Yay excitement.

As for the manga you don't need to read it, but I recommend for two reason, The first is that it is simply and amazing story. The second reason is that it's the original and it shows what kind of story will this be and where it will go. 

Also there are two general ways the story can start. One we can follow the story one of the 10 elite groups, or we can follow the story of one of the 3 fail fail groups. Personally I prefer the fail group sin that they are easier to do since they require less research when it comes to their intelligence and skill set and they are more relatable seeing as they are common people where as the elites are well... elites. 

Anyway Due to my school schedule I can't do this anytime yet, at least until the second week of June, but in the meantime I'll keep it up here to gather interest and if you are all willing to wait that long we can set up the story. By setting up the story I mean we need to consider environment they'll land in e.g. where, when, and how, there is also the evolved and changed flora and fauna which is always kind of fun to create, the arc situation that they'll be facing as in what kind of situation and impending danger will the team be facing other than just arriving on earth, by which I mean will there be wild animals that are hunting them or a drought, and the team's general dynamic as in what roles will they play, what skill set do they bring with them, what equipment do they have on their backpack, the real story as to why they were chosen, and the team's name.

Also this entire project of mine is that of a vanity and optimistic one. I hope to one day launch several of these with different groups or at least a few people whom I'm close to where we will collectively create one story about all the 13 group colonies.
