Shadows in the Limelight

:+1:This is pretty good so far! I like that you are branching out the children-plots and adding mystery, suspense, and some ā€œviolence.ā€ I like this!

:grinning_face: Also, this is my suggestion: once youā€™re done, continue on with this because it could very well have a sequel, prequel, or be a series by itself!

Nexus concept ā€œartā€ #2:

yeah this one sucks

Inspiration

This area of the Nexus is mostly inspired by Elysium, with this area of the Nexus having more color than the other area (literally grayscale).

About
  • As mentioned in the other Nexus art post, the Nexus leads to three places: Emberland[1], Dreamsphere[2], and Ascension[3]. This area, called the Gateway, is where the portal to Dreamsphere is.
  • The Gateway is actually part of Dreamsphere, being the completely natural part of it. If you spawn in here specifically after you die, then the gods must really like you.

  1. equivalent of helI ā†©ļøŽ

  2. equivalent of Elysium ā†©ļøŽ

  3. living life again/kinda like the Fields of Asphodel minus the whole standing-around-in-a-field-for-the-rest-of-time thing ā†©ļøŽ

The Overlordā€™s Dimension concept ā€œartā€

About
  • The Overlord was banished by the gods because he helped another character (no big spoilers). He was banished here and horribly mutated so he couldnā€™t help that character ever again.
  • The Overlordā€™s dimension is a flat, gray slab of a material similar to concrete but much stronger. There is an infinite piece of paper, and a small hole carved in the middle of the air. Below the dimension is a parallel dimension, but haphazardly put together.

  • The Overlord would send messages to wizards. If they agreed, he would teach them.

academy acceptance letter for alexander
(i donā€™t think the phone number used in the doc is real but genuinely donā€™t call it)

35

also all the chapters in their fullest will be posted here when theyā€™re done and pasted from the master doc:

the padlet will be updated sometimes and will have a lot more chapters (because of the character limit)

36

iā€™m really bored and chapter three is going nowhere so which character(s) should i make a story about:

  • kira
  • albert
  • james
  • aurora
  • nova (not introduced yet but is gonna be one of the main characters)
  • the wardens

also just note: only backstories/their perspective on what happens in shadows in the limelight. no sequels because a lot of the characters die
