I have an RP idea in mind where you play either a militarized task force designed to eliminate paranormal activity, or something akin to the Umbrella Secret Service.

I am trying to worldbuild god civs akin to the Time Lords or Xeelee, but so far I've yet to get anything concrete down. It is a tad frustrating, but I'll come up with something eventually. I hope.

@Obscene: And that is true. I might try that with a character I'm making for a fic actually. Though they'll be no-nonsense in a largely jovial kind of way.

Yeah. Static was just what popped into my head as the closest descriptor since those are less focused on the character's arc or internal struggle. Not the best wording to use admittedly.

I just want more protagonists with that same resolve, or barring that ones who aren't confused young adults looking to find their place in life analogues.

>Apologies for the radio silence, but I've started work on an eldritch deity. One who called the world this crossover takes place in its home and kingdom before events conspired to see it slumber for millennia in its lightless city. I am willing to pit it as a rival to the Deadites, and by extension the Kandarian Demon.
>Wormholes: Just bend the fabric of reality over on itself like a piece of paper. There's even some talk that such a thing might even be possible, though it's still in the realm of science fiction.

>Dimensional shift: Another version of FTL travel is to phase through dimensions, which are all expanding and rotating at different speeds. You might not be where you want in this world, but you and your crew can swap places with other versions of yourself with ones that are. And because there are an infinite number of parallel dimensions, you can find one that's near identical to this one save for your ship being closer to where you want to go. This can even host some hijinks when the computer screws up a calculation, and characters have radically different personalities or events have transpired after a FTL jump. The comic where this idea was originally used, the main character just used FTL one day and jumped to a world where his love interest was dead, and he's been trying to get back with her ever since.

>Anything else: Alien tech no one really understands, magic, teleportation, etc.

LST or FTL travel is always going to require some explanation so that it doesn't get abused, but there are a lot of ways you can do it. You just have to decide what works best for the narrative.


>Well if I develop a narrative sure. I've got an idea for one bouncing around in my head for Mass Effect, which involves an outside context problem to whom the FTL in question would apply, but beyond that nothing too concrete. Although maybe I should just say that the FTL works because its creators discovered physics was unnecessary, making them eldritch abominations...

>Ugh. I really shouldn't be trying to hold writing discussions at 5 AM. Still, your feedback is appreciated!
>If I'm being honest I just want to make a kind of FTL that just works without much explanation beyond that. Either because it instantly transports a ship to its destination, or straight up ignores the law that nothing can go faster than light.

>But, of course, I am a tad hesitant to do this since it's not exactly good scifi or even good worldbuilding. And it's more just something that came up on a whim.

>If anyone's got any ideas or suggestions, even if that's to just go for it, feel free to comment below.

A new threat, much worse than we thought possible....imagination is dying, and with imagination vanishing, therefore our characters begin to ink away, become erased unless they pull off the biggest baddest legendary epic story of a lifetime.....

That's one possibility story arc.


>Meh, metafictional stories aren't exactly ones I'm too interested in at the moment, but true. I could also provide a demon antagonist, among other things.
@Zyx hm this wasn't a high maintenance rp so maybe I can balance it. Anyhow, the concepts were solid. The deadites were a solid threat for characters to try to deal with. So the city and everything are both still good concepts to latch on to.


>Hmm. True. But again the question of where to take it arises. At least once the Deadites are dealt with. I suppose I can bring in an eldritch abomination or something in for us to deal with also.
@Zyx wadda bout you?


<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

So it's a no from u bud ? Your out ?😔


>I have time. The question is what are we going to write?
>I've got a WIP sheet written up here:

>I'd like to see a video insertion button added to the bar at the top of the text editor. That way we can just click and insert a [youtube][/youtube] tag in a fashion similar to image and URL links.
