1. Story Statement - To regain lost honor and place in the tribe.
2. Antagonist - Zolk - He seeks to eradicate the Silverbacks because he sees them as monsters and feral beasts. He wants to be famous and celebrated for his deeds, but he is brutal and violent, more feared than loved. To Zolk the Silverbacks are no more than mindless animals, savages that threaten the Ozar way of life. He thinks that eliminating them will make him a hero to the other Ozars who he has riled up with lies he tells of Silverback cruelty. He tells others that his scars are from torture when they were caused by his attacks against Silverbacks. He has a deep hatred for the Silverbacks; started in his youth by his participation in the Silverbacks imprisonment and only grew as he did. He tries to manipulate other Ozars but is neither charismatic or likable enough to succeed. When this fails, he falls back on violence, forcibly removing those who stand in his way. Using these methods and fueled by his loathing he propagates that the Silverbacks are a disease and the only cure is killing them all.
3. Breakout Title - Omega (preferred), D.O.G.S., Hero
4. Comparable - Redwall, because the characters are humanoid creatures trying to survive an apocalyptical event. Game of Thrones because it is a dark and gritty story, unpredictable who will survive or parish in a harsh world.
5. Hook Line - Terrabyss, his sister, and his friends are made Omega. They must liberate the commune of Thessaul to regain their status among the tribe. The odds are not in their favor; can four Maulers defeat a garrison of twelve Ozars?
6. Other Matters of Conflict - Terrabyss is concerned about putting the lives of his sister and friends in jeopardy. This leads him to make rash and irrational decisions, making them all suffer while he leans what it takes to become a leader.
a. A severe injury to a close friend brings disagreement among them on how they should proceed. Terrabyss must learn to accept the advice of others and learn to trust his own instincts.
7. Setting - Omega takes place in the Green Wall, a forest on the planet of Sarm. The Green Wall is massive and spans half a continent, containing multiple biomes within its boarders. It is primarily made of varying types of evergreen trees but it is also the only place where the sequoias grow. Their trunks are as thick as hills and their tips stand taller than mountains. The forest is misty from fog that rolls in from the coast and rises from the heavily dewy landscape. It is constantly assaulted by powerful storms of lightning, rain, and snow and can be particularly humid in the summer. It is full of life, from the different Taur clans animals like mammals, birds, insects, and fish as well as the monsters of varying danger and size. While some Taur clans, like the Silverbacks, don't like to disturb nature and do not even build homes, while others have entire cities built in clearings, trees, and below ground. The forest is also home to many ley lines which mages use to tap into the magic of the planet, but the world resists being altered from its natural state. The ley lines are living and feed off both decay and growth depending on the line. Above the Green Wall, the night sky is the Silverback portal to the afterlife and their ancestors, but also holds dangerous phantoms and the truth of what exist beyond the mortal realm.
