great jorb!

So does that mean everyone who's submitted a character (that's gonna be in the story) is a chapter?

^Taken from my Facebook notes and a file of mine from a few months ago.

2.1.00 – Plotline:

Note that this plot is very vague and leaves a lot of information that I, the founder, believe that it may contain too many spoilers that would turn this very synopsis into a 5-page essay. This is an even shorter version of that one plot I wrote, but I think my previous version is just gonna over-complicate too much ^^;

Just make what you will of this – using the themes and genres regarding the story – so you know what is to come. Thank you.

2.1.00.* takes place in the year 2,100, starting from the perspective of original-character Karoku**. He is one of the last humans of his kind. Over the course of 80+ years, the entire human race of Earth was annihilated by a race of super-powered aliens, which invade other planets and “harvest” any living organisms either for food or growth in their evolutionary chain. The aliens, known none other than the Splicects (or “Genosects”)***, have successfully brought humanity to a complete halt. However, the non-human residents of Earth, such as its monsters, angels, demons, vampires, fairies, and other supernatural beings, take a stand together to fend off the invasion and protect the planet they call “home” in a battle of monsters versus aliens (please do not refer to the movie >_>; ). In a world where the only way to survive is to gain a well-earned reputation, to weed out the weak, and to dominate is the sure-fire method and key to surviving in the pseudo-dystopia (opposite of utopia) of the 22nd century.

- 2.1.00.* is part of the full, pending-title, “Trukaryion: 2.1.00.”, which is symbolized in the following way:
  -Tru~ as in “True”
  -kary~ as in “~karyote” or “eukaryote”
  -ion~ as in “Eon”, but with the “e” replaced with an “i” instead.
  -Trukaryion is a shorter version of the elongated term ”True-karyotic-eon”, which refers to an age of “pure” multicelled organisms, and due to the vast majority of races all over the universe, it makes the title apparent with the setting.
  -2. 2; Twenty; its digits place in relativity to the year the story starts; 2,100
  -1. 1; One; its digits place in relativity to the year the story starts; 2,100
  -00. 00; Hundred; its digits place in relativity to the year the story starts; 2,100
  -2.1.00. refers to the year 2,100, which is also the story's starting-year. Each number is also the starting letter for the full phrase, “Tomorrow Opens Heights”, which refers to each day in the story being different than the last and expanding on the story's plot as the days go by.
  -2.1.00. is originally referred to as “2100”. As of current, it is the most popular nick-name for the series, which is perfectly fine to call by.

- Karoku** is one of MAAAAANY characters, as there is no “main” or “most-important character in Trukaryion. He is only mentioned because he is my self-insert. Otherwise, every character should earn equal screen-time, not counting parody-characters, lesser characters, and flash-backs (which there are barely any).

- Splicects/Genosects*** is the main antagonistic race of the story. They are insect-like aliens who travel through the cosmos invading worlds lush with intelligent species, only to enslave them and treat them like farm animals while they benefit out of their livestock, mass-reproduction, and most importantly, interspecies-mating. Their purpose is to give birth to hybrids consisting entirely of themselves and of other races, to make the ideal army and the perfect race. They are the successful versions of the homosapiens, taking interbreeding to advanced levels, and clearing out any possible flaws they have (or ever had) as a race. One other thing they are brutally known for is killing mass hordes of other races, and if those invaded races cannot defend themselves, the Splicects will continue to raid that world until that race is wiped out from existence.
  -The term comes from the combination of “Splice” (as in Gene-splicing) and “Insect” (blatantly obvious). The second term is just “Splice” replaced with “Geno~” which refers to “Genocide”.

The story's number-one problem is the coming of a creature so ancient, it is a paradox of the start and the end. Fafnir, a hybrid Splicect, aims to create “the perfect child” by forcing
every race in the universe to interbreed as much as possible to recreate the all-powerful and all-mighty “Alphath, the First”. Alphath is a massive behemoth that represents every race in the universe as if everyone in it is a piece of it (or rather, their genetic code). It is everyone's child in the farthest future toward the end of the universe, and its destiny is to travel back in time and give birth all over again, to the same ancestors that will give birth to it...again. In other words, an continuum of absolute infinity (lol redundancy ftw), and a cycle that spins itself. Naturally, we NEED Alphath to exist, but the problem is Fafnir's goal in bringing him about earlier than need-be, which can result in a premature end to the multiverse. The only thing that can save the universe, is destroying Splicects and their maniacal genecist Fafnir, and delaying the coming of “Alphath” until the right time, to put the balance back in order.

For extra notes, Alphath resembles a giant moth with many arms and an elongated tail that travels through the multiversal network and Amala (a giant network outside dimensions). It has wings beyond count (10 wings visible to the non-human eye), no facial features (except patterns and until provoked to “evolve” with these features as far as fighting the damn thing goes on), and a gelatinous, acid-like fluid it is coated in (notably its wings and its tail), which it uses to (re)create the elements of the multiverse itself, and its many species/races. The acidic gel is a supreme form of amino acids, being one of the components that build up life in the universe. The acid is so powerful, those with no defense against it would liquify and become part of darkmatter, as a concept. Alphath is in a sense, the closest meaning of “God” as can be, since it technically has no beginning nor end. Is it God? No, that's stupid. Alphath is more powerful than that. Creations can live without God, but they cannot live without Alphath. Creations made Alphath to make them to make Alphath to make them to make Alphath to make them and infinity...

And if you want to know what the genres are, just look down. It’s only a one-minute-read at the least. For the most part though, it’s very Sci-Fi-heavy, with Fantasy obviously redundant enough for you to figure out way before reading this sentence (and whatever content is after it). Biopunk is by far the major genre in Trukaryion. I guess you can say it’s the bridge between the paranormal and technology that makes beings who they are and what they can do.

Anyway, read on if you wish.

Major Genres & Subgenres:
-Action:
-Heroic Bloodshed
-Samurai/Western
-Girls with guns/swords
-Adventure:
-Hybrid: “Seinenhero” = Seinen manga + Superhero
-Comedy: The only “funny” you’ll find here is people getting hurt… *trollface*
-Action Comedy
-Slapstick
-Black Comedy/Crude Humor/Dead Baby Comedy (Your Mileage May Vary)
-Erotic: Only to the point where x-character is 18 or older. Under-aged characters are excluded from said-genre.
-Fantasy: All of them, even “Dying Earth” (to some extent)
-Historical Fiction:
-Alternate History
-Horror:
-Survival Horror
-Paranoid Fiction: Yes, this is an actual genre.
-Philosophical: And how!
-Political: Ehhh, not so much…
-Romance: Dominant genres being the dominant heterosexual, shoujo-ai/yuri (to some extent; mainly in Japan as a setting), including taboo practices such as incest (again, to some extent, in Japan (story-wise))
-Saga: Self-explanatory
-Satire: It has several parodies here and there…
-Science Fiction:
-Post/Psuedo-Apocalyptic
-Punk:
-Cyberpunk
-Retropunk:
-Dieselpunk
-Steampunk:
-Teslapunk
-Clockpunk
-Biopunk
-Urban:
-Urban Fantasy

NOTE:

“Trukaryion” is a multi-genre project that includes all of the above. The general setting for the story and the current level of technology is a mix, due to some of the Earthling non-humans wanting technology to advance, some wanting to rely on lesser technology such as steam, diesel, and bio-technology, and most wanting nothing to do with science, since most non-humans don’t need science to survive to fend off a race of super-advanced, superpowered aliens.

-Emotional Genres:
  -Ignorance: Just about 80% of the non-humans who can’t tolerate the wonders of “science-fiction”.
  -Arrogance: Refer to the egos of the Splicects and most of the non-humans/human-haters.
  -Dominance: “Kill, eat, rape, repeat. Do any of these (or a combination), and you are a top-predator. Great and spiffy ways to survive in the world of today!” – Advertised/targeted toward fully-grown non-humans.
    -Major Sins: Gluttony (eat), Lust (rape), and Greed (killing for power/money, etc.)
    -Yes, this also includes going as far as conquering the omniverse (no joke).
    -Survival of the fittest!
    -Yes, crossovers are allowed too! (but there’s a limit on that, such as no original vs. canon. It’s gotta be original vs. original)
  -Paranoia: Refer to “Paranoid Fiction”
 -Rebellion: If your character is this, he/she/it is most likely a “good-guy”

NOTE: “Trukaryion” is meant to be depressing, morbid, and outright offensive in the comedic genre. DEFINITELY not emo, because it has its happy endings (and believe you me, they are pretty light-hearted). The story has its Crowning Moments Of Heartwarming, so give it a chance. Also, not all human-haters are considered evil in the story (yes, including Serrena, who despises humans), which pretty much just about sucks for the humans. Oh well… (refer to “Dead Baby Comedy”). Of course it’s unfair! That’s what dominance is all about! Well, there are other ways around become the top-dog, and certain people don’t need to rely on that advertised genre. If you have a character, your character and other characters in the story just need to survive (and that's up to me to decide). Period.

Get it now? Good. Welcome to the Crapsaccharine World that is “Trukaryion”! Don’t? Go to tvtropes and wikipedia. Otherwise, I tried ^^;

yay awesome!

Thanks for the update. I must say, the Splicects and Alphath concepts are definitely intriguing. It'll be cool to see presented in the books.

One comment:

You're right that Alphath is a paradox. Your logic dictates this sequence:

Ancestors > Alphath, the 1st
Alphath, the 1st > Ancestors
THEREFORE Alphath, the 1st > Alphath, the 1st

In essence, Alphath, the 1st has no starting point in the first place to start a cycle. This is why two theories have arisen by human knowledge:
1. Creation by some god (God theory)
2. Spontaneous matter creation (Big bang theory)

Either theory calls for a starting point. No starting point, therefore no Alphath the 1st, rendering his existence null and void. Not only is it a logical fallacy, it's an impossibility.

    Well, Origin theories can vary considerably from the two mention, including a mishmash of the two, and even some circumventing them entirely. I recall one such theory in which parallel dimensions (related to String Theory) outside of time itself collided and gave rise to the manifestation of pure energy that exploded as the "Big Bang", forming our reality. Naturally, these things cannot be empirically proven due to our limited Naturalistic scientific methodologies, but they can provide some interesting perspectives. Perhaps in the case of Alphath it could entail something similar to the Bootstrap Paradox, in which the universe is created somehow, followed by the creation of Alphath, who then gets sent back in time messing up the original process, and he then becomes the god that is responsible for the creation of the universe as we know it. As such, he would not technically be the "original" cause of existence, but he becomes the only cause, requiring that he repeat the cycle in a time loop for it to be. Or something like that.

    Mind-bending time-traveling paradoxes are frequent in science fiction, so whatever rout is taken, even if it defies our understanding it could still work.

I've been intending the scientific aspect behind Alphath since I created him. So you guys are content with him and the Splicects?

Here's a little more info on him too:

First form is incomprehensible. Since it lacks all senses including the sixth and beyond, its body feels that presence itself does not matter, so it nullifies the 5 senses for anything else which renders a basic comprehensible image of it. You can't see Alphath unless you use the 6 sense and beyond. At this point, you're basically witnessing omnipresence at the fullest. We keep telling ourselves "God is there" yet we can't see him. This is the exact same thing with Alphath.

Second form is visible. It develops eyes after learning that its opponent has the advantage with the psychic sense. But now, it can see you perfectly too.

Third form can be heard. It develops a mouth and the ability to speak. You can hear it, but it still can't hear you. This is part of its earned ability to intimidate.

Fourth form can smell. It develops nostrils so it can recognize you by smell in case you somehow become "invisible" to it in sight and hearing.

Fifth form can devour. It develops a tongue so it can taste you. If you satisfy its newgrown appetite, you become absorbed into it.

Sixth form can hear. It develops ears so it can read your movements, whether or not it can see you.

Final form can feel. It develops the ability to tell how close to danger it is, and automatically regenerates any damage done by pain reception.

There's also some other significant add-ons between the forms, but this is the basic gist of it.

[Rad]

Yeah I'm content with them - it makes for an interesting twist.

I like the additional info too. I think even Sigma with all of his forms has some fierce competition! Although I am curious what senses would qualify as beyond the 6th.

It was actually part of a lesson I had with my Civilizations I professor. He was talking about the senses and how certain people back then would try to meditate to achieve the "sixth sense" or something like it. They say that having a sense beyond the sixth or functioning at just 1% higher than normal brain functioning levels, you can achieve some sort of omnipresence. I dunno, it's tough to explain, but it's one of those "psychic science theories" which I found very interesting in that lesson. Here's another theory. If you can comprehend at a certain percentage (I think 50%?), you don't even have a body or something like that. You become "aware" of things and see it from a virtual stand-point. Like everything to you isn't "real" and- yeah, you kind of become "omnipresence", literally. Frankly, I don't believe that because how can "intelligence" literally flow in the air? It is interesting though.

Whoa! Interesting! I hadn't heard of those theories before. The last one reminds me a bit of the Akashic Records, and by extension, the Akashic Field Theory. Essentially, in that belief, all knowledge of all universes past and present is encoded on this said dimension outside of our physical realm of existence. Supposedly there are means to access this cosmic library of infinite knowledge through meditation and hypnosis, according to certain philosophies.

Yup! And it's a good thing it's a scholarly subject, because you see the girl on the far left of my banner? In her story/movie/light novel, she has access to the Akashic Records, and can willfully cease concepts from existence, but she has to do so physically, and by cutting these "appendages" known as the "death lines". Really overpowered, because very few fictional characters can counter it, but I digress. It's an interesting subject altogether, because as an element to the story, it would demonstrate how determined some of the older and wiser characters are in finding the all-incredible library of knowledge.

What's even more hilarious is that in that really old crossover idea I had planned 2 summers ago, I had this idea of a "library" outside of universes, but it turns out that it wasn't very original and that it was a total knock-off of Akasha. Though to be fair, I somehow formulate ideas much earlier than what I learn of them in later times, which makes me think: "Is my imagination a crystal ball into the future or something?"

Wow, that's epically insane. I had no idea such a character existed. The physicality of her methods is an interesting twist.

Ah, right! I remember the library. So that's ditched now? I can't believe it's been two years...

Yup. Her name is Ryougi Shiki, although her fans are ridiculously annoying. They over-exaggerate her capabilities, such as:

-Killing the concept of distance
-Willingly able to destroy the universe at will

Fucking ridiculous...And the creator himself says it's all just a boast.

Yep, the library is now ditched, unless I just say it's the "Library of Akasha" but I might wanna find a more original term than that. Yeah...2 whole years o.o;
