So we have a basic outline of a story in the design document, and I remember bart coming up with a bit more story in irc, but I thought we might want to flesh it out a bit now that we are moving towards quests, experience and leveling up.
So I'd like to put forward a little idea.
When ever anything in this game dies, it turns into energy, and every living thing is basically a physical shell holding in energy, including Xeon.
we've already agreed that energy turned the ancient race into these insects, and if we bring in insectoid humanoids, then they could be some kind of transitional phase or evolutionary form.
So I'm thinking that the central energy force is sentient, and controlling or creating all of these beings, as some kind of evolutionary algorithm to determine the most effective physical form.
So it could be some creature from a parralel universe, who was brought into this unverse by the old race, probably after promising them great power, but it didn't knowhow to control them well and destroyed them. Since then it has been learning how to control matter and is now poised to expand through the galaxy.
