Core Narrative 5

## **Core Narrative - Micro Story #5 : Bastion**

**LOGLINE**: The Last Planet, Humanities new home and that of the
remaining life in the Milky Way. But If they're going to survive here, they'll
have to fight the planet itself.

**SUMMARY:**
Just as everyone was beginning to recover from the War of Regions, the inhabitants
of the Last Planet are faced with yet another challenge, and this one seems to
be from the planet itself, in the form of groups of predators working in
concert to destroy villages and regional storms appearing outside of their
normal locations. Orian Strife's, Storm Born, are dispatched to subjugate one
of these party of predators and discover this isn't something natural, but
rather something of design. The situation reeks of Codex and Relikan
technology. Reporting back to the guild, Orian learns that these events aren't
only happening on the outskirts of humanities regions, but on all inhabited
regions of the Lost Planet. At the request of the Triumvirate, Orian and his
team push into the Shard as several high profile females have gone missing. It is
discovered the women were being traded by a group of Codex and Relikan, called
the Ganag, in order to set a pact of non-interference with the Izzen, as well
as gaining access to some of their barrier disruptor technology. Before they
can stop them, the Ganag escape via tunnel from the Shard. Orian doesn't come
away complelty empty handed though. They learn that the goal of the Ganag is
attempting to disrupt the relics that hold Skypiea, the sky-sea in place, and
bring it crashing down. With all the regions battling the Hordes, mind
controlled groups of the planet's super predators, it's up to Orian and the
Storm Born, to stop Omnic one of the leaders of the Ganag from releasing the
cataclysm.

* The Black Forest - A savage region of the Oricanus

 Forest

**Medium** — A video game (MMO/RPG)

Why does it make sense for this
medium? How does the story take advantage of the medium?

Using a video game to tell this
story puts the audience directly onto the Last Planet and allows them to see
and walk amongst its people. As a member of the, Storm Born, they will get to
experience the different cultures and interact directly with the different
races of the Last Planet. Getting to directly battle some of the worlds
terrors, while carving their own path as an adventurer.

**Platform** — This will be will be a multi-platform release for, Xbox,
Playstation, and PC, with cross-play included. This is the prefect platform to
release on as now two subjects link together better than the life of an
adventure, and video games. This platform takes advantage of the ability of
video games to create sprawling worlds filled with quest giving NPC's, and
battles that hard to depict via writing or too expansive to produce. It is the
best way to allow the audience to feel like they themselves are living on the
Last Planet.

**Additive Comprehension** —

This story explores the origins of
the Ganag, and what exactly happens to the Relikans once they are pushed
underground after the Genesis War. It details the fall of Omnic a leader of the
Codex, and why they are always traveling between their ghost cities. As well as
explores the structure of adventurer guilds on the Last Planet.
