PRAYERRUN
I don't know exactly where to post this, but since I based this on the Indiana Jones character, I'll post this here. If it gets moved or deleted, it won't hurt me all that much but I'm just wanting to know what others might think about this idea.
What if there was an Indiana Jones-like character that lived on another planet? The civilization on this planet looked at their future like Indiana looks at the past...as a lost mystery. Their past is litterally forgotten to prevent wars from happening. That means if I dissed somebodies momma one day, the next day, the event is forgotten on purpose by all who were involved, thus preventing issues to build up to something it shouldn't. This is just the way of their civilization...no fear involved...no corruption can build up. Because of this, the future is looked like a sort of history, except it's always a mystery to be solved by researchers all over the world. In fact...this entire civilization is made up of researchers of this sort. The only problem with their way of life, is that they aren't allowed, by thier rules of civilization, to actually REMEMBER anything that they might discover, thus keeping the mystery of the future from being unsolved. One man,(we'll call him Indiana Jones) see's no sense in this way of life, and decides that he wants to remember what he discovers. He's able to go along in this way...discovering new things, until a small group of people break the rules themselves after discovering his secret, and make it their commitment to make Indiana go back to the traditional ways of forgetting the past for a better future.
He isn't willing to go back to the old ways, having found more excitement in his new ways. The group decides that they will keep bending the rules of society until Indiana forfits his little crusade, and goes back to the old ways of doing things. Indiana refuses and is then forced out of their society, having been deemed " unworthy " of being apart of them. They decide to keep bending the rules after realizing that Indiana must not be let back in their society, and keep their past memories in order to make sure that Indiana never returns. Distressed, Indiana keeps studying the future, wanting to keep his mind off of his isolation. He begins to discover newer and greater things in his studies. He suddenly wishes that he could share his discoveries with somebody else...but alas, he cannot. He is too be alone for the rest of his life for breaking the rules. Then, one day, he discovers something in the future that completely horrifies him...something that might mean the end of his world. Realizing that he has to warn somebody of this event, he makes the decision to return to the civilization that abandoned him and try to convince them that in fact, their ways MUST be changed for them to survive the terrible event that is comming.
Please tell me what you think.
