Long ago, it is said that a great God of Destruction wreaked havoc within the center of the multiverse, disrupting the laws of reality. During this time, several universes, ravaged by the God's power, were shunted together into a working universe, one that held amazing, bizarre secrets. The greatest secrets of this new world are the "living machines", bio-mechanical wonders that can bestow extraordinary powers on humans through a process known as "Driving".

However, there are those who would seek to use the living machines for evil, and in response, a new age of heroes have emerged.

Mega Man Impact is an upcoming roleplaying-based webserial that takes elements from Mega Man Classic, Mega Man X, Mega Man Legends and Mega Man Zero and incorporates them into one whole universe with a new twist. I am looking for people to help me set this project in motion-writers to help create each chapter, editors to edit the finished chapters, and site editors to help create and manage Impact's main web site.

How does it work? Basically, the assembled team will create human characters as well as their living machines and "act out" each scene of an outlined chapter. Once each chapter is completed, it will be rewritten in a uniform style by the editors and placed on the web site. The team will be kept small, so each member will have the opportunity to play multiple characters.

If anyone's interested in working on Mega Man Impact, drop me a line at helldragon4000@yahoo.com. If you want to help with the chapters, list some Mega Man characters you're interested in playing, and include a fairly lengthy roleplaying sample that spans about one or two pages. If you want to help with the web site, I'd like to know what past web sites you've worked on and links to them where possible.

Thats a cool idea!

Sounds pretty cool. I consider myself something of a writer. I've created many different Mega Man, Mario and Zelda stories.

I am also currently developing my very own story, for a new series which is well under way, which someday I hope to make into a game. I wish not to post any of of it's contents for a while.

If perhaps, you're the ring leader of this project, maybe you could throw one or two character ideas down so people know exactly what they're limitations and expectancies are in the character design department.

That's a pretty good base for a story, if I may interject with a few inquiries:

1. Who, if anyone is this God of Destruction? Anyone specific?
2. Do the inhabitants of various alternate universes come to interact with those in other spaces, or will they remain isolated from one another and the story will mainly focus on one universe? I know you said something about a multiverse and several universes.
3. Will this lead up into the events of the Mega Man Series, or will this be completely non-canon?
4. Will this story pertain to the beginning of time itself or does this happen at some specific period?
5. If "Driving" as you put it is the act of fusing robot's capabilities with a human, must the living machine become a host, resulting in it's death, permanently endowing their power to a human or with the human and robot that are "Driving" able to split apart at will? (Similar to the BioMetals of MMZX)

I'll probably have more questions along the way. We should get at least 8 people for the job. 4 writers, 2 editors, and 2 site administrators. Additional help can be recruiting along the way as needed.

1. The identity of the God of Destruction will be revealed as Impact's storyline progresses.
2. Impact focuses on one specific universe. The multiverse aspect is to explain how several seperate universes were combined into one.
3. It's non-canon, but you will see many aspects of various Mega Man series in Impact.
4. It's a specific time period.
5. Living Machines exist seperately from their hosts, but rely on the host for substinence and protection. In turn, the Living Machines allow their hosts to borrow their power through Driving, which allows the host to protect themselves and the Living Machine. Afterwards, the Living Machine can safely seperate once again from its host. In many ways, they are similar to Biometals, but also exist as seperate entities like NetNavis.

If you're interested in joining the project, I'd like to see examples of your work.

Sounds enterprising!

I'll look into it when I have access to an actual computer and not some crappy little PSP that makes typing more difficult than successfully performing open heart surgery.

Sounds like a good idea. Do we have to create original characters for this?

Yeah. Those on the writing team will recieve a list of specifications to use when creating characters for Impact.

If we already have one thats fits can we use them.
