Start now? Okay.

The review as I see it, let me know if I miss anything:

The story started with the assasination of the Station Square President by a mysterious black Hedgehog with a gun. Coupled with that was the destruction of ARK, which plunged to the planet and caused widespread devastation all over, and the two incidents together were enough to plunge the whole world into anarchy and chaos. The former heroes were nowhere to be found in this new world, and gang warfare prevailed. One of the primary gangs was the one run by Sachio and Morgaine (I have, however, forgotten the name of their gang, unfortunately.) who had a base on the south side in an old hotel. The other major power was Lucent the Bat and his 'Nocturnes' who had holed up in St. Kindlebury's Hospital in the northern downtown area, and over to the east a third, smaller gang calling themselves the 'Neo Freedom Fighters' had taken over a large warehouse, setting themselves up as a law enforcement vigilante group under the command of Wraith the Echidna, Knuckles' older brother and former Freedom Fighter himself.

At the very beginning of the action Tails, who had been in hiding for a long while during the chaos, was being confronted by Sachio and Morgaine about the Chaos Emeralds, watched by a lone Cheetah named Trey with only a single arm. Tails was eventually left for dead, and Trey took him into his hideout to allow him to recover. Meanwhile Wraith and co heard about a possible sighting of Tails and set out to search for him, taking along Arista, a young Vixen who was a long time friend or Wraith's and had been rescued from Sachio and Morgaine's torturous clutches just a few months ago. At the same time on the outskirts of the city, a certain egg-shaped evil genius who everybody considered dead is conspiring with some ex-GUN officials about rumours of a certain black Hedgehog with a gun playing hero in the city and stopping gang fights, and this is not to their liking. In the hopes of stopping this situation, they recruit the dark Hedgehog Frost into their service, charging him with the killing of this new gun-toting Hedgehog, and the capture of the other heroes aside from Knuckles, who is already in their custody. Also, they require him to collect the seven Chaos Emerals, which are instrumental to their plans, and wish the current chaotic state of affairs in the city to continue. They provide him with the blue emerald in their posession to get him started.

As the Neo Freedom Fighters are out looking for Tails, the Nocturnes are clearing up some buisness of their own in another part of the city, and it is revealed that their leader Lucent is in posession of the yellow chaos emerald. As they return to their base, however, they are attacked by Azieral, an assasin ninja spider who seems intent on killing the bat. They fight, but after a while it becomes clear that in reallity Azieral simply wants to join Lucent's gang, which he agrees to. In a seperate development, within a strange hidden factory deep in the slums, an experimental servant robot that had been in storage for several years is accidentally activated. Calling itself David, it sets out into the city looking for it's lost creator, Doctor Dillan Amoz (who unbeknowest to him is reported as dead), and after a short encounter with Lucent and Azieral, eventually comes across Wraith and his group. With David's help Wraith locates Trey's hideout and Tails within, and they all return to the Neo Freedom Fighter's warehouse, agreeing that they're all on the same side. As they go, however, Trey mentions a small detail about the hideout of Sachio and Morgaine, which Arista picks up on, secretly wanting revenge for her parents who died at the twins' hands, and takes to heart. Meanwhile Azieral is confronted by a certain Captain Warrick of GUN, and it turns out she is actually in the organisation's pay to kill Lucent, although secretly her loyalties are uncertain. As they part, Warrick catches a glimpse of Shadow nearby...apparently the Hedgehog is indeed still around, however he is confused, and claims not to have done any of the things he is accused of. While Azieral is away, Lucent is ambushed by Sachio, and they battle with ferocity...both of them eventually escape, however the towering inferno caused by their fight can be seen across the city, including from the Nocturnes base where the gang's nurse Myst, who cares for Lucent deeply thanks to their history, is watching.

As the night draws to a close, Warrick is attacked at GUN headquaters by Frost, looking for information about chaos emeralds and former heroes, but the man escapes and the Hedgehog GUN operative Camron Shaide makes an appearance to save him from a nasty fall. Frost finds out from other sources, however, that GUN have three chaos emeralds, one hidden in a base up in the cold north, another in the deserts of the equator, and the third nobody seems to know the location of. Armed with that info, Frost escapes. Back with the Neo Freedom Fighters, Tails reveals that he himself was the one that saw Shadow fleeing the scene of the President's assasination, but he can remember little of it. It's also revealed that Wraith has a chaos emerald of his own - the grey one, bringing the total number of emeralds located to 6. Frost encounters Shadow on his escape from GUN HQ, and in the ensuing battle the black Hedgehog falls to his death from the top of a skyscraper...

And I'll come back to this asap with the next section of recap. I'm currently on page four, about half way down, right before Wraith and his gang wake up, Ari goes awol, and Azieral and Plugg set off on their resupply mission. Sorry if I seem to be going overboard with the detail, but I'm trying to distill all the most important plot points and character points of characters that are still currently in the RP, and with an RP as complex as this, there's quite a few of them! Only 7 or 8 more pages to go tho lol^^

-----

EDIT: Recap continue -

In the Neo Freedom Fighter's base, Wraith wakes up to his second in command, the bulldog Max, telling him there's been a ram-raid on one of the downtown police stations. The gang swiftly mobilise to get after the crooks, but as they prepare they find that Arista has left, leaving a cryptic note asking them not to follow. Wraith believes it is his fault for telling her last night that he was in love with her, but Max takes David to go look for her, and Trey agrees to go along with them too. Azieral and the mentally challenged geko Plugg are sent off on a supplies mission by Lucent to pick up more medical equipment from another hospital, while the bat himself takes most of the gang with him in a hunt for Sachio and Morgaine's hideout. During his investigations, he is found by Arista, who has gone rogue looking for the twins herself, and when she hears who the bat is after, she immediately wants in on his quest!

On the highway, Wraith and some of his gang members chase down the thugs, eventually stopping them, however the situation devellops into a firefight and GUN swiftly interviene. Most of the gang members are caught, however Wraith escapes into the sewers with the help of one of his closest friends, how promptly dies from being shot by GUN. Wraith carries on, however he is badly injured himself, and it doesn't take the soldiers long to find him. They do not kill him, however, the leader instead performing an elaborate ruse to let him live, while making the GUN superiors think he is dead. This leader bears a somewhat striking resemblance to Trey. Meanwhile the battle on the freeway is watched by a mysterious Eagle named Sword, who pulls two of the thugs from the ram raid gang out of their wrecked car and takes them with him away from the scene. Wraith manages to contect Max, who immediately leaves David and Trey to the search for Ari while he sets out on his own to look for Wraith. As he does so, Trey comes across a strange cheetah girl who was being attacked by a couple of thugs, but when he tries to help out the girl fights him off and runs away. Shortly after the encounter, he also descoveres Ari, now surrounded by the legions of Nocturnes.

Wraith, meanwhile, escapes the sewers and is picked up by Plugg and Azieral on their way back from their supply mission. They bring him back to the Nocturnes' base and immediately set out after Lucent and his gang, while Wraith is looked after by Myst, who tends his wounds. The two start talking, and develop a kind of understanding between them, allowing Myst to confide some of her fears for Lucent in the echidna. Back in the downtown area, Lucent descovers Trey shadowing them and forces the cheetah and Arista to fight each other to prove the vixen's loyalty. They fight, but Trey manages to escape the scene before they are forced to kill each other, and with the aid of David shake off any tail from the Nocturnes gang. Lucent moves to attack Arista for her loss, however after a short battle in which Ari manages to momentarilly gain the upper hand, they seperate again, Lucent deciding to let her live out of a grudging respect for her abillities. During the fight, Ari also manages to swipe Lucent's chaos emerald. The group then continue towards Sachio and Morgaine's base, and along the way Plugg becomes quite infatuated with Ari, who starts to play mind games with him.

Shadow, as it happens, is not dead at all! He wakes up in an old abandoned room to find himself being attacked by a strange and mysterious female vulpine by the name of Athena, who seems to have a taste for blood. Wraith convinces Myst to let him use the phone at the Nocturnes' base, and finds out from Max that Ari has gone after Sachio and Morgaine with Lucent. Meanwhile the call gives Max the number to the place Wraith is currently hidden out, and he quickly heads back to base to find out where it is. Frost is contacted by his 'employers', who give him information on some of the dangerous figures in the area he is likely to meet - Lucent is marked for elimination, while Wraith is to be brought in for certain experiments to do with his implant. Trey, deciding he can work better on his own, leaves David and sets off after Ari and Lucent alone, leaving the robot to return to the Neo Freedom Fighter's base. Meanwhile Sword, who seems interested in the men he rescued for their weapon dealing connections, finds out from them about Sachio and Morgaine as potential customers or dealers, and sets off towards the south side beach himself. And lastly Plugg reveals to both Lucent and Ari that Wraith has been captured and is now waiting at the Nocturnes base for when they return.

And I'm up to the end of page 7-beginning of page 8. Gonna have to get some sleep now, but hopefully I'll be able to finish it off tomorrow, barring fire, flood or act of ISP.

By the way, I also sent a message to Sunsetfox on DA, so I'll let you know if and when she responds as to wether she'll be returning to play Jet and her other characters. Hopefully she will^^

And on~

Frost tracks down the seventh chaos emerald - the red one, bringing the number of emeralds in his posession to two. In his aquisition of the gem, however, he blows up a truck, alerting the Neo Freedom Fighters, who's base is not far away, to his presence. They send out a team to investigate what the commotion is all about, however Frost destroys them, and in the process learns the location of their base. The warehouse is now in his sights, but on his way there he meets a strange blind rat who seems to be some kind of sage, knowing things about him that the figure would have no way of knowing, and saying deep things that seem to stick in his mind. He ignores the man, but the encounter shakes him somewhat. Back at the Freedom Fighters' base, Max and the rest of the gang track the number Wraith called on to the hospital on the north side. Deciding to disobey Wraith's orders, Max organises a rescue mission, drafting in David for his strength and reactions, and Tails, who had been resting at the warehouse, insists on coming too. They leave, heading towards the Nocturnes base, but shortly after they go Frost attacks. The battle is brutal, with the Freedom Fighters putting up quite a fight, and even GUN and Captain Warrick arrives to back them up, but many of the gang are still killed. Not finding his target of Wraith, however, Frost leaves, and GUN takes control of the area, arresting any of the gang who have survived the onslaught.

Back at the beach hotel, Sword and his Overlander companions are picked up by Sachio and Morgaine's scouts, and Sachio immediately comes running to challenge them. Meanwhile Lucent, having located the enemy base, puts his plan into operation - while the main bulk of the Noctournes' forces attack the building head-on, he, Azieral and Ari are to infiltrate the place and take out Sachio and Morgaine directly, leaving the gang leaderless and vunerable. As they move in, however, they witness the scene with Sword, and Lucent immediately moves to attack Sachio, leaving his two companions stunned. The two hotheads begin to fight, and as they do Morgaine appears with her trusty whip. Seeing her chance, Ari moves to attack her, and they begin to battle too. Sword, meanwhile, after watching the various fights for a time, moves into Sachio and Morgaine's hotel to look for any info he can find about their weapons dealings. In the background, Trey is also present, watching the scene as he looks for Arista and Lucent.

As Max, Tails and David reach the Nocturnes' base, they are spotted by the guards outside, however Tails manages to trick them into thinking that he is really Lucent returned from his mission, and sends them all to guard the area around the hospital. Word filters through to Wraith and Myst, however, that Lucent has returned, and they immediately go to find him, Wraith worried for Ari's safety and the safety of the city if Lucent, Sachio and Morgaine are fighting, and Myst worried for the bat. The two groups meet, and after a moment of missunderstanding, they catch up on what is going on and begin to make plans. Wraith is intent on getting to the south side hotel as quickly as possible, to stop the gang war, and Tails and Max agree to go with him. Myst too accompanies them, for fear of what they may do to Lucent if they find him. Evading the guards outside, they set off, but along the way Max phones the warehouse to inform them of the situation and get the whole Neo Freedom Fighters force to join them near the beach.

Meanwhile in the downtown libary, two newcomers to the scene are doing some reaserch. The first, a weasel-like figure named Jet Kabochan, and his friend, a ferret with wings called Tech, are looking for any small clues they can find with regard to biological experiments and genetic reaserch programs, hoping to find something that may explain Jet's mysterious loss of memory for a large section of his life. As they search, however, they come under attack from a force of GUN robotic drones, and while they both manage to escape, they are seperated in the process. They eventually meet up again on the beach in an old boathouse, but in doing so they inadvertantly get drawn into the fight between Ari and Morgaine

The battle between Lucent and Sachio comes to a climax as, finally, the bat manages to push the hedgehog off a cliff, killing him. Weakened by his extremely severe injuries, however, Lucent then promptly collapses, falling unconsious where he lies. Azieral picks him up and brings him back to the beach, where she moves to watch the battle in the boathouse. Morgaine is giving Ari quite a fight, while Jet, reluctant to get involved, helps out a little wherever he can, however they eventually manage to knock the cruel gang leader out. Ari immediately tries to kill her, egged on by Azieral, but she finds she is unable to, her sence of justice and honor finally winning through thanks to a little unnexpected assistance from Jet, who's noble words of warning remind her of Wraith. Azieral prepares to do the deed herself instead, but then realises that GUN will pay handsomely for Morgaine as a prisoner, alive, and so ties her up in a web ready for delivery to the security force instead. Swiftly detouring to deliver Lucent's unconsious body to Plugg and the other Nocturnes outside the hotel, telling them to go home, she then picks up Sachio's corpse and sets off with both the twins towards GUN HQ.

Meanwhile Tech leaves the area, heading out to meet up with Amanda, a close friend of him and Jet. As he flies over the downtown area, though, he is forced to drop to the ground to avoid some GUN helicopters, and as he does so he comes across the swift, intelligent red squirrel Ianthe, a young woman who has apparently been surviving all alone out in the city for a number of years. She is mistrustful of him, however agrees to escort him to the river where he intends to meet up with Amanda, possibly out of concern for his safety, although such a caring motive is by no means certain. As they start to move, they are attacked by the same strange cheetah girl that Trey descovered earlier, but just like last time, she attacks then swiftly retreats, dissapearing into the maze of city streets once again without a sign.

Wow, not covered many pages in that section, but there was a whole lot to write! Looks like I won't be able to finish the recap tonight after all, but at least there's only 2 more pages to go^^ I'm now up to page 10, about half way down, just before Ianthe's first personallity switch and Warrick getting his GUN soldiers to impersonate the Neo Freedom Fighters on the phone. Shouldn't take too long to do that last bit, I'll try and finish it all tomorrow.

-----

Woo, more of it ~

Gun is taking control. On the beach, as Ari and Jet recover from their fight, a GUN helicopter lands and out steps the hedgehog Cam'Ron with a number of troops. They immediately arrest any of Sachio and Morgaine's gang left in the area, but are about to let Ari and Jet go, until they descover that Ari is part of the Neo Freedom Fighters and Jet has some history with GUN. Ari is shocked to learn that Wraith has been reported dead in GUN's files, so offers little resustance when she is taken prisoner, however she does still have Lucent's two most prized posessions - his chain weapon, and his chaos emerald. The two are taken back to GUN HQ, where Jet manages to escape and contact Amanda, however he can do little more than explain where he is before he is hit by a tranquilizer dart and recaptured. Meanwhile Trey, worried GUN's sweeps of the area will detect him too, prepares to leave for his hideout once again, however on the way he comes face to face with the eagle Sword, leading to an uneasy standoff between the two loners..

Meanwhile at the Neo Freedom Fighter's base, Max's phone call gets through just as Warrick is cleaning up the remnants of the fight with Frost. Warrick quickly gets one of the soldiers to impersonate the gang, and in the conversation he finds out that Wraith is not actually dead after all...perhaps the squad leader that reported him as dead needs a little more debriefing. Wraith and Max are not convinced by the soldier's performance on the phone, however, and Max takes David back to the warehouse to investigate. As they enter Max and Warrick begin to fight, the Captain finally gaining the upper hand and knocking Max out. This done, he then turns to David, and shocks the robot with the news that Dillan Amoz, his creator, is alive after all! All this time he has been under the protective custody of GUN! David agrees to go with Warrick back to HQ, and the Neo Freedom Fighter prisoners, along with Max, are loaded into the helicopters too. Not far away, Frost is making his escape, but he is ambushed by GUN soldiers and gets hit by a tranquilizer dart. Unable to resist it's effects, he collapses and is taken prisoner too.

In the midtown area, Tech and Ianthe are making good progress when they are ambushed by a small roaming gang of Overlander thugs. They try to hide from them, but Ianthe suddenly undergoes a wierd change, seeming to become a completely different person entirely, and it is left to Jet to get them out of the situation. He manages to help them escape, and the duo meet up with Amanda, but Ianthe is still acting strange, insisting that everyone call her 'Fiona'. Amanda explains that Jet has been captured by GUN, and she and Tech decide to go try and rescue him. As they set off, Ianthe returns to normal and explains that she suffers from multiple personallity disorder, which can strike her at any time. On hearing where the duo are going, however, she decides to join them on their quest in return for Tech saving her life from the Overlander thugs earlier. Shortly after setting off, however, they are attacked by Athena, who is followed moments later by Shadow. Ianthe and the fox fight for a while, being very evenly matched in battle tactics, before Shadow parts them and reveals he is looking for the chaos emeralds, having enlisted Athena's help on the grounds of looking for a cure for her condition. On hearing that Tech, Amanda and Ianthe are headed for GUN, he decides to join them too, with a rather sour Athena in tow.

Jet is wheeled into a GUN operating theatre for some tests on his powers and his genetic makeup. As this goes on, Cam'Ron reveals that the tests are also being performed on Frost, with a view to controlling him, making him switch sides and work for GUN instead. The mysterious cheetah that met up with Wraith before, however, overhears the conversation, and he is determined not to let the despicable travesty go ahead...although he knows he much be careful in dealing with the situation. Perhaps arranging to meet with Captain Warrick and explaining the situation to him will help some. In the theatre, Jet suddenly finds himself thrown into combat with a seemingly GUN subservient Frost, and is forced to defend himself. Frost eventually overpowers him, but is called off by the GUN doctors watching before he can be killed. He is then laid out on the operating table, with Frost helping to subdue him, for the tests.

Meanwhile Azieral, taking Sachio and Morgaine to GUN, gets talking to her female prisoner, and finds out that the twins' father is actually Frost himself. Back in the downtown alleyways, Wraith, Tails and Myst come across the Nocturnes gang returning from their fight at the hotel, with Plugg, and another gang member at the back of the pack carrying Lucent, still unconsious. They manage to halt these few ithout alerting the rest of the gang, and Myst moves to examine the bat while Wraith, Tails, and the Nocturnes members have a subdued standoff.

Back at GUN HQ, Ari is put into a cell with the rest of the captured Neo Freedom Fighters, including a still unconsious Max, but there she learns that Wraith isn't actually dead after all...it is only what GUN believes. Elsewhere in the complex, Dr. Amoz is, it turns out, being held captive by GUN so that he can create a robotic army for them, something he keeps refusing to do. David is brought in to see him, an emotional time for both man and machine, however GUN decide to reverse engineer the robot in the hopes of using him to create their army. They begin to examine him, however as they do so they accidentally activate an old dormant millitery program buried in his programming, and he goes berzerk, destroying the lab, before moving on to the rest of the base...

-----

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's all of it! So, final character positions as I make it:

Wraith, Myst, and Tails are in the alleyway with Plugg and an unconsious Lucent. They have only just met up, and Myst is examining Lucent's injuries.

Max, Ari and a large suathe of the Neo Freedom Fighters are holed up in GUN's holding cells.

Frost and Jet are also at GUN, although Frost has been pressed into service by their experiments on him, and is currently holding Jet down while the doctors try and cut the weasel open. Cam'Ron is also watching over the operation.

David is in GUNs robotics labs, going mental. Alarms have just been sounded, and he is breaking free.

Warrick too is at GUN, trying to get some rest after his action, however he has just recived word from the mysterious cheetah soldier to meet him in secret.

Azieral is on her way towards GUN with Scahio's body and Morgaine as her prisoners.

Amanda, Tech, Ianthe, Shadow and Athena are headed towards GUN from the east side river.

Sword and Trey are both still at the beach, facing each other down in the building next to the hotel gang base.

And the unnamed cheetah girl encountered by Trey, Tech and Ianthe is currently missing.

I think that's everyone, let me know who I missed.
