This is pretty much a work in progress just to let you guys know I'm not just sitting on here trolling...
Synopsis:
On Earth, only one Gantz team remains, and is under the sole control of Enkido, the last of an extraterrestrial race. The Gantzers become but mere pawns in a deadly battle against the being who designed it all. And with Earth as a bargaining chip, an alliance is formed between Enkido and Miles Lechaunce when the countdown to annihilation draws ever near.
Main Characters:
Miles Lechaunce, Enkido, "Shadow", "Spirit", Takase Niito, Maeko Mitsuhara, Dominique Lechaunce, Zerojii Kenpachi, Elijah Kramarr, "Montezno"
Other Characters Used: (Entirely or to some extent)
Oniko, Sakaki Kobayashi, J-pimpin, Tomoko Satsue, Toriyuki Sekihara, Shirow Odai, Jomo-mo-mo, Bobbie "the bird", Lance Fredrickson, Hope, Siwon Ishida, Kiba, Aoi, The Rat, Theodore "T-Bag", Tjad, Murai, Kamui, The Puppet Master, Nickolai "Niko" Postavich, Ami Ryousuke, Tam Wei, Yama Yamagata, Makoto Setsumi, Judith Renholder, Miles "GMR" Inwich and many more...
If your confused these are characters from the Second Chances forum. They each had some very, very, very, very, very unique and interesting contributions to the roleplays that they originated from. And for some time I've been contemplating on a way how to tell each of their stories in one big cluster fuck of a fanfic. Welp, minus the cluster fuck, I've got it all planned out, and I'm interested in getting some thoughts about the direction I'm planning to take it in.
Main Character:
The main character will be Miles Lechaunce; the name comes from a character I made awihle ago called Miles Inwhich. Uh, oh, Gary-stu alert! Naah, not really...infact this character will be based more off the character known as Shirow Odai. He's pretty much going to be the evil protagonist of the story. Yes, I did say evil. I want the protagonist in my Gantz story to be evil, because too often we always hear the side of the pathetic "kurono-wannabe" hero who miraculously lead a team of his childhood friends to victory. I think we've all seen about enough of that. I want this story to be about how a guy can go into Gantz and allow that experience to persuade him into walking a path of darkness.
The antagonists on the otherhand will be the good guys, the one's trying to work together and make sure everyone gets home. (insert katou reference) My story will follow Miles Lechaunce as he tries to gain 100 pts and prevent the good guys from stopping him in the process. Lol, and that's just the beginning...(read the synopsis hint hint)
So how's it sound?
If you guys from Gantz Players would like a cameo role post your characters or atleast links to them and it will be considered. I can't promise a major role, but I'll due them justiceto the best of my ability, whether it be including them in a mission or in a moment outside of gantz.
Oh, and if I forgot to include or mention a character you had from Second Chances, I apologize and am still digging up interesting characters from there. If you'd really like to see your character used, I'd post right away. I know I still am reviewing a couple of Dane's characters as I type this. (Just don't remember the names)

Chapter 1: Sneak Peak
Story will kick off outside of Gantz with Miles Lechaunce and Takase Niito, each priveledged from multi-billion, dollar companies excelling in the mass production of vasts amounts of scientific advancements. Just before graduating highschool they both invent the Fountain of Youth Serum. However only one of them will be able to accept the accolades for this discovery and their friendship is tested.
Meanwhile, Niito's friend Elijah Kramarr and Lechaunce's sister, Dominique Lechaunce are secretly seeing each other behind Miles' back. They are then involved in a freak accident that places Dominique in a life threatening condition. Elijah begs Niito to use the Serum on her to save her life. Unknown to them, Niito's portion of the serum was compromised prior by none other than Miles Lechaunce. And even though Dominique's life is spared, the effects of the tampered concoction slowly turn her into something unhuman.
This leads to the fallout between Takase and Miles and inevitably results in their deaths, but unknown to them, fate would have it that in Gantz their bitter rivalry will be reborn.
--------
So as you can see I'm trying to bring a darker and more compelling story to Gantz that I'm pretty sure all interested in the genre can enjoy. And as I stated before; don't expect this to be another Kurono and Katou like story, because that's been done before. I want to do something different.
Expect me to post chapter one in the next upcoming days.

I like it, although i still havent read any chapter, your story and the fact that the main character will be evil already got me hooked and considering as i have seen u mod a region i know u can deliver a great story with enough time. I also liked a lot that u used so many of the old characters from second chances (my own T-Bag included lol) that brought back some nostalgia. So yeah waiting on the first chap.

Yeah, T-bag's role is going to be very true to lore in the sense that he'll still have his con-man antics as well as his sick and twisted perverted ways. I must inform you though that a lot's going to be different about his character, including his name, his social status and place of employment. The reason behind this change is because I feel as if the whole convict storyline he brings with him is sort of played out and I think it'd be more interesting to see him in a position of power, one where he can abuse his authority over the weak and helpless to commit disgusting, dispicable acts.
I'm also going to have a similar character, known as Nickolai Postavich in which will be a cop, but his role is entirely different and unique from T-bag in the sense that it will be very easy to distinguish one from the other.
I just regret to inform you that whilst T-bag will have a really good role, I doubt he will be a gantzer this time around. If I were to do so it'd feel as if I'm forcing him to be thrown into Gantz. I always say if it doesn't fit, don't force it. And take that for what it is worth, considering changes can happen last minute and at anytime.

it's cool man. I want you to write the story as u have planned it. And i like t-bag in a position of power. That's what i always intended to do with him after he had gained the gantz suit but we never finished the project. Anyways waiting for chapter one...

Either way I cant wait to see how you're gonna balance everything into the plot. I mean Gantz already has a shitload of characters and is dark too. PLZ POST YOUR story soon.

Lol, actually the Fountain of Youth Serum plays a significantly smaller role in the plot. GANTZ itself will of course be the main focal point, including missions, new mechanics and alien hunting inside and outside gantz. There will also be vampires and psychics. The first chapter won't touch much on Gantz, but instead will introduce the characters and explain how they got into gantz. I'm currently working on a prologue as well that'll definately give you a taste on how I plan on doing future missions. And yes gantz is dark, but I have plans to go darkerft

Just thought I'd give you guys an update on my progress. I'm currently writing the prologue and have so far written up to page 9. My word count is at about 4,800 words. I also think I've got about 2 to 3 more pages to write before it is complete.
The finished product will be posted on fanfiction.net and the link will be posted in this thread.

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!
Still doing some revisions on Chapter one, but I do have a snippet available if anyone's interested in reading it. Just let me know and I'll post it, otherwise I can hold off and just post the full 1st chapter once revisions are complete. It was a blast writing, so I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it.
On a side note, the story has spiraled in a completely different direction. This is similar to when I use to mod, I'd expect one thing to happen and the character's write themselves. I even had some characters, I never expected to show up yet, pop up in the story.
Hell, I can't even say that there's just going to be one protagonist anymore, there's going to multiple one's, each character getting a turn to tell there side of the story, with each side of the story meeting up and all making sense in the end.
I'm still also striving to keep the story very very dark, especially for character's like Benry's T-Bag and even going as far as to rename and completely overhaul some. Expect dark humor, dark romance and lots and lots of gore.
Will Gantz play a role? Absolutely. However, the first mission won't kick off until around chapter two. Missions are awesome, but even as a mod I was way more interested in the build up, rather than just dumping my Gantzers in and killing them.
Edit: I've also scrapped the serum aspect from my story, no need for it really.

New simplified Synopsis:
With her brother murdered in cold bold, a vow was made. She'd follow in his footsteps, a path of vengeance. A path that'd lead to uncover one of the universe's darkest secrets. Aliens do exist, or atleast that was the theory anways.
New extended Synopsis: She knew her brother kept a lot of secrets; his way of always protecting her. However, she'd soon find out that this was the understatement of the century. Very few know the circumstances behind his death, and her obsession with finding the truth, may very well lead to one of universe's most darkest secrets. Aliens do exist, and her and her team would fight to remedy that. Atleast that was the theory anyways.
