Character development, universe building, and a story that can encapsulate you completely, expansive worldbuilding in the context of fictional stories has always deeply intrigued me. I believe that these stories, especially given the impressionable ages in which I was first consuming them, shaped not just a love for this expansive lore building but shaped me as a human being, as I did look up to many of these characters in such a real way.
In writing FLAME, I wanted to write a script that could encapsulate that same sensation that occurs when I think about the stories that shaped my childhood and that continue to influence me as an individual today. Starting with a story that began to formulate when I was sixteen years old, much of the names of the characters, the places, and the abilities have changed greatly. However, the fantastical powers and ideas have largely stayed the same. In writing this piece, I wanted to create a place to escape: a world with its own history, events, places, and characters. I wanted to make sure that these characters were as three-dimensional as I could make them. My hope is that for others, I could bring to life an entire world that has been living and evolving in my mind for the past decade.
