The Kuras Tetrarchy

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 11:02 pm

The Question:
Looking over some of the stuff posted semi-recently, is a venture into the Story Threads for a government still necessary before moving to the MBT? If so, that's fine, but I just wanted to be clear...

The Notice:
WARNING: Some spoilers for great stories such as "And the Desolate Take Solace..." follow - read at your own risk.

The Answers:
Who?!
Me, first of all, and then anyone else who wants to join or participate.

What?!
A tetrarchy: Freyel, a Ryn spy, Jex Sirri, an Omwati smuggler, Gideon Corey, a Force-sensitive colony leader, and Arelim Seron, human pirate and former bounty hunter. Also making an appearance will be Eric Noble (see Gideon or Jex's link), but not so centrally as these tetrarchs.

Where?!
The Kuras System - specifically, Kuras IV, which is separated from the rest of the system by the Kuras Asteroid Belt; that system is separated from the rest of the Elrood Sector (located directly between the Kathol Sector and that area of Loris space with Shesharile, on our map - by rights, it should probably land right on top of Seier, but we really can't do that, can we?) by the Drift.

When?!
As soon as possible.

Why?!
Because I want to bring together some good characters that I like and make a great story which can be more focused on working with the rest of the MBT - namely, a government, comprised of characters and creations of my own.

How?!
I'll start with Freyel. He has plenty of connections (namely, Jex Sirri), and will be in the process of acquiring the planet - a sudden pique of interest, a sudden spur-of-the-moment hobby. Crazy Ryn spies are like that, sometimes. I may bring in Arelim before the rest of the crew, but then, I may wait a bit. We'll see.

Gideon and Jex, along with the bulk of the government - that is, the colony currently established on Solace Station (again, see Gideon or Jex's link above) - will come along as soon as that story arch is finished. And yes, this means that both men will survive... can't really say for anybody else, though.

The Needs:
What I need from you guys is, first of all, an answer to my question at the beginning of this post. I also would not be remiss against any participation in the storyline(s) and future government called... *drumroll*... The Kuras Tetrarchy.

It's never been necessary, but is usually recommended for new writers.

I'm pretty sure you can jump right in.

Really? Sweet. Then I'll do that... erm... later. 'Cause, right now, I've expended my creative energy on continuing "And the Desolate Take Solace...". Shucks.

Post by **Jagtai** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 1:48 am

I have to agree with Neuge. The original requirement was instituted to prevent the Shunters of the world from making GMed governments

Btw, what about Jag'Tai? He is still in Protection, after all. I wouldn't mind having him join the thread.

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 3:05 am

Sure. 'Cause, after all, Protection will basically just be thrown to the dogs (i.e., Stranger's character and crew

) when Arelim leaves. So it'd probably be smoothest for Jag'Tai to leave, as well.

MBT Thread

Wow. Incredible. I wrote a generic plan for the first part of this thread - which should last a while - and I haven't even finished the first point yet. And there are a lot of points. But I guess some are more detailed than others, and the first left a lot of room for improvization.

Post by **Mir** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 12:34 pm

Hmm...I'd be willing to join. Just matters on what you need/want.

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 9:56 pm

Well, at the moment, all I need is time. Once the government starts to roll a bit more, more interaction would definitely be welcome... we'll have to see how things go from here. I've got things planned for a ways, like I said, but after that...

Like I said, we'll have to see.

Post by **Mir** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 4:26 am

Works for me, Arch.

Post by **Mir** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 6:54 am

Keep it going Arch!!

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 8:55 am

I will, don't you worry - but I've got a lot on my plate at the moment. Final exams - on two years' worth of work - start after next week, and continue for three weeks. So I'll be pretty busy for that amount of time. After that, I'm home free, and things should run quite smoothly for a while - though Internet access may be somewhat sparse. *shrugs*

So this could take a while.

Post by **Mir** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 9:30 am

Alot on your plate, more like a six course meal

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Tue May 23, 2006 8:17 am

You're up, Jag.

You know what's weird? The number 666 keeps recurring with me. My Honor points for last week's 22 Honorable Kills in WoW - 666. The Kuras Tetrarchy thread? 6 replies, 66 views when I last posted.

...

Post by **Mir** » Tue May 23, 2006 8:34 am

When can others jump in?

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Tue May 23, 2006 8:52 am

Well, at the moment, I've still got sort of a direction I need to take it in... you know, since there's no real government yet. But, I suppose, I could let you in on a few of the details about Lark's operation and you could post related to that... or somesuch. I'm not quite sure at the moment.

What were you thinking of? That is, what's your idea?

Post by **Jagtai** » Tue May 23, 2006 10:00 am

I'll post asap.

Post by **Jagtai** » Tue May 23, 2006 11:36 am

Posted. It is a bit non-descript, since I don't know if you want me to do anything specific

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Tue May 23, 2006 11:26 pm

Well, I wouldn't mind if we went to the turbolifts and you opened a can of...

I mean, it wouldn't have bothered me if you had posted the killing of the Trandoshan bounty hunter. But I'll move us along next time I post, and maybe we can both kill him. Or... work together to kill him, 'cause we couldn't both kill him. You know what I mean.

Post by **Jagtai** » Wed May 24, 2006 1:15 am

Ah. Well, if you move us to meeting the Trandoshan, I'll kill him. I'll do it fast and bloody too

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Sun May 28, 2006 10:32 pm

Sorry I'm so slow in posting. I've got lots of packing I'm supposed to be doing. Moving one's life possessions on an airplane is no easy feat

Also sorry for GMing your character a tiny bit there, Jag, but I figured it'd be better to get things back on one of the ships (or on another planet, or something) where we could discuss what all is going on.

Post by **Jagtai** » Mon May 29, 2006 3:06 am

No problem, Arch, RL life takes precedence. And I don't mind people using my characters as long as they do it right

I'll just make a short post of getting them back to the docks; then you can decide if they talk in the docks, or if they board their ships.

Post by **Jagtai** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 9:29 am

I don't know what to post, so I'll just wait until I see an opening

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 7:17 pm

Well, I might make the next post unless Mirrodin jumps in. Either way, you don't have to post anything... I just left room for your reactions in case you wanted to.

Post by **Jagtai** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 9:42 pm

I'd rather let the reader imagine how Jag'Tai reacts than post a one-liner

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Sun Jun 18, 2006 10:23 pm

I'll post ASAP. I can't guarantee 'Net access for any amount of time... until, um... like... July or August. So I won't guarantee any posts anytime soon, but they may appear out of the blue.

Post by **Mir** » Sun Jun 18, 2006 11:23 pm

No problem for me. I don't know if Jag will be happy or not, you can never tell with the Boss, tempramental sort of fellow.

*Scurries off to post on the Black Star Confederacy Thread*

Post by **Jagtai** » Sun Jun 18, 2006 11:27 pm

Nah, no problem for me. Feeling a tad uninspired at the moment anyway

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 10:19 pm

I posted! Yay!

Hey, look, I posted in "And the Desolate Take Solace...", too. I'm on a roll!

...

Well, not really. That's two posts. In an hour. Not bad, but I'm not carrying on, so it's not really a "roll", per se.

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 12:42 pm

I'm thinking we might just do a time skip, sort of. I need Arelim to check the ship messages when he gets back to his, so that wouldn't be much of one, but at this point, it might be easier to move forward to Arelim and Jag'Tai joining Lark's organization, as well as the Muir and Freyel sharing whatever information they can find on the deed. There would be discussion of Yerrix's message at that time, as well.

Plus, I need to work out exactly how Yerrix is going to get out of his predicament. So this OOC discussion gives me a few notches of time to think about that.

Thoughts? Objections? Alternatives?

Post by **Mir** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 3:59 pm

Works for me man.

Post by **Jagtai** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 12:00 am

Fine by me

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 10:55 am

Okay, so... I'll move everything forward... soon.

...

Classes start tomorrow.

Post by **Mir** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 10:35 am

lol, I gotta go up to my college on the 24th. Move-in is 26th. But classes don't start till after Labor Day.

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 12:52 pm

Classes started today.

... They weren't so bad. Listened to David Crowder live in chapel.

Post by **Mir** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 3:42 pm

Er...Who's that again?

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 3:54 pm

I can't tell if you're joking... or seriously don't know... or what. But yeah, he's a pretty popular Christian musician (in case you weren't joking), and he lives here in Waco, so he plays at Baylor and some churches around town when he's not on tour. Or busy.

Post by **Mir** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 4:51 pm

Wasn't joking, and thanks for the info.

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 1:45 pm

Given the circumstances, I figured it was better if Jag and Arelim joined up with Lark separately. Plus, I have everybody arriving at different times to avoid associating the two, especially for when the "stuff" hits the fan.

Post by **Mir** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 2:58 pm

Gotcha.

Archangel · Post by **Archangel** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 8:59 pm

After I wrap up And the Desolate Take Solace... (I've just finished the "Main Quest"), they'll be able to move around a bit before Freyel contacts Jex Sirri about help in this whole "Kuras System" thing. Freyel won't know about the colony, so he'll probably ask if the Purgatory's Escape would be willing to help in a battle against Lark - and Jex'll get everybody to agree, 'cause Kuras IV would be the kind of perfect sanctuary they're looking for - without the crazy spirits.

And thus will begin the Kuras Tetrarchy...
