Saviors (Webisode Series)

[The Doctor]

SUMMARY: A group of young superheroes find themselves fighting to pick up where their parents left off when they are unexpectedly murdered. As our heroes try to figure out their new circumstances they find themselves in, a dark force rises to stop the next generation from taking over.

Sequence One
“Time To Protect The World”
After the destruction of the Hero Academy and the death of the world’s superhero team The Justice Force, Junior superheroes Guard, Energa, Circuit, and Chronos, must take up their fallen mentor's mantle as defenders of Metro City. But with the mounting pressures of being teenagers, expectations of their worth and the growing pains of becoming the world’s newest superhero team, will this quartet survive their stint as the world’s superhero team, or die trying?

Characters:
Kenny Hudson/Guard (17): Stubborn, yet determined member of this new generation of the Justice Force. Not really a fan of taking the lead and more of a solo act, Guard must get over his diversion of being with others and start learning to work as a unit with his friends.
Powers: None. But has been trained in many forms of martial arts so he is definitely able to lay a smackdown on some gnarly villains.

Cecily Kornell/Wicca Energa(17): Optimistic is the greatest way to describe Cecily, however don't let that fool you. She can be a force to be reckoned with and a powerful ally if you don't piss her off. After the fall of the original Justice Force, Cecily readily agrees to picking up the mantle of defender of Metro City with her friends. A decision that may lead her to her ultimate destiny.
Powers: With the ability to harness the earth's energy, Cecily can not only create life source energy, but in recent has learned she can take it away. From plants, from animals. From humans. She was practicing to focus that energy into a physical form and is now able to develop the ability to create barriers against others attacks

Jeremy Michaelson/Circuit (17): From the outside perspective he seems like the world’s biggest dick, but underneath all the sass and snark, Jeremy is the nicest guy who would go out of his way to help people. After the fall of the hero academy, Jeremy steps up and helps his friends take on this brave new world, but with his personal and superhero lives colliding more, he realizes that a choice will need to be made.
Powers: Affected by his anorm abilities, Jeremy has become a technopath. He can interface/communicate with any and all electronics. He also has the ability to warp inside of the internet however he has a limit of 4 hours before he must escape. Otherwise he’ll be trapped.

Devin Connors/Chronos (17): From a young age, being a hero is all Devin wanted. With his mother trying to keep a roof over their heads, Devin kept up with studying, taking care of his brother, and saving the world all thanks to his ability of jumping backwards in time. With it he was able to stay on top of everything in his life and excelled in the academy as one of their top students. After the academy falls, Devin rally’s this ragtag group to become the NEW Justice Force. But with his mentors and the academy gone, Devin must now put all his training to good use in order to survive.
Powers: Affected by his Anorm abilities, Devin gains the ability of chronokinesis. He can rewind, fast forward, and manipulate time any way he sees fit. Before he gained somewhat control, he could only go backwards in time for 30 seconds, but now he can go back in time maybe 5 or 6 minutes at a time. Any longer and he might tax out his body to the point he might pass out or worse.

Sequence One Recurring Characters:
Aqualass/Carrie Flowers (17): An old classmate and friend of Cessily and Kenny. She used to be friends with them, but once she started hanging out with the Elementals, she didn't need them anymore. Was last seen fleeing the Academy with the elementals after the explosion
Powers: Affected by her “Anorm” abilities , Carrie developed the ability of Hydrokinesis. With that ability she is able to control and manipulate water.

Desmond Black (45): Former Benefactor for the Justice Force. Has been missing since the explosion. Considered a high value target.

Warp (23): A thief who likes to taunt and harass Guard. Although the two are normally at odds, Warp and Guard could be considered allies. Although, Warp wishes it could be more.
Powers: An Anorm with the power to open a portal to any location in the world so long as he knows where he is going.

Agent Six: The team’s liaison to the U.N. and their new den mother.

[Brady Brown]

This is the start of a really interesting pitch. I love anything and everything superheroes, so I'm already hooked. That being said, I'm looking forward to this being fleshed out and expanded upon, because I've got some questions: What are their powers? What is this hero academy? Why are these four the ones who need to replace their parents? I'm sure you've got all of these ideas brewing, so I can't wait to see how this develops!

[Alex Matthews]

I think I can echo what Brady has said here, Karl. You're a great idea guy, and I really look forward to you finally finding a project you want to see through, and it seems like this could be it, fingers crossed...

Also, kudos on the 'superhero' codenames! My personal fav is 'Energa'!

[The Doctor]

Thank you for the kind words guys.
This project has been a staple for me to finish. I was planning on doing another DC or Marvel pitch, but I decided against it and created my own characters instead.

Honestly I hope you guys like it. I'll just say this is going to be a series where the measure of being a hero gets tested and growing up in the hero business isn't glamorous.

Also one spoiler: Deaths that happen, won't be reversed. Like at all. I'm over the use of the magic fix-it's and do over's.

I'm taking a page out of Jack Malone's book of making death's stick

[Jack Malone]

Excited to see a pilot for this one, Karl!

There's so many great superheroes out there, it's refreshing to see you tackle your own and build your own universe from the ground up. Hope it all goes well for you, and as I said, I'm eager to read a pilot

[Brian Melanson]

Now this is what I'm talking about!

It's going to be great to see you build your own story from the ground up and not rely on existing canon. I think that will help you in a huge way! While I am worried about all the tropes that are in this, I am very intrigued to see how you handle them. While having familiar tropes isn't a bad thing, it's all about how you do it. So with that being said, bring on a pilot! It would be nice to see a new superhero series. Good luck with it !

[A. Blackwood]

This is definitely an interesting idea. I'm the first to admit I don't know a whole lot about comic superheroes but I'm always a fan of more original superhero stories that don't necessarily rely on decades of history because I find them a lot easier to get into. I'd love to see this pitch when you add some more details about characters and plot because I'm very curious to see where you want to take it

[The Doctor]

I appreciate the love guys. Like alot.

I think you're going to love the dynamic of the "core four". I will say that the four man team aspect is something that will be touched on. I took inspiration from the original incarnation of the teen titans.

[The Doctor]

Also, I just updated the chapters with the rest of the summaries

[The Doctor]

Im currently working on the first episode of this Webseries.

I apologize that i've been taking so long to take care of this. I wanted to map the series out from start to finish. I know normally its healthy to just start with what you have and then let the creativity or writing guide you, however, I'm writing the sequel of this as a book.

So with that in mind, I wanted to at least release this series to show how it all led to my book. I hope you all like the pilot when I finally get it done. I should have something concrete for y'all to read in the next couple of weeks if you guys give me time

I appreciate you guys for taking the time to even read this little note and to stay fans of this pitch. I hope you guys stay fans of this series when it starts.
