    Destiny Dreams: Somnium Terminus was supposed to be the end of my Destiny Dreams series. Deep down I realized a couple of things.

    1: I've been stretching this particular storyline (involving the Nameless Group) for quite a while and needed to end it. 

    2: Hardly anyone from the time I did the original Destiny Dreams is still around. The only ones I can think of would be Elec and Master Toki, to whom I am grateful for sticking around in this story for that long. 

    Sadly my plans did not come to light, but this has been a learning experience for me as a role-player as I've been having some rough times on the site, but that's getting off-topic. Although it did not end the way I wanted it too, it still ended, which is good because I don't want the story to die, I want it to end, and hopefully I'll be able to do that in the next installment knowing what I did wrong in this one and improving on making it a good RP. 
    As for my favorite part? Well I think the site change and lack of posting may have led to its early demise, but it did lead to some interesting character development for one of my favorite created evil characters, the Gamemaster. But that is second to the fact that I am amazed that two people have stuck around with this series; it's great to see that they have remained interested after all this time.

    Mavrickindigo started Destiny Dreams: Somnium Terminus, and was, therefore, the first person to join it. He wrote 57.76% of the story, doing so in forty-six posts.

    I have to say that this had a lot of potential. I kind of enjoyed it whenever the plot began to move but... It really could've been better, if it hadn't seemed like it was rushed as if to meet a deadline. The plot progression was extremely slow and the battles were both too spaced out and too clustered together at the same time. It didn't help for the group to be split up for an indefinite period of time either. Finally, when they did get back together, there was Toki's trademark battle-hogging. I really think that this could have been better. Sorry.

    Elec was the second person to join the RP, and wrote 10.20% of the story, doing so in fourteen posts.

    I joined this RP because I thought it'd be easy to post to (I'd had my fill of taking an hour to make a post due to necessary research and such). However, I turned out to be very wrong. Mavrick wanted Destiny Dreams: Somnium Terminus to end his series, and tie up all the loose ends and such. However, this resulted in a story that was just overly convoluted, and it became a headache to even think about the RP. Seriously, this thing was like a 5000-piece jigsaw puzzle... there were just too many things going on at the same time, and it was virtually impossible to keep track or make sense of it all. Being touted as the final installment of the series, this story had potential, but it was handled poorly, and, as such, the thing just flunked. Meh.

    Ricky was the third person to join Destiny Dreams: Somnium Terminus. He wrote 9.75% of the story, doing so in fifteen posts.
