Message: <blockquote data-quote="BlackJaw" data-source="post: 1132870" data-attributes="member: 888">Now for the binding hidden thread in the time line and our first messed up evil little underlying plot:A Cursed Family: Cursed family in the Lovecraftian vein.  Ancient germanic tribe claimed to have consorted and mated with demons but wiped out by invading Romans, later a wizard emerges from that same region during the dark ages but is killed by some act of fate mixed with bitterly tragic heroism.  Generations latter a pair of half-brothers of the family are Jewish German scientists working for the Nazis on secret projects based of ancient arcane texts found in their families possession.  The younger flees under questions of his heritage from his “strangely different brother” taking the plans and texts with him, but the elder remains until captured by the soviets years latter, still working to rebuild his now lost plans.  The younger brother’s plans are confiscated from him by US intelligence, and despite his wishes, they attempt a test teleport of a crewed ship... which results in tragedy.  The older brother eagerly agrees to work with Soviet scientist interested in rebuilding his project (as long as he keeps the arcane background of the project hidden and calls it all science).  In a remote outpost above the artic circle, he reaches his goal.  Years latter another member of that bloodline is present at the Mars base when things go wrong and demons enter the base through a new two-way gate.  Years after that another member of the bloodline is a scientist aboard the new FLT ship when it goes lost in the void during a demonstration space fold test.The Truth: The elder tribe of the region did mate with extra-planar entities and at least one of them survived the roman assault.  Generations latter a member of that bloodline becomes a powerful sorcerer/wizard and one of the warring warlocks that rule the void berg.  He, like the other wizards, travel freely back and forth between their towers and castles on the void berg, and earth.  He is defeated by a small group of heroes that interrupt some deal, ceremony, or right with an entity of beyond, and the wizard is destroyed or at least lost to the void.  But his soul was not destroyed, and he reaches out through the void to whisper into the ears of his bloodline.  He touches on the minds of many of his bloodline in many generations, not at all in a linear fashion.  His first grasp at reclaiming his heritage was in the future, attempting to hijack the mind of scientist working on an early precursor to the FLT drive on the Mars base.  He nearly succeeds, both opening a functional gate and in possessing the body and mind of his bloodline, but ill fate finds him defeated and killed before he can fully realize his goal of returning to his tower and former power.  Reaching farther forward in time, he seeks to posses a scientist in an advanced age where science is able to puncture the veil of reality with ease... but his bloodline of that generation, while very brilliant, was to diluted.  He succeeds in bringing the scientist (and a full crew of the humanities FLT space craft) to his void-island but fails to claim the mind and body of his bloodline, and so can not be reborn.  Trying again in what would be our past (WW2), he reaches out to the mind of the older half-brother, the one brilliant even beyond his younger half-brother’s genius. The older brother, assisted by his sibling, and aided ever by the voice in his dreams and head, makes many leaps forward despite the limited technology of the time… but with each successes, the older brother becomes more focused, consumed, and un-hinged.  Eventually the voice in his head becomes his own voice, and the ancient wizard’s soul takes a firm grasp of a new body.  Seeking to make his way back to his own castle in the void-island he refocuses the Nazi project from teleportation to transport directly to the void island... but the change in personality is noticed by his brother, and the elder brother moves to silence his younger sibling... but the result is not as planned and the younger brother flees taking key documents and designs with him.  The reborn-wizard is forced to deal with starting from scratch again among a now failing Nazi government.  When the Soviets come, they are less interested in the alchemy, but willing to listen to discussions of science, and he eventually gets the backing to begin work again.  Now much older, the elder brother-wizard eventually reaches his goal, and opens the gate.  As he moves through to reclaim his lost tower in the Void Realm, artifacts, and spell books, other “things” and let lose into the artic complex.</blockquote>
