Tales Of The Corruption

The premise of Tales Of The Corruption is that it takes place on a fictionalized version of Earth in a science-fantasy setting and centrally resolves around the storyline of an international Resistance movement, the Valiant: Resistance Ops, being formed to brave the dangers that lurk around Earth and destroy a corrupted threat before Humanity is wiped out.

## Background Setting

*Although many regions of the planet were left utterly scarred and barren by the war while Humanity was in shambles, life endured and a change in society led to new nations being developed across the globe and a new international government, the Alliance, being founded to restore peace and lead Humanity into a new Golden Era of exploration, innovation and advancement while building over the remains of old nations.*
*35 years ago, there was an arrival of a robot species known simply as "Autometics" who then became stranded on Earth along with Humanity. Despite tensions between the two species, due to a uprising a few years prior that resulted in robots constructed by Humanity being purged after they were used by Outcasts to attack the Alliance, the Autometics ultimately helped Humanity in achieving a history of peace much better than even before the Great War while also assisting them in colonizing more regions of Earth once again.*
*However, not everything was perfect as many Humans have turned themselves into independent Outcasts living outside of the Alliance jurisdiction, which has led to conflict between the two factions over the dwindling resources available outside of the dangerous untamed lands, while there are allegations of the Alliance leadership having become involved in sinister activities as terrorist actions are on the rise to cause chaos... all of this threatening to tear Earth apart through a new catastrophic crisis that looms over the world.*
*Worse still, a cursed evil has been rising across most of the deep wilds in recent years and the still untouched and war-torn lands have become twisted by a dark corruption that is slowly conquering the world and shedding living beings by turning them into tainted and chaotic monsters that serve to be a threat to all on Earth and are bent on overrunning the planet and making it impossible for the non-tainted to be safe.*
*In response to this corruption sweeping across Earth like wildfire, an underground resistance movement known as Valiant: Resistance Ops have been recruiting a wide rag-tag variety of soldiers, mercenaries, outlaws and oddities from around the globe to hold back the monster hordes and protect their home planet from this dangerous and corrupted menace while investigating their origin before Earth can be destroyed.*

## The Story

The narrative of Tales Of The Corruption is imagined to be developed through transmedia storytelling, rather than traditional and conventional methods, which are interconnected and taking place in the same continuity. It is planned that released media will include animated featurettes, mini-comic series, books, short stories, a animated streaming television series and a video game along with fictional news reports, character profiles, etc as part of the actual in-universe lore.

### Animated Featurettes

The animated featurettes are cinematic shorts or feature films, released on Youtube and Netflix at different lengths, that expand on the lore and are released sparingly while they can serve as part of a teaser to promote an upcoming release.

### Books

The books are mostly young adult novels which explore events of Tales Of The Corruption but this also includes other books, such as art books, that are unlisted here while they're published in hardback and paperback by Dark Horse Books.

### Short Stories

The short stories are shorter books that each either focus on the origin story of a specific protagonist in Tales Of The Corruption universe or expand on the activities of characters during any of the themed events when they are active.

### Animated Streaming Television Series

Strange Heroes is an animated streaming television series released exclusively on Netflix. The series will run for five seasons that take place during the time-frames before Catherine and her group of friends join the Resistance later on.

After mysteriously ending up on a remote island, a group of six teenagers find themselves at the beginning of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure when they are "chosen" to be more than regular as supernatural events start occurring in their own lives as well as in the lives of others that they meet throughout their journey. Ultimately, this will leave them forming a team of "superhero" friends as they become young adults over the series and come to rely on each other to combat threats from various sources and investigate the truth behind secret experiments, gruesome accidents and devastating plots.

## Trivia

* The logo of the Resistance, an outline of the planet Earth and some of its regions under the letter V for Valiant, also serves as the logo for the series while "Tales Of The Corruption" gets written alongside it in a "corrupted" format.
* The animation style in which Tales Of The Corruption is imagined to be in is considered to be a mixture between the "Legacy Launch Trailer" for Apex Legends, the animated shorts of Overwatch and Life Is Strange put together.
