TranSentience started as a way for us to collaborate on our prior (separated) worldbuilding concepts that we had developed for years before we started dating. Given our shared love of science fiction, we thought it would be a shame to waste our abilities and ideas.
The idea of TranSentience was first initiated by Virtual, who laid the foundation for a galaxy in which we could engage in roleplaying with our characters. Our initial comic concepts arose after AEMRA introduced a new protagonist/main character for herself.
Our galaxy started small, with only two or three alien species, our main characters, and ideas from the past. However, we didn’t feel prepared to do anything significant with it until recently, so we made the decision to make our project more known. Eventually to be turned into something that would last for us and our lovely dovely online community, something we would likely still enjoy in our fifties. Whether it’s existence itself or life as a construct, we both like philosophizing and pushing each other to think about the most bizarre topics. Numerous events from our early years also influenced our long-term passions.
