From the creative mind that brought you the informative Savvy Sage web series, the classic cult-hit Technology Showdown, and provided research for Computer Clan’s Krazy Ken’s Tech Talk, comes a new original comic where anything can happen.
Bountiful Berkeley is Keynimation’s anthology comic and a spin-off of the Savvy Sage web series, where anything can happen.
Bountiful Berkeley will feature original characters: Allegra Vernon and her younger brother Troy Vernon (you can guess what their initials reference), two siblings who go on miscellaneous adventures that happen throughout town, while also running into some obstacles they’ll have to overcome.
The comic will also introduce new supporting characters, including Allegra’s longtime friend Eva Haring, an introverted newcomer named Sierra Onlinger, and Troy’s affectionate, but sassy friend Crystie Diamond.
Sometimes they have to deal with conflicts that come from Mark Floss, a guy who tries too hard to be “professional”.
Described as an "everywoman", Allegra is a community college student who tends to work for her goals. Sure, she can be arrogant, curious, and even make mistakes, but ultimately she learns something from it, whether it'd be from her friends, family, or her own experiences. When she's not busy with homework, Allegra is a pretty active person, often going out to hang around, exercise, talk to friends, or play games.
He's been called a geek. He's been called a nerd. He's been called tech-savvy. However, whichever way you call him, he's considered unique. Troy is Allegra's younger brother, and (despite his rambunctiousness) is filled with creativity, comedic comebacks, and helps his older sister out whenever possible. He currently attends Berkeley High School, where he often interacts with his friends during breaks, sometimes with shenanigans ensuing. He dreams of one day becoming a video game developer.
No, that isn't just a crazy nickname. That's his name, and being "cool" is his game. He has a habit of being cynical, usually distracting or annoying our main leads, sometimes being full of himself. However, he is not a goofball—he tries to be as professional and slick as possible. However, it's best that you don't get into arguments with him... Just saying.
Eva is Allegra's longtime friend, dating back to Kindergarten. Her interests lie in nature and science, however she's also very versatile when it comes to helping others in need. Aside from her friends at Berkeley Community College, her family owns a pet dog, and her mother has a degree in science, which is probably where she got her inspiration from.
Sierra matches the category of introvert, but she's a little more than that. As a newcomer to the Berkeley area, Sierra is getting to know the citizens that make this town lively. Outside of Berkeley Community College, she has a collection of dolls that were unknowingly bought from a sketchy shop run by [REDACTED], and her mother works as a hair stylist who is pretty well-known within the community.
Crystie is a high school student and one of Troy's best friends. Despite her kind and slightly gentle personality, she does have plenty in common with Troy—however, she'll have to cope with his antics. Outside of Berkeley High School, Crystie is quite adventurous. She enjoys playing sandbox and survey games, and gets curious exploring caves...as long as her friend Troy is around of course.
However, some comics may not feature our original characters—we’re also planning one-shot stories (to go alongside comics featuring original characters), specifically from games we enjoy, like a certain franchise inside a cardboard box…
Bountiful Berkeley comics will be available for free on SavvySage.net, with comic dubs to be available on the Keynimation YouTube channel.
The first set of comics will premiere this Fall—animated cartoons are also currently in development.
