Hey guys, in spite of my better judgment, (because I'm working on an original script that is way more important), I've decided to actually start working on a script for a Boros fan project. I have a basic premise and some characters but I literally just got the film script website up within the last few minutes.
I'm looking for anyone who has any form of writing experience to help this nerdy little fan project along, but anyone in the OPM community can give ideas, review what we have so far, ect.
Premise: (All names minus Boros, Geryuganshoop, and Melzagard are up for change. In fact I think it would be funnier if Tratis was named Boris lol)
This story will primarily be a character study of Boros and what led him from a impoverished writer to the warbound Dominator of the Universe we see in One-Punch Man.
Boros and his younger brother Tratis are living in a poverty stricken settlement on their homeworld. Tratis is a hot headed gladiator, while Boros is a depressed struggling writer and philosopher.
A space alien, (or mad cyborg, or both, up for the community to decide), Xenonith, hearing of the innate healing abilities of Boros' species, goes to his world looking for a real fight. Boros and Tratis challenge him, but are dominated. Tatris sacrifices himself to save Boros, with Boros managing to land only one single-rage filled hit. This catches Xenonith's attention, who tells him that Boros has 1-5 years (idk for sure) to train and become as strong as he can before Xenonith returns to challenge him once more. If he fails to show or loses, his planet will be raised.
Boros begins a journey where he learns to forgive himself for what happened to his brother, and become a warrior. He ends up making connections with other living beings, (Groribas and Gery would be supporting cast), and growing a following.
When he comes to grips with his brother's death and accepts the absurdism of his situation, he confronts Xenonith, who he dominates in an anti climax. He then realizes that killing Xenonith will never bring his brother back, finding that the only way to feel any emotion beyond despondent and apathetic grief is to fight worthy opponents, turning him into the character we see today.
It's pretty much a cycle, Xenonith looks for worthy opponents, gets effortlessly beaten by Boros, Boros looks for worthy opponents, and gets effortlessly defeated by Saitama.
It would also make Boros, Gror, and Geryuganshoop's deaths so much more tragic given how hastily they are slaughtered.
Let's clarify a few things:
- This project is not guaranteed to ever be finished. It's just an idea that's been on my mind I wanted to share and work on with the community.
- Even if the script is finished, I don't ever think it will get animated, because that's so much work and also I have no drawing talent, I wouldn't be carrying my weight. (Ie, I would feel bad giving this to a group of community animators and not being able to contribute. And I don't have enough money to pay animators).
- Even if we only work on the script, it'll take a while. Might even take over a year just to finish the script.
- Everyone is welcome to contribute ideas and review the script, but only a few people (such as myself) will actually make edits to the script itself. This is to make sure the script doesn't end up all over the place with many people making a bunch of edits.
- No money will be made from this fan script of a copyrighted property.
- I’d like to keep the basic premise the same. I’ll try not to veto a lot, but I do still want it to be a character study at the end of the day.
- If you're interested, (as an animator, VA, writer, or just want to check out the script), message me. If it makes life easier I can give you my discord tag.
- I'll give updates occasionally here.
- Because I just got an account on this website, I’m still working things out.
- No, I did NOT put my real name to make the account, and neither should you.
- Here’s the website I’m using: Here
- If you made it this far somehow, remember this is all meant to be fun.
