Comic for my characters ive been working on for 6 years :) I plan to finish writing and start drafting the layouts in 2-0-2-5///// - the distant future

Really need to rewrite this btw---
The basics for the plot is that all of the cities on earth are being overrun by highly evolved forests and other unnatural weather events and the main characters have to sort out their family drama before the apocalypse begins.
*Later in the plot there are references/parodys of biblical events so be aware of that if you dont like blasphemic media
Ryusaki
He is the head of a governemnt research lab dedicated to finding ways to stop the forests from expanding. A few years before, his daughter went missing and his wife left him. He did not handle this well, so instead of doing his job, he puts most of his resources towards trying to find a way to genetically replace his missing daughter and get his old life back.
Andle
She is one of the first 'sucessful' samples from his secret research, as she looks very similar to his original daughter. She grew up in the lab, and gets most of her information about the outside world from news coverage of the growing climate disasters. When she has the chance to leave the lab behind, she sets out to do her own investigation into what happened to Ryusaki's daughter as the stories she's heard dont add up.
Aloe
Having recently moved back to Japan, his father got him an entry level job with the local government. When he is assigned to help with the lab renovations, he quickly befriends Andle and when the more sinister intentions of the governemnt's intervention get revealed they escape together into what remains of the city.
Greenburg
A charming, mysterious man that has quickly risen to power in the local government, he is tasked with getting Ryusakis lab back on track with their research. He seems to be taking special notice of the divided support of the public, those who support the spreading forests versus those who prefer to keep their city industrialized. He will be important later, in the second part.

Those are the main characters but theres lots more, I will do a part 2 once I make better refs for them and probably another part about the world building and full plot :)
Ralph is retired and lives in the old part of the city with his wife and love of his life, Judith. He has a great sense of humor and loves kids. He tries (and fails) to ‘keep up with the youth’ by listening to popular music and wearing a tacky mix of modern streetwear, along with the more traditional clothing Judith manages to dress him in.
He is the more laid back of the pair, and helps Judith through her mental health episodes. He often puts aside his own beliefs and choices to support hers. He is still in touch with Ryusaki, though not as often as he would like, mainly through unanswered letters and brief phone calls.
Later on, he takes unofficial custody of Maple in the absence of her mother, and the two form a close bond with him becoming a great role model for her.
