Hey, Can I join in?

The Kldath'u Star Dominion would love to feed upon both the Dark Eternal Side and the Eternals...
The Scandinvans
31-10-2006, 06:29
You may, but first define what kind of feeding such as blood, energy, life energy, etc.
Deatharon
31-10-2006, 06:31
Life energy,

We are a parasitic race seeking to feed upon all living creatures. The idea of making a member of the elder race a host would be a worthy goal to the Kldath’u

While, no offense that is impossible as the Eternals physical from is only made up of the corporal form that they which they prefer their ancient forms which is a humanoid form. Yet, the reason that they cannot be possessed by a physical forms if pure energy and also even if you borrow into their physical forms you cannot rely link to their mind because of the fact that it is still energy in a sense.

What about the slave creatures? We could feed upon them and if their are trillions of them who could resist?

Well, the mutants you should not touch due to a number of experiments basically making their genetic pattern not able to contradict their masters even if their mind wanted to, but for the common run of the mill slave sure, yet know they cannot operate Eternal or Dark Eternal ships due to a number of genetic and energy locks used.

How's my part in the thread looking? Just sorta playing the waiting game, and build up my part of the counter invasion finally. Also should note when I finally do act at the proper moment, will have a huge Host of Intracel as part of the counterinvasion, something held back ever since I left NS last.

Oh, and I still have the counter agent from one of the older threads still in my arsenal, still unused to this day.
The Scandinvans
31-10-2006, 07:25
Well, it looks well enough and your part in the counter invasion of yours shall do quite well in the thread.

By the way if you are thinking of the crystal or another device it will not work on the soldiers are now instead of a mental and religious link they now have a genetic link that forces them to obey the Dark Eternals and to lose this gene will cause them either to go insane or die.
Gaian Ascendancy
31-10-2006, 07:48
Mind if we act then from a standpoint of anticipation, of over ninety years of anticipation of this moment? I.e., the crystal has been reworked through angelic ingenuity, and Washu's mad science? =^^=

I'm trying to also wait for if others will come into the thread first before I just jump in with my rather huge counterinvasion.

Essentially, the counterinvasion will preceeed the Fourth Great Expansion, but I need to wait on when the Elder One appears to really do it, since I dont want to do the whole counterinvasion as more than (really and actually) background plot to your thread.

After I'll do a thread that more encompases my view of the same events, establishing the results essentially.
The Scandinvans
31-10-2006, 07:54
It would cause the regular slaves to go into disarray, but the mutants being linked basically to a Dark Eternal would still fight on working on their last order.

By the way the Eldest One is a demi-god form normal Eternals and the Highest One, the Eternal god, created the Eldest One first.

As for the thread sounds like a sound good idea.

Dark plottings are always amusing to the servants of the Architect of Fate, and Remiel has a personal interest in seeing the "Ascended" beings brought low :PChron, this is not exactly a war where the Eternals are not directly involved and the powers that are being unleashed are destroying galaxies, beyond that of the gods created by man, and with vast sheer numbers of soldiers numbering in the trillions. What I am basically am saying that in this war the eldest and by far the most powerful of the Eternals are involved and this fight is not exactly one any of the younger races or the gods created by them.
Chronosia
31-10-2006, 14:52
All of course based upon your racial premise of being ascendant and having convinced yourself that such grand power and scale are available to you. We are the sons of Chaos, Remiel himself is their chosen instrument and Scion. Amongst the mortal races the Chronosians stand as those who would shatter false gods :P The fact that you don't possess trillions aside.

Needless to say, your artful pretensions don't scare me, or my nation :)

Just keep in mind I'm about to break most of the conventional rules of war around here when I finally 'act' here. So whatever else is to be done by other nations around here, just keep in mind only one thing really..

...the Ascendancy is going to destroy the Dark Eternals, and have the excessive forces to do it. At least down to an organized realm it will be. The stars will be outshone by brigher points of light in the excesses not to be seen again after this event.

This is our last act from the Eternal War, so might wana keep a healthy space. =^^= (..yes, yes. I know not to actually kill any Dark Eternals per say, but we can ruin a realm just the same without needing to commit true killing anyway.)

Just keep in mind the model I used at the start of the Eternal War as a reference. =^^=

(OOCRL - I really wana get this out of my system before going into pacifist mode for the most part, so bear with moi. =^^=;;;; )

I'd love to play a small part.

The Edan Chapter of the Eternal Watch stands ready to heed the call of the Eternals.

I've got about 280 Knights who should be done their training by now. Do you have any links or info that would give me a better idea of the knights capabilities?
The Scandinvans
01-11-2006, 04:19
That would be a good idea as it would provide some more of the story from the front line. Also, lets us say that since the Eternal Empire is losing many of its greatest hosts of soldiers all chapters of the Order are being mustered. As well, let us increase the size of your chapter to about 5000 which now includes people who had recruited and knights from a number of different chapters who were not yet experienced enough to be sent to the front line. Further, the character you rped joining the order is now a well known knight who is considered in high regard and shall soon be a master.

By the way here is the link with some more detail in both the IC and OOC: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=504268
Tidan
01-11-2006, 05:33
Alrighty.

Just so I'm clear, how much of my chapter is made of more recruits from my nation and how much is made up of other chapters.

Also are the other chapters human or other aliens? Just want to know what to expect.
The Scandinvans
01-11-2006, 05:44
Okay, your chapter is made up of about three quarters of people of your nation and also of a quarter of humans from planets both inside and outside of the Eternal Empire.

The other chapters are made up of a majority human and the rest are human like as the gene was only designed for genes of an ancient race that was very similar to modern humans so much so that humans are the closest people to them in these modern time.

Further, the higher leadership is made up of a large part of Eternals.

Tidan
01-11-2006, 06:54
If you want to set up a battlefield for the Edan chapter to fight in that would be good.

Just had a few questions left...

Are there Eternals in my chapter? If so I'm not sure I know enough to accurately rp one. If they are just the leadership giving orders from orbit or something that is ok, but I'd prefer it if I only had to control the tidani and humans. If there are a few in my chapter you could control them parallel to my actions.

How does the Eternal Watch fight? Are they like the Jedi from SW:II&III, fighting amongst the army? That is what is in my minds eye right now.
Chronosia

So for the uninitiated: what is going on exactly?What is going on exactly is that the Dark Eternals, the corrupted brethren of the Eternals, are now launching an invasion to fulfill their long time plans, which only I and Gaian know. As well, this if after the Wars of Destruction thread in which the Dark Eternals and Gaians waged a long war that was a Pyrrhic victory in a number of ways. If you want more details or a link just ask.

There are three Eternals in your chapter and one is the commander from above, literally, and the other two fight alongside the Order in an extent using their powers, but not enough to kill those surrounding them.

As well, the Order members fight with the skill and speed of the Jedi, but they fight as their own unit, not as the commander, more as champions. Also, they are stronger then the Jedi and use of a force that summons the energy around and use that in a number of powerful attacks.

My latest post should alude to this, and if anyone reveals such without the damdest of good reasons, it wont matter anyway. Put in a hook that should really screw up any idea the DE could ever counter the counterinvasion.

I think I can figure it out. I'll have some fun with it however it goes.

I was thinking that the chapter would be taken from Edan to where they were needed. I thought Ejiot was pretty out of the way since you were only worried about piracy and not invasion.

I thought a ship would come to collect them and bring them to battles.

04-11-2006, 08:40
I think there is a little confusion Scan. Ejiot is the world where the monestary was, my character is named Amara. Not a big deal, just thought I would clear that up.

I decided to use Amara to test out some powers I wanted to give to another character later. She will eventually be able to control the wind and storms. (like Storm from X-men) I hope no one minds, but I wanted to do this later anyway and I have a feeling I'll need more than just jediish powers to survive whats coming.

If I get GodMody using it later please tell me, thats not what I'm going for, just want a hero character which I usually lack.

As for my nation, assuming this is FT,

Alright.

1) Can I get a basic overview of the war, what is happening and maybe where its going, and how I can fit in?

2) Explain the Eternals and Dark Eternals a bit, if you don't mind?

3) Any special powers involved, like magic, etc etc?
The Scandinvans
07-11-2006, 03:27
Answers:

1. The war is currently going against the Eternals and the current path is leading to the final assault on the Eternal home world where the war shall be set for the next stage and decide a part of it. If you want you can take sides, hope to gain territory, or just do whatever the hell you want.

2. The Eternals and Dark Eternals are in essence the same species that have evolved little in the past billion years, due to being beings of pure energy. As well, they are possibly the most ancient of beings that have constantly stayed in the universe and are also extremely advanced beings that in the per say cannot be killed in the standard sense due to the fact that they are pure energy and can reform.

3. Well, saying it they are far more powerful then the Ancients, Alterans, from Stargate.
Telros
07-11-2006, 03:30
Okay, how does this sound. Let's say, one battle between the Eternals and Dark Eternals happened, earlier of course, and a message for help was sent. Then, some time later, the Confederacy recieved the message and sent a fleet to aid you. They come out near your homeworld, and...well let's go from there, shall we? Most likely, since the Dark Eternals are basically "evil" and the Eternals "good', they would aid the Eternals.

Then when the assault happens, they bring in large amounts of forces, etc etc. I won't make a post as I have to go to bed soon, but tomorrow, expect one.

Ok perfect. I can run with that. I'll do the mission in stages so that you have lots of time to add anything or do any responding by the DEs. Also dont hesitate to correct me if I do anything wrong regarding the Dark/Eternals. I don't mind at all and will change anything like that. I plan on having some fun though, so I may get carried away and since I don't know a lot about you I may run into trouble.

Telros, I just was getting to your rp when I noticed when you said that your fleet was above the Eternal home world, one problem the shield around tthe entire system would kill any person who was not born immortal, even those who later became immortal. Yet, a quick fix would be to put on the outside of it where a good deal of the fighting shall take place and for now the Dark Eternals have not began the attack on the Eternal home world and now they are only outside the Eternal home system.

I just remembered about watching a science program on meteors that were made of rubble piles, and the fact there so much stellar debri just in our own solar system alone.

A loose, badly held together moonlet, destroyed with powerful weapons makes for an effective tactic, even against most kinds of FT superweaponry out there, since it takes time to deal with this kind of mess, no matter what.

Throw it outisde of a standard Oort cloud field, and you can guess the magnitude of the mess it makes.

Sounds interesting, I may get involved. However, I am here for another reason.

Due to several factors and reasons, I have shelved the Confederacy and made another FT nation. But, this does not mean that all that has been posted is null and void, nor shall I not continue rping it. My idea is to have it rped out until the end of this battle and then the Dark Eternals can launch an assault on Confederacy space and conquer it. Then I can insert my new faction into it.

Sound good?

P.S. I did this because my other nation felt too wanky.
The Scandinvans
10-11-2006, 20:09
Just to make it clear to everybody the Eternals are a very small group who just lead the Eternal Empire and the armies they deploy are made up mostly of volunteer forces that are mortal races, but they come from a very vast assortment of races.

So let us a large fleet that survived the end of the war comes into your space and install themselves as the 'lost' gods of your religion and then enslave your people for the greater part.

After that, if you want your space liberated just send a message to the Eternal Empire and help shall come as a small repayment for your mighty act of aide during the last war.

I have no problem with this, as the Sphere estimates put the invasion zone at 90% overrun within a two year period after the Counterattack Waves finish. Obviously the Sphere even with Angelic Host support architecture can't get absolutely everything, so DE groups of survivors in even fleet form is expected for a good century after the primary war.

Wouldn't be suprised to see DE assets during the Dark Ascendancy war eventually. ;)

In any case, I need to move the story along here since all my rping is anchored to this event, so tomorrow I need to begin the Counterattack. Hope making hundreds of thousands of galaxies change hands will look as real as intended.

I just can't do any more posts beyond this otherwise. Short of a couple more filler types that I've been overdoing up to know. =^^=

Well, once you get into the Eternal central galaxies is the only place where you will encounter it to a heavy degree as in the rest of Eternal space it would take to many resources and need so much labor even the Dark Eternal Empire would not try to build on that scale.

That's why, considering most of known universal space is run by NPCs anyway, that liberating vast swaths of galaxies will then be turned over to the locals, whether under the Confederacy Alliance in my Sphere realm after the Fourth Expansion, or simply to their own local goverments/whatever ect..

It is all a war of liberation after all, and it's pointless to expand an empire that acts all totalitarian and all that barbarian trash. Over this kind of scale, intergalactic trade and very loose politics more than any true brute force, no matter how huge a military, wanked or otherwise, it could be.

This is more about removing the DE threat more than mass amounts of territorial gain. Even the entire Sphere is more a loose coalition than a true empire really. The catch is the Fold drive, delivering all trade and supplies quickly, and maintaining communications through the Hikari Network.

Just add a whole bunch of engendered trust, and that's far more effective than military patrols ever could, at least in my mind. =^^=

Sounds good and like a decent idea which will work out in the end. But, I am considering that a number of the most cunning Dark Eternals will remain in their former territories working behind the scenes which could result in them rebuilding the Dark Eternal Empire to a significant extent. For example let us say after the end of this war what happened was that you destroyed by far a vast majority of their fleet, but they still have a huge army either waiting or in cryo on a number of worlds that could be reused to start the rebuilding of the Dark Eternal Empire. They will transport this army by using a relatively unused teleportation system similar to that of the Eternals, but was banned after a failed revolt during the very early years of the Dark Eternal Empire.

No prob there, since I put in a long term time line for the invasion to continue for the most part, with everything ending up sorta like what happened to the Imperials after SW:RotJ, being all broken up and all that, having a few leaders come back here and there, but never really at the same level of power as before.

After the war meanwhile, I'll be doing a few threads to begin strengthening the self-supporting base of the Confederacy Alliances, using ST tech as a base. (Kinda always wondered how ST could be like if it was done over a span of galaxies instead of a single one, so that'll be my experiment as such.)

Meanwhile, just have to depict a realistic enough invasion over an unrealistic area of space (even though all of that area of space in the Universe is still real in the end,) and work out where the tragedies are. Already put in one for my single battle thread already. Won't be the only one.

That should all work as most of the Dark Eternal slaves are basically just beings kept under Dark Eternal through fear and by a religion set up by the Dark Eternals. Yet, a number of slave races have actually benefited in status by the Dark Eternals as setting them up as rulers and agents as they needed free will to act. Yet, the slave warriors have been genetically altered to serve the Dark Eternals and they will proably enter a period of hibernation awaiting for a Dark Eternal to issue a command if they lose their connection to them.

Oooooookay, the ol forgotten enemy bit always seems to work. Now just need to get to that part. Would also like my forces get more in contact with other nation forces in the thread besides our two. That or start a new 'part 2' thread so others can join in.

Despite the wanking, a good story can come out of this with a bit more participation.

That would be a wise move and as for the new thread I want the defense of the Eternal home world to happen first before a new thread is made, but for now good night.

I have just thought up a very good starter of the final battle.

Kewl, though I'll do the war as a long term back ground thing after the DE fully crack. I need to depict how long it can take to conduct a war over this kind of scale, even after the DE are technically 'beaten', so the ten NS year time period I set should be proper for this.

Probably will take that long for the formal upgrading of the new Superclusters to Sphere standards, as well as introducing the Confederacy StarFleet (ST non-cannon/cannon tech..) so the Sphere will be busy as all heaven even after the Eternals... well.. can't say too much there yet.. =^^=
