1. This is a story that I have running through my head almost everyday since who knows when. The concept is a story but I kind of want it to be a graphic novel but I haven't fully developed the characters yet. The story changes every time I think about it but the main premise is this:
There's a princess who runs away from her well guarded castle in defiance of her marriage arrangement from her father. She wanders out into the woods and get's snatched up by a band of thieves. The leader of these thieves happens to be cursed with a legendary werewolf beast inside of him. This curse allows him to heal himself, transform into a wolf, and on the full moons transform into a grueling bloodthirsty beast of the night. He keeps her in his custody until a large ransom is paid by her father who refuses to do so. Over the time he spends with her he must save her from peril from his own nemesis, the bandit king. In the process of saving her he turns into his werewolf form and almost kills her but quickly saves her with his own healing powers. Once this is done he develops feelings for her but must let her go . . . That's about the gist of my story so far. There's a lot of things in-between but that keeps getting changed to more a I think about it.
2. This a concept for maybe a video game or a graphic novel, either could work. It's sort of set in a world similar to Skyrim, the video game by Bethesda. The main premise is that all the men are going off to some sort of war to fight some sort of evil and they're all dying so it's up to the women to step it up and fight for their land and freedom. But there is no armor made for women so they are forced to use the reserves of armor specifically made for men as well as their weapons . . . this was in response to the armor they seem to stereotype for women, example being the bikini armor and fuzzy bras and what not.
3. This is a design concept I've had in my head for a while. It's a machine that you use to record your dreams and play them back after you wake up so you can remember what you dreamed. I know that some dreams shouldn't be relived but some you want to remember with more clarity so this design seemed like a plausible idea for the future . . . maybe . . .
4. This is a collaborative concept with my roommate and best friend that we've been thinking about for a little while. It started when my band teacher in high school misspelled my roommate's hometown Hiouchi as Houchi so I started calling her and her family Houchis or Houchians. Then it dawned on us that it sounded like some sort of tribe or wild group because they lived out in the redwoods and she called my family the flatlanders because we lived in a town down by the harbor away from the hills and trees. The main premise is that the flatlanders are a large group of international traders since they have access to the harbor so they can import and export goods. The Houchians are the tribesmen of the hills and redwoods and they trade with the flatlanders to get tools and weapons by selling furs, woods, and minerals. Soon some of the flatlanders start to move up into the Houchian's territory and claim it as their own, thus starting a civil war between the two groups. There are a few other outer groups such as the "horse people" who are nomads in the grass areas and they breed cattle and horses. Another outer group is the Smithies who are a knowledgeable people and have a college established in their area. There's an inside group in the flatlanders who are like Druids with their healing salves and herbs. They live on the outskirts of the flatlands . . . this concept is fun because it pertains to our little county of Del Norte County up in the way north of California, bordering Oregon.
5. Unfortunately I didn't have a fifth concept. Sorry . . . couldn't think of one.
