Danu stiffens up a bit when she finally gets its attention and he starts calling her out as a Seraph. That was supposed to have stayed unknown to her new friends, because being so far removed from her own domain left her abilities severely restricted and she couldn't risk having people expecting her to save them with divine powers that she currently could not use. "I have no relation to anyone you might have been expecting, but I have encountered similar beings before that form from the regrets and wrongdoings of powerful beings interacting with various other forces. Perhaps there was some sort of mistake, one that could be undone?"

All you need to really know is that wildlife is violent, large, and very sparse up to this point. Plantlife is undescribed, it's there, but nothing special about it so far. Woodport, where you currently are, resides directly below Eden prime, the orbital station, and has a small forest north of town, small as in walking distance to go out the other end onto plains, and all other directions I believe were simple plainsland or spreading dunes. Anybody can correct me if I am wrong.] //The story of The Nexus. Technology was amazing. Amazing right up until it had become mundane, and then destructive. Over the years the inhabitants of Nexus had developed a technique to visit and establish commerce with other worlds, other forms of existance, and even alternative timelines. All of this led to the planet becoming highly developed, a prosperous trade hub with almost everything anyone could ever want and people coming from everywhere you could think of to visit or to trade. But it was not to last. A catastrophic failure caused portals to detonate one after another, badly damaging the planet and poisoning its environment. The surviving population was moved to the orbiting station EDEN, which was expanded to accomidate them until it became just short of a ringworld in its own right. From there, living far above their ruined homeworld, the portals were opened once again and the survivors sought for an answer. They found it. Among the civilizations they traded with were those posessing advanced terraforming technology. This technology was deployed on a planetary scale to rejuvenate the planet Nexus, restoring it to a pristine frontier ready for colonization. To date the recolonization effort is still in progress, with only a handful of relatively isolated settlements on the surface that are growing rapidly as people move back down to the planet and expand infrastructure there. Most of the population remains on EDEN, living in urban comfort watching the planet beneath come to life once again. Our characters are primarially from the settlement of Woodport, so-named because a large forest bordered a plains making an excellent spot for a shuttle station. A railway link exists to one of their neighboring settlements- Goldfield, which has a much smaller shuttleport and less people living there. Your character can choose to live anywhere really, getting supplies from EDEN to live on the surface, or living on EDEN and performing work on the surface below. We're pretty open about what you want to do.

Although it appeared the conversation was nearly at an end when you'd entered anyways. "If you can wait for a bit I'll see if I can turn up anything, don't get your hopes up though, I only handle paperwork and civil complaints usually. Just, enough with the yelling." "Fine, fine... I'll wait." With a sigh the pallid avali moved past the newcomer and sat in one of the chairs allayed at the other side of the quaint room. Her eyes had settled on them for a moment, but she simply walked past, averting them until she was sitting, then stared boredly at his back because there was little else to stare at in the room. The glitch spoke up from behind the counter. "What could I help you with, sir or madam?" "Well, stranger things just keep on happening on this planet. Mabye it wasn't supposed to be..."

Was she being mislead? All her experience said that a fair judgement requires the perspectives of both sides." "That's quite the sculpture. But I think now is as good a time as any for some explaining, before we proceed any further. Claims have been made against several people here that probably should be situated before anyone makes regrettable decisions. Umbra, can you start with what this is, and why it hates you?"

So confusing..." Umbra holds up his head with one hand, looking a little anxious.

"Well, it seems to think you're responsible for the suffering of its whole race, so I can see why." He quickly raises his hands in a gesture of innocence "Not that I'm siding with the psycho statue thing. But I do think that we should seek all the answers before taking action." RE: Nexus RP: Rebirth - OdinYggd - 11-10-2016 "What else do we know about this thing. Does it even have a name? Or is it one of those that is just sort of there causing problems." Danu carefully steps closer to the giant eye, looking it over to see if it had any kind of hidden mechanisms or clues to reveal where they needed to go next. "I can't help but think it knows a lot more about us than we know about ourselves. Some of the things it said certainly have me wondering."

Did anyone else hear that voice? When the Remnant was staring us all down?" "What voice?" "It clearly wasn't from the Remnant. It was really faint, but... I think it said "help me." And it sounded... Wait. I remember that near the beginning of when this was all happening, I was told that..." "...Told what?" "...I know who part of the Remnant is. I don't know about the other half, but one will definitely help us if we can get through to him." Upon closer inspection, the slab appears to be a door. RE: Nexus RP: Rebirth - Helios - 11-11-2016 //hello ladies and gents. So what do we have here? RE: Nexus RP: Rebirth - OdinYggd - 11-12-2016 "I don't recall hearing such a voice before. Though the remnant might have just assumed I already know or something, people often do that for some reason." "Think we could get this open? There's probably more clues beyond it." Danu gives it a push to see if it might move for her. "Watch it turn out to be a pull-type door that has no handle to pull on, forcing people to open it magically."

"Are you sure you should be touching tha-" A thudding click sounds before it slowly opens like a sliding double door. "...Great." // so I'm assuming Danu doesn't remember anything from the old rp? RE: Nexus RP: Rebirth - Surge - 11-12-2016 "I uhhh... I suppose this would be a bad time to mention I don't have a weapon."

She's encountering this universe backwards, and is a few billion years and hundred universes younger in this timeframe than she was in the previous RP. The prior RP was the last universe Danu visited before finally being reunited with where she came from after a literal eternity of wandering, just in time to train a new generation of angels and then die of old age. //So even though she is considered immortal, it turns out she actually isn't. Just none of her species had lived long enough to find that actual endpoint. |
