Daniel Hopkins is the creator of the online forum game [[Trinton Chronicles]] but also the author of several poems, short stories, and even a once sort of well known shot stories named [[The 10 Pack]].

==Biography==

Daniel Hopkins was born in Ohio in May of 1982. He grew up as an only child
mostly in the small town of Russellville, Ohio. Later between the ages of 5 and 6 his family moved out to the country near the town of Winchester, Ohio. After starting school he found his personal talent for extreme creativity and a huge imagination. Once he reached the age of 12, when he was in 4th Grade of Elementary School, Dan began to create elbaroate short stories that ended up being writen mostly in typical childish fashion of small bookets with crayon or colored pencil art.

Dan was forced to repeat 4th Grade when he was moved to a Catholic School by his mother to seclude him from the outside world and hopefully turn him towards christanity, however the influence the school had on him was opposite of what was expected. By the time he reached 6th grade he had reached the height of his early creativity, tho he couldn't draw very well he turned directly to writing again and begun work on putting his mental world to paper during the late summer of 1995 Dan rewrote his work and offically got his first poem published through Young American Writers program that his school had advocated. His first poem was published under his pen name 'Derick Wren' and he would continue to use this pen name for several years after.

He was later forced to go back to public school in 1996 due to controversy that occured in the catholic school, during this transition Dan was put under tremendous stress which unfortunetly ensured his reclusive nature for
the following years. It wasn't until the start of his freshman high school year in 1997 that he began to get real reconzation for his works, his english teacher one Mrs. Wood, led him to start publshing his works in the
high school news paper under his pen name biweekly. He once again turned to his orginal concept, the 10 Pack, and with a little rewriting and some complicated reworkings of his story he began pushing out a chapter a week, thusly
the school newspaper (which was actually a virtual paper and not a phsyical one since it saved paper) began to fill up with the story fairly quickly. In Febuary of 1999 Dan became invovled with a forum based role playing game
featuring [[Sailor Moon]]. Dan was highly motivated to write twice the amount of his book which came to a psudo-conclusion in April of the same year.

During the summer Dan began to brain storm on how to reinvent the story and the characters but got caught up in some drama during the start of the season and was unable to work on his story till mid-July when, while mowing the grass, he came up with the idea of starting his own message board based RPG. He dubbed it [[Trinton Chronciles]] after the name of the city his characters
existed in. Since the city was fictional it allowed him far more freedom to do whatever he wanted with it versus researching a real world place, tho the city had basis in fact since it existed in [[Virgina]] where the [[Chessapeak Bay]] area would have been in this world.

While working on Trinton Chronicles, dubbed TC by its players and fans, Dan finished his story of the orginal book and left it hanging hoping that TC would take over where the first one left off. Which at first it did with the completion of the first book of TC, New Genisis in early 2000. By 2002 he had met his first love, a boy named Robbie Butts, who was about the same age as himself. Since they were both similar in interests and likes and dislikes they became friends but eventually Dan found himself in a one-sided love with someone

However Dan would endure much emotional grief when his mixed feelings over took his judgement and he suffered what most people know as heart break.
From the years 2003 to 2004 he fell into a deep depresive state about life in general and became reclusive, speaking only to his friend and Vice President of TC, Aliqua, she made him realize how great life was and got him back in the spirit of things once agian. During these same times Dan frequented many bars in the city of [[Cincinnati]], Oh, where he eventually got a job
at a leather store as a manager. He worked there and met many unique people which only further fueled his creative mind.

After his many-many life trials Dan finally grew up enough to settle down...during mid-September 2006 Dan made a new online contact named Jesse T.
on a web site known as Bear411. For part of the month they conversed until one day Dan mad a trip to [[Columbus]], Oh, and it was a mixture of
love and affection at first sight. Jesse and he began dating off and on through December where, when Dan was fired from a retail chain known as
[[Dillards]] depatment store, Jesse came to his aid by allowing Dan to move in with him.

The two became offical boyfriends in January 2006 but things were not easy with them. It took several months of fighting and arguing with each other
for things to settle down. During the start of spring of 2007 new members were introduced to Dan's TC game. Shortly into the summer Jesse
and Dan brought a new member of their reltionship into the fold, one Myhajlo Wynters. This developed into a traid reltionship that although
having many rocky faults including Dan being kicked out of Jesse's house in October for two weeks, a huge physical fight between Myhajlo and Dan, and
various finacial concerns is still growing stronger by the day.

Trinton Chronicles

2008-04-30T15:18:19Z

64.233.178.136: /* Character Guide - Original Trilogy */

{{cleanup}}
[[Image:All-Titles.jpg|thumb|right|Trinton Chronicles Titles]]
'''Trinton Chronicles''' is a collection of stories written between 1999 and 2007 by a group of gamers ([[role playing|Role Playing Games]]) who write under the pen name of “Furry INC.” All of its characters are [[anthropomorphic]] completely lacking any existence of [[human being]]s placing the main focus of the story, the city of Trinton, in a completely separate world full of magic, spirits, and high technology.

Trinton Chronicles started out as an online role playing game on EZboards in July, 1999. The game was a free-form RPG with a small set of rules (to maintain game-play) that would change forums three times before its first major hiatus that also ended up continuing an earlier creation of the game owner (Dan Hopkins) called '''''[[The 10 Pack]]'''''.

The original author and recognized creator of the basic plot of the original series is [[Dan Hopkins]] of Ohio. As the game progressed several others joined each adding additional characters and plot lines to the story. The co-authors of the story are: Aliqua Jones, Jay Potter, Robin Hetzel, Claudia Kratochwill, Hannah Grey, Micheal Florian, Jason Anderson, Steven P., Debbie Gurbacki, and Nicole Gilbert. Several people would drop in and out of play throughout the series which would lead so heavy editing of the stories, sometimes altering scenes to remove dropped characters.

Because it was at its heart, a game, the style of play often caused confusion and great conflict within the stories. Critics note that the frequent scene changing can be a bit confusing but otherwise is praised. Not only that, but many people were unsure about playing anthropomorphic characters due to the controversy surrounding the furry genera created at conventions and on TV Shows like [[CSI]] and [[MTV]]'s Real World. However those who did participate became fans of the genera and created a rich and deep set of characters who are mature, and have deep story-lines behind them ignoring anything bluntly sexual or immature.

Trinton Chronicles produced 3 books (New Genesis, White Death, and Xanith's Reign)and two off shoots (Forgotten World of Eternity and Sealed Fate) which were later published at http://angelfire.com/ct/furryrpghome/TC.html for public view. Eventually in late 2005 to early 2006 the game had slowly wound down and appeared to die for a temporary amount of time. But recently (Feb 2007) previous members of the game elected to play again and start a new chapter for Trinton, the possible opening of a new homepage and a brand new forum to play on with a rewritten set of rules by the owner in order to allow deeper story telling. Several members have joined the game over the course of 2007 and began churning out a new story line and possibly a new book; the current new web page can be found here - http://tc.rangernet.net.

During the long lived life of the game various side-projects were developed to branch the game out into other venues, not all successfully however. These included a Magic the Gathering Fan-Card deck, an RPG Maker 2000/2003 game, an online crossword puzzle set, a virtual jig-saw puzzle game using pictures provided by various artists from both [[VCL]], [[Deviant Art]], and [[Yerf]], and a [[D20]] Conversion of the game in both ''D20 Modern [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D20_Modern]'' and ''Mutants & Masterminds[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutants_and_Masterminds]'' game systems.

'''Current Side Project''' - As of '''4/25/08''' a new TC based project has been started, converting all Mutants & Masterminds based characters and general system to a new super-hero system which is being written by a close friend of the creator of TC. This is an ''In The Works'' project which will be published exclusively on the TC main web site when its half way completed for game testing purposes.

==Trinton Supernatural System Reference Guide==

As a game it has a variety of unique character types and a vast array of options to play it. The Trinton Supernatural System that exists was used both on the forums and later adapted to a [[D20 Role Playing]] style as well. This system is the basic [[magic]], [[psionic]], and [[supernatural]] set up system for [[Trinton Chronicles]] Online Forum RPG and was originally developed in the short stories [[The 10 Pack]]. The idea behind the system is a conglomeration of various Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror generics that influenced the original creator and was later re-adapted by various players of the game and even a few fans who wrote their own stories using the system. Although it is a copywritten material, permission was granted by the owner to post it here as an Open Source Development tool for
others. Although it isn't really a system in terms of mechanics it is more here as reference material on types of powers, elements and character classes that make up the wonderful world of Tan'arn.

'''The Concept And Explanation'''

The '''''TSS''''' is based on the concept that all living beings have three things that can be control in their own existence. They are mind, body, and soul; the psychic, supernatural, magical abilities fit into that order respectively.

'''Mind''' - the power of mind over matter and existence is often used in stories and comics under the basic concept that the mind is a powerful tool either trained in or manifested by creatures under stress. It effects everything not just the minds of others but it is an ability which stems from the mind and can thusly be effected by mental states of the user. Examples include kinetics that stem from the mind, mind affliction, domination/control, and perception alteration.

'''Body''' - the power of physical strength can be taken to new extremes sometimes and is often used to represent powers or abilities which extend from mutations or adaption in the way a being lives.
This power or ability can stem from the body and is affected by the body's condition be it sick, poisoned, or in perfect health. Examples include super speed, super strength, invulnerability,
unique energy or kinetics that stem from physical or biological means.

'''Soul''' - the power of spiritual awareness and intangible things that can not be explained in science, this power covers magic of all types or abilities which do not come from the mind or body.
From [[wizards]] to [[demons]] most magical powers are extensions of the soul and thus anything that touches or effects the soul can effect these powers but even things that effect the mind and body
can cause the soul to waiver and lose control of its own abilities. Examples include magic spells, soul affecting powers, powers that effect reality, and abilities that have no logical explanation.

''Basic Elements''

(This is mostly based around the Trinton D20 system and Forum game but is to be taken along with normal Trinton lore)

There are many different elements in Trinton, starting with the classic earth, wind, water, and fire elemental types there are also several more types that are fundamental basics of reality. Regardless of how they are accessed (see above) they represent reality in Trinton and the universe it resides in.

''Wind'' (represents air, the wind, gases, and things that deal with flying, knowledge, and beauty)

''Earth'' (represents earthy substances, rocks, minerals, and the like and all things that deal with digging, acceptance, and discovery)

''Water'' (represents the oceans, water, ice and all things dealing with swimming, mystic, and fairness)

''Fire'' (represents the volcanoes, magma, deserts, and all things that deal with anger, rage, and courage)

''Time'' (represents the passage of time, the future, the past, pre/post cognition, and all things that deal with ruins, history, and enlightenment)

''Space'' (represents the very spaces between things, other dimensions, teleportation, and things that deal with travel, guidance, and reality)

''Tempest/Chaos'' (represents chaos, weather, randomness, and all things that deal with the chaos of reality, newness, and change)

''Energy/Order'' (represents order, raw energy, law, and all things dealing with judgment, order of the universe, and static existences)

''Light'' (represents all things good and pure, also represents creation)

''Dark'' (represents all things bad and corrupt, also represents destruction)

''Nature/Wood'' (represents the natural world, appreciation for such things, and all plants/animals)*

''Science/Steel'' (represents the artificial world, appreciation for such things, and all machines/computers)*

''Classes/Professions for the everyday mortal with abilities/powers''

A minor list of [[RPG classes]] based around the concept of mind, body, and soul based powers. This is more reference material for the masses, but it was used extensively in both the D20 & Forum RPG as building blocks.

*Still Under construction*

==Mind==

'''''Psion''''' A person who hones their mind to be a formidable weapon they can do almost anything from controlling minor thoughts to implanting suggestions and bending reality. They are limited however by being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none in this sense.

'''''Telepath''''' A person who is a mind reader by trade, they hone their skill to probe the mental world and explore the dark reaches of the mind and dream scapes of others.

'''''Dominator''''' A controller, they enforce their will upon others and can control their thoughts and ideas at whim.

'''''Biopath/Metakienetic''''' A psion who developed their powers for healing and helping others, they can rebuild parts, mend wounds, and create life with a thought.

'''''Angel Scout''''' A warrior who uses their mind skills to sneak around and gather information.

'''''Beast Manipulator''''' A controller who turned their powers from people to monsters, beasts, and animals. They can control almost any creature with pure suggestions.

'''''Technopath''''' A builder by trade, they use their mind to freely rearrange material or data in computers and can even control fine-tuned programs with only a little effort mentally.

==Body==

'''''Paragon''''' A body builder or athlete who pumped themselves with hard work and discipline, they are good at many forms of fighting and combat but are not masters of any single one of them and that tends to be a flaw.

'''''Speedster''''' A person who gained super speed through either genetics or augmentation to their own bodies and whom can accelerate beyond normal speeds for most, they excel at speedy hit & run combat but lack training at more skilled affairs.

'''''Ninja''''' Agile, nimble, and quick these people can dodge bullets, manipulate others through pressure points or energy control, and can do feats of vanishing or movement that is sometimes difficult to see.

'''''Thief''''' Although agile as a ninja, a thief is better at picking locks and stealing money then anything else.

'''''Beast Master''''' Through hand and body movements beasts, monsters, and animals can be commanded by these people whom learn how to mimic the creatures perfectly for communication to them.

'''''Mechanic/Tinker''''' A skilled engineer who can build, dismantle, and re-arrange any device they so chose, they are good with their hands and better with their eyes.

==Soul==

'''''Arcanist''''' A magic user who studies all forms of magic to learn from everything but could never truely master any single school effectively.

'''''Wizard''''' Old school magic users who study the normal manipulation of earth, fire, air, and water through the use of arcane words and gestures.

'''''Sorcerer''''' A natural born magic user who can create spells from their mind and do not need such spells to perform acts of greatness. With mere gesture and will they can do many forms of manipulation of the world around them including duplicating any writen spell or ritual.

'''''Witch''''' A natural born magic user who studies the crafts of healing, cursing, and minor elemental control. They can perform spells from their mind as well as from any book but they believe working with the energies instead of controlling them gets them what they want or need.

'''''Symbolist''''' A mathematician or scholar who uses magic runes, symbols, and pictures to create their form of magic, they can draw it in the air or on the ground but the power is in their focus rather then their drawings.

'''''Summoner''''' A natural born magic user who can summon creatures, spirits, and other beings from out of the universe to appear before them and help or harm others. They must make packs to continue using the same avatar or summoned creature and some summoners actually create their summons from the ether.

'''''Warlock''''' A magic user whom believes the darker path is a better way to power; they break the rules of other magic users by the belief they dominate, not merely manipulate, the world around them. Most often warlocks make packs with demons, angels, and gods to earn more power and gain access to abilities, magics, and artifacts that can further grant them their goals.

'''''Magus''''' A magic user who shuns all other thoughts about magic and takes upon the idea that they alone must preserve the secrets of the past, a Magus often studies and gains powers that no normal magic user or psychic would dare utilize.

=Cover Synopsis & Plot Details=

These are the original proposed book-cover Synopses and story lines for the books:

But just when she is about to get her way, a random wish usurps her as main villain and puts Lady Una on top in order to destroy all who oppose her vision of utopia!

==Trinton Mythos==

Every story has a [[mythos]], or things that make up a common law of the way things work in the fantasy world like [[Star Wars]] and [[Transformers]] which both have recognizable or well remembered places, people, and things.

'''''Places'''''

'''Onyx Obelisk''' - A black obelisk in the upper-north east side of the city, it is made of something similar to onyx but more metallic in nature. The mysterious building houses both an extremely large complex inside versus it's smaller appearing outside, which may have once been a temple, and a ton of secrets. The building is in a pit and stands 90 feet from bottom of the pit to the tip of it's structure and is 45 feet on all four sides; A park was built around the obelisk and many people visit it daily. ''The Obelisk has been in nearly every story and has played a major role on more then one occasion.''

'''Great Cathedral''' - A large universal church built on the end of Grail Street, it has over 200 stained glass windows all depicting various gods, goddess, and religious symbols. It stands almost as large as Notre Dame but on a much less grand scale. ''This Gothic style church appeared only twice, once in New Genesis and again in White Death.''

'''Freedom Park''' - A huge natural reserve which also features a huge inland lake which is half the size of the park. It has camp grounds, private land for cabins, and hunting & fishing store near the camp ground. ''This park has seldom been seen but mentioned often, its appeared in nearly all stories.''

'''Grail Street''' - The third longest street in Trinton, it has been the scene of at least two major battles. The street is lined from head to with apartments, condos, and high rise housing.''Although mentioned often, it doesn't play an specific role in any of the stories.''

'''Mystical Diner''' - A magically enhanced diner that is covered in enchantments including ones that predict orders before the customer makes them, levitating on demand food running, and self-cleaning tables and dishes. The diner's magic was infused in it back in the early days of the city and has yet to need renewal. ''The diner plays two roles, in the old story it is where Micheal and Dawn first have dinner together. In the new story the place is where Jay and Sabella have their first breakfast together.''

== '''''Items/Artifacts''''' ==

'''Heaven's Key''' - A magical key with the ability to open any lock, Lady Dawn cherished and hid this item.

'''Fallen Angel Ocarina''' - a strange wind instrument with unknown powers, it appears to actually be Xanith's wings and power in disguise however.

'''Hell's Fury Guitar''' - a powerful and dark instrument which can open up dimensional gates and create balls of flame and seal off different places. It is actually one Xanith's wings in disguise.

'''Black Onyx Wolf-head necklace''' - a mystical seal which prevented Solan's powers from being unleashed. Towards the end of the original series the necklace is cracked and turns a little bit whiter by each day thus unsealing Solan's powers day by day.

==Inspiration==

The stories presented in the Trinton Chronicles series are all originals but the plot lines, characters, and plot devices were all heavily influenced off of the varied interests of the authors. These interests include [[anime]], [[manga]], TV shows, classic movies, and novels. Some examples are;

*Barbi & Darci (First appearance, New Genesis. First major role in plot, White Death.) were modeled after Team Rocket (Japanese version Pocket Monsters) but are named after Mattel’s Barbie and Darcy dolls because they are blond, over sexed and unintelligent.

*The Tengu Bandits (New Genesis) were named Genrou, Kurawasi, and Toriyama. Toriyama after Akira Toriyama, known for Dragon Ball Z, Kurosawa after Akira Kurosawa, the famous Japanese director, and Genrou after Fushigi Yuugi's Suzaku Taski who's real name is Genrou and uses a pair of haisen, or metal fans.

*Near the middle of New Genesis is the one involving the Solan clones in Tutus dancing the French Mistake. The French Mistake is a dance seen near the end of Blazing Saddles

*The inspiration for Xanith's Reign came in part from Xena: Warrior Princess and in part from Charmed for figures of immense power who hide their powers in various objects to reclaim later on.

*White Death was influenced heavily by [[Resident Evil]].

*Nathaniel Black is named after [[Nathaniel Hawthorn]], the author of the Scarlet Letter.

*The magical winter in White Death is influenced by the Winter in “[[The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe]],” the lead of that arc's favorite childhood book.

*Mirror Rorrim (whose name is just the same word said twice in two different ways) is actually a reference to 3 different Anime, [[Sailor Moon Supers]], [[Fushigi Yuugi]], and [[Inu Yasha]].

*Frost's real name is Robert Frostovic, Robin's reference to a well known poet.

*Trisha, the angel of war, was named after a dear friend of Triton Chronicle's creator who was not only a manager but reminded him of what an angel of war would be like.
