Ursula's Story

Ursula is a bit of a tomboy and likes playing sports. She has a younger sister (Eliza) who she helps look after coz her mum works all the time. She is very independent and constantly is thinking about her sister while the kids are in Kamala. She is rescued by the SnowHorn unwillingly, shouting "let me at 'em" while she is dragged away.

When Mathis discovers he can control his Animatron Ursula asks if there is another temple. The SnowHorn say there isnt and Ursula is upset that she isnt a Star Child and goes running off into the forest upset about why she is in the stupid land away from her sister. While she is hiding in the forest a "Gargoyle" (mechanical goon for Ardastra) attacks a lone bear cub. She sees this and tries to defend the cub by throwing rocks and attacking the Gargoyl with a stick. She is knocked over and about to be captured when the mother bear comes in and attacks the Gargoyle and smashes its head against a rock. The mother bear growls at Ursula and thinks she is out for her cub but the cub jumps in between them. The mother then trusts Ursula and, seeming as Ursula is lost and thinks she has no where else to go, follows the bears back to their cave. She sleeps in their cave for the night, wrapped up in the mother bears arms. The next morning more Gargoyles attack, the mother bear leads the cub and Ursula away high into the mountains, being chased by the Gargoyles, until they reach a massive cavern. In this cavern is another Animator, a giant bear, and a Token is lying on a plinth. Seeing what Mathis did, Ursula grabs the token and puts it into the bears shoulder and climb inside. She fights back the gargoyles and saves the bears. From her high point on the mountain she can see that the SnowHorn tribe are getting attacked by Gargoyles. She races down the hill and helps save the village by helping Mathis and his Mammoth. She asks the SnowHorn what her Token means and they all know that it means Strength.

Now that both Mathis and Ursula have Animators they decide to head back to Ardastra and free the land and find their friends.

One thing I'm having a problem with is how they transport these big mechanical beasts. First of all I thought of them summoning them (like Pokemon/digimon) using the Tokens and now im thinking of them spending most of the time in them (more like gundam) and getting out of them to eat, sleep, camp etc. Any thoughts?

Mathis' Story

Mathis is the youngest of the group and isnt very confident. He is easily scared and his friends consider him the "baby" of the group. When the kids are first sent to Ardastra he is rescued by the SnowHorn tribe and taken to safety in the mountains.

SnowHorn tribe
These guys look like savages. Big, strong and beardy. Think of them a bit like Vikings. They rescue Ursula and Mathis and take them up to the cold mountains of their territory. The SnowHorn tribe are very male dominated and as a right of passage each young man must make his own axe and chop down a tree with it. Mathis is taken with this bravado and macho attitude and really wants to take part in the challenge. The village elders hold council to decide if its possible for such a young boy to go through the trial. They decide that if Mathis is truly what they call one of the "Star Children" he must undertake the challenge. Mathis builds his axe in the forge and goes out to cut a tree, he wants the biggest tree in the forest to show he is a real grownup. He finds the biggest tree and in chopping it down frightens a herd of Wooly Mammoths and causes them to stampede. Mathis is running for his life when he sees a funny looking temple and hides inside. He finds the temple habitated by the Elders and they say how he has proven strong enough that he must be a "Star Child". They give him a necklace and this is a Token of Courage. This Token of Courage can be placed deep inside the temple which will unlock his Animatron. Mathis completes these challenges which are scary and confronts his fear of spiders and places his token in the shoulder of a great Wooly Mammoth. This construct comes to life and Mathis can now control it. When he brings out the Mammoth out of the temple a few Gargoyles (mechanical goons of Regal) and they attack the villagers. Mathis stands up to them and smashes them all up, saving the day.

So what do you think?
Ill do this for every character while each point introducing the tribe and anything else that pops into my head.

Ideal Premise

Ok this is basically my idea for a cartoon series a la Digimon, Ben 10, Pokemon etc. This is just an idea that I can imagine spawning toys and video games and maybe even movies.

I will post up some basic ideas with each post and see what people think.

Ok here are the main characters:

Leon
Luna
Draco
Skylar
Ursula
Mathis

They aged between 9-12 and are going camping. They find a creepy old mansion. In this mansion they find a mirror with 6 handprints in the glass itself. They put their hands in and a flash of light has them in a courtyard in the city of Ardastra in the land of Kamala. They are rescued by 3 tribes (2 go to each tribe) and eventually get given the Animatrons, they are like large constructs that the children control think Beast Wars meets Gundam. They fight Regal Ardastra (bad guy) and try and save the world yadda yadda yadda...

So next post I will fill out each tribe.
