Upcoming Series ~Arcadian Pleasures~
12 years ago
Hello watchers. This journal is all about an upcoming series that I've been writing for you guys, entitled Arcadian Pleasures. It'll be both a story, with a long plot and developments, and also collections of short stories and one-shots, all in the same setting and world. While I only have one main story planned out, the world that I've built is detailed and alive, and can and will evolve with each story that is written in it. I've yet to finish the first part, but I'll tell you guys all about the world, so that you can get a feel for it.
The setting of Arcadian Pleasures is in a futuristic world. Humanity's fighting over morals and ethics, petty squabbles and race turned devastating when they put their incredible technology to use in war. The world was devastated, and the human race was shattered and divided. With the remnants of their technology, humanity sought to create safe-havens from the mutating world around them. The setting is a century after this, after the world has finally settled. And humanity has been much changed.
Three factions emerged from the ruins of humanity: Vector, who clung to their human roots and turned their technology to keeping the world back, slowly becoming a war-like society that rejects the new world. Their cities are encased in huge domes, and animals and plants from before the war flourish inside of them. They are the most neutral of the factions, but they are also the most warlike, violently rejecting the new world and seeking to turn the world back to what it was, no matter whether they have to destroy what is already in place. Their territory spans the plains between the other two factions, spreading east and west.
The second faction is Paradan. They rejected their human roots, instead turning to technology as their savior. Paradan's machinery spans their cities, and spreads even to their people. Their cities resemble nothing so much as a giant machine, filled constantly with moving pieces, working like clockwork. The people of Paradan take their ideal of machine over man to the extreme--the citizens of Paradan are more machine than human, cyborgs are common, with the richest and most influential having only the minimal amount of human parts.Because of their enhanced organs, mechanical parts, and the ability to simply move a consciousness from one mostly robotic shell to another means that the citizens live incredibly long lives, and rarely are they allowed to reproduce. Paradan also has a thriving slave-trade. They see Vectorites and Arcadians as lesser, and enslave them. Slavery runs their factories and cities, and often families have slaves.
The third, and probably your guys' favorites is Arcadia. The Arcadians, unlike their Vectorite and Paradan cousins, embraced the new world. They turned their technology into making themselves as close to nature as possible. They see features in nature that they desire, and they turn their technology to giving themselves those traits. The Arcadians began to change themselves to look more like the new flora and fauna that sprung up after the war. Eventually the transformations were encouraged for vanity as well as enhancement. Their humanity long gone, the Arcadians span from humanoid, with animal or plant features, to more animal than human, to completely animal. Whether a 'neolyte', a human with only minimal tranformations, or an Ancient, indistinguishable from a wild animal for the fact that they have human eyes, and can speak, the Arcadians are the most volatile faction. Their cities are all inside of the vast forests and jungles, spanning an immense amount of land. They cultivate many farms, and their technology, other than in large cities, are more primitive than the other factions, their ideals leading them to embracing the land around them instead of developing technology to keep it out.
As you can tell, the Arcadian faction is going to be the focus of Arcadian Pleasures. The main storyline is going to take the face of a rather unusual Arcadian, but the oneshots or the short stories are going to be from the perspective of many different characters, some from Vector and Paradan too! There will be a lot of smut, since this is essentially my playground, and I'd be more than happy to write some fantasy sex situations or kinky stuff for y'all. All ya gotta do is ask.
