What happing in it?
------------------------------------------
The land of Metropolis is being caught between to countries at war. The Sibwen to the north lead by Roian and The Usiro to the south who follow Ector . These two have been at war for year and Metro once a happy peaceful city has become a no mans land of death and distortion.

Underground in Metro there is a training base and once a child comes of age he must help the fight. There are a few things that the child may choose; he may work in the weapons lad, making new and stronger weapons.
They may work for the builders making the stronghold bigger and better also there are rumors that the most advance are building large robots.
But most go into fighter group to help get back there home land.

There are two who are the best in there classes. Both Privet Ifer. Swordsmen class and Privet Games, gunner. Have exceeded expiations thanks natural skill. Yet a report Witten by the training master states that they are both rather reklace.

------------------------------
Weapons
------------------------------

A new item has been inverted by the sicants at the weapons lab that connects the weapon to the life force of the wider. One who is stronger will make the weapon stronger, there was also data that connected when heighten emanations are felt the weapon becomes enraged with power but this is being dismissed as error in the data. If the enemy got there hand on this tec then the resolute would be bad.

--------------------------------
Bad guys
--------------------------------
both Sibwen and Usiro have reamed weapons from one Dr Willy and now these robot nightmares are everywhere distorting anything that gets in there way. One of these robots has been captures by the first years and is being tested on.

Verrah cool. I don't think we should be first in our classes, though. Personally, I think it'd be more dramatic if we work our way up there or never get to the top at all, handling side-missions and stuff. But maybe that's just me. And what're we going to do about Skiek?

ok, sure that sounds cool.
Shirke... have no clue he hasnt really talked much about it so I didnt kown where to stick him. maybe we could give him a wepon maker job or somthing.

Yeah, it'd really help if he spoke up more.

So, did we decide on the type of background we're going to use?

And is it going to be a futuristic setting, or a relatively modern one, just with a few enhancements? IE: the real world in the future vs an alternate timeline in the present

Sorry, im on a 2 week trip to NJ, the land where i dont have flash. I love the idea, and i would like to do anything im good enough to do. Talk to me when january comes, for i wont eb here much till then. I would love to do some animation. Weapon maker seems okay >_< I'm sorry i dont speak up more, its hard to talk to people with 5 minutes of connection time on a 48k dial up modem.

Mkay, my character now has a couple attacks, so she's useful now.

How are you guys doing on your ends? And I repeat my earlier questions. Any ideas?

ive been treying top rweach gamedisk for a while. i want the music to my collab part >_> so i geuss nothing started yet/

Hm. Any idea what happened to him?

Gone for 10 days. Not too promising.

hi you two. Im here. sorry I have been away but with collageand girls and my own flash and sickness and driving lessions and trying to master my guitar. things have been hectic.

I am making a new fourm that is for me and my firends that I will always be ative on. I really like this and want to go fall wack at it.

so my firends I will post a link tomoreo.

I hope you two will join.

Yay! He's back! *happy dance*

New forum sounds good, if you'll be active there. I just have to remember to check it. Might have to poke me on this forum a couple times if I become inactive.

I've been a bit scarce lately, as well. My mom's decided she needs some proof that I'm not just sitting here on my lazy butt. Not that that's not at least partially true, but hey. She doesn't understand sprites, so I've taken up chainmaille jewlery and beading. I find beading amusing because the design principles are the same as those in spriting. Pointillism in yet another medium.

ok lets get going.

Things we need

Spirte Sheet for Ifer
Spirte Sheet for Gamesdisk
Simple Spirte Sheet for Training Master and Sub ( few standing poses)
Background Rips
Spirte Sheet for Items
Spirte Sheet for Bad guys
Spirte Sheet for other Repsl/Soilders

If Skiek's still with us, we might want a sheet for him, too.

I'm still (slowly) working on my sheet. The basics are done; walking, armor, a couple of attacks. Any requirements/suggestions for the training master & sub? I'll do those. They should be fairly simple to complete.

Did we decide on the background type? Isometric vs sideview? Sideview would definately be the easiest to do.

A list of the items we'll need would be a good idea, too.

BTW, sorry if it takes me some time to reply these days. My mom's got me busy.

no worrys, post when ya can.
oh Skiek's I fogot about him....lol sorry man

I think that you should be the main carri for this. manly for the facted I havnt really done anything towards my own sheet. I need to work on in. just lots of collage work.

yer I guess your right Item list would make it easyer to find the right items.

sideways all the way when we what them to walk away or towards us we will just have to trick there eyes.

Should we do this as a comic first? or go start to movie?

well, i dont know if my charachter would make it in but im doing an edit of some characherter. I cant remember the name, but here goes a sprite.
im going to changev the clothes pallete. also, durring the months i havent been here, i have gotten immensly better at flash.

If we do it as a comic first, we'll have some of the plot & character development set down in stone; as well as giving you two more time before needing your sheets to be able to be animated. Eitehr that, or we should flesh out the storyline much more before starting. Personally, I'd rather all three of us our characters be equally important for the majority of the storyline. However, to get the comic/movie started, we can follow my character until she meets up with you guys. Again, giving you time to work on your sheets. Different story arcs can focus on different characters.

Skiek: Heehee. That's cute. Like his little boots. We're doing it MM7-style, though; that sprite would clash a bit. I think I already linked to a Megaman sheet? Remind me if I'm wrong. Of course, you could always use one of the other characters in the series as a base; Mega's just the one with the largest PD sheet by fan spriters.

If either of you need help with your sheets, let me know. MM7-style sprites are generally easy to edit, and there are a lot of tutorials for them, but some people find them much more difficult than others; and poses for them arn't always a cup of tea. Especially since they start out with mostly ugly poses.

I'll get started on some background characters, and whatnot. We can decide where and how to use them when we get to it. Are either of you good with backgrounds? I havn't had much experience, and most on it's been either isometric or at an angle.


Lessee... okay, so let's review the story and add a bit more. Feel free to add to, clarify, change or delete any of this.
We're in the city of Metropolis, which is in the center of a war between the countries Sibwen and Usiro. (We assume that Metropolis has either strategic placement or excellent resources to warrent this.) The city is a battlefield, and the residents that havn't defected to either side are holed up underground in an attempt to survive the war and remain independant of either nation. There is a high level of technology, and magic/spiritual energy/life force that will accentuate our weapons (neither of the other sides have this ability). Dr Wiley is helping both sides of the war (but presumably not our own). It would follow that Dr Light is helping the resistance?
Our characters just came of age to help with the war. We follow Ifer as she signs up and gets a tour of the base. A room is assigned, report to skill assessment the next day. Skiek and Games are in the same skill assessment class. The class tests knowledge, leadership, tactics, mechanical aptitude, various physical attributes, and weapons proficiency. We first get a glipse of the abilities of our protagonists. (add stuff here) Ifer, Skiek and Games team up during training missions, mainly because their skills and fighting styles compliment each others'. Many of the other classmates go it alone during training, or a large group will form with one person as leader. (add stuff here) The class is given their first assignment, (insert very low-risk mission here). Each is given their first weapons and armor, suited to their abilities. Ifer, Skiek & Games have a bit of trouble, but manage to pull through. A couple of the other teams get into major trouble, and a couple others do excellently and manage to really help the higher-ups. (add stuff here) The gang volunteer for some extracurricular assignments, guard duty, etc.; gaining experience and credits along the way. On a minor mission, they learn (something to do with one of the warring countries). Either they tell their superior who ignores it/it goes through a ton of paperwork that never adds up to anything; or they don't have time and take it into their own hands and manage to (barely) stop the event, getting major wounds in the process. Either way, it helped the resistance gain ground, so they're given a reward; a large part of which the gang uses to order upgrades. (add stuff here) The upgrades arrive. (add rest of story here)

How's that for the basic plot for the first while? We'll need a lot more details, storyboards, and scripts; but it's a start. Anything you don't like, feel free to change. These are only ideas, mkay?
