The Base

Today I made a sketch of a design of the main base - including dormitories, a lab, a cafeteria, a garage and a dish system to communicate with Earth, all topped with solar panels. I can't use my scanner at the moment, but I'll have this (and other sketches) up over the weekend when I can.

Also, here are some characters:

Terry - main character, 19/male. Majoring in geology. Introverted and dedicated to his work.
Beryl - 19/female. Majoring in... also geology? Maybe biology. Also a good student but antagonizes her father early in the story, setting the plot in motion.
Beryl's father - 47/male. Chronology* professor. Built the time beacon, and heads the research facility.
Beryl's brother - 23/male. Also studies chronology. A rather minor character, really.
Luna - 20/female. Beryl's roommate. Majoring in physics, or earth science. Complete opposite of Terry, extroverted but not studious.
Leo - 19/male. Terry's roommate. Majoring in biology. Fun-loving and open-minded, though maybe too much of the former.

*A chronologist as defined in our world is someone who puts historical events in order - usually either human history or the history of our earth. However, in the world in which this graphic novel takes place, Chronology is an imaginary science that deals with manipulating the passage of time.

I don't have any last names in mind yet. I currently have graphical designs for Terry and Luna.

  1. Kelvin, you lack of journal posts, your mentor feedback and lack of preparedness for today's class have all clearly indicated your need for RED FLAG STATUS---see you Thursday. Ms. Lord
