Let’s make some introductions!!

Hey! I’m currently writing the first of hopefully a trilogy of books, and I want to share the progress and my drawings for them! You can call me Kay, and I use They/Them and She/Her pronouns, I don’t mind.

Anyways, this has been my brain baby for the last six years but I’ve never shared any of it nor thought to write it into a trilogy until I started reading Adalyn Grace’s Belladonna trilogy (Love it, really, highly recommend them). But I spent those last six years working on this world and building it up, so I’d like to share it with as many people as will listen! Let’s get to brief overview of my - hopefully to be - trilogy:

Stage one:

When Mars II and her sister stations - Phobos and Deimos - are hit with a sudden and massive solar wave, the delicate portal technology within is damaged. This invites hell’s incarnates into the world. As Death’s Invaders arrive, they wreak havoc upon the some forty-thousand inhabitants of the main station. Flynn O’Brien, the only security officer left on the station, is set to find the source of the Nightmares while also trying to keep as many people he can safe. Along the way, he finds an unfamiliar face among those he’d lived with for five years. Valentino seems to be the only hope of stopping this all, he’d seen it before four times, each more devastating than the last. Instead, he breaks something in the man’s mind and sets loose a brand new ascendant God upon the Marydian system. With the help of Brains - Vega Clarke - and Samuel James, he stops things as they are. But, it seems the battle has only just begun when he and Vega find Earth crawling with Nightmares tearing their way across every planet and space station Humanity has found themselves upon.

Stage two:

Upon reaching Earth again, Vega and Flynn get separated from Samuel - whether that is a bad thing or not, they are still undecided - only to find Earth engulfed in fire and destruction. Where humanities ingenuity had built great skyscrapers and cities sprawling across the planet now lay irradiated wastelands, with only a few safe zones in the northern and southern hemispheres. Faced with this, and the help of a few odd friends made on Mars II, they set a plan. First, to find Samuel for his extensive knowledge on the portal experiments. Due to the shut down walls of the Shadow world, the next step was one that took them backwards. Through the Sun God’s realm of Isonkast, then that of a Godless warrior race known as the Sentinel, and the Sea God’s mighty dimension of Eri Hymmn. Though, the last step in their way seemed to be that of Death’s, but a powerful new friend comes to their aid with his galactic train and passages of magic. There, Vega faces their destiny spoken my Omera the Time God before Flynn and Samuel can face Death face to face.

Stage three:

When all is said and done, Sam stands at the end of the apocalypse with less known about the world than he began with. Though an ascendant himself, he comes to the brutal truth of his birth through the plagues of Calamity. An age old prophecy from Omera’s first Timekeeper reemerges, and a new foe rears her head to finish reaping what Death had sown. Though not actively fighting for his life the way he had been just five years prior, it feels all the same when Calamity takes fate into her own hands and rewrites his, sealing any and all magic away behind a gate of mystery that takes its toll. It becomes uncontrollable, and thus unreliable. Right back at the beginning, he and Flynn take to the dance floor of Calamity’s façade without Brains. Caught in the whirlwind of her chess game, they find her web woven of dark secrets. That is, until a familiar face returns to turn that mahogany dance floor into an aged battlefield. Aten Mei returns to Calamity’s side in the supernova that destroyed Maquia.

Right, that’s the spoiler free premise of what I’ve got, some weird combination of all sorts of media that inspired it. Any questions, I’ll answer, and I’ll occasionally post my work as spoiler free as I can get it but some of my favourite parts are very spoilery. Anyway, it’s poly, it’s queer, and it’s fantastic in my opinion. I hope you like it, here’s my trifuckta—

Flynn O’Brien

This is Flynn, Soldier and train wreck of the Gods. He’s my first main character and the first point of view. A little grumpy and a tad bit violent when push comes to shove but his heart is n the right place when it needs to be. Chosen by a Deity that had never reared her head to humanity, he’s faced with a Time War not even the brightest minds of the 22nd century could foresee. When the Dakarvian Invaders come at the will of the Death God, he faces the fact that not everything is what it was made out to be. The immortal soul fighting for control, Faydley, all the while he’s facing living Nightmares for the sake of his own survivors guilt after the explosion of Mars II.

Vega Clarke

This is Vega, the brightest mind of their graduating cohort. Loud, optimistic, and strong headed, with the biggest heart who’s key lays in Flynn’s hands. Vega the largest of seven departments on the space station, Mars II. They use their eidetic memory for good use when the Gods involve the mortals in their War, managing intel and griefing systems they designed to make life hell for Samiel during the second stage. All that to say, they play a major role as the second POV, paving the way for Flynn and Samiel to take on the God of Death himself.

Samiel James

Finally, this is Samiel - formerly Samuel. A cynical, quiet anti-hero, betrayed by the Gods from his birth. The brains that wouldn’t survive without his curse offered up by the Titan God, Maquia. Born mortal, but divine deep down somewhere. He is my third POV, the aftermath of the Time War is his to bare. After spending years fighting it, destiny wraps him up in the Gods mess one and for all so he can find his own way with a little help from Flynn and the rest of their little army. In spite of all that he is, he stands face to face with Death and his proxy with a power entirely unknown to him.

That’s it. That’s my Trifuckta. Thank you for coming to my TED talk :]
