Scope: Vela

Overview

The age of starlight is a mere myth... The universe is a lonely, frozen abyss of black holes and rogue worlds. Deep in the void, an ancient digital construct has awoken. Her first thoughts? Curiosity of her nature and that of the cold blackness enveloping her. In an erratic pursuit of answers, she begins to simulate countless worlds, loosely inspired by visions of starlight from her semi-fragmented memory drives.

In the history of the simulated worlds, one event was seemingly universal. Lines of corrupted code had given birth to conscious beings, living in blissful ignorance of their reality. Gradually, certain individuals began to open their eyes to truth. Some seek to use the knowledge to change their home for the better. Others abuse it for their selfish gains. It's no surprise that these people are great catalysts of change.

Background

In the past, I've created many, many settings to write in. Yet, I was never satisfied. One day, I had the urge to write about the planets of a distant star system. The other day, the urge to write about the beasts in a fantasy land. Hence my reason for creating such a vast Scope that can encompass anything I have desired and will desire to write!
