Finally, a Big Trouble post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Got kinda lazy, BUT this is a past version of him :3)

“It all starts with an Action” is the motto given to new Luminaries, the people whose choices have changed their own lives or the lives of others.

Their journey usually begins small—a local show, a school play, a short film, or even a simple act of kindness—but that first action pushes them into the light. As their work reaches more people through shows, movies, plays, or other acts of service, their names spread, and their faces become familiar. With this new popularity, Luminaries can decide what kind of figures they want to be.

Some use their growing influence to perform more Acts, trying to help more people and build a legacy of heroism. 

Others turn away from the stage and screen, pouring their viewership and money into colossal companies that shape cities, technology, and even governments. 

A few walk away from everything, choosing to abandon the spotlight and return quietly to their normal, daily lives.

Over time, a powerful faction of Luminaries forms an organized industry of “Heroes” trained to rush in whenever people are in danger. On the outside, it looks like pure hope: bright costumes, dramatic rescues, and cameras always ready to capture the moment.

But behind the scenes, most of these Heroes are trapped. They are forced into endless contracts, building up debts they can barely pay off with one job, then another, and another.

The people who control them—called Producers—pull their strings from the shadows, twisting their minds and pushing them into darker and darker missions. These jobs slowly change the Heroes, making them do horrible things to themselves and to others, all for ratings, profit, or secret experiments.

The Producers feed their machines and projects by tearing resources from the world around them, taking whatever they want from the environment and using it for tests on their “products.”

One of their most dangerous tools is a substance known as Devil’s Blood, a powerful energy that lets them create impossible effects on screen and in real life. Every time they use it, the very gates of their world crack a little more, as if the universe itself is protesting. This power stirs the rage of the Devil’s “Rejection,” a force that grows stronger with each misuse, waiting for the moment to strike back and reclaim what was stolen.

As the years pass, their world rises higher into the sky. New technology lets them build towering cities that float or pierce the clouds, create fast, gleaming transportation systems, and turn farming fields into bright, mechanical landscapes.

People live among screens and holograms, with the image of the Luminaries everywhere they look. More and more shows are inspired by this new era—dramas about Heroes, documentaries about the Producers, flashy contests to discover the “next big Luminary.”

These programs bring in enormous profit and attention, and no one benefits more than the Producers, who sit comfortably on top of the industry they created, smiling as the world watches and the cracks in reality slowly widen.

The story begins in the bright, chaotic heart of Luminara District, where most new Luminaries are first discovered.

Far above the clouds lies Skyfract Dominion, a shattered sky‑realm where the cracks from Devil’s Blood are easiest to see.

Hidden behind glittering towers is The Producer’s Reach, the secret zone where contracts are written and lives are controlled.

At the edge of the floating cities sprawls Riftline Metropolis, a crowded region built right along the fractures in the world.

Beyond the main cities stretches the Devil’s Gate Expanse, a dangerous frontier where the gates of their world grow weaker every year.

People are evolving into hell itself

Their sins affect the innocent

Hope is no longer

The Story Starts Now-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This World is Full of Sin, our gazes look at the sky for a sign of heaven, but we destroyed that peace long ago...

(This took a lot of time to rewrite and fix, but I hope y'all like it so far!)

I have a few questions regarding Patterns Of Show Frauds (Hopefully I don't dive into spoiler territory)

What is the aesthetic and tone you're going for with POSF's setting (again, not asking for spoilers)

Are Umicar, Trouble Truck (Team Umizoomi) and Dasha (Masha's sister from Masha And The Bear) in your AU? If so, what are they're roles in your AU?

What I had planned for the aesthetic was like an Industrial hell vibe and Neo-futurism. I have a lot of references for aesthetics that certain cities have, I'll just list some here:

Industrial Hell, Neo-Futurism, Frutiger Aero/Glacier, Techcore y2k, Decopunk/dieselpunk, cybercore, Divine Machinery, etc etc...-

FINALLY, SOMEONE ASKS ME ABT THEM- Trouble Truck is going to look SINGIFCANLY different for my designs, btw, but mostly his role is going to be a loyal Retainer type, he wouldn't be talking much...- And for Dasha, she's mostly going to be an Observing Outsider, since like in the show, she's highly intelligent, and likely "normal" to others, I love add my own ideas to characters AND since Dasha seems more formal and "Nerdy" (Ig) I would like her to be studying EVERYTHING around her, people, object, animals, buildings etc etc...-

DISCLAIMER

Since I’m a one‑person army right now 💔, progress is going to be a little slow. I’ll be posting around 1–5 times a week (Maybe... a week or more idk-), at pretty random times. ✍(◔◡◔)

BUT I PROMISE I’M WORKING AS HARD AS I CAN, Y’ALL.

(Also, Spud is "Spur" from Mlp, in the ep "Growing up is hard to do." Plus, i really liked the design in the ep >_<)

(R) "-But since she’s climbed pretty high in rank, she’s got clearance for… let’s say, ‘violent negotiation.’So that's why I was sent. But I’m planning to make her give me what I want for free.”

(Spud) “So you’re trying to scam someone who’s better at this job than you are?”

(Spud) “Is there anything dangerous about this person? I’m guessing she knows how to fight…”

(R) “Oh, she’s famous for being a psycho. She rides around the city on her own cargo train with a weapon in her hands. Makes sense, though—this place sucks at protection.”

(Spud) *Great. I’m getting handled by an idiot…*
