In Book Zero I was also going to make Damien meet this samurai wielding a mystical blade, as well as pirates in 17th century Europe.

Book Zero=Scattered as fuck, no plot behind it, just stories about the characters going in a random order. Limited interaction among player characters, but no doubt Damien will find a way around that. I think a normal history book is order for what you guys are planning, I honestly don't see the reason to RP it.

Fair enough, Book Zero is rather flawed, however some sort of prequel Book would be nice...
Anyway, the Halloween special seems nonexistent, so why not have an early Christmas special?
On a third unrelated note; How is book 3 going to start and when?

I'll be focusing more on the Somerfield family Damien was briefly adopted into.

Yup, he'll find a way.

What makes him so special?
What does he have that no one else has?
Fate? Destiny?

Damien also doesn't seem to be influenced by other events unless initiated by you, you care too much about Damien's history that it makes things hard to happen.

Just because he's immortal doesn't mean that he can be everywhere, because believe it or not, there's no characters like that........ Except for people like the Time Lords and the people who can back in time.

Time travel? No, but he's been in many places across the world, I could fit several events into his timeline as long as they can be interlinked, though probably not all of them.
History? I was a history student, and I'm a big fan of ancestry and lineage.

Funny how you dodged all the questions I asked.

But by focusing on Damien's history, it leaves him less open for interaction, unless you like the development for his "character".

Not too mention, there's a lot of plot holes in his history, the fact that he keeps jumping around makes it frustrating to RP with your characters.

So what do you guys think of having a Chistmass special?
...Or should we have a (very) late Halloween special?

I didn't even notice, it was my first time RPing. But it seems you just really hate him more than anything.
Plot holes because I only briefly cover certain aspects of his history in flashbacks, Book II isn't a Book Zero where you can properly lay it all out.
'Jumping about' was my initial inexperience with RPs and struggle to get the character noticed. Focusing on something in the past via small episodic flashbacks does not affect his interaction with characters in the present, his history is something that is still in the development phase.

I am not having this argument with you Ryn, I am not interested is sparking hostilities on the OOC. I shall have no more of it and will move on right now before this escalates into something worse.

I do not hate Damien, it's his erratic past that makes him pop up almost everywhere, or the fact that he seemed to pop up at the right place at the right time that I despise.

I apologize, that was my own mistake on my part due to my initial inexperience with the mechanics of text based RPs, OM&T is really my first RP, and its my favorite as there's nothing else like it.

I have a question that popped into my mind all of a sudden.
Did the moon landings happen in this world?
In real life they happened under JFK in the 1960s.
But in this world the Order took over in the 1800s, so did they ever put a man on the moon?

hmm.... their would have been no cold war (political drive)... no world war II (which caused rocket research to escalate), it seems unlikely they would have tried to land a man on the moon. Unless as part of a larger concept, like mining. Even before WWII people spoke of mining the moon. Most likely any lauch I'd image has yet to actually happen, perhaps the space program (if it ever existed) is no longer functioning thanks to the Order's fall, and it's cost. Governments have too much to worry about at the moment, what with scattered people, and forming governments. Need for an army, etc.

Maybe not that far.....it would shift the genre too significantly to a more sci fi theme..but still...some kind of commercial benefit..resources?

Oh well then, no Book Zero. Unless we form a solid timeline, perhaps the early 2000s? 2010? The SLF's early days? A time when the Order was still in power?

We could do that, but yeah, the issue is that none of these events happened around the same time. Though they can.... A few flashbacks....
