Lately I was thinking about how cool an epic comic about The Nobody might be. I think it's a story many writers are unconsciously picking up on, alluding to, and trying to write. We have a very interesting and creative bunch here. What if we wrote this story? Or just brainstormed how it would work. On the other thread I proposed 12 major character/candidate nobodies who represented the archetypes of the zodiac and fell into alignment with either the desire to reset and destroy the universe or the desire to continue the universe in a new aeon of paradise. Some of the characters might be tricky personas and some might be violent fanatics. Certainly some of us here might do self-inserts, and since we are all so delightfully different that might actually work out. I have people in mind that could work for different themes. I won't directly say who or who but if I ever wrote this thing I'm sure everybody could recognize the ones involved. I think most go about the superhero genre the same way over and over and the world is ready for a new Ilead. I won't ever write something like this until I'm damned well ready, but it might be fun to be whacky and zany with ideas on the forum if anybody wants to play along. Maybe we should just go all out and pull some stuff out our butts and see what we come up with. One of the things I was thinking might be interesting is how these nobodies interact is that they gain access to the astral realm, which is a dimension that only the awakened have the ability to see or dwell within.

What if Lucifer and Christ are the day and night faces of the same character, who is at war with his own impulses, and his conflict directly reflects the human condition, and part of the story is trying to learn who of the 12 is this special character ?

Here is an interesting dimension to this idea of the war of constellations, the shadow game. The 13th sign...nebulous, je nais sais quoi. None can say for sure its real. I think this is the odd seventh, thy whom tips the scales.

Hey guys, thanks for inviting me to the super secret good guy lair, 'scions of the 7th' was it (is that the best name for the group; whats in a name?)? Im really digging the vibe of the decor, who picked this out, very nice (that long windy cave to get here is another story...a to b much? Just kidding, I know I could have just gone through the walls at any point as they are made of pure astral juice). So whats the first order of business, whats the game plan? Shall we take a break for tea? Does anyone want to see pictures of my shiny rock collection?

The battlefield of the story occurs at the end and beginning of time. Not just the 12, but those with potential and true will have varying access to the chronascendency, determining both the muttable past and future. Where this realm exists, is not in space or within time. When the rotation of an axis expires, the tendrils of motion tie-dye the timeline. Memory is altered, for those who are not part of the masquerade. Some vaguely initiated exist with some knowledge of the outra realm dilemma but not with both feet in the puddle so to speak. Their confusion is the origin of much thought disorder. Some manage to live between realities without too much inner chaos.

Aha! Fools! do you not know that your astral signal is easily detectable.
*grabs Caylus Ark*
*places 17 year old healthy genius in front*
My squadron of loons are in position to absolutely obliterate the 100 greatest works of art (and a 100 works of art of debatable value) If you do not shoot and kill this innocent person.
You pretend to align with the essence of goodness, but doth ye not knoweth thy curse thee mark thy self with.
Come onnnn... its so much easier just having fun, just relax ok, there is nothing better than power and pleasure, if everything was just in this world, then I may not be able to experience as much power and pleasure as I do now, and how would that be fair?
So what is your little girl scout plan, knit enough sweaters for all who might be a bit chilly? Start getting to work in the farm fields? Start building homes 1 by one? enjoy that, sounds like a very valuable and rewarding way to spend ones time; noone has ever knit or farmed or built a home before, you are really making a difference; just imagine everyone patting you on the back continuously as you do it, ok.
Later suckers!
*snaps fingers and vanishes, leaving a really sleek logo behind in the aether dust*

Sorry guys... it took me a real long time to collect all those, and their aesthetic value is indefinable. How many healthy geniuses will exist in eternal time? How rare of the chance for me to possess those one of a kind stones?
Im out, good luck.

Genii are rather hard to possess. A part of them is nether, umaterialized and unrealized. Because it is childlike, it is amorphous. Unshapeable, dynamic, infinite. Symbols have this nature, and a genii is part symbol. In the stories those who find genii are granted a few wishes, but the way the wish is fulfilled is nebulous. In order to avoid ambigueity, you must have a precise vision when you ask for what you want. The ritual to incarnate celestial consciousness on earth was a move of desperation. The awakening of the genii is messy, a blur of potential. The stones once created belong to their mother hand. The one who held it. They cannot change ownership, unless they are inherited.

You misunderstand. It was the past age's burden to save the world from itself. In this new time, the challenge becomes who is willing to teach the world to save itself. Moreover who is able.

The current election is nothing in the script aside perhaps a shadow of this story. The players in cast shadows upon which the puppets dance. They arent in the book, but are framed by its authors.
