Plot
Basic plot outline!
except the issue is that i have no plot because i only do worldbuilding.
TLDR: Silvik (scifi coffee shop owner) has to take care of Mythia (random child), Pri'ilimus (sickly govt official), and Anhil (the sickly govt official's partner in crime) unwillingly. They somehow get involved in a galaxy-wide conspiracy. Let the chaos begin!
The General Idea:
The General Idea:
"Planetai" - asters planetai, my wandering stars. Or in modern terms, planets. Fitting for a scifi, no?
Planetai follows a small group of people who, for one reason or another, washed up together. They all come from all backgrounds and have experienced the world around them to a varying degree, but as they get to know eachother, they carve out a little comfortable place to exist in the chaotic world.
> Mythia is a kid from Baktle who was sent out to "see the world" by his family to have him avoid getting caught in the political turmoil of his home planet. Being only fourteen, he still hasn't figured out what it means to live in the world, much less his own place in it. But as he runs into Silvik and the others, he expands his horizons while making some lifelong friends and a trusty support network for his journeys through the galaxy.
> Silvik is a war refugee and a human that has abandoned his former home, Terra (Earth). Haunted by the horrors of war and betrayal, Sil has emotionally shut himself off from the world. With the intervention and Mythia though, he's slowly learning to appreciate everything for what it is. Runs a coffee shop out of his spaceship that he oh-so-creatively named "coffee".
> Pri'ilumus comes from a family of successful politicians, and had always expected to be one himself. With his recent diagnosis with the terminal disease Derio however, he's realizing the importance to experiencing the world. Deciding to use his remaining time to leave a mark on the world, he's making sure to push for important legislation as well as having as much fun as possible while he's at it. After running into Myth and Sil, he's decided that he'll be joining them on their humble little journey aboard Sil's ship as well.
> Anhil had always been shunned due to her physical appearance, being born looking eerily similar to the god of destruction within Igati religion. Leaving her home to escape the institutional hatred, she runs into Pril who gives her a place to stay and work. Now serving as both his best friend and "attendant" in formal settings, Anhil wishes to help those like herself and contribute to Pril's goals of creating greater equality. Sill learning about the world, she takes great interest in learning new things from the people around her.
All four of these people end up staying on Silvik's ship and living together, either unwillingly or willingly, at the expense of Silvik's peace and quiet. As they learn more from each other, former comrades and enemies from Silvik's life return in wake of shifting political turmoil under the surface, later resulting in a full blown coup d'etat on Baktle and refugee faction conflicts backed by larger governments and organizations.
> really just a mess of broken people and politics.
Not exactly a "power of friendship" type story, but one about the impacts of war and human nature in context of an idealistic greater world past the bounds of Earth.
But first, some notes:
But first, some notes:
Hey so one thing I have been consistant about is that the story is inconsistent. Literally spending all of my time on worldbuilding because I can't write. Anyway so if things don't make sense, apologies. It doesn't make sense to me either.
Some characters change their names as time passes, especially the human characters that leave Terra (/"Earth"). Here are some for reference:
Silvik Nalun (EC/current) - Hey so I actually forgot what his name was supposed to be. Originally was "Syln" but I hate it so... I'm taking suggestions. DM me.
Lynson D'Ambe (EC/current) - Lindon Caillot (Terra/birth name)
"Vikky" (Terra) - Vikia Ahlmun (Dakna/current/birth name)
Also note that Terra is called "Earth" by its inhabitants, the humans. I will use these two terms interchangably.
Timeline:
Timeline:
the concept of a "timeline" gets a bit difficult since the Eganian Confederation has its own time system, and I am hesitant to rely too much on Terra's time keeping system. For now, a vague flow of events.
These events are in chronological order, and are NOT how the sequence of events will be portrayed in the final product.
A vague flow of world events that is relevant to the plotline
Ego-Earth War: ~20 yrs
War between Terra and a portion of the Eganian Confederation over... no one really knows. One day they just started attacking each other. (And definitely not for monopolistic reasons).
Wartime efforts in the EC include various information networks headed by spies as well as drafting and training soldiers. Although the draft is justified in official records, many who were related to those drafted intensely disapprove.
A retaliatory attack from Terra is sabotaged, directly leading to the capture of prominent political leaders on Terra. The Ego-Earth War is officially declared over.
Leads to an age of mass immigration from the destroyed Terra to the EC > the people of the EC carry biases against the humans from the years of war, tensions break out all over the galaxy.
EC passes definitive legislation against the immigration of humans to the EC, travel is not outright banned but is made increasingly difficult. Those who are already out of Terra are actively tracked down and shipped back to the ruined planet.
End of Ego-Earth War - Baktle Revolution ~7 yrs
In protest to the EC's devastation of Terra, various organizations are formed world-wide. The most prominent of which include the "Alliance", based in Hiwan, composed mainly of refugees of planets that have been wronged by the EC.
Lekon, hidden away from Eganian/EC supervision, continue its morally-grey tactics to gain an information advantage in locations around the galaxy. There are a series of assassinations of political figures in smaller countries and planets that are later tracked down to Lekon.
A Lekonian base of operations that wasn't recorded by the EC is exposed on Naava after locals report large explosions and fire in a secluded area of the southern continent.
The Peacekeepers, a "pacifict activist" organization emerges in Dakna, and quickly gainst support in refugee camps throughout the galaxy.
Baktle's people resist EC forced legislation after its representatives sign to join the Eganian Confederation, ultimately resulting in a coup d'etat sponsored by anti-EC organization the Alliance, headed by former Baktle military general Zylok.
The EC declares the Alliance as a terrorist organization, sending out military to crush the rebellion on Baktle.
How the characters are connected/impacted by these events (chronological)
"Silvik", Lindon, Jay, and Anton all grow up in an era of war and economic struggle. Although they are not initially actively at the warfront, they eventually end up being involved in wartime efforts against the Eganian Confederation.
"Vikky" crashes onto Earth and the group of friends help her, unknowing that she is a spy sent by the LSA (Lekon's Government).
"Vikky" is a key factor in the sabotauge of Terra's final attack, leading to the end of the war. The others learn of her status as a spy, and are split.
Silvik, Vikia ("Vikky"), Lynson (Lindon), and Anton leave Terra for various reasons following the war, and mostly to escape from the Terra government as they are now wanted for conspiration with a spy and betraying Terra. They all have different views of Vikia's choices, ranging from compassion to outright hostility.
Silvik and Vikia leave for Lekon, where Vikia's younger brother is held hostage.
Lynson and Anton leave for Hiwan, in search of other refugees.
Jay decides to stay behind on Terra and help with recovery efforts - her face isn't known by the government, she isn't at risk like the others.
Anton is recruited into the Alliance by a senior member known as Zylok.
Lynson finds himself on a planet called Baktle, which has only been added to the EC recently. On the streets, he meets a scientist named Eleuthar, and her guide, Yashiya.
Vikia and Silvik gather other victims of the Lekon spy operations and raid a base near Tenotill, Naava. They succeed in burning down the HQ and free Luxim, Vikia's younger brother.
Hiding from the Lekon government once more, Vikia, Luxim, and Silvik move to Dakna.
Silvik takes on the label of "nann", and bleaches his hair white.
Anton, now a full fledged member of the Alliance, asks to meet Vikia alone on Granil
Vikia is assassinated
Silvik leaves Dakna and finds himself crashing with Lynson in Lekon for three years.
Luxim emerges as the founder and leader of the new pacifist organization, the Peacekeepers.
