Story board section?

[Mouser X]

What would everyone's opinion be on a new section? I realize that most of the posts that would go in it would technically fit in the "general discussion" board, but I think that they should have something to themselves. However, that also depends on the popularity of such an idea.

Admittedly, would be similar to a fan-fic board. However, one major difference would be that, hopefully, it would be a more interactive story. Since it's a message board, people could add their own ideas into the story, or be characters in it, or something like that.

My personal proposition for the name of this "idea" board would be the Time Castle. I'm fairly certain most of you here wouldn't remember that section, as, when it was first made it was passworded, but the idea there was supposed to be a, sort of, interactive story.

For those unaware, the Time Castle is my main base of operations. As a time traveler, it also acts as a huge repository of information. It has in its databanks hundreds of thousands of years of history stored up. Another good reason for this idea to have that name.

Of course, I submit this idea to the message board as a whole, as it would be for the community. If anyone has any ideas, opinions, changes, questions, etc., please feel free to voice it. I liked the idea of having it in the past, and I think that it could be a good idea, if implemented well.

Thanks in advance for your consideration of this suggestion. Perhaps such a thing could even bring in more people. I hope to read your ideas, replies, suggestions, etc. soon. Mouser X over.

I thought that I could try to provide an "introduction" to my idea. Or at least something to let people know what's on my mind. First off, I'll try and introduce my main character, myself! (Big surprise...)

My description:
First off, I must provide information that is otherwise not widely known. I am human, though I wear a power suit. As such, most people who know me either think I'm a robot, mechanoid, or android. Especially since I've been around far longer than even the oldest humans. It is necessary for me to share this information with you as a reader, because the reader would know I was human. However, as a character (if you so choose) you would almost certainly be unaware of the fact that I am human. Of course, I could be any number of alien species as well as robotic, but, if you choose to participate, I'll let you choose how to interpret my presence, so long as human is not your first choice, though it can still be a high possability.

For my head, I have a helmet, with a mildly reflective one-way visor for my vision. Where my nose would be, is a somewhat rounded device with venting in it. From this, two "hoses" protrude, one from each side. These "hoses" extend along the side of the head, to behind the ears, then follows down the neck to the back. The ears are covered in a small cylindrical device. The one on my right side has an antenna sticking out of the top of it.

On my back, there is a rocket pack. Please note, it is a rocket pack, and not a jet pack, as a jet pack cannot operate outside of the atmosphere. As such, I am capable of flight, both on, and off planet. The "hoses" appear to be connected to the rocket pack, similar to the way the air hoses are connected to a scuba diver's air tank. That is mostly for looks, for those who are wondering. Also of note is the fact that the rocket pack is retracktable. That way, I can "put it away" if I need to, and leave my back bare, or I can put something else there.

As for a description for what the rest of my suit looks like, I'll have to cop-out and refer you to a borg unit from Star Trek. Think of that, and you're on the right track, just not as dark and sinister looking.

For my "arsenal" I have a wide variety of devices. Of course I have hand-held energy weapons, but they are rarely used, because they take up the use of my hands. On each arm I have a small gun that can fold out, similar to the ones used on the gargoyle mechanoids used in the old Disney cartoon "Gargoyles." For those unware, it sort of folds out of the arm, between the elbow and wrist. I also have two energy blades that are removeable, if I want them to be (meaning I can weild them in my hands, rather than from my wrists. I can also give them to someone, if the need arose). They extend, one for each arm, right near the wrist, similar to the "claws" that wolverine has.

I also have a device that has multiple uses. It extends from the wrist, similar to the energy blades. Its main use is sort of like a grappling hook, as it can attach to any surface. It is jointed, and at every joint there's a small motor so that this device can be used to reach around corners, and such. It can also be used as a computer access device, similar the the two cords that extend from a borg's writst when they access an enemy computer, or when they assimilate someone. Mine sort of resembles that as well, except that mine is thicker, and there's only one, instead of 2. The motors at each joint aren't very strong, so it can't hold heavy objects into the air by its own strength. However, its pulling capacity is very very strong. So much so that if I was to attach the one on my left arm to a star ship, and the right one to a planet, the question would be wether or not the starship could move the planet, as my cord device wouldn't be the weak point.

Of course, I can also use the arm itself as an energy cannon, similar to Megaman's arm mounted weapon. This is the most powerful weapon I have on hand (no pun intended), but I can generate many more very quickly, and if all else fails, I can call my warships in for backup, but I try to avoid that. (If your curious, feel free to ask about the warships later)

Those are the main points to be aware of about myself. As I said, I have quite a large arsenal, but those devices are the ones I'd be using the most.

I'll let you chew on that for awhile, as I need to get going. Other things I'd like to bring up are my history, and area settings (the Time Castle is a big one. There's also the possability of the Galactic gate, similar to a Stargate (think of Stargate SG-1, only much much much bigger (a red giant star can fit through it). And it has time travel abilities, and it doesn't need to connect to another gate. Simply specify where you want to go to, and it opens a portal to that location.)).

Anyway, there's some ideas for people to look at. I need to get going, so Mouser X over.

It would seem that this idea isn't to popular. That's to bad... On the other hand, someone told me that if you put your stuff up on a public page, then it is considered "first publication." As such, publishing companies don't like to deal with such things for rights purposes, or something.

Personally, I think it sounds kind of stupid, but I wouldn't put it past the idiots in charge of buisness these days... So, in some ways, it might be considered a good thing that people didn't like the idea...

Of course, if I recieve a different response, we could setup a password only place, and that way it's not public, and not considered "first publishing." Of course, for that to work, there would have to be a way for people to get the password, that wouldn't be to hard. Probably PMing the moderator of the boards, or something like that.

Anyway, have a good day. Mouser X over.
