Hello, my names Rainbow and this is the start to my independent project. As a manga reader and anime lover I’ve found today’s anime/comics fast paced with no room to expand out side the main characters world. Seeing an untapped market I’m starting my own project called “Gears City: The path to a Hunter”. It will follow the main character who’s just a background character as they face life’s challenges from identity to emotion. This project has been on my mind for the past few months so I’ll be putting it out slowly into the world. Your welcome to ask questions as I work and see concept art as I publish

Element Exclusive:

Each element has its own exclusive move that can’t be copied by other classes.

Fire has lighting

Water has water mimics

Earth has plant manipulation

Air has ripple/screech

With that being said these all can be used with healing. Making any element a healing element as all elements use energy.

Elements:

Usually best described as the basic form of technique. Allowing the user to defend or attack. It’s pretty simple, the better the person gets at controlling an element the easier it gets. You can also combined elements to create a sub element. Think of it like math:

Water + Earth= mud/quicksand

Water + Fire= steam/mist

Water + Wind= a fast jet of water

Water + Water= water^2

Earth + Air= earthquake

Fire + Earth= magma/lava

Air + Fire= fire burn bigger and burn hotter if you don’t blow it out

Each sub element that can be mixed with main elements not found in their group.

Example: Water + Lightning = can pack a punch, if not down right deadly

By adding temperature can both weaken and strengthen its use. When a person starts off they can’t control the temp, as they need to either warm or cool off their energy. By heating energy you risk heat stroke the same way cooling energy can give you frost bite. Elements and sub elements can also be combined though many take serious energy levels. Example: Water with fire makes clouds, adding lightning makes a controllable storm

Elements: History and use

Water: Original origins can be traced back to early dessert civilizations. Do to climate it make sense to pull the water deep from I within the earth. Highly versatile, it’s purpose is both a main and supporting.

Sub element: ice, steam/mist, high tide

Air: Much like the wind air can be traced all around the globe. From ships getting one place to another. To people defending themselves against attacks. Used mostly as a support element it’s skill is undeniable and very useful for stealth

Sub element: pressure, vacuum, flow

Fire: Though many argue the exact origin. The tundra has claimed ownership for both inventing and evolving the misunderstood element. Used for warmth, defense, offense, and entertainment. Used mostly as a main it’s undeniably a powerful staple

Sub element: lighting, lava/magma, fire flow

Earth: Original discovered by copying animals that borough deep within the earth humans have learned to maintain the art. Gear city was actually one of the first colonies to implement into mining. Giving the country many years of prosperous growth and worth wild development. A main and supportive role

Sub element: rock, metal, earthquake

As elements can be powerful by themselves they can also be more affective together. Learning just one element can get you far but learning more than one can prove beneficial in the long run.

What is energy?

Energy is the natural life force found in every living creature no matter how big or small. The origin of energy goes way back when earth was just a floating ball of magma. A dimension that runs adjacent to their own opened in a series of rips causing pure energy to leak out onto the world. This energy gave the baby plant the blue prints to create its own. As the earth matured the core itself created its own natural energy that while similar was different. Note: Think sisters not twins. As the plant got populated by microscopic organisms and biomes popped up eventually the rips leaked creatures as well. Causing creatures with similar aura to appear at random. The difference in energy aura keeps sharks from falling into desserts and poisonous spiders from the tundra. Since natural forming rips happen any where at random, and the size of the rip can be a few inches to 4 feet tall it can get pretty dangerous. Enter in the hunters. A hunter’s job is to track down the creatures leaked from the rips to send them back and close the portal linking worlds. Note: Even if the rips stop in todays age the energy created in there world will not disappear as it has ingrained itself deep within the core of the planet

Energy is as unique as a fingerprint and flows throughout every muscle and vital organs through a series of channels in the nerves. While energy may run throughout the body it isn’t needed to stay alive. A person can live without energy just as long as a person with energy. If you runout of energy it won’t kill you, but runs the risk of making you weak and ill temporarily. While everyone has estimatedly the same amount of energy you can choose to grow it or not. Some people can gain more energy faster than others even with the same training. Note: there are a millions of different trainings and styles you just have to find the one that works for you. Unlike Naruto you can’t breed better energy paths. Your parents could be legends and have “the best” energy paths known to man but you could just be average. To balance out energy levels I gave it a “cap”. A person can’t take on or make too much energy as they risk shredding their energy paths and destroying their cells one by one. Taking on too much energy too fast can kill you. This “cap” also stops a person so they can’t turn into a “super Saiyan”.

Since energy has existed since the beginning of time both humans and animals have found ways to both build and destroy. Civilizations have been cooking with energy for generations. Clans and groups have their own medical and natural ways to “clean” Energy. I also decided energy doesn’t have a “home base”, though the person can move energy to parts of their body when they need it. While people can be born with less/more energy they don’t get born with zero. Animals and human alike have found ways to expand on the use energy. Humans copy nature but can make their own technique. Think toph.

The prototype for the energy system as I hate the “dragon ball” treatment that many anime’s give their main characters. The idea that they use the roof so far every fight gets boring after awhile

This project was heavily inspired by Naruto, somewhat the avatar, and Pokémon to a degree. I sort of just took what I liked about all three and made them into one project. In fact, this started as a Naruto fanfic of what I would personally do with the story from part one and part two. Of course I’m not the original creator of Naruto but the more I got into it the more I realize why don’t I just make my own comics/manga.
