Just in case you're wondering about Assassin, he used to stop by the Jade Dragon. After its burning down, he has not been seen in any one place for too long... but there have been random sightings of him here and there, so he is still about. He hasn't seen any particular reason to go home yet, so he's still on Gaera.
Timeline:
Astrynax -> Shadow of Astrynax -> Infinity -> Endgame -> Manta -> This.
Issues:
This does indeed mean that the saga starts off with Erech and Astrynax being dead. This will be resolved once the plot kicks into fullswing. The setting for this RP will be, for the most part, on Gaera itself, so there will be no alienation of backwards Gaerans when confronted with futuristic settings.
As far as the characters know, Infinity is dead. They know nothing of the heretofore unknown third branch.
Character Status:
This may or may not be a hint about who will be involved, excepting the villainous characters listed, who will not be seen.
Alex is still imprisoned on Knossos.
Anti-Enlil is still recovering in a hospital on Earth.
Anti-Kelne is still flying about in his stolen airship.
Assassin, as stated above, is wandering about locations unknown.
Astrynax is still dead, having sacrificed himself during the Manta saga. Why did he die? That will come up.
Astyanax may or may not be acting out the Heart of Evil's ambition, but the characters do not know of this, and won't for some time.
Bebi/"The Creature" is likely wreaking havoc elsewhere.
Most of the Androids from Endgame are still dead (no Anti-Sorune returning for revenge!).
Dementia is still on Knossos, with
Retri.
End Reshiki is also still dead, but that's a given.
Manta has retreated to Asrico Planet #73, licking his wounds.
Ni Kaio will be hanging out, checking on the character's situation. As usual.
Okan, now a paladin, is returning to Doma after many years, heeding an odd premonition he has received...
Ranna-docius is still doing his vampire thing. He hasn't been able to find many jobs, but he has been able to fall back on his secret passion: puppeteering.
Scrum is dead, and no one will miss him.
Stephen is still searching for his sister in parts unknown.
The Conflict:
The enemy will be clearly defined, and while there will be a tentative connection to Infinity, they are definitely a separate group. The aim of the enemy will be of a much smaller scale than anything Infinity has come up (which means no attempts to destroy the world! Hooray!).
Preferred Characters
Zero: Kyle is fine.
Kelne: Ditto for Kelne.
Idran: Whomever you prefer. It would help if they have a connection to Kyle, Kelne, or any other character who I've noted thus far.
Shiny: Although Erech needs to be around for the actual 'revival' bit, I'd actually like Griff for this one, unless you'd prefer to bring in Janda. Either's fine.
Now, if DW, Pervy, or any of the others don't want to get involved, that's fine. I just want to get final confirmation before I go ahead with this. If anyone has any issues to bring up with me, or questions to ask, now is the time! <p>
