Pytlo Zenovka (Ed) CHARACTER ASSESMENT

PLEASE NOTE: This backstory focuses on Pytlo Zenovka and does not go into detail with the whole backstory of the space station. this story is designed to intertwine with David Green's interpretation behind the secret of the space station and the MMShare and it is assumed that you have read his before you have read mine.

REAL NAME: Pytlo Zenovka

AGE: 32
SEX: Male
HEIGHT: 5"7'
HAIR: Brunette
EYES: Blue
BUILD: Heavy
SOCIAL STATUS: SUPREME SUPERVISOR
FACTION: SS
NATIONALITY: UNKNOWN

BACK STORY:
Little is known about the upbringings of this SS leader. Zenovka rose to power in the year 2000, his succession brought about a dramatic shift in the SS' role in worldly affairs. He realized the rapid decline of the earths recourses and made dramatic plans to ensure the future of his privileged society's status by taking control of all global recourses.

In 2001, Zenovka began phase one in his plan for world domination. He issued a massive operation to take control of the Middle Eastern oil resources. This was to begin by the destruction of the World Trade Centers in New York, evoking enough fear into the public to support for the invasion of Iraq. This would be followed by a series of staged terrorist incursions, shaking the public with great fear and making them further favor the eradication of the Arab nations. This would allow the SS to take control of the rest of the Middle East by means of military action.

In 2008, Zenovka initiates phase two by creating the 'Alliance of the Willing'. Under the guise that it will work to bring peace and unity among the nations, the SS will use the alliance to spearhead the take over of the middle east and to put pressure on China and India. By doing this, Zenovka's plan was to integrate its influence within the eastern economy and gain control of its growth and profits.

Seeing the growing threat of the SS, eastern nations soon realize Zenovka's intent and form
CRILTO to counter his growing dominance. In response, Zenovka calls on a strategic alliance of western nations in response to this treat, under this alliance Zenovka draws up long term plans to ensure the wellbeing of his secret society.

SS continues with phase 3, Zenovka increases control over social networks and online activity by means of 'TIA' (Total Information Awareness). TIA was a series of intelligence organizations and monitoring programs that were used to gather information on the public for a number of goals including the stopping of potential threats, profile the world population and as well as to gain influence in the thinking and behavior of individuals.

As part of the TIA process, Zenovka founded DELTA DEVISION. DD was the first program to utilize technology in genetics and organic manipulation. Authorized to act outside of ethical constraints and laws on humanity, the DD began to develop a species of genetically modified humans with enhanced brainwave matter and implanted digital receptors. Thus creating artificial human beings with psychic abilities and the ability to directly communicate with global SS networks. These 'super humans' were to act as a self sustained monitoring services that can read the minds of people and get information on what people were thinking and also to directly take care of any threats to the SS by the public, Ultimately they were to become the external components of a much larger mind manipulating machine which will be known as the MMShare. Although, due to the growing crisis in the world, the SS where forced to pull the plug on the project. But before this happened, the DD managed to successfully create the first and only 'Super human'... an achievement codenamed "MrCloakn Dagger". Once fully operational, MrCloakn Dagger was employed by the SS to embark on major covert operations against the CRILTO. MrCloakn Dagger will later go on to become a central figure in the remaining years of earth society.

2010, the growing threat of CRILTO was unexpectedly digger then Zenovka first realized, because of this he was forced to deter his current plans for world domination and focus on eradicating CRILTO.
Zenovka began construction of a space station in the SS
Antarctic base as measurements to protect the SS elite against a prominent nuclear war or viral pandemic.

2015, operation HEGAL failed to destroy CRILTO and the nuclear war final erupted. The SS and
eligible members of the remaining populace survived by relocating to the SS Antarctica Base. CRILTO was destroyed along with most of the earth.

2017+, Zenovka sets himself up as governor of the remaining population and resides in the newly constructed space station along with SS elite. MrCloakn Dagger, now a hugely respected member within the SS community, rises up against the dictatorship of Zenovka. With enough support of the SS to back him, MrCloakn Dagger attempts to seize control over the SS and the Antarctica base. But neither Zenovka nor MrCloakn dagger wanted to risk the destruction of the space station over a civil war, and therefor made no real attempt at hostilities. instead, a division occurred within the SS. Two factions were formed, one was the SS under the leadership of Zenovka and the other was called the NRS (New Reformation Society) under the leadership MrCloakn Dagger, since neither of the leaders wished for violence, a series of negations occurred over the growing tension between the two factions. As tensions reached their peak, the two leaders finally agreed to a joint government over the population. This uneasy alliance was a defeat in the eyes of the two factional members, and tensions remained within the space station.

A secretly formed resistance strikes against the tyranny of the two dictators and their infamous MMShare, a massive war brakes out between the SS and the resistance which shatters the Antarctica community. The result of the fierce battle has completely wiped out the SS and the resistance. Elements of the remaining population is scattered, and the last form of society is gone.

The fate of humanity is uncertain, the space station lies deserted within the vastness of the snowy landscape, all that remains alive within its hull is the MMShare, without a purpose it lays in isolation for hundreds of years... waiting for its power sources to run dry along with whats left of the earth

MMSHARE CONSTRUCT

As my contribution to the space station city, i made the actual mmshare machine located within the evil lair. it is a recreation of the lord of the rings sauron eye, with a particle emmitor placed inside to give it a fiery effect. i also made the wires that lead from the bottom of the mmshare and into the walls of the evil lair.

A change has been made to the design of the mmshare evil lair, rather then the room be situated within the evil eye, the lair is now a massive square room with the eye acting as the mmshare itself.

out side the evil lairinside the evil lair, the MMShare

underneath the mmshare, wires come out and into the walls

WHAT I AM MAKING

I (along with jay helping... a little) will construct the evil mm share that sits at the top of the city.
Basically it will be a sphere that looks like the eye of Sauron from lord of the rings sitting on top of a large tower.
inside the sphere will be a circular object which will be the mmshare (sketches of what it might look like are found in http://pytlo.blogspot.com/2007/09/space-station-idea.html) underneath the mmshare will be throwns where people can sit and pull levers that set of traps around the city.

At the bottom of the tower will be lifts that can take people up and into the mm share, but they will need a password in order to get the lift to work. also there will be multiple lifts but only one of them works.

the over all look and feel of the structure will be a cold metal design with the exception of the eye. inside the mm share will be heavily mechanical and will have a dark atmosphere (like a 80's vision of the future i.e blade runner or aliens)

THE SECRET BACKSTORY

We agreed that the secret is a evil machine known as the mmshare controls the city in its evil lair on top of the city.

We suggested the possibility that in order to get into the mmshare one needs to join a secret soceity. Or maybe find clues around the city (whether objects to compose a key or find clues to reveal the password to get into the mmshare lair).

We also discussed possible prizes for working out how to get into the mmshare, like a gun or money... maybe even a shirt.

The possible backstory is that the previous citizens of the city were killed off by the mmshare and which explains the lifelessness of this otherwise modern society.

How the mmshare turned evil is still undecided. maybe, orginially used as a massive database for the citizens. it was turned evil by ed and jay so as to pursue thier own ends

Space station idea


Today we concluded on possibly employing the idea of having the look of the station as different spheres in the sky that are connected by tubes.

The middle sphere is central administration that connects to every other dome and also provides infomation on the cities backstory, the locations and also hints of its evil secret.

The other sphere will house the different structures that will be made by each group, and the look and feel of each sphere is left to the imagination of each group.

at the bottom of the main sphere will be the space port where ships and people can enter the city as well as a teleportation device that takes people on the ground up into the city.

At the top of the main sphere will be a tower that leads to a small sphere will has the evil lair and the home of the mmshare!!!

THE SECRET

i know this is cheating because i'm writing my secret way into the development process but i forgot to do it earlier and so getting it out of the way now.


MMSHARE

Our story is set on a space station city that overs over the earth. To the Normal observer, it looks like a average futuristic city thats up to date with the latest of culture and lifestyle trends. but beneth this aparant futuristic utopia exterior lies a troublesome secret that dominates the existance of every citizen aboard. This secret lies at the core of the city where a monstrous machine rules the lives of its oblivious poeple, a machine so intergrated into society that the poeple of this world could not survive without it, a machine known as the mmshare!

The mmshare is an evil creation whose only motive is to drain the creativety of poeple for its own end. originally it was designed as a MSMD (Massive Self Managed Database) where people can upload thier personal data as well as access infomation and connect to other users, alot like the internet except... its not.... But eventually it turned corrupt.... typical. But the mmshare is only the intrument to this diabolical scheme, for the chamber that houses the mmshare is actually the evil lair and ed and jay who site on throwns above the mmshare that also acts as a control pannel for the whole city. And they use the mmshare to steal ideas from others and make millions from it.

The evil lair is kept restriced from the rest of the city's citizens, and anyone who enters unauthorized will fall through trap doors and be taken to dreaded chambers under the city known as Allan's basement, there they will be tortured by forever by being subjected to sex paddles and center fold pictures of men in gstrings.

The throwns that Jay and Ed sit on control various booby-traps around the city for poeple who continually work of the mmshare even though they have been told a thousand times not to, or are gay... like Milky.

Augmented reality game review

Microsofts "Vanishing point" ARG was a successful marketing campaign to promote vista. bacially you sign up for this game and every week 12 new puzzles are released in a form of a puzzle box (4 easy ones, 4 medium and 4 hard), players can solve these puzzles to gain pionts and win cool prizes.

The main feature of this game is that in order to solve these flash-puzzles, you need the corresponding clue. The clue is revealed in real-time in some global event, such as writting it in the sky all over the world, even via projecting on on a water works display in Las Vegas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrwLJjVAr8U (it actually starts half way through the video)

All in all, apparently it was a very successful game with great prizes on offer. it is finished now but it seems another is on the way.
