User blog:Krayfish/New changes to humans

There's going to be a new change to the status of humans. It's bringing back a very old idea of them being precursors to the present day races. Basically, humanity explored the galaxy on their own and ran into very little, if any, space faring civilizations. So to populate the galaxy, they decided to leave artifacts behind and influence other more primitive alien civilizations.

As always, humans will still remain open to be edited by anyone. Feel free to post questions.

How this will fit into the timeline

 * Everything from the time of the Omni to the present would be moved up by several thousand years. This should not affect any existing storyline.  All the current dates (i.e. 2142) would be retconned as being measured by a new calendar.
 * Humans would have come a generation before the Omni, and they would have been their direct predecessors.
 * The status of them being scattered and not unified will remain the same. They would have survived to the present day through a number of means such as cryogenics or cloning.
 * Humans would have suddenly vanished for some reason leaving the Omni to develop in their place. It may or may not have to do with Novarckas.
 * The War on Gaea would no longer be part of the continuity.

Miscellaneous ideas

 * Steve was once part of GC canon. The guy from Spore that gave you the Staff of Life.  Perhaps he could be brought back in some manner?
 * One of the prevailing issues of science fiction is its tendency to become dated after several years. If we stick to say the style of retro-futurism, we would not really have to be worried so much about this.  Humanity's development could mirror that of 60's/70's science fiction for example.
