Why It’s a Franchise

Film TV Animation/Manga

This IP is built for repeatability: a teen lead with long runway, rules-based mythology that generates fresh antagonists and set pieces, and a structure that supports both standalone adventures and an overarching saga. It scales across film, premium series, animation, and manga—without reinventing its core identity.

A Hero Audiences Grow With

Meilin is a teenager—built for a multi-film arc and long-running series progression.

A Rules-Based Mythology Engine

Demons, relics, realms, and Taoist rules generate fresh stories without breaking canon.

Multi-Format Ready

Film / TV / Animation / Manga—same spine, scalable scope, consistent visual identity.

Standalone adventues + an overarching saga
= repeatable “event” storytelling.
