The Walkers

27 September 2007 - 01:42 PM

For those who read my Intro post, i made note of a story i was working on. Well this is were the "Work" part is going to be done.

Like i said, I'm no avid fan, i still have some kinks in my knowledge of NiGHTS, thats why as i write this, feel free to critic my work.
Sketches of characters will be available under certain time constraints, so ill see how much i can get done. I fully DONT consider this a FANFIC because NiGHTS or Reala aren't present, the only reason it is related to NiGHTS is because the characters of Guardians look like them. (NOTE: they do make Cameo's as normal guardians in the story)

Anyway, here is the Plot...taken from the intro post.

The planet know as Perish...a world that is nothing like our own. a Race that is human, yet at the same time isn't. Angels in human skin, people with abilities that we can never seem to understand. One such ability granted to these people was vision into the dream world, having been able to uncover the mysteries of the dream and thought, this race had been focused on making the mind a powerful tool. Unfortunately, it came at a price. The walkers developed a machein that can bring dreams to life, not full dreams, but items or people from them, and it could do the same for Nightmares.

Perish has a strange orbit around its twin suns. 24 hours of sunlight, and 48-72 hours of darkness depending on the seasons. During these longs NiGHTS, the Nightmares would awaken from the minds and dreams of the Walkers, and plauge the land with evil. At first, it was a simple problem to be delt with, but when the Nightmares began to grow in power, and actually start doing damage, things went out of hand. This is where NiGHTS esp looking characters, and the Dreamers come in.

NiGHTS and others are considered "Guardians of the Walkers" (use NiGHTS and Reala to describe what the Guardians look like). They are not created by nature, but created by the dreams of Children who have the gift of Sight, an ancient power that can create magical warriors. These Children were quickly gathered to the cities in the sky for protection and given the task of creating the "guardians" through dreams. It was a complete success and over 50 guardians had been created. For the first few years, these guardians began to push back the Nightmares and as time progress, the Walkers began to reclaim their cities.

Alas, not all went according to plan, one Guardian called An�r began to fuse with the Nightmares he killed, gaining more powers then the others. At first this was ignored, but when he started to rally Nightmares into Death Squads, things took a turn for the worse.

The returning walkers were killed outright, their cities burnt to the ground. Many of the children and their Guardians were slaughter as Aner took them as the priority target (Children have a "link" with their guardians, kill the child, kill the guardian, Aner didn't have a link when he fused with all the nightmares he killed). From the ashes, many survivors fled to the last of the floating cities high in the mountains. It was here a young girl created the "Key Gaurdian" the one that could control all the other Guardians and stop An�r. The Guardian's name was Gyne, and she wielded the Key Staff, the tool to seal Nightmares in the Realm of Darkness.

Unfortunately, Aner found out, and began to attack the city, after the brutal battle, both the child and her Guardian were lost, the Nightmares ruled Perish.


The story is not over...no it has just begun.
Now the real battle begins.

Human colonist of the Space Exploration Force, located Perish. At this time, the planet was barren; ruin cities, massive overgrown forests and large peaks, snowy wastelands, much like Earth. Fortunatly these colonist were not without arms. Like all Planet occupations, the firsts team to go down was armed Troopers and Ironsheild Armored personnel carries inside a Dropship. This is where we meet the main character, Sargent Malcolm. It is he and his men who come across the ruins of the city, and the first Nightmares. Pulse weapons seem very effective against these creatures, bullets not as much. It is these men who begin to learn what happened with this planet, soon enough, they drop a full military force down there to see what they can do, but suffer to Aner and his Warriors.

Malcolm soon comes across a ruin city and thats where they find Alexi, the child (now teenager) who created Gyne, but lost her when the city crashed into the feild. She tells the men everything, and they to their superiors. The mission becomes the job of finding this "Key Gauridan" Stopping Aner and brining peace back to Perish...i wont say what happens, but the rest of the story is the fight against Aner and the finding of the Key Gaurdian.

Well?

what you think?

TechMaster isn't in this story, he is in a NiGHTS FanFic that i will post after this one.

All details on characters and equipment will be posted soon

Greetings one and All

Well...this is a question, how does one say "hello"?
I guess the answer is to take it from the top.

Greetings one and all, its a pleasure to be here among the ranks of NiGHTS fans. I'm shouldn't consider myself a dire fan of the franchise for i have only recently come to enjoy it.

What i CAN consider myself, is as a writer. I currently am taking courses on writing prose and fiction. i really was impressed with the story line of the NiGHTS game, i did play the game once, way back when on my friends Sega Saturn when NiGHTS had recently came out. It was a very cool game for its time and i really enjoyed it. Now...sometime later, i have came back to enjoying the game once again.

As i noted before, i am a writer, and fantasy and sci-fi are the two genera i work with the best. For sometime i have been planning a Nighs story... no not a fan fic, but a true to deal story using NiGHTS, Reala, and some personal characters in a setting of great mystery and terror. TechMaster is the name of one of the Villains of the story, but as to what he did i will not say. All i can bear to tell is that the idea and setting are like this:

NiGHTS and others are considered "Guardians of the Walkers". The walkers live on a planet that is nothing like our own, a technologically advanced race that has been able to uncover the mysteries of the dream, of thought and of the mind. Using this knowledge they created machines to fabricate the very dreams they make, creating fascinating things and harnessing the power of thought to achieve the impossible. Alas, its not only dreams that are effected by this...but Nightmares too...Reala becomes one such nightmare.

I wont say anymore, i fear i may have said to much already ^_^
Just keep in touch and you might get to know more about this little fiction soon enough

Peace all
