Stranger, and Friend

As she watch him leave toward the shore, Elsteba imediatly noticed a black pattern imbedded in the middle of the young man's back. Rubbing her bleary eyes, she ran up behind him to get a closer look. It was a tattoo of some world, strange to her. It occurred to her that it was a map.
Unexpectedly, the young man whirred around and stared her right in the eyes. _*GASP* Red eyes?_ The young man looked angry. "Why are you following me?" he growled.
Opening and shutting her mouth a few times, Elsteba finnally got the courage to stammer "oh...y-you have a tattoo on your back!"
Due to it's location on his back, the young man was unable to see it. He walked over to the edge of the water and turned his back to it, so as to look at his reflection in the water. With an air of shock, he looked back at Elsteba. The wonder in his eyes was almost tangable. _HUH! His eyes! They are blue! Like the ocean!_
"Woah...Of all the people to know my body, you think I would have seen this before. Can you read?"
"Of corse! Can't you?!"
An akward silence followed. Then, suddenly, the young man grabbed her by the arm, flung her over his back and before she knew what was happening, she was being swam accross the salty water to a little run-down shack.

Cast List. (feel free to edit as you see fit, and to add characters i might have missed.)

Main Character List (put up for the conviniance of the readers and the writers so we all know what we are dealing with).

Elstaba: a girl from a world completly devoid of plant life, that is all steal, plastic and which has an extreamly high level of technology.

Jacob: son of Dr. Henry. He has two companions Gammon, and Athena whos personalitys are patterned after real historical figures from Jocobs peoples historys. is extreamly skilled at useing his hover board, and is trained to use computers and some weapons. he has a "watch" thing that glows blue/green and can produce phisical objects along with Gammon and Athena, giving them phisical forms.

Amorok: a young man who is considered the "key" to the Umberings prison and who is very torn up about it.

Dr. Russel: a slightly mad sciantist who worked closely with Alsifer in finding the Parts of the Solarus and in fighting the umbering on his own world.

Alsifer: a super powerful being, who while not all knowing can with the use of his machine/space ship see any where at any time, though this is still limited as he cant watch every place at every time. His race is directly oposed to the umbering (ether becuse they created it, or where its natural oposits in the evolution of existance. This is to be determined by the authors at a later date) of which he is the last known one.

Gammon: a "Computer Program" named after a great warrior from the historys of Jacobs people. He has always garded jacob, and Dr. Henry, given phisical form by a type of holographic device that ran threw out Dr.Henrys tower back on his world, but now is confined to that of Jacobs watch which gives him a limited ranged of about a mile in which he can project him self as a phisical being. He is "in love" with athena, as the two are essentialy the only two of their own AI type race.

Athena: Also a "computer program" and also only made real threw a type of physical holographic projection. named after the godess of war, but suposedly named after a great scholar and female general from jacobs peoples historys, her personality is that of a prudent intelectual and is very rational. However she can also be very loving and motherly prone to strong emotional out bursts should somone try to harm somone she has "brought under her protection" so to speak.

Jestor: some mathamatition/ wizard person jordan threw in... though we could use him interestingly if we decide to.... hum.... His personaity is some what eccentric and perhaps much like a mad sciantist.

Mr. Schellhous : the principle of Elstebas school and is in cohoots with the Umbering, or one of his Unberling creatures.... Unknowingly of course, he simply thinks that he will be able to use the Umbering as a source of power and he will get somthing like the nobel prize or somthing for some major sciantific brake threw... we dont quite know yet.

The Umbering: a dark and brooding preasense in the void of the "place between places" which is his prizon. he was locked away their by Alsifers people at great personal expence to them, for they were its mortal enamys. There are two possable theorys that we are working on about the origens of the umbering. 1. that it was simply the creature that would go from existance to existance devouring them all up once they were all used up and all life was extinguished. Existances garbage disposal so to speak. and that alsifers people found out about it and were very much interested to learn more. As the Umbering become more familiure with them it started learning and so for and so on and so eventualy the Umbering came to their existance trying to find some new and more taistfull food, and alsifers people didnt realy like that so they fought one another. And now knowing what they had unleshed upon existance Alsifers people locked it away as quickly as they could fighting a war in which many of them died. 2 the second idea is that Alsifers people actualy created the umbering as a mind link between them all. But what they thought would turn their people into a great and all knowing force actualy slowly turned into a dark and evil force that wanted to consume everything in existance and make it part of the collected (kinda like the borg exept that this one was an accident rather then a weapon purposfuly created) and that those of alsifers people who servived fought back hard. But the amount of them that was left was few, not enugh to sustain even their long lived race givin the fact of the war, so they eventualy all died off, leaving alsifer as the watcher. To find and bring to gether the right people at the right time to ether destroy the umbering there by freeing his people from its collected clutches, or by simply locking it away perminently which would NOT be the one that alsifer would choose.
