The only authors will be members of the UCS until further notice.Current authors are myself, Rahsilon (Facade), and Soran.Each author is also a PGS.We need at least 8 PGS's, to fulfill the prophecy.but by all means, we will take more.Now, unlike Rift, there is already a standard general plot, so we can jump right in.Current rotation is as follows:Me (Rahsilon/Facade)SoranAxilus PrimeLerakuTerra NuvaReznasIt's largely a quest/destiny based story.

Soran Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Looks good so far. Graphics are pretty good although they could be better. It almost seems like Facade or "Rahsilon" is floating on top of the background. This can easily be fixed by adding something to help 'anchor' the character with the background. A shadow or making the character's feet sink a little in the snow are some specific ways to help it. Another thing that I think you should try to do is use more poses with the character. It just looks really odd how he uses the same walking pose for the first and second panel, the only difference is just where its positioned. Regardless of those minor details I think it looks great visually although there are some things I think you should try to improve on in the future.I can't really take the dialogue seriously though. It just seems a little random, jumping from one thing to another. Perhaps adding at least a little more information about Rahsilon might help, whether its some more basic information, something about his past, etc. Also I feel as though the dialogue in the comic was spread out from panel to panel to make the comic seem longer. I think that a lot of the text could've easily fit in a lot less panels then currently used. I did like the little thing you added at the end, whether its a shadow of a person, or something else. Really is a quite nice little detail that many might miss. It seems like whatever it is might play some role in the story which I think is a really nice touch. I'm excited to see more.~Soran(PS: You misspelt Exile in the 'prophecy') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Thanks, I was a bit rushed, so I plan on touching up a bit later, probably with the snow covering his feet partially. And darn, I did, didn't I? I purposefully spaced the speaking, because it shows he's speaking calmly, taking his time to speak. And sure, more info will be in the next one, I just felt like making him enigmatic. And I'm glad you noticed that little tidbit in the last panel, it's the you-know-what I mentioned to you! Anyway, it's Sorans turn now, to introduce himself, in whatever way that makes sense.Just pm the comic when your done.Ps: say hi to our third author everyone, Reznas! Also, no one meets up until chapter 2. Edited September 10, 2012 by Facade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybre Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 A prophecy. This is good stuff.But is it really a good idea to sit in the snow? Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Thnk of a myself (Rahsilon) as a Shaolin monk. Meditation, thinking, martial arts, poetry, pall parts of the personality. So, that includes endurance and the ability to embrace pain. Plus, being a hailing from the north helps. Matoran of the City of Ice helps.So, most of the UCS is caught up and prepping their kits everyone. So, heres some info:Authors, there will be a rotation, please refrain from comic making (other then intro, and make it multiple panels, stating name, and which part of the prophecy, preferably) until the rotation is complete.Second, Leraku is an exception to the RZ kit. He is amazingly good with Chimoru, so he will be using that if he wishes to take part. More info will be posted later, once I get confirmed authors I'll put the rotation and guidelines.

Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) All comics will be RZAlso PGSing will be made available NEXT Sunday.Few exceptions, I'll tell you guys when I think of them.Second, here are some guidelines that I'm working on, followed by the current (will likely change with more authors).Try to stay active during the series, if you can't work on the series tell Me (Rahsilon/Facade) about the situation and why you wish to resign so that there is no time wasted.Try not to make any plot twists, try to make the comics make sense with each other. This also includes not making any comics ahead of time that might make an initial impact on the story. So that means talk to be BEFORE you start your comic when its your rotation.Try to make the comics by the deadline. The only excuse to not making it by the deadline is if there are any family issues, massive workload (includes homework), important update for a personal comic series, etc.If there is a large comic you are creating which might not make it by the deadline, you may make a PSA or random comic that doesn't have anything to deal with the storyline (It can still use the same characters).Don't be afraid to give spoilers about the story to fellow authors, it is a GROUP project. If there is something you are not sure will work try you can ask other authors.If introducing another character/major accessory/often used background, make sure to supply other authors with it.Also, if you feel you don't have enough time for a comic you can asked to be skipped.You will have 10 days since rotating to finish a comic. You get 3 pardons, which means you get three times to take longer then regular amount, if that happens, tell me so that I can make a filler or info comic (those will be explained soon) to keep the brutal mob fans occupied.Current rotation is as follows:Me (Rahsilon/Facade)SoranTNG PrimeBoromir (Haley)LerakuTerra NuvaReznas Edited September 11, 2012 by Facade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soran Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 SoranAnd here is the second installment of Age of Destiny. This comic introduces my character Soran and a whole bunch of other things such as my attempt to reference my plan for World Domination in almost every comic series I participate in. Its a short comic, I apologize for that, I had trouble with some things. Either way I hope you enjoy the comic.~Soran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hey, I liked it. Different take then the stereotypical break the 4th wall intro.Update: We have two prophecy spots left, theif, and priest. The priest is the equvialant to turaga, which I'll explain some more (such as the mage) later.Two PGS's spots are open until further notice.EDIT: I believe Soran is no longer the exile, he has a new role that we collabed on. So now thats 3 PGS spots (unless I'm wrong?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Quick announcement everyone. Boromir (Haley) had to resign, therefore I will be making a comic tomorrow, then it will go to whoever was meant to follow her on the rotation. We've all been busy lately, but hopefully were all getting uses to the flow of school and life again, so expect things to pick up the pace!

Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Ooh look, a silent comic!Working on making more somber, silent comics for the majority of Rahsilon's introductionary comics.Anyway, next up on the rotation is Terra Nuva.Yes, Ler is one there before, but he made that lovely little teaser, and the way things are planned, I'll be making another comic as leeway for Ler to make his great debut.

Axilus Prime Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 What's the rotation order?That is very suspenseful though. Is that an infected villain character or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra Nuva Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Alrighty, so it's my turn to make a comic. I would like to say a few things first so, if you are allergic to text, skip to the link (it's full of text too).I am really happy that Facade came up with this idea because, I really love it. I am glad to have such talented members in the UCS to work together. So I just would liek to say thanks for taking up my remaining free time being cool...ExileYou may remember a familiar name from my comic series, if you read it. This is a different universe, so it is a completely different character.Also, he was thinking this entire comic, so he does not speak a word. This character is very silent, and rarely talks.

Axilus Prime Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Oh wow, he's very different from your main comic incarnation. (Then again TNG in this series has no idea what a pie is.) Still calls himself mighty, though. All I can say is I want to see where this goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 One thing I want with this series is for new personalities (for the most part). I'm hoping that a majority of the authors dont make everyone super good at fighting, because honestly, the only people who have a good reason at being great fighters are myself, Ler, and TNG. Anyway, I like the style (since its what I used pretty much )Anyway, next up is Reznas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 By the way, reading the order of the comics already posted, and the order with Facade making extra comics to allow others extra time, I am thoroughly confused.Can anyone tell me the actual rotation order under normal circumstances so I don't feel like a half-drunk, half-crazy pirate with awkwardly flailing hand gestures, odd expressions, and an obsession with wearing a hat and being addressed as Captain?

Control_Vee Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) You know, since not even I really know the order yet - it's sort of just been 'said out' whenever it's someone's turn - I kind of thought I'd stick another little teaser here. It's not officially a comic, but it's just more anticipation.MeanwhileA mental battle continuesCHAOS: WHY WOULD WE STAY HERE?! WE COULD JUST ESCAPE. ESCAPE, AND DESTROY.LOGIC: That is simple. We are here to prevent ourselves from doing that. We are not dead, but for only the purpose that someone might need us someday.CHAOS: NO ONE NEEDS US! WE ARE HERE FOR OUR PURPOSE. OUR PURPOSE IS TO DESTROY!CHAOS: AND IMAGINE! JUST WATCHING. SITTING AND WATCHING! WATCHING THE WORLD BURN!CHAOS: A GRIM DISPLAY OF DESTRUCTION!LOGIC: We may not be needed now. But we will be needed in time! And neither of us are in full control. We are here in a balance. A balance for our life, and for the lives of others.LOGIC: And we are not going to cause such pointless destruction! What is the point of killing everything in our sight?CHAOS: WHAT IS THE POINT OF NOT KILLING EVERYTHING?!CHAOS: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHACHAOS: JUST WATCHING EVERYTHING BURN. ALL OF IT!CHAOS: RAVAGED!CHAOS: IN A SEA OF FIRE!LOGIC: We will do no such thing!LOGIC: You may be an embodiment of sheer chaos - But I am an embodiment of control.LOGIC: We are at a standstill to my advantage. Neither of us can do anything to the other.LOGIC: And I would not have it any other way.CHAOS: IF IT WAS MY WAY-LOGIC: And it's not.CHAOS: SILENCE! IF IT WAS MY WAY, I WOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER THIS IMBECILE! HE WOULD BE A PAWN IN AN ENDLESS DOOMSDAY! AND IT WOULD BE PERFECT. A PERFECT, CHAOTIC WORLD.CHAOS: ENGULFED IN A BLAZE OF MASSIVE PROPORTIONS.LOGIC: And it will never be so, so long as we are here.LOGIC: Our purpose is no one's to control but ours. We were created, and placed here. We are here merely as secondaries to an absolution, a balance that we dwell in. It is not of our choosing what will happen...LOGIC: ...But it will not be sheer chaos that will succeed.CHAOS: HAHAHAHAAAACHAOS: HAAAAA!!!CHAOS: HEHAAAAAAAA!CHAOS: THIS WORLD WILL BURN BY MY HAND, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY.

I know you use abbreviations for these lines, but I would think you'd spell out the full names first.Leraku is not exactly seperate personalities - those are simply embodiments of his 'red' and 'blue' sides - Chaos and Logic respectively. I believe I mentioned it before, but, oh well. I'll add the full to their names. For instance, Chaos is - well, an embodiment of destructive chaos. Logic is very calm, collected, and, indeed, logical. Leraku himself chooses which to use more depending on the situation - by default, he is neutral in between. As he is technically sealed away and in stasis at this point, his personality is not in the 'argument' going on, so his two other sides are there instead. When he awakens, he might have a burst of each, but he will soon come back to himself. Edited September 29, 2012 by Leraku Quote Sisen said:Let's focus on Snail! Snail is the bombdiggity.

Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) No response from Soran yet, so if he doesn't respond by Tuesday then the next person on the list will make a comic ahead of their designated time.Next author is TNG, so, if you want to start now its okay, just make sure not to include anyone else yet. And don't post it till an approved time.EDIT: Soran will most likely have to pass. TNG, you'll take his place if he can't get it in. Also, his character is available for open use by anyone, so TNG, I'd recommend having you meet him in your next comic if he passes. If not, he will most likely meet you if he makes his.

Axilus Prime Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) I accept this job, then. But I will need my intro comic retconned and I will make a replacement. The origin is convoluted, the name being an acronym that doesn't even suit the character is stupid, and I used the wrong kit by mistake. Therefore, just change my name to Axilus Prime, and remove the intro comic. (But put a placeholder there until I turn out the new intro comic.)After that, I will make the comic where I meet Soran. Where's his sheet?EDIT: New Axilus Prime sheet is ready. Any authors who need it can just PM me.
