So, I've been thinking.... (yes I do that sometimes) that LIGHT needs a little more development. Like, we need to make some decisions on who they are, how they got started; stuff like that.
All the things I can think of are as fallows:
1. Where are the labs? 2. What are the origins? 3. What is their logo? 4. What is their social 'hierarchy'? 5. Who are their competitors? 6. *your idea here*
So, post up a suggestion, make a poll, design a logo, whatever.
LET'S FINISH MAKING STORYNESS SO WE CAN RP!!!11!

Well then, yes this is good. We definitely need to do this for the LIGHT.
So first off I'll fill in everything that I know. LIGHT's labs are many and they are kept secret. They're found all over the US. There are many different types of facilities, mostly each one is dedicated to one particualr field of study, research, and experimentation. Obviously we have several that were constructed later to be disguised as schools, many are disguised as different kinds of buildings while some are hidden underground. Top notch security and the utmost secrecy are what the LIGHT gives much importance to.
As of origin, well obviously this started when the government was forced to discontinue the research of human DNA mainly because of religious controversy. This angered scientists and a group of them met to secretly form the LIGHT organization. I suppose we'll need to find out who these founding fathers will be and if they play any importance later on. Keep in mind too that this is before Eons existed so none of our current characters will work, we'll have to develop new ones.
The logo Ani created and I likes it muchly. Here's a quick something I whipped up of it.
![](http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t136/eon_rpg/LIGHTLogo.jpg) I vote yey!
Social hierarchy... yes. We definitely need to establish rank. Well I'll suggest that there's either one main person or a group of people who run the entire LIGHT corp (the main founders?). They are not only expert scientists themselves but also great businessmen with good connections apparently. Then we have one or two head scientists of each department (transfusion, modification, molecular studies, etc. We need to come up with a list of them all and their functions.) Under them we have like project lead scientists, maybe about 3 of them in each department that act like the bosses. Then we have the normal scientists, the ones who do most of the dirty work. There are tons of these guys. Perhaps there can be interns and such too. Then of course we have security and janitorial staff. Anything else you guys can think of?
Competitors, well we know of one so far, project destiny which is centralized in Europe. This is where we get Eirra and Darius from. The lead scientist over there is Louvre. Should we have more? One seems fine to me.
Ok yeah, I think I answered most of the base questions. I'll stop there for now. I can't overload my brain too much right now. But yey! *throws in two cents*

I made up a random sketch for the logo today, but I like Ani's better. I don't think we should have as many scientists as we do guards personally, or they'll just end up as fodder. *gets an idea for teh story* As for more competitors, I agree with Tusami. One is fine, especially because other counties/continents may not have a)The funding b)The technology and c)A motive.
Alright, I think we should like, establish some time periods next, ya know? When the scientists did this, and when they created such and such Eon.... just to be more specific on dates and all
EDIT: I did notice how in Ani's logo that there is a crescent moon, like Eirra's necklace. Perhaps LIGHT and Destiny are secretly linked? :/ just some random thoughts.

We could also add in an orgin, like they wanted us to be weapons because the world is on the brink of a political war, or something. So America wanted to get the upper hand. Time periods: Probably in the future, a bit. Hm... 2020? Or the program started in 2020, and the current year is now more like 2035.
Oohh... the moon. Yeah, I think maybe I could twist Louvre's storyline so that he used to be part of LIGHT. But he had some controversies (they didn't agree) so he started Destiny, but still coresponds with LIGHT? Idk.... how does that sound?

Sure, we could do that. Well, you're the one who came up with destiny, so I guess it's up to you. Maybe Dr. [insert correct name here] was exiled so person created destiny to combat LIGHT and add another twist? I dunno. It's up to you.

Alright, felt like I had to input here as well since it sort of concerns the social hierarchy of the organization; see, I want Typhos to have a pretty major role in the efforts of LIGHT trying to control the Eons since he's trying to build an army with them. Now this doesnt mean he's automatically the head boss of the organization or anything since Momaru reminded me that that might seem a bit one-sided. In fact, now that I think about him some more, Typhos is the sort of villian who seeks a position of power that gives him the maximum ability to fulfil his plans while still remaining as far under-the-radar as possible to anyone who might try and stop him.
Maybe LIGHT could have different departments assigned to various objectives the organization is trying to accomplish while still answering to a powerful central authority. There could be departments devoted to training subservient Eons for military use, for overseeing the front organizations-like the boarding school-LIGHT uses to capture more subjects, one for creating new technologies to serve the company like the virus, the works. Under this system, Typhos-in disguise, naturally-could hold strong jurisdiction in the department that originally created the virus but still need to answer to an even bigger "boss". This also sort of ties into Kama's suggestion to me that Typhos and Hollow probably come from the same dimension. See, she suggested that there was a big boss there that Typhos and Hollow served (she agreed though that Typhos might be a higher-ranking servant than Hollow). Maybe it was on this boss's orders that Typhos inserted himself into the efforts of LIGHT to try and bring Hollow to the human world; he might have an easier time of getting around the boundaries since he's a stronger monster than Hollow. Of course while he's pretending to serve this big demon thing Typhos is still plotting about raising a private army and ravaging the worlds himself. Oooooooo, the intrigue.
But yeah, thats my two-cents about that. All I can really offer for now.

Have any of you seen Evangelion? probably not. So, anyways, theres this evil organization in that show that secretly manipulates and controls the world called Seele. Wiki them for more information. They are a real mysterious bunch that talk in riddles like "Yes, this part of the project is going according to plan" so you never know just what exactly they are up to until they spring their trap at the very end of the show. Also, nobody actually gets to meet with them. They conduct their meetings with people through holoconferences. Usually they go further and appear as gigantic black obiliscs ala 2001 A Space Odissy with glowing read words like "01 Sound Only" on them. I was thinking of doing something similar for LIGHT's leaders in that they are very mysterious ( and communicate in a similar way to Seele) and you only get to hear bits and pieces of their plans until they actually are done. Then everything that they had happened previously makes complete sense.

That's a good idea Momaru. I've never seen the show but I get the gist of what you're suggesting. It makes them a bit more sinister in that you only understand what's going on once their plans have already succeded

Ah... I need to partipate more in this thread since Ryan is one of the LIGHT scientist. lD
But first, I feel honored that you guys liked my logo for the LIGHT. I thought it should be something simple but you'd still know it belonged to the LIGHT. For the cresent moon, I didn't intend that to be tied in with Eirra's plot, in fact, I didn't know Eirra had her own thing going on. xD; Goes to show how much I know, huh? xD At first I thought the cresent moon would represent the eclipse, but eh, do whatever you guys want. I don't honestly care. xD I'm just glad for the fact that you guys liked the logo design. <3
Actually, that's what I thought the LIGHT was organizated too, and actually... this would be perfect! Not only there would be specific order of who should be placed where, it'll help me figure out exactly where Ryan should be. xD See, I saw him as a high-ranking scientist, but wasn't so sure where. Perhaps he'd fit better as a Project Lead scientist as he DID partipate as a head scientist in the Ti SWI 01 experiment [Chase's experiment] and Kama/Hallow experiment. Yeah, LIGHT is an extremely complex organization but it HAS been developed over years. Let's just try not to make this waaaay too complicated that it gets too confusing for everybody. ^_^' We need like a Social Heirarchy tree or something, break everything down that makes it easier to understand.
Although, I sort of but not really like Shyria's input. Not only would it fit her badass villian in with the LIGHT, but gives another reason to pull Hallow into real world. However, I still like Tusami's idea of making Kama's Hallow a split personality thing because it seem more logical... to me anyway. But that's up to Kama of course. This could work out, but I think I'm still confused? I dunno, I'm not thinking right now. xDD
Sorry to disappoint you Bryce but no, I haven't seen Evangelion but that does sound very sinister and interesting way to 'reveal' their plot throughout the whole thing.

ok...so I'm a fast reader and I kinda skimmed through this...lD So far we havn't defined what LIGHT stood for, right?? owo; Anyways, oh I think I have a suggestion. I think for everyone in our group who has a LIGHT scientist charrie, then we should like create a rank list! MP (Master Pursuit) is actually a much higher ranking scientist since he's been working for over 5 years...or more...<_>; God he's old. DX Anyways, Louver (hope I spelled that right), would make an EXCELLENT lead scientist! ^_^ And also MP is almost to being on of Louver's top ranked scientists... x: MP, your magic is such good use for LIGHT. xD

Um.... yeah, that would work: the only thing is that Louvre is only part of LIGHT in the beggining. Then he defects because they disagree about Eirra. However, when Eirra joins the school, Louvre could rejoin LIGHT. Thx Kama-Kama! But then would Louvre know MP before LIGHT begins, or after he's joined, or after he's left, or when he comes back?
Um... whose that other Scientist: Ryan. Ani, do you have a profile on him that I could read? I was thinking, idk, Louvre might know Ryan before LIGHT begins? I'll try and IM you next time your online to see what we can work out.

No, no, Kama, we already figured out what LIGHT stands for. xD We're just discussing more in details of what to do with the whole organization; such as you say, ranks. We're thinking of starting to put together a social heirarchy tree and figure out who goes where.
Lmfao, if Master Pursuit's been in the LIGHT for five years then you can bet that Ryan's been there too for that long, most likely even longer BUT we NEED to establish a freaking timeline already. I don't think we know exactly how long LIGHT's been around so yeah, an answer for that would be nice. xD
Ah, well, Eirra, Ryan... his profile is in a desperate need of construction. xD;;; See, I can't figure out on what exactly to do with his history because we're still trying to figure out what to do with LIGHT. We don't even know how long they've been around. <_>; So I'm at a bit of a delay. BUT. This is a perfect chance though! Because I can do whatever I want with him at the moment. xD;;;
So, you want Louvre to know Ryan? Sure, why not! This would be interesting. ;D I'd like to discuss about this in detail too so maybe whenever we're both on IM next time. 8> [/size] [/color]

You guys already defined LIGHT? ; well then...I'll be eager to see what it is.
