Comments on Timescape Get a bigger avatar today!

Ok, before everyone freaks out, there is NO story thread named "Timescape", at least not yet. I'm going to start posting this story very soon.

Before I do, however, I'd like to blatently steal someone's idea. Anyone that wants to be in the story, post your name here.


To give you a brief outline of the story, the Usurpers have erradicated all factions but the University, Cyborgs, and Data Angels. The remaining three have pacted and left Planet, building a small base on a hidden asteroid near Nessus.

Using the University's technology, the Cyborg's equipment, and the Angel's skill, three factions have cracked a plan to send two probes through time. Their ultimate goal is to infltrate the Usuerper capital seconds before a volley of PB's are launched and detonate them IN the capital, thus crippling the Usurpers and changing time.

Along the way, they have to travel through three different periods of time on Planet to reach their goal. They will have to pass through other faction's territory. In times of failing politics and rumors of war, the mission is extremly dangerous, even for two probes. That's were the names come in. You guys will be operatives that have been trained to help the probes though hostile areas.

Post away, and I'll be starting soon.

Increase Your PM Length

Write me in! If I was in such a team, I think I'd be the historian. I'm a big guy, but a smart one too. (Trust me. I've spent much more time developing my mind than my body, and more time than that playing computer games.) I'd be the guy that would be most knowledgable about the past.

However, I am not demanding that you make the character named after me be like that. After all, in chapter five I named the General that commands Lt. Kazin's Brigade after Covelia. Be creative, as always.

One last point: suddenly we've got two time-travel threads going. Reminds me of the zealot in Starcraft: "Would you like to learn the secrets of time travel?"

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Well you can use my username (if you want to). Hmm.. Now what could I be, with a name like that? Possibly a combat-instructor who carries the name out of misplaced pride; it was given to him by his teacher in martial arts (as an insult). Guess I'd be a really small guy with a bad temper in order to really 'deserve' the name.

BTW, the other time-travel story is 'Nemesis'. Go check it out; I think you are far enough apart plot-wise...

Haha... I can picture these two characters already. You'll love the people you get.

I'm thinking of 'borrowing' some event and names from the old Crossfire Tales as well, so we may see some old friends. Already Talon 5 pilot Mithrel is in there.

The other one seems to have ended. Hmm...

you had an idea similar to mine...but i still haven't gotten around to writing it, the story was going to be called the forever explosion

i might still write it though the material would be kind of the same (though very different)

i'm looking forward to more

This is another nice story. I'm anxious to see how it develops.

If you wish to use my "handle", please feel free to do so--though I don't see how you could. I won't give you any biographical information unless you want it. That way, you are free to write the character as you see fit.

This story is going to be solo. I've got a basic outline, and I will reveal most of in the next part when I brief the probes.

As for the names, any and all names are welcome! Trust me, I can make use of any of them . Any name will have at least 1 part, and some names might last 5 or 6. But I will kill some of you off, and I'm not telling who. So, BE WARNED!

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Don't worry about writing that my character dies. I don't mind dying, as long as it's for a reason- like saving humanity. (I intend to enlist in the Army when I graduate High School, and get in on a peacekeeping mission, an intervention, or even a war, if there is one availible. I'd be a Peacekeeper on Alpha Centauri.)
