Well after reading the brief it's time to work on an idea or twenty.:drool:
So I thought I'd start with a story...
Missive from Clericon Amblin Clearwater to Sinod General Foster.
Dear Brother,
I had hoped that I could have retired from the fight and be left alone, only to be remembered in story or legend, however a recent event has forced my hand.
Living Metal has been sighted not more than a days travel from my recluse. I shall say no more on the subject as we both know the implications of it's very existance.
The locals are conjuring stories of demons and monster, hysteria is running wild and I must act to to stem the tide before it becomes a flood and all we have worked for is lost.
'Other' agents are already at work, and through 'frank' discussions I have learned of a 'race' to find the doorway.
It pains me to face the advent of war again old friend, the like of you and I pay a terrible price in its waging and I have waged war longer than any other. I am concious that I may be 'lost' in the coming battle. Be ready for the signs and do what must be done.
Finally, a personal favour comrade. We must pass the 'Torch' to All.
There is no time for hesistation, if we fall, there must be others to fight on! Some of our brethren will call this Heresy! and Treason!
I call it prudence. Too long have the Sinod lived blinkered small lives. The Time of Greatness approaches, Legends will be born and may the Gods have mercy on us all!
Your Friend and Brother,
Dyson.
I'm going with a clericon for start, I'm thinking that it fits my idea from the brief, a character that can drain the essence from an enemy.
When the Ultimate Weapon was fired, For an instant all electrons were for a better word 'shunted' from this universe. The Ultimate Weapon was able to pick-a-stitch in the very fabric of the Universe on a grand scale.
However, the once stable universe, it's fabrice now frayed, with it's negative pressure, pulled on it's parent branes and a new 'dark electron' was brought forth to fill that void, less all baryonic matter would have dissolved in a wave of neutron radiation.
The new 'dark electron' taking the place of the old, caused a side effect. The shunted electron, still existed, only in a different Dimension and a different Phase. That shift was not complete however, the old electron still had a fleeting, fluctuating connection it's parent Universe. The results of this were profound, entropy was no longer the predominant force in the Universe. There was an excess of energy in all matter.
In time, sentient life began to adapt to the excess of energy, Evolution had a new resource and the Age of Magic was born. Beings born in the new Universe were able to harness the excess energy and manipulate it according to their Will.
Technology was dead, the old and new dark electron vied for the same physical space, making electronics unrealiable at best and at worst, deadly. Like Cilla and Charybdis they circle each other now vying for Dominance.
So I thought I'd start with a story...
