It is time, my children.. the planets are in allignment.. the signs all point towards the same goal... All divinations and portents show the future clearly now..

It's time to breath life into death.. to bring forth the begining of the end of a begining... a beggining forgotten by time.. remembered by only a small handfull of individuals who never dared to speak it's name, less the gods themselve throw gigantic hissy fits.

Soon, my children, all will become clear.. Just a few more peices are needed before the puzzle fully begins to show itself.

Yessss.. Very soon.

<mutters off to scry the stars for further signs of impending answers>

Uhhhhhhhhh... Qucik someone tranqalize him!!

The stars, they reveal to me ancient warrior gods from a bygone era.. Several God's rose to power withing a small timeframe and all ascended at once.. Not wanting to share the universe with each other, the gods began to conflict with each other.

Most of the gods were destroyed, or fled to other worlds.. Two remained even untill the end.. One god The Abomination, the spawn of seven siblings.. burning with an energy from beyond time.. The other god, appearing as a spider made of glass with countless children.. helped save several of the other gods from the abomination by giving them it's children and shutteling them to new worlds...

The abomination and the Glass spider fought a terrific war.. one that lasted forever, and yet no time at all.. and like all wars, it eventually came to an end..

Which god won? No one knows.. Nor does anyone know what happened to the Angel of death that killed the universe itself..

Now, my children.. my peices to life's great puzzel.. Will you join me to gaze at the stars? What mysteries about gods forgotten will become clear if enough of us stop to watch events unfold? Will you throw caution to the wind and take part in the continuation of an epic bigger than any before or after?

The future is in your hands, my children..

you've done that to beautifly for one not to give in to curiousity. i will join you.

If your yanking my chain Blood, I'll be the first one to hurt you :bang:

But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, I'm in. :heh:

Are we talking about Evangalion?

No my child.. there is nothing in the stars about evangelion.

The stars refferance an rpg that ended before your time child.. so your excused. Had you known better, I would be forced to say some kind of snarky sarcastic responce..

Hell.. nothing's stopping me now.

SARCASM;D!

...you don't mean what I think you do, do you?

Sarcasm. I seem to get that alot these days. Oh well, i don't really have enough time for online role play.

This may be kinda weird for you guys to hear but if ya keep me posted as to when it all starts then I'M IN!!!

With the return of Z.. everyone important from the first rpg is back.. And we have new players as well..


soon my friends.. we'll be able to begin.

Yay how soon oh crazy one. Rammble.


Hopefuly i'll stay in this one longer then last time.

Gah make the clicking of keys stop.

Is it possible we may just have with Ghrecki an operative in real life to make him get his ass moving and work on stuff.........





...nope, that's probaly hoping for too much

Alright Blood, New rpg, eh? You can count me in! ^_^

"Back from the dead and loving it!"

(Oh and Kaiser, thank you for the kind words. Being sick was no fun.)

We'll see Army, last time you were in it you mysteriously vanished and well, yeah. So I'm not holding my breath this time :rolleyes:

Okay dokies.. no prophet mode for this post.. instead you get

a LIST OF DA' RULES!

1. Characters are zoanoids... official zoanoids.. Meaning no custom jobs.
2. No character will start out at hyper or above powerlevel. Meaning your limited to the following types
Power
Blaster
Scout
Aquatic
Flyer
3. To make things interesting.. I will allow two people of my choosing to ignore rule 2 and start out as a hyper zoanoid.. These will be squad commanders or something. Note. If you were given a super spot in Thunderball, you will NOT be considered for this.. gotta make sure I don't favor anyone with these bonuses.
4. NO GUYVERS. You'll see why below.
5. Upgrades are offlimits untill I say otherwise. I'm sure all the vetrans from the first rpg remember several instances where battles were stopped becuase everyone ran off to upgrade themselves, then complained when otherpeople were still stronger than them.. Okay.. I exagerate.. but still. I'll tell you when you can upgrade.. and I'll tell you WHAT you can upgrade as well

This rpg takes place in a world where the guyvers were never discovered. One might ask 'what is there to stop chronos instead?' Well, the answer is.. Nothing.
Chronos didn't NEED to be stopped.

You see.. it turns out that zoafication is a mirical cure. The genetic tampering not only gives you a battleform... but renders you immune to disease or illness. Aids, Cancer.. The common cold.. all a thing of the past.
Chronos didn't use force to take over the world, they used medicine and the economy.

Okay, they didn't take over the world.. per say... but yeah.

Chronos was given a few miles of land surrounding the Cloud Gate facility and is now recognised as a legal country.. It has it's own seat in the united nations.. which Fredrick von Purghstalh fills this seat as the ambassidor to the rest of the world.

90% of the world population are zoaforms.. Most underwent the proccess willingly in order to never experiance disease or illness again.

Knowing the distructive power of some zoanoids, and knowin that all other nations possess quite a few of them, there is very little global conflict... No one wants to fight a war with transforming monsters.. not even when your own army is made of transforming monsters.

Some countries has attempted to create thier own zoanoid types.. chronos ussually doesn't like when people do that.. and most of the people on the research teams tend to dissapeer.

Chronos never told humanity of the zoalords' abilities to telipathicly kill zoaforms.. and while the desolving body is unnessisary since chronos doesn't need to hide, the genetic command to desolve is still there.. it just has to be force triggered.



Now for the stuff chronos vetrans have been waiting for..

When the universe where the first chronos rpg took place collapsed, Orngus Ascendant and Bahamut were fighting.. And this fight ended mere seconds before the end of the universe.. with the winner's essance merging with the dead universe to create it anew.

Who won? Well.. I know.. but I'm not telling.. Suffince to say you'll find out in time.


As can be expected, the populace at large has no idea thier universe containes the essance of the victor of the great war that killed the last universe.. hell, they don't even know there WAS a last universe..

Some signs pop up here and there though.. moments in time where the laws of physics don't work as the numbers say they should.. sites and locations where people who sleep there can hear whispers in thier dreams.. whispers of the previous universe.. People just think these occourances are ghosts or bigfoot.. or maybe a ghost bigfoot... most of them.

however.. two sisters.. twins who on thier 18th birthday went to the biggest site where these whispers take place and spent the night.. They came away changed.. Before this event the two sisters were inseperable.. doing everything togeather.. Now, they dispise each other.. Both sisters went on.. not knowing why.. to create sepperate religious cults, and each declared thier sister and her followers the enamy and heritics.. Both cults have fought numerious times over securing locations where the previous universe whispers to this one.. Some of these battles have had death toles in the thousands..

Both sisters are also rumored to be Lost Numbers... not by processing.. but by spending more time than anyone else in these 'whisper points"

You guessed it.. one cult is dedicated to a glass spider.. the other is dedicated to the abomination of seven voices.

The world at large knows of the existance of these two cults.. but the governments of the countries where the battles are located never seem to be able to capture anyone involved in the battles.. Both sisters have developed zoalord level control over thier own cultists.. including the ability to teliport key members out of prison.. or to trigger the desolving process in thier fallen.
Both sisters are also immune to zoalord controll.. and infact the zoalords cannot use thier telepathy to find these sisters at all.. So even Chronos can't react fast enough to catch influencial cult members.

If you want to play a cult member, send me a pm and I'll explain it in more detail.. but I have the right to turn you down if I don't think you can handle it.

Begining post will be up no later than monday. I'm HOPING for tonight, but you guys know my track record.

EDIT:
I'm including links to a couple websites with images of various zoaforms incase people without a VDF want a look at some zoaforms they're not familiar with.
Heck I've GOT a vdf and I havn't seen some of these zoaforms before.
Look here or HERE
If anyone knows a website with lists of several zoanoid forms, don't hesitate to share the wealth.

This site has every zoanoid type that exists to date and all categorized so you know which are standard, hyper and all the other types.

Just click on VDF

http://www.bio-boost.co.uk/

Also if you go here http://www.theguyver.net/guyverboard/gallery/index.php and enter the manga then datafiles section you can see my progress on the translations of the datafiles (taken from the italian translations of the manga volumes).

Looking forward to it Blood. Hmm I think I know what I;m gonna be

Well this sounds interesting, lets see if bloodstomr gets it up by monday now

Fuck,,, I just realised that I can't call it "return of chronos" or "chronos rpg 2" or something stupid like that.. can't work on an opening post without a good title.. that's like going on an ocean voyage on an unchristened boat.. your just asking for trouble.

I need some sort of magical title of awesomeness like "Gathering: The Reckoning" or "Snakes: On a plane" or "Chronos: Legacy of Whispers"


Accually.. that last one works.. Okay.. Crisis averted.. FOR NOW.

EDIT: Okay. It's up! I met a deadline.

And yes.. the book of Kintaro mentioned in the post IS Kintaro's journal from the original rpg.. Don't ask how the hell it survived.. It just did. I decided it'ld be a holy artifact of the cult of the spider becuase it makes me chuckle thinking about it.

Apperantly they can't read it though.. Apperantly the english used in the first rpg and the english used in this new one aren't the same thing.. Don't ask. I don't know how it works either.

I think I might choose a golvarrun zoaform for this one. I know I saw a df for Golvarrun somewhere,but from the looks of it it wasn't on neoguyver. But yeah Golvurun was pretty cool he looks like a big turtle and I think it said he can spit liquid nitrogen or something in the DF, but I can't remember where his df is. Anyone know where it is?

I just googled Golvarrun... couldn't find anything about liquid nitrogen.. mostly it was just how he was created to fight the us Navy.. and he's got claws.. and he swims..

Then again.. about half of what I found was in japanese only.. and I can't read that.

I'm sure I saw a translated df of it somewhere, it was in the same place that there was a translated df for Nealcos whose the other aquatic zoanoid whose as strrong as 20 men, but nealcos is too goofy looking for me to use as a character, I just cant take his fish face seriously.

Edit:

Ahh, I found it, it's actually just the words translated the df wasn't actually scanslated, it was on the guyver.net message board. Anyway, yeah I'm convinced now, Golvarun has some pretty nice stats for a regular zoa, he's 18x strong and has armor comparable to a hyper. My computers still not up and running and the library computers wont let me copy and paste, I'll be putting a link up tommarow when I get on a better computer, but if you want to look for it its in the df thread in the science section on the guyver.net forums.

Here it is

http://www.theguyver.net/guyverboard/index.php?showtopic=47

clickie

Found this today.. has some information on some zoanoids I havn't seen discriptions of elsewhere..

Looks like it's stats to some sort of game.. Not sure about that though..

EDIT: Found another site. It's in italian though.
Click here Luckily, I have a translator right here

okay. sounds good to me. I'm in.

Something I forgot to mention earlier..

The cult that worships bahamut calls itself the harmonic cult.. since bahamut was 8 creatures blended into a single harmony of beings.. However, the spider cultist call the harmonic cult the "cult of the abomination" since the whisper points where orngus voice is talkihng about behamut call it an abomination...


The Cult of the abomination doesn't have any mean names for the spider cult though.. Atleast not yet.. I can't think of any good ones right now.

Okay.. I'm an idiot and didn't realise where Cloudgate is when I decided it'ld be the capital of the Chronos nation.. Since having cloudgate at the same place in the manga has it would mess up something I have planned later, I have decided that CloudGate is located at the location of the Arizona base from the manga... This should prevent some accidents.

For those of you who didn't know.. Cloudgate's manga location is inside the boundries of the united state's national capital.. so having two country capitals within such a small distance would just be silly.

Yeah..

Oh.. and Um.. No arc yet either.. It's constructed.. but it never launched... It's still hidden under.. wherever it's hidden.. Maybe I moved that too. Maybe I didn't. You'll find out later.

More info I just decided on.

The following Zoaforms do not exist (at this time, atleast) in the rpg for a variaty of reasons.

Neo-Zektole
Enzyme (any of the three)
Libertus
Brainchai brothers (the three hypers who fused into the fake gigantic)
Synivite (despite how nifty if is)

Somlom and Dyme are still alive.. Aptom is still in form one.. Biofreezer is still alive.. and Marikami never turned into Imakirum.
Guyot's still a pain in the ass though.. but some things never change.

The reasons for this is all of those zoanoids were created specificly to deal with guyvers.. were created by a guyver.. or some other reason directly involving the guyvers themselves..

and we all know there aren't any guyvers in this rpg yet..

For those of you who are fans of some of the zoanoids mentioned above, don't loose heart.. some of them will still show up once I figure out a way to explain thier presance without guyver's presance.

(p.s: I can triple post if I want to.. We don't technically have a rule against it.. and I wanted to make sure everyone saw this stuff)

Woops, actually I think I had a synevite show up in my new post, I'll have to use some other zoaform, but why doesn't Synevite exist? From what I understand he's a regyular zoanoid even though his abilities seem a bit above average.

from my understanding.. Synivite was created in the guyver Novel specificly to apprehend guyver1 and return the unit to chronos headquarters.

I'm not posative this is the case.. but since all my sources say that only one Synivite was ever processed, it leads me to beleave that it's probobly the case.

Which is a pity.. as Synivite is pretty cool.

EDIT: I was wrong about Cloud Gate.. Towers of heaven was the chronos location that was in Washington DC.. Cloud Gate was somewhere in japan.


Sooooo.. to fix things.. The towers of heaven are where Cloud Gate is at in the manga. WHo ha! Problem solved.

Ok I finished editing out Synevite, so its better now.

I figured out how upgrades are going to work.. But before I get half a bajjilion pm's telling me what you want to upgrade, UPGRADES ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET.
I'll be sure to mention when they are.. so hold your horses till then.

Anyway.. Basically to upgrade, You'll be reproccess somehow.. I'll worry about why later.. this post is just to handle the mechanical details.
When your reprocessed, you choose a hyper zoanoid (even if your allready a hyper zoanoid) and a couple traits of the hyper.. these will be added to your genetic code, allowing you to make use of those abilities.

for example.. lets take a Ramothith.. and.. oh.. a gaster.. You Would then have a ramothith with gaster missile pods and chemical dischargers.

Upgrading this way also increases your physical strength and durability to some extent too.. but I'm not sure on how much.. for example, choosing Darzerb would make you stronger than if you chose.. oh.. elegan... but not as strong as if you chose danaplus.


ALSO.. this is important. Each time we upgrade, I will only allow ONE person to use any specific hyper zoanoid. Otherwise pretty much everyone would take Gastell for it's stealth and mind-control powers. <_<. Not really something I want to deal with. If multple people want the same hyper, I will determine randomly who gets it.

Also.. for people who have multiple characters, you'll only be able to choose one character to upgrade at the same time as the people who only have one character. This is to prevent a single person from claiming three or four really cool hypers for themself before everyone else gets a choice.
After everyone has upgraded the first character, then the second characters will be allowed to choose.. then the third, and so on.
NOTE- All characters will receive these upgrades at the same time.. it's just people with multiple characters will have to take a couple extra rounds to choose the upgrades.

There will be atleast two upgrades using this system, possable three.. but after that, the story will have advanced to the point where re-proccesing isn't going to be efficiant anymore.. so I'll do something else then.

REMAINDER! Upgrades are not open yet. Do NOT pm me with the hyper zoanoid you want.

More on upgrades when it's accually time to upgrade.

How many traits would they pick up? For example if it's a zerbubuth would they just get the lasers or would they also get it's acid cannon?

the way I'm PROBOBLY going to do is divide things into sections.. like head, torso, arms, and legs.

You'ld theoreticly be allowed to choose two of those.. and you'ld gain the traits involved with that body parts..

Arms would also result in higher str boosts, Torso's would also raise your defensive abilities..

Not posative yet, but I think thats how I'm gonna do things.

Sounds like a good plan boss :beers:

I thought of one problem, I'm not sure we have datafiles for enough hyper types for all three upgrades, maybe the first two though.

Hypers excluded would be powered Zerbubuth, and thankrus because their already characters, also the branchai brothers and the enzyme series would be excluded. This still leaves alot of hyper types, but I don't think it would be enough for three upgrades.

I might not have made it clear.. I look back over my last posting and found it ambigious in a couple places...

But each hyper will be usable once per upgrade.. Also, hypers allready in existance doesn't mean they'll be unusable either.. that means someone could start out as .. oh.. Random zoanoid1. Then take Hyper one on upgrade one, and hyper two on upgrade two..
and random zoanoid two can take hyper two first upgrade and hyper one the second.. I just don't want everyone taking the same zoanoids at the same time.

Probobly going to just have two upgrades this style though.. Three would be streaching things..
