[Marvelous Miscreant]

So, does anyone wanna take the lead and begin writing the script for this?

[Zaleramancer]

Between me, Vault and Wulf, we could turn out a really nice script.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Writing this script will be a bit different that what you guys may be used to. We'll need to keep in mind that this will translate into a visual image so much of it will be descriptive rather than narrative. Timing and cues will have to be taken into account as well as the balance between dialogue and action.

Also, we'll need to determine the overall tone as well as how we want to narrate.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

@Zale: I think so, too. It has great potential.

@Marv: So, is it sort of like a screenplay?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Well, yes....what did you think it would be like? We have to write to support a visual media....that's like the definition of a screenplay.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 'Twas only a question, Marvelous.

Just, I've done something like screenplays before, and I hope my part turns out as well as intended.

[Philote]

It might be easier to have them already living on the nexus, since we would not have to think up five different realms for them to come from and the characters could already know each other, but then we lose some of the aspect of them finding out about the multiverse.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Yeah, I figured they'd all start in the same place. They'll have chances to explore the multiverse as the story progresses.

[Philote]

The could all live on the Nexus, but their parents or grandparents could of come from other worlds. That way we can start them off with only knowledge of the Nexus and still reveal things from their own realms later on as they discover it also.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Yeah, heck, why not? Though I think it's best if they're able to live there, but not required.

I mean, seriously, who can force a race of reality benders?

Otherwise, yeah, I think it would be excellent for a living space. That was actually part of the reason I wanted it to be the size of Jupiter.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

What reality benders are you referring to?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

The NB protagonists. The characters we're working on now. Nobody could FORCE them to live on the Nexus, so it's likely they'd like there of their own will. Unless we go with Phi's idea, and they live their because their predecessors did.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I think perhaps you misunderstood something. The protagonists for this story are not reality benders.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Oh, so they're just regular supers. Okay, then.

That was never clarified before, I don't think. Or if it was, I missed it. Sorry about that.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I figured it was obvious since we set out specific abilities for each character.

[Zaleramancer]

I have a narrator in mind, once we establish the tone of the story.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I was thinking a mix of lightheartedness during low points and an intense seriousness during highpoint such as epic battles and confrontations.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Well, I actually just chalked it up to specialties. Like me, preferring to summon and shapeshift. It kinda went over my head.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Yeah, that sounds good.

And so, since they're just regular old supers, and not reality benders, what level of powers can we ascribe to them? Or, I guess my real question is, could there perhaps be a super with a powerful combination of Quantakinesis (which is highly versatile), Digital Mind (which is multifaceted) and Precognitive Reflexes?

[Philote]

That seems a little disproportionate to the current characters we have and I think we are pretty much done with setting up what the main team is going to be. Not to say that a person like that can't show up as an NPC.
