FFAE - Forces Fighting Against Evil
[[File:FFAE symbol.png|alt=FFAE symbol|none|thumb|''FFAE symbol made by Everett Knight, 2020. During his NSA days, this was also his Profile Picture. The Dragon is often called the FFAE Dragon and symbolizes strength. The Shield is to represent defense of goodness, and the spear is to keep evil at bay and far away.'']]
The FFAE is a roleplay group (sorta like the [[NaAT]] but way less organized and open to basically anyone who wants to join). The FFAE quest has gone on for quite sometime in the NSA Newbies Games channel. The adventure thread that started the base storyline was made in 5/8/2020 under the name "Quest for Edward McQuackers", and FFAE officially took over in 6/7/2020 almost a month later. FFAE took NSA into its Silver Age.

The FFAE thread's official anniversary is May 8th. FORCES UNITE!!!

== END OF OG FFAE ==
This is the confirmed end of the original FFAE.  Several other story lines using the name FFAE happen, but they are additional canon.  Everything here is FFAE canon.  We did in fact leave the story lines uncompleted, as soon as Faith left, people started feeling the heat from school.  I would recommend not trying to resurrect it again, as the other progress updates show.  Thanks for reading through everything, and I hope it sparks imagination.  Sorry, there is not more, we all wanted more messages, more story, more plot lines.  Everything.  But read this piece of History and be inspired. 

Stats: 

Final message count around 250,000 messages around everything official canon in FFAE chat 

Sister chats: BRoBC, ApoL, Paranormal Investigators 

From 5/2020-7/2021 

RIP 

For the last time I must say: 

Long Live the Forces Fighting Against Evil...long live the FFAE

== An overview of the early FFAE story arc ==
''by Gabe Nelson''

After the first thread, things mostly went the way of NSA lore, staying on earth and using rp to find [[McQuackers|Quackers]]. We finally defeated [[Sir Quackers Quackules]] and got McQuackers back. Along the way, a few things happened, such as [[Ruthie Hopkins]] being dangled over sharks, and the meeting with chipmunk, personified from the [[Bunny Chipmunk War|Bunny-Chipmunk war]]. Four key things happened in this new thread phase.

# Gabe (me) had the Historian spirit transferred into him.
# Annalisa Grings turned out to be Agent NN, an agent for the FBI, and Maddie Jewett was Agent Jewett for the CIA
# Sir Quackers became more and more used to his human form, and slowly transitioned to using it only.
# Many people joined the role play. While Fianna dropped out near the end of the beginning, we added people like Faith, Shawn, [[Ruthie Overholt]], and Sir Knight.

The accelerate period was a time when tons of people joined, and many story lines were going on at once. The big one that transitioned from the new rp to the acceleration period was the [[WASP]] story line, which played a huge part in everything. Quackers basically nuked the earth with firebombs, turning it into a planetary desert. Shortly before this, we picked up Ash (Faith's Character) and were then led into a space age by Shawn's Character Kazu. We also started traversing dimensions, and what we called realms. The system went: planets, systems (solar systems), galaxies, clusters (of galaxies), dimensions, and realms. Those last two require explaining. With dimensions, you get into multiverse theory, of which the FFAE had its own version. The main idea was that plants and systems are often shifted around, and people are different (Agent NNN and Agent NN being examples.) However, there were almost always new people, and not copies (partially for continuity's sake.) This meant that not all people had copies of themselves. This in turn meant that there were a set number of dimensions, and they weren't infinite. This gets to realms. A realm was a multiverse of multiverses. They were completely different from each other, the planets in them were all different, as were the people (if aliens can be called people). Earth's home realm wasn't the only realm where humanoids came from, but every other species of alien was different. We also had a set number of realms, I think 64 or something. The rest of our history you can read in the FFAE wiki.<ref>https://northstaracademyint-my.sharepoint.com/:o:/g/personal/slogan_northstar-academy_org/ElwU7N7eEr5Jo0MMSqGERiABvau4AVMC9bFJ1kyva1t37g?e=8OwCiw</ref>

== For the intrepid adventurer: ==
This is Gabe Nelson speaking. While FFAE ended a long time ago, it still holds a dear place in my heart. For those NSA adventurers hoping to learn more about ideas they could use for role plays and other things, I would recommend looking at the [https://northstaracademyint-my.sharepoint.com/:o:/g/personal/slogan_northstar-academy_org/ElwU7N7eEr5Jo0MMSqGERiABvau4AVMC9bFJ1kyva1t37g?e=8OwCiw FFAE wiki]. The wiki is technically the last thing alive from FFAE. The Progress Updates won't give you a whole story, in fact they come in a bit later, near the end of the adventure thread. I hope that you enjoy reading through FFAE as much as I did helping the others make it.

Long Live NSA culture, Long Live NSA, and Long Live those who Fight Against Evil, real or not.
