Blue Nebula
(i'm currently debating on whether the title should be Nebulascope's Roses or Blue Nebula)Summary:
The story takes place in two futuristic cities. Revera, the city where people live safe and comfortably, and Nebulascope, your typical cyberpunk city where crime rates are high. Iris, a dedicated member of the Reverian Organization, strives to help take down BlackWing, an organization in Nebulascope, led by the corrupted Darven. After getting critically wounded, her body is put in hyper sleep for many years while doctors try to help her recover. Waking up to her devastation, she finds out her apprentice, Rye, and younger sister, Nova, have been working for Revera’s biggest enemy, Darven.Biggest Inspiration for Blue Nebula:
1. Arcane (characters and art style)
2. Black Lagoon (characters)Blue Nebula is set in a cyberpunk/steampunk futuristic world.Blue Nebula is my more serious story revolving around morally grey characters. There will be doomed friendships, doomed enemies to lovers, found family, etc.BEFORE PROCEEDING PLS READ:
• alot of lore in my animations may be outdated since I was still changing alot of the story while animating. things like character relationships, personalities, and designs may be very different to what i was animating at the time
• there are alot of design inconsistencies in my art and animations and that is because I didn't make a reference for some ocs until recently. Only Rye and Nova have an official reference sheet. I'm still working on Iris and Damian's ref sheet.
• all the descriptions written here for my ocs are how they all initially started out. Some of their backstory will not be included. They all eventually go through some form of change or understanding for better or worse. SOME of their character development will be found here but majority is still in my google doc.

Map is outdated. The green part does not existREVERA
- known as very safe
- nature is heavily protected
- citizens live very normal and peaceful lives
- locked: it’s difficult to get in, few are aloud to leave and return
- more of victorian steampunk fantasy like city with technological components
- similar to the city in NimonaRevera’s underground laboratory:
- small laboratories in multiple locations in Revera hidden from the public. Children or weaker people from unprotected areas of Nebulascope are kidnapped and secretly taken to be used as test subjectsReverian Roses - an underground organization against BlackWingRevera’s three districts:
Centrose
- more people
- market place
- lots of shoppingReveropolis
- rich people side
- very quiet and reserved
- a lot of gardens and small cafes
- less people live hereWhalestone
- smaller village
- less advanced technologically out of the three
- basically the “country side”_________________________________________________________________________NEBULASCOPE
- "ruled" by a variety of people
- alot of crime and death
- unsafe
- more like your typical cyberpunk city
- corruption of the city changes newcomers
- more advanced in technology than ReveraSoarona
- the most dangerous and crimed filled area of Nebulascope
- just imagine Zaun from Arcane

pls ignore my bad grammer i haven't proof read this yetRye was born in Nebulascope and was kidnapped to become one of the children experiments for one of Reverian's secret laboratories. She was assigned to the ORCA lab and given a special tattoo that says "ORCA-C" on her neck when soaked in water. She was lucky enough to escape and she pretended she was drafted as one of the scouts for the Reverian Roses' training. She hid the fact that she was an experiment and pretended she was born from Revera.Rye was only close to Iris, her mentor, and had a decent friendship with Damian and Dovella. She was less capable and respected by her peers who constantly saw her as a drag to the group. She had more childish interests and often acted younger than others her age.A few members of the Reverian Roses organization knew about the human experiments and were in search of the multiple laboratory locations to save the experimented people. Rye told Iris about her past and the location of the lab she was from. The members then planned to infiltrate the lab. At the same time, there was an invasion from Nebulascope. Afraid for her safety, Iris made Rye stay behind while the rest went to the lab. Rye, desperately wanting to help and save her friends who were still in the lab, secretly followed. She ended up accidentally setting the lab on fire and destroying everyone inside. Iris got frustrated at Rye.Iris's younger sister, Nova, was in critical danger and Iris had to choose between abandoning Rye during an enemy invasion to find Nova or staying with Rye. Iris chose her sister and Rye felt very abandoned and scared. As Iris left, Rye saw her die in front of her eyes.A surviving scientist grabbed Rye to prevent her from escaping again but he was shot by Darven, the leader of BlackWing from Nebulascope.Darven came up to Rye with the intention of discarding her but saw the tattoo on her neck since it started to rain. He revealed to Rye he had an experimented label tattoo of his own and Rye trusted him because of this shared trauma. Rye only cared about Iris the most than her other Reverian scoutmates so leaving with Darven to Nebulascope was not too difficult. She became an enemy to Revera and her past friends.Being raised in a power and money hungry environment, Rye has absorbed this viewpoint at the core of her life. She has developed abandonment issues and puts all her relationships with the members of BlackWing at surface level.Darven viewed Rye like a daughter but did not know how to treat her like one, and raised her like a distant mentor, seeing her as someone who would overtake his organization if he died. Despite enjoying the thrill of fighting and jumping through buildings, Rye enjoys her occasional strolls through the night city and feeding pigeons.When Rye was still in Revera as a young child she enjoyed playing with gadgets and scraps that were recycled. She used to spray paint her belongings and tinker with robotics. Many people around her mocked what she liked doing, saying it was childish but because Iris supported her, she did not care.Now that nobody was there to back her up in BlackWing, Rye started to conform to social expectations not just for survival but also for gaining respect. She viewed more power = more respect. After learning that fighting was more viewed as a more useful skill to have, Rye put that at her priority and her old hobbies were completely abandoned when moving to Nebulascope.Nova, Iris’ younger sister, suddenly joined BlackWing. Rye was very sceptical of this and saw Nova as too innocent and unable to keep up with the group. Her morals and viewpoints were too similar to Revera’s. Nova as a whole challenged Rye’s views. Nova was also into stickers and less into fighting but was gaining the respect of Darven with her knowledge of technology and hacking. Rye saw Nova as her younger self but actually capable.The news of Iris’s return conflicted Rye a lot, as she is now met with the choice of returning to her old mentor or staying with BlackWing.
Spending more time with Nova changed her behavior. Nova prefers to prove herself through individualism while Rye proves through adapting to the environment. The two rub off on each other as Nova helps Rye be less concerned with how others perceive her interests and uses it against them.Rye lets herself be more vulnerable in different situations allowing Nova to shine more. As Nova adapts more to the environment, her morals stoop lower than Rye’s which bothers her. Rye hated it when others perceived her as weak and vulnerable, the same way she viewed Nova. And she hated it when Nova became less reliant and stronger in her own ways.LIKES

- Rye is the best fist fighter out of the four but prefers to use her tinkered gadgets. Hence why she and Nova get along so well.
- Rye can be very playful and chaotic as she teases her enemies but she her social battery drains so fast
- sits on chair with one leg up
- Raine could never pronounce her name correctly as a kid and always said “Rye” so her family made that her nickname
- she feeds pigeons on the streets almost every morning like a granny. She’s quite popular with them
- When Rye was younger, she was taller than Damian
- nobody calls her by her first legal name. In fact, many don’t even know it. Even if someone calls her Raine, she won’t even know they are talking to her. Everyone just calls her Rye. Enemies/strangers sometimes call her OrcaDESIGN NOTES:
- Rye's jacket changes color and glows depending on the amount of lighting in the room
- wears over sized t-shirts
- she also wears cargo pants. In her old design i did use to draw her with cargo pants but I later removed it to simplify her design for when I do more animations with her.
- shes ties her hair up in a pony tail with a blue ribbon that glows on the dark
- later in the story she does wear her hair in braids and covers herself in spray paint and stuff but ain't no way im animating that
- i have been constantly debating on whether she has brown or blue eyes and have come to the final decision on blue eyes (that was even her initial eye color when I first designed her). Why is her eyes brown in some of the animations????uhh lets say shes wearing brown contactsMOODBOARD

- loyal
- protective
- compassionate
- reservedSUMMARY
Iris is the oldest of the group. She was in her mid 20s when Rye and Damian were pre-teens and Nova was a child. She was everyone’s big sister and understood the importance of being strong physically and emotionally. Iris was suddenly wrapped up in the Revera lab’s experiments and was accidentally thrown into a different dimension (might change this part). When she figured out a way to return to her world in 12-13 minutes, 12-13 years had passed. What felt like a few minutes to her was years in the real world. Iris faces the difficulty of accepting that everyone is grown, people have changed, her mentor and younger sister are working for her enemy.LIKES

Nova is a spy for Reverian Roses. She “joined” BlackWing with the purpose of breaking it down from the inside and giving information to Revera. However, Nova was so insanely undercover that only a few from Revera (Like Damian and Lionel) knew she was a spy. Majority thought she betrayed Revera.Nova was very scared and hesitant when joining BlackWing as she was not used to the chaotic lifestyle and dangerous environments she had to adapt to. She also hated it when Rye looked down on her.Rye and Nova spent more time together and eventually they started to care for each other. Nova also started to care for Darven as well. Her moral compass started to switch with Rye’s and she started to manipulate and feel less guilty when hurting others in her plans. Darven also decided Nova would be better off taking the lead in his organization rather than Rye. However, she still griefs for the day that she will eliminate them all.Design Notes:
