:: HISTORY OF LNR UNIVERSE ::
From the Author...
The Land of No Return was first created back in the Fall of 1999, around September 25. The Land of No Return started as a joke, as a mystical flying island full of wide-eyed freaky monsters.
The first monster created was Monk. Monk's name was originally spelled "Munk" but got renamed sometime later by accident. Monk was created based on a wide-eyed monkey in a ZooBooks magazine. The next monster was Prisem. Prisem was to be yet more annoying than Monk - Prisem had MANY wide eyes! Afterward, Crystal was created to be a diamond full of wide eyes, and then I combined Prisem and Crystal to create Emerald. Mr. I came soon after, he was named that because of his one eye. One very large eye. Spyke was to be the monster with many large annoying eyeballs. Now with all these wide-eyed monsters, I decided to combine them all to create Wizeman, the most wide-eyed annoying monster. Finally, I created Twilite, who would be the monster that follows guests on The Land of No Return, and transforms them into monsters whenever they look back. I later drew out the original map of The Land of No Return, which differs from the map that is used now.
Later, in the Spring of 1999, new monsters were created: Ico, Wizeman's loyal assistant; Clawz, who was originally Synan's first monster; Orb, who inhabited the lake on The Land of No Return's original map. For a time, that was all. I then created the Dark Stone, which Synan wore on his arm, which gave him super powers and a nifty golden flame. Then, Veronica was created as a character. Veronica was originally that pitch black form and nothing else, and was called Veronica Virus. Then, I began to write the original version of the LNR Universe story. In the old story, Ico turned against Wizeman and stole the Dark Stone he had on his head, which contained Veronica Virus. After being nearly defeated, the stone fell off his head and shattered, allowing Veronica to escape. Ico was imprisoned in ice and banished to Earth, on an island known as Ico Island.
After the first chapter of the old story, I created the second called the "Earth Series" in which Veronica comes back to take over the Earth and her good clone Veronicus wouldn't allow it, starting a huge war between the two. Then were created the monsters of the elements: Lightning, Water, Fire, and Earth. Those characters no longer exist.
I had gotten through forty chapters in the old story. Eventually Veronica calms down, and then she gives power to the sleeping Deity who was dormant below the waters. Synan's team (Synan, Zoe, James, and Sarah) were imprisoned in an ice cave underwater for seven years, when they became adults to fight the Deity. New characters Sage and Kail were created then.
After a good section of the story was wiped out, I started over. I created a new map, new monsters, and a new plot - changing characters Veronica, Kail, and Sage to be Synan's children of the future.
I wrote the journal of Synan first, which had 40 chapters just like the old story. Afterward I wrote Syrus' journal that weaves through Synan's, and in 2002 I wrote Veronica's story, which is the summary of the other two. The LNR Universe website has changed a lot, too, from 1999 untill now.
