SWE #23 B.E.A.R.S. with Davence Young

Send us Fan Mail Embark with us and transmedia producer Davence Young as we explore the future of warfare and it’s hidden past in the B.E.A.R.S story world! Dragonesque Studios: B.E.A.R.S the Awakening takes place in the not-too-distant future where there is an arms race to create the super soldier. The year is 2120 and the world’s superpowers are actively trying to develop bio-engineered soldiers to guarantee their safety and effectively have phycological power over their rivals. Shadow Core, a piece of the US military, is the first to cross the finish line with the help of a mysterious crystal implanted into the soldier. In a gruesome process, six elite bio-engineered soldiers emerge and the formation of B.E.A.R.S is established. Each member has a different power given to them by the crystal and their roles on the team are reflected in the powers they posses. The first installment of the B.E.A.R.S. story world is a novel “The First Hygaurdian” which will be published soon. This is the story of Ashe, a “crypto-archologist” who is instrumental in discovering the crystal that created the B.E.A.R.S. It is through his dreams that he discovers his connection to an ancient people, the Atlanteans. We spoke about the world of B.E.A.R.S, crypto- archology, and the future iterations of this fascinating world. We suggested that Davence lean into his illustration talents in creating a weekly comic-strip-esc story surrounding crypto-archology to help build an audience for the world and his future larger projects.
