BHSG Dissertation

## Greetings, everyone

The Bounty Hunter Space Guild was conceptualized by the idea of creating an entire Sci-Fi universe through art, utility, lore, and future media expansions through the power of NFT’s.

Growing up as a huge fan of Sci-Fi led me to explore universes incredibly vast and expansive, fictional worlds like Star Wars, Mass Effect, etc. allowed me to wander in entirely different planets and realities; needless to say, these universes changed my life. I even became part of a *Lucasfilm* recognized group called *Fightsaber*.

The problem was that I never really knew what to do with the knowledge of the exact details of every curve on a Phase II 212th battalion airborne clone trooper helmet, or knowing the fictional years of which fictional wars happened when.

This was until my partners and I discussed the possibility of creating something similar, something inspired by what we all loved, but in the Metaverse. That was the birth of “Bounty Hunter Space Guild”. With the talents of my partners, and the knowledge of a life’s worth of delving deep into these fictional universes, I wanted to impart the sparks of joy that these fictional universes have imparted on me.

Every single person on the team is passionate about building this world.

Jaga has been a friend for years who has spent his whole life learning design & art, and is currently taking a creative Masters in an esteemed College in London.

Alex grew up immersing herself in popular culture, which led to a great career in social media marketing, copywriting, and advertising. She always finds a way to add flavor to things.

Sage is a genius in coding, and is the guy who laid all of the tech wizard foundations for all of this to happen. Without him, we wouldn’t even know how to provide this universe to all of you.

We may not live long enough to take part in galactic travel, but we were born in the prime age of technology and the arts.

So let’s build this universe together and escape into Solaris.

## Utilities

### Bounty Hunter DAO

   After minting out, we will establish a DAO for every Bounty Hunter holder. This will be integral to our utility of sweeping the floors of different projects every month. We want the community to have a voice and to have the ability to vote. This DAO will also serve as an avenue for different kinds of expansion, if the community has great ideas that are possible to implement, it will be possible.

### The Tower x BHSG Room

The Tower custom room will be filled immediately after launch with a portion of our mint sales. How much will be dictated by the Fair Launch Protocol decided price:

1 Sol = 200,000$

2 Sol = 600,000$

3 Sol = 1,000,000$

This will all be in the hands of the DAO. Early holders get to participate in our NFT spending spree. However, the best part is that this will be sustainable. Through our monthly project floor sweeps using our royalties, this vault will constantly be filled up with NFT’s. The Tower room will also provide complete transparency for everyone in the community; everyone will be able to see the NFT’s the DAO owns. Every holder can be proud to showcase their vault of NFT’s worth hundreds of thousands or even millions on their social media bios, because every holder owns a share. The NFT’s in the vault can be distributed to holders, donated, burned, whatever the DAO decides.

### Universe Building Airdrops

We are currently working on the future possibilities of expansion in terms of building the Solaris universe. Spaceships, Planets, Weapons, etc. are all being discussed within the team. We also want to incorporate this into the real world somehow through merchandise. The Bounty Hunters will be everyone’s ticket to the universe we are building. It will be an ecosystem in which every piece connects to each other to build an expansive world = The Solaris Ecosystem.

### Integration into the Metaverse

Our pieces are completely modeled and 3 dimensional, which ensures ready integration into the metaverse. This brings me to the art aspect of these Bounty Hunters.

### Art

The great thing about the art of Bounty Hunter Space Guild is the attention to detail that goes into crafting each piece. We first noticed that there were not a lot of 3D projects that were completely three dimensional in terms of all their attributes. A lot of the time, parts were just layered images on top of a hero 3D model; it works, but the problem with that is that clipping and shadow issues emerge. You can see in our art that every piece casts its own shadows, every piece carries its own weight, and the best part is that even though they are modular, they all look unique.

Our artist Jaga created a magnificent modularity system with our NFT’s. Visor shapes aren’t even a trait, but are dictated by all the elements that surround it, that is what creates the shape of the visor. Every Bounty Hunter will also have a unique silhouette due to the way that our parts work together, we wanted every single one to have iconicity, and we believe we’ve successfully established that through robust silhouettes. We want people to be able to see a blacked out shadow of their Bounty Hunter and be able to tell that it’s theirs.

To add to that, another way we found to make our Bounty Hunters feel more special is through our unique coloring system. Instead of having for example: “Respirator 1 (Red), and Respirator 1 (Blue)…” which is what most projects do, we decided to go through a color palette route. We have over 200 unique color palettes prepared for our Bounty Hunters. As far as I know, this is the first NFT project to implement this system, which incorporates primary, secondary, and accent colors on top of modular Bounty Hunters instead of having separate pieces that are colored differently.

The art of this project is Jaga and I’s outpouring of soul. We took our keen eyes on a rodeo with our favorite things like Sci-Fi, design, clothing, history, furniture, architecture, movies, fantasy, and much more in order to craft these pieces. Within the art you will find pieces inspired by a plethora of things such as Roman Gladiators, and Japanese Culture, all the way to Sci-Fi giants like Star Wars. In Bounty Hunter Space Guild, every curve has a purpose.
