Ancillary Narrative 1

Hero:
A human named Frederick, who is a doctor forced out of his home and country into the badlands. He came to help people.

The physical goal:
His main goal is to keep himself safe and alive.

The emotional goal:
He wants to help the refugees, others in need, and other humans.

Personal obstacle:
His work of helping others is dangerous because overall humans are looked down upon because they are weaker than other species and it is very dangerous for humans because they are sometimes captured as slaves. Also these powers are not looking kindly on those that shelter refugees and runaway slaves.

Additive comprehension:
Get to learn about the badlands including the type of groups there, the landscape, the people living there, the lifestyle.

Villain:
Hero is being chased by a bounty hunter who captures runaway slaves, refugees, and humans to sell to certain powers.

Justification:
Money and they are a lower species/class and they should just follow the rules.

Main supporting characters:
A man that Frederick meets on the journey he saves, Frederick does not know his identity, which is a leader of a bandit gang. This bandit leader is a man with some morals but is very direct and is not afraid of violence. He is a person who pays back debts so he travels with Frederick to understand him and helps him out when physical confrontations happen.

Frederick’s partner/assistant is following him around because he kind of believes Frederick’s belief of helping others but not as much as him.

Locations:
The badlands

The forest will be deadish forest with little wildlife and mainly predators.

Desert will be full of dangerous trap animals and people trying to cross it.

Bandit towns are filled with bandits who tend to be unsafe to be around.

Logline:
Being chased by a bounty hunter, Frederick, a humanitarian doctor, saves a bandit leader and joins up with him to travel around the badlands helping people. But when a major attack is being implemented, Frederick is forced to help the bandits fend off and fight the bounty hunters.

Medium:
a webcomic. The reason for this is that there are going to be many encounters between people on the run, refugees and slaves, bandits, and bounty hunters. This will allow the story be told in visually and help create a sense of what type of place the badlands is.

Platform:
a webcomic because I can see it be a pretty long lasting story and can be paced slowly online giving a constant update on Frederick’s journey/adventure. The story takes advantage of this platform because it is a story where there are so many adventures that it seems like a manga series, so each week would a continuation of the story.

Bowl of serial:
a limited serial

It will be a serialized series. Follow the doctor and group.
