 World / Story Building

In this post, I want to tighten up my story and plot also talking about the world and how it works... 

Starting with the world, I want to talk about how it lives and breathes. Firstly I have named the world Pulseon, referring to the pulses of the heart. The core of the planet is a heart, functioning to push blood all around the world. The Veins that come straight from the heart are immense in scale, therefore, take up a lot of the landscape around where they are on the planet. In the story, the town is sat next to one of these main veins. The backstory of the animation is that the space station is carrying a certain amount of the last population of the Temporans in cryo, on a mission to find the next habitable planet for them to live. The reason behind this is that the planet had got destroyed and became uninhabitable for the race. This happened when the core of the planet - the heart - begins to have a heart attack, and because of the scale of the heart, the process is slow so the people of the world had time to be able to evacuate before all life on the planet stands still. When the attack is occurring, the veins burst like pipes with leaks all over the place, they deflate and collapse, and their overall color of them darkens, appearing dead.

The Town that Lobe'ous lives in is called Ventrical which obviously plays on the word ventricle from the heart. The town is not too dense however buildings are built high in the corporate areas. The more suburban areas where Lobe'ous lives are more detached houses. Then there are the more run-down areas which are closest to the main vein, with small buildings, and cramped conditions. These are the inhabitants that could not afford the fee to evacuate and a lot could not avoid the floods of blood after the attack started...

The blood from the veins is the resource the world uses to run, without it, the world would stop running. The blood is extracted from the veins to use for fuel, generators, power, etc. The huge corporations take this to the next level and have huge factories to extract the blood. Over millions of years, the blood is extracted at a higher level over each generation as the technology advanced. What the Temporans did not expect, however, is that at some point in time, the blood flow that they are taking from would become too low for the planet to survive. That point eventually came, causing a heart attack for the core of the planet!
