hey yall! so remember when I said I wasn't opposed to revisiting Radiance in the future? Well, I'm starting to warm up more to the idea, if only because Radiance had a few big plot points that need to be filled in somehow, namely:
That's the long and short of it. Like I said, I want to stick to strictly the important points because I don't want this to drag on longer than it needs to and I don't want it to just fizz out again like last time. I also get that the ORP is still in first gear and there are other people who want to get their own plots resolved, so I'm definitely in no rush. As long as we can keep everything straight and we don't go and do something in the present that goes and contradicts something that happens in Radiance, we're good.
I don't know man! It's worth a shot I guess?
- Dimitri was supposed to get a human body sometime during the events of Radiance, courtesy of his very very rich birth mother, in exchange for help with dealing with the negotiations between the Altaric Raiixians. This was supposed to involve someone else's character, someone with a laboratory-ish sciencey background to deal with the cloning aspect (Dimitri and Hector were born identical twins so it would be easy to craft a body for Dimitri through Hector's DNA.) This was maybe one of the bigger plot points to address so this is one I want to get to if nothing else.
- Speaking of Dimitri, post-Radiance he would have been going into law school, and possibly also doing diplomat work starting with Raiixia and then moving to a position in the Archipelago sometime around the present. So from the start of Radiance until now, Dimitri has been spending most of his time in Raiixia going through "rehab" to get used to his new body and doing work under his mother.
- At the end of Radiance, Raiixia transitions into a democratic system of government with the Raiixian monarchy remaining as a figurehead position, and Altaric Raiixians having equal representation. hurrah
- Another condition the Nyktori twins append in exchange for their help is that Marimai explain to them the circumstances of their birth and looking into the identity of their father. This one involves the capture of Fahyrv as a POW and offering him release and a pardon in exchange for information leading to the whereabouts of their father since it seems he might know something about who he is and where he vanished off to. I think this is one Pohatu might want to jump in on since it involves a lot of investigating. We'll be in touch I guess?
- Post-Radiance Hector gets a position as a deckhand. Slightly before this is the shit that goes down during Summoner Style that causes him to flee with Pleiades, so he's really lying low between around 2009 until now. There are some interesting things I want to explore here including Vathalé hiring private investigators to track him down; again, if anyone feels like that's something they wanna try, let's talk
That's the long and short of it.
