ObernewtynBy Myrrhine Philemon Welcome to the post-apocalypic world of Obernewtyn ... It is many years after the world of the Beforetimers was destroyed by The Great White. The Land is scarred by large tracts of contaminated, tainted land. People and animals are born with physical and mental defects never seen before. A new society has emerged, run by the tight fisted Council and a secretive, mysterious religious body, the Herder Faction. Once a place of fear and torture, Obernewtyn has become a sanctuary for Misfits under the leadership of Rushton. It is essential that the true nature of Obernewtyn remains a closely guarded secret, at least until the time is right to overthrow the Council … What are Misfits I hear you wondering ... well Misfits are people who have developed special mental abilities. Some can speak with animals, others can read your mind. Some can control your thoughts and faculties, others can sense and manipulate your emotions. There are healers among the misfits who use their mind to reach into the mind and body of their patient to heal from within. There are those who are interested to the point of obsession with the technology of the old world. And there are those that can see into the future. Ordinary folk are scared of these gifted individuals, the Council are scared of them and the Herders want to use them. Based on the Obernewtyn Chronicles series by Australian author Isobel Carmody, our novel has recently relaunched and we are looking for new characters of all kinds to join us. Whether you are a bad guy or a good guy there is a place for you in our storyline. While our numbers are small at the moment we are an enthusiastic group of writers, and the best time to join us is right now as we develop our storylines and create brand new adventures. |
