The World of Outcast Hero

One of the more inspiring pieces of advice to come out of Pixar's Twitter feed was to "Make stylistic choices that support your story, instead of ones that upstage it." For me, this meant simplifying a few aspects that most writers would see as adding realism to a multi-planetary tale. These being language and environment.

As a result, all species in the Outcast Hero universe share one language. Not out of a need for civilisations adapting, but simply because there had only ever been one language. Equally, the life-bearing planets in the Secchus system (the neighbouring solar system to Pricchus, the system containing Earth) have oxygen-based atmospheres.

Keeping these two concepts universal allows me to focus on the kind of diversity that is more important to OH as a movie - that of specie culture and biological makeup.

I'm still refining the structure of what makes the OHverse tick, and its both daunting and enjoyable at the same time. As other concepts are made certain, hopefully I can share more with you.
