1. P3: Develop an original story to be told
within the graphic novel or comic
Name: UNLEASHED: The Calling of
the Darkness (part 10/12)
Genre: Action adventure
2. Main Character (Protagonist)
Name: Drayor Draconi
Species: Human vicus-god (quarter god)
Age: 22
Powers and strengths : Super strength, endurance, can harness all the power of the Earth for a small
time, uses a sword which is stronger than any other weapon in the solar system. Drayor’s fighting skills
for exceeds most people.
Flaws: His own pride can lead him into bad situations, he hasn’t fully mastered his ability to harness the
power of the Earth, which means the ability puts a great toll on him and drains him of his energy fast.
Drayor is conflicted with the light and dark and can loose control of his mental state and mindset if he
gets too enraged.
Personality: Drayor is kind, helpful, always prepared, and a loving person. He is not the smartest person,
although he likes to think he is, and can often be quite rude, saying things he doesn’t mean or hurting
people’s feelings without realising due to his issues socialising and fitting in.
Background: Drayor never knew any of his family, abandoned at birth, Drayor lived at an orphanage for
2 years until he was adopted. His foster parents discovered his power when he was 4, they tried to hide
it from him until he was ready to be responsible enough to learn it. However Drayor discovered his
power when he was 12, stopping him and his friend being hit by a car on the run from the police. This
friend was Sheila and they later initiated a relationship. His foster parents were killed in an explosion
when a villain began destroying the city. This villain would later be discovered to be Drayor's greatest
enemy Shaytan. The death of his foster parents when he was 17, inspired him to become a defender of
the Earth and find a way to train his powers to get stronger.
3. Synopsis
• I plan to make a comic about a quarter-god named Drayor
who has had a very bad past yet still remains on the side of
good, however conflicted between his light and dark side
and the balance within himself is easily knocked.
• In this section of his long battle with the demonic Shaytan,
Drayor is outmatched and knows he cannot win without
potentially falling to darkness, but when his girlfriend Sheila
is murdered by the demon to make Shaytan feel more
alone and defeated than he already does, Shaytan will
become unbalanced, letting rage flow through him, which
is bad news for both him and Shaytan.
• I plan to achieve this by taking photos of my friends dressed
as these characters.
4. Main Villain (antagonist)
Name: Shaytan (The Lord of Death / The Wraith of Light/ The Dark Manifestation)
Age: Unknown
Powers: (next slide)
Weaknesses: Shaytan’s overwhelming power can make him cocky and sometimes doesn’t concentrate on his
enemy fully which can potentially lead to them gaining an advantage over him or leading him into a trap, or
landing an unexpected blow in a fight.
Personality: Shaytan is pure evil, he has no care for life or anything living, all he wants is to wipe out all life and
cover the universe in darkness, he enjoys to play with his enemies and make them wish they’d never been born
before finally killing them.
Background: Not much is known about Shaytan’s history, apart from the fact that he has sworn to cover the
universe in nothing but darkness, darkness that brings death to all things. He is nicknamed The Lord of Death
for his tendency to take life and make their skeletons into soldiers ready to fight in his armies, and for his rule
of the underworld.

6. Target Audience
• The age range for this comic is going to be 15 - 20.
• The main target audience will be males as there are more male
characters than females.
• This comic is for anyone who enjoy superhero comics, however it is a
darker superhero comic than most.
• This is a darker super hero comic so people who enjoy superhero
comics will enjoy these comics, with the exception of people who
prefer the light-hearted superhero comics.
• The reason this age demographic has been chosen, is because
although there will be light hearted moments, this comic will have
dark content such as murder and psychopathic villains which may be
scary for young children, but this age demographic will be fine
reading my comic and will enjoy it.
7. Publishing Company
• The company I would publish this comic with
is DC comics. This is because DC tend to have
a lot darker plots for superheroes than the
more light-hearted Marvel. The dark
superhero / anti-hero comic fits with the DC
genre. As they specialise in this kind of genre.
8. Legal and ethical Issues
• Copyright is an issue will have to look into, but since it will b my
own original piece I will have to make sure that I put copyright on
my comic so nobody can steal and profit off of my idea, or use it
without my permission.
• Liable and slander are issues I also need to consider. My work is
fictional, so it will not give off any false information and the
characters are my own creations and will be original to my comic,
so it is not aimed at anybody, which means nobody should take
offense to it.
• I will also need to consider the regulatory codes of both the CCA
(Comic Code Authority) and DC, since I want to publish my comic
with DC, and being the second biggest comic publishing company in
the world, will have their own regulatory codes. I will make sure
that the comic conforms to all the codes and make sure it is right
for my target audience in terms of content for he age demographic.
9. Representations
• There will be no bad representations in this
comic, and the main character is an
unstereotypical hero, so there will not be any
representation issues with my main character.
