[[ maybe we can make our own time system. Like BSB=before school breakout]]
*snorts milk out nose* LMAO! Yeah, I agree with Kaito though...

Taro's idea would work, but maybe it could be the founders of LIGHT worked together on different projects in 1940? And then, I like the rest of Taro's ideas. [['sometime in between that time and that place' ]] LMFAO *snorts soda out of nose laughing* >_>' ... ow.

Lmfao, Night, oh you. xDDD
Hm... It might work, I don't know why I'm so iffy about the year 1940 but whatever.

Well, if we use such a system, 1940 wouldn't really exist in the first place, right? Just saying because 1940 BSB would be like the year 90 A.D..... and that doesn't work, so I say drop the 1940's science boom thing.

You do have a very good point, Kaito. x3 Yeah, seems better that way it seems. xD;; *Gladly waves it goodbye as well*

Lol, Ani, you're probably iffy about 1940 because that was the year of conspiracy therioes. Everyone got really paranoid and they were scared of everyone else: if you weren't a conspiracy theorist, you were involved in a conspiracy in one way or another. 0_o And then all the hype died down, and started up again in the 1990s.

I like all of the ideas guys! But Momaru's Proposal, Take 2 (Edit by Taro): LIGHT was an organization founded in the 1940's to further extend human knowledge about genetic engineering. It started out with observations in life and natural evolution, and then took a leap when genetic crossing began. Plants were genetically combined to create something completely new and soon even small animals like fish and birds were being altered. The scientific community was thrilled and wanted to take things a step further to speed the evolution of humans themselves. Many other scientists and people disagreed with LIGHT and voted that the organization be shut down. Many scientists from the LIGHT organization were angered and withdrew into the shadows until they could come back again in the future with long brewing ideas to finally be tested.
Yeah what Taro said is what I meant. I think I was trying to get across came out to be just a bit too ambiguous in my wording.

Alright, my story is FINALLY done! ^^ I'm so happy nows.
Anyways, my history with Roth is in a previous post, but I am revising it to make it better, and explain how Kaito turns good. (THAT TOOK FOREVER TO COME UP WITH!!!)
let's recap, for those of you who don't know... Roth becomes a pretty power scientist, and proposes a new method for controlling Eons with Eclipse, but the LIGHT higher ups don't approve. Roth gets angry and works in secret, not sure how he gets funding/workforce at this point. He eventually succeeds with yours truly, and LIGHT realizes that he had figured it out. So they seize the project, and try to make it look like they were behind it all along, so they can take credit, and take his research to use elsewhere.
Roth isn't too happy about that and refuses to cough up the info. So LIGHT decides to try to use force, but he gets winds and turns tail. Then LIGHT decides to use Kaito for their own purposes. *DUN DUN DUN* They start using him to track renegade experiments, and he eventually is sent to the school, where it is rumored some older experiments are hiding. He blends in, searching for his target when the famous "Break out during the power outage" begins.
LIGHT commands him to track the Eons fleeing the school, but Roth takes over the signal and tells him to stay put and simply watch, (a move just to piss off LIGHT)
Controll eventually gets passes back over to LIGHT (which Roth is no longer a part of) and Kaito is sent after 'yall. (Watch out foos! XD) Roth's hideout is found in the meantime, and also his way of controlling Kaito (LIGHT doesn't have complete controll, they don't have the working version of the controll tower... thing. ((or whatever they use)), but they built one from earlier blueprints) Roth's last action is to set Kaito free from eclipse's controll.
Roth: "If I can't have him, neither can you! take that!"
So Roth is executed, and Kaito looses most his memory, a toll from having his eclipse messed with. He runs into someone from the group, and a memory is triggered. He confronts them, demands answers, and decides to join them.
OMG, that was easy....
there you have it,.

Oh shi- Why the hell was I gone from the boards for so long!? A lot of things happened that I really really need to be in on. Ak! Ok so I read everything here and I got to say, I think we're making huge progress with all this. And I have plenty to comment on.
First off, a huge pile of kudos must be showered upon Eirra for starting this must-needed thread. I also need to update the Eon character list to reflect some things, like Beth and Momaru's new scientist character. So I'll go do that now... Ok done! I also added sub listings. Please let me know if any info on there needs to be added/updated because it hasn't been fixed in quite awhile and I know that I don't have everything yet. Eon Character List
Ok now for the most pressing issue at hand, Eon Timeline! I really really wish I had come on the Eon boards more often to be a part of this but anyways I shall contribute. We have somewhat agreed that LIGHT needs to have existed for 20+ years. First off here are the proposed timelines of when LIGHT was started:
-1940's -1980's (to make present time 2000-2010 (real life present)) -20th Century (to make present time 2020-2030) -Our own timeline system -No time at all
I had the idea originally that our modified earth would be an altered timeline where technology was advanced earlier than in real life and the time of the RPG took place in a time equal to real life (2007). This does not necessarily mean that the actual year is called '2007' in our rpg, I was thinking that we'd make our own time system and call it something different. So when Bryce was saying the time of the rpg would be in the 1940's, this could work just as well as saying it's in the year 2007, because it really does not matter what we call it just as long as the time period between when LIGHT was started and when the RPG takes place is a 20 yearish gap. And also as I said, I was thinking about time when I made the original timeline and that it was a more advanced earth than it is today. So our real life 2007 could potentially be equivalent to the Eon's 1940 technology-wise. But again, this all does not matter if we just create our own time system.
And going off the idea of BSB (lol) I think that it will work. It's the best and will be the absolute EASIEST solution we can come up with and I was thinking about this idea before I read any of this. Though I will suggest that we do not base our time system on the breakout but instead base it on when LIGHT was founded/Eons came into existence. That makes much more sense to me. So like maybe... BE/AE or BL/AL or something better that I can't come up with right now XD
Oh, and to clear something up for everyone's benefit. The government was first responsible for all genetic experimentations and research. We probably should give this government organization a name too so we don't get confused. It is during this time that breakthroughs in genetics and the human DNA sequence was completed and fun things like that. When this news was made public, the government had to shut the genetic testing projects and the organization to prevent further research. Basically the government wanted to appeal to the people and look good. Yey. So then the scientists are all angry and rawr! So several of them ban together and create the LIGHT organization.
First this government thing was founded. It was shut down and afterwards, LIGHT was created. Got it? And since both the organizations are pretty much the same thing and made up of the same people, this is where some confusion was as to when LIGHT really started. Technically the actual LIGHT organization was founded after the government one. For example, with the 1940's idea: you can not say that LIGHT was started in 1940 but you can say that the government organization was founded in 1940, though both organizations are still the same thing yet also very different. They should have different names to be able to decipher between the two also is another good reason. And going off that idea still, you can say that LIGHT was started around the 2000's which would be shortly after the government project died. So an example timeline now:
1940's: Government sets up genetic testing organization 2000: Government shuts down genetic testing organization 2005: LIGHT is created 2030: RPG takes place, Current day
And here's another one with our other time system (BL/AL):
60BL: Government sets up genetic testing organization 5BL: Government shuts down genetic testing organization 0: LIGHT is created 30AL: RPG takes place, Current day
And of course this is just a very simple timeline and example dates. These aren't necessarily the correct dates either... just kinda using some things we had going. We can always adjust these dates too.
Also one more idea I had going: What if there is a universal timescale thingy (much like real life time so 1940, 2000, etc) that the world uses. But to the Eons, we all set up our own timeline based on BL/BL (60BL, 5BL, etc) because it has more relevance to us. Just a thought. Anways, I've been working all day on this post and it's time to post it. Let me know what you think. I think that's all I have to say about this for now but I'm probably forgetting something... oh wells.

Now that makes more sense! It doesn't matter to me which way we'll use the timeline, either way's fine with me

I'm personally all for the made up time line system, and I think the creation of LIGHT is a very good event to base this time off of, it marks the beginning of a new age for mankind. LIGHT is really all many Eons think about day and night, so it makes sense to me.

Ok, I still need to read the entirety of 'Sami's post, but what I'm thinking for the timeline: let's narrow the begginings of LIGHT down to at least a decade, and then instead of- MP joined LIGHT in 1996, we'll have, FIRST MP met Louvre, THEN Louvre joined LIGHT, then the Eon's revolted ,etc. I can do that timeline, but I'll need to talk to everyone. My IM is down [again] so if it isn't working within a couple of days, I'm going to probably start emailing people.
See, Tusami, no offense intended, but maybe our own time system wouldn't help that much? Maybe it might make things a bit more complicated? Idk, just a thought. Anyways, though, I like your idea of our own timeline, and I can at least do the Eon scientist's one, and then pass it along so people can add in their characters to it?
As for decade, I like the 1980's time, only prob is, that's a bit clique. There was a hellevu lot a paranoia going on at that time, where people were terrified that the American government was conspiring against them. The paranoia started in the 1940's-1950's, died down in the 1960's-1980's, started again in 1980's to 1990's, and largely died down again in the late 1990s, to early 2000, until 9/11 happened, and then it sparked up again. This, of course, is excluding the cults and alternative religions that held such beliefs in all respective time periods.
Anywho, any other thoughts? And thx for teh post. 'Sami!
