Time Skip to Future (Several years, no current threats, heavy magic restrictions, living their own lives for the moment)

Matrix Wake Up -Layar- (Lost the final battle and were captured by the Layar. Have woken up to worl taken over. MUCH weaker than believed in 'Matrix')

Matrix Wake Up -Osmodias- (Dreamworld due to mass mind control and mind domination. Powers lost or exaggerated in the dream state)

Ashley Void Takeover Plot? (Void being takeover)

Random Voters thingy for those who feel like voting for nothing.

[Akroma]

well then IRIS in 5 years, what is it, what does it do? What does Kyle do?

[kj1225]

IRIS continues advancing it's agenda as well as combining the best of magic and technology while Kyle goes into hiding while his mental state slowly deteriorates from the tentacles and lack of civilization. And he might improve his armor further. Who knows.

[Empiricist]

What is it's agenda and how does it advance it?

[Akroma]

what is IRIS agenda?


also, what part of the reboot is it that you have problems with?


we have plenty of time to iron things out to work towards the best possible situation

[Empiricist]

And the more detailed the response, the clearer the setting becomes. How is IRIS getting funded, getting equipment, having influence? Through what means does it gain more of it?

[kj1225]

World peace between the mundane and supernatural. I've said this multiple times. They don't use violent methods unless they need to.

I don't like the whole 'peopleof just let the toltarian government happen' thing. It's about as realistic as a conspircy theory.

[Kansa]

I never thought it was a totalitarian government that we were suggesting, it's just a government that has high restrictions on how magic is used.

[Empiricist]

How is having laws for magic totalitarian? I would presume it to be more along the lines of expanding drug laws to cover supernatural phenomenon with similar effects, certain laws having their definitions changed to cover magic use and more or less determine what constitutes as an abuse of power. This does not necessarily mean magic is banned nor is it persecuted, merely that society is adapting to it.

Also, how is IRIS getting funded, getting equipment, having influence?

[kj1225]

How is discrimination against a set of people not like that? What if they did it to Jewish people or black people?

And I am not in the position to type all that up.

[Empiricist]

How is including magic in laws so that people can't use loopholes discrimination? At what point was governmental discrimination even mentioned?

[USEC_OFFICER]

How is discrimination against a set of people not like that? What if they did it to Jewish people or black people?

Because, last I checked, Jewish people can't shoot fireballs out of their hands. Because if they did, WWII would have turned out very differently.

[Xantalos]

If ethnic Jews had a variety of magical abilities that could seriously screw over people who they interacted with? Yeah, I'd support regulation of that.

[Kansa]

Well I don't think we are suggesting that they would go around locking all magic people up, they would simply need a government approved licence to practice magic legally. Sort of like a gun licence

[kj1225]

How is it at all legal to monitor people who can for example move a spoon one foot at exactly migldnight? Because that's magic as well and that would be something that needs to happen according to your suggestion.

Why would you allow people to need to be watched over something they can't control like their eye color?

[Akroma]

magic is too dangerous to be left uncontroled. Kinda like explosives, or simply handguns. Useful for civil uses, but no government in the world will be happy if you just run around using that kinda stuff for your own interests, without any form of license and register. That's not totalitarian, that's sensible. IRIS can not keep the anti-magic shields secret from humanity (and not expect a massive backlash for trying to do so). The anti-magic shield with the whitelist system is convenient, and seemingly a perfect solution. If your magic is harmless, just get some sort of magic license, like a drivers license, which includes some very basic psychological evaluation, and tests that you have your magic under controle - yes, magic people could kill thousands even without being evil madmen, just look at Alice and her curse. If you are harmless, bam, whitelisted, enjoy your magic. If your magic is primarily explosions and death, you have no business using that kinda stuff unregulated in a major city


it's not discrimination, it's that if you can't controle and/or your emotions, magic users may be a danger to themselves and others.


it's also about equality. mind-readers or mind-controlers, super speedy people or people like Will, there is no such thing as a fair competition against people like this. It's not like mages have to live in ghettos because they are dirty and blah, and if they have to, then certainly not in all countries. France seems like a place where that would not happen, that's more china or russia style. All that is asked is that if you can cause and earthquake, the government would like to know that, and if you cause one without permission, your ass is grass. That's how law works. Replace the word magic with gun and bam - there will be tons of people who will tell you that the above laws are not nearly strict enough. And magic can be way more dangerous than guns. Remember the dude who teleported air into a tight spot so it underwent nuclear fission
