Description
OK, this is going to be REALLY LONG, so you can skip the stuff inbetween the lines if you want.Dendyn has always been a land of intriguing happenings and fierce conflict. The stories of many brave warriors and villains are born and reborn constantly with every era. The lagacies of the Dynasties of Dendyn continue to be told, EVEN 3000 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE!
Dendyn Futures is my latest spin-off from the original Dendyn Dynasties. It follows a totally new plot with a new set of characters. However, the HP of the original legends of Dendyn doesn't run thin through the generations. The souls of the original characters live on in their descendants, who once more will entangle fates just like in the days of old.
One thing hasn't changed much at all: Dendyn Futures is still all about crazy RPG-esque anthro action. However, this time around it's not just magic and sword fighting any more thanks to the inclusion of space-age weaponry and MECHS. Something I've never tried to animate before. Get ready for epic giant robot battles, furry style!
This is the first batch of characters. There are still more to come.
-------CHARACTERS-----------
Cyrus (middle): The main character of this story. Cyrus is a young Mech pilot and royal guard in training for the Canid Dynasty. He is an odd looking fox with feathery, clumpy fur. Cyrus has an eager and zippy personality, always wanting to jump headfirst into his missions. Unfortunately, he has a phobia of the Mechs, and often loses his cool when placed in a cockpit. His Mech, the "Vulpine Star", is a heavy-duty fighting machine built for speed. However, since he hates using it, he hasn't created a moveset for it and doesn't understand its full capacity. Cyrus prefers to fight his enemies hand-to-hand with his laser sword. Besides being a fierce and savage opponent, he prefers not to kill his enemies when possible. He's one of the few in his family line to inherit the legendary "Quicktoe" ability, a power that allows him to move at mach speeds for short bursts.
Rodrick: a flying talking onion who accompanies Cyrus as a mentor. Cyrus considers him to be stuffy and boring, and rarely listens to his sound advice. However, this is just as well, as Rodrick is often wrong about things, especially when it comes to fighting. He is quite distinguished for an onion, or any vegetable for that matter.
Marcie: (to Cyrus's right) Considered to be the greatest gun fighter who ever lived, Marcie was critically wounded by a particle energy leak early in her training as a royal guard and most of her body had to be replaced with machinery. Even so, she has a cheerful and cheeky nature, and thanks to an assortment of mechanical parts, has the fighting ability to stand up to small Mechs on her own. She treats guns as if they were living creatures, much to the annoyance of her peers.
Rinna: (sitting on Cyrus' left) She's an achieved Mech Pilot, although she's never used a combat Mech before. Her Mech, the "Nightingale", is a healing machine designed to support the fighters. She's shy, but has surprising elemental magical power behind her small frame.
Keel: (to the right of Riia) Keel is a guest mechanic who works from the Viverrid Dynasties' army in relations with the Canid Dynasty. He knows everything there is to know about engines and Mech parts, but has trouble understanding other people and dislikes carrying conversations. This could be due to the fact that he has an assortment of worrying habits and quirks. Because he's trying to quit smoking, he often thoughtlessly puts small objects into his mouth, including work tools. Despite this, he's more open with Cyrus than many others, and often tries to teach him about the Mechs. He also has mild ability in light magic. Just enough power to jump start the machines in some cases. Keel is semi-nocturnal and can often be found at bars and clubs late at night.
Yoma: (furthest right) a dragon girl who aspires to be a pop star, even though she's also a champion martial artist skilled in the art of Niranjitsu. It's even said that she comes from the same family line that started the Niranjitsu martial art form. She is heavily idolized by Cyrus for her fighting technique rather than her singing, which annoys her. Even so, she becomes one of his best friends after he saves her life. She appears to be dating a hotshot mercenary mech pilot, even though his mech seems to be unregistered...
Jasper: (furthest left) Jasper is the Canid Dynasty's ace operative. As a skunk, he was originally allied to the Mustelid Dynasty, but changed his name and location to avoid being traced by the Mustelid FBI. His small size and young age betray his skill and intelligence. He commissions Cyrus and Marcie to aid him. Cyrus doesn't always agree with his unorthodox methods and the two of them often quarrel. In combat, Jasper uses gloves and boots which are essentially micro-Mechs. These also come in handy for picking locks and tracing fingerprints.
Nile: (the big dude) a traveller from the far off country of Pheroa. Despite his appearance and huge build, Nile is fun-loving and has a dry sense of humor. He is actually seeking employment in the Canid Dynasty to help strengthen ties between Pheroa and the Dynasty league, and ends up becoming Jasper's bodyguard. Because of his strength and buddy-buddy attitude, Nile often hurts people while trying to be friendly. In combat, he uses a special magnet-staff with individual links that can be controlled through magnetism. This kind of weapon takes great skill to wield, so Cyrus is very much in respect of Nile's fighting ability.
-----------------------
Now normally I wouldn't bother to have created this, BUT, I'm afraid that after watching this anime: [link] I just couldn't help myelf.
Seriosly, this was made by the same guys who make FLCL. It's the ONLY giant mecha robot drama anime I've ever liked. It kicks ASS. I was SO inspired by the animation style. Go watch it. NOW.

I noticed some of the characters look similar to the ones in Dendyn Dynasties, and it made me wonder... are you keeping your original story and making this a sequal or are you replaceing it with this one?

Ryanide In reply to kid-cody [2007-07-10 01:20:55 +0000 UTC]
Both stories are totally separate. I'll be working on developing the story for both of them rather than quitting one and taking up the other.

Cool! Although you might wanna do something with Dendyn Dynasties before you start messing around with this idea. Stories can get in the way, but I guess it's not really TOO hard to make everything fit. Y'know what? Disregard that. Point is, I'm sure this'll be awesome, one way or another.
P.S. Cyrus was very nicely drawn! Good job!

I still don't quite understand how an unfinished saga can have a sequel. Quite frankly, it doesn't matter anymore. This looks very promising.
Are the "mechs" the same as the ones in TTGL? Or...just robots of some kind?

Ryanide In reply to Kal-aMari [2007-07-10 01:22:17 +0000 UTC]
Well consider this a spin-off rather than a true sequel. A true sequel would be Dendyn Dynasties 2.
And the Mechs (for want of a better name) look like Gundams, only mainly modeled after animals.

When are you actually going to update the orginal dendyn dynasties? What I do is when I have multiple things to do, I finish one thing, and move on to the next. By the way, Nice artwork. A lot of the characters look similar to the dendyn characters.

Wow, that was pretty long but reading is always worth it. I've got a decent understanding of your characters now. I like how some of them have little habits like Keel putting stuff in his mouth and how Rodrick (the most original character here, in my opinion!! Who ever thought of a flying talking onion??) usually gets his advice wrong.
Great characters, I look foreard to seeing them again in the future.

You're kidding, you're bringing MECHS into this? X"D Too much win, dude, too much win!
And I love the character lineup here. Though I must say my favorite would either have to be Keel due to him always putting something in his mouth, or Yoma because she's just so dang adorable-looking. XD
Great work, dude!
And also, I took a look at the video thinger you put up, and ahahaha, I'm hooked now. =w=;
It looks like Gundam, but with that FLCL touch in combat and look, I'm addicted already. XD; I can see where you got the inspiration.

Mecha isn't as hard to animate as I would have thought. The hardest part is keeping track of all the lines and surfaces, but besides that, it's not much different to animating a normal character.

I know the feeling. XD
That motion tweening version without lines that you taught me, is extra hard with 'Mechs when the majority of the body is one color. XD;
By the way,
I watched the anime you got your inspiration from. It's absolutely hilarious, and the concept behind it is awesome! I'm hooked! How on earth did you find this anime, dude?
