probably spam the flag a bit, the timings worked ok on my computer but it might be a bit laggy , sorry also fullscreen or not doesn't really matter mucH but i guess it's slightly better? ayyy i guess this counts as a pretty 'last minute' entry lol it's incomplete as of now, but i'm mostly just sharing it because judging is already in progress. the full script is complete, though, so i'll add to it later. aah also for the most part i removed the little star sticker things from her design, they should appear later in the unfinished part of the animatic though ;; hope thats ok anyway, character bio: name: jamie pronouns: she/her age: 15 element: void/shadow bday: feb 22 (pisces) personality: often staring into space and seemingly not paying attention, but very decisive and has a kind of quiet confidence. she also can't read others well or take social cues likes: space, the stars, etc; vanilla ice cream; alone time dislikes: manipulative people/liars; her powers + accompanying stigma; bugs you may also notice there are a few other characters in this animatic besides jamie herself. i've taken this chance to integrate her design into an existing idea of a story and flesh it out a lot more, and the animatic follows a part of the story that's mostly focused around jamie. a summary- in this world (either present day or near future), some lucky individuals are born with powers based around the elements: fire, water, air, nature, and a rare fifth: void. when their powers manifest at around age 11-13, these so-called elementalists are grouped into schools and academies to hone their powers and make sure they're not a danger to the outside world. (a note: there are a few different subcategories of each element, like a water elementalist may be able to control the temperature of water --> ice, or an air elementalist may be able to influence the weather; etc) as an element, void is uncommon and thought to be "evil," as nearly all void elementalists have become destructive and dangers to society. jamie, a young void elementalist, is afraid of this power and tries to avoid its presence in her life as much as possible. at an academy she never wanted to attend, she meets her friends- all of them outcasts in one way or another. they learn from each other and form close bonds, and when their outcast status catches up to them, jamie starts to consider the effect she's had on their little group. jamie trains and works hard to control her void powers rather than shun them, and as she does so, she begins to recognize that not only are the various students in the academy afraid of her- people she's never bothered to talk to- her friends are afraid too. afraid of what she could become. so she retreats back into her own head, swiftly rebuilding the walls that her "friends" had helped her break down. she realizes that she can never feel truly belonging here. so rather than face a life of carefully navigating around landmines, she decides to take initiative, to leave and join a secret society of void elementalists outside of the academy with more-than-questionable intentions. she decides to become exactly what everyone had feared she would be. so yeAH since i don't have the animatic finished yet i decided i'd leave the summary on a bit of a cliffhanger. the palette with the mauve-ish background is closest to present time, after jamie has made her decision. blue is jamie's past or younger years, and light pink is her happier times with her friends. also many apologies about my art style, it's VERy inconsistent recently and i 1. Can't Draw Hands and 2. Can't Keep Character Proportions Consistent credits in project, except for the fact that all designs except jamie's are mine lol EDIT: whoops i forgot, no theft broskis :000 character bio link thing:
