Revision

So I have refined the idea a bit, thanks to some good advice from an old friend this isn't going to be straight fan fiction, but a re-imagining with my own twist.  So yes there will be recognizable Xenosaga-ness to it but not enough that it would be considered fan fiction, and if it was it would be so far Alternate Universe I doubt anyone would read it for the pleasure of the Xeno-verse. 

As it is now I spent what little time I had today working over the plot and trying to set up a direction, the problem I realized almost immediately was that to incorporate the old fan fiction plot I was going to have to explain the character's and their relationships...which means going back and tweaking the Xeno mythos to be in line with what I already have.  So what that means is at least an additional 3-4 chapters of fresh material.  Which on one hand excites me but on the other is kind of daunting.  Bah lets stay with exciting. 

Now comes the hard part, part of the Xeno-verse I really enjoyed was how everything was connected and well, sounded cool.  I mean Realians...how unique is that for basically pod-people; what this means for me, to satisfy my brain, is coming up with equally cool and terms and names for the characters.  The characters shouldn't be to hard but the terminology is another story.  Part of the process thought right? 

Ok basically to go where I want the back round is set seven years prior to the main story, enough time for things to build to a boiling point and the antagonists plans to be ready.  Also as cute as Jr and MOMO are in canon I don't want to get the whole pedo argument going hence why they won't meet and really show signs of things until they both are "grown up". 

Aaand I am cutting the cast considerably, Xenosaga had a huge cast and story that was hard for fans to even follow sometimes; the center of this is supposed to be the interaction of two character's and how they changed each other.  That being said character's such as KOS-MOS, Allen, chaos and such will either have no roles or minor guest appearances.  I think this not only keeps me more sane but also will keep the story tighter in the end.

I have the past plot all setup and can hopefully get the first chapter in rough draft by this weekend, if not no big deal.  This is going to take some time and I need to be patient, that said look for a blurb or preview this week.
