Starlight(Lore reboot) Storyboard thread

That's the keyword Arc, fleets. It'd take a fleet of ships just to take down an adult krystalsaurus (or whatever we decide to call it), and even then it's no guarantee that the fleet would be victorious

OK. Dinz it is.

ok, who's voting for Prox's idea of the manarrak crystal thing?

What? Nothing on the source of the crystals themselves?

what? did you not read Prox's post?

"And k, Manarak's fine. I think that it should just be possible for Manarak to grow on living organisms, but not be exclusively found that way. Some animals infected with Manarak could have the ability to use wild and uncontrolled magic. Observing this, organizations could attempt experiments on people by implanting them with Manarak, but rather than the implants allowing them to manipulate magic, it does something terrible to them." - Proxzki

If we say there's a source for them it better be impossible to re-create the process that makes the crystals. We don't want people to be capable of making legitimate Manarak. Now, we could have synthetic manarak that has its own properties...that could be interesting.

So how about the two types of this manarak? Star and Dark?

I guess the two types but work, but what would be the difference?

I dunno. We can come up with it later on when we need it to be a plot device of some kind. I guess its most common usage could be a common, but shorter-term power source than manarak. We seriously shouldn't expect manarak to be so common as to be used for everything, that would take away from its value and make hunting animals for their manarak less appealing.

I really dunno about Star and Dark manarak though...I mean it would have a pretty limited usage. Sure mages would have great use for it, but 99% of the population would have no use for amplifying the power of magic they could not use to begin with.

Two types of crystals: Sun and Dark. Sun crystals give and enhance light and fire magic while dark crystals give and enhance gravity based magic

They can give those exposed to it magical powers to those that already don't, but it takes a great deal of mental strength to actually be able to use it

And it takes a long time of exposure to get any form of magical power (animals being more sensitive and easily mutated to the crystals' power)

Yeah, sure. It doesn't sound like it'd make much of an impact but at least it adds more depth to the story and therefore gives us more to work with. Who knows, maybe we can make a plot element out of it later.

I propose that with each usage a Sun/Dark crystal loses a portion of its charge, making it necessary for a person to have a supply of crystals on their person. Plus limited usage increases demand, making the crystals themselves more valuable. Maybe a user could become addicted to them just to make things a little more interesting.

With the crystals fresh off the beast's back not losing its charge at all, which makes them super valuable but too dangerous due to how powerful they are

ok, let's talk more about planet names now

now, irl, planets out in the universe are named after their stars, and with a secondary classification. like "Arcturus B" or something, so we should also keep names of stars in mind

But if we make new characters, we're gonna have a failed story on our hands. Well, just let wiggles be able to keep his characters though.

The original idea was that we remake our characters with different appearances and personalities. Essentially we'd be making new characters but they'd keep the same name as our old characters. They can be as similar as you want them to be to your old ones, but make them distinguishable from the originals.

now what about races? I mean do we keep animal-people, like Karii, or do we just have humans and aliens or whatever?

We can keep animal people. Just say they're the result of genetic engineering and whatnot.

okey dokey.

Now I think we should name the main world "Planet Buttfart"

I'm alright with it. Naming planets sounds like it'll be kind of tedious, so just call the planets what you want really.

I'm joking we're not naming a planet Planet Butt-fart

Terra Maximus.

that sounds more like the scientific name for an animal, not a planet.

I guess the main planet could be Urson Major, or something like that.

But I want my ship to be the Starborn

okay, as captain, here's the list of jobs in the spaceship that need filling

pilot(navigation, communications)
engineer(ship/engine maintenence)
medic(boo-boo fixer)
weapons specialist(in charge of security, defense, and the weapons cache)

spaceship: the Starborn


[I DID NOT MAKE THIS - DUH]

We need more races
