Gavin Wright is a young man from the East coast of the USA. Born years after the fall of civilized life, Gavin grew up in a small New England community, where he quickly obtained a fascination and a hobby of fixing vehicles, starting with bicycles and moving up to gas-powered automobiles. Gavin competed in small local and long-distance races, living a content life, however the enticing lifestyle of the races held in South Yankton, the racing capital of North America, sent Gavin on a trek to the state in hopes of making a living out of his passion for racing. | Gavin Wright is a young man from the East coast of the USA.

I have a great interest in the alternative-superhero genre (superhero stories that don't follow comic-cliches and/or don't wear costumes, you know, something generally atypical of your average superhero tale or a somewhat analysis of the concept of superpowers; basically a superpower work of fiction that isn't adapted from a comic), and this is my first project in the genre.

*Sunny Days - A drug game that takes place in a mental institute. After experiencing the effects of a mysterious drug, 37-year-old Shelly Westfall-Bentley is committed to Sunny Days Psychiatric Institute in an unnamed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania Pennsylvania] city by her eldest 19-year-old son and her younger sister. Shelly's head is shaved before being thrust into the white walls of the ward, where she constantly experiences lingering after-effects, which make her prone to hallucinations and vivid daydream scenarios, making her an anomaly among the hospital doctors. The hospital staff subject her to inhumane tests and sedative pills that also neutralize the hallucinations. After discovering the dark secret of the hospital, Shelly plans on escaping from the institute, however the hallucinations become both a blessing and a curse as they blur the lines between imagination and reality, making the escape more challenging as she must find and ration the neutralizing pills. Go watch the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to get a feel of what this game involves. This is a third-person over-the-shoulder game with stylized visuals and stylized exaggerated humans. Butterflies are a visual motif of this game, their presence indicating the prevalence of any hallucination.<br><br> | |||
*Bugology (working title) - A race of minuscule aliens sends a team of anthropologists to planet Earth in the distant future where humans have long gone and bugs have become the dominant presence (and have evolved to humanoid-similarity and most have become intelligent). Players control one member of the anthro team, a skilled cultural anthropologist (though the least-skilled among the group), who's initial mission is to research the different insect and bug species, however tensions between the different bug "tribes" as well as among the team members eventually turns the entire operation around as war begins to brew in the backyard of an abandoned household. On his quest, the player-character comes across the ability to transform into a bug, complete with that specific bug's abilities, eventually gaining the ability to morph into other bugs and changing into any bug at will. This is a very old idea of mine that came into fruition from my love of bugs and my fascination with scale (like how we see these small distances as not very epic, yet to a bug's mind... 20 feet is a very long distance that could house several dangers and adventures, so this game will really play around with this theme).

=== | ===Tool 2=== | ||
Taking place a month after Tool, this sequel is set in the central Kabinxa (Texas) area. The game world extends from the city of San Fernando (San Antonio) in the southwest to Phelps (Austin) in the northeast, with shitloads of locales in between. After the war, large dome networks were constructed around the majority of the cities (similar to the one around New Gaspard), which allowed people to continue living in both cities, and technical and cyberpunky advancements were made within the cities over the years (which means that the lower areas of the cities will be based on the modern buildings of the cities). The game protagonist lives in the small town of San Leon (San Marcos, Texas), situated halfway between both cities. The story unfolds as an alleged attack on San Fernando by Phelps destroys the dome protecting the city, causing the city to succumb to the outside atmosphere and sending the city into turmoil. San Fernando begins blaming Phelps for the attack and begins retaliating, sending troops towards the city. War broke out in 2086, with the small San Leon caught in the middle. Set 6 years after the break out, our protagonist ends up moving to the ever-increasing crowded city of Phelps to escape the shit going on outside, but obviously even more shit happens within the walls. I've toyed with this idea since probably a month after conceiving Tool.<br><br> | |||
This game is more [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_(film) Akira] inspired, with an emphasis on futuristic bike-riding than the biker gang-influenced style of the first game.
