Ok, since the basic frame work has been agreed upon by a majority. We should now bridge out and create some fluff, a paragraph at most, on something/someplace we each want to create. By doing this we can get a good handle on where everyone is going.

Oh..um...uh-oh, my brain stopped again.

Please let us know what you don't understand.

So have you guys decided on the solar system as a hub for all the different planes as the standard model?

No, I understand. It was just a process. Work nine days in a row and that happens to your brain, you see. Especially shortly after you wake up.

were you going to create a template for each sphere?

Mikail's Spacers
Admiral Mikail (something that sounds Russian and ends in "in") has become an embarassment to the United Earth Government.  He became a hero during the war against the Xenanths and Xenarths, but his old-style ravings about the evils of capitalism and popularity made him a liability.  He was too high profile for the United Earth Council to simply have disappeared or shot.  So he was put in charge of the UEGSS Nova, the Earth's first extra-solar jump-drive powered colony ship.  The jump went very very wrong.  The Nova landed on a planet where the humanoid inhabitants worship giant beasts that roam the planet.  The shamans can do things that might as well be called magic.

@Lium: i think we decided that if you make a plane, you can choose which planes you can access it from. I think that people will one rarely say anything except Hub since they often don't know of other peoples' ideas and have developed their own idea without always considering other planes.  
@ Vreeg: like some kind of standard form (entire sphere or just overview) we can fill out or what were you thinking?

As far as ideas go i'll have to think about that...
Probably a small civilization that combines technology and magic.

A realm that disregards the logic of the outside world, a place where things exist as they are interesting and not as they should be.  The most modern street imaginable, but ascend the skyscrapers and you find yourself on top of a mountain peak above the clouds, a martial arts monastery rising in front of you.  Approach a sandy beach and behold the wonders of an entire desert civilization.  Creatures almost obscene in their fantasticness stalk the whateverscape; the kuusou, the chimeric natives, have dispensed with the singular form altogether.  If you can find mu, the essence of a dream, you may visit and stay and make a place for yourself.  But beware the akumu, those who delight in fooling others into self-torture, who live in the moping realms.  And beware arrogance, for the Musouka, the Dreamer, will not be broken to the will of anyone.

Enter a world without sky, without suns, moons or stars. Enter Xi, the great hollow space surrounded on all directions by unfathomable depths of firm soil. In the inverted world, light is provided by the Heaven's Gate - ever brilliant, ever swirling cloud of aetheric steam that is the visible manifestation of a large wormhole leading to the hub of the worlds. Illumination in Xi never ceases, never dims; there is no cycle of night and day, no changing of seasons. On the ground level, black-leaved branches of Stega-trees twist and spiral ever upwards under the eternal glow, while cyclopean cacti stand silently in the shadow of their parabolic light-gathering top-bowls. Cities of the Xiwids rise proudly on the shores of the many rivers and lakes of turquoise nectarium; massive towers of stone and metal connected at several levels by webs of covered bridges. Below them the honeycomb-like maze of alleys and bazaars conceals the uncouth masses long since forgotten by the masters of these overgrown metropoleis. Coursing through the orb-shaped athmosphere can be spotted the great windsock forms of the Lago-Lago beasts carrying the bio-augmented warriors of the Anointed caste, patrolling the airspace or heading for a mission beyond the Heaven's Gate.

Just a suggestion: since we're apparently past the debate as to whether to begin this project and how to do it, maybe we should make a clean thread where people can post their ideas? Then newcomers don't have to fight their way through a, now useless, discussion.

That's probably a good idea...and I should come up with something. I've been spending my time with mechanics and tailoring a modern setting to what I want lately and I would like to create again.

I have to agree, this thread should become the Discussion Thread.

We should come up with a name, unless everyone is happy with World-Spheres.

Rim-world
The Hub of Worlds
Circle of Spheres
(Path of) Horizons
I guess our shared symbolism is that there many worlds and the circular ring i guess our worlds make up as they circle the sun.

[blockquote=Silvercat Moonpaw]Believe that the world around you is yours to command and the entirety of Kyuumu will rise up against you. This is just my personal twist, the idea that dreams can't be controlled, only negotiated with.[/blockquote]I really like this idea, although thinking about the world-as-dream, are you planning on incorporating the idea of lucid dreaming in any fashion, where the dreamer assumes near god-like control over their own dream, having realized its artificiality?  Could the "Gods" of the Dreamtime actually be lucid dreamers?  Or is lucid dreaming perhaps the source of personally invoked "magic" in the setting?  Or as a collective rather than individual dream, does Kyuumu not provide for or even actively inhibit any form of lucid dreaming (is this in fact the source of the hostility towards the belief that the world is yours - the first step in lucid dreaming and apotheosis in a dream-world?)?
