Hi, everyone!
Below is the confirmed storyline for O2, and the backgrounds of all the Pirates and Patriots. OG Crew Heads can now start brainstorming with their OGLs about the mascots. Since Tuesday is a holiday, you can use the time to shop for Crew Identities, as well as the things required for mascot designs.
We suggest that all OG Crew Heads also collect one dollar from each OGL (OGLs only! not participants) for all the purchases needed. Let's give a little something to O2 and the Crew!
The Legend
Millions of years ago, a meteor strike wiped out all of humanity. Prior to that unfortunate incident, though, the world was a different place altogether. It was an era when legends were born and heroes emerged, as humans could attain supernatural powers.
The four greatest Pirates before the meteor strike were having a meeting at the Bermudas on a grand strategy to conquer Victoria Island - an island that is strategically situated in the middle of the world and thus, had the potential to be the most vital place of trade.
Unfortunately, during the meeting, the Pirates had a huge quarrel amongst themselves. They summoned their elemental and psychic powers to fight against each other. The superpowers that they unleashed simultaneously were so overwhelming that they led to the creation of a worm hole in the Bermuda Islands, allowing them to venture into a place without time and space.
Soon, however, the Pirates were propelled into the world in 2402. Victoria Island now boasts the greatest and most advanced civilisation in the world. It is where the intelligentsia thrives and creates new, groundbreaking ideas to develop better technologies for human life. Due to its strategic location and abundant rare and vital resources, Victoria Island has now become a crucial international hub for trading activities.
The re-appearance of the Pirates of the pre-ancient world on a fateful Wednesday morning became a source of troubles. Having learnt from their mistake, they worked together to conceptualise a water-tight plan to invade Victoria Island. Detector radars on Victoria Island received information of the incoming Unidentified Floating Objects from the satellites in space. It was red alert. The wisest people and the most intelligent gathered to have a meeting to counter the imminent attack. Research was swiftly done and they realised that these were Pirates who had superpowers that technologies of today could not defeat.
The Victoria Islanders decided to use their last resort, the most risky choice of all – to use the time machine. They invited the four greatest legendary forces of all time also known as the Patriots to aid them in the counter attack.
The fate of the world and Victoria Island was at stake. The victory of the Pirates would mean a return to the days of supernatural legends and mythical powers, but on the other hand, the Patriots’ success would allow the world to continue advancing into the future. Only the stronger one shall prevail.
Pirates
Vertigo
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the Martians were already curious about the existence of water, which is found abundantly on Earth. So, in order to find out and learn more about the amazing substance, the Martians created a hybrid robot with human flesh. The Martians have placed in this robot a very advanced chip, which allowed it to adapt to any environment and circumstances. The Martian had intended the robot to land on land and conduct the water experiments there. However, due to the Earth’s leap years, they miscalculated the 0.02 seconds that made the robot fell onto the Antarctica instead. The robot did not get destroyed, though, and it learnt to live in icy cold water. The robot became acquainted with the sea and adapted itself as programmed. It even acquired the ability to control the different states of water, and regulate air and liquid pressure. A pirate ship drifted to the South Pole due to a mistake in navigation, but that mistake caused the pirates to meet the robot. Due to its super powers, the robot soon took the lead in the ship. Ever since then, the robot was known as Vertigo, as it could cause vertigo in its enemies by elevating them high in the sky and constantly changing the pressure around them.
Ino
Ino and Themisto were the wives of King Athamas. One day, he embarked on a 10 month, inter-continental expedition. Before he left on his camels, he told his wives to treat each other well. However, the ignorant king did not realise that they were bitter rivals and hated each other tremendously. Athamas also did not know that Ino was conceived. Nine months later, Ino delivered the baby and Themisto, the first wife, became jealous, as she knew that the child would cause Athamas to favour Ino and shower her with attention. Therefore, on one of the nights when Ino and her baby were fast asleep, Themisto captured Ino and took the baby as her own. Then, she threw Ino into the sea. Ino did not die, though, and her super duper strong will to keep on living impressed the Olympian Gods, who immortalised her and named her the White Water Goddess. Due to her hatred against Themisto, she decided to use her powers to protect the pirates on the sea and destroy the people on the land.
Creama
There was an island called Creamaland and the people are called Creamarians. Creama was born on Creamaland. His parents named him after the island hoping him to live an influential and noble life. One day, a pirate ship was stranded on Creamaland. The pirates were starving and Creama saw the stranded ship while he was working. He saw that the pirates were sickly and suffering from malnutrition. With his fantastic culinary skills, he saved them by feeding them! Then he became the chief chef in the pirate ship. After becoming a pirate, Creama toured the world and learnt about more and more rare herbs and spices. His culinary talents and sharp olfactory sense helped him to mix them with precise and perfect ratios, making his food tasting like ambrosia – food for the Gods. Creama’s cooking also made the crews on his ship stronger than any men on Earth and bigger than ordinary men.
Trident
The Trident, a 3 pronged staff or spear, is associated with Poseidon, the God of the Sea in Greek mythology. By hitting the Earth with his Trident, Poseidon created horses and some water sources in Greece. Other Roman Gods such as Neptune also used Tridents as staffs and generated earthquakes and new bodies of water. Hearing of the Trident’s supernatural powers, all the pirates of unknown waters went to search for it. In the end they found it in the heart of Acrifa. Ever since then, the Tridents protected them during heavy winds and those who were equipped with the Tridents could swiftly clear obstacles in land and control wind, instilling tremendous fear in the Patriots.
Patriots
Oompas
Originating from the deep jungles of Anazom, the Oompas established one of the earliest civilisations ever to exist on Earth, even before the Greeks, Romans, or the Chinese. Despite their minuscule size, they were highly intelligent, passionate, and most importantly, extremely enthusiastic. They would sing, dance, and cheer while working and such vivacity helped them to build a strong, prosperous, and happy community in the jungles. They even lived peacefully with wild animals and consumed only fruits and vegetables. One of their greatest strengths, however, was their uncanny ability to speak to nature and listen to its voice in return. In addition, they could move and work at the speed of light, defying time and the Physics formula O2=Fa+iL.
Riddick
Centuries ago, young Riddick was born onboard a ship bound to Victoria Island. Sadly, a group of evil pirates ambushed the ship and killed his mother. Fortunately, a crew member managed to carry Riddick into a small boat, and in the midst of the furious fight to defend the ship, the two of them sailed away. After two days, they were stranded on Victorian shores, and the crew member took care of Riddick from then on. Riddick grew to be a strong and valorous swordsman, and he swore to avenge his mother’s death. As his hatred towards the pirates grew stronger and stronger, his immense powers became even greater. He could kill monstrous, gigantic dragons single-handedly and even lift a mountain. With the perfection of his amazing super power skills, it is time for Riddick to prove himself in the battle against the Pirates.
Incas
Incas is the son of the sun. He was sent by the Sun God to protect the native tribes of the Tedinerramean from the minority barbarians. He taught them how to make fire by using lenses to converge light, and his healing powers saved the tribes from all epidemics. On top of that, he could call for rain, simply by raising his hand, and in the same manner, he could instantly stop it. Under Incas’ protection, the Tedinerrameans thrived and lived a peaceful, harmonious existence. Crop harvests multiplied exponentially, and they became the rich dominators of the region.
Atlantis
Atlantis was an island that possessed a wealth of natural resources. Poseidon fell in love with a beautiful and seductive mortal from Atlantis. They gave birth to octoplets (i.e. eight sons, not octopuses), and the island was divided among them. These eight kings united their resources, might, and power to defend the island and build it into a majestic kingdom. Zeus felt threatened by the increasing influence of the Atlantis kingdom and decided to announce the Zeus Doctrine, which entailed the sinking of the entire island. The Kings of Atlantis, however, did not relent. Overtime, they developed the ability to breathe under water and they knew the seven seas at the back of their palms. They became the conquerors of the undersea world, and their determination sealed their names as some of the greatest patriots of all time.

O2 Games Details
To all Elects:
Hi all, Mark here! Games ICs needing to make an announcement!
As we are all busy preparing for O2, I need to make an urgent announcement, going out to all elects.
As you all know, game stations need game-masters, so here are some of the crucial files that you need to look through as a game-master.
Dhilshad and myself will inform you on Monday who will be game masters and for which day. (Because no two days have same game masters) Just do take note we need about 35 game masters.
So here are the following that you need to take note of:
Please do look through the files and call me or Dhilshad if you have any queries!
Monday's training (going through games) for game masters will probably happen when OGLs are having their mass dance training.
Thank you!
