The description of the comic:
The world has been twisted, an alien invasion has turned the Earth on its head. Banding together, the forces of Earth were able to destroy the alien threat. After the war, the world was ever paranoid, ever focused on the next war so promised by the alien invaders. Variance takes place in the near future, the world has become a land of plenty, alien technology has been integrated into everyday life and superhumans now a common occurrence. This picturesque world is controlled by a shadowy and oppressive force seeking to abduct and train these superhumans, for the goal of creating an army capable of fighting against the alien threat in the promised upcoming war. Many have an opposition to the new government’s brutal methods. Carmen, a newly awoken superhuman, is thrust into the battle and becomes enthralled in the conspiracies present on all sides. How will she manage to walk through the complex and brutal world that wants her for its own plans? Conspiracy, morality, action and the blurred lines between good and evil, Variance is a story that takes the expected tropes and twists them into something new.
The Major Players:
Variants:
These are the super powered people that exist in our universe. Their powers are the result of government testing with alien DNA. The general public is unaware to how so many people have become Variants, all that is generally known is that they started popping up after the alien war. The government has put the blame on the aliens, as a way to create unity between humans while creating distrust and fear around Variants. Early on a few bad Variants have caused trouble, now being a Variant means that you are marked in society as an unwanted. It’s you patriotic duty to report Variants, so that they may be detained and controlled. What ever causes Variants, only seems to effect the young. You develop and show signs of powers at age 16, and mysteriously lose them at age 30.
UTDC (United Territories Defense Council):
This is the newly formed government. During the alien war, all of the governments of the world united their resources in order to defeat their invaders. This new government was the result of their efforts to win. After the war, the UTDC began to take over everything in the name of world protection. Everything was split up between the major players, and they could rule the world as they saw fit. During this new found peace, the UTDC has been studying and abducting the newly discovered powered people of the world. The hopes is to use them as weapons in the coming intergalactic war, but for now they are the UTDC’s play things to poke and prod as they please. They use fear, secrecy, and the patriotic nature of people, in order to keep everyone in line.
The Resistance:
There have been many failed Resistances in this time of peace. Many of them have been crushed by the military might of the UTDC. This new Resistance is trying their best to stick to the shadows and operate in a manner to not draw too much attention to themselves. They have been painted as terrorist who want to bring down the world around them and expose the Earth so that the next alien threat can destroy them. This lie that the government has built has destroyed public opinion of the Resistance. The truth is that many of them are Variants who wish to expose the UTDC for who they are, and protect their families. Operating in the shadows an only work for long, at some point this Resistance will have to make a big move that shows they mean business.
Finally, some initial art!
Series Cover
Alice Brown and Carmen Hernandez
Carmen Hernandez is our main character. She has the power to manipulate electricity and she’s an avid field hockey player. The story follows her as she discovers her powers, and walks into a world she doesn’t really understand. By her side is her best friend Alice Brown. Alice is a very smart teenager and loyal friend to Carmen. They’ve been friends forever, and plan on keeping it that way.
Rochelle
Rochelle is our bad ass of the story (because every good story has one). She’s a part of the resistance who is planing to over throw the Government. She has the power to replicate animal biology. Her powers give her a deep connection to the animals, and the world around her, and this is how she’s built the connection she has with her pet tiger.
