The Storm World Building
I have been working on the storm since 2021 mostly playing around with the world and creature concepts. Not until 2023 I started to plan character designs and creature designs.The original idea of "The Storm" Focuses on a polyamorous trio who have to adapt and survive their now apocalyptic world infested with "demonic" creatures.
Official Character references
These are subject to change as I continue working on this project.
I am currently working on redesigning and updating all the characters shown below for if I ever make a full game revolving the trio.

The Storm Prologue
This is a character / world building exercise that I made to add more depth to the characters. As well as allow my self to get a better grasp of my characters. Below is a link to my rough draft of an idea I had for the prologue. (it was also a creative writing assignment for school)

Insects
I am constantly devolping these creatures and some designs have stayed the same while others have changed drastically.
Below is a link to my original "shunxin's journal". I made a series of journal entries for my character shunxin. Most of the public entries are of my more established creatures such as my beheaders and false angels.
