loop holes
5 years in the making and the story of MessiahZ is pretty much shit. Even I can't remember a bulk of what was previously discussed as far as the story is concerned. There's no fixed setting and the background story is virtually non-existent. I thought that everything would come naturally the moment I start drawing but no it doesn’t, not if I want it to make sense. So after some thought I’ve decided to revamp the story into something more than what a 15 year old can conceive, that’s how old I was when I though of it.
The original MessiahZ was named such in reference to the Christian faith, many of the associations should be considered blasphemy but at that time, it’s just cool. Because it was largely character oriented, a bulk of the story was thought up of in order to piece and relate the characters and in the process, there’s this huge mess. Now that I know more about shit and stuff, some things just didn’t make sense.
Imagine a world in the near future in some ways very much like ours but without religion. The advancement in the various fields of technology and medicine are nothing like we can imagine. In this world, everyone lives in comfort without the need for any manual labour, those are taken care of by machines. Everyone is an intellect and everyone works in their various fields for the advancement of man kind. With all human resources devoted to research and development, the growth of technology is exponential.
Religion is now history, categorized under myths and legends in the history textbooks used by the youths. With more awareness, people have come to recognize that religion is nothing more that mythology and stories told by our ancestors as a convenient answer to questions they couldn’t yet explain.
However this façade of a picture perfect world hides a reality none of those living in comfort would ever want to know of. As humans, we can never stray from politics, from power. The struggle for control, for dominance still exists. It would be arrogant to think that peace did not come with a price; we are after all only human. The battle between good and evil, light and dark, did not stop with the absence of religion, cliché as it sounds.
The “Noah’s Journal” was kept safely by Metatron, however the prophecy within was duplicated when it was in Airlantian custody. Encoded into a crystal, the information remained fossilized within the ruins of Airlantian until an archeological expedition uncovered it. It took many years before the information was successfully read and even then, it took even longer before the information was translated into that we are able to understand. It foretold everything up until the birth of the MessiahZ. It spoke of the powers the MessiahZ and the angels wield and that struck fear in the existing powers. And the search begins. The search to protect and the hunt to annihilate.
Any injury can be healed without any visible traces but there is a limit to the number of times it can be done. What happens is that cells are rapidly multiplied artificially in the healing process so even when all injuries can be healed, humans are still unable to attain immortality. As written in “Noah’s Journal”, the MessiahZ and the angels are perfect entities. In this case untouched by modern medicine. Because their powers only awaken when they are 15, anyone without a medical history then automatically become targeted and are subjected to investigation. To make this search even easier, a injury prone activity was introduced to the masses. NEGAV, a chimera of various activities.
I hope the above plug some of the loop holes I left in the story of MessiahZ, linking bits of it and making sense of it.
PS. I want the Sousei no Aquarion Chogokin by BANDAI. Too bad it's still damn damn damn expensive. I just hope it gets reissued in june next year.
