KURTIS GAME – SYNOPSIS V2

Read another version

The place is New York city – a rain soaked night time metropolis on the eastern seaboard of the United States of America.

Home to thirty million citizens. And Kurtis Trent, Bounty Hunter.

With his military training in weapons and hand to hand combat Kurtis is just about the best man hunter the city has ever seen – and he knows it.

Then one night everything changes – the hunt turns into a battle against the forces of evil, and even Kurtis has to look elsewhere for answers.

Those answers will come from Professor Edward Francis – paranormal expert, occult scientist and one time demon hunter.

The old man will become Kurtis’ teacher and guide into the paranormal underworld of New York city.

A journey where Kurtis’ search for his ancestral powers will lead him into the very gateways of hell itself.

As master and pupil fight outbreaks of demonic infestation they begin to see evidence of a master plan at work.

All the signs point to the ritual alignment of the Time Vortex, a phenomena that happens every thousand years but this time it’s happening right over New York city!

According to the Professor, when the vortex opens it will create an inter-dimensional super highway between our reality and the demon dimensions – and plunge our world into an eternal darkness.

In short – Armageddon.

Kurtis knows that the only way he will become strong enough to face the challenges ahead is to become a true Knight of the order of Lux Veritatis.

Every one of his many powers must be found and mastered while all the time progressing further into the demonic underworld of the city.

He will have to defeat not only the demons but their half-breed spawn, sub-human followers of the dark side and the heirs to a post-Armageddon earth.

And as if saving the world isn’t enough trouble, a shadowy government agency is tracking Kurtis for their paranormal weapons program and will stop at nothing to trap him!

Just as the stage is set for the final confrontation, Kurtis is betrayed and his powers used to open the Time Vortex. What happens next is up to you …

KURTIS GAME – HOW IT STARTS

Cut scene – start.

The game opens in a seedy bar.

A noisy mob crowd around a makeshift boxing ring.

Inside the rope Kurtis Trent fights a savage bare knuckle battle for money.

Cut scene –end.

Game – start.

Play Kurtis in the fight.

Win fight.

Game – end.

Cut scene – start.

He wins and the crowd splits up, drifting out into the night.

Kurtis walks over to the bar owner and collects his prize money.

The bar owner pushes a drink across the table top and congratulates Kurtis on his skill in the ring. He says a friend would like to meet him.

Kurtis declines the invitation, swallows the whisky in one gulp and turns to leave.

He exits the bar and stands outside in the alley. It is dark and raining.

He sets off but starts to feel dizzy. His vision blurs and he leans against a wall for support, gasping for breath.

A car drives up slowly from behind, headlights glaring.

As Kurtis turns to look behind him he is struck over the back of the head. He collapses, unconscious.

Two men drag his inert body to the car and throw him in the back.

The car drives off into the night.

Fade up from black.

Kurtis is lying on the floor. He gets to his feet and looks around.

He walks to the bars in front of him and realizes that he is in a cell.

Cut scene – end.

Game – start.

Lara Croft and Kurtis Trent

I was the first Tomb Raider fan to ever produce a 3D render with Lara and Kurtis Trent. This was back in 2006ish and my skills greatly improved  since then, or at least I hope so.
Therefore, I am “remastering” a few of my old renders. This one was brought to my attention on my website the other day.

We continue to publish exclusive Angel of Darkness documents from Murti Schofield, the writer of the game. This one reveals more details about Eckhardt

ECKHARDT AND BREEDING

KURTIS & LARA AS PRODUCTS OF ECK’S BREEDING COMMUNITIES (?).

1. The long term story arc for both     Kurtis and Lara would be fascinating to explore if they were the     contemporary results of some obscure branch of Eckhardt’s breeding     community experiments from the 1300s onwards. It would explain some of     their outstanding qualities and drives.
2. Obviously the Lux Veritatis     and other family trees could believably have ties with improved bloodlines     branching off from Eckhardt’s improved humans experimentation.
3. I’ve long felt that some deep     shadowy part of Lara’s past, as yet undisclosed, might link her to some     ancient historic forces that have been battling in the shadows of mythic     & recorded history. She might be more deeply tied into the ancient and     archaic world than has ever been hinted at before. And that, of course,     was the starting point of AOD, taking Cappadocian angelic myths and the     idea of ancient beings. But what if the links to her own genetic past (and     that of Kurtis) were to be explored.
4. After returning from his meeting     with the Nephilim in 1345 with the promise of 100x years of extended     life he forged ahead in his attempt to create a Nephuman bloodline     capable of becoming incubation vessels for the emergence of the     neo-Nephilim. Many improvements were bred into his human stock. Strength     and cognitive abilities would be enhanced as well as many other desirable     human traits.
5. Once the ‘improved’ human stock     began to exhibit stable signs of endurance and vigour Eckhardt would     introduce sample individuals into the population at large to ‘seed’ a     wider genetic pool. The development and improvement of such seeded     bloodlines would be closely monitored and selected individuals exhibiting     the qualities he sought would be reintroduced back into his more closely     controlled breeder communities. This would more rapidly enhance and     advance his genetic pool, his ‘…crucible for the flux of vitality and     transcendent celestial potential.’
6. Generations on there would be extraordinary     individuals appearing in the world at large but it would be almost     impossible to keep track of every emergent exemplar. The Lux Veritatis     would be constantly on the look out to recruit families with outstanding     abilities or potential as warrior mystics.  They would watch and nurture any specials     and Kurtis’ family tree could be one of these promising branches, a     line traced back to one of these ‘lost’ Eckhardt breeder-batches.
7. Lara too could easily be a     twentieth century product of a family line with roots deep in the dark days     of medieval genetic transmogrification. There would be a certain     cosmic irony there.
8. The coming together of Lara and     Kurtis in Paris could have been chance or possibly the culmination of     circumstances manipulated from the shadows regions by an ancient agency of     a malignant and undying force. To be explored…!

NB Reference Philip Jose Farmer’s Wold Newton Universe where he creates a common point of origin, a bllodline, for such eternals as Tarzan, Doc Savage, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Nathanial Bumpo (Hawkeye of Last of the Mohicans), Dr Syn, Bulldog Drummond, Sherlock Holmes, The Spider, James Bond et al. Also Warren Ellis’ Planetary for reinterpreted & revitalised heroes of yore.

FURTHER TO THE FOLLOW ON GAME:

1. Explore the bloodline of new     character Morgau Vasiley, daughter of the renegade LV Mathias     Vasiley as a part initiate into LV skills and know how. She will have gone     to the dark side and can go head to head with Kurtis wielding similar     weaponry and abilities in ding-dong smash ups! Yeah! Reference document on     alternate LV Chirugai-like weapons.
2. See document on revised last     meeting between Lara, Kurtis and Karel at the end of AOD. As a kick     off for game II this is one of those, ‘Oh, so you think you know what     happened at the end of AOD huh! Well…get THIS!’ For a precedent, see how     the third Bourne film fits almost completely into the tiny gap between     Bourne’s leaving the rail station in Moscow and turning up in New York to     have it out with Jessica Landy.

Clearly this all needs more thinking about and some timelines drawing up but the depth it gives to both L and K promises many exciting & worthwhile story possibilities.

Anyways, about the final images

One represents how I come from a shithole country, where photography is not permitted, to the UK, where I succeed in photography and even get published.

Another one shows how I used music in order to protect myself from the verbal abuse.

And last one shows how much I am into technology, Tomb Raider and Resident Evil
