I'm interested, it's just that I wasn't at my house for the last two days.

I've been thinking about it on-and-off over the last few days, although I have to admit that It's not really grabbing me.

I'm not sure why, though. It kinda feels like maybe there's too much in there? Mecha and anthros and music-based magic and dimension-hopping, etc.

Well, it worked well enough in Sonic Rush. Done well, I can see it working. Even if there's a lot going on, something strong to align all the elements does the job. Still, this isn't too complicated when you step back.

The way I see it, this is a pair of mostly identical worlds that have developed similarly, grafted together at a few points, to adverse effects. It's basically people in battroidgundamechs from both worlds fighting to separate each other from their temporary allies, because leaving things alone would be the apocalypse. I think a big question is, does this Elysium know slapping the two worlds together is pretty much going to bork the universe? Maybe their plan is to gather all the powar and jump ship into some third pocket dimension—or maybe they're all crazies who don't really know what they're doing, despite being organized to accomplish what they have so far.

I wasn't really going for Magic with the music-based thing >.<;; but that's one way of looking at it. It's supposed to be more psychic/psyche based than magical. But I suppose it's all different names for the same thing.

Ramzam has pretty much summed it up well. Two identical worlds that were once one, split apart. Developed similarly, though separately. Collided together by a scheming group who know the history, but not the full results of what happens, but have their own agenda for putting them together. A group of people, some of them fuzzy, in mecha-type vehicles, fight to stop the organization, and control the damage.
Finding out what Elysium's plan really is and what it will do will be a part of the plot.

It sounds a lot simpler that way than the ramble-post I put up originally, and less disjointed.

So, this alternate Earth is basically the missing half nobody knew was missing. What're the joinings of the worlds like? Y'know, other than weird, wobbly space clouds and the reverse-gravity anomaly that was probably in STALKER (but I wouldn't know, because I never played the games 8D) and a few, rogue Forgotten Beasts. Are they just Stargate kind of portals, or is it as if both worlds have been stitched back together as if they're a single planet?

or is it as if both worlds have been stitched back together as if they're a single planet?

This - though there tend to be 'rough edges', usually prone to tectonic activity, severe or rapidly changing weather conditions, electromagnetic interference and other localized problems. They're 'bad spots' for all sorts of reasons, and the effects are inconsistent - it might be fine for a few hours, and you can gaily stroll back and forth and have a picnic. But then, all of a sudden it might become hideous skin-flaying hail and lightning storms. Or the grue turns up and starts chasing you around and stealing your sandwiches.

Visually, there'd probably be like a heat-haze effect in the air. You can see what's there, and it almost seems to blend in, but it looks a bit like a mirage or as if there's a lot of heat rising from the ground.
I'm not sure how random the overlaps would be - whether you'd start finding alternate-world shopping malls in the middle of the Atacama Desert, or an oil tanker in the middle of the Great Plains, but the idea is that the two worlds are fused together, and that there's a certain element of collapse and decay to things, and a definite element of otherworldly strangeness. Almost post-apocalyptic, but without the complete collapse of civilization that one would expect in such a setting.

My main points in having the two worlds together are:
A) Familiarity, so we can experience places we know exist as players, but have them be changed and altered
B) Exploration, so we can also explore new and unusual places, but possess current cultural references and technology while doing so
C) Introduce new creatures, technology and peoples to a familiar world, without abandoning or removing ourselves too far from what we know.

tl;dr, I like pop culture jokes/references, modern cities, and M16's, but I also like aliens, ancient hi-tech civilizations and giant robots. I wanted all of them in one thing.

Interesting, so it'd be a patchwork world? Would there be space there to account for all of both worlds? I.e, would there be large chunks of each society missing as they've been overwritten by the other world? Or would it be more like similar places merge together?

That aspect could certainly be an interesting thing to explore in an RP.

Well, I have other news also - digging around on my PC, I have found a copy of the GEARS background. So, there's also that option to consider, with putting this idea to one side, or adapting elements of it into another game another time.

im up for just about anything, though i did like the GEAR RP, up to you blade.

I wouldn't mind another GEARs, I guess.

Well, I'll post an int check for GEARS, and close this down. If people are interested, then it'll run.

If you're more interested in the Modern Military/Sci-fi thing, or want in on that, I have an int check up for something like that too - http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/9658/posts/ooc

I'll close this thread down now, if you're interested in either of the others, then I'll see you there.
