Where it began

Fɘign was created in June of 2020 starting off initially as a 14 year-old (me) playing with, creating carious different characters and seeing where things went from there.

Though I wrote established backstories for the characters, there was no storyline or plot and served as nothing more than character depth. My writing was progressing and improving with media exposure and general life experience, despite this, there was still something missing.

Inspirations and changes

Fɘign did not get it's name until August 2024, prior to that, it was nameless. The need for a name didn't occur to me until my exposure to Silent Hill 2 in 2023. The more times I played Silent Hill 2 (and later 3), the more ideas I got for my own personal projects, primarily fɘign. This caused my writing to improve sigificantly and gave me inspiration for the future of fɘign as a whole. The overall aesthetics of the Silent Hill franchise played a massive role in changing some of my character designs along with my already existing decisions.

  An example of this would be the colour schemes of Masha Cermak. I, for a while, was discontent with her bright pink and green colour scheme, which remained consistent since her initial design. I thought her design looked some what tacky, which was something I was no longer going for.
  The reason for the sudden colour change in 2024 was to match the overall energy of fɘign itself as well as to match Masha's current personality. I made Masha's design comprised of darker and more muted colours aside from 1 or 2 bright colours on her accessories.

Why talk about Masha so much?

Masha is essentially the main character of fɘign though, there are technically 5 main characters in fɘign. Each one of the 5 characters have their own individual stories as well as contributing to the events throughout. Not to mention that Masha has the most substance compared to the others, primarily because she's the oldest character and what started this project.

Extra facts

  • At the very beginning it was supposed to take place in current time,
    even origianally having a time travel aspect to it.

  • All of my characters are colour coded, each of them have an assigned colour
    (example: Quinn's assigned colour is light purple)

  • Masha was created 5 days before my birthday! (June 30)

  • I base a lot of characters off of music genres, a lot being based off of :
    grunge, industrial, nu-metal (sorry lol) along with a bit of crust and death metal.

  • A lot of the initial events take place around 1999-2003 but later take place anywhere from 2005-2009.

  • Part of the story extends after the main time period, going as far as current day.
