Another idea: we restart the RP, with the following:
It's the 4th war, a long and nasty one, we failed to prevent it, and our CHILDREN (or clones, like Erik) are serving in our places. Actually, Anna + Jayne could probably keep their own characters, who are young enough now that later they could play the older ones. I'd use a character who is another Stone/Shade hybrid (or an Onyx/Shade hybrid, to mix it up), with much less Mary-Sue factor. We could ALL be specially trained Estreens, really. It would be a war setting instead of a City, and we would NEED to keep it on Earth OR in space, and not jump back and forth between them.

Forget that. I'm making a starter post for the new O.MAAS.
Maybe "Operation MAAS: The Next Generation"?
It should happen at least half a decade after the original, probably later.
Gimme' opinions. If it sucks, TELL ME.

If you are reading this...well...it's a very good sign for Earth if you are reading this, because it will mean that we haven't failed, even if we are long gone. Sure, by the time this gets to you, the facts will have been rearranged to fit the politicians' and militaries' stories. Still, I'd like for somebody, at least ONE PERSON, to have the truth of it all. Sure, you know what you saw on the news, what you read in the history books. I know what you've probably been told. Well...most of it, maybe all of it, is a lie.
Hopefully my story and the stories of my friends will be enough to show you what really happened.
If you've read this far, then maybe you have an idea, from their last journals, what William Higgins, Isabel Stone, Daniel Nabet, Ellie Hunter, and Leia Burg were like before they died. Maybe you've even learned some things about Juggernaut. I've saved these papers, kept them in secret, for the day that someone would find them here in this old ruin, the last remains of the New York Public Library, where it all started for them. Where the Last War started.
If you met me on the street and I told you my name, you would probably kill me on the spot, no questions asked. Why?
My name is Miranda Lucas. I am twenty-six years old, and a three-way war is raging between the Human/Hork-Bajir alliance, the Andalites, and the Yeerks. I am...or, by the time you read this, I WAS...the fourth of seven super-clones created from the recombinant DNA of Isabel Stone and Alexander Lucas. I think that the rest are already dead at the time of this writing, but I can't be sure. Erik, Sebastian, and Ariel...they have to be dead, I know it...but the other three might still live. I don't know. It doesn't matter. They can't help me now, anyway. Nobody can. I have just enough time, I think, to write this down and hide it before the next wave of shock troops arrives at the door. I cannot win this time. Not alone.
Oh, yes. I am the daughter of two of the Monsters of your nightmares, two of the beings who inexplicably chose to save their friends from the frozen void and let the world burn.
However, I am also the neice of Emma Frost, the Heroine that gave her life to see Stone destroyed...even if she failed in that task.
By now, you have an idea of Stone's and Frost's motives, whether or not you choose to believe them.
So don't judge me too quickly. There are many sides to every story.
By the time you find this journal of the Last War, my comrades and I will be long dead and famous, either as heroes or abominations, and I don't know which it will be, yet. All I can say is that we did our best, against all odds, and I, for one, can claim no situation in which I would have acted differently. I think that my friends...my family... would say the same, if they were still here to tell their tales. Each of them secretly kept a journal like mine, and I managed to find them all and piece them together, in the order that it all happened. Just like my...father...did for my mother, and for Higgins, and for the entire team. What you read here is not for the faint-of-heart, and it will change the way you read the propaganda in your textbooks. Are you sure that you want to read this? Very well. Let's start nine years ago, when I was only seventeen. Let's start at the beginning of the end.

(next person starts the story)
I was thinking that it could be one of three ways, if we go with this:
1. The other characters are Stone's other clone-kids.
2. They are descendants of the other original characters.
3. They are random people that got dragged into the story.
Of course, it can be any combination of the above.
