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).
-
Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
The Aceaer is a common armour, basically the Unit-A of the Gen troops. It's a common massed produced armour and should never be confused with a Guyver unit. Humanity only has use of these because the Gen want them to have use of it. Remember the Gen are willing to let people die to test their theory. they are also willing to treat humanity as a computer, storing backups of Guyver conciousness and restoring their favorite hosts whenever they want. Simply put they are not bound by the same moral standards that humanity has. What that basically means is for their army, which is HUGE, untold billions of their troops are out there. Only the ones that survive make it to be a Kavzar, and that amour insures that the week don't survive. These aren't Guyver's, look at the Black Aceaer Unit in the Assassin Guyver story, what happened to it when the host took too much damage and was in danger of being in Chronos hands?

Latest Guyver story (Spoilers ahead)
When you see a Giant Gigantic Exceed foot and a little Gigantic Dark in the same picture who has used his most powerful attack that didn't even phase it.... you have to wonder is Gigantic Dark f*cked!

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
Update time, not sure if I'll get the story complete by mid June but it shouldn't take much longer than that. The reason being I've added something new to the story character wise, not saying whom but it will be interesting. You'll see in the story so far I'm moving things a long little faster than before, e.g. at the start of Time War the only Chronos areas left in the USA are Texas and Arizona. The main reason I'm moving along some of these events so that it gives more time to later stories (More so All Things Change) so that events moved into time happen with a better flow (e.g. the aftermath of the fall of Europe in revenge thanks to the Gen). Havin Max in the story eariler also gives the story a chance to flow better as events that just didn't sound right around his fight with Cyber Guyver and FG2 are simply totally removed. in line with what we would expect from Max, he'll go a little more all out than Guyver US did against them so the fight will flow a little more differently than before (though will still end the same way with Cyber Guyver being damaged and needed to repair off a Green Armour). Aceaer Marine will also be a litle more realistic this time and interesting, as you'll have read in part 2, the Aceaer isn't a Guyver and is capable of taking impact based damage to the host. IT's not as quick healing that damage as a Guyver so internal damge to the host has a much higher cost than to a Guyver (e.g. All things Change were the host takes hit that kills him that wouldn't kill a Guyver). Looking at the rewrite things are flowing well and I'm really happy with the result, anyway back to work.

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
Yup, would be a good guess.
-
Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
That would be more a question for James. But yes, they all need editing (More so the Creators section) but for me I'll only begin to work on it after the stories re-writes are complete (along with improvements to the site layout).
-
Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
As it's being awhile, time for an update on how the re-write is going. If you look at Time War part 5 (or part 2 as it's known on the site) I'm currently at the point where Warrior Guyver speaks with the now Guyver Faye. So I'm about over half way through the story. Now I plan to add 2 or 3 new bits to the story to round it off with the new stuff that has being added to Time War. But I don't see them being all too huge. Not at a point where I can guess when it will be finished but I'm making good progress through the story.

the Rewrite/update plan for the next while.
All things needs things like more story on the Mercs, their Units (that's almost a complete part in itself). Zeugma is another major character and so on including Cori and her story to become the Battle Guyver. Then there is the Grakken and Chronos storyline and so on.... All Things needs a lot of work to fit in correctly and work as a nice story. IT introduces a lot of characters and Changes (hense the name). The Mercs story as pointed out by you guys and myself simply sucks... they get paid to kill themselves? Who in their right mind would attack Chronos after what Alknaphel does to Warrior Guyver? Nope Baxter has a plan, and it's not to go head strong against Chronos and gettings wiped out by Kron and Alkanphel. Zeus is another major event of All Things that wasn't "cool" enough... so simply put I think All Things Change could do with the level or work I put into time War. I've updated the list at the start of this topic too so show the current plan.

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
In Union the fight with Guyver Zoanoid will not be covered in great detail. Only talked of, Union takes place 4 years after the Dragon Lord event / maybe X-Day. To put my re-write plan in current order it would be: 1. Time War - Story 2. (Major rewrite nearing completion - working on part 5 at the mo) 2. Union - Story 1. (Major rewrite - might become a 2 parter) 3. Revenge - Story 3. (not so major rewrite, mainly removal of scripted look and tidying up plot lines, adding more to the Alkanphel - Jason talk). 4. Warrior Guyver - Character story 1 and 2. 5. Resuce - Story 4 - (Major rewrite - Total removal of Chronos and Europe from the story, events around Guyver XT9 and Zygote postponed - story will focus only on the Grakken and ACTF USA). 6. All Things Change - Story 5 -(A lot of this story will stay the same - a lot will be added into it though, from Rescue and from other character building parts. The last part of the story though will get a major rewrite as events happen very differently. Two characters in this story line get to have their time, namely the Gigantics will have a much more solid roll along with the Mercs, Jasons "death" will allow for more time for them to get more story) 7. The Assassin Guyver 2 stories, basic tidy up so that it matchs up now with the above, events with Isis and histroy are the main focus here) 8. Meetings - Story 6 (Very minor rewrite needed, so at most a rewread and tidy up the parts with Krullnar). 9. Seven Days - Story 7 (tidy up for the above to be taken into account). After all that you'll notice one story is left out, Story 0 is missing. The reason being I want to see the last bit of events around Guyver II F play out in the offical story and see who she is truly with before I really use the character other than talking of her in passing. Guyot though will die in an alternative version of the current battle happening in the offical Guyver books at the mo. Bare in mind obviously events will happen very differently, as Agito won't be arriving to battle Sho with his new Gigantic, instead... well I let you guys work that out. Suffice to say, Story 0's rewrite will be a very major event. It will happen after the above is complete and after story 8 and maybe even 9. But the plan so far is to go back to Mutronics (the first Guyver Movie) and start from there and lead up until the point where Guyot dies. If you where to look at the story as a whole, the first few parts focus on Sean, the second on Sho / Agito. Union takes place after that set 2/3/4 years after allowing time for Chronos to recover and rebuild it's leadership.

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
Technically yes, but bare in mind Chronicles runs on it's own story line basically and will continue as a kind of alternative take on the story, my rewrite won't effect it and vice versa. For me this will be the 3rd re-write of it as the orgianal was basically just to remove the scripted look with some slight modifications. This coming rewrite will take a much more total look at the story and add in what I feel should be there (will continue this point after your below comment). Yes, basically that is part of what I mean above. The re-write before from me wasn't total enough to fix this. Sean should be a much better fighter. The sheer amount of Zoanoids he faces would be enough for him to be a more skillful fighter. Also by the time of Union he has faced and defeated a more powerful Acient Zoalord and has also though barely defeated a powerful Guyver Zoanoid. You don't do that even with extreame luck without some decent level of skill and knowing how to use the pressure cannon. The Proto Zoalord he faces will be a traditonal Imakarum style one too, insuring he gets a very decent battle.

Time War Part 4
The Gen created basic ones will not be "boosted", but there are different power levels between them at a Master.

Time War Part 4
Having to tidy up your brothers mess for a lifetime (and in a Zoalords case a VERY LONG life time)?

the Rewrite/update plan for the next while.
all Things will in fact get some major changes to it. on the level of Time War and what's planned for Rescue
-
Time War Part 4
Because Master Zoalords like Enforcers are a pain in the ass to make. This is part of the jelous nature in Revee v Korn that made him a good idea for the GuyverZoalord.
-
Time War Part 4
the Guyver Zoalord is basically off a Zoalord that would be equal in raw power terms tothe old estimates of a Gigantic Guyver (basically twice that of a normal Guyver).
-
the Rewrite/update plan for the next while.
that would be correct, though I'd probably do the first part of the Assassin fiction betore 5 and then the second part after it. Though I don't see them being huge work, the lore behind the Gen needs to be put into those two stories and corrected, the rest of it though won't see much if any change.

the price of figures
Depends which one you are after, but they are sold out quite often.

Time War (Topic 2 - Preview Part 4)
Yes it should flow a lot better than the previous verion of the story, problem is it will take a lot more work to do correctly in the re-write. But it's one of those things that simply put is worth it. I'm looking forward to doing Union next, there will be a whole new sebplot to the story and a Proto Zoalord bad guy for Sean to face off against. No more weekling Guyver US depending on help from G1 in this story, he'll have an edge like any Guyver should have after years of use.
-
Time War Part 4
This is where "Most Powerful" doesn't exactly mean "most survivable". The Gigantic by far is more powerful than a Warrior Guyver, but what saves the Warrior Guyver survivablity and a system designed to turn gravity based attacks back on the attacker using their power against them. IF it was not for that Warrior Guyver would have died and wouldn't have had the firepower to kill the Guyver Zoalord (bare in mind, in reality the Guyver Zoalord was tricketed into killing himself more than anything else). As McAvoy said, basically he'd have died at roughly the same point Warrior Guyver would have in the first bit of part 5, only he'd have not returned from the dead as the control medal lacks it's own independant shild and escape system.
