((ok everyone that is involed with the battle-master plotline: A Future's past, this is the post which should hopefully explain everthing you may need to know, the first post on here is an IC Story of three sides of the event, G.R.A.T.A.R.U, The Huneter Guildand the other timeline side,one tech, one magical and one which is a mix of both, so it is for you to make up your minds to which side to stop, which will effect the outcome and characters of the plot, of course there is a thrid option, which is to do nothing.. which would trigger off the other timeline to over right the persent one.. which they in the other line are trying to stop.
Anyway enjoy and please post up any and all questions.))

Battle-master plotline: A Future's Past: Countdown to a new world.

G.R.A.T.A.R.U. Tower, galaxy city, 14th of Jan 2008, 8:00pm.

Curran walked upto the monitor station followed by Wendy, Simmons and Fred, the numbers displayed on it shown "23 hours: 59 minutes." Curran turn around and stared at them, his grin was almost shocking to look at, everything he had done, all those hurt during the battle outside, the guards that had lost thier lives, everything was coming to an end.
"People, we are about to make history.. to bring this world a new era.. one of peace.. and of control." Curran said grinning more, ".. one of the end of those annoying heroes."
Wendy and Simmons looked shocked and turn to Fred, who was was staring back at them, before turning to Curran.
"Sir.. maybe this isn't a good time.. i mean.. after the invadion force of those bots.. and the floating land mass above peregine island.." Said Fred suddenly, looking to Wendy and Simmons.
"Not a good time! This is the thing that will bring about a new ERA for mankind, and rid us of those heroes, once and for all." Screamed Curran at the top of his voice, making the others step away from him, in fear.
"But.. Sir.. Curran, andrew had a point.. this isn't the way for that to happen.. please don't make us do this." Asked Wendy going to reach for Currans arm.
"ENOUGH! if you don't help.. then your just on the wrong side.. as i thought all along.. your all against me." Shouted Curran, forcing Wendy's hand away from him with a slap.
"Curran.. sir.. we're not against you.. just is the fact Andrew is right.." Simmons apoke out suddenly looking at Curran, frowning at the slap he had given Wendy's hand, "you got to believe us.. before its too late."
"Enough! thats the last of it, Guards! take them to the holding rooms on florr eight now!" Barked out Curran as the guards appeared at the doors of the room, before grabbing Wendy, Simmons and Fred. "i thought better of all three of you.. now be gone."
As he spoke the guards lead them off, out of the room, Curran turned back to the mointo unit and tapped something into the keyboard.
"I can do this without them.. i don't need assistance for the final stage.. i can remotely activate the whole network from the city hall.. in atlas."
With that, he turned and slowly walked off towards the door.
"They are all wrong.. none of them understand.. this isn't about the past.. but the future.. we dont have any need for those idiotic, pain the backsides.. they call heroes.. where were they when i needed help.. i ask you."

The Hunters Guild, grandhalls, hovering over a small isle south of Peregine Island, time: 8:10pm

Master turned around and looked to those others of the High council of the Hunters Guild, they were all around what appeared to be a large crystal table, on which could be seen the image of where they were over, an island, the same island Drade had had his last battle with Magnus Fliheart, slowly they look at each other before Master dark spoke, "My Friends, Council members.. the time has come.. we shall strike in a days time.. the Cultists shallthis time not be able to escape the power of the Great sword, and it's energy."
"Of Course, Master Dark.. shall we begin the enchanting now?" Asked one of the members of the council from across the table.
"We shall, indeed.. we do this for Drade, and to end this war that has continued for centries." Master Dark said before beginning to chant some runic words.

Suddenly the whole island began to shake and earth crumbled down from under the floating mass of land where the buildings and towers of the Granhalls lay upon, slowly four large crystals came out from the rocks at the under side, as the chanting from the guild filled the night air, then another one seem to poke out downwards from the land, it's shape was like that of a blade, above it was the main tower of the guildhalls, which looked from a distance just like a sword hilt, slowly the now five massive Crystals started to glow. The eirey light from them lit up the sky, clouds above and just below the floating Guildhalls, started to swirl around them, those on the nearby shore looked up in sheer Shock and horror, the whole guildhalls it seemed was the legendary weapon, The Great Sword, and its pointed crystal blade was pointing at it's target, the isle where the Cultists base was, where Drade had is greatest battle, and had thought to of lost his life.
On a nearby smaller isle, with a single tree stood, and a stone sword, appeared a flicker of light, it hovered around then seem to be joined by tow others which encircled it, swirling around it, it's glow changed to red, then back to a white colour before it flew off towards the mainland, leaving behind the now glowing stone sword, and the plague that stood at the base of the tree.

Some time and place in the Future.

Slowly Night Enforcer, the red haired girl, and Temporus stepped into the command center room, it's tech and magic mixed was unseen, nothing like it could be made, standing in the room, by the control center computer was Andrew, along with two others, by the table in the room was standing a rather old looking Drade, his long silvery hair tied back in a ponytail, and his brown and reddy armour just visable in the light of the room.
"My Friends, the time has come.. we will now see if andrews plan has worked.. and we have change our future, for better or worse." Drade said looking up at the three of them walking over to him.
"Of Course it will work.. the whole thing was set in motion years ago.. by Vector here, sending back the armor to me." Andrew said glancing behind him quickly.
"Indeed, but has it worked..?" Asked Drade glancing over to Andrew.
"Hey.. it will.. calm down and wait, the sheild is up.. the displacer is online, and evrything is going fine our end.. it's up to them in the past to make the right choice now." Andrew said, showing his face, which was half robotic, he was now a cyborg, the only way to of lived that long.
"Thats all good and well.. but remember we livedd it once.. and it turned out like this.. so i aint hopeing or anything" Replied Night Enforcer sitting down at the table.
"He's kinda right... i wasn't there at the time.. but from what the history book that made it past the big bang, it wasn't good." said the red haired girl sitting down next to Enforcer.
"Just don't think im going to jump us all back again.. the last time took most of my power from me, remember.. Drade." said Temporus, stareing at Drade with his old arms crossed infront of him.
"you won't have to, this time will be different, i know it.. somehow.. i just know it.. they will do it this time.." Drade said turning around, showing his back to them brifly, his duel swords still on his back, the shadow blade and shinning blade. "I just know it."

right, here i go.

Name: Sha'dower

Basic info: Sean O'Brain, aka Sha'dower as he is known, was and is a very good inventor/ multi millionaire from england who has the natural ability to control shadows, using them with his will, moving via them, till one day when he seem to merge in with his own shadow, becoming one himself, at least partly, now he seeks a way to restore himself back, or at least get back to his somewhat lesser human self then the dark wonder that is Sha'dower.

Resason why he would be a Nomad: Simple, he is now more shadow than man, there is no place for him in the world, able to go anywhere he chooses, do anything, become shadowy versions of things, there would be far too many people after him for his powers, for him to be able to live a normal life in the world.

Union Wiki link: none as yet.

Appearance/powers: Normally wears a purely black suit which is infact his own shadow, carries a shadowy walking stick, and wears dark "watcher" sun glasses. Has a battlesuit which is able to absorb light and use it to strengthen its powers and enchance his own powers, known as the "ShadowSuit".
Powers, control over shadows, shadow portals (i.e. teleport), also uses serveal items he has built over the years and throwing daggers.

Contact: Message me via /t for in character unless you (()) it, otherwise can be found by @Drade, also can be contacted via the boards here.

There, done.

Well all sounds good then, and Efranof, no problems.. it looks like the group has run it's course maybe.. depends on how the plot goes to end now, to weather they are still around or not.

Of course this means if i do go for it, how to get him back.. if you have read the post in the IC Storyboard part of here, your understand where the whole thing is now, the post is Shades of Grey: To give up one for another.


but im sure i'll figure something out, maybe.

Ok here I go, I have over the past few days added in two of my plotline stories from these borads to the handbook, A future's Past and Shades of Grey, and was wonder if anyone would be so kind as to give me feedback or such on these, i am fully aware that there are some chunks of info and story missing, but these bits are hidden deep in my chat logs, and will take me quite some time to find and remake into part of the stories, and of course some bits are said by other players characters so i would need their say so to place them into the story if need be.

They are both at persent under the Character plot heading since i didn't feel that there was much if any bit that made them more fit to the community plot area, but feel free to move them if they do.

I think I have a character that may fit into this, Sha'dower.. he's a now living shadow, no place to go as such.. wealthy, who once own his own company, (and still does, technically) yet he is unable to truely fit in with the normal world, due to the fact he can quite basicly go anywhere, do anything, can't get hurt by bullets and such, only by light if he's in his full shadow form and not in humanish form.

I do infact like this idea of somewhere for those like him, and would allow him to be continued to be played as his shadow form, otherwise there was going to be a rather interesting twist to his story (im not going to spoil it) so he could come back one day.. enough said about that.

SO do you think he would fit the bill so to speak or not??

(( this makes the front or secound page of most newspapers.))

Galaxy under fire!

Reports from the boardline area of Galaxy city, suggest that the G.R.A.T.A.R.U. Tower complex building has come under what could only be known has a attack from an unknown source, reports from the area say that the whole building as somesort of forcefield protecting it, and the windows have been replaced by armoured panels, eyewitnesses hae told us that there was serveal large blasts at the building, and what appeared to be combat robots of unknown design firing on the building, the area has been sealed off by Longbow, as the fighting as damage the local area.
Sadly we were unable to gain any statements from G.R.A.T.A.R.U. or the Longbow, however they have told us that heroes are adviced not to enter the area, incase this adds to the already choas of the fighting.

ok, would like to point out that " The Hunters Guild" ie my RPSG is a Arcane/Magical supergroup as such, yes they may use a little in the way of technology but it is limited down to their communicators and a main datebase that they connect to, other than that they use magic, swords, bows, a few do hand to hand, and of course the other thing of the modern world, guns, but as i said this is limited to a few things and people.

Of course due to lack of interest mainly the group hasn't really got off the floor (so to speak) and i, myself, have used one character to build up the large part of the base. This group at this time however MAY be coming to an end with the present storyline "Seeress Revenge" the next part of their story leading on from Drade's rather long storyline "Darken Days".

If there is anything else i can help with, or if you wish more info, please contact me.

(( rumours spread across the city, althrough they appear to change with how each person says them, one main fact reminds the same.))

"Hey you heard, those guys in the suits have bought up a load of the tall building all over the city, seems there something to do with the roof tops and power stations on them."

- - - - - - - -

" Yo dude, check this out, some guy just offered me half a mill dollars to get out of my pent house in steel, i told him to get lost, i won't let them buy up my pent house for less than 2 mill dollars."

- - - - - -

" Those reseacher guys who put up those letters to the heroes are acting oddly, they keep buying up buildings and paying people to go away from them.. whats the deal with that?"

- - - - - -

"what's with those guys, offering money to anyone to get out of their homes in the steel, and such.. surely the city hall must know what their doing!"

The Paragon Times, Dec 7th, page 6.

Impact! boom rocks city.

Yesterday a large crater appeared in the farm land area outside of the city war wall area, reports from the area state that a fireball was spotted in the sky shortly before a loud bang was heard. Serveal Heroes rushed to the area, finding a man standing there looking into the crater, he is believed to be the Sha'dower, who is the said once missing english multi millionaire, Sean O'Brain founder of O'BrainTech Industries.
We have been told by their C.E.O's board that the object was in fact one of their satellites which had crashed due to a fault in its main computer, althrough they had tried to set it on a course to land into the sea off the coast, due to an unexpected problem it had changed course and crashed outside of the city.
They have sent in a team to recover the Satellite and fill in the crater, and have told the paper they are willing to pay any damage costs caused by the accidental mishap of the crash.

* There is a photo next to it which is of Sha'dower standing their scratching his head and peering into the crate at the fallen satellite remains.*

Doctor Devass Vector lent back into his chair, and stared at the srceens infront of him, behind them stood a row of his enchanced battle master prototype robots, he glanced up to them before back to the screen.
"Zo, it appearz zhe Omega robot waz stopped.. well.. at leazt i am ztill here, thankz to the temporal zhield device.." he stood slowly and turned around to face where the sheild device was.
".. it waz only a matter of time before zhat happend, he zhould of truzted myzelf.. oh well, i have other matterz to attend to."

With that he beconed his bots and they marched out of the room, followed by the sheilding device, which hovered along with them, on the screen behind them was the words " G.R.A.T.A.R.U. Mainframe: Project: C.O.P-505-beta2."

*spoke by two PPD cops and two people in the Galaxy area, near to the train station*

"Officer im telling you what i saw, there was That fight on the roof, all those heroes left, but they left one behind.. he was all in black and looked like he had passed out."

"Very well sir, but what happend after that?"

"I saw some guy in what looked like a cross between a crey cop outfit, and a council soilder outfit, appear from the street and climb up there to him."

"Yes, i saw him two, i passed by him, he was tallish, well taller than me, thin, and looked like another hero.."

"Right, so he was a hero dressed like a crey council guy?"

"Yea, yes"

"right, so he's and the black suited hero are up on the roof.. and?"

" He picks up the black suit hero, and carries him off over his shoulder, like a fireman would."

"Yea, he walked past me again, the guy was muttering something about his brother, and the crey council guy seems to have some gun over his shoulder."

"So you think he was kidnapping the black suit hero?"

"Maybe.. he disappeared quickly into thin air with him.. like turned a corner and boom, he was gone."

ok, my time to bite..

I would like to say thats THREE plots running at the same time, each is different to each other, and covers multi veiws and things, but each holds a core issue and lesson.

*spoken by two people in Galaxy city, early morning on friday 23rd of nov.*

"Morning."

"morning, you hear about yesterday after the attack?"

"What the rikti invasion?"

"yeah, seems that look alike english millionaire guy, was shot by some snipers."

"what? have they been caught?"

"yea, longbow got them, but i heard they aren't talking, even the telepath can't tell why."

"Strange.."

"yeah, but i think he's ok, most likely in hidding again now."

"true, anyway.. where's the train?"

[ QUOTE ]
Time travelling and changing the past is imposible by the equation:
Event X causes Person Y to go back and prevent Event X.
But if Event X never happens, Person Y never goes back.

Now some would state that a "Chronologic anchor" would preserve Person Y's motivation, but with Event X never happening Person Y has no motivation to preserve.

As such timetravel becomes pointless, aside from going back and learning from the past, trying oneself against a foe before he is imprisoned so one might be prepeared for once he is no longer so.

So you can't change the past to change the present, but you CAN know your past, change the present and thus shape the future.

[/ QUOTE ]

This really does make sense to me, well put.
The whole "chronologic anchor" is what my villain made, or is making at this moment why? Because he is from the future and thusly wants to stay in the past, where he isn't classed down as evil, just misunderstood.

indeed, all this time travel lark is one big headache, but i would point out that i have started up a plot line with three of my character which deals with time travel, is the battle-master/Dr. Vector plot, but both sides have or will built/ almost built devices to make themselve unaffected by any changes in time. The devices, sheilds, basicly sightly drop them out of phase with the normal timeline, of course they can still be seen, spoken to, answer and move around like normal, but they would not age nor be affected by sudden chrono changes, like someone going back before they were in the sheild and killing them, because they were in this timeline event not in it, (if that makes sense) they are working sightly off the mainline, yet still in the mainline.

I know, its hard to explain, and understand, but as the great "Doctor Who" said "time is just a great big wibble wobble thingy amabob...." (at least i think thats the line he says, can't find it on the net atm.)

(( Two men speaking in Galaxy city, both reading the newspaper.))

"hey Joe, you seen this picture here on page eight?"
"what? The one of that missing billionaire from england?"
"yeah, thats the one."
"yea, why?"
"well, i swear i was saved by someone who looked like him, even now to the necklace he wore."
"but hasn't he been missing for like three years?"
"yea, i know.. but there was a rumour that he faked the whole thing to get way from the spot light."
"meh.. maybe, but why here? and why show up now?"
"who knows, they do say all sorts come here, cause of what this city means."
"true, true.."

well i for one have been planning for this, My main villain alt, Doctor Devass Vector, has been working on a way to prevent himself being removed from the timeline due to any events caused by temporal mishaps and such, which is the same with the Hero Battle-master, which as they are both from the future, has got a device to protect itself and others from a chronological skip or change. Althrough their appearances won't change as such how they act may or may not.

Also, it has given me a way to bring back a character, but that is due to plot events from another character plot, but he would have different skills and the new Dual swords, unless a find something better from him.

But one Character may be losted to time, well at least who he is now, due to time travel and the fact he could change his own past.. but thats yet to be seen.

Curran sat in his office chair waiting for his door to fly door as it normally did when he called Unit and Andrew to him, he sat turned away, glancing to his computer screen, on his desk lay a folder, writen on it's lable was "Project: BM-567-Alpha: Codeword." Clearly he had learnt something the others should know.

"What in the this good world, is taking them so god damn long to get here this time." Curran tapped his fingers on his other arm, with each tap his exoproto armour plinged. Then suddenly the door flew open and bounced off the wall oppersite, standing in the doorway was the familar shape of Units armour, and where it was so was Andrew.
"erm.. Sir.. sorry about the door, you know how unit can be when you call him." Andrew spoke from the suit, his voice was jittery, knowing that Curran would any minute shout again at him about the doors.
"UNIT! Must you every god damn time break my door off!! I've only just had it fixed for the twenth time!" Curran shouted as he span around to face them "If it wasn't for the fact i have to have it i would ask it to be remove, its costing me a small fontume to have it fixed each time!"

"Unit: Curran: Sorry: strength limiter was set: to high." Units robotic electronic voice said quickly, knowing Curran wasn't about to let him go easy.
"ARGH! well.. nevermind.." Curran had just given up with him, afterall unit was just an A.I. program, "..look, we found something you two might find interesting, after that bank robbery last night, there was a recording found.."
Unit stepped up to the desk and looked down stiffly at the folder, his scanner had alreay found it and classed it as important, but he had waited for Curran to allow him to read it. ".. open it, if your scanners haven't already displayed the text."

Unit carefully picked up the folder and flicked it open with his one hand, his visor flashed up with something, mostly data and links. Andrew seemed to burst out over the suits mic, "IS THIS WHAT I THINK IT IS!!!???"
Curran just nodded and turned away from them, the folder contian the text of a recording taken from the bank by someone there, it had seemed the bank was attacked by three armed strange robots with human eyes and seemingly human voices, they had writen on the vault wall the words " Doctor D. Vector, he has come." of course, unit had got there late due to a cat stuck in a tree, Curran had already grilled him about it earlyer on. But what was more important was they knew the name Vector already, as Andrew had found out as they flew to the robbery, Unit had asked him about names and surnames, and Andrew's surname was Vector.
"but Sir, Curran.. i know Vector is part of the password already, its unlocked a bunch of backup files, mainly on the suits power core and the infrmation used to build that Shadow suit." Andrew said as he stiffly, sue to the suits stiff neck, bowed his head.

"I am aware of that, but the audio tape recover from that event is still being processed, as one of the cash opperators told us one of the robots said a name to her, which i believe might be the secound word of the passcode." Curran said still facing away from him, he put his hand over his shoulder and unit quickly place the folder into his hand.

"Andrew, Unit, i want you to go out on patrol.. and this time.. no more cats stuck up in trees please when a code alpha two niner comes in please."

Unit did a quick slaute, stiffly and but more human like than he could before, before turning around and walking out from Curran's office. Over Curran's com device came the word " Sir, we might of found something, theres a name, it begins with a D.."
All Curran could say was "Excellent."

*jaw hits the floor* WOAH! man that look so good!!!!

The hunters guild is still looking for members, since like i now have two active members in the group, me and beet.

((note: the following post has so gore, do not read if you don't like horror or gore. You have been warned.))











Location: Dr D. Vector's base.

Dr Devass Vector drummed his metalic fingers on the control panel of his chair, watching a news feed on one of his monitors, the images were of the choas of the uni deaths, while another monitor was showing what other information he had on the G.R.A.T.A.R.U group.

"I doubt zhey are happy about thiz, after all, it waz going to happen, as time iz playing out." He paused brifly before continuing "I would not of know how untill i zaw thiz.."

The screen flicked back to the news, slowly Devass got up from his seat and walked over to the lab table, where a robot lay with its head panel open, inside was empty but was ready to have something put inside it, nearby was another table with a white sheet over it under the sheet could just be made out what appeared to be a person laying down on the table.

"Zhe problem with a computer iz thaz zhey alwayz go wrong one point.. but a brain.. iz much better.. of courze that iz if you know how to uze it." Devass looked at a jar one of his robots had brought up to him, inside was was appeared to be a brain with eye balls.
Slowly he opened the jar and place its contents into the head panel of the new built robot, closing down the face panel he may a robotic sigh.

"And now zhere iz another unit, unit 56-beta."
As he said the words the robots eyes lit up and its female robotic voice answered "Yes, master."

sorry seffs, i did send you a meesage a few days ago asking if it was ok, guess it never got to you since i never got one back.

ok, thats all ok, this is of course all still pending on Seffs, so we may start later than i hope anyway, but so everyones knows meeting point 1 is just outside of the ferry from talos.

ok update: i am hopeing to run the ending event tomorrow evening, (25th of oct) starting from around about 8:30pm GMT time, this is of course if seffs is able to do this, if not then the last possible day is friday, we really can't let this drag out any longer, its just getting silly really now.

Once again in his darken room with the monitors flashing up information, sat the cybrog doctor, his robot were busy recharging and he seemed quite content on stareing at the screens.

"hmm.. Zhe robot, he iz interezting.. yet zomething tellz me he ztill doezn't truzt me..." his eye flickered around the screens, the imformation was traveling across them at quite some speed, flashing by he noticed one bit.

"ah, here.. there iz a mention of zhat group again, Zhey muzt ztill be trying to work out zhe pazzword.."
A list of names flashes up on the other screen, each in turn slowly is crossed off, all beginning with the letters D.V. and each a Doctor.

"Zhe foolz, do they truely think, I zhe great Doctor Devazz Vector, would leave my name juzt laying around for them to find..." Devass pressed some keys on his control panel, on his left glove, the drone robots opened their eyes and walked out from their recharging stations ".. unitz, i have a zmall tazk for you, go.. cauze zome trouble.. we need zome diztactionz zo i may work on zhe device more."

With his command given the robots bowed to him and left via the door, laughing roboticly evil he stood and walked over to a small workstation with a force field drone half taken apart on it. "now to make zure time doezn't forget me."
