Its been a minute, Shadow Clan. Far too long, some would say, and others would probably say not long enough.
I'm not here for any nefarious purpose, but more for one of a creative reinvention of what we are, or perhaps just to remember what we were, and what could have been.
I'm working on a Shadow Clan novel, and I do intend to put myself into it, 100%. I intend on finishing it, and attempting to publish it, and all of you will get your copies free.
Before I go any further in writing, however, as I am currently still formulating many complex ideas in my mind to make a world that even makes sense for the Shadow Clan to exist in, I would like to know what facets of each of your characters you want to be absolutely included, and I will do everything in my literary power to put it in the story.
With that said, obviously some things are going to be changed, or removed altogether from the story. This is unfortunate, but mandatory for the story to make sense as a whole.
If there is any mark you'd like to leave, here's your chance. I'll put it in as well as I can. Most of you alternate dimensioners, I'll do what I can to include your homelands, but some are a little out there, and won't be incorporated, same as some of the powers utilized by the Shadow Clan members themselves.
Anyway, have a good one, and enjoy your day/night. I'm looking forward to your responses and getting started on this story.

This seems to make more sense, on account of I have no idea what you consider acceptable or not.

Alright. Here's a general idea for the world in general.
-No space travel outside of what we have currently, with the exception of more space stations. -Major spaceports exist in each of the continents, generally one per world power. -Wars are a thing of the past, as countries no longer try to kill each other to deal with the increasing amounts of paranormal and supernatural occurrences taking place over the world (i.e. rifts) -Extraterrestrial characters are out of the question, as there is no space travel. Characters that are such, such as Hikari Moriyaku, will be modified slightly to make more sense. *Characters such as Hawk, Assassin, and Rose will still be from their alternate rifts, as they are not other planets. I will be doing the same for Hikari's character, possibly, depending on how well I can tie together so many diverse miniverses. -The Shadow Clan NPC military is not a massive world power; instead, it is the size of Israel's military, with the prowess to boot. The Shadow Clan has bases in America, Darkmoor, Europe, and South America, which are manned partially by the military and by conscripts of those countries. -The presence of demons and paranormal is both accepted and common throughout the world, and has been for some time. -Technology is much the same as the year isn't much past 2100, with the exception of some military vehicles and spaceports / space stations. (This is a world similar to that of Final Fantasy 7-8. Guns exist, but generally speaking the aristocratic warriors do not use them. The Shadow Clan falls under this category) -There are no mechs, so Cutlass will be modified as appropriate to make more sense. -Some character's powers, while interesting, have no place in the story as they make no sense in an applied sense. (AFR's magic jacket) These powers will be changed. *In the specific case of AFR, his character instead is the heir to a robotics corporation, so his Jacks are not an entirely unreasonable possibility. -Some character's names will be changed, as GDR and AFR make no sense to anyone who doesn't post or has not been with us for aeons.
There is a general idea of the world itself. I'd like for everyone to post their biography for their character here, updated, with the way you want them to appear and exist in the novel. I intend to use the original generation of characters with the exception of Shadow (The Dragon Ball Z loving Shadow)
These characters include: AFR, Armok, Assassin, Cutlass, GDR, Hawk, Hikari, Kat, Rose, and Worn. I intend to include Wolf as an infantry commander NPC, and if Blazerkid wants to be included I can find a role for that character as well. Cutlass, GDR, and Worn will all play auxiliary / support roles, as they are a) no longer with us, and b) that is way too many characters to manage as main roles.
Expect to see TTA as a villain, beyond him I can't make any promises.
If you communicate with anyone else outside of those found on this board, and they are interested in making a biography for me to use, feel free to post it for them or have them post it here. Your characters are, in part, your intellectual property, so get those bio's up as you want your characters to appear in the novel.
(Do include pictures, so I can describe your characters)

Preeeeeetty much that. idk, whatever I have in Kat's profile is basically "canon" as far as her SC history goes, so, go hog wild with that.

The updated bio was only if the current bio's strayed from canon, but I don't really think that will be an issue for anyone from the reading I did of the character biographies.
We'll see what happens, but hopefully this goes somewhere.

(Lol I had the same idea, Garrett, except I was planning on publishing a story about my character ) Okay, I like this. I would like BlazerKid to be in the story if that’s fine. I don’t mind modifications on my character since I had WAY too much going on with BlazerKid as far as I can remember. But I think if you’re going to revamp what we were, it would be best if you could update us on the revisions, plus for us to give feedback when we can. But I probably don’t have room to talk since I haven’t been here until now after so long. >_> My history with the SC is essentially the same as before: -Demon girl with fire powers and a freaky scythe joins SC -Demon girl doesn’t tell friends she’s possessed by a spirit -Due to possession, all hell breaks loose, and such and such happens (you can fill in the blank) -Demon girl goes missing, believed to have run away -Comes back, goes evil, and such and such happens (fill in the blank) -The end. As far as I’m concerned, you can do anything else. But if you would like to go ahead and include the other unimportant stuff like..: -The name of the spirit aka Kid Reaper -That whole Wolf/BK/Paper flowers (idk if plan on adding her) triangle arc, which made my character go evil in the first place -BK’s sister, Unknown, who sort of/kinda/not really worked for TTA/Asmodeus when he had his own forum -Anything else you can remember about my character (cuz I don‘t remember anymore) …then that’s fine too. You obviously don’t have too, though. I do not think BK is as important of a character compared to the others =) Um, if you think the name “BlazerKid” needs changing, you can go ahead and just call her “Reiya” instead. Like I said, it’s up to you. I’ll put up a bio about BK soon but for now I guess you could try and work it all out

Blazer, its good to see you found the Clan, so to speak. (I am so clever)
As you suggested, I will change some things about your character while attempting to stay as canon as possible. Here is a footnote of your character thus far:
-Reiya (Blazer) (Humanoid - supernatural) **Demonic** *Female. 5'6, 115 lbs. Eyes similar in description to that of fire. *Affinity with fire. Highly proficient with a scythe infused with fire. Close quarter combat specialist.
I have these footnotes for every character, and intend to include them in either the beginning or end of the book as a glossary, as "Declassified Dossiers" on the Shadow Clan and their bankroll. The title is also up in the air, as I'd rather get the book going before worrying about finishing touches and fine tuning. As with any story, it takes time to get it up in the air, but expect this one to fly mighty and fierce.
The minor characters currently include Wolf, John (X, i.e. GDR), and John (Worn), alongside Cutlass and Reiya. There are other characters that will not play as major of roles as others, but I intend to give every character their own slice of glory, as they all deserve it (as often as we've maimed, killed, or love-triangled them)
If anyone can remember Shadow13, and enough about them to include as a character, please throw it up, as the most I remember is vaguely something about a boomerang, and "killing shit like a boss."
Otherwise, in terms of book writing, I think this one is getting its running start before takeoff.
(And Hawk, at best I'll give you guys the prologue, but that is likely weeks away)
