MY STORIES:

1) WALL-E—Resurrection: A story that takes place 1,200 years after the events of the Wall-e movie. EVE has been hailed as the world leader and the Earth became pure again, with billions of organic and artificial citizens who enjoy the natural systems complimented by an array of man-made architecture. But there is some turmoil within societies. War and omnicide from an unlikely enemy will sweep the world, and EVE and Wall-e must journey through hell to save the Earth and mankind.

October 2011 update* I have returned to finish what I intended to. Resurrection will continue as a last project, and after that I might not be back, but only time and experience will lead to a final decision whether I should continue with other endeavors in the future or end as I have planned. Though very few people noticed my absence (Think below 10), I hope I can deliver one last heap of entertainment intertwined with provoking themes to engage your minds and imagination.

January 2012 Update* It is official. I WILL return to finish Resurrection. I've been quite busy these past months but now that I've settled I can get back to writing. I can't say when I will post the next chapter of the story, I do need some inspiration after all, but bear with me as I prioritize Resurrection into my lazy agenda. Thanks for waiting and I hope you'll enjoy whatever I might put out in the future.

My Original Characters (OCs):

Ryan: 84 year old absurdist and sociopath who works in the archeology division of Alaska. Formerly harbored romance for Eve and her ideals, but rejection unleashed a precursor in him that would grow and poison his soul, driving him from an altruist and follower of Eve's political ideologies to deep pessimism and eventual rejection of any inherent meaning in his existence and abstract ideas that seek to justify the existence of life, thus becoming more and more detached from human society and mentality and nurturing a growing idealization for the end of life and ultimately existence. His heavy drinking and lust for the flesh destroyed the last humanity in him. As insurgent groups and ideologies rose, Ryan gave his feigned approval to the separation of man and machine, merely wishing to cause more division and chaos between the two. Now he yearns for the downfall of his civilization, waiting for the opportune moment to allow the beast in him to rise.

Trent: EVE's best friend and General Paleontologist/Scientist. As others he was raised with the ideas of artificial and biological co-existence, man and machine united. Became quite interested in the study of past human relics and civilizations, down to their cultures and political beliefs. This enabled him to quickly rise through ranks to become a prominent and important figure in the rise of historiography and archaeology, leading to sub-divisions focused on xenoarchaeology.

Gerald: EVE's security escort and acquaintance. He is one of two individuals *the othe being Wall-e* who see Eve in her rarest moments of tranquility.

Jeremy: Colonel and Commanding Officer of the Revival Brigade Group. An individual-minded but protocol-guided officer who achieved notoriety by being the first human to volunteer for military duty since humanity's return to Earth. For much time machines had held the frontlines as the warriors and protectors of humans and fellow AI, paving way to growing distrust in the hearts of humans. Jeremy had been born in a time where political and ideological furor were rampant, many humans and machines slowly began to separate from one another, but he found himself in the middle. Knowing he could not abandon his fellow men, but at the same time conflicted by internal drives to devote himself to accepting machines as fellow brothers, Jeremy suggested creating a military branch in which humans could join to serve their fellow brothers and sisters. This idea was not new, and it had echoed throughout the crumbling society long before, but with Eve on his side he helped pave way for men and women to claim honor as the warriors of Earth and future colonies.

Jerry: Military scientist and best friend of Ryan notorious for his shady dealings with insurgent groups against Eve, merely dismissed by him as indiscriminatory to his work ethic. Once willing to envelop himself in Ryan's absurdist and nihilistic perspectives, he has now settled for the pursuit of political power with little to no ethic, something which greatly disappointed Ryan's expectations.
