Key elements.

One of the most important aspects of my story is natural inclusion. The base characters are pretty basic people, non-descript, as it was my intention for readers to decide ethnicity for themselves, apart from the main protagonist, Ava. She is based on myself and is an integral part of my self discovery.

Since taking up the metaphorical pen, I've learned things about different groups of people, and found representation to be vital. From the start I wanted this story to be inviting and inclusive but I didn't really know how to when I started. Following many groups on social media as part of my research, from PoC to people of the LGBTQ+ community to people of varying faiths, the thing they all have in common is representation and the importance of making it a key factor and not seem like an after thought, or for that matter, excluded.

I failed to be naturally inclusive with the first few chapters, and I don't plan on changing them, because it's vital that my personal growth is reflected in the story. I find that if I'm able to listen and learn, although I'm not obligated to, I find it important that we should as the human race seek to respect and understand others in our communities and across the globe. To be ignorant is to be uneducated. And that is my priority. Don't hate, educate.

As well as being inclusive, this is to say that every one is fair game to be bad or good. This is how I seek to provoke a discussion. Be it someone with mental health issues, or someone of the Christian faith, it could be anyone or any particular group that become a barrier for some reason, depending on the situation. Such as it reflects our own societies. Without transparency, and controversy, we find ourselves without reason to react. Any and all reactions from my story are positive. To be able to move someone and change a person's mind for the better is something I hope to achieve.

The underlying issues I hope to highlight in this story firstly are:

*Mental Health

*Sexuality

*Religion

Project Reboot is to be a series of books that will dive deeper into more social aspects including:

*Race

*Gender

*Disability

I genuinely seek to help raise questions and to dispel myths to my best ability.

The otherwise aspects to my story revolve around:

*Trust

*Faith

*Morals

*Ethics

*Survival

*Betrayal

*Acceptance

*Grief
