Well... gauging from the previous conversations another world. We have options; Realms, dimensions, planets- and I think based on what Avalon has said another planet. Humans or at least beings that look very human exist on other worlds it would seem (as the Emperor and Av's character look or are Human and at least once of the half sister princesses is a Dhampire. He can certainly look however you desire him too and you might be able to incorporate his homeworld into his background as the Emperor conquered many worlds which is why his children are half siblings- he took one of the most influential of monarchs from each planet as a wife to add to his trophy like collection and also to give his dynasty many titles.

But an affliction was put upon him; so he would never have a son and thus be the last of his dynasty- it was meant to curb his ambition but it apparently did not as he kept conquering worlds- till he fell in battle on Earth. Had he won he would have undoubtedly taken a member of the British royal family as such a trophy.

With this knowledge do you have any thing to say? As I'd love to refine this concept- so as to make the RP/Story smooth. I'd hate to have plot holes.

It was originally something like fantasy with modern tech from Earth but through conversations it's become Sci-Fi... with a modern Earth. The Empire uses portals to invade other worlds (originally magic now just- something idk how they work now)... to be honest we can go with space ships by Avalon doesn't want the world to know about the invasion (something about it distracting from the plot). I find that sad but that's what he wants. Due to the Portals the Empire's largely army focused as it doesn't need to invest in large ships for invasion.

I... actually don't know if we did figure that all out or not. Again it was originally MK inspired but that's no longer the case I think. So it's like Space Elves with Energy Swords and Plasma guns that embarrassingly lost against Earth (circa 2018 as Avalon pointed out such is a more familiar world).

To be honest the defeat made more sense when the Empire was lower in technology then Earth :/ now it just seems highly suspicious. According to Avalon Earth forces managed to close the portal(s) and stop the invasion.

The Emperor fell some point during this, presumably when he fell the battle began to turn sour for the invaders. It was also apparently a while into the invasion as the Emperor's daughters had arrived to tour the new world- and marvel at the conquests of their father; only to be left behind when the portals closed. A servant of the Emperor is responsible for them forgetting who they where/are.

Saying all this it sounds like we really need to flesh out just what happened with the sisters; as I doubt they could all be easily hidden on Earth. Who knows- could have been part of our antagonist's plan or perhaps someone defined orders silently and decided due to the girl's connection to the royalty of other worlds to - spare them in hopes of free worlds or something?

A space travel capable race was defeated by 2018 Earth forces?.... I need a clarification if the empire did not have any ships and relied more on engaging the planetary force by opening the portals on the surface of the world. Otherwise, I’m going to have a small aneurysm knowing that that the empire had ships and still lost despite the technological advantage the empire had over Modern day earth forces. I mean, if they are advanced enough, what should have been done is send in fighters to strike air bases and assert aerial domination. There, it would pretty much be a piece of cake since without air cover, Navies and Armies would be easier to hit. Not to mention be nearly impervious to bring shot down from the speed alone of the empire craft.

Then there’s also the factor of the handheld plasma weapons being capable of destroying any armor they come up against by burning through the steel. Even if things don’t go smoothly as planned and the empire was caught on the back foot, a single ship capable of orbital bombardment and withdrawal of empire forces would decimate most resistance.

I mean I get it, Humans are special.

But... This would mean that the commander of this invasion force is severely inept.

And this is giving me vibes from Aldnoah.Zero.

Yeah.... Portals is the best option so let's go with that; no capital or transport ships just these portals.

Yep... this all needs refinement. We need to decide solidly what the Empire has; since Avalon, myself, and you agree with Portals let's go with that. But now comes the harder part about technology.

In the initial concept Earth was more advanced then the Empire; but that was before magic got thrown out the window.

I'm still trying to get use to the asthetics;

These images may help explain things;

This princess doesn't even know she's a Princess, and has been living on Earth post invasion oblivious and has been told and made to realize the truth;
Image


This is the same princess before she lost her memories;
Image


This sort of thing made since back when the Empire was low tech but now it's hard to imagine- is it difficult for you as well?

There has to be something about the Empire's forces to explain a lose- and right now low tech is most appealing to me. Dozens of worlds can exist and not all of them need be advanced cizilizations- but this was all easier to explain when the portals where Magic; but now with them having to technological marvels it's challenging.

As if we'd have to go with the Empire's homeworld being post apocalyptic in nature- with the Empire's original expansion being to obtain resources for a dying world. Hey that works yeah? The tech can be treated as magic because only a few 'wizards' understand how to operate the portals? How does this sound to you two?

The only way the could lose realistically is that Empire forces solely composed of ground units and no air units of any form. In combination of bad tactics by the earth invasion commander. However, at the same time, the more technologically advanced Empire would surely have faced other races during their conquest. Some of them must have been something similar to Earth forces and even if they lost against them, the empire not adapting to gathered data would be stupid...

I think it’s far better for the empire to be lower tech. But the problem is the idea that this empire managed to subdue other worlds with lower tech than earth.

Also, earlier you said that Avalon didn’t want someone or something to know of the invasion. Can you elaborate?

Also, earlier you said that Avalon didn’t want someone or something to know of the invasion. Can you also rate?

I imagine the empire took other worlds of similar or lesser tech much as Genghis Khan swept across Asia and into Africa.

Here is what Avalon said;
Holy Empire of Avalon wrote:Finally they arrive at the portal, allied forces plant explosives on the portal and blow it - the thing is not destroyed, they need to go big, more forces are about to come in an reinforce the enemy, they got one last shot. Some of the alien gear is rigged up to make an IED of near Tsar Bomba scale. The only thing the world is left to know of the entire event is a unknown meteor impacting the area, that is how the huge crater is explained.

Afterwards the world goes on same as always, no divergence from the real world.

Holy Empire of Avalon wrote:I just figure people are going to wig out, that is the thing media never accounts for, if there was some massive alien invasion of say New York like in the avengers - the entire world would change. A massive intergalatic threat? You can bet that will drive politics for the next hundred years. Humanity will never unite as a one world government though, Hell, we can look at the EU and see we cannot even unite on continental basises.

The idea of life being out there is bound to change a lot to the general public, people will ask questions and want answers, they will adventure until they find that life because humanity is full of idiots. "Oh, they are misunderstood, they will be peaceful." It detracts from our story. The story is about this guy fighting to stop the old empire from coming back, right? It is his story, to Hell with all the others. The secrecy benefits that as when he goes around asking questions no one will have the answers, and that possibly puts him on some radars for the NSA, CIA, FBI, etc. It is a race against time and even against the good guys as our hero must locate the princesses and then stop the rising emperor.


He wants the protagonist to be a former Knight of the Empire who turned coats and sided with Earth (much like Robert betrayed the Order); and he doesn't believe in peace. Once saying he'd fight for it but doesn't believe it's possible- he's one of those 'war is peace' people. I think us both familiar with Avalon and I realize that to work with him I've got to ... cater to him in some ways. I really want to RP with him- he's a great writer but we have ideological differences that tend to get in the way.

I'm a Moderate Pacifist (I believe in self defense); he's a Total War Militarist.

I'm authoritarian, he's libertarian.

Things like that. But I intend to work with him on this; I just hope he can compromise a little for this.

Narratively my focus is on the girls; his is on the protagonist. I see it as the story of these girls and the protagonist as a vehicle for their stories. An arrow if you will impacting the directions they take; originally the protagonist was the servant who hid them or son (or adopted son) of said servant but Avalon wants to be a former knight.

I'm not a fan of Earth being oblivious to this invasion- I'd rather know if Earth was in danger so I could prepare personally. :( Which is something people afraid of 'panic' overlook- the fact that a prepared public is better for national security. It's why nuclear drills exist at schools. Why people invest in fallout shelters, and invest in the arms industry- because a threat is known to them and they seek to be ready. Plus the secrecy just keeps people from knowing how much of a hero their deceased serviceman was- what sacrifice they made. Plus it means some third world country is being blackmailed to stay silent and citizens who experienced terror in that war silences by force, death, or intimidation and it's sickening to me -snip- I keep thinking about how I'd want my family prepared rather then suddenly shocked by the unknown- that just leaves questions and the very panic such people where trying to avoid. A prepared population is less likely to act out under the situation they are ready for.

If I am to control the villain in the current vague setting, the villains premises might change. Rather than the power-grabbing military officer, he would have been more judgmental of the Emperor, seeing his ambition lead to the men that he lead or knew at the very least to perish or being pushed back by a race he considers inferior to theirs. Letting his anger and hatred grow for the Emperor, he does the unthinkable and sends men loyal to him to assassinate their leader and succeed.

However, instead of the earth invasion commander pulling back, kept on fighting on and continuously made bad choices. Unsatisfied, he kills the commander and takes command, ordering a full retreat to regroup and recuperate his forces. The Empire in chaos, he swiftly takes more than half of it under control through the use of brute force, fear tactics, and pulling some strings from connections he’s made. He’s still going to be efficient, with him eliminating those that are against him leading the empire and firing up the people so that they will want to avenge those lost in the conflict. In short, unite the empire and take revenge on Earth for dishonoring them.

Once he finds out that there are surviving members of the imperial family, he’ll discredit them somehow.

I like this ^_^ This is better. I feel like I'm developing a love for this version. I think Avalon will like the idea a bit more if he's also attempting to engineer Earth tech for the Empire's forces (Avalon would see that as a way to make him more of a threat and thus something to be stopped even if numbers still work).

I'm certainly intrigued, although I think I'll wait for more concrete lore to be developed before I start deciding on a concept. I'm willing to fill any role if you think it needs to be filled though.

I'm nervous about voicing my frustrations about Avalon; and I'd like to say that I feel sorry- or somewhat guilty for them. I really do as usual want to RP with you and accidently snips those words expressing such from the post.

There is something noble in you;
Image


Someone fatherly, someone with conviction- I like that :( I might remember you as reckless and you still are, and as it did back then I get annoyed but it's charming to me. You always have something to take a stand on, and you see that so little these days. People keep looking for something to stand on and they tend to choose the strangest of things but you- you chose values and I admire that- even if I don't always show respect :p Your like the hero of every kids fantasy war game and that just brings back fond memories of when I use to play soldier. I don't see you as mature but you know more about war then I do and I find your information useful.

I see you as- a charming personality but every rose has it's thorns. You allow parts of me to rise that where submerged and at times I feel like I'm - at times when we are RPing together I feel great being swept up in your actions even if I don't always agree with them you justify them in words that are like poetry to me and thus soothing to my character's woes. A part of me really does miss Robert x Terra but refuses to do that again; but that doesn't stop us from doing something like that again. I don't want to push you away again.

:) We can always use more half sisters :D I certainly can't play them all hahaha nor would I desire to! :o I'd love to have discussion about your idea for a half sister princess. Mine is half vampire... sure i could go with something more beastly but I'm going with a Dhampire Princess.

There is something noble in you;


Someone fatherly, someone with conviction- I like that :( I might remember you as reckless and you still are, and as it did back then I get annoyed but it's charming to me. You always have something to take a stand on, and you see that so little these days. People keep looking for something to stand on and they tend to choose the strangest of things but you- you chose values and I admire that- even if I don't always show respect :p Your like the hero of every kids fantasy war game and that just brings back fond memories of when I use to play soldier. I don't see you as mature but you know more about war then I do and I find your information useful.

I see you as- a charming personality but every rose has it's thorns. You allow parts of me to rise that where submerged and at times I feel like I'm - at times when we are RPing together I feel great being swept up in your actions even if I don't always agree with them you justify them in words that are like poetry to me and thus soothing to my character's woes. A part of me really does miss Robert x Terra but refuses to do that again; but that doesn't stop us from doing something like that again. I don't want to push you away again. I'm like ice and ye fire.

and yeah that pic did get me thinking of alternate scenarios of Earth invading but let's not do that- yet at least. pls.

Eh, let's not talk heroes, I done passed that mask on to my little buddy.
Watched the Incredibles II with the family yesterday so after the movie I decided to give Munchkin #2 my old mask since it fits him well enough.

Anyway, I thank you for your kind words, they do mean a lot Harb, I think we as friends got a lot to work through one of these days, several years of push and pull seems to have made us both a bit bitter.

As far as my outlook, the alien guy was not coming to bring peace, he came to conquer. Thus I say the true side of right is to oppose him and defend earth. I dont know much about the other nations due to research limits, but we in the US have junk in orbit for "certain" reasons. Ya know, off chance we got ET neighbors out there. No clue what those things are or do, but they are there.

My favorite game was HALO 3: ODST, you drop feet first into Hell, you are in New Mombasa, in the very grasp of the enemy under the cover of night. Something so compelling. It was like Medal of Honor but to a whole new level for me. I was used to fighting pixelated terrorists of all sorts, but now? It was something I had never seen before! Big hairy ape creatures, tiny little gremlins, lizard monsters. One man against the legions of Hell itself it felt. Hard mode, nothing less. Each inch gained, every skirmish won, it was a fight for the ages. There was no respawn and try again.

Part of me wants to fill that thrill, the thrill of being knee deep in shit creek, trudging against the current, no paddle, no canoe, no reinforcements.

That is the sucky part of being a gunslinger, the most horrible part of it, the fact that Guns Linger.

So your character is a bad guy?

I’m confused.

I mean technically I’m just an actor hired by you and Harb, who are essentially the the producers and directors.

No clue what my character is. He is just a knight who did not believe in the cause of the empire. A tale as old as time.

A space knight that turned against a space empire, who eventually got their ass handed to them by modern Earth forces.

Right?

More or less, we are however taking into account the more scientific fi stuff that the governments of the world have released statements on that cannot be proven or disproven as existing. STARWARZ for example.

I still haven't gotten use to that;

I'm still trying to get use to the asthetics;

These images may help explain things;

This princess doesn't even know she's a Princess, and has been living on Earth post invasion oblivious and has been told and made to realize the truth;


This is the same princess before she lost her memories;


This sort of thing made since back when the Empire was low tech but now it's hard to imagine- is it difficult for you as well?

Hey Harb, I got an idea of mixing the both worlds of technological prowess. Make it somewhere in between, appearance of and culture of more akin to a WWI empire but higher tenchology.

Here is what their military would armed with. Keep in mind that it’s not finished yet and these pictures I just count off the Internet.

On a slightly irrelevant note, the rifle you've selected reminds me faintly of the Lucius Pattern Lasgun from 40k. I love it and I think you succeeded at building the intended aesthetic.
