STGOD History/Dramatis Personae

[Thirdfain]

I missed a lot, in particular in the characters section. If there's any events you want me to add, chronology you want me to change, or any characters (Characters who've gotten more than just a post or two of mention, please!) you'd like put in, then PM me with it. I don't know much about some empires, (Baeloreans, Gladsheim, Asgard, in particular) so please feel free to correct me.

This is far from complete, and I'll need your help to make it right.

-Added Asgard Empire to Dramatis Personae

[Alyrium Denryle]

Vrell Krishsa: Captain of Varathrax's Spikeball team. I plan on using him a lot.

You also may want to add in General Products and Zenith Defense Systems.

[Thirdfain]

The spikeball team captain hasn't yet done enough to warrant a place in the DP. I'm basing this on face-time, and he has had perhaps a half-dozen 2-3 sentence posts devoted to him so far, and has done nothing at all in-game.

PD is for national leaders, generals, assassins, politicians, rebel leaders, and diplomats. If the spikeball player attends some diplomatic functions and helps forge alliances, or pilots a few starfigheters in PvP battles, he'llm be put up.

Very well... just wait until he enlists...

[Thirdfain]

Fair enough, there is certainly a place in the DP for brave Buck Rogers-type heroes, pilots, and soldiers

[Rogue 9]

Fair enough, there is certainly a place in the DP for brave Buck Rogers-type heroes, pilots, and soldiers

Yeah, but when you try to do that type of person in STGOD without superpowers or outrageous custom power-armor, someone would undoubtedly take great pleasure in killing him before he got enough face time.

[Thirdfain]

Well, that's life, innit?

[Rogue 9]

Not exactly. More like, that's STGOD.

[speaker-to-trolls]

Is this in-game time, because if it is then , it's barely half way through the year and already more has happened than you normally get in a century!.

[Thirdfain]

It's in-game time, and this is not the most active STGOD ever.

[InnocentBystander]

The galaxy is a dynamic place. Besides, things have been pretty dull for the past century after the Genocide Wars, things are just heating up again.

[Thirdfain]

Hey! WTF does Speaker to trolls have "A Brief Life Burns Brightly" in his sig?

[Straha]

Just one person right now, more to come later (maybe)


General Fedayn- Commander of the Monacoran Special Forces, and commander of the Monacoran Intelligence branch, close advisor to the Military Prince.

[Thirdfain]

Added Fedayn, shouldn't have forgotten the fella


I've been doing all this from memory, and if I'm missing some stuff, please cut me some slack and inform me!

[Bugsby]

Im very pleased with the DP, Thirdfain. Would appreciate a blurb on Trilla Nor. "Formal-to-a-fault head Krell scientist. Injured in Rape, saved by Faran." She has gotten some face time and will be featured more later.

[Darksider]

Um, Thirdfain?

Hanse Davion died in the Rape Of Terra.

His Son Victor (Who is a Krytosian spy) now leads shiva.

[Thirdfain]

Right. That's why I had the ? mark.

Bye now!

[speaker-to-trolls]

Hey! WTF does Speaker to trolls have "A Brief Life Burns Brightly" in his sig?

I just like it, it's a good phrase. I'll get rid of it if you object.

[frigidmagi]

Lord Protector Sir Joshua Mattews, is the full name. There is also Sir Brain Mattews, cousin to the Lord Protector and heir, has well has chief diplomat and Fleet Admiral Andersen, uncle to the Lord Protector and Navy Operation Chief.

I also have Admiral Tzu head of 3rd fleet, who almost started a fight in the Arcane sector.

Added some folk to the Nyllorian OOB you might want to put up.

[Thirdfain]

[Rogue 9]

-Edited to include the rest of Month 7 and the beginning of Month 8, and the Minmatar Dramatis Personae was added.-

*Reads* No it isn't.

[Pablo Sanchez]

*Reads* No it isn't.

Wait for it...

[Thirdfain]

I was editing, A-hat!
