Due to lack of enthusiasm, confusing storylines, needlessly dark content, and wasted potential, I have decided to cut off the current Tarot storyline. This thread is for the reboot I am planning. Here are some basic notes, ask me about anything else I may have forgotten to include.
- The Gods are all formed, and will not be as important as in the last story, in an attempt to downsize the massive scale. If your plot angles around a god ascending, you may use it still, but keep in mind that the Gods are not main-focus characters anymore, and I will not allow any created go to actively menace the main storyline outside of Agents or something, for the sake of balance.
- The Forgotten War is gone, replaced with an old war between the Great Eyes and the rest of the world. Send me a PM about any forgotten war-based things that need changing.
- Amon doesn't exist. In this canon, the Gods created this universe at the beginning of time. Azershull will need heavy revisions as such.
- The Ots, Shards like Tiamat, and the Horrors have all been merged together into their own evil force called the Great Eyes, ancient and powerful entities that emerged from the Blink Zone for the purpose of subjugating other zones into worship of them. They have all been sealed away in the Zones they enslaved, but there have been rumors of a mad scientist that wishes to awaken one of them to use as a weapon...
- The Outside and similar non-zone locations are gone. Only weird zones from now on.
- The world is far more regulated than in the last thread, to better keep with the feel of the various institutions in Bogleech's work. The Clowns of the Honk Zone run a good portion of the universe, specifically in locations they could profit off of, and try to keep a slight peace. The various Scientists of the Clink Zone similarly run several zones, treated mostly independent, but if the grand Council of Juicy Science calls upon them, they must oblige, or lose their territory. None of the organizations control the Zones of your races, of course, unless you want them to or something.
- All gods are undergoing changes, just bring one up with me and I'll tell you how they've changed.
- The story isn't that dark anymore, so adjust dark aspects of your story accordingly.
- Halloween is alive and it is angry
- Watch out for robots.

Here's my changes. It's pretty much all my future plans, minus player interaction condensed into a backstory
There are three factions:
The Deva, ruled by Brahma - neutral
The Rakshasa, created by Ravana - hostile
The Asura, created by Parvati - friendly
Here's how the 'story' went down
G-1 was a unit created by TPC. they encountered all sorts of WACKY STUFF in the comments zone or whatever we're calling it. TPC, being a HUGE DOUCHEBAG, wanted power, and thus they made a deal with a being from a very Different zonal cluster named Yeshfix. They promised power in exchange for helping ascend to primordial status and gave Yeshfix G-1 as payment a payment up front. Yeshfix, being a HUGE DOUCHEBAG, promptly experimented with G-1 to ridiculous levels, breaking their bonds with TPC and forcing their primal form to absorb huge amounts of energy stolen directly from several existing primordials. This resulted in G-1 becoming a being known as Durga, which went rogue and escaped from Yeshfix's control. They promptly went back to the Comment Zone Or Whatever We Settle On Calling It to hang with the Group.
Fast forward some time and yeshfix begins the process to turn TPC into a primordial. Durga, catching wind of this from a scout unit, Who's bonds with TPC are broken and renamed Snart, goes off alone to confront her former boss. She is promptly FUCKIN REKT and her core given back to Yeshfix for further fucking around with. TPC becomes Brahma and promptly chills the fuck out. Yeshfix is given the power he was promised and becomes Ravana, who immediately tries to backstab Brahma, failing and being banished from Brahma's Protected Zones.
Ravana, still wanting to fuck with Brahma, revives Durga's core and experiments with it, creating a monster dubbed Ouroboros, which Ravana, being a HUGE DOUCHEBAG, continues to experiment with. Ouroboros, flawed and subject to a great many glitches, goes rogue, activating all the stored power of the various other primordials which went into it's making and becoming a primordial-tier monster calling itself Kali. Kali, being a HUGE DOUCHEBAG, destroys everything it comes across. Ravana and Brahama begrudgingly team up to stop Kali's reign of destruction and create a weapon called the Brahmastra, which is used to Blow Everything The Fuck Up. It ultimately fails in completely wiping Kali from existence, however, and after some time, Kali's core revives itself as Parvati, who is more than content with using her power to just go around and create life, setting up her own territory and doing her best to stay out of Interzonal God Politics. She eventually gets tired of the high life and goes back to the Group to go on WACKY ADVENTURES and shit, doing her best not to be all Godlike while doing so and serving as a support member during fights or tense situations. Parv prefers her friends still call her Durga.
Snart is still a Cute Backpack Friend, and will evolve as the story goes on. whether they were named by and freed from TPC by the Mind weaver i will ask Weaver about.
Itembox is no longer canon and Boh'ramm is no longer relevant.
Jukes is still canon, but he is off doing his own thing and might have a cameo.
Mark Scopes is still out there, but no longer under the influence of the Obelisk.
Life Zones are large areas of space teeming with semisentient matter which resulted from TPC's core ascending and becoming Brahma. This semisentient matter evolves and develops into new nonorganic life very easily. The largest Life Zone is called Nirvana, which is where Parvati's territory can be found.

Louis will be experiencing few changes, as the majority of his life was led where ever the fuck in the grey zone. His personality may be a bit more mature, and probably a bit more refined. I may or may not start up a fresh character, but either way Louis will remain.
I doubt any of you care about this, because i'm sort of the useless one. *Shrug* Anyway, that's it for now.

I just feel i'm the background guy. Anyway, how far back are we retconning exactly? i'm p sure all the way back to when petri wasn't GM. meaning early RN and all before it are still canon. I think. this will also help me, as it would give a reason got G-1 not to have been present until mid RN, what with my own edits to continuity |

The cosmology has changed so much that the Zeren invasion would have made little sense, I'll go over this more in-depth soon. Coffee House is definitely still canon, though! |

I plan on fleshing Everbound out a bit by giving her a spell list and a list of Bogey Beasts. Her Bogey Beasts are more powerful than her spells (and may have spells of their own), but will still have the limited in that she can only summon if asleep or in a Dream Zone. Stronger Bogey Beasts can only be summoned under high pressure, because I don't like having broken characters. She will be a "spin-off" version of my canon Everbound tailored to this canon. I also plan on her dragon accountant, Seraphon, being another playable good guy of mine. He's pretty much a typical dragon battle-wise; huge with nasty breath and is a tank. I also plan on elaborating on their dream-peddling business.
I'm not sure if I'll bring Ifreeta Venvel in yet. He's a bad egg, but certainly not a god.
More to come as I think of it.
