Waddles into ur inbox so politely . haiii quick question just 2 b sure.... is ur world w/ pixl n jack n troy still called the soot project? mainly asking to be sure of tagging purposes hdjwhdjd and on an unrelated note, may I ask what the cast of characters there is? :0 I totally get it if some of them haven't been fully revealed for mystery reasons but my mind has been turning over that bunny bot from that one comic w/ pixl and i'm So Curious BCJSBD
Project Soot has been the placeholder title for the world since I first started working on it. Pointing mostly towards an old game project I made years ago. I do have other titles in mind since starting the rewrite (Post-Immortal for example), but I'm sticking with Project Soot until I get everything more set in stone.
I'm still mid-rewrite for most of them currently, but I can list down the ones I've got so far along with some of their lore. (Also an excuse to talk about one or two I've come up with recently)
Created through various experiments, Jack is left as half a ghost. Unable to die no matter what happens to him. And left with a hunger for souls after a while or if he uses his abilities too much. How he goes about this led to him becoming a Ghost Ship-like myth between travelers.
(Yet to go through rewrite) One of the machines on Jack's ship. Imbued with a soul by Jack to become aware. May possibly have internal struggles over what parts of him are him and what is remnants of the soul.
Created through similar experiments as Jack, though by a different group. Pixl used to be one of the researchers on the team. Though after the experiment, was left unstable. An uprising later, Pixl now runs his own little city of robots.
(Yet to go through rewrite) Another result of the experiments. Similar to Jack in many ways, though where Jack is based around Ghost Ships, Jasper is more so based around vampires.
(Currently lives in concepts. Even the name's placeholder) The scientist that created Jack, Jasper, and assisted with the Pixl experiment. Wanting to become immortal himself, he started the experiments. Eventually he puts himself through the process that ends up making him like he is in the sketches. One of the main villains.
One of the characters my girlfriend helped created. Trix has been by Pixl's side through most of his new life. Created not long after Pixl was made. Though the side-effects of the experiment was a lot more apparent on her. Leaving Trix more evil and manipulative. Similar to Pixl, She can control machines. Though she doesn't need to/can't transfer between them like Pixl.
The second character my girlfriend helped with. Dolly is another friend of Pixl's. Through some chain of events, Pixl gets stuck with them for a while and learns to care for them by the time he gets back home. Trix isn't fond of this and eventually forces Pixl to kill her. Pixl would take her to Jack who would eventually agree to transfer her soul into a robot body. Dolly afterwards would be dealing with the side-effects of this. (The programming battling for instinctual control. The inability to feel. etc)
