Heart of Darkness Story

[member="Cira"] [member="Raziel"] [member="Irajah Ven"]

So I’m hoping that the three of us can come up with a plan for the narrative thread.

First of all, I wanted to make sure that Cira and Raz are still OK to handle part of this thread. If not, that’s no problems, just want to know before saddling you with a bunch of things.

My plan is to broadly break the people involved into 3-4 groups. These are broadly:
  • ‘Light’ characters including Jedi, Republic, Alliance, Outback etc.
  • ‘Neutral’ characters including Mandalorians, criminals, mercenaries and so on.
  • ‘Dark’ characters including Sith, First Order, Dark Jedi etc.
  • ‘Other’ for those characters who don’t fit in. However I don’t think this’ll be needed.

The plan is to start them in three separate locations but have them converge on the Omega through different means.

  • Light starts raiding the strip mines, head to Pollux airbase and use a ship from there to get aboard the Omega.
  • Neutral uses the ground battle as cover to infiltrate the Citadel and deactivate the shield, using that to get aboard the Omega.
  • Dark raids the Sith Academy, overcoming or suborning those there and finding a way to get on board the Omega.

At all points we should be flexible in how we do things. We want to get them onto the Omega of course, but we shouldn’t force them to go too quickly.

Once on the Omega the plan is to eventually have them meet up and engage Kith. We should look at opportunities at this point to set players against each other. Light will want to destroy it, Neutral will want to salvage it, and Dark will want to use it.

I have no firm plans whatsoever about how this goes down. Though the Omega cannot go into another faction’s hands at the end of the event…I’m not against
  1. A follow up thread as they try to use it.
  2. It being used in some form provided it’s controlled by us.
  3. Castameer is destroyed.
All of those are possible…but we’ll have to leave it and see.

The way I see it, we should divide the three groups between us. I suggest Irajah takes the ‘Dark’ group, and I’ll take ‘Neutral’. Cira and Raz can take the ‘Light’ groups, work together on that.
If you have a different preference let me know.

Now, I’ve left it pretty vague as to the blow-by-blow story because I am expecting to improvise, but I can formulate a more strict plan for any of these groups if desired.
Let me know on this too whether you’re fine with improvisation or want more structure.
 
Oh, I can do the Dark group in a Sith Academy *perfectly*. ::rubs hands together::

And if [member="Raziel"] and [member="Cira"] don't have the time/energy, I can also probably handle the light. [member="Valiens Nantaris"] with all the other stuff you are doing, you shouldn't have to handle two fronts.

I can handle any storyline for the Dark group without a concern- Keep them moving but keep it consequential. Give them a chance to loot artefacts, books, etc if they want to/that's okay. I have some ideas about how that might come back to bite some of them in the butts >.>

I will probably do occasional posts with Kith getting reports and sending out stuff as needed, but do the majority of my NPCing from this account if I'm just doing the Darksiders, or everything from Kith's account if I handle two fronts.

FTR- I am not opposed, if someone is being AMAZING, letting Kith die a real death in this event. But the person/people would have to be hearts to the wall kind of deal. I'm almost hoping that's the case.
 
I'm posting the Heart of Darkness intro post here while I work on it. That way if there's anything that people want/need added you can tell me here-

Also, so that if I'm not online when this gets started, the post can just be moved to the Omega IC forum when the time comes. I'll have it finished by then.

Edit- Pretty much set to go except for any edits/additions/etc that are required/desired. Let me know.
 
“I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes place in an impalpable greyness, with nothing underfoot, with nothing around, without spectators, without clamor, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great fear of defeat, in a sickly atmosphere of tepid skepticism,
without much belief in your own right,
and still less in that of your adversary.”
-Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

"Why aren't they waiting and allowing the Omega to charge up to full power?"

"I do not know, my lady. Perhaps the Admiral thinks that it is unnecessary? After all, they are fighting mere ships."

"Obviously the Admiral has underestimated these mere ships."

What fools these mortals be! They had assembled a fleet that, she had been assured, would be more than adequate to deal with any force hurtled against them. The Omega should never have been needed for such paltry tactics as naval tactics.

She reached out, chilled finger tips caressing the panel before her. She could barely feel the metal beneath her hands, and the barest trace of a frown ghosted across her features. How much longer then, did she have?

"Charge the Omega fully. Let us allow her to sing."

To Be Continued.....
