Some character development mostly. This may be the last little bit to go into SotG.

Spectre of the Gun - posts 6-12

Spectre of the Gun - posts 6-12:
Carnifex meets a bounty hunter in the bar and his mind turns more and more toward seperating from the rest of the BHG in order to ensure that the hunters on Deshima can make their own way and not suffer the consequences of actions by other hunters outside of Kusari.

Also, good luck with all your marking GreyScale.

Posts 1-4 of Specter of the Gun
Spectre of the Gun is a thread that started as a purely open bounty hunter story but I'm turning it into the story of the split of the Bounty Hunters Guild. RP that has yet to have the details worked out so it's direction may be lacking. Hopefully it gets really actiony soon.

Final post in The Cardimine War
The final post in this thread, the story continues on but with the halting of all wars on the server the RP has dried up for the most part. A new thread of future invasions will eventualy come up.

August and July updates of SW:WT History
For all those with long attention spans interested in the nuts and bolts of RP on SWWT.

LDotKE and the addition of the full History

Last Days of the Kusari Empire
I've stopped posting this on the forum because it has become little more then a comentary on events that everyone is aware of but I like to keep writing it anyway. So yes, comentary.

Shattered Worlds: War Torn - A History
This is the summery of a section of the forum where leaders of factions (groups, nations, companies, ect.) post important news. It effectively summerises all the important events that have occured on the server since it began.

The Cardimine War, Posts 1-20

The Cardimine War - Posts 1-20
Started before the role play of cardiforming two Kusari planets by the outcasts began but quickly transformed into a much used public thread where a lot of the details were worked out. It is possibly the most incoherent thread I've blogged yet so be prepared and remember that these writers are gamers and not authors.

Multiple Posts and stuff, June 12th

Yet Another Shadow #7
With the factions changed and my original plan derailed (one of the great things about bar thread style writing, call me crazy) I'm shunting it down a path towards the Outcasts and Kusari... I think...
Cravic will in general be a bit of a wild card for the moment.

Last Days of the Kusari Empire #8
I've left this one a bit long so really just a catch up post, linking between steps of the story i guess. Hopefully things pick up soon.

Art by me:
Liberty Simbol; the exact same kind that Cravic would wear in Yet Another Shadow and The War.
A sig for an officer in the Liberty Navy; the ship shown there firing it's guns is a Liberty battleship.
Empire of the Rising Sun sig for Banzai; the same Empire as the Outcasts have put in power in Last Days of the Kusari Empire

Several posts, May '10

Yet Another Shadow #4

Mainly to give the story some direction, i've mostly lost interest in it though. There's a new Liberty faction on the server now so i have less freedom to role play the government and stuff. I might still continue this further yet. I still have half a post for it writen, just uncomleted.

Last Days of the Kusari Empire #7

The Outcasts finally move on Planet New Tokyo, crushing all hope for those resisting them. Mainly just in responce to the change of stance of the government, trying to stay on their good side doesn't just happen.

Enjoy

Last Days of Kusari post #6

The Last Days of the Kusari Empire

Carnifex is given a job to kill a deserter who is behind enemy lines in a combat zone. I've rarely had a chance to get Carni into a situation where he can do the good old soldier-type killing that regular bounty hunters would do. He tends to make most of his kills from his pilot's seat in space so it was a nice change of pace and gave me quite a challenge. As you would expect these bounties are far more up close and personal then those from a fighter in space so it's corespondingly a little more violent then usual. I was slightly surprised by the length of it, took me a few hours to finnish it. Enjoy and/or comment :)

To Begin With

In this blog I will actualy blog stuff. I will be using this to coordinate all my other blogs so if you want to follow my stories (and the contributions of others on the Shattered Worlds: War Torn forums) then you only need to follow this one and it will link you everywhere else.
All my blogs are stories writen mostly by me (Carnifex) with additions made here and there by other people in what is called a bar thread. Each participant can contribute at will and influance the flow of the story. The basic restrictions on this are that each person, although able to create as many characters as they want and make all those character's choices for them, are not alowed in any way to influance the decisions of the characters of any other participant. All posts must be relavent to the story of course, hence the thread structure that esentualy becomes a dynamic narative.
They are not always something great to read, much of the fun is in the writing, but I like to think that a unique and fun process can produce a unique outcome so I reproduce here all the storys I contribute to in a significant way.
Most (if not all) my writing is based in the fictional universe of a game called Freelancer begun by Digital Anval and finnished (ie: ruined) by Microsoft when they bought DA out. In it colony ships fled a sol almost completely anhilated by over a century of all out war between to opposing super powers in a last ditch atempt to escape and start out anew. They arived in the sirius sector, five ships in all, and each picked their own system to call their new home. Over 800 years they have grown into four great houses spanning dozens of systems and at the distant edges of the sector the Outcasts and Corsairs live, both child races of the same damaged sleeper ship but locked in a blood feud. In recent years aliens have been encountered. Nomads. Their origens go back hundreds of thousands of years, the creations of another alien race the Dam'Kavosh (spellings vary) who were very advanced but mysteriously disappeared long long before man achieved space flight. The Nomads see humans as an infection in their space and seek to eliminate them in any way possible. This is where my stories are set.

My existing blogs at this time are as follows:

Guns, Germs and Radiation Resistant Super Alloys
This blog is the story of my main character Carnifex, a Bounty Hunter and ex-Lane Hacker criminal, and his escapades through the Sirius sector. At the moment it's very far from finnished. More updates as time goes on.

Chasing Monsters
This is one of the oldest stories I have, parts of it anyway. The main character is called Perez and is a member of the secret organisation the Order whos charge it is to keep the Nomad threat at bay if not bring it to a complete end. It is the story of Perez and his search for a few Nomad infiltrators out to sow havoc in the houses of Sirius.

The War
Not the most imaginative title I know. The story of the war between Liberty and her ally Bretonia and Kusari (with Rhienland sticking it's nose in now and then). Main character Cravic, Admiral of the Liberty Navy. This thread has been taken through to it's conclusion and so is 'complete'.

Operation Full Circle
This is an aside to 'The War'. The starting plot was not my idea by the way it was IL's. A remote construction site that was set up before the war is now behind enemy lines and under constant attack despite still suporting a native workforce. The CEO of Samura, Kusari's biggest corporation (and political influancer) comes to rescue his employees and capture some secret documents while he's at it.

Yet Another Shadow
This is the aftermath of 'The War' following the attempted assassination of Cravic and the covert take over of the government by elements of the Liberty Police. Cravic is out to get revenge and set things back in the 'rightful order'.

The Last Days of the Kusari Empire
This jumps foward a bit from 'The War' and happens part way through the events of 'Yet Another Shadow'. Kusari is in political and military turmoil and begins to totter on the brink of selfanhilation even as their longest standing enemy, the Blood Dragons, and their allies crush them from without. Seen through the eyes of Carnifex (long after the events curently chronicaled in 'G.G.R.R.S.A.').

The Cardimine War
This thread comes after the events of 'The Last Days of the Kusari Empire' and focuses on the infuence of cardimine, a potent drug that geneticaly modifies the user to become fully dependent on it, meaning death if a user stops. It creates fearlessness and feelings of invincibility which makes it the driving force of the Outcasts and their soldiers.
