Choices; Every decision has a consequence

Ok, so here's a story idea that was bumped around briefly on the old site. I think it got some good reaction, and could have been really cool, if my timing for starting it hadn't sucked so hard. So I'm going to try again.

----------

Ours is just once of an infinite amount of parallel universes. Every choice we make, every event that happens, changes our future, and gives birth to a new universe. Even the smallest of decisions can change our entire lives.

----------

Basically, what we're looking at is an alter-reality story to the Black Star universe. You would play the same characters, but something will be difference. One major event in their lives has changed, or not happened, or whatever, and that has changed everything.

So, for the most part, the universe is exactly the same. Same planets, same galaxies, same factions (unless your character was pivotal in the creation of said faction, and because of the change it didn't happen). But who you are, where you are, what you're doing, can all be completely different.

Now, some people might worry that this means not all our characters will interact. Which is a possibility. But that's ok, because I'll be an omnipotent narator who will find you something to do anyways. On the other hand, there's also the very good chance that, through coincidences and the willing suspension of disbelief, that we'll all end up together anyways.

So, anyways, just let me know if your interested. Any questions, and I'll answer them. Why? Because I'm just that good.

----------

One choice, one change. The effects reverberate throughout our lives, and the lives of everyone who has ever known us.

Make your choice wisely. The universe might just depends on it.

I'm in, sound like fun.

I think that the difference in Cyrus will probably be career choice. Rather than be raised by a loving family and go into engineering, maybe he winds up a military man. Harsher, more violent. I'm not sure. I'll post something for sure later.

I am in! I wonder what would have happened if Vulcan never trusted the humans, or joined up with the USNF and served with them.

Weee, alternate background history for Bakatare Zeekink Lepo:

Bakatare's history remains the same up until he is 17. (See the character registration section for that, along with a complete list of criminal charges). Him and a partner, Jasmin Ricci, broke into a warehouse. In the reality we're used to, Jasmin betrayed him and stabbed him in the back. In the new universe, however, the robbery was pulled off without a hitch. Neither of them were ever caught for it.

This was the largest single crime Bakatare ever committed, and it set him on a path of continuously worse criminal actions. Together with Jas, Bakatare became a very succesful, and well-known in the underground, thief. He also began comitting more violent crimes, including the occasional murders.

Through an informant, police eventually found enough evidence on Bakatare to raid his home. He had already fled, but much of his ill gotten goods were claimed by police. He and Jas now continue their crimes in space, waiting for the heat on Earth to die down enough to go back.

I'm in too!

I think I will go with the whole "No Boushiko" thing... Which means she never was an Elite and is just your run of the mill author... Or well... as run of the mill as we get anyway...

Basically, there never was a personality implant no assassian training none of that stuff. But we'll see what happens.

All right, Cyrus alternate history:

Everything, including the fake adoption and genetic experimentation, remained the same until his 15th birthday. In 'our' reality, Cyrus was shunted from one foster family to another until eventually living with a loving family that encouraged his engineering career. Instead, he found himself adopted by the Whalen family when he was 15 years old.

The Whalen's had a history in the military, his adopted father's family was in the military for generations, and his mother was a pilot. With their blessing, Cyrus joined the military at the age of 19, and dedicated his life to "fighting for justice against oppression and terror" (a goal strongly influenced by the rogue organization that experimented on him as a child).

Cyrus' natural ability, plus the advantages given to him by the experiments, resulted in him rising quickly through the ranks. When he turned 24, he was made a Specialist, and given a unit. Known as Anti Terrorist Force Alpha (though most people took to calling it the Wollf Pack, after Cyrus Wolff, it's leader) Cyrus and his unit specialized in discovering and stopping any and all terrorist threats.

Vulcan: Vulcan still joined the USNF however after hundreds of racial attacks, he left and started his own way to deal with the "Human issue." Vulcan real name, age, etc, is still missing or unknown. He is the leader of a elite terrorist organization known as the "Black Hand." HE and six others of his race feel that humans are the bane of all living things and will remove them at all costs.

Vulcan leads this group on his personal vendetta against the human race.

I was going to join last time, but I never did.

Changes to Walker's past:

During the last war, he turned down the job to fight against the USFN, therefore he was never captured by them, imprisoned and tortured. He still works as a mercenary and is found wandering from one planet to the next, taking various jobs.

Change to Neostar's History:

Neo was never retired from 4th Echelon. He continues to work with them to this day and has advanced from basic field operative to full fledged spy-assassin.

Neo's average day involves him leading a seemingly normal life, he walks around in civilian clothes and keeps a small group of aquaintances that he occasionally dines with, but when his comm receives a certain message, he gets up, walks away, collects a weapon and eliminates his assigned target, gathering whatever intelligence necessary in the process. Neo's usual style is long-range sniping, but he'll occasionally take it up close and personal if he has no other choice.

Sounds very Bourne, huh? In truth this was always how I had envisioned Neo when he was an operative.

I'm in. Definitely. I'll also be playing Stella in this. Her main obvious change is that she never died let alone she never became an Inquisitor. She is still one of the top leading medical leaders known to most species and continues to do her research, (physical, mental, field study, as well as self-experimentation). She hasn't been joined onto the team of the Black Star/ArchAngel at all at this point and has no communication with the military at this point other then creating medical breakthrough shit for them.


(Wow, this is pushing her character back SEVERAL years.)

I'll post a character sheet in awhile...I'm on muscle relaxers so cut me a little slack. Hehe.
