Sometime around one hundred thousand years ago, a group of very powerful Force users existed. Little information is now known of these great beings known only as the Ancients. Most of what is known, is myth and legend. The story of the Ancients focuses on their Ascension. At some point in time, this group of beings encountered something far older, and far Darker.....far more powerful than any of them....or even all of them. individually. Through the power of Force Meld, they became far greater than the sum of their parts, and were able to subdue the Being. In doing so, all but thirteen of their number perished. But they were able to subdue the Being, and imprison it, but taking away a piece of it's power. This piece would become known as the Dark Heart, an ancient artifact of unimaginable power. Using the Dark Heart, and drawing all of the Force energy from the world of Excellior, a world once rich beyond any other, in the Force, the Ancients performed a ritual that allowed them to Ascend to a higher plane of being. So great had they become, that they left existance as we know it, moving on to something else. One of their number, known in legend as the GateKeeper, remains with a watchful eye on our galaxy.....ready to prevent anyone from following in their footsteps. The Ascension had an odd effect on Excellior, the Force became very weak there, and the waters gained the effect of nulling out the Force. The inhabitants, drinking the waters soon became both immune, and invisible, to the Force. Thus were born the Min. Over time, the Min came to realize how they had become what they were, and made it their duty to seek out, hunt down, and kill Force users who might repeat the work of the Ancients. They were aided by their ability to feel the Force in use. As the years progressed, many of the races of the galaxy would find their way to Excellior, and the Min would become an elite guild of assasins. In recent years, the Dark Sider, Lord Thomas Darque, located the Dark heart, and made an attempt to Ascend. His attempt was foiled by Mannanan BladeDancer, Brythe Nole, Ra Cul, and his own daughter Yuria. Brythe and Yuria would both lose their lives in the effort. Through the aid of several others, Thomas Darque returned to life, and once again possesses the Dark heart. His power is now even greater than the last time he attempted the Ascension, and he stands ready to try again. Another legend tells of of the Mystical Twelve. An ever changing Order, whose sole purpose is to oppose both the Ancients, and the Dark Heart. Legend says, in times of need, the Sacrifice of the last Twelve, will split into Twelve points of light, and a new Gatherer shall bring Twelve together to oppose great evil. ******************************************************************** That's the IC version of the story....some of you are already familiar with it, from SWAGD.....others will become more so as we launch the story. The OOC version is this....and mind you....this is merely a plot outline....how it happens will be a direct result of each and every member/staff's involvement in the story..... Thomas Darque will gather his power to himself, and breach the barrier to where the Ancients went. A being of Light and power has splintered herself into twelve points of light.....each one is a piece of great power. Hadrius Cul is the Gatherer of the Twelve.....this does not mean he's the leader, boss, hero....anything like that. Each of the Twelve will instantly possess a surge of massive power.....though not enough to directly challenge an Ancient, or Thomas Darque....this is where Hadrius' Force Meld power will come in....linking each of the Twelve, so each possesses ALL the skills and powers of the whole group. As Thomas Darque attempts to Ascend, he will confront the GateKeeper. As he begins the battle, the other 12 Ancients will arrive.....The Twelve will stand first against them, then against Thomas Darque, to prevent his Ascension. The Republic, having learned of this will be sending troops and fleets....some to kill all the Force users....some to aid the Twelve....depending on which side of the Republic split they stand on. The varius factions of the Combined Armies will either stand behind Darque, or oppose him, hoping to gain power when he falls. Each independant faction or person will make their own choice as to where they stand, and The Min will rise to fulfuill their primary mission....preventing the Ascension at all costs. The only things I have written in stone concerning this story are that Thomas Darque will fail(be a crummy and short site if he didn't), dieing in the process....and Mannanan will die in helping take him down. Both of these NPC's are high powered, and a game imbalance should they be allowed to stick around. That was the point that AT LEAST one other person missed while complaining about it. The Fall of Darque will spell the end of the Combined Armies Dark Alliance......and the events thier will not help keep the Republic together. Last note: After the fight with Darque and the Ancients......that huge power boost from the Twelve points of light? It's gone in an instant. If there are any questions, feel free to ask them here, myself and others will answer as best we can. One more last note....lol: The death of Thomas darque, and the destruction of the Dark heart, will free that Great Being imprisoned so long ago......let the galaxy beware.... |
