Emailed (in-game) all those who have made their interest known.
For others concerned, or if you did not receive it for any old reason, we are planning on 8pm central time, under the Prometheus statue in Atlas Park (the statue in the middle of the pond west of City Hall.)

A True Beginning
The idea was simple enough: Rather than think up a concept, storyline, theme, group name, costumes, and back-story by myself, why not bring a bunch of interested people together, people who merely wanted to create "something" and do just that. It brings fresh ideas to the table, most likely things that never crossed my mind, and makes for an end-product in which everyone involved wants to participate, because they helped create it.
Thus, the ChronoKnights were conceived.
[The Fun Stuff a.k.a. The Lore]
The Well of the Furies has been around for eons, popping up here and there in history, but for the most part remaining dormant... until lately. It is no secret that The Well has suddenly began granting hereto unseen strengths and abilities to those individuals whom it deems powerful enough and worthy, but that is by no means the limits of its actions. The Well has witnessed, and granted power to, the greatest heroes and deities in history. Though those beings have since been forgotten or passed on, their essences live on in The Well. And The Well has decided to release them.
The souls of great beings from throughout history have found themselves in new bodies, through a bonding process much like when a Kheldian merges with a human. Civilians have suddenly found themselves with knowledge and abilities they never had before, and in some cases, memories of a life not their own. But time has had an unkind influence, and the combination of these aged souls with civilians who are ignorant of their potential has left these individuals as but shadows of their former selves. A small few have found each other and banded together, with the goal of honing their abilities and to offer a home to any individual whose life has been irrevocably changed by The Well.
Recognizing that all of their powers originate from figures throughout history, they call themselves The ChronoKnights.
[The Technical Stuff a.k.a. How The Group Operates]
We are stationed on Justice and operate in a much lighter form of RP, sculpting a character's journey from a third-person perspective, rather than focusing on first-person interaction (though we welcome that as well). The idea of this group was/is to build something from the ground up; start at the very beginning. With that, though the first members were from different servers, we decided to start on a server which was home to none of us (Justice). Individuals can, if they so choose, transfer themselves a little start-up inf. via the game's global emails, but overall, each character is starting from total scratch as if The Well has quite recently cosmically smacked them with abilities, and they have only now decided to test out their new powers.
We operate in a world of self-generated consequences. As a group, we decided that, while we should take advantage of the benefits available in-game, we should also try to up the stakes for our characters. Our main guidelines:
- Any action we complete influences the direction of the group's and/or individual's path. This is fairly self-explanatory: any action has an effect, we just decide what that is and how/if it changes the story.
- Task Forces are one-time opportunities, until your character gains access to Ouroboros or reaches level 35. This is about maintaining realism within the story: Task Forces are repeatable content by design, but theoretically it should be impossible to repeat it until you are able to traverse time (thus the Ouroboros necessity). And by level 35 we figure that these souls with which our characters are infused, having traversed time once already, can do it again, enabling them to repeat certain tasks.
- Within an instanced mission, should you be defeated, there is no "Go To Hospital" button. This is merely about raising the danger level of even the simplest mission. We want to encourage forethought and caution. Even the most successful, greatest heroes and villains of universes outside the game usually plan their move before making it. In simple terms, use common sense, and make sure you have an Awaken or two before starting your mission.
Finally, as our characters have been infused with souls of old, every characters name in the group begins with either 'Renewal of...' or 'Essence of...' For example, if you were to embody the power of the Egyptian sun-god Ra, your name might be '(The) Essence of Ra.'
To recap:
[Joining The ChronoKnights a.k.a. ... Well, How To Join The Group
Joining is relatively simple. The easiest way is to post your interest here, with a character idea (i.e. which historical figure would be your influence). Then log in to Justice with that character. At least one of our leaders will hopefully be on nightly, and you can get to work. The other way is to simply log in with the character and try to find us, but if you post here first, we'll know you're coming and we can look for you.
[Addressed Concerns, to be edited/updated as needed]
- There is no attendance requirement. Logging on at least once in a 30 day period and putting up some prestige numbers will be enough to maintain your membership (unless you notify the leaders of a planned absence).
- Any scheduled events are "come if you can/would like to participate."
- Leveling Pacts are encouraged, but by no means required. Playing in a group like this can be easier with friends, particularly ones that will be there for every step of your character's way.
- Our definition of RP is more based on storyline/arc rather than first-person play/interaction, though it is definitely allowed.
If you, or someone you know, has recently received a blast from the past (so to speak) by The Well of the Furies, we encourage you and/or them to get in touch with us write away.
