Blog 10 Year Anniversary: Beginning Preparations

 Welcome back, my beautiful freaks, to Sean's Workshop!

So I was going through my blog while I was on break at work last night, and I noticed that my first entry was on June 14, 2012. That means that it turns 10 years old soon.

So, while thinking about it, I decided to mark the occasion with an announcement; I'm going to spend the next several months giving a plot synopsis of the story I was working on when I started this; KOTOR Version 2.

KOTOR Version 2 was conceptualized before the SWTOR announcement, so the plot details were based on KOTOR 1, KOTOR 2 and the Tales of the Jedi comics. That means the "True Sith" Kreia was talking about was a surviving Pureblood Sith from the original Sith Empire, the ones that started the Great Hyperspace War. 

So, what should you expect? Well, starting in March and ending in June, there will be one entry per month as I try to remember what my plans were for the saga. It will start with KOTOR Version 2: Sith Triumvirate, a story with 3 unique characters that were created as agents of Revan. They fell under the advanced classes from KOTOR 2, and prepared Revan's Sith Empire for taking on the "True Sith", disappearing when Malak took over.

KOTOR Version 2 came from a what if concept; what if Revan's brain damage wasn't as bad? What if he remembered who he was up to the point just before meeting the True Sith?

This story followed the events of KOTOR 1 with minor variations, since Revan knew who he was, regaining memories with each Star Map he found. 

KOTOR Version 2: Vhae's Journey is the KOTOR 2 story, with a few changes as well. Vhae Pano was originally a male protagonist, though I'm changing Vhae to a woman this time, since I'm far more comfortable with writing a female protagonist. Also, both Brianna and Mical will be part of the crew.

Finally, KOTOR Version 2: Endgame will be the finality of the story. Vhae will follow Kreia's advice and seek out Revan, and she and Revan will gather their allies from all three previous stories to end the threat of the True Sith once and for all.

This is a big undertaking, since I need to re-read the plot synopsis of the two games, and the Tales of the Jedi comics, in order to remind myself of the details of these stories. I'll also need to prepare new notes in order to remember what the details of the non-game stories.

For now, look forward to these story plot synopses and stay beautiful freaks!
