Other-earth, Concept art
Other Earth is my attempt at creating a believeable future version of earth, which could be used for the setting for games or movies, my Idea is that I can create my own universe and set small stories whithin the dynamics of that universe instead of using "the world''s fate relies on you" or "you rule the world" mentality present in so many games
I am looking for concept artists who are interested in the idea of Other-Earth and are willing to work with me to further flesh out the story and create small charecter rich stories which occur whithin Other-Earth
Other Earth
Welcome to Earth, not the familiar blue green cradle. This, is an Earth ravaged by a plague, a plague of famine, of wars, disease and death. Humanity as a whole seems doomed, people are dying by the thousands, over population is a glimmering memory, and a foolish dream. The rich get richer and the poor get dead. And nature, good old mother nature, has begun to reclaim what she once lost.
This is a tale of the end, and of the beginning, a tale of birth and a tale of death, This is the beginning of the end.
Mankind, once thriving and successful has not passed the test of time, a mysterious plague, the plague prevents any birth from occurring, there has not been a single natural birth on Earth the last century genetic decomposition has infected the people, years of medicine and science had made the people weak and frail and humanity seems doomed to rot in it''s old age. Out of the fire rise
the pillars, those factions who seek to survive the plague, by any means possible and necessary.
The factions:
The Edenites:
Seeking to restore man kind to it''s roots, they have, through meticulous genetic and micro engineering managed to restore, partially, people''s ability to breed, however this does come with a cost, a hideous figure, and infinite physical variety leads the Edenites to appear in any one of thousands of mutated fleshy forms. Seeing themselves as superior to the dying masses, they relocate all of their "converts" to The Gardens (description of gardens: guarded place no one gets into or out of alive other than the Edenites, elaborate later.) With each additional convert, the Edenites get closer and closer to their goal of a pure and natural world, where mankind is it''s own machine.
they engineer themselves to provide for any purpose once required by science.
The Unity:
Also known as the Flesh Vault to the uninitiated, it''s philosophy is "if you can''t breed it, store it for safe keeping" The vault itself is an underground complex, the size of a small country holding millions of people, stored in neural link pods,(think "The matrix") the ccupant''s mind is accelerated beyond human capacity, and is used to create both the "unity" or hive mind that is behind the vault, while meaintaining the original occupant''s conciousness. There is another side to the vault, one that is a bit more individual. while all occupant''s bodies are kept in the pods, they are able to exit the vault, specially designed CCUs or "consciousness container units" can be attached to any number of machine bodies for various purposes, although mostly used for maintenance of the vault itself, the unity residents do use the CCUs to explore the dieing earth, and unity itself is constantly starved for more "droplets of thought" to add to it''s ocean.
There is a third faction, their origins are unknown, although their numbers have not changed in millennia, these are the immortals. sustained by a
network of interconnected nanobots, they cannot die, and their bodies cannot change, any change is perceived as a flaw by the sustaining nanobots and it is immediately repaired, many immortals have tried suicide in frustration, and many have died only to be revived. they are uninterested in humanity around them, oblivious to the problem apathetic to solution, only a select few of
them look at immortality as anything more than a hideous curse, they have also taken upon themselves the burden of recording history, so that someone will at least remember it''s events correctly, however most do not share their knowledge with the mortals, and very few if any immortals have stayed within society not choosing to sleep for centuries or make another attempt at death. The Edenites cannot change them, and the Unity cannot assimilate them,
they are a side issue ignored by all.
Other earth is a view of the planet earth 2000 years in the future, where the human race in it''s final years has reached the point of it''s own demise, and it''s own ascension.
