Story line

The year is 3020, it has been three years since the famous time machine has been released to the public. But wait, suddenly all time machines have been recalled when a team of historians and trained scientist go missing after using the strange scientific powers of the time machine. These scientist and historians find themselves trapped within ancient Egypt with now way out. Most of all though, they find magical stones, which do not apply to the world already proven fact: magic does not exist. How do these strange stones hold power? Are there really Gods that control everything around them? Why is it that at times things that shouldn’t be logically possible end up happening? And the very threat that hangs over each person’s head, will they ever survive long enough to get back home? With just the basic material, no help from the natives, how are these people to get back? The greatest scientists in the entire known world have at last made a stunning discovery; time machines are possible! Everyone wants to own one! But the disappearance of the historians is greatly troubling. The best scientist in the world are once again having to prove their genius by attempting to bring back their group of lost adventurers by cunning means. How will this happen, will it effect history as it now stands? In this role-play you are the ones to either be a historian trapped in time with scientists, or you can be the scientist that stay behind to over view the time machine on how it works. When the others go missing it is up to you to put together once again a team that can allow the others to come back. You have a limited time until all is lost in history; think you can make it?

Historians: You want to find out the “hows” in evolution, but something goes terribly wrong as everyone starts to travel through the past. They can’t go any farther then the time of ancient Egypt before 100 A.D. Your team is stuck in the B.C era with nothing but inborn skill for tracking the facts and small survival packs made for very primitive livings. Is it worthwhile to stay in Egypt while history works all around you? Or do you wish to suddenly go back, now that you find going back to far is impossible…
Scientist: The scientists are challenged by the Egyptians belief in Gods! Ancient stones they posses give strange powers to those who used them. Your job is to figure this all out, whether finding out that magic truly does exist or if this is all in your imagination.
Gods: While you watch the travelers try to obtain passage through time once more you act as the narrators. When something happens you review it and can put obstacles in the way of those trying to go forward in time. The stones you sent to earth are only apart of your plan for showing these “foolish mortals” that not everything is as it seems. Will they listen as the priests suggest? Or will they turn their backs on the truth condemning them to live in the ancient Egyptian times. (For a list of the Gods I will post a link.)
People of Egypt: You can interact with those who came from 3020, but you must not know anything about them! They confuse you and make things complicated because they don’t believe in the Gods. You go about daily lives with challenges either brought in by the gods or by the everyday challenges of life. There can be a pharaoh who rules all that also will play a part with the scientists and historians. Basically all you have to do is follow the outline into a world filled with strange magic that is not quite like in fearie tales, and also anything else that leaps from the imagination as long as it stays historically accurate as possible. I don’t want this going over board.

Rules
1) No God modeing! Even as a god you can be hurt or challenged within the Gods court yard meetings or even messing around with your own whimsical selves (this is because Gods in egypt happen not ot be like, actual Gods... more like idols of worship. xD )
2) Try to follow historical knowledge as you go along with this role-play. If your character is from 3020 I can understand if they’re a bit different. In fact, they should be REALLY different.
3) No over dose of romance! The cheesy stuff gets to me, sorry. Its okay if you do just keep it pg-14! And be consederate of the other person or something like that...
4) When playing beware VERY aware, that things are different here!! This is a different time, a different place please don’t make it too much of the 21st century (please). People don’t talk like “What’s up?” Or “How ya been?” Or even “Yeah, the day was cool!” They used a different way of speaking, if you can’t get the many rift of what I’m saying its fine... I'm just trying to get sure you get the point of little or no slang if your going to be someone egyptain born.
5) Okay, last rule; follow the rules that are already apart of this site. If they say not to do a certain something, you don’t do it! Other then that you’re all set to go if you follow what’s already been listed.
6) Be literate. Or try to be. Do your best please! Spell checking and grammar checking is MUCH apperciated.
7) No flamming. Be considerate. Follow ToS and guild rules.

Of course Thoth is the sun of Ra who is the God of Sun. Thoth helped Isis after Ra was made at her to have her five children be manipulating time so that five more days were added to the year. Thoth helps out among the gods settling disputes, weighing the hearts of men, and other odds in ends. Though over the years Thoth has been extremely unsettled as things began to happen in the future that could cause harm to his power of time. Usually of coarse Thoth is placid… taking care of the worry’s of men by bestowing upon them wisdom… Not to mention taking care of Hathor’s personal battle between Seth between throwing Hathor’s father into the underworld… well… Being a peaceful god is a handful is it not? Well, that is only the beginning of his troubles as humans are making time machines! The insanity of it! He has now determined… is it time to teach those Humans a lesson. Perhaps adding a little chaos to their plans would help?

Egypt 1798 A.D:
During the discovery of Ancient Artifacts


Once in silence then in noise, what was once in rest is now in chaos. This is how the God awakened. Carefully, with each breathed measured, infinitely, with time slipping by on both sides. The God of time, of wisdom, of Egypt, slowly began to awaken.
Thoth was no longer something of the past. Thoth, had awaken to stop the mortals from ruining forever his carefully put together craft. That craft was the history of planet earth itself. No one in his time had dared contradict such a thing, but times had changed, as they always do. So Thoth awakened to proceed with his own plans for humanity. This time, chaos was not going to reign, he would make sure of that….

The Middle East 3020 A.D, September 7th

Thoth was in a place filled with machinery. Some of it had flashing lights; other bits and pieces had buttons, or numbers that could be pressed. Then, there was another machine. It was THE machine, the machine that threatened to bring disaster. Noise suddenly interrupted his musings as a blonde scientist wearing a large white overcoat came in. Sitting down hurriedly the scientist began to type or push buttons on the screens. Then he began to yell out numbers in complex sequences as they appeared on the screen. At last, after several hours, everything had been checked. “Systems go!” The man shouted down to his companions below, through the large glass window. They nodded before the scientist turned to leave. Finally, Thoth stepped out of the shadows. He looked at the countdown clock. It was set for a waiting period of two days before allowing the time machine to depart. That would be plenty of time for Thoth to come up with a master plan. In fact, one was already brewing deep within his mind.

3020 A.D., September 9th

The passing days went by swiftly. In the time that the scientists checked the main computer mind, Thoth was doing his own checking. By turning off the computer manually, he was able to get into the main drive core reactor. From there it was only a matter of time before the final preparations were set. No one would even be able to tell what had gone wrong until it happened. This included the computer itself. Thoth slowly faded back into the past on the very last day. He would be waiting for the arrivals on his own terms. Until then, Thoth happily said good-bye to the world of men.

Messa entered into the time machine, feeling adrenaline rushing through her. This was most probably the most important day of her life. As time passed, Messa was absorbed completely in her thoughts of what was up ahead so she neglected to notice the sudden jolt that brought her crashing against the sides of TOM. “What the-“ Her sentence was cut short very abruptly. The next moment, Messa found herself lying sprawled on sand. What happened? How did this happen? All the configurations were right nothing should have gone wrong! She thought getting up, until her consciousness realized that she was on sand. Sand shouldn’t be anywhere near this area in this time… Looking around she spotted a half finished Pyramid in the distance. Slowly shivers ran up and down her back. This was defiantly not where they were suppose to be.

Communication rundown:
Speech: disconnects; no capability
Text: Displays down; Internal/External damage

I would need to find a different way to tell the humans what had happened...but first, I'd need to find out myself.

((Soo... post now? xD Now pressure or anything, and if you need help just pm me. I"ve been roleplaying for like... umm... two, three years? ))
PostPosted: Sun Sep 23, 2007 2:58 pm


((I'm okay, I haven't been roleplaying for long but I've been writing since I knew how. I'm not the best, but I'll be fine.))

It was to be the greatest day of his life. He would travel back in time and discover the secrets of the ancient world. But something was wrong, and he knew it. From the moment he walked into time machine, he knew it. But he would never let a little intuition stop him from an oppurtunity like this. He was one of few, chosen from a legion of hopefuls. And so he walked into the machine, prepared for what fate might bring him. But it brought him more than he could ever imagine, and the gods would one day wish that fate had chosen someone else. Mordred quickly realized his intuitions were correct. What he thought to be a little space-time turbulence turned into something far worse. At the last moment he braced himself, holding on to something stable for dear life. He watched a fellow traveler's head splatter against the walll. But the crash was softer than he expected. The machine felt hot inside. He crawled out and was blown to the ground by a gust of sand and shock. He looked over to see a girl in the sand.
How many casualties were there... I hope we're not the only ones alive.
A pyramid lay in the distance. Shock spread across Mordred's face. He was standing in Ancient Egypt.

((Really?? TRUELLY??!?! -jumps for joy- YESH!! xDD ))

Messa groaned, shifting her weight to her feet instead of her arms. The landing had been rough. She couldn't have sworn she'd landed against the side of the machine at least three times. "TOM, fuctional background check. Umm... damages?" She asked, crawling over before saying hi to the guy who had crawled out of the machine. He looked bad. "Answer please!" Messa begged, half to herself, half to TOM. Sighing she turned to look one of the scientists, she could tell by the coat. "Well, what now?" She asked, hoping the historians would wake up soon... maybe they would know were they where.

I hear you...I can't respond...Not yet.
I set to work on pinpointing the cause of the malfunction...but so far it didn't seem to have any rhyme OR reason.
Like something crafted by God or something.
As an artificial construct, I couldn't contemplate the existence of God, but I understood the concept. what I didn't understand was the situation at hand.
I realized that to figure this one out, I'd need to redesign the way I thought about the world I lived in; I needed to understand things beyond what was readily apparent.
