The Old Timeline:
- Soleno takes Yazidi to Temrin's house to get make a "clone" of Yazidi to fool Vivera.
- To test out Temrin's replica, Soleno, Yazidi, Temrin, and Zafira take a replica of Dhevir out. Vivera takes the replica.
- Vivera gets angry over being fooled by the fake troll. She suspects Soleno was behind it and threatens him as well Zafira and Acaena, that he turns over the replica-maker.
- Trying to think of a way out of the mess, Soleno mentions he knows of a Secret Keeper. He takes Zafira and Acaena to meet Merino. Merino says he knows the information they seek, but will require information/ a secret in return.
- Meanwhile Dhevir, Kinyon, and Asteri all receive a letter calling them out to a meeting place. There the three are attacked by seadwellers, and Dhevir finds some old, dirty pages amongst the bodies of the seadwellers.
- Soleno, Zafira, and Acaena return and chat to Dhevir who says he has found the pages. Soleno and Acaena go and retrieve the papers from Dhevir. Along with Zafira they return to Merino. There Merino tells them of a seadweller who can regenerate, and has his moirail, Ikanah, escort them to a series of caves at the ocean's edge.
- Else where Vitrel and Lelios meet up, and the two also go to the caves so Vitrel can treasure hunt.
- While in the caves the two groups meet, but Ikanah grows impatient with the group and leaves. Soleno gets separated from the group, but the rest run into Neyruu.
- Soleno returns to the surface as the tide rises and the caves start to flood. Shortly after the other group also surfaces. Having spent too much time in the caves they don't have enough time to make it to the safety of a hive. Lelios mentions his hive is nearby and takes them there.
- After staying Lelios's hive, Soleno, Zafira, Acaena, and Neyruu head to Vivera's hive. However she isn't home. Soleno freaks out that Yazidi was targeted and they go to Temrin's; however, Temrin and Yazidi left to go to Dhevir's where Kinyon is also as well.
- After some tension between Dhevir and Yazidi, the other set of trolls arrive and the groups reunite.
- After spending the day time at Dhevir's hive and night has fallen, Vivera and Savona come to Dhevir's hive. Vivera's lusus was sniffing out Yazidi. There Vivera has a confrontation between Dhevir and Kinyon, while her lusus goes inside to attack/drag out Yazidi. However Soleno, Acaena, and Yazidi fight it off. Vivera realizing she is outnumbered decides to leave.
- Knowing that Vivera is at her hive, Soleno and Acaena take Neyruu back to Vivera's and meet her right before they reach the hive. There the group confronts Vivera's actions. Vivera defends herself saying it was merely the way their species is. Soleno then reveals that Neyruu was a sacrifice to Vivera to keep Vivera away from Yazidi. Neyruu states that Soleno was misinformed by Merino and that when injured she does die. Soleno looses himself as his plan unravels and attacks Neyruu, and then turns on Vivera. The two fight it out, and shortly after Vivera's hive explodes. Vivera freaks out that her hive and thus her experiments have been destroyed.
Other Story Notes:
- During the Ancestors an uprising between the landwellers and seadwellers started. Many of these ancestors are related to those of the current-day plot. The current seadwellers are plotting against these descendants and attacking them. This is why Dhevir, Kinyon, and Asteri were attacked and why Vivera's hive was blown up.
- The rebellion during the Ancestor timeline was started by the Regalant who went crazy and started to originally just kill lusus-es (lususi?) and eventually just started killing the landwellers he came across.

Things I would like to see in the reset:
- Vivera still starts off as a villain with her experiments. The exact previous events do not need to happen (which honestly may be kind of boring). But this is a big part of Viv's character and her relationship between Soleno and Yazidi.
- Arodon (the modern day Regalant) be introduced earlier, but not quite as a villain. He's rather sneaky and I would to see him manipulate the others against one other (i.e. Soleno and Yazidi against Vivera).
- More of my other trolls like the twins and Merino.
- Also some more plot involvement with the other trolls that aren't mine. sweatdrop Writing out that summary, a lot of what was going was dependent on my trolls. Granted I was building a lot of the plot as well and a lot of the plot was based upon the Vivera/Soleno/Yazidi dispute and other trolls just kind of got swept up in that. As such I wouldn't mind seeing some different events taking place that also place importance on your trolls as well.

Here are some things that I've come up with, which are all up for change and not set in stone.
- Acaena is reclusive at the moment, staying to her hive, or right around her hive. She does know Kinyon already. Kinyon may bring someone to her if the need arose; he knows Acaena makes wonderful metalcrafts. Someone might need a weapon or piece of armor made, or something, and Kinyon could bring them to her.
- Acaena's Ancestor left a chest with yet undetermined things inside. Vitrel finds the chest on a treasure hunt. Perhaps if she has met Acaena, she would recognize the symbol and give it to her. Or if someone she is with knows Acaena, that could explain it.
- Also regarding Acaena's Ancestor Box; Acaena may recognize some of the material on the box as a weird substance she's seen somewhere else; she could go on a journey with other trolls to go collect the material so she could forge the key to open the box. This journey could be perilous, with traps or ambushes, or it could be simple. She also may need to go visit Verici (my electrical engineer troll) to get other components, which would introduce Verici to others.
- Kinyon could be used for espionage in the future, if the need arises. A plot line could involve him having to spy on villains at some point.
- Vitrel is found while she is treasure hunting, setting doesn't matter.
- Savona has a great desire to protect those she meets. She is drawn to them. Perhaps once more Ancestors are figured out, she would be drawn to those descended from "important" Ancestors, as her Ancestor would have protected those who were important to the rebellion. Such as someone who was a great strategist, or a leader, or something of the sort.
- Hyloxa may be an enemy, perhaps he defects despite Savona's protest.
In general, though I know it's not the most important thing ever, I would like to focus more on the interactions of my trolls with others -- I know it's silly, but I think a couple of them need their quadrants a little more filled in for character development. Acaena for example, if she becomes close to another troll may start to open up and be less of a cold, uncaring wench. However, this depends a lot on how the trolls interact with each other, so I know it may or may not happen.
Otherwise, I am still trying to draw ideas. This is what I have so far, though. I know it's not much, but it's a start I guess.

(Doing this as a new post so that you know that I posted something new, idk I guess I could edit but I don't suppose it matters much anyway? XD)
I was doing some thinking, and I thought Hyloxa should have a story arc at some point.
I think that he goes crazy, since Savona does not reciprocate his red feelings. He just has a breakdown, thinking he is not happy with their moirallegiance. He probably would try to attack and poison any trolls that Savona may know -- so this may have to happen a little later in our story, once Savona has met some trolls.
This is different than him just simply becoming a generic enemy, since it's never his intent to be evil. He just got crazy and had a mental breakdown. Arodon could have something to do with it, maybe Arodon tries to convince him that he isn't getting what he deserves from Savona, etc. How he has a breakdown is totally up in the air still.
All I know is Savona would likely be the one to have the final confrontation with him, not that other trolls couldn't be present. But I think that she would have to be the one to defeat him. I'm not sure I want him to die, but I was thinking that he was going to use a paralyzing toxin against Savona, and she ends up getting a blow in on him with his own poisoned weapon, causing him to become poisoned by his own toxins. Maybe she applies an antidote, and it clears his mind and he realizes what a fool he had been. And he would also suffer some consequences due to the effects of the toxins, such as a lame leg or arm or something.
I'm not 100% on the ending, since that does depend on how it goes during RP and such.
Anyway, just wanted to throw this out there.

FOR START OF RP
- Soleno has already run into most of my own trolls, including Arodon and possibly Merino. He is being used by both of them.
- Soleno has gone out in search of information of the Slime of Eternal Sweeps, the thing Vivera is trying to make. He is doing this for two reasons: 1.) To save Yazidi from Viv. 2.) To prove Viv she's wrong and crazy and/or there is another way to reach her goals. This is because Soleno and Vivera have a weird friendship going on and Soleno doesn't want to plain out kill Viv.
- So Soleno with information from Merino has gone out in search of information.
HOWEVER where he is searching is still up for grabs as I haven't nailed that down. Some place where he has a chance of running into other trolls.
Possible places:
- Old rundown places
- Caves
- Forests
- Library
- IDK

- Kinyon knows Acaena personally. She is in her hermit phase, and is likely to be agitated and not want anything to do with most trolls -- however, for some reason she finds Kinyon to be calming and would likely put up with other trolls if he was around. It's almost a moirail thing, however, they are not true moirails.
- Kinyon also knows Verici, however she finds him uninteresting and doesn't really have much to say to him. But again due to his calm nature, she puts up with him.
- Kinyon knows of Vitrel, however he has never met her personally. He just knows of a seadweller who excels at finding treasure and artifacts; and through many different tales, has put the details together to figure out her name and what she does.
- Hyloxa and Savona obviously know each other, but things are weird between them right now, since his unrequited red feelings are interfering with their established moirallegiance.
Kinyon could be in any place that other trolls would be. He likes to walk around and discover new places. He most commonly would be in a forest or some kinds of ruins, probably, since he would be interested in what was going on there. Also, he likes to just hang in trees, so there's that too.
Savona normally hangs around caves and forests. Her hive is in a dense wooded area below a cliff -- she likes to be on top of the rocks on the cliff looking down on things, or in the caves at the bottom of the cliff, or just in the forest.
Vitrel would likely be in a cave, along the beach, or in ruins or whatnot looking for treasure.
Kinyon would likely have to take someone to Acaena since she doesn't get out much. If someone mentions they needed something specific crafted or made, he would take them there. Or if they needed something unlocked, or something like that.
Verici may be out, but she'd most likely be in a "civilization" type area -- looking for electrical parts, in a bookstore or library looking at schematics so she can learn to make new gadgets, things like that. Or, Kinyon could bring someone to her as well.
So more than likely, Kinyon would be the most likely for someone to run into, followed by Savona, followed by Verici and Vitrel. Kinyon could definitely take people to Verici or Acaena if there was a need.

I'm thinking possibly a set of abandoned lawnrings (like Karkat's hive). Their trolls grown up/ moved off planet / culled. The hives are left to ruin. Just a possible idea. Possibly near a forested area.

That sounds like a good place we could start. Kinyon could be wandering by and if he sees or hears someone, he would go and see what they're doing. He's nosy and curious like that.
