I'm in. PM me and please brief me on the progress, Matsamu.
How about doing a little mythic history of the world (I already have an idea on that). Say, how if we make the great continent Pangea as our home country? That would be something.
Here's the storyline I propose: (I've been brainstorming about this since last year)
There were only humans, animals and plants in this world. (Let's not discuss about God because we may end up fighting each other)
Evil substance (I write substance because I don't know in what form it's going to be) was there too, wanting to screw people's lives.
Evil went to people who love birds at the sky, saying that he can give them wings. He went to people who love the fish in the ocean, saying that he could make them breathe in the water. He went to people who like horses, saying he could make them run like horses. He went to people who beauty, singing and music, saying that he could make the world more beautiful - with those people as the rulers. He also went to people who liked to stay as children and thought that the world should be governed by children.
He promised good fortune, and the kingdom of the world to be their own. So he made a war within Pangea (there were no kings or so, only the communities were different). He turned many humans into bird-men, mermaids and mermen, centaurs, elves, dwarfs.
They (the people) were happy. They went to war. No one won (of course. everybody had the same evil power).
after the war, worse things happen. They figured out that they could not die, just getting older and older and older. They wanted to fight the evil within them, but they couldn't. Some gave up and became the soldiers of evil. Some chose to fight and build their own kingdom through out Pangea.
Our little story started here, with humans as the main characters. I'd like to insert magic, but please don't make them magicians. I'd like to make them "cooperating with nature's forces". Ohhhh... I forgot. Let's make people who love plants and turn them into forest guardians! Fire lover into fire guardian, etc. You get my point already.
Please note that all the creatures were already making a mistake and infected with evil, but some gave in and some regretted their decision. Our characters will fight the ones who joined the evil force. Some of the creatures would willingly help them, they wanted to take off from the dreary world. Some would hesitant to help - they did not want to die. Some would simply exclude themselves from the world and did not want to be involved in anything what so ever.
Please let me know what you guys think, or what you guys have made for the plot. Count me in!! (Sorry I couldn't read all the 11 pages of this topic)
