ABOUT NEON LEGENDS - A BRIEF OVERVIEW
Neon Legends, formally only known as Project NL, is the single biggest project I have ever made and has been in development for a very long time, in fact this year (2007) celebrates it's 10th Anniversary. It all started way back in 1997 with the creation of a single character, whom was named 'Brocko' (though in 1997 he was actually called 'Whiplash' and later became known as Brocko) and he quickly became my personal character. Originally he started out very differently to what he now is (including name and species), originally he started out life as being more of a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog world, however over the years he continually evolved and has long since abandoned any Sonic like resemblance, in fact he has gone from being an anthropomorphic animal like character to a human character.
Over the years since his original creation many things about Brocko himself may have changed but a lot of other things haven't. For example, the world that he lives in is still the same one that it was originally (Please note that this is NOT the Sonic world) his friends still have the same names and attributes and the basics of the world, including the plot, are still all the same. The only difference between now and then is that the story has been expanded, new characters have been introduced and on top of that the story is now darker, deeper and better than it was before. This has allowed me to make the world feel more real and allow people to connect with the world and what the characters are going through more easily.
The plot however, hasn't changed much, all the events (Well most anyway) of Neon Legends take place on a small planet called 'Neon' that is the third planet in it's solar system, which is located 500,000 light years away from our planet if you're interested. This is the planet upon which Brocko and his friends live, and where the story will begin. The world on which they live is roughly four times bigger than earth is, but for a lot of the story they are based on a small set of three islands (or continents in relative sizes), however there is a reason for this which is explained within the story.
The whole story revolves around a group of very powerful items that through time have been forgotten about, however when the balance of good and evil is disturbed by a black clothed man these lost relics once again become the centre of attention. However as the story goes on it starts to draw away from this source of power and starts to lean on something else, before coming back to them again. Really they are the major plot point of the series, however things do happen in the story without them being around.
For this story I have tried to make it from the point of view of it being something that I would like to read and would enjoy, and while I have told very few people about Neon Legends, the few that I have told about it seem to all think it's a good idea and that I should go ahead and make it. So with this story I am doing it in a completely different style to that of the Ice Wars, and I hope that this will show. I like to think of the Ice Wars as a test ground from which I learnt how to make a story. I am trying to make this world a lot more realistic (with allowances of course) and a lot darker to get across more of a real-world type feel, which I personally believe that the Ice Wars was definitely lacking. To this end I have really tried hard to make each character, Hero or Villain, have a unique personality and way of seeing the world, in the hopes that some people might be able to find a likeness with a character or a problem and be able to connect with it.
My biggest hope is that my story will be a success and that people will like it and be able to connect to it in the way that I want them to be able to. But for now I guess only time will tell won't it, so let's wait and see what happens.
