Here’s my concept for a possible indie cartoon!

”The Ghost of Eclipse City”

“In the not so far future, the year is 2078, Earth had developed an 8th continent named “Goumine”, scientists have managed to find life outside of earth, and humans found a new power source, transferring photosynthesis to energy without doing any harm to the ecosystem! (Yet still no flying cars -_-) 14 year old Haunt-O-Spook Ghastly navigates life on Earth and learns to be human when trying to protect the city from an evil anaconda king.”

Characters:

Ghastly Wayver: The 14 year old (in human years) Protagonist. A nerdy, sweet, energetic, ghost alien who came to earth as one of the protectors. She’s assigned along with 29 other Haunt-O-Spooks to Earth to study it.

Elio and Atlas (Stagename, Soli & Luni) Suarez-Murphy: The other protagonists; A pair of 16 year old Cuban-American conjoined brothers who want to become singers! Whereas Soli is lively and a bit of a jokester, where Luni is more shy and deadpan.

Suzi Campbell: A 28-Year Old, Scottish, loud and proud bodybuilder who works as a waitress at a fast food place that the team likes to go to. Deep down, she feels like she’s being to harsh on her friends, and tries to be more gentle.

Aleks Chang: A 11-Year Old Chinese-British boy. With his special amulet, he is able to turn into a dragon. He’s polite and cheerful, although a bit impusive.

Noel Elliot: A 13 1/2 year old southern girl who’s family recent moved into the city. While she is lazy and pessimistic, she still likes her team, and wants to fight with them.

Savannah Hassan: An 26-Year Old Egyptian, Genderfluid, Rebellious punk rocker who, out of Ghastly’s entire friendgroup, is the least heroic, as they sometimes bully Ghastly. Deep down, they still care about the squad. It’s been rumored that their harsh nature sprouted from family drama back home.

Ben Wilson: 37 Years old, and with a loving husband, he serves as the overall parental figure in Ghastly’s group, who’s also the music teacher at Eclipse City’s high school! He’s a British man who’s loving, disciplinary, and supportive of the kiddos.

Mayor Maynot: The Mayor of Eclipse City. He cares about the city, although he is a bit strict and misunderstanding of the citizens. He’s quite suspicious of Ghastly and the Hauntonian race as a wholel

King Ophiuchus: The Main antagonist of the show, an anthropomorphic anaconda hellbent on destroying the city and turning it into a battle fortress. He‘s cruel, sinister, and intimidating.

Val Glumdread: One of Ophiuchus’ main cronies. A trans male, constantly tired and snarky mage who‘s very unenthusiastic about his job. Especially since he constantly gets scolded and punished by his boss.

Kion of Argopolis: The other of Ophiuchus’ main cronies. He’s a brash, vain, and arrogant knight who came from a long line of Fencers. Dubbed, ‘The Golden Knight’, he takes immense pride in being Ophiuchus’ favorite, and takes the opportunity to brag about it to Val when the time is right.

I want the show to be a homage to Vaporwave, 2000s UPA revival cartoons, and old Cartoon Network shows. I’ve been working on this since 2021, and with Indie animation day coming soon, I thought I‘d share this with everyone here!

UPDATED LORE: In a bustling, music filled City called the Synthetic Metro, there lives a small group of small, independent musicians. One of the most well-known of them is Asterian, a classically trained singer and streamer. He's known for his songs, covers, and livestreams, alongside his colleagues' help and praise. Asterian wasn't a conformity kind of guy, he knows what he likes, but is willing to try something new. One day, he decides too post a cover of a song by M & T. M & T are a pair of super famous idols in the Metro; although not very nice ones. They stumble across Asterian's cover, and they mistake it as him trying to copy them, outfit in all. (The outfit was meant to be a cosplay) The two then come into the musicians' place to meet Asterian, face to face. The two are suspicious of him, and his playful sass pisses them off. In the end, after a serious confrontation, a deal is made, as long as they do them and they let he do him, there's no problem, and he's happy. The two then begin to think "Are we starting to like him?"

Both M & T are both Morally Grey. Like, Dandy morally grey. They have done some bad stuff, but they genuinely regret it. T is more impulsive and tends to jump to conclusions more than M; whereas M is more prideful and tends to think things out more.

As for some of the cast in the MV, I wanted some of the employees of M & T's corporation to be vocal synths that are popular.

M: The Kagamines, Luka, Kaito, Meiko, Gumi, Flower, IA

T: Yi Xi, Kevin, Solaria, Yuma, Mai, Natalie, Feng Yi

And for Asterian's collegues: Iroha, Lily, Jun, Kiyoteru, the ZOLA project (Wil, Kyo and Yuu)
