its an official thread now, and not me running ideas back and forth to four different people.
I believe this story is coming to an end....but then, this is like a juicy novel to me and I dont wanna spoil it, even though Im one of the writers xp
Current plot issues:
The Nuts& Bolts of the System:
Blademaster Morgan
As for how the whole thing got started, what if we borrow part of Lotus' initial idea, building on and changing it where we see fit?
Say, for instance, in the late 80s to 90s, here in the real world, a psychological test program was developed in which a group of beings would be insterted into a controlled virtual environment to test their reaction to various different elements. They start with a few-hundred subjects, including, but not limited to: Lunel, Kite, Morgan, Zeis, Timber, Tai, and so on and so forth.
For twenty years or so (putting it at around this time), everything works fine. A particular group of people have become partially aware of the system and have learned how to manipulate their own code to an extent, thus giving themselves wings and supernatural powers. Of course, this group christens themselves angels. This explination can apply to other supernatural groups as well, of course, like Kite's Ars Arcanum. But that's up to you, Kite. To each his own, aye? XD
Anyway, back to the present. An unstable element enters the system when a raw surge of emotion drives the first of many test subjects insane. This person would be Zeis, of course. Up until this point, the administrators (Lotus, especially) had been metaphorical NPCs, AIs meant to control the system while being monitored by their respective creators.
This changes when Zies gots nuts and starts killing people. An emergency protocol is suddenly in effect, and the administrators themselves enter the system in place of their AIs. With so much happening at once, a short fries the system (because at this point, we're only talking about a modern system of supercomputers XD), things start going nuts, everyone currently in the system becomes trapped inside, and the system itself becomes self-aware.

Now I had thought of the system as creating bodies to house the soul's of the experimentees. Through the soul's endeavors it begins to make changes to the code of the body that houses it. These minor changes are viewed as results of the experiment and it is not until certain people go insane through the experiments and other events that fall into place that the admin begin to feel that the system is in trouble of crashing. Thus we have the huge fight at the end....now here is where we have the split view on what exactly happened. My thought is that in order to free themselves from the experiment they had to sever the link their souls had to their 'real' bodies....thus they where freed and reborn in the real world. However an admin could have put in a backdoor to make the experimentees believe that they had gotten out, but really they only fell into another part of the system that was simplistic. The admin doesn't realize that the souls had kept their traits and when they began to show signs of these abilities they tried to get rid of them.....the explosions and such are ways inwhich one can move from one area of the system to the next so the only way to get out of the system is to find a means to shut it down rather then just blowing things up.
erm.....
yea.
*ahem* moving on...
feel free to hijack this post and add stuff.
