletic as well, and attributes to her character. She’s going to play a huge part in all of this, as her clan has a lot to do with the Ken Slayers in more ways that she didn’t know was possible, as equally as she does with the Hugertars. Then I was going to add in Apollo since he’s going to be their leader and his title is called the Commander. The characterization of Apollo will come in the near future but for now, his name derives from the Roman God of War, Mars, and he’s meant to have a lot of physical, spiritual, and mental characteristics that makes him out as the real leader of the entire Empyreal 7, since he shares a lot of the blood of the Ken Slayers, Elves, as well as the Sugoi as well. I was just going to have him in the back-burner and introduce his character later. At least, long enough when he needs to be reintroduced and he becomes a very important character as well. As the series continues on, Apollo will be explained why he’ll become such a big deal and why he’s needed most in the group. As the series progresses on, we’ll get to finally see him in action and for the first time, know how well of a leader can Apollo truly be for his team. And the last main character, for them to join their team, is a character very special to me. He’s a character concept combination of Zuko from The Last Airbender, Hiei and Feitan from both Yu Yu Hakusho & HunterxHunter, and Jellal Fernandez, Mystogan, and Rogue from Fairy Tail; not only that, but this character represents me, in a many facets of ways, from being honorable, noble, proud, magnanimous, right-minded,  is principled in his values, distinguished, dignified, and respectable to his opponents, but also having a huge chip on his shoulder to add as well....so a good deal of Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto, is also applied to him as well, since he’s also a character that is granted numerous abilities, due to his elemental affinity, as well as his style of fighting. He won’t be introduced until the second volume, of the series. He’s even righteous, creditable, dependable, and does what he can to become a very trust-worthy, and respectable team player, and has an extremely strong honor code, in the ways of the Bushido, as he absolutely detests fighting in cold blood or sadistic sense. Draco, like any other Sugoi swordsmen, loves the thrill and joy of a worthy opponent, as when he finds one or many that qualify as one, he makes a super, maniacal grin, gearing up for the fight against that worthy opponent. Just like Evan himself, Draco is also a character, that I’ve worked on ever since I was a teenager, from the time where I drew him without a face, to where I’d got around, to finding a defining facial expression for him.  But his type of fighting style, is the duo swordsmanship or dual kenjutsu, which is the trademark of what he’s good at, since he hails from a mighty clan, that something happened to them a long time ago. As times passes on by, throughout the series, he evolves his duo kenjutsu to triple kenjutsu style, the santoryu, the same way Roronoa Zoro from One Piece, does himself. That and his elements is fire and ice, just like a number of his character concepts, are consisted of as well, but he later gains other abilities along the way. Draco even starts to learn to use the very devil spirit that lives inside of him, as well as use his clan’s most sacred techniques, such as Blazes Inferno and Crystallized Ice, in order to grow as a late bloomer. And as time passes on by, he starts to learn how to use Esoteric abilities, one of them being Celestial Manipulation, the same ability, that his mother had. In order to start fighting at a much more mystical level of fighting. Thus making him even more of a bad ass character, and he has the best attire of the group. And his name means Twin Dragon, which helps justify, on why the name was given to him as well.  Even a lot of Raven from Teen Titans, is also a huge aspect in the creation of his character, as he not only relies on meditation to get through his days, but also help balance out the inner turmoil that he feels, even though he comes off as being stoic, aloof, and detached numerous times, but also with it becomes self-control, patient, and remains a cool demeanor as well. It’s because of these alone, is why I absolutely love, love, love Draco’s character, next to Hellde and Cicatrix, because their like me in every aspect of the way. I would even go as far as to say, that they would be the Dream Team in the best rap battle ever, using characters, of the highest caliber.

Now as for the villains, some of them will be mercenaries that each have their own personal reason why they have joined the group and will go through great lengths to carry out what their higher ups have them tasked to do. Others will be actual monsters that’re there in the organization for a much more dangerous ambition and one that’ll bring fear and chaos to who crosses their paths as well. The characterization of them will come later as there is much to be said about them and why their doing with what their task to do. Just as long as the villains in the story have a common goal of making an organization along with their own personal reasons do so, that’s all that really matters to me really. After looking through the articles that’s the Seven Princes of Heaven and "Hell, I’d decided that the final villains will be called the Chromatic Princes of Hell" and that the final arc will be the Chromatic Hell arc, where things are going to get severely intense from there. After a series of brainstorming, I sent this to the ‘Writer’s Circle’, where they thought I need to expand on it and make it much better in terms of a story-line in itself. It was there that I decided to expand from it and make it much better there. I decided to add a few subplots of extra content, to the series just to give an opportunity for character development for some of the other minor supporting characters as well. Depending on who would need it more than the other, each and every one of them played a different role into the series, as well as I do with some of my other series. Finally, I decided to add as much logic to the story-line as possible, which that turned out to be the most challenging next to storytelling, as one of the hardest logics to add to the story-line, was the magic concept as well as with the treasures that’re meant to be part of the story-line as well. Along with the powers that come along with it as well...After reading up on fiction and magic, I’d decided that there would be a lot magic in the story-line of the series and that it was going to be explained time and time again. All to make sure that I don’t end up losing people and that it doesn’t become anywhere near as bad working on Black Angels in the past.  The logic in the story-line is going to involve lots of concept about treasures, magic, and the technology that’s part of the story-line as well...Assuming that not a whole lot of people care as of right now.

It was around ‘06, when I was also finishing up not only the plot outline, but also the rough draft of Saintly-Angelic Warriors and I’d took a hiatus from Celestial-Terrestrial Warriors, just so I can gain a foothold into the series and finish with what I started with. Saintly-Angelic Warriors the series was yet another series that I’d gambled on and took a risk in working on, because I had to do what I can to make it as interesting as I possibly could. It would start off with also a Prologue, with also a Chapter#0 as well, where the main character named Aiden is going out to take a risk in drawing out his own solar power to defeat a certain arch-foe that has it out for him, while trying accomplishing his other goal of marrying the girl of his dreams. He goes through trial and error before he’s finally able to not only draw forth the solar like energy inside of his own pendant but also use it to cloak himself in order to become a strong powerhouse and start to save people. All while trying to become the champion that he has said that he wanted to become by defeating many opponents on his own and never had to lose another match for as long as he can remember.

I knew that someday in the future, in case either Celestial-Terrestrial Warriors did really well or horribly bad, Saintly-Angelic Warriors would be there to take its place and continue where the previous series left off. Knowing that either one of them will become successful and lead me to my dream of becoming a great writer as well.

...Well, without further ado, I present the novel idea that I managed to score an ‘A+’ on; hoping that it would bring the readers enjoyment of reading this, as much as it has brought me joy to write this. This is the beginning of the story, about a tale of two men, who are aiming at trying to rule the prosperous, mega wealthy world, known as Empyrean. For everything that it’s worth, hopefully you enjoy. Which then led to the story-line of two boys from warring tribe, to settle their family’s old score.

Sincerely,

Beckett Baldwin

P.S.-This was really, really difficult to write as I’ve always have problems with ADHD, and it takes a lot to keep my attention completely perked to full interest. I’m surprised to have the attention span to write one. Maybe I need to take more time to go to the Writer’s Circle and take advantage of other editors looking at this and making their statements about this.

I also would like to thank the creators of the game D&D for giving me the inspiration to use the Chromatic Sugaars and give them names in order to turn them into villains.

Also, I would love to take this time to personally thank Jack Kirby and Stan Lee for coming up with these wonderful characters and for having a huge influence on me to create my own set of characters that’re similar to them, and not complete rip offs off them as I personally don’t like stealing from other great editors and writers in itself.

P.S.S.- Another thing I want to bring to such attention, is that how I critique my work. I don’t critique my work, because I think it sucks, like Black-Angels does, I don’t critique out of self-pity. I critique my work that strongly, because I want to see it do very well, I want to see it become a classic in its own class and stand the test of time. So, because of it, is why I have numerous revisions, and some rewrites. To give my work numerous revisions, based off of constructive criticism, and create timeless characters, villains, themes, settings, world-building, every single thing that goes with making an excellent work. I even created an adaptation of my work, which is based on another approach that I had, to see where the series can go, without it being too complicated, and having too much in one setting. I actually take more pride, as a Book Reviewer, than I do an author or writer, because I review just about any book that I read, with honest feedback, as well as constructive criticism to add ad well. Also, I’ve read Robert McKee’s Story book, unto which I’ve learned the principles of storytelling, whether it’s a novel or a screenplay, and how it’s about form, not formula, archetypes not stereotypes, and about writing a great story, not second guessing the market. One of these days, I would like to meet him, and have a talk with him as well. The same goes for Syd Field and his book Screenplay: The Art of Screenwriting, unto which I still read about to this modern day and age. A true Author, no matter what medium, is an artist with godlike knowledge of his subject, and commands absolute authority on that subject. And thus also achieving Authentic to go along with it as well.

P.S.S.-Over time, I’d went through the basement to find some inspiration. And boy did I found a huge chunk of it. I’ve found not one, but two sketchbooks. One was when I was five years old and another one, four years later. And here’s the crazy part about this.
