Adroit Comics, Eboni Stone

Eboni Stone is a complicated lady. At first glance she might look like just another pretty face. But Mrs. Stone comes with many unexpected layers. She’s a lady who’s life has been far from smooth, and anything but easy. From her early years on the Capital City Police Force, to becoming an undercover private eye, and now novice protector of the realm — she’s seen more ups and downs than she cares to count.

“How did I get here?” is a question that rings out in her mind, more often than not. Every once in awhile, when she finds a rare, quiet moment, Eboni reflects on her past. She gives the deepest of thought to the whys and hows of her life. Unfortunately, she’s yet to find truly satisfying answers. All she can do is her best to make things better.

Never in a million years did she think her life would be like this. Since she’d met Max, Pops and Likka, her life had become surreal. Filled with top secret royal conspiracies and super powered humans hailing from ancient bloodlines, its like something out of the tabloids.

Back in the day, she and her husband would argue over whether Adroits were real.
He believed. She didn’t. Boy oh boy would he have been excited to say “I told you so!” Her parents had spoken of ancient family legacies, but only in passing. It
had all sounded like children’s stories as far as she was concerned. Dennis had always been more open-minded than she was. Oh, how she missed him. There wasn’t a day that went by without her thinking of his laugh.

It had been five years now. Though the pangs of loss had softened, they had not gone anywhere. But alas, there was much work to do, and Eboni Stone has never walked away from a challenge. Investigating her husband’s death was tough one for her. The answers she found weren’t pretty. However, she soon realized that investigation was leading somewhere she wasn’t ready to go . . . At least not yet.

Nowadays, Mrs. Stone is a private investigator working to help local folks who need her help. But now, things are getting crazier than she could have imagined. As someone who didn’t believe in all that Adroit hoopla, she’s certainly all in now. As the official guardian of her niece and nephew, she has no choice but to believe. The disappearance of their parents came as a shock to everyone. Now, Eboni is working to keep them safe. . . and get enough clients to keep the bills paid.

Everyday her to do list grows longer. But she’s focused. The twins need her guidance and help finding their parents. Pops and Likka are training her to be as strong as possible, while Max needs her friendship and a partner on his undercover missions. And now she’s somehow gotten sucked into an unending trail of conspiracies. That’s unfortunate for the bad guys because Eboni Stone can’t stop until her case is solved.

Dear Shavonne Thompson,

I think the mayor is a joke. That’s right I said it. He’s a downright laughable, unbelievably ineffective, bumbling idiot of a leader. My mother always told me that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. I’ve tried to live by that adage, but today, I simply cannot keep my lips sealed.

How in the world does this fella think that spending more money is going to somehow magically balance the budget? I mean he’s spending big cash on everything from road development, to new hospitals, libraries, you name it, he’s spending it. I even heard some crazy cockamamie investment in inter-dimensional travel?! What’s that all about?

There are hardworking people out here struggling to pay their bills and feed their families. But the guys in charge would rather spend money on ridiculous contraptions to explore parallel worlds? What’s next? Research in unicorns and fairies? What about talking cats and dwarfs? I tell you things are getting real looney out here and I want no parts of it! You hear me?

Sure, I know, everyone wants the city to be the best it can be. And that takes money. I understand that everyone wants to see the city grow. Well, almost everyone. I personally don’t mind the growth slowing down a bit. I’d like to see us grow at a sustainable rate. Anything that grows too quickly, without a solid foundation, is bound to crumble and fall.

That’s the truth, and I outta know a thing or two about it. I’ve been a contractor for over thirty five years now. The only way to build something solid, is to ensure that it has a secure foundation. And that’s what Capital City needs.

I have no desire to live in the “Biggest City in the World” or “The Best City in the World.” I simply want my hometown to remain a safe community for my children, their children and future generations. The only way we can do that is to vote this buffoon out of office.

If you’re tired of the reckless spending and total lack of effective leadership, remember to show up at the polls and vote old man Johnson out!

In Utter Frustration,
A Disgruntled Patriot

Ron Maroon – Business Editor

 

It’s that time of year again.

The Capital City International Business League has announced the entrepreneur of the year. Annually, this league of business men and women convene to vote one on the individual who has both contributed and accomplished the most over the previous fiscal year.

It should come as no surprise that Retired Royal General Donovan Vonderdom has won the award. This would be his sixth win since the league was founded only ten years ago. That’s quite a streak! Though there are many who might feel his popularity is due to his being the Founding President of the CCIBL, one cannot deny Vonderdom’s business acumen.

Royal General Donovan Vonderdom

Year after year, The Vonderdom corporation boasts exponential growth of which most entrepreneurs could only dream. The General has ensured that his corporations are diverse, forward thinking and effective in everything they do. And let’s not forget his tremendous philanthropic efforts, both locally in Capital City, across the nation of New Sienna, and beyond our borders, in the lands of Keyosha and Galatia, as well as his family’s homeland of Arkton.

His flawless military career undoubtedly was a great contributor to his current successes. In the history of New Sienna, as we know it, there has never been a more powerful, influential, or successful person.

When asked about his 6th win as “Business Man of The Year,” he had this to say:

“My family’s patriarch, Dorian Vonderdäm, was one of the founding fathers of our great nation. He is one of my inspirations, and it’s always been my goal to be make him proud. When faced with a difficult decision, I’ve often asked myself, ‘What would Dorian decide?’ The answer that follows has always been deliberate, even if some might have considered it ruthless. But what can I say, all is fair in war and business.”

We also asked Vonderdom how he felt about the future of The Vonderdom Corporation and its holdings.

“I feel very confident about our continued growth into the near future and beyond. The future of our company depends on great thinkers and ferocious spirits. Not just mine, but the brilliant and highly motivated, young minds that are coming up through our ranks.”

On a final note, We queried Vonderdom about his feelings on the recent string of robberies hitting his family bank. The General was uncharacteristically silent on the matter. It seems that was a sore spot for him, and understandably so. The loss of over 2.3 Million Dolaars is no small situation. We’ll keep our eyes open in anticipation of how this all plays out.

How will the six time Business Man of the Year rebound from such a loss?
Only time will tell.

A huge congratulations and giant “Hip, Hip, Hooray!” are in order for the New Arkton Bears. It’s an exciting day as they celebrate one of their newest players making a tremendous accomplishment.

“You know, it’s not every day that a player bats .400,” said the New Arkton manager, Will Hillard. “Hayes had a great season last year. But we had no idea he’d be this big of a deal. The great thing is, he’s only going to get better!”

Compared to many Royal Baseball League stars, Bucky could still be considered a rookie. He’s only in his second year as a professional player, but at the age of 21, Bucky Hayes has already proven himself as an elite performer.

This rare .411 batting average on the season has put the New Arkton Bears star into a special group of players.

“I’ve really never seen anything like this Hayes kid. He hits harder and runs faster than any player I’ve ever seen. And it’s like he doesn’t even break a sweat. Oh, the Bucky knows he’s one of the best. But he’s not arrogant in the least. The fans and his teammates love him. Who could ask for more?” Hillard commented to reporters.

It will be hard to improve on a campaign that saw the center fielder stroke 232 hits, with 26 doubles, 15 triples, 56 home runs, 182 RBIs, and 191 runs scored.

“I definitely never expected to hit .411 this year, that’s for sure,” Hayes said, “But I sure wouldn’t change it, not for the world. I’ve always dreamed of being a baseball player. Now I’m blessed o go down in history as one of the greats!”

adroit [ə-droit′]

quick and skillful in body or mind, deft.
ingenious; ready in invention or execution; possessing readiness of resource.
a human being possessing special or unique qualities that stand out from the norm.

The Adroit Comics Universe exists in a realm far, far away from Earth. In our world, it was once common knowledge that people with special powers existed. There are countless myths and legends about adroit humans with abilities far beyond the understanding of most. Though modern times have found the knowledge of Adroits suppressed, we know the truth. This world is far more advanced and complex that the powers-that-be would have you believe.

How could they have you believe that you could possibly posses the power to fly, or run faster that the speed of sound? How could they ever control the minds of humanity, if we only grasped the strength and untapped power that had been granted to us by The Creator of All?
If the unique, unknowing Adroits could all realize their true powers . . . who could stop them? Certainly not the powers of darkness.

It is in the realm of Nuzar’Eil that our stories take place. A world full of the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak, the natural and the supernatural, the good and the evil. Just as on Earth, there are powers of darkness working to extinguish The Eternal Light that shines through all of Creation. It is a fight that has lasted the ages. However Light always has, and always will banish Darkness.

The evildoers of our world are motivated by a number of factors: greed, power, revenge and abandonment issues to name a few. There are even those who deal with their own twisted versions of reality, in which they are the supreme power. Fueled by Chaos, these beings have dedicated their lives to to getting what they want . . . at any cost.

Our champions are seemingly simple people, who have come to live complicated lives. Their powers manifest in different ways, and at different times. But each and every warrior has their own special story to tell. No matter who they are, or where they hail from, they are fighting to help save the world from the clutches of Darkness.

Welcome to the Adroit Comics Universe! Built on ancient foundations and propelled into the future of politics, technology and innovation, we’re creating a world where you can feel free to cheer for the good guys and boo the bad guys. We want this to be a place where you can be inspired to discover your own Adroit powers.

May the powers of Light guide your path and forever protect you from the powers of chaos and darkness. May the words and images that lie within our pages be a beacon of hope, and a reminder, that when its all said and done, the good guys win.

Adroit Comics, National Government, New Sienna, Nu’ZarEil

The year is 3073 in a land not so different from our own. The world of Nu’ZarEil is on the brink of another Great War. For decades The World Alliance has seemingly been on one accord, to promote peace and cooperative works amongst its members. However, as is so often the case, there are those parties who would rather benefit themselves than the greater good of all. To people like this, personal gain is the greatest good.

The Great War of 3033, changed the political boundaries of the entire plane, with the most powerful nations claiming territories across the world. When this happened, many of the now conquered territories prayed and planned for the day when they would fight for their independence. For many of these people, that day has arrived.

The Royals of New Sienna have territories across the world, on top of the districts they have claimed as their own over the centuries. There are many citizens of New Sienna, and the world, for that matter, who question the Royals families’ entitlement to their rule. The Royals’ position of rulership has always been a source of contention, especially with the ancestors of the original ruling family. They would say that these “so-called-royals” have no authority whatsoever.

The Federation of The Royal Indigenous Clan was founded by Monroe Sallamalan, in an effort to establish the rightful rulership to the tribe of Salamalan. It is the FRIC’s position, that the modern royal families usurped the throne from his families ancestors in an illegal and highly unethical fashion. It is their goal to see the Salamalan family reinstated as the true rulers of New Sienna.

Most citizens of New Sienna are unmoved by FRIC’s fight. Right now everyone is worried about the possibility of a second Great War. The casualties from The Great War were tremendous, and it’s not as though that was the last war on record to take the lives of soldiers and civilians alike. However the youth of New Sienna are adamantly against this war, and they are protesting across the nation.

The Youth Party of New Sienna has rallied together, taking up the banner to speak for the young citizens who seemingly have no voice. They have made their position clear, “No Draft! No War! No more innocent lives lost.” “How can the lives of this great nation’s youth be pledged to give their lives in a war launched by the elders? Is this fair? Is this right?”

The rumbles of war are shaking up the world. The Nation of New Sienna is brewing with unrest, and its Capital City is no exception. The metropolis of Capital City is bright, shiny, big and exciting. Everything anyone could ever look for in a city. Including all of the ills that ail huge populations crammed into small areas of land. With a population over 8.3 Million, trouble is definitely on the rise.

What was once a simple settlement of Indigenous farmers and fisherman, has now become one of the largest cities in the world. And it certainly has not been spared from all the troubles that come along with such a distinction.

Criminals are thriving. Crooked politicians are manipulating the masses. The dissension of the citizens is growing and growing with each new day. The good people of the city have been working and praying to see a change in their home. Little do they know, their prayers have been heard by The Heavens above.

As of late, there is another phenomena popping up in Capital City: Super Powered Humans, also known as Adroits. For centuries there have been legends of people with special powers, granted by Divinity, to protect the world from darkness. However, most of modern society has brushed those stories off as nothing but fantasy or fairy tales. But soon and very soon, all truth will be revealed.

But times, they are a changing! Reports of Adroit sightings are on the rise, both good and bad. From rescuing folks in crashed cars, to robbing banks and burning down buildings, they’ve been reported all over the place, and it’s making people nervous.

“Are they here to help? Or hurt?” This is the question on so many people’s minds.

To deal with the threat, the Capital City Police Department has created a new Special Adroits Unit. They’ve taken some of their best officers and tasked them with hunting down these Adroits, assessing their threat to the city, and capturing them whenever possible. These are brave souls taking on this challenge, and they know they are ill-equipped for the task at hand. However, they are committed to doing what they must to keep their city safe.

The citizens of Capital City are brave and hopeful. However, they know that something must change, and soon. It’s almost as though a dark cloud is moving in over their city, but no-one really knows what to do. But as always, there is hope!

One man, on a search to discover his true identity, has found his fate intertwined with this great city. He is a man who has been trained in the ways of righteousness and instilled with a fire to help those who cannot help themselves; a man whose selflessness is only outweighed by his bravery; a man whose obsession with the truth is never compromised and no longer understands the meaning of “I can’t.”

This man is Crimson Hawk, a lost soldier on a mission to save the world, and find himself along the way. The Crimson Hawk, also known as Max Ward, has set up shop in Capital City in a major way. No one knows who he is, but they are thankful for his service. Partnered with his best friends/adoptive family, Pops and Leeka, they are on a mission to right many wrongs and uncover one of the biggest conspiracies of darkness this realm has ever seen.

You see, many people are concerned with the ills of politics. Others are obsessed with the dangers of criminal underworld. Yet and still there are even more who worry about the corrupt royals and their militaries or even the deadly drugs sweeping the streets and destroying the minds of our youth.

But what most don’t understand is that there is one source of power for all of these threats. The Evil Darkness of Chaos fuels the fires of dissension, unrest and unconscionable acts across the land. And only The Light of Divinity can bring it all to an end. It is this very light that drives The Crimson Hawk, Pops, Leeka and every divinely appointed champion that is called to fight The Darkness and restore Divine Order to the realm of Nuz’ZarEil.
