The Legend of Blockman

Eons ago there was an ancient species of sapient creatures whose mission was to seed planets with new and various life forms. The life forms grew restless and barbarous and the ancient species decided to leave them to their peril. Little did the life forms know, the ancient creatures watched them and bid their time deep in the oceans or mountains of each planet. These ancient people were controlled by a brood mother who has attached herself into the planets core to draw energy to help in the fueling of the planet. If the mother dies, so does the planet.

The ancient lifeforms are called the Keepers of the Galaxy by the species who live on their planets. It is apparent in ancient ruins that were built to worship them. These lifeforms knew to worship these Keepers because they would periodically rise above the surface and take "inventory" of the races that evolved on the lands surface, sometimes posing as gods, tyrants or as saints. At one point, however, they stopped coming. The temples stopped being built in every solar system in the galaxy and all of them fell silent.

Not one scholar knows the exact reason as to why, but some sources have pointed towards the notion of there existing a large brood mother called the Breed Keeper and she is responsible for maintaining the energy of the center of the galaxy. She is also responsible for emitting dark energy that could be found on scans of the galaxy. This dark energy seems to have no apparent use. Nobody has ever seen the Breed Mother and nobody knows how she can communicate such large distances. Perhaps the dark energy has something to do with that. But whatever the case may be this dark energy has been fluctuating, and the very balance of space-time seems to be disturbed.

This is where you step in as a time traveler. Time travel is largely impossible, even with enough power to offset time and place and to "teleport". The only way large distances could be traveled is because the Breed Mother has made it possible by disrupting time (via the dark energy fluctuations). She takes notice of you by detecting your time jumps. At one point in the game you become entangled in her grasp and stuff happens.

I don't want to give out the details, but the game will have you travelling to the near and far learning about the best and worst qualities of each civilization. You kind of act as a courier for the Breed Mother whether you know it or not and your actions will have severe importance on what happens to the galaxy, especially the places you have visited during your travels. You'll uncover secrets about the Keepers: Are they for good or for evil? Why is the dark energy fluctuating? Who made them / why did they make us?

Love.
Loss.
Morality.
Betrayal.
Tragedy.
Vengeance.
Despair.
Triumph.

These are qualities you will observe and witness that will shape your decisions and the fate of the galaxy. Are you cold enough to ignore love and embrace tragedy? Bold enough to betray your friend, and worship disparity? The game is an action based game but the choices and dialog will be anything but.

I'll try to get a concept piece of the the Breed Mother up sometime.
