Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
Faye, along with Zeugam, Kron and Seraph will all get a lot more story before the time of All Things Change is done between now and then. Included in this would be Elera who's story starts off in the Revenge story line (which is primarily a Chronos story, ending with Kron's reawakening in modren times). Faye's character story might also get some more work, though I like the overall pace of that story so don't want it to be anything more than what it is, a short story based on Faye. Most of this development though won't be in Rescue at all, that will be an ACTF v Grakken story only. So overall the plan is working out nicely.

Union of the Guyvers
I've started this rewrite.... So lets put it simply, the start of this story is poor and if you've read the English translated comics and go to this story you think the following: "Did those guys really follow the Guyver story at all????" Now we know historically why, and ye all who visit this site since 1999 know why... We didn't know any better! Sooo the rewrite will fix this. I'm not at the privew stage yet, but put simply this story is now properly based 2 years after the Dragon Lord event. Meaning hte USA has being under Chronos control for 5 odd years. Chronos has had many set backs and it's leadership has being kicked in the ass by Gigantic Guyver and Guyver 3.... The new part of Union will go into the detail of this,to show where the Fan-fiction and key events are and have changed Takaya's story so you get from the Dragon Lord event, too Time War. Note there "Key Events" I am going to leave some things very vauge.... I'm not going to go on about Guyver II F for example or Guyot. Union will have an Aprentice Zoalord as the main bad guy of the story, this will be the main focus for Chronos's part of the story (which wasn't there at all really in the old verion of the story). After rereading the story... all the crap about Guyver US being a bad figther are going to be removed. Sooo in closing, I will say one thing, this story used to be 14K words... I see this being a much longer story when I'm done with the rewrite.

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
Thanks Paul, This is why I wanted to do the rewrite. In the later stories there is a lot of character development, but it wasn't a consideration at all in my first 4 stories really. it's why 7 days was so hard too do... it reached a point where I had to do more explaining than writing as the old fic's didn't support it like they should. Zygote Guyver is a good example, her characer is really fleshed out in the Assassin story but her use in All Things Change is poor. it doesn't really support it, this time it will.

WG.com planned weekend changes (9-10 and 16-17)
The above is the plan for the WG-fic section of the site. As well as that I plan to do some tidy up to the structure of WG.com design itself. If you've any weblinks that are Guyver related please let me know for them to be updated. As well as WG.com the Guyver messageboard will be getting some work, no this isn't new work yet but more so on the code behind the board so that we get some any spam bot features. After the next two wekends I hope to re-open the board to new people. Admins will no longer be activating user accounts, this "should" be doable by new joiners themself. But they will be only allowed post in a new spam section of the site. Once someone posts there and shows they are not a bot then they'll be allowed post in the main sections of the site. Note this will mean that if a bot joins the site the above section can at times be filled with vigra adds etc... SO beware, admins and mods won't always get before you do.

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
Time War is pretty much finished. Over this weekend and most likely also the next I'll be working on website re-design. This will be the first of many as I bring the site up to date.... So lets see what to expect on the next update. WF-Fic site This section of WG.com will be redesigned completely. Fan-fiction and art will no longer be organised by who wrote / drew it but the series it is based on. The fiction will be devided into 2 sections. 1. Chronicles of the Warrior Guyver 2. Collective Guyver Chronicles (at the moment this is the name I'm toying with for the other fan-fiction stories) Inside this the following fan-fictions will be found: 1. Assassin Guyver 2. Cyber Guyver 3. Flight of an Angel 4. Guyver XT 5. Nova Guyver 6. Warrior Guyver 7. Warrior GuyverC 8. W'Kar 9. Character Stories (Currently only me (Brian) has stories in that) This list will be shortened and characterswho have wrote 2 or less stories will be moved into the Character Stories section. Looking at that list with the next update that would mean.... 1. Flight of an Angel 2. Nova Guyver 3. Warrior Guyver 4. Warrior GuyverC 5. Character stories (But no longer just stories by me) Each of the 5 sections will have art work in it for that section that reflects the characters within it. Over time that means new art, in the mean time depends on what I find this and next weekend. I'm sure Allen for example when he gets an urge of writing will do more W'Kar stories and that will be number 5 then. But I'll not be over doing this section, Assassin Guyver for example will not be getting her own section and will stay in the character stories even if the number goes over 2 stories. Guyver XT depends on Mike's return and wanting to have his character getting his own section. I've yet to decide how art will be devided up. But again it'll not be down too who done what. Data files section will be cleaned up... this is where a LOT of work needs to be done, but mainly my focus will be on the "Creators" secton will be renamed Gen and data files corrected for Time War and new versions uploaded for Warrior Guyver and Gigantic Guyver. There will be some other new stuff too. For the time being the Calendar will be removed. After the rewrites are done though it should make a return. Overall the redesign will follow the 3 click rule.... Basically from the front page it should only take you 3 clicks to find something interesting and what you want within the site.

Syn vs Bio-Titan
Not exactly... A Guyver now efectively has 3 stages and basically power levels. 1x the normal Guyver. 10x the Gigantic Guyver (in the past the fan-fiction put this at 2x which is where the power levels later on seem stupidly extreame - the rewrite will correct this). 20/25x the Gigantic Exceed. So if I say Gigantic in power level I basically mean 10x. There are some things to consider here. Krullnar doesn't stick to hard to the rules like his father. The GPZ is more powerful than he should be. He is there to kill the other test Units and push them to the limits. Guyver Zerabubuse was like him, but has already being killed by Dreadnought. WGV doesn't have a 50% boost. In Zoanoid from apart from his pods he is basically no stronger than a Gigantic Guyver. What gives him his real firepower is what makes him a bioloaster Zoanoid, the pods. They basically work like mega-smashers, that have a much higher recharge rate compared to a normal Warrior Guyver. Apart from that though he's not go much over even a human Warrior Guyver. Warrior Guyver Thancrus should be different in that he's got a Type 2 unit and zoanoid vibrational blades. He gets the close combat benifits of being a WG. Together thats where they are going to cause havok in the future.

Syn vs Bio-Titan
Not exactly. Both the Shadow Guyver and Battle Guyver units are modren Gen Tech. As such the max they would go to would be about equal to a Gigantic Guyver in raw power. Doesn't matter how powerful the host is the Limiation device is in both of these units. The only way to break that limit would be to have an already very powerful host, E.G. Alkanphel / Zeugma. But the main thing they would get from these Units then would be regeneration. The fight though would still be cool. I'd imagine Andre would sooner or later have a Syn v Bio-Titan fight....

Life After War
Where is this!?! Read the bit closely when Guyver Zoalord goes on the rampage.

Life After War
I wouldn't go as far as saying "Future allies" with humanity as a while being there fighting alongside the Kavzar. That would simply not be a possibility in the story as it is. Humanity even to the Gen while they protect humnaity is still like how humanity would use chimps in research.. You might view that as harsh but it's about as close as you can get to how they would view us (in fact all biological creatues, remember when you see them first in Time War they are energy based). The Gen though aren't simple killers though all in the name of science, they do make attachments and do have feelings and are effected by their human bodies. They are not sheep either and make their own choices, in Time War it is shown why the Nova Guyvers were able to enter the relic without a Guyver armour. It was because a Gen is their great ancestor.

Okay important question.
No problem. Well thats the hard thing about Guyver, it is being around for ages. But again Takaya shows us something new every so often (even though a lot of you guys doesn't like it all the time... Exceed ). Real life, old age etc is what has combined for me to feel the re-write must happen. I look back at what I wrote and what I know now and think... Umm that doesn't work! But real life also means I don't get as much time to do all the things I want to do. But saying that... I've less time the last few years to work on the site, but I haven't released constant storys like I'm doing now in a long time. one thing stopping the forum is that I've disabled the ability of new people to join. Thanks to SPAM bots.... When I get the current rewrite done I'll be investing a lot of time to updating the board so that it has anti-spam and the ability for people to activate their own accounts. That along with a new site update should help things along nicely. At the moment though I simply wouldn't want "new blood" to find the site the way it is at the moment, with only one story about completed in the re-write it's not in a great state for new people to find the story. As for new blood to take over some of the writing, again I wouldn't want that to happen until the re-write is finished. The new site structure is a lot more friendly to it though so yes it will be allowed to happen in the future, though only if the story's wrote are good and match up with the existing stories.

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
Possibly yes. I've finished doing 1 of 4 section of story I wanted to add this morning. the most complex to write will be the Guyver 0 one as it will have to meet up with what Matt wrote about Guyver 0 in his first story. Another section will be very short but again important and last but not least will be from the Gen side of the end of Time War. Overall I'm very happy the way the plan is working out.

Life After War
I'm looking at option 4 as it's the most interesting.... not going to say it will never happen but still what would happen if it did??? Simply put it would depend on the HOW it happened and which side did it. Dreadnought's ownly major weekness (as shown in 7 days) is that he cares for others and will do everything in his power to help them. Even giving Fiona the Dreadnought armour to help her in her battle with the Elminator. You take away all that and you will have war. Jason, the focused no family alive and looking for revenge Jason simply put is beyond driven. He won't stop on his quest for revenge until it is completed. But here is the thing. Lets say it was the Grakken who destroyed Earth, after getting his revenge Jason has destroyed them. What then? Would he find a home with the Gen? Read Time War closesly is all I'll say, even the 4 parts already show just how close humanity and Gen are.

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
More writing done last night... he's dead! Guyver Zoalord is dead! Ok joking aside I'm now is addition mode and tidying up the story by adding in parts needed to link up Part 5 correctly with 1 to 3.

Okay important question.
Everything happens in cycles. But as I've learned over the years of running this site it's best just to run with it when things are working and make the most of it. Mike will be back and will be continuing the Cronicles story line. Just I wouldn't be expecting that to be any time soon. RL claims all at times, I'm actually arranging to move house (I'm buying one for the first time). The only reason it's not impacting me so much is I do most of my writing on the train to and from work. That hasn't changed (my little trusty netbook is the best buy I ever did for the site!) but I hope to get the big site update done before then. James is around somewhere lurking don't worry! And Matt (as he said) is focused on what drives him at the moment which is art. Sooner or later though he'll not admit it that will drive him to write something... IF he can ever get his ass away from games!

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
Ok back to updating you guys. I'm at the part of the final bit of the fight betweeen Guyver Zoalord and Warrior Guyver (and the Gen army and Guyvers). Things have happened differently than before in the sense what was built up in parts 1 to 3 have relevence here. Now once that is done as I've said before, there's still a decent bit of story to add to sort out what was said and done in parts 1 to 3. Now I don't plan for those parts to be especially long but nor do I plan for them to be a simple five liner. With this update coming to redesign the WG-Fic site and get it along the way too. Included in this will be the updated Warrior Guyver data file and the Gigantic Guyver along with a much needed update of the art section (basically including the new stuff published on the site). I will also be going through some of my old fics and while not updating them, any that has that white text will be reformatted to help those like myself that end up bleary eyed after reading them! The new site design will simply say before going into the story if it has being rewrote or not. There will be character profiles going up OUTSIDE the date files section, the obvous first one will be Jason. With each rewrite completed (and future story completed) I will be building up this section. Note character profiles will not be about powers, it will simply be about the character and will include people like Dr Drake, General Carter etc as well, and in time (probably after the All Things Change rewrite) the ACTF Leadershp and Chronos Leadership as well.

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
Ahh I thought you where on about the standard Warrior Kavzar, in W'Kar's story he's dealing with Lar'Cass, who would be dreaming up ways of doing things differently to Solom's vision that had stagnated (in Lar'Cass's view) by modren times. Simply put what Lar'Cass said wouldn't be the standard but more the way he sees it.

the Rewrite/update plan for the next while.
The problem is Rescue. The story as it is doesn't work and does not focus on the actual "Rescue" near enough. So basically once you cut everything out of the story just leaving Guyver US, Warrior Guyver and maybe also Warrior Guyver 2 filling in the gap from the Rapier Guyver (who's not going to be in the wrote story) that just leaves the Grakken. They need this story to properly intruduce them (namely the Sect) into the fan-fiction. 7 Days part 7 did a lot, but story wise the build up from Union, Time War and Revenge with their story line leads to Resuce. The impact on that to All Things change is two fold. 1, events that take place in Resuce to with Chronos, XT9 and Zygote Guyver all need to flow into the first 2 parts of All Things Change. That will not flow natually so more will need to be added to the story to make it work. Next the Grakken story only really begins to hit All things Change at the point the Merc's show up (as you guys know their story will happen very differently to before too so again that's a lot of work). You don't realise it yet, but will as the rewrite hits it, but All Things Change needs a lot of work. A lot of Merc characters were simply ignored and need development. They have to get a least starting development in this story as 7 Days doesn't feature them at and the next 2 are set in other Universes. They will mostly be in the same part of the story. Next you have Zygote Guyver, her story is setup nicely in the Assasin Guyver and then 7 days. But her intoduction will be a little different than before but she still will attack Warrior Guyver in the early parts of All things Change. Battle Guyver, doesn't happen until the end of All Things Change, so Cori's story needs to be handled differently. Zeugma's introdction in part 4 sucks. So basically will happen differently to before and will have more focus on her being out of time. ACTF won't come involved in her story right away either giving her time to develop. The events leading up to Dreadnought's return need to go differently too. Basically timing wise the story of the Lorcan / Jason "Warrior Guyver" will conclude without "real" Jason being involved. Kron is the major villian in the first 3 parts of the story as before, but a lot of what he does to the leadership of Chronos this time isn't from him but by Alkanphel himself so when the other leaders of Chronos return their organisation is ready. Zeus will be Kron's natual enemy in the story, so Agito's story in All things Change is more on the lines of the main hero for much of the story (in his own dark way that is). Basically when you take all that above in account All things change does a lot, but the re-write really hits home in this story like it does in Time War. But what I've planned will work very nicely.

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
It's not really an upgrade module. The Aceaer is the armour that makes a Kavzar. But it is bonded by a Gen device to the host. Once it's bonded they are bonded for life. So rather than saying upgraded it would be more a merging. Time to also give an update on how things are going. I'm working this week in Cork, which is the other side of Irealdn from where I do normally. So simply put my routine of writing on the morning train has gone to pot. so basically this will delay me updating the story... Anyway as it stands the story is almost done. There are about 5 pages of Fic left to be rewrote. This is basically from the final battle between WG, the Gen forces and the Guyver Zoalord. I also want to add another few pages of new story, focusing on Guyver 0 and other characters from stories 1 to 3. So while it's close to being completed, I want to add more to it to wind up plots within the story correctly and setup Guyver Zoanoid and Guyver 2's return to the story a little differently to before. But overall I don't think I'll be posting the story this month.

Guyver Roleplay
Alan hasn't responded to this since. So looking to see if one or two of you guys who likes to RPG wants to take over a new message board. I'll have an admin account basically to make sure the board can be upgraded to the latest version and to keep it running. I've no intentions of being a mod unless you guys lose control of the place and basically causing trouble. So in other words, if your mature about it (more than I was when we first started the WG.com board banning people over stupid drenn and having a rule section that now is more embarrassing than anything else) and want to run the board let me know here.

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
That hasn't changed even with the rewrites. The Aceaer Unit still bonds with the host, it's just in the WG 2 Universe you never saw what happened in the processes. The only thing you know is that the Aceaer's are not brought into battle. It hasn't changed. The Gen like the Uranus allow evolution (mutation) to play it's hand. Yes the Gen could have a bigger army via cloning methods, but all they get is something the same again and again. It's not what they want, they want an army that can learn and continue to evolve (though it is still very controlled). The untold trillions of Aceaers give the Gen the main part of army, it's the core of their forces and the part that evolves their hosts.
-
Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
The real strenght of the Gen armour is the Kavzar, and they are bonded with the host for life, from there you go all the way up to an Enfrocer. Along all the way the host has to prove themself. If you read the Enforcer Kavzar there is a fight to the death between 8 Commanders, the winner becomes the Enforcer and the parts of his defeated foes become part of his new form. Basically it's survival of the fittest to become anything in the Gen army. the Aceaer Cast, basically is the cheap cannon fodder of the Gen army. the Units are mass produced and the people who become them are on 1000's of "Seed Worlds" where the populations grow to the billions all worship the Gen. Yes the Grakken have their own expendable robots, I'd still put my money on an Aceaer above them though (well the Martin made ones anyway).
