This is a project that is very dear to me . I've been researching, plotting, and working on it for years . As with my other projects, I am currently looking for a publisher . If I am unsuccessful in my quest I will definitely self-publish again . There is, also, a possibility to create a series of novels of this character . 

This is the story synopsis . Please read it, then scroll down to see the character drawings .

There is a particular truth behind all the great myths of civilized man. The gods do, indeed, exist and still actively manipulating the affairs of man. Over time they have managed to convince humanity that they were nothing more than shadows, rumors, and the imaginations of superstitious minds. This has allowed them to manipulate civilizations for thousands of years. But who are they, really, and what do they want?

As a result of the effects of the Big Bang the universe continues to expand. There will come a time when that cosmic momentum will cease and it will fall back upon itself. This is the way it has occurred countless times before. The most powerful beings in the previous universe were the Titans. They alone found a way to spare themselves from being destroyed with their universe by using unimaginable technology and creating a pocket reality in a Chronal Sphere where they lay dormant until a new universe had come into existence. Upon awakening they were elated they had survived and saw this new universe as their playground. Their quest for knowledge and power was nearly as boundless as their cruelty. Creatures from all reaches of the cosmos were nothing more than toys, subjected to their experimentation and consumption.

Far into our future the Titans will discover the Earth. In an attempt to create a race of super slaves, they speed up humanity’s evolution faster and further than they anticipate and, inadvertently, give birth to gods. A thousand year war with the Titans and the gods ensues until some of the Titans break rank and assist Zeus and the others. The gods prevail and the remaining Titans thrown into a dimensional prison, Tartarus, from which there is no escape.

In Tartarus, the power of Cronus and the others can still be felt. Realizing they can’t defeat the gods, the Titans decide the only way to escape is to try and manipulate events in the past, and stop humanity from ever becoming the gods. In retaliation, and in an effort to insure their existence, Zeus and the others will go back in time to give birth to immortal warriors who are charged with protecting the planet, civilization, and history. These heroes have gone by many names, sometimes changing their identities as they go from one country to another: Heracles, Jason, Gilgamesh, Beowulf, Siegfreid, Lancelot, and many more. But throughout time, they have all died, save one: Polydeuces of Sparta, the immortal brother or the Dioscuri, also called the Gemini.

Ignoring the pain of combat and constant loneliness he has stood his post as this world’s greatest defender as he has done for thousands of years. Unwavering, never complaining, unyielding. He is a true Spartan. The only pleasures he has ever been allowed are visits from his brother Castor’s spirit, and his love, Hilaeira, a warrior priestess of Artemis, who has been reincarnated throughout the centuries to fight by his side. Polydeuces stands his post to this day, securing the future of humanity. If he falls, the future of humanity falls with him.
