"The Imperium of Man comes to Gensokyo" Discussion thread.

Getting them to co-ordinate their attacks through Glad I Thought of It?

The sum total of mine (that I remember):

The Brotherhood of the Striking Cobra: The first mission, the team is called together by one Inquisitor Avial Hevold and are tasked with exterminating the last remnants of the Brotherhood Of The Striking Cobra, a dangerous cult on the planet Proserpina. The cult is led by one Ciaro Malvarez (who acts suspiciously like Cobra Commander, by popular demand).

The Heart Of Steel: The Adeptus Mechanicus spaceship Heart Of Steel IX has suffered total engine failure. All who attempt to investigate are met by a cryptic, inhuman voice, endlessly repeating the words "This is the voice of...". All who attempt to board have disappeared. Further investigation shows that the Heart Of Steel may have been part of a grander scheme to subvert an entire solar system...

The Smugglers: A catastrophic accident involving a crate of bootlegged spellcards leads the Inquisitorial squad to a dangerous Hive World and into the criminal empire of one Ashkander Sang, who is determined to safeguard his business interests...

Clavora in Chaos: The planet of Clavora is thrown into turmoil by the arrival of Ambassador Lady Fan Zenko, a mysterious killer known only as 'The Surgeon', and a conspiracy that runs to the very heart of Clavora. Worse, Darius Bickerstaff has come to Clavora, hoping to fracture the alliance between Gensokyo and the Imperium. However, they will discover that on Clavora is the key to a secret lost since the Gensokyoan War...

There's at least one other, but it escapes me at the moment.

"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Silent Morbius: The titular planet is a barren dust ball, populated only by a few hundred miners and a few dozen Ordo Xenos personnel under Inquisitor Queeg. Suddenly, everything goes silent throughout the entire system. The last message out from the planet was a despondent "Morbius, planet of nothing". The task is find out what went wrong, and if there are survivors.

I intend to play that with absolutely no typical threats.

Now that the day we begin is looming on the horizon, how about we start trying to figure out exactly how we want to kick this thing off? Where do we start?

When in deadly danger, When beset by doubt, Run in little circles, Wave your arms and shout.

-snrk- Inquisitor Queeg...

The Danse Macabre Codex

Almost as funny as Qwib-Qwib... -Snerk-

When in deadly danger, When beset by doubt, Run in little circles, Wave your arms and shout.

As for how we would start, I do have the opening post for the sequel—the one I made months ago and showed you guys. Be that as it may, it is only a summation of the most important events of this thread; more will be required, no matter what we do.

The Danse Macabre Codex

Oh, I was rather thinking, what kind of situation do we want to start with, you know, in which our characters can begin to act?

I know, I realize what you meant.

Hmm... this means I'll probably need to make the opening post; what had we decided for the title, again?

The Danse Macabre Codex

Ah, I had an idea about the Governor of Gensokyo, BTW. Byakuren was re-elected the Governor several times, but after almost a century, she felt she was neglecting her duties as a Priestess and did not run for the position for a while. However, none of her successors ever managed to manage things (such as the balance between Youkai/Humans, Imperials/Gensokyoians, infrastructure/hunting grounds) properly, and none of them lasted for more than a couple of years, five at best. So, in the end, Byakuren answered their pleas and was re-elected. She will just have re-entered office when the sequel rolls around, I was planning. Any objections?

Also, I think she needs a new secretary and an Imperial Advisor. I can always handle the secretary, but I'd like someone else to do the Advisor.

Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!

No objections whatsoever.

The Danse Macabre Codex

None from me.

Eliminate the opposition and triumph by any means necessary; Fighting fair is only for those who can afford to lose.

Me neither.

Who should play the advisor?

Don't look at me.

Treacherous or non?

Also, will Chen still be around?

most likely. She may have aged to maybe teenager like body. Why?

Security.

So just looking for people to clarify on a few things

• What changes have occurred in Voile, particularly with Patchouli.
• What will the relationship between Marisa, Alice, Mary, and Patchy be like?
• How many Tsukumogami's are going to be used, and what will they be?
• Which characters are physically aging, and how much?
• What has Cirno and the fairies been up to?
• What is happening in Eientei and on the Moon?
• Are Marisa/Alice and the Hakurei family the only one's having children, or are there more?

Don't have to answer all at once, just trying to make sure we don't forget about some of the specifics of the timeline.

Oh, and on a more personal note, would you like me to write a few stories of Child Rumia's Culinary Tours and get you guys to summarize them for reports, or would you rather I just write up a terse little Activity List?

As far as I know, the only Tsukumogami that are going to be given major roles are Leona and Tetsuko.

I knolw that on the Moon there's some kind of political unrest between the nobles, the Tau and the rabbits, but it been made abundantly clear that it hasn't devolved into open war and terrorism.

@Plots:

I've got a grand total of none. I'm not really inventive enough to come up with something like that unless inspiration strikes me. I remember that I did come up with something that's just a confusing mess now that I try to remember it...

@Intro:

I always assumed that it would involve the group meeting up on Gensokyo.

@Last minute preparations:

I think that we should handle this one more like a proper RP: we should have a sign up sheet from the get-go, and we could use this thread for discussion.

@Child Rumia's OM NOM NOM NOM NOM stories:

Well, I say go for it, if you've got the talent.

@New Imperial Advisor:

I would do it, except I can't really think of a new Imperial character.

Which reminds me.

Just what in blazes is Graille doing by the time the sequel comes round?

Locking you up on radar since '09

Moving up the ranks, one presumes. I think once you're senior enough you're not expected to go in combat, but go in a kind of Internal Affairs role (this is extrapolated from two or three sentences from Ciaphas Cain, so...)

I'm being doubted -.-
