Hello there! I am Dr. Worm, and I have an idea (some scripts, mostly full characterization, and basic plot overview for the whole thing) for a high-profile Drama/Sci-fi Flash series. If there's any good animators out there who are interested in perhaps animating for this series based on what they've read in the following basic idea/ some character info paragraph, then post something on this thread :) (P.S. If you like it and plan on stealing the idea.....well that would be impossible since you don't have the whole plot =)....go me! :P)
Drama/Sci-Fi(Sorta) Series entitled "Ghost Town". While unfortuntately I cannot divulge much plot information or character details (as the plot is twisty and important and some in-depth character stuff is important to afforementioned twists) but basically its got a large cast of main characters and it's about people in purgatory (this isn't some sort of huge "Lost" mystery, WE know they're in purgatory, THEY know they're in purgatory). Purgatory, Heaven, and Hell in this series are all in real, far-away-from-our-Earth places (in purgatory, everything is dusty and green :-O), which is made possible and run by futuristic technology and complex politics. The main characters all died at close times and places and are now trying to learn the secrets of the place they now "live": Purgatory "ghost town" 13-T: Tartarus, the way that they can get out of purgatory and get into Heaven, and finally: clash with and learn the origins of the "Lost Souls", strange, glowing, and violent former live people who are outcasts from the formal Purgatory system and more closely resemble "ghosts" in the traditional way we think of them. Along the way, there's conflicts, vies for power, death (die in Purgatory and the powers that be designate you to go up, down, or back to Earth in another body to try again), epic revelations of their fates, constant meddling with their fates, (and later) actual outcomes of their fates, and maybe even a little romance.....yeah....it's dramatic, it's maybe even a little weird, sure. The backstories of characters are told in "Lost" fashion: each episode devoted to flashbacks of a certain character (I know that it takes away from originality, but I've tried other ways, and nothing else really works or makes sense). Um.....a list of some of the main characters and very slight descriptions of them.....
Kevin Scetz-the "main character" of sorts, Kevin seems to always be depressed about something. Also, early on he claims to work in "business" yet carries a concealed weapon and is a near-perfect shot.
Link-a woman who has completely forgotten everything about her life except for the word "link". She hopes that something (or someone) in Tartarus can help her regain her memory.
Praedonus Deorum-one of the few main characters who died before the new tenants of Tartarus, Praedonus lived in ancient times and is being punished by being forced to stay in Purgatory for a crime against the higher power. He is the conductor of the train that takes newly dead souls to Tartarus and he is the second-in-command of the "ghost town". He knows much more than he is allowed to tell...
General Orpheus Domes-another character who died before the other main characters, but died much more recently than Praedonus, Orpheus is the official General Leader of Tartarus. He is supposed to watch over the tenants and make sure their actions lead them to their fates, but he seems to have his own agenda that he will achieve by any means necessary.
Nathan Johnson-a desperate, panicked man who is worried about his 7 year-old daughter, Haley, who may or may not be in Tartarus. For her entire life, she was unable to meet her father and was kept in a strange experimental environment. Nathan hopes to tell her the truth about her life.
Smith Jones- a former soldier who's sole mission in Tartarus is to find his younger brother, William, who was lost during a Lost Soul attack on the train ride to Tartarus. Smith is a very moralistic and trustworthy person after a tragic event in his past woke him up from his more sinful ways. Other tenants are often look to him for help and guidance.
Jean Psychia- a former housewife who has a secret she closely guards from everyone else. This is hard for her, though, since everyone in Tartarus tells her she looks familiar from somewhere.....
Thorne- the unofficial leader of a horde of Lost Souls that live in the mountains outside Tartarus. She is scheming, maniacal, and will stop at nothing to achieve her own radical goals. She is always accompanied by her bodyguard, the katana-wielding Lost Soul warrior Mick.
Charon- more important later on in the story of "Ghost Town", Charon is the ruler and overseer of all of Purgatory. He is an old man who is filled with the experience of thousands of years, and has very narrow views on how peoples' fates should play out. He lives in a huge fortess in Purgatory's capitol, the city of Styx, and is surrounded by a well-trained and high-tech army and his personal officials, the Reapers.
This is just a quick sampling, there are many deeper characters and plots as it goes on. I would love to hear some feedback from interested animators or just anyone with some thoughts on the idea.
Also, I have 2 other ideas (that are comedies), so if this isn't your thing but you're still interested, post something here. Thank you, and namaste :P.
