Years A.E.

Setting

There was, not long ago, a world where the races prospered and lived easy. They complacently used ‘Magic’, assuming it was natural to tap into such powers. Life was at its peak for the people of the land. They began exploration of the seas, finding many smaller islands near, and one larger piece a might distant. This remote place was shaped like a shark’s deadly incisor, and full of riches. Wealthy in lumber, ores, game, and fresh water, this was the ideal frontier for those of curiosity unabated- this was Dagger-Tooth!

Yet, before any ship made landfall, there was a great catastrophic explosion come out of the East, from the homeland. A grand, blinding light started the spectacle. It showed bright white, and then faded black. The darkness of the incident seemed to soak into the sky and stain it with its vile retribution. Then such a wind struck that many ships were blown and dashed against cliffs, or capsized entirely!

There were those that survived, however. These were the ships of capable crew, who either maneuvered to safety or pulled their sails down in time enough. But… even they were faced with further strike from this terrible occurrence! Seeming fashioned from the ominous heavens above, ebon-swathed ethereal beings assailed them. These manifestations of the scorched air overcame the struggling pioneers. Everyone present breathed in putrid, rotten evil. Some died instantly. Others lasted longer. Still, most lived on, and did so not realizing the full extent of what happened that fateful day.

Scouts sent back to the motherland returned empty-handed. They sought native soil, but instead found nothing. Where it should have been were now only rocky chunks of ground dotting the seascape. It was understood that the blast they had witnessed that first day was, in fact, the destruction of their home continent. How this came to happen, none could surely answer knowingly. There were, of course, theories. Those that denied the magical powers- and there were some, just few- they blamed it on those who examined too far into ‘Magic.’ Some believed it had to be an attack made upon them. The superstitious felt it was the Gods chastising them for wandering onto other lands.

Confused, worried, and in dire need of shelter, they all hit the beaches. The Tireen sought solace amongst the trees, making home within the nearest forest. While the Kunai, a beastly people built of pure muscle, traveled straight for the large mountain range on the eastern side of the landmass. Those of the Human race- the people who first discovered Magic and exploited its greatness- stayed near the shores. A few of the other races stayed in the first civilization, aptly named New Day.

Within a period of thirty-one years, five Human-based towns were established. The Kunai successfully inhabited the mountain range, which they called Agru Kild-ka, or commonly referred to as Gashclimb. The city wedged in the rock of this mountain was known as Leili. Tireen-folk secured a very hidden and forbidden city within the southern forests, which they call Lastingwood. They also helped Humankind build the town of Chonü. Just outside the forest is the Human city Tre’yuu. It serves as a meeting place for the two races, and as the continent’s center of trade. Other Humans, those more gifted in the hunting skills, took their lives to the eastern shore and founded Glindayle. Lastly, the largest society: Orchid. It is for the majority Human, but anyone gifted in spell craft is welcome. They thrive on Magic, as their previous nation had.

Races

Human– Humankind was the architect of advancement- socially, magically, and technologically. They first grasped Magic. Humans of Dagger-Tooth are generally six feet tall, and average 170 pounds in weight. Since most Humans live without the ease of Magic, they tend to become quite muscular. However, Humans also make up the majority of mages on the continent. Those who use Magic are of slighter build, but where they lack in might they can usually make up for in spells.

Those of the southern towns do not steep themselves so much magic. While Glindayle strictly forbids it, New Day is slightly more tolerant. Tireen-influenced towns like Tre’yuu and Chonü are open to magic, and teach some, but neither encourage heavy use of it, nor condone the usage of harmful spell work. Quite the contrary, Orchid preaches life based upon magic. They have many schools and organizations that spread spell knowledge. This includes hurtful and helpful spells alike.

The appearances of Humans vary as well, depending on which part of the continent they live on and which region of the mainland they descend from. Northern Humans generally have lighter skin, and darker features, while southern folk keep bronze complexions and lighter features. Ever since spirits came from the skies above and inhabited the beings of Dagger-Tooth, there’ve been oddities in looks, such as wild eye or hair color. Some cases have been reported, for instance, where people have had constantly changing eye color. Note that this occurs in all races, although is more common in Human.

Tireen– Smallest of the races of Dagger-Tooth. They are very slender and short. Their voices tend to be wispy yet musical. The Tireen are a mix between an ancient race from the mainland and Humans. This ancient race- remembered to have been called Elves- was too in love with their homeland to travel out. So the Tireen stand upon Dagger-Tooth, and make up the second-largest group of people upon the land.

They stand about five feet tall on average, weighing in the vicinity of 90 pounds. While they are of smaller build, underestimating a Tireen is a mistake. They have very compact, powerful muscles. They’re able to spring to heights of ten or more feet in a single bound, or run as fast as forty miles per hour. Tireen can have any assortment of normal colored hair or eyes, but also have a small rate of stranger shades come to being. They have either light blue or green-tinted skin.

Tireen are extremely secretive, and prefer privacy. But since they’ve had good relations with Humans in the past, they’ll quickly do barter with or even help the Humans. The relationship they have with Kunai, however, is somewhat lacking. Kunai shrugged Tireen off to be like their Elven parent- proud, arrogant, and blinded by it. Of course, this assumption is far from true, as the Tireen are a humble folk who would wish nothing more than to aid the world in its growth. Still, Tireen would rather not deal with the Kunai, and the feeling is returned. They have little to no relation at all.

Kunai– Imposing, powerfully built beast-men. They seem to have Dragon as well as Tiger blood within their veins. These people stand very impressive- about eight feet tall and weighing in around 230 pounds. They are humanoid in shape, except for a long tail that sprouts from the lower back. Kunai differ very much from one another. Some may be more scale than fur. For instance, in the case of the tail: some Kunai may have a furry, fluffy cat-like tail, while others may have the hard, spike-ridged appendage of Dragons.

Another aspect of the Kunai race is their hair- or fur/scale/skin- color. Kunai come in three colors: Blue, Red, and Green. What color you are born sort of determines where you stand in the normal Kunai society. Blue presides over all, with Red coming in second, and Green taking the lowest rank. This doesn’t limit a Kunai from advancing, but it may hinder it - others of a ‘superior’ color may still look down upon, and make fun of, that Green Kunai General, say. One color to a Kunai. If they have Red hair and fur, they have reddish skin and scale.

Completely up to the player, Kunai can be any percentage mix of Dragon-attribute and Cat-attribute. A Kunai that is very scaly and draconic in appearance would be a higher percentage Dragon. You may put down your percentages next to race on the character sheet.

Also about the Kunai—they are a physically strong people. Their culture is still quite tribe-like, and looks up to a single chief. Kunai generally have wholly fur-covered bodies, with bits of scale covering legs and arms down to feet and hands. Their limbs must end so roughly due to the terrain they are most at home in. The scales they have work very well upon the rock. Kunai most usually have white-colored eyes. Very few- and it is a rarity and considered a blessing upon the tribe- Kunai come with colored eyes. This is believed to happen simply due to the spirit parasites that came upon them on day one. A Kunai face can be anywhere in the range of peaceful (more looking catlike) or demonic (taking on the looks of the Dragon) – all depending, of course, upon player choice.

Places

Dagger-Tooth- Map Here!! (http://www.magnamagin.com/braverstate/AE%20MAP%201.jpg)

New Day– Approximate Population: 100, Established: 1 A.E. First of Homes. Largely made up of Humans, but a few Kunai and Tireen still remain and continue to help the town along. Folk of this town are very accepting and extraordinarily nice. They’ve grown up from very rough times, and made this place town to break the fall. It has grown well, and now prospers as the largest seaport on Dagger-Tooth. Traveling the waters around the coast is easy, and provides a good means to reach other parts of the land. The Harbor & Ship Master, one called Zulu, is the unofficial leader of the town. He sits among a council and heads it up. His leadership and organizational skills are perfect for running New Day.

Orchid– Pop.: 150, Est.: 3 A.E. Darkest of Homes. The second Human-based town to be established. There are, however, just as there are in New Day: those of the Kunai and Tireen. The people of Orchid are generally an untrustworthy bunch, who deceive and betray frequently. That’s not saying everyone is- it’s just lead by larger organizations that vie for supremacy. In the heat of such competition, there are oft lies, hatred, and even bloodshed. There are four of these such guilds; all centered on magic, yet each taking a different elemental as its brand. They largely influence the running of Orchid, as there is no- elected or otherwise- official.

Glindayle– Pop.: 50, Est.: 6 A.E. Fishing Capital. Five years after New Day was set, a small group of fishermen left to raise their own town. They did so further north, on the eastern coast. It’s a very simple village, living on its large amount of fish export. They have enough citizens to have desire for some form of regulation. Thus, every year they hold a contest to choose the new leader. Staying true to their nature, the title goes to the one who catches the largest fish.

Tre’yuu – Pop.: 35, Est.: 10 A.E. Tireen-friend City. Standing testament to the friendship between Humans and Tireen. Both these races worked together to form Tre’yuu into what it is now: the most well-known, flourishing trade hub of Dagger-Tooth. Shops within accommodate those traveling to do trade. Kunai occasionally come, as they know they’re welcome to, but mostly wish to keep from the Elf-descendants.

Chonü– Pop.: 25, Est.: 21 A.E. Life within the Trees. More a resort town for those seeking the beauty of the forest. There are hardly any dangerous factors within the wood, thanks to the Tireen security. Thirty-one years in, and with a well-flowing economy, this is where many people choose to spend their coin.

Lastingwood– Pop.: 120, Est.: 2 A.E. Sacred of the Tireen-land. Deep within the southern forests is a grand city within the trees. All know this land to be forbidden to anyone but the Tireen. It’s not that they do not trust or like other races, but simply a matter of want of privacy. Tireen found the timbers to be enchanted. The Trees of Lastingwood grow swiftly, and nourish everything near. The forest floor is teeming with smaller wildlife- mainly polychromatic assortments of flowers. Nothing dark enters the area, and any magic used is done so in such tiny amount that all negative energy brought upon by the incantation is swallowed up by the holiness of the place. Tireen rule their city with an heirloom crown, passed on down the generations, marking current Kingship.

Leili– Pop.: 60, Est.: 1 A.E. Hidden among the Rock. City of caves and crevasses. The Kunai built their home into the mountain Gashclimb. There are natural and unnatural tunnels woven all about. Those that required support were given such in the manner of wood. The Kunai are a very nomadic crowd, and their place of living reflects that. The tortuous cave systems would dumfound any Human for weeks, even months. But the Kunai have an innate sense of direction that none could better. On the outside, Leili seems a violent existence, but within sparkle precious gemstones and gigantic crystals- the size of broadswords or better, even! Kunai love to dig, and are thoroughly proud of the findings they tend to make. Humans are known to buy such intricate rocks for mighty high prices. This is the largest business within Leili, and while the Kunai are very secluded, they can often get aggressive amongst themselves. There are a few factions within Leili that compete in mining, constantly searching for the best valuable mineral caches. The Chieftain of the Kunai allows such rivalry because it increases production and spirit.

Organizations

City Fleet Clans- Among the ships at New Day and other harbor cities, there are many groups that fight for business. If you’ve got a ship, you’re in a state of regular worry. Not only do you have to present the best offers for carrying merchandise, please the eyes and bodies of passengers, and show the speed of your vessel against a flotilla of others- but you’ve got to watch for predators. If you’re good, people suffering from your boom in the industry are going to be out to get you. That, and the occasional raider just looking to pillage all your wares- for indeed, there still are those sorts about. There are numerous Clans among the ships, so if you’re wishing to partake in the fun, registering with Ship Master Zulu has never been a trouble. Come up with an official name, symbol, and get yourself a place to dock, and you’re ready.

Pirate Rings- There are a few notorious groupings of ships that belong to different Pirate circles. The most infamous being the Dagger-Grin Ring, running eight ships strong, three of which are Juggernauts, mighty sea-battle lords of the water. Running in second place is the Talon Ring, based somewhere concealed within the Tiger River Breakers, a long stretch of cliffs north of Glindayle that meet the ocean and have monolithic caverns which run deep into the land and are easily accessed and navigated by water. They’re rumored to only own five ships, all simple creations sporting speed. The last group comes in at only three vessels. But by no means are they the weakest. Known as the Ruby Ring, the crew make up for lack of greater numbers, long-range weapons, or boarding capabilities with their skill in magic. They’re the only pirates identified to have used the dark arts.

Mage Guilds- Of these, there are four and only four. Their powers are equally matched. Their battle is a race to discover the next newest bit of magic. Firstly, the Inferno Guild, hailing the powers of Fire. Second is the Tundra Guild, showing prowess in the elemental magic Ice. Third comes the Tornado Guild, representing Wind. And fourth, those holding Earth above all other powers, the Green Guild. Every guild resides within Orchid, and each one has its own headquarters and Grandmaster.

Kunai Brotherhoods- These are the dig teams who compete against each other for riches deep within Gashclimb. There are, in fact, only three, and each one employs only one color of Kunai. The Mist, The Rage, and The Rock are the groups, made up of Blue, Red, and Green respectively. It is friendlier than most contest though, and thanks to the Chief of the Kunai, will only go toward building respect for one another and strengthening the might of this already mighty race.

Anti-Magic Cults- One of this classification actually exists. It is made up of mainly Tireen, but does wield some Humans. They fight against the furthering of magic… silently brooding on how best to deal with what they see as menace. It is their belief that it was magical advancement that destroyed the mainland. The gist of the story is this: Magic is evil stored away within the planet. When anyone breaks into this energy, they are, in a way, reviving the demons of the world. The Cult of Shards sees it their duty to purge this new land of magic, so that it may yet survive. It is led by an energetic Tireen fellow of light skin, and parasite-spirit-induced fiery features. His hair is bright red and swept back, and his eyes flicker as though with flame. Pyriron is his name.

Other- There are, noticeably, many other factions. The most prevalent of these would be located within larger Human towns, and would be less significant gangs or cliques.

Technology & Wizardry

Bloodline Echo– Wicked spirit-parasites that, from the first day settlers came upon Dagger-Tooth, found homes within the travelers. Every spirit imbues a unique power upon the host. The negative effects of this infection are unknown, although many claim that the toll is the eventual loss of the soul. Everyone is occupied by some spirit, whether voyaging colonist or native-born, although spirit types stay within the family. Parents don’t pass the possession onto the child, but instead each imparts a small bit of both their parasites into the new life. This means new skills may be available, but most likely the newborn is left with the powers of one of the parents’ parasite. While the abilities are there, it doesn’t mean they have to be used. Large numbers of people refuse to employ the talents stored within, in fact. Examples of a gift bestowed by a parasite would be unnatural speed, eagle sight, or maybe even as bizarre as flight!

Magic- The Magic on Dagger-Tooth is very quaint. They’ve not had much time to advance, and a majority of the ships with skilled casters on them sank. Progress on spell work is being made in Orchid. Yet they’ve only access to simple spells- elemental blasts, invisible barriers, detections, and minor healing types. The mages of Orchid are working fervently to gain back the lost knowledge.

Technology- It’s been thirty-one years since the forced living upon Dagger-Tooth, and they’ve not advanced far on the paths of warfare. Weapons are rare, and oftentimes simple things like kitchen knives, tree axes, or hammers serve in place. Wooden weapons are common, and stone-enhanced ones aren’t that hard to come across either. Full out metal blades used in battle are incredibly uncommon. What towns use defensive items such as walls, are made of wood. Wood is very abundant, especially due to the supernatural aura around the trees of Lastingwood. They grow at an exponential pace, rapidly replacing trees cut down.

Ships- Dagger-Tooth boats are very sturdy, built with durability and skill. The people of the land know these vessels well, and many still make a profession of working on them. They have great sails, fast-responding rudders, spacious below-decks, nigh-impenetrable keels, and even space for cannons. Only a few ships still have functioning cannons, and even more prized are the cannonballs. Since none are manufactured upon the land, any ships using these weapons must be conservative and make sure to always be on the lookout for more. They’ll steal them from other ships, claim ones fired into them, and even sometimes dive for more.

Note

Storyline base drive as posted in the poll thread:

Magic exists, but it's... unnatural. It shouldn't be used. The northern Human town, Orchid, is using very much of it. There are those who are against magic, but not everyone believes it was the reason for the mainland's destruction. Then again, many profit and survive by magic. This is a battle of beliefs- and how this conflict can be resolved. Every side has an absolute... can there be a compromise? Or will all magic need to be halted for life to continue? Then again, perhaps there is something beyond the magic that is the cause. Something's going to happen, and it's going to affect everyone.

Name- Gaise Marson

Race- Human

Gender- Male

Age- 24

Weight- 129lbs

Height- 5’9”

Town Affiliation- Glindayle

Organization- General of Glindayle Harbour Guard

Bloodline Echo- Unknown Sight. One of the reasons Gaise had reached his post was for what stirs within him appears to allow ambiguous glimmers of things that may be. Never controlled, and not often understood. Sometimes it is more immediate, allowing him foresight into a captured ship attempting to dock with ill means, others it is more scaled and several glimmers he has yet never understood from years past. Perhaps they’ve past unaware or are yet to appear, but he puts little weight on them.

Eyes- Dark Blue, though his left has a more brassy brown shade to it.

Hair- Silvery blonde

Skin- Humanly white?

Equipment- Cavalry Sabre (inherited from family line) and 7 inch dagger made from high quality pressed wood resin interlace, sharp as most daggers of metal equivalent. Black polished finish with 3 inch red material covered handle.

Appearance-
<img src=http://mywebpage.netscape.com/Mikeido%20San/rp/Marson.jpg width=400 height=300>

Biography- Gaise was originally born in Orchid, though from a young age his father decided to leave the area, for as powerful as he may have been, the daggers that floated out of sight and the threat they brought were too much for his taste. Though in truth what caused the final decision to leave was the death of Gaise’s mother when he was but four years old. To the day the hand that ceased her is unknown, but the vision of finding his mother dead through knife wound, his father laid close by, clinging to what little life he still held as he also bore a dangerous lower chest wound. Gaise’s father recovered in short time, bearing the scar as living memory, he was from that day never the same man. Though beforehand he may have been calculating, powerful, he was now cold and detracted, a man of solace. The one thing that stilled Gaise’s sorrow over the tragedy was when they vacated Orchid in place of Glindayle. For in that time, the genuine enthralment of the open seas and motion of the great craft that led them to Glindayle raptured the young boy. Over the years the lad developed into a young man, inheriting the perfectly balanced sabre that still bore the Marson’s family crest from whence they still lived upon the now damned lands. Gaise’s decision to join the Harbour patrol now years ago was one of the few moments his father had actually shown some genuine interest or appreciation in his actions and had handed him the weapon personally. That day, now so many years ago is the second of two memories that would constantly haunt the lad. These days he is one of the few that officially regulate shipments through Glindayle, ensuring what is said to be shipped is and people are given fair trade that Glindayle is admired for so.

Name- Lerin Eglathol

Race- Tireen

Gender- Male

Age- 27

Weight- 94 lbs

Height- 5' 1”

Town Affiliation- Tre’yuu

Organization- None. Toolsmith. Hunter.

Bloodline Echo- Ability to calm/attract beasts. He finds it useful in his occupation. He can call an animal to him if need be and coax it into letting him ride it if it is a rideable beast.

Eyes- Grey

Hair- Black

Skin- Green Tint

Equipment- Carries a bow given to him by his father. It is made out of wood from the Homeland. It comes with a quiver of bone arrows. The arrowheads are made out of Kratus bones. Very lightweight, sharp, and lasts a long time. He also has a long dagger made out of Kratus bones as well. It is smooth on one side while serrated on the other.

Appearance Description- Wears hair long. Brown tunic with lightweight pants made from the hide of a Kratus, sort of like very tough but flexible leather. Dons a green cloak when hunting.
(I’ll get a pic up soon)

Biography- Born in Lasting Wood 2 years after the establishment of the city and 4 years after the colonizing of Dagger-Tooth. He grew up learning to hunt the Kratus in the forest. It is a large, elk-like beast with dark green skin that is very hard to track, only a handful of people in Dagger-Tooth have had success in hunting this beast. It is hunted not for it’s meat, but for it’s bones and hide. The bones make very useful tools, while the hide can be adapted into durable clothing.

Lerin is sort of a Tireen outcast. He chose to leave Lasting Wood in order to start a business of selling Kratus bones and hides. He has residence in Tre’yuu, but makes semi-monthly trips to Glindayle to make his profits. He makes Kratus-bone tools at his shop Tre’yuu, and so far as been semi-successful. Though rare and useful are Kratus materials, they are not practical for everyday living. Most people can make wooden tools that get the job done for a fraction of the cost of a Kratus tool.

Lerin is very soft-spoken and doesn’t strike up much conversation unless making a deal. He uses his Bloodline Echo to great effect when hunting. (It will be easier for me to reveil more about him in the IC. Can’t really develop a character well in theses bios :p )

Looks all good so far, 'cept, Roku, ya gotta remember that Dagger-Tooth has only been civilized for 31 years. With your current age, you could not have been born upon this land. Also, it's called New Day, not New City, :P.

Roku

08-24-2003, 08:46 PM

Is it okay now Tifa? Also, fo some reason I thought the explosion happened to Earth, so I added in the australian bit. But now it is all changed, along with the name of the gang.

Sev

08-24-2003, 11:30 PM

Yeah, it's good now, thanks!
One other thing- you can call me Sev or EoT. I'm a dude, just got my EyesOnTifa, get it? :P

Fluff

08-25-2003, 06:02 AM

Why does it seem like you were all ready with your characters? ;)

Mikeido

08-25-2003, 07:00 AM

Because we're imaginative and type well? ;) Well maybe that's just me lol, sure I had the name and picture, but I've had that for ages, just write the bio up as I read over the topic again. Then proceeded to edit the biop a couple times cause somethings I said or the way I asid em didn't quite make sense. All fine now.

An yeah considering I'm used to calling him Sev, I laughed when you got called Tifa, thought it was a joke then saw the sn an went ooh, lol.

Tycho238

08-25-2003, 07:04 AM

Why does it seem like you were all ready with your characters? ;)

Well, right when the poll ended, and saw that Years AE won, I decided not to procrastinate and went right ahead with the bio. I had nothing else to do, plus I wanted to make sure I was one of the first ones to submit a character. I didn't know if Sev was going to limit the amount of each species that can be played, and I really wanted my Tireen character.

Roku

08-25-2003, 11:00 AM

I dont plan at all, thats probably why my bio's SUCK. I just thought a gang leader would be cool and made it up as I went.

And sorry Sev, Im new here.

After looking even deeper into this, I have to withdraw my earlier comments about the RPG. I guess some things slipped by me (or weren't there before) and made me believe this was just your standard RPG. Well done.

Sev

08-25-2003, 11:20 PM

Aww, heeey, thanks. It's all good. I'm real touchy... I had a run-in with Mikeido in the RP section at Sister Moons when we first met, lol. Was it there? Ah, well, it was funny.

And about the limits, like Tycho had mentioned:
I don't wanna limit anyone, but I would fully hope that you'd all explore the possibilities. I mean, if you wanna have like a secondary character, go for it. Post up info on him/her, be it enemy or ally. Anything to enrich! 'Course, if you all like Tireen (can't blame ya, mine is gonna be one too, haha) then that's cool, cos', well... I think I put in enough to make it so race was just one of those little things. There're only three species anyhow, which is smaller than normal (for me at least) but where the lack of choice in that comes in, it is made up for in faction ideas, skills/powers, towns... lotta different things you could be.
On a side note: I'm a rambler like Mike, :P.

Er, also I was thinking maybe I should take that bit about Pyriron off, so if someone wanted to make their own character be the leader of that anti-magic guild, then they'd have more freedom. But then again, if someone likes him as he is described, they can very well take control of him and add more about him. That also goes for Harbor Master Zulu, ^_^.

Roku, don't worry about it- you aren't the first, lol. Comical memories come along with that one, haha. When I first came here, everyone thought I was a Tifa, too... it was kinda a big joke thingy for a long time. DZO and Edgar would totally remember.

Speaking of DZO, since I'm here... I was wondering if he's been around lately. Over at SM I posted up a new drawing, all for him, lol, showing him the improvements in my artwork.

Biography-
Althea is a wanderer. Born in a tiny village nearest to Leila, she was orphaned young and the local sword-master and his wife became her foster parents.

Name- Arkanis
Race- Human
Gender- Male
Age- 51
Weight- 160 pounds
Height- 5’9”
Town Affiliation- Orchid
Organization- Inferno Guild
Bloodline Echo- “Legilimancy”. The parasite residing within Arkanis literally makes him a human lie detector. Able to detect the slightest hint of emotion and purpose within speech, Arkanis knows almost all that goes on around him. With enough concentration, Arkanis can scrape away pieces of thoughts and memories from the exterior of a living mind.
Eyes- Dark grey
Hair- Silvery White
Skin- Slightly tanned color
Equipment- Arkanis is garmented in long, dark mage robes. His only material weapon is an ordinary wooden staff.
Appearance Description- http://atlantic.photoisland.com/sessions/61392808548/20392189lg.jpg
Biography- Being one of the only survivors of the great catastrophe, Arkanis has spent the last 31 years trying to recover what he believed was a great loss to the world, magic. Witnessing the fall of the former civilization in which he called ‘home’ and the rise of the many cities of Dagger-tooth, Arkanis has ever since lived in turmoil, never being able to find peace at heart. His true name, as like those of many other mages is unknown. No one dares question his personal past; which seemingly perished along with his former home. Growing older as the days go by, the people of Orchid begin to question his sanity. Has he finally gone insane?

As a senior member of the Inferno Guild, Arkanis does all he can to promote the use of magic. His Bloodline Echo makes him the most influential member around the Inferno Guild.

Name- Dimetricus Basbatam (Duh-Me-Truh-cuss Baz-Buh-Tam)
Race- Tireen
Gender- Male
Age- 62 Years
Weight- 76 Pounds
Height- 4 Feet, 4 Inches
Town Affiliation- Orchid
Organization- Ruby Ring
Bloodline Echo- Water Manipulation- Able to bend the waves to will with ease.
Eyes- Copper Brown
Hair- Golden Yellow, worn down- cheek length- and messy, with a small goatee
Skin- Light Blue
Equipment- Large red overcoat atop a crude iron breastplate. Wrapped around his right sleeve is a band that holds onto a silver dagger. His boots are adorned with cheap metal studs and spikes.
Appearance Description- Short, even for a Tireen. His small build is very deceiving, and many a felled-foe has learned underestimation to be fatal. From his left ear hangs a stone inscribed with the ancient rune of water. Dangling from his right sleeve is a similar trinket, only this one is of air. His coat is oversized, and rarely seen are his hands.

http://www.magnamagin.com/braverstate/Sevdraw%20-%20Demetricus.jpg
I drew 'dat just for this!

Biography- Inducted into the mage-pirate Ruby Ring at 20 years of age, Dimetricus was of prime pickings for crew to set out to the new land, having 11 years of experience and much power to his credit. It was on his 31st birthday that they came upon Dagger-Tooth and it was then that the homeland was born into death. Unknown were his human parents, and his Elf parents had stayed behind, with the rest of their now-lost race. Always feeling as though he had nothing to live for, Dimetricus always bordered on the edge, throwing himself into dangerous predicaments. Often he’d quarrel with people of larger stature, which just happened to be anyone and everyone. His calm features quickly turn to rage.

Orchid, being the chief Mage town of the new world, recently contacted the Ruby Ring. They had dealings with them in previous times, having served mainly as a guard on sea voyages. It was simple for the leaders of Orchid, namely the Inferno Guild, to convince the newly-appointed captain Dimetricus that they were to be trusted and looked upon as friend.

Not only does Dimetricus have power over the waters, but his magic skills have developed greatly since his initiation into the Ruby Ring. The previous captain came to like the little Tireen and taught him many ways of magic. His most prominent are the schools of air and water, greatly influencing sea travel. The most advanced of spells would be the incantation which sets the winds in the favor of their sails. His mentor, before he passed away and handed rank down to Dimetricus, knew of superior spells- such as great summons, where he could bid giant whales to tip enemy freighters or wish for sudden whirlpools. This knowledge though, as with most of the advanced spells, was lost.

Note- Hey, Lion Heart, think maybe Dimetricus could have contact with Arkanis for his dealings with the Inferno Guild? It's like an alliance between your character's mage guild and my character's pirate ring. I was thinking Arkanis could employ Dimetricus' crew to do some raiding. Since I'll be doing the first IC post, I'll figure that out and post my ideas up here so you can see, okey?

Hmmm..... I hope no one minds me getting involved with another RPG... might give me motivation to write more.

I don't have a bio yet, but I do have a question... when you talk about the Bloodline Echo, is that just a special power, or is that the magic you can use? Can you use that and magic? I'm a little confused (and tired, heh).

Minds? :dagger: We'd love to see you in another rpg Arvis, sure. As for the Echo thing, I think it is just a unique ability since everyone has it, would make the idea of magic being abhored kinda funny.

An I swear everyone waits till I'm gone to statrt doing things in the rp forum lol, well I got coffee and cozy chair so lil reading to be done now. An lucky I'm busy with Kuroj aor I'd be idly writing an IC post for this.

08-29-2003, 03:40 AM

Heh, well, here's my weird character... working your arse off all day doesn't help you get any creative ideas, you know... :p Hope he's ok.

Name- Rosch
Race- Kunai -- 90% Dragon, 10% Cat
Gender- Male
Age- 21
Weight- 280
Height- 8'7"
Town Affiliation- Leili
Organization- The Rock, Kunai Brotherhood
Bloodline Echo- Regeneration
Eyes- White
Hair- Green
Skin- Green
Equipment- Leather Clothing
Appearance Description- Rosch has a large build, even for a Kunai. Because most of his body is a dragon's type, he is very scaly, and does not look much different than a grungy, oversized lizard. The color tone of his body is that of a metallic greenish, with darker green, mane runs straight down his back and onto his tail. He has thick arms and legs as well a thick green mane runs straight down his back and onto his tail.
Biography- A miner in the Rock digging team his whole life, Rosch has spent almost all of his time in the long, dark mines of Gashclimb digging for valuable gems and ores. It seems almost home to him, and there he does not have to deal with the scorn he can feel from most of his Kunai brothers. Scorn is something he knows well, since they have looked down upon Rosch upon all his life. From his younger days on, his rank and his grungy appearance have not earned him many friends, and with only a few rough miners to turn to, a dark and cynical disposition has developed like a cloak around him. Though he mines tirelessly for his brothers and the Rock, he gets little of the respect that he deserves. He does not mind, however; mining to him is not work, but a way to be at peace with him-self and the mountain.
Rosch remembers nothing of his parents. As far as he knows, he never had any, jokingly thinking himself to be born of a grotesque convolution of rock and ore from the mountain. What he can remember is that ever since he was young he has been taken care of by a kind-hearted few of the miners, which don't know much about Rosch's parents either. Though a person at the bottom of the social ladder, he has a few friends within the Rock that do give him some comfort. To be totally alone would be something that few, if any, could stand.
Growing to an unusual size has, in addition to his looks, made him a bit of a freak, and an unpopular one with many Kunai. However, his large size given him great strength and robustness; the likes of which has not of yet been matched by any of his fellow brethren. Because he possess strong scales and uncanny toughness and stamina, he has proven to be much, much more durable and robust than the others of his kind, as if he were as hard as the ore the Kunai mined. Although he is blessed with such gifts, Rosch lacks the speed and fquickness that his more cat-like brothers possess.
Another interesting trait of his is besides his resilience, whatever wounds and scratches he does acquire heal much quicker than those others like him. By summoning up energy inside of him, he can heal himself almost instantly if desired, replenishing his tired and wounded body in a single moment. But even with this bloodline echo he possess, Rosch would much rather let himself heal naturally, thereby avoiding unwanted scrutiny and a strange pain afterwards.

Name- Abel Du’mont
Race- Human
Gender- Male
Age- 21
Weight- 175 pounds
Height- 6’2
Town Affiliation- Orchid
Organization- Inferno Guild
Bloodline Echo- Added depth in sight, and a slight sense of telepathy. Abel is able to perceive colors and objects more intricately. At times he may hear the thoughts of those around him, though he has no control over this power.
Eyes- Dark Blue (normally) / Black / Red-Orange (the color of fire)
Hair- Dark Red
Skin- Tan
Equipment- An unusual whip made of Ogg hide, very durable and painful if YOU are at the receiving end. (Ogg Whip)

Abel also carries a pack of needles with him. When used properly, the needle can paralyze, kill, or soothe the body. The needles are customized to Abel’s liking; the needles’ lengths vary from four to six inches.

Appearance Description- Abel possesses a muscular build; this coupled with a handsome, youthful face has attracted quite a number of admirers. He usually favors clothing that expresses life or fire. (a more “intimate” description maybe given soon + pic)

Biography- If a word was used to describe Abel’s life, it would have to be … controversy. Though Abel seemed to have been born with so many unique traits uncommon to most humans, his “perverse” desire for the abnormal led to his discrimination and eventual displacement in society.

Abel was born in New Day, where he learned to cope with the destruction and sadness present within the hearts of the citizenry. However, the presence of the many cultures within the town has been quite a benefit for him. He was able to learn and respect each race’s customs. His innate ability to see the intricate patterns within each object also enabled him to become an impressive artist.

This “gift” Abel possessed made him fall in love with the human physique, but more on the male physique. In time this passion was transformed into lust and he gave in to his desires. Soon, his best friend, Saens became an intimate partner, or rather his lover. Gossip was all about in a matter of weeks and Abel was driven out by some of the purists within the society. His mate was not as fortunate as he … Saens was stoned and burned alive in front a raging mob outside the town, while Abel barely made it out alive.

Dazed and grief-stricken, Abel searched the world for answers to why he has suffered so much. His travels took him far and wide, at times he would help other people, sometimes, and he may simply cause them pain. It was during this time that he took a liking to the usage of magic. Along his journey, he practiced the art of fire. Initially, he would struggle with the basics of the magic, but he was able to create unique techniques and spells later on.

At some point in time, Abel decided to reside in Orchid to hone his craft. Thus, he has been staying there for quite some time now … dedicated in developing his skills as both artist and magician. And yes … Abel still has private matters, but he has made sure to keep private matters private.

Thats actually much better than your earlier stuff, working at it really pays off. Your proportions have improved much more.
You should work on clothing though, the pants seem odd. But clothing is the hardest thing to do sometimes.
Your coloring is prolly as good as mine, lol, ive always been horrible at coloring my work. Unless im actually painting with Oil, i veer from color.
Much better stuff, take some look into some anatomy books for some detail on muscles and stuff, unless you can get into a drawing class that handles that. It helps to look at some real life physiology so you can relate it to whatever you wish to do.

I cant make any promises on a Bio yet, but i am interested and i have an idea, but we'll have to see.

EoT posted this before:

And about the limits, like Tycho had mentioned:
I don't wanna limit anyone, but I would fully hope that you'd all explore the possibilities. I mean, if you wanna have like a secondary character, go for it. Post up info on him/her, be it enemy or ally. Anything to enrich! 'Course, if you all like Tireen (can't blame ya, mine is gonna be one too, haha) then that's cool, cos', well... I think I put in enough to make it so race was just one of those little things. There're only three species anyhow, which is smaller than normal (for me at least) but where the lack of choice in that comes in, it is made up for in faction ideas, skills/powers, towns... lotta different things you could be.
On a side note: I'm a rambler like Mike, :P.

Yeah, making a second character sheet for a *significant* secondary character is a good idea. But don't make things for just anyone and everyone, ya know? So sure, do it if you intend to use this character in a lot of your posts and you want us to know the info on him. 'Cos, ya know, it's all about the story. So yer cool, no worries.

And crybaby- every single person on this world has a Bloodline Echo. It said in the first part of my OOC thingy that all were infected with the black spirits that fell from the skies, remembah? Please give yer character some kinda Echo, even if it is a quaint one, thanks!

Oh, heh, sorry, I'm kinda new at this.

Bloodline Echo: Incredible tracking ability. Almost as if she can smell whomever she is searching for. This is very helpfull as she can smell that her fathers killer has been to this village.

Hows that? I sorta ran out of ideas.

P.S. I'm typing with one hand, the other one is sorta wrapped up because I fell on it, so please excuse any spellin or punctuational errors. :)

EDIT: I found these 2 pics. This is the look of my charactor. I did not make these pictures, but my character looks like the blonde. Except my character is a bit more shy. heh. Picture her as a damsel in distress and you'll get the picture. heh.

Name- Ts'ao

Race- Kunai

Gender- Male

Age- 31

Weight- 300 lbs

Height- 9'

Town Affiliation- none

Organization- none

Bloodline Echo- Hard to tell, as far as anyone can tell he has no special or unique power. Yet he is clearly posessed as he was born nearly pure white with crystal blue eyes.

Eyes- Crystal Blue

Hair- White

Skin- White

Equipment- is seen carrying something wrapped on his back, like a large halberd or staff, but it has never been used or even displayed.

Appearance Description-
http://kaitou.mysitespace.com/images/Tsao.jpg

Biography- Tsao was born almost the same instant that the great event which rocked the world took place. His pregnant mother had been voyaging to see his far away father when the destruction occured, sparing them both. But the devastation that resulted cost Tsao his fathers life, and in this harsh new world his mother could not last as well. She died when young Tsao was only 6, he had been the only child in the area, and so grew up alone and outcast and feared by the adults. His odd coloring, gave them fear, and reminded them of the horrible events...so it was a relief when Tsao vanished from the tribes and dissapeared. He was soon forgotten by the tribe, who started to prosper in this new world, and he was forgotten by all as a new generation arose.
Tsao has been alone now nearly his whole life. He speaks rarely, and rarely sees anyone. He travelled in isolation making his way to Tireen lands before he was discovered and had to move on, he currently is hired out as muscle at Tre'yuu. He works nights, to avoid most people and keeps to himself.

09-10-2003, 11:39 PM

Awright Darknight! Thanks for joining up. So... the, uh, Parasite gave him a horn too? lol... I'm just playing, it's fine and we get the idea. But I don't doubt, with how good a job you did on the fur color, that you could remove the horn. Looks good, 'cept remember that Arvis has a Kunai that is considered large for his race, and he's actually smaller than your dude. I mean, you can be any size you want, I just don't know if you saw that or not. It's on page 2. The Kunai gots the average weight of 230 and a height of 8 feet. Speaking of which...

Arvis, if it'd be easier, and I think perhaps cooler, if you increased the size of your character, so much that we get the real idea that perhaps his parasite gave him crazy large size. Er, well... maybe I shouldn't get so deep into this, because DZO might want his dude bigger. But I'll just leave my info and suggestions there: take 'em or leave 'em, either way, it's cool.

Kai, I highly suggest you read it all. I know they can get lengthy, but once you sit down with it and read, it'll go by quickly. People write them for you to read them, ya know. We don't just put so much effort into them to boost our post count or something... I mean, hey, once you get caught up, if you read every new post as it comes out, then you'll stay at pace and never get behind. That's the worst thing to let happen- keep with it and you'll be straight.

And hey, Lion Heart...
Do you wanna post the next one with our characters in it? If not, I can takle it. I just don't wanna post anything yet, cos' you may've started something already. Just checking!

ALSO! Crybaby, think maybe it'd be cool for your character to be so curious about Arkanis that you stow away on the Ruby Guild mainship, Ruby? I think we could work that in, and it'd be pretty interesting. Just another suggestion! :P

http://kaitou.mysitespace.com/images/Tsao.jpg

LOL. I KNEW someone was going to do that. Khimari makes a perfect Kunai, doesn't he? :p

Anyway, Tifa, I just tried to make him just a little bigger than the rest, not too much bigger. I didn't want to make him REALLY big, but now that you mention it, it would seem a bit more interesting. I was planning to use his regeneration for a certain story part, but perhaps I'll think of something else. Not a whole lot has happened yet, anyway. Except.... bloodechos are supposed to be a skill you use that hurts you in some way, right? Action, and reaction. Having a permenant effect of the bloodecho, like growing to great size, would be kinda hard to do, since a permanent action would generate a permanent reaction, which is great... pain? Hmm.... Now I sound like a physics teacher... lol.
Course, I don't want to change any of DZO's plans either, so if it's ok with him, I guess I'll screw around with my character, somehow making him bigger or such.

I just made him a generic large height to emphasize the freakish and outcast nature. As he has been away from his kind for years he looks normal to everyone else, as they expect Kunai to be big.
If indeed he wants a similar effect with his character to emphasize the freakish nature like i did, than thats all fine, but he did well with the all dragon part too.

And aha i have an explanation for the horn.(reason i used him he is perfect for this race). As he is freakish and outcast, he is like the opposite of Arvis. He is mostly tiger, but has that big dragon like horn in the middle. Thats one reason i kept it, as 1) i was lazy, and the coloring and such was easy, 2) i needed a lil dragon to show in the picture.

He is unsure of his parasite so far(one because i have a faint faint idea of what to do with it, and two because i like mystery, lol.) I prolly wont even know what it does, until i write it up one day in a post, i surprise myself as such.

Awright, it all sounds good.
Although... I don't exactly remember saying that Echos were painful. It is just a rumor that the cost is the eventual loss of the soul, since almost everyone looks upon the spirits that came from the sky as though they're evil.

And Mikeido, that sounds cool too. I thought that was the idea. That's why I explained more of the terrain in my post. Good thinking! And I ain't read the new IC posts yet, but I see Kaitou posted something. We can work to have you all come in and see stuff.

-EDIT-

Okey, so I got done reading the newest post, :P. And now that Gaise and Althea have seen what's going on and are interested... well... see, I plan on having the two surviving Ruby ships sail into the inner cave docks. They'll battle some more ships, probably... like... 2 or something, nail them both, then from there they'll get off and travel about the vast caves in search of peeps to kill and the Map of Ruins!! Wee! Awrighty... so then... if Crybaby stows away, she can be found and taken along as perhaps under guard... so the expedition crew could be Dimetricus, Arkanis, Graver, and crybaby's character.

But... how do you intend to meet up with the Ruby Ring peeps without conflict? :P Or maybe we should have conflict? lol... I was thinking that those of the Ruby had this mutual understanding with Gaise and neither looked at him as friend nor foe. Potential ally... perhaps. The Talon Ring *did* strike out at the Jiranna, unprovoked. So Gaise could understand the act of defense... but would he understand and be okey with the mission to destroy and plunder? Ideas? :P

Arvis

09-12-2003, 12:38 AM

Oh, I see. That clears everything up. I'd redo my bio, but not really any reason to do that, I'll just go with the flow. Cept, his bloodline echo is different so he's a lot bigger now, heh.

Tycho238

09-12-2003, 09:04 AM

I'll try to add a post this weekend and somehow get my character involved in the big events of things. Been really busy lately, and haven't had time to catch up on the story.

kiyo-chan

09-12-2003, 04:56 PM

::takes deep breath::
well this just might be the stupidest thing i could do when apps are so close but i thought i might throw in a chara and a developement story before someone steals my idea ( i know you people are reading my mind!! ). so here's to hoping...

Name- Aieko Ere
Race- human/tireen
Gender- female
Age- 19
Weight- 112 lbs.
Height- 5’ 8”
Town Affiliation- she lives in a small town just outside of Tre’yuu but spends most of her time in Tre’yuu doing her thing (see bio).
Organization- none
Bloodline Echo- ability to feel a person's death ( i.e. whenever she comes into contact with someone, no matter how familiar she is with them, she'll feel how they die. if it's a painful death they will suffer, she will feel the pain at the moment of introduction though the person does not die at the moment she feels it. ). To control herself from feeling extreme pain and the urge to stop the person’s death, she wears a gold cuff on her left upper ear which was given to her when she was younger by a mysterious unidentified woman who somehow knew of her Echo. Aieko's Echo has secrets of it's own that have yet to be uncovered.
Eyes- violet
Hair- black
Skin- standard human coloured ( will explain later)
Equipment- a small silver knife that she keeps hidden under her belt (placed horizontally) and is concealed by her shirt. She also excels in martial arts.
Appearance Description- waist-length black hair, tied behind the neck with a silver band, gold cuff of left ear; usually dresses in a long dark green shirt clipped with a silver belt and black pants with black buckled boots. ( I’ll upload a drawn pic when I get the chance….)
Biography- Aieko is extremely intelligent and fast though naïve at times. Her father used to tutor her though the numerous volumes collected in their home, but as soon as she learned how to read on her own, Aieko taught herself and was accepted into the Scholar Circle (an 8 member group devoted to enhancing their and the townspeople's minds, though Aieko does not personally believe in this philosophy.) at 17 as the youngest member. She uses her position as a scholar to educate the younger children of Tre’yuu and when she is not teaching, she can usually be found either helping her father in their pottery and painting shop or sitting in the woods meditating or reading. Her only friend is the human Tanrai, who is the Circle's Librarian's assisstant. She constantly wonders who exactly the woman who had given her the cuff was and how she knew about her Echo and how to stop it.

09-15-2003, 06:31 PM

Okey dokey, looks good, Kiyo-chan.

Mike, dude... okey- help me get this straight. When the Ruby pulls into the cavern dock, they see two ships. Those would be the one that didn't get burnt to crap and the *new* looking one, right? Just wanna make sure everything is golden, ya'.

And... everyone- The story is going great! Thanks for posting!

Also, concerning our characters' situation- perhaps Arkanis and Dimetricus n' crew'll end up helping out Gaise and Althea, eh?? ;)

:fft: Oh, and EDIT- another thing, Mike, :P. Think perhaps you could do that ol' switcheroo changy thingy to my name, and update it to a nice 'Sev' fer me? Thanks!

Mikeido

09-16-2003, 03:52 AM

Ahh, see I didn't want to make it confusing so there's a few specific lines in there that point one way or another. Since the small boat would be ahead of the Ruby Ring ship, but you posted having entered a dock with two ships and five bays in perfect condition, having already written where one goes up in flames thought it may be a problem lol. Fixed it all before posting though. The dock Althea and Gaise are in is further out, it's Vandros' personal dock, capable of holding three. The tall black ship is his personal craft, they may have seen it before, just never linked it to the Talon Ring. The other ship went back to inform him of things. The 'main dock' you'll have found was further away in the system of tunnels where all five could be put, where the remaining two known Talon ships would be as you said.

Could indeed have them all meet up. May have to wait till Kelli has a post in following up on Gaise's promise to tell her more about himself. Would have wrote it myself, but I know how impatient Kelli was gettin so thought it best to cut there.

I could change it maybe :P lol, if explorer dosen't kill the comp every time I open the admincp. Sooner I get the new comp the better, which should be soon.

Edit: I'll do that, and read kiyo-chan's post thisafternoon. Off to work with me now.

More editing goodness: Okay back. Sev, no :P lol, sorted. Takes a while longer for the topic user authors to change for some reason, but as the archives under author of Angel Della Notte will show, they will do.

An kiyo-chan, excellent first post. Interesting stuff indeed, glad to have you with us an don't think I'd need to tell you to keep a better eye on you're apps an all, but I have, lol. Just so you don't try to split time too hecticly, we're a patient lot if you've got busy things goin on, or we can always write up for you. S'all good, so no worries.

Darknight Z0

09-16-2003, 06:16 PM

Well Kiyo dear, figured we have ourselves an intriguing meeting dont you think.
Based off your echo work and such, i just worked it in that you didnt feel anything with T'sao. I dont want to say exactly like the woman from your past, but similar, and it would be rattling to you as your friend just had his death prophesized but here i am with no feeling. Drag me along or not, my guy will follow you around like a puppy to watch over you, though if you dont wish to directly use my character in your posts thats fine, but ill be in background, lol.

kiyo-chan

09-17-2003, 04:22 PM

holy dog...have you been reading my mind, dz0? i was honestly thinking about developing 2 lines:
1. aieko meets someone who's death she can't feel
2. she uses her heritage as a half-human, half-tireen to get along with a kunai and uses it to the benefits of something...i dunno that part yet.
but your post was really really scary....on my part, that is.

in any case, dz0....there were a few inaccuracies on my character's part , but i'll correct them in my next post. nothing too hard....
i'll probably IM you or something about the "puppy dog" part since i'm too impatient and rushed ( in terms of life that is) to wait for PMs. ::nods::

and mikeido, many thanks for concern. ^_^

Darknight Z0

09-17-2003, 07:54 PM

Well all the better then. Reading minds is my specialtys, lol.
Forgive any discrepencies, i was typing on a whim(my specialty), but i hope i didnt get your character too wrong. Correct in your post, i will edit in my own and then properly fix it later on. ^_^

Sev

09-17-2003, 08:30 PM

Reading minds is my specialtys, lol.
*hides*

I gotcha Mike, and thanks for the name change!
Looks like everyone is falling into place pretty well... but I wonder what'll happen between Marko and Gaise, :P.

Roku

09-17-2003, 09:45 PM

I might have Marko wait for Gaise in Glindayle, or I may head for Orchid.

Ill probably just leave Tock behind in Glindayle. I have a good idea for Marko, but he is going to have to leave.

crybaby1117

09-19-2003, 04:20 PM

ALSO! Crybaby, think maybe it'd be cool for your character to be so curious about Arkanis that you stow away on the Ruby Guild mainship, Ruby? I think we could work that in, and it'd be pretty interesting. Just another suggestion! :P

I hope it's not too late to work it in. I wrote something else but deleted it in the hopes that I could work that into my storyline. hehe. Let me know if it's possible. :)

kiyo-chan

09-20-2003, 12:24 AM

::spins happily and re-reads post::
hm....rather short this time. nevertheless, dz0's bad BAD mistakes ( just kidding...:: pokes dz0 :: no hard feelings....XD )have been corrected.
::goes into screensaver mode::

Sev

09-23-2003, 06:34 PM

^^ Everything is fitting in well, crybaby, thanks for posting.

Now... who's going to deal with the meeting of the characters? Marko, Gaise, Althea, Kira, Arkanis, and Dimetricus n' crew.

Sev

09-23-2003, 11:44 PM

Pardon the second post in a row, but I gotta get the eyes to shift here.

Lion Heart, the Talon Ring is very secretive, and they've got at least 2 ships in those caves than were known about... but I don't think they'd have 100 or 1000 peeps in their Ring. It'd be more like 40 at max. Being thirty-ish are left, lol. Somewhere lower like that, where it actually wouldn't be definite suicide, but it could be taken that way. Arkanis could just be a cautious or even paranoid guy, :P. Whatever ya want, just kinda making things all fit, ya know?

I've got an idea for Vandros though... I'm gonna hafta include it in my next post!!

crybaby1117

09-26-2003, 06:53 AM

Hehehe. Well, guess with that new information I'[ll have to edit some of my stuff. :p

kiyo-chan

09-27-2003, 11:19 PM

::giggles:: that was fun....

hehe...i'm ok. don't worry... :D

well...off to bed i go!

crybaby1117

09-28-2003, 03:31 PM

I don't know what is happening. heh. (oh man how do I word this?) I'm confused. What happened in Mikeido's post? I'm so confused now. heh. I mean, I KNOW that we (well, you guys) fought Vandros, but what happened at the end?

Mikeido

09-28-2003, 03:47 PM

Ah, so my headf**k avatar works lol. I was mostly just out to expand on Vandros' echo as described by Sev. The blade raises the tainted spirits from the dead (more later) which was self explanitory enough, mostly cause I thought a whole crew against one guy would be a bit boring aswell as unfair lol. The real power in the sword though and it's connection to Vandros' echo was that when stabbed into the back of the figurehead, it triggered the gateway to this other demon realm. Made some sense since the ship was called Midnight and the other realm Midnight planes if I remember.

Thought I'd leave it there an let others have fun with how it opened up. Dosen't have to be permenant however, quite to the contrary, as Sev said there was allot of space and demons of various loyalties in this other realm, so how long and what they effect there dosen't have tio be all too monumental.

crybaby1117

09-28-2003, 03:50 PM

<----still confused. heh. Sorry. I guess I'll let someone else post a reply to the storyline so maybe then I will know what is going on a bit better. heh. Since Kira was asleep through all of this, I guess she needs to be woken up and told what happened. heh. :p

Darknight Z0

09-28-2003, 04:51 PM

Im not even there, me and miss Aieko just had a bad run in at the library, you'll have to deal with the demons and such on your own, lol.
(maybe the book was really overdue?)

kiyo-chan

09-28-2003, 06:40 PM

ahahahaha...we're so alone, dz0. we'll have to think up some way to eventually bring t'sao and aieko over there...but for now, i'm enjoying all the flame and fury. XD

hehe...headline news: dark and evil library aides overreact to overdue book.
that'll be the day.... :rolleyes:

Mikeido

09-28-2003, 06:59 PM

lol, no worries I thought about the whole people being elsewhere thing and one idea that branched from it was them jumping back to this world sometime and somewhere else, say oh where T'sao and Aieko happen to be. Something you don't see everyday now, a black ship appearing out of nowhere in the middle of a street lol.

An crybaby, sounds fair, indeed she would be curious as to it all in character wise so s'all good.

crybaby1117

09-28-2003, 10:44 PM

P.S. I am very happy that Dimetricus didn't get killed. :p

Sev

09-29-2003, 12:29 AM

Hey, Mike... when you posted something about... "Unbidden, images rushed into and through my mind. A large green Kunai glaring down at a white stone as he ate by a roadside…a woman walking ahead of another kunai, tall and blue this time. Under her jet black hair upon her ear an interestingly unique single gold earring. Her striking violet eyes gave the silent kunai a single glance but said nothing…"

You mentioned a blue Kunai. I think you're referring to T'sao, but remember- he's white! :P

It's all great, guys! Very interesting idea for the ship.
And crybaby, we're not really supposed to kill each others' characters, see, so... yeah, I'm glad Dimetricus didn't die too, haha.

Mikeido

09-29-2003, 03:30 AM

No no I said white blue eyed kunai lol, honest. Ah well he was a faint blue in the pic which had stuck in memory, but s'all good now.

An yeah, I was quite pleased with that little Dimetricus scene indeed, thought it'd be a nice little momentary shock an all lol.

crybaby1117

10-03-2003, 10:27 AM

Where is everyone? Why is no one posting? I thought the story was just getting good, and now everyone stops? :( This makes me sad.

Mikeido

crybaby1117

10-03-2003, 02:20 PM

There's always an initial boom in posting then it cools off. Though I think my last post had something to do with it lol. An old analogy I noce heard was that rping is like dancing, we all take turns to lead, but aparently no one wants to try and lead on from what I started.

Well, I'm busy with a long overdue Kuroja post right now, but depending on what hour the unholy goat is sacrificed, I might see the end of a new AE post before the end of the weekend.

Oh. hehe. I see. Well, I WOULD take the lead and post a reply, but I don't know what's going on. lol. Besides, I was kinda trying to gove someone else a turn for a while. I know Sev hasn't been on lately to post, so I'm kinda waiting for him to kick it off again. hehe.

kiyo-chan

10-03-2003, 05:11 PM

on my part, i've been scrabbling my brain between college essays trying to figure out just how i'm trying to keep my side of the story from becoming a "read or die" scenario and how i'm going to explain everything i just threw into the fray...unless someone wants to suggest something lol.
if i have time, i'll post up something soon...hopefully.

Mikeido

10-03-2003, 07:16 PM

But Read Or Die is such fun lol, now I look at it I kinda see how it could easilly fall that way indeed, but no worries. An no rush either, like your mommy told you lol, college essays an such is something to worry about more. Sure there'll be something you'll come up with involving the book an people an much everything. Could even have a link to the ship or that other realm that our group seems hesitant to actually land in as of yet lol. After all I do remember using men in black robes that were asking questions about ships beforehand, an in the back of my mind I was building some sort of connection in the distance.

kiyo-chan

10-03-2003, 10:04 PM

ha! if i really wanted aieko to go all r.o.d, t'sao would probably equal nancy. oh...wouldn't dz0 just love to have those breasts...? :rolleyes:

did notice your men in black, mike, and now, i'm going to have to work off of that one too...

yes...and mother always knows best, doesn't he?

crybaby1117

10-05-2003, 07:12 PM

I hope my new addition to the storyline is good enough. I still didn't know where you guys wanted to take this, so I sorta improvised. I hope that's okay. If it isn't up to par, please let me know and I'll delete it.

Sev

10-05-2003, 11:17 PM

I've been away all weekend going to homecoming majiggers. I'm King at my school, woot. Then I went to my girlfriend's homecoming dance. Been a really full week! And now I've got a job that'll be starting up this week. But hopefully I'll be able to write sometime in there.

What it seems like is... The Midnight ship started to get teleported into the Midnight Planes by Vandros and then... suddenly he was gone and the aura about the ship was as well. Perhaps he removed the enchantment upon it? Or perhaps some other, maybe an ally, magically diverted the shift to a different plane at the cost of the ship's magic abilities. Huah.

Mikeido

10-06-2003, 03:52 AM

Well that really threw the entire purpose of my last post, continuity and perhaps my underlying plot development to the wind, or fish perhaps since it's on the sea. Of all the places it looked like it was headed, flashing back onto an open sea with no direction didn't seem like one of them. Still, guess it's my own fault for leaving it as is for others to lead, and expecting someone to have some confidence in creating something or somewhere that hasen't already been mapped. I would have posted again after I finish this Kuroja post that I've been putting off for too long now.

Nevermind, the idea of rping (at least here) is that we all play lead roles so it shouldn't entirely matter where others wanted to take it. Least that's most of our theories. Had you said that to Yunala (not here now but has a couple in archive) she'd have laughed to your face. lol, neither here nor there though I'm sure I'll figure out something or other equally as random to put it on something that resembles the track it was following. Much as it's about the character's having freedom of movement and idea, twists are best made with plausable reason. Last post may even help get there in some odd way. We don't reccomend people delete things around here, bad history with that lol.

kiyo-chan

10-06-2003, 11:38 AM

bad mike...shame on you...throwing everyone off like that lol.
just kidding of course.

in any case, i realize that i never posted the pic of aieko i drew when i first joined....i guess it's just for evaluation purposes now but <a href= "http://myimgs.com/data/katkiyo/178600.php">here</a> it is anyway. it's a tad anatomically mussed up ( gotta love the arm... :rolleyes: ) but eh. i can only do so much in my psych class w.o getting bored to death.

i have a post in the works...it'll be up sometime before the end of the day i hope.

Sev

10-06-2003, 02:31 PM

I'm sure this can work out just fine here, Mike, you Fsck Head, :P. Just let things happen. The thing is, working around other peoples' views and putting 'em all together, almost like making a compromise. Yeah, no worries. Plus, I was kinda wanting to write about the Midnight Planes, haha.

Kiyo, I hope your post has nothing to do with the characters involved in the Midnight Crisis, lol, cos' I'm gonna start writing one to get that all together.

kiyo-chan

10-06-2003, 03:02 PM

post posted.
wow...talk about redundancy lol.

nope, Sev, the post has nothing to do with the Midnight Crisis so write away...but good god, that's going to be one heckuva long post you're writing.... good luck ^_~

Sev

10-06-2003, 04:09 PM

Haha, nah, ^^. Actually, it's a shorter one, but it works good. There wasn't any really huge problem, don't think that. Crybaby has done a good job so far, and has contributed well to the current storyline! All is really cool, I like it a lot. Thanks everyone!

crybaby1117

10-06-2003, 05:44 PM

:( I'm sorry guys. I just didn't know where this whole thing was going. Maybe we really DID go to another plane, and we just don't realize it yet. I mean, the boat IS different. I was just bored with no one posting and decided to take it from there so maybe that would get others to post again. Sorry if I've ruined your storyline. Honestly I wasn't trying to. :(

Mikeido

10-06-2003, 06:06 PM

Ah no worries, it's on something that resembles a forward course now, go read new posts. Main thing I didn't really see in having it blip back to normality was where we could have gone from there. Althea an Gaise would have just gone home an that'd be it for example lol. Not that there'd be much wrong with that ^_-

An I'd best be careful since there was reason behind Vandros' last words in my last post, but looks like everyone might percieve it their own way an twist it somewhere else before I've got time to open my own plot twist lol.

crybaby1117

10-06-2003, 06:27 PM

An I'd best be careful since there was reason behind Vandros' last words in my last post, but looks like everyone might percieve it their own way an twist it somewhere else before I've got time to open my own plot twist lol.

Which is why I didn't touch that. I was sorta leaving that to the experts who knew what to do with it. heh. Sorry again.

Sev

10-06-2003, 10:23 PM

I was thinking his nephew was... Gaise..? Uh... haha. Well, Vandros is like 30-ish, right? Just LOOKS older. Maybe he's the uncle of... uhm...

Anyways! Crybaby, you didn't screw anything up. This sort of thing happens all the time, really. Something someone posts spoils another person's plans. Like my plan to make the Khajiim the spirits of people who used their Bloodline Echo too much and were consumed by that evil magic within... someone could go and post that the Khajiim are demons from another plane or something like that and mess that idea up. The fun and challenging part is overcoming the change in your plans and making, like I said, a compromise.

Like! Perhaps by me writing how old Vandros was, it screwed up Mike's idea of having him be someone's uncle! See, never know what you've done! That's the whole thing behind these online stories though- teamwork!!

And as Mike corrected me, he's a Head Fsck, not a Fsck Head. Sorry about that, :P.

crybaby1117

10-06-2003, 10:32 PM

Thanks. I feel better. :)

Mikeido

10-07-2003, 04:25 AM

Aah, now I remember what you mean by 30ish lol. Well before I forget, <a href=http://mywebpage.netscape.com/Mikeido%20San/rp/Vandros.jpg>yes</a> he does look older lol, general idea though I wrote description well enough. Is work-aroundable with all his dark prowess an such fun. An indeed when I'm not just out of bed an typing groggily lol, way it's gone dosen't seem as bad. As Sev said there's always this sort of thing where no one knows what anyone else is doing, just never seen something turn back on itself so fast lol. Shall post sooner other than later an explain pretty much everything that may should be since I got the Kuroja post up an I'm off to college today, ah computing fun.

An yeah, it's <a href=http://www.scifiuk.com/htmlsite/index.asp?sID=6>Headf**k</a>, the dog is watching you :dagger:

Masmune

10-07-2003, 02:00 PM

So, uh, Sev. What is the possibility of allowing one more player? Given I still have to read most of the story thus far, but I am having some ideas float through my head, and my other rpg I am currently playing is crawling along.

Sev

10-07-2003, 11:09 PM

Dude, Masmune, the possibility is... well, HELL! JOIN UP!
If you have ideas and you're interested, I'd be very happy to have you jump on board! It's always cool adding in new peeps later on- it's like the progression of a game... meeting new friends along the way. But anyways! Jump right on in, pal!

And I encourage anyone else that wants to join to do so!

Hey, Lion Heart- I was just wondering... was the vision of Arkanis as a younger boy just like a faded memory coming back into and playing itself out in Arkanis' mind? Because... The Midnight Planes are like in current time, and they exist in themselves. Lephintor was consumed by magic and put into the Midnight Planes, ya know. So it's like... maybe even his childhood or his youth may've been consumed by magic use. I dunno whatcha had planned, but it's like cool either way. Just as long as it works with the rules of the plane, ya know? Just wondering.

Third Edit of this post... :P :P
Below I'm going to write up general paths of each character... important events n' such.
----------------------------------

Dimetricus- Sailed to Orchid :: Met with Arkanis played by Lion Heart and got mission to retrieve Map of Ruins :: Arkanis joined up :: Introduce the boats and some crew of the Ruby Ring :: Sailed to Tiger River Waterfall :: Fought upon the seas, lost 1 ship :: Entered caves owned by the Talon Ring :: Met stowaway Kira played by crybaby117 :: Adventuring party entered caves on foot :: Freed Marko (Roku), Althea (Kaitou), and Gaise (Mikeido) from the clutches of Vandros, pirate lord of the Talon Ring :: Fought way out of caves, onto The Midnight, a spectacular, mysterious ship :: Escaped the caves on ship, talked to undead head, Edgy :: Fought Vandros upon deck of The Midnight :: Warped by Vandros to the Midnight Planes :: Dimetricus, Graver, Edgy, Arkanis, Kira, Gaise, Althea, and Marko now are aboard The Midnight :: Find small island, Lephintor, consumed by magic many years ago...

Arkanis- Met with Dimetricus :: Sailed off with the Ruby Ring :: Events follow same course along with Dimetricus, as they've been together since the beginning...

Marko-

Gaise- Started with visions of destruction in his echo, then a vision of warmth (borderline erotic so I'm told lol)alongise a stanger that was apparently then familiar. Met "just information gatherers" at the dock in small ship, curious but apparently harmless. Met Althea in precarious situation and having dealt with it perswaded her to lodge at his house if she wanted to get anywhere in the town. It was better than a hotel after all. Took Althea out to the springs in the morning and saw on sea below the Talon / Ruby Ring attack. Followed down and into the Talon Ring caves. Burnt one ship before Althea was taken off guard and forced to surrender to Vandros Erland - the Talon Ring shipmaster. Retaliated and got shot in his left arm. After recovering from the bloodloss, had the cast moved to behind his back so use of his sabre with the right wouldn't be affected. Grouped together with the unlikely suspects and left on ship soon after known as The Midnight. Still waiting for a quiet moment with Althea, isn't optimistic given current other realm situation lol.

Althea-

Kira- Travelled to Orchid :: Stowed away upon the Ruby, flagship of the Ruby Ring :: Events follow same course along with Dimetricus...

Lerin-

Rosch-

Karen-

Aieko-

T'sao T'sao- Left his normal routine of night watchmen, and pottery student to watch over a friends daughter on a whim. He has been dealing with a growing feeling of dread and unease. Fears turned out when T'sao met up with Aieko and escorted her to the library. An attack by a mysterious group singed him slightly, and left one of Aieko's friends dead. He had to pull out a large polearm he was carrying and apoligized when putting it away, though this time he did not wrap it like he had before. Is currently running from the Library with Aieko in his arms(assumedly to her fathers house, but we'll see where Aieko takes it, or Kiyo-chan more precisely).

Alright everyone! Here's where I ask you to help me. I want everyone to fill in the above blanks- PM me or something the summary of your character's events, just as I did with Dimetricus. I've been doing this for a while, and it's late. I'm going to try to scrape more together, but it'll get done sooner if everyone can do their own character. I wanna do this for anyone to look back on if they need a reference and also for those people just joining. It's kinda like a storyboard- shows the flow of the storyline. Thanks everyone!

Blah, sorry Sev, I misunderstood, sorry. I was kinda thinking Vandros sent them back in time or something. I'll fix it ASAP :/

Sev

10-07-2003, 11:58 PM

Ah, it's cool, dude, ^^. We'll get it all good one way or another. I can see how that would've thrown you off, lol. Yeah, though, I'm glad we're all on the same page now. I kinda needed to clear it up like that. Sorry about that!

And... just wondering, Lion Heart- do you choose not to use a sig n' avi? Or... do ya not got one or do you not have space to upload one to?

ALSO! Everyone look back a page- I posted up some news n' updates I want everyone to see. 'Course, as I update the STUFF I'll hafta move it to the latest page or something every now and then, or else we could all become accustomed to that information being on page 6. Whateva! Thanks again!

Added mine, hence the Last edited by: Mikeido thingy under the aforementioned Sev postlet. If Kelli dosen't beat me too it, as she can edit any post too, I could write up the bits I didn't include in Gaise's side for Althea sometime thisafternoon. Pretty much so there'd be something to say since they've been clsoe from the start.

Sev

10-08-2003, 10:40 PM

Awright, sounds good Mike, hah. Thanks DZO, for PMing me the stuff! I'm updating it here, onto the newest page for all to see.
------------------

Dimetricus- Sailed to Orchid :: Met with Arkanis played by Lion Heart and got mission to retrieve Map of Ruins :: Arkanis joined up :: Introduce the boats and some crew of the Ruby Ring :: Sailed to Tiger River Waterfall :: Fought upon the seas, lost 1 ship :: Entered caves owned by the Talon Ring :: Met stowaway Kira played by crybaby117 :: Adventuring party entered caves on foot :: Freed Marko (Roku), Althea (Kaitou), and Gaise (Mikeido) from the clutches of Vandros, pirate lord of the Talon Ring :: Fought way out of caves, onto The Midnight, a spectacular, mysterious ship :: Escaped the caves on ship, talked to undead head, Edgy :: Fought Vandros upon deck of The Midnight :: Warped by Vandros to the Midnight Planes :: Dimetricus, Graver, Edgy, Arkanis, Kira, Gaise, Althea, and Marko now are aboard The Midnight :: Find small island, Lephintor, consumed by magic many years ago...

Arkanis- Met with Dimetricus :: Sailed off with the Ruby Ring :: Events follow same course along with Dimetricus, as they've been together since the beginning...

Marko-

Gaise- Started with visions of destruction in his echo, then a vision of warmth (borderline erotic so I'm told lol)alongise a stanger that was apparently then familiar. Met "just information gatherers" at the dock in small ship, curious but apparently harmless. Met Althea in precarious situation and having dealt with it perswaded her to lodge at his house if she wanted to get anywhere in the town. It was better than a hotel after all. Took Althea out to the springs in the morning and saw on sea below the Talon / Ruby Ring attack. Followed down and into the Talon Ring caves. Burnt one ship before Althea was taken off guard and forced to surrender to Vandros Erland - the Talon Ring shipmaster. Retaliated and got shot in his left arm. After recovering from the bloodloss, had the cast moved to behind his back so use of his sabre with the right wouldn't be affected. Grouped together with the unlikely suspects and left on ship soon after known as The Midnight. Still waiting for a quiet moment with Althea, isn't optimistic given current other realm situation lol.

Althea- Sick of death that the strange plauge caused on her home village packed her things, boarded up her house and left. Arrived in Glindayle and trusted the first decent looking stranger to help her with her things. Found him to be less than decent and after meeting Gaise proceeded to beat the accomplice into the ground. Agreed to lodge with Gaise for better prospects than a hotel. Had breakfast in the morning ending in a lov- eh room mates tiff over her cute pajamas. Got dressed and went to springs for a bath before looking for work, got to know each other better. Gaise suprised her by hiring her into the dock patrol. Ran down mountainside with Gaise and follwed ship. Then as above.

Kira- Travelled to Orchid :: Stowed away upon the Ruby, flagship of the Ruby Ring :: Events follow same course along with Dimetricus...

Lerin-

Rosch- Helped dig out tunnels in Gashclimb as part of team Rock :: Heard whispers within the caves :: confronted by Chief of Kunai :: Sent on mission with magical crystal to Orchid...

Karen-

Aieko-

T'sao- Left his normal routine of night watchmen, and pottery student to watch over a friends daughter on a whim. He has been dealing with a growing feeling of dread and unease. Fears turned out when T'sao met up with Aieko and escorted her to the library. An attack by a mysterious group singed him slightly, and left one of Aieko's friends dead. He had to pull out a large polearm he was carrying and apoligized when putting it away, though this time he did not wrap it like he had before.

Sorry about not bein around.... other than being real busy, my internet connection went kapput. :/ I gotta catch up!
There isn't much to say about my dude. He hasen't done much; left Leili with the Chief's wishes and a big stone. Not real exciting yet, hopefully I can whip up a post soon that will jazz it up a little.
I'm so bad at doing things... :(

Mikeido

10-09-2003, 04:00 AM

Ah no worries Arvis, can't help the internet conncetion dissapearing for one. An I'd say yours has been good so far, it's a more subtle progression, makes it all the more interesting.

Only got bout 10 min before I'm gone again (so busy lol) so I'll see if I can't fill Althea's plot summary bit.

Huzzah an 2 minutes spare lol. So I can put my shoes on too, oooh. Saw your post Lion Heart (one o the fun things abuot this new un-permenant delete) an it wasn't too bad. Sure the place was apparently lost ages ago possibly before all our births, but seeming as Arkanis was partially consumed by magic, would make sense for some sort of phantom of his childhood to reside there. I could restore it if you wanted, was good post overall.

i was really hoping we didn't have to come down to what sev posted earlier lol. but eh...such is life...

i'm currecntly in class now so whenever i get the chance i'll be editing this post to add in what Aieko's been doing though it's not much more than what Dz0 wrote under T'sao...just add the fact that she's gotten into some rather bizarrre situations for one day (i.e. not being able to feel T'sao's death and the library incident etcetc....)

Sev

10-10-2003, 12:10 AM

Whatcha mean about 'what Sev posted earlier'? :P
I'm confused!

Yeah, Lion Heart, it was a good post, and we could totally pass it off as either a piece of him or a flashback- whichever you prefer.

Is anyone planning on taking on the nest post or anything? Uhhh, heh. :P

Mikeido

10-10-2003, 03:44 AM

She's on about the whole summary of our characters paths so far thing. "Bit depressing that it had to all be explained bit by bit to us in the ooc thread" was more or less what she told me. Took it as patronising I guess, as indeed we should be able to remember the plot line of a single rp.

But such is life lol. Well it's friday so I'll have more chance of figuring that post out at work during the meeting I'll try not to fall asleep in lol, an see what I can do later.

Lion Heart

10-10-2003, 03:44 PM

10-10-2003, 03:48 PM

oh i'm going to hurt you for freezing my pants in grish's intro thread, mike....*unfreezes her pants*

well i searched the whole site trying to find a place where i could make a constructive post out of my 500th ( oh my...i've reached 500 already...this is bad...*dies*) and found only here....i love you guys lol.

sorry if i offended you,sev...no hard feelings *pokes sev* it was just kinda funny and yet sad that mike screwed us all over so nicely... i coudl almost swear he's becoming his avatar...no hard feelings, of course, mike *pokes mike*

after SATs (which is tomorrow....i promise i'm going to study as soon as i leave here...so nervous...*dies*), i'll have MUCH more time (yay! finished 1 application already! whee!) and will definitely drag Aieko out of depression and back into action...dz0's currently away so i can't pry his head and see if he's got anything planned, but not to fear...

oh i'm so glad mike's post didnt' affect me TOO much...

Mikeido

10-10-2003, 04:17 PM

No worries Lion Heart, restored it be, under Bard Song and above Kuroja, down there somewhere.

*Squeeks an grins* and we love you too Kiyo-chan. Good luck with your SAT's, you'll do great I'm sure. Of course I'm becoming my avatar, tis supposed to be a representative of self. You've just never seen me rp before :dagger:. An bah I didn't screw anyone over lol, is called a plot twist. Though it is one of my more gloriously headf**ked ones, and I did leave it shorter than I could have done just so others could interact with the new turn, sorta challenge people in a sense. Could have made it longer, described the land and everythig that they would come to, which funnily enough was entirely different to the one that was done but there we go lol, it's still got a place in my mind, and it's all good an fun how it's played out so far. Best part is it's only just begun. Which reminds me, Headf**k's on tonight, huzzah.

Give it time Kiyo, give it time ^_-

Sev

10-11-2003, 01:50 AM

Still confused, but hey!
I thought actually that we should put down character plot summaries for... multiple reasons: to encourage new people to join, to help us remember, and also to see who's still with us.

Kiyo, I'm glad your 500th post graced my lil' OOC , ;).
Is people angry about Mike's plot twist? Huah? I don't see it as him screwing anyone over, lol. This is how the stories go... right? Uhm... yeah, like I said: confused!

crybaby1117

10-11-2003, 06:40 AM

The other boy scurried after him, waving and shouting, “Wait! Stop! Don’t go! Arkanis! Stop!”

Holy Shit! Now THATS a plot twist I didn't see coming. hehe.

Lion Heart

10-11-2003, 11:04 AM

^Um, would you guys think it'd be more clear if I edited and added on to my post? I've got an idea of what to write if I need to.

Mikeido

10-11-2003, 01:20 PM

Nah it's fine. I'm half writing a post half playing Halo (PC version of course) so when I can gather all my thoughts I'll see what I can do. I elaborated on the appearance of Arkanis as a child a bit so far though so no worries.

kiyo-chan

10-11-2003, 02:06 PM

ahaha....*pokes sev again*
i am kinda glad the chara post was added though...now i can tell the difference between arkanis and dimetricus...must be a dyslexic thing heh.

SATs are over! yay! now for more applications! whee! *dies*

EDIT: see, sev? it's fixed. now i can go to sleep happily....

Sev

10-11-2003, 09:48 PM

Arkanis and Dimetricus? *sweat-drop* Eh-heh... oh my, :P.
I suppose I can understand that. Arkanis and Dimetricus have been together pretty much the entire time anyhow!

So... whoever is gonna post next, it'd be cool. Mike is going for the elaboration on Arkanis' sight, however that is gonna be. So, nah, Lion Heart, you ain't needing to edit it like that! It's good!

That'd be Kaitou / Althea. Last post confuzzled her slightly an she couldn't really reply to it. This one I'm making sure it even ends with them in a quiet spot, though you wouldn't think so till the last. What makes it so good. Mmm headf**kery.

10-12-2003, 08:43 PM

Well hey everyone! I'm working on a post right now... it's going to be about Graver and Dimetricus- they're wandering off on their own within this great tower. So... yeah! I'm not sure of what all I'm going to include yet, but it should be up soon.

crybaby1117

10-12-2003, 09:13 PM

How soon is soon? heh.

Can I reveal a secret? It felt good to be in Dimetricus' arms for that fleeting moment. lol. *blushing*

EDIT: Man, Sev's signature picture is damn cool. Wish I could do something like that. heh. I just never had the talent for graphics.

10-12-2003, 11:56 PM

Hey, Mikeido, uhm... about the chick yer guy recognized- is she like... his mom? 'Cause if she was, then she'd have the ability to warp in and out of the Midnight Plane.

Crybaby- I'm posting it up tonight! And thanks about my sig. I posted up a whole thread about my sigs and avis in the graphics forum. Check it out! And really, if you gave me some ideas- if anyone did- and ya wanted me to make one, I could possibly get in the time to and do so.

Mikeido

10-13-2003, 01:31 PM

Gaise's mother was murdered when he was three lol. I even accused Vandros of fratricde (someone who has killed a brother or sister, fun word though) so no, it couldn't well have been her. See how you could make the connection though, since he was musing about things such as Orchid, but no that was because one of his fleeting memories of Orchid was the death of his mother and wounded father. Why he's always felt at peace on the open sea was because when Gaise and his father left, his mourning was distracted by everything that was the open sea. All of which said in the profile.

As DZ0 once quoted the infamous detective in black; "If being a detective was easy, everyone would do it" lol. So in other words if you don't know who it is, you're not supposed too.

Since we're on the side note of Sev's sig, am I honestly the only one that thinks it's blurred to hell? lol, I can read "You are just a puppet... Y... a puppet?" an the rest I have to seriously glare at. Previous Outlaw Star one was fun.

Darknight Z0

10-13-2003, 01:43 PM

you have no heart and cannot feel pain it says.

and once, twice, heck "live my daily life by" same thing. ^_-

Though i have a hint, but i wont say. Side's he may change his mind or turn it around, look at Mike's ava.
(that dog is just not healthy im telling ya)

Sev

10-13-2003, 11:37 PM

I just didn't want to screw anything up. I thought it might also have been his lost love. But hey! I'm not sure. Didn't want to fsck it all up for ya, :P. I did see some possible ideas coming to surface if it were his mother, but I'm glad it isn't. Now our stranded team must contact another person who can traverse the Midnight Planes.

And about my sig- The land in the background is blurry, yeah... but I thought the words were pretty clean and clear, :P.

In red:
"You are just a puppet...
You have no heart...
and cannot feel any pain..."

And then in blue: "I'm... a puppet..?"

Perhaps I can make it a little more bold or something. Use a wider font maybe.

Darknight Z0

10-14-2003, 12:48 AM

hmmm midnight planes...contacting...idea forming...post more later.

And it should work in well with what Kiyo has so far as well...

Mikeido

10-14-2003, 03:44 AM

I could say perhaps it's my monitor (15inch tft flatscreen) but nah I've got the phaze down nicely an it makes all else look sharp. Though at first it was an entirely different look to everything lol, that's all sorted. I tend to put borders around text if it's unreadable. Drop shadow distance 1 intensity high and 100% opacity more or less does it, haven't played with Photoshop out of work much lately so not sure if it'd work or what. Is no too bad, can mostly see it if I squint.

Oooh, DZ0 brainstorming lol, fun. Well I'll be off to get some breakfast, read our kiyo-chan's post, then off to college with me since it's tuesday. An a good post it is indeed.

Ya know I sent Kristin the rp posts by email last night (since she's in tech now there's more chance of being able to get to a comp an print them off, cheaper an quicker all round lol) an I only sent one post from Bard Song, LoL and Kuroja, but some 4 email's worth from this one. Shame the others can't be quite as active *nudge wink wink nudge* lol.

lol well yeah you too, Bard certainly has your name up for it next. Was thinking everyone else that's only in this one aswell though. *Nudges kiyo-chan* ^_- *nudges Kelli in general direction of this thread* lol no rush, but certainly more quiet than the last post ending. Ignore the fact that the last ended with time itself having felt to have stopped and everyone in mute silence lol, not what I mean.

Sev

10-14-2003, 11:36 PM

I feel very honored that this RP is so active, and I hope it continues to be so! I love how it's all going, and I'm thinking you all do, too!

Mike, hey, I changed my sig a little bit, lol. I think it'd be easier to read now. Not only that, but before the text was just like... there. Stranded. I like it better now, :).

10-15-2003, 10:06 PM

heh, The story is still in a position where I don't wanna mess with it. heh. I guess I've been scared off from taking on such a task as taking the group farther in the story.

EDIT: Also, Lion Heart, I was thinking that the reason Kira is so interested in Arkanis is because Arkanis knew her father or knows who killed her father. Any thoughts?

I'm not quite sure if I know how I want to bring it all out. I just wrote an e-mail to Sev about another part that I was hoping would get wrote into it, if that works out, then I think I can work this into that. heh. Did that make any sense?

10-17-2003, 08:31 PM

i'm officially taking a break after two consecutive REALLY bloody long posts so that dz0 can throw around the charas a bit since he's outta town and all and let him catch up a bit...i think he had something he was going to post a while back*nods*

somehow i think i'm throwing a little too much into the aieko's plotline ( this is mike's cue to say " ah, no worries"...)
but now i'm wondering how to stash this all in...the whole death/missing death/book chasing/mystery woman-person/no falling in love or somehow stopping the line thing/finding some way to contact the rest of you poor souls and everything else in between....ah. i certainly have cut my work out for meself hehehe. *goes off to brainstorm*

So im back again and this RPG will be the first victim of my dreadfully long posts. god save all your souls. if it's absolutly demanded i can post a summery here in the OOC after my posts but i'm not of a compromising spirit when it comes to the writing of the actual post. if the common consensus is that im unwelcome then i understand that. you can all decide amongst yourselves and ill check back in a while.

Mikeido

10-21-2003, 01:52 PM

Kristin may not be here at this time, but the common consensus will always be the longer the better. After all reading's the better part of what we're here for, so don't think that writing more should be taken as a bad thing. So long as grammer an spelling is fine, which from you I could trust would be, (we've had one post that was some 100k, took about 3 month to write and was basically unreadable) then there's no problem.

I wouldn't recomend the whole post summary thing either, but that's just me in all my like to read rp postage ways.

Also quick note to everyone, check the bottom of page 3, or just <a href=http://www.avalancheonline.com/forums/showpost.php?p=171303&postcount=45>here</a> if it's easier, as Fluff posted a good indeed post, which was then hidden at the bottom of page 3, along with the ooc note of it having been done buried under the page before this one lol. So just so we know, it's there. An no worries Fluff it was all pretty good. Discreet enough where it needed to be an all.

Appearance Description – Preferring to remain unseen Sareth conceals himself in a cloak that blends perfectly with the dismal scenery of the midnight plane.

Biography – Sareth was a renowned sorcerer amongst the elves before the shifting of the continent. After the shifting Sareth became obsessed with overcoming the magical consuming properties of the midnight plane. Spell after spell left his fingers only to be drained away by the air around it. Sareth’s pride would not be defeated by the place and he continued to cast calling upon spells he had not used in centuries to find a hole in the plane’s magical defense. However the casting began to take its toll on Sareth’s body. His fair elven skin began to darken to the hue of the evil native creatures of the Midnight plane. Assuming the end result and the folly of continuing casting Sareth finally stopped. Seeing the results of his spells, and fearing that Sareth had already lost his soul to the Midnight Plane the Elves exiled him from their kingdom.

Finding refuge in the wild of the Midnight plane Sareth learned to survive. As time went on he adopted the tactics and the skills of the predators of his new surroundings. Adjusting his studies to the pratice of steel Sareth mastered the skills of his weapon of choice, the Katana which he crafted from the bones of a great Khajiim that had been slain by a group of minor Khajiim.

Surviving for some time by avoiding the Khajiim and hunting small game Sareth carved out a piece of the Midnight plane and claimed it as his own. Then on one fateful day there came those from Sareth’s former realm, those who could apperantly travel between worlds at will. With they’re power they subverted many of the monsters of the midnight plane. These mages decimated the elven cities, leaving only small groups left to spend their lives hiding and surviving as best they could. Finally one day an attack was made into the lands that Sareth had claimed as his own. Through the many strategies he had adopted through the years Sareth made quick work of the khajiim. Then he proceeded to stalk the cloaked mage who had obviously coordinated the attack. Making a stealthy advancement on the leader Sareth ran it through without hesitation.

as the Mage fell it turned, the cloak that covered it’s head fell away revealing the face of a beautiful human woman. Tears dripped from her eyes and as she fell she reached out and placed a single hand on Sareth’s cheek. Abhorred by what he had done and sure that her presence here was but a coincidence Sareth treated the wound. Over many weeks Sareth nursed her back to health. Finally the time came when She was able to speak. She confided to Sareth that she was the one who had coordinated the attack, she was indeed with the other dark mages who had come to this world. In the moment Sareth considered finishing what he had begun but hesitated. She continued her story telling of her brothers who had taken prisoner Elves and threatened to enact torture upon them that no words could accurately describe if she did not kill him.

Apparently it had become known that Sareth was the lone survivor of his people. While other nations of Elves had survived his clan had been exterminated in the opening skirmishes that had erupted upon the arrival of the Midnight Walkers. Never ones to be labeled inefficient the Midnight Walkers had thought to send their youngest and weakest sibling Celestia, whom they considered weak and over-emotional. For Celestia had no interest in the domination of the Midnight Plane or in the eradication of the Elves from it. However Celestia was willing to trade the life of one elf to save the lives of many more. So she had come to kill Sareth and save the elves held prisoner.

Sareth and Celestia decided that they would join together and free the captured elves. Celestia used her bloodline to walk them to the fortress where the prisoners were being held. However unknown to both of them Metatron, the eldest of the Midnight Walkers had overseen the entire encounter and had set an ambush for the two would be rescuers. When the duo emerged into the fortress they were attacked and with what little time there was left Celestia used her bloodline to simply push Sareth to another area of the Midnight Plane.

The events became known to the elven people by means of the single elf that was set free from those who had been initially captured. This elf reported to his people the gruesome means by which his comrades had been executed and also delived the message that the Elves were to find Sareth and tell him that if he wanted Celestia back he could come and get her. Sareth does not yet know what has become of Celestia for after his emergence into the Midnight Plane he has spent his time on the move. Making it difficult for him to be found by either elves or the servants of Metatron and the rest of the Midnight Walkers.

I should say for the sake of fore-planning that Sev and i talked and decided on a good way to get the party out of the Midnight Plane. So for that post i'll assume the Role of San-Meo and guide the party to where Sareth is hiding.

EDIT
I've changed the means through which Sareth obtained the Khajiim bones to make his Katana. Though i don't even think anyone's saw it before since i posted it at 4am eastern.

An Fluff's profile is on the second page http://www.avalancheonline.com/forums/showpost.php?p=163535&postcount=24 I'd have slapped him if he'd posted before making a character profile, but he knows better than that :dagger:.

Duh. hehe. Stupid blonde me didn't think he had posted one yet. Thanks. :p

crybaby, if you would like me to change my post in anyway, please let me know. I kinda introduced Kira's father in a strange way.

hehe. Thanks for making my old man stinky and crazy. ;) But seriously, I think you did a great job! Now we just have to figure out how he got there in the first place, and how he was killed. hehe.

Time stamp says 8:38am gmt, an yeah I saw and frantically grabbed it to put on disc. Subsequentially I've already air-mailed (£8 something in total lol, air-mail's expensive, fast though so she'll get everything sooner rather then later which is what matters) the unedited version off to Kristin lol. Ah well, no real big world altering difference. Think all my crazy ide3as are coming together though, an about time lol, so I'll see what i can do for getting a post up an making sure I waltz it in such a way as to not step on anyones feet.

Duh. hehe. Stupid blonde me didn't think he had posted one yet. Thanks.

Hehe no worries, I had to at least glance over the profile again to get the feel for everything since it's been such a wait. Worth the wait at least.

So bring on the angery mob to boo my post. I'm a bit rusty, haven't written much since the last RPG i did and whenever that was it seems like forever ago. So for whatever can be said about this one the next one will be better...

Back from the dead! :p Finally posted, and about time too.
I'm kinda lost on what the midnight planes are now... heh.

10-24-2003, 11:09 PM

So i assume that the concept of Kira's father is going to be explored and i'll wait to make my next post until after that is done. Is there anything else anyone had planned while still inside the Midnight Plane or can i steer the party towards meeting Sareth next?

crybaby1117

10-25-2003, 06:34 AM

I'm sure that Kira's fathers story will gradually be brought out. I think this was just an introduction. I dunno. I'll have to wait to talk to Lion Heart. I wanna get some ideas before I go IMing him to death. hehe.

Void

10-25-2003, 04:22 PM

So am i to assume then you don't mind if i starts (or if somone else wants to do it that's fine) the party on the path towards exiting the Midnight Plane? If somone else wants to head in the direction of leaving then can just e-mail or IM me and i'll give you the way i was going to go ahead with it. if not then i'll go ahead and do it through San-Meo in a few days.

Mikeido

10-25-2003, 06:10 PM

I have a postlet in the works, may move someone somewhere but I'll make sure it dosen't interfere with any other under running plans. Least I wouldn't think so. Will say in brief Althea and Gaise might not be travelling with the others at this moment. I'll try to get it up and space things enough for it to not be too ground shiftingly affecting the others and what plans they may have.

So far all good though. Was wondering where you'd gotten to Arvis :dagger: good to see your still here, s'all quite interesting. Now all that's left is to try an put this linking a circle moment I have in my head on paper.

crybaby1117

10-26-2003, 03:14 PM

Lets not move the group out of the area for right now. I want to make a new post about Kira and her father, but I was hoping Sev would come on and post as well. I have some ideas that might move us out of the building but not out of the planes just yet. If Sev doesn't post by later on tonight I'll go ahead and start things back with Kira's father. That is, of course, if it's allright with you guys.

Sev

10-26-2003, 04:32 PM

Yeah, so... I ain't read all the new IC stuff yet. It's been a while since I've been able to check this stuff. But what I think we're gonna be needin' to be doing is... post up the storyline pertaining to Kira and then slowly move on to leaving the Midnight Plane. It sounds like Gaise and Althea won't be going along with the group... which is odd. Uhm, I think I just need to read the IC! So I'll edit this once I'm done. Don't know if I'll be able to post anything up tonight. We'll see!

crybaby1117

10-26-2003, 04:59 PM

Didn't mean to make you feel rushed. I actually meant if you didn't come online by tonight I was gonna go ahead and post. Anywho, here is what I was thinking for Kira and her dad. I was thinking that Kira's father was just an illusion created by Vandros, and I was going to elaborate on it more with Kira following him and such. But, if you don't like that idea or whatever let me know and I can take it anywhere you want to. :)

Sev

10-26-2003, 06:16 PM

Sort things out with Kira and her father, THEN I'll go ahead and post! Okey?

Edit- I've read the new IC posts, and I'm ready to go. I think I've got a stable connection for the time being. Void, I can only get on MSN Messanger here though, so if you wanna chat, we'll talk about that later. Good first post though! It's all gonna be coming together well!

crybaby1117

10-26-2003, 06:40 PM

Okay. I submitted my reply. I hope it's okay. I think now we can leave the planes.

Sev

10-26-2003, 11:25 PM

Yep! It was good!
I'm going to be posting mine up soon, like tonight I hope. I'm working on it now, on the other computer. I've got like two pages on it. Hoping for a little more before I post it up though, so we'll see!

Edit- Okey, I'm all posted up. Mike, I didn't do anything with your peeps and The Midnight ship is still there. So I hope all goes well for you and your post.
Note: I am planning on making a map of the lands within the Midnight Planes. Working on it now!

10-27-2003, 03:54 AM

Cool stuff, an that works really well, won't have to worry about anyone being there when...eh I do what I've got planned, lol. I'm off to work in a couple minutes but I've got ideas, and that's added to them so I'll at least be frantically hacking away at a post tonight. Unifying feudal japan will have to wait lol. Also I'll check when I get back but Arkanis is still at the fire shrine right? Can write either way an I'll check more specifically but is an interesting point.

So I checked an figured it all out. Being quite riskey with this post, but I have a cover. Also haven't finished it yet I know, but I've figured out all the hard / crazy stuff so it's now just making everything else fall into place. Like a nice game o' Tetris or something. Right now though I think I'd be best off getting some sleep since I have work in the morning. If we're lucky I'll sleep well, get up early an finish the post. Big if but it's a possible. Then there's the whole deal of spellcheck an proofreading lol, we'll see.

Sev

10-27-2003, 11:56 PM

Awright! Hella-great post, Void.
I've got some ideas to talk with you about.
School is a half day tomorrow, so if you can call me, do it between 1 pm and 3. Aight? Word up.

Hell yeah, please show gratitude for the work and vote this story a 5-star!!
I hope... uh, that ya'll like it...

It's 1am, I worked all day, and Void ain't contacted me like he was SUPPOSED to. So I'm going to sleep! Hope everyone keeps posting in the story!

Crybaby, was everything okey dokey in my post? I thought it was pretty good. When ya think you'll post next? Tell me if you have any ideas!

Now, I've only read about half of your new post Sev, and allready I am VERY pleased. heh. You did a great job. Anywho, I'll edit this after I'm done reading ALL the new posts. :)

edit: Mmtay, I've read all the postings. Great job guys. So real I can see it in my head like a movie. :) Anywho, a question for Fluff before I make my next post, the Kunai you were running across at the end of your post, is that Graver? I just wanna know before I make my post. That way the story can go in the right direction. ;)

Another Edit: Ugh, got too many ideas running through my mind to NOT post. I'm just going to assume that the Kunai you spotted IS Graver and I'm gonna run with it. Mtay? hehe.

yet again, another edit: Well, I posted. I hope it's up to par. :)

Fluff

10-30-2003, 09:48 AM

ummm ... that was Rosch, we're gonna dig up some things for the orb. :dagger: sorry if that might ruin some of the things you got lined up.

EDIT: Interesting happenings though I've yet to read all your guys posts fully. :p

Sev

10-30-2003, 12:30 PM

Remember, Graver is the Blue Kunai with Dragon-features (which include leathery wings!) while Rosch is the large Green Kunai walking from the mountain of Gashclimb to Orchid. Abel is going from Orchid, and met Rosch upon the road.

Everyone who is involved in the confusion, just hold tight and we'll see what crybaby is gonna do!

EDIT: Sorry guys, I hope this is a bit better. :/

Edit again: Hey guys. I have an idea for the next post. Since we are now in Oriax, why not bring San-Meo back into the picture? heh. yeah I know, all my great ideas come to me when I mess everything up. heh.

Name- Celestia
Race- human
Gender- female
Age- 31
Weight- 135
Height- 5'7
Town Affiliation- none
Organization- Midnight Walker
Bloodline Echo- none
Eyes- jade green
Hair- black, worn loose just past her shoulders
Skin- pale skin tone peach
Equipment- form fitting leather cuirass, skin tight leather pants, usually wears a black cloak over it all.
Appearance Description - for spending so little time on grooming Celestia always emanates an aura of beauty and elegance. Aside from her striking beauty she possess no real extraordinary feature except for her eyes. The intensity of their green gives her a look that pierces the soul.
Biography - Celestia was among the heartless killers dubbed Midnight Walkers for the majority of her life being the youngest of the siblings born the day Mikaia was drawn into the Midnight Planes. She was forced to work alongside her brothers from the day they discovered their unique gift. With them she brought death and destruction to many places throughout both the Midnight Plane and Dagger Tooth.

Upon meeting Sareth Celestia felt the resentment she felt for her brothers truly take shape. She admired Sareth for he had lived his entire life according to his own principles and had always fought for what he believed in. She knew that if she stayed with Sareth she too could become a stronger person. As time went on she slowly began to develop deep feelings for Sareth, however knowing what kind of person he was and being only to guess at the hardships he’d faced in his life Celestia never told him the way she felt.

May want to hold that thought. Since he was headed back to where we used to be (Fire Shrine an such) there's still space for him to un into Arkanis or Marko solong as either are still with us. More sure that Lion Heart is still in here somewhere, but just since somewhere in my last post he ran ahead to find the others while Althea fought off the Ferai, then the two of them could find each other half way then head back to your end. Not that it needs speeding up but if you wanted you could have the both of them appear down your end which would lock that loose end up nicely.

Could do up a Vandros profile but that'd go spoiling the mysterious nature of it all lol. Will re-link the image incase anyone that needs to know can't remember. <a href=http://mywebpage.netscape.com/Mikeido%20San/rp/Vandros.jpg>Imagery goodness.</a> Usually a case of if you don't know you're not supposed too with me. That or I've been too subtle with something lol.

Yeah, that would work. I was sorta hoping that Arkanis would find his way back to the group, but upon reflection I feel that He wouldn't get anywhere without any help. heh. Magical help and all. So, yeah, we could make that work. It's up to Lion Heart to tell us what he wants or even to write it in, himself. :)

10-31-2003, 03:03 PM

I just posted up a new one. It's pretty... mega! WOOT! Hope ya'll like it. But I was skimming through the old story posts, and I found that in the beginning of one of mine, while our characters were in the Midnight Planes, Dimetricus used healing magic to help Kira.

Note: I am a moron and had Dimetricus use Magic within the Midnight Planes. Yay me.

So! We'll assume... he, uh, used healing... stuff. Which is not magic.

I'm just doin a happy Dance cause Vandros could eventually join the party which would kick all sorts of ass. BUT HEY. Oh, and if somone posts before me can you just not move us out of the town. other then that i dun care, i think my next post will shift us to Dagger tooth unless their are some objections. I just got something to finish in that town then we can leave. SO have a nice day everyone and i'll be back tomarrow night.

10-31-2003, 09:39 PM

That was just a character sheet, kiyo-chan. His character is Sareth, the darkened Elf. Celestia needed a little OOC just like my Graver did, ^_^.

I'm glad you liked my post, Void man. It's got quite a heavy load of definition in it, ya know? Things that make you go "Whoa!" or something. I think. Maybe. But anyways! Damn, I wish I coulda went to that lock-in and played DDR with ya... I had to fuggin' work, and it was HELLA busy. I even accidentaly went in an hour early- whoops! But hey. You better be thinking about that post while yer dancing to fun songs like Sandstorm.

11-01-2003, 06:51 AM

Wow. Man that post was deep. heh. Don't know if I should post or not. lol. No, I think I'll leave THIS one to Void. hehe.

You know what I was just thinking? I was thinking that if this story were a movie, the entire first album by Evanescence would go perfectly as the soundtrack. heh.

Serious Edit: Okay, I've been thinking about Althea and and Gaise and Marko and Arkanis, and I was thinking that we could all meet back up BEFORE we get out of the planes, and THEN whomever wants to go off on their own can do that, unless they want to stay and explore the planes some more. But then how would they get back home seeings how the only other people that can cross the worlds are Celestia's brothers, and they aren't likely to help someone get out of there. Of course I could just be getting the wrong impression about them though. heh.

Sev

11-01-2003, 12:58 PM

Nah, you got it. All of the Midnight Walkers are pretty much psycho, cept' Celestia, since she got the smallest amount of power when born. But Vandros, he's another story. We ain't too sure what's going on in his mind, but he's very calculating.

I don't know where Roku and Lion Heart are, but I'm sure they'll want to get back to Dagger-Tooth somehow, but I don't want to take them there with our group until they are like ready. Until we know they're really still here, ya know? But Gaise and Althea, since they travel together, I think they'll find their way to our group or back to the mainland. Gaise has some things to take care of in this little region, see...

EDIT- And I put the links to the maps in my sig so they won't get burried in the OOC anymore. :)

Note: I am a moron and had Dimetricus use Magic within the Midnight Planes. Yay me.

So! We'll assume... he, uh, used healing... stuff. Which is not magic.

lol, still dosen't explain the massive water fist thing he used to smash one of Celestia's evil brothers in Void's post. Tried to post this a while ago but connection went poof so wasn't too worried about it. was going to say that it'd be fine since you hadn't specifically said that magic was unusable, but nope lol, after having said everything in a blunt straightforward sorta sense in the last post, you've really run into a brick wall there. Sure you'll sort it hehe, was your creation to begin with so you should know what you're upto.

Yeah, I know, dumb blonde me again, but yes, I DID go back and read it. heh. At least, I THINK I did. Maybe I should go read it a couple more times. hehe.

As for the magic thing, he DID explain it all by saying that magic CAN be used, it is just ate up by the planes. heh.

Edit: Ahha! I THOUGHT I had read something like that. :)

11-01-2003, 01:35 PM

No worries, just when you mentioned me an Althea being in the midnight planes again I thought you hadn't read what i'd already done or somethin. But then Sev said it too which just worried me lol.

An yeah, but he also said it would be ate up so quick you wouldn't even see the effect of the spell ;).

The water fist was Dimetricus bloodline echo. SO what's going on are we leavin the midnight plane or what, who needs to join the party, whos' not going to join the party, and who do we need to meet up with? i'm all drugged up so i really can't write my post right now. if somone wants to post but just leave my characters out of it entirly they can. i need to develope Celestia more before i let anyone go free with her so and i have plans with Sareth so somone else can post...

Sev

11-02-2003, 01:53 AM

Here we go, sorry for the confusion.
I accidentally wrote that Dimetricus used healing MAGIC when, in fact, I meant for him to heal Kira in any way possible. That was me getting carried away with the whole post idea, and forgetting the little details, which were easily fixed. I had meant from the start to say that he used means other than magic to aid her healing- things such as Band-Aids, Neosporin, and Hydrogen Peroxide.

Now, the water fist, like Void said, that was Dimetricus' Echo in action. He has superior control over water. Woot! So the rain from outside gathered and SLAMMED da' foo.

Now... to clear other things up...

We have two worlds, and two different types of magic. We'll say...

Dagger-Tooth = Natural Magic, Midnight Planes = Taint Magic

For each land there is a seperate magic type- they're very different from each other, and are more like tools for each world's war against the other.

Taint Magic is what the Bloodline Echo is. The Taint Magic infested itself into the denizens of Dagger-Tooth and that gives them access to otherwise unaccessable Taint Magic. It is Magic pulled from the Midnight Planes.

Natural Magic cannot be used in the Midnight Planes, because the Midnight Planes are the devourer- that world seeks and consumes ALL Natural Magic. So the real enemy is not Natural Magic itself, but the Midnight Planes. Natural Magic itself could exist perfectly fine if it were not for the threat of the Midnight Planes.

Taint Magic is the magic of the Midnight Planes, so it can be used there, without trouble. But when used on Dagger-Tooth, it works. Taint Magic is more powerful than Natural Magic, and it works on Dagger-Tooth. Dagger-Tooth is unable to fight it off when being casted from somewhere. But just Taint Magic in itself is vulnerable to rapid decay upon the winds of Dagger-Tooth, hence the reason the reason remaining Taint Magic from the Mikaia consumption needed to find hosts to survive.

So, in review-
*Natural Magic works on Dagger-Tooth
*Natural Magic does not work on Midnight Planes
*Natural Magic is consumed by Midnight Planes
*Taint Magic works on Dagger-Tooth with the aid of a user
*Taint Magic works on Midnight Planes
*Taint Magic unaided is consumed by Dagger-Tooth

Now the only question to remain would be what I mean when I say something about the magic of either world being on its own. Taint Magic remained when the Midnight Planes themselves launched a consuming attack on Mikaia, right? Well, perhaps the land of Dagger-Tooth could eventually launch an attack upon the Midnight Planes... maybe even 'consume' a land back from it!

This is easiest to think of as a battle between two entities, those two being Dagger-Tooth and the Midnight Planes.

Also: Mikaia and Dagger-Tooth are two different continents that were on the same world, lol, if you didn't know. I hope you knew though! Then the Midnight Planes ate Mikaia up. Dagger-Tooth remains on the home world.

Edit: lol, people gotta stop appearing out of nowhere like that. Hmm though if we're not including npc's I count two still in the Midnight Planes. Three if it is including npc's such as San-Meo though.

Aha, checked his profile an all and that does indeed make more sense. Just easilly confusable since he has that and control over wind/water magic, lack of differenciation made it a fun moment for confusion indeed. No worries though. An good catch sev ;) lol, women can have that effect, take it one step at a time an you'll be fine.

Personally I'm gonna let Althea wake herself up this time lol, but so long as we did actually read and/or understand the end to my post, it shouldn't worry anyone.

Also also, talked to Kristin last night and she's sent me her character profile in the post along with a post for Bard song and LoL lol, so you'll see a couple posts from her around, it'll just be me puttin em in. Point being though she's got her character for here set, an soon as I send her the next lot of posts (be on disk this time as she's got a laptop) she'll be ready to jump right in which is always a good thing.

Aww ^^, well it's good to know you guys are still around here. We all know how the busy scene goes.

Mike :P But yeah, that's really cool... Kristin is gonna get in on this! Sweet.

And just to point out again, since the post may've been lost in the recent rush of postings, I've placed links to the maps in my SIG. Perhaps I should put other things up on there... maybe make a page at my site dedicated to info about this story for us all to reference. Huah.

Well, I can't wait to read everyone's posting. After tonight I won't be back until Thursday morning. Taking time off of work. Personal reasons and all. Anywho, hopefully some IC posts will be up before the end of the night and I can get a feel for what is coming. Heh.

11-02-2003, 10:07 PM

OK, i'm starting to work on my post now, got about 3 hours of music on my playlist so we'll see what happens. i took a vikaden about 10 minutes ago but i've slept all day too so if it can manage to knock me out then my post will but up tomarrow but if not then it should be ready in about 2 er 3 hours. SO everyone hold your breath in anticipation...

11-03-2003, 12:11 AM

Awright then, bro. I don't see ya online and it's 12ish... so I'm wondering if you'll be on anytime soon. Anyways! Crybaby sent me a post she'd like to put up, but I don't know if she'll be here in time enough to post it up... huh... well, Void, post up yours, and if you can, don't take us from the Midnight Planes just yet. Crybaby still has something she'd like to do there. But if she does post first, then by all means, Void, take us home!

If Crybaby doesn't post in a day or so, then I'll just post our leaving the place and perhaps she can do her scene at another place. It's pretty flexible I thinks.
Yeah, it'll work, nevermind Void.

Sorry about not continuing with my character and all. For some reason, I just can't get back into the story, and I don't know where to take my character. Maybe on a long weekend sometime soon I'll reread the whole IC and come up with something.

If anyone wants to use my character for anything, go ahead.

Hey guys. I havn't read the new IC postings yet. Having a crisis at home also, but I'm hoping that I can get a post up either today or tomorrow. I'll edit this as soon as I read the last postings.

EDIT: Well, I have made my posting. I hope it's okay. Any problems, please let me know. :)

EDIT: Well, again, and again I have to change my post. It shall be done within a few moments. Okay. Everything is changed. Enjoy.

Name: Raven Erland
Race: Human / Tireen
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Weight: 96
Height: 5’1
Town Affiliation: Glindayle, though she hardly goes there these days.
Organisation: Talon Ring
Blood Echo: Raven has the ability to freeze time in place and she is free to move around.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Dark burgundy almost black, it is worn loose and is crimped. It falls to her mid-back and is all one length.
Skin: Raven’s skin is a pale white in contrast with her dark hair.
Equipment: A pair of scythes as well as two long daggers. She wears the two scythes on her waist in holders that cross behind her back. The daggers are hidden in her knee high boots.
Appearance:
<img src=http://mywebpage.netscape.com/Mikeido%20San/rp/Raven.jpg>
Raven is small in size but she is very well built. Her small frame is tuned and she is quite strong for someone her size. She wears a pair of black leather pants that have knee high boots covering them. For a shirt she wears a leather vest that exposes her shoulders, belly and a portion of her back.
Bio: Raven Erland was once known through Glindayle as Dove Morninglark, but Dove is dead or so the towns people believe. Dove at the young age of 16 fell in love with the head of the harbour patrol Gaise Marson. Her father didn’t approve of them and forbid her from seeing him. Dove’s father was a weapons trader and a member of Glindayle’s elite society, no child of his would lower herself to a harbour patrol member. Even though their relationship was forbidden they still saw each other where they couldn’t be seen. But somehow her father found out and sent Dove by ship to Treyuu to live with an aunt. Dove left in the early morning not being able to say a word to Gaise, though her father ensured that he would be told. He told Gaise that Dove had left and that she had told him that Gaise meant nothing to her and that she didn’t love him anymore. While en-route Dove’s ship was attacked by Talon Ring pirates. The pirates killed everyone save for a few to sell as slaves then burned the ship. Dove was taken in with those to become slaves. As captain Vandros Erland was looking over the slaves he came across Dove and made her his personal slave. Over the years she learned the trade of a pirate and Vandros changed her name to Raven Erland. She for the most part is free though she will always be a slave to Vandros. Raven is quite skilled as a pirate. She has built up quite a name for herself and Dove Morninglark is all but dead to her.

Side note wouldn't reccomend anyone writing her into their posts yet since it moves faster than we have time for, but there you go.

Hehe yeah she's only kinda back with us. Kristin still can't get into AO but I've been sending prints of everything and she sent me a written profile (as well as posts for Bard Song and LoL) which I put up there through her sn to make it look proper.

An as such haven't sent her the latest posts so she hasn't worked up an IC post for it yet. I've got half a plan to write her into a post sooner or later (read: after I catch up on everything else) but she hasn't had the time to read over everything so work around her for the now just to be safe. Hopefully when this Cybercafe on base opens she'll be able to get into the forums personally.

Got a post in, tryed to make it long and good, but with a stupid writers block it ended up pretty crappy. I hope no one has a problem with what's happening.. if you do, just give the word, I'll change it.

11-10-2003, 12:13 PM

Ok well as i mentioned somewhere around here i am indeed workin on an RPG of my own. i've talked to a few people about it and even might be bringing in a new member or two to join it. SO considering that and the feedback i've gotten from the people who have seen it so far i'm going to finish that ASAP so AE is gonna take back burner until i get that finished. It shouldn't take that long, i have plenty of time to work on it. So i'll post up here as soon as i finish my new RPG, thanks for your patience everyone...

So, what's going on then? I don't wanna post until I know where Dimetricus' group is going and I don't know the full details of the Cult of Shards so I don't wanna post until either Sev or Void does. heh. I hate being stuck in the middle, waiting. heh. Cause I know if I post I'll just mess everything up again.

Void

11-11-2003, 12:08 PM

No you can post if you want but just leave Dimetricus and Sareth out of the post. I really wouldn't suggest posting about the cult of shards but if you wanna do some of the begining stuff with that i have no problem with it personally. Sareth is gonna train Dimetricus to fight without magic though so those two characters are off limits untill i can get a post up and like i said i wanna get this new RPG finished and up sooner rather than later...

Sev

11-20-2003, 11:10 PM

Awright, people. Looks like things have slowed down a bit. I've been waiting on Void to post, but God knows when that'll happen. He's been restricted from the internet... and can't so easily make trips to the local library to post up. So... uhm... I don't know what we'll do there.
I'll talk to him again soon, and see what he had planned. I'll keep writing, no prob, just wanted everyone else to get a lil' in. But ALSO- this means that the RP he was working on will be very much delayed. He even said that I might just want to take it over... feh... once again, I'll see what's up. Hang tight, ya'll.

Fluff- About your last post... a Kunai army, first of all, wouldn't be that large in the first place. They have what, like 50 total at Leili. A small number, ya'. And... they don't fly... Only Graver does, and that's because of his Echo- it made him much more draconic, and thus granted him dragon-like wings. So... unless I'm waaaay off... just keep this in mind. And... what was burning? I got the feeling you meant it was Orchid, but... that'd be pretty crazy, since Orchid houses the largest population, most being mages! And plus my lil' group has shizzle to do there! Thassit, thanks!

Poor Void. Heh. Well, send him our well wishes and I hope he can get back on here soon. So, I guess that this is just the sit and wait and watch game then eh? Well, maybe Sev, Void can call you, and you could type up his post and we could go from there, maybe just to get things back in line again. (Just an idea of course). Anywho, we can get this done. :)

Arvis

11-22-2003, 01:44 AM

Yeah, I was thinking something like a 100 Kunai attacking the city. But due to their physical prowess and tactical strategies and surprise factor that they may have taken out a large portion of the city with them. And I'm afraid I wasn't able to elaborate much on that post due to my rushing ... I wanted to bring out the deaths of majority of the water mages. Plus I thought of adding confusion tactics so the mages would only kill themselves in effect. I'm sorry about the flying but since that went way back and no one corrected it, I thought it was fine.

But anyways... what happens now??? what's to be done about the post??

So sorry guys, I've been trying to get time in for a post, but it isn't easy with a 12 page research paper breathing down your neck... :( I'm gonna try to get something in before the weekend is finished. Hopefully it will explain everything everyone's confused about (and if it's still wrong, someone can smack me upside the head :p )

Sev

11-23-2003, 11:20 PM

Haha, it's cool Arvis. Jor doing good, hey. I know how the busy stuff can get ya... as it is, I'm working 5 days outta the week, from right after school to sleepy time. But... Thanksgivin' time is coming up and I get some days off, so hopefully. Yeah, crybaby, I'll do the post for Void, I think.

Fluff, if this is the turn ya want it to take- and I know Arvis started out the march of the Kunai thing, and you two worked that all out- then we can do it. I'm just going to have to say that PRIOR to that happening, my post came. Then I can include a bit of the chaos happening due to the Kunai war.

The only thing you have to change for sure is that they were flying, lol. They... well, ya know, can't. So yeah. But if all the Kunai are going to battle, I mean, all their warriors at least, that's gonna be a smaller force, and Orchid might just... uh, kill them all. Orchid is very heavily fortified too, ya know. They gots the huge ebon walls surrounding the entire city, with towers at each corner. Is that how we want this to go? Er, I don't see where you guys are going with this war thingy. So let's figure that out, and make the flying thing change, and that's it for now.

Arvis

11-24-2003, 09:04 PM

Hey, that sounds like me. Except I'm the other way around-- work, then school, then home. I'm pulling an all-nighter tonight *rubs eyes* and I'll try to get something up.

Don't worry, there's a logical reason for this war happening. Sure, there is a lot of people (mages) living in Orchid... but these aren't the run-of-the-mill Kunai anymore. I was planning on haveing them controlled by a certain powerful someone. But, anyway, I'll put something up in the a.m. hours, and if you guys have a problem with it then just let me know, I'll be happy to change it. I do try to remain faithful to everyone elses plot lines, and not screw anything up (though I often fail ;) ).

Name: Terre Notaire

Race: Human (1/4 blood elf)

Age: 33

Weight: A lady never tells (slim)

Height: 6’2”

Gender: Female

Town Affiliation: Glindayle

Organisation: A collection of smell hunting families on the outskirts of Glindayle

Bloodline Echo:

Speaker. Terre has the ability to lead another mind[s] down a logical path of thinking to whatever conclusion she so desires, mostly to the exclusion of limiting factors or contradictory facts that may negate the chosen goal. This effect lasts, or is successful, based upon a few varying factors. Knowledge is a main factor; for example, a farmer would believe her if she told him she could turn him into a toad, and would be terrified. Telling a wizard the same thing would only result in mild and temporary confusion (possibly lasting a mere instant) not because he is smarter, but because has strong knowledge to the contrary; although, intelligence is a contributing factor. More effective are emotive arguments based on an existing emotion, such as fear. The wizard in the example may believe that she could turn him into a toad if he was deathly afraid that it was possible and she played upon that with emotive “speaking”. After a speaking is concluded, the victim is imbued with a sense of conviction towards the belief or opinion, and subsequent motivation, that has been “spoken,”. Once again, the time span is dependant on the qualities of the victim: strength if will, inherent conviction in relation to the subject matter etc.

This bloodline echo is conveyed through empathetic reasoning or emotion, thus the side effects are numerous and varied, as empathetic denotes that the speaker is involved closely with the thinking process conveyed. The speaker can suffer anything from believing something along with the victim - to protracted periods of psychosis. Essentially, if reality is made up of thought, then a speaker can define it regardless of the pre-defined patterns that make up an individual’s thought processes. It is theoretically possible that a strong speaking could induce hallucination or irreversible madness, though the consequences would be equally catastrophic to the speaker, and require extreme energy and conviction.

Eyes: Ice Blue

Hair: Blue-Black collar length hair

Skin: Caucasian

Equipment: Hunters bow and dual hunting knives

Appearance Description:

Terre is slightly taller than the majority of human females and still looks to be in her early twenties, a consequence of her elven blood. Due to her profession as a game hunter, her figure is whip thin and athletic. Her features have a slightly foreign cast to them, due to her quarter elven blood. With her steely, penetrating ice blue gaze and the slightly aristocratic nature of her features Terre has at times been likened to a predator.

Biography:

Terre lives on the outskirts of Glindayle, in a small community of hunters that make a living from the flesh and pelts of the creatures that live in the nearby wood, as well as partially sustaining themselves through basic farming.

Note: The rest is in the first post. Not all my posts will be as long, just getting in the groove :p

Post is up. If any other characters come into Glindayle in the next few posts don't mention my char yet, I have a few things I wanna do with her first.

Sorry about the double post, just need to clarify something, though I'm sure it can't be that important. I couldn't find the name of the main river that flows beside Glindayle, so I simply called it Meren. I'll change it if the name was mentioned somewhere else.

Well, since Void won't be able to post for a while, and since Sev is so busy with work and school and sleep, I guess I'm gonna go ahead and post a small post. This will NOT include the actual trainging scene, but it will involve it a bit. Sev, lemme know what you need me to do, if anything. You have my e-mail addy. I'm IMing it to you after I type this. Anywho, I just wanted to get back into the story since I've been wanting to post so badly but haven't cause I didn't know what Sev and Void were thinking about doing. Blah, okay I'm mumbling now. Anywho, lemme know.

How can Dove teleport about the Midnight Planes like one of the Erland family? Isn't she married in? And even if she were of their blood, I mean... if Vandros wanted her, ya know, like that... it'd be incest. Ew.

Nevermind, I see. Soul-binding majigger. Well... I'm reading now, and I'm hoping to post tonight. Yay. Finally got a little vaca, ya know? And finally am able to connect on my mom's laptop.

...lol *hands Sev some coffee* best to be awake when reading posts, specially from my Angel Kristin. Or least all of the post first, an have a vauge recollection of the character profile hehe. Indeed everything makes sense as it's all set out in her profile aswell as explained in the ic post. Tis good to have her back with us. I've got stuff elsewhere to clear up first so won't be posting too soon, but Kelli said she might be able to today, an if kiyo-chan ever stops playing with graphical stuff she might pop in eventually too.

01-03-2004, 01:00 AM

Okey I posted too. But I want to lay some plans out here. We're getting closer to pulling peeps together I think, so I wanna be careful here. But here's the deal I'm wanting to talk about:

My group- Pyriron, Dimetricus, Kira, and Celestia are going to Vital Island, the place on the map above the main continent on the Midnight Planes map that looks a little greener than the rest. Karri's Echo is the ability to instill growth and life, and thus, this land she ran away to is fertile. She can also nurture the power of the Bloodline Echo within someone. So when our group goes there, they're gonna get a boost in their Echo. Crybaby, I was thinking that Kira could like become not only danger-sensing, but also sensative to the Midnight Plane stench, and therefore, help our group avoid Vandros and Metatron. But if you have a better idea, do tell! Aaaaaand...

The biggest thing I wanted to say was, with Sareth and San-Meo talking about Dragons... they're plotting the deaths of the remaining Dragons. You see, Dragons being highly attuned to Magic, still harbor great power. Power that could rise up against and do well in taking on Metatron and the Midnight Plane. So... Dimetricus has the Ice Dragon Dagger, and Sareth has the Light Dragon Katana. The Dragons that remain are: Fire, Wind, Earth, and Dark. Of course, the Dark Dragon is at Castle Boundfate, and we can't exactly get to it that easy. We must get the other Dragons- put them to rest and use their power to defeat the foe at hand. So, if anyone wants an Elemental-Dragon weapon, speak up. We got Fire, Wind, and Earth on the line here.

So if our characters get those Dragons, then we have less to worry about Metatron getting his hands on. But... if he does come to realize it, he'll use the bones of the Dark Dragon, and it'll be... an epic battle! So, like... I dunno who wants what, or if anyone wants anything, but I was thinking it'd be cool anyways.

Comments, questions?

What if.....and yesh I know this is a long shot, but instead of a Wind sword or katana or however the hell you spell that word, what if there were arrows that could kill the Wind dragon? Maybe? Yesh? No? hehe. I'm so excited. :p

Well, what we're looking at is something like once the Wind Dragon is defeated, its bones will be used to make a weapon for you- so that'd be like... a Wind Dragon Longbow. Since you couldn't do the arrows unless you wanted a limited amount of shots with 'em. Actually, I was thinking that before I posted this up. Sound good, huh?

And yes, Fluff, you do need to insert a post somewheres, :P.

Oh. lol. Okay then. I guesh that will do.

Eh, I get it now. lol. Thankie for the help. Sometimes people just need to blow in my ear a bit. Give me more of the air for my head. lol.

Okey, I posted. 2 things tho, I don't know for sure that the back of a ship is called a Helm, I only THINK it is called that. If it's not then let m know so I can edit that word outta there. Also, I didn't know what the proper name was for the big wheel on a ship that steers it. Obviously I would make a really shitty pirate in real life. lol.

Aft or stern would be the back of the ship, and the helm is actually the steering device, if I remember correctly, :P, but good try!! I'm going to be reading your post tonight, crybaby, sooo... dunno if I can reply just yet, but we'll see.

-Edit-
Felt major urge to write. So I did.
I introduce a new player character too. I hope she doesn't mind. I said I'd talk to her about it first, lol, but I just couldn't wait. Soooo... if there is anything wrong with what I've done, just let me know! She should be posting her character up soon, ;).

Thank ye!

Race- Tireen
Gender- Female
Age- 51

Bloodline Echo- Chameleon: The ability to blend in with her surrounding at will.
Eyes- Greyish-blue
Hair- Black w/ blue streaks, down to the middle of her back
Skin- Light blue
Equipment- Weapon: Spear, Armor: None
Appearance Description- Body: Long strait hair. Ears are peirces three times on each ear. She has two black "claw-like" markings under each eye, the same markings are seen on her upper arms and thieghs. Although her build is petite, she is very able, sneaky, and fast. She can also jump fairly high. Clothing: A few strands of hair are braided together with a string, and at the end there is a deep blue crystal, a family heirloom. Her upper body clothing consists of a small green top that reveils her stomach, her upper arms are covered by "fishnet"-like sleeving, but under the elbow a gold ring holds up long green fabric that flows past her hand in the back. Her lower body is covered in the same green fabic as her upper body (long skirt basicly). her ankles have the same gold rings that hold the frabric on her arm, and she wears black boots.
(jeffers'll post a picture of her later..)

Biography- Daileen was one of those who survived upon the landing on Dagger-tooth, but she also lost her memory of her homeland, family, and everything else about herself before that day. Once she was on Dagger-tooth she met up with Pyriron, becoming a very close and trusted friend of his. Together they created The Cult of Shards, although she always gave him the credit because he knew much more of magic, and the world around them. Since then she has been living peacefully in Lastingwood, every so often traveling to Orchid with other members of The Cult of Shards to spread the word of magic’s evil to others, also trying to put a stop to the use of it by the local mage’s guilds.

Aye, she's known him how many years? An you've known him how many months? To know someone's real name through an online relation for some is more a matter or respect and trust than anything else. An you did say it was something new to tease him about so you can perhaps understand why it's not something he'd just freely let out really. I rarely call someone by their real name around here unless I know it's okay.

Anyway, shall post sooner or later since I've got all this idea in my head an whatnot. Gotta post Bard Song first to get everything into place again. <a href=http://www.avalancheonline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=182957#post182957>*coughnotaplugcough*</a> ^_-
