Basic Plot/Starting Point

Basic Plot
Ziggy, a resident on Mars, has a vision of what the future could be like. His future is filled with glam, music, magic and a utpoian existence. So he brings together what will become his band - The Spiders - to spread his message! But not all the Martians agree with Ziggy's vision, find him threatening and want him stopped.
But perhaps all is not lost, for Ziggy sets his sights on Earth...

Starting Point
We will start with the band forming and go from there. Eventually, they will need to travel to Earth.

Quote:

Character Name: Ziggy

Optional Notes: When he was a young Martian, he was snatched up by the Police for painting up his face and other rebellious acts. They took him to a facility that preformed corrective mental treatments on him. But because of his intellegence, he was immune to these treatments. Rumor has it that the failed mental treatments are what gave him his pyschic powers.

Mick yawned, and stretched as he rolled out of bed.
'Same ol' junk, different day.' he thought to himself, looking out the round window of residence. 'Mars is such a boring little dust ball in the sky and I'm sick of it. But what could?'
He slipped into his standard-issued Martian uniform. 'Lord, this thing is ugly.' he thought.
It was a very plain, gray jumpsuit, with a long silver zipper from the groin to the neck. Every Martian needed to wear one. It was the law. There we so many laws on Mars, it was hard to keep track of them sometimes...
He looked at himself in the mirror, and winced... 'So ugly. It has potential if it had some color, maybe...'
He looked over to his pride and joy. His guitar. It was currently zipped up in a fabric bag, in the corner of the room, with some of his other belongings piled on top of it - but he knew it was there... If the MPD (Martian Police Department) ever found that he was in possession of it, he would be jailed immediately for corrective mental treatments and his guitar would be incinerated! He certainly didn't want that! Sometimes, at after a hard day of work, at the close of another meaningless day of life on Mars, the sweet hum of his beautiful was the only thing that kept him alive.
"Off to the Mines," he said to himself, letting out a giant sigh of resignation. He, like most residents of Mars were assigned painfully boring jobs filled with long days of hard labor. But before he even finished his thought, there was a frantic knocking at his front door.

"Mick, you in there??" It was Ziggy, his long time friend and confidant. Mick could be himself around Ziggy, which he appreciated, though he never really put it into words.
Mick wondered what had Ziggy in such an uproar. He rushed to the door and opened it up for his friend. He swooped his arm in a downwards motion, which was the Martian's way of saying "Please come in."

Ziggy came in, sat down and looked like he was about to burst, but he said nothing. He just looked at Mick with a stupid grin on his face.
"Well, what is it mate?" Mick said, getting agitated at his friend for not telling him why he burst in here like this....

"It happened again, Mick." He said, proud of his abilities. "I had a vision. This one was very, very clear."

Mick stared at him blankly, quite annoyed...This is what he came all the way over here for? Ziggy had 'dreams' and 'visions' like this all the time.

"Com' on Ziggy, I'm gonna be late for-" He couldn't even finish his thought when Ziggy leapt out of the chair he was sitting in and grabbed his friend by the arm.

"Screw the mines, Mick! This is important!" Ziggy's face got very serious, "I had a dream that the world was coming to an end. And it was very real."

Mick slumped down to the nearest chair. Something in the tone of his friend's voice really hit him. If the world was coming to an end, what was the point of getting up everyday and going to work? He hasn't gotten to do what he wanted to with his life and that fact terrified him. So what if it was just over tomorrow? What would his life have been for?

Ziggy saw the worry on his friend's face and continued to tell him what he saw, "We have five years, Mick..."

"Five years?" He said, confused. Maybe he had some time then. Time to do the things he wanted with his life. But how? The strict rules of Mars wouldn't allow him to be free from his job at the Mines or express himself in his music.
"So let's leave Mars then. Start a new life on Earth. Ta hell with this dusty planet. Come on, me an' you" He begged Ziggy.

"It's not just Mars, it's the entire universe." Ziggy replied solemnly.

"So what are we supposed to do man, just wait?" he asked his friend, hope leaving his voice.

"No man, we can save it. We gotta start a revolution." Ziggy told his friend, fully confident that his plan would work. He waited to see what Mick's reaction to this news would be... would he stand behind Ziggy and support him or would he think Ziggy was crazy - as people often thought.

He sighed and let it sink in for a moment.
"Do you really think that would work, Ziggy? What about the MPD? They'll arrest us and send us for corrections if we act out." He told his friend solemnly.

He gulped. He was definitely going to be late for work.

"Screw the MPD, man! This is way bigger than that! If we don't do something the whole universe is done for!" his said with his arms flailing, as to show that he would be desperate without his friend's help. He grew quiet, sinking back into his chair, exhausted and depressed. His face sank into a frown, and he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Well, I don't care if they do lock me up, or correct me... or hell even kill me! At least I know I tried..." Ziggy said, sounding quite defeated. It seemed that his friend thought he was crazy, like everyone else thought. He was truly alone. He threw his hands up in the air, sighed and got up to make his way towards the door.

"Sorry, you're gonna be late cause of me..." he said very quietly.

"No, Ziggy wait!" Mick called him back. He did believe his words, he was just unsure of if they could pull it off, "I'll help ya, you know I will."

He walked over to Ziggy and put a hand on his shoulder, asking him: "Where do we start?"

"Really? You'll help me?" Ziggy asked in disbelief. A huge smile broke out on his face. This would be a legend in the making. He always new he was born to do great things.

He walked back over to the chair and plopped himself down, getting comfortable.
"To save the world, we gotta liberate it," He said, his hands crossed over his chest to show his was being serious, "There are too many rules, too much order bogging everything down. We gotta shake things up, wake these people out of their stupor."

"And how do you plan to do that, Zig?" Mick asked with a sigh. He sat down on a chair next to his friend and allowed him to continue.

"We're gonna start a band! Our message will be our music.... We're gonna lead by example!" Ziggy exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air.
