This woefully Web-1.0 site contains text and a few images about Aether Torrent, my concept for an animated television program. It currently exists only as scripts, notations, and character illustrations. You will find it all to the left.

I started writing Aether Torrent in May of 2007 for the idle amusement of myself and my friends. Four and a half years and over a hundred thousand words later, I'm still refining it (with pauses for more gainful employment) because it is fun to do.

So, what's the show about?

Three (and later four) strangers meet and
travel across an island continent. Despite occasional personality clashes, they rely on each other for friendship, their respective goals, and defense against mutual enemies, which they have an unfortunate tendency to collect.

Magic exists in their world as a natural force -- all natural forces, in fact. Ordinary people wielding the proper tools can draw natural elements from the omnipresent aether and use them to supplement or even replace their early-20th-century technology. Such tools are uncommon, and treated warily by most of society.


Not by the traveling friends, however. Each one is an elementalist, and each must use his or her skills for the aid and defense of the others. Adventure, monsters, and occasional philosophy await them all.
