Alright, I've been tongue-tied for a while and I should type this before I forget/become unaware of the story-side.

I'll start off with my character's potential, but I should begin at the very beginning - since the introduction of the story aspect of the wiki. I neglected this entire thing and was more interested in the other aspects of the wiki (the pets and ideas - the latter to a minimal extent). The reason for that was I DID somewhat plan to contribute to these "roleplays" as I've kind of regarded all this initially, but I wasn't in the right mind to tamper with that and so I "watched" as it went (not completely, as I did help with the Resistance! and the incorporation of the Axe of Chaos).

Despite that, I did make my own character which turned out to be a trollsona of mine - Hankvi Guidza - and merely regarded him as a minor character with next to no backstory and simply "worked" while the other characters were away. Or drunk, much to my chagrin.

Then The Great Disappearance of 2012 happened but with that the stories expanded rapidly.

Involvement with these stories was as expectedly minimal until the introduction of Absolutely Nothing, and especially, The Dark Emissary. I was somewhat overjoyed and thought to develop Hankvi, knowing that not much can be added to the storyline and taking the limelight more often than not. I wrote Memories of Fan-Ball with the plot being Stick Ranger-based. I might not remember when but around that time I've thought of the Submachine Subplot - my own storyline - as well as The Dictator who simply was Hankvi with a dark past.

Then Mori (and LAT as well) gave a major push with reintroducing the storyline with The Planet's Shadow, by adding the Ludusian witches, and so I wrote my own chapter in my own words and in my own desired direction centering somewhat on Issus' potential romantic tie (but still require the OTHER part as well as some fixes to the part that I already wrote).

Then there were timelines, where each regarded as their own storyline being separated to their own.

Since my character is less involved in the storyline that was written, I'm sort of alright with it. The timelines are a great way to show off what that character could've done. I wrote Hankvi's interactions with the established storyline, knowing the limitations to the best of my ability but I still thought of how Hankvi could have a bit more of his character developed by looking at what was written and then thinking this out without majorly altering the course of the stories, just by being present but not "useless".


 * Insert separator here*

Now for the matter of main timelines and potential storyline modification: This isn't just about my character, but the deal with the regard of the main timeline. What I think is that there are many timelines and would be hard to conform having the main timeline being Nu or Delta or anything else other then the current Alpha. There are timelines where it does concern and connect from the Alpha and there are some which doesn't really concern all that much (such as the Space Mech AU/"Upsilon" (still wasn't really confirmed)).

I can't really see what was the original plan for the stories up until WTU2 but if World in Ruins is involved then I just don't see the connection with Nu - being a total dystonia that would "end" with Zach slaying Lord Nazca... unless I'm mixing in what Mori had planned as established as well.

Step back for a sec, but I seem to be getting the vibe that Fire is confusing the Delta/ZedEx with another Delta. I don't "bean to butt in", but carry on with the Pi timeline if that's what you intended.

To conclude at what I'm trying to bring a point in this without sounding like a rabid fanatic, we could keep the established storylines separate to- say- "Alpha-Archaic" while the rewrites/remakes could be kept as-is. Problems would be potential duplication and the sake of the "canonical" status from the original storywriters.

I may have missed some points in this comment, despite sounding on-point. The cause for having less interest in this and more in other places, like end-college preparation.
