A Foreword by EON:
The Unofficial Trinity Comic Book was a project started on Europnet back in 1999
by J F Dubeau. Although the project was never completed for a variety of reasons,
I was digging through the old Europnet archives and realised Id still got all the artwork, the character bios and the various sketches that were done.
After being asked about the project by a couple of visitors to the website, I
decided to turn the content and art I had into this document for ease of reference.
The project may never have got fully off the ground, but at least you can still see the
work that J F Dubeau did manage to get competed. I hope you can appreciate the
time and energy he put into the project. If youve missed the point this was all
extremely unofficial and did / does not challenge any White Wolf
Copyrights. Visit http://www.white-wolf.com
Cheers EON admin.

Ian musters up some aerial support for an all out attack on the then corrupted jumpship while Dao and Zoe try to stop him from within. Only after a severe confrontation is Strobe talked into pulling his guard down and surrendering, having been
promised a new role in the defence of Earth...only to be gunned down by Dao and
Zoe.
The story is mostly base on how the character interact. It's obvious that Zoe and
Doa are not meant to be best of friends. Dao is a show off and is everything Zoe
ever wanted to be. She is fiercely jealous of him and this does not go unnoticed. Ian
on the other hand is having a hard time dealing with the return of his lost friend. Zoe
and Dao's last minute betrayal does not sit well either.
The story ends ambiguously as the three psions argue over the ethic and morality
of what has transpired.
The story is meant to drive in two points:
1)
2)
Aberrants must be very finely tuned. We want the readers to feel that there is more
to the monsters than just killing machines, but on the other hand that whatever
more there is does not make them less dangerous.
The three main characters are, as you might have guessed, a trinity. It's a rather obvious play on the title of the game but I think it works well. Dao and Zoe are opposite corners. Dao is the positive side of being a psion. Powerful aptitudes, respect,
glory. Zoe on the other hand proves that being a psion isn't always wonders and
fun. She represent resentment, anger and failure. Ian is the balance between the
two. Ian represents failure overcome and success ignored. He is the one who
brings the two together. A fitting role for an ISRA.
Zoe Savino
Zoe Savino was born in Spain but quickly moved to the more
comfortable Rio De Janeiro. She was apparently raised in a
most luxurious environment and quickly picked up the habit
of getting what she wanted. She tested as soon as legally
possible for latency and as per her wishes turned up to be
latent.
In a rare fit of patience, she waited until after her graduation
before applying with any Order. She majored in Eco-biology
and got her Doctorate degree in Environmental BioEngineering at the University of Puerto Rico-Medical Sciences Campus.
After graduation she quickly applied to Nora for membership. After meeting with
Del Fuego for approbation however, she was refused, twice. Del Fuego's reasons
for rejecting Zoe are unknown but probably have something to do with her attitude.
She was redirected to the Aesculapian Order where she met with difficult acceptance. The Vitakinetic Proxy was not thrilled to accept such a reluctant member.
Zoe has met with a fairly good psionic development but slow hierarchical progress.
Even though she is a respectable Vitakinetic she is still assigned menial work as assistant instead of being handed her own research. Zoe Savino is currently on staff
for Biotechnological field testing.
Ian Banks
A veteran of the Esperanza/African conflict, Ian was a British born psion forced to
move out because of England's view on psions. Ian lost a lot during the Esperanza
crash, his girlfriend (she died in the Esperanza crash), his wingmen, and much of
his self esteem. He disappeared during three years and has only recently come
back to active duty. A pilot of remarkable skill, Ian trained with the Legion as a pilot
and then went on to serve the Trinity as a Proteus agent, standing on orbital patrol.
Ian is the posterboy for an ISRA clairvoyant. His psionic aptitude is well mastered,
he is calm and at peace with himself. Recommended numerous times for promotions that would have pulled him out of the dangers of piloting fighters, he has refused on all counts saying he prefers to keep to the field where his abilities are of
greater use.
Updated information:
It seems Ian spend most of his three years of absence offering relief efforts to the
Esperanza crash victims. Leaping from one relief group to the next, always keeping
out of the Trinity's eye. It is unknown if he did this to look for his lost girlfriend or if
he only did it to confront the horror of the disaster or some other more obscure reason. His reasons for coming back into the Trinity fold are yet unknown, however Ian
claims it is on the suggestion of Otha Herzog.
Dao
RESTRICTED INFORMATION
Seems there is very little information on the Nora
operative calling himself 'Dao'. From what I've pieced
together he is from a family of Mexican refugees who
themselves were immigrants from the FSA or even
the USA if this information goes farther up his family
tree. 'Dao' paid someone a hefty sum to keep his
past as wrapped in mystery as possible. It's very
likely that he needed to hide some/all of his past to
be accepted within Nora.
Of the many images available of 'Dao' only one is
from his time before his triggering. It shows a very
different man. At least 75 pds heavier and must less sculpted than the 'Dao' seen in
news cast and poster shots.
'Dao' is a skilled biokinetisist and has also shown he is capable of limited electrokinesis. It is no wonder Nora is so fond of putting him in front of cameras. Charming,
obviously intelligent and a natural show-off, he is an adequate spokesman.
Currently 'Dao' has been assigned to a Proteus relief team in Paris. It is seldom that
the Nora will loan one of their star operatives for such low profile work. I suspect
that Del Fuego might be trying to score points to ask a favor in the near future.
Production Gallery:
Well, production has started and is going well...actually it's going better than expected. It's too early for me to move my deadline, but I'm optimistic that I will finish
by, or before scheduled. I draw, color and prepare one page a week, which brings
the end of the production for the first book to April. I know, I know. It's a long way
from now, but I can't work full time on this considering I have to feed myself. With
some hopes, if the first book works out, I might be able to work full time on the following books.
Here are the sketches for a medical BioGlove and it's corrupted 'counterpart'. You
could say that this is an important part of the story. The 'corrupted' versions are of
low quality, but these are production sketches so it's to be expected.
Here's a few sketches for the Orgotek Locust Fighter. It's mainly to see if I can draw
the craft at all and figure out some of it's various parts and functions.
Here are some the two final sketches for the new Zoe. Version 2 was the final selection. (Ok, so these images might look sorta sketchy, but they're meant to be that
way.)
These are two images of Strobe. Strobe is the bad guy aberrant for the story.
Art Gallery:
Prototype 1 of the cover art/
Well, here it is. The first page of the Trinity comic book. It depicts Zoe approaching
what used to be a landmark for France as she's entering the heart of Paris. A narrative in the sky will explain some of what goes on to put the readers in context. It
feels kind of strange taking this first step into the book. I mean, the first script is in
and it's gorgeous. I'm starting to think about the cover and have some pretty sharp
ideas, but actually having a page over and done with is a milestone. I guess 'it has
begun'.
These are images of Zoe and Dao, two of the main characters. Although Dao will
stay pretty much the same except for his clothing and accessories, Zoe will go
through a drastic change to better fit her background and demeanor.
First draft of Zoe Savino
.and finally!
I thought this page might be more nifty if it had a graphic...
and the menace of a suggly cute aberrant might serve to
persuade you to send comments.
