"Every person's life is a book with thousands of pages, and in every one lies an irreplaceable truth"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peace and war.

they are inseparable parts of society, forever woven into its fabric as an essential piece that allows us to choose how we live. they has almost always existed since the beginning of time, an eternal pendulum swinging back and forth and defining history.

Peace, while it is an essential thing we strive for. we are not in a time of peace. war has gripped the human race like an evil plague, consuming our worlds with fear and death. Like always before, the return to peace is slow, painful, and its crawling pace does not save what we love. even in this futuristic age of glorious technology, all we have done is come up with more complicated ways of "humanely" killing out enemies.

But what would you say if i told you that it was possible to do miracles for mankind. what if i said that you could somehow change the universe to stop hatred, spread peace, and rid the galaxy of bloodshed? what if i told you i could even stop death?

Yes, it sounds blasphemous but it is true. although the secrets of such miracles and changes are difficult, it is not the procedure itself that is the real threat. it is not a matter of if it can be done, it is a matter of why it would be done, and the consequences if it ever came to fruition.

I guess the real question is, do you know what would happen if it did come to pass?

my name is meaningless. I am known as the wiseman of my kind, and it is I who know the path to perfect peace and long life for all.

it is I who know its dirty little secret.

Ok! now that i have your attention with my cryptic little intro, i wanted to start up the topic on a future thread i will be starting to plan. namely, my next RP, which will be known as...

Eden Saga

yeah, i know, the name is a work in progress, but lets move on for now and get to the details:

The RP will either take place in a the Metroid universe in which Gate, Adam, and the other GI reside, or will take place in a long-distant future of our current timeline (think around 2600-2700 A.D) in a sort of tense, dark era in the future. the plot will be a sort of action/conspiracy style plot revolving around some mysteries based on some mythological/religious aspects.

thoughts, comments, hopefully not complaints, ideas? id like to hear em while i work through the logistics of the more basic plot and flesh it out, so please, if you have an opinion, feel free to post it! remember, i cant do this without your help! (and yes...i did get the inspiration for the RP from something recent i played/read, so i apologize in advance ^_^;;)

Well, according to mah fanshy timeline, the latest date of an RP taking place is the year 2336.

So, just how far into the future are we talking about exactly? Or would it be so far into it that our timeline and current life-span suffering characters wouldn't matter?

I could see Squirt in this, of course, a couple hundred years have most likely matured her a little :P

B, I believe Gate said an 'or' in between the words "Inserting into Metroid verse" and "taking place in a distant future from our present timeline. Meaning, this can all take place in the original settings that we created, or it can take place from our distant timeline...well, you get the point.

However, if it what you were thinking before (Which i was too, for a second) was actually stated by Gate, i would have to disagree. Such a long skip in time from the 'current' (Meaning, around t he current period of the troid verse) would make character development, from my stand point, a bit hectic.

My reason for this is because, well, there could be thousands of different scenarios that can take place during that long time span, thus, in which there could be several different ways the character have developed. Now, we could create a template or idea in how our characters would mature or change over that time, but the lack of in-character development wouldn't be able to give us much depth as there would by slowly developing our character from their current standpoint to the targeted future timelines.

*Cough* Confusing paragraph aside, though, usually it's a lot more funner to see how a character matures on site than creating a massive timeskip.

Anyway, I'll probably be joining the RP with Raxon and Marken, and perhaps two other characters, depending on how a tentative 'plan' will shape out. ;)

Oh, and if it weren't obvious, I vote for placing the RP in Metroid universe. I can't play my characters in the latter.

I'd be interested in doing this. I have a couple character ideas I was planning for the future... ^_^ It seems very interesting, personally, since it's futuristic already, and we'll be going into a kind of superfuturistic state...

Neat. Superfuturisticality.

ah, k! so i do have interest, excellent!

Ok, after some review, i have decided to make Eden Saga take place roughly 11-13 years after most of our current timelines in the Metroid universe (give or take) to give us enough of a gap so we wont have to worry about any paradoxes to worry about.

Also, as for the GI heavily involved in the story (the main ones) , i may request that we actually give them some way to physically interact in the real world unless the RPer has a physical character, IE manufactured bodies or something along those lines. while i know RPer's are going to be involved with real living beings, I would really want the GI to be more involved as well on a more personal level i guess. its just a suggestion/opinion, but i think that it would be good.

The story will most likely be involving a planet that is half-civilized, half-wild almost backwater planet within federation space. despite that, this RP will probably take place under the federation radar at first, mostly involving everyones favorite unusual employer, a large corporation that, although its not evil, does have bad apples (so to speak)

i wont spoil much more, but instead ask for your initial opinion of the idea before i start an entrance post, at which point this thread will instead transform into an "out of character" thread for us to discuss plot and such.

so...whatcha think?

Roffel House!

I like it! Consider me in with Adam and probably Echo. As for the GIs having a means to interact with the physical world, by the time this RP takes place I'm sure that Adam has manufactured HFIs for Echo and Raxon. Squirt, depending upon any potential plot twist Beflexor may have planned to occur between present-time and the future-time of this RP, has a physical body courtesy of Trisha's beflexor.

I'll probably be slow posting since my schedule just went to crap, but I'll do my best.

okay! ive started working on some more information on the planet Eden saga will take place on, at least, and have come up with some more fun literature stuff to read while i work on the intro. here are a few more details...

-----------------

Planet info.

Name/Identification: Ozma-4

Classification: Terra-type 2 planet (planet consisting of almost equal amounts of land and water and similar climate regions to earth)

Location in federation space: 4th planet in the Gilgulim system, approx. distance from federation space is difficult to say due to the planets unusual orbit around its sun, but is relatively close to populated systems.

Tech-statistics: 35% planet colonized, 65% unihabited due to rough terrain and recent legislature in the federation to conserve and protect wildlife on planets. colonized section belongs to corperation known as "Armagen"

----------------

Armagen and You!

A beginners pamphlet and guidelines for working among Armagen's many ventures, From information on our company to information on contracts, we hope this informational guideline answers all your questions regarding our organization and informs you of the guidelines regarding our organization through our time-tested Q&A method.

Q: What is Armagen?

A: Armagen is a private-owned contract-based galactic corperation that is on the forefront of advancing federation technology for both the private sector and the public domain. We as a company are responsible for large numbers of advances in a number of scientific, social and military contexts.

Q: What are Armagen's most recent ventures?

A: As stated before, Armagen is a contract based company that survives on the value of its contracts and ventures. due to the NONDISCLOSURE policy we hold for many of our contracts, we are not allowed to discuss most of our ventures until they are released publicly (if it is stated in the contract that it can be). However, as you may or may not already know, we have recently announced the news that Armagen has recently moved its HQ to the Planet of Ozma-4, a major and bold move by our CEO in order to give us plenty of room for our continuously growing contracts into new and bold areas of science and technology!

Q: how do Armagen contracts work?

A: Armagen itself is a corporation that, although we do our own work through a hired staff, Armagen is largely contract based. what that means (in the case of Armagen) is that we hire freelance individuals in the areas of every field on a per-job basis. at the same time, our service allows various other corporations, groups and individuals to send in and sponsor jobs or "contracts" to us. using our patented selection system, we then match up the most compatible groups and individuals for the job. then, after the job is completed, the fees and rewards for the job are awarded, and Armagen recievies a percentage reward based on the value of the job (IE: if a new invention is created that sells extremely well on the galactic market, Armagen receives a percentage of the profit if it was involved in making it.) through this system, Armagen helps all parties succeed at their goals without wasting valuable time and effort in the process of hiring unreliable and uncredited 3rd party groups that are not guaranteed 100% loyalty.

In short, if you are looking for a reliable employer on a per-job pay basis, or a strong, reliable employee on a per-job basis, let us help you the Armagen way!

We hope this small but informative tutorial helped you better understand the wondrous cooperation that is Armagen!


((OOC:....okay, i know its corny, but ive always wanted to write a corporate FAQ pamphlet for an RP. now, ill get to work on the actual intro possibility part of the post.))

I'm sorry Terron, er, Gate. I don't know if I can join this RP, I have quite a bit on my plate as it is, and I've got a dozen other things I've got going too.

Hey CEMP, if you're still interested in your character plot idea for this, I'd still be willing to help you out with that. Just let me know 'kay? ^_^
