Inspired by Emopuppy's World History and the general complexity of my fursona's past, I have decided to create this rough timeline of major events in the history of his original world and other lives...
(Notes: Any year containing XX means that the exact year is unknown: e.g. 24XX is anywhere between 2400 and 2499. The timeline follows the time elapsed on Flames' homeworld, regardless of what time passes/what time it is/the order of events on other worlds...)
2012-SoulRevolution strikes, evolving countless humans at a price, causing chaos and death to become the norm in some regions.
One of the people evolved through SoulRevolution, a teenager who would later become known as Accursed Flames, sets off a quest to destroy SoulRevolution and end the madness, despite his body and spirit being engulfed in an inferno, his life tied to the flame...
2052-Accursed Flames sacrifices his very existence to destroy SoulRevolution and give hope to humanity, erasing his soul from all universes by doing so.
Despite this, a fragment of both Accursed Flames' soul and SoulRevolution continue to exist. SoulRevolution dissolves into the fabric of reality, ensuring that chaos shall always return to that world.
2100-The first artificial humans, Reploids, are created.
2137-Accursed Flames' soul begins attempts to merge with fragments of other souls to form a new soul...
The ultimate weapon project, Project X, is suggested to a group of individuals.
2146-The first Human/Reploid war breaks out, causing both races to dwindle significantly.
Project X finally enters development...
2168-The war ends and Project X vanishes...
2200-Anthros begin to spread across the world, having evolved from humans and Reploids.
2273-The War of Inequality begins, causing Earth to turn into a nightmare-like Hell, causing seas and oceans to be erased, mountains levelled and half of all land becomes desert. All 3 races are reduced to very small numbers, with the population so low that all living beings (including plants and animals) could easily fit in a country the size of Germany.
Project X is ressurected, splitting off into dozens of seperate projects with technology at least a century ahead of all other weaponry.
2304-The last few skirmishes cease and Project X is stolen away by a human known only as Draconis...
2340-Draconis, now a cyborg, takes over the world with ease, using prototype cybernetic enhancements from Project X.
2350-'Emperor' Draconis mysteriously vanishes, leaving behind his creation Xan, a demented Reploid, to seize control. The people of the world rebel and Xan is kept sealed away...
By this point, the population has now less than half of what it was 50 years ago...
2389-Xan, now forgotten, escapes and uses a variety of tricks, illusions and memory altering to be regarded as a hero and become the ruler of Earth.
His rule begins soft, but becomes firmer and firmer towards Anthros and to some extent, Reploids, over time...
24XX-HoKaze no Flames is born from the soul that contained a fragment of Accursed Flames. By this time Xan has convinced most of humanity that he is human and that Anthros are lesser beings...
24XX-Flames is tortured throughout his childhood by Xan or his loyal subordinates before being released when he displayed no signs of having any unusual abilities. He is driven to insanity and heartlessly murders two humans who were insulting his kind in the street. Realising what he has done, the child Flames flees from the last city on Earth...
Project X is forgotten, only a few traces of it hiding in ruins within the vast desert...
24XX-A teenage Flames returns to Neo Babylon, the last city and 'paradise'. The population of all 3 races is now very low, with Anthros starting to die out. Xan now begins to use a special form of hypnosis that only affects humans, turning humanity against Reploids and Anthros, making all humans praise him as their saviour.
Flames is disgusted by this and fights back using the skill and discipline he learnt during his time outside of the city, in the unforgiving desert.
He joins the resistance against Xan and quickly rises through the ranks, becoming one of the elite 'Warriors'...
24XX-'The Hero Eternal: Warrior' begins here.
24XX-It ends shortly afterwards with Xan's defeat and Flames death.
2 years later-'The Hero Eternal: Ressurection' starts here with the discovery of an Anthro in stasis almost identical to Flames and with Draconis returning, seemingly immortal, attempting to take over once more...
6 months later-'The Hero Eternal: Ressurection' ends with the battle between Neo Flames, the Anthro found in stasis, and the genetically-enhanced/reconstructed body of HoKaze no Flames. It concludes with Neo being told by Draconis that the spirit of the original HoKaze may reside within him, although the heart, mind and body of HoKaze is currently under Draconis' control. Despite the knowledge that he may be destroying his original body, Neo Flames obliterates HoKaze's body before questioning whether he really is the original or just a copy. Unsure of who he truly is and whether his soul is that of HoKaze's, Neo adopts the name HoKaze no Flames and swears to fight for freedom for all eternity...
(More to come...!)
