Hey, everyone. So, post-DA, I was thinking about getting Zangya involved in some type of conflict, something that required her to not only reevaluate her priorities but reevaluate herself. So I was thinking, and an idea sparked in my head.
Lately, Arlia has been the subject of many “sagas,” mainly Yamu’s Regulators saga and Bra’s Calculating Catastrophe. So, it makes sense that Arlia would be, most likely, in a seemingly irreparable state after CC ends, so perhaps this group I’m looking to form could do something to attempt to fix up the planet.
Obviously, the remnants of the infected victims’ attacks will be there, so perhaps the group of heroes could either come to help Arlia, or perhaps come to visit for one reason or another and get stuck into the restoration effort. Now, mind you, most of this roleplaying will probably revolve around Arlia’s government and will probably be more dialogue-centric rather than having a bunch of combat. There’ll still be fighting, but probably a lot less than our CCers and DAers will become used to.
Zangya’s going to pop into the equation like this: she is, most likely, not going to win DA, so once again, she’ll be all emo over her failure, and just look on the map for some random planet she’s never been to before (Arlia) and travel there to attempt to “find herself.” Now, I would prefer it if she wasn’t the leader of the whole restoration effort, because while she may be fiery, she’s not a leader in any sense.
Eventually, the restoration effort will be interrupted by Altered, Inc. (the company who has basically taken control of Kajin Rala)—now, the company will be centered on taking all of the glory for the restoration effort, so will come in and try to shove our heroes out. This is where the real conflict comes in.
Obviously, anything further involving Altered will have to be staff-approved, I’m guessing, so I’m leaving that part out for now. But that’s basically what the first good chunk of the saga will be based upon. I’m looking for a group of people interested in joining me in this endeavor to ‘repair’ Arlia (or Earth, if the majority of people don’t want to help with Arlia). I’m not looking for a huge group, but I’m welcome to anyone who wants to join up, so if you’re interested, then post here.
And a disclaimer, this is not a saga that is to be “run.” It would just be a (very long) personal saga. I’ve had people tell me I’m not fit to run something big before, so I’m just clarifying that that’s not what this is. It’s completely open-ended, except for the few bullet points I’ve clarified. It’s mostly for character development, anyways.
EDIT: To give more clarification on how things are going to begin, I've written up a rough draft for the starting post, minus the part where I introduce Zangya to the mix.

Quote:“Listen, my brothers,” the Arlian councilman spouted over the crowd of elected officials, “This restoration is not happening in the manner it was meant to. We need to take a serious look at our system, and then—”
With that comment, the room was in an uproar. How dare he question their methods? He was not their leader. There were no leaders—this council was here to restore Arlia, not to reevaluate the government. It was preposterous to suggest such a thing. After this, no one could have blamed them if they did not quiet at his call, but the Arlians were a wise race, so when he called for silence, they conceded.
“We have watched—sat idly by as our lands were brutally tortured over the past year,” he began, “Whether it was the Construct infecting our people, and turning them against our own soil or simple space pirates detracting from the essence of nature that defines this planet, it has been a long, long, while since we’ve seen peace here on our planet.”
The group nodded in agreement, several muttering statements of approval.
“And now, I sit here every day and watch each and every one of you quarrel and bicker about the best way to integrate ourselves into galactic society. Well, my friends, here’s what I say,” he continued, and at this, paused, and stepped in front of the podium, “I ask you when have we worried about others before? Arlia has always been independent. It has always been something that worked well on its own. I ask you why we need Earth. Why do we need Namek? Or Vegeta—or Mercy—or Frost—or Kajin Rala, even?”
The room’s hushed silence continued eerily, and the councilman with all of the ears listening to him smiled. This was going perfectly—he could not have imagined it better. “So why do we associate with them? Because we are weak. We are truly weak. Every day, we sit here, thinking about joining the quadrant in a flourish of economic triumph—but why must we reach out to them to achieve this? Can we not achieve it on our own?”
The argument was sinking in, and many other council members shuffled in their seats as they pondered the idea of becoming completely detached, completely independent from the rest of the galaxy. “My friends,” he sighed, nearly to the end of his rant, “When we restore our planet, I want us to restore our planet. Not Earth. Not Namek. Not Vegeta. I want Arlia to restore Arlia.”
“But what of us?” another member piped up. “Like you said, we are weak. We need assistance, councilman.”
“My brother, of course there will be exceptions,” he concluded, “But let us be assured that we will not rely on these people. I am planning to enlist a small group of warriors that have proved esteemed and more powerful than any normal Arlian to come and assist with the restoration effort. In fact, some of them have already arrived on the planet.”
“Who are they?”
“That will be revealed in time, brother. For now, I simply ask for your trust. Will you give it to me?” Slowly, the congregation stood in succession, and began to applaud loudly for the speaker. He smiled a devilish smile, and then bowed, and took his seat. Everything was going to be fine now.
He just knew it.
