I'm a very active thinker. I used to be some guy who only cared about what he was looking at and what he wanted rather than actually thinking about stuff, but I've been changing a lot to become the person I am today. And as some know (which is a mere few from what I know) I can get a LOT of ideas when I put my mind to it. And a few of those ideas are...pretty huge.
Since I do, I've decided to make a Journal listing the major ideas I've come up with, all in chronological order. Here we go...
No, not Ultimate as in "the best series ever", Ultimate is just a name for the series. Contrary to most of my ideas, it's a written story rather than a drawn picture. The history for it is pretty large too, not enormously large, but enough to make it the oldest of my projects.
It started out in 2017 I believe. Ever since I discovered DA in 2014 and joined it in 2015, I've been a lurker on the site, checking out pics that caught my eye. I was a brat back then, usually making myself into a victim by saying I'd never be able to draw or make my own stuff, and I even tried asking others to make my ideas for me. It was a dark time, merely the beginning at that. But in 2017 I had come up with my very first OC, Nubilus, who has become one of the main antagonists of my series, more on that later. Back then he was just some edgy dude made of darkness whose story was that he was born from my thoughts of wanting a "true ultimate power" that I was making in my head, and after wishing upon a shooting star to obtain that wish, he and a race of dark beings called the Ultimites appeared around the universes and began to cause havoc. The original pic of Nubilus is pretty old and bad-looking, so I deleted it a long while ago. Sometime afterwards in the same year, I began making my own series of stories which would be known as "Ultimate", purely out of edge. The whole series was based around self-centered edginess, as I was a pretty arrogant and selfish person at the time. Not something I like to remember...especially considering that the main protagonist of the story was literally me. DX
The series ended up being cancelled for multiple reasons, one such reason being that I just wasn't up for making all those stories. Laziness basically. Because of how I acted I ended up dropping the characters I made for it altogether, but I then had a new idea for it around 2018: The Ultimites, now reborn as the Judicites, would have an opposing race called the Liberites, who are beings made of light. The plot was that the Judicites were at war with the Liberites, who deemed the former unworthy to exist, and attempted to erase them from existence (which I didn't fully understand at the time). However, this idea was also dropped due to the series still being a little self-centered, which I couldn't handle. I was also a very confused person, and was usually conflicted between a lot of stuff. Because of this the races and series were scrapped again, and I wasn't sure if I'd ever use them for anything besides RPs. Luckily, that changed this year.
I used to do story requests for friends back in 2019, but I ultimately dropped them due to being unable to cope with the amount of stories I had and the work I'd need to put into them, as well as a course I used to go to taking up a lot of my time. Or at least, that's what I said, but it was really because I wanted to finish the stories in one day and refused to accept a part of one being done in a day. But then I realised why I was feeling so...restless about my ideas earlier this year: I was never letting them see the light of day. I never gave thought as to how people would envision them back when I was wrong and confused, but a few changes I've been going through have helped me see that. So, after a while of thinking, I decided to give the Ultimate series another shot, even if it was longer than expected (mostly due to me being forgetful XD). On top of that, I've also given making stories in general another shot, which of course means that story requests are open again. I'll explain more about that later. As for the Ultimate series, its plot and backstory are a bit...crazy? Let's just say the Judicites and Liberites are now two of many primal races that existed before anything else did, and in the present day they wish to erase the universes for shared reasons. The two races are neutral, but are peaceful towards each other unlike almost every other dark and light race there is, and are the same towards the other races of their time...Well, most of them at least, haven't thought them all through yet. The main protagonist also got a massive change; he's still me, but he's more like a depiction of what I'd like to be if I could. So far I've made three chapters including the prologue, and I'd appreciate if you could check them out.
And that's more or less the whole story on this series. It's basically the core of my ideas, since it tales my universe of sorts. Although, I also consider this to be within reach of other's universes too, but not forcefully. I've always liked stretching out beyond borders wherever possible, such as coming up with new levels of power, different kind of beings, an origin for a universe, etc. A major twist-lover, basically (if the twist is logical of course). So yeah, I like but don't enforce the connected universe idea on others.
Anyways...
One of the most ambitious projects of mine, up there with the Ultimate series. Equinox is the name I gave to the idea of a game I came up with long ago, a game I've recently had much thought about. I first came up with the idea in 2018: It started out as an idea for a creatures game set in a dream world, where the creatures would be strange mixes of things you wouldn't expect. A gigantic sentient flying ship, for instance. Not one of the ideas I had for the creatures, but it's an example. I found myself getting more and more interested in this idea, until I announced its beginning in October 2018. But while I had a lot of ideas for the series, I was unaware of how things such as its battle system would work and the mechanics of the stats, as I was more driven by hyperactive readiness than steady and sure readiness. I ended up shelving the series as a result, but I have kept it in my mind ever since.
I tried going back to it in 2019, having come up with more ideas such as the setting for the game, the characters that would appear and some of the more important creatures. However, it was shelved again due to not having enough time on my hands and not knowing how to even make a game in the first place. That thought in particular is what made me shelve the game, as I wondered where the hell I could learn how to make my own game. It's been on my mind for a while, but I've been looking for solutions to it. I've heard of a college that teaches game designing is making another establishment that's closer to my house, and if it's close enough I'll attempt to go there in the future. If that doesn't work, a friend of mine told me there are online classes (or something like that) that can teach me about it.
Anyways, the particulars for this game are...quite different from usual creatures games. For one thing, the creatures themselves would have way more stages than usual, even more than Digimon! Secondly, they and their owners would fight together in an open environment rather than the usual RPG style the likes of old Final Fantasy games, Pokemon and Mario & Luigi use. There was also an idea where there would be groups established in the world the dream creatures live in, which I call Nirvana. I'd explain more, but that would make this Journal too long. If you want to hear the details, best you note me about it or something.
In short, this project is one I've had a lot of love for over the few years I've had it in mind. Another reason for that is because I plan to put it in the same "universe" as the Ultimate series! It would be cool for me to have a story and game be connected with each other, albeit not by plot.
Not the actual name for this project, but it's what I'll call it by for now. For those who don't know (and I doubt there's many who do), Telefang is a Pokemon-style series developed during the start of the 21st century, 2000 to be exact. I was actually born just before then in 1999, but I never heard of this series before or after its release. In fact, the only reason I know of it is due to a close friend who introduced me to the series in 2019. At first I didn't think much of it but after another look at it, the series caught my eye.
The history of the series is a short and not-so sweet one. It was made by Natsume and published by Smilesoft, and was sorta like a mix of Pokemon and Digimon; it was set between two worlds, the human and Denjuu World, which was home to creatures of the same name. Denjuu had a mix of Poke-cute and Digi-cool, and their world even had digital-related things like giant antenna towers from which they were birthed from, phones that they dwelled in and could be called from, and possibly other things. It played similarly to Pokemon, having a battle system and battleground where one Denjuu faced diagonally towards the other, with yours being commanded by a human partner (called a T-Fanger) and the creatures took turns using attacks. However, contrary to Pokemon you didn't just call Denjuu out of the special phones (which were called D-Fangs). You actually CALLED them via the phones and asked if they could assist you, and they would take a certain amount of time to come to you. It was...very odd, but kinda funny to me. Denjuu were also befriended rather than captured, as some would offer their phone number if you beat them...I am not kidding. The stats and moves were mostly the same as Pokemon as well, except two of the stats were focused on the Denjuu's special moves, called Denma Attacks. It was a unique series, I have to say.
However, despite the love it got back then (which I heard was a lot), it didn't get very far. Only two games were ever made, with the second being made in 2001, and from then on the series began to fade into obscurity. It's always sad when that kind of thing happens (unless the game/series in question was bad of course). Earlier in 2020 I had the idea of reviving Telefang in my own way, though it was a little rushed and not entirely thought out, thus I shelved the project. I've been wondering whether or not to return to it, and I'm still thinking on that now...
Ohohohoooooo boy. The story for this project is pretty large as well, but not as convoluted as the Ultimate series. But like it, I'll need to start from the beginning.
I first discovered Pokemon in 2007, when I played Pokemon Pearl on an R4 (a DS game chip with multiple games on it). I remembered loving the game to death, it was the first ever creatures game I had played. The feeling of getting creatures to fight for you was...exhilarating to me, though I was also into the graphics. XD I was a major graphics freak back then...ANYWAYS! The next game I played was Pokemon Platinum in 2008, which stands as my most favourite of the Pokemon games. It had one of the most serious storylines (one of the ONLY serious ones at that), an interesting region, the best Legendaries AND stuff like the Battle Frontier, Contest Hall and even having your own villa! Oh, and the cheats, I abused the HELL out of those, but I don't care much for those now. Bottom line is, I have a lot of memories of that game.
Next up in the main games was HeartGold and SoulSilver, also in 2008, Ruby and Emerald (and I think Sapphire?) on the GBA in 2009, alongside FireRed (I had LeafGreen but I don't think I played it), Pokemon White in 2010, Pokemon Black and White 2 (in that order) in 2011 (which I was ultra hyped for, looking at the fusions of Kyurem), Pokemon X and Y in 2013, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in 2014, Moon and Sun in 2016, Ultra Moon and Ultra Sun in 2017 and finally Sword and Shield in 2019. I remember enjoying most of the games, but these were during the times I was a confused, egotistic and selfish fool who didn't listen to social media a lot, let alone go on it. However, as the years went on I felt more and more like Pokemon was...missing something, but I could never figure out what it was. It grew more apparent during Gen 7, the games of which I liked to replay over and over (mostly cause of the friendship and overleveling things). It wasn't until late 2019 when I finally started to see the problems with the series, thanks to a close friend of mine, and ever since then I've become despising of it. I won't go into details since there's a LOT to explain (and I mean a LOT), but I will say that the series as it is will get no more love from me, and from what I've heard and seen, a lot of other people feel the same way.
Long before this revelation, I had joined a few friends and others in making Fakemon, something which I've followed for a long time (ever since 2015/16). My Fakemon were a little different, as I intended on making stronger and more rough-looking Fakemon than most others. The pics of these Fakemon are gone now since they followed the norm of the series, but I intend on remaking them sometime down the line. But I couldn't simply sit by and watch the series become more crap as it gains more defending "fans", so earlier this year I came up with the Pokemon Rebirth Project, which is a massive attempt by me to remake the entire Pokemon series (or at least the main series). This would include an origin for the creatures, redesigns of every one, re-explanations of Types and attacks, etc. If you want to see more, check this Journal out.
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9543151/
So far the project hasn't gotten very far. I've been mostly working alone, redesigning the Gen 1 Pokemon, and only a few remain. I previously skipped due to either overratedness, convoluted inspirations or laziness, but I realised that people would bitch if I left even one creature out, so I decided to remake them all. I've been hoping to find more supporters for the project, but so far it's only gotten about four, which isn't very much. I hope to change this down the line, so if anyone would like to assist in the project, please leave a comment here or in the Journal. I would be SUPER appreciative of it.
In short, the story of the project is me liking Pokemon, growing tired of it, finding out what was wrong with it, hating it and then starting a revolt of sorts against it. I mean, with how many people defend the series nowadays it may as well be a revolt, right?
Spectrobes Rebirth
Like Telefang, Spectrobes is a creatures series that is known by few and loved by fewer (I think). It too was a loved series until it faded into obscurity, except this is one I know very well. The story behind how I discovered it is pretty funny actually.
I think it was sometime during 2010 or something? Maybe later, I'm not sure, but one day my mother showed me a new game she got for me called Spectrobes, which was for the DS. Being the choosy brat I was, I initially argued with her about getting a random game I knew nothing about, but she insisted that I give it a try and see if I like it. And one day I decided to do just that, and I started to LOVE it. The combat was so great, the creatures looked so cool, the story was really interesting and dark (not edgy levels of dark thankfully) and the characters were memorable, especially the likes of the lone survivor Aldous and the money-hungry Cyrus (even if he wasn't shown that much). The series features a dark alien race called the Krawl, who are able to destroy entire star systems not with fleets of advanced ships and weapons, but armies of malformed creatures with no thought or emotion besides consumption. The combat varied in each of the games, which I found somewhat interesting; the first game had Rallen, one of the two main protagonists, fighting with two Spectrobes against some Krawl inside their signature dark tornadoes, which they used to travel around in the DS games. The second game, Beyond the Portals, had only two Spectrobes fighting some Krawl, the max number of which was reduced from 3 to 2. The third and final game, Origins, had Rallen fighting alongside one Spectrobe in an open battlefield, where he could use weapons modeled after the final forms of the Spectrobes (called Evolved) against the Krawl. I have and played each game, completing Spectrobes and Origins, but Beyond the Portals (which I got in 2019) is a bit tough for me. I haven't played it for a while and I'm unsure if I'll even go back to it, since I've been losing my love for the 3DS (though that could be due to mostly playing Pokemon on it for years.)
The forms of the Spectrobes were Child, Adult and Evolved. Children couldn't fight and were instead used as scouts for Spectrobes fossils and minerals, the latter of which they could devour to raise their EXP and sometimes stats. Adults were the fighters, and were pretty strong despite being incomplete. The Evolveds though, hohoho man, those things live up to their entries! They're downright BRUTAL, especially in Origins! There were also Dark Spectrobes in Beyond the Portals, which were basically Spectrobes who were drenched in some kind of darkness that were immune to normal Spectrobes. There's more I could tell about the games, but I'll stop there.
Earlier this month, I came up with the idea to give the Spectrobes series another shot, since not only is it what got me so into more climatic creatures games, it frankly didn't deserve to be forgotten like it did. However, due to the Pokemon Rebirth Project and Ultimate series I've been a little hesitant in doing so. I DO plan on working on such a thing, but it may have to wait until I make up some time away from the other two projects. Equinox too.
Summarization
So, as you can tell I can intend have a lot of ideas on my mind. The only problem is I haven't the time nor the assistance in starting some of them. Here's the status on all of them.
Ultimate series - In progress
Equinox - Shelved
Telefang Reborn - Shelved (possibly for good, since I don't have a connection to the series)
Pokemon Rebirth Project - In progress
Spectrobes Rebirth - In stock (not shelved, but also not in progress)
I can handle the Ultimate series, though I will need a LOT of help on the PRP. As I said above, if anyone would like to offer their help in it or any other project regardless of their status, I would be most thankful. As of now my focus is on the Ultimate series and the PRP however. For the latter, I require the following-
- Drawers (for Pokemon redesigns and new/remade characters)
- Mappers (for the continents the Rebirth-verse would have in place of the regions)
- Thinkers (people who can help us come up with new ideas)
And...that's all. Hope you all liked what you read.
Since I do, I've decided to make a Journal listing the major ideas I've come up with, all in chronological order. Here we go...

In short, the story of the project is me liking Pokemon, growing tired of it, finding out what was wrong with it, hating it and then starting a revolt of sorts against it. I mean, with how many people defend the series nowadays it may as well be a revolt, right?
Spectrobes Rebirth
Like Telefang, Spectrobes is a creatures series that is known by few and loved by fewer (I think). It too was a loved series until it faded into obscurity, except this is one I know very well. The story behind how I discovered it is pretty funny actually.
I think it was sometime during 2010 or something? Maybe later, I'm not sure, but one day my mother showed me a new game she got for me called Spectrobes, which was for the DS. Being the choosy brat I was, I initially argued with her about getting a random game I knew nothing about, but she insisted that I give it a try and see if I like it. And one day I decided to do just that, and I started to LOVE it. The combat was so great, the creatures looked so cool, the story was really interesting and dark (not edgy levels of dark thankfully) and the characters were memorable, especially the likes of the lone survivor Aldous and the money-hungry Cyrus (even if he wasn't shown that much). The series features a dark alien race called the Krawl, who are able to destroy entire star systems not with fleets of advanced ships and weapons, but armies of malformed creatures with no thought or emotion besides consumption. The combat varied in each of the games, which I found somewhat interesting; the first game had Rallen, one of the two main protagonists, fighting with two Spectrobes against some Krawl inside their signature dark tornadoes, which they used to travel around in the DS games. The second game, Beyond the Portals, had only two Spectrobes fighting some Krawl, the max number of which was reduced from 3 to 2. The third and final game, Origins, had Rallen fighting alongside one Spectrobe in an open battlefield, where he could use weapons modeled after the final forms of the Spectrobes (called Evolved) against the Krawl. I have and played each game, completing Spectrobes and Origins, but Beyond the Portals (which I got in 2019) is a bit tough for me. I haven't played it for a while and I'm unsure if I'll even go back to it, since I've been losing my love for the 3DS (though that could be due to mostly playing Pokemon on it for years.)
The forms of the Spectrobes were Child, Adult and Evolved. Children couldn't fight and were instead used as scouts for Spectrobes fossils and minerals, the latter of which they could devour to raise their EXP and sometimes stats. Adults were the fighters, and were pretty strong despite being incomplete. The Evolveds though, hohoho man, those things live up to their entries! They're downright BRUTAL, especially in Origins! There were also Dark Spectrobes in Beyond the Portals, which were basically Spectrobes who were drenched in some kind of darkness that were immune to normal Spectrobes. There's more I could tell about the games, but I'll stop there.
Earlier this month, I came up with the idea to give the Spectrobes series another shot, since not only is it what got me so into more climatic creatures games, it frankly didn't deserve to be forgotten like it did. However, due to the Pokemon Rebirth Project and Ultimate series I've been a little hesitant in doing so. I DO plan on working on such a thing, but it may have to wait until I make up some time away from the other two projects. Equinox too.
Summarization
So, as you can tell I can intend have a lot of ideas on my mind. The only problem is I haven't the time nor the assistance in starting some of them. Here's the status on all of them.
Ultimate series - In progress
Equinox - Shelved
Telefang Reborn - Shelved (possibly for good, since I don't have a connection to the series)
Pokemon Rebirth Project - In progress
Spectrobes Rebirth - In stock (not shelved, but also not in progress)
I can handle the Ultimate series, though I will need a LOT of help on the PRP. As I said above, if anyone would like to offer their help in it or any other project regardless of their status, I would be most thankful. As of now my focus is on the Ultimate series and the PRP however. For the latter, I require the following-
- Drawers (for Pokemon redesigns and new/remade characters)
- Mappers (for the continents the Rebirth-verse would have in place of the regions)
- Thinkers (people who can help us come up with new ideas)
And...that's all. Hope you all liked what you read.
