Hey guys! Just about to post the prologue to my spy story, just one little problem. I have no idea how the site works? :/

First, you'll want to use the information I PM'd you a few weeks ago to log in; I can send it again if you want. Now, if you're not on the 'Dashboard', then click on that on the very top left. Then, at the top of the page, there should be a tab that says 'Post New.' Click on that, and you'll be taken to a page where you can post your work. There should be a tab somewhere there that says 'Rich Text'. Click on that, and then you can just paste your work.smile (Just be sure to double-check it; Chapter 19 had a doozy of a copy-paste issue; more then half of the Chapter got italicized when it originally wasn't.tongue

[up]Just an update for the Golden Age; nothing too major, except that Season 1 isn't going to be as long as I thought it would be; it might be the shortest of all the seasons. At this point, there's going to be more character introduction&development on the heroe's side and occasional advances on the villain's side, until the heroes finally get out of the homefront and into the Pacific Theater. There, without giving too much away, our heroes fight the Tsunami Squad, which consists of all but a certain one of the clones seen in Zola's lab, as well as two DC characters; Tsunami and Sumo the Samurai. In this 'verse, those two will be ordinary Japanese humans (with Tsunami being Japanese-American) who were modified by the Dragon King/Savage into superbeings, albeit of their own free will. They're the leaders of the squad, with Dragon's reasoning being that, by virtue of having full free will, they're able to make better judgements and more ingenious decisions, and thus be better leaders. At the same time, he's also pretty sure that they'll stay loyal to him, for various reasons. However, it's harder for Savage to 'graft' superpowers onto already-existing human beings then to just create Superhumans from scratch, which is why he had Zola create the Tsunami Squad.

This is going to be a big battle, with both the Tsunami Squad and the Dragon King himself getting involved; it'll eventually stretch over to Paradise Island, which will finally get Hippolyta involved in the series. The arc's also going to touch on the Japanese-American interment camps, and introduce Golden Girl as well. After that, we get some closing scenes, with the last being the Dragon King rising from some burning wreckage after having seemingly died; he takes off his mask, and we get the big reveal of his true identity. That will then lead right into Season 2, which will move the group to the European Front, where the majority of the series will take place, and where a number of other heroes will be first introduced. (This also means that Sam, as originally planned, might not appear until Season 2. We'll see; it's gonna' depend what I decide to do when I actually write the arc. I might also be able to fit the GL Corps plotline somewhere in there.) So that's that then.smile

Sounds sweet, Kho! can't wait to read it! My story should be up in an hour/ hour and a half. Just doing some last minute editing before I type it up. Yes, I still draft with pen and paper, spot the old fogie :P Just going to put it out there that the prologue is going to be pretty heavy on the prose, but it will revert to a script format afterwards. Also, having troubles actually coming up with a name for the series :/

My first instinct was, of course, to call it "Cloaks and Daggers", but its kinda generic and doesn't really have that oomph I'm looking for. I am considering "Our Forefathers", as a reference to both the Gettysburg Address and to the 12 American P.O.W's that drive the mystery and intrigue of the story. Thoughts?

[up][up]There's 12 P.O.W's, right? Then why don't you just call it 'The Twelve'? (Not to be confused with Marvel's maxiseries, of course, but I think with that in mind, it just makes the name more clever.wink)

So I just remembered that Vandal Savage had a daughter. Which has led to a better idea. Vandal Savage has been alive for a loooooooooooooooooong time; it'd make sense that he'd have countless sexual conquests, especially in his Caveman years. So then, what if his inevitable gaggles of children had some of his power? Not true immortality, but still a very long lifespan, and some healing power. And these children can have children of their own, but in each subsequent generation, the amount of immortality gets further and further diluted, to the point where the closest thing to a power that multi-generational descendents of Vandal Savage have nowadays is above-average strength, agility, endurance, etc, but nothing too noteworthy. At the most, they'll win first prize in Olympic Competitions.

Now, in this verse, by the time WWII hits, Savage is fully aware of the concept of breeding, and no longer does it 'just cause.' In fact, he rarely 'does it' at all, because he doesn't want any potential rivals from his own bloodline later down the line; by now, any such beings from Savage's early, less experienced days have long died out, and their descendants are no longer a threat, though not even Savage can tell just who&where all of them are. However, he does like the idea of having a small family; family that is completely loyal to him, and will obey him no matter what, though he still raises them to take just enough of their own initiative, and by WWII, keeps 1 son and 1 daughter by his side, both of which are at least 1000 years old. Additionally, the near-immortality only kicks in at a certain time in a 2nd-generation-member's lifespan, which is different for everyone; Savage's son's near-immortality kicked in when he was 34, while his daughter's near-immortality started when she was 12. Now, his son is physically 44, while his daughter is physically 22; at this rate, they seem to age about 10 years every 1000 or so years, so they'll be around for a while longer yet. He kept both of his offspring by his side for around 50 years; after that, he let them go off on their own to gain valuable world experience, but he managed to ensure they remain loyal to him regardless, and they hook up every now&again. (Not in that way...) Now, in the early days of WWII, they've reunited once again, or at the least are about to; the offspring might not appear until Season 2, though we'll see.

Khoho. You just found the origin story for the Immortals in Highlander. And it is a brilliant one! :|

[up]Thanks. This one was actually something similar to an original story I intend to write one day that I've had in my head for years; if you want to know more about that, feel free to PM me.smile

I'm also thinking of giving Savage a wife, the idea being that everyone Savage has sex with is given the same abilities as his second-generation offspring. Like them, most of Savage's past conquest have long died out, but the same woman who gave birth to his children is still around, and still loyal to Savage. The twist here is that this isn't just someone Savage is using like a pawn; she was at first, but as the centuries grew, he came to truly love her in body and soul, and now, she is treated as an equal. I'm still trying to think up a backstory for her though; she would have to have been born at least 1000 years ago, if not more. I have some ideas, but nothing concrete just yet...

Are you planning on using Magno at all? He was supposed to have died alongside the freedom fighters fighting the japanese, but since we're not really sticking to the original history and all...

[up]The other Freedom Fighters, you mean? If so, the plan was to have most of them stay behind on Earth X, and end the ever-spreading Naxi regime. (Which they do, but not for decades; Uncle Sam's influence keeps everyone young though.)

I'm still here, working on my Superman/Fantastic Four origin whenever I get a chance. So far I'm 11 pages in and I've worked in the FF's fateful flight, the destruction of Krypton, Clark's childhood, the FF's family dynamics, Superman's admiration of Captain America, Xavier, and Callisto, the Daily Planet staff, Perry White's friendly rivalry with J Jonah Jameson, and Clark's relationship with Lois. Also, Toyman has just appeared. Kryptonite will also be in it when it's finished, and I also intend to introduce Doctor Doom and Lex Luthor.

[up]Because there's more than one continuity out there where either Pa Kent or both Kents are dead. Honestly, Post Crisis-Nu52 (when they were both alive,) seems to be the exception rather than the rule.tongue

Nothing made me think you'd have them dead, but nothing made me think they'd still be alive either, It was just in case. Becuase I may want to do something from their point of view in the future, and I'd rather have it happen in whatever may be the "present".
