Evany Starr & Midnight Penn™ starr blog
STARR BLOG
New Verance City™ is bleeding through time. The past is breaking in. And three people who never asked to be heroes are the only ones who can stop it.
Who??
Midnight Penn – A private conservator and secret heir to an ancient bloodline. Her memories of that legacy have been erased, but when a series of targeted thefts hits her shop, she realizes the city is assembling something catastrophic. She doesn’t chase power; she chases containment.
Evany Rae – A self‑taught engineer and former Coda street vendor. She dreamed of inventing a new sport, but after the Guild rejected her, she kept her prototype bat for protection. By jury‑rigging a broken Vein Core relic into the bat, she created STARR — a reality‑bending weapon that forces ancient magic to obey human engineering.
Emma Rae – Evany’s twin sister. Emma can rebuild her own memories into physical holograms that overlap with the real world. The cost is devastating: the deeper she searches for clues about their missing parents, the more her present‑day memories are violently erased. A faceless stranger haunts her most precious memories, evicting her whenever she gets too close to the truth.

The Rae twins discover a championship they truly won — but that no longer exists. They can relive it through unstable memory constructs, but they can’t bring it back with them.
Every story has a wound. This one belongs to the Rae twins. Evany and Emma are orphans. They don’t remember their parents. All they have is a single photograph: a man labeled “Dad” in someone’s handwriting, he's in the stands at an unidentified stadium. They’ve kept that photo for years, not knowing if the man is real or just a ghost they’ve invented. Emma has the ability to walk into her own memories. She’s been searching for him — for any trace of the father she can’t recall. But every time she reaches into the past, she loses a piece of her present. And something is always waiting to push her out. Then, inside one of those memories, they saw something else. Themselves. Celebrating. A championship trophy. A final season they know never happened. Their team folded before they could ever get that far. But the memory construct doesn’t lie. They won. Reality just forgot. Now the twins are chasing two impossible things: a father they can’t remember, and a victory that no longer exists. They can relive that championship through unstable memory constructs — the cheers, the final play, the weight of the trophy. But they can’t bring any of it back with them. Not the proof. Not the truth. Not him. As the writer, I don’t know if they’ll ever find their father. Do they find their mother? That mystery is still alive for me too. But I do know that searching for him will lead them to a truth about themselves they never expected. They were champions once. And someone erased it. This is the story of how they try to take it back. — YGA

AuthorI’ve been a comic artist since 1992. This is my first story — born from a dream, lost to corrupted hard drives, but kept alive in sketchbooks from 2003. After a recent rewrite, it’s finally here. Archives
