Continuum (Int Check)

[Pachamac]

This looks and sounds pretty amazing. I've always been partial to time-travel storylines and this sounds right up my alley. Was thinking about one where the characters go into the past in order to make sure shocking events need to happen in order to maintain the status quo, such as saving Hitler, but what you've got planned out is much better than anything I ever could. The Sentinel/Watcher/Erasures relationship reminds me of the Green Lantern Corps and their Guardians, so that'd be interesting to play, except more through time than space. And the addition of Terminator esque elements there with runners, even as an example, is pretty nifty. I like the idea of how this could go about by following conspiracy theories and providing an explanation to some of them. And weird unexplained monuments like Stonehenge. Also, some historical events that are really tragic, but have to be enacted because of how the world developed afterwards... I'm not sure how 'right' it would be to do so, but a 9/11 scenario could be interesting too. Not sure if that's more hard hitting and closer to home though.

Isn't the Night Machine from Hickman's run on Shield? Is he still Tesla? Also, wouldn't -18,000,000,000 BC be 18,000,000,000 AD?

Anyway, interested.

Holy crap someone who has actually read Shield, and yes he is still Tesla.

<shrug> Wasn't really thinking about that while making OC. Just trying to get the idea that it was in the past.

[OiHarkin]

Well good, then you'll get the reference I'll be making when I have my character have a genetic quirk that makes him a living time machine (convenient for putting him in time sectors with low technology) and he's left behind a super-genius son in 20th century Manhattan :P

[Nigawatts]

Yeah I haven't decided on the character creation. I planned to make us uniform, but that might be a bit boring (and by uniform I mean same abilities, so we can focus on personalities) What do you guys think?

I had planned on us being sterile, since we're vat grown, and having kids out of sync with time would seem like a huge thing that could easily be stopped.

I'm not gonna be able to get the OOC up until tomorrow. But here is a sneak preview at one of the mini-stories that will be spliced in between the Splat.

"What's the time?"

The words come out as a small croak from my throat. My face was still numb, a side effect of the chameleon gene shifting through preset faces, and back to default. The pitch of the voice is apparent, even if the words were not. I must have been female this time. The chameleon gene always had an issue restructuring the vocal patterns between shifting. Soon my natural, deeper voice would come back.

The ground was hard and cold. I was staring up at the sky, and my motor functions had not returned enough for me to turn my head. Above me the clouds could barely be seen through the tall skyscrapers. The chill of the ground seeps through my skin, and into my bones.

Another Sentinel stands over me. waving a light source from side to side, occasionally catching my pupils. A smug smile creeps to his face, as he presses a finger to the side of his neck. "He's conscious Command." The beam clicks off. If I could scowl I would, but instead I mumble the question again. "What's the time?"

"10:28 PM."

"THE YEAR, ASS!"

[Nigawatts]

OOC is up.

[FoxSVK]

Interested in this idea, but I am going to need some time to thoroughly read through it, plus I am during my finals in school.

I'm gonna go ahead and withdraw from this one. It looks interesting, but I'm just not too sure about it, at least not enough to make a CS. Good luck though, hope it works out for everyone involved.

[Taerinn]

I'm going to withdraw too, just as a precautionary measure before I end up getting hit with mountains of homework. Best of luck!
