Hero Universe

Episode 1: The Birth of a Universe

Episode 1: The Birth of a Universe

The Dream Begins

Elijah Carter had always been obsessed with superheroes. Ever since he was a kid, he dreamed of creating his own superhero universe—a world filled with mighty heroes, fearsome villains, and epic battles that would inspire generations.

One evening, as he sat in his bedroom, flipping through old comic books, an idea struck him. “It’s time,” he whispered to himself. He stood up, filled with excitement, and walked out of his room with a mission: to build his own superhero universe.

Finding the Right Office

Elijah knew that a true universe needed a headquarters—a place where ideas could come to life. He pulled out his Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and started searching for office spaces nearby. After a few minutes of scrolling, he found the perfect place—a modern space downtown, big enough for a creative team, yet affordable enough for a startup.

"I need this," he said to himself.

A Moment of Reflection

As he stared at the listing, a wave of emotions hit him. "Oh my god… I wish Dad was alive." His father, who had passed away years ago, was his biggest supporter. He had always told Elijah to chase his dreams, no matter how big.

Wiping his eyes, Elijah shook his head. “I’ll do this. For him.”

The Hustle for Money

The office cost $120,000 to purchase outright or $2,500 per month for rent. Elijah didn’t have that kind of money—yet. He got to work, taking on freelance design jobs, selling collectible comics, and even launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund his vision.

Days turned into weeks, and finally, after countless sleepless nights, he had raised $50,000.

Still, it wasn’t enough.

A Mysterious Benefactor

The office owner, Mr. Leonard Kingsley, saw Elijah’s passion and determination. Instead of turning him away, he made an unexpected offer:

“I’ll give you the rest of the money—$70,000. No loans, no debt. Just promise me you’ll build something great.”

Elijah was stunned. “Why?”

Mr. Kingsley smiled. “Because I believe in dreamers.”

Building the Dream

With the money in hand, Elijah purchased the office space and immediately set out to buy supplies:

Desks, computers, and chairs for his future team

A massive whiteboard for brainstorming ideas

Comic book art to decorate the walls

A powerful PC for designing characters and stories

Standing in his brand-new office, surrounded by empty desks and endless possibilities, Elijah took a deep breath.

His universe was about to begin.

Episode 2: Building the Team

Getting the Right Equipment

Elijah knew that to bring his Titanverse to life, he needed professional tools. He went online and ordered:

A Green Screen – $200

A Blue Screen – $220

With these, he could create incredible superhero visuals, placing characters in any environment he imagined.

Finding the First Team Member

One evening, while scrolling through Instagram, Elijah stumbled upon an artist’s profile. The username was:

🔹 @MasonVGraphics

Profile Picture: A photo of Mason Valentine, sitting on a beach, working on a graphic design flyer on his laptop.

The First Animated Script Begins

Elijah and Marcus met in the Titanverse Office, sitting in a room filled with comic books, art boards, and brainstorming notes. They were about to write their first animated script.

Marcus pulled out a thick notebook and flipped through the pages. "Let’s build the first episode."

Elijah nodded. "This has to be legendary."

Writing the Script

Title: TITANVERSE - Episode 1: The Awakening

📜 Script Progression (Notes & Brainstorming):

🔹 Scene 1 – Mysterious Arrival

A meteor crashes outside New Arcadia City.

A young man named Dante Steele wakes up with superpowers.

His eyes glow blue as energy surges through him.

🔹 Scene 2 – First Conflict

A villain named Shadow Vex emerges.

The city is under attack. Dante struggles with his new abilities.

🔹 Scene 3 – The Call to Action

Dante meets a mysterious mentor who tells him he is part of something bigger.

He must make a choice: Run away or become a hero.

The Conversation (Elijah & Marcus Writing)

📖 Marcus: "Okay, we open with a meteor crashing. That’s the moment that changes everything."

📖 Elijah: "Yeah, but let’s make it more dramatic. Maybe lightning strikes the meteor, causing a weird reaction?"

📖 Marcus: "That’s sick! The impact releases a shockwave—Dante wakes up with powers but doesn’t understand them yet."

📖 Elijah: "Exactly. And Shadow Vex—our villain—he’s already been watching, waiting for something like this to happen."

📖 Marcus: "I love it. Dante tries to fight him but fails miserably. He doesn’t know how to control his powers yet."

📖 Elijah: "And boom—that’s when he meets the mentor. Someone who tells him the truth about his destiny."

📖 Marcus: "This is it. The first episode is coming to life."

They scribbled scene ideas, character dialogues, and episode structure onto a giant whiteboard.

Final Script Draft (Preview):

🔹 INT. NEW ARCADIA CITY – NIGHT

(The sky is dark. Thunder rumbles. A blazing meteor cuts through the clouds.)

🔹 EXT. CRASH SITE – MOMENTS LATER

(Dante Steele groggily opens his eyes. His hands glow with unstable energy. He looks around—his world has changed forever.)

🔹 DANTE (whispers): "What… happened to me?"

🔹 EXT. CITY SKYLINE – NIGHT

(Shadow Vex, cloaked in darkness, watches from a rooftop. His red eyes narrow.)

🔹 SHADOW VEX (smirking): "So… it has begun."

Next Steps

✅ Script drafted

✅ Animators ready

✅ Casting director looking for voice actors

Elijah grinned. Titanverse was officially on its way. 🚀

Do you want the voice actor auditions or animation process next? 😃

Episode 6: The Voice of Shadow Vex

Episode 6: The Voice of Shadow Vex

With the first script for Titanverse - Episode 1: The Awakening drafted and printed, Elijah and Marcus were ready to take the next step: finding the voices for their characters.

Elijah walked into the casting room with a stack of printed scripts. James Holloway, the casting director, was waiting with his laptop and notebook.

James and Elijah Talk

Elijah: "Alright, James. The script’s ready. We need to start casting voice actors, especially for Shadow Vex. He’s the villain—we need someone with a voice that’s deep, commanding, and chilling."

James: "Got it. Let me pull up some profiles. I know a few actors who’ve done work for animated series before. We can start with them."

James opened his laptop, pulling up his list of contacts and demo reels.

James: "Okay, here’s one guy I think might be perfect. His name is Damian Cross. He’s been in the industry for years. Did the voice for a sci-fi villain in ‘Galactic Wars.’"

Elijah: "Interesting. What’s his background?"

Damian Cross: The Voice of Shadow Vex

Name: Damian Cross

Age: 38

Background: Damian started his career as a theater actor, specializing in Shakespearean plays. His commanding stage presence and deep voice caught the attention of animation studios, and he transitioned into voice acting.

He’s known for voicing villains and antiheroes in:

"Galactic Wars" (Lord Kael)

"Mythic Realms" (Dark King Obsidian)

"Steel Faction" (General Titan)

Damian had a reputation for bringing depth and complexity to his villainous roles.

How They Got Him

James reached out to Damian’s agent with an email:

📧 Subject: Role Opportunity: Shadow Vex in Titanverse

*"Hi there,

My name is James Holloway, and I’m the casting director for an upcoming superhero animation series called Titanverse. We’re looking for a talented voice actor to play our main villain, Shadow Vex—a dark, commanding character with layers of complexity.

Based on Damian’s previous work, we think he’d be perfect for this role. We’d love to send over the script and set up an audition.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best,

James Holloway"*

The agent replied within a day:

📧 Agent:

*"Hi James,

The Audition

A week later, Damian joined a virtual audition with James and Elijah.

Elijah: "Damian, thank you for coming. We’re excited to hear you read for Shadow Vex."

Damian: "Thank you for considering me. I read the script, and I love the character. Let’s dive in."

📜 Scene: Shadow Vex’s Introduction

🔹 Context: Shadow Vex stands on a rooftop, watching chaos unfold below.

🔹 Lines:

"So... it begins. They think they can defy me? Foolish. This city will crumble beneath my power."

Damian’s voice was deep and menacing, with a slight growl that added an eerie quality. He delivered the lines with perfect timing, his tone dripping with confidence and malice.

The Reaction

Elijah and James were blown away.

Elijah (muted): "Dude, he IS Shadow Vex."

James: "I told you he’d be perfect."

After the audition:

James: "Damian, that was incredible. We’d love to have you as Shadow Vex."

Damian: "Thank you. I’m honored to join the Titanverse team."

Damian Joins Titanverse
