A notion came upon me, after seeing Kei's recent OOC thread and Leons recent IC 'farewell' thread.
The majority of us have been bonded over this board for quite a few years now, and the characters have aged and developed along with ourselves as people. It's really been quite remarkable to look at the differences in some of the characters, but it got me to to thinking...
What if we looked even FURTHER into the future?
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I've been considering reviving our long-dead Non-Canon board to create a new subsection of roleplaying for a brief spell.
XIN: Twenty Years On.
Basically, it's self-explanatory. All threads would take place in 2028, twenty years after the current timeline. For the sake of things, certain liberties would be taken to make things make sense. Though a few threads would be some sort of reunion, the principle is just to show what your character would be doing in that time. They could be anywhere in the world, so it's not like they'd be expected to remain in San Francisco or indeed America, and doing anything.
This, of course, isn't a thread for people to say 'Well, [insert character name] would be [insert explanation]'. Save it, think about it, and in a couple of weeks, the section will open up for these threads.
Personally, I think it's a pretty interesting notion. Anyone with ideas or thoughts pertaining to it, feel free to add them. Honestly, all suggestions are welcome.

Personally I think it’s an interesting idea. It’s kind of a way for us to take characters and compare them to our views of them twenty years from now. Changes in looks, personality, physique and so on, meaning we could end up with a completely different character.
I have to wonder though; would we insert any world issues into it, just for the sake of plot/storyline if people wanted to use it? The current economy, president, world order, second coming of Jesus, etc. What would the current situation of all this be? Has California sunk yet?
Anyway, it sounds interesting and I’ll be wanting to try it.

Aww I feel so special now~!
You know what, I'll actually participate in this. In my final thread I kinda gave a Pirates 3 ending to show what will become of him, but then again my real reason is because, well... it kills me to admit I won't be able to RP Kei anymore. My first character on my first board... but, yeah. Hehe. Wasn't this a suggestion anyways, a long time ago when Emil made that In Ten Years- thread?

Sure, it sounds like a good idea... but I am 100% sure that everyone will have become a big name this or a big name that... I mean, you don't want to see your character in the dumpster as some low life bum that got drunk again... but it is certainly fun to do cause it will show with what ambitions we've been rping our characters...

I think this is a great Idea. I think a few people on this board would be quite surprised to find out where I think Zeniro will be in 20 years time.

Non-Canon = Mreh... Don't take things TOO seriously!
Meaning, I don't think it'll hurt if people decide to take and alternate-reality route with their characters' futures. I personally wouldn't mind participating in this somehow. It's just a matter of figuring out how this'll be RP'd...
