These two ideas have been sitting in the back of my head for some time. But I'm having a hard time in deciding which I should do first, so I now ask you, my fellow rolepayers to decide which of the two is best.
Adruis: Age of Strife(Magitech/Science Fantasy)
It all began five hundred years ago, when the world entered a new industrial age. It started with the discovery of the mysterious elemental ores known today as Etherium, a mineral with powerful properties, if consumed, gifts the individual with untold power at their bidding, for a time being. Manifesting the worldly energies around the tip of their very fingers, at their command. It was thought of as sorcery in it's simplest terms, and in many ways, they are correct. The Ore itself is Magic in it's rawest, physical form.
In mass quantities, Civilizations grew more advanced as it was soon discovered the ore was a perfect source of fuel for machines as well. Nearly replacing all other forms of fuel, ushering in a new age for the world of Adrius. Etherium soon became the driving force for the centuries to come, and in that time, the world emerged anew, more prosperous then ever before, it seemed a Golden Age was to dawn on this new world. But, such things cannot last for eternity. By 530 EA(Etherium Age), Hard economic times have fallen, nations exhaust their supply of etherium, and now squabble over the remaining Etherium Deposits,conflict sparking to life as tensions rise. An Age of Strife has begun, and all out war is on the horizon and the world on the brink of annihilation, what actions will you take to survive these trying times?
Star Wars: The Succession Wars(Alternate Universe)
Months had passed since the Clone Wars had finally been put to an end, the confederacy is broken, the New Galactic Empire reigns in a new age of peace, at least what they want to believe. The Empire now wages a final campaign of destruction for the scattered remnants and holdouts of the separatists, sending it's armies in one last strike. The Campaigns have been bloody, many lives lost, both clone and human alike. Sons, brothers, and Fathers taken away from their families in the Emperor's mad quest for total galactic domination. However, he was too blind to see his actions would indeed have terrible consequences, for one particular man would stop at nothing, to put an end to the unnecessary bloodshed.
It all began one that one faithful day on Coruscant. As a new batch of cadets brace for their next step in their military career, as Imperial Officers, it was to be a time of celebration. But that would not last. As The sun set on Coruscant, as Nightfall came, it started. The Imperial Plaza was lit ablazed as the bombs were set off, catching the garrisons off guard as thousands of armed revolutionaries flooded the streets, slaughtering and overwhelming the defending Stormtroopers. These men were none other then the cadets, following the commands of the Headmaster of the Imperial Academy, Gentis.
The battle was short-lived, it did not take long for Darth Vader, the Emperor's Enforcer and Apprentice, to rally the stormtroopers to fight off the rebels, they had the upper hand, until the Central Plaza Building was also set off with explosives, it however, was quite different. The building was engulfed in a green mist, it was the necrotic Aorth-6 virus.And worst of all, the Emperor was within the building, Darth Vader and a squad of troopers hurried to the Emperor's aid, greeted by a a crowd of dying soldiers, but still marched on.
Darth Vader then came to see that, the Emperor indeed, did not survive the attack, he laid in his chambers, a corpse. This had sent the Sith lord into a frenzy, as he stormed out of the building, pushing the remaining stormtroopers into the fray as he charged towards a mass of rebels as they unleashed a volley of blaster fire. Pieces of his armor begun to fall as he took as much of the blaster fire as he could, slashing away, taken a few of the rebels with him, until he could go on no more, and fell to his knees, dropping his lightsaber. Gentis, upon arriving to see his plan succeed, and to deliver the final blow to the empire. He stared into Darth Vader's exposed, furious eyes for a brief moment before executing him with his own lightsaber, slicing his head clean.
All cheered as they witnessed the greatest moment in their lives. They single handily saved the Empire, and the galaxy, or so they thought.
After acquiring the support of a few Generals and Admirals, Gentis had announced to the Galaxy of Deaths of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, and crowned himself Emperor, his vision would soon come to a bitter end. Gentis could not hold the empire together as it crumbled right before his eyes. The Galaxy once again descended into chaos. Worlds loyal to the Old Republic immediately broke away, Civil War amongst the most powerful of Imperial Moffs and Military Officers, separatist holouts striking back and regaining momentum.
Twenty years after the Gentis Coup, the galaxy is a much different place, the Empire is no more, in it's place, is a vast array of imperial successor states, each claiming the mantel of True Heir to the Empire. Same has happened for the Republic loyalists and Confederates, even the remnants of the sith, and surprisingly, the jedi, are divided amongst themselves, while most other worlds and systems simply do not care. This new period is known to many as the Succession Wars, a time of almost continuous, on and off warfare. Be it skirmishes between small time warlords, to sector or regional spanning wars between larger powers, and there seems to be no end in sight. It is an uncertain time, a time of the rise of new heroes and villains alike, what part will you play in these times?
So, interested? Which calls to your attention more? Any questions?
