Shattered Hope V-- Coming Soon!

If anyone reads this, just know that Zero and I are still active. However, as you may have noticed, the site isn't. Once these things die, they're awfully hard to revive.

Announcing...

The newest installment of the Shattered Hope story! It is the year 600AZ. It has been twenty-two years since the Solar Saiyan known as Auron used his policing agency to wrest control of the cosmos from the martial artists that stood against him. The resistance is weakened and there's only one thing that could change the tide of battle...

YOU!

I swear this will happen eventually, person-who's-reading this.

Is that so?

Probably. ;-;

I mean. Im here now

Good to have you back, then.

So what's been up since then, man?

(X) Riza's 8ack?! OH LORD HELP US!!!!
...
*cough* *cough* I mean, how ya doin', honeycake? *awkward (g)rin*

Well. Adulting mostly. Believe it or not. I own a actual Buisness now. My god

(X) oh, wow! It's not a mafia, is it? XD
*has nothing particularly impressive I've done* Well, um...I can make cookies! XD

So what have you lot been up to?

What's the business, mate?

A lot of brain bowling. We're going to Chicago soon for the ICT. Oh, I'm dual-enrolled now. That's... about it.

Dear God, first of all, why the hell do I keep coming back to this site? Second, well...how the heck did you guys deal with me during all that cringeworthy stuff? Makes my stomach turn looking back at it. I'm not exactly expecting a reply here, mostly just to see if I can settle my conscious a bit. Dear Lord...

Don't worry about it. I do the same with the very first site I was on. But still. I find myself.coming back here as well. I never really can quite get these characters out of my head forever.

Mm. You guys were a big part of my personality change I think. But hey! Isn't it cool! I caught you before 24 hours was up!

XD You know even though I don't RP them anymore, my little characters from here keep on growing and getting themselves into trouble XD I would like to see the site alive again, I wish I hadn't just stayed silent when Rick and Zero called out for remaining players for the new site.

Artik got himself stuck somewhere ridiculous and died. Finally. But I’m alive. I miss this. I miss all of you. It’s weird—almost for as long as this site has been dead I’ve been playing actual DnD and you’d think that would scratch my role playing itch but if anything I just want to take what I’ve learned and make an even better shattered hope. I’ve never stopped thinking about the time I’ve spent here and I’ll carry those memories fondly forever.

That said, I’ll always want to bring this back. We may never will. I’ll have to be okay with that. I’m nearly a year late in asking this and I’m fully aware how much you all may have changed and how much you’d move away from this. I can’t expect anyone to put in any amount of time to revive an outdated concept on a dead format that will likely never see any new players outside the handful of us. But god, you guys, I’d have a lot of fun clinging to this with you.

-The Player Formally Known As Artik

Gotta admit. I miss it too. In the time.since we've split.up I moved across the entire continent started working full time, and even started a long term relationship. But I really never stopped thinking about this place. Riza, Maynin, Artik. I still think.about all the things theyve yet to do.

Miss y'all. Lets make a discord while we're at it.

Sounds good to me, Oran

https://discord.gg/RPzJAsQ Here you are! Artik/Auron/Hunter(like that name tbh)/Ryuzaki(?), email/pm me whenever you need me, I'm usually on discord as well. Also, that link is a permanent one, so you can make an announcement post if you would like. I try to check this place at least once a day, so you can also check the chatbox in the home page of this website.

-Your friendly neighborhood friend, David "Oran" Valdez.

Thanks homeslice; my parents anticipated the starving times in my life, I reckon

I’ll be in touch. We need to try and get on the same page soon about what we want to do here but I kind of want to see who else might come back. I mean, definitely hopefully Maynin but who knows who else

Of course, the more I think about it the more I’m starting to think it’s just like ten people in the history of these things

Could be. But with just 10 people a good campaign is surely brewing. I really like the DnD idea, more open form of doing these things, and we don't have to rely so heavily on the dragon ball theme, unless you'd want to. Of course, it's D&D, the game with the least and the most rules.

That’s a good point. I’m open to moving away from DBZ and coming into our own thing. Give it the ol’ Fifty Shades treatment. There’s a lot of DBZ that really breaks the game but we kept because we were expected to. I mean it’d be a much better game if death were meaningful and not a bonus level.

Some of what I’ve been thinking about in the last couple of weeks is:

•It’s been at least 25 years since the last post on here
•Those space cops Auron was leading or something have taken over a role of universal governance, tightly guarding internal borders and cracking down on beings that are stronger than, say, a power level of 1,000 that didn’t swear allegiance to them and help them fight rebels or something. I guess like hide and seek meets X-Men? They exclusively take prisoners and refuse to execute them, since death has historically been bullshit and stupid.
•The dumbass god saiyans I thrust unto us fled with a bunch of Seraphim when things started to get tense since they got options and they don’t have much stake in this universe
•Id leave it open what happened to you guys’ characters but I kind of see either they disappeared by going into hiding or fled to another universe or they’ve been captured and imprisoned or conscripted by the space cops guys.

Like that’s the bones of it but I’m open to anything at this point and I want to see what you guys think. I don’t want to further George Lucas this into the ground

As someone who has been here since the before times. It's always been a group of about 10 people that carry the torch. At first it was Keitaro, Alex Ruler, Ken and I. Then eventually you shits.

We need to set a date in the nearish future to get to work, if no-one else returns. I know it seems a little bleak either repairing or building a site for about three people until the dubious arrival of others, but I'm more than a little worried that nothing will be done should wait much longer.

I'll join in, if you'll have me. I know I was really hard to deal with before.

If needed, I can ask a few others from a different rp to check it out.

Really glad to hear from you guys again!
