On the 22nd of August the Mages revealed themselves,thus creating a massive political chaos. The know politicians and dictators feared the loss of their powers,so with the help of a few renegade Mages they dumped them. The people soon looked at the Mages with fear and hatred. Wars have started to clear the world of them, forming a union between the countries. Thus the Syndicate was formed. The Mages dissappeared and the Syndicate took over world goverment. Two years after the dissappearance of the Mages, Jacob Theorus found out a way to reach lightspeed.With his invention,the conquering of the Universe began.

15 years after the Dissappearance

Already 12 planets are under control and 7 more are being terraformed. The Intergalactic Syndicate rules over everything. The people live poorly but in total negligance,none of the stands up wanting more.Of course every community has its flaws... These people stand up for a better life and they become Revolutionaries or Pirates of Space. They say that even the Mages still live,seeking out those who have untapped magical powers. Sadly most of these children are taken by the Syndicate's Gatherers and turned into Seekers.Souless killing machines, they're made to dispose of those who mean threat to the Syndicate. On the 14th of October a strange object fell onto the surface of planet Zephyr. When the Zephyrians went to see what it is,they found nothing.....except a crystal. One of them touched the crystal and it exploded in a giant ring of plasma that shooked the very foundation of the planet..A few days later when the plasma smoke subsided the ERT-301 satellite made a picture of the remains. The Syndicate watched the pictures with fear because in a 300km radius of the epicentre,everything was "infested" with crystals,that seemed to get bigger by the day. Some Zephyrians even say that they saw creatures lurking amongst the crystals,sometime taking away animals or even humans. They Syndicate moved quickly and closed the area,naming it the Crystal Wastelands.

A small team of soldiers* are being sent to the Crystal Wastelands. Each of them has a different reason for coming.Their mission: inspect the Wastelands,examine the crystals,dispose of hostile activity. Once they're in,there's no going back....

(STILL NEED MORE!!)

Fomorian - August 25, 2006 08:28 AM (GMT)
Can't wait :) You can have my help.

Denden666Piek - August 25, 2006 09:27 AM (GMT)
I can't promise anything, but I'll give it a shot.

Zay-el - August 25, 2006 10:46 AM (GMT)
What I have in mind is an FRPG,a forum-role-playing game. Still in? :)

I'm still in. As a matter of fact, can't this be part of Project Revolva?

Zay-el - August 25, 2006 12:29 PM (GMT)
GREAT IDEA!! :handjeklap:
That's why I need you people,you come up with magnificent ideas :D

Just a minor suggestion. :) Anyway, in that case, we already have 8 characters including personality and looks. I look forward to hearing more details about this.

BG&E Voyager - August 25, 2006 02:05 PM (GMT)
Sounds awesome! Count me in YARRR! :arr:

Zay-el - August 25, 2006 02:16 PM (GMT)
I don't have a straight plan yet,that's why I asked some of you to help me :P (and of course I wanted to see if anyone was interested ^_^ )

Denden666Piek - August 25, 2006 02:39 PM (GMT)
Okay then, we'll need to research this a bit, have all characters together with all the data. I'm going to work on Alexa's birthday present right now, so I'll check back later.

Zay-el - August 25, 2006 02:52 PM (GMT)
I'm waiting a letter from a friend of mine who once led a Silent Hill FRPG ;)
Take your time Denden,Alexa's birthday is far more important than a game :) ^_^

Denden666Piek - August 29, 2006 11:19 AM (GMT)
Now then, one of the first things we can do, is read up on forum RPG's. Wikipedia is a good source for this: Play-by-post gaming

Now we've established a few characters in the Project Revolva part one topic, except for abilities and skills. We need to know now whether we're gonna have a gamemaster or that we're gonna work together to make everyone progress smoothly. We need to establish rules and a world to play in.

Fomorian - August 29, 2006 12:35 PM (GMT)
I can take the world work.

Besides, I think that working together in keeping rules is a better thing.

Zay-el - August 29, 2006 12:42 PM (GMT)
Right :)

Its good to see that people are interested in this ^_^
QUESTION: The world should take place in the PAST,PRESENT or FUTURE?

BG&E Voyager - August 29, 2006 01:47 PM (GMT)
I like settings that have a combination: like Treasure Planet. So I would say future, but not the kind you would expect, a kinda quirky combination future.

Fomorian - August 29, 2006 02:45 PM (GMT)
Heh, we can mix Fantasy and Future in Present ;) This might be the best idea.

Denden666Piek - August 29, 2006 05:35 PM (GMT)
Final Fantasy mostly has fantasy mixed with futuristic technology, so I know all about that. My vote goes out to Fantasy/Magic and Future/Advanced Technology in Present.

But in the end, it means futuristic, so I'll vote Future in the poll. Just remember to keep the suggestions in mind. Also, as we change polls, you can keep the original post updated with all the collected data. I took the liberty of changing the topic's name, because this must become an official Revolva project.

I agree. Present or near future (i.e. 10-25 years from now) with aspects of fantasy.

I don't know if there's still need for help after all the people who have volunteered, but I'll offer. I'd rather help behind the scenes than participate, anyway ;)

Thanks,will do :D

Denden666Piek - August 31, 2006 03:37 PM (GMT)
Well, I think this would mean we'll have to make it near-future.

Zay-el - August 31, 2006 04:38 PM (GMT)
Okay,now we need the genre ;)

Fomorian - September 6, 2006 04:16 PM (GMT)
Here's my idea of the world.

QUOTE
In 2005, there was a mineral discovered in Europe - only in Europe, and in large numbers, mostly in Eastern and Northern Europe. One pound of that mineral gives as much energy, as twenty pounds of coal and twelve barrels of oil. Russia and Arabia lose their ruffs, because the best energy is produced now from North-Eastern European mineral, called etherium. Russian president decided to ally himself with Belarussian president, Iran ajatollah and Saudi Arabian king and attacked the countries of European Union (at first these are Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland and Greece) to take control of the etherium mines. Japan seized an opportunity and took control of the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin. USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and China decided to stay neutral.

Some scientists discovered, that a mix of oil, powdered coal and powdered etherium allows the one, who drank it, to increase the mind power. Thus was created the Order of Ether, which had divided into four Orders: The Order of Chaos (whose members - Berserkers - had the power over fire, ice and lightning), The Order of Life (whose members - Druids - had powers of healing and affecting body and plants), The Order of Metal (whose members - Mechanists - had power to control machines and easily produce even better technologies) and The Order of Mind (whose members - Mentats - had the power over mind).

The members of the Orders became merceneries on the pay of European Union and the alliance of Russia, Belarus, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Now, in 2007, a member of Mentats discovered a group of spaceships, heading towards Earth...

A member of Mechanists discovered the danger of the terrific computer virus, which can destroy all the Internet and the machines...

A member of Druids discovered portal in Stonehenge, leading to the world of Faerie...

A member of Berserkers discovered the coming awakening of the fire, ice and storm demons...

And the only hope of the conflicted planet is a small group of soldiers of fortune*, who meet one, faithful day, when all this dangers slowly come true...

*I'm speaking here, of course, about those, who'll play that RPG :)


What do you think of it?

Zay-el - September 6, 2006 05:45 PM (GMT)
Its great! :handjeklap:
I'll have mine ready by tommorow. :)
Okay,for now,this will be the story.Anyone can alter this story,post your version than we will combine them into the real story.

Ziolek - September 6, 2006 06:01 PM (GMT)
Ok I'm in. My proposition is DomZ discover new planet that is very atractive, so they quickly start invasion. This planet is called Earth B)

Zay-el - September 6, 2006 06:04 PM (GMT)
Well.....it surely is an easy to remember story ^_^
Before/while/after the Hillys invasion?

Ziolek - September 6, 2006 06:17 PM (GMT)
It's only basement for a history. But I can work on it if you want :P

It's way too farfetched. The USA stayed neutral? Nobody's going to believe it ;)

Seriously, though. I think it's a pretty interesting premise. Even if it doesn't get used for this, I think you should make something of it!

(Is this where we throw out suggestions for worlds?)

Fomorian - September 7, 2006 01:41 PM (GMT)
Maybe a few stories...

And I think we should store as many world & story ideas in here, and then organize a poll, in which the community will decide, which stays.

(My fingers went dead after writing this because last time just when I was about to send it,the PC(stupid trash can) shut down :D )

Fomorian - September 7, 2006 04:46 PM (GMT)
You added some from the Dreamfall, didn't you (The Syndicate... :D)? That's a good idea still. Good job, Zay-el! :handjeklap:

Can't help it,that game made a REALLY big impression on me :D

Jagori - September 7, 2006 06:30 PM (GMT)
Hey yeah, maybe we could have a couple going. Each could have a 'gamemaster' and follow its own story.

QUOTE
Earth: November 9, 2006.
No magic, and no fancy technology.  As far as anyone knows, it's just a totally normal day.  They're half right; there's nothing unusual about today. 

The catch is that a usual day isn't what most people would consider "normal" if they knew all that was going on.  Invisible to unassisted human eyes, right alongside everything people can see and feel, is another type of existence, where things exist without a physical form.  The closest thing that the average person could picture is a shadow without an object to cast it.  Humans can't detect or interact with them, so day-to-day life is largely unaffected by them.  Every once in a while, though, you can catch a glimpse of them.  I'm sure you've all been alone, looking at something, and out of the corner of your eye you'd swear you saw something move, but when you look, nothing's there.  That's about the extent of contact with them - most people will never see one of these 'shades' in their lifetime.

However, they can see us.  And quite a few of them are rather unhappy about their lack of a physical form.  Add that to the fact that they can see us and everything we do, and many of them even become rather bitter about the fact.  They'd do anything to 'break through' to our world in an attempt to exist physically.

And in a couple days, they're going to get a chance.  Some scientists have recently discovered what they believe is a new type of quantum subspace*, and have been unknowingly weakening the barrier between the two worlds in what they think is a harmless experiment.  If they go too far, the floodgates could be opened, and - well, nobody knows what exactly will happen, since neither side has ever been able to interact with the other.  You can bet, though, that all the jealous Shades aren't too concerned with people's well-being.

However, some of these Shades aren't keen on what might happen, and want to prevent it.  Through the weak barrier, one of them tried to give a warning to one of the lab assistants.  The assistant mentioned it to his superiors, but was quickly fired when he tried to stop the experiment.  Discredited and labeled as crazy, most people ignore him, but he's gathered a small group who will actually listen to him.  Having had similar experiences in the past, this group** believes the assistant, and sets out to try to stop the experiment before it's too late.


Alright. What you all think?

*don't ask me what this means. I don't actually know.

** I have absolutely no idea who these people are. Maybe you guys can help out ;)

[edit] Oh yeah, just noticed Zay-El's. I must have skimmed over it. Interesting premise. It sounds like it'd make a really good FPS :P (and a forum RPG too, if you have a story for it ;))

Ziolek - September 7, 2006 06:48 PM (GMT)
My world's story backround will be ready tommorow. ( it won't be about DOmz :P )

Zay-el - September 8, 2006 12:49 PM (GMT)
I like it, Shades.....I like it a lot! :)
Where did you find this phrase "quantum subspace",it sounds like a sci-fi book? :P
I have no story for my world yet,I'm only going to start on it,if I win the poll :D
(BTW thanks,I tought I screwed it up ^_^ )

JFSOCC - September 8, 2006 01:09 PM (GMT)
count me in, whether its past (preferred) present, or future! i´ll roll a persona before it starts, but i´d need some guidelines, and i need to be PMéd before it starts (so i won´t miss it)

so game world, fantasy world, or real world (with a twist)?
stats? or completely pen and paper (keypad and screen)?
i prefer the last.

Zay-el - September 8, 2006 01:11 PM (GMT)
I think it would be keypad and screen ;)
Good to know you're interested,I'll update the first post :)

Thanks! As for "quantum subspace," I've got a fairly solid grasp of basic physics, and that was a term I just came up with that sounded like it might mean something fitting. I searched for it, and I actually got some hits. However, considering they had titles like "Quantum Decoherence in Condensed Phase Non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations: relaxation of photo-excited electrons in H_2O and D_2O" I still don't know what it means ;)

I've got some ideas of how this could work, but I'll save them until that's what the topic is. Are we just going to have one going, or will there be a couple?

Zay-el - September 8, 2006 02:26 PM (GMT)
:mellow:........ :unsure: ......... :blink: ........ :o ....... :ahh: ....... :wacko: !
Oh...My...God...
I do hope that I will never have to learn this :(
Even 10th grade Chemisty is driving me crazy :lol:

Well...I don't know yet...we could have more but I'm afraid it would slowly make things "dizzy",like someone misunderstoods one for another etc. :(

Fomorian - September 8, 2006 05:25 PM (GMT)
:wacko:

Bah, chemistry, physics, biology - that's overly complicated for me...

And you've got a good idea there, Jagori. Let's see... mine, your's, Zay-el's, possibly Ziolek's and JFSOCC's... Five story/world ideas. Enough to make a poll.

Zay-el - September 8, 2006 06:53 PM (GMT)
As soon as they finish their story/worlds I'll ask Denden to insert the poll :)
