uh...
okay then. you do you, man.
anyway, on another note, i've been thinking about what's still coming.
we've gotta wrap up the Specter and the Soviet plot, then throw more people in Camelot, Goldenwalk, or Fenrir. maybe a few people can get to the Halo Universe a little early if need-be. Goldenwalk will be suffering the Cecil invasion, before everybody leaves for somewhere. i have no idea where, actually. i assumed either Camelot or Fenrir. then at Camelot, we've got Z's invasion, and some characters gonna die here or there, before escaping to either Fenrir or the Halo Universe. i don't know what's in store for the future of Fenrir Far East Branch, but something's gonna happen to throw the rest of the cast into the Halo Universe, where i have a pretty good idea of what's supposed to go down there.
And as for the Underground cast, well... their journey will be entirely unsuccessful and they will find nothing that can help them. fortunately, through the power of plot convenience, i can spawn in a convergence crystal and pop them somewhere else. probably gonna be... i actually don't really know. i need some ideas.
now, in the Halo Universe, there's still some more stuff i need to cover before people start arriving. things like Miranda joining forces with the Insurrection, and some other shenanigans. once the cast arrives, and everybody is finally united, the next goal is to find a Halo and activate it, as the Flood threat is way too large. this is where we can split up the cast a bit. three groups, i'd say, though this can be changed for convenience. they arrive on the Halo ring. one group encounters solely the Flood, one group encounters the Banished, and the third, led by Master Chief, find their way to High Charity to save Cortana. however, unbeknownst to the cast, High Charity is essentially the Keymind at this point, and Cortana is already infected with the Logic Plague. The Keymind allows Group 3 to take Cortana and arrive on Halo to support the rest of the cast. there, we will follow a similar storyline to that of the halos, meaning the search for the Silent Cartographer first, and then, the Control Room. the Library, of course, comes into play as the Index, which activates Halo from the Control Room, is located there. so after the group locates the Cartographer, we'll split again, one group headed for the control room, the other headed for the Library. Group 1 and 2. however, in Group 1, Cortana will sabotage the mission, take full control of Chief's MJOLNIR suit, and flee to support the Flood invasion.
as far as I'm aware, the only hyper advanced AI in the RP still is Church, so he's my counter for Cortana.
the Library cast will encounter the Banished, and there, we'll finally get to meet Atriox. it's up to all of us whether we kill him, or i allow him to side with the cast, effectively making the last pockets of the Banished allies, making the Flood the only enemies left. once retrieving the Index, while having to fight the Forerunner defenses, as Cortana is now in the Control Room, and has full control of Halo's defenses, especially with the Monitor of Installation 06 also being infected with the Logic Plague. then, as everybody prepares for an assault on the Control Room to take out Cortana, save Chief, and activate Halo, the Keymind arrives with legions of the Flood, including some of the more powerful forms like Abominations, Juggernauts, and many other Pure Forms, making Flood resistance far more lethal. upon Church defeating Cortana, the cast will then flee Halo as Sgt. Johnson will stay behind in the control room with Church to activate Halo. once the cast is far enough away, Johnson will activate Halo, killing himself, and anything else on Halo, as well as the rest of the galaxy, while the cast managed to get far enough away from the blast. this will end the Flood Arc, though i'd imagine we could go back to collect Church for either Chief or Carolina, depending on if Carolina is still alive at this point. Chief will be though. he's cool.
anyway, what comes after Halo, i don't know. i know we're supposed to be going up for the final battle against Zeliyis, and i can imagine more elements of the coming battle against him will be displayed during the Flood Arc, there might even be a few times we get Zeliyis' army intervening during this plot, which i'm cool with. i wanna be flexible with the coming Flood Arc, so everything i listed as happening up there isn't set in stone, it's just my general idea of what's coming next.
so then we fight Zeliyis, maybe some more people perish here or there, Bro will, if he hasn't already been killed earlier (though if he does survive this RP, that'd be cool, as i'm bringing in his little bro, Dave Strider, in the sequel). then, following the defeat of Zeliyis, we have the conclusion, where everybody gets in their finals posts with their characters, drawing conclusions to their stories for the time being, maybe some poeple might set up an epilogue for future arcs, much like i will with a very cliche scene with Spider-Gwen, won't spoil details on that right now, but i'm pretty sure this will be the end of the RP.
then we have the sequel. it's still a long ways off, but i've been wondering how we'll do this. my intention is to have Gwen work on bringing everybody back together due to the cliche epilogue at the end of this RP, so there's one plot line. but... after that, it's just Gaster, and that feels dull. so i've been wanting to ask you guys for your future support in the coming sequel for plot lines that can take place before the Gaster battle, much like in this RP, as it makes for more interesting stories, and opens up opportunities for many many characters to get chances to shine here and there. and as for the Gaster Extinction Event, i've been making changes to that as well. instead of three characters indefinitely surviving, i've changed it to two characters that have to die from Gaster, a timeline erasure to eliminate the characters (unless you only have two characters, lol. that wouldn't be fair), and if you want, any more of your cast can die, though that isn't required. the Extinction Event won't be until further in the sequel, anyway.
to conclude my rather winded post, i just wanted to ask you guys if;
1. What's planned for the rest of this RP.
2. Does the Flood Arc sound good enough?
3. Future Arcs for the sequel.
