The ideas for RS as a sequel have become so extensive that a possible gaming title is no longer a priority at all. It's fun enough to think about the future for this piece of science fiction. -- Doomsday scenarios including human-killing AIs tend to annoy me. I want to tell a story in which AIs, despite some risks, should be seen as something positive overall.

==About==
Restless Souls is an other Fan-Fiction in the Oniverse. <font color="#777">(work in progress)</font>.


Looking at the timeline the story can be seen as direct sequel...

==Time Setting==
A prequel with focus on the kids development.
... but ''RS'' is set into the year 2055. Didn't Oni take place in 2032?


Well, (in my opinion) neither Oni's original nor RS's timeline is that much fitting into 2032.
Mai and Muro are physical and psychological shaped to fulfill their destiny forced on them. But how exactly did what happen.

An expansion of the original. Highlights events of other characters and fills the gaps in Konoko's diary.
# There have been debates as to whether 2032 is the actual year of the game's setting as the manual has never clearly stated this to be so. It is only given that the World Coalition Government was formed in January 12th 2032, and as the game progresses, the possibility of the in-game storyline actually being set in 2032 gets lesser.

# According to Konoko's in-game diary, November 22 was a Monday. This is true for the years 2032, 2038, 2049, et cetera.

# Officially confirmed to be set in 2032 by Bungie.net's Oni FAQ, although this is still debated due to how tightly the events of Oni would have been packed together, and that the FAQ went up during the Bungie/Microsoft take over.
