This is intended to be the planning thread for Messiah, which is the culmination of several different RP’s that have been written over the past few years. Due to the shire amount of history that will in involved with RP only the nations that are listed below are invited to take part.


Invited:

Steel Butterfly
Clairmont

Haha hey I was actually talking about an OOC thread for your time-RP. Messiah is quite a bit off, RL-wise.

Haha hey I was actually talking about an OOC thread for your time-RP. Messiah is quite a bit off, RL-wise.

I don't have name for it yet, but wasn't sure how much you wanted to tie it in to messiah or if you wanted to use it as a lead in.

However, I was thinking that it is about time for a temporal issues to move out into the open. To date we have only been casually mentioning them in our RP's. I think that it is time to set the stage, for messiah or something like it.

Messiah doesn't have to incorporate main temporal issues at all, really, unless you want it too. I have a pretty strong plot lined up for it, just a number of different things need to happen first, including the end of Clairmont's gathering and my story Shadow of Orion. This temporal RP of yours could take place ICly before, during, or even after Messiah if you wanted, although I would prefer before or during just for sanity's sake.

And yes, Temporal issues need to come into the forefront. If you look through certain posts of mine in Shadows of Orion (I'll link them below), something happened to my Temporal Guard which somewhat erased the organization from existence.

However, I have a new Temporal team lined up and ready for this RP, if that's the route you want to take. It's really up to you. It could be a tie-in for Messiah, or it could be a completely seperate thread. I figure that between the Civil War, and now the upcoming Messiah, that I've drug you and Clairmont through some intense RP's. If you want to grab me by the collar and pull me along for this one I'd be willing.

I have had temporal team for awhile, but I have never worked who the bad guys are really, and I am thinking that this RP should set the stage as to who they are and what they are up too.

I have been reading Shadows the Orion but am only a little ways in

Have any ideas? You, me, and Clairmont (if he ever decides to post haha) could just post up some and we'll decide which one(s) is/are the best.

I have been trying to decide one the following

1. There is a war in the future and one side is trying to alter the past.

2. A shadowy organization from the future is trying to manipulate the past to serve their own agenda.

3. While experimenting with time travel there was an accident that changed the time

I am open to more idea though, currently leaning more to option 1

Or we could do the terminator 2 approach. The future sucks, so someone in the future comes back to change it to make it better, only for the unexpected to occur.

As for the options, I like 1 as you do. 3, on the other hand, has already happened in Steel Butterfly cannon. Something happened. No more Temporal Guard. Whole new agency. Whole new people.

I like the T2 idea, the only question is what has happened to create this horrible future?

is it one nation, two nations, or all three that have been left in this horrible state?

I think whatever we pick all three would be best. It would force us ICly to work together, even if OOCly it's obvious that we will.

I don't know what you have planning, but a second war in the Orion could be used as the catalyst for the horrible event.

Ok, this is what I have planned for Messiah:

The current situation in Orion, brought on by the events of Shadow of Orion, is that the future of the Empire is very unclear. Emperor Bivens carried a massive debt because of all the reconstruction spending, so the Empire is left poor and politically torn. One side wants the Empire to continue as it always have, believing that the ship will right itself given the right leadership. Apakoh, however, thinks that the Empire’s days are over, and wants to secede from it entirely with the two planets that are loyal to him.

In the meantime, Gabriel Graves (from Realm of the Risen II) has become a sort of champion of the lower class on the planet Steel Butterfly. As the Lords of Orion gather to argue the future of the sector, Gabriel openly talks in the low sector of revolution and democracy.

While this is all going on, the Dominion of Barheim, a highly religious cult-nation on the border of the Orion Sector who has been expanding their dominion continuously over the last ten years, decides to invade Orion space, ultimately landing on the planet Bivens and winning a victory against the Imperial military. Barheim’s second-in-command is rumored to have extensive cybernetic enhancements, and their military is becoming more and more cybernetically enhanced as well.

Rei Warheit, sensing the danger this poses to the Empire, which is already falling apart from the inside, goes to find Alexei, hoping that the genetically-enhanced hero can be a sort of military messiah against Barheim’s second-in-command. However, Gabriel, seeing himself as a messiah of the non-human population in Orion, begins his revolution, making a strange alliance with Barheim to give him military credibility.

Basically, there will be four sides to the war. Apakoh’s, the Imperial Military’s, Gabriel’s, and Barheim’s. I want it to be bigger and better than the Civil War, but different at the same time. Does any of this fit with what you have planned?

Yeah actually it does.

What I am thinking that the deputy director of the Tribunal has been hungry for power for some time, and has been people into place to an eventual coupe. When the eventual meltdown occurs in the Orion sector Tappee will be dragged into to conflict.

The deputy director will see this as an opportunity and make her move. However, she will not be entirely successful, and Jade will escape. But Tappee will land up being spill into two, with the deputy director on one side and Jade on the other. Both sides will claim to the legitimate government of Tappee, with the military picking sides. What happen would be the each side will try to create alliances with different faction in the Orion war to give them the edge.

Now I have planned that a super weapon was created some time in the far future but was hidden somewhere in the past. While the war is going on the different faction could also be trying to find it.

Allying the deputy director with Barheim/Gabriel and then allying Jade with General Valkare and the remnants of the Empire would prove interesting.

...now where's Clairmont?

I sent him the link, but I don not think that he has been for a few days

Allying the deputy director with Barheim/Gabriel and then allying Jade with General Valkare and the remnants of the Empire would prove interesting.

What we could do with this RP is start creating the ground work of these alliance (Deputy Director and Barhim), and introducing any new characters.

Perhaps, although that all could take place within Messiah.

True

I would like to introduce more of the temporal elements into this RP.

Where one side is setting event into motion while the other side is trying to contain the damage, and few characters from the present get swept up in it.

Ya...I mean it's really up to you. There doesn't have to be a big tie-in other than using the same characters, or it could be a really big tie-in. I don't know how you want to do this exactly.

I think that we may have to send out a search party here for Clairmont soon.

I have come up with the basic premise for the RP, I am currently working on a rough outline. but I will post the details when I have everything together

Yes, if Esthar and Valkare eat any more lunch they're probably going to get fat lol.

And that sounds good. I wait with baited breath.

What I have been thinking is that this is going to be an adventure RP which will take place after the Ruins of Lagacy. A team will be sent in to investigate the the distress call from the mining colony. Once there they will follow clues which will cause them to get caught in middle of the temporal war.

How does this sound?

Sounds admirable. Do you want this before or during Messiah? It depends what characters I use.

Sorry for being away guys, I hope you got my TG's and noticed the new post I made. Acquiring a new car and extra shit to worry about at work last week. Anyways, checking in again every day now. So, what have you guys been thinking about? Me and Tappee have been churning ideas regarding three RP's, one with the temporal element, a kind of joint adventure RP and one more cloak & dagger style RP with Sigmund Xavier from Tappee and Stewart Trent from my side being the main participants.

I'd personally like to keep time travel apart from the RP that will involve me fighting again within Orion Sector, and rather consider a separate time travel RP. Btw Tappee, do you think we could merge the Sigmund/Stewart with your internal strife and Steel's 2nd civil war thing? Also, I was thinking we could also involve the 4th Imperium's history of the disappeared 1st and 2nd Imperium's somehow.

HE'S ALIVE!!!!

I tend to agree with my zombie friend here. I think a time travel RP would be awsome, and although writing time stuff is hard, I think us three could definately pull it off.

The idea of merging what Clairmont talked about and Messiah sounds good.

My thoughts for this RP would be not so much traveling through time, to start, but have people from the future meddle with event in the present.

I want this RP to eastablish who Temporal characted are going to be, and to give some foreshadowing for Messiah.

I know that both Steel amd I have a few, but I would like to introduce the bad guys

I do have a rought outline for a adventure/ cloak and dagger style I am going to intergrate the two

Yes yes, alive and well. Anyhoo... :D

I think limited time travel element might work in conjunction with the coming RP. I was mainly thinking about avoiding too over hopping through history and the future etc. Since we talked some initial ideas about the Sigmund/Stewart RP Tappee, I think we could make Sigmund disappear as a prelude to your internal strife, and Stewart + company coming to find out what the hell is going on. Rough and sketchy but we could work on that?

I was also thinking that since I got to mention the Tacitus artifact in the current political meeting, we could involve some sort of expedition and a resulting big discovery that could affect the course of events.

I had tossed the Idea of Sigmund going missing, but could not think of a reason why any of Steels character would go looking for him.

I think with a little big of backstory on that aspect I'd be able to think of something. I'm working with, I want to say, 18 characters so far for Messiah. I'm sure I could find at least one would would want to go looking for some reason.

Or if nothing else, why couldn't he just get lost in the Orion Sector, or even in Barheim-controlled space?

Either way I'm very interested in both the RP you are planning and Messiah. I think both have the potential to be great in their own way. Frankly, I haven't done an epic like Messiah since my Civil War, and I really do miss it. That was probably the most fun I've ever had on NS. I hated to see it end. That being said, I'm not aware of anyone who has written an effective and intelligent temporal story. We could be pioneers with the genre.

I want this RP to eastablish who Temporal characted are going to be, and to give some foreshadowing for Messiah.

So does that mean you want this to take place before Messiah, both in RL in IC cannon? I was kinda hoping that Messiah, which is now over two years in planning, would get under way before summer is out.

Here is the idea that I am thinking about for this RP. This is only a rough idea, and more then likely will change.

Sigmund while investigating the disappearance of a friend goes missing; his last contact was some where in the Orion sector near Barheim-controlled space. A team is dispatched to find out what happened to him. Along the way team find that there is more going on here then what they originally thought.

For the temporal element I don’t want to give to much away but in the end there will be a space battle involving force from the both the present and in the future (the Tappee space Navy, a clandestine organization, and a few ships from the future) or a super weapon.

What I am thinking is that as far as all sides are concerned the other has some sort of new weapon and will start accusing each other of hiding a super weapon. We can set this final battle in a place were it could belong to any group.

It could be a very short RP

It could be a very short RP

Don't cut it short for my sake, though.

It could be something that's happening at the same time as Messiah, or it could be before. And that could apply to both when we're writing it, or what it actually is for the characters.

I like the idea of it starting before Messiah but ending just after Messiah start.

It would allow us to introduce characters and develop them a bit before Messiah starts.

The main bud guy in this RP is a character I have wanted to bring out into the open for some time, and would like to get him started before Messiah so that I have a good foundation.

On that note, then, you can start this RP at any time. I'm coming to the close of Shadow of Orion here soon, so I'll be able to focus all of my NS time on this RP before Messiah.

sounds good, I am going to touch up the outline to reflect the changes. Then we just have to wait for Clairmont and then we can get things rolling.

Aye, and finish up this summit thing with some sort of alliance arrangement reached.

Sounds all right Tappee. I'll be thinking about my own temporal element somehow as well as figure out what kind of contignent would I supply for Stewart to go and find Sigmund. I was thinking I might start out a side plot related to the Tacitus artifact at the same time and work it out in conjunction during this coming RP and Messiah. Eventually culminating in something wicked. Details to follow...maybe.

Yes, lets wrap up the political chitter chatter. Lunch and public signing of initial agreements based on what we discussed about IC.

We could link the Tacitus artifact to the super weapon, I do not know what Clairmont has planned though.

As to the political chatter I will post here soon. (Been busy here at work, I just discover that one of vendor has been ripping us off a large sum of money, so I have deal with the fallout from that, and most likely will be called into a meeting or two)

I've finished working on the outline, I am going to write the opening post and have them up either tonight, or tomorrow

I've finished working on the outline, I am going to write the opening post and have them up either tonight, or tomorrow

Good deal man.

Sounds good. I was thinking that the expedition crew that goes out to explore the star systems marked in the Tacitus could find an old 1st Imperium Naval Base or something and discover some kind of terrible weapon which would change the balane of power utterly in the favor of anyone who posesses it. During the course of finding this, whatever it is, the expedition would also discover lots of interesting things regarding the 1st and 2nd Imperium's and how they relate to our three nations.

In addition, I was thinking some bad stuff could happen back at the Freehold. Since heavy insurgency is still commonplace on the border worlds, I could work out many different options based on that.

So it begins,

If you did not figure it out the Emma Greison story line is set almost 300 years in the future. I plan to tie together with the main story line near the end of the RP

Shit...I completely missed that it started...lol

EDIT: Because it's in International Incidents! Ah-hah! Now I don't feel as bad. I thought that I somehow just hadn't noticed a new thread by Tappee. Little did I know you hid it.

Anyhow, my characters are going to be Agent Joseph Frost and Director James Pierce from the Temporal Guard (both were in the Civil War RP). Two things I want to deal with in this RP, if possible, are the fact that the Resistance tricked Tappee into the first war, and that in current-time Orion, the Temporal Guard does not exist. Therefore, I want something to happen in this RP that will erase it from existance. I want Joseph Frost waking up as a teacher somewhere or something, never knowing what would have happened had certain things in his life happened just a bit differently.

okay I will see what I can do about writing those two things in.

I assume that 300 yrs in the future that it might be common knowledge that the resistance trick Tappee into getting into the war.

I assume that Nick Frost will be your agent operating in the present. As for Pierce do you want him in the present timeline, or the future time line or both?

I was thinking I might start up a side plot in the Specter's RP regarding either the 1st Imperium superweapon our guys could find during the Messiah thread or a future side plot about how are things going roughly 500 years into the future in my nation. What do you guys think? Ideas and suggestions most welcome.

Well this RP was planned to be centered around a super weapon, but I never considered its origins

Joseph Frost will be in the present, yes :p And Pierce will be his director, staying in the Temporal Guard headquarters which is kinda "lost" in subspace. It could be in the future, sure, but for the most part it will be basically "beyond" time. If needbe, Pierce can go to the future or present for plot devices.

Just dropping in to say hi to Tappee, Clairmont, and Steel Butterfly. Good to see some names that I still know.

wow this give me a nostalgic feeling, I can not remember the last time that we all posted in one thread, I wonder if the end is near. lol

Hey Steel I was able to come up with a way to come up with a way to bring in all the temporal stuff you had asked.

I was thnking that if someone in the present your were to be in the begining stages of temporal research, and that research was destoryed in might change the future.

My plan is for the your Temporal research facility to be destoryed, though it may be classified in the present, I don't think that it would be too hard for someone from the future to know where it is, I will leave the effect of how it affects your timeline up to you of course.

Assuming that this is ok with you, this is how I plan to write it in the story, I don't want to give too much away.

That works for me. Really for my characters, and my Temporal Guard in general, I want to focus on the theme that these guys truly have the best of intentions, but even so, they shouldn't be playing god with the timeline. They aren't "bad guys" by any means, but their actions, while backed by good intentions, end up "bad."

No need to apologize. just didn't want you to think i was blowing it off

Response coming soonish, sorry for delay. I'll be posting touch up about the trip onboard the stealth boat and pre-arrival stuff next so Tappee can post the arrival and Steel can get underway as well.

Currently thinking furiously how to create a side-story about the Tacitus and possible temporal stuff.

odds are that I am not going to be on for the rest of the night, my best friend just got kicked in the balls harder then anyone I know. His girlfriend of six year just randomly broke up with him, then when he called his mom to tell her of the breakup she told him that she had just seperated from his father. So if good to say that he is a bit of mess right now, so I am going to meet him for coffee after work. I apologize if I am not overly active for the next few days

Hey trust me I know more than anyone about RL getting in the way of NS, but do you guys have any updates on when the next post will be coming...or are you waiting on me?

I am going to try to have a post together tomorrow sometime

At this station, there will be no record of Sigmund, but someone from some sort of criminal organization will have some information

Do you have any ideas how our guys could find these crooks? In addition, are there plans for any shooting/violence going to happen on this station?

Yes the plan is too find someone who help Sigmund get on to the the station, when that happens there will be some shooting going on.

What do you want my guys to do? Catch them? Not catch them? Kill them? Arrest them?

What do you want my guys to do? Catch them? Not catch them? Kill them? Arrest them?

Catch, but not kill, Kyle will need to question them for info. they can be armed/ not armed however you like.

Any of the shooter can be killed at will. more can pop up if need be.

THe general rule for engaging NPC is rather open you can decide how they are armed and how they react. I will let you know if they need to taken alive.

I got the two people who killed the man Kyle was questioning for you. One's kneecap is blown to hell and the other's now missing a thumb and an index finger, but they're still alive if not well. ;)

As far as the other shooters, I'll leave that up to you and (hopefully) Clairmont.

I am going to hold off on positing for to give Clairmont a chance to get in there, I don't want to leave him behind.

We're still waiting...huh?

Replied. Once again sorry for the delay. Bank stuff, computer stuff, work stuff and car stuff :/

Haha hope everything works out. Life seems to catch up with people all at once. Stuff piles up

Replied. Once again sorry for the delay. Bank stuff, computer stuff, work stuff and car stuff :/


No Worries, stuff happens. I am going to try to get a post up over my lunch break

Sorry for the delay I have been busy with work and other stuff.

As for the last attacker, he can be killed or escape either way I do not care

The girl in my posts is in no way one of "my characters." Feel free to question her aboard one of your ships. Actually I encourage it, since you, Tappee, obviously know more about the story than I do haha. She's the last one alive it seems. Have at it.

Sorry about not posting I have been real busy with work, and unfortantly I don't see my self getting to post for another day or too.

Hey guys I'm pretty much stumped on what to post. Feel free to go ahead.

I can put something together when I get the time. Incredibly crappy shift at work, plus being too thrilled about my new ride have reduced my available time a lot.

Busy schedule then :D 'Em wicked women end up stealing all our time :P

Tappee, are we all on the same ship or different vessels?

I would assume that the team would all be on the same ship just to make things easier.

Just to confirm, are we aboard the stealth ship Nixon and my team used on their trip from Birhat? If so, I can formulate a post pretty quickly.

Hey sorry about not posting lately...real busy until the end of this week. Then things should lighten up a bit at least

No worries, we all understand

Yup, no panic mate. You post when you get the time.

I'll be posting today if I can think of something worthy

I'll be posting today if I can think of something worthy

Obviously that hasn't happened. Again, I apologize.

To give my lack of activity a bit of an explanation, I recently got promoted at work. I'm now the Chief of Operations of two "Wireless Zone" retail stores. This is huge for two reasons: 1. I'm still in college, and when in school, only work 3 days a week. 2. It tripled my salary.

That being said, I now have a much bigger workload, a boss to prove to that he made the right move by promoting really a part-time worker to such a position, and the promise of new video and computer surveilance in the near future to monitor employees. Now that's for the sales reps, but since I'm now the boss of my old managers, it would look silly for me to get "caught" doing the things they aren't supposed to do...like browse the internet instead of working lol.

Congrats on the promotion. I know what it is like to be busy, at work are have had the best month in the companies history in what has historically been the slowest month. I have been tapped for any thing creative too.

Sorry everyone that I have not been around the past few month, life been really busy. I want get things rolling again, but understand if the rest you are too busy as well.

Not at all mate. Lets get things rolling again.

So...how is everyone?

busy as always
