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.


I never named the world
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.
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).
