Arjun/Aarya: the rooted rain

Wed, 06 May 2026 08:28:31 +0000

The Hook: When an ancient, prehistoric parasite is unearthed in the Aravalli Hills, the monsoon rains of India turn into a delivery system for the apocalypse. As the "Red Rain" falls, it transforms the population into "The Rooted"—a hive-mind of plant-like predators. In a country of billions, the fight for survival isn't just against the monsters, but against a military that wants to weaponize the infection.
​

The Survivors
​
Captain Arjun (The Protector):
A Para SF Medic who follows orders until he realizes the orders are a death sentence. He expresses his love through silent, lethal protection.
​
Dr. Arya (The Mind):
A brilliant virologist who holds the key to the cure. She is the moral compass of the group, challenging Arjun to be more than just a soldier.

​Veer (The Soul):
A high-speed fixer and driver who provides the escape and the humor. He sees the spark between Arjun and Arya long before they admit it.
​The Love Story: A slow-burn, high-stakes romance between a man trained to kill and a woman trained to heal. In a world where everyone is becoming a hive, their bond is the only thing that remains purely human.
