Ultimus' Favor...

[Shenzon]

I have a idea to speculate about. When Dreadnought asked Ultimus to watch over Fiona and the ladies at his house while he took care of a few things, Ultimus asked him for a favor that he can call upon whenever he chooses. Any speculations on what that might be?

[guyverfanatic]

To use the Matrix to upgrade the giant upgrade into a gigantic cocoon!

[Shenzon]

Lol...my first guess too. Any others? I don't think Warrior Guyver C nows their's a defect within the Giant Unit yet. If not that favor, maybe ask Jason to make it so no one can take it from him like he took it from the human hosts.

[Guyver_Astray]

A good question here. It could be a number of things. It may be something he wishes to bring up after everything is said and done. Or like you said, to upgrade the unit.

[Juggernought]

Could be several things. He could ask Jason to deactivate his unit so that he could live a normal life with his girlfriend once the war is over...Since he still technically operates for the government he could call in a favor with jason that only jason with his power and abilities could do in order to make the mission a success..

[exscaped_pyscho]

Getting a guyver unit for his girlfriend so they can live forever together. Just a thought.

[Juggernought]

doubtful....many of the current guyvers don't want to be and don't enjoy being bonded to a unit. They only tolerate it because that kind of power is currently needed. Given the chance the majority of them will request to have them removed. The only people that actually enjoys being a guyver is Sean Baker, Agito(power), and i believe it was stated Jason was starting to enjoy some of the positive aspects of being bonded to a unit.

[Guyver_Astray]

I enjoy power, so if I had a G-unit, I wouldn't want it removed. But I could see him perhaps asking for the unit to be removed so he could have a normal life.

[Spartan Warlord]

Given that the greatest current threat to earth right now is gobal warming it wouldnt be a problem being a guyver, but in the WGU id say that a totally different ball game...

[Matt Bellamy]

Gah... sorry everybody, been really busy with work, moving, preparing for Otakon, and going to Otakon ( still here actually).

I'm pretty much at the point where I am about to reveal what was going to happen in the future... as honestly, especially after having a table in this years artist alley, I want to focus on my art a bit more... and I don't know if I will ever write for the fic again. It's been a long time coming I suppose.

I'll have to confer with James about things before I do anything, so that I don't spoil things that aren't mine to spoil...

[Juggernought]

My heart just skipped 2 beats in reading that message.....can't wait!!

i know all about being busy man, i was suppose to get a few of my fanfics done and uploaded with new pics but since gettin a new flight job ma ass has been working too much...life after college, definitely not a breeze.

[McAvoy]

I suspected as much. It has been a long time coming I think. The big question is: will someone take over the reigns or leave it where it is?

[Spartan Warlord]

id love to see some one take over and continue (worst case senerio) but i feel it wouldnt be the same, but then again any fanfic is a good fanfic in my eyes and id like to see ole dreddy kickin ass forever... :

[exscaped_pyscho]

I've feared this for sometime. I just hope that all the writers don't follow suite and allow the site to fade into the night. I would very much appreciate it, if the fan fics must end, if the writer's would honor their creations with a final big battle. And if it must end soon a huge battle is already underway that could easily prove to be the fic ender. All I'm asking is one more story to tie everything up. Even if some story elements don't get resolved I think it would be a really good way to end the fan fictions. Because, face it, if the original writers leave, it's more than likely the stories will end with their departure. Although it might be possible for some kind of rebirth of the guyver fan fiction to take place after the final battle has come and gone. But even if all the writers were to quite and someone else would come forward to replace them, I would hope that the writers could find the time (even if it were another year or so) to go out the way their characters would, if given the opurtunity. This could also allow the new writer a cleaner slate for a restart.

[Matt Bellamy]

Well, here's the thing. This fan fiction required the team members to have regular group chat sessions to keep things running.

Brian - Once again missing in action. He swore he was going to come back and work on the fic some more... but that lasted like all of a week.

James - Only really active member... but was never a main fic writer. He could continue Brians works pretty easily as he had heavy influence over the years.

Andre - Sometimes pops online but real life and family has claimed him.

Allen - Offline once again after a brief period of being active.

Mike - I assume real life has claimed him as well.

Myself - My interest has been waining for years as Guyver has dragged on with nothing new, and the fic starting to go in directions I was starting to become less comfortable with. The 2005 series was great, but it made me realize how far we've gotten from the original content. The newer manga chapters have kinda turned for the worst too... I still love Guyver, but I don't love Warrior Guyver the way I used to.

I actually wrote a rant on this on my Deviant Art page which i will repost here for those who don't visit it.

But, the entire staff of the site has fallen apart. The only person I still talk to online is James, and due to our schedules, is not that often.

As for handing off the stories to someone else... I totally refuse to do that for mine. I mean, it wouldn't be like someone using a Warrior unit in their own fic, it be using my characters, who only I know exactly how they would react in certain situations. And honestly, due to poor writing in the past, some aren't as fully fleshed out as they should have been by now ( when I do the summery, these will be included).

I'll try to get it out this weekend, but no promises... stuff seems to have piled up while i was away, and I've got a lot to worry about here.

And now for the rant:

I just had some random person on MSN contact me about Guyver.

Now, I love Guyver, don't get me wrong. I love to have good discussions about Guyver, or answer peoples questions that they may have.

But the reason they contacted me, was to tell me about their new Guyver they created, which in turn happened to be a mish-mash of wg.com fanfiction stuff, cobbled together into something that doesn't make much sense at all.

And it really occurred to me that, we at WarriorGuyver.com, have RUINED Guyver fan creations.

Our distortion of power, making more and more powerful beings. Making up/evolving technology to make said beings even more powerful... the list goes on. In retrospect, over the years as we created this stuff, everything sounded real good. A lot of things we tried to base on real theories ( we even nailed the fact that the orb at their waste is the main producer of energy via a link to hyperspace, when that wasn't translated for years to come).

But now, almost everyone tries to use our created technology for their custom/fanfic ideas, instead of using the actual Manga or Anime as a basis. And I wish it would just stop, because they are getting more and more overboard, and it's seeming that they want to have their Guyver in our Universe... but be more powerful than anything we have.

It's like a DragonBall Z power fight. We create something more powerful, now everyone else decides that they have to top it.

Sure, it probably says a lot about our former and current popularity... which is actually pretty staggering. And really... fanfic writers have always been exaggerating things in custom character for decades...

But it kinda makes me wonder if this is how Yoshiki Takaya feels about our site, and what we have done to Guyver fandom. And honestly, I would apologize to him if I had the chance.

[*zeo]

Yoshiki Takaya created the Exceed, I don't think he would really disapprove with how we have treated the characters and their abilities.

But consistency, accuracy, realism, and better following of the original is the reasons involved with the Chronicles re-write.

[largo]

Well this sucks big time.

[Shenzon]

But consistency, accuracy, realism, and better following of the original is the reasons involved with the Chronicles re-write.

With that said Zeo1234, does that mean the rewrite is in the works, or on hold?

[WarriorZoalord]

as far as i know, James is the one doing the re-write, we've seen a preview of the next part, so we just need to wait for him to have the time to finish it.

[Matt Bellamy]

James is actually not the one handling the Chronicles story. He role in it has been the same as his role in all our fics ( though "Editor" doesn't really do what he does justice)

Chronicles is writen by Micheal Cox.

Which I note was in my list of people, and has been absent for quite a while too.

[Juggernought]

I personally think that the warrior guyver concept and all the other characters in a way help to enhance people's perspective and imagination on guyvers as a whole. If you look at any hero or villain in anime or otherwise there is always more powerful ppl being created and characters always evolve to either match or overcome. But even with more power there is always checks and balances so that these new things would still be able to carry out a fight without becoming all overpowering.

The main reason i love this site so much still after all these years is that i can still come here sit down and read a story i've already read at least 5 times and still enjoy it. The pictures and datafiles all add to the fantasy and in for awhile the guyver does become real through these stories. Hopefully at some point, people who are extremely gifted in story creation and pencil work will also fall in love with guyver and help out the main persons who have contributed so much already. i think that is what's needed. And this has been said before, the more people who are involved(quality) the more dynamic the site becomes and the more ideas that are implemented more people will retain interest and the site will continue to grow.

[Aranor]

While what you say may be true we are already at the level in which a being us using a planet as a space ship....How much more could these being evolve? I think what the site really need is fresh stories with fresh characters starting again at the basics. And eventually when the writers decide to finish their tales they will be done.

[Bobby Demosthenis]

Regardless of what you've said Matt, there has been alot of work put into warriorguyver.com and I am loath to see it die, regardless if the original founders are not active, or no longer interested in maintaining it. The WG Fanfic has had alot of work put into it, and not just the fics, but the pictures. This forum is a testimony as to how popular this site is. I confess, I haven't read all the fics yet, but I am planning to do, but thats because I don't want them to end! I love this website, and I have just watched the new series of Guyver, the 2005 editions and it showed me how valuable this website is. I am willing to anything and everything to make this website active and wholesome again.

Matt, I did message you on msn but I don't think you got it, or you've blocked me () or you don't use that one anymore. My e-mail is bpdcomputers @ gmail . com (I put spaces in so spam bots can't get me).

But as I said, from what I've read in this thread alone, I can see people don't want to lose WarriorGuyver.com!

Bobby

[Sully]

I'm not, nor never going to delete WG.com

But much like Matt I do wonder how Takaya would view the fiction. But in the end, I didn't write it for him, I did it for fun and to give something that was mine to play with in the Guyver fiction. Met some great people through this site but in the end it is something I've very little time for these days (I started this site a LONG time ago and moved house for example some 10 times since then).

In the end I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to complete the story. And in the end would simply aggree with James if he choice someone to work with.

As for the site itself, it remains something I still have great fun reading whenever I get the time to do so. :

Are you perhaps talking about the final ultimus that you had drawed( which by the way is on my deviantart favorites)and its not the first time DBZ power level were mentend ofcourse the reson why it can was different since someone in a chat was comparing Anubis and the ultimate w'kar (taking about Ultimate W'kar Vs Anubis post of the guyver board which is now part of japanlegend) to goku
