So here's the basic idea. Typical cyberpunk fare where megacorporations have more power and control than the goverment, private militias, all that stuff. Now picture that certain people begin developing a skin condition whereupon they get patches of reptilian scales. In a place like our future where a lust for power is fueled by a lust for knowledge, these emergent "scaled" people are subjected to several rights-violations. They're required to be registered, they must attend mandatory experimentation, their privacy is invaded, etc. Eventually they get sick of it and escape on a space-faring ark off into the stars to escape society.
Fast forward some odd centuries/millenniums. The descendants of The Scaled, now fully-realized as magic-wielding humans with the capability to morph into elemental dragons, have reemerged from the fringes of space and declared war on the biggest megacorporation in the Sol system.
The story would (mainly) follow Corporal Warren (working name), a mechanically and nano-augmented soldier working for said megacorp, and his captors, a select group of dragon-people holding him prisoner on their home planet. Together they uncover many secrets of the past, yaddayadda, promotional teasers, so on and so forth.
Current working title for the series is Steel Scales or Steel & Scales.
More entries (including some opinion-gathering ones) on this will be coming soon.
