Okay, I've got BIG news for everyone here.

I am making... a GRAPHIC NOVEL.

Yes, a graphic novel. This isn't some kid crap either. This is the real deal. Like, we're actually going to try and get this published. Oh, and by "we", I mean a group of four people looking to make this. We're very serious.

If you want to know what the graphic novel is about, I'll fill you in.

The novel is called Paranormis. It is about Shawn Tanner, a young man working for the vice sqaud in the police department for Aether, a fictional metropolis set in the northeastern region of the United States. If you want a visual, consider it the US's version of Tokyo.

Aether is a technological marvel as well as a commercial hub. With various cyberpunk influences, Aether is considered to be the most populated and most popular city in the United States. While it is home to the best stores, nightclubs, parties, hot spots and so on, it is also home to frequent crimes ranging from petty theft to murder. Aether is also plagued by the trafficking of a new synthetic drug called "flow", which practically manipulates the brain into functioning in different ways, provoking a euphoric effect along with synesthesia and other feelings. While this drug may seem like the future of recreational drugs, it is very dangerous. Flow, if used long enough, can damage the brain in a way that it can't function properly, which can lead to permantent brain damage, catatonia or even death.

Anyways, about the story...

Shawn is staking out a drug deal one night when the dealer is brutally murdered. Giving chase, Shawn discovers that the culprit is in fact, a demon, which critically injures Shawn before fleeing. At a nearby hospital, Shawn is propositioned by a supposed federal agent named Isaac Ford, who offers Shawn a job within his ranks, only these ranks are unlike any Shawn has seen. These ranks belong to Ganymede, a secret agency that serves as the third branch of the US government. Ganymede deals with supernatural related criteria and has a division for specific things, such as artifacts, extraterrestrials, supernatural crimes (which is what Shawn is assigned to) and more.

That's the premise (or to be more truthful, that's all I can say right now. *winky face*)
