Ronnie’s Worlds/Universes:
1) The Utopia:
*Planet: Earth [same timeline]
• Year of (first…possibly only…) Utopia story: 2509 A.D.
*When was the Year of Outbreak?: First “giant” was found in Russia October 9, 2087…though it has been rumored there have been some scattered about since around 2050. The first female giantess was found in Brazil June 15, 2505. She is the oldest known living giantess [13 years old in present time]. Giantesses [including the one found in Brazil] will not be introduced to the Utopian complex until 2511…
*What happened to the first giant?: The first giant found was confiscated by the Russian government and tested upon and studied vigorously….Thus, the Goliath “Disease” was discovered. Unfortunately, all the tests put too much strain on the giant (whom the scientists deemed as “Kira”)…he died February 14, 2090...He was [estimated] 23 years old when he passed.
*When did the plans for the Utopia arise?: The plans were officially presented to the American government on August 27, 2143. The team that created the plan consisted of John Romero [an architect], John Sullivan [another architect], Julie Ryde , Gregory Johnson , Susan Wood [another politician], and various members of the Ford family. Though rejected at first, a revised edition came out a few years later that was passed.
*Ford Family?: Harold Ford, in short, was the most recent Bill Gates…a business tycoon among business tycoons. His son, Jason Ford, has the Goliath Disease. Thus, Harold became a big figure in the rights for Goliath Virus victims crowd. Knowing his son would never have a “normal” life, he wanted to make sure later generations of victims WOULD get the chance. Thus came “The Utopia Project”.
*Where is the Utopia Complex?: It is located in the United States of America. It is located partially in South Dakota and partially in North Dakota. There are rumors of another one opening in Montana. Also, Russia is in the process of developing their own “Utopia Complex”. It is set to open sometime in 2550s.
*When did The Utopia Complex open?: November 22, 2181.
*Did the Utopia Complex only accept American "victims”?: For the first few trial years, yes. But afterwards, world-wide participants were allowed.
*Was the Utopia Complex completely funded by the American government?: In papers, yes. But in reality, no. There were multiple funds all over the world which helped [secretly] pay for the Complex. The American government, truthfully, probably only paid for about 10% of the total costs.
*What are the typical heights of the Goliath Disease victims?: They are typically 12 X the height of a normal human. For example, if the man was to normally be 6 feet tall…Then, as a Goliath Disease victim he would end up being around 72 feet tall.
*Can the “disease” be cured?: No… At least not in the technical sense. However, in recent studies (started about in 2499…), there are shown ways to stunt the growth of the “giants” ahead of time. However, this only works for a small percentage of the “victims”. For those it works for, they usually end up between 10-30 feet tall….
*Fertility – Can a “giant” and a “giantess” have a kid?: Technically, yes. But the chances of the child’s survival is very rare. While the child would most definitely have the disease, there are many medical mishaps that tend to happen. In short, “Giantesses” tend to have stillborns and miscarriages for the most part. And for the majority of the surviving children, they are plagued with medical problems. Thus, most don’t survive. Only a handful of children (out of hundreds of attempts) have lived healthy and normal lives.
*What is with the “…” on the words giant and giantess?: Well…In this story/world, giants are not referred to as giants or giantesses. There are actually two terms they go by. Their first label was “Kirans” coming from the Russian word “Kira” meaning “dark”. Obviously, this has a negative connotation. This label was started by the Russian scientists who “discovered” the first giant. The preferred term, however, is “Gerans” which comes from the Russian word “Gera” meaning “brother”. This is preferred for it shows the realization that we all “brothers” on this plant called Earth….Whether “Geran” or not. It also takes in consideration the Gerans are indeed human too. This has been denied by many of the non-Gerans who hold a strong prejudice against them (the Gerans).
*Is there still that “kidnapping/marriage” thing going on (<__< )?: Yes and no. Let me explain. It was figured if the government outright kidnapped people then sooner or later families of the “kidnapped” and private investigators would probably put two and two together….So… Instead, the girls are “tricked” (so to speak) into coming. The government only wants the brightest and best to help “normalize” the Gerans. Thus, they set up a scholarship program. The scholarship decrees that any girl who agrees to “study abroad (at a “country” the government choose)” will be able to go to the college of their choice. This is partially true. However, the girls, of course, are not sent to a country, but the Utopian complex instead. I’ve changed it in that the girls are allowed to return to their normal lives and go to college after 1-4 years at the complex (for each year the girl stays, they get a year free at whatever college they go to…). Can they leave the complex during this time? No. What prevents them from blabbing after the fact? If they do blab, the government will no longer pay for their college and the government will take heavy legal actions against the girl (The girls signs some trickily worded papers before being accepted into the “program”). Thus, the whole “marriage” thing (from my previous Utopia idea) is thrown out the window.
*Is there going to be a lot of cussing as the original story (there was a quite a bit in those first few chapters)?: Hahahaha. No. Definitely not as much. There shall be an occasional word or two every now and then, but I found too much cussing distracts from the storyline. U,U
*Where were the Gerans/Kirans put between 2087 and the opening of the first Utopian Complex?: That’s a very good question. Most of them were apprehended and contained by their native country’s government. Some were allowed to roam free, though….(However, they were most likely watched like hawks). Unfortunately, some of the Gerans who roamed free were killed by the Geran-hating “vigilantes”. Also, some militaristic countries often tried to use Gerans as a military force. However, as it turned out…Gerans are big targets (duh!) and the enemy country often had an easy time killing them (aka blowing them up :[…Those poor Gerans…). The Moscow Massacre didn’t help either…When it came to Geran freedom.
*Moscow Massacre? What was that?: Apparently, the first giant belonged to a “gang” of giants that were hiding from the government. Giants from all over the world belonged to said “gang”. Angered at the treatment of their comrade, they attacked the Russian scientists’ headquarters in Moscow. It has been reported civilians died in the conflict between the Russian police for and the giants. Every single one of the giants were killed in the conflict. However, compared to the total of 10 giants, about 100 “humans” died in return. It occurred on December 26, 2100. Due to this incident, a majority of countries illegalized “free-roaming” Gerans (then, predominantly called Kirans). This incident, also led to the “official” Geran-hating vigilantes “club” called PAW (The Protective Agency of the World…each individual was called a PAWman (or PAWoman)).
*Explain more about PAW, please?: ... It was started in Moscow by the victims of the Moscow Massacre’s families (Just some of the families though…not all..). It spread to the entire world in a short about of time. They’re main goal, at first, was just to protect and watch out for fellow non-Gerans. However, as the years went on and the animosity grew, they began to actively seek out “free” Gerans and kill them.
*Will your “Utopia” story have any female Gerans? No. This (initial) story takes place in 2509...Female Gerans are not introduced to the complex until 2511…However, if this story goes well and I have the inspiration there may very well be a sequel and/or prequel involved ^w^..or maybe even many stories. Who knows what the future will bring?
*Will you be posting this story on GT Lovers? I have yet to decide that.... I know for a fact it will be on my DA page (there's a link to my DA page on my profile here..)...But other than that, I'm not sure.....>____>.
Expect a teaser here eventually at least XP
