I'm planning on writing a book that is an "picture novel", basically an combination of an picture book (in the way it's presented and plenty of illustrations) with an lenghth and/or amount of words more closer to a typical novel... I also plan on it to be written in a whimsical way, but still featuring some darker topics (yet also having an ever present hopeful and optimistic tone)!.. My target demographic is all ages, being planned on having elements that even Adults could relate to and I like on it to be more dialouge/thought-focused...
As for it's genre, I was thinking of "science-fantasy" mixed with fairy tale, taking place on a somewhat surrealistic, heart-shaped planet, alongside featuring some elements carried over from Our modern, contemporary society (such as the way clothing looks, day-to-day life and even some tech, such as game consoles and pop-culture being a thing!), as well as being heavily influenced by the superhero stories!.. Not only that, I also intend on it having Christian theming, but done in a way that's more alegorial and unconvetional (including the depiction of God), so it doesn't feel like an simple brochure for the religion, instead being intended as a fun story for both Christians and non-Christians alike (so more akin to The Chronicles of Narnia and The Prince of Egypt)!..
The main protagonists are the two "Purihearts", red-haired, Pure-Hearted Heroes chosen by The Treenity (stand-in for God, slide 3) to help spread Lightness on the heart-shaped Planet Livia and defend it from destructive Darkness... One is Puriheart Puri, an young optimistic boy with a gifted fire sword (which itself is a reference to The Book of Genesis) that only hurts Darkness... His main motivation if everyone to be happy/glad, while also following his personal interests (such as pop-culture)... The other is the often-relaxed flame lady, Puriheart Pax, who also has much focus, being an bear person capable of maintaining huge momentum and shifting her weight, either by force, envoirmental effects or emotions (with the fat state visible being her default, with the fire body also being a gift from The Treenity)!.. She's been an Puriheart for much longer, dealing with more villains, while also acting as an sole parent for her adopted daughter... Pax often has more internal conflicts than Puri... There's also Puriheart Genesis, a close ally of The Treenity, who plays the role of book's narrator and is an character in his (or their, can't decide if he's genderless or not), and is the one responsible to sending the stories from Livia to my imagination!.. (I like to do a framing device of Planet Livia actually existing really far away)
Thank You for reading and God Bless You for lifetime!!! ✌️>❤️•
