"The most recent hit is the word Focii"

This seriously better not be a reference to my RP.

How does the UAW chase down new bloodlines that develop sponatainously? Your idea slots in WAY to easily to the timeline I'm in. Or the other way around in your case. You are free to intergrate if you need to. No being on Earth is perfect, so the UAW may have missed the intallation, or just plain ignored it as they could have made their own version of the USE and the sheer commonality of the psuedo focus made it sort of pointless. However, a sponatainous mutation that results in near complete changes would catch their attention. There are medical uses for the USE as well. The word Focii was an infranced hit, meaning the definition matched too closely to be different, but the word did not. There were bioluminece energized tight focus organic dye lasers in the entry as well as biological EMF transmitter/recievers. In the decade of 2000, a telekenisis effect was discovered involving microwaves. You implied that the Laws of Conservation of Energy, Mass, Momentum, Etc, so try not to break them! There are often ways "around" them. I do have a more proper charater in mind that has similar mental characteristics to Will's. No name or age yet.

He was born with "Laser fingernails" and a defective set of Enigma genes. He is an Authorized user of the USE and Project Genome, and was using it to try and make his in born lasers powerful enough to do more than melt ice and boil alcohol. Keyword, WAS. He got interupted while doing so by the UAW, only getting the chance to repair the bad genes with a virus he made in the USE. The OS of the node, programmed to recgonize potentally "treasonous" situations, forced a terminal lock down of all USE nodes to prevent abuse. His hair also expressed the dye and did so in a more effective manner, as it formed a natural fiber laser. The UAW had a similar system to USE set up and appearently had the same idea. He tried to fight, but to his dismay, his secondary morph was a snow lepord which has clear fur reveaing the dye rich cores, and as a result, spalled the concrete in the ceiling (the grain of the hair amped the light to destrucive levels as the fibers dasiy chained in the ambient light). He was peppered with debris and was detained. He was able to con his detainers to let him "fix" the laser. He exploited his mistake and reversed the grain of his now fur on his muzzle and darkened most of it to keep it in check, leaving the reversed strands white. Ambiant light was still a problem, so he made mask until he could sort out the pigment. He is now on the run with the refined spontainous mutation after rebeling.

And I don't, and f***ing refuse to. My story is MINE. You can not take it. It is an alternate reality to yours, if that will help you understand how much that In the Depths has NOTHING to do with you. Stop trying to incorporate it into your fanfic.

I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand. I. DON'T. WANT. ANYTHING. TO. DO. WITH. YOUR. STUPID. FANFIC. Stop trying to force me(or my ideas) to be part of it.

Also, deleting our previous posts here? Not cool. Once again:

It's mine. Stop trying to take it.

You seem to lack a proper backstory and I didn't claim it as mine nor do I intend to. The big problem at this point is this was something waiting to happen and it also explains how Will got in a coffin. People forget how to keep a world economy going (something that was bound to happen as people who remember the concequences of forgetting die off), it collapses, people who want a "New World Order" exploit the crisis (think Hitler and how he came to power and why and his obsession with wonder weapons (Fourth Riech anyone?)), take the tech from Project Genome and USE (which can simulate any organism, compound, or isotope in a manner that is so perfect), use it to do bad things and, to keep power, very good things, and it just goes down hill from there. Plasma drives for deep space were in development in the decade fo 2010, as were fusion reactors. Waste plasma from the reactor goes into drive, from that you have a practial interplanetary, if not interstellar spacecraft. Oh, and the rate of mutation skyrockets from reactor proliferation. We have the means, tech, physics, biology, psycology, and economy (which was so bad in 2043 a Repossesion war broke out and had to be completely rebuilt (Will has a yellow green thumb), which sets the next big@$$ crash to occur in about 80 years when those old enough to remember are too old to do any thing about it). I say again: This was something waiting to happen.

"You seem to lack a proper backstory and I didn't claim it as mine nor do I intend to."

This is good. BUT! What I want is not for you to avoid claiming it, but not to USE it. Get that through you thick skull, and, for the love of all that is holy, if you are going to try to argue a point with me, don't talk about non-related bulls***.

My main beef is that you are trying to use my idea without my permission. That, my annoying little acquaintance, is called stealing. Now, for the FIFTH time, stop attempting to do so. Next time you do so, I will go to a lawyer and find out what I can do. I'm not kidding.

"You seem to lack a proper backstory"

As for this part, just because I didn't write a 5-page essay on my RP doesn't mean that you can just take it and use it as history for your s***.

What I am trying to say is even IF I find out what happened, I'll likely be very similar, as China and the US became the only real powers left after 2043, and the US was very weak. China also captured most of the non-US USE nodes and likey the Chemsim (the software behind USE) kernel, enabling them to develop their own. Fusion was past the devolopmental phase and so was Plasma drives thanks to USE. All it would take to form the UWA would be a bad politition in the right spot of the US Gov. The proliferation of Fusion would also increase the rate of mutation as people can underestimate the danger. With China's policies at the time, inadaquate shielding would be commonplace (Ohoh, its just xrays (facepalm)). Space tourism would also be common (Mars resort, that will be 5 rems of cosmic rays, 1 rem of gamma, and quarter rem of x). Intentional mutations to make supermen would not be very suprising (what makes you think Mou Jr. won't be like Hitler, there is already a one child per family law that forces women to be "spayed" (I think I am remembering that correctly) so there is no telling what they would do with USE). I say again: What you set as a "backstory" is very likely in that enviroment. The decay of an atom is the closest thing to random one can get. The Xmen, I am Ledgend, My work (which I have put a lot more thought into the science of which than most any body else, the virus was just the mode of propagation and post conception insertion and expression), and other pop culture icons likely infulenced yours. Be warned, I work in these kinds of things. I am

A THEORICAL BIOLOGIST.

YOU'RE IN MY TURF NOW. You were the minute you brought genetics into play.

Not only does most of that completely irrelevant to this argument, your main points are untrue.

*Bunch of nonsense*

1)The Xmen, I am Ledgend, My work (which I have put a lot more thought into the science of which than most any body else, the virus was just the mode of propagation and post conception insertion and expression), and other pop culture icons likely infulenced yours.

2)Be warned, I work in these kinds of things. I amA THEORICAL BIOLOGIST.

3)YOU'RE IN MY TURF NOW. You were the minute you brought genetics into play.

1) My main problem is that you have claimed that your random bulls*** has influenced me. I first read that stuff YESTERDAY to check if you have used my ideas already. Other than that, this may correct. However, the the idea first came to me via lucid dreaming. So shut up.

2) Well good for you. That is nigh-completely irrelevant.

3) No, I'm not. I NEVER brought genetics into this: you did in an attempt to force my idea into your story. I'm in the STOP TRYING TO f***ING USE MY IDEA territory. And, just so you know, I have now warned you thrice and told you to desist six times, although you have deleted one of the warnings and demands, and will now check to see what action I can take against you.

I have used it else where and was made to "solve" a problem. You should try it too.

What. Explain this. In plain out English, not your stupid ass bulls*** that is completely irrelevant to my argument.

What. Explain this. In plain out English, not your stupid ass bulls*** that is completely irrelevant to my argument.

I speak for every person on the Forum when I say; "This."

Let me put it to you bluntly: There is little chance that what you call your idea will not be legaly different from what come up with are slim. A repo war occurs because a country cannot pay is debts but its citzens will not give up there property. The idea of a global government is not new. The war occured because America default (could not pay its bills) and Americans were being Americans. It was China's Veitnam. I then make the assumption that a bad person comes to power and sells out the USA. A crazy person then heads the New World Order. Crazy person is obsessed with "superpeople." Crazy person orders the creation of what you call Foci, but could be called anything. Expirements fail to self contain. There is the story you came up with right there. Will fights, again. Will has to live up to his name, again. Will gets shot in the head, again. Will is in casket. Will gets out of casket before burial. Will scratches words on casket. Will runs off on all fours. SAME DAMN STORY FLEASHED OUT IN THE EYES OF A LAWER. AND THE ONLY THING THAT CAN REALLY BE CHANGED IS THE CRAZY PERSON AND THE RESULTS OF HIS BEING OF POWER. YOUR STORY IS ALMOST CERTAINLY TRUE IN PART TO MINE BEACUSE OF THE WAR AND CASKET FORCES A FAIRLY STRICT CHAIN OF EVENTS!!!

I am sorry, but the damage is done, the mold is set, the chase is inked, and there is little anyone can do about it. At least it didn't seem to really catch on.

*sigh*

Okay, look. What you posted up there is in theory a mostly different story in comparison to what Zjean's is. The problem is that none of this ever surfaced prior to the time In The Depths came about, and you even claimed IN THAT TOPIC that it was, at the very least, a DIRECT influence on yours (not to mention borderline THEFT). Zjean has stated several times that he does not approve of this. You have spouted nothing less than irrelevance each time he pushed this matter. Be careful where you tread next.

I did bring proof of an event that didctates conditions. Will really only gets shot in firefights. Will only gets in fire fights for his property, country, and life. Ergo, someone got really stupid in the year 2200. Stupid enough to cause a war. Assuming large amouns of resources, Will will only backup a rebellion or proper war against totalairinism. Some one must have a reason to rebel against something 150+ years old. Dissent rate would be too low for that to be it. However, a small seed planted in small group with tons of firepower WILL work. The robots are not going to side with the global gov't, but they can only hack safely. Will's littl' bit of free land would plant seeds daily, however, it is doubtful that it is enough. Some inside work must be done.

I have no real problems with the above synopsis, but, as LZ has said, none of this seems to have appeared before In The Depths, which is what I have a problem with. Put yourself in my shoes for a moment. I post something that you quite obviously attempt to fit into your preexisting story, which I refuse to let happen. You later claim that you are going to use my ideas for your own story- and I have photographic evidence of this- and then claim again later, in this very blog, that you were going to do so, both of which I have protested, and will continue to do so. You even SAID that it was a reference to my RP, of course, you also deleted this post.

Take the whole idea of Focuses(or Foci, or whatever) out of your story, that is ALL I am asking, as that seriously looks like you're trying to steal my idea.

And how, exactly, does this relate?

It doesn't. His head is only place any of this makes sense.

I cannot garentee much because a guild has formed between me, LZ, and Epic. I cannot garentee their actions. And I myself am slow on the uptake. You have any idea as to why an appearnly...wiat, new leader who does not know history. I also say that I may use the concept and apply science to it. I already did that to William before you came up with the idea. I don't think such things will have a name.

Christ, both of you give it a rest. Zjean, as a writer I understand why you're mad, but you're overreacting. Tracker, act like a human for once in your life, quit spouting nonsense, and listen to Zjean so you can compromise. Alright?

It relates because as small group with incrdible power (small because convincing 80% of the popualtion to commit treason is impossible unless they are really suffering), such as yours, must have raised hell internally to make Will think the time to end the madness had come. Research the Nazi cult and you will find the mentality to make this happen. Hitler came to power because Germany had suffered economic collapse. The exact same conditions were present in the year of 2043, so who said history didn't repeat itself. We might be good at breaking into networks and causing mayhem, but it is safe to assume they would fix it very quickly.

I have also noticed that you could drop people from your story into the XMEN universe and they would be right at home.

United World Alliance has a genaric overtone to it.

Thus I think the most original thing you have done thus far is the naming the abilities ith a proper name, something that noone else has done.

"Thus I think the most original thing you have done thus far is the naming the abilities ith a proper name, something that noone else has done."

And THIS, right here, is my f***ing point. As I said earlier, all I want is for you to remove the idea of superpowers called Focus/Foci from your story, as that is my idea.

"United World Alliance has a genaric overtone to it."

This I'll agree with. In The Depths is a futuristic story. If you'll look at Ender's Game, Halo, and several other futuristic stories, you'll see that a single government based in Earth is a very common theme.

"I have also noticed that you could drop people from your story into the XMEN universe and they would be right at home."

One could drop almost ANY superpowered person into the Marvel universe and have them fit in. It IS a bunch of comics about superheroes.

And I still don't see how the history of your story has anything to do with my main argument, detailed above. But about that first sentence, I must say this: the UWA isn't a "small group of people", it's the elected government of the people, much like that of the United States. And it is my made up government, which is in a different dimension as your story, detailed below, so your character Will wouldn't be able to do s*** to them.

Here is a good reason as to why you cannot use the idea of Focuses/Foci that you should hopefully understand:

Reality is actually composed of several different dimensions, all branching from one central dimension. Each time a world changing event occurs, a new dimension is created. For example, in one dimension, a group of terrorists set of a biological bomb, creating a race of anthropomorphic people. However, in the central dimension, this event never occurred, thus creating a new dimension(yours, in case you couldn't figure that out). To further this example, in another, mankind starts developing abilities known as Focuses/Foci, coincidentally at the same time they start space exploration. As with the biological weapon, this event never occurred in the original dimension, creating yet another new dimension(mine, obviously). Because of how new dimensions are made, they are interlinked, but never coincide. As such, people of one dimension will never have knowledge of others, no matter their level of technology.

This is why I say with certainty that AIV exsit.

I never denied that anything existed. I've denied that my idea takes place in your story. Seriously, just remove it.

Well, we do have things similar, but nameless, to focii. That may be the problem. You gave it a name and I defaulted to it when I found the reference with out a name. I don't get along with empty data fields very well.

There is one thing that should resovle this and force timeline seperation: Answer the question how did this mess get here? What I mean by mess is the current state of your story. Set something up to exclude the possiblity of a crossover.

There is one thing that should resovle this and force timeline seperation:

1)Answer the question how did this mess get here? What I mean by mess is the current state of your story.

2)Set something up to exclude the possiblity of a crossover.

1) Because of you. You have refused to listen to my requests that you not take my idea and put it into your fanfic. Hence, we now have this whole argument, all because you seem to lack the ability to actually pay attention.

2) I already did this, and you have it quoted at the beginning of this page. The two stories take place in different dimensions, and as such, they cannot communicate, no matter what technology one has. On top of that, as I have said repeatedly, it is my idea. Just because it is somewhat similar to other ideas doesn't mean you have the right to take it as your own. If you want to have superpowers in your fanfic, fine. Just don't call them Focuses or any derivative.
