Controversal opinion, I don't like threadhoppers. I think that for big, random threads like bfts, tlt, or even sometimes SE, (and especially the Door-Ways, but that bit's obvious) they are fine, but if you ever want to make any concievable sort of story, or plot or really any worldbuilding, threadhoppers are detrimental to that.

Hmm I guess

However for me it's easier to just use an existing character with an already existing backstory than making a new one

Also for some characters, like Starseeker, who I feel have a lot of potential, I want to keep them alive to see where their story takes them

"Ver. Lovely, wonderful. What are you?"

At that comment, Ver felt a tinge of a phantom smirk pulling at the side of his face. Welcome in his current state of sorrow. He walked over to Rane, standing over him so he could be heard over the storm.

"When I gained consciousness a couple of weeks ago - I'm not exactly sure how long it has been - I was an Antivirus of the Cloud, Agent of an intergalactic civilization dedicated to protecting the Framework and exterminating the threats of viruses, beings that interfere with the fabric of our world. Then I met a group of extraordinary individuals, and realized my overlords were evil. I broke free, and tried to organize a resistance against them." He looked down, and his next words carried spite. "As you can see, that didn't work out great for me."

Oxy looked around. Where was he?

Last he remembered...

He was in that place. Yes, the one far away.

And then...

He tried to escape? Why?

Oh. Yes. Because of that.

Seems 'that' has finally come for him.

He looked around one last time, and saw them.

The other Primals.

Oh no.

Their heads were chopped off.

'that' slowly aproached him.

"Tell me... Who you are."

"I-I'm Oxy! Oxymoron!"

"No. Who you were."

"That doesn't matter anymore."

"Tell me why you've invaded this timeline."

"I didn't! I just-I met the thing at the end of reality!"

"Not good enough. How did you get the power to travel through time?"

"I-I don't know! Really!"

Oxy didn't know how 'that' killed all the other Primals.

Oxy only knew that 'that' was dangerous.

Still, Oxy was preparing his escape.

"I see. You're trying to leave? A shame. I was hoping I could get more information."

"N-NO!" Oxy screamed, while preparing his last refuge of power.

'that' pulled out a knife.

"N-no... How do you have that knife?"

Oxy didn't know who 'that' is, all he knew was that 'that' had been following.

And 'that''s knife?

That knife was made of the darkness at the end of the timeline.

"NO!"

Slice.

Oxy, with his last refuge of power, sent out a message.

'Someone has claimed the power of the darkness. 'that' killed me.'

"Well that's just offensive. Calling me 'that', cmon. I have a name ya know."

 

Ver was about to ask Rane where he was from, and if he could find them a shelter, when something crashed through his consciousness. He released a screech as his void-body contorted, overrun with a massive surge of energy. For an instant, he felt true pain. Pain as he had never felt. Then the instant was over, and he was somewhere else. He was looking out the eyes of another. A being, carrying a knife of such darkness even Ver could not comprehend, smiled and walked towards him. Lying on the ground, he felt fear turn his circuits cold. And then he heard the voice.

"Someone has claimed the power of the darkness. 'that' killed me." OXY... it was Oxy. Oxy... NO.

"Well that's just offensive. Calling me 'that', cmon. I have a name ya know." Ver screamed one last time, and the vision collapsed.

He didn't immediately return to the real world. No, as the pain faded, Ver's consciousness found itself hurled through a stream of visions and sensations. Then they solidified. A newly created Antivirus, Agent 209845 stood before the Singularity. Before an enormous, pure white mass, it bowed down to receive it's first instruction.

"The Framework is ours. Protect it." The vision faded. The new agents were paraded out onto the deck of a ship. 209845 stepped past the others to look over the edge, and saw it. A planet, consumed by an inconceivable storm of darkness that roiled over its surface, begging to escape. It released rhythms of hunger, of pain, of begging. Once again, 209845 bowed. The darkness smiled.

...

Ver came to on the rainy mud, and glitched. He screamed, jumping up, seeing a terrified man before him. Who was that? He prepared his zapper, began to stalk towards him menacingly, prepared to Destroy, until he recognized Rane. Ver stumbled back. Then he fell back on the floor, sat on a rock, and wept.

I don't know how long he was out, but I'm assuming the entire conversation between Rane and the Fox

Twinstorm, maybe Rane knows a way to get out of this storm? And to wherever Reva and Lati are?

EVERYBODY READ THIS. YES YOU

Okay so some stuff.

First @Through The Living KSauce on the topic of threadhoppers: yes, we've had some. And there's no strict policy, but I, personally, don't want this RP to become a place where threadhoppers meet up and stuff. So you can bring them in, just make sure they aren't too OP, and make sure they can run with the separate plot we've got going on here.

Okay for everyone else:

https://www.17thshard.com/forums/topic/199587-cuz-im-bored-worldbuilding/

Here's the Worldbuilding+ thread. If you're a new player, it's got info on everything like the Web and the Cloud and the Framework.

There's also a plot summary of everything up til now that I'm going to upload separately here:

Spoiler

  Volume 1: Açila

Part 1: Beginnings

Spoiler

Owen looks over the horizon, observing the red storm that has stationed itself in the distance. A native of Açila, he carries the legacy of his father.

A comet crashes near him, and out emerges Jidah Ka'Orum, a fallen immortal unwittingly crashed into the surface of this world. A rustle in the bushes leads to the emergence of Lati, an incorporeal being with a childlike personality and a mysterious past. As Owen, Jidah, and Lati converse, more unusual characters appear. The worldhopper Réva observes their exchange for a while before getting involved, and the cryptic SpiritOfWrath makes a brief appearance.

Eventually, the discussion is interrupted by the arrival of 209845, a Cloud antivirus sent by its superiors in the red storm (Cloud command) to delete viruses in this area. After quickly mistaking Lati for a virus and calling for reinforcements, 209845 finds itself intrigued by this group and decides to stick with them.

The Cloud fleet, called by 209845, arrives in the forest, and the group quickly moves away. Jidah proposes searching for civilization, and so the group makes its way towards the Dusklands. On their way, Rhyme and the Fox arrive, and 209845 marvels at the curiosity and contradictions of mortals. Jidah and the Fox coordinate a meeting with Dazh, the Sun and leader of the Açila pantheon, to see if she can recover her immortality.

Part 2: A Meeting with God

Spoiler

The group emerges into the Dusklands as the sun rises, and 209845 is shocked by the beauty it witnesses. The Fox calls Dazh, who brings the party into a vision. Dazh explains to Jidah that he, too, was cast down at one point, and she must discover first why she fell before reclaiming her divinity. 209845 is stunned by Dazh's power, and receives a communication from Cloud command warning it not to engage. But 209845 has begun to doubt. It has seen beauty in the world. And it doesn't want it to end.

209845 cuts off its communication with the Cloud, then engages Dazh. 209845 explains to the Sun the power and intentions of the Cloud, and pleads with the god to blind its connection with the Cloud that allows them to track it. Dazh complies, and soon after, the party emerges from the vision into a forest.

As the party reconvenes, 209845 watches the Cloud fleet descend on the spot in the horizon where they had been instants before.

Part 3: Into the Underground

Spoiler

The party is interrupted by the arrival of 17, a refugee from some sort of human experiments in a nearby town. 209845 worries that the Cloud will be searching for it, and pleads with the Fox until it reveals that there is a system of underground tunnels with an entrance nearby where they can hide. 209845 leads the party into the tunnels, and the Fox falls asleep due to the sunrise.

The tunnels are dimly illuminated by a bioluminescent moss, and as 209845 scrapes away some dirt from the walls, it realizes these are the remnants of an ancient civilization. The party hears howls from the distance, and they begin to race down the tunnels, searching for a safe room. The howls begin to surround the party, until Jidah stumbles into a dark intersection, and a shape emerges from the shadows.

The feline virus leaps at Jidah, but 209845 instinctively leaps in front of it, and zaps it. The virus dissolves from the zap, and after a quip, 209845 is tossed to the floor by more viruses. Other viruses begin to attack other parts of the group.

Lati discovers she can burn the viruses, and 17 discovers she can do something similar with Jidah's blade of light. As they fight on their respective fronts, 209845 suddenly bursts from underneath a pile of viruses, having activated "Instant Kill Mode". Its light turns red, and it becomes a killing machine, cognitive capacities sacrificed for pure deadly capacity. It tears through the viruses with ruthless efficiency in an epic fight scene.

Meanwhile, 17 encounters a pair of inagressive viruses and reaches out to touch them. One of the viruses leans in, and begins to purr, showing they are not completely evil.

209845 finishes tearing through the viruses, even as the final ones attempt to run and whimper for mercy. They receive none. The viruses 17 is bonding flee. 209845, still in Instant Kill Mode, struggles to accept the fight is over, and identifies Réva as its next target. It begins to approach Réva, but is suddenly slammed into by Jidah.

209845 snaps back to its senses, and it and Jidah get into a huge fight. Jidah runs off down one passage crying, and is followed by Lati and Sigismund, while the rest of the group follows the viruses that fled. 209845 feels crushed inside.

Part 4: What Comes Next

Spoiler

209845's group arrives at an old temple, and they go up into a living room. The room has a large window, and through it is observable an enormous chamber filled with thousands upon thousands of viruses. Floating in the middle of the chamber is the Rift, a tear in reality.

Jidah is reassured by Lati, and they set out to rejoin the main group. On their way, they encounter a mysterious man who introduces himself as 17's Maker and asks for them returned.

After making sure the others are comfortable, 209845 and Rhyme go down to search for the other group. Down in the temple, they run into Spirit, a mysterious man who claims to want to aid them in their quest. They hear voices in the distance, and run into the other group.

209845 questions the Maker, and the pair get into a fight. Transient hears the events from above the tunnels and descends to see what's going on.

209845 realizes the maker is too powerful to take on alone, so it somehow instinctively replicates the rhythms used by the viruses to communicate from before and sics them on the Maker. Spirit and Transient both begin fighting the viruses, and Sigismund sneaks off to the temple to fetch 17.

The Maker is still standing, Sigismund returns with 17, and 209845 freaks out knowing that the conflict was heard from above surface. Suddenly, the Primal Oxymoron appears out of nowhere, and 209845 quits its fight against the Maker, dismissing the viruses.

The Maker and 17 leave the tunnels, followed by Réva and Sigismund, while the rest hurry under 209845's guidance into the virus chamber. The clock is ticking, as the Cloud is on its way.

The party uses Jidah's force shield, hooked to the Rift, to traverse the chamber safely, but as they reach the wall, they begin to have their doubts, and the Cloud arrives.

Part 5: The Battle of the Rift / the End of the Beginning

Spoiler

The Cloud sets up a barrier around the virus chamber. Elan arrives at the barrier and begins to test it, drawing the Cloud's attention. From the same direction, Calix begins to approach down the tunnel, drawing the attention of a Cloud sentinel. Wrath arrives to meet the party in the virus chamber.

The party notices Elan's arrival, and while 209845 is still recovering from its shutdown, they approach Elan and begin interacting. By the time 209845 rushes to warn them, it is too late. The Cloud has already arrived on the location.

Three Cloud antiviruses arrive at the tunnel, and 209845 pretends to be kidnapped, prompting one of the antiviruses to drop the barrier temporarily to rescue it. 209845 seizes the chance to slip through and break into its mind, and takes out the antiviruses, but not before they call for reinforcements.

Réva returns.

The rest of the Cloud army arrives at the other end of the tunnel, including an Ambassador, designed to combat gods. But 209845 has an army of its own. It uses its new connection to drop the barrier, and calls forth an army of viruses to fight the Cloud.

As the two forces clash in the tunnel, dozens of antiviruses activate Instant Kill Mode and 209845 begins to make its way towards the Ambassador, who has begun to reach out to Spirit, Wrath and Oxy. The rest of the party hunkers down near the mouth of the chamber, but are attacked by waves of sentinels. Traumatized, Lati hides in an ever deeper hole in the earth. As 209845 feels a new kind of emotion and pushes forth into the Ambassador's inner circle, Oxy, who was previously broken, somehow regains full sanity to protect his new friends and takes control of his Primal powers, blasting the Ambassador into oblivion (technically another time period, but same dif).

For a second, it seems as though the good guys are winning, but then the full force of the Cloud army stationed in the tunnels arrives. 209845 prepares for the worst, but instead of pressing forth, the Cloud forces simply pull back and line up at the end of the tunnel. A booming voice (that of a Cloud Megamind, who has taken control of all the Cloud agents in the tunnel) calls for a ceasefire on both sides as they negotiate with Oxy. In response, 209845 calls back the viruses, who line up at the mouth of the chamber.

For a while, the two forces face off in a dramatic climax. The center of the tunnel is a no-mans land, and standing alone in it are 209845 and Jidah, who teleported to check on it. It is an epic scene. Nothing dares break the negotiations. And then, all of a sudden, Wrath begins to walk.

Without caring for propriety, Wrath takes on a form of flame and begins to storm down the center of the tunnel, taunting the Cloud. The Megamind continues to usher threats, but seems to act more and more worried. 209845 realizes it is scared of Oxy's power, and encourages Wrath. Wrath and Oxy begin to affect the Cloud agents' connections with the Megamind, and in a desperate act, the Megamind begins to recall them, clearing the tunnel until all the Cloud agents are gone. Following the act, the Megamind receives a communication from the Mother stationed on Açila, agent 6, reflecting on its disappointment. The Megamind pleas for mercy, but the Mother resets it, and the Cloud pulls back its presence in the chambers. The battle is won. Our heroes have done the impossible. They have beat the Cloud.

In the aftermath, Réva helps Lati crawl out of her bubble. 209845 rejects the Cloud completely, and receives a new name from Lati. Ver.

Agent of Justice.

Part 6: The Search for Jidah

Spoiler

Following the battle, our heroes get a brief respite to regroup, and Lati finds joy in being able to touch Réva and Jidah without hurting them. Jidah stores some of the power of the Rift in simple objects, to be able to draw on it later, and puts forth the idea of traveling to her world to recruit help agains the Cloud. The peace is interrupted, however, by the arrival of Latent. After a short conflict between Jidah and Latent, Jidah flees from the world, going so far as to cut her connection from Ver.

Ver tries to track Jidah, refusing to continue without here, and, with a chill, realizes she has gone somewhere unmapped by the Cloud. Kelyx suddenly pops into the area, claiming to be searching for Jidah, much to Lati's excitement. Sigismund, unable to break into the home of the Maker, returns to the main party. Kelyx took the party to a "Custom", where they met a Star and were forced to relinquish dangerous aspects of their power before moving on to the mainland.

The Cloud showed no resistance to their exit; it wanted them to leave the system. Getting back in will be harder.

The process was interrupted by the sudden reappearance of Wrath, who refused to give up his power, despite Ver urging him to concede. Wrath challenged the Star to a fight, but overestimated his abilities in this controlled environment, and was promptly expelled from the system. As soon as Wrath was gone, Of appeared. Much more amiable, he was willing to meet the Star's terms. He turned over a powerful artifact he called the Slumber, warning the Star of it's extreme power.

After some extended negotiation, the group was finally ready to descend to the surface. They arrived in a field, and Kelyx guided them to a small village, where they quickly encountered cheerful crowds - and a less cheerful, sassy, hovering girl named Daryglade, with a... Sennight? Balance? After a short while where Latent was returned to Custom for pausing Daryglade, and Kelyx led the party to a hut, where they found Jidah surprised by their appearance. Latent apologizes for earlier, and Réva reminisces about a distant past.

Things slowing down, Ver confronts Of about the true intentions of the Aspects of Eternity while Latent receives odd advice from Daryglade. The talk of conflict reminds Ver of the situation in Açila, and he turns to Kelyx to seek the help of the Stars in the conflict. At this time, the Fox awakens, and Of expresses interest in leaving. The two return to Custom. Hearing Ver's plea for an audience with the Stars, the rest of the party is also returned to Custom.

Ver does all he can to convince the Stars to help Açila eventually reaching an agreement: Ver will do all he can to restore Jidah's divinity, in exchange for the consideration of the deities of the Pocket and the return of his lost memories. Angry at the Stars' hesitance, the Fox returns to Açila and begins to summon local deities, trying to fight his way back. Of leaves the Custom as well, presumably following him. Réva expressed interest in returning to Açila to save 17, and 209845 gave her a Cookie to communicate.

Of returns, claiming to have friends on standby; extremely powerful friends, including some being called Nergal, wielding something called the Plague. God of Death? Ver is utterly confused.

Some guy named Ctholis arrives, and Ver agrees to follow him to a world where they may find allies to fight the Cloud on Açila...

Volume 2: ???

Part 1: In the Remnants of Disaster

Spoiler

A week after Ver and co. followed Ctholis, and something went wrong. Negotiations turned sour. Some enemy arrived, and our heroes were scattered.

Ver ended up on the ground of a world of thunder and storms, the dragon's domain. Rane, a native? falls on top of him, and the two meet. The Fox is somehow also there, and begins talking with Rane.

On another plane, the Primals are killed by a mysterious being with a blade of eternal darkness. As Oxy dies, he sends out a message. Ver receives the message, and it unlocks lost memories in his subconscious, revealing visions of his earliest days.

Réva and Lati ended up somewhere together, but it's not known where exactly. Jidah is not with them.

If you're knew to the RP, you don't need to read all that. Just create a character, and jump in! We'll figure it out together

A hooded figure stood far a way, just at the edge of your vision. When Ver tries to look at him straight ahead, the hooded figure vanished.
