Hello, My name is Taj Stevens. I'm 25 and am an aspiring author. I'm a fan of a lot of fiction more prominently Science Fiction and Fantasy. I consider myself an amateur right now but hope to become a well known professional throughout the years of my life. I mainly envision storytelling as a way to connect people with the surreal. A way to give them a vision of something different while still living in the real world. I want to pass onto others stories of characters who struggle with their destinies, combat the worlds they live in, and make choices that lead them to their ultimate goals. My biggest dream is not to come up with the next best seller or the next series that will be adapted into a movie franchise. My dream is to create a story that can be shared and loved by many. To create someone's new favorite character in literature or something everyone can celebrate as a great series. I was first inspired by my favorite authors Eoin Colfer (Author of the Artemis Fowl Series) and Rick Riordan (Author of the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series as well as many other titles) My passion was ignited by anime such as Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash. I made it my goal to become an accomplished author.

New Cover for Arcanum Astra.

Been messing around with NovelAI lately. It does miss that human element in drawn art and it can have it's imperfections. But at least I can actually see these characters.

One day I hope I can see them drawn completely and maybe even animated.

I'll be posting a character about everyday starting tomorrow. If you wanna know more please give it a read.

Arcanum Astra Vol 1: The Fool's Beginning (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/story/282329852-arcanum-astra-vol-1-the-fool%27s-beginning?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_myworks&wp_uname=skeith117&wp_originator=l0wUh0kP2nfJsiO6UlNwHtncz2TtFDlfs4ulhJODjS6uEjzjqg%2F14OLIpm08xJoJXNzTfUSntB9f1%2F1uA%2F%2FC2qkzeBa1IsNnS0l5HxBd1LacABHYCB6RTfY%2BL3MpI6b2 

 Soran Xenthos completely sucks at being normal. Being found inside of a destroyed mech in the middle of a civil war in the year 3981 certainly made him unique. He has also been able to manipulate fire before he could even learn how to walk. On the very long list of the things that make him special the one thing he truly hated was the strange nightmare that he can't seem to get rid of. A night of horror and death involving a woman named Alara and a man named Solomon who ironically looks just like him. Now living on the fourth planet of the Prime System known as Neo Arcadia, he attends the Albion Military Academy. A special school comprised of students from each of the Prime System's six worlds. Though for the past two weeks he's spent time in suspension for an altercation at school gone wrong. For his first day back he hoped he could spend it peacefully with his friends, Andrew, Clarke, and Talia as well as his cousin Minerva. Yet he found his hopes dashed away as a school rival nearly kills him. Moments before death, Soran comes face to face with Solomon himself, who reveals that Soran is a member of a long-forgotten race known as the Arcadians. Beings made of living Ether, the unlimited energy source that powers the very society Soran has known. It is then he gains awareness of his true potential as the holder of an Arcadian Marker called "The Fool." Realizing his destiny, Soran is entrusted by Solomon with the task of stopping Lucian, the man who murdered Solomon eons ago from realizing his ambition of creating a utopia for Arcadians alone. With the Prime Council and Solomon now placing their faith in Soran, he must acquire the secrets hidden within the Fool that will lead him to Lucian's ultimate goal. The Arcanum Astra is a device that is said to have the power to shape the very cosmos itself. For that he will lead the greatest fighting force the Prime System has ever created... Nova Astra.
