New Writing Characters!
I'm currently working on something else because my brain is obsessed with characters. (god save me <3)
In the setting of a cyberpunk city an era away from now, society has rapidly developed and continues to evolve as superheroes pave the way. The main character is a woman named Roku Antoiny, inspired by Roku and the rococo art period, specifically female artists and key figures such as Marie Antoinette. Roku is a dark ingenue and failed actress whose previous manager suggested becoming a vigilante and then using the fame from that, after a big dramatic reveal, to up her career.
Seeing that she has nothing left to do, Roku goes for it, becoming te heroine Rococo and working her social skills, love for disguise, ambition, and assortment of talents to bag future sugar daddy Harvey Caberval, who is inspired by the Baroque art movement and artists such as Caravaggio, a baby born on the coldest day on Earth and saved out of his mother's womb when she died of hypothermia. Harvey is a part-time streamer and businessmaker who is working to be the richest man in Vizja against rivals.
During Harvey and Roku's "Romance" period, the wacky, wider cast of characters is shown, including:
Hulu Rauslain, an african-american man inspired by a combo of Hulu and Dadaism artwork looking to settle down with his on-off again girlfriend, Ynesé, despite their combined commitment issues and the fact that Ynesé, inspired by surrealism, specifically The Lovers by Rene Magritte, permanently wears a face covering.
Youtu Shanowen, inspired by native american cyberpunk, a Choctaw woman and terraformist advocator and businesswoman looking to protect and create vegetation after the rapid industrialization, cybernetic shit of the Earth and other planets.
Flic and Net Parliaton, twins, F being a boy and N being a girl. Flic is inspired by recycling art movements such as El Anatsui, and is an activists who works with Youtu. Net is a classical musician, inspired by Afrofuturism, who shares a rivalry and enemy relationship with Roku since Roku was jealous of her.
Yuu Shunyoji, a frenemy of Roku since Roku is insane and insists on maintaining one-sided rivalries, and is also an actress. They/Them. They were inspired by Nihonga artwork.
Some Enemies Include:
Parmoretto Longneck, a rival of Harvey for richest man in the city and inspired by the Mannerist movement a la Madonna with a Long Neck.
Anghelward Helio, an aesthetic supervillain who wishes to return the world back to a previous state of technology, the 2020 era of technology, as he believes that the social, cultural, religiousness of the "now" is horrid. He was inspired by that victorian time period where artists were drawing the idealized middle age because they believed it was a golden time in british history.
Ono Girl, an abstract movement inspired that wishes to use Harvey's house as a part of her next performance art against the westernization of immigrants and commercialization of the now.
Ante Raphloral, inspired by Pre-Raphaelic Brotherhood which wishes to take down what he considers the "reality distorters" of truth: Actors.
These are not the only characters or only art movements. There's the Rayonist adoptive parents of Harvey and more characters coming along. These inspirations are also combined with different cyberpunk and cyberpunk related aesthetics like Steampunk for victorian characters and solarpunk for naturalist characters and such
Feel free to reccommend some art movements! <3
