We can do better than that, I think. And I know this group is full of talent and creativity. Post below your suggestions, thoughts, and ideas on the canon. I've included some gaps that we could used filled in. Ideas that haven't really been touched in the canon are open to just about any ideas you want to throw out, although those that have had canon content created may need to be reconciled. Canon content comes on a "first come, first serve" basis to be fair to ideas, but we will try to reconcile everybodies ideas, because it's all of our TerraEarth, not a select few of us!

Possible Accounts:
1. The migration, civilization and history of Dwarves.
Canon Content: Minimal
Creative License: Very High

2. The migration, civilization and history of Elves.
Canon Content: Minimal
Creative License: Very High

3. The migration, civilization and history of pre-schism Moon Tribe (57-98 T.D.)
Canon Content: Some
Creative License: High

4. The schism of the Moon Tribe (98 T.D.)
Canon Content: Some
Creative License: High... but it's Rainichan's show.

5. The migration, civilization and history of post-schism Moon Tribe (98- 121 T.D.)
Canon Content: Some
Creative License: High
[Note: Around 121 T.D. the Dark Comet turns them into Demons... so your history must stop around there. Also note that the Moon Tribe is capable of Interstellar Travel]

6. The migration, civilization and history of humans.
Canon Content: Minimal
Creative License: Very High

7. The Territory Incident (aka The War of Expansion)
Canon Content: Notable
Creative License: Some
[Note: I've pretty much got this war all figured out, but I would be interested in skirmish, soldier deployment and the impact on civilians. Be sure to read that segment of the timeline before posting ideas. Note that Rainichan was a little girl at this time, who was saved by boxxleman, and that Aoiga was serving as a young Bladesman during this war. Also in the war were Captain Montefore of Evegrow, eFlare, and KaleFlame. Aoiga was repsonsible for ending the war. The first battle was the surprise attack on Kineti and the final battle was the siege of Paninske by TerraEarthian military.]

8. Alternate Dimensions
Canon Content: Outside of TCOITE, Minimal
Creative License: High... but confirm with SoulBlazerFan.
[Note: The concept of alternate dimensions and alternate TE's is really SBFs show, but they are a part of the canon... so the possibilities are pretty much endless.]

9. Alternate Worlds
Canon Content: Some
Creative License: High
[Note: Besides TerraEarth, there is an unnamed planet that was occupied by the Moon Tribe, the Moon itself, Rysun (Jason Tandro's home planet), Hyrule (tay120n64's home planet), a celestial anomaly (which gets destroyed early in TE:A), and Phoenicia which is the home of Arashi.]

10. Post TE:A-B-C Ideas.
Canon Content: None
Creative License: Infinite
[Note: Yeah, pretty much any TE history that is post 370 T.D. and onwards is up for grabs. It still needs to conform to the already established canon content from the "past", but other than that, have a blast!]

I'll post other ideas for assignments and more specific ones as we need them.

As a note, the Disputed Territories thing is part of my history and it's touched upon in said history.

Bio: Raini 'Rainichan' Takai was born to her parents in a now-burned village on a long-forgotten small continent on the outskirts of TerraEarth. The village of Kineti was a small village on the ocean, surrounded by lots of forest, and was frequented by rainstorms. Born with an innate ability for magic, up until the war, Raini was trained in her magical ability, learning every trick in the book to fast casting, strong magic, and how to conserve her power until it was really needed. Raini, along with a few other young children her age, developed their abilities, up until the war happened. Among the inhabited parts of land, there had always been disputes about the validity of who lived there and their lineage, and the rulers only wanted more land. It reached a breaking point when one of the opposing larger cities sent in their army under cover of night. All hell broke loose, and the territories went to war. At this time, it was out of the jurisdiction of Boxxleman, so nothing could be done.

Many innocent lives were lost, and the invading army that attacked Kineti wanted no trace of survivors to lay claim to the village or any sort of family line. So, they laid waste to the small army of soldiers left to defend the few villages on the outskirts of the continent, and torched the houses, families inside or not. Any that tried to flee were killed. Once their objective was finished, they left, waiting for the rains to come and douse the fires. Raini, at the time, was small enough to not be too affected by the smoke in her own house, and laid still on the ground. Her mother tried to keep her covered and safe from the smoke, but it was a futile effort. The cries of others had already faded into the dusk, and it was looking to be hopeless.

However, after what seemed an eternity, Raini could hear her mother speaking to someone in her daze, and it wasn't long before her mother moved aside and she got to see a figure before her: it was Boxxleman. He had come to save as many as he could, and bring them to safety in the confines of TerraEarth under his rule. Few were taken from the continent, and brought back to South Cape, where they were taken care of. During her stay in South Cape, besides further honing her magic abilities, she became versed in physical combat to help herself out while in tight spots. The more she grew up, the better she became at it, though magic was still her stronger suit.

During a stint with weapons training, Raini found her weapon of choice: the mallet. It turned into squeaky mallets, and soon, it was an arsenal of the weapon (though hardly a weapon at all, you could say) in all shapes and sizes. Mallets, the non-squeaky kind, were also employed by her in order to deal more damage, though the squeaky kind did their fair share of damage, coupled with her ability to fight and cast magic.

Soon, after a time, she decided to live in South Cape, instead of leaving as all the other refugees had done over the years. However, jobs were scarce, and instead she turned to be an adventurer. Life was much more tough, and definitely not so noble and honourable, but that hardly mattered. Rarely did Raini work with others on a job, and when she did, it was in a job she wasn't trusted to do on her own. On more than one occasion her partner turned on her, wanting the glory for his or her own self, but they were never able to silence or kill her. Things were never too pleasant in South Cape upon her return, mainly because the king was disliked by many of those who were not of the higher class. Adventurers were regarded with little tolerance and were looked upon with spite and sometimes even malice. However, it was the adventurers who rallied the commoners and those living in poorer conditions than even the commoners and most of the adventurers against the king. Raini was one of those who led the uprising, and once it was over, a decision was made to leave South Cape for a while, if only to find out what had happened in the war that had destroyed the village she had once called home.

Along the way for her quest for the truth and to perhaps confront someone who had orchestrated the entire civil war, Raini was helping those she could. The help that she provided was either paid for in a few gems here or there, but when it was someone she knew that needed the money more, Raini would smile and say "No, that's all right, you keep it. Finishing the job to see you and yours happy was payment enough." before moving on, even if it meant no food for herself while traveling. Finally after some time traveling, she picked up a piece of information from another wandering adventurer about where a prince who had gotten much too greedy for his own good was staying on holiday. Hoping this was a good tidbit of information, Raini went to confront him. It was a longer road to travel, but that mattered little. Those she helped along the way gave her the gems she needed to keep going, and few that had no money instead gave her small things of food to carry along. Along the path that she traveled, the villagers and townsfolk could only say good things about her, giving her the nickname of 'Rainichan', something that to them meant more than any other words could describe.

Finally reaching the vacation home, Raini stole into the house and crept around until she found where the prince was reading. It wasn't long before she tackled him to the floor, demanding her answers. As it turned out, he had been behind the entire war some years ago, wanting the land for himself and his kingdom. As much as the want to kill the man hit her and demanded to be given in to, there was no death that night. Instead, he got away with a light beating, and the angry words from someone whose life was ruined and which died. There was begging for forgiveness, and that was when Raini left, before she could be caught. Her revenge had been taken, and that was fine with her. Perhaps, though, by some miracle, her parents were alive. That was a hope that never left her.

Upon returning to South Cape, she was approached by Boxxleman, who had heard of the things she had done for those around TerraEarth, opting to make her one of his guards of the world of TerraEarth, so to speak. It was there that she was acquainted with those she would eventually call teammates, and starting something more with fellow teammate Freedan, or so it appeared to everyone else.

Also, it's not just the Moon Tribe I'm touching on, since ancient languages goes along with both the Astaricans and the Moon Tribe (though I guess that they're sort of one and the same), just throwing that out there.

[SoulBlazerFan]

I created the 27 worlds of TerraEarth really as a plot device... however it's my belief that the technology in TCOITE only goes to these worlds because of the being(s) that control that universe only let those of TE: Prime go there. There might be any infinite (Literally) amounts of worlds that exist, including all others, includin Jason's canon, anyone elses, heck, even the SB Trilogy could theoretically exist all in the same "TerraVerse".

[Jason Tandro]

@ Raini: I updated your "specialties". By the by, your backstory is one of the key plot devices in TE:A, so I really owe a lot to you!

@SBF: True, but let's face it, you are the man when it comes to the alternate universe theory. I suppose that is a good way to look at it though. Since there could be literally an infinite number of terraearths, that means there really is an infinite amount of material that could be added.
