Scope
The motivation behind building Stellar Journey
To, at some point, make a story, I like sci-fi, I like adventure-type stories. The story itself is an action-adventure-type story set in a sci-fi rendition of the world roughly 850 years into the future.
The goal of the project
A comprehensive catalogue of the story's world.
Stellar Journey's Unique Selling point
I dunno, it's like a mix of Revelation Space, Star Trek/Star Wars and a shonen anime, what a twist, I know. It's also very hard-scifi, in other worlds, founded entirely within known laws of physics. Well, with a few exceptions, like FTL travel, or nearly everything the precursors do.
Theme
Genre
Hard Sci-fi with a few exceptions, like FTL. Also action-adventure. While the story is stretches believability a bit, and may seem a little fantastical, the world in the background is as hard-scifi as i can, mostly.
Reader Experience
The world feels big.
Big and expansive. But also alive, and believable.
Reader Tone
Tone is somewhere in the middle between grimdark superdepressing miseryfest and happy-go-lucky fairy tale, dark things happen to the main cast, but the world is pretty good to live in altogether. Regular people live generally good lives, and opportunities lie aplenty.
Recurring Themes
No clue.
Character Agency
Characters drive the plot, and while they have little effect on the world itself, only a few events outside their control affect the characters.
Focus
Main focus - Places where to go. The world itself, the various different locales, and a showcase of where humanity might eventually find itself. Somewhat of a celebration of human ingenuity and scientific progress.
Tech - as somewhat of a futurist, i like sci-fi tech, like lasers and railguns, everything from spaceships to nanomachines.
Battles - cool fights i guess. One-on-one duels, mainly.
Drama
The relationship between the main quad, (i.e the main character and his friends.) How the strain of constant fights and having to survive, sometimes not succeeding, affects their relationships. Also how the main character develops and changes through the journey.
War - between the main force of the setting(
STUN) and its opponent, a nearly equal force(
The Coalition)
(Force as in nation and player on the world stage, not some supernatural power).
The relations of the "The original quad", that being the group that was before the protagonists. How their history ties into the story, why they do what they do.
