Not The Goddamn @dmin
Starcraft x Metroid.


Specifically, the kind of shitstorm that would erupt if the X parasites ever met the zerg.

Sora-->Ven-->Aqua.

Maybe a bit of a stretch, but certainly justifiable.

I sincerely doubt it's as easy as *scribble scribble* "You're a turnip now."
Riku Replica man. NaminÚ can break memories with no problem, but making fake ones, or god forbid, fixing old ones is what takes time.
Repliku is an artificial being constructed from memory like Xion is, which means Namine most likely has a much easier time screwing around with him than doing the same with Sora/Riku/Aqua. Moreover the memories Namine broke were the ones she wrote herself.

Remember, Marluxia wanted Sora as a puppet under Namine's control so he could turn against Xemnas. If Namine can wipe memories so trivially with just anyone then she would have done so immediately while she was still Marluxia's bitch rather than taking the time to insert herself into Kairi's place.

Then too, there's also the matter of the split in the Organization's ranks. Vexen, Lexaeus and Zexion kept Riku's presence in the castle to themselves and tried to turn him to darkness as a counter to Marluxia's plans rather than informing the others that he was there at all. With Aqua and Riku suffering from personal conflicts over Riku's darkness I imagine their plans would shift into trying to manipulate Riku into killing off Aqua.

It wasn't that she couldn't wipe all of Sora's memories/the memories of everyone connected with Sora, the problem is that she needed to have Sora completely devoted to protecting her and doing what she said. She needed to be the only thing on Sora's mind and in his heart--hence the memory worlds, drawing his memories of those places close to the surface and snipping them clean once he'd left the world. By the time he reached floor 13 all that was left of Sora's memories were the sections between the memory chambers and NaminÚ.

EDIT: I don't remember where it's specifically laid out, but NaminÚ's memory altering powers only work on Sora and those connected with him. She can't rewrite people's memories as she likes, but she can get at the ones with Sora in them pretty easily.

FYI, I'm not telling you the idea doesn't work, just suggesting things to think about. Plug the gaps in the theory and I think it'd be interesting.

But that doesn't answer the question; why go to all that trouble if she can completely wipe minds whenever she likes? If Namine's power over memories is so absolute then it would be so much easier for her to wipe the slate clean and then write whatever memories she wants Sora to have of her. It seems like one route involves taking the Mona Lisa and doodling on it until it's a picture of something else and the other involves shaking an etch-a-sketch and drawing the same thing.

EDIT: I don't remember where it's specifically laid out, but NaminÚ's memory altering powers only work on Sora and those connected with him. She can't rewrite people's memories as she likes, but she can get at the ones with Sora in them pretty easily.
Which makes Aqua all but immune to her since she's met him for all of about five minutes. Riku may be a problem but Marluxia has half of his team conspiring to keep Riku's presence a secret from him.

FYI, I'm not telling you the idea doesn't work, just suggesting things to think about. Plug the gaps in the theory and I think it'd be interesting.
I had a feeling you weren't, it's just that these gaps require rather specific events and interpretations of events to take place for them to become a major problem. "Namine can casually mind-whammy Aqua into a broken doll" really isn't the same argument as "She can't rewrite people's memories as she likes, but she can get at the ones with Sora in them pretty easily."

Why go through the trouble? Because Marluxia requires it. He wants Sora to fight, not be a mindbroken coma patient. That means putting him through his paces while the process is ongoing, and it means working to dredge up every memory to ensure that absolutely nothing can distract him from NaminÚ's fakes. And she has to take Kairi's place, if she isn't Kairi's replacement then Sora wouldn't go to the ends worlds for her. If Sora's memories are completely gone, then there's nothing about Kairi or NaminÚ to inspire Sora.

Part of the problem regarding NaminÚ's powers is that she has to be subtle to do anything lasting. She cracked the Replica, but he was up and fighting Riku to the death no more than two days later. She completely erased all of Sora's memories and wrote herself over the place where Kairi should have been, but even so Sora chose to go back to the way he was.

To summarize, she really does have total control over Sora's memories but it's a lot easier to break than to build in any fashion, and the difficulty of the breaking increases as a person gets more distant from Sora.

Okay, stop. You and I have seriously got our wires crossed somewhere. I have explicitly said multiple times that Namine could erase all of Sora's memories and then create new ones with herself in them, leaving Sora in a coma has never been up for discussion.

That's a reference to what happened to the Riku Replica when she snapped his memories; he collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut.

Look, if NaminÚ could have wiped Sora's memories clean entirely and then written entirely new ones in their place, she would have. She did not, even though she has the power to. Ergo there is a reason she did not. I've been suggesting that it takes a lot more time to create all new memories than to edit or erase them. They probably don't have the same emotional weight that real memories do either, since Sora clearly feels stronger for Kairi than NaminÚ, even with his memories edited. So for Marluxia's plan to work NaminÚ needed to erase all of Sora's memories from before he entered Castle Oblivion, except the ones where NaminÚ had added herself, so that he'd have nothing else to fall back on.

Right, so the point where we're disagreeing is on the subject of Replica. He's the only demonstrated example of Namine completely shattering someone's memories, and that can be explained as a special case for several reasons: (1) Replica is a memory-based being like Xion and may be especially vulnerable to her powers, and (2) Namine had spent time rewriting his memories prior to putting him in a coma; she can't instantly break memories unless she wrote them herself, which lines up with Marluxia trying to force her to do the same to Sora on the last floor. Either of those explanations would prevent her from being able to instantly neutralize Riku and Aqua.

I'd think she could get Riku good, remember that Riku even jokes that they're almost exactly alike as the Replica is dying. Plus Riku's as close to Sora as anyone.

Aqua's probably okay, Sora doesn't remember anything about their meeting, or anything at all about Ven.

Oh there's no question that Namine can get at Riku's memories eventually, I'm just saying it's going to take too much time for her to do so before Aqua starts screwing around with Castle Oblivion's defense systems or turns it back into The Land of Departure or what have you and then everything goes completely off the rails.

That's the sort of discussion I was sort of hoping this would prompt, "what effects would Aqua have on the plot", not so much "can Namine immediately destroy all possible conflict." If that's the only part of the plot you want to discuss then I have a different idea I'd rather bounce off the sounding board.

I'll take that as a go-ahead.

Megaman Zero:

At some point during his hibernation, the systems keeping Zero's systems online but inactive fail and he essentially dies in his sleep. His cyber elf refuses to pass on into cyberspace because the Earth (and X) still need him however, and instead his elf fuses with his remains. When Ciel comes looking for him, she finds a wrecked corpse of a reploid and a sentient block of metal; Model Z, the first naturally-occurring biometal.

Zero's memories are somewhat more intact than in canon but there are still gaps in his memory regarding the elf wars and the events of some of the X games. His personality is more positive and cocksure like he was before X4 when the business with Iris turned him emo. This is important because it juxtaposes him against both the setting of the Zero series -- by far the darkest and most depressing in the Mega Man franchise -- and against his user.

Ciel biomatches with Zero while being pursued by forces from Neo Arcadia and because of a flaw in the process she becomes the only person Zero can biomatch with. This is a serious problem; Ciel pinned her hopes on a savior because she can't do the job herself, not only because she's not a fighter but also because she has this thing about taking action in person. The last time she tried that she created Robot Hitler at age six and she still blames herself for a good deal of everything that came after him. Suffice to say she's a bundle of neuroses and she needs someone in her corner if she's to have any hope of saving the Resistance and stopping Copy X, never mind everything that comes after him.

The story forces Ciel into the role of the Resistance's protector because the resistance base comes under attack from Pantheon forces led by Aztec Falcon shortly after Ciel returns from the retrieval mission. This leads into the rescue mission to the disposal center, which Ciel in all likelihood fails because she's not fast enough to beat the time limit during AF's boss fight. This in turn makes things worse because Ciel assaulting a Neo Arcadian facility in person leads Harpuia and the other Generals to think that Ciel has given up on a peaceful solution to the energy crisis and take the kid gloves off to deal with her.

So that's the bad news. The good news is that she has Zero riding shotgun with her and Zero has seen X deal with trying to protect people while also being a pacifist before. I'm also importing the notion of the Biomerge from Return to Zero, meaning that Ciel can get a lot more oomph out of Model Z than she would normally be able to because she's the only one who can megamerge with him. On the downside, being so closely connected to each other brings up a certain amount of concern in Zero since he doesn't remember ever being purified of the Maverick Virus and there's a risk of Ciel being infected by it. This is a red herring; Omega has the Maverick Virus, not Zero's second body or Model Z.

Nice work there Artemis.

It reminds me I have had an idea about a post ZX story wherein "Mass Produced" Biometals (essentially turning people into the Sniper Joe/Pantheon/Etc equivalent to the true Megamen) are a major power. Held only by the military, certain mercenary groups, a handful of Raiders, and most importantly criminals.

The backstory is that Master Thomas's planned revolt failed quite quickly as Master Mikhail was able to get off a warning to the heroes. Unfortunately while they succeeded in stopping this planned coup afterwards the military wing of Legion was in a position to take over. At first it did not seem like there was a problem, and by studying the Biometals the mass produced Model J(Jaeger, but they will bear a resemblance to the Sniper Joe Series, juse with a visor in place of the Mono Eye Sensor that made them look like Zaku knockoffs). However in time those in command of the military tried to seize greater and greater power. The Megamen stopped them, put in the aftermath Legion splintered into different factions, forming new countries.

In order to prevent abuse the 7 Biometals were hidden, leaving only the much weaker Model J's in circulation. These were used by the best soldiers of the "War of Dissolution" and development of new versions became a way of securing power in the post Legion world.

Unfortunately a century later this would cause a disaster. Seeking power an organization of criminals who made a living raiding "protected" areas entered the undersea remains of Ouroborous, and their Model J's fused with the broken remains of the Ultimate Model W. Thus was born the Model WV (Weil Variant) series a type of Biometal that turns it's holder into a mindless killing machine subservient to Model W. These new puppet begin repairing Ouroborous,repairing the Model W Core formed during it's creation and mass producing the Model WV's from the rest of it's remains.

While Model W itself is not sapient it still holds the lingering data of Weil, and seeks and outlet for the madman's undying hatred. The WV's seek out biomatches for Model W, driven by it's need for a "Master", a need instilled by Master Albert in an attempt to establish control.

Both Model J and WV do not need a true "biomatch" like the previous Models, and can be used by anyone assigned as a user. For Model J this means one has to have a special code installed in order to access it's systems. For Model WV, anyone is a viable host. Essentially they are a bio mechanical Zombie Horde converting all those who can be useful, killing the old and infirm, while looking for a proper Biomatch for the Model W. That Biomatch will become the ruler of this horde. So far all those exposed to the core have been driven mad and destroyed themselves trying to control it's power.

Safeties installed in the resting places of the other Biometals are activated and seek out Biomatches. Unfortunately they were scattered across the world as a safety measure. Each one had the misfortune of ending up in a different country, many of which are not by any means "friends" with each other, and worst of all six years ago the countries which contain Model X and Model Z were in a vicious war. As such the Megamen of this era will not be prone to cooperating with each other.

This is all I have so far, as you can see it is very unpolished.

I need to work on this one, well this and that "Shinji Ikari taking Geo/Subaru's place as the protagonist of the Starforce series" idea I posted on Spacebattles a few weeks ago in the Evangelion idea thread.

I also have several other Megaman ideas on the back burner I should really revisit.

I kinda want to do a Tales of Symphonia oneshot about Presea.

I have no idea what it would be about whatsoever. All I know is that I have the perfect title, a pun on the songtrack "The Law of the Battle" - "The Loli of the Battle"

So, since we did the Spark Shepard idea, has anyone considered what would happen if the Dragonborn of Skyrim was also a Spark? I mean the Empire could be executing him/her for crimes against humanity (they didn't mean for that expierement to go wrong...) and the Stormcloaks being beheaded at the same time was just convient. So the Dragonborn's powers are revealed and now they have a chance to atone for their past mistakes, while everyone (Stormcloaks and Empire) is VERY weary of them....I mean they are a Mad Scientist afterall even if they do mean well.

You mean the Zerg get eaten and assimilated by the X right? Because the X now have interstellar travel. Universe is doomed. Bad End.

Posting from phone so not much detail

Basically, start of Chrono Trigger, Marle and Crono and eventually Lucca go to 595AD instead of 600AD. Cyrus is still alive, Glenn not a frog and with self esteem issues. Marle gets taken in to be used as a double fir Leene, Crono and Lucca follow, after some hijinks the five become a team.

Lucca remembers history and there being a Mystic hidden base in the c
cathedral. Eventually the five raid the place. Magus takes notice and studies the mysterious three new people. Upon finding the time gate in the mountain he realizes they're time travelers. Eventually he speaks with them. Lucca tells him history says he disappeared and the Mystics army collapsed. He assumes Lavos killed him when he summoned it.

Go from there.

A little Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch idea:

Drippy, trapped as a doll, is floating around in an incorporeal form between the worlds due to Shadar's curse, but when he floated near a strange house close to Motorville, he is return to his normal corporeal form once more. He realizes that the aura of whoever owns the house broke the dark curse and thus he enters the house and meets a young man named Oliver.

Oliver is a very skilled wizard, who specialize in the magic of Hearts, and Drippy is convinced that he is the Pure-Hearted One and therefore destined to defeat the Dark Djinn Shadar. He manages to convince Oliver and the duo goes onto an adventure into the other world to stop Shadar.

Not many changes from the canon plot, the basic ones is that most characters are adults and Olivers knows almost all spells from the beginning. And he can create and restore pieces of hearts without a Locket, using his own secret magic.

Could you guys help me with one of my fics (Kingdom Hearts)?
The basic idea is that Sora doesn't end up in Traverse Town after Destiny Islands are attacked and somehow ends up on a road between light and darkness that is connected to most worlds. He then tries to find his friends Riku and Kairi and then the way home to Destiny Islands.
He will soon meet up with two Disney characters that will replace the roles of Donald and Goofy. Beast will replace Goofy as the physical fighter but I can't come up with a good replacement for Donald. The requirements are that the other must use magic and be from Disney but I cannot come up with anyone that would fit.
Do you guys have any suggestions of someone that could join the party of Sora and Beast?

I'd guess it would depend. If you want someone already experienced in magic, it might be a bit difficult as those who we know for sure can use it are either already in there, and/or are villans. The first to come to mind is Demona, but she's a villain. Maybe Eden, the female genie from the Aladdin animated series, but she may be a case of over powered. Experiment 610 (Witch) from the Stitch anime could also be in there,

If you want someone just learning magic, or who could become a magic user...Well, that could be a lot of characters. The Pines twins, Tiana, and a fair number of others.

Of course, you could also go into Disney properties, stuff like Winx or W.I.T.C.H. (The latter of which has World Hearts as canon, anyways)

Or someone from Final Fantasy, maybe someone like Eiko, Parom and/or Palom, Lulu, Montblanc, etc.

I'd suggest checking over This wikia page

Thank you for your help. Now I got a few options.
For now I'm considering Milo Thatch or Rafiki, but I'll see if anyone else fits the situation better when I have more time (that website is really slow :p).
 
So, seeing the picture that logics out that there was a war in Kanto just a bit before RBY and having Red's memetic badass status in my head led me to a concept. There actually was a war, and as a result, the political situation between the different regions is precarious. There's peace, based on the strength each region has, with the idea that the Gym Leaders, Elite 4, and Champions represent the greatest part of their fighting strength, with each having something else that holds the balance.

Kanto and Johto have always been in alliance, symbolized by their shared Elite 4 and Champion, an alliance the other regions don't dare challenge. Hoenn has the known and acknowledged superior strength of it's Gym Leaders and Elite 4, as well as the strength of both Steven and Wallace, each strong enough to be a Champion. Sinnoh has proven technological prowess, as well as Cynthia, known far and wide as the absolute strongest Champion. Unova has Alder's leadership, who has shown multiple times over the years to be a cunning and ruthless strategist, with a keen understanding of his opponents. And Kalos has Mega-Evolution. All of that, plus the stories each region has of Legendary Pokemon and, in Kalos's case, a legendary super weapon.

But then, someone comes along that threatens that balance. A strong trainer is one thing. Even that Blue/Green, the other regions had no problem, since Giovanni disappeared after Red defeated him, and the guy took over as a Gym Leader. But this Red character? He's just too much. The more experienced trainers can see it by watching, and the most talented can feel it in their bones seeing him battle: he hasn't yet scratched what he's capable of, and he is already strong enough to beat Champions. And as they keep an eye on him, they can tell. He's still getting much stronger. Add to that the information they've picked up, with a fair amount of evidence to support it, that he has possession of a Pokemon genetically engineered for battle, whose strength when running wild nearly reached the abilities of an Elite 4-trained Pokemon? Every region realizes: Red can't remain as a trainer of Kanto. Even without confirmation of Mewtwo, they consider him essentially a living super weapon.

Thus, the respective governments of the regions give him an ultimatum: give up Pokemon training completely, and go live on an island that's not a part of any region, where he'll be kept under observation for the rest of his life, or try and resist, and they'll take him by force and, if he survives, he'll be kept in a prison for the rest of his life. With those options on the table, Red makes a third choice.

Mt. Silver has always sat on the Kanto/Johto border, and been a point of contention. Neither region is willing to say the other can have it, but the native Pokemon are too strong for any real settling to be done. As a result, it has always just existed as one of the few areas in the world that is essentially free from the governance of the regions. So Red takes up residence there, establishing himself to the Pokemon as the alpha. By the time the regions figure out where he went, they realize it would take nothing less than a full League's resources to get through the wild Pokemon and bring Red down. More importantly, Red doesn't suffer League flunkies to be on his mountain after they tried to take his beloved Pokemon away from him. As a result, they come to the conclusion that it's just not worth it to try and do anything with Mt. Silver or its new king.

So, because of a previous war, a cold war, and the rampant paranoia plaguing the various regions, Red winds up as essentially the reigning lord of Mt. Silver and its immediate surroundings. Of course, as time goes on, the political climate calms down, and no one is quite so paranoid about the idea of Red being associated with one region in particular, but he doesn't forgive or forget so easily, and is quite content to stay on his mountain, waiting for strong opponents to make their way to him. As a result, he also occupies a completely unique position, politically and diplomatically speaking: Mt. Silver is the only entity which is recognized as a distinct and strong power, and has absolutely no ties to any of the major regions. In other words, a powerful and neutral party.

I'm not sure where a story would go with this, except if it went for a scenario where there was another war, but I wanted to get the thoughts out there for others' opinions.

What if you apply a concept of Japanese mythology to WH40K? Specifically, the Tsukumogami. This is basically the sentient spirit of an object that is used frequently for a century or more. Some of the relics used by the Astartes, especially legendary weapons and armor, have been in continuous usage since the Horus Heresy. That's more than enough time for that equipment to develop a soul of its own. Even if the concept of the Machine Spirit is an official part of Imperial Dogma, how are they going to react when their equipment starts talking to them?
 
Well, considering that the adeptus mechanicus could be considered their own organization and, as far as I recall, does have a sort of love/hate relationship with the Imperium, they could either go insane or start improving now that the machines are talking to them and could better work on their relationships.

The titans on the other hand are a different story. I always thought of them having massive god complexies and if THEY start talking...no idea what would happen.
