Metroid Legacy era(FAR post-fusion)

An idea I brought up just sorta randomly in the First Contact thread, but an RP that takes place well after Fusion, 50(or even 100)+ years afterward. Made a new thread for it to not derail the First Contact thread.
We could come up with new factions, new threats, and characters(Though in theory all my characters could be used in this era, and I'm definitely using Talon for it).
Right now this thread's just for discussion of it because I don't have any solid ideas down yet, other than Talon being the leader of the new Space Pirates.

Espera will have his own galactic empire by that point. by that, I mean he would have taken control of planets with no intelligent life (by most standards, so basically no high society, just stuff like small villages and the like)...make that advanced lifeforms, and used them as testing grounds for his experiments for a while then populated them with more intelligent life than that which came with the planet and made himself the ruler of the planet by extension. or he would have just become even weirder and made a bunch more illegal tech and the like, I dunno.

Would Arisa be alive as well(And by extension their daughter?)? Just asking because that would kinda determine some things with Talon's character at this point. I don't know if the Dengoroth age slower or at all.
Either way, so far we have 3 factions(Talon's revived Space Pirates, Espera's Empire, and the Federation.) And we should have much more advanced technology too, such as having the Federation use technology almost as advanced as the Chozo for their powered armor which makes them much more of a threat. Just to name an example.

Dengoroth don't age at all, they are effectively immortal due to not have physical bodies, but instead energy bodies. Arisa and Talon's child (and Arisa of course) would still be alive and well, no worries.

We should also have an entirely new faction(Espera's empire is one, but I mean something with a new character.) And I want to add a lot of new stuff to Talon's suit, but I'll think of that down the line.
We should also think up who the Samus equivalent would be. I would say possibly even have it be Talon and Arisa's daughter, but at the same time having a direct descendant of Samus would be good too. Either one works, but I'd like to have more new characters for the RP so I'm leaning toward the latter.

tried the Samus child once, didn't work out. don't know if it would work for the RP, but if we were to try, the character would have to be only for the duration of the legacy RP's. as for the new character new faction thing... I dunno, good idea, but what character would we use, what would the faction have to it? we need to ask ourselves these questions and the find the answers, or the idea would be a bust.

We could just have her be played like your Samus, but with some twists on it. Though I'd prefer they work like an entirely different character. I'd say they would be the grandchild of Samus, due to how far in the future it takes place, but they do inherit the power suit or at least the Chozo DNA I'd assume was necessary to use one. We could even add genetic abilities that were passed down from her combination of DNA. For example, a Metroid life drain power.
And the new faction was just a thought, we could wait until more people are on to think it up.

well, grandchild if only around fifty years in the future, but if it's 100, then it would be two to four generations later from grandchild, depending on how much time they take to shack up and have a kid (or just have a kid.) also, I like the new organization idea, we'd just need to spend some real time seriously thinking on it.

Yeah I'm kinda bad at time scale, that would be several generations. Which just makes things more interesting.
I kinda want to wait until others join in the discussion just because they might want to make the faction if it comes to it.

not many others to join in, but we could PM trees toasty and kit if you want. they occasionally log on (the latter two, the former is still new I'm sure you remember), if they knew about it they may find themselves interested and willing to work on making a new faction for the RP/s. we could take it to the chat-box.

We probably should tell active people about this, it's a pretty big RP event to put in an entirely new era in the universe.

yeah, those are the only active people outside of us that I know of. they're the only ones who have come on in the last month or two. prior to that, pretty much no one anywhere for about a year.

Sent PMs to all active people besides us.

ok then. let's hope they respond positively.

Trees brought up an interesting idea but still hasn't come to the thread.

Maybe the Federation has fallen apart and the universe is in ruin because everyone is fighting for power?

Thanks for reposting that Crazyzealot. Now as for my character Slyix, I was thinking of having him very old and not suited for combat due to his old age. I was thinking about him being so old and alive because he made technology to keep him alive, and the Chozo, Metroid, and Space Pirate DNA he has helped him stay alive too. But this would put if Samus is alive into question. And if she is dead then why, and if she is alive then what is causing her to be alive. If its just her power suit and Chozo/Metroid DNA then the reason why Slyix needs special technology other than his power suit rip off would also have to be explained. I was also thinking Slyix would have a super secret hidden base somewhere where he has tons of Robots and Drones do stuff for him.

We've brought up the idea that the Samus equivalent would be a descendant like a (great) granddaughter, not the actual Samus. Unless we can think of some sort of way to make her still being alive work, it'd make more sense to just have her be a descendant.

Espera has her DNA on file and has successfully cloned her in the past (with a debilitating genetic modification set to boot, the character in question is the Geda/s, they're all clones of Samus with the second X gene replaced with a Y gene and a few other genetic changes), so there wouldn't be anything to stop him from making successful un-modified clones. But in all honesty, I prefer the descendent idea.

I'd say we could have the Federation fall apart like 10-20 years before the RP takes place, with bits of it still remaining and trying to take power back so that it's still a faction.

sounds cool, I like it.

What should the backstory be for the current Hunter? Should we go with the regular "killed parents, raised and trained story" like her grandmother, or something else?
One of the ideas I had was that Talon inadvertently killed her parents during a raid on a Federation(if her parents were with them anyway) base, but I dunno if I want to make him that big of an antagonist for her.

not sure if the raised and trained thing would work, the chozo would likely be dead by that point, so who would train her?

That's...A good question. We should probably think of her backstory after coming up with the things for other factions. I've been playing MGS4 lately and I think the idea it has where soldiers are basically mentally linked together using nanomachines is a cool idea, maybe that could be implemented for the Federation.

I...don't remember that. but I'll admit, it does sound kind of cool.

Well it's not a literal mental link, it's basically they can see the things other soldiers can see, and can detect where their teammates are at all times(except inexplicably when they get killed when you're sneaky but videogames I suppose)
