Core Narrative 4

## **Core Narrative - Micro Story #4 : Homeland**

**LOGLINE**: A human-oricanus hybrid child is abandoned in the Black
Forest to die, until he is found and raised by the Oricanus. As the child grows
he makes an attempt to determine his roots, and uncovers a secret big enough
send all of the races of the Last Planet back to war.

**SUMMARY:**
**In a Galaxy where only one planet**
remains and seven alien races exist, warring amongst themselves for survival,
being born a hybrid is more than likely to get you killed. Ivrus Odan is a
Human-Oricanus hybrid that was abandoned in a savage region of the Oricanus
Forest at birth. As the child survived without being eaten until found, the
Oricanus took this as a good omen and adopted the child. He was sent to live
with the Dur' Ell, the 13th house of the Oricanus. Thought to be nothing more
than fodder until the Fang of Dur' Ell, Gemanon takes an interest in him. As
Ivrus grows he struggles with finding acceptance due to his mixed birth and
questions his place in the world. Finally attaining the rank of Strider, Ivrus
sets out to the realms of humanity to try and make sense of his existence.
Along the way he becomes embroiled in the intrigue between Death's Hand, and
the capital city of humanity, New Genesis. Saving the life of Olivia Langst, a
prominent member of the adventures guild, Ivrus gains access to their
connections in the Arcadium, the greatest library in New Genesis. As Death's
Hand moves against Ivrus he begins to find connections in research between them
and that of Humanity geared towards the destruction of their planets and the
relics scattered across the Last Planet. Questions that can only be answered by
the Oricanus due to their history being the only native race to the planet.
Bringing the Oricanus Humanity, and Vero together in an alliance, an expedition
is launched into the burning plains, where the Nex, long thought dead, are
discovered to be alive, and a hand moving in the shadows. But this information
comes at a steep price and in their attempt to escape, the Morian set off
detentions that release a cataclysm on the land, and send the races of the Last
Planet into turmoil.

**The Hero**:

Ivrus Odan, a human-Oricanus hybrid.
His name roughly translates to *lost one* in the language of the
Oricanus. Achieving the rank of Strider, he's earned the right to freely
travel outside of the Oricanus Forest.

**The Villain** — Death's Hand/ Morian

1. On the surface it would be the chaos organization known

 as Death’s Hand. As Ivrus tries to unite both sides of his heritage and
 foster better living conditions for both parties, this is goes directly
 against their code of destruction.

1. Behind the scenes the, Morian’ Teux’ Iunus’ Nex, are

 manipulating all *speakers*they have amongst the different
 races to prevent Ivrus from inadvertantly revealing the truth behind the
 Last Planet.
