Your OWN manga

Anyway, I can't draw to save my life, but I'd love to pitch this to someone with artistic skills. (Anyone want to help draw it?)

I've actually came up with a few shonen storylines that, one day, if I can learn how to draw manga or get someone who can draw for me, I plan on trying to get published. Unfortunately, I still haven't come up with ideas for names of characters yet, but hopefully once I get a better understanding of the Japanise language I will eventually. Oh well. Here it goes:

This series is entitled Nephilum (refering to the term used for a half-human half-angel who was an abomination fathered by an actual angel)

EDIT: Yes, I know, this is WAY to long, and I apologize. I just couldn't figure out how to sum it all up in just a few lines.

The main character is a collage student who is a member of a small religion that worships the god Celestia (using the latin term for Celestial Being). It is an ancient religion that has existed since time was time, and in fact was the religion that inspired Christianity, Islam, and Hebrew, however not nearly as big and is not known by many people outside the religion. It's a religion that started when a race known as the devils, a race born when one of Celestia's angels fell from the heavens when he tried to rebel against Celestia's plan to create humankind and send them to earth. With him fell 5 other of Celestia's angels who became this rebel's followers. When they fell to earth, as punishment for their crimes against Celestia they were born as these devil creatures who can reproduce without a mate, and created the entire devil race. They became known as "The first 6," and are the 6 devil leaders who are the most powerful, terrible, and evil of the entire devil race.

Years went by as the human race multiplied to match the numbers of the devil race on earth and for that many years the two races were constantly at war over control of the earth. The war intensified so much to the point where Celestia decided to get his angel armies involved in order to save the human race. While there, 6 of his angels fathered these Nephilum abominations in their interactions with the humans, creating 6 family bloodlines to which there are modern day conections. 1 of these angels was struck by this cursing technique that one of The first 6 know, and was unable to return to the heavens because of it. This happened to him before he fathered his Nephilum child. But in the end it was him who used one of the greatest angel techniques ever created to create an alternate universe (hell) to which these devils were sent and sealed in by the 7 pentagram seals, which also work as a gateway to these alternate universe, but only for those who posses angelic powers rather than demonic powers (those the actual terms I use for what Naruto calls "Chakara.") Unfortunately this great battle took the lives of nearly the entire human race, and only a few who survived know the truth of what happened and where the first members of this religion while the rest wanderes around in ignorance. This event is identical to "The great flood of Noah."

Now jump ahead to present day. 6 members of the human race are within the Nephilum bloodlines and are in fact Nephilum themselves. These 6 are my main character and 5 other of his friends, of whom are the only friends my main character has, as he has had just that pathetic of a life. He grew up being picked on and inferior to everyone else, including his friends, and because of which he is (mostly starts out as) a dark, mysterious person with all kinds of issues. As only 3 of these 6 friends of his he actually grew up with, (actually, there is one other friend he has, but he's not a Nephilum, but he does come in latter in the series as a very important character) the others he met in late high school/collage. It is the friend he meets in collage that introduces this series, as she tries as hard as she can to find out about this mysterious person, as does the friend he met in latter high school years, who comes into play latter on in the series. It isn't until they turn 18 in which a Nephilum's powers start to awaken, and it is here that these 6 start to descovor who they are (the series starts out with him already having discovored these powers, then flashes back to when he did, and when the others did as well, then with some of the younger of the 6, they discover latter on in the series.) The main character, however, has discovered that he also possesses demonic powers as well........

Then there's the threat. First of all, it appears the devils, who can talk to anyone who goes near the pentagram symbols, have lured an army of humans into their fold by convincing them to willingly be given this cursing technique, giving them demonic powers. They formed an organization called "The Brotherhood of the Sixes (referring to the symbol of the devils, the sequence of Sixes, also known as the 666 symbol) which has branches all over the world, and each one devotes himself to a particular one of The first Six. Second of all, The Brotherhood of the Sixes are aperantly ushering in what is known as "The Day of Reckoning," in which the pentagram seals will allow the devils to pass through, and thus bring the world into chaos and war over the control of the earth once again, this time with the devils prevailing, with the newfound help of The Brotherhood of the Sixes! Thing is, they are only a few days away by the time this is found out!

But hope lies in the 6 Nephilum, who must train with the secret Vatican of this religion to learn how to use their angelic powers (the Vatican in this case is an army of those who are blessed with the powers of angels and train to learn how to use them for those who join, but since the Nephilum are actual angels, that means they could be of great use if they learn how to use their powers!) to aid the Vatican in this war against the devils and The Brotherhood of the Sixes.

Kain

Kain actually takes place in america with american names and all, and was an Idea I came up with when in Senior year english class when we had to write our own Cantibury tail (as in those that Jeffry Chaucer wrote), so it's actualy one I've been working on for longer than Nephilum, although only by a few months. It's evolved since, but not nearly as much as Nephilum.

This series centers around a high school aged teenagere in Seattle, Washington who dropped out of school when he was 15. He knows absolutely nothing about his life before then, only that he has all these superhuman fighting abilities for some mysterious reason, and has become feared amongst the underground and street fighting abilities because of his awesome power. Know one knows, not even himself, what his real name is, but he is known only by the name Kain, which is a word engraved in his skin (the reason for which I still haven't revealed). After having killed off an entire branch of an organization who, kind of like the mafia, is an organization entirely devoted to doing wrong to others, which he did so in an attempt to rescue a girl from the local high school who is in the same grade as he would be who is a perfect 4.0 GPA student, you know, basically your typical goody goody, popular teenage girl, who has had run-ins with him on the street and has done nice things for him, Kain is hunted down by a secret millitary organization seeking to do war with this organization, and learns that when he was 15, he lost his whole family to the crime organization,and as revenge decided he would offer himself to the millitary organization to become subject to a genetic engineering project that gave him these fighting abilities. This was an attempt for this millitary organization to create the perfect, superhuman warrior to do battle against this organization, which has also used genetic engineering to create extremely vicious and hostile creatures who also posses these same superhuman abilities that Kain does.

I ve started my own manga. and i have some of my characters posted on another site.
