So I've been sitting on this for a while.
« on: July 12, 2011, 12:07:14 pm »

It all started with This.

I was very much into legos back then, and I had wanted to start something original. I was thinking about central leadership, and general naming schemes, when I came up with an organization based on the letters of the alphabet.

I called this organization the Order of the Twenty-Six.

Stupid, I know, but it was a start.

I named a lot of the Order after people I knew. G was the, now that I think about it, marty stu-ish main character, R was based off my best friend at the time, a very athletic guy named Ryan. C was based off a war enthusiast named Chris, and so on.

I needed something to make the Order less weak and more useful, so I gave each a mutation. This is where I came up with the whole each-order-member-is-distinguished-at-birth. So G had accelerated healing, R had Incredible speed, C had hulk-like strength, and so on.

I was really into the star wars AU as well. In one of the lesser books, there was a one-off briefly mentioned puppet organization called Offworld Mining.

Thus was born the Offworld Mining Company.

So, I had the main Protagonist organization, the O26, and the Main antagonists, the Offworld Mining co.

After that I started filling out the world I had created. I was into crappy rp's at the time, so I used G as my character, and explained it away as dimensional tearing.

AND HOLY SHIT DID THAT COME BACK TO BITE ME IN THE ASS, but that's not the point.

I established that the Order was slowly dying, and if all of the members died out, then the alliance between the Sinnians, known as the Sons of David, and the United Systems, the remnants of The long dead planet Earth, would collapse.

I established several vehicles, such as the Vulture PTC (Parasite Transport Craft), The Sparrow Hoverbike, and the Gull-class dropship.

I established a timeline of sorts, with a very sad ending.

And I've been sitting on this for almost two years.

So, I'll use this as sort of a database. Using Google docs and the spoiler function, i'll archive almost all the shit i've had up in my brain.

Later. I'll do it later.

Cool story, bro. Never heard of that service before, reminded me of AoS.

Anyway, it's been about a week, figured I should post the Phlebtonium first.

That... may or may not be comprehensible. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

The second hardest part about a project is getting the idea for it.  The hardest is getting started.  Just get started if you enjoy it.  If you're procrastinating, it's because you don't know if you can.  I say, "Stop worrying about that and just do it!"  I like the pretense, it sounds like it'd make a fun story line.

Created a new VTOL so I wouldn't have to think of the Vulture as the O26's main form of transport.

God, I need to write this shit down.

So I will.

More later, for now these would be the main players in any major conflict whatsoever.

I did something not unlike this back when I played with legos a lot. Covered an entire table with a military base, had some back story, etc. The funny thing was that my mom didn't really approve of war-toys (I was pretty young) so my friend and I decided that the entire thing was for the purpose of cairbou hunting.

That made my day.

Right, so the new  VTOL...


It's sort of a circular Osprey if I think about it...

I've drawn it a few times, i'll upload something later.

I need to build this up more. Somewhere I have some planets, but let's start with the already mentioned ones.
