I have always had an idea floating around of a wartime scientist imagining an energy source based off of human life (using people close to death, voluntarily) to power a city for X number of days, but then one of his work buddies begins to use it for the war. Ultimately, his buddy power robotic titans with soldiers and/or children (younger the body the more life force). The soul is plucked from their body and used to power them; ultimately the soul suffers as their new body is used in numerous atrocities. The original scientist then comes to try and stop this inhumane practice, destroys the blueprints and his research, and has to fight his close friend who has turned mad (the one who used the souls for war). A sort of science turn evil, scenario.

:0 Dude- I like- know something- kinda- It reminded me that I use to have an RP, a School RP. The background was that the world suffered an undead plague and the survivors where holed up in a walled region under the leadership of House Dracul (Dracula). The RP had Wolfman, Dr. Frankenstien- anyhow the region entered a civil war and armies of Frankenstien creatures fought to control the Lycan population. But rebelled against their masters.

I really should have had the RP take place during that conflict rather then after the war. I bring that up only because what You say about the human batteries and magic and science- we cam totes do a Science Fantasy setting with war, dragons, magic, technology, and good intentions turning foul in the pursuit of war time advantage. Dragon riders versus WWI bi planes, or machine gun mounted drakes assaulting a levitating keep.

I've never been involved in an RP set in Avalon though I know such was hosted once- so if Avalon is up for it- or perhaps a- well let's see what he thinks.

You'd not want to be in Avalon... the Anglician people are a weird people for reasons I won't even explain.

I'd gladly fit it in to a world you all want to make. I know me and my friend Aravea have been trying to make a world where we can RP together (He too mixes magic and tech, though he leans more towards tech with minimal magic) I am back at my main computer on Monday, so I do not have access to my documents relating to magic, but I can remember a good bit off the top of my head to contribute with. We can either tweak Zid or make a whole new world, I am up for either.

Not really.

I liked the scenario enough and Gal might interested if we're bringing people back.

It would be nice to get back to the Wizards of Zid RP (I believe that was the scenario with your character). We'd need someone to play the part of Elenor and Othello as I am not reliable for that role. Othello was the Grandmaster of the Wizards of Zid, and the chief instructor. I suggest that we also have more teachers this time as in the original scenario Othello was the only Wizard of Zid left, and was instructing the students in hopes of revitalizing the order.

Elenor is a Dragoness who rules Zid from her mountain peak, and bestows upon the Wizards of Zid missions of importance to her or her realm (recoving magical items, brokering peace between feuding neighbors, using one's training to advise a foreign monarch so as to get more funding for the order and support for the cities continued independence).

She also has a history that I find cool. We need volunteers to take on those roles.

I remember making Elenor quite angry, but being too stubborn and rich to give up if she doesn't like me. That was fun. I think the rp died out before I could see how well that worked.

Your character actually had an aspect of Elenor (which is perhaps why those two didn't get along all two well). You think you'd be able to take on the role of Elenor?

Elenor

Admittingly it's an old post, and characters go through revision- so you'll likely give her your own flavor. Impression is also important to how one portrays a character (how you see Elenor will effect how you portray her). So, a lot of possibility- this will be fun (assuming you or another takes the role).

Zid is a city state :blush: I never named the world :meh: which has lead to confusion in the past... it... really needs a name other then "The World of Zid'; which it was so named because Zid was the first settlement mentioned in planning.

Dunno, i'd have to mull it over. How else do you wish to expand on Zid? If you do want to. I know we are also having fun imagining a science fantasy war with all sorts of moral dilemmas (the best kind of dilemmas). I do enjoy human batteries. Everything is up in the air at this point.

Name of the world could be something like Alterria. Or maybe Aethorn. Or something. I don't know, I guess A names were on the brain.

The world name I have been using is Elryia, though I have no clue if anyone else has used it, etc. Oh and remember how we all hated that Fable III did not fix the problem of monarchies sucking and just made a new one. If we set the story at about 1000 A.D. (Anglician time also starts at the death of a Christ like figure, though as a twist its a Her not a He) then we get to see how Fable III should have been :P

Well :) We can't named it Alterra since that is another Kingdom (admittingly one on the brink of civil war, like France was prior to the rise of Napoleon). It's a good name though (Alternate Terra). Elryia, as Avalon suggests, is to my liking. If Ryn has no objections, I feel up to adding some science fantasy elements into the world. It'll be new to old fans who may not like the change but as one who enjoys Gamma World I am up for it- but we should decide where the Modern Fiction begins and where to draw the line :(

... Take Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep- the world it's self had a culture and building style akin to fantasy yet the White Knight and Ranger fought with guns (which had names like Lance, Rapier, and Saber). Even Sorcerers used an advanced science accepted as Magic. The Only real magic, was that of the Queen, and the First Tree (which was corrupted and thus sickened the world).

I personally want a cultural Fantasy feel, that still has modern technological elements- like Gamma World with it's Robots, and animal monarchs (a place where mutant powers where treated as Magical Abilities).

What about WWI tech aside from guns? What if we put gun tech in the 1700's flintlock times? That way we see a world where biplane riders pretty much use lances to hit each other we could also use airships (blimps) and more early modern solutions, but make it unique in interesting in the aspect that guns have not come a long way as no one has yet had a reason to really use them in conflict; to bring it out of that age we can make a global war occur in which time great advancements are made in weapons bringing us to a new era where weapons are post WWI in all aspects and magic was become a new factor of war too

*PALM*
Knights of the Horn! Ah, gosh that is one of my favorites! We had a person playing the King, and doing an awesome job. We had a quest to recover one of the Nine Swords of Heroism that had been stolen by an unknown thief. We had politics between Goblins, and Centaurs- and a brewing war as the King prepared to aid the Centaur in clearing the Goblins from the land.

Interestingly enough the Goblins of the Eylia (the world is now Eylia) are half orc, and half elf. So they have the strengths of both with the Plains Elves (the Goblins of that realm in which the Knights of Horn took place) having a culture akin to the Native Americans of the Old West. A culture that was very different from the Orc influenced society of the Goblins who dwelled in the mountains.

Funnily enough the elves of Avalon are very much like the Native Americans. Though you have a lot of ethnicities of them, their most noticeable feature is ear. In the hot south their ears angle up and in the cold north their ears angle down, plains elves are recognizable as their ears go straight out.

Also, what if in this world eye color of the original people was white, but due to some event like Tower of Bable (I say it cause I don't know any other events like it in other religions) the people are scattered and thus like the light spectrum their eyes and hair are no longer white but colors of the light spectrum?

I am up for this. We'll need something to spark the conflict... the only world war Elyia experience according to the old lore was when Kalcipher, the Sorcerer King of Zid began a conquest of the world back when Zid was more then a mere city. Kalcipher's first victim was the Knights of Elone (who where the first Paladins). The surviving members of that order fought in the war and played a part in defeating him but the order never survived but it's teachings set the foundation for Paladins from years to come. Elone was partially inspired by Camelot.

We could re-do that conflict- or we can create a new foe- the Dragon King of Colm could invade Alterra. If that happened Elenor might be asked to aid Alterra (but would refuse due to the Treaty that Ended the Dragon Wars, in it the remaining dragons agreed never to slay another of their kind as their race had nearly became extinct). Elenor wasn't even hatched back then but still feels it her obligation to obide by that agreement for the sake of her species survival. This might anger Alterra, and neighboring lands who could place sanctions against the City of Zid. In this atmosphere, the Vampire state of Darkovia decides to invade Zid as Zid has (by refusing military aid) lost it's allies. In response the Rightious Order of Alterra fights the Darkovians with out the government's approval to do so as they'd much rather pressure Zid into helping them in exchange for aid against Darkovia....

How could the conflict evolve from there?

I only have two minutes left of time on this terminal so I can't elaborate much. Here is a link to the Orcs as they where in the old setting. One minute now. At least we got a lot accomplished. Brain storm with the others on the conflict that shall be the focus of the RP. When I return we can pick up with those ideas and get this train chugging!

That way we see a world where biplane riders pretty much use lances to hit each other we could also use airships (blimps) and more early modern solutions, but make it unique in interesting in the aspect that guns have not come a long way as no one has yet had a reason to really use them in conflict; to bring it out of that age we can make a global war occur in which time great advancements are made in weapons bringing us to a new era where weapons are post WWI in all aspects and magic was become a new factor of war too

I am up for this. We'll need something to spark the conflict... the only world war Elyia experience according to the old lore was when Kalcipher, the Sorcerer King of Zid began a conquest of the world back when Zid was more then a mere city. Kalcipher's first victim was the Knights of Elone (who where the first Paladins). The surviving members of that order fought in the war and played a part in defeating him but the order never survived but it's teachings set the foundation for Paladins from years to come. Elone was partially inspired by Camelot.

We could re-do that conflict- or we can create a new foe- the Dragon King of Colm could invade Alterra. If that happened Elenor might be asked to aid Alterra (but would refuse due to the Treaty that Ended the Dragon Wars, in it the remaining dragons agreed never to slay another of their kind as their race had nearly became extinct). Elenor wasn't even hatched back then but still feels it her obligation to obide by that agreement for the sake of her species survival. This might anger Alterra, and neighboring lands who could place sanctions against the City of Zid. In this atmosphere, the Vampire state of Darkovia decides to invade Zid as Zid has (by refusing military aid) lost it's allies. In response the Rightious Order of Alterra fights the Darkovians with out the government's approval to do so as they'd much rather pressure Zid into helping them in exchange for aid against Darkovia....

How could the conflict evolve from there?

A dragon could go berserk and attack a nation killing its leader and many citizens leading the nation to hunt the dragon. This would divide the nations of the world who either want to protect the dragon and those who want to see it killed for those innocent it slayed, the reason for those siding with it could be that their nations signed the treaty to protect dragons. Thus we end up with a very WWI-esque conflict.

For the second global conflict a think the dark king trying to take over the world would work, by then we would probably be to a trench warfare time and thus you'd have allied forces fighting Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies, and other minions of darkness in a pretty awesome technological setting.
Necromancers could become a weapon of war to Elyia that to them is like what chemical warfare is to us.

So basically, it demonizes the dragon responsible for deed.

However, I would to know what causes the dragon to go berserk. Since from my experience, they aren't really the feral kind, as dragons are shown to be intelligent beings. They are capable of maintaining nations and are competent leaders.

It could be angered that Mankind is tearing down forests or digging up treasures, typical local wildlife being angered that their environment is being messed with.

The problem I see is that you are considering dragons to animals, while they should be considered as sentient beings. Besides, most would know not to try messing with dragons in the first place, especially in close to their territory or nation. I think a viable thing would be some form of faction desires conflict and starts one against a dragon.

Well, in my experiences dragons have always been animals. Granted they are much like any other and do have emotions and feelings, thus I would compare it to the typical pit bull scenario we see played out so often around my residence, sadly. A home invader assaults a family, the dog reacts and bites them in rightful defense of its home; problem is there have been situations where the dog then has internal conflict between reawoken primal instinct where there is no friend only foe and its compassion for its family once it tastes that blood and their instincts are brought back. No matter how beloved a creature is one thing to realize is that they are still animals. So I would present a scenario where a hostile force assaulted the dragon, in the conflict it mauls one of the aggressors, but that taste of blood is enough to bring the dragon back to its primal nature. We could take it to a path where the dragon seeks destruction of all that is not draconian or it could go along the route of this beast causing a pre-existing conflict to escalate as its damage is blamed on one side and sparks the powder keg.

WWI A leader was assassianted, but the real conflict was that Serbia had been annexed. We could try to mirror WWI or go on a totally new angle.
