Welcome to our very first post of sept--
Throughout these post, I kind of want to address some world building, Plans for the future and sorta do some story telling. These post are much more longer and can be seen as a Directors cut / BTS for the project or similar to Project updates with a great mass of details. I'm hoping you like these types of post and even chime in on what you'd like to see, what you'd add to the world, character , etc./ add Suggestion like tv shows, music, etc. or how you feel over all. Please enjoy!
So just to start off, I'd like to give you all an Idea of the vibe, aesthetic and over plot within HEY! Caleb--- a few things I'd like to embody for this series is that Two Worlds Colliding, with a twist of misunderstanding and a heavy underworld, spiritual perspective. I really love the idea of creating this shock value, horror or unsettling feeling about Heaven and Hell with my audience. If you haven't seen the CW original " Super Natural " or even HBO's "True blood" (All the way through), These two shows really embody that shock or curiosity/Mind bending concepts about what is truly Evil or good--- is it a "balance" we over hype to a create divide a between purity and darkness? This is quickly introduced with the parents of Caleb and Anais, Abel and Lilith. Both meeting under similar circumstance-- with each hoping to find a bit more clarity in the decisions that are to be made soon in their path. These two bond over this and the stars, as it's clear there's feeling and a urge to continue what was going on that night. Abel is a just a regular human hoping to make the right decision and not necessary walk into the path his mother seen for him. Abel's mother and the girls abuela, is a well known neighborhood Curandera, who often warns her son about his fate. With their family line having a very close connection to a well known deity within the culture, abuela is concern that Abel is destined for a lot of heart ache, a tragic demise and vengeance. { I would also like to preference, No real Deities will be mentioned in the story for respect to the cultures. However, the research about the gods, practices and traditions will be made for some accuracy and easter eggs}.
Lilith on the other hand, is a Second Command High Ranked Mage and Grand Formless Duchess that will soon be up in line to rule the second wave of mages, Knights and counts for circle (2) within the inferno . She is being task to collect her ranks stats on each circle in order to be crowned . Lilith is some what a demi god/ demon mix that is following orders and the ideologies of her mother. Someone she looks up to but, one with strict morals, principles and dated ideology. Now for the series, I'm really looking forward to similar characteristic and perspective as the Super Natural series. The idea of the of angels being more similar to a personalities outside of the concept we have of them is one that in inspired by the show and others. Closely portraying the (7) sins or the 9 floors of the hell -- as both separate races, , entities, classes and hierarchies are responsible for the ruling of the inferno and heaven. These characteristics are also very similar to the anime, " Full metal alchemist." Now hopefully you're familiar with the antagonist within the series-- they would closely resemble the 7 Sins throughout and cause mayhem. I also love the portrayal of this concept being done in other anime's that more closely portrays my plans for the series like, High rise invasion and Platinum end. These anime's have themes of god and a search for a new one. Another show I adored and hope to add theme elements from is Netflix " Uncanny Counter." a K- drama that mainly focus on the individuals undercover as noodle shop owners, who use special abilities to chase down malevolent spirits/ demons that prey and use humans a vessels to terrorize .
Now for the most part the understand of cosmic, spiritual, paranormal , etc concepts to the humans of the world is obviously one that is very similar to what we understand ourselves. It's not as well known about the system that is ran or even what is really going on. So as for the misunderstand-- most of them are caused by the ignorance and hope that what is being taught and said is actually is true. Caleb who would be living with he abuela is, a bit more aware in sense about all that is unknown due her cat, and abuela.
Reminder : For each post, ill do my best to connect and make sense of each character and their role so there isn't any confusion along the way-- But for now, this post focuses on the introducing of some conflict, systems , characteristic relations and Some Character relations as well.
While sister Anais, is with her mother learn and following the foot steps of her mother who was unable to continue her duties as High Rank, Grand Formless duchess. Neither sister is aware of each other or what is really going on on earth or in the inferno. Only time will tell if these sister will reunite and solve one of the darkest mysteries that would hunt them both. Other ideas are inspired by the 1976 classic , The Omen. with so much darkness within my concept, I really want an element of comedy to shine-- as I myself is a suck for a laugh. I prefer comedies over actions, thrillers and dramas. So though Il be doing my best to add these notes of seriousness, It's never been this thing for me to be serious. Though in other series I'm working on like my Welding INX and Wisp to Rainbowland will be a bit more light hearted and probably filled with much more funnier moments; that is something I have to have in my projects.
