Hyguardian

Dormant for 120,000 years

It has been waiting
for exactly this moment.

The Story

The oldest truth
on Earth has a name.

In 2120 Neo-Mexico City, Dr. Ashé Dravon is a crypto-archaeologist — brilliant, obsessive, and systematically dismissed by every institution he has ever trusted. He has spent his career tracing connections between ancient civilizations that mainstream science insists cannot exist.

He is right. They all know he is right. That is exactly why they are trying to stop him.

Beneath the Bermuda Triangle, a vessel grown from living crystal has been dormant for 120,000 years. It is not a machine. It is not a relic. It is alive — and it has been broadcasting a signal tuned to a single genetic frequency.

Ashé Dravon's.

120,000 years ago, the Atilans sent their greatest warriors to Earth — not to conquer, but to survive. Their descendants have lived among us ever since, unaware of what sleeps in their blood.

The Universe

One story.
A universe of consequence.

The B.E.A.R.S. universe is not a single story. It is a civilization — 120,000 years of mythology, conflict, sacrifice, and survival compressed into a transmedia world built to last a generation.

It begins with one man remembering who he is. It ends with an entire people reclaiming what was taken from them.

Hyguardian is the origin. B.E.A.R.S.: The Awakening is the ignition. Everything after is the fire.

Built by creator Davence Young over sixteen years, the B.E.A.R.S. universe spans multiple formats — each one expanding a world with roots older than human civilization itself.

The Lore

A civilization
120,000 years deep.

Ancient alien mythology. Cosmic civilizations. Seven bloodlines. A secret sleeping inside humanity for longer than recorded history. The B.E.A.R.S. universe draws from Mesoamerican, African, and cosmic cosmologies — treating them not as backdrop but as the foundation of everything.

Rich Lore

120,000 years of history spanning alien civilizations, galactic councils, and ancient bloodlines.

Powerful Factions

The Atilans, the Dra'un, the Kireech Council, the Hyguardians — each with their own agenda.

Built for Expansion

Every character, every world, every conflict was designed from day one to grow beyond one story.

The Garage

Age 10

The smell of grease and ozone always takes me back. My father's garage wasn't much to look at...

Is there a smell, a sound, or a feeling that instantly takes you back to someone you've lost?

Log 02 of 33

The Dreamer

Ages 5–12

My mother used to sing to me at night. Not lullabies — nothing that simple...

Did your mother or grandmother ever pass something down to you that you didn't fully understand until you were older?

Log 03 of 33

The Question

Age 8

My father taught me to ask why. Not in the annoying way kids do, but genuinely...

Who taught you to ask why — and did that gift ever cost you anything?

Log 04 of 33

First Nightmare

Age 7

I was seven when the dreams turned dark. Before that, they'd been beautiful...

Have you ever had a dream so real it changed the way you saw the waking world?

Log 05 of 33

The Argument

Age 9

My parents fought once. Just once, that I heard. I was nine, supposed to be asleep...

Have you ever overheard something as a child that you only fully understood years later?

Log 06 of 33

The Book

Age 10

My mother gave me a book for my tenth birthday. Old, leather-bound, with pages that felt older than they should...

Has someone ever given you something that seemed simple at the time but turned out to carry everything?

Log 07 of 33

The Museum Trip

Age 13

My class visited the Museum of Natural History when I was thirteen. Everyone complained...

Have you ever stood in front of something ancient and felt like it was familiar — like you'd seen it before?

Log 08 of 33

Her Voice

Ages 14–16

My mother sang less as I got older. Not because she wanted to — because it hurt her...

Have you ever lost someone before you realized what they were trying to tell you?

Log 09 of 33

The Call

Age 16

I was in history class when they pulled me out. Vice Principal's office...

Where were you when you got the call that changed everything?

Log 10 of 33

The Silence

Ages 16–17

After my mother died, my father stopped talking about the past. Any of it...

When someone you love shuts down from grief, do you push through or give them space?

Log 11 of 33

The Last Conversation

Early 20s

The phone rang at 11:47 PM. I know because I looked at the clock, annoyed at the interruption...

What would you say to someone you love if you knew it was the last time?

Log 12 of 33

The Phone Call

Early 20s

My father's lawyer called three weeks after the funeral. Said there was something he needed to give me in person...

Have you ever opened something a loved one left behind and weren't ready for what you found?

About the Author

"The oldest story on Earth was always ours.
Welcome to the reclamation."

I've always been an artist at heart — always have been, always will be. It began at age five when a screening of Steamboat Willie sparked something that never went out. I turned to my mother and said simply — "That's what I want to do."

That moment launched a decades-long journey through traditional drawing, graphic design, poetry, woodworking, digital illustration, costume fabrication, and prop building. A graduate of the Arts and Design school, I spent thirty years as a visual artist and worldbuilder — including years as a Dungeon Master crafting immersive universes and designing a tabletop RPG of my own.

Fourteen years ago I began writing screenplays. Sixteen years ago I began building the universe that would become B.E.A.R.S.: The Awakening — a high-concept military sci-fi epic produced through Dragonesque Studios LLC in co-production with Moskitos Films and director Darryl D. Johnson.

Hyguardian is the first novel set in the B.E.A.R.S. universe. It is the story of Dr. Ashé Dravon — a Black American crypto-archaeologist in Neo-Mexico City 2120 — and the ancient cosmic truth sleeping in his blood. It is the beginning of a universe I have spent sixteen years building because it didn't exist anywhere else.

The Mission

I believe storytelling is at its most powerful when it reflects the world as it truly is — diverse, vibrant, and complex. My mission is to tell ethnic stories from an ethnic point of view, with authentic voices behind and in front of the camera.

Because true representation is transformative.
