Mytharc Ideas

right so alternative continuities:

1. More realistic physics in general (although still definitely a superheroic universe), more on the cynical side than the mainstream (but still definitely more idealistic in general)… Cara takes over after Elias’s death instead of dying in the same battle; five-year war becomes fifteen-year war, Kain and Ignatius die in it at some point, Lowen isn’t dead but in the absence of Lancer being operational is stuck offworld. Where Estragon/the first alt-Alexander comes from (Lieutenant General, rather than whatever rank he held in the main continuity, looks a lot like Dale Kuiper except with dark red hair and has his Morph Weapon). Helena’s solution to the fifteen-year war problem involves alt-Alexander using IRIS corruption to gain enough power to destroy their version of Cara; this might have led to this part of the entire mytharc, and thus alt-Helena is quite possibly the most important character to appear in one scene and nothing else.

2. IRIS-Darian’s continuity; mostly just the Good and Evil bits of her and Janelle’s alignments are swapped. Presumably everything else is as close to mainstream as it can be under these circumstances.

3. Heroic Elias and Cara. Yeah, I don’t know either. Probably where the slightly-older Lt. Col. Lowen Tremearne comes from, who’s the only alternate version of him in anything (probably because in most other for want of a nail situations he winds up dead or close to)

As they just get progressively less and less detailed after that, most of the rest are also just ’single character continuities’. Maybe they’ll get fleshed out later.

Tournament Arc probably includes a Dale vs. Serena fight at some point.

Serena: “But really, I’d say we ran out of distractions that actually worked back when you tried to break your losing streak by proposing to me–”

Dale: “I nev– it was your losing streak! You were trying to break it by agreeing.

S: “Oh, is that so? Because it’s certainly not the way I remember it.”

D: “… :l”

S: “:D”

*single-stroke battle*

*both fall over*
