OOC: General PT Discussion (Previously: Rethinking P'Taria & Scrapping Terraneus)

I think I might have the Konarian name be Steelorigin, or something along those lines.

And then we'll have lots of fun trying to figure out what the other is saying. Hurray, language barriers.

Also, how did there end up having humans there? Crashed colonists from the same group of people that eventually formed the Rheans and the Sith?

And maybe there is still some wreckage left that is what inspired the Konarians to create an empire of steel? On another note, maybe the Blolrans were the native sentient inhabitants who originally hid from the humans, and the elves and dwarves are humans who had genetic modifications done to them before leaving?

Blolrans are essentially nagas, and saying that they were native to the planet works fine. There's also no reason that elves or dwarves can't simply be related to the Blolrans, diverging from a common ancestor when the Blolrans took to the seas.

That throws human/elven hybrids out, though. Nephilim, Vahnatai, and Slithzerikai are also native to Ermarian, then. I assume the same with the Troglodytes and Hill Giants and stuff like gremlins and goblins. Somewhere, they might be able to find rusted blaster rifles with no real idea of what they do. We're going with it, then?

I suppose that would work. And maybe something about the blaster rifles inspired the creation of magic from the inherent magical energy of P'Taria, or something? Would explain why some races are more magically inclined then others.

It wouldn't really rule that out. Unless Humans and Elves are reproductively isolated from each other. In which case it would.

I'm cool with whatever is decided though.

@Burn: It would since they evolved from distinctly different gene lines and they only look alike because of convergent evolution. It'd be the same reason Superman and Lois Lane can never have children.

@Sela: That and what people remember of the Force. It is simply manipulating the Force in a different way. There was one quote that said the ways of the Jedi and Sith are simply two cups in the massive river that is the Force.

I guess that works, too. And perhaps there are a few mystical artifacts that are really barely functional pieces of advanced technology lying around?

It's what I'm going with to explain how the Jedi and Green Lanterns can exist at the same time. And yeah, we could go with that.

Come to think of it, since I'm planning on integrating some Elder Scrolls stuff, namely the shouts, we should probably have an isolated island north of Konosis. This is mostly to explain certain abilities of Darth Valefar.

The Konarian homeland as well, possibly?

I'm thinking an offshoot of the Konarians because I'm definitely planning on there being the ruins of a Star Destroyer there.

ok im out of here because of the fantasy element , ....

Apologies, Zot, but Terraneus was somewhat needless for us. And are we still going to continue this, or...?

Yeah. Should I start a prequel thread on the meeting of the two Empires or do you want to?

You can, if you want.

How would you feel about an RP based on hunting down some artifact thieves?

I wouldn't mind.

Alright. I'll start thinking up things to get stolen and how.

Maybe the Konarians get involved when they try to steal some of the traditional heirlooms of the Konaras Dynasty?

That, too. I was thinking of them trying to escape from Ermarian jurisdiction but that works, too.

Actually, do you want to write it instead? I'm kind of busy with my own schoolwork.

I guess I could, it being Spring Break and all, but it would be awkward for me to do it since they are your thieves and I can't write them the way you have them in your head.
