Aspies For Freedom

Mentioned it before in some previous threads but I will write about it specifically in this thread.

I was first thinking that the action should mainly be placed in space, but I really liked the thought of placing "the devil" or his temporary name Saccarine Sorlakk in a setting which is similar to something in between world wars, the northern Ireland conflict and African terrorist groups. I think I should read more about the things I've taken inspiration of, but first fantasy, then finesse.

I've decided that there are alot of different areas and planets in this one fantasy realm, in some of the areas/planets people have more technology than in others. And then there's those areas where you find aliens and nature's power at its extreme, like storms of different kinds.



The setting in one of these areas is in an oldfashion, european-style and partially urbane city. With some really huge concrete buildings in some areas. The idea of this area is that there's alot of feelings connected to all those boring grey buildings, people have experienced hard occurences by such buildings. And then there's the war and alot of gun drama, which guess I should read some facts about

(I only know that a bullet move from 800 meters per second to 5000 m/s which make it impossible for Final Fantasy characters to hear them before they hit, because sound is only going in about 300 m/s, if it isn't really high frequent sound)

There are few organisations who could be qualified to dominant almost anywhere in that area, there's alot of conflicts between those who fight to become dominant. The war happens on the street(no nature areas nearby currently). There's alot of fear towards strangers because there's no official rules and you never completily know the affiliation of a stranger.

A stranger, typical that people would wear pirate-like clothes.



And then there's the devil, Saccarine, his connection to this world is a bit complicated, especially how he can travel between this world and other solar systems. I am not sure if I will have him grow up in this area, but he will become a legendary leader and a silent killer/assassin there at least after he gets his beard.



The humans who take care of him during his childhood  either get to know or already know that he is half alien when he grows up. The alien specie he is half of is hated by the humans as it is a currently almost extinct specie which once terrorized humans somehow. He possibly look human at start but begin to look more and more like his relative aliens.

During the time he grows up signs seem to indicate that a mix between the alien and human specie wasn't meant to be, he might just suddenly bleed, it is difficult for him to walk etc. The humans make some brutal solutions with metal implants etc. to fix him. Later he is used as a weapon of the humans because of his great potential in fights, he is never given a gun however but deadly whips and fist weapons. Later he escapes, possibly to a different solar system somehow. He will be known as alive to his childhood planet for about 150 years, during which he returns as a leader of a group, he possibly reappear at the planet after those 150 years however as a mythic legend.

I like the plot. Congratulations!

Thanx!

Because travel between solar systems is highly unrealistic I'll probarbly make an all-in-one solar system with lots of different settings.

*Raises hand* Ooh ooh! I know of a theory of instentanious space travel by using worm holes (they're sort of like black holes but don't have a singularity and are held up by anti-gravity) to link any two places no matter the distance together. Then you just cross over instantly. The only limitations is that it would have to be done far away from large gravatationaly disturbances like nearby planets, and it would have massive energy requirments.

I wondered if I would have a gaint canon and "canonball-reciever" in each established solar system. The gaint canon launces a vehichle in a speed higher than light speed against a canonball-reciever which stops the "canonball-vehichle" as well as drains energy from the impact. I wonder if time in high speed would be a problem.

I think the problem is deceleration and the whole you can't really brake the speed of light barrier problem. Like I said, worm holes.

I know close to nothing about the Fantasy genre...  This storyline is in my league, though! Is the city all thought up or do you use places from memory, like those Rome-picture's in another thread?

You also instead have fairly close together solar systems (0.5 to 1 light-year), ships capable of a good fraction of the speed of light (50% to 75%), reducing travel time to a year or so. Cryonics and space stations inbetween systems could futher fix the problem.

More on cryonics: you could have a ship with a crew rotation perhaps having 25% of the crew up at any given time.

Final caculations: about four months to get to a close by system, only one month is expirenced with cryonics, and in two expirenced weeks you would be at a midway station.

DNEB (sorry for all the posts). Nine months to get to a near by system, three months one week with cryonics, and one month two weeks three days six hours to the midway station (Now I know what it feels like to be Data ).

There's very little decelaration in space because you don't really hit much air except for thin amounts of hydrogen.

If an asteroid moves from the sun in a speed of 13000 m/s, and the sun sends light in the opposite direction in a speed of 299792458 m/s. The light moves from the asteroid in a speed of 13000 + 299792458 m/s. So I don't really believe in the you can't break the speed of light limit. Also, blue light moves a little bit faster than red light, gamma rays are faster than visual light.

Wormholes seems to be a very old theory which I guess isn't really that approved today. I guess it could be some kind of streams in the universe, probarbly started by something as powerful and drastic as a supernova. But I don't think streams could change distances in both directions. The usual theory about blackholes is that they are of immense mass and therefore have alot of gravety.
