Esper Effect!

[nonplus]

Well let me first off give you a general idea of what this stroy line will have involved in it! Here a small short story of how things came to be.

 

Project Esper

In the not so distant future, the world is relentlessly tormented by war and chaos. The sky is seared black, allowing no light to penetrate the atmosphere. All plant life has withered and will soon be completely destroyed. It is a time when Mechas rule the streets, and men form resistances to counter them. These groups are comprised of men from all walks of life; discrimination deals death to men and power to the Mechas. One such group is a group of scientists who call themselves Fusion. Fusion has nearly completed the design and construction of a device that can turn back time. Their hope is to alter certain events that accelerated the Mecha wars and the slow destruction of Earth. The device is known as Project Esper.

 

 

 

On 23 June, Fusion is working through the night. Suddenly, an earthquake seems to ripple throughout the lab, a converted warehouse in the inner city. A second ripple followed the first. Then, a third ripple shook the lab. Fusion quickly realized that the earthquake was only the result of a Mecha moving through the streets nearby. Due to their massive size and damage capabilities, Mechas usually refrain from moving too far into the inner city. The scientists knew that searches were being conducted to find Project Esper and capture those who developed it. With the Mecha drawing closer and closer, Fusion frenzies into a panic. Though some of the initial tests had only been partial successes, they decide that the time to use the machine has finally arrived. Knobs are turned furiously, and all papers are set to fire, so that no one could duplicate the experiment. Another ripple rips through the lab, jostling tables and knocking over cups of coffee. Unbeknownst to the scientific team, part of the calibration is knocked out of alignment. Monitors flood red and warning indicators begin to sound throughout the lab. The team scrambles to solve the problem, but it is to no avail. The experiment is tainted, and Fusion has no possible way of fixing the problem. A rather unemotional voice begins to emit from the speakers, "Warning. Critical mass will be obtained in one minute, fifty-nine seconds, fifty-eight..."

 

 

 

A final footstep from the Mecha indicates that it is standing just outside the warehouse, undoubtedly able to hear the failing experiment within. A metallic screech stops the scientists in their tracks. All the lights in the building blow out, and the only light is emitted from the monitors and the device itself. They instinctively look up to see that the ceiling is no longer completely connected to the building, but that part of the roof has been curled from the edge. The red glow reveals the face of Sorevoks, the chief of the Mechas, peering down on the team with a sinister grin. His maniacal laugh resounds through the building as he raises his large fist to crush the machine and capture the scientists. One of the scientists gasps, then yells, "No! You don't know what you're-"

 

 

 

The timer had reached zero. In that instant, time ceased. Then, it began again, moving very slowly. The scientists were a frenzied mob, trying to escape the blast. The device imploded, then exploded, spewing blue-white flames. They started small, at first. As they passed through objects, they seemed to gain strength and speed. The scientists and Serekov were completely engulfed. The explosion shook the entire Earth, and the flames came soon after. Most of Earth was engulfed before the flames died out. Legends say that the gods took notice, and they shuddered.

 

 

 

Many people died that night, but the thirty scientists and Sorevoks were not among them. Indeed, after the explosion, there was a complete peace, and each man thought that he had died. After a few moments, they realized that they had created a void, not terribly unlike what the universe was theorized to be like a few short nanoseconds after the Big Bang. Then, flashes. Each individual saw all of time that was, is, and could be. It was only then that the origin of Sorevoks became apparent.

 

 

 

Shortly after the turn of the new century, the Government became fearful of an uprising by its citizens, and it secretly began researching ways to maintain the peace. One such area of research was in the area of cyborgs. The head scientist, Dr. Sorevoks, was a brilliant young man who had been on the Mecha Project from the start. The Government decided that it wanted to make a man ten times his normal size, making him ten times as strong as well. The Mecha Project progressed by leaps and bounds, with the scientists quickly discovering the secrets of size and strength in a man. Their theory became that meshing the human skeleton with steel could make him stronger still, enough even after considering the added body mass. With each report Sorevoks gave to the Government, the more generous the Government became. The time to test had finally come. The scientists were afraid to test on rodents or monkeys. Since the animals lack a human degree of intelligence and control, they might break free and have the capability to terrorize a city before being stopped. Dr. Sorevoks selflessly volunteered to be the first test, proving his complete trust in the Mecha Project and its scientists.

 

 

 

The test proved to be more painful than imagined. The process of meshing the human body with a steel exoskeleton was a long and enduring process. As soon as the process had begun, Dr. Sorevoks began to stretch and grow. He had quickly become twice his size. So quickly, in fact, that some of the chief scientists began to worry about the outcome. The process continued through the night and well into the next day. When complete, Dr. Sorevoks was not ten, but twenty times his original size, and roughly fifty times as strong. He began to move, clumsily at first, with increasing control. His stamina and strength were uncharted, and the Government was well pleased. It immediately tripled funding and demanded that a small army be assembled. Sorevoks was to be their leader.

 

 

 

What was left to be discovered, however, is that the process promotes slight derangement. With his newfound strength, Sorevoks realized his unique ability to reckon with those who had the power he so craved. He decided to bide his time, and wait for his army to be assembled. It took twenty years. When finally assembled, Sorevoks led a group of five hundred oversized half-crazed men into battle against those who had ordered their construction. And so the Mecha wars began.

 

 

 

A flash. A different time and place was revealed to all stuck in the void. All this repeated until ever event in history was seen. Then, silence and nothingness. Suddenly, a thought struck one of the scientists, and a world appeared in the distance. Startled at first, everyone in the void slowly began to contemplate the world in front of them, growing larger. Stars began to form. Planets of various shapes and sizes appeared. As a thought flashed through each persons mind, it became reality. The worlds became populated with animals and plants. The universe began to expand and fill with phenomena seen throughout history. Slowly, the scientists became to realize that their very thoughts were coming true, exposing each to be some sort of god. Evil entered the ever-approaching planet, and Fusion realized that Sorevoks had realized his power as well, already twisting the world to his own. The planet now loomed in the distance, and everyone realized they were falling to it. A short battle began between Fusion and Sorevoks, with each side attempting to create the world according to its own will, undoing what the opponent had done and adding a bit to the world. They abruptly entered the atmosphere and plummeted to the ground below. Despite their new abilities, the fall killed fifteen of the scientists. Sorevoks lost massive amounts of blood, which tainted four of the remaining scientists. All sixteen left alive slept for ages. Upon awakening, the five evil gods, with Sorevoks in the lead, made war against the eleven sacred gods for control of the planet.

 

 

 

A clash of gods and titans was about to begin...

 

A friend from gamedev.net helped me with this story line! Do not want to take complete credit for it.

 

What im looking for is a complete team:

 

Music/Sound

General Gameplay

Sound FX

Music Coordination

Concept Art-

Character Design

Building Design

Monster Design

Mech/Vehicle Design

Photoshop Arist

3d Designer

Building Models

Character Models

Would like to find some other people that are familiar with this construction kit as well:

 

Scripters

Data Entry

 

Esper Effect is going to never ending so I hope. Once a chracter reaches a certain level of mastery they open a whole new world of learning for themselves. Also the game at first will be basically multi leveled( A world inside of a world type thing ).

 

If this sound interesting to you send me an email at [email protected] I would gladly babble a little more about the project

[Neonical]

What do you mean by data entry? I might be able to help with that depending on what it is.

 

I could... well... I can't model worth anything.

[UberBender]

Great story! A few cliches but it makes up for it.

[nonplus]

Thanks for compliments! Any problems i am open to constructive critisism. The data entry part would be adding the creatures spells etc.. Any ways if any of you know any body send them my way.

 

 

Thanks
