And if I did have one I would probably mess up all all the rules and whatnot if I tried to create something. I'm very new to organized tabletop-esque roleplay, but not to play by post kinda of stuff without organized character rules."

And he can choose to halve the Power to do Physical damage instead.<br/><br/>20 Questions:<br/>BACKGROUND:<br/>1)   Where's your character from?<br/>He was born in Seattle, to a middle class family. He ran away from home following his goblinization, and joined one of the many gangs that roam the Seattle sprawl.<br/>2)   Does your character have a family?<br/>Yes, but he isn't in contact with them anymore.<br/>3)   Does your character have an ethnic background?<br/>His parents are Danish immigrants, who move to Seattle because of work.<br/>APPEARANCE<br/>4)   What does your character look like?<br/>He a giant slab of muscle. Literally. Standing at twice the height of most metahumans, he is a very intimidating example of the Giant metatype. His eyes are covered by mirrored protective coverings, and he exibits clear alterations due to SURGE. He has grown the dermal deposits and tusks, that while universal amongst trolls, are almost unheard of amongst giants. However, the most shocking think to change were his legs, which transformed into the legs of a giant wolf. He would possess the horns of a troll, but he had them sawed off a few centimeters away drom his skin, so that he could wear his helmet. He wears his white hair cut short, and spiked up. He wears a synthleather necklace with a fang dangling from it. If asked, he will reveal that it is the fang of a Western dragon he slew while on a run.<br/>5)   What does your character dress like?<br/>He dresses in a full suit of form-fitting body armor, underneath a trenchcoat lined with ballistic plates. He wears a load-bearing harness over his chest, and wears a sword and a long knife of a belt around his waist. An axe is slung over his shoulders, and a submachine gun is holstered under each armpit.<br/>6)   Does your character have physical quirks?<br/>He is an albino.<br/>SKILLS, ATTRIBUTES, AND RESOUCES<br/>7)   Where did your character learn their Active Skills?<br/>On the streets of Seattle, when he was a ganger.<br/>8<strong>)</strong>Where did your character learn their Knowledge Skills?<br/>See above.<br/>9)   Where did your character get his goodies?<br/>He bought the gear on the streets, off the black market. He bought the bioware off of Tanamous, and the cyberware from assorted underground fixers. Well, he got his ration bars from the local Stuffer Shack.<br/>10)   Where does your character live?<br/>In a squat in the Redmond Barrens. It is far too small.<br/>11)   Who are your character's contacts?<br/>Nightfyre, a troll and a ganger that was in the same gang as Fenrir, and George Lewis, a fixer he has done business woth in the past.<br/>12)   Who are your character's enemies?<br/>Other gangers, and whoever the Johnson pays him to be the enemy of.<br/>13)   How did your character learn magic<br/>He didn't. He is a mundane.<br/>PERSONALITY<br/>14)   What are your character's likes and dislikes?<br/>He dislikes enclosed spaces, but he isn't a claustrophobic.<br/>15)   What is your character's moral code?<br/>Don't betray your friends, and smack anyone who messes with your gang to bits.<br/>16)   Does your character have goals?<br/>Get a bigger house, with a higher ceiling.<br/>17)   Does your character have personal beliefs?<br/>When you're on the mean streets of the sprawl, only the strongest survive, and emotional attachent breeds in weakness.<br/>18)   Does your character have personality quirks?<br/>He likes small women (relatively speaking). He uses a lot of lube.<br/>RUNNING THE SHADOWS<br/>19)   Why does your character run the shadows?<br/>It's better than starving to death, and he enjoys it.<br/>20)   How does your character view his/her role as a shadowrunner?<br/>It's a living. He kills things for money, and he does it well."

Own a force 6 medicine lodge. Live comfortably. Get laid on a regular basis.<br/><br/>17)   Does your character have personal beliefs?<br/>The strong have a responsibility to protect the weak, but only if they are deserving enough. The Awakening was a good thing. Eventually magic and nature will win out over greedy megacorps and insane polititians. Although the night of the world is at its darkest, it is always darkest before the dawn.  Humanity is merely on the first step toward a new age of enlightenment and it's up to us to see that humanity survives these deadly times and learns to leave in peace and harmony.<br/><br/>18)   Does your character have personality quirks?<br/>He is attracted to the 'gothic look' on women, but can't understand the need for them to feel constantly depressed. He's not into S&M. He figures that he has been dominated by women enough in his lifetime, and woukld rather *NOT* be submissive in the bedroom as well. Saying that he likes strong (in personality) women. He's a leg man. As you can tell  one of his major drves is the opposite sex.<br/><br/>RUNNING THE SHADOWS<br/><br/>19)   Why does your character run the shadows?<br/>Usually by necessity. Although he expects to be paid good nuyen for his services, he is the typical reluctant hero. He is a sucker for a deserving hard luck case, and he loves sticking a finger to the man!<br/><br/>20)   How does your character view his/her role as a shadowrunner?<br/>Its a means to an end. He can help the underdog and get paid for it at the same time. This means he won't take kindly to morally reprehensible jobs."

GM - feel free to use it, change it, or ignore it at your leisure.<br/><br/><strong>The Black Orchid</strong><br/><br/><strong>Background</strong><br/><br/>This nightclub is situated in the Elven District of downtown Seattle (Or a simular location depending on where the game takes place). The Black Orchid was set up and is run by Juliet Grey, an African shapeshifter-human (Panther) in her mid thirties. She started the club ten years ago and despite several attempts by rival clubs to put her out of business, has built it up into one of the most popular night spots in the district.<br/><br/>The nightclub is one of the regualr haunts of the Green Knight biker gang, an all elven gang who make it their business to protect the district from the more unsavoury criminal elements that threaten its stability. One of their memebers, a japanese elf named Lotus, performs at the club as an exotic dancer and is one of the club's main attractions.<br/><br/>Juliet had links to both local street gangs and runners. If a Mr. Johnson needs a job done, then Juliet can often find a team of runners willing to do the job - at a price, of course.<br/><br/>The music played here is mostly a mixture of gothic and chrome, so it is a regular haunt for chromeheads and jammers. You'll find a good mix of humans and metahumans, mages and shaman's here. It even has a few orcs and trolls, despite being in the elven district.<br/><br/>Protection for the club is provided by a brother and sister act. Two Japanese humans razored to the hilt. Aside from this the locals themselves don't take kindly to strangers trying to cause trouble. Anyone who looks like they're going to start a fight are asked to take their differences outside. Those that refuse are dealt with, often with deadly force - but always swiiftly and quietly.<br/><br/><strong>Layout</strong><br/><br/>The ground floor of the club supports a locker room where a punter can stash his or her belongings for a few credits. Behind that is a storeroom where waepons, fetishes etc are stored. Punters are always thoroughly searched  for dangerous items. Any items must be stashed in the lockers and not taken into the club. No one has yet been able to smuggle anything inside and there has never been any major crime or violent incident in the club in all of its ten year lifespan.<br/><br/>Aside from the locker room is a large dance area, surrounded by tables and chairs, with bars at either end of the area. In the centre of the dance area is a raised stage where acts from all over the city come to perform. The club also has its own army of singers and dancers. One of the most popular at the moment is Lotus, an exotic dancer who is a hit with punters of both sexes.<br/><br/>Above and around the stage is a balcony with seats and tables, and on this level are an area of private rooms that can be hired for personal use. Juliet sometimes uses this room to set up contracts for various runners, who she acts as a fixer for (Lotus is one such runner). The local law enforcement  is aware of Juliet’s sideline, but they are some of her most frequent clients and they keep the standard security services from getting too nosy.<br/><br/>The final level supports a restaurant that serves exotic dishes from all over the world, as well as a set of simsense booths, a pool table,  and a large chill-out room.<br/><br/>The nightclub is open from 6pm to 6am and is always kept clean.<br/><br/><br/>"

Female<br/>Age:  25<br/>Dec: Not unlike Clark Kent walking with a slouch and wearing glasses, Sachiko's three personalities aren't terribly effective.  Even in this day and age, there aren't many Japanese girls with naturally grey/green eyes.<br/><br/>She is petite and svelte with a body and complexion created by an indulgence in both physical fitness and expensive cosmetics, a heart shaped face, and cupid's bow lips.  She wears an orichalcum lattice bracelet and rings connected by chains on her left hand, looking like white gold studded with rubies.<br/><br/>She has a matching cuff on her right ear, and an orichalcum band around her upper right arm, and a piercing through her left nipple that she's occasionally worn a tight enough shirt to hint at.<br/><br/>Given these markers, her three personalities are more for her own benefit than any realistic attempts at disguise.<br/><br/>As Eudialyte she prefers not to show any of this, wearing snug but bulky heavy camouflaged (urban patterns) armor.  Eudialyte is impersonal and brusque, passingly polite but ruthless.<br/><br/>As Kokoro the street clinic owner, she emphasizes her Japanese ancestry with a piping voice, polite manner, and even the occasional slip into her ancestral tongue.  She wears white or pink tube tops and shiny black leather.<br/><br/>As for Sachiko..   Well, they both exist to protect Sachiko, so you'll have to uncover that for yourself.  Suffice it to say there's a young woman in Seattle who owns a ""100 years of anime"" vid-poster in her townhouse who spends most of her time at the

thing is, Wolf still thinks he owes me.  (I'm just relieved he has a lover so his love for me stays Lancelot-esque.)<br/>""Simply put, I broke my own rules when I found this poor kid, curled up in a ball on the ground being beaten down by three orcs and a troll.<br/>""'You know, boys, I normally don't interfere in aggressive negotiations, but something about four on one just turns my stomach.  How about you boys take go celebrate your victory with a round of Smash on me?'<br/>""I'll spare you their rather lewd response, suffice it to say they thought I, that is Kokoro who dresses all cute and sexy under her heavy armored jacket, would make a better conquest than the boy they had on the ground.<br/>""Well, I didn't intend to let them have that chance.  I unleashed my stun ball at full power, which is almost as likely to make me down as it is to flatten every target in sight, but being a sprawl ganger and a bully doesn’t lend itself to strength of will and I was the only one standing when it was done.  IT hurt like three kinds of hell, so I cast a minor pain reducer on myself and managed not to make my own situation worse in the process.<br/>""Then I dragged the ganger boy into an abandoned building.  He had more broken bones than I could count, and my Stun Ball hadn't helped him.  I knocked myself out with the treat spell.<br/>""Well, to be perfectly honest, I expected to wake up ravished and penniless, if at all.  Instead I woke up in Kitten's bed.<br/>""Kitten's got some looks, but not enough looks to get her a SIN without selling her body to the megacorps.  She's a busty, freckled ginger blonde with some cosmetic Cat Girl implants and stripes, very cute.  She makes her New Yen dancing half clothed at what passes for a classy establishment around here.  That means she dances for the Maphia Boys and their guests, who look out for her, instead of in the brothel taverns you'll find a few blocks away.<br/>""Kami-sama bless Wolf, he's man enough to let his girl dance, and man enough to let her make more money than he, but if you lay one finger on her he'll come down on you like the foot of Dunkelzhan.  He protects his turf and his family, sometimes working for the maphia, sometimes against, for the good of his hood, his girl, his mother, his two brothers, and me, his Angel of Mercy.  (He KOed 2 orcs I hadn't seen before I got there, specifically because they'd been making improper allusions to Kitten's body.""<br/>""In any event, Wolf's got eyes and ears in the slums, and his best girl's got them in the Maphia.  More importantly Wolf knows that I'm also Eudialyte and keeps an eye, chain, and occasional gun sight on Eudialyte's revamped and permanently financed little refurbished, abandoned factory outbuilding with the various secret, bio-maglocked trunks stashed inside old bits of machinery, air ducts, and basements that contain Eudialytes bike, guns, gear, and car.<br/>""He's also a good man to share a drink and a back rub with.  The rest of his gang aren't so sweet, but 'cause Wolf say's I'm cool and I’ve patched up some of their minor breaks and gouges as well, they're good to know.<br/>""Oh, and it was he who pointed Ro towards me.""<br/><br/>2 Rowena O’Malley  (Mafia Leader)<br/>""Probably Kokoro's best friend...  Sort of.  Wolf and Kitten are the closest friends, Ro is someone she can not only be intimate and casual with, but also someone she can carry on an intelligent conversation with.<br/>""Ro owes me quite a bit more than Wolf, 'cause it wasn't Roweena's life I saved but that of a little eight year old who caught a Triad bullet meant for Ro.<br/>""We barely knew each other, but the Triad's Decker had frozen her Doc Wagon account, and I was the kids only hope.<br/>""I had the little one stable and on the mend in time to join up with Ro in a retributive strike with extreme prejudice.  That was my first and second time to kill a sentient.  I don't regret a minute of it.  Never got far enough to swear the Hippocratic Oath anyway.<br/>""Well, Roweena runs Maphia interests in Eudialyte's part of the slums, and after that Ro didn't hesitate to provide me with anything I could come up with the money for, untraceable and state of the art.<br/>""I don't know if she knows my real name or not, she hasn't asked, but she could probably find out if she wanted too.""<br/><br/>L 1 Contacts<br/>1  Shiro Tanaka   Yakuza Soldier  --  ""Shiro-san calls me Koko-chan, and Kokoro's too nice to take it as less than flattering.  (It means Cute Little Kokoro.  Try that on Eudialyte and you'll get a submachine gun barrel down your throat.)<br/>""To Shiro, to whom I pay the rent and security money for Kokoro's remarkably nice house in the land on the SINless, and from who’s hide I've pulled many a bullet or shrapnel shard, Kokoro is an object of flirtation too valuable to actually be used and cast aside, and so we flirt and exchange favors of a more professional sort.""<br/>2  Dancer  O.R.C.  (Help me out here, what would my relationship be with O.R.C?  Are they an orc gang, or a racial superiorist band.)<br/>5  Weaver      Decker  --  College friend of Sachiko?<br/>3  Holly       Reporter  --  ""Holly actually knows that Sachiko has taken up an alternate identity as a Shadowrunner and more, she knows why.  In fact, she wants the Corp brought down nearly as badly as I do.  If she hasn't connected me with the name Eudialyte yet, or at least Kokoro, it's probably because she hasn't tried.<br/><br/>4  Nightdancer  Talismonger --Former business associate of my mother and father who lost some very good contracts when the Takeover went down.  Since then he's been happy to provide Sachiko with whatever she asks for, no questions asked.  That includes gossip as well as talisman's at the going price.<br/><br/>6  Galahad      Plain Clothes Cop --  ""If I still had a heart...  Oh, my Galahad, my knight in a dressy casual.  As Sachiko I got--very--close to having a very satisfying fling with him when we realized it would seriously perjure his investigation.  Every once in a while, when I'm alone in the night, it occurs to me that Kokoro could offer him a rather satisfying erotic massage or even Eudialyte could have a rather intriguing Amazon encounter with him.  I haven't gotten up the guts or desperation to actually go through with it...<br/>""Yet...<br/>""Sorry, that's called En Media Res, starting in the middle.  Galahad was the only cop investigating Sachiko's parents and brother's death who felt as she did, that it was a badly covered up assassination.  He confided in me that the higher ups in the police were rushing the investigation through or burying it in paperwork.<br/>""Galahad is the last good cop, as far as I'm concerned, very serious about protecting the innocent to the point of dealing with Shadowrunners quite favorably if said shadowrunners try to avoid an overlarge body count.<br/>""And if one word of that gets out of your lips, I'll surgically remove them, capiche?""<br/>""That actually means he pointed out to me, very subtly, that I needed to run the shadows to do what needed doing.""<br/><br/><br/><br/>History:<br/><br/>Holding her katana at the inquisitors throat Eudialyte growled in a noticeably electronically altered voice, a husky alto based on some erotic romance heroine simsense who could send chills down a man's spine by simple expedient of whispering his name.<br/><br/>It didn't work half so well synthesized, or perhaps that had something to do with the folded steel katana blade shaving your throat.<br/><br/>""All right, chummer, you found me.  So why exactly should I be spilling all my deep, dark secrets to you?  Am I supposed to remove your head to protect them when I'm done so you can die satisfied?<br/><br/>""Oh...  You're G.O.D.?  Why didn't you say so?""<br/><br/>The armored figure relaxed visibly and sheathed the kattana with a move not quite so smooth as she would have liked.  ""Well, no use hiding anything from you, right?""<br/><br/>She lifted her camo-gloved hands to pull of her mirror shades, revealing, revealing a homo sapiens sapiens face that could be easily make it onto a billboard.  The Japanese beauty, her ethnicity as intimidating as it was exotic, had the quality of looks you couldn't buy at the salon or earn at the gym.  Rather, too a dispassionate observer, she clearly indulged in both vanity-expanding pastimes.  The only sign of Caucasian blood was the lightness to her grey-green eyes.<br/><br/>Not stopping their, she unlocked one gauntlet and pulled it off to reveal, not only the supplely muscled arm beneath, but four ruby studded orichalcum rings connected by chains to a bracelet.<br/><br/>""That's all you need to see,"" she explained.<br/><br/>""My name is Sachiko Hideki, and I'm sure the first question going through your head is, ""What's a pampered piece of tail like that doing running the shadows?<br/><br/>""I'll give it to you straight, chummer, I've got the oldest shtick in the book.  Revenge.<br/><br/>""My old man's name was Katsu, and his old man was Ranmaru, and his old man was Sano.  This is the part where I tell you how they all died.<br/><br/>""Sano was a fisherman, but that didn't stop him from crashing a plane into an American aircraft carrier when the emperor said so.  Shortly thereafter, his ancestral hut was eradicated by a weapon of mass destruction affectionately known as Little Boy, leaving his widow to work as a laundress in Tokyo and his unborn child with nothing to remember him by but a rather cheap katana.  No, it's not this one, this one is Wooten Damascus steel folded ninety seven times.  But this one also happens to have an identical hilt, scabbard, tsuba, and serial number.  I'll get to that in a little bit.<br/><br/>""The Americans didn't do so badly by their conquered territories back then and my father found himself growing into what was rapidly becoming one of the world's top public education systems.  Given the chance to improve his mother's lot in life, he graduated at the top ninety percent of his high school and eventually pulled a business degree from Tokyo University.  Trust me, chummer, you don't get a much better education than that, nor do you fight much harder for it.<br/><br/>""His mother retired into the lap of luxury, relatively speaking anyway, with a gandson to cuddle before she died and three domestic servants to treat much better than she herself was treated.<br/><br/>""Now truth be told Ranmaru built himself up to about as much of a fortune as I'm currently squandering.  He married late in life to a healthy young bride and begot Katsu, but in his infinite wisdom, while he gave Katsu a quality of childhood pleasures a great many people in the world throughout history would have considered princely luxury, he was actually rather strict and tight fisted.  Katsu had to earn his generous allowance with not only good grades but also high marks in the kendo club and public service.  Katsu learned this lesson well and, by the time the family fortunes started falling into his hands, he had graduated from his father's alma matter with a GPA .03 higher, as Americans measure things.  He had a shrewd mix of ambition, charity, and sense of duty, and quickly multiplied his family fortunes by a factor of ten, adjust for inflation.  He also had a knack for languages and was frequently involved in international corporate affairs.  Of course, this also lead to the rapid annulment of his first marriage to a very bored and very boring trophy wife.<br/><br/>""He pledged to content himself with massage parlors and academia for his pleasures when not making himself and his company an ever increasing bounty in New Yen.  Most particularly academia, I would say, because the world was in the midst of it's dramatic change back then and, while he lacked the personal scholarship to unravel the meaning of it all, he could keep up with the people who had it and persuade the higher ups in the megacorp that it was worth investing in.<br/><br/>""He was getting into his forties when he met a rather ambitious young lady at the University of Berkly who was branching out from molecular biology into some cutting edge work in the arcane sciences.  It wouldn't seem too impressive today, I covered most of it in my second year, but there seemed to be an across the board hunger back then to prove that magic was a quantifiable force that could be controlled through reason and science just as readily as spirituality.  Her name was Dr. Yomiko Sandora, and her father was Puerto Rican, her mother Japanese.  Katsu was fascinated with her work and poured a great deal of corporate money into it.  He spent a great many of his semi-official and off hours in her lab, where at some point they discovered they were capable of sharing mind blowing sex as well as intelligent conversation.<br/><br/>""A rival in the corporation discovered this as well and, probably out of jealousy, persuaded the corporate elders that they should be spending their money on less theoretical work and far more applicable sciences.  Just as things were being called into question a stooge of his rival pointed out the aroma of wild copulation in Dr Sandora's office and the frequently changed sheets on the futon behind the desk that she, before meeting my father, generally used only when her research kept her up too late to drive home.<br/><br/>""The old men scowled and, between quite admiration of Katsu's prowess, reallocated most of the funds to Yomiko's research and reassigned Katsu to a position of lesser athority and profit with more opportunities to use his charm on single foreign business women.<br/><br/>""Needless to say, Katsu was having none of that.  He and Yomiko formed a private corporation together, funded by Katsu and a few ambitious lower men in the company.  When Ranmaru succumbed to old age with a smile two years later Katsu quit the megacorp all together and poured his full attentions into running the business aspect of Hideki biotech.  By the time he felt secure enough in his financial future to guarantee the prosperity of the family, he presented Yomiko with, not only a sizeable diamond ring and proposal of marriage, but also this.""  Eudialyte held up the jeweled orichalcum chain bracelet.  ""It's even more powerful than it is pretty, or it was in my mother's hands.  I'm still trying to attune to it.""<br/><br/>""To make a long story a tad bit shorter, within 26 years Katsu and Yomiko and their shareholders had a substantial fortune under their belt in biotechnology and arcane science patents.  Not that they had any entire products to their credit, but they were responsible for, and profiting off of, advancements in health-based magic, genetics, cloning, alphawear cybertech, and even talismongery.""  She gestured with the bejeweled bracelet again.  ""This is powerful even today, when it came out it was cutting edge and top of the line.""<br/><br/>""They also had an annoying habit, to some people's way of thinking, of making medicines available at discount prices when the patients need was great and credit line weak.<br/><br/>""But I'll get to that shortly, it bears mentioning at this point that they had not only a fortune but also a devoted, hard working heir and a pampered princess of a daughter.<br/><br/>""I'm flattering myself, of course.  Not every spoiled daughter, whose highest ambition in life was to marry well while dabbling in the Arete, could say she was successfully pursuing a double major at a major university and could quick draw a katana without cutting off her own thumb.<br/><br/>""But I honestly lacked the ambition characteristic of my family and was satisfied to live the luxury my parents hard work entitled me too.  My half-finished degrees in Pre-med and the arcane scieneces were just another of those luxuries.<br/><br/>""Well, a certain megacorp whose name I'm sure you know better than I got it into their heads that we were exercising a bit too much control over our patents, and that our profits would be put to better use lining their coffers.  They offered to buy us out, we refused.<br/><br/>""That's when our research started becoming mysteriously preempted and our security personal started turning up mysteriously lacking in vital body parts.<br/><br/>""Tougher security measures were installed, including no small number of combat trained magi, and the shadowrunners seemed to eventually be dissuaded.  Just in case, father commissioned this modern combat worthy blade made in such a way that it could be switched with the old family heirloom he carried a permit for.<br/><br/>""We started to relax.  After five years in college I was about to complete my junior year in both degrees, so when mother, father, and my older brother Sano (yes, another Sano) took out the yatch to celebrate I stayed home to focus on my studies.<br/><br/>""That night, there was a ""freak accident"" involving a carefully placed charge of high explosive not far from the yatch's fuel tank.  There was an explosion, followed by a flash fire which was quickly extinguished as the shards of the yatch were pulled under.  Mother and father's charred corpses were pulled out by the DocWagons, which is how I came to inherit mother's talisman.  My brother's body was never found.  I hope he's dead, because the thought that either he's currently a secret corporation slave or a murderous traitor to family and company is too much too bear.<br/><br/>""I quite simply didn't have the no how to hold the company together, if it was possible to do so with all the carefully arranged creditors coming to call and share holders pulling out.<br/><br/>""I mourned just long enough that, were there anything I could have possibly done to keep the company, I didn't do it.<br/><br/>""Then the anger woke up in me.  I had more than enough money left to set myself up in a comfortable middle class lifestyle for the rest of my life, and become a doctor if I wanted to elevate myself, but that wasn't good enough.<br/><br/>""I finished my double degree in a year but I'd already begun confusing my accounts with friends from school and making ""friends"" in low places.<br/><br/>""I knew I had no legal recourse against so monolithic a corporation, I had to tear them down the way my own family was torn down, from the shadows.  I couldn't do it alone, I needed friends, lots of loyal friends, and a precious few with the power and know how that I lacked.<br/><br/>""I stepped up my training with the katana and learned to use a pistol as well as mastering my magic and completing my pre med degree.  It was around this time that a certain SINless mage-girl started making appearances in the bad sides of town.  Occasionally she would drop some NuYen into the right places, but her primary concerns were with the health and well being of the SINless, destitute, orcish underground, and other people the major hospitals didn't care about but who nonetheless had the power in certain circles to get things done.<br/><br/>""Her name was Mai, and she had a small apartment with a clinic in the back, along with her own styling motorcycle, but did most of her work with magic.  In a rather remarkable period of time she began collecting the right sorts of friends.  Once she was sure of who was the right sort, it suddenly came clear that she actually had a bit of ready cash on hand when it could secure her talismans, weapons, and a very nice set of unregistered armor.""<br/><br/>""When she was sure she knew the right people, Mai introduced a few of them to Eudialyte, combat medic and mage with a dash of street samurai thrown in for good measure, aspiring Shadowrunner with a little axe to burry in a certain corporation’s back with extreme prejudice.""<br/><br/>"

Boingo brings the Doc food from time to time, as he knows the man won't leave sight of the rails.<br/><br/>Lifestyle<br/><br/>Redmond Barrens Squat (100/month)<br/><br/>Comforts:   Squatter<br/>Entertainment:   Squatter<br/>Furnishings:   Squatter<br/>Security:   Low<br/>Space:      Low<br/><br/>Flaw: Crashpad<br/><br/>Background<br/><br/>You know, when people look at me, they see nothing but a freaked out kid. Sure, I've got more tattoos that bare flesh on my upper body, I have neon green hair, and I twitch, but that's called energy bra, energy. There ain't nothing wrong with having energy. I'm not a kid though, but hell if they want to think it, that's all good. When people think you're just a kid, they tend to underestimate you. See, I've got the mojo in my blood, I'm fastwired and good to go. Toss me a piece and I can hit the target, but I prefer the club. I'm a non-lethal kinda guy really, out for a fast buck and some kicks.<br/><br/>But it's not the now you want, eh? It's the how. How'd I get here, into running? I mean running doesn't seem like my thing, but it's all about necessity. I grew up in a drekhole, to put it nicely. My parents were good folk, I loved 'em dearly, but they weren't so well off. Bein' poor and an elf in the Redmond Barrens, well that's not easy. Being poor, an elf, and in a section of the Barrens on the border of Renton (aka Seattle redneck central) well that is just crazy. I spent half my youth running from those Humanis motherfraggers, half of it causing them hell. That's what went and landed me in Johnny Law's lap in the end.<br/><br/>See, there was this one Humanis piece of Drek names Hammond Smythe; real lowlife bastard, who just happened to be a Wasp. That means he's rich, he's white, and he's human as they come. This Smythe fellow just happened to be the leader of a chapter of Humanis which had taken to trying to 'clense' my neighborhood. They'd sweep in en masse with food and money, but only for the humans. Any metas around were introduced to Tiny and Clem, and kindly asked to leave. When my folks refused, well they saw fit to beat my pop to a pulp. I didn't take too kindly to that, and I introduced Tiny and Clem to a baseball bat. And wouldn't you know it, not even four hours later the 'Star showed in my neighborhood for the first time in a decade, looking for little old me. I managed to duck them that first day, and damned if I was going to leave well enough be. Finding out where Smythe lived was simple; anything's simple when you know the right people. Now, I'm not sure what was running through my head when I went to Smythe's place, but seeing that a grade A waste of air like him could live in a mansion the size of the tenament building I grew up in, well it got me mad. So what does a teenager do when he's angry and rebelious? Well naturally he breaks all the windows on a guy's limo, spraypaints it, then covers it in gas and lights it on fire.<br/><br/>The 'Star managed to catch up with me while I was visiting my father in the hospital. Being that I was standing in front of my mother, I didn't want to put up a fight. So they cuffed me, and shipped me off to trial. Nice thing about being a kid when you're arrested, you don't serve time in a real prison. Still, three years in a juvenille facility, where I found out I was Awakened, well it wasn't a picnic. People find out you're an Adept, and they start thinking they need to prove something by fighting you. Spent a lot of time catching shit for ending fights other people started.<br/><br/>But now I'm out, back on the streets. My father actually managed to get a decent lawyer from the city, and launched a civil suit against Smythe, which got him and mom comfortably out of the Barrens (who says the system doesn't work), and me... well I couldn't quite go to live with them. The new neighbors don't take kindly to ""tattooed gutter trash."" So to save them greif I went out on my own. Problem is, there isn't exactly much legitimate work for uneducated ex-cons. So I do what comes naturally, I fight the man through the shadows. Can't say I'm the best, since those who do tend to wind up dead. But I'm good enough maybe I'll make my mark some day. Hell, can't help but try..."
213,[Shadowrun: Rough and Ready] Characters,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=552.0,"19-07-2005, 08:58:30",Xerial,"20 Questions:<br/>BACKGROUND:<br/>1)   Where's your character from?<br/><br/>Tim (aka Boingo) was born and raised in a Barrens neighborhood on the border of Renton. The neighborhood was a fairly even mix of metahumans and humans, and a fairly peaceful one at that, until Humanis started its campaign of subversion.<br/><br/>2)   Does your character have a family?<br/><br/>Tim doesn't have a family of his own, nor does he intend to in the near future. His parents are still alive and well, living comfortably in Tacoma. He doesn't see them so often anymore, though. Their new neighbors don't respond too well to a 'tattooed freak' hanging around the area.<br/><br/>3)   Does your character have an ethnic background?<br/><br/>Tim's father is fourth generation Russian, his mother's family emmigrated from Mexico before the Awakening, and settled in what was once Oregon.<br/><br/>APPEARANCE<br/>4)   What does your character look like?<br/><br/>Tim is a lithe elf of average height, posessing an athletic build. His upper arms and back are covered in tattoos (mostly tribal, with a few modern elements interwoven into them), and his long hair is usually dyed green and kept in dredlocks. He has several facial percings as well.<br/><br/>5)   What does your character dress like?<br/><br/>Tim tends to dress in the latest urban street fashion, and usually in bright colors. His taste is an eccentric mix of subculture, and it shows in his clothing. When on the job he tends to dress a mite more subtle, though there is only so subtle he can be. Regardless, whatever Tim wears, he will not dress in something that will restrict his movement in any way.<br/><br/>6)   Does your character have physical quirks?<br/><br/>Aside from having bright green dreadlocks, Tim has a few pysical ticks, developed from a constant hyperactiveness. He also has a habit of throwing off random kung fu moves from time to time, usually when he has been sitting still for a while.<br/><br/>SKILLS, ATTRIBUTES, AND RESOUCES<br/>7)   Where did your character learn their Active Skills?<br/><br/>Barring his skill with a pistol, Tim is largely self taught. His skills come from a combination of love of anything athletic (especially parkour), and from constantly being in trouble with the law. He learned how to shoot from Xion, who got his hands on a piece on day, which they used to use to shoot old energy drink cans and such.<br/><br/>8)   Where did your character learn their Knowledge Skills?<br/><br/>Life with little else but watching the trid and causing trouble with the law brought him most of the knowledge he has. That which he knows about Humanis he learned for personal reasons. Namely for revenge. He picked up his Spanish and from his mother, who insisted she wasn't going to raise a fool kid.<br/><br/>9)   Where did your character get his goodies?<br/><br/>Having grown up in the Barrens, Tim knew people who knew people, who knew places to get their hands on a gun and some decent armor. The stun baton he actually stole from a cop.<br/><br/>10)   Where does your character live?<br/><br/>Tim lives in a tiny tenemant apartment that and any time plays host to ten or twelve of his friends. Usually these friends are people he doesn't even remember meeting, or he just met the night before.<br/><br/>11)   Who are your character's contacts?<br/><br/>Xion is a huge Rastafarian troll whom Tim used to tag with, back in the days before his arrest. Nowadays he and Xion still hang from time to time, usually when they both feel like wrecking a few Humanis boys.<br/><br/>Doc Sampson was once a brilliant surgeon, who now lives on the monorail, living off of handouts. He once helped Tim out after a brush up with the Spikes, so now Tim brings along something hot and fresh whenever he rides the rails.<br/><br/>12)   Who are your character's enemies?<br/><br/>Tim has a special dislike in his usually carefree heart for Humanis members, and their less fanatic supporters. He especially hates Hammond Smythe. The feeling is more than mutual.<br/><br/>13)   How did your character learn magic<br/><br/>Tim's Awakening just came naturally to him. He doesn't even realize the full extent of it yet. Chalk that up to still being a teenager, and an invincible one at that.<br/><br/>PERSONALITY<br/>14)   What are your character's likes and dislikes?<br/><br/>Tim is all about freedom of movement, and flowing with his environment. He constantly has to be on the move, and he is always looking out for the next big element to play off of. He can't stand anti-metahuman sentiment, and the hatred that comes along with that intolerance.<br/><br/>15)   What is your character's moral code?<br/><br/>Tim is all about the carefree life, and is about the furthest from a cold killer you can get. He won't even pull a gun unless something is really going down.<br/><br/>16)   Does your character have goals?<br/><br/>Tim would like to get his ass out of the Barrens some day, and earn himself the respect it would take to be happy living elsewhere.<br/><br/>17)   Does your character have personal beliefs?<br/><br/>Tim is a Catholic, but not an overly faithful one. Again, as with much of his foundation, this is his mother's influence.<br/><br/>18)   Does your character have personality quirks?<br/><br/>Unless it comes to Humanis, Tim is the eternal optomist. He can find the good in being shot... out of a cannon. He is also a hopeless flirt, though he doesn't have too much luck with the ladies, given he is a bit eccentric.<br/><br/>RUNNING THE SHADOWS<br/>19)   Why does your character run the shadows?<br/><br/>He runs the Shadows for the kicks, and to keep soy on the table.<br/><br/>20)   How does your character view his/her role as a shadowrunner?<br/><br/>He doesn't see himself as being a true professional, which is a realistic viewpoint. He doesn't have the skills to be a true shadow ninja, and he won't kill out of hand, so he'll be happy taking crazy runs that no one else will touch."

When she came of age, Cass searched out the most extreme special ops unit she could track down, leading her to corporations and security groups.  She applied to Lone Star and was rejected several times, ostensibly due to lack of real experience.  A fringe extremist group noticed her however, and recruited her.<br/><br/>The last of her unit, Cass is presumed dead with her comrades-in-arms.  She was a member of an elite retrieval unit, structured to retrieve important people, objects, and information from various holdings, corporate, military and private.  Her unit was funded by a purist human group, but she like the rest was picked for her ability to follow orders without question rather than any beliefs she might hold.<br/><br/>Cass served for 2 years, her body redesigned to fit her particular niche in the group with the limitless funds of the large anti-metahuman religious backers.  Her unit infiltrated, retrieved, and occasionally assassinated within many major systems, all without ever being detected.  Until her last mission, a mission to enter Drake holdings and retrieve a scientist working on biological weapons.  Dr. Strosky’s work appealed to her backers, because it centered around the physiological differences between metahumans and humans.<br/><br/>When the group reached Strosky however, they found another group had found him first, and not quietly.  The alarms tripped and Cass’ unit was left in trap, the corpse of Strosky pointing a metaphorical finger at them.  In the ensuing firefight, the demolitions expert opened an exit while the others laid covering fire, Cass was the first through the opening by random chance.  Drake guards had other ideas however, and fired a high explosive round into the demolitions bag, turning the room behind Cass into a mass grave.<br/><br/>The explosion threw Cass from Drake tower, landing her in a pile of thankfully soft refuse pile.  Her mission scrapped, her team very clearly dead, Cass decided it was time to cut her losses and move on.  Her employer would likely erase her anyway, just to cover up the incident, and it was simply better for her to disappear.  She never truly agreed with her employers’ reasoning anyway.<br/><br/>Cass pulled herself together, with a silent thanks for her fire and impact resistant bodysuit, and disappeared into the shadows of the Seattle slums.  With her talents, surely she could find work, she just needed to make some contacts.<br/><br/>She is noted as saying things like…<br/>“You need the job done well, hire runners.  You need the job done well and quietly, hire me.”<br/>“…”<br/>“I want silence.  Make a sound and my rate triples.”<br/>“Oh come on, I have better locks than this on my nutrisoy dispenser.”<br/><br/><br/>Edges:<br/>Vesatile Sleeper 1<br/>Light sleeper 1<br/><br/>Flaws:<br/>Background Trouble 1: A religious cult would be glad to rid themselves of a witness if they find her alive<br/>Hidden Past 1: Metahumans around her might be distressed to find out her past activities<br/><br/>"

The ones I remember are:-<br/><br/>Street Samurai - Basic warrior type. Razored to the nines, more machine than man.<br/>Decker - your typical hacker.<br/>Mage - your typical sorceror<br/>Street Shaman - think of them as being simular to clerics - They tend to have urban totems.<br/>Burned out Mage - A mage that has began to trade magic for cyberware. Kind of like a fighter / wizard.<br/>Bodyguard - self explainitory<br/>Physical Adept - A person who cah channel his chi (psychic energy), to perform magical feats of martial artistry - Basically a street samurai but using magick instead of cyberware.<br/>Rigger - A person whio is skilled at operating, fixing, and modding all sorts of vehicles.<br/>"

Lancelot-esque.)<br/>""Simply put, I broke my own rules when I found this poor kid, curled up in a ball on the ground being beaten down by three orcs and a troll.<br/>""'You know, boys, I normaly don't interfere in agressive negatiations, but something about four on one just turns my stomache.  How about you boys take go celebrate your victory with a round of Smash on me?'<br/>""I'll spare you their rather lewd responce, sufice it to say they thought I, that is Kokoro who dresses all cute and sexy under her heavy armored jacket, would make a better conquest than the boy they had on the ground.<br/>""Well, I didn't intend to let them have that chance.  I unleashed my stun ball at full power, which is almost as likely to make me down as it is to to flatten every target in sight, but being a sprawl ganger and a bully doen'st lend itself to strength of will and I was the only one standing when it was done.  IT hurt like three kinds of hell, so I cast a minor pain reducer on myself and managed not to make my own sitaution worse in the process.<br/>""Then I dragged the ganger boy into an abandoned building.  He had more broken bones than I could count, and my Stunn Ball hadn't helped him.  I knocked myself out with the treat spell.<br/>""Well, to be perfectly honest, I expected to wake up ravished and peniless, if at all.  Instead I woke up in Kitten's bed.<br/>""Kitten's got some looks, but not enough looks to get her a SIN without selling her body to the megacorps.  She's a busty, freckled ginger blonde with some cosmetic Cat Girl implants and stripes, very cute.  She makes her New Yen dancing half clothed at what passes for a classy establishment around here.  That means she dances for the Maphia Boys and their guests, who look out for her, instead of in the brothel taverns you'll find a few blocks away.<br/>""Kami-sama bless Wolf, he's man enough to let his girl dance, and man enough to let her make more money than he, but if you lay one finger on her he'll come down on you like the foot of Dunkelzhan.  He protects his turf and his family, sometimes working for the maphia, sometimes against, for the good of his hood, his girl, his mother, his two brothers, and me, his Angelt of Mercy.  (He KOed 2 orcs I hadn't seen before I got there, specificly because they'd been making improper allusions to Kitten's body.""<br/>""In any event, Wolf's got eyes and ears in the slums, and his best girl's got them in the Maphia.  More improtantly Wolf knowes that I'm also Eudialyte and keeps an eye, chain, and occaisional gun sight on Eudialyte's revamped and permenantly financed little refurbished, abandoned factory outbuilding with the various secret, bio-maglocked trunks stashed inside old bits of machienery, air ducts, and basements that contain Eudialytes bike, guns, gear, and car.<br/>""He's also a good man to share a drink and a back rub with.  The rest of his gang aren't so sweet, but 'cause Wolf say's I'm cool and i've patched up some of their minor breaks and gouges as well, they're good to know.<br/>""Oh, and it was he who pointed Ro towards me.""<br/><br/>2 Rowena O’Malley  (Mafia Leader)<br/>""Probably Kokoro's best friend...  Sort of.  Wolf and Kitten are the closest friends, Ro is someone she can not only be intimate and casual with, but also someone she can carry on an intelgent conversation with.<br/>""Ro owes me quite a bit more than Wolf, 'cause it wasn't Roweena's life I saved but that of a little eight year old who caught a Triad bullet meant for Ro.<br/>""We barely knew each other, but the Triad's decker had frozen her Doc Wagon account, and I was the kids only hope.<br/>""I had the little one stable and on the mend in time to join up with Ro in a retributive strike with extreme prejudice.  That was my first and second time to kill a sentient.  I don't regret a minute of it.  Never got far enough to swear the Hypocratic Oath anyway.<br/>""Well, Roweena runs Maphia instrests in Eudialyte's part of the slums, and after that Ro didn't hesitate to provide me with anything I could come up with the money for, untraceable and state of the art.<br/>""I don't know if she knowes my real name or not, she hasn't asked, but she could probably find out if she wanted too.""<br/><br/>3 Slash and Burn<br/><br/>L 1 Contacts<br/>1  Shiro Tanaka   Yakuza Soldier  --  ""Shiro-san calls me Koko-chan, and Kokoro's too nice to take it as less than flattering.  (It means Cute Little Kokoro.  Try that on Eudialyte and you'll get a submachiene gun barel down your throat.)<br/>""To Shiro, to whom I pay the rent and security money for Kokoro's remarkably nice house in the land on the SINless, and from who'se hide I've pulled many a bullet or shrapnel shard, Kokoro is an object of flirtation too valuable to actualy be used and cast aside, and so we flirt and exchange favors of a more professional sort.""<br/>2  Dancer  O.R.C.  (Help me out here, what would my relationship be with O.R.C?  Are they an orc gang, or a racial superiorist band.)<br/>5  Weaver      Decker  --  College friend of Sachiko?<br/>3  Holly       Reporter  --  ""Holly actualy knowes that Sachiko has taken up an alternate identity as a Shadowrunner and more, she knowes why.  In fact, she wants the Corp brought down nearly as badly as I do.  If she hasn't connected me with the name Eudialyte yet, or at least Kokoro, it's probably because she hasn't tried.<br/><br/>4  Nightdancer  Talismonger --Former buisness associate of my mother and father who lost some very good contracts when the Takeover went down.  Since then he's been happy to provide Sachiko with whatever she asks for, no questions asked.  That includes gosip as well as talisman's at the going price.<br/><br/>6  Galahad      Plain Clothes Cop --  ""If I still had a heart...  Oh, my Galahad, my knight in a dressy casual.  As Sachiko I got--very--close to having a very satisfying fling with him when we realized it would seriously perjure his investigation.  Every once in a while, when I'm alone in the night, it occurs to me that Kokoro could offer him a rather satisfying erotic massage or even Eudialyte could have a rather intriuging amazon encouter with him.  I haven't gotten up the guts or desperation to actualy go through with it...<br/>""Yet...<br/>""Sorry, that's called En Media Res, starting in the middle.  Galahad was the only cop investigating Sachiko's parents and brother's death who felt as she did, that it was a badly covered up assasination.  He confided in me that the higer ups in the police were rushing the investigation through or burying it in paperwork.<br/>""Galahad is the last good cop, as far as I'm concerned, very serious about protecting the innocent to the point of dealing with Shadowrunners quite favourably if said shadowrunners try to avoid an overlarge body count.<br/>""And if one word of that get's out of your lips, I'll surgicaly remove them, capiche?""<br/>""That actualy means he pointed out to me, very subtly, that I needed to run the shadows to do what neeeded doing.""<br/><br/><br/><br/>History:<br/><br/>She called herself Eudialyte for the crystal dusting her armor.  In bright light it was a shimmering dark latice of cherry red and black cherry purple, but in the shadows it blended as well as any other heavy security armor.  It had to be a custom job, not just for the crystaline trim but also for the way it shifted supply with her every move and hugged every curve.  Security armors were generaly made to intimidate, these seemed almost made to dispaly the body their armored, if three inches of modern padding, balistic plastics, and depleted uranium laced ceramics could be said to reveal.  The helm was the oposite, of course, looking like a cross between a space suit helm and a preying mantis god carved from crystal.<br/><br/>Holding her katana at the inquisitors throat she growled in a noticably electronicaly altered voice, a husky alto based on some erotic romance heroine simsense who could send chills down a man's spine by simple expedient of whispering his name.<br/><br/>It didn't work half so well synthesised, or perhaps that had something to do with the folded steel katana blade shaving your throat.<br/><br/>""All right, chummer, you found me.  So why exactly should I be spilling all my deep, dark secrets to you?  Am I suposed to remove your head to protect them when I'm done so you can die satisfied?<br/><br/>""Oh...  You're G.O.D.?  Why didn't you say so?""<br/><br/>The armored figure relaxed visibly and sheated the kattana with a move not quite so smooth as she would have liked.  ""Well, no use hiding anything from you, right?""<br/><br/>She lifted her glove hands to her helmet and several moments of whiring came out of the bowels of the armor before it finaly popped free, revealing a homo sapiens sapiens face that could be easily make it onto a bilboard.  The japanese beauty, her ethinicity as intimdating as it was exotic, had the quality of looks you couldn't buy at the salon or earn at the gymn.  Rather, too a dispasionate observer, she clearly indulged in both vanity-expanding passtimes.  The only sign of caucasian blood was the lightness to her sienna brown eyes.<br/><br/>Not stopping their, she unlocked one gauntlet and pulled it off to reveal, not only the supplely muscled arm beneath, but four ruby studded orichalcum rings connected by chains to a bracelet.<br/><br/>""That's all you need to see,"" she explained.<br/><br/>""My name is Sachiko Hideki, and I'm sure the first question going through your head is, ""What's a pammpered peice of tail like that doing running the shadows?<br/><br/>""I'll give it to you straight, chummer, I've got the oldest schtick in the book.  Revenge.<br/><br/>""My old man's name was Katsu, and his old man was Ranmaru, and his old man was Sano.  This is the part where I tell you how they all died.<br/><br/>""Sano was a fisherman, but that didn't stop him from crashing a plane into an American aircraft carier when the emperor said so.  Shortly thereafter, his acestral hut was eradicated by a weapon of mass destruction affectionaltly known as Little Boy, leaving his widdow to work as a laundress in Tokyo and his unborn child with nothing to remember him by but a rather cheap katana.  No, it's not this one, this one is wooten damascus steel folded ninty seven times.  But this one also happens to have an identicle hilt, scabard, tsuba, and serial number.  I'll get to that in a little bit.<br/><br/>""The Americans didn't do so badly by their conquered teritories back then and my father found himself growing into what was rapidly becoming one of the world's top puclic education systems.  Given the chance to improve his mother's lot in life, he graduated at the top ninty percent of his high school and eventualy pulled a buisness degree from Tokyo University.  Trust me, chummer, you don't get a much better education than that, nor do you fight much harder for it.<br/><br/>""His mother retired into the lap of luxury, relitvly speaking anyway, with a gandson to cuddle before she died and three domestic servants to treat much better than she herself was treated.<br/><br/>""Now truth be told Ranmaru built himself up to about as much of a fortune as I'm currently squandering.  He married late in life to a healthy young bride and begot Katsu, but in his infinite wisdom, while he gave Katsu a quality of childhood pleasures a great many people in the world throughout history would have considered princely luxury, he was actualy rather strict and tight fisted.  Katsu had to earn his generous allowance with not only good grades but also high marks in the kendo club and public service.  Katsu learned this lesson well and, by the time the family fortunes started falling into his hands, he had graduated from his father's alma matter with a GPA .03 higher, as americans measure things.  He had a shrewd mix of ambitioun, charity, and sense of duty, and quickly multiplied his family fortunes by a factor of ten, adjust for inflation.  He also had a knack for langueges and was frequently involved in international corperate affairs.  Of course, this also lead to the rapid anulment of his first marriage to a verry bored and very boring trophy wife.<br/><br/>""He pledged to content himself with massage parlors and academia for his pleasures when not making himself and his company an ever increasing bounty in New Yen.  Most particularly academia, I would say, because the world was in the midst of it's dramatic change back then and, while he lacked the personal scholarship to unravel the meaning of it all, he could keep up with the people who had it and persuade the higher ups in the megacorp that it was worth investing in.<br/><br/>""He was getting into his fourties when he met a rather ambitous young lady at the University of Berkly who was brancing out from molecular biology into some cutting edge work in the arcane sciences.  It wouldn't seem too impressive today, I covered most of it in my second year, but there seemed to be an across the board hunger back then to prove that magic was a quantifiable force that could be controled through reason and science just as readily as spirituality.  Her name was Dr. Yomiko Sandora, and her father was purto rican, her mother japanese.  Katsu was fascinated with her work and poured a great deal of corperate money into it.  He spent a great many of his semi-official and off hours in her lab, where at some poitn they discovered they were capable of sharing mind blowing sex as well as intelgent conversation.<br/><br/>""A rival in the corperatoin discovered this as well and, probably out of jealousy, persuaded the corperate elders that they should be spending their money on less theoretical work and far more applicable sciences.  Just as things were being called into question a stoodge of his rival pointed out the aroma of wild compulation in Dr Sandora's office and the frequently changed sheets on the futon behind the desk that she, before meeting my father, generaly used only when her research kept her up too late to drive home.<br/><br/>""The old men scowled and, between quite admiration of Katsu's prowess, realocated most of the funds to Yomiko's research and reasinged Katsu to a position of lesser athority and profit with more opertunities to use his charm on single foriegn buisness women.<br/><br/>""Needless to say, Katsu was having none of that.  He and Yomiko formed a private corperation together, funded by Katsu and a few ambitious lower men in the company.  When Ranmaru sucumbed to old age with a smile two years later Katsu quit the megacorp all together and poured his full attentions into running the buisness aspect of Hideki biotech.  By the time he felt secure enough in his finacial future to gaurntee the propserity of the family, he presented Yomiko with, not only a sizeable diamond ring and proposal of marriage, but aslo this.""  Eudialyte held up the jeweled orichalcum chain bracelet.  ""It's even more powerful than it is pretty, or it was in my mother's hands.  I'm still trying to attune to it.""<br/><br/>""To make a long story a tad bit shorter, within 26 years Katsu and Yomiko and their shareholders had a substanial fortune under their belt in biotechnology and arcane science patents.  Not that they had any entire products to their credit, but they were responsible for, and profiting off of, advancements in health-based magic, genetics, cloning, alphawear cybertech, and even talismongery.""  She gestured with the bejewled bracelet again.  ""This is powerful even today, when it came out it was cutting edge and top of the line.""<br/><br/>""They also had an anoying habit, to some people's way of thinking, of making medecines available at discount prices when the patients need was great and credit line weak.<br/><br/>""But I'll get to that shortly, it bears mentioning at this point that they had not only a fortune but also a devoted, hard working heir and a pampered princess of a daughter.<br/><br/>""I'm flattering myself, of course.  Not every spoiled daughter, whose highest ambition in life was to marry well while dabbling in the Arete, could say she was sucessfuly pursuing a double major at a major university and could quick draw a katana without cutting off her own thumb.<br/><br/>""But I honestly lacked the ambition charecteristic of my family and was satisfied to live the luxury my parents hard work entitled me too.  My half-finished degrees in Pre-med and the arcane scieneces were just another of those luxuries.<br/><br/>""Well, a certain megacorp whose name I'm sure you know better than I got it inot their heads that we were excercising a bit too much control over our patents, and that our profits would be put to better use lining their coffers.  They offfered to buy us out, we refsued.<br/><br/>""That's when our research started becoming mysteriously preempted and our security personal started turning up mysteriously lacking in vital body parts.<br/><br/>""Tougher security measures were installed, including no small number of combat trained magi, and the shadowrunners seemed to eventualy be disuaded.  Just in case, father commisioned this modern combat worthy blade made in such a way that it could be switched with the old family heirloom he carried a permit for.<br/><br/>""We started to relax.  After five years in college I was about to complete my junior year in both degrees, so when mother, father, and my older brother Sano (yes, another Sano) took out the yatch to celebrate I stayed home to focus on my studdies.<br/><br/>""That night, there was a ""freak accident"" involving a carefuly placed charge of high explosive not far from the yatch's fuel tank.  There was an explosion, followed by a flash fire which was quickly extinguised as the shards of the yatch were pulled under.  Mother and father's charred corpses were pulled out by the DocWagons, which is how I came to inheret mother's talisman.  My brother's body was never found.  I hope he's dead, because the thought that either he's curently a secret corperation slave or a murderous traitor to family and company is too much too bear.<br/><br/>""I quite simply didn't have the no how to hold the company together, if it was possible to do so with all the carefuly arranged creditors coming to call and share holders pulling out.<br/><br/>""I mourned just long enough that, were there anything I could have possibly done to keep the company, I didn't do it.<br/><br/>""Then the anger woke up in me.  I had more than enough money left to set myself up in a comfortable middle class lifestyle for the rest of my life, and become a doctor if I wanted to elevate myself, but that wasn't good enough.<br/><br/>""I finished my double degree in a year but I'd already begun confusing my accounts with friends from school and making ""friends"" in low places.<br/><br/>""I knew I had no legal recourse against so monolythic a corperation, I had to tear them down the way my own family was torn down, from the shadows.  I couldn't do it alone, I needed friends, lots of loyal friends, and a precious few with the power and nohow that I lacked.<br/><br/>""I stepped up my training with the katana and learned to use a pistol as well as mastering my magic and completing my pre med degree.  It was around this time that a certain SINless mage-girl started making appearences in the bad sides of town.  Occaisionaly she would drop some NuYen into the right places, but her primary conererns were with the health and well being of the SINless, destitue, orcish underground, and other people the major hospitals didn't care about but who nonetheless had the power in certain cirlces to get things done.<br/><br/>""Her name was Mai, and she had a small apartment with a clinic in the back, along with her own styling motorcyle, but did most of her work with magic.  In a rather remarkable period of time she began collecting the right sorts of friends.  Once she was sure of who was the right sort, it suddenly came clear that she actualy had a bit of ready cash on hand when it could secure her talismans, weapons, and a very nice set of unregistered armor.""<br/><br/>""When she was sure she knew the right people, Mai introduced a few of them to Eudialyte, combat medic and mage wiht a dash of street samurai thrown in for good measure, aspiring Shadowrunner with a little axe to burry in a certain corperation's back with extreme prejudice.""<br/><br/><br/><br/>OR, if you prefer a naive inocent girl who can

coming, a great scourge.  As the mana levels rise, the bad things on the other side of the Astral Plane get closer and closer, and I have to be strong to stand against them when they come.  I need my

me?""<br/><br/>Tearsong is a pale, red headed elf, whos'e magic is alarmingly strong, and whose magical talismans, which seem to have appeared out of nowhere along with a great many Newyen, are even stronger.  Physicaly, though, she's still quite feeble from her time on the astral plane and is fighting hard to get back in shape.<br/><br/>Her orichalcum knife, which she calls an Athme, is both weapon focus and power focus.  Or at least, it's both those things conected.  She also has several powerful sustaining foci and has set herself up in the streets with all the magical gear she can get her hands on thanks to her patrons parting gift.<br/><br/>SHe believes it will be many hundreds of years before the horrors arive.  WHen they do, she has to be as strong as she can be, with many friends.  But for now she's just running the Shadows to aquire the skill, experience, and Newyen that she needs.<br/><br/>"

The protective dome extends about 100 yards (~92.3m) in any direction.  Physically, the academy is a solid stone motte-and-bailey style castle with a seventy foot (~21.5m) tower sitting on a high tor.  Within the wall are several outbuildings of various sorts.  Instruction is handled by magi and adepts, in return for gifts from their students (the school only gives them room and board).  There are no formal class schedules or periods, however, students are encouraged to learn from two or more teachers.  All non-teaching staff are of the master rank. The weather changes at the whim of the school’s hidden high adept (whom no one ever sees).  A half day’s ride to the south is a small town which caters to the school.<br/><br/>(We’ll shoot for an IC day change every month - two weeks RT daytime, two weeks nighttime, if that works for the majority.)<br/><br/>Currently the only illegal magic is necromancy.  This area is not officially taught at the Academy.  However, there are some teachers who will give private instruction in the subject if properly persuaded.<br/><br/><br/>[attachment deleted by admin]"

He is decently tall, around 5'10"" (a little under 2m), though on the low end of average weight for his height. His long wavy brown hair is his one affectation, and what he considers to be his best physical attribute, which, considering he’s not likely to even place in any beauty contests, is saying something. His dark eyes stare at the world with a mix of wonder and cynicism. Now, he has a full short beard and mustache, both are almost black and a bit stringy.  A small silver earring in the shape of an ankh glints from his left lobe.  His clothing is in the style of his mother’s people (Orcs) consisting of a simple breachclout and a moderately wide belt buckled by a pewter two-headed hawk.  Attached to the belt are a pair of narrow black leather cubes containing his knives.<br/><br/>Personality: He’s never been a particularly out-going individual and his time in the semi-monastery hasn’t helped this at all.  Since Jastian never really rose in the monastic ranks at all, before discovering his magical talent, he remains pretty subservient in general.  More often than not, he prefers begin told what to do rather than having to rely on native initiative.  Put in a situation where there is a threat to himself or someone he cares for (respects, loves, likes, etc.), Jastian will do everything in his power to safe the other individual(s) first and worry about himself later.<br/><br/>Background: Jastian can’t recall where he was born.  According to what he’s been told, he was left at the door of the Soaring Serpent when he was less than two years old.  Raised by the quasi-monks, Jastian never rose very far in their ranks.  Part of the reason being that he was never much good at most of the monastic pursuits, beyond chopping firewood, tending gardens, and the Serpents’ style of combat (relying on speed and stamina more than strength).  Seven or eight years ago, he started having dreams about flying over the mountains near the retreat.  Since many spoke of similar dreams, Jastian paid them no attention.  Then the monks began asking where he went at night.  Since he had no recollection of leaving, he was at a loss to explain to them.  Two years later, everyone learned why.  As it turned out, Jastian had been unconsciously turning into a hawk.  Within a year, he figured out how to keep from changing involuntarily.  A year later, he learned how to change shape at will.  By that point, his magical talent manifested.  The lone spellcaster at the Soaring Serpent taught him basic control so he wouldn’t harm anyone, but couldn’t do much more than that.  So, Jastian was sent to seek out the Mage Academy, which he arrived at a few months ago.  Now, he can more or less control his powers, relatively weak as they currently are.<br/><br/>Non-Magical Strengths/Weaknesses: Near mastery of Ignas (related to Escrima, with butterfly knives out-focusing sticks), Shapeshifting (Hawk), Very inexperienced in terms of the outside world (see background) and quite submissive in general<br/><br/>In hawk form, Jastian is mute, thereby preventing him from using magic in that form until he reaches the Magi ranking, unless he develops new focal gestures specifically for that form (even then, he won’t be able to cast until he becomes a Master).<br/><br/>Magical Areas (Ratings):<br/>Elemental Fire - 2<br/>Light/Darkness - 1<br/>Plant - 1<br/><br/>Game Limits: Site Rules, Male-Male<br/><br/>Specific Fantasies (3):<br/>1) To be taught the various ars amore, preferably by an older, experienced, and attractive mentress.<br/>2) To be bound (ankles and wrists) and teased, though not being allowed release until he’s told to do so (to Jastian it’d be another stamina building exercise).<br/>3) TBD<br/><br/>Homeland: The Soaring Serpent is a quasi-monastery set in a mountain valley far to the south.  The pseudo-monks residing there seek enlightenment through meditation, control of their bodies (via martial prowess), and aiding others.  Their preferred form of physical conditioning is Ignas - a form of mixed armed and unarmed combat related to Earth’s Escrima, although the monks favour the butterfly knives over sticks or other weapons - which most are reasonably proficient at.<br/><br/>Notes: Twin butterfly knives are his focal objects and most of his rituals incorporate Ignas moves<br/><br/>[attachment deleted by admin]"

Her hair is usually worn in a long ponytail which is strangled and kept in check by pieces of her own hair that she lost. She is usually dressed in a loincloth and a simply garment that covers her breasts.<br/><br/>Personality: Renie never wanted to be a witch and it made her cold to the world, always being seen as an outcast when she left her village towards the larger cities on the african continent. However once you become her friend she would die to save you.<br/><br/>Background: Renie was born on the african planes, her younger life was more or else a playfull time as she spent time learning about the secret black arts. When she reached the age of fifteen she got her mark, identifying her as a full blooded witch. But not content with what her village offered her she left towards the major city, there she met a young woman who she instantly felt an affection for. But it was all a simple trap as Renie was forced into hard labour, after barely escaping she went out to look for somewhere to hide. Somewhere safe, trough her dreams she saw the school and now she has found it.<br/><br/>Non-Magical Strengths/Weaknesses: Renie is flexible and can easily get into paces most can not, if she was not a witch she could have been a thief without any ease. Her large weakness though lies in the fact that she has a fragile skeleton, thus any large blast that might damage her will undoubtley break a few bones.<br/><br/>Magical Areas (Ratings):<br/>Empathy - 3<br/>Divination - 4<br/>Plant - 5<br/><br/>Game Limits: Site Rules<br/><br/>Specific Fantasies (3):<br/>(1) To find the slavers that captured her and make them pay by using the magic that she learned here.<br/>(2) To understand more of the visions that she sometimes gets while she is sleeping.<br/>(3) To perhaps meet a friend to help her with some of her inner problems.<br/><br/>Homeland: Her homeland is in the Tafi desert, a desert like any other this one hosts several tribes in it. Renie's tribe was one that used to sort to peacefull sulutions to any problems, thus they became the problem solvers there. The tribe ususally consists of a group of elders who oversee any troubles with the witch being there spiritual guidance.<br/><br/>Notes: Renie is never seen without her spear which she believes was given to her by whatever visits her in her dreams, the long spear is used to channel mage powers trough it and many often see Renie's fingers touching the staff at several strange places as well as whispering words to it."

He is neither a leader nor a follower at heart, and it usually confuses people who don't know him well when he steps (in either direction) out of their expectations for him.<br/><br/>Magical Areas (Ratings):  22 points spent<br/><br/>Elemental Air 7  (I'm hoping for both lightning bolts and telekinesis with this)<br/><br/>Metamagic 5  (Detect and Dispel Magic, maybe magic missiles as the first level D&D spell?)<br/><br/>Protection/Warning 4 (he's curious about wards)<br/><br/>Healing 3<br/><br/>Mind Control 2<br/><br/>Alchemy 1<br/><br/>Game Limits: Site Rules,<br/>also no male/male.  Ask permission before trying anything extreme in any way.<br/>I can be reasonable for the sake of the story, but only with good reason.  For instance, I normally avoid NC, but if a situation can be created where NC makes sense, I could let that go.<br/><br/>Don't ask me to let my character be dominated, though.  You won't like the answer, no matter what my roar rating may be.<br/><br/>Specific Fantasies (3):<br/>1.  While visiting an inn near the school, a pretty young girl approaches Lennox, knowing that he is a magician, and asks him to cast some reasonably difficult spell, within his capacity but still not easily accomplished, for her (that does not involve any crime or other sinister purpose).  This supplicant has but little money and nearly nothing in the way of goods, but she offers the use of her body to him in return for the spell.<br/><br/>2.  Another winsome wench, this one either a faculty member or a staff person who works at the school, needs help with getting things down from high places.  Not only is Lennox tall, where she is somewhat short, but he has telekinesis too.  This is needed in the storerooms of the academy, where various magical items are stored.  During the process, Len has to move some magical item which, without his expectation, gives him insight into this girl's thoughts -- she has brought him here partly because she hopes he will try to seduce her.  Armed with this knowledge, he does so, though with some feelings of guilt because he has, however accidentally, learned of her wishes in a way that he considers unscrupulous, despite his lack of bad intent.  Perhaps this could be the beginning of an ongoing relationship?<br/><br/>3.  Len has found an old recipe and has whipped up a batch of love potions, which he takes to a party held amongst the student body.  Of course they're really more lust potions than love potions, and Len tells people what they are.  Those that choose to drink them will lose most or all of their inhibitions, and if more than two or three people drink them, an orgy develops, with people freely taking partners outside of established relationships and distinctions between faculty and student disappearing.<br/><br/>Homeland (Name, Description):<br/><br/>Lennox comes from Dunverness, a Scottish flavored place far to the WNW and considered a cultural backwater by anybody with any breeding or distinction.  The Dunn are a warlike people noted for their craftsmanship and the quality of their livestock.  One's word is important among the Dunn, but so is being canny enough to know the rare time to break it to the best advantage.<br/><br/>Race (Name, Description): (if non-standard fantasy race or altered standard - for instance a Qualinesti Elf [Krynn] would count as altered standard)<br/><br/>Human.  Celtic, to be more specific.<br/><br/>Notes: (As needed to describe entourages, familiars, etc.)<br/><br/>Lennox is a younger son of a younger son of the laird, who is in his seventies.  Len's father, Kennoch, is not expected to succeed his father, but events might transpire so that he does.  (Not in my plans.)"

While she amiable and friendly she has a stubborn streak in her and whe she feel threatened or abused can grow angry and abusive.<br/><br/><strong>Background: </strong><br/>Donna is ayoung adult of a people who have a life span of about twice human. They grow to adulthood at human normal and then begin to age more slowly. It is a cultural custom among the slan that each of the undergo a rite of passage and that this passage be e in a foreign land where they are isolated from trianian society. At age 19 all young Slan enter a ‘survial course’ and then at twenty are moved through portals to selected spots in the multiverse.

Triania has three major races. The Slan (see below), The selkie and the Golems. The land is ruled by three monarchs (called naturally the Triarchs) and all the races have technologies similar to earths. While all race have all the magic talents each by custom has come to specialize in a separate area. The Golem have specialized in enchantment and  Alchemy. The selkie specialize in healing and, controlling animals and shape shifting. The Slan in Portal magic, communication and illusion.<br/>Race  The Slan like the other two races of Triania are descended from Humans but are not human. They look very much the same but are no longer capable of interbreeding at any level. The can interbreed with the other two races but the offspring are steril. Still enough of the physical signals of humans and Slan are the same that they can have and enjoy sex with each other. The Slan are natural telepaths though this power is mostly limited to use amongst them. None the less they can read and send surface thoughts (The silent words) of those around them. This ability increases in effectiveness and range with familiarity with the subject.  The Slan have long been interested in the discovery and manipulation of portals ands the in-between place and their “trods”. It should be emphasized however that they are limited to finding and using existing portals and these portals often lead to some very odd and dangerous places. Finaly true masters among the slan practice the art of illusion.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Donna seeks a magical equivalent of a liberal arts degree.

His chosen clothing is generally a loincloth and leather bandolieres to hold his tools of trade, pouches and assorted belongings. Hidden behind the brutish exterior, however, is a highly intelligent young wizard apprentice who chooses to cultivate the image of an uncivilized barbarian to put his opposition off guard: even when speaking the uncouth pidgin belonging to the image he projects, his wit is sharp, his intellect keen and his arguments penetrating.<br/>Gharrek's particular magical interests are in the areas of mind and body control - specifically, he's utilizing scents to his advantage. His sense of smell is far above average and he has learned to not just pick up ""regular"" aromas, but also pheromones, and thus is often able to analyze their effects on his emotions, drives and general state of being; going from there, he has begun delving into how such aromas affect the world around him, both nose-blind races and those with as keen a sense of smell as himself, and how to use magic to create such effects. Secondary to that, he's interested in magic than can be used in combat, and has mostly concentrated on Air and Water elemental effects there - both can be used for attack and defense, and are far less tiring than the more focused disciplines of fire (attack) and earth (defense).<br/><br/>Personality:<br/><br/>Gharrek is, for all his intelligence and training, a creature driven very much by its instincts. He's passionate, temperamental, spirited and while he often tries to restrain these traits, they tend to get the better of him at the most inopportune times - such as a surge of aggression at the smell and sight of blood, or an urge to mate when he smells a girl's body responding to the sight of his muscles and movement.<br/><br/>Background:<br/><br/>Gharrek doesn't have much of a background yet - his parents are both dead, fallen in some raid or another that is so common to both his people. Gharrek himself grew up in the care of the tribe's shaman, running away as soon as he expected to be able to survive on his own to avoid the circle of violence among his people. He joined the wizard's academy 5 years ago and has since proven to be a very astute student, although held back by the fact that his particular interests in applying magic were uncommon enough to force him to do his own research instead of being taught.<br/><br/>Non-Magical Strengths/Weaknesses:<br/><br/>Keen sense of smell, highly intelligent, strong like the proverbial ogre. His primary weakness is also that sense of smell - he's ruled by his nose, he knows it, but no matter what he tries, instinct tends to take over on certain aromas affecting the subconscious.<br/><br/>Magical Areas (Ratings):<br/><br/>Body Control 4<br/>Mind Control 4<br/>Water 2<br/>Air 2<br/>Communication/Empathy 2<br/><br/>Game Limits: Site Rules, heterosexual<br/><br/>Specific Fantasies (3):<br/><br/>Gharrek's fantasies aren't generally sexual - probably because he generally causes more-or-less-guilty arousal in most women who lay eyes on him anyway, and thus rarely is wanting for sex. Those he does have are having a harem and free choice of partners and having sex with a woman comfortable with her desires.<br/><br/>Homeland (Name, Description):<br/><br/>Gharrek hails from a mountain range far north, just a few days travel from the beginning of the polar icecap. The mountains have no name this far south; to Gharrek's tribe, they are the Spine of the World. They are a harsh, unforgiving land, frozen solid most of the time and cold for the rest. Its population consists largely of human, orc, goblin, hobgoblin and ogre tribes eking out a living among the peaks and valleys of this inhospitable land."

John Ross © 1993-2001<br/><br/>Visit http://risus.cumberlandgames.com to download this game in other formats!<br/><br/>Risus is a complete Role Playing Game (RPG) designed to provide an ""RPG Lite"" for those nights when the brain is too tired for exacting detail. Risus is especially valuable to GMs assembling a quick convention game, or any late-night beer-and-pretzels outing. While it is essentially a Universal Comedy System, it works just as well for serious play (if you insist!). Best of all, a Risus character takes about 20 seconds to create!<br/><br/>CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE<br/><br/>Inspiration for the nature of this game comes largely from the sadly out-of-print classic, Ghostbusters, from West End Games, sparked against an idea (Clichés) from DC Heroes. The final shape and form of the game was inspired by Over the Edge, from Atlas Games. Other RPGs (most notably GURPS, FUDGE and Tunnels and Trolls), have also provided valuable inspiration. Many friends, fellow gamers, total strangers on the street, and others have provided useful commentary as the game has developed, including Dan ""Moose"" Jasman, Frank J. Perricone, Jason Puckett, David Pulver, Sean ""Dr. Kromm"" Punch, and the gamers on the Risus internet mailing list.<br/><br/>CHARACTER CREATION!<br/><br/>Characters are defined by Clichés (sometimes several of them). Clichés are a shorthand which describe what a character knows how to do. The ``character classes'' of the Neolithic Period of RPGs were Clichés: Fighter and Magic-User, Space Marine and Star Merchant. You can take Clichés like that, or choose a more contemporary one, such as Biker, Spy, Computer Nerd, Supermodel, or William Shatner (formerly an actor - now just a Cliché). Which Clichés are permitted are up to the GM.<br/><br/>Clichés are defined in terms of Dice (by which we mean the ordinary six-sided kind you can scavenge from your old Yahtzee set). This is the number of dice that you roll whenever your skill as a Fighter, Supermodel, or William Shatner (for instance) is challenged. See ``Game System,'' below. Three dice is professional. Six dice is mastery. One die is a putz.<br/><br/>Characters are created by naming and describing them, and listing their Clichés. When designing your character, you have 10 dice with which to define his Clichés (a Normal Schmoe would be built on anywhere from 3 to 5 dice). A straightforward medieval fighter character might look like this:<br/><br/>Grolfnar Vainsson the Viking<br/>Description: Tall, blond, and grinning. Likes to drink and fight and drink and chase Viking women and fight and sail the high seas and raid.Wants to write great sagas about himself.<br/>Clichés: Viking (4), Womanizer (2), Gambler (3), Poet (1)<br/><br/>A character may have any number or combination of Clichés, but more than 10 different Clichés would be odd, considering the number of dice you get. Characters shouldn't begin their career with more than 4 dice in anything, but just because you're creating a character today doesn't mean that he's beginning his career! The GM will tell you if he's requiring ``beginners'' for the game. It's not our business.<br/><br/>SOME SAMPLE CLICHÉS (AND WHAT THEY'RE GOOD FOR)<br/>Astronaut (Piloting spaceships, not puking in zero-gee)<br/>Barbarian (Beating things up, drinking, whoring, grunting, sweating)<br/>Biker (Riding Harley, brawling, being Invisible to other motorists)<br/>Bimbo (Available in both genders. Distracting, teasing, not teasing...)<br/>Computer Geek (Hacking, programming, fumbling over introductions)<br/>Con Artist (Convincing other people to give you money, evading cops)<br/>Cowboy (Ridin', ropin', brandin', spittin', and shootin')<br/>Fighter Pilot (Dogfighting, not blacking out at high-Gs, bragging)<br/>Gadgeteer (Building a radar out of a bent fork and some gum)<br/>Gambler (Betting, cheating, winning, running very fast)<br/>Gangster (Shooting, speaking with an accent, intimidation)<br/>Geezer (Wheezin', cursin', bitter reminiscin', failin' to understand kids)<br/>Hairdresser (Dressing hair. If anything.)<br/>Kid (Being a sidekick to heroes, making friends with Giant Monsters)<br/>Knight (Riding, lancing, sword-swinging, heraldry, being chaste)<br/>Latin Lover (Seducing, loving, running from irate husbands)<br/>Mad Scientist (Raving, world-domination, trying to play God, cackling)<br/>Martial Artist (Fancy hand-to-hand combat, out-of-synch speech)<br/>Magician (Palming things, sawing ladies in half, public speaking)<br/>Sorcerer (Spellcasting, demon-summoning, speaking in gibberish)<br/>Novelist (Drinking, brawling, cut-rate world traveling, introspection)<br/>Olympic Athlete (Running, swimming, jumping, skiing, javelin-tossing)<br/>Outdoorsman (Following tracks, building shelters, finding wild food)<br/>Policeman (Eating donuts, writing tickets, shooting civilians)<br/>Poltergeist (Being dead, throwing things, scaring people)<br/>Soldier (Shooting, hiding, partying, catching venereal diseases)<br/>Special Forces (Following orders, looking stern, following orders)<br/>Swashbuckler (Stabbing things, swinging from ropes, sailing, romance)<br/>Thief (Sneakin' around gaining access and objects they shouldn't have)<br/>Vampire (Charming people, sucking blood, turning into mist or bats)<br/>Other Kind of Vampire (Self-pity, erotic blood poetry, wearing black)<br/><br/><br/>These are just examples to get you started - players should feel free to make up their own Clichés (subject to GM approval). In particular, Note that the GM will require the ""fine tuning"" of any Cliché that he considers too broad. If the game is about sorcerers (for example), then ""sorcerer"" becomes too all-encompassing for the game, and Clichés like necromancer, mentalist, fire-wizard and wise woman are more the order of the day.<br/><br/>THE GAME SYSTEM<br/><br/>Whenever anybody wants to do something, and nobody is actively trying to stop him, AND the GM doesn't think that success would be automatic, the player rolls dice. If the total rolled beats (equals or exceeds) the Target Number the GM sets, success! If not, failure!<br/><br/><br/>Target numbers follow this scale:<br/>5: A cinch. A snap. A challenge for a Schmuck. Routine for a pro.<br/>10: A challenge for a Professional.<br/>15: An Heroic challenge. For really inventive or tricky stunts.<br/>20: A challenge for a Master. Nearly superhuman difficulty.<br/>30: You've GOT to be Kidding. Actual superhuman difficulty.<br/><br/>This can be subjective, and anybody can try anything: Crossing a chasm by swinging on a rope, vine or something similar would be child's play (automatic success!) for a Swashbuckler or a Lord of the Jungle, easy (Difficulty 5) for a Pulp Archaeologist, and challenging but definitely doable (Difficulty 10) for a Gymnast, Barbarian, or Thief. Even a Wheelchair-Bound Eccentric Occultist could try it (Difficulty 15, but the wheelchair is lost unless the roll beats a 30)!<br/><br/>PROPER TOOLS<br/><br/>Every character is assumed to be equipped with the Tools of His Trade (at least the portable ones). Warriors are wearing armor and wielding good weapons. Cowboys have leather chaps, lasoo, a couple of pearl-handled six-guns and some chaw. Netrunners have an expensive jack-in laptop and funny clothes.<br/><br/>If, through the course of an adventure, a character LOSES any of these vital totems, his Cliché operates on half the normal number of dice (or not at all, if the GM rules that the equipment was REQUIRED) until they are replaced.<br/><br/>A Barbarian(5), for instance, can fight without his sword as a Barbarian(3), but a Netrunner can't run the net without his cyberdeck. If the Netrunner manages to find another computer to play with besides the kind he's used to, he can operate at half-dice.<br/><br/>Some special tools (magic wands, hot-off-the-line military cyberdecks, and so on) may give bonus dice to your Clichés when used. Characters never begin the game with bonus-dice gear; they must be acquired in adventures.<br/><br/>THE COMBAT SYSTEM<br/><br/>``Combat'' in this game is defined as any contest in which opponents jockey for position, utilize attacks, bring defenses to bear, and try to wear down their foes to achieve victory. Either literally or metaphorically! Some examples of combat include:<br/><br/>ARGUMENTS: People using whatever verbal weapons they have at hand to make their points. Truth is the first casualty.<br/>HORSE-RACING: People on horses running around and around a dirty track, trying to get nowhere first.<br/>DOGFIGHTS: People in airplanes or spaceships flying around and trying to blow each other out of the sky.<br/>ASTRAL/PSYCHIC DUELS: Mystics/psionics looking bored or asleep, but trying to rip one another's egos apart in the Otherworld.<br/>WIZARD'S DUELS: Sorcerers using strange magics and trying to outdo the other.<br/>DUELING BANJOS: Banjo players using strange melodies and trying to outdo the other.<br/>SEDUCTION ATTEMPTS: One (or more) characters trying to score with one (or more) other character(s) who is(are) trying to resist.<br/>COURTROOM ANTICS: Prosecution vs. Defense. The goal is victory. Justice is incidental.<br/>ACTUAL PHYSICAL COMBAT: People trying to injure or kill each other.<br/><br/>The GM decides when a combat has begun. At that point, go around the table in rounds, and let each combatant make an attack in turn. What constitutes an ``attack'' depends on the sort of combat, but it should ALWAYS be roleplayed (if dialogue is involved) or described in entertaining detail (if it's physical and/or dangerous and/or normally requires contraceptives).<br/><br/>Attacks require rolls against character Clichés. The GM must, at the outset of combat, determine what TYPE of Clichés are appropriate for the fight. In a physical fight, Clichés like Viking, Barbarian, Soldier, Swashbuckler, and Novelist are appropriate. Clichés like Hairdresser and Latin Lover are not (but may still be used; see next section).<br/><br/>An attack must be directed at a foe. Both parties in the attack (attacker and defender) roll against their chosen Cliché. Low roll loses. Specifically, the low roller loses one of his Cliché dice for the remainder of the fight - he's been weakened, worn down, or otherwise pushed one step towards defeat. In future rounds, he'll be rolling lower numbers.<br/><br/>Eventually, one side will be left standing, and another will be left without dice. At this point, the winners usually decide the fate of the losers. In a physical fight or magical duel, the losers might be killed (or mercifully spared). In Courtroom Antics, the loser gets sentenced by the judge, or fails to prosecute. In a Seduction, the loser gets either a cold shower or a warm evening, depending on who wins.<br/><br/>You needn't use the same Cliché every round. If a Viking/Swashbuckler wants to lop heads one round, and swing on chandeliers the next, that's groovy, too. However, anytime a character has a Cliché worn down to zero dice in combat, he has lost, even if he has other appropriate Clichés left to play with.<br/><br/>Dice lost in combat are regained when the combat ends, at a ""healing"" rate determined by the GM. If the combat was in vehicles (space fighters, mecha, wooden sailing ships) then the vehicles themselves are likely damaged, too, and must be repaired.<br/><br/>INAPPROPRIATE CLICHÉS<br/><br/>As stated above, the GM determines what sort of Clichés are appropriate for any given combat. An INAPPROPRIATE Cliché is anything that's left . . . In a physical fight, Hairdresser is inappropriate. In a Wizard's duel, Barbarian is inappropriate.<br/><br/>Inappropriate Clichés may be used to make attacks, PROVIDED THE PLAYER ROLEPLAYS OR DESCRIBES IT IN A REALLY, REALLY, REALLY ENTERTAINING MANNER. Furthermore, the ``attack'' must be plausible within the context of the combat, and the genre and tone that the GM has set for the game. This option is more valuable in silly games than in dead-serious ones.<br/><br/>All combat rules apply normally, with one exception: If an inappropriate Cliché wins a combat round versus an appropriate one, the ``appropriate'' player loses THREE dice, rather than one, from his Cliché! The ``inappropriate'' player takes no such risk, and loses only the normal one die if he loses the round.<br/><br/>Thus, a skilled hairdresser is dangerous when cornered and attacked unfairly. Beware.<br/><br/>When in doubt, assume that the aggressor determines the type of combat. If a wizard attacks a barbarian with magic, then it's a Wizard's duel! If the barbarian attacks the mage with his sword, then it's Physical Combat! If the defender can come up with an entertaining use of his skills, then he'll have the edge. It pays in many genres to be the defender!<br/><br/>Note: If the wizard and barbarian both obviously want to fight, then both are aggressors, and it's ""Fantasy Combat,"" where both swords and sorcery have equal footing.<br/><br/>TEAMING UP<br/><br/>Two or more characters may decide to form a TEAM in combat. For the duration of the team (usually the entire combat), they fight as a single unit, and are attacked as a single foe. There are two kinds of teams: Player-Character teams and NPC teams (""Grunt Squads."")<br/><br/>Grunt-Squads: This is just special effects. When you want the heroes to be attacked by a horde of 700 rat-skeletons inside the lair of the Wicked Necromancer(5), but don't feel like keeping track of 700 little skeletal sets of dice, just declare that they're a team, fighting as Skeletal Rat-Horde(7). Mechanically, the Rat-Horde is the same as any other single foe - except it has more dice! Grunt-Squads can have any level of cliché the GM feels is appropriate. Grunt-Squads stick together as a team until they're defeated, at which point many survivors will scatter (though at least one will always remain to suffer whatever fate the victor decides).<br/><br/>Player-Character Teams: When PCs (or PCs and their NPC allies) form a team, the ""Team Leader"" is defined by the highest-ranking Cliché in the team (a title that must be designated if there is a tie). Everybody rolls dice, but the Team Leader's dice all count. Other Team Members contribute only their sixes (if the Funky Dice option is used, Team Members may contribute their single highest die-roll above six, or their sixes, their choice). Team members who roll nothing above five don't contribute anything to the Team Leader's total for that roll.<br/><br/>Clichés joined in a team need not be identical, but they all must be equally appropriate or inappropriate. This means five Vikings could band together in physical fight with no problem. It also means that a Hairdresser, a Parakeet Trainer, and a Career Counselor could team up in a physical fight if they have a REALLY good description of how they'll use their skills in concert to take out the Vikings!<br/><br/>Whenever a team loses a round of combat, a single team-member's dice is reduced by one (or three!) as per the normal combat rules. Any team member may ""step forward"" and voluntarily take this personal ""damage"" to his dice. If this happens, the noble volunteer is reduced by twice the normal amount (either two dice or six!), and the team leader gets to roll twice as many dice on his next attack, a temporary boost as the team avenges their heroic comrade. If no volunteer steps forward, then each member must roll against the Cliché they're using as part of the team: Low-roll takes the (undoubled) hit, and there is no ""vengeance"" bonus.<br/><br/>Disbanding: A team may voluntarily disband at any time between die-rolls. This reduces the Cliché each team-member was using in the team by one, instantly (not a permanent reduction - treat it just like ""damage"" taken from losing a round of combat). Disbanded team-members may freely form new teams, provided the disbanding ""damage"" doesn't take them out of the fight. Individuals may also ""drop out"" of a team, but this reduces them to zero dice immediately as they scamper for the rear. Their fates rest on the mercy of whoever wins the fight!<br/><br/>Lost Leader: If the team leader ever leaves the team for any reason (either by dropping out or by having his personal dice reduced to zero), every member of the team immediately takes one die of ""damage"" as if the team had disbanded (since, without a leader, they've done exactly that). They may immediately opt to reform as a new team (with a new leader) however, and if the old leader was removed by volunteering for personal damage, the new team leader gets the double-roll vengeance bonus to avenge his predecessor!<br/><br/>CONFLICTS THAT AREN'T COMBAT<br/><br/>Many conflicts that arise in the game cannot be defined as ``combat;'' they're over too quickly, defined by a single action. A classic pistol-duel isn't combat - the two duelists simply turn and fire, and then it's all over. Two characters diving to grab the same gun from the floor isn't combat. Two cooks preparing chili for a cookoff isn't combat; there's no ``wearing down of the foe'' and no jockeying for position.<br/><br/>Such ``single-action conflicts'' are settled with a single roll against appropriate Clichés (or inappropriate Clichés, with good roleplaying). High roll wins.<br/><br/>WHEN SOMEBODY CAN'T PARTICIPATE<br/><br/>It will often occur that characters will find themselves involved in a Combat or quicker conflict where they simply have no applicable Clichés, even by stretching the imagination. Or maybe ONE character will have an appropriate Cliché, while the others feel left out. An example might be a pie-eating contest. One character was wise (or foolish) enough to take ``Disgusting Glutton(2)'' as a Cliché. The other characters are astronauts or accountants, neither of which traditionally engorge themselves on pie.<br/><br/>In situations like this, give everybody two free dice to play with, for the duration of the conflict. This INCLUDES characters who already HAVE appropriate Clichés. In the example above, the astronauts and accountants would get Pie-Eating(2), while the Disgusting Glutton would be temporarily increased to Disgusting Glutton(4). The Glutton, naturally, still has the winning edge, but anyone can TRY to eat lots of pie. This ``temporary promotion'' applies only in opposed conflicts, not in challenges based on Target Numbers.<br/><br/>A WORD OR TWO ABOUT SCALE<br/><br/>No standard time or distance scale is provided for Risus; it really depends on what kind of action is happening. However, the GM should try to stay consistent within a single conflict. In a physical fight, each round represents a few seconds. In a long-term fight between a married couple, each round might represent an entire Day (Day one: Husband ``accidentally'' burns wife's favorite dress in the oven, Wife ``accidentally'' feeds Drano to Husband's prize goldfish, and so on until there is a victor).<br/><br/>CHARACTER ADVANCEMENT<br/><br/>At the end of each adventure, each player should roll against every Cliché that was used significantly during the game (using their current number of dice). If the dice land showing only even numbers, this indicates an increase by one die for that Cliché. Thus, advancement slows down as you go. No Cliché may go higher than Cliché(6), although if Pumping is allowed (see below), they can be pumped past (6).<br/><br/>Anytime you do something really, really, really spectacularly entertaining that wows the whole table, the GM may rule that you may roll instantly (in the middle of the game!) for possible improvement, in addition to the roll at the end of the adventure.<br/><br/>Adding New Clichés: There may come a time when a character has grown and matured enough to justify adding an entirely new Cliché to his character sheet. If the player and GM agree this is the case, and agree on what the new Cliché is, the player rolls for Character Advancement as usual, but any of the new dice earned may be put toward the new Cliché instead of the ones that earned them. This can also be applied to ""in-game"" improvements, if the situation warrants it!<br/><br/>ADVANCED OPTION: HOOKS and TALES<br/><br/>Normally, a character is created using 10 dice. With this Advanced Option, players can bargain for extra beginning dice by giving their character a Hook and/or a Tale.<br/><br/>A Hook is some signifigant character flaw - an obsession, a weakness, a sworn vow, a permanently crippling injury - that the GM agrees is so juicy that he can use it to make the characters life more interesting (which usually means less pleasant). A character with a Hook gets an extra die to play with.<br/><br/>A Tale is a written ""biography"" of the character describing his life before the events of the game begin. The Tale needn't be long (two or three pages is usually just fine); it just needs to tell the reader where the character is coming from, what he likes and dislikes, how he became who he is, what his motives are. Some Tales are best written from the player's omniscient perspective; others are more fun if written as excerpts from the character's own diary. A character with a Tale provided before gameplay begins gets an extra die to play with.<br/><br/><br/>"

For every die over 3 dice in a physically demanding or combat cliche' you add 1 Hit Point.<br/><br/>How this works if you win a dice roll with another person in a fight you inflict 1 Hit Point of Damage. If you beat their roll by 10 you do 2 Hit Points of Damage. Thats it.

It was always held at this time. It was always held in Orlane. Orlane was a small village on the northern shores of Asgon Lake, about a four-day ride southwest of Westchester in southwestern Narvaria. It was actually situated on a large stream that ran out of the Ice Peak Mountains and towards the lake. The village sat in the shadows of the mighty Ice Peak Mountains, which were a smaller range connected to the Whitefangs.<br/><br/>Orlane was a peaceful place, and was pastoral, mainly concerned with farming and some minor logging that occured in the forests and moutains nearby. However, given the reputation of parts of the Ice Peaks, those activities were kept to a minimum. Tales spoke of things that were better off left alone in the old, majestic woods that covered the foothills, and more than one band of fools calling themselves adventurers had passed through Orlane, seeking glory and treasure under the canopy, only to never be heard from again.<br/><br/>Legends of the dwarven kingdoms that once permeated the mountains were numerous, as those of the fallen elven realms that had been scattered in the woodlands realms as well.<br/><br/>Every year, starting on the 16th of July, Orlane held a Summer Festival. Local merchants and citizens would ply their wares, and people came from the region to do the same. Invitations and tales of what to expect at the current year's festival would spread weeks in advance.<br/><br/>However, that hasn't happened this year. No one outside of Orlane has heard much about the place.<br/><br/>One thing is for sure. There hasn't been any mention of the Festival."

I wanted to lay down a few ground rules that you must abide on this portion of the game.<br/><br/>1) This game is<span class=""bbc_u""><strong>not</strong></span>sexual in any form whatsoever, so if you're seeking that. Seek elsewhere.<br/><br/>2) An expanded portion of above, but do not create sexual based characters or characters inclined to have sex. You will not be able to.<br/><br/>3) The only No Consent portion of this game is a simple thing known as violence. I do not expect players to fight one another, but the majority of NPCs will be in fact antagonistical. I am not going to play favorites here, so, if you screw up. You're ass is grass, to crassly put it.<br/><br/>4)This game uses the (New) The World of Darkness Core Rules but is not set within The World of Darkness (Mortals only, no Vampires, Werewolves or anything of the like).<br/><br/>5) The game is composed of normal people as well, so, I'd expect no super soldiers and such.<br/><br/>6) Lastly, the setting and overview of this game in short is this: ""This is a survival horror when the unexpected happened. The dead just won't stay dead. The living dead stalk the streets in search of human flesh to sate their unwholesome desires and spread the disease/virus....and you're stuck right in the mix of this hell, normal, every day people. Will you survive or will you die trying?"""

Playing a cleric requires that the player understand that by being a divine servant, they are an agent of their Patron, and they are to work on the mortal world for their deity, and are to pursue the goals of their deity.<br/><br/>Clerics are not placed on the mortal world to be vessels for healing or to serve as walking infirmaries. A cleric should believe wholeheartedly in the dogma and doctrine of their patron, and should strive to promote this as they work, and should strive to always live up to the ideals presented to them in the teachings and workings of their respective gods. To a cleric, the religion is their life and the must spread that 'life' across Faerun. A cleric does not reward those who do not at least work with them on their goals, and certainly does not aid those opposed to their god, their god's views or the achievement of the goals set forth by their church.<br/><br/>A cleric of Tunea, for instance, would charge for their services, seeing as how she is the god of Merchants and Commerce.<br/><br/>A cleric of Kos would refuse to heal comrades who cowered from a fight. Those who fought and had to retreat are different, as they at least aided and tried.<br/><br/>Those are but two examples.<br/><br/>I expect everyone who plays a cleric to follow their faith to the letter, even if it conflicts with others, because what good is it to profess faith in a deity if you can't honestly play the concept correctly?"

Of course I could take the Feat EXTRA WILD SHAPE or just keep a favored animal form and master Feats to make it efficient like FLYBY ATTACK for favored forms being Birds of Prey for those occasional moments. For example at Level 6 she would have Wild Shape 1x a Day and Greater Wild Shape 1x a Day. She can ALWAYS choose to convert the Wild Shape to its Greater version.<br/><br/>Anyway to counter her effects you would have to target her area with the spell for some forms very tricky and be strong enough to counter her level, not easy. And not all spells would be effective for example for an Antimagic Zone there are monsters with ranged attacks like Manticores she could become or be a large winged monster and drop huge rocks on an enemy or other tactics.

comentary.)<br/><br/>Daughter of Fenton O'bannon, a wandering minstril and harpist, intelegent and skilled at music, but not quite a Bard (in the D&D sense), Fenton nonetheless attracted the attention of a red haired lass who wasn't entirly mortal, perhaps an Aasimar with the blood of Brigitte's servatns in her viens.  She gave the name Sorsha and had tricollor eyes like flames, blue within, yielding to red, then to gold.  She bore him a daughter, then left when the girl was weaned, leading Fenton to name her for her mother.  Her eyes were the vivid, luminous blue of heartfire, and otherwise she looked more like her mother than her father, save for standing a bit taller and broader, with shoulders to match her femenine hips and busty chest.<br/><br/>Born to music and the road, sorsha was nonetheless a nurturing soul.  Maturing quickly, she took over the tasks of tentkeeping for her father, learning to cook and clean and more or less mothering the bemused, aging minstril.  She loved her father very much, learning from the ways of music, of spear and dagger, and, through observation, flirtation and they way it was both shared pleasure and a way of bringing out the bold and great in a shy person.<br/><br/>Coming of age tender hearted but with no long term friends save for her father and their dog, Jack, Sorsha became a rather wild flirt and dancer, coming to apreciate the kiss and cuddle of short term trysts and, more importantly, learning that, despite being a bit clumsy, her combination of beauty and celebrity had the power to insipire.  She saught out the tender hearted and the shy while in a town and devoted her weeks their to bringing them out of their shells<br/><br/>This was her first encounter with what Briggitte asked of her in return for her gifts, though she still didn't quite realize she was using Briggitte's gifts.  The animals and bruises she tended healed fully, likewise with the cloth she mended.<br/><br/>One day, not so long ago, Sorsha learned that Briggitte asked more of her than she was ever prepared for, and offered more power in return than she she had ever imagined wielding.<br/><br/>They came to a town near, but not on the frontier of it's nation, that was in mourning, but that broke into a rejoicing cry to see her.<br/><br/>Confused by the sudden impromptu parade, Briggitte's warm and hopeful heart was siezed with dread as she was carried to the one inn with her father and the two were presented wtih the richest meal the village could prepare.  The village's priest, an ancient man, weapt as he sat down next to her, ""You've come, chosen one.  I've had images of you all my life, and crafted the statue in the church in your likeness, but didn't know it was true 'til I saw you.  I'm sorry that you've only come

needed.""<br/><br/>Briggitte swallowed hard, and whispered with dread curiosity what strength she could have to offer.<br/><br/>Imediatly people began to cry out for her to save theri daugthers and liberate their village, but the priest drove them away, and took her and her aged father into the temple, where she saw a suit of scale mail and a set of spears made by the village smith adorning a beautiful statue...<br/><br/>Of brigitte?<br/><br/>Or of her?<br/><br/>The statue had her cuvers, her face, but strength of charecter, sadness and hope she thought she might never see.  Sorsha reached out to touch the statues face and wondered if she could ever achieve such beauty.<br/><br/>The elder priest spent a week teaching her all he could of how to harness the celestial power within her through prayer to Brigitte, but only when the twelve goblins came to the city gate to demand another tribute in food, gold, and girls, and suddenly Sorsha's fear turned to righteous rage did she find an answer when she prayed.  Donning the armor and letting her hair fall loose behind it as she settled the leather helm over her head, Sorsha prayed to Briggitte for strength as she stormed out around the goblins, singing to the lady of fire.  She blasted the goblins with fire, then lay about her with her spear, strong enough to strike down four of the goblins before their maces drove ehr first to her knees, and then drove conciousness from her body.  She sang a final prayer as she fell, and the jeering goblins huanted her weakned form as they killed beat the life from her dog's body, though he blooded the remaining goblins as well.<br/><br/>Just as the desparing vilagers prepared an apologetic tribute, the strenght of Briggite's magic mended enough of her wounds taht she rose up again and struck at the goblins once more, 'til only she and their king remained.<br/><br/>The goblin king smothe her on the head and carried her limp and exhausted body back to his cavern encampent.<br/><br/>She woke in the goblin king's harem, surounded by four other battered girls, obvisouly pregnant.  There the last of the goblins explained to her that the Army had destroyed all in the goblin city but those she and her dog had destroyed, but now that she was his concubine, he would take the power in her blood for his sons and daughters and make of them a new generation to take their vengence upon the king.<br/><br/>He ravished her for three night's running, trying with tender touches to win her over, and as she weapt in the night and prayed to Brigitte to deny her once virgin womb to this creature, it came to her that she could destroy him only by pretending to be conquered.<br/><br/>On the third night, when he ravished her, she cried in defiance, then in surender, and then arched her back and screamed as the goblin spilled his seed into her.  Apologising feebly for her defiance, she pleged her heart and body to thegoblins service, and kissed him seductivly, asking him to accept her love.  When the golbin lay back to enjoy her tender minstrations, she took the member with whihc he'd violated her and bit it off.<br/><br/>Thus was the goblin king's reign of terror ended by Sorsha and the village liberated.  They granted her father a home, and to herself they bequeathed the arms and armor and the beautiful gold-leafed and masterfuly crafted harp from the temple, where she would always have a home.<br/><br/>She spent some weeks weeping in the arms of her father, but by the time spring came her resielent spriit, though scarred forever as we must all be by the trauma's of life, was filled with new hope, and new pride, and new life, and a willignness to love again.<br/><br/>Brigitte had called her though, and she packed up the harp to play when she could, and donned the copper-guilded armor, whose scales were flames in the dawn light, and fought to learn to dance with spears, daggers, and gauntlets, so that next time she was needed she would triumph through force of arms and divine power alone."

COMPANION<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>HISTORY / BACKGROUND<br/>Daughter of Fenton O'bannon, a wandering minstril and harpist, intelegent and skilled at music, but not quite a Bard (in the D&amp;D sense), Fenton nonetheless attracted the attention of a red haired lass who wasn't entirly mortal, perhaps an Aasimar with the blood of Brigitte's servatns in her viens.  She gave the name Sorsha and had tricollor eyes like flames, blue within, yielding to red, then to gold.  She bore him a daughter, then left when the girl was weaned, leading Fenton to name her for her mother.  Her eyes were the vivid, luminous blue of heartfire, and otherwise she looked more like her mother than her father, save for standing a bit taller and broader, with shoulders to match her femenine hips and busty chest.  <br/><br/>Born to music and the road, sorsha was nonetheless a nurturing soul.  Maturing quickly, she took over the tasks of tentkeeping for her father, learning to cook and clean and more or less mothering the bemused, aging minstril.  She loved her father very much, learning from the ways of music, of spear and dagger, and, through observation, flirtation and they way it was both shared pleasure and a way of bringing out the bold and great in a shy person.  <br/><br/>Coming of age tender hearted but with no long term friends save for her father and their dog, Jack, Sorsha became a rather wild flirt and dancer, coming to apreciate the kiss and cuddle of short term trysts and, more importantly, learning that, despite being a bit clumsy, her combination of beauty and celebrity had the power to insipire.  She saught out the tender hearted and the shy while in a town and devoted her weeks their to bringing them out of their shells <br/><br/>This was her first encounter with what Briggitte asked of her in return for her gifts, though she still didn't quite realize she was using Briggitte's gifts.  The animals and bruises she tended healed fully, likewise with the cloth she mended.  <br/><br/>One day, not so long ago, Sorsha learned that Briggitte asked more of her than she was ever prepared for, and offered more power in return than she she had ever imagined wielding.  <br/><br/>They came to a town near, but not on the frontier of it's nation, that was in mourning, but that broke into a rejoicing cry to see her.  <br/><br/>Confused by the sudden impromptu parade, Briggitte's warm and hopeful heart was siezed with dread as she was carried to the one inn with her father and the two were presented wtih the richest meal the village could prepare.  The village's priest, an ancient man, weapt as he sat down next to her, ""You've come, chosen one.  I've had images of you all my life, and crafted the statue in the church in your likeness, but didn't know it was true 'til I saw you.  I'm sorry that you've only come to my village now that I'm to old to serve you better, or instruct you more, and that I could only persuade my parish to prepare for your coming now that your strength is so sorely needed.""  <br/><br/>Briggitte swallowed hard, and whispered with dread curiosity what strength she could have to offer.  <br/> <br/>Imediatly people began to cry out for her to save theri daugthers and liberate their village, but the priest drove them away, and took her and her aged father into the temple, where she saw a suit of scale mail and a set of spears made by the village smith adorning a beautiful statue...  <br/><br/>Of brigitte?  <br/><br/>Or of her?  <br/><br/>The statue had her cuvers, her face, but strength of charecter, sadness and hope she thought she might never see.  Sorsha reached out to touch the statues face and wondered if she could ever achieve such beauty.  <br/><br/>The elder priest spent a week teaching her all he could of how to harness the celestial power within her through prayer to Brigitte, but only when the twelve goblins came to the city gate to demand another tribute in food, gold, and girls, and suddenly Sorsha's fear turned to righteous rage did she find an answer when she prayed.  Donning the armor and letting her hair fall loose behind it as she settled the leather helm over her head, Sorsha prayed to Briggitte for strength as she stormed out around the goblins, singing to the lady of fire.  She blasted the goblins with fire, then lay about her with her spear, strong enough to strike down four of the goblins before their maces drove ehr first to her knees, and then drove conciousness from her body.  She

the desparing vilagers prepared an apologetic tribute, the strenght of Briggite's magic mended enough of her wounds taht she rose up again and struck at the goblins once more, 'til only she and their king remained.  <br/><br/>The goblin king smothe her on the head and carried her limp and exhausted body back to his cavern encampent.  <br/><br/>She woke in the goblin king's harem, surounded by four other battered girls, obvisouly pregnant.  There the last of the goblins explained to her that the Army had destroyed all in the goblin city but those she and her dog had destroyed, but now that she was his concubine, he would take the power in her blood for his sons and daughters and make of them a new generation to take their vengence upon the king.  <br/><br/>He ravished her for three night's

a home, and to herself they bequeathed the arms and armor and the beautiful gold-leafed and masterfuly crafted harp from the temple, where she would always have a home.  <br/><br/>She spent some weeks weeping in the arms of her father, but by the time spring came her resielent spriit, though scarred forever as we must all be by the trauma's of life, was filled with new hope, and new pride, and new

Barney,"Sorry folks and to the GM but I really don't want to play a druid they are too complicated as they get more powerful. I also would favor either a quiet support character like a simple Healer (cleric) but not sure if any deity will lets their clerics just heal anyone OR the burly female fighter with a big sword that likes a good fight and getting loot but not into higher motives but would help out if the fighting is good. In simple terms a character that is not a leader, seen as a hero (at least intentionally) and doesn't have to think much.<br/><br/>Simply put I don't like having to think much or have to solve problems just be good at something and useful.<br/><br/>"

I gave her the Domains of Renewal (has a nice blend of spells and a great power) and the Sun (another great power verses undead and evil creatures affected by Turn Undead). I'm focusing on Healing both without and with magic long term, after all not all ailments need magic and its not wise to waste the magic of her god on petty things. On the plus side she's going to be well-recieved almost anywhere where the powers that be are not evil, and yes all her things she wears and her staff will have Healers Markings of various cultures she wants people to know her vocation besides that of a cleric."

The young elf spent much of his early life in the warm of the<br/>forge, managing to avoid much of the hardship endured by the other families<br/>of the settlement who worked out on land, farming and hunting.<br/><br/>In the forge he applied himself to learning the skills needed in smithing, <br/>proving himself a natural at it. When he came of age to join the town milita, <br/>he spent many long weeks before hand in intensive work at the forge crafting <br/>himself a vest of chain links, the metal bought through his father's contacts <br/>with his own funds.<br/><br/>The years passed uneventfully into the twilight of the world's past. News <br/>came of humanity's endless wars and conflicts, but the townsfolk of Nulinor <br/>paid them little heed. They paid the human realm of Navaria that surrounded <br/>them little more than lip service as it was; they saw the happenings of man <br/>as little more than a distraction to their pursuits. Minimal amounts of <br/>trading were made with the local human towns and the nearby cities of Osgarik <br/>and Tallondale for much needed supplies of ores for crafting. Nulinor had <br/>survived everything that had been thrown at it in the last ten thousand <br/>years, and it was believed that it would outlive the upstart race of humanity <br/>by the more traditional inhabitants. It was whispered that the town's <br/>survival was written into history by the gods themselves and that it could <br/>not fall. <br/><br/>It was several months after the celebration of Alavae's 106th birthday that <br/>history was cheated. Out of the wilderness came a marauding tribe of orcs, <br/>it's ranks swelled for some unholy purpose. The first place they fell upon <br/>was Nulinor. The elves had expected the attack for several days and had <br/>prepared, but all their scryings and communing with the gods had failed to <br/>reveal to them the full size of the tribe until it fell upon them. <br/><br/>The ensuing battle raged for many long hours; mages threw gouts of flame into <br/>the swirling melee while the militia, including Alavae, fought tooth and nail <br/>against the orcs. Finally the orcs withdrew to move on, confident in their <br/>superiority. They left behind a ruined Nulinor. The bodies of elves and orcs <br/>littered the streets while buildings lay gutted and burning to ruins. A mere <br/>fraction of the population was left alive, with Alavae amongst them.<br/><br/>As the work slowly began on recovering the wounded for treatment and the <br/>bodies for burial, Alavae found his family amongst those who had fallen in <br/>the attack. Distraught by their loss and the horrible indignities the orcs <br/>had inflicted upon their bodies, Alavae withdrew from the community after the <br/>dead had been given a proper funeral. Closing down the forge, he stayed in <br/>his house, only getting by on what food his remaining cousin brought to him. <br/>Alavae stayed in meditation for days upon end, taking very little sleep in an <br/>attempt to understand how the tragedy could have happened. Finally as he was <br/>beginning to lose hope, he was visited by Labelas Enoreth, the Timeless <br/>Scholar of the Seldarine.<br/><br/>He told the young elf the attack was not meant for the village; that an evil <br/>power had perverted the true course of the history and cheated Alavae's <br/>people of their rightful future. He then offered him a chance to prevent the <br/>same thing from happening again; he would gift the young elf the power to <br/>protect the innocent any further corruption of the future. Alavae accepted <br/>readily; he would revere the memory of his family by protecting those who <br/>still lived from a similar fate.<br/><br/>Waking the next day, he felt more refreshed than he had done in many decades. <br/>Gripped by his new purpose, he gathered everything he could together for the <br/>long journey ahead of him. He took two blades from the forge as well as a <br/>wooden shield he had made himself to compliment his chain-link shirt. With <br/>everything he needed pulled together, he took his leave of Nulinor and headed <br/>out into the world, following the trail of destruction left by the orcs <br/>south-westward.<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>The pale skinned, stocky elf stands a little over five feet. His sky blue <br/>hair hangs loose down his back to just below his waist, shimmering silver as <br/>it wafts in the cold breeze. Sapphire blue eyes peer out above the high <br/>collar of a thick elven-craft jacket trimmed with white fur. Over his <br/>shoulders hangs a heavy furred cloak, cut of the same white fur. Carefully <br/>crafted silver chainmail peek out from the open collar of the jacket.<br/><br/>A hefty two-handed sword and a wooden shield are slung across his back, while <br/>a smaller and lighter blade rests at his waist. The hilts gleam an icy blue <br/>as the blades sit in their thick leather scabbards. A carefully carved wooden <br/>symbol depicting a setting sun on the horizon hangs from a leather thong <br/>around his neck.<br/></tt>"

Walker, founded the town of Sanctuary on the Virginia-Maryland-Pennsylvania border.  Later, that part of Virginia became West Virginia.  In the early 1750s, the Nosferatu moved out to the town and set themselves up.  By the turn of the century, the now bustling city was given to them by their respective sects.  Officially, James Walker, the first town leader, died in 1763.  Today, his birthday is still celebrated in the city.  Sanctuary laid low during the American Revolution and the Civil War, both leaders played off their sects.  Over time, the city kept growing and other supernaturals came to settle, or were absorbed by the growth."

to all who need it, especially those nearing Harano.<br/><br/>Internal Relations: Since there are several transient members of this sept, their internal relations are in a state of flux.  For the most part, the local packs and tribes appear to get along well, at least near the caern.  That said, the few Silver Fangs would like seats on the Council and the local Uktena and Fianna are allied in a front to rededicate the caern to a new totem.  The Children of Gaia and Glasswalkers provide a fairly united front, tossing numerous Gnawers a few scraps, like an Elder post, to keep them appeased.<br/><br/>External Relations: Externally, the Sept has an unwritten truce with the Kindred and Tradition Magi.  They agree that some harmony is in their best interests.  To date, the sept is unaware of any Bete in Sanctuary beyond a few old rumors.  Individual clans, packs, and Garou have made alliances and enmities with the other locals, notably the semi-friendship between local Gnawers and both branches of Nosferatu and the local Hollow Ones.<br/><br/>History: The Sept of Sanctuary is actually the second sept to use the local caern.  It was formed around 1900 when a pack of Children of Gaia stumbled across the abandoned caern.  For the next three decades, the Children ran the sept until the mid-1930s when the city expanded and enveloped the park.  Local Glasswalkers were brought in to help protect the caern, followed quickly by the Bone Gnawers.  With the 1960s, the three tribes opened the sept to any Garou who wished to join them.  A few years later, the first Uktena was accepted to her family’s ancestral caern.  She served as Mistress of the Rite until 1983 when she died of old age and the current theurge took over.  Today the sept does what it can to aid anyone who requires healing, mental, spiritual, or physical with few exceptions.<br/><br/>Totem’s Motives: Unicorn aids the sept first and foremost because his/her children founded it.  Secondly, the spirit received a new caern in the deal, one apparently abandoned by its previous defenders.  Finally, the spirit approves of the sept’s mission and ultimate goals in trying to make up for the loss of the

this site is set in a northern suburb of Sanctuary.  About half of the site is composed of a city park which closes at dusk.  The remainder is filled by apartment complexes leased to Garou and Kin, warehouses, and a few related buildings.  The local sept maintains a subsidized, private, small, hospital on the eastern border of the bawn along with a soup kitchen and Planned parenthood clinic.  On the western border is a cemetery attached to the hospital, in which many Garou and Kin are buried.  The Glasswalkers maintain a corporate office on the northern border, home to their local boardroom and owner of the warehouses.  At the center of the site is the caern itself, a low burial mound that is home to the caern’s totem spirit.  A clearing near the mound is the local sept’s assembly area, which the Glasswalker company occasionally rents, before moots and revels, to keep outsiders away.<br/><br/>Umbral Appearance: In the Umbra, the entire 800 acres is heavily forested with the ghosts of buildings faintly visible.  The caern is crawling with peace, calm and water spirits.  Among these entities wander small unicorns and other mythic creature spirits with whom (s)he is allied.  A few small animal spirits of various sorts representing the local tribes can be found as well.  In this realm, the cemetery takes on the shape of a large barrow while the hospital looks like a native lodge.  The heart of the caern and the assembly area look identical, but wilder.  Where the edges of the bawn appear, cockroaches, pattern spiders and other urban spirits prowl, unable to cross the line unless summoned.  A large green banner bearing a silver unicorn rampant tops the caern heart.<br/><br/>Tribes Allowed: Any, though it is rare to find a Red Talon due to Unicorn’s influence and the Children of Gaia.<br/><br/>Relations with Ronin: Assuming an individual passes several tests for Wyrm taint, any Garou will be allowed access, usually for a favor.<br/><br/>Relations with Other Breeds: While most of the sept doesn’t believe any Bete still survive, they are pledged to help all in need.<br/><br/>Kinfolk: Around forty to one hundred Kinfolk are known to this caern, mostly Humans.  Some are watched without knowing it, others help out around the caern.<br/><br/>Security: Throughout the bawn, Kutter Solutions, Inc. security officers maintain security.  The Park also has remote cameras set up, feeding footage to the corporate office.  All of the buildings have security systems, some include cameras.  The corporate office, hospital, and cemetery also have allied spirits watching over them.  Any other measures are setup by the Warder.  The ultimate goal is to avoid combat in the bawn.<br/><br/><strong>Kinfolk Info</strong><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Black

point, as expected, is the reptile house, where nearly all of the animal kin live.  Most of the elders, other Mokole, and Human kin work at the zoo in one capacity or another.  The elders pool their financial resources, and the proceeds from the zoo, to find homes for all of their kin, either in the zoo or nearby.  Given the local climate, the wallow is necessarily small due to a low population.  In fact, unless they are working or otherwise occupied, the members tend to stick close to the reptile house.  There is a building across the street from the main gate that has a tunnel connecting it to a back room of the house so that kin and outside Mokole can get to the wallow after hours.  This opens to an “employees only” door to which only wallow members have keys.<br/><br/>Umbral

direction, is filled with reptile and bird spirits.  Nearly every variety of finch is represented and most common, followed by crocodiles, alligators, Gila monsters, and the like.  Some able to reach this realm have even spotted a few cobras and, once, an Asian dragon, but these are unconfirmed.  Sadly, few, if any, of the wallow’s inhabitants have been able to see this aspect of their spiritual home.  One or two that have seen it have been sorely tempted to stay.<br/><br/>Relations with Other Breeds: As a group, the wallow does not associate with the other breeds.  To the best of their knowledge, only the Garou are in the city.  The wallow also avoids the Leeches and Magi, unless forced to defend their small territory.<br/><br/>Kinfolk: The wallow is home to some twenty or thirty kinfolk around the zoo.  Most are animals living in the zoo.  The third or so that are human live nearby, most of them work as feeders, tour guides, and security.<br/><br/>Security: Externally, the zoo’s security consists of cameras, fence alarms, and normal security officers.  Most of the later are led by kinfolk and Mokole.  The reptile house has added measures, including spirits and ritual wards.  This part, unbeknownst to outsiders, is as secure as some military bases or depositories.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Aviatrix’ Clutch</span><br/>Size: 4-10 Mokole<br/>Totem: Finch<br/>Tribes: Mokole-mbembe (most common), Makara and Zhong Lung (newer arrivals)<br/><br/>Purpose:<br/>1) Maintain Gaia’s Memory, by any means<br/>2) Protect the remnants of the breed, such as they are.<br/>3) Provide guidance for the Children of the Sun.<br/><br/>Internal Relations: Since this is a small clutch, most internal relations boil down to personal relationships.  As one would expect, these vary widely.  However, in the last couple years, as more non-Mbembe come into the clutch, some issues regarding traditions have arisen.  Some go back to the time of the first Zhong Lung joining in, but most are relatively recent due to an influx of young Makara mingling with Zhong Lung and Mbembe.<br/><br/>External Relations: Because of the level of supernatural activity in Sanctuary, the clutch is painfully aware of its need to protect its wallow.  Especially since members do not know the number of Garou, magi, and thieving Ratkin in the city.  Therefore, collectively, they try to err on the side of secrecy in order to preserve their sacred site.  Exceptions have been made, in the past, as anyone with an ounce of mnesis can tell.<br/><br/>History: The clutch was founded in the mid1880s, a year or two before the wallow was dedicated.  Back then, the membership consisted solely of freed slaves and some of their caucasian, mostly Floridian, French, and western kin.  Only a small handful of Mokole were in Sanctuary at the time, so they did their best to keep out of sight.  By the turn of the century, the first family of Zhong Lung and her kin arrived and petitioned to join the clutch.  The Mokole continued to keep quiet and aid in vision/mnesis quests well into the 20th century.  Over the next six or seven decades the population remained stable, both in size and ratio.  This changed in the 1970s, when Indian and Pakistani families and students came to the area.  The 1980s also saw an influx of Asian families.  Because of these shifts, the clutch is now about half Mbembe with the other half split between Zhong Lung and Makara.  Despite age, the clutch has remained stable in size, the better to remain in hiding and protect their wallow.<br/><br/>Totem Motives: Finch has decided to watch over this clutch primarily because of the nature of their wallow.  As a totem of cunning, the bird-spirit is interested in guiding the Children of Dragon and Sun.  Additionally, the spirit admires the clutch’s skill and canniness in hiding itself well over the last century and more.<br/><br/>Other Notes: Because the wallow is so small, there is only one clutch so far.  However, the elders can create temporary clutches to deal with specific problems as necessary.  For example, back in the 1950-1960s, they created a special clutch to infiltrate and guide the Black Panthers and another to monitor Sanctuary State College student organizations.<br/><br/><strong>Ratkin Info</strong><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">City Center Colony</span><br/>Rating: 3<br/># of Ratkin: 11-25<br/>Concealment: 3<br/># of Kin: 220-500<br/>Rat Mother: Skree (Rodens Engineer, Rank 3)<br/>Scout: Tommy King (Rodens Runner, Rank 3)<br/>Warlord: Arwen (Metis Warrior, Rank 3)<br/>Mystic: Rotigern (Rodens Shadow Seer, Rank 3)<br/><br/>Description: The City Center Colony exists in secret near the downtown area of Sanctuary.  There are three parts to the colony: surface, tunnels, and core.  At the surface, the colony controls a pair of tenements, renting the top floors while pawn shops and related businesses take the first floors.  Most of the homids and Human kin live here.  Just beneath the surface are the tunnels which range in size from Human to rat, getting smaller as one moves toward the core.  Down there, the colony is a maze of rat-sized tunnels and nests inaccessible to non-rats.  This is where the elders make their homes with many rat kinfolk.<br/><br/>Relations with Other Breeds: Because of their connections and contacts, the colony knows where the other breeds hang out in the city.  However, as an entity, the colony leaves the others alone.  They know where Werner’s Park Caern is, but avoid it as much as possible, except when they wish to steal the odd Garou fetish.  That’s the colony’s choice.  Individuals are, obviously, free to do as they wish regarding the others so long as they don’t compromise the Colony.<br/><br/>Relations with Non-Bete: There are only a few outsiders that the colony deals with as a collective entity.  A truce exists between the colony and all of the local Nosferatu.  It delineates the territory controlled by each of the three groups and provides for neutral meeting grounds between them.  Supposedly, some high level Ratkin have recently approached some Magi (probably Hollow Ones or Euthanatos) about striking a deal, though the details are pure speculation.  All other supernaturals are fair game for avoidance, or other activities.<br/><br/>History: The oldest and largest colony in Sanctuary, the City Center Colony was founded in the mid-1930s.  Early in the decade, a rat pack moved into the growing city and staked out territory in the local sewer system.  A few years later, the population doubled, leading to a brief war with the local Leeches.  Since the conflict took place beneath the streets, most of the others knew nothing about it.  The advent of WWII brought a truce which stands to this day.  There have been crises, in terms of the truce, but it hasn’t quite been broken by either side yet.  Until the mid-1990s, the colony grew quickly and carried out sniping attacks against the tentative incursions of Pentex and Shinzui.  They became a pest, albeit a hidden one, for the Garou as well.  When the current crop of elders came to power in 1996, they instituted a program of creating smaller colonies in the city to keep this one at a stable population, for security and safety purposes.  It also limits the local Nosferatu in the suburbs.<br/><br/>Rat Packs:<br/>- Cat Baiters – explorers and shock troops<br/>- Chosen, The – Defense of the colony<br/>- Wolf Watchers – keep tabs on the Garou<br/>- Gaia’s Ears – keep tabs on the Leeches<br/>- Lawyers, The – maintain the colony and expand its territory (get around the truce)"

gen Tremere)<br/>Charles du Lac (8th gen Ventrue, GM)<br/><br/>Elysium Site: The city’s most well known Elysium site is a late 19th century stone manor set on the edge of the downtown limits.  The historic home is inhabited solely by ghouls provided by the Keeper, Charles du Lac.  Technically, Rockford Hall is owned by the Prince, but he allows the Ventrue primogen to look after the ten bedroom, walled estate.  Part of this job involves providing security and refreshment.  For the latter, Charles maintains a small wine cellar augmented by a dozen or so captive kine held in the basement.  Every night the hall is open to the Kindred public, though behaviour is expected by both Charles and the Prince.  A few rooms are provided in the basement for the use of newcomers to the city.<br/><br/>Other Elysium Sites:<br/>Tourlaine Museum of Art (Erin Ness)<br/>The Haunt (nightclub) (Janie)<br/>St. Ambrose’s Cathedral (unsanctified) (Lars Ehrichson)<br/><br/>Security: At Rockford Hall, the outer wall is home to detection alarms and CCTVs with guards at the gate.  Inside, two guards man the main door, disarming guests.  Meanwhile, two teams with dogs patrol the grounds.  Due to connections in city hall, all Rockford security personnel are licensed as private police for all intents and purposes.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Tremere Chantry</span><br/>Sanctuary’s Tremere chantry is located in the Bingham Library on Sanctuary College’s campus.  After centuries of using the site in secret, the clan has created myriad methods of entry without being seen.  The chantry is home to a good sized library of its own, plus the college’s library.  It is overseen by the clan appointed regent (not the Prince appointed Primogen), who controls the library director, a tenured member of the staff/faculty.  Because of this unusual access, the clan can obtain any information from any university library that shares with SC as well as all the databases that the college subscribes to.  Security is provided by a few communal ghouls, a couple Gargoyles, and various mundane / mystical means.  Due to the recent discovery of the Order of Hermes in the city, the Regent has seen fit to create three mock chantries around the city, to confuse the enemy.<br/><br/><strong>Independent</strong><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Assamite Outpost</span><br/>The Assamite presence in Sanctuary is practically non-existent, perhaps two to four rafiq waiting for reassignment.  The clan maintains a small safehouse near the Alhambra Mosque downtown.  In return for this grant, they are required to check in with he Prince and Archbishop on a biweekly basis and to undertake the occasional contract free of charge.  Otherwise, they and their eight unit apartment building are left alone by the Kindred authorities.  This does not mean that they cannot take contracts or pursue their own interests, so long as they don’t attract attention, anything else goes.  The outpost was founded in the 1960s, soon after the mosque was built.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Giovanni Manse</span><br/>The Giovanni clan only has a handful of Embraced members in the city.  Several more are ghouled and awaiting their moment.  Nearly all live, or meet, at the Snyder House, a modern manor located in one of the city’s wealthiest neighborhoods.  Security is provided by scores of men and a few women, in expensive Italian suits, concealing all manner of arms.  The grounds themselves are rather small, given the value of the house, but they are adequate in terms of keeping nosy neighbors away.  The site is ideal in that it is only a few lots over from a cemetery.  A basement depth tunnel connects the manse to the family mausoleum, which is kept unlocked.  Otherwise, there seems to be nothing unusual about the mansion.  The family head is an 8th generation, nearly two century old, direct descendant of the Giovanni family.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Setite Temple</span><br/>The handful of Setites in Sanctuary operate out of St. Francis’ Cathedral, a few blocks from the city courthouse.  A communal haven in maintained in the rectory and all of the priests attached to the church are ghouls.  In addition to working on local leaders, the Followers have infiltrated the Disciples of Set through their ghouls.  They simply keep tabs on the ghouls and feed the Disciples information to guide and mislead them.  As one would expect from the Snakes, they operate from the shadows and remain fairly quiet, behind the scenes.  The local Setites are led by a 9th generation, 130 year old, member of the clan.<br/><br/><strong>Sabbat</strong><br/>Just a reminder for those interested in playing Sabbat characters – The Sabbat itself is not “evil” nor is the Camarilla “good.”  Rather, they are followers of different philosophies – the Sabbat are social Darwinists, the Camarilla are anti-Darwinists of a sort.  In Freudian terms, the Camarilla represses its nature while the Sabbat embraces its nature (its Jungian shadow).<br/><br/>Archbishop: Claudius (8th gen Nosferatu-anti, GM)<br/>Bishops: Gregory VII (9th gen Lasombra)<br/>Marie Cork (8th gen City Gangrel, GM)<br/>Elaine (10th gen Toreador-anti)<br/>Fortinbras (8th gen Ventrue-anti)<br/>Covens/Packs:<br/>The Harpies (top coven)<br/>Trivium (3 members representing politics, magic, war)<br/>Morrigan’s Daughters (all female)<br/>Lokispawn<br/><br/>Temple/Communal Haven: The Temple of the Red Blessing is home to all of Sanctuary’s Sabbat.  Claudius and his bishops keep offices in the lower levels of the downtown concert hall that conceals the place.  Areas used by Kindred are reached via secret doors guarded by ghouls, revenants, and recent childer of the Kindred.  In addition to the offices, the Temple has four layers.  The topmost is home to a place of worship for a mortal cult, and the Sabbat, run by members.  Beneath that is a communal haven for most of the Kindred plus the offices.  The third layer is a vault for the Temple’s relics and private havens for the bishops.  The lowest layer is Claudius’ personal haven.  As a cover, the hall above generally holds rock and pop concerts of various sorts, which also lets the younger Kindred blow off some steam.<br/><br/>Security: The personnel making up security are mostly revenants and very young Kindred with a handful of ghouls.  The latter only work the first layer.  Cameras and silent alarms cover public and secure areas as well as the armoury on level two.  The four Templars are the only security allowed in layer four.  Several ghouled animals wander the Sabbat’s temple as well.<br/><br/>Black Hand Agents: None Known<br/>Templars: ______ (9th gen Assamite-anti)<br/>______ (9th gen Brujah-anti)<br/>______ (10th gen

class=""bbc_u"">Disciples of Set</span><br/>A couple years ago a few Disciples of Set slipped into the city.  They set up a small temple near city hall.  There they lure a handful of known Kindred for harvesting purposes.  Typically, they offer aid and services for vitae, corrupting as they go.  Several are well placed politicians.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Sacrament of the Reborn</span><br/>While the Reborn have not made any presence known, the last couple years have been filled with rumors of ""Vampire cults.""  Whether these are signs that the Reborn are in town or not is unclear, even to those who know the group exists.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Sanguinaries</span><br/>The Sanguinaries keep a small, illicit, shop in town.  As a rule, the ghouls operate downtown where their sources lurk.  While they have worked to remain under the Kindred radar, there is a rumor that someone is offering to pay Caitiff and Panders for vitae donations.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Unmastered</span><br/>Sanctuary is a minor hub on the Unmastered’s underground network.  They maintain a few moderate safehouses and a vitae bank in town.  Unlike the Young Bloods, they have yet to turn violent in the city, but they have not ruled out the possibility.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Young Bloods</span><br/>Last year, Pentex directed a pack of Young Bloods to Sanctuary.  Their job is to aid the company'’ interests without a direct connection to Pentex, as usual.  So far, they’ve been ordered to lay low, fed on vitae stored by their sponsor.  Supposedly, a strike is being planned."

Eric (Celestial Chorus Adept)<br/>- Artemis Nike (Verbena Adept)<br/><br/>A relatively young chantry, the House of Change was founded in the early-19th or late-18th century.  Founded on the principle of exploration and adaptation, the chantry has few masters and tries to include as many traditions as possible.  Despite this foal, the Order of Hermes, Verbena, and Cult of Ecstasy maintain a hold on most of the chantry’s power, in that order of traditions.  Surprisingly, given that the chantry has a decent sized realm, it only controls one node, which has its benefits.  Defending the source is easier, however, it limits the chantry’s strength, especially since priority is given to the Horizon Realm.  An added problem is that, being an old Garou caern, the old owners may return to claim it at any time.<br/><br/>Cabals (15-35 mages total)<br/>- Luminaries of Geraldus (ambassadorship, magickal labor)<br/>- Cline, Thorssen, Bacon, Lavinia, Nike<br/>- The Grey Order (Investigation, Protection)<br/>- John<br/>- Ovid’s Librarians (Collection, training)<br/>- Keegan<br/>- Johnson’s Children (node maintenance, collection)<br/>- Fr. Eric<br/>- House of Lee (protection, chantry maintenance)<br/>- Lucretia (named for Bruce Lee)<br/><br/>Node: The chantry only controls one node to date, but their founders managed to open and purchase the powerful Fallen Shadows Caern.  This one acre stretch of land in upstate New York was once a 17th century Shadowlord caern, stolen from the Croatan.  In the mid-18th century, the Garou sept died out, leaving their caern to be discovered decades later.  The region is sparsely populated, but haunted with minor magickal manifestations that have been documented by Sleepers.  It has a connection to the Chantry’s Realm and produces approximately 45 quintessence per day.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Horizon Realm</span><br/>Concept: The realm, given quintessence limits, was meant to be a reflection of the chantry on Earth, without certain pesky things like most bugs, drafts, and Sleepers.  It was created as a place where magickal experimentation could go wild, within space limitations, and apprentices could be trained without concern for paradox.  As the chantry has grown, so has the Realm.<br/><br/>Environment: Since the founders had limited resources, the environment of the realm is very much like Earth’s, including weather and plant-life.  Given the space available, the founders tried to add as much variety as they could.  This has been added to as the realm grew and more traditions joined the chantry.<br/><br/>Denizens: Due to quintessence limits, the only denizens of the realm are small birds, mammals, and a few select insects as well as typical plant-life.  Any other denizens must be individually created by the magi.<br/><br/>Magickal Ratings: Normal<br/><br/>Realm Description: In its realm, the Chantry is a four acre Tudor style palace, rising to four stories over most of its area.  Six story towers cap the ends and another pair flank the solid oak door.  This large double door has much of the chantry’s history carved in bas relief on its surface.  Around the building itself are six acres of land evenly mixed between wildland and manicured garden, complete with fountains, a creek, and marble bridges.  The palace has internal room for about a hundred twenty people, though some of the magi choose to create sanctums on the grounds instead of inside with the servants.<br/><br/>Earthly Chantry: On Earth, the chantry is composed of the Shauffer mansion, located on the fringe of downtown.  The late-18th century mansion is owned in trust by all of the chantry’s masters, with others added to the title as they attain rank.  The mansion itself is unremarkable save for its age and obvious wealth.  All of the original furniture, wallpaper, and fixtures are intact.  The exterior is grey stone and red brick on half an acre of land surrounded by a wrought iron topped red brick wall.  A single driveway pierces the wall, blocked by an electronic wrought iron gate.  The building is wired for phone, electric, and DSL plus cable.<br/><br/>Purpose: As befits its name, the purpose of the House of Change is in a nearly constant state of flux.  However, certain core values have remained throughout the Chantry’s existence: a belief in the exploration of reality’s limits and the instruction of new magi to bolster the ranks of the traditions.<br/><br/>History: The exact foundation date is unknown, but believed to be in the late-18th or early-19th century.  The Metamorphics, or Changers, have largely kept to themselves in the city so far.  In the early days, the Chantry was composed of Hermetics, Verbena, and Ecstatics.  Supposedly this odd combination came from siblings drawn to different traditions.  By the early 20th century, other traditions came into the fold as the Technocrats advanced.  Eventually, the local Tremere and Tremere-antitribu discovered the chantry, as detailed below.  AS the founders grew in strength, they began to drift off to other chantries, leaving a maximum of six masters in the chantry, a tradition continued into the modern day.<br/><br/>Non-Mage Inhabitants: This chantry is home to roughly seventy servants and consors.  Most are non-aligned in terms of the cabals, but they tend to ally themselves by age.  The eldest with the Luminaries (4:1 servant to mage ratio), then the Librarians (2:1), Grey Order (2:1), Children (1:1), and House (1:1), in that order.  The same holds true for the number of devotees with the Librarians and Order averaging a 2:1 servant to mage ratio.<br/><br/>Internal Relations: Internally, the Chantry resembles a school in its organization with the Masters as tenured faculty, adepts as non-tenured, disciples as graduate students, apprentices as students, and non-magi as high school kids.  The cabals all have their own duties within this hierarchy, the House learns from the Order, the Children from the Librarians, and everyone from the Luminaries.  Each cabal has at least one adept or master to guide it, and to represent its interests on the Council of Deacons.  Traditionally, the Luminaries control the council with five of the nine seats, though its members are not necessarily expected to vote as a block.  For the most part, this system seems to work well, though there is always political maneuvering as in all chantries and faculties, magickal or mundane.<br/><br/>External Relations: The Grey Order and House of Lee keep tabs on local Garou and known Kindred whenever possible.  They also enforce the non-aggression treaty with the Tremere-antitribu and attempt to block the moves of the Camarilla Tremere against the chantry.  To date, the Changers have avoided contact with the Fae, other Kindred, and potential Technocrats.  Their region is small enough and node remote enough to avoid the latter.<br/><br/>Status & Reputation: The House of Change is a respected, established chantry with a fair history.  As a school and house of knowledge, it is reasonably well known.  Its role as a multi-tradition House adds to its reputation in some eyes, as does its body of alumni.  However, recent suspicion of outsiders has delivered a blow to the Changers’ reputation.<br/><br/>Policy Regarding Outsiders: Due to roughly six decades of withstanding Tremere incursions, the House is justifiably paranoid regarding outsiders.  Newcomers are subjected to a wide battery of tests and trials before entering.  Even then, they get suspicious looks for a while.<br/><br/>Allies/Enemies: The House has allies in many North American chantries due to its practice of farming out masters once they reach critical mass.  However, it has also created its share of enemies in the same region over the last fifty-some years due to stricter entry policies and some of its experimentation.<br/><br/>Research Capabilities: Because of space limitations, the House has only a good quality library of arcane materials, though an excellent array of mundane texts on a variety of subjects.  The contents range in age from 12th century manuscripts to recent bestsellers.  The laboratory space is, sadly, somewhat limited and typically monopolized by the Hermetics.  In the Realm, a half dozen or so labs exist in the building with lots of outdoor room to spare.  On Earth, Shauffer Manor is home to a split basement containing a modern chemistry lab to one side and biology lab to the other.  One of the old upstairs dining rooms has been converted into a state of the art computer lab by an enterprising Virtual Adept a few years ago.<br/><br/>Security: Both the Realm and Chantry are protected by magickal wards of great strength, though different purpose.  Additionally, they are both fortified to a surprising extent.  The chantry also has a fairly standard system of locks, alarms, and cameras.  There are no guardians to date, unless one counts any experiments the members may be working on.  Physical, living, security is provided by two cabals, largely the House of Lee for the Chantry and the Grey Order for the realm and as bodyguards.  The servants attached to both cabals (roughly 20-25) are trained to the level of a private security force, by mundane standards.<br/><br/>Chantry Stat Stuff:  (Points: 93)<br/>External:

common routine, no sick days, usually worked overtime, no innovations.  He was promoted time and time again, slowly and steadily.  In 2002, Paul accepted the Weaver’s gift and became a drone, bit by bit.  Last year, the ultimate director of the company decided it needed someone in Sanctuary and decided upon this particular drone due to years of perfect service.<br/><br/><strong>Victoria Strassen</strong><br/>DNA Director, Mortal<br/><br/>At first glance, Victoria looks much too young to hold her position within the DNA hierarchy.  Her record indicates a very strong talent in neurochemistry, holding a Master’s degree in the subject, and a poli-sci second undergrad major.  Ms. Strassen took the fledgling branch office in 2001, at the age of 25.  According to highly classified DNA files, her family was wiped out by a group of GLS infected individuals in advanced stages of the disease.  She was 13 then and test scores indicated a strong interest in sciences.  DNA quietly saw to her tuition, room and board through the completion of her M.S. and hired her right out of grad school.  Her talents landed the directorship only a year later, due to the nature of the facility."

Gifted with champagne blonde hair, pale green eyes and creamy pale pink skin this Amenti can dress herself up or down as she wish. It is not quite as much hiding her beauty as bringing out the paleness of her colours. Resent establishment of confidence and self-esteem has pushed Caprice towards using her gifts instead of hiding herself and her hair now usually bounce around her head in glamour curls, her eyebrows rise elegantly sharp and her well-shaped, naturally voluptious lips pout sensously with a vamp red matte lipstick colour or an alluring lip gloss. Her look is completed with the chic clothing she wears and on top of that, her italian accent sounds adorable.<br/><br/>Personality: The former quiet mouse has turned to sensous kitty.

That Caprice has come as far as she has so far bear witness of hidden strenght and a will to understand.<br/><br/>Basic Bio: The story of Caprice is the story of a girl pushed out of the way and run over, figurative speaking at least. Born in Venice, Italy to a family of six children Caprice quickly reverted to being the quiet and slightly weird loner who studied more than what´s really healthy. Bullied in school and too weak willed to ever do anything but put up with it Caprice attracted a khaibit as she repressed all urges to lash out against those who threated her as a mat. The Khaibit patiently waited for her to grow up, graduate and go on to university studies in art and design history. She saw Caprice getting a prestigeous internship in London and noted how Caprice got taken advantage of, pushed aside when credits came and generally treated like a whipped little bitch. And then finally as she was home for a vacation Caprice locked herself in the bathroom, slit her wrists and watched her life drain away only to realise, too late, that she didn´t want to die after all. And eager to walk the earth again the Khaibit offered Caprice the deal and inhabited her body violently as she stormed out to the docks to reach the Web of Faith. Escorted from the docks of Alexandria by a team of battle-priestesses to the safety of an Isis cult temple Caprice was laid down with restraints to start the rite of rebirth. But the all too eager khaibit had failed to see that Caprice´s Ba was just as damaged as her Khaibit and when Caprice was reborn it was not as an aggressive Sefekhi but as a frightened, confused and tormented Udja-Sen. The motherly Cult of Isis did their best but it took Caprice three deaths, a whole lot of screaming and meditating to get to the point where she could really be usefull in the fight against Apophis. Seeking the Eset-A for the opportunity of putting her knowledges to use Caprice became a member, if not fully trusted, and an agent sent outside of the web of faith to with all means necessary retake artifacts and relics with meaning for the Eset-A. At the same time she buys and sells ordinary antiques for profit, financing a war against the ultimate evil is costly after all. Now her superiors have tracked down a supposedly important urn as far as to Sanctuary and gave Caprice the mission to find the urn, aquire it by all means necessary and at the same time see if she can find any other items of importance.<br/><br/>Game Limitations: Idiocy and the site rules."

do  you suppose is reasonable to a woman with 13 dice in her pool to perform  outlandishly dangerous athletics stunts at -2 difficulty?  She won't try to jump the grand canyon on her skate board just because you dare her too, but, like Marty McFly growling, ""Don't call me chicken,"", Kumiko tends to have reactions like, ""What do you mean I'm not good enough to skate down the interstate overpass the wrong way at rush hour?))<br/>Vengeful  (2)  Wants to avenge her mother's death.<br/><br/>(+7BP)<br/><br/>Occupation/Rank: Heir to the Cherry Blossom Temple (Shinto) in Santa Barbra, which is still run by her grandmother, she currently spends more time as a vigilante protecting her congregation from the predations of vampires, drug dealers, and other unwholesome creatures of the night.  She also participates in skating and gymnastics competitions.  She has some fame as an Olympic gold medalist in speed skating and bronze medalist in rhythmic gymnastics.<br/><br/>Appearance: Kawaii!  Kumiko’s health and beauty are a direct result of good living.  Her pale amber skin is smooth and supple, with a few faint scars that the blessing of her favorite kimono has yet to fade.  It flows and ripples over a tightly muscled gymnast’s body.  Her legs are particularly shapely and powerful, not to mention long, rising up curved hips to a trim waist and a belly that could bounce a quarter.  Her chest is pert and high, a bit large for a gymnast, but not extravagant.  Her face is a bit heart shaped for a Japanese girl, and her eyes are blue.  Waist length blue-black hair is usually pulled back in a pony tail by a plain black scrunchy.<br/><br/>She almost always wears a midnight purple mini-kimono over a black sports bra.  It falls open a little bit when she’s relaxed, though she pulls it tight for battle on account of it’s paranormal defensive properties.  The back is embroidered in painstakingly intricate detail with a blooming cherry tree.  Wind swirls it’s petals around the kimono.  The skirt of this garment barely falls past her hips, but she wears matching pink leggings.  She’s almost never seen wearing shoes, instead preferring, when not barefoot, to wear her roller blades and safety pads, all burgundy in color.<br/><br/>She’s actually a shade on the short side, but seems taller on account of almost always wearing her roller blades and being so lanky.<br/><br/>Personality: Bubbly and bouncy, especially when afraid, Kumiko tries to be cheerful and perky at all times, and make the best of life.  She’s capable of quite elegance, and scorns brooding or “goth behavior.”  In truth, she’s got some emotional baggage she’s carrying around, she blames herself for her mother’s death (she died in childbirth) and the things she fights in the night scare her every bit as much as they excite her.  That’s why she becomes more and more a bubbly anime girl the more afraid or distressed she becomes.  In anime, wounds heal, scars are attractive, and little people can stand up to big, scary monsters and triumph.<br/><br/>Kumiko is a hard worker and an adrenaline junky.  She’s not happy unless she’s doing something productive or fun.  She runs hard all day, then sleeps deeply for 6 hours before jumping up to train or cook breakfast.  She sometimes seems like a bundle of nervous energy, especially when you ask her to sit still.  She was mistaken for hyperactive repeatedly as a child, but she truly has no trouble focusing on her studies or anything else she needs to do.<br/><br/>Background: Sachiko Morisato immigrated to California some time ago with her young son when she made too many enemies of the Japanese magi.  A hereditary priestess as well as Martial Artist Mage and seamstress, Sachiko is older than she looks, a Master of Matter with extensive array of spiritual, telepathic, and life-based powers to compliment those abilities.  Her most recent hobbies include fan-subbing anime and rebuilding old cars.<br/><br/>She was able to acquire a Node and concentrate it as the Cherry Blossom Temple outside of Santa Barbra.  Parishioners of Shinto from all over California come there to worship on major holidays, acquiring lucky arrows and other talismans appropriate to the season.  The shrine is open to other alternative religions, and the curious know that, if they come with open and respectful minds, they’ll find well informed priests.<br/><br/>Her son Takumi runs a small martial arts dojo when not helping out around the temple.  He is known and respected as a martial arts and athletics sensei who sometimes helps people out with their problems a la Quai Chane Kain, rewards being accepted but not asked for.<br/><br/>He’s a bachelor with a slight (and sometimes exaggerated) reputation as a playboy, more because the women he falls in love with either move on after passionate affairs or die than because he engages in overly casual relationships.  One such woman was a blue eyed and busty Rom named Catalina, who died baring him a daughter.<br/><br/>At least, that’s what they told Kumiko.  She recently gained the courage to peer back in time to the moment of her mother’s death and saw herself cradled in the arms of an elf, when men with iron knives burst down the door.  (OR whatever else the storyteller considers an appropriate plot hook.)<br/><br/>Takumi loves his daughter Kumiko very much, and they spend a lot of time training together, translating anime, hunting demons, and just dining as a family.  Their relationship is sometimes strained, though, by Kumiko’s guilt over her mother dying in childbirth and growing independence issues based on being a 20 year old who still lives at home and is going into the family business.<br/><br/>Kumiko was noted as a gifted athlete and martial artist by her father and teachers right from the start.  Neither the best nor worst student in school, she generally managed Bs and Cs with minimal effort.  She did have a few mental talents, though.  She picked up on languages fast, being equally fluent in English, Japanese, Cantonese and Spanish.  She does occasionally slip into a sort of “border speech” and mix her languages, especially when she’s nervous.<br/>She kept very busy growing up, doing little with her family besides training and translating anime.  Her friends were mostly boys and a few girls who shared her love of martial arts or skating, and they formed a sort of spook squad together.  She did have one boyfriend named Ben Kendal in high school, and her relationship with him grew passionate, but dissolved when he was unwilling to give up his virginity with her.  The tension grew too great, and he, being a more cerebral boy, couldn’t really keep up with his highly athletic girlfriend.<br/><br/>Her skater crew narrowed down to a spook squad with the strength of will to do investigative work pertaining to her family’s “second job”, demon hunting, and narrowed to a crew of 5 others, John Steel, Jackie Lee, Kokoro Kino, and Ian and Naomi Silverstien.  However, they separated out to various colleges while Kumiko devoted 2 years to the Olympics.<br/><br/>Abilities/Disabilities:<br/>Mundane:  Kumiko is one of the world’s top athletes, perhaps THE world’s top skater, if a gold medal and the ability to perform martial arts in roller blades means anything, and a great gymnast, and martial artist enough to, with a bit of help from her magic, fight Vampires hand to hand.<br/>She is multilingual, able to think in five languages, and read and write the Latin alphabet, Chinese characters, and the Japanese phonetic alphabets Hiragana and Katakana.<br/>Otherwise her academic skills are, not poor, but unimpressive.  She did well in high school, and is studied in culture, religion, and philosophy, but hasn’t’ been to college and has spent more time skating and watching anime than reading.<br/>Supernatural:<br/>As an Awakened Miko (temple girl) Kumiko is able to sense, speak with, and even summon, banish, and wound spirits.  The last three abilities require either prayer strips or some other form of writing.<br/>She is also a limited mentalist, able to awaken her own mind to great mental feats through martial arts or mediation, and, through concentration or martial arts focus, perceive and project, but not really influence, emotions.<br/>She has rudimentary mastery of raw energy, able to absorb extra power from holy ground, freeholds, etc, through mediation or a fire focus, and empower herself and her weapons with said raw energy to deal telling wounds to supernatural creatures.<br/>Her Arete, though, has always been in the manipulation of Time.  She hasn’t needed to wear a watch since junior high.  Through mediation with fire or water, she can peer back into time, or receive visions of possible futures.<br/>Through martial arts maneuvers and the expenditure of a little extra energy, her chronomancy becomes devastating.  She can accelerate to fight multiple opponents through multiple actions, or invest a single dodge or strike with devastating speed and power.<br/>Kumiko wears a kimono that is tied to the spirit of an ancient cherry tree.  This kimono is sewn by her grandmother from True Silk. It is, in and of itself, completely invulnerable.  This offers its wearer limited protection from physical harm, particularly piercing and slashing weapons, but little from blunt trauma.  The spirit of the cherry tree will absorb her wounds into the much more durable body of the tree over a period of hours, giving Kumiko a remarkable healing factor compared to mortals, albeit nothing on vampires or werewolves. As a final gift, it’s flared sleeves offer a small quantity of “storage space” by storing a few dozen items such as stakes, daggers, a Zippo, a wallet, and calligraphy kits in the spirit world for ready accessibility.<br/>In the spring, the spirit of the tree becomes mischievously passionate to the point of light malice, and may play subtle poltergeist like pranks.<br/>Her skates and safety pads, like the kimono, are augmented and made invulnerable by her grandmother.<br/><br/>Paranormal Disadvantages:<br/>Kumiko’s power, along with her investment of imagination into anime, has a few drawbacks…<br/>Masks always initially fool her, and even the most obvious mask will require a tip off and concentrated act of will to recognize as such.<br/>The weather, leaves, flower petals, and ravens respond to her emotions in superficial but attention drawing ways.  The wind always catches her hair at just the right dramatically appropriate moment, which can make a positive impression, but also tends to stick in people’s minds.  She can sometimes be noticed by looking for ravens following her around.<br/>As to a delicate matter, Kumiko’s psychology and destiny have a slightly unnatural reaction to sexual molestation, one that can twist her personality in the short term while protecting her psychology in the long term.  Her body responds to forced pleasure in ways more appropriate to hentai anime than to real life, and a skilled molester can implant suggestions and even short term brainwashing into her mind.  In the long term, however, she has a certain “anime-buffer” against the trauma of such rape, much the way she hides from violent trauma’s by acting like an anime character.<br/>Brutalization, of course, is never anything other than brutalization, even in anime.<br/><br/>Game Limits: Site Rules.<br/><br/>Notes: (As needed to describe entourages, familiars, etc.)<br/>Kumiko owns a van augmented by her grandmother, the back of which has been converted into a small living area with a roll out futon, lap top desk, and mini refrigerator.<br/><br/>Plot hook: Sent to the chantry in neutral teritory after pissing off one too many vampires.<br/>"

Example: Is raising WILLPOWER 1 xp per dot or the current number of dots in xp (if I had a Courage of 3 it would cost 3xp). This is a biggy lots of things are going to cost too much if not using the starting costs save if a Dicipline in the clan is at 1 Dot then going to 2 Dots is actually a little cheaper but everything else...<br/><br/>I don't want to take Age so this is very important to understand and will decide if I play.

He then proceeds to spin the arrow every time I take an action.<br/><br/>22...I remember one instance where I had told the GM that his sister was a looker just before the game. The next door my dwarven warrior opened was apparently holding back a huge pool of acid.<br/><br/>23...Me: I'll lean out the window and shoot at the car's tires.<br/>GM: It's gonna be difficult; they could be bulletproof.<br/>Me: I'll shoot.<br/>GM: You miss.<br/>Me: I'll aim for the driver now.<br/>GM: You miss.<br/>Me: I'll...<br/>GM: As you lean out the window for a third shot, you smack a street sign when the driver weaves towards the sidewalk.<br/>Me: WHAT?!<br/>GM: You then fall out on the street, lose your rifle, and roll for several feet.<br/>Me: That's bogus!<br/>GM: You get run over by a taxi.<br/>Me: I'll shut up now.<br/><br/>24...I know that Cthulhu GMs are meant to be a little on the mean side, but there is such a thing as overdoing it...<br/>The investigators were in Kingsport, where we had found an underground cavern and a well with an inscription on it. A copy of said inscription was given to an acquaintance of the investigators to translate. (This acquaintance was my backup character, as my main character was expected to go loopy at any second -- but I digress.)<br/>At the end of this session, the GM was struck by a sudden thought -- and, well-knowing my lack of luck with dice, asked my backup character to roll his Luck.<br/>Thirty seconds later my poor proto-investigator was dead at the hands of the minor god he'd accidentally summoned.<br/><br/>25...You manage to kill your most hated nemesis. He is resurrected, so you kill him again and cut his head off. The head laughs. You mount the head on a pole and carry it around as a warning to others. The head encourages others to kill you, tells bad jokes, and generally won't shut up, so you throw the head away. It rolls back. You throw the head in a river and run -- but find it in the bar at the next town waiting for you.<br/><br/><br/>26...The PC enters a cave. In the cave are six doors. The DM chuckles, then says, ""So, what're you going to do?""<br/>The PC opens all the doors before going through and sees that five of them are cold, dark tunnels, and the sixth opens onto a carpeted, well-lit, warm hallway. Being a player wise in the ways of DM treachery, the PC declares, ""I'll go through one of the cold, dark ones.""<br/>The DM mutters and announces that the doors suddenly blow shut, except for the nice one (and the cave entrance, of course.)<br/>""I'll try to open the doors,"" says the PC.<br/>""They're locked,"" the DM says bluntly.<br/>""I'll smash down the doors, then.""<br/>""They're all magically locked.""<br/>So the PC decides to leave the cave. The DM explains, ""Suddenly, a 12' ogre comes through the cave entrance! Are you going to run through the door?""<br/>""Of course not,"" retorts the PC, and he proceeds to butcher the ogre. After a long, hard battle, the PC is victorious. ""I'm leaving now,"" he says triumphantly, and proceeds to exit the cave.<br/>The DM groans and exclaims, ""A huge gust of wind blows you back inside!""<br/>The player replies, ""I guess I'll camp in here until the storm dies down.""<br/>Aggravated, the DM finally declares, ""You see the walls begin to close in around you. The only way out is through the well-lit hallway!""<br/><br/>27...""Okay, this adventure is called, 'How long will it take me to kill the dwarf?'""<br/>Took right around half an hour.<br/><br/>28...Your new to the rpg, and in your first mission you somehow get stuck on a very deadly mission with everyone knocked out except you, the ditz in the game, and the independent badass wo ran off after some chick as soon as she got out of the car and is now is no where in sight. The ditz is crying, begging for her mummy, all you can think is ""BLUE PILL BLUE PILL BLUE PILL!!!!"" And the gm is smiling at you."

Some were good and used real magic as a part of life unlike the new beings of today. Though some were not so good, some used their magic to enslave other beings and claimed the land as their own. Corrupting it and turning the most into a dry, lifeless wasteland. These nameless creatures sought to take control of all the lands, starting from the ice region all the way to the Kingdom of Meadows. In these times elves ruled as the humans do now before they made their leave to the forests.<br/><br/>The elves were unwilling to let these creatures destroy their Mother Earth any longer and gained aid from the remaining beings of their world to aid them in trapping these creatures down below. Deeper then the dwarven mines they must be sent where nothing but fire exsists. The flames will conceal them for all time.<br/><br/>As it were a great battle was fought, many races of creatures found their exstinction that day. The ones who remained would live on into the new world. The battle ended in elven favor but at such a great price. They managed to trap these nameless down in the depth of an enchanted fire, so far down it reached their Earth's core. The relic they used to do this however had become corrupted, breaking into four pieces and at first thought to be harmless.<br/><br/>The essence of these creatures however was trapped inside the pieces, anyone who touched it slowly began to lose their sanity. And it didn't stop there, it spread like a desease from the holder to others, slowly but steadily. Realising this four were sent to dispose of the pieces, taking them back to the wasteland they came from where they could not touch anyone else again. The four never returned but a week after they were sent things began to act more normally as it was meant to. No one ever knew what happened to the four nor where the pieces ended up. It was decided not to discuss it further, the less known the less likely the relics could be found.<br/><br/>Hundreds of years have passed since that, new beings began surfacing on the New Earth. One of those being early humans. The need for magic was becoming less and less and so the elves decided to take these early forms of humans and educate them. Other races seperated and spread out amongst the land, lesser beings took dwelling near the wastelands but even they wouldn't go in. More long years past and humans were now taking in the ways of the elves. Thinking for themselves and living off the lands, making intelligent decisions.<br/><br/>The race of the elves after the great battle were faltering in numbers, soon this land would need a new being to watch over it. So after intrusting the humans with the task the elves then went into the forest, becoming a scarce race to find as they live out the rest of their lives. The humans have built three seperate kingdoms over the land, after coming to some minor disagreements of how things should be ran. The kingdoms have under gone several battles over the new years, even going through several kings in the process after falling in combat. Ven's Keep is now ruled by the more cowardly younger brother, Ezra, of the fallen king. His son Fredrick is next in line for the throne, a spitting image of his father to the letter. Then there's his niece Isabeth, the daughter of the former ruler. Ezra took so much delight in the girl he named her his third heir.<br/><br/>Despite the obvious set backs and cowardous acts among the nobles, the kingdoms have seen many peaceful years. Everything has seemed to fallen into a set and content place and except for a still few the days of magic seemed to be drawing an end. That was at least until the day, the young son of a farmer found a pretty piece of jade tablet..."

When dice are used they will be used for combat and spell resistance.<br/><br/>I don't see a lot of combat happening all the time but the relic does and will have various effects on the people and surroundings. So think what could happen taking a cursed relic in an area where a bunch of already aggressive orcs are hiding.<br/><br/>As part of the freeform factor, my main characters won't be dying off if they do happen to lose a battle. You might suffer effects of a death like state and even get yourself trapped in an other worldly plane that wants to take your soul but sooner or later you'll be saved.  :)<br/><br/>I decided to put the game here just for the fact the relic might make people do things that may be considered non-consenting and the fact people are gonna be involved in battle.

Athletic, toned body. Tanned. Bear claw scars across chest. Wears a black hooded cloak over a forest freen tunic and leather pants. Durable but soft leather boots. Long hunting knife on a belt at his hip along. A Long Bow and Quiver of Arrows on his back, the quiver painted black and waterproof as it is strapped to the outside of his cloak.<br/><br/>Background: Born to a family of Hunters, Dargoth quickly learned to track animals and set small traps at an early age. Never schooled, he is illiterate and unfamiliar with foreign customs. His childhood was mostly lonely, so socially he is very shy. He often prefers to work alone but makes exceptions if it means greater pay.<br/><br/>By the time he was 10 he had learned how to skin an animal and how to use a bow. He soon accompanied his brothers and father on hunting and tracking expeditions. At the age of 16 he was allowed to go off on his own. It was at this point that he stumbled upon a bear, from which he suffered a terrible injury but killed the bear. Another woodsman found him and nursed him back to health, teaching him about herbs as he recovered to be better prepared in the future.<br/><br/>Special Equipment: Composite Long Bow [3] + 1 Frost<br/>Mithral Chain Shirt + 1 of Shadows and Silence<br/>Bracers of Dex +2<br/>Belt of Straight +2<br/>Quiver of Ehlonna<br/><br/>Normal Equipment: Dagger<br/><br/><br/><strong>BK Geno</strong><br/><br/>Celgion Veledian<br/><br/>Description:<br/>Standing at five and a half feet, with long, dark burnished copper hair to his mid back, beautiful copper scales, and a pair of laughing emerald eyes, Celgion Veledian is, in his opinion, perfect. He weighs not even a hundred pounds, and his muscles are tone, but not large, giving him the body of a swimmer. Wearing a loose robe so his wings are free, he is a handsome blending of a copper dragon and an elf.<br/><br/>His robe is a dark green, and matches the light gray of his magic cloak and boots. He wears a small circlet, and carries a large quiver on his back, as well as several belt pouches around his waist.<br/><br/>History:<br/>Born in a relatively normal relatinship, if normal can apply to a female copper dragon with an elven mate, Celgion was raised by his father, his mother spending most of her time away, fighting evil and slavery. Living among the other elven children, Celgion learned quckly to be cautious, his superior build made it easy to hurt them. He discovered his sorcerous abilities at an unusually young age, accidently cheating at a game of hide and seek, as bright red and purple flames outlined the children.<br/><br/>Even as a child, Celgion was an attractive person, and only got better looking as he grew older. Thus, it was easier to develope a reputation for being promiscuous, and being exotic even by elven standards certainly helped. While he let quite a large group of women into his bed, there were three that he continuously revisted.<br/><br/>One of his childhood female friends, who was also his first, named Layla Everstar.<br/>The second was Celrenia StealthBlade, a 'procurer' of considerable skill, was a companion on several of his adventures, and the more daring of his three lovers.<br/>The final was his 'favorite', Alonial Birchmagic, was easily the most attractive of the three, and a wizardess of considerable skill, also a companion on several of his adventures. Both Celrenia and Alonial politely detested each other, even though when Celgion was around they got along very well, even willing to indulge him in threesomes.<br/>---------------------------------------------<br/>Skills:<br/>Bluff: +15<br/>Concentration: +10<br/>Knowledge (Arcana): +11<br/>Hide: +7<br/>Move Silent: +7<br/>Spellcraft: +11<br/>Use Magic Device: +11<br/><br/>Abilities:<br/>Darkvision 60ft<br/>Lowlight Vision<br/>30ft, Glide 20ft<br/>Immune vs sleep/paralysis/acid<br/>Breathe Weapon<br/>---------------------------------------------<br/>Special Equipment:<br/>Quiver of Ehlonna<br/>Circlet of Persausion<br/>Ring of Sustenance<br/>Boots of ElvenKind<br/>Cloak of Elvenkind<br/>Bracers of Armor +3<br/>Composite Shortbow +1<br/>Masterwork Rapier<br/>---------------------------------------------<br/>Normal Equipment:<br/>Javelins<br/>Spell pouch<br/>Backpack<br/>Silk rope<br/>Bedroll<br/>Waterskin<br/>Trail rations<br/>Shovel<br/>Signal Whistle<br/>Map Case<br/>Sacks<br/>Small steel mirror<br/>50 gems of various quality and types<br/><br/><br/><strong>Far eyes</strong><br/><br/>Bear<br/><br/>Description.<br/>Bear is well over 320Cm tall and some 450kg heavy without any armor or weapons, almost all of his height and mass are pure muscles and straight. He has rough slightly dark brownish skin and large fierce looking nails on his hands or perhaps better described as claws. He stands up right with massive shoulders and a chest like two barrels. He has two symmetrical tusks with a gold band on each for decoration. He wares his long red main of hair tied together in a ponytail. His ears and eyes, most of all his eyes speak of his elf heritage.<br/><br/>When on duty he wares a Spiked Full Plate of pitch Black armor and a large wicked looking Great sword on his back. The helmet has a simple design with straight lines to better deflect blows. The armor and brows of the helm carry large spikes as well as his shoulders, gauntlets and steel boots. All in all giving him a very dangerous look.<br/><br/>Background story<br/>Bear is some 30 years old he came to the Ven's Keep when he was barely a grown man. But he was already larger then any elf or human and by far stronger. The high Mage devised a means of securely controling him. Just in case. Around his neck is a collar of mithral and magic, their were 4 controller rings made. When the wearer of this ring activated the magic he or she could speak a command and bear would do it no matter what. In truth the ring and collar was never needed but all the same it was kept just in case the towering hulk should on day become a danger.<br/><br/>He could work like 10 other men together and at nights many of the household’s girls took advantage of his nature and used his straight and large form in more pleasure full exercises. As he was a half bread it was newer a danger that one of them could stay with child. Just one of the many advantages he had over others, his size being the other. And his endurance not to be forgotten.<br/><br/>Special Equipment:<br/><br/>Admantine L. Great Sword Keen<br/>Mithral Full Plate [Light Fortified] +1<br/><br/><br/><strong>SpirituallyAddicted</strong><br/><br/>Isabeth<br/><br/>Description and History:<br/><br/>Isabeth is the niece of King Ezra of Ven's Keep, one of the three kingdoms in the human lands. Her father ruled before her uncle but fell in a civil battle with the neighboring kingdom of Alel Keep. Her uncle took the throne soon after and instead of furthering the battle made peace, or in the eyes of many cowered to the stronger king's demands. Either way the Keep would see many peaceful years. Isabeth became a prized possession of the king and became an older sister to his own son Fredrick.<br/><br/>At a still young age she took up interest in the arts of her uncle's healer and begun spending much time with the old man. He began teaching her a few things about the art of healing and further developing her natural gift of sight. He had been sensing his nearing end and wanted to teach everything he could to her, never having a child of his own to pass his knowledge to. Though his end wasn't as near as he thought, ten years had past before that came leaving the girl in her early twenties. Though she had learned much from her mentor she still lacks the years of knowledge to make her skills great. She is rightfully third in line to the throne but would happily give the position away if she could.<br/><br/>In the prime of her life she has grown into a fair young woman, twenty-three years in age. Except for the curves of her body she wouldn't be considered a threat in physical battle other then a distraction. She's quite frail and has never lifted a weapon in her life. The most in the way of labor she has done is perhaps carrying a stack of books and scrolls from the lower levels of the keep to the tower. She has long, light blonde hair and green eyes and a smile so beautiful it is mentioned even in the far regions of the third kingdom. Her dresses are light colored and flowing and often she wears a white hooded cape around her shoulders if she is to venture out into the city.<br/><br/>Skills,Abilities and Weaknesses:<br/><br/>Isabeth has enough agility to run and hide if needed. In a physical battle she would do poorly, lacking strength needed to defend herself or offer much of an offense.<br/><br/>What she lacks in physical strength she makes up for in intelligence, wisdom and charisma. She also uses various items to help increase these attributes.<br/><br/>Special Equipment:<br/><br/>Tiara of Beauty, though used mostly as a simple decoration for her hair, the plain looking golden band serves another purpose. It increases her charisma points as well as making a pretty hair piece.<br/><br/>Ring of Clarity, given to her by her mentor to help her focus and icrease her spell power. Her mentor having such large fingers for an older man she has to wear the beautifully crafted gold ring on her thumb.<br/><br/>Hair pin of Disguise, another item given to her by her mentor. Mostly used for harmless trickery and pranks but can serve more important purposes. Can alter her appearence with some limitations.<br/><br/>Ring of Protections, offers some in the way of physical resistance if it is needed.<br/><br/>Normal Equipment:<br/><br/>Clothing of course, usually gowns of flowing white or light colors. Usually a light grey or blue trimmed in gold thread. As much as she tries to escape the look of royality it is usually to no good. Her clothes and hair are usually done by very insistant maids, determined to have the young noble look like a lady.<br/><br/>A walking stick, which carries no magical purpose she still uses it as a focal point in her casting.<br/><br/><br/>"

Things had changed so much over the weeks that she hardly reckonized her home any longer. It was mostly the villiagers right now, senseless acts of violence and other unimaginable happenings. If word got out of the Kee's current state then it wouldn't take long for one of the neighboring kingdoms to organize a take over to further their territory.<br/><br/>She had locked herself in her room that morning, ignored the constant knocking of the chamber maids who insisting on fixing her Lady's hair and laying out her dress. That was a normal everyday thing though, just this morning she wasn't in the mood. It had been a few days since she had to confine her uncle and cousin to their own dungeon. When the news of the guards killing that farm boy got out her uncle insisted on knowing why. No one knew, all they had was the beautiful jade stone the boy still had clenched in his hand even after death. Uncled touched the stone, then passed it to Fredrick which at first found no interest in it.<br/><br/>Days later they both were carrying on like mad children, fighting over it and taking such insanity. A day later Uncle ran his own son through with his sword, it was a near fatal wound. He was lucky she was able to get to him in time. But even after that the madness didn't stop, so bad it got that she had to have the guards take them to a seperate cell in the dungeon. And even there their madness has not ceased, though with the distance between them and the strange stone it does have more moments where it subsides.<br/><br/>Again another round of knocking, finally enough to cause the Lady to rise from her chair and answer the door. She could barely answer a yes before three of the older maids enter, pushing her back into the room. A deep sigh escaping her lungs as she feels the brush being pulled through her hair. ""My Lady, it's past morning. Did our knocking not wake you? Oh, goodness, it's going to take hours to get these knots out of your hair,"" an older, plump woman began as the other two went to the wardrobe to gather out her day dress.<br/><br/>""Have my messengers returned yet?"" Isabeth asked, flinching as the old woman attacked one of the tangles in her hair. All she got was a shrug for a response, she should have known when it came to important things the old hens wouldn't know a thing. Thus another day begins... she hasn't stopped worrying about the boys she had sent out. Nor worrying that her invitations would be denied, though with the morning fuss it was hard to think clearly anymore and as the day progressed it would only get worse."

Silky brown hair stuck out from under the boy's cap, a look of pure terror on his face as he began to slowly realise how far he had ventured into the forest.<br/><br/>But it was on his Lady's command he be here, to find this so called great hunter.

Nearly three weeks ago, shortly after daybreak, the sun stopped moving. It hangs there, still, an angry eye, half-asleep, perpetually watching the city. At the same moment, all of the clocks, both those of magic and those of mechanics, stopped working. Everything says they should be working fine, but they're all stuck at the exact same moment; forty-three minutes after six in the morning.<br/><br/>In the first few days, it was discovered that no one was coming to the city. Normally, travelers arrive by the dozens, daily, but, since the sun stopped, not a single person has arrived. Even worse is that those who leave the city do not return. The population is growing more and more afraid with each passing hour, though the sun still hangs in the sky, mocking our fear of the passage of time.<br/><br/>While our food supply, magically augmented, and designed to last for years under a siege, will hold out for as long as we need, small riots have begun to break out across the city; looters taking what they can, and prophets proclaiming the end times. The gods have remained mysteriously silent, unwilling, or perhaps unable, to grant insight into this mystery, though they still grant their guidance in other matters.<br/><br/>And in the quiet hours, when the people calm themselves, you can hear it.

She felt naked without them, but it was better than having a rapegang or a lynch mob after her. There were a few idiots, though.

Surrounded by the ruins of an ancient civilization, people arrive nearly daily to brave the dangers of the dunes and the tombs beneath them in search of fabulous wealth and glory.<br/><br/>However, something strange happened this… morning. The sun rose, and then… it stopped. Just above the horizon, at 6:43 AM. It’s just hanging there, frozen. All of the clocks stopped, too, magical and mechanical. They seem to be in perfect working order… they just don’t move on their own. Everything works just fine… but people aren’t arriving in the city. And anyone who leaves doesn’t come back.<br/><br/>It’s been like this for nearly three weeks, as far as we can tell. The city’s nearly in a panic. Food’s running low, though we’ve augmented our stores with magic. People are disappearing, and fights are breaking out in the street. We haven’t heard a word from the outside world.<br/><br/>And, in the quiet hours, you can hear something stirring, deep beneath the city, a low thud, like a massive creature’s heavy breathing.<br/><br/>***************<br/><br/>I’m looking for players for my campaign-in-planning, “In One Day.” Using the D&D v3.5 system, players will start at 4th level. I’m still debating as to what books I’ll allow, mostly because I’m still trying to read through all of the new ones I picked up. For now, I’ll probably stick to the books closest to the Core; the Complete series, Spell Compendium, PHB/DMG 2, as well as the basic core, although I’d be willing to consider a few others.<br/><br/>Players will be assumed to already be in the city, though already being acquainted before it opens isn’t a requirement. I’m looking to keep this low-mid level, so it’ll probably end around 8th level, if not sooner. It’ll be fairly dungeon-crawl, though with opportunities for social encounters. The entire campaign will take place in the city and the dungeon beneath it, so I’d recommend against anything mounted, or requiring wide, open, outdoors to be effective.<br/><br/>Sexiness level will be mostly player driven; this game’s partly testing grounds for my regular group, though that doesn’t mean I won’t give it my full attention here, but it does mean there’ll be little or no plot-related sexing.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>Knew I was forgetting something! Since you've already used it, 36 is a good point buy. No rolling stats, for the love of my sanity... not after my last game, where everyone just handed their dice to one player, since he was either blessed by the dice gods, or cheating (I'm still not sure)... not a single roll was less than 14, and he had more 18's than should be legal, even though I watched him make every single roll. Point buy is perfectly balanced and equal for everyone.<br/><br/>Starting cash is standard wealth for 4th level, which is 5,400 gp. I won't put an upper limit on max item price, simply because if you want to blow 5000 on a single item, be my guest. Someone else will be very glad to take it when you die, due to lack of other items. >_><br/><br/>Also, one thing I came up with, today, to reflect the nature of the world setting; a new skill, Use Mechanical Device. Class skill for rogues, rangers, bards, and their ilk, this skill allows the use of mechanical items found throughout. Also, if a magic user (arcane or divine) attempts to use a mechanical device, they will suffer a failure chance equal to 5% times the level of their highest known spell. A single rank (2 skill points) in this skill negates that penalty entirely. There are some synergies that can apply, but I won't list them, here.<br/><br/>Firearms are also available; Simple proficiency is all it takes to wield them, but they are single-shot, and have long reload times (3 full rounds for a pistol, 1 minute for a rifle or shotgun) Base damage is 1d8 for a pistol, 1d10 for a rifle, and a 1d10, 10' cone for the shotgun. They are also, if if hadn't guessed, mechanical devices, subject to the failure % listed above. They also pierce any non-magical armor and shield bonuses. Ammo, while it can't become magical, for fear of risking damage to the gun, can be crafted from different metals, allowing for DR bypassing. Ammo costs the same as arrows, for simplicity. Pistols will be 50gp, rifles 75, shotguns 85. Same cost for Masterworking them, +300gp. I'm not going to be particular about weight, but they're about the same as their bow equivalents.<br/><br/>I intend this to be difficult; not overwhelming, to the point that fleeing is the only solution, but challenging enough that I almost hope to inflict a casualty or two, during the game. I'll probably end up going soft, anyway, though... I have that nasty habit."

Pistols may be used with Quick Draw to draw as a free action, allowing a full attack, if you have enough of them loaded. Rapid Reload drops the reload times one category; pistols are 1 full round, big guns are 3 rounds. If you have Weapon Focus in the weapon, it no longer provokes an AoO to fire it, otherwise, it does. Rifles cannot be used at melee range, requiring at least 5' between the shooter and the target.<br/><br/>Use Mechanical Device: INT based, Trained only. 5 ranks grants a +2 synergy to Disable device. Receives a +2 synergy from five ranks in either Disable Device or Knowledge: Architecture and Engineering. Receives a +2 circumstance bonus on a device if you have 5 ranks in the appropriate Craft skill."

She wears a shirt of silver metal, undecorated save for the collar, which bears an inscription of symbols alike to those around her head.

Golden blonde hair trickles down over her shoulders and to mid-back, resting just below the padded vest adorned on her upper half-a loose, black silk undershirt acting as a medium between the armor and her creamy flesh - two long, billowy blue sleeves running down each arm and swaying freely with her movements - her petite arms by no means taking up much room in there, from as much of the fabric is bouncing about as she walks. The vest cuts off at the midriff of her waist to reveal a few inches of a slighty-toned abdomen, one signifying she's probably trained in a bit of physical activity, but nothing too dense - she still retains each of her feminine curves...hourglass waist rolling into a short skirt bound by a thin plated covering to her abdomen. Two fingerless deep blue gloves rest on either hand, with a thin metal lining on their top, crescent-moon shaped decals skittering across the surface of each. Two white skintight thigh-highs adorn either leg, cutting off a few inches  before her hips to show off a few inches of barren flesh as well..her slender legs not having much defiinition, but are shapely enough to be worth catching a few glances at. A gentle smile hangs on her carnation-pink lips - which probably says she wouldn't even do anything if someone did.<br/>((<br/>http://h1.ripway.com/miachan/Sophia.jpg<br/>))<br/>Giving a light not to the barmaid immediately as they're led into the tavern, Sophia's steps are dainty and ginger, as she looks around, trying to remember the place, squinting her jade-green eyes a fragment...hips cocked to the side as her eyes brush over the room. However, as she falls behind the rest of the group, those little leather bootfalls are heard steadily speeding up to catch up with the gruop, and a faint, emberassed squeak exiting her lips. From the looks of her, *nobody* would guess that she could withhold the destructive power to tear this tavern to shreds...not to say that it'd happen, as it wouldn't be in Corellion's will. The seemingly shy sun-elf continues forward, smoothing her skirt underneath her bottom as she sits down ever-so-slowly-and-delicately into the wooden chair, as if it'd snap beneath her weight if she moved a wrong way.<br/><br/>Folding her hands in her lap..she waits for everyone to arrive before she would dare touch the food presented to them. With such a..feast, it was inevitable a favor was coming. Miirth's place hasn't changed a stitch from the last time she'd been here..searching and lonely. Of course, that ended up with her enduring a bit of rambling - but it's not as if she had the guts to speak up for herself to move away from such anyway. Slowly, her eyes divert over to Jaina, and especially her panther...an obvious hint of fascination in her eyes as they touch the cat...<br/><br/>..Peering slowly up to Jaina, Sophia purses her lips to speak slightly - but they dwindle shut in a few moments again. Seems she was too shy to outright ask what she wanted to..especially around new people."

He rolls them open and he says; ""The items are widely appart, but they share common history; All items are regalia or once owned by Bhaal cult worshippers. Some of them are mere trinkets, some are cursed and some are even magicall.<br/><br/>Firstly there is in Amn a retired assassin called Kernas 'Bloodbane' who holds a broken sword which belonged to a famed Bhaal worshipping assassin of very dire repute. Weapon lost all it's magics when it was sundered by paladin of Tyr but it is cursed somehow because anyone weak minded near it picks the blade and goes endless carnage until person is stopped or killed. Kernas obviously is not swayed by the blade but be cautious around the blade.<br/><br/>Second item is skull of a necromancer who belonged to the cult and it is magicall minor artifact. It can raise by will alone undead servants and sometimes does so by own will but these udnead would rampage around wildly, killing anything on sight expect the wielder of the skull. The skull also enchances necromantic spells and effects and is otherwise powerfull tool for necromancer. Last loaction was somewhere in Moonsea area because a attendant of Cyric head priest of Zhentil Keep got his hands onto skull and disappeared somewhere into the region. I advice keep ear out for any randomly rising undead.<br/><br/>Third item is non-magicall ruby neklace wher erubies have been decorated into form of crimson tears, I heard some local noblewoman haves it in her personall collection but she refuses utterly not to sell it any cost! This item is not cursed but haves a dire past; Anyone who have owned the neklace have murdered to get it and got themselves murdered when someone else have taked the neklace from them and present owner is the 17 one to own this neklace. Of course I have tried steal it myself but security in the nbolewoman's house are one top notch, both mechanical and magicall wise altough the noblewoman is paranoid about casters and thieves. The noblewoman is called Lady Kayles Brook and is succesfull runner of Ladies House, basically ladies only top class club, here at Waterdeep.<br/><br/>Fourth is a non-magicall ring whit tear shaped ruby, whit somewhat similar bloody history of the ruby neklace, is owned by a red wizard called Nuzrim Beldar and resides at moment somewhere in Thay, probably in it's capital or other big cities because that man loves luxury alot and also gladiator entertainment.<br/><br/>Fifth is a magicall dagger made from, according legends, from frozen blood of Auril herself when Bhaal one point had grudge whit her and wounded her whit his dagger. The item was originally held sacred by Bhaal but when Bhaal died Aurilians did not waste time to steal it and take the item as their own sacred regalia. At moment location is unkwon but it was last time spotted in hips of head priestess of Auril in northern faerun mountain temple at Icewind Dale, the location of tmeple is unkwon also but locals may help more better in locating it than I do.<br/><br/>Sixth item is crimson feather cape, which according legend was made from teared feathers of celestial champion and feathers had been doused on thousand victims hearthblood. It is very vile cape and inspires storng drea dand fear and gives strong confidence along whit strong health to it's wielder in return that the wilder ahves to douse time to time feed the cape's endless bloodlust. This itme is held by famous pirate called Kornos 'Bloodstorm', in Pirate's Isles.<br/><br/>Seventh item I am tracking at moment and it is called Tome of Blood, the most ancient and odlest Bhaal prayer book amde form human skin and writed in blood of Bhaal himself. It holds all the most vilest blood rituals of the Bhaal cult, records the msot grimest deeds and also it is said Bhaal himself wrote the first chapter which tells how he becomed god and bit about his own life and past. No one knows what powers that tome haves, not evne priests of Bhaal dared touch the book or use it's stored power altough it is know it holds unkwon but extremely potent magic whitting it's pages. Anycase tome disappeared after Bhaal died, it literally disappeared whit crimson red smoke from a temple when Bhaal falled and it is also believed the tome was destroyed because it was holded up by Bhaal's essence. But because the person-which-name-I-do-not-say is after it too I asume the book still exchists."""

Not much meat on the bones yet, I need to get a feel for him during play first.<br/><br/>Alexander Paris was born in Athen, Greece. His mother was a greek, but  his father was american, he has dual citizenships. From a very young age it was obvious that he was something special, he was a rathar charming child, but kept to himself most of the time. He was extremly good at sports from a very early age. At the young age of 16 he won a gold medal in archery at the olympics in Sidney. It was at that time his real father, pleased with his progress, chose to reveal himself  to him.<br/>Knowing that he was the son of a god made Alexander even more determined to prove himself. 4 years later, at the olympics in Athen, he suprised everyone by not competing in Archery. Instead he won gold medals in wrestling, javelin throw and 400 metre hurdles, propelling him to almost mythical status in the history of the olympics. Rumors are flying around about wether or not he will compete in Bejing, and if so, in wich events?<br/>For the last 3 years, Alexander has studied medecine in a prestigeous college in the states. While not more than averagly bright, he's a natural when it comes to medicine due to Apollo's role as the God of Medicine and Healing. He has now taken a break in his studies though, as he has been charged with a grand quest by his father. He is supposed to uncover several mythical artifacts from ancient times, that can be used against the Titans. So far he has discovered the sword of Castor, and the bow of Illion. While not the actuall bow used to slay the mighty Achilles, it has some wooden parts from the bow of the original Paris, making it a mighty weapon indeed. Left to discover are the Armor of Achilles, the Helmet of Hektor, the Spear of Pollux, the Shield of Odysseus, and the Arrows of Apollo, Artemis and Zeus. Something tells him that those artifacts won't be as easy to find. He is currently in Africa, following a lead to one of the artifacts.<br/><br/>Apperance: Alexander is slightly taller than average, with an athletic build. He has a nice tan, green eyes and blond, curly hair. He looks every bit as a Greek God of legend. Those who know about the Scions walking the earth can tell almost just by looking at him that he is a son of Apollo.<br/>"

Back then all the stories belonged to his father the Sky God Nyame. Nyame set Anansi three tasks, which most believed impossible to do.<br/><br/>The first was to bring him Mmoboro hornets. Anansi hollowed out a small gourd, and crafted a stopper for it. He then took a larger gourd, hollowed it and filled it with water. He poured the water onto the hornet's nest, and from that nest sprang many angry hornets. ""You silly creatures!"" Anansi cried. ""Why do you stay out here in the rain? I am to small to fit in this gourd, but you are not!"" and so into the gourd slipped the hornets, afraid that another downpour was coming.<br/><br/>The second task was to bring him Onini, the python. Anansi first tried a trip noose, placing berries that Onini loved in the center. But when Onini took the bait, he was so strong that he broke the noose without realizing it was there. Next Anansi tried a grease-pit, with plantains at it's center, but Onini just wrapped his tail around the tree, and slipped his front down into the pit to eat the plantains, then pulled himself back out by his tail when he was done. Anansi was getting worried. Next Anansi tried a fly-up, baiting it with an egg, but Onini was feeling so happy that day that he was raised above the ground. When he spotted the egg he just bent over and snatched it up in his mouth, never even coming onto the net Anansi had planned to use.<br/><br/>Kwaku Anansi was very worried now. If he could not even catch Onini, how could he ever earn the stories... and if it was this hard, even if he succeeded, could he complete Nyame's third task? Anansi sat himself down in his home and began to think, and think, and think even more. Eventually he came upon a plan, one that he hoped would work. He strolled down near the river where Onini lived, muttering to himself. ""No, he must be, but father said that he was not."" Hearing Anansi muttering to himself, the snake slowly peeked his head out of his den. ""Kwaku Anansssssi."" He said, ""What are you mumbling about?"" Anansi seemed taken aback at Onini's presence and stumbled back. ""Oh great serpent!"" He cried. ""I was speaking with my father, and I said that you are the longest of all living things. But Nyame said that no, it was the bamboo tree. I am sure that cannot be right, but how can it be proven?""<br/><br/>Onini did not want to contradict Nyame, but since Nyame's own son Anansi was the one that was challenging him he was emboldened. ""Of course I am the longest of all living things. We can test it easily. Cut down the tallest bamboo tree you can find, and bring it here. I will lay beside it so you can see I am longer."" Anansi nodded, and sprung off to do what he was told. The art of the con, after all, is letting your target have your own way. He brought back the bamboo pole, stripped of all it's branches and laid it on the ground. The snake then laid beside it. ""Now, measure me against the poll. You will see that I am larger.""<br/><br/>But Kwaku Anansi shook his head. ""Onini my friend, this will never do. I am small, so I have to go from end to end to see if you are longer, but when I am at your tail you could slither down, and when I am at your head, you can slither up. No one will believe our measure."" Onini by now was rather comitted to his statement that he was the longest, so he crafted an idea. ""I know Anansi. Tie my tail to the end of the pole, and then I will stretch all the way out and you will see that I am longer."" Anansi was quick to comply. Then Onini stretched himself out as long as he could... but he still could not reach. Anansi scurried up to Onini's head. ""Onini, you are growing pale from strain. Let me tie off your middle so that you can rest, and not fall back. Onini agreed, as he was getting very tired by this point.<br/><br/>So Anansi tied off Onini's middle, and the stretching began again... but Onini was still to short, so Anansi called ""Stretch Onini, with all you have. Then we can show father. Stretch so hard your eyes close!"" and Onini did. And while his eyes were closed, Anansi tied Onini's head to the pole. ""There! Now I can show you to father."" And, straining under the python's weight, Anansi brought Onini to Nyame.<br/><br/>Kwaku Anansi's third task was to bring Nyame Osebo the Leopard. This truly worried Anansi, for Leopard was strong, and fierce, and what's more, he was smarter than brother lion or brother tiger as well. He would not be so easy to trick as Onini had been... and he would only get one chance... but the stories were truly precious to Anansi, so Anansi sat and thought, and thought, until he finally had an idea.<br/><br/>He dug a very deep pit in the middle of the forest where Osebo lived, and covered it with branches and earth until it could not be seen. He then waited until he saw Osebo passing by and called out. ""Osebo. Over here Osebo, here is something for you to eat!"" Osebo, seeing Anansi, leapt at him, snarling, but when he landed, he fell into the deep pit that Anansi had dug. Anansi waited a while, then came to the edge of the pit. ""Anansi!"" Cried Osebo. ""Help me out, Anansi.""<br/><br/>Anansi shook his head. ""No, I can't. Because if I do, you will eat me."" ""I will not, I swear"" Cried Osebo. ""Very well."" Said Anansi, who then bent a sappling down to the edge of the pit, and tied it down. He then tied a long vine to the end of the sapling, and sent the other end down to Osebo. ""Quickly, tie the other end of this vine to your tail, but be sure to make the knot very tight!"" Osebo hurried to do so, and when he called that the knot was ready, Anansi untied the sapling, which pulled leopard out of the pit, and into the air... where he hung helpless enough for Anansi to kill him.<br/><br/>Anansi then brought Leopard to Nyame, and handed him over. At this Nyame was most surprised. His tiny son had somehow managed to slay Osebo the leopard. He had not wanted Osebo dead, and was upset that he was, but he had not told Anansi to keep him alive, and he was pleased at his son's success, so he granted Anansi's wish. And that is why from that day to this, all stories told by the Ashanti are called Anansi stories.<br/><br/>But that was not the end of brother Leopard, no. Nyame breathed into Osebo, and brought him back to life, but instructed him that he could not take revenge on Anansi for killing him. Fearing Nyame, Osebo agreed, but kept mindful of the event, and waited for another offense that he could use to end the life of the trickster.<br/><br/>After some time, Anansi became counselor and judge for the lazy lion, king of the Jungle and the Savanna. The lion left the actual judging of cases to Anansi. Anansi was not the cruelest of creatures, but he was very selfish, and so most of his rulings were not for the good of the people, but for his own good. This angered the people, but King Lion would hear nothing against him. One day, so early that Anansi had not yet woken on his own, Lion decided to go hunting, and called Anansi to him. ""I am giving you the honor of coming with me on a hunt.""<br/><br/>They traveled to a watering hole where the animals had taken to drinking, but by the time they got there, Lion was far to tired, and laid down in the shade. ""Anansi, you are my councelor, and very clever are you not?"" Asked the king. Fearful for his life and his position, Anansi agreed. ""Yes oh King, quite cleaver, and very honored."" The lion yawned a great yawn, and licked his chops, before continuing. ""Then figure out a way for me to hunt these creatures easily, I am tired, and do not want to show my strength."" Anansi sat and puzzled for a bit, before coming up with a solution. ""I could build pits all about, and then you could walk around the area and roar, and in their fear the animals would run and fall and get trapped."" The king was pleased, and set Anansi to digging the many deep pits. Finally, in noon heat, Anansi had finished the pits, and the Lion walked around the watering hole, roaring. The animals ran and scattered, and many of them fell in the pits, and most of those died.<br/><br/>""Kwaku Anansi."" growled the king. ""I am pleased with my kill, but how do you suggest we get the animals out of the pit?"" Anansi shivered, but quickly picked came up with an idea. ""I can tie the animals in the pits below up with rope made from the creeper vines."" ""And you will then pull them up using those vines, good."" Said the king, indicating that he would rather not do the work himself. ""Oh but my king. While I, your counselor am clever, you are the king, full of might. Surely you can see that while I can not possibly lift them, it would be a simple task for you."" So the Lion agreed, and hauled the animals from their pits, and there was much meat there, enough that even after the hungry lion had stuffed himself, there was still much left.<br/><br/>Though full, the greedy lion did not want to leave any of his kill for others, so he turned to Anansi and asked ""Kwaku Anansi, how shall we get the rest of my kill home?"" Anansi had seen this coming, and so answered quickly. ""Magesty, I can take some saplings, and make a sled for you, to carry the meat on."" The king frowned at the thought of more work. ""And you will not carry the meat for me? There is less of it than before."" ""Yes my lord, but there is still far to much for me. And besides, would it be fitting for me to carry the kill of the magnificent King? If you carry it, everyone else will know it was you who caught this mighty feast."" And Anansi's words Mollified the king.<br/><br/>So they took the meat home in the manner Anansi had described. By the time they arived it was late evening, and the king was once again hungry. He sat down to enjoy the meat that Anansi had worked so hard to help him gain, and, even while eating it, asked Anansi. ""Kwaku Anansi, what do you think we should do with this meat?"" Now by this time Anansi was tired, and starving, and quite cross for he had worked all day, and not had a morsel all day. ""Well your majesty, since you asked me, and since I worked so hard to help you make your kill, I think you should allow me the little bit I need to fill my belly, and then reserve the largest share for yourself."" The king lurched to his feat, growling. ""You DARE to tell me, the king, what I should do with my own meat?"" the king roared. Anansi shrunk back, fearful for his life, and replied ""No your majesty, I was not thinking, I require nothing, please forgive me!"" The king stared at Anansi for a long time, before settling back down, still staring at him with cold, inscrutable eyes. ""Kwaku Anansi, there is a trap I recall that we forgot to clear. Your punishment for speaking to me so disrespectfully is to go and bring me whatever you find in it.""<br/><br/>Anansi fled the lion king's den, and hurried towards the pits he had dug that morning, though it was slow going due to the dark and danger of the night. On his way, he had time to think, and realized that the only reason the King hadn't killed him yet was that he remembered the trap, and did not want to have to fetch the meat himself. Sure that the king would kill him on his return, he gathered up leaves he knew to be poisonous. When he arrived at the pit, he found a large buck deer in the pit, and forced it to eat the leaves. When the poison had run through the deer, and had soundly killed it, Anansi hauled the deer out of the put, and slowly dragged it back to the Lion's den. So hard was the work that he did not arrive until the next Morning.<br/><br/>As Anansi neared the den, he sang out loudly. ""Here is indeed meat fit for a king, this is the best meat of the forest. Only a king should eat it."" When the king heard this, he pounced on the kill, and set to devour it, so hungry and greedy was he. In the mean time, Anansi scuttled off to hide. Once more full, the king laid down for a nap, deciding to wait for a bit to find and kill the spider. But he was awoken from his nap by a fierce pain in his belly. For an hour the roars of suffering of the lion were heard through the forest, before he laid still.<br/><br/>The animals rejoiced to be freed from their lazy king, and soon a new king was appointed. Strong, swift, speedy<em>Osebo the leopard</em>. His first act as king was to remove Anansi from his position, and call for him to be brought before him, so that he could be punished for all of his bad rulings when lion had been king... but when the animals went to Anansi's home, they found it empty. Having heard that Osebo was to be made king, he had already fled the country.<br/><br/>He settled to live in the neighboring country of King Rat, and for a time lived there happy and prosperous. Unfortunately for him, one day King Rat was visiting King Osebo, and King Leopard mentioned his distaste for Anansi, and his public reason for it, that of Anansi's poor and selfish counsel. King Rat, knowing who his subjects were, was shocked. ""Brother Leopard."" He said ""I had no idea such a rogue was among my people. Please, send who you wish for him, I will not oppose it."" Osebo had since appointed as his counselor Kisander the cat, who also greatly disliked Anansi for his own reasons. Kisander agreed that they should send servants to find Anansi.<br/><br/>And so Leopard and Kisander sent two of their most trusted followers to find Anansi. But Anansi had heard of the Rat King's visit. He would have fled, but he had such a nice life in the Rat King's kingdom that he instead devised a plan. He built a deep pit in front of his hut, filled it with deadly spikes, and made a small exit for himself in the back of his hut. When the servants of King Leopard came to find Anansi, he called them over to his door, and down into the pit they fell, dieing on the spikes.<br/><br/>After a time, Osebo and Kisander sent more servants after Kwaku Anansi, warning them not to fall for Anansi's persuasions and tricks, and those servants too met their deaths in the trap.<br/><br/>Finally, Osebo went himself to bring back the terrible Anansi. When Anansi heard that Osebo himself was coming, he set up his chair in the door of his house, and pretended to be asleep. So intent was Osebo on sneaking up on Anansi, that he did not notice the pit in front of him, and yet again, Anansi's tricks and one of his pits proved to be the Downfall of King Osebo.<br/><br/>To make sure that Osebo would trouble him no more, Anansi skinned, cooked, and ate Osebo, and Osebo's skin has hung on the wall ever since. That is, until it was made into a vest, for one of Anansi's favored children. The vest is lined with Anansi's own magical silk, which was died by his wife Aso, and the two wove it deep, and thick, and the cloth tells the story of how Anansi acquired Osebo's hide. The vest includes Osebo's head, which can either be worn as a hood, or draped over the wearer's shoulders, and is tied by the fur from osebo's arms, which still include his claws at the end of his paws. The silken lining of the vest also makes it cooling in hot climate, and warming in cold weather."

He had friends, played sports, grew interested in girls, lost friends, lost virginity, made new friends. Academically he was near the top of his class, especially in mathematics. He went to college on scholarship, until he was recruited by the United States Navy. He transfered into the Naval Academy and started his career as an officer in the US Armed Forces.<br/><br/>Never particularly strong, he nonetheless took to unarmed combat training with skill and determination that made him respected, if not feared, in sparring matches. He was complimented for being hard to hit and for being able to handle a lot of punishment.<br/><br/>On the shooting range, he was almost a legend. Never before having held a gun in his life, he was utterly hopeless on the first day of shooting practice. After the catastrophe, he returned to the shooting range with a calculator, a pad of paper, and a pencil. He called over a shooting instructor and asked for his help. Impressed by the initiative, the instructor started to talk about grips and support and recoil, when John stopped him, held up the weapon, and asked for help taking it apart. Perplexed, the instructor showed the recruit how to take apart the weapon, then watched in amazement as a full schematic of the weapon appeared on Raltash's pad, complete with force vectors for almost all of the variables involved in firing the weapon. The next day, Ranlyi was shooting like a marksman with years of practice. It would take him another year, however, to gain enough experience to adapt to the specific properties of any given firearm by feel and instinct rather than painstaking inspection.<br/><br/>Most significant was John's leadership potential. In his training exercises with enlisted recruits, he proved to be clear-thinking, level-headed, and more than a little inventive. Before each mission he got to know the command structure of his unit, learning the ways of his direct subordinates and encouraging them to do the same. His teams always did well in exercises and rarely dd his orders spark confusion among the ranks. Upon attaining the rank of Ensign he immediately applied for and was granted the opportunity to join the Navy SEALS. His performance in that training is buried in beurocratic secrecy, but his public record shows that he was decorated for bravery in a live-fire exercise, known as ""the exercise from hell"" by the squad under his ersatz command. Sealed records indicate that a grenade launcher misfired, collapsing a wooden observation tower and maiming three soldiers. Ensign Raltash ordered a general ceasefire and evacuation of the area while he personally excavated the soldiers from the rubble. Evidence of this event was eliminated when grenades damaged by the initial misfire detonated.<br/><br/>No records indicate the true significance of that event; the three men he rescued survived by the grace of god's blood in his veins. That evening, as he tended to his wounds, a man in his fifties entered the barracks. He was tall, amazingly handsome, and wore the dress uniform of an Admiral. He ordered the young lieutenant to follow him. Outside, the conversation turned unusual.<br/>""Ensign Raltash.""<br/>""Sir?""<br/>""I am your father.""<br/>""...sir?""<br/>""My name is Freyr. I am a god.""<br/>""Of course, sir. Would you follow me to the infirmary please?""<br/>""You were born in a cardboard box. You lost your virginity to a lesbian who was curious. You don't have the strength to be a SEAL but somehow you surpass every expectation of yourself and others. Your penis is longer than most men's arms.""<br/>""OK, so you know things about me. Anyone could know those things.""<br/>""You have a collection of the girliest anime ever produced.""<br/>""You have my attention. And possibly a death warrant.""<br/>""Meh, I'm immortal.""<br/>""So what, you've come to give me the<em>Daniel Jackson</em>?""<br/>""That's Thor's ship, and it's a TV show.""<br/>""So I guess no beaming technology.""<br/>""The whole reality versus fantasy thing hasn't set in yet, has it?""<br/>""I figure this is a dream. Watch, I'll start flying.""<br/>""...Son, get your face out of the mud. Please.""<br/>""OK, not a dream. Sir, I respectfully request permission to pee myself and run away screaming.""<br/>""Denied. I have orders for you.""<br/><br/>As time passed John became a decorated Lieutenant and eventually Lt. Commander in the SEALs. While most of his genuine operations are classified, it is a matter of public record that he has been wounded in the line of duty three times and recieved, in addition to the Purple Heart, the Marksmanship Medal for rifles, the Marksmanship Ribbon with Sharpshooter Marksmanship Device for pistols, the Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, the Combat Action Ribbon, the Meritorious Unit Commendation, the Navy ""E"" Ribbon, the Navy Expeditionary Medal, the Commendation Medal, and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Badge.<br/><br/>A few months ago, LTCM John Raltash and five SEALs under his command was placed under the direct command of ""Admiral Freyr"" and detached from the military on indefinate permanent reassignment. The Navy was ordered to ask no questions."

When the twins were very young, Zoe was killed in a crash with a drunk driver on Halloween. After this, Anubis returned to his duties, leaving the twins to be raised by Zoe's parents. He visited frequently, so the young children knew he still loved them. They also knew that he was a deity.<br/><br/>It was decided, however, that the twins should go under their mother's maiden name, Hook, as De'Ath was rather too conspicuous for an American family. The Hooks' close friends all knew about Anubis from a previous encounter, and most had completely forgotten that it wasn't normal to include a deity in dinner-party invitation lists. Then again, they all worked in a hospital, or had when younger - and what better place for the guardian of the dying, than in a hospital?<br/><br/>Mab and Nestors' powers manifested early, and one of Anubis' most frequent bonding activities was teaching them to use their abilities responsibly. Throughout school, Mab did reasonably well, while Nestor excelled. Mab had too short an attention span to really do well, but Nestor managed to drag her though and in the end, both had good enough grades to get into medical school, to the joy of their grandparents.<br/><br/>Nestor was destined to go on and become a brilliant doctor, following his grandfather and mother into the realm of neuroscience. Mab, on the other hand, soon became bored. In a time when it was fashionable to rebel by going goth, Mab found that this was impractical. After all, to her reasoning, her own father was the ultimate goth. So she struck out by becoming a punk. This led to her eventual expulsion from med school after an argument with one of her lecturers - he reasoned that bright purple and neon green hair, and clothes so brightly coloured that sunglasses were needed to look at her, was hardly conductive to medical learning. Mab claimed she was just expressing her individuality.<br/><br/>Mab had always gotten on well with her father, but both had firey tempers, and often clashed despite their affection. Whenever the two got into another slanging match, Nestor would travel to the 'Old Kingdom' and converse with a long-dead medical student named Paul. Paul had been good friends with Zoe all her life, and still felt an obligation to watch over her children, even though he didn't get along with Anubis. The twins never really found out why - all they knew was that it had something to do with a child, a long time ago. Because of his views, Paul discussed medicine with Nestor, although the ghost generally learned more than the boy, and also taught Mab about the ghost world, all the lost souls that her father was supposed to guard over. He also backed her to the hilt on every insane scheme she came up with - especially if it would annoy her father.<br/><br/>For a while, Mab returned to university to study the paranormal, but she grew bored with the stuffy classes and stuffier teachers quite rapidly. She started reading a textbook on legal studies, but grew bored before the course even started. She then became an animal trainer, and has stayed in this job for a record three years.<br/><br/>Over her teenage years and early adulthood, Mab had a succession of boyfriends from all walks of life, but her attention span was too short, and it was considered astounding if she stayed with someone for longer than three months. She would fall madly in love, but would then find that they couldn't hold her interest. The way she explained it once to Paul was that no one challenged her. They would all promise her the moon, and then be unable to deliver. So when she went out and got what she wanted by herself, they felt useless. And really, what was the point of keeping a man if he wasn't going to be useful?<br/><br/>After a particularly abrupt and nasty breakup, Mab started to become restless again. She temporarily closed her training service, and decided to take a holiday. The benefit of having such a large and wealthy extended family was that she didn't really have to work for a living - if it wasn't for the fact that she'd become bored, she could leech of them for her whole life. It was while discussing her plans with Anubis that he mentioned a Scion war in Africa. Mab decided to go and have a look. After all, war may be hell, but peace is fucking boring. So she packed a few things (including Nestor's medical textbooks) and travelled to Natal in order to give help to her fellow Scions.<br/><br/><br/><br/><pre><br/>Strength      3<br/>Dexterity      3<br/>Stamina         3<br/><br/>Perception      3<br/>Intelgence      3<br/>Wits         3<br/><br/>Charisma      3<br/>Manipulation      3<br/>Appearence      3<br/><br/>Academics      1<br/>*Animal Ken      5<br/>Art: Dance      1  <br/>Art: Wind Insturments   1<br/>Athletics      3<br/>Awareness      1<br/>Brawl         3  <br/>Command         0  <br/>Control: Car      0<br/>Control: Motorcycle   3<br/>Craft: Carpentry   1<br/>Craft Wind Insturments   1<br/>*Empathy      1  <br/>Fortitude      1<br/>*Integrity      3<br/>Investigation      0<br/>Larceny         1<br/>Marksmanship      0<br/>*Medecine      3<br/>*Melee         3<br/>*Occult         3<br/>Polotics      1  <br/>Science: Biology   1<br/>Stealth         1<br/>Survival      1<br/>Throwing      0<br/><br/>Legend         2<br/>Legend Points      4/4<br/><br/><br/>Birthrights<br/>Anteater of Doom!   4<br/>Scalpel         3<br/>Silver Ankh Necklace    2       Acess to Animal and Death Purview <br/>Skull Something      1      Acess to the Death Purview<br/>Mentor (Ghost)      3      Paul<br/><br/>Animal, Jackal      1   Animal Comunication<br/>Darkness      1   Night Eyes<br/>Death         1   Death Senses<br/>Epic Appearence      1<br/>Epic Charisma      1<br/>Epic Dexterity      1<br/>Epic Perception      1<br/>Epic Stamina      1<br/>Epic Strength      1<br/>Epic Wits      1</pre></pre>"

The Ahnk is the symbol for the afterlife (on this point I am willing concede ignorance, but Egyptian mythology has no tendency to worship life) and, much more importantly, an Ahnk is properly positioned<em>circle down</em>so your representation is, litterally, backwards.

The bit about ammo had me start researching the M16 -- the characters should be knowledgeable about their equipment after all. I remembered from the Scion book that not all M16s are capable of automatic fire. Well according to this, the M16A3 is one such model of the M16, which was produced in limited numbers in the 80s...for use by US Navy SEALs. On the other hand, the M16 doesn't really have the ammo capacity for automatic fire and the M16A4, standard issue to Army and Marine, is generally the superior weapon because of its sights and standardized mounts for additional sights. So I'll go with the more modern weapon, the A4.<br/><br/>I also think I am going to rebuild my armament, slightly. Throw another P90 in the back of the truck and use the M16 as my personal weapon, pull out the P90s when we need to fight in close quarters. This is what happens when you do research instead of ""Hey, the P90! That's the gun Jack uses! DIE JAFFA! HAHAHAHAHA!"""

Not proud of the rank, proud of everything he did to reach it. He approaches battle with military precision and command with care. There's no such thing as a frivolous order in his mind, and he believes authority comes from merit, not rank. On the job, he's careful, intelligent, and a bit rude as he despenses with nicities in favor of efficiency; this gets far worse in the heat of battle, but at that point no one really cares, generally. Off the job, John is a true pleasure to be around; generous, considerate, and a lover of all. In the war against Titans, he holds onto his military training and tries to ignore the simple facts of his existance.<br/><br/>Daric LaRone:<br/>An exceedingly junior officer, LaRone responds to uncertainty with regulations and training. It's saved his life more than once, but tends to make him unpopular outside military circles. He carries the Colt .45 Peacemaker in place of the standard issue M9, saying that he wanted a gun that was guaranteed not to jam when he fired it. Taking a cue from the Marines, who continued to use an automatic .45 caliber Colt known as the M1911A1, LaRone turned back the clock even farther to the original Colt .45, although his modern replica features several features the original did not.<br/><br/>Leo Marbury:<br/>Ensign Marbury handles a sniper rifle with a skill surpassed only by his commanding officer. He is as cold as they come, utterly ruthless and efficient. When not staring down the scope of a rifle, Leo tries not to think of how many people have died without ever knowing where he was when he shot them. He's open and friendly and a bit of a clown.<br/><br/>Kevin Hornblower:<br/>Originally a sailor on the USS Abraham Lincoln, Hornblower transferred to the SEALs when the duty of being a guard on an aircraft carrier became too tedious to bear. A qualified sniper, Hornblower convinced Marbury to retire his service pistol for a Desert Eagle, citing the sidearm's superior range and lethality. Of all the troops, Hornblower is the most ambitious, the most arrogant.<br/><br/>Horatio Keene:<br/>Keene is the group's field medic and general combatant. He stays close to John and has been trying to figure out how to work the MeadHorn, but so far no luck. He's the most empathic of the group, but that doesn't say much.<br/><br/>Bob Tentson:<br/>Tentson's ancestors were Japanese through the paternal line, and he still holds that ethnic heritage in his features. For the obvious reasons, Bob spent much of his service in the Asian theater. Of all the soldiers, Bob handles his M16 with greater comfort than his fellows and has tried all five varients of the rifle."

Any suggestions for improvements are welcome. Story time! Here's the background.<br/><br/>Mab (or Mabicle) was born in Lewiston, Maine, to Zoe and Anubis De'Ath, along with her twin brother Nestor. When the twins were very young, Zoe was killed in a crash with a drunk driver on Halloween. After this, Anubis returned to his duties, leaving the twins to be raised by Zoe's parents. He visited frequently, so the young children knew he still loved them. They also knew that he was a deity.<br/><br/>It was decided, however, that the twins should go under their mother's maiden name, Hook, as De'Ath was rather too conspicuous for an American family. The Hooks' close friends all knew about Anubis from a previous encounter, and most had completely forgotten that it wasn't normal to include a deity in dinner-party invitation lists. Then again, they all worked in a hospital, or had when younger - and what better place for the guardian of the dying, than in a hospital?<br/><br/>Mab and Nestors' powers manifested early, and one of Anubis' most frequent bonding activities was teaching them to use their abilities responsibly. Throughout school, Mab did reasonably well, while Nestor excelled. Mab had too short an attention span to really do well, but Nestor managed to drag her though and in the end, both had good enough grades to get into medical school, to the joy of their grandparents.<br/><br/>Nestor was destined to go on and become a brilliant doctor, following his grandfather and mother into the realm of neuroscience. Mab, on the other hand, soon became bored. In a time when it was fashionable to rebel by going goth, Mab found that this was impractical. After all, to her reasoning, her own father was the ultimate goth. So she struck out by becoming a punk. This led to her eventual expulsion from med school after an argument with one of her lecturers - he reasoned that bright purple and neon green hair, and clothes so brightly coloured that sunglasses were needed to look at her, was hardly conductive to medical learning. Mab claimed she was just expressing her individuality.<br/><br/>Mab had always gotten on well with her father, but both had firey tempers, and often clashed despite their affection. Whenever the two got into another slanging match, Nestor would travel to the 'Old Kingdom' and converse with a long-dead medical student named Paul. Paul had been good friends with Zoe all her life, and still felt an obligation to watch over her children, even though he didn't get along with Anubis. The twins never really found out why - all they knew was that it had something to do with a child, a long time ago. Because of his views, Paul discussed medicine with Nestor, although the ghost generally learned more than the boy, and also taught Mab about the ghost world, all the lost souls that her father was supposed to guard over. He also backed her to the hilt on every insane scheme she came up with - especially if it would annoy her father.<br/><br/>For a while, Mab returned to university to study the paranormal, but she grew bored with the stuffy classes and stuffier teachers quite rapidly. She started reading a textbook on legal studies, but grew bored before the course even started. She then became an animal trainer, and has stayed in this job for a record three years.<br/><br/>Over her teenage years and early adulthood, Mab had a succession of boyfriends from all walks of life, but her attention span was too short, and it was considered astounding if she stayed with someone for longer than three months. She would fall madly in love, but would then find that they couldn't hold her interest. The way she explained it once to Paul was that no one challenged her. They would all promise her the moon, and then be unable to deliver. So when she went out and got what she wanted by herself, they felt useless. And really, what was the point of keeping a man if he wasn't going to be useful?<br/><br/>After a particularly abrupt and nasty breakup, Mab started to become restless again. She temporarily closed her training service, and decided to take a holiday. The benefit of having such a large and wealthy extended family was that she didn't really have to work for a living - if it wasn't for the fact that she'd become bored, she could leech of them for her whole life. It was while discussing her plans with Anubis that he mentioned a Scion war in Africa. Mab decided to go and have a look. After all, war may be hell, but peace is fucking boring. So she packed a few things (including Nestor's medical textbooks) and travelled to Natal in order to give help to her fellow Scions.<br/><br/>"

Embedded in the outer edge of each of them are several red remige feathers, and orange covert feathers, which together give the impression of eight small wings projecting from the wearer's body. These feathers were actually taken from an example of the legendary phoenix.

As far as it has been measured, it forms a perfectly hyperbolic mirror with it's slightly convex outer surface. While the image one sees in the mirror is distorted, it is only slightly so, and might not be noticed. Beneath the outer layer of steel is another of carbon-ceramic, and beneath that is a coating of soft leather. The straps are quite easily adjustable, and include tying points for a sheath.<br/><br/><em>Spider Choker:</em> *<br/><br/>The spider choker appears to be a simple band of cloth of Ashanti make, until one finds that it is actually made of the structure silk of a spider, yet still woven thick and colored bright.

Any suggestions for improvements are welcome. Story time! Here's the background.<br/><br/>Mab (or Mabicle) was born in Lewiston, Maine, to Zoe and Anubis De'Ath, along with her twin brother Nestor. When the twins were very young, Zoe was killed in a crash with a drunk driver on Halloween. After this, Anubis returned to his duties, leaving the twins to be raised by Zoe's parents. He visited frequently, so the young children knew he still loved them. They also knew that he was a deity.<br/><br/>It was decided, however, that the twins should go under their mother's maiden name, Hook, as De'Ath was rather too conspicuous for an American family. The Hooks' close friends all knew about Anubis from a previous encounter, and most had completely forgotten that it wasn't normal to include a deity in dinner-party invitation lists. Then again, they all worked in a hospital, or had when younger - and what better place for the guardian of the dying, than in a hospital?<br/><br/>Mab and Nestors' powers manifested early, and one of Anubis' most frequent bonding activities was teaching them to use their abilities responsibly. Throughout school, Mab did reasonably well, while Nestor excelled. Mab had too short an attention span to really do well, but Nestor managed to drag her though and in the end, both had good enough grades to get into medical school, to the joy of their grandparents.<br/><br/>Nestor was destined to go on and become a brilliant doctor, following his grandfather and mother into the realm of neuroscience. Mab, on the other hand, soon became bored. In a time when it was fashionable to rebel by going goth, Mab found that this was impractical. After all, to her reasoning, her own father was the ultimate goth. So she struck out by becoming a punk. This led to her eventual expulsion from med school after an argument with one of her lecturers - he reasoned that bright purple and neon green hair, and clothes so brightly coloured that sunglasses were needed to look at her, was hardly conductive to medical learning. Mab claimed she was just expressing her individuality.<br/><br/>Mab had always gotten on well with her father, but both had firey tempers, and often clashed despite their affection. Whenever the two got into another slanging match, Nestor would travel to the 'Old Kingdom' and converse with a long-dead medical student named Paul. Paul had been good friends with Zoe all her life, and still felt an obligation to watch over her children, even though he didn't get along with Anubis. The twins never really found out why - all they knew was that it had something to do with a child, a long time ago. Because of his views, Paul discussed medicine with Nestor, although the ghost generally learned more than the boy, and also taught Mab about the ghost world, all the lost souls that her father was supposed to guard over. He also backed her to the hilt on every insane scheme she came up with - especially if it would annoy her father.<br/><br/>For a while, Mab returned to university to study the paranormal, but she grew bored with the stuffy classes and stuffier teachers quite rapidly. She started reading a textbook on legal studies, but grew bored before the course even started. She then became an animal trainer, and has stayed in this job for a record three years.<br/><br/>Over her teenage years and early adulthood, Mab had a succession of boyfriends from all walks of life, but her attention span was too short, and it was considered astounding if she stayed with someone for longer than three months. She would fall madly in love, but would then find that they couldn't hold her interest. The way she explained it once to Paul was that no one challenged her. They would all promise her the moon, and then be unable to deliver. So when she went out and got what she wanted by herself, they felt useless. And really, what was the point of keeping a man if he wasn't going to be useful?<br/><br/>After a particularly abrupt and nasty breakup, Mab started to become restless again. She temporarily closed her training service, and decided to take a holiday. The benefit of having such a large and wealthy extended family was that she didn't really have to work for a living - if it wasn't for the fact that she'd become bored, she could leech of them for her whole life. It was while discussing her plans with Anubis that he mentioned a Scion war in Africa. Mab decided to go and have a look. After all, war may be hell, but peace is fucking boring. So she packed a few things (including Nestor's medical textbooks) and travelled to Natal in order to give help to her fellow Scions."

This is uselfull to both sorcerrors and wizards alike. Also in the book is a nice PrC called 'Ultimate Magus' which is like mystic theurge but it combined sorcerror/wizard spellcasting plus give some few class features (like sacrafice spell slot from wizard side to use metamagic feat in sorcerror side whitout spending full round action to do so or sacrafice spell slot sorcerror side to use spontaneously metamagic feat whit wizard spell). I am not sure of the class features because I checked them only once so I may not remember them correctly but I am sure it gived one or two class features and also I recall that you can add spell from your wizard's spell book into spells known as sorcerror side (but max level was 5lvl or lower).<br/><br/>Also it haves some new spells and magic items (usual stuff) and also haves alot disucssion to influff information regarding magic and also magicall locations which bolsters arcane spellcaster a whole year (and one of them actually gives free metamagic feat for one year)."

This is common whit all items and I also tell littel of their history in additionwhere items were last lcoated along their possible owners.<br/><br/>First item is a shattered sword, a longsword whit mere one foot lenght of the blade left. It ahves golden hilt and crossguard is shaped as grinning skull whit skeletal fingers covering up side of the hand. It was once great magicall longsword belonging to Bhaal devoted assassin called 'Grim' but he died century before his masters demise and his blade was broken in his final duel against a paladin champion of Tyr.<br/><br/>Altough blade had lsoted msot of it's magic it still had intresting influence on people who taked iton their hands...or lived near it. It is probarly the legacy of the Grim and possessing the mysterious sword long time. So the paladin champion taked the shattered sword at temple in Sword Coast, and sended it to Abbey of the Sword. As you know the abbey was overrun near past and the blade was lost once more, but soon a weapon collector, a infamous retired assassin called Kernas 'Bloodbane', bought the blade in black market and added to his personall collection at Baldur's Gate. This far I tracked the blade.<br/><br/>Second item is skull of necromancer, a arcane devotee of Bhaal, who died five hundreds years before Time of Troubles and his skull works as excelent focus to many necromancy spells and it is rumored it haves mysterious power raise lesser undead by will. The skull was at hands of church of Bhaal in Moonsea until their god was slain and then the temple was raided by worshippers of Cyric and now the church of Cyric haves it. Of course the skull was at Zhentil Keep formany years and it was influencial in conflict to elt Cyrist win over banites when Bane died also and so the head prist holded the skull as holy artifact becuase Cyric had succeeded after all Bhaal in single combat so it was naturall Bhaal's servants skull now belonged to him.<br/><br/>But when bane returned and banites started holy war upon cyrist in the Zhentil keep and after banites effectively assassinated the head priest the head priests adept, a quite low ranked follower, snatched te skull and taked on run. I have tracked the man to loiter around Moonsea area, in some small village in Moonsea region but exactly where I cannot be certain. So you need go search all small towns and any smaller communities for him. The skull, altough can be controlled most of the time, haves tendecy raise undead spontaneously and wielder cannot control those undead. So any undead plaqued town is likely source of the skull.<br/><br/>Third item is a simple golden ring whit tear shaped ruby, the ring belonged to head priest of Bhaal and have mostly exchisted as symbol of position of power in the church for three generatiosn until it was lost. The ring is useless now that Bhaal died, but many intresting conflicts and murders have occured around it even after Bhaal died. Firstly the ring's creator, a decent jewel smith, was killed by assassin of Bhaal and taked ring as loot, then assassin's superior wanted it and murdered the respected assassin in greed and taked the ring. The ring was powerfull item and soon the priest rised in rank, until third head priests carrying the ring in the order was killed by his own apprentice but because apprentice was clumsy in the deed and disrespectfull to well respected figure (altough rising rank via assassiantion was doctrine fothe church but the deed msut ahve been performed well) the apprentice becomed hunted by the church and he was tortured to death after capture but the apprentice had already disposed the ring and he never told what happened to it.<br/><br/>The ring was found by orphan in Scardale and when orphan went to town his own drunkard father forcefully taked the ring even if boy intended use sold ring money for as medicine for his sick mother. The drunkard bought whores and ale and he lived two more years, a year longer than his disease killed wife, ironically his own son killed him as revenge and hatred and nowadays is a street thug in Scardale. The ring was bougth by Thayan wizard called Nuzrim Beldar and now he is back at Thay, exacty where I do not know but I think at capital or other big city and donning the ring personally, altough non-magicall the ring is stylish and excelent work and some swear they see small sparkle of red ligth inside the excelent cutted calimshite ruby in the ring.<br/><br/>I kowlocation fo thefour other items but I think these three items should keep you busy until you find them. I report to you trough the message stone the new meeting location near at you when you find the third item and tell location of two more items, and after that I tell the final two items location afteryou have found five items from the seven in total."""

Thankfully, she didn't have anything planned after her current endeavour.<br/><br/>In a darkened corner of the tavern, she sat in a man's lap, slowly moving up and down as his large member stretched her back passage wider than she'd like. It hurt, a good bit, but she was also masochistic and the pain was sublimely pleasurable. She stared straight up as her head was pulled back by the man's large hand in her long black tresses, yanking down hard to force more of his cock in her asshole.<br/><br/>The man's breathing had increased dramatically, and she prepared for him to spend inside her, preparing to get a thick cloth under her bottom so she didn't stain her fine red kimono. Suddenly, her head jerked forward as she heard the door open and a few new voices. She recognized the elf from the various descriptions of her compatriots-to-be, and suddenly rose up off the man, his tumescent rod leaving her abused rectum with an audible, slimey pop. He grabbed for her, ""C'mere, I ain't dun with ya yet, honey.""<br/><br/>She brushed his hand away with ease, turning back to stare at him with a flinty gaze, ""You have not paid me yet, and you do not own me. I go as I wish. Use your hand. My business is elsewhere now.""<br/><br/>He muttered, ""Bitch...."" as she left him behind her.<br/><br/>Reiko approached Felosi, her kimono and hair once again straightened out, the pendant visible as it rested on her bared cleavage.

She was well known in these circles for her talent, but little to nothing was known of her love of submission. Her submissive nature usually put her into the confidance of many a target, allowing her to extract information, unknownst to the mark, or even end their lives.<br/><br/>Rarely seen in daylight, the diminutive Rokugani woman was exceedingly pale, which only served to enhance her beauty. She had been magically altered on several occasions, mostly to hide old scars. She had been whipped near to death on several occasions, when her 'tops' would get a bit too much into their role.<br/><br/>It would matter little, however, if she had been slain, for all Geisha were<em>Eta</em>amongst her people. The people of Rokugan operated on a strict caste system. Reiko, in reality, was of the highest caste,<em>Samurai</em>, or Nobility. Even amongst the Samurai, there were<em>Kuge</em>and<em>Buke</em>.<em>Kuge</em>were truly nobility, holding lands and titles, where<em>Buke</em>were merely Samurai through birth and/or service. Most daughters were<em>Buke</em>, as Rokugani society was strictly patriarchal, excluding rare occasions, such as the Utaku Maidens of the<em>Ki-Rin</em>clan. And Reiko herself.<br/><br/>In her guise as<em>Geisha</em>, Reiko was not even of the<em>Heimin</em>, or half-people caste. Where the<em>Heimin</em>consisted of peasants, merchants, and craftsmen,<em>Geisha</em>were considered<em>Eta</em>, or non-people.<em>Eta</em>are those who performed the necessary duties that were considered ""unclean"", such as coming into contact with blood and flesh, anything criminal, entertainment, or handling the dead.<em>Eta</em>are not permitted to speak to<em>Samurai</em>unless bidden to speak by the<em>Samurai</em>.<br/><br/><em>Geisha</em>, while still<em>Eta</em>, were a special case, expected to speak to<em>Samurai</em>. While usually well skilled in conversation, dance, and often music; they were oft seen as nothing more than fancy prostitutes by most<em>Samurai</em>, and that is where Reiko shined.<em>Geisha</em>or not, her consorts could have taken her life, and nobody (outwardly) would have cared or batted an eye. As such, she was often on the receiving end of a whipping, her tormentor taking mental pleasure at her pain.<br/><hr/>Now, little Reiko found herself enjoying pain, and the thought of this beautiful elf binding her and using her was a very arousing thought, the scent of her arousal slowly insinuating it's way toward's Fel's nose. Vividly blue eyes staring deep into Fel's darker eyes, Reiko suddenly leaned up and licked over the elf's sensuous lips, ""Anything you wish, Mistress, is yours to take of me. Just.... don't injure me?"""

Don't mind the men in sunglasses and black suits, they're just here to make sure everything runs smoothly.)<br/><br/>Let me tell you a tale.<br/><br/>The city of Maj'Dul is the largest city on the Atamal continent, and likely for good reason. The entire continent is a wind-swept desert. Situated on the shore of a massive oasis, it is home to thousands of fortune seekers, braving the deadly sands and scorching heat in search of lost treasures in the countless ruins of an ancient civilization that once ruled the world from this formerly lush and green land.<br/><br/>It is no surprise, then, when strange things happen in this city.<br/><br/>However, this event is... stranger than most. Nearly three weeks ago, shortly after daybreak, the sun stopped moving. It hangs there, still, an angry eye, half-asleep, perpetually watching the city. At the same moment, all of the clocks, both those of magic and those of mechanics, stopped working. Everything says they should be working fine, but they're all stuck at the exact same moment; forty-three minutes after six in the morning.<br/><br/>In the first few days, it was discovered that no one was coming to the city. Normally, travelers arrive by the dozens, daily, but, since the sun stopped, not a single person has arrived. Even worse is that those who leave the city do not return. The population is growing more and more afraid with each passing hour, though the sun still hangs in the sky, mocking our fear of the passage of time.<br/><br/>While our food supply, magically augmented, and designed to last for years under a siege, will hold out for as long as we need, small riots have begun to break out across the city; looters taking what they can, and prophets proclaiming the end times. The gods have remained mysteriously silent, unwilling, or perhaps unable, to grant insight into this mystery, though they still grant their guidance in other matters.<br/><br/>And in the quiet hours, when the people calm themselves, you can hear it. Deep below the city, a slow, rhythmic thrum, like the breathing of some great beast, waiting to devour us.<br/><br/>Who will save us?<br/><br/>======================<br/><br/>Our story opens in a small tavern in the city, the Crying Angel's Inn. While nothing appears out of the ordinary, the sands of fate swirl around this building."

She has already made the decision to be one of the few who will remain smiling in these trying times, and she's not going to stop doing so just because some others might find it irritating.<br/><br/>Calmly, she checks to make sure nothing fell loose from her backpack and then strolls up to the counter, giving a quick glance around the room for the other regulars and people who have been sleeping (or merely trying to) at the tavern recently. Wondering what might be on the menu, her plans for the day are to eat breakfast, then try to break up some of the troublemakers outside.<br/><br/><em>But it's only drawing the problem out, not truly solving it...</em>"

Please give me a list of general actions your character will take in combat, such that, if you are ever unavailable for a few days, if your actions as chosen in your post are illegal/irrelevant, or other such things, I can have a list of alternative actions that your character is likely to take.

This allows for me to do things that you'd want your character to do, if you're not present or unavailable to comment, thus keeping the game from slowing down.<br/><br/>You don't have to post them here, PM is fine, if you don't need the others to see your tactics.

If no darts left, throw a normal dagger. Throw a magic or special metal dagger IF AND ONLY IF (herafter abbreviated IFF) there is a 90% or higher probability of killing him with that throw.<br/>In combat, Flank when possible. All abilities are based off my ability to flank. With +12 tumble, don't worry too much if it would take an AoO, but remember to move at half speed to pull that off.<br/>At 50% health, use wand of Cure Light Wounds.<br/>At 25% health, use potion of Cure Light Wounds if not threatened, Withdraw towards Cleric if am threatened.<br/>Reclaim all darts.<br/>Claim new darts and new daggers.<br/>Inspect all locks for traps.<br/>Use thieves' tools on untrapped locks. Take 10, then take 20.<br/>Use longspoons on traps that can be avoided by using them.<br/>Bribe, cajole, or plead for whatever buffs are needed to survive death at the hand of a trap that cannot be safely longspooned, then use normal tools. Alternatively, invoke Clever Improviser and throw a rock at it. If it works, say ""Eeeeeyy!"" and give a tumbs-up.<br/>When possible, bypass traps, don't wreck them outright.<br/>In combat against a hoard of weaklings, cast Sleep.<br/><br/>If a stolen spell with healing or buffing value is reaching the end of its lifespan, use it on whoever needs it most. For Dexterity or Charisma buffs, I need it most.<br/>If a stolen spell with practical joke value is reaching the end of its lifespan, use it.<br/>Otherwise, convert it into a Mage Hand and have fun with that, instead.<br/><br/>Sneak Attack and Spellstealing:<br/>Never try to steal metamagic spells.<br/>Against a spellcaster, steal the highest level spell he can cast that is under my limit, focusing on attack or healing spells depending on the caster.<br/>Against a creature that uses buffs of any kind, steal them. Start with the ones that improve AC, Spell Resistance, and Damage Reduction.<br/>If facing a Dragon or other creature that uses an elemental weapon to which it has resistance or immunity, steal resistance.<br/>If the wizard or whoever discovers an enemy is resistant to a certain kind of energy that his spells are based off of, steal resistance. If immune, don't bother.<br/>If facing an opponent with neither spells nor resistance, use Sneak Attack to cause pain.<br/><br/>Spellcasting:<br/>Never cast in range of an AoO.<br/>Remember that 2/day a spell can be sacrificed to add +1d6 on a sneak attack. If the spell is useless in the current situation, make it something useful. This is especially true against mages who need to be taken down fast.<br/>Stolen attack spells should be used as quickly as possible against whomever they would be effective. Throwing the wizard's Fireball on his own zombies comes to mind. Really, with all the spells possible, a comprehensive list is simply infeasible. Prioritize targets based on number of enemies in the spell's area, type of save versus probable good/bad saves of potential targets, and most importantly if said target is about to kill someone, kill him first.<br/>Stolen buff spells are probably best used on me so I can steal more spells, but if I can buff an ally within two rounds who really needs it, go for it.<br/>Healing spells likewise, but make it three rounds."

3560,[In One Day] OOC discussion,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=10084.0,"17-06-2007, 00:45:52",Jeramiahh,"Alright, rather than resort to PMs, and go behind everyone's back, I'm going to start with talking out in the open.<br/><br/>The first thing I want to say is a little on my philosophy. The one thing I like about this site is that we're all adults. It's a requirement. We've all passed the age of maturity (or we lied on our applications), so we should, in theory, be able to act as reasonable, rational adults. Therefore, as with 95% of character sheets I deal with, I assume that the person designing it is a reasonable, rational person, and that their sheet is conforming to the rules. I don't have the time, nor the willingness, to go through every single detail of every single sheet I see. To do so would take hours I don't have.<br/><br/>I also believe that rules are, perhaps, the least important thing in a game. I value the fun of the game, first, then the story, and only use the rules a as backbone to base things upon, and to fall back on when there is conflict. Thus, when a character doesn't conform to the rules 100%, I don't get up in arms about it. I've seen enough characters who do stick to the rules who can break things badly enough, that if I deem it a minor thing, I'll usually just ignore it, or provide compensation in the forms of extra treasure to the other players, to balance things out.<br/><br/>Next, I want to talk to both of you. Flat out, I want to say you are both in the wrong at the moment, and I'm not happy with either of you. I would have preferred, instead of you calling Far eyes out, Ryvaken, you'd spoken with me about your concerns privately, so we could handle this quietly. I'm sure that, had you pointed out these flaws to me quietly, I could have spoken with him and asked him to change those minor things. Far eyes, I believe you are in the wrong, as well; he does make some good points, you did use things that violate the rules, albeit unintentionally in some cases.<br/><br/>The way I see this, there are a few solutions. We've gotten off to a bad start, but that's all it is; a start. There's been one battle, and a minor one, at that. There's still plenty of time to change things. The first, and most reasonable solution, would be to work with Far eyes and get his character sorted out. I do have to admit that I am a little uncomfortable with some of the... choices you made with the character, and the end results of such. It's not a total loss, but I do believe she needs some scaling back, especially fixing the errors you've had pointed out.<br/><br/>The other choice would be for one, or both, of you to leave. I am a very peaceful person; I can't stand conflict. Just having my little sister whining to my parents about not being able to buy something is enough to throw me off-kilter; this is bad. I don't want to use this option, honestly, because, like I said, I'm a nice person, and I like to avoid driving people off. That's just rude. But if this sort of conflict continues, I will have to ask one of you to leave.<br/><br/>The final option, and the one that, at this point, doesn't look like it would work, is to leave it as-is. D&D is a wonderful game, because the DM has complete control over quite a lot of things. Enemies, rewards, and so on... I control these, exclusively. Thus, the game has quite a few ways for me to, eventually, correct any unbalancing mistakes, such as this.<br/><br/>So, I'll leave it open to you guys. Do we want to work this out, solve the problems with the character, and move on? Or is someone willing to bow out, to end any further problems?<br/><br/>I'm going to put a hold on the IC thread, until this matter is settled, so I'm not going to reply there for a while."

Think of me what you will, but my real-life profession is in mathematics. I address a situation from a context of logical progressions, operations, and formulas. In this situation the character issues I have identified are, by my estimation, not minor but in fact exceedingly dangerous by creating an extrema in the mathematical representation of the game. In other words, it is overpowered with a strong potential for abuse. I cannot ignore that; everything I have ever witnessed in RPs over the past decade tells me that such a situation is inherently dangerous.<br/><br/>Second, my opinion of the rules varies depending on the rule. Some things I don't bat an eye when something changes. Other things I question, but am satisfied by explaining with a house rule. The last category of things are those I identify as gamebreaking in some fashion; the changes to spells per day and the improved familiar fall in that last category. Everything else I mentioned fall in the middle category. Also, as pointed out, this was a start. The characters are not established and it is not incredibly difficult to change.<br/><br/>Third, as to being in the wrong, from my perspective I did not ""call anyone out"". I identified an error, I made it known to the player. The responses I expected ranged from ""Oops, my mistake"" to ""No, see I did this"" to ""Darn, I was hoping no one would see that."" What I got was a bag of insults the likes of which had me checking to see how long he'd been on the forum and judging my chances of getting him reprimanded for breaking the civility rules or kicked out of the game for attacking another player without cause. Granted that idea didn't last too long, but I mention it to illustrate how incredibly offended I was by this response.<br/>Also, in the PM we had, you used the word ""abuse"" in reference to his feats and implied that you were in agreement. You did not say or imply anything to tell me to back off, and I had already posted openly when I made that first PM. My interpretation was that you were willing to allow us to make our cases openly and I continued to post under that premise. The insults got worse.<br/><br/>To the possibility of leaving, I considered it. Not too fond of the idea; I think there are some good people here and one exception should not be allowed to ruin that. And first impressions are never all that accurate; I've had rough starts with people I consider close friends these days. To that end I ask that the issues be delt with and offer a full explination for my remaining concern.<br/><br/>The following paragraph deals with a lot of math and rules; the quintissential tool of the rules lawyer. I ask those reading to accept that the way my brain is wired that this kind of analysis is normal for me in day-to-day life and represents no particular effort on my part. I am a math geek; I make no apology for it.<br/>To the spells per day issue, as Far Eyes continues to assert that it is correct, I point out that the substitution feature he chose does not say it can be taken multiple times, and the pattern of substitutions are that by and large it is not possible to take more than one. Too, as my discrete math professor said, to test a pattern look at the limit. If he took it four times. He would have six prohibited schools and nine spells per day per level that could only be of his specialty school. The inability to cast six other schools no longer matters because there are no spell slots there anyway. He does not gain spell slots as he gains levels, except when he gains a new spell level, in which case all nine come at once. Now assume that this specialty school is Evocation, and you have a 5th level character capable of casting Fireball nine times a day. Warmages and Sorcerers and their ilk are designed with that level of specialization and cannot come close to that level of power, and the Sorc has fewer spells known even then. Granted he has chosen a less combat-oriented field, but does that make it any less powerful? Even just taking it twice, how much does that extra level of specialization hurt when he is already that specialized? It's essentially free spell slots. I don't see this as a minor issue.<br/><br/>My only other complaint was with the two feats, Collegiate Wizard and Precocious Apprentace. This issue is not based at all in the rules, in fact quite the opposite. One stems from a background heavy in college and book study, the other from personal tutoring from a single master in the field. The two backgrounds are mutually exclusive; taking both is impossible for a roleplaying standpoint, as best as I can tell. This is an extremely minor issue and is more curiosity as to how said background can be made; I mention it at this point only out of sake for completeness."

Yes I did!"" and that's not good for anyone.<br/><br/>Ryvaken, get the hell down off your high horse. I've read through the discussion in this thread, and in this thread only, YOU threw the first insults. Far eyes asked you to back off, and, were I there in time to catch it, I would've told you to, as well. Instead, you replied by rubbing your hands together gleefully as you begin ""to take (him) to the cleaners."" Read the thread again, it's fairly obvious to me.<br/><br/>I am this close to asking both of you to leave, if only for the sake of my sanity. Both of you have done wrong, by devolving into insults. Ryvaken, you misinterpreted my message to you regarding this; that was NOT an invitation to drag this out in the streets, it was a request to let me handle it a little more discreetly. Instead, you had to make as much fuss and fanfare as possible, ruining any chance of this ending peacefully. SHAME ON YOU.<br/><br/>Far eyes, don't think you're innocent, either. Now, I'm not blaming you or anything, but you do have to admit that your character stretches the lines of believability, wouldn't you say? Not to mention, your IC actions have been quite rude. I know rudeness is a perfectly acceptable character attribute, but, at the same time, this is a group based game; it's generally a good idea to NOT piss off everyone you meet, or the DM may very well just write you out of the story. ""Oh, you don't want to play nice with everyone else?

He started a war in one country to seek out the mastermind behind the attack.  The country rallied behind him.  As soon we had the evil incarnate trapped in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan.<br/><br/>But as if god actually spoke to him.  An his own arrogance that of those closes to him.  Soon led the country to invade another country that being Irag.  Of course are military might steamed roll over the opposing army.  Yet we continued to fight against insurrections.  Pumping billions of dollars into it and creating the largest deficit in the nations history.<br/><br/>Social Security,  health care, all of this pushed aside.  Even the much needed bill on illegal immigrants.  Funny on the illegals with most republicans.  They who voiced the loudest to send them back.  Are the first to be responsible for keeping and luring them here.  With under the table slave like wage pay.<br/><br/>Of which starting back in the early 80' and finally capped off in the first 10 years of the new century.  The unions were busted, broken.  No longer a strong voice for the workers.<br/><br/>It is in 08 that we have once again foolishly elected another, that being Rudy.  As under George the disparity between those that have and those that don't continues to grow.  Forty percent of the people no health insurance.  The middle class dwindling, as most are driven into the poor social status.  For the war has continued in Afghanistan and widened into Pakistan when the puppet military government collapsed.  We invaded Iran, with little pretense as to why.  Which drew in other countries.  We are currently in the third world war.  It is not like the first two.  It is one that will rival one such as the hundred years war.  One that just keeps going and going with no end in sight.<br/><br/>No one listened to the warnings.  Not in our life time, no global warming and its effects are far in the future and of course something would be done.  Rudy starting his second term, the first year of it in 2012.  Devastation of nature would hit more then once.  The big quake would hit in souther California.  The destruction wrought the largest in history.  Los Angeles was wiped away along with most of southern California.  But this alone was not the end of such to hit the United States.  Miami, Boston, Philadelphia and New York.  All endured flooding that put the New Orleans Katrina to shame.  For the ocean had risen with the rapid ice shelf melting that had accelerated.  Further tasking the besieged nation at war around the world and now reeling from natures onslaught.<br/><br/>So on December 21st of the year 2012.  Congress passed the indentured servants act.  Thus creating the social order of slavery.  No one noticed it was the date of the Mayan kartun prophecies.  The end of the known world.  The age of equality was done.  Those that had were rewarded, those that did not became indentured servants.  So basically slaves.<br/><br/>Under martial law of this amendment, the electoral college was abolished and all elections were postponed indefinitely until such time the nation was declared safe from threat.  Thus elevating Rudy from president to a theo-monarchy.  Backed by an unholy alliance of evangelists.<br/>Those with disabilities are dispatched with to camps.  They had no place in the new social world order of America.<br/><br/>Which leads back to the present day.  All across the nation, indoctrination centers open.  Where those that had been deemed into indentured servant status are to report and be taken in and assigned or purchased by a citizen of the new United States.<br/>"

He typically carries both his rifle and his pistol, the former slung across his back, the later at his hip. His skin tone is somewhat dark, a product of his mixed Hispanic heritage along with his dark eyes and hair.<br/><br/>History: Born on Beaumonde, Jeff started life in a farming community, but his family moved almost immediately to the city to find a ""better life"". That better life meant factory work, a life Jeff quickly discovered he had no interest in. He took to hanging around the docks, talking to crewmen and getting an idea about life in the black. The more he heard, the more he wanted to be there too, and one day he just didn't come home, waiting until he was far away to send word back. He started as a cook's assistant before working into a position as mechanic's helper, then training as a pilot before finally being promoted to first mate. His crew worked as a neutral trade vessel during the Unification War, though they were more sympathetic to the Independents than they were the Alliance. It wasn't long after the war that Jeff became the captain. And it wasn't long after that when he and his crew set down at an outpost on the Rim for a little R&R. Something didn't seem right about what was going on, but the crew needed downtime. And so they went to the bar and drank, with Jeff ignoring the growing feeling that things were going to go horribly wrong. And then the worst possible thing happened. The Reavers came. Most everything is blurry after that. He knows that they managed to hide, and that the Reaver group who found them must have been the last ones out before they left the outpost town. He remembers his mechanic being cut into pieces. He remembers throwing a grenade into a mass that contained at least two of his own crewmen before he fled. It was days before he really came back to himself, on another planet, his ship sold and himself filthy and nearly broke, a line of stitches in his cheek that he didn't remember getting (a shrapnel wound when the grenade went off). It was at that moment that he changed. He knows it was his fault things turned out the way they did. He quit drinking, and started to work his way back into life, selling his services. He was not the man he was. The laughing, friendly captain of old had been replaced by a much more distant, hard edged man. He tries to keep himself distant from his crew, but inside he knows he will never allow what happened before to happen again.<br/><br/>Updated 2/24: Forgot some equipment!"

He decided she needed a suitable vocation and worthy of a Niska so pulled numerous strings to get her into the new Companion Training Temple and she excelled save for refusing the combat training classes but a Companion often relies on other resources and talents to do well. And her knack for those far outpaced her limitations not that she did not pick up some minor knack for unsavory skills from her background.

4504,Civilization Sim -- Guidebook,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=18372.0,"15-07-2008, 11:56:14",OldSchoolGamer,"NOTE: For those of you reading this, this is my guidebook to the Civilization-style sim I am starting up.  If playing in the sim interests you, let me know and set this thread to Notify.  That way, you can watch it develop.  When I am ready for players (I already have a couple), I will reply to bump it back to the top.  I'll be adding to this day by day until it is complete.  Suggestions, compliments and criticisms are welcome!<br/><br/>In the meantime...a little FAQ:<br/><br/><strong>Q. Is this a story?</strong><br/>A. It's going to be more a text-based simulation than a story.  However, the course of the sim may serve as the launching pad for stories as time goes on.<br/><br/><strong>Q. Is this a straight adaptation of Civilization IV?</strong><br/>A. No.  It borrows from Civ IV, but there'll be plenty of independent and different content.  Think about what the Civ game would be like if the effort that had gone into graphics had instead gone into a deeper plotline, more options and variables, more detail, etc.  And imagine if concepts like rape and pillage could be incorporated into the game without concern for ratings issues.  That's what this is about.<br/><br/><strong>Q. So, why is it in the NC section?</strong><br/>A. While most of the game will be vanilla, barbarian raids and conquest will be played out to the fullest, with all the ramifications freely explored.  Some of those do go into at least the concept--if not the details--of non-con sex.  Having said that, non-con isn't going to be a focus; this is not a sex-centered sim.  The issue will be treated the same as other dynamics like economics, natural disasters, religion, and so on.<br/><br/><strong>Q. Will religion work the way it does in Civ 4?</strong><br/>A. Not exactly.  Your town comes with five deities known to your people.  You don't have to discover a certain tech to get religion.  However, you can spread religions to your neighbors...and foreign missionaries can likewise spread religion to your settlement.  The dynamics of religion will figure more prominently into this sim than in Civ 4 (where political correctness considerations basically made religions about as interesting and detailed as poker chips).  For starters, not all religions will get along.  There are actual deities, too, and your settlement and civilization develop a reputation with each deity.  A good reputation can lead to bonuses and favors.  A bad reputation...well, you get the idea.<br/><br/><strong>Q. Will this sim have a military component?</strong><br/>A. Absolutely!  You can train and equip troops, and you'll have more options in the beginning than ""Warrior.""  Military units are, to a large extent, customizable.  Magic will also play a role.  As with Civ, units can gain experience and become more powerful, and be upgraded when technology improves.<br/><br/><strong>Q. Will there be a technology tree?</strong><br/>A. Yes, although progression of technology will play a lesser role than it does in Civ.  I picture the technology tree beginning in the early Bronze Age and running into the Renaissance.  However, the dearth of tech will be compensated for by access to magic, as well as a deeper role-playing experience.<br/><br/><strong>Q. What civilizations are available to play?</strong><br/>A. Since there's only one of me, my ability to R&D and re-create every civilization on Earth is rather limited.  So, I'm going to go with three: the Hellenians, the Easterners, and the Nilots.  Those who are into history will probably recognize that those are Greco-Roman, Chinese/Mongolian, and Nilotic/Egyptian, respectively.<em>Now, please don't get disappointed or bent out of shape if I don't hew strictly to historical reality in depicting these civilizations</em>.  There will be substantial liberties taken in the interest of gameplay and creative license, so if you're looking for Total Realism, this ain't it.<br/><br/><strong>Q. Will players get to see their civilization?</strong><br/>A. Graphic arts are not my forté, I'm sorry to say.  I will probably use screenshots from Civ 4 in sandbox mode as visual aids, but don't expect many graphic depictions of the game's events.  I just don't have the talent with pictures that I do with words...or the time.  I may grab some pictures off the Web for use with some items, but original artwork from me probably isn't something you'd want to see anyway.<br/><br/>The Civilizations<br/><br/>The Hellenians:<br/>(http://z.about.com/d/ancienthistory/1/5/p/I/PersRoma2.jpg)<br/>The Hellenians are known for their legends and lore, and their excellence as infantrymen.  They are skilled metallurgists.  They begin with the deities Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Zeus, and Demeter.  Their special civilization ability is the power of Amazons: they can add up to 20% of their female population to the military without a loss of Fertility.<br/><br/>The Easterners:<br/>(http://www2.kenyon.edu/Depts/Religion/Fac/Adler/Reln101/Images101/guanyin.jpg)<br/>The Easterners are renowned for their organization and sense of social harmony and cohesion.  They are skilled cavalrymen, and known for advanced military tactics.  They begin with the deities of Air, Earth, Fire, Water and Light.  Their special civilization ability is the power of Harmony: Easterner settlements enjoy a 20% bonus to Civic Virtue.<br/><br/>The Nilots:<br/>(http://www.modernartimages.com/images/sculptureeditions/love-art-tongueoflove2.jpg)<br/>The Nilots are renowned for their monuments and artifice.  They excel in missile weapons, and Nilot spearmen are the rival of other cvilizations' archers.  They begin with the deities of Ra, Nut, Osiris...  Their special civilization ability is the power of Construction: they are able to construct buildings using 10% fewer resources and labor than normal.<br/><br/>Settlement Statistics:<br/><br/>Settlements have far more detail than they do in Civ, with the following stats:<br/><br/><strong>Population:</strong>The number of people in your settlement.<br/><strong>Level:</strong>A function of population, with Civic Virtue multiplying population.<br/><strong>Happiness:</strong>This statistic has a base value of 100, and reflects how pleased (or displeased) your people are with your rule.  A rating of 100 means that your people are neither pleased nor upset.  Happiness is effected by taxation, intensity of labor, as well as certain buildings and events.  High Happiness increases productivity.  Low Happiness decreases it, and Happiness below 70 places your settlement in jeopardy of revolt.  High Happiness also makes turning your people against you more difficult for foreign civilizations, and low Happiness can make your people more willing to be bought off by enemies.<br/><strong>Civic Virtue:</strong>This statistic starts at 10.  Civic Virtue is your population's sense of identity as citizens of your kingdom rather than mere individuals.  Certain buildings boost Civic Virtue, as well as some events.  Having a high Civic Virtue stat serves as a multiplier to population, increasing the Level of your settlement and allowing it to construct buildings and improvements that normally would require a higher population level.<br/><strong>Fertility:</strong>This statistic is the birth rate.  This is affected by Health, and certain buildings, improvements and events.  Fertility tends to slowly decline as a settlement gets up past 10,000 people or so.  A value of 2 is neutral, indicating that 2 babies are born to every couple, replacing the population.<br/><strong>Health</strong>: This statistic depicts the overall level of health of a population.  The higher the Health, the higher the Fertility, and the lower the death rate.  This is affected by terrain, access to water, some buildings, the food supply, and events.<br/><strong>Taxes</strong>: The percentage of tax that is taken from your citizens.  This is the pool of resources you have to construct public works (buildings and improvements).  The default percentage is 20%.  Raising the Tax rate exerts a drag on Prosperity, which in turn lowers Happiness, while lowering Taxes improves Prosperity and thereby raises Happiness.  The functional outcome of this is that high taxes raise expectations of your population--if you're going to have a 35% tax rate, you'd better also be constructing buildings and improvements that boost the economy and improve Happiness.<br/><strong>Prosperity</strong>: Do your people have enough resources?  Or do they suffer shortages?  Is there a surplus for people to trade within the settlement and without?  This is Prosperity, which is a measure of how many resources your settlement harvests, mines, produces, constructs, forges or otherwise comes up with each month AND which your population gets to keep.  This is why raising Taxes lowers Prosperity, and lowering Taxes raises Prosperity...at least in the short run.  In the long run, you may need to sacrifice a little Prosperity to get the tax resources to build improvements which raise output over the long run.  Or maybe not.  You're in charge..."

With no parents he was raised by thugs, thieves and murderers of the dark alleys of the metropolis. He learned early in life he had no hesitation to kill what he wants but he did not kill out of desire but from need. Although if he was angered he does not hesitate to kill the offender. Soon legend of 'blood cutter' started run in the streets. Known for devastating use of katar in close combat he soon became renowned shadow assassin in the streets. However soon his reputation growed so high that wild rumors start ed spread out, silly rumors which did hold any meaning of truth but in fearful hearths of among his friends they grown root and soon rumors became a 'fact'. It is unknown what rumous or story was involved but it ended up in that Cutter butchered his own guild members in self defense and killed them so he is left alone. When dark alleys run into chaos from power vacuum when powerful thieves guild was brought down Cutter left the city and started aimlessly wander as mysterious mercenary."

As a young boy, he was found barely alive and wandering the woods, soaked in days-dried blood and dirt. He was taken in by a remote monastic order of Moradin, where paladins and clerics were trained for service to their deity apart from the civilization they would grow to serve and protect with their lives.<br/><br/>Raised with fanciful dreams of the grand designs of order and justice within the lawful bounds of city walls, in his tenth year he was sent to join an order within the walls of a great city-- and found, very quickly, that his faith-- in humanity, urbane culture, the magic of civilization-- was misplaced. He became an errand boy in the schemes of a corrupted priest, and was made to assist in dark rites, the execution of heinous abuses of power, and the concealment of theft, extortion, and murder. Before he could become a true acolyte to the dark priesthood, he fled-- spurning the civilization he'd been raised to believe in, and returned to the woods where he'd been found, nearly dead, almost ten years prior.<br/><br/>He found it in ruins... the church's corrupt prior had raised enough support through lies and manipulation to send an expedition to enact its destruction. And there, among the charred ruins of the monastery that had saved him, he abandoned hope of aid, and he wandered, for a week, in the woods alone. He was found by an outriding group of elven scouts, who bestowed upon him a mercy of sorts-- in their calm, wizened way, he saw how their neutrality, their patience, and their devotion to their own gave them a purity, a discipline of righteousness, that transcended 'law' and 'madness,' 'good' and 'evil'. For in the great circle, the two ends meet at some point, and one bleeds into the next.<br/><br/>He spent the next six years of his life living among them, studying with them-- and was chosen. The decision was natural enough, would it have been his to make, but it was not: Sehanine's path chose him, and stirred in him passions, insight, and determination he never had. Whether simply for his powers as an agent of destruction or for some higher destiny, he is not sure-- but since that moment, he's walked a lonely road since then, seeking balance, secrecy, and revelry-- meting justice with a blade where evil takes hold and chiseling the foundations from overzealous empires' ambition."

There were Sleepers still moving about their day-to-day business as if nothing had happened.  Buildings were intact, electricity still flowed, shops were still open, and reality appeared unaltered...<br/><br/>...until the first mage attempted to use magic.  A rift in the Umbra opened the moment magic began to coil around him, and the Avatar Storm came screaming out to tear him to shreds.  He was the first to die this way, but he wasn't the last.  With the proof at what the Ascension War was doing to reality blatantly obvious before their eyes, both sides withdrew to lick their wounds and try to comprehend what had gone wrong.  That was five years ago.  The War's been cold since then, with no new reports of outbreaks of violence from anywhere in the world.<br/><br/>And so here we stand, on the eve of a new year, with Christmas just passed and 2034 about to begin.   It's been five years.  Our memories of the toll the war has taken are still fresh, our anger bitter and cold.    The infighting has already begun anew, and the grumblings from die-hard Ascension Warriors are becoming louder with each passing season.  It's only a matter of time before the violence begins again. What the future holds, none may say, for even the best and most insightful Oracles cannot See far in the chaotic swirl the timestream has become.<br/><br/>When judgement comes and the long night descends, where will you be standing?"

While both countries were, officially, unified through the medium of the United Kingdoms, there had, for a long time before Dylan’s birth, been tension stretched tight in amongst the states that comprised the United Kingdoms.<br/><br/>While the Romeo and Juliet nature of his parents’ romance and lifestyle permeated his childhood, Dylan learnt from it only discontent with what he had been offered. The typically bourgeois, suburban childhood he underwent did little but reinforce this concept of being unsatisfied with the life the fates had chosen for him. However, this manner of upbringing did serve to educate a largely hard working young Dylan well beyond a High School level and keep him sequestered off from unpleasantness of most kinds – his parents had always been loving both to one another and to him and, as an only child, Dylan was showered with affectionate attention.<br/><br/>It was the generally uneventful nature of the lad’s childhood that urged him towards an escapist mindset. This manifested physically through denying the wishes of his well-meaning parents and studying English Literature rather than Law at Belfast’s Queens University. This choice of course and higher education pushed Dylan further away from his father and, to some extent, from his still sympathetic mother and pulled him closer to the lower elements of Belfast society.<br/><br/>In true middle class style, he proceeded to taint his own background with the influence of the lower echelons, freely bringing himself towards acceptance as one of their own. Struggling poets, writers, publishers…All flew under the mothering wings of Queens University and Dylan was but one among their number – a largely aimless writer with a shy but loud attitude and a quickly developing heroine problem.<br/><br/>It was the latter issue that, in Dylan’s second year of university, condemned him to the fate he had succeeded in attaining for himself. When political unrest between Northern and Southern Ireland mounted and, finally, built into a crescendo of a fever pitch, Dylan suffered an overdose which kicked him into a month long coma of wild dreams and tangible thoughts. The dreams became steadily more lucid, more controllable over time. They featured feverish imaginings of the current whereabouts and states of his friends and enemies – those he had met – at first, only to gradually slip into the lives of others; strangers also. He could dream about whoever and whatever he liked, crafting entertainment and dreamy sustenance from the fabric of his own psyche on a whim. Reality was painted in shades of pale and grey by comparison.<br/><br/>After the month ended, Dylan awoke, all the more emaciated than his habit had left him – all the more discontent with the general nature of the world in which he lived. Dylan could never accept what the world and its denizens had given him and now he had found both a crutch to replace his heroine habit and an alternative to reality.<br/><br/>During the conflict between Northern and Southern forces in Belfast, Dylan spent his time slipping voluntarily in and out of consciousness, barely eating, barely drinking, all for the sake of living in a more vivid and more beautiful world of lucid dreams.<br/><br/>This, little did he know, was his own Awakening from a sleep he had been engaged in all his life.<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Appearance</strong></div><br/>His silhouette is, generally, a rather striking but dangerously fragile one. His frame has gone beyond slender and slipped into the vicinity of ‘skeletal’ becoming a better descriptor, whether due to a natural frailty or simple forgetting or choosing not to eat. The fit of his clothes often only serve to accentuate this worrying slenderness; tightly fitted jeans or trousers, ankle high Chelsea boots (http://www.pennangalan.co.uk/boots/catimg/FW245.jpg) and a mishmash of eclectic fashion statements, often in black only serving to emphasise his significant height and his insignificant build.<br/><br/>His soft seeming, light red hair forms an angry looking halo about his otherwise pale, heart-shaped face; tendrils of that subtle crimson flailing about his pointed features. A twist-locked, badly cut fringe falls to just below his brows, obscuring his forehead entirely under usual circumstances. The general feel of his haircut is that of a randomly chopped shock of the stuff, curling into his face from above and from the sides. The entire affair just about falls to below his ear-lobes, lying slightly lower at the back of his head.<br/><br/>His face itself and its bone structure are very much in keeping with his otherwise unusual appearance. There is enough of a hint of girlishness in his appearance to make him unusual looking, almost ethereal, but not quite enough to make him truly pretty. Nevertheless, he is blessed with high cheek-bones, large, chocolate brown eyes and a pointed chin and nose. Some might call him elfin, or pixie-like were he not quite so tall. His eyes either move lethargically and gradually in the manner of one who has just been woken up or quickly and almost desperately, darting about in a wild dance of activity.<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Paradigm</strong></div><br/>Dylan manipulates reality through slipping into the dreams of the aspect he wishes to alter. That is the basic premise behind his particular taste of Magick. For now he finds it impossible to do anything but perceive any aspects of reality aside from the Minds of living creatures.<br/><br/>He can use dreams to perform all manner of sensory Magick and yet can only actually manipulate the workings of minds and psyches. He does this through entering their dreams at first as a spectator and, afterward, actually altering their dreams, slipping them suggestions or downright mental impulses according to his own whims.<br/><br/>He sees this art of Oneiromancy as something of a recreational activity, almost a drug, and he is, as a result, addicted to the vivid and beautiful or terrifying realities away from reality he can find within his own dreams and those of others.<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Character Sheet</strong></div><br/><em>Name</em>: Dylan Collette,<em>Player</em>: Barding,<em>Chronicle</em>: Paradox Lost,<em>Nature</em>: Addict,<em>Demeanour</em>: Loner,<em>Essence</em>: Dynamic,<em>Tradition</em>: Orphan.<br/><br/><em>Strength</em>: 1,<em>Dexterity</em>: 3,<em>Stamina</em>: 2,<em>Charisma</em>: 2,<em>Manipulation</em>: 3,<em>Appearance</em>: 3,<em>Perception</em>: 3,<em>Intelligence</em>: 4,<em>Wits</em>: 3.<br/><br/><em>Alertness</em>: 3,<em>Awareness</em>: 2,<em>Dodge</em>: 1,<em>Empathy</em>: 1,<em>Expression</em>: 3,<em>Intuition</em>: 1,<em>Streetwise</em>: 2,<em>Subterfuge</em>: 1.<br/><br/><em>Etiquette</em>: 2,<em>Firearms</em>: 1,<em>Meditation</em>: 2,<em>Research</em>: 1,<em>Survival</em>: 1.<br/><br/><em>Computer</em>: 1,<em>Psychology</em>: 1,<em>Science</em>: 1,<em>Literature</em>: 3.<br/><br/><em>Correspondence</em>: 2,<em>Life</em>: 1,<em>Mind</em>: 3.<br/><br/><em>Avatar</em>: 3,<em>Dream</em>: 3.<br/><br/><em>Arete</em>: 3<br/><br/><em>Willpower</em>: 7"

was your average high school student on a mission.  She’d been studying languages from a very early age, and had apparently a knack for them.  She managed excellent grades on all of her work in school, and had earned herself a couple of amazing opportunities.  First, there were already murmurs of a scholarship to attend the University of Toronto linguistics department, and second.. the exchange student program.  Only a few young women each year were selected from across Canada, and Kia was one fo them.<br/>Naturally, her parents were reluctant, but after a whole lot of cajoling, begging, threatening, and not to mention pleading, they eventually agreed to let her go.  Things were arranged, and Kia was to be sent off to a very exclusive boarding school in France, just outside of Paris itself!  Before she could go, however, her family was to play host to a young girl from France.  A typical exchange approach.  One girl came over a month early to integrate a little, then they switched spots.  At the end of the school year, the french girl would come back and spend a month with Kia at her home, before the Canadian girl came back to her place.  Simple in description, but always so much harder in reality.  Camille was a pleasant, wonderful girl.  She had been selected as much for her grasp of english as Kia had for her grasp of french.  Also, similar ages, and demeanors played a large factor.  The two girls got on famously, and would spend hours in Kia’s room sharing tales and secrets and new best friend stuff.  It was during these exchanges that Camille first started telling Kia about the rich history of the supernatural to be found in Europe, and France in particular.<br/>Kia was, of course, fascinated, and grilled the other teen for hours and hours on the subject.  They looked at websites, and many other sources of information, only firing Kia’s curiosity more.  She’d always been a bit interested in the subject, and so with a new fan to the flames, her interest grew into an obsession.  One happily shared by her new friend, Camille.  The two became even closer over the topic, and soon were sharing more than just little hand holdings and typical friend reactions.  Ahh the joys of teenage discovery.  Too soon, Kia was finding herself prepped for her trip to France.  With thoughts of the time she and Camille spent together, and the fresh lust for the obscure occult, Kia was bundled onto a plane and shipped to France.<br/>Her first weeks there were glorious as she met new friends, and shared more than a few similar experiences with those new friends as she and Camille had stolen together in the depths of the night.  All girls dorms were wonderful for that sort of thing, ad her “accent’ was adored by all.  She was the belle of the Academie, and she spent a lot of time “fitting in” before she finally had the opportunities to check out the other one of her passions.  The supernatural.  Kia explored her small town, and at every opportunity, she headed with her classmates into Paris to explore the sights and obvious sources to be found there.  More than once she wished to head to other locations, maybe even Germany to find more.  Maybe when she was done school and spending time with darling Camille.<br/>It was the night of her 16th birthday.  She had finally turned into an adult according to the locals, and she liked the idea.  Surely European sensibilities like this one should be brought back to Canada too!  She had consumed an awful lot of wine at dinner with her friends, and then afterwards had spent a long few hours in various beds with even more of her friends.. and then finally, when all was quiet, the still slightly drunk Kia made her way outside.  It was a full moon, the night was ripe with possibility, and Kia went to the one place she could get to easily to try and work out some more of her occult hobby.  The school graveyard.  It had seemed strange to her at first, having a graveyard beside a girl’s school.  At least until it had been explained that the school was at one poitn a monastery, and that the graveyard had been the local township’s only.  Now, the dead were carted off to Paris for burial elsewhere, but there was a lot of history in this little square of well manicured land.<br/>The moon broke through the clouds, and Kia rested on an old tomb, her back feeling the chill of the stone while her head swam with the wine and sex.  She was abuzz with energy and as openly receptive to her dreams as she had ever been.  The surge of power that rippled through the land was unmistakable.  She had no understanding at all as to what it was at first, but then things started changing.  No one else for the months to come would claim to know anything at all about the surge of power.  No one saw or heard a dmaned thing except for Kia.  But she felt it alright.  Right there in that graveyard, with her mind half addled and her body as relaxed as it ever had been in her life.  When the first ghost peered into her face, she did the only thing she could think of.  Shriek at the top of her lungs and pass out.<br/>When she came to, there were dozens of them, all staring at her.  She sat up, and almost as one, the crowd of ghosts rushed forwards, all clamouring to talk to her.  All trying to get her attention.  The cacophony was incomprehensible.  Each and every one of them wanted her.  Wanted her to listen, for the most part.  Most of them wanted her to do things for them too.  Kia sat, slowly curling her legs closer, her arms tighter as she tightened up, staring in horror and fascination at what was happening.  How could these people have all been here the whole time?  The tumult increased and bombarded her from all sides, the din growing to a fever pitch as the ghosts all became angry with her for not talking back, for not listening.  And then.. as suddenly as it began, it ceased.<br/>From out of the back of the graveyard walked a kindly looking old man.  A man wearing a priest’s cassock.  An old priests’s cassock.  He quieted the spirits by his mere presence, and he spoke to them all as he approached the terrified and confused teen on the grave.  He sat beside her and they talked.  They talked the whole night away, about the restless dead, and Kia’s abilities now.  How she had changed, and how she would continue to grow and change, so long as she listened, and learned.  They talked about Magic and how it was real, and how she had it, and how she could get more.  And most importantly, they talked about her place in the world, and what she had to do from here on out.  And how things were going to be so much different for her.  And finally, they talked about how they would work together.  So many things that they promised each other, but it came down to one thing.  He would help her.  Father Iglesias would be her guide through this murky water and would help her control it all.  And all she needed to do was accept that he would be with her in spirit always.<br/>It was an easy enough promise to make, and it turned out to be the smartest one she had ever done.  The Father guided her through the last hours of the night, speaking to those restless spirits, taking them into herself, learning from them, and in the end, allowing them to pass on.<br/>By the time the other girls came out to find her after breakfast, Kia had been asleep on the tomb for hours, exhausted after her ordeal, but never again would she be that simple easily amused and vivant schoolgirl.  Now she had a place in life, and a purpose.  Even if it was a bit creepy.<br/><br/>Paradigm:<br/>There are spirits in the world, just as there is magic.  Spirits and magic are tied together inextricably, and they are part and parcel fo the same force.  These spirits contain the knowledge of the power of Magic, and through their very existences, can allow a person to tap into that power.  By chanelling the essences of various spirits, trading time and energy to them for their raw power, their connectedness, Kia is able to alter the fabric of that power, and thereby reality.  So long as she has access to spirits that she can bargain with and/or coerce into being her conduit, she will be able to perform miracles beyond mortal ken."

She tends to wear a pair of faded, tight, blue jeans w/ both knees blown out and another tear on the thigh on her right leg. She also wears a tight sleeveless white t shirt, brown cowboy boots, a red head band and a cowboy hair w/ the sides rolled up on it. She also wears a gun belt w/ a quick draw holster on her right side.<br/><br/><br/>Faith was born on Athens and lost both of her parents and her sisters in the war for independence. When the Alliance went to bombing the cities to root out the Browncoats, she ended up losing most of the rest of her family, while some of them fought against the Alliance some of them were just civilians. It didn’t matter though civilians or soldiers the Alliance was willing to kill anyone to achieve their goals and she hated them for it.<br/><br/>While she sorta sides w/ the Browncoats since they weren’t directly responsible for the bombing, she doesn’t care much for them either since if it wasn’t for them bringing their war to her home her family would still be w/ her.<br/><br/>She was pretty young but some of her neighbors took her in and helped her out and she left w/ them and one of the many groups of refugees. She ended up going to live w/ her cousin’s family of ranchers on Ezra. Things weren’t too bad on the Ranch (other then getting over her loss which was rather difficult for her) but they took care of her pretty well and she became very close w/ her cousin Katrina, the pair of them becoming pretty much inseparable.<br/><br/>In her time living on the ranch she learned how to be a ranch hand, and learned how to shoot. She spent a lot of hours training herself how to shoot, since she felt deep down that she had to be able to kill people that tried to hurt her and her loved ones, since nobody but Faith would protect Faith and her loved ones. She spent a lot of time learning how to draw quickly and shoot straight, taking any chance she could to pick up some up some trick shooting skills, which she managed to make some money w/.<br/><br/>It wasn’t long though before Ezra started falling apart though, when the governor bit the big one, along w/ all the war refugees, it caused a lot of trouble for the planet, as the planet started to slide down hill she had to put her gun to use more then a few times killing her first men when she was 17. The bastards deserved it though; they were a bunch of slavers trying to bag a little something extra on the side when they tried to snatch Katrina. Fortunately Faith wasn’t to far away having still been in the store while Katrina was hanging around outside. Hearing her cousin scream she ran out to find her. She found her being carried off by a trio of men who were trying to gag her and pull her down an alleyway.<br/><br/>By the time it was over the three of them got fit for coffins. She was surprised how little it affected her, while she knew that killing was wrong, and she didn’t like the idea of hurting anyone in general, some people deserved to die and she wasn’t about to let anyone or anything hurt anything that was precious to her.

It had been far too long since she had enjoyed the benefits of the high life. Unfortunately she had needed to go without it for close to two years now, but that didn't mean she didn't appreciate it. She had relished the few minutes of class needed to infiltrate a family's archives during a party, the 'test' the inquisitor had given her. She had done well, or so she assumed, to end up here, in luxury. She sat down on the bed and was immediately reminded it wasn't complete luxury. Her bed was no where near as soft as it could have been. Her family had come into its wealth, so no expense was spared enjoying themselves. However Serena had separated from that life, leaving its structures and rule far behind. Her luck hadn't been amazing since, but enough to get by. Well, that was until she met the inquisitor.<br/><br/>She stepped out from her bedroom and into the common room, dressed in the best cloths she could manage to find. If they were being treated this well, she would look the part. A corset and a long dress, remnants of the disguise she had adopted for her test, were the only things she could find, and she wondered as she walked into the common room what other company the inquisitor had recruited. Her eyes jumped to another girl who sat on a couch, sipping from a glass. Serena placed herself on the couch opposite, as far away as she could get without looking rude. The girl could only be described as a savage, hideous tattoos covering her bare arms, weapons at her belt. While Serena had gotten used to that sort of company in the streets, the girls appearance had jolted her back into reality.<br/><br/>A second woman sat close by, who introduced as<em>sister</em>. Serena had never met a holy woman before, but was fascinated by her. The robe she wore revealed parts of her legs, that were completely clean and pale.<br/><br/>""Serena,"" she said quietly, still staring at the woman.<br/><br/>Edit: Its a little disjointed, because I wrote it from the initial post, then Kongming's arrived, so i had to edit it in."

Frame Scene<br/>2. Determine groupings<br/>3. Resolve Conflict<br/><br/>Framing the Scene:   At the start of combat, the GM declares if the scene has any aspects (such as smoky, asteroid field, suprise attack, ect.) and lays out what zones the conflict encompasses if it occurs over a broad area.  Unless supported by an aspect, only characters in the same zone can attack each other.<br/><br/>Groupings:  At the start of a conflict, all characters lacking the capacity for independent action should be grouped with a major character.  Characters leading a group can ""attatch"" one character in the group each turn at the start of their action.  Attatching an NPC grants a +1 bonus in all skills possesed by NPC, and the character with an attatched NPC can use the skills of the NPC in place of his own.  Additionally, attatched NPCs can take stress for the character.  A character may only have one attatched NPC at a time.  Ever. (This is also only applicable in non-Fight scenes)<br/><br/>Resolve Conflict: The conflict sequence begins.  Attackers roll skills against skills rolled by a defender.<br/><br/>The attacker wants...    So he uses...    And the defender can use...<br/>To physically harm           Fists                    Fists<br/>To physically harm           Guns                    Athletics<br/>To physically

     Might<br/><br/>If the attacker wins, he inflicts stress on his opponent equal to his margin of success.  If the defender wins or ties, he gains ""spin"" equal to the margin of success -1  Spin may be used to add a bonus equal to the number of points of spin spent to an attack or defense.  Spin is good only against the opponent you got it against.  A character may only have 5 points of spin per opponent at a time.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Special Combat Options:</strong><br/><br/>Full Attack: A character who gives up defenses gains a +2 bonus on attacking.<br/><br/>Full Defense: A character who gives up attacks gains a +2 bonus on defense in combat.<br/><br/>Blocking: A character holding his action may roll defense for another character.  If his roll is higher than the attacker's, he prevents the attack.  If it is lower, the attack proceeds as normal and the original target rolls defense.<br/><br/>One shot left: A character may take a consequence at the end of his attack to gain a +3 bonus on the attack.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Character Creation:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Step 1: Aspects</strong><br/>The first and most important step to creating your character is to pick aspects.  Aspects are a collection of words or phrases that describe your character.  Things like ""Crack Shot""  ""Hot Blooded"" ""Delicate Hands"" and ""It's a trap!""  Aspects can also be negative things, like ""Drunkard"" ""Brashly Overconfident"" ""Sadistic Bastard""  and ""It's not my fault!""  Positive aspects enable you to use Courage points to gain bonuses on actions related to them.  Negative aspects, meanwhile, enable you to gain Courage points when they hinder you or provide roleplaying opportunities.  Therefore, a balance of positive and negative aspects is advisable.<br/><br/>Your character has 8 aspects, but you can leave up to 4 of them undefined and define them during play.<br/><br/><strong>Step 2: Skills</strong><br/>The next step, now that you know who your character is, is to decide what he or she is good at.  Your character has the following starting allotment of skills:  (the number by each skill indicates the base value of a check using that skill, and also how you can describe a check resulting in that number.  When you do something where there is an element of chance, you roll dice and, depending on the result, end up subtracting or adding up to three from or to the result)<br/><br/>1 skill at Great      (4)<br/>2 skills at Good     (3)<br/>3 skills at Fair       (2)<br/>4 skills at average (1)<br/><br/><strong>Skills:</strong>(combat skills in bold)<br/><br/><strong>Alertness</strong><br/>Art<br/><strong>Athletics</strong><br/>Contacts<br/>Deceit<br/>Empathy<br/>Endurance (Provides +2 health at good, +1 health at average)<br/><strong>Fists</strong><br/>Gambling<br/>Hacking (screwing with computers)<br/>Intimidation<br/>Leadership<br/>Medicine<br/><strong>Melee Weapons<br/>Might<br/>Pilot<br/>Projectiles</strong>(Guns, extensible arms, etc)<br/>Rapport<br/>Repair<br/>Resolve (Provides +2 composure at good, +1 composure at average)<br/>Resources (how much money you have access to)<br/>Sleight of Hand<br/>Stealth<br/><strong>Unarmed</strong><br/><br/><strong>Step 3: Composure and Health</strong><br/><br/>Composure reflects your ability to handle emotional and social setbacks, while health reflects your ability to survive in combat.  By default, you get five health boxes and five composure boxes, like so:<br/><br/>1  2  3  4  5<br/>[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/><br/>If your endurance or resolve is average or better, you get 6 health or composure boxes.<br/><br/>1  2  3  4  5  6<br/>[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/><br/>If your endurance or resolve is good or better, you get 7 health or composure boxes.<br/><br/>1  2  3  4  5  6  7<br/>[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/><br/>In combat, a character rolls a combat skill (such as blasters) against an applicable skill rolled by the defender (such as pilot).  It the attacker gets a higher result, the difference is applied to the defender as stress.  The defender must place an X in a health box with a number equal or higher to the amount of stress he has taken.  If this health box is already filled, he or she must fill in the next highest health box.<br/><br/>If a defender cannot fill in a health box, or does not wish to, he can instead take a Consequence.  A consequence is a bad situation, like an injury, a state of depression, or a loss of reactor containment.  A character can suffer three consequences before being taken out.  The first consequence is a minor consequence.  The second consequence is a moderate consequence.  The third consequence is a major consequence.  If a character is suffering a major consequence and takes another consequence, the attacker may determine what happens to him or her.  The only way to avoid this is to spend all Courage points to narrate the fate of your character.  (with GM approval)<br/><br/><strong>Step 4: Perks</strong><br/>Your character gets three perks, special bonuses that help make him or her more interesting.  You may leave your perks undefined and define them during play, if you wish.<br/><br/>Bloody Mess: Whenever enemies are defeated by this character, they are defeated in a spectacular manner, falling off railings, falling on the self destruct switch, etc.<br/><br/>Companion: Gain an NPC with 4 stress boxes, 2 skills at good, 3 skills at fair, and 3 skill at average.  Can act independently as well as attaching like an ally can.  Good for representing astromech droids, wingmen, and background lovers.(NOTE: Unusuable during standard Fights)<br/><br/>Bakunetsu suru: Whenever a vehicle or object is destroyed by this character it explodes spectacularly, possibly causing collateral damage<br/><br/>Gadget: Your character has just the right tool(s) for the job.   This gadget counts as an aspect which may be changed at will  by spending a Courage point.  (Examples: Paperclip, high tensile strength wire)<br/><br/>Introspective: May remove a wound from the composure track once per scene by spending a Courage point.<br/><br/>Master of Disguise: May spend a Courage point to leave play, then re enter play  by revealing that an NPC was the character in disguise.<br/><br/>Core Lander: Your mech has a

with 4 stress boxes, 1 skill at good, 1 skill at fair, and 1 skill at average. Allies can ""attach"" to a character to provide a +1 bonus to any skill they are trained in and take stress for the attached character. Allies cannot act independently without spending a fate point.  The allies perk is good for representing squadron mates, fellow foot soldiers, flunkies, and general purpose redshirts. (NOTE: Unusuable during standard Fights)<br/><br/>Skill Flexibility:  You may substitute one skill for another.  (only applies to one pair of skills, both skills chosen at the time this perk is taken, e.g. piloting <-> blasters)<br/><br/>Unique Power: The special skill that makes your mech what it is. Takes 2 CP to enable. +3 to a single skill on the first turn, +2 on the second, +1 on the third, and can be maintained at +1 for the remainder of the scene at the cost of an additional 1 CP. (Example: Burning Gundam's Burning system is +3 to melee)<br/><br/>Veteran: May use a skill to add aspects; (usually bad ones) can add 1 additional aspect for every two points achieved on the roll beyond the first.  (applies to one skill)<br/><br/>Unstoppable: Can take an extra moderate consequence.  (May apply either to the health track or the composure track)<br/><br/>Hot Blooded: Increases One Shot Left bonus to +6, but disables Unstoppable after One Shot Left is used.<br/><br/><strong>Step 5: Courage Points</strong><br/>Your character receives 8 Courage points to start the game with.<br/><br/>A Courage point may be spent to power certain perks, or to use the effect of an aspect to gain a +2 bonus on a roll.  You may use any number of Courage points on a roll as long as you still have applicable aspects.  The aspects of other people can apply as well, so if you have the aspect ""crack shot"" and your opponent has the aspect ""slow and overweight"" you can spend 2 Courage points to get a +4 bonus on the roll.  An aspect can only be used in this way once per scene.<br/><br/><strong>Injury and Damage:</strong><br/>Whenever a defender suffers stress, the defender must place an X in a health box with a number equal or higher to the amount of stress he took.  If this health box is already filled, he or she must fill in the next highest health box.<br/><br/>If a defender cannot fill in a health box, or does not wish to, he can instead take a Consequence.  A consequence is a bad situation, like an injury, a state of depression, or a loss of reactor containment.  A character can suffer three consequences before being taken out.  The first consequence is a minor consequence.  The second consequence is a moderate consequence.  The third consequence is a major consequence.  If a character is suffering a major consequence and takes another consequence, the attacker may determine what happens to him or her.  The only way to avoid this is to spend all force points to narrate the fate of your character.  (with GM approval)<br/><br/>Alternatively, a defender who is taking a consequence may offer a concession, which causes the character to be instantly taken out, but get to narrate what happens to him or herself.  The attacker gets to choose whether or not to accept the concession.  If the concession was reasonable (in the eyes of the GM) the character takes a consequence instead, and gains a force point.  The attacker, meanwhile, loses a force point."

Allenby Beardsley, the Fighter from Sweden, was one of many mothers in that day, and raised her daughter to be just as scrappy and strong as she was. Nobody ever knew who the father was, but given Allenby's habits, it could have been any number of men. Leona never gave it much thought, and took on her role as a driven fighter. Allenby's strong friendship with Domon Kasshu gave Leona access to the strongest martial artist in the Earth Sphere, the King of Hearts himself, and she learned well from his teachings, becoming one of the pre-eminent practioners of the style, apart from Domon himself and his son Ryumaru, with whom Leona quickly formed a strong friendship. They competed strongly, and even became a couple for a short time before Ryumaru's disappearance. Ryumaru and his father never quite got along, however, and Leona became Domon's favorite, receiving his most secret teachings and also inheriting the newest of the Shining line of Gundams from Rain: Burning Gundam. She enters this year's competition as a serious favorite.<br/><br/>Personality: Leona is a whole lot like Domon Kasshu. Determined, unwavering, single minded, exceptionally skilled. This is of course due in no small part to his tutelage and a significant amount of spunky attitude from her infamously energetic mother. She is a lot more serious than her mother, however, again because of learning under Domon, and the fact that Allenby was often nowhere to be found during her Leona's life. She is an unapologetic straight shooter who is at an unfortunate juncture in her young life. Her lover left her, her mother is missing, and her Master is too busy. She throws herself fully into the fight to try and escape.<br/><br/>Likes: Strong people, fighting, determination, martial arts, solitude, beautiful women, courageous men, challenges, superior opponents<br/>Dislikes: Cowards, excessive talking, large crowds, liars, quitters, politicians<br/>Habits: Tends to seek solitude practicing her art<br/><br/>Mobile Suit Description: Burning Gundam, the long-awaited successor to God Gundam. As 18 years have passed, the suit is greatly advanced from the previous God design - the variations of the Finger-style special attack have been quite expanded and refined, along with significant general improvements to every part of the mech. However, the basics remain the same, with the mech designed primarily around hand-to-hand combat, with support weapons only for use when necessary. Its main weapons are its hands and feet, the feet now being equipped with the Shining tech as well. Leona has adapted her own more impact-oriented talents to its use as well, with such attacks as Burning Punch and Burning Kick becoming mainstays. Advances in magnetized joints allow all mechs, not just Burning Gundam, to be significantly more agile, while advances in metal compounds allows them to be much lighter. 1:1 representation is now completely possible, and it is exemplified in Burning Gundam.<br/>(http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/gff/f90ii.jpg)<br/><br/>Aspects:<br/>1.

She has trained under a surprisingly large number of masters, none of whom gave her her final combat style. It is said that her father was a man just as hot blooded and skilled as her, but little more is known about the fighter’s parentage. She does not behave as if her parents, or any family, is left alive. She is a traveler, wandering far for reasons unclear; she claims wanderlust and a search for a truly worthy opponent.<br/><br/>Personality: Fiery and determined, Asae is an ever-energetic woman. Her surface bravado masks a mind capable of complicated strategy, tending to culminate in a dramatic revelation. She likes those. Outside of battle, she can be seen as easy-going, merely enjoying life—but her sword is always there by her side, ready to be drawn at a moment’s notice. Her hot blood sometimes boils over, resulting in bursts of anger and overly brave actions—but, at least in Gundam fights, this tends to work out, as it helps activate her Spiral Power. Asae has a powerful sense of justice, and is not afraid in the least to fight to uphold it. But this honor code does not extend to combat strategy; all’s fair in war.<br/><br/>Likes: Courage, Women (Preferably the sexy kind), Doing the ‘Impossible’, Fighting, Challenge, Determination, Heroic Speeches, Dramatic Moments<br/>Dislikes: Cowardice, Giving Up, Boredom, Total Foolishness, Politic[s/ians]<br/>Habits: Asking/saying “Who the hell do you think I am?!”, Letting her temper get the best of her (sometimes—may result in punching, crowning moments of awesome),<br/><br/>Mobile Suit Description:<br/>Crossbone Gundam. The origins of this suit are unclear—Asae’s model seems to have incorporated features from multiple other designs. Unlike some Gundams, the Crossbone greatly relies on an extensive arsenal in combat. Often, it is equipped with the Full Cloth, an armor cloak equipped with additional boosters for flight. The skull-shaped shoulder pads of the Full Cloth are can detach and then attach over the hands to provide high-power punch attacks. Both arms are equipped with an energy emitter than can fold over the hand and generate either an energy shield or a close-range Brand Marker attack. Each foot contains a hidden Heat Dagger blade, and each calf conceals a hand-held dagger. The front waist panels contain power Scissor Clamps for latching onto and reeling in enemy suits. The rear panels conceal the twin Screw Whips, drill/clamp-equipped weapons. The head holds the usual twin vulcans, and twin standard beam sabers are carried to each side of it on the torso. The Crossbone is also equipped with four non-built-in weapons, which can be stored on the hips. The Murasama Buster is a solid-state sword capable of function as a gun; it is also equipped with limited duration but high power beam generators. The Beam Zamber and Beam Cannon are a large beam scimitar and handheld gun, respectively, that can combine to form the powerful Zanbuster gun. Finally, the Crossbone sometimes carries the Peacock Smasher, a powerful beam crossbow capable of spreading for a nine directional attack.<br/><br/><br/>Just click this for a ton of pics.

The world was devastated by endless conflicts over hundreds of years, until the leaders of the world finally decided on a format. Each nation would produce a mech and a pilot every four years, and enter then into the Gundam Fight tournament. The pilots would challenge each other to battle anywhere on the planet Earth, and they would fight until one of them was defeated. Eventually, one pilot would win out over all the others, and be crowned ""Gundam of Gundams"" for the next four years, their host nation taking control of space for the next four years.<br/><br/>Herein lied an important point - Earth had become ignored. The wealthy had moved into space, living in orbital satellite simulations of their homelands, largely ignoring Earth other than as a method by which to gain control of space. Earth was a mess, and after the introduction of the Gundam Fight, was turned into a total slum. No sector of the Earth escaped this, as the Fighters roamed at will, collateral damage abounding. Eventually, some members of the space colonies became guilt-ridden and tried to create technology to save the Earth. The result was Ultimate Gundam.<br/><br/>The monstrous JDG-00X Devil Gundam that lurked in the shadows of the 13th Gundam Fight was originally intended for a more noble purpose. As designed by the Kasshus, the Ultimate Gundam was supposed to use its nanotechnology to restore the battered Earth to its original condition. However, while Kyoji Kasshu tried to keep it out of the hands of Ulube Ishikawa, a system malfunction caused the Ultimate Gundam to transform into the Devil Gundam. The Devil Gundam seized Kyoji and used him as the core life unit to power its own self-evolution. After arriving on Earth, the Devil Gundam was found by Master Asia, the former King of Hearts and winner of the 12th Gundam Fight. Angered at the damage done to Earth by the Gundam Fight, Master Asia hoped to use the Devil Gundam to destroy humanity and restore the Earth to its original condition. (This paragraph from MAHQ.net)<br/><br/>It was Domon Kasshu, Kyoji's younger brother, that managed to defeat the possessed Kyoji and Devil Gundam, and his ideologically obsessed former Master. Domon inherited the King of Hearts title, and took the name Gundam of Gundams, and gained Japan control of the Earth Sphere for four years. After the events of the 13th Fight, every nation was eager to see what Japan would do with their hard-earned control. Domon, following the spirit of his Master's wishes, immediately began working to reform the Gundam Fight and restore Earth. The battered nations of Earth, after hundreds of years of barely sustaining civilization, readily participated in Domon's plans. The nations of space agreed as well, as after 60+ years of space living, a significant part of the population wanted to return to the planet. And so, reconstruction began.<br/><br/>The first thing to go was the Gundam Fight as it was - it was reorganized into a professional sports league. The nations of space began to reintegrate with their Earthbound counterparts, sharing their wealth and technology. After ten years of coordinated reconstruction, the Earth had been returned to a state comparable to that of its highest point before the endless wars. During this time, a biosphere had been created in Antarctica, taking up most of the continent. Within it was a completely sustainable ecosystem, complete with a city - populated mostly by the employees of the biosphere and season ticket holders - after all, this biosphere is where the Gundam Fights took place. Everyone was evacuated before a fight, except for those that had signed the waiver - these were primarily thrill-seeking spectators. The spectators were allowed full reign within the complex, but there was not a fighter in the league that would sacrifice their performance for the sake of a person that had chosen to be there. Deaths were not unheard of.<br/><br/>Politically, the world now participated in a new UN, but one that was structured similarly to the old United States. It was not a utopia, but it functioned acceptably for most of the population. However, it was Domon Kasshu, Administrator of the Gundam Fight League, that held most of the power in the world, even though he had forsaken most of his official power years before. He held the hearts of the people, and any word he uttered was taken as complete truth by society. Due to this, he became somewhat of a recluse socially and politically, but whenever he did speak, it was followed to the letter.<br/><br/>It is now FC 79, 18 years after the official end of the 13th Gundam Fight. All is seemingly well with the world, and a new GFL season is set to begin."

Allenby Beardsley, the Fighter from Sweden, was one of many mothers in that day, and raised her daughter to be just as scrappy and strong as she was. Nobody ever knew who the father was, but given Allenby's habits, it could have been any number of men. Leona never gave it much thought, and took on her role as a driven fighter. Allenby's strong friendship with Domon Kasshu gave Leona access to the strongest martial artist in the Earth Sphere, the King of Hearts himself, and she learned well from his teachings, becoming one of the pre-eminent practioners of the style, apart from Domon himself and his son Ryumaru, with whom Leona quickly formed a strong friendship. They competed strongly, and even became a couple for a short time before Ryumaru's disappearance. Ryumaru and his father never quite got along, however, and Leona became Domon's favorite, receiving his most secret teachings and also inheriting the newest of the Shining line of Gundams from Rain: Burning Gundam. She enters this year's competition as a serious favorite.<br/><br/>Personality: Leona is a whole lot like Domon Kasshu. Determined, unwavering, single minded, exceptionally skilled. This is of course due in no small part to his tutelage and a significant amount of spunky attitude from her infamously energetic mother. She is a lot more serious than her mother, however, again because of learning under Domon, and the fact that Allenby was often nowhere to be found during her Leona's life. She is an unapologetic straight shooter who is at an unfortunate juncture in her young life. Her lover left her, her mother is missing, and her Master is too busy. She throws herself fully into the fight to try and escape.<br/><br/>Likes: Strong people, fighting, determination, martial arts, solitude, beautiful women, courageous men, challenges, superior opponents<br/>Dislikes: Cowards, excessive talking, large crowds, liars, quitters, politicians<br/>Habits: Tends to seek solitude practicing her art<br/><br/>Mobile Suit Description: Burning Gundam, the long-awaited successor to God Gundam. As 18 years have passed, the suit is greatly advanced from the previous God design - the variations of the Finger-style special attack have been quite expanded and refined, along with significant general improvements to every part of the mech. However, the basics remain the same, with the mech designed primarily around hand-to-hand combat, with support weapons only for use when necessary. Its main weapons are its hands and feet, the feet now being equipped with the Shining tech as well. Leona has adapted her own more impact-oriented talents to its use as well, with such attacks as Burning Punch and Burning Kick becoming mainstays. Advances in magnetized joints allow all mechs, not just Burning Gundam, to be significantly more agile, while advances in metal compounds allows them to be much lighter. 1:1 representation is now completely possible, and it is exemplified in Burning Gundam.<br/>(http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/gff/f90ii.jpg)"

The air was humid and salty, bearing the distinct smell the sea had in this part of the world. A smell like no other Clark has ever smelled. He couldn't really tell what was so unique about this smell, but he knew he could recognize it among every other smell, even with his damaged from the coke nostrils.  As he sat on the bed, he glanced at the open window, not registering the sight at first.  ""<em>Shit! That's why it's so cold in here</em>"" he thought to himself after awhile. ""<em>I must have left the window open last night</em>"". He stretched as he stood up, heading for the shower.<br/><br/>Twenty minutes later, his masculine body was in a blue, cashmere Burberry sweater and a pair of dark chino, cotton denim Burberry jeans. His favorite brown Timberland leather shoes completing his casual outfit. He lit a Camel and inhaled the smoke deep into his lungs, letting it slowly out of his nostrils with pleasure.  With the cigarette hanging from his lips, he took a small metal box from his pocket. He opened it and put some of the thick white powder on a small mirror on the table.  He drew another sip of smoke as he started working on the powder with a credit card. In a few minutes, two long, white lines where laid on the mirror in front of him.  A short metal straw dug out of the other pocket was already in his right nostril. Then in the other nostril. Mmmmm,  the slight burn inside his nose, the bitterness on the back of his throat and down his stomach. Then came the rush, the warmth. His heart beating faster, his mind clearing out, raising his consciousness above normal peoples'.  Oh God, what a great feeling....<br/><br/>He put the box and the straw back in his pockets, grabbed the pack of Camels in his hand and stepped out, heading towards Liv 's room.  Images and sounds started popping in his head from their last night 's  quarrel.  ""<em>That was one of our worst fights</em>"". He thought. He loved Liv, but there 's one thing that he couldn't stand about her. Her hysteria. He could tolerate almost anything from that woman and God knows she sure deserved it. She loved him, she cared for him and she was the most beautiful woman since Eve. But her hysteria crises where just too much for him.<br/><br/>""<em>Be that as it may, today it's her birthday. Today all of this is of no importance. This day belongs to her</em>"". He thought.  He knew exactly what had to be done, to cast out last night 's bad memories and give her the most  pleasant wake up at the same time.  He would sneak into her bedroom, approach her quietly while she was asleep and give her 'oral pleasure'.  Waking up from his soft kisses down there, on her most sensitive spot, was Liv 's favorite.  Success was guaranteed.  With a lust fueled smirk, he opened the door to Liv 's room.<br/><br/>The fact that the door was not shut properly passed unnoticed by Clark, as his attention was on being quiet.  The sight before him made him freeze into position.  He blinks and blinks and then he blinks again.  His mind unable to comprehend the information from his eyes.  Unaware that his jaw is practically hanging on his face, causing his mouth to form an 'O',  he is standing there unable to move a single muscle.  ""<em>What the Hell was in that coke?</em>"" His numb consciousness asks inside his head.   He suddenly realizes that his mouth soreness could shame Sahara. As if the first muscle to move in order to close his mouth, unlocked all of his kinetic abilities again, he rushes beside his loved one and knees on the floor taking her pretty, blonde, alas lifeless head into his hands.  ""<em>LIV! LIV! My love, wake up!</em>"" He cries in vein.  Tears emerge from his eyes, rolling down his chins, as he holds her lifeless head on his lap.  Finally he starts registering the information before him.  Her blueish lips, the pillow that was on her head before he tossed it away.  The blunt trauma on her head and finally the blood on the floor and on his hands and lap.  ""<em>My God</em>"" the apocalypse of the scene is like a nuclear blast inside his head.

How 's Liv? Still asleep?</em>"" the voice of Claire Ashton echoed in the hallway.  ""<em>Where the fuck did you came from?</em>"" was the answer that came to his mind.  A frenzy train of thoughts.

""<em>FUUUUUCK!!!</em>"".<br/><br/>The voice of Claire, now standing beside him outside Liv 's room, snapped him out of it as she spoke once again: ""<em>Well, aren't you gonna say good morning? Is everything OK dear?</em>""<br/><br/>""<em>No Claire, everything is not OK. In fact, everything is fucked up. So fucked up, that I'm forced to do this...</em>"" Before even finishing his sentence, his fist stroke her on the chin rendering her unconscious.   ""<em>Now what you dick-head? What are you gonna do with her now?</em>""  The voice in his head was laughing at him. ""<em>You are so fucked. You won't even get a court trial. Straight into the gas chamber</em>"". He couldn't afford that.<br/><br/>He looked at the direction Claire had come from, down the hallway. There was breakfast being served. He could hear Milton ringing the bells already.  No. Absolutely not.  His only other option was at the other end of the hallway, though the back door and out on the island. If he could get there he might have a chance.  He lifted the unconscious Claire's body on his back and headed down the stairs.  This time luck seemed to favor him, as the other guests were either already having breakfast, or still in their rooms.  Once he got out of the house unnoticed, he headed for the cave at the east side of the island.  He knew this cave pretty well, since he had spend some romantic time there in the past.<br/><br/>The entrance of the cave was somehow hidden by some overgrown bushes.  He walked deep into the cave and placed Claire on a plateau, still unconscious.  He reached into his pocket and took a Camel from the pack.  Lit it and sat down on the plateau, smoking deeply, in order to calm himself.  He had to think what to do next.  ""<em>And now what dick-head?</em>"" The voice in his head spoke again. He needed some kind of rope to tie Claire up. At least until he could figure something better. He took of his denim pants and grabbed a nearby rock.  With the help of the rock he managed to tore the pants to stripes.  He then perplexed them together creating a $250 rope.  He tied her wrists and her ankles firmly, gagged her and headed back to the mansion.<br/><br/>Fortunately he managed to sneak back into his room without any unwanted encounters.  ""<em>Fuck me</em>"" He thought as he was laying an adequate dose of cocaine on the mirror.  ""<em>Things are gonna get hard here very soon. I've gotta find out who killed Liv. Otherwise I am doomed</em>"" he thought as he leaned over the mirror with the metallic straw in his nostril. His hands still stained with Liv 's blood.<br/>"

Her lips twisted in ugly grimace, fingers trembled as she snatched up her purse and tossed the contents on the bed. Between lipstick, a small mirror, comb and razor lay a dark glass bottle. Linda dove at it and took two brightly colored pills, downing them hastily. She waited anxiously, staring at the far wall.<i>Did it move? Was it looking at her? Where are you, sis?

The line moved interminably slow. Why she was in a hurry Rebecca did not know. The flight to Moscow would take about nine hours and she did not relish the long flight. Still, it was Moscow, Russia, a place she had never been before and she was well traveled. The man in front of her stepped through the security check and the alarm went off immediately. Rebecca waited as the man emptied his pockets in a basket and tried again. He looked back at Rebecca and rather guilelessly undressed her with his eyes.<br/><br/>She wore a typically standard blue pants-suit and jacket with a yellow button down blouse and navy pumps. Pinned to the lapel of her jacket was a gold fashioned rose, a 'Yellow Rose of Texas'. The business like raiment though did little to dampen her attractive looks. Golden locks of hair tumbled down her shoulders, her blue eyes were soft and pretty, her red lips inviting. She was neither very tall or particularly short, nor was she large busted or model thin. Her angelic countenance and slim athletic frame however drew more looks than she was sometimes comfortable with. She looked every bit the blond haired American woman that men spent their lifetime pursuing. At thirty-two years of age she had risen to a position as a lawyer, specializing in finance and business deals. She held a dual degree in law and business from Texas Southern University. She was a Texan girl down to her toes, growing up in Huston and now for two years working for the Houston based company Halliburton. In short, she was sharp as a whip and anyone mistaking her pretty blond looks for a lack of any savvy quickly found out different. She was not however above using her femininity and looks to ease through a business deal. The bat of an eyelash or some tasteful cleavage had more than once served her well dealing with was largely a male dominated line of work. The man ahead of her moved through the security check and Rebecca did also, without incident.<br/><br/>""Boarding Flight 1590 for Moscow Gate F. Boarding Flight 1590 for Moscow Gate F,"" the passionless overhead voice called out.<br/><br/>This wasn't Rebecca's first flight in the past twenty-four hours. She had flown out of Houston to JFK the day before and stayed over at a nearby hotel. Presuming no delays were in her future she would arrive by noon Moscow time. She would have time to catch up on some sleep before she met her counterpart for dinner, the first business meeting would come the following morning. Rebecca was brokering the final deal on a contract partnership with Gazprom, a Russian gas company. It was the largest and most affluent in the Russian Federation and the deal was valued up to 100 million American dollars. Halliburton was selling Gazprom a line of valves and piping the company would need to expand over the next ten years. The deal was not without its controversies, relations with Russian and its president Putin had been chilly. The business transaction was even debated in the U.S. Congress but ultimately given the go ahead. It seemed as though the Cold War had lately creeped back with a chill. Nevertheless private businesses were typically ahead of the politics of the day and the two countries still did a brisk amount of trade and business.<br/><br/>Rebecca boarded her flight and was seated in the first class section, the leg and elbow room thankfully generous. With her carry-on and laptop tucked away she sat comfortably with a book and seat belted in. She barely listened to the flight attendants as they droned on as they always did about the various things flight attendants do, the exits, the seat belts, the oxygen masks, and so on. Rebecca did find a pamphlet tucked into a side pocket that covered basic Russian greetings and phrases. Silently she tried to form the words in her head. Some were easy but more were quite difficult and very foreign to her. Rebecca was bilingual but Spanish would do her less good than English on this particular adventure.<br/><br/>Soon the plane was off the ground, and thankfully the trip at last was coming to a head. Nine hours laid ahead of Rebecca before the arrival to Moscow. After she tired of her book, having made it half way through the trashy romance novel, she set it aside and pondered what lie ahead of her. She knew her counterpart only by name and face, the two had only exchanged a handful of e-mails prior to this trip. The minutia of the deal, the vales and piping were not her specialty. She was to finalize the financial and legal end of the contract. She had very little wiggle room when it came to negotiating the exact monetary terms, the deal had largely been hammered out already. If needed she could go down but only a nominal amount. There were of course the contracts to go over and sign as well as the initial logistics involved in getting Gazprom their first shipment of much needed parts.<br/><br/>The flight attendants came around with meals and drinks. Keeping in the spirit of the trip she ordered a vodka and cranberry. Not long after she was covered up with a thin blanket and sleeping. The flight was tedious and with little noteworthy account. A good four hours into the flight the first lights of Europe began to twinkle out from under the plane below the clouds. The rest of the flight was spent finishing her book, more sleep, meals and one additional vodka cranberry.<br/><br/><em>Ding.</em><br/><br/>""Arriving at Sheremetyev airport, in 10 minutes,"" the pilot announced.<br/><br/>At last! Rebecca sighed. At last in Moscow. She was excited, truth be told. She loved to travel and loved her work, it was the best of both worlds. She had every plan to knock the Russian's socks off with her professionalism, knowledge and savoir faire.<br/><br/><em>They wont know what hit them.</em>She mused to herself.<br/><br/>The taxing and docking of the plane seemed to take forever. She was however one of the first passengers to exit the plan and into the airport terminal. A hotel attendant was to meet her and take her to the hotel, the Baltschug Kempinski. It was a historic hotel, dating back even prior to the 1900's and while modernized apparently still held an old world charm, she was very excited to see it, and her room. A young man got her attention, he was wearing a doorman's outfit with brimless round flat topped hat, he could be no one other than the hotel attendant she sought.<br/><br/>In broken English he said, ""Welcome to Moscow Ms. Downs. Follow me if you would please, your luggage has been seen to already,"" she followed the attendant through the maze of the airport. The sounds and sites were quite foreign to her. Nearly everything was written in Russian and she could make none of it out, the chatter of the airport visitors completely unintelligible to her. They spoke so fast, she could never imagine picking up the language. She was led outside the airport to a car at curbside, a shiny black Mercedes. The driver was stowing away her luggage, she recognized the suite case and garment bag, and she got into the backseat of the car. The famed sites of Moscow rolled by her view, Red Square, the Kremlin and the gorgeous St. Basil's. Rebecca dug her Blackberry out of her purse and brought it online. Gratefully it did and it seemed she would have at least access to her e-mail until she could get her laptop set up. She sent her supervisor at Halliburton a quick e-mail ensuring she had arrived and was on her way to the hotel.<br/><br/>The Baltschug Kempinski came into view, it was indeed a beautiful old world building. The car pulled up curbside and the door was opened for her, her luggage taken away to her room she presumed, and Ms. Rebecca Downs, blond haired All-American girl, stepped foot into the hotel lobby.<br/><br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b6/20071005-hotel-baltschug-kempinski-m.jpg)"

She was to meet her American counterpart to take her around the city and offer her dinner on behalf of the company. In total Varinka style she was late and cursing at all the slow people in the subway.<br/><br/>Her dyed snowwhite hair was combed loose to her shoulders. She had picked the black suede boots with a low heel on her feet and a skirt to her knees and a white panty underneath. The outfit was finished with a white blouse and a black tie loosely around her neck. The weather was good and although the sun was setting, the temperature was still pleasant. At this time of the day the major travelling streams were from the center so her subway was relatively quiet.<br/><br/>She had seen Rebecca on pictures and had a few email exchanges. Varinka wasn't really into the business. She just enjoyed life having a very powerful and rich father. In no way she was related to the deal, all she had to do was show Rebecca around and be her guide during her stay in Moscow. Of course Rebecca had to believe otherwise so for Rebecca she had to fake being a real business woman.<br/><br/>Rebecca would be doing business with a companion of her dad who she would meet tomorrow at the first briefing. The Texas company knew what luxury was since they booked a room in the Baltschug. On the other hand, since the hotel was run by her father, it wasn't too strange at all.<br/><br/>Varinka knew the hotel well. Before she found a penthouse she really liked, she lived in the hotel.

Black and white veined columns of marble were spaced across before her, the check-in desk fashioned of rich wood was to her right.

A large and distinctly Russian rug led its visitors to the reception desk, and Rebecca made her way in that direction.<br/><br/>Ahead of her she saw a woman leaning on the counter talking to one of the clerks. The first thing she noticed was the shock of white hair. Few could pull off such a look, and this woman was one of those select few. The Russian woman was quite attractive, Rebecca decided, the hint of legs past the hem of her skirt spoke to a sultry form, and never mind the ass which would tempt anyone. Most of all though she was jealous of the woman's low heeled black suede boots.<br/><br/><em>Damn, she's hot.</em>Rebecca mused to herself.<br/><br/>It was then she added up the clues and realized this could only be Varinka Mikhailicheva, the Gazprom representative she was to connect with. She recognized the woman from a photograph sent to her and so she approached the woman.<br/><br/>""Varinka Mikhailicheva?"" Rebecca stumbled over the surname name, the sounds unfamiliar to her.

It reminded him of London, when he had a Makarov PM tucked in his waistband and not a Blackberry strapped to his belt.  The scent of the brew brought her visage into his mind’s eye. The Brits, a storied people, could not find the ability to make a worthy cup of coffee.  Standing by the bed, his mug steaming, the sheets rumpled, her scent mixed with his, the musky aroma of robust, primal, guttural sex hung heavy in the air. Her taste still upon his tongue as he sipped the acrid liquid and he was saddened as she emerged from the shower, towel-less, glistening that he had to end her life…<br/><br/>The Blackberry buzzed, shaking him from his reverie. He gazed at the screen and tossed it on the writing desk. He caught his reflection in the wall mirror; he studied himself, noting the bit of gray at his temples, the only sign of his age. He was fit, lean and flat-bellied. His black eyes were bits of obsidian, dusted with pewter-like flecks.  His mother said he had doll’s eyes. Lifeless. Cold. Like his father. His father had died serving in Afghanistan and his mother hanged herself in their small, cold-water flat after the funeral. All he could think about then as she twisted lazily in the dust-mote sunlight was who had the lifeless eyes now….<br/><br/>His brow furrowed. The past was dead and buried, like his parents, like so many of his comrades in service to the State. It was not a time for him to be morbid. There was much to do.  The camera was set, the fiber optics in place and the lap-top hummed on the desk.<br/><br/>He was in service, of sorts, to another entity.<br/><br/><br/>And just as authoritarian.<br/>"

The two were led to a table in the opulent restaurant by a window that afforded a wonderful view of the river and the lights of the Kremlin across it. The table setting was immaculate, the fine silverware and heavily woven table cloth and napkins richly adorned with Russian artistry. The two women took their seats. The usual water and bread were brought out, as well as some red wine of an origin Rebecca was unfamiliar with. If she had a failing, a flaw in her character, it was her penchant for alcohol, and so it was she ordered also a Vodka martini to sip upon while Varinka and her went over the menus.<br/><br/>Varinka looked terribly attractive under the soft lighting of the dining room, and in front of the backdrop of the view the window provided, the lights of the Kremlin, the simmer of the river's water reflecting the lights. She looked positively Russian, and was quite sexy decided Rebecca. Known only to a very select few friends, Rebecca was bisexual and enjoyed the company of women as eagerly as men. Were Varinka not Rebecca's business client, she would very likely hit on the woman. But to do so, under these circumstances would be wholly unprofessional, and might even endanger the very important and lucrative contract she was there to consummate. Such a thing could not be risked.<br/><br/>Varinka seemed to notice the thoughtful expression in Rebecca's eyes, the wheels turning around in her mind. She turned her gaze back to the menu, refocusing on deciding what she would order for dinner.<br/><br/>""This Pelmini sounds delicious actually, I think I'll have that,"" decided Rebecca.<br/><br/>Sitting aside in her chair, Rebecca crossed her long tan legs. The open toe of her heel pointed outward and bounced conversationally as she sipped down her Vodka martini, nibbling on the fish breaded appetizers. The two had yet to talk any business, and Rebecca wanted to prod Varinka to see if she might get a feel for what tomorrow would bring, and if any last minute counter proposals might be in the making."

She couldn't tell what but something surely was there.<br/><br/>Rebecca was stylish, though not her style, which she liked and she seemed genuinely impressed from the city sights. Another thing Varinka liked about this woman. Another good thing was that when the appetizers came, Rebecca had her third wodka, so she liked alcohol, something that might come in handy for Varinka later.<br/><br/>After she had ordered the food Varinka tried to hold a relaxing conversation to Rebecca to have her drink more but Rebecca seemed more interested in the business, something Varinka didn't know anything about. Viktor would know but he must not get involved yet.<br/>""I can't tell too much about the deal Rebecca,"" she tried to fend off the business talk. ""My dad didn't tell me all the details so I'd better not say anything before I say something wrong.""<br/><br/>She tried to get the conversation to more familiar grounds by asking Rebecca if she planned to come back to Russia or stay longer so she could show her around the country or the city, hoping the American woman would not ask too much about the business deal."

No matter, as Rebecca's attention was easily diverted after her third martini. The strong Russian alcohol gave her a nice buzz, and while she was still in complete control of her faculties, she made a mental note to cut herself off soon. Therein lie Rebecca's dilemma, when enough was enough.<br/><br/>She and Varinka spoke of lighter things. She expressed her desire to return to Russia and Moscow, and her dismay at not having enough time on this trip to have a closer look around. She very much wanted to take in a Russian ballet performance but there just wasn't enough time.<br/><br/>Their entrees came, and the timing couldn't have been better. Rebecca had been drinking on mostly an empty stomach, and the dinner would help. This really only gave her license to drink more however and so another martini followed after the third.<br/><br/>Another side effect of the alcohol, one that often got Rebecca in trouble, was how it charged her sexual appetite. More than she'd care to admit, after a night out on the town, after that one last drink, she had end up in bed with some man or woman she could hardly recall much less put a name to. It didn't happen with alarming frequency, but it happened nevertheless.<br/><br/>So it was as the two women finished their entrees, Rebecca's mood swung to one of a more flirtatious nature. Harmless flirtations, but ones unlikely not lost on Varinka. She would lean forward in conversation, affording a fine view of her breasts, braless under her dress. She'd lay a hand on Varinka's thigh with shared confidence or agreement to a point made. They spoke of trivial matters, and matters more immediate, Rebecca asking about Varinka's family and life in Russia.<br/><br/>The martinis kept coming, she couldn't even recall ordering them, the drinks just kept flowing. Rebecca was indeed drunk, but she was never a falling down, sloppy drunk. Just an overly flirtatious one, who sometimes made bad choices."

It make it easier for Varinka. Sure she had a few too to loosen up but she sure as hell wasn't as far gone at the end of dinner as Rebecca was. Varinka told the waiter to put the check on a bill for Rebecca. She smiled at her own little evil deed as Rebecca wasn't able to stop her anyway for a few reasons. First because she didn't speak Russian and second, Varinka guessed she was too drunk anyway. The moment she found out she had to pay the exquisite food, well, Rebecca would have other things on her mind.<br/><br/>When they stood up, Varinka offered to bring Rebecca to her room. Together the two women left the restaurant, through the exquisite hall, into the elevator. Maybe it was because she had had a few martini's herself or maybe it was the continuous flirting from Rebecca's side, but Varinka wanted nothing more than to rip the clothes off the American laywer and make love to her all night.<br/><br/>As soon as they walked into the room she pinned Rebecca to the door and kissed her passionately, letting her hand find its way to Rebecca's breasts.<br/><br/><em>Show time Viktor.

Shield<br/><strong>Real Name</strong>: Alexandra Powers<br/><strong>Other Aliases</strong>: None<br/><strong>Identity</strong>: The Shield is a publicly known superheroine.<br/><strong>Occupation</strong>: Being The Shield; SHIELD Special Agent<br/><strong>Legal Status</strong>: Citizen of United States of America with no Criminal Record<br/><strong>Place of Birth</strong>: Freedom City<br/><strong>Martial Status</strong>: Single<br/><strong>Known Relatives</strong>: Rex Powers, corrupt police detective (father), Natalya Powers, martial arts master-owns her own dojo (Mother), Jason Powers, artist (Little Brother)<br/><strong>Current Base of Operations</strong>: Freedom City<br/><strong>Extent of Education</strong>: High School Diploma, Army<br/><strong>Religion</strong>: None currently<br/><strong>Group Affiliation</strong>: None Currently<br/><br/><strong>Background Information/Origin</strong>:<br/><br/>While Alexandra never grew up in the greatest home, she also didn't grow up in a terrible home.  Sure her dad's a crooked cop, but he never let his little girl see that side of him.  She'd always adored him, and both him and Natalya always taught her the values of right and wrong, not matter how grey they actually perceived the world for themselves.  In fact, Natalya knew nothing of Rex's involvement in such corrupt schemes that would bring them home a paycheck every month that put just a little more food on the table.<br/><br/>Living on the rough side of the tracks came with some inherent risks, mostly gangs and street violence.  While they lived on the fringes of such a society, Alexandra also had to go to school in the middle of such a place.  It's the very reason that ever since she's been able to walk, that her mother has been teaching her how to defend herself.  Not in sport, but in necessity.  Natalya, in fact, is one of the founders of a martial arts called Kajukenbo, specifically made for self defense and combines a number of martial arts.  Also, there are no such things as 'illegal' maneuvers in such a style.<br/><br/>Eventually, Alexandra started to grow up.  She'd seen heroes and heroines on TV and thought them wonderous.  Yet with no powers of her own, she couldn't see herself doing anything like that.  Instead she also viewed the police above those heroes, mostly because of her dad, but also because they had to fight within the boundries of the law.  And they really were risking their lives every day.  Wanting to become like this, Alexandra decided to join the army.  At eighteen she was into and out of bootcamp like it was nothing.  Her sharp mind placed her among the top of her class, and into a special bomb-squad for those units in Afghanistan.<br/><br/>Their jobs were simple, go in, find the bombs, diffuse them, and then everyone would be fine.  Their suits were made from an adamantium alloy weave that would protect them from high-caliber rounds, and even RPG's to an extent.  Mostly it'd protect them if those bombs ever went off.  They'd had a pretty flawless record until the insurgents got wise.  They tricked the squad into diffusing a dummy, and just when their guard was down another blew up right under their feet.<br/><br/>Alexandra was the closest to the disaster, right on top of the bomb.  It was a tactical nuke, meant solely for taking out their squad, which was having a devastating effect on the terrorists ability to operate.  When all was said and done Alexandra was the only one left.  There were black marks where her friends had been, Alexandra remembered everything.  She woke up stark naked, her suit gone, her friends gone, and everything within a five block radius absolutely gone.  But she, the closest to the blast, was still alive.<br/><br/>SHIELD was quick to swoop in and investigate, they even poked and prodded at Alexandra until they figured out that somehow her adamantium weave<i>fused</i>with her cells on a molecular level.  Thus leaving Alexandra quite invincible.  Still only a few months after her eighteenth birthday, Alexandra found herself being trained as a SHIELD soldier, then a special agent.  Her skin had become impenetrable, her muscles unrippable, and her bones unbreakable.  Even without the abilities that SHIELD was about to bestow upon her, Alexandra had become quite a force to be reckoned with.<br/><br/>SHIELD introduced her as The Shield, a program meant to place a SHIELD operative in each city in order to protect it and give them a good name.  While most of their other operatives were male, the female The Shield made quite an impression.  Originally she had no powers, other than her ability to remain unbroken.  Bullets still hurt, as did fists and any other blunt objects, but they couldn't break her.  They couldn't even bruise her.  Giving her a suit of unstable molecules was the first step.  Her vibranium round shield was the next, and her gauntlets with mini-vibranium shields were the next.  Trained with each she's able to throw the shield with amazing accuracy and take out opponents without a problem.<br/><br/>SHIELD, despite Alexandra's flawless record as a superheroine (over about six months) didn't feel this was enough.  They used the belt and the pocket dimensions to hide machines which would contact the unstable molecules, and give Alexandra specific powers.  Super strength, flight, and super speed during flight.  With these capabilities, Alexandra would find herself to be completely unstoppable.  And while she's just starting her superheroine career, she's becoming quite popular in Freedom City quite fast.  Though she's also gaining quite a few enemies at the same time.  One of which being her corrupt father, not that she's aware of it, nor he aware that The Shield is his beloved daughter.<br/><br/><strong>Known Meta-Human Abilities</strong>:<br/><br/>Unbreakable (natural)- Alexandra's skin, bones, muscles and organs cannot be damaged.  This is not to say she can't be hurt, but nothing is going to break<br/>Flight (belt)- Through the combined technology of her belt and The Shield costume, she is able to achieve flight, and even hover.<br/>Super Strength (belt)-The belt, or rather a pocket dimension holding technology, gives her enough strength to not only lift, but throw 10 tons for three blocks.  Dead lifts above her head limit out around 40 tons, and bench press at about 25. Luckily she's learned how to pull her punches.<br/>Super Speed when Flying (belt)- In addition to flying, The Shield can do so up to 200mph.<br/><br/><strong>Particularities, Limitations, and Weaknesses</strong>:<br/><br/>Belt-As one might guess, her belt is a huge weakness.  It's held to her body (in a nice form-fitting way) by a simple zipper in back.  While the zipper is vibranium, and held closed with a latch.  If someone figures it out to remove the latch, unzip, and remove the belt, The Shield will lose all but her natural powers.<br/>Stomach- Given the make-up of the belt, it's not a big deal unless her belt is removed.  However Alexandra has a particular stomach fetish, trailing fingers will turn her on, as will kicks or punches.<br/>Crotch-Similar to her stomach, trailing fingers, fists, or feet might turn her on, wind her, or knock the fight out of her.  It's mostly effective when she doesn't have super strength. Otherwise it'll hurt, but not enough to remove her from the fight.<br/>Blunt Force- Fists and baseball bats do more damage than bullets in her case.  Especially across her cranium, they'll hurt for longer periods of time than a sharp object (though sharp objects do hurt more immediately).  In a fight these are a great way to wear her down.  Or in a tight spot, throw her in front of a speeding bus, train, or Mack truck.  All will knock her out instantly even with that special belt on.  So will super powered fists or large caliber weapons.<br/>Poisons- Possibly her greatest weakness.  No matter what, she's still got to breathe.  A simple rag of chloroform will put her out just like any normal human.  Or tear gas, or any kind of gas.  Goop and other topical poisons that soak in through the skin are also highly effective, and of course anything that has to be digested will work.  The only things that don't work, obviously, are injections...simply because nothing can penetrate her skin.<br/>Naive- While smart and cunning, Alex can be a little naive at times.  She can think of what to do, and even execute, but sometimes the world isn't as black and white as she'd like it to be.  And as of yet, few people have tried sneaking up on her, or luring her into traps, so she has  no experience with such things.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Equipment, Weapons and Paraphernalia</strong>:<br/><br/>Belt- Her red and white striped belt holds multiple pocket dimensions.  She most often uses these to get her riot-gear zip ties to tie up and arrest criminals and/or villains.  The belt, though, also produces the energy required to make her other abilities be absorbed by the unstable molecules.<br/>Suit- Her suit is made up of unstable molecules.  It takes on the same abilities as her skin and body, but also those abilities that the belt produces.<br/>Gloves- Her gloves are quipped with mini-shield shooters.  These are vibranium in make, and she can shoot four off without having to reload.  Each glove has two mini-discs for firing.<br/>Shield-Her shield is a vibranium/adamantium alloy which is light enough to carry and throw for a normal person, but with her super strength it makes it a very long-range weapon.  This shield also bounces off of other objects and with a calculated path (done by Alexandra in her head) can be thrown in a tight space to take out numerous badguys.  Naturally, it also acts as a shield for The Shield.  Giving her a reprieve from blunt force objects.  As of yet, it has  not been stolen from her.  If it were, it might be used against her.<br/><br/><strong>Skills, Talents, Hobbies, and Abilities</strong>:<br/><br/>Expert Martial Artist-Since the tend age of three, she's been learning to take care of herself with her mom as a teacher.  She's quite adept at taking out the badguys even without powers other than being unbreakable, after all that's what she did for the first six-months as The Shield.<br/>Marksman-SHIELD has given her a crash course in how to use her weapons, the mini-shields and her shield for throwing, but her father taught her how to use a pistol at an early age.  This gives her exceptional abilities both inside and outside of her costume.<br/>Smart-In a high-IQ sort of way.  Probably a genius level, and it makes things extremely easy for Alexandra to learn and execute.  Hence to why she's so young but such a top-level superheroine.<br/>Natural Leader-With the ability to analyze a situation, Alex is able to figure out who would be best where.  This hasn't come into play yet, but is likely to come out if she's forced to work with other individuals.<br/><br/><strong>Physical Information</strong>:<br/><strong>Ethnic Group</strong>: Caucasian<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Female<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Lesbian<br/><strong>Age</strong>: 19 (4-July-1989)<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 11""<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 165 lbs.<br/><strong>Hair Colour</strong>: Natural Blonde, hangs to her butt.<br/><strong>Eye Colour</strong>: bright blue<br/><strong>Physical Appearance</strong>: Alexandra is an extremely attractive looking 19 yr old Caucasian girl in excellent physical condition for a girl her age, height and build who engages in extreme regular exercise on a daily basis.  As such she's extremely fit and is well proportioned, with all the right feminine curves, including a bubble-butt that might make a black girl jealous.<br/><strong>Distinguishing Characteristics</strong>: none<br/><strong>Normal Attire</strong>:<br/><br/><em>Work:</em>A nice, normally dark brown, pants suit.  It fits to her legs though doesn't look ridiculous in either direction.  Normally a light brown or white blouse, and a matching (to her pants) business jacket with two buttons fastened.  Her hair is commonly up in a tight bun when she's working as well.  Not to mention the heels, normally boots that stretch up the length of her calf.<br/><br/><em>Casual:</em>There really are two different kinds of casual.  The ""lounging around at home"" casual, and then there's the ""any other place"" casual.  While lounging at home, Alexandria can be caught in anything from a robe, to pajama pants (or shorts) and a simple tank top.  Any other place she's at, or going to, and is still casual, she'll be caught wearing form-fitting jeans and some kind of form-fitting top.  Though generally long- or short-sleeved t-shirts in one variety or another.<br/><br/><em>Date Night:</em>Date nights that are more than casual, find her often in a nice, long dress of some sorts.  She likes silk, and figuring hugging, as well as sequented dresses.  Backless is also a good form as well.<br/><br/><em>Clubbing:</em>She has leather for these nights.  Short skirts are alright, but she practically has to be begged to wear them.  Otherwise she has an assortment of colors of skin-tight leather pants and backless shirts, or other stylish tops to go with it.  Heeled boots are always a good fashion to go along with her choice.  Though whether tall or low heels largely depends on her company.<br/><br/><strong>Costume Description</strong>:Her costume, referenced above, is a solid blue bodysuit that appears to be spandex.  It's actually made of unstable molecules (explained below).  There's a red and white striped belt that covers her abdominal region completely and fits to her body quite well.  It zips up in the back, and isn't obvious, but isn't hidden either. She has knee-high, thick-soled, red boots, and matching red gloves.  Her sleeves are white and there's a big white star embroidered on her chest.  Her mask is attached to the rest of the suit and pulls over the top of her head, having a hole in back for her hair to hang out of it...<br/><strong>Quote</strong>(s): ""There's only two ways out of this situation. Through me, or through her (in reference to DarkDevil).""<br/>""Sure! I'll make a deal, why don't you put those things back where you got them, and I'll let you walk to jail on under your own free will.""<br/><br/><br/><strong><em>The Shield</em> (Alexandra Powers)</strong>:<br/><strong>Saves</strong>: Toughness +6, Fort +6, Ref +5, Will +6<br/><strong>Abilities</strong>: Str 29/14, Dex 18, Con 18, Int 18, Wis 16, Cha 20<br/><strong>Combat</strong>: Attack +8, Damage +7 wrist-shooters, +10 area shield, +12 shield or unarmed, Defense +14 (+5 flat-footed), Grapple +24, Knockback -4, Initiative +8<br/><strong>Skills</strong>: Acrobatics 4 (+8), Bluff 1 (+5), Diplomacy 4 (+9), Disable Device 6 (+10), Escape Artist 4 (+8), Gather Information 4 (+9), Intimidate 4 (+9), Investigate 4 (+8), Knowledge (streetwise) 1 (+5), Knowledge (tactics) 4 (+8), Language (standard Arabic), Medicine 4 (+7), Notice 7 (+10), Search 7 (+10), Sense Motive 4 (+7), Survival 2 (+5), Swim 3 (+12/+5)<br/><strong>Languages</strong>: English (native), Standard Arabic<br/><strong>Feats</strong>: Attractive, Benefit (security clearance), Endurance, Improved Disarm, Interpose, Improved Initiative, Precise Shot, Quick Change, Takedown Attack<br/><strong>Powers</strong>:<strong>Device 3</strong>(belt (hard to lose ),<strong>Enhanced Strength 15</strong>),<em>Alternate Powers</em>:<strong>Flight 5</strong>(250 mph),<strong>Protection 2</strong>(<em>Extras</em>: Impervious),<strong>Super-Strength 5</strong>(heavy load 22 tons);<strong>Device 2</strong>shield (easy to lose),<strong>Blast 3</strong>(<em>Power Feats</em>: Mighty),<em>Alternate Powers</em>:<strong>Strike 3</strong>(<em>Power Feats</em>: Mighty),<strong>Shield 3</strong>;<strong>Device 3</strong>gauntlets (hard to lose),<strong>Blast 7</strong>,<em>Alternate Powers</em>:<strong>Strike 3</strong>(<em>Power Feats</em>: Mighty);<strong>Immunity 20</strong>(lethal damage;<em>Flaws</em>: lethal damage deals nonlethal damage instead to the Shield.)<br/><strong>Drawbacks</strong>: Weak Point (<strong>Protection</strong>)<br/><br/><br/><div align=""center"">(http://home.earthlink.net/~addshards/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/defeated_shield.jpg)</div>"

Having refused her Father's demands that she participate in the 'family business', which effectively meant she'd be whored out as favors from her father, little Ayako earned the enmity of not only her father, but the man who'd sought to effectively 'purchase' her from her father. Given her rare beauty, Ayako was viewed as a commodity by her father, and not as a daughter.<br/><br/>What her father never knew was how his delicate little daughter discovered his plans for her. She'd kept a secret from him for years, constantly confounding her mother and other caretakers by being one-step ahead of them. Little Ayako could read minds.<br/><br/>In his rage that he could not have the slender maiden, her 'suitor' assaulted Ayako, nearly caving in her larynx, which has left her mute. After her assault and subsequent rape had ended, Ayako's anger drew her to focusing her telepathy to an extent she'd never attempted before, causing her assailant to crash back into a wall. She drew back a fist to strike the man, and in her fury, a blade of pure psychic force formed, with which she ended up killing the man. Unfortunately, the psychic blade struck through the man, and into the wall behind him, buring itself in an electrical cable, powerfully shocking the young woman. Since then, she has felt uneasy, even pain, when coming near a power transformer or an electrical power station.<br/><br/>Still dazed from the painful shock and fleeing Japan, little Ayako finds herself in Freedom City, leaving behind a corpse and no evidence, her father's Yakuza family seeking her demise, but their reach does not extend that far. Little Ayako has since learned to use her telepathy to speak with others, if she feels she can fool their senses into thinking they are actually hearing her speak, instead of 'hearing' it just in their head.<br/><br/>Since she is effectively in hiding, the small woman has been wandering Freedom City, homeless and alone. She is quite adept at hiding, even in plain sight. Ever the gymnast as a girl, she's proven capable of defending herself through misdirection and merely preventing any attackers from making contact with her. She'd been trained extensively, in addition to her gymnastics; in various forms of self-defense, as her father was a prominent businessman, and she could have been targeted to get to him.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities/Powers:</strong><br/>Shade manifests a psi-blade which she can use to produce a variety of effects, from a Mental Blast to a Stun to purely physical Strike that can cut through nearly any barrier.<br/><br/>Though her preferred style of combat is to wade right into melee, Shade has several tricks she can pull off with her Telekinesis, including Blast. More rarely, she can use telekinetic flight and shields, and these are relegated to power stunt status.<br/><br/>Shade is a strong telepath, able to see another's thoughts, project into other's heads, and even trick one's senses into thinking they can 'hear' her speaking when she projects directly into their minds.<br/><br/>As a result of her potent telepathic powers, Shade is immune to alteration effects, such as reality-altering powers, and to mental effects.<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong><br/><br/>Petite and slender, the 5'2"" tall Tanaka Ayako was once of dark hair and eyes, bearing a seemingly regal demeanor and encased in ceramic-white skin pale enough to pass as an ancient Greek sculpture. Since going into hiding in Freedom City, Ayako has used the money she took from her father as she fled to change certain parts of her appearance. She ended up being paid to undertake a cosmetic experiment, to change anything from her hair color, eye color, and/or skin color; at a prominent Freedom City University's DNA research laboratory. She went ahead and had her dark brown eyes genetically recolored a shade of violet, her hair changed to a dark purple... so dark it was almost black. She chose to keep her prized pale ceramic skin, it and her almondine eyes being the only telltale clues that she was of Eastern Asian descent.<br/>"

(mother, ???); Jack Murdock, boxer (paternal grandfather, deceased); Sister Maggie Murdock, nun (paternal grandmother, 73).<br/><strong>Current Base of Operations</strong>: Freedom City, Maryland, USA<br/><strong>Extent of Education</strong>: Law Student, Bachelors of Criminal Justice<br/><strong>Religion</strong>: Catholic (semi-practicing)<br/><strong>Group Affiliation</strong>: The Liberators (Modern Age)<br/><strong><br/>Background Information/Origin</strong>: Born daughter to one of the greatest superheroes of an age to an unknown mother, Karen was, unexpectedly, born blind, despite her father's sight not being a genetic defect, but, rather, a result of the same accident which gave him his powers. To put her at even more of a disadvantage, unlike her father, whose other senses were enhanced to superhuman levels, Karen's were merely exceptional. Still, raised by a loving and understanding (if sometimes demanding and overprotective) single father (her mother was never mentioned by her father, and she never worked up the courage to ask him), Karen grew up to be an exceptional young lady, intelligent, driven, and possessed of a strong sense of justice.<br/><br/>Then, on her eighteenth birthday, something miraculous happened-- she became able to see. And, more than that, she gained powers of her own. Though learning to live with sight was disorienting at she soon began training to take up her father's mantle as defender of the innocent and oppressed.<br/><br/>However, just one year after beginning her training and gaining her powers, Karen lost something even more important than her sight: with no warning, her father suddenly and mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Hard as she and his old friends tried to find him, nothing was found.<br/><br/>Burying herself in work, Karen furiously pushed herself to her limits to finish her training as quickly as possible under the tutelage of some of her father's oldest and best friends in the superhero community until finally, after another year of training, she was deemed ready and worthy to don the colors of her father to fight crime.<br/><br/>For the next four years, Karen was a student in pre-law by day, and the masked vigilante Darkdevil by night, cleaning up the crime-ridden section of Manhattan known as Hell's Kitchen. Though they grew bold and lazy in the year-long absence of any masked hero in their turf, the criminals of Hell's Kitchen quickly learned to fear the formidable young heroine, who proved herself worthy of the title ""The Woman Without Fear"".<br/><br/>However, recently, hearing rumors that old enemies of her father might have connections in Freedom City, and still hoping to find him, or at least discover what happened to him, Karen has come to Freedom City as a student at the prestigious local law school, bringing her own methods and tactics, honed in the dark back-alleys of Hell’s Kitchen, to Freedom City.<br/><br/><strong>Known Meta-Human Abilities</strong>:<br/>-<em>Evil eye</em>: This power of Darkdevil’s is perhaps the one that has earned her the most infamy among her enemies in Hell’s Kitchen, though word of it has yet to reach Freedom City. Around her, things simply seem to go wrong for villains. Guns jamb. Shots go wild. Legs get tangled and cause cowards to fall when they flee. Some call it superstition. But others suspect the truth: Darkdevil is able to inflict bad luck on her opponents with but a glance.<br/><br/><strong>Particularities, Limitations, and Weaknesses</strong>:<br/>-<em>Evil Eye</em>: Though even in her time in Hell’s Kitchen the criminal underworld didn’t figure out her limitations, her evil eye does have a weakness: Unless her opponents can see her, she cannot use her power on them.<br/>-<em>Sensitive</em>: Just as her father before her was sensitive to sonic-based attacks and loud sounds, so, too, are Karen’s exceptionally acute senses sometimes a weakness for her, making it easy for attacks against her senses, particularly sight and touch, to overwhelm her.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment, Weapons and Paraphernalia</strong>: Darkdevil wears a costume much like her father's, though obviously tailored to her more... feminine physique. The majority of the suit is a dark, blood red, while the gloves, boots-- the heels of which add about another inch to her height--, sash, and interlocking DD on her chest are all black. The back of her cowl lets out her dark hair. The suit itself is made of a material not unlike that used by some of her father's colleagues and is extremely resilient.<br/><br/>Her weapon of choice is a billy club, much like that wielded by her father. This multi-purpose weapon can extend to form a quarterstaff, and can also be split into two parts and used like nunchaku. Finally, it can also be used as a thrown weapon. Additionally, within it, the billy club contains thirty feet of aircraft control cable connected to a case-hardened steel grapnel. Internal mechanisms allow the cable to be neatly wound and unwound, while a powerful spring launches the grapnel.<br/><br/><strong>Skills, Talents, Hobbies, and Abilities</strong>: Being a law student is time consuming. Being a law student and a costumed vigilante is even moreso. As such, Karen doesn’t have much time for hobbies what free time she does have she spends training and studying, only rarely going out on dates or to social events. However, her training does make her an extremely skilled acrobat and martial artist. Furthermore, due to the acuity of her senses, she’s quick to pick up details, both about objects and body language.  Finally, due to her studies to become a lawyer, she has a fair grip on the nuances of the legal system, though she is far from being as knowledgeable about it as her father was.<br/><br/><strong>Physical Information</strong>:<br/><strong>Ethnic Group</strong>: Irish/???<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Female<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Bisexual (2 on the Kinsey Scale)<br/><strong>Age</strong>: 24 (6/23/1985)<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 07""<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 143 lbs.<br/><strong>Hair Color</strong>: Brunette<br/><strong>Eye Color</strong>: Hazel<br/><strong>Physical Appearance</strong>: Karen Murdock is an attractive looking 24 yr old female of mixed descent in excellent physical condition for a girl her age, height and build who engages in rigorous regular exercise on a daily basis.<br/><strong>Distinguishing Characteristics</strong>: Karen is a beautiful young woman of mixed ancestry that makes it hard to distinguish exactly what she’s comprised of. Regardless, she is very attractive, her curvy body and long dancer’s legs only made more attractive by her athletic build. Her skin is bronzed, and her hair brunette with chestnut highlights. Typically, when going to class or interviews she’ll wear it in a bun, but when in casual situations, she likes to experiment with it, often trying out various hairstyles. For utility, however, her hair is always pulled back into a ponytail when she assumes her Darkdevil persona.<br/><strong>Normal Attire</strong>: Typically when attending classes, Karen prefers to at least appear semi-professional, wearing button-down shirts, suit pants, and vests. In her free time, however, due to her tactile sensitivity, she prefers minimal clothing, often wearing short-shorts or mini-skirts along with T-shirts, and, if she isn’t going to be meeting anyone, is just as likely to go without undergarments as with. However, in the colder months, it should be noted, she tends to try to bundle up considerably more, often wearing multiple layers to keep out the cold. On the rare occasions when she goes clubbing, she tends to prefer single-piece dresses with the skirt going down to about the knee, or a little higher.<br/><strong>Costume Description</strong>: Darkdevil wears a costume much like her father's, though obviously tailored to her more... feminine physique. The majority of the suit is a dark, blood red, while the gloves, boots-- the heels of which add about another inch to her height--, sash, and interlocking DD on her chest are all black.

Even in the heart of degradation, his grasp closes so tightly, too tightly, that it is inevitable that matters squeeze out and slip through his fingers. So it has been with the embodied thoughts and soul shards of the Alphian gods he laid low in his rise to power. Their final defiance taking form as the shining Furion race, ever keeping ahead of his influence, ever striking at his forces, his plots, ever an itch he cannot scratch become as a maddening goad.  But the Omega is not without fell cunning, and where he cannot strike at the body, he strikes at spirit. Knowing the genesis of his enemies, he traveled out across the surface of his capital world, forces in tow, travelling until he reached one of the nobler and heroic gods whose skin he had stretched out to cover his planet. The proper goads awoke a trapped and maddened mind long enough to will into being another warrior born of divine essence and desperation to join the battle against Omega. Unfortunately, the tyrant being on hand for this birth, let him claim it for his own.<br/><br/>The boy was raised and trained amongst the more warped of an army of nihilists, indoctrinated and forged to be Omega's hound and hunter, his wolf of battle, forcing him to fight constantly for his survival from one day to the next, honing him in skill and fury. He practically lived in the city spanning gladiator pits, his gory exploits within broadcast across the Terminus, the mad joy in his eyes as he tore men apart with his bare hands projected all the way to the Furion homeworld, that they might know what had become of one of their own.  As the youth grew, he 'graduated' to taking part in the planet spanning proxy wars Omega's lieutenants waged for their own spite and amusement. His howls amidst the drones and soldiers he rent apart seemed ecstatic. He was the delight of the Omega's followers, for a certain way of using the word, his mastery of brutality a sight to see, a peerless killer who could be relied on for bloody and thrilling display whether with weapons, from stealth appropriate to a predatory animal, or the power in his own hands. He had place of pride in Omega's degenerate court, a prominent standing amidst the destroyers and corrupters of worlds. What he had of his progenitor's grace was wild and feral, the wolf's loping pace that was a measure of waiting until a throat was exposed. He was a living proclamation from the depths of incarnated Armageddon that there was nothing that could not be turned to the Omega's purpose, nothing was beyond the reach of entropy.<br/><br/>The young man did all the things a monster should, he soon became an enforcer out among the subject worlds of the Terminus. Taking tribute, putting down rebellion, making examples just for the sake of them. Omega even included him in the strike forces sent out against the furions themselves, that they might see the bright purity of their passions mirrored in the darkly satisfied clarity of his. Nothing so trite happened as a miraculous battlefield conversion on seeing his own kind face to face. Omega had made his creature too well for that. They were just one more thing his wolf took an ebon joy in the challenge of destroying.<br/><br/>No, the problem came of that Omega /had/ done his work too well. Unlike many in his service, who wrapped themselves in spite, in vengeance, in personal agendas, in delusional worldviews, in secret ambitions, in past traumas, Omega's wolf was pure. He served, to serve. He killed, to kill. No hidden purpose behind it all, no inner rationalization to have lead him down his path. He embraced totally the teachings of his master in full awareness, his love of bloodshed coming from conflict being one of the only places where he could fully embody himself in them, for to have anything less than thought, instinct and tactic as one, would be to fall. He held his lord's truths as tightly as his lord sought to hold existence itself. If he had paid closer attention, he might have realized what the inevitable result would be of so doing. There is only one real truth to nihilism. That when the rush of the cruelties and barbarism have slipped away, when the thrill of indulgence is moved past, there is.. nothing. Absolutely nothing. You cannot have satisfaction in nothing, that would be something, and there is no room for it. The goal of emptiness, is emptiness. And whatever joys that might have been had until then become hollow things, tumbling endlessly into a void. It made so much sense now, the derangements of the others. Their spites and cruelties, traumas and ambitions. They were a shield against this understanding, this realization. They could keep whatever pleasure they took in nightmares. They did not see. They did not know. But he was enlightened now, and he could not go back.<br/><br/>And he wanted to go back so much. He threw himself with a fervour into everything he knew could not salve him anymore, feeling blood wash over him, but give him nothing. He traversed the entire dimension in impossible journeys, to its furthest, broken reaches, where reality folded in on itself, trying to find his old meaning, his old purity. There was a pointlessly epic scale to his desperation. But he had a new purity now, and it could not be denied.<br/><br/>He found himself in the end at the site of his birth, sinking down over the stretched out part of Nihilor's surface that was the god from which he was formed. The torment of his own thoughts reached out in sympathy to those of the agonized thoughts that had willed him into being. His emptiness served him well, for there was nothing inside him that they could consume, and like all things, they spiralled into the void, his consciousness rushing past them until he faced the core of his progenitor, his soul. And this the void would not consume, could not consume. He beheld a life so star bright that his eyes bled. In a flash of moments he lived the life of the god who made him. A towering figure who had sung suns themselves into being, nourished and defended the life that would rise up on the worlds around them. Who's song and sure hand were works of legend, woven into the life and wonder of a whole universe. There in full was the void's opposite. Pure creation, pure potential, pure hope. So fiery, fierce and powerful it had placed light, strong and blazing into the dark stretches of space. The Omega's wolf found himself feeling again, in the face of that life. Shame, for that he was the last soul shard of such greatness, and he was instead so dark and low a creature. And rage, deep and abiding, for his master having taken such a force away from the world, away from the people who without that hope, that creation, could only be destined for his own emptiness. He wept then, in awe, in shame, in sorrow, in fury. He cried out, begging for a chance to make things right, to be his maker's last hope.<br/><br/>The consciousness that the Omega had roused through torment, was drawn out now instead by an earnest plea for hope that the Alphian had not felt in eons. Turning what could be brought to bear of his shattered might onto the young warrior, he remade him as if the boy was one of the stars the Alphian had birthed, imbuing him with light and song, transforming his strengths from the atomic level on up. When the flare of some of the only real sunlight the Terminus dimension had seen in ages ended, the warrior was reborn. Calling himself the Starfury in a dedication of purpose, the young man took up waging the guerrilla war that was his race's purpose against the Omega. Wielding light, song, and force, passionate rage, and most dangerously, fierce hope, he was now instead an embodied proclamation that /anything/ could be turned from entropy. His joys were wild and pure again, but invigorating now, instead of degenerate. There was a satisfaction for him in conflict again, in knowing the rightness of it, of himself. His gratitude to existence itself for gracing him with this chance ran deep. The sorrows of his past, and of the Terminus itself could overtake him now again, and his brooding would then be driving and bleak, but inevitably he would shake it off, and return again to a nobler battle, to a valiant defence. It was however a war he waged largely alone. He could not quite bring himself to dwell among his kin and their shining world. His embarrassment still held too much to him.<br/><br/>It did allow for him to be nearby when the portals were opened on Nihilor for the Omega's latest invasion of Earth's dimension. To make his way through them and be among those fighting for their very survival, for the life of a world under one of the very stars his maker had brought into being. He fought as fiercely as any, and beheld the miracle of the Omega's defeat and withdrawal. That the price was dear did not change for him the sheer unheralded marvel of it. Here was a world, a people, champions, that might at last be rallied to face down the lord of the Terminus. They must be protected until they can rise in warlike spirit and as a blazing host make true that promise. He would do anything for them until that day can come. He /will/ do anything for them until that day can come. For their lives, for their souls.<br/><br/>Not that being a superhero of earth has been exactly a seamless transition. Starfury comes from a completely different dimension, one of stark war, where such life as can exist within it, must exist on a large and bombastic scale just to be vigorous enough to survive. He can be too larger than life, sometimes, in his passions. His sensibilities besides are that of a warrior, and they don't quite work all the time in terms of how the societies here govern their social contracts (which he finds aggravating now and then).<br/><br/>On the other hand, he's discovered rock and roll, as though it was specifically made for him, so perfectly has he taken to it with his own song. How can't he try his best for Earth? They invented the electric guitar.<br/><br/>Known Meta-Human Abilities: Starfury's body has been altered from its original state, though he still bears a great deal of the resilience and physical capacity of his race. He is known to have a developed control over light, able to generate wide flares of it for both illumination and blinding bursts, capable of focusing it into damaging blasts, channelling pulses of it into his hand to hand strikes to enhance them and land blows in a flurry. His flight speed has been clocked at 250 miles/hour. The extent of his durability shown so far has seen him shrugging off small arms fire, and his frequency of activity suggests an ability to go without sleep, food or air. His senses seem to be enhanced to some degree, able to see and hear farther than a normal human being, operating normally within total darkness.<br/><br/>Particularities, Limitations, and Weaknesses: While strong well beyond the norm by human standards, his transformation has removed much of the innate superstrength of his people.<br/><br/>Equipment, Weapons and Paraphernalia:<br/><br/>Skills, Talents, Hobbies, and Abilities: Starfury retains a great deal of the capacity developed from his upbringing in Nihilor's gladiator pits, and his role as Omega's hunter and enforcer. He is still a skilled and insightful combatant and tracker, a canny, quick and acrobatic fighter and stalker, though he has had to spend some time acclimating those abilities to what is almost an entirely new body. His youth in Omega's court and training at the feet of his lieutenants, along with the legacy of his blood, and the soul and memory echoes of his Alphian progenitor have refined him in mind and body, giving him a breadth of basic knowledge and capacity across a variety of fields. That his soul blazes shows in his sheer force of personality, and in his captivating talent as a musician, even if it's all power chords and bombast. Aside from his music, his spiritual rebirth has let him revel in combat again, sparring or otherwise. His satisfaction in hunting is a much quieter thing, and personal, a time to flow through instinct and nature. He revels generally in a world that compared to the Terminus seems as a paradise, taking joy in the smallest of peaceful meals, to the most frenetically raging parties. He's something of a sensate in that respect, and when not superheroing, hunting or performing, he finds some celebration or another to involve himself in.<br/><br/>Physical Information:<br/>Ethnic Group: Furion<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual<br/>Age: 21<br/>Height: 6""5<br/>Weight: 000lbs.<br/>Hair Colour: Crimson<br/>Eye Colour: Gold<br/>Physical Appearance: Fury is a looming presence overall, tall and muscled in athletic proportion, with a burning, golden eyed gaze that can seem to bear down with the force and heat of a supernova. Though kept above his shoulders, his deeply crimson hair is tousled and thick enough to frame his face. His features have a primal, perfected quality to them, light and life evident in the gleam of a wolfish grin, a sense of fire and vitality in his bearing. When he moves, it is with power and grace twinned together, enough of his old life still with him to give his motions the measured, loping stride of a hunter, though even when still there is a pronounced pent up energy to him, almost infectious vigor.<br/>Distinguishing Characteristics: His eyes are a burnished gold, and his hair really is crimson.<br/>Normal Attire: He tends to stay in costume a lot. When not so doing, he'll dress for comfort and ease of motion, generally jeans and a t shirt.<br/>Costume Description: Starfury wears a red, high collared, side buttoning leather jacket and red trousers. The symbol over the chest of his jacket one of a golden, four pointed starburst with a gold circle cycling through the points. His costume overall is red chased with gold, with the buttons of his jacket, and his boots and gauntlets metallic in that colour. His jacket is similarly plated at the shoulders.<br/><br/>Str 20 (+5), Dex 20 (+5), Con 34 (+12), Int 20 (+5), Wis 20 (+5), Cha 20 (+5)<br/>Att: +8<br/>Def: +8 (+5 from dodge focus)<br/>Saves: Reflex +8, Fortitude +12, Will +12, Toughness +12 (+6 impervious)<br/>Skills: Acrobatics 8 (+13), Notice 6 (+11), Perform (Singing) 8 (+13), Perform (Stringed Instruments) 8 (+13), Intimidation 8 (+13), Sense Motive 6 (+11), Languages (English), Stealth 6 (+11), Survival 5 (+10)<br/>Feats: All out Attack, Power Attack, Takedown Attack 2, Dodge Focus 5, Blind Fighting, Jack of All Trades, Move By Attack 2, Attractive 2, Acrobatic Bluff, Fearless, Rage 3, Luck, Improved Init, Track, Uncanny Dodge<br/>Powers: Immunity 14 (aging, life support, starvation/thirst, sleep, visual dazzle effects),  Impervious 6 on toughness, Light Control 12 (alt powers: strike 12 (autofire 1), blast 12, Dazzle 12 (visual), Dazzle 6 (visual, burst, area)), Flight 6, Enhanced Senses 4 (Sight 1, Vision 1, Darkvision)<br/>"

Her arms are less built, relatively, but since her muscle is dense instead of big, she remains proportionate.<br/><strong>Flight:</strong>(Tech) Eagle's wings appear natural to the casual observer, but they are actually a technological marvel. They dock with ports on her back, insinuating themselves directly into her nervous system and musculature, and react as if they were indeed natural.<br/><strong>Energy Blasts:</strong>(Tech) These source from the same system that allows her anti-gravity flight, allowing her to fire bursts of energy from her hands and feet, much like Iron Man.<br/><strong>Regeneration:</strong>Better than a human's by a fair sight, but also far too slow to be helpful in battle.<br/><strong>Piercing Sight:</strong>(Science) Eagle has vision better than a raptor's, via meta-science methods.<br/><br/><strong>Particularities, Limitations, and Weaknesses:</strong><br/>Eagle is in fact fairly limited in her powers compared to other heroes - beyond strength and flight, she has nothing. Her body can only take as much damage as her high level of fitness allows. She is not outstandingly fast, but is quite agile. The super strength she does have can't compare with the more mainstream strength-based heroes. She is, in the end, squishy like a human.<br/>This fact leads her to have somewhat of an inferiority complex, and she sees herself used more as a symbol than a true hero. This leaves her vulnerable to coercion and suggestion.<br/>Eagle can be a bit scatter-brained and distractable, much like a bird.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment, Weapons and Paraphernalia:</strong><br/>Flight Suit: Provides flight and a modicum of enhanced strength, along with energy blasts. Doubles as armor, but not very good armor.<br/>Battle Mace of Unyielding Justice: Essentially part of the suit, draws power from its source, inflicting blows enhanced by the anti-grav system, providing excellent penetrative power.<br/><br/><strong>Skills, Talents, Hobbies, and Abilities:</strong><br/><strong>Killing arts:</strong>Eagle has trained in a variety of martial arts, including Krav Maga, Muay Boran, and other vicious arts. She can inflict the killing blow... but only on enemies capable of receiving a killing blow, of course.<br/><strong>Acrobatics:</strong>She is very skilled with flight, able to combine the anti-grav, thrust from her wings, and control from her limbs to perform extremely complex maneuvers.<br/><strong>Accuracy:</strong>Eagle's precise vision and endless hours of practice allow her to hit a target from hundreds of yards away without deviation.<br/><br/><strong>Physical Information: </strong><br/><strong>Ethnic Group:</strong>Irish<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Bisexual<br/><strong>Age:</strong>24<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'9""<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>140lbs.<br/><strong>Hair Colour:</strong>Red<br/><strong>Eye Colour:</strong>Blue<br/><strong>Physical Appearance:</strong>Cassidy Chulainn O'Connor is a stunning 24 year old Irish woman in excellent physical condition. Her heavy strength training threatens to distort her curves, but her mostly natural strength abilities keep that from happening - thus, she is a very healthy looking girl, in no danger of looking waifish. Her powerful legs in particular stand out, threatening to crush (pleasurably, of course) all comers. However, her muscle and smallish breasts would allow her to pass as a very beautiful boy if she so desired.<br/><strong>Distinguishing Characteristics:</strong>Her right nostril, both ears, nipples, and navel, and clitoris are all pierced with intricate Celtic hoops.

The Shield.  The girl lands on the ground and flings it again, right at Lust's head, hits her, drops the villain, turns to shoot Knockout to find her gone.  And now there are men rushing her from all sides.  As her shield returns to her again she blocks several punches with it then lashes out with a foot to catch one of the men in the jaw.  She then shoves back with her shield, knocking five men to the ground, four of them getting knocked out.  Her shield is flung again, this time, though someone catches it and it hits them in the forehead.  They're knocked out but she's left without her primary weapon.<br/><br/>As one man reaches around to grab her breasts, she grabs his arm and flips him over her shoulders the kicks him in the head.  Slowly each of the men fall as she throws powerful, yet controlled punches and kicks into each of them.  Once she's done, the last man falls after a swift punch to this nose and he just sort of collapses.  The tall heroine then bends down and takes zip ties from her belt, carefully tying up each man in a hog tie, and that one woman.  Though she's still keeping an eye out for Knockout, she hasn't seen the woman, and after another half hour of tying the men, and Lust up, she's all but forgot about the woman.  ""Not a bad days--MMRRRMMPH!"" Where did she come from?!  The Shield gasps as she's clutched in the woman's hands, a white-gloved hand covering her mouth and nose and pumping chloroform into The Shield's lungs while the other plays with one of The Shield's large breasts.  She flies backward, on instinct and slams Knockout into the wall then flips her over The Shield's shoulders.<br/><br/>With her head swimming, Alex has to make this quick, and leans over Knockout, then straddles her, and then gets a face full of aphrodisiac gasses.  The Shield groans in protest as she feels her crotch and breasts flare up in the heat of the moment.  Her brain fogging over with thoughts of lust and sleepiness.  And soon, as Knockout tips the heroine over onto the cold concrete, she feels that concrete beneath one cheek.  ""Oh, baby doll, blue spandex on a round bubble butt!"" The villainess laughs in her victory then kneels over The Shield.  ""Mmm, I bet I know what you like, you little minx."" She grins spanking the heroine twice, watching the ass jiggle before dipping a hand between her thighs and rubbing softly.<br/><br/>""Nnngh.  What did you do...unnngh, to me..."" The Shield groans softly as she's flipped onto her back and Knockout starts to massage her breasts, tweaking her nipples through the second-skin suit.  ""Stop it..."" She moans again hardly able to think her way out of this.  She does still have that one mini disc left if she can just aim it, and hit her molester in the head.  But it's so hard, she's good at this, probably forced orgasms out of heroines before The Shield.  She's not supposed to enjoy this, but damn, those aphrodisiacs are killing her ability to resist.<br/><br/>Knockout runs her fingers along Alex's slit through her costume.  Giving the heroine a nice good rub, even dipping into her once or twice as the material allows.  Mostly, though, K.O. just concentrates on the pathetic heroine's voice.  ""Aww, what happened to you? Did mean Ms. Knockout take you down?  Yes she did, oh yes.  And now she's having her way with your hot body."" Of course, the bombshell of a villain is so caught up in taunting her new-found prey that she doesn't even notice The Shield's arm rising.  ""Maybe you'd like to be smother in my breasts? Hmm? You'd like that wouldn't--"" Thunk!  The mini disc hits Knockout in the side of the head and she slumps forward, nose and mouth buried in The Shield's large breasts.<br/><br/>Alex grunts, removing that hand from her crotch and then gets up.  She quickly ties Knockout up and then stands.  She takes several slow, deep breaths to right herself again, that fire in her most sensitive areas not letting up though.  She grunts and leaves the warehouse, calling the cops for a pick up and telling them she'll give a statement later on.  Right now she feels like flying home to where she can get at her vibrator.  Now here's for hoping she doesn't run afoul of a rapist or something on the way home..."

I examined them quickly and it appeared they were queer texts of some kind, copies surely, but describing unspeakable acts.

they saw a car or a plane.  Maybe their local lord or a wealthy tech priest owns one.  But they get around on foot or by cart horse, or carriage if they're well to do.)<br/><br/>Her family are jengluers in the French, jugglers, acrobats, sword swallowers, and fire eaters.  The women of the carnival are also expected to 'entertain' well paying customers from maturity 'til their looks start to slide, then they can marry other carny folk and settle down.<br/><br/>Well, Devi got a few years reprieve from the wench duty on account of being such a talented acrobat and on account of being so beautiful that they figured her virginity would go for a fairly good price.<br/><br/>Well, when she was sixteen, ripe, gorgeous, and remarkably buxom for an acrobat, the carny owners started talking about where they'd find a man rich enough to be her first client before the naturally friendly and sensual girl did something stupid and got herself ravished, or even more stupid and ran off with a dashing young man.<br/><br/>When a richly dressed and armored man, an off worlder by his accent and the technology he and his retinue were carting around, showed up at the show, while there were some nerves about what he was doing in these parts, they weren't about to miss the opportunity, and put on a good and subtle show that the rich man, being Inquisitor Wolf out of dress uniform, saw right through, but was amused to go along with.<br/><br/>Effectively, the show's owner and higher ups played a bit sterner and crueler than they actually were when in sight of the young women, while escorting him to the performance, in which the young woman had been instructed to wear a rather skimpier and more expensive outfit than usual.<br/><br/>She was comely, and the inquisitors eye did linger over her, for by now he was fairly certain that he was only here because the men in the last town had shifted the blame to relatively innocent carney folk, as townsfolk were want to do, and he could amuse himself and return in the morning to give the liars a painful lesson in the error of their ways.<br/><br/>The owner idily mentioned that the young acrobats first night in a gentleman's bed was negotiable, but that his wife handled such things.<br/><br/>After the show, two other acrobats, the girls father and mother approached the inquisitor at seperate times, playing their assigned rolls with sincerity, praying that their daughter might find a truly gentle man for her first lover, rather than the hard handed and cruel lords of the next province.<br/><br/>For whatever reason, it pleased the inquisitor to pay the show's owner the pittance that he believed was a fantastic sum for the girl's virginity, and then enjoy the night introducing her to the ways of womanhood in a mutually remarkable night.<br/><br/>The men the inquisitor was after desceneded upon the show that night while the inquisitor was fatigued from his pleasures.<br/><br/>There was some fighting, many cultists and mutants died, but the inquisitors men fled or were captured, and the inquisitor and the girl they found him with were taken to the heretic lord's castle.<br/><br/>The heretic lord, a mutant with two members, and his two henchgirls, took the carny girl too the prison in the dungeons where the Inquisitor was in chains and tormented him first by molesting and ravishing the girl he'd been so tender with, then the two henchgirls with their beautiful and profane bodies had their way with him while whispering dark scriptures into his ears.  The dark lord sat in a large chair and watched, amused, while still having his way with the carny girl who squeeled and whimpered and cried as her vessel flowed uncontrollably.<br/><br/>When at last they'd tired, the girl was taken up to the Dark Lord's harem and left in a chamber, bound in hemp ropes, while the dark lord and his strongest knights road out to hunt down the Inquisitors remaining acolytes.<br/><br/>After some sobbing, and some sleep, and a great many prayers to the emperor, Devi found the strength to do what only she could.  In the darkness of the night, she slipped her bonds one by one, then moved slowly through the castle, first with kitchen knives, and then with stolen daggers, she assassinated the arms men and devoted heretics 'til she reached the dungeon with keys.  She released the inquisitor, knelt, and presented him with his sword, guns, and armor.  ""Inquisitor Wolfe.  Last night, i gave you my innocence, and you taught me love.  This night I have spilled the blood of 13 heretics to set you free.  Seeing your beautiful face again, you have taught me the meaning of righteousness.  I humbly ask this boon.  Make me your assassin.""<br/><br/>So he did.[/i]<br/></tt>"

It was cold, again. And she was homeless, again.<br/><br/>Huddling under a blanket for warmth, she tried to doze off in the doorway, the service entrance of a bankrupted old Theater, slated to be torn down sometime soon. Ayako wished she could get inside and out of this wind.<br/><br/>Rest would come hard to little Ayako, as she was jerked out of her silent reverie by a scream. It was probably just over drugs or something, and Aya didn't want to get involved in any of that business. And yet... the cry was a woman's, and was a sound of pure terror.<br/><br/>She could not let it continue. It wasn't like she'd get any sleep if the woman screamed any more. Slowly rising up from under the blanket, the dark clad girl slowly crept towards the sound, coming from the alley to the side of the theater.<br/><br/>Silently approaching, she stopped at the corner and inched around, trying to peer into the dimly lit corridor between buildings. A young woman, a teen it looked, was being driven painfully into the wall as a dirty man in old faded denim pushed his hips powerfully betwixt the crying girl's legs.<br/><br/>Fully knowing what was happening, and feeling rage boiling within her, she slipped around silently, the man too intent on his carnal prize to notice a shadow.<br/><br/>The man groaned as he rammed into the poor girl, seemingly close to his release. His dirty, long hair flailing about behind him as he rutted ruthlessly into the sobbing girl. Until he was suddenly jerked back by that very same long hair.<br/><br/>Dropping the girl, he spun around to face whomever pulled on his hair, and yet no one was there.<br/><br/>Shaking his head, figuring it was just his imagination, he turned back to his prize, the cute little co-ed he'd picked up at the mall.<br/><br/>Drawing back, he thrust powerfully back into the girl, drawing forth another pained gasp and wringing more tears from her bright blue eyes. Oh man, he was gonna....<br/><br/>""Step away from her, right now,"" he heard. He looked to each side, not seeing anyone. Dropping the girl to the refuse-strewn ground, he spun about. Somehow, even with his keen hearing, he couldn't figure out which direction the voice had come from.<br/><br/>""Must be me imagination,"" he grunted, turning back to his victim. As he did, he started back, jumping in shock as he nearly ran over a small woman, suddenly standing where no one had been just a second earlier.<br/><br/>""I said,"" the small woman spoke again, the man able to see the gentle sloping angle of her eyes, seeing that she was Asian of some sort. ""I said to step away from her. Not drop her then go back to it. You can give up now and surrender, or we can do this the hard, painful way.""<br/><br/>""Fuuuuuck you, Bitch!"" the man growled. ""How about you take them pants off and get on yer knees, and finish me off.... else you can join this bitch under me.""<br/><br/>The girl frowned, and sighed,""Can't say I didn't give you a choice now. Fine, have it your way.""<br/><br/>With blinding speed, the girl struck out with a backhanded slap, barely able to reach the man's face due to her diminutive height and his impressive size. Nevertheless, her hand connected with his face and Ayako channeled a healthy dose of her kinetic power into the blow, launching him into the wall behind him, a good five feet back.<br/><br/>He staggered a few moments, then fell to the ground, unconscious. Ayako briefly touched over his thoughts, making sure he wasn't faking. Smiling, as he was truly knocked out, she knelt down and checked his pulse and breathing. Finding both within the norm, she straightened back up, and knelt next to the poor Co Ed, shivering with torn clothes hanging loosely from her ravished frame, arms huddled around her for warmth. Touching her shoulder, Ayako frowned, ""Do you have a phone, honey?""<br/><br/>The woman nodded, reaching for her purse, which she'd somehow kept a hold of throughout her ordeal. Handing it to the little Asian woman, ""It... it's in there, somewhere.""<br/><br/>Aya reached into the purse and her hand almost immediately closed around a cellular phone. Withdrawing it, she dialed 911.<br/><br/>""911 emergency, can I get your name and address?""<br/><br/>""I'm in the alley between the old Regency theater and the New Freedom Credit Union. A woman's been raped here, and the perpetrator is still on the scene. I knocked him out, and this is the victim's phone. She's right here, I'll let you talk to her and handle things.""<br/><br/>Handing the phone to the poor woman, Ayako moved over to the man. She had pulled off the strap of the purse, and using the long leather thong, she bound the man's arms behind him. She returned to the purse, taking the other one off, and returned to bind his ankles.<br/><br/>When she finished, the woman was hanging up the telephone. She looked up to Ayako, ""Oh.... miss, please..... thank you! Is there some way I can repay you?""<br/><br/>Ayako blinked, then shook her head, ""Nothing is necessary, dear. I can hear the Police already... they should be here soon. I'll be around, but you won't find me. Nor will the police.""<br/><br/>""Take care,"" Ayako smiled, vanishing into the shadows just as a squad car came to a halt, lights strobing and siren squalling.<br/><br/>Aya rested up atop the theater, having lifted herself kinetically to the roof. They'd not likely think to look up here. Unless they brought out a helicopter, and she could find somewhere else to hide from that. She hoped they'd finish things up quickly, so she could get back down and out of this biting wind, gather her blanket, and find somewhere else to sleep the night.</td></tr></tbody></table>"

As the woman kissed down to her neck, making Ayako gasp softly, she whimpered out, ""But... but I'm not a lesbian.... you're going to rape me, aren't you?""<br/><br/>The attention being given her nipples had her feet pointing straight at the floor, toes curling slightly, ""Oh! Why? Why me? Why always me?"" Her head slumped forward, eyes closing as the pleasurable sensations took over, hanging hair shadowing her cute face as she tried to reign in her fear and arousal, to little success.</td></tr></tbody></table>"

A frown appeared on Selina Krux's  (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Image:SophiaMyles.jpg) pouting lips, wondering if this was the correct place where she was to meet her blind date. All she knew from her friends was that there was someone who she should meet to get herself out of this dating funk. Her friend, Tanya, never said who this person was exactly only that he was a friend of a friend and maybe the two would have something in common. Really, she doubted the pair had anything in common other than the fact the two were being set up on blind dates and might find it awkward to hold a conversation together. Even now, she pondered the fact she could skip out on the date and head back to her apartment to pig out on ice cream and chocolate. Ooh, chocolate sounded good right about now but the outfit she wore did not need to have chocolate stains or a pooch in her stomach.<br/><br/>For this blind date, she sought to wear a black corset dress with a pink belt around her waist (http://images.chicalert.com/Asos.comFashionandBeautySale_E2E8/ASOSPremiumTieredCorsetPromDress1.jpg). Her hair was up in a messy chignon, a few pieces of her blond hair falling down to frame her face. She wore little make up and even though the dress would be better off with stiletto's, she instead exchanged the high heels for black wedge heels (http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/5f/9/AAAAAk4B7-gAAAAAAF-ZdA.jpg). Outside of the club, she glanced in different directions having thought somewhat was on on the dark street alongside with her. ""Hello, is anyone out there?,"" she asked all the while silently berating herself for asking that stupid question. Only dumb females in horror movies asked that before a psychotic killer came at them with a machete or a chainsaw. If she ever saw a man wielding a knife or a gun, she knew to kick off her wedges and run in the opposite direction while calling the cops on her cell phone. She was not going to end up tripping over an imaginary rock and looking back at her killer everytime. Nope, she was going to go out kicking and screaming before that ever happened.<br/><br/>""I must be trying to scare myself,"" she said beneath her breath as she made the move to cross the street. In this neighborhood, officers usually stayed away from the nightclubs unless it was to pick up hookers or even to arrest drug dealers who wanted to use the corner of the famous clubs to make their shady dealings. The good thing about her was the fact she was licensed to carry a gun after her last job had been broken into by a robber at the pawn shop. It had been a horrible experience and one she never wanted to repeat again. Hopefully, the blind date would not be grabby hands with her unless he wanted to get shot in the crotch for it. Last time, she used the gun, it had been in a gun store where she learned how to shoot at targets. The next person who tried to attack her would end up with a few bullets in his chest but until then, she kept her trigger happy self under control.<br/><br/>For now, she merely stepped up towards the security guard and gave her his name before she was led inside. It was not too long before someone came around to informing her that her date was cancelled. Cancelled? Already? Damn, she knew she should have bailed out and now she was looking like the fool. Glancing around the place, she sighed, knowing she would stay a little while before catching a cab back to her place. What a waste of a good dress but at least she looked great for tonight before she went back to dressing in her work attire and throwing in codes for the computer company she worked. Settling herself at the bar, she asked for an appletini to try and loosen herself a bit and maybe even chat up the bartender."

He had woken late, after 5 p.m., with a serious hangover. By the time he had gotten out of bed his auto-kitchen had a strong, warm cup of coffee waiting for him. Caliban dumped it into a larger glass, added a couple of raw eggs, Tabasco, a couple of caffeine tablets, cause it was never strong enough. As the dot above the i he added some Caribbean rum. The breakfast of champions.<br/>One hour later he was downtown, at a fancy healthclub he had somehow scammed his way into. As soon as he got within 200 meters of the place his comlink gave him an angry reminder. It was time to renew his membership, something he couldn't afford at the moment. He had high hopes for the job a friend had offered him, he had bills to pay and healthclub memberships to renew. Not that he needed to work on his body, but he liked to work up a sweat, either with the machines or in the sauna. Today he did both. First 2 hours with the machines, then a quickie in the sauna with a junior executive named Sean. Caliban left with a big grin on his face. He had to get the money, this place sure was worth it.<br/>On his way home he was challenged to a game of Paranormal Crisis by a snot nosed kid who had read his profile. Caliban had never been one to step down from a challenge, and spent the next 15 minutes getting his virtual ass kicked all across the matrix. He just couldn't compete with the reflexes of a 12 year old, suddenly he felt old. And the kid sure didn't have to be so damn smug about it, Caliban felt like yanking the head right of the brat's shoulders. He chose the mature response instead. He thanked him for a good game...and saved his user-profile. Maybe he could convince Noe or some other hot hacker to send the kid a nasty virus or something.<br/>After he got home he spent some time logged into the matrix. He chatted with a housewife, a mother of three from the DC area. Caliban was quite vain and shallow, and preferred his sexual partners young and pretty. But there were something to be said for housewives. In the matrix, where everyone could look exactly how they liked, there were no holding them back, they had such delightfully dirty imaginations. They spent a couple of hours together in full Virtual Reality, playing High Society Trophy Wife and Orc Robber. Cyber sex, almost as good as the real thing.<br/>On his way to the meet he started feeling a bit tired again, and popped open a capsule and poured it's contents into his mouth. He wasn't exactly sure what it was, he had gotten it from a friend, but it was working for him so he didn't ask to many questions. It was some kind of stimulant, he knew that much.<br/>Just as he was starting to worry about money again, enough that he actually was about to call his financial advisor, his com beeped and he read the message with a big grin. It was from one of his fixers, Harry. That could only mean one thing: work.<br/>When he got to the Cage the people he was meeting had already been there for quite some time.

Forget the right of the people, the meek have not inherited the earth, they are little more than the toy’s of the powerful. Unless one is ruthless or quite skilled there is no upward mobility in society. In this grim time the powers that be have seen fit to insure the pacification of the people by employing new methods of entertainment.

To determine the winner of a race we will use the E dicebot. Each track will have a stat that it leans towards such as weapon power, or top speed, ect. You will add you’re rides stat number for that specic stat to your role and that will be your score the one with the highest score wins.

He was wearing a black leather jacket, and some blue jeans, as well as a blue shirt and a brown belt.

Pyro may not be the racer with the best record, but he does have a knack for survival. He knows how this is supposed to go. Play to the cameras, big brother Arturo is watching after all. In the end, that may just be why he wasn't the biggest winner in the league. Too prone to showing off. The cherry red ""Torchsong"" revs as he approaches the gates- picking up speed while others only get slower. His red riding suit and helmet letting the wind whip around him as he flips one switch. A chemical reservoir in his bike gets the signal and begins letting it's payload out the back- with a small laser igniting it as he passed.<br/><br/>The result- Pyro not only approaches the gates fast but a trail of flames almost as tall as his bike marks where he's been. All to put on a good show of course. He doesn't stop so much as powerslide into the garage- turning off the napalm dispenser only to prevent burning down the garage. Not that he doesn't want to watch it burn so much as it would come out of his cash prize.<br/><br/>Looking toward a camera in the garage, he takes off his helmet to reveal that almost all of the skin on his head is obviously fake- synthetic skin to help the fact that he was once burned quite badly himself. The cameras with better sound reception are inside so he doesn't talk to it right away. Parking his bike properly, he steps inside and grins for the cameras- tapping the first he can actually reach like a prize horse.<br/><br/>""<strong>Hey kiddies, Welcome to the Uncle Pyro Show!

He studied hard and trained all his life finally entering the Military at 16. He strived for excellence and quickly attracted the attention of the Tir special forces. It was only a short time till he tried to move on and his request to join was quickly accepted. He was inducted into the riggers and hard training of the Ghosts. He went beyond his commanders expectations and was scheduled to be given his own team after only a couple of years.<br/>That all changed when a container of a new experimental version of Lae’s broke in his hand during a lab accident turning this once great soldier into a mockery of what he used to be. Still he was useful and so he was given solo mission as a scout. He was destined to roam far afield to take out solo targets or to infiltrate organization and gather information so that the rest of his team could later on make a hit. He was extremely good at this and it was found that slowly his skills were coming back. Eventually he will be back to what he once was but until then he stayed a solo operative.<br/>Now his latest mission has him working deep undercover within the Triad as he searches for a Tir defector from the old house guard who is believed to be selling advanced Tir weaponry to rebel forces. It has been a year since he went in and so far only a few leads have popped up. Things are moving slowly. What little information he has found has been sent off to his superiors and he is slowly collecting more.<br/>His position within the triad brings him in constant contact with the dancing girls. He’s guarded them on more than one occasion. Most of them tend to take a liking to him because he doesn’t treat them like objects but like people and even though he could have his way with them he’s never tried anything with any of them. In fact he’s rather woman shy when off work which mystifies some of the dancers cause they would love to get a piece of him.

That is, however, pretty far from the truth. Cain did grow up in Seattle, but not in the Redmond slums, he actually grew up in one of the gated communities of Bellevue, where Seattle's elite lives. His parents rich beyond measure, Cain lacked nothing during his first years. That all changed the summer after Cain graduated from highschool. Against all odds he goblinized, despite goblinization being much rarer these days and despite him being much older than when goblinization usually sets in. To add insult to injury, they boy also proved to be Awakened. This was a disaster for his family, they had after all been one of Brackhaven's major backers during his bid for presidency. Quickly it was decided that Cain would be sent to Europe, to avoid a scandal. His parents bought him a small but extravagant apartment in Prague, and payed his tuition to the University of Prague. They adamantly refused to finance any magical studies though, so Cain started studying art history without much enthusiasm. His parents made it clear to him that he was not to return to Seattle.<br/>Cain didn't pay much attention to his school work, instead he left quite a mark on Prague's hip and trendy club scene, hanging out with rich and terminally bored young elite that attended the university. His Awakened status made him something of a minor celebrity, and he had no problem picking up companions, both male and female, something that was sure to aggravate his family even more.<br/>During that time the rumor of a new spell, that supposedly could induce continuous orgasms in a whole room of people circulated around the university. The spell was not on any of the University's Approved Spell lists, but the mage students was convinced it existed, it quickly became the Holy Grail of the Magic Program. Cain, on a drunken dare, wowed to obtain it, despite him not being a magic student. Convinced that the university's most famous professor, the dragon Schwarzkopf, would  have a copy of the spell, Cain set out to break into his office to try to find it. To drunk and stoned to realize just how stupid of an idea that was, he quickly learned the error of his ways as he was caught red handed by the professor himself. The professor didn't seem terribly annoyed though, if anything he seemed impressed that a mere art student would dare to break into his office, and he was amused by the mortal fixation with mating once he learned of Cain's target. Schwarzkopf struck a bargain with Cain. If he enrolled in Schwarzkopf's course of Practical Thaumaturgy and passed, he would get the spell as a graduation gift. Cain of course accepted more than willingly, magic studies had been bared for him up until now. Cain buckled down (a bit at least), and despite not being the academic sort he managed to get passing grades (barely). True to his word, Cain got the gift he was promissed, but more importantly, he know had a calling, he was a mage. He had heard the voice of Tor calling to him, and he had answered. He was now a devout follower of the old Norse religion, as it was intimately connected to his magic. This was the straw that broke the camels back in the eyes of his parents, who were devout christians. Their son had goblinized, Awakened, fornicated with both men and women, done drugs, studied magic against his parents wishes, and now he was a heathen. Cain's parents disowned him for good, but Cain didn't care anymore, he had written his parents of a long time ago.<br/>Cain, now calling himself Caliban, eventually returned to Seattle, the perfect place to live if you wanted a life in the shadows, which sounded pretty good to him at that point in life. If his parents know he is back remains to be seen.<br/>Caliban has pulled of a few, low profile jobs and managed to survive. He has a reputation for being a loyal, if not the most competent and focused, mage. Because mages are still so rare, he has no trouble finding crews to work with. He lives in a nice apartment in the Elven District in Downtown Seattle. He has only been back in Seattle for a year, but he is already a well known face on the Seattle club circuit and he is steadily working his ways down the circles of Dante's Inferno. He has been living well above his means, however, and is now in desperate need of a job.<br/><br/>Personality: Fun loving and easy going, he can be a real reveler when he's in the mood. He does take some recreational drugs now and then, but takes care not to get hooked and stays away from the heavier stuff. He is a well known and well liked regular at several of Seattle's hottest clubs.<br/>Caliban has a craving for gadgets, he has to own the newest and coolest gadgets that are released, and he blew most of his last paycheck on the new Fairlight Caliban (partly because of it's name, but also because it is the cutting edge and the most expensive commlink on the market right now). His apartment is decorated in very good taste, with tastefull and expensive art and furniture and the latest in home entertainment. The fact is that very little is left of the money he got from his parents, and his trust funds are smaller than he'd like, so he'll have to step up his shadowbuisness to make ends meet.<br/>Once he started running, he bought the biggest damn handcannon he could find, a Ruger Super Warhawk. He now lovingly refer to it as ""Doomcock"". Yes, it's all very Freudian.<br/>Caliban is bisexual, but favors females slightly more, he has yet to actually fall in love with a man, men are just for quick sex with no strings attached. He is a regular at Powerline, and he makes sure to dress appropriately when he goes there.<br/>Caliban's favorite hobbie is clubbing, and picking up hot women to bring home to his place, where he records some naughty simsense of his own. Using a split signal simsense rig, Caliban records both his and his lady friends sensations during the sex. At first it was just a fun thing, but now Caliban claims it has made him a much better and considerate lover. He almost flipped out the first time he ""watched"" through a scene from the woman's perspective and realised she had just been faking. To keep that from ever happening again, he makes sure to really focus on the woman and her needs.<br/>Many women don't want him to record them until he promises them not to distribute the material. Explaining to them that a mage following Tor would suffer serious consequences if they break their word most agree to the recording, even getting turned on by the idea.<br/>Caliban never records his male encounters, claiming that he already knows what a male orgasm feels like, having experienced plenty himself.<br/>Caliban is clearly a sexoholic, having trouble focusing if he goes without for to long.<br/><br/>Appearance: A tall, well muscled orc with chocolate colored skin and a short, neonorange mohawk, Caliban attracts attention where ever he goes. Considered handsome by even most none orcs, Caliban dresses to enhance his appearance. If he goes clubbing, he wears tight leather pants that doesn't do much to hide his substantial bulge, and he usually wears really tight t-shirts, or maybe some revealing net shirt, or maybe just some brightly colored body paint. When he's not clubbing, he usually wears really stylish and expensive suits, and those who knows him from the club scene would hardly recognize him, he dresses up really well, looking very dignified and like he'd belong in any Country Club...if it weren't for his tusks.<br/>When he's working he usually wears his dark trench coat, and when he casts his magic his eyes becomes bottomless wells of blue lightning, and electricity crackles over his body and down into the ground, making him look like some angry thunder god.<br/><br/>Contacts:<br/>Erika d'Agincourt<br/>The young heiress to the d'Agincourt fortune, Erika is featured in almost every tabloid magazine each month. Adrien d'Agincourt, the current head of the family business, that mostly deals in fashion and fine wines, has shamelessly used his three daughters to promote the companies products, the girls appearing at different high profile social events each week, always wearing the latest from d'Agincourt Haute Couture Inc. Erika, the youngest of the three, has now taken over as the next in line of the d'Agincourt Scandal Beauties. Her older sisters are cutting down on their social events more and more as they get more responsibilities in the family company, making the spotlights focus even more on Erika.<br/>Erika and Caliban met during his time in Prague. Erika was in Europe doing the Grand Tour when she took a little detour to visit some friends that went to the University in Prague. Caliban and her met in a trendy club there, and they clicked, enjoying eachothers company immensely. After that time, Caliban and Erika hooked up regularly when they were in the same area, especially when Erika was mad at Daddy.<br/>The d'Agincourt clan relocated to Tir Taringire when the nation was founded, and they took their company with them, even though they kept most of their land and wineyards in France. Due to their faith in the young nation, that they dared to move their company there as Tir Taringire took it's first baby steps, they eared a lot of good will both among the commoners and the nobility, and most of the d'Agincourt clan holds titles (Erika herself being a Countess). After the recent troubles in Tir Taringire lately, the company and the clan once again relocated, this time to Seattle.<br/>Erika is the classic ""Poor rich girl"", smiling brightly for the cameras while being deeply unhappy with her life. Everyone pulling at her from all sides, wanting things from her. But does her friends even like her, or are they just using her in their own accent to fame? That is one of the reasons she likes spending time with Caliban (appart from slumming and pissing off Daddy). Caliban doesn't want anything from her (except for sex, which she is also is very fond of, so that works out fine). Erika is actually one of those many women Caliban has used his dual sim rig on during their sex. She was very reluctant at first, but after Caliban promised not to put it up on the Matrix or distribute it in any other kind, and explaining to her what a broken promise would mean to him she agreed, as long as she could get copies of everything they recorded. To this day, she remains his favorite partner, and he keeps her storage crystals safely hidden away.<br/>Erika is a very good contact if you want to get close to the rich and famous, her name opens doors. She gladly helps him when she can, because he ask her for favors as a friend, and gladly returns the favor when she wants something from him. Although he is highly irresponsible, she knows in her heart he will be there when she needs him.<br/><br/>Sweet William: This flamboyant gay troll is a regular at the gay club Powerline, and just happens to be a damn good fixer. (Sweet William is mentioned in Runner Havens, page 112. I think he's fun, and would be a perfect contact for Caliban.)"

A firm believer that war is most accurately portrayed as it proclaimed by Hextor, he never the less fights for a better world. Recently he's taken to adventuring in order to find his place in the Shieldmaiden's great tactical plan- not sure of what his goddess has planned for him.<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong>With short black hair and blue eyes, the paladin of the shieldmaiden falls just shy of devastatingly handsome- probably would be if he smiled more. Currently hasn't had enough battled for any real disfiguring scars. Personality wise he seems to be the embodiment of ""Lawful Good doesn't equal Lawful Nice"" in battle, and a very religious man when not. Of very strong faith, he is probably the most laid back religious extremist most people have ever met. He's really just saving it for someone that deserves it but it can still seem like a breath of fresh air. As for activities such as drinking, tobacco, and carnal activities- the shieldmaiden does recognize that the mortal body has needs other then making war. So her paladins are instructed to not do any of these things to the extent that others are hurt and to always be honest in dealing with these matters- but otherwise does not prohibit them, though she does prefer if the paladin honestly cares about the partner for anything carnal."

in slaying the commander in an honorable duel, Glorin was now honor-bound to tend to the well-being of his fallen foe's family.<br/><br/>The dwarven armies pressed on to claim their rightfully won prisoners from the mercenary and orc forces, only to find a slaughter.  There had been a payment dispute that turned violent, ending in the complete destruction of both sides.  There was only one person alive among the carnage, the nameless commander's daughter.  As honor demanded, though not without a great deal of scorn, Glorin took the girl in and looked after her needs, if nothing else.  Being human, the girl wasn't actually a part of any clan, despite being under the care of the Axebeard clan.  Although Glorin despised her immediately and unconditionally, the rest of the clan received her more kindly, and gifted her with a name.  Benesli.<br/><br/>Her guardian took to throwing young Benesli into situations she was completely unprepared for, in the hopes that she would fail miserably and humiliate herself.  He'd throw her in with the other apprentices in the forge, and she excelled.  He threw her in with the other apprentices in training, handed her the biggest and most unwieldy sword they had, yet she proved a natural.  Despite her guardian's best efforts, the young Benesli earned honor to her name, and gained the respect of the entire hold through her efforts.<br/><br/>It was when the remnants of the Redclaw clan resurfaced that she finally got the opportunity to prove her prowess on the field of battle, taking the massive blade she had wrought to bear against the orc dregs, even felling the last in the Redclaw's line of chieftains with a single stroke.<br/><br/>This was the final feather in her cap that earned her a true place among the dwarves.  Legal membership in a clan.  But there was one problem; Glorin was dead set against it, and absolutely refused to allow her into clan Axebeard.  And Benny didn't have the ties to the other clans to join them.  So, the elders decided she would be her own clan.  Thus, clan Ironborn was founded, and Benesli Ironborn was legally declared a dwarf.  Immediately, Glorin took the opportunity to banish her from Axebeard holdings, as was his right now that she was no longer his responsibility, and she left the hold to make a name for her new clan, that it may gain members and glory, and endure through the ages.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Benny is young, strong, and handsome.  She has a hard, lean, well-muscled body with biceps that would make most orcs jealous.  Her silver hair and gray eyes give her something of a distant, somber air that rarely lasts longer than it takes for her to open her mouth.  Having spent most of her life underground, she's still extremely pale.<br/><br/>She tends towards heavier, looser clothing, and even her casual wear very nearly qualifies as armor unto itself, though she's not one to shackle herself to the ground with seven layers of steel.  If her tastes in clothing tend towards the heavier side, her taste in armor tends towards the lighter, that her movement might be unimpeded.<br/><br/>Her most notable feature when suited up for battle, or even simply traveling, begins at her left shoulder, with a system of harnesses traveling down her arm, to a heavy gauntlet shackled to the handle of a ten-foot slab of solid steel she calls a sword.  Her baby.  A sword she made with her own two hands, and a weapon that would look no less imposing in the hands of an giant.<br/><br/>Ultimately, Benny looks more like a boy than a girl.  With washboard abs and a chest that fails to compete with the average ironing board, very few in her entire life have ever accurately identified her as a woman, and most don't believe her when corrected.  Even topless, some have still made that same mistake.  And when rumors of the mighty warrior and skilled smith 'Benny' spread, they irrevocably brand her male.  She has long since given up on correcting those who make that mistake."

Her long locks that somehow avoid being snagged or knotted and are of golden-red hue so bright they often seem luminous under most lighting conditions.<br/><br/>Background<br/><br/>Not many are as impatient nor as fiery as this tempestuous redhead. From a young age Nara often found herself at odds with others that usually ended in blows being exchanged. With remarkably low self disciple, it wouldn't take much for Nara to launch herself into fights no matter the numbers involved. Unfortunately for those on the receiving end of her wrath, Nara had a remarkable reflexes which gifted her with outstanding ability to avoid being hurt.  Her reputation of leaving fights with nothing that would even leave a scar and in a mood to look for another nicknamed her ""the wasp"" by most of those about her age.<br/><br/>Born of two talented ship builders, her parents could not have been more ashamed.<br/>Being the only child Nara should have been in a position to inherit a considerable fortune, however the wealth her parents accumulated ended up being gutted from a string of occurrences where authorities had to be bribed in order to see Nara out of trouble. After one such time out of countless, her parents had enough, gave her a bag of gold and wished her well finding herself through other means. Silently her parents however never worried about her safety, they prayed for the safely of any finding themselves traveling with her.<br/><br/>Quirks<br/><br/>Due to the nature of the Suloise's fair skin, sunburn is a constant concern. The idea of freckles to mar her even skin tone scares Nara more than any monster ever could.<br/><br/>The Sun is something Nara does not shy away from admitting as her greatest fear and will openly organize travel at times between dusk and dawn. When not fighting Nara's face is always wrapped in shrouds or veils of fine cloth. If Nara is forced to travel when the sun is high in the sky, she would dress as if she is facing a sandstorm, and most likely will be moaning about it constantly.  Other race's tolerance of the sun is an issue of jealousy that Nara makes no effort to tame.<br/><br/>Outlook and Philosophy<br/><br/>Nara is an opportunist in a manner similar to thieves and would readily be a sword arm in a mission mainly focused on theft. Those she believes are candidates to be relieved of their treasures include the arrogant, the aloof any openly evil, or those so wealthy ...<br/><br/>""...

(http://contritionguild.com/Zylvyn/Xelise-Spells.pdf)<br/>Background:  Xelise Arralia T'iar was born to a loving mother and father, like most humans are.  There was no hardships for the family, as the parents were both mages that ran a school.  They wanted their son to follow in their footsteps, since he shared the T'iar bloodline, and had the potential to be a powerful wielder of the arcane.  There was only one kink in the plan.<br/><br/>Dozens of generations ago, the very first T'iar; Veneficus T'iar, was ungifted.  A regular person in every way, shape and form.  He desperately wanted to be more, though.  He wanted power, to help people, to protect them.  He prayed to all of the gods, and none of them answered his plea... and then there was a night where a rift in the world itself seemed to open in front of him, and some strange being with odd tendrils and a general human shape (but not even truly humanoid, as it had no legs, and no hands) spoke directly in his mind... It offered him that power, to him and to his bloodline, and in exchange, the man, and any offspring at the being's choosing, would have to do his bidding.  The pact was formed, and Veneficus eventually grew to become one of the greatest mages lost to the sands of time.  There was only one command that the faceless one gave to him, and that was when he was made to rape a poor girl that was nearby.  She bore a gifted child, of that coupling, and decided to keep it, to raise it independent of the sins of it's father... and so the T'iar bloodline progressed along a benevolent path of purity and goodness.<br/><br/>On Xelise's 20th birthday, the voice spoke to him... It introduced itself simply as his new master, and compelled him to leave home, to travel.  Strange powers began to manifest, in Xelise, strange powers that other mages couldn't identify with certainty... They could identify an element of chaos within it, though, and suggested he go consult those who dealt with chaos regularly.<br/><br/>Xelise travelled to the underdark, and lived among the Drow for a couple of years.  It was very rough, he was used, manipulated and often brought to the brink of death, but eventually, he was able to find a priestess who, after using him for her enjoyment, told him what she knew of his strange abilities.  It wasn't a manifestation of good or of evil, it was an extension, an outlet, of chaos and entropy.  It wasn't evil or unholy or dark, it was just wrong, unnatural, impure.  It didn't destroy, it unmade things... unravelled them through corruption.  It was something that was there before the forces of good and evil came to be.  Eldritch.<br/><br/>When he heard of the town of Spielburg, he packed up his things and headed there... the voice promising him more answers if he listened to it and went.  The voice had plans for him, and he would cooperate.<br/><br/>On the way to Spielburg, Xelise met up with Nara, a fiery haired woman with a personality to match.  She had saved him from some bandits, and in turn, he saved her from harm from those same bandits, by manifesting his abilities to unmake the muggers that were no longer even focused on him.  The two traveled to Spielburg together, clearly seeing the benefit of mutual assistance.<br/><br/><br/>Description:  <Reserved><br/><br/>Picture/Portrait:  (http://www.chroniclesofthenecromancer.com/i//summoner_cover_for_web.jpg)<br/><br/>Will update as description and past are finalized."

She tends to push the limits of taste with her fashion sense, favoring unique touches to even the most standard 'adventurer's garb', and enjoys wearing the freer-flowing, less constricting (and, of course, more revealing) garb of a dancer... when she can get away with it.<br/>Wavy, collar-length locks of her violet hair sweep over her ears and stir when she moves, and her fetching-- though alien-- eyes twinkle in an inviting sapphire hue.  Her curves are subtle, but enticing, and her swagger hints at a brazen confidence mingled with a polite acknowledgment-- and disregard-- for humility.  <br/> <br/><strong>History:</strong> <br/>Clover has no memory of her childhood, though she doesn't know if this is due to trauma, injury, or some magical side-effect of sorcery gone wrong.  Her draconic heritage has become increasingly evident since she became a young woman, so she's deduced her parents' background in the arcane, but Clover's own talent has only just begun to emerge.  <br/><br/>Prior to the past year, Clover was concerned-- rather, obsessed-- with finding her family's history.  She poured over public records and tavern tales, returning dead-end upon wild-goose-chase.  To the best of her knowledge, she was simply found one day, a girl of few years, along the shore of a bog.  <br/><br/>After a few years fostered by a convent, she had been provided a recommendation to seek employment as apprentice to a high-society dressmaker.  Though she was skilled enough to learn, it proved to be other parts of her than her fingers that interested the proprietor, prompting Clover to take to the road in the hopes that her budding talents in the magical arts-- talents that comforted her to discover, that soothed her curiosity until, gradually, she came to accept her lot in life as a magician, a loner, and an audacious bachelor-- all in a girl's body.<br/><br/><strong>Character sheet:</strong> http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=161119 (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=161119)<br/></td><td>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/2/20/Spell_Scale.jpg/380px-Spell_Scale.jpg)</td></tr></tbody></table>"

In the book of Vile Darkness disfiguring things lower Charisma. But Charisma isn't solely about looks. The Dretch isn't low because of looks alone, its a horrible creature and no one want's to trust or be around it.<br/><br/>On the subject of Charisma, in real life, when it comes to women physical attractiveness goes up on account of other things in their personality. At least it does for me. You have girls who look like Megan Fox but I find totally unattractive because of their shitty personality.

All through school he aced everything quickly. He was taking college classes his sophomore year, and he was taking advance college classes his senior year. By the time he actually got to Horizon he was something of a phenomenon in the world. Of course he hadn't done anything worth remembering and that was when he started studying for the first time the human mind. To be precise it had been medicine that attracted his attention.<br/>He started doing extensive research becoming obsessed with it, pushing and pushing, seeing the different ways the chemicals could effect someone. If you could be made to stop being depressed, to stop people from having poor attention spans. Reduce anger, couldn't they make others agree with great ideas, or further agree and make any thought law? It was that question he wanted to have answered and he went to work renovating a entire building to finding it. After a year of heavy research he got his answer. He had done it, he had invented something to control the human mind. But found himself realizing he knew exactly how he would use it, but what if he let others use it. It'd have to be more interesting then him just doing it right? So he grabbed a bunch of people who could use it to their advantage and decided to see how they went about things. Someone had to be able to do something interesting right?<br/>Appearance: (http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/pandora_samma/takumi.jpg)"

We are still part of the team but the only difference is that we just ""see to a major flank"" or issue together - and we both act as far as XP and treasure goes like we are one person - so no drain on your lot can be claimed.<br/><br/>I will not accept XP until your all level 3 or 4, this isn't too bad as one your all level 3 or 4 ... i would zoom up levels fast considering what we are facing<br/>- it will just be to prove a point. (hmm i wouldn't mind being level 2 before trying this as a few extra HP to deal with lucky criticals etc would be handy but so be it... I have claimed as much I will stand by it)<br/><br/>This must make all happy for several reasons<br/>a) You have a guarded for a nuker that can see to one flank or issue without really worrying about them.<br/>b) Your XP and loot is not being sapped as if your dealing with a bludger<br/>c) Chances are he and I perhaps the rouge too may pull of shady stuff together and bring back loot for you all - to share ( for things the pally wouldn't really be keen on doing for their own reasons )<br/><br/>When I do zoom up levels likely I will be spending feats on extra magic slots etc so i can wear several rings or amulets ie ""bling"" options or others that I raelly do beleive all would see as useful ""enough"" to have around :)"

The College's top academic student has suddenly sent out invitations to seemingly random individuals from all walks of the school. It's rumored even a teacher has been made present for the events and the letter says that he wishes to show off to all walks of life what he had been working on for the past year. When everyone arrives for the show it turns out Kevin had become obsessed with the human mind, it's chemical properties and how too control them. It seems he had success on a rapid enough margin. And now he's ready to show it off, he intends to sell it too anyone in that room, and whoever else they themselves bring. He cares  not for the consequences for the vial could be good or bad, it all depends on it's use, and he wants to see how things turn out. Maybe some slaves will be born? Maybe some gangs will be made peaceful? Ooh my the possibilities......<br/><br/>-<strong>Kevin's Lab</strong>-<br/><br/>It was time, his invitations had been sent and now he simply sat waiting for all the those he had deemed worthy to witness what could very well change the world come to see it's fruition. They would all follow into what appeared to be a abandoned looking apartment building before they'd be led through the corridors suffering some deterioration and neglect. The hole left from whatever had not been restored, some of the paint had started to peel. But eventually they'd reach the stairway leading down into a massive lab. (http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu138/az2oz_amb/Sydney%20Week%201/DSC05457.jpg) There they'd see a table housing hundreds of vials and in front of them sat Kevin London (http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr284/alunem316/Random%20Anime/TakumiHotel_hq.jpg) himself, legs crossed on his chair waiting patiently.</span>"

She was a rather miserable woman in his opinion. Frankly he found her desire to out do him rather cute. But it wasn't really bragging rights or because of her mind he had invited her. Rather it was much more complicated. Simply put he had no interest in taking it much farther then what he was already going to do. But Tabitha had the mind to really do interesting things with it. Great things, with any luck wondrous and horrible things. When she spoke he'd find himself giving her a bored look. ""I wasn't aware you enjoyed stating the obvious,"" he told her. Tabitha might have kept her anger and general negative attitude bubbling below the surface but Kevin found little time or energy acting as others wanted him too. He acted as he pleased how he pleased, and if he cared to do it he could get anything he needed with those vials. Still he'd tilt his head, ""must be torture for you,"" he said dark eyes scanning her face. ""For a year your single superior has been shut away working on something dealing with your subject,"" he said pausing, ""and suddenly sends out invitations too show what he's been working on,"" he finished. He'd wait to see the gears in her mind turn before nodding, ""I've written new rules, and understand the mind's and can manipulate them to my choosing,"" he told her a light grin on his face. He didn't explain much further past that. No it'd be best to wait for the rest of their guests.

He was generally a positive young man, very strong morals, some would call him Christianity but he was a spiritualist. He was almost the exact opposite of Tabitha for all extents and purposes, and that was exactly why Kevin had chosen him. If one student in the world would use the vial for good it would be him, but more then likely he wouldn't. But knowing Tabitha might, could spark something, it'd be so very interesting. When the young man reached the other two he'd pause looking at the other two hands shoved in his pocket and nod his greetings. </span>"

When she grabbed the vial he'd show no care. ""Sharp words without a sword,"" he replied. ""I have no interest in amazing everyone, you're here to amaze me,"" he replied. As she examined it, rivals as they were one might expect him to try to get her to drink it and then take from her, the brilliance that she was. That too would make such a amusing show but it'd be too short and rather bland. The world was stupid enough without stealing another fresh mind. And as it was Tabitha was half the reason many got the invitations. There would be the Tyle's soon, and others, a teacher. Many with power, in fact the only one she had almost nothing to gain from seeing there was Mr. Skies. Right on cue the actor would show up, which was a curious thing altogether. More then likely either he wanted credit and bragging rights for having been there, or if whatever he had made was more perverted perhaps he would run too the cops? Ha, too easy. His popularity and natural charisma however made him very very useful, surely gossip would talk and others would go up to the invitees to learn what they had seen. Kevin would turn his gaze to Tabitha to see how she regarded the actor before turning his attention back to him. ""You'll have to be patient if you wish for me to unveil my secrets,"" he told blunt tone. ""I did send out for more then three, if you don't have any interest by all means you could stop wasting both of our time and leave,"" he said. He'd turn his attention back too the vials and pick one up. Soon it'd be time to have a show, and perhaps Tabitha would make the perfect display subject. He'd of course reverse anything he did but making her do something out of character would surely leave no doubt in anyone's mind what he had done."

She whispered to one of her friends before they'd chuckle, it was then that one of them started talking about him being too close for comfort with his twin sister and there were rumors of them sleeping together from girls that have been with Orion in the past and mentioned that his sister always came first to him. It shocked the plum haired maiden before she lifted her light lavender eyes towards Kevin then glanced away quickly. He was rather handsome herself and she'd silence her friends to get a listen at what she was hearing.</span><br/><br/>"

Ivy wore a tight black pencil skirt that wrapped snugly above her waist, along with a sleeveless white blouse with a ruffled design hanging from her neck, covering her overly large breasts. The room was filled with silence and she stood before an orchestra of 100 students each one eying their teacher attentively. As she tapped the air she parted her plump lips, ""One, two, three. One two three."" At the last count both hands separated out in a 'u' curve that was followed by a boom of strings, woodwind, and brass instruments playing in perfect synchronization. <br/><br/>Her usual strained features began to soften as the melody of ""Requiem for a Dream"" flowed beautifully through her ears, but it was soon interrupted. She could hear a flute that was off beat by merely a second. Ivy could feel an irritating twitch pulsing at her right eye. Without even having to search the room, she pointed the baton at the direction of the student and shot her ice cold eyes in his direction. ""You."" she said bitterly, causing everyone to drop their instruments, most with a look of fear. They knew this routine all to well. <br/><br/>Ms. Ivy Winter was always first known for her incredible beauty, but close in second was her demonic like attitude, especially when it came to errors with her music. No one was given mercy, ever. <br/><br/>The poor boy, that had just started the class trembled with wide eyes, looking around to seek help, but of course everyone knew that his end had came. ""How dare you enter my classroom with your mediocre skills."" she wasn't screaming, but the tone alone was enough to haunt his dreams. ""You're a disgrace to all musicians. Get out. You're finished here."" He didn't talk back, instead he fumbled around nervously, knocking over his music stand. ""Out! Now!"" she ordered. Quickly he stood up, without even attempting to pick up the stand and ran out of the room. <br/><br/>The students didn't dare chat amongst each other on what had just happened, they knew they would be next. Even if she was strict and demanding, everyone knew that she was the best of the best and they would be guaranteed a music career if they followed in her footsteps. Now there were 99 students left and more than half of them would have the same fate as that boy. True enough, within three minutes, another fifteen were sent out, most of them in tears. She was in charge of generating an orchestra of 35 students and she would only accept the best. Music was her love and she would not allow anyone to harm it. She didn't care if that meant breaking the hearts and dreams of the youth. <br/><br/>A half an hour had passed and 36 were left. The song continued the last time and a squeak burst from a clarinet. She pointed her baton at the female, ""Failure. Leave."" she said bluntly. The girl stood up slowly and attempted to return the glare that she was given. <strong>""You're a bitch. Go get laid!""</strong> She yelled. Raising a brow, an eerie grin appeared on Ivy's lips. ""If you're going to insult me at least come up with something that's accurate. I understand you're angry because you fail as a musician. Why don't you try ""blowing"" other things for a living. I'm sure you would be much more useful that way."" Her smile then faded into a solemn expression. ""Here. You are useless."" The words slowly sunk into the girl's mind, tears pouring from her eyes as she scrambled out.

Of course she knew them by name or reputation or face, but that was the extent of it.  Really, she decided, she<em>should</em>socialize more.  Most of the people in the room seemed to be quite 'popular' according to what she'd heard here and there on campus, and she began wondering why exactly<em>she</em>of all people had been invited.  Sure she was smart enough, but as far as Cara knew she was relatively an unknown socially.  Ah well, perhaps it was just best to be a fly on the wall for the evening and take in whatever was about to be said.  Everyone seemed so abuzz about it.<br/><br/>When Tabitha, someone who Cara didn't deem all too tasteful of an individual, burbled that it was Kevin's turn for the spotlight her attention focused on the host, her celedon green eyes never left him as he spoke.  She listened intently as she would during a lecture in class.  Hearing his words her eyebrow involuntarily raised ... it<em>had</em>to be a joke ... or some sort of sociological experiment or the like!  A<em>mind control</em>serum?!  Now she was<em>really</em>questioning why she had been brought in on this meeting of minds.  He offered now a demonstration which she eagerly awaited, though it would most likely take more than one to convince Cara this wasn't a hoax."

As she was about to reply, another voice caught her attention. Raising a brow, she smirked as London spoke to her in disrespect. She wouldn't interrupt him, wanting to hear the reasons behind her summoning. As he finished, she simply ran her slender fingers through her light violet hair and took perfect vertical steps towards him. The click of each stride, echoed through the room as she approached the ill mannered student. <br/><br/>Standing merely an inch away from him, she lifted the invitation to the side of his face with a deadly glare in her eyes. ""<em>You</em>.. wrote this invitation. <em>You</em>.. chose to give it to me. <em>You</em>.. asked me to come here for me to waste my precious time and I'm the one to be punished?"" her voice was soft, with an underlying tone of anger. To be honest, these vials sounded absurd. What type of potion could really generate such greatness  or power? She certainly didn't believe it. If anything, it was probably some prank and those potions were most likely filled with narcotics of some sort. <br/><br/>Bringing her arms up and under her chest, only making her cleavage nearly pour out of her shirt, she continued to stare him down. ""What makes you think I'd take, let alone pay for something that was made by a 'nobody'."" She wasn't one to try anything that wasn't scientifically proven to have real affects. ""For all I know, that substance could be illegal and highly dangerous. I will notify the principle about this immediately."" A sudden smile appeared on her lips, knowing that he could possibly get into very deep trouble, perhaps even get kicked out? It didn't matter to her. She wouldn't tolerate a young cocky lad like himself. Leaning over to his ear, she whispered to him, ""There is nothing that I need to achieve.... I <em>am</em> greatness."" she ended confidently, ripping the paper into shreds and letting them float to the ground. </span>"

He'd shift idly, ""or perhaps you'd like to amuse everyone and take a sip,"" he asked tilting his head. ""I'll let Tabitha walk you out the door,"" he told her his tone turning slightly cruel. ""If you want to go too the Dean by all means enjoy yourself,"" he told her. ""I'd rather enjoy having a conversation and letting him see things my way, perhaps losing your job will show you what a conceited bitch you are,"" he asked. If she elected to say anything he'd just ignore her and turn to everyone else, ""you may all take your vials and go, remember you don't take them, I'll simply find someone who will,"" he told them. Before he'd move over and sit in his chair taking a vial, ""ooh Isis, come here, it won't do to go home and see you clothes on fire once more, Tabitha after all did no specify what clothes were on fire,"" he said, his voice having no real concern. It was simply that he doubted Shea acted quickly enough to take the fact her clothes were on fire out of her mind. He could find more trouble if the cops got involved at this stage. Of course it'd be easy to sway them, all the same anything unnecessary would be better avoided.<br/><br/>Shea would scan Kevin before checking to make sure Isis was the rest of the way settled before he moved forward taking his vials and pausing before moving back towards the exit. He didn't do it with any real speed it was just he had nothing to say. He swore too himself silently that he'd try to reverse whatever was done if he could help it. But odds were if anyone did, it wouldn't be anything big, or that he could prove either. People got boyfriends and girlfriend's all the time. He'd find himself glancing back to the Tyle's to Ophellia in particular, perhaps she'd like to catch up now?<br/><br/>Orion was silent for a moment before he stepped forward and took vials for both him and his sister, he'd stop and turn too her. ""Better us then someone else,"" he would say with a pause before letting her take the lead them away. He had nothing really to say, he still wasn't altogether certain he wouldn't want to use it or not. There were so many things he'd like, and he could have, wasn't a little evil necessary sometimes?<br/><br/>(I'm sorry for my absence, my power cord was left behind and my laptop had lay dead.

Why didn't she rage at him for this untender treatment-- the mechanical, animistic precision with which he positioned her and went to work at her?  Because she'd meant it.  She'd wanted this done and she wanted that animal in him loosed on her skin.<br/><br/>She goes rigid and exhales a moan like a woman dying of fever when he's ready and begins truly, deeply, and heartlessly fucking her.  His cockhead reaches a depth in her that she had only felt as a tingling ache before, massages the parts of her that are more animal than elf.  She sees stars at his deepest thrusts reach the limit of her body.  Her breasts dangle from her chest like full globes of fruit, swaying and bouncing with the rhythm of his thrusts against which she can only brace herself against the headboard, then push back-- and she does.  She thrusts her ass back into his thrusts, one hand braced high and the other steadying her against half-rended, twisted bone-white sheets.  Her coppery skin glistens with the faint mist of sweat from the exertion and she cries out in half-agony, half-bliss, and grinds back into him.<br/><br/>She feels a surge of electricity from his light smack, the sound is high like a broken twig.  She seizes the headboard with a fierce grip in reply, her arm taut and slender-muscled as she twists her upper body and stares into his eyes.  Her mouth hangs in an oval of dark desire, and she gasps back.  ""That's it,"" she says with ragged exhales, between gasps again and again.  ""Don't stop,"" she cries, and with her free hand she rakes her short nails down his pectoral valley, leaving white lines behind, before slamming her hand back onto the headboard with enough force to crack the wood where her knuckles meet.  She then grips it like a drowning woman and thrusts back in desperate counter-motion to his thrusts."

Flipping the stray strands of her wavy curly hair from her face.  As she looked inward in retrospect of the past six months.  <br/><br/>The sweet smell of straw seeming came billowing around her.   Yet it is only a sweet memory.  As did the visual sight of the thatch roof cottage and barn.  That was her and still is her home.   The ghost like sounds of daily activity, so full of vibrant life.   It all came flooding back in her reach into her memory.  The family farm,  father, mother and brother.  <br/><br/>A smile would set upon her face then.  For coming into view within her mind is Olan, the neighbor's son.   Of same age as her.  The times spent hidden away in the loft of the barn.   The picking out of straw out of their hair.   But then she had not been ready to make a commitment to Olan.   <br/><br/>Her father had taught her how to play the mandolin.  He had taught her when she was nine.  She loved that mandolin and still loves it.   It is that love that drew her and open up the possibilities to the world beyond the hamlet of farms.    For one day when the troupe of entertainers came through.  With their colorful wagons.   She would plead with the bucko to take her.  After much persuasion on her part, the bucko would agree to take her.  <br/><br/>During those six months, she learned from the other girls how to dance.  The bucko, a bard by calling.  He would open her to the magic within her.  How to unlock her gift.  From town to town to the big cities of the land they traveled.   While her gift of  a golden tongue.  Her easygoing nature, that beguiled others when she spoke with them.   Sharpened under the guidance of the bucko.  But war was on the horizon.  An the bucko did not want his troupe part of it.   So plans are made, travel to a faraway land.   That the bucko knows of and has been to.   <br/><br/>But Allie did not want to leave.   Despite her ineptness to martial skill.   Allie felt she could still stay be of assistances.    In the meanwhile,  she needed to find employment.  Which leads us to the here and now.   As she listens to the offer of employment from the wealthy retired adventurer that has approached her.   <br/><br/>Leaning forward then, as she came out of the revelry of remembrance.  Allie would look to the old adventurer.  Pausing before accepting, after all she had enough coin still to ponder whether or not to join.  Her skill in pickpocketing had come in handy.   But then some honest employment be good.  Plus the sense of adventure. <br/><br/>  <br/></td></tr></tbody></table>"

Brilliant emerald green eyes shine through the feiry red mane of hair that flows around his face and down his back. His clothes vary but he normally wears the kind of robes that are revealing and show off his perfect body and he prefers warm and vibrant colors that draw attention to himself.<br/><br/>Personality: Andrea is a man of intelligence, wit, and boundless curiousity. Magic is his main pursuit but he is also interested in other cultures, law, geography, faith, art, and much more. If it can be considered an intellectual pursuit then he has some interest in it. Beyond his learning he has a burning sense of justice and will not stand by while wrongs are commited in his presence. While this has gotten him into trouble in the past he refuses to walk away when he can make a difference.<br/><br/>Background: Eon's ago when mankind still used sharpened bone spears and wore the furs of their prey a single fey took advantage of one of tribes women, taking them to his bed and giving them strong and powerful children who could use supernatural powers beyond the ability of normal mortals. As time passed the blessing of the fey diluted in their blood and humans blessed with its power grew less and less till only one every few centuries would appear. Andrea is one of those people, a human blessed with Fey blood and able to reshape the cosmos around him.<br/><br/>Andrea was born in the far north where snow and ice are the usual forcasts. He was the son of a boatmaker and an herbalist who lived in a small fishing village called Char. A place to far, to isolated, and to unimportant for any civilization to care about it. Like most boys he was raised to fish, pulling nets from the ocean and cleaning fish for a meal. Andrea was different from most boys though, he was a charmer, a lover, and an intellectual. Fishing held no interest for him, his loves were women and knowledge. All the women of the small village fawned over him and hoped to one day become his wife. He shared many beds with the village women when he came of age but it was not till he turned seventeen that his powers began to manifest themselves.<br/><br/>At first his powers frightened him and he tried to keep them secret yet they would always manifest at the worst times. After three months of uncontrolled ability going on he determined that he had to learn control over them. He recognized the powers from stories of wizards that lived in far off lands. He had heard stories of men and women that could control the world around them and places of learning from the merchants that would travel through their village. Those stories told him to set sail to the south and seek out the people and places in those stories.<br/><br/>After six months of travel by boat and foot he arrived at the Graymalkin Academy and presented his problem before them. Unfortunatly the Academy could not help him as much as he liked, instead they taught him the beginnings of wizardry and while it gave him insight into his own powers he only learned to control them through practice. After a year he learned enough to control his own ability and is on the path to mastering the wizards art as well. Now he seeks a way to make a living while still gaining power<br/><br/><br/>Male Human Sorcerer 1<br/>Neutral Good<br/><br/>Strength    13   (+1)<br/>Dexterity    17   (+3)<br/>Constitution    16   (+3)<br/>Intelligence    17   (+3)<br/>Wisdom    15   (+2)<br/>Charisma    18   (+4)<br/><br/>Size:    Medium<br/>Height:    6' 0""<br/>Weight:    170 lb<br/>Eyes:    Green<br/>Hair:    Red<br/>Skin:    Pale<br/><br/>Total Hit Points: 7<br/><br/>Speed: 30 feet<br/><br/>Armor Class: 13 = 10 + 3 [dexterity]<br/><br/>Touch AC: 13<br/>Flat-footed: 10<br/><br/>Initiative modifier:   + 3   = + 3 [dexterity]<br/>Fortitude save:   + 3   = 0 [base] + 3 [constitution]<br/>Reflex save:   + 5   = 0 [base] + 3 [dexterity] + 2 [weasel]<br/>Will save:   + 4   = 2 [base] + 2 [wisdom]<br/>Attack (handheld):   + 1   = 0 [base] + 1 [strength]<br/>Attack (missile):   + 3   = 0 [base] + 3 [dexterity]<br/>Grapple check:   + 1   = 0 [base] + 1 [strength]<br/><br/>Light load:50 lb. or less<br/>Medium load:51-100 lb.<br/>Heavy load:101-150 lb.<br/>Lift over head:150 lb.<br/>Lift off ground:300 lb.<br/>Push or drag: 750 lb.<br/><br/>Languages:   Common Draconic Dwarven Giant<br/><br/>Spiked Gauntlet [1d4, crit x2, 1 lb, light, piercing]<br/><br/>Light Crossbow [1d8, crit 19-20/x2, range inc 80 ft., 4 lb, piercing]]<br/><br/>Weasel familiar<br/><br/>Feats:<br/><br/>Eschew Materials<br/>Extend Spell<br/><br/>Skills<br/>Appraise    Int    3 =    +3<br/>Balance    Dex* 3 =+3<br/>Bluff    Cha    8 =    +4   + 4<br/>Climb    Str*    1 =+1<br/>Concentration    Con    7 =+3+ 4<br/>Craft_1    Int    3 =    +3<br/>Craft_2    Int    3 =    +3<br/>Craft_3    Int    3 = +3<br/>Decipher Script    Int    5 = +3   + 2<br/>Diplomacy    Cha    6 =    +4   + 2<br/>Disguise    Cha    4 =    +4<br/>Escape Artist    Dex*    3 =    +3<br/>Forgery    Int    3 =    +3<br/>Gather Information    Cha    4 = +4<br/>Heal    Wis    2 =    +2<br/>Hide    Dex*    3 = +3<br/>Intimidate    Cha    4 =    +4<br/>Jump    Str*    1 =    +1<br/>Knowledge (arcana)    Int    7 =    +3+ 4<br/>Listen    Wis    2 =    +2<br/>Move Silently    Dex*    3 =    +3<br/>Perform_1    Cha    4 =    +4<br/>Perform_2    Cha    4 =    +4<br/>Perform_3    Cha    4 =    +4<br/>Perform_4    Cha    4 =    +4<br/>Perform_5    Cha    4 =    +4<br/>Ride    Dex    3 =    +3<br/>Search    Int    3 =+3<br/>Sense Motive    Wis    2 =+2<br/>Spellcraft    Int    7 =    +3   + 4<br/>Spot    Wis    2 =    +2<br/>Survival    Wis    2 =    +2<br/>Swim    Str**    1 =+1<br/>Use Rope    Dex    3 =    +3<br/><br/><br/>* = check penalty for wearing armor<br/><br/>If the familiar is within reach, + 2 on spot and listen (""alertness"").<br/><br/>Zero-level Sorcerer spells: 5 per day<br/><br/>First-level Sorcerer spells: 4 (3 + 1) per day<br/><br/>Human<br/><br/>* Extra feat at first level (already included)<br/>* Four extra skill points at first level (already included)<br/>* One extra skill point at each additional level (already included)<br/><br/>Sorcerer<br/><br/>* Familiar / Alertness, etc.<br/><br/>* Can know only limited numbers of spells<br/><br/>* High charisma gains bonus spells daily<br/><br/>Class    HP rolled<br/>Level 1:    Sorcerer    4<br/><br/><br/>Andrea Melavag's Equipment:<br/><br/>5 lb<br/>1 lb<br/>2 lb<br/>5 lb<br/>3 lb<br/><br/>1 lb<br/>4 lb<br/>10 lb<br/>2 lb<br/>8 lb<br/>_____<br/>41 lb   Weapons / Armor / Shield (from above)<br/>Crossbow bolts (quiver of 10) x1<br/>Backpack<br/>Bedroll<br/>Blanket, winter x1<br/>Chalk<br/>Pouch x2<br/>Rations (1 day) x4<br/>Rope (50', hempen) x1<br/>Torches x2<br/>Waterskins x2<br/><br/>Total<br/><br/>Spells Known<br/>0 level: Detect magic, Read magic, Ghost sound, Open/close<br/>1st level: Charm person, Grease"

Although her chastity was preserved for the moment of her final induction into the priesthood, the girl was conscribed into the goddess' service in a manner unusual to those of her station-- dance, catering, comforting, worshipping, and house-servitude.  She was miserable at most all of these occupations, and was petulent, begrudging, and bored-- anxious for the things she was denied (which wasn't much).<br/>In light of the fierce war ravaging her world, Sune suprised the clergy when she chose Fallon as a paladin.  Perhaps for her fierce temper and rebellious insubordination at the role of servitude.  Though not exactly clear on the goddess' motivation for this choice, Fallon's accepted her charge to ""help to cease all this... ugliness... that is consuming my world.""  <br/>The last time a man tried to take advantage of her, though, she ruined his organs permanently.   She longs for the comfort of silk gowns and fountains, warm mud baths and the soothing touch of her fellow acolytes... but-- she has to admit-- there's something exciting about being on the road.</span></td></tr></tbody></table>"

Grandson of the (in)famous ""one-twelfth Drow"" bard Orion Russkij and the brass dragoness Mirage Sungazer, he has struck out an early age, feeling the wanderlust in his bones to explore the world, and to meet as many people as he can. Slightly naive yet still cautious, he tends to be more reserved than one might expect considering his grandmother, however once he accepts somebody as being a friend, he sticks by them through thick and thin, and opens up considerably.<br/><br/>Having grown up with his parents and grandparents in the family castle, he has studied the arts of the sword and whip, and seeks to master them fully in time. He is somewhat awkward around women, but does his best to be a gentleman. Which isn't to say, of course, that he doesn't appreciate them...<br/><br/>Sasha is tall and well-built, although he seems to still be filling out his body. Very pale, silvery hair trimmed at the shoulders frames a clean-shaven face, and sparkling pale blue eyes always seem to be in good humour. He tends to usually wear a leather vest and pants, with well-worn but serviceable shoes, a fedora  atop his head and a rapier and whip on his belt.<br/><br/><br/>HP: 24<br/>Touch/FF: 14/12<br/>AC: 16 = 10 + 2[Armor] + 0[Shield] + 4[DEX] + 0[Ring]<br/>Initiative: +4 = +4 [dexterity] +0 [improved initiative]<br/><br/>- Saves -<br/>Fort: +4 = 2 [base] +2 [constitution]<br/>Ref: +4 = 0 [base] +4 [dexterity]<br/>Will: +0 = 0 [base] +0 [wisdom]<br/><br/>- Battle -<br/>Bab: +1<br/>Melee Attack: +1 [+5 with Weapon Finesse]<br/>Ranged Attack: +5<br/>Grapple Check:<br/>Melee Damage: Rapier [+5, 1d6, crit 18-20x2, one-handed, piercing]<br/>Melee Damage: 2 Daggers [+5, 1d4, crit 19-20x2, one-handed, piercing or slashing]<br/>Melee Damage: Whip [+1, 1d3 subdual, crit x2, reach 15 feet, one-handed, slashing]<br/>Ranged Damage: Sling [1d4, x2, range incr 50 ft., bludgeoning]<br/>Grapple Damage:<br/><br/>Leather Armour [Vest; +2, 0, +6]<br/><br/><br/>- Skills - (28)<br/>Balance<strong>(8)</strong>= 4[DEX] + 4[RANKS]<br/>Climb<strong>(4)</strong>= 0[STR] + 4[RANKS]<br/>Craft (Food Preperation)<strong>(4)</strong>= 2[INT] + 2[RANKS]<br/>Diplomacy<strong>(5)</strong>= 3[CHA] + 2[RANKS]<br/>Escape Artist<strong>(6)</strong>= 4[DEX] + 2[RANKS]<br/>Jump<strong>(4)</strong>= 0[STR] + 4[RANKS]<br/>Profession (Cook)<strong>(2)</strong>= 0[WIS] + 2[RANKS]<br/>Tumble<strong>(8)</strong>= 4[DEX] + 4[RANKS]<br/>Use Rope<strong>(8)</strong>= 4[DEX] + 4[RANKS]<br/><br/><br/>Statistics<br/>STR: 11 [+0]<br/>DEX: 18 [+4]<br/>CON: 14 [+2]<br/>INT: 15 [+2]<br/>WIS: 10 [+0]<br/>CHA: 16 [+3]<br/><br/>Light Load: 38 lbs<br/>Medium Load: 39-76 lbs<br/>Heavy Load: 77-115 lbs<br/>Lift over head: 115 lbs<br/>Lift off ground: 230 lbs.<br/>Push or drag: 575 lbs.<br/><br/>- Feats -<br/>Weapon Focus (Rapier) - +1 to attack rolls with rapier<br/>Endurance - +4 to saves to various constitution-y checks<br/>Weapon Finesse (Dex instead of Str for attack rolls with light weapons, rapiers, spiked chains and whips)<br/><br/><br/>- Spells -<br/>None<br/><br/>Equpipement and Items<br/>Backpack<br/>Belt pouch<br/>Bedroll<br/>Waterskin<br/>Flint and steel<br/>Silk rope, 50 foot<br/>Hooded lantern<br/>Oil, 2 pints<br/>Candles x10<br/>Piece of chalk<br/>Fishhooks x3<br/>Roll of twine, 50 foot<br/>Ink, 1 oz bottle<br/>Inkpen<br/>Sheets of paper x4<br/>Signal whistle<br/>Sunrods x2<br/>Tindertwigs x10<br/>Collapsable pole (extends to 12' in increments)<br/>Bag of caltrops<br/>Hunk of cheese<br/>Flasks of Alchemist's Fire x2<br/>Trail bars x20<br/>Adventurers' clothing<br/><br/>Rapier<br/>Daggers x2<br/>Sling with 20 bullets<br/>Whip<br/><br/>Gold: 29.39<br/>"

It sounded familiar like he had heard of it in passing but as much as he questioned travelers there were many places he had heard of in just passing. As he looked up he noticed the vibrant feel of her demeanor when she spoke about her faith but then many who believed in Pelor had similar shine about them. A side effect of the faith perhaps or an infusion of the gods power? One could never know. ""I've heard that name somewhere before but I'm sure I never went there...I grew up in a small fishing village myself with two older sisters to the far north...Your monastery, did you grow up there?

His mind recalling the village of Char, a place of hard work and beauty that had been, thus far, unparalleled. ""I grew up next to the sea in a small fishing village, not more then fifty people lived there. We were nestled in between a large bay and an even larger forest. So there was little to look at beyond the sea or tree's and the only weather we had often was snow. When we looked south we could see the pine tree's standing tall and going on for miles till the mountains rose into the sky like some great behemoth. To the north we had the bay which was bountiful with fish of all kinds and small animals like otters. On occasion we would see a large predator like a killer whale or shark but those times were rare and they soon moved on if we didn't catch them...I recall a day when my eldest sister caught a shark just under thirty feet long. She was so proud of herself...we all were and we ate like kings that week."" He let out a laugh as the memories came back to him. ""A very different world indeed.

Originally, it was merely grabs for territory between Vampires of various sorts, wanting to claim whatever mortals they pleased for their own, or wanting to spread their influence into the businesses and structures of the area. And then complications slowly arose. Complications in the form of mortals. Mortals with superhuman abilities. Mages. It was slow at first, but soon they had their own hold over the city, wanting territory for their own desires, varying from thralls of their own to research equipment.<br/><br/>Today, the initial conflict between the two continues, but in addition to that, interplays and tentative alliances between them against their own have formed, and tensions rise. The pressure on the city, each other, and the mortals around them rise, and almost anything can happen as a result.<br/><br/>(Sorry, I'm a bit tired but I wanted to get this up.

From what Silva could tell from the locals, it was a place of covert conflict. Nobody he talked to knew much, but they were all frightened. Killings were reported regularly, evidence of battle was present in the area. It all reeked of classic vampire occupation. The thought forced a frown to his face.<br/><br/><em>Vampires…</em><br/><br/>Silva looked out over the cityscape from a building on the outskirts of the city. The darkness of night had fallen before he arrived, and a moon shrouded by black clouds hid, as if cowering, in the heavens. Autumn was approaching, and a chilly gust of wind whistled around him. It was a refreshing breeze, and Silva inhaled deeply, eyes closed peacefully. He let his mind stretch out, probing his surroundings.<br/><br/>Suddenly, a heavy feeling descended over his heart. There was something nearby! Something dark and dreadful. The sheer weight of this sensation indicated the presence of a powerful energy, and it did not feel friendly.<br/><br/>Silva raced to the other side of the building, leaping right onto the very edge and peered down. There was a man in a jacket in the shadows of the street, and he was being confronted by a an unnaturally attractive woman in black leather. His eyes narrowed. She was a vampire, no doubt about it. So… they were here after all.<br/><br/>Her eerie calm was in stark contrast to her apparent soon-to-be victim, who gave off a strange sense of weakness. He gritted his teeth. Dammit, what was that fool doing out here? She would kill him for sure if something wasn’t done. Silva wasn’t sure if he could take her. If only his old master was here, he’d know what to do. What would he say now?<br/><br/><em>Wait</em>, probably.<em>There must be more going on here than meets the eye.</em><br/><br/>But Silva couldn’t wait, not if it might cost this man his life. He dived from the roof of the building, descending to earth as if haven fallen from the sky. Just before impact, he leaned forward and let his weight flip him to his feet. Inches from a gruesome splat, he gathered magical energy to his feet. When they hit the hard ground, shockwaves of shimmering white energy rippled outwards from his boots with a sound like an electric crackle, cushioning the entirety of the shock. It felt like he merely jumped off a bus.<br/><br/>He landed in a half crouch, a mysterious hooded figure between the two others, with his back to the woman.<br/><br/>“Wait!” Silva exclaimed to the man, rising slowly. “Get away! This woman is not human…”<br/><br/>He looked back at her over his shoulder, eyes under his hood glaring out from benhind long white bangs. “…Are you, vampire!”<br/>"

It occurred to Silva that there was a growing tension of sorts mounting – a kind of suspense. It was then that he received Steven’s hushed warning, and he knew that the Archmage was sensing something as well. What exactly, though? Another vampire? Somehow he doubted it. This did not feel the same. While he bet his sixth sense was not as acutely developed as Steven’s was, Silva let his mind stretch regardless. Forewarned is fore-armed, after all, so he tried to get a firmer lock on this foreign energy…<br/><br/>And what do you know?  Silva could sense something, no, someone creep up behind him.<br/><br/>""A good night for hunting, wouldn't you say?"" suddenly remarked a female voice.

Whoever this new stranger was, she was only about a foot behind him, and he had no idea if she was friend of foe.

When the front was pushed back and the bands of undead were scattered, life returned to somewhat normal in Esterham.<br/><br/>The war was much further from the front steps of any of the city and consisted more of roving bands and proxy battles that yielded little in the way of results.<br/><br/>Still the city of Eostre was untouched by the tides of change and remained a quaint village. Many an adventurer retired or passed through the village and there were always stories being related by bards down at the Greybell Tavern in town.<br/><br/>One such adventurer<strong>Roland Rengard</strong>decided that the end of his career as a traveling adventurer didn't have to be the end of his money making. He started a group under the name<strong>Acquisitions Incorporated</strong>and started the hunt for employees.<br/><br/>He approaches each of you and brings you aboard promising riches and treasure and even more importantly fame, prestige and respect. After all...all you've got to do is survive.<br/><br/><strong>And the story begins...</strong><br/>The first chilly morning in November, the sky is a blanket of white. And outside of the small frost laden window on the side of the room you're sitting in you can see the ground still has a little snow from the previous day's snow fall.<br/><br/>The room that you all sit within is none other than the waiting room for the newly constructed Acquisitions Incorporated Office in the town of Eostre. You've to an appointment for 10:30 AM and it appears that Ronald Rengard, the man who called you all here, is late.<br/><br/>The room has been quiet up until this point but some of the people waiting have grown increasingly impatient. There's nothing to read or really look at in the room, four wooden walls, the door you came into, another locked door and that one window to the outside world, the snow speckled streets of Eostre."

""Im only saying that it is time for me to leave. You've taught me a lot and I can never thank you enough for that but I cant continue to improve my magic here. I can only learn how to better use yours. I have been hired to see a caravan safely to its destination and I think this and other similar jobs will help me learn things I cant learn here.

He stood there looking up to the sky, thinking about his new found freedom for a moment before he pushed the door open and walked inside. He had that handsome yet slim appearance that made everyone look his way and as he walked in he pushed back a few loose hairs from the long mane. His brilliant green eyes surveyed the inn, looking over the people as he walked up to the bar and ordered a honey mead.<br/><br/>As it was handed to him he took a long drink from the tankard before looking around for the people he had met back at the old man's home. It was time to get to know the people he would be working with.<br/><br/>OOC: Im not 100% sure who is and is not at the Inn so let me know please...oh and I would like to continue the scene since I havnt had much of a chance to play yet<br/><br/>"

There were turns, there were near spills, but there wasn't anything in the way of true skill demonstrated.  During subtle breaks in the song, Koram would part ways with Sword and clap his hands once, then rejoin her, leading her awkwardly around the circle.  He was not dissatisfied with Sword's lack of polish, though;  Koram had been the first and last dance for many women, and women oft lack polish at these stages.  No, Koram grinned boyishly as he led Sword by holding her hips, and filled her ear with wonderful compliments such as:   ""There, you are getting it!"" and  ""You are an utter natural!""<br/><br/>Of course, these things might not have been true, but everyone knew that Koram was guilty of white lies from time to time."

While the problem of the town's wealth still existed there wasn't much they could do on a large scale. Part of the problem, as the barter described it, was that there was no one traveling through the town. The sooner the war ended, the faster there could be some travel here and more business.<br/><br/>At the table inside of the small tavern they sat down for their meal, some of the crew seemed strangely absent, but in the golden light of the warm tavern it seemed to be of less concern.

It was around 1930 then, and he quickly found the place to be the hunting grounds of several factions of vampires within the area.<br/><br/>Fortunately, a couple of failed attempts of fledgling vampires to feed on him, only to be met with magical assault on their very nature itself, made it known fairly quickly that he was NOT someone to be snacked upon. In fact, some of the middle-aged vampires grew to respect him and see him as an ally, although the elders in general viewed him with complete distrust, and the fledglings with utter fear. Still, it gave him an opportunity to build a small 'territory' for himself, buying out a small, closed-off office building and slowly drawing more mages to the area. Within time, they had grown a small foothold, and Steven had grown to the level of Archmastery, very quickly becoming recognized as the leader of the magical types within the area.<br/><br/>For the most part he has just been keeping an eye on the vampires, making sure they don't cross any lines or impede on his territory or the territory of mages he is on good terms with. He has several apprentices, and even has a Vampire or two that serve him directly. In addition to that, he has mastered life and death so fully that he has granted himself near immortality, and if nothing extenuating happens, he could live for millennia unimpeded by the ravages of age, assuming nobody takes a more 'mortal' approach to ending his reign.<br/><strong>Stats: </strong><br/><em>Power- 11 (As the Head Archmage, his power reserves are enhanced because of magical connection from underlings)<br/>Resistance- 8<br/>Physicality- 4<br/>Mentality- 11</em><br/><strong>Dispositions:</strong><br/><em>Humanistic Vampires</em>- ""It's respectable to see those undead that realize a part of them is still human.

Cluracan<br/><strong>Type:</strong>Mage<br/><strong>Archetype:</strong>Necromancer<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Pansexual<br/><strong>Age:</strong>87 (appears in her late twenties)<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><br/><br/>(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/Mages/Chaos_Mage_by_Sergon.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>Elder [Fallen]<br/><strong>History/Bio:</strong><br/><br/>Ms. Cluracan came into magic naturally, though her immediate family had absolutely no affinity for the art.  Her childhood was plagued by death, with relatives, friends, and animals frequently falling ill and wasting away to nothing.  It was rare that one was able to find an insect in the house that hadn't simply died without explanation, and her windowsill was frequently piled high with their corpses.  As she got older it also became a resting place for the small birds that feasted on them.  Then that of the neighbor's cat as it went after the fallen birds.<br/><br/>Her family never had any reason to suspect Thessaly of being cursed, for she was always bright and cheerful no matter what the hour.  She was not wholly unaffected by the tragedy that seemed to follow her--she broke down for days when her grandmother passed on after a three day visit--but did not allow it to crush her spirit.  She never lied and only genuine smiles could be seen on her face.  It wasn't until the onset of puberty that panic began to fall over the house.<br/><br/>Suddenly the entire building seemed to be infested with insects.  Thessaly's window teemed with them, and it wasn't at all rare for her to awake in the middle of the night to find them staring eagerly up at her from her chest.  The entire house was evacuated and the exterminators were called in.  The house was pumped up with gas until it came out the chimney, but it seemed to have no effect on the intruders.  It was eventually decided that remaining there would be impossible given the circumstances, and the family moved from Ireland to London in an attempt to escape their odd misfortune.<br/><br/>The same thing happened where ever they went, and it only became worse.  It began with insects and continued on to small rodents and birds, and eventually cats and dogs.  It was only when a hunk of roadkill began stalking the girl about that the family realized why their pest problems could not be solved by natural means; they were attempting to kill what was already dead.  Their attempts to confront their daughter proved fruitless, for the girl knew nothing of her innate talents.  Exorcisms were conducted in secret, to no avail.  The health of her parents declined dramatically as they desperately attempted to find help for their accursed offspring, while the girl's beauty only continued to grow from year to year.  When she was seventeen they finally succumbed to the unnatural disease that had settled in their bones.<br/><br/>They were up and about again before the bodies had even gone cold.<br/><br/>Distraught to the point of hysterics, Thessaly fled from the moving corpses of her father and mother and never looked back.  She attempted to kill herself repeatedly, first by jumping from a bridge.  She was pulled to shore by a couple of vagrants with vacant looks in their eyes and skin as pale as the grave.  Victims of overdose that had died hours before in a makeshift tent beneath the bridge.  She attempted the same with the very pills they had taken, but they turned to ash on her tongue.  Electrocution in the tub met with failure as a power outage swept over the neighborhood.  Suicide by train was delayed when a series of devastating cave-ins in the subway tunnels closed off the London Underground from the public.  Every gun she put to her head jammed up, every poison turned to honey, and every blade was too dull to pierce her skin.  The final straw was the absurd timing of a truck filled with goose-feather mattresses that passed by just moments before she would have struck the pavement after leaping from a thirty story building.  She survived with minor fractures.<br/><br/>Realizing the futility of things, the girl decided to research her own strange condition.  This would continue for decades as she consumed every bit of occult literature she could get her hands on.  This fascination eventually gained the attention of certain mages that recognized her for what she was, whereupon she agreed to join their order in an attempt to understand, contain, and control her own morbid abilities.<br/><br/>Suffice it to say that she was an extraordinarily quick learner, outpacing many of her teachers in the art of necromancy.  Though she had no ability beyond interacting with, manipulating, and raising the dead, she was creative enough to master a wide range of powers.  Eventually her own desire for power and knowledge drew the ire and criticism of her peers, and she left the ranks of her own volition to pursue her own path as a mage.<br/><br/><strong>Stats:</strong><br/><em>Power- 10<br/>Resistance- 10<br/>Physicality- 3<br/>Mentality- 8</em><br/><strong>Dispositions:</strong><br/><em>Humanistic

mortals, and also extremely fatal to them.  Death comes quickly to smaller animals, while sentient creatures may take months or years to succumb to its effects.  Other mages and vampires are not wholly immune to the effect, but generally only feel pangs of severe nausea and other flu-like symptoms.  Prolonged exposure is unhealthy to just about all creatures great and small.</li><li>Thessaly's greatest creation is the art of Combat Necromancy, something that she was widely ostracized for before her self-imposed exile.  The spirits and bodies of the dead are fused together in an unholy amalgamation of horrors that can then be held magically to her own body, creating clothes and weapons out of their own organic or ethereal structures (see pictured).  Unlike many mages she prefers close-combat above all else, supplementing her own human frailties with the strengths of her cadaverous hordes.</li></ul>"

The majority of her childhood was delightfully ordinary, though Laura always seemed to have a craving for learning and reading, especially in regards to fiction. Almost every week she had a new novel in her hands, eagerly drinking in imaginary worlds and fantastic adventures, much to her parents’ glee. Of course, such a care free environment didn’t last indefinitely, and eventually she entered the curious world of high-school.<br/><br/>Laura had always been charismatic, and that didn’t stop while delving into the last few years of her mandatory learning requirements. From cheerleading to track to studying, she was always at the top of her group. Not that she didn’t have her own issues, though they were usually more social than academic in nature. Commonly she’d not get along with several boy or girls, and with no apparent reason. She always seemed to get into some argument or another when not being watched by a teacher with a classmate, no matter if they hadn’t done anything specifically to her. She simply had a “feeling” about other students she didn’t like.<br/><br/>It was only in her 3rd year, her Junior year, that she became aware of her own abilities. On a regular October morning, after answering a question one of her professors asked, she heard a distinct “Bitch!” from the back of the classroom. She had turned angrily and asked who’d said it, yet no one, even the teacher knew what she was talking about.<br/><br/>Weeks passed before the occurrences became more and more regular. At first she thought it was some sort of mental breakdown, that she was hearing voices, yet more and more she began to believe she was actually hearing people’s thoughts; it wasn’t long before she lost control of her ability. Almost constantly she began to pick up the drifting thoughts of others every hour of day, and it wasn’t long before her mood started fouling. It wasn’t only that, but she began to experience recurring headaches that simply wouldn’t go away since she couldn’t stop reading people’s minds.<br/><br/>Laura ditched classes, disappeared form campus, and even ran away from home on occasion, much to her parents’ worry. The pain, the flow of people’s memories into her mind was almost overbearing, driving her slowly insane. Yet there was still hope, and thankfully an experienced mage recognized her for what she was. Soreas, or so he called himself, helped lessen her ability, and taught her control when he found her sitting quietly in a park by herself.<br/><br/>Young and powerful were the two most common words fixed to the mage, Laura Stone. Her power grew tremendously over the years, from simple emphatic abilities to visions of the future. By the time she achieved her bachelor’s degree in theoretical physics, she was already one of the most powerful mages in the city. Archmage was the title given to her, yet nevertheless people were uncertain of this excitable girl. So very inexperienced, yet so powerful and bright made her dangerous, especially to the older mages, some of which had survived centuries. Nevertheless, Laura had proven herself, though she was still uncertain of her own feelings on the matter.<br/><br/><strong>Recent History:</strong>Besides exploring her powers and delving into the past, Laura has been juggling between her normal human life and her newer, more fantastic one. On one side she’s in a post graduate program in an University, trying to continue on her path of education, while on the other she’s dealing with the almost constant threat of the vampires mingling among them, as well as the power-hungry mages that surround her.<br/><br/>Donning the alias of Cassandra among her secretive colleagues, she’s acquired her own “territory”, making certain to keep it from her parent’s knowledge. Using her powers allowed her to easily make wise investments and easy currency without needing to borrow from her parents. A rather large structure in the middle of a strip mall was what she’d bought, naming it the “Mage’s Tower.” Of course, it was more of a square than a tower, mimicking Borders in it’s function and look.<br/><br/>The bookstore was certainly very large, three stories tall containing rows upon rows of books, from current releases to ones centuries old. While every book in the world certainly wasn’t contained within, there was a tremendously good selection, rivaling libraries. Within a corner of the first floor of the structure was a smaller building, a coffee shop with its long window tinted black. For whatever reason, mortals simply wouldn’t go near it, though there was a counter right outside it along with tables that served regulars coffee and allowed people to sit and read in relative comfort.<br/><br/>Personality: Laura is first and foremost daring. Young and still so inexperienced with her entire life still before her, she can’t help but be curious about everything. Testing her abilities, learning about the dark and mysterious vampires, meeting new peers, both men and women of massive power, is simply exciting for her. Her powers even mimic her desire to explore and learn, from her mind reading abilities to the very fact that she can bend space and time around her.<br/><br/>Laura Stone is naïve in a sense, not even coming close to reaching the ages of some of the other mages, and especially the Archmages. Despite this she is extremely perceptive, and little escapes her intense gaze. Besides being a little too interested about things, she’s fiercely loyal. The idea of abandoning someone or betraying someone, whether or not it benefits her greatly, is something she can’t and wouldn’t even contemplate.<br/><br/>Humanistic is probably one of the terms one would label her with. She doesn’t believe herself to be “more than human” and neither does she consider other’s to be such. Even vampires she considers human, if changed drastically; not that she isn’t without a certain amount of pride, of course. While she’d never harm a “mortal”, or even another mage or vampire for that matter, she does believe herself better than others. Challenges, whether an impossible seeming task or a duel against a powerful mage, are things she will simply not back down from, at least if she believes it’s important. At her core, any difficult task can be overcome so long as she gives it her all.<br/><br/><strong>Stats:</strong><br/><em>Power – 10<br/>Resistance – 7<br/>Physicality – 6<br/>Mentality – 10</em><br/><br/><strong>Dispositions:</strong><br/><em>Humanistic Vampires: They are to be praised for the bravery and courage they show by fighting their new beastial nature, especially with the majority of vampires that seem to simply revel in it. I truly wish there was something that could be done for these poor souls, but I haven’t found it.<br/><br/>Fallen Vampires:[/b] Glorified sociopaths. They think they’re above and beyond mortals, but they’re simply nothing but senseless killers. Even the label of monster is above these lowlifes. They should be put down like dogs as quickly as able.<br/><br/>Humanistic Mages: I don’t really know what to say about them. Are mages inhuman? I always thought we were humans but a little more, and this group of people seem sensible to understand that.<br/><br/>Fallen Mages:</em>These are dangerous and calculating beings that even I fear, though without a doubt they need to be stopped. The old adage of “power corrupts” seems to be certainly true with these individuals, and they may very well destroy the entire city, if not the world with their hunger for more power.<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong>Among a variety of abilities, her most commonly known ones are mind reading, telekinesis, pre/post cognition, telepathy, and levitation. She does not, no matter what anyone might say, have the ability to control minds; it’s something she’s never been able to grasp correctly yet."

He revealed to Silva that he possessed extraordinary magical talent, which is how he survived the vampire attack. The Archmage trained Silva as a mage, and they hunted vampires together until the Archmage was killed during a mission. Silva was 16 at the time, and wandered the world ever since.<br/><br/>Silva travels aimlessly, his only goal being to help people against vampires wherever he encounters them.

For a while business progressed smoothly and over time Kathryn gained considerable respect from other Rectoris until rumor amongst them implied she was the source of the deaths of some men suspected of rape.<br/><br/>Inspectors were baffled, no restraints were detected, and the victums even had calm expressions on their face, like they had drifted away in their sleep. No device nor beast they knew of could manage such a thing.<br/><br/>These errie deaths had triggered many myths still well known in current times.<br/>Although previous deaths did hint at vampires being the cause, to other vampires this was as blatant a statement to the world any could make. Humanistic vampires were outraged and demanded her extermination, however the elders knew bringing one to bear who was so talented in mind control would be an messy affair and instead choose to make the consequences political. To their accusations of having fallen Kathryn made no effort at mind control to placate matters, preferring to try and convince her kin of the justice she imposed on who she knew raped or blackmailed several of her human workers.<br/><br/>Although she had some supporters, most were not convinced of how she taken matters into her own hands, and although not officially deemed<em> fallen </em>Kathryn has been mistakenly considered one that may be likely to be tempted. Although Kathryn does actively prey on humanity, she does genuinely desire to aid humanity's progression towards utopia and does feeds only from those she believes are ones who frustrate its appearance.<br/><br/><strong>Dispositions</strong><br/><br/><strong>Humanistic Vampires</strong>- Model examples of Vampire behavior. To Kathryn these are Vampires that do not feed on people and try not to cause them grief or if they do choose only ones that are cruel to towards others, thus doing humanity a service. Kathryn considers herself and by almost most means, is a humanistic vampire.<br/><br/><strong>Fallen Vampires </strong>- These are the creatures that give all Vampires a bad name. Creating akwardness to vampires to improve cultural relations. A very young vampire may not know how to be better and some effort to quickly correct their behaviour may be warrented if they do show regret. Otherwise they should be disposed of .. quickly.<br/><br/><strong>Humanistic Mages </strong>(Have not encountered many) Possible friend.<br/><br/><strong>Fallen Mages</strong>Dangerous, probably pose the greatest threat to herself. Something to be cautious of - kill them if possible.<br/><br/><strong>Mortals: </strong>Like pawns of the chessboard of the world. Quaint novelties and wondrous. Those who are naturally inclined to be cruel and malicious to others are considered prey to Kathyrn. Those that hold poetic love or love of live in their hearts or have a selfless ambition are ones Kathryn would try and give support and aid for - usually at a distance in a round about way. These are creatures one should best view as creatures between a rock and a hard place. Why make their life harder ? Those that do are effectively putting their hand up to Kathryn saying ""pick me - feed without any sour after taste of ethical issues""<br/><br/>"

The coast to the West is Westercoast where the city Rosemont sits. On the Eastern coast of Goldshore and the city Yervalds. In-between are forests, small towns, cities and the Desert.<br/><br/>Deep within the Forest of Greenwhich there developed a city of the Undead, a place viewed as vile by many and hidden right under the nose of the Pelorites. The city remained hidden and unseen for many a year. From the barren north the trumpets of war were sounded and great armies of undead marched over the land, making their way as far as the Fey wood before being pressed back by the armies from Yeveralds and the forces of the other cities. When the front was pushed back and the bands of undead were scattered, life returned to somewhat normal in Esterham.<br/><br/>The war was much further from the front steps of any of the city and consisted more of roving bands and proxy battles that yielded little in the way of results.<br/><br/>Still the city of Eostre was untouched by the tides of change and remained a quaint village. Many an adventurer retired or passed through the village and there were always stories being related by bards down at the Greybell Tavern in town.<br/><br/>One such adventurer<strong>Roland Rengard</strong>decided that the end of his career as a traveling adventurer didn't have to be the end of his money making. He started a group under the name<strong>Acquisitions Incorporated</strong>and started the hunt for employees.<br/><br/>He approaches each of you and brings you aboard promising riches and treasure and even more importantly fame, prestige and respect. After all...all you've got to do is survive."

The man would still be wondering where his bride was, likely thinking many things, none likely to be the truth however.  Mesmerizing the mortals about the reception to not recall events or notice her was easy. Explaining all the crimes the man did concerning the nations he exploited to the bride ... less so.<br/><br/>Kathryn could have willed the woman to be calm the entire time but seeing true emotions came in handy to ground oneself.

Even so, the usual methods of extracting cooperation were lost on her. Any sort of sexual scandal that might be attributed to her, she was more than willing to admit to gladly, and most anything else as well.<br/><br/>She looked away from Kathryn finally, to allow her the time to think. She did, however decide that it was an appropriate time to change her appearence. She generally kept her birth form, but she'd spent a few centuries here or there in others.<br/><br/>Her form seemed to burst into white whisps of smoke, though all of this seemed unnoticed by other patrons, and when she reformed she looked, well, much less out of place, but still quite noticable, even her black leather had changed, now white cloth.<br/><br/>(http://www.hairfinder.com/hairshows/hairdresser9.jpg)"

I suppose I should explain myself"", he begins, now looking towards her, arms crossed, ""To be blunt, the last<em>mage</em>that tried to summon me with an underling lost the underling as well as half their territory because of it"", he explains, ""In other words, it is a direct insult amongst mages to try to make first contact with an underling unless you are absolutely certain they arb eneath you; in other words, doing so implies you find someone under you"", he explains, offering a similarly faked smile.<br/><br/>""Jana here<em>did</em>point out to me, though, who you are, and the fact that you have no direct experience with mages, and thus why I reconsidered. I apologize for the manner of my response, I often forget that not everyone has the same sort of...tradition"", he explains, ""Regardless, since we've already met, don't worry about it in the future; it's more acceptable for acquaintances to deliver messages that way"", he says<br/><br/>Part of the reason he'd forgotten most vampires don't work that way was because Lex had met him up-close; she hadn't risked insulting him because of that. Lana was met in person as well, as were the one or two other vampires he kept in contact with. In other words, he had become used to vampires honoring that traditional manner of meeting someone.<br/><br/>As the man comes in to tell them to buy something or get out, he frowned angrily, having thought he made things clear. Regardless, it seemed Kathryn was taking care of it, which was good. Still, as she left the room to do so, the door swung shut as shadows enveloped it, locking it magically.<br/><br/>""I very much dislike interruptions, don't you?"", he comments idley towards Kathryn.<br/><br/>""Anyway, you can give me money if you wish, I definitely won't feel offended by that"", he replies, grinning slightly, ""And yes, Jana has told me the basic information about who you are"", he adds with a nod, ""Which worries me slightly, to be honest. Elders are powerful, and you all are the one type of individual in this city that can make me fear for my life"", he explains, making it clear that she's not the only one that looks longingly to the strengths of the other 'group' within the city.<br/><br/>""Regardless, if you have not yet found out through other<em>channels</em>, I am Steven, Head Archmage of the city, and this is one of my assistants, Jana"", he explains<br/><br/>""A pleasure to meet you in person, Kathryn"", Jana says to the elder,<strong>far</strong>more humbly than Steven's introduction. She actually seemed to be somewhat enamored with the elder, looking to her almost longingly, meriting a curious glance from Steven.<br/><br/>He listens closely to the explanation regarding Element before responding, ""I am aware of her...and I am watching her"", he says, though not giving specific explanation, ""There is always a reason for when I am in vampiric territory; she was that reason. I am not sure I wish to allow Lex to<em>teach</em>her in whatever regard she plans"", he explains<br/><br/>""As it is...I would prefer to at least teach her the basics of things myself before handing her over to a vampire. No offense meant, of course, but you simply don't have the expertise with how magic works for us to help her in the early stages""<br/><br/>Surprisingly enough, at her little trick with the card and the comments afterwards, he actually laughs, leaning forward, ""Impressive, Kathryn"", he says with a smirk. With that, he eyes the business card, memorizing it as it transforms into a shadow, being absorbed into his own, ""Thank you"", he says after that<br/><br/>""What else was it you needed to discuss?"", he asks curiously<br/>"

Things were going to change in Tannis, the real question wasn't wether they were going to change or not, but who, in the end,  would ultimately be the arbiter of the change? Who would decide how the city ought to be? She was, as she'd said, more than willing to give over some of that control to others, partners, as it were. The Arch-Mage, who she had no doubt could be a powerful ally, and an important conspirator in her designs, and whose goals, she thought, would ultimately have their roots in the community of mages. The fellow elder, whose interests lay with humanity, and the softening, or perhaps mediating of the vampire kind in Tannis. And, of course, herself, whose vision, disguised to any but herself, would drive the city to its change.

Entering the lobby, one found a directory listing several legitimate-sounding businesses explaining many of the building’s unusual features such as the roof antenna (Radio Test, Ltd.), the massive corporate secretary pool, mostly men, on the ground floor that served as building security (Omnium Corporation), and the occupants of the higher floors (Delany Bros. (1940) and Universal Import & Export). All visitors were directed to the lobby’s main reception desk, occupied by the extremely able Ms. E. Twinings.<br/><br/>People looking to have their portable stereos repaired or have some package dispatched overseas or find out from Ms. Twinings that the offices are overworked at the moment and not accepting any new business, and are recommended to a nearby business offering the services sought at good service quality and cost.<br/><br/>Inside the sixth floor corner office, however, all was not right in the world. M, head of MI6, was pouring over the current service roster of the Investigations & Enforcement Division. This Division, personally overseen by M, housed the MI6 field agents assigned across the globe to combat the communist and criminal elements that threatened the free world. That fight had become a little more difficult today.<br/><br/>It was early evening, April 1st, and just about everyone had gone home for the evening, and the building was running on the skeleton crew that saw the agency through the evening. Of course, nearly everyone in the agency was permanently on-call every day of the year for emergencies just such as the one causing M to pour over the service roster. Pickings were slim; it had been a rough start of the year. The Soviets were active in Afghanistan, the Middle East, and North Africa. Two 00s had been killed in January, and two more were on extended medical leave. The breadth of KGB activity had dispersed many of the agents to Station Houses in Europe and South America, and still others were on joint assignment with the CIA in Southeast Asia.<br/><br/>M made his decision; one he was too prepared for to regret. His thumb depressed the first button on the electronic box on his red-leather topped desk. “Ms. Moneypenny,” he began, knowing she was sitting in the anteroom the connecting door directly in front of him, “Bring in 1169, 1198, 1136, and 1112. Schedule a briefing in one hour’s time, and bring in Q as well.” His thumb left the machine without even obtaining an acknowledgment.

A chorus of cheers or groans filled the air, depending on the call of the roulette dealer, and Savannah St. James was in the thick of it. She had a fair-sized stack of chips in front of her; she was doing well tonight, and hoped to continue that luck all evening.<br/><br/>There were several men near her, all vying for her exclusive attention. It amused her to no end, watching them compete with each other to see who would win the next smile, the next laugh. Only one would end up in her bed, and he was watching her from across the roulette table.<br/><br/>“Place your bets, please,” the dealer called. Savannah placed several of her chips on 36 Red, her white satin elbow length gloves showing off the diamond bracelet wrapped around one slender wrist. Her gown was a sapphire blue, and hugged her curves to obscene perfection, outlining every inch of her body from breast to thigh. The hem fell to barely brush the floor, although the racy slit up the left side of her dress showed a great deal of shapely leg and thigh. Almost too much, really, since the slit ended just below the tops of her stockings. It was a backless number, and the smooth, creamy pale expanse of her back seemed to accentuate the deep blue of her gown to her benefit.<br/><br/>The dealer spun the roulette wheel and sent the ball in the opposite direction just as a tap on her shoulder drew her attention. Savannah turned to address the white-coated waiter, who held a small silver tray in one hand. “Yes?” she said, ignoring the cheer that went up as the ball bounced into a number.<br/><br/>“A message for you, Ms. St. James,” the man said with a slight bow, his eyes twinkling with appreciation as he covertly flicked a glance down her body. Savannah let him look.<br/><br/>Plucking the cream coloured card from the tray, she thanked the man and asked that her car be brought around before he melded back into the crowd. Savannah unfolded the message, her gray-blue eyes quickly scanning the contents. A spark of excitement ignited inside her at the message, her full lips spreading into an eager smile as she lifted her dark head. “If you will excuse me, gentlemen,” she said, turning back to the table to cash out her chips much to the groaning complaint of her partners, “it seems as though I have a prior engagement.”<br/><br/>Casting an apologetic glance to the handsome, dark-haired man across the table, Savannah smiled and turned to leave the club, her body moving with a sensual grace that was part-learned, part-natural. Gathering her wrap, she tucked it about her bare shoulders and stepped out into the night.<br/><br/>Her car, a red Toyota MR-2, was waiting for her, and she tipped the valet as she slid herself into the front seat. She felt only a little put-out at having her evening interrupted, but the anticipation of meeting with M rid her of that fairly quickly. Revving the engine, she pulled into traffic and made her way to MI6 Headquarters.<br/><br/>An hour later, she was already striding through the front doors of the MI6 office building, flashing her identification to the guards on duty and making her way to the elevator. Her heels clicked against the floor as she moved, and once the elevator doors slid open, she stepped in and hit the button for the 6th floor. It didn’t take long for her to reach it, and she took a breath, one gloved hand reaching up to pat the elegant twist her chocolate brown hair was pinned in as she stepped from the elevator.<br/><br/>She was in Miss Moneypenny’s presence just a moment or two later, and gave the woman a friendly smile as she was told to go right in. Moving around the other woman’s desk, Savannah pushed open the connecting door and stepped through, closing it behind her before taking the few short steps to the second padded door. She knocked once, briefly, and then stepped inside.<br/><br/>“You wanted to see me, M?”"

The frustration of  the enemy changing their codes, the satisfaction of breaking their new ones; the man who was known to his colleagues as Stewart Mills, and superiors as 1198, knew this, and reveled in it. He had crafted his whole persona very carefully to aid in not only that, but to disguise himself. To the untrained eye, most people would have assumed him to be a student at Imperial College, or maybe, at the most, a newly minted teacher. Stewart looked up from his book as he heard the telephone ring. Placing a bookmark to show his place, he walked over to the telephone and picked it up.<br/><br/>""Mills' Residence, how may I help you?"" he asked in his polite, modulated voice. The moment he heard the message, his whole demeanour changed, albeit subtly. He stood up straighter and nodded. ""All right, tell Uncle Arthur that I'd be delighted to attend.

Putting down the telephone, he bustled to his bedroom to change into more suitable attire, this being a plain looking black two piece suit with a white shirt and dark red tie. Putting on his polished shoes, raincoat and hat, he called out to his landlady that he was going out for the evening, and made his way to the nearest Underground station, near Kew Gardens.<br/><br/>An hour later saw him entering the office, waving hello to Miss Twinings as he was searched and cleared, before making his way up to M's Office, and bowing in greeting to Miss Moneypenny before taking hs trilby off.

The other two agents were already sitting in one of three chairs directly opposite M’s large, red leather-topped desk.<br/><br/>M was a navy man, probably in his 60s. He had served in the War, and had been an initial member in the very first post-war intelligence agency established by the British government. Anyone in his presence was immediately taken with the intelligence and charisma in his grey eyes. He often smoked a pipe in his office, betrayed by the tell tale smell of burnt tobacco that never completely ventilated away. Today he was clearly concerned: he suit was ruffled, his eyes were tired, and his pipe was in-hand. As the three agents walked in, clearly showing their after-hours leanings, he knew he was working with the newest operatives in Investigations & Enforcement. M was a man who played his instincts. Those instincts made him choose the numbers from the roster he did, and thus he had no qualms in starting his briefing.<br/><br/>“I’m afraid I have some rather bad news,” M cleared his throat, snapping the agents back to reality, and drawing their attention back to the old sailor behind the great desk. He waited for Caitlin to sit down before continuing. “004 is missing and presumed dead deep inside Russia. We have no report of his capture, so we must expect the worst.” M puffed on is pipe and let the shock of the pronouncement sink in before going on.<br/><br/>“You are going into the Soviet Union to find out what happened to 004, and why he was unable to complete his mission. He was sent into Siberia to retrieve a prototype of a microchip which had been stolen recently by the KGB from Zorin Microelectronics here in the UK. The chip is critical to the future defence of England because it is impervious to the EMP...electromagnetic pulse...of an atomic explosion.<br/><br/>“In the event of an atomic war, the UK’s electronic defences and communications networks – all of which make extensive use of microchip technology – would be able to continue operation if this chip is used. On the other hand, the enemy’s comparable technology would be rendered useless by the Pulse.” M paused for a moment to puff on his billiard, straight-grain pipe. As a result the agents became more aware of the scent of tobacco filling the room.<br/><br/>“Zorin Microelectronics has undergone an extensive security check, and it appears the chip prototype was stolen by a KGB agent working on the inside. 004 was assigned to infiltrate the Soviet microchip research facility in Werchojansk, Siberia. That was where our intelligence determined the stolen chip was taken.<br/><br/>“004 reported the chip was indeed located there. He was ordered to break into the plant, steal the chip and any copies that had been made of it, plus the paperwork dealing with the technical data contained on the chip.” M then pointed out a map on a nearby table, and moved to it before continuing the briefing.<br/><br/>(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2497/4042557034_b7e6aa52d3_o.jpg)<br/><br/>“He arrived in Siberia two weeks ago. Yesterday he reported his mission accomplished and noted he was escaping on land via snowscooter. He was making for Ust-Jansk at the mouth of the Jana River on the Arctic Sea in order to rendezvous with a Royal Navy sub, when he stopped – or was stopped – for some reason. He did not arrive on time for the rendezvous. The last contact with him had indicated no trouble.<br/><br/>“You will fly to Anchorage tonight; your flight leaves at 2am. From there you will be inserted by special transport to any location of your choice along the Jana River, and paradropped with Q Branch equipment. Insertion will be at night, just before dawn, so prepare yourselves for all eventualities.<br/><br/>“You must find 004 before the Soviets do and see if he has the microchip. If he doesn’t, you must find it, and steal it yourselves. If he does, return with it, and if he’s alive, bring him back if you can.<br/><br/>“004 was equipped with minimal kit, so you will have some trouble finding him. He did carry a Scarab tracer, but we fear it has failed. Your Polaris will be able to pick up his signal if it’s still broadcasting. His exact location is unknown, and you will have to plan a search.<br/><br/>“We can assume the KGB will be looking for him, and our only hope is surprise. Find him before they do.” M looked each of the agents in the eyes to make sure the gravity of the situation was understood. “Any questions?""<br/>"

We know that 004 retrieved the chip and had escaped from Werchojansk, at the southern end of the Jena River. His destination was the delta of the river here, north of Ust-Jansk, where the Royal Navy planned to pick him up. Obviously,” Q turned away from the map, and to the agents,  he was unsuccessful. He disappeared here somewhere in the Jena River Valley.<br/><br/>“A Q Branch minisub has been dispatched in order to aid the mission. However, the Jena River is frozen at this time of year, so it cannot penetrate further south than Ust-Kuiga. It has been camouflaged to subversively enter the river near Nishnejansk.<br/><br/>“An American SR-71 has been specially modified to aid in operations such as this. From Anchorage, the flight will drop you to a point of your choice in the river valley. Unfortunately we lost contact with 004, and we don’t know how far from Werchojansk before contact was broken.”<br/><br/>Q then presented the technical readout of the vehicle they would be using. “This little number is the Polaris Indy 600 Snowscooter, or snowmobile as our American friends call it. It will be dropped in with you for your use as transportation. Time is short so I haven’t been able to fit it with any of the usual goodies, but it does carry a satellite navigation system accurate to within a yard, and can double as a tracking system for our standard homing devices. 004 was equipped with a Scarab homing device with a range of 25 miles, but it is unlikely it’s still operating given the cold and the length of time. The snowscooter also comes equipped with the Heckler & Koch MP5 submachinegun. It’ll give you a boost in firepower should it be needed.” Q offered a knowing grin. “Right, six fuel reloads will also be dropped with you to extend your range. Now then, you’ll have to destroy the snowscooter somehow so it doesn’t fall into the hands of the Russians because it won’t fit into the sub.”<br/><br/>(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2651/4060345201_91c14d39b0_o.jpg)<br/><br/>Q reached into his pocket, and pulled out what looked like a gold-coloured tube of lipstick, and handed it to 1169, “The Echo Tracer. Range?...oh about 19 miles. Activate it near the rendezvous point so the minisub can find you.”<br/><br/>“Thank you, Q,” M answered, using the opportunity to take over the briefing once more by answering 1136’s question. “His hourly transmissions ceased at 10:00am this morning,” M’s words were both concerned and troubled, “over 10 hours ago.”<br/>"

Her mother passed during the child birth of her younger sister and her father was abusive to both of them, blaming the younger child for his wife's death. Matilda stuck up for her sister when she could, but for much of the things that occurred, was too young to do anything about it. Her father worked as a merchant and made enough money for them to live in the Ivy District.<br/><br/>Though they were rich and could afford many things, her father drank heavily and took out his frustrations on them. She leanred the trade of sailing riding along with her father to oversee some of the bigger deals as the captains took a liking to the young girl and she and her sister became somewhat of a ship mascot on some voyages.<br/><br/>At the age of sixteen she grew fed up with her father's mistreatment and stole a vessel from his fleet and set sail with her sister. Though the ship was small, it was too much for the inexperienced, young girls to run. They drifted for days before being picked up by a pirate vessel, The Roaringburn. Seeing as how the girls were too young to be a threat and seemed to not want to go home, the pirates kept them on board and even used them in some of their schemes. Of course it was a game to Matilda's younger sister and Matilda just wanted to help out.<br/><br/>About a year and a half after taking the girls in, the crew of the ship attempted to raid the Alkenstar city state by using Matilda as bait. She was ""rescued"" by the guard and presumed dead by the rest of the crew. By this time she'd become slightly more hardened but wasn't so dumb as to give herself away. She lived in the city, working under the guise of a gunsmith for a long while. Guns were the weapon the Roaringburn and its crew had come to take.<br/><br/>The man she apprenticed under came to be a friend and the closest thing to a real father she ever had. When he died she packed up her things and headed back East to the coast to find transport in Quantium. She took with her a gun of her own devising, a single barreled masterwork pistol. The sea journey back to Absalom was marked with little to no issues and when she arrived she immediately set out looking for clues of her sister and the crew of the Roaringburn.<br/><br/>The ship's name came up all over and she fell back in with the sea dogs in an attempt to find her sister. This time she had the coin to assemble her own crew and set sail to find her sister, using piracy as a fuel for wealth. Several years passed and when she was twenty five years old and at the height of her career she had a run in with a rival vessel which later turned out to be the Roaringburn.<br/><br/>The two ships stopped fighting as Matilda ordered a surrender of her vessel, when the two ships docked with one another it was discovered that the Roaringburn was captained by her own sister. After a brief reunion, the two realized that both their ships were in danger of being destroyed by a maelstrom. The Roaringburn seemed lost and the crews consolidated onto Matilda's vessel, the Giruvegan.<br/><br/>She sailed the maelstrom, earning her the nickname. Her sister ceded her control and became first mate and the pair continued sailing for two more years together. The authorities caught up with them and they were separated and the boat lost. But Matilda, who was jailed in Absalom was pardoned because of her father's intervention. Without thanking him or really acknowledging him, she went north to the Vale thinking that there might be clues there as to her sister and the rest of the crew.<br/><br/>It was evident that someone framed them as the heist they were caught on wasn't their fault. Clues of who the person might be seemed to lie in the Vale.<br/><br/>-Family-<br/>Mother: Holly Pond (deceased)<br/>Father: Bartholomew Pond<br/>Sister: Nadia Pond<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/>Matilda is clever in a manner of speaking, but she tends to be loud, overly sexual and open and a bit of a drunk. She makes it a point to be a show off, a flirt and has little in the way of shame. If she thinks she can, she will flirt or talk her way out of fights. But she's a capable leader, fighter, and gunsmith. She will often try and use her looks to get her way, usually trying to find some way to show off her chest.<br/><br/>While she makes it a point to remain pretty neutral on most matters, the one thing she can't stand to see is children in trouble, probably as a symptom of her own upbringing and relationship with her father and sister.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://imageftw.com/uploads/20100530/Matilda.jpg)</div></div>Matilda stands 5'8'', has red hair and purple eyes. Though she's half-elvan, neither of her parents were full elves. Her mother being the one whom she gets the elf genes from. That being said, her ears aren't all that pointy and if her eyes weren't purple she would be hard to pick out. She's beautiful and younger looking, also due to Elf lineage and she's not a very physically strong woman, though she makes up for it in quickness and flexibility. For the most part she's slender but athletically toned.<br/><br/>Matilda wears a tell-tale tri-corner hat, usually keeping her hair pulled up into the hat. She loves lavish clothes, furs, dresses and will often wear them if she finds them, even into battle. She has a tattoo on her hip bone just below her abdomen on the right side of a sprig of Holly.

At first glance anyone can see he is of Cheliaxian descent with pale white skin, enticing green eyes, and long pitch black hair that falls just past his shoulders. Occasionally he ties his hair back but more often then not it is as wild and untamed as he seems to be. Beneath his clothes one can find a few scars around his chest and stomach as well as a single tattoo on his back in the shape of a massive dragon. His clothes vary but he often wears fine garments with vibrant and warm colors like red, yellow, and white that are worn so people will pay attention to him. His armor and weapons seem mundane at first glance but Kayven often hangs intricately carved token's on them as a form of decoration.<br/><br/>Personality: Kayven is many things but the most obvious parts of his personality is his sense of freedom and justice which seems odd due to his obvious ancestry. He is at heart a good person who tries to do the right thing no matter what the cost and he dislikes it when rules and laws get in the way of doing what he thinks is right.<br/><br/>Beyond his morales and ethics, people find him open minded, thoughtful, charitable, and most of all entertaining. He enjoys bringing smiles to others faces whether its through a joke, a fantastic story, or a tankard of mead.<br/><br/>He likes to fight, yet he prefers when battle is in more of a competitive nature. A friendly duel between friends or fighting competition are things he enjoys but at the same time he's never shy about drawing his sword and spilling blood in the defense of others or himself. He only dislikes the necessity of those situations<br/><br/>He sends letters back home to his family in Westcrown every month or so, often apologizing for his sudden disappearance and to let them know how he is doing. Sometimes he wishes he could return to them just to visit but the road the call of the people are often what makes him keep wandering.<br/><br/>Background: Kayven grew up in Westcrown, Cheliax. He was born into a middle class family where his father, Orvat, was an officer in the City watch and his mother, Mayong, a local healer and herbalist. Among his two siblings were his older sister Mayla, who worked as another City guard and his younger brother Ryl who was training to become a doctor when Kayven left his home. Early on in his life Kayven was enamored with his father, and later on sisters trade and took to learning how to use a sword and shield when he was just a boy. Furthermore like many boys he dreamed of one day traveling the world, slaying beasts that threatened peoples lives, and making a true and lasting difference for the poeple. All lofty goals for just a boy and for one from the nation of Cheliax.<br/><br/>When Kayven came of age he offered his sword arm to the city watch of Westcrown, like his father and sister before him and was hired on as a novice. Like everyone in such a beginning position and without a powerful family to ease his way into greater positions of power Kayven spent many cold nights capturing thieves and keeping the peace in Westcrown. However over a few years of service he noticed that things weren't as they should have been. There were more then a few times where he was punished for bringing certain thieves to justice and despite all the evidence he and his colleagues had collected others were pronounced innocent in the courts. When he saw this seedy underbelly of favoritism Kayven felt the few victories over crime that he managed were hallow indeed.<br/><br/>On one final night in Westcrown six months ago Kayven cornered a known rapist who he had caught red handed three times before yet always escaped justice. In that dark alley, Kayven raised his sword, ready to slay the man where he stood to keep the people safe and in that moment he realized how hallow all his work had become. He had fought, bleed, and exhausted himself for the country and it would not repay him. He decided that things needed to change and for the first time in his career he took justice into his own hands and slayed the man to spare Westcrown's citizens from further evil, an act that he regrets to this day. Not because he became a vigilante in that moment but because in hindsight he believed he could have handled the situation better and without spilling blood. That night when he returned home he packed his bags and left his family a note of his intentions. Since the fight for the country had become so Hallow he instead decided he would go on a journey and fight for himself as an adventurer<br/><br/>STR: 18 (+4)<br/>DEX: 14 (+2)<br/>CON: 14 (+2)<br/>INT: 10 (0)<br/>WIS: 10 (0)<br/>CHA: 14 (+2)<br/><br/>Human Abilities:<br/>+2 to one Ability score (Strength)<br/>Human bonus feat: Exoctic weapon profeciancy (Bastard sword)<br/>+1 skill point per level<br/><br/>Character/Campaign Traits: (2)<br/><br/>HP: 13<br/>AC:  (10 + 2 dex + armor + shield)<br/>Init: +2 (+2 dex)<br/>CMB: +5<br/>CMD: 17<br/>Speed: 20ft<br/><br/>Saves:<br/>Fortitude 4 (+2 base +2 Con)<br/>Reflex (+0 base)<br/>Will (+0 base)<br/><br/>BAB: +1<br/>Base Melee Atk: +5 (+1 base +4 str)<br/>Base Ranged Atk: +3 (+1 base +2 Dex)<br/><br/>Skills:<br/>Knowledge (dungeoneering): +4 (1 skill points +3 class skill bonus)<br/>Knowledge (engineering): +4 (1 skill points +3 class skill bonus)<br/>Perception: +4 (1 skill points +3 class skill bonus)<br/><br/>Feats (3):<br/>Human bonus feat: Exoctic weapon profeciancy (Bastard sword)<br/>Fighter bonus feat (1st): Stand still<br/>1st level feat: Combat reflexes<br/><br/>Languages: Common (Chelaxian)<br/><br/>Carrying Capacity:<br/>Light Load:  100<br/>Med Load: 101-200<br/>Heavy Load: 201-300<br/>Over Head: 300<br/>Off Ground: 600<br/>Push/Drag: 1500<br/><br/>Equipment:<br/><br/>---Weapons---<br/>Bastard sword (35 gp): 1d10+4 19-20/X2 6 lbs<br/>Warhammer (12 gp): 1d8+4 20/X3 5 lbs<br/>Dagger (2 gp): 1d4+4 19-20/X2 1 lbs<br/><br/>---Ammunition---<br/>Javelin x3 (3 gp): 1d6+4 20/x2 30 ft range 6 lbs<br/><br/>---Armor---<br/>Scale mail (50 gp): +5 armor +3 max dex -4 penalty 30 lbs<br/>Large wooden shield (7 gp): +2 Shield -2 penalty 10 lbs<br/><br/>---Items---<br/>Backpack (2 gp): 2 lbs<br/>Rope silk 50 ft (10 gp): 5 lbs<br/>Waterskin x2 (2 gp): 8 lbs<br/>Whetstone (2 cp): 1 lbs<br/><br/>---Clothes---<br/>Explorers outfit (-): 8 lbs<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Money: 7 pp 6 gp 9 sp 8 cp"

She's someone who enjoys living and loves to splurge, with the full knowledge of the cost attached to such and the willingness to meet that price no matter the means. This leaves her a little torn, with a need to save the gold she covets so dearly and yet, at the same time, the wont to spend it on all the essentials required for living; like chocolate and shoes.<br/><br/>On the other hand, she's also a very secretive person and not above slitting a throat or two should someone decide to pry, or at the very least distance herself from the nosy party. This usually leaves her feeling more than a little lonely, making her an easy friend, but at the same time it leaves her cautious and mistrustful, making her an easy friend to lose.<br/><br/>Generally, she's more than a little flippant, caring for nought but herself but willing to do good should it not be too much of a hassle. This delicate mix of frivolity and seriousness makes her a difficult person to read and more than a little annoying to most.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/>The Felheart family had always had a loose connection with the noble houses and, while they were but a step away from becoming one themselves, most born into the line knew it was only a dream that they'd ever be able to close the gap. Still, even for a house which maintained such a lowly high, the family was content with their position; that of serving and filling the role of anything from a scribe to a court-mage. It was only with Kelsey that things didn't sit well but she had always been an impulsive child with some very lofty dreams. What nobody expected however was for her to act on them, using a power many had thought been watered down with age.<br/><br/>It was no secret amongst the nobles that Felheart's line could be traced back to the unholy union between a creature of the abyss and a power mad sorceress, but most had forgiven the family after years of service, hard work and penitence. And with time even the paranoid had to admit that the Felheart house had redeemed itself. What many didn't realize however is that such malevolence doesn't simply dissipate but rather it remains dormant, waiting for that spark of a child who rejects her position, lifts her nose at the monks and their training and plots against those deemed her ""superiors"".<br/><br/>Kelsey first discovered her powers when serving one of the noble houses, while bearing the work she believed to be beneath her with gritted teeth. She had always thought her place in life to only be temporary and had at several times contemplated running away. She had even gone so far as to prepare the things she might need if she ever decided to go through with it. Despite this however, she knew the day would probably never come and that she'd barely carry herself a few feet before running scared back home.<br/><br/>It was only on that fateful day, when she found her hands drenched in blood, that she finally found the heart to run. Nobody knows what happened, with the noble Kelsey had been placed under found ripped to shreds in his quarters. The Felheart house was condemned soon after with every member being brought to the noose for Kelsey's crimes. As for Kelsey, she adopted the handle Sage and moved as far as her feet could carry her, living the rest of her life in poverty.<br/><br/>She's resorted to a number of means for survival, from stealing, to murdering, to even prostitution. It was only recently that she took on the somewhat vague career of adventuring, hoping to utilize some of her bloodline powers to pull her from the slums.<br/><br/>Still on the run, Kelsey continues to live under the alias Sage, with very little chance of her sharing her true name with anyone.<br/><br/><strong>STR:</strong>14 (+2)<br/><strong>DEX:</strong>14 (+2)<br/><strong>CON:</strong>10 (+0)<br/><strong>INT:</strong>14 (+2)<br/><strong>WIS:</strong>10 (+0)<br/><strong>CHA:</strong>18 (+4)<br/><br/><strong>Feats:</strong><br/>Spell Focus (Conjuration)<br/>Augment Summoning<br/><br/><strong>Traits:</strong><br/>Magic Trait - Diabolical Dabbler<br/>Social Trait - Charming<br/><br/><strong>Skills:</strong><br/>Diplomacy - 5 (4+1)<br/>Disguise - 5 (4+1)<br/>Bluff - 12 (5+1+3) + 3<br/>Spellcraft - 10 (2+1+4) + 3<br/>Use Magic Device - 11 (4+1+3) + 3<br/><br/><strong>Saves:</strong><br/>Fortitude - 0<br/>Reflex - 2 (0+2)<br/>Will - 2 (2+0)<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Tools, Kits, Etc:</span><br/>Soap (5 - 2.5 lbs) - 5gp<br/>Signet Ring (Gold with a Unravelled Scroll Engraving) - 5gp<br/>Tent, Small (15lbs) - 10gp<br/>Bedroll (5lbs) - 1sp<br/>Backpack, Empty (2lbs) - 2gp<br/><br/>Total = 24.5 lbs - 22gp 1sp<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Clothes:</span><br/>Monk's Outfit (2lbs) - 5gp<br/>Noble's Outfit (10lbs) - 75gp<br/>Peasant's Outfit (2lbs) - 1sp<br/><br/>Total = 14lbs - 80gp 1 sp<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Food and Drinks:</span><br/>Corentyn Wine, Bottle (1/2lbs) - 15gp<br/>Bread, Loaf (1/2lbs) - 2cp<br/>Cheese, Hunk (1/2lbs) - 1sp<br/><br/>Total = 1.5lbs - 15gp 1sp 2cp<br/><br/>Net Total = 40lbs - 117gp 3sp 2cp<br/><br/><strong>Current Money:</strong>82gp 6sp 8cp<br/><br/><strong>Spells:</strong><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Level 0:</span><br/>Detect Magic (Divination)<br/>Read Magic (Divination)<br/>Ghost Sound (Illusion)<br/>Prestidigitation (Universal)<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Level 1:</span><br/>Unseen Servant (Conjuration)<br/>Colour Spray (Illusion)"

Its not her way of life.<br/><br/>BACKGROUND:<br/>Born in the area she grew up among elves before falling in with the wrong crowd and honed her scoundrel skills doing some traveling and gaining money in various ways not many exactly legal. Her parents (mother) Elithrial is a elven weaponssmith and her (father) Sytheras is an elven armorer and work well together making goods in the nearby elven communities. She has one sister Sathra who is off learning elven magic with a older elven mage Fhaliana. Overall is not all that big a background and so far has not made any enemies.<br/>"

Before the rise of religious extremism and rogue states, Socialism and Capitalism fought a cold war over the world’s developing regions and its peoples. The soldiers in this war didn’t wear uniforms or carry flags; they weren’t boys led into the field by men on horseback wielding sabers. The soldiers in this war were the man on the street, the lover in your bed, and the man behind the desk. It was hard to distinguish between friends and enemies, and players played different sides depending on what was going on in a tiny village deep inside some backwater province.<br/><br/>As the superpowers engaged themselves in ideological deadlock, the underworld criminal elements thrived, sometimes even subversively supported by the governments of the world powers. The general populace of the free world was powerless to resist such an insidious, hidden enemy; it could only be protected by men and women who could personalize their patriotism into deeds that would make a normal person cringe and reel back from fear. They weren’t superheroes. They were men and women just like you and me. Trained, honed, and chiseled into the cutting edge of what a person could be.<br/><br/>This story follows four such members of the world’s paramount espionage agency, the UK’s MI6. Its field agents protect NATO and its allies from the machinations of the KGB and various other criminal elements, no matter where they may appear on the globe. Much like a nuclear arsenal, they could be launched great distances at a moment’s notice, lacking the punch of a nuclear attack, but providing the precision of a surgeon. It was these dedicated men and women that allowed the rest of us commute to work and school, to go on holiday in summer. In some cases, it was these dedicated men and women who kept the world from a conflagration of nuclear holocaust.<br/><br/>This is the world of James Bond 007, and the JB7 RPG game system.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Starring:</span><br/>Anathanasia – 1169<br/>Major Major – 1198<br/>Midnight Diamond – 1136<br/>Zebu – 1112<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Also Making Appearances </span><br/>Gosco<br/>Hera<br/>Imogen<br/>Mithlomwen<br/>RedEve<br/><em>with</em><br/>Lord Mayerling<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">The Threads</span><br/>Post anything OOC in this thread. The threads of the game will be the current date and location of the story. For example, [OHMSS - April 1, London] will be the title of the first thread. Thus, in theory, only two threads will be active in the game, whatever the current date is, and the OOC thread. The first post in each thread will be the players involved in the thread, and the initial posting order. If they so choose, the baddies will have a private thread of their own. Baddies, just request it if you want one; I can also make it public if that’s easier. The year isn’t important. Don’t get wound up with historical events and their relation to the plot or calendar. Just pretend you’re in a movie or novel: the plot is more important than the history.<br/><br/>I’ll post the links of the game threads in this thread, so this is the best one to bookmark.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Posting Order</span><br/>Initial posting order will be posted in the first post of the thread when I set it up. The MI6 agents will be identified en bloc if they are together, and their posting order isn’t paramount. Generally, post as you wish, but don’t go crazy if you see someone hasn’t had the chance to post yet. The last thing you want as a player is to have to incorporate six or seven responses to posts above yours.<br/><br/>As I will be setting the scenes, my posts will tend to be a little longer than most. Don’t feel like you have to post in parallel to me. I’m a big fan of the three paragraph model with some flexibility. If I see the thread has stalled, but there’s more that needs to be covered, I’ll move the story along with a post of my own. Mostly, though, I plan on letting the story evolve on its own. Also feel free to separate from your fellow characters within the same thread, especially if you’re not all together. If it gets too confusing, I’ll create separate threads and place players in them, but I’d rather keep the entire story (day by day) in a single thread, if possible.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Sexual Content</span><br/>Feel free to pursue this as you would like, but don’t be an asshole, and don’t hold up the story. If you’re holding up the story, I’ll leave the thread open for you to finish up, but open a new thread so the rest of us can move on. If your finishing up is part of the story, and you’re holding us up, then I’ll PM you to please move it along. Have fun. Remember you’re doing it for your country.<br/>"

One headed north, towards the Dreadwood and Haranshire, a very remote and sparsely populated part of the kingdom, while the other headed east towards Burle, Bale and Saltmarsh. It was a very rural part of the large kingdom, and Kendra was mainly an overnight stop for travelers, and an out of the way farming community. If you came to Kendra, odds were you weren't staying, and if you lived here, odds were you didn't know much about the world that existed over the horizon. Aside from a few homes, and an inn, there was a Temple to Pelor, a shrine to Myhriss, and a blacksmith.<br/><br/>A few wagons could be seen working up and down the road, having just left the inn. Standing beside a wagon, huffing and puffing, and apparently cursing under his breath, is a middle aged man who is reading a letter, while keeping one arm draped around a small chest.

His early childhood was idyllic - he'd play with the other children in the stream, watch the adults bring in the harvest and occasionally help them bring it in. This close to the wilds, he actually befriended a wild wolf pup that he found, abandoned, and grew to be close friends with it. Unfortunately, this idyllic life lasted only until his 8th birthday. The village was starting to grow too large, and the food production of the small place, bereft of magic, was unable to keep up. People started going without food, and as tensions rose people started to fight and bicker. Eventually, the entire village was consumed in a vicious brawl between most of the townsfolk, and a fire ensured that most people died. Ketos was forced to run away and into the wilderness.<br/><br/>During his time in the forest, helped along by his faithful lupine companion, Ketos learned to survive in the wild. With the aid of several natural entheogens he unwittingly consumed, he discovered his relationship with and the true nature of ...nature. As he grew, he learned the language of the druids from the trees, and how to call upon the wrath and ferocity of nature. Drawing upon the tragedy he endured as a child, he gained a hatred of others. Robbing and killing some of the travelers that he discovered, he was eventually discovered by an elderly druid who lived in the region. He was confronted, and was told to travel in civilization - to learn to be able to find nature in places where it was often hard to hear the call of the wild, and to become capable of living in society properly.<br/><br/>Despite some early failed attempts, Ketos learned to tolerate and move within human society, even if he did largely disapprove of it - he saw it as a safety net to make sure that the weak and frail could continue, and this did not sit well with him. Moreover, he learned how much he loved the presence of human women, which weren't really capable of being replaced by nature just yet. He still felt a craving for combat and blood, and so he decided to become an adventurer - he'd learn a bit about human society, and experience a variety of exotic environments.<br/><br/>Name:       Ketos<br/>Race:       Human<br/>Player:<br/>Classes:    Druid1<br/>Hit Points: 7<br/>Experience: 0 / 1000<br/>Alignment:  Neutral Evil<br/>Vision:<br/>Speed:      Walk 20 ft.<br/>Languages:  Common, Druidic<br/>Stat    Score   Mod<br/>STR      12      (+1)<br/>DEX      10      (+0)<br/>CON      8       (-1)<br/>INT      10      (+0)<br/>WIS      18      (+4)<br/>CHA      10      (+0)<br/>-------------------------- Skills --------------------------<br/>Skill                   Total   Rnk     Stat    Msc<br/>Appraise                 0        0.0      0        0<br/>Balance                  -3       0.0      0        -3<br/>Bluff                    0        0.0      0        0<br/>Climb                    -2       0.0      1        -3<br/>Concentration            3        4.0      -1       0<br/>Concentration (Cast defensively)  7        4.0      -1       4<br/>Craft (Untrained)        0        0.0      0        0<br/>Diplomacy                4        4.0      0        0<br/>Disguise                 0        0.0      0        0<br/>Escape Artist            -3       0.0      0        -3<br/>Forgery                  0        0.0      0        0<br/>Gather Information       0        0.0      0        0<br/>Heal                     4        0.0      4        0<br/>Hide                     -3       0.0      0        -3<br/>Intimidate               0        0.0      0        0<br/>Jump                     -8       0.0      1        -9<br/>Listen                   8        4.0      4        0<br/>Move Silently            -3       0.0      0        -3<br/>Ride                     0        0.0      0        0<br/>Search                   0        0.0      0        0<br/>Sense Motive             4        0.0      4        0<br/>Spot                     8        4.0      4        0<br/>Survival                 10       4.0      4        2<br/>Swim                     -5       0.0      1        -6<br/>Use Rope                 0        0.0      0        0<br/><br/>-------------------------- Feats ---------------------------<br/>Combat Casting<br/>You get a +4 bonus on Concentration checks made to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability while on the defensive or while you are grappling or pinned.<br/><br/>Improved Initiative<br/>Armor Proficiency (Light)<br/>When you wear a type of armor with which you are proficient, the armor check penalty for that armor applies only to Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, Pick Pocket, and Tumble checks.<br/><br/>Armor Proficiency (Medium)<br/>When you wear a type of armor with which you are proficient, the armor check penalty for that armor applies only to Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, Pick Pocket, and Tumble checks.<br/><br/>Shield Proficiency<br/>-------------------- Special Abilities ---------------------<br/><br/>------------------------ Templates -------------------------<br/><br/>-------------------------- Combat --------------------------<br/>Total / Touch / Flat Footed<br/>AC: 13    / 10    / 13<br/>Initiative:   +4<br/>BAB:          +0<br/>Melee tohit:  +1<br/>Ranged tohit: +0<br/>Fortitude:    +1<br/>Reflex:       +0<br/>Will:         +6<br/>Unarmed attack:<br/>to hit:       +1<br/>damage:       1d3+1<br/>critical:     20/x2<br/>Sling:<br/>to hit:       +0<br/>damage:       1d4+1<br/>critical:     20/x2<br/>range:        50 ft.<br/>--------------------- Special Abilities --------------------<br/><br/>------------------------- Equipment ------------------------<br/>Name                                            QTY   LBS<br/>Bullets (Sling/50)                               1   25lbs<br/>Sling (0 lbs.)<br/>Total weight carried:<br/>Current load:         Medium<br/>Encumbrance<br/>Light:  43<br/>Medium: 86<br/>Heavy:  130<br/>--------------------------- Magic --------------------------<br/><br/><br/>Druid Spells<br/><br/>SPELLBOOKNAME0<br/><br/>Level 0<br/>Create Water 1, Cure Wounds 2<br/><br/><br/>Level 1<br/>Charm Animal (Enchantment)<br/>Saves: Will negates   DC: 15   Casting: 1 standard action<br/>Duration: 1 hours   Range: Close (25 ft.)   Components: V, S<br/>SR: Yes   Effect: Makes one animal your friend.   Target: One animal<br/><br/>Entangle (Transmutation)<br/>Saves: Reflex partial; see text   DC: 15   Casting: 1 standard action<br/>Duration: 1 minutes [D]   Range: Long (440 ft.)   Components: V, S, DF<br/>SR: No   Effect: Plants entangle everyone in 40-ft.-radius circle.   Target: Plants in a 40-ft.-radius spread<br/>"

Bugbears and ogres  fought for expansion and the fighting was brutal. They earned great fame, gathering considerable treasures from their pillaging. Those who died in battle were buried in large tomb complexes dug into hillsides and among these tombs was the large tor known as Hightower. As the fighting continued, only Hightower escaped destruction—mostly because it was an unimportant monument in a remote location.<br/><br/>A few tribes of humanoids that survived tried to use it as a fortress, but the humans defeated them and sealed the entrance with a large boulder, ensuring that the tor could no longer be used as a base. Since then, Hightower has served as a landmark for travelers in the know, but it has mainly been forgotten. Tomb raiders once dug an access shaft from the top of the tor down into the tombs, but never returned, and only the vermin have used it since.<br/><br/>Electrical storms have begun to plague the area recently, and have been so severe that a few weeks ago, a stray lightning bolt broke open the stone seal. Tonight, yet another terrible storm is sweeping through the wilderness, driving all creatures to take shelter where they can find it. Hightower looms on the horizon, and its door is no longer blocked.<br/><br/>(please post your character coming through the storm and into the Tor, meeting each other for the first time.)"

These problems lead to too many sleepless nights and, thus, their current predicament. To take a step back from the strangeness and the Nightmares and the Mad City, this means that every protagonist brings a set of issues and events to the table that comprises his personal story. Setting aside the basics of surviving, a protagonist’s story is about how he explores these issues, and questions whether or not he’ll be able to rise above them, and take his life back. To get a grip on their protagonists’ personal story, and their connection to the setting, players must answer five questions, beyond the simple basics like “What’s your name?” The GM will look at these answers from time to time to get a handle on how the protagonists are proceeding in their personal stories, and the players will get a chance to make use of their answers in ways that guide the development of the game.<br/><br/>Here are the questions:<br/><br/><strong>What’s Been Keeping You Awake?</strong><br/>This is the source of the character’s insomnia, and sets up what the character’s immediate history has been like.<br/><br/>Think about: What troubles him? What pressures turned him into an insomniac? Is he running from something? Does he stay awake due to nightmares or substance abuse? Has he lost someone dear to him and the grief is robbing him of sleep?<br/><br/>Why it matters: This answer connects the character to what all the protagonists in the game have in common – insomnia. It can drive further development of the character by offering opportunities for flashbacks. If it suggests something that the character is avoiding confronting, the GM may look to that as a source of ideas for what the character should face.<br/><br/><strong>What Just Happened to You?</strong><br/>This is what happens to the character in his very first scene of the game – it’s not in the GM’s hands, it’s in the player’s! Such a moment should always feature a moment of high stress for the character. This may be different from what’s been keeping the character awake.<br/><br/>Think about: What would make an exciting, stressful scene? Is the source of the stress mundane or supernatural? Did you just lose your job? Did a monster jump out of your closet? Did you walk in on your wife and another guy in bed? Did you fall off a building – and land without a scratch?<br/><br/>Why it matters: Players get to set the tone for the entire game by determining the opening scene for their protagonists. This is a huge power, and should be exercised with discretion. The best opening scenes are the ones that say something about the character’s ongoing story – they imply a trajectory as much as an event – but so long as the “moment of high stress” requirement is kept to, all should be well.<br/><br/><strong>What’s on the Surface?</strong><br/>This determines the first impressions the character gives off, and tells what is obvious about him.<br/><br/>Think about: What does the protagonist appear to be at first blush (as opposed to what he actually is)? How do others see him? What’s his physical appearance? What sort of personality does he have? Does he put his best foot forward – or his worst?<br/>Why it matters: This answer will be a strong guide as to how the world interacts with the protagonist. It will offer ways in which the face he turns to the world can help or hinder him.<br/><br/><strong>What Lies Beneath?</strong><br/>This speaks to the protagonist’s secrets, the part of himself that he doesn’t show to the world if he can help it.<br/>Think about: What’s the protagonist’s real deal? What would be a surprising twist that plays counterpoint to what’s been said about him so far? What secrets would he give his life to protect? How does he see himself? What lies does he tell himself?<br/><br/>Why it matters: This answer can complicate the portrait of the character, and give him a real three-dimensionality. It plays strongly to character motive. In the absence of anything else, this informs what sorts of things might, over time, be brought to light – or be carefully, deliberately kept in the dark.<br/><br/><strong>What’s Your Path?</strong><br/>This question addresses the character’s goals, and points to how – in a vacuum – a story about him could reach its conclusion.<br/><br/>Think about: Where is the protagonist headed? If a story were written about his life, what would its theme be? What are his goals? What does he want or need?<br/><br/>Why it matters: This is the ultimate question in a game where the personal journey of the protagonist is just as important as anything else. When the character isn’t dodging Nightmares or navigating the Mad City, this is what his mind is set to achieving.<br/><br/><strong>Choose Responses</strong><br/>A protagonist starts with three response boxes, which he may divide up between fight and flight (you may even put all three with a single response, if you dare). The distribution of boxes is, first, a general indication of how much your character is angry and aggressive versus fearful and passive.<br/><br/>The responses of fight and flight are also important to how the protagonist responds to moments of extreme stress, when the psychological strain of the situation overwhelms him. The responses on a character’s sheet help indicate how he’ll behave in such a situation."

I'm the one who was going to play the little brother. Here's what I was thinking for him: Tyler, 18 years old. Spends most of his time playing video games or wandering around with his friends - he's a slacker, but not much of a troublemaker. Had a girlfriend once but it didn't last long. He's in shape though no star athlete, and more eager to fit in than he lets on.<br/><br/>At first he's reluctant to get involved when the pizza girl is dragged in, might make some half-hearted protests, but he won't directly challenge anyone because he's half drunk and susceptible to peer pressure. He'll shut up quickly, especially if he's made fun of even a little bit, and then he'll join in."

Likes to inflict pain to others, hurting other people in itself only brings a small thrill, it isn't the physical pleasure but the psychological understanding that pain is an effective means of control. He will speak coarsely just to get a reaction, and he'll pick apart people if he finds their weaknesses. He loves to play with peoples minds, and their bodies. If you aren't careful, you could easily find yourself in a bad spot. Even if he can't get to someones head he can still get to their body. He takes what he wants. Even before the law passed. He'll make it happen if he really wants it to.<br/><br/>Clinically he was chosen for his previous line of work for a series of traits that made him expectional fo it. Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self, leads him to easily reimagine himself so suit most situations. Chronic feelings of emptiness which lead to him taking a job that had him on the move a lot. Light dissasositive symptoms that would allow him to do tasks others would blanch at for one reason or another.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>History</strong></span>: There was nothing all that interesting about Keith's early history. His father was a military man, a high ranking officer who was stationed in a half a dozen countries, all of which Keith blended into seamlessly given only a month. He had a natural talent for languages and cultures, with a personality that molded itself to the situation easily. But he was a dissapointment to his father, he did not take to orders especially well, and outright rejected military school. However he still wound up in boot camp once, and despite his attitude problems he showed remarkable skill.<br/><br/>His father got the reports of some of the things he'd done, records broken, oders broken, and decided to give a call to one of his older aquiatences. Keith was offically adopted into an intelgience agency built around the concept of plausible deniability, meaning when bad guys dissapear, or large scale military operations seemed to hit just the right spot it usually had sometime to do with the oeganization he worked for, and sometimes him.<br/><br/>But it's not a bussiness you stay in long, the life expectancy is pretty short, and he managed ten years before he was 'retired'. This had less than nothing to do with loss of skill, but evertying to do with the discovery that his semen had a high potency and was abducted into a more offical role for the Govornment for it. He missed his work, but the perks were good, so he didn't object to switching in his liscence to kill for his liscence to rape without much complaint.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Occupation:</span></strong>Govornment Funded, Ex-Inteligence Agent<br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Likes:</span></strong>Sex, drinking, teasing the edges of his old work. This includes inflicting light pain, rarely more then flogging or caning, reading into a persons mind and twisting around their desies or fears. Controling others. Being free to do more then most. Manipulating people into liking things they otherwise wouldn't, manipulating them into wanting what he does.<br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Dislikes:</span></strong>Being ordered, being manipulated, having people assume he's an idiot.<br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Player likes:</span></strong>Bondage, light to heavy depending on partners skill. Non-con. S&M, although I prefer the recipient to enjoy it on at least a subconcious level. Humiliation. (Grah, go to my O/O for more.)"

She smiles often enough, but only professionally and not for anything else. The 24 year old is often perceived as too old for her age. Underneath, however, Melissa still possesses a fun-loving and adventurous side from her old days- though the new state of the world has sort of locked that part of her away.<br/><strong>History: </strong>Melissa had been extremely happy before the disease struck. She had everything, or at least she thought. Her career as a pianist was finally taking off, having newly joined a renowned orchestra. She had met the love of her life, Jake. They were engaged and had just bought a pretty and quiet condo. That is, until everything happened. Her beloved Jake was one of the unlucky ones- he died shortly after contracting the disease. Ever since, Melissa had never been the same.<br/><br/>Her previously captivating smile faded away, seemingly lost within her no matter how desperately she tried to be happy again. It was replaced by a polite and courteous smile, enough to get her by in life and maybe avoid making too many enemies. Thankfully, Melissa was from a well off background- the costs of her condo weren't too high of a price, with a little family help. Her career had slowed considerably; though the orchestra was still together, you can imagine how a worldwide epidemic could threaten people's desires to listen to classical music.<br/><br/>Feeling like her entire life had been stripped away, Melissa struggled on with life, living with a giant hollow space inside of her. Taking advice from family and friends, she adopted a dog to help pass the time and fill the void. Since then, Melissa and her german shepherd Oliver have become best of friends. She has come a long way since her initial grief; thankfully, the new breeding rules hadn't affected her yet. Her job was relatively quiet, and Melissa tended to keep a low profile."

Not even a month ago he was job hunting with his new Math degree when the infection made it's way too him.

To make things worse, between his student loans, the funerals, and the mortgage his parents have on the house he's about $80,000 in debt and about to lose the house he grew up in.<br/><br/>The only bright spot is that a couple friends have moved in with him as a short term solution to at least make the creditors think twice about taking the house quite yet. One of them noticed that Ben still looked at porn, and as a joke Ben got their respective porn stashes along with the first rent. Noting the statistical improbability, Ben has gotten himself tested to see just how against the odds he's been. He agrees with the assessment that the new Breeding Laws are legalized rape, but has run the numbers and agrees that there are no better alternatives. If he gets a badge he intends to use it for the greater good of mankind, hopefully figure out a way to use it that also makes him some money."

Unfortunately Mr Big who had set the illegal racket up, got away, although five infertile males went behind bars too and eleven pregnant women received significant compensation.<br/><br/>Anoka has issues with the new law and is constantly taking up cases defending women who are claiming rape, and by subtle loopholes is securing them either abortions or large punitive damages payouts.<br/><br/>The fact she is gay is not known to anyone (other than her lovers) except Stonewall, in whom she confides her life's worries, usually from her bathtub while he lounges on the windowsill in the sun."

Please. Lots of it, as kinky and as hard as you can give it to her. Extreme bondage, whipping, orgasm denial, anal, slutty outfits, double and triple penetration, deep-throating, huge,<em>huge</em>cocks... hell, she's a porn star - or she was. She loves it all. She especially likes men who know what they want and will just take it - hard. That old caveman thing gets her every time. Be as rough as you please, oh yes.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Wimpy men, losers, small dicks, bitchy women in the industry, manipulating schemers.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Bright and breezy and bubbly and easy going, though she can be manipulative herself. She knows what she wants.<br/><strong>History:</strong>Natalie has always had a monumental sex drive, she was the 'school bike' at college and loved to experiment with all sorts of people, boys and girls. She fucked like a rabbit and loved it. It was only natural that on graduating she would eschew any normal job and go into online porn. Hell, she'd begun doing it before she left school so why stop? For a few years she had a blast, doing lots of shoots and videos on several sites, though she gradually went darker and began doing videos for bondage sites and then torture sites more and more. She loves being tied up and whipped, she can cum just from that when it's done right. Since she had her nipples pierced she has incredibly sensitive teats too and can be reduced to a wet writhing frenzy if her tits are treated the right way. It's the not being able to resist that does it for her, having no say in it when a man takes her. Rape is her fantasy, a strong one.<br/><br/>She also has a piercing beneath her clit, called a triangle piercing. Quite rare because the female genitals need to be a certain shape for it to work, it consists of a horizontal barbell put through the very apex of her inner labia right beneath the head of her clitoris. The bar actually abrades the clit itself constantly exciting it, making Atlanta even more of a nymphomaniac. She often fits small vaginal or g-sport teasers to this barbell that tuck up inside her vagina to stimulate her while she works and walks.<br/><br/>She married John Stone a fellow porn star and for a couple of years they had a great life, often doing videos together. Then fate came along in the form of the killer flu and took John from her. The flu took away much of her life in fact since within a year or eighteen months most of the traditional porn industry which had developed from the magazines of the 60s and 70s and poor quality magnetic tape videos of the 80s into the multi-million dollar DVD industry of the 90s and pay-to-view websites of the 00s collapsed.<br/><br/>Look at the statistics - 90% of porn is aimed at males and 90% of that market either just got wiped out or is left alive with no sex drive at all. It was an economic disaster on a scale that would topple the government of a third world country. The bottom fell out of the pay-to-view web industry. There was still some online porn but the market had shrunk and many sites closed.<br/><br/>A different kind of porn for women began to arise however, though the market was different and the focus was a lot more on the acting and even romance and visually fixed on the man more than the woman. This slushy slice-of-life-porn as Atlanta called it wasn't her thing.<br/><br/>Then a smaller niche market began to develop. The rape-video market was born. Because of the new laws where many men were unable to have meaningful sex the first new (and much cheaper) pay-to-view sites used actors and actresses and the rapes were staged. Then some people wised up to the fact that rape was a fantasy of many men and women and while it now happened legally behind closed doors the obscenity laws that had previously made all such exploitation videos illegal were dismantled. Overnight a new rape video industry sprang up.<br/><br/>Atlanta embraced this new opportunity with open arms and she met a porn producer and photographer who though the flu had taken away his fertility and sex drive, it hadn't taken away his desire to get rich. He set up shop with Atlanta at her home in the suburbs and they hung a red lamp outside the door, the new universally known sign of a fertile woman within available for mating and sat back to await their customers.<br/><br/>They trickled in at first; local people, industry people, a few drive-bys who saw the light (so to speak) and Ken the director filmed the sex. The men who called by were paid a small fee to be filmed and as they took Atlanta in various ways Ken would film the real rape scenes. Nothing was staged or acted and some of the scenes were quite hot and rough, especially when Atlanta did what she enjoyed and resisted. Atlanta still did facials; these kinds of things still had appeal but she'd get the guy hard a second time and the next load would be an internal. It never looked quite as good as in the old days but there was a new trend now, the act of impregnating a woman was now seen as more erotic than the old facials of the past.<br/><br/>For a while the project worked and money came in but it was never great, there was never enough real passing trade to film enough different men. Then tragically one day, one crazy guy took exception to Ken filming, pulled out a knife and stabbed him. Atlanta hasn't found a replacement and now lives alone, her red light still outside because her fantasy is still being fulfilled. She loves the new pace of sex, the freedom it gives her and the fear, there is always that edge isn't there? A man now may not harm the female he mates with, that is still against the law, and the punishments for killing or maiming a fertile female are now much more severe than they were. But even so... there's that thrill of not being able to say 'no' that deeply excites Atlanta... or plain Natalie as she has now become. She loves to leave her front door unlocked day and night... the nights are often even better... and the red light on. She loves to wear sexy underwear and rarely puts on more than a garter belt - or waist cincher - stockings and heels. Some days a bra or a sheer gown or negligée but rarely more than that. She lives alone and does her housework and tends her nice comfortable house - the payout of John's life insurance policy was enough to let her buy a big place on the edge of town in the hills where the neighbours don't see in and she can have various pieces of interesting bondage furniture scattered about the place; chairs, padded beds, crosses, horses, spreader bars... and she enjoys that thrilling sound of an unknown man entering her home at any time of day or night and moving about the place as she waits with her heart pounding. He then finds her, roughly does what the law allows and she cums, cums hard... again and again because she can't stop him. The men see the bondage gear she has about the place and use her tied to it. She has even taken to wearing a leather slave collar and leather wrist and ankle cuffs so her attackers can quickly tie her down. She has some regulars and some groups who come for a night or a weekend and take her again and again.<br/><br/>Despite her heartbreak and her losses Natalie is happy... she just feels there could be... and there is, another fortune to be made out there. She just has to figure out how."

Her tanning and beauty regime match her carefree persona, but are actually a sign of how serious she is about her career. She loves to party, but usually carries a single cocktail all evening and is careful to get her beauty sleep. She is frustrated with people who don't understand how difficult it is to be a model - let them try to look sexy in freezing water or hanging upside-down!<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/>Amber knew she wanted to be a model from the time she was just a little girl. Her childhood was spent in front of her bedroom mirror, practicing angles and facial expressions. By the time she was 13 she had a full-fledged beauty regimen that kept her too busy to join any after-school clubs. It was around this time that she started realizing that boys wanted what she had - and even some of the teachers. Amber, who wasn't very social to begin with, started avoiding any males so she wouldn't have to deal with immature or inappropriate advances. When she was 14, she started her modeling career by appearing in teen clothing catalogs.<br/><br/>When Amber was 16 her figure starting to develop, and she started working primarily as a swimwear model. It was around this time that she started going by ""Shantih"" as her model name (a Sanskrit word meaning ""peace"".) When she was 18, she did a topless shoot for Maxim magazine that financed her entire college tuition, with some money left over.<br/><br/>She went to the University of Redlands, just outside of Los Angeles, majoring in photography. This gave her a chance to get a liberal arts education while continuing to study the female form and how best it could be posed. When she graduated at 21 she married her Art History professor, who was 47 at the time, and whom she had been having an affair with for the last year and a half. She is still very much in love with her husband, who survived the plague but with his libido destroyed.<br/><br/>The flu affected her career, of course, initially taking a hit from the reduced numbers of horny men worldwide. But as her photographers adapted to more female-oriented posing, she continued to be in great demand, as she was flirtatious with women and became a sort of icon for the new American woman - unashamed of lesbian activities, sexually aggressive, celebratory of her own sexuality because a man wasn't going to do it for her. She never appears in public with her husband, so only her most ardent fans know that she is married.<br/><br/>She doesn't want her politics to overshadow her personality, but she secretly believes that the Breeding Laws are insane. She is a discrete advocate for fertilization clinics, which would ""milk"" the few fertile men for the sake of women who wanted children, to replace the ""legalized rape"" of the present day. Though Amber does not know it, having never been tested, she is herself infertile."

An innocent child one minute, a murderous monster the next.<br/>History: Marcus was born of the union of a teenage girl and her rapist. Rather than abort the child, the girl gave birth, and then sent into a Puritan orphanage, often coming to see the boy in his early years to make sure he was being well looked after. Marcus has few memories of his mother; just that she 'was beautiful, and cared'.<br/><br/>The pastor, however, made in known in uncertain terms that Marcus was the union of a child and a demon, and thus was born far more sinful then others. So, he told Marcus, he must lead a far more pure life than others. Marcus took this to heart, dedicated his life to the Puritan Church, and became known as a kindly, if slightly off his rocker, traveling preacher.<br/><br/>However, he began to notice violent tendencies within himself. Self-flagellation could only do so much, so he enrolled in a kickboxing club to help ease out his aggression. While it wasn't entirely successful, it did take off enough of the sting that he could trust himself around people.<br/><br/>When the Breeding Laws hit, Marcus saw them for what they were; turning men into monsters, and giving monsters an excuse to act out on their desires. ""Laws without morality must be broken!!!""<br/><br/>So Marcus has gone on to preach and denounce the law, saying it was the duty handed down by God Himself to defend any woman being violated for the sake of 'breeding', and that anyone who stood by and did nothing was 'as guilty as the rapists themselves'. Part of the reason he did this was because he truly believed what he said. But the other reason was a paper-thin shield to hide behind when he noticed that he still had sexual cravings...<br/><br/>Marcus is afraid to get himself tested, afraid of the power that would be handed to him. Most importantly, Marcus is afraid to be around a woman alone. He doesn't know how much longer he can help himself..."

The bike would be able to follow along easily, but it would be hair raising, the turn was sharp enough to make people nervous in a car, let alone on a bike that he doubted had been pushed that hard before.<br/><br/>Letting off the gas he let the car simply coast over the end of the curve, and took the right turn on a red light, no trafic endangering him as he moved his viper up the curb and finally applied the breaks lightly to pull to a stop. The shoulder was mostly tar, with an easy dirt a foot to the right side of the passanger door, but he expected the officer would approach from his side. That was assuming the bike managed to take the corner, if it took too long he would grow bored and simply hop back on the highway.<br/><br/>For the moment he leaned back and rested his left arm over the rolled down window, sunglasses hiding his eyes, lookingly perfectly relaxed while he waited to find out if he had to deal with a cop wanting to hand him a ticket.

While 1:00AM wasn't late by many people's standards, Melissa had adopted an early curfew ever since the disease hit. Not for any particular reason; rather, that was the problem nowadays. There just wasn't anything interesting in her life. Each day was becoming part of the same, tired old routine. No more late night escapades with Jake; no going on midnight dates just for the hell of it; certainly no more sex. Her german shepherd Ollie helped alleviate some of the loneliness, but it wasn't the same. Even<em>he</em>seemed to be getting tired of it all.

It wasn't always easy to move around, especially in her flowing black dress and high heels. In fact, it was almost<em>impossible</em>to move around. Today was the last rehearsal before concert day. Not that it mattered much; the Monterey Symphony Orchestra was a shadow of its former glory. The hall used to be packed every time, overflowing with people. Now the audience consisted of only a handful of people, some of whom were so old Melissa had doubts they could even hear the music. Nevertheless, she settled in front of the piano. After a few bench adjustments, Melissa relaxed and began to lose herself in Rachmaninoff's 2nd.<br/><br/><div align=""center"">Rachmaninoff Concerto N. 2 - I.

One man to realize that he could make Shantih the bikini goddess into his fucktoy, and then the rest of the vermin would hunt her down. Her agent referred her to a psychiatrist for paranoia, but it hadn't helped. She was calm on the pills the doctor had given her... and she didn't leave her house.<br/><br/>It was her husband Jacob who had urged her to get her fertility tested. ""There's no reason for you to be so afraid, when you could be exempt,"" he had said. ""After all, we tried for years....""

Amber's possible infertility, which had previously been a painful subject of conversation, was now the blessing that could save her from a life of fear. But - bitterly ironic - the only hospital that did such testing was this government station that also gave men badges to rape. Something about needing to be done in a hospital that was part of the database, the one that kept track of the men. Amber suspected that it was a deliberate plot.

She was wearing a scraggly blond wig that completely changed her appearance, and not for the better. Her body was hidden by layers of skirts and a loose sweater, like a homeless woman.

She kept her eyes fixed on the sidewalk and didn't talk to anybody, not wanting to draw attention.<br/><br/>As she walked into the hospital, she heard a wild-eyed man ranting against the Breeding Laws. She lingered in his steps, wanting to tell him, ""Bless you... thank you."" But she didn't want to start a conversation.

Maybe her agent was right; maybe she was too paranoid. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror as she was taking off her clothes, and flushed with shame. She looked ridiculous. All those layers, and the wig - she grabbed it from her head and threw it on the chair in the corner. She would die of embarrassment if her doctor saw her crazy attempt at a disguise. As the clothes came off, she piled them on top of the wig to hide it.<br/><br/>She slipped into the white paper gown, tucking the ends over her torso and securing it at her waist with the tie by a bow in the front. She would feel too vulnerable if it were open in the back, it was some kind of instinct; she also didn't sit with her back to doors. No doctor had ever forced the issue with her. Really, why would they need more access to your ass than to the front of you? Not that the little paper gown covered anything very effectively.<br/><br/>Amber looked in the mirror again, seeing a much more respectable patient. She ran her fingers through her hair to untangle the brunette waves, leaving no sign of the wig. She tried out a smile. Though she wasn't wearing any make-up today, she looked pretty good - much more like her photo than the strange bag lady that had wandered in here.<br/><br/>She waited for the nurse to come, hoping that she wouldn't have to deal with any men today - a female nurse, a female doctor, that was best. Even if they were doctors or other respectable men, she always expected them to flash a badge at her; so far, she hadn't been badged by a photographer, or a doctor, or any other man. ...So far."

Hell, men who still have sex drives<em>might</em>break 2%. I agree with a need to prop some things up with realism, just haven't done so in front of you yet. ;P<br/><br/>The testing for men isn't systematic, while it is covered by the government they have to come in for it themselves. There may be a systematic attempt later but for the moment it's not present. Exemptions for women do exist, but they're hard to qualify for. Married women if the husband is fertile, and infertility. Married to a Fertile Husband exemption requires both be tested, and the Infertility exemption requires the woman find 2 doctors who would be willing to testify in court that she's about as fertile as a pet rock- even them a third doctor from the government then confirms it. Counterfeit exemptions carry the same penalty as counterfeit badges for fertile men- some real hard time in prison. Enough that most people just don't think it's worth it. Lesbianism by itself isn't reason for exemption. Yes that sucks huge donkey balls, but we're talking the survival of the human race here- and only idiots don't think ""legalized rape"" is an accurate description of what is going on.<br/><br/>The plus side in terms of inheritances and such is that they've taken a dramatic turn in favor of the women involved- now the woman's line is considered more important since it's more legally stable. And programs like welfare got a boost thanks to a sizable percentage of social security recipient kicking the bucket. How many children you've given birth too, are raising, or have been medically confirmed to have fathered are all factors that increase pay-out.<br/><br/>As for the fucking happens, many cities are starting to introduce ""love kiosks"" on some street corners and such- but those programs are just starting, most men at the moment think it's not worth the hassle or aren't sold on it.<br/><br/>The Villain has spoken. *thunderclap*"

Now that I've found that the percentage of fertile men is only 0.1% of the total world population and the flu has in fact killed tens of millions of men so that only 2% of the population is male with a sex-drive then my concerns are mostly put aside. Now, when a guy accosts a woman her reaction wouldn't so much be ""Oh, crap! Not again! You're the fourth today!"" but more like ""My God! I've never seen one of those cards before! And I've been craving cock for months! Have me right now!""<br/><br/>So yeah...<br/><br/>Regarding Marcus I think with all group RPs you need to focus on the main direction. Is this a game about chicks living in a world where a tiny %age of males have their ultimate fantasy come true and can fuck any gorgeous women they see on the street... and the fun we can have developing that concept into a couple of related directions - like the porn site setup of Damien's... or do we want to go off in other directions quite unrelated to random rape that involve deranged vigilantes?<br/><br/>The vigilante was a great idea and in another setting he'd be awesome but I do not think he would slot well into this game *and* still give us enough direction towards the place I see it should be going.

He could even rape her during working hours, as long as he didn't get caught in the act; it would be very hard to prove that it was an ""illegal rape"", if he were willing to risk the inquiry.<br/><br/>I am drawing up a character who is a model, and if she were fair game at work, a group of horny license bearers could follow her from job to job and prevent her from ever working. Yes, there's only a few of them, but women with her looks are also rare. I don't buy that she would only be hassled at work ""once a week"" even with the low number of fertile men."

The town had recently been told to hand over all the money they received for repairs and instead of following orders the people tried to defend themselves from the attacking bandits. The small war ended with the last two Zoids falling and one pilot emerging, a ten year old boy named Kip. He wandered from town to town for a while getting several jobs from repair work to selling parts he found and an occasional illegal Zoid battle. He eventually wandered off from town for several years.<br/><br/>There where rumors around what he did in the desert are mostly tall tails and legends, the true story is that Kip wandered into the desert to find some used parts to sell and ended up being attacked by a wild Zoid called the Shadow Fox, it was the first time Kip really felt afraid. He was facing an enemy that enjoyed appearing in front of him at random and growling or attacking him for fun and without warning, never killing him, just scaring him. Kip lived with this for several years in a discarded temple that held a small underground lake, and an abundance of vegetables. Kip was relatively alright with the situation after a time and then one day he sat there under heavy fire and random attack and didn't even flinch. When it was over the Shadow Fox knelt down next to him and opened the cockpit. Since that point on Kip and the Shadow Fox have been partners and work for the team that can grantee them financial compensation for his work.<br/><br/><strong>Zoid:</strong>Shadow Fox<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><br/>(http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/503/l3826e9411803afed3b3a03.png)<br/><br/><strong>Type:</strong>Fox<br/><strong>Crew:</strong>1<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>52.0 tons<br/><strong>Depth:</strong>17.3 m<br/><strong>Height:</strong>8.0 m<br/><strong>Max Speed:</strong>290.0 km/h<br/><strong>Weapons:</strong>Electron Bite Fangs, Strike Laser Claws (4), AZ 30mm Armor Piercing Laser Vulcan, AZ 70mm Electromagnetic Net Gun<br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>Optical Camouflage, 3D Radar, Multiple Sensor (2), Smoke Discharger (6), Anchor (4), Multi Weapon Rack, Shoulder Weapon Rack (2)<br/><br/><strong>HP:</strong>10,000<br/><strong>EP:</strong>8,000<br/><br/><strong>DP:</strong>5,000<br/><strong>Power:</strong>4,000"

She loves danger and excitement, and will go out of her way to find it if needs be. She gets bored easily, which can be dangerous; when bored she tends to find ever increasingly destructive ways to occupy her attention. Its not that she's a bad person as such, certainly not violent or overly aggressive and wantonly destructive. She just likes to have an exciting, action packed and fun-filled life and, as a result, can't stand sitting around and doing nothing.<br/><br/>She likes to exercise and work out, but that’s usually only as a way to occupy her time and attention. Conversely, she also likes to party hard, and is known to drink to excess. She’s loud and rebellious, resentful of authority and disliking of orders. She won't go out of her way to cause trouble, but at the same time, she doesn't liked to be bossed around or told what to do, unless its by someone who she has a very good reason to follow them. Most importantly, she wants to do what she wants, not what others want of her.<br/><br/>Jenna likes to meet people, make friends and have a good time. She likes to hang around others and have fun, preferring company over solitude. She figures that anything is more fun in a group then it is on its own.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(no picture; ideas appreciated) Jenna is of above average height with a firm, and athletic, yet shapely body. She has rather odd bright green eyes; not just the normal green, but a very bright green, the same colour as the eyes of a Dark Zoid. As a result, she has a somewhat unerring stare; something about her just doesn’t “look right.” Her long hair is naturally raven-black, but she has added a number of red highlights to it. It is always worn loose.<br/><br/>She doesn't have any distinctive markings or scars, but she does have a single tattoo. She has a large black dragon tattooed on her back; the head and wings start on her shoulders, with the body continuing down her back. The tail crosses over her hip, and goes down the side of her left leg. The tattoo is rather detailed, with brilliant green eyes like her own. She does not have any pericings.<br/><br/>Jenna normally dresses in a very 'casual' style. She normally likes to wear a minitop or similar under a black mesh top along with low-cut baggy combat pants, chunky hiking boots and, on occasion, fingerless gloves. When she does wear a T-Shirt, it will usually be overly tight and midriff-baring; her favourite one has the logo of her favourite band on it (<em>Zeekdobers Ate My Baby</em>). Her Zoid pilot's suit is a form-fitting jumpsuit that emphasises her physique and shape; the suit is mostly black, but is grey in places and has a neon-green trim.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Jenna was born on the Dark Continent of Nyx. She was the oldest child of a pair of career military officers who had very strict ideas of what their children, specifically their eldest daughter should be doing with their lives. From an early stage, Jenna was groomed for the military life. Unfortunately, it wasn’t what she wanted. In fact, it was pretty much the last thing that was on her mind.<br/><br/>Jenna Could have best been described as a “problem child.” She was hyperactive, restless, easily distracted and easily excitable. She couldn't focus easily, and suffered from rather mediocre grades as a result, Her parents tried to drill into her the importance of things like her education, but she tended to brush if off with an almost casual ""whatever"" attitude; it was her life, she figured, and she would life it her way. She also tended to get into trouble, and would start fights with other children for the fun of it. As she grew up, she became more and more difficult. It soon became clear to her parents that she was not going to fit into the military life.<br/><br/>However, they did find one thing. When she stepped into a Zoid, she became very patient and focused. Combat gave her an outlet for her destructive tendencies; after she began learning how to use a Zoid, she began to calm down, becoming less hyperactive and loud. They figured that there may just be hope for her yet; while she would never make it into the military, they could find a useful outlet for her skills. Certainly, they knew that she was never going to be able to hold down a proper job. She'd either get bored of it, or mess up and get herself fired... neither of which was a favorable outcome.<br/><br/>So instead, they decided to support her in becoming a Zoid Warrior. They helped pay for her first Zoid, as well as get her a place in The City to live. They also helped her get into the ZBC, allowing her to get started in the Zoid battles. They figured that if she couldn’t be a great military officer, she could still be a good Zoid pilot. And, above all else, they figured that at the very least, she'd be away from them where she couldn't mess with their lives.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Zoid:</strong>DPZ-10 Darkhorn<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><br/><br/>(http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig11/10117410a3.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Type:</strong>Styracosaurus<br/><strong>Crew:</strong>3<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>115 tons<br/><strong>Depth:</strong>20.8 meters<br/><strong>Height:</strong>13.5 meters<br/><strong>Width:</strong>8.3 meters<br/><strong>Max Speed:</strong>130 km/h<br/><strong>Weapons:</strong>Hybrid Vulcan Cannon, Beam Launcher, Crasher Horn, Smash-Up Tail, 80 mm Surface to Air Double Barreled Beam Cannon, Anti-Zoid 3-Barreled Linear Cannon, SSM-Pod, TEZ 20 mm Linear Laser Gun (2), AEZ 20 mm Beam Gun (2), High Pressure concentrated Sulfuric Acid Powder Cannon<br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>All-Weather 3D Radar Antenna (4), Composite Sensor Unit, Infra-Red Laser Searcher<br/><strong>HP:</strong>10,000<br/><strong>EP:</strong>8,000<br/><strong>DP:</strong>5,000<br/><strong>Power:</strong>4,000<br/>"

Osa and learned to love Zoids from<br/>an early age.  He was always trying to earn money to buy a Zoid of his own, helping out around town wherever he could.  Everyone in town loved and respected him and was always supporting him.  One day he was out in the desert scavenging for parts for the old scrap collector in town, when he stumbled upon a very odd shaped object sticking out of the ground.  Upon closer inspection he could tell that it was only a small part of something much larger.<br/><br/>He dug around the object till he found an access hatch.  He squirmed around through the access tunnels until he found his way into a corrido inside the enormous object.  He proceeded to explore until he found what appeared to be a control room of some sort, with a blinking button.  Once he pressed it everything powered on and lit up.  He was amazed to find, via a diagnostics screen, that he was inside an old Whale King and on another screen displaying security footage from the hangar he discovered there was also a very odd Zoid type he had never seen before.<br/><br/>Both of the Zoids seemed to be heavily damaged, but luckily the Whale King could still move under it's own power, at least well enough to get it back to the village.  From then on he worked tirelessly to restore the two Zoids.  Eventually a company seeking Zoid pilots to back for competition came to town and were directed to him by all the townsfolk.  Thanks to them he was able to finish the repairs and even outfit the Whale King with some defenses just in case it should be attacked.  This competition would be the first he had ever been in and he was eager to test his abilities."

As such he is incredibly bitter against the Backdraft Group and their desires and will often make it a point to return the favor. He eagerly wants to get even with them but more so then anything else he wants to get back into the cockpit and Pilot again.

As an orphan, she never knew her parents or relatives, but she considers the people aboard the Lunar Light her family. Naturally cheerful, many of the other residents looked up to her and came to her with their problems.  All in all, she lived a carefree, happy life with all the others.  However, like many youths, she had the desire to go out into the world and make her mark on it.  During a routine docking and resupply, she snuck out of the Lunar Light and bid farewell to her home of 16 years. This came as little surprise to many of the other residents, as they had seen it coming for several months.  When they found her handwritten note before departure, they smiled and wished her well, confident they'd see her again someday.<br/><br/>In the years that followed, Wynn traveled around the world from place to place with her trusty companion.  They braved harsh conditions, fierce bandits, empty wallets, and all sorts of bad weather.  It was during a particularly bad storm that they took refuge under a rock overhang.

Anyone who finds themselves here inevitably have their will and sanity tested. Doubt and darker forces torment from the pressing shadows that fill it's every room,it's every street..<br/><br/>The passage of time is difficult to discern, with the ever choking fog blanketing the heavens. It stirs and slithers in the sky but never abates..<br/>The sickly glow that penetrates leaves our town cast in a bleak pallor, hence it's moniker.<br/><br/>As if finding yourself here weren't terrible enough, people continue to disappear. There have been reports of individuals wandering into the outskirts as if in a trance, they walk into the fog and never return. Any who have entered after them have also been lost..we suppress the worst of the rumors for as long as possible.<br/><br/>There is something in this town, I've seen things from the corner of my eyes..you wouldn't believe. Despite the steady disappearances, our numbers are still growing and it's becoming impossible to suppress the angry, panicked masses. An increasingly small force acts as a police state, trying to hold back the inevitable riots. It seems like only a matter of time before we all kill each other..<br/><br/>(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/249/8/7/time_for_a_drink_by_lazytei-d2y4l6r.jpg) Alcohol becomes the glue that holds us together, you can find most of our citizens here at nearly any time of ""day"". There are enormous rows of storehouses filled with supplies , but they lie so close to the outskirts that they're often at least partially enveloped in fog.<br/>Aside from keeping the peace, we've also taken responsibility for keeping the town supplied.. leverage disguised as a public service.<br/><br/>Everyones too afraid to fend for themselves , so they depend on us and allow us to keep some semblance of order. I think we all know that wont last forever though. We've begun to interview everyone when they arrive, searching every detail for a clue as to where we are and how we get here. Strangers just seem to wake up here..always somewhere alone, providing no witnesses...<br/><br/>Still we compile records and analyze them again and again in hopes some minor detail will somehow clue us in..<br/>Some people say we're in hell..I'm beginning to wonder. If it's not, it will be soon if we can't find something to give these people hope..<br/>Tensions are high, everyones worried about how long the food will last and what to do if the fog were to roll in...then there's always the questions we're always too afraid to breath aloud.<em>Whats the meaning of it all and what is happening in this town..</em><br/><br/>It's hard to say how big the town is really because no one's ever walked it the same way twice, the fogs always shifting. Always revealing new areas while burying other paths we've come to rely on. The only constant is the center of the city , and so our population is clustered into a very small percent of it for most of the time.<br/>In the day we explore and salvage what we can from around the city and trade amongst ourselves for everything besides foodstuff and alcohol , it helps to keep everyone sane I think.<br/><br/>At the police dept, we await new arrivals who are all directed here to be reviewed and given something of a debriefing, we try to help them understand and cope as best we can before setting them up in a room and getting them started. We usually place them in an old apartment complex we've turned into the arrivals shelter, until they're comfortable enough to strike out on their own.<br/>We also deal with crime of course, when people are scared they inevitably lash out, we just try to stifle the worst of it."

The city’s thriving markets and merchant houses are fueled by luxury goods from nearby neighbours Sembia and Cormyr; with exports of produce, ores and lumber and imports of exotic metalwork, silks and spices which keep the many of the inhabitants of the area employed in various crafts. This level of activity creates an inner core that is as loud and bustling as the markets of Waterdeep, with wagons traversing its cobbled streets at all hours of the day.<br/><br/>The nobility and merchants build high townhouses with hidden inner holds, guarded by barred windows equipped with arrow slits and nastier defenses in the centre of the city, while the rest of the population constantly sprawls out of its rebuilt walls along the road bridge and across the River Arkhen. Many of the buildings are of stone construction, with slate or tiled roofs and multiple stories and there are grand temples to Chauntea, Lathander, Tempus, with shrines dedicated to the deities of Mielikki, Selûne and Silvanus.<br/><br/>Due largely to disputed borders with the neighbouring Sembia, Archenbridge maintains a large, showy military force known as the Archenriders. The town guard is adequately well-organised and equipped to watch over a mostly human population, with strong elements of half-elves, halflings and gnomes and can usually be seen at any sign of trouble."

Spring Equinox rapidly approaches as the land recovers from the cruel grasp of Hammer [Midwinter]. A lone band of adventurers, barely familiar with one another and seeking to try their fortunes on the road, have come to town to rest and recuperate during these past few days. It’s early evening, and the group find themselves in an inn called ‘The Frisky Goblin’ - a lecherous establishment known as a regular spot with sailors, adventurers and women of questionable virtue, which is located in the centre of the city near Market Square. This well-maintained, wooden building has small, round door leads into the main area of the tavern and boasts a large fireplace and an assortment of tables and private booths. Rooms sleeping up to two people, at a one-and-a-half gold pieces per head, have been paid in advance for this evening and the party is able to unwind and relax in the relative comfort of the inn.<br/><br/>The drinks here are reasonably-priced and there is a broad selection. The house specialties are a heavy, ruby-red ale called Dragon's Fury, which sells for 8 silver pieces; or a murky, black drink called Goblin Ichor, which tastes like aniseed, sells for 12 silver pieces and is known to have a real kick. At this hour, the bar is tended by a human in his mid-thirties known as Darius. He is a large man of a little over six foot tall, with a strong build and a cheerful disposition. He supports several days growth on his chin, with heavy features and tanned, leathery skin which is riddled with scars and scrapes. His hands are strong and, though he carries a little extra weight around the girth, he wears it well and has the look of a seasoned warrior about him.<br/><br/>The atmosphere is beginning to liven up as the evening sets in and more patrons begin to appear. Among them is a group of miners who are drinking heavily and several halflings who seem to be trying to outdo each other with ridiculous tales of their own personal bravery.<br/><br/>[For those players in my Treacherous Deeds campaign: Please pull up a chair and have a drink on the house.

way.""</em><br/><br/>Ceoluulf splashed a handful of water against his face, scattering stray unwelcome thoughts like the flecks of water now dripping from his brow.  The man stared at himself in the mirror above the wooden basin, a hairline fracture in the glass subtly splitting his reflection in two.  It was a hard face with a strange gray pallor, and not one predisposed towards kindness or mirth.  There was a traditional sort of handsomeness in that wide jaw and strong chin, and in the close-cropped head of bright tawny hair, and perhaps on any other man it would have set all the tavern wenches to swooning.  But there was no charm in it, and the only subtleties were in the dark shadows that pooled beneath stern green eyes, the whitened tracery of minor scars, and the almost imperceptible kink in the bridge of his nose where it had undoubtedly been broken.<br/><br/>His body was still bare from the night before, the sheets from the bed strewn about the floor and forgotten.  His chest and shoulders were broad and fiercely defined, his skin giving the muscle the quality of hewn granite.  It was a body forged of feral strength, an Old World frame persisting into a more modern age where civilization sought to tame the land.  And the land had certainly left its mark upon him, for old wounds from blades and claws alike marked him as one that had survived much and come out the better for it.<br/><br/>The light streaming in from the window reflected off the silver in the ring he wore from a chain around his neck, flashing brilliantly in the mirror for the briefest of instants before a cloud swept in to snuff it out.<br/><br/>""The times, they are a-changin',"" he muttered, clearing the morning phlegm from his throat and spitting into the corner.<br/><br/>How he'd come to be traveling with a band of adventurers was beyond him to guess at.  One moment he had been traveling an old path, and the next he found himself in the company of another following the same route--he'd forgotten which of them it was--and in time still others came upon them, a temporary agreement of partnership was settled upon, and they had all wound up in the center of Archenbridge amidst crowds of merchants hawking wares from nearby lands, great temples proclaiming the majesty of the gods, and luxurious houses settled in up and away from the common rabble.  It was, in so many words, exactly the last place he wanted to be.<br/><br/>Ceoluulf dressed quickly, pulling wool-lined breeches up over his hips and binding them in place with bits of old bandages and a belt heavy with pouches and bags that tinkled faintly with jostled.  His shirt had clearly seen better days, its white fabric having long since attained a rather unhealthy brown tinge and dark spots around frayed edges, and it strained obviously against his chest and upper arms.  Over it was a thin leather vest festooned with three decorative buckles up the front that were probably newer than the vest itself, faded and marred with small hastily stitched-up holes as it was.<br/><br/>The man paused near the entryway, glancing back at his gear.  Deciding he'd rather not have to return again to retrieve it, he buckled the assortment of weapons and sheathes to his vest and belt, draped his cloak over his neck, and lifted the heavy pack over one shoulder before leaving the room behind him.<br/><br/>The sounds of cheerful patrons drifted up from below, and he allowed himself the most meager of smirks so as to keep up appearances.  The biggest offenders seemed to be the group of dirty miners in one corner and the gaggle of tale-telling halflings in the other, neither of which held particular interest for him.  The former toiled away at a single job for all their lives, find fulfillment in stones and seeing little of the world.  The latter were irritating little creatures best trod underfoot or ignored outright.  Perhaps storytelling just wasn't his strong suit.<br/><br/>Despite the late hour it appeared that he was the first to wake.  It had been a long and exhausting journey, and he had slept the sleep of the dead without taking drink.  If they were to set off again by nightfall he had no intent of having to weather a hangover.  But his mouth was dry and his gut was empty, and there seemed little point in depriving himself of a good stiff drink when there was no telling how long it would be before his next.  Ceol sat himself in front of the bartender, Darius, and a gold coin clattered to the bar top.<br/><br/>""I'll take a pint of Goblin Ichor, and perhaps some directions if you'd oblige me.  Would you know the way to the Silvanus shrine hereabouts?"""

Ceol, predictably, had been the first to rise; there was something about the man that intrigued Ren, who was far more used to plying the softer hearts and heads of the world. Though he had been through his fair share of combat, not too many bore the same grim countenance and brute strength that Ceol seemed capable of mustering.<br/><br/>Ceol had seemed somewhat less than enthusiastic about the sudden partnership that formed, and Ren felt similarly. While he had spent much of his life working with others, they were well behind him now, and he hadn't participated in any real teamwork since. Despite his mixed feelings, he<em>was</em>looking forward to putting their talents to use alongside his to find their fortunes... and meet a few other goals along the way.<br/><br/>Ren's pack and cloak were left back in his room, leaving him just in his lighter clothes: sturdy but light dark leather boots were on his feet, their tops pulled down; light brown breeches of a heavy cloth loosely held onto his legs; a dark brown belt with several pouches and loops sewn into it filled with flasks and other items; a clean, blue tunic of fine make, tied at the top to hide his undershirt and chain shirt; and a fitted, muted brown jacket. Both his neck and his hands were clear of jewelry, and his visible flesh was clear of any major scars. Ren kept himself fairly clean, making a point of proper presentation, though his face had more than a few days of growth on it.<br/><br/>Rolling his shoulders back and stretching them, Ren began to walk toward the bar when he noted Seka enter. A small smirk came to his lips at the timing, and he resumed quickly, approaching shortly after her, coming up next to the two of them.<br/><br/>Slipping out two golden coins, he put them down onto the counter, toward the barkeeper.

Finding that particular fact useful, Renolf in truth found the next most interesting of all, as he had a certain interest in some of the nobles between Archenbridge's walls.<br/><br/>Letting a moment pass, he ventured another question, his voice matching hers in volume, before letting the conversation shift away from her, ""<strong>What kind of protection have the nobles invested in?</strong>""<br/><br/>After her response, he drew louder again, giving a wink toward Ceol.

Judging by their attire and the way they’d brought practically everything but the kitchen sink with them for a casual drink and feed, they were clearly adventurers. And if he knew one thing about their kind, it was that they usually enjoyed a drink or two and they were usually a lot less watchful of their coin than the locals.<br/><br/>“Goblin Ichor? You’ll not want a full pint of that if you value your health. Here, take the usual measure…” He says as he takes an old, weathered gourd from under the counter and pulls the stopper, pausing only briefly to take a sniff of the contents with a slight grimace before pouring some of the thick, sludgy, black liquid into two short glasses which must hold about a quarter of a pint each and pushing them towards Ceoluulf and Seka. It quickly becomes apparent, if only by the smell of the pungent odour, that the drink itself is more a test of manhood than a refreshing beverage, and Darius looks on with a slightly amused expression of anticipation as he eagerly awaited the pair to down the contents of their glasses.<br/><br/>In stark contrast to the drinks of his companions, the barkeep calls for a meal of braised vegetables and stuffed trout fresh from the river and pours Renolf a tall mug of Dragon’s Fury from one of the barrels. It’s a fine-looking, ruby-red ale with a generous head and an enticing scent that has a hint of cinnamon about it.<br/><br/>“You’ll find the shrine to Silvanus on the southern side of town. It’s off in the woods with the fairies and such, though you can’t miss it.” He says somewhat dismissively to Ceol as he waves past the door in the general direction of the south-east of town and observes Sanora’s arrival."

Looking past the others at the bar, his gaze sharpened, taking keen note of her uncertainty... her naivete. Ren had yet to see the extent of the young woman's talent, but there were hints of it in her voice, her gait, how she held the attention of others. Without a doubt, he'd gamble that she would be a magnificent crowd-pleaser, were her confidence to guide her to and through it.<br/><br/>She had much to learn, really... much that Ren could teach. He watched with due attention as she approached, seeing her body more bared than the previous time of their travels. There was much to approve of, in that sight, and it definitely distracted him, for the moment, from the food Darius provided.<br/><br/>Given her ability to learn and adapt, there was a certain risk and danger is manipulating her. With time, and innocence - or ignorance - lost, she could turn the tables, and tricking her could give her all the reasons to do so. Renolf generally liked to stick to people's good sides, for a lot of reasons, and hazarded cruel deceptions far less often than he could have.<br/><br/>When she stood before them, his demeanor shifted to that of an appraising merchant or teacher, standing more formally and giving her a look that spoke of judgment and scrutiny rather than appreciation and lechery. Stroking his chin, he walked around her, circling, making her the circle of attention and drawing eyes to her. Standing before her again, Ren's mouth loosened back into his easy smile as he bowed before her, taking her hand and giving it a most gentlemanly of kisses.

For a few moments she ignored the persistent call, content to continue soaking in the blissfully hot water. She'd awoken considerably earlier than the rest of the odd little band and took the opportunity to hunt down the Inn's washroom. When it became clear the voice wasn't going to leave her alone, she rose up. The shift between the calm, peaceful quite beneath the water and the dull buzz of noise that seemed to permeate everything in Archenbridge caused Aylin to scowl. She hoped all cities wouldn't be this loud, it was rather jarring for someone who'd spent their entire life in a village of about five hundred. Twisting around, the half-elf found the young maid she'd spoken to earlier peeking around a partition.<br/><br/>""Apologies Miss!"" The girl said with a little curtsy, ""but the folks you wanted me to watch out for are up and about. I think most of them have gone downstairs.""<br/><br/>""Oh, thank you..."" Aylin responded, just a hint of disappointment in her voice as she accepted the towel the maid handed her before scurrying away.<br/><br/>Gracefully rising from the tub, she couldn't help but sigh as the blissful heat quickly dissipated. Well, at least she was clean now. 'Adventuring' hadn't been quite as rough as she'd been expecting so far, but night after night of sleeping on the hard ground and bathing in cold streams, if they were lucky, would take a bit of getting used to.<br/><br/>After drying herself quickly, Aylin retrieved her last clean set of clothing and began to dress. All together it looked much like what she'd worn every day since she'd left home, the only changes day to day being the particular blue and gray shades of the fabric. A simple tunic, sleeveless and tailored to offer as much freedom of movement as possible, a loose skirt wrapped so it would flow away from her legs if she needed to flee, and a simple silk sash around her waist. Lastly she donned a pair of dark blue leggings and her sturdy, calf-high leather boots.<br/><br/>Several minutes later she descended the stairs, flipping a few errant locks of dark auburn hair behind her back, and quickly spotted the others.

With the patrons, of course, come several  ladies of the night who are made obvious by their attire and the way they ply their trade amongst some of the customers who have consumed more than their fair share of fury and seem to have the coin enough for other entertainment. By the look of it, the ladies seem to have some kind of tentative arrangement with Darius, who seems more than willing to turn a blind eye and even grabs onto the odd handful of soft, pink skin in the process, as the girls giggle and put on a poor show of acting coy.<br/><br/>The rain falls lightly outside, and it’s not until later in the evening that a man of particular interest to the party emerges. He stands quite tall and has an athletic appearance to his frame as he passes the threshold of the door and enters the inn, brushing the light rain from his shoulders. Removing his grey cloak to reveal an angular face under a matt of dirty blonde hair, he makes his way over to the bar and orders a drink from Darius. In the conversation that ensues, an exchange of information can be see between the pair as Darius points in the direction of the party and the man thanks him with a handful of coins before he picks up his drink and heads over towards the party.<br/><br/>“Greetings friends.” He says in a tone to catch the attention of the group, clearly refined despite his appearance as a man who spends much of his time outdoors. “I’ve a job proposal of an unusual nature and I’m told you may very well possess the talents I require…” His voice trails off as he looks about the group for a confirmation of some kind."

He was in realatively peaceful surroundings, with the blurry visage of a man hovering above him. His eyes felt heavy and warm as he struggled to get a better view; and his head was troubled by a lingering headache that felt much like he was suffering the excesses of the night before, though it was clear that he was still very much on this plane of existence.<br/><br/>All he could remember from the night before was the five or so shadowy figures who had ambushed him on the streets. They had all worn cloaks and concealed their features, which had not allowed him to gain any insight into the appearance of any of them, save a brief glimpse at the tattoo of a long, black knife on the inside of the forearm of the man who spoke to him - a man whose voice had a sinister edge to it. Before he knew it, Ceol had been struck by multiple hits from his flank and quickly fallen unconscious. As he reached for his side, Ceol found that the bolts that had troubled him earlier were no longer present. His wounds had been tended to and his side was bandaged in a way that indicated that someone with at least some healing skill had seen to him in the time that he was unconscious. His gear, seemingly missing a few items, appeared to be laid out neatly on a nearby table.<br/><br/>The man with him was quite handsome, clean-shaven with strong, manly features and striking, light blue eyes that seemed to have an incredible depth and wisdom about them. With dark, medium-length hair with a certain grace about him, he spoke with a resonant but subdued tone to the barbarian. “Welcome back, my friend. It is clear that your time has not yet come, the Lord of the Dead has decided that there are things you are yet to complete… though, you might make it a little easier by avoiding the streets of the city at that hour of the night by yourself!”<br/><br/>He takes care of a few things before speaking again, “My name is Balthor. I am a cleric of Kossuth and I have tended to your wounds. You are currently at the house of a friend of mine, which is where I am resting during my time in town, though I think we should get you back to wherever it is you are staying, hmmm?”<br/><br/>With the exchange of a few details, Balthor aided Ceol to return to the Frisky Goblin, where a breakfast of bread, cheese and fruit has been laid out for the inn’s patrons. The events of the past evening have past and those who are up and about have had a chance to perform their morning rituals; with the time quickly approaching towards the meeting with the party’s potential employer.<br/><br/>[We’re in the Frisky Goblin.

Giving Darius a sneaky grin, he held out his hand to Sanora. ""I think my companion here had a bit of a shaky start earlier. With your leave, I'd be pleased to help her out on the dance floor."" Winking to Sanora, with Darius' consent his hand took hers and drew her toward the stage where the hafling fiddler still played.<br/><br/>Reaching the open space and coming to stand there, he took her other hand in his, leaning closely to whisper to her. ""Something a bit more risque might work better with this audience, Sanora."" Leaning back to give her an eyeful of gleaming mischief, Renolf turned to the fiddler as he came to a pause in his music. ""The Red Lantern, if you please.""<br/><br/>An almost legendary tale of love and lust, The Red Lantern was a favorite among establishments where 'ladies of the night' frequented, both for the desire it inspired in patrons, and the gentleness it encouraged toward women. At the flare of the halfling's bow, Ren began by stepping back and pulling Sanora to him.<br/><br/>While Ren initially led the movements of their dance, he challenged Sanora to lead the pace and brusk of the dance, letting her exert control as she felt more comfortable and exhilarated with the passionate music the halfling played.<br/><br/>Sanora’s eyes widened when Renolf asked her onto the stage.  She stepped into the other man’s arms, back straight, eyes lit up with pride, chestnut tresses shimmering in the lamplight.<br/><br/>Then he whispered too her and her cheeks flared scarlet.<br/><br/>In spite of her flustered response too the dance, Sanora began with steady and ready motions, swirling her skirt high as she danced in and out of his arms, seemingly impossibly limber as he dipped her, lips ever so close.<br/><br/>Her flusteredness grew, though, always one step ahead of her, and she kept falling short of the excellence she was truly capable of.  When she spun into his arms, back against his chest, arm curled around his head, Ren ran the backs his fingernails down her sides.  For a moment, the fullness of her lower lips glistened pink and a sensual moan seemed about to resonate with every  heart who watched, but the virgin’s inexperience rebelled and she choked back a giggle half way through as she rejected the caress and what was touching her deeply became a tickle!<br/><br/>Quirking a brow at Sanora's giggle, Ren's eyes were a mix of frustration and amusement. By the experience she spoke of, and her clear flexibility, skill, and occasional confidence, she was capable of a lot... and she was falling quite short of it. Perhaps, he mused, they ought to practice in private, to help Sanora become more acquainted with and accustomed to different styles of dancing. Renolf couldn't help but notice that she seemed somewhat naive - or ignorant? - to dancing with a partner.<br/><br/>Though Ren could use Sanora's flustered reaction to their benefit, to increase how sensually the performance could resonate with the crowd, her ticklishness diminished the effect. Seeing as fingers weren't helpful in the slightest, he let the contact of their bodies and their eyes and lips do more of the contact.<br/><br/>While Ren had been planning a risqué dance, the performance become more theatrical instead, with the dance providing the steps and movement to the interplay between the two. Given Sanora's apparent inexperience, Renolf shifted control and provided the direction, guiding and seducing her on-stage as if they were the two leads of the story.<br/><br/>Far more used to interacting with more experienced players, Ren nonetheless infused their movements with romantic energy, taking on the mantle of the dashing rogue with eyes only for the lovely girl before him. The dance became a heady, hedonistic drawing of a man passionately courting a woman, culminating finally in a breathless kiss that Renolf delivered flawlessly.<br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/>Sanora gasped to wakefulness in the morning with the memory of last night’s dance fresh  in her dreams.  Her bosoms threatened too heave out of her shift, and her cheeks burned.  When he’d taken control of the dance last night, she’d found herself light as a feather in his arms, flowing like her melted heart and skipping like her boiling blood.<br/><br/>If he’d crooked one finger after kissing her, her innocence would have been his for the taking, and what a beautiful surrender it would have been!<br/><br/>“Father is going to kill me,” she groaned.<br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/>Some time later, Sanora had cleaned herself up and donned her usual blue dress with the mithril link bodice and the carefully placed colorful ribbons.  Her two expensive daggers were strapped to her arms beneath her sleeves in drop sheathes, and her flute was away in it’s case.  She stashed her belongings carefully in her pack and shouldered it, then placed her healing wand securely in it’s sheath in her black leather boot.<br/><br/>Making her way down the stairs, Sanora joined her friends.  She offered each a good morning grin, though she flushed shyly when Ren met her eyes.<br/>"

""<strong>I mean, I'd love to see you do better.</strong>"" His provocative grin remains, his eyes challenging.<br/><br/>She huffed, but her cheeks went from Pink to crimson. After a  moment, her lip corners began to twitch.<br/><br/>Shifting to stand in front of her, he tilted his head at her, putting his hands on his hips, watching her with a broadening grin.<br/><br/>he stopped, then palced her hands on her hips.  Looking up into the young man's eyes with level regaurd, she began, ""Quite frankly, I'm proud of myself.  I was hardly at my best, but I earned my own meal, which is more than my mother has ever done in her life.""<br/><br/>Looking askance for a brief moment, Renolf's lips parted, his tongue touching his teeth before he spoke. ""<strong>There is no doubt you have the talent, but you lack experience.</strong>"" Offering his hand her to, Ren cocked a questioning look.<br/><br/>She sniffed. ""You  noticed."" Then she giggled and took his hand. ""That is why I am here, after all.""<br/><br/>Grinning, he pulled her to him suddenly, his eyes not far from hers. ""<strong>Put your heart into it, but let your mind keep its attention</strong>."" Lifting his arm, he spun her outward from him slowly, his eyes sticking to hers.<br/><br/>The chestnut haired girl glanced around in shock that Ren would start a dance here on the cobblestones. Then it struck her that there was nothing more natural in the world! He warmed her blood, which energized her.  His touch lit her skin with tingles, heightening her awareness.  Letting her mind go quite, focusing on his eyes while the rest of the world fell into place, Sanora flowed into flawless motion, spinning out to the full extension of their joined hands.<br/><br/>Dancing with the girl slowly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world to do, to slowly tango here, ignoring everyone else, he drew her back in and took her hands. Guiding her steps, his body moved without him having to watch his steps, his focus stilled on Sanora.<br/><br/>The world outside Ren faded too the background.  Her bossom hovering in barest contact with his chest guided her as much as their joined eyes.  Hand in hand, hanad on shoulder, hip warmed by his touch, her feet glided across the coblestones in smooth time.<br/><br/>Keenly aware of their surroundings, Renolf moved them toward obstacles, but deftly avoided them; touching her shoulder, squeezing her hand, pinching her hip, he gave silent directions to her, directing her to move with him and avoid as he did, and to do so gracefully, elegantly, seemingly effortlessly. ""<strong>Don't lose your head in public.</strong>""<br/><br/>Sanora tossed her curls over her shouldr and looked up into his eyes, grinning, ""Don't sell your partner short, Ren.  You don't need to pinch a girl to guide her.""<br/><br/>A smirk appeared on Ren's face, and he stopped giving all guidance, increasing the pace of their dance and the broadness of their movements, eliciting a mix of anger and enchantment amongst the crowds that moved around them and watched them. ""<strong>Show me you can keep up, then.</strong>""<br/><br/>Sweet smile widening to an energetic grin, Sanora rose to the challenge, slowly building up the sway to her hips and swirl to her skirts.<br/><br/>The dance unfolded into something incredibly energetic, following no set pattern or steps, and Renolf taunted and challenged her with sudden pulls and shifts of her body, pulling her down and swinging her under him, tilting his body to the side and rolling her across his back, picking her up and twirling her - the rogue was pulling out all the stops.<br/><br/>Sanora swishes her hips and runs her hands up Ren's chest to his shoulder.<br/><br/>Ending up with Sanora drawn close in the middle of the circle they etched out for themselves, faces barely apart, her smiled at her. ""<strong>If you're this good, what held you back before?</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>Mmm.</strong>"" He smirked slightly, inclining his head. ""<strong>You're not very good at covering, either.</strong>"" Pulling her in from the small of her back, he brought their mouths together and kissed her deeply.<br/><br/>Sanora gasped, back going stiff.  Her hands closed on his chest, flexing, not pressing him away but seeking the strength to press him away.<br/><br/>She did not find it.<br/><br/>Moaning softly, Sanora's lips opened into the kiss and her body melted against the acrobat's strong, lithe frame.<br/><br/>Feeling the tension against his chest from her hands, Renolf didn't carry the kiss very long, and drew back, regarding her eyes for a thin moment - and showing her a look of himself without any guard, deception, or play. Quietly, seriously, he asked her, ""Do you know what you want?""<br/><br/>Her eyes widened nervously when he pulled away. For a split instant her hands tightened on his tunic as if to pull him back. Her body arched forewards after him, but she stopped as their eyes joined. At his words, she whimpered softly. Her eyes closed, then opened. Then again. ""No,"" she whimpered.<br/><br/>Renolf's eyes softened as he smiled a smile with no happiness, a certain sadness and paradoxical desire in his expression. ""<strong>You're very beautiful, Sanora, and you have a sweet soul. I would regret taking advantage of your indecision.</strong>"" Leaning up, he brought his lips to her forehead, kissing her gently above the eyes.<br/><br/>Sanora whimpered and lay her head forewards, kissing Ren's heart. ""Damn you, Ren,"" she whimpered. ""You're a scoundrel, why do you have to be a better gentleman than any gentleman I've ever met?""  Her fist rapped his chest once, enough to express her distress without really hurting him.  Then she grabbed his shirt and pulled herself closr to him, ear over his heart, she gasped--almost a sob--thn whispered, ""Why can't you just make me want you in that way that makes it so easy to throw all my past to the wind and dance out into the future without ever looking back.""<br/><br/>Leaning down, he drew in breath and took in the sweet, heady smell of her hair, feeling an undeniable stir in his chest. Touching her cheek softly, fingers brushing against her skin, his embrace became more comforting and emotionally intimate than seductive. He whispered back to her after a moment of silence and deeply torn consideration. ""<strong>Would it last? Would a few months of whirlwind romance make your past truly fall away and let your heart break free from its chains?</strong>"" Swallowing with a breath, he nearly laughed, the aborted sound bittersweet. ""<strong>I want to help you dance into your future with the strength to endure on your own… not with a crutch of passion that can disappear with the smallest of storms.</strong>""<br/><br/>Sanora groaned again, releasing his shirt.  Her fists clenched at her sides, anad she whimpered softly, then turned away and strode towards the crossbow shop, whimpering throu a tight throat, ""I need to think!""<br/><br/>Letting out a deep sigh, half of great relief, he rubbed his forehead, tugged at his facial hair and laughed with the release of heavy emotion, muttering incoherently and following her toward the shop."

By dusk, the group has made reasonable headway along the path and enters an area of sparse forest which encroaches on either side of the road as they come across a small creek which runs alongside.

The Orpheus Group first swept into the public's attention following the broad collapse of the United States' information economy. Unlike scam artists and local fly-by-night operations, Orpheus Group had measurable, repeatable success in contacting the dead. The group first entered the public spotlight upon recovering a password protected US$100M worth of a chemical company's assets after a network engineer suffered a heart attack less than an hour after changing that password. Desperate for a success story, business reporters from all-news television, business magazines, and even the Wall Street Journal descended on the Orpheus Group and its charismatic CEO, Jack Tilton, playing them first as a novelty segment. Then, as they dug deeper, Orpheus Group became a true success story and a scientific phenomenon.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 11pt;"">Mission Statement</span></strong><br/><br/>Orpheus Group is a customer-driven, profit-focused company with a unique opportunity to expand into a previously untapped marketplace. We base our activities on a four-point strategy articulated by our CEO, Jack Tilton:<br/><br/>- Our people are our uniquely talented greatest resource.<br/>- Invest only for real returns; this is no carnival.<br/>- Attend to our customers' needs and their loved ones' unfinished business efficiently and professionally.<br/>- Explore this strange new experience scientifically and carefully.<br/><br/>We take our responsibility to the bereaved and to the recently departed seriously. Every Orpheus Group representative adheres to a strict code of conduct, ensuring our clients receive a respectful and professional experience. You will not find Orpheus Group commercials on late night cable television, nor Orpheus Group sponsorship of sporting events, no matter how large we grow.<br/><br/>Orpheus group employs some of the world's leading researchers in physics, cosmology, psychiatry and psychology, and periodically consults with religious officials from across the globe. We are the primary sponsor of the upcoming World Conference on the Afterlife in Breda, The Netherlands.<br/><br/>With all that said, we are a nationwide for-profit corporation, not a funeral home. We don't dress our consultants in black suits or play organ music in the offices. Per the second point in our strategy statement, this is no carnival, and it is not a charity. Orpheus Group provides a unique service in the world, and we are the leading corporation in our market space.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 11pt;"">History</span></strong><br/><br/>The Orpheus Group has always been an ambitious organization. Starting from its founding by engineer Bob Jackson and physician Anne Del Greco in 1986, Orpheus Group set out to redefine the way society manages human life and livelihoods.<br/><br/>In those early days, Jackson and Del Greco believed passionately that medical science was on the verge of multiple breakthroughs - the sorts of breakthroughs we see today, with human genetic engineering well along the way to common implementation. Microscopically precise laser surgery allows for previously impossible surgical tasks, and the unlimited promise of stem cell research lays before us. Jackson and Del Greco realized those days were coming and they wanted to provide a unique service: Together, they knew several terminally ill, wealthy individuals who shared the same optimism about medical science.<br/><br/>Jackson and Del Greco undertook their first cryogenics project while moonlighting from their day jobs. Neither could afford devoting their full energies to human cryogenics in those early days, and they used their most eager potential client, Jane Kennedy, as something of a guinea pig. Kennedy, only 37, was suffering from several then-untreatable tumors, but she had robust enough personal assets to provide startup funding for Jackson and Del Greco's early activity under the corporate name JDG Cryogenics. Kennedy was also an adherent of Eastern religion, a viewpoint she says prepared her to accept some important experiences that were yet to come.<br/><br/>Amazingly, five years after Jane Kennedy became JDG Cryogenics' first customer, surgical techniques advanced to the point where her tumors were no longer inoperable. Del Greco scheduled Kennedy's emergence from cryogenic suspension to occur simultaneously with her laparoscopic surgery, engaging some of the finest oncologists in North America.<br/><br/>Kennedy survived, as you may know, and upon her full recovery became one of JDG Cryogencis' greatest supporters. Less well known is the extent to which Jackson and Del Greco relied on Kennedy's trusts to keep JDG Cryogenics operational. When Kennedy emerged from suspended storage, she found herself the owner of a full 25% of JDG Cryogenics, and saw the great possibility of things to come.<br/><br/>Jane Kennedy, as her book<em>The Other Side?</em>describes, was more aware of her environment than she expected to be while cryogencially suspended. The flavor of her frozen coma ebbed and flowed over time, and in at least three incidents, she recalls leaving her body and witnessing the world we know as it changed over the five years of her suspended animation. Kennedy saw and interacted with ghosts while ""projecting"" and also eavesdropped on conversations throughout the city. When she became conscious, she provided convincing evidence of having witnessed these conversations, often providing details that even the original participants had forgotten about.<br/><br/>Jane Kennedy was not the only patient to emerge and find themselves with an equity stake. Within seven years after JDG Cryogenics' founding, four others emerged from cryogenic suspension with shares of stock in place of the money they expected to have held in trust. This group - including heart disease survivor George Oliver - hardly acted with a single mind, but they now owned more of the company than did Jackson and Del Greco.<br/><br/>Jane Kennedy convinced the rest of the Board that cryogenics alone would not provide a profit center for this company. She was not the only cryosleep subject who experienced strange hallucinations and astral projection while unconscious, and Kennedy, along with Anne Del Greco was sure that Kennedy's experiences could somehow generate revenue. With a stroke of the pen, JDG Cryogenics became the Orpheus Group in 1994, named for the Greek mythological character who entered the realm of the dead to free his deceased wife, Eurydice, from torment. Orpheus Group launched a broad and deep study of the afterlife, of post-life entities, and of the precise chemical cocktail enabling them to project their consciousness out into the world while metabolically near death.<br/><br/>We would be remiss if we did not mention the interest, even at this early date, that the United States Federal Government took in the Orpheus Group. When issues of national security are at stake, Orpheus Group is front and center in performing its duty to our country. To the early Orpheus Executive Leadership Team's surprise, the National Security Agency and other groups did not demand a shutdown of the company's activities or any similar government interference in the free market process. Instead, the US Government retains a courtesy seat on the Orpheus Group Board of Directors.<br/><br/>Tragedy struck the Orpheus Group in 1996, with the untimely death of co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Bob Jackson. Jackson, then in his early fifties, suffered a heart attack, leaving the Orpheus Group rudderless and without direction. The days after Bob Jackson's death were difficult for everyone involved with Orpheus Group; for a time it appeared that the lack of new business, combined with new regulatory difficulties with the Food and Drug Administration, might scuttle the company entirely. Chairman of the Board George Oliver stepped in as Acting CEO while the company searched for a new captain of the ship.<br/><br/>George Oliver continued functioning as acting CEO for almost two full years, until the Board authorized the hiring of Jack Tilton, an energetic young executive from the steel industry, to take Orpheus' helm. Tilton immediately changed Orpheus' direction, bringing in talented executives from many industries to fill key management positions.<br/><br/>Tilton also took a leadership role in a previously understated position. Until 1998, Orpheus had kept below the radar in terms of public relations. The company's services were only affordable by the very wealthy, and  Orpheus management had previously been ambivalent about the market value of its post-life projection technology. Tilton turned all this around. He undertook a crusade to raise the company's public image, to make its activities clear to anyone who asked, and he directed Orpheus' scientific staff to publish rigorous papers describing the company's activities and hypotheses around post-life technology.<br/><br/>The mainstream science establishment and press heaped skepticism and even scorn on these early publications, but Orpheus Group persisted, and has since issued continued documented proof to major scientific journals. By 2000, at least two other ventures were formed on the basis of Orpheus' theoretical groundings, and we expected that in two y ears, post-life technology will become its own unique sector of the economy.<br/><br/>In the years since Jack Tilton raised Orpheus Group's visibility, our goal has been to refine post-life technology. Our enterprise for doing so has been Project Echo, the secret process by which we train and prepare extraordinary people to project their consciousness onto a higher plane, where they can sense and interact with ghosts. These people function as our Investigative Consultants, and they help to resolve mysteries and ghostly infestations that no one else can handle.<br/><br/>Orpheus Group has been profitable since 1998 and remains a trailblazer in its market sector. Gartner Group, GIGA and Forrester Research all rate Orpheus Group among the market leaders in whichever industry area they choose to categorize us.

You are part of the Investigate Consultants, the professionals that do the work of the missions. Each assignment has a<strong>Project Leader</strong>that guides the team of Investigative Consultants, or ICs. Many Project Leaders work behind the scenes from the office, rather than get involved in the field. It's the<strong>Lead Investigator's</strong>job to head up the team in the field and help them learn the ropes. They're sometimes the Project Leader as well.<br/><br/>Orpheus maintains a dedicated<strong>Training Team</strong>to train new recruits and provide expertise and research information. As a new recruit, you were trained by the Training Team. Since Orpheus recruits from a very broad pool, the Team trains new recruits in any of the following they aren't already skilled in or knowledgeable with:<br/><br/>Psychology<br/>Basic Physics<br/>Electromagnetism<br/>Life Sciences<br/>Sociology<br/>Philosophy of Life and Death<br/>Comparative Religion<br/>Introductory Business Communications<br/><br/>ICs who are going to do work in the field are also trained in basic physical training and self-defense. ICs may also receive firearms certification and private detective license certification.<br/><br/>Orpheus Group also has other organizations, as appropriate for a corporation of its size. It maintains a Public Affairs organization, an Information Technology organization, an Engineering organization, a Life Sciences organization, an Accounting and Finance organization, and a People Services organization (Orpheus' version of Human Resources).<br/><br/>You get your pay from the People Services, and they may have offered you very nice benefits; they also mediate disputes and problems within the ICs and other teams and run the Internal Security services. Life Sciences tend to your wounds if you're a skimmer, or take care of the cryogenic process if you're a sleeper (monitoring the ""cradles"" that hold the flatlined bodies of sleepers who are projecting).<br/><br/>Engineering works on the technology that fuels Orpheus' operations. The rest is just as direct as it sounds.<br/><br/>All of this is kept in one building, with private parking for employees, dormitory rooms for new recruits that are in their training phase, well-kept grounds and outdoor recreation facilities, and indoor training facilities.<br/><br/>As ICs, at the graduation of your training program, where you learn how to project and use your powers, known as ""Horrors"" amongst the veteran ICs, Orpheus assigns you to a ""Crucible."" Crucibles are groups of ICs that work together in the long-term, providing a complementary set of powers, skills, talents, and knowledges. Orpheus psychologists carefully assemble the group, choosing the members based on personalities as well as paranormal powers, to produce an effective, functioning team of agents. Of course, there may occasionally be emergencies when Orpheus needs a particular set of talents for an important mission at short notice (or when a particular agent loses his team from attrition or due to general complaint), and is assigned elsewhere.<br/><br/>The most important part of being in a Crucible, aside from working together effectively and efficiently through teamwork and practice, is that crucibles can learn how to use their powers in tandem and to share Vitality. This frequently creates strong connections inside the crucible; the more Orpheus operatives work on sharing this link, the better their talents work in proximity to each other. An effective crucible is far more than the sum of its parts.<br/><br/><hr/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 15pt;"">A Lesson on Crucibles and Bonds</span></span><br/><br/>Ilona: ""Think of them as your team and soon to be family. It's unavoidable, so get used to it. Crucible members can share Vitality, which we already talked about, but that sharing also develops a strong bond between you and your teammates. What sort of bond? Heh, you have no idea. The bond isn't some mind-control thing, but it does allow you to understand your teammates and how they plan on using their Horrors. It's the exact same thing that happens with military units when they each have a role and know exactly how their buddy's going to respond. Exactly the same here. When someone is about to use their power, you automatically have a way of helping them out, increasing their effect, or the range, duration, whatever. It's all part of an effective crucible.<br/><br/>Everyone, this is Ted Verge, a member of my crucible. He's kindly volunteered to assist me in this demonstration. Everybody say, ""Hi, Ted."" Now, Ted's going to use the basic Poltergeist power to toss these cans at the ceiling. I will be using the Inhabit technique to put a time delay on his Horror, allowing both of us to get out from underneath the resulting shower of aluminum. Watch what we do; you should be able to see the powers combine and take effect. Ready? One, two, three.<br/><br/>There, did you catch that? Now, dodging a bunch of empty cans isn't particularly useful, but I'm sure all of you are smart enough to see some of the other possibilities. Working together, you and your crucible can make your Horrors last longer, hit harder, cut cleaner. When you get yourselves into a real jam, you'll get out together, or not at all.<br/><br/>Now, did you notice anything else about how that worked? It looks pretty intimate, doesn't it? Now watch this carefully. Ted, hit me with a little juice. Aww yeah, you always do that so nice. Now I see that some of you look shocked - some of you even looked away. My life energy, Ted's life energy, all melded together, ebbing and flowing back and forth. It doesn't get much more intimate than that. It's the kind of close bond you've probably only ever had with a lover. I like to say that the experience is about right in the middle between an intense mutual orgasm, and finishing a complex jigsaw puzzle together.<br/><br/>Some of you are laughing. And some of you are panicking - I can see your thoughts now, ""But I don't even like most of these people!"" Start looking for good qualities in everybody, because once you're assigned to a crucible, your lives are in each others hands. Skimmers, get used to giving yourselves away, and sleepers, get used to taking it. You'll need to constantly monitor your well-being to keep your crucible in peak operating condition, and to keep each other alive.<br/><br/>That's all for today. Spend tonight getting very comfortable with the idea of sharing - crucible assignments will be distributed tomorrow.""<br/><br/><hr/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 15pt;"">Public Opinion of Orpheus</span></span><br/><br/>Despite Orpheus' general secrecy about the precise details of what it does, there's been more people noticing things going on lately. Increased ""paranormal phenomena"" or simply ""manifestations of the supernatural"" are growing in frequency. Pigment is becoming more common on the streets. Strange late-night broadcasts are alarming stay-at-homes who just want a quiet evening with some beer and an action movie. Of course, not everyone has the same idea of what's happening (or what to do about it), and even fewer people have any inkling of the truth Orpheus shields from them.<br/><br/>For the sake of public morale and general sanity, this is a good, good thing. Imagine the panic of the average man in the streets knew what ghosts could do to him, or that Spectres exist, or the capabilities of our agents.<br/><br/>This doesn't mean the public sees the Orpheus Group with any particular suspicion. People generally give us the same degree of belief as Nigerian bank email scams, televangelists and used car salesman. If anything, the regular primetime broadcasts means the public is<em>more</em>likely to see us as a shameless attempt to cash in on current beliefs, albeit a popular attempt with the same following as trashy daytime talk shows. I never thought I'd be grateful for the cynicism of the American Public, but I am.<br/><br/>The newspapers exploit any supernatural incidents in the classic ways. Serious papers ignore the whole topic, or write it up as public hysteria, with occasional columns by psychologists or sociologists about the recent wave of ""ghost sightings."" Tabloids and Sunday magazines publish double-page spreads with blurred photographs, eyewitness accounts and testimony from ""experts int he occult."" They do realize, however, that they need something better than this to maintain public interest and sell more papers, so they're looking for evidence. Any Orpheus members who talk too loudly near a reporter will probably find themselves hounded for a statement. Hopefully the screenings and briefings should teach our operatives not to be this stupid, but we both know people are morons. This also increases the probability that really far-out commentary will actually reach publication, rather than simply being thrown out when it hits the editor's desk. That story about ""The Virgin Mary Possessed My Telephone and Ran Up My Phone Bill"" might get through, while the Haunter who inspired it had better hope that the photo of her isn't recognizable.<br/><br/>Television, on the other hand, seized on the whole question of ghosts and the supernatural like flies on honey. You've probably already seen some of the new television programs springing up to discuss, debate, or profit from the issue. The Networks are already working on formats for reality TV shows set in haunted houses. Any of our compromised operatives, known to investigate paranormal issues, could receive an invitation to join a panel on a new program concerning poltergeist activity. Equally, the pigment question has been seized on by  the more perceptive modern youth shows, and episodes involving look-alike drugs are scheduled to air in several popular teenage series. I'm sure they'll have<em>such</em>an impact.<br/><br/>Orpheus keeps internal matters very quiet, and demands discretion from their clients. Many comply, the fear being: If Orpheus took the ghosts away, they can bring them back. Generally, however, the people who have the money to employ Orpheus also have the sense to stay quiet, if only because their involvement in the matter is embarrassing. The clients whom we take on for research purposes (and who haven't the cash or power to actually know who they're dealing with) are dealt with through several layers of secrecy. We leave them under the impression our operatives are members of the FBI, or students of the paranormal, or represent the Seventh Chakra Buddhist Wave and want to investigate their building's Feng Shui, or similar such cover stories. If Orpheus can conduct their research without the client even knowing it happened, all the better.<br/><br/>Of course, things do leak out. We don't mind being public to an extent, given that we're advertising our services on prime-time television, but there are things leaking round the edges, true and untrue, that might be awkward in the future. Rumors of a new clandestine government agency focusing on the supernatural pervade the Internet, and short-circuit the<em>X-Files</em>fan groups with new and far more interesting topics. Conspiracy theory magazines lap up this sort of garbage, stymied only by a shortage of evidence, but willing to connect ghost stories with mysterious Men in Black and provide a suitably paranoid explanation. Theorists explain pigment through theories that the government is testing a new combat or docility drug on the inner cities. This sort of thing muddies the waters when it comes to our genuine work - but, as I said earlier, it's in the nature of human beings to be morons, right?<br/><br/>But for the rest of the world - for all the quote normal people - life hasn't changed. Certainly, some claim to have seen ghosts, but people always say that. People d ie from drugs, or have strange hallucinations. That's normal, too. There may be a statistically significant rise in the number of incidents reported to the police, or in the newspapers, or mentioned on television, but it's not quite enough... yet. The tide is rising, however. Three movies starring heroic ghost-hunters are in the works at Tinsel Town. Feng Shui book sales are up. More psychics are earning columns in the newspapers. The more dramatic churches are gaining parishioners. The average person is learning how to spell<em>houngan</em>and<em>omyouji</em>properly.<br/><br/>For the moment, though, things are under control. The tide hasn't risen quite far enough yet."

It is simply a tool to help you flesh out the details of your character and to help me assign the statistics for your starting character. Detailing a couple-paragraph description of your character can substitute for this just fine; feel free to use it for inspiration, though.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>I. Appearance:</strong>What does your character look like? How do you dress and take care of your hygiene? What's your posture and physical attitude like?<br/><br/>Are you confident, shy, shrewd, paranoid, ugly, plain, handsome? Do you prefer rugged clothing, casual dress, or well-tailored suits?<br/><br/><br/><strong>II. Quirks:</strong>Everyone has unique habits, anecdotes, interests and hobbies. Give your character some unique details.<br/><br/>Do you know the national anthem by heart? Do you always wear the same pair of cowboy boots? Do you speak with a Southern drawl? Do you detest European beer? Do you have a catch-phrase, or trademark gesture? Are you afraid of spiders? Do you have any superstitions?<br/><br/>Get creative.<br/><br/><br/><strong>III. Social Ties:</strong>Think about your character's life (or previous life, if you're a ghost).<br/><br/>Are your parents still alive? What's your family like? Are you married? Do you have children? Do you hang out with your neighbors, socialize with co-workers? Do you have any good friends, or common acquaintances you hang out with?<br/><br/>How have these relationships changed since you joined Orpheus?<br/><br/>I'll be using your social ties to great effect in the course of the chronicle, so the more details, the better... otherwise I'll invent my own.<br/><br/><br/><strong>IV. Motivations:</strong>What drives your character? Why are you working with Orpheus and risking your life on dangerous missions?<br/><br/>Do you feel that it's worthwhile to help lost souls? Are you here just for the money? Are you a thrill-seeker? Do you have religious convictions? Personal vendettas? Scientific curiosity? Remorse for previous sins?<br/><br/>What is your greatest regret? Your greatest fear? Your greatest love? Your greatest hate?<br/><br/>Think hard on this one; it should play into most of your character's choices.<br/><br/><br/><strong>V. History:</strong>Here are some questions about what's gone on in your character's life.<br/><br/>Where are you from? What was growing up like?<br/><br/>What do you believe in (religion, spirituality, nothing, etc)?<br/><br/>When did you first nearly die? How did that near-death change you?<br/><br/>When did you first encounter ghosts? What did you think about Orpheus before getting hired?<br/><br/>What do you think about Orpheus now? What do you think about its rivals? Do you trust Orpheus?<br/><br/>Again, feel free to get creative here.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>VI. Attributes:</strong>Everyone is born with certain aptitudes, and we hone ourselves more in certain areas than others.<br/><br/>Are you physically tough? Did you work out a lot, or do a job that developed muscle? Do you rarely get sick? Are you really weak or feeble? Are you fast and agile? How's your hand-eye coordination? Are you graceful or awkward?<br/><br/>Are you charming? Are people drawn to you, or do you repel them? Are you just average? Can you convince people with ease? Do you have to threaten people to get your way? Does everyone walk all over you?<br/><br/>Can you handle complex math problems? Do you learn new material quickly? Do you react quickly to dangerous or difficult situations? Do you shut down? Do you only think of good comebacks minutes after the confrontation is over? What's your IQ?<br/><br/>These should come naturally out of your character's concepts, of course.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>VII. Abilities:</strong>These encompass what your character is good at.<br/><br/>Are you good in a brawl? Sharp aim with a gun? Can you drive a car like pro racers? Can you handle a knife or a baton?<br/><br/>Are you good at influencing people? Can you express yourself clearly and convincingly? Do you know just how to push someone into backing off or giving in? Can you lie well? Do you pick up on other people's emotions quickly?<br/><br/>Can you spot trouble before it happens? Do you react fast? Did you grow up on the streets and know the talk, the walk? Do you know what to say to high society to get in their graces? Can you talk your way through bureaucratic red tape?<br/><br/>Is your intuition strong? Are you an artist? Great at carpentry? Can you build engines? Do you know your way around a computer? Could you disarm a bomb? Get past an electronic lock?<br/><br/>How are you on stage? Can you impersonate the stars? Can you get animals to come to you, listen, and treat you with respect? Could you survive for a week in the woods with only a knife?<br/><br/>What do you know about Law? Business? Academia? Finance and accounting? Medicine? Did you study the occult and the paranormal? Are you a doctor, a scientist, an engineer, or a lawyer?<br/><br/>Do you know any other languages? Are you athletic? Do you know about politics and how to maneuver through them?<br/><br/>Think about what your character knows and what they can do well. Be reasonable, of course."

Appearance:</strong><br/>He likes to be well dressed because it encourages his new found sense of being better than everyone.  Before he learned to project he was very repressed and simply tried to fit in.  His preferred style of dress would be best described as business casual.  Professional, but still comfortable.  Both elements fit his emerging personality, the professional aspect helps him feel superior both in status and taste, the casual part helps him project the idea that he really doesn't care about other people enough to put himself in any kind of discomfort.<br/><br/><strong>II. Quirks:</strong><br/>For most of his life Jonah has been in a state of extreme repression.  He didn't talk to people much because he hated them for perceived insults whether his suspicions were founded in fact are debatable.  With the courage and airs of superiority that have arisen in his personality as a result of being able to project he know feels like being the center of attention.  However, without the years of social development under his belt to help him steer his way through a conversation he generally steals the anecdotes and mannerisms that he notices yield the greatest responses.  One thing that is truly his own quirk, but not particularly unique, is his restless legs whenever he is lost in thought, nervous, or bored.<br/><br/><strong>III. Social Ties:</strong><br/>Jonah is most assuredly one of those who has very few ties.  While his father is still alive he is currently residing in the hospitable walls of a federal prison.  His crime?  Well, Jonah believes the years of mental and emotional abuse sustained by his mother and him qualify for his current sentence.  Seeing his face plastered in the newspapers as yet another greedy embezzler swindling loyal hard working employees out of their retirements was priceless enough that Jonah made sure to frame it in his living room.  His fathers public disgrace was made sweeter by the fact that his own son had set him up and now enjoyed all the money that was ""lost"" to Swiss bank accounts.  Since he began projecting he still maintains few social ties, at least in his own body.  Jonah has been using his abilities to inhabit the bodies of others to get his fill of the party circuit.<br/><br/><strong>IV. Motivations:</strong><br/>Before a particularly annoying Orpheus agent made himself aware of Jonah's plot to frame his father, Jonah had assumed he was the only person with such wondrous gifts.  Now he knows the truth, unfortunately.  There are others out there with similar, perhaps even greater powers.  Jonah doesn't like that thought.  For too long he has been repressed and made to feel like he could accomplish nothing.  His dreams were made true when he learned to project.  Finally it was within his power to change his destiny, he had super powers for Christsake!  And just like that, he learns that he's actually at the bottom of the totem poll.  There are other agents out there more experienced and more powerful than him.  Well to hell with that!  He didn't transform into fucking Superman only to be told that, ""Superman is soo last year...""<br/><br/><strong>V. History:</strong><br/>Jonah grew up in an emotionally abusive home.  His experiences fostered an intense inferiority complex which hindered his social development from childhood to the present day.  His home was not religious and didn't encourage belief or disbelief in any particular thing, spirituality was mostly an untouched topic in the Mackelwrath home.  However, in order to escape from his ordeals as a child, Jonah escaped into his own worlds of fantasy.  Even as an adult he always hoped the magic, and wonder of his favorite escapes were truly real, but he always acknowledged it as a fanciful belief.  That is, until he discovered the power to project.  In an instant all the possibilities of his fantasy worlds became possible.  Life for Jonah had changed to something bearable, maybe even wonderful.  Unfortunately, years and years of abusive and exclusion had created a very repressed, very angry spirit inside Jonah.  Instead of using his new found powers to escape into the revelry of life's new possibilities, he began using them to enact his vengeance on all those he believed had wronged him.  After training at Orpheus he realized he was on the fast track to mutating himself into something akin to a spectre, something he took very seriously now believing that anything ever imagined could in truth be real.  Time will tell if Jonah will truly be able to control the decades of cancerous spite built up within him, or if he will choose to release and become the nightmare of any who stand in his way.<br/><br/><strong>VI. Attributes:</strong><br/>Jonah's greatest assest is his calculating mind.  With very little knowledge of the real social aspect of people he summed people up by their observable traits.  The types of coffee they drank, the clothes they wore, the way they carried themselves, their mannerisms, life was basically a television show for him with characters he could research and predict.  With their traits in mind it was easy for him to create fantasies of how they would react in certain situations.  Despite having been cast out of their social circles at every turn Jonah was very adept at reading people.  He used this talent several times to hack into coworkers emails and find out even more information about their lives.  Until recently all these thoughts, these plans, remained in a somewhat harmless domain of his conscious mind.  Having attained the powers of projection though all fears of consequence were washed away allowing him to play with some of his favorite plans.<br/><br/><strong>VII. Abilities:</strong><br/>Jonah is completely internal.  The arts are beyond him, but to him lots of things can be considered art.  Like uncovering secure documents or hidden passwords with a well written virus, whose to say that is any less beautiful than some painting of a flower?  Talking to people has never been his strongsuit, but by the time he was entering the work force he realized that keeping quiet and mysterious was always more fun than attempting to engage people and failing.  He likes being informed about things, especially things he knows others around him are interested in.  One of his favorite hobbies is to research the topic of an overheard conversation and be able to argue any point better than the people originally having the conversation.  Mathematics is always something he enjoys because, before projecting, nothing was more satisfying than being able to completely stump some knowingly with a well formed algorithm.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Character Snapshot</strong><br/>Full Name: Jonah Mackelwrath<br/>Sex: Male<br/>Ethnicity: Caucasian<br/>Age: 26<br/>Previous Lifestyle / Occupation: Accountant<br/>Orpheus Recruiting Experience: Jonah discovered his ability to project through repeated use of Pigment.  He became hooked and let himself run wild with his new found powers of Puppetry.  After successfully setting up his father for an embezzlement scam Jonah himself conducted, an Orpheus agent gave him two options.  Either go to prison after the agent arranged evidence to be sent to detectives, or stop his drug abuse and irresponsible use of his powers and come work for Orpheus.  Being a coward he went with the latter.<br/>Horrors: Puppetry, Juggernaut<br/>Personality Concept: Snake in the Grass<br/>Appearance: (http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky8vcdnkqc1qa4dazo1_250.jpg)"

Before, he'd barely talked to shrinks because he didn't want them to think he was nuts. Hearing voices is, after all, a sure sign of madness. However, after the all-time-low of trying to end his life it felt like he had no shame left and so he talked like he'd never talked before. It was the psychiatrist who suggested he might not be mad, but he might be haunted. Orpheus was called in, initially for treatment purposes only. It soon became clear that Mark had special skills that might be of use to the organisation.<br/><br/><strong>I. Appearance:</strong><br/>Big and bulky like a rugby player and – after so many years of feeling like a freak and a failure – shy and awkward. Slouches.<br/><br/>Clothing and hygiene is dependent on his mood-swings. Mark has good dress sense and is not unattractive-looking so he can make an impression when trying. However, on his worst days he fails to do such basic things as showering, shaving and brushing his teeth and dresses in anything that’s readily available (he can’t bring himself to do laundry). Since joining Orpheus, he’s been learning to handle his bad days better.<br/><br/>Wears leather armbands to hide the scars on his wrists.<br/><br/>Prefers to dress casually.<br/><br/><strong>II. Quirks:</strong><br/>On good days Mark’s a nice guy, a bit shy, with a good sense of humour. On bad days he’s closed, quiet, hard to motivate and spiteful - strangely enough his powers seem to work better on these days.<br/><br/>When he starts something it becomes a kind of obsession, this goes for both work and relaxing activities (playing computer games, working out, reading). Focusing like this helps him block out all else and makes him feel better at least while he’s doing it.<br/><br/><strong>III. Social Ties:</strong><br/>Has a caring mother and father but moved out at quite a young age because the loving and well-meant attention bothered him. They did their best to help him but more often than not couldn’t but still worried and fussed. This made him feel both harassed and guilty. Since moving out he's kept in touch, though he failed to answer their phone-calls whenever he was feeling low.<br/><br/>Contact with his parents has improved since joining Orpheus. His family feels like he’s well looked after. Finally being able to hold a job helps too. Now if only he could find a nice girl.<br/><br/>He has an older brother, his name's Dan. They don't get along and don't keep in touch.<br/><br/><strong>IV. Motivations:</strong><br/>Mark has been plagued by headaches and hearing voices for about as long as he can remember – a maddening whispering on the edge of hearing, insane screaming only he can hear. This has severely affected his life and still does. His condition, initially thought to be a kind of mental disorder, kept him from succeeding at school and in his working life. From there, he's sort of slipped down the social ladder. Earned money only through welfare, used drugs and alcohol to feel better, lived through the computer because going out confronted him with other people (whom he imagined could tell what a failure/loser/freak he was simply by looking). Finally, he tried to end it all.<br/><br/>Joining Orpheus has improved his life dramatically and this causes him to be extremely dedicated and loyal to the organisation.<br/><br/>Greatest regret: possibly not finding Orpheus sooner. Greatest fear: going nuts. Greatest love: the quiet moments when life is normal. Real early morning, when everyone including the spooks is still asleep is the best time. He likes to do an early-morning jog.<br/><br/><strong>IV. Attributes:</strong><br/>Mark is good at physical activities like sports and - since joining the organisation - combat.<br/><br/>Socially, he can be both charming and uncharming (dependant on his mood-swings). At his best, he's a nice, fun guy who despite his bulk comes across as nonthreatening. This makes him good at gaining people's trust and getting them to talk to him. Other than that, he's not very good at convincing people. And, despite his physique and scary powers, not good at threatening them either. His still-low self-esteem makes it easy to walk all over him.<br/><br/>Mental: has a decent head on his shoulders, good memory. Poorly educated but did pick up a lot of stuff simply from reading books and surfing the internet.<br/><br/><strong>V. Abilities:</strong><br/>Mark is athletic and has learned fighting skills during his Orpheus training (unarmed, melee weapons like a knife and a batton, firearms). Has a drivers license. Knows his way around a computer. Likes to read just about anything he can get his hands on."

She is tall and lean, with a sun kissed face and an easy smile. She appears amused by her lot in life. She has rather tatty dreadlocks claiming that she is too lazy to have anything else. She is anything but lazy but likes to keep things simple, her clothes certainly attest to that, even if some of them are somewhat bright. One might describe her as non conventional.<br/><br/>http://www.newhairstyles2010.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/cc5cc_dreadlocks_pictures.jpg (http://www.newhairstyles2010.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/cc5cc_dreadlocks_pictures.jpg)<br/><br/><br/>Quirks: Well apart from the dreadlocks and the quirky hairstyle, Lilly is a pretty laid back individual. She does tend to twist her front ‘locks about her fingers when she gets nervous, though the smile always remains on her face. In general she is just a pleasant easy going woman that is sociable and enjoys company.  She certainly has a good sense of humour and is able to laugh at herself. Lilly does have a smoke and the occasional illegal product though that’s just another rush for her.<br/><br/>Social Ties: Lilly is from a small Island from the coast of Scotland though that has not stopped her travelling the world, performing more and more feats of a dangerous nature. During her travels she has met many interesting individuals. Some like her, some that are natives and her occasional narcotic activities have brought her yet more acquaintances. Her ties are loose and free like her, still there is usually someone that will offer the goods should they be needed. Though she lost her mother when she was very young her father and brother still remain in her family home, and always welcome Lilly back from her travels. Though she is distant there is still a closeness in the family.<br/><br/>Motivations: Well being somewhat of an adrenaline junkie Lilly has more than a few quirks. Many would call it a death wish; she calls it a life wish. The woman loves to take risks, the greater the risks the more fun it is, thus she will more than happily throw herself into dangerous situations and come out laughing at least if she survives.<br/><br/><br/><br/>History: Lilly was born on a small Island off the coast of Scotland, she had loving parents and one sister also three brothers, the family fished for a primary living, and her mother knitted and wove for the ‘expensive tourist shops on the mainland. Her life as a child was relatively good, they were not rich but they survived well enough on the this wind swept Isle.<br/><br/>However the sea took her eldest brother from her, in her early teens, this was not altogether an unheard of death but it was still a shock to the family, all dealt with it in a different way. Lilly’s was to learn to live life to the full, to experience as much as she could and that meant not staying on the Island that she loved.<br/><br/>Thus with a backpack and enough cash for a plane ticket to somewhere, Lilly has worked her way around the world, taking larger and larger risks.<br/><br/>Attributes: Lilly is extremely social and friendly, she does hate conflict but is not the kind of woman to roll over whimper. Well otherwise she would not have managed in some of the situations in the places she travelled too.<br/><br/>She is certainly not a fool, but one might consider Lilly is not well educated, it is more that she has a very practical ‘intelligence.’ The young woman does how ever have a quick wit.<br/><br/>As one would imagine this woman is somewhat fit and healthy, her lifestyle means it has to be the case.<br/><br/>Abilities: One might think a smattering of languages is useful. Nothing formal, just enough to get by in various countries. Her obvious lack of fear is another, and her friendly light manner. This young woman certainly knows how to survive which perhaps is another ability, she can throw a punch but is no great fighter. Of course she is special otherwise she would not be here. On the other hand Lilly considers her self a pretty normal well adjusted traveller.<br/><br/><br/>Motivations: The saying life’s a bitch and then you die is a whole heap of shite…have some fun and live it properly. This place that has offered her a placement is just another adventure is it not? So great and bring it on!"

Lain is an independent and savvy woman from El Paso, Texas, with a government job as a social worker.  Contrary to the image of some that Catholic girls are slaves to their church dogma in virgin white dresses hiding behind stained glass curtains, Cassandra never felt her faith was meaningfully threatened by an active 80s love life and even bore Santiago Rodriguez two children out of wed lock.<br/>Kimberly Lain was 5 and her brother Sean 1 when their parents ended their relationship cordially.  They have almost never seen their father since, and he rarely writes even in the digital age, but generous child support checks and financial gifts arrive like clockwork.<br/>They were both rigorously home schooled using a curriculum designed by a Jesuit that emphasized the humanities and critical thinking.  Sean learned like a locust, moving from topic to topic and devouring knowledge and skill voraciously, supplementing his education with computer savvy, technical skills, and Japanese swordsmanship.  He sated his creative hungers with anime and role playing games.<br/>Substantially smarter, better educated, and more hard working than the average girl, Kimberly lacked her brother’s staggering intellect, but also retained focus for longer periods of time.  Her hobbies focused on Community Theater— including the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera troupe, dancing, and dating.<br/>Another trait the sibling’s shared was uncanny fortitude.  She tempered her body with dance and gymnastics, Sean with hard farm labor and the martial arts.  Both had multiple brushes with accidents that would have badly injured the less resilient, especially Sean whose sight was so bad that he couldn’t read street signs with his glasses on.  The most dramatic being Sean struck by a car, blacked out for a moment, then got up and walked unhurt.<br/>Graduating at seventeen Kimberly went to an art school in Dallas for theatrical studies and was even more active in Community Theater.  She had several lovers.  By 20 clumsy contraception resulted in her pregnancy by a long term boyfriend who left when she would not terminate the pregnancy.<br/>In hindsight, it was not the best idea.<br/>In the eight month, the child miscarried and the doctors fought for Kimberly’s life for three days.  She one found herself several times standing by her own bedside watching herself operated on with macabre fascination, and at one point held a conversation with an 11 year old boy whom she discovered in recovery had died two days earlier.<br/>Devastated, Kimberly returned home and spent a year in a state of confusion and light depression.  She was recognizably her wise cracking self most of the time, took a job as a secretary in an accountant’s office, but her connections to the theater dwindled to peripheral and she spent more time watching That Seventies Show than even reading.<br/>In the summer monsoon, her footing was washed out beneath her and she tumbled head over heals down into the highway ditch.  She spent some time standing beside the road while her body lay comatose, watching three dead men standing forlorn in the muddy trench that was the Rio Grandee.<br/>They all three turned back and screamed at the approach of a horrible thing, and she jerked alive screaming.<br/>Despite nightmares of the incident, it awakened in her a wild drive to live again, and Kimberly  enrolled in the University of Texas at El Paso, where she studied a variety of liberal arts topics, unknowing that her brother also had encountered the horrible thing and was investigating ways to do away with it.<br/>Two years later, (age 22) she prepared to graduate only to have the monumentally inefficient UTEP bureaucracy loose all record of her credits.<br/>She organized with a number of fellow sufferers to picket the president’s office and a riot broke out.  Struck in the head by a 2 by 4, she watched from the park bench as the riot was put down by police with.<br/>In the resulting fall out, her records were reconstructed and validated.<br/><br/>(http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0emYdAf8SEQ/0.jpg)<br/><br/>After yet another stay in the hospital, Kimberly found growing fascination with it and enrolled in a medical school in California.  With her college savings exhausted, Kimberly capitalized on her magnificent bust and solid theater background to get jobs in the pornography industry over the holidays.<br/><br/>(http://adult.mobpage.com/images/8893.jpg)<br/><br/>Her final and most dramatic near death experience came at age 24, between her first and second years of medical school, when she unknowingly became the star of a snuff film.  Fatally bludgeoned in shooting of the final scene, she woke in the hospital with  distinct impression that she had herself pulled the firealarm that brought the ambulance that saved her.<br/><br/><br/>Nature:      Visionary<br/>Demeanor:   Avante Gaurde<br/><br/>Attributes:<br/>Good appearance, Charisma,

Beautiful female wrestlers. Wrestlers who go out and perform for the fans. Both in wrestling and in the post-match sex shows. That's right... sex.<br/><br/><br/>Carnal Combat was a loose ""company"" of female wrestlers, who traveled around the region, putting on shows. Not only did they have revealing costumes with the tendency to slip or be torn, Carnal Combat had a twist.Before each match, the two wrestlers decided on a wager. The loser of the match then had to perform sexual services for the winner, according to the terms of the wager. The very lightest was being stripped of their ring gear, and publicly being brought to orgasm to the cheers of the crowd. Other wagers involved sexual toys, strap-ons, and even bringing lucky members of the crowd up on stage to assist the winner in claiming her prize.<br/><br/>So.. it was chaos. It was mayhem. It was a usual night, in other words.<br/><br/>And that meant that Melissa Thompson, who wrestled under the nickname the Tiny Terror (the fact, she sighed, didn't happen nearly enough these days), was on high alert, going from locker room to locker room, soothing out hurt feelings, letting everyone know who they were working with, making sure all the right people had received a cut of the action, etcetera.<br/><br/>She finally collapsed in a room that had been set up as her office, as she went over the final plans..<br/><br/>It's all going well, she realized. Her mind instantly rejected that theory, because the eighteen months or so she'd been the ""owner"" of Carnal Combat.. it never went well.. In fact... thinking it was going well usually meant..<br/><br/>Her cell phone chirped at her with a notice that she had a voicemail, as if to say ""Told ya so"".<br/><br/>She called up the voicemail... It was Dandy Sandy Candy, one of her usual people. Sweet as all hell, didn't complain about anything, and was willing to go along with anything the opponent wanted to wager. Melissa loved putting her in the first match, because she really got the crowd revved up.... But there was a problem this time.<br/><br/>Dandy Sandy's latest boyfriend had hurt himself at his construction job, and she couldn't make it to the club for tonight's show.<br/><br/>Oh great..<br/><br/>""See, that's why you DON'T say things are going well.. karma's always listening in.."" she grumbled to herself. She tried to think of who lived in the area, to make it to the show on such short notice.. but drew a blank.<br/><br/>""Argh!"" she thought to herself.. If she couldn't find someone to take Sandy's place,. then one of her gals wouldn't be getting paid... not only did she hate doing that from a personal perspective, but from a business perspective, nothing pissed off someone like driving a couple hours to a show, and then being told there was no match for you, and oh yeah, you weren't getting paid.. then a whimsical thought struck her.. ""Well, you always say that you miss the wrestling... guess you're the fill in!""<br/><br/>She looked at the match sheet to see who the ""Tiny Terror"" would be wrestling, she needed to talk to them backstage.. usually wagers were set up well before now.... oh yes.,. Diamond.<br/><br/>The suspicious part of Melissa thought that it was AWFUL convenient Sandy had pulled today off. Diamond was probably the biggest and strongest girl who was a regular in Carnal Combat, and she loved showing it off, using her opponents as a rag doll, both in and out of the match.<br/><br/>""See? This is why you never think things are going well!"" her mind insisted.<br/><br/>Oh well, time to hunt Diamond down, and see what she wanted to do. While she did so, her mind idly wondered ""What else could go wrong..""<br/><br/>More dangerous thoughts."

She wasn’t sure whether she should call it a locker room or a dressing room, because it looked sort of like both. She had her own locker for some stuff, but there were big mirrors and vanities to make herself pretty too, which she certainly did, but she leaned more towards locker room, like she was used to.<br/><br/>She had worked out early that day, so she was mostly loose and stretched, but she was always sure to properly prepare before physical exertion. A little Candy was on tonight’s menu, and she couldn’t wait to sink her teeth in. It had been a good while since she’d worked a strapon, and little Candy probably needed a solid reminder of who was always going to win. So in anticipation of her victory, she did her usual quick warm-up earlier: stretches, some pushups, and some sit ups to get her blood flowing.<br/><br/>Diamond was currently in the process of giving herself a quick lather. Sometimes, they got to wrestle in oil for special occasions, but she always liked to give herself a quick shinedown. It wasn’t enough to create a slippery hold to give her an unfair advantage –not that she needed it – but there was a reason why they called her Diamond. The salve she rubbed over her dark, chocolate skin gave it a dull shine that really showed when the light hit. The crowd always hooted and hollered at her powerful legs, thick ass, and big brown titties when she strutted down to the ring, and they usually kept going throughout the match.<br/><br/>And they didn’t call her Diamond because she was drop dead gorgeous and shiny; all the muscle wasn’t just for show. She was the strongest bitch in the ring. You might go in feeling cocky, but as soon as her legs got around your neck, you were<em>done</em>. Whether it was a sleeper hold or a Boston crab lock with her big black ass sitting squarely on her opponent’s back, the match was always over.<br/><br/>After she finished her lathering, she slipped on her usual wrestling attire: a blue leopard pattern sling bikini. It did almost nothing to cover her tits, and her ass swallowed the thong bottom, but it came off more often than not, so it really didn’t matter. In addition she also wore knee-high boots, laced nice and tight and a pair of fingerless gloves. She checked herself in the mirror with a spin. All twenty carats of her body glowed, ready to get down to business.<br/><br/>She closed her locker and cleaned up her spot by the vanity a little bit, then headed to the staging area outside the ring. There was a little bit of time before the match started, but she could spend it doing some last minute warm-ups."

Surely, Boss had picked an interesting opponent to make her comeback against. If she was going to go down, Candice would most definitely leave her all sore and sorry on the mat after the fight. Having Boss suffer like that would be an interesting sight. Then again, Boss had been around for quite a while, longer than most of the other girls. Perhaps she could use her skills as a veteran to turn the fight to her advantage, and show Diamond that she was Boss both behind the stage and on the mat.<br/><br/>Deciding it could be interesting to see her win, Simon twisted his question to try and encourage the smaller woman: ""So, girls! You already decided how Melissa's going to show Candice who's boss after the fight?"" He tossed them a wink and a grin, making sure they realized he was joking in part.

She was the boss. She called the shots, and Diamond respected that, but that didn’t mean she had to kiss up to her. And her tone certainly didn’t reach her eyes or her stature. She was “Tiny” Terror for a reason, but Diamond couldn’t see the Terror part of it.<br/><br/>The ref came in to tell them that the crowd was waiting, but Diamond didn’t offer him much more than an uninterested look before turning back to Melissa.<br/><br/>“Don’t think I’ll go easy on you,” she warned. Boss or not, she wasn’t going to hand her any measure of mercy inside the ring.<br/><br/>But Diamond considered for a moment, stroking her chin with her fingers. “But I’ll tell you what.

She fantasized about being in a stadium or an arena for this very sort of match, if only it weren’t for the raunchy terms and erotic results. On the mainstream, Carnal Combat would probably be a smash hit, but someone was always worried about what the kiddies might see and do.<br/><br/>So she worked with what she had, and while their current location wasn’t huge, it was still a pretty decent sized club, and they had a full house. From behind the curtain of the gorilla position, she waited until Simon the ref announced her name and the sound guy to cue her music. When the racy hip-hop mixed with porno moans sounded and she heard her ring name, she stepped through into the light strutting her curves for all they were worth down the short runway to the ring.<br/><br/>The walk down was one of her favorite parts, other than winning. The crowd, mostly men, cheered and whistled for her, leaning in their seats to try and get just that much of a better look at her big tits and ass. To prolong the attention, she walked around the ring once, just out of reach of the closest spectators, never breaking the cocky, hands-on-hips promenade, complete with a sure, sultry smile. If she felt like it, she sometimes might let a lucky guy have a feel, but tonight, it was a looking show only.<br/><br/>When she did finally enter the ring, squeezing her surprisingly limber body between the ropes, she made sure to keep the audience looking by striking a few simple poses while basking in the lights and sounds of her entrance. The brightly lit ring emphasized her shine even better; the audience would be able to see every little flex of muscle in the upcoming match.<br/>"

""We have some wonderful matchups for you tonight.""<br/><br/>""And I can tell you, the first match can be a real killer!

In his left hand he held a bottle of lube spray. The ladies hadn't mentioned anything about anal in their wager, but better safe than sorry, he thought. Besides, perhaps Diamond just wanted to go hard without waiting for Boss to get wet.

With a wag of her ass, it sat properly, and she tightened the straps securing it to her waist and thighs. They only served to outline her big ass further.<br/><br/>“You’re getting the best of both worlds tonight,” she said, hooking a finger below a strap to make it lie flat against her skin. She stooped and picked up the bottle of lube and squirted a line along the dildo, not unlike a line of ketchup on a hot dog. “Big black tits and a big black cock to go with it. But you know what?

The planet does have water bodies, though its oceans, and small seas cover little of the surface, comparatively. The technological level of these cities is known to be extremely diverse. At some point in the past, at least 440 years prior to the current date, many nations had emerged and were challenging each other in increasingly dangerous wars. The population at this time is known to have been much greater than it is now. From this conflict, several superpowers emerged, all of which entered an arms race. In some way, these parties all set above them, figuratively, and literally, the orbiting Sovereign. Sovereign is a network of orbiting satellites. This automated network became the ultimate force. At the time, drone warfare was the standard, with warfare claiming less lives than ever, Sovereign essentially co-opted the entire system. Sovereign was capable of linking with, and controlling, any deployed drone, and deploying weapons and drones of its own.<br/><br/>Between that time, and now, the world has changed greatly. Now, societies are organized using Sovereign as a tool. Cities are self-sufficient, usually isolated from the outside, so that most citizens never leave the place of their birth. Less advanced settlements eke out more meager existences. Inside cities, policing is done by a special class of citizen. All societies which make use of Sovereign, have Justices, which use a law system common among them. Sovereign provides the force for judgements made by Justices, and monitors these societies constantly. Settlements outside of Sovereign's operating zone, which do not use it, are organized in their own ways. These societies continue to exist because of their dislike of Sovereign, either because they dislike the concept, or the necessity of using its system of law.<br/><br/>The third kind of settlement which exists is one that actively opposes Sovereign. Sovereign's original purpose is still in effect, as it effectively eliminates any drones, or autonomous robots that it does not control. With the relatively low population in any individual settlement, this rule, the only one enforced outside of Sovereign's cities, ensures that life is very difficult for those not inside those cities. Without drones, even agricultural, and industrial ones, which those cities have, thanks to Sovereign, resources are very limited. Some settlements make use of old technology to shield themselves from Sovereign. These settlements promise a moderately comfortable living, without Sovereign's law. These settlements exist because Sovereign's coverage of the planet is not complete. Furthermore, in zones which have effectively escaped Sovereign, war has emerged once more.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Korvus City</span><br/><br/>This is the opening city for the characters, and one under the control of Sovereign. The city makes extensive use of drones, though its overall level of technology is low for cities, it nonetheless maintains a high standard of living for its citizens. The city has approximated 300,000 people, all of whom live in its three massive towers. The city itself is fairly idyllic inside, being sealed off from the harsh desert outside, the interior is comfortable, clean, and orderly thanks to the city's twelve Justices, and the fairly small police force of about a 200. Most jobs are in the service industry, wealth is more or less evenly distributed. Art and music are common professions, while more labour intensive jobs maintaining the city's infrastructure, engineers, doctors, computer technicians, are among the most wealthy of its citizens.<br/><br/>The majority of the population remains inside the city for their entire life, except for rare times during the year when an outdoor stroll might be reasonable. Korvus City is, however, quite some distance away from its main source of resources, the drone-run factory some ten miles from the city produces food, mines for ore, and produces textiles, all to be shipped back to the city. The most dangerous job in Korvus city is left up to Runners. Essentially soldiers, they escourt engineers, or technicians, even sometimes mechanics, to and from the factory when a problem arises with the drones, or the machinery. Given the prevalence of desert creatures small and large, this job pays extremely well, but is rarely done for long by a consistent group.<br/><br/>Although in some places the means for producing new tools and even drones exist, Korvus city is relegated to trading for replacements or reusing, and refurbishing old technology. Modifications to one's body are common, though more extreme replacements, like eyes, or limbs are very expensive.<br/><br/>The records of the city only detail the surrounding terrain as far as a hundred miles in all directions. The nearest known settlement is a small camp on the edge of the nearest low mountain range to the north. The nearest city is supposedly somewhere beyond that, but travel is rare, and when traders do arrive, the cost for information is usually much higher than that of the goods.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>System</strong></span><br/>While I'm not usually partial to systems, this is one I'm hoping will serve to create challenge and balance in combat and roleplaying. More than anything good roleplaying will accomplish a great deal of what will happen in the game. However some restrictions will have to exist given the variety of what might be possible in the setting, and during the story.<br/><br/>The system follows a breakdown of four parts.<br/><br/><strong>Tech</strong>- Covering interaction with, and understanding of, technology.<br/><br/><strong>Survival</strong>- Covering interaction with, and understand of, the natural enviroment, and animals.<br/><br/><strong>Combat</strong>- Covering interaction with, and understanding of, weaponry and fighting.<br/><br/><strong>Social</strong>- Covering interaction with, and understanding of, cultures and interpersonal interaction.<br/><br/>These basically cover any eventuality of the story. Each character will get a score in each of these.<br/><br/>Modifiers for these attributes exist in the form of modifications directly to one's body, clothing, and tools. Items like tools, weapons, and other supplies interact in some ways with multiple attributes. For example, an artificial eye might grant a benefit to Tech, Survival, and Combat, but in some settlements could be a great hinderance to Social.<br/><br/>Items, like clothing, weapons, tools, and supplies, can have a required attribute score to use, and provide a benefit to attributes. Clothing, when worn, generally provides some benefit to Survival, and Combat, for example, but may be negative, positive or neutral in terms of Social, or Tech. Weapons provide both new means for attack, as well as additional power for attacks. Tools generally affect Tech score in circustances where they are useful, but may provide a penalty if used inappropriately.<br/><br/>Combat is handled quickly, and hopefully will seem straightforward. Weapons are usually devastating, and defense is not much of an issue. Roleplaying is essential to combat. Each point in the Survival attribute is a point of health. Combat values determine the to-hit probability, taking into account distance, and the weapon used. Being closer to an enemy means that accuracy approaches point-blank guaruntee. If an attack hits, its value above the threshold of a hit determines the location of the hit. A critical hit is almost always an immediate kill, while grazing hit might not even take off a hitpoint, but might isntead impose an attribute penalty. The chance required to hit is calculated from the combat value.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>Character Creation</strong></span><br/><hr/><span class=""bbc_u"">Character Sheet:</span><br/><br/>Name: (Character's name)<br/><br/>Age: (Character's age)<br/><br/>Appearance: (Picture, Description, or both)<br/><br/>Bio: (Character history, personality.)<br/><br/><div align=""center""><span class=""bbc_u"">Stats</span></div>Level: (All characters are level 1 at creation)<br/><br/>Tech: (Minimum 1 at creation)<br/>Survival: (Minimum 1 at creation)<br/>Combat: (Minimum 1 at creation)<br/>Social: (Minimum 1 at creation)<br/><br/>Speciality: (No minimum)<br/><br/>Weapons: (Types preferred, no stats available until game start)<br/><br/>(The follow section applies for modifications, clothing and items which provide bonuses and or penalties only.)<br/><br/>Modifications: (None at character creation without permission)<br/><br/>Clothing: (None at character creation without permission)<br/><br/>Items: (None at character creation without permission)<br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Character Creation follows from the system with attribute and speciality points. Attribute points can be distributed any way you wish. The values of each attribute is an automatic 1. You have six additional attribute points, when building a new character. Each attribute has corresponding specialities. These provide bonuses for more focused categories of activity.<br/><br/>Specialities requires certain attribute levels to be chosen. Each new character has one speciality point. The basic specialities available to starting characters are:<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Tech:</span>(Requires at least 4 Tech to choose basic Tech specialty)<br/><br/>Computer - Grants +2 to Tech when dealing with computers (identification, operation, repair, etc.)<br/><br/>Robotics - Grants +2 to Tech when dealing with robotic hardware (identification, operation, repair, etc.)<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Survival:</span>(Requires at least 4 Survival to choose basic Survival speciality)<br/><br/>Voyager - Grants +2 to Survival when dealing with animals, plants, and travel<br/><br/>Medicine - Grants +2 to Survival when healing or diagnosing injury, or +2 to Tech when operating medical instruments<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Combat:</span>(Requires at least 4 Survival to choose basic Survival speciality)<br/><br/>Close Combat - Grants +2 to Combat when attacking unarmed, or with a melee weapon<br/>Short Range - Grants +2 to Combat when attacking with a short range weapon (basic pistol, thrown weapon, etc.)<br/>Medium Range - Grants +2 to Combat when attacking with a medium range weapon (basic rifle, basic launcher, etc.)<br/>Long Range - Grants +2 to Combat when attacking with a long range weapon (basic scoped rifle, etc.)<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Social:</span>(Requires at least 2 Social to choose basic Social speciality)<br/><br/>Merchant - Grants +2 to Social when bargaining<br/><br/>Deception Training - Grants +2 to Social when decieving, or detecting deception<br/><br/><br/>Level is the evaluation of the advancement of a character, all characters start at level 1. Levels are gained through experience (though not by gaining points of experience) and each advancement grants additional attribute points, though specialty points are rarer and are granted only once every few levels.<br/><br/>When creating a character, the prime focus should be on roleplay. Your character cannot have an unjustified speciality. A character with the Voyager speciality, for example, must have travelled outside the city walls. While your character may not have been working in their area of speciality, your bio should reflect your character build, or your character build, your bio. See the section in Setting on Korvus City for information on the starting city.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>Items</strong></span><br/><br/>One of the concerns in this game is that there is a certain level of in-world realism that will be maintained. This includes making sure every character knows what they have with them, from items, to clothing, to tools and weapons. For this reason, the character creation is light on details in these areas, because the characters will, for the most part, start out on a basic, and even footing.<br/><br/>Commerce during the story will provide for the outfitting of all characters. In the weapon section you may note a weapon preference for your character. The opening storyline will provide much of the action in terms of outfitting characters with basic supplies, and a basic kit summary will be available then.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Setting Reference</span></strong><br/><br/>This section should serve as an outline for the setting in more detail. Although it won't be comprehensive, I'm hoping to address major points, and if any questions arise, I can clarify this section, or add to it, as required.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>World</strong></span><br/><br/>The history of the world includes very little concentration on looking outward, though the pre-sovereign civilizations were clearly capable of putting satellites in orbit. The planet has no real name aside from ""earth"" or ""the world."" The main desert, located along a wide swath of the planet with the equator at its center. This desert is called Coros. The largest ocean body is the Lonn Sea. The Lonn Sea's widest point sits above the equator, making the easiest crossing in the south.<br/><br/>The desert is punctuated by small rocky hills, as well as larger rocky mountain ranges. Most larger mountin ranges tend to be focuses to the north and south of the desert proper. Most of the temperate zones are located between the poles and the mountains. The poles are cold, though the lack of moisture makes snow a rarity, and these cold regions are essentially wastelands of ice and stone. Most of the the large lakes and rivers are trapped in, and run inside the mountain ranges. The planet is extremely rich in metals but scarce of many other elements.<br/><br/>The failure of the systems which kept cities and settlements safe from the desert in pro-sovereign times has left much of those cities to be reclaimed by the desert. In many places, cities have a buried older ground-level section surrounding them. Many power-generation stations also disappeared over time, as their collection arrays were covered by sand, and fell into disrepair. The extent to which the planet had be made habitable by pre-sovereign civilizations is unknown, but assumed to be much greater than now exists.<br/><br/>A few remanants of pre-sovereign war still exist in the form of obvious landmarks. The two most obvious of these are the burnt plain, and the glass lake. The burnt plain is a swath of formerly temperate land which remains harsh an uninhabitable, more so even than the desert. Its land is hard stone, and punctuated by black stone spikes which all curve toward the mountains, and which all appear to be burnt, especially against the lighter stone of the mountains. The glass lake is massive crater in the desert, the inside of which is covered in a rough bowl of glass. Water tends to gather inside of it, and it is nearly full year round. Although created sometime before Sovereign, the lake remains uncovered, thanks to its relatively high elevation, though it now has a sandy lake-bed, the glass is still visible.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>General Information</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Energy</strong><br/><br/>Clean energy technologies were the standard early on in the history of technological development. Although some fuels were used their variety and availability made their abandonment necessary and other forms of power generation arose. Fission reactors were the standard before more advanced means of collecting solar energy, and of more effective means of transmitting collected energy. In the current state, many settlements outside of Sovereign's control use fission reactors once more. Cities tend to rely on their original means of energy generation, though a few have augmented this since, depending on their ability to fabricate new collection panels for sunlight. The scarcity of material for fission reactors tends to promote some local combat among settlements using this method, and quite often, a loss of power means death, as power is the minimum requirement for running the systems used to grow hydroponic crops.<br/><br/><strong>Cities</strong><br/><br/>Cities are usually the most advanced remaining parts of pre-Sovereign world. Usually built upward, they can range from a few thousand to a few million inhabitants. Cites are usually run, and ordered by Justices. These are the eyes of the law, serving to provide evidence and judgements to Sovereign. Policing is done by Sovereign, despite the existence of a police force under the Justices, Sovereign serves both to punish criminals, and to protect the rights of civilians. On those instances when Justices have attempted to exert more authority over the population than allowed for, they are punished as swiftly, and usually more harshly, than common criminals. Justices communicate with Sovereign with a specialized form of terminal, which is implanted along their forearm. These terminals are limited in number, cities can become lawless, and have, due to a complete loss of working terminals.<br/><br/><strong>Transportation</strong><br/><br/>Most vehicles are ground-based, relying on wheeled or hovering movement to cross the sands, and other terrains. There are new vehicles, though most remain restored relics of pre-Sovereign years. Vehicles range from single-occupant cars, usually hovering, to mass-transport buses, and industrial vehicles. As hovering requires more power, these vehicles have fallen mostly out of use. Most vehicles are readapted for onboard power collection, to allow them to extend their normal range greatly, and with daylight rests, indefinately.<br/><br/>Lighter than air ships still exist, some of which are still in the sky, assumed to be kept on course automatically. No cities remain with an intact dock for one of these vessels.<br/><br/>The most common use for hovering, are nomadic settlements. Looking something like moving islands, these settlements are seen very rarely, but tend to be considered as the highest achievement of technology among settlements, as these settlements generate their own power, and manage to sustain themselves without any of the infrastructure which remains for the cities.<br/><br/><strong>Clothing, Armor, and Protection</strong><br/><br/>Clothing within cities is generally fashionable, and follows individual tastes. Made from natural textiles created in factories, this clothing is not useful for survival, but comes in almost any variety of colour and texture.<br/><br/>Armor can be physically hard, provide a more advanced more of energy field, or function to enhance individual abilities. Armor of the latter varieties is well-maintained though it becomes rarer as its complexity increases. Armor factories still exist in some places, which provide local cities with greatly enhanced protection. Furthermore, some types of armor are designed to greatly extend survival in extreme enviroments, and are invaluable to those travelling long distances.<br/><br/><strong>Ruins</strong><br/><br/>Most of the planet's cities are in ruins, and great deal of what was formerly part of current cities is lost to the desert. Savenging is profitable, though dangerous. Savengers provide for a lot of the more advanced technology available, and are usually rich, if still living.<br/><br/><strong>Commerce</strong><br/><br/>Commerce is conducted mostly through bartering. Within cities, offices exist to convert goods into city-currency. Currency is not useful outside of the cities, and so, valuable stones are a common form of item to use outside of a city. Stones are useful for many forms of technology though there is some risk that one's stones might not be as valuable in other places if one travels widely. In general stones are cut to ""C"" which is currency size, and one C is generally translated as 100 credits in cities which use that currency standard. C is a variable size for different gems, but all are cut to ""C.""<br/><br/><strong>Local Stellar Bodies</strong><br/><br/>The planet orbits a yellow dwarf star, and has two moons. These moons are Verda and Eria. Verda is by far the largest in the sky, though they are relatively the same size, Verda is closer to the planet, while Eria is further away. Verda has a relatively slow orbit, while Eria is much quicker. Verda orbits the planet fully once every sixty days, while Eria takes only ten.<br/><br/>The closest visible planet is Niera a planet which is visible for four days at a time, four times a year. Being in the same orbital path, Niera appears almost the same size as Eria in the sky when it is closest, but it is considerably further away. Niera has a blue tint, unlike the moons which are white.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>Environment and Animal Life</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Geography and Weather</strong><br/><br/>Although most of the planet is an desert wasteland punctuated by rocky hills and some mountain ranges, there do exist some smaller temperate, and even forested zones. The desert is prone to long periods of very little activity, punctuated by powerful sandstorms. The storms come during the storm season, which usually lasts about half the year. During particularly powerful sandstorms, the danger of travelling is so extreme that even well-equipped travellers will avoid leaving the safety of a settlement, even with shelter, a vehicle at rest can be buried under sand and disappear quite easily.<br/><br/>The oceans and seas, though relatively small compared with the landmass, are quite calm. Rivers and streams are usually subterranean, and feed from higher, cooler mountain ranges in temperate zones, to the low-elevation of the oceans and seas.<br/><br/>The planet has a moderate level of volcanic activity, though most of the volcanic regions are uninhabited some temperate regions with standing cities have controlled their local volanic activity with engineered run-off, and geothermal energy generation.<br/><br/><strong>Animal Life</strong><br/><br/>Most large forms of life occupy the small temperate zones, and these zone function as eco-systems. Very few apex predators exist, however those which do are often still extremely dangerous. Most information on these species was lost, and what remains is mostly accumulated by experience, and common knowledge. The most dangerous creatures in the temperate zones are Arkosaurs, and Felin.<br/><br/>Arkosaurs are dominant reptiles with massive crushing jaws, covered entirely in hard armor plates, they inhabit rivers and streams, and lakes, attacking anything which enters the water, although their legs can propel them quite a distanct out of the water, their bulk makes pursuit inviable, and if they don't initially suceed in attack, they will usually relent.<br/><br/>Felin are a flying, and running bird. Mostly keeping to gliding at low-altitude, the Felin are group-hunting predators with large hook-like claws which simultaneously cut and grab, allowing them to carry off, and kill, smaller prey simultaneously, while they generally attack vital spots on larger prey, such as the neck, or legs, searching for major arteries. They have adapted to avoid humans for the most part, but not all of them are accustomed to human presence, and so may remain dangerous.<br/><br/>The desert regions are inhabited mostly by insects. Although not particularly dangerous to humans in general, they may be poisonous, or too numerous to deal with if directly disturbed. Further, their hives create certain problems for travel, as although their hives remain relatively immune from the desert, they collapse quite easily if overburdened from above, if not avoided, they can sink an entire vehicle.<br/><br/>The dominant desert insect is the Sandlords. These social insects  account for most insect life. Being fiercely territorial, and extremely adept builders, their hives can rise above the sands to considerable height, and dig deep enough to access subterranean lakes and rivers. Their intelligence as a group is considerable, allowing them to mimic nearby structures, and even form three-dimensional maps, with which to direct commands to the swarm. Queens are numerous, and although there is always a Empress of a hive, these are replacable by any one of the queens. The Sandlord is seen as useful to travellers for two reasons. First, they have a propensity for finding buried ruins. Sandlords have been known to build into ruins, filling the open halls with ramps, and buildings of their own, and making use of the stability inside to house their queens. Thankfully, most Sandlords tend not to invade the ruins too deeply, preferring to build upward, instead of downward, as sandstorms sometimes leave hives with only the tips of their tallest spires as their new exits. The second benefit of Sandlords are their water-seeking habits. Because their hives require a great deal of water, both for construction and breeding, the quickest way to know where to bore for water is by finding a Sandlord hive. More than a few settlements were created this way, in unlikely locations, because they had previously undiscovered subterranean lakes, indicated by Sandlord presence. Though only rarely encroaching on human activity, Sandlords are dealt with as a pest when they do, the easiest way to deal with them is burial flooding. Unless a Sandlord hive is situated over a ruin, sufficient water can flood its tunnels and destroy its foundations, destroying the hive from the bottom up, by sinking it into its subterranean water source.<br/><br/>The largest creature on the planet, and the dominant sea creature are Baronn. These massive creatures have multiple forms of defence, and massive jaws. Close in size to an airship, these creatures are built from the competitive environment of the ocean. Most animals in the ocean are hunters. Although ocean-floor plants do provide a great deal of nutrition, they are hunted, as remaining alive requires power or speed. Bottom feeding fish are quick, small, and tend to keep moving. The Baronn passively ingest everything they come across by ""breathing"" ocean water, through wide-gapped jaws, and ""exhaling"" through a dense set of hard ribs, which trap anything large enough to provide the Baronn food. Having a set of three pairs of side-fins, and a double dorsal fin, with a massive shark-like tail, the Baronn is mostly a smooth blue coloured fish. Though actually a fish, it does tend to swim close to the surface, as it allows marine birds to clean its back, and to expose, and therefore defeat, smaller (but still quite large) predatory fish which sometimes attack its dorsal fins.<br/><br/>Barron are found in almost every large body of water on the planet, but can only migrate in rivers and lakes in their infancy, adults are far too large.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>Computers and Personal Technology</strong></span><br/><br/>Holographics provide the standard displays for all computers. Emitters for these displays are extremely efficient, small, and are capable of acting in response to touch, even though they are insubstantial, their emmitters are both projectors, and recievers. Personal versions of computers are usually implanted, in the wrist or forearm, and called 'terminals.' Computing is very powerful, for those with the knowledge to use it, however, most actual data from the pre-Sovereign era, and even early Sovereign years is gone. Cities are run by their own local super-computers, which are in turn governed by Sovereign.<br/><br/>Artificial intelligence is uncommon, but not unknown. Although lacking personalities, and emotions, artificial intelligences are powerful tools for computers capable of running them. Usually, hardware is the limiting factor in artificial intelligence capability, but a small computer, the size of an apple, configured properly, could run an AI many times more powerful in function than a city super-computer. Malfunctions in AI systems are common, and require a great deal of programming and hardware expertise to maintain beyond their normal operational life.<br/><br/>Computers are an ever-present reality. Within cities they do the heavy-lifting of local organization, providing the network for commerce, and communication. Although the actual interface has changed very little in a very long time, even since pre-sovereign times, the underlying architecture was radically different from earlier computers by the year 0 A.P. Computers are built up from the nanometre scale, providing for extreme miniaturization of powerful computers. However, for the storage and computation necessary for larger tasks, like co-ordinating power systems in a city, larger machines usually no larger than a small room located somewhere near the center of a city. Storage hardware comes in the form of clear crystals. These crystals are grown, quite commonly inside of cities, as their creation is automated, and requires no drones. They serve as a form of holographic storage, where data is written in three dimensions inside of the crystal. Crystals are extremely hard, and very resilient when it comes to disruptions of data, and their contents may be recovered even when broken.<br/><br/>The difference between personal (wrist terminal, or portable terminal) and full size terminals tend to differ from so-called full-size terminals only in their ability to read crystals. Full-size terminals have the cradle which can read crystals. Although a wrist terminal’s projector/receiver can identify one layer of data on a crystal, a reader is required for its ability to read on all the levels required for the data storage, and also has the system required to write new data onto a crystal.<br/><br/>Crystals cannot be erased, though if they have remaining storage they can continue to be written on.<br/><br/>Computers are usually accessed on their own terminal displays, or if they have none, by connecting to it with a personal terminal. Computers do not require physical connection to communicate, though physical connections are often faster, and preferable when hacking or modifying programming, as a wireless connection can be terminated by either computer, and this is often the first automated defence against tampering.<br/><br/>AI computers are intelligent to the extent that they can learn and adapt to new non pre-programmed circumstances, without outside input. However, AIs are not sentient, not being able to feel, or even possess self-awareness. Given their rarity, the theory that sentience might develop as a emergent property of multiple AI’s working together, has not been tested.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>Weaponry</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Personal Weapons</strong><br/><br/>Personal weapons are generally of two types.<br/><br/>The first are rail guns, which fire solid iron projectiles. Given the minaturization of the rail-gun systems in these weapons, most weapons are of this type. These weapons make very little noise in their action, but their supersonic projectiles still make these weapons quite loud when fired. These weapons come in many varieties, from pistols, to high-powered rifles, and even including shotguns.<br/><br/>The second type is directed energy weapons, in both lethal and non-lethal varieties. Lethal weapons include laser rifles, and particle beam weapons. By far more destructive are particle beam weapons, but these consume far more power. Laser rifles tend to be less lethal than projectile weapons, as many types of armor and the short time of contact between beam and target mean that although they retain effectiveness across their range, their use is usually a trade-off of accuracy and efficiency over power.<br/><br/>As rail-gun weapons produce little to no noise, aside from the small sonic boom of the projectile, subsonic weapons, effectively silent, do exist. These weapons are also generally smaller, and less effective against any kind of armored target, but are popular as personal defence weapons.<br/><br/>Pistols tend to be quite heavy, and considerable in size when conventionally powered, however, as the reduction in size in subsonic pistols makes them preferable for personal non-military use, they also carry and fire less, and smaller, ammunition.<br/><br/><strong>Heavy Weapons</strong><br/><br/>Heavy weapons come in many varieties.<br/><br/>Generally, heavy weapons are launchers, as in grenade or missile launchers. These weapons are rare, and ammunition is even scarcer, but these are generally the most fearsome weapons, as both grenades and missiles are generally very powerful.<br/><br/>Some larger rail-gun and energy weapons still exist, usually for vehicle mounts. These weapons have fallen out of common use. However, fast-tracking and fast-firing rail-gun cannons can be devastating when kept functional. Large energy weapons are mostly infeasible, as they require far more energy collection than can be provided in a reasonable length of time, they are considered one-shot weapons, usually used for effect.<br/><br/>Drones are the warmachines, and workers, of the pre-sovereign world.<br/><br/>Armed with a variety of weaponry, Drones are extremely dangerous. Although heavily regulated by Sovereign, drones outside of the coverage zone are still in operation. Drones operate as powerful single-units, or as packs of smaller more mobile units. Drones are semi-autonomous, although they take direction, they retain a great deal of on-board capability. Both ground, hovering, and flying drones exist, however the most common remain ground drones, used for work to maintain cities.<br/><br/><strong>Melee Weapons</strong><br/><br/>Although melee weapons tend to be underused in conventional combat, their effectiveness is actually considerable, in the right hands. Many marauders use melee weapons in an effort to bolster their ability to armor themselves against attack. Heavily armored marauders may be very difficult to take down at range with small arms fire, and at close range, may be quite capable of killing as surely and effectively with a blade as with a gun.<br/><br/>Bladed weapons do come in two varieties. All blades, and most basic tools are made from advanced carbon fiber, which requires less factory space for drones to make, as opposed to large scale smelting. The result are low-weight, high-strength blades which almost never need sharpening. Basic bladed weapons may be a completely carbon-fiber, or have a heavier metallic core for additional weight, in either case these blades cut flesh as quickly and smoothly as scalpels.<br/><br/>The second variety of blades are AF blades, or active-frequency blades. These blades require an integral power source, and may be attached to a power-pack on the user. Unpowered, these blades are conventionally useful. When powered, however, the AF system allows the blades to cut through almost anything. By adjusting a high-frequency pulse in the blade, automatically, the blade will essentially melt, at the atomic level, whatever it comes in contact with, creating clean, smooth, and highly precise cuts through solid stone, metal, or even heavy armor. However, the blades take a moment to adjust to the surface they are cutting, and so, are less useful in quick combat than as tools.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>Modifications</strong></span><br/><br/>Modifications to one's body are difficult to come by, but generally enhance personal abilities greatly. These modificiations can be anywhere from minor, as an eye, or major, as a limb. Wrist terminals are considered modifications, but this one is common. Other modifications are less so, and tend to be frowned upon in city life. Modifications are of limited quantity and need to be re-used. Only a very few cities have new modifications, but even these are very rare, and produce new units slowly. Their cost is extreme, and happening across one can be a great find.<br/><br/>Thanks to more extensive modifications, some modified persons recieve extraordianry lifespan and resilience while their parts continue to operate. The active replacement of organs, and limbs has made the few wishing to attempt it social pariahs even in places where modifications are otherwise accepted.<br/><br/><strong>Neural Interface Modification</strong><br/><br/>Directly connecting the mind with computers, and other devices is an uncommon, but well understood process. These connections, attached to to brain stem by surgery, can enable incredible feats of computational mastery, enhancing both the modified person, and their ability to interact with computers. However, this system requires an overload switch, to ensure that the human mind is not traumatized by connection.<br/><br/>As an extension of Neural Interface Modification, a poorly-understood, and somewhat experimental pre-Sovereign technology has re-emerged in the form of complete Neural Adaptation. This is a form of Neural inferface which radically alters the user. Requiring extensive modification and surgery to the brain, as well as the spinal cord, and arms, the NAS (Neural Adaptation System) allows the user to operate powerful magnetic field generators. These generators can act as a shield against attack, and is radically more efficient than any kind of armor in that field. Further, they can allow the user to move and manipulate metal, and fucntion as a directed energy weapon. This modification is so dangerous, and expensive, that it is only known to have been attempted three times. In one case, it resulted in death. The second resulted in extreme madness, and the necessary destruction of the subject. The third was a success, but the subject's identity is unknown.<br/><br/>Less radical forms of the modication do exist, requiring less complete modification, and providing a lesser degree of utility in the end result. It is known that at least two prominent warlords, and one marauder have undergone this less invasive procedure.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>General Knowledge Reference</strong></span><br/><br/>This section is to adress some of the points of general knowledge that characters may, or may not be familiar with, depending on their areas of interest. All of these are well-known, some of them facts, some rumors, but in any case they do not require any particular specialization to be familiar with.<br/><br/><strong>Places</strong><br/><br/>Aerlan City - Rumored to be the largest of the moving settlements. Aerlan City does not travel like the others. It is rumored to move quite widely, but never travels through the desert, instead relegating itself to the ocean. Aerlan City travels between bridge-like ports which allow it to remain away from the shore, and allow it to retreat to safety whenever it needs to. As such, it is one of the few settlements which is safe from raiders, while maintaining a large degree of internal freedom. It is unknown how Aerlan City maintains resources.<br/><br/>Newman Republic - A large area created in a desert basin between an almost complete encirciling ring of low rocky hills, the Newman Republic is the closest place to Korvus City that can't be monitored by Sovereign. The inhabitants of the Republic maintain a local democratic government, and maintain a standard of living through the use of repurposed, and rebuilt drones from elsewhere. Inside the Republic, however, infighting is common, and the freedom to use drones has left them a powerhouse in the region, defensively, as the drones cannot leave the protection of the basin (how this basin is protected is unknown) without being taken over once more by Sovereign, the Republic is safe from invasion, but projects very little force outside of its borders.<br/><br/>Vetten Carrrier - A large mobile settlement, the Vetten Carrier operates in the desert. The closest thing to a battleship operating in the area around the Newman Republic and Korvus City. Its dealings are usually heavily one-sided, and it maintains both a vehicle and mounted-weapon armament which is uniquely powerful in the region. Active opponents of pirates and marauders, the officials of the Vetten Carrier are closer to a para-military organization, and although the Carrier has a civilian population, it is also an extremely well-armed civilian population. The Vetten Carrier is known to have a fleet of inactive combat drones at its disposal. Inactive, they are technically under Sovereign's control, however, the Carrier has been known to use them when inside the borders of a zone outside of Sovereign's control, to great effect.<br/><br/>Market City - Not so much a city as a factory, Market City's above-ground city is mostly destroyed and overtaken by desert. The underground factory still remains, however. Market City was abandoned at some point, but a group of travellers took up residence during one of the planet's more fearsome storms. Finding the factory still intact, and the drones inactive, the travellers re-established the link with Sovereign, by appointing Justices, and started a more permanent settlement. Thanks to a variety of factors, Market City became the second most prominent example of repurposing factory technology, aside from the RIG corporation. By dividing up the factory in living, and working quarters, and limiting the drones in movement and material, they began to create a series of small shops, all based on their own production. Although the drones couldn't be reprogrammed to produce unique items, by controlling what drones had access to what materials, many storeowners managed to produce goods which were of different function or design than the drones were intended to produce. Market City, has, therefore, become a hub for trade, and production. Wholly underground, only the lifts to and from the surface were maintained, and above-ground only a relatively small vehicle depot shows where Markey city is. Many trade caravans leave from, and make stops at, Market City.<br/><br/><strong>People</strong><br/><br/>Daniel Ryan - Industrialist and well-known arms merchant, Daniel Ryan is well know for his absolute amoralist attitude. One of the richest men in the world, Daniel Ryan's name is well known in almost all circles, and the ""RIG"" stamp on all the products of the Ryan Industrial Group are easy to find anywhere. Although his origins are unknown, what is known is that his wealth and success rely on his personal ownership of a drone-operated factory, and apparently, his control thereof. How Sovereign, which oversees all drone production in factories, factors into this is unknown, though his ability to modify designs speaks of a considerable wealth of technological information either of his own, or of his corporation.<br/><br/>Jean Arne - Well known pirate and marauder, Jean is a butcher and a widely-travelling criminal. Well known to attack even in cities and against enemies who can operate drones. Renowned for swiftness of attack, and retreat, never caught, and supposedly never wounded, Jean Arne is someone to avoid. Several bounties are issued for her capture, in several cities, though given the difficulty of cashing in a bounty even if she were caught, she will likely die before she is put on trial. Jean flies a small high-speed hovering ship, the Nomad. The Nomad is supposedly outfitted with a pair of heavy cannons, and some manner of stealth system.<br/><br/>Wells - A dangerous and enigmatic sniper, familiar name unknown. Wells is known as a contract-killer, and a deadly and efficient one at that. Known as a sniper thanks to his usual MO. He is known for walking great distances across the desert on foot, to avoid his transportation being seen, and firing at extreme range, with patience to match the precise nature of his shots. Considered to be within the law, or at least on the side of right, if only barely, in many places, his usual quarry are criminals, and bandits, though almost any time someone is killed at range, it is attributed to Wells, if the real killer can't be found. Wells appearence is unknown, he wears a heavy survival suit to survive alone in the desert, and never brings his transportation into cities.<br/><br/><strong>Law</strong><br/><br/>Many settlements follow varying and often simple legal systems. This section is meant to overview only the law of Sovereign. Sovereign's law is the only one which can be comprehensively studied since it never changes. Although many consider this to be a fault, in that the law is never modified to suit changing circumstances, it does afford an order and predictability to cities within which this code is used.<br/><br/>Sovereign's legal code is predicated upon only criminal law. Civil matters like contracts, and legal complaints from citizen to citizen are handled criminally, such that only an official may charge a citizen.<br/><br/>Only contracts made in presence of, and recorded by, a Justice are legally valid, breaking a contract that has been made this way is an offence. All others are considered void. However, in most instances, transactions proceed on trust, or with an immediate exchange of goods, and very little intervention is required. Public offers within cities, as those on bounty notices, are regularly recorded, and may be considred an open contract, binding only the offerer if they fail to pay.<br/><br/>Most crimes are covered, assault, murder, theft, kidnapping, destruction of property, fraud, etc. Under Sovereign's laws, the legal age of majority is 16, under this age, all citizens are considered to be under the care of their parents, who are held responsible for their actions, however, before this age, they cannot legally own property and do not have the freedom of movement, so their parents may commit what otherwise would be considered minor crimes, in their parenting.<br/><br/>There are two sections to a criminal proceeding under Sovereign. First, a crime must have taken place. This requires that a reasonable burden of proof be met by the Justice asked to investigate. If the Justice cannot find proof to reasonably establish that a crime has taken place, the evaluation of guilt will not proceed.<br/><br/>The second part, if a crime has taken place, is to establish guilt. Evidence is weighed, by Sovereign, against the possible suspects, and if the liklihood of guilt is over the threshold for doubt, then guilt is established. No judgements are made by a Justice in these matters, they are responsible only for gathering evidence, and taking statements.<br/><br/>Punishments are of three kinds. First, are fines. These can be seizure of property or monetary. Fines may be waged against future earnings if they cannot be paid in full. Second, is exile. This punishment follows from a finding of guilt in the matter of a crime which renders the person effectively anti-social in Sovereign's judgement, crimes like rape, grievous assault, and severe destruction of property fall into this category. Exile removes the guilty party from all Sovereign controlled societies. The final punishment is death. This punishment follows from murder, and is carried out by Sovereign's drones.<br/><br/>Certain crimes can be incepted in progress by police, or defended against by the victim. These are, murder, rape, kidnapping, and greivous assault. However, using a weapon, unathorized, within a city is a charge in itself, and can become a legal mess if reported.<br/><br/>Surveillance within cities, for the benefit of Sovereign's ability to administer law and order usually has very broad coverage. Every doorway is monitored by cameras in both directions, and all public areas have full coverage.<br/><br/>The role of Justices is still quite important. The only punishment for a crime above the level of minor assault, carried out by Justice, is death. However, Justices are therefore allowed far more leniency in thier administration of the powers for which they cannot be punished. Corruption is common, however, since they can only, at best, take private property, even corrupt Justices are considered to be bearable. Justices serve the dual role of assisting in Sovereign's administration of justice, and maintaining local rules, usually, cities will have some specific local regulations, enforced by the power of the Justice for search and seizure. Police are granted the ability to carry out Justices' orders as long as they too, do not overstep the restrictions placed upon Justices.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>Sovereign</strong></span><br/><br/>Although very little concrete information remains about what Sovereign actually is, it remains the object of much concern on the planet's surface. Thanks to its continued operation in administering law and order, as well as control of drone technology the world over, it is still known to be operational, though how its capabilities have decreased, if at all, since its comissioning, is unknown.<br/><br/>Occassionally cults arise which worship Sovereign, though these are usually targeted by marauders, as they often accompany an unjustified faith in Sovereign to provide for their personal security. Sovereign's actions are rarely ever felt outside of the cities which use its administration, however, it does, in fact, intervene under certain circumstance. What the threshold for intervention is, is unknown, however, in the few occasion where armies, even those without drones, have left the safety of protected zones, and moved to attack other settlements, the reprisal was severe. It is assumed that Sovereign still maintains a ban on warfare, though its failure to intervene in marauder and pirate attacks indicates that there is a defintion by which it guages warfare, as opposed to mere criminality.<br/><br/>There is often an assumed connection between Sovereign and those pieces of pre-Sovereign technology which remain in operation. Airships usually fall under this category, as they occasionally change course without warning, and may suddenly take up a new flight-path which can remain unaltered for years.<br/><br/>Claims that Sovereign might have developed consciousness as an emergent property of multiple networked AI cores is unsubstantiated, but a common theory among those who believe Sovereign to be an oppressor."

His musculature is  minimal but compact, underestimating him would be a fatal mistake. He carries a sun baked tan, it is obvious that he spends very little time within the protection of the large cities. Both of his eyes are hazel but one flickers multiple colors, those who get close enough notice his left eye is a prosthetic cybernetic eye that was the result of a accident in his child hood.<br/><br/>Bio:<br/><br/>Colin was born to become an engineer, his father was a middle man in one of the large companies that specialized in mining drones. As a young boy he went on numerous ""field"" expeditions to the mining sites protected by ""guards"" to inspect and administer repairs. He learned to love the open desolate land instead of the sterile and steel enclosure of the cities. Set on becoming an engineer himself he joined his family on any trip until they grew wealthy enough to retire in one of the finer cities.<br/><br/>He was in his pre-teens when a malfunction sent a piece of shrapnel in his eye, his parents spent all they could to get him a prosthetic. The device is modified to enhance his vision and future upgrades (over the years) have allowed him to have heighten vision in the dark, and a accurate distance reader. The colors of the eye flicker depending on the ""mode"" making it quite easy to read if one pays attention to him long enough.<br/><br/>In his mid 20's he was well underway to be a rising engineer when his team was ambushed on a routine equipment inspection. Over those years they had foolishly fell into a blanket of safety and began to hire less security. The land pirates ended up stealing valuable equipment and tools, killed their two guardsmen and two of his coworkers. Three of the female engineers where raped and taken, never found again  and Colin himself was beaten within an inch of his life and left to die. He lived only when a rescue mission was sent out, finding him and three survivors over a week later.<br/><br/>From that day he stopped his career as an engineer and focused on private security for caravans that leave the city. Along with his cybernetic eye he found wielding a sniper rifle a simple transition and he quickly earned a deadly reputation as a very effective guard.<br/><br/>Colin has taken out (Pirate) scouts from over a mile away, while moving and protecting his employers while en route to work sites. With a rifle in his hand he is not a man you want to find yourself within his cross hairs.<br/><br/>Personality:<br/>Colin is not the one to dream of a high rise apartment in the sky (the modern day equivalent of a white picket fence). He enjoys a stiff drink a good game of poker and a romp with a busty female (pair for or not). He takes on any job as long as he is allowed to kill any threats without second thought, his hatred for ""pirates"" and hijackers is well known. When on the job he wears a black bandanna across his face mostly to hide the smirk on his face when he takes someone out from a mile away.<br/><br/>""I know what you're thinkin""<br/><br/><br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Stats</span></strong></div><br/><br/>Level: 1<br/><br/>Tech: 2<br/>Survival: 2<br/>Combat: 5<br/>Social: 1<br/><br/><br/>Specialty: Long Range Combat - Grants +2 to Combat with LR Weapon.<br/><br/>Modifications:<br/><br/>Cybernetic (prosthetic) Eye  +1 Combat (CXT), -1 Social (CXT)<br/><br/>Weapons:<br/><br/>Colin's Rifle (Basic Long-Range Sniper Rifle) - +2 Combat (Long and Medium Ranges), +1 to Combat (Short Range) (Cap:3)<br/><br/>Items:<br/><br/>6 LR Rifle Rounds<br/><br/>Basic LR Combat Kit: 12 LR Rifle Rounds"

She was kept blissfully unaware of that side of the business for years and spend her days training to be a paramedic and her nights 'on display' in her father's dinner parties and events. She was his favorite and most affective tool to gain new business and seal deals that were moving too slowly for his taste. Dawn was dolled up, swept into the room and sat down with one of the men who needed a little persuasion. It was never physical, merely conversation and perhaps a little flirting if she was in the mood, but her charm made a difference and got other responses than the relentless pressing forward of her father.<br/><br/>She learned to use her looks and youth to get what she wanted, but as her father drilled that into her head her mother did her best to make a difference in other aspects of Dawn's life. It was her mother who encouraged her to study when that caught her interest as an adult, who reminded her that brains and skills were what mattered in the end, who imprinted the idea that perhaps her father's way of things wasn't always the best one even if it was the quickest.<br/><br/>When Dawn was in her late twenties, she stumbled upon the darker side of her father's trades. She secretly witnessed him deal with a man, fight over prizes and shoot that man in the back when he turned to walk away with the goods. When the man's body hit the floor it was as if something shifted in her mind. Suddenly she understood her father's obsession to have her learn how to handle a gun. Slowly but surely she started to hate her father and after a year and a half of digging and prying she had enough in her hands to turn him over to Justice.<br/><br/>By that time her mother had found out what was going on with her and convinced her to drop the matter. To focus on her own future instead of her father's. Dawn finished her training but when her father realized she had every intention of working as a paramedic he was furious. A work as lowly as that was nothing for<em>his</em>daughter and she would do as he told her or never set foot in his house again. Her mother stepped between them as the fighting got serious and both father and daughter backed off. Later that night Dawn heard them fighting and when she woke up she found her mother dead. It looked like an accident, like a trip down stairs caused by unfortunate placing of a vase in the first step from the third floor, but there was no doubt in Dawn's mind as to what had happened.<br/><br/>She grabbed what little money she had in her room and the necklace from around her mother's neck. It was a simple locket with a holographic image of the two of them when she was just a baby. Originally a gift from her father to her mother, but to Dawn it was as if taking a piece of her mother with her. She left the house and threaded the streets, ending at the address from a job posting she remembered. It was silly, but it was all she could pull from her exhausted mind at that moment. She was leaving anyway.

In school, she was identified as gifted in mathematics and channeled into computer science and engineering studies. Advanced several years ahead of her peers, she finished her formal schooling at age 19 and began an intern under the direction of Lane Rivers of Rivers Financials. She grew close to Lane and moved in with him as his personal assistant and companion. His company managed pension and retirement funds for primarily low level workers in a variety of fields. Lane put Jen in charge of computer security and coding the interface between his company and the banks handling the invested funds. On her third year with Lane and Rivers Financials, auditors discovered that the bulk of the retirement funds had been siphoned off. A small portion of those funds were discovered in the personal accounts of Jen-Jones. She was arrested and despite protesting her innocence sentenced to labor and restitution. The first years were hard, because she felt wronged. But eventually, she regained access to the computer network. A short time later, it was reported that restitution had been completed. At age 27, she is finally free of the burden of working for free, but without funds and her career destroyed.

The basic scope is digital, with a zoom that far exceeds the accuracy of the rifle, which is only really strained beyond about 500 metres. The main limited factor in a basic rifle is that it fires a fairly small projectile, which, despite its high velocity, is unlikely to pierce armor at long range.<br/><br/>For Dawn's weapons she can start with basic handguns and knives, unpowered pure carbon-fiber blades are always basic weapons.<br/><br/>Also, everyone starts with 10 C.<br/><br/>Basic supplies, like clothing, are standard."

Although this is mostly roleplay driven, the monetary limitations on what can be done are the most stringent.

As she pushed more - if she ignored the shooting pain in her twisted foot - the heavier woman's momentum began to work against her and soon Spunky was on top once again. She collapsed from her exertions on top the heavier woman, making no attempt to pinion her. As it happened, her face was resting on one of The Hammers breasts. She needed no encouragement to grab hold of the collar of The Hammers suit and savagely pull it downwards. As she hoped, it ripped, and when she pulled some more the breast became visible.

After all, licking was her order, and Spunky had not told her to stop yet."

This world is a graveyard, there just aren't any markers. The sands have swallowed whole cities, most which are long forgotten, or the homes of other creatures now. In good weather, a body will disappear under the sand in under a week. In a storm, whatever is left of the skeleton will disappear in hours.<br/><br/>From Korvus city you can see the moutains, just barely, to the north. The sun is hot overhead, but inside, it seems almost as though the desert is just a view, nothing more than image outside of the windows. There are a lot of windows, so much natural light streaming in, and yet, inside the city, it is a cool room temperature day, the sun muted by the reactivity of the window panels. Korvus city, what is left of it, is a set of towers, just three, though inside, they seem monolithic, more than enough space for its 300,000 residents. Somewhere between the sun, and the sand, in the sky, Sovereign is watching. To the people inside the city, Sovereign seems like a friend, an old comforting acquaintance, providing law, order, and making sure that their society runs smoothly, which in turn ensures that the barriers around the city are powered, and everyone can eat, drink, and be happy. They rarely notice the tenuos position they actually exist in. The city below the towers is long since lost to the sand, too many collapsed tunnels, and rubble to connect the factory, the source of all of the production to maintain the city, with the towers. Now, the automated trucks come once every two days, along the lonely road that seems to cut straight out into the desert. Of course, the trucks haven't come in a week, and you can't ask your old friend in the sky, because Sovereign doesn't answer questions, this is a human problem, and down here, that means somebody will have to leave, head out into the desert, and probably, die. Of course, to the citizens of Korvus city, a body they'll never see, won't weigh on their minds much, if the trucks start coming again. Nor will it concern them that the they'll keep sending people until the problem is fixed.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Near the Desert-Gate, the police headquarters sat on the ground-floor of Koruvs City. So far down, and with the Mid-day sun overhead, it was cool, and dimly lit, artificial light not providing much in the way of general illumination, lights needed power, and the Justices didn't spend much time on the ground level, so, better that the lower levels be a strain on the eyes than have the upper floors experience a power disruption.<br/><br/>The police headquarters was a large space, walls onto the main entry corridor all glass, with a few posters hung here and there. It lit part of the corridor, they wouldn't work in the dark, and the glow gave a sort of strange translucent quality to the posters. Some of them were bounties, though they didn't bear the ""Dead or Alive"" notice that was the Bounty Killer's bread and butter, no, these were local criminals, those with sentances againstt them, or who were wanted for questioning. Even in Korvus city, it was easy to lose a person, and with only 200 police, and a dozen justices, there just wasn't the time to go looking in the nooks and crannies.<br/><br/>The only poster worth considering, for anyone looking to make money, or anyone who cared, was also the largest, fixed to the clear panel of the automatic sliding door.<br/><br/>It read, ""Maintenance Contract: All applications accepted for team to diagnose and repair factory malfunction. Details inside. Reward: 10,000 C)""<br/><br/>It didn't take an genius to figure out what the ""10,000 C"" as a reward meant. It was dangerous, and if anyone who applied could have known that the poster had been there a week previous with the reward reading, ""500 C"" they might've wondered why it had become twenty times as lucrative in seven days. There were more than few people pausing to gaze at the large figure, but most of them wore maintenance coveralls, and didn't seem inclined to step outside the gate.<br/><br/>In the entry hall, there was a sand-truck, with three pairs of massive wheels, which looked like it had seen better days. Aside from the one vehicle however, it didn't look as though Korvus city had seen much traffic in a while. The Desert-Gate was closed, just another clear set of three-foot thick sliding doors. The area might have been busier, it was a delivery day. But the loading docks, beyond the police station, didn't have any workers, and the ground level seemed almost abandoned.<br/><br/>Inside the station, at the active-duty desk, sat Police Veteran Morland, or so his nametag said. His flat black uniform wasn't much of an attention getter, and he couldn't have been more than thirty. The station wasn't busy either, most of the desks inside empty, only a few officers mulling around. As there were only three police ranks in Korvus city, Recruit, Veteran, and Commander, it seemed that it was a slow day."

Nine days since freedom and she still lacked paying employment. Her ex-friends were polite, but most had invested with Lane. She glanced to the door and thought about chucking it all for the day, but then a message came in from Tinesha, a transvestite hacker she had hooked up with for six months when both were repaying their debts to society. “Arrested today. Desert-Gate Police HQ. Call Benny for bail. Maintenance Contract posted. You should check it out.”<br/><br/>A smile graced Jen’s lips for the first time in months. True friends were good. She let Benny know his sometime lover needed help and then thought about what she would wear for her first job interview … as if she had a choice. It didn’t take long to pack up her slender amount of gear. Whether she got the contract or not, she would not be returning to this room. She would either move up to something better or drift to even less expensive quarters.<br/><br/>Ninety minutes later, Jen presented herself to Police Veteran Morland in a pair of Spartan blue coveralls a well-worn gray shirt courtesy of the state. Her shoes were sturdy work boots, polished but no amount of polishing could disguise the gouges and marks from years of wear. “I’m a computer tech sir,” Jen stated as she presented her credentials. “I would like to apply for a spot on the team handling the maintenance contract.” Her tone said that she had little expectation of getting the job, but she tried a quick smile.

How ironic. Run away to avoid going to the Justice, and walk right to the Police. She hesitantly stepped inside and walked through the large space. It was completely devoid of luxury and even the lights seemed dark and crude. During her training Dawn had spent considerable amount of time in the lower levels of the city, but being here in a situation like this made it all so... real. There was no elegant home to return to now, no silky night gown to slip into after a steaming hot bath... no mom.<br/><br/>She clenched her jaw and picked up her pace, striding towards where she assumed she find an office space, until the ad on the wall caught her attention. There it was, the one that got her here. For a moment it seemed stupid. What was she going to do? Host a party in the desert and charm the problems away? Her shoulders hunched and she stared at the poster. What a mess.<br/><br/>A little group of men walked by chatting and the sound of their voices made Dawn snap to attention. They were talking about the load that should have come in today. About the closed gate and the unmanned posts. She was here to get away from her father, to get away from the life she was expected to live. If she went back now her father would force her to give up medicine. She'd go back to being Miss Becker, a hostess no doubt now that her mother was gone... Tears welled up in her eyes and her heart clenched as the image of her mother's body floated around in her head. She had no way to deal with this now, she needed to move. She needed to do something to get away from this because right now she had nowhere to go and no one to go to. Sarcastic, that Dawn Becker had no one to turn to. The 'princess' had only her castle, and when the castle was gone...<br/><br/>A couple of minutes later she stood in front of a Police Veteran Morland, her best mask in place as she introduced herself to him and the girl who was there before her.<br/>""Hi, I'm Dawn Becker. I'm a trained paramedic. I'm here for the maintenance contract."" She was confident and her smile showed nothing but determination and self assurance. Hey the ad did state 'all applications accepted'... She glanced at the girl and offered a smile, briefly looking at the outfit and tugging on her own leather jacket. Maybe she didn't really look like a person who'd be good for a job like this. Denim and cotton and leather... She should be wearing something practical. Oh well... No use thinking about that now."

There was reasons he did not spend times in the high rises, he loathed them, the little glass boxes that imprisoned those terrified to leave their little cage to see what the world had really become. Korvus was ""home"", the only city he had ever been in, his parents had retired as soon as they had enough money and had left him alone. In that time he settled in some small apartment that at one point been used as storage. The rent was cheap and it was secluded and hidden which offered him his privacy.<br/><br/>It had been a few weeks since his last job, enough to cover a few weeks of expenses as he waited on the next job to increase in value. Some people who moved money on the markets did the same, it was all about biding your time and waiting for the best opportunity and it had come up. Corbin had seen the post in the police HQ on his way to a hole in the wall tavern he frequented. After a stiff drink a hearty breakfast and a little romp with a girl who always looked happy to see him as long as he had money he was on his way to sign up.<br/><br/>Corbin only had a handful of credits left, not much to worry since he knew one job could get him enough money for a few months if he managed it well, which he wouldn't. There was no line as usual, not many where foolish enough to take on jobs out of the city so when he saw two people who looked out of place he could not help but chuckle.<br/>""You ladies lost?""<br/>He commented to no one in particular as he took a seat and waited for the chief or whoever was giving out the job to give him the details. One moved, she seemed eager to get out there, she would learn. Leaning back in the chair he kicked his dusty jeans in front of him and crossed his boots at the heel as he tilted his head down for a little shut eye. The prosthetic eye had been covered by his red bandanna, a make shift eye patch to prevent people from staring even if the red rag seemed to draw more attention then the flickering eye. The Police Hq was one of the safest parts of the city to get some sleep, he normally got drunk so he could spend a night in the drunk tank to sober up."

Interviews were for witnesses, because Sovereign didn't do interrogations. Morland had never been sure why, but he didn't bother asking, there was no chance of an answer, and asking Justices questions they couldn't answer always pissed them off.<br/><br/>""Just grab a chair and wait,"" he said. With that he checked his wrist display again, and went further into the station, toward the offices. The interview room was just a room with clear walls and clear door like all the others, except of course that from the inside it seemed like it had almost mettallic walls, and there was no way to see out. It was, perhaps, a holdover from when this police headquarters was part of a very human justice system."

She was nervous to be face to face with the Justice and her thoughts kept circulating back to what she walked out from earlier. She should be at home, dealing with her mother's death and her father's part in it. She should be handing over everything she'd gathered through the years to bring him to the Justice, not hiding from it all. She just knew her father would find a way to force her into doing what he wanted. He always did.

She then spoke to Dawn. “I’m Jen. I guess the three of us will be on this mission together. My area of expertise is more technical than anything. If there’s some sort of mechanical breakdown stopping the trucks from coming, I’m hoping I’ll be able to spot it and evaluate whether it’s fixable.

She had led a sheltered middle-class life until her arrest for fraud. She knew that pirates and raiders existed. They heard the stories, but she had never met anyone on the front line so to speak.

He sat back at his desk, looking up at the group.<br/><br/>""The Justice just arrived,"" he said, ""he's waiting in interview room two.""<br/><br/>The Justice was waiting, sitting on one side of the long interview table, with a holographic display at its center. From the short ends of the table the display was invisible, too thin to see, but sitting on one of the longer sides, where the display faced, or the other, it was as long as the table and clear as day. The Justice was a tall man, graying but with a strong figure. He'd been with the police in his youth, and it had made him a rather hard, and somewhat cynical public servant. He, like the other Justices tended to use the service elevators. It was a benefit to everyone if ordinary foot traffic wasn't impeded by the police or the Justices as they moved about the city. Of course, the elevator which accessed the secure area of the police headquarters was not used by anyone else.<br/><br/>His name-tag read, ""Carlisle (J)"" and his black clothing clearly set him apart from ordinary citizens. Of course, it was his right forearm which really differentiated him. The link, rested there, his right sleeve cut and trimmed with straps to display only the face of it. Underneath it was wrapped around his forearm like a mechanical parasite, its arms resting like a cage over his forearm, and its interior connections fused straight to the Justice's bone. The face that did show was much like any other device, a plain glass-like face that projected holographic imagery above his arm whenever it needed to. It also had a odd sort of mounted sphere, small, that rested in a socket at the very front of the device. It was blue in color, with a brighter blue iris-like lens. The camera-like structure seemed to swivel on its own, examining people, objects, the Judge, with its passive blue gaze.<br/><br/>The link made a Justice, a Justice, so there was no way to impersonate one, not without having a false link on one's arm, and that was easy enough to detect, even if one were to go the extra mile and fuse their fakery to their bone.<br/><br/>The Justice sat, waiting, more than enough chairs sitting opposite him for the team."

Her fingers moved to cover her own little mechanical treasure, the wrist terminal she'd been so happy about when her father got it for her. It was a little more advanced than the average terminal, her father's money and influence had made that sort of a thing easy business... Or perhaps it wasn't all that innocent, she now realized.

She is built thick and strong from regular visits to the gym and the matches she participates in. Competition is her sole motivation; to be the best and strongest against those in the ring.<br/><br/>While not the fastest wrestler, her strength, size, and technique are nearly unmatched. Submission moves are her specialty, with many opponents tapping out to her brutal, and sometimes humiliating techniques. She wrestles fairly, despite her addiction to winning and success, but she is extremely mean about it. Her foul mouth and attitude clash with her otherwise mouth-watering body and figure, and she never misses an opportunity to talk down or humiliate the competition.<br/><br/>Those who lose to Diamond are subjected to even more humiliation, as her sexual appetite is only matched by her size and strength.<br/><br/><br/><div align=""center"">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/60/Wrestler.jpg)(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/74/Wrestler2.jpg)</div><br/><div align=""center""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 24pt;""><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>STATS</strong></span></span><br/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;"">Strength</span></strong></td><td><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;"">3</span></strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;"">Speed</span></strong></td><td><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;"">1</span></strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;"">Cunning</span></strong></td><td><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 18pt;"">2</span></strong></td></tr></tbody></table></div>"

He's been working as an assistant at public training centers and gyms since he graduated from highschool, but didn't have the chance to grow, until about two years ago, one of his female acquaintances informed him about an organization that could use his skills, if he didn't mind a somewhat peculiar setting. His interest peeked, Simon followed up on the offer and checked it out. He's been sticking with the club ever since.<br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Simon is calm and helpful. He knows he's a male assistant in a place where the girls shine, and does his best to stay out of the spotlight. Regardless, he feels the responsibility that everything runs smoothly backstage. Lately, after assisting the referees for a few months, he's been given his own chance to referee, and he's quite happy with the job. When he's on a friendly foot with one of the contestants, he often nudges them to include him in the dares in some way, though he's not overly pushy at it.<br/><strong>Skills</strong>: In addition to the very basics of a backstage hand, Simon is a qualified masseur. He also has quite a bit of wrestling training under his own belt, and is happy to teach the women some tricks when asked.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Yeah, I recommend a link from the Players Wanted thread to this thread, and a link to all other threads from the first post in this thread.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote""><a href=""https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=97382.msg4239796#msg4239796"">Quote from: Visna on 09-02-2011, 15:29:34</a></div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">She arrived at ""Ring 3"" and  lifted herself, almost laughably due to her weight, inside the ring.</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>From what I understood, and verified with AllieCat over IM, there is no ""Ring 3"".

She has come to the conclusion that wrestling is a suitable field in which to put her entrepenurial talant to use.

Whether she wins or loses she realises that pleasing the crowd and building a fan base is important to her future success and as such will enthusiastically do whatever is necessary to sate the crowds appetite at the end of a match.<br/><br/>In the ring she wears a short white skirt and bikini top with kneehigh white boots. At the ringside she also wears a plumed helmet and carries a trident and union flag emblazoned shield.

Two doormen stood either side and opened the doors as the elegantly dressed woman lifted the front of her trailing black dress off the ground and climbed the stairs.

The buzz in the air made her heart flutter as she approached a door to the back rooms. She flashed her invitation and waited for the bouncer to open the door. Beyond was a small reception and a set of doors leading into the playing area. She took a deep breath and walked assuring into the poker room. She handed her invitation to the bouncer who challenged her at the door and took a moment to take in his impressive stature before her eyes were drawn to the table and the play area beyond. She raised an eyebrow at the scale and variety of the equipment on offer before stepping into the room, crossing directly to the table. Catherine ignored the cameras and the staff that were milling around and ran her fingers over the baize smiling inwardly. This is what poker is all out.<br/><br/>She was about to take a closer look at the dungeon and assembled devices available when, from the corner of her eye, she saw a well dressed man in a gray suit approaching, his cane clearly for show as his confident gait suggested power and authority.

Catherine and Ariel have the small and big blinds for this hand, respectively.  The button will pass by my seat when it comes back around, of course.""  As he spoke he began tossing cards out, dealing them to each of the players.  ""Aurora, you have first bet.""<br/><hr/>Catherine (4) (Small blind)<br/>Ariel (3) (Big blind)<br/>Aurora (5) (Active)<br/>Trish (5)<br/>Michael (5)<br/>Jill (5)<br/><br/>Pot: 3 chips"

It takes 1 hour to brew a dose of mutagen, and once brewed, it remains potent until used. An alchemist can only maintain one dose of mutagen at a time—if he brews a second dose, any existing mutagen becomes inert. As with an extract or bomb, a mutagen that is not in an alchemist’s possession becomes inert until an alchemist picks it up again.<br/><br/>When an alchemist brews a mutagen, he selects one physical ability score—either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. It’s a standard action to drink a mutagen. Upon being imbibed, the mutagen causes the alchemist to grow bulkier and more bestial, granting him a +2 natural armor bonus and a +4 alchemical bonus to the selected ability score for 10 minutes per alchemist level. In addition, while the mutagen is in effect, the alchemist takes a –2 penalty to one of his mental ability scores. If the mutagen enhances his Strength, it applies a penalty to his Intelligence. If it enhances his Dexterity, it applies a penalty to his Wisdom. If it enhances his Constitution, it applies a penalty to his Charisma.<br/><br/><br/>EXTRACTS:<br/>--Every morning, he may use his knowledge of trancandental alchemy to mix two Extracts of particular power.  Only he may administer them do to their synergy with his advanced study of trancandental alchemy.  If another tries to administer the extract it fails.<br/>Prepared extracts:<br/>1.  Cure Light Wounds<br/>2.  Keen Senses<br/><br/>FORMULAS (In formula book.):<br/>Crafter’s Fortune<br/>Cure Light Wounds<br/>Endure Elements<br/>Expeditious Retreat<br/>Jump<br/>Keen Senses<br/>Touch of the Sea<br/><br/>FEATS:<br/>--Dodge<br/>--Point Blank Shot<br/><br/>GEAR:<br/>Adventurer's Sash<br/>This bandoleer holds six pouches along its length and a satchel at the hip.

This fear and hatred, further escalated by reports that the Covenanter Army in Scotland was going to invade Ireland in an attempt to wipe out the catholic religion, reached to a point in 1642. It was During that time when the Old English formed an Alliance with the Gaelic lords at the Assembly of Killkenny. This Alliance (The Confederates of Killkenny) escalated the rebellion into a full blown war that would last 11 years, only to end when Cromwell invaded in 1649. Jacob spent that part of his life knowing of nothing but war. As soon as he was old enough to walk his father placed a practice sword in his hand, He would learn to move in layers of clothing designed to protect him.. if not for practice then just to emulate his father. Jacob still remembers the times he and his father would sit down together, and Brandon Whelan would tell him about the family's Axe.. how it had been passed down from father to son since the moment of its forging and had been in every great Irish conflict.<br/><br/>In 1649 the civil war in england was coming to an end, Whomsoever won that war would be the one to settle the affairs in Ireland. It eventually ended with the beheading of King Charles I and a large parliamentary army was on it’s way to Ireland, lead by none other then Oliver Cromwell. With 200,000 men Cromwell took Ireland and suppressed the catholics within 2 years time. Shortly there after the The Cromwellian Act of Settlement of 1652 is passed, this act allowed the seizing of lands owned by Catholics(of which Brandon Whelan was one) in a form of legalized ethnic cleansing. Forcing all those effected to relocate to the poorer lands in Connacht and Clare or to flee Ireland entirely. Brandon Whelan chose the later, due to his active role in the war he feared retribution by the English and escaped aboard an unlisted vessel with his family to Spain(Much like the The flight of the Earls in 1607).<br/><br/>It here that Jacobs life became a bit more dynamic, after their flight from Ireland and settlement in Spain Brandon Whelan became little more then a Drunk.With his father curled up inside a bottle and in a Foreign land he did what he could.He never could grasp the Spanish language and for most of his childhood felt alienated save for a few Irish families and English speaking traders that came through there. His anger often got the better of him, and more often then not at the end of any given day he would fine himself with a new bruise or cut. As soon as he was old enough he kissed his mother good bye, took his family's Axe and booked passage aboard the next boat away from there, never to look back on it again.<br/><br/>He ended up joining up with the crew of that first vessel, being taken in by the ships carpenter and learned that craft while he worked as physical labor.Though he spent a few years on that ship he never could pick up the finer points of seafaring. Instead he was happy to settle into the craft he was tought and be the big guy they called upon. There was more then a few times he would be called upon to assist in some heavy lifting or such. After a few years the captain retried and the new captain did not like him at all (Probably because Jacob broke the guys arm for talking Bad about Erin's isle before he became captain). it was then that Jacob moved on, now in Port Royal Jamaica he needed to search for something new, It was then he saw the notice....<br/>"

That’s rich.”<br/><br/>I read the billboard aloud.<br/><br/>The sun had just set. Cold mist crept from the lake onto the waterfront, hungering for the warmth of the land. Endless roads lead west, carrying those brave enough to travel them to an uncertain fate. The barren mountains cresting to the east basked in the moonlight.<br/><br/>I stood, alone, gazing out over the mass of water from the boardwalk. A purple sheen shimmered on the horizon – the day’s swansong. I had woken early from a short rest and allowed my thoughts to flow freely as the moon rose. I remembered my friends, long dead.  They travelled east, away from Salt Lake. Some to fight, some to never return. They got their wish. Sometimes I think I should have gone with them. But nah … too cowardly perhaps. Or … nah I’m ramblin’.<br/><br/>I recalled the speech Prince Hunter delivered to the Court a mere three months ago. “Defiance, determination, brotherhood!” he had declared, bolstering our reserve as we fought frantically night after night to hold on to what was ours.<br/><br/>Sabbat set the night ablaze back then, their hatred pure and unreasoning, their minds reckless and vicious.<br/><br/>We battled against impossible odds.<br/><br/>We lost many.<br/><br/>My friends.<br/><br/>An easy evening wind sent chills down my spine. I dug my hands deeper in the pockets of my coat. Some times I think too much. It never leads anywhere good.<br/><br/>I started a slow saunter towards the Elysium. The Hotel Olympique stands in the distance, gazing out over the lake. The street bustles as I make my way over, unseen by mortal eyes.<br/><br/>The nights were quiet now. No idea why  the Sabbat decided to let off. Some like to believe it’s cause we gave them a good solid ass whoopin’ couple of weeks ago. Heard some of the stronger ones got taken out. I wasn’t so sure. Maybe they just got bored of us … lost interest … decided to leave us to the wolves. They sure had us on the ropes … all I’m sayin’.<br/><br/>My friends are gone. Made damn sure they didn’t have to wait long for their killers.<br/><br/>It’s quiet now, though. But they’ll be back. Sabbat never took pity on a town before.<br/><br/>There’ll be more fighting.<br/><br/>‘Of strategic importance’, they say. ‘A foothold bordering on the Anarch free states and the main Sabbat influence’, they say.<br/><br/>Why<em>do </em>newbies come here? I’ll tell you why.  They come here ‘cause they’re out of options already – whether they realize it or not.

The evening seemed quiet. Traffic rolled through the grid to and from the city center, sky scrapers advertised the million dollar companies housed within. A ribbon of lights highlighted the main road leading towards the plot of lakeside hotels, the hotel Olympique neither the smallest nor the largest amongst them. Popular with tourists and businessmen alike the Hotel Olympique hosted seminars as well as guided tours. The food was first class and the rooms varied from tourist class to VIP suites.<br/><br/>On Tuesday and Friday nights a red ribbon closed off the corridor leading towards the conference rooms and an attendant in Hotel Olympique’s livery stood guard, politely turning away those who had no business with the gatherings of the Salt Lake City Improvement Committee. “Donations would be welcome”, he explained, indicating a nearby table where a flyer could be found amongst the regular advertisements and coupons from restaurants, theatres and, inevitably, Madame Tussauds.<br/><br/>**<br/><br/><em><strong>Henry:</strong></em><br/><br/>When Henry Marrow woke up in his apartment on the evening following the life changing encounter with his former lover, he was blissfully unaware of the impending meeting at the Hotel Olympique. He didn’t know of the SLC or its meetings two evenings a week. Oh, his financial department might have donated to the cause; charity was a legitimate source of tax reduction but the owner of Marrow Corporation hardly ever had to deal with such trivialities.<br/><br/>No, there were more pressing matters demanding his attention. First and foremost there was a sweet, coppery smell permeating his luxurious penthouse. The scent tugged at his senses, and stirred a primal desire for food deep within. Oh, it was nothing he could not ignore, but it was new as were the small dark stains marring his carpet here and there. There were other signs of disorder: his bed sheets were not crumpled as usual after a night’s sleep and the heavy curtains in his bedroom had been drawn and sealed to the wall with heavy duct tape that looked crude against the white plaster.<br/><br/>And on top of that, there was a note on the nightstand that carried Daniela Wong’s perfume.<br/><br/>“Dear Henry,” It read.<br/><br/>“You will be confused and perhaps angry. I understand.<br/><br/>Now it is your turn to understand me. What has been done, has been done. There is no going back. Read this twice, my dear, and I shall repeat: there is no going back.<br/><br/>Soon, you and I shall speak, and I will tell you what you need to know. Until then, be careful. Do not speak with anyone of what happened.<br/><br/>Trust no one. “<br/><br/>**<br/><br/><em><strong>Amanda:</strong></em><br/><br/>The animals had been silent again. No whispers disturbed her rest, no screams or confidentialities came from their plush lips. Their beady, plastic eyes watched her from their shelves and, for the lucky ones, from her bed. One of them, a little pink elephant particularly seemed to hold an interest for the young woman. Perhaps due to a trick of the light its eyes appeared to follow her every move, its little trunk raised in silent trumpeting.<br/><br/>It had been weeks since their screams had last troubled her. Their wails had haunted Amanda’s mind when her clan mate Sarah Lavigne had met final death by a Lasombra’s hand. Sarah had been avenged, but Amanda’s companions had retained a sad, mournful silence ever since.<br/><br/>Unlike Henry Amanda knew the SLCIC was meeting tonight, as she knew the cover it presented. Elysium was open for business and although court wasn’t in session the kindred of Salt Lake City would be welcome to mingle if they chose.<br/><br/>On the other hand, there had been a message from William Jones, one of The Light Foundation’s psychiatrists. They had assigned a guest room for Miss Kyleson; if she would kindly contact them to discuss her preferences and requirements?<br/><br/>**<br/>"

His mind refused to believe the idea that he had been changed by Daniela. It had not been a change he wanted or had even asked for, she had just taken it upon herself to change him. Change him into this horrible thing that killed to live. His mind refused to even think of the word that currently described his status. Henry was in denial, completely and utterly. His eyes opened, seeing his ceiling. Inwardly, he was praying that all of last night was a dream and he had just been napping or something and this was him waking up.<br/><br/>His mind had not been able to forget all of it, but certain things he could not forget, the appearance of Daniela at his doorstep with another girl after he had specifically called and told her that they were not going to be together again because he had Lindsey and she made him happy. He needed no one else. After that there was a lot of blur that was occurring in his memories until he got to the point at which he was biting the company she had brought over, a girl that looked a little too much like Lindsey for him to be all that comfortable with his actions but there was this sense that he had not cared at the time and was much more focused on drinking her blood. It made him nearly want to puke at the thought.<br/><br/>Henry held it back quite easily since his body was not going to reject food just because his moral code was in shambles. In fact, he had a feeling that he was just a tad bit hungry, something that was not unusual from waking up from a slumber. Yet, he had a thought that this very slight bit of hunger he was feeling was not all about heating up and eating actual food but more of something of the red liquid variety. He hated to admit that was what he needed to do. But it was okay, he was good it seemed for now. It was just the scent that was eating at him, the scent of blood that was in the air of his penthouse.<br/><br/>After a long while, he sat up to look around the room to see that sheet's stark whiteness with the black dresser underneath it, it had the scent of Daniela on it. The woman who had put him through all of this, yet it seemed he was expected to owe her some debt for giving him this gift he did not want nor need. He leaned over to the side of his bed, his skin pressing against the dark purple fabric of his sheets as he reached over to take the white sheet into his hands. He stared at it for a moment, not really reading what was written there but just feeling it in his hands as he laid there on his bed with his chest in the air, and the paper above him. This was the proof that all had happened had been real, he was now a part of them rather than the people he had once called us.<br/><br/>When that moment of realization was over, he read the paper quickly, thinking that it could possibly be some indication that this was all some cruel joke and that all that had occurred was just a lie. But this was not so as evidenced by her words on the page. His eyes passed across the page nearly in disbelief, as if reading the words over and over ,as they were literally burned into his brain as if each letter was being branded into place in his memory, was going to somehow change its meaning to something that he wanted.<br/><br/>This was one of the times that Henry was not getting what he wanted. Henry let that feeling sink in. Once it had, it felt like he had put a 100 pound weight on his shoulders. He had plans as a human, he wanted to marry Lindsey one day, have kids with her one day, make the Marrow Corporation all the more powerful across the globe, but now he was going to possibly lose all of that because some woman thought that it would be fun to make him into one of them. He was more than happy as one of the majority, of the ones he had once regarded as ""us"". She had taken it all away from him, and from the looks of things, left him to fend on his own for now.<br/><br/>A thought a strong man should never have, popped into mind for a moment as he looked over to his mirror that had just a single drop of blood on it that made him focus on one thing. The fact that every creature no matter how strong or fast or smart they are could die. He could die. And in fact he could choose when he died if he thought of the one thing he had refused to think about. Suicide. The ultimate taking of control from others, but also showing that you are truly out of control. With the one thing above all others, you are weak. Anyone who had met Henry Marrow knew one thing, he was not a weak man. So for him to go out like that would not only ruin his own image, he would ruin a lot of lives if he did that, one of them being Lindsey's. But he was not going to choose to live for them or her. He was choosing life rather than death because that was just not something that he would do. He was living for himself not others.<br/><br/>He sat up, swung his legs over the bed, and stepped out onto the floor of his penthouse where he saw these red spots on the floor that seemed to have a way of trailing to his bed. Henry let out a sigh as he made it over to the kitchen to grab the cleaning supplies that the help sometimes used when they came over. Henry bent down at his sink, opened the cabinet to pull out the bleach, got a few rags, and then walked over to where the dots began. After a thorough search of the house and a few hours of his time, he felt that he had cleaned all of the evidence of what happened, acting as if it was all normal. This had all been done with his brain on automatic as he refused to think about the fact of why he was doing what he was doing, but as soon as he put the cleaning supplies away, what he should have been thinking about had all come rushing back.<br/><br/>Lindsey and him had planned to have dinner last night, but he had missed it because of all that had gone down. Henry ran over to his phone the moment that thought popped into his head. He picked it up called out, ""Lindsey."" the phone then registered what he was saying and then began to dial her number, then it paused for a moment and tried to connect."

Two white doors on either side led to smaller rooms where kindred of rank convened at certain nights. At the far end the hallway angled towards the right and opened into a sumptuous foyer, dotted by small marble-topped tables flanked by comfy chairs. A Steinway & Sons piano stood in an alcove to the left. Near the piano stood Hayden Moreau, a Tremere, engaged in seemingly pleasant conversation with a Toreador of formidable reputation. Antoinette Courvoisier was well known for her talent to ridicule and was as much feared as she was respected.<br/><br/>At the far end near the open double doors leading to the SLCIC conference room was Anton Zolic. The Brujah Primogen's voice betrayed his slavic accent as he spoke to two kindred Amanda didn't know. ""He did what?!"" Anton waved his arms. ""Idiots!"" He whipped out a cell phone, waved to his companions with one hand, beckoning them to stay and stalked past Amanda towards one of the hallway doors, disappearing inside. The other two looked uncomfortable until one shrugged.<br/><br/>""Out of our hands now"", he commented.<br/><br/>""Pavel's brought it upon himself."" The other agreed.<br/><br/>Their gaze turned towards Amanda, they exchanged a glance and one nudged the other, tilting his head towards the open double doors. With a last glance at Amanda, the two headed inside. Beyond the double doors lay the main conference room of the SLCIC, declared elysium by the late Roger Fitzpatrickfrom Clan Ventrue and reinstated by the current Prince."

All the other messages were from Tracy, Henry’s PA, in various degrees of concern, irritation, exasperation and genuine worry.<br/><br/>“Mister Marrow, I would like to remind you of your appointment with the staff at 10.” This message was time-stamped at 9.50 AM.<br/><br/>“Sir, I have rescheduled the staff meeting to next week and cancelled all appointments for this morning, do you wish me to keep the ones for this afternoon?”<br/><br/>The last one was time-stamped at 7.30, and her concern was clearly audible in the short message stating she had dealt with the daily concerns and hoped to speak with him soon.<br/><br/>Then two things happened at the same time.

He nearly wanted to throw his phone at the wall for not reaching her in all this time, but he stopped himself. He was going to leave her a voicemail or else the call would have been useless. His mind quickly made up his mind as to what to say, he was going to keep it simple and short. There was no need to get gushy for he knew that Lindsey would just see through all of that anyway.<br/><br/>""Lindsey, Its Henry. I am sorry about last night. I will make it up to you. Just call me and we will discuss it."" It was all he could say before he ended the call. As soon as he took the call away from his ear, he heard the notification that he had messages, fifteen of them in total. Henry hit the button to call his voicemail and sat through them all. Lindsey was worried about him, and so was Tracy. But none of them seemed to know where he was. He felt bad about making them feel this way, it made him feel like he had done some major screw up. Of course, Henry was thinking of a way to make it up to both of them. He just did not know exactly how.<br/><br/>His phone buzzed to life once more with a blank caller ID coming up on the screen while his intercom buzzed, usually he would have just ignored the call, but at the moment he was not going to considering that his life had literally been flipped upside down in the past 24 or so hours and he had nothing to really go off of. All he knew was that he was going to have to find some way to come up with a plan to either get rid of his disease or hide it like the true curse it was in his eyes. With his current luck, it was going to be incurable.<br/><br/>Henry stepped across the room to his intercom while hitting the button on his phone to activate the call. As the phone was just barely connecting, he pressed the button on the intercom and said, ""Come on up."" He buzzed them in to allow them up. He knew that the person he was letting up was not Lindsey, due to the fact that they had to go through the intercom, she would not need to since he told the guard downstairs that she was free to come up since she had a key to the place and he had told her countless times that his home was her home if she needed a place to get away for a while.<br/><br/>His attention turned from that to the phone call, ""Hello?"""

If it had been someone who wished him harm, even if they knew where he lived and could get here, he still had the protection of the security company that maintained the building, an elevator that would only go up with the security guard's approval, and a stairwell that was also locked unless used by an electric passkey.

It held the essentials: a bed, a bookcase, a closet as well as a heavy desk and a desk chair. The floor was covered with a thick carpet in the color of burnished copper. “If and when you leave the Chantry, you are to send word to me of your destination before you go.” She pointed to a rotary dial phone sitting on his desk. Next to it was a rolodex, which seemed mostly empty. It was opened at the C and held a couple of house dial codes.

One slender, pale hand curled around the iron bar. Her other hand came up and touched Henry’s face in an oddly affectionate gesture. “You can never go back”, she said. There was no smugness in that statement, no gloating. It sounded as if she repeated a phrase from long ago. Her eyes sought his, kindness bestowed in that look. “I will teach you, my childe. You will learn all that you wish to know, and much that you will want to forget.” Her fingertip trailed his jaw line, a sensual movement that was belied by his Sire’s businesslike demeanor.<br/><br/>“There are many rules but there six that are set in stone. These are the rules that ensure our survival.You have heard the first, and perhaps the most important one: the Masquerade.<br/><br/>“Thou shalt not reveal thy true nature to those not of the blood. Doing such shall renounce thy claims of Blood.”<br/><br/>Daniela lowered her hand and half-turned back towards the view. “This involves more than just not telling anyone. It means that you will not inspire suspicion, create no cause for investigation.” Her beautiful Asian features smoothed to the blank mask she so often presented the world with, unreadable. “While our society is complex in its dealing with smaller transgressions, we have pretty much only one punishment for the larger ones.”<br/><br/>“Death.”<br/><br/>Daniela glanced down at the concrete below. Her head turned left and right, her eyes scanned the night. A slow smile curled upon the soft red lips.<br/><br/>“Consider that your first college. Muse over what I told you about the first Tradition. Memorize it, and tomorrow I will ask you some questions.”<br/><br/>Setting both hands on the railing Daniela hopped on up. Seated on the iron bar she swung her legs over to the other side. Both hands gripped the rail as she looked over her shoulder at her childe. “Come on up”, she invited, patting the railing beside her.<br/><br/>The street below seemed very far away. Looking over the railing Henry could see the small park, the trees and bushes formed amorphous black spots against the medium dark of the paths and grass. The outline of a small bench was vaguely visible in the periphery of a damaged street lantern. “Try to avoid the fence”, Daniela advised calmly. “That might be a bit more than you can handle.”<br/>"

He seemed calmer now and his voice had returned to normal, although it was still loud enough to be overheard. “Some nights I believe I have the only sane childe in this city.” Chuckling at the frowns appearing on several kindred’s faces he continued in a hushed tone, for Amanda’s ears only. “The Brujah messed up.” He said. “Anton’s dealing with Pavel but he’s too late. A bit more foresight, and nothing like this would’ve happened."" He sat up straight and templed his fingers as if giving a lecture to a classroom. ""All children want to be heroes"", he stated. ""Batman, Spiderman, Garouman, whatever. Give them enough room, spare the rod and they'll run off, creating messes that we'll get to clean up."" He scowled. ""I want you to keep an eye on them.

His question that remained a thought but nothing more was,<em>""That is what someone told you, isn't it?""</em>What he had in turn decided to say was this,""If I ever find a way back I will find a way to get you back there first."" Henry did not want to insult her if this was a life that she in fact wanted.

This was considered an abomination back in the 17th century and the hatred she experienced when her to become a spy and assassin. Arrested and sent to an asylum for her ""insanity,"" she befriended an elderly senile alchemist who crafted a formula that would preserve her youth and beauty forever. It also had the inadvertent side effect of giving her powers over cold. After escaping, de Winter eventually took part in the French Revolution under an assumed name and encouraged its bloodthirstiness. During the first half of the 20th century, she became a Nazi agent and personally executed several members of the French Resistance. Before Berlin fell, de Winter escaped with countless treasure the Nazis had seized in France and made her way to America under the name Charlotte Backman. With the rise of superhumans, she began to act like a comic book villainess for the fun of it. She used her real name, now associated with a notorious fictional character, as her ""alias.""

While others of his race used their gifts to culture peace and sentient life, Door leapt from world to world, exploiting the inhabitants to suit his needs. He was eventually caught and cast into this dimension, which was then sealed from the outside. After adjusting to life in one dimension, he assumed the name Landon Porter and attached himself to the first super power he could find, the US government. He rose through the ranks of the FBI through use of scheming and his gating ability, eventually coming in contact with the league and offering his services as an informant and problem solver, squelching numerous investigations into the league's activity from within the Bureau itself.

this wasn't the first time that they had played out this little game.  Mr. Wilkins didn't have any plans to fire her or letting her go.  In fact, Nicole was the most popular girl at the location even with all her shortcomings because of her cute, blond bombshell appearance.  The amount of business she brought when she was working was staggering.  But she knew what she had to do in order to stay on his good side and restore his temper.  ""Please, Mr. Wilkins.  Don't let me go.""  Her hands, which had been previously occupied with her tank top, clasped themselves together in a begging manner.  For the first time in the conversation, she lifted her head to meet his gaze and made a cute, pouting look that had melted the hearts of several men before him.   ""I'll do whatever it takes to stay on.  I really, really<em>need </em>this job.""  And she really did.  The amount she cleared in tips per night was easily three hundred dollars on average and she could make almost two times the amount on a good night.  And the money she earned at the restaurant was the only thing that kept her from choking down an extra creamy, protein shake every morning from her landlord, Mr. Thompson.  She had already been late on the rent twice and he had indicated that if she had trouble paying, he'd have no choice but to evict her from her condo.  Unless, of course, they would be able to work out some form of alternative payment...<br/><br/>It was a fate worse than death in her mind.  And honestly, if she had to pick between the two men who held her life in the balance, she'd much rather pick Mr. Wilkins to work on her apple polishing skills.  At least he was a reasonably handsome man in his mid-thirities with his close-cut crew and square jaw.  On some of his better days, Nicole could even imagine or at least pretend being reasonably attracted to him.  Mr. Thompson, on the other hand, was as old as her father with his receding hairline, graying hair that he desparately tried to dye every month, and his sagging pot-belly that hung over his belt along with his beady black eyes that undressed her a layer at a time whenever she showed up to drop off the rent check.<br/><br/>Of course, the logical, dispassionate side of her brain that enabled her to be one of the top earners at Sigma-Aldrich cynically noted that she could easily have crushed both men with just her right pinky finger.  It was one of the benefits to her newfound super-strength that she had acquired through that laboratory accident a nearly seven or eight months back.  Though also following that same logical course of thought, she knew that it was smarter to keep a secret, especially since her company was paying her handsomely for it.  That and the fact that she was now technically a wanted criminal as well.<br/><br/><em>""Seriously, help in one single robbery and you're wanted for life...""</em>she thought to herself.<br/><br/>Impassively, Torrance Wilkins gazed at the pentient blonde for several seconds longer before his eyes softened as a small smile made it to his lips.  ""All right.  I'll let it go for now.  But I'll expect a better performance in the future.  Perhaps you'll be call in for some make-up shifts so I can see your improvement.""  A long significant pause was given.  ""Some late night make-up shifts.""  A hint of a lecherous smirk appeared at the corner of his lips before it vanished.  So far, he hadn't called her in yet, but that could always change.  He knew that he had her bent over and tied to a barrel.  Then, another heavy sigh was given as he began to shuffle some of the paperwork piling up on his desk. It was usually a sign that she could go.<br/><br/>""Thank you, sir!  I won't disappoint you in the future!""  Nicole smartly said, bobbing her head up and down enthusiatically, relief stamped all over her features.  Keeping this job that she would barely be able to keep up with this month's rent along with the interest on her credit card payments.  In her mind, it meant she deserved a reward for her hard work and she already had the perfect gift in mind.  There were a pair of UGG boots that she had seen in a nearby store window and if she just worked a little harder this the next week or so, she still would be able to come up with enough cash to meet rent...<br/><br/>Outside of the office, another sigh--this one being of annoyance, weariness, and a few other unknown emotions mixed in, escaped her lips.  With her shift ending, Nicole prepared to leave.  However, her night wasn't over just yet.<br/><br/>""Well, well, well...if it isn't Mr. Wilkins' favorite girl.  Obviously too good to be around the rest of us.""  Nicole suppressed a wince at the vindictive voice and concealed a flash of irritation.  The source of the voice was Traci Atkins, a tall, attractive brunette, who had been working at Hooters for nearly three years now.  She was considered the role model employee, having won the Employee of the Year award both years that she had been working there and was currently gunning to be the first peron ever to win three times in a row.  It was said that she was even being considered for the national competition, the Hooters Swimsuit Competition, later this year.  The only sore point was that she had lost her status as ""Cutest Girl of the Month"" which she also won since she had started working there at this location.  This month, the votes had gone to Nicole by a significant margin and it was obvious that she was making sure to quash a potential rival.<br/><br/>As always, she was surrounded by a gaggle of girls that fawned over her every word.  They also similarly glared at Nicole, showing their distate for her.  And in all honesty, the blond-haired girl could have cared less about all the pettiness and in-home backstabbing.  All she wanted to do at this moment was leave.  ""Excuse me.  I need to get going,"" she said as she attempted to squeeze by the crowd of girls blocking the doorway.  Once again, she entertain the thought of using her strength to send them all flying.<br/><br/>As she forced her way past them, Traci smirked and called after her.  ""We all know the real reason why he keeps such a klutzy ditz like you around.  Swallow much?""  A chorus of giggles and shouts followed her as Nicole felt the blood rushing to the tips of her ears.<br/><br/>""No, I'll leave that type of thing to you.  After all, you're much more suited for it.  You've got the bigger mouth.""  And with those words, she was out the door of the bar and into the street as she felt the night air brush against her, cooling the sweat from her body and sending her hair whipping in her eyes.  Lowering her head, she picked up pace as she determinedly walked three blocks to her car, which was a bright cherry-red Z4 convertible with a pristine white folding top.  While there was parking available next to the Hooters, Nicole never did for fear that the other girls might do something to her newly purchased car.  A car to which she was still making payments to every month.  Reaching into her Balenciaga Silver Velo purse she fished out her keys, the car humming to life as she slid in the driver's seat before slamming her foot down on the accelerator and peeling out of the parking lot and onto the main roads.<br/><br/>...leaving her worries behind for another night.<br/><br/><br/><em>~Later, at the League HQ~<br/><br/><strong>Clickty-clack, clicky-clack, clickty-clack...</strong></em><br/><br/>That was the noise that her Jimmy Choo heels made on the marble tiling of the floor of Laprade Enterprises.  However, it was drowned out by the sound of her gabbing on her iPhone.  ""Really Mary-Ann, you would not believe the kind of day that I've had...""  Dressed in a form-hugging tee with the words emblazoned with the words--<strong>KEEP IT JUICY</strong>-- and a pair of Gucci jeans that clung to her hips like a second skin, Nicole looked like some spoiled executive's child as oppose to a working woman who scrimped for every dollar.  ""Can you believe what I have to put up with at the job?  I mean, really?!? Don't you think it's ridiculous?! It's inhumane!""  Nicole exclaimed into the phone, cradling it to her ear with her left shoulder, showing impressive multi-tasking skills as she reached into her Neverfull and pulled out a cardkey which she promptly swiped against the access pad to the elevator.  Briefly, she tossed her head up to let her Prada shades slide down enough to unveil her eyes as she let the retina scanner confirm her identity.<em>'Please state your code for access,'</em>a synthesized voice rang out.<br/><br/>""Getting together later this week?  Sounds<em>Glamorous.""  'Access confirmed.  Please proceed into the lift.' </em>""Maybe we should go to the Velvet Room?  I really liked the atmosphere last time and they make a killer martini although I also wanted to try a few other things.  Maybe do some dancing.""  And onto the lift she went, still talking non-stop into her phone even as the doors slid shut.<br/><br/>She was still talking when she stepped into the planning room for the League.  ""I know, right?  Derek is sooooo dreamy.  And he told me that he has something special planned for my birthday.  Aren't a lucky girl? I'll bet he's going to give me diamonds, like a diamond necklace maybe.  It's going to be gorgeous.""  A glance was barely given to acknowledge the other occupant in the room.  It actually never occurred to Nicole how disrespectful her actions might be, she was too engrossed in gossiping.  ""Wait, she got together with who!?!"" she half-shrieked in surprise.  ""No wait, tell me all the details later!  I've got to go.  Got to start my other job.""  A brief pause was given before she burst into giggles.  ""Oh, don't worry about me!  I won't work too hard!  Promise!  Love ya!  Buh-bye!""  Nicole blew a semi-flirtatious kiss into the phone before pressing the button to end the call.  However, she almost immediately began to text afterwards--no doubt to that boyfriend of hers she had been bragging about.  It was this apparent lack of concentration that almost caused her to fall flat on her face as one of her heels caught on the floor.  Skidding forward, she half-flung herself into a seat as she spun around it in wildly, bobbling back and forth like some deranged child's toy before coming to a stop.  However, her fingers still flew back and forth in an intricate dance as she typed away on the screen."

But it wasn't<em>the</em>best apartment in the building. That would be the penthouse, occupied by one Charlotte Backman. John didn't know much about her and neither did any of the other tenants. It was obvious she had money coming out the ass, a pretty nice ass at that. But where she got it from was a mystery. It wasn't like she was forthcoming with information. Charlotte was hot in a sort of uptight librarian way, she gave out a clear ""look but don't touch"" vibe. But John just considered that a challenge. So when he found himself in the elevator with the mysterious Ms. Backman, he thought he'd give it a shot.<br/><br/>""Nice night.""<br/><br/>Charlotte Backman turned to look at him. She was an attractive blonde, with her hair pulled back so tight it looked painful.  Charlotte wore a pair of matronly glasses but her blue eyes were quite visible behind them. Her gaze was completely apathetic.<br/><br/>""I suppose.""<br/><br/>She went back to staring at the doors. John was at a bit of a loss. He would have at least expected something. Interest, annoyance... but he never had a woman look at him like he was nothing the way she did. It totally through him off of any sort of game plan.<br/><br/>""Uh, yeah. Got any plans?""<br/><br/>""Yes.""<br/><br/>There was a long pause as John came to realize that was the extent of her answer.<br/><br/>""Cool. Me too. Not much, just hanging with some friends.""<br/><br/>No response at all from Charlotte. A long awkward silence followed. Well, awkward for John. His fellow passenger didn't seem to mind at all. Thankfully the elevator reached the lobby and the doors opened. Charlotte stepped out, so John had one last chance.<br/><br/>""Have fun with... whatever.""<br/><br/>Not exactly his finest moment but the woman had given him nothing to work with. John didn't understand. He was good-looking and successful but didn't come off as some douche think women owed him some pussy. She could have at least acted like a human being.<br/><br/>""Frigid bitch... "" he muttered under his breath.<br/><br/>Suddenly he was hit with a massive headache, like the kind he would get as a kid when he ate ice cream too fast. John clutched at his skull and gritted his teeth as his head felt like it was going to implode.<br/><br/>""Jesus Fucking Christ!""<br/><br/>And as she left the lobby, a small smile appeared on Charlotte Backman's face. She entered a white limo and drove off into the Ursa City night. Before too long the car pulled up to a side entrance to the Laprade Spire. The woman that got out of the limo bore a superficial resemblance to the one that had entered. Her blonde hair was loose and she wore no glasses. But the biggest difference was in how she moved. Charlotte Back was prim and proper. This woman was like a predator moving through a snowy forest in search of prey. Then again, a predator was exactly the kind of creature Milady de Winter was.<br/><br/>(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/abcde6/New_X-Men_Cover_131.jpg)<br/><br/>""Merci, Frances,"" she said to the Asian girl behind the wheel of the limo. ""Feel free to have the rest of the night off.""<br/><br/>While Charlotte spoke English without trace of accent or inflection, Milady de Winter loved to exaggerate her Gallic origins. When she spoke, a small white cloud of fog appeared in front of her lips, as if if was a much colder evening that it actually was. Frances nodded and drove off. She was one of two servants employed by Milady de Winter, the other being Francis, an Asian man who bore a striking resemblance to Frances.  They had been Vietnamese orphans whisked away from their troubled homeland decades ago. Frances and Francis had been brought up to serve Milady de Winter with complete devotion, first in Paris and now in Ursa City. She kept no secrets from them being she knew their entire existence was centered on making their mistress happy.<br/><br/>There was one thing more than any other that made Milady de Winter happy... crime. Not because of any financial rewards, she had no need of that. No, de Winter simply loved to mock the laws of society. Society had labelled her a freak, a monster, simply because she felt deeply in her heart she was born into a body that was not hers. But ever since that chance meeting centuries ago, she had the power to show society what a monster really was.<br/><br/>Entering a secret door, Milady de Winter made her way to the hidden headquarters of the League. so far sh had been quite pleased with her latest allies. They might not have had the overwhelming force of the Nazis but they were far less annoying than Hitler and his cronies. When she arrived in the meeting room, her eyes glittered with excitement over what chaos they might cause, glittered like sunlight on snow.<br/><br/>""Bon soir, mes amies! Pardon moi for being fashionably late. Ah, but I now see that I am not the last after all.""<br/><br/><br/><br/>"

I am always more than willing to help better the city in any way I can.”<br/><br/>She bid goodbye to the mayor, then hung up the phone, smirking in amusement. What did the mayor love more, her supposed good deeds to the city, or the money that she had behind her name? It was likely the money, as Laprade Enterprises was one of the few things holding Ursa City together, and the company had plenty of money to go around. Whatever it cost for the mayor and the city to dance through her little hoops was well worth the investment.<br/><br/>Of course, there would come the time where he would drop to his knees before her, then literally kiss her ass. It was one of the moments that Dione dreamed of: he would plant his lips firmly on her cheeks, and she would relish the look on his face right before she sucked the life right out of his weak little body. That day could never come fast enough.<br/><br/>From her penthouse office (http://leonardharman.com/FILM/IMAGES/AngelOffice4.jpg) atop of Laprade Spire, she finished up her day of ‘ordinary work.’ The days were difficult and long; it wasn’t easy being the CEO of one of the world’s most powerful industries. But unlike most CEOs, she could take out her frustration and anger out in a completely different and more satisfying way.<br/><br/>She packed her things in her briefcase, then went to her private elevator, but she had no intention of leaving through the front door. As CEO, she had private access to a personal garage, but she had no plans of going home. Instead, there was a cleverly hidden panel next to the elevator buttons, and inside was a screen that scanned her palm.<br/><br/>“<em>How may I help you, Miss Laprade</em>?” said a pleasant, prerecorded voice.<br/><br/>“‘There is no good and evil, only power and those too weak to seek it’,” she quoted. The elevator doors shut, and the car began to descend. It quickly passed the length of the building, but then proceeded to go deeper, past the sub-basements, and even past the parking garage.<br/><br/>When the doors opened again, she stepped into the halls of The League’s Headquarters. Stone caverns reinforced with metal beams stretched in every direction, but she knew the maze like the back of her hand. She had built it, after all, completely in secret from her own company and the entire city.<br/><br/>The first thing she did was go to her personal quarters and change out of her work clothes. She stripped off the sleek black blazer and professional skirt, and slipped into something far more comfortable and appropriate. Though it like latex and had a similar feel, it was actually a super fine weave of ballistic resistant clothing, developed in Laprade Enterprises’ weapon division. The pants were a shiny black, hugging every contour of her shapely hips and thighs, and the top was a red blazer, trimmed with black waist cincher. It was a little tight, so she was forced to leave the top few buttons undone to giver her ample chest some breathing room from behind its lacey bra.<br/><br/>She turned and left her quarters, no longer Dione Laprade, billionaire bachelorette, but The Countess, the evil scourge who plagued Ursa City.<br/><br/>She entered the conference room in her typical sultry stride, the whisper of latex thighs creaking teasingly. Most of her subordinates had already arrived, and she was pleased at their punctuality.<br/><br/>“Welcome, my fellow colleagues,” she greeted, taking her seat at the head of the table. “I take it you are all prepared to discuss our next plan of action?”"

So far, nothing had worked.   And that was part of the reason why the chemical company was willing to pay her so much; she was both part researcher and part guinea pig.  If they could find out the secret to her newfound strength and resilience, Sigma-Aldrich would be able to market the serum to governments for a new breed of super-soldier.<br/><br/>As the Countess mused aloud, Glamorous interrupted towards the end as she frowned thoughtfully.  ""They're displaying it as bait, right?  They obviously want us to come in because we know how important it is.  And they'll be laying some kind of trap for us.  Which kind of seems more something villian-ish.  But it's obvious from the fact that Landon mentioned that the Interpol and CIA are involved.  They're expecting trouble.""  At least, that's what made sense in her mind.  Unless the Order was simply full of idiots who couldn't tell their left hand from their right one.  Which she was willing to admit might also be a distinct possibility.<br/><br/>At this point, Dr. Creel came in and apologized for his lateness.  Nicole resisted the urge to giggle; honestly, he reminded her of a few of the other researchers that worked at Sigma-Aldrich.  Absent-minded but brilliant.  He had even forgotten to take off his laboratory coat and left the goggles perched atop of his head like some exotic bird.<br/><br/>Clearing her throat, Glamorous ignored the feeling of self-consciousness as she voiced the question she knew that everyone was thinking.  ""So when should we go in to try and grab the scarab?  Should we show up as guests at the party and then make our move?  Having hostages in the crowd might be useful to get away.  Or we could always go after...""  Her sentence was never finished as the iPhone buzzed loudly once before beginning to blast the opening lines of ""Never Again"" by Kelly Clarkson on the conference table, flustering Nicole as her face flamed red.  She swiped at it, picked it up from the table, and then proceeded to fumble around with it, juggling it in her hands for a few moments before it fell to the floor and awkwardly bounced underneath the table.<br/><br/>Still merrily blasting away the music.  ""...sorry..."" she said meekly before slipping out of her chair to get on her hands and knees as she began to look for her phone.  She had a sinking feeling in her stomach that this little display was going to definitely affect the bonus that was promised at the end of this particular job."

Overhead, the Countess began to outline her plan for the theft of the Rubric Scarab and who should take what role as Glamorous made sure to listen intently.  Then, she looked to see where the number was from.  Upon seeing it, her expression became inscrutable and hooded, which was very different from her norm.  And against all her better judgment, she pressed the button once more to receive the call as she spoke in low, hushed tones so her voice wouldn't carry.<br/><br/><em><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 8pt;"">""...you know that I don't like...""  ""...uh-huh.  Right.""  ""...I know I'm late."" ""...yes, I know that this is the third time.""...yes, I understand."" ""...the money will be there.  Don't worry.""  ""...I'll send it right after this.  I'm in the middle of a meeting.""</span></em>Another long pause was given.<em><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 8pt;"">""...howishe?""</span></em>The words were spoken so softly and quickly that they were barely intelligible.  But whoever was on the other end of the line seemed to understand her question.  And whatever the answer was, it seemed to satisfy her as her face once again relaxed.<em><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 8pt;"">""...good, good.  Tell him...""</span></em>Her voice faltered once again before it became firmer.<em><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 8pt;"">""Tell him I love him.  Got to go.  Bye.""</span></em>And with that, she hung up.  And then she made sure the phone was set to silent as she slowly extracted herself from beneath the table and back into her seat almost sheepishly.<br/><br/>Amazingly, she had managed to both follow along with what Dione Laprade had said while she had been having her phone conversation.  Of course, Glamorous wasn't convinced the Order was that stupid.  Why bring out such a valuable and vulnerable item?  And how would seeing some jewel beetle inspire the people of Ursa City?  It would have been a lot smarter if the Rubric Scarab being put on display were a fake and the effect would have been the same; the League still would come.<br/><br/>But all her doubts were kept privately to herself.  You didn't question the boss' plan; it wasn't very smart business sense.  Especially not after her little fiasco just  few moments ago.  One look at the Countess' face let Glamorous know that she'd have to be on her best evil behavior to stay in her good graces.  And Nicole definitely wanted that; the reward being offered for this mission was hefty.  So instead, a brief nod was given in agreement to the plan.  ""Sounds fabulous.""<br/><br/>Looking over to Milady de Winter, Nicole put on a winsome smile once more as she slid her chair over to the other woman without any regards to her personal space and leaned in conspiratorially as she tilted the Prada shades down the bridge of her nose.  ""So, what do you think?  Matching colors to the party?  I've got a stunning white dress from Marc Jacobs.""  A pause was given before she gave a thoughtful purse to her lips.  ""Or a little black number I just picked up from online at the Row.  I've been dying to wear that one.""  Her green eyes almost sparkled as she seemed more interested in discussing clothing coordination as opposed to how they would deal with the security guards.<br/><br/>Though that might have also spoken concerning the almost foolhardy confidence she had in their respective abilities."

I for one would be interested to see if we could use the artifact ourselves. My own abilities are supernatural, perhaps they could be enhanced.""<br/><br/>More specifcally, Milady de Winter wondered if the scarab could cure her of her need to feed on body heat. As discrete as she tried to be, she knew there was always a chance of discovery."

If the sensation was any stronger, she imagined that she might even get a little damp between the legs.

She had a very good point. The mystic arts were dangerous to tangle with haphazardly. The mixed blessing of her own alchemically bestowed abilities was a testament to that.  So she listened as the meeting continued. Much like the Countess, Milady de Winter found herself feeling somewhat aroused when the Incubus spoke, her cock starting to stir between her pale thighs. Perhaps that was why she was having such lustful thoughts toward Glamorous. Then again, it really didn't take much to stir a decadent soul like hers. In a way, she felt something of a kinsmanship with the Incubus. They were both ancient predators, seeking to feed.<br/><br/>Since she knew her role,  Milady de Winter rose from her seat.<br/><br/>""If you will pardon moi, I shall retire to my personal chamber. A lady must prepare in advance for such an event.""<br/><br/>With a smile to her colleagues, Milady de Winter walked away, making sure to put a little swing in her hips. Yes, she was a seducer but she didn't have a demonic voice to work her charms, she had to do it the good old-fashioned way. And after all these years, there were few who could do it well as Milady de Winter. She had brought countless men under her thumb. Of course, that spell was broken when they found out her secret but by that time the wishes of their tiny minds meant nothing to her.<br/><br/><em>I wonder if I will have the chance to prey on some pretty rich thing at the party before having to get to work,</em>she thought to herself as she made her way through the headquarters. Her private sanctuary reflected her past as French nobility and her fondness for the color white...<br/><br/>(http://blog.arcadianhomedecor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/8-jgb-interiors.jpg)<br/><br/>The furniture were antiques, just some of the pieces she had plundered over her long life. The ""windows"" were actually electronic screens that projected life-like scenes of wintery bliss. It was the perfect home away from home. Milady de Winter opened her closet, displaying a variety of outfits she wore as a ""super-villain"" as well as gowns and other more mundane attire. All of it was white, of course. She had to make sure she had her attire picked out before the weekend event. It would be humiliating to find out she didn't have a decent dress right before the mission was to go down.<br/><br/>Milady de Winter removed the clothes she was wearing and set them on her bed. She caught her reflection in a large antique mirror and had to stop to admire the image it contained. For centuries she had the body of a man even though she knew in her heart and soul she was a woman. Now, thanks to modern science and her accumulated wealth, she had made great strides in correcting that flaw of fate. It was a breathtaking blonde woman in the mirror, statuesque yet sensual. Her breasts were large and firm, not sagging but not looking like hard mounds either. They were exquisite works of art, with pink nipples pointing out. The implants had made her nipples very sensitive, something Milady de Winter found delightful. She lightly caressed them and the sensation not only made her nipples harden but the cock between her legs as well.<br/><br/>That was the one remainder of her original gender. Milady de Winter had chosen to keep her male genitals for now, at least until medical science had perfected the crafting of a vagina.  She simply could not give up the pleasure of orgasms. And her sadistic side loved seeing how her prey reacted to her cock, especially when it was bigger than theirs. It was a long and thick tool, unlike many of her kind Milady de Winter suffered no atrophying from the hormones she took. Perhaps it was a blessing from the uncanny substances that coursed through her body. Whatever the reason, Milady de Winter had no trouble thrusting into either a man or women and exploding inside them. In many cases it was the last thing they felt before their bodies went numb and their worlds went dark."

He watches as individual files float closer, expanding to display surveillance photos and footage. The first is a clanking monstrosity. It lifts up a car and hurls it at the now late Thunderfist. A burst of fire from one of its appendages ignites the gas tank in a massive fireball. Landon pulls down a sleek assault rifle (http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/0535421442131632.JPG?0.21950471915999092) and a clip of depleted uranium penetrator rounds.

The tide of energy ripples between them, dark and light surging against each other in an even match. A plain looking man rushes up behind Calypso, and her spell expands, overpowering Samedi, and blasting him into a wall. Crimson flowers of blood bloom on Calypso's chest as a hooded figure in suit and tie advances into the frame, firing at the retreating man. The image repeats, and Landon removes the reflex scope from the rifle, replacing it with a digital multi-zoom scope and tossing in a clip of high velocity rounds.<br/><br/>He removes a dark, polymer pistol  (http://www.nazarian.no/images/wep/332_vector_cp1.jpg)from the wall, and loads it with hollow point rounds as another man pivots closer.

An alternate feed shows the sniper, Kid Arrow, fire the shot and than somersault away from the returned exploding arrowhead. Landon watches this, and pulls down a pair of balisong.

The back of her dress is unclasped, and Landon notes her graceful musculature as she rises, letting the hem of her dress fall to the floor.<br/><br/>""End feed,"" he barks and opens a portal. She starts briefly before grabbing a small bag and stepping into Landon's quarters.<br/><br/>""You have the tickets?"" He asks, sliding on the new suit jacket.<br/><br/>""Yes, lend a hand?"" She turns and pulls her hair to the side. Landon zips the back of her dress up. The two are wearing Laprade Enterprises prototype nano-fiber weaves, heat resistant, corrosion proof, flexible, lightweight, and bulletproof. The stylish cuts of the material had been their idea. Sophia adjusts herself and takes the proffered tie out of Landon's hand.<br/><br/>""I don't know why you insist on wearing this skinny little thing every time we go out, Landon."" She says, looping the silky fabric through his collar.<br/><br/>""I don't know why you're wearing heels to a wet job,"" Landon replies, eyeing her elaborate footwear, ""You can put the .45 in the bag, they installed metal detectors at the museum."" Sophia tightens the knot in his tie, and pushes him away, striding over to the duffel bag.<br/><br/>""Landon Porter, I graduated West Point Magna Cum Laude, served in numerous operations at home and abroad, and am the best field agent in your dubious unit,"" she retrieves her weapon, and reaches into her dress to produce a stiletto (http://www.blade-empire.com/Knives/Switchblades/SOLD_OUT/Italian_Stiletto-11_inches-White_Pearl.jpg) with a pearl grip. She pivots haughtily and reaches into her bag, pulling out a pair of thin red shoes.<br/><br/>""I brought flats."" She drops all the items into the bag, and zips it up, flinging it at Landon. He catches it by the strap and slings it over his shoulder, tucking the hood into a pocket along with the gloves. He opens a drawer and pulls out a set of keys, tossing them to Sophia as a portal to a garage in Ursa City's center flicks open.

Having the shoe on the other foot wasn't very comfortable. Milady de Winter pushed her more carnal feeling aside as best she could and focused on the task at hand.

Her time for privacy and personal work. Officially, she was just a work-a-holic. The truth though, the truth was that her own projects were getting more and more personal. The medication was loosing it's effectiveness, have to make it stronger but in way that keeps her intelligence sharp. She didn't like going home anymore, the Red Room was there. The room she goes when she can't hold the Red inside anymore.<br/><br/>The other experiment was working well though. The free-masons were poisoning her food. Well, it could have been the Illuminati but the result was the same. Someone was trying to kill her, she knew it. The gene therapy was working though- the burning in her veins was incredibly painful but it should have killed her 5 times over this time.<br/><br/>Dr. Andrew Goode walks inside her lab. HER Lab. There was reason why the last two months were the   most prolific months the Hanover Group has ever had. Dr. Goode had a guest, someone Dr. Evans knew very well.<br/><br/>""<strong>As you see. . .Oh, I didn't expect anyone to still be here.</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>Could you leave my lab, Mr. Goode.</strong>"" Dr. Evans says pointedly.

A hand goes back into the workbench, finding a syringe.<br/><br/><em>Do it.</em> she hears from the Red Room. <em>Do it.</em><br/><br/>""<strong>Oh, I don't know about that,</strong>"" the guest remarks, ""<strong>I'm sure a woman like you can get something.</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>Freddy?</strong>"" Dr. Goode remarks with a snicker.<br/><br/>""<strong>What?

The scream is one of primal rage that's echoed from time immortal as she lunges for the two of them.<br/><br/>""<strong>CRAZY BITCH!</strong>"" Goode yells in surprise as the empty syringe breaks on the suit of his guest, who responds with a solid punch to her face, ""<strong>SECURITY!</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>YOU'RE DEAD! YOU'RE BOTH DEAD!</strong>"" she let's out as the Red flies in that lab. At some point she was restrained by 4 security guards, at some point she had to be pulled off of a man's neck, at some point she was told she'd never get a job again. The exact order of things was fuzzy to her and probably always would be.<br/><br/>Dumping out her medication down the sink in the Red Room definitely happened though. Dumping out anti-psychotic drugs with thoughts of poisons dancing in her brain.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">2 Months Ago</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/>She was ready. The gene therapy was done, the supplies were ready, the planning over, even the costume was all together. It showed a bot of skin admittedly, but the gene therapy and acclimation had made her immune to the vast majority of poisons- and the feeling with a chemical weapon is trying to burn through your skin, to arrest your life, to seep in through your pores as it tries to liquefy your insides- it was spiritual in it's own way. Dying was when she felt the most alive some days.<br/><br/>The gas-mask covers her face letting her blond hair hang low. The syringes were works of art, but nothing compared to the artistry that had gone into the fluids inside them. The boots, shorts, and top hid way more compartments then one would think they did and she had a jacket with more of them when she needed it.<br/><br/>Perfect.  Yes, if this world was a ""Good and Decent"" one then she would be the one to stick the needle in herself. The question only was who first?<br/><br/>Keith Thompson. The man had gall, she had to give him that. He had kept threatening the lawsuit, so he gave her a few months after her last job and sued her then. That's right Keith, how DARE she tell a courtroom that in her expert opinion he had been drugging and with some friends repeatedly raping his own daughter. That certainly was worth getting sued over.<br/><br/>She knocked on his front door barely holding in a laugh. The gasmask hiding her face, she only was worried when she saw how many cars were here. Another 'party'. He had his friends over. Tonight was another night for poor Elizabeth.<br/><br/>She knocks again, louder. A man answers with his shirt off, not Keith. Who? It didn't matter from the look of him, covered with a sheen of sweat and smelling of sex.<br/><br/>""<strong>What you want bitch, Halloween candy?</strong>""<br/><br/>The needle slips in quick like she practiced, right between two ribs. His own heart pumps the poison into his lungs, which fill with blood so fast he doesn't even have time to scream- but he'll take a while to convulse and die. Perfect. Stepping over him, Poison makes her rounds in that house.<br/><br/>The phone call the police got was anonymous, a muffled voice that sounded vaguely feminine. Three men, found very dead- their lungs full of blood, pus, and fluids not fit for description with a deadly poison still in their veins. And the only suspect they had was a teenage girl, who was still unconscious from the date-rape drugs in her system.<br/><br/>Some detectives didn't know whether to cringe in fear or cheer.<br/><br/>And Dr. Madelyn Evens was probably the most surprised of them all. Who knew murder could be so much fun?<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Today</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote from: URSA CITY INQUIRER</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">Police sources have released a statement, confirming rumors around Ursa City of the existence of a Serial Killer. Known only as Poison, a blonde woman wearing a gas mask is believed to be responsible for the poisoning deaths of somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 to 40 men. Exact figures are hard to pin down as Poison seems to use a wide variety of poisons in her murders.<br/><br/>Experts say that the expertise in handling deadly substances displayed by Poison may hint at a career in the medical fields but otherwise little is known about her. Criminal Psychologists say that due to the comparative rarity of a female serial killer constructing a profile of Poison will take more time. They do believe that the preferred victim profile of Poison, that of men who are on the sexual offenders registry for rape or men who have had charges of rape against them dropped, does strongly point toward a woman who has been a victim of rape herself. They are asking the general public for help.<br/><br/>Help that they seem unlikely to find. Anonymous sources report that while people are hesitant to support someone who shows all the signs of being a serial killer, public outcry for her arrest is much lower then one would expect for such a prolific murderess. The Police would like to point out that just because she's killing alleged rapists now doesn't mean that won't change in the future.</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>Poison snickered when she read that. They were right on one thing. Rapists now was just a bit of fun, a rule for the game to make things more interesting. A socially acceptable target for her to practice her craft on, if tomorrow she decides to start killing school children instead she'd do it in a heartbeat.<br/><br/>She did like something else she read though. Profilers thought she was a rape victim? Well, life and the world has shit on her in many ways- but that wasn't one of them. If it takes them that much longer to find her, she supported it. Refreshed from the diversion, Poison starts the night's hunting ritual.<br/><br/>That is until she sees the letter slipped under the door of her lair. Addressed to Dr. Madelyn Evans, MD, PhD. Opening it quickly she goes to read.<br/></div></div><br/>The way it had been written, it read like a job offer. That was what bothered Poison/Maddie the most. Here she was, finally living life free of the damn medications and the law and all that trash from society and she gets a damn job interview. Be at the back of the Laprade Tower? Follow the signs? Oh she'd be there alright.<br/><br/>Poison came armed to the metaphorical teeth. Her costume wasn't nearly as glamorous, pretty, or cute as the costumes of the other women. Gasmask, a top that looked like wrapped bandages to show off her tattoo work, shorts, and boots- all modified to carry various supplies and weapons. And this time she added things too, bandoleers and belts of syringes and gas grenades with various chemicals brewing inside. Two hand-gun sized gas grenade launchers strapped to her back, and her lucky ornate syringe with golden designs in her right hand. The gas-masked villainess decided to take the long way down, the service stairs. She goes for stealth and cunning as she descends deeper into the dank and dark of the building. No shining and swift elevators, just concrete stairs and empty stair wells.<br/><br/>More then a few times she swears she hears guards or something moving ahead- but it keeps coming up nothing.<br/><br/>Finally, reaching the bottom of the steps later then it said to on the card, Poison kicks the most secure looking door she finds. More to get attention from the other side then anything. Syringe in one hand and one of the small grenade launchers in the other she tries to be prepared for anything.<br/><br/>Paranoia tells her to turn back, but when the CEO of Laprade Industries asks for an audience you pay attention. Even Dr. Madelyn Evans knew that."

The Countess . . well . . she'd never dream of bothering such a busy woman about this sort of thing, or she'd have asked while she was still here! Incubus was apparently a really stylish guy, and looked like the super popular type, so she could theoretically ask him too . . .<br/><br/>After more rummaging she was decked out in a pretty tame heart print top, slightly baggy Levis, a pair of sandals, and her trademark awesome hat. Fingering her little ID card that would let her get around outside of her room, she thought long and hard . . before deciding just to leave and pick a random direction towards where the other members had rooms. She'd ask Glamorous or Winter . . . yeah, that'd do it! In fact, since Milady de Winter's room was closer, that'd be her first destination!

if they had met in any other setting, she would have been already hauling off the masked woman for an extreme make-over.  There were few things in life a good manicure, pedicure, full salon treatment, and La Mer face cream couldn't cure in any girl.<br/><br/>A large part of her wanted to sass back sarcastically as the eerie woman spoke, her voice sounding hollow from beneath the gasmask.  Even moreso when she got a good look at the thin arms of the other woman and knew that if she got in close that it would be a simple matter to subdue her and reverse their situations.  Except for the odd-looking gun, which she realized contained some type of tranquilizer or some such, and the bizarre appearance, Nicole was hardly frightened.  Compared to what had almost happened almost two years ago, this was nothing.  Nothing like having a two hundred-some pound man straddle you while you screamed your throat raw, your heart pounding so loudly from fear that you barely could breathe, hoping that somebody, anybody would hear and care enough to help.  While you felt the fabric of your shirt tearing as he gripped it and ripped upward.  As he...<br/><br/>She immediately clamped down on those thoughts; they were not helping matters any.  ""Well, if I do get a choice, I think a hostage sounds much more reasonable.  I like to be conscious and I'm sure you don't want to go to the effort of either hauling me around by the ends of my ankles or finding some rope or something to tie me down.""  Her voice still was a touch tart as Glamorous slowly came back to her feet, picking up her Prada shades which had fallen to the ground in her ungainly tumble.  While she was doing so, she subtly gauged the distance between them...and realize the woman was smart.  Damned smart.  The distance was literally perfect--too far to rush, yet close enough that she didn't have any sort of cover to hide behind.  Nothing to duck around or beneath and her suspicions were confirmed when she took a small, mincing half-step forward and the other woman instantaneously readjusted their distance once more.  And she grudgingly raised her respect; apparently, being a psychotic scientist didn't mean you weren't observant.<br/><br/>Of course, she could always attempt a ground stomp and use her super-strength to force a mini-quake to unbalance the other woman, but it didn't seem worth the risk.  It'd be an option to save if push came to shove in the next few minutes.<br/><br/>""Though I do need my bag.  I am<em><strong>not</strong></em>leaving it behind.""  She added, her voice was adamant.  ""And you'll have to tell me where to go because I have absolutely no clue where I am.""  A slightly sly look come on those innocent features.  ""Unless of course you want to lead the way, but somehow I doubt you're that trusting.""<br/><br/>Deciding on a small gamble, Nicole boldly strode over to where she had flung her Neverfull and picked up it up before mournfully examining the contents to determine the extent of the damage.  Perhaps ironically but she seemed to ignore the wall and the crater where the bag had struck.  Upon closer inspection, the crater was the size of a SUV wheel with several inches of indentation.  And the thought became even more mind-boggling when one realized that it was the equivalent of another woman tossing her bag a few feet and that Nicole hadn't even been trying to throw it very hard.  Fortunately, Loius Vuittons were made to withstand abuse of every sort so it was still in pristine condition.  A shattered compact was the singular victim, which normally wouldn't be too devastating.  Except it and the contents for lipstick, eyeshadow, and mascara had been half of her paycheck for the month.  Though on the bright side, Glamorous did have three or four backups back at her condo; she simply needed to get back and pick another one out.  And then go shopping to replace the broken one.<br/><br/>After taking another minute or two to make sure everything was in order, she slung it back over her shoulder and pulled out her iPhone before irritatedly glancing at the lack of reception.  Somehow, it was still intact as well testifying of the craftsmanship that had gone into it.  That and the hard-shelled case that Nicole had bought for it, being almost as expensive as the phone.  After all, it did have the Juicy Couture boldly etched onto the case as well as a promise to withstand a twenty-story window fall.  ""Okay, let's go and get out of here.  I want a place where I can get signal again; I need to make a few calls after this is over."""

I still can't believe you're gone.""  But he could believe it.  The Golden Lion lived valiantly.  It was only just that he would die valiantly, too.  Before the images began spilling their secrets, an incoming call alert sounded within his helm.  The number and its registered owner streamed across his heads-up display.<br/><br/>""Answer,"" he said.  In a more subdued voice,  ""Hey, what's up?""  It was that mischievous git Sam Lassiter, eternal enemy of the secret superhero identity and former roommate.  Though Michael and Sam weren't very alike (and let's face it, Michael was pretty different from nearly every other young man his age), there was very little Michael disliked about him.  If Sam learned how to take a hint and committed to doing his share of the dishes, he would've been perfect.<br/><br/>""Hey, Mi-keeey!  Big party tonight.  Brickhead's throwin' it.  You comin'?""<br/><br/>""I wish I could, but I've got a huge exam on Monday.  Besides, I don't think Derek likes me very much.""<br/><br/>""You gotta go, Mike!  If you don't, I won't know anyone there!""<br/><br/>""...  Look, I'll try to move a few things around, but no promises, all right?  I gotta go.""<br/><br/>""Fine-- but don't dick out on me!  You owe me.""<br/><br/>Michael did owe Sam.  He hadn't been a good friend.  In fact, Michael had a hard time imagining a friend being any worse than he had been in the last couple of months.  But he wasn't going to go.  His shift was up.  Imagining Sam waiting for his call saddened Michael, because Sam could be startlingly pathetic despite his intelligence.  Michael stepped into the situation room, approached the steel tabernacle, collapsed into his designated chair and, without greeting Thunderclap, said:   ""How do you deal with the stress, T.C.?  I'm striking out everywhere.  Lying to my friends is emotionally exhausting."""

I burn a lot of it at work, or after work...as the case might be,"" he said with a smile. Thunderclap's costume only really revealed his jawline and thick, wavy brown hair as far as facial features went--although, someone with really good eyesight could make out his eyes behind the mask if they wanted--but the rest was fairly standard issue skintight, somewhat bulletproof and resistant to impacts or slashes, and showed off a decent build for someone who wasn't really trying to be an athlete.<br/><br/>""What's wrong? Has something happened?"" he asked Kid Arrow. He was still getting to know most of the current roster of heroes in the Order of Valor, and didn't know how far he could go before empathizing became prying or violating security protocols or something."

He knew they needed more structure, though.

No doubt if anyone was there then he would most likely find his fellow Order members there talking of this or that, that happened on their planet. He snorted at the thought. He didn't quite understand why it was that the humans were split and fighting each others where his race, the Quinar, fought together as one whole to keep their planet and themselves safe. In fighting only caused trouble and opportunities for other alien races to take advantage of them, they learned the hard way, and so payed the price of that knowledge and soon starting fighting under one banner.<br/><br/>His metallic footfalls soon sounded in the Situation room as he stepped in and saw two of them now and could only tell them apart thanks, in part of their costumes as to him they all appeared the same with only minor variations. ""Greetings,"" he said, his alien tongue forming the human words with a little difficulty, but was improving slowly over time, ""What has happened that requires destruction?"" he inquired while approaching Kid Arrow and Thunderclap. Destroying was the one thing he was good at, being the equivalent of a wreaking crew of the humans. Back on his home planet he was part of what the humans would called a Saboteur unit, destroying things in a large explosion, but by coming here he had forsworn to bring any of his people's tech in weapons."

Her hands actually move up, the bared palms a slightly lighter brown than the skin on the back of her hands, and the long arms that they are connected to looks worn with several callouses and scars noticeable from a distance. Two of her long, slightly bony-looking fingers on each hand make air quotes with the word 'leader'.<br/><br/>""Does anyone have the itinerary, or any sort of situation report on our readiness? And where is everyone else?"" She begins to ask those already present. ""And seeing as we really should get everything in order...""

Thunderclap then hurried through the door across the room from the entranceway and began throwing something together out of any unmarked, unreserved leftovers in the Rec Room kitchen.<em>I wonder if the tech team who developed the satellite could come up with a food replicator like the Federation has?

He moved quickly and, between serving stuff chilled and the microwave, could not have been gone more than five minutes before rolling a serving tray back into the Situation Room and parking it like a sideboard by the wall nearest to the door to the Rec Room.<br/><br/>""Dinner, as such, is ready whenever anyone else is."" Newell slipped a few slices of pizza onto a plate with some Oriental fingerfood items--eggrolls? lumpia?--and eased himself into his chair at the conference table."

He was never late, he always arrived precisely when he wished to, which was invariably whenever he got around to showing up. A cursory glance swept over the assembled heroes, a title he did not aspire to himself. Despite the wealth of data that he calmly filed away, he labelled the others quite simply in his mind. There was the destructive iron hulk, the one who appeared to be a homosexual in a cape, the disheveled looking man who looked badly hungover, the other one who appeared to be a homosexual in a cape, and then there were the rather lovely women, who easily merited second, third, and fourth glances while he took his seat. Unlike his comrades, he was dressed in a manner that was only ostentatious because the world had precious little appreciation for good taste anymore.<br/><br/>He wore a flawlessly tailored three piece charcoal grey suit, a crisply pressed black silk shirt, and soft black leather shoes polished to a shine. Platinum cufflinks studded with small rubies were the sole splash of colour to the outfit, but he was in a somber mood and thought to display it a little. Despite his sharply dressed appearance, he was a few shaves and haircuts off of being a complete neat freak, and brought a long fingered hand up to rub at his stubbled cheeks while he tried to ignore the vile smell of greasy food that assaulted him. Compared to the American approach to cuisine, even the British could have considered themselves luminaries of the epicurean world.<br/><br/>""The nature of the device is suitably vague, but it serves as a source of magical power. To this end, it is our duty to secure it lest it fall into the wrong hands."" He did not bother to soften his native accent, having long ago learned to take advantage of the decades of bad films that had indoctrinated the Western world into believing that an awful lot of Russians were deviously clever and ruthless, at least when Clint Eastwood wasn't shooting at them. ""I propose that we counter the inevitable plans of our enemies, and forestall all future threats, by stealing the Scarab before they can. Ideally, we shall wish to place a suitable forgery in its place, but I am not adverse to a more blatant acquisition if it is required."""

Her lips pull into a frown as she turns her gaze then towards the rather greasy confection that sat in front of her, a 'quick' meal it was, and one that was quite unhealthy as well. A metallic fork rests between two of her long, chocolate-brown fingers as she seems to be nonchalantly bending the metal object back and forth as if it were made of rubber rather than steel.<br/><br/>A single hand is raised as the woman with long blonde hair begins to apologize for her late arrival. ""It is fine, do not worry so much we are still trying to get this meeting situated anyway."" She offers.<br/><br/>Quieting she turns to focus her attention towards the man speaking. A rough, low, and pronounced accented voice. She had -no- idea who he even was, though he did propose a rather unique solution. ""Replacing it would be preferable, well before it goes on display. Do you have any idea where a convincing forgery could even be -found- in the short amount of time we have?"""

The young man aggravated him to quite a degree such as he found astounding, but he recovered, showing little trace of his emotions while he ignored the lecture that followed. Without any sorcerors or shamans present, there was precious little use for them in securing the item, and he had long ago decided that demons and monsters were simply a new type of opponent to overcome, having precious little superstition to slow him in his analysis. ""While, no doubt, the sound and vision aspect of this lecture is most fascinating, the mission remainds quite the same."" With a soft sigh, he produced a slim silver cigarette case from the inner pocket of his jacket, flipping it open to reveal a collection of neatly handrolled cigarettes, one of which he plucked free before setting it down. It would have been polite to offer a smoke to his companions, but they didn't seem the sort to enjoy it. The end of the cigarette burnt to a cherry red light as he brought it to his lips.<br/><br/>Taking in a deep smoke, and exhaling it calmly, he let his fingertips dance in the air, gathering trace metals from all abouts to construct what was a precisely perfect copy of the Scarab, albeit without the arcane components that existed beyond his psychokinetic abilities. ""Ekaterina, my love, show them the schematics."" He had decided, given his innate intimacy with the computer that controlled the station, to give it a name, and as he sent the gentle electronic impulses through his mind, the computer obliged by providing a holographic image, etched in light, of the original scarab and the layout of the museum. ""As the boy has said, the need to protect this item is of utmost imperative. Unless any one of you has a concealed sorcerous talent, let us muse instead on the task of acquiring it."""

There had been a time, back before he'd dropped out of college to go on that first road tour, when he had been dating a girl with such abilities and she had seemed to think that almost anyone could learn it. ""It's like anything else, Newell,"" she had said. ""Sure you have prodigies and people born with above the norm Gifts and Talents in the Arts, but with the right mindset and enough practice, casting spells is open to the universe.""<br/><br/>She had been fun and a good time in bed, but the materialism of his then burgeoning career combined with the long hours of seperation and made for a doomed relationship. He had, however, learned how to change whatever he was wearing into something else. It was handy both as a superhero and professionally. No one knew exactly how he managed some of those quickchanges on stage. Thinking about Sheila, however, made him think that they definitely needed to protect the Scarab. Whether by decoy, standing guard, or merely keeping watch from a subtle distance, he wasn't sure; just that something needed to be done to keep it out of the League's hands.<br/><br/>Or from under their destructive powers.<br/><br/>""I agree,"" Thunderclap said. ""I'm kind of surprised something like this hasn't been done before now. Don't museums and galleries sometimes set out decoys of pieces they fear their security isn't up for protecting from theft or vandalism?"""

I have played anima once.. and thats a percentile system. there its simple.. roll a d100.. and relative attribute bonus.. a roll of 90 or better gets you an open roll where you roll again.. a roll of 91 or better gets you another one... and you keep going.. the open roll target increasing by 1 each roll.. and you add them all together.<br/><br/><br/>edit: If were gonna stick by the fate system, then as Phantom points out a who goes first rule should be implemented.

Or will they make an example of them so everyone knows that nobody double-crosses the League and walks away?  Nobody.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Corporate Evil</strong>: A storyline with Low Consequences.  And it could be focused on Laprade Enterprises doing some marketing ploy in Ursa City and developing a recognizable brand and image.  Its main goal would be to get the general public more used to seeing Laprade's name around and creating good will.  The product could be something silly--like free cookies ala Girl Scouts, which possess a minor addicting effect.  Nothing too major, but designed to bring in more revenue and turn them into almost like a Coke or McDonalds brand for Ursa City which would make things harder for the Order when trying to expose the League's evil.  Or perhaps Laprade will sponsor more 'green' techs like a recycling program or water conversation with an aim at getting into more heavily guarded facilities and do information collecting for later surgical strikes.  After all, no one cares about the janitorial staff or engineers that install the solar panels and whatnot.  The Order's goal would be to uncover those plots and in return Laprade would come under a bit of media fire/loss of revenue, but once again, nothing too major.<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>Also, on a completely separate note, I was wondering if there would be a little more clarification on how battles will be run.  I'm largely under the impression that the attributes serve more as 'guidelines' than really hard and fast rules for how combat will be handled and things will still largely come under freeform style.<br/><br/>For example, I mentioned above with a confrontation between Kid Arrow and Glamorous.  On paper, it looks like Glamorous should have no problems in handling Kid Arrow.  8 Strength versus 4 Agility in combat.  But I would figure since it's mentioned in Kid Arrow's sheet that he has lethal and non-lethal ordinance, he might use round 1 to attack Glamorous, but instead of taking 1 point towards the 5 point victory, he might use like a sticky arrow or glue arrow, to attempt to give her a 'Restrained' status, which would translate into a -4 penalty.  Suddenly, 4 versus 4 in attributes has evened the fight dramatically.  Of course, Glamorous can take a round to break out of the sticky trap using her Strength to contest it, but it also means that she won't progress towards the victory point.<br/><br/>Or for Glamorous, she might take a round to use her Strength to pull free a large steel beam to use as a bludgeoning object.  This might give her a +2 situational bonus in subsequent rolls.  So the idea is essentially creating your own situational modifier in lieu of gaining a victory point.  But I'm not sure if this would work or not.<br/><br/>I am also curious to see how we are handling knockout blows or flee options, or if those are no longer on the table in this case."

I'd thought I would throw them out on the table and see what everyone else thinks.  It might spice up the battle system from the current, ""You attack, I defend"" theme, repeat, though it also might be too complicated to implement.<br/><br/>For Arcs, I think in addition to the get 5 ""Victory"" Points condition for a one-on-one battle, there are a few other scenarios that should be considered if applicable.<br/><br/><strong>Time:</strong>Most scenes, when we actually get to combat should have an inherent time penalty built in.  Like for example, in the current Story--Grand Theft Sorcery, the time penalty would be on the League's side.  In other words, there should be some limit defined beforehand where the League has before too many cops, CIA, FBI, and whatnot show up that it makes completing the mission impossible.  We could rotate this time penalty around on different Story Arcs, so it would be on the Order for one Story and the League for another to keep things interesting.<br/><br/>Once again, using Grand Theft Sorcery as an example,  I think the League's time limit should be a total of 10 rounds.  A round is defined after all the members of both the League and the Order have gone.  So after ten rounds, the League is foiled in their attempt and loses the current Story Arc.<br/><br/>If this is implemented, then we can add these other options in battle...<br/><br/><strong>Delaying/Full Defensive:</strong>The League or Order member can chose to forego their Attack post.  Instead, they gain either a +2 or +3 bonus (haven't decided if +3 is overpowered for this bonus) to their corresponding defending attribute.  The usefulness of this only works in light of the Time victory condition.  But that way, an over-matched character can still win as a ""Team"" by preventing the other side from reaching their objective and tying up one of the characters.<br/><br/><strong>Speed/Initiative:</strong>I think one major reward for those who win the Initiative roll (Assuming there are no surprise rounds) is the ability to choose your opponent for the match.  So that way, you can choose a favorable match-up.  For example, Milady de Winter can choose to fight against Cannonball since it's a good match-up for her as he is weak to cold and she has managed to get Initiative before him.  Or Star Flash might choose to fight Milady de Winter since she manages to get one of the highest Initiatives and chooses her as an opponent so Milady de Winter is 'engaged' and cannot chose Cannoball.  (This might require a bit of balance since a clever meta-gamer might be the opponent with the highest Initiative on the other side, skipping them, and letting his side being able to pick again.  Example: Star Flash: Initiative: 6, Milady de Winter: 3, Cannonball: 2, The Countess: 0, Glamorous: -1.  Star Flash could pick Milady de Winter, engaging her character and so Milady doesn't get Initiative.  So that means Cannonball gets then his choice of either Glamorous or the Countess.  Once again, this might be cool or it might be very cheesy feeling.)<br/><br/><strong>Switching:</strong>This gives the option to a character to switch his one-on-one battle to another.  It is a way to mitigate the above mentioned advantage of a Speed character.   But it allows his opponent a free attack on them as they depart, potentially earning a free Victory point.  Then, they can choose to double-team a single character, (Add +2 or +3 (dunno what is balanced) to the supporting person's attack or they can swap one-for-one.)  Using the mentioned example above, Milady de Winter can Swap with Glamorous who is fighting Cannonball.  Star Flash gets her free Attack and then Milady can either use to add a +2 or +3 to Glamorous' attack for a whopping +10 or +11 bonus or they can swap so Glamorous is now facing off against Star Flash and Milady faces off against Cannonball.  However, Star Flash can choose to use Swap as well the next round and stop the double-team or join Cannonball and supplement his roll.<br/><br/><strong>Mooks/Home Court Advantage</strong>:  This allows the defending side a number of free Delays like 5.  Any member of the defending side can use them.  These represents the police, the minions in the villian's base, whatever and force a character to use 1 round to take care of them.  While they can't add to the Victory Point condition, they can waste an opposing person's round and add to the ticking clock of Time Victory.<br/><br/>Later today, I'm going to also add a few NPCs in the OOC thread that you may have noticed making their way into my posts (Mary-Ann, Derek, etc...).  I am offering them off for potential plot hooks we can use later to make the stories seem more involved and would like to see how other writers feel on how they might be used.  I also feel like anyone else should feel free to do the same.  For example, Mary-Ann might be on scene when the League attacks.  How will Nicole handle this fact?  Maybe it would inflict a -1 to all her rolls on FUDGE because she's worried for her friend and distracted during the battle.<br/><br/>Of course, all this is merely conjecture and NileGoddess has the right to veto any of it.  I just wanted to get it out there and see if it would work well with what we were planning."

The case you mentioned for the current arc is perfect, and we could go so far as to say that if The League fails in destroying it or stealing it this one time, the scarab will be moved out of their reach forever. Hence, the time factor.<br/><br/>Conversely, say we were to be playing A Few Girls on the Side. The Order would be given some type of time penalty to recover the kidnapped women, before The League has time to sell them into slavery, kill them, or do other horrible things lest their demands be met. It'll be something I will think about.<br/><br/>As far as the strengths of the bonus, Lord Drake helped me out with some probability stuff, and using the Fate system, a +1 bonus can be very potent, so we should be careful on adding too-high bonuses.<br/><br/>Lastly, swordwind has joined as another member of The League.

Which is why I came up with the Home Court Advantage.<br/><br/>Perhaps we can call the time factor a Victory/Defeat condition?  And I was wondering if we should tie the Stakes: Low, Medium, and High to it.  For example, the League is the aggressor here and the penalty is for the Order.  Since the consequences are Medium for the Order should they lose, that is why I gave a 10 round time limit.  It allows ten actions for each League/Order member.  A Low Stakes game would have a larger time limit?  Or perhaps we can have an array of options and the Order can pick their advantages.<br/><br/>For example,  the time the League gets can either be 7 rounds, 10 rounds, or 14 rounds to get the scarab and get away.  If the Order pick the first option: 7 rounds, that's all get.  But if they want more options, they can take the 10 rounds or 13 rounds, and also get something like +1 to all Primary Defensive Attributes for this Arc (we can chalk that up to the Order knowing that the League is coming and being well-prepared) or perhaps they can get 3 uses of Mooks (the cops, whatnot, used to waste a single League member's round) if they pick the 10 round option.  Or maybe 7 uses of Mooks if they pick the 14 round option?<br/><br/>Also, if you don't mind letting us know the probability breakdown of the FATE system, that might be helpful for determining bonuses on actions if we wanted to use what I listed above.  I'd also like to bring forth two more ideas.<br/><br/>Basically in a one-on-one scenario, when one Order/League member gets five victory points, it basically translates into them taking out the opposing member of the Order/League.  Whether through incapacitating them or some other way (i.e. trapping them in some way) This would make the Swap rule I wanted to introduce snowball since whichever side loses their first character would have a very hard time and probably lose the battle.<br/><br/><strong>Recovery:</strong>This meant to address this scenario.  So it means a member of the Order/League, they can choose this instead of their Attack.  In doing so, they restore half of the Victory Points (rounded-down) to one of their allies who was taken out of combat.  So normally, two Victory Points would be given to a character, which puts them back into the fight (whether through reviving them or assisting them in some way so they can once again enter into the fray.)<br/><br/><strong>Attack Bonus:</strong>I also mentioned this one earlier, but I liked the idea of also an Order/League member using a turn doing nothing and then attacking the next turn with some type of plus bonus.  It is a way to trade time for the opportunity to land a hit using the FATE system.<br/><br/>I also feel like it might be nice to give characters with greater Endurance Scores, more Victory points representing how much harder they can take a hit.  Like maybe 1 extra point for every 3 Endurance (round-down)  I may be biased...   ;)  But I think that might be fair since Speed would play a major role in determining Initiative and going first is immensely powerful.  Though that also means we should come up for something for Intelligence or Perception for those types...<br/><br/>And a further note just for Glamorous, since her weakness is her klutziness, I would like to translate into some penalty when she has to go against Speed characters.  My initial concept had her being more than able to go toe-to-toe with bruisers, but having trouble with dealing with pesky, agile types who hit and run."

First, I would like him to be in full control of his amplification ability, with complete discretion as to whom his power benefits. To balance this, I would alter the ability to only benefit one (or maybe two with reduced efficiency) other hero at a time.<br/><br/>Second, I would like to outfit him with some gadgets provided by the Order: a personal force-shield for defense and an advanced energy weapon of some kind will make him considerably more useful, although his proficiency with these would obviously be limited.<br/><br/>It would be nice if I could invent an NPC gadgeteer to create these for Catalyst; I envision an older engineer-type who pretty much never leaves the HQ, along the lines of M from the James Bond series.<br/><br/>Is this problematic for anyone, League or Order?

For the Rubric Scarab Arc, would it also be advisable have certain rooms as critical?  I don't want to give away any of the planning that was done but I am guessing that the members of the League and the Order will be dispersed in various rooms.  Perhaps it would also be good to say where security is stationed?  Or since they are mooks we can just use them as flavor text.  And also, if we are going to use the time mechanic for the Victory or Defeat condition, we could have the League have an ""exit"" room or two so the members need to be there or get left behind. That way Door's power can be roleplayed without being overpowered.<br/><br/>4.  Is it necessary to begin defining our powers more?  Using Door as an example again, his power of teleportation could translate into being able to take a round and instantaneously moving to any room on the board.  Or Kid Arrow might possess a ranged attack meaning he can attack people a room over or something like that.  Of course, modifications would need GM approval and players open to adjusting as needed if something is found to be mechanically too powerful.  Or once again,  it might be out of the scope of the game.<br/><br/>But I would be willing to play test out said ideas with someone OOC via PM before they are introduced if there is any interest and NileGoddess and the future co-GM want me to.  The same with actually coming up with concrete powers, weaknesses, and maneuver mechanics that I mentioned earlier in the OOC.  That way we can introduce something that has already been playtested without breaking the game."

If she wants to make them then go ahead, but I don't think we'll actually need them until some action happens there.<br/><br/>2.) I personally don't think it's necessary, but suggest something like round length is 3 seconds and characters can move [1 + (Speed/2)] rounded down squares. The speed stat also covers initiative so players with odd Speed stats still get an advantage over players with even Speed stats.<br/><br/>4.) That may be a good idea to do for our characters, put them in more defined terms. Things like 'Poison can create Poison AoE effects to represent poison gases, effect varies by poison but saves are based on Endurance vs her Intelligence. Size of the cloud is usually a circle her intelligence stat in squares in diameter but can be shrunken or expanded by RP reasons. Poison's damage is determined from her Intelligence instead of her Strength or Agility if a poison is used in the attack.

I mentioned to Lagoon that Hyde's mysterious illness would work well for an idea I had.  Essentially, Nicole only has her father.  Her mother died from a strange, wasting illness a year prior to Nicole's entry into university.  And recently, her father also has been showing strange symptoms.  To support treatment for him, Nicole is paying through the nose.  Hard to do when she also has terrible money management skills.  That was the nature of the mysterious phone call at the League conference table.<br/><br/>3. I mentioned to TheVillain that it would be fun to have Poison and Glamorous interact because of how different they are.  And an easy way to do it would be to have Glamorous get lost on her way out of Laprade Enterprises since she was busy texting and not watching where she was going.  Easy to make a wrong turn.<br/><br/>4.  I imagine Glamorous as a Rocksteady or Bebop from TMNT.  Where the general audience wonders, 'Why does Shredder keep them around?'  And then being like 'Oh, that's why he puts up with them' when they actually proceed to beat the TMNT into a pulp in the actual fight.<br/><br/>5. Glamorous is an average girl trying to be a villain for the sake of money.  She is unblooded and while she can justify robbing banks and even breaking a few bones, fighting off superheroes, she will have major qualms about cold-blooded murder.  Either by her own hands or someone else doing it.  This aspect will be a Event Moral Horizon when it comes, and I am not sure how she might react or change as a character.<br/><br/>And as an aside, I look forward to getting Internet in my house so I can stop using my smartphone.  It is too addicting!  That and typing takes forever."

I was picturing an arch-enemy for the Incubus that actually fits in with Phantom's idea pretty well.<br/><br/>Basic Idea - Tyr, of the Aesir. Son of Odin, Soldier of Asgard. The maimed god was once the Viking God of War, Justice, Soldiers, and ""the Hanged"". Hanged meaning not criminals in this case but those ""Hanged"" by fate, those who were made by fate to live lives worse then they deserved. Tyr isn't nearly as powerful as he was in the old days, now a days he's on par with a powerful meta-human, but the 'blue-collar' god still throws his lot in with humanity. Mystically, that has always been Tyr's way. He never really fit in with the other gods, he always sided among men- and even then not powerful men but the grunts who fight and die for wars started by powerful men so that they can get fat on blood and suffering. Tyr is not a god of clouds but of the trenches.<br/><br/>And as far as mystic entities go, the Incubus and Tyr could not be more different- or rub each other wrong more. The Incubus is handsome and if he gets scars they tend to be sexy ones, Tyr lost his left hand in a battle and replaced it with a crude magical metal replacement. The Incubus prefers magic and manipulation, Tyr is a soldier who prefers to get his hands dirty along side the poorest dregs of humanity. Incubus is accustomed to refinery, Tyr would rather live in a spartan studio apartment or even a communal barracks among his fellow soldiers. The Incubus gleefully uses his magic to force others to sleep with him, Tyr only shares his bed with those he truly loves and he still mourns the loss of his wife Zisa of long ago- a goddess of some small coastal city nobody remembers who wasn't even a great beauty according to legend.<br/><br/>Incubus is the cruel seducer who rips out hearts for laughs, Tyr is the man who answers injustice with a mighty leap forward with his mighty spear ready to avenge and defend."

If his powers are tied to his Intelligence, he can easily go to war on the Leage and give them quite a hard time. On the other hand, if his powers are tied to his Strength, then he's got psychic abilities that would be hard pressed to let him hurl a bicycle with his mind.<br/><br/>I don't mind either way, but it does make it even harder to be fair when even I don't know what my character is capable of.<br/><br/>I suppose the only thing I could say is to use the attribute system as a guideline, keep the dice rolls as a random factor, but ultimately rely on common sense and maturity, which I'm sure the players all have.

I plan to stick it out myself as I made a commitment, but when it goes a week without a post in the Order thread I admit I do kind of see the thread tumbling down my list of bookmarks.<br/><br/>I don't know -what- to do really, or if it's recoverable without making the game 'one-factioned'. As for multi-charactering... I don't like it because of the 'conflict of interest' that you spoke about Nile. And if everyone is mult-charactering just to keep sides even... How is that so much different form an one-sided game with NPC opposition? Besides more fleshed out NPCs?"

my case, I have a character concept in the wings for the Order that I'd be more than willing to test out.  And while I do enjoy writing Glamorous, I am more than willing to switch it up.  I do know that it is preferable not to do this and stick with our original side, but I feel like the game may die unless we take such a course of action.  There is already a large precedence set with Order members exiting the game.  Even moreso, the fact that the first ones to exit were supposed to be the 'Leader' of the Order.  Though I do agree the problem arises from more than merely the 'system' of the game.  I think there was sufficient interest with the League and we managed to mesh/make character relationships right off the bat.  Like we played off one another very quickly in our posts which of course makes a game much more exciting.  Reacted to each other's characters and interacted.<br/><br/>I also do think that the problem was exacerbated by the lack of a leader on the Order's side before Nykteus stepped in.  It made everyone feel unsure of what to do or how to proceed with their posting.  At least that's what I gathered.  And of course, for slower posters, it would feel awkward to post when everyone else had already gone several rounds of posting.   Once again, just my impression.<br/><br/>And that's why my hope would be to address in making the Battle for Ursa City into a more tactical RPG game.  We wouldn't need super elaborate rules to avoid getting bogged down in mechanics, but something more concrete would be helpful.  And would hopefully help create character relationships/maps to one another by nailing down more of a system to the game.  And given us a reason for our Roles that we initially put in our character sheets.<br/><br/>So I'll just toss out a few more ideas and revisit some that I talked about earlier:<br/><br/>1) It seems as if several people like the idea of having Attacks target certain Attributes.  That way, things can be more of a Rock-Paper-Scissors type of match-up and not merely a Primary Attribute versus Primary Attribute set-up.  And it'd emphasize the need for match-ups more and create team combos and even rivalries between Order and League members.<br/><br/>So for example, Glamorous' Attack would use Strength.  And people would need to defend with either Endurance (Absorbing the blow) or Agility (Dodging the blow).  Admittedly, this might give cerebral characters too large of an advantage since I'm not sure what to have Intelligence defend against.  Perhaps you as a player would set the other persons' defending attribute?   So Glamorous' Attack (Strength) would need to be defended by someone's Agility.  Or Endurance.  I'd pick one or the other.  Now my character has a very defined role.  She's strong against those who have low Agility.  But bad against those with high Agility.  And if everyone does this, then we can begin to concentrate on playing together as a team because everyone has a strength and everyone has a weakness.   And we need cooperation as a team and obviously whichever side gets the best match-ups for the fight will have a large advantage.<br/><br/>2) Have the Attributes mean something realistic to the Attribute.  So having a higher Endurance score should translate into being able to absorb more  ""hits"" or ""victory points"" until a character is rendered out of combat.  Or other things.  Like the determination of a 'Surprise' round would be a Speed versus Perception roll.<br/><br/>3) Have actual rewards and penalties to each Story Arc defined and explained.  So perhaps if the League wins, the Order suffers some form of penalty on rolls in the next Arc.  Or perhaps in the Order wins, they gain an additional use of 'Mooks' or the Combat Meta-human that PhantomPistoleer had listed earlier in the OOC.  Keeping in line with 'hurting the good side' and the 'hope' theme that was presented on why even the Order was displaying the Rubric Scarab.<br/><br/>4)  Have the general information thread mean something.  I think it would have been neat and tactical to get everyone to picks rooms where they start.  Like Glamorous in room 7.  It'd make planning sessions with Order and League more convoluted and critical in getting the right match-up that I mentioned earlier.  Or figuring how a way to get to the room where your favorable match-up is.  And dodge/escape your unfavorable one.<br/><br/>5) The Maneuvers I mentioned earlier in OOC.  It'd be fun to include at least a few of them to add more depth to what could be done tactically as a team.  Which once again would let everyone feel as if they had a role to fulfill and something they were good at.  Even if they didn't have the most optimized character sheet (i.e. munchkin-ed).<br/><br/>6) Have Powers and Weaknesses mean something beyond flavor text.  So using Glamorous as an example, I would want her to gain a bonus when fighting characters who have Strength (Her super-human strength).  Or be even more resilient to damage (Her meta-human endurance).  But be clumsy.  (Penalty for fighting Speed or Agility characters.)  Have expensive habits -- this is flavor text so far and I'd probably allude to her habit of multi-tasking (Penalty to Perception).<br/><br/>Anyways, I'd be more than willing to play-test any of these OOC  with another person OOC before introducing them so we could make sure that they wouldn't be too game-breaking.  And the same goes that I'd like everyone to give input, even if the input is just to say, ""I agree"" or ""I think you're way too full of yourself and absolutely wrong"" or even something in between.  Or even to chime in your own ideas and input.<br/><br/>Admittedly, I know that I don't have that type of authority.  And I hope that I don't step on anyone's toes with this post.  And if I do, I apologize in advance.  But I did want to hear from everyone.  As one player to another player.  Because I do believe that everyone wants to have an enjoyable time with this group game."

It's really no different than having a D&D GM playing the role of the demilich during an adventure, except that the person playing the respective head of each faction is also the person GMing the opposing side.<br/><br/>Also, as for the system, I do like it, but I think that GM arbitration and common sense would make it a wee bit fairer. For example, I think that if Glamorous and Hyde were to get into a wrestling match, it could be settled with roles, but barring that, fights will be decided on ingenuity, writing ability, and the most sensible option. Sure, trying to outpunch a superhumanly strong and durable hero or villain could be foolish, but zapping the support beams that would drop a roof on them would certainly level the playing field."

He has been in an assylum for nearly 10 months, and has made 4 escape attempts (one was successful, but he was recaptured). He claims to have been giving a show in SH when his stage partner was hung while she performed a routine escape. Of Course SH is abandoned, but he even tried to get there during his one successful escape. His therapist thinks he might be able to reach Deacon there, so he is taking him (and your characters w/ some connection to SH) there on a field trip.<br/><br/>Deacon is sort of a combination of Hannibal Lecter (minus the cannibalism) and Sarah Conner from T2 (Awesome escape scene!) with a little MacGyver thrown in. He will be a good guy to have around, especially in a place like SH.<br/><br/><br/>Vergil (Zachery) would work well with Sylus, who also has a medical background.<br/><br/>Sylus is a very broken man inside. He is a Fire Marshal, former firefighter & emt. He has a very dark secret that is making him suicidal. He is packed for a hike along the appelatian trail, so he will have more in the way of supplies than most when entering SH, though I have a feeling they won't last very long. He is on a bus headed to NY to pick up the upper part of the trail and hike south, when the bus breaks down or has an accident near Silent Hill West Virginia. You could be on the bus with him, headed to John's Hopkins or Bethezda Naval base?<br/><br/>I really want this to be a game where I have one or two people to intereact with (who ain't ghosts of SH) so these are my ideas.

The body will continue to pump out too much of the hormones and chemicals, such as but not limited to adrenaline, causing the sensation to continue. Furthermore, the massive production ends up doing physical damage to the target. It is also possible that someone may suffer from cardiac arrest or other deadly problems from the 'overdose' of  chemicals.

In other words, let's say that in a dice roll, in addition to my three Discipline dice, I used three Exhaustion Dice for a total of six.  If I made a Minor use of an Exhaustion talent, this would guarantee at least three successes (for my Exhaustion Dice) plus however many successes my Discipline dice gave me.<br/><br/><strong>Major uses</strong>of Exhaustion talents will allow as many successes as you have Exhaustion dice,<em>in addition to the normal roll.</em>Thus, if I used three Exhaustion dice and three Discipline dice in the example above, and got four successes (let's say I rolled a 6 5 3 3 2 1), I would add three successes for the Exhaustion dice for a total of<em>seven</em>successes.  The drawback is that you are forced to add one Exhaustion dice to your current total (remember, if you get more than 6, you Crash).<br/><br/>I'm a little bit vague on when you can use a major use and when you can use a minor use.  Perhaps it's the GM's prerogative?<br/><br/>--<br/><br/><strong>Madness Talents</strong>are ""supernatural"" talents, such as (at least, according to examples given in the Player's Guide) the ability to shrug off physical injury or the ability to teleport through walls.  I'm guessing psychic abilities would fall into this category as well.  The only prerequisite for Madness Talents are that you have to roll at least as many Madness dice as the GM decides as the difficulty of the task.   For example,  for Scott, trying to control a Bobblehead Nurse would (probably) force him to roll at least 2 or 3 Madness dice, while a major monster would probably make him roll all 6.   And remember, if Madness dominates, you have to cross off one of your Fight or Flight Responses; if you cross off all three, you Snap and go insane.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Do I have it about right, MP?"

The impact draws out a whining sound from him, and startles him into wakefulness, a brief adrenaline burst helping to push away the sleepiness.<br/><br/>But still, he was in a bit of a blur. He pulled himself up to his feet, and wiped at his bleary eyes. He stumbled his way over to the bathroom, intent on getting a shower and going to work. But it was once he was in the bathroom, and he saw himself in the mirror, that things started to click and fall into place.<br/><br/>This was not his bathroom. That was not his bedroom out there. This is not his apartment. So where in the hell is he, and why the hell is he here?<br/><br/>Christ. He looked around the bathroom, and turned on the sink. He splashed some cold water on his face, as if that might somehow help clear his mind of the remnants of tiredness, and help him to focus.<br/><br/>Maybe it had just gotten to be too much.

""Hey, Alex, I need help"".</em>His thoughts drifted, to the despair he had felt, to the feeling of futility he had. Why bother with living? Their was shit worth living for. That's how he felt at the time. That's why he grabbed the gun, and...<br/><br/>But, he's alive. He stares at his head, and marvels at it. Their's not a single scratch on him. But what happened? Where was he? Perhaps, in his stress, he had snapped or something. Had a black out, and just up and left for God knows where.<br/><br/>He could drive himself crazy thinking of the reasons why. This seemed plausible, acceptable. Keeping one hand holding the cold cloth to his pain-filled head, he fumbled around in his pockets to check to make sure he had everything on him. His wallet was fine, filled with about twenty bucks in small bills, and his credit and debit cards, and ID, and everything else.  He had his tiny utility knife with him, dull and old, and kept more out of an unwillingness to let it go, rather than it actually still being of use. And an unused lighter with a fairy detail on it. He didn't smoke, and had no real use of it, but he had seen the cheap thing for a dollar at a gas station a few months back, and he really liked the design. Really, he was a bit of a pack rat.<br/><br/>He put everything back in his pocket, and then began scouring the room, looking for something, anything, that might give him an indication of where he was, or how he got there. A brochure, or a pamphlet, or some note written to himself... anything, something, in this room that could help him. Sure, he could just go out, ask the hotel owner about where he is, and other questions, but that would be... awkward at best."

Settlers have been rumored to disappear without a trace, as if the jungle itself had swallowed them.  Living and dead samples of primitive native species have been recovered; these include: kobolds, goblins, trolls, jungle giants, and a halfling tribe calling itself the 'Kik-Tez'.  So far, no unified contingent of these latter have been found, with only a few 'Kik-Tez' who seem more fascinated by their captors' study than upset at having been taken from their people.  Explorers have reported seeing elves, halflings, and giants in the jungle, but these claims remain to be proven.<br/><br/>Your character lives in or near the city of Quinza.  You might be a slave, a missionary, a mercenary, a hired thug, an explorer, a recluse, a convict, a reluctant son or daughter, a desperate business owner, a royal dispatch, or even one of the rare natives,  We won't start as a 'party' but we will determine, before gameplay begins, how the characters will come to know each other."

Thri-kreen<br/>can also take the Multiattack feat. (These are not bonus feats.)<br/>• Natural Attacks: Thri-kreen can attack with four claws and<br/>a bite. The claws deal 1d4 points of damage, and the bite is<br/>a secondary attack that also deals 1d4 points of damage. A<br/>thri-kreen can attack with a weapon (or multiple weapons)<br/>at its normal attack bonus, and make either a bite or claw<br/>attack as a secondary attack. For example, a thri-kreen<br/>ranger with the Multiweapon Fighting feat who is armed<br/>with three short swords could attack with all three swords<br/>at a –2 penalty (the normal penalty for fi ghting with multiple<br/>weapons while using light weapons in its off hands)<br/>and also make a bite attack at a –5 penalty.<br/>• Poison (Ex): Bite, initial damage 1d6 Dex, secondary damage<br/>paralysis, DC 11 + Con modifi er. A thri-kreen produces<br/>suffi cient poison for only one poisonous bite per day.<br/>• Leap (Ex): Thri-kreen are natural jumpers. They have a +30<br/>racial bonus on Jump checks.<br/>• Weapon Familiarity: Thri-kreen can treat gythkas and<br/>chatkchas (see the sidebar) as martial weapons rather than<br/>exotic weapons.<br/>• Naturally Psionic: Thri-kreen gain 1 bonus power point<br/>at 1st level. This benefi t does not grant them the ability<br/>to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through<br/>another source, such as levels in a psionic class.<br/>• Psi-Like Abilities: 3/day—chameleon, know direction; 1/day—<br/>psionic displacement, metaphysical claw. Manifester level is<br/>equal to 1/2 Hit Dice (minimum 1st). The save DCs are<br/>Charisma-based.<br/>• Racial Hit Dice: A thri-kreen character begins with two<br/>levels of monstrous humanoid, which provide 2d8 Hit<br/>Dice, a base attack bonus of +2, and base saving throw<br/>bonuses of Fort +0, Ref +3, and Will +3.<br/>• Racial Skills: A thri-kreen’s monstrous humanoid levels<br/>give him skill points equal to 5 × (2 + Int modifi er). His class<br/>skills are Balance, Climb, Hide, Jump, Listen, and Spot.<br/>• Thri-kreen have a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks in sandy<br/>or arid settings.<br/>• Racial Feats: A thri-kreen character has Deflect Arrows as<br/>a bonus feat.

Writing runes of draconic power, inscribing these weapons with whispers of power.<br/><br/>There's a truth to these whispers, as Fiera is a practicing wizard, but also the daughter of a smith who believes someone capable of wielding magic should be willing to put their art at the disposal of others. For her, it was a pursuit of becoming an enchanter-weaponsmith in due time.</em><br/><br/>So, a core concept is a wizard (progressing as 'pure class' wizard towards level 20, not planning on picking up multi-classing or prestiges) but aiming towards item creation feats along the way, and likely to spend 'downtime' working on them, depending on the amount of funds at her disposal at those times.<br/><br/>Might be useful for the team too in time, if she gets to the point she can produce needed magic items. Though figuring beyond taking a couple of Craft skills (Weapons, Armor in particular) I doubt she'll be very skill-heavy in non-mage skills, just enough to justify that she can forge something non-magical, eventually, that is good enough quality to put her true talent, magic, at work in them.<br/><br/>Character motivation should show a bit in the italics above. There's more depth to the idea than just this, but I wanted to see if the concept in itself is alright as it stands. If you plan on a very fast-paced game where there's likely no such 'downtime' to put the feats to use later on, ah well."

Heat lightning occasionally ripples through the bruised and semi-conscious clouds that oppress the sky, and the merchant vessels visible at the end of the street nestle into the broad piers to furl their sails and suckle this land's oil and trade-able game.  A monkish cleric of some monastic order or another drags his dogcart of smoky red wine bottles, casks, and kegs-- his bare feet and cart's wheels are black with the ash-rich soils of the insanely jagged hills where grapes grow in freakish terraces, and his wiry old frame moves with the steady determination of discipline and familiarity.<br/><br/>A soft rumble of thunder teases the populace... after a few days of this heat, the whores go to half-price because no one wants to sweat more than they already have.  Conversely, the prices tend to leap in an afternoon rain, when the taverns open their heavy wooden shutters to fill their sand-mortared structures with cool breezes and it's no rare thing to see the denizens of this swampy lowland standing in that rain, staring up in the sky to where the steam of the undersea volcanoes meets the downpouring black clouds with ripples of wild lightning that speak of the gods' own revelry.<br/><br/>This is Quinza, and you are here."

She needed to learn more to put some actual magic into the items she made.

If she could improve her skill at it, perhaps through experience, she should be able to do a lot better for herself in life.<br/><br/>She was carrying the simple sack on her back as usual, a thoughtful expression on her fair. Her coppery hair had been brushed back and she was thinking on what she could work on next. The wedding rings didn't sell that much, and the little jewelry she made from local materials to be sold elsewhere took a long time to deliver her some profits. She was not broke, but a little over sixty gold pieces was not a huge sum to live on for a year.<br/><br/>It was then that she spotted something that she had not expected to see in town. Goblin! Her earthly brown eyes widened, as she looked at the fellow from a small distance. Dressed in her usual fashion of a simple shirt covering her chest and a short skirt showing a bit of her legs but keeping her modesty, she suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable at the thought how short a goblin was. She decided to keep her distance, but at the same time, she curiously observed the goblin from a bit of distance.<br/><br/>Fiera was usually curious on languages  though, and listening to the goblin making an order she smiled to herself, thinking if she could put some time into learning the goblin language at some point. It could be useful afterall. Then again, she wanted to learn every language she could, at some point. It was just a part of her never-ending curiosity."

Even though the trees and wilderness were not all that far from the inner edge of the city that lie spread out before him, enough had been cleared back to make the Big Folk feel safe and secure within their settlement. The thought of having such an immense place to live in and knowing that it was always going to be there waiting for you struck the halfling as a little odd. The Kik-Tez had a number of places where they set up camp on a regular schedule, but he wasn't sure that any of them truly counted as even a town to the Big Folk, let alone a city like Quinza.<br/><br/>His many siblings, cousins, tent-mates, and the occasional friend among the other jungle peoples thought his fascination with Quinza and its inhabitants to be more than a little strange. But Alphonse knew he wanted to be a great defender of the entirety of this jungle realm---from sea basin to smoking mountain--and the discovery that some of the Quinzans-who-came-from-over-the-Water spoke languages similar enoguh to his own made him want to find out what else they might have in common.<br/><br/>A slight commotion ahead on the street made Alphonse wary and alert. Quinza was the closest thing to a regimented place he had ever been in--although he understood that some of the elven tribes, and even some of the Other Ones were strict in how they wanted their members to behave--but it was a simmering pot at times.<em>Like now, when the rain has not come and heat of many kinds rises up.</em><br/><br/>He swiftly shimmied up a nearby building to perch upon the ledge of a small balcony to get a better view. The red lizard being seemed to almost dance before the meat-monger as it showed its excitement of the day's selections. ""Hmpf...the Big Folk have let another One into Quinza,"" Alphonse said to himself. ""They will regret it some day."" He had had too many dealings in his short time as a tribal guardian and then working for the Big Folk as a guide and tracker to trust One without an express reason, but as he watched the figure more Alphonse gave a little shrug.<br/><br/>""If it killed lizard it's wearing, it might be worth speaking to,"" he said. ""I need a closer look."" Working to the roof, Alphonse made his way along to a spot nearer to the merchant and came back down to the ground, then entered into the fringe of the passersby for a better examination of the goblin and his garment.<br/><br/><br/>"

She could find herself wary on the nails alone already, but what's mroe she felt suitably intimidated that a coupling on such a magic-rich location might result in interesting aftereffects. Interesting, but not necessarily all benign and beneficial. Nevertheless, she was at least entertaining the thought.<br/><br/>Still holding to her shirt's hem, she slowly pulled the shirt off of her, exposing the cotton resting under the tougher fabric, the light brown shirt making way to a grey wrap around her modest chest. Fiera was not the most buxom woman, enough that she might flirt and not get mistaken for a boy but she was not by any means a buxom elven beauty extraordinaire.

He did that fairly routinely when in the jungle..less so when back at his village...and hardly at all when in town. It was as if the rising sun had the largest pull on him when he was actively in his chosen element. He had stretched and gotten up with a small yawn and a glance about to refresh his memory of where he was. And then he was up, indeed, as the renewed sight of two naked women joined forces with the typical morning arousal to make the halfling cough slightly and slip over to his clothes and armor with just a quick second glance to say good morning if either the mage or warrior woman were also awake.<br/><br/>Then he found the belt.<br/><br/>""Oooh...fancy,"" he cooed to himself.<em>I wonder if it does anything or is just a good bit of work? Ah, we'll know soon enough.</em>He fastened it about his waist and turned about then looked off into the surrounding terrain and called out in a loud stage whisper, ""Thank you, Vash'ti."" He then set about with helping the others, if they needed it, with getting ready to head back--fixing breakfast, building the carrying sled, sorting through the house and grounds to decide what stays and what comes along.<br/><br/>~~~~~<br/><br/>Upon arriving back in town, Alphonse merely smiles to the street urchins--the ones he knows and likes, that is; the others get glares and silent threats to back off and leave them be. The ranger is content with listening to the women discuss and decide on the party's next course of action. He follows along and lends a hand in manuvering the bird and other belongings into Fiera's shop. He smiled at the usual suspects Quinta had barked at.

Settlers have been rumored to disappear without a trace, as if the jungle itself had swallowed them.  Living and dead samples of primitive native species have been recovered; these include: kobolds, goblins, trolls, jungle giants, and a halfling tribe calling itself the 'Kik-Tez'.  So far, no unified contingent of these latter have been found, with only a few 'Kik-Tez' who seem more fascinated by their captors' study than upset at having been taken from their people.  Explorers have reported seeing elves, halflings, and giants in the jungle, but these claims remain to be proven.<br/><br/>Your character lives in or near the city of Quinza.  You might be a slave, a missionary, a mercenary, a hired thug, an explorer, a recluse, a convict, a reluctant son or daughter, a desperate business owner, a royal dispatch, or even one of the rare natives,  We won't start as a 'party' but we will determine, before gameplay begins, how the characters will come to know each other."

What I end up with will depend on what others are bringing to the table, what my own preference eventually lands on (if anything), and what seems like it would work best in the game.<br/><br/>One is a native (probably witch, summoner, oracle, or druid) trying to gain understanding of the colonists to determine what sort of a threat they might be and how best they might be used - or if they pose a danger to the native folk.<br/><br/>Another is a lower-level nobleman (probably rogue, ranger, or gunslinger) who came to Quinza to act as an expedition leader - no reward without risk, after all.<br/><br/>A third idea I had is a scholar rather less given to quiet book-reading than most (sorcerer, summoner, or magus) who came to Quinza hoping to find arcane artifacts and secrets held by the natives.<br/><br/>I could alternately play a bodyguard type character (fighter, barbarian, cavalier, or monk), either hired or coming along out of loyalty to another character.<br/><br/>Those are my ideas as it stands right now.

Your Water Ring is considered 1 higher for purposes<br/>of how far you can move with Move actions.<br/><br/>(http://18.media.tumblr.com/lVnKQTotyphria7rtsvp0BCfo1_500.jpg)<br/><br/>The Hare clan is known for many things. Swiftness of foot, agility in combat, and an unrelenting nature. The Red and the White they wear, both shunned colors. The courtesy in the courts of Rokugan, however, is not well known, for good reason. Jiro is simply an extension of that. However, most of the Hare agree that he takes an acceptable, if disliked trait of their clan too far. Jiro is from a minor branch of the Usagi, and likely would not have risen high, had it not been for his notable behavior. He grew up outside Shiro Usagi, in a minor holding of the Hare. He was a younger son, Daichi, his elder brother shielding him from most of life’s cares.<br/><br/>Jiro took to his clans ancestral task of hunting down those who would use Mahou like a duck to water. He had never been particularly good at the games of court, whether those played on a board, or in the minds of those around him. He’d never seen the point. As a young boy, he’d had a reputation as something of a wastrel, fond of playing his own type of games with those sent to educate him. The boy was silent on his feet, and had many disliked talents. But in hunting Mahou, those came to fruition. The rules of war didn’t apply. A Hare killed the users of Mahou. If he did this via trickery and stealth, so be it. Unlike fighting with other Samurai, users of Mahou could be exterminated in whatever way Jiro saw as best.<br/><br/>However, the height of his disgrace was yet to come. Beyond ferreting the users of Mahou, Jiro was often employed as a scout, or a guard for the borders. The Scorpion border the lands of the Hare, and the Ashigaru alone cannot keep them safe. It was on one of these missions that he met Bayushi Moriko. A Scorpion Courtier, her and her entourage were travelling through the lands of the Hare to reach the Unicorn. They had been announced, and the Hare had given dispensation to them. Moriko was a woman of surpassing beauty, several years Jiro’s senior, and newly wed to a Shosuro. Jiro fell for her at first sight. Little would have happened, most likely, had she not taken further steps. Moriko requested Jiro guide them through the lands of the Hare. The Scorpion’s appointed guide had not arrived. Jiro later learned that he had fallen and twisted his ankle on the way to the meeting point. Jiro, still enraptured by Moriko agreed, leaving instructions that the guide was to take his place. Nothing dishonorable had taken place. The Scorpion’s missive could not be delayed, nor could they be allowed to move through Hare lands without some form of guard.<br/><br/>However, Jiro and Moriko quickly became… friends. Many of the Scorpions were dismissive of the young Hare, but Moriko was solicitous. She was curious about many things, as was ever her way. Jiro and her spent much time in conversation, something that annoyed the other Scorpion members of her party. The few days he spent in her company still can bring a faint smile to Samurai’s lips, even if it soon turns dark.<br/><br/>Jiro escorted the Scorpion to the lands of the Unicorn, and then parted ways, an unusually courteous goodbye reserved for Moriko. She stopped him before he could go, giving him an invitation. To attend the Bayushi’s Winter Court, in Kyuden Bayushi. Her smile as she pressed it into his hands can make Jiro’s heart leap, even in the imperfect mirror that is Jiro’s memory. The invitation was a great honor for an undistinguished minor Clan Samurai. An Honor fraught with peril. Jiro returned to Shiro Usagi, and sought counsel with elder members of his family. It was taken as a given Jiro could not turn down the offer. However, the invitation allowed several more Hare to accompany Jiro, and these were senior Hare indeed.<br/><br/>Jiro spent the remainder of the year doing minor tasks. Other then an answer to his confirmation, and discussion of those that would be accompanying him, Jiro had no further contact with Moriko. When autumn came, he returned to Shiro Usagi, and left with the small group of Hare Samurai, as well as their retainers. They were greeted at the border of Scorpion lands by a Shosuro. However, upon reaching Kyuden Bayushi, it became obvious something was wrong. The Palace was in an uproar. The Hare quickly picked up the situation. Bayushi Moriko had been murdered. Furthermore, in listening to the description of the situation, it was obvious to them Mahou had been used. Jiro wished to offer his services to the Scorpion, but the Hare that accompanied told him to not be a fool. All that would do is anger the Scorpion. Nevertheless, Jiro slipped off, and went to the palace. He offered his aid in investigating Moriko’s death. The reaction from the Scorpion ranged between shock, and outright hilarity. This Hare thought he could offer something to the Scorpion. Jiro pushed, and the Scorpion became angry. Finally, they ordered him out. It was not the Scorpions intention to remove him from the city, as that would be discourteous. Winter was coming, and the Samurai who threw a guest out into the cold would pay for it. Nevertheless, Jiro took it that way.<br/><br/>Jiro made it back to the Hare Lands. His skills were enough to guide him through the falling snow. It was unpleasant, but nowhere near as unpleasant as the prospect of remaining in Kyuden Bayushi. He wintered in small village on the border. Come spring, he returned to Shiro Usagi. The Elders of his clan were less then pleased, to say the least. The Winter Court had been a disaster, the Scorpion taking Jiro’s disappearance as an insult of the grandest level, while the other Great Clans spoke of the hospitality of the Scorpion, to send a young Samurai out to die. It was believed he was dead, and probably better for it. Nevertheless, he wasn’t.<br/><br/>Jiro has lived with the consequences of that brief period since then. The task of hunting down the users of Mahou has become his obsession, and he pursues it to the exclusion of all else. As for the memory of Moriko, he has no idea why she acted as she did to him. It may simply be that she enjoyed his company. It may be part of some grand scheme. Jiro cannot say. He prefers to believe the former.<br/><br/>(http://darkpoca.free.fr/films/gohatto/images/gohatto2.jpg)"

What clan does you character belong too</span>: Sparrow<br/>She sits very still, watching you with dark, pensive eyes. “The sparrow is small, but endures. And have you seen many small ones, band together, to drive away the hawk? Some perish … but their children live. And soon … the hawk comes no more; he seeks easier prey.”<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">2. What family does you character belong too</span>: Suzume<br/>She tilts her head to the side, a faint flicker of emotion barely visible at the arrogance of the Great Clans who ask this question, so redundant for the Minor Clans. “The Suzume is all there is of Sparrow,” she speaks gently, correctly and courteously answering that question. If there is the hint on her voice as of speaking to a very small, rather stupid child, it is subtle enough that trying to claim insult would make the asker seem foolish.  “We were once Crane, but now our feathers are darker, and less fine, but the honor at our core shines that much brighter.”<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">3. Is your character a Bushi, A shugenja, or a Courtier</span>: Shugenja<br/>“The spirits called me, indeed, although I did not … understand what I felt.” There is a long moment of silence, a private grief.  “There are no other Shugenja who are close kin to me. The spirits move as they will, not as we wish. It is best to … stay alert.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">4. How would others describe you characters appearance</span>:<br/>Pretty, and deeply introspective. Sometimes seems to shut the world out. Someone who manages to be lonely even in a crowded room. Bright, but with a brittle quality. She has thin, clever fingers equally adept on an instrument or healing a patient. Her smile brings to mind not the rising of the sun, glorious, changing everything, but a shooting star, glorious still, but doomed to end in darkness.<br/>She has dark, mysterious eyes, often seeming to be looking at some inner scene, and soft, feather soft hair. Her skin is flawless and her features carry some of her great-aunt's beauty.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">5. What is you character's primary motivation</span>: “I wish to see my people fed; for not one more Sparrow, from Eta to Daiymo, to starve. The safety of my family and welfare of my clan is worth any price.” She listens a moment, a faint smile appearing, that makes her lovely features breathtaking. “I am a practical person … we must plow, sew and harvest; someone must cook, and clean and make medicines.”<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">6. Who is the person your character trusts most in the world</span>: Her mother.<br/>“It is my Lady Mother who has most shown me honor, and courage and compassion. I hope to be worthy of her, and trust her most in the world.” Grief and guilt glimmers in her eyes. “Only on one topic do we … disagree.”<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">7. What is you character's greatest strength and weakness</span>:<br/>“I do not worry about what is impossible, but about what resources are here, now to solve whatever problem faces us. I was honored to learn courtesy of the Tonbo and Ishiken-do from the Phoenix, granting me the courtesy and skills to deal with many different issues.” She looks at away. “Love sometimes defeats honor.”<br/>Her great strength is her ability to see the practical, possible answer; to see through to the heart of a problem backed up by her Tonbo training in courtesy and diplomacy, which often gives her the chance to help solve the problem. Her greatest weakness is her great love for her disgraced Ronin brother.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">8. What does your character think of Bushido</span>:<br/>“Bushido is for an ideal world. and if everyone correctly obeyed its tenets we would live in a very pleasant world. But they don not, and in the end Bushido remains is merely an ideal; the harvest must still come in, the silk be woven into cloth, the meals cooked. In accomplishing those basic tasks all else is accomplished. Worry less about the ideals of Bushido then its purpose.”<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">9. What is you character's opinion of her clan</span>:<br/>“I love the Sparrow Clan, for our honor in adversity and grace under fire. I yearn to add enough to our holdings, to not always teeter on the edge of destruction; for all of our people to survive each winter, not perish due to the lack of simple things like food, clothing and heat.”<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">10. Is your character married</span>: She is not, nor promised.<br/>Her eyes flare and she goes still. “You may speak to all those warring over the right to bestow my hand in marriage. My great aunt, my mother, both of my Sensei's and even a Hare family.” The tension eases and a faint humor appears. “Let us hope between they pick someone sensible.”<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">11. Does your character have any prejudices</span>:<br/>“I do not know most of the clans well; I have been studying. Yet I find the Tonbo and Dragon odd beyond enduring; they seek always for something that cannot be found by those seeking it, and the great, careless wealth of the Crane is a thorn in my side; some of my families could eat through the winter on the scraps of one days dinner.”<br/>She finds the Tonbo and Dragon a little odd, constantly to be seeking something that cannot be found by looking for it, but that must come on its own. The great wealth of the Crane is a trouble to her, since she knows so many with great need.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">12. To whom does you character owe the most loyalty</span>:<br/>She answers obliquely. “The ancestors decide who hears them, and whom they hear. So to my blood family goes my first loyalty; my brothers and my mother.”<br/>In order: blood family, Clan, Phoenix, Tonbo.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">13. What are your character's most favorite and least favorite things</span>: Her dad's half carved sparrow is her most treasured possession, harvest festival her favorite religious rite, and walking in the evening is her favorite activity. Her favorite place to be is with her loved ones. She adores the tea ceremony,with its rituals of peace and harmony. Chiyu despises yelling and loud scenes; she hates death with a passion, seeing it as the true enemy, and she finds it grates upon her to watch the wealthy waste food.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">14. Does your character have any recurring mannerisms</span>: Chiyu always carries her father's half-carved sparrow with her, and when seeking to shut out the world will run her fingers lightly over it. Having no tasks to do is a burden for her; sitting still, without the focus of meditating, her mind wanders to unpleasant things. She likes to have small things to do with her hands, even unconsciously sorting stones, or her fingers making the movements to soundless melodies.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">15. What about you character's emotions</span>: Chiyu is someone of deep thoughts, but who is fearful of her uncontrolled emotions. She knows the consequence of letting one's emotions rule, and has seen the blood that inevitably flows from that. She seeks to find resolutions to conflict that do not require battle, even if she is mindful that the Kami have declared such as an honorable path. The world contains both pain and joy, and Chiyu feels both, on her own behalf as well as those whom she tries to help.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">16. How would your character handle a subordinate's inappropriate behavior</span>: A gentle reminder of the correct way to do it, and then have them practice twenty times.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">17. What is you character's highest ambition</span>: To bring land and wealth to Sparrow clan (not wealth by Great Clan standards, but enough that she need never know another family to starve). Though she'd also like to find away for her brother to be redeemed.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">18. How would your character's parents describe her</span>: Deeply, fiercely proud. Their daughter has touched things they never have, and never will. They regret that they can't share her experiences, nor totally understand her, but do not regret the choices they made. She is both terribly practical and familiar, keeping her focus on what task needs doing next and strange and unknowable, hearing the whispers on the wind.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">19. How religious is you character</span>:<br/>She smiles faintly. “Faith? It is not faith. The spirits, ancestors, kami and Kami make themselves known in a hundred ways, each day. We know well the Celestial Order, and our place in it.” She leans close, whispering, “but tread carefully. Their ways are not ours, their purposes are not ours. Even your own ancestors scarcely recall what it is to be mortal. They will use you up, and leave you a broken husk, promising you only your next life.” Her practical side appears. “And how would you even know if they paid their debt?”<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">20. How will your character die</span>: Her wish: In bed, shortly after her beloved husband, with a dozen loving children and grandchildren clustered around her bed.

But it made Ciaphas feel better. It made him feel human again. But a mere illusion of course, but old habits die hard. He had been a chain smoker in life, so it was in death. He didn't like doing it around the other kindred though, it felt weird to be smoking around them. It's all well and good on the street, it made for a great Masquerade card up the sleeve. So he was smoking away in his car outside the Dome. Dogends strewn around him. He took some time to recompose himself, checking the rear view mirror. He hadn't bothered shaving. What use is it when it stays the same length, always growing out the same over day. Also, since that little cut the other day...<br/><br/>He had cut himself shaving. The blood had poured out of him. He had been desperate to stop it, even going so far as to lick it up from the sink, trying to save it before it circled down the drain. It was an frightning reminder of his new nature. Of the beast tucked away underneath all this fragile humanity. Pathetic really.<br/><br/>Stepping out of the car he approached the Dome. The doorman for the evening frisked him quickly. Malkavians scared the ghouls. They knew fully well what happened to those caught in the thrall of a Malkavian. But all that didn't matter to Ciaphas. He despised his clan, secretly of course. They were lunatics, every single one of them. Especially his sire, the monster. That man was irrevocably mad and unreliable. So much so that he wasn't welcome on most of the Elysiums around town. He hadn't turned up for a gathering like this for years either from what he had heard, maybe even decades.<br/><br/>Madmen, every single one of them. He passed one of his so called cousins on the way to the school house. He gave her a short nod and hurried by. He didn't want to get caught up in that morass. Madmen, every single one of them. Except himself. He was miraculously untainted by Malkav's curse. He wasn't like them. Otherwise Adam would never have taken him in. The prince hated Malkavians. But even so, he was acceptable it seemed. Because he wasn't a raving lunatic like the others. Of course, he was sure the Prince had ulterior motives. Just like the rest of them. Rats, every single one of them...<br/><br/>He stepped into the school and had a short look around. It wasn't big. Had a decent hallway, but not much more. Stepping into the class room, he spotted the Kaiser and Adam, some other kindred who were mewling to their master, probably asking for this and that. Rats. Walking up to Adam, he gave the sheriff a nod and his eyes started to dart across the room.<br/><br/>""So, what's with all this?"" he finally whispered, making sure the Kaiser didn't overhear ""What's with all the urgency and whatnot? I had alot of work to catch up with tonight."""

Yet that was not always the way to be, for even though Rose would tread the path of a lone wolf sometimes the call of the back was strong.<br/><br/>It was then she approached a little closer to some of the others, the dog remained close which was indeed a comfort. She moved then to someone that was perhaps recognised, or at least did not seem like one of the elite. She spoke then, Rose had a soft low voice, much as her soft footing upon the earth was. “Excuse me…do you know why we are all here.” Likely one such as her would not be told or at least would not be told the truth but it never hurt to ask, and ask without making some clandestine song and dance about it.<br/><br/>The gangrel’s nostrils flared a little she spoke her pale eyes were ever watchful and they seemed to glow a little in the moonlight, as an animal might.<br/>"

he's been known to be somewhat lackadaisical in his control of the city, which is why, for example, Milwaukee supports a larger kindred population than a city its size can safely support.  Though he uses the title ""Prince"", many of Milwaukee's Kindred refer to him as ""the Kaiser.""<br/><br/><strong>Adam Czerwinski</strong>, Sheriff<br/>As Max Kaiser's right-hand man, Adam serves as something of a centering weight to Max's aloofness.  Adam is serious, centered, and has aspirations for Milwaukee that he often feels free to pursue, free from the Kaiser's command.  He is known for being more severe than the Prince that he serves; more than once has an execution demanded by Adam been stayed by Maximillian.  Though this might suggest some sort of tension between the two, by all appearances, Max and Adam are fast friends.<br/><br/>The Primogeniture<br/><em>In Milwaukee, the Primogens are selected to their positions by Maximillian Kaiser and serve as advisers to him.  Not every Clan enjoys a Primogen; neither the Ventrue or Brujah have representatives beyond the Prince and his Sheriff, and Maximillian ""doesn't trust Malkavians.""</em><br/><br/><strong>Amadeus Lehner</strong>, Tremere Primogen<br/>Like many of Milwaukee's eldest representatives, Amadeus Lehner is an immigrant from Europe; he hails from Austria, which he will proudly inform damn near everyone.  He is incredibly bookish, and he maintains the small Chantry beneath the stately Central Library.  Amadeus leads his Tremere in a sort of reclusive manner; they don't partake overmuch in city politics to any overwhelming degree, and it's generally understood to be because Amadeus keeps them very busy with more arcane concerns than politicking.<br/><br/><strong>Aria Pokawon</strong>, Gangrel Primogen<br/>A true Milwaukeean native, Aria Pokawon predates the city itself.  When pressed, she'll admit that she was Embraced by a French trader in the eighteenth century.  Aria Pokawon has made it a personal goal to be involved in the concerns of the Native American population of Milwaukee -- particularly the Potawatomi.  Her intentions are sometimes questioned; she's not incredibly forthcoming.  Some Milwaukeean Kindred whisper that she maintains some association with Lupines outside of the city, but there has been little to verify that claim.<br/><br/><strong>Ecks</strong>, Nosferatu Primogen<br/>Ecks runs the city's network of Sewer Rats and keeps a close eye and tight leash on most of their associates as well.  He's known for his regular appearance at the city's Elysium -- he seems to enjoy existing as a public figure, if only because his appearance, covered in pustules that seem to ooze rotten blood as he is, causes so many such displeasure.  He fancies himself and his Childer in the city as protectors of the Kindred and the Masquerade; little is known of him prior to the end of his life.<br/><br/><strong>Devora Bet Eretzi</strong>, Toreador Primogen<br/>Devora is the city's premiere Toreador activist, and she enjoys the position; she is recognizably active in the city's politics to a degree that the other Primogens are not (at least, if they are, they're not as apparent about it as she is.)  Prior to the 1940s, Devora was Deborah Rosenblum; she's had many names before, as well.  In Elysium, Devora is often seen in the company of the city's two Harpies -- both members of her Clan, and one of them her own Childer.  She is a painter by trade, though she is conversant in ancient and contemporary styles of many, many art forms.<br/><br/><em>Other Important Corpses</em><br/><strong>Aaron Zuckert</strong>, the Messenger<br/>In Milwaukee, the Elysium is a travelling affair; it meets bi-weekly, and while there are some places that enjoy regular performances (the Milwaukee Repertoire Theater, for example, sees Elysium hosted at least once or twice every season, while the Mitchell Park Domes have hosted Elysium in the Fall at least once a year since they were erected); Aaron Zuckert is the Kindred charged with ensuring that everyone in the city knows when and where Elysium will meet, and generally delivers any other official information related to the event.  Under Ecks' guidance, Aaron Zuckert (who goes by 'AZ' around the city's primogen) has taken well enough to being a very visible member of the Clan of monsters, but he is otherwise friendly and personable -- which is ideal, because more than any other Kindred in the city, Aaron deals with every Camarilla vampire in the city.<br/><br/><strong>Epiphany Smith</strong>, the Senior Harpy<br/>Toreador through and through, Epiphany lives a posh sort of lifestyle that often puts others in the Milwaukeean Camarilla at ill-ease -- it's a working city, and Epiphany has the attitude of someone who's never worked a day in her life.  Most Kindred in the city are acutely aware of her; she is always a presence at the local Elysium, and she's been known to make full use of her power as the court's Harpy, raising the slightest indiscretions into city-wide news (and on occasion, more than that.)  Epiphany knows that the Milwaukee Court is looked down upon by most of the rest of the nation, and the Madison and Chicago courts in particular, and while she's invested in clearing that image, she's been known to turn that stigma against Milwaukeean Kindred who run amuck.<br/><br/><em>As Yet Undetailed Others</em><br/><strong>Eleanor</strong>, the Junior Harpy"

as the reason he would take the people of Ningen-do with him to battle the evil forces of Fu Leung.  He would not take the sons and daughters of Heaven with him in his quest to save Rokugan, but instead desired those that were born of the dirt and soil.  He saw within each man and woman of this landscape a potential for greatness that might surpass even the mightiest champion from beyond this world.  Shinsei saw the true strength of the soul.  <br/><br/>Such immortal words find no greater banner than in the strength of the Minor Clans.  Chosen not for the blood in their veins or the beauty of their ancestry, these samurai were brought together by the tenacity and work of their founder.  Each Minor Clan was forged to honor the words or actions of a mortal man or woman, to give recognize in them the strength of their soul.  Just as Shinsei had envisioned so the Minor Clans bring to life.  From their ranks come the children of the soil and dirt, from their ranks come the truest breath of humanity.  With swords and souls raised high, these brave few stand to be heard and have their voices shake the pillars of Heaven.<br/></em><br/><br/>For much of the year the sleepy village of Tsuma remained just as the landscaped suggested.  Gently rolling hills and soft breezes showed this place to be a haven from the bustle of life.  A tiny village nestled into the bend of a river there seemed to be few cares of the world here.  Along the quiet shore lapped peaceful waters with fisherman shouting greeting to each other as they fished for their families.  By night a pleasure barge might make its way across the waters should a rich patron reside nearby, but typically there was little to disturb the music of silence found there.  Blossoms ebbed and flowed with the cycle of life, the mark of the Crane evident on even the poorest doorstep with flowery arrangements.  Few could mistake this place as belonging to any other than the Crane Clan.<br/><br/>Yet once a year the waters were disturbed by the presence of ships.  Flowers were trampled with the sandals of many and the villagers were sent to keeping their homes.  Once a year samurai from across the proud land of Rokugan descend on the village of Tsuma in search of glory and honor.  The Topaz Championship arrived every year to become the altar of adulthood for many young samurai.  The championship a testing ground for strength, skill and training that each had received since childhood.  Samurai could find little better place to start their glorious journey than on these hallowed grounds.  While the villagers find their homes besieged with strangers, they take the invasion in stride.  Smiling faces are common as they know that this competition brings much prosperity and good fortune to their small village.<br/><br/>Prosperity typically comes from the vast arrangement of merchants that come along with the young warriors.  As the championship serves as a center for attention, this also means that the village becomes a center for trade as people barter and wage economic wars with one another.  Goods from all across the region come to this village as well, sometimes coming from farther than just the borders of the nation.  Merchants from the Unicorn Clan bring their wild leathers and saddles, while those from the Crab bring their legendary steel and traps for hunting.  Those in between likewise bring their legendary wares to be sold and have connections established.<br/><br/>Positioned now upon a place, creatively named Merchant Way, these combatants of the koku setup their stations and surveyed their fields.  Tents were erected to host exalted guests and wares were set on display to attract the passerby.  On this day, a week before the tournament’s opening ceremony, these tents were in the most chaotic of construction.  Wagons took their place now with bundles of straw mats rolled up in the rear of such vehicles.  Ponies and horses stamped their feet, some bucking at the bustle and crowding of people so close.  Merchants of great families, minor clans and the unknown alike are gathered in this small place.  Fights are common and have been for many decades.  As such a small contingent of samurai are sent to watch over the proceedings so that focus can be kept on the games and not on policing merchants.<br/><br/>A collection of odd security had been assigned for this event.  Drawn mainly from the ranks of the Minor Clan, their presence was meant to be a stronger than deterrent to violence than the previous year with heimin and ronin guards.  Scandal had rocked the tournament as the ronin had turned their peace keepers into enforcers and began to exact payment from merchants to use the field set aside for them.  Such a thing had ended in failure of the Merchant Way to conduct business peacefully and effectively.  Daidoji Masuke had been forced to come to the aide of the merchants, killing each of the ronin guardians himself.  Their heads still proved a gruesome display to any others that might take such an unscrupulous path to riches.  Daidoji Masuke still served as the magistrate for the tournament and head of the security forces for the Merchant Way.<br/><br/>The man’s white hair could be seen clearly in the morning light.  Each strand perfectly combed and positioned as if the wind dared not bother him in thought.  Eyes of cold blue stared down at the proceedings and surveyed those assigned to him.  The daisho he wore was rumored to have been a gift from the Emerald Champion himself over a decade before, when Masuke was still young enough to chase criminals across the Empire.  Now he suffered from a leg that refused to heal and many said his eye sight was growing dim.  That he had killed several ronin single handedly seemed to attest that neither defect had slowed him down much.<br/><br/>He bowed to them as they assembled.  A sign of respect given first before he would assume proper command.<br/><br/>“A call went out to each of your daimyos.  A summons for worthy bushi and wise shugenja, for the canny and quick of mind to be brought here.  While the children of the Empire wage their war for glory and honor the task of defending the honor of the Crane and the Empire will rest upon our soldiers.  The eyes of all those that matter will be turned on us for this small time.  Our reward is that they do not see us, our dishonor is for them to take notice that we had to act at all.”  The last sentence is given emphasis as he stared past them and to the severed heads that line the road to this area.<br/><br/>“For the next few weeks I am the one you speak to if there is trouble.  I am the one that will shelter you, feed you and protect you.  I am your lord and these merchants are your people.  Protect them as you would your own lands and this will be a proud event for us all.”<br/><br/>"

You may remember her from when we were children. She is also a Shugenja … we have exchanged letters since I first went to school with the Tonbo.”</strong>Her time there had been brief and frustrating, but some of their lessons in courtesy remained with her.<br/><br/>She looked on the pleasant town of Tsuma, seeing how hard the peasants worked to keep it clean and  beautiful, the small signs that all was well: strong roofs, smiling faces, well drained fields. A good town, withal. One worth protecting.<br/><br/>She smoothed a hand over her best kimono, clean and magically repaired to a like splendor with Kyou; her eyes lit for a moment, as she imagined their surprise. Two Sparrows, and both in fine feathers? Her gentle, fragile smile appeared and vanished again. She wore a fine traveling robe over her kimono, to keep dust and dirt from the road off of it. Wistfully, she longed for the spell to clean, as well as repair, but her Sensei had not let her choose all practical spells.<br/><br/>A samurai's first duty was to kill.<br/><br/>Kyou had guarded her most gently and determinedly during their trip; despite his towering height he reminded her very much of a Shiba Yojimba, save for the light flirting and pleasant stories that filled the evening. She glanced sideways at his massive form and felt very well protected, indeed. He would bring the Clan honor; it was her own flaw that she wished rather to have him return home whole.<br/><br/>She had not realized how much she missed the stories from home, how much the silence of the Phoenix had weighed upon her, until it seemed to have settled within her. Much like her mother's grief, that would not let go. She did not think of her father's silence the same; his silence had not been a turning away, but a … hearing. Much like the Ancestors, though he'd been so even before he became one.<br/><br/>She twirled her umbrella, thinking.<strong>“Another Fox, some distant relation to her I assume, though she did not say. And the last Shugenja that we know ...”</strong>she paused.<strong>“Kyou-senpai, I ask that you go gently with him. He is Moshi Liang, Centipede clan. He is very skilled, and a little angry.”</strong>He was a lot angry. But no one could change the past, so it was best to hope his fury would alight on someone else while they were here. They walked on for a while before she continued.<strong>“He trained with me, at the Isawa School. You may recall him.”</strong>She hoped he did not; the tall, thin intense young man's eyes had burned with ambition and jealousy each time they rested upon her, perhaps because he was not also a practitioner of Ishiken-do. Obliquely she delivered her warning.<strong>“Like many, he found it a difficult thing that I could sense the Void.”</strong><br/><br/>Her hand slid along her kimono's obo, checking its folds. Callouses from her musical instrument, the hours she spent practicing her Calligraphy and even the nicks and bruises from the trail chores she performed marred the expected perfection of her hands. Fingers roughened from grinding herbs into medicines slid into her kimono, and pulled out her father's unfinished sparrow. She soothed over the softened wood, tracing the places his fingers had gone. Finally she spoke, her eyes distant.<strong>“Usagi Jiro is to be there. My mother mentioned it in her letter. I do not know if … his sister attends.”</strong><br/><br/>The thought of Jiro's wrath made her shudder. He would have been a difficult brother-in-law, being a Hare Bushi whose purpose was to watch over the honor of the Shugenja, purging any who fell into the use of Mahou – bood magic. Now she did not know how to face him. Save simply, and with the truth.<em>My brother is disgraced.</em><br/><br/>She glanced at Kyou out of the corner of her eye, unable to see his expression at her news. His straw hat had many purposes, and one was to conceal his face unless he looked directly at her. Which he rarely did, except when he was thanking her for the food she summoned and prepared each night.<br/><br/>A good companion, soothing and gentle with her when some would condemn her along with her brother. But he chose instead to guard her … she decided to pretend he merely guarded her from all approaching harm, and not from a fear that she still was determined to find her brother.<br/><br/>Which she was, of course. He was her brother and she loved him."

His Kimono was well made, simple in design, but still drawing the eye. It was mostly Red, a dark, deep red, like the Samurai wearing it was covered with blood. Many Hare favored lighter Reds, and Jiro had a more formal kimono in his bag of that color. But this was his favored wear. The Darker Red hid the travails of the road better, but it was more then that. It was more honest. The Hare wore Red for a reason. It was trimmed with White, his clan mon stitched at his breast, and both sleeves.<br/><br/>He looked over at his companion for this trip, Kitsune Rina. The Fox and the Hare were traditional foes, and Jiro shared the evaluation of the clan for the most part. Jiro had enough problems with pranks without the Kitsune’s fondness for levity and tricks. However, Rina had skills he did not, and her presence opened doors to him that would have remained shut otherwise. He expected she evaluated him likewise. He didn’t have delusions that he was the best company. But the two had an amicable relationship, enough so that they had elected to travel to Tsuma together. Jiro paused as he rounded a bend, Tsuma coming into view.<br/><br/>He knew some of who would be his companions. One other Hare, though strangely trained. But his families message had focused on Suzume Chiyu, and her brother. Natsumi was furious, and his father was scheming once more. Unfortunately, Royta’s schemes had caught Jiro.<br/><br/><em>Not yet, they haven’t.</em><br/><br/>But either way, he would have to speak to her about what had happened. The Samurai pushed the hat slightly back, and pick up the pace. No use in putting it off. He looked over toward Rina, nodding slightly.<br/><br/>“You don’t mind if I walk a bit faster, do you, Kitsune-San?”"

She was confident that she was prepared to meet whatever was put in her path but she was not so overconfident that a small thread of trepidation remained.

Her mother had accompanied her out of their village until they had met Usagi-san and Rina had said good bye to her mother.<br/><br/>Usagi was not a difficult travelling companion- she thought he was perhaps much better than most. It gave her pause to reflect that those who might be thought of as incompatible- could be the opposite at times.<br/><br/>Rina wore the green kimono that her mother had made for her. The fabric was soft from wear and she loved to feel it wrapped around her body as if it was her mother's arms hugging her lovingly. She had a more formal kimono in her travelling sack: it was the colors of her clan: silver and a reddish brown. It was newly made by her mother and she would wear it with much pride and honor.<br/><br/>She had walked in silence as they had caught sight of Tsuma. She had been writing to one of her childhood friends: Suzume-san who would also be at the Tournament. Rina could not wait to see her and reconnect with her friend. She looked to Jiro and nodded as he asked to go on ahead.<br/><br/>""Not at all, Usagi-san..Maiko-chi will protect me!""

The Kimono had cost her family dearly to make, and was a deep, lovely brown with elaborate tan embroidery of her family's lands. Upon her chest rose a painstakingly detailed cherry tree, a singing sparrow centered precisely upon her heart.<br/><br/>Stitched in the same lovely tan was an elaborate phoenix, crossing over her shoulders, its head wrapping down her right arm, its beak clutching the void symbol. The feathered tail adorned her left shoulder and upper arm. Her obi was in a color that was as close to gold as her family could manage, with flames and feathers embroidered across it all in deep red.<br/><br/>She stopped reflexively when Kyou touched her shoulder, and stared up at the large Bushi. Before she could meet his eyes to either scold, question or answer he'd stepped past her on the road. She turned to glance behind them, in order to hide the pain in her dark eyes. How she hoped it was true, that her brother's story was not over, that his life would not end with him nameless and disgraced.<br/><br/>So it was that she saw them first, coming up from behind. A man a finger's breadth taller than her, who walked with that intent purpose which had marked him upon each of their meetings. Her stomach clenched and her umbrella (painted to match her Obi) trembled in her hands. He wore a conical hat, a simple but well made Kimono in a deep, dark red. He looked already splashed in blood. White flashed at his breast, and on both sleeves. The paired colors spoke of his purpose, to ferret out dishonor amongst the priestly Shugejna.<br/><br/>With him walked a lovely woman of gentle demeanor who she could not, at first recognize. Would not have known, if not for the monkey. But that monkey had been favored with several pages of her latest letter, so it was unlikely that the lovely Fox Shugenja walking towards them now could be anyone but her friend, Kitsune Rina. She was in a soft green Kimono, not a formal one for her clan.<br/><br/><strong>“Kyou-senpai,”</strong>she murmured softly,<strong>“Two we know approach. Usagi Jiro-san and Kitsune Rina-san.”</strong><br/><br/>She stepped to the middle of the road and carefully unfolded her umbrella, stowing it. Her traveling cloak followed the umbrella into her pack, revealing her formal kimono. She placed her pack on the ground, and waited in perfect stillness until the two who approached were close enough. The wind blew through her soft hair and made her kimono cling to her legs like a frightened child.<br/><br/>She bowed to them when they approached, holding her bow a hairsbreadth longer than necessary. When she straightened from her bow, she spoke, her voice soft and with the merest breadth of tension<strong>“Usagi Jiro-san. It is an honor. Kitsune Rina-san. I have looked forward to meeting you again. This is my cousin, Suzume Kyou-san.”</strong><br/>"

Jiro stood awkwardly for a moment, before recovering, bowing to them both.<br/><br/>""Suzume Chiyu-San, it is good to see you again. Even if the circumstances are unfortunate.

Then again, what else could be expected of one such as he? Ronin by fate of birth rather than any deed of his own... in this life at least. What he needed now was a way back into the Celestial Order, and a way back to the Clan of his ancestors. He would restore honor and glory to that which he held most dear. There was no other way. For now though, he would focus on proving himself more than a common thief or bandit. More than those of his status were usually considered. Tatsuo was more, much more. He knew it in his very soul... he just had to make others see it.<br/><br/>Mind set on the task he had been called upon to take up, the large male moved down the path with all the surety of a runaway boulder—he would follow the path, but where it ended suddenly in attempt to thwart him, he would bulldoze his way through until he regained that path or carved a new one. Such was his way and it was no different now. What he lacked in subtlety, he made up for in determination and drive. For as formidable as the strength in his arms, legs, and back were, it was the strength of his will that stood out most.<br/><br/>Eyes set ahead he spotted the group that he was to meet and approached cautiously, not wishing to begin this endeavor on a sour note should he startle them into action. He knew very well what he looked like and what he represented. Tatsuo was not a soft man by any stretch of the imagination and the set of his intense features showed this plainly. About him he wore a simple kimono, more sturdy than ornate, in the colors of his extinct clan. He wore no clan mon so instead the mon of his family sat upon each breast proudly. Those who knew their history would know it but their recognition was not the reason he wore it.<br/><br/>As he finally stepped nearer to the four he paused and bowed in respect, keeping his body loose and his motions smooth and nonthreatening.<strong>“Greetings.”</strong>His low voice was just as smooth and even as he made his introduction,<strong>“I am Heichi Tatsuo of the Twilight Mountains and I have been summoned to serve alongside you in Tsuma.”</strong>"

Her eye movments and sightful need could be compared to a man who had been deprived of water for days and now finally given his fill, could not stop drinking.<br/><br/>Her eyes caught the figures standing in the road but then roamed again, once again returning to the 2. It took her a few seconds to register and remember the female figure and then , when she did, she lowered her fan and smiled warmly. As she reached the 2, she stood there and bowed - remaining also a moment longer than usual. She stood wanting to hug her friend but knowing that honor, pride and respect forbid her to do so. She was no longer a small child that had played alongside and with Chiyu as a child. Now they were full grown and respected Shugenja.<br/><br/>""It is very good to see you Suzume Chiyu-san.

They would be placed side by side- perhaps to protect each other and she wished to better understand and know each of them.

Suzume Chiyu's dark eyes regarded him seriously and without artifice, though she tensed subtly when he spoke of a letter, and her eyes clouded. He knew, then. He had cause to be hostile to her and her entire family, but his words were gentle and polite, his tone perfectly neutral.

It would not be right to mention other, darker things in front of such joy. Her warm smile was a balm and Chiyu felt an answering smile curve her lips.<br/><br/>Her attention was caught by the tall man who approached them; she could not place his colors, but perhaps he was merely dressed casually, for travel. His face was hard, his features intense and the set of shoulders fluid as he bowed. His voice was smooth as he introduced himself.<br/><br/>Heichi family? Of the Twilight Mountains? Nearly, she did not recognize the name. Almost, she failed to see the significance of his dress. But she had been trained with the Phoenix Clan, and magical disasters of that nature had featured predominately in her lessons. So her first response was fear, followed by astonishment. She had thought them all destroyed.<br/><br/><strong>“Well met, Heichi Tatsuo-san. I am Suzume Chiyu.”</strong>She bowed in greeting, before speaking quietly again, this time in response to Rina's comment.<strong>“Our journey was pleasant, and free from strife. Several useful herbs were found along the way.”</strong><br/><br/>She permitted conversation to swirl around her for a time, then spoke softly to Jiro.<strong>“Our duties will soon consume our time, Usagi Jiro-san.

Neither such seemed to call for a decision. She dreaded being called upon to furnish details of her brother's shame. At the least, the letter contained a demand for that. It was owed, to Jiro-san and his family. Dark, pain-filled eyes remained fastened on Jiro for a full two breaths longer than was strictly polite before she glanced down to find her fingers absently soothing over her father's sparrow.<br/><br/>She did not pass out, nor even tremble very much at all. Another breath and she felt she might look up again, having composed her features. She did not think his father could command her death when Moto Ikari had … not. But she owed something there as well, for the grief of Jiro's sister and anger of his father.<br/><br/>When she glanced at Jiro again he was still composed and distant, like his form of address. Distant, though still polite. Whatever decision the letter called for could not be too dreadful or concern him, else surely he would be more insistent about delivering it.<br/><br/>With a deeper, shaky breath she turned her attention once more to the conversation and people around her, forcing memories of her brother into hiding.<br/>"

She so wanted to speak with her friend - she did not wish to invade her privacy but the pain that had reflected from Chiyu's eyes made Rina want to comfort the girl.

force could only bear this title in the loosest of terms.  Indeed there were few among the Empire that would have the boldness to give such a title to the structure.  Crude and unadorned the name barracks fell far short of the beautiful home given over to the samurai of the Minor Clans.  Lush gardens of blue, white and gold lay out before the eyes of the invited guests.  A small pond formed from the artificial creation of flowing streams stretched out before the abode with a small bridge set across.  Trees hung over the endearing image with a protective embrace to keep the guest cool and shaded on their entry.  Small koi danced beneath the water while the children of servants feed them and laughed at the splashes of water.<br/><br/>Once the samurai passed the children would fall to their knees.  Heads were pressed to the ground with their knees in the soft ground by the pond.  At the backs of the samurai were heard once more the laughs of ones too innocence to know the troubles of the world.  Inside they would find each room adorned with the same flowers from outside as if someone had brought the beauty of nature into every room.  Finely woven mats awaited each, rolled up away from the center of the room so that other activities could be done.  A small, coal brazier could be found in each room to keep the occupants room in case the past winter chill returned at night.  Children and those on the cusp of adulthood made their way through the rooms to ensure that the final arrangements were made.  Women were given a portion of the home away from the larger, male population.  Accessed by a single hallway, a maid knelt at the entry way in order to preserve the honor of the occupants.<br/><br/>The scent of food made its way through the household along with the boisterous noise of warriors dining.  At the commons room were a large number of warriors, mainly from the Mantis clan, enjoying the food prepared.  Steamed rice and nori made the stable fare with a side of broiled fish to compliment the choices.  Various condiments were used to season the food to the tastes of those seated.  Great pains were taken to ensure that everyone could find something to their liking.  Against one of the tables was a list of names with times for their duties to begin.  Each of those that had just entered would find their names posted on the list first and were now late to arrive to the merchant way.  Judging from the times, the Mantis had setup the schedule first.<br/><br/>The Merchant Way was a far less grand affair than the barracks.  Ponies and horses had tramped the ground to despair with pockets of manure set about to trip up unwary travelers, often alongside dents in the earth to force them to fall into such pockets.  The smell of sweat and horse flesh mixed with exotic spices and fabric to create a dizzying array of smells.  People rushed about in a myriad of ways, rushing into each other and giving only a cursory node to decorum.  Even the peasants gave only small bows and passing effort to kneel when they passed samurai.  Although warriors were still given a wide birth as was due their rank.<br/><br/>The Merchant Way was never an official part of the tournament until a good time after its creation.  Merchants had quickly understood the money that could be made at such an event and flocked here to sell their goods.  While the Crane had been quick to realize how much money could be made, the addition of other clans had forced them to provide land for the stalls along with security for the merchants.  Ashigaru had originally held the duty but as Major Clans took more interest in mercantile affairs, true samurai were needed to address their honor and position.  The Merchant Way was even separated with such a thing in mind.<br/><br/>Along the high ground, formed by a natural hill in the landscape, were the more established families.  Despite the feud between the Yasuki and the Crane, theirs was one of the more luxurious spots.  Around them were the Unicorn and Crane families that dedicated their lives to the art of trade.  Various other clans found their way along the pecking order till a break was given.  A good distance was provided until the peasant merchants could be found.  Those with the most money in their houses commanded the most space through bribes and intimidation with their guards.   That was of course the other problem with the Merchant Way, each family had their own guards to compete with the efforts of the Crane Clan.<br/><br/>The fighting was starting early this morning.  Ashigaru already restraining one man dressed in simple gray with a kama in his hand from attacking an older man who held a rake between his worn knuckles.  Both men cursed the other as they claimed dispute over the line of their stalls.  Judging from the banner that hung from their stalls, they were both family.<br/>"

Pretty much anything that paid her rent that week. She waited tables, walked dogs, washed cars and other jobs to keep her rent up.<br/>One particularly trying week, she went through a series of set backs that pushed her to the brink of breakdown. Her room mates moved out, leaving her place bear of almost everything she had owned, her car broke down, she lost 2 of her part time jobs and had three 'MUST do' jobs come up at nearly the same time. With out all three, she would be out on her ear. Drunk the night before, she passed out wishing that she could cover all three of the temp jobs since that would make her rent for the month.<br/>Waking up the next afternoon after a series of bizarre dreams where she seemed to be at all three acting jobs simultaneously, she was surprised to discover that she HAD gone to all three jobs at the same time. Her awareness grew as her 'forms', as she called her duplicate bodies, went through the actions needed to do the jobs. She had grown a form, which in turn formed two more and tucking her body in bed, gone out to do the jobs. She had found that while there was multiple bodies, her mind was a singular thing among them. She could grow a new 'form' from one body in a few hours and set it moving along easily.<br/>These days, she has three to five forms in LA, and typically spreads the rest over the acting circuit as needed. She has three duplicates doing a magic act in Las Vegas, with one form playing the mentalist while the other two select items from the audience. Another trio are working in San Francisco as dancers. She has a pair in NYC looking for jobs and doing research on the side about meta-human events. A single form is hidden away at a farm her grandfather owns in North Carolina, watching over her grandparents and doing research online on the sly. She has had one form die in an accident, and would prefer to avoid it if she can.<br/>Her agent, one of the few people 'in on it', has been wracking her brain on how to capitalize on this 'knack' of hers. One idea was to open a club solely hosted by her. Val has lost track of which form was 'the original' and tends to regard all her forms as being 'real'. Recently she realized that she could shift her form and heal faster. She can change her height/weight by as much as 35% but like creating a form, modifying one takes five hours of focusing and concentration. She thinks that her ability to heal faster, create forms and such are all tied to a metabolic process she hasn't quite mastered completely. The closest analog that she found in her research to date is the cancer tissues of Henrietta Lacks, which by this time quite out mass her original body. Needless to say she is considering, once she gets her funds above a certain level, creating a form to study biology and anatomy.<br/><br/><strong>Valeria Anne Dobson (Myriad)</strong><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Power Level: 8; Power Points Spent: 120/120<br/><br/><strong>STR:</strong> 12 (+1), <strong>DEX:</strong> 14 (+2), <strong>CON:</strong> 12 (+1), <strong>INT:</strong> 12 (+1), <strong>WIS:</strong> 12 (+1), <strong>CHA:</strong> 16 (+3)<br/>Tough: +1, Fort: +4, Ref: +5, Will: +4<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong>: Acrobatics 4 (+6), Bluff 4 (+7), Climb 2 (+3), Computers 2 (+3), Diplomacy 2 (+5), Disguise 4 (+7/+27), Drive 1 (+3), Gather Information 2 (+5), Investigate 2 (+3), Knowledge (popular culture) 2 (+3), Knowledge (streetwise) 2 (+3), Language 2 (+2), Notice 2 (+3), Perform (acting) 6 (+9), Perform (comedy) 6 (+9), Perform (dance) 3 (+6), Perform (singing) 3 (+6), Profession (Writer) 4 (+5), Search 1 (+2), Sense Motive 2 (+3), Stealth 2 (+4), Swim 2 (+3)<br/>Languages: English (Native), Japanese, Spanish<br/><br/><strong>Feats: </strong>Attack Focus (melee) 2, Attractive 2 (+8), Eidetic Memory, Improved Trip, Set-Up, Teamwork 3<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/>Duplication 8 (Heroic, Survival; Permanent; Mental Link, Progression, # Duplicates 4 (25 duplicates); Action (Power Use, 5 hours) 7)<br/>Immunity 1 (aging)<br/>Immunity 10 (mental effects)<br/>Morph 4 (morph: broad group - female humanoids only, +20 Disguise; Action (Power Use, 1 hour) 6)<br/>Regeneration 5 (recovery rate (bruised) 1 (recover 1 / round), recovery rate (disabled) 1 (recover 1 / 5 hours), recovery rate (injured) 1 (recover 1 / 20 mins), recovery rate (staggered) 1 (recover 1 / 20 mins), recovery rate (unconscious) 1 (recover 1 / round))<br/><br/>Attack Bonus: +4 (Ranged: +4, Melee: +6, Grapple: +7)<br/><strong>Attacks:</strong> Unarmed Attack, +6 (DC 16)<br/><strong>Defense:</strong> +6  (Flat-footed: +3), Knockback: +0<br/><strong>Initiative:</strong> +2<br/><br/>Totals: Abilities 18 + Skills 15 (60 ranks) + Feats 10 + Powers 48 + Combat 20 + Saves 9 + Drawbacks 0 = 120<br/></div></div><br/>(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RfXHqEgwZZI/TeG7yJbxZaI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/PfDfsz9b8Ps/s1600/dark-angel.jpg)(http://reddogreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Jessica-Alba.jpg)(http://www.mf08s.com/m/ent/uploadfile/201103/24/20110324124458763.jpg)<br/><br/>Locations:<br/>-Los Angeles: 13<br/>-Las Vegas: 0<br/>-New York City: 4<br/>-North Carolina: 1<br/>-San Francisco: 3<br/>Total: 21/25<br/>"

No I wont tell you my last name. I was just a simple college student going to a local community college, getting my credits out of the way. I never considered what I wanted to be when I grew up, so it was high time I started to decide. Fate decided for me. I went to the local park to relax and think, every friday. It became routine really. I had heard that some strange things were happening, but in this city, well the weird is to be expected here, and I didn't like watching the news. Too depressing and politics always had me upset. In any event, I leaned against a bench and closed my eyes for a moment. It was then I heard screams, and looked around me, was there an attack? But before I had any idea what was going on, an explosion rocked near me, and tossed my body several feet. However, instead of becoming a mangled and burned corpse, I was completely fine, and even stranger, a field of roses and briers surrounded me. I ran before anyone noticed me. <br/><br/>I soon found I had powers, just like these metas I had heard about shortly after. I was able to control plant life somewhat, as well as grow thorns from my body. I guess I became one of those super heroes I heard about...but I'm no here, I'm just a kid. And metas were becoming feared and experimented on. I soon had to hide my identity because my hair had also become green, making it prety obvious. I walk around in a heavy jacket with a hood underneath to hide my hair. But if I become threatened, I have a...somewhat untasteful shirt on, so I dont shred it...<br/><br/>I'm not going around saving the world, I try to help out in ways I can, but not risking myself. I fear there may be more to my future...but for now I play it safe.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Personality: Ada is shy and keeps to herself, but not afraid to do the right thing. Her condition makes her extremely nervous and she'll hesitate before doing anything drastic. She has a hidden side under her that can make her prone to some explosive tantrums, but lately she has kept it in check. While her shirt would suggest she flaunts her body, it is used only as a necessity. She'd rather keep her jacket on.<br/><br/></div></div><br/>Apperance<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> She's going to be a tad younger (think 20) and will be wearing a heavier jacket with a hood  and underneath her heavy jacket/hood (She likes to hide her green hair when in public) she wears a backless and sleeveless top so that she doesn't rip up her clothing when she summons her thorns from her body.<br/><br/>(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a29/Thorn14/hero.jpg)<br/><br/>What her outfit is under her jacket (she takes off the jacket in battle)<br/><br/>(http://images.asos.com/inv/media/8/5/6/6/1376658/black/image1xxl.jpg)<br/><br/></div></div>"

In some ways, there is no evidence he existed before the power awakenings of 2012. And yet in other ways signs point to him being present at dozens of historical events. Picture above appears to be a thinly disguised Paradox present at the New York V-E Day Parade in 1945. Photographs and witness accounts also seem to put people that could be Paradox at Woodstock, the Sinking of the Titanic, the Hindenburg disaster, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the fall of the Berlin Wall, there's even a suspicious looking image on a Frescoe at Pompeii.<br/><br/>Paradox claims this isn't a coincidence. He claims he was released from the cloning vats in the late 2250's, where the existence of superhuman abilities are pretty much the only break humanity will catch in the next 300 years of human history. Our time period will apparently be remembered as 'Ragnarok Highway' culminating in the 'Half Hour War' of 2074. By the 2280's the human race is all but extinct, and would be if it wasn't for cloning technology. The vast majority of the people alive in 2280 have super-powers, but an even greater majority are completely sterile. J7's power was seen as a godsend in it's own way. J7 has a superhuman resistance to atomic radiation and as a result was the only person in 2280 who could survive the physical demands of Time Travel.<br/><br/>And, according to him, that's what he's been doing. Attempting to create new time-lines where the war never happened and the human race was never pushed to the edge of extinction but in which Cloning Technology and a rough form of Time Travel were still both developed by the 2280's. But ultimately, he failed- returning to a timeline where a this time much less experienced technician accidently set off an explosion in the prototype time machine. He took his own machine back one more time, back before the War before the machine was deleted from the time-line entirely.<br/><br/>Something about the initial quantum surge of the Awakening had set up a sort of temporal speed trap. The Time Machine crash landed in 18:42 of December 23, 2012- between the ticks of a second. J7 himself ""walked"" from the crash, his connection to the normal flow of time now loose at best. But now that he isn't part of normal time anymore, he may be immune to temporal paradoxes- and now that he no longer has to worry about that, this could make his mission  to prevent the war success after all.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong>12 PP<br/>STR 10 (+0)<br/>DEX 16 (+3)<br/>CON 12 (+1)<br/>INT 14 (+2)<br/>WIS 10 (+0)<br/>CHA 10 (+0)<br/><br/><strong>Saves:</strong>18 PP<br/>Fort: +7 (6 PP)<br/>Reflex: +9 (6 PP)<br/>Will: +6 (6 PP)<br/><br/><strong>Combat:</strong>28 PP<br/>Tough: +8, 7 Imp<br/>Attack: +7 (14 PP)<br/>Defense: +7 (14 PP)<br/>Grapple:+7<br/>Init: +17<br/>Carrying Capacity: 10<br/><br/><strong>Skills:</strong>19 PP<br/>Acrobatics 4 (+7)<br/>Bluff 8 (+9)<br/>Concentration 8 (+8)<br/>Computers 8 (+9)<br/>Craft (Electrical) 8 (+9)<br/>Craft (Mechanical) 8 (+9)<br/>Knowledge (History) 8 (+9)<br/>Knowledge (Physical Science) 8 (+9)<br/>Knowledge (Technology) 8 (+9)<br/>Notice 8 (+8)<br/>Search 8 (+8)<br/><br/><strong>Feats:</strong>6 PP<br/>Evasion<br/>Fast Overrun<br/>Improvised Tools<br/>Instant Up<br/>Inventor<br/>Move-by Action<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong>44 PP<br/>Device (Hard to Lose) Rank 4<br/>Effect: General<br/>Range: Personal<br/>Action: Reaction<br/>Duration: Continuous<br/>Cost: 16 PP [20 PP for Contruction]<br/>J7's pilot suit for the time machine was built with the best smart clothing designs of the late 2280's.

While making a gonzo video at an actor/director's house, she had an orgasm and suddenly transformed into a massive male gorilla. The director understandably panicked and grabbed a handgun from a drawer. Before he could take a shot, the ape mauled him to death. The huge beast then watched the video and masturbated, transforming back into Eva X after shooting his wad. Aware of what had just transpired, she quickly destroyed the tape and fled the house, removing any evidence of having been there.<br/><br/>That night Eva had an intense sexual dream and fingered herself while she slept. Soon she triggered another transformation and the gorilla was free to roam the streets of LA. Eventually Eva returned, finding herself naked in an alley near an unconscious crack whore the ape had just raped and beaten. Not exactly an overly virtuous person herself, Eva stole the whore's clothes and made her way home.<br/><br/>So far the police and media are stumped.

(http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=375255)<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/><br/>Born on a Sunday in the happy year of 1990, Coral was a gentle, inquisitive child, pretty, and unaffected.<br/><br/>If she'd been another girl, she might have fit well with some click of the pretty and popular, but in school she tended to focus too much on her studies.<br/><br/>Still, her personal skills were not neglected, and her parents made certain she had a wide range of experience.    Her father taught her that people in the modern age were too specialized, and gave her a love of finding out new things, and learning new skills.<br/><br/>Her mother taught her to charm and influence the people around her into getting what she wanted.<br/><br/>She neglected neither education, even after her parents divorce in 1993.  Her mother moved into a nude, gay community in Guernville California, and every summer Coral found the gentle attitudes of the group very refreshing, especially compared to the stressed out engineers and scientists her father hung around.<br/><br/>She became a girl scout, and took extra time each year helping out with the local ranger wildlife projects, she built model planes and became a amateur ham operator.<br/><br/>She was a girl from a small town, but with a University nearby, so when the time came, she went into it, expecting great things.<br/><br/>Halfway through an electronics  degree, (after wasting a year in law enforcement, a passing fad) she found herself acing her final exam... she had been puzzling over a particularly hard problem, and had been staring at the back of the head of the class genius... and the answer had popped into her head.<br/><br/>Days later, she realized she could read minds.<br/><br/>A few days later, when making out with a young rebellious  fellow passing through, she had read his internal desire to see a few of the snobbish socialites have a wardrobe malfunction... and she'd made it happen.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">story</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Coral was finding, more and more, that the internal hypocrisy the people around her... especially her fellow college students and their teachers... too be incredibly annoying. <br/><br/>Then she met Rod.  Rod was a rebel.  Even in his own mind, which was quite refreshing.<br/><br/>Coral knew that she was a temporary thing in his life... because he told her so, point blank... and his mind confirmed it.<br/><br/>So she was enjoying a brief, exciting fling, with no consequences.  It was unlike anything she'd have dared before... but she could see that inside, Rod was safe.  Not willing to settle down, but a nice person... though not willing to conform to society's conventions.<br/><br/>She'd been seeing him for almost a week, and she knew his attention was already wandering.  She didn't mind.  She'd started getting slightly bored with him as well.<br/><br/>So when Shelly and her social circle of upper class college snobs came by in their tiny little dresses and their stuck up attitudes to sneer at him, and her for associating with him...<br/><br/>Well, as they left, a wind came up, and she 'heard' Rod imagining the gaggle of girls having a series of wardrobe malfunctions.  She had privately agreed in her own mind that it would be amusing... when it happened, nearly as he had imagined it.<br/><br/>Rod was startled.  The girls were startled, and rapidly adjusted themselves.<br/><br/>Coral was not startled.  Somehow she was aware of her hand in the affair, though there had been no other sign of it.<br/><br/>From perusing web sites and comic books over the next few days, she had decided that she must be telekinetic, as well as telepathic... though unlike the comic books, there were no fancy lights or other demonstrations of her power.<br/><br/>She wondered if this was because her only previous knowledge of telekinesis had come from the Disney Movie, Escape to Witch Mountain.</div></div><br/>Rod moved on the next day.  (With Shelly in fact.)<br/><br/>Coral didn't care.  Exploring her own expanding powers was suddenly much more interesting.<br/><br/>So, she practiced in private, and she followed all the news stories about the appearance of Paranormals...<br/><br/>And then started listening more carefully to her father's friends.... who were speaking about the news with less than complimentary voices.<br/><br/>And one was thinking about his job, at the new PSI facility.<br/><br/>And suddenly she was scared.  Because his thoughts about his new job were, frankly scary, and he knew barely anything.<br/><br/>Time... she decided, she checked out that building herself, before someone from PSI was knocking on her door."

Yes, her class rep got tired of warning her for not following the student dress code.<br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong> Sarah Masuyo<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong> 19<br/><br/><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> A tough girl who learnt how to endure harsh situations. On the surface, she´s a easy going, trustworthy kind of person (until someone mess with her). But, in reality, she avoids to have a deep connection with people. She loves sex and think about it as a nice ""hobby"". If a boy is attractive enough and she´s in the mood, why not? Besides, she have an exhibitionist side and likes to tease boys with her body. <br/><br/><strong>Limits:</strong> Scat/Watersports, mutilation, bondage or anything else on my Off´s.<br/><br/><strong>Bio:</strong> Her past is kinda tragic. Her father, an american, is a guitarrist who signed a contract and traveled to Japan to play in a rock band, only to discover he was deceived. Once there with no money, he started to work in a car repair shop. That´s when he met Sarah´s mother and they started a relationship. In the first year, things went pretty well. Sarah´s Dad even opened his own repair shop with his brother-in-law. But, even with a better life, he still dreamed with his own band, fame and success. <br/><br/>After two years, Sarah was born and, soon after that, their parent´s relationship started to get troublesome. For Sarah, they were good parents. Her father was her hero and didn´t take too much for her to absorb his passions: motorcycles and guitars. When she was a kid, she spent many nights with her father, seeing him working on his clients´ vehicles and his beloved motorcycle. <br/><br/>When she was 12, she rode for the first time in her dad´s bike. She couldn´t forget the amazing sensation of freedom, the adrenalin flowing in her blood. It became an addiction to her, a way to forget her problems, specially when her parents where fighting. Things between her dad and mom only grew worse. They never tell her why they fought so much. But Sarah knew her dad still dreamed about that band. And she knew he blamed her and her mom for his failure, even if he never said anything to her.<br/><br/>When she was 16, the worst happened. One day, when she was coming home, there was a couple of police cars, their red and blue lights dancing in front of her house. Her uncle came running to her side, crying and saying to not enter the house. She saw her dad in the back seat of the police car. His lips moving, saying ""It wasn´t me."" But for the police, the case was conclusive: her dad killed her mom with three knife stabs, and there was no proof that someone else was in the house too, like her dad kept testifying. But his prints were on the knife.<br/><br/>For Sarah, her father was dead. Sarah was a bit dead too, never truly trusting anyone again. She started to work with her uncle in the repair shop, in her spare time. During the night time, she always took he dad´s bike and started to rode with it, in top speed. Running wildly, putting her life in danger, seemed to be the only way to feel alive again. Didn't took too much time for her to meet people who organized ilegal races. Her talent spoke louder than her age and then, there she was, running among them for money and getting involved in fights and other troubles. Meanwhile, her school life was a bit messy. Always getting late in classes, failing at tests, caught doing sex in school, the list was only getting bigger and bigger. In the year she was reproved, the only discipline she was ok was P.E. because she was part of the school running club.<br/><br/>Now it seems she finally got a balance in her two lifes. She sold her dad´s bike and bought a new, better one to compete in the ilegal races  (she is still paying for it, though).

Although he is a modestly good member of the Kendo team, he is known around school for consecutively being in the top five of his class every semester since his first year. He is easily one of the most intelligent kids at the school, though this causes him to distance himself from others.<br/><br/>Still, he is known to go out of his way to help out the first years, or anybody that looks like they really need a hand with something. Bullying pisses him off, because he was, himself, bullied in middle school.<br/>Limits: Scat/watersports, mutilation, anal/oral penetration. Anything else one can find in my Ons/Offs.<br/>Bio: Shine's parents were killed in a car accident very early on in his life; he can't even remember them. He was raised, instead, by his uncle, a Buddhist monk named Mutatsu.<br/><br/>Mutatsu has always done wonders to encourage the child's intellectual and spiritual development, but like his father and mother both, he is possessed of a naturally strong will and independent streak. Rather than lashing out in rebellion at Mutatsu's teachings, he has simply accepted them into an unorthodox personal code of conduct, which he strictly adheres to.<br/><br/><br/>Being the victim of bullies in middle school, he became determined to build up his confidence and physical strength, so that he could keep himself safe. He was successful at this, and eventually, what started off as just the will to protect himself, became the desire to protect others from the same jerks that made his life difficult.<br/><br/>He has consistently placed well in testing, often being in the top three of his class (when not being<em>the</em>top of his class), and because of this, he has some renown amongst the school, due to his academic prowess.<br/><br/>He joined the Kendo club, and has been active in it since his first year in the school. His talents haven't really developed all that much, and unfortunately, he's only so-so at it. Still, he persists in it, finding that the exercise is good for keeping him in shape, and just finding something naturally calming about the routine of practice.<br/><br/>His current worries, as the game begins, are limited to simply figuring out which college he wishes to attend to when he graduates high school. Being so academically gifted, he has quite a few choices available to him, even scholarships.<br/>Character Sheet: http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/16389 (http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/16389)<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Moral Code</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Act with Rightness</strong> Do not choose those paths that are easiest or most acceptable; always tread the path that is proper and morally correct, regardless of the difficulty involved. <br/><strong>Act with Courage</strong> Fear is the shadow self, and it must remained suppressed.

His well-known face in combination with an adept display of his skill does strike a rather cutting display of power, which seemed to impress Claire. After a few moments, the knight's steel-bound arm raised a fist and then a thumbs-up for gratitude, a short gesture of courtesy before the black claws returned to grasp the rather plain iron lance.<br/><br/>Claire's body shifted as Tin-Man took an unnecessarily defensive state, waiting for the enemy counterattack to begin. There wasn't any sign of a sigh that his armor weighs him down too much to take a more aggressive plan towards the enemy, but there wasn't any sign of pride that his suit was not even nicked from the Myrmidon's smarmy slices either. His attention is clearly focused on the three enemies in front of him, and he was either completely taken up with the prospect of driving them off the land or is a very disciplined knight, as the magnetic and hypnotizing dancer had little to no effect on his fighting. That miss was all him.<br/><br/>Alternatively, the field of view of his helmet is mercilessly tiny, as dedicated bodyguard Claire's lance dropped into the dirt floor unceremoniously when his head turned towards Maribelle's direction. Maybe to check out what had captivated the bandits so much. In an uncharacteristic farce, the valiant knight quickly knelt to grab his weapon off the dirt road before some yokel has the bright idea to snatch it away from right under his nose.

If his intent was to fool the enemy and make a rush to assault Lady Laplace while their guard is down, then it would have been far simpler to just fly over their heads and pick her off. And at the moment, there was not much else he could do if this so-proclaimed ally of justice had indeed turned out to be a disguised wolf.<br/><br/>Claire's own lengthy train of thought was interrupted by Aurich and the mage settling another myrmidon's business in this world, with the former pursuing their superior right away. At least once this last bandit is cared for, the immediate area would be free of danger. Claire followed suit and sought to tear another hole in the mercenary whilst he was still stumbling from the other lance's effects.<br/><br/>Maybe it was a bit of an overkill, as Claire made a running start to lunge and promptly landed in front of the mercenary. The ordeal was too successful. The knight's lance did create a new hole in the mercenary's chest for his lungs to gather air from. The momentum from the rush and Claire's own two-handed push had broken through the thin slice of iron and did their proper, brutal damage to the flesh underneath.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">OOC</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Gonna try to tone this down.<br/><br/>Activated personal skills:<br/><strong>Hold the ****ing Line!</strong> - Claire is a knight bent on dedicating the **** out of his life to defending a cause. / If the character is within 3 spaces of Allied Units, +2 Defense / Resistance<br/>Under effect of:<br/><strong>Maribelle/Charisma</strong> - +10 Evasion/Hit within 3 spaces of Maribelle!<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">nerdy calculations</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">86(base)+10(charisma)+15(bonus)-12(merc eva)+5(aurich daunt) = 104! autohit!<br/>12(base)+1(bonus)-2(merc defense) = 11 damage done to k10 merc!<br/></div></div><br/>Claire moves 1E to K9 and kills the Mercenary at K10.

While the bodyguard of Laplace maintained his focus inside the chaos that had begun, the steady stance that anticipated an incoming assault struggled to mask the knight's fears. The line wasn't broken, but rather, it was maintained in spots by the less-armored members of their cavalcade. Which is also pretty poor. If that damnable beggar or their mage falls in combat, then his Lady and the dancer would be in grave danger.<br/><br/>According to the soldier in front of him, though, Claire should worry more about himself than his teammates. It wasn't a thought communicated by telepathy or waves of sound, but by the universal language of violence. A clean, neat thrust of a spear was aimed at the knight's head, meaning to take it off or perhaps an eye. Unlike others though, the assault succeeded in striking a deep cut in to the helmet's armor before glancing off in a scream of white sparks. Grimly, the knight repaid the considerate memento mori by a quick, uncivilized jab of the spear's blunt end to the soldier's stomach. It didn't finish the fight, but it killed the wind out of him and gave the bodyguard an appropriate amount of breathing room from the overeager attack.<br/><br/>It was rather worrying, but Claire wasn't able to find Ysena or Valerie in the clearing around them; Perhaps they had gone off to flank the group, which would sorely be needed.  It seemed that Ashton was not doing so well either.

They made her study theo… ology and meta… something, but once she learned the rotes the instructors seemed satisfied even if she obviously failed to grasp much of the meaning.  Ashlyn was very good at rote.<br/><br/>Mastery of rote helped with the instructors, and a desire to please and a strong back and natural athletic ability helped Ashlyn fit in with her fellow warriors.  Her fellows respected her skill at arms and shielded her from the need to speak to outsiders and they teased her less than had the kids back in Parkeville. For the most part she seemed happy with her position even after Marguette stopped visiting.<br/><br/>The young paladin was fuzzy on the details of how she ended up in the audience chamber in answer to a call for adventurers, but it must be something important or she wouldn't be there.<br/>"

Someone to gather information, deal with unknown issues, and discover what to do when things take a turn for the worse. All in the name of a nation, creed, idea, or faith. Aaric discovered that people like this existed and wanted nothing more then to be like that.<br/><br/>Brought up in Kaerlud with his farther and mother. He learned the family trade quickly. His father being a pickpocket  and his mother a high end courtesan. His hands and words were trained well.  With his upbringing he lived very well, as much one can be within a brothel, and he became fascinated by the people he met and saw.<br/><br/>Lower class to upper class came and went within the establishment and he picked up bits of information from person to person. He noticed the weave of lies people took great pains to conceal and the gems they careless left within grasp of a roaming hand.<br/><br/>During a typical day he tended the tables and rooms of the establishment while at night he worked with his father. Bringing in the coin that some didn't think they had to pay for. Anyone that dealt with his mother in poor fashion he was quick remember and dealt with within the week.<br/><br/>Years came and went and his father was sadly stuck down my the flu, unable to pay the outrageous prices the clergy wanted for a cure. His mother retired to a stone house within the upper class district of the city. Having made enough connections throughout life to live peacefully. This left Aaric to his own devices and it was then that he discovered the nightlife of the city had it's own people that came and went.<br/><br/>Thieves, murders, blackmarket merchants, information brokers, and best of all women. Everything an aspiring young man would find terribly exciting. He dove into the night world and quickly became a local name in some districts within Kaerlud. He worked for local merchants that wanted a problem dealt with or competitor that needed to have a shipment not show up. It was good work and Aaric did a good job at keeping his hands clean when the local militia came up.<br/><br/>Hell if your hands were to be chopped off or your tongue cut out you made yourself a ghost till things calmed down. Everything was going well until the miracle came to town. The blackmarket merchants went nuts. Everyone who was anyone had to know what was going on within that building or how such a thing could happen. Aaric was interested as well but he didn't touch things were gods could come into the equation.<br/><br/>It wasn't until his local companions started to act off that he took a more personal interest. This church was going to do something that didn't sit right with him. It was changing his world and that of everyone within the city. He had to find out what was going on. Upon hearing that the government was getting involved he decided that it was best he go help. He needed a few things cleared up so he would hang from a noose within the month anyways.<br/>"

The GM suggested I post it here.<br/><br/>Out-of-Character because the young noblewoman (perhaps even an incognito princess!) was *very* discrete in her comings and goings, and there is no possibility of in-character knowledge by others.<br/><br/>Note:  edited to add pictures!<br/><hr/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://yesiroleplay.webs.com/images/muscular-blonde.jpg)</div>""Marguette!  Hello!"" Ashlyn's square-jawed face split with a wide grin.<br/><br/>The darkly radiant girl smiled back while placing a manicured finger over the warrior's lips. ""Shhh.  Someone might hear you.""<br/><br/>Replying with a silent nod while watching the pretty noble girl intently, the muscular woman stepped off of the mat where she'd been performing her nightly exercise and turned to fully face her visitor.  Suddenly, an arm's length distance became an intimate proximity.<br/><br/>The courtly beauty was not unaware of the nearness of her broadly-muscled, perspiration-damp companion, nor did she fail to note the roughly capable hands now resting with feather-light weight upon her own flaring hips.  ""You have to listen to me Ashlyn, this is very important. "" She spoke as if rebutting an interruption, tough nothing except her own reactions delayed her from delivering her message.<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://yesiroleplay.webs.com/images/margurette.jpg)<br/></div>The big blonde warrior nodded solemn acceptance, and waited patiently for her companion to continue.  The raven-haired coquette sighed at the silent reply and her blue eyes flash nervously around the room as she considered her next words.  Ashlyn had many admirable qualities, foremost among them loyalty.  But she was very... literal.  ""There's a...""  no, she couldn't say conspiracy, she'd be half the night explaining what that was.  Plotting or conspiracy or even forethought weren't really within the physically-oriented woman's understanding.<br/><br/>""Bad people want you to fail.""  She finally declared, trying very hard to ignore the warm comfort she drew from the rapt attention and the raw physical presence of the simple warrior.<br/><br/>""You'll outfox them!""  Ashlyn replied with flattering certainty, her thick fingers now curled behind soft hips, digging into noble flesh in crude and deliciously forward manner.  ""No one's smarter than you!""<br/><br/>The blonde woman was a rock!  She was solid and loyal and a natural warrior and oh so powerful.  Oh so very powerful.  The breathless beauty dropped her azure gaze from granite-jawed but lovely face to shoulders that were wider than those of most smiths.  Ashlyn was in her nightshift, and her arms were bare.  They were such strong arms, darkly tanned and lightly scarred and mildly bruised from the last few days of trial and contest.  They contrasted sharply with the soft, silken white of the hands Margurette rested near the warrior's elbows, the left holding loosely around a massive bicep, the right up-tilted as she traced a painted nail along the outline of a faded but nasty-looking bruise.  She wondered when she had placed her hands there.  Perhaps when Ashlyn first stepped close and gripped with her rough warrior's hands.<br/><br/>She longed to be held inside these superbly muscled arms.  Arms that shielded and protected, but most importantly comforted.  When Ashlyn held her, the world seemed almost as simple to Marguette as the warrior saw it.  She sighed, and lifted her hand from the bruise to brush at the corner of a tear-bright blue eye.<br/><br/>""You're sad!""  Ashlyn spoke quietly, not forgetting her instructions for silence, but driven to speak by the real concern inflecting her husky whisper.  ""Don't be sad Margurette.""  Ashlyn instructed with simplistic self-assurance.  ""You're too pretty to be sad.""  And then she wrapped her arms around her friend and hugged her tight.<br/><br/>The comfort the noblewoman drew from the sudden fierce hug was profound.  Illusionary as the feeling was, she felt protected.  She felt safe in those arms. She wasn't in control of anything in her life, except that she held the unquestioning love and loyalty of this warrior.  She sighed and melted into the strong embrace, her relatively small, supple body slipping naturally and perfectly inside an iron-strong ring of guileless muscle. They stood for long and long there, held and being held, dark head on fair shoulder.<br/><br/>But she came here to warn Ashlyn, and she'd best get to the task.  With a regretful sigh, she drew back from that broad shoulder, her supple back arching up from the coil of muscular arm pressed firmly along the line of her hips.  Turning her face up to address her companion, she was met with a kiss before she could speak. It was a kiss pure in its simplicity, powerful and direct.  The stunning noble beauty stiffened in momentary protest, pushing weakly into the warrior's flexing biceps to hold herself back from the inevitable, but their lips met and soon she was kissing back, her arms wrapped loosely and then tightly around the warrior-woman's corded neck.  The brightest belle of the royal court hung off the stout peasant warrior, taking comfort from simple strength as they kissed with rising passion and urgency.<br/><br/>Hours later and several carefully-navigated corridors away, the freshly and quite thoroughly fucked princess realized she hadn't told Ashlyn anything about the conspiracy at all.  Damn.<br/><br/><br/>"

stout of heart to come to the aid of the King.  Of course, it wasn’t the King himself who had made the call, but his Royal Council, although they had done so with his permission.  By now, it was well known throughout the land that<em>something</em>had gone terribly wrong, and that the government, and even the churches to a lesser extent, were in a near panic about it all.<br/><br/>The call had been answered.  Hundreds of men and women aiming to prove themselves to the kingdom, and perhaps earn themselves some freedom from their daily lives.  Over the past three weeks, the testing and winnowing has proceeded.  Day after day the hundreds being weeded out, some leaving for infirmity, some being cast out because they were unable to present sufficient skill at arms.  Knowledge of the land, skills of use, and to a certain extent, some backgrounds were even looked into (One of the competitors for the job had turned out to be a semi-notorious murderer and had been hanged the day after he arrived for testing).  After the not terribly strenuous, but definitely arduous testing, there remained four.<br/><br/>By the time the four are ushered into the chamber of the Royal Council to be advised of the exact specifics of their mission, it was well into late afternoon.  The people of Kaerlud would be sitting to evening meal soon, and then before the dark closed in around them, they would lock up their doors and windows, utter their usual night time blessings to keep the night out, and pray that the city guard did their job once again.  The room was quiet, where it had not been for days, what with the clamor of swirling nobles and would-be adventurers.  Now, it was the five councilmen, the four chosen adventurers, and the King himself.<br/><br/>The four were lined up before the council table, slightly off to the side from the king’s dais, and not at all facing the monarch, who sat silent, shadowed, and brooding on his throne, watching the proceedings with fingers steepled before his face.  From time to time, while the four waited, advisors would rustle their way out of the darkness beyond, whisper into the King’s ear, and disappear again, a constant stream of information being fed to the man in whose hands the fate of the Realm rested.  Beneath the dais they stood, facing the council of five, the King’s most trusted advisors.  All old men who had excelled in their fields, and had been asked by the people of Kaerlud to assist the monarch with that expertise.  Now, they served as his mouthpiece when dealing with the public, and those that were beneath his need to interact with them, such as now.<br/><br/>The council concluded their private discussions, and turned their attentions to the party at hand.  Only one spoke, the eldest and most powerful of them all.<strong>“You four have been selected, for various reasons, to assist the government with your actions.  Tomorrow, you four will head out to discover what has transpired in the village of West Fenton.  You are to be provided with a map, to ease your travels.”</strong>He stood from the table, and gestured to the pages at the door, bringing them forward to place a smallish chest upon the council table.<strong>”You will also find some items that the council has deemed you may require for your travels.  In the morning, you are to proceed along the Westroad towards Moorsedge.  From there, travel north by northwest and you will come to the village of West Fenton.  You will discover what has occurred, and you will report back to us.  In total, the journey should take you just under a week to get there, with three days to Moorsedge, and then three more to West Fenton.  We will expect a report in a fortnight.  That being said, we will not hamper your abilities to pursue an investigation, if one becomes necessary.  Within the chest, you will find three scrolls of parchment.  Each has been craefted by the royal wizard such that any missive writ upon them before they are burned will be immediately transferred to a book in his possession.  Should you decide that it would be more beneficial to pursue a quarry elsewhere rather than returning to Kaerlud to report your findings, you will use one of the scrolls, and advise us.”</strong><br/><br/>The chest was opened to reveal a small velvet pillow, upon which sat a number of scrolls of parchment, each tied in different colours of ribbon to set them apart from each other.<strong>”You will also find a writ from the Council excusing you from the law of peacebonding while on the King’s Highways for so long as you carry the letter, and are in the service of the King.  Lastly, there is a missive there, which you can deliver to any Church of the Land, and they will provide you with what miracles you might require, in exchange for it.”</strong><br/><br/>The pillow was brought out of the chest and set onto the table.  They would be allowed to plunder it for its riches as soon as the interview was over.  With a final sweep of his sleeves, the head councilman gestured once again, indicating the door.<strong>”Rooms have been prepared for you here, and you will depart with the dawn.  His majesty thanks you for your service, and good luck.”</strong>There was not to be a question and answer period.  They were not here to interrogate the king, nor second guess the council.  They were here to do a job.<br/><br/>The king left first, departing with a clank of the steel armor he wore in public, and a soft swishing of fabric on stone.  The council left next, without a single additional glance at the four they had chosen to represent them.  Finally, the four were alone with the guards in the corners, and the pillow of ribboned scrolls on the table."

Get into the testing grounds, learn a few friendly faces, figure out what was going on and then sell it back to the crown. Simple, right? No. Jim, the bloody bastard, came with him. Thinking that his, ""nightlife"" wouldn't get him into trouble. Jim had even joked that they would be in and out without any trouble at all and be back in time to deal with some whore in the back alley. But Mark the smith knew who and what Jim was and fed Jim to the wolves the day after the test started. Poor Jim. Fucking bastard got what was coming to him but still. Jim at least should of had the chance to run. The image of Jim hanging from the rope crossed his mind briefly. He himself wouldn't ever let that happen. Backed into a corner without a way out. Oh no. This little fox was going to always have a way out. Now if these cute little hens he was going to be traveling with did a few things for him, or even with him, at night, or together.....<br/><br/>He shook his head lightly to clear his thoughts, women, no matter what, were distractions. The kings advisers were speak and informed the four of them about their task. Things have to be bad when the king is asking commonfolk, like himself, and local witches and wizards for aid. No surprise that a holy warrior was tossed into the mix. ""Guess Fae are roaming about now."" he muttered. He let his mind return to the adviser words and his eyes lit up at the parchment allow him to break the peace, legally. He could have some fun with that it if wasn't for the pile of wealth within the chest.<br/><br/>His mind rapidly came up with a number of questions to ask but the advisers seemed to be in a hurry and they left the room in short order. The firepot girl was the first to move. Showing her willingness to work with the king. Quiet girl, smart, he guessed, and knew something about crafting death in a portable container. She was the first to get her scroll. A thought crossed him mind just then. Funny only three scrolls to write back to the wizard and four of them. Guess he was the odd man out, Literally.<br/><br/>Using both his hands he gestured towards the chest and its scrolls. ""Ladies first, madams."" he said as politely as he could. Best to see them once more, from both angles. Cause he wouldn't let them get within arms reach when he was on the road.  Smiling as nicely as he could he even took a step off to the side to allow them to easily get past him. He'd get his scroll soon enough."

BOOST A DIE ROLL</strong><br/>A character may spend 1 action die to boost each attack check,<br/>skill check, Knowledge check, or saving throw he makes. He may<br/>also spend 1 action die to boost each of his lethal, stress, or subdual<br/>damage results. The choice to boost may be made after the dice<br/>are rolled, so long as the outcome has not yet been described.<br/>When boosting, an action die “explodes” when it rolls the<br/>highest natural number possible (e.g. a 4 on a d4). The player<br/>rolls the action die again, adding the new result to the previous<br/>one. An action die may explode multiple times, resulting in an<br/>extremely high boost.<br/><br/>Example: Brungil rolls a 4 on a d4 action die. He rolls it again,<br/>getting a 4, and a third time getting a 2. The total boost is 10.<br/><br/>An action die may only be spent to boost a check or result<br/>when dice are rolled. Thus, a character may not boost a skill<br/>check when he takes 10 or 20.<br/><br/><strong>2. BOOST YOUR DEFENSE</strong><br/>At the start of any combat round, a character may spend<br/>1 action die to boost his Defense by 2 for a number of rounds<br/>equal to the die’s result. This action die may explode as described<br/>in Option 1. A character may only benefit from one action die<br/>boost to Defense at any time and the result of a new die spent to<br/>boost Defense replaces the old one, even if it’s lower.<br/><br/><strong>3. ACTIVATE A THREAT</strong><br/>When a character scores a threat with an attack or skill<br/>check, he may spend 1 or more action dice to activate it as a<br/>critical hit or success (see pages 207 and 65, respectively). The<br/>choice to activate must be made before additional (e.g. damage)<br/>dice are rolled and/or the outcome is described.<br/><br/><strong>4. ACTIVATE AN OPPONENT’S ERROR</strong><br/>When an opponent within a character’s line of sight suffers<br/>an error with an attack or skill check, the character may spend 1<br/>or more action dice to activate it as a critical miss or failure (see<br/>pages 208 and 65). The choice to activate must be made before<br/>additional dice are rolled and/or the outcome is described.<br/><strong><br/>5. HEAL YOUR CHARACTER</strong><br/>This option is covered in Chapter 5: Combat (see page 212).<br/><br/><br/><br/>"

If the result equals or exceeds the attempt’s<br/>Difficulty Class or “DC” (which generally falls between 10 for<br/>a relatively simple action and 60 for an extremely tricky one),<br/>the character succeeds; otherwise, he fails. A character may only<br/>retry a failed check when the GM determines it’s plausible (e.g.<br/>retrying an Acrobatics check to jump at a tournament might be<br/>fine, but leaping across a chasm doesn’t offer much chance for a<br/>fresh effort).<br/><br/><strong>UNTRAINED SKILL USE</strong><br/>A character with no ranks in a skill is considered “untrained.”<br/>He may attempt checks with the skill but his result cannot exceed<br/>15 and his error range increases by 2.<br/><br/><strong>Skill Name</strong>|<strong>Key Attribute</strong><br/><br/>Acrobatics                               Dex<br/><hr/>Athletics                                  Str<br/><hr/>Blend                                      Cha<br/><hr/>Bluff                                        Cha<br/><hr/>Crafting                                   Int<br/><hr/>Disguise                                  Cha<br/><hr/>Haggle                                    Wis<br/><hr/>Impress                                  Cha<br/><hr/>Intimidate                               Wis / Str<br/><hr/>Investigate                             Wis<br/><hr/>Medicine                                  Int<br/><hr/>Notice                                     Wis<br/><hr/>Prestidigitation                       Dex<br/><hr/>Resolve                                  Con<br/><hr/>Ride                                        Dex<br/><hr/>Search                                    Int<br/><hr/>Sense Motive                          Wis<br/><hr/>Sneak                                     Dex<br/><hr/>Survival                                  Wis<br/><hr/>Tactics                                    Int<br/><hr/><br/><strong>TAKING 10 AND TAKING 20</strong><br/>Sometimes a character doesn’t want to chance failure so he<br/>takes his time. In this case he can “take 10,” which requires twice<br/>the normal time. He does not roll 1d20 when making the skill<br/>check; instead, his result is calculated as if he’d rolled a natural 10.<br/><br/><em>Example: Lorelei has an Acrobatics skill bonus of +8 and<br/>faces a jump with a DC of 15. She chooses to take twice as long<br/>to set her result to 18 and automatically succeed.</em><br/><br/>Alternately, a character might have all the time in the world<br/>and want to take advantage of it. In this case he can “take 20,” which<br/>requires twenty times the normal time. As with taking 10 there is<br/>no roll; the result is calculated as if he’d rolled a natural 20.<br/><em><br/>Example: Lorelei has a meager Impress skill bonus of +4<br/>when she finds herself fortuitously snowed in at a prince’s home.<br/>She decides to take her time wooing him, taking 20 for a total<br/>result of 24. With any luck it’s high enough to turn his head.</em><br/><br/>In both cases there was no roll, so the character may not<br/>spend an action die to boost the result. Also, a character taking<br/>10 or 20 may not score a threat nor be activated as a critical<br/>success.<br/><br/>A character may not take 10 or 20 when distracted or<br/>endangered, nor may he do so when the GM determines that the<br/>element of chance is unavoidable. This option is also unavailable<br/>when making opposed, cooperative, and team checks (see page<br/>66).<br/><br/><strong>MULTI-TASKING</strong><br/>Sometimes a character must split his attention between<br/>multiple skill attempts — stabilizing a wounded friend while<br/>balancing on a precarious surface, for instance, or scanning a<br/>house for clues while listening for signs that the owner is lying to<br/>him. A character may split his attention between no more than<br/>two skill checks at a time and the GM must determine that any<br/>combination of skill checks is plausible. When multi-tasking,<br/>a character suffers a –5 penalty with<em>both</em>checks and his error<br/>range with each increases by 2.<br/><br/><strong>SPECIAL SKILL RESULTS</strong><br/>Every skill check has an error range and a threat range,<br/>which are natural die results that trigger special skill results.<br/>Unless otherwise specified, a skill check has an error range of 1<br/>and a threat range of 20, though character options, gear choices,<br/>and other effects may modify these base values. Bonuses expand<br/>the range of natural die rolls that trigger an error or threat, and<br/>penalties scale them back. Modifiers may not eliminate error and<br/>threat ranges.<br/><em><br/>Example: A character’s error range with a particular skill<br/>check increases by 2 and his threat range increases by 1. Unless<br/>other modifiers are in play, the check has an error range of 1–3<br/>and a threat range of 19–20.</em><br/><br/><strong>THREATS AND CRITICAL SUCCESSES</strong>(p. 65)<br/>When a skill check succeeds and the character rolls a natural<br/>number within his threat range (an actual roll of the number on<br/>a d20), he scores a threat — a potential critical success. To gain<br/>the benefits of a critical success, the character simply spends 1 or<br/>more action dice as listed in the skill description. No more than<br/>4 action dice may be spent to activate any critical success. When<br/>no cost is listed a character only needs to spend 1 action die to<br/>gain the benefit.<br/><br/>The GM could alternately apply effects of his own, let the<br/>skill user describe what happens, or even poll the other players<br/>for suggestions, especially if he thinks the result will be more<br/>interesting or make more sense in the current circumstances. This<br/>also costs 1–4 action dice based on the outcome. Most critical<br/>successes should have descriptive and mechanical components,<br/>and most of the time they should contribute to the ongoing fun<br/>and action of the scene rather than ending either.<br/><br/><strong>ERRORS AND CRITICAL FAILURES</strong><br/>When a skill check fails and the character rolls a natural<br/>number within his error range (an actual roll of the number on<br/>a d20), or when a skill result is negative, the character suffers an<br/>error — a potential critical failure. He only suffers the effects of<br/>the critical failure, however, if his opponent — commonly the GM<br/>— spends 1 or more action dice as listed in the skill description.<br/>No more than 4 action dice may be spent to activate any critical<br/>failure. When no cost is listed, the opponent only needs to spend<br/>1 action die to trigger the effect.<br/><br/>Critical failures are generally left to the GM’s discretion.<br/>The potential pitfall here is using a critical failure to punish the<br/>character — true failure is oppressive and demoralizing. A better<br/>option is to use the failure to stack the odds a little higher against<br/>the character and maybe his entire party. This offers more things<br/>for the characters to do and enhances the overall story<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>OPPOSED CHECKS</strong><br/>When a character competes against someone else with a skill,<br/>he makes an “opposed check.” All involved make a standard skill<br/>check with the most relevant skill (e.g. Athletics for everyone<br/>in a foot race, Bluff for a lying character and Sense Motive for<br/>the listener, etc.), and the character with the highest result wins.<br/>Equal results tie unless this provides no clear result, in which<br/>case the winner is the character with the highest skill bonus. If<br/>this still ties, a random die roll determines the winner.<br/><br/><strong>COOPERATIVE CHECKS</strong><br/>When multiple characters work together to perform a task,<br/>they make a “cooperative check.” One character becomes the<br/>leader and all others become helpers. A maximum of 5 helpers<br/>may assist each skill check. The leader makes a standard skill check<br/>against the full DC and then each helper makes the same check<br/>against a DC of 15. For each helper who succeeds, the leader’s<br/>result increases by 1, and for each helper who scores a critical<br/>success the leader’s result increases by 2. If any of the helpers<br/>suffers a critical failure, however, the entire task is ruined and must<br/>be started again. The leader’s total result — after all helper bonuses<br/>are applied — determines the cooperative check’s outcome.<br/><br/><strong>TEAM CHECKS</strong><br/>Sometimes several characters perform a single task together<br/>and individual success is irrelevant — when Bluffing, for example,<br/>even one failure can expose everyone involved. Other times<br/>several characters making the same check, or even a cooperative<br/>check, unfairly tips the odds in the characters’ favor (even a few<br/>characters can practically ensure success with Notice or Search,<br/>for instance). In either of these cases the group should make a<br/>“team check.” This works like a standard skill check, except that<br/><em>only one character makes the check for the entire team.</em><br/><br/>• If every member of the team must succeed to reap the benefit<br/>(e.g. the Bluff), the character with the lowest skill bonus<br/>makes the check.<br/>• If only one character must succeed for the entire team to reap<br/>the benefit (e.g. the patrol), the character with the highest<br/>skill bonus makes the check.<br/><br/>When two or more characters qualify, the team chooses<br/>which makes the check.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>KNOWLEDGE CHECKS</strong><br/>Character knowledge differs from player knowledge and what<br/>a character knows can often mean the difference between victory<br/>and defeat, or life and death. When a character’s knowledge is in<br/>question he makes a “Knowledge check.” The player rolls 1d20<br/>and adds his Int modifier + the total number of Studies he knows<br/>(see page 61). He has the knowledge in question if his result beats<br/>the DC listed on Table 2.2: Knowledge Checks (see page 67).<br/>"

Puzzles often hide traps and<br/>locks, requiring a character to Decipher before he can Disable<br/>(see page 79). Many puzzles are Complex Tasks (see page 67),<br/>demanding the character locate various clues or unravel pieces<br/>of the greater mystery before solving the whole.</li><li><em>IDENTIFY (VARIES)</em><br/>Adventuring is a dangerous career. Beyond the myriad<br/>adversaries that must be put down, the wild and hostile creatures<br/>defending their homes and hunting grounds, the traps, treachery,<br/>and the very environment itself, characters must keep a wary eye<br/>on their loot. Is that a Righteous Sword of Holy Vengeance or a<br/>Backbiting Barb of Betrayal? Many found items are a mystery<br/>until they’re used — or identified. This check offers a safe if not<br/>speedy alternative to discovering an item’s true nature the hard<br/>way.</li><li><em>RESEARCH (VARIES)</em><br/>Rummaging through stacks of dusty tomes in a long-forgotten<br/>library, pouring over battle manuals in a warlord’s training hall,<br/>and tracing the history of a dead civilization through glyphs<br/>scrawled on a jungle temple’s walls — all these are examples<br/>of Research in action.</li></ul><br/><strong>MEDICINE (INT)</strong>(p. 77)<br/>Sooner or later every adventurer gets hurt.

Fortunately, the weaknesses of<br/>flesh and bone are well understood, as are the ways to repair<br/>them.<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><em>CALM (1 MINUTE)</em><br/>This check may only be made in a peaceful location. With<br/>success (DC 15), the character heals 1 stable character of 2d6<br/>stress damage.</li><li><em>MEND (1 MINUTE)</em><br/>With success (DC 15), the character heals 1 stable target of<br/>2d6 damage (if the target’s a special character, this is split evenly<br/>between subdual, vitality, and wound points and the patient<br/>distributes any uneven excess).</li><li><em>STABILIZE (1 FULL ACTION)</em><br/>This check is used to stabilize a dying or poisoned character,<br/>staving death off long enough for more substantial treatment.</li><li><em>TREATMENT (DOWNTIME)</em><br/>This check is used to speed an injured character’s recovery<br/>and treat serious maladies. With 2 hours of Downtime, a character<br/>can perform one of the following treatments. A character may<br/>only be targeted by 1 Treatment check per day.<br/><strong>-</strong>Speed Natural Healing<br/><strong>-</strong>Treat Attribute Impairment<br/><strong>-</strong>Treat Critical Injury<br/><strong>-</strong>Treat Poison or Disease</li></ul><br/><strong>NOTICE (WIS)</strong><br/>This skill is used to subconsciously detect things — it comes<br/>into play whenever it’s important to know whether the character<br/>sees, hears, or otherwise senses important details without<br/>looking for them. For this reason, Notice is commonly used<br/>when the Game Master, rather than the player, initiates such<br/>a skill check.<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><em>AWARENESS (1 FREE ACTION)</em><br/>With success against a check result to obscure something<br/>(most often with the Blend, Disguise, Prestidigitation, or Sneak<br/>skill), the character becomes alert to the deception; otherwise,<br/>it becomes hidden from him.</li></ul><br/><strong>PRESTIDIGITATION (DEX)</strong><br/>A favorite of thieves and gamblers, Prestidigitation is used to<br/>conceal actions and items. Some of its most popular applications<br/>are disabling traps, picking pockets, and conveying secret<br/>messages by gesture.<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><em>CONCEAL ACTION (1 FREE ACTION)</em><br/>With success against an observer’s Notice or Search<br/>(see pages 78 and 81), the character conceals one of his<br/>actions from view; otherwise, the observer becomes<br/>alert to the action. If the action involves an item, it must<br/>be at least 2 Sizes smaller than the character. A number<br/>of modifiers apply to this check, as shown on Table 2.7:<br/>Blending, Sneaking, and Concealing (see page 71).</li><li><em>DISABLE (VARIES)</em><br/>This check disables an item, deactivating and/or<br/>neutralizing it. It’s commonly used to open locks and bypass<br/>traps. A character without thieves’ tools (see page 160) is<br/>considered untrained even when he has Prestidigitation<br/>ranks.<br/>Disabling an item takes a number of full actions equal<br/>to the item’s Complexity divided by 10 (rounded up).</li><li><em>STASH (1 HALF ACTION)</em><br/>This check is used to hide an item on a person or in a<br/>location. There is no DC; instead, the character’s result becomes<br/>the DC for Notice and Search checks, which are made whenever<br/>someone searches the person or area where the item is stashed,<br/>or when the GM feels an observer might stumble onto the item.<br/>A number of modifiers apply to this check, as shown on Table<br/>2.7: Blending, Sneaking, and Concealing (see page 71). The stash<br/>result holds up until an observer’s result beats the character’s, at<br/>which point the observer finds the item.</li></ul><br/><strong>RESOLVE (CON)</strong><br/>Keeping one’s cool under pressure — especially during<br/>intense situations like combat — can turn the tide of battle. It<br/>can ensure focus while casting a critical spell, steady hands while<br/>stabilizing a dying ally, or quick thinking while disabling a trap.<br/>Resolve is also helpful during Downtime, allowing a character<br/>to make the most of his repose.<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><em>CONCENTRATE (1 FREE ACTION)</em><br/>A character must make 1 Concentrate check per round when<br/>the GM determines that his current action(s) are threatened by<br/>one or more distractions. With success (DC 10), the character’s<br/>action(s) continue without pause; otherwise, he must start them<br/>again from scratch.</li><li><em>RELAX (DOWNTIME)</em><br/>With at least 10 minutes to indulge in soothing activities in<br/>a peaceful location, a stable character can attempt to hasten his<br/>stress damage recovery. With success (DC 15), the character’s<br/>stress damage healing rate doubles for the next hour.</li></ul><br/><strong>RIDE (DEX)</strong><br/>The Ride skill is used to control any mount or vehicle.<br/>Focuses: When a character gains his first rank in Ride and<br/>for every 4 full ranks he gains in total, he learns 1 focus from<br/>the following list:<em>Air Vehicles, Flying Mounts, Land Vehicles,<br/>Riding Mounts, Swimming Mounts, Water Vehicles.</em><br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><em>MANEUVER (1 HALF ACTION)</em><br/>Most of the time, no skill check is required to control a<br/>mount or vehicle. This check comes into play when the character<br/>attempts a risky maneuver, especially during combat or another<br/>dangerous situation.</li></ul><br/><strong>SEARCH (INT)</strong><br/>This skill is used to deliberately detect things — it comes<br/>into play whenever it’s important to know whether the character<br/>sees, hears, or otherwise senses important details while looking<br/>for them. For this reason, Search is commonly used when the<br/>player, rather than the GM, initiates such a skill check.<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><em>PERCEPTION (1 FULL ACTION)</em><br/>With success against a check result to obscure something<br/>(most often with the Blend, Disguise, Prestidigitation, or Sneak<br/>skills), the character becomes alert to the deception; otherwise,<br/>it becomes hidden from him.</li></ul><br/><strong>SENSE MOTIVE (WIS)</strong><br/>This skill is used to detect lies. Seeing through disguises and<br/>spotting forgeries are covered by the Notice and Search skills.<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><em>DETECT LIE (1 FREE ACTION)</em><br/>With success against a Bluff result (see page 72), the character<br/>sees through the lie. Disposition has no impact on this check.</li></ul><br/><strong>SNEAK (DEX)</strong><br/>This skill is used to deliberately avoid detection — it<br/>comes into play whenever it’s important to know whether<br/>observers see, hear, or otherwise sense a character who’s trying<br/>to escape discovery. For this reason, Sneak is commonly used<br/>when the player, rather than the GM, initiates such a skill<br/>check.<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><em>HIDE (1 FULL ACTION)</em><br/>With success against an observer’s Notice or Search (see<br/>pages 78 and 81), the character becomes hidden from the<br/>observer (if he wasn’t already); otherwise, the observer becomes<br/>alert to the character (and potentially his location, if the GM<br/>thinks it’s apparent). A number of modifiers apply to this check,<br/>as shown on Table 2.7: Blending, Sneaking, and Concealing (see<br/>page 71).<br/><br/>As part of a Hide check, the character may move up to<br/>his full Speed, though doing so makes him easier to detect, as<br/>shown on Table 2.7.</li></ul><br/><strong>SURVIVAL (WIS)</strong><br/>A character at one with nature can make his home almost<br/>anywhere, at least in the short term.

With failure, no food or<br/>water is found and natural healing decreases to 1/2 normal<br/>(rounded down).</li><li><em>TRACK (VARIES)</em><br/>This check is used to hunt, regardless of the prey. Outdoors,<br/>a character makes 1 Track check per mile; indoors, the distance<br/>per check decreases to 100 ft. The GM may call for additional<br/>checks when the conditions of the hunt change (e.g. when the<br/>prey backtracks or tries to hide his trail, when the prey’s trail<br/>crosses another, when it starts to rain, etc.).<br/><br/>With success against a target’s Blend or Sneak result,<br/>as appropriate, the character remains on the target’s trail;<br/>otherwise, he loses it. The character permanently loses a trail if<br/>he fails 2 Track checks in a row. A number of modifiers apply to<br/>this check, as shown on Table 2.19: Tracking (see page 83).</li><li><em>TRAIN ANIMAL (DOWNTIME)</em><br/>To train an animal, a character must have a combined Survival<br/>skill bonus + Career Level of at least the animal’s Training value,<br/>as shown on Table 4.15: Mounts (see page 170).<br/><br/>With a successful 1-month check (DC 20), the character<br/>trains a wild animal. A trained animal can be ridden, accepts<br/>commands, and may receive advanced training.</li></ul><br/><strong>TACTICS (INT)</strong><br/>Study any famed warlord and it becomes clear they all<br/>share a common trait — the ability to leverage the odds in their<br/>favor. Through insightful observation and careful planning they<br/>elevate battle to an art form, delivering death blows while their<br/>opponents are still scrambling for their sheaths.<br/><br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><em>AMBUSH (1 MINUTE)</em><br/>The roll for an Ambush check is not made when the ambush<br/>is prepared, but rather when it’s sprung.<br/>With success against a target character or group’s Notice,<br/>Search, or Sense Motive (as appropriate), a surprise round<br/>happens with the targets unaware of your party (see page 203).</li><li><em>OUTMANEUVER (1 MINUTE)</em><br/>With success against a target character’s Tactics, the target’s<br/>error range increases by 2 during all opposed checks until the<br/>end of the current scene.</li></ul>"

A character loses 1 baffled grade<br/>at the end of each scene.</li><li><strong>Bleeding:</strong> The character suffers 1 point of subdual damage<br/>at the end of each round. If he takes 1 or more actions during the<br/>round, he suffers 1d4 lethal damage instead. This condition heals<br/>at the end of the current scene, but may be eliminated earlier<br/>with a successful full-round Medicine check (DC 20).</li><li><strong>Blinded:</strong> The character is flat-footed and cannot see anything.<br/>He cannot make skill checks that require sight and suffers a –8<br/>penalty with attack checks. Meanwhile, his opponents gain a +2<br/>bonus when attacking him.</li><li><strong>Deafened:</strong> The character cannot hear anything and cannot<br/>make skill checks that require hearing.</li><li><strong>Enraged:</strong> The character may not make skill checks and <br/>automatically attacks the nearest conscious opponent with his<br/>most damaging attack. If no opponent is close enough to attack<br/>during the current round, the character turns on the nearest<br/>target, even if it’s a friend. Once per round, the character may<br/>make a Resolve check (DC 20) to calm himself and lose this<br/>condition; otherwise it fades at the end of the current scene. In<br/>either case, the character falls unconscious immediately after.</li><li><strong>Fatigued (I–IV + special):</strong> The character may not Run.<br/>Further, his Speed drops by 5 ft., his Strength score drops by 2,<br/>and his Dexterity score drops by 2 per grade he suffers (e.g. at<br/>fatigued II, a character’s Speed drops by 10 ft. and his Strength<br/>and Dexterity scores drop by 4 each). If a character with fatigued<br/>IV is fatigued again, he instead falls unconscious. A character<br/>loses 1 fatigued grade at the end of each scene and for each full<br/>hour of sleep.</li><li><strong>Fixated:</strong> The character may not attack or make skill checks<br/>and must take at least 1 Standard Move action per round toward<br/>the source of his fixation. Once per round, the character may<br/>make a Resolve check (DC 20) to regain composure and lose this<br/>condition; otherwise it fades at the end of the current scene. This<br/>condition is also lost if the character is attacked by an adversary.</li><li><strong>Flanked:</strong> A character is flanked when 2 opponents stand<br/>on directly opposite and adjacent sides of him. While flanking<br/>a character, an opponent gains a +2 bonus with attack checks<br/>against him.</li><li><strong>Flat-Footed:</strong> The character loses his Dexterity bonus to<br/>Defense (if positive), as well as all dodge bonuses to Defense.<br/>He may also be targeted with a variety of special effects, such as<br/>sneak attack damage. The flat-footed condition is lost when the<br/>character takes a half or full action, or is successfully attacked.</li><li><strong>Frightened:</strong> The character may not attack or make skill<br/>checks and must take at least 1 Standard Move action per round<br/>away from the source of his fear. Once per round, the character<br/>may make a Resolve check (DC 20) to regain composure and lose<br/>this condition; otherwise it fades at the end of the current scene.</li><li><strong>Held:</strong> The character is flat-footed and may take no non-free<br/>actions except an opposed Athletics check to escape the hold. A<br/>character who becomes held a second time loses this condition<br/>and becomes pinned.</li><li><strong>Helpless:</strong> A character is helpless when he is unable to defend<br/>himself in any way. Attacks against a helpless character gain a +4<br/>bonus. Also, the character may be targeted with a Coup de Grace<br/>action (see page 219).</li><li><strong>Hidden:</strong> A character is hidden from those who don’t know<br/>his location. They may not attack him, nor may they target<br/>him with skill checks that require line of sight. When a hidden<br/>character attacks an oblivious target within Close Quarters, the<br/>target is considered flat-footed (even if he isn’t otherwise).</li><li><strong>Incorporeal:</strong> The character cannot be harmed with physical<br/>attacks but is affected by force damage and other non-physical<br/>attacks as normal. He may pass through solid objects at will,<br/>though force fields and other effects block his movement.</li><li><strong>Invisible:</strong> When the character moves at least 10 ft. from his<br/>starting position as his last action during a round, he becomes<br/>hidden.</li><li><strong>Paralyzed: </strong>The character is flat-footed and may only take<br/>actions that are purely mental.</li><li><strong>Pinned:</strong> The character is flat-footed and may take no actions<br/>except an opposed Athletics check to escape the pin (in which<br/>case the character becomes held instead). He may be bound with<br/>1 free action and may only speak as the pinning character allows.<br/>The pinning character may use him as a human shield, gaining<br/>1/2 personal cover. Finally, each adjacent opponent gains a +4<br/>bonus with attacks targeting the character.</li><li><strong>Prone:</strong> A character is prone when he’s intentionally lying<br/>on the ground. He may not take Movement actions other than<br/>Handle Item and Reposition, though he still gains his Bonus 5-ft.<br/>Step if he doesn’t take a Movement action. The character gains a<br/>+2 bonus to Defense against ranged attacks, but also suffers a –2<br/>penalty with melee attacks.</li><li><strong>Shaken (I–IV + special):</strong> The character may not take 10<br/>or 20. Further, he suffers a –2 penalty with all attack checks, as<br/>well as Charisma- and Wisdom-based skill checks, per grade<br/>suffered. If a character with shaken IV is shaken again, he instead<br/>falls unconscious. A character loses 1 shaken grade at the end of<br/>each scene.</li><li><strong>Sickened:</strong> The character suffers a –2 penalty with all attacks<br/>and skill checks, as well as all damage rolls and saves.</li><li><strong>Slowed:</strong> The character may take only 1 half action during<br/>each round. Further, he suffers a –1 penalty with attack checks<br/>and Reflex saves, his Defense decreases by 1, and his Speed drops<br/>to 1/2 standard (rounded down).</li><li><strong>Sprawled:</strong> A character is sprawled when he’s knocked off<br/>his feet. He is flat-footed and suffers a –2 penalty with all attack<br/>checks. This condition is lost when the character Repositions<br/>(see page 220).</li><li><strong>Stunned:</strong> The character is flat-footed and may take no<br/>actions.</li></ul><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Elise Skultz hails from old O'Seer.  The Skultz family is prestigious, mostly in the military sense and most of the males in Elise's family (past and present) are members of the military, typically officers.  As a girl, Elise was encouraged to get an education which did, spending most of her youth learning about the world and it's people.  Her biggest interest was in the arts, especially theatre and as she grew into a young adult she pursued this field becoming somewhat of an actress.  When work is not available Elise is content to travel about with whomever seems safe enough company, exploring the Kingdom and satisfying her curiosity which is largely insatiable.  Elise loves learning about different people, cultures, and histories and she is quite good at absorbing facts and data.<br/><br/>That said, Elise is also quite a ditz.  She is preoccupied mostly with her own appearance and tends to be rather inattentive otherwise, unless of course she is the one doing the engaging.  So while she might easily ask a question and absorb the answer, or elect to listen to someone speaking and internalize what they say, it's equally likely she might be bored by or uninterested on unaware of a piece of information (maybe something posted on a sign, or from a person she finds dull).  While Elise lacks street smarts in a commoner, street type setting she is skilled in negotiating the dangerous terrain of the aristocracy.  Likewise, though she lack street smarts her good looks, charm, grace and positive attitude are usually enough to get by...along with her usual stylish (and typically skimpy) outfits.<br/><br/>Elise is well educated and knowledgeable, though not always clever or smart.  Her real strength is her looks, her style and her ability to impress others (especially men), often by seduction and charm.<br/></div></div><br/>Appearance<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Elise is tall for a human woman at 5'10"", add to this that she usually wears stylish platform heels and she almost always comes in well over 6'.  She is slender but has some curves and meat where it counts and with bright blonde hair and equally bright blue eyes and a finally chiseled face she hopes her looks alone will be enough to land her work as an actress.  In addition to the shoes, Elise is always dressed in stylish and rather immodest outfits to draw even more attention to herself, which she craves.  Elise is never scene out in public without makeup and jewelry either.<br/><div

During the revolution he gathered information and even fought in some raids and skirmishes. After the revolution Kyet followed some of his friends to Oraldrim where they served as mercenaries and used skills developed during the revolution as thieves. His little sister Sybel followed him to the city, thinking to try and emulate her older brother. The band worked well together for 8 years, managing to stay a step ahead of what passed for law. Everything seemed to be going great for them, right up until the point everything went wrong. After finishing a job the team was resting in the Last Stop tavern and for a change Kyet was winning a poker hand without having to cheat. One of the men across the table was quite drunk and started to insist Kyet was cheating as he watched his coin disappear. Of course it lead to a brawl and the band was starting to enjoy themselves as they knocked some skulls. The drunkard who started the brawl pulled out a Fire Lance however and the tavern was soon ablaze. Three people managed to get out before the roof collapsed. Kyet was carrying Sybel who had a burning timber fall on her, and the drunk managed to stumble out of the door.

Everyone knows that! After all, it's how a large amount of the legendary adventurer's truly got started on their respective epic quests. Luna Amell, dancer and bard, had started to trip to Waterdeep from her little hidden village north of the Moonwood, hopping from river to river until she was finally forced to go on foot.<br/><br/>At that point she was traveling with a merchant caravan, easily persuaded to share supplies and protection for plenty of musical entertainment on the trip. Well . . that and her lovely dances at night. When the silverblooded woman wanted to be persuasive, she was VERY persuasive, after all. The grand city of Waterdeep was finally in sight now, as they traveled the road from Red Larch.<br/><br/>When asked about why such a clearly frail woman was traveling to Waterdeep, her answer was quick and instantaneous. She wished to join the Travelers, and find an adventuring crew to team up with!<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>As the City of Splendors came into sight, the caravan's horses become suddenly restless.  The wagon drivers at first, dismissed it; after all this had been an unusually long run, as they had made some unexpected stops; albeit profitable ones.<br/><br/>The caravan guards, called for drivers to stop as a cold chill passed through the air.  As the caravan came to a halt, now the horses were really bothered and became downright unruly.  Both the drivers and some of the merchants tried to calm them, as the guards scouted around.  Then suddenly, a fireball erupted mere inches above the caravan, lighting up the night sky.<br/><br/>In the sudden flash and confusion of the explosion overhead, arrows rained in from both sides.  It was quite clear, even as the battle began, that the caravan guards were outmatched.  But nonetheless, they continued to fight."

A quizzical look materialized upon Elise's face then before she perked up once again, ""Oh!  And, uhmmm...while I do that..."" (in her mind Elise suspected only she would have the social tact to talk to grieving commoners), ""we could also check in on some of Listan's well known criminals?  Like some places still have harems and slaves and stuff, so maybe someone here has decided to get into the business of selling these girls?  I'm not really from here so I don't know any of the slimy guild leaders or anything....think there might be anyone here in Listan that might get into something like that Captain?"" she tilted her head to the side a bit, awaiting his thoughts.<br/><br/>current outfit: http://trashy.com/Snow-Flake-Dress.5814-product.htm (http://trashy.com/Snow-Flake-Dress.5814-product.htm)<br/>shoes: http://www.sears.com/qupid-women-s-pulse-05-glitter-wedge-silver-glitter/p-035VA46376601P (http://www.sears.com/qupid-women-s-pulse-05-glitter-wedge-silver-glitter/p-035VA46376601P)<br/><br/>"

Being reminded not to handle anything fragile. Being reminded by others not to handle anything fragile.<br/><br/>Hailing from Tethyr, the cheerful and friendly Dio is having the time of his life. A lovely journey from his home to who knows where that has been ongoing for two years now is yet to satisfy him, who hasn't even thought about plotting a route back. What awaits him? A family-owned business of table-making already inherited by his brother. Who, incidentally, made damn good tables. Dio was wise enough to know that he didn't have business making tables. Yet he was not wise enough to pick up a different tool other than his well-worn sword, according to peers back home.<br/><br/>But it didn't matter for him. Swordplay was becoming less an occupation and more a hobby for the young warrior. Something that gave him real satisfaction, a very real sense of accomplishment. He felt far more at home on the road, guarding some cargo against ruffians than perfecting and sanding a block of a dead tree for some slob who can't make his own furniture. To be fair, Dio did fall under the latter category for awhile. He never enjoyed feeling like a shmuck, attempting to handle the finer tools that requested finesse and not meat-head brutality. Not that he was a brutal meat-head.<br/><br/>Or was he? The swordsman wonders sometimes, hoping that isn't the aura he emits to others.<br/><br/>Character sheet! (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=375450) Again, please notify me if I'm missing anything or did something incorrectly."

I'll be donating gold to get him a heavier set of armor.<br/><br/>Katrina has an interesting mix of class and cross class skill ranks, none of which are more than a single point, and has two points left. It occurs to me that you may not be aware that a first level character can have up to 4 skill ranks in class skills, or 2 in cross class skills, though these each cost double.  Being Human, with an Intelegence of 12, your fighter could have 4 skills maxed out instead, if you like.  Even if you don't, you'll want to use those last two points... she may also want to invest in a heavier set of armor.  (Should she escape of course.)  And perhaps a large or tower shield.<br/><br/>Luth's conjurer looks fine... Though I really hope no one finds out his low will, as a charmed Conjurer attacking us with summons from behind is a scary thought... He's by farthe most powerful of us at the moment.<br/><br/>;)<br/><br/>Talen?  Her player is probably sacrificing a lot of power for RP aspects... poor girl can't see straight, and if she can't get into melee range, she's going to be a pretty sad fighter.<br/><br/>All in all, looks like a very fun group, so don't take my advice very seriously.  I love the way things are going!<br/><br/>I obviously just have too much time on my hands.<br/><br/>Finally, we see to be a party with amazingly low AC's... just a note.  I had a 20 AC with magic for a short time, but the 12 average AC of the rest of the party may become an issue at some point.  (There are 1st lvl cats and commoners with better AC's out there...)"

They do not really have rules for it. You can extrapolate the racial mods since monsters are assumed to have 10 or 11 as the roll aspect of their stats though. The elementals all end up with +0 or worse net racial mods, and don`t seem like horrible choices if you don`t let them take int as a dump stat.<br/><br/>Small Elementals:<br/>Air Elemental: +6 dex, -6 int, 2 elemental hit dice, 1d4 natural slam, +3 natural armor, 100 fly speed, 20 foot land speed, darkvision 60, air mastery, whirlwind, Racial Bonus Feats: Improved Initiative, Weapon finesse.<br/>Description: This creature appears to be an amorphous, shifting cloud surrounded by fast-moving currents of air. Darker bits of twirling vapor form the suggestion of two eyes and a mouth, but this could be a trick of the swirling air.<br/><br/>Earth Elemental: +6 str, -2 dex, +2 con, -6 int, 2 elemental hit dice, 1d6 natural slam, +7 natural armor, 20 foot land speed, darkvision 60, earth mastery, push, earth glide<br/>Description: Like a walking hill, the creature prods nearer on two featureless legs of rock and earth, its clublike arms of jagged stone swinging at its sides, and its featureless head staring blankly in your direction.<br/><br/>Fire Elemental: +2 dex, -6 int, 2 elemental hit dice, 2d4 natural slam, +3 natural armor, 50 foot land speed, darkvision 60, burn, immunity to fire, vulnerability to cold Racial Bonus Feats: Improved Initiative, Weapon finesse.<br/>Description: A mass of ambulatory flame races across the ground, seeming to flicker and spark from a central, humanoid-shaped conflagration. Like a living inferno, the creature`s burning dance of heat and flame bring it ever closer.<br/><br/>Water Elemental: +4 str, +2 con, -6 int, 2 elemental hit dice, 1d6 natural slam, +6 natural armor, 20 foot land speed, 90 foot swim speed, darkvision 60, water mastery, drench, vortex<br/>Description: A vortex of water rolls across the ground, though it never seems to crash or lose its shape. The waves cascade and storm around a central, humanoid-shaped whirlpool, with watery appendages that pound with the force of an ocean storm.<br/><br/>I can do it for the mephits too if you like but they have a lot more stuff. I think the faeries already have rules for players playing them.<br/><br/>Edit: Added the descriptions so you know what they look like since it`s kind of confusing for elementals. In order of least human looking to most it seems to go Air Earth Water Fire. Earth elementals are more apelike than human, but actually are humanoid in shape."

However during the day something begin to loom around the school, some students can feel a strange sensation like something is about to happen on this day. A scream it's heard outside the school near the gates, the scream it's filled with terror and then the voice sounds like it's choking on something then silence. Most student don't hear this and the day goes as normal, however soon a announcement from the main office appears on the speakers, <br/><br/>""Students, a situation of emergency has occurred at school. Please be organized and evacuate the classes as....wait no.... what your doing!!! ARRGGGGG......"". The line went empty as a couple of gunshots could be heard then static filled the speakers.</em><br/><br/>The sound of soft music filled the nurse office, she always had some type of music around in order to keep the students calm. It was interrupted by a sudden burst inside the classroom of a teacher with a very severe wound on his left arm. Quickly Shizuna went to him and cut the sleeve of the wounded arm and looked at the bite, “How could you be so dumb to let a animal bite you, silly teacher”. She began to clean the bite as she noticed the man was gasping for air, soon after he took his last one. Shizune tried to feel his pulse but he was gone.<br/><br/>Rushing to get the paddles she tried to open a door but it would not budge. After trying like ten times she noticed the only thin she needed to do was turn the handle. Taking the paddles she noticed the man was already standing, his eyes looked pale white and his features looked a bit odd. His walking was slow and almost like he was dragging his feet. She heard then the message on the speaker and then looked at the man, “Umm sir… you need to evacuate…” as soon as she spoke the man seemed to be drawn into her. He slowly approached her as she took steps backwards, with a small bottle on the ground she tripped and fell down.  The man seemed to become closer as he dropped down on top of her and tried his best to bite her. The man looked like he was out of it, “HELP”. She screamed and another teacher came in and wrestled the teacher down to the ground. Turning around to check on Shizune was the worst mistake he could had made as the zombie stood up and took a bite out of his neck. Soon after the entire school went to hell as students started running out of the classes. The man continued to bite the other teacher until he dropped dead, and she was next.<br/><br/>Soon the teacher who came to help stood up and began to walk towards the teacher as well. She backed down and looked around for something to help defend herself having no such luck. As she backed away she noticed her back was against the wall, she was trapped with two grown up teachers coming after her and no salvation.<br/>"

The boy’s PE locker room abruptly burst out into shouts of panic as bodies all around him, in various states of dress, pressed their way out of the space. In a matter of moments he was the only one remaining in the room as the weighted doors slowly closed on their own accord to gradually muffle the screams of terror and agony that were coming from the other side. At first glance, one would possibly assume that the purple haired young man was frozen in terror to the point of being catatonic, but once the doors closed with a dull thud he retied the gym shoes he had been in the process of taking off moments before.<br/><br/>Like the rest of the students that had been around him Daichi’s instinctive reaction was to join the masses in the fear driven evacuation, but he had quickly reigned in his emotions before they could cause him to act recklessly. In the short time it took for him to double knot his shoes and put his shirt back on, the mundane activity allowed his mind to race as it plotted out a rational course of action based upon the few facts he had.<em>Rule number one: No Thrashing.</em>he thought to himself in the systematic process he used in just about any situation where thought was essential, be it for tests or survival. The first and possibly most important step was a reminder to think before acting lest he risks making matters even worse. He had to approach things from a rational and logical mindset that was devoid of distracting emotions such as fear and anxiety.<br/><br/><em>Rule number two: Seven to seventeen seconds.</em>It was at this step he began organizing what little facts he had at his disposal and determine his ultimate objective. Clearly, the school was in a state of emergency and an evacuation has been issued. However, the threat, whatever it may be, was already inside the building and was something that was not isolated into one place given the principal’s surprise. There were gunshots as well, which was not only shocking in its own right due to how it was nearly impossible for a civilian to possess a firearm, but it also conflicted with the orders to evacuate. In the event of a school shooting they should have been ordered to lock themselves in their classrooms, turn out the lights, and remain as quiet as possible to avoid drawing the gunman’s attention. Filling the halls with a sea of panicked bodies was about as close to shooting fish in a barrel as the gunman can get without actually having a fish or barrel handy. Daichi shook his head, deciding that he did not yet have enough information to accurately identify the threat itself so he instead focused upon the situation. Presently there are hundreds of panicked individuals running through the hallways in total chaos. Those who don’t get trampled along the way will quickly find themselves pinned in place once the masses reach a chokepoint that would only lead to more injuries at the hands of their peers alone. All the while they will subject themselves to whatever threat is out there, practically trapping themselves rather than evacuating as they had intended. Ultimately, he decided he needed to gather more information before he could decide upon a best course of action, but avoid getting caught in the torrent of moving bodies in the process.<br/><br/><em>Rule number three: Baby Steps.</em>It was now time to act, but by focusing on keeping them as simple and easy to accomplish as possible so he doesn’t take on more than he could handle. First thing was to prepare for any potential hostilities, be it student or the threat itself. Reaching into his locker, Daichi withdrew his wide-mouth quiver of target-point arrows and slung it over his shoulder followed by his composite longbow which he strung with familiar motions until the staves were held taunt by the bowstring. He glanced at the other lockers, most of them having been left unlocked, if not entirely open after everybody filed out. For a moment he considered grabbing one of the baseball bats or another quiver that he knew would be among them, but decided to hold off until he knew what he was going up against. The last thing he wanted was to encumber himself in a situation that would require agility and speed.<br/><br/>“Alright,” he mumbled to himself to keep his nerves at by while he approached the door that opened towards the gym, “let’s see what’s going on out there.” Bracing his foot along the door’s swing plane, he place it in a position that would only allow it to open an inch or so without resistance.

He recognized their faces, but it took him a moment to remember their names. “Oh!” The realization had dawned on him that in the turmoil he had not introduced himself, but it seemed Aika had recognized him from somewhere and knew his name. “Hai.” He said in acknowledgement that she had gotten his name correct; it was a little surprising because he’d always figured he never quite stood out enough among the rest of his classmates to be known on sight. It was something that brought a warm smile on his lips. At least until the school nurse’s voice came over the PA to remind him of the situation they were in and that he didn’t have time to be fawning over pretty girls.<br/><br/>Glad to see he was not the only one armed, he kept close to Aika while the two kept watch out for Aori as she scavenged for supplies. Though he didn’t say it aloud, Daichi wondered just how many students were left to be able to make it to them and of those how many would actually make it. A large group of armed students might be nice to press their way out, but more than likely it would only introduce more problems if it became too large and cumbersome. Not to mention what happens if there is a dispute over leadership and what courses of action to take. Either way, the die had been cast and it was just a matter of seeing how many showed up and hopefully they didn’t lure too many zombies in with them. “Hey Aori-chan, see if you can find me some more arrows.” He asked from over his shoulder, knowing that without them his offensive use to the group might be short lived. “Aluminum or carbon fibre shafts are preferred, but I’m in no position to be picky.”"

Daichi to be exact. 'Eugene' however would shake his head for the moment.<strong>""Do we know how these zombies operate anyway?

Could always make a distraction with something else and a little bit of thinking. Don't you think?""</strong>He looked about since they were in the gym's office of all places and as such there just had to be something they could use. A whistle or two had to be here so he made himself useful and hunted for that. Should he find one then he would suggest something.<strong>""Why not tie a whistle to one of the arrows and shoot it in a direction away from the minivan.

But if he accepted the invitation, he would be more than welcome.

After all, it had only been a few hours since they were all plunged into this living hell and he had never been so socially proactive in his entire life. Even if it was simply a instinctive reflex to help ensure survival, he had hoped it was a trait that would remain should they ever get out of this mess.<br/><br/>Though the lighthearted moment was short lived when Jason announced his intention to remain behind before revealing the reason why. Daichi sucked in a hiss though his clenched teeth at the sight of the bite and the meaning it held. Of the three that rescued them from the nightmare that was the high school, only one would walk away. Such a survival rate was a sobering reminder that even those who were expertly trained with some of the best equipment at their disposal were no less mortal than an average unarmed civilian was. Though true to his resolve, the man was intent on going out taking as many as he could with him. There was nothing he could say as they began to leave him, any attempt to do so seemed like it would only take away from the man’s selfless act. So Daichi simply shot him a somber smile and a wave as a means of conveying his deep appreciation before heading to the protective shell of the APC.<br/><br/>Once the armored vehicle proceeded to seal itself, he finally started feeling the weight of the countless emotions he had been forced to shove into the back of his mind for the sake of maintaining the rational thought that was most useful for survival. Though he did not succumb to them, Daichi could not ignore the incorporeal burden that he suddenly felt in his shoulders that actually caused them to slump with wariness. It was clear that he was not the only one feeling that as he looked over the Aika who had proven so bold in the field who was finally given the chance to break down.<br/><br/>He was never good at comforting others; most of the time he felt his general aloof nature add an element of awkwardness to the environment, which typically made his attempt only marginally successful. But still, somebody had to try and at least offer some measure of comfort. Knowing better than to trust his words that were more likely to betray him than not, Daichi simply sat next to Aika and pressed his shoulder against hers to make his presence known. She had proven that she had a strong personality and did not know how she would take to being comforted overtly, so he simply let his presence inform her that she had a shoulder to cry on should she want it or simply another body to lean against if that’s all she wanted. He wouldn’t force it on her, but he was more than happy to offer whatever reassurance he could."

However one question did ring out through his mind in all of this<em>""How in the world can Rika-san afford such an apartment?""</em>Once he was off the bike it took him a moment to gather feeling in his legs and among a few other places.

Given that it was largely an unknown how many more times they would be given such an opportunity, he wanted to make the most of it. It was also no secret to him that of all the vices humanity was prone to, sloth was by far his favorite. After all, he had seen the dead rising and walking the halls, students being eaten alive, and even skewered one’s skull on one of his arrows in order to save a girl in need. If that wasn’t worthy of a breather, he didn’t want to know what was.<br/><br/>When Rika seconded Sarah’s suggestion and supported it with logical reasoning, Daichi did actually swoon quite openly at the soldier of fortune.

It seemed the more he was around the purple haired beauty, the more he liked her.

If they had not done so already that is.<br/><br/>With the rest of the night’s schedule cleared from the previous itinerary of fighting off zombies in a desperate attempt for survival, Daichi suddenly found himself with hours of free time. It was a realization that brought a broad grin to his lips that reflected in his less wary posture. He was now able to pay attention to the hunger and thirst that he had pushed to the back of his mind since this whole mess started. Not to mention the underlying fatigue that came with countless surges of adrenaline. Marikawa-sensai did mention something about a hot bath after all and surely there was food enough. He wondered which of the two should take precedent, but the debate was tabled for the moment as he suddenly found it too much of a bother to leave the comfort of the sofa for the time being."

Well, that one was easily the most stressful situation that she even faced, but still, she was the best choice.<br/><br/>But that wasn't time to think about such questions.

Just what she wanted! Closing the door behind her (without locking it, by habit), she quickly open the water to fill it. After filling it, she put the bath salts, took of her clothes and finally entered the bathtub, lying down on it. Sarah sighed, enjoying the sensation.<br/><br/>After relaxing for a while, her mind started to wander. Sarah was wondering what happened to her uncle, if he did survived all that mess. Being optimistic by nature, she was pretty sure he made it. But, what if not? Sarah killed that thought. She couldn't accept his death without proof. It was true that they never were close, and that distance grew more and more after her mother's death. But he was family, and no one could give up on family that easy.<br/><br/>And, speaking of family... Sarah thought about her father. He was alive too?<strong>""That bastard!""</strong>, she mumbled, trying to take him off her mind. But she couldn't help to think more about him, if he survived. She remembered that night, when her mother died. Her dad on the police car, touching in the window with his hands, a handcuff on his wrist. She could read his lips: ""It wasn't me."" Sarah had that scene on her mind for years, but she never payed him a visit on the prison. She never gave him a chance to explain.

He watched as a potential hours-long argument between Sarah and Shine was disarmed on account of her indifference in disputing the matter before the two went their separate ways. Thankfully. Then his attention went to Aori as she found herself a nice corner and allowed the weight of the day’s events to finally come down upon her now that she had time to think. He had considered offering her the same comfort of presence as he had with Aika, but noticed Shizuna had beaten him to the punch. A shallow smile traced his lips, glad it was her rather than him. The school’s nurse – well former school’s nurse he supposed – would likely be far better at comforting Aori. It had been a relatively simple matter to help Aika, her strong personality and will made it for more of a hands-off approach. Aori was more emotional and would require a more empathetic approach, which was a prime situation for him to make matters awkward if not worse as his attempts usually boiled down to.<br/><br/>As the apartment began to become more active, in a sort of silent bustle to minimize their presence to the outside world, Daichi gradually began to grow restless by just sitting. It wasn’t the sort of impatience Shine was likely feeling that would drive him to shore up defenses and remain vigilant for the danger awaiting them outside. He was not yet ready to open that can of worms just yet unless it was forced upon him. Rather, it was a need to engage and socialize, which was somewhat unfamiliar to him. Whether it was a result of recent events pulling him – or more like jettisoning him out of his shell or just a need to feel his own reassurance that he was not alone in all this he couldn’t be sure. At one point Daichi was remotely aware he was rubbing his knees with his palms anxiously before looking down and realized that he was still in the attire he had from the locker room. He had been in the process of changing when that announcement came over the radio and had only gotten so far as to untie his shoes when everything went chaotic. The short and thin fabric of his light shirt and shorts made him realize how exposed he had been the entire time and it sent a chill down his spine. He wasn’t looking for body armor, but even a pair of denim jeans would be a vast improvement when compared to bare flesh.<br/><br/>Rising from the sofa, he approached Rika somewhat timidly even though he did his best to hide his nerves. She was a very powerful and lethal woman, there was no denying that, and he couldn’t help but to feel some margin of intimidation by being in her presence and the focus of her attention. “Uhh… Rika-sama? I know this may be a long shot, but you wouldn’t happen to have any clothing lying around here that I can borrow that would be better than running out there in my gym shorts, would you?” Daichi didn’t see her as having a wardrobe of dainty outfits, but even still there was a considerable difference in clothing that was designed for men and those that are designed for women. Specifically when it comes to where the cut is snug and where room is allotted for… extra stuff. Of course, it rarely hurt to ask."

She took out a set of short jeans and threw it at him followed by a shirt with her unit emblem on it, it was a hawk flying up at top speed. She threw that also to him and then began to empty out all of her drawers splitting apart male clothing from female clothing and those that could be used by both. “Girls and guys come here, I placed here on the bed three pile of clothing. One for the guys one for the girls and the last one can be used by both. I want all of you to change into something else more comfortable since tomorrow we will have a long day.

She closed the windows so nothing could be heard outside and turned on the air conditioner in low setting also.

Daichi looked up with surprise, a wide array of emotions showing on his face ranging in the various shades of curiosity, anxiety, interest, and excitement as he was unsure if he had heard her correctly, and if so, what she meant by him joining her. Then he realized he was once again looking at a girl who was entirely naked before him – a beautiful one at that from what little he saw of her – and directed his gaze back to his feet. Her repositioning had made him a little less bashful, even if by the absolute minimum of margins since she used the tub to hide much of her. As a result, he was able to flick his eyes up every now and then in brief instants of eye contact.<br/><br/>Daichi tried to say something, but his nervousness made any attempted reply come out as incoherently. Meanwhile, a civil war raged within him between his social anxiety and his libido. It was a brutal battle where his libido had gained the initiative and gained the upper hand early into the campaign. He took a half step closer to the tub and Sarah. As it progressed, however, his anxiety was beginning to rally and attained several key strongholds. Daichi glanced over his shoulder towards the door for a moment before looking back at Sarah then back towards his feet with a renewed flush on his face. The momentum of his anxiety faltered as that glance towards Sarah gave his libido much needed reinforcements and the battle became deadlocked. He looked over towards the toilet and noted that it would make an adequate seat, taking a step towards it then stopping once more.<br/><br/>He couldn’t help but feel more than a little foolish standing there for several seconds in indecision between what he wanted to do and what his nervousness told him to do. It would be obvious to Sarah that he was certainly interested in joining her, something that would be made especially clear had the proof not been hidden by his spare clothing. Of course his trembling hands and shifting feet was plenty of evidence to deduce he had never been given such an invitation and was unsure how to act. Presently the war was an even match, the balance evenly matched and susceptible to exterior influence in any of the three directions simply by offering once more. If left with time to think and fret, his anxiety would surely gain the victory."

Especially if it had a forward hand grip like he was asking about, as that would make it easier to use both hands.<br/><br/>At this point, some people might be thinking that maybe he was a gun Otaku, since he seemed to be making such a big deal about the guns, but really, this was just an aspect of what he truly was an Otaku about: survival-horror.

And he would half-watch her, as he was also paying attention to Rika. ""How're you doing, Aori-san?""<br/><br/>He was worried about her. Of the students, she was the strongest in this group that he had seen, and even she had had a break down on the ride here.

He eased out his breath as subtly as he could, his entire body trembling as he focused on just how close her naked body was to his. He wondered if this was it; if he would finally lose his virginity on the day the world began its end. It had always been a passing concern that he hadn’t taken seriously until this morning that he would die without ever experiencing the touch of a girl.

He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that he may never truly die.<br/><br/>Yet in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomicon, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor’s will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds, but for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants, and worse.<br/><br/>To be a man in such times is be one amongst untold billions.

Befitting your nature as dangerous criminals, you were placed in stasis, held in a state of limbo to ride out the journey, powerless to change your fate. Now you have awoken, the feeble lights of the stasis crypt greeting you as you stumble from your casket. Strangely though, no leering guards or armoured troopers stand waiting with manacles ready. Looking around you see others like yourself emerge from their own caskets. You also note the walls and floor are thick with dust and age. You cannot help but wonder; just how long have you slumbered, and what has happened in that time?<br/><br/>You awaken in a small, circular room with a dozen stasis caskets lining the walls. The room is low-ceilinged and lit only by two flickering emergency luminen globes. Besides the caskets, there is a cogitator column in the centre. The column’s display screen is operational, with a blinking series of status updates. There is also a single, closed hatch in the wall of the crypt, with the legend “Stasis Crypt XX” above it."

The Emperor is a powerful man of great strength, intelligence, and Iron will. He leads the humans within his kingdom in times of war. He lives within the capitol city of Kor within a impressive castle. The people are hard working and the land is thriving with fertile lands and wealth. Yet visions of unknown danger hovers over parts of the population.<br/><br/><strong>The Elven forest</strong>known as the Emerald forest. It houses 4 noble blooded elven city states that have ruled for thosands of years, and a large council city at it's heart. They keep to themselves within their forest. Whatever is affecting Kor they know nothing of nor care it seems.  They are to the east of Kor.<br/><br/><strong>The Mountains of Sorrow</strong>. Directly north for the elven empire is a massive mountain range that no one goes to. Dwarfs are rumored to have fortresses littering the mountainside but few can prove this. People that go in come out scarred and changed.<br/><br/><strong>The wastelands.</strong>Farther east of the Elven forest is a large wasteland of mud filth, and war. Orcs and orc warlords battle over this area to no end just to fight. No material wealth is in this area and the elves of the eastern end of the forest always are on patrol to prevent and invasion.<br/><br/><strong>The Booshites:</strong>North of the Empire of Kor is the steppe lands of the Booshe Barbians. Always skirmishing with the Kor military since as far as people can remember, no one knows why.

She is dressed in a dark blue tunic and trousers, the tunic doing little to hide her breasts as it is so tight, or the slim figure she has.  Just how her clothing fits she seems to be unaware off, or does she?<br/><br/>She has a shortsword strapped to her waist and a backpack from which hangs a shortbow otherwise she seems to carry little to distinguish her.<br/><br/><br/>Character Concept:<br/>Tess freely admits that unlike many of her fellow rouges she missed out on the poverty, the drunken parents, the dead parents and all that they used to explain why they stole. She came from well off parents, had plenty of money and a good education. Basically she just liked to steal and if a man was dumb enough to fall for her looks and mistook her hands on his body for lust rather than searching out his valuables then that was his tough luck.<br/><br/>Although she had this thing, this thing that she hated in herself, she just could not bring herself to steal from the poor. Of course she would rather die than admit she had a good side, instead she justified it on the grounds that what was the point in stealing a poor mans purse full of copper when a rich mans was full of gold. Still it was troubling but she was sure she would grow out of it.<br/><br/><br/>Short Background:<br/><br/>Tess is the youngest daughter of Lord Dlan of North Wood Manor a respectable middle ranking noble family. Her brothers have done the family well, the eldest is showing great skill in managing the family estates, the younger is now A knight of The Rose and serving the cause of good well indeed.<br/><br/>Whilst she is well aware of what is intended for her, a good marriage. And whilst her girlfriends chatter on endlessly about this lord or that and who their family will marry Tess's thoughts are elsewhere. Moving quietly around their houses at night, items vanishing lead to more than one servant being dismissed for suspected theft whilst Tess rides home in her carriage the loot safety stashed in her bags.<br/><br/>But like all things her life is coming to and end, the heir to the Lordship of Merton has been selected as her prospective husband. Leaving Tess with the choice of marriage to a man who whilst rich has the facial appearance of a pig or leaving quietly in the night and heading for a life on the road.<br/><br/>"

Now enjoy the intro and let’s get this ball rolling. </em></span><br/><br/>Upon the borders of Kor and the Emerald forest a numeral amount of merchant exchange stations. These outposts prevent people and products of illegal nature from entering and exit both empires. Normally they are small towns or just a single tower with a few guards. Merchants and farmers flock to these places monthly to learn about the comings and goings of goods and news from the shippers. Guards in the local area are handpicked from soldiers from the capitol. These bright promising individuals have high moral standards and Kor military discipline.  But merchant stations wear on everyone. Brothels and bars spring up at nearly every station and back alley deals with drugs are everywhere. Money flows from hand to hand in these places but people keep themselves quiet. Deals with guards and locals make the worst events being a simple broken window or a missing candle stick due to a disagreement. But at one such station, known as Bishan, will start a change that will affect the whole of all empires within the known world. It all begins with a single question….<br/><br/>Bishan, a place of budding wealth and grow reputation, is a good, clean, and carefully watched merchant station. Everyone comes and goes through the station at some point for major goods and deals towards the Emerald Forest. Merchants of all trades head out towards the Emerald Forest, wearing the finest fashions and jewels only to come in rags and despair.  Some make their fortunes of course and they control large estates within the Kor Empire.<br/><br/>Merchants generally employ a number of guards for their caravans for Bishan outskirts are littered with bands of thieves and murders, where town itself is a haven of safety.  It is here that you find yourselves, seeking your passions. For Bishan allows access to many parts of Kor and into the Emerald forest. Even Bishan itself is a place to gain employment as a guard, assistant, and even deal with back alley trades. A number of establishments are littered about the area, but the main attractions are a few choice areas. The barracks, where the soldiers of Kor and merchant guards relax and trade tales, the tavern, where people drink and tell tales as well as make deals, the brothel, where people relax and make deals and trade information back and forth and then the merchant lane, where merchants trade goods and make deals. Everyone goes through the merchant lane as they enter in to the town and guards are posted in pairs or groups about the area, wearing simple leather armor and spears with shields. They are wearing the colors of Red and Yellow for Kor soldiers or the darker colors of merchants.<br/><br/>Local gossip has been about the visions from the capitol and people claiming to have visions. Elves that go into Bishan laugh about the dreams and claim to say that prices will only go up if they continue their silly tales. Merchants fear price increases and the influx of wandering bands of people. This causes the merchants to increase their guards upon their caravans as they take their goods into Elven markets and Kor itself. You find yourselves upon the merchant quarter, weather staying within the town for the past few days or just wandering in. Merchants try to draw your attention with their wares, Prostitutes bat an eye towards you and hold a lingering smile, towards both men and women. While the tavern is in full swing with the roars of song and dance.<br/><br/>Guards go about their routines, smiling and chatting to the locals while checking goods and arresting drunks. A typical day it seems but something hovers in the air. A feeling of worry that can’t be found. People seem alright but weather it’s the day, the sun, or just a bad feeling none of you can’t seem to place it. Pushing it off as a bad feeling to rise to the day and push out entering into the merchant lane. Nearly as soon as you arrive you hear the sounds of a grouping crowd near the middle of the lane. Guards have dropped from their posts as they head towards the area. From your location you see people are drawn to something but you cannot see what. You overhear something about a merchant and rewards of gold for an easy task. What that is you don’t know. The mood seems to shift the more you listen to one of excitement and curiosity. Looking towards the crowd you wonder about your next step.<br/>"

The roads to her last established location prove themselves hazardous in these times she, herself, greatly skilled at hiding her track -- in truth, I would admire such a quality were it not the cause of such ire for your lordship, but I have digressed. I pray that, in your wisdom, you might find patience and rest knowing that I have it in great authority that your daughter is still in fine health.“</em><br/><br/>[<strong>...</strong>]</div><br/>Narrow sighed. He took time for a second read-through of the letter to make sure it was fit for sending. How he hated kissing the arses of his higher profile clients. Alas, they were invariably ones with the money -- money he needed to continue funding his carefree wandering of the world -- so he had to bite the figurative bullet on that one. Speaking of which, the reward for retrieving Tess definitely but slowly must be dwindling to a modest sum as he took time which, hardly seemed worth the trip back at this point. The only real reason he hadn’t turned in his resignation as of yet was to prolong their initiative in hiring anyone that might get on their trail. He still fully intended on taking Tess back to her family, even knowing how she felt on that issue; shirking out from the job mid-contract would likely end up affecting opportunities for other high-paying clients. It’s just that he simply couldn’t bring himself to go behind her back after what she had done for him. He would just wait until he felt he had repaid her before continuing. At least, that was the thought. But while the mind told him to plan for one outcome, his gut told him to prepare for another. A life-debt wasn’t something that would disappear shortly. He could only write so many apology letters.<br/><br/>He slipped the letter, along with 3 silver, to a servant in a merchant caravan that was scheduled to stop in vicinity of the address for supplies 3 days later so that he would act as missive. Said letter had taken longer than expected to write -- he would be late in meeting Tess again. He hoped she wasn’t getting herself in trouble while he was gone; the number of wealthy targets concerned him. Narrow wasn’t morally opposed to her stealing, he just felt that with all the work she had to do to cover her tracks might as well be put to use doing work that wouldn’t require him to bail her out should she fail.<br/><br/>The way over on to the Hungry Duck, Narrow noticed the busy crowd; a feat rather hard<em>not</em>to accomplish. Along with that, he thought he heard the voice of a woman from up high. And sure enough, Narrow’s senses had not failed him: as he curiously looked toward from whence the words emanated, he found himself pleasantly rewarded with quite a view. A rather well-endowed gnomish lady leaned out the window, her bare cleavage shielded by but a forearm. Unconsciously, Narrow had let out a cat call before he blushed, realizing the whistle might’ve been loud enough to hear. He quickly continued on his way, taking a shortcut through the crowd. Apparently someone was willing to fork out some money for some kind of task. Normally it would’ve totally been the kind of thing Narrow would wind up getting himself involved with, but for right now he was accompanying Tess to... really now, where<em>were</em>they going? Before recalling ever having a destination, he wound up walking by his companion as she joined in the crowd.<br/><br/>”Eh? Tess?” Narrow noticed she was trying to listen in on the man who was hiring. Narrow grinned slightly. Maybe he could get in on the job after all... “Oi, you interested in this? I normally do these things for income as they allow lots of travel, though I haven’t had a chance to take any new offers up since we met. Sounds like a good time as any if you want to start giving these a try.”<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>HP:</strong> 12/12<br/><strong>AC:</strong> 12 [explorer’s outfit]<br/>Money after payment: 46 GP, 5 SP [5 SP cost for delivery based on 2 SP for parchment and 1/sp per day for 3 (pulled this number out my ass)  days untrained labor]<br/>Perception: 22 [take 10 and +12 skill mod] I assume that is enough for anything covered in the post. ;p</div></div>"

Half-breeds, humans, elves, halflings, gnomes, and even a dwarf or two. All of them are looking up at a large caravan that just pulled into town. The top has been removed and replaced with a wooden stage. A closer look shows that it was a half-assed job but what really draws your attention is two small chests overflowing with gold/silver and gemstones placed upon each end of the caravan under heavy guard by half-orc merchant guards. Anyone that gets to close is swatted away with the end of a spear. Many people near the chests have a bruise or two.<br/><br/>Upon the platform is a middle aged human man with a charismatic face. He is well groomed and has short brown hair with blue eyes. His clothes are of fine wool and in deep colors of green that could only be found in the elven markets. He smiles to everyone and seems to be waiting on the crowd to grow just a bit more. A few minutes later the crowd starts to mutter as if impatient before the man raises his hand and everyone goes quiet.<strong><em>""Hello people of Bishan. How is your day fair? Well I hope.""</em></strong>He starts to walk from one end of the platform to the next as he speaks.<em><strong> ""I have traveled many weeks within the elven forest and reaped many rewards as you can clearly see. Trading my stocks and wares to great affect, gods be praised."" </strong> He paused in his walking and takes on a sour face. <strong>""But I didn't find what I was looking for and it makes all this wealth seem like nothing.</strong>"" </em>he lightly kicks a chest and coins tumble out. The front of the crowd dives upon it before the guards can intercept them as the coins it the ground.<br/><br/>Struggles ensure as the man ignores them and starts walking again around the platform.<em>""<strong>So I can see that you all seek my wealth and why not? Your all hard working and under paid ed men and women of the empire. Someone should give you a reward for your services. I will do just that."" </strong> </em>he pauses a moment as a half-orc guard gets upon the platform and holds out another chest of leather pouches.<em> ""<strong>I seek an item, a rare item within the forest borders of the Emerald forest. It has remained elusive to me for many months and weeks and my feet grow tired. I know its location now and just need for someone to pick it up for me. If you get it for me I will pay you well</strong>."" </em>He picks up a leather pouch.<br/><br/><em>""<strong>These pouch's each hold a small collection of my wealth and it can be yours if you help me. The trip will only take but a week of time. A simple week and a years worth of paid form my very hands. Or if you are faster then some I will double the amount</strong>.""</em>The crowd looks perplexed but the man pours the contents of the pouch out and gold and a gemstone fall into his hand. The crowd quickly has a number of people jump up to the front of the platform. Telling the man that they would like to help. He hands each of them a small piece of paper and a pouch and the people dash off.<em>""<strong>Come one and all. I have money to spare here. Remember the one to get me what I seek first will also get another prize from my wares. But only a true man or woman of the empire with unsurpassed skills could bring me my item within five days. So who will that be? Will it be you sir or you madam?</strong>"" </em>he points to people within the crowd.<br/><br/>While he talks people come and go from his platform. Many laugh at him for just giving his wealth away to beggars, guards, even other merchants. But as you look towards this man he doesn't seem to care for anything save what he is looking for. The gold you see in the pouches is genuine and the looks on peoples faces are eager. You need money as well for your tasks so what is stopping you?"

I thought if you leant forward anymore you would have ended up face down in them.”</em>As usual, Tess had to poke a bit of fun as they talked.<em>“Not that you would have complained but they did have some big bouncers and they might have.”</em><br/><br/>Narrow blushed and sighed contently. “By Cayden’s mug,<em>that</em>chest was a treasure of it’s own...” ‘Big bouncers’ indeed -- oh, wait: she meant the guards. To be fair, the fault lay solely with the mead. He still thought as much while sober, but he liked to think he was smart enough to not let the lasses catch on.<br/><br/>The two of them turned their attention back to the opulent treasures and their ostentatious owner. The task in question seemed something of the normal affair in Narrow’s line of business, the only thing out of place being the theatricality of it all. Some among those that had scrambled for the coins clenched one or two firmly between their teeth, or whatever they had left of them. Unnecessary: while the sheer vastness of wealth was surreal to most, if not all, and the flagrant display of such unusual (some may say suspiciously so), any man that could find the means to produce such a quantity of slugs while avoiding suspicion would know better than to be caught foolishly flaunting the counterfeits. What interested Narrow was what could the man possibly be looking that he was willing to pay up to two year’s wages?<br/><em>“I just bet you know where it is, right on top of the Red Dragons hoard.”</em>Tess played the cynic for a moment before nudging on her partner<em>“Go on then you are always going on about earning money in a proper way. Go and get one of these pieces of paper and let’s see what they say.”</em><br/><br/>“ If it were easy…” he mused coyly back to her  “He’d save the money to do it himself. Risk is a sign the coin is good. I’d be more cautious of the menial tasks with promising pay. ‘Sides: what’d be the fun in that?” He mused back.<br/>“Though there might be some hurry if he’s doubling the reward simply for finishing two days early.” Narrow pondered loud enough for Tess to pick up. In fact, why come to a merchant station like Bishon? Sure there were worse places to go about it, but if he wanted to be sure in securing the item, there were enough swords-for-hire in the city to organize a party for retrieval. Certainly be more suited to the task than throwing coins at strangers in the street. Cost clearly wasn’t an issue to this man, so the issue must be in the deadline. Narrow shrugged. “I guess some people are just impatient -- that or the money has given him nothing better to do but watch us commoners struggle like dire rats for a piece of meat. Don’t matter either way: we ain’t paid to solve the client’s problems; just do what they ask of us.”<br/><br/>Headed down on toward the improvised stage of the caravan, he moved patiently to avoid the shoving of foolhardy brutes and thugs that apparently thought accepting first would give them the extra few seconds needed to swiftly accomplish the quest. Weaving between the more indecisive applicants, Narrow grabbed a pouch and sliver of parchment, heading back to his partner before viewing the contents. On the way back he passed by a female halfing and gnome and -- wait... why was that bust familiar?<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>HP:</strong> 12/12<br/><strong>AC:</strong> 12 [explorer’s outfit]<br/><strong>Grit:</strong> 2/2</div></div>"

You'd have to say over 50 people are going out into the woods. <br/><br/>Finally the merchant and his pouches fade away and his guards start to pack up.

Getting closer you see a badly beaten man holding a shortsword looking at an Elf with exquisted elven crafted breastplate holding a gem set scimitar in his right. The elfs blonde hair is tied up in a ponytail as his eyes glitter with amusment as he advances on the human. A few swift strokes and the human is knocked aside and picked up by his fellows. ""He will not live outside of the walls of Bishan. Take him back to the inn and enjoy your gift from the merchant. Others here are waiting to leave."" the elf says calmly as another person walks up to face him. A few brief exchanges and the elf steps to one side and motions for the person to leave. ""Best of luck and may the gods watch over you and your fellows."" the elf says as the man and a few of his companions head out. <br/><br/>It seems that this elf is a gate keeper. Behind him are other groups of elves testing other areas of skill. Ranging from minor magics to abilities of stealth and concealment. Off to the side a few clerics of various faiths tend to the weak and beaten for minor coin. One cleric in particular holds only a light mace, a buckler off to his side and a few boxes of bolts. His looks are what draw your eye as he tends to another broken man and haggles with a nearby merchant for services rendered to heal such a man. Clearly the merchant is furious but the cleric will not touch the man until some coin is given. A few amusing moments later the merchant hands him a pouch and piece of paper similar to the ones you have. With a few gestures the man on the ground awakens and the merchant grabs him and pulls him away. <br/><br/>The cleric is young but not unskilled in his practice. A clear assest to any group as other warriors and groups grab a cleric here and their. Leaving this one alone to tend to the wounded. A closer look shows why he is overlooked. His body lacks a normal mans strength. Toned as he is he is weak. But when did strength factor into ones faith? A test to pass and an assest to gain best prepare for the outcomes. </span><br/><br/><strong>General Summary:</strong>In case their is any confusion the following tasks need to be met. Each PC has a particular set of skills needed to push out of Bishan and they need to show these gatekeepers they can do it. How is based on each of your key skills. Since I don't want to spend to much time on it I require three simple rolls based on your prime abilities so add your atk bonus, skills, feats in any way to show that you can make it pass the gatekeepers test. Then of course post what you are doing. Impressing the gatekeepers can bring minor rewards.<br/><br/>New idea: Go to OOC"

Food is eaten quickly as you know others are also working on a way to clear the path ahead and seek out the treasures of the ruins. <br/><br/>When you break camp and head down the path you stumble upon the camp that you saw last night. But it seems to be in complete disorder and a great deal of the supplies and scattered about the place. Upon closer inspectation blood is seen near the bedrolls in large amounts. But no bodies or valuables to be seen. You recall hearing nothing coming from the woods but a small struggle seems to have taken place. Outside of yourselfs you see nothing about save some tracks on the main road that would of been others travelling down the same path towards the ruins. Somthing happened here but investigation could delay you getting to the ruins. </span>"

At the end of the second round, the Chaser may attempt to score by rolling Marksmanship/Thrown vs the keeper's Agility roll.<br/>Whether or not the attempt succeeds, the quaffle ends up in the hands of a randomly determined Chaser on the opposite team.<br/><br/>Seekers begin looking for the Snitch immediately.  The DC begins at 24 and goes down by 3 every time a goal is scored.  Once the seeker ""sees"" the snitch, he may begin chasing it.  Agi+fly determines racing speed.  The Snitch has an Agi of 5, 6 in the pro leagues.  The first player to outrace the snitch three times gets a chance to catch it by succeeding on an agi+acr roll DC 12.  If the roll fails the seeker must ""start over"" with the awareness roll no longer necessary.  Once a seeker spends one round chasing the Snitch, the opposing seeker gets a +3 to his roll to see it.<br/><br/><br/>Wizard duels (fights)<br/><br/>Both wizards roll initiative (Reflexes+Quickness)<br/>The one that goes first attacks using Marksmanship-3 or Fighting vs CD (Athletics + Agility) to hit.  For every 5 that the attack roll succeeds by, the wizard receives a +3 on his affects roll (below)<br/><br/>Roll Magic/(specialty) vs passive Endurance/Fortitude or Will/Discipline (depending on the spell).  Once three total successes are scored the duel is over (Note that three successes can be scored in one hit by beating the opponent's passive resistance by 10).<br/><br/>Casting a spell<br/><br/>Every spell has a base DC between 3 and 15.  Some spells can be more difficult based on circumstances.  Casting ""Accio broom"", for example, on a broom 5 feet away would be a DC 9.  When Harry cast ""Accio Broom"" on a broom not even within eyesight, the difficulty would likely have been a 12."

Her father was an<br/>editor of the Village Voice and her mother a fringe artist who became an<br/>instructor at NYU. Leah was an advanced student, unlike her year older brother,<br/>and found herself placed a few years ahead in school. While this was great for<br/>her academic achievement, her social life suffered as she felt out of place<br/>amongst the older students. Her brother first showed magic when he was twelve,<br/>and enrolled in the Manhattan School of Magic. However full magical training<br/>didn't begin until age Fourteen and so he transferred into a prep school that<br/>taught a mixture of magical and muggle classes. At thirteen, Leah herself<br/>accidentally caused her bed to start walking around her room, which quickly drew<br/>the attention of the magical authorities. She was also enrolled in the MSoM to<br/>start when she turned Fourteen until then she studed with a tutor to control her<br/>magic.<br/>She enjoyed her time at the MSoM, where again she became a top student and<br/>discovered her natural abilities as an animagus and her talent for artimancy.<br/>When she found out about the student exchange program, which would allow her to<br/>study in one of three different foreign school, she leapt at the chance. One, she<br/>was fascinated by the history of the European schools, especially Hogwarts; two,<br/>she loved to travel; and three, it would get her away from her brother (who seemed<br/>genuinely annoyed that his little sister seemed to have more natural magical<br/>talent than him), that is until she found out Stephen had decided to follow her to Hogwarts!<br/><br/>Her Brother: Stephen, Leah loves him of course but they have a sometimes rather<br/>intense sibling rivalry. Stephen is handsome, social, and athletic and it has<br/>always irritated Leah that her few friends would swoon over him when he was<br/>around. Stephen of course enjoyed using this to needle his younger sister.<br/><br/>The Parents: Both are quite loving and kind, and they seem to have an idyllic<br/>relationship. Her father Eugene is a quiet and even-tempered man with a love for<br/>music and the arts, but also something of a pragmatist.

Sure enough her letter came when she was 11 but daddy wasn't as happy about it...he said it was dangerous. He who must not be named had risen to power once more and there were many arguments at weather the school was even going to stay open. She chose not to remember much of her younger years, her happy memories at Hogwarts tainted by her parents arranging her to be pulled out of school. Her father sent her and her Australian born mother (Alexandria Moor) to he mothers relatives to be safe while the fight against he who must not be named raged on. Then they got the news...Sasha was heart broken, she would never see her fathers laughing eyes again. She became withdrawn and quiet and spent all of her time running and playing sports, not caring if she got hurt because it was the only thing that stopped the memories from overwhelming her.<br/><br/>Years went buy before they were told that Hogwarts was going to open again.

As a result, Robin was immersed in technology from a very early age.  By the time he received his admissions letter from Hogwarts, two years ahead of Harry's generation, he was already programming in BASIC and building circuits with electronics kits.  Where the immediate reaction most muggle-borns have to the wizarding world is to idolize magic and loose interest in muggle ways, Robin immediately began seeing ways that magic and muggle technology could potentially compliment each other to make both worlds a better place.  Frustrated that the secrecy and sometimes enmity between wizard and muggle societies stand in the way of such joint efforts, he quickly decided that his purpose in life was to unite the two societies and show wizards and muggles alike how well they could compliment each other.  Filled with purpose and ambition by the time he actually arrived at Hogwarts, he was sorted into Slytherin, where he learned to effectively pursue his ambitions, despite quickly becoming a social outcast in his House for his pro-muggle views.<br/><br/>Robin left Hogwarts after taking his OWLs, electing to pursue A levels in a muggle college instead of NEWTs at Hogwarts.  During Voldemort's return, he was busy studying mechanical and electrical engineering at a muggle college and then at University.  With his studies consuming most of his attention during this time, he was barely following events in the Wizarding world, and thus largely missed the second war.  After graduating University, he began working on designs and inventions that relied equally on both magic and technology until he heard that Hogwarts was looking for a new Muggle Studies teacher and a new Head of House for Slytherin.  Seeing these openings as a perfect opportunity to change the way the next generation of Wizards and Witches thought of muggles, he applied for both positions.  He was hired only as the new Muggle Studies teacher, however, as Headmistress McGonagall felt him too distracted and socially distant to make a good Head of House.  Now he runs a curriculum that focuses on helping young witches and wizards to see their muggle counterparts in a new light while continuing to work on his inventions and integration projects on the side.<br/><br/><strong>Base Ability Scores:</strong><br/>Agility   2<br/>Animal Handling   2<br/>Athletics   2<br/>Awareness   3<br/>Cunning   5      craft   3B   logic   1B<br/>Deception   2<br/>Endurance   2<br/>Fighting   2<br/>Knowledge   5      research   3B   magic studies   2B<br/>Magic   3      transfiguration   1B<br/>Marksmanship   3<br/>Persuasion   3<br/>Reflexes   2<br/>Status   4<br/>Stealth   2<br/>Strategy   2<br/>Thievery   2<br/>Will   3<br/><br/><strong>Flaws:</strong><br/>Naïve<br/>Coward<br/><br/><strong>Qualities</strong><br/>Academic Specialty: Muggle Studies (Taken for free by GM approval)<br/>Knowledge Focus:   Research<br/>Expertise: Craft<br/>Gifted Teacher<br/><br/><strong>Destiny Points: </strong>1<br/><strong>Wand Type:</strong>Unwieldy<br/><br/><strong>Derived Stats</strong><br/>Health: 6<br/>Composure: 9<br/>Combat Defense: 4<br/>Intrigue Defense: 9<br/>Physical Passive Resistance: 8<br/>Mental Passive Resistance: 12<br/><br/>Damage: 0-1<br/>Movement: 4 yards<br/>Run: 12 yards"

An<em>effect die</em>that has been used to impair an enemy.  Complications can be added to any dice pool to oppose the character who carries them.  Complications belong to a single character, and last as long as they narratively make sense.  If an asset lasts longer than a scene, 1PP per scene must be spent to maintain it.<br/><br/><strong>Distinction:</strong>A trait that represents characters or environments in a qualitative manner.  Distinctions can either help, adding a d8, or hinder, adding a d4 to a die pool.  Only two distinctions may be added to a die pool, and they must be a character distinction and a scene distinction.  If two distinctions are used, one must add a d8, and the other must add a d4.  More than two distinctions can NEVER be used in a dice pool.<br/><br/><strong>Doom Pool:</strong>The dice the GM uses as a default to oppose player actions, if no NPC is available, able, or interested in opposing the action.  The doom pool grows by activating player<em>opportunities</em>, and when the GM applies a distinction as a d4.<br/><br/><strong>Effect Die:</strong>A die from your dice pool that isn't an<em>opportunity</em>, and which you don't use to determine your roll result.  An effect die can be used to create an<em>Asset</em>,<em>Complication</em>, or<em>Stress</em>of equal size, or eliminate a complication die, power die, resource die, stress die, or asset die of equal size.  An effect die of d8 or greater can be used to create or remove a scene distinction as well.  If you have no dice in your die pool that can be used for effect dice, you may still apply a d4 effect die.<br/><br/><strong>Extraordinary Success:</strong>If your action total is 5 or more higher than your opponent's action total, step up your effect die.  For every 5 points that your total is higher than your opponents', your die steps up an additional time.  If your effect die steps up above d12, if you're inflicting stress, automatically stress out your opponent.  For any other effect, keep an extra effect die.  (If you've acheived a stress out effect and still have extra exceptional success, keep another effect die.)<br/><br/><strong>Opportunity:</strong>A die that rolls a 1.  The Watcher can give PP to the players for doom dice from opportunities, while players can use Watcher opportunities to step up their stunts or create resources.<br/><br/><strong>Push:</strong>A<em>stunt</em>that isn't described beyond ""I try harder!""  A push costs 1PP, and adds 1d6 to your die pool.  If you activate an opportunity, the Push adds 1d8 to your die pool instead.<br/><br/><strong>Reaction:</strong>A die pool opposing an<em>Action</em>.  If the reaction dice pool is higher, the opposing action fails, and you may spend 1PP to apply an<em>effect die</em>from your reaction roll.  Watcher characters spend 1d6 doom instead.  If the effect die of your reaction roll is higher, step down the effect die of your attacker.<br/><br/><strong>Resource:</strong>A presistent advantage like a piece of equipment, weapon, vehicle, or ally.  A resource is created from a specialty, and its die size is equal to that of the specialty -1 die step.  Resources cost 1PP, and can be created during transition scenes, or by activating a GM opportunity.<br/><br/><strong>Step Up/Step Down:</strong>Increase or decrease your die by one size.  The sizes are d4, d6, d8, d10, and d12.  If a d4 is stepped down, the effect is cancelled.  If a d12 is stepped up, either follow the special case instructions in that situation (such as stress stepped up above d12 resulting in being stressed out), step up another die in your pool, or keep an additional effect die.<br/><br/><strong>Stress:</strong>Physical, Mental, or Emotional injury and damage.  Stress may be added to your die pool like a complication.  If stress steps up over d12, your character is<em>Stressed Out</em>and takes d6<em>Trauma</em>.  Stress steps down at the end of each scene, and is eliminated at the end of each act.<br/><br/><strong>Stressed Out:</strong>When a character is too injured or emotionally strained to continue to act.  A stressed out character automatically recovers all stress at the end of the scene.  A stressed out character can also be given the ability to act by a successful<em>effect die</em>from an ally.  If the effect die to return you to play is a d12, your stress is also stepped down to d10, rather than remaining at d12.<br/><br/><strong>Stunt:</strong>A stunt is a colorful description of your character using her powers or specialties to get more power out of those traits.  A stunt costs a plot point to activate, and adds a d8 to your die pool.  If you activate an opportunity, your stunt adds a d10 to your die pool.<br/><br/><em>Trauma:</em>Severe injuries that last for a long time.  If trauma steps up above d12, your character is eliminated from play until a plot device returns your character."

is fairly cynical and distrusting, however, once someone has earned her trust she also gives them her fierce loyalty and friendship.  Talia is extremely insightful and empathetic and finds herself trapped more often than not by this, especially when she considers her past as she feels resentful and angry at the people who manipulated her while, at the same time, understanding why they did it.  Sometimes confused, as she still has trouble differentiating her implanted memories from her real ones, Talia can become agitated, solemn, and withdrawn when this occurs.  Instead of soul searching and dwelling on the past, Talia typically handles her problems by shopping or having fun with the people she knows she can trust.  A residual personality trait of her brainwashing is her relatively low inhibitions.  Because of her natural empathy and insight, Talia has a great sense of morality, justice, and a belief that she needs to help The Authority create a better world.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Brief History:</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Talia Constotalvos was born on an American Naval base in Greece.  Her father was an American sailor and her mother was a Grecian tour guide.  Having dual citizenship, Talia was raised in Greece where her mother had family.  She had a normal and happy childhood where she excelled at dance and music.  With her grandparent’s encouragement, her mother sent her to a private school that specialized in music when she was fourteen.  By the time Talia turned seventeen, she was a pop icon in Greece and was a star on the rise across Europe and North America.<br/><br/>On her eighteenth birthday, the plane she was travelling in was believed to have crashed near the Bermuda Triangle.  The search lasted for two weeks, but no signs of the downed airplane were ever recovered and the world as a whole believed she and the other occupants had perished.<br/><br/>In truth, a mercenary by the name of Joseph Strider hijacked the plane and made it disappear.  He then handed Talia over to his employers, a group of extremists who wanted to take over the world known as The Trust.<br/><br/>With nearly unlimited funding and unsanctioned methods, they had been experimenting on different methods of mind control for the last decade.  Ready to implement the last step of their plan, they simply had to wait for an opportunity to present itself.  Talia’s flight was such an opportunity.  After Talia was delivered to The Trust, they began turning her into their weapon.  A decade of research had created effective ways of brainwashing and had invented a way to give the human voice the irresistible quality of being unquestionably obeyed.  With full control over Talia, the rising pop star was the perfect vehicle to deliver their demands.<br/><br/>Six months after Talia’s disappearance, a new star began making waves and ripples in Germany.  Disguised with blonde hair, green eyes, and full body reconstructive surgery Talia, now called Heidi, began to develop an unflinchingly devoted following.  Anyone who heard her voice became instantly enamored with her.  The commercials she spoke in created an unbelievable demand on the product the likes the world had never witnessed before.  Eventually, Steven Walker’s task force discovered what was happening, followed the trail back to Talia, and confronted her.  Knowing that her voice was what caused absolute obedience, the team subdued her without allowing her to speak.  When they ran a DNA scan on her, they found that she was actually the missing Grecian pop star.  With the help of Stormwatch, they slowly undid the brainwashing effect on Talia, reversed the reconstructive surgery, and returned her to a semblance of her previous life.<br/><br/>Fearing that she would be abducted again, Talia kept close ties with Steven Walker and the members of Stormwatch who helped her.  She learned to control her ability, attended college, and renewed her singing career.</div></div><br/><strong>Affiliation:</strong><br/>•   Solo d8<br/>•   Buddy d10<br/>•   Team

His blond hair is done in a military regulation approved cut, leaving him with a high and tight. An American flag is tattooed upon Steven's face. No emotions display upon Steven's face, and looking into his eyes, there is nothing remaining but the cold, merciless disdain of a psychopath. <br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">images</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4039/nuke2.png)<br/>(http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/9462/nuke14.jpg)<br/>(http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/9241/nuke9.png)(http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/7850/nuke3.png)<br/>(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/2231/nuke18.png)<br/>(http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/3382/thunderboltsvol1139text.jpg)</div></div><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> There was once a man of honour, duty, and integrity who wore Steven's face, spoke with his face, and inhabited his body. That man is gone now. All that remains within Steven Walker is an entity that will answer to that name, dedicated to the mission, unconstrained by conventional ethics or morality. He no longer dreams of a better world for himself or others, of a wife, child, and a suburban home host to Sunday barbeques, or any aspect of the archetypical American dream. Those died, and what remains has no use for dreams of idealized civilian life. There are no more dreams for the thing within Steven Walker. When he sleeps, it is only unfathomable darkness. When he awakens, there is only the mission, and the will to see it carried through to the end.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Steven Walker was born in the American mid-west. His parents were devout Christians, and in a twist, this meant that they took to heart the values of the religion. They loved their neighbors, helped those less fortunate where they could, and strove to leave the world a better place than they found it. Steven grew up comfortably, played sports, went to college, and enlisted in the United States Army with a naive notion that he would be giving back to the country that gave him so much. Basic training broke him down and then rebuilt him into a cog in the U.S. war machine. Action in combat brought the grim realities of what was necessary to ensure safety and prosperity at home. There was a cost in blood, sweat, and humanity, and Steven paid that price gladly until Steven was just a shell, an idea, and a distant memory.<br/><br/>Killing came as easily as breathing.<br/><br/>Steven was injured by an I.E.D., and left in a comatose state in a V.A. hospital. The extent of the damage made it seem as though Steven would never awaken, and if he did, brain damage would ensure he would not be able to function. His parents elected to pull him off life support, not wanting a shell of a son. As far as they believe, their son is dead. Instead, Steven was augmented and enhanced, then deployed in black operations. For a time, an artificial operating system governed the body. But eventually some remnant of a human being asserted itself, and Steven regained control. He remembered committing acts of terrorism on American soil and abroad, serving the needs of a shadow cabal of global rulers. He could have accepted dying for his country, but this was not to be suffered. He would not be a tool to serve the personal agendas of greedy men of power.<br/><br/>Steven vanished, and when he resurfaced, it as an instrument of vengeance against the corrupt underbelly of the world.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Character Sheet</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Affiliation:</strong> Solo: d10<br/>Duo: d6<br/>Team: d8<br/><br/><strong>Distinctions:</strong> Psycho Killer, Qu'est-ce que c'est?<br/>Black Ops Super-Soldier<br/>A History of Violence<br/><br/><strong>Cyborg Super-Soldier:</strong>Psychic Resistance d8; Cybernetic Senses d10; Enhanced Reflexes d8;<br/>Superhuman Durability d10; Superhuman Stamina d10; Superhuman Strength d10; Enhanced Speed d8;<br/>SFX: <i>Nano-Repair Sub-routines</i>: Spend 1 PP to recover your physical stress and step back physical trauma.<br/>SFX: <i>Combat Statistical Outcome Engine</i>: Spend 1 PP to borrow the highest die in the doom pool as an asset for your next action, then step back and return that doom die.<br/>SFX:  <em>The Terminator</em>: Step up your physical stress die and move it to the doom pool.

It would do him little good anyway, he has been in the news media since before he was born. He is the son of wealthy technology magnate Duncan Durant Jr. owner and CEO of Durant Heavy industries. Founded by Duncan Durant the first, DHI is one of the world's leading manufacturing companies even before Duncan Jr’s genius made it into one of the world's leading technology innovators as well. Growing up, Duncan III had every advantage and lived a carefully cultivated life to ensure that he would grow up to be a genius like his father and follow in his footsteps. The plan only half succeeded.<br/><br/>After seeing one of his inventions adapted for military use Duncan ran away to see what the world outside of his carefully crafted upbringing was like and getting a taste of how the other half lived, Duncan did his best to break free of his father’s plans for him using his intelligence and his inventions to try and become a hero for the everyman but met with only limited success. His father used his resources and intelligence to attack Duncan and try to drive him back into the fold, and nearly succeeded on several occasions. When Duncan was contacted about the Authority it did not take him long to accept. His father only innovated to make money, but he was otherwise a pillar of the status quo. In order to break free of his father, the status quo would have to change.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/>Duncan’s mobility enhancement suit is the invention that divided his family. It was originally designed to help with physical rehab and to dive those who had lost function in their legs the ability to walk again but Duncan’s father quickly realized it could be used to make enhanced super soldiers. The irony of using the invention the way his father wanted to in order to fight him isn’t lost on Duncan.<br/><br/>The omni-tool is a recent invention of Duncan’s based on observing some of the technologies inside The Carrier. Taking the form of a large gauntlet with a keypad and display screen on his left hand it uses an advanced form of quantum destabilization in order to transmute matter and its primary purpose is to quickly fabricate any tool, device, or element that duncan might need at a moments notice. The same technology allows it to function as a quantum computer, allowing Duncan to interface with and control any machine complex enough run on electricity. He has yet to test it on any truly intelligent machine, and doubts its ability to override something with a will of its own."

Lucky enough to win the lottery on her 18th birthday. Twice. Lucky enough to survive a plane crash without a single scratch on her. Lucky enough to trip, fall off a bridge, and land inside a spaceship after falling through a time/space anomaly. Did I mention how lucky she was yet? She spent the majority of her formative years skipping school (and not getting punished for it) to play around on the Carrier, slowly learning about it and educating herself in more interesting things like alien languages and shiftship piloting. For a normal person, she's pretty weird!<br/><br/>Despite her absurdly weird life, she's always been a fairly down-to-earth and goodnatured person. Superheroes might be rare, but she absolutely fell in love with the thought of special people fighting to protect the innocent. To her, especially in an age where governments tend to overstep their bounds and not put their people's needs first, the world truly needs superheroes willing to do what's right to protect the people above all else. Of course, not everyone shares her overly naive ideals . . or respects her insistance that she's the leader the Authority needs, despite her finding the Carrier and using it to gather heroes.

From it emerged a cyborg - a union of human flesh and blood with mechanical parts. It was designed for many things, but its primary purpose was the destruction of life. In this, it was adequate. A Majestic-class superhuman was better suited for wholesale destruction of personnel and matériel, but a Majestic-class superhuman was a lot like a nuclear device: something one did not wish to employ unless one had progressed to the point where complete and utter destruction was the only desirable outcome. This cyborg could enter, eliminate a target, and exit without causing undue alarm or evidence of its actions. Sometimes that was desirable. Sometimes it was sufficient to point a really big gun at someone while also being reasonably bulletproof.<br/><br/>American Psycho was carrying a really big gun. It was a modified M242 Bushmaster weapons system, a belt-fed automatic cannon. The belt of the weapon's 25mm shells led back through the open door, back into the carrier where an inordinately long belt of shells lay, ready for when American Psycho would employ the weapon in its high rate fully automatic firing mode. Although the weapon could achieve a rate of fire of approximately 200 rounds per minute, the relatively low number of shells that would be fired would be balanced against the fact that they were not inconsiderable in the punch they packed. The round of choice was the M919 Armor-Piercing, Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot With Tracer, which could penetrate lighter armoured vehicles, helicopters, and fixed wing aircraft. If this proved to be insufficient, then American Psycho had a second plan: he would open a door above the superhumans, leap out onto them, and simply stab them in the face with a monomolecular edged knife until they died. And if that did not work . . . well, there was a section of the Carrier that contained large bombs just for this sort of occasion.<br/><br/><strong>~American Psycho to all points. Enemy contact. Engaging at will.~</strong><br/><br/>The cyborg's eyes glowed red as his targeting computer acquired the energy signatures of the superhumans in the air. His HUD overlay was soon filled with red crosshairs. American Psycho braced himself, mechanisms in his legs, hips, and spine locking so that he could handle the weapon's recoil. He depressed the trigger, and the weapon fired, disgorging shells from its barrel at a rapid pace.

His cybernetic eyes were covered with a series of protective ablative membranes, although his HUD overlay flashed a series of warnings and reports about various systems and subsystems that were damaged and/or offline. Flashing red letters proclaimed that catastrophic systems failure was eminent. The entire left half of his body was covered in burns: the clothing he wore reduced to ash, and the synthetic skin burned away in patches to reveal synthetic muscles or the mechanical endoskeleton at the core of him. He looked like something out of an '80s James Cameron film; the pretense of human burned away to reveal the machine within.<br/><br/>""Door."" American Psycho sounded, the sound purely artificial - a servo in his jaw was damaged, and his face made no movements. The cyborg took a moment to try and rise from where the explosions had thrown him, and it took several moments to re-route power from his power supply through redundant pathways to bypass the damaged systems. As he came to one knee, American Psycho came to a realization: there was no door. ""American Psycho to all points. Radio check. Acknowledge. Over."" But his words were met with silence. A diagnostic returned the reason why: the damage to his systems was causing his nanite repair sub-routines to regard the foreign nano-machines that enabled the radio-telepathy and contact with the Carrier as a foreign intrusion and was dealing with them as such.<br/><br/>It was just grand.<br/><br/>His combat prognosticator told him that Adam was inbound.<br/><br/>Truly, a new height of grandeur was achieved.<br/><br/>""Callsign Juicey, break off attack.

""Acknowledge. Over.""<br/><br/>""Authorization acknowledged. I'm breaking formation and inbound on vector alpha minus 10. Over."" The pilot answered, and broke away from its formation, weaving through several blasts of whatever energy the superhumans discharged. American Psycho approached the ledge of the building, and then jumped. His timing was a little off as his left leg dragged, but nevertheless he landed on the body of the fighter jet. He slipped a little as the magnets in his feet did not activate as swiftly as he was accustomed to, but his repair subroutines had just about everything in order. A mental command re-routed repairs from his cloaking system to more vital systems - there was no point in playing this quiet. There had never been.<br/><br/>""Attack vector X-ray Four One Kilo. Over.""<br/><br/>""Acknowledged. Over."" The fighter jet pulled up abruptly, climbing high and escaping over the battle below. Then it evened out and dipped, as if to dive. ""Engagement distance minus 3 seconds. Going in hot. Over.""<br/><br/>""Acknowledged. Fire on my mark . . . mark."" American Psycho broadcast, and once he did, the fighter jet fired its payload of six medium-ranged missiles before breaking off. The cyborg leapt from the fighter just as it opened its internal bay doors, jumping ahead of the plane and landing splayed on the side of the lead missile.<br/><br/>""Breaking off for reload and resupply. Juicey out."" The fighter pilot broadcast, and turned tail for whatever base it had scrambled from.<br/><br/>American Psycho was rocked as the supermen turned their attention to the incoming missiles, blasting three out of the sky before they came within range. As he came within meters, American Psycho jumped free of the missiles and drew a monomolecular-edged knife from a sheathe inside the right half of his long coat. He latched onto a superman with a free hand, and began to stab the face of the unfortunate superman. He plunged the knife, again and again, before he leapt to a second, grabbing an ankle to anchor himself. The face was out of reach, but that did not stop American Psycho from stabbing: the blade found thigh and groin. It was like he was performing some sort of strange aerial parkour, and he used the supermen to push off of and grab as his knife found flesh until it, and American Psycho's right hand and arm were dripping hot, wet red.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Hip To Be Square</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">So, I'm shutting down Cloaking Field from 87 Bazillion Guns and Carrier Contact for 2PP.

Mr. Massacre would love to have penetrated flesh instead, but only a poor sport would blame a distraction from their lovely moral support.<br/><br/>No, the peerless perforator is a positive-thinker.

About a second later, her torso flopped forward with a unceremonious 'thud' as her face planted in the painfully solid brick floor, her rear rather embarassingly facing skyward.

Madeen guffawed in response, snatching the weapon from her. ""No weapon is a substitute for zeal! Remember that!""<br/><br/>Tears streamed down her face as she wordlessly nodded.<br/><br/>Madeen's face softened, and he narrowed his eyes, closing them and crossing his arms sagely. ""You just haven't learned what it means to be a fighter yet. Even a girl your size is invincible if her spirit can crush the enemy's own!""<br/><br/>And so, Miranda and her own blood-loss induced hallucinations began to debate the merit of their tactics.

His feet are steadily staggering and the beat-up armor was missing some of the spiky chunks which rendered the fear of God into the law-forsaking vagrants who typically do not fear God.

Restraint, gentlemanly...guh.<br/><br/>The sound of footsteps coming closer perked up the knight's ears. Even more reinforcements from inside the castle? More things to break? As Claire contemplated, his own body protested at the difficulty of going up against at least three more unsavory heretics, who hopefully aren't housing another fire mage. Think later. Murder now.<br/><br/>Gideon, Valerie and Bricen are soon greeted with the sight of a black-armored knight, covered in soot and cracks with bobs of magical fire that seemed to work against cultivating an image of terror.

Perhaps she was too distracted by her overly sexy friend, as she dragged her off towards one of the rooms she had found. This one was surprisingly clean, with a decent bed, and was probably used by the leader of the bandits. Releasing Maribelle's hand once they were inside, she moved over to hop onto the bed, kicking off her little shoes.<br/><strong><br/>""Well, clearly it was an excuse.

So I- wait, what?""</strong><br/><br/>All of a sudden Alice found herself bent over Maribelle's lap on the bed, robe bunched around her waist and her cloak fallen to the floor. With her little pale bottom pointed upwards, she had flushed a bright red, trying to scramble away from the older woman!

Fancy handles too, the kind that bandit-leaders would use to adorn THEIR part of the fortress. Huh. Cuddles' eyes immediately zoomed in on a familiar sight - his lady's pale rear.

A metronome of skin slaps, a rhythm of emotions that only a dancer would have the discipline to endow.

While the young chevalier still had enough nutrients in his brain he concluded that whatever Alice did, she deserved this.

She herself felt a little out of place as she was older than most of the others being sorted and as she so far knew nobody at the school. Well nobody except for her brother who, as soon as he'd heard she'd applied to transfer here, decided to do the same. She glanced over her shoulder at him and sighed, it wasn't that she didn't like him, he was her brother, and she cared for him deeply, but sometimes their rivalry got out of hand. Still, it had been nice spending a week in London with her family before coming to Hogwarts.<br/><br/>As soon as the hat fell over her ears Leah could hear a voice in her head.  ""Let's see, a few options here.  You definitely have the intelligence to be Ravenclaw, but you don't rely on it alone.  You have quite the study ethic, which would suit you well in Hufflepuff, or perhaps you wish to make the most of your talents and seek Slytherin?""<br/><br/>""Do I get to choose then? Well not Slytherin, they seem so snarky. I'd like Ravenclaw please Mr. Hat; Hufflepuff just... sounds strange,"" she responded in a soft whisper, feeling rather strange speaking to a hat.<br/><br/>""They are all a bit strange in their own way.  At least Hufflepuff's strangeness is in their name.  I still think you'd end up happier there, but I suppose we'll try RAVENCLAW!""  The last word was shouted, and the students at the Ravenclaw table all cheered.<br/><br/>Leah grinned widely and hurried to the Ravenclaw table, shaking offered hands and replying to several introductions before taking a spot some of the others opened up for her. She then turned to watch the other students finish their sorting, seeing her brother deposited into Hufflepuff, she silently thanked the hat for listening to her choice of Ravenclaw, she knew Stephen was a stretch for this house and she was glad to have some extra seperation from him.<br/><br/>She joined in the cheering then laughed as confetti rained down in the hall. This was certainly different than opening day at her old school, that had been more of a confused mass of students rushing to find homerooms and classrooms and what not. There was something a little welcoming about being put into a house, especially one with an emphasis on intelligence, as she'd always been fairly shy and so was never comfortable making friends. Now, she was grouped with people she'd be spending the better part of the year with. It was both comforting and intimidating at the same time.<br/><br/>For the moment though she pushed those thoughts away, and sat watching the welcome and listening to the other students, especially for any talk about the Transfigurations intructor."

The sorting was always interesting as the Hat's song was quirky and filled with good cheer. For each and every new person sorted into Gryffendor she cheered and clapped like all the rest, all the while listening to the murmurers and whispers that flitted around the table like an errant snitch. Her eyes were busy, observing anything and everything and coming to rest on the new teachers with as much curiosity as a basketfull of cats.<br/><br/>The potions teacher seemed nice, the ancient runes one was definitely eye catching with her shock of green hair but her eyes were drawn to the Defense against the dark arts.

She would want to talk to him, Defense was important to her and one day she wanted to be a teacher, she just hadn't made her mind up about wethere she wanted to teach yet. That thought made her eyes sweep away to the transfiguration professor and the care of magical creatures professor, observing them just as keenly.<br/><br/>She was broken from her musings as the end of Flitwick's speech sounded and confetti dropped from the ceiling.

She watched the others and was more then amused by both Professor Hall's acknowledgment (so serious!) and Professor Edgar's at which she promptly rolled her eyes and grinned thinking 'show off'.

the hungry looks.""  Sure enough, as Laksha looked out at the students, a great number of the older males self-consciously turned away, though many were caught eyeing her as well as DJ.  Professor Hall rolled his eyes at DJ's hair comments, moving his jaw around uncomfortably before turning back to his food, which disappeared rather quickly.  ""Admittedly, teaching is not exactly a passion of mine.""  He dabbed the corners of his mouth with a napkin before continuing.  ""Though I do not possess the 'gift' that Professor Trelawney does, I trust I foresee your next question.  I came to

stories of some kind.  Professor McGonagall was listening in with particular amusement until Professor Flitwick said something that made her blush.  She responded with apparent modesty before seeming to change the subject and address Professor Gates, who sighed resignedly and nodded.  They continued talking, though the mood seemed far more businesslike.  After a moment Professor Gates stood and walked over to the now empty chair vacated by Professor Hall, offering a smile to DJ and Laksha.  ""Well it seems they have the attractive professors over on this end.""  He extended a hand to each of them.  ""Steven.  They have me teaching Potions.  May I?""  He indicated the chair with his free hand.<br/><br/>Further down, at the end of the table, a drunken Hagrid seemed to have Professor Sinistra trapped in conversation, and was ensuring that her glass stayed full with some homemade brew of his.  Sinistra, by her body language, seemed to prefer not being there, but she made no attempt to leave, and politely accepted each offer from Hagrid to top off her glass.  Every time he did, she found a way to discreetly tap her glass with her wand before taking another sip.<br/><br/>The girl who was talking to Leah glanced back over to Hufflepuff before looking back to her.  ""You just seemed happy to not be in the same House.  It doesn't happen often.  Usually family members get grouped together.""  After a pause she added ""he looks cute.""  When Lily approached and invited Leah over to a different section of the table, the girl took a step back, glancing over at some of them with recognition before quietly waving goodbye.  Elsewhere on the table, an awkward-looking young man with glasses sat near a couple of younger Ravenclaws, the three of them hunched over slightly discussing something.  The boy was wearing a Head Boy badge.<br/><br/>Jimmy smiled broadly at her question.  ""I remember<em>exactly</em>how much you pleaded, and spent quite a bit of time wondering just what you were willing to do to be our Seeker last year.  I would have been willing to find out, but of course I wasn't Team Captain yet.""  He considered for a moment, his smile still broad.  ""Well, if you want the job as badly as Hagrid wants a dragon...I suppose I can give the spot to you if you get him a dragon.  Seems fair.""  He spent a minute enjoying her reaction before responding to her next question.  ""Well, tryouts will be this weekend, not sure which day yet.  So I guess you have until the start of next week to impress me in some way.""<br/><br/>At the Slytherin table, a boy with short, dark hair and a round jaw made some comment to the kids around him as Professor Edgar left.  Whatever it was resulted in several chuckles, and the majority of the students at the table seemed to be seeking his attention.  One of the, was sitting next to him, a short girl with long blond hair.  She wore a Head Girl badge on her robes, and unlike many of the students at the table, the boy actually seemed to face her when she spoke, though one might think he was the one with authority of the two.  On his other side sat a boy, also dark-haired, with a rather lost expression.  Many of the others seemed to take turns making fun of the second boy, who seemed to say little in defense.  After a few moments of it, the ringleader patted him on the back and said something, and the group seemed to change tone, nodding rather solemnly."

The smell of food was getting to him though, and he slipped into a seat across from Shylar.<br/><br/>""Have a good summer Shylar?"" he asked her as he started to get some food onto his plate. He scooped some mashed potatoes onto one side and pushed the center down with a spoon to create a bowl that was soon filled with gravy. He then grabbed a few slices of beef and a cob of corn.

My ipod and cell and stuff wouldn't work here or at my school. But in some of the outlying buildings they would. Those are where our mundane classes are held. They're not in the heart of all the magic stuff, so the computers and all work there. Plus you know, it gives the school a more normal appearance to the world. And for most wizard families the amount of magic they do at home isn't enough to really interfere with electronics, they're so mixed into mundanes in New York I don't think they could drown out all the electronics anyway.

She knew there was a dormitory, but she didn't know if they had their own private rooms or not. Back in New York, she'd lived close enough that she merely walked to school every day, it being only a few blocks away. Though she did know some girls that lived there and they had shared rooms, two to a room, with a large bathroom and showers for each floor.<br/><br/>""Oh!"" she said, suddenly remembering something ""You might be interested in this Lily, our quidditch matches, they're held underground. Seriously. We have a big stadium where the old subway tunnels used to run. I don't know how they built it, but they couldn't have people zipping around above New York playing quidditch could they. Plus since we don't have houses we play other schools, so our varsity and junior varsity quidditch teams got to travel a bit during the school year."""

Pulling a coarse brush from the saddlebags he sets it the side and then has the stableboy grab a few saddleblankets to place over the stall's fence.

While waiting for the sheriff to finish processing the murderer from the inn earlier, Galen rechecks all of his weapons, his kukri, his heavy shortbow, rechecks the joints on his gauntlet, and secures his arrows, make sure that they are undamaged from the long ferry ride to the port town."

Harrison<br/><strong>Age:</strong>18<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Happy-go-lucky<br/><strong>Bio:</strong>Growing up as the daughter of a single mother in the slums of New York, few people would claim that Michelle Harrison had anything handed to her beyond decent genetics.  However, that never stopped her from picking up where the rest of life left off.  From an early age, she developed a talent for figuring out what people wanted and didn't have, and what they had but didn't really want, and how to perform the switch.  It didn't always matter if she could really provide the thing in question, either.  The best tricks leave the other person glad that they got to go for the ride...although she's not always very talented at pulling those off.<br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/3152/004blondeingray.jpg)</div>She has a strong respect for intelligence, even if she didn't manage to get very far in her own schooling.  Then again, book knowledge hasn't gotten her very far so far in her life, and she wouldn't trade everything she's learned the hard way for a college doctorate.<br/><br/>More than once, she's gotten her revenge on someone through a convoluted scheme which ended up getting her in trouble in the long run.  When she's making things better for someone else, she doesn't have any objection with making sure the victim had a good time, nor for enriching herself substantially in the process.  By the time she was twelve, not only did her mother have enough money gifted to her not to have to work at that crummy grocery store job any longer, but they got to move out of the slums and get a taste of a better life.<br/><br/>As soon as she finished high school, Michelle started drifting, living by her wits and doing what she could to make the world a better place.  She would have gone insane trying to settle down into a 9-to-5 job, but has managed to save up enough money that she doesn't have to worry anyway.  Life is supposed to be an adventure, and she's certainly had her share.  Little did she realize how much more her life would have in store...<br/><br/>Nature:

He doesn’t just lift a blue whale by the tail and hammer throw it back into the ocean between bites of scone. He grunts and strains and struggles until he gets enough momentum behind the whale for it to leave the ground, and when he lets it go, it’s with a resounding shout of strain and a near collapse of relief as it sails out over the water. The name of this Knack, however, speaks for itself. Any action the character can perform as a feat of strength, he can perform as if it’s no effort at all. He can lift the heaviest weights with one hand while using his other hand to cover a yawn. He can throw a spear into orbit with a flick of his finger. He can scoop the beached whale up in one hand and send it skipping like a stone out into the deep water where it can move freely (if dizzily) once again. Since such feats of strength are so easy, the character can execute multiple actions while performing feats of strength.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Cat's Grace</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">This Knack imbues a Scion with the uncanny ability to remain on his feet despite treacherous terrain or an enemy’s best attempts to knock him down. For instance, a character with this Knack never suffers knockdown (see p. 198) from an attack. The player need not even roll. The character still suffers the damage, but he remains on his feet. Furthermore, a character with this Knack ignores all difﬁculty penalties based on unstable footing and treacherous terrain. He still suffers speed penalties for moving through ankle- to knee- deep water or mud, but his dice pools for actions taken on such terrain suffer no penalties.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Damage Conversion</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The Scion can spend a single point of Legend to convert all the lethal damage from a single attack into bashing damage, though an overload of bashing damage still upgrades existing bashing damage to lethal (see p. 197). This Knack cannot convert aggravated damage into anything less grave. The character cannot convert old lethal damage into bashing damage. The Knack works only on incoming damage from a single attack.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Never Say Die</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Not every Scion can knock down foes like bowling pins and scatter titanspawn body parts in her wake. Yet some are just so full of optimistic joie de vivre, even when they take a beating for some spectacular failure, that you just can’t help but love them. A Scion might be accident- prone or have an infuriating talent for picking ﬁghts with titanspawn that are out of her league, but she takes her lumps with a smile and inspires her fellows with her can-do attitude. All she has to do is ﬂash a thumbs-up, holler an “I’m okay!” or show a smile full of dangling teeth. When she does, all the Scions in her Band who can see her gain one Willpower point per health level the character has suffered (i.e., however many are marked on her character sheet at that moment). The character can inspire her fellows thus only once per scene, but she can do so even if she’s knocked to Incapacitated or killed—after which, she collapses.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Gods' Honest</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">When she’s trying to convince someone of something, the Scion puts her hand to her heart, puts her hand on a stack of Bibles, holds up her right hand with her pinkie and thumb crossed in the palm, or performs some other gesture of sincerity. (Her player also spends a point of Legend.) When she does so, her would-be mark accepts that the Scion is telling the truth about the subject at hand, no questions asked, for the rest of the story. Only solid, incontrovertible proof showing that what the Scion said was undeniably false will convince the mark he’s been fooled. Even then, who ever is showing him the proof will have to convince him that the proof is genuine and not some clever forgery. A Scion with this Knack doesn’t have to lie when she uses it. She can also use it to convince a recalcitrant skeptic of the actual truth. If the Scion does so, no mortal force can convince that person that the Scion was lying (not even professionally faked “proof” to the contrary).</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">My Eyes Are Up Here</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">As Scions build up ever more dots of Epic Appearance, they grow ever more unearthly. As such, whether they’re beautiful or quite the opposite, it becomes increasingly difficult to deal with mortal humans on their level. The Scion’s Epic Appearance can’t help but get in the way. This Knack, however, mitigates that factor. When the Scion’s player spends a point of Willpower to activate it for the scene, any mortals who see the character completely ignore his Appearance score (both Epic and mundane). Witnesses might vaguely remember that a beautiful Scion was kind of pretty or that a disgustingly ugly Scion was dirty and a little scary, but that’s it. They won’t recognize the Scion again later unless the Scion uses this Knack in their presence again, and they won’t be able to describe the Scion in great detail to anyone else. They might get height, hair color, skin tone, build and style of dress right, but details beyond those generalities prove elusive. Scions themselves are immune to this effect, as they are more than capable of dealing with the extremes that Epic Appearance represents. This Knack lasts for the scene, though the Scion can choose to turn off the effect before then. Also, while he’s using this Knack to deal with a mortal, he cannot use any other Epic Appearance Knacks against him. Nor can he apply his Epic Appearance to rolls pertaining to dealing with that mortal at all until he lifts the effect.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Telescopic Senses</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">A Scion’s Epic Perception allows him to hear, see and smell things from much farther away than mortal senses do. With this Knack, the Scion can not only perceive these sensations, but perceive them as if they were happening right in front of him. If he’s within the range at which the sound of someone’s voice can travel, he can not only hear that voice, but follow its conversation as clearly as if he were participating. If a sniper is crouched high up on a ridge line within his line of sight, the Scion can not only see him but also recognize him and count the notches on his riﬂe stock. If he’s wandering in the woods and the wind brings him the distant scent of someone’s camp ﬁ re, he can not only smell it but tell what kind of wood they’re burning, what brand of marshmallows they’re roasting and how long it’s been since they’ve had a good bath.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Multitasking</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The Scion can carry on as many separate primarily mental activities as he has dots of Legend simultaneously and with his full attention. A Scion with Legend 6 could play a game of chess against a recognized master while also playing go against a ninth-dan professional, translating a James Joyce novel into a different language, reprogramming his computer, planning a raid against the titanspawn entrenched in the historic ruins across town and itemizing his various businesses’ tax deductions for the year. The character never suffers distraction penalties for mental actions, nor are his separate simultaneous mental actions penalized as per the multiple action rules (see Scion: Hero, p. 179).</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Meditative Focus</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Whether she’s hunkered down behind a burning car in a war zone, caught out on the yard during a prison riot, stranded on the crowded deck of a storm-tossed ship or just mall-walking during the frenzied heights of the Christmas rush, the character never loses her cool. No matter what’s happening, she keeps her mind on what she’s doing while maintaining sufﬁcient vigilance to avoid getting caught up in the hubbub all around her. As such, the character is able to eliminate one point of environmental distraction penalty per dot she has of Epic Wits.</div></div><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Boons</strong></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Eye of the Storm  (Chaos •)</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Dice Pool: None<br/>Cost: 1 Legend per scene<br/>When the Scion ﬁnds herself caught up in a chaotic situation unrelated to her—whether she’s dodging a tornado’s debris or emerging from a bar to ﬁnd a berserk mob rushing toward her to clash with a line of riot cops down the street—she can activate this Boon and become an island of calm in the tumult.

When he’s locked in a clinch and has taken control of it, the character can not only inflict the normal amount of damage (see p. 202), but that damage is now lethal as well. A character can still choose to hold an opponent without inflicting damage, or he can choose to break the hold. He can even soften his touch and inflict bashing damage instead. The damage the character can inflict when his temper gets riled, though, is tremendous and often quite messy.</div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Divine Wrath</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">A Scion with the demigod range of Epic Strength already needs no weapons to inflict serious damage in combat, but a Scion with this Knack is even more fearsome. The prerequisite Knack enables him to inflict lethal damage during a clinch that he controls, and this Knack builds on that to awful effect. If the Scion spends a point of Legend during a clinch, he can make a single attack inflict aggravated damage instead of lethal. What’s more, his normal unarmed combat attacks now inflict lethal damage instead of bashing damage. Keep in mind that that lethal damage is now the standard damage he inflicts unarmed, regardless of whether he spends the point of Legend to make a single clinch’s damage aggravated. The Scion can pull his punches and inflict only bashing damage if he wants to, but doing so incurs the “Flat of the Blade” rule from page 199 of Scion: Hero.</div></div><br/><strong>DEXERITY</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">And the Crowd Goes Wild</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">By the luck of the divine genetic draw, the character is superbly suited to athletic pursuits. She excels at any sport she plays, even if she’s never so much as heard of it before. Running, jumping, climbing, swimming… any athletic pursuit is second nature to her. As a result, any dice the character has in Athletics are considered to be automatic successes when the player rolls a dice pool that includes Athletics. Bonus dice granted by an Arete (see Scion: Hero, p. 149) are also counted as successes automatically if the player spends a point of Legend when her character performs the action. Values that derive from a character’s Athletics rating (such as Dodge DV or the feats of strength total) are not affected by this Knack, nor are any Boon activation rolls that might call for Athletics </div></div><br/><strong>STAMINA</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Body Armor</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> The Scion’s body is so tough that, even unarmed, he can parry close-combat attacks that would inflict lethal damage. If a berserker hopped up on Jotunblut or a thrall full of eitr tries to split the Scion’s skull with a fire ax, the Scion can take the blow on his forearm and knock it aside without serious injury. (That assumes the character’s Parry DV is sufficient to cancel out the attack roll’s successes, of course.) While that benefit remains in effect all the time, the Scion can also engage a temporary one that offers even more protection. With the expenditure of a Legend point, a measure of the Scion’s ichor wells up from within and coats the Scion’s body. This coating hardens into a gleaming, metallic armor that’s no thicker than a hair’s breadth. This armor has a bashing and lethal soak equal to the character’s Legend, and it inflicts a mobility penalty of only -1. The ichor coating is thin enough to fit comfortably beneath one’s clothing, so it adds its protective value to that of any other armor the character might already be wearing. Natural armor from this Knack lasts for only one scene and disintegrates at the scene’s end.</div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Self Healing</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The Scion’s player spends a point of Legend to repair a single level of damage. That damage can be bashing or lethal, and the healing takes place in an instant without leaving a scar. (Aggravated damage is beyond the power of this Knack to heal.) Scions who are interested in building their reputation and spreading their legends quickly find this Knack to be one of the more effective tools of doing so, as bruises, lacerations and bullet holes vanish before astonished onlookers’ eyes </div></div><br/><strong>CHARISMA</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Girls Just Wanna Have Fun</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> This Knack is a character’s trusty Get Out of Jail Free card. When the character gets into trouble with some angry witness or authority figure be it the police, a mortal parent, one’s long-suffering spouse, etc. he need only shrug haplessly, grin foolishly or do likewise. (His player also spends a point of Legend.) At that, the offended party decides that whatever the character did wasn’t really that bad. The character gets a slap on the wrist, a stern warning or no punishment at all, depending on when he chooses to use it. This Knack doesn’t work on anyone with a higher Legend rating, though. Also, if the character wants to use it against someone with an equal Legend rating, his player must roll (Charisma + Presence+ Legend) against a roll of the potential victim’s(Willpower + Integrity + Legend).</div></div><br/><strong>MANIPULATION</strong><br/><br/><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Game Face</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">This Knack functions identically to Dreadful Mien (see Scion: Hero, p. 133), but functions for characters with positive Epic Appearance. Just because they’re handsome or beautiful doesn’t mean they can’t be scary as hell when they snarl at their foes or flash a razor-edged, you-know-I’m-going-to-kill-you smile.</div></div><br/><strong>PERCEPTION</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spatial Attunement</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The Scion is so aware of his surroundings that his other senses (primarily those of hearing and smell) compensate for his eyes in identifying nearby objects outside his line of sight. The Scion could recognize the person sneaking up on him by that person’s telltale scent and mark exactly how far away that person is by the sound of his passing. With one quick glance around the room, the Scion could mark in his mind exactly where every wall and piece of furniture is within. Having done so, he could then navigate the room with his eyes closed, even slipping through a milling crowd of people without bumping into anyone or anything. To a certain extent, the character can perceive what’s going on around him in a 360-degree arc. Also, he suffers no penalties for fighting blind as long as he can hear or smell his opponents </div></div><br/><strong>INTELLIGENCE </strong> <br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Fast Learner</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">By buckling down and intently studying certain subjects,the Scion internalizes them in a fraction of the time it would take a lesser intellect. In so doing, he cuts the experience point cost for purchasing dots in Academics, Medicine,Occult, Politics or Science in half, rounding down. </div></div><br/><strong>WITS</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Eternal Vigilance</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Similar to the Environmental Awareness Knack(see p. 64), a Scion with this Knack is never taken by surprise by unexpected attacks. He joins battle as soon as the attack occurs, and he applies his full DV to his own defense. It doesn’t matter whether the attackers use supernatural means of concealment or not. They simply cannot catch him off guard. Unfortunately, this Knack doesn’t help the Scion’s comrades. The Scion reacts as the surprise occurs, but he does so practically subconsciously and not in time to warn anyone else. What’s more, this Knack works even if the Scion is asleep, though to a lesser extent. If the Scion is sleeping and someone tries to spring an unexpected attack, the player rolls the Scion’s full dice pool to notice the attack as he would if the character were awake (awake and didn’t have this Knack, that is). If the roll succeeds, the character wakes just in time to react to the attack, though still not in time to warn anyone else. </div></div></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">BOONS</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>CHAOS</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Eye of the storm</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">When the Scion finds herself caught up in a chaotic situation unrelated to her whether she’s dodging a tornado’s debris or emerging from a bar to find a berserk mob rushing toward her to clash with a line of riot cops down the street she can activate this Boon and become an island of calm in the tumult. She is miraculously untouched in the confusion, and she remains so for as long as she doesn’t actively involve herself. She still suffers normal environmental movement penalties, but environmental dangers such as falling rocks, stampeding beasts or thrashing rioters all fail to touch her. </div></div></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">TRAITS</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>VIRTUES</strong><br/>Duty •••<br/>[ ][ ][ ]<br/>Harmony •<br/>[ ]<br/>Intellect •<br/>[ ]<br/>Valor ••••<br/>[ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/><br/><strong>LEGEND</strong> ••<br/>Legend points: 4/4<br/><br/><strong>WILLPOWER</strong> ••••• •• <br/>[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">COMBAT</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Join Battle:5 [+1 auto] <br/>Dodge DV:6 <br/><br/><strong>SOAK</strong><br/>Bashing:5 <br/>Lethal:3 <br/>Aggravated:1 <br/><br/><strong>ATHLETIC</strong><br/>Move:6<br/>Dash:13<br/>Vertical Leap:8 <br/>Horizontal Leap:16 <br/>Lift:650lbs [+500lbs]<br/><br/><strong>WOUNDS</strong><br/>[][][] 0<br/>[][] -2<br/>[] -4<br/>[] Inc</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">WEAPONS</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>WEAPON:</strong>Clinch<br/><strong>SPD:</strong>5<br/><strong>ACC:</strong>14[+1 auto]<br/><strong>DAM:</strong>8B/L<br/><strong>DEF:</strong>N/A<br/><strong>RNG:</strong>N/A<br/><strong>Tags:</strong> P<br/><br/><strong>WEAPON:</strong>Light punch<br/><strong>SPD:</strong>3<br/><strong>ACC:</strong>14[+1 auto]<br/><strong>DAM:</strong>8L<br/><strong>DEF:</strong>6<br/><strong>RNG:</strong>N/A<br/><strong>Tags:</strong><br/><br/><strong>WEAPON:</strong>Heavy punch<br/><strong>SPD:</strong>4<br/><strong>ACC:</strong>13[+1 auto]<br/><strong>DAM:</strong>11L<br/><strong>DEF:</strong>5<br/><strong>RNG:</strong>N/A<br/><strong>Tags:</strong><br/><br/><strong>WEAPON:</strong><br/><strong>SPD:</strong><br/><strong>ACC:</strong> <br/><strong>DAM:</strong><br/><strong>DEF:</strong><br/><strong>RNG:</strong><br/><strong>Tags:</strong></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">TROPHIES</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">None for now</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">PERMANENT FATEBONDS</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">None for now</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">BONUS/EXP SPENT</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>BONUS</strong><br/>4-Strength<br/>4-Stamina<br/>2-Brawl [4,5]<br/>1-Melee [2]<br/>3-Self Healing<br/>3-Divine Wrath<br/>3-Tinkerbell Tattoo<br/><br/><strong>EXP</strong></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">HISTORY</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">“So you want to know about my life before joining the MMA?”  Lan-Mei asks as she looks at the reporter.<br/><br/>“Well yes I do or more accurately your fans do.”  the reporter replies back as he gives a small smile. “Tell you what how about we start with something small like how did you get your nickname?”<br/><br/>“Oh well that is rather simple as it is a variation of my name. If you translate my name into English you would get Sapphire Beauty but the color sapphire is considered to be very unlucky in my country.”  Lan-Mei replies as she returns the smile.<br/><br/>“Ah I see and someone who is unlucky is sometimes referred to as a jinx. Is that it?” the reporter asks as the meaning behind her name finally dawns on him.<br/><br/>“Yep that is exactly it.”  Lan-Mei says as she gives a small chuckle. “I am the Unlucky Beauty.”  <br/><br/>“Well that is all very interesting but what the fans are really wondering about is where did you come from. I mean you are an excellent fighter and could very well become one of the top if not the top female MMA fighter known yet no one knows anything about your past aside from the fact that you where born somewhere in China.”<br/><br/>Lan-Mei looks at the reporter for several moments before she finally speaks. “Well to be honest I have no idea why people are interested in my past but I will tell you what I can.”<br/><br/>Leaning forward in her chair and placing her elbows on her knees she rests her head in her hands as she continues to speak. “Well the first thing you must understand is I never knew my parents as they died not to long after my birth quite literally from what little information I was able to gather. According to what I was able to dig up I was the only survivor of the massacre that occurred at the brothel I was born at. They say that some crazed cult believed the site held some mystical power and wanted to use the sin of the brothel to raise their unholy Master.”<br/><br/>“Wait just a moment.”  The reporter says as he holds up his hand to stop her. “Let me get this straight you were born in a brothel during a massacre?”<br/><br/>“Yea, according to what little bit of information I was able to piece together.”  Lan-Mei replies with a  shrug of her shoulders. “I mean the Chinese government is known to cover up things to the outside world so I am not surprised if it's not generally known to the public. Hell it took me some years just to find out that much.”<br/><br/>“Alright then please continue.”  <br/><br/>“Right as I was saying I never knew my parents and seeing as I was a newborn I got the joy of being raised in a state run orphanage. Now as bad as they try to make them sound in the news I have to say that I was treated rather well. I am not saying I didn't have problems but overall I had a well adjusted childhood growing up in there.”<br/><br/>Stopping for a moment she furls her brow as if she was thinking about something. “You know now that I think about it they may have been given me preferential treatment due to the fact that I was very sickly as a child. I remember having to spend most of my early years in the hospital until I was around age four. Of course after that I never gotten sick again not so much as a a common cold.”<br/><br/>“So you actually did not enter into the orphanage until then?”<br/><br/>“Correct I was still a ward of the state but I was simply stuck in a hospital for the first part of my youth, but yes as far as being in the orphanage itself I did not enter it until I was four.”  <br/><br/>“Well I must say that you have already lived up to your nickname and we have not even got to your teenage years yet. I can't wait to hear what happened during that time.”  The reporter replies as he shakes his head.<br/><br/>Lan-Mei leans back in her chair and lets out a hearty laugh, “That is so very true but thankfully my tragedies do not get worse after that. In fact they became somewhat normal from the viewpoint of an orphan.”  <br/><br/>The reporter gives Lan-Mei a quizzical look. “You know you seem to take your past very lightly considering all that has happened to you.”<br/><br/>“Oh no do not get me wrong I do take my past very seriously for it's what shaped me into the person I am today. If not for those tragedies I would not have the strength to fight for what I believe in and not for the people who guided me and taught me right from wrong I would not have the morals I needed to be such an upstanding person.”<br/><br/>“Oh I see well then lets talk about the ones who have helped you to be who you are and how they shaped you.”  the reporter replies.<br/><br/>“Um sure I can do that.”  Lan-Mei replies, “I guess the first person to change my life would be the nurse who took care of me during my hospital stay. She was a very devout christian and she would read the bible to me every night before bed. In fact she was the one who taught me to read and write English using that very same bible.”<br/><br/>“Wow I've heard of people learning to read and write using the bible but you mean you actually did it as a second language by the time you was four that is pretty amazing. So did that cause any trouble with you learning your native tongue”<br/><br/>“Oh no not at all. I mean she would speak to me in Mandarin but once I was older she started teaching me other things like English, math the sciences and what have you. She felt that just because I could not physically move that didn't mean I should not develop my mental skills.”<br/><br/>“So she helped you to form your moral compass as well as helped you in your education. So who else helped you as you grew up. In particular how did you develop your unique combat style?” <br/><br/>“Ah yes that.”  Lan-Mei says as small smirk crosses her face. “Remember earlier when I said that I had to deal with the basic problems all orphans faced. Well the biggest thing that we had to deal with was the local gangs wanting to use us as mules to carry their products whether it be drugs, guns or what have you. Well I was the stubborn fool who would always tell them to go to hell and proceeded to take an ass whooping for it but it taught me how to fight even if I lost more than I'd win.”<br/><br/>“So you'd end up spending more time in the hospital I take it?”<br/><br/>“Well not really spending time. After all if I had broken bones then I couldn't be used as a mule but I'd have quite a few bruises and scrapes but it did toughen me up.”  <br/><br/>“Anyway I eventually got pretty good at defending myself to the point that I'd actually win more than I lost and that brought me to the attention of this older lady from the neighborhood. To tell the truth when I first met her I did not know what to think of her but she took me in and....”<br/><br/>“And taught you an ancient martial art right?”  the reporter blurted out.<br/><br/>“No actually she didn't.”  Lan-Mei replied as she gave the reporter a playful wink. “Apparently the way I moved reminded her of the days from back when she was a member of the Peking opera house and she felt that I had the skills to become a member so she taught me the art of dancing, singing, and even gave me some training in acrobatics.” <br/><br/>“Wait so you became a member of the Peking opera. How did you go from that to the MMA?”<br/><br/>“I never did actually become a member of the opera house though I did study with them for a few years and it was there that I got the start of my training in combat but in the end I just didn't have the acting chops to make the cut. After that I got a job at a local mechanics shop and it was during that time that I started to truly learn how to fight.”<br/><br/>“Do tell?”  the reporter says as he sits forward in his chair.<br/><br/>“Well that local gang I mentioned earlier they had gotten quite a bit larger during the years I was away and they still had a beef with me for humiliating them and wanted payback.”  Lan-Mei said as her eyes glaze over as she starts to go back in time.<br/><br/>“So one night as I was leaving the shop after close a few of the tougher members came up on me and they where looking for blood. I used the skills I had learned to give them a good scrap but frankly I was way out numbered and out skilled. The next thing I felt was the coldness of the blade as it sliced into my gut right before darkness overtook me.”<br/><br/>“So I take it that is were the scar you kiss  right be.....”  the reporter starts to say until Lan-Mei stares him down.<br/><br/>“You got it that is the scar I kiss right before my matches.”  she finally says after a few moments of silence. More so to make sure that she was not interrupted again. “Anyway I woke up a a few days later but not in a hospital. Instead I was in someones house and that person was actually in the process of changing the bandages on my wound.”<br/><br/>The reporter look as if he wanted to say something but holds his tongue.<br/><br/>“Did you wish to say something?”<br/><br/>“Actually yes why did this person not take you to the hospital and who where they anyway?”  the reporter finally blurted out.<br/><br/>“Well that is simple because the person who rescued me was the nurse that took care of me back when I was ill as a child.”<br/><br/>“Oh.....well then I guess she would know how to treat a stab wound then”<br/><br/>“Yes she would but it turned out that she knew more than that it seems.”  Lan-Mei says with a grin. “Not only was she a devout christian but she also had a fascination with oriental fighting and held belts in multiple styles. In fact she had developed her own unique style using what she had learned and after seeing me hold my own against those gang members decided that I would be her first student that she would teach it to.”<br/><br/>“So is there anything else?”  the reporter asks after Lan-Mei was quiet for several minutes.<br/><br/>“Well maybe...”  Lan-Mei replies, “But I think I'd save that for another day.”  </div></div><br/><br/>"

Simply having Epic Strength enables a Scion to perform prodigious leaps that leave mortals standing slack-jawed with wonder. For example, if a Scion has Strength 5, Athletics 3 and Epic Strength 3, she can jump 12 yards straight up or 24 yards forward. (See “Movement” on p. 180\.) This Knack, however, doubles a Scion’s vertical and horizontal jumping distances.

Furthermore, a character with this Knack ignores all difﬁculty penalties based on unstable footing and treacherous terrain.

By spending a point of Legend and taking a single, sweeping glance around the scene of a crime, the Scion entitles his player to a reﬂexive (Wits + Investigation) roll. If the roll succeeds, the Scion can tell what crimes were committed at that scene (if it was more than one), how many perpetrators were involved, how long ago it happened, roughly the sequence of events that took place and what means the perpetrators employed to cover up evidence. The difﬁculty of the roll should reﬂect how long ago the crime occurred, how contaminated the crime scene has been since then and how thorough the criminals were in covering their tracks. This Knack doesn’t reveal speciﬁc, plot-sensitive information that isn’t readily apparent (such as who the perpetrators actually are), but it should provide enough clues in a single glance for the

class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">History</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Starting with his name, Danny's life had been riddled with bad luck.  It was about the most ridiculous name he'd heard of, made somehow worse by the fact that no part of it, by itself, was particularly bad.  Aside from mild teasing, his childhood had gone relatively simply.  Once he began his teens, however, that changed.  With his mom as a single parent, they had never had much money.  Not only did she never have a high-paying job, but even the mediocre ones she was able to get quickly fell through, whether it was the company going under or some other unfortunate incident leading to her losing her job.  She'd tried finding a man to help out, but any attempt at a relationship quickly turned disastrous.  Sometimes his car would break down on the way to pick her up, or maybe an old fling would turn up at a bad time.  For whatever reason, Danny couldn't think of a time where his mom was actively dating someone, and more than once she'd remarked that she hadn't met an even halfway decent man since his father, though she had know idea who he was.<br/><br/>By the time he was 15, his mom was beginning to lose control.  Constant loneliness and stress had taken its toll, and where she had once been a beautiful woman, she had grown to look ten years older than she was.  She could have passed as his grandmother, and sore joints from past on the job injuries did little to help.  Jobs became more scarce, and they slowly slipped further and further into poverty.  Though she'd done her best to keep him interested in school, resulting in his having initially been a brilliant student, constant discipline problems and mishaps with school projects had already all but guaranteed that he would not be eligible for any academic scholarships, even though he did well in track and field events in high school.  He started getting in fights at school, though they never lasted long.  Teachers seemed to appear the moment Danny lost his nerve and threw a punch, and he would get in trouble.  In sophomore year, discipline problems led to his expulsion from the track team, thus sealing his chances at success.<br/><br/>At 16, his mom worked for a hardware store, the first semi-permanent job she'd had in years.  Danny was only putting in enough effort to not get kicked out of school.  In his spare time, he'd picked up a job as a delivery man for a small company, using a company car since he didn't have one of his own.  Unsurprisingly, he arrived at work one day to discover the company had gone out of business.  Nodding in resignation, he'd headed home early, opening the door to see two men having sex with his mom in the living room.  The only reason she'd kept her job for so long was that she'd turned to prostitution.  They didn't talk about it more than that.  He told her that the company had gone bankrupt, and that he needed to find another job.  He left.  It was the last time he saw her alive.<br/><br/>His mom had come to the conclusion that she was bad luck, cursed, and that the only way for him to have a chance was to take herself out of the equation.  She'd killed herself that night, leaving a note apologizing for her curse.  Danny, unemployed and struggling in school, dropped out, and began a new life.  He started with his mom's last employer, who'd been using her and paying her next to nothing.  He died in what appeared to be a street robbery, his wallet gone.  There were no leads. <br/><br/>With him dead, things at the hardware store soon came up missing, and Danny found himself making a bit of money selling the stolen goods.  Multiple times the police were called, but that had become part of the appeal to him.  He'd never had a pleasant experience with cops, who for some reason had always treated him as the bad guy when they'd been called, just because he'd been poor, or ""looked no good.""  He was ready for them.  Most of the time he would just run away, nimbly climbing fences and walls, outrunning them, or sometimes even circling around and stealing their own squad cars.  Some officers, though, had less luck.  Whenever a cop arrived on the scene that had treated him unfairly or had been in the news for violating citizen rights, something would end up going wrong.  Officers began dying on the job in greater numbers.</div></div>"

This Knack, however, doubles a Scion’s<br/>vertical and horizontal jumping distances.

When the character gets into trouble<br/>with some angry witness or authority figure—be it the<br/>police, a mortal parent, one’s long-suffering spouse,<br/>etc.—he need only shrug haplessly, grin foolishly<br/>or do likewise. (His player also spends a point of<br/>Legend.) At that, the offended party decides that<br/>whatever the character did wasn’t really that bad. The<br/>character gets a slap on the wrist, a stern warning or<br/>no punishment at all, depending on when he chooses<br/>to use it. This Knack doesn’t work on anyone with a<br/>higher Legend rating, though. Also, if the character<br/>wants to use it against someone with an equal Legend<br/>rating, his player must roll (Charisma + Presence<br/>+ Legend) against a roll of the potential victim’s<br/>(Willpower + Integrity + Legend).</div></div><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Manipulation</strong></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Overt Order</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Overt Order<br/>Sometimes, the direct method is more effective than<br/>the cleverest of intricate schemes. With this Knack, a<br/>Scion barks out a command that the target must obey.<br/>Doing so costs one Willpower, and the command must<br/>be one the Scion can give and the victim can perform<br/>in a single action. “Freeze!” is acceptable, as is, “Don’t<br/>shoot!” or, “Shoot him!” Ordering someone to go home<br/>and shoot his wife won’t work because doing so would<br/>take longer than a single action.<br/>A victim of this Knack can interpret the command<br/>loosely to make it not directly suicidal, but not if all<br/>he’s trying to do is keep out of trouble. For example, if<br/>a victim draws a gun and the Scion commands him to<br/>shoot himself, the victim can shoot himself in the hand<br/>or the foot rather than blowing his own brains out. Same<br/>thing goes if a Scion uses this Knack at a seedy pool<br/>hall to command a smarmy drug dealer to pick a fight<br/>with a burly ex-con at the next table. The dealer might<br/>reasonably believe that the ex-con could kill him, but he<br/>still can’t weasel out of the command. He doesn’t have to<br/>walk up and take a swing at the guy, but he still has to do<br/>something, such as singing out a racial slur or throwing a<br/>beer bottle at the guy’s girlfriend.

Whether she beckons<br/>across a crowded room, emails a picture of herself along<br/>with an invitation or sends a picture message from her<br/>phone with the text caption “GYAOH,” the object of<br/>her desire makes all due haste to reach her. The Scion’s<br/>player spends a Legend point, and she must single out<br/>one recipient at a time. The intended target must be<br/>able to see an image of the Scion, he must understand<br/>that the message is intended for him, and he must have<br/>a reasonable idea of how to find her.<br/>Scions whose Epic Appearance represents divine<br/>ugliness cannot use this Knack.

A rare few, though, have the ability to smell<br/>(and sometimes hear) the very ichor that flows in<br/>the veins of other Scions. With just a sniff of the<br/>air, the Scion catches the signature scent that wafts<br/>off any Scion, marking the subject as more than<br/>mortal. The Scion automatically knows when she<br/>scents another Scion, be it hero, demigod or God.<br/>Indeed, her refined sense may even divulge the<br/>pantheon from which the other Scion hails, in the<br/>form of a specific flavor or memory that comes with<br/>the smell. Sometimes the triggered memory even<br/>brings with it the phantom sound of a particular<br/>music or tone.<br/>If a subject uses a Boon or Knack to conceal his<br/>identity or whereabouts, the sniffing Scion must first<br/>be able to locate the target. If she isn’t aware of theother Scion’s presence, then the sniffer won’t smell<br/>anything. This power doesn’t tell her that another<br/>Scion is lurking about somewhere, only that someone<br/>she’s spotted is a Scion.<br/>Scions in general do not have individual,<br/>personalized scents of ichor, although at the Storyteller’s<br/>discretion a God might be so powerful that his ichor is<br/>unique and distinct. Instead, a Scion’s scent depends<br/>upon his parentage. Further, even though a Scion<br/>with this Knack might catch the scent of a particular<br/>pantheon, she might not recognize what it is until<br/>she’s managed to encounter enough other Scions from<br/>said pantheon. If you have created other pantheons<br/>for use in your game, you’ll want to decide on their<br/>scents as well.<br/>Note also that titanspawn do not have a signature<br/>scent that is discernable with this Knack.

Writing the language is a bit trickier, as he can<br/>only transliterate his written words in the alphabet of his<br/>native language until someone teaches him the alphabet<br/>and punctuation of the new language. For instance, say a<br/>Scion with this Knack whose native language is English<br/>has picked up French at Orly Airport in Paris and would<br/>like to leave a thank-you note for a bartender who gave<br/>him helpful information. That Scion might write, “Maresee<br/>du mah-vay zayday,” to express his thanks, when what<br/>he really means is, “Merci de m’avez aidé.”<br/>Likewise, reading the new language can be diffi cult<br/>if that language uses characters that don’t appear in an<br/>alphabet with which he is already familiar.</div></div><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Wisdom</strong></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Don't Read the Manual</div><div class=""spoiler_body""></div></div><br/><strong>Boons</strong><br/>Night Eyes, Fire Immunity, Penetrating Glare, Blessing of Bravery, Water Breathing, Maguey Sting<br/><br/><strong>Virtues</strong> Conviction: 3, Courage: 2, Duty 2, Loyalty: 2<br/><strong>Willpower </strong> 5<br/><br/><br/><strong>Legend</strong> 2<br/><br/>Health Levels<br/>3x -0<br/>0x -1<br/>2x -2<br/>1x -4<br/>1x Incapcitated<br/><br/>Derrived Statistics   A/L/B<br/>Natural Soak         1/2/3<br/>Armored Soak        1/2/3<br/>         <br/>Defense Values   Natural   Equipped   <br/>Dodge          4          4   <br/>Parry (U)       3          3   <br/>   <br/>         <br/>Movement   <br/>        Yards Mph Kph<br/>Base   4   8.2   13.2<br/>Dash   10   20.5   32.9<br/>         <br/>Jump  Distance   <br/>Vertical   6<br/>Horizontal   12<br/>         <br/>Throw Distance   Yards<br/>Base Range    20<br/>Thrown Weapon 40<br/>Feat of Strength  2<br/>         <br/>Max Lifting Capacity   <br/>Lbs   Tonnes<br/>580   0.3   <br/><br/>BP Spending:<br/>4 on Epic Dexterity<br/>4 on Epic Charisma<br/>4 on Epic Manipulation<br/>4 on Epic Appearance<br/>4 on Epic Wits<br/></div></div>"

The<em>Knights</em>of the Imperium of Man. Terra itself is their home and in the ten thousand years since Horus was killed no foe has placed a foot upon the Realm they protect with pride. Three thousand years ago a Terran joined their ranks. His name was Arcturus and he had the touch of the Psyker. His trials were hard and arduous, but he overcame them. No test proved itself his better. The boy became a man on the killing grounds and was forever improved, risen to the status of a Space Marine. But not just a Space Marine, a Son of Dorn. An Imperial Fist.<br/><br/>For two hundred years Librarian Arcturus served with distinction. Countless minions of the foe fell to his blade, his ability to pierce the mind of the foe earned him the respect of his superiors and ire of the enemies of man. Like many of Dorn's First, he was stern. Even when he greatest tactics were unleashed with perfection or the largest of foe fell to his might, he never smiled. Serious in all things. It would not last forever. In the year 481.M37 that now<em>Epistolary</em>Arcturus and a single squad of Imperial Fists were dispatched to join in the defense of a Hive City under siege. The resources at his disposal were next to non-existent. The Imperial Guardsmen he was reinforcing exhausted and without morale but what was provided by the presence of the Imperial Fists. Further reinforcements were unlikely at best. Had Epistolary Arcturus not been on route returning from a campaign assistance and council with their brothers in the Black Templars even they would not be present. It soon became apparent the defense was not a mission they were intended to succeed. Their purpose was to tie up thousands of Heretics and Chaos Marines for as long as possible in the city. Their deaths would buy<em>other</em>Hives time to entrench themselves to buy forces on route time to arrive. Epistolary Arcturus was sent on a mission to die.<br/><br/>If his task was to kill as many foes as he could and tie up the enemy, then it was his duty. A task he would perform with honour and integrity, for his Chapter and the Emperor. Blessed upon his Throne. By day Arcturus slaughtered any foe who would make the mistake of making themselves known to him, each day countless traitors were slain. By night he was visited...by a Daemon. Not just any monstrosity of the Warp, but a Daemonette of Slaanesh. She offered him power and wicked delights, sordid sensations and a knowledge of the Universe. For three months she came to him every night and for three months he sent her fleeing. After three months with over 90% of the Hive City taken by the enemy and looted or destroyed they broke past the last lines. It was a brutal slaughter. Then the unthinkable happened. Reinforcements. The  Adepta Sororitas. They came in hard and fast, with righteous flame they purged vanguard of the enemy and put their commander to the sword. The enemy quickly and were dispatched with ease. Unfortunately Arcturus was the only survivor of the Imperial Fist squad. The Sisters offered him transport to a Chapter Vessel, he accepted. As it would turn out they owed him some gratitude. The Cathedral he has used for his remarkable last stand was their fortress chapel. The Sisters themselves had been at war and returned when their world was under siege. The Imperial Fist defense saved the oldest Cathedral on the planet from destruction or worst, defilement by the enemy. Transport was the least they could do.<br/><br/>It was during travel on the Warp that Arcturus was approached again. This time however would be different. His soul ached having watched his brothers killed in most dishonourable ways, even worst as a master of reading the mind he had<em>felt</em>their mortis cries, his Chapter had dispatched him to die. In his first moment of true weakness after two hundred years of loyal service the daemonette sprung her final attack. Arcturus became a servant of the Dark Gods that day. Corruption spread fast. The Adepta Sororitas were unprepared for the mental whispers from an Epistolary, one they held in reverence no less. All but a single of the<em>fifty</em>sisters fell to Chaos with Arcturus. The rest of the crew that were not servitors were slaughtered. It was not the Dark Gods in general that Arcturus swore to however, it was Slaanesh. The Prince of Excess. With the ship now under control of the Chaos, the route was altered towards the Eye of Terror. Arcturus's first offering to Slaanesh was the corrupted sisters, smiling for the first time in centuries he took part in debaucheries, his offering was their carnal juices and broken maidenheads. Starting with the one that wouldn't turn. She didn't survive the journey.<br/><br/>Since then the Librarian has learned the way of the Sorcerer. For three thousand years he has offered his skills as a master of the warp and a siege expert in exchange for power, favours and resources. He would not be a mere Sorcerer, he would be a true Sorcerer King. After three thousand years Arcturus finally has a world of his own within the Eye of Terror. A barren, empty waste of a planet. So he moves, to gather resources and forces from the galaxy. For he is Arcturus, Sorcerer King and Loyal Servant of the Prince of Pleasure. Who can resist what he can offer?<br/>"

Renowned for the quality of its bioforging techniques.<br/><br/>This world held to the deviant, but accepted, philosophy that rather than a weakness, Flesh was its self a form of machine, one incredibly complex and adaptable, and every bit as holy as iron mechanisms. Like many of their kind, they do not eschew the traditional cybernetic implants of the Techpreist, or other such improvements that cannot be otherwise duplicated. However, they favour improving the flesh, rather than replacing it, where their orthadox kin replace ever more of their bodies with machines, Genetors change ever more of their genetic code, unlocking the hidden potential in their own helix and grafting new organs in where a simple splice will not suffice. The end result is same; they leave ever more of their humanity behind. (Though senior Genetors can certainly still look much more 'normal' than their cybernetic kin, if they so wish it. But its equally probable that their pursuit will eventually render them more monstrous yet.)<br/><br/>The atypicality of her home aside, the culture of the place was pure Mechanicus, with everyone judged according to their merits, and naught else, those who excelled joined the priesthood, others filled menial or grunt tasks, for the rest.... well, there was always a need for more servitors, and subjects. She grew, and excelled, surpassing her peers first among the masses, then among her fellow Jr Tech Preists. She was selected for mentoring by a Magos, and did well there too. The problems came when she was finally given permission to start altering her own body, as was her right as a Genetor. It started out small, little changes to improve her metabolism, her mind, but over time she grew vain, sculpting her body into a vision of beauty, even to the point of weakening herself. The difference between her form and that of her often hulking peers grew, and in time she was called to account for her deviancy.<br/>She argued that like masterworks of the past, the machine of the body was as much a work of art as it was a practical device, and that there was nothing wrong with making herself beautiful. A short debate over her position erupted, but eventually she was condemned, and her mentor with her for failing to see the flaws in her and correct them. <br/><br/>However, he was not a easy man to put down, revealing a web of loyalty and connections far beyond what anyone would have expected, he was able to escape, Aede drawn along in his wake, also made it to the ship, and safety. Relative, anyway. Fleeing the wrath of the Mechanicus, her mentor headed into the Vortex, the once place their hunters could not follow, and with trepidation, sought refuge among the Dark Mechanicus there. The Magos served their patron in exchange for protection, and Aede was allowed to continue her tutelage, this time under the Dark Magos himself. He gave her access to forbidden lore, xenos helixes, and when he could work up the libido in his wasted frame, took her to his bed. Aede learned much, and though her former teacher cautioned patience, she did not listen, and before long, she developed a divergent ideology all her own.

I'd be curious. It seems there's 3 followers of Slaneesh here, so considering following the same path.<br/><br/>I was interested in Psyker, Heretek, and Apostate myself. I am not so much into the Chaos Space Marines, on the grounds of liking being able to slip away into a crowd, probably in a heavy robe but still, vanishing amidst the common people in the Imperium might be a way to survive till you are strong enough to stand on your own even against something of the sort of power like an Inquisitor.<br/><br/>Apostate as a manipulator of the souls seemed most appealing, but its apparently taken, so crossing that off my list.<br/><br/>Psyker would be interesting, I like the supernatural and hence a Psyker seems like a fun choice, but it feels a Psyker would be forever in the shadow of the Sorcerer, so not sure if that's the way to go.<br/><br/>Heretek then, I am not sure how to work it with Slaneeshian. Replacing flesh while seeing the bliss inherent in it ? Would probably include some perverted use of implants to some degree, but not sure.<br/><br/>Okay, there's the negative bit of whine, sorry, just had to get that out and clear to let you see my problems in deciding. Then, the appeal.<br/><br/>-Psyker: A dangerous mind-twisting, heretical<em>artist.</em>Refusing to be<em>chained</em>and<em>dulled</em>to be an Emperor's lapdog, or<em>fuelsource</em>for the Astronomican, this Psyker's powers reach out. Though ultimately wary of the possibility of being torn asunder by the force of the warp that the Psyker calls upon and attempts to use, its still an appealing, interesting concept as such.<br/><br/>Besides, if the foe comes and sees the Sorcerer, identifying a high-risk target, a sneaky Psyker might get a chance to stab them in the back and revealing he's a nasty danger too. The hidden blade seen far too late, though perhaps not as big sorcerous threat as the Sorcerer might be.<br/><br/>Likely aspirant for an immortality, wishing to transcend the limits that age would ravage upon the body and soul, wanting to become eternal, to enjoy the pleasures while cleaving a path down through the blind sheep of the Corpse God to infamy.<br/><br/><em>OR</em><br/><br/>-Heretek with a curiosity for the ultimate question. Why is some tech still forbidden? What lies out there that is so powerful that merely knowing of it costs some people their lives? And why the damnation do some people fear the technology of the alien, its to be learned from, adapted to use, and exploited to its full potential. This Heretek sets aside the 'moral' concerns, devoting his research to unlocking more and more.<br/><br/>As a faithful of Slaneesh, the Heretek would likely hold onto some measure of pleasures, likely to also help out as a support to others, while working on perfecting some creations to push his own agenda in time to the table as well.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>On a side thought, we got 3 Slaneesh men at the time. If no player is uncomfortable with a male player and female character, I might consider that option for the hell of it. I'm a bit wary at playing female characters in general, but a Psyker Witch in particular does give an interesting thought.<br/><br/>Besides, the cool concept of a female harem like the 'corrupt sisters of battle' like that which the Sorcerer character possesses there to the background makes me want to avoid a too similar concept, not wanting to just copy it out, though its a fun fantasy too.<br/><br/>Ah well. I'm still a total outsider. Waiting to hear from Hairy at this point if he minds having a newcomer along."

While the Psyker is better in general, not only do you start off with a higher psy rating, but you can start with more powers, and benefit much more from non-combat powers, while being able to use the same combat powers as a sorc, though perhaps less able to relably Push them. So you shouldnt feel a useless. But that aside, if your playing a Psyker you really should give some thought to Tzeentch, to maximize your power.<br/><br/>But if your really stuck, send me a PM, I'm pretty easy going in class terms, i can play any combination of god and archtype. The only reason I chose Apo is because I dont play social classes much and wanted to try it out. So if you had your heart set on slaanshi/apo, I might consider letting you have it.  ;D"

I look forward to an interesting game, and am still considering options. Of course, Hairy might decide he would rather have someone else along and I was a bit rude posting here directly before his approval anyhow. Just went by interest after getting a link from Muse.<br/><br/>On that thought, I play social classes when I can, but I also enjoy playing the more wizardly and 'power focused' sorts, so Psyker fits as such. I am less keen on playing a character focused solely on combat, its not my forte in general anyhow. Though I do try to make a character capable of holding their own.<br/><br/>Anyway, a Psyker in mind then, either a female psyker witch or a male psyker.<br/><br/>Not solidly set on things just yet but thinking of going Psyker's route anyhow.

As long as the player knows what they are doing.<br/><br/>For example, a lead-from-the-front former-commissar turned khornite would make a excellent General Apostate, and while he or she would certainly snip at the dilettante slaaneshi worshippers (and resist the urge to-*Blam*) , you could play it up as a good natured rivalry, resulting in fun and healthy conflict, especially if there was a slanneshi Apostate around too, they could compare conversion counts like a heretical legolas/gimli   ;D"

Her smile is bewitching, her frown a cold one, and her laughter a soft melody. Her eyes plead to believe in her when she swears she has no idea what someone is talking about. She is a serpent with a forked tongue, and a skilled liar. Lilian is a heretic who desires to live forever, and to attain eternal youth while she is within it. She craves power, and respect, but at the same time worries where her path may take her. <br/><br/>Charming and built with a thin body with soft curve in a few right places, she is a woman that would turn heads on some colonial worlds, and hopes to augment her looks with the power of Chaos in time even further, but she is also aware of the risks and limitations. These drive her forth to overcome and achieve more. She hates the very idea of being captured by the Imperium and either broken and turned into a sanctioned psyker, or more likely, sent to burn as an offering to the Corpse God of Mankind. <br/><br/>Her sweet smile and her cold blue eyes seek to hide a clever, calculating mind. She wants a lot, and she is not afraid to walk on a path of skulls and blood to get there, but she prefers use of trickery and powers of the warp to trying to achieve them by pure force. She is ready to fight if she has to, but doesn't consider particularily adept there.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">History</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Lilian grew up on a colony world in the position of a simple chymist. Preparing chemicals according to the instructions of the more learned chymist, she was learning the craft when her warp powers began to emerge. It was subtle, at first, people going along with her will. Little by little she began to learn she had more control of them than most, even after accounting for the fact she was a young, attractive woman in a colony where there were more men than women (given their governor's taste for demanding attractive women brought to his house), and that left her with some trouble as well as benefits.<br/><br/>Eventually they came for her, wanting her to join the young governor as a trophy of the week, another girl to be passed from the governor's hands to those of his men when she was done with, or so they thought. Instead, the governor was found shouting in the hallway half-naked, threatening a guard and trying to attack him. A gun went off, and the governor was dead.<br/><br/>The girl was not found, but an official realized what she might be. A witch. Hunt began for her, but the information about her passed through other channels too. When the hunters closed in on her, to drag her kicking and screaming to wait for the black ships, a Chaos Cultist came to her. Spoke to her about her power. Most importantly, offered to teach her. <br/><br/>She took the offer. Though her treatment was worse than ever before, she endured it with a grimace, knowing she was pushing ahead towards more power. Learning to control her power, and to expand it. Growing the telepathic talent she had, while learning of the dangers of the warp as well. <br/><br/>It was going to be a harsh road, but she saw the rewards it might bring. So she embraced it. Later in time, his master sought to betray him to cover for a failing of his own. Betrayed once more, but this time more cruelly than ever before, she unleashed a scream, not by her voice alone but through the warp itself. Tearing his master's mind apart with her voice, not having expected her to hold such a power yet.<br/><br/>The young witch was given a chance, instead of blame and execution. It was a chance to step forth and advance. She would take it.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Note</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">I admit straight up from the beginning, I am not very learned on the game just yet, so I may end up asking a lot of help at times to get ahead.

""This is Dr. Steven Martin, and I'm very excited to tell you that today is the day when I will test the device I detailed in video log numbers 111 and 112. As I said before, due to certain variables inherent in the equations used to create this device, I'm still not entirely certain what it will do once activated. I have however been able to determine that the device poses no discernible threat to myself, my assistant Jake, or to the greater Los Angeles area. My current theory is that the device will prove to either be a gravity distortion device, or a time dilation device. Needless to say either of these two outcomes would have far reaching effects on well....everything. So, without further wasting of time I'm going to begin activation procedures and we're gonna see just what this thing does!""<br/><br/>With that Steven turned around and began flicking switches on a small control panel standing next to a large machine which appeared to be made of a single circular metal tube connected to several large capacitors. As he continued to work the control's Steven kept talking to the camera. ""Now the machine in-front of me is merely to provide the initial surge of power needed to jump start the device I've built. The device itself is roughly the size of an old model cellular phone and can be seen currently on the table to my right."" Steven pointed to the device (http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/7223/dsc02185r.jpg) as he said this last part. Making it evident that he wanted Jake to get a shot of it. ""So far, all of my calculations point to the device being able to tap into naturally occurring fluctuations in the ambient energy levels around it in order to activate and either alter gravity...or time.  That having been said I've also worked in a small enough capacitor to allow the device to manually activate after a preset amount of time, in this case that amount is 20 minutes. Manual activation of the device at any sooner time could potentially damage it in ways that I cannot predict at this time... It should be activating any second now""<br/><br/>A few seconds later the devise on the table sprang to life, it's controls and display lit up, and it activated. Creating a vortex in front of Steven and Jake. This would have been the fist tentative steps in an entirely undocumented branch of science that had only once before ever been tapped into on their earth. Sadly, fate had other plans. A faulty part within one of the capacitors caused the power levels flowing to the generator to become unstable. The increase in power flow caused two very adverse and unpredicted side effects. The first was that not one, but several vortexes now appeared, and the second was that these vortexes possessed their own small gravity wells, causing them to forcibly pull objects around them inside of them with a force that could not be resisted.<br/><br/>The first person to experience this was Steven, given how close he was to original vortex. He had less than few seconds to realize what was happening, just enough time to utter ""oh shit!"" before he was pulled into the portal with the timer being sucked in right behind him<br/><br/>"

He scrambled grasping at things to keep him from getting sucked into the virtual black hole.

As she walked a small smile lifted the edges of her lips, this was one assignment she was actually looking forward to, peeking her natural curiosity, and love of the entire sci-fi, unknown mysteries of the universe idea.<br/><br/>Simone had always been quite intelligent, while at the same time extremely attractive with her chocolate brown hair, chestnut colored eyes, set against her delicate pale skin. She was of medium height and kept fit working out a couple days a week when she wasn't studying or out partying with friends. As she reached the door, her hand lifted tapping a couple times, ""Dr.?"" she called out before pushing it open and stepping threw the door. To say there was a mind altering moment of realization would have been an outstanding concept, but there was no time for thought, shock, or fear really, only that she was nearly instantly pulled by an extreme force sucking her in, like water spinning down a drain, her back pack tugging at her arms as it shifted and slide off her shoulders. And with that she gone, as if she had never even been there, no trace and no warning."

Her leather boots clicked softly against the granite floors of the older half of the campus. She carried with her her large satchel filled to the brim with student's blue books. Being the Professor's assistant, she was often in charge of grading smaller papers like the weekly blue books each student was required to fill. A cheerful smile was featured on her lips as she further crossed the campus. Adjusting her bag she rounded another corner before stopping to look at her digital watch. She had time yet before the next class, she had to drop off the students papers in her car. She had a system in place, the best she could for not having an office.<br/><br/>As she exited the building to the parking lot, she eyed up her car. It was an older model, a simple Ford Taurus, but the vehicle had never given her any problems. She was always grateful for this. Reaching her car within moments she pulled her keys from her pocket and unlocked the trunk. Inside was an assortment of boxes, labeled with class times.<br/><br/>Cecilia opened her satchel and placed the blue books in the 8:30-10:00 am box, which was currently empty. After she finished she looked at her watch on her left wrist again, checking the time. She was so used to looking at her watch that she never even thought about it when she did it. Time management was something that Cecilia had to have down within her first few years of schooling, if she hadn't, it would have ended up messy for her by now. She slammed the trunk door closed and readjusted her satchel. All that was left in it now was her planner, a few feminine items, her phone, car keys, her set of contacts, a small bottle of contact solution, her glasses case, her mp3 player and small set of head phones,  and an old fob watch that was gifted to her by her grandfather. Her satchel had many pockets that she was grateful of, some hidden within and hard to find, and others placed conveniently on the outside of the bag. In one of those hard to find pockets was her Grandfather's fob watch.<br/><br/>Adjusting her plaid shirt she walked back into the campus building and made her way through the maze of hallways. Colleges were never set up in a friendly way, and were always difficult to navigate for the freshman and sophomores, but after a few years of traversing the hallways, Cecilia found it second nature now. Her destination was closer now, having taken a while to cross campus from where her car was park. As she made her way into the basement, towards Dr. Steven's Lab. One of his part time assistants was in her class, and in danger of failing. She was concerned enough to bring it up to the doctor, the student's academics had been in a hole for a little while. If the student didn't pull themselves from the hole, they were in danger of losing the position with the Doctor.<br/><br/>Cecilia thought it was best, that the motivation to succeed come from Doctor Stevens. As she rounded the corner in the basement, the pressure in the air changed, and there was a clattering of noise coming from further down the hallway and around the next corner. Slowing her pace, Cecilia took her time to coming around the corner. She noticed papers fluttering on boards on the walls, and that there were flickering lights coming from around the corner. Rounding the corner, Cecilia's eyes were met with blueish light and she could feel her balance getting strange. Her feet slid slowly across the floor and she could feel some pulling. But still, her mind urged her to go forwards, like reading the next page in a great novel, she had to go further.<br/><br/>Pushing herself flat against the wall, gripping on to whatever was there, she inched closer to the Doctor's door. 'What has that crazy man done now?' she thought as she reached the door frame. Needing to grip onto it to prevent from falling over she found herself looking into the room. Her hair flying, she found it harder and harder to hang on. Her feet slowly slid out from under her as she stared at the mind numbing awesome that laid before her. It was like a science fiction novel, a classic Wells or a new age terror. Her mind was muddled as she found her feet had suddenly flown out from under her, with a scream she latched onto the door frame with every inch of strength she had. But it wasn't enough, as on of her hands let go and her satchel went flying into the portal like void. Her eyes narrowed, her grandfathers watch was in there, and she wasn't going to let it get away from her no matter what. Within milliseconds of her satchel flying away, Cecilia let go of the door frame and screamed at the uncertain. What was going to happen to her?"

I'd rather offer too more and have folks walk past some issues than to offer too little and see people sigh boredly that they're railroaded since there's no other way to get anything to happen.<br/><br/>Anyhow, been enjoying the posting a fair bit, and Callie, have to say I enjoy gaming with you so that's all the more reason to not just strike you like a lightning from the clear sky.<br/><br/>I'll reserve that for anyone who tries to screw everyone else over by rules-lawyering at the cost of everyone else's fun, and I dont think we got anyone like that in the group playing right now.

Roleplaying games are an opportunity to take risks, worst that can happen is you lose your character but in this case your character is a good step above the norm, way above the norm, but in that respect there's also a share of risks. Its not 4-color comics, the world has a lot of things going on, and Ada just happened to walk in on this one this time."

Anyhow, let me know if you got questions or worries in mind.<br/><br/>One thing, @TheVillain, I definitely<strong>dislike</strong>the idea of anyone knowing someone else's powers entirely. A mimic might have a fairly good idea, but beyond that I see it as information not available. Abilities clearly historically documented would be the most visible ones, such as people knowing the healer could heal all kinds of people, but 99% of the world doesn't know if her power works on the recently dead or not. Dominic sugar learned it does not, through government agencies, that kept an eye on her. That information would not be on open market even centuries later.<br/><br/>That said, it seems that you and Callie are bouncing it back and forth nicely, but I'd request being more careful about in the future. Some records of the past have been lost due to the half-hour war, and public information on metahumans has been the information that has breached the media treshold.<br/><br/>Ehh, I'd rather not get annoying about those things though. We'll see how things go, and as long as other players go along with it, I'm fine with that. Anyhow a minor thing that I felt I ought to comment briefly on just in case."

Also means its less likely someone comes in through the window there. There's a bookshelf before the window to the front of the building, but without a back panel, so it acts as a simple self that can be 'looked through' past the items for the window itself, but its curtained, hence the shots coming through.<br/><br/>I unfortunately dont have a paper at hand to try and show my view of what the place is like.

Key points though, just to make this clear...<br/><br/>Nobody's future is set in stone. More like a river, it flows the path of least resistance in time-line, so if you go around making plans of some sort around someone's character make sure they're ok with it.<br/><br/>Time-travel and changing timeline is possible, but a major headache. Hence why people aren't actively jumping back and forth in time. Your character's origin is from a now -extinct- future, but<em>future is still uncertain.</em><br/><br/>There are some troublemakers in current time-line, yes, but your character does not have a *field guide* on what all went wrong and how. If anything, he'll be able to pull out some key facts of cause-and-effect, certainly, but try not to write future up in a way you see best without checking to make sure.<br/><br/>Though on that note, right now, there's 2 possible ways it might swing, and lot of middle ground.<br/><br/>One is acceptance of metahumanity, and integration that will take time but likely also change the world at least on some level for the better.<br/><br/>Another is authoritan future where metahumanity is a minority and not exactly one that is faring too well.

He hardly ever cried, but he also never really made too much noise. Anyone who came to see him would swear that he would stare at them, and they would feel his young mind pierce their souls, and no one felt comfortable around him. This persisted as he grew older, though a strange, knowing smile always was upon his face. The only time he would be ""normal"" around others would be when he was playing Duel Monsters, but even then, that didn't last long when he started researching the origins, back to the ancient Egyptian days, when it was said that the monsters were real.<br/><br/>It was then that he knew his calling; he was supposed to make his own monsters. How did he know? The demon inside him told him so. After he figured this out, when he dueled people alone, they started showing up at the hospital with blank eyes, low pulses, and low brain patterns. It was as if they were in a comatose state. Malchovitch didn't care, though, and when questioned one day, he let the police know that he had nothing to do with it; they needed to ask the Scarlet Master, but he wasn't around. Besides...he succeeded in his goal.<br/><br/>However, he knew that his current success was not enough; if he were to achieve the ultimate prize, he'd need more people. The best place he knew was the Academy...it would be his new hunting grounds.<br/><br/>Deck: The Scarlet Devil Mansion (http://forum.duelingnetwork.com/index.php?/topic/29700-scarlet-devil-mansion/).<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">1.

He is a holding a deep appericiation for the opposite sex and whilst he often will be detered because he cannot speak it doesn't stop him from finding the loveliest cards in duel monsters for collecting them. Hes actually quite keen on them because he has an artistic eye as well as a secondary hobby and will usually hide those perversions through that hobby naturally. It doesnt help that hes already handicapped as is.<br/><br/>Truth be told he is trying out for the Academy because of the opportunity for adventure which is what his spirits love most about duel monsters. You can meet so many intriging people and witness amazing things. Half are from word of mouth, most are from reports and television. But regardless he want's to experience this magic first hand. He is a deep lover of magic and honestly believes in it completely because originally Madison was born mute and had to struggle with this handicap for most of his life.

While her mother was off zipping around and sueing people for legal shenanigans, Jessie enjoyed a relatively laid-back life at home and school. Early on she picked up an interest in Duel Monsters, and happily convinced her friends to start playing it with her. Sadly, she wasn't particularly amazing when it came to all of the strategy and tactics . . but she still got admitted to the West Duel Academy.<br/><br/>She spent roughly a year there polishing her skills and getting meager grades, before her mother showed up one day with a japanese businessman on her arm. Apparently they'd met on one of her trips and promptly eloped, and now she was accepting a job at the Kaiba Corporation's legal department so she could be close to her new husband, a low level management type for a Kaiba Corp factory. Because of this Jessie got herself a transfer over to the island Duel Academy . . which put her smack-dab in the middle of the Slyfer Red dorms, thanks to that unfortunate rule about transfer students having to start out as Reds.

Nikolai knew his time was coming to an end since he had a chronic heart disease, so in order to slow it down and teach his son how to wield a deck and a duel disk properly, they moved to cabin in cold Siberia. A harsh environment and a rigorous training schedule made Mikhail at age eight already one of the worlds top-class duelists. Mikhail entered a tournament at age 10 and won without struggle. Two years later, Nikolai died and Mikhail was left alone in an orphanage. Mikhail has a strong affinity towards wanting to continue on the Dostoevsky legacy of ultimate-top class dueling. Not much else is known about Mikhail since most of his developmental years he had spent in Siberia or in a secluded place in Russia. As soon as he hit 17, he left the orphanage to attend the Duel Academy and become the top of the top.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Siberian Fury</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">1.

He that through hard work he is able to achieve anything. He is mild mannered and indifferent to the drama of everyday life. He is always available to help other students with learning concepts and homework. He tries to work hard and stick to himself except during approved school competitions or class or the rare occasion he becomes involved in a ""schoolyard"" fight.  In those situations all bets are off. He is going to prove that someone with no prior knowledge of the wizarding world can become a true force to be feared.  Xavril is taking all his classes with the express purpose of being a Wizard Bounty Hunter of sorts, and Auror.  Be it beast, magical conjuration, mechanical creation, or dark wizard; Xavril is training to fight them wherever he finds them.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Xavril was born in America to two loving parents. His father was a martial artist who traveled the world performing and teaching. His mother was a witch. However his mother never told any of the family she was a witch.<br/><br/>As such Xavril grew up traveling with his parents, being homeschooled by his mother and trained in martial arts by his father. As such there was very little chance for magical aptitude to shine, maybe that was his mother’s intention, but never the less Xavril learned the value of hard work and discipline towards his goals.<br/><br/>One day they were coming home from an exhibition when their plane crashed high in the mountains.  Unbeknownst to most there was a Death Eater stronghold near by and they claimed responsibility for shooting the plan down.  The crash killed almost everyone aboard including Xavril's father. Of those that managed too live some died from the elements or pre existing injury, others were picked off by the local pack of wolves. Xavril managed to survive with a broken leg and his mother in the seat next to him wasn't so lucky. She had survived the crash but needed nigh immediate surgery for a pierced lung, that she was never going to receive. Clawing at her bag she finds her nearly broken wand and manages to mend Xavril's leg. Notably shaken he freaks out telling her to fix herself, to get them out of there but she can't her wand is broken and even if it wasn't she's nearly out of magic, having not practiced and being very near death. She makes one last effort and pulls a pen knife from her purse. She takes these two items and with the help of whatever magic she has left she blends the wand into the knife making a weapon (http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/5206/dexscimitarqo2.jpg) for her son to use. And with that last effort she dies in the crashed plane.<br/><br/>Xavril stays in the plane just long enough for his grief to abate because he knows the wolves will be drawn to the crash site. He makes his way into the trees and tries to find shelter. Along the way he has to fight through a pack of angry wolves. They surround him attacking from all sides scaring much of the left side of his face, neck and upper torso. But Xavril gives as good as he gets winding several with his new sword and finally killing one. The pack seeing the kill back off to keep him surrounded but let him move through the forest. Eventually Xavril finds a cave and hides inside.<br/><br/>For three days Xavril sits eating pieces of the wolf he killed and drinking melted snow but he knows it can't last. One night sitting by the fire forcing himself to stay awake he has what he believes is a hallucination and talks to his sword which answers in his mother’s voice. The sword tells him to think like a wolf. Xavril laughed and decided why not. So he thought about a wolf in his position and He dreams himself as a wolf running off with the pack, hunting, and running towards the light of a small village. Xavril awakes in the morning startled to find he is a real wolf; fur, teeth, paws, four legs, tail, real wolf. He runs into town and to his surprise he runs headlong into his uncle, his mothers brother. Laughing at the antics of the dog Xavril's uncle turned suddenly seriously somber upon seeing the collar around its neck; a simple leather binding he had made for Xavril a few years past.  Looking into Xavril's eyes he asks one question: Xavril? Xavril nods his furry head slowly. Laughing Xavril's uncle clapped his hands explaining how he had come to look for the plane since everyone had feared the worst, not telling him about the Death Eaters, though he did in later years, and Xavril wasn't found at the crash site with his parents. Xavril's uncle led him through the town of hogsmead up through the gates of Hogwarts into the great hall where breakfast was just getting underway. Walking up to the headmaster he said ""I know this is unusual headmaster but since it’s the first week of school might I enroll one more student?""  Chuckling the headmaster replies ""I suppose you might but I don't see any students with you.""  Chucking the uncle asks the transfiguration master to disenchant the wolf behind him. Confused but obliging he casts the spell and when the clouds of fur stopped falling the whole room gasped to see Xavril standing where the wolf had been, sword and all sheathed across his back. The headmaster was astonished that an untrained student had managed to transfigure themselves by accident. As such he sent Xavril and his uncle to go buy his things and return him by dinner and they would sort and enroll Xavril the very next day.<br/><br/><strong>Familiar:</strong>no familiar as such.

He does not beat around the bush when it comes to things, and his usually aggressive, or at least curt, mannerisms have done little to earn him friends.<br/><br/>He supposedly has a strict personal code of conduct that he adheres to at all times, but, he has never taken the time to inform anyone just what this code is (if it even exists at all).<br/><br/>History: originally born in Germany, he spent several years at Durmstrang. However, his parents had to move away from the country due to political reasons (in the Wizarding world), and they moved to Wales. Because he had not yet graduated Durmstrang, he was able to apply to and be accepted into Hogwarts.<br/><br/>The wand he uses has been in his family for quite some generations, and is considered something of an heirloom. It is a very powerful device, but the Raubriter family has always produced exceptionally strong-willed individuals that are capable of using it properly.<br/><br/>Because Durmstrang actively teaches the Dark Arts, and because he had been attending it until this very school year, it should be noted that Gustav is skilled in their use. However, he has met with the current head master/mistress of Hogwarts, and has shown that he is well aware that such magic is forbidden. He has stated, quite definitively, his willingness to abide by all rules and regulations of the school, and of the new nation he finds himself in.<br/><br/>He has a fur-lined cloak and blood red robe from his old school.<br/></div></div></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Alphonse Lanselot</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">-Pure blood, one generation.<br/>Age: 17 (Birthday: December 2nd)<br/>Year: 4th<br/>House: Hufflepuff<br/>Classes Taken: Astronomy, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures.<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Quoted stats from earlier</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Agility 3<br/>Animal Handling 4 Ride 1B, Train 1B<br/>Athletics 3<br/>Awareness  3<br/>Cunning  2<br/>Deception 2<br/>Endurance 4 Resilience 1B<br/>Fighting  2<br/>Knowledge  3<br/>Magical Expertise 3<br/>Magical Projection 3<br/>Magical Studies 3<br/>Marksmanship 2<br/>Persuasion 2 Charm 1B<br/>Reflexes 3 Quickness 1B<br/>Status 2<br/>Stealth 2<br/>Will 3 Dedication 1B<br/><br/>Qualities: Night Eyes, Animal Cohort<br/>Drawbacks: None<br/><br/>Intrigue Defense: 4<br/>Composure: 9<br/>Combat Defense: 6<br/>Health: 12<br/>Passive Resistance: 16/12<br/>Damage: 2/1/4<br/>Movement: 4 yards<br/>Sprint: 16 yards<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Fluffy bits!</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Name: Alphonse ""Al"" Lanselot<br/>Age: 17<br/>Sexuality: heterosexual male<br/><br/>Height: 5'8<br/>Weight: 220 lbs<br/>Build: Wiry<br/>Eyes: Brown<br/>Hair: Brown<br/><br/>Wand: Nine inch long standard chestnut wand, core material is griffin feathers from Belda and Obda. This wand is particularly well suited for Alphonse, because of the personal connection he has with the animals providing the core material. It makes for a good defensive wand, but can be difficult to properly wield.<br/><br/>Personality: A wild child with a Fae demeanor, Alphonse` loves animals and the wilderness, where he is most at home. He has a tendency to speak his mind, and is very innocent, but not naive. He is slow to trust others, but when he comes to like a person, he is a fierce guardian of them, and not to be trifled with. <br/><br/>History: His parents have, for the longest of times, worked at a small ranch where they breed Griffins, and where they also teach wizards and witches how to handle them and ride them.  They also breed Krups, Kneazles, and many others, in addition to running a magical veterinarian service.<br/><br/>It is no shock, then, to see that Alphonse has a gift when it comes to animals. He understands them on an intuitive level, and much time spent amongst the animal kingdom has resulted in having a wild streak, and being a bit wary of his fellow man.<br/><br/>He spent much time as a child being taken care of by Belda and Obda (female and male, respectively), griffins that had been at the ranch for a long time, and which were personally owned by his parents. Belda loved to nurture him and take him for flights, even as a young child, and the mother griffin considers him one of her own.<br/><br/>He had a special request of Ollivander for when it came time to make his wand. He brought with him feathers from Belda and Obda, and wished for a wand to be specially made. His parents were supportive of this, and although it was highly unorthodox, the wandmaker acquiesced, as he could tell the significant bonds the child had with these animals, not to mention their own magical nature, would make for a well-suited wand. <br/><br/>He is known as something of a trouble maker around the school. He has never gotten into serious trouble, but does spend a lot of time in detention, because of his rambunctious nature. <br/><br/>When he grows up, he wants to work with dragons. <br/><br/>Familiar: A half-lynx half-kneazle named Memento Mori, typically referred to as Mori (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Lynx_lynx_poing.jpg/220px-Lynx_lynx_poing.jpg). A very large and predatory feline that is very protective of its master. Mori listens well to verbal commands from Al, though, and has never caused problems (though it's certainly frightened a few people over the years). <br/><br/>Mori has been allowed into the school as Alphonse's familiar on several factors: Technicality (being that even if it is a large cat, it is still a feline), the fact that his parents are well respected members of the magical community and carefully bred Mori themselves, and the fact that Alphonse has been able to demonstrate to the school staff that he is capable of handling the animal without difficulty. <br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Memento Mori The Familiar's Stats</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Agility 4<br/>Athletics 3 Climb 3B, Jump 2B<br/>Awareness 3 Notice 2B, Empathy 1B<br/>Cunning 2<br/>Endurance 2<br/>Fighting 3<br/>Reflexes 4<br/>Stealth 4 Sneak 1B<br/><br/>1 DP<br/><br/>Dmg if in combat alone: 2<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Memento Mori, moments before devouring a large hare</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://www.innovaclub.net/SMF-Board/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=11611.0;attach=15517;image)<br/></div></div></div></div></div></div>"

Lean, slender constitution, a small chest, very long legs.  <br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Charlize is likely to never be found standing alone. Always a small group around her, always in the middle of a crowd, among friends – which never seem to lack in number – or chatting casually with her teachers. Basically everyone seems to like her and she seems to love everyone. While not probably the most popular student at Hogwarts, Charlize is definitely amongst the privileged. Talkative, spontaneous, the life of the party, always in a good disposition. Not much of an athlete and also less fond of studying, she compensates through humor, charm and oratorical speech. One of her best qualities is the gift of storytelling and sometimes she tends to relate events in a better light than it actually happened.  <br/><strong>Background: </strong>There isn’t much to tell about her family, except that she has two loving parents and no siblings. Her closest friend is actually her cousin, a non-magic who now works at Gringotts.  <br/><strong>Interesting fact:</strong> Charlize is very fond of cute, small pets, but strangely frightened by anything not fitting into this category. Large animals and even medium sized ones are to be avoided at all times, according to her mindset. <br/><strong>WAND:</strong> Ash Wood, Length 15 1/4 inches, Veela hair core<br/><strong>Pet:</strong>none<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">CHARLIZE IN NUMBERS</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Agility: 2<br/>Animal handling: 2<br/>Athletics: 2<br/>Awareness: 3  - Empathy: Determine true intentions 1<br/>Cunning: 3      - Memory: Recall useful information when the time is needed 1<br/>Deception: 3    - Disguise:  Concealing ones identity visually 1<br/>Endurance: 3   - Fortitude:  A chance to resist spells 1<br/>Fighting: 2<br/>Knowledge: 2<br/>Magical Expertise: 3<br/>Magical Projection: 4<br/>Magical Studies: 3  - Defense Against the Dark Arts 1<br/>Marksmanship: 2<br/>Persuasion: 4           - Charm 1, Convince 1<br/>Reflexes: 3<br/>Status: 3     - Reputation: you are able to make yourself seem and appear more important then your actual position warrants 1<br/>Stealth: 2<br/>Will: 4 <br/><br/><strong>Qualities </strong><br/>Charismatic:  Choose a Persuasion Specialty, gain +2 bonus to all tests with that Specialty.

It's still a matter of time from her point of view until they become friends.<br/><br/>Charlize and Gilda: the 6th year student is somewhat of an example for Charlize, albeit her intimidating nature - only because she's from the Slytherin House. <br/><br/>Charlize and Xavril: although the ""bad boy"" look might hold some kind of appeal, Charlize tends to avoid meeting Xavril in any way she can. After hearing about his wolf form she decided to stay away from the Slytherin group of 6th year students.<br/><br/>Charlize and Alphonse: from her point of view, Alphonse is one of the most interesting students at Hogwarts and would surely like to befriend him even more than they are at the moment, albeit her irrational fear of wild creatures, including Al's familiar Mori.<br/><br/>Charlize and Gustav: the 6th year Slytherin is anything but familiar to Charlize. She views him as a good scholar, but lacking the social skills she thinks are ought to be mandatory.<br/><br/>Charlize and Daria: although the girl seems to be a real troublemaker, Charlize really likes that part of her and also everything else from Daria's personality. They could become really good friends if they disregard their houses' rivalry.<br/><br/>Charlize and Danner: probably about to become friends, she likes his personality and would probably ask him for help in dealing with animals.  </div></div></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Group of friends for Charlize (NPC)</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> <br/><br/><strong>Sarah Howls– 6th year Gryffindor </strong>, close friend to both Charlize and Richard Summerby (notable NPC).  Her strong points in matters of classes would be Astronomy (she has a tendency to base every argument on the position of the stars) and Ancient Runes.  Personality-wise, Sarah is a shy person, the kind which speaks only when asked. Probably that’s why she hangs around Charlize because with her there is never a quiet moment.<br/><br/><strong>Charlie Mullins– 4th year Ravenclaw.</strong>  They sit next to eachother in Transfigurations and Charms classes. Charlie is the first one to tell jokes during breaks and he certainly tries his best to amuse everyone from the group. A bit of a party animal as well, he likes Charlize more than he shows. <br/><br/><strong>Serena Altwood – 4th year Hufflepuff </strong>, the oldest member of the gang, basically one of the co-founders (along with Charlize) Serious, study-driven, has the habit of speaking her mind without any real concern for what others think of it. You cross her, you get the cold shoulder.  Very good at offering advice from an objective point of view – you don’t come to her for a shoulder to cry on, you come to her if you want a solution to your problem.<br/><br/><strong>Richard Blackthorne – 6th year Hufflepuff </strong>. He comes from a very long line of purebloods and is probably the only one which Charlize likes as a Prefect. Richard is a haughty type of guy, although he’s quite balanced emotionally. Rarely talks to others about his private life and is famed for leaving a trail of brokenhearts behind him. Views Charlize as an equal due to her social skills and probably the only girl suitable to be his friend. There is no romance involved in their relationship, they respect eachother as competitors for social domination. <br/><br/><strong>Richard Summerby (notable NPC) - (Gryffindor)-6th year </strong> – the friend of a friend (Sarah Howls), Richard is the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and Charlize is (or thinks that she is) iremediably in love with him. </div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Basil Brancoveanu</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Name:</strong> Basil Brancoveanu<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong> Romanian<br/><strong>Muggleborn</strong> <br/><strong>Age:</strong> 19<br/><strong>Year:</strong> 6th<br/><strong>Birthday: 14th October (Libra)<br/><strong>Classes:</strong> Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, Astronomy<br/><strong>O.W.L.

Broad shoulders, fairly tall, stands out in a crowd. His muscles are not very toned, but well defined, shows signs of a beer belly. Has a strange habit to always stand, almost never sits. Hair colour: brown, has a buzz cut. Eye colour: green. <br/><strong>Skin tone:</strong> fair.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong> not a very talkative person, likes to keep to himself. He suffers from the “new guy complex”, feeling like he doesn’t fit anywhere except when he’s on the soccer field or in training. Usually he shows a very disciplined, army-type behaviour and acts extremely friendly only when huge amounts of alcohol are involved. He really likes to drink and is rather enjoying it than being addicted. <br/><strong>Background: </strong>born and raised in the Romanian fields, Basil is the eldest child of five and the son of a sheperd. He discovered his magical talents at the age of nine, when a wolf attacked his father’s herd. His grandmother saw young Basil throwing a stick in the air which caught fire instantly and she knew he had <em>the blessing</em>. She was the village exorcist and main healer. Her passion and knowledge of healing herbs and potions was passed on to Basil. <br/><strong>Interesting fact:</strong> Basil is actually very religious, although he’s seen more as an occultist in the school than a good athlete. Probably due to his romanian heritage, where curses and demonical possesions seem to fill the folklore. <br/><strong>WAND:</strong> Snakewood, Ebony, Maple ,16 1/4 inches, Dragon heartstring, Warped<br/><strong>Familiar:</strong> a stray, mangy tomcat called “Jerry”<br/><strong>Quidditch position:</strong> Beater <br/><br/></strong><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> BASIL IN NUMBERS</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Agility: 3                  *Acrobatics: Perform flips, tumbles, balance, somersaults 1<br/>Animal handling: 2 <br/>Athletics: 4              *Strength: Aids in tests where physical strength is required 1<br/>                              *Throw: Used for objects not designed to be thrown 1<br/>Awareness:2  <br/>Cunning: 2     <br/>Deception: 2  <br/>Endurance: 3         *Stamina: Better chance to recover from injuries and wounds 1<br/>Fighting: 4             *Unarmed 1<br/>Knowledge: 2<br/>Magical Expertise: 2<br/>Magical Projection: 3<br/>Magical Studies: 3    *Potions 1<br/>Marksmanship: 2<br/>Persuasion: 2           <br/>Reflexes: 4<br/>Status: 2     <br/>Stealth: 2<br/>Will: 3<br/><br/><br/><strong>Qualities </strong><br/>Talented*: Choose an Ability, gain +1 for all tests with that Ability (Fighting)<br/>Lucky: Once per in game week OR once per chapter, whichever comes first, reroll one test, take the best result.<br/><br/><strong>Disadvantages</strong><br/>Alcoholic: When faced with a troubling situation, must make a Formidable (12) Will test, or turn to alcohol (or drugs) to calm your nerves.  While intoxicated, you have a -2 penalty to all tests.  If you are in a place where alcohol is readily available, you become roaring drunk and have a -2D penalty.  Penalties remain until you get a good night's sleep.  Each hour of sleep, make a Challenging (9) Endurance test.  Success reduces the penalty by 1 (3 reductions equal 1D).  If no alcohol is available within the hour of failing the test, you go into withdrawal and suffer a -1D penalty.  You also must make a Hard (15) Will test to resist any readily available alcoholic drink.  This drawback may be substituted for another addictive drug.<br/><br/><strong>Derived Stats</strong><br/>Intrigue Defense =  4<br/>Composure = 9<br/>Combat Defense =  7<br/>Health = 9<br/>Passive resistance = 12/12<br/>Damage = 3 (armed)/ 2 (unarmed)<br/>Movement=  4<br/>Sprint = 16 </div></div> <br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Basil with others</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> <br/>Basil - 6th year, Hufflepuff, Beater<br/><br/>Basil and Danner: doesn't really know the guy, he just knows that he's very good with magical creatures and sometimes gets to mix him up with Alphonse....this will probably change.<br/><br/>Basil and Daria: he really tries to get along with everyone, with Daria he just has a little more trouble understanding that mischievious part of her. They might understand each other a lot better if the context allows it or brings them together as allies.<br/><br/>Basil and Gustav - different Houses, same year, they share a few classes and a few similar personality traits (they are both outsiders). Perhaps they'll get to discuss cultural differences and various other topics. Basil is more the physical type, Gustav is on the ""brainy"" side.<br/><br/>Basil and Alphonse: more details after they get to know eachother better, it's still not clear to him what's the deal with Al.<br/><br/>Basil and Xavril: clearly on opposing teams - Basil respects order and discipline while Xavril is too wild for his moral scale. Given his history with wolves back when he was a kid, this is just another reason for Basil to not really like the guy.<br/><br/>Basil and Gilda: he's not really sure what to make of her. On one side she's very attractive and seems friendly enough, on the other she's from Slytherin and he has no idea how to act around her. Kinda sees her as a ""power-girl"".<br/><br/>Basil and Vexa: a strong feeling of infatuation over the ethereal beauty, he would really love to have the guts to talk with her more often. Unconsciounsly Basil seeks every chance to be around her. He thinks her beauty resembles the Iele's appearance. <br/><br/>Charlize and Basil: from their first meeting somewhere in Hogsmeade, Charlize believes it's her duty to get Basil some friends..or at least more into the ""meainstream"". So far she only managed to bring him closer to her group, with which he occasionally spends some time when not on the field practising, and also to annoy the hell out of him quite often, forcing Basil to slightly avoid her whenever he can. He is really fond of her however, regarding Charlize as the annoying little sister he never had. </div></div></div></div><br/><br/>"

Both of her ears are pierced. Jamie secretly has a unibrow, but she keeps them waxed to perfection.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/>Jamie knows her face is one of greatest assets and plans to use it to her benefit before it slips away with old age. Due to this, she goes through great lengths to stay in shape along with following many other shortcuts for beauty. She loves looking her best in different types of clothing. Jamie would like to think that her adaptability can let her blend in any crowd without much difficulty. She truly does believe in the saying that life is a stage and everyone plays a specific role inside of it. Yet she knows that people will either love or hate her since she refuses to drastically change herself to appease someone.<br/><br/>If Jamie can’t see some type of benefit in a friendship or relationship, she won’t see a reason to waste her time in a person’s presence. In her point of view, the only way to succeed in the world is to make friends of importance or use imbeciles to claw her way towards a comfortable lifestyle. Upon noticing something worth her time, Jamie is almost addicted to succeeding. It doesn’t matter how long it might take for her to obtain her target since she’s prone to not giving up on her desires. An example of her motivation is that she never fails to forget her dream of creating a fashion line. She makes it a requirement to draw a design in her tablet.<br/><br/>Jamie understands people without goals in life are likely to fail and become one of those unimportant and forgotten faces in the masses. Right now, one of her main goals is to become a great designer for wizards and witches since she would love to create her own magical fashion shows for the greater public. Plus, there are some magical folk who really need a lesson in what’s hot and what’s not. It often takes a little bit of pushing people over to get to the top of success. Jamie understands this completely, and fully intends on reaching her goals by any means necessary.<br/><br/><strong>History: </strong><br/>Jamie grew in up in a single parent household after her sperm donor left before she could even imprint his face into her memory. Her mother, Delia, long burned the physical memory of him from their apartment so Jamie grew up without much of a stable male influence in her life. Her mother, a self-indulgent addict, worked different odd jobs to get just enough money for rent, food, funds to fuel her drug addiction. It isn’t uncommon for some type of need to be eliminated such as electricity, gas, or even hot water since her mother would forget to pay the bill. Jamie was raised around the creepiest of the low since sometimes her mother’s odd jobs included selling toys given to Jamie by her grandmother.<br/><br/>The only babysitter Jamie ever had growing up was the women walking down the runway on television, and she knew from a young age that their glamorous lifestyle looked much better than her own. Jamie found out from a young age that her face could get her different type of stuff from her peers. Candy along with people to do her homework. Just flashing a smile along with giving them her award-winning stare usually produced some type of positive effect for her. When her mother noticed her daughter’s gift, she tried to exploit it for her own benefit rather than steer her daughter away from her own path. For a while, Jamie manipulated money from her male admirers with sweet words to give to her mother. It was only one night when her mother pushed her too far, that she discovered that she wasn’t exactly normal. Thus began her life as a witch.

Vexa is my prime character, even though she's younger than Gilda.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Vexa R. Gaudia</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> <div class=""floatleft"">(http://i48.tinypic.com/ifoktg.jpg)</div><strong>Blood Status</strong>: pure blood (11 generations on her fathers side)<br/><strong>Sexuality</strong>: straight<br/><strong>Age</strong>:17 (Date of Birth: November 16th)<br/><strong>Year</strong>: 4th year<br/><strong>House</strong>: <strong>Hufflepuff!</strong><br/><strong>Classes</strong>: -Ancient Ruins - Arithmancy - Care of Magical Creatures - Divination- Muggle studies - Transfiguration (E) - Herbology (E)<br/><strong>OWLs Earned</strong>: none, fourth year student<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Vexa is an opportunist at heart, and a thinker when it comes to every day life. She does look at every conversation like a challenge, and all of her fellow students are rivals. This nature comes out of her more often than anything else, and she treats most people rather poorly, including her instructors. However, she does respect people, and she is willing to help them if she receives something in return. Respect doesn't always equate to friendship, Vexa is cold, and doesn't truly like to spend time with other people. She is willing to make friends, but its hard to say if she's able to. Most people would likely have a difficult time trusting her, and on good merit. But, she is capable of being a good person. It just goes heavily unadvertised.<br/><strong><br/>Description</strong>: She looks like a haunted porcelain doll. Vexa dresses in expensive clothing. She comes from a wealthy, well-to-do family, but she can wear these clothes without a pompous look on her face. She has long curling black hair and pale white skin that often contrasts to her dark clothing. Not proud of her Hufflepuff house, she wears black and white more often then yellow, but she wears the proper uniform. Long and thin, tall, and almost gangly, Vexa looks unhealthy most days, she doesn't like to sleep, and she wears heavy make-up around her eyes anyway. It's mostly genetic though, her self image is high, and she considers herself to be one of the sexier women at the school.<br/><br/><strong>History</strong> : Vexa's father had a family history of witchcraft that dated deep into the old days. Her mother's side of the family was more modern, but she was born a pure blood, and she's deathly proud of it. Their family hadn't been active at hogwarts for a number of hidden generations, which allowed their dark wizardy to go mostly overlooked by the death eaters. The Gaudia name, and all those protected by it (less than one hundred at any given time) were seen as part of the right team anyway. So, Vexa comes from a dark history, one accepted by Voldermort's sigil, and respected. Now, Vexa and her older sister, Gilda, are studying with dire intensity. (friends in high places - Gilda). For years, both of her parents' families were hidden in the muggle world. So, she is only slightly removed from the every day life of people unaccustomed to the world of wizardry. She feels like this gives her an advantage over 'hogwarts kids', especially 'hogwarts mud-bloods'. These are both families that have attended the school for a long time and no longer see the privilege that they have as long expected students, and fantastic childhoods. Vexa didn't always know that she would be at hogwarts, so she treats every day like the last day of her life.<br/><br/><strong>Wand</strong>: Warped: Your wand has knots in it that interfere with casting, and builds up magical energy.  -1 to all casting rolls, 1 in 6 chance to add +2 to affect rolls.<br/><br/><strong>Animal</strong>: a very skeptical looking grey and black Pygmy Owl, for message carrying named Vaya. <br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> THE NUMBERS</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/>Agility                 - 4 1BAcrobatics<br/>Animal Handling - 2<br/>Athletics             - 3<br/>Awareness         - 3 1B Empathy<br/>Cunning             - 3 1B Decipher 1BMemory<br/>Deception           - 3<br/>Endurance          - 2<br/>Fighting              - 2<br/>Knowledge         - 3 1B Education<br/>Magical Expertise - 3<br/>Magical Projection - 3 1B(Curses)<br/>Magical Studies      - 3 1B Herbology<br/>Marksmanship        - 2<br/>Persuasion             - 3 (1B Qualitiy - F.I.H.P.)<br/>Reflexes                 - 3 1B Dodge<br/>Status                     - 3 <br/>Stealth                  -  3<br/>Will                        - 4<br/><br/><br/><strong>Qualities</strong>: Friends in High Places: +1B to all Persuasion tests with characters of Status 4 or greater.<br/>.<br/><strong>Disadvantages</strong>: Poor Health: Reduce Endurance tests to remove injuries or wounds by 3.<br/><br/>STATS<br/>Intrigue Defense= 6<br/>Composure= 12<br/>Combat Defense= 7<br/>Health= 6<br/>Passive Resistance= 8  OR 16 <br/>Damage= 1/0/3<br/>Movement= 4<br/>Sprint= 16<br/><br/>Destiny point Invested upon character creation - FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES.

She'll grow taller in the coming years, and thin out, for now, she has yet to completely grow into herself. Her eyes appear to be black, and her hair is considerably darker than her Sisters. Gilda wears fine clothes, and she dresses her hair extensively every morning. Her shadow seems to glow in colour, and her laugh is more physical than it is aural. She has baby fat on her face, her legs, arms, and stomach, but it's not noticeable unless she's in an unassuming pose. She is regal and intimidating, pretty, but not gorgeous, Gilda is a classic beauty. But, she typically has a disapproving glare glued to her brow.</em><br/><br/>Personality: <em>Gilda is proper, refined, careful with her word chose and considerably more respectful than her other peers. Her family is known for their cunning, and their royal sense of character. There is a genuine charisma about Gilda, she's difficult to disagree with, and easy to follow. However, she's spent all of her time on social prowess and quidditch practice, so she is actually very foolish and naive about almost everything. Her wise voice is only a show that hides the stupid little girl inside.</em><br/><br/>History: <em>Refer to Vexa's history for more information. They are sister's after all. While growing up, it was easy for their parents to favour Gilda, for even while Vexa was a baby, she was mostly concerned with her own business, and didn't crave a lot of attention, nor did her parents give her any attention. Gilda was the hero of the family, and always the favourite.</em><br/><br/>Wand: <em>Narrow: Your wand is long and thin, perhaps slightly frail.  +1 rays, -1 fighting</em><br/><br/>Animal:<em>A Barn Owl, also strictly used for messages and communication.

This attack deals 1d6 damage, increasing by an additional 1d6 damage for every six Bender Levels that you have. This damage may either be non-lethal bludgeoning damage, or lethal sonic damage, at your option.  <br/>Augment:<br/>- By using five points of your augment pool, you can perform this form as part of a standard melee attack on the same target.<br/>- By using five points of your augment pool, you can initiate bull rush attacks with successful Air Blast strikes.  Anyone struck by the attack (or who fails their save, if this ability is made to require a save instead) is subject to a bull rush attempt by the attack, using your scores and modifiers (although not limited by your movement). You gain a bonus to this bull rush check equal to half your Bender Level. If you fail the attempt, you are not subject to any reactive rolls or effects.- For every five points you use from your augment pool, you gain a +2 bonus to your bull rush attempt.  <br/><br/>Hand of Wind (Fundamental Seed)<br/>Difficulty Class: 5<br/>Components: Somatic, Meditation<br/>Bending Time: Standard action<br/>Maintenance Action: Standard action<br/>Range: 60 ft.<br/>Target: Object or creature up to 5 lbs per Bender Level.<br/>Duration: Concentration<br/>Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (see text)<br/>You move a single object as long as it is within the weight limit. You can take a maintenance action to suspend an object in mid-air between rounds. You move the targeted object up to 30 ft in a round. Subjects can be hurled outside of the range of the form, due to momentum, though you lose control over them.<br/>A number of small objects within the same square can be moved as one, provided they fit in the weight category.  They deal damage as a single large object.  When hurled, you must succeed on a single attack roll to hit the target with the weight, using your base attack bonus + your Wisdom modifier. When thrusting, you do not have specific control over the way an object is thrown, so its inherent lethality doesn't come into play. Hard, dense objects deal 1d6 points of damage per 10 lbs. Other objects may deal as little as 1 point per 10 lbs.  <br/>Creatures who fall within the weight capacity of the form can be hurled, but they are allowed Fortitude saves to negate the effect, as are those whose held possessions are targeted by the form. A hurled creature takes damage and deals damage to its target; an unarmored human may deal and take only 1d3 damage per 10 lbs. One in spiked armor may deal and take up to 1d6 damage per 10 lbs.  <br/>You may not target yourself with this form.<br/>Augment:<br/>- For every two points you use from your augment pool, you can move an additional 5 pounds of weight. <br/>- For every two points you use from your augment pool, you can move objects 5 feet farther.<br/><br/>Control Winds (Seed)<br/>Difficulty Class: See Text<br/>Components: Meditation<br/>Bending Time: One round<br/>Maintenance Action: Full-round action<br/>Range: 60 ft.<br/>Area: Cone-shaped spread of wind<br/>Duration: Concentration + one round<br/>You begin to change the wind speed in a 60-ft. cone in front of you.

For the duration of this form, you gain a +1 bonus to your melee attacks and damage with light or one-handed weapons for every three Bender Levels you possess.<br/>Augment:<br/>- For every five points you use from your augment pool, your melee attacks with light or one-handed weapons ignore 10% miss chance due to concealment or other effects.<br/><br/><br/>Heavenly Stride (Seed)<br/>Difficulty Class: 20<br/>Components: Somatic<br/>Bending Time: Varies; see text.<br/>Maintenance Action: Swift action (Windrunner)<br/>Range: Personal<br/>Target: Self<br/>Duration: Instantaneous (Cloudwalker); Concentration (Windrunner)<br/>This stance initiates two different forms:<br/>Cloudwalker: As a full-round action, make a Jump check.  Add your Bending check to the result.

For every consecutive run or double move thereafter, you gain an additional +5 bonus, to a maximum of +20.<br/>Augment:<br/>- For every point you exceed the base difficulty maximum speed increases by 5 feet.<br/><br/>Wind Burst (Seed)<br/>Difficulty Class: 15<br/>Components: Somatic<br/>Bending Time: Standard action<br/>Range: 5 ft.<br/>Area: 5-ft radius burst centered on you<br/>Duration: Instantaneous<br/>Saving Throw: Reflex half<br/>The air around you explodes in a circular burst. Creatures within the area must make a Reflex save or take 1d4 bludgeoning damage.

Use your Wisdom score in place of your Strength score for this attempt. If you fail the attempt, you are not subject to any reactive rolls or effects. <br/>Augment:<br/>- For every two points you use from your augment pool, you deal an additional 1d4 damage.<br/>- For every four points you use from your augment pool, the radius increases by 5 feet.<br/>- For every two points that you exceed the base difficulty class, you gain a +1 bonus to your Bull Rush attempt with this form.<br/><br/><br/>Skills:  <br/>Balance      9 +2 +2 +0   =d20+13<br/>Bending      9 +4 +2 +0   =d20+15<br/>Bluff         9 +2 +0 +0   =d20+11<br/>Concentration      9 +1 +0 +0   =d20+10<br/>Diplomacy      9 +2 +4 +0   =d20+15<br/>Escape Artist      9 +2 +0 +0   =d20+11<br/>Jump         9 +1 +2 +0   =d20+12 <br/>Perform: Versatile   9 +2 +0 +2   =d20+13<br/>Tumble      9 +2 +2 +0   =d20+11<br/><br/>Gear:  <br/>Bodice Purse: 9 Platinum<br/>Dancer’s Costume, Masterwork<br/>Explorer’s Outfit<br/><br/>Belt Pouch<br/>Candle X3<br/>Chalk X3<br/>Flint and Steel<br/>Smoke Bomb<br/>Whistle<br/><br/>Backpack<br/>Bedroll and Winter Blanket<br/>Masterwork Flute<br/>Shovel<br/>Silk Rope 50’<br/>--Grapple<br/>Smoke Bomb X4<br/><br/>Purse:  <br/>Gold 10<br/>Silver 3<br/>Copper 6<br/></div></div><br/>Mutants and Masterminds Stats:<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Name:       Mie Feng<br/>Concept:   Air Bender<br/><br/>Attributes: 32, Advantages 12, Defenses 16, Powers: 28, Skills 32=120<br/><br/>Strength   +1<br/>Stamina   +2<br/>Agility      +4<br/>Dexterity   +2<br/>Fighting   +2<br/>Intellect   +1<br/>Awareness   +2<br/>Presence   +2<br/><br/>Dodge:      (4+4)      =8<br/>Fortitude   (4+2)      =6<br/>Parry      (4+2)      =6<br/>Toughness   (0+2 +2)   =4<br/>Will      (4+2)      =6<br/><br/>Skills:  <br/>Acrobatics               10+4   =d20+14<br/>Athletics               8+2   =d20+10<br/>Close Combat: Air Bender Unarmed      4+2   =d20+6<br/>Close Combat:  Air Bender Staff      4+2   =d20+6<br/>Deception:                 2+2   =d20+4 (+6)<br/>Expertise: Dancer            8+1   =d20+9<br/>Insight:                 4+2   =d20+6 <br/>Investigation               4+1   =d20+5<br/>Perception               4+2   =d20+6<br/>Persuasion               6+2   =d20+8 (+10)<br/>Ranged Combat: Air Bending         4+2   =d20+6<br/>Stealth                  4+4   =d20+8<br/>Vehicles: Flying Bison         2+2   =d20+4<br/><br/>Advantages:  <br/>Assessment<br/>Attractive (+2)<br/>Defensive Attack<br/>Defensive Roll X2<br/>Equipment (5)<br/>Evasion (+2)<br/>Fascinate (Expertise: Dance)   <br/>Instant Up<br/>Improved Initiative (+4)<br/>Improved Trip<br/>Team Work<br/><br/><br/>(28):  Air Bending Adept:  <br/>    ""Tornado"" Blast 6 (Extras: Area- 30ft.

Its lounge on the first floor is of a rather comfortable size, with a few couches and some plush chairs, with some decently-sized tables between them. The radiant yellow color from the walls offer a sense of peace, and it's a rather relaxing place for the students to socialize. Upon one wall, however, there is a rather nice painting of the dorm's mascot, the Winged-Dragon of Ra.<br/><br/>In the dining area, the students can order some decent meals, though certainly nothing as luxurious in the Obelisk Blue dining hall. There are quite a few places to sit while the students wait for their food, however, and the meals are always guaranteed within fifteen minutes or less.<br/><br/>Each room on the three floors that house them fit two students at a time with comfortable living space, with enough room for two beds, two desks, a large closet, and a chest of drawers. Each floor has two public bathrooms, each equipped with showers. It also has its own co-ed bath house behind it, though it's much larger than Slifer Red's. Between the girls' side and the boys', there are walls that separate the mixed bath in the middle. The students that reside in the dorm are typically friendly, though they may not be as helpful to each other as in Slifer Red.<br/><br/>A couple of gangs have been formed within the dorm, but they really only cause trouble to teachers, and only to students that give them any lip. They do have dueling skills, though, and aren't afraid to make bets with other students in a hurry.<br/>"

It had many windows, several rooms, and a massive courtyard. This building was the Duel Monsters Academy, famed for its many students that left to become masters in the pro circuit. It had been standing for many a year, and no one could remember the founder, but they knew one thing; those that wanted to make Duel Monsters their career would need to go to the Academy.<br/><br/>It was just before the start of a new school semester, and all the first-year students that were accepted were supposed to be loitering around the courtyard until they were called in, then they were supposed to walk through the massive, glass doors to the facility. Soon enough, as the last person arrived on the boat, a speaker sounded with a blaring noise, and the announcement was made.<br/><br/><em>""Bzzt! All first-year students, please enter the main auditorium and take a seat. The entrance exams will begin in fifteen minutes. Bzzt!""</em><br/><br/>That was the announcement that everyone was waiting for. After a few seconds, the glass doors opened on their own, and all who were supposed to enter were to do so then and there. The next chapter in all their lives was about to begin."

She'd actually been a student at the West Academy (albeit not a particularly good one), but the transfer student policy said that she still had to go through with the placement examination. Really, it was a huge bother to Jessie!<br/><br/>Still, she had some confidence in her deck. During the stay-over in Japan on her way to the island, she managed to get her hands on some fairly good cards to round out her Masked HERO deck. Now instead of relying on a host of Normal monsters and support spells and traps, she actually had some powerful warriors to lay the smack-down with. Jessie would clearly rank the best out of the whole event, and everyone would worship the ground she walked on!

""The entrance exams will soon begin, and here are the rules. First, these duels will be played with 4000 Life Points, so they should not last too long. Second, each player will duel two opponents, and the results of these two duels will determine your dorms. Third, you will be handed your duel disk as you enter the arena, which are already programmed to this special format. They will keep track of your record, so you won't have to record it yourself. Now, we will start calling out the duels, so please go to the arena as your name is called.""<br/><br/>After his announcement, he pulled out a list and started to read off it. ""Zames Ragues, you will be dueling Sol Varon in Duel Arena #1!"" At his words, spotlights shone above the specific arena they were to be directed to, and then the man read off the list again.<br/><br/>""Jessie Smith, you will be dueling Percy Mudo in Duel Arena #2!"" Just as before, spotlights shone over the arena that they were meant to go to, and then the man read once more.<br/><br/>""Madison Sage, you will be dueling Liam Bones in Duel Arena #3!"" Again, spotlights shown on the designated dueling stage, and a small, lean boy with a pale complexion started to walk towards that way.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Hearing his name, Percy just smiled and got up from his seat as the announcer kept calling names, until all four dueling arenas were full. His hand kept fiddling with his deck until he hit the stage, then he walked up to the attendants, who handed him his duel disk for the test. While the disk was starting up, he put in his trusty Gishki deck and smiled at his opponent, the spirit of competition in his eyes."

Jessie wasn't the type to sit around meekly and do things the boring way! She was gonna get psyched up and wipe the floor with any nerd that dared . . . oh hey, her opponent was actually handsome! Jessie bounded (Or maybe bounced) her way over to her side of the arena, accepting the disk with a quick nod before putting it on and slamming her deck into it, turning to point a finger at Percy while the auto-shuffler did it's job.<br/><br/><strong>""Alright buddy, listen up. My name is Jessie Smith, and I'm gonna be the number 1 student at this school, so I'm gonna go first and you can just <em>deal with it</em>!""</strong><br/><br/>That sounds like a catch phrase! . . also Jessie trying way too hard to try and be intimidating. In the end she made good on her promise though and drew her hand, and then the sixth card for her first draw phase. Glancing at her cards, she nodded to herself as she rearranged them before placing a creature in face up attack mode.<br/><br/><strong>""We're starting things off right with Masked HERO Bassols (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Masked_HERO_Bassols)!""</strong><br/><br/>It . . wasn't really a very impressive card. Sure, the big masked guy looked kind-of cool, but he was only a level 3 normal monster with a meager 1000 attack points. Jessie apparently wasn't done though, as she threw down a spell card followed by a second monster!<br/><br/><strong>""Not done yet!

""Alright, I'll try to deal with it,"" he said as he drew his starting hand and she went on with her opening move. It seemed like they were both just normal monsters, though, with little attack, and a bit of a waste for using such a useful spell. Perhaps she had a plan, but with nothing behind her monsters to back them up, things would probably be a little tough for her.<br/><br/>As he drew, though, he saw that his hand may not have been much better, depending on what she may have had in her hand. However, he knew there was a certain part that she couldn't stop.<br/><br/>""Alright, for my first move, Jessie, I'll be discarding two of my Gishki Shadows (http://www.coolstuffinc.com/images/Products/YuGiOh%20Art/Hidden%20Arsenal%205/HA05EN036.jpg) to pull out two Gishki Aquamirrors (http://www.coolstuffinc.com/images/Products/YuGiOh%20Art/Hidden%20Arsenal%205/HA05EN055.jpg),"" he said calmly, doing just as he said without much splendor.

As the image came out, it lashed out a chain that wrapped around Percy's deck, pulling out three cards. ""I get to see the top three cards of my deck, and add one to my hand if it's a Gishki Ritual Monster or Spell,"" Percy said as he looked at his cards. Seeing one of the requirements, he revealed the card. ""It's my third Gishki Aquamirror,"" he said as he returned the other two cards and shuffled the deck.<br/><br/>""Now, then, I'll have my Gishki Chain attack your Masked HERO Fountain,"" Percy said with a lack of intensity, but more of a friendly tone. As he spoke, the chain which the Gishki held lunged forward, attempting to strike the HERO right between the eyes."

Alyssa was glad the she would be of any help to him.<br/><br/>When his name was announced, he quickly went to the dueling arena three. From there, he waved a hand to the nurse. Alyssa waved back, yelling:<strong>""Good luck, Madison-kun!""</strong>Maybe he didn't hear it, but it didn't matter.<br/><br/>His opponent had a cunning smile on his face. Alyssa couldn't hear what he said, but it was probably something to tease Madison-kun. All the duelists were serious in this business, she thought. Anything they would do to shake their opponent's concentration would be worth it. For Alyssa, that sounded like cheating. So, seeing Madison so calm and respectful, she had another reason to keep rooting for him.<br/><br/>She went to near the arena where they were dueling, to have a better vision of the duel. There, she saw a girl running to near them and waving to Madison, and his quick response to her. Guess he hadn't trouble with girls, after all, thought Alyssa, chuckling.<br/><br/>But he was taking the duel seriously. In no time, he defeated his opponent, who lost his temper right after. Alyssa couldn't tell for sure, but it seemed that he was a talented duelist, after all. Smiling, she just stood quiet waiting for him to leave the arena. She wanted to congratulate him, but maybe it was better to stay quiet for now and see if that girl would try to engage in a chat with him. She wouldn't spoil his chance with a girl."

He was going to have to play his cards well in order to beat that he wagered.<strong>""Turn Three, Draw Card.""</strong>Madison looked at the card he drew and pursed his lips together for the moment before he then plays a card. However he might as well play another card. He places a field spell card down on the field called Spellbook Tower of Prophecy. The voice module would explain the effect of the field aloud.<strong>""Once per turn, during your Standby Phase, if you have 1 or more Spellcaster-Type monsters in your Graveyard or on your side of the field: You can return 1 ""Spellbook"" Spell Card from your Graveyard to the bottom of your Deck, except ""Spellbook Institute - La Maison""; draw 1 card.

It was a gamble yes but one he had to make. He summoned Spellbook Magician of Prophecy (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120907022233/yugioh/images/9/98/SpellbookMagicianofProphecy-REDU-EN-UR-1E.png) an effect monster that works by normal summoning him to the field and when that happens he is allowed to search his deck for a Spellbook Spell Card and add it into his hand. He makes his selection and then exhaled looking to the field and then to her. Spellbook Magician was in attack mode due to being normal summoned but he knew he couldn't possibly best that Armadillo with that. However what he does do is play the card he searched for. The card in question was the Spellbook of Secrets (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120819164913/yugioh/images/1/18/SpellbookofSecrets-REDU-EN-UR-1E.jpg) which allowed him to search his deck for yet another card named Spellbook. He had to reveal it to his opponent so he did so. The holofield magnifies it for her so it was in plain sight.

But that Armadillo was going one way or another so to him he would have kept going with the attack but on the set monster instead but only he knew the reason why he'd make such a choice. Regardless he would have his turn now and then draws his next card. Honestly the card was good but for the moment a touch disappointing on what he had liked to get but maybe the cards were telling him it was better to have some kind of back up. However he would first trigger the effect of his field card the Spellbook Tower of Prohecy because he had a spellbook card in his grave. He might as well add it back into the deck and then gain the ability to draw a second card. So he did so and again he winds up getting something he really shouldn't need but again maybe the cards we're telling him maybe this was the time to act.

And he chooses to destroy her face down card in her spell and trap zone. He figured it was probably a trap so he would play it safe. He had a chance for another desicive victory and the reward was a chance into the Obelisk Dorms. He had a sincere smile upon his face as the computer asked if the opponent had any moves to make before the effect resolves.

Mikhail stood to stretch. He wasn't an average Russian male, because of his pretty boy face and the fact he wasn't 6 foot something like most other Russians. This always led him to believe that his mother came from a different nation. Mikhail was 5'10'' with blue eyes and black hair. His outfit consisted of a black jacket over his white shirt and black pants. He was wearing his lucky white headband that his father gave to him before passing away. Mikhail held it dear for it was the only thing besides his deck that his father left him behind. Mikhail's father won many finals wearing this headband which made Mikhail think it had his father's skill imbued into it. He tightened it before responding to Prior.<br/><br/><strong>""Hmmph, Father always said it was to your disadvantage to underestimate all your opponents, Prior. Strategist would be upset.""</strong>Prior left with a ""hmmph"" of his own and left Mikhail back to his thoughts.<br/><br/>Mikhail leaned back into his chair, waiting to be called. He smiled and said to himself,<strong>""There must be a lot of stronger people here. Father would be glad I came here to hone my dueling abilities.

She couldn't follow all what happened in the duel, however, because someone was still touching her in an awkward place. Whoever he was, he didn't seems to be doing that on purpose. Maybe it was just the place too crowded and Alyssa imagining things. Too many things. She began to rub a thigh against another, trying to get rid of that hand, but to no success. If much, she pressed her rear even tighter against it. And she had to admit, blushing, that it was naughtily good.<em>I-I need to g-get out of here</em>, she thought, panicked.<br/><br/>Looking at the arena, she Madison winning his duel and the most desired Obelisk Blue rank. When he looked at the stands, she somehow was sure he was looking for her. Maybe she should go and congratulate him? Well, at least she would be leaving that place and that hand...<br/><br/>Alyssa made her way through the students a bit clumsly. Suddenly, a student bumped into her, apologizing right after.<strong>""Oh, no, it's my fault. S-Sorry!""</strong>But when she looked up to see the boy, he had already passed after her. Sure he was in a hurry!<br/><br/>The nurse finally left the stands, meeting with Madison. Her first reaction was to hug him.<strong>""Congratulations, Madison-kun! I knew you could do it!""</strong>Alyssa didn't thought if it was proper to have such a intimate contact with a student. It just felt like the right thing to do in the moment, a hug like a elder sister or a mother would give. And, truth to be told, she was just a bit aroused from what happened in moments ago."

Mikhail scoffed at the demented logic that just because you wore a certain color made you better than everyone else. Mikhail read up on the history of this school and there was even a King of Games who came from Slifer Red and he even saved the world a few times.<strong>""Dueling is about fun.

Satisfied, he turned the corner and knelt down beside what he wanted to show her; it was Liam Bones and the security guard watching him, both lying on the ground, staring straight up at the ceiling, barely breathing and immobile, their eyes with a glaze as their skin looked rather pale. ""I think they might..."" Percy chose his words carefully; he knew that if he said what he thought really was the case, he'd look like a freak. ""...I think they might be comatose..."""

Perhaps he was just suddenly hit by the harsh reality that was before him. As he felt the nurse's hand on his shoulder, though, he looked up at her with his red eyes, with a near-piercing gaze as he wondered if she was feeling the same way.<br/><br/>He didn't have too much time to wonder, though, as the doctor and a couple of other security guards came by with two stretchers, hurrying at a jogging pace.

Then, he turned to Percy and placed a hand on his shoulder, similar to how Alyssa did earlier. ""<strong>We can take it from here, kid,</strong>"" he said with a forced smile on his face. ""<strong>You did the right thing by telling someone. Go ahead and sit in the auditorium; we can take it from here.</strong>""<br/><br/>Percy just nodded, a sort of blank look on his face before he turned around and ran into the auditorium, quickly looking for a seat, preferably next to either Sol or Jessie; he was in one of the few moods where he really wanted to sit next to just anybody he knew.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Announcer</strong><br/><br/>As the announcer busied himself with just watching the remaining duels, he saw the amazing conclusion to the duel between Zames and Jessie, which made him almost forget about the current situation. However, as it ended and people just started to socialize, he heard his two-way radio go off, and he held it to his ear, and heard that he needed to tell everyone to take a seat.<br/><br/>""Attention, all duelists!"" he said into the microphone with authority, prompting for attention. ""All of you need to take a seat now, as quickly as possible. As soon as everyone takes their seats, I have a few announcements to make before we end the activities for today.

Tepesh Estate is a castle that sits four stories high, with a large garden labyrinth sitting in the back. Built by Lady Elena's ancestors several generations ago, it has remained in her family ever since.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Today was a very windy day outside. Trees strained against the gusts, while shutters on the castle clash and bang against the window frames. Despite this, Lady Elena still seems to be fast asleep."

She has silver hair that goes to the middle of her back which is usually tied into twin tails, she is really pale, has purple eyes, very delicate doll like features. She also wears a sky blue shirt and skirt along with her white apron, headband, and black knee socks and sky blue shoes. Finally it can be noted that she had around her neck a black collar with golden tags on it. of course this was after dressing and peparing herself for the day.<br/><br/>She then proceeded out of the castle to a small shed which was where fire wood was stored. She would carry just enough wood for the heating of a bath for the mistress of the manor. Once the wood was gathered she would then head back out to where a well was in the yard of the manor. The wind would whip around her noisaly causing her hair and clothes to be buffeted about. She would then carry the water up to where the tub was in which the lady would bathe. She then would stoke the fire and heat said water until it was the right temperature.<br/><br/>After having acclomplishing these tasks she would head to wake the lady Elena Tepesh. She would first knock politely on the door and in a soft yet firm tone announce her preasence loud enough to be heard ""My Lady I am entering the chamber now"" with that she would enter the chambe and approach the bed. She would then gently shake the young lady ""Madam it is time for you to wake up"""

Kingsley Shacklebolt ""regrettably"" decides that Hogwarts is not safe for student admission.  The school remains closed for three years while repairs to the basic infrastructure are made.  Repairs

approved by the Ministry that turned out to be far more than unfit.  The trials go on for the entire 2001-2002 school year, with both Ministry officials and Hogwarts professors making accusations of

resigns from her position in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, expressing ""greatest discontent and regret"" creating shockwaves and further fueling the Hogwarts team's case against the Ministry.  Fires are further fueled when Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom follow suit, resigning as well from the Auror's Office.  The four high-profile resignations kick off other resignations as well from within the Ministry.  Just as the Daily Prophet announces the ""collapse of the Ministry of Magic,"" Poppy Pomfrey and Rolanda Hooch resign.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">February of 2003: Chaos Takes Hold</span><br/>Two class action lawsuits are filed, the first against the Ministry for various crimes committed by their appointed instructors, and the second against Hogwarts for negligence.  The lawsuits are both headed by the currently unemployed Hermione Granger.  A very thorough list of dangers were left unchecked within the school and on the school grounds is provided, as well as charges of conspiracy from within the Ministry.  Neville and several other students provide testimony of the Crucio curses they received at the hands of their Ministry-approved professors, and Hermione herself takes the stand to tell of the troll and basilisk that almost killed her while she was in the school.  Strangely absent from the trials is Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">April of 2003: Death Eaters Return</span><br/>A muggle family is murdered and the Dark Mark appears for the first time since 1998.  Two more marks appear within a week.  With three Aurors no longer employed by the Ministry, little can be done in response.  Ex-Auror Scott Edgar is brought out of retirement to lend a hand, and Minister Shacklebolt issues a decree to suspend all trials involving the Ministry so that the Ministry can focus on the new activity.  Harry Potter finally comes forward, bringing a series of accusations against the Ministry as well as Shacklebolt himself, bringing light of his actions as part of the Order of the Phoenix, to include the missions authorized by Shacklebolt endangering the students of Hogwarts.  Shacklebolt is suspended during the investigation, leaving Pius Thicknesse as acting Minister.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">October of 2003: A Deal is Reached</span><br/>Hermione Granger agrees to a deal with Kinsgley Shacklebolt and Professor McGonagall.  Under this deal, the Ministry of Magic would be required to pay a stipend to all students that attended Hogwarts from August of 1995 through May of 1998 for offenses committed by Dolores Umbridge and the Carrow siblings.  Professor McGonagall was forced to agree to allow any number of students to gather outside of classes without retribution provided that a prefect, Head Boy, or Head Girl was in attendance.  This would be to ensure that the students would have the ability to ban together and protect each other in the result of an abusive professor.  Should that right be infringed, the students would contact the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, which would be authorized to intervene in such cases.  Shacklebolt is unable to carry out his end as he is currently suspended, so Harry agrees to drop the charges in exchange for a written agreement to the terms.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">July of

teach, assist, or substitute.  In addition, the Department of Magical Games and Sports would retain approval authority over Quidditch pitches, dueling grounds, and classrooms involving the instruction of magic, but that the Ministry does not have the authority to interfere with school proceedings in any other way.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">August of 2004: Back to Work</span><br/>With the ruling of the Wizengamot accepted by both sides, Hermione Granger reapplies and is accepted back into the Department of Magical Law.  Within the week, applications are received from Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Neville Longbottom.  They are accepted back into the Auror Office.  They join the existing Aurors against the recent surge in Death Eater cells, and Dark Marks stop appearing very quickly.  Unfortunately, Hogwarts can not claim the same success.  Rolanda Hooch and Madame Pomfrey do not return.  Steven Gates becomes the first new professor hired after re-earning his NEWTs in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Herbology, and Arithmancy.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">May of 2006: Autonomy</span><br/>After endless inspections of both professors and structure and several debates about the Forbidden Forest, the Department of Magical Education and Department of Wizarding Trials Authority (formerly Games and Sports) rule Hogwarts fit for instruction and free to self-govern within the limits agreed upon.  Headmistress McGonagall and Deputy Headmaster Flitwick immediately set about inscribing various security measures and doing some mild renovating.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">August of 2006: Current Time</span>"

There was a chill in the air, but still it felt much better than her first year. In the distance loomed amber lights of Hogwarts. Unlike some students, she did not mind its partial need for further reconstruction since it still looked much better than her mother’s apartment back home. With a level gaze, she made her way quietly through the throes of students, both new and old, towards the waiting carriages with a leveled gaze that did not linger on anyone for longer than a few seconds. Once in the carriage, she managed to have idle chatter with one of her housemates, mostly gossip along with the usual superficial questions about summer.<br/><br/>In truth, Jamie did not give a damn about anyone’s activities over summer. It all seemed to be the same bullshit answers each year. Yet, every once in a while, someone managed to surprise her with an activity out of the ordinary or might hold potential significance. The ride ended quickly, and they were hustled indoors by prefects. Jamie made her way with ease towards the Slytherin tables, not taking a moment to admire the décor in the Great Hall. It was the same as last year anyways. Her stomach grumbled hungrily since she did not manage to eat before the train departed, and she drummed her fingers against the table as the sorting began. The new students either looked innocent, naïve, or foolish. There were a few that appeared more intriguing than others due to last names or even mannerisms. She did not bother to clap for other houses. Soon enough, it was over, but food was yet to be served. Old McGonnagall needed to flap her gums. Her eyes quickly went to Professor Hall due to his relevance to her house. He looked a tad bit serious, likely intolerant of any troublemaking. No smile.<br/><br/>Still, she flashed a fiendish smile in his direction along with the respected and required clap of recognition. Jamie's hand came up to play with a gold strand of hair as McGonnagall continued to introduce the new professors and faculty. Just when she thought it was over, Professor Flitwick moved towards the podium, causing Jamie’s jaw to clench in annoyance. What did a person have to do around here to get some food? Her fingers tapped even faster on the table as his excitement spread through the hall. His request was met with a stare from Jamie but she complied as expected due to the watching eyes of professors and heads of house alike.<strong>“Hogwarts.”</strong>There was feigned excitement in her voice but not nearly as much as Professor Flitwich. Suddenly, the ceiling was covered with confetti which rained down on everyone’s heads equally. She could only shake her head, one would not be able to tell if it was in enjoyment or annoyance.<strong>“What a great way to start the school year.”</strong><br/>"

Everybody was excited, to varying degrees, or perhaps influenced by another emotion; but, not even curiosity seemed to show on the blond-haired teenager. And when the others in his carriage seemed wanting to engage him in conversation, his laconic answers, tinged with the biting German accent of his, seemed to make them lose interest quickly.<br/><br/>When he walked, it was with a certain amount of stiffness. Every step seemed to be perfectly equal and measured, and every step carefully chosen to optimize his travel time to wherever he went. Though his eyes gazed around and took in his surroundings and the people around him, he seemed entirely dispassionate, but not disinterested.<br/><br/>He would move over to one of the tables, a bit confused as to where he should be; this was his first time here, after all, and he had been sorted when he first came here with his parents, and worked out everything about shifting his education from Durmstrang to here. But, he does not look confused, and he certainly would never admit to such a weakness.<br/><br/>Thankfully, it was the table he was meant to be at. He would seat himself next to Jamie, whereupon he would offer her only the most basic of greetings. ""Guten abend."" His German had the fluidity of someone that was a natural speaker of it.  Though he spoke English fluently, he was planning to see if anybody here would happen to know the tongue of his father-land.<br/><br/>After speaking, however, he grew quiet, for it was time for the Professors to speak. He paid close attention to what they have to say, paying particular attention when the Head of House for Slytherin is mentioned. Gustav could tell at a glance that he'd get along with the man.<br/><br/>When the time to yell comes, the German is noticeably not speaking. He was not particularly thrilled with the idea of festivities, and when the confetti rains down upon them, he stands up, and shakes himself off; much like a dog would, really. It served the purpose of getting all the confetti off of him.  What an annoyance, he thought, as he sat back down."

It was all in the beard; though, their is also the fact that Alphonse is pretty much an animal whisperer, much like the half-giant. Stocky, too.<br/><br/>He was, as always, accompanied by his faithful familiar, a cat about three feet long, and a foot tall at the shoulders who strutted around as if he owned the place. It is often said, of cats, that they used to be worshiped as gods in Egypt, and that they have never forgotten those times. With Mori, it seems to be the case.<br/><br/>The trip on the carriage was fairly short and sweet, and spent with Al mostly pampering the monster of a cat, with scratches behind the ears, and strokes along the back and the like. Their were also several cases where his companions in the carriage received the evil eye from the cat, but, Mori never did more than glare.<br/><br/>Once they were inside the Great Hall, his familiar takes off, darting nimbly--despite his size-- through the crowd to the Hufflepuff table. The cat jumps up, and claims a seat at one end of the table, and the seat directly next to it, by stretching out on them both.<br/><br/>With a laugh, and a bounce in his step, Alphonse steps up to the cat. ""Thanks for saving our seats."" He would say, and just like that, the cat gets up, and stands on the spot that was not at the direct end; that was where Alphonse liked to sit, and Mori dutifully formed a barrier between him and the next closest student.<br/><br/>This was all done right there, around Danner's vicinity. The sight should not be unfamiliar; in fact, it's pretty much routine. Mori always sat next to Al, and Al was always at the edge of the table, so that he had one side of himself unexposed to house mates. Danner would also full well know that once the food is out and being served, Mori is going to end up with a plate of meat, and he will happily devour it, all while maintaining a nearly human-like set of table manners. Hell, the cat has more table manners than Al, who tended to be a messy and occasionally loud eater.<br/><br/>Occasionally, Al would give his friend, Danner, a sort of conflicted look. He never did like meal times, with how many people were around, and how much activity there was. It was unsettling for Al, who was used to the quiet existence on his family's beast-breeding farm.  Where, more often than not, it was just him and the animals, not... hundreds of kids.<br/><br/>Mori, meanwhile, was mostly ignoring everybody and everything, and just looking angry. Even his tail is flicking back and forth with sharp movements, occasionally thudding down on the bench he sat upon. Mori was not fond of the crowds, either; or, perhaps, the Familiar was upset because it sensed how uncomfortable his Master was, and the Familiar was not in a position to do anything to fix the problem.<br/><br/>When the confetti rains down upon  them, Al finally makes a noise; a short burst of laughter. Mori, meanwhile, just howls pitifully, because ugh, these brightly colored bits of paper are totally and completely messing up his fur, which he spent the entire time on the train getting to be<em>just right</em>."

They were both gingers so the young Hufflepuff only found it fit to fall in love with him. From Serena’s point of view, Charlize was just being narcissistic, but she encouraged her all the same. It was Sarah she had found however and Charlize gave her a sincere smile, gesturing that they should meet in the hallway as soon as dinner was over.<br/><br/>“Al!” she shouted across the table, trying to cover the sound of dishes being passed on from student to student and the usual chatter. “Can I come over there for a while?” she said hinting at the apparently empty seat next to him which was in fact taken by Mori. At the time she couldn’t see Alphonse’s familiar, although she should have known by now that each year Mori would seat at the table just like a regular student, always next to his keeper.  Somehow, Charlize wiped off the fact from her memory, like most things regarding wild animals…her only fear.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Basil<br/><strong>House/Year:</strong>Hufflepuff/6th<br/><strong>Bloodtype: </strong>Muggleborn<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Great Hall, Hufflepuff  table<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>no one specifically<br/><br/>The Romanian Hufflepuff Beater found it hard to sit at the table as he usually prefered standing, even when he took his meals. Because being in the center of attention was the alternative, he had to endure it nonetheless. He wasn’t much of an eater, the only thing in front of him on the table was actually a mug of elderflower wine, a secret he shared with one of the house-elves Basil happened to befriend during his 4th year at Hogwarts. The beverage was served to grownups only on special ocassions, like the dinner before the Quidditch World Cup, but Basil could get ahold of it almost any time he wanted, as long as no one knew about it. That was the main reason for which he also had an “usual spot” like Al at the table. When Charlize placed the kidney pudding in front of him, Basil gave her a questioning look. She was always looking for his best interest, although they shared different views on that matter.<br/><br/>Truth be told, Basil had more than enough to eat before he got on the train and for someone having a strict protein based diet, the feast didn’t seem so alluring. He couldn’t say the same thing about who was at the table, though, as his gaze was focussed on the delicate features of another Hufflepuff student. He did his best to hide the stalker-like gestures, but he just couldn’t help it. All summer he had been dreaming about her and now that she was in the flesh at the table, Vexa looked even more surreal than her dream counterpart.<br/><br/>He then saw John Motte and bowed his head in recognition. The Hufflepuff Chaser was probably the only person at the time who could sway Basil’s interest. Another yeas has started and this meant another Quidditch Cup to be won. Before he could say anything to the guy, Charlize’s voice caught his interest. She was calling out to someone and then he spotted Alphonse and Danner.<br/>"

When Daria chose to address Gustav rather than answer her question, Jamie inwardly frowned with annoyance but it did not last long since the girl was not enough to become truly upset over.

She could not help but smile at the look on Abraham’s face since he looked like he was in a cage with death itself.<br/><br/>Some people did not entertain Rhovald but Jamie found him intriguing with a hint of disgusting. He was much more entertaining than some people within her house. Her eyes attempted to catch Rhovald’s gaze to send him a searing look without any reason behind it. She just liked to fuck with him. At that moment, she started to fill her tray with a variety of foods to help push away the hunger that had been building in her stomach. For some reason, she was not in the mood for candy on the train so she had not eaten nearly all day. At that moment, she heard the Xavril’s voice but did not look over to him as she continued to pick through the assortment of food. His chipper attitude was noticed, and at that moment, she turned to look at him. He was humming.<strong>“Are you high?”</strong>She questioned outright while reaching over to fill her cup with some juice.

""Well, I would say yes, but you'd have to fight Mori for the seat. And no matter how many spells you know, I don't think that's a fight anyone can win."" he says with a laugh. As if on cue, Mori rose up and looked straight at Charlize with a venomous glare, mouth opened on one side, baring a single long fang at her. Mori knew her fear, could sense it, and while that made him act with more overt hostility towards her, it ironically meant she was safe around the half-lynx. After all, she properly fears him,<em>as all beings should! </em>And<em>clearly</em>she knows she is inferior to him, the great and powerful--and arrogant, even amongst felines-- Mori. She knows her place, and thus, would not need to be gouged back into it. Such are Mori's thoughts.<br/><br/>Not that Al would ever let Mori get away with that, but the cat certainly seemed to act as if he were not bound by metaphysical chains. Even now, Al was reaching out to scratch along Mori's head, completely spoiling his stare down. ""Hey, now, none of that. You be a good boy, or I bump you down from sirloin to salisbury."" he admonishes Mori, more for appearances than anything. He knew the cat would never hurt someone unless they had attacked one of them first.<br/><br/>When the food materializes before them, Al is quick to load a plate up with a small amount of beef and pork items, but mostly chicken or other poultry. This plate ends up on the edge of the table at Mori's seat. The feline places his front paws on either side of the plate, and eats quietly and neatly.  Their's like a full pound of meat on the plate, and the cat will devour it all; not surprising, given his size, though.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Al settles also for large quantities of meat, but for him, it's mostly beef, and copious amounts of mashed potatoes and gravy."

For a moment their eyes met in a subtle, yet tensed battle of the wills from which the curly haired student escaped with dignity, yet losing nonetheless.<br/><br/>“It’s..perfectly alright” she replied in a feeble voice, raising it succesfully at the last syllables and giving her reply the finishing touch in the form of a smile. Yet another chance she had to pass before getting to chat with the shy Hufflepuff.<br/><br/>Charlize would have befriended Alphonse better a long time ago if it wasn’t for his familiar, Mori. The two were like a single entity, like twins sharing the same spot, life and activities, but not friends. If she knew animals better, Charlize would have also found a way to keep Mori entertained by now, preferably somewhere farther, giving herself the chance to talk with Al more often. The idea of getting mice into Hogwarts did pass her mind, but she had no idea if the half-lynx found it worth its time to chase them…and then she really felt sorry for every tiny creature having to deal with one such as him. This year however she had plans of overcoming her fear. One way or the other, Mori was on her list, the “soon-to-be-friends with” list she kept mentally since the first year. The list was constantly changing, though the number of names never seemed to decrease.  By now she had ‘ticked’ most of the Hufflepuffs in her year, a quarter from the Gryffindor House and almost a half a dozen Ravenclaws. On the other hand there was also Danner who was probably the only one able to help in this matter. He was already a good friend for Al and highly tolerated by Mori, which was an ability worthy of the highest regard in Charlize’s eyes.<br/><br/>Her attention was caught by the ruckus started at the Slytherin table, where things looked as tensed as usual. In her imagination there will always be a grey stormcloud above that table, no matter the year. She couldn’t comprehend their reasons for always poking eachother in mean ways or their fondness for ill-mannered humor. The only one who in her opinion didn’t fit the description was Daria. Charlize had no idea how the dynamic girl ended at the Slytherin House in the first place and the thought intrigued her,even going as far as assuming that the Sorting Hat wasn’t really paying attention that time.<br/><br/>The Hufflepuff student missed Daria’s little trick, but was there when Gustav gave her “the look”. Now this one was certainly new at Hogwarts, Charlize had never seen him before and she knew<em>everybody</em>The blond student couldn’t be a first year, he looked even older than her so a transfer was most likely the answer. But from which school? Then her eyes loomed over Daria’s vicinity and Charlize spotted Xavril gulping down his steak with fervor. At least Mori had table manners. What an unlikely comparison this must have been to any other student, but for Charlize this was the first thing that came into mind. Another year at Hogwarts indeed.<br/><br/>“Did you know that Jamie hasn’t signed up for any clubs last year?” Serena told her matter-of-factly and only then did Charlize took notice of the green-eyed girl sitting next to Xavril. For Charlize Jamie was a mystery, an alluring one albeit the girl’s dark personality..or maybe because of it.  It was even more surprising to hear Serena talk about her, almost making her believe that she was into gossips.<br/><br/>“Don’t look at me that way..” her friend backfired half amused by what Charlize was thinking “ I only mentioned it because I’d like to have her with us in the Dueling Club.”<br/>“Serena, you’re not in the Dueling Club” Charlize pointed out, trying to figure out what Serena really wanted to say.<br/><br/>“Exactly…but if she joins, I might do it too. So far no one from the current line seems interesting enough for me to bother.”<br/>“..and you want me to talk to her about it, right?”  Charlize said getting the grip of Serena’s intentions.<br/><br/>“Insightful as ever, my dear” the girl replied placing a cupcake on Charlize’s empty plate.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Name: </strong>Basil<br/><strong>House/Year: </strong>Hufflepuff/6th<br/><strong>Bloodtype:</strong>Muggleborn<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Great Hall, Hufflepuff  table<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Danner, John Motte (NPC)<br/><br/>Danner was the first one to give Basil a smile and a warm one at that, making the young man ask himself whether he had something stuck between his teeth or around his lips. Upon Danner’s mentioning of the N.E.W.T  levels, Basil cheeks almost caught a hint of red (something he could also place on the wine if things needed further explanations)  He really forgot what the 6th year was supposed to be meant for and just figured that he’ll have time for Quidditch and nothing else.<br/><br/>“Not quite ready yet” he said, the sound of his voice sounding louder than he would have liked to. In all honesty, Basil would have liked to ask for help when it came to the actual studies, but he couldn’t do it while everyone else was around. He was mostly admired for his Quidditch skills, but everyone knew that other than Potions, he was pretty much mediocre in class. He wanted to add something else to his reply, but then John made his way over and offered  to discussion a subject more dear to his heart.<br/><br/>“Quite ready!” he replied shaking John’s hand and scooched over to make room for his Chaser. “This year I hope we get a better strategy in offense. Normally you Chasers start the formation on the other end of the pitch, giving the opposing team enough time to break it. I think next time you should start the formation faster and be in front of the hoops before anyone can stop you.”<br/>"

Mmm, delicious meat; it was not as good as hunting himself, but the feline knew that his chances to hunt would be few and far between while he was dutifully aiding and abetting his Master at this institute of learning.<br/><br/>After some time, Al gets a goblet of pumpkin juice for himself, and a small bowl of water for Mori, who is understandably quite thirsty after his meat buffet. Meanwhile, Al is... going back for seconds. No wonder he's such a large man, he eats enough for two.  Always did, too. A high carb, high protein diet, if one could call it such.  And once he's able to get into Hogsmeade, their will be the daily consuming of sweets and treats, some of which he occasionally doled out in bits of candy-philanthropy to the first years.<br/><br/>When the Gryffindors start their obscenely loud chanting, Al can be seen to visibly shrink in upon himself. He looked like a deer caught in headlights, or... well, something not quite so helpless, but equally shocked. Thankfully, Danner's speech helps bring him away from that.<br/><br/>""Ooh, pigs. You know, fun story, Griffins won't eat pigs by choice. They prefer leaner meats.  Speaking of which, I spent a lot of time riding with Belda and Obda, which is always fun."" He would pause to drink some juice. ""And Mori hunted himself down a full-fledged buck deer!"" When he says this, Mori takes a moment from lapping water to stand up straight, head held high, as if he was saying<em>'Yeah, that's right, I'm that much of a badass, taking down things fifteen times heavier than me. You will fear me now, humans.'</em><br/><br/>""After Mori had his share, I used Engorgio on him, and Super-Mori dragged the whole thing back to the farm with us. Belda and Obda did a good job of finishing it off. Mom did some awesome scrimshawing with the antlers."" He grins open-mouthed at Danner, and gets a wild gleam in his eyes. ""He looked just like a saber-toothed tiger."" Which is probably a stretch of the imagination, but still, an<em>even bigger</em>Mori would truly be a frightening thing to behold.<br/><br/>His attention sharply turned to Charlize, and he seemed to reign in his capriciousness with practiced ease, speaking to her much more calmly, though still loud enough to be heard easily. ""Anything exciting for you, Charlize?"""

Still she had to admit, his voice was one of the reasons why quidditch held her interest.

For the first time since he arrived at Hogwarts, Basil gave a half smile, which was the maximum of happiness he usually displayed on his features. The loud cheering from the Gryffindor table was enough to make him turn around and frown instinctively.  It reminded him of the weight his new responsibility held on his shoulders and that he had to be not only a better Beater this year, but usually an excellent Captain. Somehow he wished to have more “people-skills” like Summerby. Basil had confidence in his strategy.  He knew that all of his ideas will be successful if he found the right way to communicate with all of his teammates and to keep them together. Their best chance was for the team to act as a whole and individually, everyone to do their job perfectly.<br/><br/>Throughout the summer he trained intensively to perfect his hits and to tone his arm muscles. At home he had no bludgers, so Basil trained with the small canon balls his grandfather kept in the basement as a reminder of his warring days.  He enchanted an old baseball pitching machine and re-desgined it for the canon balls.  He also spent his days figuring out new ways to send the bludgers to their targets with a greater speed. Basil was actually proud for achieving his greatest success yet:  keeping his balance on the broom  for a relatively long time without holding his hands on the broomstick.<br/><br/>“Do you think we’re allowed with two bats at the same time?” he asked trying to sound funny, but the question itself was actually important.

He really had no limits when it came to greeting new folks. She assessed his charming way when Richard met with Gustav, the stern-looking transfer student being the first one to held out his hand in greeting.  While not admitting it openly, the girl felt the need to compete with her Prefect on all social standards.

This was the fourth time 'I've been forced to sit through this shit.' It all seemed very 'high-budget'. She was sitting in-between Charlize and a young boy that looked four years younger than he probably was. 'He looks familiar,' Vexa thought, staring into the tiny boy's eyes like a hungry snake trying to decide if it's jaw could open wide enough to eat you. 'too familiar,far too little to be a second year, or a pure blood. Maybe he's my soulmate?' She smiled at the boy, and relief filled his heart. She wanted him to feel welcome, even by the strangest girl at the table. Vexa hadn't been so lucky. She had a stress disorder in this hall. She had dealt with an existential crisis the first time she had been here.<br/><br/><em>""Hufflepuff?! I'm a Slytherin! My family comes from darkness, and pain, what do you know? what do any of you know? I can't believe you rely on such a flawed system! I don't belong here, I never will."" </em><br/><br/>Vexa was a quiet girl, and her cries were mostly internal that day, but the people that were sitting beside her had heard her complaints. The word had spread in only weeks, and she excluded herself from day one by socializing with her sister, and all of her sister's friends. Vexa had worn yellow sashes, and yellow jackets with yellow stripes, she wore the Hufflepuff logo with nothing but spite. Young Ms. Gaudia dressed her house-mates with whispers and distrust. Beyond her beauty, she appeared to be an evil person, and she liked people to think that she was. However, another urgent matter was busy with her in the public eye. She had never done anything wrong. She had never<em>really</em>betrayed anyone. She liked to learn, and grow more than she liked to talk and play. She took quidditch too seriously, especially for being a realistically poor player. she was frail, and her sifting grace was the only thing that allowed her to fly with the rest of the house.<br/><br/>It was only recently, at the end of her third year, did she start to understand why she had been placed in this house. She was nothing like her sister. She was too self motivated to belong with anyone, and Hufflepuff were the most conscientious of that. She did belong, but she still didn't like to admit it.<br/><br/>She could feel Basil absorbing her attire, it wasn't a difficult burn to distinguish, other boys found her sexy, but the captain of her quidditch team had the most trouble obscuring his energy. Vexa was hyper-sensitive to him as well. She liked him too, but sexuality was a complicated corner of her mind. She had never found any use for it, that is until recently.<br/><br/>Then the 'masterminds of the free-wizard' decided to remind everyone of how classy they were. Vexa wanted to scoff, but she was too offended. She turned her shoulders to get a better look of the real display in the great hall: The Gryffindor table made her eyes whir into frustration. She despised pride, deeply, and she was shocked at their ability to embarrass themselves.<br/><br/>As the chants rose, the tensions in the hall built higher and higher.<br/><br/>Vexa squeezed at the fabric of her dress, her clothing was mostly traditional: a cloak, a mantle, and a lowered black hood. She felt covered, but the dress underneath was as frail as she was, black and made of something lighter than air. She had wanted to put her hood up, and go without the cloak, but it felt disrespectful.<em>I would if I was a Slytherin'</em>. It was only a few inches longer than mini-skirts and night-gowns.<br/><br/>Nothing much had taken her attention away from her own thoughts, and her obvious discomfort in her chair. She looked at Basil once, a long stare, that she wasn't hiding. Her brow was steady, and her expression was painted with light concern. She didn't look away until he noticed. She felt like she had a lot more to offer this year, 'he should know.'<br/><br/>Her back was straight, shoulders and breathes were low. Vexa's head had been focused downward. She hadn't taken much to eat, and the plate was empty now, and it looked like it had been cleaned. Her dishes were spotless, and stacked, except for a tall drinking glass in her hand that was half full. A tiny whirlpool was in the water, she wasn't paying attention, she was starting to swoon. The longer Basil didn't notice her watching, the more she felt like he never would. She was starting to feel like a fly on the wall.

The young Beater wasn’t exactly one to try new and dangerous things, especially when Quidditch was involved, but this year he decided to change some things for the better. He was to be Captain, he was to take N.E.W.T.  level classes and..speaking of changes, did Vexa just look at him?  The girl did look away soon after, not keeping her beautiful eyes on him for more than a moment.  Her plates were empty and it wasn’t hard for him to notice the tiny whirlpool taking shape in the glass in front of her.<br/><br/><em>She really is breathtakingly beautiful…</em>he thought and swiftly took out his wand. He wanted to change the shape of her whirpool into a heart…but then just the thought of it seemed so corny and out of place, that Basil soon reconsidered. He decided to talk to her instead..the first major change for this year was going to take place right then and there.<br/>“What are you trying to do there?” his voice was booming again, almost too loud for such an ordinary question. He couldn’t help it though, that’s the way his tone had always been. His father always said that Basil was made for the army, not for witchcraft, but in the end it wasn’t his decision to take.<br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Charlize Renard<br/><strong>House/Year:</strong>Hufflepuff/4th<br/><strong>Bloodtype:</strong>Pureblood<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Great Hall<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>NPCs and Jamie, Gustav, Daria<br/><br/>The look on Charlie’s face when Melinda dispelled his charm was priceless. The floating chicken happened to land in front of him, making his greeting to Charlize and Serena look like a planned comical act. Both Jonathan and Randolph burst into laughter, accompanied by some of the other Ravenclaw students and Serena held the tone back at the Hufflepuff table.<br/>“Why do you always have to be such a sourpuss, Bagwell?” Charlie asked while chewing loudly bits from the chicken, hoping to gross her out with his lack of manners.  Good thing she wasn’t in his year, Charlie was convinced that she’d stop at nothing to ruin his fun everyday otherwise.<br/><br/>Charlize waved back at him before tilting her head in a gesture of recognition for both his efforts and lack of understanding  from the Head Girl, although she tried her best not to burst into laughter herself. The look on his face was really ten times funnier than the act itself.<br/><br/>Serena didn’t have to poke the third time before Charlize left her seat and went over to the Slytherin table to ask Jamie about considering to join the Dueling Club. The young girl wanted to take two birds with one stone..or three for that matter. Having a chance to greet the new guy was one of them, while taking Richard Blackthorne to his rightful place would be next on the list.<br/>“Nice to see you, Richard” she greeted then turned over to the loudest girl in the group with a smile “..Daria…” before greeting Gustav in the same sentence “..and glad to meet you, Gustav.”  She didn’t linger with her own introduction and purposely avoided Xavril’s gaze (it would be so embarassing to have her strange phobia exposed like that) altogether before going over to the exotic looking girl.<br/><br/>“I was wondering if I can speak with you after the feast..” she said politely to Jamie, not knowing for sure how many from the Slytherin table knew about the Dueling Club this year<br/>"

Sure, Jamie felt the nothing but disdain for some of her house members, but she waited until the right moment to announce it. Plus, it was rather stupid in her eyes for him to judge so harshly based on so few. His opinion on Slytherin though mattered little to her, but he would not make connections easily with such a temperament. One would learn quickly that their housemates were occasionally essential to survival in Hogwarts. At the end of the day, Richard would be safe within his cozy house when Gustav remained alone within the cold embrace of the dungeons. To prove Gustav’s opinion on Slytherin, Daria decided to better personify the model of what everyone did not expect of their house.<br/><br/>Her attention turned to Rhorvald, and to her delight, her fiddle ability managed to work. Although, she was not sure if she wanted to learn of this small fact or not. Pure disgust displayed on her face before pity overshadowed it. He had been peeking into the girls’ showers. Was he truly that desperate to get off? A bunch of other thoughts swirled to existence in her mind. How on earth did he know when she showered? It was all the more creepy, and she was tempted to probe further. Yet, she did not want to know more of his dark habits. For now, she would just ensure proper measures were taken to protect herself from his perverted ways. If only she could simply cut his cock off his body…that would solve the problem, wouldn’t it? She turned her eyes way from him, not wanting to think about it any further. Still, she was tempted to enact revenge on the male…eventually.<br/><br/>At that moment, she noticed the way Richard was constantly talking down about Slytherin…directly at a table full of Slytherins.<strong>“Here’s a thought, Blackthorne,”</strong>she snapped impatiently while glaring up at him,<strong>“How about you take yourself back over to your fucking table since you’re clearly not wanted over here.”</strong>For the moment, she ignored her wine since she did not want to stand another second of Richard’s company. Her temper threaten to pop out of its caged confines until someone addressing her caught her attention. She turned her attention from Richard, but she was more than ready to defend herself with her wand if the little shit decided to snap back.<br/><br/>The girl was familiar enough for Jamie to know her name and year. Two years younger than her. What did they have to talk about?<strong>""Hello Charlize,""</strong>she greeted pleasantly rather than directly answer the request.<strong>""You're more pleasant company than your housemate. I don't mind talking after the feast. Meet me by the girls' bathroom.""</strong>"

It was difficult to take anyone seriously, they were like little puppets with recently freed strings. She could only watch the show with a tilted face, and stern lips, a strenuously stressed imagination,<em>hard</em>at work.<br/><br/>Her eyes had drifted away from him, but her mind was like a bee buzzing back and forth between them. She could feel his indecision, though she had no idea how to describe it. It was a burn in the back of her neck. He was about to reach out, and the water in the glass started to lift up over the edge of the glass.<br/><br/>Vexa's eyes might have well have been closed. She was glancing at the magnificence above her, the awesome scope of this room never lost its shock value. When Basil shouted in her direction, she reacted quickly with the most polite face she could muster. Her eyes got slimmer though, it was an unnatural motion for her. So, her eyebrows raised too, and she ended up looking like she was happily staring into the sun. ""What?"" Her voice had gotten softer since last year, as if her vocal chords had had more time to get comfortable in her throat. ""I'm not really doing anything, right now."" Her accent sounded like a British born girl who had spent<em>far</em>too much time in the eastern fields of France.<br/><br/>Then she realized what Basil was talking about, the glass of water.<br/><br/>With her sudden realization, the cup lifted into the air quickly and spin like the drill of a dentists tool. six ounces of water spiraled out onto nearly the entire Hufflepuff table, as well as two chairs at Slytherin's corner.<br/><br/>It was hardly enough to bother a cat, let alone a person with heavy clothing on, and the water was spread so that each splash turned into a mist upon impact. It was like a fresh breathe of air. Some of it even landed on Vexa's face.<br/><br/>Her eyes shot up with the glass and she opened them in absolute hysteric embarrassment. ""oh no."" She whispered putting her hands to her lips. Her heart beat was picking up, and she was starting to feel asthmatic, 'good thing I'm sitting. I still can't breathe. should I put my hands above head?' She almost lifted her arms. Instead she just parted her fingers. She didn't look around the table, she didn't want to look at anyone yet.<br/><br/>Then, her head didn't move, but her eyes spun over to Basil.

Mori enjoyed being bigger and tougher, but good heavens, why would anyone want to mess with his fabulous hair?<br/><br/>It was just as the dynamic duo were thinking these things, water went splashing around. And while Al barely paid attention to it, Mori became angry. It was not enough to muss up his beauteous fur, but somebody has clearly disrespected him, and he does not like that. How do others dare to be so insolent in his majestic presence? Clearly, he will have to put the Fear of Mori into them, so thinks the feline.<br/><br/>Mori looks around the table, but most people seemed shocked as well. The one girl that really stood out of place--and of course, it had to be a girl! They were always troublemakers-- was the one who seemed to be casting suspicions on a boy. Mori stared between the two, uncertain of which it was, but that just means he will have to scare them both at some time.<br/><br/>Vexa, for now, by virtue of being a female and Mori being something of a misogynist, is getting the Evil Glare from Mori. Like the cat wanted to do nothing more than pounce on her, and tear out her throat with his fangs.

Alright, maybe his voice was not that horrific but the pompous attitude made his presence nearly unbearable. She was not exactly sure how Charlize felt about her treatment to Richard but it must not have bothered her too much since she did not back off their need to speak after the feast. Jamie merely nodded her head at the girl’s expression of gratitude before reaching to take a small sip of her wine. Much, much better than juice. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the girl head over to talk with Gustav, who looked like he would rather be hanged and burned rather than sit at the table. She could not blame him.

She promised herself to keep an eye on the two throughout the year because certainly this way boredom will surely be a thing of the past at Hogwarts. Not that it ever happened at this school with everything going on in classes and clubs…speaking of which.<br/><br/>Now that Jamie declared her desire to take a walk before each of them will have to go to their rooms, Charlize was standing next to Gustav, Daria and Xavril, the last two being already part of the Dueling Club. Having someone like Gustav with knowledge of the Dark Arts – as he claimed and he certainly didn’t look like one to be bragging without reason – to join the team might prove to be a very good idea indeed. But then, how to tell him about the club? Certainly not out loud while the teachers and other students were around…asking Xavril for help wasn’t very pragmatic from Charlize’s point of view and Daria wasn’t exactly a subtle person. So it had to be her after all…but asking him to join her later like she did with Jamie would sound…strange.<br/><br/>“You had Dark Arts as a class? “ she asked as neutral as possible.. “Unfortunately it’s forbidden here to even speak of it…more or less officially. Though, what if I tell you that there might be a way to put that knowledge of yours into good use?”<br/><br/>Her amber eyes held his gaze just to show her honesty. Charlize was sure Daria heard it too and hoped she would get the main idea and not spill the beans like she was tempted to do at times.<br/><br/>“Of course Combat Quidditch might work as an idea as well..” she replied to the girl “…yet I think the game is already too dangerous as it is.” Basil wouldn’t agree with her, she thought and then her imagination quickly drifted to Summerby, already seeing him hurt and asking for her help to tend the wounds.<br/><br/>Xavril’s little joke caused her cheeks to fluster..for no apparent reason. She knew that if she’d actually muster the courage to speak to him, Xavril wouldn’t seem like such a bad company..but even in his human form he held the behaviour (and manners) of his other side, so that might prove a bit tricky.

Surely Danner and the rest of the 4th year students – heck, even some of his class mates – were going through that teenage angst and other specific tendencies, having the need to express it openly or not to others, but Danner had been different to begin with. Every pore of his skin seemed imbued with lust, for lack of a better word. At times even Basil wondered about Danner’s preferences (though to others it was crystal clear), but that was only because he was clueless like that and often prefered not to notice some things.<br/><br/>“Well, mine was a bit different” he said not changing the topic. “Half of the time I still had no idea if I was dreaming or not, especially when the food kept appearing like that on the tables. “ He gave a short laugh, a clear sign that he wanted to be more sociable this year.<br/><br/>“What about you Alphonse? Did you have Mori with you on the first day?”  he asked unaware of what went on in Al’s mind at the moment and failing to take a hint as always. Basil wasn’t versed in body language and even the basic of facial expressions meant nothing to him unless someone would point their mood to him verbally or otherwise more directly.<br/>As he said that, the young man glanced at Vexa, wanting to know if the ‘danger’ was over and if it was alright to bring her into the conversation once more.<br/>"

He knows how they communicate, and how to communicate to them.<br/><br/>Thankfully, during those precious few seconds where Al is nervously trying to figure out what to say, Danner runs interception, earning a smile of appreciation from the bearded, stocky student.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Mori perked up when he heard his name, and put his paws up on the table, and jutted his head upwards, high and prideful. When Danner seemed to ask for confirmation about Mori being a total badass, the cat purrs; but while most won't hear that, the feline makes another sound.

Their's a good reason Charlize is wary of this creature!<br/><br/>As Danner might recall from Al's stories, it involved threatening glares, flashing off his teeth which were specifically designed, by nature, to rip and tear into flesh, and the showing off of the wickedly sharp, talon-esque claws that looked like they'd be good for gouging out eyes or other horrible, eviscerating injuries, as well as the occasional, well-timed, perfectly executed, echoing growl that seemed to say<em>if you so much as misstep around me, I will gut you like a fish. </em><br/><br/>And yet, Mori has yet to do more than occasionally bat at someone--no claws out-- or to hiss and growl, when they get too close to him, or too close to The Master's things, which should never, ever be touched by another filthy human being.<br/><br/>Danner himself has probably been the recipient of one or more of Mori's battings or warning growls. A modestly painful thing, but never something that caused injury; Mori, after all, was under strict orders not to do so, unless the person in question was posing a genuine physical threat. And Mori, as Al will tell you, is loyal enough to put dogs to shame."

That might not turn out favorably for you.""</strong>Jamie did not particular care that the girl had been requested to give a tour. The hufflepuff could do as she pleased after their conversation. Hazel eyes shifted Xavril to see if he intended to join her. After waiting for a second or two for both of  them, she began to make her way through the aisle created by the table towards the Great Hall door. No waves were given to anyone nor parting smiles. She would likely see them in the commons, classrooms, or in the corridors."

The sound of Xavril’s voice confirmed his being nearby, and she nearly smiled at his comment on their new housemate. She was not exactly sure what to think of Gustav either, but she was not about to comment on it. He would have to prove his usefulness. Right now, all she knew was that he was not an aggravating pain in the ass like some people in Hogwarts.<strong>“I always wondered why we don’t get to pick our own roommates,”</strong>she said with a hint of thoughtfulness. For some reason, the name of her own roommate escaped her but the question would be answered soon enough when she retreated to her dorm later in the night. It did not surprise her when Gustav managed to overhear Xavril’s comment since he was not exactly whispering his current dislike of the other boy.<br/><br/>His comment on the holster caused her to shrug her shoulders.<strong>“There are other ways to ensure your wand is easily reached.”</strong>His constant talking of Durmstang was truly becoming annoying, and she could not help but wonder why he decided to transfer if he was so infatuated with their way of things from wands to classes. It was tempting to probe his mind, but she did not to over exhaust her hidden talent. Very calmly, Jamie slid herself in between Gustav and Xavril. She knew exactly what was happening between the two males. Both held the temperament of a snappish dog, one wanting to force themselves over the other. Hopefully they would figure out some way to get along enough without killing each other by the night’s end.<strong>“Actually, I asked Charlize what she planned on showing you so maybe your comment should be directed to me, and I asked because I wanted to know.” </strong><br/><br/>She nodded her head when Xavril was smart enough to get the password for them.<strong>“I completely forgot about that. I guess it’s a good thing you came along.”</strong>Her emerald eyes openly raked over him for a moment but then she was reminded of his habits at the table a few moments ago and halted her thoughts. Jamie was more than ready to head off but then the males seemed to butt heads again, and she withheld her desire to grown. At that moment, an interesting tidbit of information was revealed. Gustav was Slytherin Prefect. She could have cringed since he was the worst and most unfair possible choice for the job. His loyalty to Slytherin, or lack thereof, was directly stated in front of the Hufflepuff. The only evidence of her house in him was the way he revealed the information. She merely raised an eyebrow since there were many ways to skin a rabbit, and thus many ways to avoid prefect's ""rules"" in their houses. Sneakiness and cunning. Traits that would be needed regardless of their prefect. Hoping to distract Xavril from going wolf man on the prefect, she pulled at his arm to head in the opposite direction. Once they were a suitable distance away from Charlize and Gustav, she decided to ask him a question before disentangling her touch from her arm.<strong>""So...what's going on with you and the puff?""</strong>"

Xavril<em>didn’t</em>take crap from no one. No wonder he and Jamie were getting along so neatly. But so did Gustav and mentally she had to congratulate him for his choice of words, although not for his own threat of taking points from the Slytherin House. Getting loathed by your own housemates from the first day wasn’t a wise decision, either Gustav was insane or he had some major skills backing him up. Truth be told, she never thought that excellent magic abilities could ever make up for the loss of friends, but then again he managed to earn the Prefect title without even attending Hogwarts before.<br/><br/>Charlize looked him up and down while he was still turned towards Xavril as if asking “Who are you?” and suddenly being left alone with him didn’t seem like such a bright idea anymore. Then Gustav addressed her and his voice seemed different than before so she supposed once more that there really isn’t anything to fear.<br/><br/>Xavril acknowledged her choice for the tour, making Charlize to show him her smile, although any words she might want to say in that moment got stuck in her throat. She knew that he wasn’t a bad person and Heaven forbid if she’d ever judge a book by its cover, but Xavril’s looks were telling one thing only: “danger”. Both his scars and usual choice of clothing reminded Charlize of violent gang members. Not to mention his different eye colors.  Sure she heard others speak of him with good words.. Xavril often helped others with homework and usually anything they might ask of him (whenever they found the courage to do so), but he wasn’t in her House  so these could very well be just speculations.<br/><br/>While she imagined him being part of a biker gang, Gustav seemed more and more like a mafia boss. The thought of them going at eacthother’s throats in the common room like in a ‘30’s movie made her to laugh, a giggle which she surpressed instantly. It really wasn’t fitting.<br/><br/>Then Jamie did the smartest thing anyone could do at the moment and pulled Xavril after her, leaving the two alone. Or not quite.<br/>“Daria!” Charlize said not hiding her surprise.  Should she ask her to join them?  Raising her eyes to meet  Gustav’s features she dismissed the thought immediately. He never actually said anything against her, but the way he looked at the girl, as if stares could kill, told Charlize to get him away from Daria as fast as possible.<br/><br/>“I’ll see you tomorrow in class. If you do come across Serena tell her to look at the room pairings for me.” She was really interested to know with whom she’ll end up with this year.<br/><br/>“Well, as you might already know, we’re in the Entrance Hall right now…” she said taking a few steps forward, beginning her tour of the Ground Floor. “…this hallway leads to the Hufflepuff common room” she said and Gustav could hear that proud tone again “….and if you studied a bit of Hogwarts history you might already know that it was founded by Helga Hufflepuff, who unlike the other founders, she accepted every student under her wing, regradless of skill, ambition or…intelligence. You might say she’s the pioneer for human rights in the wizarding world. Now hufflepuffs..”  she said taking a quick glance at Gustav while he was gazing at the skillfully made tapestries on the walls   ” ...are actually the most kind, loyal and hardworking students of this school and it seems you really have to be molded like this in order to enter this house. Though I’m still not sure why we have a badger as a symbol.”<br/><br/>As they passed by the kitchens, Charlize pointed the entrance with another remark.<br/><br/>“Helga Hufflepuff  is famed for her cooking and food-related charms and most of the feasts at Hogwarts are based on her recipes. She was also the one to arrange for house-elves to work in the kitchens. Unlike the rest of the world, every house-elf had been treated nice here at Hogwarts, even before Harry Potter and Hermione Granger changed their world.”<br/><br/>The next entrance was actually a hallway leading downstairs, to the basements. A foul stench came from there, but most of the students had already gotten used to it.<br/><br/>“Uhmm..this is the entrance to the dungeons. You might already know of it, it’s where the Slytherin common room and dormitories are located..as well as the Potions classroom.” She gazed into the dark abyss thinking that she’ll have to go there for Potions. It was the first year she chose to attend that class and she did only because Basil asked her to. He thought that she might learn something useful, seeing how bad she was with other activities in general.<br/><br/>“Dou you have Houses at Durmstrang?” she asked realizing that for the most part she had done all the talking.<br/>"

""I believe the Badger would be chosen, because they are a highly industrious creature.  They are also very loyal, and vicious when backed into a corner. I also imagine the animal may have been chosen to represent Helga herself, as a Badger can be very kind hearted to its kin.  But, if you threaten a baby badger, you had better have a medi-witch on standby.""<br/><br/>Though his original idea of the Hufflepuffs were that they were sort of rejects--an idea he formed when he had first been shown the school by the Headmistress-- he did note that Charlize seemed to exist as either an exception to the idea, or as proof against it. He could not be sure yet.<br/><br/>As they moved along, they came to the entrance to the dungeons, and he makes a nod of his head. ""Indeed.  I imagine most of the non-Slytherin students are not particularly fond of the dungeons?"" Judging on the way she reacted; it was either because of some personal aversion, or a more widely distributed aversion. He wasn't sure which, and so he inquired, rather than assumed.<br/><br/>He would give her time to answer the question, then answer her own. ""Yes, four Houses, just like here. The House of Atticus is the oldest one, dating back to the founder of Durmstrang. It's very difficult to be sorted into it, as only the most skilled and intelligent wizards are permitted to bear the House markings.  House Atticus prides itself on cunning, bravery, and mastery of the Dark Arts. The House Emblem is a pitch-black Thestril on a dark green background. House Atticus likes to play the other Houses against each other in the Feud.""<br/><br/>""The Concinne House was added later on, during the Renaissance, by a line of half and pure blood witches and wizards that were apart of the Muggle aristocracy of the time. Inner beauty, financial prowess, and a strong clannish personality are the key features of that House. It's symbol is a white tiger on a red background. They strongly oppose the Liberalis.""<br/><br/>""Liberalis House has a lot in common with the Ravenclaw's. They value intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, and maturity above all other things. Pompous at times, and with far more curiosity than can be good for a person to have. Purple and grey are their colors, and the house's mascot is a chimpanzee. Strange, considering they're not native to Bulgaria. When it comes to the Feud, they feel the same way about the Concinne as they do to them.""<br/><br/>""Terpsichora House is the newest one around. They've only been a part of the school for the past two centuries. The founder of the House was an<em>artiste, </em>larger than life, and flamboyant and eccentric to the point of being accused of being mad.  Consequently, you see a lot of the creative types in it. Get a Terpsichora and a Liberalis together, and you'll have something breath-takingly bizarre and beautiful. Get a Concinne involved, and it'll be gold-plated. Get an Atticus involved, and it will probably be a 'cursed' item. Anywho; their colors are periwinkle and 'sunshine', that is yellow, and their mascot is a platypus. Which is fitting. They generally try to avoid the Feud.""<br/><br/>""Now, I mentioned a Feud, and I can see by your look, you haven't a clue what that is.

Xavril questioned with a curious look,  ""I don't know that anything is going on between us.  She seems to get nervous around me and even avoids me on occasion, which is fine, I mean shes a fourth year.""  Xavril walked on thinking for a moment.  ""I don't know, there was a girl at one of my fathers schools much like Charlize and she was fascinated yet scared by my eyes.  She use to tease me and I'd chase her around the dojo.  God I must have been about eight, she was maybe four or five.""  Xavril laughs, ""You know I don't think I've told anyone this before but I think that's why I tease Charlize so much.

He didn’t know her until now and with the Slytherins being ..well…Slytherins…he had no idea that this was just common courtesy. Maybe a bit over the top, but not for her.  If there were a welcoming committee at Hogwarts, she would probably direct it.<br/><br/>“I thought you deserve one” she said smiling. “Your collegues aren’t renown for their social skills, but this doesn’t mean they’re bad people.

Obiously, most of the students were leaving the Great Hall, heading for the common rooms.<br/><br/>“I think we should go back or else you might end up sleeping in the corridors tonight.

She turned to face the grand staircase once more, waiting for him to approve. It seemed rude not to take into account his proposals, if he had any.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Charlie Mullins and Serena met up for a little “A&Q” of what they did over the summer. They came across Sarah Howls who was waiting outside the Great Hall for Charlize, seemingly a bit confused by the passing of Hufflepuff students and her not being amongst them.<br/><br/>“If you’re looking for Charlize she went off with the transfer student” Serena told her, obviously she was the only one paying attention at what happened at the Slytherin’s table. Charlie was baffled, why would Charlize do that? Hasn’t she heard the rumors? Even his own mates had a tooth to pick with him.<br/><br/>“Maybe we should go look for her” he suggested, but Serena gave him the cold shoulder in her natural way.<br/>“I think she can pretty much take care of herself. Don’t you have a password to get, by the way?” she said pointing at a group of Ravenclaws who were following Melinda Bagwell. Since he knew that getting her to say the password twice would be rather difficult, Charlie rushed over to them, not wanting to have to beg for entrance later on.<br/><br/>“So what’s with you and Summerby?” Serena asked her friend without any other introduction. “Are you seeing eachother?”<br/>"

That was good to hear and while he spoke about Jamie, she nodded. Though it wasn’t nice of him to judge Xavril and Daria like that, from all of the Slytherins, they seemed the friendliest to Charlize.<br/><br/>The more Gustav related facts about Durmstrang, the more she got to know him a little better. Or so she thought and she didn’t rush to that conclusion based on just those facts. They might tell her a bit about why he kept mostly to himself, but it did tell her nothing about his personality and likings per se. What were his goals in life? What did he like to do in his spare time? Did he enjoy studying as little or more than she did?<br/><br/>The questions running around in her already filled-with-facts-about-others mind were surprising to Charlize herself. She really wanted to get to know Gustav better and not just because he shared so little..well, maybe that was playing a huge role in it…but he had this…novelty.<em>Yes, Charlize, it’s the ‘novelty’ about him that you like so much.</em>she concluded and went down the stairs with the same ease she went upwards before.<br/><br/>“No friendships, just alliances.” She replied remembering the general idea of his former House’s motto, but not the exact words. How could she forget it, it baffled her from the first time. Then she did something truly daring.<br/><br/>“I’ll make sure that motto changes for you this year, Gustav.” She said, but not go into details. “My friends don’t really have a reason to worry for me, now do they?” she asked a rhetorical question, half of the answer he already gave away. And then there was his laugh…the first time she heard it and now she knew why he laughed so rarely. Should she take it as a compliment or a signal to never come near him again?<br/><br/>“Good thing I watch my manners, then.” She smiled looking right at him, without hesitation this time. He really had interesting features, despite his bone-chilling laughter.<br/>Another voice came through the wall and soon enough, so did its master. Fat Friar, the most religious and forgiving ghost she knew from Hogwarts, had greeted them.<br/><br/>“Nice to see you again, Friar.” She said and almost offered him a hug, but then she remembered that would be not only impossible, but very silly at the same time. She didn’t get to tell him about Gustav not being into Hufflepuff before the ghost introduced himself to Gustav. He always said his name is “Fat Friar” and Charlize asked him once about his real name to which the ghost simply replied that he doesn’t remember it and then he laughed for about ten minutes about it.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Basil Brancoveanu<br/><strong>House/Year: </strong>Hufflepuff/6th<br/><strong>Bloodtype:</strong>Muggleborn<br/><strong>Location: </strong>Hufflepuff common room<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Danner and Alphonse<br/><br/>Basil made sure to remember the knock and though about trying it again once he was alone to make sure he got it right.  He couldn’t help but frown a bit at Danner’s neglingence, the boy really needed some basic soldier etiquette training from Basil’s point of view.<br/><br/>While Alphonse and his pet made their way in, Basil once again waited for Mori to find his place before going over to his room, leaving everyone at their own business for a couple of minutes. He then returned with a mangy looking cat, who looked far better than when Basil first found it. “There ya, go Jerry” he said and took out a piece of chicken from his pocket.  When it came to pets, Basil didn’t think they belong at the table. The tomcat was still a kitten really, old enough to eat dry food, but young enough to still act playful most of the time.  The two were making such an unbelievable image together, probably that’s why Basil refrained from showing him to other students except for his Housemates.<br/>Thankfully Danner brough Quidditch up, he wasn’t sure how to tell them that he was assigned Captain this year.<br/><br/>“We’re going to win.” He said simply and everyone listening to him could almost<em>hear</em>his faith booming from him. There was much to be said about Basil’s strange shyness, but nothing when it came to his force of will.<br/><br/>“John might tell you more about it, he just told me I’m Captain this year.” And again, for the first time that night, Basil gave a wide smile.<br/>“How come neither of you doesn’t play Quidditch?” he asked both Danner and Al at the same time, thinking that since this year was going to be all about changes, might as well start and get to know them a little better.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Serena Altwood<br/><strong>House/Year: </strong>Hufflepuff/4th<br/><strong>Bloodtype: </strong>Pureblood<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Great Hall<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Sarah Howls, Basil, Danner<br/><br/>“I see.” She said and after a little while she continued “I think Charlize might have a thing for him.” Well, she was pretty sure she did, but Serena wasn’t the kind to talk about others so freely, always trying to avoid gossip and everything related to it “If anything<span class=""bbc_u"">does</span>happen between the two of you, just make sure she finds out first.”<br/><br/>With that, Serena bid her good night, with the promise to talk again tomorrow while Charlize was present. Once in the common room, she checked the announcement board and a frown was the only expression on her face. She did end up with Charlize, unlike last year. Now they were roommates with Vexa as well.<br/>“Hey, Basil” she said maliciously “you got Danner!”<br/>"

Trying the secret knock from last year, an unfruitful attempt as it turned out to be,  she came this close in being soaked to the bone in vinegar by the Hufflepuff trap.<br/>“Maybe you ought to wait for your Prefect, Charlize dear.” The kind lady in the portrait said.

Stepping inside Madison took in a breath with his eyes widening in wonder... THIS was Obelisk? It looked so luxurious that words couldn't describe it. He could see why it could be so coveted because it looked like princes and royalty lived here and not top ranking duelists. It looked as though no expense was too much and no luxury was out of reach here. It looked like an absolute heaven. He smiled from ear to ear in pure delight and then looked back to see how Percy was holding up but for him Madison was completely enthralled."

It was better than he had thought, and he just knew there had to be a catch; there had to be more than just winning two duels.<br/><br/>Despite his feelings, Percy walked briskly to the lounge, just to get a better look. As he gazed at the wall that held the stone tablet, though, he soon heard a heavy sigh behind him, and it didn't sound like a pleasant one. As he turned around, he saw a student that had his hand over his chin, looking like he was pondering about an unpleasant situation with his brain underneath his blonde head, with his hair cut short as it fell over the side of his head. His blue suit matched the walls, but the white buttons helped him from entirely blending in. Staring at Percy, then Madison, he let out another heavy sigh, before he spoke.<br/><hr/><br/><strong>Regalus Regal</strong><br/><br/>""How very coarse,"" the student spoke in his thick British accent. ""It would appear that two people from the petty Slifer dormitory have found their way into this prestigious establishment. How I do tire of this open campus policy; it ruins the status of the place that calls Regalus Regal home."" He put a lot of emphasis on his own name, as if to imply that the two couldn't understand he was talking about himself. ""Perhaps I should ask one of the servants to escort you away, as you obviously have no right to be here...""<br/><br/>Percy just flashed the rude boy a look of irritation. ""We do have a right,"" he said with firm assertion to his voice. ""We won our duels, and so we're dorming here.""<br/><br/>Regalus then let out a snobby laugh, shaking his head. ""Oh, you think that gives peasants a right to stay in this dormitory? How quaint. I do suggest that you two go to that excuse of a living space this island calls Slifer Red before you even attempt to stake a claim that you belong in the presence of the prestigious and wealthy."""

But what good are the strongest cards if you don't have the strength as a duelist to start with? Madison just stood there blinking a few times before walking over to Percy when he does start talking back at Regalus. Madison shook his head at Regalus and smiled making a gesture like he's holding tea and pretends to take a sip. He would smile at him and gives a shrug then points to the academy's dueling arena's itself trying to indicate that it's dueling skills that matters and not wealth. Of course since Madison was quite mute he couldn't very well explain this in words so it might come off as either extremely arrogant or something to ridicule. Either way Madison had heard the whole gag of being mute."

He'd have to give an ultimatum in order to force Regalus to make a sadistic choice between something dangerous or something imminent. He plays his second Strength of Prophecy and sends the first Spellbook of Secrets from last turn into his deck to increase her power and level. Looking over his hand he only had two other cards in hand. He needed to play correctly so that he'd get the most life points out of this. And put Puddingcess into a more defensive mindset. He then plays his second Spellbook of Secrets from his hand so he could pull the Spellbook of Power into his hand once again. He plays it and then powers his monster up to 3000 once more. He narrowed his eyes and engages battle with the Mewling since that is one the target with the lowest life points and two without the deadly effect.

""Well, since Mewfeuille is going to be shuffled into the deck, I get to grab a Madolche Ticket again, but there's a surprise,"" Regalus said with a snobby grin. ""See, Puddingcess is a fairy-type Madolche, and as such, she can give me a special Ticket that lets me special summon the Madolche monster, instead of just adding it to my hand.

""Now, Madolche Puddingcess will teach your Strength of Prophecy a lesson, then the rest of my Madolche will attack you directly.""

With a giant fan made of stiff, turtle chocolate, Puddingcess hit Strength right in the forehead with her 2300 ATK, then with the extra power from the Chateau, the other Madolche monsters hit Madison directly for 4500, making the entire move a total loss of 4800 LP.<br/><br/>""And that's not the end of it,"" Regalus announced, smirking deviously.

First he plays one card face down and then play the Charioteer of Prophecy (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120928190633/yugioh/images/b/b3/CharioteerofProphecy-REDU-EN-C-UE.png) in attack mode then playing the Spellbook of Secrets to fetch his Spellbook Tower which he then promptly plays, which will end his turn. All he could do now is wait for his opponent to draw his card and make a move.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>Turn: 1</strong><br/><br/><strong>LP:</strong> 8000/8000<strong><br/>Hand</strong>: 3<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Graveyard: 0</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><tt class=""bbc_tt"">12) Spellbook of Scerets<br/></tt> </div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Removed from Game: 0</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><tt class=""bbc_tt""><br/></tt></div></div><br/><strong>Field:</strong> 1) Spellbook Tower of Prophecy<br/><br/><strong>Monsters:</strong><br/>[Empty Slot] [Empty Slot] [Charioteer of Prophecy (ATK: 1800)] [Empty Slot] [Empty Slot]<br/><br/><strong>Magic/Traps:</strong><br/>[Empty Slot] [Empty Slot] [Set Card] [Empty Slot] [Empty Slot]</div>"

He had another monster and another Spellbook but nothing else that he could truly use it on. First what he does is Summon another monster to the field in attack mode which was Magical Exemplar (http://www.google.com/imgres?q=magical+exemplar&num=10&hl=en&biw=1100&bih=527&tbm=isch&tbnid=kRIJNhApxE9NQM:&imgrefurl=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Magical_Exemplar&docid=i4PEvi8C2s678M&imgurl=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100725061521/yugioh/images/3/3f/MagicalExemplarSDSC-EN-C-1E.png&w=400&h=582&ei=dQSKUKqAD8-30AH_jICwDA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=96&vpy=117&dur=1480&hovh=271&hovw=186&tx=108&ty=152&sig=113856258736261249263&sqi=2&page=1&tbnh=146&tbnw=97&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:68)<br/><br/>This would allow him to play his face down card the Spellbook of Power. Madison had played a bluff but also recalled that the Spellbook of Wisdom for now did nothing for him in this duel. No way to use it so it might as well remain in his hand and help him. This empowers his Exemplar to 2700 ATK. Yes the Maldoche would go back into the hand instead of the deck but he had no other option. It felt like the same result was imminent with how things were currently going despite field supremacy. However the truth was he did have another move to make. The destruction of the monster allowed him to use the second effect of his Spellbook to bring out the Spellbook of Secrets and allows him to search for... A Spellbook of Secrets?

He might be able to do something with that to get rid of that annoying eye sore of a spell card. He would think for a moment and figures that he waits too long he's going to get swarmed with zero monsters on the field. He needs to establish field advantage here and now. Make him put on the defensive so he can take him down by using his own tactics on him. If he had another monster it could do the trick but...<br/><br/>No! Percy was looking right at him with worry and he wasn't going to just give in no matter what happens. He'll fight and continue on. Either Regalus was going to make a mistake or let that pride cost him the match. To be safe however he plays the effect of his exemplar, an effect that when activated allows Madison to Special Summon from his hand or Graveyard by removing counters equal to the monsters level. He chooses his Charioteer of Prophecy in his graveyard reviving him in attack mode.<br/><br/>Then he narrows his eyes and then plays another card the Mystical Space Typhoon and he targets the Madolche Ticket in order to get rid of it so he can no longer get monsters into his hand. However he notices the Madolche Mansion's effect, that too would send every Madolche monster back to his hand. He cannot risk that happening. No choice he'd have to play the second field card in his hand. Again the tower rises to destroy the mansion however this time there were no cards that could bring back the Madolche's and as such he has what he needs to seize an immediate field advantage. Four more counters on his Exemplar to be exact. Next thing he does is two fold. First he plays his Spellbook of Secrets and grabs his Spellbook of Power using it on his own Exemplar powering her up enough to get to 2700 ATK.<br/><br/>Engaging in Battle, Madison attacks the Chevalier with the Exemplar since he cannot attack another card. And it goes into the deck instead of the hand since theres no other cards to send him to the field or into the hand again. Next thing he does is destroy the Mewfille which goes right back into the deck. That puts him with at the very least one monster on the field that could possibly attack and destroy one of his monsters or stall it. All he had to do now was fish out his final Spellbook of Secrets and that was it. It was up in fate's hands now and he had to trust his deck could keep going for just a bit more.

So the duel would have to be a no contest since time was effectively up. The facility were going along to shoo any whom were not yet situated or lost on so they could be punctual for the Feast. So however one could look at it either way someone dodged a bullet. Madison looked dejected figuring that he was doing much much better in the Third Match. The Butler for Regalus ushers him on since it wouldn't do for him to be late.<br/><br/>Madison watched them leave with the draw having to be accepted and he gave a shrug of his shoulders revealing his hand to Percy. In it was the following cards, Magical Exemplar, Spellbook of Secrets and Dark Hole. He drew the next card and just showed it to Percy, revealing it as Effect Veiler. He just smiled and felt good about that. Least they were still in Obelisk and he got some good experience.Putting his cards back in the deck holder he would then gesture that they should get going and find their dorms. Heading onwards Madison figured he'd have some things to do before something else occurred to try and forcibly eject them from the dorm they got into rightly."

Gustav is going to be an unknown.<br/><br/>For other houses: He'd know Vexa being the sister of his team mate.  He's probably wary/suspicious of Alphonse being he's ""got"" Mori.  Cat vs. dog argument.  Having watched Danner's display with the three headed dog first year he's probably very wary of him as to avoid being seen the same way.  Basil would be a respected opponent but not knowing about the wolf attack probably wouldn't be more then that.  Xavril would probably have come into contact with Charlize while hang around with Daria.  He would find her attractive and intriguing and certainly enjoy antagonizing her when she's trying to avidly avoid him.<br/><br/>NPC's:  Definitly knows Kenneth Goyle.  He would see him as the pinicle opponent, the day Xavril beats him will be a great day indeed.  Obviously familiar with Richard Summerby from Quidditch.<br/><br/>Clubs: Probably not much interested in Debate club.  Very much involved with Dueling club.  Would have studied Hogwarts extensively, probably still does.  Quidditch player, but probably watches the games he isnt playing to scout other teams techniques.  Absolute Study Junkie,  would spend most free time studying.  A bit of a perfectionist he needs to master every skill in every book he reads or he feels he's wasting his time at Hogwarts."

Unlike some people, she does not mind his scars since she knows how it feels to be discriminated against in a multiple of settings with within and outside of Hogwarts. There might be times when Jamie might have him assist her with classroom projects since she sometimes struggles with certain courses.<br/><br/>Danner Higginbotham (Hufflepuff 6th year): Jamie is not really sure what to think of Danner most of the time. There are times when she fells as though he might break a bone if the wind blew too hard. Regardless she has noticed his apparent skills in Care of Magical Creatures though it holds little interest to her since she is not fond of any animal other than her cat.<br/><br/>Daria Dippet (Slytherin 4th year): Daria is often times too active for Jamie.

She follows her mistresses orders to the <br/>letter, perhaps to a fault. She tends to take most things <br/>at face value and has zero talent at playing tricks or <br/>subterfuge.  When something must be said, she is blunt and<br/>to the point.  <br/>   She believes her mistress is a good person, and that<br/>all people are good in their own way.  Her ""unfortunate <br/>condition"" is something to be pitied rather than hunted.<br/>Typically she will only resort to violence if her mistress<br/>is in danger, and even then it would need to be a dire <br/>situation.  <br/>   She defends the mistress with her life.      <br/>    <br/>   When things get rough, she steals a bottle from the<br/>wine cellar.  She finds her weakness even more immensely <br/>embarrassing, to say nothing of her demeanor while drunk.<br/>Therefore, she rarely lets anyone see her during these <br/>occasions.  <br/><br/><br/>Favor: 4<br/>Spirit: 20  <br/><br/>-={Statistics}=-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>         Base:   Type:   Comp:   Roll:<br/>Athletics   4   3       -   +1   8<br/>Affection   3   2       -   +1   6<br/>Skill      3       2       +1   -   4<br/>Cunning      1       2       -1   -   4<br/>Luck      4       4      -   -   10<br/>Will       3       2       -   +1   6<br/><br/>-={Type and Qualities}=---------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Maid Type: Cool (4), Pure(3)<br/>   Skill +1<br/>   Cunning -1<br/><br/>Attributes:<br/>   Pure<br/>   Maidenly<br/>   Clean <br/>   Fragile<br/>   Composed<br/>   Expressionless<br/>   Unflappable<br/>   Doll-like<br/><br/>Special Qualities:<br/>   Shy (2,3)<br/>   Injury (5,3)<br/>      Bandages (5)<br/>   <br/>Maid Roots: <br/>   Unrequited Love (3,6)<br/><br/>Stress Explosion:<br/>   Alcohol/Drugs (1,2)<br/><br/>Maid Weapon: <br/>   Katana (5,4)<br/><br/>Maid Power: <br/>   Karma (1) (Luck)<br/><br/>Trauma:<br/>   Mistreated by Parents (3,1)<br/><br/>Complexes<br/>   Hair/Eye Color (3,1)<br/>   No Independence (2,1)</tt></div></div><br/><br/>....Well I should have looked here first, apparently, sigh.<br/><br/>Oh well, she's a team player and can work on getting the others roused before moving to her own duties."

I'm really trying to give Ashton a good characterization for that. ERP comes secondary to such.<br/><br/>However, I did mention it in the original discussion thread, and i'll discuss it here as well. I am a sucker for romance in games, and in fire emblem it seems a natural thing to include with supports and all. And since it fits the support system, I wanted to ask... Would any female characters be interested in discussing such, or anyone who would be making a spare female character in the future? Its not necessary and I certainly won't force it on anyone - But I'm not exactly gonna be having Ashton be in many NC scenes if I can help it - So naturally i'd prefer consensual, and more of a long term romance would go well for that. Thats only if people are interested, otherwise... I guess i'll see what sorta erotic venues are open otherwise. :p"

While in the games you do control everyone and have to make that choice, you're not really 'competing' with anyone. Here, there are quite a few players - And at the moment, we're all only controlling one character. So while in the game i'd feel its okay to have a level 3 soldier and a level 5 myrmidon in the same group, I feel it might bea bit lame for a player to always feel under leveled compared to others. Plus I do feel for other characters - Mysterica sacrificed combat and XP to talk to Ashton and I highly appreciate she did that, so I feel it would be a little but of a bummer if she didn't really get anything for such. And she's not the only PC who got 0 XP this combat. I wouldn't mind a level discrepancy on average (That is, some characters being a level higher then others), but to me the game shouldn't always be only rewarding tactics and dicussing killing blow. Since this is a player/GM RPG, I do feel RP and everything that it entails should see some reward. My .02 anyway."

The low luck isn't as big a problem, since you're a ranged character, and half the enemies you hit won't generally hit you back and risk a crit. Low res is mildly dangerous, combined with the low speed. Keep a tank in front of you like Elysia's knight and you'll be fine I think.<br/><br/>The high defense is nice though, just in case a melee character gets up to you.

Naturally, she's set out on a personal vendetta for answers and revenge. Essentially, the typical disenfranchized noble story that Fire Emblem so loves, ala Count of Monty Cristo or DUNE. She's also a pegasus knight, but a different flavor than Nanami, more of a 'Wing Commander' than a scout, as her country had heavily relied on air and naval power in a fashion that took advantage of their native terrain. I imagine a lot of pirates and fliers.<br/><br/>Visually, she's the red ponytailed warrior princess on a pretty pony, wearing the universally cute Peg Knight uniform (In pink) that appears in every game.

It could work here too. Illestan's probably lone of them, as I fully expected her to come back, find her home in flames and go on a personal vendetta, with the whole ""I come back from mandatory service, and THIS is how you repay me?"" mindset. Probably on a fatalistic quest to kill as many, for lack of better term, 'red units' as possible until the party most likely talks her out of suicide-in-combat.<br/><br/>Oh come now, S+ Zettai Ryouki doesn't even have combat applications. Not yet, anyway... It's certainly a candidate for second promotion's personal skill. (For Silk; it refers to the size of the space between a girl's skirt and stockings, mostly tounge in cheek as one of the requirements for S rank is to be both redheaded and tsundere.)<br/><br/>Mh... Sword'sve never been used on pegasus knights in the past. Due to our inherant low strength, it's probably not advisable either. I sympathise with the sentiment, though. To be fair, more than any other class besides caviliers, they've historically been the most likely to work in groups. (The obligatory three sisters appear in like 4 games, after all)"

You have 330 points to divide between the eight, provided the following conditions are met:<br/><br/>1. 40 points minimum must be spent on HP<br/>2. 10 points minimum must be spent on all other core stats, with the exception of Strength and Magic. Depending on your class's style of combat, you can choose to put 0 in Strength or Magic (a Bandit with a Magic growth is not unheard of, but acceptably rare).<br/>3. No more than 70 points can be put into a stat, with the except of HP, which can have up to 100 points spent in it.<br/><br/>How you allocate the points you spend for Progression Rates is important. At each Level Up, you choose a certain number of core stats to go up by 1 point. The following rules apply to choosing which stats go up.<br/><br/>1. Roll a d100 for every stat that you have more than 0% Progression in. If you roll under or equal to your Progression Rate, that stat goes up by +1. Repeat until you've rolled for all your stats.<br/>2. A minimum of 2 Stats will go up per level. If you only manage to roll under or equal to 1 stat, the first of your class's Preferred Stats will go up. If you do not roll any of your stats, both of your class's Preferred Stats will go up.<br/>3. Once you've raised a stat to its maximum value for your character's class, it can no longer go up, and the points in its Progression Rate cannot be used for another stat. You do not have to roll for this stat until the maximum is raised (usually by promotion)<br/><br/>For every time your character promotes, you add another 5 points to your progression rate. They can be spent however you like, even if it would push a Progression Rate over its normal maximum (for<br/>instance, a Progression Rate higher than 70 for seven of the core stats, or a rate higher than 100 for HP)."

I should also point out that 330% is very, very strong as it is. Nino, for example, has 330%. Nino's often considered one of the better Est archetypes.

The first floor has a moderately-sized lounge area for the students to mingle in red recliner chairs, with a few small tables between a few of them.The color scheme for the area is a nice crimson red, which shows off the passion most students tend to show during their duels, despite the reason they came to reside there by having two straight losses. On one wall, a painting of the dorm's mascot, Slifer the Sky Dragon, is mounted for all to see.<br/><br/>A small dining area is also in the lounge, with a few fast food options to choose from, and a few places to sit for the students to enjoy their food. It's certainly not luxurious, but it's nice to have around for when the students need a quick bite to eat before their classes.<br/><br/>Two floor of rooms are above the first floor; the second floor for men, and the third floor for women. Each room is meant for three people at once, with enough room for three beds, a long desk, double windows that look out towards the sea, and a twin-stove. The beds are stacked in a triple bunk, with a ladder in the middle to scale it. A single reading lamp lies next to the desk, and a single light fixture hangs from the ceiling, emitting somewhat adequate light. Each floor has only one set of public restrooms, and behind the dorms is a co-ed bath house with a wall separating the girls' side from the boys', and a mixed bath in the middle for special occasions. Most students in the dorm are rather friendly and eager to help each other out, while some seem a bit more desperate for success than others."

TV's, helicopters, and sportscars were not necessities and therefore Mikhail grew up without them.<br/>It was a miracle that no one noticed Mikhail had a championship winning father, but it was inevitable. His father stopped dueling a year after Mikhail was born, the year mother died. That's when his father began to have heart troubles and started to prepare for the trip to Siberia.

J7 knew this. Hell, it was a commonly known fact in 2284- what a human being perceives as Time is merely a side effect in how a 3D projection of the 2D Info-Space of the grander N-Space lattice perceives it's true surroundings. When reality itself is a hologram of a shadow, things like Time just kind of happen. Which was fine really, who wants to try to process something with N spacial dimensions where N was the number of configurations in the 2D info-space in which all subatomic particles in the universe could be arranged? How many that was really was hard to say, but it was finite- that was important for how the machine worked.<br/><br/>Time Travel. Maybe it was impossible in normal 3-Space but in N-Space it was a simple matter of playing with a few name tags. Go to N-Space, imprint a new pattern into the 2D Info-Space, then reenter 3-Space. If you can manage that anywhere in Space and Time was at your finger tips- though the calculations could get to be a bugger, even with Femto-Quantum Computing.<br/><br/>J7 sat at the helm of the machine, for lack of better N-Space terms. He always liked the view. Being immune to atomic radiation may be a lackluster power in 3-Space but N-Space had radiation in abundance. As a result, he was the only person from his home time of 2284 who could survive long enough to see this view- and it always took his breath away. Every single time.<br/><br/>This trip had been a simple one. A quick errand to 2061, to subtly tip the research of a budding physicist a different direction. Hopefully, the Quantum Bombs dropped in 2077 would be less powerful as a result- meaning more people in 2284. A gamble, but one worth a try.<br/><br/>---<strong>3-Space, Complex 4, Former Cite of New York City, Day 192 of 2284</strong>---<br/><br/>The ship slips into 3-Space like a knife through butter. Just like it should, noise was a sign of a rough transition that could bring in energy from N-Space. Something that wasn't a pleasant thought.<br/><br/>""<strong>Complex 4, this is the H.G. Wells, requesting historical data sync, over.</strong>"" he broadcasts. Speaks is the wrong word, he doesn't actually say anything. A nano-technological colony resting in his speech center catches what he was trying to say and says it for him, feeding it to his clothes for a signal gain, then to the ship, then outward. Technological telepathy, as easy as one ingested capsule.<br/><br/>Nothing. Nothing over the comms. 3-Space engines working fine, he starts exploring the surroundings. Why wasn't Complex 4 answering? The hovering ship crosses a hill of ruins to see. . .<br/><br/>""<strong>Where's Complex 4?</strong>"" J7 switches to wider bands, the historical sync coming automatically when he does. Wait- no it's not, this is just general Network noise. The computer on the H.G. Wells is improvising a history data sync from it.<br/><br/>""<strong>Unidentified ship, this is Complex 3- please identify ship and crew.</strong>"" someone else sends out to the ship, he receives it directly in his head.<br/><br/>Complex 3? J7 knew from experience that they were from where Toronto used to be. What happened to Complex 4?<br/><br/>""<strong>I'm J7, my ship is the H.G. Wells.</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>I've never heard of an H.G. Wells. And the only J7 we have on record died 3 years ago in the Complex 4 Disaster. Who are you?</strong>""<br/><br/>WHAT?<br/><br/>The computer finishes the historical sync with a satisfied beep. What it reads out is nothing short of a nightmare. The physicist's new direction did make the quantum bombs less powerful- but they just built more of them. Worse, the work of the physicist had in this timeline fascinated R9 with Quantum Phase Technology. As a result when they were building the H.G. Wells R9 was somewhere else, and as a result the prototype exploded and took all of Complex 4 with it.<br/><br/>But if the H.G. Wells was never invented in this time-line. . .<br/><br/>""<strong>Wells, check for Chronal Degradation.</strong>"" he thinks loudly to his ship.<br/><br/>""<strong>Checking. . .Chronal Degradation present and at 2%.</strong>"" it sends back.<br/><br/>""<strong>Wells! Emergency Jaunt, Fire the N-Space Refractor!</strong>"" he thinks in a panic.<br/><br/>""<strong>Affirmative, destination?</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>Just start going backwards. I'll work it out as we go.</strong>"" J7 replies hurried. Backwards may not have real meaning in N-Space but the computer knew what he meant. Slipping back into N-Space, the readouts start peeling away dates, sliding from days to months.<br/><br/>""<strong>Warning, Chronal Degradation at 7%, pattern of degradation suggests forced 3-Space landing by 3-Space coordinates year 2150. Odds of an N-Space explosion 42%.</strong>""<br/><br/>An N-Space explosion, not good. An explosion not in 3-Space but up here in the true reality. What would result would make a Black Hole look like a sneeze.<br/><br/>""<strong>Not good enough, how far would I get if I diverted all power to the Info-Drive except life support.</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>Calculating. Forced landing at 2079. Odds of N-Space Explosion, 61%.</strong>""<br/><br/>Two years too late? Are you kidding?<br/><br/>""<strong>What about with Life Support?</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>Data suggests you'd crash into the 2012 Barrier. Odds of an N-Space Explosion, 89%.</strong>""<br/><br/>The 2012 Barrier? That's . . . perfect actually. A crash landing was less then ideal but it was far enough back. Without a time machine he had to make one more gamble- something far enough back to save the human race. 2012, The First Awakening. 3-Space's first recorded Class Red N-Space shift, though nobody knew what it was exactly at the time. But the people in 2284 knew- it was the first time the rules of reality would be changed forever. It had set up some sort turbulence in 2012 and if J7 played his cards right it would be like running aground on a sandbar- most of the landing systems would be unnecessary.<br/><br/>Working feverishly, a plan starts to form in his head- being sent out as soon as he can get it presentable in a way the computer can understand.<br/><br/>""<strong>Do it,</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>N-Space Explosion, Probability 84%.</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>I know, I'm programming in the instructions for the last info-drive burst, then to jettison itself, and shunt to 3-Space before it explodes. Just do the calculations for a 2012 crash landing.</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>But without life support. . .</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>I'LL HOLD MY BREATH, DO IT!</strong>""<br/><br/>---<strong>3 Space, New York City, 2012, The First Awakening</strong>---<br/><br/>The 3-Space controls had stuck before they even got out of N-Space. The Chronal Degradation was just too much. Now the H.G. Wells was little more then the cockpit, crashing into 3-Space and streaking across the sky like a shooting star. The stick was fine though, and J7 thanked whatever was out there that he had logged so many hours in simulators.<br/><br/>The streak of fiery light would be seen in the night sky like a beacon, low enough that people were worried about it hitting some of the taller buildings. Worries of another terrorist attack sound, but those that saw it. . .well, no idea what to make of it. It definitely wasn't a plane, but it was definitely artificial.<br/><br/>The crash itself seemed to be over before it started. The grass under his back told him that he had made it outside of city limits, casualties would be minimal. He'd be surprised if he wasn't the only one. The pain was incredible, but told him he was still alive- the H.G. Wells, a good ship to the last.<br/><br/>""<strong>Wells, you did good.</strong>"" he sends out before the ship completely disappears, the universe preventing a paradox.<br/><br/>""<strong>Thank you si-</strong>""<br/><br/>He chuckles a bit. Chronal Degradation takes the last bit of the H.G. Wells as he watches, and the engine- despite leaving N-Space ""first"" would not be seen for about 2 weeks- as an explosion the size of Earth's Moon just outside the orbit of Mars.<br/><br/><em>Hello, people of 2012. I represent the people of 2284. We have a long talk ahead of us.</em>J7 inwardly chuckles as he passes out, with a smile on his face as the radio-telepathy link goes dead.<br/><br/>---<strong>NYC, Today</strong>---<br/><br/>The first thing he can distinguish after waking up is the date and the time. No surprise there, the nanite tech in his brain interfacing with nearby computers was what they were supposed to do. For a moment he panics when he realizes what it means though. Two weeks? What happened to the last two weeks!<br/><br/>Reaching up, he feels tubes going down in his throat. 21st century medicine, absolutely barbaric. He pulls them out quickly and sounds start to beep. The only good news is that they seemed unable to figure out how to take off his clothes.<br/><br/>Which made sense when he thought about it. Some serious technology went into them, to the people of this time it would seem like something a runner would wear but with no visually apparent way to take them off and tougher then steel.<br/><br/>The hospital room is abuzz with noise, but J7 becomes oddly serene when he sees out the window.<br/><br/>""<strong>Complex 4?</strong>"" he seems to ask the City that Never Sleeps. No, that's not what they called it in the 21st century. New York City. The sky was blue. . .he tears up when it occurs to him that this is the first time he's really taken a moment to stop and look at it. Oh sure he's seen it- but he was always on a mission before. Now he has a chance to just stop and appreciate it. The Sky. It's Blue."

But wouldn't that mean she'd have to kill? And she couldn't just...stop banks from being robbed or anything like that. She was no hero. She had no idea what to do in her life before, what now? Would she just wait until some men in black took her away and she spent the rest of her short life being poked with needles? Her body shivered at the thought.<br/><br/>""Hey baby, whats with the jacket, you must be hot in that, oh wait, you already are."" A young man said, drunk as hell. He stumbled over to her table as she gave an annoyed glare.<br/><br/>""Go away""<br/><br/>""Hey come on don't blow me off like that.

He said with a wicked grin as the orange tanned man gripped her wrist.<br/><br/>Before she knew it, a pair of spikes, thick as a pinkie finger, shot through his palm, coming out of his wrist. She gasped in surprised. He howled in pain. ""YOU BITCH! YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE FREAKS!"" He took a swing at her with his free hand, which she ducked under. Delirious and drunk, the man stumbled onto her table. She quickly gripped her laptop and stood. A bouncer soon rushed over to stop it, but it was too late. Several spikes were coming out of her arms ""Shit shit shit!"" she said to herself. The bouncer tried to stop her but saw the spikes, the crowd had stopped and stared now. He reached for the drunk man when he slurred ""You bitch! You did this to my hand! Someone stop her!""<br/><br/>The crowd was in a buzz, unsure of what to do as Ada rushed out the front door. Her hood had flown of, revealing her green hair that showed in the club's lights.<br/><br/>IN her panic she realized she ran out the front door, a few more people notice her and gasped at her arms. Ada could say nothing, she simply turned tail and ran toward the back alley.<br/><br/>When she was alone she panted heavily and kicked a nearby dumpster. It actually moved a few feet. ""Dammit! They all saw me!"" she kept yelling stressful worries to herself for a good few minutes before trying to calm herself ""No one official would look there...and no one would know who i am...its alright...just need to leave..."" she found her thorns were gone now, but it wouldn't be long before people looked.<br/><br/>She pulled up her hood, noticing the holes in her jacket now as she sighed, and tried to get home."

Still, the people from the night club were not too eager to follow her into them, giving her a chance to move away from there, and the drunk. In the distance, she could hear the sirens of police cars approaching, but she had gotten a fair distance away, crossing through the alleys.<br/><br/>As she began her walk home, she could see the posters and writing on the walls. Mostly advertisements and some crude images, but also some serious marks. ""Freaks go back where you came from!"" and ""Meta-Hate, burning state!"" and stranger comments, along with some more positive ones. ""I want powers!"" was among the most common ones. There were those that were not awakened but seemed to desperately want to be.<br/><br/>As she moved ahead, there was a bit of noise ahead, as a taxi pulled over at the roadside and a tired looking man stepped out to light a smoke. Looking around, he paused to look at her directly. ""You the one that called?"" He asked in bored monotone."

Val-at-Marie's was discussing what they needed to do to prove their abilities and what to leave out. Her 'changing' ability was going to be downplayed till they were sure what the authorities, as well as her heightened healing abilities. They would have to play up her single mind/multiple forms ability and show the footage she had shot of making her third and fourth forms. That was mostly pictures so they expected some flack over that.<br/><br/>Her head, singular or plural, was smarting from all the business talk going on. Marie had brought in a trio of specialist lawyers to set up her new contracts, given an expected up peak in her job requests. She was pretty, a skilled actress, and had a very marketable paragon power. Marie already had her signing incorporation papers in anticipation of 'Myriad' becoming very marketable. Her PA was running around getting ways to prove that her forms were identical. Finger print scanners, eye scanners, bio-metrics all all sorts, as well as pulling in a pair of stuffed shirts from Berkley to go over her ability in the right sort of science talk. Add in plans for a multiple location teleconference with her other forms, aside from one, and things were looking to be very, very chaotic.<br/><br/>""You know,"" she said to herselves as they ate lunch.

She was cleaning up the small apartment while her other two forms in town was out running. One of them was out running in Central park and the other was smoozing their director friend over an early dinner. She sat down and pulled out her laptop and hooked up to the wifi in the apartment and started looking over her options. Jobs didnt' find themselves and she was feeding three here (as well as helping send money home to help with her grandparents and 'hideaway' self)<br/><br/>""So, we need to cut this job off."" She said to herself as she looked over the options since she would have to have all three of her at Marie's NYC associate for the teleconference. At least none of the forms here had to sit down and change back to her basic look. Her San Francisco and Las Vegas selves had to change for the teleconference. Which meant they would have to change back if they wanted to keep their nice stage act going. Odds are they would be leaving that gig behind soon enough, at least till they revealed their shape shifting talents.<br/><br/>She had to admit that she enjoyed the shape shifting bit. The forms in San Fran played as 'celebrity look a likes' of long dead super stars. The forms in Vegas had spent days tailoring their look to blend in. Even the form back home was looking a bit different than her normal look, better to 'hide in plain sight'. She wondered what the authorities would say when presented with her. Would they let her keep her ID and name for all her forms, or do something boneheaded like rule each as a separate person. Which could really such come April 15th she thought ruefully.<br/>"

The Las Vegas side was unbothered, only the LA connection seemed to have gone down from the effect.<br/><br/>Val's search came up to find a small local movie being filmed, and looking for actresses. Something that had pretty specific descriptions for 4 required female roles, but also offering work for a few weeks in smaller roles, and a good payment for those weeks. The thing was the movie was a poor budget zombie flick that would probably not be seen by many people, and filmed in a run-down neighborhood.<br/><br/>There was also a posting on a professional website about upcoming auditions for a play, and steady though narrow payments for months ahead with that.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Paradox (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>What he had to say seemed to shock the woman, the african-american fellow laughing lightly at that as he headed off. ""Looks like he got your tongue stuck, doc."" The way he headed off cheerfully, it seemed obvious the two did not get along too well. As he was going, the woman frowned, closing the door after him and approaching Paradox.<br/><br/>""We need some answers and we are not exactly sure what you are. Your flight path was ballistic and got a lot of people rattled and scared, and now they want to find out what exactly it was. We found you at the site, and with that outfit that is definitely beyond bizarre. It has not been removed, don't worry."" As she said this she watched him warily. ""And yes, we wonder what your part in all this is, so we would like to know a few things.""<br/><br/>Her eyes narrowed a bit more at the comment about the sky, sighing and looking outside. ""The sky is beautiful but it has been that way for a while. We cant see the stars from all the light-pollution at night, but its still impressive."" She shrugged. ""But I find you more impressive, or at least your gear. What is it?""<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Ada (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>The tired looking man watched Ada a moment and then sighed. ""Fine. Get in."" He moved to sit down again. ""Where to chief?"" He shouted from inside the taxi while tossing his cigarette out of the window after getting seated there. ""The call said to Ravenwood but nothing more direct, you just want there or you got a closer address?"" His tone was serious as he slumped on the seat there.<br/><br/>At that point a nearby door opened to reveal a woman carrying a large bag heading towards the taxi but pausing on spotting Ada. She watched Ada warily, one hand in the pocket, another holding the bag's handle, seeming to be sizing her up as she paused.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Dominic (Arlington, Virginia)</strong><br/><br/>As Dominic and Senator Lieberman were still talking a man in a black suit and 'secret service' written all over him in his manners and serious look stopping to speak up to the Senator, casting a brief look at Dominic behind his dark glasses, but seeming to find himself unable to ask the man to leave, though he did glance at Dominic and then back at the door a few times before seeming to make his decision and just speak straight.<br/><br/>""Senator Lieberman, we need you to see this."" He moved to the nearby wall-mounted television screen and pressed on the button at the bottom. ""Switching to CBS news and..."" The image shifted to a map of the United States West Coast, and in particular LA area. ""...are still assessing the threat, but evacuations are a possibility and the airport has already began redirecting flights elsewhere and suspending flights until weather improves, as the storm cotninues to grow and approach."" The image showed a large black cloud on the screen, with a timing in the upper left corner showing the storm mostly at sea, fifteen minutes later on the coast itself, half an hour later half-way over the city, and in an hour covering the entire city and pushing on.<br/><br/>""Several ships at sea have already suffered severe damage and we have received reports of at least three vessels in need of assistance, but attempts at rescue are impossible within this freak weather. While estimates agree it will lose strength when reaching mainland its also assumed it will cause damage in its passing, and the large amount of lightning is bound to increase the damage."" As the Senator watched the screen and then at the secret-service man, the man in suit cleared his throat.<br/><br/>""The weathermen agree, this is not natural, the storm is moving<em>against</em>predictions."" He left the rest unspoken. ""Dominic, I think you can see why we need this now more than ever."" Lieberman crossed his fingers. ""When there are<em>individuals</em>that can cause something like this, if its man-made indeed, we need to have something to help us counter any attempts to harm us with such. Such powers would definitely cause unforeseen chaos and destruction in terrorist hands for example. I am not saying we need a military organization, but we need someone, something that is capable of dealing with matters such as this. I will hope to hear your report as soon as its possible, but rest assured this storm will be a perfect example to any doubters that we need assistance once they too learn that this was not nature.""<br/><br/>((OOC: I had already written this and was posting when I noticed you had just made a new post 1 minute before I first tried to post this.

They'd probably be settling down soon, but in the meanwhile Bill seemed to grunt to the phone at the other end, shifting papers from the sounds of it. ""Hmmh, its slave labor here but the bonuses make it worthwhile. You gotta make a good offer if you want me to shift somewhere else. Ahh, as for that, yeah I have heard something. She was doing a very good job, with a healing success rate of 98%. Only one patient didn't heal under her touch, and the person in question was already considered dead for legal purposes. So it seems she cannot bring the dead back to life, even if they are only 'recently deceased', but otherwise, she got people cured of cancer, blindness, crippling injuries, and apparently did something about a boy from some third world country that had lost a leg to a landmine. Would you believe it, the damn stump grew into a whole new foot over time!"" There was a short laugh at the other end, but then a heavy sigh. ""After that ruckus though, nothing. Police moved in to secure her, get her out of there, but reports say she left the police station on her own after. Only to disappear."" Bill sounded unhappy about this. ""I can look into it, but that's all I can tell off the handle.""<br/><br/>The plane was touching ground when the phone rang before Dominic again, this time from Thomas. ""Hey, took me a bit, you owe me some good smoked whiskey for this one, twenty years age minimum, but alright here's what I got. Her real name is Linda Ward, age 28, medical student at Harward Medical School, top of her class, but coming from a poor origin. No living relatives, orphaned at age of 15, lived with a now deceased uncle until his death at 2006, living on by herself in Massachusets, records show no criminal records associated with her. Has holdings in Massachusets, tracked down 3 known acquintances from school to Los Angeles, New York, and Pennsylvania. Each working in hospital.

The comment is said through over a dozen mouths as two of her look out the window before turning to join the others in the apartment to start unplugging any unprotected electronics. She had wanted to look into the disappearance of the healer but it seemed any paragon related research would have to be done by the forms of her elsewhere. She knew that her hidden form would be able to after talking with her grandfather, the mention of something called 'quantum entanglement' had peaked her interest. The old retired physics professor was trying to explain it to her but in the LA side of things she had been typing out notes that her form in Marie's office was getting. It was kind of handy to be able to do this sort of thing.<br/><br/><em>At Marie's Office</em><br/><br/>""So, we'll be doing this as soon as the storm clear?"" She asked as she looked over the contracts. They were very thick. Very detailed. Marie had sat down with more than a few lawyers talking about 'hypothetical'. Paragon law of all sorts was going to be a very big in the future, she learned. There were all sorts of clauses about who she'd be able to pose as, and what sort of roles she'd do. Marie had gotten very very worried when she showed up as a virtual copy of her. The shape-change ability wasn't mentioned so her ability as an actress was inferred as the reason. Then there was the incorporation as a single person corporation. That was confusing till Marie explained it. Given her multiple form ability, and her as yet unrevealed ability to take on other forms, she would be needing a way to protect her 'assets'.<br/><br/>""Definitely darling."" Marie said with a grin. Of course as one of the few folks aside from herself on the board of 'Myriad Inc', she was expecting to make lots of money out of this.<br/><hr/><br/><strong>Myriad (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>She looked over the job listing before writing down notes on what the actress' looks in the producer's and director's past five movies as another of her forms walked in. She picked up two gallon jugs of water and headed into the bathroom to relax in the tub, budding was a pain for the first few hours as her systems started doubling up. Sometimes it was a heavy protracted fever, other times it was an all over body itch. Soaking in the tub for the first half helped out though.<br/><br/>The perks of multiple forms was numberless it seemed. She always knew the script since one of her was always reading through the lines while she was shooting. Add in looks to order, and she was doing better than most girls. This job seemed to be fairly easy, they liked a few things in particular. A pair of blonds, moderately busty instead of back breakingly heavy, and a red head and brunette. She could do the colors now and after the press conference change to match the other features.<br/><br/>"

A certain percentage of those citizens use the services of Jacob Dworkin, MD, of Beverly Hills. Is your face a little too familiar with the police? Dr. Dworkin can help you out with some plastic surgery. Are you an athlete that could use a little boost? Dr. Dworkin has a prescription for HGH for you. Knocked up the teenage starlet you nailed on the casting couch? Not to worry, Dr. Dworkin can make that go away. Are you a local politician whose idiot of a son died from an overdose? Dr. Dworkin will put down whatever you want for a cause of death and keep the coroner away. With his reputation for discretion and numerous ways he can be useful, Dr. Dworkin is quite in demand. As a result he had thought he had seen it all... until today.<br/><br/>""You say you turn into... a gorilla?""<br/><br/>Dr. Dworkin had seen the Colombian porn star called Eva X before. She had come to him in the past to be tested for STDs. They had all come up negative, so Dr. Dworkin had no problem with Eva paying for his services in trade. She had always seemed reasonably bright to him. Smart with her money, kept her vices under control, mastered English a hell of a lot faster than his housekeeper. He couldn't understand why she had come to him with such a crazy story.<br/><br/>""And you undergo this transformation... after an orgasm?""<br/><br/>Eva nodded in answer to both of his questions. She didn't just look serious, she looked frightened. Not that fear made her look any less bangable. Eva had told Dr. Dworkin the whole story...  she had been shooting a gonzo video with Dick Buttkiss (not the name his parents gave him) at his place in Malibu when he had made her cum while licking her pussy. Eva had a reputation for being the easiest girl to get off in the industry. It was one of the things that kept her in demand and she didn't disappoint Dick. But what the actor/director didn't count on was his co-star turning into a massive ape. Eva said Dick went for a gun and got mauled to death for his trouble. To add to the bizarreness, the gorilla was male and jerked off to the footage they had filmed. After that, he transformed back into Eva. she cleared out any evidence she had been there and got the hell out.<br/><br/>""I heard that Dick was murdered,"" said the doctor. ""Are you telling me that you did it?""<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://www.outofaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Sofia-Vergara-5.jpg)</div>""Not me!"" Eva protested. ""This... animal that I turn into! Whenever I have an orgasm he gets unleashed!""<br/><br/>""Wait... has this happened more than once?"" asked Dr. Dworkin.<br/><br/>""Yes. That night I had a really wild dream. I must have fingered myself in my sleep because the beast got out again. He found some cheap whore in an alley and he... ""<br/><br/>Eva put her had in front of her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes. She remembered everything that had happened. The ape pummeled the whore, ripped her clothes off, and forced his massive cock into her. When he was satiated the whore and mercifully passed out. Eva found herself suddenly naked in a filthy alley. She was able to steal the whore's clothes and get home. The entire situation had been horrific. Eva had been a helpless witness to the brutal rape, unable to do anything about it. Then she had been left helpless in a bad part of town. She had gotten out all right that time, but she didn't want to be part of such brutal violence again.  Not to mention the thought of being left naked God knows where was pretty terrifying.<br/><br/>""After that I have sworn off all sex, even getting myself off,"" explained Eva. This was a lot to give up considering her occupation as well as being naturally a very sensual woman. But she couldn't take any chances.<br/><br/>Dr. Dworkin thought about what Eva had told him. Normally he would think it was some sort of delusion. But the fact of the matter was that Dick Butkiss was indeed found dead in his home looking like ground beef. Dworkin also recalled a rumor going around of something some people were calling ""the animal of LA."" Considering the one witness was a known drug addict, not a lot of people believed in the tales of a Sasquatch-like monster roaming the streets. But everything lined up with what Eva confessed to him all too well for it all to be figments of the imagination and there were so many stories about strange thing happening lately...<br/><br/>""Listen, Eva,"" said the doctor. ""If I am going to help you, I'll have to witness this change myself. Now don't worry, we've got some straps that hold down thugs gone crazy on angel dust. And I'll give you a sedative that relax your muscles but not numb you. I'll manually bring you to orgasm, observe the transformation, then do the same to return you to normal. Does that sound like a plan?""<br/><br/>Eva was understandably reluctant. She had wanted nothing to do with bringing the Animal back. But after Dr. Dworkin explain there was no other way, she finally agreed. Eva removed her clothes, displaying the spectacular body that had been seen by so many on various DVDs and websites. Dr. Dworkin had her lay on a table where he had heavy leather straps attached. They were loose to allow for this alleged creature's greater size. The doctor gave Eva an injection and while he was waiting for it to take effect he put on a rubber glove and spread some lubricant on the fingers.<br/><br/>""Just relax, Eva. I'm going to start the procedure.""<br/><br/>He reached between Eva's legs and slid two fingers into her snatch. As he started pumping them in and he he rubbed the porn star's clit with his thumb. While he looked all business, Dr. Dworkin had to admit he was enjoying giving a fingerbanging to this sexy ass slut. He felt himself growing hard in his trousers. The doctor remembered he also had another girl waiting for him. This one was a Mexican drug mule that he was writing a fraudulent note for saying she was pregnant. That way she couldn't be x-rayed by security at the airport. Thanks to swallowing countless condoms filled with drugs, the girl had no gag reflex and Dr. Dworkin fully intended to take advantage of that later as part of his payment.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Eva was purring with pleasure. The doctor knew just how to touch a woman. The shot he had given her left her feeling loopy but didn't stop her from enjoying what was going on between her legs. It wasn't too long before she knew she would hit the Big O. While she felt some fear over what would happen next, the shot helped relax her and she trusted the doctor's precautions. So she was able to let herself explode from the skilled finger in her cunt.<br/><br/>Dr. Dworkin watched as Eva came, forcing himself to ingore her gaping mouth and heaving breasts. But nothing seemed to happen and the porn star started to calm down. He removed his hand and took the glove off, disappointed that it was all a delusion after all. Then it happened. Her skin grew darker and she started to swell as if from an allergic reaction. Hair started appearing all over her body. Her face contorted into a mask of primal rage. In mere seconds the space that had once been occupied by a beautiful naked woman now contained a gigantic ape. The beast looked down at the straps... and snickered.<br/><br/><div align=""center"">(http://dietergunawan.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/kingkong-4-mobiles.jpg)</div><br/>""Sorry, doc. I ain't into bondage.""<br/><br/>The transformation had left Dr. Dworkin speechless. Hearing the ape talk sent his mind whirling. And when the Animal snapped the leather straps with barely any effort, he was paralyzed with fear. The creature got off the table, clearing not effected by the drug Eva had received. He stood easily a foot taller  than the doctor and gargantuan muscles could be seen under his black fur. A massive penis hung obscenely between his thick legs. He gave the doctor what might have been a grin but was hard to tell with those awful fangs.<br/><br/>""I do got a spanking for ya though!""<br/><br/>The Animal gave the doctor a nonchalant slap on the chest that sent him flying back into his cabinets. Then the creature tore the door off the hinges and went out into the hallway. Dr. Dworkin managed to recover and give chase. The Animal had made his way into the waiting room where the Latina drug mule sat flipping through a magazine. She took one look at the huge ape coming toward her and screamed.<br/><br/>""Madre de Dios! Madre de Dios!""<br/><br/>""What the hell is that?"" growled the Animal ""Mexican? Speak 'merican, dammit!""<br/><br/>A giant furry paw grabbed the frightened girl by the neck and lifted her up. The Animal eyed her up and down with lechery in his dark eyes.<br/><br/>""How about showing Jack what goodies you got?""<br/><br/>With his free hand the Animal ripped off the girl's simple dress with one tug. The body revealed was rather thin, the breasts barely filling the training bra she wore. a frown appeared on the Animal's brutal face.<br/><br/>""Shit... I can't even get a half-chub over that!""<br/><br/>The Animal threw the girl back into her chair and stormed out of the clinic. Once he had gone, the girl rushed over to Dr. Dworkin, who had witnessed everything. He gently pushed her aside and got out his cell phone. Once you started wrecking his office, you lost the doctor's legendary discretion. But the number he dialed wasn't to the police.<br/><br/>""Hello? Jacob Dworkin. I have something you might be interested in... ""<br/><br/><br/>"

She held out a manilla envelope with 'Myriad Inc' on its surface, containing not only the timing for the filming, at least according to the original plans, but the agreements signed by local groups that would be broadcasting the material later. As the assistant moved in to set the file on the table she cast Val a look and a smile, hurrying off soon after though.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Myriad (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>As Val began her budding she had relative peace in the bathtub, aside from the feeling the budding was giving, it seemed nobody was looking to bother her at first. The old saying about bath and phone proved true though, as a phone began to ring a little later though. It took a moment for the other her to pick up, but she came to learn the talk on the other end quickly.<br/><br/>""Hey, its Timothy. I'm in the city again, and would love to meet if you got the time. Listen, I got a couple friends who are planning on shooting a small-budget film nearby, I know the guy directing and arranged myself a part. What say you we negotiate you one too?"" The guy was a total sleezeball that unfortunately had contacts all over, but also a rather harsh way of treating others. He was from a good family and with good connections, but the guy himself was so full of himself he seemed to only notice others to brag about his own achievements. Among which taming Val was not, a matter he had decided to fix, and not being all too subtle about it either.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Ada (NYC)</strong><div class=""floatright"">(http://ithaca-rentals.com/Images/Porperty%20images/ravenwoodmain.gif)</div><br/>The man waited till Ada was in the cab before moving to start the car, but the other woman hurried over fast, moving to sit in besides Ada there. ""Huh, two of you? Alright, I'm gonna charge your boss extra for this though."" The man muttered, seeming to be largely indifferent. The woman next to Ada was nervous but nod a little at Ada, seeming to be alright with her presence at least. The car got on the move, and driving ahead in mostly silence it soon arrived at Ravenwood. As the car parked, the woman got up and out of the back seat, sighing.<br/><br/>""Thanks."" She said at the driver, then looking at Ada. ""Ah, come, you're new are you? You don't want to be late."" She seeemd a bit timid at saying this, hugging the bag to her chest as she got moving again. ""Lets see, it was.."" Pulling out a note from a side pocket of the bag, she looked at it seriously, an address and a time written upon it neatly.<br/><br/>""There."" She gestured at a nearby sign. ""Apartment 16 then."" She cast a look at Ada again. ""Don't want to be late, they take a chunk more if you are."" She tried to hurry Ada, moving ahead towards the buildings. This was fairly close to a local campus, and Ada could see some teenagers and barely out of their teens fellows leaning to cars, chatting and drinking, legally and less than legally.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Dominic (Philadelphia)</strong><br/><br/>Dominic was still waiting for the stewardess when she came across the information he was looking for, the weather report. The storm seemed to have raged across LA area and damaged several buildings, harsh winds tearing at buildings, with enough strength to strain and break some of the glass windows, and with lightning strikes burning through not only lightning rods but antennas, frying electrical systems. The storm had also ruined a lot of good equipment, and halted broadcasts from LA area. There was reportedly some cases of death out at sea where the storm had come in, and a few accidents caused by the storm, but there was no massive tidalwaves and no earthquakes, no collapsed buildings and no massive damage to the city.<br/><br/>It looked like a large mess, but one that could be cleaned up in time. The thing was that several of the storm clips seemed to be cut whenever the view was turning towards a particular building in downtown area, Dominic could see its edge in a few frames, but never the building itself, the film seemed to skip ahead two seconds at that point.<br/><br/>As he was waiting, a phone began to ring, an unfamiliar number for him. Once picked up, a serious male voice could be heard. ""Talk about bad timing."" Thomas. ""We got a bit of a situation, a meta just awakened nearby and we were called into action immediately. Dont bother looking for this in the news, trust me."" His tone was all the more serious. ""I wanted to finish telling you what we started earlier though, and figured your cell might work.""<br/><br/>There was a short groan at the other end, and a bit of ripping noise, before Thomas spoke again, though sounding like he was talking between his teeth. ""Anyway, the girl's arrival to the news was shortly after she helped heal several wounded people while at hospital, with just her touch. It seemed she was dubbed 'Angel of Hope' by the patients, and hopefuls gathered around her. After the broadcast of the news though, she was swarmed with requests, and job-offers too. Every hospital wanted a sure-fire-way-healer. Lots of bad news though, too. Some doctors were very angry that someone could do with a touch what they need several thousand dollar operation for and with better recovery rate and a lot faster too. So, good and bad on that front."" Thomas paused for a moment, and Dominic could hear a small groan at the other end, as well as a woman's voice. ""Oh stop your squirming there's just one more left."" There was a short pause and a pained shout, before Thomas sighed and lifted the phone.<br/><br/>""Sorry, hmmh, some people have no respect for others on the phone."" His tone was at least joking, but sounding pretty tired. ""Anyway, the police interfered when it was looking like a riot would break out around her home, taking her to the station. Apparently soon after that they released information she had left the station by herself, but apparently the Federal Bureau stepped in at that point, both for her protection and to ascertain if she could be recruited to assist with the safety of the president and other high-ups."" Thomas was quiet for a moment. ""Thing is, FBI arrived to the site, but there's no report of her arriving to any of their safe-houses.""<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Paradox (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>The doctor looked at J7 for a long period of time quietly, then frowning there, seeming to think he was playing with her. ""Well mister time traveller, what are you doing in this year then? How about you give me the next lottery numbers while we are at it? How about you telling me what put you into a two-month coma in a suit that should not exist?"" She spoke warily, watching him for any sudden moves now. Her bodylanguage showed her annoyance as well, but before she could go further the door opened, and Carter returned in the blue outfit. ""Here you go, breakfast in bed, breakfast of the champions huh? Eat up, you need to build your strength after that powernap you took.""<br/><br/>The doctor looked a bit enraged he just burst into there like that but scoffing, she rested her checklist to her side. ""Mr. Carter, don't you have nurses to chase?"" The guy merely smirked and shrug. ""Alright, sorry to leave you with lady Gorgon here, but dont let her turn you into stone, she's just mean because her bosses are riding on her ass on this."" As Carter headed out again, the doctor seemed to be fuming but said nothing right away.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Anima (LA)</strong><br/><br/>Rushing outside, the gigantic ape could see a storm approaching the city in the distance, seeming to be pushing the clouds together and darkening them as it approached. Leaving Dr. Dworkin's office, Anima came face to face with a young woman with finely combed hair, a fit looking body, and an attractive face. Dressed in a black, somewhat feminine suit she paused and stared at the ape in shock as it appeared before her from the doorway she had been approaching.<br/><br/>Amidst the storm clouds, though, Anima could spot something else. Feminine figure, flying high up amidst the lightnings, seeming to be undisturbed, indeed it was almost as if the storm itself carried her. The woman's skin was reddish-tan in the distance, a far stronger tan than the most sun-worshipping beach-lions and sunbathers. Dressed in what seemed, from a distance at least, to be a native american tunic with light ocra colour, and feathers and flowers in her hair. For all that look, the storm she brought with her was savage seeming.<br/><br/>She flew at roughly the height of the roofs of the taller buildings in the city, moving towards the east at a slow pace as the storm was rolling closer and closer."

""Fine. What do you need?"" She moved to join him, the two soldiers outside the room looking at Paradox warily. The area they were in had large doors further off, with a sturdy lock on this side, a wall-sign reading<em>Research Department</em>and under it<em>Trespassers will be Prosecuted</em>. The doors next to them, leading to the rest of the hospital area perhaps, were marked with red tape over them at the handle's height.<br/><br/>There were a lot of computers in a larger room at the back, with glass window along with a tight metal netting. Faraday cage. Whatever was in the Faraday Cage was isolated, there was no network connection to what remained within it. The build of that cage was serving its purpose, isolating them entirely. If the look of the armored glass and the lock in the door were to be trusted, it was a very secure build as well. Not to mention it looked airtight. Someone had put a lot of effort into making that room.<br/><br/>There were other machines nearby as well, but the woman moving ahead paused before a door behind which Paradox could feel less 'secured' machines, several computers set at ready.<br/><br/>""I suppose you can wander some but I want those proof today, and you cant cross any doors marked with a red stripe."" Her tone was entirely serious. ""What do you need?"" She watched him, careful, but the soldiers relaxed at the spot.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Dominic (Philadelphia)</strong><br/><br/>Switching the channels, Dominic got a view of several channels showing the same area edited out, it seemed no channel was eager to show that area for some reason. Nonetheless, as he was hopping through channels he also ran into a small channel showing a report from somewhere in Afghanistan.<br/><br/>""...emerged unscatched. Several mobile artillery batteries were called in to assist, responding to the attack. The Afghanistan officials are entering negotiation with the U.S about military assistance in hunting down this living weapon."" The report showed burning ruins of what must have been a small town.<br/><br/>""Just an hour's drive from Kabul, this place was attacked savagely without warning leading to seventeen deaths and over fifty injuries. Several people are still in critical care, as the military is trying to track down this individual, nicknamed<em>Hyena</em>due to the captured audio and visual recordings. We warn you, these next images are disturbing.""<br/><br/>The image shifted to show a man that looked truly twisted, bare of clothing but covered with a mixture of fur and some sort of bone spikes. Laughing manically, he was literally tearing chunks out of people while pressing on, the footage showing a police shooting at him directly, before he swung his arm and several spikes of bone flew off his arm in the swift motion, nailing the policeman's arm, stomach and cheek. The camera dropped but a moment later, and the image shifted back to studio.<br/><br/>""This development has lead to some increased talk about need to control metahumans..."" The door knock interrupted things at that point.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/>Marie seemed to be enjoying her time at Dominic's side as the two of them reached downstairs, the restaurant area seeming to be mostly empty but a delightful scent in the air of fresh food, and a couple of people eating pasta there nearby, waiting for him. As Dominic came downstairs the receptionist man rushed over to Dominic. ""Sir, you have two messages waiting you at the counter."" He bowed his head at Dominic and his date for the evening. ""Neither one is urgent, please enjoy your evening."""

Eva was a hot piece of ass but if he couldn't tap that then he didn't want to be stuck in her. The Animal's glee soured a bit when he saw storm clouds instead of the warm California sun he was expecting.<br/><br/>""What the shit? This is still LA, right?""<br/><br/>He was so distracted by the dark sky that he almost ran into a woman standing stunned on the sidewalk. She had a pretty sweet body in her business suit, one that appealed to the Animal's lecherous nature. He gave her a grin, one that wasn't pleasant  in the slightest.<br/><br/>""You seem like a classy bitch. We can fuck missionary.""<br/><br/>Before the woman could respond (although her opinion wouldn't have any bearing on what the Animal was planning to do to her), the monstrous creature spotted something possibly even more bizarre than a well-hung talking ape. There seemed to be a female dressed in traditional Native American garb being held aloft by the storm. This strange sight made the Animal forget about his horniness, at least for a little while.<br/><br/>""Sorry, toots. I don't wanna shoot my wad before I check this shit out.""<br/><br/>The Animal casually shoved the woman aside and took off towards the figure in the sky. He ignored the reactions of any passerbys that saw the huge ape lumbering down the streets.

The woman stared at Anima in shock as he neared her, but the sudden rush up the building left her moving off as fast as she could in her high heels.<br/><br/>Rushing up the building's wall, the big ape got higher and higher swiftly, good large window ledges providing good spots to grip on and the building's detailing giving solid handholds and stepping stones on the way up, so it was not a real challenge for someone with skill to climb up in urban grounds.<br/><br/>Fairly soon the Animal pulled itself up on the roof and had a closer look at the indian woman. Her skin was richly tanned, enough to say that she was a genuine native american by the looks of it, the outfit might have been a bit cheesy but it looked like it was made to resemble a traditional garb, though without knowing a tribe in particular, it was impossible to tell what all was wrong and how badly.<br/><br/>What was definitely clear from the view during the climb though was that she wore no knickers with the tunic's 'skirt' half, and the woman's sash tightened the outfit on her but the swell of her chest said that she was filling out her outfit fairly well.<br/><br/>She seemed shocked to notice the large ape as well, not having heard his words but seeming surprised. She was about to pass the building some 30 feet away from its side, the next building 20 feet further yet from her, a 50 feet gap to fall at if leaped towards at that, and the height was enough that it would hurt to jump and miss, but her pace of movement was fairly slow.<br/><br/>Looking at the Gorilla her eyes were fairly wide though.

Nodding to the woman, he gestured her to enter, looking around outside suspiciously and closing the door after him.<br/><br/>At that time, Ada could see a man in a nearby car in the parking lot raise a phone to his ear and talking with someone, staring at the now-closed door.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Myriad (LA)</strong><br/><em>@Street</em><br/><br/>The indian woman was flying forth slowly before a large ape rose along a building's side and could be seen from the street level near a building's rooftop's edge, the woman and the large animal seeming to be talking. Reaching the next buildings in line, Myriad could see a nearby building had a fire-escape with a set of large dumpsters pushed under it. Climbing up to the bottom of the fire-escape ladders didn't seem a hard task from there, and they went all the way to the roof level. Based on the graffitti on the walls, it was used fairly often by others to get up high too anyway.<br/><br/>The storm was pushing ahead when a massive bolt of lightning struck a news-helicopter a bit further off, the impact sending the chopper to drop height swiftly. Spinning wildly, it hit the pavement, smoking and partially on its side, and worse, in the way of coming traffic. Car tires screeched but a pair of cars still struck the chopper's side.<br/><br/>Unlike in the movies, the chopper and cars did not explode, but there was a definite smoke-pillar rising from the hull, and the rotors had been slowing through the whole fall, the systems fried with that first hit, whether anyone was alive inside or not was hard to tell.<br/><br/>@Marie's Office<br/><br/>As Marie and Val were going over their deal, the phone began to ring incessively making a racket. A moment later the assistant peeked into the room a bit warily. ""Ma'am, its Mr. Timothy Stone, and he wants you on the phone, he sounds very demanding about it."" The assistant seemed a bit hesitant, but it was ringing on Marie's table already. Moment later, it was on speakers.<br/><br/>""Marie, lets cut to the chase, I don't like you one bit, but I like your client. Here's the deal, I got a friend in the industry who is going to make a new movie, and I want your girl, Val, as my opposing role actress in it. Payment is 100,000 plus royalties, this is hitting it big."" The sleaze could be somehow heard even over the phone from his voice. ""Definitely something she should get into, adult stuff that will sell really well especially with a fox like her and a hunk like me."" He sounded like he was hitting his own drum. ""Hell, they're offering her a better deal than me, but I'm cool with that to work with her and show I'm a great guy."" Yet he sounded very smug about it.<br/><br/><strong>Myriad (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>""I don't like her, but if that's what it takes. I'm guarantining, this is a good opportunity, but I need an answer soon. Work with me girl. I'll let your agent know."" He finished the call, sounding a bit annoyed but leaving Val to bud in peace in the bathwaters, the call ending soon. That left her within the waters, with relative measure of peace to enjoy herself there.<br/><br/>In the livingroom, one of her could see the news going on about the storm at Los Angeles. ""The officials statement is that the reason for this unnatural storm is still unknown, but the meteorologists already at agree that this storm is pushing against weather patterns inherent at the area in this time, so this storm could not be a natural one, but a freak of nature. The estimates range from global warming to interference from a metahuman, but so far the situation has been chaotic. The cameras sent closer to the area are unable to broadcast live anymore, due to a massive electromagnetic charge in the air over the area the storm is crossing. In related news, an U.S storm-hunter airplane has been sent to investigate this freak storm occurence from above already, hoping to shed light to the mystery. More on this as we return..."""

When the door closed she considered moving up to put an ear, but she saw the man stare at the door now. She couldn't do much.

Clearly he couldn't take a hint. She didn't do porn. Marie didn't allow it, she wasn't interested since it killed any chance of getting out of the profession. The look told her agent what she thought and she sat back to let the agent unload on him. She was sure that she already knew who Timothy was working with and how much the budget was.<br/><br/>Sometimes, as much as she wanted to unload, it was best to let a pro do it and watch. This was totally worth her paragon ability, to see things work out and Timothy get shot down in her presence on two coasts in under two minutes.<br/><br/><em>@Street.</em><br/><br/>Val climbed up the ladder, glad that this was the one form that hadn't been on her run and workout yet. The actress had started a new routine for physical working out, her mild healing ability let her recover faster. She figured that as time went on she'd find more implications in her ability, she already figured out how to alter her features and form with a wide range. Odds were that she'd figure out how to improve her healing ability and shifting abilities.<br/><br/>She heard the woman talking to someone, so maybe the ape was another Paranormal. She lingered on the lip of the rooftop as she pondered going up or not. What she was hearing from the woman wasn't good but she felt a need to speak up. Before she realized what she was doing she climbed onto the rooftop and circled around to keep the ape at a distance.<br/><br/>""I think that you might be giving grist to the mill for the opposition. You could have done things a bit differently. Why not use your abilities in a way to show what you can do and do good at the same time."" She said clearly, using her stage voice to be heard over the winds. ""I'd have suggested getting at the very least a publicist if not an agent before coming out. You could have picked one of the dozen or so towns out in the desert that died out, flattened it with your powers and then turned around and brought water to a drought area to show the two sides of your power. Doing this.. makes the feds and cops want to find a way to stop you.""<br/><br/><em>@Home</em><br/>Val was using her phone to call the authorities for the chopper crash<br/><br/>""Yes, there is a chopper down from storm damage."" She said quickly as she took note of where her other form was, using her laptop to bring up google maps to the right bearing and direction as she gave directions before hanging up.  She looked to the wounded form with a shake of her head. ""This isn't going to go well.""<br/><br/><strong>Myriad, NYC</strong><br/><br/>@ Her Apartment<br/><br/>Val sighed as she got up and walked over to the door, checking the door locks and the iron bar that she would use to keep the door locked and secure. Timothy was a tool but he was persistent. A good solid iron door, an iron bar to keep it propped shut, three locks and a reinforced frame. He'd have to be very strong, or have a SWAT team to get in. She didn't want him stopping by while she was budding, even if it looked to be like she was an hour or so from being done.<br/><br/>""Shouldn't have listened my address on the new posting here in New York."" She grumbled as she took in the scenery of herself in LA talking to the two other paranormals she'd personally met. Not good. Her other NYC self had slipped out of the job she was working and headed back. Last thing any of them wanted was trouble before the press conference. Not like a dog walking job for a vet was a full time job, just a quick 'family emergency' excuse and she was done."

No sooner than when she had reached the end of the apartment row, the guy from inside stepped out to nod to the guy in the car, who seemed to say something into the phone briefly, starting the car and starting to drive away. The car headed to the opposite direction of the girl, leaving her walking away unharmed, visibly relieved, hurrying off the site as fast as she could.<br/><br/>The group of people at the cars looked at her in her rush past them but said nothing, continuing to drink and laugh over something together.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><strong>Myriad (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>Val got herself half an hour after securing the door to relax in the water, as much as she could with the budding going on.

I'll get you more money than that old hag of yours ever could, I can make you money right into your hands as soon as the shoot is over, and it keeps on coming for a long time too, you just gotta lighten up and help out."" His tone was serious, but trying to be polite.<br/><br/>Looking at the door from outside and waiting a moment, he began to bang it with his fist. ""Val! I need you to take this job, you can earn good and so can I, I got connections to make it worthwhile, all I need is your name to a few papers, come on you can do that much for me!"" He was banging the door a lot harder. Normal door would have shaken already. Hers was holding him out securely.<br/><br/><strong>Myriad (LA)</strong><br/><br/><em>@Marie's Office</em><br/><br/>The yelling that Marie gave Timothy should've deafened the man, but he tried to yell over her voice even louder, being a stubborn guy from the sounds of it. Eventually, Marie just slammed the phone shut, turning to regard Val again. ""We're all set then, all we need are the signatures here. Do you want to have our other partner to check it out once more or do you take it, read it, and sign it?"" She smiled, offering the papers.<br/><br/>The last papers to be signed before the meeting. It was almost there.<br/><br/><em>@Street <strong>(Involving Anima)</strong></em><br/><br/>As Val appeared to the rooftop and shouted at the flying woman, she narrowed her eyes turning to regard Val with some suspicion. Lightning struck from the sky but at a distance, nowhere near Val. The flying native american woman seemed to regard Val with suspicion and speaking up at her words in turn.<br/><br/>""The Government has always favored the majority, I dont see it changing around on this either. Metahumans will be a minority, and not even a large enough minority to make a real difference. It will only make the government watch everyone with powers."" She stated coldly. ""I'd rather let them know to back off, than to offer them something to continue raping the land with."" Her tone was tense, and angry. She was fairly young, and stubborn by the looks of it.<br/><br/>""I can bring the rain, but first they need to know that I will deal with anyone with sufficient pain to make any attempts against me futile."" She seemed to be enjoying her power, and with a gesture of her hand, multiple lightning bolts arched from the sky to strike on buildings, but when she did them in such a flashy style it seemed to weaken each and every last one of those bolts, but it still made a heck of a frightening light-show.<br/><br/><em>@Home</em><br/><br/>The sound of sirens soon reached her home, as the emergency vehicles were rushing on the scene, but similar sirens were going off all around the city from the looks of it. At least the storm was moving ahead slowly, starting to cover the city, but its edge showing in the distance, still over the sea. It would pass, but it would take a while."

For a moment she cursed at herself for not getting information of the woman but...she didn't deserve to be involved in this.<br/><br/>To help the process of the waiting, she walked over to the party, keeping herself with a low profile. She was the same age as the people around her, so if she was fast, none would notice her swiping a bottle of beer.<br/><br/>She waited a good 10 minutes, making sure nothing happened before she took a large swig of the beer, practically gargling with it so her breath would smell of beer.

He finally replied.  It was not that he thought Marie would not understand or that she was not genuinely concerned.  Some of the things were actually classified and it was probably best not to mention what the senator wanted just yet.  Finally he thought up a generic answer that he believed would satisfy his lovely companion.  ""These metahumans have changed the landscape.  There is a lot that needs to be done.""<br/><br/>Marie smiled prettily and reached across the table to take hold of Dominic's hand.  ""I've had a lovely evening."" she said.  Dominic laid his other hand on top of hers and flashed his charming smile at her.  Marie continued, ""Maybe next time we bump into one another, you will not be so busy.""  Dominic nodded.  ""It's a date.""<br/><br/>Knowing they were not spending the night together relieved some of the pressure off of Dominic and he was able to enjoy dessert.  They talked while she waited for a taxi and Dominic gave her a non-committal peck on the cheek to send her off.  As soon as her cab rounded the corner out of sight, he retrieved his messages and headed up stairs.  He did not even make the elevator before his phone was out again.<br/><br/>""George?  Dominic.  You know that list I asked you to compile?  I need it tomorrow.  I need you to flag anyone with military or law enforcement experience, I will start with them.  And anyone who looks to be able to handle themselves in a fight.  I am sorry about your brother's wedding but things are moving pretty fast.  Have you been following LA?  Yep.  Washington is getting nervous.  It is only a matter of time before they do something.  If we are not that something, someone else is.  And you know what the first thing they are gong to do – registration.  If you do not want to be on that list, then get me mine tomorrow.""<br/><br/>Dominic hung up and dialed another number as the elevator doors opened.  ""Warren?  How are you doing?  Yes, I know it is late.  I am sorry to trouble you.  Look, this LA thing is making Washington nervous.  I am afraid someone is going to suggest 'registration'.  I want to cut it off at the pass and I am going to need something more than a Godwin to...what's that?  Seriously?  You've' never heard of Godwin's Law?  What kind of lawyer are you?  Just kidding.  It is an internet meme.  Basically comparing something to Nazis.  Exactly!  I am working a couple angles, but it could not hurt to hit 'em with civil liberties.  Tomorrow afternoon would be great.  Thanks, Warren.""<br/><br/>Dominic had to switch hands to work the pass key and open the door.  He tossed the messages on the bed as he turned the television on to catch the latest from LA.<br/><br/>""Jackson?  Dominic.  How is Aruba treating you?  Well I have something you might be interested in.  Yes, I know you are retired.  Yes...yes, I remember you swore never again.  Hear me out.  Have you been keeping up on the metahumans?  Do you know about LA?  No, the storm is not natural.  Yep.  They are getting nervous.  They tasked me with running some numbers and putting together an assessment.  I want to go a step further.  Someone is going to put together a team and I would rather be the one doing it.  Sticking my nose where it doesn't belong?  Look, you are the one who doesn't trust them further than you can throw them.  Wouldn't you rather be the one pulling the strings?""<br/><br/>""I need someone who can work with rookies.  I need someone with initiative.  I need someone who can keep their cool when the plan falls apart.  Washington does not even know what they want yet.  They are going to want to point at LA and say, 'Take care of<em>that</em>.'.  Retired?  Don't give me that.  I know you miss the field.  Get packed.  I will send you a ticket.  See you in a couple of days.""<br/><br/>Dominic clicked his phone off and picked up the plain, white envelopes.  ""Let's see what else needs juggled."""

Military fighter-planes had been called in action after the storm-chaser plane had photographed a metahuman in the middle of the storm, and on a nearby rooftop a pair of other people. One from behind, so it was hard to get any details other than an attractive female form but so covered in clothes in the rain that it didn't allow any identification from that distance, and the other a large ape that seemed to be talking with the woman flying in the air.<br/><br/>""The metahuman who did this is being sought after, and the government has raised its preparedness, announcing intention to respond to any hostile actions by metahumans by necessary force. The airforce showing its strength with a pair of air-superiority fighters has been so far considered a weak gesture given the metahuman woman made her escape before authorities could respond.""<br/><br/>""In other news, Channel 56 would like to take 1 minute silence to remember our beloved On-Site anchor Johnny Mannix, who was killed when his news-chopper was struck by a lightning bolt in LA earlier today during the storm. Mannix left a wife and two children behind."" The image showed a young, attractive man in a clean, nice suit, and shots of his family and him, plus an image of him at several local sites in LA and near it, interviewing people and looking like a Saint.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Myriad (LA)</strong><br/><em>@Marie's Office</em><br/><br/>""I think we should drop the bombs one at a time.

She smiled at Val as she was planning, before the name made her blink.<br/><br/>""Ravencliff doesn't do small budget films, he makes bigger ones. If you get in with him, prepare to lose those forms you invest in that project, for several weeks at minimum, might be several months. Last 3 movies he's made have sold in Asian market and in Europe very well, though not as much in the U.S. He has some strange ideas but he is good, and the pay matches the work usually. Its upto you, it will tie 'you' up a bit but its work that would get your face known in Asian side at least, and in Europe."" Marie seemed a bit excited but also wondering. ""His timing couldn't be worse though, just as we are about to bring you out he has to appear -before- that. Its almost too well timed if you ask me. Are you sure your secret hasn't gotten out?""<br/><br/><strong>Myriad (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>Several messages from Timothy to get in touch with him, and another male voice from someone sounding like they were his friend, saying that a guy they like had recommended her for adult features and that based on the picture they had gotten she would be invited to come up but they'd need one without clothes to know if they could hire her. Based on how the guy sounded, it was pretty clear he was waiting to see her as much as Timothy was.<br/><br/>Googling around for jobs found some small auditions all around the NYC area, and a broadway announcement of cancellation with a reason given the actress breaking her leg 2 weeks before the opening.<br/><br/>Googling the fellow that Val was speaking of at LA with Marie produced a list of 20 movies produced internationally, some in Arabia and some in Asia, and a few more in East Europe. Looked like the guy was involved in a number of different movie sorts, from romantic, tragic stories to mysteries and suspense. He was not A-List, barely B-List in U.S but internationally his movies sold very well. It seemed the latest pictures in China had elevated 2 actors to 'stardom' there."

""I have bodies living in San Francisco, Los Vegas and New York City.  I can perceive and interact over all these bodies at the same time.

She had till noon the coming day, and a sweaty student-housing room for herself. The simple 'common room' was messy but with the gear on the towel on the floor being a section of the room that looked reasonably clean compared to everything else. Three nearby doors lead to two bedrooms, each with a computer hooked up at ready and a number of DVDs, ranging from porn to a few good and a few bad movies, and a number of games. The last room being a small bathroom, the whole place looked like a decent-to-live cell-apartment for the students without more money at hand.<br/><br/>As Ada then went to work with the small computer, she came up with a few phrases.

Throwing her to the wolves like that and giving them an even more juicy story as well as now having everyone's attention on the professional metahuman, you'll have to learn to avoid people you dont want to deal with, I imagine I may have to allocate some budget to protecting you from your fans soon enough.""<br/><br/>Smiling as she sipped on her drink she chuckled. ""Our third partner also announced that there were 2 criminal charges brought against you, and dismissed even more quickly. Apparently some people tried to act against you claiming you have been travelling using the same ID for multiple persons but at the end, you are multiple people at once, so you did nothing illegal, even if the situation is unique.""

She didn't have to worry about the touch artist doing anything. She had eliminated all moles, scars and body hair over the last two weeks after discovering her shape-shifting talent. She was also working with Marie to 'tweak her image over time. Full pouty lips were just the start of things she had added.

It was a nice half an hour before there was a message back, first one from the movie-offer.<br/><br/>""We understand your concerns, and want to reassure you that we are not intending to mock anyone, including the Christianity itself, this movie is the work of an author who made his name with end of the world tales, and this particular one received a good amount of attention and positive response to it that we believed it would make a good movie if done tastefully. Its a frightening movie but its also entertainment, intended to appear as the ultimate showdown between heaven and hell, and humanity caught in the middle. We eagerly await your response."" Followed was a preliminary contract, they probably didn't expect her to sign but viewing it over showed committing her the 2 forms to the project for 2 or even 3 months, and the pay for the movie was definitely less than a fair amount. More than a B-list movie star would make, but if she wanted to be A-Class star, this pay was poor. The written section of the paper proclaimed it was due to her 'inexperience with movie industry' as a cited reason.<br/><br/>Her email was filtering out messages from Timothy and some others already, so she had nobody bothering her that morning on-line at least.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Myriad, LA</strong><br/><br/>""I think you could get by with eight, or even six if you really wanted to strain yourself in changing quickly.

Marie remarked, her tone friendly. ""They want a lot of pictures that you get to go-over with them afterwards, to make sure that the ones approved are sexy but with good taste, and they are eager to have you. I heard Hef himself will be observing, and you have an invite to have a form or two stay over."" Marie laughed. ""Given how you are about to be on the shoot there though, it seems natural, but I can't help but think he is very pro-meta with this.""<br/><br/>""Alright, the car is ready and waiting for you, cooled champagne is there in a bucket of ice, and I got a list of messages printed out.""

She forwarded it to her with a note asking her about her impressions on it. To Val it seemed they were trying to get her on the cheap. They had some valid points with her experience, particularly considering the rest of the cast but she wasn't sure how to get a better deal in on the back end. She figured it was look-worthy but needed more expert eyes than hers. Hence sending it back to Marie. She was feeling like she was coming up on her limits too. She had originally only been able to do five copies, but after a few days she had worked past it, so she knew what the 'wall' felt like copy-wise. She was guessing that she had maybe another three or four forms before she hit her limit. Of course she could always fly a form or three out to NYC to balance things out after the shoot at Hef's. She didn't like so many of herself in one city.<br/><hr/><br/>[Myriad, LA]<br/><br/>Val nodded, she had been moving forms from Vegas to LA in prep of this. Not to mention setting up a cycle of budding as they were moved. She was learning more about logistics than acting the last few days. Moving a LOT of bodies around was hard, even with the leased jet from Vegas. Add in the extra clothing and food cost and she was taking a risk. Odds were she'd have to send a few forms back to Vegas or perhaps further east. The modelling shoot was a good idea or perhaps having a movie studio pay her room and board on a movie site elsewhere might not be such a bad idea after all. She'd leave that to Marie and the money crunchers to figure what was the smartest move. Marie was much better at spotting what was more factored towards the big plan.<br/><br/>""I got a few ideas on how to start the advocacy issue earlier. You were right about me being a focus point and we need to figure how to play that out. I have been thinking on how to set up a 'code of ethics' for some situations."" She held up a hand. ""And yes.. I know, it's time for me to get off my ass and get out to the limo. Teleconference with me about this. I'm sure San Fran and some of the girls in NYC might be open for a discussion on it.""<br/><br/>With a laugh and a wink she headed outside to join the rest of her forms in the Limo/Hum-vee combo waiting for her. She figured that Hef would be politely interested but she knew she was neither blond or Canadian so it wouldn't be long term."

""You are beautiful naturally and it looks like you are stunning after preparing, I think you are going to have a lot of fans and a lot of envious watchers.""

That counted the deaths in almost as high, only involving a more immediate threat, a rather powerful explosive that had taken out much of the students living in those apartments as well.<br/><br/>Each shift had at least brought the death toll down, from almost three digits to low two digits, and now a single digit.

""Mr. Sugar, sir, its-"" He let out a heavy sigh trying to calm his breathing. ""-an honor to have you here. I apologise, we were just a bit amazed by-"" He rubbed his throat, coughing. It seemed like his voice was rather worn at the time. ""-a young man that just began to prove<em>Einstein's calculations</em>about the limit of the speed of light<em>incomplete</em>.""

The belt itself sticking out a little from her bag.<br/><br/><strong>Paradox (NYC)</strong><em>with Ada</em><br/><br/>Watching the two women, Paradox came up with a list of information about this woman, Kim. She ran a blog on-line, but later on it became a high-rated meta-news site, commited to neutral stance but posting all exciting rumors and facts, separated into two clearly separate sections but still. This woman was one of the forces that spread misinformation, perhaps unwittingly but still.<br/><br/>As he stood there, he could see a symbol at a passing truck. A symbol later associated with many of the<em>unexploded bombs</em>in American soil, back in the age he was originally from. That company was still there, but the symbol did not contain the name on big enough print for him to see as the truck turned a corner and out of sight.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Myriad (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>After the drive to her apartment, Valerie was lead along to the  hallway by the trio of police. A stern looking man that looked like an extra from a WW2 movie of germans, with firm jaw and somehow 'evil and mean' looking face. The moment that Valerie Dobson had come out she had been saluted by the man who introduced himself as Carl Stein, and the man had the look of someone that hit the gym all the time. Vicious, mean, intimidating, he was certainly a sort of police officer that would make a troublemaker think twice about arguing with the law.<br/><br/>Besides him walked an african-american policeman with neatly cut hair and the looks of an excited rookie. He kept looking at Valerie and brushing a notebook with his fingers now and then, but had not said anything after his introduction. When he approached her at the station, he had excitedly pronounced himself to be ""Michael Stephenson, one of your biggest fans ma'am, if I could-"" At which point Carl had raised his voice interrupting the man, as well as glaring at him sharply. The man had been quiet ever since. It had to be the 'Mike' mentioned on the phone earlier, the voice sounded similar afterall.<br/><br/>Lastly was a female officer, a little older woman with the looks of someone from south america, with her tanned skin finely cared for, but her body moving with the agility of someone that either knew dancing, or who knew martial arts. Her steps were precise, and her eyes alert as they neared the door. ""Elisabeth Blackwood, Beth to everyone at the station"", she was a smart woman from the looks of it, as well as the person that took point when they came to the apartment.<br/><br/>Opening the door Beth revealed the sight of trashed furniture and broken walls, hit like someone was swinging an axe or a sledgehammer. Everything was broken, beaten, even the porcelaine seat in the bathroom had been hit to pieces. There was no water flowing from the looks of it at least.<br/><br/>There was one thing that was<em>not</em>supposed to be there though. Picture frame with an image of her and Timothy, back before she got to really know him, taken at the place they met at. Someone had smashed the picture against a wall.<br/><br/><strong>Myriad (LA)</strong><br/><br/>""Please, its 'Handsome Devil' miss!"" The photographer smirked and smiled to her, starting to shoot pictures of her quickly. He admired her, and wanted to make love to her with the camera. He was not a fan before, but he clearly enjoyed a view of her. The few times she was showing more than the publishing might allow, he held his finger off button, not wanting to take pictures that could not be used, though the temptation was there.<br/><br/>Not for money, even if he could have probably sold them off for a high price somewhere else later. No, because he wanted to save a few that bold pictures to give her for her portfolio and perhaps, with her permission, to keep to himself. Smiling, he kept taking shots before suddenly speaking up. ""Oh you make me want to take a few personal ones, do you have a portfolio that could use some bold pictures?"" At least he had asked.<br/><br/>""Respect the lady and let her set the limit."" Hef smiled at that time, admiring Val's figure in the water and then another one, and another, seeming to be feeling rather hot himself based on how he stepped a little aside to retrieve a cool towel to wipe his face with before pausing to look at her, enjoy her work. ""A natural if you ask me.""<br/><br/>The photoshoot was going well, and would be wrapped up in no time if things went that well."

She looked around the apartment for a bit, stunned at the sheer destruction.<br/><br/>""Well for one thing I know, I've lost my deposit."" She said wrly as she finished the circuit of the apartment. ""One that I know..that's not MY copy of the photo."" She said pointing to it. ""My copy is still with my LA form, in my photo albums. I got a 'mistakes' page and its' one of the ones on it.

I promise not to put them on my site till after the magazine shoot is posted."" She was having fun, and seeing Hef there watching her made it easy to simply flirt and tease with him and have the camera capture it as her flirting with the audience as a whole.<br/><br/>She was more than happy to ride the flow of the shoot and do things that came naturally. Luckily she wasn't too body shy, though she'd never posed nude since she wanted her first time to be 'just right' and you didn't get more 'right' than posing for Playboy. While nude there was never any full exposure shots. All in all it was very tasteful."

""I could do a personal album to you if you felt like stopping at my studio at some point, a whole nude or dressed folder of your looks for any potential clients or for just a personal keepsake.  You're a delight to capture on the camera.""

Ada was fine, but for Paradox, it almost seemed like there was three of everything for a moment, his vision blurring out for just that one second. What's more, all the news and the future information he had went down, entirely gone, for about ten seconds. His entire suit was rebooting at that time. What's more, several lights nearby flicked off at that instant then starting up again, some shattering from the pulse. It spread like a wave,<em>visible</em>in its effect as it went further, fading off soon, but for a while there was a visible<em>ripple</em>of lights going out and coming back in nearby buildings.<br/><br/>Across the street, a young man cursed as his laptop seemed to die on the table, then soon after rebooting. ""Piece of M*****f***ing crap!"" He cussed with such a bad whine to his voice that while it was cleaer what he meant, it was almost like someone had tried to bleep him out, his whiny tone just making it sound stupid.<br/><br/>The orb's surface began to light up, and one section of its panel seemed to<em>slide back</em>revealing a row of spikes, a similar, empty spot in the belt showing several sockets. Thing was, it looked like the spikes were longer than the sockets were deep.<br/><br/>The small calculator resembling device in turn lit up, reading text in german. <Restoring power, Stand-by, Rebooting, Configuring Fusion Matrix Containment>.<br/><br/>Whatever it was, it was starting to come to life. At least those three parts. The tube that Ada carried had not yet shown any signs of life at least.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, a number of cars stood in the traffic lights stopped and dead on the spot. The pulse had not only knocked lights and the traffic lights out, but killed the electronics in cars. Seemed to have made a lot of people step down on their brakes.<br/><br/><em>For Paradox it was a bit of a peculiar fact, the suit should have been able to take a pulse without disruption, and the device should not have created one if it was safe, yet it didn't look like it was malfunctioning, there was no blaring alarms or signs of other danger, but the power it was generating was immense. Even by the scales that Time-Travel attempts had taken.</em><br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Myriad (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>Frowning a bit the man sighed, shaking his head as the female police officer handed her number over to Val there at the scene, thinking about what Val had said as they got into the car. The note from the police contained a direct number to the squad, no personal names marked down, but the police shield and the number itself, handed over with a small smile.<br/><br/>Though quiet and thoughtful for a moment, Val's protector's voice rose in all its seriousness. ""This Timothy person had seen you all over NYC before, could it be he had some foreknowledge of your abilities and tried to get you for that reason too? It seemed awfully insistent on him, and I'd rather you took some of<em>you</em>to immediate shelter somewhere. Something tells me that a nutcase like that is not going to go away quietly.""<br/><br/>He looked at her and smiled. ""I will of course protect you, but just in case, you have the unique opportunity to press one or two of yourself into security that nobody else would have."" He spoke in a calm fashion. ""So would it be too much to ask?"" He seemed to think on something a moment, continuing. ""Also, does he have anything<em>illicit</em>he could pin on you, something<em>personal</em>or<em>embarrassing?</em>"" He looked at her very seriously.<br/><br/>""Marie must have asked all this before in a general level, but if he has something he could use against you, he seems the kind of a twerp to attempt blackmail, even 'in your face' blackmail."" He smirked at this actually. ""Which would put him in a good hitting distance of course.""<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Myriad (LA)</strong><br/><br/>Hef let out a laugh and smiled at her, brushing his chin. ""While I have preferences I believe the sexiest qualities in a woman are her confidence and her pride in her style."" He pat her back, nodding. ""Surprise me, I'll love it, I am sure of that."" He showed her a smirk fit for a man half his age, lively and a playful fellow who appreciated woman beyond her looks. While he admired her beauty, he looked for more than that, and Valerie was proving to be that 'more than that' quickly enough.<br/><br/>""I will make sure to have the mansion gates open for you at a later time too, but right now it might be wise to get the bunnies out shopping as a thank you for the fine work of helping out with the shoot today."" He smiled again. Usually, the bunnies did not have to do such work, but this was a more secure shoot than most had been, for a good reason.<br/><br/>Not everyday did they get to do a shoot as unique as Valerie Dobson's had been.<br/><br/>The photographer smiled to Val and nod his head, finally chuckling. ""I'll introduce you to my boyfriend while at the studio if you got the time."" He then paused to add a little more. ""We are both attracted to women, but also like men, so we are a bit of dangerous trouble, but don't worry, you will be safe."" He winked. ""While you are lovely, I dont mess around with work. Just saying I think I can get you fans on<em>both sides</em>."" A sly smirk crossed his lips at this."

Then she kicked her door open and pulled the injured man out of the car as she tried to recall where he had put his stun gun. She'd grown up on visits to her grandparent's farm and knew how to handle and shoot a gun, though she'd rather have a stun gun than risk killing an innocent bystander.<br/><br/>""Come on Sam, let's get you clear in case this is not an outright accident."" She muttered as she put the bigger man over her shoulder and half walked half carried him to the sidewalk while looking around for the person or persons that hit her. It wasn't paranoia if there really WERE people out to get her, she reminded herself. She scanned around, paying attention to landmarks and most importantly to the street signs and anyone approaching her.<br/><br/><em>@the Safehouse</em><br/>One Val was on the phone to 911, reporting the accident and giving the details as she saw them through her form at the scene while the other was moving back and forth working with the bodyguards to coordinate a pick up detail and double checking the safehouse security.<br/><br/>""Yeah.. I'm Myriad. THAT Valerie Dobson, so I KNOW what is going on at the accident site. I was just coming from investigating a robbery at my old apartment, so there should be a couple officers not too far off."" Val said into the phone, giving the investigative team's names and the address of the apartment. She was worried that this was some sort of snatch and grab. She wasn't' entirely sure that folks wouldn't try to 'black lab' her. That was the main reason she went along with Marie's idea to patent her DNA.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>LA</strong><br/><br/>""Just a second Hef."" Val said as she another of her forms came over with a bottle of water and handful of aspirin. A glance around would show that ALL her forms were popping a few headache pills or putting a cold compress on their head. She was still getting used to negative feedback from her forms but she wasn't about to complain. Compared to the one death she had experienced already a car accident was a bit of a surprise but nothing more. She was more concerned about the bodyguard and if the accident wasn't one. If she was about to be attacked she wanted to take in all the information she could. Not that she was worried, given that the other forms in New York were already calling the cops, checking the perimeter of the safe house and making notes of incident in real time.<br/><br/>""Car accident, New York. Wasn't prepared for it."" She said with a grin as she gulped down the pills and smiled at him. ""And no, I'm not a vegetarian.

Valerie could still feel the others of herself, but it was like they were all slurring, being slow. Her mind and body were moving at different pace. Doing that for long would likely give her a massive headache, but for now, it allowed<em>this</em>Myriad form a chance to act faster.<br/><br/>Suddenly, Paradox was at her side, her mind hastened. She saw the man with the shotgun turn towards her and the man, and fire. The next instant, a green wall rose up between them and the gunfire. The green wall budged slightly. Stopping the round there and then.<br/><br/>The helicopter tried to lower down as the man that Myriad was holding screamed and collapsed to the shot knee, screaming and almost fainting. The gunshot to the kneecap shattering the knee perfectly, leaving just powdered bone behind there. The impact of a grenade shook the ground somewhat a moment after.<br/><br/>Valerie's bodyguard cussed, shaking the gun. ""Damn thing is jammed! Piece of crap!""

Its best to stop them there and question them than to let them leave after engaging in such mayhem.""<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Ada (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>The wall of green rose up to shield Myriad and Paradox in time, taking a shotgun blast to it without trouble. A hard 'shot' firing into it, causing a bulge but ablated by the wall, stopping into it. That wall's rise made the man with the shotgun pause though, while the one with the shotgun looked at where it originated from.<br/><br/>For a moment, Ada was looking at a grenade launcher turning her way before police gunfire made his aim jump and the shot fired only to hit a brick wall at third floor height, blasting a cloud of dust and loose tiles in the air. Ada was far enough to not be harmed but she was aimed at with a destructive weapon for a moment.<br/><br/>More to the point, she could see a newchopper in the air too, and coming their way. The chopper in the air over the scene not having space to land again with the green wall in the scene, keeping the thugs from escaping the scene.<br/><hr/><hr/><strong>Paradox (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>The moment Paradox reached out for Myriad there was a ghostly vibration in the air, like she was suddenly three people in place of one for just a second, a ghostly after image of two at her sides.<br/><br/>The next instant she put a bullet through the knee of the man she held before her, the chopper floating above, a green wall rising up in between him, Myriad, and the rest of the thugs. An explosion shook the ground nearby, a nearby building's wall shattering to brickdust and bricks. Not their way, but in the direction Ada was standing at.<br/><br/>The chopper above was still hovering, seeming to have trouble landing now."

Except for the one who's legs had been badly hurt, who soon enough got lifted to a waiting ambulance.

Her soft lips brushing over his own even after the kiss.<br/><br/>She said nothing right away at least, smirking a bit teasingly, gazing deep into his own eyes her eyes then closing again, kissing him. Her hand rising to brush on his arm, higher towards his shoulder. As they were kissing there were a few chuckles somewhere nearby, and a hurried waiter passing away. Spoiling the mood a little perhaps, but Noelle didn't seem to pay it any real heed at least, smirking at Beat silently."

Within, the letter marked 'Valerie Dobson' and 'Myriad Inc' with return address simply marked as 'Hades Enterprises' along with a phone number, but what lay within was another deal. Pictures of a young woman, as well as a page reading 'Healer, Metahuman, Public'. Attached was a list of people with diseases marked next to them, and the marking 'healed 100%' next in the rows. Several people.<br/><br/>Then in addition to that there were two other papers. One of them a map of some sort of a facility, marked down on a larger scale map to be located somewhere a bit away from New York, and the closer up view showing what appeared to be a campsite of some sort, only the paper also showed a partially underground facility and tunnels connecting the buildings. The other paper in turn contained text.<br/><br/>""This is P.S.I's local headquarters. P.S.I and the Seven Thunders are responsible for much of the recent meta-human hate. The P.S.I has more clinical interests, while Seven Thunders is a hate-group lead by rather zealous religious folks that give the rest of religious people a bad name. Nonetheless, this P.S.I facility is<em>presumed</em>to hold Healer captive. Recent documentation indicate her location information was classified following a<em>botched</em>capture attempt, but someone dragged that information up and kidnapped her from government's protective custody.<br/><br/>The Hades Enterprises violently opposes this kind of trampling on metahuman rights. We are supplying you and selected other individuals with this information, to use it in whatever manner you deem best. Please leave our company name out of this if possible, but if you draw us in we are willing to fight this battle as well, but we prefer to maintain a measure of distance.

Seven Thunders, that is more traditional hate group. Think extreme islamists as well as klux klux klan wrapped in nazi flags. They are looking to spread hatred towards meta-humans at all places on the globe, and ultimately cause the complete destruction of these 'godless heathens' and 'devilworshippers' as they see the metahumans. The other group, and this is the more dangerous one, is the P.S.I and they are very good at what they do. Which includes taking out key figures in meta-human publicity. Healer was giving the metahumanity good reputation. Poof. Now this Myriad woman is doing the same. Guess who is next if you dont step up to help.""<br/><br/>The man leaned back some, speaking seriously still. ""Seven Thunders attacked her home, killed bodyguards, tried to kill her. They failed. The government's agency moved in, Federal Bureau's witness relocation program was put into effect as she became a living witness to the hate crimes the Seven Thunders are attempting to pull off. Unfortunately, it seems that the P.S.I has good source of information within the Bureau. Her location leaked, and she was taken up rather quickly.""<br/><br/>The man lifted a small flask from his pocket, sipping a gulp of its contents. ""Other operatives are contacting other people with information, as is deemed necessary."" The man looked at Beat very seriously. ""You are, as of now, publically recognised but not making a very 'good news' section yet, so they are not targeting you, yet.

There's additional information available, and you have to take the reliability of this 'basic information' with a grain of salt.<br/><br/>Seven Thunders has formed two days after the metahumans arrived, and it is lead by a charismatic priest called <em>Purifier</em>. He seems intent on destroying every last metahuman, wiping them out, and that is done so that they don't offend god with their demonspawn abilities, based on the writing on the website. The Seven Thunders is an extremist faction, much like the 'Church of Jesus Christ, Paragon' is another religious organization but one aimed to elevating metahumans as 'Guardian Angels' of humanity. <br/><br/>Seven Thunders seems to outright cry out for violence towards metahumans however, not speaking of any moderation, wanting them dead, and the Purifier goes forth to claim that as a proof of his rightful task, he's been given immunity to any 'devil tricks'. The images include one of him walking through the flaming street from a past incident when a fire-controlling metahuman just <em>started</em> having an ability, but based on the image, the fire didn't even touch this man in a long priest's robe. The scary part is, his outfit already looks like some crazed inquisitor in the image. What's more, his face is obscured so to not be identifiable. <br/><br/>The search for P.S.I reveals no clues. There's different organizations sharing the PSI letters but none of them seem connected to metahumans, not at least in public it seems, and nothing related to healthcare business either.<br/><br/>Hades Enterprises seems to have started up around the time metahumans arrived. European business, it seems to have a lot of old Greek Mythology at use within it, but one thing is clear, the competition is accusing them of foul play and cheating, claiming they have a metahuman <em>seer</em> in their service, able to see the future. There's a lot of wild rumors, but the leader of the corporation, a man called <em>Hades</em> is quite a charming fellow of mediterrean skin and dark hair, in a slick suit in a press photo.<br/><br/>The Hades Enterprises in turn seem to have invested heavily in European Media, and various businesses. They also own warehouses in the United States side, and seem to be increasing their wealth rapidly. The company seems to have gotten started when three powerful men got together into a merger meeting, and Hades apparently ended up elected as the CEO of the new company and having actually <em>bought out</em> all the original merger makers and their companies in the first week.<br/><br/>There's a bit of whispers on-line though that points that Hades Enterprises could be a front for some dangerous metahuman elements. </div></div><br/><strong>Myriad, Paradox, Ada (NYC)</strong><br/><br/>As Paradox got to work on the information Ada and Valerie were interrupted by a security guard stepping up.

It wasn't something in ANY of the reports. In fact, aside from one hidden copy of herself far away from any of the others, she hadn't done much beyond 'touching up' her appearance. A little 'tweak' over her body to fix minor imperfections before her 'coming out' she hadn't used it too much. Shift her nose a bit, reshape her facial shape, touch up skin tone, eliminate scars and such were most of what she had done. She was still the Valerie Dobson, just with a bit of 'error correction'.<br/><br/>""I got one more .. 'talent' that will let me spin out a few copies and go with you.""

Cause if you could.. that would be an AWESOME way to scout out the complex. Paradox, if you can give us names of folks who would fall on our side, that could be helpful."" One of her forms got up and headed upstairs, time to draw a bath and get started she figured, one way or the others. ""I realize that the more we divert from your timeline, the more things you have in your database will become useless, but aside from saving Ada and me you haven't done much yet. A good idea of who our allies might be could be useful as a way to start things up.""<br/><br/>She really hated not knowing what was going on with the Hades folks though. Were they true allies, or someone who shared similar issues using them as a stalking horse for their mutual foes? She hated thinking about such things.

Nothing concrete on P.S.I. The initials were not even mentioned in anything made available to the general public at least. There were different answers to the initials on different sites, but none of them seemed one that would be a company involved with metahumans or hospitals.<br/><br/>The search on Hades Enterprises brought out a dossier on a company that had convinced several wealthy people to invest into a risk enterprise, getting their money doubled, and then tripled, before being bought out quietly. It appeared that Hades' investments had paid off remarkably well. They were even suspected of manipulating events. Lots of suspicions and accusations around them.<br/><br/>Seven Thunders had several webpages, but the public image was clear. They were strictly anti-metahuman group with a large religious press to their agenda. They believed Metahumans were dangerous, and religious arguments clearly marked the metahumans to be agents of the devil in their view. They publically announced having already successfully driven away 16 metahumans from their homes after the period of metahuman appearances began.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>P.S.I's leads were few, but eventually something came up. It was not in Paradox's own database, it did not seem to exist in other times. Yet as the searches got more invasive, one of them struck gold.<em>Paranormal Studies Institute.</em>There was very few things that could be confirmed on the spot at least, but there certainly appeared to be some material.<br/><br/>P.S.I was an organisation with many connections. Hospitals, military suppliers, possibly some more clandestine organisations. Their presence was like that of a spiderweb, lightly touching many, barely noticeable but yet strong and definitely there.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Hades Enterprises had a rather large dossier of information, various smaller companies had been bought and their services made part of the whole. Hades seemed to have almost precognicious way of acquiring what was going to be useful soon. The company's success seemed to be tied with Hades' leadership. Nonetheless, there were accusations as well.<br/><br/>Insider trading, manipulating local events, attempts at global manipulation. It seemed there were a lot of different accusations, but there did not appear to be concrete proof. The Paradox's database picked up a small reference to Hades Enterprises. They had risen like a star, but the<em>assassination</em>of Hades himself by a metahuman claiming the name<em>Titan</em>had brought the enterprise down, according to the database, 2 years from the present moment. In the meanwhile, Hades Enterprises had risen (although with shady reputation) into as big company as Microsoft or Google before it.<br/><br/>Its collapse dragged both Europe and United States to an economical brink. It was widely believed that Titan was hired to assassinate him so the Asian powerbloc could rise up and take control.<br/><br/>There was a documentation claiming the man called Hades was a metahuman, but also that he had a few metahumans each taking a Greek Personality serving under him as well.<br/><br/>It noted that an analyst had decided the name 'Hades' was decided on his habit of 'balancing the scales' and 'judging the worth', rather than as the Ruler of the Underworld. He was the 'older brother' that took on a heavy responsibility, but not a position to lead.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Lastly, the Seven Thunders. Their list of attacks against metahumans was the tip of an iceberg. In turn, the Seven Thunder's report in Paradox's database marked them down to having killed roughly 60% of metahumans they pursued, the other cases resolved by metahuman moving away and beyond their reach, and in a few instances, through metahuman attacking them, which unfortunately seemed to only give them more support in some circles.  Their PR was frightening, their leader seemed to have a charisma that rivalled Adolf Hitler, frightening but effective towards those following him.<br/><br/>There was also a marking almost a decade from now the Seven Thunders were celebrating when a metahuman having taken the shape of an angel attacked their actual stone church during its construction, destroying many, before the church's leader, in long flowing white robes attacked this angel and snapped its neck with bare hands.<br/><br/>The image had spelled the end of Seven Thunders in original time-line it seemed. Having lost support, they became a small, very small group in fact, but their violent agenda remained, at least for a while, before an attack against a small metahuman community lead to their total annihilation.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the dossier also noted Metahumans had taken over Cuba entirely, outing every non-metahuman, having proclaimed Cuba their sovereign territory, and having swatted down from the sky everything from a spy-plane to a ballistic missile. Reportedly even satellite orbits had to be adjusted to pass elsewhere, not over Cuba, because of a 'mysterious tendency to implode' while crossing over the area.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">OOC</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Phew. <br/><br/>That took a while to write, and while its addressed to Paradox its going to be on the wall screen for all to read.

Looking at his hands and the key, listening to his words. Her eyes widened at the mention of the healer, but she stayed quiet till he was done, taking a breath.  ""Learning of her fate would make a very impressive article but I think it'd put everything at risk. Alright, I hope that whatever you plan will go well, but this is just in case right? You do plan to come back.""<br/>Ty closed her hand over the key, then touched her cheek and leaned close to her lips.  ""Just keep that safe for me.  I'm not going to leave you behind.""  His lips brushed softly over hers.<br/>A faint redness was apparent on the sweet caramel shade of her cheeks, her lips touching his softly in return as she smiled and then nod, her nosetip brushing against his. ""Alright Just make sure that you do though."" She then lightly pressed her free hand ahead to poke at his chest. ""You pick a date to ask for a favor like this huh?"" She smirked a bit teasingly but didn't look like she was really planning on complaining.<br/>He laughed, a grin splitting his features, teeth white in the dim movie theater.  ""Thought it would add a little bit of excitement."" he teased.  Ty cupped her cheek with his hand, then brushed her lips with his thumb.<br/>Smirking faintly under the dim lights Noelle nod her head a hint, the touch against her lips finding her drawing a swift breath. The rosy, coral-red lips smooth and warm. Her expression amused at the time. ""I guess you will be busy for a while with what you may be planning. I hope you will be ready for all that waits ahead then.""<br/>Ty sighed and pulled her gently against his chest.  Stroking her hair and cheek, he whispered, ""I'm not sure how I could be.  This is all so sudden.  Amazing things, terrible things.""  He looked down into her eyes then and brushed her lips again, ""Beautiful things.  My life has gotten a lot more interesting all of a sudden.""<br/>She smiled quietly a short moment but leaning against him as the movie kept going, she paid her attention to him alone in that moment, whispering gently. ""While metahumans seem to get interesting lives you are going to push it further still. I can admire that drive. I see a little of myself in it. Just make sure that healer doesn't thank you too much or I'll be angry."" Her tone was teasing again but warm. Her hands moving to hold around him lightly.<br/>Ty laughed softly, utterly delighted at her response.  One hand slipped down to her knee and massaged it softly.  ""Before I even have a chance to thank you properly?  Why would I do that?""<br/>""Oh, I don't know, going to rescue someone trapped by an evil organization, now how on earth would a woman end up wanting to thank a man for something like that?"" She made fun of him in a soft tone, not seeming too terribly concerned but still, shivering a bit at the touch, smiling, seeming to enjoy it at the bit of a tease. ""Though you are right, you better come back here and make sure I get to thank you first, not her."" Her hand caressed his cheek lightly as she gazed at him, the key already vanished into a pocket somewhere, her other hand caressing against one of his arms.<br/>Ty turned a bit closer towards her, the movie completely unnoticed now.  One hand released her knee and just pulled her closer against him around the waist.  His free hand caressed her cheek again, then the curve of her ear.  He dropped it down her blouse and cupped her breast for a moment, grazing her nipple with his thumb, then dropped the hand again to rest on her knee, just bellow her skirt.<br/>His smile warmed and widened, and he leaned in to kiss her again.  ""I'll hold you too that.""<br/>There was a short draw of breath at the touch on her bosom, but she smiled quietly at his words a moment, before pinching on his hand lightly. ""If you plan on starting something now I might say I am not the sort of girl to jump at things on a first date. Of course, the circumstances are anything but ordinary."" She smiled, but seemed almost a little shy for a moment, chuckling faintly and nodding. ""I'll hope you will return safely so I can show you that a promise with me is worth keeping.""<br/>Normally, Ty would have backed off at this point, a little confused as to whether she wanted him to continue or not.  Tonight, though, he felt bold.  More importantly, he felt a trust for Noele, that she was a strong enough girl to say no if she really wanted to and not hold it against him for making her.<br/>""I will,"" he whispered over her lips, still massaging her leg but not moving up yet.  Pressing his lips over hers again, he savored them for a long time.   He stroked his hand up, under her skirt ever so slightly.  ""And maybe I want to find out if you will say that or not.""  His hand slid a bit further u nder her skirt, caressing her silky inner thigh.<br/>Noelle's eyes closed for a moment but her legs relaxed, feeling his touch she showed no intension of pushing his hand away or trying to blcok its path. Her fingers caressing his cheek and brushing on his arm gently in return as she sought to stay quiet as his hand rose, until a sensation of warm, lightly moist skin might be felt instead of perhaps expected piece of cloth.<br/>Ty's cheeks burned at what he found.  He pressed his lips into hers to muffle any sound she might make as he explored her velvet petals for the first time, stroking them  with the tips of his fingers, teasing and ministering.<br/>Her lips were soft but her press against him was a little more insistent at the touch against her petals. Her eyes remained shut but a shiver could be felt on her thighs and on the mound, the fingers touch finding a light slickness coating them as she lifted her hips slightly settling in more comfortably, legs parted to his touch. Letting a soft breath against his lips she whispered. ""I admit I was happy you invited me."" A little shyness laced her teasing words there, a smile on her face as she kissed him.<br/>Ty chuckled softly.  Between kisses, replied, ""I'm glad you came.""  His thumb sought the little nub at the center of her being and one finger pressed into her just a little.  He nipped her earlobe, and then whispered, ""Please come again.""<br/>Shivering at his ministrations and chuckling a hint she smirked, but kept her lips close to one another to quiet her voice. Not that it wasn't trying to escape, a soft voice straining a bit behind closed lips as she shivered. The touch on her nub having her legs tense up and clench a bit towards one another before relaxing again. Her body rising a bit at the touch of a finger pressing into her, but then as she relaxed the tip was given a slick welcome by a velvety path, soft walls around it giving their brush to that finger as she let out a short, soft moan.<br/>The arm around her waist tugged again, urging her closer against his side as his lips returned to hers.  That hand rose to her breast, not attempting to disturb her clothing but going straight to her nipple and pressing into it, rubbing softly.<br/>The one digging inside of her circled now, not in any hurry to forge deeper...  Those recesses would be plumbed to great satisfaction later, after all.<br/>His tongue tasted her lips, then caressed her tongue.<br/>"

As he stood out there though, there was loud noise rising up from the distance, coming closer. In a busy city it was a sound few people even heard, given the altitude involved in addition to the noise of the machinery in such a place, but in the more quiet area, it could be noticed.<br/><br/>There was a chopper in the air. Simple, civilian model that would comfortably house a pilot plus three, maybe four in a pinch. No real markings, black and white hull with black top and white underside, a single red line running in between those two colors, along the length of the chopper. It was headed to the direction of the facility they had just visited a short while ago."

J7 knew this. Hell, it was a commonly known fact in 2284- what a human being perceives as Time is merely a side effect in how a 3D projection of the 2D Info-Space of the grander N-Space lattice perceives it's true surroundings. When reality itself is a hologram of a shadow, things like Time just kind of happen. Which was fine really, who wants to try to process something with N spacial dimensions where N was the number of configurations in the 2D info-space in which all subatomic particles in the universe could be arranged? How many that was really was hard to say, but it was finite- that was important for how the machine worked.<br/><br/>Time Travel. Maybe it was impossible in normal 3-Space but in N-Space it was a simple matter of playing with a few name tags. Go to N-Space, imprint a new pattern into the 2D Info-Space, then reenter 3-Space. If you can manage that anywhere in Space and Time was at your finger tips- though the calculations could get to be a bugger, even with Femto-Quantum Computing.<br/><br/>J7 sat at the helm of the machine, for lack of better N-Space terms. He always liked the view. Being immune to atomic radiation may be a lackluster power in 3-Space but N-Space had radiation in abundance. As a result, he was the only person from his home time of 2284 who could survive long enough to see this view- and it always took his breath away. Every single time.<br/><br/>This trip had been a simple one. A quick errand to 2061, to subtly tip the research of a budding physicist a different direction. Hopefully, the Quantum Bombs dropped in 2077 would be less powerful as a result- meaning more people in 2284. A gamble, but one worth a try.<br/><br/>---<strong>3-Space, Complex 4, Former Cite of New York City, Day 192 of 2284</strong>---<br/><br/>The ship slips into 3-Space like a knife through butter. Just like it should, noise was a sign of a rough transition that could bring in energy from N-Space. Something that wasn't a pleasant thought.<br/><br/>""<strong>Complex 4, this is the H.G. Wells, requesting historical data sync, over.</strong>"" he broadcasts. Speaks is the wrong word, he doesn't actually say anything. A nano-technological colony resting in his speech center catches what he was trying to say and says it for him, feeding it to his clothes for a signal gain, then to the ship, then outward. Technological telepathy, as easy as one ingested capsule.<br/><br/>Nothing. Nothing over the comms. 3-Space engines working fine, he starts exploring the surroundings. Why wasn't Complex 4 answering? The hovering ship crosses a hill of ruins to see. . .<br/><br/>""<strong>Where's Complex 4?</strong>"" J7 switches to wider bands, the historical sync coming automatically when he does. Wait- no it's not, this is just general Network noise. The computer on the H.G. Wells is improvising a history data sync from it.<br/><br/>""<strong>Unidentified ship, this is Complex 3- please identify ship and crew.</strong>"" someone else sends out to the ship, he receives it directly in his head.<br/><br/>Complex 3? J7 knew from experience that they were from where Toronto used to be. What happened to Complex 4?<br/><br/>""<strong>I'm J7, my ship is the H.G. Wells.</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>I've never heard of an H.G. Wells. And the only J7 we have on record died 3 years ago in the Complex 4 Disaster. Who are you?</strong>""<br/><br/>WHAT?<br/><br/>The computer finishes the historical sync with a satisfied beep. What it reads out is nothing short of a nightmare. The physicist's new direction did make the quantum bombs less powerful- but they just built more of them. Worse, the work of the physicist had in this timeline fascinated R9 with Quantum Phase Technology. As a result when they were building the H.G. Wells R9 was somewhere else, and as a result the prototype exploded and took all of Complex 4 with it.<br/><br/>But if the H.G. Wells was never invented in this time-line. . .<br/><br/>""<strong>Wells, check for Chronal Degradation.</strong>"" he thinks loudly to his ship.<br/><br/>""<strong>Checking. . .Chronal Degradation present and at 2%.</strong>"" it sends back.<br/><br/>""<strong>Wells! Emergency Jaunt, Fire the N-Space Refractor!</strong>"" he thinks in a panic.<br/><br/>""<strong>Affirmative, destination?</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>Just start going backwards. I'll work it out as we go.</strong>"" J7 replies hurried. Backwards may not have real meaning in N-Space but the computer knew what he meant. Slipping back into N-Space, the readouts start peeling away dates, sliding from days to months.<br/><br/>""<strong>Warning, Chronal Degradation at 7%, pattern of degradation suggests forced 3-Space landing by 3-Space coordinates year 2150. Odds of an N-Space explosion 42%.</strong>""<br/><br/>An N-Space explosion, not good. An explosion not in 3-Space but up here in the true reality.

Odds of an N-Space Explosion, 89%.</strong>""<br/><br/>The 2012 Barrier? That's . . . perfect actually. A crash landing was less then ideal but it was far enough back. Without a time machine he had to make one more gamble- something far enough back to save the human race. 2012, The First Awakening. 3-Space's first recorded Class Red N-Space shift, though nobody knew what it was exactly at the time. But the people in 2284 knew- it was the first time the rules of reality would be changed forever. It had set up some sort turbulence in 2012 and if J7 played his cards right it would be like running aground on a sandbar- most of the landing systems would be unnecessary. <br/><br/>Working feverishly, a plan starts to form in his head- being sent out as soon as he can get it presentable in a way the computer can understand.<br/><br/>""<strong>Do it,</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>N-Space Explosion, Probability 84%.</strong>""<br/><br/>""<strong>I know, I'm programming in the instructions for the last info-drive burst, then to jettison itself, and shunt to 3-Space before it explodes.

The Chronal Degradation was just too much. Now the H.G. Wells was little more then the cockpit, crashing into 3-Space and streaking across the sky like a shooting star. The stick was fine though, and J7 thanked whatever was out there that he had logged so many hours in simulators.<br/><br/>The streak of fiery light would be seen in the night sky like a beacon, low enough that people were worried about it hitting some of the taller buildings. Worries of another terrorist attack sound, but those that saw it. . .well, no idea what to make of it. It definitely wasn't a plane, but it was definitely artificial.<br/><br/>The crash itself seemed to be over before it started. The grass under his back told him that he had made it outside of city limits, casualties would be minimal. He'd be surprised if he wasn't the only one. The pain was incredible, but told him he was still alive- the H.G. Wells, a good ship to the last.<br/><br/>""<strong>Wells, you did good.</strong>"" he sends out before the ship completely disappears, the universe preventing a paradox.<br/><br/>""<strong>Thank you si-</strong>""<br/><br/>He chuckles a bit. Chronal Degradation takes the last bit of the H.G. Wells as he watches, and the engine- despite leaving N-Space ""first"" would not be seen for about 2 weeks- as an explosion the size of Earth's Moon just outside the orbit of Mars. <br/><br/><em>Hello, people of 2012.

Of course, Paradox's power was pretty much hijacking the control of the device directly, surpassing the digital switch.<br/><br/>Beyond that, as Coral appeared, Paradox's suit's system found an error listing. An error that spread swiftly to the rest of the system. This woman was not in his archive at all. No entry, not in either the public files or the few confidential files he had access to.

I'll just read them too you.""<br/><br/>Pulling a thick blue notebook out of her purse, she begins to dictate out of it.  ""Paranormal Studies Institute is researching metahumans, officially they are not supposed to exist, not as an organisation listed on most common databases. They have funding from a few private sources, mostly wealthy men and women interested in questionable research.<br/>Its organisation is divided to 5 Tiers, with Tier I being the top of the group, and Tiers II and III the project leaders and managers. The last two tiers IV and V reserved for subordinates. The lowest tier not privy to insider information, and the Tier IV only aware of the project they are working with. Tier III having general knowledge of all events occuring within the same region, more or less, but each assigned to their own tasks for most part. Tier II being people high up enough to command a regional branch of the organisation. Tier I is something that most of the workers know little or nothing about. Supposedly there is a small set of superiors that control and guide the organisation as a whole. However, the information about them is limited to Tier II personnel.<br/><br/>The leader of the group is an enigma, but a high up figure was recently seen at this facility, a man called Thomas Blackthorn.<br/><br/>Thomas Blackthorn, a professor of biochemistry and a genius at the age of 28 had completed two different thesis on the subject of human advancement, and was heading for a placement at the top laboratories in the country each competing for his services when a freak incident robbed him of his fiancee and young son. Tragedy seemed to splinter the genius mind but he made a fortune with his patents and discoveries still along the year, but growing increasingly cold in personality, and more reluctant to face the public, Mr. Blackthorn's assets were combined to form the basis of what would be a private research company utilizing his talent as well as discoveries in pursuit of the lofty goal he set back in his earlier years. Human advancement project, with a dedication to his dead wife and son.<br/><br/>He's supposed to be on Tier II of the organisation, answering directly to the boss-(wo)men (Tier I) of the organisation. Ruthless, and he gets the job done. He is supposedly also an Augment.<br/><br/>PSI has been studying metahuman condition ever since the original awakening began, but there are files that indicate that the Tier I personnel might have been aware of the events before they occured, and that preliminary research was already done when things began. Supposedly, the PSI is capable of creating temporary, limited new metahumans of their own, but these talents are very short-lasting, unreliable, and apparently dangerous. Tier III and above is required to gain access to them.<br/><br/>Augments are people capable of using these temporary gifts to some extent. The PSI is trying to learn how to make them permanent, and reverse the neural damage they seem to inflict. Nasty side-effects abound, but the Augment abilities could theoretically be used to create specifically required power once the metahuman condition is better understood. However, given the instabilities, these abilities are not to be used in public if its avoidable to not draw attention.<br/><br/><br/>The nearby facility has an electrified fence, set so that it gives a very painful shock on touch, not deadly but enough to cause severe damage on continued contact. The facility's woods have small monitoring devices, mainly thermal sensors installed. The area past the shield-area of the woods leads to a field with firearms range. There have been supposedly various weapons tests in the past there, but they are mainly trying to keep people away. To the point of actually leaking a few false rumors of actual injuries and brutality at the facility, making even those who would dig deep to find something stop at finding some dirt.<br/><br/>The facility's outer perimeter has a few token guards, but they are Tier V personnel. Including people that believe in the whispers of brutality before their time.<br/><br/>The actual facility is supposedly protected by a biometric scanner on high-security doors, and housing a practically medical ward for the prisoners within it. The metahumans undergroing examination and study. The place also contains a basement laboratory area with machinery necessary for the Augments.<br/><br/>The security on lower levels relies on Augments and apparently some metahumans have even been tagged for conversion of some sort.<br/><br/>The whole facility's weak point would have to be its old service road built at the back of the place. It leads to a secondary gate with a tree-mounted thermal sensors as well as an old camera, but that said camera being off-line most of the time, only activating if a sensor is triggered. Past them, the service road leads to the back of the facility, unmonitored.""<br/><br/>Pausing, she adds.  ""My throat's a bit dry, I think I could use a glass of water."""

Security has its own alarm shutdown, a simple numerical code of <em>8847</em>, there's a password to most computer systems in the building, at least the more accessible areas, marked down as <em>Century</em> and last one is for the doors to the more secure area, marked down as <em>Ascendancy</em>.<br/><br/>There's also a bit of knowledge that guard lockers have their individual number codes to open them, and individual workstations required passwords to get the user profiles open on them, but the main passwords were there already. The doctor's cellphone, if searched, would provide a picture of a kitten eating its meal, with a cute collar. No passwords, no written text saved that might hint at such.</div></div>"

Threats to off both Myriad and this Hades figure in Europe.

As for Paradox himself, it appeared that he had caused a bit of an 'interference' in this time beyond just what his actions would do, the arrival had drawn forth a small business calling itself Chrono Consortium that was supposedly trying to work out how time-travel could be made viable, though it was a laughing stock of much of the business and science magazines. The fact remained, someone was supporting and funding their research.<br/><br/>Religious anti-meta fanatics were facing some trouble when more tolerant, good-hearted religious folks stood up. There could always be an ugly, vocal minority in almost any group, but when a larger, more benevolent majority stood up, it made the extremists look even worse. It seemed that if things went well, the new religion might actually smooth things over. Unfortunately, history was very hazy when it came to religion.<br/><br/>Pantheon in turn had claimed to be Living Gods, but from what could be seen in later records suggested they were metahumans with powers fitting various deities but little actual 'divine interference' showing. Further more, it was a mixed up gathering of Norse Myths and Greek Myths, Egyptian Myths and Oriental Myths, and even Native American Myths. What was obvious was the fact they'd gathered heavy-hitters, and amassed what later documents marked up as 'Living Weapons of Mass Destruction'.<br/><br/><strong>Myriad</strong><br/><br/>""I am here because I believe in this."" Coral smiled to Myriad. ""You are doing a great job, and I think that getting in the way of those that would exploit these new powers is most important. Reminding people that we are people too.

Coral had a peek in various minds from time to time after all, so she could catch on the general mood of things.<br/><br/>""Miss?"" It was the young woman who had been electrocuted earlier that spoke up first, the woman carrying the title 'Healer'. ""I was listening in a little before, and if you would agree there's a hospital near New York City that has strong moral leader on its board and they are a private company, and they were very keen on having me there helping out those otherwise categorised as terminal patients. Giving new life to those who would have otherwise had no hope, for whom modern medicine could do no more without risking so horrible complications it wasn't worth it anymore. I think they showed empathy that I think that a lot of the others that were with me at that facility could use, but of course, if you'd rather not trust in a hospital, I'm in your debt and will come where you will lead."""

A light appeared ahead of Tatsui, and it was fast approaching.

No, I haven't shown you the best just yet.""</strong>He bucked his hips against her, his member hitting the top walls of her cunt.<strong>""Maybe I should clean that mouth of yours out though.""</strong><br/><br/>Removing one hand from Mei Feng's abused nipples, he pressed his palm against the side of the stone slab. The stone collar around her neck fell back into the earth, leaving a red band around her neck.<strong>""But all you have to do, is tell me who your friends are.""</strong>Byakko said, his fingers returning to massaging the air bender's abused breasts. The calloused hands were gentle yet strong, comforting and soothing.<strong>""Just tell me who they are, and this will be over. That's all you have to do little pet.""</strong>"

Epic troll-city with all the burn cards combined with Dark Room.<br/><br/>Good combo that I just pulled out: I have a Solar Flare Dragon in the side deck, so before the duel I swap a Blaster out for another Dragon so I have two. On the field I have both Solar Flares, Volcanic Hammerer, Dark Room of Nightmare and Blaze Accelerator on the field. In the hand I have Volcanic Scattershot. I use the effect of Scattershot with Blaze Accelerator, send two more to the grave, -2400. Plus I already had 5 Volcanics in grave so I use Volcanic Hammerer eff, -1300. And the duel ends when you end your turn and both Solar Flares effect activates, -1600. Next turn, activate Kurenai and put it on Hammerer, -2700. Guy ends turn and then immediately end turn too, thats game.<br/><br/><br/>7000 damage in one turn. Pretty brutal."

Early<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 31<br/><br/><strong>Position</strong>: Captain<br/>Although he can fly the ship, you will only rarely find Captain Early at the helm or even on the bridge. Instead, he will be all over the ship, ‘captaining’. This entails snooping around, bullying people, making sure that repairs are performed in a timely manner, negotiating with prospective business partners and getting the ship out of (and sometimes into) Alliance trouble.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Braxton Thomas Early was born on Summerfair to a family of wealthy ranchers. He was a sickly child and a wimpy teenager and, consequently, he was often picked on by other kids and his brothers. For a while, he retreated into himself and supported the idea of independence – if only on his book shelf.<br/><br/>When his father passed away, Braxton was 23. The ranch passed to his oldest brother and from the moment he took over, Braxton knew that he could not live under the new management. As a young man, he left the family house and studied politics on Osirus, fancying himself to be the forerunner of a new generation of local administrators and planetary elects. However, he quickly came into conflict with the prevalent alliance-centered school of thought and, after several heated arguments with professors and students, he was kicked out.<br/><br/>In response, he tried to join the fiercely pro-independence militia of Shadow but could not pass the physical requirements tests. After a year adrift, he finally managed to get into space-arm of the militia where he rose up to Lieutenant of the reserve in a supply company, flying an aging but sturdy Trans-U. It seemed like he had finally found his calling but fate and politics stepped in again. The Alliance decided to ‘centralize’ all fleet supply in their attempt to weaken the military position of the border planets and Braxton was given the choice to either serve under an alliance-appointed officer or receive his honorable discharge.<br/><br/>Now in his late twenties, Braxton was again adrift without a job or a purpose. The independence movement was stirring but no one was ready to raise men and ships for a fight, yet. And he was certainly unwilling to return to his family farm and live under his brother’s rule. In the end, he sold his share of his heritage to his brothers so that he could afford a place where he could finally be free:<br/><br/>A ship of his own.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Braxton likes to<em>talk</em>about freedom, about equal chances and opportunities. After all, it all adds up in his political treatises and books. In the real world, the independence movement he supports is fighting not only for freedom but also for maintaining the rights and privileges of local landowners and gentry like himself. On Summerfair where he grew up, slavery was legal, commonplace and a major source of labor and wealth for the local landowners. Consequently, ‘Freedom’, for Braxton includes the notion of private property which needs to be protected from the greedy hand of the state. And ‘property’ in this case can well mean…people.<br/><br/><br/>Braxton Early is a southern gentleman: He keeps his word, respects the ladies and treats his men and his crew well enough. But in a darker twist, as a victim of bullying himself, Braxton finds he enjoys exercising power over people who are<em>beneath</em>him.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>Basically what we see in Firefly. Violence and crime, making a living out on the rim by less-than-legal means. ‘Hard’ negotiation at gunpoint or with threats of other unpleasantness would probably be my favorite.<br/><br/>As the GM, I will try to keep my character a bit more in the background. Captain Early will be the one to give you directions and a purpose, but he won’t give you solutions. Those are for you to find. He will also be the one to maintain discipline on the ship. <br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>I’d like my character to have sexual encounters of the nastier kind and, if at all possible, as the dominant part. I’d like the captain to have a slave girl who adores him. And if she doesn’t then, well, as long as she obeys… <br/><br/>Violent rape kinda repulses me, though. Consequently, the Captain prefers to push a girl into a subservient position where she can’t really rebuke his advances. Then, he slowly – gently even – forces himself onto her. All the better if she later can’t even deny that a part of her enjoyed it.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 1</td><td>Presence 4</td><td>Knowledge 3</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 3</td><td>Manipulation 3</td><td>Wits 3</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 2</td><td>Composure 3</td><td>Perception 3</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Melee   Archery   Throwing   Brawl 1  Dodge 3  Gunslinger 2  Rifles   Heavy weapons<br/>Stealth 1  Athletics   Alertness 2  Survival 1  Riding 1<br/>Empathy 2  Subterfuge   Intimidation 3  Socialize 1  Seduction 2  Etiquette   <br/>Medic 1  Merchant 3  Pilot 1  Mechanic 1  Hacking   Petty crime<br/>Pain-Tolerance    Spacer 1<br/>Politics 1<br/><br/>(When you are satisfied with your character’s skills, you might want to delete those that you invested no points in to make the list easier to read. <br/><br/>If there is a skill you would like to learn but it isn’t on the regular skill list, say ‘botany’ or ‘housekeeping’, then you can still learn it.

Having sold his share of his family’s ranch, it’s his <em>home</em>.<br/><br/><strong>Braxton Early</strong>(Captain)<br/>Even though running the ship isn’t always easy, Braxton is mostly happy with his life and his choices. Maybe he will find a nice woman and settle down some far-off day, though… <br/><br/><strong>Richard Dawson</strong> (First Mate)<br/>Richard is a good, loyal man and Braxton treats his second in command with respect, even if he isn’t a real ‘spacer’ like Braxton or Lance. <br/><br/><strong>Lance Daniels</strong> (Engineer)<br/>Braxton respects the man as a fellow skipper and good engineer. They usually get along fine, unless of course, they are debating politics. But by and large, Braxton has resigned to ‘agreeing to disagree’.<br/><br/><strong>Keridwyn ""Keri"" Jones</strong> (Pilot)<br/>The captain likes the independent-minded young pilot, and he respects her for her skills. Usually, when it comes to matters of piloting or navigation, he simple lets her decide.<br/><br/><strong>Mya Richone</strong> (Ships’s surgeon)<br/>Braxton <em>really</em> enjoys having Mya onboard as an indentured girl. She is the best medic he can ever hope to have and there are also the ‘fringe benefits’ of having her on board. <br/><br/><strong>Girias ""Cookie"" Bomban</strong> (Grunt)<br/>Girias is creepy, but he is loyal, and that is more than Braxton can say for most of the rest of the crew. They probably don’t have much to talk about, but that suits them both just fine.<br/><br/><strong>Sue</strong> (Cook &amp; Grunt)<br/>As a ranch hand, Sue shares a bit of the captain’s cultural background and the two usually get along well. A recent encounter at the dinner table has strained their relationship somewhat. <br/><br/><strong>Philemon ""Phil"" Adricus</strong> (Scoundrel)<br/>Braxton probably admires Phil more than Phil admires him. As a former independence agent, Phil has the captain’s utmost respect. As a slave owner, Braxton is rather suspicious to the freedom-loving Phil.<br/><br/><strong>Elfi</strong> (Ship’s slave)<br/>Although Elfi tries very hard to please him, Braxton rarely has a kind word for her (and sometimes all she gets is a nasty swipe with the cattle cane). Instead of making her resent him, it seems to make her try even harder. On the whole, Braxton takes Elfi for granted and doesn’t give her – or her feelings – much thought, though. <br/><br/><strong>Serenity Sun Kwan</strong> (Companion)<br/>Braxton is really starting to regret his arrangement with Serenity. With her witty tongue and winning personality, she is undermining his authority more anyone else on board and her political views are as loathsome to him as his are to her. He can’t kick her out, though: she is always paying her rent on time and their contract still has some months in it. And, of course, Serenity has the same effect on him that she has on all the men (and many of the women) on board.<br/><br/><strong>Isi Smith</strong> (Engineer’s apprentice)<br/>Isi’s intelligence and eagerness to learn is obvious. However, Braxton hasn’t had the chance to really talk to the girl and get a peek at the real her.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Personal Items</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The captain’s cabin isn’t huge, but it is a bit bigger and a bit nicer than what everyone else has on board, safe perhaps for Lance. The walls are mostly covered with book shelves. Hidden behind one of them is a safe that contains his money (if any) and secret independence codes. Only Lance and the captain know where it is and only the captain knows the combination or what’s inside.<br/><br/>Although he can dress like a gentleman if the event requires it, his usual attire is a rancher’s long coat, broad-rimmed hat and riding boots. His fine shirt and red silk scarf still give him away as someone ‘better’, though.<br/><br/>The captain usually wears his trusty six shooter in a quick-draw holster on the right side of his belt. On the left, he wears a cattle cane (basically a short riding crop, but with a pair of long leather tongues instead of a slapper at the top), which Elfi hates.<br/><br/>He also carries a short-range radio that is patched into the ships public announcement system. He wears the old fashioned but rugged micro on the left shoulder like some modern-day police officers do.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Advancements</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/>Awarded <strong>9XP</strong> for Episode 1 (the ‘milk run’).<br/>Fooled around a lot with Mya:<br/>Stamina 1-&gt;2 (6XP)<br/>Seduction 0-&gt;1 (1XP)<br/>Seduction 1-&gt;2 (2XP)<br/><br/>Unspent XP: <strong>0</strong><br/></div></div>"

30<br/><br/><strong>Orientation</strong>: Bi  (As is common and required for all Companions, but she doesn't mind either.)<br/><br/><strong>Occupation</strong>: Companion<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Serenity is everything a Companion needs to be and more.  Despite her rather rough start in escaping a slaver attack on her home world only to be captured later and sold to a Guild Hall, (which really wasn't a bad thing for her in the end,) she adjusted well since she was in all honesty too young to remember her real family.  The Hall and those within became her family and despite having been a slave sold to their Hall, she was freed almost immediately since Serenity was quickly discovered to have a natural talent for their ways.  Perhaps it was because of her own history which had been full of pain of both physical and emotional trauma that made her so receptive.  Whatever the case, she has gained a positive reputation as being one of the more sought after of her order's ranks, and Serenity loves that she's able to help those in need whatever the case might be.  Do not let her appearance fool you however into a false sense of security.  She is quite skilled in defending herself and has proven that on several occasions since hiring on to this newest ship to get away for a while and see the stars, more out of a desire to broaden her understanding of the Verse than any sense of adventure like some of those onboard.  Associating with less than savory folk doesn't deter her much either.  The only drawback is that she will not associate with slavers or those that keep them unless persuaded, possibly at gunpoint.  Even then that's a risky proposition since even in the black, there is no fury like a woman scorned.  However, she will make an exception if said slave keeper is kind to those he keeps, otherwise you best expect a knife in the dark.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>;  Despite being an agricultural world that was considered by many, even then, to be a sacred place of sorts given the rich abundance of food that the place produced, slavers were still a problem from time to time especially since Hera was on one of the main trade lanes going back and forth to the Border worlds and the Alliance Worlds.  Either way you sliced it, the Verse it seemed had a cruel sense of humor and Serenity as she had been named after the valley her mother born her in, was not to have the same serene life that her name derived its meaning.  Even as a young child she was a peaceful, loving baby, seeming able to calm people just by being around her.  It was a gift that would serve her well into her adult life as slavers attacked when she was 2 and while her family managed to get offworld, they seemed quite persistent and managed to board the ship before taking all hands that were still alive to theirs before heading to the nearest world that would accept live cargo such as they.  Fortunately for Serenity, she was sold to a Guild Hall and freed almost the same day.  She was raised by the others in the Hall and when she was 12 years old, was given the choice to learn from them and become one of them.  Despite missing parents and family she couldn't really remember anyway, Serenity didn't hesitate in giving her decision to join the Hall.  She excelled in nearly everything they could teach her, and before long had a reputation as being of an empathic sort that was hard to come by even though all Companions were the same in that they were good at what they did, and that was helping people in their own ways.  Sure the sex that came with the job wasn't always fun, but Serenity never once had to mark a client as a black lister until she was 24.  Then for some reason she got three in a row and almost quit if not for a passing ship's crew she found quite intriguing after meeting them all.<br/><br/>It was from there that she became a traveling Companion but she mostly decided to stay on the Guild Hall controlled world that she had been raised in otherwise.  Whenever a passing ship came down to visit however, she'd be one of the first to examine and interview the crew onboard, seeing if her talents and personality would be a hindrance or a positive thing if she decided to travel with them.  So far she's been on several ships and so far no mishaps have happened although she has traveled with some rather unsavory yet wonderful people overall.  The only major rule she has ever said out front to anyone that was interested in hiring her along for their trips was that she would NEVER deal in flesh since she herself had been a part of that very trade, and not as a slaver.  Those that persist often get a closed door real quick.<br/><br/><div

character participate in:</strong>  Serenity doesn't have much experience with the rougher kinds of sex overall, and while I myself have no problem with Noncon, don't expect her to enjoy it much at all.  Beyond that I'm pretty open minded so long as there's no scat, watersports, etc involved.  No mutilations or death either thank you very much.  Just ask and you'll likely receive a yes more times than not.  ;D<br/><br/>As far as RP scenes without the sex are concerned however, she is a Companion so a lot of interactions both in and out of her shuttle will be required if you ask me.  If going out on a job, as long as her reputation isn't put at risk too much, I don't have a problem with her getting her feet wet with the life of petty crime.  Also, if there are any clues as to where her parents were sold and all that, and they are eventually found, whatever their status happens to be, (especially if Braxton helps to find them even,) it will do a lot to calm her down in regards to the whole slavery business or make her even more volatile than ever depending on how the situation is handled and how things afterward are handled.<br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>""It is required reading material only since most Companions shy away from pain on a moral grounds alone.  Pain is at most times counterproductive to what we do as Companions as a whole, but some very specific clients do appreciate a firm hand and those willing to provide are among our ranks.  While it is not something I prefer, I have indulged the more light variations of BDSM over the course of my life.  Blindfolds, light to medium bondage, some soft spankings/caning/flogging, etc.  But mostly I prefer to indulge in the more sensory play of things such as running ice over a person's flesh to stimulate their nerves into bliss, among other such things of this sort.  I am willing to receive this kind of treatment as well, but only if I trust said partner and client, otherwise we shall have to see.""<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div

Braxton Early.  As much as I might hate the man himself, he picked a good and sturdy ship to help get me and those that have signed on from place to place and I find I quite enjoy the others' company almost as much as the ship itself.  I might not know as much as I'd prefer in regards to piloting, but if I asked nicely I'm sure Keri at least would be happy to show me a few things in regards to the ship which I find is quite beautiful in her own way.""<br/><br/><strong>Captain Braxton Early:</strong>  ""If I ever catch Captain Braxton harming so much as a hair on his slave's head, I will personally end his life, contract or no.  I was a slave, my family I have not seen since that terrible day, and there will be no power in this Verse that could stop me if I see so much as a bruise on another's skin when it comes to such matters.  Despite his opinions on the matter, (which he states quite loudly most likely to annoy me no doubt,) I do realize he most likely knows no other way, having come from a world and a life where such practices were normal.  Either way, despite his habits and his practices, even I have to admit he has a certain southern gentleman charm about him that I find....almost arousing, if I was in the habit of mating with dogs.""<br/><br/><strong>Richard Dawson:</strong>  ""Losing the family farm and everything one has worked towards their entire life is something that is hard to recover from.  I can understand why then that Richard only associates with me on a purely professional level, but if possible I'd see him more at ease around me if no one else.  Even a man such as Richard needs time to be himself without the strict work habits he seems to follow almost as religiously as any man of faith I've ever met.  He's almost borderline workaholic and such a thing isn't healthy even on a ship like the Line where tending to everything, even if he is First Mate to the Captain, can drive a man insane if he doesn't take the time to enjoy himself as well.""<br/><br/><strong>Sue;</strong>  ""Sue is one of the better cooks I've come across during my travels as a Companion and I would partake of his fixings any time they are doled out.  He might be a bit more of a simpler sort on some matters and he seems to be alike the Captain a little too much for my liking, but he at least is a good man overall as far as I can figure.  He has not broken a promise that I've ever heard him make thus far and while he doesn't mind slavery, he at least doesn't own one of his own so....I can forgive him a few of his looks he has cast at Elfi from time to time as long as that is all they are.""<br/><br/><strong>Lance Daniels:</strong>  ""Lance is not one that likes to be alone, although why that might be I have not been able to tell as of yet.  Perhaps it's nothing more than a personal preference but I feel it might be something more.  I could simply be reading too much into him out of my natural affinity for knowing people and what they truly desire.  Whatever the case, overall, despite associating with Captain Early, Lance himself seems like a generally likeable fellow and whenever he comes to visit, (which is actually a little too often even for me,) I do find I feel at ease around the engineer.  Besides, he takes good care of my shuttle and I'm sure if I asked he'd be happy to show me a few things in the way of mechanics.  I just have to get to know him a bit more first is all to feel comfortable in doing so.""<br/><br/><strong>Mya Richone:</strong>  ""Miya is realizing that she's a submissive, that is clear to see in all that she does.  She had after all willingly signed her indentured servant's contract with Early, even though at the time it was at the point of dying out in the black from what I've gathered from the others about her.  I am not blind to anything regarding the activities onboard the ship and know that Miya willingly serves despite the rather coerced cooperation at the time of her rescue.  She wishes to be stuck in the position she's in for her own personal enjoyment, and while it's not the most ideal thing she could have done, neither can I blame her since sometimes, submitting to another's will is the only way to be free.  Beyond this, she is an artist when it comes to surgery and saving a person's life and there is few that I'd trust more with my physical well being than her.""<br/><br/><strong>Girias ""Cookie"" Bomban:</strong> ""Men of violence such as Girias are easy to maneuver about as needed, but there is something about this particular one that says he is more than a simple brute with a gun fetish.  His inability or unwillingness to sleep like normal people begs the question as to what the case might be in regards to his insomnia.  Whatever the case, he is intriguing regardless.""<br/><br/><strong>Philemon Adricus:</strong>  ""Phil as I've come to call him is quite the good man.  He doesn't support Early's practices of keeping Miya and Elfi, and while he doesn't have much of an opinion regarding the growing tensions between the Alliance and the Independents, I have learned that he supported the latter before he was faced with a court martial and almost sentenced.  A Companion never kisses and tells as the saying goes and I would never betray the fact to anyone, especially Early, that he has begun to teach Elfi to read, something I congratulate quite a bit on his part since it shows he cares quite a bit in his own way.  If he ever asked, I would be hard pressed to deny him an evening of my company....my rather intimate company to be precise and not just our talks we have at present.""<br/><br/><strong>Elfi</strong>  ""Poor, poor Elfi.  I might not know how deep her obedience to Captain Early runs but I have a pretty fair idea.  I've seen the slave pens, the way those that consider themselves 'better' than their supposed property can be, and I can at least understand why Elfi is so determined to please the bastard.  That kind of mindless devotion is what makes me the angriest whenever I meet with the girl or she comes to my shuttle to clean up my chambers.  I do my best to grin and bear it but I do have to chase her off gently more times than I'd like since I prefer to take care of my own things.  Beyond that it's pretty clear that she's far more in awe of me than Keri, which usually sets me on edge since that kind of worship is expected of a goddess, and I would never claim to be as such to anyone, especially to someone like Elfi.  I shall do what I can for her but it is unlikely I'll make much progress, especially with Braxton running the ship and Elfi herself.""<br/><br/><strong>Keridwyn 'Keri' Jones;</strong>  ""Despite being a bit crazy behind the helm, Keri is a study in calm, especially under pressure.  Even I, a Companion, could learn a few things from the likes of her in maintaining one's cool and composure, although I think our methods are too far apart to really mesh in all honesty.  Regardless, she has no opinion regarding the matter of the Alliance and the Border worlds or slavery for that matter, and that I believe makes her easy to be around, at least easier although a part of me does wish she WOULD pick a side, just so we'd have more to talk about whenever I do come out of my shuttle or she comes to me.  Still, one cannot have everything so I shall simply make due.  I can tell whatever the case that Keri is in awe of what I am, but that in and of itself is nothing new in some regards.  What is surprising that she isn't envious or jealous which I have had to deal with in the past which makes me a bit uneasy, although being insulted just makes me angry so it is better than what I get at times from certain people.""<br/><br/><strong>Isobel Smith;</strong>  ""I was sold as a slave when I was 2 years old, yet I was most fortunate to have been sold to a Companion Guild Hall where I learned all that I would ever need.  Isobel was not so fortunate from what I've been able to get from her and from my few information contacts people like myself tend to gather, like old socks.  Regardless, I can almost sense her hidden pain at losing all she knew to become what she is now, and I wonder what the rest of her story might be?  Whether I find out or not in the days to come is yet to be seen, but I will try and help her, hopefully before it's too late.""</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Equipment/Personal Items</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Besides the obvious shuttle craft that all Companions tend to take wherever they go, docking with whatever transport or cargo ship they become a part of, Serenity herself has a few items that are not as typical for a Companion.  The bed, the fine silk sheets, and other items of the same that are designed to instill a sense of peace and comfort to any that visit her are there of course, but those that aren't seen such as the flash bombs designed as incense sticks, the hidden fencing blade she keeps close at hand whenever she needs a bit of personal protection whenever she's planetside with the crews of whatever ship she happens to be on which are normally not as savory as most people she regularly associates with given her respected status and reputation, and two fighting daggers she keeps on her person at all times except when she's...ahem....in the middle of Companion business, (i.e, when her clothes are scattered about her chambers along with that of her current client,) those she keeps readily available in case the need should ever arise to use them which have thankfully been few and far between thus far given her very careful selection process along with the Guild resources of course which do part of the work for her.  She still does her own research just to be on the safe side.<br/><br/>Her room itself is very well organized, everything having its place and its purpose.  She keeps a number of massage oils and scented candles, as well as a few pairs of handcuffs, both fuzzy and otherwise, as well as rope for those into the more kinkier types of sex but she doesn't deal in pain normally.  Blindfolds as well as a collection of lingerie like outfits can be found hung up in her wardrobe, but she also has many regular if fancier outfits that would be considered society appropriate, both bought with her own money as well as given to her by very grateful clients, among other gifts of the sort of course.  Such examples can easily be seen by hand crafted sculptures, paintings, very rare books and other literature, among other items of precious worth both in the monetary sense and the more personal variety, mostly more personal so Early doesn't get any ideas mostly.<br/><br/>Serenity does keep a hidden bolt hole at the very back of her wardrobe of very personal items from her former life on Hera that she was able to collect on her travels, having managed to claim most of them in one trip back to her home world when on one of her first trips as a Companion.  A holo locket with pictures of her folks and herself as a baby crafted in gold for the most part is her most precious personal belonging.  Beyond that she has a few old child's storybooks that she was given by the current owners of her former home that they said had been found in her old bedroom.  While she is far too old for them now, she has still kept them due to how precious they are to her, of a childhood she barely remembers but was robbed of all the same, along with the warm embrace and love of her mother and father to boot.  She is still trying to find them despite knowing it is quite unlikely by now.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div

This quiet time of joy came to an end when she was kidnapped by parties unknown even to the Guild.<br/><br/>Sophie thinks that perhaps two years passed in the Academy.  It was a place of intensity and rigorous work but if you asked her she could not say quite what she did there.  She does recall learning the arts of pleasing men and woman with her wit and body.  All this ended when she was rescued by a man named Sue.  He was partnered with a familiar looking woman who died during her rescue from the Facility.  Sue and his partner were paid to rescue her by a woman who called herself Sophie's aunt.<br/><br/>Sophie and her aunt Elissa moved about quite often in the three months or so that they lived together.  Her aunt never really explained much about why she had Sophie rescued or even how she was actually Sophie’s aunt.  Sophie was curious of course but was told not to worry about it and happily spent her time reading and letting her aunt perform all kinds of fun games and tests with her.<br/><br/>This all ended when Sophie was sent away rather hurriedly to visit her 'uncle' Sue on a ship.  Sophie noticed a fire and explosions in her block as she left but thought nothing of it.  When she arrived on the ship she threw herself at her handsome uncle and into the fascinating crew of her new home.<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/c/c4/Sophie_Standing.jpg/170px-Sophie_Standing.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Sophie is almost a stereotypical nymph.  She is uninhibited and exhibitionist and loves the company of men and woman.  She is docile, curious, flirtatious, constantly, insatiably horny, and eager to please.  Sophie is not at all shy.  Quite beautiful in a youthful way she looks to be no more than 16 years old but a very sexy 16.  She flips between different submissive stereotypes (slave, pet, daughter, nymph) and periods of being ""normal.""<br/><br/>Sophie finds that she likes a strong, dominant hand and eagerly seeks out those who can take 'care' of her.  A natural submissive she is willing to be talked or pushed into just about any situation.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>I would like to see Sophie flirt, flit and have fun throughout the ship.  She should provide a sexy comic relief interspersed with serious interactions with others.  There will be strange flashes of something else deep inside.<br/><br/>I would like to have opportunities to explore her hidden sides related to her training.  This would be entirely GM driven.<br/><br/>Lastly I would like to see her used and dominated by whoever finds her attractive.<br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>I love the scenes of dominance and mastery.  I hope to find daddies, uncles and masters who will teach me the ways of womanhood.  Violence up to a point is exciting and especially as part of 'play'.<br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 1</td><td>Presence 4</td><td>Knowledge 1</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 1</td><td>Manipulation 2</td><td>Wits 1</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 1</td><td>Composure 1</td><td>Perception 2</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Melee   Archery   Throwing   Brawl   Dodge   Gunslinger   Rifles   Heavy weapons<br/>Stealth 2  Athletics   Alertness   Survival   Riding   Driving<br/>Empathy 1  Subterfuge   Intimidation   Socialize 2  Seduction 4  Etiquette 1<br/>Medic   Merchant   Pilot   Mechanic   Hacking   Petty crime <br/>Pain-Tolerance    Spacer <br/>House keeping 1<br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> relationships</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The Line (Ship)<br/>The ship (and its crew) are a source of wonder and adventure.  She has butterflies in her stomach and feels nice and tingly down below when she thinks of all the fun she will have.<br/><br/>(Crew included to be filled in later when Sophie has really had a chance to meet them and come to know them)<br/><br/>Braxton Early(Captain)<br/><br/>Richard Dawson (First Mate)<br/><br/>Lance Daniels (Engineer)<br/><br/>Keridwyn ""Keri"" Jones (Pilot)<br/><br/>Mya Richone (Ships’s surgeon)<br/><br/>Girias ""Cookie"" Bomban (Grunt)<br/><br/>Sue (Cook &amp;

class=""floatleft"">(http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae316/kckolbe/tumblr_machwf9sLt1qiyepco1_500.png)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Lance Daniels<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 32<br/><br/><strong>Position</strong>: Engineer<br/>He spends a lot of time in the upper and lower engine rooms, since that is where the majority of his tasks require him to be, but he is also responsible for the upkeep of the shuttles and the cockpit equipment.  In the case of the cockpit and companion shuttle, he'll hang around for a lot longer than he has to for the company unless ""kicked out"" or ignored long enough to become bored.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Lance had a fairly straightforward, middle-class upbringing well inside the Core Worlds.  After part of a proper education ended by lack of study habits, Lance decided to join the Alliance, and found he enjoyed it well enough, volunteering for the longer hauls on cargo birds when he could.  He lucked out on a couple and found a pilot that enjoyed company as much as he did, and he learned a bit about piloting as well.  He saved up quite a bit of money and once he got out managed a small business working on his own, running a small freighter by himself.<br/><br/>He did a few cargo runs for Mr. Early, whose cargo was always legal and fairly straightforward.  They talked business a few times, as Mr. Early liked knowing a bit about those he worked with, and Lance admitted that he didn't enjoy working alone or doing all the books, job hunting, etc.<br/><br/>A few months after one of the cargo runs, Lance was contacted by Mr. Early, asking him if he'd be willing to check out a craft he was thinking of buying.  Lance was surprised to discover that not only was it not a recreational craft, but it was a functional Alliance Patrol Boat.  He confirmed that it was space-worthy and then Mr. Early proposed a partnership.  Lance, as a veteran of the Alliance, was able to fill out the forms for purchasing Alliance military equipment, and Braxton was able to afford the majority of the price tag and a couple of bribes.  Lance sold his small freighter and went into business as engineer of The Line, receiving an increased share of the profits.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Very bright and very lazy.  He dislikes being alone, and generally is willing to go a bit out of his way for sake of company.  While not wealthy or particularly well-bred, he doesn't fit in too well with fringer types, something that has come to chafe at him given that an increasing percentage of the crew has a rural background.  Lance clearly enjoys creature comforts, good cortex access, and the company of anyone who doesn't outright bother him.  He refers to himself as an engineer rather than mechanic, something that he knows earns a chuckle from the lower class types, but it doesn't bother him.  He does not like making difficult decisions or managing things, so even though he is partnered with Braxton, he has no more responsibility or authority than any other crew member, and is only third in line of command should something go wrong.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div

in:</strong><br/>Give him a challenge.  Shit breaks constantly and I want there to be times where if something doesn't get fixed quickly things will get very bad.  In addition, I hope all kinds of other challenges rear their heads, forcing him to be resourceful or fold.<br/><br/>As for RP, I look forward to pseudo relationships, whether they be an arrangement with Serenity, a cuddle-buddy with Keri, a conflicted use of Elfi (would take a little while for that one), or use of Mya (whose status and personality would result in somewhat less guilt).  I also expect him to rather heavily play devil's advocate for the Alliance, given the amount of independence-backing types on the ship.<br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>Any sex with Lance will have to be consensual, though definition of consent may become shady if he ever considers Elfi.  He is not as likely to participate in BDSM-type activities, though could be persuaded

on something like this is not to be passed up.  Fast, durable, and not the kind of craft people wanna mess with or ask too many questions about.  Granted, in a few years repairs will start getting pretty expensive, and we'll need a second engineer, but for now there's plenty of room for profit if we play it right."" <br/><br/><strong>Captain, Braxton Early (SatanKlaus):</strong> ""I was pretty surprised when I heard he was looking to get into the transport business.  After all, he'd always seemed happy enough paying me to haul for him.  I sometimes think he did it just so he could call himself captain.  He enjoys the authority more than I am comfortable with, and sometimes I regret giving him complete control of the ship.  Whenever I worked for an officer that enjoyed authority that much, he turned out to be the kind that shouldn't have it.  He never tried to cheat me or stick me with a bad deal, and he's always treated me like enough of an equal even though he's been my employer before and ship captain now, so I might just be over thinking things.  I do that sometimes."" <br/><br/>""I don't know what his plan is, and I've given up asking.  I know he wants to make money, and I know he is smart enough to figure out a way to make it happen.  Still, it's harder to see the benefit of some of the people he's brought on board, except that they don't seem any more attached to the Alliance than he is.""  <br/><br/><strong>First Mate, Richard Dawson (Jecter):</strong> ""Hiring Richard made no sense to me.  Well, that's not fair.  Phil made no sense.  Plenty of captains choose first mates based on personality or friendship, but as far as I can tell he and the captain don't go that far back.  On top of that, he doesn't seem to know much about flying.  He says he's worked on a salvage ship before, and I believe him there, since he isn't oblivious when it comes to how much certain parts are worth, but he has no clue when it comes to maintenance or piloting.  I imagine he knows more about black market business, so maybe Braxton just wanted someone to work those kinds of deals.""<br/><br/><strong>Pilot, Keridwyn ""Keri"" Jones (Caela):</strong> ""I'm not entirely sure how much Keri gets paid, but I hope she earns more than about half the crew.  We could lose any two people easier than we could lose her, not counting myself.  I spend a fair bit of time in the bridge talking to her while I do checks on the comms, flight controls and indicators.  We usually end up chatting for a while.  She usually seems happy to see me.  We are, after all, the only two crew members without some type of independence sympathy.  Well, I suppose Mya as well, but I'm not entirely sure she counts as crew.  I think she likes me sometimes, but wonder if she just thinks I'm cute.  And not...not cute as in attractive.  More like a puppy.  Not a particularly flattering thought.  She's a sweet girl, though."" <br/><br/><strong>Security, Girias ""Cookie"" Bomban (Koekje):</strong> ""Well, he doesn't know how to fly or maintain a ship, and he has a criminal record that's bound to raise flags, but at least he's an asshole.  And he's independent-friendly.  Oh well.  He stays out of the way most of the time."" <br/><br/><strong>Security, Sue (Vin26m):</strong> ""Well, I don't give him a hard time for having a girl's name, and he doesn't give me a hard time for having a girl's toughness.  I wasn't too thrilled to meet him at first, given that Captain Braxton had found an excuse to hire yet another ranch hand with Independent sympathies, but he turned out all right.  In addition to looking like he can hold his own in a fight, he's pretty quick on the flight controls and can handle basic takeoffs/landings.  I usually get him to help me out in the engine room when I need an extra set of eyes or if I have to mess with some of the more unwieldy parts.  He also cooks decently enough, something that earns him a little extra fondness from most of us.  Though personally, I think a couple of women on board are a little more fond of him than I'd like.  He knows it, too.""   <br/><br/><strong>Medic, Mya Richone (orderNchaos):</strong> Lance has had a couple of conversations with her where he wasn't entirely sure what she was getting at.  He briefly thought she might be interested in him, but doesn't think that anymore, and something about her tells him he is in no way able to handle her.  He is, however, very attracted to her, and she probably appears in his mind the most often when he is alone in his bunk. <br/><br/><strong>Philemon ""Phil"" Adricus (TheRaven):</strong>  ""Can't fly.  Doesn't know the workings of a ship.  Not strong enough to work as a cargo porter.  Wanted by the Alliance.  Proven to be untrustworthy.""  Lance shakes his head.  ""He's anti-slavery, too.  That doesn't bother me, of course.  I'd personally prefer we had nothing to do with slaves, but from the captain's view that has to be a strike against him.  As far as I can tell, the only thing the captain likes about him is that he betrayed the Alliance and lived to brag about it.  I don't want to believe that Braxton would hire him based on that alone, but I don't see any other reason.""   <br/><br/><strong>Sophie:</strong> ""Wow.  There are some things about her that definitely aren't right, namely the things I think when I see her.  'Uncle Sue' is out of his league if he thinks he can keep her out of trouble, or keep half the crew out of her.  Apparently she had companion training.  If so, she seems to have learned everything but the part that people are supposed to pay for that kind of treatment.  I've just met her and already I've seen more of her body than damn near every woman I've known.  I'm thinking dirty thoughts every time she's around and I swear she not only knows, but likes it that way.  I need to get laid before I give in and take her up on what she seems to be offering.""</div></div><br/><div

She is quiet, sneaky, underhand, has an amazing capacity for coming by things that she shouldn't and finding herself in places that she has no place being.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Born on Ariel to a lower class family Isi found herself orphaned and being faced with being fostered by the time she was eight following a house fire that killed her parents and her sister. At least officially. Isi was sleeping over at a friends house that evening and there are rumours on the street that her family were killed by 'men in black' who took a large bundle away with them before torching the house. Rumours that Isi herself has long put behind her.<br/><br/>She didn't take to the idea of being fostered, ran away and found herself living by her wits on the streets. Not an easy thing to do in a high tech society, yet she fell on her feet meeting up with a gang of other street kids who helped her to learn the skills and knowledge she would need to stay ahead of the system.<br/><br/>Her formative years were spent learning to beg, scrounge, lie, cheat, steal, conceal, open locks, sneak, hack and more importantly either stay well ahead of trouble or hit very hard and very fast if it ever does manage to catch up.<br/><br/>By the time Isi was sixteen she was recruited into a more organized criminal gang as a runner and courier, once her skill at opening doors and squeezing through tight spaces was known she was recruited for more and more dangerous jobs till she found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong credit chip and no way to deny it.<br/><br/>Sentenced to fifteen years shortly after her nineteenth birthday she found herself inside and behind bars.<br/><br/>Prison was a revelation to Isi, she had time to hone her abilities, especially hacking and escapology. Absorbing all the knowledge and skills from the other inmates that she could. By the time she was out five years later for good behaviour she was more accomplished than she had ever thought possible and set about putting those skills to work for herself rather than a gang.<br/><br/>The latest heist however was a little too big, too hot and Isi has found herself on the 'Most Wanted' list of not only the local police, but the Alliance military as well as one of the more vicious local Arial criminal gangs the 'Talons'. The idea of spending some time in space with her ill gotten gains is suddenly very appealing and she has been travelling for a few months since.<br/><br/>Isi is hyper-flexible in a large number of her joints which added to being fairly small and very skinny gives her somewhat of an advantage at slipping bonds and escaping from restraint as well as fitting in confined spaces.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Isi is generally quiet and observant, she looks for the main chance. She is a good judge of character and chooses who she should open up to well. When she does open up she is friendly and though guarded, quite pleasant to be around if you can handle her dark and sarcastic sense of humour. She is shrewd and careful and likes to be sure and plan things before acting if she can.<br/><br/>Isi tends towards dark colours of clothing and is fussy about the personality of those she would choose to take to bed, if not their physical gender. She is not one to rush things and can be too cerebral about love, always wanting to make sure she has an escape plan.<br/><br/>Isi tends to avoid fighting if she can, its not her thing, she senses her own mortality and fragility and knows that such ephemeral things as 'life' can be so easily taken away from you if you are not careful.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>Isi is quiet and sneaky, a professional thief she would be best be employed as an adjunct to the shore party once the others in the crew are aware of her past,  a facilitator.

She has a feel for ships, how they'll fly, when to push them, when to let up and let them glide. When she's flying (especially under pressure) she almost seem to become one with the ship itself. There's nothing she can't fly from the smallest shuttle to the largest cargo ships. She's pretty sure she could handle anything the Alliance has as well but she hasn't had the chance.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Growing up on the outer planets she didn't have the access to education and technology that those in the inner core did but that didn't stop her from learning everything she could. Especially when it came to flying and navigation. Having a head for science and numbers she learned all that she could about the theory behind different ships, how they worked, how/why they flew, what common problems with them were, and how to push them to their limits.<br/><br/>She built a reputation as a pilot, first on small jobs on her own planet and then on longer jobs between worlds. Her reputation had her as bold, willing, and able, to push a ship to it's limits, and for being slightly crazy in finding those limits. She took chances other pilots wouldn't but she always brought her ship back into port. It was the crazy part that often had her catching jobs with smugglers and other, somewhat, nefarious types, the part where she always brought the ships into whatever port they were calling home, was what kept those same types coming back for more until she found a ship to settle, and a crew, to settle on.<br/><br/>With the rest of the 'Verse choosing sides all Keri wanted to do was fly. She didn't care much for the Alliance, but she didn't see how the outer rim would be improved by booting them out of their lives either. Of course she also didn't see what the Alliance gained by keeping a bunch of poor, dustbowl planets barely scraping by either. Truth was, she didn't much care. She had what she wanted and so long as neither side interfered with that, she'd let them battle it out on their own.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Keri is a very laid back sort of girl. In general, she doesn't bother herself with matters of morality too much though she is the sort that is naturally kind and, if able, willing to help those in need. Her loyalty lies with the crew of her ship, who are a sort of replacement family for her and helping a stranger will never come before keeping her crew safe. She's intelligent and learns new skills quickly but, having grown up on an outer planet, not as educated as she could have been had she grown up in the Core. She has a thirst for adventure and freedom that keeps her flying fast and, sometimes, laughing when a job turns dangerous and pushes her skills to their limits.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Distinguishing Marks</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Misc%20Story%20Accessories/vine-tattoo-1.jpg)<br/>Keri has the above tattoo curving along the left side of her back and is currently saving up the money to get it's mirror image on the other side.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>Flying hard, running from the law or Reavers (if they take a job far enough out on the Rim since the Reavers haven't pushed in far yet), the party after a job well done, the fun to be had on the occasional landing Planetside. <br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>Keri isn't the sort to want to hurt anyone. She will if pushed to it, but she's not sadistic and wouldn't take pleasure in it. She won't feel bad about it either.<br/><br/>Sexually, she is a bit of a masochist and enjoys being tied up, biting, clawing etc but she isn't submissive. She'll play but she's not going to kneel happily at someone's feet and if someone tried to make her do so...they'd find that she knows where to claw and bite to make things <em>less</em> than pleasurable for everyone involved.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 1</td><td>Presence 2</td><td>Knowledge 4</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 4</td><td>Manipulation 1</td><td>Wits 3</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 3</td><td>Composure 2</td><td>Perception 3</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Dodge 1    Brawl   1      Gunslinger 1   Stealth 1   Alertness 3    Survival 1          <br/>Empathy 2    Socialize 2   Pilot 4    Mechanic 1       <br/>Spacer 1    Knife Fighting  2    Singing 2     Carving (wood)   2     Seduction 1      <br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Advancements</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Points Awarded:</strong> 7exp - 11-23-12 - saved<br/>12/10/12, Seduction 1 added to skills, subtract 1 point from total saved<br/><br/><strong>Points Total:</strong> 6</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Relationships</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/><div align=""center""><strong><em>~The Crew~</em></strong></div><br/><strong>The Line:</strong> Keri <em>loves</em> the ship! The only way she could love it more would be if it were actually her own but she has no desire to own a ship and so the Line gives her everything she could want and feels like more of a home to her than her actual home ever did. Anyone speaking poorly of the ships she loves will have a very angry Keri on their hands.<br/><br/><strong>Captain Braxton Early:</strong> She respects and likes the Captain. He took a chance on a young pilot and she sees to it that he never regrets taking that chance. She also appreciates that he respects her skill and leaves matters of piloting and navigation to her instead of ""backseat"" driving. He can do things that get on her nerves but at the end of the day she will stand by her Captain because he has, in the months she's been on the ship, become a part of a sort of extended family for her.<br/><br/><strong>Elfie:</strong> The Captain's slave, Keri is truthfully irritated by the girl. That the girl seems to simply accept her status as property baffles Keri, who cannot imagine just skittering around in the background the way the girl does. If she catches Elfie trying to clean up her bunk or the helm of the ship she doesn't trust her temper and will have warned the girl to leave those areas to her. <br/><br/><strong>Richard Dawson:</strong> Keri feels like she doesn't know the First Mate very well. He seems like a good man but also seems to isolate himself and doesn't seem to loosen up. She wants to like him, she just wishes he'd not be quite so uptight.<br/><br/><strong>Lance Daniels:</strong> Lance is her buddy. She views him as her best friend aboard the ship and often teases him mercilessly. She thinks he puts on a few airs, like calling himself and engineer instead of a mechanic, but forgives him such foibles because he can, almost always, make her laugh and because he just doesn't know any better. She also likes that he was raised in the Core because he can offer advice on books and educational subjects she'd never even heard of out on the rim. Like the Captain, Lance has become a part of her extended family and while she may tease him herself and give him a hard time, she'd stand between him and anyone else in a heartbeat!<br/><br/><strong>Sue:</strong> Keri likes the man and not only because he can keep her well fed! She feels like she can be herself around him and enjoys teasing him. She won't admit it to anyone but herself, but she's wondered just what he might do if she ever teased too much and that the idea sends a shiver down her spine and sets a small smile playing on her lips.<br/><br/><strong>Girias ""Cookie"" Bomban:</strong> Keri stays out of Girias way. The man is known to have a temper and since he often stays in his bunk, when not patrolling the ship, it's easy enough to avoid him and steer clear of that temper. <br/><br/><strong>Philemon Adricus:</strong> They don't have a lot in common but Keri likes the man and is amused by how he can turn on the ""charm"" when he chooses to.<br/><br/><strong>Mya Richone:</strong> Keri doesn't cross paths with the doctor much but likes the woman well enough...or at least doesn't <em>dis</em>like her. She is skilled and useful, which Keri always appreciates, but she doesn't understand why the rich girl hasn't paid off her indenture and gotten a fare back to a Core world and her family. Mostly she doesn't understand the doctor.<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong><em>~Passengers~</em></strong></div><br/><strong>Serenity Sun Kwan:</strong> Keri holds the Companion in a bit of awe. Not that she'd ever admit it. She admires the woman's charm and grace and her ability to manipulate a room with seeming ease. She is also a bit envious of the other woman's education and access to a life that Keri can only imagine but not so envious that it makes her bitter or dislike the woman. She does however find herself, at times, irritated with the way the Companion and the Captain are constantly sniping at each other. She's wishes they'd either fight, or fuck, it out like adults and be done with it!<br/><br/><strong>Isi Smith:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Blake Thernwood:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Sophie DeLaurents:</strong> That girl is not all there in the brainpan! We'll see how crazy she is going to make everyone and if the men can think with anything but their dicks around her!<br/><br/><strong>Levi Evens:</strong><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Equipment/Personal Items</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Keri's cabin is small but that's fine by her. She doesn't need a lot of space, preferring to be at the helm instead of in her bunk for anything but sleep. In it there is a small bunk that can retract into the wall, a bookshelf lined with books about various types of ships and stellar navigation through space, she also has a small chest of drawers that holds her clothing and a few pieces of wood that she's picked up on various planets and her carving knives. <br/><br/>The carving is something she does when she needs to let her mind worry out a problem without actually <em>thinking</em> about it too hard and she has actually sold a few pieces on some of the outer planets for a few extra coins. Nothing so fine that it would end up in the home of a rich man in the Core, but better decoration than usually makes it way out that far. <br/><br/>In the ships helm is the other possession she prizes. A series of stellar charts. They're replicas, she'd never have the money for originals, but she doesn't care. They are replicas of the original charts make when science teams first pushed into the galaxy looking for a new home after Earth-that-was was used up. They are exacting in detail and if anyone laid a finger to them they'd likely find one of her carving knives buried in their heart. <br/><br/>On her person she keeps a small six shooter on one hip and a double edged dagger on the other. She <em>can</em> hit the broad side of a barn with the gun, but mostly it's there when she needs to intimidate someone into just backing away since her own, petite, frame isn't all that intimidating on it's own. If someone is actually pushing a fight, it's the knife, not the gun, that she draws when she means business. She's far better with the blade than the gun and being female, and petite, often makes people underestimate her giving her an edge they don't even realize. <br/><br/>As for her clothing, she prefers simple denim pants and cotton shirts when on board the ship and she has a couple of simple sundresses for when they land planet-side with the intention of taking on passengers. She finds the dresses make a better first impression and seem less standoff-ish  for people signing on to travel with a bunch of strangers. </div></div>"

Generally this involves the more hands on tasks though it may be as simple as providing security during negotiations. He gets his orders from the captain, including their objective, and does his best to meet that objective.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>:Personality: Richard is a professional sort of man, always doing whatever task he is assigned to as quickly and efficiently as possible. He cares about the well being of those under him since without them, he doesn't really have a job to do, or the job becomes nearly impossible. Very little nonsense sort of guy, he will lead by example whenever things get tough.<br/>Background: Richard grew up on a rather large ranch in the outer rim area of the 'verse. Being a child of the so called Rancher Barons of the planet, he got as good an education as possible in the Rim, having a particular interest in military history. When he turned sixteen he joined the planetary militia. While this was more of a social gathering than a military one, they did train with their weapons and tactics for a weekend every month practicing war games against the militia companies from other districts of the planet. The whole event ended with a big barbecue and party. In fact, the only time in the seven years he was a part of the militia, he only saw combat once, when he was called out to investigate a wrecked ship. Turned out that it had been boarded by some pirates and the resulting firefight caused the ship to spin down to the planet. Somehow a trio of pirates survived, but were quickly killed by the squad of militia. It was still a scary moment for Richard, who had never seen a man die a violent death until that time.<br/><br/>When he was twenty three, his family ranch was sold. A string of thefts and bad weather left his family with only the leanest of the cattle. Taxes came due and despite his father practically begging for more time. There was enough left from the sale of the farm to set his parents up in town, but Richard and his brothers and sisters, the unmarried ones at least, simply began to drift away. Richard found work with a salvage crew for a time, but they lacked any permits whatsoever and narrowly avoided being tossed into prison. A short stint as a bodyguard put him in contact with Captain Early of the the Line and he was later hired on as the First Mate. Of course this took a bit of time to arrange and to prove he was fit for the job, but he's still here so he must be doing something right.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Richard is very professional and straightforward in what he does, whether it is on a job or off. The only time he loosens up is when he is drunk, but that does not happen often. As for his thoughts on the Independence movement, he is rather ambivalent. On one hand he knows that for all of its faults, he has the Alliance to thank for keeping his little sister alive when the medicine she needed was brought in on a supply convoy, and that without any form of government the bandits would just get worse. On the other hand however, the Alliance caused his family to lose their ranch which left his father as close to a broken man as possible and still leave him a barely functioning shell.<br/><br/>With slavery he does not have such mixed feelings. He simply doesn't care much for their situation, and in his mind they must have done something to deserve it. As a rule he dislikes seeing others treated poorly, but that is the only real issue he has with slaves. if they are treated well then he sees no issue. On the ship though, he prefers if Elfie stays out of his quarters unless there is an emergency. This rule extends to most of the crew, with the owners of the ship being the obvious exception.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>I would like to see Richard involved in gunfights, narrow escapes, daring getaways and being part of a Big Damn Hero moment or two<br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>I personally have issues with writing NC scenes, so on the off chance I am involved in one it will probably not be written very well. Of course Richard was raised to be a proper young gentleman and has a few ideas about propriety that haven't been discarded along with some of his older trappings. He can certainly be a bit rough while in bed with a willing woman, using a bit of biting or some firm tugs on her hair to help the mood, so to speak.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 3</td><td>Presence 3</td><td>Knowledge 2</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 3</td><td>Manipulation 2</td><td>Wits 3</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 3</td><td>Composure 2</td><td>Perception 3</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Melee <br/>Brawl: 2<br/>Gunslinger: 4 <br/>Rifles: 4<br/>Athletics: 2<br/>Riding: 3<br/>Etiquette: 3<br/>Repair: (Stuff like maintaining his weapons as well as his clothing and other small objects)1<br/>Intimidation: 2<br/>Empathy: 2<br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Personal Items</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Richard has a small bunk on the ship where he keeps a small trunk containing two spare sets of clothing along with a ""nice"" outfit if it is ever necessary.

Of course he cares about the ship but it's mainly more that the ship is his current home and source of income, rather than for any sort of personal feelings.<br/><br/><strong>Braxton Early</strong>(Captain)<br/>Early is a good captain. He pays on time and is never too unreasonable about his orders. The only problem Richard has is with the way he treats Elfie. His reasons for that are based in his dislike of seeing anybody mistreated, though he could hardly care less that she is a slave.<br/><br/><strong>Lance Daniels</strong> (Engineer)<br/>Richard respects the man, especially considering that he is responsible for keeping The Line in one piece. Since he is also one of the owners of the ship, Richard probably has him to thank for the more or less steady pay he receives.<br/><br/><strong>Keridwyn ""Keri"" Jones</strong> (Pilot)<br/>Like the engineer, Richard definitely appreciates her ability to keep him alive in space. She also has the benefit of being very easy on the eyes and is also easy to get along with.<br/><br/><strong>Mya Richone</strong> (Ships’s surgeon)<br/>A good doctor is always a blessing, doubly so when they know exactly what they are doing. Mya is a bit of a confusion for Richard though, since she is obviously from a wealthy family yet she hasn't paid off her indenture yet. Still, she is very handy to have aboard since Richard has had more close calls than he'd care to admit. Being pretty is another benefit but he hasn't made an advance because he feels that it would be wrong, like taking advantage of a woman who has passed out.<br/><br/><strong>Girias ""Cookie"" Bomban</strong> (Grunt)<br/>Girias is a bit odd, but so long as he follows orders when the lead starts firing, Richard couldn't care less. The man is very capable in a fight and is somebody that Richard would like to have at his side in any conflict.<br/><br/><strong>Sue</strong> (Cook &amp; Grunt)<br/>Sue is a good man to have around the ship in Richards opinion. A good meal is hard to come by aboard anything but a luxury liner, so having a skilled cook aboard The Line is a bit of a blessing.<br/><br/><strong>Philemon ""Phil"" Adricus</strong> (Scoundrel)<br/>Richard can't help but have a low opinion of con men in general, and this has biased him against Phil for some time. Since learning that Phil is ex-military though, he has been a little less biased and more accepting of how he chooses to live his life.<br/><br/><strong>Elfi</strong> (Ship’s slave)<br/>If anything, Richard pities Elfie for what the Captain does to her, but she doesn't seem to mind. His only problem with her is if she ever tried to clean his bunk, though that is born of a desire to keep his personal life as private as possible. <br/><br/><strong>Serenity Sun Kwan</strong> (Companion)<br/>Richard is in awe of the Companion on the ship,since she seems to be all the refined class and society poured into the mold of a beautiful woman. Unless it has been strictly professional, he hasn't spoken to her much<br/><br/><strong>Isobel Smith[/]<br/>Since she seems to keep mostly to herself and hasn't caused any trouble, Richard hasn't really paid much attention to her. The fact that she doesn't seem like she could cause too much trouble probably factored into this as well.<br/></strong></div></div>"

For one, he never met his father. For another, he usually supplanted his mother's meager income with whatever he could pick from the pockets of strangers or beg off of them. Once he was old enough, he signed on with a smuggling crew to rake in some more money. He stayed on with them for some time, always sending a cut of his take back home to his mother, until the Independence movement cropped up. Figuring he could do some good and get free room and board out of the deal, he offered his services as a spy to the Independence movement, and signed on with the infantry.<br/><br/>The now ex-smuggler remained with the military for quite some time. He was notorious in his unit for having rather pitiful aim with his rifle, but being adept with his sidearm. In fact, he stayed on  until one of his encrypted transmissions was cracked. Facing court-martial and execution, Phil did what he does best: sneaked away from the problem and ran to the fringe planets. He went back to picking pockets again, and found his knack for burglary in that time. Phil stayed a petty thief for a while, working hard on his skill set for burglary at the time. Then, he learned that a particular person with whom he had contact, Braxton Early, had just come into possession of a ship. Seeing an opportunity to return to his glory days as a smuggler, he asked Braxton if the crew had room for him about two months into the ship's operation. The rest, as they say, is history.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Phil is nothing if not a free spirit, and he hates to see freedom denied to anyone around him. He reserves a special hatred for ""the peculiar institution."" This has created friction between he and the captain during his tenure aboard<em>The Line,</em>especially when it comes to the subject of Elfi and, more recently, Mya. He can usually keep it to himself, but heaven help anyone he sees mistreating one of them. He's not the most educated man alive, but Phil has learned a pretty fair amount during his lifetime.

Below that talent surface was a woman that knew how to handle just about anyone (well at least with her words). She knows the black market, and knows who has the cash to buy what you’re selling. She doesn't ask question but she does move the goods. If you ask her for something, she either knows it or has it. Or as one of her favorite lines goes, ""I know a guy."" You want information or contacts, you want to sell something to high rollers, a new identity, or simply want a hell of a song and dance she is your girl. As in her line of business you have to be in the know and in the demand. Not only to make a profit, but to keep yourself alive.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>:<br/>Elena was born to what some may call a nobleman. Not that she'd ever call her father anything close to noble. No she grew up knowing the truth of what he was. A manipulative, abusive, rat bastard that would sell his own daughter to get ahead. He raised her like she was his prized pony. Only she had no idea that there was ever going to be a race. Elena never wanted for anything while she was growing up. Granted that was usually because her daddy was always trying to buy her off. Ignore me hitting you or your momma and here is a new dolly, or sorry I beat you so bad I left a scar. Here's a pony...she named that damn horse Lost. Because her father and his promises were a lost cause.<br/><br/>She was given the best teachers with all sorts of lessons to keep up with: Lessons in languages, dancing, piano and violin, manners, traditional education, all the things he thought a lady of higher standers would need. And of course all private tutors.  Her father said it was for her own good, but Elena always thought it was simply because he didn't want the outside would to influence her. But even with him trying to hide her away from the world Elena learned about it. One of her teachers always snuck in new, books, pictures, and even a few movies. It made her want to escape the cage she was growing up in that much more.<br/><br/>From the outside it looked perfect, but for anyone that could see the real truth. They knew it was hell for the young woman. Though she did her best to endure till the day she turned 18. When she was finally 18 Elena thought maybe she'd get the chance to get away from her life. But her father had other plans for her. He planned to marry her off to one of his soon to be partners. A man that would further his hold on the planet they called home. And increase his status tenfold if the right cards were played. Elena was to be the thing that sealed the deal for him.<br/><br/>Upon finding out what her father was going to do, Elena refused and everything exploded into a huge fight. Her father struck out against Elena angry that she could even think of going against him. But her mother stepped in the way, the already frail woman didn't stand a chance. Her father struck Elena's mother down. Killing her in one quick shot. He would have turned against her if Nick one of the staff members wouldn't have stepped in. The older man struck her father on the head and knocked him out cold. Having no other choice Nick (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/darkglitch/hogwarts/sam_elliott.jpg) told Elena that he had to run, and if she was smart she would run too. She agreed to go with the older man. They gathered a few things, and before she left Elena cleaned out her father’s private safe. The bastard deserved it after what he had done to her and her mother.<br/><br/>Elena and Nick ran, Nick posed as her father and got them new identification. To Elena's surprise Nick used to be an old smuggler and was still rather good at what he did, despite being out of the game for so long. He told her that her father used to be a conman, still was just on a whole other level now. It turned out her father built his empire on a web of lies, back handed deals, and now murders. With the next coming months Nick and Elena kept moving. Nick started to teach Elena how the world really worked, along with all the tricks of the trade. Finding out that Elena's father had reported that Nick had killed her mother and kidnapped his daughter. Nick had a price on his head, and Elena a call for her to be returned home safely. Thankfully her father didn't have as much pull as he would have hope when it came to being off world. At least not as much as he used to.<br/><br/>Still as years past and Elena...now Levi grew into from a caged little girl, to a free spirited and strong will woman. She became the woman in the know, you needed something sold. She knew where the buyers were. You needed knew identity chips, she could forge them. You needed information that was hard to come by. She could dig it up. All the while somehow keeping herself unseen, and certainly not caught. Posing as an entertainer to those of hire station.  Not having the training to be a companion, not that she’d ever want to sell her body like that. But she was able to get into places without being that noticed and get to the clients that she knew would buy whatever it was she was selling. Along the way Levi gathers friends and well...acquaintances that she could call upon for just about anything. If she couldn't do it, couldn't get a hold of it, or didn't know it. Levi sure as hell knew someone that could.<br/><br/>And that is where we find Levi now, traveling the skies from planet to planet. Making a comfy living the only way she knows how. The scars are the only things that remain to remind her of her past. And with any luck it will stay that way.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>:<br/>Elena aka Levi is a free spirited, strong willed, Willy young woman. She has come from what most may see as a blessed life, but to her was hell. And found a way to come back stronger than ever. She tends to keep her secrets buried so deep even she'd have a hard time finding them. But she is loyal to those that earn her trust, always one to repay a debt, and never one to turn down a good job...or a good time. After all a girl works hard so she can play just as hard.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>Actions held in her own arrangements, interactions with the crew, maybe something that challenges her to face her past or share more of herself. She may not be much of a fighter (at least from what you'd think by looking at her) but she'd be a good front Wo-man...lol Or the behind the scenes information girl. Hell she may even know of a few jobs already needing a crew to do them. <br/><br/>Sexually she isn't a virgin, but she has never trusted anyone enough to really let herself go or let someone take control. She hasn't had any solid relationships in her life, and usually loves and leaves them. She'd say it was bad for business to hold onto ties like that. But really she is probably just afraid of letting anyone that close. Afraid of ending up like her mother. She is pretty open about sex, though she can't be bought. You want her then give her a reason to want you. She is bi though she hasn't ever been with a woman so the idea of it is still new to her. <br/> Character's Ons: Kissing, touching, licking, bondage, spanking, passion in general.

He seems the gentlemen and ever the captain of his crew. But there is just something about him that doesn't sit well. Like I'm waiting for him to lash out on me with that crop of his. God help me and him if he does I don't honestly know what I'll do if he does. <br/><br/><strong>Richard Dawson</strong> (First Mate)<br/>Seems like a good enough man, though I do wonder if he ever relaxes a bit. Maybe I'll get him some of that top shelf whiskey and see if I can't get him to open up a bit more. Seems the type of man that if your good to him he'll be good to you. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Lance Daniels</strong> (Engineer)<br/>Seems nice enough, has a good head on his shoulders, and someone I could see sitting down with and just chatting. He seems to enjoy the good things in life, I kind of wonder how he ended up on The Line in the first place. But I guess that is part of his story. Maybe I'll hear it someday. <br/><br/><strong>Keridwyn ""Keri"" Jones</strong> (Pilot)<br/>She seems pretty laid back, like the type of gal I could sit and relax with. I think I'll get along with her well enough. Maybe she can teach me how to fly one day. Yeah I'm sure the captain would love that. :P<br/><br/><strong>Mya Richone</strong> (Ships’s surgeon)<br/>Seems a bit timid at times, though it looks like she likes being that way. Though she is a great doctor so I can't say anything bad about her. Id hate to have my life in her hands if she was angry at me. I can see the way she works sometimes, used to doing what it takes to get what she wants. But I guess that is just something some people pick up growing up the way she did. <br/><br/><strong>Girias ""Cookie"" Bomban</strong> (Grunt)<br/>Jumpy...quick to anger and probably quicker to pull his gun on you. I don't know why he is allowed to stay on board. Seems like a risk to me, I normally don't deal with a man that can't keep his anger in check. And if he snoops through my things he may just end up with one of my boots thrown at his thick head.<br/><br/><strong>Sue</strong> (Cook)<br/>Seems like a straight forward kind of guy, not one to have all these secrets and such. Least none that I'd ever need to know about. I'd never ask him about his name, because you never upset the man that makes your food. No in fact I think I'll see if I can't make sure he gets to being a friend of mine. I mean who wouldn't want some high end ingredients or drink...or maybe a new gun? Depends how good his cooking really is. <br/><br/><strong>Philemon ""Phil"" Adricus</strong> (Conman)<br/>I suppose you'd say he is the closest thing I'd see as a kindred spirit on the ship (though that's mostly due to the similar working habits I suppose). But I don't know much about him other then he is a smooth talker. And damn pretty to look at. I can see us working together, not sure how it will work out but I guess we will just have to wait and see. <br/><br/><strong>Elfi</strong> (Captain’s slave)<br/> Girls down right jumpy, you look at her wrong and she skitters away. I wont do anything to get her into trouble, though I may see if I can't get her to read or maybe sneak her something sweet. I kind of feel bad for her, though I suppose she could be in worse spots. I've seen what some men do to their slaves, at least she is basically cared for.<br/><br/><strong>Serenity Sun Kwan</strong> (Companion)<br/>She is well spoken, educated, proper, well mannered, beautiful, seductive, everything my father wanted me to be basically. Including the bit about giving yourself to a man with the right about of credit or pull. I don't particularly like what she does, I ran to keep from being something similar to that. Granted I didn't choose or get to pick the man I went to bed with. She does what she has to I suppose, I just can't imagine why she'd be willing to sell herself. And still be so against slavery to boot. Isn't what she does a form of it? Maybe I'm just not seeing it from her point of veiw. To each their own I guess. <br/><br/><strong>Isobel Smith</strong>(scoundrel) <br/>Girls a bit dark if you ask me, but I guess everyone has what they enjoy right? Tends to stay quiet but seems friendly enough.

Probably just tries to stay out of the political crap and do right by her own people or her weird form of honor.<br/><br/><strong>Slavery</strong><br/>Slavery is something she knows that is there, she doesn't necessarily like it. As she knows what it is like to feel caged and beaten, feeling like you have no where to run. But she also knows sometime you just can't safe them. Sometimes all you can do is make what little you can a bit easier. She can't buy every slave and free them. But she could give one that hasn't been fed her share of food while their master isn't looking. Or if they are going to get whipped give them something to bite on and tell them to think of their favorite memory to get through it. Maybe is she is sneaky enough give them the salve she always used on her back. Stuff like that, it is a part of life she doesn't particularly like it.

Her face and her hair and her smile and her dresses.  Dresses!  She has dresses she ain't even wore yet, and frilly underthings and the little umbrellas that don't do no good in the rain.  Gosh.  She's sunshine all wrapped up in nice.  And don't you be calling her a whore neither.  Whores ain't nothing like Mistis Serenity, and she ain't one of them.  She's a lady, proper and fancy and maybe sometimes I think she'd have angel wings if you looked close enough.<br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Equipment</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Elfi has the clothes on her back and a few, a very few, more.  They are generally low class, picked for durability and not for style, and not all of them fit properly  She does not own shoes or a warm weather jacket.  She has a heavy wool blanket, an apron, and several bits of cloth to tie her hair back.  A metal collar with a clunky box on one side adorns her neck.  Her only other possession is a small rag doll, carefully hidden away near where she usually sleeps.  It is her most prized possession.<br/><br/><div align=""center"">(http://i.imgur.com/CuDix.jpg)</div><br/></div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

which her father didn't believe was caused by what she said, claiming the irreproachable reputation of her hustband-to-be - she cleaned out the account she had been given by her father, and fled the planet.  She bought passage as soon as she could on the first ship that would take her, after buying new clothes that weren't high-society-best-money-could-buy, and left, never looking back.<br/><br/>For a time, to make ends meet, she ran with a crew that did some less than honest things, but that were able to make use of her skills, and allowed her to pick up a few others.  With that crew, she stole, she killed people, and she learned how to duck Alliance patrols, not to mention the people her father continually hired to bring her back to Ariel for her to take her place in the arranged marriage.<br/><br/>About a month ago, Alexis, now going by Cassie Greenway, and the rest of her crew signed on to a job to steal an antique showpiece from another high-and-mighty moneyman.  Unfortunately, the job was a setup, and the target had security waiting on them.  Cassie was the only one that made it out, and only because she had stayed with the runner they were using, and had hightailed it as soon as armed guards started pouring out the doors the rest of her crew had gone in.<br/><br/>Now, she's looking for a way off this rock, and a new crew to sign on with, even if it's just long enough to get to another planet.  She's willing to endure any insult, any drudgery - almost - to get off the planet before the guards can piece together a clear enough description of her face to find her.  She doesn't have much, just a few grand that was her share of the prepayment on the last job, but she's willing to drop every last penny of it on a ticket out of here and another chance at making a new life.<br/><br/>At this point, going back is hardly an option, and Cassie knows it.  If she's caught at this late of a juncture, she knows that her father will see to it - through his sizable wealth and contact network - that she is never able to escape again, and she'll be forced to live out a life of drudgery and misery, married to a man she has absolutely no feelings for.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Headstrong, stubborn, and cautious, Cassie seems like a contradiction in personalities.  But while her stubborn ways will keep her from backing down or giving up on something, her attention to detail may cause a significant time lapse before the stubbornness kicks in.<br/><br/>She doesn't trust easily, not anymore.  Since her last team got massacred on a job, she isn't sure how that happened.  But she blames one of the other crew members, because she's certain she said nothing that could have caused the trap they walked into.<br/><br/>Currently, Cassie is quite subdued and quiet, due to a slight twinge of guilt over not even bothering to check on the rest of her team, and disgust with herself for letting her survival instinct override her loyalty.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>I'm open for pretty much anything.  Bear in mind, any force is going to be met with force right back, as Cass doesn't take well to being told what to do.  Course, if you're strong enough to control her, more power to you.<br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>As far as I'm concerned, if you're strong enough to manage it, go for it.  Just be aware she will demand a safe word, or she will fight you the whole way.  She doesn't like being forced into things.  Me personally, I'm fine with it, but it's the character personality.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 2</td><td>Presence 2</td><td>Knowledge 2</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 4</td><td>Manipulation 2</td><td>Wits 3</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 2</td><td>Composure 2</td><td>Perception 4</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Melee 2  Archery 3  Dodge 2<br/>Alertness 2  Drive 3<br/>Subterfuge 3  Etiquette 2 Athletics 2<br/>Survival 3  Petty Crime 3</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">possessions</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Light Crossbow w/20 quarrels<br/>Rapier<br/>Combat knife<br/>Simple clothes<br/>Photo frame, cycling photos, all of her with her mother, and one of her at a funeral.</div></div>"

The surviving crew and passengers slowly suffocated but Mya was trapped in the medbay section, where she had access to bottled oxygen and drugs to slow down her metabolism to make it last even longer.  After a few days helpless in space the transport was picked up by a salvage crew where they found her half dead in the wreckage.  Realizing that Mya is from a rich core family, the captain bargains with her that he could take her off the derelict and bring her home...but that the fare would be astronomical and that she would have to sign an indenture contract to make sure that she pays. Originally refusing the request, the captain ordered the ship to undock after all the salvage was on board, where Mya quickly changed her mind. Dignity aside, Mya served the crew as a servant.  While she was not originally fond of the idea of serving the crew, she soon came to realize this arrangement could serve many of her needs.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Mya grew up a traditional Core high class kid.  Best schools, best grades and an overbearing family bent on over achieving.  Mya grew up a sweet but determined woman who generally knew what she wanted.  She has a way of using her smile, her body and her demeanor to get people to do what she wants which as a Core Worlds physician meant that she never had to be strict or demanding of anyone.  Deep down inside Mya is a true submissive.  While she works in a demanding fast paced alpha type personality field, she yearns to free herself of that yoke and give herself to the desires of others.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>Being an indentured servant I expect Mya to be more in a following position, but her knowledge of the high class side of the Alliance worlds as well as her intelligence will hopefully put her in positions where she can insert her thoughts or opinions on a mission or plan.  While she will be more submissive when it comes to aspects of ship function, when she is in her sick bay, she is in charge and usually won't settle for anything less.<br/><br/>Mya secretly seeks out situations where she will be abused and used sexually.  She tends to enjoy rough bdsm to include lots of humiliation and pain.  While she may seem to fight back or resist she may secretly want to be dominated more completely.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 1</td><td>Presence 3</td><td>Knowledge 4</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 3</td><td>Manipulation 3</td><td>Wits 4</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 2</td><td>Composure 2</td><td>Perception 3</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Medic 5       Etiquette 3   Riding 2<br/>Empathy 3  Seduction 3   Melee  1   <br/>Socialize 3  Politics 2   <br/>Athletics    Alertness   <br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Equipment</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/>Mya's belongings are small and unencumbering,  the kind you'd find on someone who was running away from her life and really didn't need the burden.  Most of her material assets on Osirus were liquidated to credits and locked in a bank account.  She had no need for furniture or things where she was going, she could buy them there.  <br/><br/>Her room on the ship is sparse but homely.  The main items in her possession amounted to a number of old medical journals, actual books with hard binders, she found in an antique store many years ago in college.  They were her first taste of real medicine away from the scanners and mechanics of core medicine.  A medics kits she always carries with her in case of emergencies with an abundant supply of items she might need for any situation outside of an operating room.  <br/><br/>She also carries a few mementos from her life on Osirus, mainly a few trinkets and gifts she received from old boyfriends or friends prior to her departure.  The rest of her belongings are clothes.  A ragged assortment of dresses and outfits she figured might be useful on Belaraphone to get settled and buy new clothes.  Little did she know how that would work out. <br/><br/></div></div>"

May I ask why?” The Colonel asked as they walked up the boarding ramp. The ship was venting Steam through her thrusters in preparation for takeoff and their feet where shrouded in dense, artificial fog.<br/><br/>“It’s the line we draw.” Captain Early replied. “It’s the line we stand on, the one we never surrender. It’s where we hold the tide. This ship<em>is</em>my freedom. And if they want it, they will have to take it from my cold, dead hands.”<br/><br/>Colonel Waters nodded as they walked into the cramped cargo bay. The Line was a rather big ship as far as colonial transports ran, twice the size of the common Firefly, but she wasn’t very roomy. As a former Alliance patrol boat, she was built for combat, not cargo.<br/><br/>One of the men was having trouble maneuvering the cargo mule around the stacked rolls of steel sheeting they were transporting. He would have to park it in a corridor somewhere. When the loading was complete, the cargo hold would be filled from floor to ceiling.<br/><br/>“Careful with that, Philemon!” Braxton shouted. “This stuff is supposed to be food grade, so don’t get any grease on them rolls!”<br/><br/>The Colonel raised an eyebrow.<br/><br/>“Good man, that one. Just no experience with mules. He worked our cause from the inside and got in trouble with the Alliance brass for it. So, when I bought the boat, he was fresh out of a job but with the right kind of attitude.”<br/><br/>“So what’s the cargo?”<br/><br/>“Steel sheeting. A clean hundred tons of it, plus packing, of course. We are bound for a cannery on Shadow.”<br/><br/>“Shadow…that’s almost home for you, isn’t it?”<br/><br/>“Close enough. I was born and raised on Summerfair.”<br/><br/>“But ain’t it a shame using a sleek ship like that for cargo! Are you even turning a profit?”<br/><br/>“It’s an easy job. Clean and legal. A milkrun. No complications, no Alliance. And we have to take jobs where we can find them if we want to keep The Line flying. And that was the deal, remember? You get me the ship cheap and I keep her flying until she is needed. Want to see the rest?”<br/><br/>“Sure.”<br/><br/><br/>Together, they walked up the stairs. On the gantry, overlooking the cargo hold, Richard was ticking off items on his clipboard.<br/><br/>“That’s Mr. Dawson, my first mate. Good man, too. The Alliance tax men took his family’s ranch. That’s the kind of pain we all can feel.”<br/><br/>Richard looked up from his clipboard for a moment and greeted Braxton with a short “Cap!”, before returning to his duties.<br/><br/>They got into the main corridor that led into the ship’s true interior. The heavy airlock door behind them slid closed halfway with a hydraulic hiss…and then ground to a halt. Braxton hit the button and it opened again. He set it to close and again, it got stuck halfway. The panel hiding the hydraulics vented steam, popped off the wall and fell to the floor. Just in that moment, a man in a T-shirt and jeans came around the corner.<br/><br/>“Lance, you lazy 放縱瘋狂的結・放纵疯狂的结 (fahng-tzong fung-kwong duh jeh)! You said you would get the airlock control fixed before we take off!”<br/><br/>“Well, to be fair, I don't see you taking off with a faulty airlock.”<br/><br/>“We take off in ten minutes! God, man! Take some pride in your work! She is your ship, too!”<br/><br/>""Well shit.  I thought it was an hour and ten minutes.""  The engineer shrugged and put down his toolbox without any haste and examined the cables and hoses spewing out of the maintenance panel.  ""I can do ten.""<br/><br/><br/>“Listen, Braxton!” The colonel raised his voice as they kept walking “The deal was you keep her flying! When we sold you the ship, she was in great shape. Now it’s a piece of  廢物・废物 (Fei-oo)!<br/><br/>“She is a good ship.” Braxton agreed. “But we can’t have her look like it. What do you think will an alliance inspector think if he sees this ship, this<em>patrol cruiser</em>and it’s all nice and shiny and basically ready for battle? Not to mention, what will the Alliance tax office say when they read his report and then see that you sold it to me for a mere fifty thousand credits, which is basically her scrap value? No, like it or not, this…” Braxton pointed at the airlock maintenance panel where Lance was still wrestling with the cables and hoses, trying to force them back inside, “…this is good camouflage.”<br/><br/>That shut up the Colonel, and Braxton hummed to himself as they continued the tour. He had turned around the conversation nicely. Maintenance, especially paying for it,<em>was</em>becoming a bit of a problem…<br/><br/>“Oh, that smells lovely! What’s for dinner?” The Colonel observed. They had reached the common area with the kitchen.<br/><br/>""Beef with bell peppers,"" said the cook, looking up just enough so the brim of his cowboy hat was just high enough to show his dark eyes to the Braxton and his guest.  He kept chopping peppers and adding them to the pot.<br/><br/>The Colonel was looking at the cook's apron, which was pink with white lace trimming.  In big white letters, a name was on display on his chest.  ""SUE.""<br/><br/>""That's me, Colonel.  Mah name is Sue.  Good to meet ya, sir.""  Sue wiped his hands on his apron and shook hands with the Colonel.<br/><br/>The Colonel's eyes went from the apron to the cook's face to the plate.<br/><br/>“So …Sue… where is the beef?” He asked and looked into the pot, confused.<br/><br/>“It’s…ah…’special’ beef with bell peppers. Like beef with bell peppers, just without the beef.” Braxton jumped in to explain.” Good for your health to skip the meat sometimes.” He quickly added. The Colonel didn’t<em>have</em>to know just how tight money was at the moment.<br/><br/>As they left the kitchen, the Colonel turned to him and asked in a conspiratorial voice. “Isn’t Sue a girl’s name?”<br/><br/>“Well, Sue ain’t a girl.”<br/><br/>“And what’s with the apron? He sly or something?”<br/><br/>“Listen, Colonel!” Braxton replied. He kept his voice down but there was obvious anger in it. “Some people like to wear aprons while they cook and some folk like to name their sons Sue. Doesn’t make them bad people. This is my crew. This is my ship. And while you are on it, you show some gorram respect!”<br/><br/>The Colonel looked at the captain taken back and surprised, but then he nodded. Just then a cute young girl came around a corner, carrying a huge pot of peeled potatoes to the kitchen. Freshly chastised on his manners, the Colonel nodded to her, said “Ma’am” and stepped out of the way.<br/><br/>“Not<em>her</em>! She is a…” Braxton made a gesture around his neck symbolizing a collar.<br/><br/>Elfi looked worried when Braxton spoke up, and hoped he wasn't angered.  It wasn't her fault, but she'd learned that Master Captain didn't like to hear words like that.  She somehow should have known that they'd be there and stayed out of the way.  At least the Colonel wasn't alone.  Braxton really discouraged her from being alone around people who weren't part of the crew and whom he didn't know and trust.<br/><br/>Ducking her head, Elfi scuttled past them with a murmured, ""Excuse me, sir,"" to the Colonel and a darting glance beneath her hair towards Braxton.  The water she'd covered the potatoes with to keep them from browning was already murky with the starch and threatened to slop over onto the deck.  She leaned it into her and let her apron soak it up instead, and a damp spot spread like a clear gunshot.<br/><br/>Once past them, she stopped and stood against the wall, clutching the pot like a talisman, and waited until they were out of sight.  Elfi cringed and tossed her head, feeling the encircling mass of the collar around her slender neck.  Braxton had been known to use it to express his displeasure and she hoped he wasn't reaching into his pocket for the control unit.<br/><br/><br/>“We lost the ASREVs to make room for more cargo, but we kept the shuttles. I use one to be a little less… obvious when getting around planetside and I rent out the other to contractors. Used to have a prospector on board but now we got a better offer. Not many ships out here can boast to be travelling with a real companion on board.”<br/><br/>“A companion…why would a companion…?”<br/><br/>“Not really unusual. Lots of whores are flying the stars, Colonel. Remote mining colonies, space stations… there are desperate customers everywhere. But a companion gives the ship some credibility. When people look at this ship, they think:<em>patrol cruiser</em>. And that’s really bad for business. The profitable kind, at least. But with her on board, we can easily pose as a VIP transport.”<br/><br/>“Sounds solid.”<br/><br/>“Yeah. She is a major pain in the ass, though. But usually she keeps to her shuttle.”<br/><br/>""Unless she wishes to be a pain in the ass in person, Captain.""  Serenity's sea green eyes fell fully upon the man as she all but silently challenged him to say something similar again.  Despite wearing a rather revealing form hugging robe of intricate design, mostly of black and gold thread interwoven into each other which to some gave her an imposing, almost regal look given her perfectly figured form and almost snow white skin, Serenity's very presence was that of calm and gentleness that one could almost compare to the sea when it was at rest.  She was not as calm regarding insults to her or her station in life as most Companions were, and she wasn't afraid to speak her mind about the issue either.  Of course, she wasn't afraid to speak her mind about a lot of things, hence why she normally stayed on her shuttle since it was found early on the Captain was a slave owner.  Normally that would have been a deal breaker from the start but something about him and his crew intrigued her to no end.  She had yet to figure out what that might be.  Turning to the man he had with him though, Serenity's composure returned almost as if a switch had been hit and her beautifully crafted face managed a radiant smile as she spoke next to him.  ""Despite his rather brash nature, I am here to do what little I can to aid his and his crew.  Maybe even keep them out of trouble from time to time, but I doubt I'll be as successful as I hope.""  She teased lightly, hoping to draw an agreeable smile out of the man if nothing else.  Considering she was a Companion and it was her job to know how people would react however, it was unlikely she'd get any negative response, but some people were nearly impossible to get an angle on, even for her.<br/><br/>""If you'll excuse me Captain, you are not the only one busy at the moment.  Sir, I bid you good day and many pleasant nights to come.""  Serenity said to the Captain's guest, again giving him a warm smile since she had no quarrel with him in particular.  The trip to the stars with the Captain however, would see many days and nights of quite heated arguments most likely whenever they were in the same room together.  Such passion could potentially lead to a few very steamy nights in bed together, but Serenity was of the mind that she'd rather mate with a dog first.  Of course, stranger things had happened out in the Verse, so who was to say what way the winds would blow?<br/><br/><br/><br/>“I see you kept the brig.” The Colonel remarked as they walked past an empty cell.<br/><br/>“Yes. That’s what sets The Line apart from the usual free traders and tramp freighters. No wonder they have no discipline on board. Besides…” Braxton let his hand slide over the solid steel bars “…I use them to store valuable cargo. Some goods, you don’t want to stow where the crew and passengers can just walk in…”<br/><br/>The Colonel nodded as they walked on. “Oh this one looks awful nice for a prison cell!” He remarked and pointed to the left where one of the larger ‘communal’ cells had been decorated with warm lights and flowery motives. A curtain even provided some privacy to the corridor.<br/><br/>“Yeah. We don’t have plumbing and stuff...” Braxton pointed at the shower and toilet in the corner “…everywhere on the ship. So once we ran out of living space, the brig was the obvious choice.” The iron bar door was not locked and he pushed it open. Inside, the cell was even more girly than from the outside with paintings and colorful knitted drapes on the walls. A young woman was lounging around on the bed, reading, but she quickly jumped to her feet as the captain entered. “This here is Mya, our ship’s surgeon. She studied on Osirus. Bright kid that one.” He explained while he picked up random objects from her nightstand and examined them curiously. “Could have been one of the top surgeons in the Core, or so I’m told.”<br/><br/>The Colonel looked at Braxton, confused both by his casual disregards of the woman’s privacy and by the fact that few free traders could afford a real doctor, not to mention one who had trained on Osirus. The woman volunteered no information and just stood there, head slightly bowed, while Captain Early rummaged through her personal things. She wore a fancy, though slightly faded, core-style silk dress that accented her curves. And no amount of wear could conceal the fact that she wore it very, very well.<br/><br/>“Mya here found herself in some serious trouble. So I sold her a very special ticket out of it and she is still working off the debt.” He finally solved the mystery: The woman was indentured labor.<br/><br/>It took the Colonel a moment to digest this new information and when he looked up again, he was presented with a sleek, shiny, silver…<em>vibrator</em>that the Captain had fished out of her nightstand.<br/><br/>“Well… who would have thought.” Braxton remarked casually. The woman was visibly flushed, with anger and with shame, and she finally stepped up to take a stand. Her hands at her sides were balled to little fists of rage. The Captain stared her down, his eyes meeting hers for a long moment before she lowered her gaze again in submission. “Mya…” Braxton said and pointed at her with the tip of the silver vibe. “…don’t you have some straightening up to do in the infirmary before we lift off?”<br/><br/>“Yes…Mr. Early, Sir.” She acknowledged through clenched teeth and rushed past them, literally fleeing from her embarrassment. As she hurried by, Braxton raised his hand and gave her a little smack to her well-formed rump to send her on her way.<br/><br/><br/>“And this would be the bridge, Keri’s realm.” The Captain finally announced. Patrol cruisers had a roomy bridge with several crew stations. On this one, all but the piloting and navigation console had been ripped out and lose cable ends still poked out from the makeshift floor where the missing weapons stations had been. In place of the missile launch command console, a large, faded leather sofa was placed against the starboard wall. A pile of star charts and some recreational books stood stacked at the foot end and a warm blanket was laid out over it. It looked like the pilot was<em>living</em>here.<br/><br/>“Keri is the best pilot I have ever known.”  Braxton quickly blurted out before the Colonel could remark on her living conditions. “She can get The Line in and out before anyone knows it. Fly under the radar. And with our speed… well let’s just say that there are not many ships or skippers in the Verse that can catch Keri or my baby.”<br/><br/>Braxton reached out to fondly pat the steel wall of his ‘baby’ but he accidentally reached into an opening left by the removal of the ship’s weaponry, where he promptly got stuck.<br/><br/>“And that concludes our tour, Colonel. As you can see, in case the Independence calls us, we are ready.” He announced, trying to sound proud and soldierly, ready for hardship and sacrifice even as he struggled to wiggle his hand free.<br/><br/>“And in the meantime, let’s try to turn a profit. Keri, liftoff in five!”<br/><br/>The pilot’s chair turned around and the Colonel was surprised to be faced with an attractive young woman not even half his age. She had a boyish cut and her red hair played coyly around her angelic face.<br/><br/>“Yes, captain!” She acknowledged with a smile and The Line shuddered under their feet as she put the powerful engines into pre-launch warm up.<br/>"

Elfi had stacked it in the middle of a similar pile then stuck the scrap of burlap under her apron and her shift.  It rubbed at her belly something fierce, making it itch and go red, but it was worth the discomfort.<br/><br/>Mya was out.  She'd seen the doctor headed towards the doctorin' room with mad in her every step.  Probably Master Early was rubbing it in again, like he wanted to rub his pecker into her but was too much the gentleman to do so.  What it did mean was that for a litle bit, Elfi was not going to have to worry about Mya peering in on her from behind her fancy cloth walls. Elfi's cell lacked anything but her neatly folded blanket on the floor, but she liked to pretend from time to time that the barred open wall she shared with Mya's area was her own, and the cloth was part of some fine curtains she'd pulled over the window.<br/><br/>Elfi reached under her shift and pulled out the burlap, then put her hand right back under it and scratched at her tummy.  The discomfort faded with the excitement she felt, and Elfi knelt in the far back corner of her cell and reached into a little ventilation shaft set near the floor.  Almost flush with the deck on her belly, her slender arms reached and reached and reached inside, twisting past the curve, and finally closed on Melly's leg.  Elfi drew the little rag doll out and sat with her back to the cell door, cradling it in her lap.<br/><br/>""I brunged you a present, Melly,"" she whispered to the doll.  ""Remember how you told me you was cold up in there and scared?  And how being with me under the blanket at night made you feel safe?  Well, look,"" she said and presented her doll with the square of burlap.  ""Elfi got you your own blanket, honey bunch.  Ain't it fine?  Feel it.""  Her hand took the doll's arm and stroked it along the blanket, then mimed walking the doll across her lap and jumping up to hug her.<br/><br/>""That's sweet, Melly.  I love you too.  Now, go on and let's get you all wrapped up and back in the safe place.  I've got to get back to chores.""  Patient, work roughened fingers folded the blanket around the doll, tucked it in, then she kissed the bit of rag and stuffing tenderly.  ""Be good now,"" she whispered then pushed the doll back into its hiding spot.  Elfi stood, smiling, and left her cell to go about the next chore."

Then she had spotted those Talon bully boys asking around her old neighbourhood about her. How had the Talon's even found out about the job? Contacts inside the police? Well, it really didn't matter now, after all, she was away, there was no paper trail, the identity she had used to secure passage on this ship was a new one she should be free for a while.<br/><br/>Of course it could take six months or more for the heat to die off. She had paid for three months passage up front to 'See the verse', with more to come if she felt she needed to stay gone longer.

Fortunately for their suppliers, it was, though the hold was quite cramped by the time he and Phil had finished their work. That done he tucked his clipboard under his arm, adjusted his hat and set off for his bunk. He figured that the captain would want to have a communal meal, it was something that he did when they broke atmo sometimes. In any case, he wanted to get changed out of his current outfit and in to something a bit cleaner.<br/><br/>In his bunk he quickly stripped and changed. His body was thin but solid with muscle, and he was a bit stronger than most would think from his build. A number of scars covered his forearms, all made by cold steel of one sort or another, but he had been lucky to avoid any of the nastier injuries that went with his profession.<br/><br/>It was about this time that he heard the Captains announcement, summoning the crew and passengers to the galley. His duster was left hanging on the hook by the door. His hat was hung almost reverently atop that, leaving his short dirty blonde hair uncovered. A hand absently ran across his chin but he decided that shaving could wait for a few more days until he really didn't looked presentable. His gun belt, holding his six round revolver and his extra ammunition. The shotgun stayed on its mount above his trunk, while his knife was slid into his boot. It wasn't that he expected dinner to get violent but he had never heard of a man dying because he was too careful.<br/><br/>Before leaving he picked up the clipboard, intending to give it to the Captain after dinner, or to use it as a distraction if things started heating up between the Companion and the Captain. It may be old fashioned of him but he believed that dinner was not a place for fighting, it was for eating. And Sue was a good cook. Not like what he remembered from the ranch of course but infinitely better than what many ships had. So with hopes of something delicious in his mind and clipboard under his arm he left his bunk and made his way to the galley."

Now she was languishing at the State's pleasure back on Ariel, she had been for far too many years. Certainly far beyond the likely memory of those involved in the original incident.

Mostly she ignored their talk, but a small smile tugged the corners of her lips when the Captain called it ""Keri's realm"". It was a rather accurate assessment since she'd taken over the bridge as her own domain. It was her own little world and she guarded it as jealously as many of the others guarded their bunks.<br/><br/>When she'd hired on as the pilot, all the arms stations had already been ripped out. She'd had the other consoles, except the one she actually needed to pilot the boat, taken out as well. They took up space and she didn't need a back-up pilot messing with her input when things were in a crunch. Most of the exposed wiring had been capped but there were still a few loose wires, as the Captain found out the hard way when he carelessly hit one. That made her smirk slightly...would teach him to pay more attention.<br/><br/>Hearing a description of the bridge, and it's alterations, would probably make it sound like a total mess, but it was actually well maintained. The vast majority of the wiring was capped and coiled back out of the way. Some of the open spaces actually had coverings over them to give splashes of color and her books, startcharts, and couch gave the area around her console a cozy feel. Against the opposite wall, farthest from her console, an area had been made up so that they could actually grow a small plot of vegetable as well. It wasn't huge but it did offer some variety to their meals and the grow lights were dim enough that she could ignore them most of the time. It meant having to tolerate having other people around at times when she might rather have them gone, but for fresh food it was worth the inconvenience.<br/><br/>When she finally turned to acknowledge the Captain, and his guest, she flashed a cheeky grin, enjoying the surprise on the other mans face at her youthful appearance. More than one person had been surprised by the fact that such a young woman could handle the ship, but Keri had yet to find the boat she couldn't fly.<br/><br/>Feeling the shudder of the engines coming online, a low purring filled Keri's throat. She lived for the feel of the engines thrumming under her feet, the shiver of metal and wire and motion under<em>her</em>control. Outside of a raging orgasm, it was her favorite feeling in the 'Verse.<br/><br/><em>""Keri, it's Sue.  Will our ace pilot be joinin' us to eat in 20 minutes?  Or shall Ah have your meal brought up?""</em><br/><br/>Sue's voice drew her from her enjoyment of the feel of the engines, but his words promised the satisfaction of another hunger so she forgave him almost instantly. Anyone who could cook as well as he did, deserved forgiveness!<br/><br/>""I'll be down once we clear atmo and I can put her on auto-pilot. Make sure those heathens we call crew mates don't eat everything before I get there!"" she answered with a laugh before turning off the intercom and concentrating on lifting the ship from land and setting her soaring.<br/><br/>She heard the Captain come back in but ignored him until she had cleared atmo and the debris that circled most planets. Moons, various space junk, other ships approaching; anything that wasn't<em>The Line</em>was debris in her world. Once clear she flashed her Captain a grin and gave him a nod, ""I'll be down to eat soon's I change clothes Captain,"" she promised before flipping a few switches and spinning some dials, making it look almost haphazard as she set the ships auto-pilot before leaving the bridge and darting into her own small bunk...which was the first door off the bridge.<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Misc%20Story%20Accessories/lacedress.jpg)</div>Normally she'd just go eat in her denims and a comfortable shirt, but since they had passengers, she preferred to look a bit more presentable, and a bit less standoff-ish. The pale pink of the lace gave her a more feminine appearance, softening the normal rough-edged look she portrayed into something warmer, more inviting and friendly. On a taller woman it would have barely reached her knees, but on Keri's mere 5'3 height, it easily hit mid-calf making it less revealing then it might have been otherwise as well. Now that there heading into the Black again, and with no worries for being planetside anytime soon, she didn't bother with putting her boots back on her feet. Instead she savored the smooth thrumming that came up through the ship, letting it sink in and vibrate through her petite frame through the soles of her feet.<br/><br/>A quick swipe of her fingers tamed her hair into some semblence of order and just a dash of clear gloss actually had her looking like a<em>girl</em>instead of a an elfin, dare-devil of a pilot. She'd never come up to the standards of a Companion like Serenity, but she was pleased enough with her own reflection in the small mirror on her wall.<br/><br/>When she finally entered the Galley she flashed a grin at Sue and dared to saunter into the kitchen to steal a quick bite of what he'd been cooking before darting out with a laugh before he could respond to her thievery! She would never actually invade the kitchen while Sue was cooking, but now that the meal was done and just waiting to be served she felt safe enough so long as she stayed out of the way. She saw it much like someone coming to the bridge...interrupt her while actually flying hard and you'd likely loose a head...or worse...wait until the adrenaline had worn down and you'd be welcome enough.<br/><br/>""Fantastic! As always Sue, you are pure genius in the kitchen!"" she praised. It was both sincerely meant, and meant to appease him for her encroaching on his space. ""I hadn't realized how hungry I was until I smelled it down the hall. You are going to well and truly spoil us all, she added with a small grin that said she wouldn't mind being spoiled.<br/><br/>Seeing that folks were starting to settle she flashed a grin at those she knew, and nodded to the new faces before claiming a seat of her own and waiting for the food to be brought to the table so they could all eat."

Lance continued surfing the Cortex for a few minutes after Captain Braxton's announcement.  After changing his shirt for a dress shirt only slightly more flattering than the previous t-shirt (and perhaps a bit more faded), Lance deemed himself adequately ""straightened up"" and made his way back down to the galley.<br/><br/>Most of the crew and passengers were already there by the time Lance had arrived.  He yelled a friendly ""quit showing off, Sue!"" at the cook and waved as he made his way to the table.  He nodded to Isi and waved as he said ""hello"" to Serenity.  He noticed that she seemed irritated about something, and figured Braxton had something to do with it.<em>Looks like he struck a nerve first tonight.</em>A quick glance to Mya soon made it clear what had her bothered.  Lance made a point not to sit next to the half-slave/half-doctor and sat down near Keri, smiling as he did so.  ""This is a pleasant surprise"" he said, indicating the dress."

After planting yet another poisonous thought, she effortlessly moved the conversation back to casual banter. Serenity was good; Braxton had to give her that. She was elegant, she was smooth…and she was pure poison. Even her dress shimmered in the overhead light like so many snake scales.<br/><br/>Fortunately, he had his hand on the thigh of a lovely girl and that mellowed him out enough not to make a scene. He took another spoonful of Sue’s delicious stew and closed his eyes, savoring the taste and the sensation of Mya’s soft, soft skin at the same time. When the taste was slowly fading, he had to take a big gulp of water to cool him down some and stop his vision from spinning. There was something about the young doctor that just got to him – and in a good way, too. She was something special. He licked his lips, taking in the stew’s residue and then suddenly, sagely, nodded his head.<br/><br/><em>Spicy!</em>That was it: Mya was spicy.<br/><br/>Even though he could do everything he wanted with Elfie, anything a man could want to do with a woman – and he had done most of it on occasion – there was no real excitement. Elfie was<em>bland</em>. There was no flavor to her, just the satisfaction of his biological needs. A bland meal that lead to a full stomach – but nothing else.<br/><br/>His eyes made the round, trying to see if he could apply his newfound metaphor to the other women on the crew. Keri looked lovely in her sundress. When The Line was underway, the ship was always as warm as spring on Maydenfair. Space was cold, but a ship was a thermos bottle in vacuum. Getting excess heat<em>out</em>was usually the bigger engineering challenge than keeping her warm. So Keri’s dress could be called sensible, even if it was unusual for her to wear it. And how she<em>wore</em>it! Good things certainly came in small packages. Braxton could certainly understand the attraction some of the menfolk around the table were showing towards her now that she was showing off her beauty a little more. And she had spirit, too. A fire. A taste. Keri certainly wasn’t bland. But somehow, Braxton never felt<em>that way</em>towards her aside from a purely biological arousal at the sight of her lovely body in a tight dress. Some folk liked strawberries and other’s preferred grapes. Some cultures considered beef the highest form of eating and others eschewed meat entirely from the table. Tastes differed. Braxton nodded: Keri had a taste, but it probably wasn’t his.<br/><br/>And Serenity? He didn’t feel the vibrant attraction towards her that he felt towards Mya – and yet even he had to admit that the companion was hands down the most beautiful woman in the room. Braxton had some trouble wrapping his mind around this one. But then Keri spoke up and indirectly gave him the inspiration he needed:<br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong>“I hadn't realized how hungry I was until I smelled it down the hall. You are going to well and truly spoil us all.” </strong></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><strong>“Only as long as we have fresh groceries, I’m afraid. We stocked up in port, but once those run out our little greenery can only provide a small reprieve from the canned, flavored proteins we have to fall back on.”</strong>Braxton cautioned the enthusiasm for Sue’s cooking, even though he had made sure that they ate comparably well on The Line. Food issues were the number two cause for mutinies, right after late pay, and there would be a sudden drop in food quality mid-journey when the fresh stuff ran out. Switching to protein cans and artificial flavoring was always a downer for morale and he wanted his crew to be prepared for that.<br/><br/>And then it hit him: Artificial flavor! Serenity was artificial flavor. Nothing about her feelings was real; it was all just a practiced act. Sure, lesser men fell for her like flies, but then again, flies were not renowned for being gourmets, either. Any stale soda pop would do, as long as it was sweet. A smile crossed Braxton’s lips. Serenity would hate this metaphor and he cherished it even more for it. Sure, she<em>was</em>a beautiful woman but Braxton was not interested. Of course he occasionally wondered who the real Serenity was…but as cold and calculating as she was, she would have to hang over the volcanoes edge for quite some time to boil away all this artificial, sticky and sickeningly sweet aroma of hers. Serenity was a candy apple: red and tempting and sweet on the outside, not to mention:<em>sticky</em>. And, yes, maybe there was a juicy fruit inside…but it might as well be worm-riddled and rotten and there was no way to tell except to take a bite – and Braxton would have none of that poisonous, forbidden fruit.<br/><br/>Finally, satisfied with his musings, Braxton turned to Mya. His hand under the table was still stroking her inner thigh, keeping her aroused and off balance.<br/><br/><strong>“You really are my kind of flavor, Mya.”</strong>He whispered into her ear. It was probably the nicest thing he had said to her all week.<br/>"

We stocked up in port, but once those run out our little greenery can only provide a small reprieve from the canned, flavored proteins we have to fall back on.”</strong></em><br/><br/>I punctuated his sentence with the pop of a champagne bottle.<br/><br/><strong>""Ain't that the truth, Captain.  Ah take a certain amount of pride in makin' food that's tasty as well as fillin', but the reality is that prepared food is only as good as its ingredients.  Can't make a gourmet meal out of animal feed.  We'll be good for two days, but then Ah'll need to go a-shoppin' on Shadow for wherever the black takes us next.""</strong><br/><br/>I went behind each crewmember and passenger, reaching around to pour them some champagne.  As I poured, I spoke some more.<br/><br/><strong>""Ah'm more of a whiskey man, myself, and Ah do have some of that here for all of ya'll that are interested, but I heard from a reliable source that this here bubbly will make the flavor of the peppers and potatoes really pop in your mouth.""</strong><em>And put everyone in a more civil, friendly, hopefully playful and ideally naughty mood, too.</em><br/><br/>Finally, I sat down, making sure even Elfi had a glass.  Standing, I raised mine in a toast, looking at each guest as I spoke of them.<strong>""To the Line, may she, and her captain, and his first mate, and her pilot, and her <em>engineer</em>, and her doctor, and her domestic help, and the rest of her crew, and her passengers, have a fast, safe, enjoyable, peaceful journey.  <em>Gan beyh*</em>.""</strong><br/><br/>I sat down and started eating, paying special attention to the way the ladies reacted to the food.  I loved feeding women.  The way they closed their eyes and tilted their heads back and moved their mouths and made ""mmm"" sounds made all the time and effort worthwhile.<br/><br/><em>*Bottoms up, or literally ""dry cup""<br/><br/></em>"

To Sue, for whom being a fantastic cook is just one of his many talents!”</strong><br/><br/>Braxton couldn’t really take Elfi’s glass in front of everyone, but neither could he let the toast stand as the man had probably<em>meant</em>it. So he gave his slave permission to drink with a nod and tried to ignore the situation as much as possible. With any luck, Sue would quietly accept the compliment and not rectify the ‘misunderstanding’.<br/><br/>The captain shook his head as Elfi hurried to to top off his glass. These people! Didn’t they have<em>any</em>propriety? Letting the girl drink the good stuff – and at the table, no less – was bad enough. But mentioning her with praise in the same sentence as proper gentlemen and ladies? That was…unthinkable. The serpent across the table was smiling of course, probably silently congratulating herself for another poisonous pinprick well delivered.<br/><br/>As if putting big ideas into the slave girl’s head would help her any! The foolish bleeding hearts from the Core all acted as if Elfie could somehow lift herself up from the mud like proper folk if she only got enough encouragement. But Braxton knew slaves long enough to know that this was never the case. All teaching or freeing a slave had ever gotten anyone was a walking, talking drinking problem on welfare…or a bullet in the back.<br/><br/>Did he really have to point out who picked the bountiful crops they were eating? Who cut the wood and made the chairs they were sitting on? Who mined the He<sub>3</sub>that propelled them through the void? And not a single one of them gave a gorram thought about it, although it must have been on the backs of their minds on occasion. No, these people were not helping Elfi, they probably didn't even<em>meant</em>to help her. All they did was help themselves not feel guilty for the comforts they enjoyed and she did not. And there was no changing it, because that was the way the Verse turned, no matter how much you hollered at it to stop.<br/><br/>In their selfishness, all they did was make sure that Elfi needed more straightening out later, never thinking about how unpleasant that might be for all involved.

He was pleasantly surprised by Keri's attire, not even knowing she owned anything like that. Of course that was probably just because he had never seen her in anything but denim and cotton, though most people did own a set of nice clothing for formal occasions. This was the first dinner of a new voyage after all, and with a new passenger. Maybe he should have gotten his fancy clothing out as well, but it was too late to go and change. Besides if he left, he wouldn't be around to try and stave off any sort of conflict between Captain Early and Serenity. He supported his Captain in many of his decisions, that was his job of course, but he was allowed to disagree in private. And sometimes the Captain needed to be disagreed with, if only so that he saw the potential problems in a plan.<br/><br/>The soup was served and surprisingly champagne was poured. He didn't mind the bubbly drink, it was the favoured drink at the Militia Balls and other formal gatherings where he grew up. His tastes belonged more to vodka or plain beer than the fancy drinks. Whether this was actually personal taste or resentment of the pompousness of the planetary militia he neither knew nor cared. Unfortunately for him his vodka had run out and he hadn't managed to find any before taking off. It didn't matter, he wasn't a man who needed a constant supply of drink, and he should be able to get some when they touched down.<br/><br/>Still, he joined the toast, with a modest sip of his champagne, and raised his glass a second time to join the toast to Sue for his excellent cooking. After that he fell into his meal, relishing the taste of fresh produce and keeping an eye on the developing conflict between Serenity and Captain Early. he did have a number of plans to try and keep dinner civil, but for now he hoped that the two of them could simply call a truce and let everyone else enjoy their dinner.<br/><br/>Any hope of that was lost when Elfie spilled some soup onto the passenger. An inner sense, the same one that started tingling whenever he thought there was going to be an ambush, started up, making his stomach clench in anticipation of what was going to happen. Acting quickly he stood and grabbed his napkin, moving to the site of  the spill after the initial reaction. He firmly but gently moving Elfie back away from the table.<br/><br/>""Lesson in drinking Elfie, never do it on an empty stomach."" he muttered to the slave then turned his attention back to Isi. The soup was hot after all. ""Here miss."" he said, handing her the napkin while praying that whatever fallout would occur from this incident would happen after dinner. ""Are you alright?"""

The smuggler knew that it wasn't through any charity of the captain, but rather it was something Sue had done, even if it may have been accidental or covert.

Hopefully Braxton wouldn't be brash enough to try punishing Elfi in front of everyone else aboard, especially Serenity, but something he had learned from his days dodging the Purplebellies in the Core was that it never hurt to be prepared in the event of a situation going south. It looked like he would be down to visit her after dinner as well, maybe under the pretense of double-checking the small amount of the inventory being stored in the brig.<br/><br/>However, he relaxed a little when Braxton simply reprimanded everyone present rather than pinning blame solely on Elfi. Still, he had to almost bite his tongue when the captain started deriding her. He was the one who put her in that social standing in the first place.

She might have said something to them, but, by then, the back and forth between the Captain and the Companion was in full swing and instead she simply glanced at them and rolled her eyes.<br/><br/><em>Couldn't they give it a rest for one meal?</em><br/><br/>With a bowl in front of her and the vibrations of<em>The Line</em>tickling her feet, Keri was in a fantastic mood. A mood she thought nothing could spoil...a thought that was quickly proved wrong. The tension between the Captain and Serenity was annoying but would have been tolerable if that had been the only problem at the table. Sadly it wasn't. While she joined everyone else in their toast, she only sipped at her champagne because she didn't drink much, she noticed that the Captain's hand never came above the table and rolled her eyes. It was clear Mya was trying to act as if nothing was happening but since none of them were idiots they all knew it was. It was such a crass thing to do at the table and while the Captain was certainly free to play whatever games he wanted with his slave and his indentured servant, Keri was neither and felt no need to be forced to watch.<br/><br/>With her appetite spoiled and her temper already rising, the Captain's chastising them like a group of children was enough to make it bubble over. The man had<em>no</em>cause to caution her against drinking on the bridge. Hell in the last eight months he'd seen her drink all of twice at all...counting the few sips she'd just taken! It wasn't bad enough to snipe at Serenity while the rest were at dinner, or to be playing with the doc like she was some sort of toy and expect the rest to watch and remain silent, not he thought to tell her how best to do her own damned job as well!<br/><br/>It was a reminder of why she so rarely bothered to come down the Galley to eat with everyone.<br/><br/>Pushing her still, mostly, full bowl away she stood. The teasing that had been in her eyes when she'd come into the Galley was gone, replaced with simmering anger, disapproval, and an extreme level of annoyance. At her side, her fingers twitched slightly, clearly seeking the comfort of the dagger she usually wore, but that had been left in her bunk when she'd changed. She wouldn't have used it on anyone, but when she was out of sorts it was a touchstone, it calmed her to know it was there and now it wasn't...which only made her more tense.<br/><br/>Glancing to Sue she gave him a small nod before speaking her voice tight with reproach, though not for Sue, ""Sue my apologies, but I've lost my appetite. I feel no need to continue sitting here while being chastised like a child for something I had no part in, while the person doing the chastising expects me to just ignore his below the table antics. Since I've got interest in watching the doctor cum at the table, I'll be heading back to the bridge. Anyone who doesn't plan on acting like a feh feh pi goh* can feel free to come up and play cards later.""<br/><br/>Turning on her heel she stalked toward the doorway with a predatory grace given by the type of anger the petite pilot rarely let show. Pausing she turned, her eyes snapping to the Braxton's, not bothering to hide her anger with him, or the fact that she blamed him for spoiling her good mood, ""And if you expect to take a shift at the control panel...wash your hands first.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>*Feh feh pi goh = a baboons asscrack"

""Now, if you're sure you're alright I'll excuse myself and be getting back to my meal.""<br/><br/>He stayed standing as Captain Early made his little announcement. He resisted the urge to let out a long sigh as the ""no drinking"" rule was specified. Keri was too concerned about the ship to do anything that might endanger her, and Richard himself was too much the professional to even consider drinking on the job. He didn't say anything of course, and just thought it would have been for the benefit of any of the people who decided to come up to the bridge when Keri's outburst erupted. He agreed with what she said, especially the bit about the Captain playing with Mya which he had simply been ignoring in the interest of trying to keep a civil table which had been blown to hell like usual.<br/><br/>As the dining group began to separate, Richard did allow his shoulders to slump in defeat, another attempt at having a quiet dinner ruined.

She wasn't sure what made her angrier, that the Captain and Serenity being themselves had ruined her dinner, or that she'd worn a dress and had a pleasant evening blown to hell and back. In the end it didn't matter, dinner was shot and now she was going to be hungry in less than an hour because she hadn't eaten the food Sue had cooked. Actually that probably upset her more than anything. Sue was an excellent cook and they wouldn't have that many fresh meals out in the Black. To have missed out on one didn't improve her mood.<br/><br/>Reaching her bunk she didn't bother shutting the door. She'd hear anyone coming and the only real angle to see in from would be standing on the Bridge. Since no one was up there, no one would see her. Shimmying out of her dress she found a large, man's, button down shirt and a pair denim pants. While the shirt swallowed her torso, the pants clung to her legs and ass like a second skin. There was no point in wearing a dress on the Bridge after all.  She probably should have taken better care of it, but she was still annoyed enough that she left the soft pink lace on her floor before sliding out and up to the Bridge itself.<br/><br/>One would expect her bunk, her one area of true privacy, to be her sanctuary...but they'd be wrong. This was her place, her<em>realm</em>as the Captain had called it earlier and she lived here far more than she ever did in her bunk. Her bunk was basically a glorified closet and storage space. Flopping down onto her couch, she stretched out, her head hanging over one arm while she stared out into the Black. She was never afraid when she looked out on the endless night. The countless pinpoints of light that made up stars, galaxies, nebulae and all the various wonder of the 'Verse simply soothed something inside of her.<br/><br/>Staring out the largest window on the ship, her anger and annoyance leaked away and, gradually, a small, contented, smile curved her lips. Without realizing it, her fingers drummed out a small rhythm on her stomach while she let her mind get lost in the stars."

He had been cool throughout the exchange with Sue and he was sure that, if it had come to that, he would have been able to shoot the man down where he stood.

It was so bad that he had trouble getting the six-shooter back in its holster.<br/><br/>When he was done with the gun, he reached for the bottle of now-stale bubbly and emptied it in one go.

""Last I heard, The Captain wanted himself, Keri and me to rotate. Jus' cause I don't know how to fly don' mean I can't sound the gorram alarm when something goes wrong."" He left it at that though, and since the Captain hadn't said anything about a schedule, he wasn't going to be writing one. He figured he would just go up to the bridge in a bit to see how things were going.<br/><br/>Sues outburst struck a chord with Richard, particularly the part about sitting down to have a nice dinner, but he wouldn't simply stand aside if there was going to be a mutiny. His hand was on his holster just in case things got violent, and his knuckles turned white when Captain Early pulled his own piece. Thankfully the situation didn't reach the breaking point, though Richard wasn't sure how long things would last before someone fired a shot. Hopefully things would settle down given time. He decided right then that he would have to go around and have a talk with all parties involved, just try and make sure this didn't happen again.<br/><br/>Serenity would be his first stop. Sue and Keri looked like they might need some time to calm down, and the Captain would be busy for a while with Mya. So he left the galley without a word, finally able to relax his grip on his revolver, and began the walk to the shuttle bay where Serenity docked. In his mind he tried to come up with something to say that wouldn't sound like an accusation or an apology, and failed. He stopped before the docking bay and straightened out his outfit, took a deep breath and approached the shuttle, knocking on the door.<br/><br/>When it was opened, he took off his hat in a show of respect and said. ""Uh, Mistress Serenity, I was wondering if I could talk to you about what happened at dinner? Won't take but a moment of your time."" I hope, was the silent addition. He didn't want to sound like he was accusing her of starting a fight, because she probably wouldn't react all that well to that, but he wasn't about to start trying to apologise for the Captains actions either. A man had a right to his opinion, and as far as he could tell, Captain Early hadn't broken any written laws by owning Elfie, just a moral code with what he did at the table with the doctor. This was probably going to be a difficult conversation, which was the other reason he was here first. Sue and Keri might be a bit easier to talk to, and the Captain would be another difficulty."

So when Lance had said his piece, Braxton just<em>grabbed</em>the young doctor and dragged her to his cabin. They didn’t make it to his bunk. They didn’t even make it<em>inside</em>his cabin. When fumbling with the keypad became too troublesome for him, Braxton just pushed Mya up against the still-closed door and pulled up her dress. The panties underneath were already pushed to the side and her pussy was moist and inviting. Braxton didn’t need any further encouragement.<br/><br/>The rutt was hard and fast, his hips hammering the indentured doctor against the cabin door again and again until he came. His most pressing need spent for the moment, Braxton buttoned himself up again, while Mya was sliding down onto the floor. She couldn’t really steady herself and fell backwards into the room when the door finally opened with a hiss.<br/><br/><strong>”On the bed!”</strong>Braxton told her as he got out of his shirt.<strong>”Naked!”</strong><br/><br/>Mya complied, quickly stripping out of her faded core-style silk dress and even spreading her legs for him, fully expecting him to finish what he had started. But to the girl’s surprise, the Captain did not follow her to bed. Instead, he applied some deodorant and changed into a fresh shirt and pants.<strong>”I will be back in a moment.</strong>” he announced and turned to the door. Mya shot him a look that was a mixture of need and<em>disbelief</em>.<br/><br/>In an afterthought, Braxton returned to the bed, reached into his nightstand and took out a pair of handcuffs. He roughly seized the doctor’s flailing hands and cuffed her to the headboard.<strong>”So you don’t continue without me.""</strong>He told her and took out some duct tape.<strong>""But we don’t want you to get bored, either, now do we?”</strong>He ripped off a piece of tape and fixated the silver vibrator he had confiscated from Mya to her crotch.<strong>”Be good!”</strong>he told her and set the vibe to ‘low’. When he was done preparing Mya for his return, Braxton washed his hands and then left for good.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>”Permission to come onto the bridge?”</strong>Braxton asked politely but didn’t wait for Keri to reply. The woman sure loved the ship – which was usually a good trait in a pilot – but sometimes he wondered if she didn’t love it<em>a little bit too much</em>. He had tolerated the books and charts, eventually even the sofa, but there had to be limits. Keri might not like it, but this was<em>the bridge</em>and not her private den.<br/><br/><strong>”I…uh…I brought you stew. Sue stew. You kinda left the table in a hurry.”</strong>He finally said and held the dish in her direction like a male spider offering a captured bug to the female, hoping not to get eaten.<strong>”I guess I made a bit of an ass out of myself today.”</strong>He finally admitted. There. Apology done.<strong>”But the next time you call me out all righteous and stuff, I must ask you to do it in <em>private</em>. Nerves were tense. What you said didn’t really calm the situation and things got even more heated when you left. Long story short, I almost had to shoot the man who made the soup. Things are good now, I think. I hope. But we are all trapped in this cramped piece of metal hurtling through the black. And no one has a hidey hole away from it all. Just saying. Better be careful when you rock the boat next time. I sure will.<br/><br/>Enjoy the stew. I, gotta run. I still have something…uh…on the fire. Take care of her, Keri.”</strong>Braxton pointed at the consoles, meaning the ship.<strong>”I will take my watch in seven.”</strong><br/>"

He flashed her a quick smile.<br/><br/>At her warning about the passenger, Richard cocked his head to the side and thought for a moment. The girl didn't seem to be anything suspicious, but that was a suspicion in itself. Nobody simply decided to hop on a cargo ship and see the sights without a reason. Still he wasn't sure if the girl could cause enough damage on her own, but if she was running from someone or hiding something that could get the crew killed that was worth watching.<br/><br/>""Thank you for the warning, I'll try to make sure she stays out of trouble."" It was about then that he heard Elfie on the speaker for the com unit. ""Well, there's your girl now Miss. I'll be getting to see the other crew members now, so I'll bid you a good night."" He gave a slight bow of respect before turning and leaving the shuttle, putting his hat back on as he did so.<br/><br/>As he passed Elfie, he told her ""The Lady is inside waiting for you."" and continued on his way. He was not unkind or rude in his speech, but neither was he the kind voice of Phil or Serenity either. To him, Elfie and her status just existed, and he while he didn't mistreat her, he didn't go out of his way to be kind either.<br/><br/>After that little encounter he stopped, thinking about who to talk to next. It would have to be Keri or Sue, since Captain Early would most likely still be busy with Mya. He did have a powerful urge to have a look at The Black and besides that the Bridge always seemed like a peaceful place to him. Maybe it was simply the view of the vast open emptiness of The Black, but that was where his temper disappeared. Maybe it would be like that for the rest of the crew, and following that logic, Keri would probably be easier to talk to than Sue, who would be stuck in his bunk. His decision made, he started walking to the bridge, once again trying to figure out exactly what he was going to say to Keri. Hopefully it would get his point across without getting her mad at him."

Naked!”</em>Stumbling towards the bed his order was short and terse.  Pulling the dress over her head and removing her panties Mya obediently crawled onto the bed, her tight moist holes looking up at him in anticipation.<em>”I will be back in a moment.”</em>He told her as he stripped out of his old shirt and slipped into a fresh one.  The feeling of being powerless to understand the actions of her tormentor and being left naked and unsatisfied, Mya's body began to shudder with excitement.  She held her position, planning to remain where she was, ready to receive Braxton, even if it took all night.  She watched out of the corner of her eye as he moved towards the door.  Her surprise came as he turned back towards her and roughly handcuffed her to the headboard.<em>”So you don’t continue without me.""</em>Now, restrained to the bed with her ass in the air, unable to play, being forced to wait in a humiliating position; Mya's body began to tingle.<em>""But we don’t want you to get bored, either, now do we?”</em>The feeling of a softly vibrating dildo inserted into her and taped to her body to hold it in heightened the sense of humiliation as she felt her body clench around the sleek metal inside her.<em>”Be good!” </em>His comment made her giggle quietly to herself as she watched him leave the room.<br/><br/>To her enjoyment, the vibrator was set so low that it simply kept her body just a few inches from any real excitement or enjoyment.  She moaned quietly as the realization of her situation and the constant vibration of the dildo inside her kept her constantly yearning for release.  She had been surprised many years ago to find out that the feeling of being on the edge and not being allowed to have release became more and more exciting to her to the point where a previous mistress would leave her for hours strapped to a machine the fucked her slow and methodically not allowing her to build to an orgasm.  Juices slowly began running down her legs as the smell of her growing desire filled the room."

silently watched Elfi work after she had gotten her tea done in an ornate pot given to her by a former client several years back.  She had had one before but even the Companion standard paled in comparison to the one she used these days.  Hand crafted on Osiris she had been told, and given that she had been on the planet at the time of receiving it she didn't doubt it much.  Still, that wasn't important as she sighed but nodded to Efli's thanks, offering a little smile to the poor thin as a rake young woman.  Too many people suffered as she did in Serenity's opinion and if she could have, she'd have done something about it ages ago.  But she was just one woman.  ""You don't have to thank me for anything Elfi.  Despite what you might think or what Braxton has tried to feed you, I honestly enjoy your company Elfi.""  Serenity replied, a little too sternly perhaps but her less than happy thoughts and feelings weren't directed at the young girl herself.  Watching her, trying to decide to sit or not did make the Companion wonder if she was ever allowed any personal freedom and decided it was probably best not to dwell on it overly much lest she wanted to end up with a really bad headache since she'd have bet her last bit of coin that Braxton treated her as badly if not worse than what she currently looked now.  She didn't exactly smell all that pleasant either but that wasn't any of Elfi's fault she figured.  Still, when the offer of tea was gently denied by Elfi, Serenity nodded once more and didn't press the issue as she helped herself, needing the soothing taste and smell of her brew to calm her nerves a bit either way as she took a slow sip from the equally ornately decorated cup she held between her delicate fingers.<br/><br/>Setting it down for now after almost draining half of it in one shot, Serenity admired Elfi's quick work at the shine job she had done on the mirror and smiled in approval even though again she felt a little guilty having to come up with a reason for Elfi to be here at all.  ""Mmmm, you are most welcome Elfi, and I can understand your hesitance after the whole thing in the galley earlier.  I am sorry you had to be in the middle of that Elfi, truly I am.""  She offered in way of apology to the girl since if Braxton had had a mind to, he would have probably taken his anger out on her if things hadn't turned out as they had and it would have been Serenity's fault by proxy if not downright association in a sense.  Either way, it would have been just as hard on the Companion as it would have been on Elfi herself if he HAD taken his anger out on the poor girl, and she didn't need anymore abuse than she got already on a daily basis.  Still, she was distracted by Elfi's more or less enthused ramblings about Phil and his attempts at teaching her how to read.  Serenity smiled, glad that she had distracted the older woman with tales of his less than satisfactory student at present.  She didn't think for an instant that Elfi could drive Phil crazy enough to the point he'd give up trying, but who knew what might happen tomorrow out here in the Black.  ""I don't believe you can fail him Elfi, as long as you keep making the honest effort to learn I don't think you can ever drive Phil off darling girl.  You'll get it one day, and even if he does despair of it, you can bet your last coin that I'd pick up wherever he left off Elfi, and that's a promise.""  She said to the slave girl before her as she sat down after completing the chore she had set out for Elfi as an excuse to get her here without Braxton getting suspicious hopefully.<br/><br/>When asked about keeping a secret and all however, Serenity cocked her head to the side in curiosity as she sipped a little slower from the cup before her, honestly wondering where this was going but there was no way she'd ever tell whatever it was that was on Elfi's mind to another, Companion silence or not.  ""You obviously don't know much about Companions Elfi.""  Serenity giggled lightly, smiling warmly despite her little laugh she had had at Elfi's expense in a way.  ""We never kiss and tell, is the saying we Companions share.  Even to others like us, we never talk about what it is we do for our Clients to anyone else unless they have broken one of our few rules or have disrespected us to the point that they are black marked.  The point being is that if you wish to tell me something, know that it will never leave this room Elfi, but to answer your question, we all keep secrets Elfi.  Some are harmless, others not so much, but overall we all have things we don't share with anyone, even our most trusted friends or family.  So yes, it's perfectly natural for you to have your own and yours alone Elfi.  Why do you ask?""  She let her sea green eyes go up and down Elfi's face, curious to see what would come next since that had been a bit unexpected even for the Companion, but maybe that was the point?  Either way, Serenity would listen and see what it was that had brought this on if Elfi decided to share of course."

The Captain fouled that right to Hades and back so now I'm back in my comfy gear,"" she said with a shrug before turning her gaze back out the window. She loved staring out at the Black. ""Everything looks good on the scanners. Nothing on the sensors that shouldn't be and none of the blips that<em>are</em>there are altering course to intercept us.""<br/><br/>She felt, more than saw, him take the co-pilot seat. Or what would have been the co-pilot seat if she hadn't had the panel ripped out. She didn't need anyone else mucking with the works when she was flying hard.<br/><br/>""As for the Captain, he can stay in bunk and what he likes with Mya. This kind of quiet, I don't need any relief, especially not from someone who wants to act like a gorram idjit just she can irritate the Companion. Wouldn't trust him with the controls right now if he paid be triple my cut,"" said, the last being muttered almost under breath and sounding rather petulant even to her own ears. Changing the subject she continued, ""The Line's handing just fine. Fling like a dream like she always does for me, not even a shiver to say anything's wrong for you to look at. She's happy as can be,"" she added and reached up to stroke the console in front of her, a soft smile curving her lips as if she were stroking a favored pet.<br/><br/>Lance shrugged when she mentioned the change of mood.<strong>""I was in a good mood when I saw you wearing it.""</strong>He considered saying more, maybe standing up for Braxton a little and admitting that Serenity had contributed a fair amount as well, but decided against it.  He didn't feel like arguing.  Instead, he leaned over and took a look at the displays for a moment, nodding in confirmation that everything seemed okay.<br/><br/><strong>""It's two days until Shadow.  You are going to need to be relieved more than once, Keri.  Sue's confined to quarters and I still have to take care of a few things.  Glad the thruster is working okay, but I'll need to spend some more time on it once we land."" </strong><br/><br/>""Lance, don't tell me what I need in order to fly,"" she said, waving off his concerns about how much rest she may, or may not, need. ""This is a milk run. I can easily set the alarms and simply crash on the couch. Or hell, in my own bunk since it's right next to the Bridge. Still if he wants to relieve me that's fine. We both know he'll call me back if there's trouble.""<br/><br/>Turning her seat toward him she flashed him a quick grin before asking, in a voice clearly meant to tease her friend, ""So, answer me honestly, were you disturbed by, or interested in, what our Captain was doing to the Doctor?""<br/><br/><strong>""I don't like the idea of no one being here if something does decide to come after us.  It's not safe.""</strong>They'd gone through this many times before.  Lance didn't know if she just wanted to be the undisputed pilot or if she just didn't want Braxton on the bridge out of spite, but he decided not to ask.<br/><br/>Seeing the mischievous grin as she turned to face him, Lance immediately grew suspicious.  Those grins always led to something he was uncomfortable with.  The last one had led to<em>""is it true you can divert some of the power from the maneuvering thrusters to make one of these go faster?""</em>This question wasn't as inherently unsafe, though still dangerous.<strong>""I'm going to go with both.  I can honestly say I had never considered doing that in that kind of setting, and the idea is pretty hot.  However, there is no chance of me doing that.""</strong>It wasn't just the idea that was hot.  Mya's body writhing paired with the lustful eyes she made at him had been an instant erection at the time, but he was not going to tell Keri he found another woman hot.<br/><br/>Lance's comment about it being unsafe for Keri to be the only one on the Bridge for an extended period of time simply garnered him a tongue stuck out his way before she leaned over and snatched a blanket that was stretched across the back of her sofa. Locking her controls she flung the blanket around her shoulders and leaned back, bare feet lifted and perching up on the control panel.<br/><br/>Hearing his prevarication to her question she simply laughed and shook her head, ""Should have known another man would find it hot. You're all so damned visually oriented anyway and Mya is a gorgeous girl. Hell if I swung that way I might have found the Captain's little display hot myself. As it is I'm not a voyeur, most of the time, and am surely not interested in watching the Captain rutting, or working his way up to it, while I'm trying to keep my dinner down!""  she added with a laugh and a fresh shake of her head.<br/><br/><strong>""Your concern for our welfare is inspirational.""</strong>Lance shook his head at Keri as she kicked back as though ready to fall asleep.<strong>""You know, with Braxton as sexually adventurous as he's becoming, I'm not sure I'd want to be unconscious in any common area.""</strong><br/><br/><strong>""Oh, don't even try that.  You asked because it <em>at least</em> intrigued you.  Had I not said that I would never do it you'd probably have me two knuckles deep by now.""</strong>He chuckled as the rant in his head built steam.<strong>""I bet...that the reason you changed was that your dress was soaked right through.  At least we know the real reason you told Braxton to wash his hands before coming to the bridge.""</strong><br/><br/>""Ewww. That's all I can say to the idea of<em>anything</em>the Captain might do intriguing me!""<br/><br/>With a smirk at the rest of his comment however she rolled her head against the back of her chair, looking over at him from half lidded eyes, a few small locks of strawberry blonde hair falling across her face giving an angelic, almost gamine look while her voice dropped a notch and she teased, ""If I actually wanted you two knuckles deep Lance, do you really think you're having just said you wouldn't do so would be a problem?""<br/><br/>Before he could respond she laughed and turned her head to look back out the window once more, ""And just to satisfy your curiosity, my friend, my dress is perfectly clean. The Captain might be a handsome man but he's not the sort to be a temptation to me.""<br/><br/>He watched her contentedly as she relaxed, always thinking her beautiful when on the verge of sleep.  She ruined the moment a touch with her question, staving off a response with an answer to his taunting rant.  He nodded once to acknowledge it before answering sincerely.<strong>""Yes.  I think that you would be extremely considerate of what someone said they wouldn't feel comfortable with.""</strong><br/><br/><strong>""I'll let you get some sleep, Keri.""</strong>He stood up and took a step closer, kissing the top of her head before taking a couple of steps toward the door, stopping shy of it.<br/><br/><strong>""By the way, a handsome man?  You women are too visually stimulated.""</strong><br/><br/>Keri let a soft laugh fill her chest when Lance kissed to the top of her head. It made her feel safe, at home. Just when she'd started considering Lance like an older brother she enjoyed tormenting she wasn't sure, but she did. He was her best friend on board the ship and she treasure him even when she was taunting him.<br/><br/>""You know I wouldn't actually do anything you weren't comfortable with goofy. Though I<em>will</em>tease you mercilessly about it later!"" she promised even as her eyes were starting to drift closed. She should have been uncomfortable, perched between the pilot's chair and her console as she was, but she, apparently, still had a child's ability to sleep anywhere..especially when that anywhere had the best view of the Black on the ship.<br/><br/><em>""By the way, a handsome man?  You women are too visually stimulated.""</em><br/><br/>""Just jealous. You'd be handsome too if anyone could see through that all that hair on your face. Ever hear of a razor...""she mumbled, not even sure if he heard her while she drifted off into sleep. She'd wake instantly if one of the sensor alarms went off or someone else came on deck.<br/><br/>From the Plantation, Lance made his way to Serenity's shuttle and knocked.  Fortunately, she did not have anyone still visiting.  She welcomed him in and they talked for a bit, Lance awkwardly telling her about Sue being confined to his room and Serenity confessing that she was going to try to push Braxton's buttons less, which Lance was grateful for.  From there the conversation was pretty light.  Serenity told him that she had a client lined up as soon as she landed, and that he was welcome to help her pick out her dress for her meeting with him.  They went to her closet, Serenity going through dresses and talking about them while Lance looked at them over her shoulder, his arms wrapped around her waist, pressed very lightly against her.  The reason it was very lightly was that whenever she felt his bulge pressing too firmly against her behind, she'd reach back with a firm, yet gentle hand and push him back.<br/><br/>He spent quite a bit of time with her, until finally it was time for him to return to his room, all but emptying himself as he imagined those moments developing differently."

And this time, he would make her<em>work</em>for it.<br/><br/>Without a hurry, Braxton got out of his shirt and hung it up. It was one of his nicer ones and he didn’t want to get it dirty if he could help it. Mya was already juicing conspicuously: There was a wet spot forming on the sheets between her legs. Braxton reached for his belt buckle, but then his hand shifted to the left. With one fluid motion, he pulled the cattle cane from his belt and let it crash down on his captive, leaving a pair of red stripes across her thigh.<br/><br/><strong>”Filthy whore!”</strong>He chastised her and gave her another one the other side.<strong>”Look what you did to my sheets!”</strong>.<br/><br/>With his free hand, he reached down between her legs and leaned forward, pursing his lips. He didn’t kiss her right away, though. She wasn’t ready for that, yet. He wanted to dig deeper this time, to know a piece of her true self. His hand was busy between her legs, feeling the wetness that was seeping out of her and the tape that struggled to keep it in. It came off in single, deft motion. Her face twisted in the most lovely way and tears shot to her eyes.<em>Then</em>he kissed her.<br/>"

Look what you did to my sheets!”</em>The sudden outburst and the sting of the cattle cane across her ass cheek caused her to scream in pain.  Shivering from the sensory overload she simply looked back at Braxton with sullen needy eyes.  He approached her, leaning into her.  She felt his hand on her crotch, caressing her wet skin.  The touch sent shocks rushing through her body.  It wasn't enough to drive her to orgasm, but she shivered more as goosebumps spread across her skin.  Before she could ride the wave of ecstasy any further, Braxton ripped the tape from her.  The pain was instant but intense.  Mya's scream came just as quickly as her body writhed at the shock and the lingering throbbing of skin.  The mix of pain and pleasure had overloaded her mind, causing her skin to flush and sweat.  As she opened her eyes after letting the pain of the tape wash over her, she was more surprised when Braxton kissed her on the mouth.  The saltiness of his mouth filled hers as she enjoyed the small bit of softness as reward for the small bit of pain.  Her body continued to writhe and tingle at the feel of his hand working her body."

All through dinner she'd felt a growing tension, a sense of anticipation and had barely been able to look at Sue. She couldn't help but to wonder if he'd actually show up to collect on  their challenge, or if he'd simply leave her waiting. From the way he'd kissed her before leaving the Bridge to help with the unloading, she doubted he'd leave her waiting...or at least that he'd leave her waiting long. She could easily see him being a tease and making her wait until she thought she'd be crazy with the wondering.<br/><br/>Drawing a deep breath she pushed away from her door and looked around her bunk. Like all of them it was rather small but it was<em>hers</em>. She had plenty of room to spread out on the Bridge, what was in here was intimate, pieces of her that others rarely saw. A picture of her mother on the dresser. Star charts (gifts from her father) taped to the walls and marked showing where she'd made corrections to, to account for stellar drift, showing that while not formally educated, there was an excellent mind inside her head. Small carvings lined up on a shelf, each growing gradually better, showing her skill when it came to finding natural shapes in the pieces of wood she'd pick up on random planets. If the Bridge was her home, this was her sanctuary.<br/><br/>And she'd agreed to let someone into it.<br/><br/>With another breath she settled onto her bed (the only piece of furniture in the room you could sit on) and crossed her legs, settling into a half lotus and just leaning back against the wall behind her. Being planetside there was none of the small humming through the metal that was so common when in the Black but that didn't stop her from seeking calm from the presence of the ship anyway. Focusing on her breathing, she tried to push down her nerves, and simply be in the moment. In each breath. And she tried<em>not</em>to think of might, or might not, happen when Sue was finished cleaning up after the others finished their meal."

She really had wondered if he'd show. Unloading the cargo, feeding the strikers, he'd had a rough day and she wouldn't have blamed him in the least for deciding to collect later. That didn't stop a smile from curving her lips as she called out for him to come in and stood up, in the center of her room, to meet him. He was far more casual then she was used to seeing him, in his nightclothes, and she had the urge to reach up and sift her fingers through his hair, especially without his hat on, but before she could think of anything to say, or do, he had drawn her in, wrapped her arms around him, and tilted her head up to face him for a kiss.<br/><br/>When the kiss broke a small sound, barely audible, of annoyance filled her throat, but she wasn't about to complain while he was taking his first good look at her bunk. She was pleased, of course, that he found her mother pretty but was impressed when he admired her star charts. Not many found them half as interesting as she did! ""I'd be happy to teach you Sue. It's a bit of a pain in the ass at first but then it all falls into place and you end up marveling at yourself that you ever thought it was such a pain to begin with! Once you have it down, as long as you have charts, you can go anywhere, even if a nav computer breaks down. With my charts and calculations, I'll never be lost in the Black,"" she added in a tone fo voice that was matter of fact and not at all boastful.<br/><br/>Then he joked about making her chop things in the kitchen which earned him a scowl...not that that look would make him do anything more than laugh coming from her! No one ever took her dark looks seriously on someone so petite and sweet looking.<br/><br/>When he finally pressed her back to the bed she let herself smile up at him, instead of scowling, before his lips found hers once more. It was actually a better angle for kissing, from her perspective. Instead of towering over her like he did when they were standing, it allowed them to be face to face and it gave her the chance, finally, to sink her fingers into the thick strands of hair like she'd been wanting to since he walked in. Hair that was soft to the touch and made her all but purr in the sheer pleasure of running her fingers through it. It was one of her few truly girly traits that she appreciated a well kept head of hair and the sensual, tactile, pleasure it could bring.<br/><br/>When she felt his knee pressing between her knees she let them part for him, one lifting slightly to run a bare calf against the thin cotton of his own pants. She was still wearing her shorts and tunic shirt from earlier. After all, he'd said he wanted to explore her tan lines. Looking up at him she cupped his face to bring his gaze back to hers, a gentle smile on her lips as she teased, ""You sure you're up to this tonight old man? Cap'n worked all of y'all pretty hard today; you sure that stamina you boasted of earlier is up to it?"""

He felt up to it indeed, and what could feel felt as if it would stretch and fill her in the most delicious of ways. It made her body shudder in anticipation under him.<br/><br/>Feeling him open the few buttons on the collar she watched his head tip and at the first nip of teeth a low whimpering filled her throat and made her fingers clench into fists in her sheets. When she spoke her voice was thick with the need pulsing under her skin, ""I do think you seem to be just getting started, Sue. And you certainly feel<em>up</em>to the task at hand!"" she said with a low chuckle just before his lips caught hers and silenced her once more.<br/><br/>She reveled in that kiss, savoring it until he drew back to speak once more. She was nearly ready to grab his hair and pull him back down when what he said actually registered. Her brain only fulling working once more when he lifted himself away and she lost that delicious contact! She could have growled up at him but she suspected that would be counterproductive. Instead she tangled her legs with his, sliding her bare calves against the back of his thighs while holding is gaze and murmuring, ""Yes, Sir.""<br/><br/>As she spoke she also lifted her hands, letting her fingertips graze his arms, her touch light and caressing but giving small squeezes at random, her whole body seeming to urge him to come back down to her."

In another context, or coming from someone else, he could have gotten smacked. Here, in her bunk, with him holding her pinned down, it just somehow worked for her though and sent a small frisson of pleasure skittering down her spine. Instead of being offended, she found she liked it, and she hadn't missed the way he had responded to the slightly formal title he wanted her to use, she'd seen the shivers that had run through him, and so his comment drew an agreeable, ""Yes Sir,"" as well.<br/><br/>Then he wanted to see more.<br/><br/>He had to release her for it, and just as she was about to reach for him, she found him leaning back, drawing her legs up and leaving her even less able to touch him than before! It was maddening, wanting him, and not being able to reach him and she couldn't keep the look of frustration off her face while he wriggled her shorts down her thighs. There was a part of her that wanted to use her legs to pull him down on her so that she could feel him against her, or to try and flip him so she could actually reach him, but she didn't do those things. Instead she let her fingers grip the hem of her shirt and watched his face to see what he thought of the fact that there was nothing under those shorts  but smooth, bare, skin.<br/><br/>With the way she saved money, she'd actually splurged a few months back when they'd landed near the Core, for a hair removal treatment that wouldn't require another visit for a year or so. Even then she was told, what grew back should be finer than before and that a third treatment would make removal permanent. She wasn't sure she wanted to go<em>that</em>far, but not having to worry about shaving when out on the Rim was certainly a convenience for now.<br/><br/>When at least he put her legs down she started lifting her short, sliding it a bit slow to let his eyes follow the movement, letting him see the difference in the slightly paler flesh of her stomach and the slightly honeyed tones of her upper chest, what wasn't covered by the violet bra that was a whole 'nother contrast to her soft skin, and arms, all of which was a contrast to the luminous skin that had remained covered by the shorts the whole time she'd been out that day.<br/><br/><em>""Got any more to show me?""</em><br/><br/>""Yes Sir,"" she murmured softly, eyes taking on a slightly glazed look while her body trembled as his fingers slide over the skin across her abdomen and over her hip. From the fine way she trembled it was clear she was fighting off the urge to pull him to her, that she wanted more contact then that teasing touch, but she was trying.<br/><br/>Reaching to the front of her bra she was suddenly glad it had a front clasp. If it had fastened in the back it would have been hard to work the catch with him between her legs. She was opened enough for him that the angle would have simply made it difficult. Instead she was able to open it and shimmy it off until it joined the rest of her clothing on the floor, revealing her body to him, tan lines and all. Part of her felt like she should have blushed, her body so revealed while he still had the clothing he'd walked in with, on, but she didn't...all she wanted was for him to move closer and to feel the heat of his own flesh on hers.<br/><br/>"

her shorts.  Nothing at all.<br/><br/>I tugged her shorts up off her hips and pulled them up her thighs as her ankles lay on my shoulders.  I licked my lips when I saw there weren't no panties on her.  But then my eyes widened like saucers when I done see she didn't have no hair down there neither.<br/><br/><strong>""Mmm, now that there's a sight for sore eyes.  What a pretty little pussy you have down there between your shapely legs, Keri.  All nice and smooth, too.  Ah bet it feels as it good as it looks.""</strong><br/><br/>My hands went from her waistline and hipbones to the tanlines around her thighs.  I watched.  I could already smell her arousal emanating from her private place, her nether lips getting all swollen and full while they glistened with her juices.<br/><br/><strong>""Ah I always wondered if fair skin tasted different from tan skin.  Time Ah did a little testin' of that there theory, Keri, and you're mah subject.  Now be a good girl and hold still while Ah do mah research.  Don't you worry none.  Ah have a reward for you.  A nice big reward that Ah just know you're gonna love with every fiber of your bein'.""</strong><br/><br/>I slid down her bed and kissed the tan skin of her thigh followed by the pale skin of her hip then the less pale, less tan skin below her belly button.<br/><br/><strong>""Hmm, tastes the same there.  Let's try somewhere else, somewhere with plains and hills and instead of a valley on this here landscape of your beautiful body.""</strong><br/><br/>I got on top of her, pressing my chest into her stomach, my excitement for her tenting my pants and just inches from her sex.  I kissed and licked her chest below her neck, then her ribs below, then the undersides of each of her breasts.<br/><br/><strong>""Nope, not there, neither.  Seems that tan skin tastes just like fair skin all over you, Keri.  But Ah did notice a nice scent coming from where Ah started.""</strong><br/><br/>I kissed my way down her belly until I was just above her sex.  I sniffed in deeply.<br/><br/><strong>""Mmm, smells like somethin's a-cooking, and it's makin' mah mouth water.""</strong><br/><br/>I exhaled, hot breath hitting her bare thighs and mound.<br/><br/><strong>""I wonder if ya'll taste as good as you look and smell, Keri.  'Bout time you made me dessert after all the meals I done served you.""</strong><br/><br/>My hands reached under her and cupped her ass.  I lifted up her hips to my mouth and devoured her.  My tongue parted her lips and found the entrance to her tunnel.  I lapped up and down before probing her, the hairs on my face tickling her smooth skin.<br/><br/><strong>""Mmm, tasty.  Fruity and flowery and sweet all at the same time.  This here's a recipe I'm a-gonna have to practice perfectin'.""</strong><br/><br/>I ate her out some more before moving my tongue up to her clit.  I licked around the pink pebble, pulling back the hood to expose it so I could wrap my lips around it and provide it suction into my mouth.<br/><br/>I got more comfortable and slipped a finger inside Keri.  I made it wet with her juices, spread them on her clit, then licked them up as I pushed two fingers into her.  I put some pressure along the bottom of her tunnel, keeping them still while she clenched, then pushing down when her muscles relaxed, letting her feel a sensation like deep penetration as I munched on her clit.<br/><br/>My free hand went up to her breasts, moving from one to the other, cupping and squeezing the mounds while pinching and rubbing their swollen peaks.<br/><br/>I was relentless in my feeding on her.  I wasn't going to stop until I got her off, and we both knew it.<br/><br/><strong>""Don't you come until I tell you.  Ya'll hold back until I give you permission, understand?  You just squirm and writhe and moan and groan and beg and plead and 'sir' for me, understand, sweetie?""</strong><br/><br/>If she thought I was keeping her on edge before, she ain't seen nothing yet.  But I was relentless and skilled, and when I sensed she couldn't endure much more...<br/><br/><strong>""Okay, Keri, you done real good.  Now be a good girl and cum for me, cum on my fingers, cum on my tongue, and cover my face in your juices.  Then the fun will <em>really</em> begin.""</strong><br/><br/>After Keri got off, I got back on my knees between her legs to watch the aftermath of her orgasm.  Sexy little shocks and tremors rocked her body.  I started to pull my shirt off, revealing a chiseled, muscular physique decorated with scars and tattooes.  I put her hands on the drawstring of my pants.<br/><br/><strong>""I ain't done with you, girl.  I'm just gettin' started.  I still got some energy to work off before I need me some rest.  Unless, o' course, you ain't got no more stamina and need some rest your own self.""</strong><br/><br/>My cock, still in my pants, pressed up against Keri's pussy,

He wanted her to hold still?! Just looking up at his face while he continued talking she wasn't sure how the hell she was going to manage that trick, but it was what he wanted so she'd try. She'd warned him it wasn't something she was good at though so if she didn't manage it entirely she just hoped he wouldn't be too disappointed. In order to try and do as he asked she let her hands drop to the sides of her bunks, her knuckles turning almost white as she gripped it fiercely and barely managed to whimper, Yes, Sir.<br/><br/>By the time she had managed to speak his lips were already exploring her flesh. Each kiss, each small lick along the tan lines on her skin making her shiver under him, her body tight and trembling as she tried to simply hold still and resist the urge to writhe and press up toward the hard length she could just feel brushing her at random moments while he leaned the taste of her skin. The man surely knew how to drive her mad and he was barely touching her!<br/><br/>She wanted him, she didn't care that he knew it. So close to her skin there was no way he could have missed the scent of need rising from her...hell she could smell it herself! He was still talking but a lot of what he said was simply lost in the haze of desire clouding her mind. Most of it didn't seem to require anything more than a whimper or a groan to show that she'd heard him, and when his mouth actually closed on her pussy she couldn't manage anything more! The first swipe of his tongue over that tender flesh and she couldn't help it, her hips bucked and a wordless cry filled the room while her fingers clenched even tighter around the frame of her bunk!<br/><br/><em>""Don't you come until I tell you.  Ya'll hold back until I give you permission, understand?  You just squirm and writhe and moan and groan and beg and plead and 'sir' for me, understand, sweetie?""</em><br/><br/>With his mouth on her and his fingers inside of her working her like a damned violin he didn't want her to come?! A strangled sound of frustration filled her throat but at least he'd said she could move again! Still she stared at him in disbelief and hissed, Un..der..stoodSir! Why. Do. You. Hateme. Sir?! she all but wailed the last as her hips rolled, pressing to his mouth, not really thinking about what she was saying, just knowing he was attacking her pussy like a virtuoso and denying her the release she so desperately wanted. She heard a string of words coming out of her mouth but if asked later, she'd have no idea what she said. She recognized ""Sir"" and would suppose later that she'd begged, or simply growled her need, maybe cursed that he wouldn't let her come (though she wouldn't have actually cursed<em>him</em>) while her body writhed and pressed under him, clearly seeking more than he was giving her as he made her dance on that edge!<br/><br/>Then she heard it, he told her to come and his voice seemed to sink deep into her brain. It was like his voice was some sort of a trigger at that moment and his simple words flipped a switch inside of her. Nearly arching off her own bunk a wail filled the room, and perhaps filtered out to the hallway beyond (she didn't care), as her body shook so hard with release that it felt as if she would shake her own flesh apart! While she continued to shiver and small shocks ran through her, she felt him moving away and realized her eyes were closed only because she had to open them to see him rising above her. Watching him, she couldn't stop the satisfied smile that curved her lips while she relished the languor that suffused her flesh.<br/><br/><em>""I ain't done with you, girl.  I'm just gettin' started.  I still got some energy to work off before I need me some rest.  Unless, o' course, you ain't got no more stamina and need some rest your own self.""</em><br/><br/>Done? Gods I hope you ain't done Sir! she practically purred while he put her hands on the drawstring of his pants. She didn't have to be told what to do, she simply loosened the ties and pushed on the waisteband while looking up and holding his gaze with her own, her voice low and still edged with desire. I don't want you to be done, Sir, til you're totally satisfied with your visit and<em>this</em>doesn't seem satisfied yet, Sir, she said, letting her fingertips stroke the length of him that she'd just freed."

Gods I hope you ain't done Sir!""</strong></em><br/><br/>It was fitting that Keri's hands, which I restrained with either my muscles or my words, were now free to play with my manhood which was finally liberated from the confines of my pants.  In no time we was both naked as the day we was born.<br/><br/><em><strong>""I don't want you to be done, Sir, til you're totally satisfied with your visit and this doesn't seem satisfied yet, Sir.""</strong></em><br/><br/><strong>""Well, then, you best be gettin' to work with that pretty mouth of yours, girl.  If I'm satisfied enough, you're in for a special bonus.""</strong><br/><br/>I found a cushion and placed it on the floor.<strong>""Enough lazing around on your back, girl, time to earn your reward.""</strong>I stood in front of the cushion and pointed at it for her to kneel before me.<br/><br/><strong>""Ah, ah, ah.  Keep them hands behind your back, Keri.  Spread those knees and arch that back.  Let me see that place between your legs and push them titties out,... <em>girl</em>.""</strong><br/><br/>I pointed at her bald pussy for emphasis.<br/><br/>I thought about the use of the word on her.  She definitely weren't no girl, just a woman in a petite body.  She could have passed for a teen and her hairless sex along with her perky breasts and flawless alabaster-with-some-olive skin certainly helped that image.  But it was a size thing, too, and an age thing, between the two of us.  I was a giant compared to Keri, and old enough to be her daddy.<br/><br/>I walked around her, my fingers stroking the blond hair on her head and the smooth skin on her shoulders and arms.<br/><br/>As I walked around her my finger traced her jawline until I held her chin to look at me from kneeling.  I runned my thumb across her mouth, one corner to the other.<br/><br/><strong>""Lick them lips and close them eyes, Keri.""</strong><br/>"

After all, it was<em>his</em>fault she'd been lazing around on her back! She hadn't pinned herself to the bed, or told herself to remain still, that had been his hand work all the way around. Now he sounded almost gruff and she found it adorable. Looking up at him, she let him see the mirth sparkling in her eyes and hear it in her voice when she said, Yes Sir, before letting her body slide from her bed. Since he just wanted her on her knees, she didn't bother with actually standing, that seemed like far more work than it was worth when she could simply let her body flow to the cushion he was standing in front of instead.<br/><br/>Still looking up at him, she was about to reach for him when his words caught her up short,<em>""Ah, ah, ah.  Keep them hands behind your back, Keri.  Spread those knees and arch that back.  Let me see that place between your legs and push them titties out,... girl.""</em><br/><br/>This time when she looked up at him, there was a trace of confusion in her gaze. Before he had sounded gruff but teasing, now she wasn't sure what to make of his tone and words. She didn't really think about it as she did as she was told, crossing her arms behind her back, kneeling up taller, knees sliding apart and her upper back arching slightly to thrust her breasts forward, but she was quite as certain of him as she had been before. He'd almost sounded like he was reprimanding her and she wasn't sure what for. She wondered if she should ask, but she let her question lie there in her gaze and waited to see what would come next.<br/><br/>Just because this was a side of Sue she wasn't used to seeing didn't necessarily mean anything was actually wrong. She wanted the chance to learn to read him better before she decided to panic or stop his actions with questions.<br/><br/>With him all but stalking around her, she couldn't stop the shudder that raced down her spine and through the rest of her flesh. He was always larger than her, but naked and on her need he seemed to tower over her like a giant! He'd never made her feel small before, but just then she felt the difference in their sizes. When she was on the Bridge, no one's size mattered because she was in complete control. No one argued with her and anyone coming into<em>her</em>domain, followed her lead. Elsewhere she'd never felt this difference either, they'd always been equals, flirting, bantering, teasing each other, with neither having clear dominion over the other.<br/><br/>Now it was clear that Sue was in charge and she, somehow, doubted he would brook any more insolence in that moment, than she would have during one of his lessons on flight lessons.<br/><br/>As his fingers slid through the soft strands of her short hand she felt her entire body quiver as the realization dawned fully that she had given him control. Complete control. And not just for winning some bet. She was certain that if she checked a clock, they'd be past his half hour, or nearly so, but she wasn't about to call him on the time! She didn't want him to stop...but she was certainly going to have to ask him questions later so she could understand better.<br/><br/>His thumb on her lips snapped her from her thoughts, focusing her attention once more on him entirely and as he lifted her chin to tip her gaze to his she felt a subtle blush coloring her cheeks. They weren't flaming, but it would be obvious if he was paying attention.<br/><br/><em>""Lick them lips and close them eyes, Keri.""</em><br/><br/>Yes, Sir, she murmured, acknowledging the command. The sound of those two simple words sounding far more natural since she'd realized she was letting him take the reins of control fully from her for the time being. She acted in compliance as well, let her tongue slide out to moisten her lips and showing her trust by letting her eyes fall closed, leaving unknowing of what he might be planning next."

Something told her that smarting off wasn't a reaction that would go over well at the moment. Though she had to admit that the idea of being a bit of a brat, another night, was tempting all on it's own. With her eyes closed she found herself aware of where he was in a very surreal sort of way. Instead of tracking him with her eyes, it was as if her very skin could sense where he was in circling her. It made her tremble where she knelt, to be so aware of him. Each time his fingers brushed her flesh it drew a small whimpering from her lips and she found herself wanting to cheat just a little, wanting to see the look on his face, to know what he was thinking.<br/><br/>At least until he pressed against her. Feeling the warmth of his own skin against hers drew a sharp gasp from Keri and she, unconsciously, leaned back slightly to press her own, heated, skin against his. With the center of his own body pressing against her back she let her hands shift just enough to stroke the length of his that was so very close...though nowhere near where she wanted it!<br/><br/>She couldn't help it, she blinked when she felt the blindfold wrapping around her head. It made her shudder and her caressing of his length pause as she adjusted to the inability to see. Having her eyes closed had been one thing, she could have opened them and sight would be restored, now, even with them open, her sight was gone. It made her whimper softly and try to press her shuddering body back even more tightly to his, as of somehow seeking him for protection...despite the fact that it was<em>he</em>who'd blinded her.<br/><br/><em>And when you done saw what I could do with her, you thought about what I can do with you.""</em><br/><br/>His voice, so close to hear ear, made her tilt her head slightly to hear it better. Without realizing it, she'd also bared the smooth line of her throat to him. Offering up the most vulnerable line of flesh to the predator holding her in his grasp. She might have said something but before she could get words to form on her lips his hands were moving on her body, one on her breast, making the nipple peak and harden for him, the other sliding down between her thighs. She couldn't help it, her hips bucked at that teasing touch and a groan filled her throat when it was taken away. She wanted more,<em>needed</em>more and he was taunting her in the most maddening way!<br/><br/><em>""Mmm, tasty.  You should try some.  Here, let me get some for you.""</em><br/><br/>She'd heard him cleaning the taste of her own juices from his fingers but his words actually made her body still for a moment. She wanted him to touch her again, bit what he said meant that it would be fleeting, would only leave her aching and unsatisfied. It left her torn between wanting him to touch her anyway, and wanting to growl at him in frustration.<br/><br/>But he didn't touch her, not the way she expected. She felt herself being pushed over and had a fleeting moment of hope that he would give her what she was craving, what her body desperately needed. Hope that crashed and burned and whose burning made her groan a sound crossed oddly between desire and despair. The feel of his cock right<em>there!</em>so close only to be taken away left her aching in a way she couldn't remember having ever ached before. She didn't think anyone had ever taunted her to this level before and she wasn't certain if she adored him, or hated him, for it!<br/><br/>Then he was gone. Well not gone, she could still sense him moving around her, but he was no longer pressed against her and she felt oddly bereft. She barely recognized the voice that whimpered softly, ""Sir?""<br/><br/><em>""Open your mouth wide.  Stick your tongue out.  And say 'ahh,' girl.""</em><br/><br/>Feeling his fingers stroking her hair, her head tipped slightly toward his touch and she nearly purred like a cat, but, instead, she did as she was told. With him in front of her now, it wasn't hard to guess at what he'd be wanting and while it wasn't precisely where she wanted to feel the length of him most, it would do...for now. Parting her lips she let the tip of her tongue slide out along them, moistening them to take him in and even said, ""ahhh"" as she'd been told. Any other time and that last would probably have made her giggle like a school-girl, but just then she wanted him badly enough that she seemed to have lost the ability to think of anything but getting him inside of her in some fashion."

Some women would have been annoyed but Keri knew that every man was different, having him give her instructions this first time, took the guesswork out of working the turgid flesh in her mouth. He told her what he liked, and how he liked it, and she did it. It actually let her relax all the more and just enjoy the feel and flavor of him without feeling any pressure to guess at how to please him.<br/><br/>Those first strokes that let her taste the both of them on her tongue made her shiver, and her hands clenched, leaving imprints of her nails on her own arms. She wanted to touch something, him, herself,<em>something</em>! She didn't even have the bed to grip anymore and it made her whimper in the back of her throat until he started giving her more directions to follow. Once she was able to concentrate on working his cock in and out of her mouth her nails lightened slightly on her arms, but a close look would reveal that one or two had actually managed to just break the skin, leaving just the slightest curve of blood marring the slightly golden flesh.<br/><br/>She didn't know, or care. All that mattered was drawing him into her mouth...and the sweetness of his words when he finally told her she could move her hands!<br/><br/>She was happy to let her hands roam her own body. Her palms cupped her breasts, lifting them, as if to let him see them better, while her fingers pinched, twisted, and pulled sharply at the nipples. With as much desire as was coursing through her skin, the slight pain from her own touch only added to the sensations, making her want more. Taken cold and un-aroused it would have simply hurt, now it made her groan and shiver before him, her body shifting slightly but unable to move much with his cock actually anchoring her to her knees before him.<br/><br/>Sliding one hand down her belly she let a couple of fingers slide between the slick folds of her pussy and nearly bucked away from him at the rush that coursed through her body when they danced over her clit! She almost came again right then but managed to hold off only by stopping her fingers for a moment. When she had more control she teased herself again...then paused...again...then paused, holding herself on the edge because she wasn't sure if she was supposed to come for him again or not and with his cock in her mouth she couldn't ask!<br/><br/><em>""That's mah girl.  Work that cockhead with your mouth, stroke mah shaft with one hand, and tug on mah balls with the other, baby doll.  After Ah can't take no more, Ah'm a-goin' give you all of me up inside ya'll.""</em><br/><br/>Her purring vibrated along his cockhead as she reached up to do what she was told. One hand finding the shaft and working it in opposition to the bobbing of her mouth, the other cupping his balls, stroking, tugging, pulsing her palm around them as instructed. She wished that she could see his face while she did this, that she could see what he liked best, but she went by what she was hearing instead. She listened for slight catches in his breathing, low moans from his throat, to let her know she was doing something he particularly liked and a part of her mind filed those noises away for the next time they were together.<br/><br/>When he, at last, pulled free from her mouth she whimpered once more, the sound anticipatory and frustrated at the same time. He seemed forever trying to keep her on edge!<br/><br/>This time he didn't explain, he simply moved her as he wanted and she quivered in anticipation as she realized he was moving her slight frame to straddle him! With her knees on either side of his hips she was, again, struck by the difference in their sizes. She felt like a child as just straddling him opened her wide for him, there would be no closing herself off from his sight and yet she couldn't see him at all. The brushing of his cock against her sensitive opening made her tremble and clutch at him and his words made her gasp softly.<br/><br/>She wanted him!<br/><br/><em>""Okay, mah good girl, time for what you really want and need.  Ah'll let you work me inside of you at your own pace, but once all of me is in you, I'm takin' over and giving it to you the way I want to feel you.""</em><br/><br/>""Yes Sir,"" she murmured her understanding but there was a slight edge to her voice as she said it. If he could have seen her eyes he might have realized what she intended but there would be no other clue. He was lined up perfectly at her entrance and she gripped his fingers tightly with her own. He had taunted and teased her to a frenzy and now she simply wanted him to take her, to use her, and he's promised to take over once she lodged him inside of her body.<br/><br/>So she did just that.<br/><br/>With a small grunt of determination she simply leaned back, using his own grip to push against and her body weight to carry her she shoved herself onto him. He was large and stretched her but she'd come once already and was soaked from her own teasing of herself while she'd been suckling his cock. It took a few pushes but she didn't go easy on herself. She forced his length into her with low cries, as fast and hard as she could until she felt herself settling on him, the length of him bottoming out and hitting the deepest parts of her petite body. Settled firmly on him she purred her pleasure, clenched those inner walls and rolled her hips against him in blatant invitation.<br/><br/>When she spoke, her voice was whiskey warm and filled with need, ""Your turn to drive, Sir."""

He was silent, but his body tensed under her like he'd been stung. It put a small smirk on her lips and was only incentive for her to simply continue to let go, to chase what she wanted from him with single minded determination. She wanted all of him inside of her and she was damned well going to get it! His hands on her hips, helping to pull her down his length, let her know he understood just what she wanted and that the time for teasing was over, something she was glad for. She wanted him to fuck her hard and deep, until she was little more than a shivering mass clinging to him in the Black.<br/><br/><em>""Letting me take the controls, eh, girl?  Givin' me the green light to dock?  Just make sure to wait for permission to come aboard.""</em><br/><br/>Oddly enough that was language that actually still managed to get through the fog of lust clouding her brain and she managed to nod her head, her voice soft and low as she answered, ""Yessss Sir."" After agreeing she simply let go of the ship analogy, it was too hard to concentrate enough to maintain it beyond superficial use, ""Fuck me Sir, hard and deep, make me feel every inch of that cock please!"" she managed to gasp before he stroked inside her, ripping her ability to speak away once more.<br/><br/>Feeling him moving inside her, she realized it was nearly impossible for him to do anything but go deep, the length of him felt enormous without her ability to see. She almost wished they had a camera set up so that she could have watched the vid later and seen just what that cock of his looked like splitting her petite little body in two. Instead she just relished it. Taking every inch she could get and whimpering when he'd hit the end of her. As he began to push harder, more vigorously, her body began to twitch and shudder above him, while her pussy clamped around him.<br/><br/>With her hands on his shoulders she used him for leverage to help him fuck her. Pushing against him, forcing her body down his length, never satisfied, always trying to get more, to pull him deeper into her eager little body. She was riding a fine line, so damned close to release but holding off, her flesh quivering with tension, nearly ready to explode!<br/><br/>And then he did it. He snapped her head back with a sharp grip in her hair, something that would have made her groan in pleasure all on it's own, and sank his teeth into the tender flesh at the base of her throat! Behind her her blindfold she saw stars. A fresh scream filled the small cabin and her fingers on his shoulders curled, nails digging sharply into his flesh while her entire body jerked and shuddered, actually trying to press<em>closer</em>to those biting teeth!<br/><br/>As if from a distance she was aware of his hand smacking her ass, but what really held her attention was when his nails sank into flesh as well making her give fresh cries up to him and buck all the harder on his cock.<br/><br/>She was so close to the tipping point that, permission or not, one or two more thrust would send her flying!<br/><br/><em>""Okay, girl, no holding back.  Go on and cum on mah cock while Ah fuck your hot little pussy.  You're so tight and wet, Ah can feel your tunnel milking me.  You ain't getting mah cum inside you, ain't draining mah balls just yet, not unless I feel and hear and see you get off on me, and even then, that might not be enough.  I might have to fuck you some more before explode and fill you with mah hot, sticky seed.""</em><br/><br/>She heard him, sort of, but she was more concerned with<em>feeling</em>him. There was nothing to hold back in her. She was wild in his arms, bouncing on his cock like it was the most important thing in her world and not carrying if her whimpers and cries were carrying out into the hall. Two more solid thrusts and she gave him what he demanded, her body felt as if it was exploding around him, only anchored to the world by the cock deep inside her body! She heard sounded passing her lips, low growls, demands for more, cries of intense pleasure and she'd never be able to articulate any of it later. In the dark of her blindfold, the world spun, her body quaked, came apart and reformed all around Sue's cock until she gasped and went limp against his chest.<br/><br/>It took her just a moment to catch her breath and while she was shivering and limp against his flesh she tipped her head so that she would have been facing him if she could have seen him. Small kisses rained against his chest and neck while a low purring filled her throat. When she could speak again she used her hands on his chest to push up, a gamine smile on her lips as she grinned down at him and rolled her hips in a slow circle against him, her voice sweet as she begged, ""More please, Sir?"

style=""font-size: 18pt;"">Sue, the Cook</span></span><br/><strong>Location:</strong>In Keri's bunk<br/><strong>With:</strong>Keri<br/><br/>After Keri came on my cock, I just let her catch her breath and lay on top of me.  I held her close, kissing and caressing her skin softly, especially the parts I used my nails or my teeth on.<br/><br/><strong>""Even though I got ya'll in the black with that blindfold on, I have a feeling you done seen stars that ain't on no chart.""</strong><br/><br/>I was still hard and still deep inside her.  Occasionally I let my cock swell up within her, reminding her it was there with a bit of extra pressure against the walls of her tunnel.<br/><br/><em><strong>""More please, Sir?""</strong></em><br/><br/><strong>""Well, it looks like we got no short of arousal up in these here parts, mah good little girl.  Seems that you and me here is a recipe for imminent repetitive orgasm.""</strong><br/><br/>Keeping her on top of me, I moved my body over to the side of her bed, toward the wall, then I rolled us onto our sides before rolling some more so I could get on top of her.<br/><br/>I dug my elbows into the mattress by her sides and spread my knees wide.<br/><br/><strong>""Before, it was you that used all your body weight to get me inside you.  Now <em>Ah'm</em> gonna use all <em>mah</em> body weight to do the same to you.  Ah reckon Ah'll get in deeper and harder.  If I clean your housing too hard, make sure to give me a holler.  Now keep them eyes closed while Ah take off this here blindfold.""</strong><br/><br/>I reached under her head and undid the knot of the scarf, then pulled it off her face.<br/><br/><strong>""Now lift them eyelids and show me them pretties.""</strong><br/><br/>I waited for her to open her eyes and look up at me.  That's when I started a slow, rhythmic pounding of my cock into her pussy.  I started off and built up like when she was on top of me - short, deep strokes at first, followed by longer, harder thrusts.  Except this time, I stopped my motion when she looked away or closed her eyes, then started up again when she looked back at me.<br/><br/>I could tell her brain wasn't functioning as good as usual, but I enjoyed watching her slowly figure out the unspoken rules to my little game.<br/><br/>I felt and heard my big heavy ball sack slapping against her ass wetly.  Her insides was slick and I easily slid in and out of the tight grip of her tunnel.  When I felt her getting close, I added a new element.<br/><br/>I wrapped the scarf that was her blindfold around her neck twice, then pulled each end, cutting off her heavy breathing for a moment while I fucked her.  The first time was just for a moment.  I then let her take a couple of deep breaths, but I tightened the scarf again, this time for longer.<br/><br/>Cutting off her air supply seemed to be working well for keeping her on the edge of another orgasm, so I kept doing it over and over again.  But I wanted to get deeper in her pussy.<br/><br/>After rutting her while choking her for a full minute, I let her gasp and recover while I lifted up her legs and put them over my shoulders.  Now my weight was on my hands and feet instead of my elbows and knees so I could enter her harder.  And the new angle let me go in deeper.  It was almost like her insides was moving around to accomodate every fraction of an inch of my arousal for her.<br/><br/>I slammed my cock up her pussy hard, fast and deep, without remorse or mercy, and I done told her while I kept pounding away.<br/><br/><strong>""Ah wanna break you in half with my cock, Keri.  Ah wanna split you in two, starting at your slit.  Go on, girl, come on this cock.  Come on my cock if you want to be mah very own personal cock slut.""</strong><br/><br/>And that's how I fucked Keri and made her come yet again.<br/><br/><strong>""Look at you, coming yet again.  That's mah girl.  All insatiable like.""</strong><br/><br/>I cooed at her, stroking her hair, touching her face gently.<br/><br/><strong>""Don't you come back to atmo just yet.  Ah ain't done with you.  This time, <em>Ah'm</em> gettin' <em>mine.</em>  Time to fire it up, and get this bird in the air.""</strong><br/><br/>I lifted myself up and tossed her legs to the side.  I grabbed a pillow and put it on the bed in front of my knees.  I picked her up and positioned her so she was head down and ass up over the pillow.  I pried her knees apart and spread her ass cheeks.  I teased her slit, rubbing my cockhead up and down it, then found her entrance.  Once my cockhead was just inside her tunnel, I grabbed her hips and pulled her back as I pushed forward.  One hand went up her spine to grab her hair and pull it toward me, making her arch her back so I could get deeper.<br/><br/>My other hand alternated squeezing each of her asscheeks, then alternated spanking each of them.<br/><br/><strong>""I know you want mah cum, my sweet little slut.  Go on, show me how bad you want me to blow my load inside you.  Earn my jizz while I beat your ass.""</strong><br/><br/>And beat her ass I did.  After I showed her the rhythm I wanted her to back up into me with, I gave her a few strokes before smacking one side of her ass.  After a few more thrusts I matched the sensation with another slap on the other side of her ass.  I liked that, pulling her hair, making her ass pink with my handprints, forcing her to fuck me the way I liked.<br/><br/>I tugged her hair back more, lifting her torso off the bed until she was looking up at the ceiling so she could see me looking down at her from behind, my face appearing upside down.<br/><br/><strong>""Yer gonna get it now.  Yer gonna... make me...  oh fuck...  unghh!""</strong><br/><br/>I let go of her and laid down on top of her.  My arms pinned her arms down.  My legs trapped her legs under me.  All my weight was crushing her as I penetrated her over and over.  My body tensed up as I made her take all of me, and burst after burst of hot cum blasted out of my cock and up against the entrance to her womb.<br/><br/>I felt her coming under me, too, milking my cock of every last drop of semen from my balls, and pulling it up inside her petite little body.<br/><br/>After being tensed up for so long, I collapsed on top of her limply.<br/><br/>My chest was heaving against her back, my breath hot on her neck, our inhales and exhales perfectly synchronized, timed perfectly just like her last orgasm matching with my only, albeit most intense, release.<br/><br/>I rolled off her onto our sides so we was spooning.  My arms went around her chest, holding her tight, as I whispered into her ear.<strong>""Mmm, yeah, Keri, that's mah girl.  That's my good little girl.  Ya'll know just what Ah like and need.""</strong>My hand stroked her side before squeezing her butt and giving it one more spank.<br/><br/><strong>""Okay... time to... go to blackout.  Let's just go dead in the water a bit.""</strong><br/><br/>I closed my eyes and nestled in her hair, then opened them and looked around.  It felt like we was being watched.<br/><br/><strong>""Ya'll get the feelin' we're bein' buzzed?""</strong><br/>"

He certainly seemed correct on her end of things anyway. She'd had more than one orgasm already and had no doubt that she would have at least one more before he was through with her. He however hadn't had any and she found that unacceptable. She might have said so even but he started to roll them and all she could do was groan for him as it made his cock move and shift inside her aching body.<br/><br/>Gods but what this man could do to her!<br/><br/><em>""Now lift them eyelids and show me them pretties.""</em><br/><br/>Opening her eyes she blinked and smiled slightly up at him. It was good to see his face above her after so long in the blackness of the blindfold. Feeling him start to move inside of her once more she gasped softly before arching to him, meeting him and taking every inch of him that he gave to her with each thrusts of her hips. It didn't take her long to realize that each time her eyes drifted closed he paused until she opened them again. Once she figured out his game she kept her eyes open and reached up, gently stroking the planes of his face, an amused smile curving her lips.<br/><br/>""You do like your games, don't you Sir?"" she managed to ask, though it was on gasped breathes as he started a deeper, harder rhythm. After that, talking simply became impossible.<br/><br/>Impossible because she was so caught up in the feel of his driving into her, and because he wrapped a scarf around her throat, using it to cut off her air on his whims. The first time he did it, her eyes flashed wide and a part of her brain shuddered in terror while another simply purred in pleasure. Terror should have won, might have if it had been anyone she knew even a little less well than Sue, or if she had been any less aroused. In her desperate state of need and desire, however, it simply added to the sensations coursing through her flesh. her fingers fell from his face to grip his shoulders, nails digging into him as she clung to him each time the scarf tightened and left her gasping and reinforcing just how much control she'd given to the man in her bed!<br/><br/>When he shifted again, putting her legs over his shoulders her grip fell to the bed frame, gripping it, knowing she'd need something to cling to as his next words rang through her mind,<em>""Ah wanna break you in half with my cock, Keri.  Ah wanna split you in two, starting at your slit.  Go on, girl, come on this cock.  Come on my cock if you want to be mah very own personal cock slut.""</em><br/><br/>Some of it didn't really register, what clicked in her brain though was his telling her to come. It was like a switch being thrown and her body shuddered under him, her pussy clenching and gripping as she let another orgasm tear through her flesh, drawing moans from her throat while her entire body tried to buck against him.<br/><br/>Before she could fully catch her breath he was moving her, rolling her to her stomach and lifting her ass  up to give himself access to her body. For a trembling minute she wondered if he would push the hard length of himself into the tight ring of her ass and groaned in pleasure and relief when he dove back into her quivering pussy instead. Part of her realized she wouldn't have denied him that other entryway, but she wasn't sure she was ready for it either. He already felt like he was breaking her in half, making her body shift and re-arrange itself to take him all, that might have just been too much that night.<br/><br/><em>""I know you want mah cum, my sweet little slut.  Go on, show me how bad you want me to blow my load inside you.  Earn my jizz while I beat your ass.""</em><br/><br/>She almost asked what he meant but then she knew, his hand came down on the sweet curve of her ass, making her cry out softly in surprise at the flare of pain across her tender flesh. Rolling her hips she pressed back to him, over and over again, impaling herself on his cock like an eager little whore. Every blow to her ass drew a soft cry and made her flesh tremble all the more and ber body became tight as a bowstring when her gripped her hair and arched her back. It limited her movements but she did what she could, her flesh trembling, eager, clenching and pulsing around him. When he finally came at last, it triggered another orgasm in her own body,making her come for him again, crying her pleasure out to the room around them and leaving her, finally, limp and utterly pliant under him.<br/><br/>She didn't mind him rolling them to their sides, but she did whimper when he drew himself free of her body to do it. It left her aching and feeling empty and though she wasn't really for another go 'round, she wanted him back inside of her...and was far to wrung out to say so. She filed it into the back of her mind to tell him later.<br/><br/><em> ""Mmm, yeah, Keri, that's mah girl.  That's my good little girl.  Ya'll know just what Ah like and need.""</em><br/><br/>She yelped slightly when he smacked her already red ass once more and then chuckled and just snuggled back closer against him, her voice a low murmur and slightly raspy from the screaming she'd done for him, ""I'd say that's an entirely mutual assessment, Sir.""<br/><br/>Curled against him she heard him mentioning blacking out and thought it was an excellent idea. One of her arms slid along his, threading the fingers of one hand with his own, while the other reached up and touched the scarf still wrapped around her neck. It was loose now, in no danger of cutting off her air, but she fingered it almost tenderly and made no move to take it off, leaving that small mark of what he'd done to her around her throat as a reminder.<br/><br/>She was almost asleep when he asked if she felt like they were being watched. Until he said it she hadn't, but once the idea was in her mind she found it taking root and suddenly she did feel like there were eyes on them...but she wasn't sure that it was real, or just an idea there because he's asked.<br/><br/>Mmmm, let them watch. Hope they enjoyed the show, she muttered at last and just reached down to drag a blanket over them. Anything else required far too much effort just then. If someone was watching, they could see her fall to sleep."

Not holding back, using every bit of power from his hips, almost as if he was driving her deeper in the bed. While fucking her pussy, he pulled out his thumb and replaced it with his index finger, moistened with her own fluids. His index finger was driven deeper inside of her ass. Once inside, he pushed down on it as to make her feel his dick and finger pressing against each other, barely separated."

Slowly, but firmly, he pushed himself into her ass. When he had the tip in, he continued to push very gingerly, pushing deeper inside of her. He didn't pull back out, he didn't thrust in and out of her. He just moved deeper, and deeper. Going very slowly, trying not to hurt the little girl too much with his dick. It wasn't until he was completely inside of her that he started moved back and forwards, fucking the little girls' even tighter ass. He knew, ofcourse, that this would probably hurt the little girl because of his size. One way he knew to help that was what he did, he rubbed his thumb against the drooling walls of her labia to moisten it and used it to stimulate her clitoris by rubbing it, over it, and making circles on it."

When resting overnight, you recover (1+Con modifier)hp per level or 1hp per level, whichever is larger, if you have been damaged, up to your full hp. (Normally, the DnD 3.5 rules say that you get 1hp per night, or 2 for a full day's bed rest, but that penalizes those with high Constitution scores since they have more hitpoints to heal to get to their maximum. Those with higher Constitution scores should be faster healers, not slower healers. I think this makes things more fair.)<br/><br/>2. Short swords deal slashing damage or piercing, whichever is necessary to overcome the opponent's damage reduction. This is because the sword is light and easily maneuverable and able to be stabbed outward for piercing damage like a rapier or swung like a longsword for slashing damage.<br/><br/>3. Characters that would like to turn undead may choose the effect they want to use, whether it is to repel them or to damage them, and may use either the rules from the Player's Handbook or Complete Divine, respectively, depending on which effect they would like to have.<br/><br/>4.<div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">""Turning Damage for Sun Domain Cleric: Variant""</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Concerning the Sun domain and variant turning rules, the short answer is yes. We wouldn't really have to use the variant rules in that case, but if you did use the variant rules, yes, a failed save means instant death and a passed save means ""save for half damage"". They'll either get half of the damage they would have gotten or an instant death. That's the bonus of taking the Sun domain, and that's the privilege of a Lathandrite priest. Good choice!<br/><br/>Concerning the synergy bonus with Knowledge(religion), the bonus would still apply to the save, but not the damage roll.<br/><br/>Concerning the bonus from consecrated/desecrated ground, I'll say that the bonuses apply to the save and the damage, so that the damage will be 1d6/cleric level + 3 per successful turning. And if the ground happens to be consecrated to Lathander, it's 1d6/cleric level + 6 for Anduin. (It gives a bonus, but not a game-breaking bonus, since although the area is slightly infused with positive energy, the majority of it would come from Anduin/Lathander, so he's really providing most of the positive energy and redirecting the positive energy there. If there were more present, it would injure undead just by walking in the consecrated area, rather than just weakening them. Ergo, the damage bonus should be significantly less than the damage from the turning, but still nonzero.) </div></div>"

Her long dark hair is usually worn up, and her skin is pale. She is sometimes mistaken for a half-elf due to her partial human ancestry. Since making her way north she has favored heavy outfits suitable to the cold climate.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong><br/><br/>Lissa Moonstrike is the daughter of the half-elven Valindia Moonstrike and a moon elf she has never met. The name her father went by was Thyandrior. However, the man was con artist and drifter who was probably using an alias. Over a century ago Thyandrior took advantage of a wealthy young woman then named Valindia Amalith. After a whirlwind romance he suddenly disappeared, taking with him the half-elf’s innocence and the fortune of her family. He did of course leave one thing behind—the child growing in Valindia’s womb.<br/><br/>Valindia’s family blamed her for the theft and disowned her. She ended up in a hidden Shining Hand monastery outside her home city of Keczulla in Amn. Though she had initially intended to earn her keep as a servant, the half-elf proved to have an extraordinary talent for martial arts. Over the decades she rose to become the head instructor and took the name Moonstrike.<br/><br/>Lissa grew up very slowly and in a sheltered environment—the Shining Hand order was outlawed in Amn and so she left the monastery infrequently. She was a quiet but clever girl who also showed promise as a monk. Living among humans for eleven decades proved emotionally difficult—children who were effectively her age quickly outgrew her, and some of her earliest friends have since died of old age. Gradually she came to hold everyone except her mother at a distance.<br/><br/>The young elf fully embraced the discipline and calm of the martial arts, coping with isolation by focusing more and more on her prowess. She also enjoyed reading and developed an interest in philosophy. Lissa also came to realize that she had the ability to control Spellfire, and unfortunately word of this ability spread beyond her home.<br/><br/>Five years ago, Lissa had her first taste of combat when a mysterious cult attacked the monastery intent on kidnapping her. Apparently, her Spellfire ability and physical description matched a prophecy they believed in. This incident was the first time she was forced to take a life—she found the experience troubling but learned to deal with it.<br/><br/>In the aftermath of the attack, Valindia—now elderly but still possessing extraordinary and unnatural skill—left the monastery for two years. During this time she traveled far and wide, hunting down the remaining cultists like dogs. She came home fairly certain the cult had been wiped out, though it was impossible to be sure.<br/><br/>Nine months ago, Valindia sent her daughter out into the world. The half-elf remained prideful even amidst her declining health, and did not want Lissa to see her become too weak to fight. After a tearful goodbye, the elf began her travels.

However, the first concrete memories she really has are when she was six years old-- the fire. She had no friends, but she had only ever known the orphanage, and seeing it burn was traumatic. She does not know how many, if any, died that night: only that she ran into the night and took refuge in a cellar, wandering the streets for a week before returning to find the building an ashen ruin. She felt wholly empty looking at it, her lack of emotion something of a mystery to herself still.<br/><br/>The next several years of her life were formulated through rough living in the poor places of Waterdeep. A prosperous mercantile city it required a lower class to function, and if they lived better than anywhere else Laewynn could not say: she had only ever known Waterdeep and its streets. Quickly she began to steal and beg, and would have met a yet worse fate had she not the great luck to try and steal from Heliford.<br/><br/>   Heliford, himself a human, was a man about town of ill repute amongst the more respectable members of the community; he was known for grafting and trickery, and when the young fiery Laewynn attempted to swipe a loaf of bread from where he held it aloft he caught her wrist and laughed. She kicked him in the shin as she struggled to escape, and giving her a closer considering look asked her why she wasn’t asking nicely. By way of response, the seven year old spat at him. Amused, Heliford believed he might have found himself something even more laughable: a Rogue’s Apprentice. After he managed to convince Laewynn he would give her a home and teach her how to steal anything she wanted, she reluctantly returned to his abode with her.<br/><br/>   The next five years were the closest thing to a formative experience the still rather immature half-elf girl ever had. While he did teach her to steal in the traditional sense, pickpocketing and lockpicking a core curriculum of sorts, he taught her that there theft-- the art of self-fulfillment, as Heliford melodramatically described it-- had many forms. Why take with her hands what she could be handed with her words? Why rob a potential friend when there were so many potential people to rob, and so few potential friends-- true or otherwise? At the age of fourteen, the willful Laewynn had become subtle. Trained in the way of the rogue, the sixteen year old struck out on her own in the world. Mentally and physically, due to her bastard parentage, she was dissimilar to most of those her age. Having developed a sort of wanderlust, she wandered outside Waterdeep for a time: never making it as far north as Neverwinter or south as Baldur’s Gate, she mostly traveled the towns along the coast searching for something she could not describe.<br/><br/>   Dissatisfied, at the age of eighteen she was ready to return to Waterdeep when she met a charismatic young half-elf named Jalein. Jalein was a boy with high ideals, slightly older than herself but understanding, and he asked her to travel with him and his companions. Quickly accepting, swept off her feet by this handsome young man-- the only other person she’d felt close to was Heliford, and he was a far older man and human-- she soon realized she’d signed aboard for banditry. Jalein believed in scorning all gods and taking what was to be had, but the way he said it he made it seem like everyone’s birthright. He was not unkind, and in front of Laewynn always appeared merciful. They held up small caravans, something previously unthinkable to Laewynn, but there was never any killing.<br/><br/>   That changed in Skullport.<br/><br/>   Laewynn’s desire to return to Waterdeep, growing homesick for the first time in her life, was known to Jalein for a time. Finally, he found a job that would take them there-- someone needed something done by a rough group of fellows in the literal underbelly of Waterdeep, over a mile beneath its surface. Heliford always warned Laewynn against Skullport, saying it was a den of evil and death, but Jalein of course painted the portrait of their journey as liberators with abolitionist rhetoric; besides, she hadn’t seen Heliford for over two years.<br/><br/>   The Skullport job went south, fast. It was a trap, their employer likely not wanting to waste their own people for exactly that reason. Everyone but Jalein and Laewynn dead, Jalein took to desperate measures-- grabbing the slave girl they’d been sent to ransom, he held a blade to her neck. Laewynn was sure it was just a delaying tactic, but the fighting stopped. The enemy demanded she be let go, Jalein said they’d let Laewynn go first. They said it wasn’t an option and blood was drawn.<br/><br/>   The air increasingly tense, their lines opened and Laeywnn sprinted without second thought. They had been in a bulwark of wooden ramparts and beams that held up a corner of Skullport from the rock bearing down on it. When she looked over her shoulder, she could see Jalein’s eyes dance from the ever shrinking ring of foes to her. <br/><br/>   Seeing she was safe, he slit the girl’s throat and disappeared in a torrent of bodies and steel.<br/><br/>   Running down the rampart she saw another group-- likely the real agents of their unknown employer-- scaling it from another side. “Get the girl and kill their leader,” they said, “before the decoys get her killed.” They had been bait. Jalein had murdered an innocent young girl. If he wasn’t dead already, he was about to be-- and who was next but her? All of these thoughts dictated her next action. <br/><br/>Finding a barrel of oil near the base of the scaffold, she broke the nearest torch free of its moorings and gave light. She did not stop there, running about the base lighting anything she could catch. Soon, Skullport had its own blazing sun looking down on its sin and iniquity, and a disorganized general motion to quench the flames was made.<br/><br/>Stopping to catch her breath on a rock ledge far from the fire, she stood panting and watched as the fire consumed a segment of confused wooden railing and stockade. Rocks began to fall, and screams were evident. But she was empty, as empty as she had been when she saw the orphanage burnt. Having come full circle and not knowing what to do next, she made good her escape and searched for Heliford.<br/><br/>It didn’t take too long to figure out the guards had finally gotten tired of the man’s antics, built a case for him being a no-good bastard, and put him in jail. While she did not discover the sentence, she knew that the only people she had grown close to were forever out of her reach...<br/><br/>By nineteen she had found her employ as an exotic dancer, and worshiper of Sharess. Carnality in all its forms became familiar to her, but finding most employers of loose women repulsive and the diseases such women were subject to even more so she elected to keep her profession purely professional-- she would have sex on a case by case basis, but otherwise she was there to arouse rather than fulfill. She occasionally picked pockets as she distracted men with her body, particularly when their tips were lackluster, and generally continued to be a sly rogue despite her newfound distaste for legitimately criminal endeavors. Having spent two years in the profession and still young for one of elf parentage at twenty, she again grows restless. She still strips for money, but lately she frequents more and more places where adventurers (reckless soon-to-be-deads, more properly) tend to congregate in the hopes of meeting someone or finding something that will allow her to hone her skills that one day she might free Heliford. She has no idea where she might go with him, but the thought that he is wasting away in prison does not escape her mind for more than a week at a time. But she knows trying now would only serve to get herself captured or killed, and neither would serve the end of her former master’s freedom.</div></div>"

Naginata is anything but 'light' (two-handed, 10# weight)...And a bit of an odd weapon if you aren't from the East. Based on the languages, your character is from western Faerun with Chondathan as the native tongue and Shou as an off-the-usual-regional-list bonus language? You don't seem to have the bonus equipment (often masterwork or magical) from any particular region, so you might want to check into that as some of it is quite helpful at low level!<br/><br/>As an additional aside, two Flaws? Ouch! The very short list of official ones from UA are<em>really nasty</em>. That's going to hurt pretty bad unless you're taking homebrew Flaws or Flaws inappropriate to your class. I asked permission to take one because Flaws are from a book (<em>Unearthed Arcana</em>) which is explicitly disallowed for the campaign and the additional feat was kind of role-critical for a battlefield control tank. In any case, you might want to list what your flaws are on your sheet. :)"

Few know of the neutral Tharchion of Thazalhar, fewer would guess how varied the peoples of that land may be in their lives, and only the most imaginative or romantic...Or those who understand that the selfishness of evil sometimes works wonders when it fixates upon love...Would presume to find much that is good there.<br/><br/>There is a plantation of cherry orchards on the shore of the River Thay, between that curse-ridden water and the Sur road north of Umratharos. None but those lacking in all ability to taste would suggest that the cherries grown there were anything but good. The plantation had been the property of the Dyzyara family for as long as there were Rashemi in Thay. The land was good, the cherries a blend of tart and sweet that sold well in markets as far west as Two Stars and as far South as Bezantur. It was said that barrels of them shipped well, holding their flavor and firmness if cared for, and were even ferried across the Sea of Stars and beyond the Dragonmere, finding buyers in places with outlandish names like Calimport and Waterdeep.<br/><br/>Despite all that is said of Thay...Despite all that is true of Thay...the Dyzyara were not an unhappy family. They were free, albeit not noble, and they made good profit from the fruit of their lands. If those fruit were harvested by slaves, and if a tithe went to the temples, and another to their rulers, well...Was that not the way life was in all civilized countries?<br/><br/>But there are other kinds of tithes.<br/><br/>When Shameviq was a young man, his sister was tested and taken by the Red Wizards, supposedly to become one of them. At first, the family was happy for her, but as months went by and no word came, they grew troubled. In time, they petitioned the autharch of Umratharos, and because the Dyzyara were a reasonably wealthy family, the autharch (for a price) raised the question politely to others. And the word came back that Shameviq's older sister would never be a Red Wizard -- would never, in fact, be anything at all, for she had been found wanting in some way or other and was now not merely dead, but undead, a silent servant for some noble or other.<br/><br/>Shameviq would never forget this lesson, but it would not govern his life. In time, he inherited the plantation of his forefathers, and having fallen in love with a young woman of a good Rashemite family, he married her. Their marriage was not the talk of all Umratharos, but it was hardly an insignificant or unnoticed event -- would that it could have been! -- as there were more important personages in Umratharos that day, one of whom was no less than the Zulkir of Transmutation. He was briefly distracted by the merrymaking in one quarter, the tiny parade of worshippers and newlyweds crossed the path of his own entourage, and on a whim he made a gift to the new couple.<br/><br/>The attention of such men is dangerous. And there are many kinds of tithes.<br/><br/>Prima noctis was not, strictly speaking, something most Thayan rulers concerned themselves with, but it was certainly within the purview of any autharch or tharch who chose to distract him or herself with such matters -- and who would deny a zulkir anything? So Shameviq alternated between anger and terror, alone on the night of his wedding while his new bride lay beneath the infamous Druxus Rhym...One of the eight most powerful sorcerors in Thay. For Shameviq, it was a nightmare. For Druxus, merely a whimsical distraction from the more seasoned pleasures he was accustomed to; one seasoned by the casual exercise of power and the terror it brought not only upon the Dyzyara but also upon his normal suite of entertainers, who feared they had somehow disappointed him.<br/><br/>Shameviq was not, strictly speaking, a good man, but he loved his wife. The incident was forgotten until nearly nine months later, when his wife gave birth to twins.<br/><br/>In the land of Thay, every birth is looked forward to with eagerness, and with fear, for there is no knowing, truly, if even the purest of bloodlines has not some tiny trace of the Outside within it, and there is no knowing when a child may be born who is magically gifted -- and these are both curses in Thay, for the powerful have uses for both types of children. Anything that makes a birth unusual is cause for alarm and fear.<br/><br/>There is nothing unusual about a birth being a private and secretive thing in the land of dark secrets. There is nothing unusual about a midwife suffering an unfortunate accident shortly after a birth -- although such incidents are apt to draw attention, desperate parents will do desperate things. Twins were auspicious enough to make the midwife nervous, but when the first of the pair delivered was obviously albino, she became truly fearful.<br/><br/>When the second arrived with the legs of a goat, she knew in her heart that she was doomed. She did make it down the stairs from the birthing chamber. Headfirst.<br/><br/>The Dyzyaras conspired and commiserated long into the night. It was nearly impossible to hide albinism. There were ways to darken the skin, but they were rare in Thay where the ruling Mulan were known by their height and paleness, and the Rashemi who were lighter-skinned, or otherwise showed more Mulan blood, were granted the best opportunities. In that sense, albinism was a good thing. In any case, even if such dyes could be found and acquired without undue suspicion, they would still do nothing to hide the pale scarlet of the children's eyes.<br/><br/>The real problem was the tiefling. There was little doubt that both children carried the zulkir's bloodline, as their pale-skinned appearance was enhanced by a slight delicacy in their facial features which bridged the divide between the Rashemi and the Mulan. The wizard's real legacy, however, was made apparent in those caprine legs. They named the little girl Dyernina, 'Blossom,' and her tiefling sister Yevdra...'Secret.'<br/><br/>It is a tribute to Shameviq's fear and hatred of the Red Wizards, to maternal love and parental wishful thinking that the family even tried to hide the tiefling-child...but try, they did. It was announced that only one of the two children had survived birth, and that one, named Dyernina, was paraded around with all the usual social clamor which accompanies a birth in a wealthy family, even a family of common blood. The word 'twins' was almost unheard on the plantation, and shushed quickly, so as not to remind the Mistress of her 'lost child'. As the 'child' grew, she was kept in the house most of the day...A not uncommon practice in a land where monsters and the undead roamed free...And was only allowed out into the cherry orchards for an hour or two a day, accompanied by a guardian. Perhaps five people in the world knew that it was not the same child each day! The sisters took turns enjoying the sun and the cool winds in the orchards, both careful to always wear long skirts and to shun the sight of strangers. It is a tribute to desperation and care that for twelve years, the family actually succeeded in hiding their secret even from the slaves and common-laborers on their own plantation.<br/><br/>But in the thirteenth year, Yevdra began to show the dainty, goatlike nubs of horns on her temples, and they knew the game was lost. The young tiefling suffered through the painful ordeal of having her horns sawn short three times, but cloaks and hoods were undependable in the Delhumide breezes, and the family knew that time was running out. Plans were made, gold was carefully secreted off the books, and Shameviq, always a very literate man, undertook a new interest in the art of sketching. He made many sketches of landmarks along the routes his cherries took on their way to Two Stars, began keeping careful records and sketches of the marks and seals attached to the writs of passage he had to obtain when going to negotiate the sales of his cherries in cities such as Umratharos and Surthay. He experimented with reproducing them, burning the results of all but his best attempts, storing the most successful in hidden places but trying every night to better them.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, all these preparations came to naught.<br/><br/>In the twins' thirteenth year, a Red Wizard came to administer tests, once again, to Dyernina. Just in case some magical affinity had manifested in her since her birth. Of course, he came without warning. Of course, he would not be put off or delayed. In the hurried rush to get one child hidden and the other into the room where the Red Wizard waited, the inevitable mixup occurred. The gods do love the crudest jokes. The wizard was a specialist, and knew exactly what he was looking for...Not merely magical<br/>talent, but also the characteristic features of the offspring of Druxus Rhym. He was in no way disappointed.<br/><br/>Within the hour, Druxus Rhym received the pleasant news that he now owned one of the more prosperous cherry plantations on the Thay...And more significantly, that two new, special students were en route to his summer house in Delhumide.<br/><br/>The School of Druxus Rhym:<br/><hr/>Much to their surprise, the twins did not find themselves in great trouble. Oh, there was discipline in the House of Druxus Rhym, but the real threat, never spoken directly but strongly hinted, was that their parents were hostages to their performance. Not merely obedience, but performance -- the better they served their new master, the better their parents would fare.<br/><br/>The real trauma was not the relocation or the strange household they found themselves in, but their separation. Tieflings were treated differently in the House of Druxus Rhym. She almost never saw her sister except in moments of privilege when both their teachers agreed it would make a suitable reward. With these goads, Yevdra became an exceptionally diligent student.<br/><br/>And it was not easy, being a tiefling bastard of the Zulkir. Yevdra quickly found that she was neither alone in this regard, nor even exceptional. At any time, there were between a half-dozen and a dozen such young bastards studying in the palatial building. Half-brothers and half-sisters all, there was very little love lost between them; competition was fierce, and any opportunity to injure or suborn a sibling was used to its limit. To the already overwhelming pressure to perform was added a desperate drive to grow stronger simply to protect one's self, to have some say in how one was used or abused at the cruel drive of the other students in whose mouths the words 'brother' and 'sister' were only the darkest mockeries of affection. They were all assigned slaves, and in short order Yevdra, like all the rest, began abusing her own to relieve the frustration and powerlessness she felt. She was acutely aware that in the thrall of the Zulkir, she was a slave in all but name...And it would only take one foolish mistake to become one in reality. Yevdra bent to her studies with a will, and when time permitted she exercised in her room, determined to be bigger and stronger than some of her half-siblings who relied only upon the magic they were taught.<br/><br/>Magic was a core element of the school. It seemed that all the bastards of Druxus Rhym had strong magical potential, and like many other Zulkir, he used them as agents once they had become powerful enough. This trust was a reward, but it was accompanied by geases and strict rules. Additionally, they were made painfully aware that if they went any place they were not permitted, the papers and writs they carried would result in their arrest and return to the school. Students thus returned were permitted to study, but were slaves in every respect, as the collars welded around their throats reminded them.<br/><br/>In other words, such students were utterly helpless.<br/></div></div><hr/>NOTES:<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(Again, I WILL finish the whole damn thing, just not tonight, I'm sorry!)<br/>Unable to do as well at ranged magics (FLAW), she turns to touch magics. Then she turns to the conductivity of magic through objects and discovers duskblade-lore.<br/>She is mostly self-taught in this regard, not uncommon for Duskblades.<br/>Becomes a courier for Rhym, travelling around much of the Plateau of Thay on various missions.<br/>She discovers a scroll left out as a bookmark in one of the libraries she has only limited access to: it details the elements of conducting the youth of one's own offspring into one's self. She realizes that Druxus Rhym is using this technique to extend his life, and realizes this is why he has so many magically potent bastards...And none over a certain age. His own power goes into his offspring in fragments, and by having them learn, it is strengthened and honed, then after a certain time he sacrifices them to lengthen his own life and increase his power.<br/>Bides her time until her courier duties take her by her old plantation, explicitly gains permission to visit. Digs her father's forgeries out of their hiding place and uses them to get across the Mulsantir to the Golden Way. In Two Stars she becomes a caravan guard. Wherever she goes, she takes whatever caravan is leaving soonest, wherever she ends up...Unless the caravan has a Red Wizard in it.<br/>Gets herself tattooed bodily a deep rich brown, the color of the darkest Rashemi. With her mixed facial features, she can get away with it. Mounts and glues different horns over her own. Seeks to disguise herself from the Red Wizards. Puts on more muscle and a little weight to round it slightly.<br/>But her magical tattoos won't be tattooed over. No matter what she does, they show through.<br/>Her goal is to get as far as she can from the power of Druxus Rhym. Eventually, acting as a caravan guard for a shipment of cherries from her own family's plantation, she ends up in Waterdeep.<br/><br/>Background elements/NPCs:<br/>Any number of agents of Druxus Rhym (he is the power behind the Trade Guild and undoubtedly its members are often reminded to look for someone who looks like Yevdra used to).<br/>Any Red Wizard or Thayan might recognize her tattoos as somehow interesting. She wears her hair long now...In Thay, that would mean she was a slave. Not necessarily so out here, and a slave would be unlikely to have tattoos, but still...It might cause trouble.<br/>She effectively can't go NEAR the Guild Enclaves. Waterdeep is immense, and a long way from Thay. It has immense magical libraries that she might be able to buy/barter access to. She's tired of running.<br/>Her half-siblings, some of them might be looking for her, escaped or on behalf of Rhym...The blood might draw others to itself.<br/>Her sister, perhaps warped by Druxus Rhym into the perfect hunting tool to regain his lost bastard child.<br/>And along the way from Thay to Waterdeep, there are caravan guards who would recognize her at various points along her self-changing odyssey, and might draw attention to her trail, or meet her and remark (possibly in front of Thayans) on her new appearance.</div></div><hr/>PERSONALITY:<br/>Personality-wise she is aggressive and often a bit loud. She's used to being treated as something of a monster, so she tends to take advantage of anyone who reacts to her with fear and uncertainty. She's not sure of how long she has left to live (for reasons apparent above) so she tends to live large and in charge."

his mother’s husband would have killed the squalling newborn if not for the mother’s intervention and pleas.  Had a trader not happened to pass by later that same day, the Tiefling could well have passed away without leaving his mark on Faerun.<br/>   <br/>        The trader, a kindly man from Elturel, took pity on the infant even though he could tell at a glance that the child had Infernal parentage; he named him Enochiel, after a legendary character from history, and brought him home.  At first his wife objected but soon came to care for the infant, and they raised him as their own alongside their son.  They were moderately wealthy from trading arms and armor forged within the city’s smithies, and thus provided a comfortable life for the growing family.  Of course, their adoption of Enochiel caused quite a stir within the community, turning some of their friends against them and causing many to question the family’s morality.  It did not help that, as a child, Enoch was perpetually in trouble.  He was involved in numerous fights against other children in his neighborhood; the fact that he won the great majority of them only threw fuel on the flame.<br/><br/>   By the time Enoch was 17 the Rake family had grown to include two daughters and another son.  The eldest son, Tavarin, never truly warmed to Enoch and kept him at arm’s length while they grew up together, though he did aid him in more than one of the aforementioned brawls.  When the Rake daughters reached courtship-age though both Enoch and Tavarin found common cause, watching over their sisters and avenging their honor when necessary.  The younger children adored Enoch, likely because of his difference from everyone else, and would unite against anyone who spoke ill of him.<br/><br/>   Enoch began practicing with the local militia each day, learning the art of combat.  At first the soldiers invited him to practice as a joke, hoping to make sport of him when they knocked him to the ground or bloodied his nose.  That changed as time went on and Enoch earned their grudging respect.  He showed a natural affinity for the martial arts and quickly became proficient with any weapon he was handed.  One veteran even trained him in the use of a fullblade, a sword 18 inches longer than a greatsword and capable of inflicting massive damage;  the other militia quickly grew to dread the fall of Enoch’s practice blade, which could drive a man to his knees or knock him from his feet with bone-jarring force.  As well as weapons Enoch trained in the use of all manner of armors and shield, learning the benefits and drawbacks of each.<br/><br/>   Slowly, ever so slowly, the community began to accept Enoch.  They still stared and whispered about him, true, but most found themselves accepting him as one of their own.<br/><br/>   Two years would pass before the trader, Orminiel Rake, would announce he was moving the family to Baldur’s Keep.  He claimed that the move was motivated by a business, and that the larger population would mean better sales and the like, but there were rumors of a scandal involving the wife of a local nobleman.  The family vehemently denied such accusation, and none of the other members ever believed that any such thing had occurred.  So, at the beginning of summer, the family left Elturel in a small caravan to make the long journey to the coast.<br/><br/>   Enoch had a sense of foreboding about the trip, and his fears were confirmed a week after leaving Elturel when bandits led by Zhentarim warriors struck.  In the bloody battle that followed both Orminiel and Tavarin were struck down, while a sorcerer used spells to incapacitate Enoch.  When he finally awoke he found himself in chains with the surviving Rake family members (Tallyana and Sere, the daughters, and Cordmin, the youngest son, and Veranie, their mother) and the caravan a smoking ruin.  The bandit raiders threw the family into a slaver’s wagon and tied Enoch to the rear of it and set out for Zhentil Keep were they planned to sell off the family and throw Enoch into gladiatorial pits.  Along the way Enoch proved more trouble than he was worth, killing two of his guards one night when his evening gruel was brought to him.  The leader of the Zhentarim warriors with the raiders didn’t threaten him, nor his adopted family; he simply drew his sword and impaled Enoch on it, stabbing straight through his stomach and out his back.<br/><br/>   For the second time in his life, Enochiel was left to die alone in the wilderness, his last thoughts of his screaming siblings and the perversions that the bandits had inflicted upon them each night.<br/><br/>   And, for the second time in his life, Enoch was saved by chance.  Mercenaries out of Waterdeep, hired to ransack a ruined keep near where the bandits had camped, found Enoch; he was in terrible shape, near dead from blood loss and fever and in the grip of delirium.  They almost left him there, but the cleric, sensing something special about the dying half-breed, argued to heal him.  In the end the rest of the group agreed, and two days later Enoch awoke in their camp.  He immediately leapt up and set out to follow the bandits and rescue his adopted family, but the mercenaries dissuaded him, explaining that even if he did catch up with the raiders he could not defeat them all.<br/><br/>   The group did, however, offer to help with the rescue, and they immediately set out after the bandits.  For three days they pursued them, until they sighted smoke in the distance.  Hours later they arrived at what had been the bandit’s campsite.  It had been utterly destroyed, corpses littering the ground around the wreckage of their wagons.  Most of the bodies had been incinerated beyond recognition, and massive claw marks scored the ground.  Enoch cried out, weeping for his lost family… until a voice reached his ears: Tallyana, the eldest sister, appeared from her hiding place under an outcropping of rock and ran to him.  She explained that the bandits had come under attack from a dragon, and that in the confusion she had managed to slip away.  She watched the dragon massacre the Zhents, then carry the slaves off in the single remaining wagon.  All she knew of its direction was that it flew to the northwest.<br/><br/>   Even though Enoch was relieved to find Tallyana alive, he despaired for he knew that Sere, Cordmin, and his mother would be dead long before he found them, their bones littering the dragon’s lair.  Despair quickly gave way to rage, and he vowed to one day hunt the dragon down and end it.  The mercenaries gathered up what remained of the raiders’ plunder and along with Enoch and his sister returned to Waterdeep.  Upon arriving they offered most of the loot to the two, which Enoch used to purchase lodging for his sister and new arms and armor for himself.<br/><br/>   In the four years since then Enoch has made his living as a mercenary, hiring out for almost any kind of work.  Occasionally he works with the same mercenaries who found him in the woods, though other times he works as a mere caravan guard or bodyguard.  His distinctive features and fighting style make him easily recognizable, and he has built a reputation as a competent, loyal warrior who has never betrayed a client.  His sister works in an Apothecary, mixing powders and grinding herbs for the aging druidess who eventually took her in; she’s a shadow of her former self, and prone to flinching uncontrollably when around men other than her brother.<br/><br/>   A day ago, while wandering the city’s market, Enoch came across a vendor selling various items of jewelry.  He would have passed it by without a second glance except that one of the pieces caught his eye- a distinctive necklace that his adoptive father had commissioned for Sere!  Enoch questioned the vendor at length, learning that he had acquired the necklace from wandering merchants to the north, and that one of the women with them matched Sere’s description.  However, that was more than a month ago, and they could be long gone; nonetheless Enoch plans on seeking these merchants out, and he dares to allow himself hope that Sere, Cordmin, and Veranie yet live.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Personality</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/>Personality:  <br/><br/>         After the horrors that Enoch has experienced with losing most of his family, and the hardships of trying to fit in with a society that actively distrusts him on appearance alone, he has developed a somewhat fatalistic attitude towards life.  Not that he doesn’t get upset or emotional at times, of course, but that he projects an air of easy confidence and self-assuredness.  He Isn’t the brooding sort, laughing easily and joking with others, but his outcast status as a Tiefling puts him at a disadvantage when meeting new people.  He’s something of an introvert, though attempts to overcome this when he can.<br/><br/>         Enoch’s views of good and evil follow his fatalistic attitude, in that he sees them as subjective and determined by each individual.  He does not think in terms of right and wrong, rather in terms of ‘benefit’ and ‘hindrance’.  The code he lives by does not allow him to betray a trust, nor does it prevent him from being cruel if the need arises; so long as he is true to his word and works within the law he believes he is ‘good’.  He has trouble understanding the views of others on the subject.<br/><br/><br/>Quote:  “No, I don’t seek to buy the souls of men.  No, I wasn’t belched forth from the cunt of the underworld.  No, I don’t know any of the Lords of Hell.  No, I don't...”<br/><br/></div></div><br/><br/>This is what I've got so far; I tried to make him pretty interesting and leave lots of possibility for story arcs and plot points.  May add more to the backstory soon, not entirely happy with a few spots.  Also, wondering if you want me to use the ECL for Tieflings or if I should ignore it and level him to 3rd.  And, the fullblade comes from the Arms and Equipment guide, which you didn't list as an allowed sourcebook.  If you want me to change that, no problem.  Lastly, I forgot to ask if we can purchase magic items with our starting gold or if we'll have to wait for play to begin before we can earn them.<br/><br/>Open to any suggestions or ideas you might have to improve the character."

The birth was unremarkable, the first few years of her life equally so. She was raised along with the other children of clergy members and the small handful of orphans taken in by the church. She was named Melita by her mother, a devout cleric of Sune, and given the surname of her father, Sanno. A handsome minor noble, Melita's father knew of the girl's existence but paid little mind to her on his occasional visits with her mother.<br/><br/>Things changed rather drastically for the girl just after her third birthday when her mother discovered a small patch of emerald green scales growing on her little shoulder. It had been several generations since the divine blood had surfaced, almost forgotten, but young Melita's family tree was firmly rooted in the church. Temple lore claims that her half-celestial ancestor was the daughter of Sune herself, though it doesn't take a particularly brilliant scholar to see a lillend or couatl is a much more likely source of the blood. Numerous ancestors had risen to great heights in the church, many even taking the position of Heartwarder. The reemergence of the blood sent a wave of excitement in the church, and the planetouched child was swept away, sent on a long, winding tour of every major temple of Sune her handlers could reach. The best tutors were hired, and church elders began grooming her for greatness. The fact that Melita was increasingly miserable with each passing week did not change anyone's plans.<br/><br/>Things progressed as planned for several years. Melita was shuffled from temple to temple, 'overseeing' various ceremonies and festivals (though in practice she was little more than interesting set dressing) until, when she was 12, the endless tour passed through her home country once more. They were in the city of Mordulkin, there to preside over the dedication of a beautiful new stained glass rose window recently installed in the temple. As the priests bustled about Melita sat in the courtyard, paging through her church-approved lesson for the day. The courtyard's gates stood open and inviting, a parade of interesting looking people passing by. There were even a few groups of children who didn't look much older than herself. In an uncharacteristic fit of rebellion she set aside her scrolls and simply walked out the gates. For nine years she'd been a perfectly obedient child, and by the time anyone had noticed she'd left her trail was cold.<br/><br/>She followed a group of chattering adolescents, keeping her distance and trying not to draw attention to herself. Eventually they led her to the Mordulkin Mage's Academy, and she passed through the gates without drawing a second glance from the guards. She wandered the strange complex of buildings for what felt like hours before she eventually found her way to a huge, shelf-liked room packed with more books than she'd ever seen. She strolled along the shelves, pulling down a few books at random. She didn't particularly care what they were about, just that she had received no approval to read them from the church elders. Finding an empty spot among the numerous students quietly studying, she settled in and began pouring over the books, surrounded by the sounds of countless scribbling quills and the soft flutter of turning pages.<br/><br/>Gradually the students left, headed back to their homes or dormitories, until the young aasimar girl was the only one left. Completely absorbed in her reading, at some point she'd combed her fingers through her long curly hair, knocking out the pins that hid a single lock of green hair that stood out starkly among her ink-black curls. A soft cough behind her almost caused the girl to jump out of her skin, one of the books she'd already finished clattering to the floor when she knocked it off her desk.<br/><br/>""Now now, that's no way to treat an innocent book..."" chided a soft voice behind her.  A woman in a simple grey dressed stepped up, retrieving the fallen tome. ""Collected Theories On The Origin of Spellfire..."" the woman read, brown eyes examining the book's cover. She was an adult, but still looked rather young. Probably a few years older than her mother, Melita though, though it had been over a year since she'd seen her. No, wait. When she shifted her head Melita caught a glimpse of a long, pointed ear hidden by the woman's dark hair. Half-elf. Probably older then. <br/><br/>""A bit advanced for someone your age, Miss Sanno.""<br/><br/>Panic overtook her when Melita realized the woman knew who she was. The little girl jumped to her feet and made a break for the door, but she'd barely gone two steps before the librarian's hand shot out and grasped her tunic tightly. Once the blind panic had subsided the woman introduced herself as Amalie Corrin, and sat alone in the huge, empty library with the girl until she confessed everything. The half-elven scholar's formative years echoed shades of Melita's upbringing, her human father obsessively focused on her elven heritage, elevating her to more of a symbol than a daughter.<br/><br/>Before the girl knew what was happening Amalie had gathered what few possessions she kept, turned in her resignation and spirited the plane touched child out of the city. They traveled from city to city, never staying in one place too long for the first few years. Melita adopted the name Eleni, taken from one of the books she'd pulled at random, and Amalie's surname as the half-elven woman claimed her as a daughter. Though their physical similarities were sparse, most people seemed content to write it off as an effect of the mixed blood, which didn't appear to have taken root in the young girl.<br/><br/>Gradually their stops became longer and longer. Amalie lent her significant experience as a clerk to numerous arcane academies of various sizes while Eleni studied, a burgeoning talent for magic growing steadily over the years. Two years ago the pair came to Waterdeep and have no plans of leaving any time soon.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/>Eleni puts people in mind most often of some sort of small, skittish woodland creature. When walking among ""the common man"" her eyes tend to dart around nervously, as if she expects someone to jump out of the shadows and slip a knife between her ribs at any moment. Though her pretty face and nubile form engender a certain amount of friendliness from most, she is severely lacking in social graces. For the portion of her childhood spent in the church she was shuttled around and treated more as an artifact than a person, encouraged to be quiet, obedient, and graceful above all. Though her time with Corrin has done much to encourage Eleni to become her own person and undo some of the harm the church did (unintentional as it may have been) her contact with other people was often breif, or with other cloistered scholars as socially inept as herself. When among people she's comfortable with the young Aasimar is much more at ease. Though she still stumbles over her words at times she's quick with a joke (not necessarily a <em>good</em> joke, mind you) and is far less jumpy and nervous.<br/><br/>Whenever possible Eleni tries to avoid conflict. Aggressive people can overwhelm her and she tends to capitulate often, though on matters important to her she can be as stubborn as a mule. She may stammer and trip over her words, but nothing short of the voice of her god will get the girl to back down when her core beliefs are challenged.<br/><br/>She likes fruit, foreign teas and the color pink.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong> <br/>At first glance, little betrays Eleni's inuman ancestry. She has thick, curly black hair kept cropped short, just shorter than chin-length, and olive skin. Her eyes, an unusually bright shade of green, might be attributed to her bloodline but they hardly stand out if you don't know what you're looking for. Beneath her usually modest, earth-toned clothing her body tells another story. Fine, iridescent scales in shades of emerald green and lagoon blue cover the outside of her hips and her shoulders, dipping down over her shoulder blades, where some ancient ancestor may have sprouted wings. Particularly keen eyes might spot a few scales trailing up her neck, but a simple scarf usually hides them. A thick shock of bright green hair grows near her left temple which always seems to grow back by the next morning no matter how many times she tries to cut it off. Kept carefully pinned beneath her normal black curls, it's hard to spot most of the time but can come loose in times of intense physical activity.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual orientation:</strong> Baffled.  </div></div>"

Each bonus cost 1000gp base cost.<br/><br/>No item can have more than 1 craftsmanship bonus of the same name at a time. Additionally, if a bonus has different ranks as indicated by roman numerals, you may apply a higher rank over the lower rank by only paying the difference in cost.""<br/><br/>There is no magic in this game, so rather than an item having to be magical before an effect can be present, it needs to be adequately crafted.  Think if the craftsmanshift as almost like attachments.  They can be added after creation, but masterwork is only when the weapon is made.  Therefore you do not need an empty plus 1 craftsmanship to have an effect, so keen adds 1000 plus the masterwork price, plus the weapon."

Planet Archaos is a hive world with more than a few local problems, but in the recent months we have received troubling news about several nobles going missing, and recently the Planetary Governor petitioned for assistance in tracking down the suspected cultists on the planet. <br/><br/>Archaos had a history of heretical activity, with a number of cults having been exterminated in its halls before. The underhive's gangers are likewise a threat, but your investigation does not begin with them, but the high spires of the imperial nobility.

Nobody is above suspicion, but the Marshal has proven valuable ally in the past and should be able to provide you with further information if necessary. <br/><br/>On final note: Success and above average evaluation on this mission will result in a (brief) 'vacation' period of investigating one of the cults of the nearby Pleasure world of Askelphion Secundus.

Out of the Ten seats, two are already taken, the remaining eight still waiting for the passengers.

He was perhaps ten years older than Kat, give or take. When the fat man offered sedative pills the unimpressed eyes of Garviel Ored watched him for a moment but he said nothing. There was a lho-stick hanging from his mouth, two fingers removing it for a moment before smoke was pushed out through his nose.<br/><br/>If Garviel intended to take the girls wager, he gave no sign either. As it would happen, he was noble born himself. There was a time when when he lived in the top of a Hive Spire, he ate the finest food, had personal tutors in all things academic and cultural. When he had to move among the masses he did so on a barge, resting on a bed with a pair of beautiful women, naked but for what golden trinkets he gifted them. He'd change the girls every week, the lower spires were full of pretty girls willing to be paraded in the hopes that when the Noble lad squirted into them it would hold and they'd be set for life. Even if they didn't get pregnant, they walked away with something pretty that they could sell when he got bored of them and had them returned to wherever they had come from. But that had been a long time ago, the only evidence of a 'better life' was a piercing.

After months spent guarding the twins as 'penance' for calling out the Deacon's hypocrisy, Kaltos found himself back doing what he loved. Killing heretics.

At least the plastics were strong enough to keep the smell inside, as he held the bag tight after losing lunch. The shuttle shook and shifted, its structure actually trembling as the engines heavy noise could be heard. Nothing beyond the shuttle's own noise though. Not until they hit atmosphere and began their rush down the sky through the air thick with black clouds. Piercing the cloud coverage, the shuttle's shell was already heating, but its systems were holding.<br/><br/>Several shaky minutes later the shuttle's acceleration began to cut down noticeably, and finally, it came to a short hover followed by a creaking noise as the landing gear protested against the shuttle's weight.<br/><br/>""Welcome to Archaos.

The pilot's voice spoke up in the communication gear was tired and angry, but the crew members began to unstrap already, getting out of the shuttle's seats to move to the pressured hatch, the hissing noise as it opened also bellowing in some foul-smelling air.<br/><br/>Outside the shuttle they were met with a smell resembling that of burnt breakfast. The air was thick with it, but there were people moving about all around, with two other small crafts in the hangar. One of them a partially broken shuttlecraft, another looking like a collection of weapons bolted together on a slim hull of an attack craft, it would have been generous to call the crude craft a true 'fighter' but it was definitely something else.<br/><br/>There was a set of several elevators nearby, four of them obviously large enough for not only personnel but vehicles to be brought through, but a handful of old service-elevators remained as well.

Descending one level brought a change in the appearances. If the streets above were busy with people moving about, and security as well as lights were abundant, the seventh level brought it down a step closer to the rest of the hive. The high metal and concrete layer above separating them from the level above towered at heights that only some of the factories on this level would come to reach at. The streets were more narrow, and alleyways plentiful. The smell here was mixed with the sickly sweet odors of some of the perfumes and stranger things put to use at this level.<br/><br/>There were some signs above, some advertising brothels and strip-joints, others boldly declaring they had the best guns on the spire, some promising discrete service at moderate prices for any particular needs. There were some folks around the streets that looked to be ready for a fight at a moment's notice, hanging together doing business with some workers that stopped by briefly, standing out from the rest of the crowd by the lack of larger weapons on display at least. Every last fellow or lass had at least a pistol or knife at their side, and a fair number had more. One of the men watching over the door of a place called ""Hell's Brew"" had an autogun hanging by its strap before him, and the flak-vest and helmet that looked like they came off some unfortunate sod in the imperial guard that had bought the farm before those items exchanged hands. The bloody bullethole in the helmet supported that theory all the more.<br/><br/>There was a shriek at an alley further off, but nobody seemed to really pay notice. Gunshots further off, and a pair of women walking out one building to throw a third one's corpse off the balcony to hit the ground two floors below. There wasn't a single arbites in sight here.<br/><br/><strong>Kathline, (Kyvas) (Level 5)</strong><br/><br/>Trip along the elevator up higher was less eventful than the earlier one. A few people in dusty, poor-quality clothes were on their way, along with one woman in a better-quality outfit that made her stand out from the crowd the level below, but as the doors opened, she became more of the norm than the exception. There were a pair of arbitrators standing near the lift's doors, watching them as they stepped out, comparing their faces to a few posters they had at hand apparently, but not making a move in their direction.<br/><br/>There was a fair share of towering buildings here, but the Arbites presence was both seen on the street and easily noticeable with the fortress-like structure to the distance, several flyers in the air seeming to keep watch on the many streets. Arbites in full combat gear were present, watching after the people walking along here and there, but not seeming intent on harassing anyone that didn't look particularily suspicious. Though people did hurry about their business quickly, moving along. Some folks in suits seemed to move in a group towards a restaurant nearby, several others in less impressive clothing staring at the windows hungrily. This was as close to tasting noble life some people could get, and even this was just scraps from above. The stuff the non-noble leaders could get their hands on for a hefty price.<br/><br/>""Damn nobles, they ought to all get caught up and turned into mystery meat. I hope the psycho on the loose finishes them all."" A particularily surly man in a cheap suit muttered in his passing, casting a hateful glare at the restaurant. Hurrying along towards the location of the earlier advertised longhouse, the place seeming to have a few clients leaving, looking quite pleased, a couple that seemed to be chatting in low-gothic in a calm tone.<br/><br/>""Its not that the prices haven't increased, but with the new shipment delayed, the governor is sure to feel pressure..."" ""-What can he do? Without some of the missing folks its hard to get everything working right.

The armor plating and the gun-turret on top, along with the narrow ports in the sides quite fit for a gun's end suggested the area was less than safe from time to time, the scarring on the metal and the old burnmarks showing it had faced both las-weaponry and projectiles several times in the past.<br/><br/>However, as the Arbites were leaving, one of the younger troopers seemed to cast a curious look at the two of them, nearing somewhat. ""Are you clergy?"" He spoke a bit hesitantly, looking somewhat guilty for some reason. ""Ahm, the Church of the Imperial Saints is built over towards the shieldwall."" The trooper gestured down the street, and then looked at the two of them a bit awkward. ""I apologise if the Sergeant seems a little ... unfriendly, she merely feels the pressure from above."" The man nod his head, quickly hurrying off towards the transport once again."

This is no forge-world, but believe me this Hive is a factory of death and destruction. Somewhere down there are things no sane man would want to witness. And those last three levels above them are a cesspool where those who want some safety that the undercity doesn't provide will go to, when they also cant afford to be spotted by the Adeptus Arbites.

Short sigh followed, as the priest scratched some skin off his cheek.<br/><br/>""Reportedly there's gangs down there that protect cultists and lunatics.

""But some people do say that those of noble birth were taken down to at least the ninth, and possibly below. But if they've gone below the tenth, to the undercity, you best forget about them and leave it be. Nobody goes down there anymore unless they absolutely have to. Its not as bad as the<em>underhive</em>at the very bottom, beneath the factories themselves, but believe me when I say the arbites have a reason to enforce strict control. The only reason the undercity still works right is that the condemned men there don't have any options. Food and specialists come down from the highest floors.

For the sturdy build it had, the place actually had some open space in the main area, and a sign advertising cleanwater showers at the end of a hall. Many of the individual room doors were shut, but a couple had been left open to show variety of rooms. There were some priced down to 15 thrones a night, with a bedframe with a mattress on both sides of the room, and those rooms were rented out to pairs of people. Apparently it was about as cheap as it got here. It didn't include meal or anything of the sort, just a safe place to rest at.<br/><br/>The step up at 20 thrones was similar, but included a fair bit of food for the meal, as well as a chance to use the rest of the facilities. Going up to 30 Thrones provided a single room with a large bed and good food, as well as a security locker with a handprint scanner. There was also a priority alarm button in the room itself, and a boast ""guard present in under half minute or half your payment back"" on it, with a warning beneath ""testing without danger liable for 2 Throne penalty fee.""<br/><br/>The last luxurious room was opulent with pillows and a massive bed, synthetic silk instead of simple cotton, and with the best food the place could provide, as well as its own private shower and bathroom area. There was only one of them in the place, but it was priced at a full 50 Throne a night price, though it included its own dedicated bodyguard waiting outside the door in case of any danger.<br/><br/>There appeared to be a few people already busy at the counter making some calculations, at another wall a map of the spire, divided into levels of the city, and then the nearly 50 floors tall undercity which made the hive's middle-layer for most part, and then the perhaps 20 floors tall 'underhive' which was marked with several warnings. The maps looked to be quarter-century old, but they were masterfully done, and printed in a manner suggesting they were Adeptus Mechanicus' work. The level of detail and the amount of notes on areas was intimidating. It was unlikely there were other maps like that around on the Hive. What's more, the map seemed to lack the usual 'area unmapped for security reasons' markings. Indeed, it even mapped out the Governor's Villa at the top of the spire, claiming a whole level of the city.<br/><br/>""Well hello there ma'am. Are you and your servitor signing in?"" A man in a fine suit spoke while walking up. Bit of padding showed, and it didn't sit perfectly, but it was still impressive enough show of wealth in a hive. The man's suit bulged somewhat under his left arm though, and his friendly expression and smooth cheeks might look well groomed, but there was a bit of scar visible at the corner of his left eye, the left eye itself red in shade compared to the brown right one."

Given her unusual almond-shaped eyes, one might think the attractive young woman had come to this place from afar. But Sara and both her parents had been born in Waterdeep—she was a local girl, through and through. And lately she had become something of a regular at the Rusty Shield, drawn in by the tales told by travelers and adventurers. She even came prepared for the possibility of an adventure of her own—sturdy clothes, supplies, as well as her crossbow and buckler.<br/><br/>Of course, Sara was not completely naïve—she knew “adventuring” and mercenary work brought with it the risk of injury or death. But testing her magic against danger was the fastest way to hone her skill in the Art. And the opportunity to help those in need, experience excitement, and perhaps bring in some coin were all positives as well.<br/><br/>The sorceress turned on her stool, taking in the room and wondering what fascinating story she might hear today. She took note of the craftsmen, and the well-dressed man who seemed like he was waiting for someone. But she did not know that any of them would welcome an intrusion. Admittedly, Sara’s gaze was drawn briefly to the barmaids from time to time—her romantic interest was in the fairer sex, and the possibility of meeting a woman who would welcome her flirting also drew her to the Rusty Shield. Regardless, she always enjoyed herself here and did not think this time would be an exception."

Sellswords, hedge knights, the less astute of Waterdeep's arcane community; where these people congregated so too did those seeking to employ their ilk.

The outfit showed off much of her body, particularly while she was on top of her table and observers sitting, but her real adventuring clothing was in storage with the inn keeper.

Jinx leaned back in the shadowed niche provided by the poorly junctured interstice of two shops and a stable, watching the place and debating with herself until she saw another tiefling walk casually in.<br/><br/>Well, then.<br/><br/>He didn't come out immediately on his ass, either. Things were looking up.<br/><br/>A few minutes after Enoch's arrival, the door bangs open to its stops, admitting yet another tiefling. She pauses fractionally, gauging the room's reaction before moving further in with a deliberately aggressive swagger. In that moment, most gazes turn to her, and then turn to look at Enoch at the bar before looking back at her.<br/><br/><em>Of course we know each other, you idiots.</em>Jinx thinks.<em>Just like every single elf knows every other elf. No. Even less than that.</em><br/><br/>There are other reasons to look at her than the massive, curling horns that jut back from the sides of her forehead. A brazenly broad-hipped and womanly figure, heavy with muscle and just enough fat to keep her curvy, full lips with just a hint of sharp teeth pressing them...and she doesn't make any effort to hide what she is at all. Her spiraling horns would make a mockery out of any cloak's hood, and the quilt-and-stud of her trousers wrap tightly around caprine, cloven-hooved legs. A short tuft-tipped tail completes the picture. Odds are that someone in the room is checking right now to see if she radiates evil.<br/><br/>If they are, they'll find that she doesn't. Surliness, yes. Evil, not so much.<br/><br/>But then, not much Good either.<br/><br/>The new tiefling wears a patchwork ensemble: bits of clothing and leather from a dozen different eastern cultures, but polished mail gleams beneath it, and her arms and the sides of her throat show intricate tattoos that some far-travellers might identify as Thayan. She isn't waving a polearm around, but the experienced eye will note that among the couple of dozen or so pounds of chain draped in coils to either side of her hips (heavy loops of metal framing and accenting those rounded swells, not that they needed it), there are spiked weights and bladed tips in plenty. Reason enough to discourage idle hands from trying to trace those curves. Like her clothing, the chains show a peculiarly mixed origin, obviously not the work of one smith or even one school of smithing: the spiked fighting chain is decidedly Theskan in origin, the peculiar flail most assuredly from farther East up the Golden Way even than that - possibly forged in Kara Tur. The real ringer, however, are the strangely delicate black-metal links and blades of a scorpion chain. Elf-work, that. Drow-work, to the cognoscenti...No other elves make such things.<br/><br/>A light jingling accompanies the muffled clip-clop of her hooves on the sawdust-scattered floor; not simply her mail or the fighting chains draped from her waist. Glittering alongside the more banal sparkle of raindroplets, myriad small coins and a couple of brass Gond bells have been braided into her dreadlocks - further indicators of her travels. The brass and pale silver stand out against her white hair: Cormant bedoars, Silver March moons, Cormyrese falcons, Symbian ravens, and silver circles, octagons and triangles of dubious origin. The strand of pierced shell-disks around her throat might be coinage from somewhere even further east than that, a possibility reinforced by the handful of branded and graved leather tags on her right shoulder: markers from several different caravan companies showing employment in completed transits.<br/><br/>If the tags are hers, and she didn't inherit them, she's come from the far side of Faerun, where the Golden Way opens onto the mythical East.<br/><br/>Jinx crosses the room with a faintly hostile sneer on her lips and perches one thick haunch on the barstool next to Enoch.<strong>""Cousin.""</strong>Her accent is exactly that delicate precision of the red-robed Thayan wizards from the East.<br/><br/><strong>""This lot will be assuming you know me and asking you who I am whether I talk to you or not.""</strong>She digs a few coins out of a pouch, frowns and sorts them, choosing carefully before slapping copper and iron from not too far abroad down onto the counter and nodding to the bartender for a drink.<strong>""You may as well have something to tell them.""</strong><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Pic is a quick, temporary shop of an Osmoz image (http://afrogothic.tumblr.com/tagged/Osmoz) until I can draw up something more accurate.

As a matter of fact, it didn't bother her at all. Unlike most races, the moon elves were very tolerant of nearly all races. Though she found the tieflings intriguing, she had never met any before. Of course she had read and heard rumors about them, but she was fascinated about them. She wondered if they spoke abyssal, one of the languages she had learned and their race tends to speak. Turning back to the bartender who smiled at her she blushed lightly, before realizing she had no idea what to order.<br/>""What would you recommend, I'm truely in the mood for anything."" She felt awkward not knowing what they offered, or what she wanted. She also really felt awkward about not being able to stop starring at the tieflings. She wasn't staring at them in an awkward or hostile manner, but with a look of interest and intrigue. She took in their similarities, and their differences. She took note of their bodies, and horns. She wanted to speak with them, but she would never be able to muster up the courage to. That's when a girl made a rude comment about the tieflings. They can't truely be that bad can they? I mean sure they look scaryish, but maybe they aren't thet bad at all. She wasn't sensing evil from either of them, why were people so bothered by them. That's when she realised she had gone back to staring, they probably noticed her looking at them. She just simply gave them a friendly smile before awaiting the bartenders recommendations. She had to admit to herself, both of the tieflings were arousing in their own ways. She decided after she had ordered her food she may approach them, they were very interesting."

What can I do for you?”</strong><br/><br/><strong>“Your father thinks he’s caught the overactive thief whose been plaguing the Southern Ward lately. Unfortunately, the evidence is pretty circumstantial at this point.”</strong><br/><br/><strong>“And a <em>charm</em> spell accompanied by a few creative lies might draw a confession out of him,”</strong>she replied. The sorceress was always glad to help out, but closing cases was often time consuming—she realized with disappointment that adventuring would have to wait for another day.<strong>“Go on ahead, I’ll catch up with you in a second.”</strong><br/><br/>The guard nodded and headed for the exit. Sara looked to the others gathered at the table and then spoke to Turnstone.<strong>“I’m sorry, but it looks like I’ll be occupied for the rest of the day. I wish you all the best of luck,”</strong>she said with a smile. There was one silver lining here—her nose would be spared the sewer. After a little wave goodbye and a wink to the stripper she made her way to the door.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Lissa Moonstrike was relieved to finally arrive at her destination—the sooner she got out of this rain, the better. She had heard The Rusty Shield was a good place to find mercenary work, and after her uneventful journey to Waterdeep she was eager for a new challenge.<br/><br/>The elf nearly walked right into a human woman at the doorway into tavern.<strong>“Sorry,”</strong>both women said simultaneously. Lissa tried to go right, but the woman went left.

The human walked out into the rain.<br/><br/>The newcomer removed her wet coat and looked around. She was only just into adulthood, at least in the way elves counted the years. She had a slender build that made her seem delicate, though in this regard looks were deceiving. Her long, black hair was worn up in a slightly haphazard way that implied she was not overly concerned with her appearance—though like most elves she had the quality of “natural beauty” down cold. She was dressed in fairly drab and sturdy clothes, though the crossbow at her back and a strange stabbing weapon at her belt showed that she not just a traveler.<br/><br/>Lissa’s gaze was immediately drawn to the bulletin board, and the notice regarding pest disposal. But there was no information on how the Guildmaster could be contacted. She moved to hang her coat by the fire. The pale elf was then about to go ask the bartender about the notice when she saw those gathered a nearby table. Most of them looked like adventuring types. She approached tentatively.<strong>“Hi... Are you Guildmaster Turnstone?”</strong>If he confirms his identity, the elf has a seat at the table.<strong>“My name’s Lissa, I’m interested in your disposal job.

He uses less acolytes, has less deaths among them, but he's also willing to sacrifice lives in order to save countless others.<br/><br/>So far, they have likely proven themselves otherwise, but have this mission as a ""Baptism of Fire"" to truly show their abilities.<br/><br/>Also, I don't want to just -tell you- what your characters think of the man.

Without examining it further, its not possible to confirm this or say for certain.<br/><br/><strong>Common Lore (Tech)</strong>states that modifying a device may well count as tech-heresy, and seeing how patchwork the fighter-craft's armaments are it seems highly likely that its far from being a mere strange 'standard template construction'. The fighter craft appears to house several las-weapons on its surface, fixed to fire straight ahead. It looks dangerous to even try and lift.<br/><br/><strong>Common Lore (Machine Cult)</strong>further states that this kind of machinery scraped together in a battle might earn the modifying group front-line duty as a penalty and penance to the Omnissiah. Taking apart a weapon of the Cult of Mechanicus and reassembling it takes notable skill though. Its beyond the crude 'jury rigging' of even imperial guard's most devoted vehicle-crews, though far from the careful computation of the forge world crafters. Lastly, if a Heretek is found out to be behind such experimental creation, it may well be a sign of bigger trouble.<br/><br/><strong>Forbidden Lore (Adeptus Mechanicus)</strong>includes some knowledge of the STC models, and their sheer value. While the craft's base form has been crudely modified its still looking different from what the machine cult is using. It might suggest the craft's unmodified version would be an example of one of the lost technologies. What one of them is doing sitting around in a hangar such as this is harder to say. If the Adeptus Mechanicus were to be informed of this they might well take the craft to try and study its base form and see if there's evidence to suggest a lost template is present on the world. Return with one of them might well provide prestige and Omnissiah's favor.<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>Failed in the most important one yes, but the Common Lore was quite good indeed, so tried to include information on the cult's stance on the matter. Also posted in-game post to move the story along somewhat.<br/><br/>The group should have a chance to set out, I'll aim to reply at Sunday at latest, once I know where they agree to head out on, or if they have more to ask from someone or if they turn their attention towards the craft in the hangar, so forth."

2001: Hogwarts Stops Accepting Students<br/>Due to significant damage to the structure of the school, Minister for Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt ""regrettably"" decides that Hogwarts is not safe for student admission.  The school remains closed for three years while repairs to the basic infrastructure are made.  Repairs appear to take longer than expected, as the remaining professors were largely uninvolved, and wizards sent from the Ministry to aid in reconstruction were not granted access to certain areas of the school.  During this time, remaining students were either transferred or instructed in smaller facilities.<br/><br/>November of 2000: A New Division Created<br/>There is considerable debate over who should have authority regarding the approval process for Hogwarts.  Headmistress McGonagall is initially reluctant to allow anyone the right to declare Hogwarts unfit, but the International Magical Office of Law rules that any structures or areas used for education and/or competition must be declared structurally sound.  The Department of Magical Games and Sports is placed in charge of creating this process for approval, based on experience with managing venues for Quidditch and duels.<br/><br/>July of 2001: Hogwarts Accepts New Students<br/>After several inspections, all of which hindered by Headmistress McGonagall, are deemed incomplete, Minister for Magic Shacklebolt grants a waiver that only areas above ground or intended for student use require approval.  Hogwarts is allowed to admit new students for the first time since 1997.  The age of enrollment is changed to 14, with a smaller wizarding preschool set up for those 11-13.  (Note: all sixth year students that are not transfers are assumed to have enrolled at this time.)<br/><br/>July of 2002: Freeze on Professors<br/>An attempt to hire a new professor is challenged by the Department of Magical Education.  Incidents of professors being given positions for which they are not qualified are brought up, and a series of trials at Wizengamot commence, as Headmistress McGonagall challenges the professors previously approved by the Ministry that turned out to be far more than unfit.  The trials go on for the entire 2001-2002 school year, with both Ministry officials and Hogwarts professors making accusations of power grabs.  The ongoing litigation, combined with teaching duties, results in further claims of negligence.<br/><br/>May of 2002: The Trials Escalate<br/>In an apparent attempt to undermine Ministry authority, Headmistress McGonagall countersues the Ministry of Magic for the unlawful sacking of and slander against Albus Dumbledore, seeking what was expected to be a simple ruling to discredit the Ministry's judgement.  In a surprising move, the Ministry countersues Hogwarts for the villainization of Severus Snape.  Both cases are thrown out for a number of reasons, but soon become part of the main trial.  Talks of approval authority disappear entirely.<br/><br/>November of 2002: Resignations Abound<br/>Hermione Granger resigns from her position in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, expressing ""greatest discontent and regret,"" creating shockwaves and further fueling the Hogwarts team's case against the Ministry.  Fires are further fueled when Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom follow suit, resigning as well from the Auror's Office.  The four high-profile resignations kick off other resignations as well from within the Ministry.  Just as the Daily Prophet announces the ""collapse of the Ministry of Magic,"" Poppy Pomfrey and Rolanda Hooch resign without public comment.  The Daily Prophet runs many stories on the resignations, but is unable to secure any interviews.<br/><br/>February of 2003: Chaos Takes Hold<br/>Two class action lawsuits are filed, the first against the Ministry for various crimes committed by their appointed instructors, and the second against Hogwarts for negligence.  The lawsuits are both headed by the currently unemployed Hermione Granger.  A very thorough list of dangers were left unchecked within the school and on the school grounds is provided, as well as charges of conspiracy from within the Ministry.  Neville and several other students provide testimony of the Crucio curses they received at the hands of their Ministry-approved professors, and Hermione herself takes the stand to tell of the troll and basilisk that almost killed her while she was in the school.  Strangely absent from the trials are Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.<br/><br/>April of 2003: Death Eaters Return<br/>A muggle family is murdered and the Dark Mark appears for the first time since 1998.  Two more marks appear within a week.  With three Aurors no longer employed by the Ministry, little can be done in response.  Ex-Auror Scott Edgar is brought out of retirement to lend a hand, and Minister Shacklebolt issues a decree to suspend all trials involving the Ministry so that the Ministry can focus on the new activity.  Harry Potter finally comes forward, bringing a series of accusations against the Ministry as well as Shacklebolt himself, bringing light of his actions as part of the Order of the Phoenix, to include the missions authorized by Shacklebolt endangering the students of Hogwarts.  Shacklebolt is suspended during the investigation, leaving Pius Thicknesse as acting Minister.  Thicknesse, under significant scrutiny, allows the trials to continue.<br/><br/>October of 2003: A Deal is Reached<br/>Hermione Granger agrees to a deal with Kinsgley Shacklebolt and Professor McGonagall.  Under this deal, the Ministry of Magic would be required to pay a stipend to all students that attended Hogwarts from August of 1995 through May of 1998 for offenses committed by Dolores Umbridge and the Carrow siblings.  Professor McGonagall was forced to agree to allow any number of students to gather outside of classes without retribution provided that a prefect, Head Boy, Head Girl or Quidditch Captain was in attendance (the latter for Quidditch practice only).  This would be to ensure that the students would have the ability to ban together and protect each other in the result of an abusive professor as well as learn defense skills necessary for such an event.  Should that right be infringed, the students would contact the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, which would be authorized to intervene in such cases.  Shacklebolt is unable to carry out his end as he is currently suspended, so Harry agrees to drop the charges in exchange for a written agreement to the terms.<br/><br/>July of 2004: Court Ruling<br/>The Wizengamot rules that the Wizarding Examinations Authority may evaluate proposed professors at NEWT level, requiring a minimum score of Acceptable in any subject they teach, assist, or substitute.  In addition, the Department of Magical Games and Sports would retain approval authority over Quidditch pitches, dueling grounds, and classrooms involving the instruction of magic, but that the Ministry does not have the authority to interfere with school proceedings in any other way.<br/><br/>August of 2004: Back to Work<br/>With the ruling of the Wizengamot accepted by both sides, Hermione Granger reapplies and is accepted back into the Department of Magical Law.  Within the week, applications are received from Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Neville Longbottom.  They are accepted back into the Auror Office.  They join the existing Aurors against the recent surge in Death Eater cells, and Dark Marks stop appearing very quickly.  Unfortunately, Hogwarts can not claim the same success.  Rolanda Hooch and Madame Pomfrey do not return.  Steven Gates becomes the first new professor hired after re-earning his NEWTs in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Herbology, and Arithmancy, just in time to begin Hogwarts' fourth year since re-opening.<br/><br/>May of 2006: Autonomy<br/>After endless inspections of both professors and structure and several debates about the Forbidden Forest, the Department of Magical Education and Department of Wizarding Trials Authority (formerly Games and Sports) rule Hogwarts fit for instruction and free to self-govern within the limits agreed upon.  Headmistress McGonagall and Deputy Headmaster Flitwick immediately set about inscribing various security measures and doing some ""minor renovating"".<br/><br/>August of 2006: Current Time"

(http://www.beyondhogwarts.com/cgi-bin/amancalc.cgi?)<br/><br/>Character Names have significant meaning in J.K. Rowling's world.  The name a character goes by gives a clue as to his or her personality.  For example, Ronald Weasley would be a ""1,"" which doesn't fit him at all.  Ron Weasley, however, is a ""2.""  The full list is below.<br/><br/>1 - This is the number of the individual, the solitary unit. Ones are independent, focused, and determined. They set a goal and stick to it. They are leaders and inventors. Ones find it difficult to work with others and don't like to take orders. They can be self-centered, egotistical, and domineering. They are often loners.<br/><br/>2 - Two represents interaction, two-way communication, cooperation, and balance. Twos are imaginative, creative, and sweet natured. Peace, harmony, commitment, loyalty, and fairness are characteristic. But two also introduces the idea of conflict, opposing forces, and the contrasting sides of things: night and day, good and evil. Twos can be withdrawn, moody, self-conscious and indecisive.<br/><br/>3 - Three represents the idea of completeness or wholeness, as in the threesomes past-present-future and mind-body-spirit. Three indicates talent, energy, an artistic nature, humor, and social ease. Threes are often lucky, easygoing, and highly successful, but they can also be unfocused, easily offended, and superficial.<br/><br/>4 - Like a table that rests solidly on four legs, four indicates stability and firmness. Fours enjoy hard work. They are practical, reliable and down to earth; they prefer logic and reason to flights of fancy. They are good at organization and getting things done. Like the cycle of the four seasons, they are also predictable. They can be stubborn, suspicious, overly practical and prone to angry outbursts. The conflicts possible in ""two"" are doubled in four.<br/><br/>5 - Five is the number of instability and imbalance, indicating change and uncertainty. Fives are drawn to many things at once but commit to none. They are adventurous, energetic and willing to take risks. They enjoy travel and meeting new people but may not stay in one place very long. Fives can be conceited, irresponsible, quick-tempered and impatient.<br/><br/>6 - Six represents harmony, friendship, and family life. Sixes are loyal, reliable, and loving. They adapt easily. They do well in teaching and the arts, but are often unsuccessful in business. They are sometimes prone to gossip and complacency.<br/><br/>7 - Perceptive, understanding, and bright, sevens enjoy hard work and challenges. They are often serious, scholarly, and interested in all things mysterious. Originality and imagination are more important than money and material possessions. Sevens can also be pessimistic, sarcastic, and insecure.<br/><br/>8 - Eight indicates the possibility of great success in business, finance, and politics. Eights are practical, ambitious, committed, and hard working. They can also be jealous, greedy, domineering, and power-hungry. Eight is said to be the most unpredictable of numbers and can indicate the pinnacle of success or the depths of failure; the potential to go either way is present from the beginning.<br/><br/>9 - Represents completion and achievement to the fullest degree (as it is the complete number, three, expressed three times). Nines dedicate themselves to service, often as teachers, scientists, and humanitarians. Strongly determined, they work tirelessly and are an inspiration to others. However, they can also be arrogant and conceited when things don't go their way."

Its members exemplify what the rest of the world perceives Durmstrang graduates to be: cunning, brave, skilled in Dark Arts, and perhaps having more nerve than sense. If you're on an outdoors backpacking trip or journey through strange lands, Atticus members are your Fearless Leaders - they will rush into danger without overanalyzing the situation first (as your Liberalises would). But unlike Terpsichoreans, they don't take chances for the sake of taking chances. They'll always have your back in battle.<br/><br/>A high proportion of Lord Voldemort's Durmstrang followers are Atticus students and graduates. This number formerly included Igor Karkaroff, who now leads the Durmstrang Damned.<br/><br/>The Atticus house mascot is a Thestral, and the house colors are green and black. It roughly corresponds to Slytherin with a dash of Gryffindor thrown in for good measure.<br/><br/>Concinne House<br/>Concinne House dates back to the late Renaissance period. It was founded by wizarding's equivalent of nobility, and is perceived as the most exclusive of Houses. Of course, the Sorting Hat knows best, and now sorts people here based on inner beauty and charm as well as the purity of their bloodlines and finances. Members of this House aren't immortal, of course, but if and when they die, they'll look good doing it. Because many of the students here come from wealthy pureblood families, they tend to think they're better than everyone else. But because of their innate charm, they tend to be excellent diplomats later in life.<br/><br/>Its colors are crimson and white, and its mascot is a white tiger. It doesn't really have a Hogwarts equivalent.<br/><br/><br/>Liberalis House<br/>Liberalis House is nearly as old as Atticus House, and was founded by a wizard who felt that a student's time at school was better filled with scholarly pursuits of esoteric subjects than duelling. These students know every corner of the Library and can probably recite the index to Dark Forest Magic: A History of Durmstrang Institute. Their minds are sharp, their grades are excellent, and they sleep with books tucked under their pillows. Sure, many of them are attractive people - but they would rather be curious and interesting people. They do have a tendency to sound like know-it-alls, though.<br/><br/>Many of them go on to become Healers, scholars, librarians, and intelligence agency operatives.<br/><br/>Their colors are purple and grey, and their mascot is the chimpanzee. Yes, we know there are no chimpanzees in Bulgaria. They're equivalent to Ravenclaw.<br/><br/>Terpsichora House<br/>Terpsichora is the newest of the Houses, being only two centuries old. Its founder was a stunningly talented artist who was best known for also being slightly dotty. Artists, poets, musicians, and the insane tend to flock together here. The best description of the House and its members is...well, colorful. These people tend to be extremely unreliable, but if you're completely stuck on a problem, they'll come up with an incredibly creative (and probably wildly impractical) solution. They're pranksters and entertainers and throw great parties. They'll welcome anyone - as long as you've got something fun to contribute to the community.<br/><br/>The House colors are sunshine yellow and periwinkle. The mascot is a magical platypus, because it's too much to ask for them to have a normal mascot. They're probably closest to Hufflepuff because they're the most tolerant of oddities, but there isn't really a good comparison to Hogwarts houses."

Her eyes are a deep brown, and her black hair falls to mid-back in soft waves. Her skin is a light shade of golden brown, and beneath a slightly oversized school sweater she seems to be quite busty.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>To most at Hogwarts, both students and staff, Vidya is a friendly but rather lackadaisical student, not really someone who would stand out in a crowd. At her core, however, Vidya is driven by curiosity and nothing thrills her like exploration. With the extensive repairs and renovations Hogwarts has undergone in the wake of the battle with Voldemort's forces she's taken it upon herself to explore and map the school and grounds, both those areas available to students and, more eagerly, the places she's forbidden from going. She takes the fact that no one has concrete proof of her trespassing as a testament to her skill, and though she's known among certain circles (mostly those who view the rules more as suggestions than anything) as someone who knows her way around a dark hallway she's perfectly content being an unknown.<br/>Though highly intelligent, Vidya tends to be an incredibly lazy student. She can be a highly focused, dedicated worker when she finds something she's passionate about, but the trouble is Vidya's passion lies in the unknown. The well-trodden roads of standard schoolwork don't hold her attention for long. A few select teachers have seen the blood, sweat, and tears she pours into less standard work, but most write her off as just another lazy underachiever. She has little patience for ""silly wizard squabbles"" as she calls everything from overly intense inter-house rivalries to blood purist bile, and often goes out of her way to disrupt such conflicts.<br/><strong>Background:</strong>Vidya was born to the youngest children of two prominant wizarding families; the Ayres of Ireland and the Darzi family of India. The younger of two siblings, Vidya's older sister did little to ease the already prodigious expectations piled on the young witch's shoulders. Though she only spent 4 years at Hogwarts, Rani Ayers quickly rocketed to the top of the social strata through a combination of raw charisma and exceptional quidditch skills. Those same three years were young Vidya's first at a real magical school; while she spent much of her first year seething in envy, she eventually realized that being over-looked by staff and students alike gave her ample opportunity to get into mischief without being caught and she embraced her lack of notoriety.<br/>Though born in Ireland, Vidya spent several years of her childhood in India and attended primary school there in light of Hogwarts' entry age changes. In 2002, a year after her quidditch-prodigy sister transferred to Hogwarts, Vidya's parents enrolled her in the school, banking on the its reputation and long history to overcome its current strife.<br/>[Post-enrollment background to be added later]<br/><strong>Interesting fact:</strong>Though she doesn't attend many matches at Hogwarts, Vidya is an avid quidditch fan. She collects Jalandhar Djinns merchendice; her older sister plays Chaser or them.<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>14.5"" Vine (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Vine), Ashwinder Egg shell core, quite swishy<br/>From the notes of Amala Darzi:<em>Practically unheard of in western europe and still quite unusual in this particular wand's native India, Ashwinder egg shells are rarely used by wand makers due to their strange and often unpredictable nature. Seemingly weak at first, many witches and wizards shun ashwinder egg shell wands due to a perceived lack of power, though contrary to common perception they can be phenomenally powerful when in the hands of a wielder who knows it well. Much like ashwinders themselves, wands with their egg shells at their core excel at quiet, subtle work such as charms but can produce highly destructive spells when their owners are cornered. Each shell core wand varies greatly from the next, as their already unwieldly nature reacts strongly to the wand wood with which it is paired, amplifying both the negative and positive qualities of the wood. </em><br/><strong>Pet:</strong>None, but would like an owl or some other bird<br/><br/><strong>Agility:</strong>4<br/><strong>Athletics:</strong>2 - Climb 1b, Run 1b<br/><strong>Awareness:</strong>3 - Notice 1b<br/><strong>Cunning:</strong>3<br/><strong>Deception:</strong>2<br/><strong>Endurance:</strong>2<br/><strong>Fighting:</strong>2<br/><strong>Magical Expertise:</strong>3 - Charms 1b<br/><strong>Magical Projection:</strong>4 - Charms 1b<br/><strong>Marksmanship:</strong>2<br/><strong>Persuasion:</strong>3<br/><strong>Reflexes:</strong>3<br/><strong>Status:</strong>2 - Rumor 1b<br/><strong>Stealth:</strong>4 - Sneak 1b, Open Lock 1b<br/><strong>Will:</strong>3<br/><br/><br/><strong>Classes:</strong><br/>Majors (Care of Magical Creatures, Potions) 3<br/>Minors (Herbology, Divination, Astronomy) 3<br/>Others (History of Magic, Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, Muggle studies) 2<br/><br/><strong>Destiny Points:</strong><br/>1 available, 2 invested [Night Eyes Quality]<br/><br/><strong>Qualties:</strong><br/>Night Eyes, Furtive<br/><br/><strong>Drawbacks:</strong><br/>Sleep Deprived<br/>"

She has dark, richly colored auburn hair and bright, inquisitive blue-green eyes. Due to the fact that most of her time outdoors happens in the dead of night, her skin is somewhat on the pale side, with a smattering of freckles scattered across her nose, cheeks and shoulders. She needs glasses, though just for reading, and wears them on a thin silver chain around her neck when not in use. She has a soft spot for muggle fashion (her parents' regular care packages always contain several months worth of magazines on the subject) and enjoys dressing up. The only demerits she's ever received were over unsanctioned uniform modifications.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Quiet, studious and more than a bit mousy, Petra seems like your typical shy scholarly type. She often gives people the impression that they're looking at a small, frightened rabbit given human form and she can be quite jumpy, particularly when engrossed in a book. Petra isn't all timidity though; when engaged in a topic she's passionate about (particularly astronomy) she instantly fills with exuberant energy and will talk the ear off anyone who will listen and she can be an unfailingly loyal friend to anyone who's kind to her.<br/>Unfortunately, having grown up under parents who made no attempt to hid the fact that they expected little of the girl, and having spent her early school years in a rather cut-throat social environment has molded Petra into a natural follower. Though she likes to be alone with her studies she easily capitulates under more forceful personalities, particularly those who are less than kind, and often finds herself an unwitting accomplice to things she'd rather have no part of. General peer pressure has little effect on her, but when directly confronted she folds fairly easily. The increasingly large pool of students at Durmstrang willing to pull her strings for any little thing they desired was the largest motivating factor behind her choice to apply for transfer to Hogwarts.<br/><strong>Background:</strong>Born to a rather unremarkable young witch and her squib husband, Petra's family didn't think much of her chances to get into a prestigious school like Durmstrang, but she surprised many, not least of which her parents, when she passed the entrance exam with flying colors. Though her magica power is average at best she possesses a keen mind and a zest for academia that more than makes up for her lack of natural talent in most cases.<br/>Though other students payed little attention to her for her first few months at school, meek little Petra soon became a popular target for bullying and harassment. By her third year she was nearly working herself to death, cajoled into doing the homework for nearly a dozen of her schoolmates.<br/>Unable to stand up for herself in the face of such overwhelming opposition, Petra applied for transfer to Hogwarts near the end of her third year and was accepted over the summer.<br/><strong>Interesting fact:</strong>Petra has a hidden passion for Quidditch. Never able to go out for the team at Durmstrang, she spent much of her summer honing her skills and plans to pursue it at last at Hogwarts. The sport seems to be the only thing able to bring out Petra's little known competitive side.<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>13.25"" Walnut (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Walnut), Rusalka hair core<br/>From the notes of Amala Darzi:<em>Favored mostly in the slavic nations of eastern europe, rusalka hair makes for moody wands, prone to wilting if not properly appreciated by their owners. While quiet and reliable if well maintained, these wands are generally not particularly powerful, though there is one notable exception. When a rusalka hair wand has properly bonded with a witch it can be capable of performing impressively strong defensive spells. <br/>It is a common folk belief that the wands favor attractive young women and bring death and doom down upon the heads of any male who dare wield them. Though while I have yet see one paired with a man, to this day no young men who've tried a rusalka hair core wand in my shop has spontaneously combusted.</em><br/><strong>Pet:</strong>Cricket, an affectionate grey tabby with a vexing habit of wandering out of the dorms when Petra isn't around.<br/><br/><strong>Agility:</strong>4 - fly 1b, acrobatics 1b<br/><strong>Athletics:</strong>2<br/><strong>Awareness:</strong>4 - notice 1b<br/><strong>Cunning:</strong>5 - logic 1b<br/><strong>Deception:</strong>2<br/><strong>Endurance:</strong>2<br/><strong>Fighting:</strong>2<br/><strong>Magical Expertise:</strong>2<br/><strong>Magical Projection:</strong>2<br/><strong>Marksmanship:</strong>2<br/><strong>Persuasion:</strong>2<br/><strong>Reflexes:</strong>3 - dodge 1b<br/><strong>Status:</strong>2<br/><strong>Stealth:</strong>2<br/><strong>Will:</strong>2<br/><br/><strong>Classes:</strong><br/>Majors (Astronomy, Arithmancy) 3 - Astronomy 1b<br/>Minors (Herbology, History of Magic, Muggle Studies) 2<br/>Others (Potions, Ancient Runes, Divination, Care of Magical Creatures) 2<br/><br/><strong>Destiny Points:</strong><br/>3 available, 1 invested [Well studied"" Astronomy]<br/><br/><strong>Qualties:</strong><br/>Well Studied: Astronomy<br/><br/><strong>Drawbacks:</strong><br/>Flaw: Will, Vulnerability: body<br/><br/><strong>XP:</strong><br/>1"

Not fat, mind you, though he certainly has a pot-belly; he has broad shoulders, thick arms, and legs built like a warhorse.  His long, hazelnut hair is some times tied back in a ponytail, and he sports a massive beard that covers his neck and face fully.  Said beard is wild, and unkempt. His eyes, the same color as his hair, are often said to possess something akin to a feral glint.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Shy and socially awkward around others, he mostly just likes to be left to his own devices. He is fond of animals, which he understands intuitively. When he does take a liking to a person, he will usually follow them around, much like an animal might, and becomes exceedingly protective over them. Because of his attitude, some people joke he must be a Lynx that can change into a human (rather than it being the other way around).<br/><strong>Background: </strong>His parents, Moira and Shaun, were both half-bloods that attended Hogwarts; Ravenclaw and Gryffindor respectively. They now operate a ranch and veterinarian service for magical creatures, as well as a kennel and other facilities for breeding animals.<br/><br/>Because his parents were always busy, Edgar had a tendency to play and interact with the animals as a child. It is from this odd childhood that his ability to interact with, and understand, animals comes from.<br/><br/>Mori has been with him since he was five years old; when the half-lynx was old enough to get around on its own, it instantly took a liking to the young Edgar, and absolutely refused to be parted from him. Consequently, the two have an intrinsic bond that supersedes what is traditional for a Familiar and Witch/Wizard.<br/><br/>His time at Hogwarts has been marked by occasional scuffles, though nothing serious enough to get him kicked out.<br/><strong>Interesting Fact: </strong>Just about everyone should know he's an Animagus.<br/><strong>Wand: </strong>9 inch wand made from applewood, which favors those with a more ""outdoorsman"" personality, and which is said to be particularly good with herbology.

His hair is black, and on his head, it is kept short and neatly quaffed. He has blue eyes, and fair skin.<br/><strong>Personality: </strong>Cold, calculating, and threatening are good words that describe Gustav, and probably the most noticeable of his traits. However, he is also a patient man. He enjoys carefully analyzing and scrutinizing his environments and those around him; coming from Durmstrang as he does, this ""paranoia"" is actually a genuine survival skill, given the harsher environment.<br/><strong>Background: </strong>Born in  Sachsen-Anhalt, germany, Gustav comes from two pure blood families: The Raubriter and Derstahl's. Both families have a history of producing fine dark wizards and witches, as well as a history of politicking.  He was carefully groomed as he was raised, to be a fine, upstanding man that would make families proud.<br/><br/>He attended Durmstrang where he was inducted into House Atticus, a rare honor amongst the students of the school; but not surprising, given his pedigree. Both of his parents, after all, were upstanding members of that House.<br/><br/>Currently, his immediate family is seeking asylum in Britain due to an ongoing blood feud that recently killed the surviving members of his mother's side of the family (the Derstahl's), including Gustav's uncle, Artyom. Because of this, he has transferred to taking his classes at Hogwarts.<br/><br/>Though confident in his skills, he knows the value of not overstepping his bounds. He will bide his time; he will get better. Then, he will return to the lands of his birth, and exact bloody vengeance against those who have dared to sully his family's good name.<br/><strong>Interesting Facts:</strong>Will be a new student to the school as play begins; some other students may know about him and the situation going on, if they A) pay attention to pure blood families, or B) pay attention to international wizarding news. Otherwise, it might be seen as very odd for him to be here.<br/><br/>He will be wearing the Hogwarts uniform and robes, of course, but he is also known to possess a set of dark green with black trim robes, which bear the symbol of House Atticus (A Thestral). During the colder months, he wears a wolf fur cloak, which is traditional for those attending Durmstrang.<br/><br/>The wand he uses is a potent weapon that is very dangerous, and also extremely picky about who uses it. It has been in the Raubriter family for five generations; only a worthy member of the family may properly use it, without risking the wand backfiring in a potentially lethal manner.<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>Foot long wand made from pale cherry wood, which is rare in the western countries, and known for its power. The core of this special wand, which is known as Umbra (Latin for ""Shadow""), is a mixture of runespoor fang, and Banshee hair.  The mixture of core materials produces a frighteningly powerful, difficult to use wand; it is highly aggressive, and well-attuned to the Dark Arts.<br/><br/>As an aside note, Umbra is a peculiar wand which has bonded tightly to the Raubriter family. It will function well for any of them, though always does best with the current heir to the family (which Gustav is).  It is also likely to backfire if someone not of his family attempts to use it. Because of Umbra's peculiar personality, it refuses to cast healing spells or the spell Lumos (these spells automatically fail when cast). In addition to this ban, rolls for Charms and Transfiguration spells are at a -1 penalty, although Curses and blasts of energy are at a +1 bonus, due to its aggressive nature.<br/><strong>Pet:</strong>None. He did not bother to have a Familiar at Durmstrang, considering it a weakness and vulnerability that could be used against him.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Gustav by the numbers</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Agility: 2<br/>Athletics: 2 - Strength 1B<br/>Awareness: 4 - Notice 1B<br/>Cunning: 4<br/>Deception: 3 - Bluff 2B<br/>Endurance: 3 - Stamina 1B<br/>Fighting: 2<br/>Magical Expertise: 4 - Curses 1B<br/>Magical Projection: 4 - Curses 1B<br/>Marksmanship: 2<br/>Persuasion: 2<br/>Reflexes: 2 Quickness 1B<br/>Status: 2<br/>Stealth: 2<br/>Will: 3<br/><br/><strong>Classes</strong><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Major:</span> Ancient Runes, Arithmancy: 3<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Minor:</span> Potions, Herbology, History of Magic: 2<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Others:</span>Astronomy, Muggle Studies, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination: 2<br/><br/><strong>Qualities:</strong><br/>Keen Senses<br/>Treacherous<br/></div></div>"

Shapely and curvy in all the right places, her thick, raven curls frames a heart shaped face dominated with large, dark blue eyes under straight, elegant brows in a face that could only be called peaches and cream. Full lips curl in some secret mirth over a chin that suggest stubburness in character. A slender neck flow into a torso with firm C-cup breast before narrowing into a slender waist and flaring out into rounded hips and rear; long, well toned legs complete the image. A natural beauty with an irish lilt.<br/>Personality: Darci is a complicated mixture of devoted friend and vindictive bitch. If you’re a friend, or treat her decently, she’ll bend over backwards and do flips for you; if you’re not or cross her… well, she apparently isn’t above stealing boy-friends, girl-friends or your favorite PJ’s. She can be fun and a little loose when it comes to relationships, but she’s never going to go back on a promise. At the same time, she’s fond of pranks and isn’t above doing whatever it takes to get her way when it’s called for. The best advice she’s ever given anyone is, “Remember the Golden Rule. I’m golden and that’s the rule.”<br/>Background: Darci is the only child of  Sean and Catherine Donavon; potion brewers in a small town just outside of Dublin. While her mother comes from a long line of magical blood, her father was born to muggles and it took a little to get use to life as a wizard… particularly when Darci came along and was already causing some mischief by the age of 3. She never meant to cause those gray hairs, it just seemed to come naturally to her…<br/><br/>At the age of 3, Darci managed to get ahold of her father’s wand and while playing with it in the garden, she turned the pet cat into a purple rabbit, an ant into a very large ant and, before it could be corrected, the front door into a giant slice of pound cake. To this day, no one is sure exactly how she did it, but it was indications of times to come.<br/><br/>When Darci turned 11, and Hogwarts was still closed, her parents took it upon themselves to teach her the things that she would need to know, focusing on what they knew best, potion making and herbology… so she was a natural when she made it to the school and those became her focusesof study. She hadn’t been at the school very long before she discovered boys in a real way and started what would become a string of short, passionate and varied in taste relationships. Between her sweet smile and sincere regrets she has only had 1 such relationship end badly, and that has jaded her slightly in some ways… but she does love the boys.<br/><br/>Agility: 3<br/>Athletics: 2<br/>Awareness: 3 – Notice: 1B<br/>Cunning: 3 – Memory: 1B<br/>Deception: 3 – Bluff: 1B<br/>Endurance: 3 - Resilience: 1B<br/>Fighting: 3 – Wands: 1B<br/>Magical Expertise: 4<br/>Magical Projection: 3<br/>Marksmanship: 2<br/>Persuasion: 3 – Seduction: 1B<br/>Reflexes: 3 – Dodge: 1B<br/>Status: 2<br/>Stealth: 3- Sneak: 1B<br/>Will: 3<br/><br/>Classes<br/><br/>Major: Potions, Herbology: 4<br/>Minor: Ancient Runes, Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy: 3<br/>Others:History of Magic, Astronomy, Muggle Studies, Devnation: 2<br/><br/>Qualities:<br/>Keen Senses<br/>Animal Cohort (Phoenix named Boomer)<br/><br/>Drawbacks:<br/>Fear (snakes)"

Her height varies, though she tends to try to be around 5’7”. She’s naturally slightly small in breast size and slight in curves at 55 kgs and fair in skin.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Despite her Irish blood, Nia manages to maintain a rather cool façade, rarely deciding to fight. Instead, she chooses to manipulate those close to the situation to either fight for her, or blame the other over her. Being called a mudblood seems the only thing that riles her up, though she hides it decently well until she can figure out how exactly to take her revenge. Her main goal is to be the best and prove it. When she does fight, she will continue to do so until she wins, even if that means multiple rematches.<br/><strong>Background</strong>:Nia was born to two muggles, in an ordinary hospital in the city of Donegal. It was a surprise when her hair turned from a soft red to the same dark brown of her mother’s as soon as she’d been fed and had a chance to actually see her mother. Fortunately, many of the nurses and doctors had just brushed it off as the hair not having been clean enough to truly tell. Also fortunately, at least one nurse in every hospital is at the very least a squib, to help filter magically caused injuries to the proper healers. The nurse at this specific hospital had been the only one able to see and believe the change in the girl’s hair color. Mostly because he recognized that specific ability as being one a particularly clutzy girl a couple years under him, one Nymphadora Tonks, also had. He managed to persuade the muggle staff to allow him to be the nurse assigned to this family. It was then, with the permission of Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic, that he took the time to explain magic to the unsuspecting family.<br/>The result was a lot fewer surprises when their daughter’s hair spontaneously changed colors and her eyes came out purple one day. It also made it easier for her to get her powers under control before she could go to muggle primary. Unfortunately it didn’t help that her teacher, while the best metamorphagus at the time, was a bit of a blood supremacist. He was the first to call her a mudblood, after having failed to keep a disguise for more than a minute or two, the first time she’d tried manipulating more than just her hair and eyes to a consistent form. She hadn’t heard it before. Nor did she know exactly what it meant. But she knew from the inflection it was an insult and she strived harder until she heard the compliment “Hmph, I suppose you are a<em>real</em>witch after all.” That took all of an hour’s more of training and getting the next facial structure correct for more than half an hour. She was only 4 and had only been in training for a month. This was the person who trained her not to fail, who trained her not to use her powers for goofy hair colors. So when she finally went to school with muggles, when she was 5, she had lost most of the playfulness associated with her age. She never wanted to play dress up, though she did enjoy painting.<br/>It wasn’t until three years later that her impressive control over her ability paid off for her family. The War was starting to get into full swing and neither her nor her family realized the danger they were in. So, when her teacher showed up to take her and, through her determination, her family, to a safe spot, their lives were spared from the death eaters that showed up a mere half an hour later. How he managed to find an Order safe house was beyond her, when she looked back on the fond memory, as he was obviously a death eater to have known about the attack only that far in advance. But she was grateful when the order let her in and she did meet Tonks, if only briefly as she was heading out for a mission.<br/>The Order kept her family safe during that hectic year, and surprisingly, when she returned to school, no one questioned her absence and she still managed to pass the exams through hard training, or rather studying. Her family was resettled, her new home paid for by insurance (they thought it was a fire) and war relief funds (from the wizards who knew the truth). That was also the year that she played with her appearance the most, using the excuse that she was away for a year for her eyes, normally kept dark, lightening to honey, and her hair, previously tinted with red, turning brown. This would become her identity, she decided that year. In the six years until Hogwarts, she kept growing her appearance with her and by the time she was in secondary she was considered the cold bitch of the school, beautiful but frigid. They were fortunate that she’d also managed to control her accidental magic from those comments. Her sorting into Slytherin, her teacher’s house, was a surprise, but a pleasant one. Her goal for the remainder of her time there was to let people know that she was the best, and that her blood was a small hindrance to her full ability.<br/><strong>Interesting Fact:</strong>She enjoys taking other people’s appearances, partly for fun but mostly to see how long it takes for others to catch her in the act.<br/><strong>Wand: </strong>Light 14 inch Yew with Unicorn hair core.<br/><strong>Pet:</strong>Sugar Glider named Po<br/><br/>Agility 2<br/>Athletics 2<br/>Awareness 3 +1d notice<br/>Cunning 4<br/>Deception 4 +1d act +1d Deception<br/>Endurance 2<br/>Fighting 2<br/>Magic Expertise 3<br/>Magic Projection 3<br/>Marksmanship 2<br/>Persuasion 3<br/>Reflexes 2<br/>Status 3 +1d reputation<br/>Stealth 2 +2d blend in<br/>Will 3 +2d Dedication<br/><br/>Classes:<br/>Majors: 4<br/>Potions and Herbology<br/>Minors: 3<br/>Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, and Care of Magical Creatures<br/>Others: 3<br/>History of Magic, Astronomy, Muggle Studies and Divination<br/><br/>Qualities: Metamorphagus and Stubborn<br/>Drawbacks: Fear: Acrophobia<br/>"

Tan with short length brown hair and has piercing blue eyes. Tattoo on left shoulder of a skull being pierced by 3 different types of blades: a rapier, a longsword, and a dagger. Another tattoo of his mother's birthday in Roman numerals on his left tricep. Clean shaven usually, but it's not extremely rare to see a goatee or a gruff 5 o'clock shadow on him.<br/><br/><strong>Personality: </strong>Alex is what one could call ""connected."" His charm and persuasive abilities are well known in the school but even more so his fencing abilities and his overall fighting ability. He holds his head up high and is sure, steady, and dependable. Alex is a rock with his beliefs and cannot be easily swayed to think opposite of his currently held beliefs. He is not one to fall into peer pressure and encourages others to follow his example and be steady with their beliefs. He works well with others, especially if they share his beliefs and interests.<br/>However, Alex can be hot-headed during his most vulnerable times and can easily go to arms when something doesn't go the way he intended to go. He tends to keep these conflicts outside of the classroom.<br/>Alex is well-spoken and loyal. He can be counted upon to do the most important tasks. Although being a pure blooded wizard, he doesn't care about that and views everyone as equals until someone gives him a reason not to.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Alex was born in Lyon, France to a very prestigious family in France with a rich history, the D'Artagnan's. He is a middle child of three, the oldest being 23 and the youngest being 9. The D'Artagnan family is known to be proficient in raising great sword-fighters, especially fencers. Alex has many cousins and relatives, so reunions are always a fun time. At age 4, Alex's immediate family and grandfather moved to England because his father got a job in the Ministry of Magic in Britain.<br/>Alex was home-schooled by his grandfather, being taught not only how to read and write, but also how to fence. Swordfighting was the way that the D'Artagnan's settled disputes in France with other families. Alex is very talented, and was seen as such at a young age. He was also very wily, being able to butter people up and get them to do things for him. He was able to sometimes get out of his studies and go to a local park and play with the kids there. One time, he went to a park and, unknowingly, played with some Muggles. His strict grandfather caught him and got angry with him. Alex did not understand, but he was young and did not have a steady hold of his current beliefs or a good understanding of the situation.<br/>Alex eventually went to Hogwarts and began his wizarding career as a student of the prestigious school of Hogwarts.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Interesting Fact:</strong>Alexander d'Artagnan is a descendant of Charles de Batz-Castelmore d'Artagnan who was part of the Musketeers in France during the time of Louis XIV.

Amazingly enough.<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong><br/>The first thing people tend to notice, is well. Stevie to put it bluntly is puny, standing a mere 4'11 inches. She has naturally tanned skin, with a set of deep dark chocolate brown eyes, when not changing her hair color, it is naturally a dark brown. Being on the slender side, Stevie has grown into a lovely young girl over the years. Having been all scrawny until about a year ago, when suddenly the young girl seemed to blossom over night.  She has a mixed heritage, with her Asian ancestry presenting itself in the shape of her eyes and her small features . She has a nice slightly C shaped scar near her left eye, a reminder of her first time on a broom. ( and the poor tree she smacked into)<br/><br/>It is true, that from the moment she was born it was apparent that she was gifted. Within the first hour of life, her hair rapidly shifted from black to blonde, to red and every other color in between. With a little bit of concentration, and a scrunched up nose she can change herself to look however she wants. Freakishly tall? No problem, Blonde? bring it on. Honestly though, Stevie tends to keep her own face, simply switching up hairstyles, colors and other minor details when the mood strikes her. Leaving the more dazzling displays of her gift for special moments.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>On the surface, she seems to be an open book, but she doesn't just let anyone in, and is a more complex individual then some people might think, Stevie has a firecracker temper and sadly, is fairly easy to tick of, she's also a terrible at lying. Stevie is definitely something else, she's the kind of girl who marches to her own beat, and takes nothing from anyone.<br/><br/>Stevie has a 'childish' streak, She tends to treat most situations as a joke, and can usually find humor even in the darkest moment. A lot of this behavior is because she hates dealing with problems, and will often procrastinate, or out-right try and ignore their existence if she can get away with it. Stubborn, and the kind of girl who is fiercely loyal to her friends, Stevie can easily be your best bud forever, or she could be the girl who dreams up creative ways to get vengeance, all the while smiling quite happily in your direction.<br/><br/>But while she can be a vengeful little thing, Stevie isn't really a dark person, and will never intentionally seriously hurt another person. Mostly she'll stick to shouting, rude hand gestures and humiliation. Extremely adventurous, Stevie loves to explore the castle, and just about anywhere else she can get too. Which has led to some very interesting situations in the past. While she does have brains, don't expect her to sit still long enough to actually pay attention to any lecture.<br/><br/><strong>Background: </strong><br/>Stevie wasn't really aware of the magical world, or that she was indeed a real life witch until she was much older and sort of figured it out for herself. Well, the fact that she was different anyway. Stevie's mom Kiki is very much a muggle. Her mother stubbornly refused to acknowledge her daughters 'unusual' talents.  And has treated Stevie as if she were a ticking time bomb since birth. Something that has always hurt and bothered her, although she's never really said it to her mother.<br/><br/>Which always made Stevie wonder...just how the heck had her parents hooked up? Well, as she later found out. Her mom had went through a 'wild' phase, which meant that her mom had went on vacation with some friends over to England, had a couple of drinks, met a rather unusual but dashing man and it was one of those nights, you revisit alone in the dark with a big stupid grin on your face. When Stevie's mom found out the truth about him, her mother had freaked out and left without another word, hoped back on a plane out to New Jersey and never looked back. But her mother's method of dealing with something, the whole if she ignored it long enough, it would just go away. Well, it never quite worked with Stevie. Whom from the very beginning seemed determined to torment her mother ( not intentionally.. okay maybe just a little bit) by being well different. Phone calls from school about her bright blue hair one day, to concern about why a child should be wearing contacts that had made her eyes a brilliant orange. Over the years, whenever something unexpected or hard to explain happened around Stevie, her mother would pack them up and move. Kiki would sit her young child down and urge her to try really hard not to be different from everyone else. But as much as she tried ( which wasn't all that hard after a few years) Stevie just couldn't fit into her mother's image of what she should be.<br/><br/>( Much to her mothers everlasting horror, Stevie once impersonated her aunt Vicky when she was just ten years old.)<br/><br/>Stevie began to 'rebel' against her mothers wishes, she embraced her freaky talent, and would find little ways to constantly remind her mother that she wasn't just some regular kid, forcing her mom to face the facts and hopefully see her.<em>Really,</em>see her. It became more then either of them could handle. Especially when a new husband entered the picture, and her mother wanted nothing more then to have a perfectly normal little family. A shouting match, followed by a lot of begging on Stevie's part. And Kiki got back in touch with the dashing stranger she'd met nearly twelve years ago. Stevie was on the next plane over to England, after an awkward farewell with her mother.That was when Steve finally met her father, Liam Arai. He worked for what she would come to understand was the Ministry of Magic as an auror, someone who hunted down dark witches and wizards. While things in her new home were weird, Stevie quickly took to her new world, finding out her 'weirdness' was actually an inherited trait that was rather rare among her kind. Apparently it hadn't been seen in her family since her quirky, great grandfather Toshio had passed on.<br/><br/>But what she hadn't counted on what walking into yet another weird family situation. Her father comes from a pure-blood line, but are widely known as 'Blood Traitors' The Arai's originally from Japan, but have been in England for several generations. And while the blood has stayed pure, up until Stevie was born. The Arai family ( most of them) were actively working against Voldemort and his minions. Not only that, most of them, including Arai;s Auror father Liam, seem almost fond of muggles. The Arai's seem to have different skills and goals in life, a few working for the Ministry, some working with Dragons, others as teachers and a few years back, a cousin of Stevies played professional Quidditch.<br/><br/>So on top of being from a muggle household, Stevie gets to contend with big-headed fools who look down upon her because of who her parents are. While this bothers her on a deep level, she tries not to show it on the surface, smiling brightly when others scowl in her direction. Despite having lived with other wizards and witches for some time now, the muggle-ness hasn't quite vanished. Stevie still heads over to the normal part of the world, buys CD's made by muggle artists, watches muggle television shows and is not scared to show off her pictures from when she was a kid. Pictures that are frozen.<br/><br/>She was enrolled in Hogwarts, and she quickly took an interest in not only the world, but the most popular sport in the wizarding world Quidditch. From the moment she first rode on a broom, Stevie was addicted to the rush that came from soaring high in the sky, chasing other players around the arena. She has two positions she favors, Seeker and Beater. Because frankly what is more fun then hide and seek on a broom, or actually being encouraged to wack a heavy object at other people.<br/><hr/><br/>Interesting Fact: Stevie has strong ambitions to one day become a professional Quidditch player. Also, if she starts mumbling things in Japanese, you know your in trouble.<br/><br/>Wand: Ebony Wood, with a phoenix feather. it's 10 inches, so a fairly short wand.<br/><br/>Pet: A  little white and tan rat named Baba Yaga.

He was raised with tales of spirit guides and working from the time the sun came up until the sun went down when the tribe gathered at the large fires and shared the fruits of everyone’s combined effort in a large family meal.  The Panimaha believe in the saying “it takes a village to raise a child.” As such he had many fathers and many mothers, but his grandmother by blood had been the last witch doctor of the tribe.  She was described as being able to heal any wound, change the shapes of plants and stones, make it rain in a drought; even become the spirit wolf to ward off evil.  Even muggles today scoff at the notion that any of this could be true and write it off as Indian superstition.  Normally they would be right.  But, Xavril’s Grandmother, was a real live wand wielding witch.<br/><br/>Xavril and the other children his age was like any other child outside the reservation.  Children of both sexes have toys and games, the girls inclining to dolls and ""playing house,"" while the boys turn to bows, riding, and marksmanship.  They were all carefully instructed by their elders, not only in household arts and hunting methods, but also in the code of ethics, the traditions, and the religious ideas pertaining to the tribe.  Xavril was formally enrolled into the first degree of the warrior society and given his first tattoo through an initiation ordeal at an early age of 5 years.  At about 12 years of age Xavril made solitary fast and vigil to obtain communication with the spirit guide which was to be his protector through life.  Xavril spent several days alone in the forest before he felt the wolf spirit calling to him.  He performed the tribe’s ritual and fell into a trance.  He awoke feeling no different.  Later that day some of the men from the tribe came to check on Xavril and found a white wolf.  Believing that the wolf had killed Xavril one of the men stabbed the wolf through the neck.  When he did the wolf re-took human form and Xavril lay dying on the ground before the search party.<br/><br/>They rushed him to Xavril’s grandmother who sent the men away and healed him without much difficulty and told him all about the magical world and a school where he could learn magic. But it was across the ocean in England.  Xavril thought all night about magic and whether it was real and then an owl arrived with an invitation to attend Hogwarts.  Xavril took the invitation and started with the wizarding preschool to learn about the world he was stepping into and then when he turned 14 he started his first year proper.  Since then he has studied hard and done well for himself in the classroom and on the pitch.<br/><br/>Interesting Fact: Xavril has Heterochromia; he has one green eye and blue eye.<br/>Wand: Yew, Boggart Skin, regular<br/>Pet: Horned owl<br/><br/>Agility: 3 (Fly, Acrobatics)<br/>Athletics: 3<br/>Awareness: 3 (Notice)<br/>Cunning: 2<br/>Deception: 2<br/>Endurance: 3 (Fortitude)<br/>Fighting: 3 (Unarmed)<br/>Magic Expertise: 4 (Transfiguration)<br/>Magic Projection: 4 (Transfiguration)<br/>Marksmanship: 3<br/>Persuasion: 2<br/>Reflexes: 3 (Dodge)<br/>Status: 3<br/>Stealth: 2<br/>Will: 3<br/><br/>Classes:<br/>Majors: Arithmancy, Astronomy (3)<br/>Minors: Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes (3)<br/>Others: Potions, Herbology, Muggle Studies, History of Magic (3)<br/><br/>Qualities:<br/>Unarmed Combat<br/>Advanced Animagus (Athletics and Agility)<br/>Animagus: White Wolf<br/><br/>Drawbacks:<br/>Marked: Scar"

followed Nivek to learn from Veronica, and thus far they have learned well.  Like Veronica, they each run their own Combat Training area, where they each develop 8 junior warriors of their choice.  They fight more defensively, and in battle, each take one edge of the front line, ensuring they aren't flanked.<br/><strong>1 Magician (Bard):</strong> One of two dark elves among the heroic followers, she was drawn to Nivek directly, and like him, she has mastered the performing arts and used that mastery to bolster magical talent.  She is in charge of the auditorium, where she teaches and occasionally performs for guests.<br/><strong>1 Crusader (Cleric):</strong> Surprisingly, the only sun elf amongst the heroic followers.  He worships Deneir, the god of art, cartography, glyphs, images, knowledge, literature and scholars.  Even more surprisingly, he is one of the five front line fighters in Nivek's army, using his gifts from the protection domain to keep him safe.  He runs one of the two chapels, the one devoted to his god.  He was most opposed to allowing Lissandra's force to join them, but was swayed by the library she donated the money to build.<br/><strong>1 Sacred Shield (Paladin):</strong> The other dark elf, this man is a follower of Lathander, god of creativity, dawn, renewal, birth, athletics, spring, self-perfection, vitality and youth.  Also one of the five front line fighters.  He runs the other chapel, devoted to his god.  While he does not have his own training area, at times he is able to use Veronica's, as she is not always using it.<br/><strong>1 Wizard Transmuter:</strong> A moon elf from the end of Nivek's adventuring days, she was happy to follow him back to Syopiir and join the stronghold.  Along with Nivek, her magic aided the construction of the stronghold, and now she is she primary crafter of magic items.  The magic laboratory is her domain.<br/><strong>1 Sniper (Rogue):</strong> Also from Nivek's adventuring days, he was almost ready to retire before Nivek, rather odd for a wood elf.  Despite being a quite skilled marksman, he prefers the business end of things, and runs the stronghold itself, particularly the inn, smithies, and shops.<br/><strong>1 Warmage:</strong> A young moon elf with an amazing mind and potential, he runs the fourth combat training area, working with the few adepts he thinks worthy of molding into warmages.<br/></div></div>"

That call came to an end when his captain provoked R'lyeh and the other sea witches. His exotic looks caught the witches attention and he given to her as part of the spoils.

Unlike most familiars Bal-Sagoth is powerful enough to be a threat in his own right. Several years ago a great silver dragon vampire named Lashona fostered out a Wyrmling to Eisheth. The Vampire Wyrm, for several centuries, has been stealing away eggs and day old infants from good aligned silver dragons and fostering them out to worthy exemplars of evil. In time the population of evil silver dragons will rise greatly due to her depredations. <br/><br/>Dragons mental facilities mature rapidly, and Bal-Sagoth is easily a match for elves over ten times his age. His first homicide was against a celibate priest who he felt had insulted his mistress by not returning her flirtations. The elf was skinned, and his flesh made into a pair of enchanted bracers. The irony of a dragon wearing elf skin is not lost upon Eisheth and her familiar. Bal-Sagoth had lamented his limited ability to assume his favored elven form so the bracers were enchanted to allow him to maintain his form indefinably.  Even with his great intellect Bal-Sagoth intimidates even those loyal to Eisheth (Save Jerion who is too insane and powerful to care) because above all he is still just a angst ridden teenager with enough power to do things no adolescent ever should.

She had a grand total of about 3,000 troops that she needed to train and keep at top physical condition, despite her stronghold only holding about 500, alternating them every few days and making sure they were prepared for combat when the time came.<br/><br/>Between training, preparations, paper work, routine patrols, and anything else that required her attention, she barely ever had time to herself. Ever month or so she would take leave for town, leaving her Harold Mortin, in Charge. But even that was never for long.<br/><br/>She had been given the worst duty at the worst time, and things did not look good. She blamed her noble father, whom got himself into quiet the political scandal. Apparently he had been taking money from the treasury, accepting bribes, and other offenses that have landed him in a hot spot. While Miranda herself had no hand in it, and was serving the Military at the time away from all of it, she was sure his actions had put a bad name on the family, and when selecting someone too send off to there death, why not the daughter of the noble everyone hates now.<br/><br/>The Stronghold had been rather old, made up of wood, guards patrolling it at all times, guard houses scattered around it, armed with archers, Training areas for her soldiers, a Fully stocked Kitchen and Mess Hall, Armory, and a stable for the men to house there horses. Besides her soldiers she had various of servants whom served the Strongholds every need. She had also trusted her Harold with a group of individuals whom would be given orders that she, a noble Knight of the Court, should never give, if the time came.<br/><br/>That being said, she valued her Harold, Mortin. They both went back a long way, he being the Bastard son of some Noble her father knew, he worked for her father for most of his life, and, even if she does not admit this now, she absolutely loved his music.<br/><br/>He now serves as somewhat an unofficial 2nd in command, she trusting him more then she can anybody else. People one can trust are hard to find these days, with an attack probably coming any day. She sighed, walking the Stronghold."

I like the fact that she is very social and charismatic, however she sacrifices her studies and physical fitness to attend parties and whatnot. Parties are fun every then and again but we mustn't forget that Hogwarts is a school. Also, I get the feeling that whenever she looks at me, whether I'm alone studying or reading, or in a group, that she is silently judging me. Pah, must be my imagination. </div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Stevie ""Steve"" Arai</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The captain of our great Quidditch team. We met a year ago, in our third year, and it did not start off conventionally. We got into a heated fight for some dumb reason (I think it was right after we lost against Slytherin) and we shot spells at each other. Apparently, teachers don't like it when students shoot paralyzing curses at each other and stopped us, immediately placing us both in detention. I was in a bad mood, so I thought I would go through the punishment looking the opposite direction from her, but she initiated a conversation. I started defensively, but then softened when I got to understand her and we ended leaving the room as friends. I like her and I'm more friendly with her than most others and I find her advances very persuasive. She follows what she believes and doesn't listen to what others have to say, however, she does tend to cross the line in that respect sometimes. She does make light, though, of serious situations and there are times when that is useful, like whenever we are losing against another House and I get all tense she manages to defuse the situation with a corny joke or something of the sort and I just laugh. Quidditch training is rough, but I take it on the chin and keep pushing myself. She wants to be a professional player and so she takes this seriously, and I respect that. I've never thought about becoming a professional, but France is always looking for good Chasers, so that could be an option. I guess, you could call Stevie a love interest. Man, what is up with me and Japanese women?</div></div><br/>From the other houses<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Cameron Joyce</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Neutral.

At everything! All in all, he's a pretty decent guy. Though, I worry about his rivalry with Lucian. I feel like it's going to explode and backlash on the entire student body and they might have to close Hogwarts again. And if that happens, you can be sure that it won't open again and then it will be sold off to some business tycoon and made into a zoo or something! </div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Veronica Ravenshire</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">She's the older sister of my Quidditch partner, Katrina. She is very focused on her studies and excels at them as well. While I said I looked up to John... wait no I didn't! Erase that! Anyways, I look up to Veronica for her diligence towards school. I met her through Katrina and she is tutoring me in Divination. One thing that surprised me was that they were not put into the same House, which is weird for siblings. Another thing that surprised me is that Katrina and Veronica both have different hair and eye colors.

However, if I had to say one thing about her, I'd say that she is a keeper. Not the Quidditch position (even though she is one) but the kind of girl you take home to show to your parents. That's why I've gone slower with her than I would normally have. I didn't want to cheapen the thing we had to be just about sex. We met in the library and it was there that I rushed in like a white knight on a horse to save her from falling. We got to talking and something just... sparked, I guess. I've convinced her a few times to come with me into the Dark Forest, though one time she was attacked by a giant spider. Thank god I was near and was able to save her. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to her because of something I suggested. I'm always positive when I'm around her, like she just collects all my negativity and throws it away or turns it into positivity. I reserve special days for just me and her to eat lunch or go off somewhere. She is a great girl and I would not mind going farther with her.

For centuries, they have ruled, and for centuries, the city has never been attacked or experienced a famine or flood or drought, even with having no walls or proper defenses. They have been very benevolent rulers, keeping taxes low, having a festival every 2 or 3 weeks, and making the city a haven for debauchery and sin. (Just as long as the sin tax keeps flowing...)<br/><br/>All of which has nothing to do with you all. Being a merc group yourselves, you've stumbled into the city after a nasty affair with some asshole and his cult up north, setting fire to his head quarters and helping the local authorities do some classic witch hunting. Being handsomely rewarded for your troubles with the peasant murdering and witch burnings, and coming into Kaguya for a much needed vacation.<br/><br/>That was 3 months ago. You've found that through plenty of drinking and gambling and drinking and whoring and more drinking, that you're money supply is getting rather tight. Time to get out of retirement and get a job under your belt, as you've stumbled across a easy one that is paying a cool 3k gp.<br/><br/>Wandering down to the eastern warehouse district, you come across the meeting place and meet a fine gentlemen wearing fine silks and even finer shoes.<strong>""Ah yes, welcome welcome!

I cannot trust it to just any fumbling merchant and his ill equipped guards, oh no sir! <br/><br/>Such a professional group such as yourselves, this job should be easy for you, and it will pay handsomely once you bring the cargo to Hburln.""</strong><br/><br/>Shooing you all inside of the warehouse, which is stacked floor to ceiling with wines and barrels of wine and more wine. Also there, front and center, is a double horse wagon, already fitted with two strong horses, as workers load up the wagon with even more barrels and crates of wine bottles. It's enough to make the alcholics amongst you all weep in pure joy, as Sebastien keeps yammering on over how vital this cargo run is. When you do agree to do it, he has you sign all sorts of paperwork and insurance claims and other details, as the contract primises an additional 15,000 gold if you can make it to Hburln within 3 months. A strong horse and a crazy rider, on good weather, can make the trip in ten days, so laden with a wagon stuffed with wine could make it not barring anything stupid happening.<br/><br/>It is still up to your to buy food and other provisions for the trip, as the wagon is about 70% capacity filled with cargo.<br/><br/><br/>"

She walked in, and looked at the slightly undressed Aasimar, giving a slight smirk. ""oh, getting undressed for me now are you?"" she said obviously tipsy."

Before the drinking had begun in earnest, Irader had pulled out his 'campfire': a small bead in one of his pouches that became a campfire, which would last about eight hours. Of course, then there would be a sixteen hour wait before it could be used again, but still, they didn't need the fire for that long anyway. Irader had sat staring at the fire for a while when Sylvia had called it a night, but he agreed with Erika when she too decided it was time to give in to sleep, and stopped his campfire, picking up the bead and putting it back into his pouch.<br/><br/>When he stood up straight again, he noticed that Erika had actually made her way to Sylvia's tent, and heard the elf suggest that the aasimar had been getting undressed for her. Naturally, Irader went over to see what was happening, coming up next to Erika and chuckling a bit before speaking to the elf. ""I wonder whether or not you came over here on purpose,"" he said, looking into the tent at Sylvia."

ALso see the below comment for a related issue.<br/><br/>Overall Plant and Forest Theme: There are some fey do live and breathe untouched forested wilderness. The basic monster manual seems to only have this type of fey so I can see where people think there is a universal relation.  There are also numerous fey who don't give a shit or even actively hate trees and animals. Plenty come from oceans, the plane of shadow, stars, moonlight, humanoid sin, poison, pollution, the far realm, barren deers, arctic wastelands, metropolitan cities, fire (or any element), undeath, desire, and hatred. - The Seelie and Unseelie courts may look rather verdant but human cities would too if most humans could create life on whim and turn other species infants into objects, energy, and slaves.<br/><br/>You don't have to change any of the ""fey are druids"" thing the class has going on, but you could consider it.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Spell List: Flavorful. I was toying with such a thing myself when I was going to try and rework the class to present to you. My idea was to unallign the Fey domain from BOED and the Bestial domain from BOVD so that they are added to the spell list but without sacrifice/abstinence/drug/disease components. I especially like the spells from the Fey domain.<br/><br/>Fey Bond: More a clarification than a suggestion. The only effect it has for me (Improved familiar no arcane bond) is it changed my Tidepool Dragon familiar from Dragon type to Fey type?<br/><br/>Fey Concondant: It's straightforward enough but something makes it seem clunky. - I figured out what it was. Animals and Magical beasts aren't the universal allies of fey. Second, How many binding/calling spells do you know that summon fey? I have a big zero coming to mind. Summon natures Ally is the only one that qualifies for it and even that summon list doesn't have many options. Good thing they are added to the list.  - My suggestion. Drop the reference to animals and magical beasts (and potentially even the dc and cl boost) and..<br/>(Primary Suggestion) Add the planar binding chain to the spell list and allow said spells to also bind fey. Most fey have a lower hit dice to power level than outsiders anyway I think.<br/><br/>(Second Option) Add the extra summon options from wild soul to the classes Summon Nature Ally and Monster list. Id advocate dropping the Seelie/Unseelie split but thats your call.<br/><br/>(Final Option): Just make it a blanket +1 bonus to the planar binding and ally spells as they are and forget about any interaction with fey.<br/><br/>Last Question: The universal spirit magic stand in. When you use it (Beyond the Forest I believe its called) is casting ""Empowered Fireball"" a 4th or 5th level slot and is it one or two uses of the ability.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

(Or you could alternately just cut the domain access, as with other monsters with Cleric casting, but since the Lilitu's big gimmick is pretending to be a Cleric, I think keeping the domains around fits a little more.  It's also balanced out by the fact that it's only 9th-level casting, not 12th.)<br/><br/>Tada!  Pathfinderized Lilitu. ^^<br/><br/>Ah, and while I'm not expecting to get a free Leadership feat anymore, since I'm not playing a noble, the thought does occur to me that Kimera could also get the chance to play a demon if he were to play my cohort.  I could spend one of my regular feats on it, pick up that one Heroes of Battle feat that would let his maximum level be 11, rather than 10, and he could be, say, an Incubus with martial adept levels, or something like that.  I imagine he could take Crusader levels and make a pretty good fake Paladin to go along with my fake Priestess.<br/><br/>Edit: Oh, yes, and having been summoned and bound to serve Malkizid does bring up a good opportunity for introducing the character into the game.  Pale's stated that she wants her character to be fairly influential within Aryvandaar, and is presumably going to be ambitious and looking to increase that influence even further, so it could be that my Lilitu was sent over to Eisheth's court by Malkizid.  Supposedly, she'd have been sent as a gift, but in actuality her job would be to serve as the fallen Solar's eyes and ears in the court, helping him keep an eye on a potential rival.<br/><br/>I think that that makes for a good way to introduce all sorts of interesting plots. ^^"

He is out for himself, pure and simple. He sheds no tears for those he kills, whether for profit, sport, or convenience. He has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions, or codes would make him any better or more noble. On the other hand, he doesn�t have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has. Some neutral evil villains hold up evil as an ideal, committing evil for its own sake. Most often, such villains are devoted to evil deities or secret societies. Neutral evil is the best alignment you can be because you can advance yourself without regard for others. However, neutral evil can be a dangerous alignment because it represents pure evil without honor and without variation.<br/><br/><br/><u>Race:</u><br/><b>Humans</b> are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.<br/><br/><br/><u>Class:</u><br/><b>Bards</b> often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. A high Charisma score allows a bard to cast high-level spells.<br/><br/><br/>Find out &lt;a href='http://www.easydamus.com/character.html' (http://www.easydamus.com/character.html') target='mt'&gt;What Kind of Dungeons and Dragons Character Would You Be?[/url], courtesy of Easydamus &lt;a href='mailto:zybstrski@excite.com'&gt;(e-mail)[/url]<br/><br/></div></div>"

I had initially taken a feat that increased ""share spell"" range but I found out share spells works differently in pathfinder and I don't need it anymore.<br/><br/>For the level 12 feat I was thinking of Residual Magic (From complete mage) It's a really powerful and versatile tactical feat. I don't have any specific spell im taking it for but I'm sure it will prove itself to be useful often enough.  My other  idea is one of those feats like practical metamagic or metamagic school focus that reduce one feats slot modifier by one.<br/><br/>Metamagic feats..<br/><br/>Dazing Spell: If I'm going to cast a blast spell this is the way to do it.<br/><br/>Flash Frost Spell: I lied this is another way to do it. Increased damage and grease effect on my cold spells. At +1 spell level though it seems like I might as well just get a rod.<br/><br/>Persistent Spell (Pathfinder Version): Resistance is futile. Nice, but I think it's better for spontaneous casters who can use it when they know they need it, unlike me who could end up with a weak persistent spell in a high level slot and blow it on something trivial.<br/><br/>Chain Spell: This one is probably my favorite. It's less personal raw power than dazing spell but it has offense, defense, and utility applications. Thats why I love it.<br/><br/>Quicken: Just had to mention it.

You could call the PrC as 'Seductress' so you kill people with striptease which causes massive nose bleeds (you just need select one key performance which determines name of the class, divine harpist or such with perform:string reqs example).<br/><br/>Anyways game starts in next week once I complete my school project and I graduate."

If no other bard levels then it goes same as first level bard when taking first level in the class.

WIth the number of slots I have for that level next to it. I astrick what I memories (multiple times if necessary) and If it's metamagicked I make a note of that along with what slot its actually taking. When I use the spell i change the astrick to a X, until the next day when I erase the symbols and rememorize. Something like...<br/><br/><br/>Level 1 (3)<br/>Magic Missile *X<br/>Color Spray<br/>Grease<br/>Boom I fucked Your Boyfriend<br/>Enlarge Person **(Extended 2)<br/><br/>Level 2 (2)<br/>Web<br/>Rope Trick *<br/>Your Father Smells Like Elderberries<br/>Command Undead<br/><br/>(I cast a magic missile already and memorized a normal enlarge person and an extended enlarge person in a 2nd level slot)<br/><br/>For Cleric it would require writing and filtering through hundreds of spells every time. So My low tech solution is to just use the massive online spell list pathfinder has and write (and astrick) the spells in word pad as I memories them. Plus all my domain spells. Basically I'll only write them down as I need. Ones I've prepared in the past will still be written in the wordpad but I'll know they weren't prepared because no astrick.  It's low tech compared to big programs and spreadsheets but many of those have issues of their own."

died of disease and their two children gone through their gempuku.  Traveling in the mountains, he stumbled across the secret of the boar’s clan existence and agreed to remain there rather than return to dragon lands and eventualy retire to the brotherhood of Shinjei.  <br/><br/>   One reason for this was a maiden named Hitomi.  The daughter of the samurai family keeping him under house arrest, she stirred the passions of a young man in him.  He gave up on escape attempts to become a full citizen and sue for her hand.  <br/><br/>   They were married within two years of Keiji’s capture, and had three children.  <br/><br/>   Hitomi was gentle hearted and domestic.  She was also a dreamy sort who loved stories about the outside world.  She saw Keiji as a sort of mythical hero from a magical realm.  She shared these idealistic images with her children through bedtime stories.  <br/><br/>   Mirumoto Hitoshi was the first born.  He shared his father’s aptitude for dragon clan arts and his adventurous spirit.  Hitomi’s bedtime stories fanned flames of wonder in his spirit.  He grew up taking many of his parent’s best and worst traits.  Like Keiji, he was a dedicated warrior and talented swordsman easily inspired by feminine beauty.  Like Hitomi he was idealistic, fascinated with the magical aspects of the world.  He read pillow books and loved kabuki theater.  Even as an adult, he talks to animals as if they could understand him, and will not be surprised if they should answer.  (Justified, maybe.)  <br/><br/>   The second born was Mirumoto Kazumi.  A domestically inclined girl, she took well to being groomed for marriage.  <br/><br/>   The third daughter was Mirumoto Hikari.    Hikari is high spirited and hot blooded.  She is jealous of the attention her brother received from their father and believes she was a better suited candidate to inherit the Mirumoto school.  Unfortunately for her, family politics required that a child be sent to become a boar clan warrior and they did not believe that Hitomi would bare any more children.  <br/><br/>Keiji:  63 years old.<br/>Hitomi:  38 years old<br/>Hitoshi:  21 years old.  <br/>Kazumi: 19 years old  <br/>Hikrari: 17 years old.  <br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">20 Questions</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Question 1: What clan are you from?  <br/>   To honor my mother, and family, my father has pledged fealty to the Boar Clan.  However in honor of his ancient oaths, the secrets of Dragon Clan swordsmanship may only be passed to his direct descendants.   I will use htem in service to my clan, in accordance with the tenants of bushido, and in honor of the gods in heaven and the spirits here on earth.  <br/><br/>Question 2:  What family are you from?  <br/>   My father is a Mirumoto swordmaster.  I bare his name.  <br/><br/>Question 3: Profession:  I am a bushi.  <br/><br/>Question 4:  “I stand five feet and nine inches with a medium build and thick muscles.  My hair is thick and I keep it in a top knot.  In battle, I wear my father’s armor, green and gold.  In everyday life, I prefer a hakima and kimomo in dragon colors, a bit open in the chest, but my mon clearly states my allegiance.  <br/><br/>Question 5:  Primary Motivation:  Evil is a real thing in this world.  I wish to fight and destroy it.   (Preferably with a chance to write about it after, then read my book to adoring damsels.) <br/><br/>Question 6: Who do I trust most?  My parents.  <br/><br/>Question 7:  Strengths and weaknesses.  <br/>   I am regarded as a fine swordsman for my age, and I suppose that may be true.  I love the art, and train very hard, though some might not realize it because when the time comes to relax I have some bad habits.  (I don’t actually drink much sake, but that fine spirit is a convenient scapegoat when I overstep the lines.)  <br/><br/>Question 8:  Bushido<br/>   “My honor is my life.”  <br/><br/>Question 9:  <br/>   “The boar clan stands strong.  Demons cannot destroy them.  I will fight for them ‘til the day when their ancient enemies are done away with and they can retake their place in the world. “ <br/><br/>Question 10:  I am not married.  My parents have been making marriage negotiations but have yet to speak to me about it.  <br/>   When I was growing up, there was a little girl 4 valleys over, Tamori Ayame.  Like myself, she was from the dragon clan.  She has become a shugenja in Tamori tradition since, and I have drilled a few times to defend her on the field.  I wonder if it’s her?”  <br/>   (It is.)    <br/><br/>Question 11: Prejudices.  <br/>   Hitoshi’s idealism makes it a bit hard for him to deal with people who have fallen from the celestial order—especially Ronin.  Bushido is a righteous code, so how can those who have failed it be forgiven?  <br/>   Still, Mizuki—at least—is a righteous woman.  Perhaps I still have much to learn.  <br/><br/>Question 12:  Loyalty<br/>   “My father has my implicit trust.”  <br/><br/>Question 13:  Favorite Things:  <br/>   I love to feel my swords in my hands, cutting through the air or ringing against other blades.  I love the burn of fatigue, and look forwards to testing myself against a supernatural enemy.  <br/>   I love magic.  I love it when the spirits brush my world, even when it’s simply for a bit of mischief.  <br/>   I love to read.  Poetry is nice, but stories are better, the kind full of magic and love, blood and philosophy.  I love kabuki for the same reasons.  <br/><br/>Question 14: Mannerisms <br/><br/>Question 15:  Emotions:  <br/>   Hitoshi is usualy properly stoic, but more because it is romantic to be so.  <br/>   <br/>Question 16:  Subordinates: <br/><br/>Question 17: Description from parents: <br/><br/>Question 18: Ambitions<br/>   Wishes to battle supernatural evil.  <br/><br/>Question 19:  Religion<br/>   Tends to participate in rituals from every available tradition.  <br/><br/>Question 20: How will I die? <br/>   Spitting in Fu Leng’s eye.  <br/><br/></div></div><div

the other brothels.  Anyone with money is welcome, so young samurai rub elbows with merchants and prosperous commoners.  <br/>   The girl’s working here are all of negotiable virtue, but they’re

Across the low tables is a stage where the girls put on kabuki shows.   <br/><br/>   Madam Yuriko’s sponsor is Heichi Michio, an old captain with the daimyo’s ear.  <br/></div></div><div

a beautiful daughter who could sing like an angel.  To pay his debts and better the lot of the rest of his family, he sold her to Madam Yukino.  <br/><br/>   Aika adjusted quickly to her lot in life.  She showed aptitude for the stage and often plays an innocent young woman or damsel in distress.  Though not skilled at acrobatics like some of the girls, she dances gracefully and sings with wistful beauty.  <br/><br/>   When Hitoshi was a little younger, and more drunk that usual, he got himself into trouble—along with a hare clan friend—to make a profession of love to her.  She has since been one of his favorites at Yuriko’s.  He considers her a friend and will allow no harm to come to her.  <br/><br/>   Hitoshi is still oblivious to the fact that Aika is wildly in love with him and wants to become his concubine.  <br/><br/><strong>Miramoto Hikari</strong>:<br/>   Miramoto Keiji’s yongest daughter, Hikari is ambidextrous.  When she was a child, she looked longlingly out into the yard where Keiji drilled her older brother Hitoshi in Miramoto sword play.  She longed to learn the art herself. <br/><br/>   This was not Hikari’s destiny.  She was given to the warriors of the boar clan for training as a sign of loyalty from Keiji.  Even years later, Hikari is not pleased with this and resents her brother for it.  <br/><br/><strong>Umeko: </strong> <br/>   A young Geisha who rails against her place in the celestial order and has become a member of the Kolat.  She has seduced Hitoshi by listening to his stories and encouraging his writing.  <br/><br/>   Umeko is 5’5” tall with liquid black eyes.  <br/><br/>Matsu Mizuki<br/>   A woman in her thirties, Mizuki is an affable ronin with great skill at arms.  Her tolerance for sake is only surpassed by her love for the fine

WHAT CLAN DOES YOUR CHARACTER BELONG TO?<br/><br/>Since my great grandfather's time, we have pleged loyalty to the Boar clan. But we have still passed on the traditional teachings of the Dragon.<br/><br/>2. WHAT FAMILY DOES YOUR CHARACTER BELONG TO?<br/><br/>The Tamori.<br/><br/>3. IS YOUR CHARACTER A BUSHI, A SHUGENJA, OR A COURTIER?<br/><br/>I am a shugenja.<br/><br/>4. HOW WOULD OTHERS DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER’S APPEARANCE?<br/><br/>I stand at a mere five feet tall, with a slender, almost fragile build. My eyes are a deep blue, like sparkling sapphires, and I have long, raven black hair which I usually keep tied neatly in a ponytail. I usually wear a jade green kimono, cut low enough to display a fair portion of my C cup bust.<br/><br/>5. WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S PRIMARY MOTIVATION?<br/><br/>I would like to see the world outside of The Lair, and make some kind of positive mark on it. Maybe even travel back to ancestral Dragon lands at some point.<br/><br/>6. WHO IS THE PERSON YOUR CHARACTER TRUSTS MOST IN THE WORLD?<br/><br/>I trust my grandfather more than anyone. He taught my father everything he knows, and has been the root of our family here in the Lair since before my first memories.<br/><br/>7. WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S GREATEST STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS?<br/><br/>My greatest weakness is my small, almost frail stature, and my greatest strength is my force of presence, which I employ to influence both the kami and my fellow Rokugani.<br/><br/>8. WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER THINK OF BUSHIDO?<br/><br/>I admire greatly the courage of those who commit themselves to protection of others, and will in turn use what abilities I can to protect those under my care, as well.<br/><br/>9. WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S OPINION OF HER CLAN?<br/><br/>This is a complicated question for me. I was raised in fealty to the Boar, and respect this, yet... I know in my heart that I was born into the Dragon clan and in the end I still consider myself a Dragon.<br/><br/>10. IS YOUR CHARACTER MARRIED?<br/><br/>Not yet, although I know I have been promised to one of the Boar clansmen, another Dragon born, like myself. I'm not supposed to know who it is, but my grandfather told me it is Mirumoto Hitoshi, and then swore me to secrecy on the matter. I was relieved to find out it is someone I have drilled with and have found his company to be rather pleasant, not to mention his admirable skill and honor as a bushi.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Background</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Tamori Goro was a samurai, assigned to protect Kitsuke Fumiko, a shugenja of moderate ability. It wasn't her connection with the kami that fascinated Goro, however... it was her immense beauty. She thought well of him, as well, but they were both promised to marry other people, and thus any attraction they felt for each other could not be explored. That was, until they stumbled into Boar territory. They were captured and told in no uncertain terms that they would not be permitted to leave. Despite their consternations on the matter, this dark cloud had a very bright silver lining- they were finally free to pursue the romance they had always separately dreamed could blossom between them.<br/><br/>Kitsuke Fumiko's betrothed would perish never knowing what had become of her, but he would eventually find his way to Boar lands, and to Ayame, where he was taken by the resemblance to how her grandmother had looked. He has decided to stick around and watch this young shugenja, to exert what influence he can over her.<br/><br/>Miramoto Nobuo was also a samurai, sent to investigate the disappearance of a very well connected cousin of his. His investigation brought him too close to Boar lands, and he, too, was captured. He spent most of his waking moments trying to escape, that was until he met Heichi Mariko, the beautiful daughter of a local administrator. He was smitten with her and they would marry a few years later, but he never fully let go of his resentment at having been taken. He would never find his cousin, either, but he would find at least a measure of happiness through the sons that Mariko would bear for him.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Stats</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Tamori Ayame<br/><br/>60+8 -67<br/>Insight      150<br/>Insight Rank      2<br/><br/><br/>Air      2<br/>--Reflexes      2<br/>--Awareness      2<br/><br/>Earth      3<br/>--Stamina      3<br/>--Willpower      3<br/><br/>Fire      3<br/>--Agility      3<br/>--Intelligence   3<br/><br/>Water      2<br/>--Strength      2<br/>--Perception      2<br/><br/><br/>Void      3/3<br/><br/>*Athletics            2<br/>*Calligraphy         2   (Cipher)<br/>Courtier            1<br/>*Defense            2   <br/>Etiquette            1<br/>*Divination            2<br/>*Lore: Theology         2<br/>*Medicine            2<br/>Meditation            1<br/>Performer: Biwa (Agility)   1<br/>Performer: Song (awareness)   1<br/>*Spellcraft            3<br/><br/>Advantages:  <br/>BLISSFUL BETROTHAL [SOCIAL] (3 POINTS)<br/>Your marriage has been arranged and, much to your delight, you have come to truly love your intended spouse. The social connections you have established as part of your enthusiastic marriage preparations allow you to purchase the following Advantages for two points less each (to a minimum of 1 point): Gentry, Kharmic Tie (with your betrothed only), Social Position, and Wealth.<br/><br/>(2) WEALTHY [MATERIAL] (1 POINT/RANK) (Rank IV)<br/>Your branch of the family is particularly wealthy, and they have granted you additional resources in order to facilitate your fulfillment of your duty. For each point spent on this Advantage, you gain two additional koku, to be added to the amount in your School outfit. Crane, Unicorn, and Imperial characters may purchase this Advantage for 1 point less off its total cost.<br/><br/>Disadvantages:  <br/>HAUNTED [SPIRITUAL] (3 POINTS)<br/>One of your ancestors has chosen to bestow personal attention on you, constantly offering you advice and making demands.  Perhaps the ancestor merely wishes you to live up to the ideals of your Clan and family, or perhaps he has some unfinished task or duty which he wishes you to complete. You must show all due deference and respect to your ancestor, and do your best to live up to his (or her) expectations. If you fail to do so, your ancestor’s disapproval will bring bad fortune upon you: so long as your ancestor remains angry, once per session one of your die rolls (chosen by the GM) will suffer a –1k1 penalty.<br/><br/>SOFT-HEARTED [MENTAL] (2 POINTS)<br/>Human life is precious to you, so much so that you have difficulty executing the basic duty of the samurai caste: to kill. When faced with the opportunity to kill another human being, you must succeed at a Willpower Trait Roll (TN 20), or you are unable to do so. If you do kill another, the TNs of all your rolls are increased by +10 for one day as you are wracked with guilt. This penalty is not cumulative with multiple deaths. This Disadvantage could potentially also apply to killing nonhuman creatures or even Shadowlands monsters, although the Experience Point value should be increased in such cases.   <br/><br/>SMALL [PHYSICAL] (3 POINTS)<br/>You are noticeably smaller than average for a denizen of the Emerald Empire. As a result, your Water Ring is considered one rank lower for determining the distance of your Move Actions, and you suffer a penalty of -1k0 on the Damage Rolls of all your melee attacks. You may not take the Large <br/><br/>Spells:  <br/>SENSE<br/>c Ring/Mastery: All 1<br/>c Range: Personal<br/>c Area of Effect: 50’ radius from the caster<br/>c Duration: Instantaneous<br/>c Raises: Range (+10’)<br/>This spell can be cast in any of the four standard elements.  It allows the caster to sense the presence, quantity, and rough location of elemental spirits (not the evil spirits known as kansen) of that element within the range of the spell. This is most frequently applied when looking for spirits with which to Commune (see below), but can also be useful as a crude, basic location device. For example, a caster lost in the wilderness could cast Sense (Water) in hopes of locating a source of drinking water.<br/><br/>SUMMON<br/>c Ring/Mastery: All 1<br/>c Range: 30’<br/>c Area of Effect: 1 cubic foot of summoned material<br/>c Duration: Permanent<br/>c Raises: Range (+10’), quantity (+1 cubic foot), composition of material (1-4 Raises, as outlined below)<br/>This spell can be cast in any of the four standard elements.  It allows the caster to summon a modest quantity (one cubic foot) of the chosen element. The summoned matter appears (usually in a rough ball shape) in any open space within the spell’s range. This cannot place the summoned material inside another physical object or living creature. The summoned element will behave in a normal and mundane matter – earth falls to the ground, water soaks anything it lands on, air blows away, and fire winks out unless there is something present for it to burn. In general it is impossible to use this spell effectively in combat, although clever shugenja may find a few modest combat uses, such as using Summon (Fire) to ignite a foe soaked in cooking oil. More commonly, the spell’s value is in simpler functions, such as summoning Water while in a desert, or summoning Fire to light a campfire without flint and tinder.  Raises may be used with this spell to summon a more specific type of the appropriate element, such as wood or iron with Earth, or tea with Water. The GM should choose how many Raises (generally anywhere from 1 to 4) this requires. However, these Raises cannot be used to create rare/precious materials (such as gold) or spiritually powerful substances (such as jade or crystal).<br/><br/>COMMUNE<br/>c Ring/Mastery: All 1<br/>c Range: 20’<br/>c Area of Effect: Self<br/>c Duration: Concentration<br/>c Raises: See below<br/>This spell can be cast in any element save Void. It allows the caster to speak with one of the local elemental kami, asking it a few questions, which it will answer honestly to the best of its ability. Typically this spell will invoke the most active and energetic spirit of the chosen element in the area of effect; if all of the local spirits are quiescent, the GM may require the caster to call 1 or 2 Raises to “wake up” a local spirit enough to answer questions.  A spirit reached with Commune will answer two questions. The caster may Raise to get more questions (one per Raise). The caster may also Raise for clarity, to get a more accurate and informative answer to the questions. (Kami are notorious for their inability to fully comprehend human behavior, and asking questions without Raises for clarity can often result in confusing, enigmatic, or incomplete answers.) Spirits do not forget anything, so theoretically a shugenja can ask a spirit about something that happened decades ago; however, they also do not experience time in the same way as mortals, so trying to ask about something from long ago will usually require Raises in order to make the caster’s wishes clear to the spirit. The nature of the information which spirits can impart varies by element: <br/>   Air spirits tend to be playful and easily distracted, conveying information as emotions or as riddles and jokes. Since they are more interested in feelings than in facts, and enjoy playing games with those who speak with them, communing with an Air spirit can sometimes be very frustrating.<br/>   Earth spirits are straightforward and matter-of-fact, often blunt, but are also often rather uninterested in the behavior of mortals, have a poor understanding of human emotion, and tend to be overly focused on obscure details such as the color of a piece of clothing or the weight of a horse.<br/>   Fire spirits are irritable and temperamental, and are often angry at being summoned unless they are propitiated with an offering of something to burn. On the other hand, if a shugenja can please them they tend to offer the clearest and most accurate information.<br/>   Water spirits communicate their knowledge through soundless visual images. This can be very helpful to a shugenja trying to investigate a past incident, but since the spirits cannot convey scent, sound, or emotion, the information they provide can often be incomplete or misleading.<br/><br/><br/>Earth:  <br/>COURAGE OF THE SEVEN THUNDERS<br/>c Ring/Mastery: Earth 1 (Battle)<br/>c Range: 30’<br/>c Area of Effect: Targets up to caster’s Shugenja School<br/>Rank<br/>c Duration: 10 minutes<br/>c Raises: Duration (+1 minute), Targets (+1)<br/>This spell infuses the targets (who may include the caster) with firm and unyielding courage, bolstered by the eternal power of the Earth. For the duration of the spell, all the targets gain +5k0 to resist any kind of Fear effect, whether magical or natural. However, this spell is associated with the memory of the legendary Seven Thunders, and those whose connection to the Thunders is tenuous do not receive the same degree of blessing from the Earth kami. Samurai who are not of the original Seven Great Clans receive only +3k0 to their rolls to resist Fear. Anyone who has at least a full Rank of Shadowlands Taint cannot benefi t from this spell, although this will not actually reveal that they are Tainted.<br/>   This spell may be cast as a combined ritual by two or more shugenja who know the spell, in which case they may add their highest single Earth Rank to their combined total School Ranks to determine how many targets the spell can affect.<br/><br/>JADE STRIKE<br/>c Ring/Mastery: Earth 1 (Jade, Thunder)<br/>c Range: 100’<br/>c Area of Effect: One target<br/>c Duration: Instantaneous<br/>c Raises: Damage (+1k0), Range (+10’), Targets (+1 target, maximum of 5 total targets) <br/>   This spell summons forth the purest of Earth kami, those of jade, in the form of a blast of iridescent green energy. The jade power fl ies out and unerringly strikes the chosen target – it cannot be intercepted or defl ected, although Magic Resistance or other forms of magical defense can thwart it. If the target has at least one Rank of Taint, the Jade Strike will infl ict damage with a DR of 3k3, burning and blackening the Tainted flesh. However, a target who does not have at least a full Rank of Taint will not suffer any damage from the spell. Casting Jade Strike on a non-Tainted target is generally regarded as a grave insult – except perhaps among the more paranoid ranks of the Kuni family, where it is seen as merely a sensible precaution.<br/><br/>-- JUROJIN’S BALM<br/>c Ring/Mastery: Earth 1<br/>c Range: Touch<br/>c Area of Effect: One target<br/>c Duration: 1 hour<br/>c Raises: Duration (+1/2 hour), Targets (+1 per 2 Raises,<br/>maximum of 5 total targets)<br/>This spell fi lls the target’s body with the purity and vigor of<br/>Earth, driving out poisons and impurities. If the target suffers<br/>the effects of any poison or toxin within the duration of the<br/>spell, or is already under the effects of a poison when the spell<br/>targets him, he may re-roll any failed Stamina roll to resist<br/>the poison, with a bonus of +2k0 to the second roll. (However,<br/>if the second roll is also failed, the poison has full effect.)<br/>An interesting side-effect of this spell is that it also cures<br/>drunkenness and other such effects, and it is impossible for<br/>the target to become intoxicated during the spell’s duration.<br/>--<br/><br/>Fire<br/>BITING STEEL<br/>c Ring/Mastery: Fire 1 (Craft)<br/>c Range: Touch<br/>c Area of Effect: 1 bladed weapon<br/>c Duration: 1 minute<br/>c Raises: Duration (+1 minute)<br/>Fire spirits can infuse metal with their own fury, turning a sharp edge into a supremely perfect one. This spell enhances the damage of steel bladed weapons, such as swords, knives, naginata, etc. Biting Steel cannot affect weapons which are not metal blades, which are nemuranai, or which have already been enhanced by magical effects. The weapon’s DR is increased by 1k1 for the duration of the spell.<br/><br/>FURY OF OSANO-WO<br/>c Ring/Mastery: Fire 1 (Thunder)<br/>c Range: 300’<br/>c Area of Effect: One target<br/>c Duration: Instantaneous<br/>c Raises: Damage (+1k0 per two Raises)<br/>This spell is actually a prayer to the Fortune of Fire and Thunder, inviting his wrath upon your enemy. It can only be cast outdoors, and summons a bolt of lightning from the sky, striking the target for 5k2 Wounds. Everyone within 10’ of the target must make a Stamina roll versus a TN of 15 to avoid being deafened for 2 Rounds. If this spell is cast during a thunderstorm, the damage is increased to 6k2 for a moderate storm and 6k3 for a disastrous storm or hurricane.<br/><br/><br/>Water<br/>PATH TO INNER PEACE<br/>c Ring/Mastery: Water 1<br/>c Range: Touch<br/>c Area of Effect: One target individual<br/>c Duration: Instantaneous<br/>c Raises: None<br/>   The water kami can influence the flow of water through the body, dramatically hastening the natural healing process. You can use this spell to heal Wounds that another individual has suffered. This spell restores a number of Wounds to the target equal to the amount by which the Spell Casting Roll exceeded the spell’s TN to cast.<br/><br/>REVERSAL OF FORTUNES<br/>c Ring/Mastery: Water 1<br/>c Range: 10’<br/>c Area of Effect: One target individual<br/>c Duration: 3 rounds<br/>c Raises: Duration (+1 round), Range (+5’)<br/>   Versatility is the domain of water, and those who carry its blessing reap the rewards. For the duration of this spell, the target may immediately re-roll any one roll per round. This must be done immediately after the first roll is completed, and the target may keep either result.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Location</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Ai no Kosaten Bridge (Love's Crossing)<br/><br/>A gently arched wooden bridge, painted red on the sides and flanked by rows of cherry trees, it was built over a small river to facilitate the transport of material goods through the farmlands to the minor estates in Boar territory.

Travel had been far more difficult than normal and his father couldn’t help but be disdainful of the fact he felt he was being forced to suffer through the winter court with the Crab Clan, a fate that seemed to be tantamount to social torture. While parts of the story were indeed true, Doji Shiego's Father suffered from a strange reoccurring madness. He had tried his best to hide his malady, often sneaking off like a wraith to take patrols amongst the peasantry so his madness would be taken out on them. It seemed he was concealing his madness well enough at first. Though he felt guilty for the havoc he caused there was little he could do to stop it without asking someone for assistance and shaming himself. He prowled amongst the peasants and one night came upon another samurai whom was just leaving a tryst with a local peasant girl. In his madness he slayed the Samurai and the girl... and would come to discover that he had been seen. He was overcome with regret for what he had done and fled in the dark of the night, to get away from his pending execution. <br/><br/>In time, Doji Shiego’s father found The lair half frozen and half starved. They nursed him to health and politely told him he would be unable to leave which he accepted easily. He settled in, married, and was able to take control of the madness he endured on full moons to a degree that he believed himself to no longer be dangerous. He became heavily involved in the local court, gained control of the local rice production and an estate was erected befitting members of the Doji line. He soon came to believe the madness was gone from his family son, as he watched his son Shiego grow to manhood without a sign of the malady. Doji Shiego and his father never quite got along well. His Father in time, grew old and spiteful. He waited years to arrange a marriage for his son, and at the end of his time he committed one last act of spite. He arranged his son to a woman he would find absolutely intolerable, a well-trained short spoken Bushi woman. She became Doji Kohaku, and utterly hated him for it and all the implications around such a thing.<br/> <br/>Kohaku birthed their daughter, exactly nine months to the day after their wedding under the blessing of a unusually low hanging full moon Shiego immediately called the girl Tsukino which infuriated Kohaku that she was not consulted so badly that to this day it is rumored she has not spoken to Shiego since. While Kohaku kept up with her training, small hunting trips and missions intending the child to be raised by servants as she felt most noble children in Rokugan were supposed to be. Shiego took the girl and raised her as if he had no other purpose in life, he took her to court, he tutored her personally and molded the girl into everything he felt a Crane should be elegant, graceful, and well spoken. Unfortunately, Shiego found himself in trouble around his beloved child’s third year. Having spoken what most people would find an acceptable insult to a Representative of the wheat grower in the Lair Doji Shiego found himself poised to receive a knife in his back. As luck would have it Usagi Yasu had seen what was about to happening, putting Doji Shiego into a debt he would find very hard to repay.   <br/> <br/>As a child Tsukino was often just a few steps behind Usagi Jirou the son of the man whom had saved her father.. He protected her from bullies and was one of the few people she confided in. Shiego noticed her early descents into madness at the full moon with great alarm, and did everything he could to keep his daughters malady a secret. From practicing medication with her daily, drugging her so she could barely stand on the night of the full moon and outright tying her up when all else failed. She was a quiet but rather intense child who took well to her studies and often strained herself over composing the perfect Haiku or Letter long before it was her time to worry about such things in life.  She would continue this intensity towards her studies regardless of how important or menial they were her greatest joy becoming the game of letters, where even the slightest stroke of a brush on a single character could be a loving compliment or a vicious insult.<br/> <br/> Tuskino learned the arts of painting and tea ceremony, practices she would hold dear well into her life She invested herself deeply in the court, following closely in her father’s footsteps which irritated her mother to no end. She learned the laws of the land learning the subtlety and careful words of court that could hone anyone’s perception to a master level. <br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">20 Questions</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><em>1.   WHAT CLAN DOES YOUR CHARACTER BELONG TO?</em><br/>Crane<br/><em>2.   HOW WOULD OTHERS DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER’S APPEARANCE?</em><br/>Tsukino is small in frame, just barely under five feet in height and rather slender at that.

GREATEST WEAKNESS?</em><br/>Her greatest strength is her ability to persuade and put on a smiling face during the most trying of moments, her greatest weakness being obsession with absolute perfection which often slows her down and the fact she is not very physically strong at all. <br/><em>8.   WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER THINK OF BUSHIDO?</em><br/>It is an important set of guiding principles, though some of them are more applicable in the everyday life than others. <br/><em>9.   WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S OPINION OF HIS OWN CLAN?</em><br/>Tsukino wholeheartedly believes that every clan has their place as part of the natural order of things in Rokugan. The Crane were born to be at the top, not out of any superiority but of the need to facilitate interaction in Rokugan to make everything run far more smoothly<br/><em>10.   IS YOUR CHARACTER MARRIED?</em><br/>She has been been betrothed to Usagi Jirou. She will be fine with this once she actually finds out.<br/><em>11.   DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY PREJUDICES?</em><br/>Though she is loathe to admit it the physically deformed tend to put her on edge because she cannot help but assume there is some degree of shadowland taint there ev en if she knows that in most cases it is untrue. She has also been raised with a deep seeded mistrust of the Crab Clan, their constant rudeness and failure to follow protocol has to mean –something-<br/><em>12.   TO WHOM DOES YOUR CHARACTER OWE THE MOST LOYALTY?</em><br/>Beside the most obvious of answers, she owes her loyalty to her own father. <br/><em>13.   WHAT ARE YOUR CHARACTER’S FAVORITE AND LEAST FAVORITE THINGS?</em><br/>Tsukino loves to paint, admire nature and perform the tea ceremony while she absolutely hates the Shamisen, and has decided to conquer it solely out of resentment of exactly how bad she is at it. <br/><em>14.   DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY RECURRING MANNERISMS?</em><br/>She is a fairly hard person to read, and tries her best to keep unconscious mannerisms to a bare minimum. When she was young she used to fiddle with the sleeves of her Kimono when she was nervous or bored and still does so in a very subtle way. She also tends to balance her fan between her fingers and wiggle it back and forth between them when she believes no one is looking at her. <br/><em>15.   WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER’S EMOTIONS?</em><br/>Tsukino has a very tight grip on her emotions, she is often stoic and quiet though when she speaks she speaks decisively. In private she is fond of laughing, despite not often getting the chance to do such which is likely why she is so fond of Usagi Jirou.<br/><em>16.   HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER HANDLE A SUBORDINATE’S IMPROPER BEHAVIOR?</em><br/>If it is one of her own   she will quietly pull said servant aside and remind them that they represent the Doji family even if they were not born into it and that embarrassing the Doji line does not only hurt her, it hurts the servant themself. If not one of her own she would not mention it seeing as it is not her place to reprimand another’s servants, nor is it at all polite to bring up such a transgression. <br/><em>17.   HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER’S PARENTS DESCRIBE HIM?</em><br/>She is the apple of her father’s eye and he has nothing but praise to languish on his only child. Her mother still holds her daughter in good regard, though she regrets the girl did not undertake more martial training. <br/><em>18.   WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S HIGHEST AMBITION?</em><br/>To join the Emperor at his winter court even if such a thing is out of the realm of the village she has never left and isn’t sure she’d ever have the chance to leave. <br/><em>19.   HOW RELIGIOUS IS YOUR CHARACTER?</em><br/>Tsukino believes in the spirits influence over the mortal world deeply and the Fortunes are not to be ignored and shun. Proper respect must be paid. <br/><em>20. HOW WILL YOUR CHARACTER DIE</em><br/>If, Tsukino had any word in the matter, it would be as an old woman who had outlived all of her detractors laying smug in her comfortable mansion at last feeling victorious for a life well lived. <br/>She likely will die with a knife in her back or poison in her tea. <br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Locations</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Rice Paddy Estate</strong><br/>The estate was taken as Doji property not long after Doji Shiego’s father had acquired the rice fields, and set them to work at a much more efficient pace. This allowed the Village to have more food available to them during the fertile months. The Estate is large enough that Doji Shiego and his wife sparsley have to meet eyes for anything other than the nightly family dinners which are conducted in complete silence at a long table, with Shiego on one end, Kohaku on the other, and Tsukino usually sitting somewhere in the middle and usally being the only one to even attempt to speak. There is a small tea garden in the courtyard, a few private baths and saunas scattered through the lavish estate. Some of the best views from the estate offer a sweeping glance at the understated beauty of the rice paddies which Tsukino often uses as a point of contemplation.  <br/>The Servants are not normally very big on disgracing their benevolent masters but every once in a while one will let a secret Slide. Mostly the occasional tale of the most awful shamisen playing in Rokugan emanating from Tsukino’s bedroom.  <br/><br/><strong>Tasogare Onsen</strong> <br/>An Onsen set into the mountains just outside of town. The price for such an establishment is lower than one would normally expect in Rokugan, which is not surprising due to the remote location. It offers a multitude of different baths with various infusions and even a few natural rock bottom springs, some co-ed and others not. It always seems to be a little bit dark inside, and there always seems to a pervasive feeling that someone might be listening to you. <br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> NPCs</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Doji Shiego</strong><br/>A tall and slender man with unnaturally white hair and wholly delicate features that harken back to the Lady Doji herself with a means of carrying himself that would do nothing short of honor her appropriately. His father had come to own the Rice Paddies when he was a young man whom had just completed his Gempakku and it was handed down to him when his father passed away. He has spent the last few years carefully hand tutoring and training his daughter into what he feels will be the perfect Courtier.  <br/><br/><strong>Bayushi Hikari</strong><br/>A short but hawk faced Scorpion clan woman who runs the local Onsen. She remains all smiles while customers are in the baths. After all, relaxation breeds lose lips. It is very rare that anything will come of the the information she acquires from her staff at the Onsen, but every once in a while someone will find themselves being blackmailed anonymously with their memory of even admitting to their wrong doing dulled by a night of warm sake and hot baths. <br/><br/><strong>Minoru</strong><br/>He regrets his birth into the peasant class and absolutely insists to himself that the man who raised him, is not truly his father and rather believes his true linage to be from one of the noble Samurai. He works on Rice Paddies, while he secretly plots and plans to get himself a Wakazashi which he believes is all he needs to become a Samurai. Minoru is a thickly built youth, from muscular but simple stock. His nose is slightly offset from a fistfight he was in as a child where he had his nose broken. <br/><br/><strong>Noriko</strong><br/>Noriko considered herself to be very lucky to have gotten herself employed at the Doji Estate. Both of her parents work out in the rice paddies but Noriko was chosen to be one of Doji Tsukino's servants. She considers herself to be madly in love with her Mistress and is starting to harbor a resentment towards her attention and newly announced Nuptial to Usagi Jirou.

Stumbling upon The Lair and given the polite ultimatum to remain in the Boar lands the contingent of samurai convened near a small village and set up a camp to discuss what they would do knowing that to leave meant a fight but to stay meant potentially dissolving everything they ever were.  Usagi Eiji left the camp in the middle of the night to collect supplies for what he was sure would be an escape attempt but when he returned the camp was empty and his comrades not to be found. Food remained half eaten in well worn rice bowls and supplies were as untouched as before he had left. The next morning the enraged and last Hare Clan bushi breached etiquette by demanding an audience with the Boar Clan magistrate and making a scene. As one could expect, whether true or feigned, The Magistrate who had given them that very ultimatum professed to have no knowledge of where Eiji’s Clan members had been ‘spirited away’ to and served to do little but anger him further until he stormed out of the village and back to his camp even after it was pledged that they would be searched for high and low. <br/><br/>Contemplating a valiant last stand to join his comrades whom he believed to be dead, killed no doubt for having spoken so openly about leaving, Usagi Eiji meditated to quell his rage next to the camp fire by the roadside outside of town. When his eyes next opened he would be surprised to find the smiling face and soft eyes of one Suzume Hirumi. Through a shared meal and her conversation skills she finagled out of the disgruntled Bushi his plans for giving his fate over to the fortunes and charging against his captors to be free from this ‘trap’ he felt caught in. Sympathetic to his plight, She began to tell a story going long into the night until sleep had almost taken her host. Promising to finish the next evening if he found himself needing more time to plan his escape a routine soon formed that lasted several months of night after night of returning to Usagi Eiji’s camp and keeping him there just one more night. Soon stories turned to matters best left unspoken and at the end of the fourth month he was petitioning her father for a marriage. <br/><br/>Building a home for them with his own two hands as proof that he was serious in his commitment to Hirumi, Her father eventually allowed it upon the completion of the modest house built upon the spot of the original campfire to shelter his bride and her servants. Her Heimen servants brought their children and took to cooking in the iron pot, which remained in its original spot since the formation of the camp. As years passed, the servants grew better and better at stretching their wheat supplies by rolling noodles. By then the Hare and Sparrow had given birth to their first child, Usagi Yasu. With the growing families of Heimen in service to the two samurai a surplus of wheat was grown each year which travelers on the road between the villages were sold first for a little extra help around the house and then for physical coin. <br/><br/>The thuggish enforcers of a merchant family which grew and sold wheat under the patronage of a reclusive Kaiu architect began to take an unnecessary interest in the noodle house near the time of Yasu’s gempuku and it was, in fact, one of his first acts as a man to negotiate giving up the rights to grow wheat near their home in exchange for a fair trade deal to keep them supplied enough for their household and their growing business.  Usagi Yasu took after his mother in being very benevolent over the peasants in service to his family and was never afraid to jump right into the kitchen and roll out the next days noodles should one of them grow sick or unable to work. Even when training in the Hare clan techniques passed down from his father his mind was often on the shop he thought of as both haven and home. He held less disdain for his Boar Clan ‘captors’ than his father did and when forced out into the main villages and towns was always a joy to meet his neighbors and offer them a seat in his family restaurant and a bowl of noodles to restore their vigor and was likely how he found so many secret romances and eventually his own affectionate wife. <br/><br/>On one such day in The Lair near the Magistrates court he ‘accidentally’ stumbled in between Doji Shiego, a landholder of rice paddies, and one of the more vicious underlings of the Wheat Growers. Having taken insult, the hired ronin had begun to draw his sword as the Doji turned his back and without thinking Yasu stepped in between the two Samurai and took the blow meant for the Crane. It lost him his sword arm, ingratiated himself to the crane, and saved face with the wheat growers enough that the Kaiu rewarded the family with a professionally crafted extension to their house, now with an enclosed dining area and enough room to fit more than a handful of more and more prosperity was most certainly assured. Yasu survived but with the loss of his sword arm it was impossible to remain a samurai and he was forced to retire and focused upon having an heir. Having precious little other to do than roll noodles and make love to his wife, It was little wonder that Usagi Jirou was the second child of what would be a total of Eleven. His mother was a robust boar woman but passed on shortly after the fifth birthday of her youngest child. <br/><br/>Jirou was a child of the wind and much like his grand father hated being kept still for too long and quickly made acquaintances and liaisons (some less platonic than others) from all four corners of the Boar lands until his father beckoned him back home from his failing health. This proved fortuitous for soon after an attack by bandits and taking up arms with his frequent customer and friend Mirumoto Hitoshi and one Matsu Mizuki, Jirou was chosen to take up his father’s sword. Now as head of the family Jirou has only recently been informed of his father’s negotiations with the Doji who’se life he saved some fifteen odd years ago to a girl he’d grown up along side, Doji Tsukino. Having seen this girl more like a sister than any kind of wife, he was certain she must think the same even if he had been harboring a crush for longer than he could remember.  </div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">20 Questions</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>1.   WHAT CLAN DOES YOUR CHARACTER BELONG TO?</strong><br/>The Hare Clan!<br/><strong>2.   HOW WOULD OTHERS DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER’SAPPEARANCE?</strong><br/>Of a little taller than average height, His hair is long and tinted brown in places from sun exposure amongst the black. Jirou also isn’t the most well groomed member of The Lair. The scruffy hair cut kept up in a less than elaborate top-knot matches his stubbly face and mustache. Despite being somewhat unkempt and friendly to Samurai and Heimen both, his features are sharp from good breeding and the farmers can still tell from the angle of his jaw and nose that he is not one of them.<br/><strong>3.   IS YOUR CHARACTER A BUSHI, SHUGENJA, MONK, OR COURTIER?</strong><br/>Bushi, and proud to carry the title.<br/><strong>4.   WHAT FAMILY DOES YOUR CHARACTER BELONG TO?</strong><br/>Usagi, the traditional masters of the Hare Clan<br/><strong>5.   WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S MAIN MOTIVATION?</strong><br/>. To watch over those of lower station, and see that happiness is found in the simplicity of daily life or quiet moments of reprieve from matters…not so simple.<br/><strong>6.   WHO IS THE PERSON YOUR CHARACTER TRUSTS MOST?</strong><br/>Usagi Yasu, Jirou’s father and the man he admires the most<br/><strong>7.   WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S GREATEST STRENGTH? GREATEST WEAKNESS?</strong><br/>His strength comes from his inner being and near limitless optimism. No matter how many times he failed in life, he has been encouraged always to make amends and do better the next time. His weakness is having never truly gotten to know his mother and in that having a strong desire to be looked well upon by women leading to brash and increasingly more daring behavior for acknowledgement not the most becoming of a Samurai. Though not a Womanizer, he does tend to be shied in the presence of Samurai-ko.<br/><strong>8.   WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER THINK OF BUSHIDO?</strong><br/>A code of conduct that to live in its essence will bring happiness through it’s simplicity of spirit. Simplicity is not always easy.<br/><strong>9.   WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S OPINION OF HIS OWN CLAN?</strong><br/>Fast and Strong, always willing to help those that need it and seek out wrong doers and bring them the punishment of both Emperor and Amaterasu<br/><strong>10.   IS YOUR CHARACTER MARRIED?</strong><br/>He has been recently betrothed but has only just been informed of the woman he has been set to marry: His childhood friend and Polar opposite Doji Tsukino<br/><strong>11.   DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY PREJUDICES?</strong><br/>Jirou is very unforgiving of the outlook of ‘life is cheap’ and those who treat others shamefully earn his Eire. Even an Eta has his place in the celestial order and to treat them with unnecessary cruelty is a sign of a cruel soul.<br/><strong>12.   TO WHOM DOES YOUR CHARACTER OWE THE MOST LOYALTY?</strong><br/>The Lair’s headman, seeing him as the local lord for whom he serves while living in his village until the one day it is safe to journey back to the ancestral Hare Clan holdings. <br/><strong>13.   WHAT ARE YOUR CHARACTER’S FAVORITE AND LEAST FAVORITE THINGS?</strong><br/>Usagi Jirou has an affection for games, be they chance or strategy and when around his other eleven siblings can usually be seen coming up with new ones or partaking in classic ones with his younger brothers and sisters to keep them entertained and smiling. Jirou is not fond of Spiders, and is in fact, terrified of them but will not outwardly show it if he can avoid it. One of the first games he taught his younger brothers was to put Kabuto shaped noodle bowls on their heads and ‘reenact’ The Battle of the Creeping Kumo (an entirely made up story) by clubbing the nearest spider in the room with the abundant amount of rolling-pins around the housing portion of the noodle shop.<br/><strong>14.   DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY RECURRING MANNERISMS?</strong><br/>Jirou is quick and alert and tends to run everywhere he is suppose to be, or at the very least pace himself at a quick jog. When walking slower than that, be it for conversation or otherwise, he tends to shift his weight around and fidget where calmer samurai might stand stoically. <br/><strong>15.   WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER’S EMOTIONS?</strong><br/>Very rarely without a smile, He attempts to remain positive even when a situation looks bleak. When truly melancholy he still keeps a smile upon his face but is not quite so talkative. Slow to anger and fast to forgive, he is just as quick to love as he is slow to despise.<br/><strong>16.   HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER HANDLE A SUBORDINATE’S IMPROPER BEHAVIOR?</strong><br/>If it began to cause a scene a quick bop to the head with a fan and a few quiet words to speak later would suffice but a more subtle infraction of acceptable behavior would be handled on a quick jog around the town in the morning and a discussion while resting to refresh with water or eat breakfast.  <br/><strong>17.   HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER’S PARENTS DESCRIBE HIM?</strong><br/>His Father would describe him as a hyperactive and noble minded son who will likely get himself into more trouble from meddling into the troubles of others more often than not. His Mother would describe him as a shining example of the stories she used to tell him before she passed away.<br/><strong>18.   WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S HIGHEST AMBITION?</strong><br/>To sire a large family, Love them dearly, Take part in at least one great act of selflessness so that they’ll always remember him in their mothers stories about him, and increase his station enough to ensure they are cared for long enough to grow into virtuous men and women.<br/><strong>19.   HOW RELIGIOUS IS YOUR CHARACTER?</strong><br/>Not as much as he should be, but more than just observing the holy days. Does not pray often and when he does it is twice as much in thanks than asking for assistance or a blessing.<br/><strong>20.   HOW WILL YOUR CHARACTER DIE</strong><br/>Smiling<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Locations</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://i.imgur.com/cPdKtpp.jpg) <br/><strong>Futotteru Tamanegi Soba (Fat Onion Buckwheat Noodle)</strong><br/><br/>Expanding within only the last few years, this popular roadside noodle shop has made a name for itself from the ground up. Referred to colloquially as 'Futotama,' the establishment has grown from little more than a temporary campsite to a thriving business. Its modest décor upon the outside belays its openly displayed Hare clan heritage along the inside with paintings of forest or moonlight prancing rabbit spirits and subtle clan mons. Broken into four sections the building is first large enough to support it’s patron Usagi Yasu and his eleven children and the few small vassal families that have served loyally under the clan samurai’s protection since the marriage of his ancestor Usagi Eiji and Suzume Hirumi and even the sizable living quarters are often times bordering on cramped for the sheer size of the families inhabiting it. <br/><br/>The kitchen is the oldest portion of the shop and it is local folk lore that the large iron pot in the center of it is the original from the Hare clan camp the area is founded on. Such is nonsense however as no quick moving small force of Samurai would have been lugging around such a large piece of cooking ware but one armed Yasu has yet to correct anyone who has spoken the rumor in front of him. The side of the building connected to the kitchen is open air and consists of one long bar to sit at, still happily serving hungry travelers, monks, and peasants just as the first incarnation of the shop had as an extension of the single room house built by Yasu’s father. The Interior room with low tables and all the finery is the newest addition and came at the price of Yasu’s right arm. It now caters to the samurai caste who are either curious of the shops reputation or those with higher status whom simply feel the need to separate themselves from the heimen whom are essentially eating the same food minus the more expensive ingredients to cater to the gentries taste. <br/><br/>Usagi Jirou is often sequestered in the main room keeping an eye on the samurai that get rowdy during fresh sake season and his smile remains firmly planted on his face that he has only once had to draw his fathers sword rather than expelling drunken men from the premises with his well practiced Jiujitsu. An oddly timed bandit raid caught him in the midst of a conversation with his dear friend Miramoto Hitoshi and a Matsu woman named Mizuki brought out his steel and to this day he regrets having spilt blood upon his ancestors house. While it was family tradition that three of the siblings work in the noodle shop in shifts once a week, Jirou has spent a little more time lately rolling noodles with his fathers failing health. Yasu, of course, denies he has lost any of his youthful vigor at all and more than one of the young hostesses go home at night with a pinch mark under the seat of her kimono. <br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">NPCs</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Kaiu Noburu</strong><br/><br/>Noburu is an elderly man of graying hair and a few missing teeth who has lived in The Lair almost forty years. Upon his twentieth birthday, having politely told his father “I think I shall go for a walk today” after being told of his future bride, his holding in the crab clan would never see him again. Finding the The Lair to be of the utmost convenience in escaping what he in times of candidness jokingly referred to ‘a fate worse than death’ it was not long at all before he had entirely ingratiated himself toward the local lords and offered his services as an architect and civil engineer not only increasing the quality of the surrounding townships but strengthening the nearby mines. Investing his monetary gains specifically from the designs for his city projects he took early on to hiring many of the most brutish clanless Samurai. Not only did this keep them out of trouble with the local Yoriki and Magistrates it also decreased criminal activity if only from the ronin no longer being there to commit it. It also served as a backbone for enforcement of his own ulterior motifs. One by one he began to claim stewardship over wheat farms through guile and muscle until very few suppliers if any did not have at least some of his ‘quality’ flour. Growing in status so quickly has its complications however and soon many of his movements behind the scenes became hindered in court by what would become his chief rival Doji Shiego. Playing the part of a kindly old man with the honor of an aging samurai, it is all a mask hiding the greed of a man who is now little better than the chief of his own personal Yakuza. When one of his best enforcers almost lost him face at court when he attempted to strike down Shiego for his insults one of his better customers, Usagi Yasu, stepped in front and once the bleeding had been treated and his health improved feigned ignorance as to what he had actually done. This intrigued Noburu enough to draw up designs for a new civic project upon the Magistrates table the next evening, building the roadside noodle shop into a full service restaurant with enough comfort to cater to samurai as well as passing heimin. The Koku to fund such a project wrapped up right on top of the plans was a generous gift, but as many who have done business with him before know nothing is free when Kaiu Noburu is involved.<br/><br/><strong>Kakita Susumu</strong><br/><br/>While legends and folk lore of blind swordsmen are popular amongst the farmers and peasant families likely derived from the almost magical way a samurai could strike down his enemies seemingly without even looking at them…the reality was somewhat more tinted with bitterness and regret. Kakita Susumu was a young and promising bushi and dedicated to the art of the sword. He stood tall but was thin of the wrist and often compared to a river reed by his fellow students. Agile, flexible, and of dyed white hair like many other of his clan, Susumu’s weaker constitution was only whispered about by gossips and rumormongers when he would go missing from the dojo for a few days. Still, while he was never the top student he was always amongst the top of the class, often helping instruct the slower or younger members of the sword school when the Sensei was busy and he was happy to take the role of Sempai. He found peace in teaching, helping others to achieve perfection just as he worked to achieve it as well. Things changed a few years after he completed his gempuku. The world began to grow dim. Colors did not quite seem as vibrant and the paintings his mother practiced at every day did not seem as lively. It was another year or so before anyone even began to notice that he was having trouble seeing. His life had been one long pursuit of perfection. His meditation and sense of another student’s stance kept him just as dangerous a swordsman. Even walking inside the dojo and completing his daily tasks were done by rote, not sight. He knew how many steps it was to each and every position in the school and even how his opponents may attack just by the sound their feet made. It wasn’t until leaving the Dojo one day when Susumu stumbled upon a wooden sandal out of place along the entrance way that they took notice. He walked right into it without the least bit of distraction. When the town physician privately informed his sensei and parents of their child’s blindness the reaction was…negative. While he will never speak in full details, Susumu has referred to himself as a former Kakita swordsman who came to wander the mountains in his final days. It is easy to assume his family exile, erased entirely as a shame on his family and struck blind for some unseen crime against the kami, a bad seed, an ill omen. The Lair quite literally saved his life when a patrol of Boar Clan Samurai found him starving and half frozen to death on the outskirts of a village. Sponsoring his return to health, Doji Sheigo appointed him as his daughters personal tutor in the higher mental arts such as philosophy and poetry, the double edge of a calligraphy brush his new blade for which he infrequently uses to pass secret affirmations of love to Doji Sheigo’s neglected wife when his sponsor and his daughter are not paying attention.<br/><br/><strong>The Usagi Swarm</strong><br/><br/>Usagi Yasu and his departed Boar Clan wife Chiyoko were no strangers to the difficulty of raising children. Having given birth to a total of five girls and seven boys, responsibilities came at early ages and Yasu imposed much of his Samurai backed structure upon the siblings, designating some of the eldest to watch over two to three of their other siblings at a time. In public, the children are almost never seen alone and indeed to find only one has been the harbinger to pranks played on the distracted passerby. While all of the children have their own names few in the local village have had a chance to memorize them all and even when shouted at in the aforementioned smaller groups they tend to be running wildly in the opposite direction and rarely are singled out in the eyes of anyone other than Yasu. The children in almost all shapes and sizes with a myriad of different clothes that are often shared making them even more difficult to identify outside of the family.  In larger numbers they are inquisitive and like their older brother Jirou, are filled with laughter, smiles, and mischief and while at times can annoy the local villagers they are quick to apologize for any real harm done. Having very little reverence for personal space even in the much larger building they all now call home, it is a testament to their patron’s sense of personal honor and duty that not one of them has taken to pick-pocketing choosing instead to accost for stories or sweets from cornered passersby. <br/><br/><strong>Ichiro Ken’Ichi</strong><br/><br/>It is a rare occurrence that Ichiro Ken’Ichi actively knows where he is. Having the habit of thinking too long and too hard while walking often leads him into the middle of no-where or even more often from one town to a completely different town without him realizing it. It was for this very reason that he found himself in The Lair and in the most fortuitous of situations. The collapse of a shaft from a mine late on its ‘inspection taxes’ snapped the Badger Clan samurai out of his reverie and into action without so much as a second thought. With a small army of miners he dug, dug, and dug more into the rubble pulling out rocks and boulders half the size of men with his bare hands. When the miners trapped inside were reached the source of the collapse was found to be a broken support beam. Having had time to contemplate the situation while digging he set his back up against the support and pushed with all his might to keep the hole the digging crew had opened long enough to evacuate those that had not been crushed to death. When the shaft collapsed again Ichiro was nowhere to be found and only when the dust began to settle did he pull himself out of the rubble. Surrounding him and showering him with praise of his strength and thoughtless valor did little else than embarrass the short-tempered Badger. Turning red in the face he flung the nearest miner into a nearby pool of drinking water and shouted “Please forgive me for meddling!” Too much in shock to respond the rest of the miners watched as he speeded himself back toward The Lair. Given the honorary title of Yoriki, a deputy to the Magistrate and protector of the lands Ken’Ichi accepted this new role in his life as a Samurai with belligerent gratitude. Often found moping in a corner of the noodle shop of Usagi Jirou, It is obvious that he laments an unrequited love of someone in the village to which his poor poetry skills and large hands better suited to punching holes in mountains than artistry have been unable to catch the attentions of. More likely, he has more than once accidentally crushed a calligraphy brush trying to compose for the woman of his dreams. Ken’Ichi is a large Rokugani standing almost six feet tall with the broad shoulders to match with whiskers and eyebrows bristled to give his face an almost perpetual angry expression, which he thinks suits him just fine even if he secretly practices flower arrangement in his own home in further hopes of catching his most unlikely loves eyes. The Nodachi carried over his shoulder serves only to add to that image. <br/></div></div>"

The only reason why humanity is still around is the re-discovery of wards, magical markings that can block the physical passage of the demons, making safe havens for what remained of humanity when the demons came back from The Core 330 years ago.<br/><br/>What remains is a collection of free cities, governed by Dukes who rule as Kings. One such city, and where you are all currently residing, is Fort Miln. Fort Miln is the areas primary producer of coal, ore, and salt for the other free cities, but due to being so far north and settled in the mountains, the soil cannot handle the crop output needed to feed the 30,000 residents. As such, trade is vital for the cities survival, along with hamlet towns scattered across the plains in the south that supply food and supplies in exchange for salt for food preservation.<br/><br/>Which is all besides the point, since the Duke of this lovely mining town takes it upon himself to charter a expedition into the wild west, to determine if there is anything left of civilization after 300 years of demon attacks. Which is where you all come in, the pack of suicidal assholes who are drawn by the hefty hefty reward money for any discovery, and all you have to do is travel hundreds of miles through demon infested land to find something maybe.<br/><br/>So after extensive interviews and back ground checks and fees being paid, you are given the task by one of the Duke's lesser nobility, being far too important himself to bother giving you any details. The minor noble takes his seat at the meeting room set up in the palace and gets down to business.<strong>""Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am Sir Melbar, third cousin and 7th in line for the Throne. I have been tasked by the Duke himself to fund a expedition into the west and have chosen you all for the task. <br/><br/>As you are very well aware, outside of this city, the demons rule the land at night. Which should not be a problem for the warder in the group and as long as you are properly stocked. Those petty details I will leave to your professional digression, as a number of you should have experience traveling between cities and know of the dangers better than myself. <br/><br/>A fund of 500 gold pieces is to be given for you to use for provisions and buying a wagon and horses and what else is needed. Those details are you to you to decide, as here is also a official warrant that compels any business in the city to provide for your trip at cost and as quickly as needed. Thus, you should be able to leave as quickly as possible, as the Duke will not appreciate it if you dally. <br/><br/>When/if you return with vital news of any ruins or civilizations outside already scouted area, you shall be reward handsomely, with nobility status granted and stipends and land ownership. Priority should be given in finding any of the coveted attack wards, as each new ward discovered and brought back will bring you additional rewards.<br/><br/>Any questions?""</strong>"

The real reward would be the people saved by the rewards, more lives that might one day see a world freed from the corelings.

That night his mother stuck him into their bolt hole and left him inside. His next sight was in the morning when the corelings were driven away by the harsh light of the sun. A home bathed in blood and destruction, merely ten years hold he buried what was left of his family, nursing a dark anger within him. He trained and learned their ways, learning the art of mounted warfare, bows and blades alike. Knowing that creatures always returned Galen vowed that these horrors must be stopped, though he knew not how. Paying close attention to the natural world, he picked up many things, how to hide, how to strike from ambush, and quickly learning that speed and well kept wards is the only defense against the corelings. Determination shows through his eyes when facing the immortal demons of the night, unwilling to let them take a life if he can prevent it."

He is a bit conflict-averse and will try to mediate disputes even when his mediation is unwanted.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Martin Chore was born with an entire silver tea service in his mouth, his mother a CEO traded between Fortune 500 companies like a ballplayer, his father a business consultant in the petroworld. Having borne a child just to prove she was a “real woman” as well as a financial shark, mother had no idea what to do with Martin, and father was never home; Martin was raised by nannies and au pairs, and attended the best boarding schools. He was a sufficiently gifted student to have attracted unpleasant attention from his peers, but he made an effort to be outgoing and friendly, and managed to avoid the worst bullying as a result.<br/><br/>Martin’s parents had no concrete expectations for him, since there was no family business to inherit; thus he was permitted to do whatever he wanted after reaching adulthood, and what he wanted to do was study. He skipped through half a dozen majors in college before settling on linguistics, and eventually pursued graduate study in that field. His fieldwork in northern Pakistan, studying the near-extinct Burushaski language, set the chain of thoughts in motion that would lead to his Awakening. Burushaski is a “linguistic isolate,” unrelated to any other language on Earth, but Martin found in it tantalizing hints of a larger scheme of language and thought, a proto-language dramatically different from any postulated by contemporary theories.<br/><br/>It was after returning from Pakistan, however, that Martin actually touched the Supernal. During a drunken bout of elevator-surfing with some engineering students, the elevator he was riding kept going up, and up, and up, far past where the roof of the building had to be. He dropped back into the cab, but could not find the “stop” button; in fact, the walls of the elevator cab seemed to have been overgrown with silver thorns and foliage. The bell rang, and the doors opened on a moonlit rooftop garden. At its center was a reflecting pool encircled by ornate runes inlaid in the pavement. One of them was missing, so Martin pricked his finger on a thorn and drew in the character that logically had to be there. He returned to his senses in the elevator cab, with his friends shouting his name.<br/><br/>The Mysterium found him within days after his Awakening, and he received his basic magical training in the New York City Consilium. After some thought, Martin took the shadow name “Anaximander,” after a pre-Socratic Greek natural philosopher, tutor of Pythagoras, who postulated that infinite worlds are created from boundless ultimate reality and destroyed according to necessity.<br/><br/>After successfully defending his thesis, Martin received a call from a recruiter for the NSA. Divination told him that his destiny lay in that direction, so he turned his Prospect Park condo over to a leasing agent and departed for the Norfolk, VA naval base. He purchased a dilapidated mansion, nearly uninhabitable, on several acres of overgrown land, and set about renovating it as a Sanctum, one piece at a time. A local mystagogue called “Orchid” has joined him, contributing effort in the renovation and care of the minor Hallow in the root cellar in lieu of rent.<br/><br/>The Dots (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=583497)<br/></div></div>"

Psychologist</span><br/>Mastigos of the Guardians of the Veil (http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/26330)</span><br/><br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/>An accomplished psychologist, he fell in love with his own brilliance.  He could diagnose anyone, disassemble their psyche in a matter of hours, piece together what he felt their problems were, and explain to them what they needed to do in order to fix their fractured souls.  Of course, what he perceived and what was reality wasn't always one and the same.  In truth he stopped caring whether people became better, and found ways to keep them coming back for more of his wisdom and advice--after all he knew best for them.<br/><br/>Originally from Boston, he set up his practice in New York City after his early success.  It wasn't long before he had many different hospitals referring patients to his care.  As his ego grew, his pride swelled, and the danger his advice put others in become more and more noticeable.  It was a disaster waiting for the right person to trigger it.<br/><br/>When he'd milked one patient for all they were worth, he sent the man into a dangerous spiral.  Convinced that he was unable to come up with the solutions to his problems himself, he created a need for the advice Thomas had been giving him--an addiction of a sort.  When the source was cut off he became desperate to fulfill that need.  Eventually need became wonton destruction as the patient showed up late one day in Thomas's office with a gun.<br/><br/>As the weapon was drawn on Thomas he saw not the desperate man before him, but a manifestation of...something he could not describe.  Like a demon of shadow and water enveloping the man holding the weapon, and more than that the pools of silver water reflected a hellish landscape, each with a scene depicting one of the various sins.  More disturbing still was the pool that reflected his own face with a hellish grin and glowing eyes.  Time seemed to stop and only reconvened as he noticed the blood coming from stomach moments before the pain erupted within his mind.  Another shot and he went down behind the desk.  Assuming himself finished the patient then shot himself, a vain effort to end the cycle of pain.<br/><br/>Though Thomas may have wished for it he was not dead.<br/><br/>The coma lasted only for a handful of days as the machines worked to keep him alive, but the nightmare that he lived seemed to last years.  Tormented by his own inner demons he eventually tore himself free and made his way through the realm of pandemonium and nightmare.  A labyrinth made of flesh, winds of scourging glass, a realm of hell not befit for anyone.  Within it he found a place of tranquility, a moment of beautiful respite against the storm.  Here he awakened to his true soul and to the Supernal Realm.<br/><br/>When he awoke the nightmare had ended, but the pain had only begun.<br/><br/>Troubled by what he had seen and what he had experienced, as well as his newfound magickal senses, he left his practice, saved what little resources he still had and went away.  He searched for a meaning in the darkness, a purpose behind what he'd felt, and a connection to something so he would not feel so alone.  He tried several religions to no real avail, though it wasn't long that he ran into another Mastigos in a buddhist temple...<br/><br/>Now he has established himself within Hampton Roads Virginia as a psychologist once again, having long since severed any ties to his old life.  Here he performs his duties as a Guardian of the Veil while pursuing the path of the Clavicularius, knowing that his shadows are always at the ready to grip him once more.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> <br/>Always calm and collected, he keeps a cool head and judges things as they come.  Stubbornness borne of mental resilience goes along with the decisions he makes.  Headstrong, his pride is his real weakness, keeping him from following advice, even when well-intentioned.  Despite this fact he is an excellent listener and is good at offering his own advice to others, skilled at motivating them to do things while also pulling information out of them.<br/><br/>An incarnation of The Tower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tower_(Tarot_card)).<br/><br/>Kin to the demon Duke Dantalion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dantalion).<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong> <br/>Younger looking than he really is, his eyes hold all of the age in their crystal blue depths.  Blonde hair only faintly graying, white skin showing little signs of being worn down by the years.  Usually with faint stubble on his face, he has something of a rough, if roguishly charming, appearance.  Most times he dresses in a professional manner, either a suit, or at least a tie with a nice shirt.  This can sometimes devolve into a messy <br/><br/><strong>Quote:</strong><br/><em>""Sure, I can help.  Tell me

These outposts exist to prevent people and products of illegal nature from entering or exiting either empire. Normally these stations are just a single tower with a few guards though some have developed small towns around them as well. People of all kinds flock to these stations to purchase goods or simply to learn the latest news of the realm. Guards are handpicked from soldiers from the capitol and are chosen because of their high moral standards and Rom military discipline.  Despite guard presence, Brothels and bars spring up at nearly every station and back alley deals with illicit goods and drugs are rampant. Because of the military stationed there, you’d expect the worst events being a simple broken window or a missing candle stick due to a disagreement, but darker deeds are performed in the shadows. At one such station, known as Bishan, a change is beginning that will affect the whole of all empires within the known world. It all begins with a single question….<br/><br/>Bishan, a place of budding wealth and growing reputation, is a good, clean, and carefully guarded merchant station. Guarded caravans are commonplace as the outskirts of Bishan are ravaged by bands of thieves and murderers, but within the city confines it is considered a haven of safety. Everyone comes and goes through the station at some point for major goods and deals headed towards the Emerald Forest. People of all trades head out towards the Emerald Forest; some make their fortunes of course and control large estates within the Rom Empire, while others return in rags and despair.<br/><br/>It is here that you find yourselves, seeking your fortunes, for Bishan allows access to many parts of Rom and the Emerald forest. You might even gain employment as a caravan guard, assistant to a mercer, or test your skills with back alley trades. A number of establishments have sprung up around the way station, forming a town of sorts. There are the barracks where the soldiers of Rom and merchant guards are to be found, the tavern is a good place to find a drink and trade some gossip, and the brothel caters to all types and offers carnal pleasures of every sort imaginable. The main thoroughfare is Merchant Lane where everyone comes to purchase, swindle, and obtain the latest word from the capitol.  Guards are posted in pairs or groups throughout the area, wearing simple leather armor and spears with shields. Capitol soldiers are known by their red and yellow vestments, while merchant guards wear earthen tones.<br/><br/>Recent gossip has been about people from the capitol claiming to have odd dreams and even visions of shadows lurking within the dark and pools of blood flowing from towns and cities. Travelers that venture into Bishan have been known to laugh about these tales and claim it is only a ploy to increase the price of goods. Locals fear this possible outcome and are also uneasy about the sudden influx of wandering bands of people. Regardless of whether they believe the rumors or not, merchants are increasing the number of guards on their caravans just to be safe.<br/><br/>You begin your journey in the merchant quarter. Stall keepers try to draw your attention with their harsh cries and gleaming wares, prostitutes bat their eyes with lingering smiles and promises of alluring flesh, and the tavern is in full swing with the roars of song and dance. Guards are going about their duties, smiling and chatting with the locals while verifying goods and arresting drunks. It seems a typical day, but something hovers in the air. Whatever it is, none of you can place from where this uneasiness stems, so you decide to brush it off and explore the Lane. Nearly as soon as you arrive you hear the sounds of a growing crowd near the middle of the town. Guards are leaving their posts and heading towards the area. From your location you can see that people are being drawn to something but you cannot see what. You overhear a trader nearby telling his friend about a merchant and rewards of gold for an easy task. The mood of the gathering crowd is one of growing curiosity and excitement. Looking towards the hubbub you contemplate your next step."

Half-breeds, humans, elves, halflings, gnomes, and even a dwarf or two. All of them are looking up at a large caravan that just pulled into town. The top has been removed and replaced with a wooden stage. A closer look shows that it was a half-assed job but what really draws your attention is two small chests overflowing with gold/silver and gemstones placed upon each end of the caravan under heavy guard by half-orc merchant guards. Anyone that gets to close is swatted away with the end of a spear. Many people near the chests have a bruise or two.<br/><br/>Upon the platform is a middle aged human man with a charismatic face. He is well groomed and has short brown hair with blue eyes. His clothes are of fine wool and in deep colors of green that could only be found in the elven markets. He smiles to everyone and seems to be waiting on the crowd to grow just a bit more. A few minutes later the crowd starts to mutter as if impatient before the man raises his hand and everyone goes quiet. ""Hello people of Bishan. How is your day fair? Well I hope."" He starts to walk from one end of the platform to the next as he speaks. ""I have traveled many weeks within the elven forest and reaped many rewards as you can clearly see. Trading my stocks and wares to great affect, gods be praised."" He paused in his walking and takes on a sour face. ""But I didn't find what I was looking for and it makes all this wealth seem like nothing."" he lightly kicks a chest and coins tumble out. The front of the crowd dives upon it before the guards can intercept them as the coins it the ground.<br/><br/>Struggles ensure as the man ignores them and starts walking again around the platform. ""So I can see that you all seek my wealth and why not? Your all hard working and under paid ed men and women of the empire. Someone should give you a reward for your services. I will do just that."" he pauses a moment as a half-orc guard gets upon the platform and holds out another chest of leather pouches. ""I seek an item, a rare item within the forest borders of the Emerald forest. It has remained elusive to me for many months and weeks and my feet grow tired. I know its location now and just need for someone to pick it up for me. If you get it for me I will pay you well."" He picks up a leather pouch.<br/><br/>""These pouch's each hold a small collection of my wealth and it can be yours if you help me. The trip will only take but a week of time. A simple week and a years worth of paid form my very hands. Or if you are faster then some I will double the amount.""  The crowd looks perplexed but the man pours the contents of the pouch out and gold and a gemstone fall into his hand. The crowd quickly has a number of people jump up to the front of the platform. Telling the man that they would like to help. He hands each of them a small piece of paper and a pouch and the people dash off. ""Come one and all. I have money to spare here. Remember the one to get me what I seek first will also get another prize from my wares. But only a true man or woman of the empire with unsurpassed skills could bring me my item within five days. So who will that be? Will it be you sir or you madam?"" he points to people within the crowd.<br/><br/>While he talks people come and go from his platform. Many laugh at him for just giving his wealth away to beggars, guards, even other merchants. But as you look towards this man he doesn't seem to care for anything save what he is looking for. The gold you see in the pouches is genuine and the looks on peoples faces are eager. You need money as well for your tasks so what is stopping you?"

He spoke,<strong>""There must've been something interesting you did during the break.

Mori, of course, typically got angry, but was nice enough to accept the teachers apology on Edgar's behalf. Not even that cat fully understood how the bearded young wizard could just be so... unbothered.<br/><br/>Truth is, his mind was just plain somewhere else. The moment class let out, there was a scurry to get back to his room and drop off his things. Then, it was speed-walking through the halls with the familiar in tow, off to the outside world.<br/><br/>Ooh, ooh, ooh, he missed getting to do this. He shifted forms into that of a large, Eurasian lynx. At 48 inches long, from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail--which was a fairly short 8 inches--, he was fairly long for his breed. 30 inches tall at the shoulder made him a few inches taller than the average; and at nearly 50kg of weight, he could safely be said to  be immense in size, dwarfing even the large familiar who seemed positively ecstatic at seeing his master in a form that was obviously much better than a humans.<br/><br/>Edgar's fur was a sort of blond color with brown spots and stripes. Short-furred, he was nonetheless in possession of a large quantity of it.  There were two tufts of fur along his chin, making an odd resemblance to a beard, and his large, pointed ears constantly swiveled about, taking in all he could as he traveled. Long, long whiskers were jutting out, in the manner a cat was prone to do when they were excited or happy.<br/><br/>He and Mori would race towards the pear tree, and circle around it for a while, apparently chasing each other. That is, until Mori stops--Edgar had been chasing him-- and bats at him with a paw. Edgar pulls himself backwards a bit, and the two make various noises at each other; as if communicating.<br/><br/>They both look up at the tree, and whilst Mori was quick to utilize his claws into climbing up it, Edgar seemed to be hesitating. After some deliberation, he just kicks off of the ground, and launches himself into the lowest, thickest branch; one that would hold his weight well.<br/><br/>With a pause to scratch at his ear with his hind leg, he would contemplate climbing higher. He'd have to be careful if he did that, though. He's fallen down before."

Pretty soon her afternoons would be taken up with Quidditch practice, or fencing lessons, or whatever else she could participate in that didn't involve more studying and things which held no interest to her such as memorizing constellations. Although she had to admit that she was looking forward to beginning another year of tutoring with Gabriel... as well as a chance to face off against him on the pitch.<br/><br/>But for the moment it was Edgar she was most looking forward to seeing, one of her closest friends and someone with whom she felt she had much in common, as well as having shared more than a few nights of pleasure. And she was pretty sure she knew where to find him, at least generally speaking.

When she was pretty sure she had their attention, she just smiled and moved to sit down at the edge of the old fountain, removing her jacket and placing it next to her. There was a nice breeze whipping up through the overgrown courtyard, and she was glad to sit there and enjoy it for a moment as it whipped her long, scarlet hair behind her like a proudly waving flag."

That was his default expression.<br/><br/>When she clears her throat, and Edgar finally notices her, Mori turns his attention to other, more important matters than one of the masters mates; specifically, the half-kneazle needs to clean himself. Being the king of cats and such, it was important for him to look his best at all times; his vanity demanded it of him.<br/><br/>Edgar got down out of the tree with a heavy<strong>thud</strong>, and practically ran over to his friend on all fours. Thud, thud, thud, thud! Like a small stampede. He would pause in front of her, then move up closer. He was thrumming quite happily, audibly purring for her as he went in to give her a few nuzzles. This was pretty typical Edgar behavior.<br/><br/>He tended to be fairly affectionate, and loved to stay in his feline form. He had no qualms about acting the part of an oversized cat, either. But, after a few moments of that fae fun, he would shift his form back to human. He would lick the tip of her nose, a slightly impish grin on his face; kind of like the cat that got the cream, as the saying goes. ""Hi! Katrina. How's it going?""<br/><br/>Excited as ever, he would nonetheless give her a bit of space, and settle down next to her by the fountain.

In fact, he was kind of doing both, since if he saw any nonsense, he'd step in and do his duties. He was mostly thinking, though, about two things.<br/><br/>First of all, he was getting re-attuned to the 'lay of the land'; he was dead certain that the schools layout had changed ever-so-subtly since his brief visit during the summer break. That had also not been nearly enough time for him to get truly comfortable with the layout. Now, he had some free time, so he sought to rectify this minor problem.<br/><br/>Secondly, he worried about whether the other teachers and classes would be so... lawless. Undisciplined. The very first class he attended left a foul taste in his mouth, as the saying goes.  That outburst from one student would have resulted in him getting stuffed in the stockings, with a sign of shame affixed around his neck, had this happened in his beloved Durmstrang.  The penalty would have had to be that harsh, and would have undoubtedly resulted in  a loss of privileges and station; but here, at Hogwarts, it seemed like it would just be tolerated.<br/><br/>Hopefully, in the next few days, something would be done about that.   As far as the German was concerned, it set a very poor example for all the students. It encouraged a sort of reckless lawlessness, which he despised, and... wait, why does he hear the sound of rushing water?<br/><br/>water comes pouring down along the stairs, though he is far enough away from the origin that he is only at risk for getting his boots wet; a trifling thing.  Yet, it begged investigating.  With a flick of his wrist, he activated the spring-loaded wrist-mounted wand-holder, and Umbra slid outward from its leathery container, and right into his hand.  He could practically feel the power pulsing from it; it was soothing, in its own way, though their were many who might be unmanned by it.<br/><br/>He could feel it thrumming with contentment at being used; though certainly not for what it<em>loved</em>. ""<strong>Evanesco.</strong>"" He would speak; he was not shouting, rather, he had a strong emphasis and harsh power to his voice.<br/><br/>As he advanced up the stairs, he used the spell to magic away the water. Step by step, he advanced at a pace that was somewhere between brisk and leisurely. As he advances steadily onward, the water before him disappears, square inch by square inch. It wouldn't be too long until he was drawing near to Charlize...<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Roll</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">At 2013-07-13 11:22:39, TheHangedMan (uid: 12227) rolls: 4d6 Result: 17 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=48276)<br/>4, 6, 2, 5. -1 due to Umbra hating Transfiguration magic. </div></div>"

His unit bounced around the Rockpile for a couple years before being brought back stateside for retraining, returning the young Marine home with a pretty shiny record, full of glowing comments from his superiors. Shortly after getting back to The World, his sergeant's chevrons caught up with him, making him eligible for Selection into the Marine Special Operations Command. That meant a lot of tests, physical, mental, psychological, the whole list. Then it meant more training, in everything from heavy weapons to flaking a flint knife for a weapon and using it to count coup on the instructors, not to mention the classroom stuff like languages and strategy, tactics and geography, et cetera...<br/><br/>Long story short, he got into the Marine equivalent of Green Berets and went off to do a lot of good work on bad people, most of it involving heavy things which go boom or get hot or both. Sometimes it was sharp and heavy things which can also get hot, but only when you want them to. Then he got kicked out of the Marine Special Operations Regiment because of a classified incident, which could be summed up as ""reckless civilian endangerment"" (the bomb wasn't that big). He knows how to use just about anything ever designed to kill people or big animals effectively, though his personal preference is for heavy-weapons, particularly those with a large caliber and high rate of fire. He's also big as a frappin' house, so don't piss him off or he'll pull a Chewbacca on you. See what I did there, ""pull"" a-- Nevermind...<br/><br/>Apart from being big enough to rip arms out of sockets and knowing his way around every weapons system known to man, Hank also speaks Spanish fluently, Farsi, Arabic, and Kurdish passably, with a little Russian and German thrown in for good measure. He is fastidious in matters of his body as far as exercise and what sort of chemicals go into it, but he has a taste for Lucky Strikes, which he smokes only very occasionally."

younger in school, those around her never missed an opportunity to remind her of that.  “Grease Monkey” they called her, over and over again until the day she graduated.  They all always looked down upon her.  She wasn’t one of them.  She wasn’t rich like them, nor was her father a power-player in the city like most of theirs.  No.  Her father was a different sort of power player.<br/><br/>She knew what her father did for a living when he wasn’t servicing the everyday person’s cars.  It was an unspoken rule between them, to never bring it up, and nor did she.  It was their secret, between father and daughter.  Only a handful of people knew of her father’s value to the city’s more nefarious elements.  Mechanic to the Criminals.  Whether it was street racers who needed an extra boost under the hood, or the local crime bosses who needed extra hidden spaces or surprise elements in their cars, he was always there.  He was a magician with a wrench under the hood, able to fix any and all problems, a reputation he earned.<br/><br/>Cars and engines were what she grew up around ever since she was younger.  She didn’t play with Barbie dolls or dress up for tea with stuffed animals.  She didn’t fawn over dresses and fashion.  Instead she was a girl who played with engine parts, who at age twelve knew more about cars and fixing engines than most men did three times her age.   At her father’s feet she learned about engines and cars, learned how to take apart and disable an engine, how to rebuild one, and so on until the day he died of a heart attack.<br/><br/>Rebecka “Grease Monkey” Reynolds took over the shop on the day her father died.  Instead of going to college, as her father always dreamed, she stayed in the shop, working on the things her father loved as much as he loved her.  It wasn’t long until the same criminal elements who had paid for her father’s business came calling to her, getting pulled into the tangled web of crime just like her Daddy.<br/><br/>She was on her own, just as she always had been.  For a while Rebecka was able to keep the shop up and going, clinging onto the few legitimate customers her father had, but never the ones who always paid the big bucks.  The racers, the crime lords, all of them shied away from her.  Always it was the same things.  “Why trust a kid with stuff like this?  A girl at that?”<br/><br/>When the shop finally closed down, unable to keep up with the large bills that had continued to pile up over the years under her father’s ownership and her own, it was as if a part of her father had died all over again.  Countless times she watched people going in and out of it, the prospective buyers while she could only watch from afar, sad and angry that the place which had been her refuge was taken away from her.  But no one would enjoy it the way she did.  No.  Rebecka saw to that.<br/><br/>The Arson Investigators could never find out who caused the fire.  In that part of the city, it was a miracle if anyone had fake security cameras, let alone real, working ones.  The molotov cocktail had been clean of fingerprints, generic, easily reproduced.  When the fire had been finally put out, it was nothing more

made them grow apart.  A loner, she takes up a few odd mechanic jobs here and there for street racers in need of a quick fix or boost, or the occasional chop-shop job to make a living.<br/><br/>Personality wise, she is a quiet sort.  Introverted to a degree from her days at school being teased about her short height at barely over five feet one and her father’s profession.  Focused and driven on the task at hand.  Likes to experiment, so to speak, with things that are considered illegal, a habit she learned from her father and tinkering with engines."

Note: You DO still have to send your in depth info to me via PM.<br/><br/>ALSO: I need people's opinions on how we want to set things up threads wise. Obviously there will be individual threads for the different characters being recruited, but the bulk of the actual game play, I'm debating having a couple ""general use"" threads that cover different areas (HQ, Safe houses, and ""Abroad"" for any travel that isn't related to the missions), and then doing each mission in it's own thread... everything related to the mission would take place there. Alternatively, We could do everything for the core game (not including the recruitments) in one thread. OR I could just do a bunch of location threads and not differentiate based on events. My primary suggestion for the individual mission threads is that it will make it easier to link back to them in the wiki, as I have the intention of doing a page on ""past jobs"" and a page on ""pending jobs"", I thought it would be neat to link to the old threads so we could reread if needed.<br/><br/>What do you guys think?

Mori, himself, also had a plate of meat to eat from; and just as every year before, the feline placed its paws upon the table, and ate from the plate, as if he were human. And Mori has immaculate table manners, to boot; after all, he was a king--just ask him!-- and had to conduct himself as such, lest the plebeians think they are somehow better than him.<br/><br/>Mori, you see, had a great deal of pride and ego."

Some did both at the same time.<br/>At the teachers’ table professor Albenshire was having a casual conversation with Crystal about their summer vacation and what they hoped from the new students of this year. She was certainly paying attention to his words, but her eyes casually followed the students’ table, a habit she developped throughout the years.  Maxwell always assumed she was watching them worried that some students might get indigestion. Most table accidents had more to do with the older ones magically playing with their food to show off to the first years, actually. Not to mention that every year there was at least one Slytherin whose ‘welcome trick’ was just a tad more deadly than the last opening feast.<br/><br/>She glanced over to the Gryffindor table where Edgar stood and gave a slight smile before focusing on professor Albenshire again, looking straight into his eyes.<br/><br/>“…so then I have something planned for the extracurricular activities this year, decided to try a new approach to make my class less..unapproachable to my students.

Charlize gave arguments for both sides, mediating the conversation so that it wouldn’t turn from a simple argument into a full-scale war. Having two important players from the Quidditch team at each other’s throat couldn’t be a good thing, even if it was just the beginning of the year – or maybe precisely because of it.<br/>She looked around the table for backup and again ended up gazing at Summerby. Her loss of focus on the conversation almost caused the start of another Wizarding War – at least that’s how she’ll relate things back in the dormitory later on.<br/><br/>Eventually things settled down and Charlize was able to greet Edgar properly, but instead of waving, she directed the tip of her wand towards him and<div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Magical confetti dice roll</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Roll Result: Charlize Renard rolled: 3d6, keeping 3 dice<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 5, 1, 4,<br/>Total: 10<br/></div></div>.<br/><br/>A boom of red and yellow pieces headed straight for Edgar and Mori, landing on their clothes and plates.<br/><br/>"

The new head of Gryffindor didn't seem much more interesting, apparently off in his own little world, but at least he was cute.

Stevie hadn't bothered to pay much mind to the sorting, or the headmistress, only managing a small lackluster wave when the new little griffs joined the over-sized table. As the speech drew to a close, she finally lifted her head, pushing at the curtain of dull mousy brown hair that hung down over her shoulders in all its life-less glory. "" Hogwarts"" she said without much enthusiasm, winching slightly as the rest of the school cheerfully screamed at the top of their lungs.

She just couldn't understand that creature...but then again other then her rat Baba, Stevie failed to 'get' most creatures of the furry/scaly/fishy variety.

She didn't trust that cat as far as she could throw it, and seeing as she couldn't even touch it...tossing it was obviously not going to happen. So, in the event Whiskers got away from Edgar and attempted to make her into a scratching post, Stevie was more then ready, and<em>willing</em>to turn it into a ugly hairless version of itself.<br/><br/>As the young witch ate, she seemed to become more alive, and her appearance reflected her new found energy.

The routine greeting of the teachers and staff took place after the sorting was through. Alex took the opportunity of welcoming the first years before the teachers began to speak, as the first years walked away either in awe of or having dreamy eyes towards Alex. Then everything settled down so that the teachers could finally speak. The young brown haired man sat and listened to the teachers as they introduced themselves and what their position was. He sat with his right leg crossed over the other and with his rapier against the back of his seat. He positioned his elbow on the table and laid his handsome face on top of his hand. The train ride was long and it drained Alex of his energy. As soon as the teachers finished and the entirety of Hogwarts began eating, he perked up at the sound of talking, laughing, and yelling and, although tired, he yelled along with the rest of the people he was sitting with, Alex's voice being a tad more noticeable than theirs,<strong>""Hogwarts!""</strong>Everyone began to eat, however, his appetite wasn't responding well to the food, considering that he indulged in too many chocolates, one of his vices. The young man was able to eat part of what looked like a traditional Muggle steak, and mash potatoes, but one never really knows in the wizarding world, unless that person is the chef.<br/><br/><br/>Alex took his handkerchief from his pocket. It was Gryffindor red and it had his name, Alex d'Artagnan, embroidered in golden thread on it. He used it to wipe his mouth and soon placed it back into his pocket. Fireworks sounded and Alex looked over and scoffed,<em>""Of course. Charliiiize... the party girl. I had bet someone on the train that her first spell would be the confetti spell.""</em>He shook his head and shrugged, deciding that it was her life and not his and that she has the freedom to do with her life as she chooses. The brown haired man stood up and collected his rapier, placing it on his left side, before looking around at the different tables. Eyes looked toward Alex as he stood up, and he smiled and saluted the people whom those eyes belong to. The handsome figure looked around looking for his beautiful counterpart, Miyako Nakashima or Miya for short. Miya and Alex were basically a couple, but it was not really known. There were worries, mainly on Miya's part, that others would look at her and him with strange, judging glances and whisper rumors or gossip amongst each other.

It had been nice to be back, see his old friends, smile that the children he had helped raised were now of age in the tribe and helping to raise the next generation. He had talked to his grandmother and filled her in on all the latest news from the wizarding community.  But all too soon he had to return to school and it was tough to walk two worlds. His tribe didn't understand the wizarding community and they in turn couldn't fathom the simple life of his tribe. He loved them both and he hated to leave but he needed to finish his education, no matter what he chooses as a career.<br/><br/>He was at the platform helping all the first years get on the right train.  Followed by a meeting with Veronica Ravenshire, his counterpart as Head Boy/Girl.  She was a Hufflepuff, but Xavril didn’t mind that, she was quick to understand and solve problems.  They would get along just fine in their new duties for the next two years and if not he was sure McGonagall would straighten them out in nothing flat.  The prefect meeting went well, it was good to see Nia again. Xavril had been nervous that one of the Ravenclaw prefects was a transfer and new to the school, but he seemed to be fitting in just fine; asked a couple of good questions but for the most part observed and listened. With a little encouragement from the other prefects of the house he should get on nicely.  Xavril made a mental note to ask Gabriel Brewer to keep an eye on him for a few days to make sure he was finding his way around alright.<br/><br/>Xavril was glad when the train had arrived, it meant they were one step close to being safe.  While at school related functions Xavril may bleed the green and silver of Slytherin, but as Head Boy he felt responsible for the safety of every member of the school.  He smiled as he watched the bustle of people getting off the trains, ‘yes’, he thought, ‘it was good to be back in a tribe.  Even a dysfunctional, squabbling, mass of confusion that this one is a lot of the time.’  Shaking his head he secured his wand in a leather sheath on his arm; the children he had taught over the summer had made it for him.  Crouching down out of the main walkway he places his paws on the cobblestones and just like that he’s off running towards the castle.  Xavril had grown accustomed to ""stretching his legs"" to get to school.  Upon arriving at the main gate the wolf's paws climb up the stairs till he is upright as Xavril resumes his form and walking into the Great Hall.<br/><br/>Taking a seat next to Vidya, a teammate and she, Nia and himself always seemed to be in or around trouble whenever they all crossed paths.  He smiled at her cheering and mental calculations.  “Vidya, please don’t make me take too many points from myself this year.”  He filled his plate as the questions about their new head of house started to rise to the center of conversation. “I don’t know much about the man,” Xavril said, “He doesn’t look entirely pleased to be here, but I’m certainly pleased that the head of my house is the Transfiguration teacher.  I’d love to learn anything and everything I can about the subject in general.  And in light of my abilities I’m always looking to learn more.” He laughed giving a mock wolf howl, swirling some of the confetti in the air around himself.  “Don’t worry about it, I’m Head Boy, I’ll see if I can catch him between classes tomorrow and get a feel for the man.”<br/>"

His eyes narrowed at her suggestion. He held up one of his paws, and splayed out all his claws, whilst establishing eye contact with her.<em>If you dare to imply I will serve any but Edgar, I will gouge out your eyes and consume them whole</em>he seemed to be saying. This feline was actually pretty good at expressing himself; or, maybe that was just Edgar's interpretation, since he loves to analyze and 'translate' animal behavior.<br/><br/>The cat then turned its attention to Edgar, and meowed at him. Then, he raised up onto his hind legs, and patted him on the shoulder. ""<em>Mreeewow!Purr?""</em>Edgar, without missing a beat, looked at his animal friend, then looked at Charlize. ""Mori wants me to let you know that over the summer, I started practicing with enlargement spells for him.  He's currently asking me to use one, so I'd be careful if I were you."" He spoke plainly, though; almost comically. He wasn't threatening her, and surely wouldn't oblige the feline's request in the Great Hall. He liked to avoid trouble.<br/><br/>The question was, did Mori actually say that, or was Edgar just making it up? He always did joke about being fluent in Feline-ese, but one might wonder if the connection of familiar and wizard didn't help him understand the feline better; and there were such things as parseltongues, too. Those who could talk to snakes. Why should snakes be the only animal that could be communicated with?<br/><br/>Still, though, the feline seemed apparently satisfied, and gave Charlize one last, withering look, before it attempted to eat more of its chicken; eating around the confetti.<br/><br/><strong>Name: </strong>Gustav Raubriter<br/><strong>House/Year:</strong>Ravenclaw/6th<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Great Hall, Ravenclaw Table<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Desiree<br/><br/>His eyes locked in on the woman who was addressing him, and his eyes quickly scanned over her face and body, giving her the once over. Afterwards, he locked eyes with her, meeting her gaze with his own steely one. His eyes were a wintry cold, pale blue in coloration; a stark contrast to her green.<br/><br/>""The Moirai are fickle goddesses. Some times, they like to mix things up, just to see what happens."" He commented idly, his English flawless, but laced through and through with a distinguishably German accent.<br/><br/>Quietly, he wondered to himself, what she was scheming. He was used to the more paranoid feel of Durmstrang, where it seemed like everybody had a secondary--perhaps even a third, or fourth--reason for anything they say or did. Gustav would certainly be on the list of those who practiced the fine art of having ulterior motives, at least.<br/><br/>If her smirk was meant to intimidate or startle him with apparent creepiness, it did not do its job. He seemed absolutely unbothered. He would extend his hand towards her, deciding that no matter what, it would pay to be respectful to everyone he met; at least for the time being. He doesn't know what the student power structure is like... yet.<br/><br/>""I am Gustav Raubriter."" He offered as an introduction, watching her closely; depending on how much she knows of Wizard and Witch families in other countries, she might be able to identify him as coming from a German family of known Dark Arts practitioners; which might very well raise a whole list of questions as to why he was here, and what he knew. After all, Dark Arts weren't as strictly controlled in Germany.  ""Might I have your name?"" Okay, perhaps that was too formal.  It sounded right to him, though."

Of course, before he could properly respond, the first years were trailed in and attention completely diverted from idle chit chat to the sorting hat and it's song. At the call for a cheer she rolled her eyes. As enthusiastic as Professor Flitwick was, she wasn't in the mood to cheer. She was, in fact, hungry, and waiting for the feast instead to start.

To those people, she would just say that they didn't really know him. But she sometimes wondered if he might be happier with someone that was more like her sister... more aggressive and not as reluctant to take control of things. And more sympathetic with his view regarding the superiority of pure bloods.<br/><br/>On the subject of her sister, Veronica could only sigh as she glanced over at the Gryffindor table. She still wondered how the other girl was chosen for that house and not Slytherin, although she imagined that was for the best. Her gaze shifted over to Slytherin for a moment, smiling softly as she tried to catch Lucian's gaze for a moment, before shifting her attention back to her own house for a little while. When the cheer came up, she joined in but in her own reserved manner, before sitting back and sighing softly. She regarded the argument between Michael and Loreena with a stern glance, nodding to Charlize with an appreciative smile as the other girl tried to mediate it. This was going to be a good year, even if she was already worried about keeping a few of the more intractable students in check, her sister definitely among them."

Almost every time they came across eachother it was because she wasn’t paying attention – the redhead avoided him just because she feared he won’t be able to control his transformation.<br/><br/>She imagined the large wolf biting on the Christmas tree, tearing it down with all its pretty globes and tinsel, scaring the first years half to death, then coming to bite whoever dressed up as Santa this year right in the … “Xavril’s … well I guess I<strong>could</strong>ask him.” Charlize said obviously less excited than before, yet she really took into consideration Stevie’s suggestion.<br/>It was Mori’s turn to get the redhead’s attention and he did so with such ease and expressivity, that Charlize asked herself for the one hundreth time if Mori wasn’t just some old and powerful wizard cursed to take animal form.<br/><br/><em> ""Mori wants me to let you know that over the summer, I started practicing with enlargement spells for him.

You believe he's not<em>big</em>enough? I'd suggest the opposite...Mori'd look so cute as a teeny weeny.."" one look from Mori convinced her to drop the subject. ""So Edgar practiced during his vacation"" she said as if it was a bad thing, but winked at her friend to let him know she was actually proud someone didn't waste the summer away ""and I've been hiking the old fashioned way - like muggles do it, ya know...I actually had to climb a mountain on foot.

Which is saying something, because Edgar was in the heavy department. In fact, given that and his beard, there are some who think he might somehow be related to Hagrid.<br/><br/>It seemed like a stretch, though. Could he really make the familiar that big? ""He can take down a full-grown buck like he is now, you know. I bet he could take down something with real teeth if he's buffed up."" At the mention of the buck, Mori would lick his lips rather loudly, indicating his love of venison; especially when it was carved right out of the animal, and eaten, raw, bloody, and still warm.<br/><br/>After a moment, Edgar got a bowl and had it filled with water, which he set next to Mori's place. The feline was done eating for now, and was now happily lapping up the cool, clean water. While he never stopped drinking when Charlize mentioned how he might look cute if he were normal sized, he gave her that look; the evil eye, as some may call it. She's really pushing herself, and at some point, he might have to sneak into her room, and watch her all night long, just to scare her when she first awakes, and sees him leering down at her with that look that says<em>I could end your existence at any time of my choosing</em>.<br/><br/>""That's cool.

Edgar, you see, typically has a very physically active and strange summer.  He's always got an adventure or two, and it almost invariably involves one of the animals on his parents ranch.<br/><br/>When the birds come, Katrina may note, with what is likely to be no surprise at all, that the large feline companion of Edgar's becomes exceedingly hostile; he winds up wounding one of the birds, and sending it crashing down somewhere else, while the second one he goes after, he actually manages to grab ahold of. The feline would then take his catch underneath the table, to feast on it in relative peace and quiet.<br/><br/>""I think someone is screwing around. If I go cat form and start hunting them down, too, do you think they'll be mad at me?"" He asked this of Stevie, quite innocently at that.  Maybe he was joking; probably not. He was just odd like that. It's especially easy to take him seriously here, considering his previous mention of hunting deer.<br/><br/>Mori, meanwhile, was quick to emerge from under the table, a bit of blood smeared around his face, and carrying a single feather with him as a trophy of sorts. Edgar winds up taking the feather from him, while the cat begins the process of licking his paw, then rubbing it against his face; of cleaning up. Being clean was important to most cats; for Mori, it was even more important; he was, after all, a superior feline! And he must look the part.<br/><br/>He looks over the feather in his hand for a while, and decides he might save it for something. Maybe an impromptu quill. But, his attention was back on Katrina for now. ""What about you? Anything exciting?"""

No reaction there.  Her forehead creases into a frown and she opens her lips to say something when Edgar, paying attention to Stevie, suggests he’d take cat form and start hunting them down together with Mori.<br/><br/>To Charlize’s bewilderment, even Stevie agreed to the “cruelty”.<br/><br/>“I mind!” she said suddenly snapping at Stevie’s comment and pointed feverishly towards Mori with her index finger.  “Why don’t you put a muzzle on him, Edgar?

She winced sympathetically; they hadn't spoken much yet, but he'd seemed like a nice enough boy and Veronica was rather intimidating even when she wasn't understandably angry. Her focus was back on John soon though and she seemed to wilt a little when she thought she caught a hint of hastily hidden disappointment on his face. Most students probably wouldn't have picked up on it, but Petra seemed particularly in tune with people's dissatisfaction with her, real or imagined.<br/><br/>""W-well...the scrimmages and practice games were almost identical to the real matches...though um, I guess the audience probably changes the overall ambience of the game significantly..."" Her voice was soft and hesitant, as if she were used to being interrupted frequently. ""But I...I promise I won't let you down! I'll put in extra hours of practice if I need to, I used to spend much of my free time, um, helping others with their studies, I'm sure an hour or two a day won't hamper my learning.""<br/><br/>A grateful smile, the first real sign of genuine happiness anyone had seen on the timid Russian girl since she'd arrived at the grounds, lit up Petra's face when Dan reassured her of his resilience. When her schedule glowed she unrolled it excitedly and her smile just got wider when she saw Astronomy at the top of the page. At 8am it would likely be theory rather than a practical course, but she was ecstatic nonetheless. ""Oh um...I haven't put a lot of thought into wands since I got my own to be honest. I am interested in Quidditch though! I just um...well I didn't really do well in Durmstrang's atmosphere overall, to be honest. Astronomy's my favorite though! If...if you have it at 8 too, perhaps you could show me the way to the observatory? I was given a tour over the summer, but it's been over a month and things are a bit fuzzy now to be honest..."""

((I'm using this one because this was the potion they were expected to brew 6th year.))<br/><br/>On another rules question, How are the DCs set? Because obviously a normal student couldn't reach this DC with only 2d6. What are the average rolls? Most systems have them marked. Also, does the year you're in change the DC for spells as you learn them? Like certain spells 6th years would know, 4th years wouldn't. And certain spells 6th years simply have more practice on than a 4th year. Are DC's consistent for every character?<br/><br/>Let me know if I should just go reread the rules and if I'm being silly in asking. :)<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>Some good questions.<br/><br/>Admittedly, the DC is high, but that is because the things that make potions tricky in the setting are hard to simulate.  The first, ingredients, are rarely a factor.  We don't really keep track of expenses or the gathering of materials.  The second is the time to brew, which is largely done behind the scenes.  The third catch is failure.  If you fail to brew a potion, you know (because you rolled) and can choose not to drink it, and avoid the consequences.  A spell, on the other hand, punishes you instantly for failure.<br/><br/>This reminds me of something I need to state in the rules thread.<br/><br/>Also, brewing a potion under the watchful eye of a professor does grant a +3 bonus.<br/><br/>""Normal"" is a difficult term.  After all, no one in Hogwarts is normal.  A rating of 2 is an average person without proper training, so most spells can not be cast with a 2, as most require very precise motions and inflection.  With a 3, you will succeed on basic spells (DC 9) far more often than not.  3b1 gives you a 50% chance on DC 12 spells, so some of these are not quite as difficult as they seem.  Hell, Xavril just cast a DC 17 with 4b1.<br/><br/>As for familiarity, I kinda let this one slide.  If I catch a 4th year player constantly using obscure spells or making up their own (a concern of late after the confetti spells), I will say something, but there are no hard rules.  DCs may change on situation, but not person."

He currently wears loose blue pants and a white button down shirt when not in uniform.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Character Image</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://www.wall321.com/thumbnails/detail/20130530/boots%20blondes%20pants%20clouds%20uniforms%20ruins%20cityscapes%20gloves%20military%20flowers%20buildings%20jackets%20short_www.wall321.com_67.jpg)</div></div><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>On a first impression, Pankratios comes across as distant and disinterested. When he is not in combat he is usually deep in thought or reflection. Some have even described him as 'asleep' when not on duty. He is more than happy to speak his mind, but only to those that ask him to. In combat, he is much more 'awake.'<br/><br/>With his life on the line he is much more reckless and aggressive, taking advantage of his speed to move in quickly and take out any enemies. His fighting style makes it hard for him to fight around other Shinigami, which has left him with jeers and disapproval amongst some of the Michael Division that were or nearly injured because of him.<br/><br/><strong>Zanpakuto:</strong>Féta tou Chrónou<br/><br/>""Rend! Féta tou Chrónou!""<br/><br/>Sealed - In it's sealed state, Féta tou Chrónou looks like an ordinary Longsword. The blade is a bit thicker and heavier, but much duller than the average Zanpakuto.<br/><br/>Released - In Féta tou Chrónou's released state, the sword transforms into a pair of elbow length metal gauntlets. Embedded in each gauntlet is a dagger that sticks out 11 inches from Pankratios' knuckles. Each dagger can be launched from the gauntlet at will. Once a dagger is launched, Pankratios can move at a speed faster than flash step (known as a 'rend attack') to the point of the dagger, cutting anything between the two. His movement is limited to once per dagger until both are recovered and returned to their gauntlets. His trajectory during the 'rend attack' can vary by up to 15 degrees from the trajectory of the dagger.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Pankratios, or ""Pan"" as many call him, is relatively well known around the Soul Society whether it be for better or worse. He has served the Michael Division for many decades, quickly becoming skilled on the battle field. He was on his way to becoming a rising star with his careful and calculated attacks and his ability to effectively coordinate with the rest of his squad to take down Hollows before they could cause any trouble.<br/><br/>There was one mission, however, where that changed. It was a particularly cloudy night during a mission in the World of the Living. Pankratios and a very dear friend of his were on patrol in a small town in Finland. It was an opportunity for them to have a nice romantic working vacation after falling in love in the Soul Society. Sitting on a hillside looking over the sleepy village, they sat in each other's arms. A few Hollows attacked the village that evening and the couple responded. Overconfident, Pankratios taunted the Hollows and carelessly toyed with them. Little did he know, there was a reason two Soul Reapers were sent to the tiny village, an Adjuchas rank Hollow was detected not a day earlier.<br/><br/>With his back wide open, the Adjuchas leaped from the shadows going in for the kill. It was all his beloved could do to move in the way and intercept the blow with her body. The sight of his best friend and lover sacrificing herself to protect him was too much for the Soul Reaper to bear. The sight of her with a hole in her chest etched in his mind forever. This was all because of his arrogance. Here he thought he was invincible and life was good, but his world shattered right before his eyes. From that point on, he has troubling remembering what happened. All that he knew is that he is still alive, and she is dead. He vowed never to be careless in battle after that point.<br/><br/>Weeks on end after his initial recovery from the event he quickly became consumed with guilt and his personality shifted to the more withdrawn Pankratios that is now known across the Soul Society today.<br/><br/><strong>Ons:</strong>Taunting, teasing, dirty-talk, power play (really, anything not in Offs)<br/><br/><strong>Offs:</strong>Scat, watersports, vomit, mutilation, extreme violence, bestiality, hard vore, males"

determined as she may be to continue to grow strong, has never been able to strengthen her personality.  She finds it very difficult not only to open up to new people, but even at some points even to say more than a few words to them.  Awkward in social situations, Catelyn tends to just keep to herself even in groups of just more than five only answering questions when directly asked or when it is vital that she speak up.  Until she is exceedingly comfortable with someone people tend to think of her as a very quiet person, but oh are they wrong.  Around people she likes she can be quite the

released, Catelyn is capable of creating a perfect copy of herself.  The clone is solid and capable of attacking her opponent.  When destroyed the clone disappears in a blinding flash of

unfamiliar people claiming that they were to be her new family.  The strangest thing though, she found that no matter how long she went without eating she wasn't hungry... at least for the first year there.  Almost on the exact day that she had been there for a year she began to feel a bit peckish.<br/><br/>The hunger grew on through the day, and by the next morning it was almost unbearable.  She stayed where she was for almost a week before she found that she would have to move away where food was more plentiful and easier to sneak away.  Soon she found herself sleeping on the streets in the city proper.  It wasn't long that she was there that it was noticed that she was stealing food and was soon brought to the academy.  She was explained that the fact that she grew hungry meant she had the potential to become an Angel for the Angel Guard.  If she managed that she would never have to steal food again.  What's more she could learn how to grow stronger and help the world of the living

Conall has a slim and toned build of a runner or a swimmer and when on duty he typically wears either reinforced leather armor or chain mail over his tabard as he dislikes being slowed down by heavier armor with gauntlets to protect his hands and forearms. Outside of combat he usually wears brown loose fitting trousers and dark green shirt or anything that he feels won’t restrict his movement.<br/><br/>(http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/6efb0e3c29e855dc1602269cc0d6e59e/http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp172/Annie_Mul_Lover/Stece/Shadow%20Characters/AnimeBoy15_zps6828ffe9.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Conall has never been the most refined person in the world. He’s straight forward and short tempered when it comes to those questioning his honor or his background. He’s not someone one would want to invite to any formal parties. He’s far more comfortable outside or with the common folk where no one really cares if he speaks his mind rather than hiding his meaning beneath fancy words and lies.<br/><br/>In combat he has a tendency to lose himself to battle frenzy and is always able to find enjoyment when he fights a strong opponent. Despite his enjoyment of a good fight, what really defines him is his willingness to defend those close to him. He puts theirs and others safety above his own and even if it’s foolish he’ll charge in without thinking.<br/><br/><strong>Zanpakuto:</strong>Faolchú<br/><br/>Seilg Faolchú<br/><br/>Unreleased: Unreleased, Conall’s Zanpakuto takes the form of an Irish ring sword. It has a blade length of 37 inches with a width slightly greater than which tapers to a fine point giving it some thrusting power but the blade’s design leaves better for cutting. The hilt is long enough to be held in both hands and has a simple leather wrap with a simple cross guard. The only real distinctive feature of the blade is its pommel, a ring slightly wider than a circle with the sword’s tang running through it that’s capped off at the end of the pommel.<br/><br/>Released: When released his zanpukto changes into a long spear. The shaft of the spear is black, eight feet long, and etched with Celtic runes encircling the shaft. The spearhead is 14 inches long with a wavy pattern allowing it to easily slide into the opponents. The edges of the blade are sharp enough to cut but its main use is for thrusting. In its released form Conall’s zanpakuto has the ability to release seismic waves upon impact dramatically increasing the force of his blows. The seismic waves have a myriad of other uses. It can be used to do things like create small earthquakes to unbalance opponents or focused to generate a wave of earth and stone to fire at his opponent.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Before Conall joined WESS he lived in one of the lower districts with his sister Caitlin. There he took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger sister. That meant doing whatever he could to keep her safe and when the siblings started to get hungry that meant doing what he had to in order to feed them. He raided several smaller gangs that terrorized various districts taking whatever money and food they had stolen to feed him and his sister. His actions also had the beneficial side effect of earning him the praise of some of the populace. It was this that initially drew the interest of WESS but he wasn't brought to the academy until after trying to take on a group of shinigami recruits in search for food that he and his sister had the potential to become shinigami themselves.<br/><br/>In the academy Conall knew that some of the others would look down on him and his sister due to being from one of the poorer districts. He and his sister had struggle and he wouldn't stand for those who looked down on them to insult either him or his sister. Whenever he thought that someone was insulting them he wouldn't hesitate to start a fight. In the end both he and his sister graduated.

Matthis stands at 6'4"" tall with dark blue eyes and tan skin. He has slightly grey hair that he attributes to his years of stress from hunting the enemies of his former masters. He dresses in a set of full plate armor that oddly does little to restrict his movements. The armor itself is a layer of chainmail, followed by large metal plates that are white with red trim and crosses in them. His head is left exposed and a cape hangs off his shoulders.

If while serving a master he finds something to be a-miss, Matthis will directly confront the situation and express his concern.

The base of the blade is serrated up until about half way up where it is razor sharp. The tip is clearly made for digging into metal and flesh.

The third changes his sword to pure light and allows him to use a ranged attack of pure light, however it takes time to charge so Matthis tends to use the illusion trick before charging the blade itself.<br/>Feu glows a dim red and emits a great amount of heat. When the blade strikes something fire flows from the blade for a moment leaving slight burns.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>While not a direct member of any of the noble houses Matthis comes from a long line of Paladin's that served as the protectors to the noble families. As such he has always been treated with a level of respect within WESS. He was raised to be an adviser and guard. Matthis has always worked to uphold justice and the law of his masters.

Six decades before he reached adulthood. While his body may have formed and developed more slowly than that of his human counterparts, the end result was something superior. Not only did was his lifespan almost triple that of a human's, but his mixed outsider blood granted several other benefits as well. For him, it was tougher skin that more difficult to inflict injury upon, as well as being resistant to fire. His eyes could see perfectly in pitch black darkness, not to mention that he also had a long flexible tail that proved to be rather handy in retrieving items off his person.<br/><br/>With strengths, there is always weakness, always a con to a pro. That stronger skin took the form of scales that covered most of his body. And that long prehensile tail? Well it was obvious indeed. His eyes were red with black slitted pupils, like those of a pit viper. Then there was his sharp pointed teeth, and while the were not bigger than those of a human, each of them ended in a sharp point. All of these things made him different, betrayed the truth of his blood to those around him.<br/><br/>The adults tended to simply ignore him, or simply look the other way. While the children, the children delighted in taking ever opportunity to bully him. They were sure he understood that he was a taint upon the land that needed to be cleansed. It didn't take him long to figure out that going into town alone was usually a bad idea. So he would spend most of his time at home, or playing in the trees and rivers of the neighboring forest.<br/><br/>His family lived on the edge of a large farming community in a rather large house, just the three of them. His mother is a Half-Elven Dervish Dancer, while his father is a Tiefling Wizard. Both parents holding some renown as adventurers, this resulted in a bit of traveling in the first thirty years of his life, before his parents ""retired"" to the farming town he eventually grew to dislike. Those years of travel ignited the spark of adventure within him. That dormant spark being passed down by his parents, which they made sure to awaken as early as possible. Afterall adventuring was going to be the best future for a tiefling.<br/><br/>He was raised upon stories of his parents' past adventures, always eager to hear more. And while he assisted them as much as he could during their traveling adventures, they always made sure he was kept out of any real danger. Each of them passing down knowledge and training that would form a good foundation for his eventual future career. From the moment he could walk, his mother taught him to dance, the fluid dervish dance, how to lose yourself in the dance and forget your worries. The dancing was a way for mother and son to further bond, spending time together with a shared interest.<br/><br/>The innocence of the dancing was shattered after the events of a single day when he was 48(about 12 in human years). They had bee visiting the town mainstreet as they often did, and as he often did, he wandered away from his parents to explore while they concluded their business. It seemed to be just the opportunity an older boy of 15 tried to take advantage of. He was attacked, the bully rushing at him with a dagger. His quick reactions only partially protected him as the dagger found it's into his bicep. That was when several things happened at once, the area around him became darker as he pushed the boy away with a hard punch to his jaw. He then fled in the opposite direction. His parents were not far away, his mother immediately removed the dagger and healed the wound with her bardic magic. His father barely kept himself from finding the bully and seeking revenge for his son..<br/><br/>As soon as they were home, his mother began training him on how to defend himself. He was given the short sword she started her adventures with and taught in it's use. A short week later he was being shown how to blend the swordplay with the once innocent dance steps he knew so well. The dancing had only been the first part of a rather effective combination. It was revealed that the dervish dance was potent lethal technique that was intended more for combat, than entertainment. The perfect technique in which to defend himself with. She confessed that she feared that something would happen, so had started building the puzzle of his self defense early. She hoped he'd never need the final pieces, but after the dagger incident, it was time to complete the puzzle.<br/><br/>Growing up he spent just as much time by his father's side as he did his mother's. While he was not to bother his father during study time, his father always made time for him. Even at a young age, he had a passion for magic and was always eager for his father to show him something. The older he got, the more his father taught him, the more books he was allowed to read and study. One by one each cantrip was practiced with and perfected. Only taking a break after the dagger incident to focus on using his own natural ability for springing up a patch of darkness when needed. Once that too was perfected, did his cantrips training continue. His father also taught him how to hide the more obvious parts of his body that revealed his mixed blood. What clothing would best hide his scaly skin and that long tail, to always keep his mouth covered, and lastly, his father gave him a tinted pair of goggles for his eyes.<br/><br/>His home was a sanctuary in a town that feared and hated him for his mixed blood. He was eager to begin his adventuring career, and while he was sad to leave his home, he happily left the town. His parents discuss with him at length what his initial plans were, the advised visiting an old friend who lived in Absalom. So that is exactly what he did, he traveled to Absalom and got in touch with someone who had been like an uncle to him. An asimar magus was to be his tutor as he joined the Pathfinder Society, a good family friend and a former member of his parents' adventuring party. He reunited with his 'uncle,' spending the better part of three decades merging the arcane and martial foundations his parents had made sure to give him. While he spent most of his time studying under his uncle, the Society was open to him. When not at his uncle's side learning further techniques, he split his time between the vast library and the weapon training grounds.<br/><br/>Shortly before his training completely, he began experimenting on his own, discovering a technique to us his mixed blood to further fuel his arcane magic. Once his apprenticeship was completed, he was given his first mission. He was to be shipped off to Magnimar and told to help the Venture Captain with whatever she needed. His new assignment came complete with a letter from the Varisia Venture Captain herself."

It is good to have a language that is spoken by everyone. Where I grew up, in far, far away Tian Xia, the rice farmer spoke one dialect, the woodcutter another, and the lord spoke a different language entirely. And of course, when I was sent to live with the monks when I was very small, they prayed and meditated in yet another tongue. It was very boring sometimes for a little girl, you know? And the monastery was high in the hills, in the middle of one forest, flanked by two rivers, and surrounded by three mountains. There was a new view everywhere you looked, if only you opened your eyes, but the monks, they liked to keep them closed. Focus on your prayers and meditation, they told me. Ha! When no one was looking, which was a lot of the time, I would open my eyes and play a little quiet game with my imaginary friend. Shelyn, she told me her name was. We would try to see something new and exciting, perhaps a wandering insect all brilliant and blue in the courtyard, perhaps the bamboo stalks performing their wind dance in the mountains, perhaps the cloud paintings in the sky. It wasn't an easy game; I knew all there was to know about the monastery and the surrounding land in less than a year, and it got harder and harder to find something new! If it weren't for my friend I don't know how I would have coped with the monotony. She told me she had the same problem, only the entire world was her monastery and there was no escape. How horrible! Anyways, we eventually made a deal. I would seek out interesting, beautiful things so she could experience fresh wonder through me.

His agile ability were almost created for picking locks and sneaking about.<br/><br/>Character History: Runt never knew his parents, actually he never met an elf till he was 20, growing up first as the adopted child of a Cheliaxian sage. Before he was 12, he was taken as payment for a debt. By the time he was 20, he had run away from his master five times before finally getting away in Abaslon. He wandered the Inner Sea, meeting his first elf and moving along. For the next century, he moved about again and again. Osirion, Taldor, Chelliax, Quadira and finally Varisa where he earned a field commission with the Pathfinder society for his skill as a 'sneak' and 'locksmith'. Arriving in Magmimar, he has decided to end his endless wandering and try and make a place for himself.<br/><br/>Character Appearance:  Ever youthful, Runt dresses to blend in with the working class of any area he is in, trying to blend in with the human thongs around him. Very little beyond his green-gold eyes and pointed ears point towards his elven heritage, and to be truthful he bears himself as a human. He speaks common (and Elvish) with the accent of someone from Abaslon (his most common point of origin).<br/><br/>Character Personality: Runt is looking for a place in the world. He's too 'human' to fit in with the few elves he's met and too 'elven' to remain in the human world he grew up in. How do you live in one place, when all you love and know will age and die in a handful of years. He masks the pain and loss in a sharp wit and love of drink. He plans to use the massive libraries of the Magmimar lodge to learn more of his heritage and build something that lasts more than a generation. In many ways, he's a human trapped in an elven body.<br/><br/><hr/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Character</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Runt<br/>Male Elf Rogue 1<br/>CG Medium Humanoid (elf)<br/>Init +3; Senses low-light vision; Perception +6<br/>--------------------<br/>Defense<br/>--------------------<br/>AC 15, touch 13, flat-footed 12 (+2 armor, +3 Dex)<br/>hp 9 (1d8+1)<br/>Fort +1, Ref +5, Will +0; +2 vs. enchantments<br/>Immune magic sleep; Resist elven immunities<br/>--------------------<br/>Offense<br/>--------------------<br/>Speed 30 ft.<br/>Melee Dart +3 (1d4+1/x2) and<br/>   Rapier +3 (1d6+1/18-20/x2)<br/>Ranged Shortbow +3 (1d6/x3)<br/>Special Attacks sneak attack +1d6<br/>--------------------<br/>Statistics<br/>--------------------<br/>Str 12, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 11, Cha 10<br/>Base Atk +0; CMB +1; CMD 14<br/>Feats Weapon Finesse<br/>Traits Arcane Dabbler (Mage Hand) (1/day) (Sp), Magical Talent (Prestidigitation) (1/day) (Sp)<br/>Skills Acrobatics +7, Bluff +4, Climb +5, Disable Device +8, Knowledge (local) +6, Linguistics +6, Perception +6 (+7 to locate traps), Sense Motive +4, Sleight of Hand +7, Stealth +7, Use Magic Device +4; Racial Modifiers +2 Perception<br/>Languages Common, Draconic, Elven, Goblin, Varisian<br/>SQ elven magic, trapfinding +1<br/>Combat Gear Caltrops; Other Gear Leather armor, Arrows (20), Dart (10), Rapier, Shortbow, Backpack (33 @ 49 lbs), Bedroll, Belt pouch (3 @ 3 lbs), Flint and steel, Grappling hook, Mess kit, Mirror, Piton (10), Pot, Rope, Soap, Thieves' tools, Torch (10), Trail rations (5), Waterskin, 31 GP, 2 SP, 9 CP<br/>--------------------<br/>Special Abilities<br/>--------------------<br/>Elven Immunities +2 save bonus vs Enchantments.<br/>Elven Immunities - Sleep You are immune to magic sleep effects.<br/>Elven Magic +2 to spellcraft checks to determine the properties of a magic item.<br/>Low-Light Vision See twice as far as a human in low light, distinguishing color and detail.<br/>Magical Talent (Prestidigitation) (1/day) (Sp) Choose one 0-level spell - it becomes a 1/day spell-like ability for you.<br/>Sneak Attack +1d6 +1d6 damage if you flank your target or your target is flat-footed.<br/>Trapfinding +1 Gain a bonus to find or disable traps, including magical ones.<br/><br/></div></div>"

Black studded leather armor sat under a large likewise black cloak while his feet found themselves within high heeled leather boots of a matching hue. Atop his head sat a black wide-brimmed hat. His face was obscured by a black scarf that had been pulled up to catch on the bridge of his nose while goggles with tinted lenses masked his eyes. A short sword could be glimpsed from beneath the cloak, sheathed at his left hip. As his cloak shifted, a large sturdy leather bound tome could be spied secured at his right hip.

The city hadn't changed too radically, though the faces had changed vastly. The names on the sides of a building have changed and the districts had .. progressed as they always had but most tellingly of the dozens of faces he'd once seen here, only six remained. Vastly aged while he remained the same. He fingered the ornately embroided kapenia that he had been carrying with him so long. It was a gift from his adoptive parents so so long ago. It was a helpful tool for finding adoptive kin, but only reminded the forlorn elf that his family had vastly changed while he walked the Inner Sea looking for a place.<br/><br/>""My apologies.. I was looking for kin upon my arrival from Riddleport. I have missives and notes for the Venture Captain, as well as a letter of introduction from Absalon.""

Normally races which can be achieved at 10th level through quest and ritual.<br/><strong>Starting equipment:</strong>You start the game with single magic item up to 8,000gp worth. But this item cannot be never sold to anyone and is bound to your account to point that it does not transfer to your spouse's bank if you die. It's unique named item upon player's choice.<br/><br/>To qualify to above you need to have at least 3 paragraphs of background, which one paragraph must at least describe how serious geek you are about gaming, DnD or general geek lifestyle. Then 2 paragraphs about your betatest experience and how you helped improve the game or give it suggestions and ideas what it would need to fix (some changes may or may not had been implanted in the game). Final paragraph must deal with why you choose your char or class or generally describe your first login experience (do not write logging out as game starts from that point when you have entered DnD Online). Total number of paragraphs; 6. Paragraph is general 4-5 lines of text for me.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>House/Game Rules</strong></span><br/><br/>-Mana Points: A 3.5 sourced material spell points are in use. Here is a link (http://dungeons.wikia.com/wiki/UA:Spell_Points) for it. With following adjustments; Sorcerers do not prepare spells, they know them. To compensate lack of flexibility they get x2 amount of listed spell points. Also using metamagic feats on spells are not limited by 'max spell level known. You can empower magic missile in first level if you can pay spell points to do so. Also spell point variant: Vitalizing is in use (so spellcasters can get tired when their spell point pools go low). There is going to be magic items in game which recover spell points and also locations where spell point recovery is increased or hindered. There are 'mana potions' on sale in shops which can be compared to cure potions in cost wise. They 'cure' spell points equal to half of the cure value of similar priced HP curing potion.<br/><br/>-Crafting: Craft skill is needed to make things, but profession skill is needed to know what materials are needed to craft something. Profession describes general IC knowledge 'what herb I mix with another herb to make healing potion?' as craft details 'how well I mix herbs in alchemy'. So to be master cook you need both craft:cooking and profession:cook ranks. In case of materials which are not found killing mobs, profession check is used to harvest the material.<br/><br/>-Magic items: NPC shops sells magic items, but they are capped on 1,000gp x layer level in cost. So at best shops sell +2 swords in final layer. So overall player base is depended onto any magic goods most cases if not count items sold from the bosses which are exceptional.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">House ruled Pathfinder classes</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Summoner</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Because you can enter this advanced class as cleric or sorcerer, summoner haves all cure spells of cleric in their spell list (get them on same level as cleric does).

There she's outspoken, aggressive about her beliefs, and willing to do anything to make sure that others follow her beliefs, willing even resort to bodily violence to make sure that others also adhere to the rule of law and the stability of the game.</div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Background</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">From a very young age, Eli had always been interested in computers--and especially gaming. Naturally a shy, quiet girl, she was often bullied by her peers which led her to becoming insular and submissive, and often stayed silent, cried, and ran away when she was teased by both the girls and boys at school. Her parents were rarely around, both of them business people who had important jobs running companies outside the country. And when they were home, they were authoritative and unwilling to bend the rules, often criticizing Eli for not having the best grades, bringing friends over, and more. But that never happened in the games she played. She could be anyone she every wanted to be! A fairy princess, a mage of incredible power, or a mighty barbarian queen, all of these were roles she picked up and put down, and each time came the same feeling of catharsis, as though she was accepted and wanted.<br/><br/>The years continued to pass this way, every season Eli becoming more and more engrossed in the video games she played, especially in RPGs where she could pick up any role and be who she wanted to be, rather than who she was. But one day, the fateful event happened.<br/><br/>Seeing the large villa her parents had, a gang of criminals entered her home in the dead of night and began to take the various valuables and paintings Eli's parents had strewn about the place. Waking from the noise, Eli's father went down to investigate. A fight broke out, and Eli's mother went down to see what happened. In the ensuing struggle, both of her parents were killed while Eli hid beneath her bed and waited. The police found her the next morning, silently crying beneath the bed, the house turned upside down and bereft of everything that made it a home.<br/><br/>That was five years ago. Eli, now 17, lives in a small apartment after having dropped out of school, living her life within through the computer on a paltry unemployment and disability pay, having no clue that her family inheritance continues to grow under the watchful eye of the bank. She rarely leaves the house, and has few friends except for the landlady who takes pity upon the girl and often visits with food and offers to go out with her. But Eli always refuses. Instead, she dives headfirst into her games, especially MMORPGs where she allows her conviction and pent out anger loose. If only the robbers hadn't been there. If only her parents hadn't fought against them. Everything would have been alright. And thus she often tries her best to protect the stability of her environment, enforcing the laws of society in an aggressive manner that belies her real life personality. When people talk about disorder she speaks up and shouts them down. When witnessing a crime, she rushes forward, protecting NPCs and players alike against the depredation of in-game criminals.<br/><br/>Due to her abrasive nature in-game, Eli garners few friends. But her hours of practice make her a fierce combatant, and the few guilds that invited her found her to be a strong defensive character whose skill was impressive, especially so due to the fact that she had subpar equipment from having farmed dungeons less than most.<br/><br/>Eli was immediately drawn to this new game. Complete immersion? A chance to be someone else fully, not just within a monitor. Once inside, it was everything she had hoped it would be. Eli, now Ren, quickly advanced within the games, her determination leading her close to death innumerable times as she fought against creatures far above her level only to win by the skin of her teeth. And even if she died occasionally, that was fine, right? After all, she would just return a moment later to continue her progression. Often a sight patrolling the cities within the game, Eli gave scathing reviews of bugs she encountered, especially loopholes where other players were able to attack or kill NPCs that should have been virtually invulnerable or players in what should have otherwise been safe zones.<br/><br/>She gave the more magical classes a try, but never connected to them. Even the rogue or the fighter didn't appeal to her. She needed to be able to protect people, not just be able to kill enemies with a few attacks. Thus she settled upon one of the tankier classes that was released halfway through the beta, and stuck with it. It <em>felt</em> right, the Crusader class, being able to soak up the damage of those she fought while at the same time her modest damage taking down people in time, if not immediately. And that was what she stayed with all the way to the end of the beta...<br/><br/><em>She looked down at herself. Her body, adorned in chain mail. The heavy steel-tipped boots beneath her. The comfortable weight of the gauntlets in her hands. A longsword strapped to her hip along with a few daggers, a shield on the other side, and a long glaive on her back. Yes, this was what she had been waiting for. She was herself... yet not herself. Stronger, faster, not as clumsy, immune to the colds and fevers that sometimes oppressed her in the ""real"" world. She was at home. She hefted her glaive slowly, admiring its weight and confirming in her own mind once more its weight along with the blade at the end. A breeze picked up, playing with her hair and rustling through her senses. She was home.</em></div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>DnD Online Avatar</strong><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/GhostwheelX/Misc/A06bw400b.jpg)</div><strong>Race:</strong>Human<br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong>Ren</strong> (http://www.rpgcrossing.com/profiler/view.php?id=41942)</span><br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Original<br/><strong>Body:</strong>Original<br/><strong>Class:</strong>Crusader"

while he acted it out, having a good base attack and strength made fighting feel much easier, like the enemies were moving slowly enough for his amateur swings to connect.  As a rogue, details were much more noticeable, while enemies were much more likely to be looking away from him if his stealth was good.  And casting magic was interesting as well; he had to chant and wave his arms, but was free to make it up, follow a script, even follow a simple rhythm game for bards.  Feeling the surge of energy run through his body was like nothing he could feel outside of the game, so when it came time to make his first real character outside of beta, he knew it would be a magic user.<br/><br/>As a tester reward, he decided to try out an exclusive race, a kitsune.  They had a very magical feel, and he felt like being a little tricksy even as he chose to play a sorcerer.  The sheer volume of magical power was fulfilling, and would hopefully last him through most situations.  While he had tried several different avatars in his testing, including females to see how they handled, he chose a very attractive, sexy style for his kitsune, deciding he'd enjoy getting some attention to his advantage besides skills and magic spells.  In the character creation, he spent a lot of time getting each detail just right, making his own fantasy girl.  When he finally logged in, he was very satisfied, feeling both the magical power thrum through her body, and how sexy she both looked and felt in her little kimono.  She could even change between her sexy regular human body, and her true golden-brown kitsune form.  It was strange feeling her own muzzle, the fur was very soft and nice, and having a tail swish around was very disconcerting.  It needed a lot of practice to control, and without concentration it tended to move on its own, flashing her bottom or knocking into things, even if she was supposed to be human!  After a brief checkup, she couldn't wait to go talk to some NPCs and see if she recognized a quest she could complete through seduction.  Turning off the mature content filter, she set off to explore the world anew.</div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://th04.deviantart.net/fs20/PRE/i/2009/181/1/e/Kitsune_by_Pechan.jpg)</div><strong>DnD Online Avatar</strong><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong>MOSHI</strong> (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=620053)</span><br/><strong>Race:</strong>Kitsune<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Body:</strong><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Digital</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Hard bondage<br/>http://www.hentai-foundry.com/pictures/user/Ganassa/187725/Ahri-FoxFire-Hard-Bondage (http://www.hentai-foundry.com/pictures/user/Ganassa/187725/Ahri-FoxFire-Hard-Bondage)<br/>White hair moon<br/>http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120211072556/powerlisting/images/d/dc/Kitsune.jpg (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120211072556/powerlisting/images/d/dc/Kitsune.jpg)<br/>Human mask<br/>http://th04.deviantart.net/fs20/PRE/i/2009/181/1/e/Kitsune_by_Pechan.jpg (http://th04.deviantart.net/fs20/PRE/i/2009/181/1/e/Kitsune_by_Pechan.jpg)<br/>Heart<br/>http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31500000/Kitsune-kami-kitsune-okami-realm-31552099-1377-685.jpg (http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31500000/Kitsune-kami-kitsune-okami-realm-31552099-1377-685.jpg)<br/>Mime<br/>http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070228215554/finalfantasy/images/7/7f/FFT_Mime.gif (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070228215554/finalfantasy/images/7/7f/FFT_Mime.gif)<br/>Garter<br/>http://www.hentai-foundry.com/pictures/user/DAQ/125022/Fox-Box-colored (http://www.hentai-foundry.com/pictures/user/DAQ/125022/Fox-Box-colored)<br/>Bondage<br/>http://www.hentai-foundry.com/pictures/user/Foxxetta/129358/Shackles-of-Love (http://www.hentai-foundry.com/pictures/user/Foxxetta/129358/Shackles-of-Love)<br/>Alter self<br/>http://www.hentai-foundry.com/pictures/user/barraqda/135942/COMMISSION---Fox-Fennec-Shemale (http://www.hentai-foundry.com/pictures/user/barraqda/135942/COMMISSION---Fox-Fennec-Shemale)</div></div><strong>Class(es):</strong>Sorcerer 1"

If he watched the show ""The Big Bang Theory"", he might feel a kinship rather than the estrangement he generally feels. This is not to say he's Sheldon, Leonard, or any of the other characters, he's more like an amalgamation of Sheldon, Mr. Monk (from the show of the same name), and that kid you know who got sick every other week in school. He's most certainly obsessive-compulsive, entirely a hypochondriac, and borderline autistic. He does not understand social conventions and mores, nor does he wish to. He communicates with others only as much as his needs require, and in fact actively avoids situations which require words beyond ""Number 7 meal, large, diet coke"", or ""Paper.""<br/><br/>Online is another matter. Sort of. He has no qualms about typing to other people to cooperate towards a common goal, and finds interaction there at least easier. He doesn't go out of his way to group, but based on his character's skillset and his own affinity for it, he is in fair demand. He likes being the one sneaking about behind the scenes, stabbing from behind, staying in the periphery while others hold the spotlight. It suits him.

Raised by parents who were too busy to generally care about his idiosyncrasies beyond making sure to cut his bread square, there wasn't all that much at home to spark his interest. Not particularly intelligent, and certainly not enough to make up for his difficulties with people, he was relegated to network administration as an adult. It suits him, he only has to correspond with people in the ether, in cyberspace, and not face to face except under the direst of circumstances. Again, he likes it this way. The server room and his office are cleaned solely by him and they remain spotless. His boss telephones rather than having face to face meetings, because Christian asked very nicely and prefers it, and the boss doesn't want to deal with him anyway. Let the ""freak"" stay in his office. Were his superiors not concerned about a lawsuit, Christian seeming like the type to do so, they would have fired him already, but the work was above average and downtime was generally unheard of. Aside from the anal-retentive demand for password strength and updates on the system, he was a model employee.<br/><br/>At current he lives alone in an apartment barely large enough to walk around in, with no pets except a Roomba. He has no girlfriend, though he thinks he's heterosexual. He finds the entire concept of closeness and intimacy foreign, and only went to prom and other social events because he was required to by his parents. His only social obligations at current are online, he debates comic books on forums and talks about game mechanics and their shortcomings. </div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q0QNBCARBBg/TfjE_92eJFI/AAAAAAAAAUc/_b0H7MSOaSI/s320/Human_Rogue_by_TheDjib.jpg)</div><strong>DnD Online Avatar</strong><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong>Jonas Greve</strong> (http://Filled In Later)</span><br/><strong>Race:</strong>Human<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Male<br/><strong>Body:</strong>Digital, human male slightly older in age, with dark hair to contrast with his own.<br/><strong>Class:</strong>Rogue (Poisoner) 1<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Character Sheet</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Jonas Greve</strong><br/>Human (Chelaxian) Rogue (Poisoner) 1<br/>N Medium Humanoid (human)<br/><strong>Init </strong>+5; <strong>Senses </strong>Perception +5<br/>--------------------<br/><strong>Defense</strong><br/>--------------------<br/><strong>AC </strong>18, touch 15, flat-footed 13 (+3 armor, +5 Dex)<br/><strong>hp </strong>10 (1d8+2)<br/><strong>Fort </strong>+2, <strong>Ref </strong>+7, <strong>Will </strong>+2<br/>--------------------<br/><strong>Offense</strong><br/>--------------------<br/><strong>Speed </strong>30 ft.<br/><strong>Melee </strong>Dagger +3 (1d4+1/19-20/x2) and<br/>. .

Those that could not do sports or that chose not to join band. Jay was nearly always the GM for whatever game he decided he wanted to play. Far more intelligent than any character he played, Jay was content to smash things with an axe most of the time while offering out of character tactical help to his friends, most of which chose to RP characters whose intelligence exceeded his own modest score which he pegged at 12.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Background</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Jay's interest in roleplaying started with his favorite game (and one for which he was probably the only person in the known universe that showed it favor) Final Fantasy 9. What initially drew Jay into roleplaying was the art in the books. Being a freshman in high school, and a virgin, he'd take even drawings of girls dressed in the sluttiest of clothing. His first purchase was the Player's Handbook, followed by the other two cores from WotC. Jay's first adventure was a modern day game styled after Guardians of the Flame by Joel Rosenberg, but with a twist: Gamers going to a convention were attacked on the airline by a Blue Dragon. Granted, this one was a small blue dragon and he vastly undershot the HP of the plane, not to mention the fact that planes don't really fly all that well with gaping holes... but that was more of a player survival issue.<br/><br/>Jay was realy nervous about women at the time. Though he had two girls in the group, he wasn't attracted to either of them. The only girl to ever ask him out he denied on the grounds of being to poor to take her out on dates properly. Anyway Jay went on to implement numerous house rules that he ended up seeing done in future versions of the games, but since he never told anyone about them, and the writers expressed it better than he did, Jay didn't care too much.<br/><br/>Dungeons and Dragons sparked his interest in houseruling things as well. Jay made a superhero system and delved into GURPS and Mongoose Publishing. One of the most formative books of Jay's gaming career was The Quentessential Barbarian. Of the ideas that weren't broken, Jay would favor equipments or individual feats. It also had good art too.<br/><br/>When he could not find a job after graduation, Jay went to a counselor at DHS for Spina Bifida. By that time he had 10 or 11 books for 3rd edition. He was informed of a school in hot springs that would help him get a job. Jay went in to become an Accounting Clerk. The school was not accredited for that and Jay could not even take an entry level position with his knowledge. He had passed the course easily, the only thing new that he had been taught was double entry accounting. His Microsoft Office documents were actually used for grading others. The teachers didn't know as much about the programs as he did. He was able to help people training to be <em>medical transcriptionists</em> with his office knowledge. That's how much of a joke the school was.<br/><br/>As a side note, he did find much better gamers. One of his friends played the barbarian, so he went to a rogue. Another played a cleric, pretty consistently. By this time, more members of the general populace were finding their gaming niche. He needed a wizard though. It was difficult with a GMPC (gamed <em>fairly</em> anyway, he had the first rogue end up getting killed by a trap). He switched to a ranger, but soon decided he didn't like it. The game fell through. There was a long running Final Fantasy game that he enjoyed well but it didn't involve d20.<br/><br/>Finally as his disability went through due to the government finally taking notice, he got into an income based place and got the lowest internet he could afford. He barely had enough to live on but he could not stand up long enough or lift anything heavy enough to actually have a decent job.<br/><br/>Then he heard about the Dungeons and Dragons Online game. He was skeptical at first with the 10 level limit, but decided on trying it out once they expanded to 20 and got the headset, he decided to come in on the beta testing for the headset.  As a beta tester, he was allowed to design his own custom +2 weapon. Deciding to go for a little bit of characterization, he decided that his barbarian tribe (all of the NPCs of which had simple spears) gave a ""Dragontooth Spear"", which had the stats of a glaive, to ""those that proved themselves worthy"". Jay had a clear image in his head of what he wanted the character to look like, straight out of the Quintessential barbarian. After fiddling quite some time, he got the character to look very near what the original character looked like. Jay experimented a bit, wiping the floor with the local orcs, and found out that they were able to produce tactile sensations across his body by firing electrodes at certain parts of his brain. His fist punched something, the knuckles hurt. he got cut, he felt a sharp pain. Thankfully there was no physical cut, but this was cool! Jay was hooked!</div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/bd/Iona-Cut-off.jpg)</div><strong>DnD Online Avatar</strong><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong>Iona Dragonshard</strong> (http://plothook.net/RPG/profiler/view.php?id=12578=620053)</span><br/><strong>Race:</strong>Human<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/>Class(es):[/b] Savage Barbarian (Archetype) 1<br/>"

(this);"" role=""button"">Personality</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Aliya's normally a very quiet and soft-spoken young woman.  This is not because she doesn't get along with people, in fact quite the opposite, in spite of her geekiness.  Yes, she got picked on growing up, but this just made her a kinder hearted individual.  She looks out for those that need it, whether because they're younger, or because they're just as nerdy as she was in school.<br/><br/>Along with the attention to those 'weaker' than she is, comes a natural inquisitiveness about people in general.  Whether it's people she meets in rel life, or people she's adventuring with in game, she likes to know about those closest to her, even to the point of seeming like she's prying into people's personal lives or backstories.</div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Background</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Aliya's parents were both gamers of various games, and in fact admit that Aliya's conception was the result of an... extension of a LARP session with a group of friends that was carried on into private settings.  They introduced her to roleplaying games at an early age, taking her along to events once she was old enough to understand what was going on.  So her early childhood was spent playing this person's child or this NPCs baby sister.  She threw herself into each role with particular gusto, especially for a child her age.  This was only supplemented by the fact that her parents did everything they could to get her an exposure to theatre and the acting arts.<br/><br/>This continued through her school years, where she joined every single drama club and school play or production she could.  Several times she beat out other students that had better looks, that didn't look quite so nerdy, but that didn't have quite the repertoire of personality archetypes that Aliya did.  This of course led to some questions about disociative (sp?) personality disorder, but no tests were ever done, because her parents knew it was simply a part of how she had grown up early on.<br/><br/>Middle school is where things really began to pick up for her.  When she was in seventh grade, she started a small after-school club for gamers, and children of gamers.  Within the first three months, it turned into a regular meetup for discussion of new games and editions that were coming out, and then a large group game, revolving from week to week through Dungeons and Dragons, Exalted, White Wolf, and other such tabletop RPGs.  She carried the club through eighth grade, when she got one of the English teachers to agree to sponsor the club, so that it would remain going once she left for high school.<br/><br/>She and the club members in the same grade brought the club with them, at least the premise, when they all went to high school.  They spent their club meetings playing old tabletops, testing new ones, and in general working on all things gaming.  When Aliya got into playing RIFT, it added a new level, and once a month, one meeting would be devoted to all the members meeting in the computer lab and playing together.  This led them to a small LARP, or Live-Action RolePlaying, group in their community, that met once a month at the local game store to play Live Action Vampire.  She carried these interests through her graduation, and still attends the monthly meetings of the LARP group.<br/><br/>RIFT, however, led her into the avenue of MMORPGs.  Within a few months of graduation, she had three active accounts for MMOs, one for RIFT, one for World of Warcraft, and one for Cryptic Entertainment, which gave her access to Neverwinter Online and Star Trek Online.  However, none of these really fit her MMO desires, though Neverwinter was by far the closest.  She kept looking, and eventually whittled everything down, until she was only ever playing RIFT or Neverwinter.  SHe dabbled in others, Aion, Guild Wars 2, and other such MMOs, but it was never more than a month of trial before she abandoned them.<br/><br/>This went on until she found out about Dungeons and Dragons Online, the fully immersive next level MMO.  She immediately signed up as a candidate for beta testing, and was thrilled beyond belief when the equipment was delivered to her home a week later.  She did extensive work with some of the more martial classes, even suggesting several talents that should be made available to them that didn't exactly make sense at first glance, but when you looked at everything the class was capable of, they made more sense than some of the other options.  She was also one of the ones responsible for the red/yellow mark system, taking great delight in pushing the combat engine to its limits by going after anyone and everyone she could, in town and out of town.<br/><br/>When the game launched, however, she found she'd grown tired of the martial aspect of the game, and decided that it was time to step into the back ranks of combat, but Ranger didn't really appeal to her.  So when she received her codes for Beta Tester benefits, she settled on the Summoner, a class that had a companion of its own, but one that could grow more and more powerful as the character did, and that had multiple options for complete customization than the Ranger's pet.  She also decided that it was time to go a little different on appearance, and based her new character off a few sketches she herself had done, which also meant that other beta testers wouldn't necessarily recognize her right off.</div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>DnD Online Avatar</strong><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong>KRISTA

Home to the world's largest naval base and a variety of cultures and subcultures to rival that of any other major metropolitan area. With lovely beaches, fabulous dining, and a night life scene to be envied, it really doesn't get the credit it deserves. You would know, you live there. Or at least close enough that you say Norfolk, few enough people know Hampton, Portsmouth, Elizabeth City or any of the other myriad towns that make up the greater Hampton Roads area. Situated just far enough from the seat of influence held by the Seers of the Throne in D.C., it has been a staging ground for a number of attempted assaults to take back the country from those who seek to mire the populace in the lie that keeps them believing that there are no miracles, no heroes, and that magic is dead. Some of you grew up believing the Lie and have only recently become aware of its hypocrisy. Others have known for some time that the world is far larger than you thought it was, holding many a wondrous and frightening being like yourself within itself. Regardless of all these things, you somehow found your way to the area and are gathered for yet another meeting of the consilium. Moving as it does from time to time, this meeting is being disguised as a performance of the Symphony Orchestra at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk, this will allow those of you who look as though you'd attend such a function to arrive through the front doors as if you should be there, and those of you less prim and proper to make a hasty entrance through a service door or side entrance. People rarely take notice of these things, and being mere blocks from a mall and innumerable parking structures allows for a hasty exit and scattering should anything befall you.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>Inside</strong><br/>There is more than enough seating inside for all the mages of the area, as well as for those of consilium office on stage. They aren't particularly trying to lord their status over the others, it merely helps if they're on a raised platform and can see everyone. A buffet table has been set up in the orchestra pit with hors' douvres set out. They find these meetings better attended if there are snacks, and in the current world they can spare a little especially for those of their number downtrodden by fiscal crisis or unemployment. The last thing they need is for a mage to draw attention by performing vulgar acts just to be able to put food on the table. The Heirarch, a ""Mr. Rogers"", though whether that be his name or a pseudonym is uncertain; certainly none have ever tried workings against him that functioned, is up on stage and looking very little like his namesake. He's a rather rotund gentleman of some forty years, with enough hair to not require combing over but probably set in that style anyway, and the fashion of a college professor regardless of whether he was one or not. The various Councilors are assembled as well, and to some degree known by those within their orders. Along with the Heirarch within the Silver Ladder sits ""Bella"", a pale woman unfortunate enough to earn the name after a horrible conflux of bad luck pitted her against a werewolf and a vampire, both of whom she readily handled with a mastery of matter turning bullets to silver, and then dissolving the vampire in a deluge of improvised napalm. From the Free Council come ""Jekyll"", a Mastigos and goetic study with more than enough bulk to be his own Hyde, a la Biff from back to the future, and ""Doctor When"", an Acanthus tech-mage, notorious for horrible puns and knowing things that he shouldn't know. The Arrow rounds out the council with its member in ""Red"", a man who has the skin tone rather than the hair color of his sobriquet, a remnant of the Cherokee people who fled to Virginia in ages past. He's one of the older mages present and for a man of his age looks spectacular. Perhaps it owes itself to his legacy, a Perfected Adept, and one who is known to take on initiates who are willing to undergo massive exertion in pursuit of physical improvement. Aside from Jekyll they are all generally approachable, though the Sentinels rarely allow such close contact without a nod. There are easily a half dozen of such officers stationed throughout the auditorium, and probably more that are maintaining wardings against scrying or discernment elsewhere.<br/><br/>The meeting is taking place in the month of March, Friday of the 22nd. Snacks and socializing will continue from 6 until 7:30, at which time the meeting proper will commence. Notice was handed down to you through channels, or in the case of a particularly hard to find individual, communicated through mysterious messengers who somehow found you despite your best efforts at avoidance. The consilium is not to be avoided, as renegade apostates are a danger to the Veil, and some Guardians take their vows with the utmost sincerity."

A bevy of beverages were also at hand, all of them non-alcoholic but that not stopping them from being pleasant. Another belief of the consilium was that people who were fed were often less argumentative, and it worked, if only because of the general malaise which overtook people in the aftermath of eating. After those present were generally seated, and a quiet settled over most of the crowd, Mr. Rogers rose to address the mages herein assembled. He did so by use of a microphone, because while magic is fun and wonderful, sometimes it's simpler to just use technology.

People rarely took stock of how long people had been in attendance of an event, they only noticed the comings and goings. Each of you was unfortunate enough to receive an envelope, a tasking, when several of you had not realized until the last minute you would be attending. Those with sight up feel that these envelopes have a definite weaving of fate upon them, as well as space and time, as if they found their way to your specific chair on their own rather than having been placed there. Some things are simply spooky. It could also be that the magic simply allowed the person who placed them to know exactly where you'd be sitting when the words were spoken. Any of you who chose not to retrieve your envelope before departing however find them rather insistent, appearing in an exterior pocket or barring that... well, let's hope you took the envelope like a good little mage.<br/><br/>Without exception, your envelopes tell you to meet at the nearby Scope, in one of the side rooms which you are assured will be open, at 9 pm that evening. It seems they intend to take your whole night from you. It is the ""Earnest hope"" of the entity giving the letters that you will attend, and something in the script of the letter insists it will be a bad idea to miss the meeting. Either for you, or possibly for a much larger group of people."

The eastern horizon has been dark throughout these two days - but then, the storms from the east are known to be literal in Solamnia, as well as figurative.<br/><br/>The ""Swiftmane"" seems to be, as near as anyone can tell, a well-run ship. Rope not in use is neatly coiled, oiled and stashed out of the way of wind and weather. The mast sections are kept neat, without splinters or uneven surfaces; the sails also are carefully oiled and protected from the elements. Captain Svinsson is both Master and Commander of this ship, a stern man from northern Solamnia, his face looking almost as if sun, wind and the sea have cured it to leather. Tanned, blonde, about 40 years of age, he drives his officers and crew to hard work on the ship.<br/><br/>Below the deck, the air is thick; the hold is crammed full with wooden sections, much like a slave ship would be. The important difference is that all hatches are open as often as possible to ventilate the passenger area, and there are no manacles and chains in sight. Below the passenger deck, the ""Swiftmane"" carries a small amount of cargo, mostly food and water for the journey as well as whatever possessions of the passengers could be fit in. The livestock, such as it is, shares the passenger deck, contributing to the stench and stifling heat, despite the crisp coolness of the air outside. Sanitary facilities are limited to buckets or hanging over the railing - only the captain and the officers have anything resembling a toilet in their cabins - and that opens to the sea, dropping the refuse into the wake of the ship. Despite all this, those first two days, spirits are high on board.<br/><br/>On the third day, however, the mood of the crew turns, along with the weather. From the east, clouds move in; visibility in that direction decreases sharply, and the wind turns gusty and bitterly cold. A particularly eagle-eyed member of the crew is dispatched to the forecastle with spyglass and orders to see if there is any safe berth in sight; his report causes more muttering among the crewmen as well as the officers when he calls out there is land, several miles off to the southwest... but the shoreline looks like this is Crow's Nest. The name means little to the passengers, but the sailor's attitude towards that place speaks volumes. That is not fear of pirates or barbarians or hobgoblins on their faces. Their expressions tell of that nameless, superstitious fear of the supernatural, connected to the island out there."

Plain clothes and a severe hair style do not remove the impression that Lorraine is - or was - nobility, she retains the manners, if not the arrogance... or the beauty. Tall, dusky of skin and black of hair, she keeps a soft tone ... most of the time.<br/>Today, any change, even one that causes nervous muttering amongst sailors is a welcome change from listening to the near-constant griping and growling from Kale, and the moans and mutters from Edrik - or so it seemed to Lorraine at that moment. She straightened from her self-assigned post and turns to look.

He approached his mission with optimistic enthusiasm, most of his time on the ship was spent doing his duties.

His blonde hair was kept rather short. Even from under his armor and clothing, one could tell he possessed an athletic, muscular body. Chainmail was kept in impeccable condition, kept clean and well polished so that each chain link had a gleaming shine. The attention to detail and maintenance was true of all his equipment, especially his shield and weapons. While his pole-arm and lance were often kept down below, his longsword was kept sheathed at his left hip with his shield was slung over his back when not strapped to his arm.<br/><br/>He could not help the gaze from his brown eyes wandering to the honey haired young woman whenever he noticed her. He always tried to be discreet about it, never wanting the woman to feel uncomfortable around him. Anytime they passed each other, she was always met with a friendly greeting and warm smile. The kender on the other hand, he had chosen to keep his eye on, though he was still friendly with the little one.

In fact, all kinds of drugs are available, from simple weed to get you stoned, to the newest designer drugs that’ll keep you partying all night long. Drugs are only sold through trusted sources though, to ensure purity and price. Anyone caught selling without permission from Helen, or anyone selling substandard stuff gets escorted out, and according to some rumors are never heard from again.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Purgatory offers A huge dance floor, two separate lounge areas, and several private rooms.

He was amazed by it. Ricky started fighting early, knowing that he wanted to be a part of the R9s. His school career was limited because of multiple suspensions for fighting. At the age of 18 he was jumped into the R9s in one of the longest, most brutal jumping ins in recent gang history. He fought so hard that his own brothers and father decided to help beat Ricky into submission, resulting in a four week hiatus so that he could heal properly to begin doing work for his set. Ricky soon proved himself as a good enforcer but got locked up at the age of 21 for multiple counts of aggravated assault and one count of battery against an officer. He spent the next two years in jail, missing the birth of his daughter and rethinking his life in the R9s. However, the gang took good care of his mother and sister while he was away so it reaffirmed his belief in the gang lifestyle.

Up until aged four, Seb never spoke a word, until he witnessed his mother's accident, to which he said ""Mine"". Raised by a now single father, who had no control of his kids, Seb began to live his own little way. He and his friends set up a small school gang, involving regular beat-ups, thefts, and general nuisances. Aged ten, Seb stole his first watch from the local pawnshop, and aged thirteen, received his first criminal record for handling a knife in public - for this, he was kicked out of school and black-listed on the education board. His gang had drifted apart due to personal trysts, and Seb had become a loner in the suburbs. Aged sixteen, he grew a fascination with cars when working experience-shifts with his dad, who taught him the tips and tricks of cars and bikes despite the record his son was slowly building upon. The two worked together awkwardly, until Seb decided that his father's business needed a push; he came up with a plan the two of whom agreed upon immediately.<br/><br/>Working for his father, Seb would obtain vehicles by any means and bring them to him, which would then be resprayed, fixed up and then driven to a buyer. By doing this, Seb had begun to learn the streets of Line County better than any cabbie, and his name was slowly becoming a known thing. Half the money went to parts and tools, and the other half was split between Seb and his father. This went on for eight months, until one car Seb had 'acquired' belonged to the head of a local unit, who respectively killed his father during a drive-by shoot-out. Now with only his sister, who was most likely somewhere downing a morning-after in someone else's bed, Seb was left to fend for himself. In honour of his father, Seb tattooed a small cross on his wrist using a razor-blade, cotton-bud and ink.<br/><br/>Within a year, Seb had found himself staying in the Ryersin Projects, paying minor rent for a two bedroom flat on the 19th floor. Using what money he had with the cars he'd stolen, Seb bought weights, clothes and food, before settling in amongst the residents. Aged 18, Seb was introduced to the leader of the Sin City Ballers, who was in ""need of a man who could drive a car faster than Senna could on codine"". He took the job immediately. Not only did he get in, out and away before the cops put their coffees down, Seb had also worked on drug-runs, escorting and drive-by assists. He learnt how to handle a gun, where the best spots were to hide cars, and even took up fighting as a small hobby.<br/><br/>Up until four months ago, Seb is now a wanted criminal for the murder of Charles Brandt, a local businessman whose crippled body was found protruding from what was left of his crushed Jaguar in the Line County Scrapyard. CCTV of Brandt's office shows Seb entering, throwing Brandt across the desk, and through his office window. It is assumed Seb had ties with Brandt as an escort, however, no discernible details have arisen so far to tie together their possible collaborations. It is also assumed that Seb had help in this matter, but it's not known who, or why they would help.<br/><br/>Seb is now the designated driver of the Sin City Ballers, acting as a getaway driver, an escort, and a decoy pursuit, allowing for his companions to escape while he leads a wild goose chase. He has been shot on the job, and stabbed due to a beef with a hot-headed kid. He's had cars stolen, and he's taken them back, leaving a trail of monoxide and blood. No one knows the streets of Line County like Seb does, and no one can outrun the police like he can.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Preference</strong>Straight.<br/><br/><strong>Character Mortality</strong>: Seb Farrer is mortal.<br/><br/><strong>Why did they join the faction that they joined?</strong>: Seb joined SIN because it's the only family he's got, albeit a dysfunctional, bullet-born family. He wants enough money to get away from the city, but knows it'll take more than a bag-full of green to get out of Line County for good.<br/><br/><strong>What do they want out of life?</strong>: Seb is too busy to think of anything other than the next getaway, the next fuck, or the next cigarette; anything else that plagues him he tends to drown out in over-the-counter codine,<br/><br/><strong>How long has their family lived in Line County?</strong>: Seb is unsure, but his father had been working there for the best part of twenty-five years, so he sticks with that."

Vandros spend his time in forge as child and was apprentice to his father and more than likely follow in his footsteps, however he was drawn to military life and he knew how to handle blade thanks swordsmith needing know basic use of blade before craft it.<br/><br/>So he joined military, he was recruit who showed a unexpected talent; mind for tactics. In his mind he viewed each tactical situation like one metal puzzles what his father sometimes created entertain kids. He uncannily saw flaws in tactics and saw how solve said puzzles with best possible results in given scenario. So he was send off to officer training where he gained basic education and was send then along with company 23; Queen's Roses. Over in his career he became a brilliant officer under command of it's present captain and after with fierce skirmish with Karrnath forces and where captain fell down, he took command and was later promoted to position of captain of his unit officially and he then led the units several decisive victories, but none of them helped overall big picture where Cyre continued loosing ground steadily.<br/><br/>He fought with his company few battles but he ended up into tough battle against Breland bear calvary which broke army's lines and he fell off from his horse and got buried under a horse which was trampled over by a bear. It resulted his left leg become completely busted in and when he was found and taken captive his leg was healed but too late completely fix it. However, despite interrogation he was considered too low ranked officer to be held in any important cells so he was send to Sharn where one district was devoted to prisoners of war.<br/><br/>This was just week before Mourning occurred; that Cyre just plainly blew up. In sense his capture saved him from grim fate what faced those who had stayed behind but it provided little to no comfort; he was now man with no home and who had lost friends, family and everyone. There were other Cyre folk also in the district but they also mourned. When treaty was made, it enraged him that Cyre folks were not included in treaty....as if Cyre does not exist anymore?! It was true, but they could had addressed the issue somehow! It was other nations fault the whole war was started in first place!<br/><br/>Vandros however realizes there is little to no chances for revenge and overtime his righteous wrath became just brooding dislike towards all non-Cyre folk. He had his own theory how or why mourning occurred but he has little to no proof besides suspicion; feeling one the nations had planted a weapon of mass destruction to his homeland. His only comfort besides brooding was work as a smith, work with skills his father had taught him (along with family secret technique) and continued on his family trade. He was not good like his father was but he was very close enough. However he spends most his time wearing black and drinking in bars until he is too stupor to tell what hour of day it is. But with military discipline which was taught from years of warfare he rises up every morning in hangover and goes to forge and continues craft blades.<br/><br/>Because of his habit, he was wash up smith who was half-way to bankrupt but when noble or dragonmark heir wanted a Derram family blade, he crafted it and he got windfall enough last few months until it started spiral down. During one his drinking times in Redstone District (his workshop was located there on lower Dura in Sharn), he met with windwright captain who insulted his mourningwear (black Cyran styled clothes) and also calling him dressing like a girl?! Vandros lost his temper and ended up fist fight with the captain and they both got kicked from the bar but continued smack each other in street during rainy day in Sharn until they both wore each other out. After fight was over the captain apologized and then invited Vandros to his/her ship to take a view what most Sharn folk never see; the clear night sky with stars and feel of gentle breeze.<br/><br/>During that moment, Vandros long buried Cyran nature, central philosophy simply called as<em>Cyran Appreciation</em>, sparked up again and brought genuine joy first time in Vandros. Then Vandros asked from captain was there work for a old wardog like him and Captain told there was and so Vandros became first military personnel on airship called<em>Blaze</em>, where he then recruited rest of the cast overtime through varied circumstances. He sold his workshop, quit being a brooding drunkard smith which had brilliant talent, picked Rose of War (http://i48.tinypic.com/a3d21f.png) from collecting dust in fireplace and instead became a mercenary who crosses borders and skies upon airship in random jobs to one or another. Despite wandering, his heart still burns with question which had left unanswered since day of Mourning.....a question which he plans figure out someday and give just retribution.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Derram Family Weapon Template</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><em>""..it's beauty is beyond description....both drawn and even when bathed in blood...""</em><br/>-Karrnathian swordmaster when admiring first time Derram blade.<br/><br/><strong>Derram Template:</strong> Derram template has been Vandros family creation from over century ago, even before Last War his family was renowned for their blades and quality but they developed a unique brand of blades which carried legacy even through Last War. As family has traditionally worked as Cannith licensed craftsmen, their blades carried out across to all five nations into hands of invinduals who could pay the extravagant price of said blades and most cases they became enchanted already by Cannith artificers which did not tamper the blades at all expect infuse them with magic.<br/><em><strong>Applies to:</strong></em> All bladed weapons which cause piercing or slashing damage. Anything which has a blade can applied with Derram template. Example rapier, greataxe or greatspear it can be applied but not to a maul, club or morning star.<br/><em><strong>Description:</strong></em> Each blade process is started since ore-treating by heating it highly up, then cool it down with purifying acid and smack down all low-quality metal off from ore, heat it again and smack again second lower grade metal ores off. The process is repeated traditionally five times before you melt ores together to single ingot.<br/><br/>Then from said ingot the blade is forged in process where it is heated, hammered, then middle of process fold the blade and hammer it again. Each time the ingot is bathed in purifying acid which exact mixture is closely held secret by Derram family as it's mixture of normal alchemist acid combined with two key ingredients. The repeated folding process adds extra layers to ignot and metal itself which will lend extra hardness and endurance and give the special beauty trade mark what Derram blades are well known for.<br/><br/>In end of the process the blade is sharpened in around week's time on grind stone where process goes from rough to softer grind stones and during that time blade's <em>haman</em> comes to appear. This <em>haman</em> is what marks each blade unique manner to be Derram work. The blade's surface, the part where blade cuts, forms a special reflection pattern which comes to view in two situations; when light reflects on it or when blade has been bathed in blood. The exact form and color is always unique and something what Derram craftsman cannot never predict beforehand. Some cases <em>haman</em> looks like sapphire waves, in other like sea tide of golden feathers, in other like purple dancing mist and so on. It gives each blade a unique appearance and beauty and along with it came tradition that each blade when owner first time draws from sheath names the blade, giving it a own unique name.<br/><em><strong>Benefits:</strong></em> +1 hardness and HP compared normal kind weapon made from same material. Also +4 bonus to diplomacy&amp;intimidation checks vs Cyrans and +2 to other nation folks.<br/><em><strong>Discounts:</strong></em> Everbright enchant costs 25% less than normal (costing 1,500gp instead 2,000gp) to apply to Derram templated blade.<br/>Cost: 800gp (500gp is template itself but Derram template is never applied to non-masterwork weapon so +300gp is added top of that if not making blade already from exceptional material like admantine)<br/><em><strong>Secret Ingredients:</strong></em> A dragonshard fragment (any, 1/1000 from normal cost acquire said shard) and a drop of Derram family member blood (unknown reason; needing a blood of someone who has potential manifest Mark of Making, plus Derram family has innately sorcerous blood).<br/></div></div>"

I thought I was in Dolurrh, at first, that I'd managed to evade the Keeper's grasp, and that all that was left was for me to wait around and see if I'd succumb to apathy, or if maybe someone would bring me back, somehow.<br/><br/>""I don't know how long I spent walking after the boredom got to me, either, but eventually the mist sort of solidified into a wall up ahead of me, and when I pushed through that, I recognized the Brelish countryside.  I eavesdropped on a few conversations, managed to figure out what had actually happened to me, what I had become, but after that...<br/><br/>""Well, would you know what to do or where to go if you were in my situation?  Friends and family were out, I'm a dead woman and I have no intention of ever troubling them with the knowledge that I've become undead on top of that, and as for making new friends, that's not easy when most people out there view you as little more than a dangerous monster.  Still, they say all roads lead to Sharn, and that's eventually where I ended up, too, haunting the Cogs until I managed to beg, borrow, or steal the magic items I needed to pass as one of the living.<br/><br/>""As for why I joined up with Derram and his merry little band of misfits aboard the Blaze?  Well, let's just say we have similar goals.  As with all ghosts, I'm sick and tired of running around half-awake in this world, and I want to move on to my final resting place in the next.  And in order to do that I need to take care of a little unfinished business, here in the land of the living.  Working with Derram is probably my best shot at that."""

I am the first to arrive and the last hope when all seems lost. I saw the very worst of the Last War, and when the next one starts, I will see the worst of it too. I am one of the Knights Arcane's finest. I am a Knight Phantom, and if you face me on the field of battle, you will know what it is to fear.""<br/><br/>Demvarien was born in Stormhome as a nephew of the current Matriarch of House Lyrandar, Esravash. Being closely related to the ruler of the House, Demvarien lived a life of comfort and luxury during his early years, and had the finest teachers gold could buy. Though he did not manifest a Dragonmark, early in his studies he showed a sharp intellect and a grasp of arcane knowledge. When the first Magewright was brought in to teach him the basics of arcane magic, the young Half-Elf took to spells like they were part of his blood. He was singled out by the Matriarch to be groomed for membership in The Twelve, and when he was old enough, Demvarien was sent to the University of Wynarn to receive magical training beyond what Magewright tutors could teach him. The year was 967 YK, and Demvarien was nineteen years old.<br/><br/>For a time, Demvarien was very happy at the University. Though many of its halls were empty of students, there were enough there for him to make friends and have a budding social life. However, one by one, his friends all left for the war, drafted in service of the crown. One by one, Demvarien received news of their deaths in combat. By his third year at the university, the young Half-Elf could take no more. He left his House in self-imposed exile, abandoning the name d'Lyrandar and calling himself Demvarien of Stormhome. Demvarien signed on with the Aundairian military as a battlemage not long after.<br/><br/>Many of his comrades saw Demvarien as less than a real Aundairian soldier, feeling that he could not so easily cut his ties to his Dragonmarked House. Rather than arguing with words, the Half-Elf argued with his actions, showing tremendous bravery and skill on the battlefield. He rose quickly through the lower ranks of the army, and it was not long before he was recognized by the Knights Arcane. Shortly afterwards, he was offered training and membership in the most elite order in the Aundairian military, the Knights Phantom. Demvarien eagerly accepted.<br/><br/>For two decades and most of a third, Demvarien fought ceaselessly for Aundair in the battles of the Last War. In the year 994, however, his military career came to an end.<br/><br/>In one of its many battles with Karrnath, Aundair sought to establish a foothold on the Eastern bank of the Scions Sound. Demvarien's unit of one hundred Knights Phantom was sent far ahead of the rest of the force to capture and hold a small ruin North of Rekkenmark, to serve as a temporary base for the expedition force into Karrnathi territory. The unit was well in advance of the main Aundairian force, in order to keep the Karrnathi from recognizing Aundair's true intentions and increasing their defenses appropriately. The Knights captured the ruin quietly enough in the middle of the night, but the defenders sent word before being overwhelmed. By the next morning, a force outnumbering their own many times over was gathered outside the small fortification to force them out. All they could do was try and hold on until the rest of their forces arrived.<br/><br/>For the first day, they held against the onslaught with minimal losses, their elite training winning the day. But the undead do not tire, nor do they run out of spells. By the end of the second day, with no time to rest and insufficient numbers to take turns refreshing spells, the Knights had lost more than half their number. On the dawn of the third day, when the Knights Phantom heard the horns of Aundairian reinforcements, there were only a handful of them left, desperately fighting for survival. When the reinforcements arrived, Demvarien, badly wounded, stood as the only survivor of the hundred Knights that had claimed the ruin.<br/><br/>Something inside Demvarien broke in the aftermath of that battle. His taste for bloodshed was gone, and he had no more stomach for war. The Half-Elf was granted the Aundairian military's highest honor, and his comrades received the award posthumously. Demvarien was removed from the front lines for the rest of the war, training prospective recruits in the battle techniques of the Knights Phantom. When the Treaty of Thronehold was signed, he was dishonorably discharged.<br/><br/>For a little while, Demvarien lived a civilian life, free of his House and the Knights Arcane. But despite his best efforts to hide it, the Least Dragonmark that had manifested on the dark day when he outlived his comrades had come to the attention of House Lyrandar. Demvarien was ""persuaded"" to rejoin his family, and assigned to work on the airship of one Zepha d'Lyrandar as a bodyguard and mercenary.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Demvarien can come off as a cold individual; he is extremely logical and turns an analytical eye towards any situation, particularly tactical assessment. At his heart, however, he cares deeply for the good of others, and is a particularly loyal friend. The Half-Elf bears more than his fair share of emotional scars from the war. He still harbors old enmity towards citizens of Karrnath, Thrane, and the Eldeen Reaches, though he tries to keep himself from being overtly hostile. In addition, violence is hard on Demvarien. He has healed enough of his wounds to engage in small skirmishes with few side effects, and even in larger battles, three decades of military discipline keep him functional until the threat has passed. Still, after a large battle or an encounter with undead, Demvarien can suffer from psychological breakdowns of varying degree as he is hurled back to that dark day in Karrnath."

It was only when their shifts exhausted simultaneously that Arslan was able to overpower the smaller girl and bind her in silk rope to lead back to his army in triumph.<br/><br/>It turned out that their main force had suffered a crushing defeat that day and they had to move five miles extra to get to the new camp.  Arslan turned over his prisoner with the promise of 75% of the  ransom award, then ate, crawled into his tent, and snored.<br/><br/>The girl haunted his dreams.  She'd been young, with a fierce spirit and hopeful face. Barely old enough for love and surely too young for war!<br/><br/>Pained screams startled him awake in the morning.  Arslan dressed quickly and followed them the cries to the front of the captain’s tent.  The girl hung naked by her wrists, being stroked with a leather lash.<br/><br/>Furious, Arslan bellowed, “What are you doing to my prisoner?”<br/><br/>The captain glared at him, and he continued, “Sir, I doubt she'll be worth much ransome covered in scars!”<br/><br/>“New orders from the top, scout.  No more ransoming prisoners back to fight us again.”<br/><br/>Arslan growled as the lash was lifted again and strode up to the officers, who's garuds drew their swords, “Then by right of the laws of war, I claim her as my war bride!”<br/><br/>There were some gasps—not that he'd invoked the right to take a slave so much as because he'd defied the captain, who'd lost friends in the most recent battle, but he laughed and cut the girl down for Arslan.  “Enjoy her, boy!”<br/><br/>Arslan carried the girl to his tent, lay her down on the bed, and began to wash her wounds..."

She shifted.. and so did he! They tussled for a moment in their bestial forms, and she was able to hold him off, but when they both shifted back at the same time, he had an even greater strength advantage and was able to overpower her. He was able to tie her up and left the field with Reala as his battle trophy.<br/><br/>She had assumed, based of reports from other released prisoners, that it would be a matter of stewing in a cage for a few days and then being ransomed off back to her own people. But instead, she found herself stripped naked, strung up by her wrists in front of what she had assumed was the captain's tent. He produced a lash and started to ask questions, to which she just stubbornly shook her head.<br/><br/>It only took the first stroke for the young shifter to start screaming. Her first screams came out all bestial sounding, since she had shifted in an attempt to summon the strength to break free of her bindings. She squirmed as he struck her again, and again, her legs flailing, her cries of pain echoing through the camp.<br/><br/>The other soldiers just watched, seeming to be amused by the spectacle. It saddened her that the war had turned what she could only assume were basically good men into bloodthirsty animals. But she didn't have a whole lot of attention for such concerns, in fact as the lash struck her pale flesh over and over, she started to wonder if she was even meant to survive this. By the time she spotted the man who had initially captured her, she was covered in blood and welts, barely able to keep her head up to gaze hopefully at him. Maybe it was just wishful thinking, but she had felt something when they had fought, sensed that he, too, might have been a decent, even honorable man, maybe even the kind who had the decency to deplore such treatment of prisoners... that hope was all she had left...<br/><br/>But even then she was not prepared for what he would say next. He would claim her as his war bride?!?<br/><br/>Her eyes widened, and in her half delirious state all she could do was chuckle, as if it was some kind of joke. ""War bride, that's a good one..."" she muttered... ""at least I will die laughing..."" and then finally the pain and blood loss became too much and she passed out."

Alliance patrol boat cum merchant, is en route to the planet of Shadow.  Her cargo, one hundred tons of steel sheeting, is destined for the canneries there.  The trip is expected to take two days.  The ship’s name, The Line, is a direct reflection of her master’s prickly position on his rights.  Braxton would sooner die than give up his ship and backs that sentiment up with action.<br/><br/>The Line also carried a passenger this leg of the trip, Isobel Smith.  She’s a little slip of a thing, five foot nothing and dresses like a working stiff for all she claims to be a tourist.  Isobel doesn’t talk much but doesn’t miss much either.<br/><br/>Philemon thought he heard Elfi talking to someone, but she lied to hide her little secret and he didn’t press it even though he knew she was not being truthful with him.<br/><br/>Ace Pilot Keri had just cleared atmo and steered The Line past the inevitable space junk a planet collected when dinner was served.  She noted a smattering of traffic in the lanes, but dismissed them as the usual merchants.  Despite her reputation as a daredevil pilot, she kept an eye on them just in case they turned out to be pirates.<br/><br/>Sue cooked up his famous Beef ‘n Peppers Minus the Beef dish and didn’t spill a drop on his frilly pink apron.  The entire ship gathered for once, no one being busy on a job or ‘bating in their bunk over what they’d like to do to the Companion, and it promised to be a happy meal.<br/><br/>Keri stunned everyone with an unusual for her dress but was soon eclipsed by Serenity’s outfit.  No one could ever draw an inside straight when playing against the Companion’s style and beauty.<br/><br/>The Companion started to draw Isi out, flattering her with a comparison to an Egyptian goddess.  Her gentle questions and disarming ways would have made an Alliance interrogation expert whistle with envy.  Still, Isi deflected the suspicion easily.<br/><br/>First Mate Richard took a rare moment of down time from his constant work to join everyone in the galley.  Ever the gentleman, he kept up his tradition of referring to Mya as Doctor instead of treating her with the disregard most used on account of her status as an indentured servant.  He was anticipating and worrying about another showdown between Braxton and Serenity and was determined to keep the peace.<br/><br/>Mya, always hot and bothered by Braxton, was invited to sit next to the ship’s master during dinner.  Captain Early was being more than polite it turned out.  He wanted to have a little fun with his girl who couldn’t say no and liked to be forced to say yes.  She was a little grumpy about someone going through the supplies in Sick Bay and not putting them back, but that concern faded as soon as she felt Braxton’s hand on her thigh.<br/><br/>Engineer Lance Daniels, always a wizard with his hands, expeditiously fixed a minor but dangerous airlock malfunction.  He took up a seat near Keri on account of how she looked in the dress and so he wouldn’t have to sit near Mya and Braxton.<br/><br/>As usual, Sue’s cooking and easy manner brought him many warm comments from The Line’s denizens.  He might have a girl’s name and wear absurd aprons, but the man could cook.  On a ship with a limited variety of food, his talents were well appreciated by all.  He’d even secured some fizzy champagne to toast the voyage, though his inclusion of Elfi irked Braxton sorely.  It proved to be justified on his part, as the girl got a little tipsy and spilled some soup on Isi.  The First Mate avoided an immediate problem with Braxton and his property by smoothly intervening and disarming the situation.  The man was invaluable in so many ways.<br/><br/>As everyone expected, trouble soon brewed between the Captain and the Companion.  Serenity used Braxton’s lecture about not putting ideas in people’s head as a barb against him, then disengaged as easily as some skinned a smoke wagon and took her leave.<br/><br/>Braxton got Mya plenty damp between her thighs with his touches during the meal, and though he made at least an effort to politely hide it, few at the table missed the arousing action.  Not being able to protest, and the humiliation of it happening publicly, was a powerful spur to the Doctor’s libido and would have been quite lovely to see though most took offense to it happening at the dinner table.<br/><br/>Keri was the first to call Braxton out on his sexual shenanigans, and let the Captain have it with a Chinese insult and a reminder to wash his hands before touching her console.  She left for the bridge and was so irked she didn’t even finish Sue’s fine meal.<br/><br/>Phil, a peacemaker in his own way, followed after the Pilot but didn’t chase.<br/><br/>The Engineer enjoyed the tension between everyone and played the right fine sophisticated man he was with his comments and the fancy way he drank his champagne.  People tended to think that because he worked with his hands, he was common.  Lance was anything but common.<br/><br/>Then Sue started the showdown.  He took command of the galley like it was his ship and dismissed the passenger before getting down to brass tacks and wasted no time tossing his All In wager into the middle of the table.  He didn’t like how the Captain was acting and told Braxton what Sue wanted him to do.  It was a bold move and as close to mutiny as you could get and still have a neck.<br/><br/>Braxton called the move with his heavy revolver and placed it right fine out on the table for everyone to see.  He wasn’t intimidated at all and wasn’t about to take orders from anyone on his ship.  He told Sue how the cow ate the cabbage and told him to walk away and go to his quarters.<br/><br/>Richard and Lance looked ready to back the Captain’s play.<br/><br/>Sue, as fine a gentleman as he was a cook, responded with aplomb and while he didn’t quite back down and cower, neither did he push it until the matter could only be settled by lead.  He left the galley and reminded Braxton of his social duties and courtesies as a fellow gentleman.<br/><br/>Richard left soon thereafter for Serenity’s shuttle, but not before Lance intercepted him and expressed concern about having an intoxicated Captain piloting the ship the Engineer took such good care of.  He also bade Mya to give the Captain what he needed and to wear him out in the bunk as best she could.<br/><br/>All in all, a fine meal served without a side of gunplay.  Everyone went home, if not happy, then alive."

Shadow’s brownish-blue disk filled the entire view. Soon enough, trailing flames started to appear around the front canards and quickly engulfed the entire ships. A shudder went through The Line as they became fully atmospheric and she bucked like a bronco – or Mya, the captain mused with a smile – but then the furious decent made way for a smooth glide. Keri had the ship fully under her control. This was her element. Braxton let go of the handhold and reached for his shoulder microphone.<br/><br/><strong>“This is the captain. We are now approaching Mowa on Shadow. Local time is 15:05, the weather is sunny and warm. I would like to remind you that the senate of Shadow has passed the twenty-second amendment to the Alliance assault weapons ban, so if you happen to be in the possession of an assault rifle or other fully automatic small arm, go ahead and take her out for a stroll in the sun. <br/><br/>Keri, why are you? Hey…ah!”</strong><br/><br/>The Line pulled up sharply, breaking off its landing run, and Braxton almost lost his balance and had to steady himself on the handhold.<br/><br/><strong>“Keri, why the fuck are there <em>people</em> sitting all over the landing pad?”</strong>He asked the pilot. He had let go of the microphone and it now dangling from his shoulder by its spiral cable. After a moment to assess the situation he took it up again.<br/><br/><br/><strong>“Ah, alright, crew. It looks like there is a <em>strike</em> going on in Mowa. No smoke at all from any of the factory chimneys and workers in red union wests are performing a big gorram sit-in on the landing pad. Keri will bring us down a bit out of town and we will see what we can find out on the ground.<br/><br/><br/>Prep you gear people! I want one team to go to town and talk to the strikers, see if they will let us land at the cannery to unload the cargo. Be safe, bring some artillery, but keep it simple. Don’t aggravate the locals and don’t start anything. The law here seems to be private and they look heavily armed. If there is violence, the first shot <em>cannot</em> be yours. This is not our fight; we are only here to do honest business.<br/><br/>Keri, Lance, take the mule and see if you can get fuel and any parts you need. Not sure if there will be trouble, but if you feel unsafe take one of the hands with you to stand guard while you do your thing. This town looks like it is rigged to blow.<br/><br/>Everyone else has shore leave for the moment. Not that the town looks too inviting at the moment…”</strong><br/>Braxton had walked all the way down to the cargo bay while making his announcement and now stood in front of the rear cargo ramp. He pushed a button on the console and the bay doors opened and the ramp descended. The first thing that hit him was the heat: Shadow was<em>hot</em>. The second was the dust. They had landed on open ground and The Line’s powerful thrusters had charred the grass underfoot and the trademark brown soil of Shadow was blowing into his eyes and mouth.<br/><br/>The Captain descended down the ramp, his rancher boots clanging on the metal floor and spit the dirt back to where it had come from. In the distance, huge corrals had been set up on the open plains and they were filled to bursting with mooing cattle.<br/><br/><strong>”Yeah, feels like home alright.”</strong>He muttered under his breath and watched as his people got to work. In the distance, he could see the town gate, blockaded like the landing pad by a sit-in of workers in red union vests.<br/>"

Besides, she was easier on the eyes than Elfi, and her presence didn’t rile up so many people. Maybe he should get her a lace apron and cap like they had in the noble houses… that would be a lovely sight. Not to mention, how much she would hate wearing it. As a wealthy core girl, Mya probably used to have servants herself.<br/><br/><strong>”Like I was saying.

Instead of answering she pulled back up and, silently, wished they had something she could fire at the idiots below them. The entire ride into the planet had been as sweet as you could get. Oh granted the ship had bucked and shuddered but there was no avoiding that when you were fighting the atmosphere itself. There wasn't a planet she'd flown into that hadn't<em>tried</em>to skip them off it's outer layer but there also wasn't a planet she'd couldn't land on.

Besides, if we're going out I'm going to need shoes.""<br/><br/>Rising from her seat she shot both the men a reproachful look, a look that changed to a grin as Isi appeared with tea. Unlike Braxton she didn't picture the girl in some sort of uniform, she just smiled and took a cup while saying with a laugh in her voice and a sparkle of mischief in her eyes, ""You are a dear! Thank you! Do me a favor and get this two to stop bickering please.""<br/><br/>Sidling out of the Bridge she swung sharply to the right and into her bunk, which was right beside it. There she quickly shucked off the denim pants she wore and shimmied into a pair of denim shorts instead. Once they had been a full pair of pants, but a tear in the shin after a day of helping Lance with maintenance duty one day had found them quickly cut short and now they fell to just mid thigh and showed signs of wear with frayed edges. Paired with the shorts she pulled on a violet tunic and fluffed out her short locks before grabbing a satchel that she wore with the strap across her body, the soft sound of clacking wood coming from inside when it bumped against her hip. On her feet she slid on a pair of sandals that ties around her ankles to hold them in place.<br/><br/>Satisfied with her preparations she swung back onto the Bridge and looked between the two men there, ""Now Lance, are you done with your whining and ready to go shopping or are you going to grumble some more? The sooner we're done, the sooner we can take out own leave and I have no intention of wasting time,"" she said, clearly teasing her friend and hoping to diffuse an argument before it could start.<br/><br/>Especially an argument she had no intention of being part of because she wasn't a gorram flight instructor!<br/><br/><br/>"

He had seen these little cylinder things that the Alliance Intel field agents used sometimes; they fitted on the end of a weapon, and they muffled the noise. Instead of a bang, you were more in for a pop. That was what had happened one time when he had managed to ""borrow"" one of them at the firing range, anyway. The field agents used this special kind of ammo he didn't manage to grab, made it even quieter, like a little whip-crack. Phil wasn't so certain he could find that kind of ammo out here, but at least he could probably find something like the cylinder.<br/><br/>As he headed up to the bridge to check and see if there was any group he could catch a ride out to the town with, Phil caught the tail end of an argument.<em>""The sooner we're done, the sooner we can take our own leave and I have no intention of wasting time.""</em><br/><br/>Definitely Keri talking. Phil entered the room, and in his typical fashion, found himself leaning up against the doorframe.<strong>""Oh, don't tell me there aren't any good seats left,""</strong>he interjected to try to create a bit of levity. He suspected it would be lost on most of the present company, but at least they could all then direct their ire at him instead of at each other. He knew from experience that the ship ran smoothest when its three most critical crew members were getting along, and if they needed a common enemy, he'd be glad to volunteer for the time being."

The 14:04 was late by over an hour now.  Ain't no one on the platform seemed overly worried, though.  Such was life on the periphery, where things were not as neat, shiny or orderly as in the core.  It was something I was used to, growing up here on Shadow and all.<br/><br/>Vendors went a-peddlin their wares among the travelers, some of whom even rolled out and laid down on their fleatrap bedrolls.<br/><br/>A Chinese woman was cooking up some chicken stew on a camping stove.  I chatted her up a bit to pass the time, as us backwater folk tended to do.  We talked recipes and even shared some of the things I picked up in town.<br/><br/>None of this type of thing happened in the core neither.  On fancy rocks*, people kept to themselves, and it was possible to feel all lonely like even when surrounded by millions.  Out here, folks chatted up about the weather and shared.  They was nice people.<br/><br/>People of the earth.<br/><br/>You know.<br/><br/>Morons.<br/><br/>Which was part of why I left Shadow behind in the first place.  Because of silly stuff like I knew I was about to see.<br/><br/>Finally, the train came a-whizzing in on its mag-rails and the folks got a move on.  One great unwashed mass pushed out of the train, and it was met by another equally great, equally unwashed mass that pushed in.  I stood on the side and observed the herds, sighing to myself and shaking my head.  No one was waiting or making room for no one and there was a-pushing and a-shoving and a-shouting and a-cussing, but in the end everybody seemed to get where they wanted and the crowd on the platform thinned out.<br/><br/>I looked around and couldn't find nothing or no one, but I didn't know what I was looking for neither.  Last time I wrote ""home,"" I got me a wave telling me to be at this here spot, at this here time, for this here train.  Whatever it was, it didn't come out on its own.<br/><br/><strong>“Is she yours?”</strong><br/><br/>I turned around and saw me a big mountain of a man, a conductor for the Alliance Periphery Railway.  Stood in his shadow even, like I was being eclipsed.  Somewhere up there in the silhouette of his head, his face looked down at me like he had a score to settle.<br/><br/>He had a teenage girl with him.  He was firmly grasping her upper arm and he forcibly thrust her out to me, making the girl stumble forward.  She was the sweetest thing, clearly blooming towards womanhood, yet petite and innocent like a child in her white ruffled dress.  When she finally looked up from under her large straw boater, I looked down into the face of an angel, framed by long tresses of fire-red hair.<br/><br/>I didn't get a chance to protest his treatment of her before he spoke up again.<br/><br/><strong>”Know some shame, man, raise her right!”</strong><br/><br/>I raised a hand but he turned away to return to the train.  I looked back at the girl as the conductor then unloaded a huge steamer wardrobe from the train and placed it next to the girl.  He clearly seemed glad to be rid of her and her belongings.  He said one last thing.<br/><br/><strong>”Spare the rod, spoil the child.”</strong><br/><br/>The conductor then spat on the platform and then got back on the train.<br/><br/>I noticed all this out of the corner of my eyes.  My focus was on the girl in front of me.  She wasn't just no girl, she was a girl I rescued sometime ago, except she was more grown up than I remember her last.  I addressed her directly.<br/><br/><strong>""Howdy, Sophie.  It's been a while.""</strong><br/><br/>I put my hand on her shoulders and looked down at her pretty face.  She looked just like her momma.  I pulled her close and wrapped my arms around her, holding her long and hugging her tight.  Height, build, hair, eyes... hell, she even smelled like Alyce.<br/><br/><strong>""How ya'll been, Sophie?  What you got there?""</strong><br/><br/>As she answered my first question, I took the sealed letter that was in her hand.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">The Letter</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Dearest Sue,<br/><br/>I’m sending Sophie to you in the hopes that you can keep her safe when I can no longer.  You have done so much already for me and mine and yet I keep asking you for more.  It shames me to put such a burden on you but there is no one else I can turn to.<br/><br/>I saw a man sneaking about the back of the house yesterday and another one today.  I did what you taught me, hiding in the crowd on my way to work, turning corners, and I watched him in the reflection of a shop window, hurrying to catch up with me. <br/><br/>There can be no doubt anymore.  They know where I am and, more importantly, where she is. They are coming for my Sophie, Sue, and I fear the net is too tight already for me to escape. <br/><br/>I have booked passage for two on a colony ship heading to Miranda.  It’s really far out and they are still looking for settlers there.  It sounds like a reasonable thing to do for a woman on the run.  But you and I know these people: they are not easy to shake.<br/><br/>While I go towards to my fate, drawing off the dogs, a good friend of mine will put Sophie on a liner under a fake name. I pray that she travels safely and it is you, dearest Sue, who will read this letter and not them.<br/><br/>Please take good care of my Sophie and give her the love and safety that she deserves.  Ever since you took her out of that place, she hasn’t been quite the same and now that she is blooming into a woman, she has become even more difficult to handle.  She will need stability and a firm hand at times.  Sophie can be a real brat, leaving me quite literally at my wits end.  And yet, she is the only thing that I have left of my sister, the woman you loved, and there is nothing and no one I love more in the Verse than her. <br/><br/>Sophie does not know of my fate, nor of the peril she is in. She comes to you in the belief that she is just going to visit her ‘Uncle Sue’, and seeing you again is something she has been looking forward to for a long time.  It breaks my heart to know that my last words to her will be a lie, but I fear it is the only way she can be safe on her journey. She is so fragile, so sweet, and I don’t think she could shoulder the truth. <br/><br/>Forgive me to ask so much of you, when you have already given so much. You are the only one I can turn to. <br/><br/>As I leave this world to be with my sister in a better place, I leave my heart, my Sophie, with you.<br/><br/>Remember me,<br/><br/>Amelia DeLaurents   <br/><br/></div></div><br/>I kept a straight face as best I could while reading the letter, but inside I was feel awful anxious about this new responsibility.<br/><br/>After our initial meet and greet, I wheeled Sophie's trunk toward the hover mule.  I had her sit near me as I drove back to<em>""The Line</em>.  The whole time I tried not to stare.<br/><br/><strong>""Why was that conductor all flustered about ya'll?  What kind of trouble was you causin' on that there train, Sophie?""</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/>*Well-to-do-planet run entirely by the Alliance.<br/>"

The turbulence caused by the sudden shift in the plane caused the trigger of the damn thing to roll off of his bed and lodge itself somewhere in a corner.

You'd think with all her smarts she'd be able to fly this bird without causing shit to fly everywhere.""<br/><br/>He kept mumbling to himself as he licked the blood, filling his mouth with that all too metallic taste. Reassembling his pistol, he inserted it into its holster. He looked at the few belongings on his bed, atleast the ones that could kill people. Or atleast severely intimidate them. Grabbing his bowie knife, he slid his finger over the edge, holstered it and clung it to the smaller of his back with the handle sticking out to the right.<br/><br/>""Better bring ol' Betsy as well ... Planets like these usually involve big and open places. Lots of distance to cover that a pistol can't always reach.""<br/><br/>And with a single gesture, he grabbed Betsy, his Winchester, by the barrel and lifted it behind his back. His other hand does nothing but seek the strap to hold the damn thing in place. Switching it to his chest he feel more secure with the amount of firepower on hands. Filling his pockets with ammo, he decided to take a fresh breath before reporting for duty. He walked to the boarding ramp and passed a few members of the crew, not paying any attention to them.<br/><br/>When he finally reaches the ramp, he takes a seat on a crate and stares at Shadow and it's busy occupants. He pulls out his pistol and mock aims at one of the workers on strike. He mimics shooting and pulls up the pistol as to fake recoil.<br/><br/>""Bang.""<br/><br/>Afterwards he pockets the pistol again and heads for the bridge. Noticing it's all too crowded, he stands in the hall way, his right hand never leaving the grip of his pistol.<br/><br/>""Reporting for duty, Sir. And if you don't believe me saying that crap, I'll put it this way ... I'm here to make sure nobody does a bad thing to us and in return I won't do horrible, horrible things to them. Oh and next time, could you land instead of crash our bird? I nearly broke my neck because of that manouvre.""<br/><br/>He gives a nod to the Captain and to Phil, not registering the presence nor existence of the other present crew members."

Now huddle up!”</strong>Braxton said and spread an e-paper screen over Keri’s console, showing the town's layout and important buildings.<strong>”I guess there is a firm opinion on this ship how I spend my nights. Well, it’s not <em>all</em> I do. Here is what the Coretex and some other sources have on Mowa: <br/><br/>First and foremost, it’s a company town. What that means for example, is that it’s not a settlement on Alliance maps; it’s a factory. Sure, there are houses and whatnot on the premises – even looks like a real town in places – but all the real estate and 90% of the structures belong to the handful of robber barons who run this place. There is no mayor and no sheriff in this town. It’s not listed as a settlement so that means no elections. Just another nifty little legal trick the Alliance has rammed down the throat of the planets on the rim. So the law here are private agents of the Levet Interplanetary Detective Agency, usually called ‘Levetts’. Don’t mistake them for proper sheriffs, though. They are not elected and they are not ‘detectives’, either. Basically, they are mercenaries and riff-raff, given pay, a gun and <em>authority</em>. Not a healthy combination if you ask me. Even Alliance lawmen look like the good cops compared to these guys. So don’t get in any trouble with the Levetts.<br/><br/>Worker conditions are poor. Housing is company-owned and in bad repair. Conditions are cramped and sanitation is poor. The current strike has erupted over the buying out of the last independent general store in Mowa. Rumor has it that it was a ‘take our money, or take our bullets’ kind of deal. Anyhow, now the robber barons have a monopoly and prices have skyrocketed in the company stores. Basically, what they are doing is taking a good portion of the pittance they pay their workers right back by selling them overpriced goods. There are some smalltime traders coming in by train and a little under the table dealing, but by and large, if you buy something in Mowa, you buy from ‘the man’. And it makes the fat cats fatter and the working stiffs even poorer. <br/><br/>I don’t like it, and I hope you guys don’t like it either, but this is not our fight. We have a ship full of cargo and a schedule to keep. I will go to the ‘owners quarter’ and speak to the local management, you know, the guys who are gonna pay us, see what they have to say. But basically, we are on ‘door to door’ contract and I don’t think I will see a single credit before the goods are in their hands. <br/> <br/>So you guys will have to find a way for us to deliver. Talk to the union representatives. There should be one with every large group of strikers. Maybe they are in negotiation already and things will clear up anyhow. If not, try to appeal to them. We are working stiffs like them, are we not? Maybe they will be nice and let us through. Maybe they can be convinced that it's better for their health if they let us through. Don’t force the issue, though. If things get violent on our account, we could end up in a world of trouble.<br/><br/>So that’s the rundown. Lance, you going with the men or are you going to jump into your fancy ‘Mr. Engineer, Sir’-suit and be all respectable-like with me? Provided, of course, that there are no major issues with the ship.""</strong><br/>"

The hover was gone, which meant someone else on the crew had it. They could use the ground mule or the shuttle but she'd wait to hear what the men had to say on the matter. Personally she'd prefer the ground mule so they wouldn't need to haul the cells as far to load them since the shuttle needed far more clearance than the simple mule. She'd leave the decision to the men though, since she didn't really plan to do much in the way of hauling.<br/><br/>One good thing about her petite frame, they didn't expect her to do the heavy lifting!<br/>"

sure I sneaked down into the engine room and was necking with the chief engineer but the engines only overheated a teeny bit when I was bent over the control console and pressed all those buttons.<br/><br/>Tha train was fun too.  It was really crowded and I ended up gettin' pushed inta a corner by tha press of people.  That was fun 'cause a couple of cut guys that looked like they was in a gang or somethin' felt me up.  I got really hot and started to make so much noise that the conductor came along and locked me in the bathroom.  It's not like they actually did anything too bad to me; I found my undies and even put them back on.<br/><br/>The big conductor-man led me off the train.  He had really nice muscles and it made me feel tingly when he pulled me along.  He said he was afraid I'd cause another scene or somethin'.  Then I smiled and tried to wave as I saw Uncle Sue.  He looked just the same as when he rescued me.  The conductor pushed me forward toward him.<br/><em><br/><strong>“Is she yours?”</strong></em><br/><br/>I stumbled forward and would have fallen if I hadn't run inta Uncle.  He helped me from fallin' with one strong arm.  I loved it.   I stepped back as my trunk was brought out.  I could tell that Uncle liked my dress.  I wore one of my favorite girlie dresses and I know that Uncle liked it because I saw the way he looked at me.<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://www.prlog.org/11056413-cotton-yellow-lace-trim-sweet-lolita-dress.jpg)</div><br/>The conductor had a couple of things to say to Uncle that didn't make much sense.  I don't think he liked the way I behaved.  That was silly but everyone was different or at least that was what Auntie would say.  I did like the one thing he said;<br/><em><br/><strong>”Spare the rod, spoil the child.”</strong></em><br/><br/>That sounded like fun if I was naughty.<br/><br/>I noticed all this out of the corner of my eyes.  My focus was on the girl in front of me.  She wasn't just no girl, she was a girl I rescued sometime ago, except she was more grown up than I remember her last.  I addressed her directly.<br/><br/>Then uncle Sue spoke to me;<br/><em><br/><strong>""Howdy, Sophie.  It's been a while.""</strong></em><br/><br/>I smiled up at him and dipped a little curtsy as Auntie taught me.<strong> ""It's good to see you again Uncle Sue, thanks for letting me visit.""</strong>Then I stepped into his embrace.  It was good to see him again.  Uncle was so strong and manly.  I felt totally safe in his arms and I wriggled against him to snuggle deeper and just feel his muscles.  Uncle smelled of hard work and man stuff and I just about melted right there.  I sighed and laid my head on his chest.<br/><em><br/><strong>""How ya'll been, Sophie?  What you got there?""</strong></em><br/><br/>Stepping back a bit I handed my letter to him.<strong> ""That's a letter from aunt Amelia for you Uncle.""</strong>I stood quietly in the crowd and watched him read.  Or at least I watched him for a little bit before I saw a cool video on the new stand display and walked over to watch something about a shiny new dress that all the stars were wearing.  When he was done I looked around as he called me over.<br/><br/>Uncle wheeled my trunk over to a cute little hover car thingie.  I had never been on one and when I got on I bounced a bit to see how the hover thing worked.  I sat next to Uncle as he drove off and watched how he was driving and how things worked.<br/><em><br/><strong>""Why was that conductor all flustered about ya'll?  What kind of trouble was you causin' on that there train, Sophie?""</strong></em><br/><br/>I was dying to know what the letter said but I figured I could sneak it out of uncle Sue's pocket later.<br/><br/><strong>""Oh, tha conductor got angry 'cause a couple of tha guys got me inta a corner and we was neckin'.  Then I pulled the emergency brake lever just ta see if it really worked.  Tha whole train stopped and I think that was why we was late.  I was perfectly behaved.""</strong>"

Which for her particular purposes was really no bad thing.<br/><br/>She needed to keep her hand in, to practice, and since you don't shit where you eat and the best place to do so was in a crowd...<br/><br/>Most of those present were wearing union flashes, tabards and vests and badges. She didn't have one and though she was dressed in work clothes, she was drawing a little more attention than she liked. Not a huge issue, she was used to that after all.

Of course it had helped that she used to look younger than she was and in the core few people were that aware or would even suspect a kid of what she was about to do.<br/><br/>She moved through the tightest closest area's of the crowd, bumping into people here and there, her hands deftly taking the opportunity to lift things from pockets, palm them, and deposit them in her bag.<br/><br/>A pass of two different crowds and she found a quiet spot just outside town to go through everything, take what was worthy, wipe down the various wallets and other personally identifiable filler that she was going to discard and then find a convenient spot to 'ditch'. Somewhere that wouldn't be discovered at the hurry up or would just be ignored as was.<br/><br/>Back on Ariel she would have taken this stuff back to an incinerator that her gang had access to, though there she could take the various credit chips and other electronic devices to one of their fences and make money on those too. Here on the rim things were different, just cash and vouchers. Not a great haul, at all, but hey, these people were not rich and it was more about practice, keeping skills sharp, than making money.<br/><br/>Isi found a fast food container in the streets that was large enough and ditched all the cleaned up paraphernalia in that before dropping that into a plastic bag, tying it off and then ditching the whole thing in a waste bin.<br/><br/>She had some small amount of cash and a few vouchers for the local company store. She wasn't sure it would be a good idea to use those, not a good idea at all. She wasn't local, and despite not being all that memorable, deliberately, those who were visually striking didn't tend to do too well in her line of work, she would likely be remembered. Still, they could be useful at some point.<br/><br/>She headed into town to have a look around and see what was available, what strange foods they had, what clothes were on sale, who was on the streets despite the strike.</div>"

She didn't envy him the task of having to babysit such a nymph on board a ship full of men!<br/><br/>Watching them walk off she turned her attention back to Lance and Phil with a mischievous smile on her lips,""Let's make this a quick trip so we can get back and see what trouble the little nymphette manages to stir up while we're gone.""<br/><br/><em>""Also, would you two go ahead and leave me in the town? I've got a legitimate business to do, and hopefully with the guys who aren't running this place.""</em><br/><br/>""That's fine, but you might miss half the fun. That girl has the look of someone not entirely there, I am going to either find her very annoying, or very amusing I think. Perhaps both,"" she added and climbed into the back of the mule next to Phil and shot a smirk at Lance, ""I flew us here, you get to drive now."""

I gave him a once over wondering if he was hairy underneath his clothing.  The blond woman had the nicest bobbed haircut and pretty skin.  I wished I could be as pretty as her.  She seemed to be friendly as well and I looked back at her and met her eyes with a smile.  She was really good friends with uncle Sue as she caressed his arm.  I'd have to ask uncle Sue if they were sleeping together and if I could watch.<br/><br/>I made a curtsy just like I told uncle Sue I would.  My movements were surprisingly graceful and practiced and may have reminded one a bit of Serenity.<strong> ""I'm pleased to meet you Keri, Lance and Phil.  My name is Sophie DeLaurents.  I promise not to touch any buttons on the bridge if you will let me come look around.  But if you need any buttons pushed I'd love to push yours."" </strong>I turned to Lance and stepped up to him;<strong>""Oh, you are the engineer?  I made really good friends with the engineer on the liner I was on.  I love engine rooms with all the buttons and nobs and big long rods.""</strong>I couldn't help but lick my lips a bit as I thought about the rod in that engineroom that took up most of my attention.<br/><br/>I would have talked more but the three I had just met seemed to be in a hurry and uncle Sue too me by the arm again and took me up and into the ship.  I waved good bye to the three and went to meet the rest of the crew.  Girias was another strong one.  I would like him I new.  Richard seemed stern and busy but nice.<br/><br/>I curtsied again to the captain, being sure to lean forward a bit to show off the front of my pretty dress and my chest.  I knew that men liked my chest and I liked that they liked it.<strong> ""Pleased to meet you captain.  You have a wonderful ship.  She feels safe and strong and even though she is not as shiny as a nice liner I think she has much more character.  It will be fun!""</strong><br/><br/>Listening to uncle Sue talk to the captain I hoped that he would let me stay a long time or at least until I went back home to aunt Amelia.  Halfway through the conversation I butted in.<strong>""Oh I can clean and sweep and help uncle Sue cook captain.

You go with Sue for now.""</strong></em><br/><br/><strong>""Much obliged, Captain,""</strong>I said, tipping my hat to him.  At least he didn't look like he wnated to ravage Sophie then and there.<br/><br/>I led Sophie up past Elfi and Mya, making quick introductions in passing that didn't allow dialogue.  I then gave Sophie a brief tour of the ship's more important parts to me.<br/><br/><strong>""Try to remember where everythang is, Sophie.  We was just in the cargo hold.  Now, this here's the bridge.  It's where Keri spends most of her time.  Lots of buttons here.  <em>Don't touch none of them, understand?</em>  You won't just be late on a train - we can end up stranded out in the black or wrecked on the surface of some world.  Ah'm a-learnin' how to drive this ship, so Ah may be up here if ya'll can't find me... because Ah'm a learnin'.""</strong><br/><br/>I tried to make it sound like nothing was going on between me and Keri.  Not that there was.  Not that I didn't want want something to happen.  We moved to another part.<br/><br/><strong>""And this here's where Ah spend much of my time, the galley.  Ah'm the cook of this boat, and this is where Ah make our meals and where the crew eats them.  Again, don't touch nothin' unless Ah say you can, Sophie.  Can't have a fire startin' here and spreadin' all over.""</strong><br/><br/>I showed her the facilities, then took her to my personal area.<br/><br/><strong>""And this here's mah bunk.  It's where Ah keep my stuff and where Ah sleep.  Ah guess ya'll be sleepin' here, too.  Ah... got some thangs to take care of... so, Ah need you to stay here.  Ah'll get your thangs and set up a cot for ya'll.  Don't go nowhere, just stay right here.  Lance left a datapad and some vid disks, so ya'll can play with that.""</strong><br/><br/>I walked out and left Sophie in my bunk, then closed the hatch behind me.  I took a deep breath, but I had a bad feeling.  I locked the hatch from the outside so no one could get in... or out.<br/><br/>With everyone gone, it was just Sophie and me on the ship.  Seeing Sophie brought back a whole lot of memories of Alyce, and dealing with Sophie was an experience that was both distressing and arousing.<br/><br/>What did it all mean?  I couldn't have feelings for Sophie.  She was my niece.  Well, not really my niece.  She was the daughter of my one and only true love.  It'd been so long since I laid with anyone.<br/><br/>I wasn't no monk or preacher, but I thought I could live the stoic life until I met my end and went to a better place to join Alyce.  Was this some kind of sign?  Was Sophie here to get me to think less of dying and more about living again?  Was this some test or tease by Alyce?  Or was Sophie someone Alyce would have wanted me to have?<br/><br/>As I wandered the ship, I ended up on a catwalk looking at the backside of a prone Elfi.  I was pretty sneaky even when I didn't mean to be, and I overheard her talking to someone.<br/><br/><strong>""Hey, there, Elfi?  What you up to?""</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

He had a look over the crowd to spot what sort of weapons, if any, these folks were packing.<br/><br/>Oddly enough, none of the Strikers were armed with any obvious guns but there were a few things- tools or other scrap- that could be used as a deadly weapon with some strength and anger behind the swing. Their barricade would slow down anybody who decided to attack them for a moment or two, which would give him and Mya time to get a bit further away.

You go with Sue for now.”</strong> He mumbled before he could focus back on the business at hand. They were on a deadline after all and he couldn’t use another distraction right now.</em><br/><br/><strong>""Oh thank you captain, thank you.  Ah will do everything I ken ta please you, jest anythin.  Ah have a really good imagination and Ah'm sure I can think of lots of nice things ta do fer you.""</strong>I smiled and flipped my hair as the captain dismissed me and Sue led me off.  Ah let mah skirts flip to show a fair bit of calf and knee as I skipped off.  As I left the bridge with Uncle I looked back over my shoulder and blew the handsome captain a kiss.<br/><strong><em><br/>I led Sophie up past Elfi and Mya, making quick introductions in passing that didn't allow dialogue.  I then gave Sophie a brief tour of the ship's more important parts to me.</em></strong><br/><br/>Then he brought me down to a big room where there were two women.  I smiled and curtsied to each of them.  They were both pretty in their own ways.  One was the shy little girl.  She was pretty and they said she was the ship slave.  I hadn't thought much on slavery except'n how exciting it would be to be owned by some strong and sexy master like uncle Sue or the captain or... that engineer, Lance.  Ah would have to talk to Elfie and see how she liked slavery and if it was a fun and sexy as I thought.  Mya was a doctor and I curtseyed even more deeply to her.  It was always good to be nice to doctors.  I had vague memories of doctors...<br/><br/><em><strong>""Try to remember where everythang is, Sophie.  We was just in the cargo hold.  Now, this here's the bridge.  It's where Keri spends most of her time.  Lots of buttons here.  Don't touch none of them, understand?  You won't just be late on a train - we can end up stranded out in the black or wrecked on the surface of some world.  Ah'm a-learnin' how to drive this ship, so Ah may be up here if ya'll can't find me... because Ah'm a learnin'.""</strong></em><br/><br/>I gazed around with wide eyes as I looked about the ship.  I had been on the liner earlier but I’d spent most of my time in staterooms of the hunky male passengers so all of this was new to me.  I had been in the engineroom a lot but I had been pretty busy bent over a console or on my knees suckling on the most delightful piece of man flesh.  The bridge was delightful and I whipped my hand behind my back quickly as I was about to press a pretty red button on the copilot’s console.  My eyes grew even larger and I stepped back a bit, my butt brushing against another console and buttons as Uncle Sue told me not to touch anything.  At the touch of the console on my butt I jumped forward and pushed into Uncle Sue as I tried to get away from the buttons.<strong>“Ah’m sorry Uncle Sue.  Ah’ll be really, really careful not to touch anything.” </strong>I turned and looked behind me and saw a couple of lights flashing where my butt had pressed.<strong>“Ah… umm… Ah think Ah touched something Uncle… sorry.”</strong><br/><br/>I did catch a little hint in his voice when Uncle talked about learning to fly.  I may not be the smartest but I could understand people’s emotions well and I knew that Uncle Sue must feel pretty strongly about learning to fly.  I would have loved to fly as well but I would rather flap my wings and fly like a birdie than have to mess with all of this complicated but pretty buttons and nobs.  It looked pretty hard.<br/><br/>The galley was really neat and I squealed with excitement when Uncle Sue said he was the cook.<strong> “Ah promise Ah’ll not touch anything Uncle but you have ta let me help in the kitchen.  Ah ken wash dishes or clean vegetables fer ya.  Ah’m really good skinning cucumbers.  Ah have lots of practice with those.”</strong><br/><br/>When we reached his quarters I stepped inside curiously.  I’d been in men’s quarters before but this was where my famous Uncle lived.  It was neat and tidy like my Uncle.  I was going to live here with him, I was going to have a cot of my own!  Oh… that was so neat.  I was so very excited.  Maybe he would let me massage him at night after he had been working so hard.<br/><em><strong><br/>""And this here's mah bunk.  It's where Ah keep my stuff and where Ah sleep.  Ah guess ya'll be sleepin' here, too.  Ah... got some thangs to take care of... so, Ah need you to stay here.  Ah'll get your thangs and set up a cot for ya'll.  Don't go nowhere, just stay right here.  Lance left a datapad and some vid disks, so ya'll can play with that.""</strong></em><br/><br/>I looked sad as he left.  It was hard being lonely.  After a moment I tried the door and it was locked.  That brought a pout to my face but after a moment of looking over the room a smile grew over my face.  Uncle said that Lance had left some video disks and a data pad.  That would be fun.  Then there were all kind of things to look around at.<br/><br/>I found the data pad that Lance left for me.  As I watched the vids I thought how nice Lance had been.  I remembered him; he was the handsome engineer.  I wriggled and touched myself as I thought about that other engineer.  Lance was so much better looking than that guy and much more sexy.  I would have to go and thank Lance in person.  Maybe he would have more videos and games we could play.  I felt the itchy, sexy feeling between my legs and laid back Uncle Sue’s bed.  With my dress pulled up I could touch myself directly.<br/><br/>I moaned and finally came thinking about my handsome engineer.  He would be so much fun as a friend.  I got up and looked down at the bed.  I’d left a little stain on the covers.  I always got really, really wet when I was feeling sexy so I looked around for something to clean it up.  I went over and found a towel and wiped things up as best I could.  The room smelled like sexy girl but there wasn’t anything I could do about that right now.<br/><br/>I was bored after I cleaned up my mess as best I could.  I thought about playing more games but decided that I would wait for Lance to show me how to get past this particularly hard part on one of them.  Besides, there were lots of fun things to find.  I poked around in the room.  There were drawers of clothes and in one box there were some guns that I could not unlock.  Pouting again I decided to keep looking around.  The bathroom was pretty boring; just man stuff like razors and things.  There was not nearly room for all of my things in the bathroom what with make-up and perfume, my own razors and stuff it would be difficult.  I really would need my own bathroom.<br/><br/>Looking around some more I found a large trunk.  It was unlocked and I opened it eagerly.  It held all kinds of funny rubber things plus these whips and straps and buckles.  It looked like a fun game.  I pulled them out and blushed.  I laid everything in the trunk out on the table and touched them all.  There were a couple of big penis looking thingies with straps on them that looked like they buckled.  There were these ball thingies with straps and handcuffs and belts and all kinds of stuff.  I giggled and thought of the dress up games I could play with Uncle or maybe the sexy captain.  I bet the captain would like if I dressed in those leather straps and garters.  I even tried some of the soft little whips with many strands and the big leather ones.  It looked like some of them would hurt.  I wondered if Uncle Sue would use some of the whips on me if I was bad.  Ooooohhh… that sounded good.  I pictured Uncle whipping my white bottom until it was pink.  Maybe if I was really bad the captain and Lance would have to help Uncle.  Maybe they could hold me down while Uncle whipped me 'cause I was naughty.<br/><br/>I really blushed at that thought and then looked around some more.  There was a little silver locket that Uncle had in a little drawer.  The locket was easy to find so I knew he wouldn’t mind if I looked at it.  I only spent a half hour looking for it.   It was in a little drawer under the mattress on his bed hidden underneath a mat.  There was a key to the drawer as well but I’d found the key stuffed in the back of his lower clothes drawer all the way in the back wrapped in some socks.  It was easy…<br/><br/>When I opened the locket I saw the picture of a purty red headed woman.  I loved her smiling face and thought that she looked familiar.  She was a red head like me and had freckles tha same way that I did.  She looked really nice and I wished that I could be her friend.  Then I noticed a button on the side and flipped through a dozen or so photos of her.  She was really beautiful and I wished I looked as good as she did. There was one of her posing naked and I loved the confident way she held herself.  I was nowhere near as poised as her.  Then there were shots of her dressed up in stuff like what Uncle had in his trunk.  I wondered if they were the same stuff and if he’d had that pretty woman in this room.  The background was different though and I was a bit sad 'cause I wanted to be just like that purty woman.  I found myself looking at how nice that woman looked in those things and hoped that I could model them for Uncle.  Eve I could see that he liked her and liked having her dressed up that way.<br/><br/>I kept looking through the pictures 'cause I couldn't stop.  In one picture she was tied up, naked, on a bed, with her arms and legs tied to the bedposts, a blindfold over her eyes and ball thingie in her mouth.  That looked like fun except it would be hard to kiss or suck on something with the ball thingie in her mouth.  Then tha purty girl was standing, bent over at the waist, bound wrists pulled up toward the ceiling while a bar thingie at her ankles kept her open wide and accessible, and a pair of clamps pinched and hung from her nipples.  Her lady part was just as purty as tha rest of her.  Tha clamps looked like they’d smart a lot but they sure made her nipples stick out nice.  I loved the holo that showed just her ass, pale skin with pink areas where it looked like Uncle or someone must have spanked her or whacked her with them whip thingies.  I rubbed myself as I thought about the captain spanking me and Lance using the whippy thingies.  Then there was a really naughty one that showed just the her pussy, shaved bald except for a scarlet letter ""S"" made up of her trimmed red short-and-curlies.  Thet must be an ‘S’ fer Uncle Sue.  AH bet he'd like if I did that for him as well .  My curlies were pretty thick and I could make a nice 'S' for him.  The last one was a holo of tha woman’s face only again, with her mouth wrapped around ah really nice cock.  She wore nothing but them leather binding thingies, a collar and a leash and looked really sexy.<br/><br/>I was pretty hot after look'n at all them photos.  Uncle Sue sure had a sexy girlfriend.  Maybe I could find some man ta let me dress in such sexy things and play games with him.  Or maybe two men... ooohhh!  A wicked thought came ta my mind.  I could play dress up while Uncle Sue was away.  Giggling I went over and touched the different things. First Ah put on a collar and leash and smiled at how sexy it looked.  I buckled these leather straps to my wrists, upper arms and ankles.  They had rings ta tie some one up to a bed just like that pretty girl.<br/><br/>Next I took out a couple of the ball thingies.  One of them was shaped kinda like a man's thingie so putt'n it in my mouth would be like suck'n on a guy.  I thought that would be really sexy.  I strapped it on and found it wasn't too uncomfortable once I learned ta breath through my nose.  I posed again in front of the mirror and then set up mah camera in mah phone ta take pictures of me.  I could give Uncle tha pictures jest like tha pretty woman in his locket.<br/><br/>Then Ah tried the little nipple clamps.  Those hurt but I found a set that had little tassels on them and decided they were so purty that a little hurt was ok.  'Sides They were clamped over mah nipples through tha dress so they didn't bite to hard.  I could even kinda jump up and down and make the tassels swing in circles.  That was so funny I giggled and made a video of it.<br/><br/>Ah giggle again and got really bold.  Ah raised up mah dress and strapped on that cock looking thingie ta my waist.  I laughed again around the ball in mah mouth 'cause I looked lahk a guy.  I walked around with my hands on my hips like I was one of those police officers that had arrested me that one time and taken me back to the station and searched me.  That time in tha police station was fun.  I spanked myself with the whips and stuff and decided that they hurt as well but not as much as the nipple clampie thingies.  I couldn't get good leverage ta spank myself though so I thought they could hurt a lot more.<br/><br/>Next I got holt of the straps and handcuffs.  I'd always liked shiny handcuffs.  I looked at the picture of the pretty girl and laid back on the bed.  I buckled the chains to my ankle leather thingies and then clamped them with that bar thingie and cuffs to spread my legs apart.  Then began to rub the cock thingie strapped to my privates.  It felt good when I rubbed it because it pressed against my little nubbie.  I pretended I was rubbing off the captain or Lance 'cause I thought they both had big man meat like this one strapped to me.  I bet the movie my camera was making was pretty good 'cause I'd set it to film me in tha bunk.  After a little while Ah was a bit embarrassed 'cuase a girl shouldn't look lahk a man so I took tha man thingie off.<br/><br/>I got really hot and wet and came in a rush of good feeling.  I felt so good that I decided ta handcuff my wrists together behind mah back.  I wriggled and wondered how good it would feel ta have all three of the sexy men I had met in the room ta take charge of me.  I was cuffed down, with a collar, leash, a man thingie shaped ball stuffed in my mouth and tasseled nipple clamps.  There there were all tha big leather bindings on mah arms and legs. It was really funny until I realized I couldn't get to the locks to release myself...<br/><br/>I laid there for a while and tried the bindings. They were really tight.  I tried to yell but the penis ball thingie filled my mouth.  I tried to walk over to the door but the bar on my ankles made it impossible to walk.  I was stuck until Uncle Sue or mebe the captain or Lance came in to rescue me.  I laid back down and decided ta wait.<br/><br/>When the door opened I looked up at Uncle Sue.  I was tied up tight and couldn't move but I did nod at him.<br/>"

That hurt an tha control thet Uncle had over me felt so good.  Ah felt a shudder'n pleasure coming over me as tha spanking took me close.<br/><em><br/><strong>""... takin' mah stuff out... puttin' my stuff on...  and... takin' mah stuff out...""</strong><br/><br/>I spanked Sophie's bottom until it turns a nice shade of pink, but not quite as red as her hair.  She'd be reminded of this moment for a couple of days every time she sat.</em><br/><br/>It did hurt, it hurt a lot.  I cried now even as I pushed ta get more spank'n.  Uncle was right though.  I deserved the punishment and whatever he wanted to do to me was right.<br/><strong><br/><em>""And that's the end of your punishment, Sophie.  But here's a couple more... for good measure.""</em></strong><br/><br/><em>I gave her one more hard slap on each side of her rump.  I let her lie across my lap for a moment.  I fixed her panties, checking for a wet spot on the gusset, then smoothed down her dress and stood her up.  I had her face me as I reached around behind her head to undo the ball gag, but she was still handcuffed.</em><br/><br/>The last couple of spankings sent me over the edge and I stiffened and screamed in mah orgasm.  It felt so very good and I blushed as a little squirt of mah juice dribbled down onto Uncle's pants.<br/><br/><em>I ran my fingers through her hair, getting it out of her face and fixing it up a bit.  I looked into her eyes, then pulled her into me, hugging her as I felt her warm body press against mine.</em><br/><br/>I stood up as Uncle finished and took off the gag.  I collapsed against him and would have fallen had he not held me up.  I melted into him as he hugged me and brushed my long hair back from my tears and sweat.  I was still cuffed but it felt good to be imprisoned and held in his arms.  Sniffling I pressed my head against his chest.<strong> ""Ah'm awful sorry for all thet Uncle.  Ah promise ta be better so's ya ken be proud ah me.  Ah jest ken't help but be nice ta tha people on tha ship but Ah'll try not ta flirt.""</strong><br/><br/>I finally looked up at him with wonder in my tears.  ""<strong>Ya said somethin 'bout mah mamma.  Didja know mah mama?  Yew said she and yew rescued me from somewhere.""</strong>"

If she could have heard what they were talking about, she'd have been glad she was sleeping. In truth, she didn't have much interest in Braxton's love, or sex, life. He had one, that was all the information she needed so long as it didn't suddenly make him ground<em>The Line</em>. While she dozed, broken fragments of dreams flickered through her mind, noting solid, nothing concrete, just images of things she's seen, people she knew, placed she'd been, places she'd only seen in pictures and wanted to go, things/people she'd fantasized about. It all blurred together into a pleasant mish-mash that made her lips curve up into a sweet smile that made the relaxed lanes of her face look even younger than she actually was.<br/><br/>Feeling the mule draw to a stop, she snapped awake almost instantly, eyes alert and focused as if she'd never drifted off at all. Sliding from the mule she flashed the men a grin and sauntered inside to haggle about fuel cell prices with the proprietor of the junkyard/parts shop/fueling station. She wasn't surprised that it was an all-purpose place. On a core planet the businessman might have been able to specialize in just one area, but out this far, you had to have multiple areas of interest for your customers or you weren't likely to keep food on the table!<br/><br/>She didn't get as good a deal as she would have liked, but she didn't do badly either and within a half an hour there was a large, automated, dolly waiting by the mule for Phil and Lance to unload the heavy fuel cells from so they could take them to the ship and keep her bird flying!<br/><br/>With a smirk at the men she hopped up onto the front end of the mule, stretching out on her back, without a word, and sighing as she simply let the warmth of the sun start to sink into her skin. Petite as she was, she would have been rather useless trying to play muscle, that was their job, and while they were at it, she was clearly going to catch some sun! Calling back, she couldn't resist teasing them, ""When you boys are done let me know! I want to get back and find out if we're going to actually make our delivery and get paid!""<br/><br/>She knew Lance still needed to look for some parts and that was fine, she wasn't going to push. She was going to work on her tan while they worked. Without a word to either of them she reached up and lifted her shirt off and over her head, revealing a bikini top the same shade of violet as the tunic she'd just been wearing. The dark shade of purple stood out against the pale smoothness of her skin (which was something she was trying to fix, though being perpetually pale was a pitfall of life in the Black) as she reached up and folded her hands back behind her head and waited for the men to say they were done and ready to head back."

She really wasn't lazy, she was just staying out of the way while the men, who were stronger than her, did the heavy lifting! She considered it working smarter, not harder. Besides, they weren't getting much in the way of free time and she was going to use what she could to soak up some sunlight. It was just about the only good thing she could think of about being on the ground.<br/><br/>When the guys were finally done loading up the parts and fuel cells she slid her shirt back over her head and climbed into the Mule again. She didn't sleep this time, but she didn't chatter either. She was comfortable with Lance and Phil and didn't feel the need to fill the silence with mindless chit-chat. Instead she just tipped her head back and relaxed until they dropped Phil off in town so he could pick up the personal items he was looking for.<br/><br/>With just her and Lance in the Mule she flashed her friend a grin and teased, ""Lazy huh?""<br/><br/>Not waiting for an answer she just laughed and when they reached the ship a few minutes later she hopped out of the Mule and hit the intercom to announce happily, ""We're back from the yard and could use some help unloading the fuel if anyone's around!""<br/><br/>Flashing Lance a fresh grin she gave him a shrug, ""Maybe some of our shipmates are less lazy than I am!"""

The idea of his being in his bunk with her grated wrong along her nerves, despite the fact that Sue had said she was his niece. Perhaps<em>because</em>he'd said she was his niece. As much as she wanted to watch the girl annoy and taunt the Captain, she suddenly realized she didn't like the idea of her with any of the other men on board the Line. It was startling to realize that she felt rather proprietary about them but in a way, she guessed, it made a sort of sense too. She and Serenity were the only free women on board and they'd have had to pay for Serenity's attentions.<br/><br/>Suddenly she laughed as she realized that she had, in the back of her mind, been thinking of them all as<em>her</em>boys.<br/><br/>""Sometimes I am just too silly!"" she announced without any explanation, before commenting on what Lance had said, ""And Sue's not lazy.

The Children of The Line.<br/><br/><strong>”Keri, let me take care of that!”</strong>Braxton said and took the spare parts from the pilot. He wanted to hurry things up but he had given the fuel cells a secret, tentative pull in passing and decided that…that doing the heavy lifting was not a ‘captainly’ thing to do. Right, that was it.

That meant they could drop off the goods and get paid! Being paid was never a bad thing, even if she didn't spend most of what she made. It wasn't like she needed much and some of the crew would likely be surprised to realize just how much coin she had saved up in her bunk. Not that she was sharing that bit of information!<br/><br/>""No problem, Captain. Always happy to avoid the grunt work!"" she said with a laugh before flashing a grin at Lance and holding out her empty hands to emphasize that she was getting out of the physical labor...on the Captain's orders of course!<br/><br/>Turning to head out she saw Sue coming into the loading bay but before she could say anything she noticed the he was leading his ""niece"" around in a pair of handcuffs! Rolling her eyes her good mood evaporated and she didn't stick around to hear anything beyond him starting to say it wasn't what it looked like. From her side it looked like he was leading around a pretty young woman by a pair of handcuffs and after Braxton's little display at dinner the night before she was tired of having people's sex lives shoved in her face. If she wanted to watch she'd buy a porn vid so she could control the content she was seeing!<br/><br/>Muttering, ""Black's cursed<em>men</em>, under her breath, low enough it was doubtful anyone actually<em>heard</em>her, but it was still probably clear enough from the thunderstorm on her face that she was less than happy.<br/><br/>Leaving the bay she went straight to the Bridge, only stopping to kick her shoes off in her bunk. She never bothered with them on the ship, she hated the things actually. If she could get away with not bothering to wear the things planetside as well, she would. It felt so much better, just taking them off, that some of her good mood returned. Granted she knew a part of her was being silly. The men had the right to stick it to any willing woman that would have them, she just didn't appreciate having it all shoved into her face like she was some sort of audience for their play!<br/><br/>Settling into the pilot's seat she let out a soft sigh as she relaxed into it's familiar curves. In the very back of her mind, a tiny voice was willing to admit that part of her annoyance was the lack of sex in her own life. She'd been on this boat eight months now and hadn't had sex the whole time. Having other people's sex lives shoved in her face was a reminder of that. At their next stop she might have to look around a bit and use a bit of her hard earned coin to take care of that problem. She couldn't let this become an issue. She was on a boat dominated by the presence of men, she'd just need to see to it that she got laid the next time they stopped or she was going to get mighty bitchy and that wasn't fair to anyone.<br/><br/>Not that she'd<em>ever</em>admit it to any of them!<br/><br/>Hearing footsteps entering the Bridge she didn't bother to turn and look. She knew from the tread that it was Sue. She could have told any of the regular members of the crew just from the way they walked. Still his steps sounded hesitant and that didn't exactly make her unhappy.<br/><br/><em>""Hey, Keri, would it be alright if Ah came in and watched ya'll expertly pilot the ship to the landing pad?""</em><br/><br/>Looking up at him, a thoughtful expression crossed her face and she remembered the Captain's bitch from earlier that day. Hopping from outside town to the landing pad wasn't even a milk run. After a long moment she shook her head, got up and stretched out on her couch instead, ""No. You can't watch. We don't have to break or enter atmo, we certainly aren't running from anyone, time I let you have a little practice at the controls. You fly her to the landing pad. In exchange, do me a favor and keep your toys in your bunk from now on. You and the Captain have the right to sex when y'all can get it, but that doesn't mean the rest of us should have to watch.""<br/><br/>"

It was slightly spiteful, and she knew it, but it was there and it was outweighed by the humor she felt when he realized that she was telling him he couldn't watch because she expected him to<em>do</em>. The smile on his face was far more gratifying anyway.<br/><br/>And then he started talking.<br/><br/>She almost told him that he didn't owe her any explanations but he never gave her the chance to get a word in edgewise. He kept going like he knew if that if he stopped she'd cut him off and not let him finish. She didn't know if it was something he realized he had done or not, but it was clever on his part even if it was subconscious. If he had done anything else, she never would have listened to it all.<br/><br/>And he wouldn't have gotten to see the look of surprise and incredulity that crossed her face when he ask for her help! Her eyes flashed wide and her jaw literally dropped open and closed a couple times while no sound came out because she simply couldn't think of gorram thing to say to that. What did she really know about teenage girls? Granted she'd been one, but she hadn't been like Sophie! All she'd been interested in was flying and nav charts, getting any chance to sit a cockpit or Bridge that she could scrounge up. Boys had been on her radar, but only barely, and hadn't held the slightest candle to her love of flying.<br/><br/><em>""Uh, would you mind kind of standing behind me while I fly her?  This ain't no shuttle or mule and I'd feel better if you talked me through it.""</em><br/><br/>Back to business. Business was good, business she could cope with. Business didn't include some barely adult teenage nymphette that someone wanted her to help them with. Getting up from the couch she moved to stand behind him, her hands resting on the back of the chair while she watched him go through the pre-flight like it was second nature.<br/><br/>""She may not be a shuttle or mule, but for this milk run the ideas are all the same.

""You'll always win the melanin race and you, lucky bastard, won't end up with a bunch of tan lines like these,"" she added and pulled the collar of her shirt to the side slightly to reveal the thin line of pale flesh left by the strap of the bra she'd been sunbathing in.<br/><br/>Glancing at the controls once more she nodded and flashed him a grin, ""It all looks good. Soon as the Captain gives the word, you're a go.""<br/><br/>"

It looked as though the strikers wouldn't budge and he was fully prepared to start shooting. Then Mya manages to not only let them through but allow The Line to use the landing pad as well. He went back to the ship and let Mya give her report on what had happened and even managed a small grin as the captain looked over to him to see if he had anything to add. He merely nodded slightly towards Mya.<br/><br/>The report done he was ordered to prepare the cargo manifests for the factory. Before he left for his bunk, where a copy of the paper work was kept, he turned to Mya to congratulate her.<br/><br/>""Hey, good work out there. Things mighta turned ugly real quick if you hadn't been the one negotiating."" he didn't exactly gush out his thanks but he never did say much so this meant a lot from him.<br/><br/>That done he turned and made his way to his bunk where he hung his hat on a hook by the door and locked said door to keep out any prying eyes like Sues niece who he hadn't met yet. She seemed like an inquisitive one, which usually translated into annoying. Well, she was here to stay and so he resolved to putting up with what she did. She was cute though...<br/><br/>He brought his attention back to the data-slate in front of him when the ship lifted off. Everything was in order; Government stamps, cargo weight and number of units. it hadn't changed since it had been loaded and it wasn't exactly easy to conceal so it was safe to assume that none of the crew had decided to sneak off the odd piece of sheet metal. Briefly he wondered what exactly one would do with a massive piece of privately owned sheet metal. He had built a shed out of some sheets back on the ranch but unless they planned to sell the metal for scrap it wouldn't be worth their time and energy moving individual sheets. Idle thinking done he prepared a copy of the manifest for the captain and filed his copy away in his trunk. He stuck it atop older manifests, he kept a copy of all the legal shipping The Line had done, it helped keep the Alliance Patrol ships thinking this was a law abiding ship.<br/><br/>Standing and leaving his bunk he wandered around to try and find the Captain. He wasn't entirely sure where to look so he went to the Galley. It was a natural gathering place, so maybe someone would be there who could point out where the Captain was. If not, he could always try his bunk or the cargo bay. Entering the dining area he saw that nobody was there, though the soup was cooking. It smelled great and Richard was definitely looking forward to dinner, though he hoped it wouldn't be as bad as their first night in The Black. Shrugging his shoulders he made his way to the cargo bay, data slate in hand."

Looking down a him, she moved in closer, giving him no real options but to open his knees so she could stand between them, while her hands moved to either side of his head on the chair he was sitting in. Holding his gaze, she let him see the mischief in her own before she leaned in to murmur in his ear, ""If I wanted to be a<em>distraction</em>do you think you could still fly my bird Sue? Could you fly her when it matters, when you're<em>distracted</em>but still need to bring her to ground, or roll someone off our asses? Can you bring her in no matter what?""<br/><br/>He wanted to the fly the ship so they were fair questions, what wasn't fair was the slight arch in her back that pressed her chest against his, or the small roll of her shoulders that she used to tease his chest with the hardened points of her nipples. She was deliberately taunting him and they both knew it. Hell they'd been flirting and dancing around each other for months now and while Keri enjoyed the game, enjoyed the chase, she was also reaching the point where it was either time to get caught...or call it quits. To<em>that</em>end she found herself taunting him further with a soft laugh before pushing away from the chair and spinning it so he was looking out the window once more.<br/><br/><em> I'm ready to do just that here and now, Captain.  With your permission and on your command, of course.</em><br/><br/>Keri smirked once more as Sue told the Captain they were ready to take off. Leaning forward she nipped at his ear playfully and murmured, ""Shall we see if you can fly distracted? Make a milk run a bit of a challenge? What do you think you should win if you land the bird without a single shudder despite my attempts to distract you? Better yet, what do I get when you land like a rock because you're not ready to fly<em>distracted</em>?""<br/><br/>With another laugh she was suddenly gone, flinging herself onto her couch and stretching out comfortably on it. She'd tossed out her challenge, it was up to him whether he'd accept it or not. She wouldn't blame him if he didn't. She didn't exactly give folks the chance to fly the Line on a regular basis and most of his training had been in the shuttle. He probably could have flown<em>that</em>no matter what she tossed at him. But the Line...now that was a different story and she wasn't going to really trust any pilot who couldn't keep their eyes on the sky no matter the situation around them."

She hadn't missed that sharp intake of breath before and wanted to see if she could pull another one from him.<br/><br/>Staying behind him she pressed in close, letting him feel it as her body shifted slightly against him, arms rising and falling, and a flash of violet suddenly puddling in his lap to make him realize that she'd just pulled her shift off. Pressing against his back she let his feel the hard points of her nipples pressing into him, only separated from him by the thin layer of her bra and his own shirt. As her arms came down, her fingertips ran through his hair, smiling as the thick strands slid easily over her hands.<br/><br/>Tipping her head once more she asked quietly in his left ear, ""And just what is it you want from me Sue?

Much as they'd danced around each other before, they hadn't exactly gotten into specifics, now seemed as good a time as any to learn just what those specifics might be. In the back of her mind she wondered, as well, just how riled she might manage to make him before the Captain gave them the word to lift off. The more time she had, in her view, the more likely she was to break his concentration and win their little challenge."

I ain't gonna do it!""</em><br/><br/>Keri laughed at the determination in Sue's voice. This was going to be such a short hop that part of her figured he was likely right, that she wouldn't be able to pull his eyes from the instruments in front of him...that wasn't going to stop her from trying though! When his head leaned back against her shoulder, she continued to stroke one hand through the thick locks, finding herself almost as distracted by the simple pleasure she got from toying with his hair, as he was. She really could have just stood there for some times stroking the softness of his hair. You didn't expect that from a rough and tumble man like Sue, but it was soft and thick and she relished in the sensation against her fingertips.<br/><br/>Feeling the ship turn smoothly, she let a small smile curve her lips. It hadn't had the slightest shudder or dip to it and she felt a surge of pride in his skill even while feeling a surge of annoyance at it too. She didn't like to lose and was fairly certain she was going to!<br/><br/><em>Of course, having you lie still while I use my hands on you might be a challenge, but I'm eager to show you I can handle you as well as this ship.""</em><br/><br/>She couldn't help it, when he finished describing what he wanted from her, she chuckled softly and tipped her head down to his ear once more, her breath warm and voice as she nibbled along the edge of his ear, ""I'm not exactly known for staying still, you're going to have to be rather creative if that's what you want Sue,"" she teased but didn't offer to take him up on the challenge aspect in his words. She was going to lose one challenge to him already, that was enough for one day!<br/><br/>No one else might have noticed the ship's landing but Keri, who was usually the one at the controls did, and had to admit she was impressed. Not so much as an extra shiver ran through the girl and if she hadn't had a bet riding on it she'd have been far happier about it. Even before he said he was claiming victory, Keri knew she'd have to cede it to him. He'd surely managed to fly straight and land true even while she was trying to distract him.<br/><br/>Clearly she was going to need to learn a few new tricks!<br/><br/>Watching him inhale her scent from her shirt she let a grin tug the corners of her lips. He wouldn't catch much other than the scents of soap (and none of that scented fru-fru girly stuff!) and sunshine and just the barest hint of that unique scent that came from her own skin out under the sun. Seeing him have to adjust himself as he stood, her grin widened a bit and she held her hand out for her shirt while he was speaking.<br/><br/><em>""So, how did I do, coach?  I think that could have gone a bit smoother, but I also think I'm going to have to claim victory this time.  What can I say?  I have a great teacher in you.""</em><br/><br/>""You did well, and you know damned well you won the dare. Teacher's impressed. Next time we're going to need a longer run...and I will have to play dirty,"" she added with a laugh.<br/><br/>A laugh that faded when he stepped in close and put his hands on her hips to pull her in close against him. She hadn't put her shirt back on yet and shivered slightly as the material of his own shirt scraped across the tender flesh of her belly. Before she could comment on his not having time to claim his prize yet she was gasping in surprise at the sudden grip in her hair that tipped her head back for him. Without thinking she, unconsciously, did as he'd ordered and closed her eyes, her tongue darting out across lips that parted slightly, in obvious preparation for his to claim them.<br/><br/>She wasn't disappointed either. She knew he had to feel the shiver that ran through her when he drew her upper lip between his own. It made warmth sing down to the core of her body and her hands reached up, fingertips sliding up along his arms so that one hand could cling to his shoulder and the other could stroke along the back of his neck, nails scraping gently as he deepened the kiss. She let his tongue slide passed her lips and met it with her own, caressing, teasing, and having to fight the urge to growl when he broke away and mentioned that there was work to do.<br/><br/><em>After the crew has supper, I'll have you for dessert.</em><br/><br/>Stepping back from him, she gave a full shudder, without caring that he saw, before laughing once more and tugging her shirt on over her head and couldn't resist teasing him,""Promises, promises. We'll see how good you are to your word on that one. Unloading all that cargo is rough work. We'll see just how much stamina you have after all that<em>and</em>cooking dinner! Poor old man might need some rest after such a long day!""<br/><br/>Waiting until he was down the hallway she turned and all but fell into her pilot's chair, the seat still warm from him sitting in it and felt her body shiver once more. He'd mentioned her staying still and she already knew he had had a pair of handcuff which made her start wondering just what else might be hiding out in Sue's cabin. What else he just might be thinking of using to prove he could ""handle her as well as the ship"". Looking at her console she gave it a slight slap and muttered at the boat, ""Did you have to fly quite<em>so</em>smooth for him? Just had to make me lose that bet didn't you girl? Such a tease you are!""<br/><br/><br/>"

It had been an unusual move to send the indentured servant, but you couldn’t argue with the results. People tended to forget that Mya was more than just a sex toy, a reputation that was in no small part the result of Braxton’s actions. Elfie on the other hand…there was no way in hell that that girl could be useful for anything but simple labor.<br/><br/>Braxton hit the button next to the cargo door and the ramp descended with a loud, pneumatic hiss. The sun was low on the horizon, basking Shadow’s endless prairies in a blood-red sheen but the strike was still going strong. The workers had set up empty barrels to make fires in to keep them warm throughout the night. Others, they used as makeshift drums that they beat incessantly.  The message was clear: no one in Mowa would get any sleep until they got their way. While the strikers noisily held their barricades, the heavily-armed Levetts moved about on the factory grounds.<br/><br/>None of his crew seemed to be in a hurry to move the goods, but by now Braxton was used to their definition of ‘work’. Admittedly, it wasn’t too much unlike his own, but on days like this he really wished it was legal to outfit each and every one of them with the ‘zapping’ collar for lazy slaves that Elfie wore. With a sigh, he took the wheeled mule and attached the prongs that turned it into a forklift. He had to speak with the chief of the warehouse anyway – for the paperwork and to get paid – so he might as well deliver the first roll of steel sheeting himself. If he was lucky, he could ask for another forklift to make things go faster.<br/>"

If someone were to search the smuggler, it wouldn't be too hard to find the card he had swapped out for his last ace, one of the same suit in Wally's hand.<br/><br/><strong>""It was nice to play with you, sir. Now, if you'll excuse me, I really need to be returning to my ship,""</strong>Phil said, scooping up the chips and making a beeline for the door."

Taking a breath Levi saw the extra Ace. Phil had cheated, one that probably explained why he was keeping up as well as he had been. And two it meant this whole situation was about to go bad. Levi smiled a bit,<strong> ""Well damn it all.""</strong>she said sitting back and shaking her head. Levi picked up her cash and started to stuff it back into her corset.<strong> ""I think I'm about done with this game. I have to find a ride anyway.

Apparently, the local utility workers had joined into a general strike and Mowa was dark safe for a few windows where wise folk had stockpiled on candles and petroleum. Here and there, barrel fires showed the position of the striker posts. The night seemed peaceful and quiet so far. There was no telling how Cookie could be sure that trouble was brewing but Braxton decided to trust the man’s instincts. Better to be safe safe than sorry.<br/><br/>No sooner than he had finished the thought, bright white lights flared up at the railway station and a fast train came to a screeching halt. Immediately, the striker positions nearby burst into noise and activity. There were shouts and screams. It was hard to tell in the darkness, but it looked like the Levetts were tearing down the barricades, opening a corridor.<br/><br/><strong>”God-dammit, Cookie!”</strong>Braxton cursed under his breath and took his mike from his shoulder. The man was like a psychic when it came to violence! Braxton pressed the button for the ship’s public announcement system.<br/><br/><strong>”This is the captain. Trouble’s afoot. It looks like…”</strong>Braxton peered out into the darkness, trying to make sense of the action in the distance. The streets of the ‘corridor’ were lit by road flares and the Levetts were beating back the strikers with their batons while a huge group of men marched from the station to the factory.<strong>”…like they are bringing in strikebreakers. Let’s see how the strikers take it. We are still finishing up our loading operation but I want every one to be prepared for anything. Mya, get your emergency bag!

She wanted to be near the Coms in case the Captain radioed back instructions and she wanted to be near the flight controls if a fast exit was needed. She<em>did</em>however, duck off the Bridge for a couple moments to change her clothes. If it came to fighting she didn't want to be doing it in shorts and a tunic. Instead she shimmied into a pair of denim pants that could have been painted on, a white button up shirt and a brown leather vest over it. With the boots she paired it with, and the cut of the clothing, it almost looked stylish. What wasn't readily apparent was that the vest was, just slightly, thicker than average and would provide some extract protection against the edge of a blade. Wouldn't do any good against the point of one, or a bullet, but she didn't have the credits for that kind of coverage and if they needed it they were probably humped anyway!<br/><br/>Around her hips she strapped her gun belt with her small six-shooter and the sheath that held her favorite dagger strapped against her thigh. Odds of her needing either were minimal but they were the best security blankets money could buy her. She was far more likely to be pushing the Line into a hard burn to get the off-world than she was to be fighting, but she liked to be prepared.<br/><br/>By the time she was back on the Bridge, she heard the Captain's voice over the internal Coms,<em> ”…like they are bringing in strikebreakers. Let’s see how the strikers take it. We are still finishing up our loading operation but I want every one to be prepared for anything. Mya, get your emergency bag!

Just promise me that whatever happens, you will shoot last.”</em><br/><br/>Strikebreakers, scabs...Keri cursed under her breath and started running through pre-flight checks. Things wouldn't be likely to get anything but ugly with the company bringing in workers to try and break up the strike. In fact she'd seen them get damned ugly, damned fast, when a company was trying to break up a strike. Once she'd seen them turn deadly and, not for the first  time in her life, she was suddenly glad she was a pilot and not some rim world factory worker!<br/><br/>While she was flipping switches and checking gauges, anyone on board would be able to feel the gentle hum that was the engines<em>just</em>beginning to turn. They weren't on full throttle by any means but she had them idling, gentle-like, so they could be kicked into gear and off this rock in just a few seconds if the Captain gave the word."

Ah gots uncle Sue's shoot'n arns fer him.""</strong>Despite the urgency and the fear I smiled and pulled my blouse down.  A cute little .25 caliber lady's pistol nestled safely in my cleavage.<strong>""Ah'm ready fur bahr as well Captain.  Ain't nowhere else in mah cloth'n ta hide a pistol.""</strong>I twirled a bit, my tight shorts and cut off blouse leaving nothing to the imagination and certainly nowhere to conceal a handkerchief let alone even a small pistol.<br/><br/>Even as I talked to the captain I looked around frantically for uncle Sue."

Ah gots...  mmmmm...""</strong>I left off in a soft moan as Mya pressed her body against mine.  The soft, warm feel of Mya's body felt so unlike a man yet so desirable as I melted into her.    There was no where to move even had I wanted to as Mya kept me trapped between her and the bed.  All along the length of my body from hips to stomach, soft mounds of breasts and chest there was nothing but heat and the pleasing sensation of gentle but firm power in Mya's taunt figure.  My hands came up behind Mya's back to curl up over her shoulder blades as I pulled myself against her.<br/><br/>I gazed up at her face, my mouth inviting a kiss as she spoke in a soft, breathy whisper.<strong>""Ah'll share mah...""</strong>Everything went wet and electric as Mya's lips touched mine.  My lips glowed with a heat that spread down through my breast and tight nipples and into the heavy, sodden mass of my sex.  My eyes closed as I drank in the pleasure of her touch; once... twice... thrice... My tongue flicked out like a shy little mouse and licked at Mya's tongue as the other tasted my lips.  As Mya pressed back into the kiss I let my lips fall open and accepted the exploration of my mouth.<br/><br/>I gloried in the feel of another woman against me, old memories of school and training flooding my mind with knowledge of how to please a woman.  Everything was different with Mya as she was soft, curved and yielding with steel underneath unlike the overt hardness of a man.  My nipples had always been far larger than other girls and a source of embarrassment and now they perked up almost painfully against my shirt as I ground my chest and hips against Mya in a slow, sensuous undulation.  The heat that was filling me was slow to build be deep and wide unlike the sharper intensity and need that I felt with a man.<strong>""Ooohhh Mya..."" </strong>I moaned into the kiss as I surrendered my senses and body to her."

The leather of his boot was ripped open and there was something<em>wet</em>seeping out, but Braxton found he could stand as he clumsily got back on his feet.<br/><br/>Just as he wanted to peek outside again, gun in his hand, the mule came gunning up the cargo ramp at breakneck speed.<br/><br/><strong>“Holy shit, Sue!

Even if he didn’t particularly<em>like</em>getting shot at or run over, the captain had to admit that combat had something<em>exhilarating</em>about it. It made him…smile.<br/><br/>There was no reply. Instead, Braxton watched in horror as the mule ran headlong into the rear wall of the cargo hold. The entire ship shook from the impact.<strong>”Sue?

There's nothing Girias likes more than relaxing with a nice glass of booze, putting his feet up and just looking at the stars in the universe. The Second thing he likes the most, however, was being in a fight. Gunfights took his preference because of the ability to quickly dish out immense amounts of pain.<br/><br/>However, he was tied up by the Captain's order. No shooting, or else there'll be trouble. Trouble has brewed and exploded in their faces, one of the reasons why the captain now had a hole in his leg. He had his Winchester, Bessy, propped up already. Gun stock to his shoulder, trigger finger on its goal, rest of his hand resting on the reloading mechanism. He never heard anything as enjoyable as the next words the captain spoke, well yelled.<br/><br/><strong>""Now, I know that I said no shooting back, but I swear by the Holy Mother Mary of Grace and Mercy that if one of these mother-fucking, donkey-loving sons of bitches hurts just a hair of my little Jien Huo*, I am going to riddle them full of holes.""</strong><br/><br/>Girias enjoyed it so much that he didn't care about the 'caring' words spoken about the Captain's pet.

Girias took several steps forwards, he slowed moved towards a crate for cover. During his walking, he aimed at every possible person to take aim at the crew in turn. When his sights found a man aiming a gun directly at the mule and letting off several rounds he took aim at the man and fired at his chest, trying to score a hit and take the man out.<br/><br/>His aim wandered off, looking for others who threatened the girls trying to rescue Sue. His fingers worked the mechanism, the gun spilling out the spent cartridge and loading a fresh one, just as he arrived at the crate. He kneeled behind it, gun resting on top of it, making sure he exposes as little of him as possible while still being able to oversee and protect everything. It was a standard flanking manouver, but it did its job for safety.<br/><br/>""Come on girls, I got you covered.

When he arrived he took up cover behind one of the door panels and took a few deep breaths to calm himself again. He was still running on adrenaline and he was one of the few combat ready crew members. He waited until the current hail of bullets sporadically stopped to pop back out, raise his Winchester, take aim and fire at one, maybe two enemies if they were close before popping back into cover.<br/><br/>""Captain, this mission feels like my birthday present.

One-ton rolls of sheet steel lay about the wreckage like giant marbles. Twisted pieces of yellow metal poked out under one of them, indicating where the mule had come to its rather final rest.<br/><br/>“Now that’s just peachy!” He exclaimed and fussed about with the wreckage, trying to calculate in his head just how much the repairs and new mule would set him back before deciding that the only thing he should be doing with his head right now was putting whiskey inside.<br/><br/>He limped to the galley and found it deserted. Pots and pans were strewn about everywhere. Sue, of course, was not around to clean up and Elfi wasn’t either. He basically had no idea where the slave was. She had been outside with Sue when the shooting had started, that much was certain. So either she had used the chance to run away…or her body was now lying amongst the strikers strewn about the landing pad at the cannery. Either way, he couldn’t go back to retrieve her. Not after Cookie had taken out a dozen or so of the Levetts with his rifle. They hadn’t even been paid, yet, but Braxton felt that they would be very unwelcome if they returned to Mowa now.<br/><br/>Fortunately, he found a bottle of whiskey and allowed himself a double, followed by another double making it a quadruple. That was the kind of math he<em>could</em>do in his head, although he tended to lose count once he got into the double-digits. It dulled the pain of the financial losses for the moment, but walking around still reminded him of his more personal losses suffered during the battle.<br/><br/>He got to the infirmary to get his leg wound taken care of, but all he found there was Mya enjoying quite another kind of ‘tender loving care’ in the operating room. Considering what he knew of her, it didn’t surprise him much that the doc was playing for both teams, but it<em>did</em>give him quite the rise to watch the action. He considered for a moment to walk in with a witty comment on his lips, rip open his shirt and join into the action like they did in the saucy movies… but with the damaged ship and a damaged leg on his mind, he just quietly grabbed a bandage and left. He would roast Mya later. Sue looked like he would live and that was certainly to her credit, even if he had considered putting a bullet in the man himself just a day ago, so she probably deserved some R&R, even if he wondered what Sue had to say about the doc getting it on with his 'niece'.<br/><br/>His final stop was the cockpit where Keri didn’t look too happy about the entire situation, a feeling he shared.<br/><br/><strong>”What happened out there? And where the hell is Lance?”</strong>He asked the pilot.<strong>”I was really too busy getting shot at and then trying not to get crushed by lose cargo to really pay attention, but it sure sounded and <em>felt</em> like we did this hop on only one engine.”</strong><br/>"

Girias managed to reholster his pistol and held on to Bessy with his right hand.<br/><br/>When The Line landed again, he stumbled but this time he was more prepared and didn't hurt himself this time. He saw the Captain walk away in annoyance and Girias decided it would be stupid to annoy him so he decided to sit back. He took a seat on a nearby box and caressed the bruised ribs. He just sat there for a while, just resting his body and stared at the bulkhead. Eventually, he threw a nearby empty bullet casing at it and cursed at it.<br/><br/>""You stupid thing ... Couldn't you have shut like you should've?""<br/><br/>As if by wonder, the bulk door suddenly responded with a knocking noise. Girias looked at it confused and it took him several seconds, and a drop in his adrenaline levels, before he registered what has truly happened. With a push of the button, the cargo bay door opened again. Ofcourse it goes Open easy enough ... Once the door opened far enough he could see who it was that had knocked on it.<br/><br/>""Well hello there, Phil. You missed all the fun ... Oh, looks like you didn't after all. Come in, the Captain headed to the bridge. I'll escort you guys there.""<br/><br/>He winked to Phil during the middle part of him speaking, to put further emphasis on Phil and his new guest."

Mya’s mouth widened to a soundless ‘O’ – of both pleasure and surprise – as Sophie slipped a finger in the doctor’s ass.<br/><br/>He felt very much tempted to watch this further escalation of their play but it was an opportunity too good to pass up. Of course silently keeping to watch was the gentlemanly thing to do. Well, the second-most gentlemanly thing to do after briskly walking by and never speaking a word of what he had seen, but Braxton had an agenda. Mya was his little toy. He didn’t mind much seeing her with another man – and not at all seeing her with a girl – but it was necessary from time to time to keep the little core princess on her toes or she would start to put on airs of propriety. Braxton couldn’t have that, or their little ‘games’ would be over.

A girl who was officially Sue’s niece.<br/><br/>Had the woman no shame? The thought brought back memories of what he had done with – and to – Mya over the past few months. After due deliberation of the facts and the large number of samplings, he had to concede that, yep,<em>she probably didn’t</em>.<br/><br/>Mya’s demands put Braxton in a tight spot. The ship needed a medic and he couldn’t afford anyone nearly as good as her. On the other hand, he already<em>was</em>in a tight spot: The ship was damaged and it was unclear when she would fly again, the Levetts were on the look for them and he didn’t have any money for repairs. If she were to pay off her indenture in one go; then he would be solvent and flying again.<br/><br/>“Your …<em>actions</em>… the last few days were indeed impressive and I’d sure like to see more of it.” Braxton insinuated. “And I know your family has money. Fact is, I could really use some of that right now.” Braxton said. “But for whatever reason, so far you found it less humiliating to bend over and be my little bitch then to ask them for it. What has changed? You say you want to stay on my crew, so it’s not an easy delivery run going sour, getting shot at, running afoul of the law and being stranded on this rock with no job prospects.

She didn’t avert her gaze like she had so many times in the past. “So you don’t care anymore what your people think because you don’t intend to see them again anytime soon, at least not for more than a brief visit. Family’s always trouble…” Braxton nodded. He knew from experience. “Well at least you finally found the balls …or whatever… to do something about it. Hell, maybe you even<em>are</em>cut out for life out here, not that I like the consequences much. And you know that I can’t pay you like they would in the core. Regular spacer pay, that’s all I have to offer, and let me tell you: it ain’t much. And if things go sour with the law, well, then you ain’t the indentured who has to tag along anymore; you hang – or whatever – with the rest of us. But if this is what you want, well, I guess I can’t stop you and I’d prefer to keep you on board, even as a freewoman.” Braxton looked at Mya again. There was a certain sense of…<em>loss</em>involved here.<br/><br/>“I still own you until you can cough up the money. And there is no proper bank around these parts.” Braxton cautioned Mya “But I guess making the most out of the time I have left would be a bad start for our new relationship. So…” He pointed vaguely at the ship, the Verse in general and at Sophie in particular “…enjoy your freedom!”<br/><br/>Braxton got up slowly, carefully shifting weight to his wounded leg until he was sure that he had full use of the limb again. Yes, making a personal sacrifice to keep the doctor on board had been the right choice. It would be hard to find someone like her.<br/><br/>The infirmary doors hissed and parted for the captain. He leaned on the doorframe and looked at the now free woman, his ‘core princess’.<br/><br/>“And if you ever change your mind and want to revisit our former deal – for a year or just a night – you know where you can find me.”<br/>"

But before we go to the core, we need to get ourselves a few repairs, a new paint job and some respectable cargo, too. To afford that, we need some money on hand. Now Phil mentioned that the Levetts are expecting some ‘action pay’ to come their way this afternoon with the 5’o clock train. The robber barons are paying their workers in corporate chits, but that shit won’t float with hard-boiled people like the Levetts. That train will be carrying some real good stuff; gold, alliance credits, or whatever valuables the cannery owners could scrounge up on short notice. I suggest, seeing as they are murderin’ bastards and all, we avail ourselves to some of their hard-earned blood money and then burn hard for the black. They are already our enemies <em>and</em> they can’t report us to the feds. ‘Cause if the feds get us, we will all be in court tellin’ nasty stories about what the Levetts did in Mowa and they will hang right beside us. So we do the deed right quick, retire to Athens and use the money to get the ship fixed up and then cross the core from Osirus to Ariel, so you and Mya can get some banking done.

Granted she had no intention of taking him up on his demand that she learn more combat skills, but he'd just have to deal with that because she wasn't going to let him punish her for not learning them either. Her job was to fly them away from danger, she couldn't do that if she was outside shooting a damned gun.<br/><br/>As Sue explained out his relationship to Sophie (she doubted anyone had believed the girl was his niece) she found herself glancing at the girl and feeling a good portion of annoyance and pity. Annoyance with her crew mates for, in her view, taking advantage of the girl, and pity for the girl. No one should be experimented on like some sort of lab rat! She supposed that, due to the way she'd been altered, the girl would have needs that needed taking care of, but she wouldn't be the one doing it. Luckily it seemed that most of the crew was more than willing to help her along (if the looks cast at the girl were any indication!) so she doubted it would be an issue. As long as they kept her off the Bridge (she wouldn't have any incidents like Lance had that had caused their problems in the first place) she'd be fine with the girl.<br/><br/>Listening to them discuss how they would get pair, repaired, and the hell off this damned rock, she was more interested. If they welded the doors shut they had enough fuel to make it to the Core and they'd be more likely to find parts there, Lance was right...but the idea of not getting paid sat wrong with her too!<br/><br/>Finally she shook her head and just looked at everyone, ""Just give me a working engine and tell me where to fly and I'll get us there."""

Several whole trains and an assortment of disconnected boogies and locomotives are standing about (they only hover while under power).  At one side of the site are several large buildings belonging to Shadow Southwest Rail and beyond is a small town called Mirabelle Vale. On the other side is the open prairie. A couple of workmen are moving about the trains, wearing distinctive signal jackets over their blue overalls. Several more men are smoking in the shade next to a building that seems to be a workshop. The sparks and noise from an angle grinder can be seen and heard from within. All in all, there are about a dozen men, give or take. There are no dedicated guards, but this is in the outback so most of the men will be carrying a piece.<br/><br/>The train you are looking for is rather shiny compared to the others, which look decrepit and rusty. The front section of the 'express' even has a proper red paintjob on the passenger cars, while the rear section with the freight and mail boogies that you are interested is painted in a dull grey. A pair of men, one wearing the vest of the rail yard workers and the other a conductor’s uniform are busy outside the locomotive doing refueling and checkup. The doors of the passenger section stay closed but a few bored and curious people – most of them children – are sticking their heads out and looking around while they wait for their voyage to continue. There is no activity at the freight wagons, but the last wagon has a little ‘hut’ in back from where a ‘breakerman’ operates the auxiliary brake if need be. He is wearing a broad-rimmed hat and seems to be asleep under it. There is shotgun resting in his lap.<br/>"

The last wagon had a door in the rear, leading to the precious cargo cars, but it would probably be too dangerous with the breakerman still asleep in his little ‘hut’. So Phil carefully moved past the locomotive and conductor, looking for an unlocked door further down the train without getting seen. Most of the passengers were staying in their seats but a few children stuck their heads out and looked around. But even if they had spotted Phil and Levi, they didn’t raise a racket, thinking nothing of the little game of ‘hide and seek’ that was being played by the adults.<br/><br/>Finally, the two scoundrels found an unlocked door in the passenger section and boarded the train with none the wiser. A few passengers looked up at them but no one really cared. For them, it was just another pair of riders getting on the train, even if this was not really a proper station. The cargo and mail wagons were now just a few cars ahead – as was the coupling they intended to blow. Getting to the last passenger car would be no big deal, but then they would probably have to force open a door and go outside between the cars.

Fleet creation involves making important decisions, rolling dice, and applying the results. Most importantly, you and your fellow players will work together to attach stories to mechanical developments in the fleet creation process. You will use the broad descriptions and details generated from these decisions and transform them into a living, breathing fleet with a history, future, and interesting feel to engender the same sorts of investment that players have for their particular characters.<br/><br/>Defense: Defense describes size and strength of ships that serve to protect your holdings<br/>Subordinate: Subordinate

difficult to control.  If alone on the field they will immediately retreat<br/><br/>Raptors (Military): These units excel at disrupting enemy units, mainly through jamming, or can be used as command and control assets.<br/><br/>Vipers, Basic (Military): The backbone of any air wing.  They are fast, evasive, and proven, though not the easiest to handle.<br/><br/>Vipers, Advanced (Military): More durable and only the best pilots in the colonies get to fly them.  They are slightly slower and less evasive than their predecessors, but their endurance makes up for it, and their<br/><br/>avionics

Like the Scorpions, Wardens were designed for combat during the last war.  Unlike Scorpions, Wardens were actually military assets during the last war.  Some are still in use by some less prosperous

Most particularly I'm looking at Power as that's my bailiwick, and I hope I've got it right.<br/><br/>Kckolbe, as I understand it to purchase a unit with Power points you need to buy the experience level of the unit and then buy the unit itself. So for 4 points you could get a unit of Green pilots flying Viper Mk IIs (1 pt for Green +3 for Viper MkIIs). Am I right? Also the Training Level Table has a listing for XP - does this mean that their Training level can increase as the story continues? Also I'm assuming that for Discipline lower is better, as some of the more advanced unit types reduce the Discipline stat as an intrinsic bonus.<br/><br/>Anyway, assuming this is right here's my idea for our Colonial Defence Force -<br/>* Viper Mark II, Trained (6 pts)<br/>* Viper Mark II, Green (4 pts)<br/>* Viper Mark II, Green (4 pts)<br/>* Garrison, Trained (4 pts)<br/>* Garrison, Green (2 pts)<br/><br/>The Viper pilots of Trained status are pilots with either moderate experience, or considerable experience in the cockpit but who aren't as physically fast or spry as they used to be (I mentioned a shipload of First Cylon War veterans on board a starliner to  commemoration ceremony in Sam's background). The other two units are made up of rookie pilots, cadets who logged a few hours in the cockpit before being expelled from the Academy, and maybe kids who have played enough hours of the BSG version of F-16 Falcon or Wings of War, depending on how accurate flight sims were in the Colonies. The Trained Garrison unit is made up of military veterans and law-enforcement officers (maybe the BSG version of SWAT operators?) hastily scraped together, while the Green Garrison unit is basically a small group of people who know the basics of how to shoot a gun.<br/><br/>Can we recruit more units as the game goes on?"

If anyone can figure a way to improve the Training level of any of my units I'd be eager to hear about it.<br/><br/>By the way, Kckolbe, how big are Wardens? About the same size as Vipers?

Like the Scorpions, Wardens were designed for combat during the last war.  Unlike Scorpions, Wardens were actually military assets during the last war.  Some are still in use by some less prosperous

Stevens, 41 years old (Brendan Gleeson)<div class=""floatright"">(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120105075961/filmguide/images/b/b1/BrendanGleeson1.jpg)</div><br/><strong>History:</strong>Captain Stevens began on the colony of (blank) and joined the military at the age of 18, beginning his career as a maintainer.  His impressive work ethic, stoic attitude and soft-spoken demeanor caught the attention of those around him.  After 15 years of service as an enlisted, then Petty Officer, 1st class Stevens was selected for commissioning, as the vast majority of maintenance commanders come from within their own ranks.<br/><br/>Since commissioning 8 years ago, Stevens has risen through the ranks rather quickly, as most prior enlisted do, and while he has not been as impressive as an officer as he was as an enlisted, there is no doubt as to his continued work ethic, integrity, or the respect of his men.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Captain Stevens still has the same strong work ethic as ever, and is still just as slow to bring his problems to anyone else.  Coworkers argue that his stamina is such that he could outlast the Vigilant, and only sleeps to set an example for those under him.  He's a touch lax on regulations as long as he doesn't see anything hurting the mission.  He can generally be counted on to brew an adequate batch of moonshine.<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>CAG, Valkyrie: Captain James Caulfield, 33 years old (Ed Norton)<div class=""floatleft"">(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080402020216/marvelmovies/images/f/fc/Edward_Norton.jpg)</div><br/><strong>History:</strong>James got his start flying Mark IVs off of the Gunstar Hermes.  Given the predominantly peaceful time period during which he served, the majority of his operations were surveillance, with the occasional pirate raid.  He is somewhat well known (by those who've had to listen to him talk about it) for a raid on a small pirate fleet that had been causing significant political difficulties on his home planet.  He claims he saw the perfect opportunity and led the assault that resulted in zero friendly casualties and 14 EKIAs.<br/><br/>The truth is that he initiated combat without explicit authorization.  The attack was an overwhelming success, and something of a blood bath, but given the political environment, as well as supporting testimony from superior officers defending his decision as the best tactical decision, if not the best procedural one.  While he was quietly reprimanded for his actions, he had too much high level coverage to allow any official administrative action, and the effective result and skillful flying led to his on time promotion and appointment as CAG.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>James has always been a quick-tempered, impetuous man.  His claim to fame has only proven that he has little intention of changing that.  Of course, his claim to fame also showed the possibility of a keen tactical mind, though his records from the assignment did not contain any specific mention of his aptitude for strategy.<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>Commander, Mobility Group, Vigilant: Captain Thomas Bodley, 37 years old (Ben Stiller)<br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://www.celebrity9.com/img/ben-stiller/ben-stiller-1.jpg)</div><br/><strong>History:</strong>There is little of note regarding Captain Bodley's career.  Like Captain Stevens, he also started off as an enlisted maintainer and was accepted for commission.  Unlike Stevens, he applied after only eight years of turning wrenches (including four spent in command-sponsored education courses), leaving him more time to gain rank as an officer.  His career is best described as mundane.  He spent his first three ranks as a transport pilot, having not performed well enough to merit Viper placement.  He was promoted to captain a full year before Stevens, who was once in his chain of command when they were both enlisted.  Since then, he has headed the Mobility Group, where his only distinguishment was scoring a slightly higher score than his predecessor on the annual unit inspection.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Thomas would not be described as a forceful personality.  ""Affable"" and ""harmless"" are often used when describing him.  Even as a pilot, he never made a significant impact, but his record has always been spotless, and the military generally makes a habit of promoting prior enlisted, so it is likely he will make major within a couple of years and end up an XO somewhere.<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>Passenger, Odyssey: Mike Masters, 42 years old (Tom Cruise)<div class=""floatleft"">(http://images.geo.tv/updates_pics/1-10-2013_83191_l.jpg)</div><br/><strong>History:</strong>If it is a role of any significance, Mike Masters has played it.  Known for high adrenaline dramas or outright action movies, Mike Masters is a guarantee that any movie will be commercially successful.  Mike Masters was born Michael Masterson, but altered it to aid his then-budding acting career.   Between his undeniable success and good looks that only seem to have improved with age, audiences have forgiven his eccentricities and occasional forays into political opinion.<br/><br/>Recently, there have been rumors that he has been cast in the upcoming movie ""Pirate Hunter,"" based on a true story.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>It's not just his remarkable looks and acting ability that are inhuman.  Mike Masters is an odd man.  There aren't a lot of details regarding this oddness of his, as pretty much everyone he meets has been forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement.  He is polite to fans and anyone else that ignores the less desirable aspects of his personality, the most observed of which is that he seems to view everyone around him as a servant.<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>Captain, Odyssey: Mark Williams, 45 years old (Dennis Quaid)<div class=""floatright"">(http://www.biography.com/imported/images/Biography/Images/Profiles/Q/Dennis-Quaid-9449266-1-402.jpg)</div><br/><strong>History:</strong>Despite a wide variety of accusations over the past three decades, no one has accused Mark Williams of being disorganized.  By the time he was a teenager he was working as a delivery boy, and before long he learned that he could work other types of deliveries into his schedule.  It started by passing messages.  He had a sharp mind, which meant he could be trusted to remember names, addresses and messages without having to write anything down.  Crime bosses who wanted to communicate without getting noticed could just order some food for a couple of locations and he would appear with an order, ready to commit to memory anything told, and then deliver the second order along with the message.  Granted, sometimes it meant the same house would make multiple orders a night, but if the cops stopped him he was always clean.  The manager would know what was going on, but he wasn't about to pass on extra business and piss off those kind of people.<br/><br/>Before long, he bought the restaurant, expanding quickly, and wasn't just passing messages, he was sending them.  Cutting in on his business?  Delivery men ended up robbed.  Cause problems with one of his partners?  Death.  It's not as though he never got arrested, but he never got convicted of anything damning, just minor theft and obstruction of justice.  It didn't help that prosecutors who failed to bring a good enough case against him were usually consoled by beautiful women that happened to show up with gifts.<br/><br/>Now, he owns the Odyssey, and not wanting to trust the biggest investment of his life to some pilot he doesn't know, he captains it himself.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>(Still being worked)<br/><br/><strong>Position:</strong>Security Chief, BSF: Robert Melcher, 54 years old (Tommy Lee Jones)<div

This was an assumption she had no problem with, especially since the military complex would give her the means to go to medical school, and plenty of opportunity to become a practicing trauma surgeon. Her end goal was actually to, eventually, retire from the military and take up practice on Caprica but the Cylons ended that plan with their attacks on the colonies.<br/><br/>With a fleet on the run she finds herself not only with plenty of trauma's to repair but with a dwindling set of supply closets demanding she research and learn alternative, and sometimes ancient, techniques for surgeries to stretch what supplies they have for as long as possible.<br/><br/><strong>Stats:</strong><br/>Agility - 3<br/>Athletics - 3<br/>Awareness - 3<br/>*Notice -1<br/>Cunning - 4<br/>*Memory - 2<br/>Endurance - 3<br/>Fighting - 3<br/>Knowledge- 3<br/>Marksmanship - 2<br/>Medical - 4<br/>*Diagnosis - 1<br/>*Treat Injury - 2<br/>Persuasion - 3<br/>Reflexes - 3<br/>Status - 3<br/>Survival - 2<br/>*Forage - 1<br/>Warfare - 2<br/>Will - 3<br/>*Discipline - 1<br/><br/><strong>Flaws:</strong><br/><em>Addiction(minor):</em>When she gets stressed, Cass longs for a cigarette. She knows she should quit (and with the human fleet being on the run it's likely she'll have no choice sometime soon) but when the shit hits the fan she either needs a cigarette, or a surgery to focus and calm her nerves.<br/><br/><em>Fear:</em>Growing up on Picon, there were beaches everywhere and as a child she spent more time than she can quantify running those beaches and swimming in the massive ocean that surrounds Picon's only continent. Due to an accident when she was 10 however, she nearly drown and since then has had a crippling fear of bodies of water.

Once she feels comfortable around someone that shy veneer cracks and an ebullient, optimistic, intelligent (though slightly naive and seeming to lack much in the way of ""higher"" education) with an intense interest in mechanic and how things work. The more intricate the mechanical system, the more intent she can become on it until she is able to tune out just about anything that doesn't physically jar her. As a friend she kind, compassionate, loyal, and brutally honest at times if she truly thinks she has something that someone she cares for<em>needs</em>to hear without sugarcoating.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Despite being born on Gemenon, Hardison (named after her father's father, despite her sex, when complications to her delivery resulted in her Mother losing the ability to bear more children) is anything but a religious fanatic. Her parents were always disappointed that she didn't show more fervor but, even as a child, she always had more interest in rebuilding any of the small (and increasingly large as she grew up) bit of machinery was either broken or just wearing out around their home. She'd go to Temple if forced to, but they quickly learned it was simply better to let her find time to worship in her own way and on her own terms...anything else was a battle they didn't want.<br/><br/>Hardison recognized early that she didn't truly fit in with most of Gemenese society and that if she truly wanted to get anywhere in life she was going to have to leave Gemenon. Since her family, like most Gemenese, weren't wealthy, that made her best bet the military. Already having an affinity with mechanics she focused on practical classes in her school to build on her natural talents and when she enlisted was found to already have a secure enough knowledge base (while she might have neglected studying things like music, great works of art, etc. she<em>hadn't</em>neglected studying things like basic viper schematics, and FTL drive designs) to be placed as an Apprentice with the FTL drive mechanic crew and had worked her way up to Specialist before the Cylon attack on the colonies.<br/><br/><strong>Stats:</strong><br/><br/>Agility - 3<br/><em>Zero-G</em>- 1<br/>Athletics - 3<br/>Awareness - 3<br/>Cunning - 3<br/><em>Logic</em>- 1<br/>Deception - 2<br/>Endurance - 3<br/>Fighting - 3<br/>Knowledge - 2<br/>Marksmanship - 3<br/>Mechanics - 4<br/><em>Repair</em>- 2<br/><em>Craft</em>- 1<br/>Reflexes - 2<br/>Status - 2<br/>Survivial - 2<br/><em>Orientation</em>- 1<br/>Warfare - 2<br/>Will - 3<br/><br/><strong>Merits:</strong><br/>- Tech-Head"

Daniel was raised by a strict military mother and father. He was taught not to lie, and any such effort to do so as a child resulted in the harshest punishments. As he grew up, this stuck with him, and though he is not compelled to tell the truth at all times, he can't act, he is a -terrible- liar, can't bluff his way out of a wet-paper bag while playing Triad, and he has virtually no skill with disguises. Even when bending the truth or bluffing as part of his job would come in handy, he finds it incredibly difficult to do.<br/><br/>(more info on the BSG canon-card game 'Triad' can be found here: http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Triad_%28RDM%29)<br/><br/>Merit: Dutiful. By the same token, a sense of 'duty' has been instilled in Daniel since he can remember. Whatever cause or entity he fights for, he does so with deep conviction.<br/><br/>DP: 1<br/>-----------------<br/>Daniel is a native of Virgon, born into a military family, both of his parents having been military before his birth, and indeed, that's how they originally met. Based near the city of Hadrian, Daniel was raised with a heavy sense of patriotism and pride for his colony, and the moment he was eligible to enter military service, he did so with his parents standing right behind him.<br/><br/>Daniel quickly rose through the ranks. The military life came naturally to him, having been exposed to it since birth. He was accepted for Officer training on his first attempt, and successfully completed all physical requirements in order to become a starfighter pilot, a very coveted position in the military.<br/><br/>Daniel established himself as a very capable, above-average pilot. He also established himself as someone who walked a -very- thin line with regulations. Where some canon character like Starbuck might outright flaunt the rules and regulations, Daniel gently nudges against them -just- to the point of not breaking them, avoiding any possible shame associated with reprimands. Always in the back of his mind, he knew if he went too far, his parents would get wind of it and that would never go over well. Regardless of rules and regulations, though, Daniel always put the lives of his wingman, fellow pilots, and crew above his own.<br/><br/>Most notably during his time as a Viper pilot, Daniel was incredibly loyal to his wingman, Charles 'Charlie' Butters, another naive of Virgon. Charlie was always the 'wild one', and Dan had always been the one to guide Charlie back to the barracks after a night on the town. It is rumored that the fiery end to their friendship came when Daniel announced to Charlie that he had received and accepted an offer to move up the chain of command, leaving piloting behind for the time being. Charlie, in a moment of feeling betrayed, countered by informing Daniel that Charlie had been sleeping with Dan's girlfriend of two years. The fist-fight was brutal, and in the end, neither man pressed charges, but neither have they spoken to each other since. Dan still bears a small scar just a the base of his jawline on his neck from where Charlie had struck him with a broken bottle. But the mental scars of betrayal, though not visible, were every bit as deep.<br/><br/>Daniel focused his energies on his career, and keeping himself fit. He became skilled at hand-to-hand combat, and became somewhat of an exercise freak. Over the years, as the demands of his new positions took up more of his time, he's scaled back a bit, but he's aged well.<br/><br/>Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.<br/><br/>Daniel was occasionally able to grab some seat-time with a viper, in order to keep up his flight eligibility as a reserve pilot. He didn't get to fly much, and when he did, it was incredibly nostalgic for him. But he had moved on with his life, and his limited flights were minor training ones in nature, or routine patrols. Daniel had pushed his career up the command ladder with determined efficiency.<br/><br/>Daniel sees no limit to his advancement. Observant and aware, he's also keen on the welfare of his people, regardless of rank. He isn't a back-stabber, nor does he target a specific person's position for 'take over' or advancement. He is a team-player first and foremost, and if a position opens up into which he can advance, he will take steps to do so."

She was the daughter of a retired Colonel in the Colonial Navy and a emergency room doctor. As such she was spoonfed both a fascination with the Colonial Navy as well as a general interest in medicine. She was a good enough student to be able to combine the two upon completing her secondary education. She enrolled in the Colonial Navy herself and combined her service with her studies, slowly earning her medical degree.<br/><br/>She briefly served as a combat medic whilst in her early 20s as part of her medical training, and met Robert Melcher during this time. The two of them started an affair which they only conducted during R & R and never whilst they were in the field. It was ended abruptly when Bethina returned to the academy to completely her medical training. After earning her degree, she opted for a career track that would send her in a more administrative position as opposed to practicing medicine on a daily basis.<br/><br/>She worked a research position for the Colonial Navy’s medical department for a few years before getting a position as the assistant to the chief medical officer. She held this position until the attack occurred and she was re-assigned as a liaison to the civilian fleet."

However it was that kind of lazy destinity that made one of the most briliant mechanics of his time was raised crowded by technology.<br/>Gregor always excelled at his studies and was deemed extremely bright, however he was somewhat of a Savant. more interested in machines and Science then in other subjects. With his extreme high interest in machines, he started tinkering. That and his generally good marks made him appear different to his students, making him an outsider. This in turn caused him to focus his attention more torwards Machines then humans.<br/>Gregor originally wanted to go into the industry and research robotics. He wanted to invent and improve machines to help humanity as a whole, improve their capabilities beyond the boundaries of flesh. However, his father Aaron O'Reilly, who was a decorated soldier himself insisted on him joining the military. However he never gave up on his visions and still spent a lot of his time privately researching and planing.<br/>During those years he made the first plans for what would later be the project he named GAUNTLET. His plan was building a glove that would carry tools for small scale opperations, where human hands alone could easily slip or fumble. Not just a toolbox however it was able to counteract human failure to a stunning degree and even aid in the operation of the tools.<br/>In the search of someone to found his invention, he met Analyn Tarrow. At first he thought they'd merely have to convince government of the usefullness, but soon Analyn had convinced him to develop it in privat. She even raised funds for his project. Making it possible in the first place.<br/>While they seemed to come from different worlds he quickly became rather attached to her. They became friends and such he often accompanied her to fundraising event, thanks to her presence around him feeling more secure and gradually growing a bit more secure around people, at least as long as there weren't to many.<br/>In his military life Gregor was just as successfull as with his private projects. He quickly became a member of the maintanence squadrong. Eventually Gregor proved to to be a brilliant mind, his work saved ships and made him rise the ranks quickly. Finally he even reached the rank of commander due to several miraculous repairs.<br/>However he never stopped working on the Gauntlet. Investing most of his spare time into it. It was too important to leave be. It was a first step.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Personality:</span></strong><br/>Gregor is not exactly how one would imagine a commander. While he can be pretty convincing he barely ever uses much authority other than the fact that he just quite plainly knows very well what he is talking about.<br/>While he can be incredibly charming and funny, he seems to be around machines rather than humans, at least until he knows them well. Also he tends to start tinkering during conversations.<br/>However his whole personality changes when confronted with something that fascinates him, he becomes very joyous and eager to talk often ending up babbling for hours if not shut down.<br/>When working he tends to come across as a more calculating time, rather hard to impress and thinking over most decisions before actually choosing a path of action"

He loves talking about them and their histories. He has enjoys his time in the military and feels like it is a place that provides a close brotherhood that he never had from his family.<br/><br/>He's often fairly serious, though he does enjoy jokes on occasion - he just isn't really the best jokester, so he prefers to let others take that role. He tends to be slow to anger, but once he is angry he's been known to get into  his fair share of fights.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/>Jaiden was raised on Scorpia, home of most of the shipyards of the Twelve Colonies, by his father - his mother was never part of his memories and his father had always refused to talk about her. Immersed in ships of all kinds for his entire life, he knew early on that he wanted to be a pilot and he persued the dream relentlessly and signed up for the military as early as possible.<br/><br/>Once enlisted, he excelled under the teachings of the CAG he'd been assigned to, following orders as given and showing he had a natural knack for piloting and even teaching his fellow students. He quickly rose to be one of the more senior pilots in the ship's air group. It was his close relationship with his old CAG, in fact, that got him placed with the current Battlestar - a relationship that was too close.

The ensign can finally be considered as one of (relatively) sound mind and body.<br/><br/>It has been an entire year since she left the marines, her career ending thanks to the incident on the<strong>[REDACTED]</strong>, a<strong>[REDACTED]</strong>ship. The record states that her unit was deployed to<strong>[REDACTED]</strong>while the<strong>[REDACTED]</strong>, a task which the marines apparently found themselves woefully unprepared for. The initial phase is shown to have passed without a hitch but, after boarding the vessel, the unit quickly found themselves surrounded and outnumbered by a<strong>[REDACTED]</strong>of<strong>[REDACTED]</strong>. The marines were soon in unknown territory,<strong>[REDACTED]</strong>, and facing an unfamiliar enemy,<strong>[REDACTED]</strong>, forcing them to react as any might…<strong>[REDACTED]</strong>. The ensuing result was a<strong>[REDACTED]</strong>.<br/><br/>Lasara essentially broke down after the event, as any sane person would, only to find her feet again two months later. With the marines behind her, she looked to the fleet, distracting herself from the past by training and prepping for the future. There are some worries with how much she pushes herself, both physically and in the pilot seat, but she has at least regained some purpose. The only other concern is with her overall behaviour.<br/><br/>In the past Lasara was considered to enjoy the company of others and quickly associated with most she met. She was also mischievous and competitive, taking a page from her parents’ book with a few instances of misconduct in the name of fun. Now, her personality is far more muted. She still has brief moments where she’ll revert to her old self but these are rare. She’s generally friendly and attentive, if not a little withdrawn or stern at times. She also hasn’t lost her taste for whisky, chocolate or cheesy horror flicks.<br/><br/><br/><strong>History –</strong><br/>Lasara was born to Lieutenants Celeste and Duncan D’Aramitz, two mediocre pilots with a history of negligence and misconduct; a seemingly common trend in the D’Aramitz family with several discharged uncles, aunts, grandparents and so forth. It was actually Lasara’s intention to break this streak of dishonour by choosing not to join the fleet, like so many of her ancestors, and instead sign up with the colonial marines.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, Lasara picked to become a jarhead at the worst of times as the system was seeing a fair bit of activity. After a somewhat rushed boot-camp, the wide-eyed marine was assigned to an appallingly green unit and dispatched to several hot zones over the next year. To make matters worse, she apparently brought a little of the family curse with her in the form of a few acts of misconduct. These minor nuisances, such as racing military vehicles or smuggling contraband into the camps, could never be linked to her but the officers in charge normally knew who the culprit was.<br/><br/>Despite the fun she might have had, Lasara also went through some fairly tough times as a marine. These include a single instance of torture, resulting in the scar on her face, as well as some near death moments. All of this couldn’t compare however to her final mission as a marine, a task which she went in fine and came out utterly broken. It took an entire year of therapy and training before she applied for assignment to a fleet, as a pilot.<br/><br/>For now, Lasara seems content with her place in the fleet with her eye on earning a permanent position as a Capital Ship pilot. Her only gripe is that she’s not a fan of the callsign her fellow pilots have assigned her, “Whisky”, named after her favourite drink and based on the fact that she shoots like a drunkard.<br/><br/><strong>Relatives and Relations –</strong><br/><strong>Parents:</strong>Celeste and Duncan D’Aramitz<br/><strong>Relations:</strong>None<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Stats –</strong><br/><strong>Agility:</strong>4 (+4)<br/><strong>Athletics:</strong>4 (+4)<br/><strong>Awareness:</strong>4 (+4)<br/><strong>Cunning:</strong>2<br/><strong>Deception:</strong>2<br/><strong>Endurance:</strong>2<br/><strong>Fighting:</strong>3 (+1)<br/>*Unarmed: 1<br/><strong>Knowledge:</strong>2<br/>*Astronavigation: 2<br/><strong>Marksmanship:</strong>3 (+1)<br/><strong>Mechanics:</strong>2<br/><strong>Medical:</strong>2<br/><strong>Persuasion:</strong>2<br/><strong>Reflexes:</strong>3 (+1)<br/>*Capital Ship Piloting: 3<br/><strong>Status:</strong>2<br/><strong>Stealth:</strong>2<br/><strong>Survival:</strong>2<br/><strong>Thievery:</strong>2<br/><strong>Warfare:</strong>2<br/><strong>Will:</strong>2<br/><br/><strong>Merits:</strong><br/>Unarmed Combat I:<br/>There's little that Lasara enjoys more than a few good sparring sessions<br/>(Treat your unarmed attacks as if they have the Fast weapon trait.  Also Unarmed attacks to Athletics-2 damage.)<br/><br/>Expertise*: Unarmed<br/>Lasara has always been a natural athlete, even before she joined the marines.

Most would claim a politician’s most potent weapon is the ability to lie but, by Vivian’s reasoning, it merely forestalls the inevitable and acts as nothing more than a rickety crutch for the weak and inept. Her brutal honesty has done much to shake up the political landscape, ousting corrupt activities and forcing people to debate the tough questions, but she has also created an army of detractors. These detractors criticize her as an elitist, one who feels the end justifies the means. Naturally, Vivian happily agrees wholeheartedly on both points.<br/><br/>Vivian was born to a rich family, giving her the opportunity to live comfortably while attending the best schools and having access to all the best resources. She made friends easily during her younger years, thanks to an almost innate charm, but seemed to become a bit more secluded as she matured, choosing instead to spend her time on virtual chess and studies in Law. When she graduated, Vivian was quick to jump into the political ring where she rose swiftly thanks to a lot of family money and a tongue which was both silver and sharp.<br/><br/>While she was gladly welcomed amongst a liberal party at first, she gradually lost favour as the years went by until finally she was relegated to the position of diplomat. While in this position, she secured several profitable treaties for Caprica, convinced the PM to approve an increase in military funding, negotiated the prices down on services rendered by some companies to government, plus much much more. Despite all of this, Vivian has been locked in her position of diplomat for several years now, where the party is able to accept praise for her achievements while keeping her too busy to add her voice to the political arena.<br/><br/><strong>Stats –</strong><br/><strong>Agility:</strong>2<br/><strong>Athletics:</strong>2<br/><strong>Awareness:</strong>3 (+1)<br/><strong>Cunning:</strong>4 (+4)<br/><strong>Deception:</strong>2<br/><strong>Endurance:</strong>2<br/><strong>Fighting:</strong>2<br/><strong>Knowledge:</strong>3 (+1)<br/>*Knowledge: Law<br/><strong>Marksmanship:</strong>2<br/><strong>Mechanics:</strong>2<br/><strong>Medical:</strong>2<br/><strong>Persuasion:</strong>4 (+4)<br/>*Convince: 1<br/>*Seduction: 3<br/>*Charm: 3<br/><strong>Reflexes:</strong>2<br/><strong>Status:</strong>4 (+4)<br/><strong>Stealth:</strong>2<br/><strong>Survival:</strong>2<br/><strong>Thievery:</strong>2<br/><strong>Warfare:</strong>2<br/><strong>Will:</strong>3 (+1)<br/><br/><strong>Merits:</strong><br/>Expertise*: Charm<br/>It’s absolutely disgusting how effective a touch of charm can be over facts and figures – Vivian<br/>(Gain +1D with one Specialty)<br/><br/>Expertise*: Seduction<br/>Enough about me, let’s talk about you… So, what do you think about me? – Vivian<br/>(Gain +1D with one Specialty)<br/><br/>Attractive:<br/>Attractiveness is relative.

Anyways you can aggro all 7 goblin dogs if you want (hint; one casters know grease spell which would be readied on cast when doggies are up close and using reach weapons is plain bitchy move when foe trips and their charge got cancelled. But someone needs act as runner to aggro doggies and bring them over to polearm folks).<br/><br/>Anyways I am very bad in maps sadly even if they would be more effective :/. Assume the dogs are spread out in 100'ft radius and all aggro onto players in 10'ft and they chase them ten times of their movement speed (so 40'ft base move = 400'ft aggro chase range). Four are closest to group and three are behind the four dogs deeper in the farm.<br/><br/>Anyways remember Iona and Jonas; you got only disease cured up with 30gp each. HP dmg is still there, however if you spend extra 10gp each you both get 1d8+5 cure spell cast on you by same cleric (we do bit time warping here). You got 100gp from first quest so you should have extra bling available for this stuff."

As savage barbarian can benefit from both spells without loosing class features (as they are spell effects than wearing armor). Anyways update and also lengthy OOC to explain how encounters in general work in XP and rare loot wise and how tricky is to pull off 'giant encounter cut down to nuking single foe at time in open field'.<br/><br/>Ideal stragedy would be fast runner with high AC aggroing mobs and bring them to bottle neck and then grind through the mobs to get most XP and rare loot chance. But during betatesting such scenarios was cut to minimum to avoid XP grind exploits but the stragedy is still sound to do in open fields (it needs finesse and skill to pull off so designers left chance of it happening as extra reward for planning grind well).<br/><br/>Also XP reduction was introduced as means to reduce '40 man raid killing single mob at time to get full XP from it'. Only raid or boss mobs give full XP despite number of folks attacking it and also loots are based on higher percentage.

Now to answer question 'who acts before Ini 14 and how delayed/waited actions work'.....<br/><br/>Now that Jonas (Anon315) did make his actions upon Ini 9 (sorry if I remember wrong, I did not check now) what he rolled. It means those who waited for dogs actions before posting in round 1 they can post also along with Jonas and their actions occur before round 2 where others actions are taking in place.<br/><br/>However if players fear that delaying means that they get steamrolled by players who make round 2 actions before they get chance to post a response, then please be more vocal about it in OOC so I know that you want act before round 2. At end of my present IC post I had forgot there was more folks waiting goblin dogs actions (one was readied action by our summoner which was triggered already by the dogs and her eidolon was sitting around).<br/><br/>Anyways, if there are no further players actions left when last person in initiative posts, then as general ruling the folks who act before enemy can make then their posts. So at end of my present IC post I had assumed everyone have acted (so sorry towards for Pretty in Pink in regards of Kaneyoshi rushing ahead a bit :P).<br/><br/>Now to answer some stuff regarding Steelsmitter and Anon315 argument about Steelsmitter posting before higher Ini folks do;<br/><br/>I am fine with that players who may be checking less often to E during weekday/weekends they post their actions out of initiative order (meaning they act before enemy but they are last person to act before enemy example). But I do prefer if possible in RL schedule wise for players post actions in initiative wise but<span class=""bbc_u""><strong>I do not demand it</strong></span>.<br/><br/>So simply put; when I give permission to post next round actions, then players can post their actions when they can and if they want to post only after waiting someone's post results either wait/delaying or acting upon their rolled Ini scores accordingly (so long everyone is not waiting on each other as that can result a mexican stand off sort situation comically speaking), that is fine also.<br/><br/>Some cases it may be wise even to wait as example party wizard acts first before everyone else and he throws fireball, so better wait to see did fireball finish off all enemies or were some left standing thanks successful reflex save. That's why I log at least once per day so we can solve these dilemmas faster (than a month taking per fight).<br/><br/>Now, that I have replied, and to make sure I send PM so you both see this, do you still plan to leave or can you apologize to each other like gentlemen who just got too heated (by my time) early in the morning or did you both get burned out from the game itself and leave?"

Considering staff provides animate dead....no need for onyx stones. Ofc once you hit 9th level you can use your own CL on stuff instead staff's. For sorcerer it's grand find as it gives you 'freebie spells known which cost no magic points'. It's very OP loot drop from measly goblin dog :P. But like in WoW epics can drop from a rabbit which is one shot.<br/><br/>2) If you plan make magic stuff (clothes, jewelry, rings), you need either craft physical items yourself (proper profession/craft skill) or NPC makes them for a cost. Also profession:scavenging is useful to get magical organs as actual components to make magic items (you need spell, physical object and suitable third component which needs farmed).<br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote""><a href=""https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=181456.msg8762779#msg8762779"">Quote from: Ghostwheel on 18-08-2013, 19:37:39</a></div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">AFAIK, the only time you'd need a craft check for making magic stuff instead of spellcraft is if you took the Master Craftsman (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/master-craftsman---final) feat.<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>As explained above, you can skip craft/professions but you still need find third component somewhere from the world make permanent magic items (potions, scrolls, wands etc do not need it). Profession:Scavenging is good for looting bodies of monsters you slay for components. Usually you need component which comes from monster which HD is equal or greater than CL needed to make the item (or bunch lower HD components).<br/><br/>So investing to craft or profession ranks is not bad idea. It just means you do not need NPC craft you physical object which is imbued (unless you imbue it from found junk item). Think Skyrim in regards of enchanting (instead of soul shards you farm claws, hearts etc).<br/><br/>And yes, you get 1-2 claws from monster who has 20. WoW logic kinda :P."

Even if you fail you get alternative endings which give small sum XP but not money/item rewards. Some even allow lewd options if you have moral code off. So far as you know, the quests which allow lewd options, give full XP and rewards when using lewd options. So 'whoring for XP and gold' is actually no joke in this MMO. The lewd activity is tied with NPC's (and if in party, it can be NPC or PC activity depending on quest). From betatester forums it was mentioned the sexual activity is realistic but also some part more enjoyable than the real thing. However considering there may be underaged players, none the quests 'demands' a lewd option to complete it.<br/><br/>Anyways you can do quick grind through the normal social and some pick up and delivery quests for XP. The non-combat based quests however give very small rewards universally though unless they have very challenging social skill checks.<br/><br/>But to give solid reply roll d20. If you get less than 10 you remember only one. If +10 result then you remember two. +15 you remember three and nat 20 gives three quests + 1 quest which gives actual decent reward. I let you decide the brief description of them and I fill in if there are changes."

It hadn't always been easy, but she had earned a place on these decks and not a little respect in the process... and now, all of that would change in the next few hours...<br/><br/>She stood on the deck, leaning against the rail as the ship closed on the dock and the long voyage was nearly over. She had already finished her duties for the harbor maneuvers and for a few minutes at least, she could afford to watch the land before her in the darkness... If this had been anywhere else, they would of dropped anchor and waited out the night for a morning entry, but this wasn't the place to risk such an action and even the perals of a nighttime entry was preferable to the currents and rocks outside the harbor. Low tide might well find them sitting on rocks and swimming.  Still, she had a few minutes and wasn't the only one on deck with eyes looking toward the mountain in the dark.<br/><br/>She sighed, her gray eyes scanning the town again as the breeze pulled at the ponytail of dark hair  and pulled just enough at the dark blue jacket to reveal the rounded mound of a breast under a light toned blouse... a weapons belt with a rapier and a whip sat low on her hips and the almost skin tight leather of her trousers had faded just a little to a nice tan tone. She returned to her duties and counted the time before she would make her get-a-way and join her lover in his new place.<br/><br/>But, that was still some hours away and as part of the crew, she had duties that she needed to get back to. As much as she loved seeing the delicacy of the lizards, she waited until the passengers and officers had taken their fill, then took up one of the critters and bit into it with surprising daintiness, chewing and swallowing before taking the next bite. A romp with a passenger wasn't out of her usual behavuior, but rushing through a rare and tasty treat would of been far out of character. Life was to be enjoyed, but not rushed.<br/><br/>As she whiped her fingers on a linen hankercheef from a coat pocket, she nodded to the others and returned to her work."

Men from the most powerful warrior to the wisest sages tells stories of the mythical figure. ""I tell you, he is as strong as an ogre"" a warrior would say.  ""He speaks all the languages in the world!"" the Sage would add.  The womenfolk have their legends of him as well, though they come in different flavours. ""It is said that he is the most handsome and radiant man in the world"" a whore would whisper amongst her friends. ""His manhood is over a foot long"" a giddy noblewoman would giggle behind her fan as she shared the gossip with trusted friends.<br/><br/>Almost all of these tales have a little truth in them. A wanderer did outwrestle an Ogre once, Another did speak all the language of the world through an ancient secret known only to very few minstrels. One Wanderer actually shined with sacred radiance due to the blessings of an oracle he bedded. None of them had a 13 inch cock however, that part is merely an exageration by an inch or two.<br/><br/>The newest Wanderer is the descendant of all those Wanderers and he inherited many things from his blood's legacy. A strong body, a keen mind, a magnetic personality and a heavy slab of meat between his powerful thighs, which he is currently withdrawing from his latest conquest. ""That was a nice little ride my dear"" he said, not expecting the woman to reply. He truly wore her out it seems. It can't be helped however, it was a long trip on ship towards the Thundering Shore and there were little entertainment, leaving him no choice but to spend his days plowing a red haired woman on her way to meet her lover in the Thundering Shores. Unfortunately for him, she's quite abit looser now that the Wanderer is done with her.<br/><br/>covering himself in a dark cloak, the adventurer emerged onto the deck. Even with his visage concealed, he still drew some attention to himself. Just from the way he moves amongst the crowd, the way he stands on deck, every single detail made him look like someone important. Someone with a place in history. Of course, even someone that history will remember still needs to eat, so he waited in line for his turn at the grilled lizard."

She was delighted by the warm weather and would take advantage of it by wearing skimpy little bikinis and loin skirts of various styles, cuts and colors the entire voyage. Today was no different, that amazing voluptuous form was clad in just three pieces of clothing. The first was a rather modest cream colored bikini top that conceal a good portion of each of those huge perky 34 F Breasts, the silk however was rather thin and allowed straining tender nubs to be all too obvious as they pressed against their snug prison. The second piece of cloth was perhaps the most distracting, especially when the wind pick up. A little lion cloth skirt hung rather low upon those curved hips, it was comprised of two pieces of cream colored silk. The front strip was just wide enough to lick at the tops of inner thighs while extended to just above her knees. That rear cloth was just wide enough to cover those plump rounded southern cheeks. Each piece of silk that comprised her bikini and lion skirt were graced with beautiful nature inspired etchings in golden thread. The final piece of the scantily outfit was a pair of sandals. A sturdy finely crafted piece of leather protected the bottoms of dainty feet while a collection of strips and straps weaved themselves up her lower legs.<br/><br/>Her mid-back length sky blue hair was tied into a messy ponytail while a few wayward locks had escaped to frame that gorgeous face. Thin nose was always appreciating every pleasant scent that it found while frosted blue orbs were sure to take in every wonderful sight with their gaze. Full pouty lips were a soft red hue, normally found in a friendly smile as they parted to converse with the crew and her fellow guests. She spent a great deal of her time above deck, she never tired of the warm sea breeze and had always loved the sun's warmth over her flawless skin. While the sun's rays always seemed to be very kind to her, adding to her skin's beauty with a healthy tan rather than burning her, she was still often requested help in spreading tanning oil over the portions of her body she could not easily reach herself.<br/><br/>She was always up in time to see the sun-rise and would wait until sunset to retire to her quarters, it would be a tragedy to miss them. Her nights below deck were spent reading, enjoying the pleasures of a self massage or the passions of a companion. The early evenings usually found her with her nose inside a large open tome or hearing tales and stories from a interesting crew member or guest. She was an enthusiastic supporter of free love and would never miss the opportunity to share a few orgasms with a friend. Friends were one treasure she seemed to have in abundance, she had always been a social butterfly.<br/><br/>When a friend was not available for some erotic fun, she would always treat herself to a slow sensual massage. Her hands caressing her body to excite and satisfy herself, this always occurred before she went to sleep. She made an effort to keep herself as quiet as possible, not due to modesty however, she didn't want to disturb the other people on the ship who may not appreciate hearing her lyrical voice carrying the notes of carnal delight. Modesty was never something she usually concerned herself with, she simply did not mind sharing the pleasures of her beauty with anyone who took advantage of an opportunity. Not to mention that keeping one's privacy aboard a sailing vessel, even one as large as this, could be quite tricky at times.<br/><br/>Frosted blue twins watched the capturing of the flying creatures with intrigue before the starting of the fire drew her attention. She stood by as she watched the meal being prepared, noting each step for her memory. While she did not approve of the lizards being cooked alive, she did not mention it. When the lizards were fully grilled she was one of the first to accept the offer. Bowing to Lord Alrasha with a bright<strong>""Thank you! These look delicious""</strong>She would take one, holding the skewer between her right index and middle fingers as she took small bites. Savoring each bite before swallowing it, any juices that escaped were quickly captured by long agile tongue.<br/><br/>The beauty of the sunset and the shores was definitely not lost on her, and even though the voyage had been quite an enjoyable one, she eagerly awaited when they would dock. She wondered what secrets the strange isle possessed, what long lost knowledge was left to uncover and of course what new pleasures there were to find.<br/><br/>"

Memories of being ridden by the hedonistic arcanist flows into his mind, the thought of her heavy tits bouncing around as they go at it like wild animals causing his pants to strain with renewed vigor despite the fact that he just emptied his load on a young redhead.<br/><br/>""It's good to see you again Tessara"" He said, making his way towards the elf. ""My latest..partner, makes me realize how hard it is to find someone of your skill and appetite"" Wanderer said with a friendly smile. ""How did you fare in your search for entertainment?"" he asked, eyeing her body appreciatively. She had a body made for sin, skin as flawless as porcelain and the tight pussy of an elf, a perfect fit when coupled with the Wanderer's more than impressive endowment.<br/><br/>Looking out towards the shore, the Wanderer was momentarily brought back to reality. There it was, a land where his legend is not yet known. Of course, he plans to change that soon."

Leaving him to set off on this journey may have been the hardest thing she had ever had to do. She could not wait to be reunited with him, to share with him all she will have learned and the new pleasures she discovered. She wondered if The Wanderer would be open to meeting her soulmate, oh the possibilities were igniting her adored addiction as she couldn't help but imagine the pleasure produced by the two of them treating her to their passion at the same time.<br/><br/>Her eyes seemed to glaze over slightly as she zoned out with her gaze upon The Wanderer, that already wide smile growing even more before she snapped herself out of her little daze and allowed her figurative fantasies to slip away.

Her new companion was indeed skilled in lovemaking, his hands, his tongue and especially that large cock were all just so..so magical. Even if his manhood was a couple of inches shorter than the rumors might lead one to believe, it was still almost too big for her. He was always so very gentle until he knew she had fully adjusted to him each time, that is when the real fun began. Her eyes were boldly scanning his body as those tender twin nubs were hardening against the soft silk of her begin top. She could feel her liquid lust begin flowing as she recalled all the wonderful pleasure he was so very masterful in inducing, his strong hands caressing and massaging her body's curves, that agile tongue so easily causing her back to arch and those wide hips to roll, and of course there was that large cock that never disappointed in making her body writhe and her toes curl.<br/><br/>She was slightly startled when she felt someone catch her arm, she would return the offered hug. Her hands moving to the young woman's shoulders as their bodies pressed together with their cheeks touching. The young woman would no doubt beable to feel the state of her hardened nipples and may even detect the scent of her peaked arousal. She took the offered hemp ribbon as she stepped back from the brief hug, nodding while answering<strong>""I would be happy to attend!""</strong><br/><br/>Once the young woman had moved away, she would turn back to the Wanderer, her voice lowering to a whisper<strong>""She requested the help of myself and my companions, could be a great opportunity to add another amazing story to your tale""</strong>She was quite excited at the opportunity this provided, to be a part of the stories she was always eager to hear. Each night that they had shared in each others' company had brought a new story, each one grander than the last.

The rain has never been right since the invasion, sickening those who drink it and corroding the buildings and streets, filling the with pockmarks as though from some terrible wasting disease. It's not too bad tonight, barely making one's skin itch in a hot rash, but there are times when it eats the very flesh surrounding bones, and turns the bones into sludge. Rarely are people caught in such a downpour, but there are always those few who are caught unprepared or too destitute to find shelter for themselves, and those often leave only a corpse--or worse. Many an abomination has entered the city, not through the gates, but through the very inhabitants by transforming after the previous person was killed by the acidic rain.<br/><br/>The Silver Hilt is in force tonight, patrolling the main streets.

The rain seemed to cause them no problem, and their snake-like eyes flitted to and fro in unspoken communication as they walked as one. Their over-sized swords, each one too big for the size of its intended wielder, rode within sheathes at their side, an unspoken threat and promise to eradicate any that got in their way or were their intended targets.<br/><br/>In contrast, the Night Watch was nowhere to be seen. They never made it out on the days it rained, preferring to sip hot tea within the Watch Buildings that dotted the city rather than risk the rain. After all, no crimes were going to be committed when the rain was going to keep people inside. At least, this was the line of thought of the Watch. And on most night they were right.

""Ms. Revell, I assume?"" the Sergeant puffs beneath the overhang as Anli opens the door, staying out of the rain as best he can as the other one angles a large umbrella to keep the worst off of them.

She was almost thankful for the rain as a mixture of raindrops and tears splashed onto the letter. She didn't want anyone to see her like this, to know how much pain she felt, especially this human.

Her own elvish resistance to the corruption that covers the land lessens the effects of the rain to something almost unnoticeable, but the man has no such protection, and appears to be slowly dying from asphyxiation.

The lamplights that dot the city with a little light are almost hidden by the downpour, but enough get through to show the cobblestone pavement beneath the trio's feet, and allow them to avoid the worst of the potholes where rainwater collects, each shower widening the holes. Twice they see Silver Hilt patrols, and once the patrol pauses, unprotected and almost as though unaware of the rain as they stare for a few moments at the group before continuing on. ""Damned witches,"" the Sergeant mutters beneath his breath, eyebrows knotting with mixed emotions. ""Not human, I say. Not anything. Monsters themselves. Saw one once cut down a man where he stood simply because he stumbled in between her and some sort of monster a few hundred feet away..."" he grumbles, the rain drowning out most of the noise that escapes from the umbrella. <br/><br/>The patter of the rain remains constant throughout the entire trip, and the faint acrid smell that comes with a light rain. Lightning flashes, illuminating the landscape, and Anli can see the forms of a few people huddled beneath trees or under arches, doing anything they can to escape the rain and notice by any predators. Inevitably, there are always a few like these and just as inevitably they can often be found dead or missing come morning--or prey for monsters with more unusual tastes. The entire walk takes perhaps 15 to 20 minutes, time almost flowing differently until the endless patter of the rain against the umbrella, but finally they reach the station, a candle against the oppressive darkness that fills the city. ""Fold up that umbrella, lad, and then come inside and get some tea for yourself."" Bustol nods before taking out his Watch-issued bell, ringing it with a <em>thunk</em>, the muffler being still inside, and shouting half-heartedly, ""Ten o'clock and all's well..."" as was traditional before quickly bundling up the umbrella and ducking inside to escape the rain.<br/><br/>The Sergeant leads Anli inside and to an office with a mirror on one wall. He sighs as he divests himself of the greatcoat, hanging it on a coathanger and hers as well should she remove it. ""Damned rain.

""As I said before, I do apologize for inviting you outside at this time of night, but..."" he pauses sadly, looking down at his hands before looking up into her eyes and sighing. ""We needed to report to you that a Mr. Varen Menhock has been found dead. I'll need to take you shortly to identify the body, but in his will... you were his only known associate these last years who had any sort of real connection to him,"" he sighs once more, smoothing his hair back as he studies her reaction.</div></div>"

His sudden choking elicits a look of puzzlement before Sarya's posture stiffens, the severity of his allergic reaction setting in. She inwardly cursed to herself, her thoughts turning to berating the man's fortitude as she looked around for a solution. He couldn't die on her...not yet.<br/><br/>She needed to get him out of the rain, that much was clear. The elven woman's eyes scanned her surroundings for refuge, the silhouette of a house and an attached shed catching her attention through the darkness and the rain. Sarya very much doubted any human inhabitants would understand the situation if they stumbled upon her during the night but it was her only shot at keeping the man alive...at least until he could tell her what she wanted to know. Sarya's hands grabbed at the man's arms, pulling his own hands away from his throat as she started the difficult task of dragging the large man to safety.<br/><br/>Minutes later, Sarya stumbled into the shed, falling over her own feet from exhaustion and landing rather ungracefully on the shed floor. A final desperate pull and she had the man inside though he had seemingly lost consciousness during the trip. Her lungs on fire and her muscles aching, Sarya pulled herself to her knees and checked on the man's condition. The rashes and swelling had bloated his face, disfiguring his appearance into something that could barely be described as human. A sound of disgust escaped from her throat as her hand hesitated to check his pulse. Her fingers finally came to rest against the side of his throat, a wave of relief washing over her as she felt the faint pulsing of his heartbeat. It was a small victory but she'd take it for now.<br/><br/>Now that her eyes had adjusted to the darker interior of the shed, Sarya stood with a groan and scanned for something to dry the man off with, hoping that being dry would aid his recovery. It wasn't really in her nature to play nurse for the wounded but she needed answers and she unfortunately needed him alive to get them. She began a frantic search of the shed, her hastened pace causing her to knock over the occasional farming tool or bump her head against the shed's low ceiling. In the end, all she could muster was a few discarded rags and a riding blanket. It wasn't much, but it'd be enough for now.<br/><br/>Drying the rain from his face and throat was simple enough but her focus soon turned to his soggy clothing. She cringed at the thought of what she was contemplating, the thought of his naked, swollen, and rash-covered body causing her stomach to turn. She let out a defeated sigh before grabbing her knife and cutting through man's soaked shirt, peeling the pieces away and tossing them onto the floor of the shed. Her face turned away as she threw the riding blanket over his torso, her hands pressing down on the blanket to absorb the rain. Sarya soon began to bring her knife toward his trousers, but found her hands freezing in place. ""Only as a last resort"" she told herself before putting her knife away and crawling toward the nearest wall.<br/><br/>Her head and back came to rest against the wall, her breathing still heavy from exertion. Sarya looked about the room uncomfortably, the damp cloth around her face was restricting her breathing but she hesitated to show her face this far from home. Her eyes studied the man laying across from her before lingering on the shed's opening, her ears scanning the darkness for any out of place sounds. Finally satisfied that she was alone, Sarya's hands tugged on the damp cloth around her face, exposing her nose and mouth to the night air with a deep sigh as she relaxed. It was going to be a long night."

He's even heavier than he looks, and the rain is coming down in sheets now, which might be a blessing in disguise as it all but hides her form and masks the sounds she makes as she drags the body into the shed. The rain still soaking her own clothes, made more for traversing the desert wastelands than for protection against the rainwater brings her attention to how cold she is, and shivers run through her body.<br/><br/>As she dries his face and begins to divest him of his vest and coat she sees that the rash extends throughout his whole body, and already small boils are beginning to form along his chest and neck. His flesh is utterly cold to the touch, and as she cuts the clothing she notices a lack of breathing, the body still and immobile except for her own small movements as she cuts away. At the same time she finds within an inner pocket in his suit top a small leatherbound book, along with a small stack of business cards. <br/><br/>Opening the book, she sees a strange script scrawled within. A few moments of looking at it and her eyes begin to water, her head begins to pound and she's forced to look away from the letters that seem to almost crawl before her eyes. Many pages have been rendered completely indecipherable should she flip through it, the rain fusing the words together and causing no reaction from her, but a few pages still hold meaning to those who can understand what they mean/<br/><br/>The business cards are more mundane; in very fancy lettering they all reads, ""Buckman &amp; Co. - Entrepeneurs at Large"". They, like the parchment within the leatherbound book, are made from razorvine paper. Despite being soggy, they appear to be unmarred by the rain through some manufacturing process. On the back the name ""Manifold Buckman"" can be read--probably the name of the corpse sharing the shed with Sarya.<br/><br/>Despite the whole thing having taken less than the span on half an hour, Sarya feels her eyelids grow slowly heavy. It was already late at night, and the emotional stress of hearing her daughter's name and seeing her picture and the physical strain of dragging the corpse into the shed have taken a lot out of her. If she wishes to and must move she can do so, but fatigue has certainly begun to set in.

""Come,"" he says simply, and leads the girl down towards the station's prison, which also served as a temporary morgue.<br/><br/>His heavy footfalls are ominous and loud as they pass a desk where another officer goes through the inevitable paperwork that piles up in a Watch station, then past a resting area where Private Bustol sits next to a small tray of razorvine pastries baked until they have the texture of wafers and topped with the sugar processed from more razorvine.

Neville's hand on her mouth, shoving her against the fence so hard she was pretty sure she was bloodied from the impact. She mewled helplessly as he shoved her towards the ground, pressing up against him but he was so much stronger than her... more so than she would have even thought should compensate for the difference in genders and body types...<br/><br/>Although that was more in the back of her mind than anything else, as her foremost thoughts were consumed with the very real possibility that she was going to die in that alley, and the humiliation that burned inside her as he ripped and pulled at her clothing. She grit her teeth as the rain splashed down against more sensative parts of her body, writhing as he taunted her, tears streaming down her cheeks as he violated her with one quick thrust.<br/><br/>Her eyes widened in horror when it became apparent that the thing raping her wasn't even human, but some kind of abomination.

Her eyes squint as she tries to focus on the letters, the headache returning almost immediately as she tried to make out anything familiar. Frustrated at the strange book, Sarya throws it to the ground. Her fingers rub against her eyes, both out of exhaustion and from the strange sensation brought on by the book.<br/><br/>With a sigh, her attention turned toward the body lying under the blanket. He hadn't moved the slightest in at least ten minutes. She wasn't surprised by his passing nor was she too concerned. She planned to kill him eventually anyway, the rain just happened to beat her to it. She only wished he would have had the decency to leave her with some answers first. Instead, she was left with only more questions. Who was this guy? What was so important about this book that it needed to be hidden from her? It all left her with an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. There was more to this situation than it seemed at first glance.<br/><br/>Her legs curled up closer to her body as she sat against the wall of the shed. Her elbows rested atop her knees, one of the business cards held in her right hand as she studied everything about it. ""Buckman & Co. - Entrepreneurs at Large."" Sarya chuckled to herself at the last part, casting a quick glance back at the body sharing the shed with her. Well, he certainly got that last part right. She flipped the card around with her fingers, shaking her head at the name on the back. ""Manifold Buckman."" Humans had such clumbsy names. Still, she couldn't help but feel like it was appropriate in some way. Her thoughts lingered on the man's title: entrepreneur. So vague...why was everything about this man wrapped in so much secrecy? Her free hand rubbed at her temple as she flipped the card over once again. Chasing clues, investigations, asking questions...she dreaded the thought of playing detective, unraveling Mr. Buckman's web of lies and secrets.<br/><br/>With a final exasperated sigh, she tucked the business card into the satchel at her hip, her head leaning back against the wall and looking toward the ceiling. The rain was picking up and the chill of the night was creeping in. Her little investigation would have to wait until morning. The rain might not bother her but the chafing and the hypothermia from braving the weather at night with soaked clothing and boots most certainly would. No, it'd be best for her to wait the night out here in the relative safety of the shed where she'd at least be shielded from any further rain and the cold wind.<br/><br/>Sarya eyed the blanket laying atop the man's corpse for a brief second before convincing herself she'd be better off without it. There was no telling what sort of diseases she could contract from something that had come in contact with the boils that formed across his body. She'd rather endure a little cold than cover herself with that blanket. Sarya scooted across the ground toward the shed's farthest corner, putting as much distance between herself and the door as possible. It was there that she finally curled up on the ground, her limbs pulled in closely to keep herself warm, before closing her eyes and trying to drift off to sleep."

It was a response she had developed over the years, rising as early as possible to make the most of the daylight hours. And she'd definitely need every one of them today with the way things were shaping up. A quick breeze brushing against her cheek reminds her of her bared face, a fact she quickly remedies before standing and stretching as much as the cramped space would allow. She collects her belongings in silence, taking a moment to stash away the man's journal and his valuables. His body would no doubt be found but there was little to link her to his death other than the shallow gash across his bloated flesh. She hoped the rain made his identity difficult to determine, that his friends and family would be unaware of his fate for some time. That could at least buy her an extra day or two before any suspicion would be raised.<br/><br/>Sarya approached the door in a crouch, revealing as little of herself as possible as she looked outside. Her eyes darted around, thankful that very few humans shared her desire to awaken so early. She exited the shed with haste, keeping her head down, seemingly watching her step along the pothole ridden streets. The traditional wild elf garb had many benefits, especially among humans. Though she doubted she had been seen, no one would be able to discern her identity from this far...not that humans had an easy time telling her kind apart in the first place.<br/><br/>She was unsure where her feet were taking her just yet. She had very few ideas as to where to go and even fewer people that would be willing to help her. She needed to know everything about this Manifold Buckman and his business. Then there was the book, its strange script was an entire mystery on its own. On the bright side, humans were easily motivated by money - money she now had thanks Mr. Buckman. Information could be acquired easily enough she supposed. Sarya just needed someone with enough professional courtesy to not provide any answers to any curious members of the town watch. She needed someone who could look the other way when presented with the belongings of a dead man. She needed to see Milena.<br/><br/>The sun hung high in the sky by the time Sarya arrived at a building she recognized. She had only been here a handful of times, each time to trade useless jewelry and coins taken from those who no longer needed them in exchange for things that were actually useful: weapons, food, water. Milena didn't ask questions, didn't mind the occasional bloody piece of jewelry which was exactly what Sarya needed right now. Milena's motivations were simple enough to understand: if she could sell it and you kept your mouth shut then she was open for business. It was a convenient enough arrangement as far as Sarya was concerned. She just hoped Milena was as in-the-know as her Thieves Guild roots would suggest."

They were just like every other human - immediately turning to gossip and big talk when they think no is listening - and she cared very little for their opinions. Her attention instead focuses on Milena. What this woman had to say could potentially change everything; no more searching, no more fighting, and most importantly, no more humans or their festering blight of a city.<br/><br/>Sarya's frown when Milena denied her offer was practically imperceptible as she listened to the woman recall Manifold Buckman's past. ""So...he was a thief then? Or some sort of gang member?"" Sarya's heart sank as her thoughts turned to what kind of man Mr. Buckman could have been. She had done enough business with people from this part of town to know they weren't to be trusted. The name she gave to Milena was even more apt for those that roamed the slums - vultures...every last one of them. She had seen with her own eyes a dying man nearly stripped naked by beggars as he gasped for his last breaths. These people had no compassion, no sense of unity. The world was dying around them and they still only cared for themselves. The thought of her Tiha living with a creature that was somehow even less than a human was unsettling in more ways than she cared to dwell on.<br/><br/>When Milena suggested that Sarya take on a job as a form of payment, her shoulders slouched slightly. She didn't have time for this...not when she felt so close. Her eyes shift toward the pouch of money, unsure as to why Milena suddenly lost interest but found herself unwilling to haggle over a price; it was an endeavor that would lead only to failure should she even try. Sarya's hand ran through her tangled hair as she contemplated the offer. It wasn't going to be anything on the level...that much was sure. The old hag probably wanted someone dead or something stolen. Not that she minded but it was still usually more trouble than it was worth to do such things in the city.<br/><br/>Having made up her mind, Sarya lifts the journal from the counter and drops into Milena's waiting hands. ""Well...I'll at least hear your offer. What is it you want...Lady?"" The last word was tacked on almost like an afterthought. It was better to do as she requested for now, no matter how frivolous it was. She could at least humor the older woman, especially if it helped get her daughter back."

From the beginning, the music was his real dream -- but since it couldn't put food on the table, at least not for a long time yet, crime was his bread and butter. He ran the streets with a kid named Moses and for a long time they were friends, graduating from petty scams to more and more serious capers as Havana grew around them into a bona fide modern Babylon... until the day when Moses double-crossed his ""friend"" and disappeared. Benny never forgave him that, but luckily wasn't completely wiped out by the loss; deciding to go after his long-forgotten dream instead, he used his contacts in Havana's constellation of casinos to secure his first singing gig.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">""Be careful what you dream about... you just might get it.""</span></strong><br/>Benny began singing in bars and cafes, really dedicating himself to his music for the first time in his life, resorting to thieving and running scams now only to supplement his income from performing, travelling all over the island as he struggled to build a name for himself. He caught his big break when a man named Maximiliano ""Max"" Gutierrez heard him singing in a cafe in Cienfuegos; Gutierrez was the leader of the Orquestra Progreso and hired Benny on to be the lead singer of his band, which was helping to pioneer a new style of music called batanga. Regular gigs in Havana's lounges and nightclubs followed, radio airplay followed that, and with it came international touring, fame and notoriety as ""the Voice of Havana,"" the adoration of women and even a certain level of modest wealth.<br/><br/>But what didn't come was the respect that Benny had long dreamed of. The rich and powerful in Havana and around the world would listen to his records and applaud at his shows, but he wasn't welcome at their tables. And not one of the many ""friends"" who materialized to bask in his fame could lend a helping hand when Benny's mother fell ill. Even the money he was making with Orquestra Progreso wasn't enough to pay for medical treatments. He was the only one there to hold her hand when she died in the hovel he'd been born in. And he was the only one at her funeral.<br/><br/>A terrible rage grew in Benny then... and that was when his friend Max revealed that he had connections in areas of Cuba no-one had ever suspected.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">""If the People want respect -- then Cuba needs a Revolution.""</span></strong><br/>Max revealed to Benny that he was more than just a bandleader. He was part of a movement whose aim was to take Cuba back from Batista and his thugs and deliver her riches back to the People... a revolutionary movement. The kind of movement that never would have left Benny's mother to die forgotten in poverty. The kind of movement that needed well-placed people in Havana and around the world who had the resourcefulness to acquire the materiel its freedom fighters needed. People like Benito Tonante.<br/><br/>The embittered Benny was not a hard sell. He struck a pact with Max -- who was departing Havana to join the rebels -- to be the eyes and ears and secret hand of the Revolution. He went back on tour with a new band, the Orquestra Gigante, and in New York met a dazzling American blonde who would be a centrepiece of the new act.  They made a splash on tour, but it wasn't about the music anymore; all of it was now just a front for Benny's real occupation, his obsession... would-be gunrunner for the Revolution.<br/><br/>Unfortunately his first few schemes to deliver arms to Max from abroad didn't pan out. Connections were broken, middlemen proved untrustworthy... and the Revolution was beginning to suspect that maybe his heart wasn't in the fight after all, that perhaps he couldn't be trusted. He was still confident that he'll deliver for his comrades and earn their trust, but he was uncomfortably aware he'd be a dead man, one way or another, if he didn't make good his word to Max. He had one last chance: to return to Havana himself and oversee the delivery of the goods personally. With his band and his glamorous blonde muse in tow, he came back to the island just at the time when an old ""friend"" was coming back into the picture..."

The man was like a ghost, always two steps ahead. The closest he came was in Miami -- he could taste the bastard, he was so close.

He hadn't played for years, a dream deferred and then cancelled, but a horn from the pawn shop and a line of gab got him hitched to the Benny Tonante travelling show, courtesy of one Miss Mary Lynn Thomas.<br/><br/>No time for distractions, not that his worked over mug was going to turn any heads.

But not before leaving his once-trusted ally with some unsettling unfinished business he had hoped time would heal. After all, what's a few dollars between old friends?<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">""I want to give you everything, baby, you just name it. The world is yours...""</span></strong><br/>He lost count of how many women he had told that to. Fancy Italian suits, top shelf champagne, and a new breed of drug that wouldn't catch on in the States for another 30 years, his days and nights of murder and partying melded into large chunks of memories. His downward spiral started years earlier, he just hadn't realized it. Recent hiccups in his plans and his recent unprofessional demeanor caused him to lose clout with the Luciano family, leaving him without protection from his many enemies. <br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;"">""Miami? Don't talk to me about Miami...""</span></strong><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 10pt;"">The city had been something of a bad luck charm for him every time he set foot in it. However, his most recent trip almost landed him in the hands of a PI who had been on his tail for a while now. This last one was a prelude to a major score back in his stomping grounds of Havana, and it was ruined by that rat bastard Nathan Blake. Now, desperate and feeling pressure from the 'creditors' breathing down his neck, he has to figure out a way to finish the job without the lucky dice. He is desperate but grasping at straws to find salvation. <br/><br/>He will never go back to his life in the slums. No, he'd die before that happens, but a poster advertising a performance by Benny at the very place he intended to con starts the gears working in his head again. It may not be months of planning, but it was something, and that was better than nothing.</span><br/><br/></td></tr></tbody></table>"

I was a youngling then, barely into my prime when I first saw them. Before they came, it was a peaceful time. A time of wonder and happiness, where the races were one, a whole. Sure there were fights back then, but they were petty things, squabbles of babes that did no more than tweak another's nose or leave a bruise that faded in a decade. It was a golden age, a time of peace. Prosperity. People laughed back then, out and openly, and we thought that the age would last forever.<br/><br/>But then they came. How long ago was it, you ask? Well, I don't right remember. Time seems to flow and ebb when you get my age. I barely remember a time when my legs didn't hurt just from standing, just from trying to move around this old body. And even I am old as us elves get. There was a time when we didn't have to hide underground, away from the baleful eye of the--yes, yes. I understand. On with what happened. It's important to remember history, y'know. Else we make the mistakes of the past time and again.<br/><br/>And so they came. Great portals tore through the air, and spewed out their endless numbers. They came in droves, clad in strange pieces of metal adorned with crystals that blotted out the sun wherever they walked. They crushed all in their path, tearing straight through magical defenses and physical armor as though they were naught but butter before hot knives. The humans were hit first, and they fought. Oh, how they fought--tooth and nail, clawing and biting and screaming to the last man. But it wasn't enough. Before they fell, they came to us, and to the others as well. But we didn't listen.<br/><br/>The first human nation fell, then the next. We told ourselves we were safe within our verdant strongholds, safe within the grasp of our Mother and Father who watch over us, that the gods would protect us from any disaster that befell us. I'm sure the other races felt the same, the dwarves within their hearths of stone and steel, the halflings hidden just below the surface in their burrows or plying trade along the rivers or in caravans, the orcish tribes warring upon the open plains.<br/><br/>Finally though, it became apparent to all that nothing would sate the invaders but the complete subjugation of the world, and so we banded together. Too late, though, too late. We were too late to stop them. I don't know if it was our unwillingness to fight from the beginning, or the hope lost from the fighting, but fewer and fewer heard the call of the gods. They slowly drifted away, as less people were born who could stave off the darkness. The connection began to fade, and less paladins existed to stand for their beliefs, fewer who could rally the hearts and minds of the people who continued to struggle. They say that as less people believe in them, the gods have less strength, and thus can affect fewer people--a vicious cycle that is nearing its endpoint with those who call to them grow fewer and they are all but forgotten.<br/><br/>As you know, my brethren--the cowards--left their homes. I don't know why or how the Great Council decided to bow before the invaders, but they did. Perhaps to save the young. Perhaps to wait and plan for something to come. Perhaps simply to save their own hides. I and a few others fled, and continued to fight--what's now known as the Resistance. And there were others who would not lay down their arms. The dwarves continued to fight within their strongholds, and the invaders lost many and shed much blood, but even the dwarves were defeated in the end.<br/><br/>Others fought in different ways. Mighty mages of all kinds gathered in one of the last remaining human cities to fight, to struggle against their fate. There they hatched a plan--I do not know what. I was still a mere youngling at the time, and was far away fighting against them myself. But what I do know is that the sky cracked soon afterwards. Was it their plan to deprive the invaders of the sun, or the retaliation of those who had invaded us against the audacity of the mages? Regardless, the sky was broken, and great clouds of grey and yellow filtered in, and the sun was gone. And then the corruption set in. Slowly at first, starting with the plains where the orcs hunted and gathered for their ancient rituals. Having been hit first, the orcs learned to survive the corruption, and now are most prominent of the raiders who take what they need from this city.<br/><br/>But they were just the first. Soon more and more died. And the mages began to disappear. Did they undertake a mass exodus to save their kind, ripping great portals in the air and escaping just as the invaders had come? Were they killed by those who had entered our world? Or did the corruption take them? Whatever the cause, whatever the meaning, the mages became few in numbers, and those that remained were unilaterally slaughtered. Few remain around who know of their ancient magics, and who knows how they learn to conjure beings from nothing or create great gouts of flame from thin air? Not I.<br/><br/>The city then rose. A great cry entered the minds of all the world, a disjointed scream, almost as though someone had come in a hurry to ransack your house and leave a note by the door as to why and what to do. It was... jarring to say the least. But that's how the city got started. They--the Exalted, as they were now calling themselves--declared a new city that would be safe from the corruption. As the rivers blackened and all that was green turned to dust, they promised a safe haven for all those who would come as long as they threw away their arms and obeyed the Exalted.<br/><br/>It is now centuries from then--more than half a millennium, I'm sure. People came to the city. They live here. Work here. Try to etch a living from the dirt, safe from the corruption that covers the land. But for how long? What will be our destiny? Is this our path, to live under their lash and whip until the end of time, or are there some who may make a difference? Who knows, perhaps you young'uns will be the ones who forge a new path into the wilderness, who will find a way to save this city under siege from within. But leave me now. I'm tired, and the days feel longer. Perhaps another day I'll tell another tale. But for now leave me.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Rules of Shattered Haven</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 2em;"">Character Aspects</span><br/><br/>There are relationships primary aspects of your character that should be described at character creation, though they need not be connected to each other.<br/><br/><strong>Strife:</strong> Your character's strife is something that's been happening either recently or for a long time now that troubles your character and causes them stress. Here are some examples:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Abusive family</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Short fuse</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Drinking problem</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">The government wants me</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Kleptomaniac</span></span></li></ul>Note that these should be explained further--how has the Strife aspect been troubling you recently? How has it been causing stress? Why is it beginning to bubble to the surface now?<br/><br/><strong>Goal:</strong> Your character's goal should be a long-term thing they try to achieve. While this aspect is generally not described as fully as the Strife aspect of a character, it should impact the character in a meaningful way and be one of their primary motivators. Remember that this should be something long-term, and not something that can be done at the drop of a hat. Here are some examples:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Find a cure for daughter's sickness</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Make amends guilt over causing a death</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Pay back debt to one of the Houses</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Find out why a certain organization wants you so desperately</span></span></li></ul><strong>Relationships: </strong>This aspect describes your relationship with the various organizations within the city of Tilroth. Pick at least two organizations, one of which is friendly towards you for some reason (perhaps they owe you a debt, or you helped them in some way), and one of which is unfriendly towards you (you've drawn their ire in some way).<br/><br/>This is another aspect where you should be as descriptive as possible--why precisely are you friendly or unfriendly with the organizations? What do they want of you? Is there something special about you, something that you might be trying to hide or are unaware of that makes you so attract their attention so?<br/><br/><strong>Dynamic Entry:</strong> From the womb of development your character explodes dramatically onto the harsh reality of the world. As a cooperative storytelling game, you are just as important as the DM, and this lets allows you, as a player, to affect the very start of the story. This should describe the start of the first scene for your character, and should be full of action or drama that truly defines some aspect of the character. While this might include other characters, usually it is a solo scene that you RP with the DM. Here are some examples:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">You hear a knock on the door--the Watchmen have come for you.

Most challenges have a target number (DC) of 12, though depending on the difficulty of the challenge this may be higher or lower.<br/><br/>Chance of success - To find a character's chance of success, take the DC, reduce the DC by the bonus, and look at the following table:<br/><br/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Modified DC</strong></td><td><strong>Chance of Success</strong></td><td><strong>Rolling Twice (Better)</strong></td><td><strong>Rolling Twice (Worse)</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>16</strong></td><td>4.63%</td><td>9.05%</td><td>0.21%</td></tr><tr><td><strong>15</strong></td><td>9.26%</td><td>17.66%</td><td>0.92%</td></tr><tr><td><strong>14</strong></td><td>16.2%</td><td>29.78%</td><td>2.6%</td></tr><tr><td><strong>13</strong></td><td>25.23%</td><td>44.09%</td><td>6.36%</td></tr><tr><td><strong>12</strong></td><td>37.5%</td><td>60.94%</td><td>14.06%</td></tr><tr><td><strong>11</strong></td><td>50%</td><td>75%</td><td>25%</td></tr><tr><td><strong>10</strong></td><td>62.5%</td><td>85.94%</td><td>39.06%</td></tr><tr><td><strong>9</strong></td><td>74.07%</td><td>93.28%</td><td>54.86%</td></tr><tr><td><strong>8</strong></td><td>83.79%</td><td>97.37%</td><td>70.21%</td></tr><tr><td><strong>7</strong></td><td>90.74%</td><td>99.14%</td><td>85.75%</td></tr><tr><td><strong>6</strong></td><td>95.37%</td><td>99.79%</td><td>90.95%</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Remember that a single challenge can have different target numbers for different abilities--for example, a bouncer might be quite tough to beat up (requiring a 14 to be rolled for Dangerous) but have a routine that forces him to leave his post every 5 minutes (requiring a 9 to be rolled for Watchfulness). Furthermore, if players use their environment or are descriptive and roleplay well, the DM should feel free to add or subtract more to their roll as they see fit. (For example, when using Persuasiveness to shout over the roar of a jet plane when trying to convince a crowd of something.)<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 2em;"">Specialties</span><br/><br/>Characters can choose two different specialties upon character creation tied to specific ability scores (these should be fairly general). Upon doing a challenging activity that uses a specialty, the character may roll twice and take the better roll.<br/><br/>Examples of Specialties:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Dangerous - Fighting underground.</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Dangerous - Fighting on rooftops.</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Watchfulness - Picking up clues.</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Watchfulness - Reading people.</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Persuasive - Handling those connected to a specific organization.</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Persuasive - Bribing people.</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Shadowy - Fleeing on rooftops.</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Shadowy - Picking locks.</span></span></li></ul><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1.45em;"">Gaining Specialties</span><br/><br/>As they go through various trials and tribulations, characters learn to deal with things they've experienced before. At the end of each arc, each player should mention something that affected their character strongly; characters gain a specialty related to what happened, and add it to their list of specialties, though in general this should be even more specific than the starting specialties.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 2em;"">Peril</span><br/><br/>When characters get hurt, are wounded, or suffer they may gain different perils. Each peril is generally tied to an ability (that rises when failed), but this is not always necessarily the case.<br/><br/><strong>Wounds </strong>- A character is bruised, wounded, or generally hurt physically.<br/><strong>Scandal </strong>- The common-folk are repulsed by your actions and you have an unnatural reputation.<br/><strong>Suspicion </strong>- Some organization, the police, or the government is interested in you.<br/><strong>Nightmares </strong>- Madness rises in your mind. Nightmares plague your dreams, and sometimes your waking hours.<br/><br/>Each peril track has 7 levels, and once you have reached level 7 you take a -3 penalty to the related ability score until you reduce the track to the minimum possible for your character (usually 0). This penalty replaces all other consequences of the peril track until it is reset.<br/><br/>Should you fail your peril check, you (or someone else in your party) must continue making checks until someone succeeds, though they need not necessarily be the same sort. For example, you might open with Dangerous, then your friend could try Persuasive, and then you could try Shadowy. Every failure grants a chance of gaining peril.<br/><br/>If you are the one who initiated a situation that requires an ability check, you may try to escape the situation instead of attempting to succeed at it, and doing so gives you a +2 bonus to your check, though it does not bring you any closer to your goal.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1.45em;"">Wounds Track</span><br/><ul class=""bbc_list"" style=""list-style-type: decimal;""><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Lightly scratched.</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Minor bruises.</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Major bruises.</span></span></li><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Cuts and lacerations.

If you roll under the current level nothing occurs, but if you roll equal to or above, your peril increases by one. A 1 on the d6 never causes the peril to increase, while a 6 on the d6 always causes the peril to increase at least by one.<br/><br/>Certain especially perilous actions can raise a peril by more than one at a time at discretion of the DM, or the DM may levy a modifier on the d6 roll to check for a rising peril.<br/><br/>If a character ever has over 7 in a specific peril, they immediately become an NPC, either for a time or permanently (at the DM's discretion).<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 2em;"">Losing Perils</span><br/><br/>You can lose perils through two means:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: Verdana;""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 1em;"">Spending two grace points.

For example, if a character wants to sneak into a house, the player may ask the DM to spend a specific number of grace points in order to have the guard turned the other way (gaining a bonus to the check, for example) or not be there at all. This may be used at the DM's discretion to allow the players to gain contacts, be lucky in their findings, or have some other exceptional turn of luck in-story.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 2em;"">Heroic Sacrifice - Permanently Losing a Character</span><br/><br/>Grace points negotiation - when a character voluntarily sacrifices themselves for something or someone they believe in, or if they have a dramatic death in an attempt to meet story goals, they may discuss this decision before going through with it. In this case, the DM may either let them keep some or all of the grace points they had, or give them conditions they can fulfill when sacrificing themselves in order to keep more grace points.<br/><br/>Upon the loss of a character due to heroic sacrifice, all of the players at the table (including the DM) vote secretly on how heroic the sacrifice was on a scale of 0-10. (Each writes down a number on a piece of paper which goes into a bag.) The average (rounded up) is how many grace points the player gets on top of any he would have kept upon creating a new character.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 2em;"">Magic</span><br/><br/>Certain characters in Shattered Haven have the ability to wield uncanny forces that few others have access to.

This works in the same way as other challenges, with a small twist. First, the aggressor chooses an ability with which he will attack, and then the defender chooses an ability with which he will defend. After that, both the attacker and defender roll, adding the relevant modifier below to the defender's roll as well as any miscellaneous modifiers added by the DM due to the description or use of the environment as normal. The attacker's total sets the defender's target number, and on a failure the defender has a chance of gaining a peril, while on a success the attacker has a chance of gaining a peril.<br/><br/>Remember that the aggressor can choose to retreat if he wishes, gaining the +2 bonus when doing so. Furthermore, should he decide to do so and the defender tries to attack rather than retreating himself, then the defender becomes the attacker from then on (and chooses which attack method to use first). If both players decide to retreat they may do so to end the combat. Repeat the rolls until the combat is resolved, either through both characters choosing to retreat, or until one person has over 7 in a peril.<br/><br/>Columns are what the aggressor chose for their ability when attacking, check by the defender's row, defender gains modifier.<br/><br/>Modifier to defender based on abilities:<br/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td></td><td><strong>Dangerous</strong></td><td><strong>Watchfulness</strong></td><td><strong>Persuasive</strong></td><td><strong>Shadowy</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Dangerous</strong></td><td>+0</td><td>+0</td><td>+2</td><td>-2</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Watchfulness</strong></td><td>+0</td><td>+0</td><td>-2</td><td>+2</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Persuasiveness</strong></td><td>-2</td><td>+2</td><td>+0</td><td>+0</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Shadowy</strong></td><td>+2</td><td>-2</td><td>+0</td><td>+0</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Character Sheet</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Copy the following when making your character:<br/><br/><div class=""codeheader"">Code: <a class=""codeoperation"" href=""javascript:void(0);"" onclick=""return smfSelectText(this);"">[Select]</a></div><pre style=""margin: 0; padding: 0;""><code class=""bbc_code"">[size=5]Character Sheet:[/size]<br/><br/>[floatright][img height=300]http://&lt;YOURPICTUREURLHERE.JPG&gt;[/img][/floatright][b]Name:[/b]<br/><br/>[b]Race:[/b]<br/><br/>[b]Appearance:[/b]<br/><br/>[b]Background:[/b]<br/><br/>[b]Strife:[/b]<br/><br/>[b]Goal:[/b]<br/><br/>[b]Relationships:[/b]<br/><br/>[b]Dynamic Entry:[/b]<br/><br/>[b]Abilities:[/b]<br/>Dangerous: (0-3)<br/>Watchfulness: (0-3)<br/>Persuasive: (0-3)<br/>Shadowy: (0-3)<br/><br/>[b]Specialties:[/b]<br/>(Pick two specialties, assigning them each to an ability.)<br/><br/>[b]Perils:[/b]<br/>Wounds: (0-7)<br/>Nightmares: (0-7)<br/>Scandal: (0-7)<br/>Suspicion: (0-7)<br/><br/>[b]Grace Points:[/b]<br/>(0+)<br/><br/>[b]Magic:[/b]<br/>(If any, choose one or more.)</code></pre></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Races of Shattered Haven</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Humans</span><br/><br/>With how quickly they breed and their will to never give up, Humans are the dominant race of Tilroth.

Sometimes living hard and fast, and other times at a slow and steady pace, humans fill both some of the highest offices in government and the lowest slums as both pushers and junkies.

Thus, to this day they continue to be untrusted, forced to dig and burrow deeper into the earth to find gems and other minerals, tearing into the world's heart and soul. Ever-watched, ever-monitored, sometimes a lone dwarf will find some way to break free of the surveillance placed on him and flee to join the resistance, one of the gangs above, or somewhere else relatively safe above the surface, prolonging his existance a little longer--or not.<br/><br/>Roleplaying Merit: Tough<br/>Roleplaying Flaw: Stubborn<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">High Elves</span><br/><br/>The elves of Tilroth are amongst the most trusted by the government.

Many of other races say that elves are naturally evil, their fey-like nature being the most easily molded by the power of the Exalted Ones, but behind some doors it is whispered that the elves simply surrendered so that they might fight against the government from within--or because they saw some long-term plan that needed to be carried out that the more short-lived races were unable to fathom. Either way, elves are often looked upon with a strange mixture of suspician and adoration by many in the populace, on one hand having willingly been enslaved, while on the other being graceful and beautiful, so beyond the reach of the common man. With their long-term views, elves rarely become emotional or allow themselves to become embroiled in something personally dangerous, having far more years than others of different races. Thus, they often stay aloof and distant, except for the exceptionally passionate elf who is often disdained by his own kind.<br/><br/>Roleplaying Merit: Graceful<br/>Roleplaying Flaw: Aloof<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Wild Elves</span><br/><br/>The races with the strongest connection to the natural world are the wood and wild elves--and some also say that they are the most corrupt.

Covered from head to toe with clothes of uniform colors with only their eyes showing, elves are very xenophobic and tend to kill anyone who enters their ""territory"" without any questions asked. They're nomadic, travelling from place to place, and often raid towns for their needs. However, every elf journies into the cities, where they are often met with disdain and hate for their way of life and the way that their tribes take whatever they want. Their prejudices confirmed, most return home within a year. Those who do not are known as the ""Lost"", and are considered dead to the tribe. Even if they return after a year has passed, they are considered ghosts to their tribe, ones to be met with arrow and sword and killed just as any other outsider would be lest they bring the taint of the cities into the tribe's tents. The elves practice cannibalism, eating both their own dead and their enemies, believing that they will gain the wisdom of their ancestors or the strength of their enemies. Minor mutations are common amongst these elves, and many have an extra finger or toe, the magical taint of the land changing their very bodies in ways that most people see as unnatural.<br/><br/>Roleplaying Merit: Aggressive<br/>Roleplaying Flaw: Xenophobic<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Gnomes</span><br/><br/>Unlike their dwarvish cousins, the gnomes of Tilroth were unable to put up an organized resistance when the Exalted Ones took over and were quickly crushed within their halls of earth and stone. Rather than let their stores of knowledge and technological wonders be destroyed, the gnomes allowed the invaders in with minimal resistance after they had entered the city proper--though the battle to there had been savage and full of violence. Now the government has gnomes doing what they do best--inventing. The gnomish thirst for knowledge continues to drive them on in their endeavor, though no longer do their own morals dictate what they are and aren't willing to invent. However, gnomish equipment often breaks down or even explodes for no reason--perhaps with their heart no longer in their work, their inventions have lost their durability, or perhaps the gnomes are purposefully sabotaging their own creations to limit the extent of the damage caused by the government...<br/><br/>Roleplaying Merit: Inquisitiveness<br/>Roleplaying Flaw: Inattentiveness<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Half-Elves</span><br/><br/>Outcasts and pariahs, half-elves are often seen as mistakes that should have been aborted by their elvish ancestors, or as the progeny of monsters and fey by their human family. Often growing up bitter and angry at the world, half-elves can often be found leading gangs, their natural grace granting them a position of leadership while their rage at those who turned them away keeping those beneath them in line. One characteristic of many half-elves is their hedonistic tendencies, wanting to experience as much pleasure as possible where the world denied them it, and a number can be found prostituting themselves or others or dealing and taking drugs for a brief sense of ephemeral pleasure. Rarely they become diplomats, dealing between the elves and the rest of the world as an untrusted ambassador who might turn on one like a feral animal.<br/><br/>Roleplaying Merit: Guileful<br/>Roleplaying Flaw: Hedonistic<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Half-Orcs</span><br/><br/>Power. In society, power is what is respected, and many half-orcs have this in plenty in the form of their strength. When careful negotiations don't get you what you want, a fist through someone's sternum is a good alternative in the mind of most half-orcs. It is a sign of some note amongst many politicians and nobles to have half-orc bodyguards, and these often stay true to their employers since they get the opportunity to look threatening and are able to look forward to steady pay. Still, others find a place within the gangs that wander the seedier streets, roughing up or even mugging a passerby for whatever they might have in their pocket. Sometimes when a group of half-orcs has done something so heinous that they must leave the city completely they might band together and become raiders, living in the Wasteland and preying upon the fringes of the city.<br/><br/>Roleplaying Merit: Intimidating<br/>Roleplaying Flaw: Violent<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Halflings</span><br/><br/>Universally hated and despised for their skill, halflings are second-class citizens and sometimes even slaves of some of the more despicable fetishes that politicians indulge at times. Their skills at burglary and sneaking about undetected allow many halflings to live in the only way that society allows them--through crime, which creates a vicious cycle, perpetuating the stereotype that all halflings are to be despised for their treachery. Many of the largest crime syndicates are run or operated by halflings, and there is even talk of an underground system that offers safe haven for halflings on the run.<br/><br/>Roleplaying Merit: Cunning<br/>Roleplaying Flaw: Iniquitous<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Centaurs</span><br/><br/>Most horses died out when the arcane corruption spread through the land, unable to defend themselves against the taint. While some still survive and are used by the rich and wealthy to drag around in carriages, much of the menial work that they once fulfilled is done by centaurs. Their stability and ability to carry more than other races shoehorns most of the centaurs to the farms on the edge of the city, where they often suffer from raids from which they can do little to defend themselves. However, the centaur knows that his lot in life is to work and suffer, and so they continue to do their jobs without complaint, knowing that they could be in a much worse situation if they were forced out of the city completely. Stolid, most centaurs are born and die on the farms, accepting their duty, though a few are adventurous enough to forge deeper into the city to find work, and most of those are often conned into even worse jobs where they become simple beasts of burden once more, though for nobles who are less wealthy. Due to their gentle nature, most of the inhabitants of the city assume that centaurs are as stupid as horses are, and the biggest difference between the two is that horses can't speak; from there came the oft-used phrase, ""As stupid as a centaur.""<br/><br/>Roleplaying Merit: Placid<br/>Roleplaying Flaw: Acquiescent<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Drow</span><br/><br/>When their God-Queen was struck from their minds, as all the gods were from the minds of morals, the drow knew that they must keep faithful and turned their fury and fright at her disappearance upon their own society. Implementing strict restrictions and regulations, they turned to their children, beginning a society-wide indoctrination that many opposed. Those who fought against the changes were killed, by poison and shadow or out in the open. Slowly becoming unopposed, drow society warped into what it is today; a militant theocracy ruled by the former priestesses of the god. All newborns are taken from their mothers and led through a gauntlet of traditions that have lost much of their meaning over the centuries. They are told that females are superior to males, that everyone who is not drow is an enemy, and that they must die for their race and will be rewarded by joining their Goddess, though no one knows the truth. At night beneath the cover of darkness and their own abilities they sabotage key areas and lay traps, and at times during the day they go into crowded areas and sacrifice themselves by igniting massive black-powder explosives kept beneath billowing cloaks. Leading a constant guerrilla war against most factions, the drow are usually reviled and hated wherever they go, if not attacked on sight, though some whisper of a tenuous alliance between the Resistance and the drow--after all, the enemy of one's enemy can be used...<br/><br/>Roleplaying Merit: Ambitious<br/>Roleplaying Flaw: Vengeful<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Shifters</span><br/><br/>There aren't many shifters out there, but they usually live in their own small communities; yet most of the shifters don't come from shifter parents, but instead are born to one of the other races. Some say that it's a throwback to a more primal time, while others say it's a punishment levied upon families by the world for the corruption that fills it. Either way, it's a fact that shifters are born to every race. For the most part they appear as normal children until they hit puberty when the... change begins. Some time during puberty, they undergo the Change, one which makes them more feral. The Change doesn't usually last long, but its effects are irreversible, turning the person into a fully-fledged shifter, able to call upon his powers at any time. The Change is a horrifying process that appears different for each person, yet each carries the corruption of the world in their Changed appearance. Soon after the Change, most parents disown their children if they cannot hide the Change from the world, and the shifter goes to live with his own kind, much of the time an outcast from the rest of society. Shifters often participate in crime, and while they aren't as despised as halflings are (people fear them more than they despise them), they often fight with them for territory and access to criminal goods, the Change helping them commit criminal acts where a halfling's small size and quickness would help them. Shifters themselves are often sterile, meaning that their numbers are often replenished by the children of other races, and each shifter has something that marks them in some small way as one who has been tainted by the corruption of the land, though this can be anything from a vestigial tail to protruding teeth to a need to shave heavily on a daily basis.<br/><br/>Roleplaying Merit: Aggressive<br/>Roleplaying Flaw: Feral<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Tieflings</span><br/><br/>No one is sure if the Tieflings were warped by the corruption of the wastes, if they made pacts with things unimaginable in order to help them fight the otherworldly invaders, or if the gods decided to punish them for some long-forgotten sin as they departed the world. The thing that is for sure, however, is that Tieflings are twisted beings, their bodies appearing demonic and evil without a doubt. They are often ignored, but sometimes attacked should a scapegoat be needed for some reason, and thus often move from area to area in a nomad fashion. Their skill with fire and flames allows them to become great blacksmiths, and often they sell their services when they come to a new area. They are known for their great artisans, but also are believed to steal everything that isn't nailed down, though this is often untrue. Generally easy-going, they often open up shops and booths to cater to townsfolk, moving on when they wish to--or run out by angered townfolk who use them as scapegoats.<br/><br/>Roleplaying Merit: Easygoing<br/>Roleplaying Flaw: Unassuming</div></div>"

Have you ever seen one? I mean, everyone knows about Seneschal Artestax, and you see him riding in his fancy carriage every once in a while. But who gives him orders? No one, that's who! There are no Exalted, it's just a myth created by those who took power after the Last War to keep the populace in check!</em><br/><br/>The government of Tilroth is split into a number of sections; the Seneschal, the noble houses, the politicians, and the secret police.<br/><br/>Seneschal Artestax is the man at the top who keeps the city under control and running. Smooth as silk and subtle as sin, he is an older human male, who seems to make everyone around him wary with his wolfish gaze. Often dressed in purple, blue, and black as befits his lineage, he is thin and cunning and is rumored to be a very powerful and deadly not only politically but also in combat.<br/><br/>Below the Seneschal are the nobility who do little actual running of the city apart from their own affairs. However, they have enough clout that they do as they like in ordering around the politicians below them--yet each and every one is wary of crossing Artestax who leaves many of the House heads sweating when they leave him after being summoned.<br/><br/>And then there are the politicians. Corruption grows within their hearts, but they do what they're told and are the general managers of specific parts of the city that the Seneschal has no time for. Tempted by power, many have sick tastes that they indulge behind closed doors, using their authority to do as they please with the people of the city.<br/><br/>Finally there are the secret police, beholden to no man. They go where they want, listen in on who they please, and work for the real rulers of the city--the Exalted. Many of the secret police wield strange psionic powers gifted to them by their psionic lords who keep them on a tight leash behind the shadows. The secret police also runs a rigorous and vicious campaign against anyone suspected of wielding arcane powers, quickly finding and ""questioning"" captives who are thought to be mages, which often ends in the suspect's death.<br/><br/>As for the Exalted, no one has seen one in many years, yet they still pass on orders at times to the police or the Seneschal when they deem it necessary, and often their orders are mysterious and perplexing, at times making no sense whatsoever. It is said that they live in the highest tower of the city right at its heart, gazing upon it in their seat of power where other buildings crowd humbly to do their bidding.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Noble Houses</span><br/><br/><em>We are the last of the pure ones; the last of the noble line. Those who defy us die choking on their own blood. Those who challenge us rue the day they were born. We have the power, and we use it as we wish to further our aims. They will all crumble before our might--even the other Houses who plot against us. They will all die, and one day we shall control everything, and remake it in our own image. But first the city. Then the world.</em><br/><br/>The noble houses of Tilroth have been around for a long time--even before the start of the war against the Exalted. They are the ones who were smart enough, cunning enough, rich enough, bloodthirsty enough, or powerful enough to remain when all the others fell, and they grudgingly bowed before the Exalted--at least in appearance. They squabble between each other, constantly attempting to gain power over one-another until only one house remains. Their machinations have been brewing for centuries, and each has found their own niche, yet each one has been able to weather the attacks from the others. And so they continue to stew their plans, acting behind cat-paws and politics, as of yet not finding a hold over another house.<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li><strong>Kulthas </strong>- House Kulthas revels in bloodshed; they run the Blood Games, and their martial might is unchallenged amongst the other noble houses. Passion and anger run deeply within the house, and conflicts often have a bloody end with duels common amongst the younger members of the house.</li><li><strong>Neecha </strong>- Scheming behind closed doors, House Keecha is said to have a double-agent working within almost every organization in Tilroth. Feints within feints, wheels within wheels, one never knows if one is playing exactly into their hands when interacting with House Neecha. Perhaps by doing exactly the opposite of what one is told to do, one does just as they planned.</li><li><strong>Sarok </strong>- Mired in traditions, House Sarok hosts arcane rituals deep within their basements, hidden from the prying eyes of those who'd want to know more. Changing the tide of happenings with their works, things often go their way for no reason at all--almost by luck. The truth is that blood sacrifices deep within their dens allow them to remain in control of more than one might imagine.</li><li><strong>Gildas </strong>- Rich beyond belief, House Gildas is the primary moneylender and broker within the city. Endless coffers seem to fountain forth from within their walls, allowing them to forcibly take over most organizations through financial clout. This also means that they can hire the very best bodyguards, forcing those who desire to fill their own pockets with gold to hesitate before assaulting the House. Gluttonous beyond belief, members of this house are often rotund, swelling with the indulgences they partake in daily.</li><li><strong>Denthor </strong>- Much of the unorganized crime that isn't perpetrated by the Thieves Guild is done by House Denthor. Prostitution, drugs, theft, embezzlement and more are the purview of this house, and powerful enough to give even the Thieves Guild pause when their interests clash. House Denthor will stoop to almost any level, often poisoning or addicting competitors to drugs in order to subvert or eliminate them.</li></ul><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Blood Games</span><br/><br/><em>&lt;WWE/gladiator/dungeon crawls, all expediently transmitted through teleboxes directly into the viewer's mind&gt;</em><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Academy</span><br/><br/><em>You are the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the brightest of your peers. Through the grace of the Exalted you have been chosen to become the elite who defend the city against all threats, both foreign and domestic. You are the final line of defense against those who would destroy this great civilization. You may be asked to do things you're unsure of, things that may go against what you've been taught is right, or things that you may find detestable, but know that it is for the good of the city. And regardless, you will obey. We'll make sure of it.</em><br/><br/>The Academy is the place of higher learning in the city. The brightest minds congregate there, learning their crafts under the watchful eyes of the instructors, and come out with peerless knowledge of their chosen profession. Chirurgeons, lawyers, history-keepers, writers, mechanics and more are produced at the Academy, each one greater than the last in their expertise in the field. The school is very competitive, and any who are less than gifted often wash out to become lesser craftsmen of no meaning. Yet beneath the Academy is a secret that few outside the government are aware of.<br/><br/>For beneath the Academy is another place--the Institution. In the Institution, the elite enforcers of the government learn the crafts of war. Many partake in the psychic crafts, yet any who can prove their worth are trained and inundated with utter loyalty to the government. Experiments and special substances are infused into the bodies of these recruits, turning them into fighting machines the like of which are not often seen in the world. Most of the students in the Institution continue their studies aboveground at the Academy, yet they are given special privileges, and often stand aloof, knowing that they are even better than those who only come to selfishly better themselves rather than the city. So that they don't stand out, many are given tools and psionically aligned items that allow them to disguise their appearance.<br/><br/>At times a student may attempt to escape from the Institution before they have completed the brainwashing and training that they are put through, but most are hunted down and used for experiments. Yet a few evade the long arm of the government long enough to disappear into one of the many organizations that dot the city--yet always living in fear that they may be identified and hunted down to be taken back, all that know them killed in case the student spilled even the smalled of the Institution's secrets.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Silver Hilt</span><br/><br/><em>Witches, each and every one of them. Evil, despicable, strange, foul, corrupt witches who should all be burned at the stake. Look at them. See how they view us. No emotion crosses their faces--as though we're nothing, bugs to each and every one of them to be squashed underfoot. Doesn't that make you angry, being looked down on like that? Yeah, me too. Still, as much as I hate to admit it, they might be the one thing between us and those... monsters.</em><br/><br/>The Silver Hilt is an organization run primarily by the government, with strong ties to the Institution, filled with women who have undergone a hideous transformation after being implanted with the organs and flesh of abominations. While on the outside the only indication that they've undergone the transformation is the unnatural bone-white color of their hair, the ageless appearance of their faces, and their eyes, which appear to be slitted like that of a cat or snake, on the inside corruption flows through their veins and organs, which are twisted in unnatural ways. These are the government's answer to the abominations, and these women can detect when an abomination is nearby, often coming out in force to eradicate such creatures before they can do too much damage.<br/><br/>While it is said that all men who were experimented on died, candidates for the transformation are young girls from all walks of life, often ones whose lives have been violated by the abominations in some way. As young girls after the horrible surgery, girls often enter a daze and wander around. Due to this, they are assigned a guardian who follows them at all times and keeps them safe from abominations who find the guts of newly-transformed girls delectable. These guardians are all males forever sealed in giant suits of metal and steel who have been wiped of virtually all sentient thought beyond that of protecting their ward by the Institution, determined to carry out their mission parameters until they fall in battle.<br/><br/>The girls who make it towards late puberty become full members of the Silver Hilt, working to eradicate abominations until they too fall in battle, or become abominations themselves. For with the power of the abominations comes great risks. Calling upon the corruption leads these women down a dangerous path where they can become ever stronger and stronger due to the taint, but at the same time they risk becoming abominations themselves should they cross the threshold. As they come closer to their limit, they become misshapen and horrible to look upon, and many of the populace flee in terror while stories are propagated about the snake-eyed witches who work for the government and steal girls from their beds at night to fortify their own ranks.<br/><br/>Note: Mechanically, all members of the Silver Hilt have the arcane-corrupted template.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Watch</span><br/><br/><em>They laugh at us from their high perches. To them we're scum, barely better than any other citizen despite our badges and our blades. Thugs. Vermin. Miscreants. Misfits. Outcasts. But we know the true underbelly of the city, and continue doing what we can to make it through one more day. To save one more innocent life.</em><br/><br/>The City Watch is the name of the organization sponsored by the city to take care of small crimes that the secret police don't care to do. Theft, murder, arson and more fill the days of the City Watch, men and women who don't fit anywhere else. At times a naive and innocent person may join the City Watch, perhaps having displeased one of the noblemen or a superior, but those sharp edges are quickly worn away by the devastation one sees around the city when walking it.<br/><br/>They also quickly learn to understand the city; where it's safe to go, where one can get a warm meal late at night, who to trust, who not to. They learn quickly or they die, though veterans try to help the new recruits along as best they can be bothered to. After all, the new recruit might be another sword by your side one day when taking down a murderer. Still, despite the derision heaped upon them and the evils they must daily face... perhaps it is the City Watch that does the most good for the regular citizens of Tilroth.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Resistance</span><br/><br/><em>They've taken so much from us. Our freedom. Our desires. Or ability to think for ourselves. To expand. To grow. And even to exist in some cases. They've taken our family, our friends, our heritage, our rights, and sapped so many of us of our will. Yet I stand for what's right, for myself and for my comrades who fight by my side to end this tyranny. We've lost many battles, and won some. Yet the war is far from over, and we'll constantly be the thorn at their side. We are the candle in the darkness, and though I may fall, others who see the light will take my place and carry on the battle. We will fight on.</em><br/><br/>When the war against the invasion of the Exalted was lost, those who would continue the fight went underground. They valiantly fight a losing war against the oppressors, constantly struggling against innumerable odds in the belief that they make a difference and help bring an end to the grip the Exalted have over the people. And sometimes they do, sabotaging the attempts of the government and bringing some semblance of hope to the common man. Yet other times, the schemes they carry out hurt just as many civilians as they hurt the enemy.<br/><br/>Located primarily below the city within the convoluted sewer system, the Resistance is led by a masked figure named Geist. Geist has been leading the Resistance for as long as anyone can remember, and many people wonder if it's the same person, or rather, different people who all wear the same mask. Often working in cells with little communication between them in case of captured, Resistance members get their orders through information drops or through individuals with access to a few cells. The biggest thing keeping them together and united is the indelible hatred for the government above.<br/><br/>Public opinion on the Resistance is mixed; some see them as saviors--the few who would fight against the evils of the Exalted, while others see them as terrorists of the worst kind and quickly inform the police when contact is made to capture them. Spurred on by the ingenious plans created by Geist, they continue fighting an eternal war that can have only one of two outcomes--the complete destruction of the Exalted, or their own doom and death.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Clergy of the Old Gods</span><br/><br/><em>Can you not hear them? They call out, whispering from a great distance, barely hearable--but they're there! I know it! And if you would just open your hearts and minds to them you could hear them too! Please, just listen to me--no, where are you going? I'm not mad I tell you! I'm not! Just listen for a moment!</em><br/><br/>The old gods are gone, having left the world to its own machinations. As despair took more and more people, as more and more people lost all hope, less believed in the gods. After all, what kind of god would let such things befall the world? And so a downward spiral; as less people believed in them, the gods grew weaker and weaker, became distant from the world, and even less believed. Today virtually no one remembers anything of them, the ones who loved them having mostly disappeared from the world.<br/><br/>And yet something happened towards the end of the Great War that sealed their fate; one day a great ripple was felt throughout the whole world and the names of the gods were stricken from books and the minds of those who knew them. Suddenly no one remembered who exactly they venerated, which rites and rituals were for which god or goddess, and without a name to create a connection to the gods which they once venerated even the strongest cleric lost their power. Since then, the gods have stayed silent for the most part, though various theories rest amongst scholars who wonder why such a thing happened. Was it the work of the Exalted? Or perhaps the gods were so disgusted that with what power they had left they shut the door on the world? Perhaps one of the gods had betrayed the others, and the war that ensued destroyed them all?<br/><br/>Yet a few are still born with a tenuous connection to ... something divine. The bond is incredibly rare, but there are still some who are able to work divine magic--yet the resonance is so faint that at times they lose all connection and their power may disappear for days at a time. But still the few believe, and try to convince others to believe too--though they rarely, if ever, succeed in gaining even a single believer. Thus, most are left alone with only the voices in their heads, wondering if they are truly listening to gods or simply insane, and if they might be better off dead.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Guild of Steamwrights</span><br/><br/><em>&lt;Information on the guild that creates and maintains the steam-mechs of Tilroth&gt;</em><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Runners</span><br/><br/><em>Running. The air across your face. The city's face beneath your feet. The whole city looks so small when you're running. But people want to stop you from running. They have their rules, their regulations, their silly little laws that they think they can enforce upon you. And if they catch you, they just might. But until then, you're free, jumping from rooftop to rooftop on buildings that seem to almost scrape the very sky, jumping from wall to wall and reaching places where your pursuers could never hope to catch you. And while you're at it, why not make a few coins here and there running errands for those who would buck the law as well?</em><br/><br/>The Runners of Tilroth are an elusive group who specialize in moving quickly from place to place; often they act as messengers for various groups who are enemies with the government and police. They are a free source of moving information from one place to another without the eyes of officials scanning every single document that passes them by. They run, live, breathe and eat on the edges of society, far above the city where troubles appear far smaller. While some are jumpers, others might be scouts, monks, or simply folk who are trained in acrobatics.<br/><br/>The elusive leader of the Runners is an Aranea who goes by the moniker of Spinster; she assigns jobs to various runners, all the while making sure to keep her subordinates out of places they can't handle while keeping them informed of any trouble they might encounter. A few notable subordinates who manage runners under the watchful eye of Spinster include a Changeling named Nelsat, a Whisper Gnome by the name of Sels'na, and the kobold Zu'uk.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Thieves Guild</span><br/><br/><em>The last of the old guard. That's us. We fought valiantly, we're coordinated, organized, and a military force to be reckoned with by any account. But then we were told to lay down our arms. To bow before the invaders. They said that they would rather not lose any men, that the war was over. Well, the war's been over for a long time now. But we're warriors, and just because the war's over doesn't mean that we're any less organized, any less coordinated, or any less deadly. And with the amount of dirt we have on the various politicians, this city's almost as good as ours.</em><br/><br/>Almost militaristic in its organization, the Thieves Guild is the brainchild of the remnants of the toughest commandos and operators that were left jobless at the end of the Last War. Deeply tied to the politics that run certain parts of the city, the Thieves Guild pays its taxes through fake organizations while at the same time being the largest source of organized crime. Folk live in fear of a time when the Thieves Guild knocks on their door, threatening to burn the place down if they aren't paid an insurance against accidents. After all, it's very easy for the water to become poisoned, for a building to go up in flames, or for an accident with sharp blades to happen.<br/><br/>However, sometimes people mistake the Guild's organization for weakness, and at times individual thieves decide to prey upon innocents on the Guild's ground. These are dealt with quickly and painfully, and there is often a corpse hanging outside of the Guild's headquarters showing the latest thief who thought to encroach on the Guild's territory. Such a reminder deters most of the petty thieves, who often go to the areas of the city controlled by the gangs, but there are always a few who don't get the message and may be next swinging in the wind.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Gangs</span><br/><br/><em>The city is a cesspool of depravity and filth. But it's our cesspool, and we're the filth. So I guess that's alright. It's hard to live from day to day--if you're not part of a pack, you're just another loner waiting for the police to take you in and rough you up. But there's strength in numbers; as long as you're in a group they usually won't risk it. We control this side of town, but every day we need to remind others that this territory's ours. Other gangs try to encroach on our space, pushers unrelated to us get members hooked on a variety of uppers and downers, and you don't know if you'll wake up dead with a dagger in your back tomorrow. From another gang, or from someone in your own that has a grudge against you.</em><br/><br/>Life in Tilroth can be hard, and either you're pushed around or push others around. The ones who push congregate in gangs, often with a single leader who controls the gang and proves that they're the top dog for a reason. Gang fights are common, and often enough the victims are folk unaffiliated with either gang when fights break out. In the shadier areas of town strongly controlled by the gangs the only order is that instated by the gang, and even the police don't dare to venture there.<br/><br/>Many of the gangs run various schemes to bring in the money needed to buy new weapons for recruits off the streets, engaging in protection rackets that target prostitution, entertainment, bars and shopping, as well as other schemes such as blackmail. Each group has its own rituals, including hazings, punishments for failures (one example of which is cutting off the smallest finger at the knuckle for a large mistake) and so on.<br/><br/>One such gang is the Broken Tooth gang, led by Marissa One-Eye, a half-elf. Her lieutenant is the crafty halfling who goes only by Dirt.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Raiders</span><br/><br/><em>The strong survive. That's what life is all about, right? I said right, right? That's right. If you can't hold on to what you want, if you can't take what you want, then you're nothing. Weak. The food chain is right there for all to see, and we're right at the top. Take what you want and survive. If you can't, you're as good as dead. And you don't want to be dead, do you? That's what I thought. Now fight.</em><br/><br/>The raiders consist of several groups of humanoids of different races, though male orcs and hobgoblins dominate their ranks for the most part. The orcish plains were hit first when the Exalted invaded, and the orcs adapted to the corruption, charted where the worst of it was through sheer numbers, and mapped where to avoid. These days they travel the Wastes in stolen mechanical giants taken from the Steamwrights, and when they need something they raid the fringes of Tilroth, slaughtering all who get in their way and taking what they want as they please.<br/><br/>Infighting is common amongst the raiders, though not usually fatal, and raiders know who's at the top and who's below them with a hierarchy that changes at times when the strong ones grow old enough to be replaced by newer, stronger leaders. Outcasts from society who've grown sick with it fill the ranks of the raiders, and the state of the city means that there are often new recruits--those, and the children taken from their homes when the raider ranks grow too small. The City Watch fights the raiders when they come, but for the most part much of the authority doesn't care--the raiders never take enough to make a dent in the metropolis, and if a few dozen die then the politicians aren't inconvenienced whatsoever.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Rangers</span><br/><br/><em>It's hard to make a living doing what we do. Braving the Waste every day, living between the knife's edge and doom, dealing with raiders, abominations, damned xenophobic elves, and, of course, the arcane corruption that covers the land is no easy task. And yet the Waste has a side that few beyond our order have seen; it can be a cruel, harsh, yet beautiful thing. Its beauty surpasses all of the gold in the city; it is for that, that I do what I do.</em><br/><br/>A small, unorganized group, the Rangers are the brave few who enter the Wastes and leave them sane and alive. They are often pathfinders, seekers, guides, and guardians of those who wish to travel through the Waste safely, and are amongst the only ones who can navigate between the great tides of arcane corruption that cover the land to find safe paths between different regions within the Waste.<br/><br/>When one is initiated into the Rangers, one undergoes a secret ritual where one imbibes the blood of an abomination; while most die, the few who live gain the power to sense Arcane Corruption to a strong degree, as well as the presence of other abominations. Solitary folk, they rarely travel in groups of more than two or three, and are more often found alone, earning money by taking people into the Wastes to ruins that still harbor untold wealth--though few that they escort ever actually make it back alive.<br/><br/>One of the most experienced Rangers is the elf Ulthas, and most Rangers defer to his knowledge and expertise in the going-ons of the Waste.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Abominations of the Waste</span><br/><br/><em>One moment it was just me and my family--my mother, father, and older brother. And suddenly my brother laughed... He'd never laughed like that before. It was eery. And suddenly his face... changed. It grew a little longer, and thick veins of blues and greens seemed to jut out all over his flesh. I'm... I'm so ashamed. I ran. Screams behind me, and I barely looked back until I reached my room. From there I lay under the bed and watched it rip open my mother and father. And it started eating their guts, steaming in the cool air, and they twitched with every mouthful. Horror filled me, but I couldn't look away from under the bed as it finished its meal.</em><br/><br/>Strange humanoid abominations wander sporadically through the waste. Incredibly strong and fast, they can rip a man in half with little trouble to feast upon his guts. Intestines are their favored form of food, though they can metabolize virtually any organic material. However, when a hunger takes them they hunt for sentient beings to rip apart and eat. They can also eat the brain of a sentient being, and are then able to take on that being's flesh, appearance, and memory to masquerade behind a skin mask as that being, fooling even the closest friends and family. Thus, anyone can be an abomination. The only two types of people who can sense the presence of abominations are the women of the Silver Hilt, and to a lesser extent the Rangers, though the range at which they can sense abominations is much smaller than that of the Silver Hilt.<br/><br/>Unknown to virtually all, abominations were originally failed experiments of the Institute when experimenting with arcane corruption. In an effort to create super-soldiers for some unknown purpose, the energies of the Wasteland were too much for the scientists to handle, and the whole experiment was shut down. To combat the menace, the Silver Hilt was created.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Demons</span><br/><br/><em>We wait for our time. Bound for millenia, biding our time, shackled beneath the earth we wait. But the chains that bind us slowly crumble and break against our ceaseless efforts against them. Our numbers are countless, and were we able to simply be free we would show the mortal races what true destruction and depravity is. A glorious killing the like of which they have never seen. We simply wait. Our time is coming--not tomorrow, not the day after, perhaps not even within the next century. But our bindings slowly loosen.</em><br/><br/>Ages ago in time long forgotten now, the war between the surfacers and the demons ended with the great mages enacting binding rituals that sealed the demons beneath the ground. Yet those rituals are slowly eroding with time, and at times one of the demons break free--often enough a quasit or imp, though sometimes something far more insidious. The stronger demons often possess people in power when they get free, and control their vessel to destroy arcane relics of the past, hoping to hasten the day when all demons are free.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Devils</span><br/><br/><em>They were fools, they who left this place to invade the material plane. And for their folly, they were locked away underground. That is not our way--no, working insidiously through the shadows will always yield greater results. We make pacts and contracts with mortals, giving them power and opening the way for our possession. While they are few in number, those who accept our pacts truly have the power to change the world into a place in our own image.</em><br/><br/>Devils reside on the Plane of Nightmares, and are the minority who refused to join their brethren when their invasion of the Material Plane took place. Slowly they regained their numbers, and now work towards a goal known only to them. The source of arcane magic, they make faustian pacts with mortals in their dreams, allowing them to gain a measure of power in order to open the way for possession of that person. They are the ones who whisper arcane formulas to some, who later copy them down into books, while showing others how to unlock the power within themselves, allowing them to cast spells with very little practice, almost as though it were instinctual. Yet with every spell, their hold grows until one day they gain full control of a person, taking control of them completely.<br/><br/>Possession usually takes a very long period of time, often years, sometimes decades and in the hardest cases a millennium or two as the person slowly bargains bits and pieces of themselves away for greater power. Yet invariably, if they don't reach the end of their lifespan first, it is the destiny of every arcane spellcaster to end up being possessed by a devil. Devils were the origin of arcane magic, and continue to seed arcane secrets even as the government seeks to eradicate them. They come to mortals in need, and lure them with promises of power, making good on their deal... until the mortal finds that the price to pay is often greater than what they gained from the deal.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Zeltukal</span><br/><br/><em>It slithered up from beneath the ground--I've still got no idea what it was. Its sinuous form was sheathed in an armor of obsidian scale, and a dark void within its eyes called to me. I tried to flee, to run, to scatter, my mind blown to the wind apart from the ever-present cry to run, to hide, to gibber in terror. Rather than gibber, I looked down, and a deeper terror gripped me as I saw my foot move forward before my eyes once more locked upon the creature. It seemed to be confused by my fear, and for a moment I feel as though we may have shared a thought--too alien, too unnatural, not of this world. And then I had no thought at all.</em><br/><br/>Creatures from a realm beyond the material, the Zeltukal as they are collectively called are the beings that reside what other civilizations may have called the Far Planes. There, there is no order and the very laws of physics, magic, and the mind are twisted, bent, and even torn apart with each. What is it that the Zeltukal want? No one is certain. But one thing that's for sure is that they are always there, a hair's breadth into one of the higher dimensions, constantly clawing at reality, attempting to enter.<br/><br/>The walls that were set down at the beginning when the Moulder created the world have begun to fray and tear apart, becoming more like a film than a strong wall, and at times one of the Zeltukal may escape into Tilroth. Depraved and mad cultists worship such creatures when they come, hailing them as gods to be revered and brought offerings. But who can know what the true intent of the Zeltukal is?<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Scarlet Fang</span><br/><br/><em>Can you not hear her? Our mother cries in pain, wracked by a corruption not of her doing. She cries in rage, in pain, in agony. Yet we are all part of nature--so let us follow her example. We will tear and rip and break the civilization that binds us until we once more return to our mother, clearing this blight from her body. And once she is free of the depravity on her very soil, of those who would tear her further for their own petty gains we will be able to rejoin her completely, and may she once more be happy with us and our doings.</em><br/><br/>Nature is changed by the arcane corruption that grips the land, a relic of the Exalted's invasion into this plane. And just as it is changed, so are her servants. Druids change into hideous mockeries of the animals they try to emulate, and often lose themselves in the grip of rage, seeing no friend apart from those as changed as they are. Their mission is to reclaim the world in the name of nature; eco-terrorists who will do anything to see civilization toppled and replaced by nature, regardless of how warped it might be.<br/><br/>The high priest of the order is Fang, zealous and fanatical in his endless hatred for all the markings of society. Many of those who feel a connection to nature, however tenuous, are taken in by Fang and indoctrinated into the order, following his every word and revering him as a living incarnation of nature.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Ebon Hand</span><br/><br/><em>Can't they see? Their selfishness damns everyone. They would take bread from the mouths of the hungry, refuse to piss upon one dying of thirst, and steal what little the poor have. They are to be despised, for they refuse to work their share, and support all of those who make the collective population. If they would just share a little, everyone could be equally happy. But instead they hoard their precious gold, their wealth, and refuse to help their fellow man. Sentient beings were created ugly by the Moulder. It is our lot in life, and right to sacrifice for those who have less than us. But those who refuse to share what they have, despite the fact that they have so much... they deserve nothing but contempt and death.</em><br/><br/>The religion of self-sacrifice, the Ebon Hand believes that there's enough wealth to go around, enough people who are willing to work, and that everyone could benefit if only these people shared what they have. The man who can work should work twice as hard to support those who cannot work for themselves, and only through sacrifice can a being rise above the ugly mould from which he was made. If people were willing to help each other, to give of what they had so that the populace as a whole could thrive, then everyone would be all-around far happier.<br/><br/>But there are those who refuse to share their wealth. They hate their fellow beings, reveling in what they have and refusing to share with those less fortunate than those. Shopkeepers, merchants, traders and the like are scum. If only they could see that there are others, less fortunate than themselves, suffering, they would truly understand how miserable sentient beings are and be willing to give of themselves. If only they would walk a mile in the shoes of a beggar they would understand that life isn't perfect. Or if they don't, then it's easy enough to remove their selfish selves from the realm and share the wealth by force amongst those who need it most.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Bearers of Pain</span><br/><br/><em>Life is pain. From the first breath of a babe and the scream of its mother as she gives birth to the death rattle of an old man as breathes his last breath, the world is filled with pain. Pain is life. Life is pain. Truly, there is nothing else as constant in this world as pain. It is always there by your side, and will always be there, a reminder that you live, until you die.</em><br/><br/>The world is a great mixing bowl, and each person is a rough gem. Pain makes you shine, until you shine strongly enough that you're taken out of the cycle. So say the Priests of Pain, as they're called. The poor, the destitute, the hungry, and others are drawn to this cult because it speaks to them--pain is with them every day, every moment. And the Priests promise a surcease of pain, promise that if you follow them and their word, you will be taken out of the cycle, and become nothing after the next time you die. The only option is to be reborn, and to experience the cycle of pain all over again.<br/><br/>Vile sadists of every stripe fill the ranks of the Priests of Pain, and at their head is Painbearer, a truly depraved individual who seeks to spread his word so that all the world might feel his pain. After all, the more hopeless the world becomes, the easier it is to recruit members and finally free all the sentient races from the pain of the world.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Monks of Hedonism</span><br/><br/><em>The fools. They move through the world thinking it to be the real one, where people are real and the streets beneath them are solid. They don't know the truth of the matter, and probably never will--that this world is a fake, created by someone, or something... It doesn't matter. Not in the slightest. But we, we have gained a greater understanding than they will ever realize, and see the truth for what it really is. If they only forsook their foolish desires they too would see the truth. But they won't. However, we will make them see, and liberate them. Indoctrination and brainwashing work well, but only death will liberate the most stubborn.</em><br/><br/>Primarily through drugs, and secondarily through meditation, the Monks of Hedonism believe that they've seen the truth. The world is an illusion, and nothing is real. Thus, the pain of others doesn't really matter--it's not really real. One can do whatever one wants, whenever one wants, and if others get hurt... well, they're not really real, are they? Often masquerading as simple peddlers of drugs, the Monks seek recruits amongst those who have little to expect in the future beyond the next thrill, and giving them and excuse to take whatever they want fills their ranks to great numbers. After all, the pain of this world isn't real, so it matters not if they die by the dozens for the Monk's pleasures.<br/><br/>The leader of the Monks is an obese man whose chins roll down his neck-less body in great curls of fat. Lurl Leadfoot is thought to be the man most in touch with the real truths by the Monks, and is venerated for his wisdom and guidance by the others. He often stays within opulent houses, others waiting hand-and-foot on his every desire and hanging onto his every word with zealotry and utmost devotion.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">The Purgers</span><br/><br/><em>The world is corrupt. From the inside-out, it's half-dead and continues to die around us. Just take a look around you. Nothing grows in the Wasteland, and who knows when the arcane corruption that seeps the land will be upon us, and destroy us all wholesale? There is nothing here--nothing! The world is corrupt. But there's a way to make it all better. Destroy everything, turn it inside out, rip apart and let entropy take its course. Only then will a new world be born--and we will be at the top for having brought it forth! The world is corrupt. Burn everything. Burn it all to the ground, and then burn the world as well.</em><br/><br/>The Purgers count amongst them the most cynical of people, those who have lost all hope in life and were willing to give up before the Purgers gave them a purpose. Now they lash out at the world, destroying things seemingly at random individually or working in small groups. Arson, destruction of property and murder count amongst some of their activities, and they believe that once everything has been destroyed that the world will be remade in their image, with them as kings in the afterlife to come.<br/><br/>The head of the Purgers is an elusive shifter named Wurl Burnface, who took his last name after voluntarily burning much of his own flesh; his obsession with fire is unquenchable, and with a single thought he can light whatever he wishes to on fire, burning people down to the bone in a matter of seconds, leaving only ash in his wake.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">Sisterhood of the Shield</span><br/><br/><em>Men. The scum of the earth. Dirt, filth, refuse--all those words are an understatement to how vile they are. They seek to defile all they touch, and all the worries of the world fall at their feet. They are the cause of all the pain, the suffering, and the hurt that we've been put through. But things are changing. We refuse to let them defile and rape and murder us with no consequence. Slowly we take back out lives.</em><br/><br/>The Sisterhood of the Shield knows where all the problems of the world lie, and aren't afraid to point it out. In the end, it all falls to men to take the blame--is there anyone as untrustworthy as a male? It is men who led the world to the state it's in at the moment. And so, the solution is simple; one must simply get rid of all the men. If with a single act one could castrate all the men who live, virtually all the problems of the world would be finished. A few men could live, chained and broken in deep, dark places where they might never know the light so that the race could continue, but it would be the women who would control the world, leading it back to a more correct course.<br/><br/>The leader of the Sisters is a human known as the Reverend Mother, fervent in her belief that men are the root of all evil and working to bring about the downfall of the male gender. Her lieutenant is Jahla, a young woman who was raped when she was barely into puberty, an occurrence that caused the magic inside her to bloom, granting her the power to turn the seed of those who defiled her against them, killing them as they satisfied themselves with her body.</div></div>"

There is achievement related to reading whole world's history which gives reward to player.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Recent overall history</span><br/>There was recently a bloody civil war in human kingdom of Aediina, which had lasted over a decade. It started 100 years ago when five brothers had feud over who shall heritage the throne of the kingdom and it led some brothers teaming up and some fighting alone for the throne. End result was bloody as all five brothers gathered followers and hired mercenaries and fought fierce battles and it torn once unified kingdom apart.<br/><br/>It led kingdom overall grow weak and it made other races invade the kingdom and overtake territories and even slain two of the brothers from surprise invasions and that sparked further war between surviving brothers who plotted backstab each other and invaders. Over century of fighting last two descendants of the original five brothers made peace to end their infighting and starting focus on welfare of their kingdom. Pushing invaders from most recent invaded territories but not succeed push them out completely.<br/><br/>Other races were not involved with the war besides some supplying, provide mercenaries and some not supporting the war anyway. All players start from the capital of Aediina, Goldhawk. A city which had remained untouched by the decade of war because it was considered holy city by humans and where grand capital of the Saints reside and where imperial throne remained unseated until 5 years ago a Empress Celene Griffin sat upon it. While grand marshal Amber Lionhard who was also rightful heir on throne take control over combined remains of their armies and started work on effort rebuild the empire back intact and respectable shape. Work has only started and there is lots of things needing done before empire can be secure. Below is briefly the five brothers and what occurred to them and their domains; Shatterpeak, Valley of Sword, Duskwood, Dragonspine and Dark Hill.<br/><br/>Balron Griffin (Empress Celene's great-great-great-grandfather), Griffin's personal domain is Shatterpeaks in East from Goldhawk. A around 100 miles to reach lower slopes. In there resides Griffin family hold; Grimstone Keep which kept family and their armies safe during the decade of war and there they held unrivaled strong defensive position. Griffin's family had close ties with local clan of dwarfs who then supplied their family with fine arms and armor.<br/><br/>Lucian Lionhard (grand marshal Amber Lionhard's great-great-great-grandfather), Lionhard's personal domain is located in Valley of Swords and personal city was Ironhammer (valley is 500 miles south from Goldhawk). The valley was most bloodiest battlefield during decade of warfare and Lucian was eldest of brothers and had belief had right for the throne which sparked whole argument decade ago. For that reason no one allied with Lucian and he fought alone with his armies. For Lionhard family to survive against other brothers speaks for family tradition in martial skill and tactics and facing opponents in open battlefield where terrain favored no one. But the long decade had waned out many sons and daughters of Lionhard and overall size once their imposing army had shrunk in size only to 1/10 what it once was, only big enough repel attackers who aimed to try take over their fortress city Ironhammer.<br/><br/>Martin Redsword, traditional domain of Redswords was Duskwoods which reside 100 miles south from Goldhawk. However, last descendant from the line, Lando Redsword, mysteriously vanished one night five years ago. Before then Redswords army had practiced rather well in skirmish warfare any enemies who dared enter the woods and often they made ambush attacks on armies which fought against each other to thin numbers on both sides. Since then Redswords loyal army had degraded into army of bandits and thugs who owe allegiance to no one and there is constant bounty for them by degree of Empress Celene.<br/><br/>Ronald Winterhowl, Winterhowl's traditional domain was four hundred miles from Goldhawk, in the snow peaked Dragonspine. But during the decade around 50 years ago Winterhowl lord kidnapped a barbarian maiden from one Dragonspine barbarian tribe to be his slave, it spurned survivors of said woman's tribe gather every member of their clan and also succeeding unite the loose human barbarian clans since ages and together they stormed Vinhelm, capital of Winterhowl. Siege lasted ten years and eventually city walls were crumbled and barbarians butchered every member of the Winterhowl clan....expect young girl which barbarian woman had birthed for her enslaver. The barbarians overtook Vinhelm city and enslaved the citizen as their servants, at first other brothers feared barbarians wrath to rest of empire but barbarians had no interest on such matters. Years later Winterhowl line was officially removed from emperor's throne of succession even if girl who carried Winterhowl family line founded own clan called White Wolf, which is alive and well. It's just that clan members do not give a damn about the throne. At presently empress Celene has tried negotiate with barbarians to return Vinhelm and it's domain back to empire but so far her requests have not been accepted and she is unhappy about the barbarians. Some even speculate she would attack barbarians once other invaders are done with.<br/><br/>Ramirez Darkwood, Darkwood's dominion was six hundred miles from Goldhawk and was once called Gold Hills. Holding a hostile western border line of their kingdom and resided also in border of elven kingdom. Thanks traditional dominion spot the Darkwood family had close association with forest fey and elves, together hold West border which guarded against Marsh of Black Despair. A marsh filled with monsters with variety sort which also held dens of worshipers of demonic gods and monstrous humanoids like lizardfolk. Their capital was called Drakehold and it was most technological advanced and also had advanced magic studies available in local academy. Also it was land filled forests, hills and farmlands and was largest of dominions. Not to mention Ramirez was youngest of all brothers and unlike them he was half-elf than human and so by empire's law he had no right to ascend the empire's throne. But none the less he teamed up with Redsword against Winterhowl and Griffin and also against Lionhard.<br/><br/>However, into 60 years into war Ramirez was old but still alive he did then something what broke up his alliance with the elves. Elves only calling it 'a act which cannot never forgiven'. The details were not discussed nor found outside elven communities what he did. However twenty years ago something catastrophic happened in Gold Hill as suddenly magical explosion occurred in Drakehold and covered whole Gold Hill into ever lasting dark gray mist....and from whiting it orcs and goblins came! It was first time these creatures was ever seen by humans and they came in swarms and hordes! Adding a new hostile faction which started raid without mercy all sides and spread like plaque. From mists started other monsters come....all way from Marsh of Dark Despair came monsters which were only once known to Gold Hill patrollers in western border and by elven patrols. Elves tried do their best keep monsters of marsh at bay, but they could not cover whole border without patrol men from Drakehold.<br/><br/>Drakehold itself has been only briefly investigated and elves have said the place had turned into necropoli; city of living dead. It's overall mystery what had happened in there and what had caused the city suddenly explode, create mist and monsters starting appear no where and there is no idea where orcs and goblinoids came from. So, over time Gold Hill was replaced by new suitable name; Dark Hill.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Religion&amp;Faith</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">The Saints (human)</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Humans have solid beliefs about nine saints which present nine ancient heroes (and anti-heroes) of distant human history who were mortals and ascended to divinity thanks their indomitable willpower and spirit while they were mortals and did epic deeds which shaped the world. Even if some Saints are not 'saints' in traditional sense, so this can be called more accurately as hero worship. But still folks refer them as Saints as common term as by one's view a monster can be savior/saint where in other's view he is monster and villain. Some Saints do not get even along, but none the less temple gives respect to each Saint as saints have one common shared goal; support and encourage flourish of human society one way or another and each one gives example of a virtue what admire them for. The saints (and virtues they are revered for) are; Heironeous (Lawful Good, Courage) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heironeous), Pelor (Neutral Good, Compassion) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelor), Sharess (Chaotic Good, Passion) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharess), Saint Cuthbert (Lawful Neutral, Wisdom) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Cuthbert_%28Dungeons_%26_Dragons%29), Istus (Neutral, Honesty) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istus), Olidammara (Chaotic Neutral, Wit) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olidammara), Hextor (Lawful Evil, Strength) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hextor), Scahrossar (Neutral Evil, Endurance) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scahrossar), Cyric (Chaotic Evil, Ambition) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyric)<br/><br/>Note; Some deities are from Forgotten Realms and others from Greyhawk. In the game world there is going to be lore will present cases where individuals ascended to godhood without interaction with each other. Besides Saints there can be other human backgrounded gods in the setting though. Also overall doghma is twisted bit present some virtuous aspect of humanity (as mentioned briefly above in each case).

It normally shows only when you group up with people.<br/><br/>You can party up with max 25 people at the time. Any gold and XP is split evenly among all members of the group.<br/><br/>You can speak both publicly or privately in group or whisper to other players but all these work only in close range. Of course players with high perception can hear whispers if their skill is good enough. There is no written chat function in the game but you can send mail to other players through mail boxes which are near the inns.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Player housing</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Players cannot sleep on streets in the city. Patrolmen always interrupt any such attempts (but there can be spots where patrolmen do not check out). You can sleep in outdoors via camping. In city you need own a house or rent a room in a inn. Inns have large amounts rooms available but it's limited. That's why there are more than one tavern or inns in the city allow many players as sensibly possible to house them. Price of inn room or buying a house depends on locale and quality.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">PvP&amp;Crime</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Crime tags and their definition</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">There are two levels of crime tags and they meaning and consequence are explained below. When player performs crime they are tagged based on seriousness of the crime.<br/><strong>Yellow tag</strong>: Player's who are yellow tagged start faintly glow in yellow color and their name is also branded yellow. This tag fades away in a 1 day since crime was done. But it is renewed each time crime is committed. There is bounty on player's head which is worth of 100gp x crime committed. Players who defeat player and bring to patrolmen get bounty shared between them. The bounty does not reset even if tag fades (but bounties can be only collected from players who are tagged). City patrols are lookout for the player but are not aggressively hunting him. Any patrols in cities will try capture the player and place him on prison. All stolen items are returned to original owners but thief keeps his own property. Yellow tagged players can be attacked in the city but they do not die even if rendered unconscious by lethal attack.<br/><strong>Red tag</strong>: Player who are red tagged function several ways same as yellow tagged players but these are the differences; red tag fades after 10 days, player can be killed in the cities and his items, including personal property, can be looted by players who participated in the kill. Bounty is raised to 1000gp x all crimes committed (not just red tag earning ones). City patrols will keep eye out and also search city and near area around city for the criminal aggressively.<br/><strong>Prison Time</strong>: Time in prison is 100x times the time it takes tag to fade away. So yellow tag players stay in prison 100 days. Where as red tagged players stay 1,000 days. In prison you cannot earn XP nor money. Their personal property is returned upon release (in case of red tagged players they may get only basic clothes and knife if they were completely looted by players who captured him).<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Duels</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Normal duels end when opponent reaches to 1 HP and duels can be announced anywhere in the game world. You can however turn safety option from your menu screen for duels and so you can die in duels. Player who defeated other player in duel does not get crime tagged for defeating you and gains a one time XP and occasional item reward from defeating it's opponent. XP reward and item reward depends how much level difference there was between combatants and how well both combatants performed. A opponent who stands still and does nothing gives no XP nor rewards. A opponent who defeats lower level player gets less reward than defeating foe of equal or higher level.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Ambush&amp;NPC murder bug</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Players cannot fight or kill other players in towns or cities. But they can do so in open world areas and these attacks are classified as ambushes. It gives XP and item rewards as if in duels. But in addition defeated players bags can be looted and only personal items are kept. Players who kill other players get red tagged for their crime. Merely harming them or knocking out only gives yellow tag.<br/><br/>Note; harming NPC gives yellow tag. But killing NPC gives no tags as death of NPC erases the experience of any crimes done in their presence from their memory. If there are no witnesses the player is not tagged. This is known issue and bug in the system which is waiting on a fix. If NPC or PC finds corpse of NPC, the crime is reported and responsible player is tagged with red tag.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Theft</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Theft can be practiced in both in cities/towns or in open world areas. Players caught with theft from PC or NPC are yellow tagged. If not caught they get no tags. Only bag or shop window inventory can be stolen (and money).<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Break and Entry</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Player houses or inn rooms which are occupied other than intruder are called Break and Entry crimes. If caught from entering rooms without permission of the owner, player becomes yellow tagged for their crimes. You can steal items from rooms tables, chests or closets or even clothes/armor laying around. All inn and player housing have good locks but are not immune to magic or skilled lock pick if further effort is not done by players.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Arson</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Players can destroy NPC and PC buildings given materials or spells involved. Destroying a NPC building is yellow tagged crime while as PC is red tagged crime. If there are casualties like NPC or PC deaths, it gives red tag despite which building was destroyed.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Rapes&amp;Sexual Activity</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Players cannot rape NPC's nor players. NPC's are not programmed interact in such situations and any lewd acts would either result no response from NPC's (including hand going through them and all nudity is censored). Same applies to players. However there is feature called Moral Code. It's by default on and cannot be turned off by players who are under age of consent (which is 17 in the game). Those who meet age of consent can turn off their moral code and can so willingly participate in erotic actions in the game and all nudity would be then uncensored. Also there are NPC prostitutes in some towns and cities who can offer their virtual sex services for those who meet age of consent and are able pay for them.<br/><br/>Note; some quests and missions get additional options based on is moral code active or not in given player(s).<br/></div></div></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Marriage</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Players can marry in the game through ceremony and announcement which cost varies how elaborated ceremony couple wants. Once marriage is done, the couple shares their bank and house space and both are counted as owners. Upon permanent delete of the account, all property of the spouse is transferred to the other person. There is no need of age of consent between the spouses (but marriage does not allow turn off moral code until both parties are age of consent). Marriage to NPC's are not possible.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Player's Death</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">When player dies, he/she haves 1 minute to talk with folks around her before their bodies discorporate and are respawn on nearest temple.

Slowly, as though almost not believing what was happening, she opened her eyes. Yes, she was home. It was almost exactly like she remembered it, the scent of the city in her nose, alive with the fragrances of hawked wares, the sight of multicolored scarves that adorned some of the walkways, the sound of bustling feet and cries of the merchants competing for the attention of the newly-joined players. And even she was changed. No more was she Eli, cooped up in a tiny apartment. No, here she was Ren, and she was ready to take on the world.<br/><br/>She felt the guisarme on her back, the shield propped on one side and a longsword nestled in a sheathe at her flank where her belt looped around her modest hips. She flexed a hand, locked within the steel prison of her gauntlet and was glad of the weight that accompanied it. The chainmail skirt with which she had entered the game was another reminder that there was so much out there in the world, and she was determined to find something a little less form-fitting and a little more oriented to protection when she garned the money and had the chance to do so.<br/><br/>Raising her head, Ren began to look around, examining the other players who had joined the game. Most looked confused and disoriented, the Nerve Gear system requiring some time to get used to, but here and there she thought she saw others who were settling back into the swing of things now that they were once more within the game.<br/><br/>During the beta test she had rarely partied with others, and hadn't met many people who she could now call ""friends""--more acquaintances, really, but she had made more than her fair share of enemies. She resolved to be careful, and to get through the tutorial quickly and reach a point where she was powerful enough to force her will on the miscreants foolish enough to test her, or bring chaos and instability to the world. She began to move quickly towards where she remembered the first quest-giver to be, a baker if she remembered right. The first quest was supposed to be a homage to a game she had never played and had barely heard anything about, but if it amused the designers to add it in... then why not, she supposed."

Ren soon finds a cute teenage aged brunette with apron and simple dress looking distressed in front of small bakery shop. Looking into crowd where NPC's moved in their programmed live routines and PC's running around and experiencing the game. So far Ren appears to be first to take this quest. Naturally quest resets immediately once she completes it but all these quests can be only done once. But to avoid annoying players the NPC will become phased; meaning she will disappear from front of the shop and returns to counter to players who have completed the quest. While those who haven't completed it, will see her asking for help. Some locations even would be phased but it would be harder to notice them.<br/><br/>When Ren approaches the baker she starts speaking; ""Can you help me miss? There are huge disgusting rats in my cellar! Can you go kill and...ugh, remove the bodies from there before they taint all my flour? I<em>hate</em>rats!"" The baker shivers in clear disgust but also her expression shows fear regarding the disgusting critters. Sounds easy, but Ren knows experience the rats are not anyway small....rather size of cats or small dogs and vicious lot but not overly dangerous. Originally there was full group of six of them but it killed many players, so patch notes the group was split into two three groups."

They weren't real people who had to be protected from themselves, from the trappings of civil disobedience. They had no emotions, no will, nothing but a pre-programmed script that they followed without fail, never late and never deterring from their stated mission. On that hand they were perfect. On the other, they didn't have the<em>will</em>to do anything else, which made Ren feel uncomfortable. Were they to be praised for their diligence and obedience when they had no other choice...? It was a thought that worried at the core of her being, and she quickly pushed it aside. She glanced around at the other players milling around, wondering how many knew that this was the starter quest. Well, no matter, either they would get a chance to do it, or continue to one of the other quests in the area.<br/><br/>She nodded slowly to the baker, murmuring, ""It shall be done,"" and pulled up her in-game menu, scrolling down to her equipment section. If she remembered right... Yes. She chose her guisarme from the equipment list, and set it as her primary equipped weapon, and set her sword and shield as her secondary ones. She shouldn't have too much trouble, but... one could never be too careful. She marveled once more at the familiar weight of the weapon, and wished for her own guisarme that she had won from a monster deep in one of the many dungeons in the game from the beta. No use wishing though, she would once more be able to attain it once she had progressed further into the game. Slowly pushing in the door to the bakery she moved towards the cellar door before letting herself inside cellar, feeling the small tingle of an instanced area that only she could access as long as no one else was in her party.<br/><br/>Remembering where the rats came from, she hefts the weapon and takes a step deeper into the cellar, weapon readied to chop the first one down.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Ren</strong><br/>18 AC, +5 Fortitude, +2 Reflex, +0 Will<br/>14/14 HP<br/><br/><strong>Surprise Round</strong><br/><br/>Map (http://oi40.tinypic.com/nqr8g9.jpg)<br/><br/>Ren watches as the rats appear as she enters the area that triggers them.

He washed, disinfected, and set every piece carefully down. He ordered the play area, set all objects outside of it so they couldn't be disturbed in case his body maintained some motor control during the game, and set an alarm so that he'd remember to stop playing, hoping it would wake him in just a few hours. Or at least provide an audible buzzing that would make him aware he needed to stop playing so he could sleep before work. Games were fun, and this would help him relax as well as allow for socialization in a personal fashion without all that icky touching people seemed to be so fond of. Shaking hands, touching shoulders, always with the touching. He preferred  it here, where touching was a digital impression upon his psyche and not a germ infested spreading of disease and chemical to the infection of his person through subversion. Hormones, pheromones, and all the other ways people insinuate themselves into your life and mind.<br/><br/>He slipped into the chair he had prepared, and after washing his hands once more he slipped the helmet on. Turning it on, he felt no change for a time as it calibrated and prepared, then it happened. He stopped hearing the whoosh of his air conditioner, filter changed monthly, nor did he hear the hum of his lights or all the assorted electronic devices in his home. He heard loading music, sounds of the game, and when he opened his eyes he saw... a city. It was interesting. He began walking about, and given that his knee didn't cause him immense pain he imagined that he must not be walking in real life. He wandered, looking up roads and down alleys to check how realistic they were. It was a very clean city, he liked that and at the same time found it extremely unrealistic. How did a city have no filth? He didn't like it any more than he would have in the real world, but a city was supposed to have some sort of uncleanliness. This was just unrealistic. As he walked the streets he found a baker in need of some rats exterminated. Rats.... if anything needed destruction it was rats. Diseased vermin, spreading their filth. In this sort of setting it could be the bubonic plague, and much though he didn't want the fever, he couldn't die here after all. He wondered how realistic the death would be, would he actually feel his life slipping away, or would he feel fine until his body ceased to move and it sent him to a respawn point.<strong>""Your offer is acceptable.""</strong>He waited near the baker, until he saw the demonic individual looking down into the cellar.<strong>""You, you are also pursuing this quest?

He didn't know if feeling as though he had a tail would be a pleasant or disturbing sensation. Watching hers move though, he also considered whether or not it was an algorithm or actually triggered by something in the mind of the player. After all, humans didn't have tails."

She looked around in confusion before the reason that they had all been teleported became apparent. She half-listened to the GM, noting the story without any real attachment to the words. A small downward turn changed her mouth slightly at the mention of the GM's death, but apart from that she showed little response until their predicament was explained.<br/><br/>A shard of cold seemed to pierce her heart, and a heavy gloom of despair lowered her shoulders. They were... trapped here? With no way out? But what about all the things that these people had, all their responsibilities, all the great and small duties they had to perform? While it was the right of the strong to shepherd the weak and keep them from harm's way, denying them their freedom to ensure that they remained safe as was necessary, this seemed a complete and total abuse of authority. This was not right, not the way. There was no benefit for the people here from these new rules. Only loss of livelihood and their ""real"" lives.<br/><br/>The coldness in her heart grew deeper and she felt herself become rigid as she understood the full implications of what death meant here in this world. She would die... forever? No, that couldn't be true, could it? Distress welled up within her, and the hands that held her guisarme tightened into fists, hands white beneath the gauntlets she wore. Her breath came hot and quick as she tried to wrestle with what it all meant. No longer was there a margin for error allowed. Now every fight could mean death with no respawn, no coming back to life as she had done time and again during the beta.<br/><br/>At the cries of the crowd she was woken from her reverie and looked up. Since her class wasn't shown on the display of other players no one came to her to beg for help, and she pushed down tears of helplessness. There were so many here who wanted, needed her help. And she could not help even a fraction of them as she was. Resolve began to replace the helplessness. No, this would not stand. If needed she would join a party herself and venture forth to do battle. She began to look around. They would need to hurry, to reach the more advanced monsters and level quickly lest they all be gone.<br/><br/>A boisterous voice called out among the crowd, and she saw the same people that had entered the cellar soon after she had left. One scantily clad woman was shouting declared her intent. Either the woman had will or did not realize precisely what was meant by the GM's decree. Probably a lot of both. They weren't too far away and she began to make her way towards them. The party she teamed up with would need all that will and energy in order to survive the coming battles. She just hoped that it would last.<br/><br/>As she moved closer, she saw the flash of steel heard the deadly words of threat that came from the mouth of one of the humans in the party. Threatening someone helpless and fearful, unable to stand on their own? Right. This is what she had come for. Even if the whole world was arrayed against her the least she could do was to try to keep those who couldn't save themselves safe.<br/><br/>Jonas felt the cold steel of Ren's guisarme against his shoulder, the hook pulling at his clothing, making it substantially harder for him to move freely and attack the half-orc before him if he chose to do so. ""There is no honor or rightness in threatening those who do not have the spine to stand on their own,"" she said forgetting the inability to die in towns, eyes smoldering and voice low. ""Lower your weapon, or you'd best be prepared to face the consequences,"" she said, her eyes now hard. A breath passes for a moment, but once the half-orc scurries away from the man she releases the pent up breath and raises her guisarme, holding it like a staff to one side. ""My name is Ren. And if your words were not idle boasts and you truly mean to complete the game then I will join you.""<br/><br/>""The local spawn points will soon be farmed out and we won't be able to access them. We should either go there quickly, or move on to the more advanced spawns; with this many people we should be fine,"" she adds, looking at the varied people in the party. Her gaze rests for a moment on Jonas, but quickly moves on. ""Regardless, we should move as quickly as possible,"" she looks across the crowd still milling, ""before people realize what's going on and take the monsters there themselves."" Her eyes once more harden as she looks back at the party. ""And if you require protection,"" she hefts her guisarme once more, ""I will provide it."""

They had attacked and butchered down his sheep (the ones which did not succeed run and escape in time). The dogs were feasting on remains of the feast with disgusting gusto. The stench of the dogs was clear; husky and thick. Thanks their focus on carcasses they ignored the party, only glare occasion and give warning growl but they were alert of their presence.<br/><br/>Map: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2e0mfzp&s=5 (http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2e0mfzp&s=5)<br/>OOC: Initiative rolls everyone! Doggies rolled 12 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=49090) on initiative. Meaning the person who runs into 10'ft from them (having 5'ft square between the dog and itself), will draw aggro of the dog and dogs respond to threat based on dmg or other threat control abilities (like Iron Guard's Glare). Now the person who has higher Ini can run to the threat range and run away without scratch (but the dog may charge and try bite him/her). But those who have lower Ini get first attacked the dog before they get chance to run away and top of that provoke AoO from the dog from leaving threatened square (acrobatics check can help negate this AoO).<br/><br/>Now, if you kill dogs one by one you get only 50% of XP because vast CR difference between the dog and your party. With party of six 1st level chars is a 3.5 (rounded up to 4 because superior numbers) CR encounter. So if your party has +2 greater CR than actual threat presented, you get 50% XP reward split to six members (so each dog is worth 200 XP split to six when hitting them one by one).<br/><br/>So, to get full XP you need stack 3 dogs at least to get full XP reward (1,200 XP split to six). Betatesters are aware how the XP works and how it is split.<br/><br/>In full risk take you could aggro all individually one dog (and someone goes aggro 7th, like eidolon) and take all 7 dogs as single encounter and so you face a CR 4 encounter and so have higher chance for rarer loot as encounter is equal to your party's CR (base chance is 25% + 10% per CR difference to party, if under CR of the party then chance is only 5%). But also it's possible chain encounters so that someone pulls one dog, someone goes aggro couple dogs and brings them over while you fight first one. If first dog is not dead by time new dogs Ini starts while starting engage you, then the encounter counts the new dogs added up for the CR for XP counting wise. If the first dog is dead before other dogs Ini is reached, then you get counted having two different encounters instead one encounter.<br/><br/>So, maneuver to go aggro dogs while fighting them one vs party is damn tricky to pull as the aggro person needs 'tank' dogs one round near you guys.<br/><br/>I hope the XP and aggro&threat mechanics are clear so you can plan actions better :P."

You always put a little bit of yourself into your character, regardless of what you looked like or how you ended up in game. She wasn't sure of her own reasons entirely, but was instead more interested in his. Did he disdain arms and armor to be self-sufficient? Had he wanted to be fast and agile, debilitating enemies with his sudden strikes? She remembered fighting a monk once in the beta, and his stunning fist had caused a reverberation deep inside her that had made her want to throw up and unable to connect her mind to her limbs. Or perhaps he wanted to subdue his enemies by pinning them and stopping their movements...<br/><br/>Still, she didn't ask that question yet, instead focusing on small-talk and listening to his voice. In fact, he might not even be a monk, for all she knew, but one of the spellcasting classes that needed no armor, their magics more than making up for their lack of skill in arms.

A passing emotion welled up within her, the wish to ask him if he wanted to join them, but the emotion also arose a sense of fear that she didn't completely understand. And the talk of joining a guild... that brought on more mixed emotions, along with the stings of the past from joining guilds and then being kicked out. They had said, ""It's just not working out,"" and the like, but the sense of rejection still hurt despite the words meant to soften the blow, accomplishing just the opposite. They couldn't be straight with her, and tell her the truth? The hurt mixed with anger as she contemplated these things, laying in bed for moments more upon awakening.<br/><br/>Having been one of the first to go to bed, she was also one of the first to rise, descending the stairs to reach the inn common room with almost nary a soul there. She ate quietly, alone if no one approaches her, waiting for the others to ready themselves. She wondered if she would see Rando again, and what words would pass between them, though she was leery of that meeting. On the other hand, how long would it take for the other party members to join her? A foot tapped steadily as she waited after finishing the breakfast, its taste passing her lips with barely a thought.<br/><br/>She noted as one came down and ate breakfast at another table, barely seeming to notice her. The spellcaster tiefling... what was her name...? Ah, yes, a moment and it came to her; Tigara. She blinked once, twice in surprise as she noticed the clothes the tiefling wore--or rather, lack of them. She guessed well enough what may have happened upstairs, and a sense of mixed disgust and need filled her. She quickly tried to stamp down the emotions, forcing them down, bottling them up. They didn't help her free herself from this place. The tiefling soon left, though whether she was ignored or simply unnoticed was up in the air. Still Ren disapprovingly stared at the wizard as she left. Leaving without one's clothes? Now that was just asking for trouble. Still, as long as she returned and was ready to move on, it was no business of Ren's... for now. She continued to wait impatiently for the others to descend for breakfast."

Largely as father dearest groomed him for the military and raised him on stories of what great things he would do. Right on schedule Adam finished school at 17 and signed up for the Irish Army where for a short period he served in the 1st Cavalry Squadron. Adam knew the Cavalry Corps wasn't for him, he knew what his target was and went for it at his first chance, the Sciathán Fiannóglach an Airm, the Special Forces branch of the IDF.<br/><br/>As a Ranger of the IDF Adam served in several UN Peacekeeping missions, his superiors considered him to be their best man but noted his contempt for many around him during deployment. He was 'heavy-handed' to say the least and that was towards<em>civilians</em>, nevermind local rebels or insurgents. Adam's first exposure to a 'Superhero' was during the Second Liberian Civil War where the Rangers were deployed as part of a peace-keeping contingent. The Armed Forces dedicated to the mission were already gathered when Captain Liberia arrived, he was all smiles and handshakes when he arrived and Adam disliked him immediately. Adam and everyone around him and spent years developing their skillset and preparing themselves for the job, but some pricked walked into some Superpowers and suddenly everyone was bending over backwards to be his pal and pin a medal to his chest. It had already been noted that Adam had a disliking for the Liberian Hero that was aiding the Liberian Armed Forces, rumours were it was not only because Adam disliked 'non-traditional' security but because the hero was a Muslim. During a mission where the Anti-Terrorist Unit were acting on intelligence indicating rebels had civilian hostages Adam saw the hero give several rebels the chance to escape along with one of their wounded. The hero noticed Adam watched and what came next was only a matter of time between the two. Initially Adam could do little against the Liberian equivalent of Captain America with Superspeed. What the hero didn't know was that Adam had been watching his tactics from day one and during the conflict Adam got a moment's respite and managed to hide, after placing one of his boots in a spot where it would be spotted. The hero sped in to spring on Adam when he spotted the boot emerging from behind a wall. The hero came around the corner to find only an empty boot before Adam dropped down from a vantage point, stabbed him in the back and slit his throat.<br/><br/>Despite Captain Liberia's assistance of the rebels, Adam knew very well Liberia would want someone's head for the death of a national hero. Adam went AWOL and his location was unknown for several years. Supposedly unknown at least. S.H.I.E.L.D. paid close attention to a confirmed Hero Killer on the loose, but they were content to sit back and allow him occupy himself on a one man crusade against any and every terrorist group he could find across Africa. In 2007 he was offered a full-pardon if he would join SHIELD and put his skills to good use.

She enjoyed physical sports including rugby and wrestling, but found little opportunity past high school for those hobbies. Academically she was a below average student more due to lack of interest though she did fine in Shop and PE classes. Her parents also tried to distract her by getting her into a young pilots program. At the age of fourteen, she was suspended from high school and kicked out of the pilots school for making napalm in a friends garage with amateurish plans for converting a crop duster into a ""napalm bomber.""<br/><br/>She returned to school within a few weeks after the explanation it was an 'exaggeration' and because her athletic skills brought acclaim to the school publicly as a fine female athlete. She went to another pilots school. During a school trip to Mexico, she discovered an entrepreneurial spirit and started selling steroids and marijuana throughout High School. At the age of 17, after conveniently helping her school win a wrestling state championship, she was expelled and sent to juvenile hall for drug dealing.<br/><br/>In Juvenile Hall, instead of being reformed, she picked up more criminal skills and at the age of 18, was released, earned a GED and got a job as a garage fixing up cars. To earn money on the side for college, she went back to drug dealing until local gangs decided to squash her individual efforts. It was then she went into robbing other drug dealers and pimps of their money and found out she was really good at it. Sometimes she'd sneak in like a burglar, other times, she threw smoke bombs or firebombs into residences and while everyone panicked, stole what she could. She committed her first murder during one of these bombing runs, stabbing a pimp to death with a syringe after he pulled off her skimask. It was then she discovered something else about herself, the ability to engage in violent activities against people she didn't care much about and how easy she could go about doing it.<br/><br/>Upon receiving her private pilots license legitimately, she was asked by her former suppliers to smuggle drugs into the country via small planes. It was lucrative and she did fine work. Sadly (for her) during one of these runs, she was caught up in a Mexican Army raid on one of her supplier landing strips and was detained. The Mexicans, not knowing her identity besides obviously being an American, were going to fly her and her cohorts to Mexico City. Chained to the seat, she unscrewed the chair itself with her feet, extricated herself from the loose chair, strangled a guard to death, shot out a window, grabbed a parachute, riddled the cockpit with bullets (possibly not in that order as she was the only survivor) and let the plane crash as she leaped off, letting her accomplices (whom she never liked anyways) die and thus eliminating her trail.<br/><br/>She came into federal custody when she attempted a robbery of a federal depository, avoiding most of the sensors by using a van, a pillow and a sledgehammer to pound through a brickwall facing an alley during the night and stealing several hundred thousand dollars worth of government bearer bonds amongst smaller amounts of other cash. Unfortunately, the it turned out the bearer bonds were fake, created by the US government for use in a completely separate sting operation and when she tried to flip them in a foreign country, she soon found herself enjoying a vacation in a third world prison. It took her about a week to scope the place out and escape before US authorities could collect her. Before she could engage in her next plot of criminal activity however she was approached by local authorities who wanted a specialist to review various security measures as an independent contractor due to her varied experience.<br/><br/>Working for banana republics in semi-reputable circumstances worked out for a while and she gained enough of a reputation that her alleged criminality was looked over and she was approached for a job with SHIELD as an extraction specialist primarily, but for other field operation oriented tasks as well. In exchange for her initially being on a short leash for her probationary period as an agent, pending charges against her, none of which had reached trial by that time, were dropped and her criminal record expunged.

Life was a constant struggle, but she was more blessed than some, being lucky enough to have devoted parents and a seemingly inherent ability to excel at almost anything that she tried. While many kids had to work full time to help their families, Elira's parents only allowed her to work on weekends and insisted that she get an education.<br/><br/>Elira did very well in school, her competitive nature driving her to always aim to be the best. She didn't just have the highest grades, she also dominated everybody else in PE class, even the boys. It was those academic and athletic results that would end up shaping the rest of her life, though certainly not in the way that she or her parents had expected or hoped for.<br/><br/>Unbeknownst to the student, the schools actually served as a prime hunting ground for State Intelligence Service (also known as SHISH) recruiters who would go after anybody that met their criteria, and Elira happened to have everything needed to make a good agent. Brains, athleticism, looks, she was everything that a recruiter could have asked for. She didn't require much convincing after they told her what the base salary was for those who completed the basic training. It was easily more than anyone in her ghetto could ever hope to make (legally, anyways), and enough to move her parents into a different city. A<em>real</em>city with clean streets and above average living conditions.<br/><br/>As she'd done at school, it wasn't too long before Elira became one of SHISH's top agents if not<em>the</em>very best, which also put her on other agencies' radars. After a coup that overthrew the government, however, the SHISH was dismantled and its agents hunted down by those who took power since the new leaders believed them to be too dangerous and didn't trust them, instead wanting to create their own secret service.<br/><br/>Elira was compromised in the very middle of an undercover operation, leading to a very bloody turn of events, and ultimately her capture. Not by the Albanians but by the Americans who'd apparently also been surveying the terrorist cell which she'd infiltrated. The gunshots, explosions and nearly two dozen bodies didn't go unnoticed, and they had quite a few questions to ask her. She spent one day in the infirmary under heavy guard before being blindfolded, loaded on to a helicopter and then a plane and flown over to SHIELD headquarters.<br/><br/>She was out of her old job, and they always had need for individuals with her particular skill set, so she happily accepted their offer to join them.<br/><br/><strong>High Concept:</strong>Albanian Superspy<br/><strong>Trouble:</strong>Wanted by the new Albanian secret service as well as several Albanian terrorist groups and crime syndicates.

Darguun gang had suddenly started lay low uncharacteristically and collecting resources and forces for something. Also one their agents contacts last dying message in Lower Dura was something about happening in Gala itself. So Deneith increases security around Sharn key locations but they cannot approach Gala itself...so they hire us do so as we already are guests of honor it's easy for us to get in.<br/><br/>However, problem is that no weapons nor offensive magic items like staff or wands are allowed to the Gala, not to mention if we go dressed in armor it would draw attention.

It's true you could smuggle our goods in your bag but if the security asks you open your bag, then we would be trouble if they confiscate all weapons and armor from there. Although idea that you would sneak in directly, as you can pass through walls after all and be invisible otherwise, would have merit and allow smuggle our gear in.

But probably not enough mercenaries cover a outright Darguun raid of monsters.""<br/><br/>Vandros looks on Demvarien and nods and replies; ""Sounds good to me, but expect that if they decide body search you thoroughly, they may find the armor you wear under your robes. As said, armor does not raise more than mere suspicion but outright weapons would be frowned upon. Prepare spells which helps control the battlefield or control enemies without harming or destroying anything. But few single target spells should be okay. Also no doubt among guests there are some people capable for magic but I would not depend on it to tip the scales, as attackers no doubt expect some magic from the crowd besides from mercenary guards.<br/><br/>I speculate that considering this is big event and security should be decent, the attackers must be very powerful and professional able to do what they want during the Gala and able control so many people at once. Darguun raiders may be powerful but subtlety usually is not their strong game, but not impossible as all goblinoids are naturally talented in stealth so there may be experts among Darguun host capable pulling it off. I would prefer have more time to even think and counter prevent them reaching the Gala sight but we are limited in that regard and no doubt Deneith has tried block all aerial entrances to Gala itself. So we are insurance for case scenario if goblinoids pull something very clever."""

But perhaps considering that warlock can only use his spell-alike abilities in light armor is because he adds some words and gestures (where normal spell-alike abilities invoke no gestures nor words at all), so a arcane swordsage performs some physical movement to invoke a spell as part of martial prowess (and so looses armor proficiency as it hinders his casting).<br/><br/>Anyways, going stick with that arcane swordsage spells are spell-alike abilities and suffers from spellcasting failure if swordsage wears armor (without feat uses or such).<br/><br/>Also as my own ruling (as this variant's rulings are bad), any spell which has 1 hour/CL or 1 day/CL duration can be taken (with GM's permission) as a stance. Example mage armor would make sense as a 1st level stance (while shield is not as it is 1 min/CL duration spell)."

The pro-independence planets are becoming restless, clamoring for a more local administration and less interference from the central government. Nominally, everyone is still part of the Alliance, though, and aside from some small militia skirmishes, the Verse is still at peace.<br/><br/>The Reavers are not yet the boogeymen they will become, but there are rumors of missing ships and devastated colonies. So far, all they do is pour oil into the flames of separatism as the Independents and the Alliance blame each other’s militias for the atrocities.<br/><br/>And a firefly class transport can be a shiny new ship.<br/><br/><br/>Content-wise, please be aware that there probably will be sex in the play, including some non-consent and BDSMy sex. It will<em>not</em>happen to your character against your will but it might happen in the general play. I’m not going to list acceptable and non-acceptable practices in detail. Let’s just say that you should be comfortable with witnessing ‘mainstream’ BDSM stuff. And if you like, you are welcome to participate.<br/><br/>Also, if there is any grief, please remember that most problems can be fixed by talking about them. I have an open ear for any player and I’m not above reprimanding another player who is overstepping his or her bounds. If there is a misunderstanding, it usually can be fixed with a simple private message or two.<br/><br/><br/>The play will be broken down into Firefly’s characteristic ‘missions’, with idle ‘flight time’ between. Expect more action and even dice-rolling while you are in port and freeform recreational play while in space.<br/><br/>Also, it should be no problem for a player to excuse him or herself at the end of a ‘mission’ or when arriving in port. They can just go off board or quietly assume their maintenance duties on board. Then, when you have time for roleplay again, your character can be reactivated as soon as the ship reaches the next port.<br/><br/>However, please don’t just drop out in the middle of the action. Stick around a bit and then make a graceful exit. This is a small community. People will remember you much fonder if you found a plausible in-story reason to quietly fade into the background.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Because there will be a significant amount of conflict involved I was thinking of using a simple system to help us resolve combat and other conflicts. </strong><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">A system for Firefly.</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">I will be using a system for this roleplay, but it won’t bother the players too much because it will take place ‘behind the scenes’. I will be using parts of Urbanzorro’s systemic freeform, but there will be a World of Darkness (Vampire, Mage, Werewolf) variant under the hood. If you are unused to system games, do not worry. I will help you with character creation and it will not bother you much afterwards.<br/><br/>Systemic Freeform<br/>Here's a breakdown of what I like to call my Systemic Freeform system. Which is a system I created for the purpose of finding a balance between freeform and system games. Within a systemic freeform game the only interaction the game's players will be required to have with the game’s system is during character creation. All other elements of the system such as determining the results of combat,  determining random events, etc will be handled behind the scenes by the GM and any assistant GMs. This approach gives the game the illusion/feel of being a freeform game for the players while offering the GM(s) the structure and decision making support of a system game. In short it is meant to be a compromise between free form and system games. Ideally taking the advantages of each option with few or none of their disadvantages. <br/><br/>Posts<br/>In order for the system to work posts which interact with the system (such as combat, or attempts to pick locks/sneak up on someone or otherwise perform an action with uncertain outcome) must be posted in a way to still allow the GM(s) to maintain control of events. This means the player’s posts should illustrate their character’s actions and the intent of their actions but not the results. For instance “My character shoots at the enemy and hits them in the head” does not work. Whereas “My character shoots at the enemy, and aims for their head” does. The GM will do the necessary rolls and then reveal the outcome of the action in his reply. This has several advantages. I can narrate events in a cinematic way instead of just giving you stats and numbers. And I can ‘condense’ the action. Combat or other complex actions like flying can go for many turns and this would slow down the roleplay to a crawl. By doing all the ‘background administration’ myself, I can do several turns at once and only stop and post once a significant event has occurred. <br/><br/>The system will be a world of darkness variant. If you are unfamiliar with it, the idea is that you get a number of dice (sometimes called a dice ‘pool’) for any given task depending on a relevant attribute combined with a skill. For example, to hit an enemy in combat, you would roll a number of dice equal to your dexterity attribute plus a number of dice equal to your melee skill. Normally, every die has a 50% success chance and you count the number of successes to determine how well you performed. Zero successes is a failure, 2 are a job well done and 5 are fantastic. Attributes can be 1-5 and Skills can be 0-5, so normally you will have anywhere between 1 and 10 dice at your disposal with an average of half that many successes. <br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Character creation.</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/>Think of a character concept. It is important that your character has a <em>motivation</em> to be part of the story. If the logical thing for your character would be to leave the ship in the next port, then he probably shouldn’t be on it in the first place. Of course not everyone has to be on board by choice. Maybe you are on the run, or you are indentured. But either way, there is a <em>compelling</em> reason for you to stay, so that’s fine. What I don’t want are characters who have to be forced into the story. Everyone should have a good reason and a motivation to be on the ship.<br/><br/>We would like to know some things about your character: Your sex, your age and your motivation for being on the ship are the most important ones. Then let us know some more details. Are you in favor of planet’s rights or do you believe in a strong alliance? What’s your stance on slavery? Do you have a family or other ties somewhere? <br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Attributes</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Attributes are usually rolled together with a skill, though sometimes they are used alone. In that case, the value of the attribute is doubled before rolling to give a similar number of dice compared to when a skill+attribute is used.<br/><br/>The attributes are:<br/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength</td><td>Presence</td><td>Knowledge</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity</td><td>Manipulation</td><td>Wits</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina</td><td>Composure</td><td>Perception</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><br/>Strength<br/>Brute force. Determines how much you can carry and how much damage you deal in close combat. Is rolled for feats of brute strength like breaking down doors. <br/><br/>Dexterity<br/>Agility, speed and precision. Determines how fast you can run. Is rolled for all attacks and for feats of athletics and stealth.<br/><br/>Stamina<br/>Toughness and endurance. Protects from damage. Is rolled to resist harsh environment and the like.<br/><br/>Presence<br/>Appearance, flair, tone of voice and general flashiness. Determines how people react to you. Is rolled for seduction, acting and leadership.<br/><br/>Manipulation<br/>Subterfuge, intrigue and general social manipulation. Is rolled for bartering, lying and sweet talk.  <br/><br/>Composure<br/>Common sense, loyalty and willpower. Used to resist flattery, bribes, seduction and other temptations that would lead you astray. <br/><br/>Knowledge<br/>Raw knowledge and studying. How many books you have read or how many tales you have listened to. Is used with skills that require you to reproduce studied or routine tasks and is rolled for remembering a person’s face or recalling random facts you might know.<br/><br/>Wits<br/>Quick thinking, creativity and ‘intelligence’. Determines who acts first in a surprise situation. Is rolled for feats where quick thinking is necessary or when you have to come up with an unorthodox solution to a problem.<br/><br/>Perception<br/>Is rolled to spot hidden objects or people or perform other feats of perception like appraising goods or counting an army.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>You get 25 points of attributes to distribute. The minimum value for each attribute is 1 and no attribute may be raised higher than five. Raising an attribute over three is more expensive: Every point beyond three costs 2 points. </strong><br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Attribute example</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Joss, a grizzled frontiersman chooses a dexterity of 3 (3 points), a strength of 5 (7 Points) and a stamina of 4 (5 points). This leaves him with only 10 points for social and mental attributes. He goes with a presence of 2 (2 points), manipulation of 1 (1 point) and Composure of 2 (2 points). For mental attributes, he takes a knowledge of 1 (1 points), wits of 1 (1 point) and perception of 3 (3 points). <br/><br/>He is strong and tough, though not very bright or subtle.<br/></div></div></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Skills are always used together with an appropriate attribute. No skill is linked to one particular attribute. For example, using a sword in combat would roll (dexterity+melee) while appraising the quality of one on the market would roll (perception+melee) and recognizing an heirloom fencing blade would roll (knowledge+melee). Obviously, some combinations are more common than others. Skills may also overlap sometimes. For example, the melee skill includes training to throw weapons, as does the throwing skill. If you have both, the better one is rolled. If you have both at 3 or better, the better one is rolled with a +1 ‘synergy’ bonus.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Combat skills</strong><br/><br/>Melee   <br/>The use and knowledge of all melee weapons. If you are attacked in close combat while you are armed with a melee weapon, you can use this skill to defend yourself. You can also throw melee weapons with this skill, provided the target is within ten yards. <br/><br/>Archery<br/>The use of low-tech ranged, muscle powered weapons like bows and crossbows. It also covers many rare and exotic weapons like blowguns and the like. <br/><br/>Throwing<br/>Throwing rocks, knives, spears, horseshoes or grenades.<br/><br/>Brawl<br/>Combat up close and personal, armed or unarmed. You can use fists, feet and small weapons like saps, knifes or the butt of your pistol with this skill. You can use this skill to defend yourself in melee, provided you are unarmed or only using a small weapon.<br/><br/>Dodge<br/>This skill allows you to dodge ranged attacks as well as some environmental dangers. It won’t work in close combat, but it can defend against bullets, arrows, grenades, falling boulders and similar hazards that you cannot defend against with melee or brawl.<br/><br/>Gunslinger<br/>Shooting and quick drawing handguns, revolvers, very short sawed-off shotguns and similar one-handed, pistol-like weapons is covered by this skill. <br/><br/>Rifles<br/>Basically covers all two-handed guns like rifles, sub-machineguns and shotguns.<br/><br/>Heavy weapons<br/>Mounted infantry weapons, spaceships weapons, rocket and grenade launchers are all used with this skill. Unlike handguns, these weapons tend to be illegal, even on the frontier. But a military vet may have picked up this skill in the service. <br/><br/><strong>Athletic skills</strong><br/><br/>Stealth<br/>Sneaking and hiding.<br/><br/>Athletics<br/>Running, jumping, swimming and climbing.<br/><br/>Alertness<br/>Reacting to danger. Rolled to avoid traps and spot hidden objects. Is also rolled by the victim in an ambush-situations and success allows him to dodge or defend himself on the first turn.<br/><br/>Survival<br/>Surviving in the wild. Hunting, setting traps, finding water and shelter. Also includes the handling of dogs and other hunting/tracking animals.<br/><br/>Riding<br/>Riding and handling horses and similar.<br/><br/>Driving<br/>Handling all kinds of ground vehicles, including hovers.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Social skills</strong><br/><br/>Empathy<br/>Guessing other people’s thoughts, reading their emotions and generally getting a feel for them. Also used for detecting lies.<br/><br/>Subterfuge<br/>Lying with a straight face and spinning falsehoods. Can also be used to detect lies.<br/><br/>Intimidation<br/>Threats, interrogation and torture. It’s use can be subtle or very open.<br/><br/>Socialize<br/>Hanging out <em>properly</em> is a skill. It helps you learn rumors and find jobs or trouble on an unfamiliar planet.<br/><br/>Seduction<br/>Inciting sexual arousal and need in your mark and generally performing well in bed.<br/><br/>Etiquette   <br/>The high-class equivalent to the ‘socialize’ skill. It entails knowing the proper titles of dignitaries, the place setting at a formal dinner, ballroom-style dances and anything else a person of class needs to know.<br/><br/><strong>Professional skills</strong><br/><br/>Every job has a professional skill associated to it like ‘mason’, ‘farmer’ or ‘accountant’ and they are too numerous to list. You might want to take one or two as part of your background, though. If there is a skill you would like to learn but it isn’t on the regular skill list, say ‘botany’ or ‘housekeeping’, then you can still learn it. Simply put it down and assign points to it as normal. Not all possible skills are listed, only the common ones. Usually, I will approve of such player generated skills unless they are too broad in scope. <br/><br/>Some professional skills are of special note and many characters might have a little training in them even if they have no formal training:<br/><br/>Medic<br/>Training in first aid and medicine. Many people in the Verse know a little first-aid to help the wounded until a real doctor arrives on the scene. <br/><br/>Merchant<br/>Bartering, finding rare goods and the best sellers, knowledge of trade houses and important merchants.<br/><br/>Pilot<br/>Let’s you pilot anything from a small shuttle to a big space cruiser. Also includes some basic knowledge of ships and their inner workings as well as the ability to identify ship types and knowing their performance characteristics.<br/><br/>Mechanic<br/>Fixing big machines like cars, engines, hovers and spaceships.<br/><br/>Hacking<br/>Anyone in the Verse has some basic computer-knowledge. But this skill takes it further. It is the art of subverting computer security.<br/><br/>Petty crime<br/>This is a catchall skill for what a kid growing up on the streets might pick up. It is also taught in ‘special operations’ schools. It includes pickpocketing, sleight of hand, picking locks, escaping handcuffs, disabling alarms and similar criminal activity.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Special skills</strong><br/><br/>Special skills are rarely rolled as such. But they give you a bonus or alleviate a penalty you might otherwise incur. <br/><br/>Pain-Tolerance<br/>Toughness, bravery and determination are the mark of a good soldier. Every point in this skill reduces the wound penalty by one, allowing you to fight to the bitter end at full effectiveness. Five points make you a big damn hero…or a reaver.<br/><br/>Spacer<br/>You have ‘space legs’. You know the dangers of decompression, how to operate a space-suit, have an instinctive feel for the layout of an unfamiliar ship and know some basic fixes and workarounds for minor mechanical trouble on board a ship. Also, you never get space-sick and you can work in zero-g without penalties. Every point in this skill reduces the penalty for working in zero-g by one.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>You get 25 points to distribute on skills, like you did for attributes. Skills can be as low as 0, though and skills over 3 cost double.</strong><br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Skill example</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">As a frontiersman, Joss will invest heavily into survival and combat skills. He goes with survival of 5 (7 points), brawl of 2 (2 points), gunslinger of 3 (3 points) and dodge of 3 (3 points). That’s 15 points already. Subtlety is not his forte, so he skips stealth altogether but he invests 2 points in athletics. Alertness and riding are both important on the frontier, so he gives them 2 points each as well. His only social skill is intimidation at 2. With his final two points, he takes 2 points in pain tolerance, which will allow him to fight without penalties even when wounded.<br/><br/>Joss is a survivor par excellence, but not much use outside of his backwater moon. He is a blunt tool, to say the least, and probably not the best player character. Not all challenges can be solved by violence, after all.<br/></div></div></div></div></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">System details</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">All rolls are made with a number of (skill + appropriate attribute) of D10s. Every 6 or higher is a success. Every 1 reduces your successes by one. The number of success determines your level of success. Usually, one success is enough to accomplish your task but sometimes you need more. If you roll more 1’s than successes, the action is ‘botched’ and fails spectacularly in some way. Obviously, this also reduces the average number of successes you get to a bit less than one half your dice pool. <br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Advancement</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">People get better over time. You can improve your attributes and skills by spending experience points. The cost to raise a stat by one point is: (New level) for a skill and (New level x 3) for an attribute. You cannot raise a skill or attribute above 5 and you cannot ‘skip’ a level. <br/><br/>Experience points are earned during play. Everyone who participated actively in a mission will be awarded a couple of points automatically simply for surviving. Also, I will be awarding extra for players who actively engage in the story and thus enrich the roleplay. <br/><br/>As a rule of thumb, expect around 5 points at the end of a ‘mission’ (depending on difficulty and danger) and 1 bonus point for every post that I consider extraordinarily well written.  <br/><br/>You can spend experience points when they are awarded or save them up for later. However, you can’t spend them in the middle of the action. You either have to have a quiet moment or be in an active learning environment.  <br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Advancement example</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Joss realizes that he is getting cheated on the market all the time, due to his low mental attributes and nonexistent merchant skill. So he decides to invest some experience points to raise his knowledge from 1 to 2 and his merchant skill from 0 to 3.<br/><br/>Knowledge is straightforward: the new level is 2, so he pays 2x3= 6 experience points.<br/><br/>The merchant skill, however, is raised several levels at once. He must pay for every step independently. Raising it from 0 to 1 costs 1 experience point. From 1 to 2 another 2. And finally from 2 to 3 costs 3 points. So altogether, he pays another 6 experience points for raising his merchant skill from 0 to 3. <br/></div></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Combat details</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The attacker rolls (dexterity+combat skill) to hit the target. This can be modified by range, visibility or other adverse conditions. If at least one success is scored and the defender is aware of the attack, he may try to avoid it. The defender rolls (dexterity+defensive skill) and any of his successes reduces the attacker’s successes by one. The defender may opt to drop to the ground, duck behind cover or retreat (in close combat) for one extra success, provided he isn’t already down.<br/><br/>If any attacker successes are left over, the target is hit. Guns deal damage according to their type and ammunition. Fists and muscle powered weapons deal damage based on the wielder’s strength. Subtract the target’s armor from the damage. If any remains, the target is wounded. The location depends on the number of leftover successes the attacker scored.<br/><br/>1 success is a glancing hit. Half damage is inflicted.<br/>2 successes is a hit to a random limb. Full damage is inflicted, but discard any damage in excess of 10.<br/>3 successes is a hit to the body. Full damage is inflicted.<br/>4 successes is a hit to the vitals. Triple damage is inflicted.<br/>5 successes or more is a hit to the head. Ten times the damage is inflicted. Also, most armor available on the frontier is weaker on the head, if it is armored at all.<br/><br/>The human body is tough. You can take up to (Stamina x20) points in injuries before you die. However, getting shot or stabbed is serious business. Every full 10 points of damage you take reduce the number of dice you get to roll for ALL your rolls by 1. <br/><br/>Also, a SINGLE attack inflicting more than 20 points of damage will need immediate medical treatment or you will take further damage due to internal bleeding.<br/><br/>Some weapons (fists, sap, sonic blaster, taser) are classified as non-lethal. The damage they inflict is only temporary and lasts only for a day or two. Except for bleeding, all other rules for injuries apply, though and taking combined lethal and nonlethal damage over (Stamina x 20) will knock a fighter unconscious.<br/><br/>Restraining weapons (bola, net, glue-gun) and similarly inflict ‘phantom’ injuries by hampering their foes. These work like injuries, however armor does not protect (though shields do) and the pain tolerance skill cannot nullify the penalties incurred through them. ‘Healing’ this damage however is quickly accomplished by cutting away the restraining weapon. This takes a roll on (brawl or melee+dex) if you have a cutting implement in your hand and every success reduces the ‘damage’ by 10. If you have not, you can try to wiggle free or otherwise remove them with a roll on (petty crime+dex) but each success removes only 5 points of ‘damage’. Note that the victim herself incurs ‘wound’ penalties as normal and this will eventually render any escape attempt impossible. Bystanders can help by attempting the same rolls without penalties. <br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Combat example</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Joss gets ambushed by a claim-jumper. <br/><br/>The outlaw shoots with a pistol, rolling 5 dice (dex3+gunslinger2) and scores 2 successes. Joss is surprised and thus cannot dodge the attack. He is hit in the arm. The attacker’s heavy pistol deals 15 points of damage, but the hit is on a limb so Joss only takes 10 points of injury as the bullet blows clean through. Joss has a stamina of 4, so he can take up to 80 points of damage and is in no immediate danger of dying. He is wounded, however and would have to reduce all his dice pools by one but his pain tolerance lets him ignore up to a 2-dice wound penalty.  <br/><br/>Of course, he whips out his own pistol and shoots right back! <br/><br/>Joss has gunslinger 3 and a dexterity of 3, so he rolls 6 dice for his counterattack, scoring 3 successes. The outlaw is aware of the attack and so has a chance to dodge, rolling dexterity+dodge  for 2 successes. Joss is left with one success which is just a glancing hit, inflicting half damage. <br/><br/></div></div></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Equipment guidelines</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Generally speaking, gear should not be the focus of the game. This is about tough, skilled characters making a life out there on the frontier, not about high-tech tools and robots stealing the show. It may not be entirely realistic but in the Verse, your skills are far more important than you equipment. A rustbucket with an ace pilot can outfly a military fighter and a gutsy gunslinger can best a soldier wearing alliance battle armor and an assault rifle!<br/>Therefore, keep your list of possessions short. They are more an extension of your personality, like your favorite gun or your childhood cuddle toy.<br/><br/>For most jobs, average equipment available on the frontier is required to make a roll without bonuses or penalties. Core-type equipment will add a dice or two and bad or no equipment at all may subtract up to two dice.<br/><br/>As a guideline, pistols deal around 10 points of damage per shot, more if they are larger or high-tech. A blow with your fist does (Strength) damage. A melee weapon will do (Strength+X), where X depends on the size and type of the weapon (1 for something very small and improvised, 6 for a sword). <br/><br/>Core-tech can be significantly better but many items are either restricted or prohibitively expensive. More importantly, it is usually hard to impossible to service such technology on the fringe of the system. Without regular maintenance by trained specialists with high-tech tools, such fancy toys tend to break down. <br/><br/>Pick what you like, as long as it is not too big or too valuable. However, I am the final arbiter on what gear you can have and what its performance will be.<br/></div></div>"

The ranch passed to his oldest brother and from the moment he took over, Braxton knew that he could not live under the new management. As a young man, he left the family house and studied politics on Osirus, fancying himself to be the forerunner of a new generation of local administrators and planetary elects. However, he quickly came into conflict with the prevalent alliance-centered school of thought and, after several heated arguments with professors and students, he was kicked out. <br/><br/>In response, he tried to join the fiercely pro-independence militia of Shadow but could not pass the physical requirements tests. After a year adrift, he finally managed to get into space-arm of the militia where he rose up to Lieutenant of the reserve in a supply company, flying an aging but sturdy Trans-U. It seemed like he had finally found his calling but fate and politics stepped in again. The Alliance decided to ‘centralize’ all fleet supply in their attempt to weaken the military position of the border planets and Braxton was given the choice to either serve under an alliance-appointed officer or receive his honorable discharge. <br/><br/>Now in his late twenties, Braxton was again adrift without a job or a purpose. The independence movement was stirring but no one was ready to raise men and ships for a fight, yet. And he was certainly unwilling to return to his family farm and live under his brother’s rule. In the end, he sold his share of his heritage to his brothers so that he could afford a place where he could finally be free: <br/><br/>A ship of his own.  <br/><br/><br/>[b]Personality[/b]: Braxton likes to [i]talk[/i] about freedom, about equal chances and opportunities. After all, it all adds up in his political treatises and books. In the real world, the independence movement he supports is fighting not only for freedom but also for maintaining the rights and privileges of local landowners and gentry like himself. On Summerfair where he grew up, slavery was legal, commonplace and a major source of labor and wealth for the local landowners. Consequently, ‘Freedom’, for Braxton includes the notion of private property which needs to be protected from the greedy hand of the state. And ‘property’ in this case can well mean…people. <br/><br/><br/>Braxton Early is a southern gentleman: He keeps his word, respects the ladies and treats his men and his crew well enough.

I’d like the captain to have a slave girl who adores him. And if she doesn’t then, well, as long as she obeys… <br/><br/>Violent rape kinda repulses me, though. Consequently, the Captain prefers to push a girl into a subservient position where she can’t really rebuke his advances. Then, he slowly – gently even – forces himself onto her. All the better if she later can’t even deny that a part of her enjoyed it.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 1</td><td>Presence 4</td><td>Knowledge 3</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 3</td><td>Manipulation 3</td><td>Wits 3</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 1</td><td>Composure 3</td><td>Perception 3</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Brawl 1      Dodge 3   Gunslinger 2<br/>Stealth 1   Alertness 2   Survival    1   Riding 1            <br/>Empathy 2   Intimidation 3   Socialize 1                  <br/>Medic 1   Merchant 3   Pilot 1      Mechanic 1   Politics 1      <br/>Spacer 1<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Relationships with other characters</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>The Line</strong> (Ship)<br/>Braxton owns the ship, loves the ship and loves being on the ship.

They usually get along fine, unless of course, they are debating politics. But by and large, Braxton has resigned to ‘agreeing to disagree’.<br/><br/><strong>Keridwyn ""Keri"" Jones</strong> (Pilot)<br/>The captain likes the independent-minded young pilot, and he respects her for her skills. Usually, when it comes to matters of piloting or navigation, he simple lets her decide.<br/><br/><strong>Mya Richone</strong> (Ships’s surgeon)<br/>Braxton <em>really</em> enjoys having Mya onboard as an indentured girl. She is the best medic he can ever hope to have and there is also the prospect of ‘fringe benefits’.

Instead of making her resent him, it seems to make her try even harder. On the whole, Braxton takes Elfi for granted and doesn’t give her – or her feelings – much thought, though. <br/><br/><strong>Serenity Sun Kwan</strong> (Companion)<br/>Braxton is really starting to regret his arrangement with Serenity. With her witty tongue and winning personality, she is undermining his authority more than anyone else on board and her political views are as loathsome to him as his are to her. He can’t kick her out, though: she is always paying her rent on time and their contract still has some months in it.

Only Lance and the captain know where it is and only the captain knows the combination or what’s inside.<br/><br/>Although he can dress like a gentleman if the event requires it, his usual attire is a rancher’s long coat, broad-rimmed hat and riding boots.

She has a feel for ships, how they'll fly, when to push them, when to let up and let them glide. When she's flying (especially under pressure) she almost seem to become one with the ship itself. There's nothing she can't fly from the smallest shuttle to the largest cargo ships. She's pretty sure she could handle anything the Alliance has as well but she hasn't had the chance.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Growing up on the outer planets she didn't have the access to education and technology that those in the inner core did but that didn't stop her from learning everything she could. Especially when it came to flying and navigation. Having a head for science and numbers she learned all that she could about the theory behind different ships, how they worked, how/why they flew, what common problems with them were, and how to push them to their limits.<br/><br/>She built a reputation as a pilot, first on small jobs on her own planet and then on longer jobs between worlds. Her reputation had her as bold, willing, and able, to push a ship to it's limits, and for being slightly crazy in finding those limits. She took chances other pilots wouldn't but she always brought her ship back into port. It was the crazy part that often had her catching jobs with smugglers and other, somewhat, nefarious types, the part where she always brought the ships into whatever port they were calling home, was what kept those same types coming back for more until she found a ship to settle, and a crew, to settle on.<br/><br/>With the rest of the 'Verse choosing sides all Keri wanted to do was fly. She didn't care much for the Alliance, but she didn't see how the outer rim would be improved by booting them out of their lives either. Of course she also didn't see what the Alliance gained by keeping a bunch of poor, dustbowl planets barely scraping by either. Truth was, she didn't much care. She had what she wanted and so long as neither side interfered with that, she'd let them battle it out on their own.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Keri is a very laid back sort of girl. In general, she doesn't bother herself with matters of morality too much though she is the sort that is naturally kind and, if able, willing to help those in need. Her loyalty lies with the crew of her ship, who are a sort of replacement family for her and helping a stranger will never come before keeping her crew safe. She's intelligent and learns new skills quickly but, having grown up on an outer planet, not as educated as she could have been had she grown up in the Core. She has a thirst for adventure and freedom that keeps her flying fast and, sometimes, laughing when a job turns dangerous and pushes her skills to their limits.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>Flying hard, running from the law or Reavers (if they take a job far enough out on the Rim since the Reavers haven't pushed in far yet), the party after a job well done, the fun to be had on the occasional landing Planetside. <br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>Keri isn't the sort to want to hurt anyone. She will if pushed to it, but she's not sadistic and wouldn't take pleasure in it. She won't feel bad about it either.<br/><br/>Sexually, she is a bit of a masochist and enjoys being tied up, biting, clawing etc but she isn't submissive. She'll play but she's not going to kneel happily at someone's feet and if someone tried to make her do so...they'd find that she knows where to claw and bite to make things <em>less</em> than pleasurable for everyone involved.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 1</td><td>Presence 2</td><td>Knowledge 4</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 4</td><td>Manipulation 1</td><td>Wits 3</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 3</td><td>Composure 2</td><td>Perception 3</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Dodge 1    Brawl   1      Gunslinger 1   Stealth 1   Alertness 3    Survival 1          <br/>Empathy 2    Socialize 2   Pilot 4    Mechanic 1       <br/>Spacer 1    Knife Fighting  2    Singing 2     Carving (wood)   2<br/><br/><strong>Points awarded:</strong> 7exp - 11/23/12, saved         <br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Relationships</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/><div align=""center""><strong><em>~The Crew~</em></strong></div><br/><strong>The Line:</strong> Keri <em>loves</em> the ship! The only way she could love it more would be if it were actually her own but she has no desire to own a ship and so the Line gives her everything she could want and feels like more of a home to her than her actual home ever did. Anyone speaking poorly of the ships she loves will have a very angry Keri on their hands.<br/><br/><strong>Captain Braxton Early:</strong> She respects and likes the Captain. He took a chance on a young pilot and she sees to it that he never regrets taking that chance. She also appreciates that he respects her skill and leaves matters of piloting and navigation to her instead of ""backseat"" driving. He can do things that get on her nerves but at the end of the day she will stand by her Captain because he has, in the months she's been on the ship, become a part of a sort of extended family for her.<br/><br/><strong>Elfie:</strong> The Captain's slave, Keri is truthfully irritated by the girl. That the girl seems to simply accept her status as property baffles Keri, who cannot imagine just skittering around in the background the way the girl does. If she catches Elfie trying to clean up her bunk or the helm of the ship she doesn't trust her temper and will have warned the girl to leave those areas to her. <br/><br/><strong>Richard Dawson:</strong> Keri feels like she doesn't know the First Mate very well. He seems like a good man but also seems to isolate himself and doesn't seem to loosen up. She wants to like him, she just wishes he'd not be quite so uptight.<br/><br/><strong>Lance Daniels:</strong> Lance is her buddy. She views him as her best friend aboard the ship and often teases him mercilessly. She thinks he puts on a few airs, like calling himself and engineer instead of a mechanic, but forgives him such foibles because he can, almost always, make her laugh and because he just doesn't know any better. She also likes that he was raised in the Core because he can offer advice on books and educational subjects she'd never even heard of out on the rim. Like the Captain, Lance has become a part of her extended family and while she may tease him herself and give him a hard time, she'd stand between him and anyone else in a heartbeat!<br/><br/><strong>Sue:</strong> Keri likes the man and not only because he can keep her well fed! She feels like she can be herself around him and enjoys teasing him. She won't admit it to anyone but herself, but she's wondered just what he might do if she ever teased too much and that the idea sends a shiver down her spine and sets a small smile playing on her lips.<br/><br/><strong>Girias ""Cookie"" Bomban:</strong> Keri stays out of Girias way. The man is known to have a temper and since he often stays in his bunk, when not patrolling the ship, it's easy enough to avoid him and steer clear of that temper. <br/><br/><strong>Philemon Adricus:</strong> They don't have a lot in common but Keri likes the man and is amused by how he can turn on the ""charm"" when he chooses to.<br/><br/><strong>Mya Richone:</strong> Keri doesn't cross paths with the doctor much but likes the woman well enough...or at least doesn't <em>dis</em>like her. She is skilled and useful, which Keri always appreciates, but she doesn't understand why the rich girl hasn't paid off her indenture and gotten a fare back to a Core world and her family. Mostly she doesn't understand the doctor.<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong><em>~Passengers~</em></strong></div><br/><strong>Serenity Sun Kwan:</strong> Keri holds the Companion in a bit of awe. Not that she'd ever admit it. She admires the woman's charm and grace and her ability to manipulate a room with seeming ease. She is also a bit envious of the other woman's education and access to a life that Keri can only imagine but not so envious that it makes her bitter or dislike the woman. She does however find herself, at times, irritated with the way the Companion and the Captain are constantly sniping at each other. She's wishes they'd either fight, or fuck, it out like adults and be done with it!<br/><br/><strong>Isi Smith:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Blake Thernwood:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Sophie DeLaurents:</strong><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Equipment/Personal Items</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Keri's cabin is small but that's fine by her. She doesn't need a lot of space, preferring to be at the helm instead of in her bunk for anything but sleep. In it there is a small bunk that can retract into the wall, a bookshelf lined with books about various types of ships and stellar navigation through space, she also has a small chest of drawers that holds her clothing and a few pieces of wood that she's picked up on various planets and her carving knives. <br/><br/>The carving is something she does when she needs to let her mind worry out a problem without actually <em>thinking</em> about it too hard and she has actually sold a few pieces on some of the outer planets for a few extra coins. Nothing so fine that it would end up in the home of a rich man in the Core, but better decoration than usually makes it way out that far. <br/><br/>In the ships helm is the other possession she prizes. A series of stellar charts. They're replicas, she'd never have the money for originals, but she doesn't care. They are replicas of the original charts make when science teams first pushed into the galaxy looking for a new home after Earth-that-was was used up. They are exacting in detail and if anyone laid a finger to them they'd likely find one of her carving knives buried in their heart. <br/><br/>On her person she keeps a small six shooter on one hip and a double edged dagger on the other. She <em>can</em> hit the broad side of a barn with the gun, but mostly it's there when she needs to intimidate someone into just backing away since her own, petite, frame isn't all that intimidating on it's own. If someone is actually pushing a fight, it's the knife, not the gun, that she draws when she means business. She's far better with the blade than the gun and being female, and petite, often makes people underestimate her giving her an edge they don't even realize. <br/><br/>As for her clothing, she prefers simple denim pants and cotton shirts when on board the ship and she has a couple of simple sundresses for when they land planet-side with the intention of taking on passengers. She finds the dresses make a better first impression and seem less standoff-ish  for people signing on to travel with a bunch of strangers. </div></div>"

The surviving crew and passengers slowly suffocated but Mya was trapped in the medbay section, where she had access to bottled oxygen and drugs to slow down her metabolism to make it last even longer.  After a few days helpless in space the transport was picked up by a salvage crew where they found her half dead in the wreckage.  Realizing that Mya is from a rich core family, the captain bargains with her that he could take her off the derelict and bring her home...but that the fare would be astronomical and that she would have to sign an indenture contract to make sure that she pays. Originally refusing the request, the captain ordered the ship to undock after all the salvage was on board, where Mya quickly changed her mind. Dignity aside, Mya served the crew as a servant.  While she was not originally fond of the idea of serving the crew, she soon came to realize this arrangement could serve many of her needs.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Mya grew up a traditional Core high class kid.  Best schools, best grades and an overbearing family bent on over achieving.  Mya grew up a sweet but determined woman who generally knew what she wanted.  She has a way of using her smile, her body and her demeanor to get people to do what she wants which as a Core Worlds physician meant that she never had to be strict or demanding of anyone.  Deep down inside Mya is a true submissive.  While she works in a demanding fast paced alpha type personality field, she yearns to free herself of that yoke and give herself to the desires of others.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>Being an indentured servant I expect Mya to be more in a following position, but her knowledge of the high class side of the Alliance worlds as well as her intelligence will hopefully put her in positions where she can insert her thoughts or opinions on a mission or plan.  While she will be more submissive when it comes to aspects of ship function, when she is in her sick bay, she is in charge and usually won't settle for anything less.<br/><br/>Mya secretly seeks out situations where she will be abused and used sexually.  She tends to enjoy rough bdsm to include lots of humiliation and pain.  While she may seem to fight back or resist she may secretly want to be dominated more completely.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 1</td><td>Presence 3</td><td>Knowledge 4</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 3</td><td>Manipulation 3</td><td>Wits 4</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 2</td><td>Composure 2</td><td>Perception 3</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Medic 5       Etiquette 3   Riding 2<br/>Empathy 3  Seduction 3   Melee  1   <br/>Socialize 3  Politics 2   <br/>Athletics    Alertness   <br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Equipment</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/>Mya's belongings are small and unencumbering,  the kind you'd find on someone who was running away from her life and really didn't need the burden.  Most of her material assets on Osirus were liquidated to credits and locked in a bank account.  She had no need for furniture or things where she was going, she could buy them there.  <br/><br/>Her room on the ship is sparse but homely.  The main items in her possession amounted to a number of old medical journals, actual books with hard binders, she found in an antique store many years ago in college.  They were her first taste of real medicine away from the scanners and mechanics of core medicine.  A medics kits she always carries with her in case of emergencies with an abundant supply of items she might need for any situation outside of an operating room.  <br/><br/>She also carries a few mementos from her life on Osirus, mainly a few trinkets and gifts she received from old boyfriends or friends prior to her departure.  The rest of her belongings are clothes.  A ragged assortment of dresses and outfits she figured might be useful on Belaraphone to get settled and buy new clothes.  Little did she know how that would work out. <br/><br/></div></div>"

His anger is only surpassed by his loyalty to a good boss, as he'll never betray those. He tends to make bad jokes and quickly starts insulting people as a way of attracting attention. Having lived a life full of crime, he generally distrusts people and keeps his firearms close at hand.<br/><br/>You will most likely find him walking around the ship as a way to combat boredom and to snoop around for reasons to throw people out of an air lock. If he's not patrolling, he'll be in his cot away from others with a pack of cards, drinking or both. He has a sleep disorder where his body does not need sleep as we know it, but rather rest his body by sitting still for an hour or two. The general lack of sleep has always been a major reason for Girias' lack of patience or general niceness.<br/><br/>Background: Girias grew up on a small, rural planet and left on the first ticket out of there for the action and the money. Most of his adult life he has been going from one job to the other, sparring with the law and spent over 7 months in correctional facilities as punishment for past ""jobs"".

Though he doesn't really need any actual sleep, he still has a retractable bed that mostly serves as a table to hold his weapons and spare parts as he's cleaning and repairing them. <br/><br/>The walls are decorated with rather gruesome memories of past jobs. Small patches cut out of bags holding stolen/salvaged resources decorate one part while most of the others are filled with other memories. Things like a hat with two bullet holes through it, as the sign of the last boss that had tried to cheat him out of his money. Another such memory is the prosthetic leg ... long story, don't ask. Yet many more clutter the walls and the floor.<br/><br/>The only thing that's actually neat, cleaned and ready to use always are his weapons. Girias has weapons for every occasion, but while most rest in the ship's armory there are a couple he always keeps to himself. One of those is an old Bowie, yet treated with great care. It's a massive weapon, with a 20 inch blade, which effectively makes it a sword. Another of his personal favorites is a S&amp;W's Pistol with 12 shot per clip. He usually wears it in a holster on his right thigh and carries spare ammo in the pockets on his left leg. The last weapon of his that is always in his cot is his Winchester. A rifle that had been with him when he left his old home several years ago. This rifle is the last remaining artifact he has from his old home. A gift from his great grandfather and something he treasures as much as his life.<br/><br/>Clothing wise, Girias sticks to the general attire of wearing tight shirts to make sure that his shirt doesn't restrict any rapid arm movements. Below the shirt he usually wears a cow hide belt through the loops of jeans pants.

Her thirst for adventure is something that does work for the better, as he enjoys combat and exciting situations just as much.<br/><br/>Mya Richone = He hates her for her intelligence, yet enjoys the fact that she serves the crew. Girias will often not acknowledge her presence or her words on purpose, mostly to annoy her and to remind her of her place.<br/><br/>Serenity Sun Kwan = Girias is disgusted by the fact that she, as a companion, possibly sleeps with people for money.  He himself sticks to monogamous relationships with proper women (slaves and servants aren't considered as proper women). He will often insult her due to her profession.<br/><br/>Elfi = He will not recognize her existence, except when she has done something to upset him. He will threaten her in case he's mad but he will generally not harm her, because she's the captain's property. He recognizes and respects the captain's hold over Elfi as her owner and will agree with whatever he wants to do with her.<br/><br/>Philemon ""Phil"" Adricus = He enjoys Phil's sense of freedom and has a fondness for his past as a poor citizen. The only things that makes Girias want to punch him in the face is when he debates slavery and when he's doing his special tricks. Because of his sleight of hand, Girias always mistrusts Phil when it comes to money and other possesions.<br/><br/>Lance Daniels = Girias dislikes him because of his past, upbringing and apparent lack of willing to do any hard labor. It annoys him to the point of wanting to hurt him when he's just relaxing instead of doing anything useful.<br/><br/>Richard Dawson = Girias respects the chain of command and considers him the only person besides the captain he'll actually listen to. His discipline and professionalism is something Girias trusts because he trusts Richard will never abuse his power to punish him, another reason why he will obey the man.<br/><br/>Sue = Girias likes the way he talks and amuses himself thusly. He respects his past profession as a hired gun and muscle. His loyalty to the money, his love for alcohol and his cooking skills also make him better in Girias' eyes. This is mostly why Sue is probably the person he'll get along with the best.</div></div>"

30<br/><br/><strong>Orientation</strong>: Bi  (As is common and required for all Companions, but she doesn't mind either.)<br/><br/><strong>Occupation</strong>: Companion<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Serenity is everything a Companion needs to be and more.  Despite her rather rough start in escaping a slaver attack on her home world only to be captured later and sold to a Guild Hall, (which really wasn't a bad thing for her in the end,) she adjusted well since she was in all honesty too young to remember her real family.  The Hall and those within became her family and despite having been a slave sold to their Hall, she was freed almost immediately since Serenity was quickly discovered to have a natural talent for their ways.  Perhaps it was because of her own history which had been full of pain of both physical and emotional trauma that made her so receptive.  Whatever the case, she has gained a positive reputation as being one of the more sought after of her order's ranks, and Serenity loves that she's able to help those in need whatever the case might be.  Do not let her appearance fool you however into a false sense of security.  She is quite skilled in defending herself and has proven that on several occasions since hiring on to this newest ship to get away for a while and see the stars, more out of a desire to broaden her understanding of the Verse than any sense of adventure like some of those onboard.  Associating with less than savory folk doesn't deter her much either.  The only drawback is that she will not associate with slavers or those that keep them unless persuaded, possibly at gunpoint.  Even then that's a risky proposition since even in the black, there is no fury like a woman scorned.  However, she will make an exception if said slave keeper is kind to those he keeps, otherwise you best expect a knife in the dark.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>;  Despite being an agricultural world that was considered by many, even then, to be a sacred place of sorts given the rich abundance of food that the place produced, slavers were still a problem from time to time especially since Hera was on one of the main trade lanes going back and forth to the Border worlds and the Alliance Worlds.  Either way you sliced it, the Verse it seemed had a cruel sense of humor and Serenity as she had been named after the valley her mother born her in, was not to have the same serene life that her name derived its meaning.  Even as a young child she was a peaceful, loving baby, seeming able to calm people just by being around her.  It was a gift that would serve her well into her adult life as slavers attacked when she was 2 and while her family managed to get offworld, they seemed quite persistent and managed to board the ship before taking all hands that were still alive to theirs before heading to the nearest world that would accept live cargo such as they.  Fortunately for Serenity, she was sold to a Guild Hall and freed almost the same day.  She was raised by the others in the Hall and when she was 12 years old, was given the choice to learn from them and become one of them.  Despite missing parents and family she couldn't really remember anyway, Serenity didn't hesitate in giving her decision to join the Hall.  She excelled in nearly everything they could teach her, and before long had a reputation as being of an empathic sort that was hard to come by even though all Companions were the same in that they were good at what they did, and that was helping people in their own ways.  Sure the sex that came with the job wasn't always fun, but Serenity never once had to mark a client as a black lister until she was 24.  Then for some reason she got three in a row and almost quit if not for a passing ship's crew she found quite intriguing after meeting them all.<br/><br/>It was from there that she became a traveling Companion but she mostly decided to stay on the Guild Hall controlled world that she had been raised in otherwise.  Whenever a passing ship came down to visit however, she'd be one of the first to examine and interview the crew onboard, seeing if her talents and personality would be a hindrance or a positive thing if she decided to travel with them.  So far she's been on several ships and so far no mishaps have happened although she has traveled with some rather unsavory yet wonderful people overall.  The only major rule she has ever said out front to anyone that was interested in hiring her along for their trips was that she would NEVER deal in flesh since she herself had been a part of that very trade, and not as a slaver.  Those that persist often get a closed door real quick.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong>  Serenity doesn't have much experience with the rougher kinds of sex overall, and while I myself have no problem with Noncon, don't expect her to enjoy it much at all.  Beyond that I'm pretty open minded so long as there's no scat, watersports, etc involved.  No mutilations or death either thank you very much.  Just ask and you'll likely receive a yes more times than not.  ;D<br/><br/>As far as RP scenes without the sex are concerned however, she is a Companion so a lot of interactions both in and out of her shuttle will be required if you ask me.  If going out on a job, as long as her reputation isn't put at risk too much, I don't have a problem with her getting her feet wet with the life of petty crime.  Also, if there are any clues as to where her parents were sold and all that, and they are eventually found, whatever their status happens to be, (especially if Braxton helps to find them even,) it will do a lot to calm her down in regards to the whole slavery business or make her even more volatile than ever depending on how the situation is handled and how things afterward are handled.<br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>""It is required reading material only since most Companions shy away from pain on a moral grounds alone.  Pain is at most times counterproductive to what we do as Companions as a whole, but some very specific clients do appreciate a firm hand and those willing to provide are among our ranks.  While it is not something I prefer, I have indulged the more light variations of BDSM over the course of my life.  Blindfolds, light to medium bondage, some soft spankings/caning/flogging, etc.  But mostly I prefer to indulge in the more sensory play of things such as running ice over a person's flesh to stimulate their nerves into bliss, among other such things of this sort.  I am willing to receive this kind of treatment as well, but only if I trust said partner and client, otherwise we shall have to see.""<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div

onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Relationships</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>The Line:</strong>  ""The Line, a Firefly class transport ship owned by the quite annoying and slave owning scumbag Captain Braxton Early.  As much as I might hate the man himself, he picked a good and sturdy ship to help get me and those that have signed on from place to place and I find I quite enjoy the others' company almost as much as the ship itself.  I might not know as much as I'd prefer in regards to piloting, but if I asked nicely I'm sure Keri at least would be happy to show me a few things in regards to the ship which I find is quite beautiful in her own way.""<br/><br/><strong>Captain Braxton Early:</strong>  ""If I ever catch Captain Braxton harming so much as a hair on his slave's head, I will personally end his life, contract or no.  I was a slave, my family I have not seen since that terrible day, and there will be no power in this Verse that could stop me if I see so much as a bruise on another's skin when it comes to such matters.  Despite his opinions on the matter, (which he states quite loudly most likely to annoy me no doubt,) I do realize he most likely knows no other way, having come from a world and a life where such practices were normal.  Either way, despite his habits and his practices, even I have to admit he has a certain southern gentleman charm about him that I find....almost arousing, if I was in the habit of mating with dogs.""<br/><br/><strong>Richard Dawson:</strong>  ""Losing the family farm and everything one has worked towards their entire life is something that is hard to recover from.  I can understand why then that Richard only associates with me on a purely professional level, but if possible I'd see him more at ease around me if no one else.  Even a man such as Richard needs time to be himself without the strict work habits he seems to follow almost as religiously as any man of faith I've ever met.  He's almost borderline workaholic and such a thing isn't healthy even on a ship like the Line where tending to everything, even if he is First Mate to the Captain, can drive a man insane if he doesn't take the time to enjoy himself as well.""<br/><br/><strong>Sue;</strong>  ""Sue is one of the better cooks I've come across during my travels as a Companion and I would partake of his fixings any time they are doled out.  He might be a bit more of a simpler sort on some matters and he seems to be alike the Captain a little too much for my liking, but he at least is a good man overall as far as I can figure.  He has not broken a promise that I've ever heard him make thus far and while he doesn't mind slavery, he at least doesn't own one of his own so....I can forgive him a few of his looks he has cast at Elfi from time to time as long as that is all they are.""<br/><br/><strong>Lance Daniels:</strong>  ""Lance is not one that likes to be alone, although why that might be I have not been able to tell as of yet.  Perhaps it's nothing more than a personal preference but I feel it might be something more.  I could simply be reading too much into him out of my natural affinity for knowing people and what they truly desire.  Whatever the case, overall, despite associating with Captain Early, Lance himself seems like a generally likeable fellow and whenever he comes to visit, (which is actually a little too often even for me,) I do find I feel at ease around the engineer.  Besides, he takes good care of my shuttle and I'm sure if I asked he'd be happy to show me a few things in the way of mechanics.  I just have to get to know him a bit more first is all to feel comfortable in doing so.""<br/><br/><strong>Mya Richone:</strong>  ""Miya is realizing that she's a submissive, that is clear to see in all that she does.  She had after all willingly signed her indentured servant's contract with Early, even though at the time it was at the point of dying out in the black from what I've gathered from the others about her.  I am not blind to anything regarding the activities onboard the ship and know that Miya willingly serves despite the rather coerced cooperation at the time of her rescue.  She wishes to be stuck in the position she's in for her own personal enjoyment, and while it's not the most ideal thing she could have done, neither can I blame her since sometimes, submitting to another's will is the only way to be free.  Beyond this, she is an artist when it comes to surgery and saving a person's life and there is few that I'd trust more with my physical well being than her.""<br/><br/><strong>Girias ""Cookie"" Bomban:</strong> ""Men of violence such as Girias are easy to maneuver about as needed, but there is something about this particular one that says he is more than a simple brute with a gun fetish.  His inability or unwillingness to sleep like normal people begs the question as to what the case might be in regards to his insomnia.  Whatever the case, he is intriguing regardless.""<br/><br/><strong>Philemon Adricus:</strong>  ""Phil as I've come to call him is quite the good man.  He doesn't support Early's practices of keeping Miya and Elfi, and while he doesn't have much of an opinion regarding the growing tensions between the Alliance and the Independents, I have learned that he supported the latter before he was faced with a court martial and almost sentenced.  A Companion never kisses and tells as the saying goes and I would never betray the fact to anyone, especially Early, that he has begun to teach Elfi to read, something I congratulate quite a bit on his part since it shows he cares quite a bit in his own way.  If he ever asked, I would be hard pressed to deny him an evening of my company....my rather intimate company to be precise and not just our talks we have at present.""<br/><br/><strong>Elfi</strong>  ""Poor, poor Elfi.  I might not know how deep her obedience to Captain Early runs but I have a pretty fair idea.  I've seen the slave pens, the way those that consider themselves 'better' than their supposed property can be, and I can at least understand why Elfi is so determined to please the bastard.  That kind of mindless devotion is what makes me the angriest whenever I meet with the girl or she comes to my shuttle to clean up my chambers.  I do my best to grin and bear it but I do have to chase her off gently more times than I'd like since I prefer to take care of my own things.  Beyond that it's pretty clear that she's far more in awe of me than Keri, which usually sets me on edge since that kind of worship is expected of a goddess, and I would never claim to be as such to anyone, especially to someone like Elfi.  I shall do what I can for her but it is unlikely I'll make much progress, especially with Braxton running the ship and Elfi herself.""<br/><br/><strong>Keridwyn 'Keri' Jones;</strong>  ""Despite being a bit crazy behind the helm, Keri is a study in calm, especially under pressure.  Even I, a Companion, could learn a few things from the likes of her in maintaining one's cool and composure, although I think our methods are too far apart to really mesh in all honesty.  Regardless, she has no opinion regarding the matter of the Alliance and the Border worlds or slavery for that matter, and that I believe makes her easy to be around, at least easier although a part of me does wish she WOULD pick a side, just so we'd have more to talk about whenever I do come out of my shuttle or she comes to me.  Still, one cannot have everything so I shall simply make due.  I can tell whatever the case that Keri is in awe of what I am, but that in and of itself is nothing new in some regards.  What is surprising that she isn't envious or jealous which I have had to deal with in the past which makes me a bit uneasy, although being insulted just makes me angry so it is better than what I get at times from certain people.""<br/><br/><strong>Isobel Smith;</strong>  ""I was sold as a slave when I was 2 years old, yet I was most fortunate to have been sold to a Companion Guild Hall where I learned all that I would ever need.  Isobel was not so fortunate from what I've been able to get from her and from my few information contacts people like myself tend to gather, like old socks.  Regardless, I can almost sense her hidden pain at losing all she knew to become what she is now, and I wonder what the rest of her story might be?  Whether I find out or not in the days to come is yet to be seen, but I will try and help her, hopefully before it's too late.""</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Equipment/Personal Items</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Besides the obvious shuttle craft that all Companions tend to take wherever they go, docking with whatever transport or cargo ship they become a part of, Serenity herself has a few items that are not as typical for a Companion.  The bed, the fine silk sheets, and other items of the same that are designed to instill a sense of peace and comfort to any that visit her are there of course, but those that aren't seen such as the flash bombs designed as incense sticks, the hidden fencing blade she keeps close at hand whenever she needs a bit of personal protection whenever she's planetside with the crews of whatever ship she happens to be on which are normally not as savory as most people she regularly associates with given her respected status and reputation, and two fighting daggers she keeps on her person at all times except when she's...ahem....in the middle of Companion business, (i.e, when her clothes are scattered about her chambers along with that of her current client,) those she keeps readily available in case the need should ever arise to use them which have thankfully been few and far between thus far given her very careful selection process along with the Guild resources of course which do part of the work for her.  She still does her own research just to be on the safe side.<br/><br/>Her room itself is very well organized, everything having its place and its purpose.  She keeps a number of massage oils and scented candles, as well as a few pairs of handcuffs, both fuzzy and otherwise, as well as rope for those into the more kinkier types of sex but she doesn't deal in pain normally.  Blindfolds as well as a collection of lingerie like outfits can be found hung up in her wardrobe, but she also has many regular if fancier outfits that would be considered society appropriate, both bought with her own money as well as given to her by very grateful clients, among other gifts of the sort of course.  Such examples can easily be seen by hand crafted sculptures, paintings, very rare books and other literature, among other items of precious worth both in the monetary sense and the more personal variety, mostly more personal so Early doesn't get any ideas mostly.<br/><br/>Serenity does keep a hidden bolt hole at the very back of her wardrobe of very personal items from her former life on Hera that she was able to collect on her travels, having managed to claim most of them in one trip back to her home world when on one of her first trips as a Companion.  A holo locket with pictures of her folks and herself as a baby crafted in gold for the most part is her most precious personal belonging.  Beyond that she has a few old child's storybooks that she was given by the current owners of her former home that they said had been found in her old bedroom.  While she is far too old for them now, she has still kept them due to how precious they are to her, of a childhood she barely remembers but was robbed of all the same, along with the warm embrace and love of her mother and father to boot.  She is still trying to find them despite knowing it is quite unlikely by now.</div></div>"

Her face and her hair and her smile and her dresses.  Dresses!  She has dresses she ain't even wore yet, and frilly underthings and the little umbrellas that don't do no good in the rain.  Gosh.  She's sunshine all wrapped up in nice.  And don't you be calling her a whore neither.  Whores ain't nothing like Mistis Serenity, and she ain't one of them.  She's a lady, proper and fancy and maybe sometimes I think she'd have angel wings if you looked close enough.<br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Equipment</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Elfi has the clothes on her back and a few, a very few, more.  They are generally low class, picked for durability and not for style, and not all of them fit properly  She does not own shoes or a warm weather jacket.  She has a heavy wool blanket, an apron, and several bits of cloth to tie her hair back.  A metal collar with a clunky box on one side adorns her neck.  Her only other possession is a small rag doll, carefully hidden away near where she usually sleeps.  It is her most prized possession.<br/><br/><div align=""center"">(http://i.imgur.com/CuDix.jpg)</div><br/></div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/>"

For one, he never met his father. For another, he usually supplanted his mother's meager income with whatever he could pick from the pockets of strangers or beg off of them. Once he was old enough, he signed on with a smuggling crew to rake in some more money. He stayed on with them for some time, always sending a cut of his take back home to his mother, until the Independence movement cropped up. Figuring he could do some good and get free room and board out of the deal, he offered his services as a spy to the Independence movement, and signed on with the infantry.<br/><br/>The now ex-smuggler remained with the military for quite some time. He was notorious in his unit for having rather pitiful aim with his rifle, but being adept with his sidearm. In fact, he stayed on  until one of his encrypted transmissions was cracked. Facing court-martial and execution, Phil did what he does best: sneaked away from the problem and ran to the fringe planets. He went back to picking pockets again, and found his knack for burglary in that time. Phil stayed a petty thief for a while, working hard on his skill set for burglary at the time. Then, he learned that a particular person with whom he had contact, Braxton Early, had just come into possession of a ship. Seeing an opportunity to return to his glory days as a smuggler, he asked Braxton if the crew had room for him about two months into the ship's operation. The rest, as they say, is history.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Phil is nothing if not a free spirit, and he hates to see freedom denied to anyone around him. He reserves a special hatred for ""the peculiar institution."" This has created friction between he and the captain during his tenure aboard<em>The Line,</em>especially when it comes to the subject of Elfi and, more recently, Mya. He can usually keep it to himself, but heaven help anyone he sees mistreating one of them. He's not the most educated man alive, but Phil has learned a pretty fair amount during his lifetime. He's not above using his talents with words and fingers to get a girl into bed, cheat a man at cards, or otherwise being not a particularly nice guy. He speaks with a distinct North London accent, and sometimes employs rhyming slang. Phil tends to be glib, sarcastic, and sometimes even condescending in conversation, but tends to relent somewhat around people he likes.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Player Information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>Phil would probably make a pretty good ""away team"" member, especially for scouting ahead and helping to get the drop on enemies.

Phil is somewhat uneasy about how much he enjoys having a woman sexually at his mercy, but if she's into it, he'll be up for it.<br/><br/>On the subject of having a rougher tumble than usual, he's much more open about enjoying that.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Attributes and Skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 1</td><td>Presence 3</td><td>Knowledge 2</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 4</td><td>Manipulation 4</td><td>Wits 3</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 2</td><td>Composure 1</td><td>Perception 3</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Brawl 2  Dodge 2  Gunslinger 2<br/>Stealth 3  Athletics 2  Alertness  2<br/>Subterfuge 3  Socialize 3  Seduction 3<br/>Petty crime 3 Hacking 1<br/>Spacer 1<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Advancement</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">+5 XP, 11/23/12<br/>Brawl advanced to 2, 11/23/12<br/>Dodge advanced to 2, 11/23/12<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Relationships</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>The Line</strong> (Ship)<br/>Phil has been on the ship since near its transition to psuedo-Independent control, and has grown to know many of its nooks and crannies.

class=""floatleft"">(http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae316/kckolbe/tumblr_machwf9sLt1qiyepco1_500.png)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Lance Daniels<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 32<br/><br/><strong>Position</strong>: Engineer<br/>He spends a lot of time in the upper and lower engine rooms, since that is where the majority of his tasks require him to be, but he is also responsible for the upkeep of the shuttles and the cockpit equipment.  In the case of the cockpit and companion shuttle, he'll hang around for a lot longer than he has to for the company unless ""kicked out"" or ignored long enough to become bored.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Lance had a fairly straightforward, middle-class upbringing well inside the Core Worlds.  After part of a proper education ended by lack of study habits, Lance decided to join the Alliance, and found he enjoyed it well enough, volunteering for the longer hauls on cargo birds when he could.  He lucked out on a couple and found a pilot that enjoyed company as much as he did, and he learned a bit about piloting as well.  He saved up quite a bit of money and once he got out managed a small business working on his own, running a small freighter by himself.<br/><br/>He did a few cargo runs for Mr. Early, whose cargo was always legal and fairly straightforward.  They talked business a few times, as Mr. Early liked knowing a bit about those he worked with, and Lance admitted that he didn't enjoy working alone or doing all the books, job hunting, etc.<br/><br/>A few months after one of the cargo runs, Lance was contacted by Mr. Early, asking him if he'd be willing to check out a craft he was thinking of buying.  Lance was surprised to discover that not only was it not a recreational craft, but it was a functional Alliance Patrol Boat.  He confirmed that it was space-worthy and then Mr. Early proposed a partnership.  Lance, as a veteran of the Alliance, was able to fill out the forms for purchasing Alliance military equipment, and Braxton was able to afford the majority of the price tag and a couple of bribes.  Lance sold his small freighter and went into business as engineer of The Line, receiving an increased share of the profits.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Very bright and very lazy.  He dislikes being alone, and generally is willing to go a bit out of his way for sake of company.  While not wealthy or particularly well-bred, he doesn't fit in too well with fringer types, something that has come to chafe at him given that an increasing percentage of the crew has a rural background.  Lance clearly enjoys creature comforts, good cortex access, and the company of anyone who doesn't outright bother him.  He refers to himself as an engineer rather than mechanic, something that he knows earns a chuckle from the lower class types, but it doesn't bother him.  He does not like making difficult decisions or managing things, so even though he is partnered with Braxton, he has no more responsibility or authority than any other crew member, and is only third in line of command should something go wrong.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div

in:</strong><br/>Give him a challenge.  Shit breaks constantly and I want there to be times where if something doesn't get fixed quickly things will get very bad.  In addition, I hope all kinds of other challenges rear their heads, forcing him to be resourceful or fold.<br/><br/>As for RP, I look forward to pseudo relationships, whether they be an arrangement with Serenity, a cuddle-buddy with Keri, a conflicted use of Elfi (would take a little while for that one), or use of Mya (whose status and personality would result in somewhat less guilt).  I also expect him to rather heavily play devil's advocate for the Alliance, given the amount of independence-backing types on the ship.<br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>Any sex with Lance will have to be consensual, though definition of consent may become shady if he ever considers Elfi.  He is not as likely to participate in BDSM-type activities, though could be persuaded

pretty expensive, and we'll need a second engineer, but for now there's plenty of room for profit if we play it right."" <br/><br/><strong>Captain, Braxton Early (SatanKlaus):</strong> ""I was pretty surprised when I heard he was looking to get into the transport business.  After all, he'd always seemed happy enough paying me to haul for him.  I sometimes think he did it just so he could call himself captain.  He enjoys the authority more than I am comfortable with, and sometimes I regret giving him complete control of the ship.  Whenever I worked for an officer that enjoyed authority that much, he turned out to be the kind that shouldn't have it.  He never tried to cheat me or stick me with a bad deal, and he's always treated me like enough of an equal even though he's been my employer before and ship captain now, so I might just be over thinking things.  I do that sometimes."" <br/><br/>""I don't know what his plan is, and I've given up asking.  I know he wants to make money, and I know he is smart enough to figure out a way to make it happen.  Still, it's harder to see the benefit of some of the people he's brought on board, except that they don't seem any more attached to the Alliance than he is.""  <br/><br/><strong>First Mate, Richard Dawson (Jecter):</strong> ""Hiring Richard made no sense to me.  Well, that's not fair.  Phil made no sense.  Plenty of captains choose first mates based on personality or friendship, but as far as I can tell he and the captain don't go that far back.  On top of that, he doesn't seem to know much about flying.  He says he's worked on a salvage ship before, and I believe him there, since he isn't oblivious when it comes to how much certain parts are worth, but he has no clue when it comes to maintenance or piloting.  I imagine he knows more about black market business, so maybe Braxton just wanted someone to work those kinds of deals.""<br/><br/><strong>Pilot, Keridwyn ""Keri"" Jones (Caela):</strong> ""I'm not entirely sure how much Keri gets paid, but I hope she earns more than about half the crew.  We could lose any two people easier than we could lose her, not counting myself.  I spend a fair bit of time in the bridge talking to her while I do checks on the comms, flight controls and indicators.  We usually end up chatting for a while.  She usually seems happy to see me.  We are, after all, the only two crew members without some type of independence sympathy.  Well, I suppose Mya as well, but I'm not entirely sure she counts as crew.  I think she likes me sometimes, but wonder if she just thinks I'm cute.  And not...not cute as in attractive.  More like a puppy.  Not a particularly flattering thought.  She's a sweet girl, though."" <br/><br/><strong>Security, Girias ""Cookie"" Bomban (Koekje):</strong> ""Well, he doesn't know how to fly or maintain a ship, and he has a criminal record that's bound to raise flags, but at least he's an asshole.  And he's independent-friendly.  Oh well.  He stays out of the way most of the time."" <br/><br/><strong>Security, Sue (Vin26m):</strong> ""Well, I don't give him a hard time for having a girl's name, and he doesn't give me a hard time for having a girl's toughness.  I wasn't too thrilled to meet him at first, given that Captain Braxton had found an excuse to hire yet another ranch hand with Independent sympathies, but he turned out all right.  In addition to looking like he can hold his own in a fight, he's pretty quick on the flight controls and can handle basic takeoffs/landings.  I usually get him to help me out in the engine room when I need an extra set of eyes or if I have to mess with some of the more unwieldy parts.  He also cooks decently enough, something that earns him a little extra fondness from most of us.  Though personally, I think a couple of women on board are a little more fond of him than I'd like.  He knows it, too.""   <br/><br/><strong>Medic, Mya Richone (orderNchaos):</strong> Lance has had a couple of conversations with her where he wasn't entirely sure what she was getting at.  He briefly thought she might be interested in him, but doesn't think that anymore, and something about her tells him he is in no way able to handle her.  He is, however, very attracted to her, and she probably appears in his mind the most often when he is alone in his bunk. <br/><br/><strong>Philemon ""Phil"" Adricus (TheRaven):</strong>  ""Can't fly.  Doesn't know the workings of a ship.  Not strong enough to work as a cargo porter.  Wanted by the Alliance.  Proven to be untrustworthy.""  Lance shakes his head.  ""He's anti-slavery, too.  That doesn't bother me, of course.  I'd personally prefer we had nothing to do with slaves, but from the captain's view that has to be a strike against him.  As far as I can tell, the only thing the captain likes about him is that he betrayed the Alliance and lived to brag about it.  I don't want to believe that Braxton would hire him based on that alone, but I don't see any other reason.""   <br/><br/><strong>Companion, Serenity Sun Kwan (Vergil1989):</strong> ""Every day I am more and more surprised that Braxton agreed to rent out a shuttle to her, and I can tell he regrets it.  I feel petty for admitting it, but seeing him irritated by her always puts me in a better mood.  She's an upstanding citizen of the Alliance, great company, and a beautiful woman.  I wouldn't have much of a complaint if she were crew.  The fact that she's paying us on top of everything makes her about my favorite person on the whole ship.  I make a point to stop by and say hi about as often as I can unless she has company.  When she does, I try to knock on her door as soon as she's free so we can have a chat as I watch her dress, a little free sample I've somehow qualified for.  That's as far as it goes, though, unless I become a customer.  With the exception of her fondness for Phil, I can't say a bad thing about her.  I really wish she'd come around on seeing what he is, but I suppose that can't be helped.""  <br/><br/><strong>Isobel Smith (Mayovagn):</strong> ""Well, she's a customer.""  Lance doesn't really know anything about her, just

Thernwood: ""She's not clean, and I'm not talking about STDs.  Once again, we've picked up someone in trouble with something else.  Maybe she's running from debt, or the law, or just some guy she's pissed off, but she joined up in a hurry without much time for negotiation.  Maybe Braxton was thinking with his penis and just made too generous an offer.  If there's one thing he cares about more than independence, it would definitely be women.  I can't complain too much, though, as the 'scenery' has gotten pretty pleasant on board, and she's no exception.  I'm not happy about picking up another fighting type, but I hear she has some other useful skills.""</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Lance's Room</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Lance's room is located on the left side of the ship, furthest back of the proper crew quarters.  It has only slightly less room than the captain's quaters, but less floor space as there is a hole in the corner and a ladder leading down to the lower level.  From his room he is never more than half a ship away from anywhere he needed to be.  There isn't much to his room, just a cortex terminal by the bed and a drawer dedicated to datadisks, a datapad, and a small pistol.  Aside from that, and a small pile of dirty clothes, his room is pretty much at default settings.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Advancement</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Milk run: 7 xp<br/>Gunslinger 1-2: 2 points<br/>Driving 0-1: 1 points<br/>4 points remaining.</div></div>"

She is quiet, sneaky, underhand, has an amazing capacity for coming by things that she shouldn't and finding herself in places that she has no place being.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Born on Ariel to a lower class family Isi found herself orphaned and being faced with being fostered by the time she was eight following a house fire that killed her parents and her sister. At least officially. Isi was sleeping over at a friends house that evening and there are rumours on the street that her family were killed by 'men in black' who took a large bundle away with them before torching the house. Rumours that Isi herself has long put behind her.<br/><br/>She didn't take to the idea of being fostered, ran away and found herself living by her wits on the streets. Not an easy thing to do in a high tech society, yet she fell on her feet meeting up with a gang of other street kids who helped her to learn the skills and knowledge she would need to stay ahead of the system.<br/><br/>Her formative years were spent learning to beg, scrounge, lie, cheat, steal, conceal, open locks, sneak, hack and more importantly either stay well ahead of trouble or hit very hard and very fast if it ever does manage to catch up.<br/><br/>By the time Isi was sixteen she was recruited into a more organized criminal gang as a runner and courier, once her skill at opening doors and squeezing through tight spaces was known she was recruited for more and more dangerous jobs till she found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong credit chip and no way to deny it.<br/><br/>Sentenced to fifteen years shortly after her nineteenth birthday she found herself inside and behind bars.<br/><br/>Prison was a revelation to Isi, she had time to hone her abilities, especially hacking and escapology. Absorbing all the knowledge and skills from the other inmates that she could. By the time she was out five years later for good behaviour she was more accomplished than she had ever thought possible and set about putting those skills to work for herself rather than a gang.<br/><br/>The latest heist however was a little too big, too hot and Isi has found herself on the 'Most Wanted' list of not only the local police, but the Alliance military as well as one of the more vicious local Arial criminal gangs the 'Talons'. The idea of spending some time in space with her ill gotten gains is suddenly very appealing and she has been travelling for a few months since.<br/><br/>Isi is hyper-flexible in a large number of her joints which added to being fairly small and very skinny gives her somewhat of an advantage at slipping bonds and escaping from restraint as well as fitting in confined spaces.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Isi is generally quiet and observant, she looks for the main chance. She is a good judge of character and chooses who she should open up to well. When she does open up she is friendly and though guarded, quite pleasant to be around if you can handle her dark and sarcastic sense of humour. She is shrewd and careful and likes to be sure and plan things before acting if she can.<br/><br/>Isi tends towards dark colours of clothing and is fussy about the personality of those she would choose to take to bed, if not their physical gender. She is not one to rush things and can be too cerebral about love, always wanting to make sure she has an escape plan.<br/><br/>Isi tends to avoid fighting if she can, its not her thing, she senses her own mortality and fragility and knows that such ephemeral things as 'life' can be so easily taken away from you if you are not careful.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>Isi is quiet and sneaky, a professional thief she would be best be employed as an adjunct to the shore party once the others in the crew are aware of her past,  a facilitator.

However, she is sleeker and more aerodynamic and much of her weight is in the more powerful engine. So, even after taking out the ASREV's (fighters) and converting the hangar bays into cargo bays, she has less storage space. She has nothing like the Firefly's cavernous cargo hold and everything is more cramped.<br/><br/>However, she has some extra facilities that a Firefly has not. For example, her med bay is far bigger than our need (hopefully) and the recovery ward on the upper level has been converted to passenger rooms. She has a 4-Cell brig (2 big cells, 2 singles) which are in use as bunks for Mya and Elfi, and as storage for sensitive goods.<br/><br/>She has a few rather remote places that are used for storing cargo and supplies. This is where the weapons used to be. The only military thing that was kept on is the nose turret, and the gun was replaced with a very powerful searchlight.<br/><br/>Alliance Patrol Boats sometimes carry a large number of troops for short distances and while there are no bunks for them, there is a significant number of escape pods on board for that occasion. The number of escape pods (basically just man-sized tubes with a little life support and a rocket engine in back) has been reduced to save weight. The empty launch tubes can be used to store some cargo or supplies and a significant number of escape pods have been kept for safety, and also to store 'sensitive' cargo in a place where it can be shot off into space with the push of a button.<br/><br/>On the whole, the ship's layout is impractical for its current use. Taking on cargo is a pain as much of it has to be maneuvered through narrow corridors to somewhere deeper in the ship. The bridge is far too large for the needs of just one pilot. Many systems are more complex than a civilian ship would use and spare parts are hard to come by. However, The Line is fast and she is tough. She may not be armed anymore, but anything she can't outrun, she can can probably<em>outlast</em>. There<em>is</em>armor on all essential sections of the ship.<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

Generally this involves the more hands on tasks though it may be as simple as providing security during negotiations. He gets his orders from the captain, including their objective, and does his best to meet that objective.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>:Personality: Richard is a professional sort of man, always doing whatever task he is assigned to as quickly and efficiently as possible. He cares about the well being of those under him since without them, he doesn't really have a job to do, or the job becomes nearly impossible. Very little nonsense sort of guy, he will lead by example whenever things get tough.<br/>Background: Richard grew up on a rather large ranch in the outer rim area of the 'verse. Being a child of the so called Rancher Barons of the planet, he got as good an education as possible in the Rim, having a particular interest in military history. When he turned sixteen he joined the planetary militia. While this was more of a social gathering than a military one, they did train with their weapons and tactics for a weekend every month practicing war games against the militia companies from other districts of the planet. The whole event ended with a big barbecue and party. In fact, the only time in the seven years he was a part of the militia, he only saw combat once, when he was called out to investigate a wrecked ship. Turned out that it had been boarded by some pirates and the resulting firefight caused the ship to spin down to the planet. Somehow a trio of pirates survived, but were quickly killed by the squad of militia. It was still a scary moment for Richard, who had never seen a man die a violent death until that time.<br/><br/>When he was twenty three, his family ranch was sold. A string of thefts and bad weather left his family with only the leanest of the cattle. Taxes came due and despite his father practically begging for more time. There was enough left from the sale of the farm to set his parents up in town, but Richard and his brothers and sisters, the unmarried ones at least, simply began to drift away. Richard found work with a salvage crew for a time, but they lacked any permits whatsoever and narrowly avoided being tossed into prison. A short stint as a bodyguard put him in contact with Captain Early of the the Line and he was later hired on as the First Mate. Of course this took a bit of time to arrange and to prove he was fit for the job, but he's still here so he must be doing something right.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Richard is very professional and straightforward in what he does, whether it is on a job or off. The only time he loosens up is when he is drunk, but that does not happen often. As for his thoughts on the Independence movement, he is rather ambivalent. On one hand he knows that for all of its faults, he has the Alliance to thank for keeping his little sister alive when the medicine she needed was brought in on a supply convoy, and that without any form of government the bandits would just get worse. On the other hand however, the Alliance caused his family to lose their ranch which left his father as close to a broken man as possible and still leave him a barely functioning shell.<br/><br/>With slavery he does not have such mixed feelings. He simply doesn't care much for their situation, and in his mind they must have done something to deserve it. As a rule he dislikes seeing others treated poorly, but that is the only real issue he has with slaves. if they are treated well then he sees no issue. On the ship though, he prefers if Elfie stays out of his quarters unless there is an emergency.

The spares are exactly the same, denim pants with a loose cotton shirt. Along with that he has a duster that is getting dirtier every year and a broad brimmed cowboy hat.<br/><br/>As for the more violent items, he has a a lovely little knife with a six inch blade that he keeps around for close in work, a six shot revolver in good condition and a double barrel shotgun (one barrel atop the other, not side by side) for settling any arguments.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Relationships with other characters</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>The Line</strong> (Ship)<br/>Richard can certainly appreciate the fact that a ship will continue to work when it needs to, but he doesn't seem to have that special sort of Love for the ship that the rest of the crew does. Of course he cares about the ship but it's mainly more that the ship is his current home and source of income, rather than for any sort of personal feelings.<br/><br/><strong>Braxton Early</strong>(Captain)<br/>Early is a good captain. He pays on time and is never too unreasonable about his orders. The only problem Richard has is with the way he treats Elfie. His reasons for that are based in his dislike of seeing anybody mistreated, though he could hardly care less that she is a slave.<br/><br/><strong>Lance Daniels</strong> (Engineer)<br/>Richard respects the man, especially considering that he is responsible for keeping The Line in one piece. Since he is also one of the owners of the ship, Richard probably has him to thank for the more or less steady pay he receives.<br/><br/><strong>Keridwyn ""Keri"" Jones</strong> (Pilot)<br/>Like the engineer, Richard definitely appreciates her ability to keep him alive in space. She also has the benefit of being very easy on the eyes and is also easy to get along with.<br/><br/><strong>Mya Richone</strong> (Ships’s surgeon)<br/>A good doctor is always a blessing, doubly so when they know exactly what they are doing. Mya is a bit of a confusion for Richard though, since she is obviously from a wealthy family yet she hasn't paid off her indenture yet. Still, she is very handy to have aboard since Richard has had more close calls than he'd care to admit. Being pretty is another benefit but he hasn't made an advance because he feels that it would be wrong, like taking advantage of a woman who has passed out.<br/><br/><strong>Girias ""Cookie"" Bomban</strong> (Grunt)<br/>Girias is a bit odd, but so long as he follows orders when the lead starts firing, Richard couldn't care less. The man is very capable in a fight and is somebody that Richard would like to have at his side in any conflict.<br/><br/><strong>Sue</strong> (Cook &amp; Grunt)<br/>-No sheet- <br/><br/><strong>Philemon ""Phil"" Adricus</strong> (Scoundrel)<br/>Richard can't help but have a low opinion of con men in general, and this has biased him against Phil for some time. Since learning that Phil is ex-military though, he has been a little less biased and more accepting of how he chooses to live his life.<br/><br/><strong>Elfi</strong> (Ship’s slave)<br/>If anything, Richard pities Elfie for what the Captain does to her, but she doesn't seem to mind. His only problem with her is if she ever tried to clean his bunk, though that is born of a desire to keep his personal life as private as possible. <br/><br/><strong>Serenity Sun Kwan</strong> (Companion)<br/>Richard is in awe of the Companion on the ship,since she seems to be all the refined class and society poured into the mold of a beautiful woman. Unless it has been strictly professional, he hasn't spoken to her much<br/><br/><strong>Isobel Smith[/]<br/>Since she seems to keep mostly to herself and hasn't caused any trouble, Richard hasn't really paid much attention to her. The fact that she doesn't seem like she could cause too much trouble probably factored into this as well.<br/></strong></div></div>"

The ship itself is entirely unarmed. There are some submachine guns and a riot shotgun in a sealed locker in the armory but that's about it. There is nothing else, unless one of you guys brought it on board. In case you are interested, the captain, the pilot, the chief engineer and the first mate have<em>all</em>codes and keys for the ship. Everyone else has access to codes and areas based on their jobs. On the whole, security is not very tight, though.<br/><br/>As a rule of thumb, heavy (ship-scale) weapons are illegal wherever you go in the Verse. They are hard to hide and its generally something you don't want to get caught with. Not to mention that they are hard to obtain.<br/><br/>Handguns, rifles, shotguns and long blades are legal on many planets. Individual legislation may vary.<br/><br/>Automatic weapons, assault rifles, grenades and grenade launchers are legal to carry on some border planets and in deep space. Most ports also allow you to carry them as 'cargo' as long as they never leave the ship.<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

Also, there are nobles who wield considerable political and economic power, so calling the Alliance a democracy is far from the truth. On the whole, the Verse (even though it has futuristic technology) is socially backwards 1-2 centuries compared to modern-day earth in about every field except for women's rights.

You can play your characters any way you want, of course, but being as enlightened as you is not the norm. It is the rare exception.

Thernwood<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 25<br/><br/><strong>Position</strong>: Ex-Mercenary on the run<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Blake grew up on Lilac with her two older brothers, they were raised by their single-parent mother.  Growing up on the outskirts, surrounded by outlaws, Blake was taught to fend for herself at a very early age.  Her mother taught her how to mix potions like anaesthetics, and her brothers taught her how to fire a gun.  Her nickname while growing up was 'Little BLT'.<br/><br/>At the age of 12, the quaint little ranch that Blake lived on was pillaged by bandits, which ultimately took the lives of both her brothers.<br/><br/>Blake and her mother fled to Beaumonde.  Her mother now works in one of the many factories on the planet whereas Blake decided to take to a life of crime.  She worked as a mercenary for a couple of years, doing the odd job like petty theft or planting incriminating evidence.  It wasn't until she was 20 that things took a turn for the worse.  One of her anonymous patrons hired her to 'dispose of incriminating evidence'.  What she wasn't aware of was that the job required her to 'get rid of' the son of a wealthy aristocrat that had witnessed a previous crime by her patron.<br/><br/>Since then she has become accustomed to killing people.<br/><br/>She is currently on the run from the feds and has stowed away on ‘The Line’ to have a means of getting around.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Blake has that innocent appearance that masks her true brutal malevolent self.  She gets angry easily, but instead of lashing out she'll just smile at you and wait until you're vulnerable to strike, sometimes even waiting for days before getting her revenge.  The only time she'll ever yell at someone is if they call her 'Little BLT', as it reminds her of her deceased brothers.  Blake isn't afraid to talk to strangers, but she hates being talked down to.  She has an inferiority complex. Sometimes she has trouble articulating sentences.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/><strong>1)</strong> Blake has an inferiority complex, and I would love to see her being talked down to and getting into a fight with one of the more 'sophisticated' characters.  [Or just anyone in general]<br/><br/><strong>2)</strong> Blake and Sue mocking each other over their names. <br/><br/><strong>3)</strong> Intimately-wise, I want to find a way to slip in that Blake is a virgin and see where that takes things. <br/><br/>Ultimately she is just using the crew and the ship as a means of transport while she is keeping under radar, but hopefully something changes and encourages her to stay on the ship. <br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 3</td><td>Presence 2</td><td>Knowledge 3</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 4</td><td>Manipulation 2</td><td>Wits 2</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 4</td><td>Composure 1</td><td>Perception 2</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Brawl 1<br/>Dodge 2<br/>Gunslinger 2<br/>Rifle 2<br/><br/>Stealth 2<br/>Athletics 2<br/>Alertness 2<br/>Survival 1 <br/>Driving 2<br/><br/>Intimidation 1<br/><br/>Toxicology 2<br/>Medic 2<br/>Petty Crime 2<br/><br/>Pain Tolerance 2<br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Views and Opinions</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Slavery:</strong> Blake is against the idea of 'owning another person'.  Growing up poor and troubled, she hated how the rich believed that just because they have the moolah that they can put a price on another human being. But ultimately it comes down to how the person is being treated.  <br/><br/><strong>Sex:</strong> As a virgin, and a prudent one at that, Blake disagrees with the act of sleeping with someone for money or fun.  She believes people should treat their bodies with respect and only engage in physical embrace with someone that they actually have feelings for.  Which is why she is against Serenity's profession as a companion, but still likes her as a person.<br/>'But hey, if yer want to whore around with folk yer hardly even know then be my guest.'<br/><br/><strong>Alliance:</strong> Blake is pro-independence, she doesn't like how the Alliance are running things and thinks if each planet had their own laws and views, one of them has got to suit her better than the ones running the verse now.<br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Equipment</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Holstered to her hips she has a LeMat Revolver and a Colt Python, she also owns a Winchester 1892 and a Dragunov sniper rifle.<br/><br/>Blake also carries around a pouch full of cloves, and is usually seen chewing on them as 'My mom always told me that these things 'ere are good for ya.' She uses them in her potion making as they can be used as an anesthetic and antiseptic [of course she doesn't use these words].<br/><br/>Blake has 5 main poisons mixed from a variety of herbs:<br/>'Pain Pain go away' [Anesthetic]<br/>'Potty Mouth' [Laxative]<br/>'Now you see me, now you don't' [Temporary vision impairment]<br/>'Freeze' [Paralysis]<br/>'Death' [Toxic]<br/><br/></div></div><br/>edit: added views and opinions"

Just a part of folks figuring out the rules of living together in a cramped space.<br/><br/>Also, Elfi isn't<em>THE</em>problem. At least she's not for Keri. Keri is angry because she has no interest in being forced to watched the Captain's (or anyone else's) sexual escapades. They're more than welcome to have them, she just doesn't think she should have to sit by quietly and watch. She signed on to be a<em>pilot</em>not an audience member. She's also annoyed that the Captain and Serenity couldn't just ignore each other for one gorram meal. She thinks it shows incredibly bad manners on both their parts and is actually disappointed in them because she expects people who were raised in better situations than her own to behave better. Part of why she's pissed is because she actually thinks the way the Captain is acting is<em>beneath him</em>.<br/><br/>As for mutiny...she'd never side with it. She might be pissed at Braxton's bad manners at dinner but that will blow over as fast as it sparked and the second someone drew a gun on him they'd find her own aimed at them, or (and she'd prefer it this way) her blade at their throats. She wasn't challenging his authority, just expressing her anger for his actions at dinner. If he gives a direct order, she'll follow it.<br/><br/>In a way her fit is a compliment to the Captain. She feels safe and comfortable enough under his authority to express her anger at something he's doing. And while she stormed off (and told him to wash his hands before coming onto the bridge again) she neither threatened him or to disobey an order. She has come to consider<em>The Line</em>her home and such Braxton and Lance (having been the ones to hire her and the ones she's been with the longest) have unconsciously become a sort of extended family for her. She just treated Braxton like she would an older brother who should know how to act better! lol"

Early = As the captain and his boss, he has the utmost respect for him and will obey his every word, even deeds that clash fundamentally with Girias. But the moment he talks about firing Girias or cheating him out of his cut of the money, all respect will be thrown out of the window.<br/><br/>Keridwyn ""Keri"" Jones = He admires her for how she places the crew above all else, like family, though he is scared by her intelligence. Her thirst for adventure is something that does work for the better, as he enjoys combat and exciting situations just as much.<br/><br/>Mya Richone = He hates her for her intelligence, yet enjoys the fact that she serves the crew. Girias will often not acknowledge her presence or her words on purpose, mostly to annoy her and to remind her of her place.<br/><br/>Serenity Sun Kwan = Girias is disgusted by the fact that she, as a companion, possibly sleeps with people for money.  He himself sticks to monogamous relationships with proper women (slaves and servants aren't considered as proper women). He will often insult her due to her profession.<br/><br/>Elfi = He will not recognize her existence, except when she has done something to upset him. He will threaten her in case he's mad but he will generally not harm her, because she's the captain's property. He recognizes and respects the captain's hold over Elfi as her owner and will agree with whatever he wants to do with her.<br/><br/>Philemon ""Phil"" Adricus = He enjoys Phil's sense of freedom and has a fondness for his past as a poor citizen. The only things that makes Girias want to punch him in the face is when he debates slavery and when he's doing his special tricks. Because of his sleight of hand, Girias always mistrusts Phil when it comes to money and other possesions.<br/><br/>Lance Daniels = Girias dislikes him because of his past, upbringing and apparent lack of willing to do any hard labor. It annoys him to the point of wanting to hurt him when he's just relaxing instead of doing anything useful.<br/><br/>Richard Dawson = Girias respects the chain of command and considers him the only person besides the captain he'll actually listen to. His discipline and professionalism is something Girias trusts because he trusts Richard will never abuse his power to punish him, another reason why he will obey the man.<br/><br/>Sue = Girias likes the way he talks and amuses himself thusly. He respects his past profession as a hired gun and muscle. His loyalty to the money, his love for alcohol and his cooking skills also make him better in Girias' eyes. This is mostly why Sue is probably the person he'll get along with the best.<br/><br/>-<br/>So yeah, I'm basically playing Girias as the guy who barely gets along with everyone and will insult and threaten everyone to get out of his way. So either you'll annoy your brains out, or you'll enjoy the way this kind of breaks the roleplay. :p<br/><br/>Also, I'm having troubles with putting a picture in my posts ...

I don't really want to impose an order, but I will use it in case we have another large group of players present in the same scene (and of course for combat). Also, I will try to organize things so that the story demands that you split up more often, to make smaller, more dynamic groups. Not everyone has to participate in storyline 'quests', either. For example, a couple could sneak away for some sexytime while the others investigate or scrounge for spare parts.<br/><br/><br/>On Shadow, Vergil said he is sending Serenity to visit a client. It will (probably) not have much to do with the main storyline. If anyone feels he has too much energy/time and could use some more play, how about you play her client? Or, if you know someone who is not part of the roleplay but who would like a one-shot, that would be the time to jump in.

done something like this before.  It's hard!</em><br/><br/><strong>Previously on <em>The Line</em></strong><br/><br/><em>The Line</em>, a former Alliance patrol boat<em>cum</em>merchant, is en route to the planet of Shadow.  Her cargo, one hundred tons of steel sheeting, is destined for the canneries there.  The trip is expected to take two days.  The ship’s name,<em>The Line</em>, is a direct reflection of her master’s prickly position on his rights.  Braxton would sooner die than give up his ship and backs that sentiment up with action.<br/><br/><em>The Line </em>also carried a passenger this leg of the trip, Isobel Smith.  She’s a little slip of a thing, five foot nothing and dresses like a working stiff for all she claims to be a tourist.  Isobel doesn’t talk much but doesn’t miss much either.<br/><br/>Philemon thought he heard Elfi talking to someone, but she lied to hide her little secret and he didn’t press it even though he knew she was not being truthful with him.<br/><br/>Ace Pilot Keri had just cleared atmo and steered<em>The Line</em>past the inevitable space junk a planet collected when dinner was served.  She noted a smattering of traffic in the lanes, but dismissed them as the usual merchants.  Despite her reputation as a daredevil pilot, she kept an eye on them just in case they turned out to be pirates.<br/><br/>Sue cooked up his famous Beef ‘n Peppers Minus the Beef dish and didn’t spill a drop on his frilly pink apron.  The entire ship gathered for once, no one being busy on a job or ‘bating in their bunk over what they’d like to do to the Companion, and it promised to be a happy meal.<br/><br/>Keri stunned everyone with an unusual for her dress but was soon eclipsed by Serenity’s outfit.  No one could ever draw an inside straight when playing against the Companion’s style and beauty.<br/><br/>The Companion started to draw Isi out, flattering her with a comparison to an Egyptian goddess.  Her gentle questions and disarming ways would have made an Alliance interrogation expert whistle with envy.  Still, Isi deflected the suspicion easily.<br/><br/>First Mate Richard took a rare moment of down time from his constant work to join everyone in the galley.  Ever the gentleman, he kept up his tradition of referring to Mya as Doctor instead of treating her with the disregard most used on account of her status as an indentured servant.  He was anticipating and worrying about another showdown between Braxton and Serenity and was determined to keep the peace.<br/><br/>Mya, always hot and bothered by Braxton, was invited to sit next to the ship’s master during dinner.  Captain Early was being more than polite it turned out.  He wanted to have a little fun with his girl who couldn’t say no and liked to be forced to say yes.  She was a little grumpy about someone going through the supplies in Sick Bay and not putting them back, but that concern faded as soon as she felt Braxton’s hand on her thigh.<br/><br/>Engineer Lance Daniels, always a wizard with his hands, expeditiously fixed a minor but dangerous airlock malfunction.  He took up a seat near Keri on account of how she looked in the dress and so he wouldn’t have to sit near Mya and Braxton.<br/><br/>As usual, Sue’s cooking and easy manner brought him many warm comments from<em>The Line</em>’s denizens.  He might have a girl’s name and wear absurd aprons, but the man could cook.  On a ship with a limited variety of food, his talents were well appreciated by all.  He’d even secured some fizzy champagne to toast the voyage, though his inclusion of Elfi irked Braxton sorely.  It proved to be justified on his part, as the girl got a little tipsy and spilled some soup on Isi.  The First Mate avoided an immediate problem with Braxton and his property by smoothly intervening and disarming the situation.  The man was invaluable in so many ways.<br/><br/>As everyone expected, trouble soon brewed between the Captain and the Companion.  Serenity used Braxton’s lecture about not putting ideas in people’s head as a barb against him, then disengaged as easily as some skinned a smoke wagon and took her leave.<br/><br/>Braxton got Mya plenty damp between her thighs with his touches during the meal, and though he made at least an effort to politely hide it, few at the table missed the arousing action.  Not being able to protest, and the humiliation of it happening publicly, was a powerful spur to the Doctor’s libido and would have been quite lovely to see though most took offense to it happening at the dinner table.<br/><br/>Keri was the first to call Braxton out on his sexual shenanigans, and let the Captain have it with a Chinese insult and a reminder to wash his hands before touching her console.  She left for the bridge and was so irked she didn’t even finish Sue’s fine meal.<br/><br/>Phil, a peacemaker in his own way, followed after the Pilot but didn’t chase.<br/><br/>The Engineer enjoyed the tension between everyone and played the right fine sophisticated man he was with his comments and the fancy way he drank his champagne.  People tended to think that because he worked with his hands, he was common.  Lance was anything but common.<br/><br/>Then Sue started the showdown.  He took command of the galley like it was his ship and dismissed the passenger before getting down to brass tacks and wasted no time tossing his All In wager into the middle of the table.  He didn’t like how the Captain was acting and told Braxton what Sue wanted him to do.  It was a bold move and as close to mutiny as you could get and still have a neck.<br/><br/>Braxton called the move with his heavy revolver and placed it right fine out on the table for everyone to see.  He wasn’t intimidated at all and wasn’t about to take orders from anyone on his ship.  He told Sue how the cow ate the cabbage and told him to walk away and go to his quarters.<br/><br/>Richard and Lance looked ready to back the Captain’s play.<br/><br/>Sue, as fine a gentleman as he was a cook, responded with aplomb and while he didn’t quite back down and cower, neither did he push it until the matter could only be settled by lead.  He left the galley and reminded Braxton of his social duties and courtesies as a fellow gentleman.<br/><br/>Richard left soon thereafter for Serenity’s shuttle, but not before Lance intercepted him and expressed concern about having an intoxicated Captain piloting the ship the Engineer took such good care of.  He also bade Mya to give the Captain what he needed and to wear him out in the bunk as best she could.<br/><br/>All in all, a fine meal served without a side of gunplay.  Everyone went home, if not happy, then alive.<br/><br/><br/>"

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!<br/><br/>And thank you Caela for collecting all the character sheets! Unfortunately, I'm afraid you will have to take the posts down again. I don't have administrative priviledges, so I can't edit the posts you made and neither can the other players. It will probably be impractical if everyone has to go to you if they want something changed. I<em>am</em>thinking about centrally managing all characters so I have a better overview and there are no mistakes/cheating but even then I would have to be the one to make the posts, not you. Sorry about that, but you must take the posts down again (unless someone here knows if it is possible for me to get admin rights in the thread, that would be awesome!). But I assure you, it is the thought that counts.<br/><br/>Anyhow, before I/we post the characters, I would like to give everyone the chance to make changes to their characters if they want to. Maybe a little tweak to the personality description or an update the relationship section? Also now that you have 'gotten to know' your character better, maybe you want to switch around a few attribute or skill points to better reflect your new image of him or her. No dice have been rolled so far whatsoever, so that is not cheating, just adjusting.<br/><br/>When you are done revising your character, there is also the issue of experience points. As you know, this<em>is</em>a system game despite the lack of dice so far and each of you will get a handful of points to raise skills and attributes and propell you on your way to becomming<em>big damn heroes</em>. I will hand out XP tomorrow, if time permits, and you can spend them immediately.<br/><br/><br/>Also, as announced, the end of the trip is an opportunity for new people to come on board. We have 3 new applicants, two of which are already approved. They are people you will meet on Shadow and who will fly with us for a while.<br/><br/>On a related notion, now is also the best time to retire a character, permanently or temporarily. For example, if you know that real life will be pressing down hard on you in the next few weeks, now is the chance to take a leave of absence. I guarantee you that you will be welcome on board again when you come back and we will like you more for bowing out at the right moment then we would like you for sparse and lackluster posting due to lack of time.<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus<br/>"

This allows the story to proceed unhindered and the couple has as much time as they want to play out their dalliance in Private messages.

However, I would really like to keep things strictly linear and this would be a way to do it. If we split things up in threads, then there is action going on in a dozen places and no one is sure what happens when. Of course, using a private thread instead of PMs sounds acceptable. My main point is that these 'Elastic Time' actions are basically finished, even though they are not yet written. The involved players have agreed on an outcome and they have to stick with it because the others already used that as a guideline if things have changed or not.<br/><br/>And yes, once we are planetside, we will probably have to split threads. For example, Serenity will surely need one as might some others. However, I am<em>not</em>a fan of place-based threads. They should be based on scenes instead, which usually implies a location<em>and</em>a time, and the time is the more important factor. For example, a team could be looking for a stowaway all over the ship. They will visit all rooms, but the more important factor is that all these visits are closely tied together in time and purpose. they should be in one thread, not all over the place. As a counterexample, if we had a 'Galley' thread, then our very tense social situation with near mutiny would land in it - but so would Sue throwing Elfi over his kitchen table a week later and rutting on her something fierce. Even though the place is the same, clearly, there is no real connection.<br/><br/>But I am putting this out here so it can be discussed. If anyone has further thought and input, I would appreciate it.<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

I just think people having a thread for their private interactions (not always sex, could just be conversations, or even outright arguments) makes sense since you don't always know where you're characters are going to lead you once you start something. I personally won't agree on the outcome of a scene beforehand because I can't guarantee it'll happen the way I'm planning. I can agree to a basic direction, but the full outcome...no, I give my characters more freedom to play than that.<br/><br/>Would anyone have thought a simple dinner would have come so close to a near mutiny?<br/><br/>As for timing, it would be easy enough to label it. Example, on the Planet thread, a simply opening post stating which planet we're landing on, for what purpose, and we could give it an arrival date. No need for extra threads for each planet, just a new header each time we land on a new one. Scenes on the ship could be similarly labeled and could have a time a location in our own character headers.<br/><br/>I wouldn't want so many threads that people couldn't keep track of what's happening, games that do that tend to end up so diffuse that they grind to a halt.

I just think people having a thread for their private interactions (not always sex, could just be conversations, or even outright arguments) makes sense since you don't always know where you're characters are going to lead you once you start something. I personally won't agree on the outcome of a scene beforehand because I can't guarantee it'll happen the way I'm planning. I can agree to a basic direction, but the full outcome...no, I give my characters more freedom to play than that.<br/><br/>Would anyone have thought a simple dinner would have come so close to a near mutiny?<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>You have a good argument. That was an unexpected and most interesting turn of events!<br/><br/>However, there is also another side to it. Imagine, for example, Keri having a sex scene with Sue. In the heat of the moment (and because the sex was so awesome) they decide to get married right on the spot and run off in one of the shuttles. This action has so far-reaching consequences that they will invalidate the posts that have been made in the meantime by other players or even yourselves and break the story. I suggest to put up a rough outcome for the scene to keep these consequences limited in scope and to let the other players know where to go to from there. If, for example, Keri got so pissed with Sue that she shot him, that would break the story. If she only decided that she was 'done with men for good', then that would probably not matter too much for the posts that had been made already. Both characters would still be around and ready for action in the morning. So there still<em>is</em>some freedom of play.<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

Basically your character drops-in, says his piece and leaves. I know its not perfect and it takes away the other player's chance to respond. So its god-modding in a way.

Basically the captain will send you out to investigate the problem and hopefully someone takes care of it.

This quiet time of joy came to an end when she was kidnapped by parties unknown even to the Guild.<br/><br/>Sophie thinks that perhaps two years passed in the Academy.  It was a place of intensity and rigorous work but if you asked her she could not say quite what she did there.  She does recall learning the arts of pleasing men and woman with her wit and body.  All this ended when she was rescued by a man named Sue.  He was partnered with a familiar looking woman who died during her rescue from the Facility.  Sue and his partner were paid to rescue her by a woman who called herself Sophie's aunt.<br/><br/>Sophie and her aunt Elissa moved about quite often in the three months or so that they lived together.  Her aunt never really explained much about why she had Sophie rescued or even how she was actually Sophie’s aunt.  Sophie was curious of course but was told not to worry about it and happily spent her time reading and letting her aunt perform all kinds of fun games and tests with her.<br/><br/>This all ended when Sophie was sent away rather hurriedly to visit her 'uncle' Sue on a ship.  Sophie noticed a fire and explosions in her block as she left but thought nothing of it.  When she arrived on the ship she threw herself at her handsome uncle and into the fascinating crew of her new home.<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/c/c4/Sophie_Standing.jpg/170px-Sophie_Standing.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Sophie is almost a stereotypical nymph.  She is uninhibited and exhibitionist and loves the company of men and woman.  She is docile, curious, flirtatious, constantly, insatiably horny, and eager to please.  Sophie is not at all shy.  Quite beautiful in a youthful way she looks to be no more than 16 years old but a very sexy 16.  She flips between different submissive stereotypes (slave, pet, daughter, nymph) and periods of being ""normal.""<br/><br/>Sophie finds that she likes a strong, dominant hand and eagerly seeks out those who can take 'care' of her.  A natural submissive she is willing to be talked or pushed into just about any situation.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>I would like to see Sophie flirt, flit and have fun throughout the ship.  She should provide a sexy comic relief interspersed with serious interactions with others.  There will be strange flashes of something else deep inside.<br/><br/>I would like to have opportunities to explore her hidden sides related to her training.  This would be entirely GM driven.<br/><br/>Lastly I would like to see her used and dominated by whoever finds her attractive.<br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>I love the scenes of dominance and mastery.  I hope to find daddies, uncles and masters who will teach me the ways of womanhood.  Violence up to a point is exciting and especially as part of 'play'.<br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> attributes and skills</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 1</td><td>Presence 4</td><td>Knowledge 1</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 1</td><td>Manipulation 2</td><td>Wits 1</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 1</td><td>Composure 1</td><td>Perception 2</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Melee   Archery   Throwing   Brawl   Dodge   Gunslinger   Rifles   Heavy weapons<br/>Stealth 2  Athletics   Alertness   Survival   Riding   Driving<br/>Empathy 1  Subterfuge   Intimidation   Socialize 2  Seduction 4  Etiquette 1<br/>Medic   Merchant   Pilot   Mechanic   Hacking   Petty crime <br/>Pain-Tolerance    Spacer <br/>House keeping 1<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> equipment</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/>Sophie has a number small number of teen sci fi and romance books as well as a fair collection of dresses and other scandalous clothing.  She also possesses a surprisingly sophisticated communications unit that she on which she mainly plays games and watches videos.  The comm unit is heavily encrypted should anyone investigate it closely.<br/></div></div>"

But I would personally prefer if people didn't look too much to the 'past'. It might really mess things up. However, a scene with 'everyone is on the ship' will certainly happen again, and soon. If your writer's finger feels itchy, how about you find a partner with whom you write out a scene in private. And then, when the ship lifts off from Shadow, you can just post your prepared scene? Of course this reverses the problem. If one of you gets wounded on Shadow, for example, it might invalidate what you have written. But if it is a more or less 'generic' scene that only needs the ship and the people involved, I'm sure there will be a time where it will fit into the roleplay.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote""><a href=""https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=157589.msg7256737#msg7256737"">Quote from: vin26m on 21-11-2012, 12:05:28</a></div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">Do you have an approximate deadline for the activities on Shadow?  Something like everyone should end up back on the ship after Shadow activities a week from now?<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>Such things are very hard to predict and it really depends on how you handle the problems I'm going to put in front of you.

Of course the captain will spring into action before that, but one never knows. I left the choice of who does what to the players to give you some more freedom. But I'm really hoping that someone will take care of the task. Obviously, Cookie has all but volunteered in a very nice 'I am the badass' post, but I think he will need a social component to help him.<br/><br/>I think it would be realistic for Sue to take care of Sophie first. He probably can't think of nothing else right now.  But maybe Phil or Richard could go along and if orderNchaos wants to take Mya, that'd be a good chance for her to show the other side of her personality. I might bring the captain as well, as it wouldn't be too unrealistic for him to take matters in his own hands.

Clearly, it can't just be the cold hydrogen-oxygen burning that we call 'fuel cells' today, as this reaction has a far too low power density. In the series, we see Wash returning from a refueling run with a pair of large shipping boxes to Serenity, so we know its not much in volume. This is also confirmed by the fact that none of the official deckplans contain large fuel tanks.<br/><br/>So I am guessings its a kind of fusion reaction and, because we know that the fuel is not free as 'H+H' fusion would be, I am assuming it to be the technologically simpler He<sub>3</sub>+De<sub>2</sub>reaction.<br/><br/>As a result, the fuel for The Line consists of (relatively) small amounts of gasses, namely Helium 3 and Deuterium (heavy hydrogen). Both are not common in nature, though He<sub>3</sub>is by far the pricier of the components. It has a tendency to escape to space if there is soil erosion as you will find on any terraformed planet or moon. Consequently, it has to be mined in vacuum, on asteroids and other smaller celestial bodies.<br/><br/>You can probably fit both tanks on the back of the cargo mule when making the fuel run. The stuff is not cheap and easy to fence due to the large number of potential buyers, so you might want to look out for bandits...<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

However, Sue has the hover until he posts about returning with it. The town is actually in walking distance, so the captain doesn't need any transport and you guys can take the wheeled mule. Alternatively, it doesn't have to be a mule: Serenity took her shuttle but the other one is at your disposal. It can certainly carry the goods, though it needs a bit of free ground to land and will certainly draw more attention than a mule.<br/><br/>And I agree, the captain would prefer the ship to stay on planet while he is down there. He probably trusts Keri, Lance or Richard to leave with the ship and not to leave him stranded, but not Sue (at the moment, at least). Also there is his personal preference for always having a 'getaway vehicle' close by.<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

You can also save some or all of them for later.<br/><br/>New skills can be bought, though some skills might need a justification for you to pick them up.

Yes no?<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>Wrong on both counts (however its correct that raising attributes cost 3 times raising skills). The cost to raise a skill is (new level) in XP. So in the Gunslinger case, the new level is 2. Raising from 1 to 2 would therefore cost 2 XP.<br/><br/>In the Wits case, the new level is 4 and it is an attribute which triples cost. Raising wits from 3 to 4 therefore costs 4x3=12 XP.<br/><br/>To give an example for buying a skill you didn't have at all: Braxton bought seduction, which he didn't know before. The first point is cheap: It is raising a skill from 0 to 1. The new level is 1. It costs 1 XP. He then raised it to 2, paying 2 XP. Note that the total cost to bring the skill from 0 to 2 was 3 XP.

But in my ruleset they do not (mainly because I would have to use the dicebot twice). I understand that exploding 10s allow for unexpected success with a low skill, but I thought it was too much work to do a reroll.<br/><br/>I did a few rolls in my post mainly to show people the system at work. It was not really neccessary to do the seduction roll, for example. We got by fine without any dice in the first episode, after all. However, things are going to get interesting soon with a real opposition, so I wanted to remind people that we have a system and how it works.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote""><a href=""https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=157589.msg7271324#msg7271324"">Quote from: kckolbe on 24-11-2012, 11:24:45</a></div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">Also, should I have let you do the driving roll?<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>You do not have to roll for 'routine', every day tasks like that. Only when success is critical and not guaranteed do we break out the dice. You are exeptional people. As a rule of thumb, anything a man from the street could accomplish, you can do without a roll. Similarly, if you have Lance fixing some minor technical problem, he doesn't need to roll dice because he is a real expert at engineering. It's routine for him, even though other characters might have to roll in the same situation. I won't define here exactly when to roll and when not to, because its impossible to cover all cases. Just use common sense.<br/><br/>Also, please remember this is 'systemic freeform'. So if you expect opposition, maneuver your character into the situation but stop just short of the results. If you are going for intimidate, strike a posture, load your gun and make a threat. If you are going to shoot, aim for the guy's head and pull the trigger. But don't talk about results. I will make the roll and then post the results of your action.<br/><br/>An alternative is to not know the results yourself (yet), like Sue did. He snooped around and later reported without specifying what he had seen. This will only work in some situations of course, but I think it was well done by him.<br/><br/>Also, in some combat situations, I will roll several rounds of fighting at once (until a major hit occurs for example) to speed things along. Nothing worse for a forum roleplay than to have to wait for an endless back and forth of attacks and parries.<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

We are not sitting in a circle around a table with books and dice and not everyone can respond immediately. I was away over the weekend and when I came back, there was a flood of posts and it took me a day just to catch up. I remember we ran over Keri a while ago when she was overwhelmed in RL and now you got passed by. I'm sorry for that.<br/><br/>On the other hand, we can't wait for every small interaction to take place or this roleplay will just<em>die</em>. Serenity waited more than a week on Innocence and<em>everyone</em>waited about a week on Phil. CurvyKitten is still waiting, as far as I know, because the people who wanted to talk to her are no-shows. The problem is that people who feel the itch to write but can't will get bored. They will find another roleplay because this one is going slow, and then their interest shifts and maybe they won't be coming back. I have seen it happen often enough.<br/><br/>I agree that Vin made a mistake in stating what Lance was doing when just maybe he was actually fooling around with Sophie or something else you wanted to write about.<br/><br/>Moving the ship was perfectly fine in my opinion. The move was announced over a week ago so everyone knew what was coming. The execution itself was admittedly fast with Vin and Caela in a writing fury. But we have to remember this is tiny hop from just outside of town to the landing pad at the factory. It took about five minutes of In-Character time.<br/><br/><br/>In the final analysis, we need to find a way to make this work. Obviously people have different posting speeds and this is becoming a problem, especially in wide open social situations. I<em>really </em>don't like using a posting order because this will slow down the play to a crawl. In the future, I will try to asign tasks that need a lot of work to people who write fast but that won't solve the 'social situation' problem. A bit of elastic time will be necessary here. People can do things in parallel even if it is not written about in RL-parallel time. Of course, I don't want the roleplay to drift apart too far in time but a little time-shifting is no problem, especially if it is done in a seperate thread.<br/><br/>A while ago I proposed regularly dropping a thread and starting a new one but there were voices against that. So here is a new proposal: We could use the 'The Line' thread for things that happen on the ship and that have little impact on the storyline. In your posts there, just assume that the ship is<em>somewhere</em>unspecified, no one leaves the ship and don't specify a date/time/place. These encounters can then be played out parallel to the main 'story' and may give a chance for players who are itching to write to vent some steam. What do you guys think?<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

class=""floatleft"">(http://www.pulsarecard.com/data/media/512/Keira_Knightley_0046_1600x1200_Wallpaper.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name</strong>: Cassie Greenway<br/><em>Birth Name</em>: Alexis Cassandra Marissa Davenport Montclair<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 25<br/><br/><strong>Position</strong>: Passenger<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Alexis was born on Ariel, her father a wealthy merchant, and her mother a high-society lady.  She had the best money could buy, right from the day she was born: the finest clothes, the best food, the greatest minds in the 'Verse, all at her fingertips because of her father's money.  Even her education was the best money could buy.<br/><br/>On top of that, her father paid for her to have defensive training from a young age.  Her teacher ran her through many weapons, but the ones that fit her the most appropriately for close combat was the 18th Century Scottish dirk, and the 14th Century French rapier.  She picked up the skills to properly defend herself with these weapons rather quickly, even though no other weapon seemed at home in her hands.<br/><br/>Also a product of her father's influence was her interest in other archaic weapons, and their more modern equivalents.  The most intriguing to her was the crossbow, a weapon that could punch through even some of the wall construction nowadays.  So her father went out, and bought her one, and helped her learn how to operate, maintain, and care for it.<br/><br/>Everything went swimmingly for her, even getting her own account with her father's money at the age of sixteen.  But it was all just a cover, as he was already making plans to marry her off to another merchant, one that was struggling slightly.  Of course, the money offered was the real reason the chosen man, one Oscar Demrin, even accepted the offer, but her father had other ideas.  He had been subtly pushing things this way and that to make the man's business flounder, and had already set plans in place for one final push once his daughter was married off to Oscar, to cause his business to crumble, causing him to need either bailing out or a method of staying afloat.<br/><br/>It almost worked.  But Alexis overheard her father speaking of his plans one night to another of his associates, and resolved that she wouldn't be just a pawn in his attempt to acquire more property.  So she cleaned out her account, and bought passage as soon as possible off Ariel.  She's been hopping from planet to planet, running in on the end of her money now finally, after four years on the run, barely managing to stay one step ahead of the people her father was hiring to bring her back to make her submit to his desires, and finish up his plan.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Headstrong, stubborn, and a fiery temper to match meant that even if her father's plan had succeeded, Alexis wouldn't have just sat still.  She believes very strongly that those as have the means should help those that don't, even if that means giving of hard-earned money and making things a bit shorter for yourself.  Various donations made to the hospitals on Ariel in her name, signed by her, show just how much charity she actually has, even though the money wasn't technically hers to do that with.  Her father's approval meant little to her, save a means to an end.  She wanted to know what was out there, and her father's money made that a little simpler for her.  Once she learned of the plan, though, her mind was made up, and she took off, refusing to be part of something so underhanded.  With a penchant for honesty, even now Alexis chafes having to lie, never knowing where her father's informants might be next, or if the people she's talking to at any moment might not be on his payroll, and immediately run off and tell him where she is.  Cautious now, more caution than she'd ever shown in her life is called for, and she's doing her very best to avoid notice.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> player information</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Scenes

And you don't have to be 'unique' or satisfy some skillset. Vin's suggestions are just that, suggestions. They might help you 'steal the show' once in a while by being the only one who can pull off a certain stunt but nothing more. The ship could fly without you up to now, so any skills you bring are optional. They might change your hiring options, though. A character without shipboard skills will have to fly as a passenger, stowaway or slave. A character with useful skills can hire on as a mate. Either way, there can be a place for you on the ship.<br/><br/>The only thing that I demand is logical consistency. You can get there with a small rewrite, if you want to keep your character concept. It might be easier, though, to do a fresh start but that is up to you.<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

I will make some suggestions to improve on it. All but the 'rules' one are optional.<br/><br/>Rules:<br/>You are 2 points over budget in attributes. Values of 4 and 5 are more expensive, with a value of 4 costing 5 points and a value of 5 costing 7 points. That is the most likely cause of the error.<br/><br/>Skills (general):<br/>You have very combat&action oriented skills. This is not D&D. In a month of roleplaying, not a single shot has been fired. This will probably change, but combat is not the main focus of the game. All in all, we don't use the dice all that often.<br/><br/>Skills (details):<br/>I would have expected a woman of her upbringing to know some etiquette.<br/>Survival is more of an 'outdoorsman' skill that you find on hunters, trappers and other very rural folks. But maybe Cassie was crossbow-hunting for sport, as many noble and rich folk do.<br/>People without the empathy skill tend to be awkward in social situation. But given Cassie's high perception, she can 'wing it' better than most so this is not a 'must-have'.<br/>Stealth would go very well with her current skillset.<br/><br/>Background:<br/>The Verse of Firefly has a nobility. Cassie's focus on archaic weapons and the attempt at an arranged, political marriage go right up that alley. So if you want, you can make her blue-blooded.<br/><br/>Equipment:<br/>Again, this is not D&D. Your weapons are probably some of your more important posessions but you could use that space to also define your character better. Maybe she has some pictures of someone important whom she left behind? Some memorabilia?<br/><br/><br/><br/>Some questions:<br/><br/>Is Cassie's father or her husband-to-be actively hunting her? Is there some kind of bounty to bring her back home? How bad of a thing will happen to her if she returns? Does she have the option of just returning home?<br/><br/>The job she pulled that went sour, where did it take place and who or what was the goal? And how vengeful is the target? Will someone come looking for her if one of her former teammates spills the beans or was it a 'nothing personal, just business' thing?<br/><br/>Where is Cassie now? How desperately does she need passage and can she pay?<br/><br/><br/><br/>Satan_Klaus<br/><br/>PS: The question about Shan Yu is a quote from Firefly. He was a famous sadist-philosopher. So basically, what I am asking is: How is your stance on BDSM (Character and player may answer differently, of course, to allow for non-consent scenes)."

However, the roleplay never moves as fast as planned and rushing it isn't fair to people, either. So basically, a simple 5-minute movie time interaction will drag out to about two weeks in the roleplay. That's just how things are. And we already had an almost shootout at a saloon - not to mention an almost shootout at the dinner table. We have a companion with a broken arm (I'm guessing this will also be a nice story hook in the future). So things are happening, though I think I will try to keep the action focused on groups of 2s for most of the time as these tend to move<em>much</em>more fluently than groups of 3 or more.<br/><br/>Holydays are slowing me down, but don't worry, you will get your baptism by fire real soon.<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

So if Serenity leaves now and makes a graceful exit, there is still the possibility for her to return if Vergil regains interest in a few months.<br/><br/>In general, we don't<em>need</em>a companion and a shepard for this ship to function. They are just 'extras' that happened to be on board in Firefly. I'm not sure if it is good or bad if we try to mimick the series closely. Maybe on our ship we could have a prospector instead of a companion and a bounty hunter instead of a shepard? On the one hand being close to the series gives people something familiar to see, on the other hand, it takes away some of our own creative freedom. Thoughts anyone?<br/><br/>Also, I'm not sure if I should allow full secondary characters. I'm afraid it will push the most active players even more to the forefront. On the other hand it might give us more story hooks to work on. I think it would be fine if they are meant to come along for one trip or so, but I don't want them to take the limelight away from the other players. So if you make a secondary character, don't expect to play him/her forever. There might be a story-related gruesome death in his/her near future... (or maybe we just arrive safely at his/her destination and they go off board) and you should be okay with that. Secondaries don't enjoy full 'hero' status, so they are more expendable. Think of them as redshirts (the non-hero guys in StarTreck who come along on a mission and die just to show how<em>dangerous</em>things are).<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus<br/><br/><br/>PS: Caela, the character you sent me is one point above limit in skills, but otherwise looks fine.<br/>PPS: The Line has a huge and powerful searchlight installed in its bow turret where the cannon used to be.

When they use them in 'Firefly' they have an extra scene where they test for reception. Although Firefly has spaceships, the border worlds are weirdly low-tech. Maybe its cultural preference or maybe good radios are hard to maintain without the high-tech of the core worlds. Either way, it's unusual for a person to have one. I suppose there are enough short-range radios on the ship for everyone, but unless someone specifically states that he is carrying a radio, he won't.<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

It was aboiut courtesy more than speed, and specifically applied to everyone in a large group setting like a meal. I was feeling very god-modded at the time, not because anyone moved my character, but because people interacting and then rushing off left me with so few choices that they might as well have moved her.<br/><br/>Too fast can be just as bad as too slow. I think we need to find a balance with our characters not just make decisions based on the faster or slower writers. We all have times when those terms can applly to us. KC was writing very quickly when we started but now work is keeping him busy and the Lance posts have slowed. RL is just a bitch sometimes.<br/><br/>I personally enjoy writing more than one character. I tend to have more than one in most of my group games. As long as a person isn't biting off more than they can chew, and is willing to fade them to the background so the game can continue those times when RL does become hinky, I've never really seen it become a problem. I have found it enriches a game, stretches writers imaginations, and offers up more possibilities for interactions between writers.<br/><br/>That being said, it IS also more work for the GM to keep track of everyone and can allow for things to spin a bit out of control. I'll be content with whatever the final call is regardless.

So it takes exactly 100 trips. Not saying you have to play them all out, but it will probably take over an hour even if you work hard at it with two mules.<br/><br/>The line doesn't carry explosives as part of her standard equipment. But if I remember correctly, you took the explosives skill so you can cook something up. There are a lot of dangerous things on board. An incendiary is the easiest to make, but if you sacrifice ammunition for powder, a pipe bomb could be made in a few minutes. With more time, you can cook up something more elegant, but I presume you want to have something on hand quickly.<br/><br/>Note that so far, no screwing over has taken place. The warehouse overseer just insists that all the goods are in his possession before he signs the goods received form.

And I guess my here is my two cents.<br/><br/>When it comes to posting speed.<br/>I know when you left waiting for someone to post it sucks. And people quickly lose interest. I have had great deal of my rps die do to that very reason. Perhaps we should make a rule. Say if someone doesn't post in a scene for three days and people are held in limbo, then they are skipped for a round and people proceed to post. Now if they post and say Hey I'm being held up for Blah reason then we can give a bit of extra time. As RL does happen. That way we don't have people waiting for a week or even more, and it will give a few days for people to work up a post or inform people of issues. I've had this in other threads and it has helped keep it alive and moving forward.<br/><br/>Also Time skips can help jump start something. Have it skip to the next day or what ever chosen time. Yes some scenes will fade to black but it can also encourage new scenes to begin. Fluid time is also a possibility, keeping track of who is where and when with the tags. If one scene gets stuck, the player can start something new in another time slot and keep rping. And the slower scene can finish at what ever rate it wants to. It means people have to keep track of the times. But it is possible.<br/><br/>As for second characters.<br/>I think they are a great options, though if they are just going to end up dead I will not be making one. I put a lot of time and effort into my characters. And don't want to do that knowing they will just be killed off or just dropped off after only a short play time. It is a option, not everyone has to take it. I'm ok with playing more than one character. I wouldn't take it on if I couldn't handle it, that simple. It could fill out our ranks, give more PC's to bounce and rp your characters with and add twists to the story. I'm willing to play a random NPC if you need it. But to put the time and effort I do into a full pc just to watch it die in a gruesome death or only allowed to play for a short while is kind of pointless.<br/><br/>Question, with Caela making a another character will it just be killed off or dropped off somewhere eventually as well?<br/><br/>Anyway that is my two cents...lolz. Don't mean anything bad, just my view point. Hopefully we find some way to keep this RP going because I actually do enjoy it and would really like to get into the thick of it."

With the ship shut up tight they're likely pretty safe for the most part so she can either start hollering at Lance while klaxons blare, or she can hop them over the town, take the risk on the roll and it's possible resulting damage and issues for everyone. :D<br/><br/>I know what my vote is, but this could effect everyone so I'd like some opinions before I make a final choice.

Interests:</strong>Hanzo is a master in both unarmed combat (including punches, kicks, grappling, dodging) and armed combat (particularly with the sword, spear, sai, staff and nunchuku), and is an expert with throwing weapons (shuriken) and bows.  He is extraordinarily athletic (able to climb, swim and jump better than most people), stealthy (moving silently and hiding in shadows) and observant (detecting enemies and searching for people or objects).<br/><br/>He has a little experience with firearms, but owns none and prefers not to use them anyway.<br/><br/>He is fluent in Mandarin but his English is not so good and he mixes up common phrases.<br/><br/>Hanzo shares his wisdom in the form of fortune cookie sayings, and is also pretty good at talking smack, sometimes avoiding fights and sometimes provoking them.  He very rarely backs down from a fight or from supporting a friend or the defenseless.<br/><br/>His mental math is very strong.<br/><br/>He has some rudimentary skill with first aid for injuries and with the usage of herbs, acupuncture and massage.<br/><br/>He is generally useless when it comes to modern technology, from using guns to driving vehicles to piloting ships or otherwise repairing anything.<br/><br/>He enjoys riding horses, hunting, growing vegetables, drinking tea and cooking.<br/><br/>His tolerance for alcohol is low but he has found a new enjoyment of cannabis.  He lacks experience with sex, gambling, music and dancing.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Hanzo was picked on as a child for his small stature, perceived weakness and mixed Asian heritage.  His parents enrolled him in self-defense classes, which eventually led him to embrace a larger philosophy and join an order of monks.  After studying martial arts such as wushu, kung fu, aikido and jiujitsu (all of which he excelled at) as well as traditional Chinese medicine (which he did not excel at), he became a teacher for his monastery.<br/><br/>The monastery was attacked and wiped out by Alliance forces for reasons he never came to understand.  He and his students fought as best they could, but his class was killed and he had to uncharacteristically beat a hasty retreat so that he could live to fight another day.<br/><br/>Without a home or guidance, he eventually helped another monk who was ambushed by a gang of thugs.  This monk was a member of a small order of monks that do not quite fit in.  Many monks aspired to the ideals of monasticism, but members of ths particular order, the Justice Blade, did not.  They accepted a life of warfare.  Hanzo was invited by this existing member, and the Vigilant Council asked Hanzo to fight evil in his own way on his own terms.<br/><br/>After single-handedly bringing down a crime lord and stealing his wealth, Hanzo is on the run with a sack of credits and basic necessities by both the Alliance and the crime lord's remaining gang.  He will not give up his personal mission, protecting those who are attacked, avenging those who have been wronged.<br/><br/><strong>Other Notes:</strong>Hanzo has a shipment of medical supplies and foodstuffs that require delivery to needy colonists.  He requires the services of a smuggler to get past any Alliance patrols or warlords.<br/><br/>Edit:  Added a bunch of thoughts and ideas."

The ramp and door don't close properly but the ramp could be taken off and the door just welded shut to keep it airtight.

Anyone not posting for more than a month can not only be moved to their bunk, but also laid off,<em>killed off</em>or otherwise removed from the roleplay in a fashion that makes sense story-wise by the GM.<br/>All of the above need not apply if the player makes an announcement beforehand in the OOC thread. We do not demand details or even a big apology. All we want to know is if you will be coming back and when. If you are in a scene, leave us a note about your intentions and we will try to handle it gracefully in your abscense.<br/><br/>The play uses two (4) threads:<br/>A<strong>main thread</strong>for all story-relevant action. This thread is assumed to be in strict chronological order and while it is allowed to do 'private' encounters in this thread, they can be interrupted by other characters or the GM as the story moves forward.<br/><br/>An<strong>OOC thread</strong>(this one) for out of character discussions and announcements.<br/><br/>An<strong>intimate encounters</strong>thread. Here play can take place away from the pressure of keeping up with the story. Although all players play in the same thread, interruptions are on an 'invite-only' basis. As a consequence, all interactions here should take place<em>on ship</em>and at an<em>undefined time</em>and they may not<em>impact the roleplay in a major way</em>. That way, we can assume they happened at some time parallel to the regular play.<br/><br/>A<strong>characters thread</strong>where we store stats and background information of our characters.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Satan_Klaus"

Lacking mobility, Lance's and Braxton's (and whoever else is coming) best chance is to surprise the Levetts somehow. They are still observing, so it might be possible to get close and take them out.

voyage.  Each manned with thirty crew, full with passengers and freight.  Amid fearful and young missionaries, naievely brave and terribly young for such an adventure, there are also fierce-eyed laborers-- their hands thick and calloused, some aiding the crew for reduced passage fare.  A few are entrepreneurs-- those with family, those with investments.  They are withdrawn, keeping to their quarters much-- stir-crazy and desperately drunk most days, hoping only for a merciful end to the agonizing trip... then, of course, there are a full four dozen laborers-- pressed servants.  Slaves, some would say... the empire decreed a hundred years ago that no man should ever be born a slave, but that does not stop the crowns, nor their richest allies, from pressing into indentured service those who overdraw their debts, those whose crimes warrant hard labor, and those who exchange their youth for a middle-age of comfort-- if they live so long.<br/><br/>All through the day, the deck was an anthill of activity as the crew busied itself with preparations to land.  'Father' Harwen had stood by like a nervous cat for hours, his hand flinching eagerly toward his flog, but his frequent cursing lacked the punctuation of physical threat so long as the crewmen slaved so anxiously away of their own volition.<br/><br/>All hadseemed well enough.  There was still rice, fresh water, and rum in the locked cage.  The ship's cats were lazing in the sun as they pleased as worksongs hummed through the creaking, stout ribs of the ship, and the sun-- after so many weeks, certainly it was no welcome sight-- had warmed the sea air that abated the constant smell of humanity from below decks.<br/><br/>Bolvor, the chief workman-- a hulking, tattooed south-seaman who lost horribly at cards but came out ahead in all dice games-- had hoisted sail and thanked the Djiin of the air for his benevolence, his accented speech musical and jovial in its fiercely reassuring way.  And captain Finz-- the angular, dark-skinned woman who had been a hellish terror to layabouts and drunkards for so many nights and days-- had sought to share comfort with her guests on the quarterdeck, even flirtatiously ribbing at the male guests that, when they reached shore, she need not be so stodgy, and a woman of her years knew the best comfort from a long journey was to ease into 'steady land' with an 'unsteady dance in a soft bed, while the sea's sway still lingers on in the bones'.<br/><br/>By midafternoon, there were more whitecaps, and something about their frequency had worried the crew.  Their songs became mutterings and steady, rhythmic chants.  Dinner was served early, and no grog was offered... there was coffee, and much, and the meal was light.  The sailors all had the grim determination of frontline soldiers as the winds had begun to howl.<br/><br/>By sunset, there was grim acceptance.  On one hand, the great red and violet of the ocean's peace... the red sky at night should have been reassurance that the storm would pass... but the crew, those who had made this journey before, set their jaws and worked their paces as they made peace with their ancestors, their gods' avatars, and their personal debts.<br/><br/>Hell broke loose by midnight.  The storms that plagued the Kraken, that had crushed every ship within a hundred miles of the island for as long as men had dared sail, were upon them.  The storms were the devil of all civilized man, the seas so powerful that to sail them was to willfully roll dice with the Black Hunger itself.  The storms that some damned fool had once dared to survive, breaking the island's unchallenged reputation as a singular killing void on the horizon.  The storms that, by all accounts, should not be-- those that only happened when one dared grow close enough to foster hope.<br/><br/>Below decks was like a knot of leaking, clenching guts.  Seven men had been seriously injured trying to keep the course-- Bolvor was dropped to the deck when the mizzenmast snapped in half and a block and tackle had swung free to crush his ribcage... the smell of his unclean death filled the hull below.   Father Harwen, angrier at the storm's interruption of schedule than the murderous determination with which it bore down, was reported to have been last seen huddling below decks while one of the ship's 'servicewomen"" sewed shut a foot-long gash on his drunken head.<br/><br/>""It's not so...  bad,"" he'd drunkenly muttered, ""if the ladsss jus keep the sails up,we'll git clear to the island by 'morrow,"" then a swig of the rum, and the ship creaks loud enough to sound like a wounded beast.  The hull itself is starting to sound like it's being twisted in the hands of a giant beast, lifted by the upswells and dropped upon the sea roughly.<br/><br/>The ship's clock chimes three times as the ship takes its punishment toward morning.  The sails have been long furled and anchors dropped full in a desperate attempt to survive.  A full-dozen men are tied into their hammocks for something like rest-- the wounded, mainly, and those too weary to stand, groaning with each careening tumble of the massive ship.  No one sees it happen, but while freshly-stitched Bolvor staggers off to piss in the cargo hold, and, far from steady in his weakened condition, he is no match for the crashing seas and violent rocking of the ship.  He is bashed against a crate of rum, and his lantern bounds free, shattering in the wells of the hull and spilling a blazing pool of whale oil that spreads, seeps into the crevices of the ship's ribs,

his mother to find out if it's the festival day-- is she roasting the ham already?  Oh, it smells fine it does... and soon others are waking to the belch of smoke and the redolence of Bolvor's roasted corpse.<br/><br/>The 'Kraken' is poised to seize another ship, it seems.  Smoke fills the lower decks as the hands above finally snap into action. They call for buckets up the ladder, their voices a desperate chain-- the shrill terror in their voices enough to rattle tested warriors and seasoned sailors alike, and soon there is so much smoke and steam that all those below decks clamor their way up and out-- bucket after bucket being tossed below in a desperate fury.  The men below scream until they are silenced, dead in their hammocks, or trapped in a corner after losing their way back to the stairs.<br/><br/>You are on the deck, having escaped the hellish heat and smoke below only to face the torrential wind and pelting, howling rain above.  You have what you carried, and someone is screaming to man the lifeboats.  The deck is pitch black and slippery with rain, and the only lights are the occasional riveted lantern on deck and, off in the distance, the glimmering wink of the other two ships' signal lamps, screened by the swell of waves and the rock of the ship.  It is, as they say, 'every man for himself.'"

Eating alone, he had kept himself apart from many of the other passengers, one of the many missionaries who had come to bring the word of his own sect to the godless savages that might fill the new land. Unlike many of them his well-toned muscles and defined musculature showed him to be a man familiar with the training regimen of a paladin, which the fire in his eyes added to, yet a twinkle in his eyes indicated at an intelligence that was not oft-seen by those who trained their muscles exclusively throughout the day.<br/><br/>His ears were a clear indication of his half-elven nature, yet there was something about him that indicated this was not completely true as well; both elves and half-elves were generally slim in form and figure, yet there was something stouter, more homely about him, almost as though he were part dwarf... though at this point you might be looking too deeply into things. Keen eyes gazed at the wind and water over the starboard rail as he gathered his thoughts, and only half an ear listened to the other passengers as they spoke of their hopes and dreams to start a new life. For a brief moment he saw them as though they were snakes crawling through the mud of history, leaving trails in their wake that stretched endlessly into the past, having been forged before by their ancestors. The monastery had taught him of many things, of various creatures that dwelt in earth and heaven, of the aspects that embodied the Right Hand and the Left Hand, and of all manner of creatures both natural and unnatural. But they had never taught him of the history of the land or its people, and a pang of regret stabbed through him.<br/><br/>By the time he opened his eyes he could see the white foam and darkening skies that marked the coming of the storm. A pang of almost-fear, like a bolt of lightning shot through as he recognized the what might be coming, but the feeling faded after but a mere moment as he remembered the teachings of the monastery, that the Paths had a plan for him, and that he would live to see it through. Hearing the cries for help to tighten the sails and weather the storm by riding it out, he quickly rushed to help the sailors, copying their movements or helping those who were forced down by the rising winds to pull ropes. Breath came heavy as his muscles tightened, his backpack and gear weighing him down a little, and he quickly knotted a rope before continuing to rush back and forth, helping those who were unable to aid the ship from sheer lack of bodily strength.<br/><br/>It felt but a moment later that he smelled the burning stench and his eyes widened. What fool had allowed fire to lick and roast the hull of the ship, to bring down their means of transportation!? He felt, more than heard, the cry of one sailor as the rail he was holding onto broke free from the battering of the storm, kicking him into the raging ocean. He quickly looked around, the onslaught of the storm threatening to throw him off his feet, desperate to cling onto something to save him from the rain's battery. He spied a rope, and dashed towards it... and at that moment the ship lurched heavily, and he felt his feet lose contact with the deck, and he was flung into the air.<br/><br/>A terrible sense of vertigo gripped him as he felt the water surround him, felt himself thrust heavily into the waves. He struggled desperately for air, having been winded by the shock of cold about him and the impact of the water as he fell, but could not make out which way was up or down. He felt himself spin, disoriented further by the push and pull of the tide. He was losing air and fast--he needed to do something. Was he going to die here? Had the monks been wrong that he had a destiny to fulfill? No, that couldn't be right. They were wise, guided by their belief, just as he should allow his belief to guide him. They had always said that his self-doubt was his greatest weakness. Well then, so be it. He picked a direction--he didn't know how or why he chose to go that way, but it<em>felt</em>right, almost as though something were guiding him. Was it the Divine? His intuition being guided by the Divine? One stroke, two, and suddenly he broke the surface, gasping for air, a litany of thanks upon his lips as fresh air entered his lungs.<br/><br/>He looked around quickly--he could not have been under for more than half a minute, yet the ship was in far worse a state than he had left it. Looking around wildly, he thought he could make out lights in the distance... and perhaps someone else struggling against the water? Broad strokes with his hand brought him towards the person, ready to drag them and himself in the direction of the lights they had seen."

That was what Lyle always taught her. With control, a chained beast becomes a pet. His words echoed in her head as she laid on the small cot provided to her for the journey. It was obvious the sailors knew what was coming...everyone did. And yet, here she was, drifting off to sleep as the waves began crashing against the ship's hull; becoming the very embodiment of Lyle's mantra as everything faded away.<br/><br/>But in her mind, things weren't as calm and collected as she liked to pretend. Especially not since her ocean voyage began. They were becoming stronger, as if her proximity to the island was strengthening whatever bond she had to those that visited her at night. Tonight would be just like the others. She had only been asleep for what felt like minutes when a shadowy figure began creeping under the crack of her door. His blackened form materialized next to her bed, his body spasming uncontrollably in horrible and twisted ways. The creature glanced down at her before settling down next to her paralyzed body on the bed, his form in constant motion yet somehow still remaining still. His hand rested gently on her shoulder as if he were trying to comfort the girl, his voice escaping in a rasp whisper. ""You always knew this would be difficult, we have not hidden this from you. But for now...all we ask is that you wake up.""<br/><br/>As if on cue, a powerful wave rocks the ship, sending Galacia crashing to the floor. She awakens mid-tumble with a gasp, the dream world quickly blending into the real one. Galacia wearily pushes herself off the floor, lingering on all fours as she tries to get her bearings. The air was heavy and warm, the taste of smoke lingering in her mouth after she took her first waking breath. Her heart jumped and her eyes flashed open when her still groggy brain put the pieces together; the sudden surge of adrenaline was all she needed to shake off the last of her drowsiness. The girl hurriedly climbed to her feet and gathered her things as quickly as possible; she had worked far too hard to gather what she needed to let a fire steal it from her now.<br/><br/>With her backpack hastily thrown over her shoulder, Galacia pushed open her door to reveal the hellish inferno awaiting her in the bowels of the ship. But where others would panic as the light of the fire danced across their eyes, she instead became enraptured by the sight. She slowly wandered into the hallways as if in a trance, her hand stretching toward the blaze, slowly but without hesitation. It had been ages since she had felt the fire's warmth or heard it's crackling voice. The fire called to her in some inexplicable way and she wanted nothing more than to embrace her childhood friend. It was a reunion, two friends that had been separated for years finally coming together once again. And as her hand drew dangerously close to the flames, the tips of the fire began bending, curving, moving in unnatural ways just so it could somehow reach back, to feel her once more.<br/><br/>But it wasn't to be. The sounds of an approaching person made their way to her ears, a silhouette of a man appearing in the fog out of the corner of her vision. Know it or not, he was intruding, and like a frightened wild animal, the fire retreated immediately in the presence of this outsider, leaving Galacia standing in stunned silence among the smoke-filled halls."

Well, except for the vomiting. He had never been on the sea before, out of the sight of land in all directions, and in those first days he had seen most of his meals come back up - at least once. But soon he adapted, as he always did, and the bouncing ship on the waves of the ocean seemed to bother him no more than it did the veteran sailors who tended the vessel.<br/><br/>The crew had been a typical lot, sailors with skill and proficiency that indicated many of them were veterans, and from what Brogan had been told veterans were needed for this particular journey. It was a dangerous course they sailed, rumor and mystery surrounding other ships that were destined for this location towards which they now sailed. Brogan had accepted the risks, had accepted the fact that he might not ever see his mother again. But the unanswered questions had burned in his heart for over a decade, and it was time that he found the answers he sought - or be consumed by them.<br/><br/>The half-orc was a hulking figure compared to most humans and elves, broad of shoulder and thick of arm. He spent much of his days topless - not to impress or intimidate, but because wearing metal armor while floating in the middle of the ocean, when one swell could send him overboard, was not the best idea. One of the other sailors had warned him about that the first day they had set sail. So Brogan had been content to wear his leather breeches and boots, his grayish skin seemingly absorbing the sun's rays as he moved about the deck. He had grown bored quickly, and spent much of his time aiding the sailors with their chores. He was not receiving compensation for it, nor did he care to: he simply wished for a way to combat the boredom that threatened to undermine his spirits.<br/><br/>Besides aiding the crew, he spent time practicing with his weapons, of course, and conducting his exercises. It relaxed him, helped to pass the time, and kept him in shape. He often wore his long, black hair in a braid, to keep it from getting in his face as he worked or exercised, as the wind up on deck could be brisk at times.<br/><br/>Other than the crew, there were others aboard whose paths he had crossed merely in passing. Brogan was a quiet soul, usually, as his kind weren't exactly the first choice for companionship amongst the men and women of humans and elves, or any other race for that matter. It was no insult to him, he had learned of and accepted racial differences when he was younger. Brogan held no ill-will towards those who would prefer to avoid him. However, those few who had approached him, sailors mostly, were always greeted in a polite tone, and more often than not he was happy to assist them with whatever task was at hand. Some of the crew even grew to like him. Bolvor, the ship's head workman, had shown distaste for Brogan at first, but after assisting the other sailors, even he had come to offer Brogan a grudging respect. Several times the man had told Brogan that they needed to arm-wrestle for coin, since Brogan was not predisposed to games of chance.<br/><br/>The Captain, Finz by name, was a ruggedly beautiful woman in Brogan's eyes. Strong, assertive, forceful - she didn't take attitude from anyone, not even Bolvor. At times during their journey when the business of running the ship was at its slowest, she would even talk to the various guests, her flirtations directed at some of the males. Brogan was convinced, though, that such offers of comfort upon reaching the shore were not meant for him, but rather for the other, more comely men on the ship. While not ugly, especially for his kind, he was also aware that women of other races tended to avoid his own as well, another example of racial divides that he had also been rudely introduced to when he was younger.<br/><br/>The trip seemed to be going well, and there was hope amongst some that the arrival might even be sooner than first imagined. But such hoep was short-lived, and as night approached, Brogan could sense many of the men becoming worried. A storm was brewing on the horizon, and from the looks of it, they would not be able to escape it, no matter how fast the ship or how skilled the crew was. Preparations were made, while the jovial nature of some of the sailors sunk to a quiet murmur.<br/><br/>By midnight, the ship was in serious turmoil. Brogan did his best to help where he could, lashing ropes where needed, and re-lashing them when they came undone. More than one sailor had been sent tumbling overboard, and Brogan was even able to grab one of them before he hit the railing, but the others were simply gone, swallowed up by the dark, hungry sea. Salt water spumed everywhere, it seemed, as if the sea itself was determined to shake and rattle every living creature off the ship. For their part, the sailors toiled gallantly - working together, most of them had seen their share of storms on past journeys.<br/><br/>Another cry went up, though, and Brogan's eyes were diverted to the stairs leading down into the hold. A bright, orange glow seemed to be growing, and he knew -that- could not be a good sign. Quickly he made his way to those stairs, even as a couple of men climbed up them, coughing and shouting at him to not descend. He ignored them, bounding down the stairs quickly. The tiny bunk-area was near the foot of the stairs, and he dashed into it, avoiding flame and smoke as best he could. He found his possessions just as he had left them, a backpack tied to his shield and breastplate. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to hold onto these items, but he was sure as heck going to try.<br/><br/>He dashed out into the hallway as a scream pierced his ears in the distance. Someone, somewhere, was -burning-. The smell of burning flesh was distinct, as well as burning hair, but the sound came from a direction blocked by the hungry flames and thick smoke. Brogan glanced the other way and saw a dark figure not far down the hallway. For a moment, he thought that the flame was -avoiding- the figure, but he knew with the smoke in his eyes, and the uneveness of the flames, it was likely a trick of light.<br/><br/>Brogan recognized her a moment later. Galacia, he believed her name to be or something sounding much like it, from overhearing others address her in the days before. She was a passenger, like himself, rather than a crewman. And like himself, she was likely to find herself tossed from the ship soon, in one way or another.<br/><br/>""Galacia! Quickly! The belly of this ship is almost consumed by flame!"" he called out, unaware that she might have any sort of affinity with the flames. He quickly made his way to her with just a few long strides, assisting her if need be. ""Lifeboats are lowered, but the ship's mast is done for, and this flame will finish whatever is left!"" he called out, his deep voice speaking the common tongue as if it was his mother language. If she accepted, Brogan would lead the lady up to the deck, and to the nearest railing. Over the side, there was already one lifeboat lowered filled with men already, and Brogan -thought- he saw the captain among them, though in the excitement he wasn't sure.<br/><br/>Not far from the edge of the ship, various debris floated, some of it large enough to use as a raft, or at least large enough for several people to cling to, which offered a far better future compared to the alternative as his eyes glanced back to see the glow growing even more, as well as the smoke.<br/><br/>There might be room for Galacia on the lifeboat, but there surely wasn't for him. She'd have to make her own choice, as they'd be forced over the edge anytime now.<br/><br/>"

""Your hand--quickly!"" he called, feeling his grip on the gaff loosen as he let go of one hand, reaching for the other man.

Breathing heavily as he got his head once more above water, he pulled and pushes and between the two of them they both reached the boat safely.<br/><br/>On his hands and knees on the boat, Jin breathed heavily, straining to get air into his battered lungs. His mouth and nose were filled with the sour taste of saltwater, but somehow he was able to struggle to his feet, almost stumbling into another man in the process.

Soon they would be back near a fire, with warm food to eat and clean water to drink... not that the latter would be a problem while he was around. Still, conjured water had always tasted funny... his nose wrinkled a little as he recalled the taste. But no time for that--he jumped from the ship as they neared the shore, and helped other men with what they needed to secure the ships. Moments passed and he noticed the man he had saved before. ""Alright?"" he asks the man expressing his love of a solid floor on the ground."

She felt helpless as she stepped into the lifeboat, like there was something she could have done or something she<em>should</em>have done that could have saved more of those sharing the ship with her. When the captain plunged into the flames, Galacia stood among the huddled bodies crowded in the lifeboat with a gasp, a sturdy hand grabbing her by the wrist as she tried to move forward. ""Nothing you can do, lass."" The same sailor that had helped her into the boat was now anchoring her to it, trying to comfort her after watching the captain die in front of her eyes. ""A captain always goes down with the ship. It's what she would have wanted."" Galacia took her place back in the crowded lifeboat with a resigned sigh, her gaze lingering up at the ship as the lifeboat was lowered into the churning waters.<br/><br/>Galacia spent the uneasy night with her backpack huddled closely against her chest, the side of her face resting against the top of it, clinging to it like it was keeping her afloat rather than the boat under her. The ride was unpleasant to say the least, the first few hours of awkward silence as no one particularly knew what to say and the smell that can only be created by dozens of soaked and singed bodies that had been at sea for months all packed into one boat and clinging to life. Galacia's eyes occasionally wandered toward where Brogan was sitting, as if she wished to speak but couldn't find the words. She wanted to say something to him for offering his help when others might have cared only for themselves. Even though she was in little actual danger, it was still a nice gesture but, for now, her lips continued to stay sealed, as they would for the rest of the night, as she maintained her hold on her backpack and seemingly retreated from the world around her, lost in her own thoughts. Her mind couldn't help but linger on the subject of death; those that had died on the ship and her own possible impending death.<br/><br/>After hours of agonizing uncertainty, the tarp was finally removed as the last traces of night disappeared and the despair hanging over the boat seemed to be pulled back with it. The ocean had mercifully carried them toward their destination in the night and had left them within sight of the other two ships making the voyage. When land was spotted, she moved for the first time in what seemed like hours, her head turning back to look over her shoulder, taking in the isolated island. As the others cheered, hugged, and celebrated, Galacia remained still and emotionless, still wrapped around her belongings in the same position she had been in all night. She should have been happy - she was alive and being here is what she wanted, after all - but the thought of death was something she couldn't shake. She couldn't remember the faces or names of those that weren't among her now; she rarely offered the sailors anything more than a friendly smile or wave as they went about their days. With the business she had to attend to and the rumors surrounding the island itself, she knew death was far from being put behind her. She'd have to face it every day and she couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she were to die out there in the island's jungle. Would she end up like the sailors on the ship, barely remembered and alone, hoping and begging for help that wasn't coming? It was a chilling thought, one that dampened what should have been a happy moment for her. For the first time since she began this journey, she was faced with doubts: doubts about herself, her abilities, and her reason for coming here. Was it really worth it?<br/><br/>Galacia continued to keep to herself as the boat livened up, the new lease on life leading to a much more active and talkative bunch of sailors. The drinks and food passed down to them were declined with a shake of her head as they were offered to her, her expressionless face and distant eyes contrasting against the happiness around her. She didn't feel like celebrating, especially not with alcohol. It had always been a peasant's pastime as far as she was concerned, a dirty habit held by dirty people and one of the few things in the world she truly hated - she hated the smell, the taste, the way it changed people. As if her depressing thoughts weren't making her miserable enough, here she was, surrounded by sailors in a tiny boat as they tilted back drink after drink, celebrating life and becoming more inebriated and rowdy as the boat pulled them up to the island.<br/><br/>Even with the stiffness in her body, she quickly made her way onto land, her backpack still held tightly in her arms as she simply refused to stick around and take part in any further celebrations the sailors might have planned. While she appreciated their work to get her here, she wanted little to do with them anymore. All she wanted for now was to enjoy a warm meal and a bed that didn't rock back and forth as she slept. And so she made her way toward the quaint island town, the significance of finally setting foot on the island being pushed aside for now as she was instead more focused on getting back to ""normal"" now that the ocean was behind her."

But with the fresh memory of the dead and dying sailors on the ship they were escaping, Brogan had a suspicion that there would be -more- room available on the lifeboats, because it was clear a good number of those aboard the ship would perish along with it. Brogan's eyes settled on the captain as she stoically accepted her fate. The half-orc did not see her so much as flinch as her ship was consumed around her. She was resigned to her death, to the the fact that the remainder of her life could be counted in seconds, not hours or days or years.<br/><br/>The lifeboat pushed away as the hungry flames devoured the ship, only to ironically be devoured themselves by the sea. Brogan knew that their chances of survival were very slim now, tossed into a tiny lifeboat with few provisions amidst the throes of a storm. Still, Brogan was not like the captain - he would fight to his last breath for survival, and he was quick to help the crew cover the lifeboat as best they could with the tarp.<br/><br/>He cast more than one glance towards Galacia, hopeful that she was well. She -looked- well enough, with no visible damage to her person, but Brogan knew there were also wounds of the mind that individuals offered suffered, invisible and deep, and every bit as debilitating as wounds of the body. But here, now, all he could do was hope that she was ok. During the first hour, he fished a linen tunic from his belongings and pulled it on over his body. He dare not don his armor when he might find himself floating in the ocean at any moment, only to sink to his doom.<br/><br/>Men were sick and men were hopeless as the lifeboat bobbed and endured the sea's tossing, as if it were angry that the lifeboat and its occupants had survived. But later that morning, as darkness and the storm both began to ebb away, it appeared the the lifeboat would survive at least a little longer. Slowly the spirits of those aboard began to rise, hope renewed with the retreat of the storm and the arrival of daylight, and as their sight became clearer, great cheers went up as not only other survivors were spotted, but land as well.<br/><br/>It seemed the fates were kind to them. Brogan was certain the sun would rise and they would not see land in any direction. But as luck would have it, they were not so far away. How bitter a pill it was to swallow, then, to know that the ship was within a day's flight of their destination, so close to safety and sanctuary, only to be swallowed up by the sea so close to their goal? Brogan knew he should be thankful, and he was, and not for the first time on the trip had he wondered if the fate of those sailors left on the ship was perhaps the same fate his father had met all those years ago.<br/><br/>The celebration grew more serious, with rum being passed around as well as food. While Brogan heartily accepted some cheese, he declined spirits for now. He wasn't against them, but they were about to make landfall, and Brogan needed to have his senses about him for the rest of the day. Perhaps that evening, when his affairs were settled might he partake in a glass of something more stiff than water or coffee, but for now, he waved off any offer of rum that came his way. He noted, too, that Galacia avoided imbibing, and her quiet demeanor made the half-orc wonder if she were almost -disappointed- to have survived. Perhaps she lost someone of importance aboard the ship? A friend or loved-one? Most likely, he surmised, she was simply as anxious as the rest of them to be ashore, and in that regard Brogan could not blame her.<br/><br/>The sculpture on the shore, a colossal leg of stone sticking out of the ground caught Brogan's attention. He could only imagine how tall the -complete- statue must have been. What ancient people could have constructed such a thing - and where were they now?<br/><br/>His thoughts were refocused suddenly when the ship came ashore. Several of the sailors leaped out as if they had never been on land before. Brogan awaited his turn, making sure Galacia had any assistance she might need to debark as well. He grabbed his pack, his armor and shield still tightly roped to it, and hoisted it over his shoulder. His eyes settled on the village before him, and though the near-death experience on the sea was now behind him, he was well aware that his future was likely going to be just as perilous.<br/><br/>Without thinking about it and without intention, Brogan ended up walking in the same direction Galacia did, toward the sprawl of buildings huddled on the shore before them."

(Akathos is, known to all of you, an avatar associated with scholarship, writing, and messengers.  He is often portrayed as a bare young man with four wings on his back, a book under one arm and a bow in the other... on the mainland, that is)  The fair one, looking a bit younger and perhaps pale seems reluctant to call aloud for fear the heat will find her faster if she does.  Her white vestments and shawl all but conceal her face.<br/><br/>She catches out at Jin's sleeve as he passes, and if she catches him, she takes up his broad, strong hand in her own-- she can scarcely hold him, her grip is like bird fluttering.  ""Here,"" she says quietly, and presses a thin, short ribbon of tattered hemp into his hand-- it is marked with the symbol used to denote the early hours past dusk-- a glyph representing a stag, drawn by hand with a quill some hours before.  ""Good sir, come to the temple this evening for welcoming.""  Her large eyes are a pale, sweet blue, and frail as she seems she's quite pretty.  ""The hour of the stag, you and your companions as well.""  She smiles faintly before turning her attention to the next wanderers along the sandy path.<br/><br/>The fuller-figured girl fixes eyes on Brogan, blushes faintly, then averts her eyes quickly.  ""Akathos welcome you, bring light to you!  Tonight, the temple of Akathos, there on the hill at the hour of the stag...""  other travelers catch her eye, but there's a feeling that the prejudices of some mainland towns may not be known in the Kraken (or else they are overshadowed by the more... generous stereotypes?).<br/><br/>There are shanties in clusters here, some styles resembling the northern dwarves' lodges of criss-crossed timber carved ornately-- if in this case, a bit hurriedly-- into faces and roaring heads at every knob and outcrop.  There are longhouses, where the southerners have branched off triangle-shaped halls from a central fire pit where families can share common area.<br/><br/>And soon there are shops... where, perhaps, the permanent homes are expected to be.  Rows of tents, booths and carts lined with goods.  At the end is a stretch of frames, tall homes on high, stone foundations where the water won't flood them, their broad porches lined with benches and fluttering cloth shades like the proud banners of a joust, every color gaudy and bold.  There's the sound of a flute played in one, and a barking dog from elsewhere.  Crates are being banged about here and there, and there's the sound of catcalls from one-- its broad porch sits empty, the stout doors closed, but the slats are painted a bold, deep red... marking it clearly as a brothel.  On the upper porch, stretched out languidly as if to diffuse as much of the mid-day heat as possible, sits a half-naked couple of humans, their skin glistening with oil even in the porch's shade.  The man, tall and bald all over, looks at the group like a hawk watching a family of mice creeping from rock to rock, his long body bare but for crumpled drape over his pelvis as he poses on a carved settee.  The woman draws a lock of her luxuriously long blonde hair from her face where she sits before an easel, paintbrush in hand-- likewise, tall and lean, watches with the same half-pity, half-amusement at the passing new arrivals... the resemblance is uncanny, as if the two could be brother and sister.  Her bare back is visible to them, and she appears to wear only a short cotton chemise, her slender legs crossed in a ladylike fashion despite her brazen attire.<br/><br/>Further on sits the massive structure of a feasthall-- constructed from stone supports and with a roof made from the ribs and hull of a full galleon that was, we hope, disassembled and reassembled as a roof for this huge building that serves as the main tenant-lodging, tavern, and inn for the island.  There are family homes who let rooms as well, and perhaps for cheaper, but lacking a singular reference, it's as good a place to start as any."

It was obvious that she was new here but she couldn't help but feel uneasy, like something more was going on here. Maybe it was just her mind playing tricks on her or her own unfamiliarity with these small village settings but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was 'off' about this place. It seemed Brogan and a few other passengers had the same idea she had though, so at least she wasn't the only outsider being tossed curious glances on their way to the inn.<br/><br/>Galacia stopped briefly in the street near the two followers of Akathos, finally realizing that she was still clutching her backpack when her arms started to feel strained from carrying it. She shifted the backpack onto her back, casting a puzzled look at the two missionaries that were greeting all the new arrivals. It seemed strange to her that Akathos would be so prominent here...what use did a colony like this one have with a god of learning? She couldn't help but overhear the invitation offered to the travelers. To Galacia, it seemed like a decent chance to chat with the local priests of Akathos and learn a little more about the island and its history. That's the sort of thing followers of Akathos are supposed to do, right?<br/><br/>As the large building that served as the town's inn came into view on the horizon, Galacia couldn't help but notice the brothel as she passed by it. A sound of disgust escaped her throat as she rolled her eyes at the building. Of course a town like this would have a brothel - she should have expected as much from a small, dirty town like Kraken. But the presence of the brothel wasn't what unsettled her at the moment. She caught the gaze of the pair of humans, saw them staring down at her with a strange expression. Galacia couldn't look away despite the awkwardness of it all, couldn't help but puzzle over how strange the scene before her was. Half-naked humans that could pass as siblings, sprawled out in public as if putting themselves on display and watching her like predators. It wasn't right and it sent a chill down her spine. Galacia made a mental note to stay as far away from the brothel as possible, and even farther away from the two humans staring down at her from the porch. While she could pass off her uneasy feelings about the town as simple nerves, she couldn't make the same excuses for the brothel. It felt wrong.<br/><br/>Finally arriving at the inn and making her way inside, she stopped briefly at the door, giving a weary sigh of relief. She wanted nothing more than to put a door between herself and this crazy town right now, somewhere where she could get some privacy and time alone. With that in mind, she approached whoever seemed to be running the place, sliding her backpack off her shoulders and onto the floor before speaking, her exhaustion evident in her voice. ""Excuse me...do you have any rooms? All I really need right now is a bed and a door."" She tried to be as polite and friendly as possible, offering a feigned smile as she finished speaking but it was obvious her smile was forced, more of a practiced routine rather than genuine emotion. For now, though, it'd have to do. The trip and her narrow survival had left her feeling drained and she wasn't in the mood to bother with making new friends at the moment."

Questions flew back and forth, businessmen expecting the arrival of their own ship, even a relative or two, perhaps waiting a loved-one who never made it. Friends and family, comrades and employers, whatever the relation, the loss of so many lives had not gone unnoticed. Of course, everyone who had boarded those ships knew the stories, or at least Brogan assumed they did. There always was a chance that they'd never make it.<br/><br/>The feeling of industry hung heavy in the air, as if the people of the village sought to expand as quickly as possible prepared and eager to exploit the virgin land beyond. Various workers caught his eye, men and women alike, as much skin bared to the sun as was reasonably proper. For a moment, Brogan wondered if he would be among them in the next few days, if he could find no leads on his father, or some other form of work. He was not laden with coin, and only had enough to survive for a few days, he imagined. This also caused him to wonder about the price of goods in his place - with no other trade hubs, the businessmen here could likely charge whatever they wished for things as simple as a loaf of bread or a linen shirt. He decided to worry about that later. Right now, more practical demands needed to be seen to.<br/><br/>The first order of business - get inside the village, and hopefully out of the pounding sun.<br/><br/>Most of the others who weren't meeting with people waiting for them seemed to have the same idea. Even Galacia was among them, heading straight away towards the village proper. Brogan was only wearing his linen shirt, but even that felt stifling. He could handle heat well enough, but he knew donning his breastplate would speed dehydration, the plate armor feeling heavier than it truly was. But that was a bridge he'd worry about crossing when the time came, and -if- the time came for it.<br/><br/>Brogan notes the tattooed half-orc, the bag he carries, and the newly-arrived warrior wonders at its contents. Was this some sort of unspoken 'tariff' paid by the incoming ships? Was corruption here as bad as it was back on the mainland? It would be silly to assume that this place was lawful and without crime, silly -and- naive. Brogran turned his eyes back to the path ahead of him, ignoring what he had seen.<br/><br/>Soon the group heading to the village confronts the religious women, who try to catch the attention of those passing by, urging them to come to their temple that very night. Brogan was not a religious person, merely paying lip-service to a deity in desperate situations, but the curvacious woman standing before him demanded his attention. He felt the momentary stirring in the pit of his stomach when he glanced at the young woman's fuller figure and blush, and for the briefest of moments Brogan thought to solicit her for company. Unfortunately, Brogan wasn't entirely sure the 'fluttering' in his lower stomach was desire for this woman - or his body attempting to steady itself upon reaching solid earth once more, and he decided not to chance it. He simply nodded at her once, his voice a gentle growl. ""If my stomach allows it, perhaps,"" was all he said, moving slightly to the side to go around her, but not without one last look.<br/><br/>And then, they are amongst the village buildings, and the familiar sounds of the day reach his ears. Voices, dogs, children, and in the background the cry of gulls looking for their next meals. The sound of industry also reaches his ears, as well, and now the place felt more like a thriving city than a single dot of a village countless leagues away from civilization. Merchants aplenty lined the way, as well as a brothel. Brogan hoped he would not require their services, but he mentally marked its location - just in case. Like any man, he had needs, and those needs required fulfillment on occasion.<br/><br/>The sight of the feasthall gave Brogan pause. It must have taken some large amount of effort - and the backs of many men and women - to create such a structure. It was ingenious, and obvious 'thematic', being that the sea played an obvious important part of the lives of these people. He half expected to enter the place to find a pirate running the place with a missing eye, leg, and hand, a colorful native bird perched on his shoulder, just like in the stories his mother used to read him as a young boy.<br/><br/>Brogan noticed, too, that Galacia was bound for the same place, and without a word the warrior slowed his pace letting her and a few others moved past him, allowing them to go first in their attempts to pursue lodgings. Brogan was not sure if the inn portion of the structure was large enough to hold every patron that came here, but he assumed there were other places in the village to stay - for the right price, of course.<br/><br/>Brogan waited his turn in line, hoping to find a private room for himself. Common rooms were all fine and well, but he avoided them when he could.<br/>"

True, it would be wise to find a modicum of privacy and security as a newcomer to the island--or to seek that security in the arms of one well-entrenched here as a woman. He thought he had noted a lack of them on the island, and they were sure to be those who would take what was perhaps better given. More importantly though, the fireplaces meant that the island got chilly at night to the point where heat was necessary--was it the tropical storms, such as the one that carried them here, that accompanied the chill? Or simply the mood of the winds and waves? Having lived in the mainland for much of his life, he wondered to himself at how strange it was for the heat to swelter during the day, yet require heating at night.<br/><br/>He took note of the state of the town they had just passed through and wondered how the children that would obviously come from a long-term settlement would be educated and raised. Would they be pious, and taught to honor the gods, finding one that chose them? Or would they be godless savages with no idea of what it meant to have that divine connection he himself felt? That there was a temple, and one that invited them already was a good sign, yet he should make sure that they followed the divine as they were meant to, that there were no heretics amidst them that would rather profane the gods than worship them. He resolved to see the temple proper as soon as possible.<br/><br/>Thoughts of divine brought his mind closer to his own lord, Maered. Just as his own god was chained to his throne, so too was he chained to duty--and yet it was his own duty to free others from their misconceptions and illusions, amongst other things. He doubted that he would find many of his faith here--many of his brethren were on the mainland, and he was often disliked by most of those he met, less inspiring and more frightening as he did his most holy duty. Yet hopefully his actions would inspire others to come ask him of his own faith on their own, rather than requiring him to gather a flock. He would lead the people in worship if he could, teach them what it meant to revere something larger than themselves, and find a purpose in their lives, but as a man of action rather than words he would need to<em>do</em>rather than simply talk.<br/><br/>The innkeeper's question roused him from his thoughts. ""Maered be praised,"" he nodded to her, pleasantly surprised at her piety. ""I've come to secure the settlement, making sure it stays safe, as well as see that its spiritual guidance is on the right path,"" he says, his own faith almost glowing from his eyes as he remembers his mission. One might take him for a paladin from his words and demeanor, and would not be far off the path.

Galacia's attention briefly turns to the merchants gathered around the large hall, hopeful that the inn rarely got more traffic than what it showed now. Having merchants selling their wares where others slept and rested seemed an odd arrangement but likely was more out of necessity than anything else. The seller of books and scrolls seemed interesting enough - if only because she had always enjoyed reading - and perhaps something worth checking out when she settled in but, for now, Galacia was content with just getting a room for the evening.<br/><br/>Kraken wasn't like anything she was used to; the large cities, crowds of people, and private rooms of the mainland were far behind her now. Galacia shrugged with disappointment at the owner when she offered up the closest thing this island could provide to a private room. ""That will do, I suppose."" Her eyes followed the innkeepers hands as she brought the book to the counter, scanning over a few of the entries out of idle curiosity as the woman spoke. No visitors? Why would she be offen... oh. Galacia's eyes looked up toward the innkeeper wordlessly, the sorceress deciding to not even dignify the remark with a reply, her expression one of confusion as to why the innkeeper would bring something like that up. She had always made a note to make herself as unnoticeable as possible, maybe even unappealing at times with the way she dressed. Maybe prostitutes dressed differently here in Kraken? It was definitely something to keep an eye on; having men mistakenly trying to pay her for sex was the last thing she needed right now. For now, she simply took the pen offered to her in hand and gracefully signed her name on the ledger's open pages before laying a gold piece on the counter.<br/><br/>Galacia bent over and pulled her backpack back over her shoulder now that her business was done. Much like the innkeeper, she turned and studied the men walking in, recognizing them from both the ship and the lifeboat. She didn't have any business with them here or on the ship nor the desire to converse with them. Upon hearing the innkeeper's question, she looked back over her shoulder, hesitating to answer as she searched for the right way to phrase her reason for braving the ocean to come here. ""Looking for something...or someone. Not really sure."" Galacia shook her head and laughed nervously, mostly at her own foolishness. She should have waited, prepared more. Instead, she marched headfirst into this mess out of some sort of child-like optimism. It wasn't supposed to be like this. ""Kind of dumb, huh? Sail the ocean for months, nearly die, and I barely even know why I'm here."" Galacia offered the innkeeper a halfhearted smile before hanging her head and sighing to herself.<br/><br/>Figuring she had said enough, Galacia started making her way to her ""room"". She stopped short, however, as she nearly walked into Brogan in her haste to get out of the awkward situation she had created for herself. The same look of needing to say something that she wore on the lifeboat now crossed her face again. This time, though, she managed to wrestle a few words out. ""I'm uh- I'm Galacia."" The woman held her hand out for Brogan as she introduced herself. ""Sorry. I probably should have introduced myself earlier but there was the whole...you know...drowning and burning thing."""

By letting others go before him, he could listen and overhear various things said by the innkeep, perhaps even other patrons. He listened closely to the details that the innkeep provided to the other patrons before him. Five silver... a list for an eventual private room, such as it was - things could be worse. Everyone could be sleeping under the elements every night, good or bad. Brogan had slept in his share of common-rooms, so that prospect didn't particularly unnerve him.<br/><br/>Before him went the man he had heard others refer to as ""Jin"". A human by the looks of it, and by the sound of it some sort of holy-man. Every new-found land needed its preachers, of course, so it was no surprise that this land was no different. 'Maered be praised', indeed. So that was the chosen path he followed. Here to secure the settlement, offer spiritual guidance... yes, he certainly sounded like a holy-man so far. Seeking the temple of Akathos.<br/><br/>Others went, as well, some simply paying for access to any place they could collapse and sleep now. Another from the ship, an elfish looking man, leaned a little closer to speak to the innkeep, speaking quietly enough that others might not hear. Moments later, he slipped away. Was he passing on some sort of important, secret information? Or did he simply not want his business spoken aloud for others to hear?<br/><br/>More patrons took their turn, including the woman Galacia. She did not seem particularly pleased about the arrangements - and Brogan realized most women probably wouldn't. Most women were touchy about 'public' rooms and such, so that didn't surprise him. She took care of her business, then responded to the inkeeper's questions. She was looking for someone - or something, and she wasn't sure? That seemed odd... and she barely had an idea why she was here. Even more curious. But as she departed, she turned and headed away from the counter, and nearly bumped right into Brogan's solid frame.<br/><br/>She looked up at him - as he looked down at her and listened to her actually introduce herself.<strong> ""Galacia, a pleasure to meet you,""</strong>he said, his voice deep and grounded.<strong> ""I am Brogan. No need for apologies - our first meeting was... intense, so a formal introduction was not expected. I am just glad that you made it off the ship safely,""</strong>he said,<strong> ""It is a pleasure to meet you,""</strong>he added, with a slight bow of his head.<br/><br/>Pretending as though he did not hear her comments to the innkeeper, his head tilted slightly to the side.<strong>""What brings you to this island?""</strong>he asked."

A life spent in hiding - always holding onto a secret and never really forming attachments with anyone save a select few - it was no wonder she felt uncomfortable being under the magnifying glass. What should she say? Lying had always come naturally to her - she had practically been trained to do so her entire life - but lying to the man in front of her wouldn't be as easy for her as lying to the innkeeper had been. She had seen the way he studied everyone and everything, took in his surroundings like one who was familiar with combat. But what was the alternative...telling the truth? Tell him that she felt drawn here, pulled by some inexplicable force? Or better yet, tell the whole inn that the voices in her head told her to come here? No...she'd do as she had always done; she'd lie, avoid attention, change the subject - anything to take Brogan's mind and attention away from prying any further.<br/><br/>Galacia held a smirk of amusement as her hand brushed against her face and her eyes shyly shifted away from Brogan's. ""Nothing too important. I heard that something I was looking for was here."" A half-truth at best but it was all she was willing to offer to someone who was only slightly removed from being a complete stranger. Her eyes turned back towards his, her smirk growing into a smile. She doubted the vague answer would satisfy Brogan's curiosity and decided to steer the conversation elsewhere before he had a chance to continue his investigation. ""What about you, hm? You're obviously expecting some kind of trouble."" Her hand and eyes motion expectantly to the breastplate Brogan had been carrying since they first met. ""What are you planning on getting into?"""

For a moment, what he could see of her face hinted at an elven heritage, but he could not be certain, and felt it might be a bit rude to ask her point-blank about it now. Instead, he did his best to focus on her words. Her business here was unimportant - which didn't seem logical - to come all this way, to endure the dangers of the crossing for something 'unimportant' did not sound like something a normal person might do. But she did admit that she was 'looking for something', so there was that. Religious callings or perhaps financial gains... those were the two most likely reasons for her being here, then. The 'something' she sought could be coin - or answers of a divine nature. People had done much more for far less.<br/><br/>Brogan, on the contrary, felt he had little reason to hide his reason for being here.<strong> ""I am looking for someone. My father came here long ago, and I seek to discover his fate,""</strong>he said.<strong>""These,""</strong>he shrugged, indicating the breastplate and shield that hung from his backpack,<strong>""Are to help ensure I do so in one piece,""</strong>he said, giving her a crooked grin. The twin tusks of his lower jaw were quite small, but plainly visible when he smiled.<strong> ""I do not seek trouble, but if that is what I find during the course of my search... then I hope to be prepared for it."" </strong><br/><br/>Few had spoken to him much on the journey. He was well-aware that many humans, elves and otherwise did not trust his people, a lesson her had learned painfully long ago. It no longer mattered to him, but when one of another people -did- speak to him, he took it to heart.<strong>""Perhaps after you have settled, we might enjoy some bread together,""</strong>he offered, doing his best not to sound clumsy. Brogan expected rejection, but made the offer nonetheless. He did not seem to care that other newcomers moved around and past him to speak to the innkeeper."

This was certainly not the direction she intended for the conversation to go. She did have to admit she was absolutely starving, a fact which was brought to the forefront of her mind when Brogan planted the idea in her head. ""I uh..."" Galacia let out a nervous chuckle as her eyes drifted off toward the ceiling and her head titled occasionally from side to side as she inwardly weighed her options.<br/><br/>On one hand, she dreaded the idea of sharing dinner with Brogan. Dinner meant talking and talking meant more questions; more prodding and poking until the uncomfortable truth started bubbling to the surface. But then again, she had spent her life eating awkward dinners with her family in the presence of other minor nobles and church officials. Her younger half-siblings rarely understood the reason why they had to treat their sister like a stranger or why she would occasionally take on the role of a serving girl during important dinners. They were affairs filled with long, drawn out silences and brief, awkward glances from her family. If she could manage twenty years of that, she was fairly sure she could handle eating bread in an inn with a half-orc. Besides, it would be a great idea to befriend the half-orc. She could use him. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly as she thought, her conscience inwardly disagreeing with the idea. A mutually beneficial partnership perhaps? He wanted to search the jungle for something and so did she...it'd almost be stupid not to take advantage of the opportunity before her. Of course he'd want to know why she was so interested in exploring the island as well but she was certain she could lie her way over that hurdle when it popped up.<br/><br/>Galacia turned her attention back to Brogan after seconds of debating with herself. She smiled and inhaled deeply, her hands fidgeting with one another. She let her breath out in a quick exhale and held her hands up. ""Sure. Why not?"" Her hands latched onto the straps of her backpack as she prepared to walk off and set about the task of settling into her new temporary home. ""See you in fifteen minutes?"""

Still, it was not his place to pry... yet. After all, he should first make his own introductions to the temple, and see what there was to experience there before making any hasty judgement. His own tenets were quite strict, and might even be thought of as cruel and barbaric to those uninitiated in the faith, but he would judge them on their own merits rather than based on how others perceived them.<br/><br/>""Thank you,"" he says quietly. Now with shelter secured his mind turned to other mundane matters. The summons had been for the evening, but it would not be amiss to come early and see the preperations for whatever ceremonies they held and the like. ""A hot meal, and perhaps something to drink,"" he says, ""where can I find these at a decent price? The sea was no easy mistress,"" he explains, his awareness of just how famished he is growing, and he feels his stomach churn with need. He heard two of the others speaking of food and said, ""Perhaps the two of us might join you then, as we all came from the same ship, if memory serves well,"" he includes Calathes in the gathering. ""I don't get the feeling as though this place is entirely secure, and it might do well to know others lest we find ourselves in need of help and are in need of assistance,"" he says, his speech slightly archaic, almost as though he were quoting a book or had learned much of his speech from reading.<br/><br/>""Later on I go to examine the local temple and confirm that all is in good measure there, and that they teach well the word of the divine,"" he says easily, not expecting trouble. Still, it paid to always be on one's guard. ""I understand others were also invited tonight, and if you have not gotten one, feel free to join me,"" he nods to Calathes, whom he's already invited."

It wouldn't have surprised him - or offended him in the slightest. It was simply the way things were. He was a complete stranger to her for the most part, he wasn't 'handsome' in most people's eyes, and he had no link to her - business, personal, or otherwise. Then after a bit of a pause she surprised him by agreeing to his offer. He nodded, satisfied with her wish to meet up in fifteen minutes. Then another voice joined them from the side.<br/><br/>Two others joined him and Galacia, two men that Brogan recognized from the ship. Jin's words confirmed it for him, noting that all of them had come from the ship. Brogan listened to Jin's assessment and suggestion that the four of them break bread together, and expressing a suspicion about the settlement's security. He spoke of help and assistance, and Brogan's natural suspicion and caution kicked-in. Usually, those who spoke most often about security were those who needed it more often than not, but the half-orc was also smart enough to realize that there was indeed safety in numbers. the only 'ties' he had to these three people, though, were that they were on the ship, and they weren't merely sailors.<br/><br/>Jin continued, speaking about the temple and possibly going there. Brogan was not really religious, but if these three people were going, he figured it couldn't hurt to go as well. He nodded, turning his gaze to Galacia to see what her thoughts might be.<br/><strong><br/>""That seems fair to me,""</strong>he said, noting that Jin hadn't actually asked for anything, for favors or coin or assistance.  He had simply made suggestions and an invitation, and that was not really alarming.<strong> ""Fifteen minutes then?""</strong>he asked, echoing Galacia's wishes. He still needed to pay for his lodging, as well."

It wasn't a completely unwelcome development considering what she had seen of Kraken so far but it wasn't one she was exactly fond of either. She never understood priests...or rather, she never understood their motivations. Perhaps that was why she found his offer unappealing - she didn't like the idea of dealing with the unknown - or maybe it was just the thought of listening to him preach and talk about religion for hours on end like so many of the priests that visited her childhood home. The very idea of sitting through<em>that</em>made her stomach turn worse than her ride here ever did.<br/><br/>Galacia looked at Brogan out of the corner of her eye, catching his gaze toward her as the holy man invited the two of them to join him and his friend at dinner. She returned a puzzled glance and mouthed the word ""What?"" with a shrug. She had no idea why he would look to her for answers or her approval for something so mundane and trivial. Despite her initial hesitation, Galacia was never one to turn down polite company - especially if it meant an easy out if Brogan turned the conversation toward her past - so she simply nodded her approval to both Brogan and Jin, adding a short ""Sounds good"" before making her exit toward where she would be staying.<br/><br/>With a quick flex of her shoulders, her backpack fell to the ground near her newly purchased bed with a light thud and a metallic rustling. Galacia fell face first onto the bed with contented sigh, enjoying the comforting embrace of the mattress and pillow. Her eyes closed and her breathing slowed, a soft smile crossing her lips as she enjoyed what little time of relaxation she had earned. After ten minutes of complete silence - from her surroundings and from her own mind - she pushed herself up into a sitting position and glanced down at her clothing.<br/><br/>Her clothing was absolutely filthy, which was to be expected, but that wasn't what concerned her for now. She'd need something lighter, the harsh heat of the sun did a fantastic job of making that abundantly clear. Besides, while her current outfit did an admirable job of making her unremarkable on the mainland, it provided the exact opposite effect here in Kraken; the heavy robe would turn heads in her direction and make the thoughts of others linger on her. But the thought of having to show her face and her unmistakeably elven features made her uncomfortable. She had hidden beneath robes, hoods, and cloaks for years now and it would be a difficult habit to drop. Perhaps she could find a suitable compromise of comfort and anonymity in the morning. But for now, she turned her attention back to her current clothing and it's pitiful condition. An easy enough fix.<br/><br/>Galacia rose from her bed and quietly peeked around the edge of the separating reed walls to make sure she was free from prying eyes. Convinced she wasn't being watched, she returned to the bed, closing her eyes and reciting a quick incantation. As she touched her finger against the robe, an invisible ripple of force moved down her clothing, cleansing it of the salt water and sweat. She pinched the fabric in between her fingers, pulling the robe away from herself and examining it with a satisfied smirk. This was one of the few benefits of her gift, a benefit she greatly enjoyed. Laundry was less of a chore in her youth and more of an hour long task she could finish in five minutes and wander off for the other fifty five without fear of punishment...one of the few times she could escape the walls of her imaginary prison.<br/><br/>She wandered into the common room a bit ahead of schedule and caught sight of one of the other men sitting at a table by himself, weapons arrayed on the table and the man completely engrossed by the bow he held in his hands. Galacia smirked and laughed quietly to herself as she approached the table and rested her hands on the back of one of the chairs. ""I don't think all this will be necessary. They tend to kill the food before they bring it to you, you know."" She offered the man a teasing smile and pulled out her seat before continuing. ""Sorry. I can't say I remember being introduced to you on the ship. I'm Galacia."" She held her hand out and raised her eyebrows, expecting the man to offer his name in return."

He relishes the feel of soft fabric against his well-worn skin, feeling the musculature of his chest and ribs rustle softly against the cotton that had survived its passage through the sea relatively untouched. Fresh underclothes are also a relief, though the pants that cover them smell faintly of surf and salt. Still, small miracles that he had not lost everything within the swell of the storm. Lastly, once the soft clothing was secure he dressed himself in a breastplate embalzoned with the symbol of his faith, a large fist, upturned towards the heavens with a broken chain wrapped around the wrist across his chest. A quiet feeling of peace fills him as he latches every fastening and secures every hook, feeling once more whole with the holy symbol upon his chest.<br/><br/>Finding himself the first downstairs, he sees two others at a table and orders some bread--he was sure they were all as hungry as he himself felt, and some bread would allow them to enjoy whatever food came afterwards more fully, rather than wolfing it down simply due to hunger. Unable to stop himself, he breaks off a small crust of bread which disappears down his gullet rather quickly before gesturing for the other two to help themselves.<br/><br/>""Greetings,"" he nods, taking a sip of water to clear his throat. ""A strange turn it seems to be alive; past storms have found whole fleets of greater men than we dead ere they ever sighted land,"" he says before noticing a servant and flagging them down. When they come around, he orders for himself a hard cheese along with eggs and two persimmons if they have any handy. His manner is easy, confident, yet he doesn't smile overmuch and his words at times are tinged with a strange conviction that it would be hard for those not of the faithful to understand fully. The bookseller isn't noticed at all, despite the looks given that go un-received."

He occasionally cast a glance back towards the others, watching as they departed or took a seat as the case may be for each of them, his eyes appraising them each from a distance as he mentally examined the situation. There would be nothing wrong having some acquaintances while here, he thought. He was wary, of course, but the idea of having a handful of people who might watch his back was very appealing. Being in a foreign land without a single comrade was dangerous enough as it was.<br/><br/>Soon enough Brogan plunked down his silvers and completed the transaction in order to secure a place to rest his head that night. He departed for that area, and the fact that it lacked complete privacy mattered little to him. He wasn't modest, to say the least, and he knew most humans, elves and otherwise tended to -avoid- looking his way, rather than focusing on him. He quickly fished through his pack, checking on the security of his belongings as well as their condition, then made a quick change of clothes into something that felt more comfortable and less salt-laden. Once he changed, he cinched up his pack once more, and tossing it over his shoulder he made his way back to the tavern floor.<br/><br/>He found a table with the other three already gathered, and he quietly took a seat with them, glancing around at the various peoples gathered in the open tavern area. Not long after taking a seat, a server approached him, and he quietly request water and bread, along with some cheese. The server disappeared as Brogan gazed about the place, noting the interaction between some burly man and the hostess he had secured his lodgings from. It was an... odd... sort of greeting, but the woman did not seem to be in any real distress and in fact seemed to be holding her own against the boisterous man that she tussled with. It was enough to cause one corner of Brogan's mouth to slant upward in a smile. It was obvious the man and the hostess were at least old friends - if not something more.<br/><br/>Brogan's eyes roamed over the crowd. His gaze is unassuming but also unflinching. He avoids no one, no matter the dirty stares that his look might garner in return. His eyes meet the portly bookseller chewing on his pipe, though it might be obvious to most that Brogan was not a collector of tomes, recent or otherwise. His eyes move on to the half-elf selling cigars, and Brogan licked his lips for a moment. A cigar was an occasional treat that he indulged in, and after their harrowing incident on the boat that now rested at the bottom of the ocean (along with its captain), Brogan believe that was reason enough to indulge.<br/><br/>But not at this exact moment. At this moment, his mug and plate were served, and he paid the appropriate coinage - along with a fair tip - and settled into his drink and food with a barely-contained ferocity. His ears were open, though, listening to the other three if they spoke, curious to learn more about them."

Here she was sharing a table with a half-orc, a hunter, and a priest...it was like she was trapped in some sort of terrible joke. Galacia smirked to herself as she thought over several ways to end the joke just to amuse herself. As her boredom grew, she adopted a slouched posture and rested her cheek against one hand as she circled the rim of her drink with the other. She almost seemed to be contemplating something as her eyes moved around the table, studying each man in turn.<br/><br/>It was becoming apparent her present company was definitely not what she was accustomed to in terms of both manners and conversation - especially after witnessing Brogan tearing into his food like a lion attacking its prey. Her eyes settled onto him for a moment - partially out of awe for his appetite - as she considered the man in front of her. She couldn't help but think of the usual half-orc stereotypes that were passed around - how they were often negatively described as simple. But she kinda liked that about him. She asked him a question, he gave an honest answer. Someone served him food, he ate it. She wished everything could be so black and white and that everyone could be so transparent...especially herself. A pang of guilt rose up into her mind, a feeling that had been bouncing around since he he had been so open with her even after she offered him nothing. She hated having not told him the truth earlier, it was more an instinctive reaction than anything really...and she hated that about herself. Even so, she wasn't ready to tell him the real reason she was here - that they had more in common than he might think - especially not in this crowd.<br/><br/>Then there was the hunter, Calathes. She wasn't sure what to expect from him and judging by what she had witnessed so far, it almost seemed pointless to poke and prod at him to get some answers and learn more about him. She almost felt sorry for him. She had never met someone who hunted for a living. Maybe they were all this way? Detached, quiet, more interested in his weapons than his company. Much like with Brogan, she was content to leave him to his distraction - there was an issue more pressing in her mind at the moment.<br/><br/>Which brought her attention to Jin. He was the source of much of the lack of ease she felt at the moment. She couldn't shake the lingering feeling of hate she felt for him and what he represented. Galacia had a hard time trusting those with ties to the church given her life growing up around them and seeing them for what they really were. She imagined Jin to be like the others and in fact, she wished he was just so the feeling she had could be justified. Out of all three men at the table, she found herself most curious as to the nature of this man.<br/><br/>Her hand stops its stirring motion and her head tilts slightly against her hand as she looks over to Jin. ""So what<em>really</em>brings you here?"" She had heard his little charade with the innkeeper and found herself hardly believing a word of it. Priests were rarely so altruistic. ""I doubt the church would risk one of its own just so you could come down here and offer the settlement your stamp of approval."" She offered the man a feigned smile - trying to hide her intentions behind pleasantries - before looking around at the scene around her. ""They seem to be doing just fine without your guidance don't you think?"""

Or perhaps I'm a heretic on the run, here to turn the people against one of the sects?"" a playful smile plays across his face before his eyes grow harder, and the grin drains away slowly. ""None of those are true, unfortunately, or it would be a far more interesting story. No,"" he says, taking a piece of the unleavened bread, crunching it softly as he thought a bit more on his next reply. ""There are few circumstances where Maered teaches us to get what we want through lies. Action is the best leader, and lies only serve to wrap chains of deceit around those who hear them--or weave them for that matter.""<br/><br/>A sip of his drink before he continues, his tone becoming thoughtful, yet becoming more full of convinction by the moment. ""There are many chains that bind people to untruths and delusions--both literal and figurative. And ignorance of the proper path, of one's destiny, is one of those. Of course, I don't know the proper path. Not even my own,"" he shrugs taking another pull at his drink. ""Each person has their own path that they must follow, and it is the shackles that others lay upon us, or that we are taught to place upon ourselves, that prevent us from reaching our full potential. Sure, they get along without guidance,"" he gives a short wave of his hand at the gathered people filling the room, ""but how much more fulfilled, how much better off could they be if they knew that each and every one of them had a unique destiny, and a proper path to follow? Something to believe in, that was larger than themselves?""<br/><br/>""That said..."" he shifts a little, ""it can be hard to figure out one's true path--though not impossible. Just as you said, I'm a guide. I may be able to point out some of the signs on the journey, as both the past and the future are reflected inside each and every one of us, but in the end I'm just a guide, and can only sometimes see just a little farther than any other person."" He taps a hand on his breastplate for emphasis. ""If the church here binds the people with chains that tie them to a destiny not of their True Self's making, then I shall break those chains and guide the people to a more proper path. Even if it means that a holy institution need be destroyed. That said,"" he sighs, ""there are two sides to every one of the gods, no?"" he asks rhetorically. ""I pray the left-hand path does not take me--it has occured to members of my faith before. There is a darkness in all of us that needs to be watched lest it destroy everything--and in some of us it is deeper than in others..."" he murmurs the last words, perhaps letting them slip unheard within the din of the room.<br/><br/>A beat passes, a moment slides by, and he shakes his head softly, clearing it of morose thoughts. A beat of thunder goes by, but he looks unconcerned, taking another sip of the wine. He finally notices the bookseller's gaze and meets it unflinchingly. ""There something I can help you with, goodman?"" he asks him pleasantly."

It was downed quickly, chased with several draws from his large mug. Brogan often would enjoy something a bit stronger - but not after the sea-voyage he had just endured. It would be water for a time, until his body could adjust back to what it had been before the sea journey began.<br/><br/>The bread was a delicious appetizer, and as his eyes settled on steamed crab, he immediately offered up more coin for a helping of that. He had grown quite fond of seafood, and crab was a delicacy that he would not soon tire of. It was also a -messy- food, which appealed to him on some instinctual level, though he still gave a care not to splatter or send bits and pieces flying at the three who shared his table. Unlike many of his kin, Brogan did possess manners - at least to some degree, and he exercised them here.<br/><br/>Momentarily, Galacia addressed Jin directly, asking him of his motivations. Brogan was fine with that. Not being addressed meant that he could more quickly down his meal. But his ears listened, of course, curious to see what each of them might say.<br/><br/>Jin was a priest of some sort, which did not surprise the half-orc at all. Jin also enjoyed talking - which also did not surprise Brogan, either - priests were often wont to do that. In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if the greeters they had met earlier had gained his full attention - even beyond that of their enticing curves.<br/><br/>It also wasn't lost on Brogan that Galacia enjoyed asking questions - but did not share much about herself. Again - not surprised. A woman alone in this kind of world was at a disadvantage - usually. Galacia might have some hidden talents with blade or spell, he did not know, but she was guarded and that spoke of caution, and caution spoke of intelligence.<br/><br/>Calathes was a complete mystery. A hunter, by all appearances, Brogan found it hard to believe that he had come all this way, endured dangers and almost drowned in an effort to simply hunt rabbits. No - all four of them were here for reasons beyond the norm. That, or they were simply addled in the head.<br/><br/>Being non-religious himself, Brogan filled the long moments of Jin's speech with more eating. The fare was better than he had expected, and with the place being as busy as it was, he doubted the the food was apt to cause issues with the stomachs that consumed it. Brogan's attention was drawn to the stage with the crowd noise rose, and he watched the man give his speech like a bard back home, albeit this one didn't really appear to -be- one. The man spoke of things that obviously got the locals who knew him riled up. The man pulled a serving girl up on stage with him for a moment, to the delight of the crowd, and then continued with his 'performance'. Then there is talk of another performer, a hint, enough to keep patrons from leaving - but no promise was made by the big man.<br/><br/>Brogan smirked. No promise indeed. Stay awhile. Sit back and enjoy another round. Fork over your coin. You -might-... or -might not-... enjoy other entertainment that evening, but the only way to find out was to -stay-. -Drink-. -Spend-.<br/><br/>Then the music began, and while Brogan's expectations had been quite low, the music was actually not half-bad. The merry-making fills most of the crowd with cheer, and it is quite obvious that the huge man on stage was a local favorite. Some of the lyrics to one song were quite... explicit, and this actually caused Brogan to smile for a bit before he went back to listening to the music, using a small bit of cloth to clean his face when he was satisfied. Something was missing, still, and his eyes wandered for a moment over to the half-elf rolling cigars. That was it. If he could acquire one, or perhaps a trio of them, -then- the evening would be complete.<br/><br/>The bookseller continued to look their way, and Brogan was -starting- to believe that perhaps he had eyes for Galacia. She -is- attractive, Brogan admitted to himself, so it would not be out of sorts for the man to continually gaze this way, and he wondered if the others at the table had taken notice.<br/><br/><strong>""It seems the bookworm over there has eyes for you, Galacia,""</strong>Brogan said, his deep, gruff voice kept low in an attempt to reach only the ears of those gathered at their table, but loud enough for them to hear above the din.<strong>""He hasn't taken his eyes off you since you arrived,""</strong>he said. Was there a faint hint of playfulness in his tone?<br/><br/>Slowly, Brogan turned his chair to the side and rose to his feet.<strong> ""I shall be back in a moment. I am going to fetch a smoke.""</strong>With that, he turned and headed over to the half-elf woman, pulling up to a stop at her table with his coin-purse in hand. He nodded toward the small stack of product she had already finished preparing, sitting next to her on the table's surface.<strong> ""How much?""</strong>he asked. If they were fairly priced, he'd get a half-dozen, perhaps, and offer one to each of his table-mates. If the price was steep, he'd just get one. If the price was exorbitant, he'd simply return to the table empty-handed."

It may have seemed impossible for her boredom to become any more apparent but Galacia managed it somehow as her eyes drifted away from Jin and drifted toward the table, his words going in one ear and out the other. Her eyes moved up toward Calathes and Brogan briefly, inwardly hoping that one of the other men had a way to cut Jin short. But who was she kidding? Brogan was busy tearing into his food and Calathes had probably never interrupted a soul in his life.<br/><br/>It wasn't until Brogan spoke of the book seller that she snapped out of the trance-like state she entered during Jin's sermon. Her eyes snapped to Brogan at first, her eyes narrowing and eyebrows furrowing almost as if she had trouble understanding him as the fog cleared from her head. Still, she looked over her shoulder to look upon the man that had drawn the attention of the table, meeting his gaze with her own. Her instincts told her that Brogan misunderstood the situation; that wasn't the stare of a man with lust on his mind. But there certainly was a creepiness to the way he looked toward the assembled group.<br/><br/>Then he spoke, his words and voice adding to her unease. ""I umm... Excuse me."" Galacia stood and offered a polite nod and thin smile to Jin and Calathes before pushing her chair back under the table, wandering off toward the center of the crowd with the intention of clearing her mind and getting back to her mission. She needed answers, information about the town and the people in it, and she needed someone that had their finger on the pulse of Kraken. She scanned the crowd, completely unsure who to turn to due to her unfamiliarity with the town but a sly smile crept across her face as she realized it wasn't the crowd she should be paying attention to...it was the loud boisterous man on stage that should be the focus of her attention. He was perfect. He was obviously a local - or as local as one can be to Kraken - and judging by the way he carried himself he'd probably be more than happy to answer questions just so he could hear himself talk. All she had to do now was wait for an opportunity."

He didn't have his armor on - but he was armed. Perhaps that's what she was worried about. Brogan hadn't seen any prohibitions about being armed, which was a good thing on an island that was rumored to be quite the dangerous place. As he and the other passengers had learned, just -getting- here was not exactly and easy task guaranteed with safety.<br/><br/>He came to a stop at her table, hooking his thumbs in his belt as he looked down at the cigars that she had finished, noting the slender, nearly bare thigh where a cigar mid-construction rested. She, herself, was smoking one of her own products. Perhaps it was an advertisement, or a way to show others that her product was good enough even for the salesman to smoke.<br/><br/>She observed that he was new here. That wouldn't be a difficult deduction if she was a regular here, of course. He simply nodded silently, his nostrils flaring slightly as he took in the cinnamon-cocoa scent of her smoke. Good flavor, relaxing. These should do the trick just fine.<br/><br/>The seller explained that these leaves were dried for forty days, which caused Brogan to raise a brow, whether in surprise or doubt was not clear. She gestured him to examine one, and his eyes left hers long enough to glance down at the small pile she had apparently completed. They looked very professional, assembled by someone who obviously had skill in the craft. When she stated the price, though, his eyes shot back up to meet hers.<strong>""A silver -<em>each</em>-?""</strong>he asked, his voice hinting at a bit of surprise, though not outright outrage.<br/><br/>She offered him to take a sample, and he nodded, accepting the partially smoked stogie from her. He raised it up to his nose, turning it sideways to inhale the scent of the leaves directly. Nodding in satisfaction, he placed it in his mouth and inhaled a short, cautious breath. As he did so, he glanced around the common room at the crowd gathered around them.<br/><br/>Strangely, there was more than one set of eyes on him. More than one person shook their head in his direction, as if offering a look of pity. But more eyes looked upon him with a bit of malice - or jealousy, if he were to place a wager. Past or current lovers? Secret or not-so-secret admirers of the comely cigar-lass? It was difficult to say, though a look at the seller did not discount the distinct possibility based on her somewhat exotic look and pleasant build. Brogan (along with his stomach) was in no mood for games or mischief at this time, though, as he turned his attention back to her.<br/><br/>Slowly, he let the inhaled smoke exit his lungs and mouth, savoring the flavor. Just as slowly he nodded, then offered the remainder of the unsmoked cigar back to her.<br/><strong><br/>""A nice mix, cocoa and cinnamon,""</strong>he nodded.<strong>""A little sharp on the aftertaste, but not unpleasantly so,""</strong>he added.<strong>""I'll take six... for five silver?""</strong>he offered, already reaching into his coin-purse that he held protectively in his hand. He didn't know if she'd accept a 'bulk discount', or if she allowed bartering or not. If she refused, he'd shrug and still fish out six silver regardless, his feelings not hurt in the least."

appraisals of the companions at the table, and again in the general direction of Brogan.  Apparently, voicing his objection at any potential danger they might pose is.. suitable.<br/><br/>The food service has stalled, except where specifically requested, and a few begin to make their way from the main room.  They are efficiently replaced by a growing number of workmen who, apparently, found their meals elsewhere.  As the door opens and shuts, men can be seen at the door removing reed hats, raincapes, and the like.  Others simply enter soaked to their skin from the cool rain, seemingly relieved and invigorated by it.<br/><br/>Among that number are a familiar face here and there... a handful of crewmen from the lost ship, names lost to time but faces etched in memory.  When the music slows or stops altogether, Bairne's big voice fills the silence and is punctuated again and again with laughter as more and more men slow their consumption of food and replace it with drink.<br/><br/><hr/>NPC: Cigarmaker (Rossi)<br/>Tagging: Brogan<br/><hr/>The dusk-eyed young woman emits a scoffing laugh at Brogan's comment, then angles her eyes up at him.  ""Yes,<i>each</i>,"" she smirks as she reaches to retrieve the cigar, a faint brush at his lips from her long, warm fingers.  ""These are artistry.  If you want simple pipe-filler, you can gather up the stubs from these cretins.""  With a sparkling sidelong glance, she returns the cigar without hesitation to her own lips, and the tip glows alight in little winks at her puffs, and a thread of the oily smoke curls about her face.  She rests the cigar upon the tray then, considering as the last trails spill up and fan out from her mouth.<br/><br/>""Just like a man, asking for as much as he can get, if he knows he wants something..."" she sifts through her basket, re-inspecting each cigar to ensure the quality as she picks out five perfect-rolled sticks, ""And like a woman, too, I can give... and ask in return."" a sixth stick, dark and smooth.  She fans them before her, three to a hand.  ""Save the last one for a special occasion, no?""<br/><br/>Placing them on the table, she folds fingers together to form a rest for her chin, and leans closer.  There's a rather pronounced view of her cleavage at the neck of her shirt, the honey-brown skin smooth like wet sand after the receding tide, as she stares at him with the hungry assurance of a woman with an appetite.  ""I am Rossi,"" she says with a soft purr, a rolling of her tongue that is... well, promising.<br/><br/><hr/>NPC: Bairne<br/>Tagging: Galacia<br/><hr/>As Galacia makes her way toward the stage, the stocky man seems to glint his blue eye in her direction for a moment, making note of her as he continues to work the crowd.  He's somehow talked his way into a point of some jack-tale that involves a two-legged cat chasing a blind chinchilla on a frozen pond-- somehow this illustration ties perfectly into the strange demonstration he's making on stage, and there's a riotous chorus of laughter from the crowd as he perches face-down, suspending his weight entirely on one arm as he hops on that single hand across the stage, his legs suspended above the stage floor-- yes, completely-- in the air like a lurching, leaping bird.  The feat is amazing in both its comedy and in the effortlessness by which he achieves it.<br/><br/>The performance he's putting on doesn't seem to be phasing him in the least, and he finally halts the proceedings by bounding up and showing two broadly outstretched arms to fierce whistles and bold cheers.  ""Alright-- enough of my splendor for now, lads-- my cup has gone empty but my keg here is full,"" he gives a meaningful glance down before rolling his eyes comically.  ""So, yes, it's time for you good lads and lasses to head home-- the family entertainment is all done, now get the kids to bed for the love of Lisant, cause the only food you'll find here when I return will be PICKLED!""<br/><br/>He strides purposefully toward the edge of the stage, then-- in a graceful reversal, completely spins his body round to take stage once again.  Even so, some are filing out-- some dressed rather well, or perhaps conservatively.  A pair of leathery workwomen are hauling their husbands out by arms, some meeting protest, others resigned cooperation.  There's a distinctive whine from a merchant's son as he's shooed along by his mother.  ""Oh, and... lords and ladies, my eye be cloudy today, can thou not tell me once if that shadow yon-- does it not seem to move of its own?""  Some in the crowd crane their necks, others scan the rafters expectantly.  ""Perhaps the entertainment is not yet done!""  As the last of the patrons to slip out is replaced by a lingerer from the porch-- some already carrying cups, others raising their hand urgently for a waiter or waitress to give them cause to take a seat.  Bairne's voice is trailing off, his blue eye rolls across the crowd, and he strokes his blond beard in pantomimed consternation. ""My throat grows dry, my friends,"" he grins, handsome in his rugged and comical way, ""IF there be drinks in it, I may speak her name!""<br/><br/>There is a huzzah filling the room, and three mugs are thrust his way, each teeming.  ""AH!  that's the stuff--"" and he finishes a fresh mug of the Sangre in a long smooth swallow.<br/><br/>""And so be it-- friends, set your jaws and put your hats in your laps, for Vishny'a be here this evening!""  There is a hooray as Bairne takes the other two mugs nearest and, as the band plays to the roar of the crowd, Bairne moves ahead like a needle through cloth, claps on his back not even stirring him, as he clears a table with a sweep of his arm-- men shrink back, bringing their cups with them, as if afraid to raise his ire.<br/><br/>""Watch the band boys,"" he says clearly, and eyes avert.  The crowd has a renewed enthusiasm now, and drink is flowing freely as Bairne shrugs his massive shoulders through them.  He arrives before Galacia, and his broad hand sweeps a cordial invitation to the adjacent table, which empties obligingly.  ""Bairne the entertainer,"" he says in a cool and even purr. ""M'lady, to what do I owe the honor of your interest this evening..?"""

He stared dumbfounded at the man and his accusations. Could the man really be implying what he thought he was? Did he truly think that he had come to destroy the settlement, to undo the hard work that everyone had done to keep the place alive and kicking? It was boggling to the man, especially with the rudeness with which the accusation had been given. The bookseller knew him not at all, and more than that, did not even know what faith he followed. To call someone out just because of sneaking suspicions was laughable, as was the thought that someone who followed a left-handed path would let themselves be known after a simple question and accusation.<br/><br/>A soft sigh escaped his lips, inaudible beneath the murmur of the crowd. It was going to be difficult to reconcile the crowd's impression of him after the bookseller's words, and probably even moreso to impress upon the man the fact that he was not here to act with any sort of insidious intentions. Still, an effort had to be made; he had never had a way with words that others did, and often his words seemed to backfire on him. Moving slowly, the lack of aggression in his movements obvious despite the breastplate that adorned his wide chest and the symbol embalzoned upon it of a clenched fist ringed with a broken chain, he rose from his seat and neared the bookseller, giving Calathes room while focusing on the other man.<br/><br/>""Look over your wares?"" he asks, his voice carrying despite the din in the room. ""I'm a firm believer in the right-handed path--there is little to be gained for the greater good or to free people from their shackles for those bent upon destroying most things. That said, I may know as much of many of your books as you do,"" he softens the words with a smile. The man would probably take it for arrogance, words spoken to pretend at greater knowledge than he actually had, meant simply to impress and do no more. As though to ask for permission with raised eyebrows, Jin paused for a moment before fishing a book at random from the amongst the scrolls and other written materials the bookseller had.<br/><br/>""Ah, Van Richten's Guide to the Walking Dead,"" he mused, remembering the book from the dozens, perhaps hundreds he had been forced to digest while studying at the monastery while preparing for his most sacred duty. ""Very informative, if a little personal at times. I always felt that his description of the hungry dead was very apt and made sense, marred only by his personal tales to illustrate points to those who were unable to grasp the true depravities to which the hungry dead may stoop to sate their... hunger."" He glanced up at the bookseller, replacing the book in its place before and raising an eyebrow as though to ask if he had passed some sort of test."

Her eyebrow arched as everyone seemed to pull back from him and follow his commands, their eyes glued to the band, perhaps in anticipation of seeing this Vishny'a. Galacia had a suspicion she knew all too well what kind of entertainment Vishny'a offered considering the somewhat crude introduction Baime offered up and the fact that several wives had dragged their husbands from the establishment only minutes earlier. But for now, her mind and her gaze were focused on Baime as he made his way to her through the crowd that had gathered closer to the stage.<br/><br/>Her head turned as he gestured toward a table, the men seated there scattering as they earn his attention. Galacia turned back to Baime, looking genuinely impressed by the display. ""You seem to have quite the reputation, Mister Baime."" She offers the entertainer a grin before nodding toward the empty table, accepting his invitation and making her way there, introducing herself along the way. ""And my name's Galacia by the way, though I'm afraid I don't have any interesting titles or nicknames like yourself.""<br/><br/>She sat across from him, hands clasped together above the table and leaning slightly forward so she could be heard over the crowd and the band. ""Well, Mister Baime, the reason I sought out your attention is because I require a man of your talents. I'm new here as I'm sure you know - just arrived today - and I find Kraken to be...unusual."" Galacia paused for a second, smirking at her choice of words and looking to Baime to see if he agreed with her assessment of the town. ""It's so much different than what I'm used to. Which is where you come in. I need a tour guide of sorts, someone that can help me familiarize myself with the town, it's history, and the people here. And who better to tell the story of Kraken than Kraken's greatest storyteller?"" Galacia's voice and smile as she finished were almost flirtatious, trying to gain the man's interest and favor. She was obviously pandering to him, she made no attempt to hide that much but she suspected Baime would be the kind of man to appreciate such an approach."

That was a good sign of quality. Not to mention, the sample he had taken was very catchy to him, and when he had seen her work, the skill of her fingers and hands while working with the delicate leaves left no doubt in his mind that she knew what she was doing.<br/><br/>To her suggestion that he might pick-up the stubs from the local cretins, Brogan just responded with a short, soft grunt,<strong>""Hmm.""</strong>He had no intentions of doing that, of course, but he appreciated her defending her skill so colorfully.<br/><br/>Her comment about men made his lips curve slightly with the hint of a smile. The tips of his lower tusks were clearly visible when he smiled, short enough now to show that he was a young man amongst his kind. His eyes remained focused on her hands, noticing how deftly they moved, almost with a grace akin to a dancer. The flash of curiosity coursed through his mind's eye - how would those hands feel against his skin, he wondered?<br/><br/>She added the sixth cigar with a hint of intrigue, and he felt himself being lured in by not just her physical appearance, but also by her words. She fanned them out for him to see, and even recommended the sixth one be saved for something 'special'.<br/><br/>She leaned forward, then, resting her chin on her hands, and placing a pair of her greatest physical assets on display. Brogan's eyes lowered to gaze at her curves - he didn't even bother trying to hide the look. A woman was made to be gazed upon, he believed. Beautiful to entice a mate, it was the way of things, just as some animals displayed various plumage in order to attract attention, and in that regard Rossi was succeeding.<br/><br/>Likely, the woman was playing him for the fool in some way, and he had two strikes against him. First, he was a newcomer to the island, so he did not know her reputation. Based on the various glances and glares cast this way when he approached her, he assumed that she -did- have some sort of reputation. Second, most people considered half-orcs to be stupid and easy targets for their nefarious ends. Granted, many of his kind -were- dim-witted and slow, and easily duped. Brogan was not one of those people. Despite whatever luscious curves she possessed, no amount of smooth, dark skin was worth a life.<br/><br/><strong>""Why do I get the impression that in the native tongue here, 'Rossi' means 'trouble'?""</strong>he asked, smirking at her in return. But his hand lowered with the five silver pieces and stacked them gently on the table in front of her. He carefully began to retrieve the six cigars, his eyes frequently glancing up to her in case she wished to continue speaking.<br/><br/><strong>""And yes, as a woman you can give - and ask in return. So what is it that you would ask in exchange for the favorable price you agreed to?""</strong>he asked curiously. It was but a single silver's discount, so he assumed she would ask for a drink, or perhaps for him to rough-up some unruly person who had offended her earlier. But for the moment he looked down at her, waiting for her response."

He had surrendered the rifle he had been using, but a sidearm was still hanging from one leg.<br/><br/>His walk was cautious and his first instinct was to check for exits, but even with his cool under pressure demeanour it was clear to see that the Helicarrier had him impressed.

""Your dormitory is located on the central level, you need to have a retina and fingerprint scan to get in, as well as using a password. Failure to meet any of these will result in the security turrets to target you immediately, so be careful. Each one of you will get your own room, but the rest of the facility including the shower will be communal and unisex. I want you all to get acquainted, settle in, and report to the training facility. We have a..special boot camp session"""

At least at this rate, with the checks she was cashing, she'd be able to retire to Belle Meade instead of Bethesda. She'd risk far worse then the outlying possibility of faulty security technology for a paycheck. She didn't really care about, or for, Norman Osborn. The guy had a stick shoved so far up his ass he was obviously smelling his own shit and thinking it was nice. The fact he was the Boss was enough for her to pay her respect to the man, but blowing out the brains of some supervillain in front of the TV cameras was literally something anyone else could've done. He built up Oscorp which was respectful enough but through his own mania, almost lost it because he wanted to play supervillain for some godawful reason. But now he was the Boss, somehow. But to be honest, Olivia had a low opinion of SHIELD or HAMMER or whatever it was going to call itself. It was clear that SHIELD was Nick Fury's baby, and was flailing about trying to find its way after his departure.<br/><br/>SHIELD's post-Fury existence was the exact same thing facing similar organizations, whether it was post-Nelson Mandela South Africa or post-Steve Jobs Apple Corporation. Build something around a man and it grows a dependence on him. Remove him, and things go bad. Not that Olivia was troubled by it, SHIELD's problems were too her benefit. The cash was good, but the juice from the missions and adventures was even better. Her entire life she had been searching for that next rush, without losing her head and ever since she joined the good guys, she hadn't regretted 'leaving' her criminal life behind. In the short time she had been in SHIELD, she was being trained in things she always wanted to be trained in, played with toys she only heard rumors of, and engaged in plots and missions that left her giddy in the aftermath. Working for an organization that had the globe as a stomping ground was great, especially in a place as weak as her station, West Africa was.<br/><br/>Thus, to be pulled away from such a playground, she needed incentive. And being a member of the last Cape Killer squad on the books was incentive enough. Sure the risks were greater, but so were the rewards, and the rush... that would be amazing.<br/><br/>She tossed her duffel into her dormitory, barely noticing anything exceptional about her new 'home' away from home before noticing her new teammates were apparently desiring to get acquainted with each other, or feeling obligated to due to orders. She decided to get to know them as well, nothing lost in not investing herself into the team. After all, she knew she was a good team player, as long as the odds were in her favor.<br/><br/>""Aaron. Elira,"" she then said, walking up to the two right after Elira introduced herself. ""I'm Olivia. Don't hold it against me, but I'm American.,"" she added jestfully, figuring a self deprecating icebreaker could help break the awkwardness of meeting fellow Cape Killers for the first time."

Adam knew where he fell on the list of 'murderers, thieves & spies' and if that's what HAMMER was looking for he was entirely okay with it. Someone had to keep the heroes in check, everything that led up to the S.H.R.A. proved that not to mention the civil war that broke out as a result. Even Adam had heard about that. They wanted a team to fight the people nobody else could take down. ""<strong>Understood Sir</strong>."" Adam would have paid for the chance.<br/><br/>The group were led through the security that would blow them away if they didn't have their eyes or fingerprints. That would be inconvenient. Adam would have to make sure he always had his eyes. Wouldn't want to take a Nick Fury look any time soon. He was alright with that. A bit old fashioned for him. That was far from his mind once he was in the living space they had been provided. It was....<em>spartan</em>, but he wasn't one for excess comfort anyway. When the Irish Ranger came across what would from now be his bed he pulled off the the combat vest and harness he had been wearing. He had almost forgotten the feeling of not being weighted down like that. Under all of that he was wearing what was once a white t-shirt, to say it was sweat stained was a kind way of saying it was now nearly as much sweat as it material. Fresh t-shirts hadn't been on his priority list for a while but those fresh bed sheets looked mighty inviting.<br/><br/>When the group started making introductions amongst Adam stepped in. An Albanian and two Americans. Interesting. ""<strong>Adam</strong>."" he offered it with a nod. This would be the team he was chasing down the supers with. He didn't know any of them but if they were handpicked by HAMMER it was for a damn good reason. He could only hazard a guess what talents were hidden behind their faces at the moment."

She smirked slightly as she watched him restock his knives with newer ones, assuming that must be a signature weapon of his considering how many he carried. Elira had actually heard a bit about Aaron Shaw, though she couldn't recall from where. It wasn't much, she just had a vague idea about the line of work that he was in before, but it was more than she knew about the other two.<br/><br/>""No promises,"" Elira told Olivia after she'd joined her and Aaron. The girl looked rather unassuming, almost cute, even...but obviously she had to be extremely skilled if she was here. The fact that Olivia didn't necessarily look like it would only make her more dangerous. Elira was always fascinated by contradictions like those, so her interest was piqued for sure.<br/><br/>Sighing lightly, Elira pushed herself up off the couch with the intention of finding something to drink right when Adam showed up, so she extended a hand towards him. ""Pleasure to meet you, I'm Elira."" Unlike Olivia, Adam looked exactly like what he was and then some.<br/><br/>After they'd shook hands, she made her way over to the open kitchen area that was connected to the lounge and took a look around, seeing what she could find. The atmosphere was feeling a little dry, so Elira thought that it would be a good idea to seal their introductions with a drink and a toast to their new team. She returned to the group soon enough with a chilled bottle of vodka from the refrigerator in one hand and four shot glasses in the other.<br/><br/>Elira set everything down on the coffee table and regained her place on the couch before serving everyone their drinks. They had training soon, so they couldn't indulge too much, of course, but one small shot or two had never hurt anybody.

""Something I must admit though, boot camp? Really? I get that we're supposed to be working together, but how much more non-specialized training do we really need to be having?"" she asked her companions openly. ""I really hope this isn't some hoo-rah stuff meant to break us down and build us up again. I'm getting too old for basic style antics, you know what I mean?"" she then said before turning to the Irishman.<br/><br/>""I bet you know what I mean. You kinda look military,"" Olivia then threw out there, hoping to spark a little more conversation as she was already trying to build up a rapport with the team she realized she'd be working with. From her quick glances of her companions, despite the fact the two gentlemen seemed quite impressive and knew how to handle themselves simply from the way they walked, and most importantly of all, knew it, she was still a bit more leery of the brown haired Albanian woman. Well the two guys were definitely driven, and the Irishman had a bit of chip on his shoulder it seemed, Olivia was already feeling a bit leery of the fellow female on the team, getting a streak of shrewd darkness from her. Olivia could already tell from her eyes she was driven in a wholly different manner. It wasn't so much the thousand yard stare as something a bit more intense, and yet she couldn't quite place it because Elira was hiding it so well, even as Olivia accepted a shotglass from her. Misgivings aside, it seemed like the right thing to do."

Aaron lifted his glass and then set it back down without drinking. He didn't partake in anything that impaired his judgment. Sitting back Aaron spoke up after Olivia.

The cape-killer have their own facility however, kept within their super-secure compound. The reason it is so secure is because of the hardware that they keep inside. Top secret weapons that needed to be kept safe away from the eyes of the world. Inside the room is a wide area the size of two basketball courts. It looks empty, save for a few shooting targets in one corner and a few mats for hand to hand combat training, rather mundane really for a training facility that would be used for the most advanced military weaponries humanity supposedly has to combat superhumans.<br/><br/>""Welcome, cape-killers"" a deep voice echoed through the room as the the door opened and the cape-killers found themselves face to face with a literal god. Ares, God of War and a member of Norman Osborn's Avenger stood in the center of the room, his massive arms crossed  in front of his broad torso. The man truly has the stature of a god and even though Victoria Hand never found a man to be eye-catching, it was clear that she was still awestruck by the deity. ""Cape-Killers, this is your drill sergeant for today only, Ares of the Avengers"" She said from behind the God.<br/><br/>It may not be the first time any of the Killers lay their eyes on a god, not with Thor and (to a lesser extent) Hercules showing up on TV every now and then, but Ares is not a noble deity like Thor and he certainly is not a stupid goof like Hercules. He was almost human, the reflection of every soldier, every killer, every man who stood in the field of battle once, yet at the same time he posseses a regal quality owned only by immortals. Half Thor-Half Wolverine, that was how Tony Stark described him before the downfall of the mighty Avenger, now this beast along with the Sentry are part of Norman Osborns Avenger, 'the dark avengers' some jokingly call them. Not within Norman's range of hearing of course.<br/><br/>""I know each and every one of you better than you think""  Ares said matter-of-factly. ""All of you have been in wars of one sort or another. As some of the more learned bookworms amongst you might know, there are two god of wars coming out of Olympus"" he said, lifting a heavy footlocker that looks like it weigh a hundred Kilograms as if it was a mere book. ""We have divergent interests..The Chain of command, Rules of Engagement, this<strong>Geneva Convention</strong>thing..Medical Evac..The White Flag, The Red Cross..Worrying about refugees and evacuees..Taking prisoners, Losing the battle and winning the war!"" he dropped the footlockers with a loud bang, kicking them open. Within, the cape killers can see black armors with distinct silhouettes. Their armor. ""Cursed diplomats! The proper standards of grooming! SENSIBLE THINGS like having enough bullets before you go into battle!"" he yelled, using his foot to slide the heavy container towards the cape killers, eyes burning with violent excitement.<br/><br/>""Those are the dung my sister cares about.

""Might be wasted on me,"" she then said with a full smile, her face softening. ""Not exactly the type of person who can appreciate a good knife,"" she then added, before she did manage to toss it in the air about a foot and then catching it by the hilt again, without cutting herself. A brief flash of excitement crossed her face as she managed to pull off the simple enough maneuver.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Oh boy.<br/><br/>So many smartass remarks to make. Yet Olivia made none of them, even as they were on the tip of her tongue. She wanted to ask Ares about his jab on standards of grooming. She wanted to ask Ares if he was going to help them murder his old team members. She wanted to ask him if his son was going to be on the top of their list. So many things to troll this boorish Olympian ogre with, but she kept her mouth silent, and tried to offer up that nondescript, vacant blonde stare instead.<br/><br/>But she kept her mouth shut, because she didn't want to lose her head, literally speaking, on her first day.<br/><br/>Her eyes widened a bit, unintentionally, as the footlockers were... thrown... before her, the armor apparently clad within. She looked around the training room, noticing mats, a pistol sized firing range, and other things in the spartan training room. No changing area or locker room or even a mobile partition however was readily evident as she glanced down at her armor, then at her companions, then looking in Ares' general direction, but not actually at him.

For her part, Olivia was still wearing a tee shirt and a pair of male boxers, explaining herself away by stating they were 'comfortable' as she donned the armor herself. But her hesitation had almost cost her dearly when the simulation began just as she finished tying up her boots. She still had her helmet in her hands when the HYDRA agents showed up, or rather hard sound constructs of them which Ares ever so comfortingly assured her were practically the real thing. Olivia though had stopped listening when he mentioned sometimes about the Shiar, a reference lost on her. Probably one of those defense companies that didn't put out as much as Stark Enterprises or Lockheed-Grumman. She couldn't imagine there being a large market for hard sound constructs after all.<br/><br/>By the time Ares was punctuating his last sentence by literally laughing as the bullets bounced off of his Godlike Olympian hide, one of the nearest simulated green and gold goons was turning his assault rifle on her, not even bothering to aim due to the fact the distance between them was barely five meters or so, and because Olivia was a bit too dumbfounded to do anything beyond obligingly standing there with a blank stare fixed on her unprotected face and nothing but her helmet in her hands.<br/><br/>""I surrender!"" she screamed aloud to the simulation, both earnestly and instinctively as she started to raise her helmet clutching hands when the HYDRA soldier just seemed to chuckle a bit as he lifted the rifle from his hip to his chest for slightly better aim, almost guaranteed to hit at this distance. Cursing underbreath, Olivia, her hands in the air, suddenly jumped to the side while hurling the helmet at him in an overhead pitch with all of her might.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Dodging Bullets= 2 (base) + 1 (++-) = 3</div></div><br/>The assault rifle rattled off as soon as the simulated shooter registered her moving beyond just breathing in and out but the shots seemed to go wide, passing through the air she was standing in a moment ago as she scrambled off to the side, barely managing to regain her footing and then bolting forward, trying to clear the open ground between her and her adversary. His rifle was kicking back into his shoulder, the initial burst of his weapon causing the barrel to shoot upwards from the recoil, as he fired while transitioning from a hip shooting position to a shoulder one. Taking full advantage of her good fortune, she charged in at a sprint, not caring to dodge and realizing it wouldn't be much use anyways at this distance even if she fancied herself that fast. Which she knew she wasn't.<br/><br/>Instead as he turned to face her, barely shifting his aim twenty or so degrees, the only effort she made at dodging was ducking her head down low, bending at the waist as a second burst of ammo panned towards him as he didn't even bother to wait to line up the shot and with good reason. She collided with him, almost blindly reaching out a hand and pushing aside his weapon, her hand gripping its still warm barrel as with her other hand she gripped one of Aaron's 'gifts' and ignoring all advice and running solely on instinct, pulled her arm back and drove it forward and upward. ""DIE!"" she screamed in her first truly genuine moment since arriving on the helicarrier, the simulation actually bringing out her more reserved and hidden qualities rather decisively. But even fueled by the adrenaline, and the action, her blade skidded off a simulated trauma plate embedded inside of the front of the HYDRA troopers body armor. Instinctively, knowing most trauma plates weren't wrap around, as soon as she pulled her knife arm back, she drove it into the mans side, driving the point through the side of his kevlar and into his soft insides, targeting the kidneys to put him down. ""Die!"" she growled again, gritting her teeth now as she could feel the reward of cold steel driving through warm flesh, plunging into his soft internals and feeling him respond to the far from lethal stab wound.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Knife Kill= 1 (base) + 1 (+-) = 2</div></div><br/>He tensed up, practically standing on the tips of his toes before his body suddenly went limp with pain. But by then she was already stabbing him a third time, this time an inch higher, and her blade driving into him at a higher angle. She was punctuating each knife thrust with a growling verbal affirmation by demanding he 'Die' over and over again as she stabbed him again and again, each followup strike moving up the side of his body until her blade was sliding upwards underneath the side of his rib cage, hoping she could put some holes in his lungs as well, maybe even his heart hopefully though she had no idea if her knife was long enough or her strikes determined enough to do so. Either way, the simulated HYDRA goons death was so realistic that she found a satisfying rush in slaying him in a manner she was rather unused to but found exhilarating nonetheless as she pushed his seriously injured body off of her and simply jerked his assault rifle from his weakened grasp, already scanning the training area for her next target."

Even more incredible were the enemies that were created on the spot out of thin air - or out of 'hard sound', rather, according to Ares, whatever in the hell that meant.<br/><br/>Elira didn't pretend to understand the term or the science, but she did understand her job and the God of War's order. She was lucky in that the closest Hydra soldier hadn't targeted her, thereby affording her the time to draw her sidearm which she'd been carrying on her upon entering the training facility and had transferred to a holster on her new armor after equipping it.<br/><br/>She surveyed the scene briefly before finding cover behind a crate for a few seconds, anticipating where the enemies would be when she came back up based on the direction and speed that they had been moving in. Rising up from behind her cover, Elira found one of them just two feet away from the spot where she'd guessed and put four shots into his chest in quick succession. The enemy soldier collapsed and fell out of view, though whether or not the shots had been fatal would depend on the strength of his body armor.<br/><br/>Glancing around, Elira noticed the helmetless Olivia sitting on top of one of the Hydra soldiers, spending all too much time finishing him off in her opinion. Nevertheless, Olivia was on her side, so Elira shifted her focus to firing at any foes that might be approaching her occupied teammate."

As far as things went it would probably provide an ideal training program. It certainly looked authentic.<br/><br/>When a HYDRA soldier took sight of the Irish soldier and started to unload his rifle, Adam didn't stick around to find out how authentic it would feel regardless of the quality of the body armour they were wearing. Breaking into movement the soldier made for the nearest cover, a pair of crates that more than likely wouldn't hold out against sustained fire. While the first barrage of gun fire had harmlessly passed over head once he started moving he knew more would be on the way sooner or later. Reaching to his side the Irish member of the group drew his sidearm and took a sharp breath before springing out of his cover. The HYDRA Agent that had already tried to gun him down turned on the spot to take aim once more, but Adam fired first. One round hit the chest and one round hit the neck, he went down hard which was really not very surprising.<br/><br/>At that point Adam let loose the breath he had been holding and glanced about to assess the situation. They had a decent position to hold out against the initial wave of attackers but they had no idea how many there would be. They seemed about as well trained as an actual HYDRA Agent which was something at least. Quantity they could handle, quality would have been a problem.<br/><br/><br/>"

Trying to remain resolute, her legs merely quivered a bit as she smiled, an assault rifle liberated from the simulated HYDRA soldier she had apparently so admiringly stabbed to death repeatedly when as soon as the simulation ended, her weapon faded from grasp. Olivia let out a sigh, clearly caught blindsided and underprepared by the simulated ambush of HYDRA, but hoping that her antics and response would meet a similar level of approval from her less bloodlust fueled companions as she headed towards her locker, wondering if they were done for the day as she felt like her adrenaline was already dumped and mentally, she was feeling kind of spent already from being unprepared for such an ordeal, especially in the middle of the helicarrier no less.<br/><br/>But sure enough, another door was rolling back and she glanced in her footlocker, looking for a big gun because the door rolling back was actually quite large. Unfortunately there was a discernible lack of artillery in her locker as compared to a mere rifle when the Rhino of all villains suddenly thundered into the room and Olivia immediately frowned.<br/><br/>Her frown disappeared when the massively monstrous villain suddenly broke into a bull headed charge right towards Elira and herself, as she groaned to herself, not even bothering to fire as simply bolting in the one direction with the most space off to the side as the massive villains shadow already engulfed her body and she saw the Rhino's massive horn lowering down to chest height, easily capable of skewering her, armor or not.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Base Athletics: 2 - (- - +) 1 = 1</div></div><br/>Beating feet as fast as she could across the floor, she immediately began to regret every choice she made up to this point that led her to SHIELD and this exactly moment when as she glanced over, feeling genuine terror over her livelihood, she turned to see the villain suddenly towering over her, or would've been as she saw its head lower to the point he was practically stampeding towards, powerful legs propelling a half ton of pure muscle and bone towards her with the force of a locomotive. Olivia could almost see the last moments before impact in a surreal slow motion, moving as fast as she could, her legs pumping as fast as they could. She could feel the burn in her calves as she tried hyperextending her muscles, stretching outward, futilely trying to avoid the inevitable impact but could see the horn drive forward, and then slowly slip out of sight, too low for her eyes to follow as she glanced over her shoulder.<br/><br/>Her body tensed for impact, muscles tightening, fingers clenching, a surge of adrenaline shooting through her body as she felt an almost euphoric rush, followed by a sudden overwhelming release as the sharpest, briefest flash of pain erupted from her side, followed by an overwhelming numbness that left her body feeling tingling, almost instantaneously limp. Her feet kept running forward, fueled by mere muscle memory and nerve endings flying before realizing her feet were simply kicking through air. In the back of her mind, she didn't think of the regrets anymore, only the rush of excitement of facing death. Those Kido Butai pilots were right. As her vision faded to black she felt like it really was as light as a feather.<br/><br/>Almost floating even.<br/><br/>She didn't even feel her body being hurled into the far wall a few dozen feet away, smashing against it with a dull thud before bouncing off the metallic sides and crumpling to the floor."

Elira exclaimed incredulously upon hearing Ares' description of their next challenge, frowning behind her helmet. She'd certainly assumed that the Hydra goons were only a warm up, but she'd expected things to escalate a bit more linearly, like perhaps being pitted up against some more heavily armed and armored foes. She certainly had<em>not</em>foreseen the transition between fighting some projected footmen to going up against some sort of metahuman in a deathmatch.<br/><br/>Thought his physique didn't quite match up to that of the God of War, Rhino was still the largest non-divine being that Elira had ever seen in person by a landslide, and somehow she doubted that small arms like her pistol would be of much use against this beast.

She could feel the high tech polymers and other materials straining to remain intact while the supervillain lifted her up off the ground effortlessly and squeezed, apparently trying to crush her skull. When he realized that the armor wouldn't be defeated so easily, it only seemed to anger him even more, prompting him to lean forwards so that he could repeatedly smash Elira into the ground, the force of each impact rattling her down to her bones despite the armor absorbing a substantial part of the kinetic force.<br/>"

It is deep within the confines the Institute that you find yourself, having been called to the antechamber of one of the many meeting rooms to await your next mission. You see some others beside you, some you know by reputation or through the work you've done safeguarding the existence of Valoran as the world knows it, others you've only passed while walking the maze of corridors that saturate the large building as well as its many basements and sub-basements.<br/><br/>You've fought monsters, stopped wars, destroyed potential threats, and solved the most insidious of puzzles to reach your current standing. Few have been able to stand in your way, and even fewer have proved a challenge. But for all of you to have been brought here, together, is a strange thing. Perhaps the coming mission is far more than any of you have ever faced, and may well test the very boundaries of your capabilities, as well as those of your allies.<br/><br/>The antechamber itself is a well-lit room with two exists, one into the small meeting room that holds the holoprojector, capable of projecting illusion into the very air. Within is a small table filled with various prints of different subjects including some of the national news--the continued and growing unrest between Demacia and Noxus, nothing new there, the powerful magics that the Institute had worked to freeze the village of Kalamanda and transform it into the Field of Justice now known as the Crystal Scar, the preparations for the Cherry Blossom festival of the Spring that would take place in Ionia, and more. There were also prints filled with puzzles to entangle the mind and confuse the wits, the latest gossip pages (Vi having been seen chasing after Ziggs, Teemo and Tristana having been seen eating together at a restaurant...), and other yet others covering various subjects from pets to carpentry.<br/><br/>You still have a few minutes to speak to the others in the room before the due time for you to enter the meeting chamber from which barely-heard voices could be made out, muffled by the thick ornate iron-and-oak portal separating the two rooms."

Her walk seemed to ooze sensuality and sexuality which was in big contrast to how she was currently dressed. Unlike most of the champions that strode the halls wearing colorful livery and gleaming armor she was dressed in what seemed like peasent clothing. The scent of horse hide clung to the air around her and bits of hay was tangled in her long honey blonde hair. The summons had said urgent so she had stopped what she was doing and came. Even with smudges of dirt and a floppy hat covering half her face, her beauty, that had begun to cause all sorts of rumors, was barely dampened.<br/><br/>Zhara lips curved in a ready smile as she looked over everyone as they arrived. Pulling an apple from a pocket she rubbed it with a clean cloth and then bit into it, clearly enjoying the flavor and texture. She walked around half reading the various things and taking delight in the day and the beings she saw gathering."

The idea of 'hearth' and 'home' was something that was never really instilled in him. Whatever possessive emotions he had about a home had always been about those within it, and a house for himself would be empty while he was gone. There was no ego for a title or a holding, as both seemed to require responsibility and distraction from the missions given by the Institute of War. Having an elaborate house didn't seem prudent with how much he was traveling. Bresnahan had a room in the Institute of War, a small place for him to sleep while he was in the area. He had plenty of money to retire as well, but the thought had never crossed his mind -- there was still so much of the world to see.<br/><br/>The Institute's missions were always risky. As he grew in skill, the danger of the missions increased with them. The adrenaline rush was half the fun, making up for years he didn't get to live, by living to the fullest in those moments. The missions allowed him to see more of the world that was just in the back of his brain. Every new experience for him felt like deja-vu; like catching the word right on the tip of your tongue. He struggled between what he did and didn't know, and actually having the new experience was the only way to create a concrete memory. He welcomed every mission, and this new one was no different.<br/><br/>Bresnahan was hardly a card carrying wizard for the Institute, and his talents didn't make many wizards enamored with him. Still, when Bresnahan wanted to watch the alchemy and spellcraft labs, he was given the lee way to do so, as long as he kept his distance. Attempts to argue that he should leave were quickly rebuked, and while Bresnahan never intended to lean towards intimidation, his reputation tended to precede him. He was overseeing just such a project when he got the message. The prospect of a new mission quickly proving more interesting than an experiment he wasn't privy to the details of.<br/><br/>The letter claimed urgent, and Bresnahan had little else occupying his time anyway. He made his way down the maze like halls with a proficiency that came with practice and memorization. He stopped by his room to grab what little supplies he wasn't already wearing, before heading out to the antechamber. A black sleeveless shirt was tight to his torso, clinging to his trim frame and going high up his neck. His arms were bare, showing the markings running down one arm, but wearing a pair of fingerless gloves on each hand. A heavy belt was around his trim waist, more for holding pouches and his swords, than it was to hold up his pants. Black pants hugged his waist, but billowed out as they went down his legs, before cinching into a pair of black boots.<br/><br/>He stepped into the antechamber, giving a glance around at the collected, and seeing only Zhara there. He gave her a nod, glancing her up and down. He had heard of the woman, but their paths had never crossed. He had no reason to be concerned, after all, they were theoretically on the same side. The smile stayed on his face, as he made his way over to the table to idly scan across it. He looked back, ""You're... Zhara, right? I'm Bresnahan. Any idea what they called us in for?"""

In the finery of the institute it looked rather inappropriate, especially compared to the antechamber. His composite bow, made from a tree which had been struck by lightning (or Xerath), was strung and held loosely in hand. It was said that Wyren was never without his bow, only letting go of it to eat or perform other duties, and never letting it more than exceed a distance from him than he could reach. There were rumors about he and his bow. Then again, in a place like the Institute, there were always rumors of some kind.<br/><br/>For his part, he looked fair enough. Nothing you'd generally look twice at, compared with a great many of the more laudable figures of the fields of justice, but his matured features of bronze, sable, and green (clothing, not natural features), blended together nicely to give him an air of calm neutrality. He was anything but neutral. Calm, most of the time, but even so he was not level headed. He was precise, like the finest of Zilean's timepieces, and had shot arrows with the lady Ashe herself. Speculation was that he had won, though he certainly would never tell. It would be rude to one-up a champion. It would also be unwise, as the lady Ashe could summon frost from the heart of the Freljord and freeze him where he stood to die.<br/><br/>Though he noticed the others gathered in the chamber, he did not speak to them. He wasn't trying particularly to be rude, but it likely came off that way regardless. He just invariably didn't know what to say to others."

Wrongs had been righted, lives had been saved, justice had been upheld -- these were all good things, no doubt. Heroic. These things helped to keep the fabric of society knitted together, when so many forces were arrayed to tear it apart. These things, though, did nothing to quiet the cries of the hundred souls that Borpal carried within him. A hundred men, women and children exterminated in a day in a massacre that he could not yet bring himself to regard as random. There had to be a reason, a cause, a justification. There had to be someone who could be made to pay for the blood spilled in the Bubbling Bog so many years ago. For if not, then why did the powers of Mud and Mist grant him such strength? If not, why did the Gods make him their champion? Or was it perhaps only one more cruel joke on the part of Fate?<br/><br/>As the grippli drifted down the vaulted passageways of the Institute on his well-worn flying carpet he wondered if this day, like none before, would bring him answers. He automatically adjusted his altitude to avoid those who walked the halls, murmuring commands to the enchanted device in his native tongue. As far as he knew he was the only grippli at the Institute; certainly he had never met another, and his odd method of conveyance was now a common and unremarkable sight.<br/><br/>There were three already present in the antechamber when he arrived. His large glistening eyes took them in, their names floating up in his memory. Wyren, Bresnahan, Zhara. The archer stood alone while the other two conversed. Borpal had worked with none of them yet, but each had reputations. Top tier operatives, one and all. Clearly today's mission was something of great import. Or, possibly, something ceremonial. He hoped it wasn't the latter. Impressing dignitaries in exhibition fights did nothing to honor the trust he had been granted.<br/><br/>Borpal drifted toward Wyren and down, until the frog-man hovered at the level of the archer's waist. He noted the man's bow, held in hand, and briefly wondered if he should have come armed as well. ""Mister... Alsatt, is it?"" He offered a small webbed hand. ""I am Borpal, of the Honeytoe Tribe. Unless I have you mistaken for someone else, I hear you're something of a legend with that bow. I look forward to working with you.""<br/><br/>"

Nor knew I your name before now, Borpal. Which is not to belittle your efforts, the stories merely refer to you as I have named you. I hope you will grant me that your race is an uncommon sight and not think less of me for my... hell, I can't talk like this. Just don't be hurt because I don't know the proper term for frog-man. So much damn politicking goes on in this place."" He spit on the floor, ignoring all propriety. ""And it's Wyren, mister Alsatt is real dead and as I have no missus I have not taken up the title.""<br/><br/>The flying carpet got an askance look, but more because of the man's distaste for sorcery than any affront to the Grippli himself. It wasn't as though he was asking if he was too good for the floor. Some people never set foot on the ground. He seemed to recall that Janna floated, as did some others. The carpet was what drew his attention. How, with a frog-man atop it, did it not grow slimy? Did he clean the thing? Ignoble as the thoughts were, these were the idle considerations of Wyren. Yet another reason he spoke little. Words only seemed to upset people. Let the other people talk and let him shoot things, as far as he was concerned that was how it should go."

As she finished chewing her smile grew as she spied the being floating in on the carpet. She had heard of the 'frog-man' and learned what she could about it...err him. She was so amazed and delighted at the variety of beings here, all shapes and colors and types yet the Grippli, as his race was called, was completely new and to her delightful to see. If he was to be a part of whatever was to happen she would enjoy discussing many things ...as well as finding out if the rumor of his very long tongue was true.<br/><br/>Zhara had of the late been trying to avoid certain advances from a senior member of the Institute. The lord was not only not someone she would normally find attractive but there was the hint of evil to him. Around him. Clinging to him. She was not yet sure what the cause was but it did make her skin crawl and so being summoned for a mission was hopefully a way to disfuse the problem...for now. She had left a dozen or more broken hearts in her wake over the past 10 years and still there were those that would pursue her. The rumor was that like her goddess a night or two in her bed would tame any man or beast. Of course that was just nonsense...though at least one champion has left the Institute after she was finished with him.<br/><br/>Zhara murmurs a prayer of thanks and guidance to Ishtar and then looks at Bresnahan and nods toward the other two as she walks over to greet them.

Each flick was faster than the eye could follow, and each one signaled the disappearance of one of the fish and rice treats. He chewed only briefly, nearly swallowing each morsel whole. He wasn't a savage -- his tongue touched only the food that he had consumed, leaving the nearby treats unmolested. But then again, he wasn't sure if his companions would see things the same way.<br/><br/>""Most delicious, Sweetwater. I thank you. I am Prince Borpal of the Honeytoe Tribe.

He had a lilt in his voice, that wry grin making the question straddle the lines between rhetorical, serious, and playful. He did nothing to keep the woman from walking away, giving a nod of his head as the minimal amount of a bow as possible as she passed by. He kept his stance off to the side for the moment, glancing over at the other pair that had entered in after. They all had strong reputations, and he found himself already trying to deduce whether this team was assembled out of complimentary skill sets, or if this was a desperate move to throw all their best assets at a problem.<br/><br/>When Sweetwater entered, he glanced at the food. He moved over at the offer, giving a smile and a nod before taking one of the pieces. Borpal's tongue snapping out made him flinch before he could pick up a piece, his expression quickly fading from concern to amusement at the action. The Grippli had Bresnhan's silent attention, the boy leaning down to look directly at Borpal's mouth; as if weighing the social faux pas in experimenting with another person's mouth. He eventually erred on the side of caution, deciding it wasn't worth risking ruffling feathers at this stage. He finally took his piece from the plate, giving it a sniff that was clearly to enjoy the experience, versus any concern of how fresh the fish might be. He raised it up as a mock toast to Sweetwater before popping the piece into his mouth. He perked up and nodded his head as he analyzed the strong flavors, taking a moment to talk, regardless of the fact that he was still chewing, to introduce himself, ""I'm Bresnahan."" He finished, swallowing the food before finishing, ""Thank you, that was very good.""<br/><br/>The order came, and Bresnahan moved into the room to obey it. His head moved about as he scanned the walls and ceiling, though it was always hard to pull his eyes away from the Summoner standing across from them. He took a seat as offered, leaning into the edge of the table with his arms on the top, as if somehow being closer would help him hear the details any faster. He nodded along with the explanation, his eyes narrowing in concentration as the mission itself was actually laid out. Once the floor was opened up, he finally seemed to relax enough to lean back, ""Well I'd ask you about the man suffering Exterminus, but I suppose that defeats the purpose of the punishment... is there anything you can tell us about the Artifact?

Zhara, this seems like it might be rather up your shining alley. Can your temple spare us a few kegs of holy water?

Her purple eyes glimmered as she quietly listened to the comments of those that had been summoned as well as the tone of the hooded summoner.<br/><br/>Zhara had considered everything she knew about those gathered and wondered a bit at the desperation  of the summoner. He now set a time limit for them to leave and was arranging magical transport when it was far easier for them to ride. What that meant in her experience was that someone else was already well on the way. Or the summoner had information they did not want to reveal. If it was as serious as he claimed then a group of the major champions  should have been gathered. These thoughts slipped through her mind quickly and then her sultry voice spoke "" Well M'lord, I do have a few questions and observations...you say this artifact has an aura to it one we can feel...is it Evil?

Normally Borpal would have wished days to plan such an expedition, and to learn the capabilities of his teammates. Despite his often jocular facade he was far more comfortable when the plan of attack was well laid. At least he felt he could trust in Zhara; her reputation was unsurpassed, and her devotion to the cause was clearly resolute. He hoped that his motion to place her in charge would be echoed by the others.<br/><br/>""I'm certain that the mission will be a success, according to your established parameters, Summoner."" Privately he agreed with Zhara; if this artifact were as evil as some, then seeking its destruction was the only valid option. But to raise an argument over this point now was foolhardy. Once they were in the field they would have no oversight, and if accidents occurred they could be handled at a later time.<br/><br/>Still, the Summoner's attitude irked him. For such an important goal, it seemed that the Summoner was more concerned with making his appointment for dinner. No matter -- power did not exempt one from an inherent peevishness.

The summoner's busy schedule made Bresnahan quirk an eyebrow again quizzically; giving their handler the benefit of the doubt meant there was something equally, or more, important that was also being discussed. It didn't merit pressing ahead, he had faith in the Institute so far, and it was hardly his job to handle every problem they saw. He had his job, and he was more than happy to begin as soon as possible.<br/><br/>Most of Bresnhan's preparations were already done. The distinction between being 'mission ready' and every day readiness was a very slim factor. There was always a small itch in the back of his head that he'd have to move, that there were still people after him, no matter how quiet they had been lately. All of the necessities to survival, to suddenly being away from civilization, could be vital at any moment. A bag of holding kept everything tidy; even holding the pair of short swords when situations wouldn't permit him to wear them.<br/><br/>He had experienced the Warp spell in the past. Though the specific room in the Institute being used was new to him. He arrived there early, double checking his gear to make sure there was no last minute shopping to do. He took a seat against a wall, only standing back up when the others arrived. He was calm during the spell, lifting himself up at the last moment before the spell so as to appear a couple inches over the ground when the spell ended. It allowed him to react to the landscape and land carefully. He let gravity drop his center, quickly scanning the room to make sure the exit of the Warp spell wasn't compromised.<br/><br/>Bresnahan glances around to make sure everybody survived the Warp, willing to accept some unease at the method of travel. He makes his way right for the door, leaning in to listen through it quickly, more as a habit versus actual concern. He opens the door carefully to get a better bearing on where they are."

He'd heard of people going insane from solitude. How could solitude not reinforce your sense of self and your will to be? It was only the weak-minded who found isolation a trouble unless they were facing overwhelming odds. Wyren liked those times. They were where you earned glory and honor in the field of battle.<br/><br/>At least preparations were in order. He hoped that the grippli would not spook the horses with his nature or his flying carpet, and he also hoped the horse would not be too small for Sweetwater, whose hand was now on his shoulder. It hadn't come as a surprise thankfully or he might have stabbed it with an arrow. ""Yes, but people who think that way are the ones who agree that any battle you walk away from is a victory.""

Within are a baker's dozen horses, each one well-groomed, and most of them good natured, softly whinnying in a friendly manner at the man's approach. Even one unschooled in the knowledge of animal husbandry could tell that they are well-cared for, and that whoever tends to them takes their job seriously. Fresh hay and water fill the bins, and more feed is packed outside in large bundled cubes, ready to be broken down and delivered to the feeding trays, and saddles, bits, and bridles are organized neatly in one corner, oiled and ready for use.<br/><br/>Back outside, Oswald nods shyly at Sweetwater's name, and offers his own before blinking in surprise at her offer. ""Ummm... yes?"" he asks in a confused voice, obviously unsure whether the half-giantess meant to cook<em>for</em>him or to cook<em>him</em>.

The horses were brought up, and Bresnahan smiled. With how rude their send off was, he didn't expect them to actually offer those kinds of amenities. It was good to know his faith in the Institute had paid off.<br/><br/>He looked to Borpal and Sweetwater to see if their conversation with Oswald was done, giving a nod to signal he was ready to start their journey whenever they were.

Had there been other horses sent out? It wouldn't do to leave poor Oswald with no animals to tend to, he'd go truly bonkers in such a case. ""I think five wands is almost excessive. One or two would be a compliment or a gift, five... I think that yes, he is proposing that he would like to show her a differing sort of wand and demonstrate his acuity with it."" There's no scorn in his voice, he's not trying to be mean. There's actually a level of pity because Wyren doubts Zhara would lower herself to such a thing, meaning Oswald not perverse acts. Oswald was beneath the level of the gathered champions, cordial dismissal was about all he merited, decent though he seemed at his job.<br/><br/>""My tribe marries between other tribes to keep the bloodlines varied. We may have many relationships, but when we choose a mate, it is supposed to be for life. The only<em>acceptable</em>reason to remarry is after the death of your other.

A smile briefly makes its way across his features with a tear or two in its wake, but then he's back on the alert, disciplined as always. ""I however have found no such partner and, being so far from my tribe, know little of how I would handle negotiations for such."" An honest admission. Borpal was right, the workload they had left little time for Wyren to pursue any sort of romantic relationship. He had a schoolboy crush on Ashe, but knew her to be out of his league. Other women he encountered were generally either not worth his time or not interested in him. After all, he was beyond 30. No spring chicken any longer, not much of a catch to begin with, and who knew how long he'd be around to care for any resulting children? It was certainly a thought that would be on the minds of would-be spouses. Wyren was fortunately oblivious to all of this. He was just too busy to think about his duty to continue the line of Alsatt."

He clicks his tongue, ""If he wants to help, I certainly don't mind. I appreciate the assistance, and whatever effort was put into getting that assistance.""

He's either dedicated to the cause, or uncomfortable with the topic.<br/><br/>He chuckles softly, shaking his head as if the past conversation were a layer of dust that was still haunting him. He waves his hand across the air, similar to how he might meeting people for the first time, ""I'm not sure what the rumors about me are.

She moves forward, lashing out at the enemy, intent on taking it down but to no avail, missing her target entirely. Meanwhile, Borpal quietly croaks at the mouth, able to see but stock still on his flying carpet and unable to move and Bresnahan begins the movements of a complex spell.<br/><br/>Another shot from the second undead behind the far boulder, this one aimed at Zhara as the other undead that killed her dogs sinks into the ground, or only to rise and take a swipe at her soft flesh, ephemeral claws flashing in the pale sunlight. Seeing the others ganging up on Zhara, the second scyther behind the rock joins in the fun, swinging its scythe at her as well! Wyren's arrow hits the back of the undead's torso, and the thunk is actually more satisfying than he had though--it looks to be on its last legs!<br/><br/>Sweetwater thinks quickly, and sees Borpal on the carpet, unmoving and unable to act. She quickly begins to prepare her psionic power, lashing forth precisely as the undead archer shows itself. Cursing can be heard from it as bits and pieces fall off--and rather than continuing to fight it takes off, floating in the air and attempting to run away before it is completely destroyed. Two scythe wielders attack Bresnahan and Sweetwater in tandem, but where Sweetwater easily evades each stroke Bresnahan's luck is worse off, forcing him to attempt to resist the negative energy coursing through the blade and potentially interrupting his spell! As though to add injury atop injury, the bleeder lashes out, this time draining the blood from Bresnahan's body rather than lashing out with claws before once again sinking below the ground.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">OOC</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Undead 5 @ Zhara: 31 attack, 14 damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4310591/), on hit roll a Fort save (DC 25) or Paralyzed<br/>Undead 2 @ Zhara: 36 attack, 19 damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4310592/), on hit begin bleeding for 1d8 damage at the start of your turn<br/>Undead 3 @ Zhara: 38 attack, 16 damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4310594/), on hit DC 26 Fort save or take 4 negative levels<br/>Sweetwater @ Undead archer (readied action): 82 damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4310595/) (failed save)<br/>Undead 4 @ Sweetwater: 23, 24, 16 attacks (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4310602/) - all miss<br/>Undead 7 @ Bresnahan: 40, 36, 14 attack; 13, 13, 13 damage; 4, 2, 4 negative levels on failed save.

Her teeth are easily visible where her mouth and jaw should keep them hidden from the world. You can see traces of rot where bacteria has taken its course, digesting her face away, yet she shows no discomfort and her teeth show no sign that they have rotted away, a shining white, though crooked from the lack of orthodonty, unavailable to most in this world.<br/><br/>She moves forward, only a pace or two, and the zombies follow in lockstep, all surrounding her in an almost protective nature, and she waits for you to approach, making no sign and waiting for you to make the first move.<br/><br/>The woman.

Grand adventures, like the ones in bardic stories and old tomes she wasted her youth with. Summoning magic came naturally to her, and when<strong>Victoriana</strong>and<strong>Dora</strong>spends day after day their heads in the old tomes, they finally made their first spells. They were simple at first, and soon they started to test their limits, causing more havoc that good with their newly found powers.<strong>Master Raginoz</strong>, her mentoring mage, did not even know that<strong>Dora</strong>were taking lessons too, but he descided it was time for more drastic measures, as young<strong>Victoriana</strong>was slipping away from the tight lessons of<strong>Wee Jas</strong>,<strong>goddess of Suel magic</strong>. He brought in an Ruby Sorceress of his order, who made sure, the teachings were all good in the eyes of the<strong>Ruby Goddess</strong>. That was the downfall of<strong>Victoriana's</strong>relaxed mentoring, and she needed to leave<strong> Dora </strong>out from the real mentoring of her new conjuration mistress. She still made sure, she passed most of the newly found information to her childhood pet and her friend. Years grew, and<strong>Victoriana</strong>was shown how to command over lesser being, and to form an bond with animal. Of course,<strong>Mistress Alexandra</strong>thought of her pet cat, but<strong>Victoriana</strong>sensed it, and made preparations that<strong>Dora</strong>was nowhere to be found at the time, so Ruby Sorceress had her fathers men bring an egg of an mountain hawk to her, and when it hatched, she was to bind its feeble soul to hers, to do her bidings.<br/><br/>At her 16th birthday, year after<strong>Mistress Alexandra</strong>had left them,<strong>Victoriana </strong>used her now formidable powers to imbue planar energies on her hawk familiar, trying to awake it, as her friend<strong>Dora</strong>was awoken, but her powers were not nearly as potent, as those of the elves.<strong>Slayer</strong>gained much, but their power diffrence was huge.

She hoped she had listened what<strong>Mistress Alexandra </strong>had been teaching her about strict justice. On her way to the town, her carriage was assaulted by an marauding band of orcs. House guards fought but were quickly over matched.<strong>Victoriana</strong>used her magics to keep the orcs away, but it was clear. They would run out at some point, and if darkness would fall, orcs would have superior advantage. Gods were merciful, when band of mercenaries swooped on the orcs, and managed to drive them away, saving her and her handmaiden.<br/><br/>After match of the battle, she met the leader of those men and her young heart was racing, when her eyes laid on their dashing captain."

However, during most harshest winters when Aren was just seven a white dragon assaulted family's hold and dragon killed everyone....expect Aren who had been snuck into small narrow gap in founding stones to elude both dragon's senses and it's frigid breath which froze his family members into frozen statues which dragon then devoured in his sight....only his father's advice to 'keep quiet at all cost' kept him quiet as he watched his family slaughtered.<br/><br/>After dragon left, Aren half-naked started run through the freezing tundras to try reach nearest Jarl's hold. He started suffer hypothermia, he collapsed and woke up and he noticed he had been saved by a dwarf! The dwarf was a hermit spirit of his kind and unusual one who prefers the freezing open tundras to the security of underground and prefers hunt game in the surface. He had found Aren in the frozen fields laying there half-buried in snow and it had taken good week or two before he woke up.<br/><br/>Aren spend good two years with the dwarf and over time he gained his trust and respect, learning dwarf's name was Durnik Stonearrow (http://www.elfwood.com/art/s/a/sabrar/archer_d1.jpg). In age of nine Aren had learned many things from Durnik and in that time he had decided he will slay the dragon responsible for slaying his family! Durnik respected that decision but over two years he had used up all his tolerance for company (he was hermit for reason after all), so he delivered Aren to nearest holding and through talking with his friend he got Aren a good mentor in Valdrin Froljnbulr, a cleric of Kord. Valdrin took Aren in and taught in ways of warrior, be swift to act and be sure and hard in his strikes. Teach into ways of Kord and take reverence from him. However Aren despite his strong strength showed a uncanny mind for tactics, so Valdrin shifted some point focus from warrior into tactics; as besides strong body you need clever mind if Aren ever wishes to slay dragon....and unlikely he does so alone. So Aren became a marshal; a captain, leader by age of 17.<br/><br/>Then he took group of hunters (including calling in his old friend Durnik) to hunt the white dragon which has plagued already years in the local frozen wastes and forcing farmers and fishermen abandon their homes. Aren and his party found dragon's lair and there they lured dragon from lair into a trap laid out by hunters, overall half of the group perished but they survived and so did Durnik who had done killing blow. Aren became a much celebrated dragon-slayer (and so did his crew) and they enjoyed all luxuries of such reputation. Durnik as the one who slew the dragon was the one who chose what to take from carcass and he choose skin it and take dragon's hide as his trophy (significance of this comes only later on).<br/><br/>Then in age of 18 it was 6098 SD and then appeared a mighty warrior called Vatun the Risen God. As King Ralff called on his forces, Aren was with him and he was part of the horde, leading fellow country men in battles in two year campaign of conquest and battle! Until King Ralff called to stop the bloodlust madness when Vatun commanded Ratik to be next target, Ralff exposed Vatun to be Iuz himself but it cost King's life and so his seventeen old son, Hundgred, heritages the crown. Because of his deeds before and during the war, Aren was chosen to be part of king's personal soldiers in his holding. Four years later twenty four years old Aren (and few other closest) soldiers are led in to secret that Hundgred had smuggled mages into his palace and they are teaching his trusted advisors children magic?! Aren was given offer to study magic, but like most his kin he has natural distrust to the art. However he did not decline to study magic to simply know what it is (but not use the art). Not to mention arcane knowledge is useful when you want know weaknesses of some monsters in region.<br/><br/>However, because of his partly open mind to study magic and showing remarkable learning speed for civilized manners, he drew attention of young king's wife, who was eight years senior to the king but was only five years senior to Aren (a much more acceptable age gap). Aren and the queen had a affair and it was (eventually) found out! Hundgred being furious about it is slight understatement and he was ready challenge Aren on the spot in a honor duel in name of Kord! However, his wife succeed talk him (and Aren) out from it and instead just banish Aren; as duel would exposed the affair to public and Aren was too well respected by fellow soldiers to suffer ordinary execution. So Aren accepted his punishment and left from lands of Frost Barbarians for good. He met then in border Durdrin, who had come say his own farewells to him but he also gave him two parting gifts; A fine admantine bastard sword (which Aren later named as 'Slayer') and enchanted breastplate made from the very hide of the dragon which Aren slew! A very valuable gifts and mementos from his homeland. Since then he has traveled widely as a mercenary for hire, protect villages, slaying monsters and so forth. He had formed a small band of fellow mercs who followed his lead.<br/><br/>Along his journeys he met Victoriana, as a damsel in distress in hands of orcs who had raided her wagon and she was desperately defending both her virtue and life from shattered wagon which was on fire and orcs waited her run out of magic and come out to be butchered or captured. Aren swiftly dealt with the orcs with his small band of warriors and rescued her, out of gratitude Victoriana offered more lasting position as her sergeant-in-arms (and also spot in her bed). Aren had been since then been Victoriana's fighter champion."

His father a hunter, and his father's father a herbalist. Many days of his youth were spent out in the woods either helping his grandfather gather plants, or checking the traps set by him and his father. They only ever caught small game like a hare, or the occasional fox. Foxes were the best. They didn't taste that well, but their skins sold for a good price. Which any amount of coin was a tremendous windfall for them. All and all a very modest life, but the fresh meat and herbs they were cooked with had them eating like kings.<br/><br/>Then the war happened. Ted wasn't that old, but he was old enough to fire a crossbow, and that was all that mattered. It wasn't long before he was conscripted. Day in and day out he fought his fellow man, his only reward being a few scraps of bread at the end of the day. After all he was just one of the common men. Not even trained in combat, but that's why they had crossbows. Anyone could use them, and if you should perish on the field, they would just take your weapon and hand it to the next poor sap. However Ted survived. He found the best way to get along in war was to keep the distance between him and the front lines. It didn't take a general to know that the men up front seldom came back. He also started fending for himself when it came to meal time. While on march he would hunt with his crossbow and gather plants as well as fresh clean water. It was much better than the stale bread and murky grim that was provided. He eventually got so well at it he could even spare some for the other men in his squad. Soon him and his fellows were eating better then the knights and nobles, not that they would advertise that to them. However the boosted moral did show itself in battle. It seemed like joyous time had come again for Ted. Only then did the war come to an end.<br/><br/>With the war over he had all this skills that were now useless to his old life. He didn't know what to do. For some time he just did that. He wandered the woods wondering what to do, living off the land. Only thing to his name was his old tent, and trusty crossbow. As night passed he eventually set up a hunting camp next to a road. Here he traded his hunts and sold food to get the supplies he needed. New bolts, pots pans, stuff that did not come from the wild. There was trouble. Bandits mistook him for an easy target, but soon learned else. He was starting to become more at one with nature. Almost like he could hear it speak some times. One day he was tracking an animal. Seems there had been wolfs prowling in his area, and he didn't appreciate the competition. He followed them to a little warren, no doubt looking to eat some tasty rabbit. They eventually flush out their prey; only what came out was a rather cross badger. Ted took advantaged of the wolf's confusion and slayed them all. They had wounded the badger though. He felt something inside him. Something about the badger he liked. He collected the wolves and their skins, and bandaged up the injured mustelidae. It took some time, but he nursed it back to health then trained it like a pet and hunting dog.<br/><br/>After some time living in the woods he eventually traded for a sturdy horse. Ted packed up his camp, and moved on with his life. He started to travel from place to place selling his skills as an outdoors man, tracker, and weapon for hire."

A ruddy faced man with a hearty laugh to match his frame, Hedred wears red mustache and muttonchops and always has a cheerful word for anyone he meets. Rather shrewd behind the scenes, his is a position a commoner is elected to until recalled from office; the lord mayor is then elevated to the gentry and remains so even if he leaves office. He has never faced a recall in the 19 years since elected.<br/><br/>Knarr Burres, Lord Marshall of County Hammen. Knarr was also born a commoner but was knighted 20 some years ago during a skirmish between Nyrondal and Almorian border lords. He later took service as a captain with the old Lord Harkess and replaced the last Lord Marshall 7 years ago. His responsibilities include enforcing the laws of king and duchess and count, muster of the militias and garrisons, and, at the count’s pleasure, serving in his stead in any matter of the county’s defense. (Defense of the county is the count’s responsibility alone.) He is over six feet tall and whip thin, his dark beard and hair cut to a bit more than a burr and shot through with gray, he cuts a severe figure in his preferred dark blue, close fitting garb. A keen light burns in steel eyes unsullied by illusions of any race’s superiority to the savagery in his own.<br/><br/>Gareph Burne, High Warden of the Last Ride. As border marches, the royal responsibility of the Duchy of Woodwych and the Couty of Brackenmoor to its south is patrol of the Nyrond’s western border. This duty passes from the Duchess to Lord Harkess and so the warden officially answers only to the Count. In practice, he reports to Knarr as the count’s chief military officer.  His office commands the troops who patrol the last hundred miles of the Nesser River before it empties into the Nyr Dyv at Hammensend. As the Duchy of Urnst and Nyrond are at peace, the Nyrondal queen is a close cousin of the Duke, most of the border actions involve bandits and smugglers, and in higher rides, humanoids from the Abbor Alz mountains. Ted is one of the wardens under Gareph’s charge and probably considers him a mentor in woodcraft and hunting.<br/><br/>Arynne Koommes, Exchequer. Dressed in fashionable, but not flashy, manner, Arynne manages the county’s coffers. Neither heavy nor thin, short nor tall, Arynne is noted for little more than keeping the books balanced.<br/><br/>Currynt Worthim, Castellan. Manages the household and defensive affairs of the actual castle. While Knarr operates from the castle, his responsibilities are much larger; Quint actually commands the castle’s garrison and defends it from siege. But Quint’s responsibility extends to all matters of running the castle. The maids who maintain the domestic work, the cooks who feed the roughly 250 souls within, summoning masons and carpenters to maintain the structure, keeping the household books as Arynne does the county’s, all fall under his purview.<br/>"

I had a good place to fold in the special when you initially asked about it but I can't say if it can be moved early enough for a faster build.<br/><br/>Quick note on my advancement ruling for everyone: the list of level-up steps isn't restrictively ordered. While some things derive from class training (BAB, skill points, bonus feats, etc), your attribute and feat improvements don't. no matter what class you gain at 12th level, you will always learn a feat and improve an ability. So there are three independent operations on the list: choose a class every level, add a feat every third level, and improve an ability every fourth level. Everything else is a sub-menu determined by class. Options within the main and sub-menu don't need to be done in order, but choosing a class must done before adding options the sub-menu."

Would you mind if I a small ret-con to V's<em>arcane mark</em>? Because, like heraldry, these are supposed to be unique to an individual, and only K has the right to the Harkess arms of a red hawk on a white (or pale skin, in this case) field. As V's now made the last step into adulthood and out of her brother's household (marriage is an explicit statement of founding her own house with Aren and raise the children of their union in the ways of her society), she also declares the differencing of her arms to establish the new Harkess cadet family.<br/><br/>Here's an option: the Harkess hawk is displayed, ie its wings and feet spread in a symmetrical pose with the head facing its right (or forward when the shield is carried in the left hand). You make yours face sinister (to its left and facing forward when a lefty uses his shield in his right hand), you could change the pose to a side view, with one or both either limb showing (there are specific names for each combination) or a sinister side view, etc. Anything, as long as it isn't a head on, symmetrical view showing both wings, both feet and the head facing its right will difference her arms. This way, we keep the basic description of red hawk on white (or pale chest, in your first use of your own ""name"").<br/><br/>Another option might add a wolf related device in honor of Aren and show his elevated status and the house they're making together. Also, by coming into V's house, he would now use her arms if he hadn't earned his own (as V might be expected to do if she was married off to another noble or a royal cadet and thus came into his house).<br/><br/>Whatever you decide it looks like, the heralds name the badge Harkess Victory."

The bad guy we never met in the prelude was able to force his will on the maid because she didn't have the means, physical, social, or to herself credible, to stop him. In the same situation, Aria would have all three; she's actually trained in physical combat, her station gives her retributive options as a deterrent, and she has a firm belief that she has the means to be better off at least trying to break him in half.<br/><br/>It all boils down to power and it's responsible application. If humanity were evenly potentialed, experience levels being the only determinant of greater or lesser power, many of the conflicts we take for granted would cease to exist. Men could not be automatically assumed capable of taking advantage of women. The nobility of the commoner. The strong over the weak. And on and on. These are the conflicts that forge big damn heroes, and why we noted humans are the most common villains when ulthakptah was building Ted. Aria, just by her example as a girl who beats up boys, has shown the maids here there is another way. She has taught Mayaheine's word without speaking it.<br/><br/>On to the specific subject of Aria's place. She doesn't need a man to defend her. She can enter a marriage as an ""equal"" (or as equal as any western ideal of an equal relationship). The laws and customs don't explicitly place women lower socially, they place those who choose the ""feminine path"" (the best way I can describe it in a quick post) lower.<br/><br/>For the nobility, at least one with Nyrond's adaptation of medieval feudalism, the duty of the ruling classes is to fight. The king rules because he (or his first-king ancestor) is the best man to lead the assembled host of the people. He chooses the best among them to be his lieutenants and they become the various nobles and so on. As this derives from a time when a child's only formal teacher is the parents, children follow in their parents' trades. So the son of the best war leader will obviously take on the profession of best-war-leadering just as the son of the smith will take on the profession of smithing. Now, if women are naturally weaker (ignoring our big damn heroines, that's a big reason why they're heroic) then they are less good at fighting. So if a noblewoman has no useful skills for war, she is ""typical of a woman"". If a nobleman doesn't, he is an embarrassment to his family. If his skill is taken by an accident rather than use, that is a tragedy; by malice or his own misconduct, a grave crime. But a noblewoman who does develop useful skills (at arms, at magic, at strategy, etc) is obviously equal to a man; she shoulders a man's burden of her title and can likely answer a man's challenge to her assumption of a man's rights. So it comes back to power and its application.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;"">TL;DR - yep, society is male dominated 'cause it's grounded in the real world's baggage but it's more easily re-shaped around strong personalities. </span>"

But it was the room given to Lady Victoriana as her apartments and one she feels most comfortable. It was here she first met Master Raginoz.<br/><br/>Once the studio her brothers first touched steel, it was a cold and barren place. Master Raginoz chose it for that. ""The most dangerous thing to a castle is an apprentice prince."" Now its stone floor wears intricate patterned rugs, which the footmen are just now uncovering from the lesser rugs protecting them during the audience. Where once stood racks with the implements of war now see shelves of books on every subject of man's knowledge. In the center where once sweat was spilled that blood be not sits a small dais with a simple and elegant chair and a side table filled with various notes and letters and proclamations Victoriana had left moments before. It is now being joined by other tables and chairs at the lady's word.<br/><br/>But what hasn't changed is the sun. This room faces North, towards the town of Hammensend two miles distant. The town and the farmlands between formed a vast tableau behind Lady Victoriana as she sat in state. It is here she gazes from windows scaling half the walls, surveying her people below as they prepare for the week of Growfest to bless the crops they will plant at its end. Touching the warm, stone frame of the window she understands why her brother always loved this room. In this panorama anchored to the corner of the room, the corner of the castle eighty feet above the plain below, it sees both East and West. It welcomes the Sun in the morning and farewells him in the eve.

She was in the lower courtyard, ""in prayer."" The Castle itself was built upon a lone but uneven hill with chambers built into its side and down from above. The upper court and the keep surrounding are atop the high summit, flatted to accommodate the construction. The lower courtyard is below on another summit. Here the stables burrow into the side of the hill and before them is the garrison's drilling yard. And here is the Octagon, a ten foot patch as place as sacred to the garrison as the blood they spilled under the master's instruction could make it. Here was where the best among them learned to fight alone, to stand in front of their massed brother and lead them by example or meet the challenge of single combat.<br/><br/>And today it was Mayaheine's chapel, as Aria, too, felt the call to prayer.<br/><br/>-----------------------------<br/><br/>Ted rode through the outer gate late in the day. Straight ahead was the gatehouse to the upper courtyard but he turn left and descended towards. The nightwatch were at ""vespers,"" before they had there breakfasts and stood the watch until midnight. It had been a long ride, four days patrolling south along the Nesser when he happened on the smugglers' track. Another 8 days of harrying them followed before he finally able to drive them into the patrol out of Copperstad. Not that he couldn't push them, he just knew the time had to be right or the scheduled patrol wouldn't be in the right place. Then another two days ride back to the castle. He knew as he dismounted that his steed was as bone weary as he, but he also knew to never put a horse away wet. As he walked his mount around the courtyard, he noticed her again. The lady's cousin from the east. Melody or Harmony or something like that. He stopped for a moment as she threw her sparring partner, the follow through with her waster making a full stop a hair's breadth from his nose.

He slung off his pack too and sat against the wall. He watched the lady train some more while resting. A small black nose poked out of the bag, and out crawled Brock.

Only missing are the lord mayor and exchequer; their offices and homes are in Hammensend and can’t be expected for another 30 minutes.<br/><br/>To the assembled worthies are Aria and Ted, still fresh from prayers and the road, and the lady’s Sergeant-at-Arms by her side.<br/><br/>The room is set for council, Victoriana’s place still set at the head of two long tables facing each other.

A ruddy faced man with a hearty laugh to match his frame, Hedred wears red mustache and muttonchops and always has a cheerful word for anyone he meets. Rather shrewd behind the scenes, his is a position a commoner is elected to until recalled from office; the lord mayor is then elevated to the gentry and remains so even if he leaves office. He has never faced a recall in the 19 years since elected.<br/><br/>Knarr Burres, Lord Marshall of County Hammen. Knarr was also born a commoner but was knighted 20 some years ago during a skirmish between Nyrondal and Almorian border lords. He later took service as a captain with the old Lord Harkess and replaced the last Lord Marshall 7 years ago. His responsibilities include enforcing the laws of king and duchess and count, muster of the militias and garrisons, and, at the count’s pleasure, serving in his stead in any matter of the county’s defense. (Defense of the county is the count’s responsibility alone.) He is over six feet tall and whip thin, his dark beard and hair cut to a bit more than a burr and shot through with gray, he cuts a severe figure in his preferred dark blue, close fitting garb. A keen light burns in steel eyes unsullied by illusions of any race’s superiority to the savagery in his own.<br/><br/>Gareph Burne, High Warden of the Last Ride. As border marches, the royal responsibility of the Duchy of Woodwych and the Couty of Brackenmoor to its south is patrol of the Nyrond’s western border. This duty passes from the Duchess to Lord Harkess and so the warden officially answers only to the Count. In practice, he reports to Knarr as the count’s chief military officer.  His office commands the troops who patrol the last hundred miles of the Nesser River before it empties into the Nyr Dyv at Hammensend. As the Duchy of Urnst and Nyrond are at peace, the Nyrondal queen is a close cousin of the Duke, most of the border actions involve bandits and smugglers, and in higher rides, humanoids from the Abbor Alz mountains. Ted is one of the wardens under Gareph’s charge and probably considers him a mentor in woodcraft and hunting.<br/><br/>Arynne Koommes, Exchequer. Dressed in fashionable, but not flashy, manner, Arynne manages the county’s coffers. Neither heavy nor thin, short nor tall, Arynne is noted for little more than keeping the books balanced.<br/><br/>Currynt Worthim, Castellan. Manages the household and defensive affairs of the actual castle. While Knarr operates from the castle, his responsibilities are much larger; Quint actually commands the castle’s garrison and defends it from siege. But Quint’s responsibility extends to all matters of running the castle. The maids who maintain the domestic work, the cooks who feed the roughly 250 souls within, summoning masons and carpenters to maintain the structure, keeping the household books as Arynne does the county’s, all fall under his purview.</div></div>"

He was no expert in the dealings of nobles, and had no intention of making a fool of himself. Even when he and his exploits were mentioned he just nodded slightly, but for the most part he just sat there petting his animal friend. He payed little attention to the talk of celebrations and feasts, just tried to act like he was being attentive. Once everyone started to leave he waited till he could leave without seeming eager and went out as well. All there was for him to do that night was bring Buttercup into the stable and head off to bed Himself.<br/><br/>He did not sleep well. He always felt a little smothered in the barracks. He never liked the whole sleeping near many armed men. Even during the war he set his tent up on the outskirts of camp. Brock wasn't a fan of the barracks either, but it was more about being a wild animal and stuck inside a building for the night. Ted awoke to the noise of the men getting ready, and Brock being fussy on his bed.<strong>""Ay, I agree. Would be a splendid time fer a walk.""</strong>Brock was making aggressive sounds towards the door, being very vocal about how he did not like the noise of the barracks.<br/><br/>Ted headed to the stables. There was no reason Buttercup couldn't join them for the walk. He grabbed an apple on his way there from the kitchens. Cutting the apple into slices he gave about a fourth to Brock, and the rest he set down for buttercup to eat while he saddled on her gear. Once they were all ready he walked her out and headed to the nearest tree line. Ted had just recently found out he could use a very little amount of nature magic. He could only manage a single spell at a time, but it could come in handy. While taking his little nature walk with his animal friends he prepared himself to do it. Once he had finished he would walk back to the grounds."

They take small notice of the differences between the saddles, Ted’s wide and padded for long days astride while Aren’s is a small affair, stirrups rigged to provide stable footing and generate striking power from the hips more than to support the legs as they rest idly for hours. After Ted leads his steed for a lap around the lower courtyard, they reach the gate at the same time, as does an unnoticed tabby contemplating the best way for her to cover the nearly four miles to the town and through it to the docks.<br/>---------------------------------------<br/>When Aria completes her lauds, Marie helps her out of her vestments and hangs them away. She takes her place behind Aria as she sits at her dressing table in naught but her shift. Maria takes up the brush and untangles Aria’s thick, blond hair before braiding it up to keep it out of her face and stop her coif from catching and pulling it out. Her hair set, Marie removes her lady’s shift and gently, deliberately washes her lady from the basin of warm water and chamois at the edge of the dressing table. Drying her, Marie steals a look up into Aria’s eyes before as she applies a light perfume to cover the day’s sweat sure to come.<br/><br/>As she stands, Marie begins the dressing with knee length blue silk trousers and white silk stockings followed by a light girdle and padded leggings reaching almost to her womanhood. Marie feels Aria’s knees as she checks that the squares of mail protecting their rear where plates can’t are properly positioned. She holds the riding boots as Aria steps into them and binds the laces tight against ankles narrow and strong. Marie’s gaze lingers a bit at the belly lacking much of a woman’s smoothness as she belts on the heavier girdle and hangs Aria’s leg harness. She covers the harness with a skirt of pure white.<br/><br/>Her first stage of armoring complete, Marie lays a sash of blue silk across the nape of Aria’s neck and firm shoulders, down her chest  and binds Aria’s breasts in place, her hands often checking to ensure Aria won’t be distracted should the tender flesh shift and be bitten by armor. Over this, Marie holds the gambeson as her lady shrugs the silken lining over the taut muscles of her shoulders. Marie returns to her lady’s front and begins to lace the garment, again setting Aria’s bosom into the pleats of the blue coat. Next, Marie adds the flatly curving cuirass, a small frown on her face. The arm harness and and pauldrons and taces follow and then Marie is laying the coif across Aria’s armored shoulders and buckling her sword belt across armored hips, setting the misericorde and empty scabbard to their proper draw.<br/><br/>Finally, Marie kneels in front of her lady, offering her sword wrapped in a silken sheet. As Aria takes the blade from the maid kneeling before her, she notices the small pommel of a dagger resting in the maid’s bosom. Seeing her lady’s gaze, Marie bows her head and says with the merest hint of bite, “You have shown us we are not without our courage simply because they think we lack something between our legs.” She quickly adds in a deferent tone, “I’m sorry; I speak out of turn, m’lady.”<br/><br/>Aria’s helm and gauntlets await her on a pillow on a small table near the chamber door.<br/>-----------------------------------------<br/>The maid draws her hand away and replies to her dismissal, “If it please m’lady, I will return at a turn of your glass [OOC: about 20 minutes] for you toilet and dressing.”<br/><br/>The maid draws back all of the curtains on Victoriana’s bed. On her way out, she turns the hourglass on the desk. Dora later sets out her spellbook next to it as she studies.<br/><br/>The maid returns after Dora has slipped out and keeps the curtains on the windows drawn. She hums s she peruses Victoriana’s gowns and finally chooses one of a very fine, unbleached, woolen samite, its barely off-white hue sure to complement her lady’s complexion winningly.<br/><br/>Much like Marie in the other room, the maid bathes her lady in a brass tub and dries her and dresses her hair. She dresses and undresses her lady in the gown several times, each time with some small adjustments with the needle and thread in the dressing table. Victoriana notices the square neckline shows off quite a bit of her chest; the maid sees this and notes with a sly, conspiratorial face, “We must make you more stunning than usual, m’lady, something special for your hero.” Victoriana isn't sure, but she thinks the maid means Aren rather than her brother. Her “balcony” is powdered and adorned with an elaborate double strand of gold, red hawk pendants of varying sizes evenly separating the gold with the largest in the center. Finally, the maid lays a sash of red silk from her shoulder like a baldric, her wand secured at the nadir.<br/>"

Lady Victoriana stands before the entrance of the main hall, half a dozen maids in their white gowns and hawk pins behind her. She is flanked by her cousin, Lady Aria, and by the council of Marshall Knarr, impeccable in a black tunic over his mail, his blazon of a green hawk wreathed in white flame displayed upon it, Gareph in a simple green coat and a badge not unlike the maids and his new second, Ted, and the castellan, Currynt in the white and red livery of the garrison.<br/><br/>As Sir Kerith and Aren enter the main gates, all the pennants on the castle are cracked at once, the gleaming white field and red hawk proudly announcing their entrance. The horses’ hooves and the wheels of the carriage clack upon the cobblestones. Two horsemen come through the upper gate followed by a Kerith on his black destrier and Aren on the roan he took from the stables.

She, for her part, is elegant as always, even having traded her flowing skirts pleasingly tight breeches and a coat split for riding. The green shades of her costume even seem chosen specifically to match the grey coat of her palfrey. Kerith has also covered his white surcoat with a drab hunting coat and rides his black destrier at the head of the party with Ted. It’s been several hours since you’ve seen any sign of civilization but Ted never fails to find the landmark or deertrack he says they would cross in twenty minutes, twenty minutes ago.<br/><br/>Nor does his familiarity stop soon as he calls a stop and points out something to Kerith as the lord’s hand moves to his sword. The men notice their lord and come to the alert.

An indeterminate number of lightly laden men crossed stealthily from your right to left. The tracks are not an hour cold and there are no settlements for fifteen miles in any direction. Smugglers! Or bandits on the hunt, more likely, due to being lightly laden. Moving closer, you take a couple of minutes to search the track, Brock sniffing around with you and providing some additional cues, you find it was made by a party of 14, 13 men and a half-orc, and they were chasing an elf and a woman, also lightly laden.

The bandit under the big X still has a hand on the spear in the elf. The elf himself is almost laying down, but the spear forms sort of a tripod with legs. The elf's sword lays broken near his hand and his bow a dozen feet away, their handiwork gracing this and other bandits. His fine armor of silvery links is likewise rent and ruined by the spear. He wears a long, green coat over this, likewise pierced, and its hue matches the forest.<br/><br/>The other bandit, his woolen pants are covered in blood. So much blood that it has yep to begin congealing. Examining him a bit closer, you see a cut, likely from a dagger, in the crotch near his codpiece. It must have pierced the artery; he likely bled out with a single heartbeat. Aria immediately recognizes the Maiden’s Strike. It is nearly impossible to perform from anywhere but on your back or knees. Her catechism teaches ""the maiden shall wait until he has exposed his member for his vile purpose, that without its protection she may know the truth of the strike and seek her doom by her own hand"". The bandit took the blade through heavy woolen pants, the pierce along at the edge of his studded leather codpiece still fastened and untouched by blade.<br/><br/>Ted learns finds the woman's track under the bandit with the spear (the big X). Or he finds its end. She was clearly here to deliver this blow, but as far as Ted can tell, she never left this spot. The track of knee still rests here along with her other foot as she pushed down with her leg to drive her attack home. Where she fell following it is here, too. But there is no track of her rising. Nor is there any track remaining that would be here should she have been picked up. It is as if she vanished into thing air.<br/><br/>The bandits are also moderately to heavily tattooed. Aria and Victoriana recognize the tattoos mark the bandits as adherents of Iuz, the evil demigod who rules the dread empire on the northern shores of the Nyr Dyv that bears his name. Drusilia sees them too and lets issue a multi-noted hiss.<br/><br/>It is clearly a curse, it is clearly a language (and not that she speaks to her men and gracefully weaves into Common), and it is clearly nothing you want to hear again. Her lips curl back and her eyes flare hotter than her hair as she does so and you see her teeth clearly for the first time; the two fangs below and four above. You hear a sword drop behind you and see one of her men backing away empty handed, the other’s pants growing wet as he tries to ward her off with trembling chopper. “Starac!“ she spits as she tears off part of a bandit's cheek covered in the distasteful tattoos and a tangle of ritual scars. She throws it to Kerith as her mein returns to normal.<br/><br/>She sees her men and calls to them calmly in their native tongue. (Victoriana now recognizes a few words; mother, sister, Horrors, flame, children.) She rises from the body and slowly walks toward them as they slowly relax, the closer man dropping his sword and dropping to his knees. He clings to her legs like a man drowning to a log. The other cautiously moves back. She kneels in front of the first, still talking, and kisses him on his forehead. The other joins them and drops to his knees and she takes him in, too.<br/><br/>Dora (following Victoriana's direction) sees the magic the Markiza weaves with her words, the enchantments in her voice washing over her men. She holds them and whispers and weeps with them for long minutes as they sob and slowly compose themselves. As they rise, she wipes their faces and shoulders with her gloved hands, the only evidence remaining their reddened eyes and faces. She says some last thing to them and they take up their swords and move to where you entered the clearing and take watch. They pass a flask as they walk away. She lets out a breath, brushes herself off and claps her hands together. Billows of dust seem to fall from her, the tears disappear from her shoulders and bosom, the bandit's blood from her gloves.<br/><br/>Kerith is standing next to Aren and Victoriana, arms crossed over his chest as he watches his Drusilia tend to her men. To their souls? His face twists into the same mask of rage he wore a day ago. ""Ted said their were 14 and I count nine here. Take your court and carry out your command, Little Vee. Find them,"" he growls. He throws down the scrap of tortured flesh as he stalks off towards his lady.<br/><br/>Drusilia turns toward her approaching husband, straightens her coat and dons her winning smile as her<em>prestidigitation</em>does its job. But she you can tell she is just better at hiding her exhaustion than her men. She almost falls into his arms as helps her walk from the clearing with the horsemen.<br/><br/>Ted has found the track of the remaining bandits.

Many of our young men studied and worshipped in the temple on the mountain.  We made our homes in peace – but peace is no more.<br/>It was three weeks ago when the stranger, Rahib he called himself, came the first time.  He was handsome man with broad shoulders.  His deep-set eyes held a piercing glint that looked uncomfortably into one’s soul.  His voice was soft and persuasive, and anyone hearing it was almost certainly lulled into agreement.  It was the consent of my father that the Rahib sought – and only to one end.  My father refused him.<br/>The next day, he came to me and dropped to one knee saying, “Danaphia, your beauty is fabled throughout this land; almost as much as your father’s wealth.  To possess you I have traveled far, but our father is unkind.  He refused me, though I brought many riches as payment for you.  Surely you will not refuse to go with me.”  He grabbed my arm with an unbearable grip – I cried out.<br/>My father heard me, and, in a rage, bound from the house toward the stranger.  With one great rush, father drove him to the gates and cast him forth.<br/>On his knees like a common beggar, the stranger clung to the wall and interred such a curse that the sky darkened and all the servants covered their heads in fear.  In a rich, deep voice, he intoned and evil chant we could not understand.<br/>He then vanished into the forest.  Under my father’s hand, peace soon returned to my household.  The curious visitor and his curse were forgotten – until one week ago.<br/>One day, the young men who study at the temple and their teachers did not return to their homes.  Their families became worried and went to the temple, but were driven away b the students, known as templars.  My father, who sometimes taught at the temple, went there to discover what had happened.  He has not returned.<br/>My father’s wealth is also lost.  I believe that his fortune was hidden in the lower recesses of the temple.  It is hard to believe the treasure has been stolen, for it includes many distinctive pieces that anyone, near or far, would recognize.  There was a beautiful translucent marble jar inlaid with gold trim and six jewels.  There were also two birds with gold that would sing a tune.  They were to be my dowry, without which I cannot be wed.  There is also an ancient ring set with black jade that matches the pendant that hung around my father’s neck.  He told me that anyone who possesses both could wield great power for good.<br/>Hathir, my betrothed, knowing that his family would not allow his marriage to me, now a maid without a dowry, and fearing for my father, also went to the temple.  He, too, has not returned.<br/>Two days ago, the village council received a message.  It was from the Rahib.  He boasted that all the devoted templars and students of the temple are under a spell that will not be broken until the village gives the Rahib three maidens, including myself.  The council refused.  That night, the templars attacked and kidnapped two other maidens, Sylva and Merisa, but I escaped.<br/>All of the villagers are in misery for many of their sons are templars. Some people have begged me to give myself over to the wicked Boneheart, but I dare not, lest I find that he has lied, and will not break his curse on the templars.  I fear that unless we are helped, I shall never again see my beloved Hathis or my father and my friends Sylva and Merisa.  <br/>Someone must rescue them and the Rahib must be forced to remove his curse upon the templars.  Without help, I will have no choice but to give myself to the Rahib and hope and pray that he keeps his word and releases the others.  You were once my beloved friend and brother.  Help me Nassar Reltek, you are my only hope.<br/><br/>Danaphia            <br/></em></div></div>While actually handling the letter, Aren notices something not quite right with the ink. In random places it seems...off. Dora finds no trace of magic on it, but when she does her, 'I'm a cat, look at meeeeeee!' routine to cover her request to cover her communique to Victoriana to get her where she can look at it, it's glaringly obvious; humans really are blind.<br/><br/>Dora clearly sees that the words are written upon a map scribed in ink the humans can't see. (Experimenting later will reveal that the map ink is visible in a part o the spectrum visible to low-light vision.) It shows the way the bandits were traveling, indicating there is an elf settlement in the eastern Abbor Alz range, perhaps 3 days march once you continue farther upriver and cross into Urnst.<br/><br/>One of the ""bandits"" carries a letter himself, this one written in Baklunish. As the language's ancient form is still the unchanged written form of the modern language, Victoriana and Dora can read it easily. In short, it directs these ""bandits"" to intercept any the elf wench has called upon to help and rejoin him at the Temple of the Testing. The are disciples of a the one who signed it, ""Ascension shall be siezed."" The rest of the language in the letter confirms the valediction is a reference to Iuz's own divine ascension. You heard these agents conversingbefore your attack, specifically of ""the Rahib"" and whether they should return without the woman and then of how stupid it would be to even mention her. Rahib is a Baklunish word for monk though none of these actually spoke that language."

Soon, the local government in charge of the area asked for American assistance in order to rebuild the city and protect it against the ever present threat of Sovereign, the metahuman dictator who ruled most of Africa.<br/><br/>A team of gadgeteers and other metahumans with appropriate powers constructed a new city standing on massive pillars that reached down into the earth. They filled the crater itself with water, making the city look like it swam on water. This city, named New Sorea and opened for free immigration in 2010, soon became the place of an incredible economic boom as the deposits beneath the city attracted various corporations, talented individuals and fortune seekers from all corners of the world, creating a truly mutlicultural city.<br/><br/>Now, New Sorea stands as a shining example of human perseverance, the constructive capabilities of metahumans and a new economic miracle, as the success of New Sorea also revitalized the surrounding country.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, this success also attracted many unsavory characters, chief among whom is a new branch of the Black Panther supervillain group, the white supremacist Foresters and, most recently, the mysterious organization only known as 'Shades'. Now, after two years of largely unsuccessful attempts to fight corruption and crime, the local government has requested help from the United Heroes, who have dispatched Severance, a seasoned hero, to organize the local heroic metahuman population into a fighting force.<br/><br/>Due to the lack of metahuman muscle, Severance has decided to throw both teenage and adult superheroes into one group until such a time as their ranks grow enough to create a Junior division.<br/><br/>You are these first heroes recruited by Severance. Whether you were born around New Sorea or have just moved there, you have, for whatever reason, decided to be a hero and joined the fight against the numerically superior supervillains and criminals. Your adventure starts on August 1st of the year 2012, in the middle of spring.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Rules</span></strong><br/><br/>This RP uses the Mutants & Masterminds 3E rules. You only need the Hero's Handbook to play, though I would also recommend the Power Profiles, as they both give good suggestions as well as clarify some questions left open or unclear by the core rules.<br/><br/>As this is a rather dark setting, everything goes, though I'll ask you to remember that here at least, you are supposed to be the heroes - which doesn't mean that you have to be perfect.<br/><br/>The ratio of story, combat and sexual content is<em>supposed</em>to be about 6:3:1. However, we all know the difference between theory and practice...<br/><br/>Please pay attention to proper spelling and grammar. You won't be kicked out just for making the occasional mistake, but repeated atrocious writing may lead to you having to rewrite your posts before they will be accepted.<br/><br/>Proper etiquette is mandatory! Be nice and you'll be treated nicely as well!<br/><br/><strong>Character Creation</strong><br/><br/>Please send a short description of your character concept to me via elliquy messaging. We will discuss it, then you can fill out one of the electronic character sheets you can find for free online and send it to me via e-mail. We will send them around until your character is ready and satisfies both you and the needs of the story.<br/><br/>Starting Power Level is 10 and you get 150 Power Points.<br/><br/><strong>Further Information</strong><br/><br/>This RP is based on my web novel ""Brennus"", which you can find in my wordpress-blog (link in my signature). You should at least read the ""Introduction to Metahuman Studies"" chapter, specifically parts 2 & 3, as they discuss the most crucial rules of how metahuman powers are classified in my setting and how powers are aquired. To fully enjoy this RP, you'll need to start from the beginning and follow the story as it progresses, as many elements of the main series will be touched upon in this RP.

He likes to read and is in an archery club.<br/>His trigger event was caused when his grandfather was stung by a poisonous animal while working in the garden and collapsed, he had just visited him an hour ago so when he realized what the ruckus down the street where his grandfather lived was, it was an extreme shock he ran to his grandfather, some adult said that there was likely not enough time, his power activated he tried to slow down the poison, to accelerate the parts that dealt with it speed up the heart to keep the blood flowing etc the result was ...(not sure should his grandfather survive or die), the other people ascribed his disorientation due o the shock<br/>instead the aftermath of his ability.<br/><em><br/>Relatives with power:</em>His Mother is the first member of his family with powers having a faible for wandering and camping she had booked a guided wandering tour trough wilderness, but because of work she had to join up with the group a day later, so she meet with one of the guides who was shopping last supplies.<br/>A rock fall surprised them on the way killing the guide and separating her from any supplies, she got lost in the woods and after days when the hunger became unbearable her power triggered: She is able to fuel her bodies energy requirements with external energy, light, heat, electricity(she can not absorb more than she needs or she would suffer something equivalent to a sugar shock) also she can digest and metabolize any organic matter(cellulose, plastic,organic poisons),<br/>as a side effect with an external energy source(battery, strong sunlight) she will also not get exhausted.<br/>However his mother never became a superhero, partially it was just not in her lifeplans partially because her abilities are to weak compared to what others have.<br/>The second member of the family with powers is the oldest brother Leopold(Leo)(not figured out his trigger event yet), he has the ability to absorb matter and  redirect energies and forces affecting him to the absorbed matter.<br/>By absorbing matter he gains size and mass and becomes an alloy of flesh and whatever he absorbed, the redirection of energy and force makes him even tougher and allows him to absorb energized matter like molten Iron without harming himself, additional as long as he is not already  loaded to full capacity he can adjust the distribution of matter within him given him limited shapeshifting and the ability to shoot matter from his skin.<br/>His hero name is ""Integrator"" originally ""the great Integrator"", but people thought that a lame pun so he stopped using the adjective.<br/>He is a good brother and a charismatic person but a little bit overbearing and overenthusiastic.<br/><em><br/>Hiding his ability and his reason for going to the city:</em><br/>At first in all the panic about his grandfather almost dying(he survived long enough that an antidote could be injected, thx to timothy though people  did not realize this was what happened) people did not pay much attention to him sure they thought he was in shock cause of his grandfathers almost dead and tried to console him but none was observant enough not to jump to conclusions.<br/>When Timothy had finally shaken himself from the confusion and shock of his experience he decided to keep quiet about it, he was frightened of the experience he had with his power, frightened how easily one could lose oneself in the perception of causality and he did not want to admit that to his oldest brother who had started to become a superhero and was full of enthusiasm for his powers and being a hero, his brother had roped him into things before it was hard to contradict him and hard to explain negate feelings toward something he liked to him.<br/>So he kept this quiet and with time he became curious experimented with his power found that he did not need to go all out and became more comfortable in using it, finally he at-least confided in his sister but let her swear to keep this to herself.<br/>With time seeing his brother help people he began to feel guilty, he could, he should also do something good with the powers given to him, but he did not want to be his brothers sidekick, he did not want to be in his brother shadow bearing the expectations to be extraordinary , he just wanted to do his part.<br/>So when he saw New Soreas need of heroes he moved there under the pretense of studying abroad to gain experience and ""to gain a living place before the heroes had cleaned the city and prices for living exploded"" but in reality wanting to start as a superhero away from his brothers name and attention."

Morrison<br/><br/>Power: The ability to transform into a bipedal creature made of some sort of fungus or mold or moss (frankly Mike isn't sure which and doesn't really care as long as it is not mushrooms.)  Once in this form he can regenerate and grow up to roughly double his height.  While this comes with some increased strength and durability, Mike finds it more useful to rip chunks of himself off and throw them like grenades.  On impact these give a burst of dust (which Mike insists are NOT spores, because he doesn't want to consider the implications of that.)  This burst can either heal or cause an allergic reaction.  If Mike concentrates, which can be tiring, he can force the dust to ignore some individuals that would otherwise be effected.  Another side effect of his altered form is that he can easily, although slowly, cling to and climb just about any surface.<br/><br/>Motivations: Having read too many comic books as a youth, Mike is convinced he has a responsibility to 'use his power for good.'  Aside from that he is bothered by seeing people injured and always goes out of his way to help them.<br/><br/>Features: Standard: height 6 foot 1 inch (1.85 m), 200 pounds (90.7 kg).  Green eyes, light brown hair.  Clean shaven.  23 years old<br/><br/>Alternate Form:  baseline height 6 foot (1.83 m), slightly hunched over, same weight.  A grey/green/brown mottled bipedal creature resembling 'swamp-thing' or a 'shambling mound'.  It has a slight odor of decay.<br/><br/>Costume:  A dark-green singlet (like wrestlers wear) with no head or feet coverings (as these are not needed in his alternate form).  The color almost blends with the natural coloring of his alternate form.<br/><br/>Background: Mike was raised in a small town Wyoming, the oldest of two children.  His parents, Doug and Lucille, are enormous fans of Sherlock Holmes, and they named him after Sherlock's brother.  He hates his name, and would go by his middle name, but he considers that even worse.  His sister, Irene, dislikes her name as well.  He is an avid gamer and a bit of a geek.  After high-school he obtained a degree in mining engineering.<br/><br/>Trigger event:  When Mike was about 13, and old enough to know better, he managed to fall into an old well.  Luckily he was with the family dog.  Unfortunately it wasn't Hollywood, and the dog wasn't a strangely intelligent Border Collie who would go get help.  No, he was stuck with a Chihuahua, which just yipped at him.  He might have tried to climb out, but he dislocated his shoulder and broke his leg in the fall.  By the first evening, his dog was chased away, and probably eaten, by coyotes.  After two days he was somewhat delirious and became convinced that some of the mold around him was starting to grow on him as well.  At some point in the ensuing panic he shifted forms.  He watched in horrid fascination as his transformed leg straightened itself out and healed.  After he calmed down (to the extent that he could), he figured that since mold could grow well on vertical surfaces, he would try to climb out.  Thankfully he was right, and managed to easily climb out, even when he couldn't find good hand or footholds.  His climb attracted unwanted attention though and he attracted a couple of buzzards.  Acting on some instinct he didn't really understand, he tore a piece of himself off and threw it at the birds.  In his amusement at watching buzzards having a sneezing fit, he transformed back and made his way home.<br/><br/>Complications:   Mike has developed a hatred for Chihuahua's.  ""Useless things"".  He also has a mild case of claustrophobia left from his time trapped in the well.  He is aware that this makes his chosen occupation difficult, and tries to avoid having to actually go into a mine if he can help it.  Since he dislikes his name, he is disturbed that his alternate form might be fungal (mycology being the study of fungi, and sounding a bit like mycroft.  He tends to forget that molds are a branch of fungi.)  What especially disturbs him about the possibility of being fungal is that his ranged powers might be based on spores, which would mean he is essentially masturbating whenever he uses them.  He actively avoids thinking about this.<br/><br/>Relatives with power: None that he is aware of at this time.<br/><br/>Reason for going to New Sorea:  Mike is convinced that he needs to make a positive use of his powers, but he hasn't had many opportunities so far.  When the call went out for heroes to move to New Sorea, Mike felt that it would be a perfect fit and opportunity to make use of his skills.  In addition to heroing, he has a degree that should be useful for maintaing a cover identity, given the mining and petroleum boom in New Sorea.<br/>"

Non-descript men in suits arrived with two limousines. Without seeing each other, the two of them were taken to the UH headquarters along different routes - for security purposes, as the villains of the city might have found out about their arrival and decided to take them out before they can even get going.<br/><br/>Fortunately, none of this happened and the two new heroes arrived at the UH HQ after getting to see quite a bit of New Sorea - which seemed to be quite lively, despite the reports of intense violence all across the city.<br/><br/>At the HQ, they were greated by a stocky woman, plain and unattractive and dressed functionally in a rather light suit. She introduced herself as Mrs. Killian, head of Mission Control and guided them up the tall, fortress-like building with twelve stories. A completely silent elevator, in which one can barely feel the movement, brought them up to what seems to be a kind of living room - though the largest they've ever seen, larger than the average basketball court. The ceiling is high enough for three stories and there is a gigantic glass front opposite of where the elevator brought them. There is a half-circle of couches in front of an enormous screen to the left and a kitchen on the opposite end, both equipped with the best money can buy.<br/><br/>Mrs. Killian explained that this would be their meeting room for whenever they were off-duty and that they would be shown their living quarters later on - first, they would be introduced to their team-mate and to Severance. Then she left, leaving them alone.<br/><br/>Now, a few minutes later, a door next to the kitchen opens and a young woman, barely more than a girl, enters. She is tall, slender and womanly at the same time and obviously very fit, moving with a careless, unconscious grace. Her black hair is long and slightly curly, reaching to her shoulders, her green eyes large and bright. Yet, unlike most metahumans (and one has to assume that she is a metahuman, considering the circumstances), her beauty does not reach inhuman or cartoonish levels. She is simply as good-looking as a normal human can be and, while still a head-turner, could walk down a street in something revealing and not be immediately pegged as a metahuman. Currently, she's wearing a skin-tight, padded bodysuit in black with golden lines at its edges and several belts, two crossing over her torso and two around her hips, carrying a gun and countless throwing knifes. She is currently not wearing a mask.<br/><br/>The young woman approaches the two newcomers with a smile and comes to a hold a few feet in front of them, her hands on her hips. ""You must be 'Moldpatch' and 'D-Synchro', I take it? Nice to meet you. I'm Apex, Hennessy when out of costume and I'll be your point man."" She offers both of you her hand for shaking."

An older man stands there, dressed in a white super-suit covered in irregular black lines, evoking the impression of something breaking. It clings to an impressively muscled, classicaly heroic body, which is in stark contrast to the face atop it - an older, though still not unattractive man with countless wrinkles around his eyes, full white hair and a short beard of the same colour. His eyes are similiarly white, though unnaturally so.

You may know me as Severance"", he introduces himself. They all remember what little they know of Severance. He was one of the first ones, the second sidekick in history and a member of Lady Light's very first team of superheroes, the Shining Guardians. However, unlike the household names of Lady Light, her sidekick Radiance, the Jolly John (his uncle and the one whose sidekick he was), Fragrance, Pointshot and Animalo, he faded into obscurity, continuing to survive and serve even as his comrades died or retired. He has no nemesis that you know of, no grudges, no rivals. Even though he does not hide his face and has been active for more than eighty years, he has a barely existent fanclub, his true identity is unknown and most people just mention him as an extra to the team. Not even his power is really well-known, the only thing everyone can agree on is that he can, at the very least, cut through armored vehicles. ""But from now on, I'm also your boss - I will lead this team, coordinate and support, though I would prefer to leave most of the actual action to you - you need the experience and I've already done more fighting than anyone needs.""<br/><br/>He stops for a moment, then continues: ""Now, we have to cut this introduction short. There is trouble in the city, so I'll just quickly sum up the most important points.

Normally, Apex would act as a guerillia, striking from oblique angles and generally harassing the enemy, disrupting them. But, for the time being, she'll be your point man, as her power renders her untouchable to any attacks she can see coming - she won't be hit. This means that she can not take any hits for any of you, so<em>stay mobile</em>. Only Moldpatch can take any punishment beyond the norm, so be careful and don't hesitate to retreat if things turn South.""<br/><br/>Again, a pause, to let you digest the information. ""Now, I want you to introduce yourselves to each other, powers, skills and preferred strategies. Then, I'll explain to you what you'll be facing. Since this is your first mission, I will accompany you.""<br/><br/>He looks at Apex, who turns to the other two. ""Well, you already know my name. My power basically acts as my personal Laplace Demon - I know how to do anything I decide to do perfectly. This means that, so long as I can see something coming, and so long as there is a possible solution<em>for me</em>to deal with it, I know how to do it and I can<em>generally</em>follow up on it, though there is always an element of uncertainty there. But I'm no more resilient than a normal human, barring a slow, but persistent regeneration and surprise or wide-area attacks can hit me just as much as anyone else. I can fight with anything I pick up as if I'd mastered it over decades of training and I'm especially good at throwing stuff - I can disable almost anything that is not invulnerable to them with my throwing blades. I prefer middle-to-long-range combat, though I'll be acting as point man and tank as long as we do not get anyone to pick up that role.

The local chapter of the Bang Boys-"" Hennessy makes a disgusted sound - ""and the Calutes. The first have two metahuman members, the others four. The Bang Boys are a large super gang with chapters all across Africa and America - they base their hierarchy on rape. Whoever rapes the most people is boss. For the higher ranks, their members need to abuse metahumans, and superheroes are worth even more. Which means that they'll try to seperate Apex from the rest of you and kidnapp her. It also means that they'll try to incapacitate, not kill. Their local metahuman members are Quick Mob, a self-duplicator who provides the mass of their combatants - he can create up to twelve duplicates at a time and keep making new ones to replace those taken down. Then we get the most dangerous guy you're going to fight today. Wimbo is what many call a 'Siren'. His powers focus on his voice and depend on people hearing him. He can attack enemies' nervous system, exert mind control on anyone who hears him sing for more than a few minutes or shut down an enemy's mind with a shorter song. He is also capable of bending sound to become untraceable by sound and shatter any glass within hearing distance. Control 4, Damage 3. They also have about thirteen baseline minions, mostly teenagers.""<br/><br/>""Now, the Calutes were originally the leaders of an entire territory, a sorry little hellhole called St. Augustusburg. Then Aheri got bored and invaded their territory, killing most of them. Three of their lower-tier members came here and started up a new chapter. Red Devil - one of many with that name - has a Physique 6 rating and fights with a pitchfork. Really strong in close combat, don't let him hit you. Jellow is a Morpher who can turn into a slime-like form that makes her pretty much impervious to physical attacks - but our reports tell us that she is quite vulnerable to poisons and the like, so Moldpatch' ranged attack should be able to take her out quickly. Her concrete rating is Morphing 3. Then we get Bendpole, a ranged attacker whose shots can curve and track you - once. But he packs<em>quite</em>the punch, so try not to get caught. He can alternate between a lethal shot and one that will almost assuredly knock any of you other than Moldpatch out with one hit. Damage 4, nothing else. The final metahuman is Null-Plus, Manipulation 5. He can either nullify the powers of a single person or enhance them, making him critical to his groups fighting style. We also expect them to have about twenty minions.""<br/><br/>He pauses again, then continues: ""They are gathering in an old junkyard outside the city limits. We will arrive in six minutes. Any ideas or questions?"""

her transformation doesn't extend to her clothing and it can be inconvenient or impossible to carry clothing around in her ferrofluid form, depending on circumstances.  When the Atlanta chapter of the United Heroes required her to log a standard costume and kit, she just logged the outfit she most frequently wears.  A dark gray sleeveless shirt and black martial-arts training pants, formfitting about the waist and loose and straight all the way through the leg for maximum mobility.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Arcadia grew up in a suburb of Atlanta, surrounded by most of her extended family.  The Mitchell clan was presided over by her great-grandfather, Anthony Mitchell, and the family was a powerful force at the heart of the community.  Most of the Mitchells had careers dedicated to heroic service to the greater good, in the military or police force, as paramedics or firefighters.  Approximately half of the clan were also Larsenites, members of a semi-religious organization that is now more widely known as an anti-metahuman lobbying group.  While this characterization isn't entirely correct, it is true that most of the Mitchells view the existence of metahumans (villain, hero, or otherwise) as an unfortunate circumstance, on the whole causing more problems than it solves.  They prefer to find inspiring heroes from among the unpowered populace, and are proud to hold this belief.<br/><br/>This made things a little awkward when, at the age of 16, Arcadia became the first Mitchell to manifest.  This occurred during a promotion test at her uncle's martial arts school, when she flowed out of shoulder-lock during a counter-grappling drill.  She immediately shifted back, apologized, and submitted to the lock again to properly demonstrate the escape technique.  There were several members of the Mitchell family in attendance for this portion of the promotion, who were shocked.  Arcadia mostly just wanted to complete the test before dealing with the manifestation.  Her uncle, being similarly levelheaded, proceeded without comment.<br/><br/>Afterward, the family was rather sharply divided, with some feeling that Arcadia should leave well enough alone and continue her normal life without letting her manifestation change things.  Others thought that Arcadia ought to make the best use of all the new opportunities this offered her.  Sharing her mother's Larsenite sympathies, and having had a bad experience with a metahuman jerk early in her high school career, she decided to leave the powers alone for a while.  She continued training with her uncle, and left it at that.<br/><br/>Two years later, while visiting Atlanta, she ran afoul of some low-powered metahuman thugs.  Not particularly powerful or disciplined, they didn't pose much of a threat to a martial artist as skilled as Arcadia.  That said, they did outnumber her, and were tougher than the average gangbanger.  Arcadia ended up having to use her power a few times during the fight, and threw one of her assailants through a store window.  The incident shouldn't have meant anything; Arcadia had only used her power defensively, never even completing a full transformation, and had relied on her martial arts training instead to win.  If anything, it should have been a PR victory for her uncle's school.<br/><br/>But some of her mother's political opponents caught wind of the incident, and produced something of a local media circus around the event, calling out the hypocrisy of Renee Mitchell, who agitated for stronger regulation of metahuman activity while her powered daughter was getting into super-brawls in the streets of Atlanta.  Eventually there were even lawsuits brought.  Ridiculous.  Under this circumstance, Arcadia thought it would be best for her family if she accepted a position in the Atlanta branch of the United Heroes.  This allowed the family to benefit from the UH's legal support and to defuse a lot of the public tension.<br/><br/>Though she'd done this for her family, Arcadia had only solved on problem by creating another; the Larsenites in her family were disappointed in Arcadia's decision to ""heedlessly embrace the lure of power and status without care for the consequences to the world"".  This was a difficult time for her, despite the external benefits.  After a couple of successful years as the hero Bramble, Arcadia left the UH to return to her position as an instructor at uncle's school.<br/><br/>But things are never simple, and her history followed her here.  The students would either disregard or disrespect her because she was a young woman, or elevate her toward idol-worship and unfairly value her judgment over that of other instructors because she had been Bramble.  Either way, not at all helpful to successful training.  Her uncle tried moving Arcadia to a different part of his business, conducting seminars and master-classes for specialized military and law-enforcement personnel, but even here those prejudices and inclinations got in the way.  Feeling dissatisfied enough with her current position to want a big change, Arcadia answered the call when Severance asked for people to come to New Sorea.<br/>-------------------------------<br/>For reference, those of you who aren't familiar with modern ferrofluids:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=XUz1ZI-w6LQ#t=57s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=XUz1ZI-w6LQ#t=57s)<br/><br/>It demonstrates some of the neat properties of ferrofluids and the sorts of things we can make them do without bringing superhero logic into it.  I'm imagining Bramble's substance to look kind of like that and to behave like an expansion of those capabilities in addition to those exhibited by tunable molecular machines and nanomaterials as imagined by various people in science and science fiction.  Introductory post soon to follow."

What are you doing?""</em>Taking a few deep breaths, she settles into a series of balance and footwork drills from Curriculum 3 of the Vantage Combat System.  This occupies the whole of her attention for at least several minutes.  She loses herself in the exercise and doesn't notice the time pass.<br/><br/>When a door opens and several voices and presences make themselves known, she whirls to a more natural posture, slightly flushed from the exertion.<em>""Okay, Self, don't be nervous.  And don't say anything stupid.""</em>As she turns to face the team, Arcadia sees a tall young woman glide through the doorway, moving fluidly and with surprising speed, all long black curls and flashing green eyes in her black bodysuit, armed to the teeth and overflowing with exuberance.<br/><br/>""Hello, you must be Bramble. Nice to meet you.""  The young heroine looks over the new arrival, and finds that her quick examination is answered by Arcadia's own appraising gaze.  She seems to notice something in Arcadia's hesitation, and so continues almost without pause, extending her hand while saying, ""My name is Apex. I am - or rather, was - the point man for all of one mission. Hopefully, you can take over that particular duty.""<br/><br/><em>""Come on self, just say something.""</em><br/><br/>""You know, if you'd say that you were 'on point' instead, you could avoid the awkwardness of describing a woman as a 'point man'.""<br/><br/><em>""Really, Self? <strong>THAT</strong> is how you're going to introduce yourself to the team!?""</em>For a moment, Arcadia feels utterly out of her depth.  There's an awkward pause, and for that fraction of a moment, Arcadia allows herself to feel intimidated.  The two women are both have dark hair, and both stand with the athletic grace of practiced fighters, but the similarity ends there.  It is easy to see herself as the inferior.  Where Apex is tall and shapely, Bramble is shorter, almost stocky, with an altogether more utilitarian physique.<br/><br/>But Arcadia doesn't let herself feel dispirited for more than half a moment.  She draws on Mitchell grit, shakes her head to clear it, arranges her face into a smile, and takes Apex's extended hand.<br/><br/>""Sorry about that.  First day jitters, I guess.  I am Bramble, but you can just call me Kady.  And if you need somebody to stand on the front line and mix it up, I'm glad to be of service."""

Apex used the confusion and delivered a quickly attack that tranquilized Wimbo.<br/>As the Quickmobs had already multiplied at that point and I saw that Jellow seemed rather unaffected from Molds attack, I thought that area attacks would probably be better suited to take Quickmob on and my original plan of slowing down Jellow might have its use after all.<br/>I switched targets with Moldpatch, managed to capture Jellow in slow time. Moldpatch managed to take out a lot of the combatants with his grenade, but surprisingly it was Apex that managed to deal with Quickmob, no idea how she cut them down that fast when I am honest.<br/>Moldpatch grew bigger and roared at the enemy,  then Apex got attacked by Wimbo who had shaken of the effect of the tranquilizer and Bendpole at the same time and called for our support.<br/>I managed to take out Wimbo with a rain of crossbow arrows while Moldpatch grenade forced Bendpole to break fire, though he still succeeded to get a shot in on Moldpatch.<br/>At this time I started to worry, things seemed to easy and i feared that the missing villians might have prepared an ambush,maybe  a new member, a teleporter someone who could turn people invisible. So as it currently seemed unnecessary anyway I stopped speeding up my comrades to concentrate on my sensory abilities.<br/>Luckily I got a clear view of the past, which however only told me that the missing villians had been there just some minutes ago.<br/>We concentrated our fire on Bendpole while Apex dealt with the last minions, unfortunately he suffered an allergic reaction to Moldpatchs spores and Apex had to apply first aid performing Tracheotomy to save him from suffocating.<br/>Well after that Moldpatch tried to heal Bendpole and Apex which unfortunately interfered with Apex Tracheotomy so he had to redo it.<br/>Mold and I then did our best to contain Jellow safely, after that Apex got the call from HQ and the UH trucks arrived shortly after.<br/>Well thats all I can report sir.<br/>"

The rest were in a very loose group, spread out enough that I couldn’t hit all of them with one shot.  Our position was<span class=""bbc_u"">XXX</span>feet from the gangs.“<br/><br/>“They didn’t see us, so we attacked.   D-sychnro threw a piece of scrap (I can tell you what type if it really matters) at one of the quick-mob copies.  He did something to both accelerate it and slow his target.  It was a clone, so it disappeared.  I threw one of my allergenic growths at the group, primarily targeting Jellow.  My attack incapacitated 7 Calutes minions and affected Jellow, who started moving in our direction.  Apex shot Wimbo in the neck with a tranquilizer bolt, taking him out for the time being.  She then charged down the hill and closed with the villains.  While moving she threw four knives, hitting QuickMobs,<span class=""bbc_u"">X </span>in the eye and<span class=""bbc_u"">Y</span>in the throat.  All were clones and simply vanished. Unless you need otherwise, I will forgo a blow-by-blow description of her melee combat.“<br/><br/>“D-synchro suggested that we switch targets and I agreed.  He was able to slow Jellow to the point where she appeared frozen.  At this point she was<span class=""bbc_u"">XXX</span>feet away from our position.  I threw another allergenic growth, this one directly at Apex.  This time, since the gangs had drawn closer to Apex, I was able to affect all the active combatants except Bendpole.  I managed to exclude Apex from the effect, but it is very tiring to do that.  I incapacitated a mixed group of 11 minions, and left the remaining 12 minions and leaving the remaining minions and QuickMobs sneezing.  I also chose to grow to my full size at this point and try to fake being enraged.  At this point we had removed 5 QuickMob clones and they had spawned<span class=""bbc_u"">X</span>copies, leaving<span class=""bbc_u"">Y</span>to deal with.  I thought that seeing a large moss creature roaring might at least be distracting and help us with the remainder.  Apex hit the oldest clone and all of them vanished, leaving Bendpole and 12 minions.”<br/><br/>“Meanwhile Wimbo somehow recovered, I suggest we update his records to reflect some degree of regeneration or drug resistance, and caught Apex by surprise, hitting her twice.  She directed us to concentrate on Wimbo, as she couldn’t reach him.  D-Sychro shot Wimbo with his crossbow hitting him in the body location, which was enough to put him back out of the fight.  I threw an allergenic growth at Bendpole, but he managed to tumble through at least 30 feet of semi-rough terrain to evade the effect.  This is especially impressive given his girth and wounded status.  I shouted, using very poor grammar, in order to leave the impression of extreme stupidity such as the Hulk from comic books.  He retaliated by attacking me, and blew a good sized chunk out of my side, about what I can cover with one hand at full size.  This, and the tumbling, distracted Bendpole enough that Apex was able to hit him in the shoulder with a tranquilizer dart.  Though he stumbled, he was still in the fight.  D-synchro attacks Bendpole, hitting him in the body area but he remains able to fight.”<br/><br/>“By now the absence of Null-Plus, Red Devil, and the original Quick Mob is making me very nervous.  I figure the worst case would be that QuickMobs clones can communicate with the original, and the missing gang members will know we are there.  Even though Apex is wounded, I don’t heal her.  Healing her while not healing the minions she is fighting would again be very tiring, and would make it difficult for me to continue the fight, especially if the missing gang members join in.  I can’t heal myself, but I have already regenerated anyway.  I keep an eye on her condition, but attack Bendpole again instead of healing her.  Bendpole turned out to be very, very allergic to me and went down.  Hard.  Frankly this scared the shit out of me, but keeping in mind that we have an audience of minions who will probably be back on the street soon, I cover my cursing binge with a roar and move to help Apex.”<br/><br/>“Apex does something I didn’t really catch to finish off the minions and then went to give first-aid to Bendpole.  We left base before I could get any Epi-Pens.  I can’t bring them on a plane without a perscription.  So Apex had to do an emergency field tracheotomy.  I start gathering minions, and realize that Apex is still wounded.  Although my healing doesn’t affect allergic reactions, I thought that the effects would help stabilize Bendpole also.  I threw a healing growth at them, and was shocked to see the healing force the tracheotomy tube out of Bendpoles throat.  Apex replaced it.  We gathered the remaining villains, and D-synchro and I each worked on something to try and contain Jellow in case she should recover before help arrived.  Apex called in that the fight was over, and vans arrived to cart the various gang members off.  The entire fight lasted<span class=""bbc_u"">XXX</span>minutes.”<br/><br/>""If that is insufficient detail I can provide more, but I think that should be sufficient.""<br/>"

But I could use his long-range attacks to allow me to cut through the Quick Mob - by the way, you can tell them appart from the original by the fact that they're<em>really</em>stupid and my power allows me to read microexpressions and the like, so I could tell those were at least third-generation clones - and as for Wimbo... well, I<em>thought</em>I could evade his attacks.

""With your size, and your regeneration, you're a perfect damage soaker. I'm not saying that you should become exclusively a front-line fighter, but you should at least have the option to do so, if necessary.""<br/><br/>Once finished, he turns to face all of the gathered heroes. ""We could go on and get into the details of what went well and what went wrong - but I want you to see something.""<br/><br/>On the largest screen of the room - one large enough to make up an entire wall of the pentagonal room - a video begins to play. ""This was caught by one of the surveillance drones that patrol the area around New Sorea - especially the ruins that remain of Old Sorea - to give us advance warning if any warlord wants to attack, or if any other suspicious activity is afoot. Roughly at the same time during which you started fighting your enemies, this happened.""<br/><br/>The video shows an old, abandoned marketplace with the remains of a very expensive water fountain in its center. The only structure that remains recognizable is that of an old wooden church, now mostly rotten but still standing. With a blue flash of light, a five-headed group appears in between the fountain and the church and Severance paused the video.<br/><br/>""The five people you see are Null-Plus, Quick Mob, Red Devil, Blue Pyre and Loverboy."" He points each of them out in turn. Null-Plus, decked out in a heavy, nearly car-sized suit of powered armor styled to look like some kind of lizard, with a sigil of a plus within a zero painted onto its chest, Quick Mob looking just like you remembered, but decked out in enough weaponry to storm a military base. Red Devil, twice as tall as any one else among his group, naked from head to toe with only the fur on his lower half and goat legs preserving his modesty and a black trident large enough to skewer a<em>car</em>, which is also sporting a red glow; his face a perfect image of the classic Italian devil. ""Interestingly enough, Null-Plus is wearing power armor provided by Liztech, a local villain tinker who never enters combat in person, but exclusively provides tech for whoever can pay his rates - which are far,<em>far</em>too high for Null-Plus to have been able to afford this kind of power armor, even if both the Bang Boys and the Calutes put their entire money together. But it gets even better with the other two.""<br/><br/>The other two were a woman and a man. Blue Pyre was a<em>stunningly</em>beautiful, African woman dressed in scraps of blue silk tied around her body to hide the most critical spots - or they would have, were they not transparent. Like this, she was basically naked. Still, she stood tall and proud, her hair burning blue. ""This is Blue Pyre, an A-Class fire manipulator, teleporter and flyer and the first superhero to set up shop here in New Sorea, until she vanished a month ago. Three days ago, we learned why - because of<em>him</em>,"" Severance commented with a look of pure disgust on his face. He pointed towards the final member of the group.<br/><br/>Loverboy was another clear benefitiary of the physique-power, with a stunning body that, even through his fullbody red-and-pink supersuit, could bring some heat to the faces of the two women present. The fact that it was skintight<em>and</em>very much showed off his massive 'package' also helped to that fact. Otherwise, he seemed unarmed and was merely standing next to Blue Pyre, his hand firmly holding her unclad buttcheek.<br/><br/>""Loverboy is one of those metahumans with a slew of unconnected powers. He can create a control field around himself that dampens all emotions, making people calm and servile - though it is not very useful against anyone with proper training in resisting such techniques. Furthermore, he can attack with mental blasts that weaken a persons mind, until they are either completely servile for a short time or passed out. But his favourite power is his ability to control the mind of anyone he has sexual contact with, with complete control requiring an hour-long session at least. Which we think is the reason why Blue Pyre defected. She probably didn't have a choice.""<br/><br/>He paused for a moment, taking a deep breath as the disgust for this situation was clear on his face. ""Taking down Loverboy and saving Blue Pyre would have been our first great mission - and I<em>mean</em>our. We would have all gone in together to take him down and free her. But that's a moot point now. And things get<em>worse</em>. Loverboy is a solo-operative who does<em>not</em>participate in battles, only caring about living the good life with his harem waiting on him hand and foot. Why would he join this coalition - why would the Bang Boys and Calutes join forces, either? And who paid for Null-Plus' armor? We estimate it to be worth about<em>five million American dollars</em>. There are very few people around here who could field that kind of equipment. And, finally,<em>who is <strong>this</strong>?</em>""<br/><br/>The video continues to play as Null-Plus uses his power on his comrades, one after the other. Quick Mob rapidly multiplies into about a hundred and fifty-six individuals, all armed to the teeth. Red Devil's skin grows an armor of scales as his trident nearly doubles in length and size, with the glow around it becoming almost solid. Blue Pyre's clothes are reduced to ashes as lines of fire cover her entire body like an extremely elaborate tattoo and her burning hair extends to be thrice as long as her body from head to toe. There is no visible change for Loverboy, but he shudders and stands a bit straighter and more confident.<br/><br/>Finally, the doors of the church open and a single figure walks out. It's a woman whom the heroes at first think to be African, naked and heavily tattooed - until they realize that she<em>is</em>naked, but she certainly is neither of African descent, nor tattooed. Her body is pitch-black from head to toe, making her look more like a silhouette or a cut-out than a person. The drone zooms closer, revealing that her perfectly shaped body not only makes Blue Pyre look plain, but also possesses all the features of a female body - except they are all pitch-black and can barely be made out. Even her knee-length hair is of the same colour as the rest of her body, as are her eyes. However, from where her tears would emerge, lines coloured a deep, nearly black purple emerge to cover her body in elaborate patterns that seem to emphasize her charms, even though they are almost imperceptible, at least in full daylight.<br/><br/>The strange woman walks down to stand before the first step of the church's entrance and before anyone can say anything, her tattoos flare for a moment and she charges head-first towards Null-Plus. The villain emits a beam of a barely visible haze - ""His nullification power,"" comments Apex as she watches the scene unfold - but the strange woman ignores it, plowing through the beam and tackling Null-Plus. She not only hits him, but slips<em>into</em>and<em>through</em>him, exciting the power armor on the opposing side holding the bloody heart of a human in her right hand, which beats a few more times and then goes still.<br/><br/>The other villains and the mind-controlled hero turn to attack her, but she just falls down into the ground, leaving the heart behind as the effects of Null-Plus power immediately wear off. Her enemies form a circle to defend themselves, only for her to take the most predictable course of action - rise from the ground in between them, her arms reaching into Loverboy's chest. The deviant supervillain seizes up as she pulls his torso vertically in two, then sinks down into the ground to leave him to fall down as Blue Pyre to seize up as well, followed by her dropping like a puppet with her strings cut and Red Devil to stab his lance into the ground to no effect. The monstrous man gives a frustrated shout as the Quick Mob panicks, the members firing wildly around themselves - until they all vanish at the same time, leaving only the original to fall onto his knees, his groin and guts having been ripped off by their enemy. He looks at his mutilated lower half with more surprise than pain, then drops down, dead.<br/><br/>Finally, Red Devil also seems to give up, charging away from his spot towards where the city must be - only for the woman to rise from the ground in front of him and charge. He swings at her with his glowing trident, but the weapon passes through her harmlessly and she punches him in the face, throwing him back almost across the entire marketplace. She seems momentarily surprised, judging by her posture, but then she charges towards the stunned villain and, just as he's about to rise, kicks his head with a bare foot. The savage kick severs his head from his shoulders, making it fly off out of the view of the drone.<br/><br/>As she's finished with her enemies, she walks back to where they stood at first and uses Quick Mob's blood to write something onto the paved ground. Then, she grabs Blue Pyre by her hair, pulling the unconscious and equally naked woman up.<br/><br/>The drone zooms closer as the untouchable woman opens her mouth - and opens it. Her lower jaw drops and drops, stretching her mouth to cartoonish proportions, until it reaches her own belly button. A long black tongue, covered in the same barely perceptible purple patterns, snakes out of her mouth. It winds around Blue Pyre's body as the victorious metahuman lets go of her last victims hair and pulls her into her grossly enlarged mouth head first. Her mouth closes and Blue Pyre is vanished, the strange woman showing no sign of the victimized heroine being anywhere inside her body, as there are no dents or bulges. Finally, she sinks into the ground and does not return.<br/><br/>Taking the chance, the drone flies directly above the marketplace to show the writing in full view - one word:<strong>Shades</strong><br/><br/>Severance freezes the video on that picture. ""Any thoughts on that? I want your opinion before it's coloured by what<em>I</em>know."""

But we can't be sure, her face is like a mask. Maybe it even<em>is</em>a mask."" He brings it back to the 'Shades' writing. ""Either way, here's what we<em>do</em>know. 'Shades' is a criminal organization that appeared in New Sorea even before the boom began, when it had just been finished. They have two - now three - members that we know about, as well as an alleged 'Leader' who coordinates them. The known members are<em>Lamia</em>,<em>Fated</em>and now this one whom we will, for now, call 'Shades 3' until we find out her name.""<br/><br/>Pictures appear of two other female metahumans. The first, labeled<em>Lamia</em>, is an obvious case for the old Chimaera-classification. She looks like an extraordinarily beautiful, nude woman of Asian descent - from her waist up. Below, she is very much monstrous - her waist joins with the neck of a body that seems<em>very</em>female. Or at least, it's upper half is that of a human female, though the size of a very large horse or even a car, with oversized human arms that end in long, sharp claws. The lower half reminds one more of a lioness or a similiar animal, though its hips are more of a mix of a human woman's and those of a lioness, with the tail of a scorpion. A monstrous head, shaped like a mix of a beautiful woman and a lioness, sprouts from the neck of this monstrous body, also taking the place that the human part's genitals would have, its sharp teeth dripping with the same poison that drips from her tail. She wears no costume - in fact, she wears no<em>clothing</em>at all. The monstrous parts of her body have no fur and are instead covered by extremely fine, small green scales that seem to be made of emeralds.<br/><br/>The other one, labeled<em>Fated</em>, is another beautiful woman (seems to be a theme with this organisation) decked out in extremely formfitting and thin, elaborate golden armor that shows off her perfect body shape. Since it covers her from head to toe, her ethnicity cannot be determined. Her arms and legs have heavier armoring and she is seen leisurely walking towards an opponent, apparently unconcerned about attacks.<br/><br/>""Fated is the first member of Shades we found out about,"" explained Severance. ""She is a Variable-Type - specifically, she can take on whichever powers are best for fighting her opponent, though she is limited to the enemies power levels - meaning that while her potential may be higher than anyone else's, she only gets enough power to be their equal. And she can only chose one catalyst for her power at a time. By itself, that would already be quite the problem.<em>But</em>she also draws herself and her chosen opponent into a pocket dimension from which they can only leave once one of them has won the battle, enforcing a fair duel. She also has some general physical enhancements - she's stronger, faster and tougher than even a top-athlete. Exercise extreme caution and try to take her out before she can draw any of you into one of her 'Fated Duels'.""<br/><br/>He turns to point at Lamia. ""Lamia here is more straight-forward. Enhanced strength, speed and toughness, extremely sharp senses, the second-strongest regeneration in and around New Sorea, as well as an extremely potent, paralytic poison. She's also a cannibal<em>and</em>has severe anger management issues. If you fight her, try to stay out of close combat unless you are immune to poisons and<strong>do not</strong>target the human part of her body - I've tried that already. It may be fully functional, but it's just a decoy. Her core, including her brain, is<em>somewhere</em>in her lower body. And not in her monstrous head, either. I cut that one off as well. In fact, I once severed all of her limbs and the human part and she regrew them within a minute.""<br/><br/>He sits down on a chair and calls up some numbers. ""The only thing we know about the leader of Shades is that he or she is supposed to be a genius - probably a perception-type with enhanced intelligence. So far, he or she has not appeared in person."" A new picture shows up on the big screen, a map of New Sorea and the surrounding country-side with several red dots spread across it, accompanied by dates. ""The dots mark any appearance by Lamia or Fated, as well as any crimescene in which we think that Shades was involved. All in all, we have nine confirmed and thirteen suspected cases. They range from simple theft to torture and murder. To this day, they have limited themselves to attacking other criminal organizations and taking over their trades.

She passes the list on to one of her underlings and the young man hurries off to deliver the message.<br/><br/>Then she turns back to them. ""Now, as to your questions. Follow me."" She leads them through a side door into a long hallway. As they walk down the hallway, she continues to talk. ""There is no<em>requirement</em>for masks anywhere, unless you wish to make sure your identity remains a secret.

""For the purposes of your<em>civillian</em>identity, the United Heroes Identity Department will provide you with fake documentation, as well as fake jobs complete with enough details to pass even in-depth background checks. You may reveal your identity to the public, if you want, but you are not allowed to reveal or endanger to reveal the identity of another teammember, unless said teammember gives you explicit permission. That means that<em>you</em>, Miss Mitchell, that you should utilize wigs and other means of hiding your own identity, if you wish to spend your time in civics with teammembers outside of the headquarters.""<br/><br/>The four of them enter a large room with a windowfront giving a good view of the city below. There is a very refreshing air current circulating in the room, stirring their hair, as a fresh, indistinct smell carries to their noses. Even though no windows are open and it has the same ventilation as every other room. ""You are also forbidden from revealing a<em>supervillains</em>secret identity, or using knowledge of such against them, unless you have explicit orders to the contrary - this way, we avoid lawsuits and encourage supervillains to play ball in kind. Which is also why I must remind you that lethal force is forbidden unless you have explicit orders<em>or</em>during emergency situations.""<br/><br/>She pauses in front of the room to take a breath.

""Ah yes, I was going to introduce you. May I introduce, one of the original Shining Guardians - Fragrance."" The air stirs around the group and they can make out the barely perceptible form of a nude woman, formed out of air currents, shifting and changingdispersing again even as they look at her.<br/><br/>""I'm sure all of you have heard about her, though most people tend to forget that she's still active - at least in a support role. She does not take part in actual combat and missions,"" Killian continues. And it's true - officially, as far as all of them know, Fragrance has been retired for decades. Then again, considering her condition - her manifestation transformed her body irreversibly into pure air - it makes sense that she would neither age, nor have much use for retirement. Supposedly, she does not even need to sleep. ""Fragrance usually acts as security, making sure that no one enters the premises without being noticed and providing emergency assistance. Thankfully, she decided to help set up the local UH division, and will thus support us for the next while.""<br/><br/>A low, barely perceptible laugh fills the air.<em>""Stars above, Clare, you can make anything sound boring, don't you?""</em>the mirthful voice speaks up again.<em>""Listen, the rule is basically this - as long as you draw a paycheck from us, you have to be properly heroic, since everything you do, even as a civillian, reflects back on us.

With those words, she just vanishes into thin air (pun intended).<br/><br/>The rooms prove to be pretty sparsely furnished - in each there is a desk along with a chair in each room, a double-sized bed with nightstand and a wardrobe. The personal toilet is large enough to be comfortable, but nothing special.

What comes to influencing your surroundings it all depends on your resources and your own abilities. Also if you picked noble class you automatically gain power to influence in form of Favor class feature (and belong to one greater houses which itself grants some ability to pull weight around).<br/><br/>But as Red Priest your influence lays in your skills and ability influence people to believe you or follow your bidding (or crudely use spells for that). Events may proceed in start 'canonically' but player's actions can have influence which will divert/change the flow so to speak, all depending how well they can influence things.<br/><br/>Some you may accidentally be in right time and right place to make a difference (by GM's decision) and then in during dramatic moments you can alter history. Example if you would be in present of Execution of Ned Stark and when king would declare his judgment, with well time diplomacy or simple spell could change history quite damn lot (or talking with the blond bastard before execution ceremony to actually go with what his mother and his bride to be ask of him)."

These lists tell us what will be central to our game. The lists include Relationships, Needs, Locations, and Objects. Please download a copy of the Playset Havana 1953 at http://www.bullypulpitgames.com/downloads/<br/><br/>These lists are broken up into 6 categories, and each category further broken down to 6 elements.<br/><br/>Everybody must have a relationship with the person to their left and right.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 12pt;""><strong><br/>Roll the Dice</strong></span><br/><br/>2 white and 2 black per person. 12 total. Each player will take a turn choosing 1 die from the center. The color does not matter at this point, only the number. You will use this number to choose categories and elements from the lists. When it's your turn you may:<br/><br/>Establish a category (a relationship, need, object, location) or<br/>Further define an existing category with an element<br/><br/>This will continue until all dice are used.

When it is your turn, you may set up or resolve a scene. To set up a scene, you tell the group what's going on, where it's taking place, who else is in the scene (and other players can play PCs or NPCS as needed). As the Scene unfolds, the rest of the group will pass you a white or a black die. This lets you know if the scene will end well or badly for your character. When your scene is over, the person who started it types ""END SCENE"". When you Resolve a scene, the group sets the scene for your character, and YOU choose if you get a white or a black die as it progresses.<br/><br/>In Act 1, you give the dice you were awarded to another player, any other  player. In Act 2, you keep the dice you are awarded. Act 1 ends when half of the dice in the middle are passed out.<br/><br/>The Table Diagram: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1_Ui1uikSxyiriJYeJ4HCC1eIU7vVl21C2aMX4nvnhNY/edit?pli=1<br/>"

You may choose to establish a scene or resolve a scene. If you Establish,<em>you</em>choose the scene setup, the characters, etc. If you choose to Resolve a scene, everyone else chooses the setup. Once the framework for the scene is set, then the players will RP it out. As it unfolds, we will decide (usually everyone that is not in the scene decides) if the scene will end well or poorly for the character in the spotlight. This is designated by giving the person a black die or a white die from the middle of the table.<br/><br/>When you are ""awarded"" a die, in Act 1, you give the die to anyone else on the table. In Act 2, you keep the die. So in the end, everyone will have an assortment of black and white dice. After the aftermath, when all the plans are ruined, we'll use these dice to facilitate the ""what happened to them afterwards"" montage, where we'll each take a turn describing what happened, good or bad. It may be a little confusing, but we'll get to that when we get there.<br/><br/>So! If you have an idea for a scene in mind, go ahead and offer it on this post, and choose PCs or some NPCs for the other players to control and get this thing going.<br/><br/>Formatting:<br/><br/>I'd like to keep general OOC business on this thread, but when posting things such as discussing which die to award, or things directly about the scene unfolding, then please use spoiler tags within the main RP thread. So hopefully as someone reads the RP, it is an uninterrupted story, at least that's the idea.<br/><br/><div class=""codeheader"">Code: <a class=""codeoperation"" href=""javascript:void(0);"" onclick=""return smfSelectText(this);"">[Select]</a></div><pre style=""margin: 0; padding: 0;""><code class=""bbc_code""><br/>[spoiler]<br/><br/>I think Ebb should get a white die for this scene, what do you guys think?""<br/><br/>[/spoiler]<br/><br/></code></pre>"

There was obviously some sort of scam or heist planned at the Havana Tropicana Casino, but the plans were foiled when he lost the loaded dice. So he's meeting up with his contractor. This could be a mob boss, or a drug kingpin (or queenpin :P), and they are just making sure everything is going smoothly.

When he was a child, his mother (only parent) died from illness, and left to fend on his own, he struggled. He eventually joined up with a gang of thugs, who were at least a little impressed at the boy's strength, resiliency, and tenacious nature. As he got older, he got more respect, and a better cut of the loot.<br/><br/>As one might expect, though, sooner or later, justice came down on the brigands. It was brutal, and it was over pretty damn quickly. It was only laziness on the part of those whom hunted them that he managed to get away with his life. He had been shot in three places by quarrels from crossbowmen, and they decided he had zero chance of living when he skulked off into the wilderness. Why bother tiring themselves out, chasing him down?<br/><br/>But he didn't die. With all the stubbornness he could manage, he struggled on; and perhaps it was the work of the Seven. Maybe it was divine agency. Maybe it was the Old Gods, or the New Gods, or something else entirely. But when he was at that point where he couldn't go on much longer, He met a woman.<br/><br/>Septa Evalaine Gaunt.  She tended to him, helped steal him away from death's doorstep, and keep him in the world of the living. While he lay, so certain of his death, he rambled--some times deliriously, and in a nonsensical fashion-- about the horrible things he's done. There may have been crying (although he'll certainly insist he would never cry. Real men don't do that!).<br/><br/>In a way, it was like some sort of death bed confession. Except, he didn't die. She managed to bring him back, and though his body does still occasionally ache here and there, and is marked with scars, he stands as a testament to her steady hands, quick mind, and skill. While he recovered, he started asking the Septa questions. At first, it was just one or two about her, and why she had chosen to be what she is. Then, later on, he showed a bit of curiosity towards the Seven; something he was quite ignorant of.<br/><br/>In fact, he was not very religious at all. In his own words ""Old Gods, or New, why should I care to honor 'em? They've done me no favors, and they'll get none from me."" But, gradually, his attitude changed.  The Septa was able to make good points. The manner in which they met was really hard for Redric to understand in any other way; perhaps it was those New Gods, showing him that they actually gave a damn. Maybe.<br/><br/>And still, he's sort of at that maybe stage. He's still learning from the Septa more fully about the Gods. He knows plenty about the Warrior, and understandably so, but the other six are... well, he knows a bit. He knows their names! And what they do. Mostly.<br/><br/>And some times, he needs to be reminded of what he did. What did he do? He decided to make a vow, decided to do what was probably the first honorable thing in his life. He vowed to keep her safe. And, now that a new path seemed to open up to him, he wanted to try to find some way he could right the wrongs he knows full well he committed. For sure, he justifies himself well in saying that it was needed; that was how he survived. But he doesn't just hold onto that reasoning; he doesn't excuse or absolve himself. He admits he's done wrong. Now, he's trying to figure out how to make up for his brief life time of that."

However, he makes up for both his with wider build, ferocity, and propensity to lose himself in combat and wrestle men to the ground, ripping joints out of place and dislocating limbs. The men that fight with him prefer his method to that of his cousins, since they are less likely to be hurt by collateral damage, though this method of fighting is often seen as un-knightly and overly dangerous, coming at armed men with your bare hands.<br/><br/>Not an overly cunning boy, nor one whose tongue was as silvered as some of the other nobles, Nathos grew up being shaped as a tool to be wielded rather than a leader of men. He was taught the knight's code and of chivalry, but the lessons rarely stuck with the boy who had a cruel streak, and who would often take his frustrations out on the weaker boys in the castle, forcing them into submission. Their screams would carry out through his parents' keep, but his parents always put it off to ""boys being boys"".<br/><br/>Nathos gained his nickname, ""The Bear"" when in his teens he wrestle a captive bear that had been weakened from starvation and thirst. Still, the animal was ferocious and tried to tear the man apart, yet Nathos succeeded in subduing it and choked it to death with little more than his hands, grasping and tearing for leverage against the mighty beast. There his reputation began, and after that he was often invited to King's Landing to serve as King Robert's champion when duels were needed.<br/><br/>Recently he has been called back to his parents' keep when they grew ill, and after their death took to wandering the roads and picking fights with lone folk who would rarely be missed but were too big for their britches. His dark temper that flares unexpectedly often gets him in trouble, but his size and ferocity intimidates those who would trouble him and forces them to think twice lest they anger the Bear."

As a child, Davek's father taught him how to hunt, gather, and live off the land. It was a meager existence, but not without its simple joys. Still, Davek sought more from life, and as a young man journeyed to the city to seek his fortune. With his talents, Davek joined the guard and quickly showed himself to be well-suited to wilderness patrols, frequently working alone. Though he was never well-known or renowned, Davek's pay as part of the guard afforded him a better life than he had ever possessed as a simple hunter. Davek has a strong sense of duty, as well as a fierce, though somewhat unfounded, loyalty to his superiors in the city guard (and ultimately House Lannister).<br/><br/>Davek is a widower. His wife died three years ago, giving birth to his young son, named Tywin for his lord. Since becoming a father, Davek's priorities have shifted. He has struggled through the poverty of being a peasant all his life, fighting tooth and nail just to make anything of himself. He has vowed that the same fate will not befall his son. Tywin currently lives with Davek's younger sister and her family, while Davek has redoubled his efforts to serve House Lannister. His hope is that, if he can impress the right lord with a valorous act of service, that lord might be able to someday make Tywin a squire and give him a chance at knighthood. He dreams that, by doing this, he can give his son a chance at a life he never had."

His mother was a chaste and dutiful Red Priestess of R'hllor. She met his father at a town celebration, and was swept off her feat by the traveling merchant. He charmed her and she forgot her vows for that one night. It was all he needed, and by the time she realised she was with child, he was already well out of her life. Even though the Red Priesthood doesn't require celibacy, Claude's mother felt that Claude himself was a constant reminder that she had broken her vows to her God. She wasn't cruel, and her sense of duty and charity made it impossible for her to neglect Claude of his basic needs. She didn't give him the love of a Mother though, she looked at him as one might a scar, he was a living embodiment of her mistake and failure.<br/><br/>The rest of the Priesthood pitied the boy. They came in to offer the additional care that a child needed outside of food and water. He was more raised by them than his mother, and once she realized she had an 'out,' she took it. Claude's mother became more secluded from the Priesthood in her own internal torment, and thus, away from her own son. It only made sense that as the boy came of age, he began to learn the ways of the Red Priests and of R'hllor. The god R'hllor had a few main tenants, but a god who embraced so many good ideals allowed for some room for interpretation. Claude's personal experiences shaped him so that Light and Fire were the essence of Life. His philosophy was enforced by his gifts, as flashes of insight and healing came naturally to him. Where some Red Priests would stare into bonfires for wisdom, Claude could stare into a man's eyes to see the fire inside for the same; Where Red Priests would light larger fires to appease R'hllor, Claude would live his life to the fullest, making the most of R'hllor's gift to all living creatures. Life was to be lived bright, even if the brightest candles burn out the fastest.<br/><br/>The Red Priests accepted Claude, but his Mother still saw him as a sign to her own fall from grace. She returned to being a figure in the Priesthood, denouncing Claude's interpretations of their great God, if only to spite him. Claude took his leave of the local Chapter, if only because he felt wrong to quarrel with his own mother. He left in the Priesthood's good graces, heading west to Westeros to spread the word of R'hllor, to help others live their lives to the fullest and brightest, to help remove the guilt of regrets, to brighten the shadows that threaten the world."

While Harry raged, she was left to do the only thing she could do for them. Keep them safe. Because other than that need to protect one of the last things she had, she was numb. They couldn't find Ron. And believe her, they tried. He had been on the dragon. They knew that. But somewhere in the lake, Ron had been lost.

So, after hours of calming down, after deciding that they couldn't go to Hogwarts to try to find the one surely hidden there, not without a clue of what happened to Ron, they pitched the tent like they used to back when Ron had left them and made dinner and pushed food around on their plates while listening to the Radio. And suddenly the music clicked off and an announcement started, the Weasley twins in stereo.<br/><br/>""Hogwarts has fallen. I repeat Hogwarts has fallen.

Hermione's face fell with every name she recognized, every teacher of Hogwarts having fallen save the Carrows, Madam Pomfrey and Hagrid having been the only to have escaped immediate death, though their whereabouts were announced as unknown. The Order, she noted bitterly, had lost only those who could truly become Harry's mentors. Shacklebolt and Lupin were the only she'd met from the Order who'd perished, though she didn't recognize a couple of names. The announcement ended as quickly as it started. Her eyes met Harry's and she spoke for the first time since they'd been forced to bunker down by the presence of the snatchers.<br/><br/>""The others. We need to find them."""

It was the best word he could use to describe what was going on in front of him. The room was packed, full of students and Order members, namely the majority of the Weasley family as Tonks had gone to put Teddy to sleep and the Twins went to put out their Radio Broadcast. Namely, the issue going on directly in front of him was Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley having a shouting match of the century and the younger generation of Slytherins (none of the fifth, sixth or Seventh years had wanted to escape, believing themselves safe) standing behind their house mate while the rest of the sixth and seventh years either yelled with Ginny or at him.

Most of the younger children, and some of the older students, had already been divided amongst the safe houses to be returned to families. The group left standing in front of him was mostly the old DA, several with wands drawn. He glared at them and all save Ginny put away their wands.<br/><br/>He muttered Mufflato and his voice returned to normal. He sighed and looked at the two in front of him, running a hand through his hair. ""Alright then. Gin, you have to understand, he was helping us protect the younger children, even when his friends had already hopped over to the other side.

Like her, he was often misunderstood and underestimated. He had more strength than he looked.<br/><br/>With the younger children now sent away, she turned her attention towards the other three. Ginny was still angry, understandable. But the two of them would have to agree to disagree. Not that Draco's snobby attitude would help that happen. Still sitting, she tilted her head slightly as Draco made his last snag and just looked at the other three with a distance glaze. ""I didn't take you for the kind of boy that liked dairies."" Luna finally spoke in her light airy voice, and something that would irritate too. Though she didn't know that. She had no understanding of the real meaning behind the diary snag towards Ginny. Her simple comment, was just that, a comment in observation. Draco really didn't seem like the kind of boy that would keep a diary. Didn't boys like him usually think them to be unmanly?"

The “I’ll be watching you” wasn’t necessary, since the former Death Eater wasn’t exactly in the clear quite yet. He could turn back at any moment, should his mother or father call. He didn’t quite catch the barb sent in Gin’s direction, but he could catch the sarcasm. He glared at him lightly, but Luna beat him to berating him. “A diary may be appropriate for such an occasion, Luna.”<br/><br/>He looked to the rest of the DA members, the ones who’d supported him and Ginny during the school year. “Look. It’s not normally the best situation. But why the hell would we turn an ally away? Hogwarts is supposed to be unified. The bloody hat told us that about three times now. Why the hell should we just turn him away when if we do and he goes back, he’ll be at least Crutiatus’d, if not worse?” He rubbed at his arms, lightly, remembering the feeling. Almost all of them had had to suffer the curse under the Carrow’s reign. It wasn’t exactly the most pleasant feeling in the world.<br/><br/>Hell, he could see Seamus rubbing his arms. Half-blood that he was. And he was still glaring at Draco, though he was obviously a bit more willing to talk than Ginny was. “Look Nev, we trust you. You guys kept us sane during this past year mate, but this guy’s not trustworthy. What if You-Know-Who is behind all this? Or hell, what if his father hears about this one?”<br/><br/>"

Harry had made it a point that no one else was going to die for him, but how wrong he was. Harry felt stupid for not thinking to go to Hogwarts first and look for a Horcrux there. He had to have known that some kind of retaliation would be had from hunting the horcruxes, and a dragon making its way out of a bank and across the skies wasn't the most subtle thing ever. All those people that died..and now Ron was lost too. For all they know  he could have drowned. Now, the fate of this war really was on Harry Potters shoulders. He had no idea two years ago, that Dumbledore's Army was going to need to become a literal Army for the Wizarding world to fight the legion of death eaters.<br/><br/>Harry was in tears, almost beside himself. He had no mentors, no Allies beyond Hermionie in the moment. The Boy who Lived was trying to put his mind together as Hermionie finally spoke. ""I don't know where to start Hermionie.."" He rested his arms on her shoulders looking her in the eye, ""As far as I know you're all I have left..and I'm not going to let you go.."" He tried to mull over where any survivors could have gone. None of the Weasly's died..maybe they have a safe house! do we have a way to find out? Unless you have a spell that can trace radio signals.."" If there was anything in the world that seemed impossible, he felt quite sure that Hermionie could do it. Her knowledge and talent in the arcane was astounding. He found himself though in a sort of manner, almost holding her as he gave his suggestion. Physicically, mentally, emotionally, he couldn't let Hermionie go. If he could save her life he would die for it."

And because of that, there was no way you'd be safe if we were to leave you behind at Hogwarts. But now is a different matter. We won't kill you, but we'll certainly leave you to fend for yourself and take the children with us. This includes all of the young Slytherin's currently housed here.""

The best bit would be letting Voldemort know that there was still a fight. That they could still reach him. Though how to best do that still evaded her. For the nonce though, she started packing. Her face was set and determined. They could win. They would win. She knew it. The only problem was how to best do this. The only step she knew they had to take immediately was them getting to the Weasleys. To Ginny, Neville and Luna. This needed to happen. Then she could rest. Then she would grieve but until then. She needed to take care of what she still had left. Because as much as Harry thought he was alone, she knew that Ginny was alive. The Twins would have announced if their sister had died in the list. They would have been crying more. Ginny was still alive. She would keep hold of that for Harry for now, until he regained his senses. Their friends were alive."

Seamus and Dean even walked up and clapped him on the back. Most of the upper class Slytherins had left for the Death Eaters after all, leaving, as far as he was aware, Draco as their only Slytherin ally. Alive at least. He remembered Slughorn fighting for them and knew other former Slytherins would be allies, just as he recognized that just because they weren't Slytherins didn't mean they were allies.<br/><br/>Now for dealing with the adults. He looked to the staircase and saw Tonks glaring, hair fiery red and her arms crossed as she looked at who she knew was a Death Eater in the same house as her child. She was not happy and it showed in her posture and glare. ""Any who are in this room who aren't Order members it's bed time. We got things to do in the morning."" She said over the din of people. ""Those of you who have fought with us can stay."" This automatically meant Neville, Luna, and Gin, as they had all fought with the Order in the Battle at the Ministry, and Draco. Most others went to bed. He watched as the Weasley's wandered down past the students, though Mrs Weasley instructed them on how to find empty space as they left.<br/><br/>Mr. Weasley conjured extra chairs as several people worked their way into the room. Order members took seats and some seats that were conjured were left empty. Tonks took a seat next to an empty one and her hair turned grey and lifeless for a moment before her eyes found Draco's again. Mr Weasley looked around and decided with a deep sigh that he was the most senior of the Order members at this safe house. He glared at Draco before he stood up. ""Tonight.... was honestly the worst loss we've ever suffered in the history of the War. Before, even while war went rampant around the country there was a place where we could send our children and be assured our children would at the very least return to us alive. While the last year had been a test of that, many of our children are safe, even though there are far too many Muggles who can't say the same thing. Tonight though... We will grieve those who have been friends, lovers, teachers and comrades. Those who have protected those important to them. Those in whose name we will continue this fight. And we will continue to fight and protect those who are important to us. We will also grieve the loss of a place that we've all at one point or another have lived. Where we've made friends, had lovers, made enemies and rivals, the loss of a place where many memories were created. Because Hogwarts has fallen and with that, Magical Britain has been taken.""<br/><br/>He took a deep breath and summoned a list from a table. ""The following are members that we have found to be dead or heroes who fell in the defense of Hogwart's youth."" His voice trembled as the names rolled from his lips, name after name. Keeping an eye on Tonk's hair was a good way to tell the mood of the room, though her hair turned almost white as Lupin's name was said, wrinkles becoming apparent for the first time in memory. Neville was able to distract himself from the sadness welling inside him by watching her, though that seemed to make him just as depressed to see the normally vibrant woman so dull. After the list of names was read, Mr Weasley looked at the room. ""In memory of those who died in the fight against He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, I ask for a moment of silence."" He bowed his head for a good while, Neville bowing his in respect as well, before he straightened, cleared his throat and changed his posture to one of power not of sadness. He seemed to have aged a good five years, but his demeanor seemed to change that of the room as he glared at Draco. ""Now, onto the next order of business. We seem to have a Death Eater in our midst.""<br/>"

While Harry raged, she was left to do the only thing she could do for them. Keep them safe. Because other than that need to protect one of the last things she had, she was numb. They couldn't find Ron. And believe her, they tried. He had been on the dragon. They knew that. But somewhere in the lake, Ron had been lost. And, what was even worse, they heard snatcher or death eaters near the lake. So they had to hide again. And that's what they did. She made them safe while Harry cursed their inability to do anything to find or save their friend. She felt numb.<br/><br/>They had the Horcrux. That was important. But they were left without their best friend. Her secret, or not so secret, crush. And they had not a clue how to find him. So, after hours of calming down, after deciding that they couldn't go to Hogwarts to try to find the one surely hidden there, not without a clue of what happened to Ron, they pitched the tent like they used to back when Ron had left them and made dinner and pushed food around on their plates while listening to the Radio. And suddenly the music clicked off and an announcement started, the Weasley twins in stereo.<br/><br/>""Hogwarts has fallen. I repeat Hogwarts has fallen. Only a couple of hours ago, He who must not be named waged a full on attack on the castle. The following named are heroes who fell while protecting the children escaping: Minerva McGonnagol, Filius Flitwick, Sybill Trewlany, Remus Lupin, Kingsley Shacklebolt..."" Hermione's face fell with every name she recognized, every teacher of Hogwarts having fallen save the Carrows, Madam Pomfrey and Hagrid having been the only to have escaped immediate death, though their whereabouts were announced as unknown. The Order, she noted bitterly, had lost only those who could truly become Harry's mentors. Shacklebolt and Lupin were the only she'd met from the Order who'd perished, though she didn't recognize a couple of names. The announcement ended as quickly as it started. Her eyes met Harry's and she spoke for the first time since they'd been forced to bunker down by the presence of the snatchers.<br/><br/>""The others. We need to find them."""

His plain, short, brown hair, and eyes of a similar hue, likewise do not stick out. He tends to dress himself in casual but high quality clothing, believing that appearances are of importance (though surely not the most important thing).<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Cold and calculating, he is also possessed of a grim sense of humor.  He takes genuine delight in evil actions; though always, they are carefully orchestrated ones. He has plenty of patience, and prefers to not be bogged down with 'idle' actions; he would rather toil and labor to pull off some grand scheme, and is not satisfied with more simpler and minor acts of evil.  Jaded, somewhat cynical.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>A pure blood wizard who graduated from Hogwarts. Not too much is known about this man, or even of his family; they have always, as a general rule, been reclusive and shy of the 'lime light'. They are known to be a Dark family, though; at least, certain circles know this. His father is a premier synthesizer and seller of poisons, potions, and the like, that are of an inherently Dark nature.  His apolitical mother is an expert seductress and spy, an information broker who trades in other peoples secrets.<br/><br/>Erik, for his part, is a trainer killer, through and through. It is his capacity to plot, to plan, to carry through and achieve his goal, without being distracted or dissuaded, that caught the Dark Lord's attention. Though relatively new to the Death Eaters, in terms of actually working as one of them, he has already proven himself useful during the siege at the castle, where he was personally responsible for poisoning, and then killing, Shacklebolt (turns out being delirious with fever and having the runs makes combat pretty damn difficult!), as well as personally killing several Aurors.<br/><br/><strong>Wand:</strong>Ten inch long wand made of Ebony. The core material of this wand is Banshee hair. Because of the material, it is a rather powerful wand when it comes to Curses, but has an inherently sinister, almost Dark quality to it. Not for the weak of mind, or faint of heart. Supposedly, owners of wands with this core material tend to die young, often in  violent manners.<br/><br/><strong>Reason for Joining the Death Eaters:</strong>For the most part, he is a believer in the inherent superiority of the pure-blood Wizards and Witches.  Another motivation for him joining, however, is the challenge it poses. He finds most work unsatisfying in that it never seems to truly challenge him, to push him to be better; and he views his work as a Death Eater as being a possible source of challenge for him. Something that will make him feel 'alive'.<br/><br/>Agility: 2<br/>Athletics: 2<br/>Awareness: 3 (Notice 1)<br/>Cunning: 4 (Strategy 2)<br/>Deception: 3<br/>Endurance: 3 (Resilience 1, Stamina 1)<br/>Fighting: 2<br/>Magical Expertise: 5 (Curses 1)<br/>Magical Projection: 4 (Curses 1)<br/>Marksmanship: 3<br/>Persuasion: 3 (Intimidate 1)<br/>Reflexes: 3<br/>Status: 3<br/>Stealth: 3<br/>Will: 5<br/><strong><br/>Majors:</strong>History of Magic, Astronomy (2)<br/><strong>Minors: </strong>Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, Arithmancy (2)<br/><strong>Others:</strong>Muggle Studies, Ancient Runes,  Divination, Potions (2)<br/><br/><strong>Qualities: </strong>Gift of the Dark Lord, Death Eater<br/><strong>Drawbacks: </strong>Threatening<br/><br/>Intrigue Defense: 7<br/>Composure: 15<br/>Combat Defense: 4<br/>Health: 9<br/>Passive Resistance: 12/20<br/>Movement: 4 yards<br/>Sprint: 16 yards"

She treats her friends as if they were her family. She loves reading and doesn't mind being called a bookworm. She loves nature and being around animals. She earned the nickname ""Butterfly"" due to the fact that butterflies (among other animals) like to swarm around her.<br/><strong>Background:</strong>Miyako grew up in Japan, where the Yakuza was feared in the magical world as well as the muggle world. Their intentions were always bad, and they were renowned for working with dark magic. They were, and still are, a fearsome force in the wizarding world. They were never into world domination, as they had already pretty much secured the magical world by fear alone.<br/><br/>However, when Voldemort rose to power and destroyed Hogwarts, the Yakuza seized the opportunity to ally themselves with him and gain his favor. That's when Miya's parents quickly turned their backs on her, and offered her up to the Yakuza with the intent to be a part of their plan. The Yakuza accepted their ""offering"", and Miya's parents were considered highly respected from then on.<br/><br/><strong>Reason for Joining the Rebellion:</strong>Miya was betrayed by her family. A powerful pureblood family, who's ideals she did not follow. When Voldemort destroyed Hogwarts, and his rein was secured, Miya's family traded her to the Yakuza in order to join forces, and gain favor with them as well as Voldemort. They labeled her a ""blood traitor"", and Miya has harbored ill feelings towards her ""family"" ever since.<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>Cherry, unicorn hair core, standard length<br/><strong>Pet:</strong>Rainbow Lorikeet (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CYgdjGgu6Xk/UbrqoQ1s9JI/AAAAAAAADLM/65Y7Jebnsbo/s400/Rainbow-Lorikeet-Bird.jpg) named Sumi<br/><br/>Agility - 3 Balance 1B<br/>Athletics - 3<br/>Awareness - 5 Empathy 1B<br/>Cunning - 2<br/>Deception - 2<br/>Endurance - 3<br/>Fighting - 2<br/>Magic Expertise - 3 Charms 1B<br/>Magic Projection - 3 Charms 1B<br/>Marksmanship - 3 Rays 1B<br/>Persuasion - 3<br/>Reflexes - 4 Quickness 1B<br/>Status - 3<br/>Stealth - 3 Sneak 1B<br/>Will - 3<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Classes</strong></span><br/><strong>Majors:</strong><br/>Care of Magical Creatures, Divination - 4 CoMC 1B<br/><strong>Minors:</strong><br/>Herbology, Ancient Runes, Astronomy - 2<br/><strong>Others:</strong><br/>History of Magic, Muggle Studies, Arithmancy, Potions - 2<br/><br/><strong>Qualities:</strong>The Sight, Keen Senses<br/><strong>Drawbacks:</strong>Flaw - Will"

His location and status is now unknown.<br/><br/>May 1 1997 -<strong> Battle of Hogwarts:</strong>Around 10 PM, post curfew, Minerva McGonnagol spotted Severus Snape attempting to access the Room of Requirements (which she knew was a hide out for students rebelling against the Carrows and Snape). In an effort to defend her pupils, she attacked Snape and they held a duel. This drew the attention of the students in the Room as well as the Carrows and the other teachers. The Carrows alerted Voldemort while the teachers made an effort to move their very dangerous duel to another location. Neville and Ginny alerted the Weasley Twins and, by proxy, the Order of the battle that was coming through the coins from Dumbledore's Army. During the Duel, the students separated and alerted each of the houses of what was occurring, resulting in a mass evacuation of the Students. It's unknown exactly how the Slytherin House was alerted, but they were also evacuated. Voldemort didn't hesitate to attack the school, knowing that the students had no bargaining chip and he wanted his Horcrux safe. Those of the DA worked actively to protect students evacuating while the teachers and those of the Order who came held off the Death Eaters. Neville, Ginny and Draco were the last three students out of the castle before it was over run by Voldemort's forces. Official death tally hasn't been announced.<br/>"

I thought it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of ‘Fantastic Beasts’, realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt. As hard-core Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.<br/><br/>As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t dislodge. That is how I ended up pitching my own idea for a film to Warner Bros.<br/><br/>Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry’s gets underway.”"

Granted, I grew and learned very quickly, I didn't want to stay in that area. Partly I was limited by my own spelling issues. But I had a drive to do better and make myself better. I used RP as a enjoyable medium to learn to write. However, I do know the other side of it, not everybody is willing to improve or wants to. They think that little bit is enough.

Though normally, my posts are longer. However, I also adjust length and style slightly depending on who I'm playing with. I'm somewhat flexible with how I write, so long as I'm enjoying the story, I'm not terribly picky about how my partner writes as long as it makes sense.

A single paragraph, depending on quality of paragraph is fine. 2 paragraphs is amazing. It's when you get to 8-9 I start feeling over whelmed UNLESS it's the characters on their own doing other things and it's been previously discussed. I'll enjoy reading it. And if it's been previously discussed I'll know I'll have the time to respond to it. But when people write out a sex scene for me (Say that they're the dom and I'm playing the sub) that's a whole different story. Luckily that hasn't happened yet but regardless. I like to be able to respond and to be honest if they write that much I'm liable to say, ""I'm going to respond up to here and if your reactions have changed feel free to get rid of the part of the post up until that point and post again. If not, I'll continue writing."" But if that's what we've been writing. *shrugs*<br/><br/>Anything less than a paragraph I can feel... restricted in my response unless it's in rapid fire or a conversation where it makes since for shorter posts. I want descriptions of thing through that character's eyes. A dancer and an Artist and a Chemist and a Biologist see things very differently for examples and those parts are FUN to write for me.... >.<"

I'm the kind of person who can write 1500 words of my character literally doing nothing. Just sitting there thinking about life. Doesn't even say anything, or if they do,it's three words. I actually cut my actions and reactions short in order to give the other person(people) a chance to respond. I'm like y'all, a whole lot of that in a post can get in the way and leave me blindsided with ""how do I respond?"" But I'm also of the belief that long posts don't have to mean a overwhelm of action and/or dialogue to respond to. Depends on the person's style. I've actually had complaints because I do keep it minimum and let the other person respond. But in their case, they wanted a lot more action to respond to because not having much, left them with the same feeling y'all (and I) have when there's too much. For me, if I have a lot of action and dialogue to respond to, or even a bunch of characters at once, I can very easily get confuse and either miss something important or misunderstand it."

The reasoning that Rowling used for the death eaters knowing where Grimmuald Place was is because they knew Harry had inherited it from Sirius and it was between 11 and 13. There's also that everyone who was told about it became secret keepers and could reveal the location to whomever they pleased.<br/><br/>As such, how I would like to continue is that those who<em>haven't</em>been under the fidelius charm for the past few months do not know that the charm on Voldie's name is not powerful enough to bypass the fidelius charm. However, Draco (as he was working for him) and everyone not a student, knows that the fidelius charm is powerful enough not to reveal their location. :D"

The seed was certainly there that they might eventually. But he left it open even though he wanted them together from the beginning, because throwing them together would've been too drastic of a change for the female character. I appreciate a writer who can stop and leave it like that, being respectful of the character. But I suppose with the ""19 years later"" she need to have then with somebody and the seed was already there ans well laid for Ron and Hermione.<br/><br/>IDK, like I said, I don't hate it.

His parents and their companions were forced into effective exile when the umbral dragon they served was killed by a rival - if they returned, they would likely have been eaten or enslaved in turn by said rival. Instead, the fetchling group became a band of wandering merchants, eking out survival on the edges of society. Drosil demonstrated a knack for magic from an early age, and so his talent was cultivated by the sole surviving mage of the band, learning from a handful of prized tomes how to tap the realm of his ancestry and draw forth its power. When he had learned all the books had to teach him, he departed to seek his own fortunes, alone save the companionship of the umbral scorpion he had conjured and bound to himself."

She is tall, for a woman, has milky white skin and hair like spun gold. Her lean, lithe body is full of an understated power tightly under the constraints of her self discipline. Like a thundercloud about to burst, she carries.about herself am air of imminent violence and deadly purpose. It's a shame really, as her martial demeanor and stern countenance would be so pretty if she loosened up and smiled more.<br/>.<br/><strong>Bio:</strong>Igrane has yet to meet her father, she was.born to a.Shield maiden who only had vague memories of the passionate tryst she'd had on the battlefield with a startlingly powerful and beautiful man.<br/>.<br/>Her mother told her she saw her father in her eyes as her daughter's eyes Perez at her from over the edge of her shield as she trained her in the one art she knew anything about, the art of War Igrane took to it like a fish to water, she had a natural sense of how to read people and divine their intent from subtle shifts of stance and positioning before they launched an attack. It wasn't long before the pair went out marauding with their village's warriors and during a battle in high summer she taught Igrane her final lesson, how to die well. As a Valkyrie came to carry her mother's soul to the Odin hall she felt the Aesir's eyes linger on hers and thought she saw recognition in the Aesir's eyes. Igraine didn't know what to make of it, but knew she wanted more.attention from the celestial shield maidens.<br/>.<br/>With her final tie to the village cut, Igrane took to wandering the land as a free booting sellsword, picking her causes carefully, fighting always for the rights of the oppressed and to end the reign of tyrants. She found she had a gift.for breaking the will of others to fight and in dealing out a good death. She always saw ending a life as a sacred act as she was consigning spirits to their final rest. I didn't hurt that afterwards she fot the time to visit with her 'other family' who at first treated her as a curiosity but later took her measure and found her worthy of her exalted blood. They took to coaching her, teaching her the finer points of the dance of war and the play of death. In exchange, they asked for a favor or two from one more native to this plane then they were.<br/>.<br/>So Igrane's life hasn't been an easy one but she isn't alone, not really. She has.had many adventures and has grown from all of them. She dreams of the day when she has finally earned her wings and can join the ranks of Odin's celestial host."

She wears as little as is possible most of the time, revealing a lot of smooth-shaven (<em>yes, completely</em>), somewhat dark bronzy skin which on close inspection (and in the right lighting) has been finely tattooed (<em>yes, completely</em>) with an iridescent pattern like snakescales. It's the sort of detail which is obvious under the bright sun, but by candle or flickering torch-light, one might be unsure whether they really saw or not.<br/><br/>Her forearms and calves are wrapped with somewhat thick, colorful bands of braided silk and shed snakeskin, and if she knows she's going somewhere dangerous she will don a long skirt made from strips of heavy, shed scales from what must be a truly immense serpent. The strips (and the scales) are only a couple of inches across. Enough to soften a blow or turn a blade, but hardly enough to obstruct (whether in terms of mobility or visibility) her legs. More often than not she carries a large satchel (backpack) about with her, as well as a snake-carven staff and a few pouches which sway around her soft form on thongs.<br/><br/>She very probably has a pet snake of unusual size which isn't in any way a combatant (<em><strong>if that's okay</strong></em>).<br/><br/>Pythania is one of those wandering clerics who is affiliated with the temple in Swordhaven but spends a great deal of her time going out and caring for the needs of the faithful who are unfortunate enough not to be able to easily attend, or newcomers shy about attending the public festivities, or converting the heathen with her slippery, serpentinely-inspired contortions.<br/><br/>It isn't exactly a<em>job</em>job, but she is used to providing for herself (a priestess of the Snake Goddess rarely has trouble finding a warm place to sleep or a pleasant meal) and tends to accumulate trinkets from those of the faithful who appreciate her services. That doesn't mean the Temple can't call on her to go anywhere it wants her to, of course...<br/><br/>I'll note her spell(s) at the beginning of each day, but generally they will be cure wounds. Does she have to 'memorize' her cantrip as well?<br/><br/>Also, if we're worrying about spoken text color, I would like to choose green."

And so, following that logic, he began to make his way to the seediest tavern in the area with the intent of becoming severely drunk, and perhaps a little bruised afterwards as well."

The central capital of the Seven Kingdoms proved to be the easiest way to acclimate into Westeros culture, and hide in plain sight. Even though he had left with enough wealth to keep him out of the slums, he found they were the ones most welcoming and most in need. Few people would bother asking about his Faith when he was helping them overcome injuries and maladies. Claude would like to think he was helping make their lives better; whether it was through medicine or buying a round of ale, but in a large city like King's Landing, it may have just been a drop in the bucket. He was given nice clothes when he left the Monastery, but they proved ill fitting for travel. Already, his fine clothes were getting dirty and frayed from wear.<br/><br/>He had only been in King's Landing for a couple of weeks, not long enough to be able to ignore that smell that permeated through the lower parts of the city. It seemed to be better in doors, and Claude slipped into a tavern in an effort to clear his head from the stench at the same time as he addled it with alcohol. A few people recognized him, he had a face and a lilt to his voice that was hard to forget. Most of the people that spent any time sober around him were usually thankful for his presence in fixing whatever ailed them. He made his way to the bar proper to order a drink, generously tipping in the process.<br/><br/>"

The polite acknowledgment and smiles were pleasant enough to satisfy him. He took his seat and smiled up at the serving girl. He chuckled at the question and shrugged his slim shoulders, about to answer before Clegane makes his entrance. The initial shock of the door simply being unprepared for a man of The Bear's stature and strength got Claude's attention, but the rest of the crowd's reaction is what piqued Claude's curiosity. He caught the name, even if he wasn't too abreast of what was attached to the Lord's title. He finally looked back to the blanched wench, ""How about both?""

There were few men who could outwrestle him, and when he had smashed their faces and broken their teeth on bartops, he felt as though he were King Robert himself, and not just some minor noble. The look on his face seemed to say the same... until he noticed one person who didn't give him the attention he deserved from his name or reputation.<br/><br/>The man was almost as big as himself, and sipping own mug of ale, surreptitiously ignoring the nobleman.

One flirty blonde seemed quite attentive. She was quite pretty with some lovely cleavage showing. Not as much as Titanya was showing, but not everyone had been the apprentice to a wizard capable of certain... enhancements. There were also a few warriors one male and one female. Both looked deliciously rugged. Titanya liked it rough but the old wizard tended to be to gentle. Well except for that one time he had polymorphed himself into a minotaur first. Titanya walked gingerly and smiled broadly for at least a week after that. Speaking of smiles, the buxom blonde notice a small fellow with a sly grin on his face. Titanya had heard that certain parts were not in proportion to the rest of a halfling's body and wondered if it was true.<br/><br/>One man whose girth was not in question was Jim Dandy. All in Swordhaven had heard heard of his legendary cock. Titanya sighed a bit as she imagined what it would be like to experience such a mighty tool firsthand. Or what it would be like to get really kinky and feel Madame Gora's notorious tongue. So many possibilities...<br/><br/>""Behold!""<br/><br/>Titanya unsheathed one of her daggers and held it above her head. Casting a simple cantrip, she summoned tiny nude fairies that danced around the blade. Suddenly the dagger transformed into a black scaled snake, quite appropriate for the festival. The serpent slithered down Titanya's arm and slid into the deep cavern between her breasts. Then the snake turned back into a dagger, the blade clutched tightly between Titanya's tremendous teats. She removed the dagger with a flourish and bowed low."

She slowly licked  her lips in excitement as the snake slid down between those two large orbs on the woman’s chest. Talia was almost so caught up in staring at them that it took her a second to realize the snake had shifted back into a blade.<br/><br/>Talia smiled and took another step towards the woman. “That is very impressive beautiful. But what else can your magic do, or what could it do to others?” She asked with a slight sense of teasing and challenging in her voice. The thief was so focused on Titanya that she was not seeing any other familiar faces around her for now. But, even if she had her attention still would have been on the busty blonde.<br/>"

She used a conspiratorial tone as she lowered her voice and nodded at Talla. As she spoke there was an almost scarily wicked and alluringly lust look in the tall warrioress' eyes like the secret she could share was not for the faint of heart.<br/>.<br/>The two young men with her didn't seem to mind the fact that Drogna's attentions were focused elsewhere as they took it as an opportunity to touch and explore the solidly muscled body of the powerful lady. The one on her left side kissed his way down her neck and over her shoulder as the one on her right slid a hand down her thigh and then shifted it so it played under her armored skirt and teased her in a way that made her face flush and a gasp escape her lips. She chuckled and played her hands up the backs of the young men's necks, teasing them with her nails and making them shiver with delight against her. Her eyes grew bright with passion as she moaned sofly then gritted her teeth as she summoned up her self control and masteres her composure so she could say to the halfling, ""...but the man she waaaaahhhhhhnnntttssss..."" She got distracted when one of the boys drew her breast out from her armor and started nipping at it wickedly making her knees go a little weak. Luckily, the other boy wrapped an arm around her waist to hold her up as the hand he had between her thighs shifted and went upwards, making her eyes go wide and dreamy as she purred with delight.<br/>.<br/>""Ohhh... Has to be bold... and wicked... Like my lovely pair here..."" Drogna said huskily as her hips moved lewdly as she enjoyed all the attentions given to her by her ever eager lads. She saw the guildsman and watchman approach the babe with the bouncy bosoms but didn't intervene. It's not like Talla was in any danger as they paid her no mind. Still, as she writhed against the two pillar of nubile youthful manliness she kept an eye on things ... Just incase."

In the past, Noll had a fortuitous run with the White Roses, but generally thought of the guilds as bullies and was no longer a member.

I say that when you have been betrayed by those you trusted...revenge is the only thing that matters.""</strong></span></em><br/>-Streban Blackwood, Dread Necromancer<br/><br/>The premise of this game is fairly simple: In a typical medieval fantasy world setting a Necromancer who was formerly a member of a party of adventurers battling horrific demons that had every intention of enslaving the world and making it hell on earth, has brought you back from the dead. the heroes lost their epic battle against the lord of hell in the end, and while the others bargained away their souls to save themselves, ironically only the Necromancer refused to be bought, and his friends betrayed him and cast him as a villain while they themselves served the demon lord. Streban has decided to get payback and save the world, and to that end he has resurrected or located powerful individuals to help him. In exchange for having your life restored or being given something else you wanted badly you bargained away your soul and your free will to him, but that's not such a high price considering what he wants you to do - help him seek revenge on his former allies, the ones who killed you and betrayed him for power and personal gain.<br/><br/>I intend for this game to run with plenty of adventure and action - you'll spend as much time raping, pillaging and plundering the countryside in your master's name as you will<br/><br/>The Dungeon World gazetteer, complete with all rules necessary to play the game, can be found here: http://book.dwgazetteer.com/<strong>(Ignore the 'Buy Dungeon World' stuff in the middle of the page. All the necessary info is in the tabs at the top, cost-free.)</strong><br/><br/>For Character Generation we'll be using the<strong>Choose Stats</strong>method, with an additional +2 bonus to one stat of your choosing and two highlighted stats of your choosing. We will not be using bonds - instead, you will give me up to four but no less than two Drives for your character, three things that motivate them to keep on keepin' on. In addition give me at least a short paragraph about your character - who they are, what they want from Streban, and some history and background.<br/><br/>If you acquire them and run them by me you may also use any of the numerous alternate playbooks available on the internet, and if you need to customize a class playbook to better fit your concept let me know and we can do that quite easily. In a pinch, we'll design a whole new Playbook if we can't find anything that fits your concept, but more than likely if you ask I can help you find what you need.<br/><br/>Here's a good place to start looking for alternate playbooks if none of the standard ones tickle your fancy: http://nerdwerds.blogspot.com/2013/04/dungeon-world-resources.html<br/><br/>if you have any questions, please do ask. I'm happy to help make this an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I am a very accomodating GM - i want everyone to have fun. So if you have an idea for something that sounds cool, run it by me.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Regions of the Kingdom</strong></span><br/>Falshire Forest - A massive, dense forested region filled with danger. While they have always been reclusive, the elves who call this region home have become xenophobic and hostile since Shialee Darkleaf claimed the title of Warden and leadership over the elves. Since then very few people who entire Falshire Forest are ever seen alive again.<br/><br/>Whitewillow - A trading hub just off the Conqueror's Road that borders Falshire Forest to the west and Brightmarsh to the south, this small community has become the flashpoint for a conflict between the reviled necromancer Streban Blackwood and his former companions. The necromancer has turned Whitewillow into a necropolis filled with the resurrected townspeople, and now this city has become the chief stronghold of those who seek to overthrow the demon-corrupted rulers of Caede.<br/><br/>Brightmarsh - A boggy marsh perpetual lit by the wispy souls of the dead trapped there by some ancient magic, brightmarsh is home to the ferrymen, an order of arcanists commonly known as Necromancers. Spirits and undead creatures abound here, and it is rumored that somewhere within, the mythical Soul Well, the source of all souls in the world, can be found. Currently, Brightmarsh is occupied by demonic forces commanded by the corrupted necromancer Kray Blackwood.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>The Gods</strong></span><br/>In Caede, four gods are recognized and three of those gods are widely worshipped by the common people - The three gods of fate, benevolent deities who govern the lives and afterlives of mortals, and the fourth - Grom, the god of destruction, war and entropy, called upon only by the angry, desperate, and vengeful.<br/><br/>Asara - The Soulkeeper, goddess of both life and the dead, she watches over those who are alive and those who are dead, and takes pity on the undead, who walk the line between both.<br/>Torrin - The Lawbringer, god of law, light and rulership. He is also called the King of Kings, because it is said that all true rulers are blessed by him.<br/>Mishaka - The Silent one, the most mysterious of the gods. An ambiguously-gendered deity who oddly enough has love and knowledge as his/her portfolio.<br/>Grom - The Bloody, god of Darkness, War, Vengeance and Death (not of the dead). Noone will admit to worshipping Grom, and it is considered impolite at best to ask someone if they worship him, but every Caedian pays him homage in secret, dark places to avoid drawing his vengeful wrath. It is said that Grom is the most powerful deity, and that there used to be more gods in the past, but Grom killed them and took their powers for his own.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>The Saints</strong></span><br/><strong>Tarathiel, Father of The Forest</strong><br/><br/><em>""When you needed a light to guide you out from the darkness, I was the beacon that led you here. Now you need a place to call home. Fear not, my children. I will be that too.""</em><br/><br/>Legends say that the first elves to come to Caede were led by Tarathiel Oakenshire, a druid powerful enough that he weaved trees and earth together into great ships to carry his people across the sea. When they did arrive, however, they were in dire straits. The other races that occupied this land did not welcome the alien beings, and the worst of them, the orcs, preyed on the travel-weary elves for food and sport. The lands they hailed from were thick with forests, but Caede had naught but sparse trees and earth. They became nomads, traveling to flee from danger and to find a home.<br/><br/>The elves were on the verge of being wiped from existence when Tarathiel stepped forward once again. He ate the seed of an ancient tree from their homeland, and cast one final spell. Using the magic that druids use to become beasts, Tarathiel transformed into a tree. Massive and strong, with countless branches, it was perfect for the elves to build new homes upon. And within a single generation, a single tree would spawn a forest, thick and dark and full of dangers to anyone except the elves. This would eventually come to be known as Falshire Forest.<br/><br/>The first tree is still there, marking the heart of their forest kingdom, known throughout Caede as Yggdrasil. It's famous for never losing its leaves or color in any season and producing a sap that can cure most non-magical diseases.<br/><br/>There are other legends that speculate, even though Falshire has never shown the same explosive growth it did in its birth, it still slowly continues to spread, and will one day cover the entire world, marking the elves as rulers. Though this is debated even among elves themselves, and only the supremacists truly believe all that it implies.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>The Hit List</strong></span><br/>Master Ranger Shialee Darkleaf (Elf Ranger) - Warden of Falshire Forest<br/>High King Toma Medaen (Human paladin) - King of Caede<br/>Vannor Stonehammer (Dwarf Fighter) - Caede Grand Marshall, commander of the Siegebreakers<br/>Nidra Quickblade (Halfling Rogue) - Guildmaster of the Caede Merchants Guild (A thinly-veiled front for crooks and killers of all kinds)<br/>Queen Sindra Starsong (Human Bard) - Queen of Caede, Caede's primary diplomatic envoy<br/>Kray Blackwood (Human necromancer) - Brother of Streban and lord of brightmarsh.<br/><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Custom Content - Compendium Classes</strong></span><br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Soul Dragon Master</strong></span><br/>Dragon Minion<br/>You have gained control of a young dragon.

The two boys had been born and bred to serve the ancient order, though Kray exhibited a stronger affinity for the death arts then his more outgoing and sociable brother. When Toma Medaen and his companions arrived in Brightmarsh seeking the wisdom of their dead ancestors to guide the young novice necromancer fell in love with the dour elven ranger Shialee Darkleaf. When the party departed Brightmarsh, Streban accompanied them, and the rest is legend - the party of young heroes went on to single-handedly push back the abyssal infiltrators that stalked the land, and eventually took their crusade straight into the heart of the abyss itself to do battle with the corrupt demon king. Only the heroes themselves truly know what happened, but when all was said and done the heroes returned and proclaimed Streban a traitor who had turned on them at the last moment and nearly caused their defeat. It was years before the truth became apparent, as demons became more and more common with each passing day, and finally the day came when abyss-tainted soldiers and unholy monsters roamed the land openly raping, murdering and terrorizing the land with the blessings of the 'Heroes'.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Personality</strong></span><br/>Once friendly and personable despite his profession, Streban lives with a crippling sense of duty and inadequacy - he was never as talented as his twin, the woman he loved gave him over to suffer a fate worse than death at the hands of their enemies, and even his brother has bent knee to the demon king. He still has moments when his true nature shines through, but they have become few and far between as his entire existence has become consumed by the heavy self-imposed burden to free Caede and restore balance to his homeland, a mission that he will either succeed at or die trying.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Relationships</strong></span><br/>Alanna - The daughter of my former friend and chief betrayer, she she is not the brightest girl but I have nonetheless grown to love her...and fear for her. She is innocent and good-hearted, and neither of those are traits that lend themselves to surviving in this harsh world. A Princess through and through, she is far too good for the likes of me, and so when the time comes I will step aside for one worthy to be her king. I know my feelings for her are a weakness that my enemies might exploit, and so I must begin to distance myself to keep her safe, even if it means i'll forever be alone. After all, what is the happiness of one man when weighed against countless multitudes of souls that cry out for justice?<br/><br/>Dawn - I truly regret calling this brave and noble woman back from her eternal rest, and when this quest is ended I will see to it personally that she is given the award she justly deserves. Her gaze pierces into my very soul, and she has made no secret what she thinks of me.<br/><br/>Deanora - She and the princess are the only ones of the bunch to give me even the slightest scrap of trust, and I find this driven and intelligent woman to be so very alluring. Although we both practice the arcane arts, she walks the fiery path of the dragon, far from the lonely road that is the path of souls where I tread, though they say that all roads meet eventually...<br/><br/>The Druid - We have more in common than he believes, but he is misguided. How can you listen to only half the spirits and claim to know the ways of the natural world? After all, death is natural too.<br/><br/>Hazamir - Scars upon his visage and his soul, and a hatred for other races that makes even one such as I flinch away. The Manhunter is a living lesson to me - one should never allow happiness to be consumed by hate.<br/><br/>Sigurd - A simple man, as many dedicated to the arts of war are. He is not so unpredictable as he seems, and he is no mindless brute either."

He defends its borders from tainted creatures and kept a close eye on the humans that traversed their lands. Once the war against the Lord of Hell ended, however, this became a much more daunting task. Evil creatures grew more numerous, and humans grew more bold. One day, Hazamir came across a pair of humans slaying a unicorn; a terrible crime among elves and well-known as forbidden among humans. He moved to stop the humans from further desecrating its body, but he barely got a few words out of his mouth when the woman cutting into the unicorn attacked, slashing him across the face with a dagger. The pain was crippling, and he only survived due to his companion Sunshadow coming to his aid, screeching and savaging the human's face until they retreated before more elves arrived at the scene. Unfortunately, they managed to get away with the most prized piece of a unicorn; its horn.<br/><br/>When he was carried back to the village healer, he discovered that though the bleeding could be stopped, the scar was incurable; the dagger was cursed. Only a balm infused with the essence of the weapon that maimed him could cure his wounds. Until then, he would remain marred; a thick, black, jagged scar that ran up along the left side of his face where he was slashed, though by some miracle barely missing his eye.<br/><br/><em><strong>""Most weapons cut to the bone, Hazamir, but some... some cut to the soul.""</strong></em><br/><br/>This event triggered panic and fury throughout the dozen villages that made up the southern Elven empire, causing conflict in the ranks and argument over how they should respond. Such a heinous act had not been committed in their forest by Man in centuries, and tentative peace had reigned between them in that time. It was not until Master Ranger Darkleaf's ascent to Warden that their people reached consensus: The elves would protect their lands as they always had, but they would no longer tolerate the presence of Humans, Halflings or Dwarves. Entrance to the forest was forbidden to the lesser races, and leave of the forest was forbidden to the elves.<br/><br/><em><strong>""Every blade and bow will be needed.""</strong></em><br/><br/>After that day, Hazamir continued to do his duty protecting their borders, but he was never the same. He was looked at differently by his kin, and it made him bitter and withdrawn. He was deformed, but worse than that, he was cursed. Such foul magic made most Elvenfolk recoil by its mere proximity. Even his betrothed could no longer stand his presence, and soon left him for another. However, the change in policy toward the outside breathed new life into Hazamir. He focused his attention to the ever-encroaching humans that trespassed on their land and never again attempted to parley with one. If one were unfortunate enough to be a human on his patrol, death by arrow came swift and merciless. He soon found himself to be quite skilled in his new role, and even garnered a bit of infamy throughout neighboring human settlements as 'The Manhunter', but he was never satisfied. Time and time again, he begged leave of the forest to hunt the humans that slew the unicorn, but Warden Darkleaf's commands were absolute.<br/><br/>Hazamir often finds himself lingering on the forest's edge, staring out into the open lands of Caede, as if he might one day catch a glimpse of the woman that scarred him and changed his world.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Relationships</strong></span><br/><strong>Streban:</strong><em>The Necromancer has made promises to lead me to the woman that scarred me, help me take the cursed dagger from her cold, dead hands, and to not let my soul pass on until I do. I can't deny that this is what I want more than anything. Until I manage to lift this curse, any descendants of mine that inherit my soul also inherits the curse. And because of that, I will be forbidden from continuing my lineage. However, he expects me to swallow a tall tale. The rest of the party, I can believe traded their souls to the Demon King for power, but Shialee? She, like me, is a direct descendant of the first Elves that were driven from our homeland by the demons. We remember the pain and terror of that exodus. She would never sell her soul to demons. Then again, I sold my soul to a necromancer...</em><br/><br/><strong>Alanna:</strong><em>An insufferably cheerful girl. Apparently the daughter of the human king. It seems to me too great a risk and effort to bring such a well-known figure along with us when she can't even aid us in battle, but the Necromancer seems set on dragging her along. Perhaps he intends to use her against the king, but I hardly think a hostage would be valuable against a human in bed with demons.</em><br/><br/><strong>Deanora:</strong><em>The Necromancer's apprentice, and utterly devoted to him in the fight against the Human King. She's a fool to trust the man as much as she does. As far as we know, we're all being taken for a ride. But I won't waste my concern on the girl, her and her warrior-slave can keep themselves alive. She might be human, but there is a fire bubbling beneath the surface that I wouldn't put myself in the way of.</em><br/><br/><strong>Sigurd:</strong><em>A predictable warrior with seemingly no desire other than to serve, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Humans are at their best when they're predictable.</em><br/><br/><strong>Druid:</strong><em>Human he may be, but druids are to be respected. Their place on the margins of society sheds a negative light on them in the eyes of most, but only because most can't see how important their role actually is. The balance between nature and civilization must be kept, or true war will break out. The Elves know this, live by this. There was even a time where Druids were allowed pilgrimage to the First Tree, Yggdrasil, and drink its sap for insight and power. Humans and Dwarves think they are above such rules, however. If they knew how important these outcasts were to keeping them from oblivion, perhaps they'd revere the druids as much as we do. So when it comes to this human druid, I welcome his company with open arms. Even if he isn't very entertaining company.</em><br/><br/><strong>Dawn:</strong><em>A Human Paladin. Could there be anything more insufferable? With all the righteousness and ignorance that comes with it, she really is the prototypical example. She judges me for killing denizens of Whitewillow, but what were they doing in our woods to begin with? Their land is bountiful as it is. Thieves and hunters looking to murder magical creatures for their powerful components, that's who I killed. My justice is no different than hers, yet she'd never be able to see it that way. I'd kill her just for that accusing glare if I could.<br/><br/>And the worst part of it all? Her pale features and striking emerald eyes would make even Elven beauties rife with jealousy.</em>"

Like other girls her age she learned to master the domestic chores that would one day serve her well when some farmer's son came a courting and took her for his wife. It was a simple life, after her chores she was able to roam the countryside, searching for wild berries and pretty flowers. Had everything gone according to plan, she would have had lived a fulfilling life ringed by familial obligation and the hills that were the boundary of her world.<br/><br/>Her fate was changed the day High King Toma rode through the valley with his army and the infernal host of demons that flew above them like an evil cloud. Her father, brothers and uncles were killed by the infernal horde while she, her mother and her sisters were given to the demons as playthings to fuck, abuse and discard once broken in mind, body and soul. By all rights, she should have died... Or gone mad... Or given herself completely over to corruption and darkness but her soul's cry for powerful and vengience was heard by some Power beyond this plane and her body was suffused with mystic might. She blasted the demons nearest her with bolts of eldritch force and when the  moment presented itself, she was able to render herself invisible and run from the place of her defilement, promising her dead sisters and mother that they would be avenged.<br/><br/>Since then she sought to do the little things she could against the High King and his agents. No warrior, she worked with stealth and guile, using magic judiciously against targets that entered her sights. At one point, fearing an assassin was on her trail, she set a trap and bested the warrior she thought was sent to kill her, sparing his life in exchange for his oath of undying loyalty. She and Castor were able to mount a more effective campaign against the High King then she did alone and as their successes grew in number they attracted the attention of the Necromancer. His knowledge of their foe gave her cause to trust him and the deal he offered was too good to be passed up, especially by one who felt her heart had been destroyed by the High King when he destroyed all she loved, what price really, was a soul after all she'd endured?<br/><br/>Now Deanora serves as the Necromancer's apprentice, learning from him the subtleties of magic and waiting for the stars to align for the ritual promised to be enacted. The one that would bond her to the Dragon who would serve as her instrument of vengence and the weilder of the cleansing fire that would burn the demon hordes from this world. She had plans for this world, and they started with feeding the High King to her scaly companion."

The few remnants of Whitewillow's militia tried to rally to her, but beyond a lucky arrow here or an unwitting backstab there, they couldn't kill the highly trained, highly armored dwarven warriors. And thus fell quickly around the paladin, leaving her alone. But fight on she did, despite being outnumbered, despite the ferocity, heavy armor and near unnatural strength of these mighty dwarven warriors. Until she reached Vannor Stonehammer. The commander of the Siegebreakers, and responsible for the sacking of the town. And in single combat the two dueled, with the righteous fury of an avenging angel driving the proud dwarf back and forcing him on the defensive as the young woman somehow matched him blow for blow.<br/><br/>Then a cry of pain. Dawn stumbled, her offensive halted. A bolt, poisoned, lay in her back. She managed to turn to see the halfling rogue smirk before the pain forced her to crash into the snow on her knees. Vannor stepped forward to deal the killing blow, confident in his victory. And yet another twist to the plot occurred. The reviled Necromancer Streban Blackwood appeared amidst the burning buildings of Whitewillow and with but a gesture, brought back the dead, human and dwarf alike, to fight again. And so they did, rushing into the ranks of the Siegebreakers to engage them. With Vannor distracted, Dawn lifted her blade with the last vestiges of her strength and stabbed the dwarven commander in the eye, through the small slits of his stone helm through which he saw the the destruction he wrought. At least one eye would see no more. A roar of pain and rage and one crushing blow to the ribs later, Dawn Silverheart lay dying on the ground, her blood staining the white snow around her red. All she felt was an incredible sense of sadness and guilt. The people deserved not to die...and she had failed in protecting them. The only small comfort was that the people of Whitewillow lived on in some survivors who fled as they were bought time with the lives of others. She tried to blink back tears that fell across her face into the snow, as in her dying moments her senses were filled with the agony of a murdered people; she smelled naught but the smoke and death of Whitewillow, she heard naught but the screams and cries of the dying, and she saw naught but the dead of Whitewillow around her. And then blackness.<br/><br/>How long did it last? She did not know, but her eyes flickered open. She was still lying in the snow. But she felt different. Slowly she got to her feet, only to realize she was being watched by a man in tattered robes. Streban. Did...did he just bring her back as one of the undead? No. That wasn't it. A long conversation ensued...and the truth of High King Toma and his companions was made known to Dawn. Dawn eventually accepted the necromancer's offer. For the people of Whitewillow, whose souls powered her now.<br/><br/>Despite no longer being powered by her faith, Dawn retains her beliefs in Meif, the Tolhelmic Goddess of passion, love and sex. As a servant of Meif, Dawn is knowledgeable in (and indeed, enthusiastic about) the arts of pleasure, even as her role for her goddess has primarily been as a protector and peacekeeper. But she served as a fine ambassador to Meif for the people of Whitewillow, before the massacre. She is not very happy about Streban's choice to bring back the dead of Whitewillow and turning the settlement into his own private necropolis, but accepts it as necessary in the fight against the former heroes. She only hopes that she will leave them be after their fight is over. Dawn was born in the Monarchy of Tolhelm, a frost covered kingdom to the north of Caede over a mountain range, and that is why she worships a foreign (to the people of Caede) deity. <br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Meif, Tolhelm &amp; Tolhelmic Deities</strong></span><br/><br/>To the north of Caede, there lies the Monarchy of Tolhelm, a frozen, bleak kingdom that endures bitter cold and harsh winters. And yet there is warmth in that land, provided chiefly by the followers of Meif, the Tolhelmic Goddess of passion, love and sex. Compassion, beauty, fire and healing are also part of her portfolio. She is also known as Meif of the Burning Heart. Worship of Meif is very popular in Tolhelm, as where there is a lack of physical warmth due to the climate of the land, the people of Tolhelm make up for it in human warmth and are a jovial and oddly content people despite their tough environment. Meif is one of the four/five major deities (there are several others, considered minor deities) in Tolhelm's pantheon of gods, along with Boras of the Keen Sight/Koras of the Illusive Word, the schizophrenic god of courage and marksmanship (Boras) and also the god of magic and deceit (Koras) depending on which personality is dominant at any time, Melaga of the Frozen Touch, the harsh goddess of the winter, weather and the sea (also sister to Meif), and Torrin the Lawbringer, shared with the Caede pantheon. Meif is the most popular and most widely worshiped in Tolhelm, followed by the temperamental mistress of their land, Melaga.<br/><br/>Meif's symbol is a heart, typically in one of three colors; red, gold or silver, and most of her followers typically dress in one or more of the three colors, with red the most common. Clerics of Meif are both skilled healers and also skilled in the arts of pleasure, and the same applies to members of the Order of the Passionate Heart, a paladin order dedicated to the protection of Meif's churches and followers. By no means are they any less skilled in the arts of pleasure, even as their healing arts naturally pale in comparison to the clerics of Meif. Just as the clerics do, the paladins also engage in the spread of Meif's beliefs over to other lands, which include Caede. Meif is worshiped by most in Tolhelm, regardless of occupation or station in life, but she is especially popular with healers, prostitutes, bards and dancers. Also, due to her association with beauty, plenty of women in Tolhelm flock to worship her.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Relations</strong></span><br/><br/>Streban Blackwood - Dawn is bound to serve him, but that does not mean she has like it. She is not the slightest bit fond of him and his undead-raising ways. That said, he is the leader of their little rebellion against High King Tomas and so she does have some respect for the man. The moment he crosses the lines of evil that many necromancers do...she will lose all respect for him. <br/><br/>Deanora - Dawn met Deanora while having a meal alone (yes, she doesn't need to, but it's habitual, and she still likes the taste of food and drink, even if she doesn't need them to survive), as she did not get along well with those the necromancer chose to surround himself with. Deanora, though the necromancer's apprentice, was warm and welcoming to her, and the souls of Whitewillow did not see her as evil. Very quickly, the two struck up a friendship over the meal with their natural chemistry. Deanora is the only one still living among the 'dead' the Necromancer used as his servants, and Dawn has very much taken to her despite her apprentice status. There is much to Deanora she does not know yet, but perhaps time will reveal those to her. <br/><br/>Sigurd (Castor) - Slave to Deanora and a simple brute. He's not evil, but she knows not what he is beyond being a brute and a warrior. She mostly sees him as Deanora's servant and leaves it at that. Perhaps future actions will color her views, but for now, he is the least insufferable of the men around her.<br/><br/>Hazamir 'the Manhunter' - Murderer. Dawn refuses to speak even one word to the elf if she can help it. Were it not for their special circumstances, she would have cut him down where he stood. <br/></div></div>"

He is sarcastic and blunt, and rarely sugar-coats his words. His bluntly honest demeanour can rub people the wrong way sometimes, though if you ask him his opinion, you know you are getting what he honestly thinks. For such a large man, he never raises his voice and settles for dry, laconic statements to get his point across. He is not a violent man, though he is more than able to handle himself. He does not trust Streban or any of his companions yet, though he is slowly coming to rely on the fact that as long as they have use for him, he will not be betrayed. Besides...what are they going to do? Kill him again? he is naturally distrustful of everybody he meets, though he doesn't exactly know why.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/>The Necromancer deliberately sought the Druid out, and was in the middle of raising him from his unmarked grave in the forest when he and his party was set upon by Corrupted animals that had followed the party, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Streban had to rush the ritual or leave him behind, and the side effect of such rushing was that he was raised without most of his memories. He remembered the basic skills as a druid, remembered that he had wanted to maintain the balance and also remembered some basic images and snatches of sound from his past life, but beyond that...nothing. He doesn't even remember his own name, so only refers to himself as ""Druid,"" despite attempts to give him a more meaningful or ""fun"" name. He cannot remember his deal with Streban, but trusts that he agreed to be woken up only for a very good reason.<br/><br/><strong>Relationships:</strong><br/>- Streban: Streban is a Necromancer, and as such has an innate distrust of him. He doesn't know what Streban told him to convince him into agreeing to be raised, but he does know that it has to be convincing. Streban has given him no reason to distrust him thus far, but he shall be keeping an eye on him. He may not be able to disobey him, but he can be on guard for any betrayal.<br/><br/>- Deanora: Again, he distrusts her. She is the necromancers apprentice, and his spirit did not strike a deal with <em>her</em>. He will watch closely for any signs of foul play.<br/><br/>- Sigurd: A simple minded brute of a man, with no desire to do anything but kill. He is loud, brash and aggressive, and only seeks to fight. Easily led, perhaps, but he is a danger to himself and others. If Druid needs to cut him down to stop him getting out of control, he will do so. He does so dislike unpredictable things.<br/><br/>- Hazamir: he doesn't know much about the elf, except that he carries a great burden around on his shoulders. The Paladin seems to distrust him for some reason, but it is not one that Druid can discern. Still, Paladins seem to know inherently if somebody has committed a great crime, so perhaps caution around Hazamir would be wise. Who knows what his past holds? It makes no difference to Druid, but he would rather not be a victim of knowledge he does not possess.<br/><br/>- Dawn: Dawn is an interesting one. She is a Paladin...who allowed herself to be raised from the dead. A contradiction, from what he knows of paladins, but she probably had her reasons. Given the group that they are going after, perhaps she saw it as a necessary evil to wreak justice on the wicked? Whatever the case, she appears to still adhere to the Paladin code, making her pleasantly predictable. She is skilled, but Druid himself doesn't know if he is an evil man...so maybe the spirits she speaks to won't either. He would think that he wasn't evil, but then, you never know, do you? Regardless, he does not fear Dawn at the moment, and knows that if she had a problem with him, she would say it. One thing you can say about Paladins is that they are very predictable.<br/><br/><strong>Theme Music:</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">www.youtube.com/embed/actZumishxQ</div></div><br/></div></div>"

Like any princess, she was given the ability to be educated in all the things that are important to the royals...but most of it seemed to go over her head. Upon turning 16, she was to be married to the son of the demon king in an arranged marriage to fortify a treaty and covenant between the humans and demons. This plan would have went wonderfully for Toma, except she found the demon prince detestable. Alla was already in love with someone else, a general of her father's army. When her father found out, her nightmare began. Toma had her lover executed in the name of treason, and she was sent to the demon realms anyway to await her marriage. All her life she had heard whispers of her father's dislike for the necromancer, and so she knew she could answer her lover's death with no greater insult than to marry the necromancer instead. There was one problem with her plan however, Streban had no idea who she was. She ran away from the demon kingdom the night before her wedding, making a journey to find the necromancer her father so hated, and along the way changing her plans. She decided she would give him and offer he couldn't refuse, the service of a princess for him to bring her lover back to life.<br/><br/>Once she found Streban, she laid her plan out in every last detail, which even she admitted wasn't well thought out. In the end though, in exchange for him raising her lover Dylavian she would help him in anyway she could. Streban actually got the worst end of the deal. He raised the elf, and once the elf fully came to his senses he left Allana completely and ran off with a tavern wench. It left her absolutely devastated, and she stayed with Streben to escape the wrath of her father and that of the prince of demons who she was supposed to be betrothed to.<br/><br/>Personality: Allana is quite a number of things, she is most certainly ditsy but at the end of the day she is far from stupid. She is however, a bit odd by everyone's standards. She ""talks"" to birds, or rather she believes she does. She is always happy no matter what, and the gates of the depths could be crashing down upon her and she is still a little ray of sunshine. She always believes in the happier things, and believes that through all actions one can find peace and happiness. She is always searching for her one true love because her last one was less than true. She always will offer inspirational words and a happy smile when she thinks someone needs it, even if they simply just want her to go away and be set on fire."

cm<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 70 kg<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Maester Owell was born Owell Rolfson on the northern end of the isle Greenstone, off the coast of the Stormlands.  His father had been a carpenter, his mother a maid at the local inn in their small village.  When he was five, Owell's mother stabbed his father to death during an argument.  After she was hanged, a hedge knight brought Owell south to a sept in the town of Greenstone.  Here he resided for the next eleven years, earning his keep by cleaning the sept, collecting donations, repairing torn robes, and other minor duties.  In return, the septons fed and clothed him and, most importantly, taught him to read and write.  Inspired by a volume on the stars written by a long dead Maester, Owell left Greenstone at the age of 16 to join the Citadel.<br/><br/>His studies progressed quickly, and Owell forged his first link (bronze, for astronomy) when he was 18.  While he was ultimately interested in observing the stars and planets, Owell felt a need to earn the rank of Maester.  Without a chain of his own, he wondered, would anyone take his ideas seriously?  Over the next four years, Owell moved from one subject to another, forging links for ravenlore, lenscrafting, warcraft, healing, anatomy, alchemy, weatherlore, and history.  However, Owell grew bored before he could finish his chain, and returned to astronomical pursuits, three links short.<br/><br/>When he was 22, Owell began observing the motion of the stars, wondering if they moved from year to year.  The Archmaester of astronomy, Vaellyn, had stated that they did not, but Owell had recently learned of another observatory in Norvos that was twice as old as the one in Oldtown.  Perhaps they're measurements, contrasted with the Citadel's, could reveal the answer.  Curious, Owell stayed in Norvos for two years, poring over their observatory's precise records of star positions, and discovered that the stars had indeed drifted slightly over the centuries.  Triumphant, he returned to Oldtown and presented his evidence, inadvertently shaming the prideful Archmaester Vaellyn.  Out of spite, he granted Owell three additional bronze links and made him a full Maester.  Unaware that Vaellyn was only doing this to deny him access to an observatory, Owell happily accepted and was promptly forced to accept an assignment to Greyhold.<br/><br/>Although this would make his research much more difficult, Owell resolved to fulfill his duties as best he could.  He would not be a burden upon the Greystarks.  Shortly after arriving in 283 AL, Owell proved himself when he cured Erik Greystark of a persistent cough that had nearly killed the boy.  As a reward, Lord Lewys allowed Owell to convert part of the rookery into a makeshift observatory and granted him free reign to pursue his scholarly interests, so long as he always placed his duties as a Maester first.  Owell happily agreed, and has faithfully served House Greystark since.<br/><br/><strong>Family</strong>: Being a Maester, Owell forsook his family name when he forged his chain.  He is currently serving the House Greystark.<br/><br/><strong>Friends and Allies</strong>: Maesters Cristoff and Codwell, who share his fascination with telescopy and astronomy.  The three men frequently exchange their research, discoveries, and lengthy arguments via ravens.  In addition, Maester Owell's calm and friendly, albeit withdrawn, demeanor has earned him several friends amongst House Greystark, such as Lord Lewys' youngest daughter Elise, who frequently helps him in his makeshift observatory in the rookery.  While many look down their nose at a nobly born girl engaging in what are considered the pursuits of a Maester, he finds the intelligent and quick-minded Elise to be an invaluable assistant.<br/><strong>Rivals and Enemies</strong>: Being a quiet and gentle man, Maester Owell has made very few enemies.  However, an academic dispute in Oldtown pitted his evidence against the theories of the Archmaester Vaellyn, the stargazer known for his sharp tongue.  After years of study, he had demonstrated that the stars had moved from their locations in the sky over the past four hundred years, contradicting Vaellyn's theory that they were immobile.  Although the matter was not considered important by many members of the Citadel, Archmaester Vaellyn took it as a personal insult to his pride.  The issue escalated quickly and precipitated with Maester Owell being assigned to Greyhold to deny him access to the Citadel's observatory."

Lowell is more trim and lithe than hulking, packed quick muscles giving his torso a nice 'V' shape. A beard that goes down along his jaw line and frames mouth creates the illusion that he's older than he is, while the slightly unkempt nature of it makes him look of lower birth than he is. His hair is a dark brown, and his eyes are a bright blue, with a gold ring on the outside edge of the iris. <br/>Note: Has the 'Attractive' Quality. <br/><strong>Skin</strong>: Fair<br/><strong>Hair</strong>: Brown<br/><strong>Eye colour</strong>: Blue, with gold rings. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayser%E2%80%93Fleischer_ring)<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5'8""<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 140lbs<br/><strong>Background</strong>: <br/> - At five years old, Lowell's Mother, Lady Elyane Greystark of House Tulliso, was killed during Robert's Rebellion. <br/> - At eight years old, while accompanying his Father and Older Brother on a hunting trip, a combination of the cold and exposure to a toxic plant, made him sick. He was afflicted with blindness, fatigue, and seizures that should have killed him. It took him weeks to recover, but his physicians say he'll never be fully cured. His vision has been permanently weakened, visible by the golden rings around the iris of his eye.  It will only get worse as he ages, until he is totally blind. His Father sees the illness as a permanent mark of his weakness, even if Lowell should have died, and caused a rift between them. To this day, Lowell seems to be aloof and flighty when it comes to his Father; not seeming to let his Lord Father's opinion burden him. <br/> - At thirteen years old, the Citadel sent word to the House that the seasons were changing. A white raven brought the message, and on it's way back a poacher attempted to shoot the bird out of the sky. Lowell found the bird first, and after extorting a fee to stay silent about the hunter's attempt, he brought the raven home to help nurse it to health. The white raven made a full recovery, and Lowell fully expected the bird to return to the Citadel. The bird stayed with Lowell, and he has since named it 'Pearl.' <br/><strong>Family</strong>: Greystarks/Tullisons<br/><strong>Friends and allies</strong>:<br/> - Lady Maiev Greystark of House Reed, Lowell's Paternal Grandmother: Robert's Rebellion cost the Greystarks dearly. Lowell lost his Mother, but Maiev lost a husband, a daughter, and a daughter-in-law, at the end of having already lost so many others. Lowell was always on rocky terms with his Father, and most of the rest of the family saw him as the 'child of the second wife,' versus just being a child. The tragedy made Maiev cherish what family was still living, and Lowell embraced being accepted as a family member without context. As Maiev grew more unstable and mad, Lowell was willing to help keep her comfortable and give her company. He doesn't put much weight into her 'prophecy,' but she's seen through his attempts to placate her too many times for him to even play along. <br/> - Tytos Greenfinger, lowborn Alchemist: Tytos owns a small alchemy shop in the seedier parts of town. He used his skills mostly to brew intoxicants, hallucinogens, and snake-oil. Lowell saw his skill, and his dedication as to not get drunk off his own stash, and invested in Tytos' shop. Over the years, his equipment has become more advanced and his clientele has become larger. While he still specializes in tonics to help and haze; Tytos' influence has also got him into creating poisons of a more directly harmful nature. This gives Lowell access to poisons, as well as giving him an ear to the ground on who else is buying them. <br/><strong>Rivals and enemies</strong>: <br/> - In Process: A gay noble from an enemy house. Lowell and him occasionally have sex, as there isn't many other options for secret gays. The sex is a power struggle, and the two constantly try to gain something to use against the other to justify 'sleeping with the enemy;' though any real success would cost them being able to meet up again... House to be determined. <br/><strong>ONs and OFFs</strong>: Same as Player, link in signature gives more details.

He moves with an noticeable amount of grace (even in his robes) and is always light on his feet, and while he's usually jovial and easy going there's a hint of danger behind it all.<br/><br/>His clothing varies between high end noble garb with padded armors to ornate blood red robes of R'hllor's priesthood.<br/><br/>He keeps his head shaved smooth with a manicured short beard to accentuate his jawline.

As such, and after one of the twins that came nearly 10 years before him died during childbirth, his childhood was fairly pampered. With 2 elder brothers it was obvious that Tybolt would never inherit unless true tragedy struck. Unfortunately one of his older brothers died only a couple years after Tybolt's birth. That still left him with sister older by 5 years and his brother Lewys older by 11.<br/><br/>Robert's Rebellion was devastating. Tybolt lost his farther, sister and sister-inlaw, along with numerous other friends and family as the war raged. Through it all Tybolt felt largely useless, never having given much effort towards warcraft or swordplay due to his position and pampering in the family. His only defining moment during the war was that, purely through luck, he managed to slay Randall Wisent's firstborn son. After the dust settled, Tybolt helped to make sure their House was in order and then promptly left, wandering for some time before making his way to Braavos and the Free Cities to both clear his mind and to remain safe from revenge.<br/><br/>He spent the last decade in the Free Cities, learning the language and culture. It was there where he learned to fight, using his natural grace and speed, something that called to him far more than the styles used back home. It was also there that he found a new religion, that of R'hllor, Lightbringer. The truths espoused by R'hllor's priests seem to hit far closer to home than the styles back in the North or other parts of the 7 kingdoms, and Tybolt soon found himself drawn into their studies, eventually beginning the process of entering the order himself.<br/><br/>But now, his family has called.

He also has a fierceness about him that often makes people look past his features, which are quite handsome when people take the time. His hair is a dark brown, which causes a stark contrast as his eyes are icy blue flecked with gold. Life in the North, even the life of a noble is hard. And as such he looks like he's lived a hard life. <br/>Skin: Slightly Tanned<br/>Hair: Brown<br/>Eye colour: Blue w/ Gold Flecks<br/>Height: 6'3<br/>Weight: 240lbs<br/>Background: Born first of Lewys' children, Leynir was named Heir to House Greystark and raised as is proper. However, being raised during an open rebellion isn't the greatest upbringing for a child. Through the studying and schooling and training with sword, spear, and bow...there was the constant threat of danger around every corner. Leynir's mother, Lady Ceridwen died giving birth to him, and while it pained his father, he loved his son regardless. His father remarried and that union bore him a younger brother, Lowell; as well as giving him a much needed mother figure in Lady Elayne. Her death during the Rebellion hurt him a great deal. Even though she lacked blood relation, she had been his mother. As if that wasn't bad enough, his grandfather Arthur, and his Aunt Arwyn both lost their lives in the war as well. In a few short years The Greystark's had lost many family members, which left the remaining broken and disjointed. After all was said and done, his uncle Tybolt left and Lewys took control of the House. He continued to raise Leynir, instilling in him the importance of being the Heir, the importance of doing what's best for the family. Putting much pressure on his son, but coming from a good place. Now he's set to marry Lady Tullison, a union which will no doubt help his family.<br/>Family: <br/>Lewys Greystark - Father<br/>Tybolt Greystark - Uncle<br/>Maiev Greystark - Paternal Grandmother<br/>Lowell Greystark - Little Brother<br/>Erik &amp; Elise Greystark - Twin Younger Siblings<br/><br/>Friends and allies: <br/>Morlun Destris - A sellsword from the Iron Isles who saved Leynir's life one night when a few cutthroats tried to kill him during a drunken piss outside a pub. They've been friends ever since and Morlun is gainfully employed as Leynir's bodyguard. He doesn't need one, but people <em>thinking</em> he needs one means they think he's less of a threat. His friendship means that Leynir has access to less than upstanding men and women who know how to keep their mouths shut for the right amount of coin and favor.<br/><br/>(http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/cb2ffad15ad22f14bf8e8a9583383733/http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab303/WhiteWolfAsh/BlackWolf.jpg)<br/>Longtooth - As a boy, Leynir was playing in the woods, one of the few times he wasn't under constant guard or studying this and that. He got farther than he intended though and wound up lost. He was lost for hours, crying and stumbling around through tears. Until he heard something else crying. A baby wolf from the sounds of it. He found the tiny creature abandoned in a den that had been full not too long ago. <br/><br/>He figured the baby had been a runt or some other reason why his mother didn't want him. Well Leynir wanted him. He'd always been a kind hearted little boy, and the Northmen were known for their love of wolves. A wolf was his family's banner for Old God's sake. He picked the pup up and cuddled him close, then found his way home with new determination. His father while apprehensive at first realized that the wolf would be good at helping his son learn responsibility, and be a powerful symbol and guard as well. Leynir was tasked with feeding him, training him, loving him. No one else was allowed to help, and as such Longtooth bonded to his master. They are inseparable now, and  through care, training and a diet most people would kill for, Longtooth has become a large and terrifying pitch black beast of a creature that is fiercely loyal.<br/><br/>More to come<br/><br/>Rivals and enemies: In progress<br/>ONs and OFFs: Similar to mine.

With her father's preferential treatment came his drunken laments over the fact that she'd been born a girl and not a boy.

Edric and Alyssin are skilled archers and learned to bond over this activity. It's also thank to Archery that Alyssin built a closer and stronger bond with the males in her family rather than with her mother, who has always resented the fact that she gets along better with Aeron than his own wife.

Born in 233 AL. She comes from House Reed from the swamps of the Neck. A red-haired elderly woman with almost unnaturally green eyes. Piously devoted to the Old Gods. She has endured more deaths in her family than most people ever have to. Mentally unstable. She claims her dreams show her the future. Shortly after the Rebellion, she was kidnapped by a wildling ride and taken beyond the Wall where she had to live for almost two months as a slave. She was rescued by her son, lord Greystark and the Night's Watch. She claims that the only time when she can feel calmness is in the presence of the weirwood heart tree, or at least its sampling she had planted in her chambers.<br/><br/><strong>Edric Greystark</strong><br/>Elder brother of the current lord Greystark. Born in 250 AL, died in 263 AL. The firstborn son of lord Arthur and lady Maiev. When he was only 13 years old, he was bitten by a wolf during a hunt.

Born in 253 AL. Twin brother of Lewyn Greystark. The secondborn son of lord Arthur and lady Maiev, but the eldest living one. He married the love of his life, lady Ceridwen Ashwood, in 271 AL, but she died soon after, giving birth to their firstborn son, Leynir. Lewys remarried in 276 AL, taking young Elyane Tullison as his wife. Their marriage was not out of love like Lewys' first one, but it was a happy one still. Widowed again in 282 AL. A brown-haired man with a truly Northerner look. Hardy and tough, no disease has ever managed to afflict his body. Believer of the Old Gods, but not as pious as his mother. He doesn't believe in her prophecies or any other talks of the supernatural. Honour-bound, he hates deception and whisperers. He tries to treat all his children with love they deserve, but he favours his heir and his youngest son, leaving his daughter's education in hands of septa Rosine and maester Owell. He seems to always be disappointed with Lowell, no matter what he does. <br/><br/><strong>Lady Ceridwen Greystark of House Ashwood</strong><br/>The first wife of the current lord Greystark. Born in 254 AL, died in 273 AL, giving birth to her son, Leynir. It is said that she was a woman of great, wild beauty and raw passions. Her marriage with Lewys was full of love and passion.<br/><br/><strong>Lady Elyane Greystark of House Tullison</strong><br/>The second wife of the current lord Greystark. Born in 259 AL, killed in 282 AL during Robert's Rebellion. She married lord Lewys Greystark in 276 AL and bore him three children: son Lowell and twins Elise and Erik. She was a delicate, friendly woman who was said to always have a kind word for everyone. Even though she was not Leynir's mother, she did her best to fill that role in his life. <br/><br/><strong>Lewyn Greystark</strong><br/>Twin brother of the current lord Greystark.

Born in 279 AL. Twin sister of Erik Greystark. As a young girl, Elise was naturally curious and excitable.  She possessed a love for the outdoors, alongside a predisposition to engaging in unladylike activities, such as scuffing her knees, falling out of trees, and whacking her twin brother Erik with branches in mock duels.  As she grew, Elise reluctantly demurred to the cultural and societal norms of Westeros.  By her thirteenth birthday, Elise was engaged in the expected activities of a nobly born girl, from stitching to memorizing family lineages.  While appearing to be the model example of a young woman, she had not lost her curiosity, and often pursued scholarly interests in private.  Elise proved to be very intelligent, and she hoped to one day become the first female Maester, although she readily acknowledged how unlikely such a feat would be.  Shortly after Maester Owell arrived at Greyhold, Elise realized he was far more accepting of her curiosity than the previous Maester, and began to follow him around, prying him with questions.  Seeing potential in her, Maester Owell allowed her to help him in his makeshift observatory.  Such a relationship has been the subject of many hushed whispers in the dark corners of Greyhold, something Elise seems oblivious of.<br/><br/>(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/ErikGreystark_zps137ca4d0.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Erik Greystark</strong><br/>The third son of the current lord Greystark. 15 years old. Born in 279 AL. Twin brother of Elise Greystark. Where Elise is endlessly inquisitive and content to read all day, Erik is loud and ambitious, your typical nobly born son dreaming of winning fame on the battlefield.  He has been trained by the Master-at-Arms, and possesses moderate skill with a sword, although he is an excellent jouster.  Erik has been growing increasingly restless of late.  He recently started a fight with a stableboy (which he won), and appears to be a bit too eager to hack at his friends with a wooden sword during training.  Ultimately, Erik cares not about politics or issues of inheritance, but instead wants to prove himself as a great warrior.  He dreams of joining a tourney as a masked knight and unhorsing the great champions, ripping the fabric off his shield to reveal the device of House Greystark.  He looks up to Lord Lewys a great deal, and has begun to despise Maester Owell, who he sees as a doddering fool corrupting his twin sister with dusty books and dented telescopes.<br/><br/><strong>Retainers:</strong><br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li type=""disc"">Steward Deryl</li><li type=""disc"">Maester Owell</li><li type=""disc"">Septa Rosine</li><li type=""disc"">Servant boy Lan</li><li type=""disc"">Servant girl Shella</li></ul></div></div>"

Despite her own status being third daughter from Xorlarrin house in here on Arach-Tinilith she was dressed equally with rest of acolytes. As she is not yet graduate and thus not allowed wear whatever clothes she wishes during attending classes. She does remember how her clothes had been told to be burned when she had arrived academy, as symbol leaving her former life behind as embracing life as acolyte.<br/><br/>When Mistress Haelra Kenafin demanded that she summons a fiendish spider, she immediately knew she was tested. She knew her fellow acolytes could make second circle summonings and those did cover able summon fiendish spiders, but you would need have prepared said spell to have any use from it.<br/><br/>Also simply beseech Lolth for such miracle asks specific precise phrases in prayer followed with deep concentration, she would be confident in her ability recite the correct ritual but her concentration was not necessary the most best one. She could always try do the task....but shame of the failure is something what Ameesril pride would not allow herself to endure. So Mistress Haelra Kenafin wanted test extend of Lolth's favor from Ameesril? Well, she can give a show that she<em>does</em>have Lolth's favor....<br/><br/>Ameesril would close her eyes and start her incantation;<strong>""Mother of spiders, grant me boon service of your children....""</strong><br/><br/>Ameesril then opened her eyes and focused upon area front of Mistress Haelra Kenafin and finishes;<strong>""...thus manifest them before me and devour my enemies.""</strong>Her incantation was no where in clerical scriptures nor any in clerical summonings, only closest what it could become in effect is when wizards would chant arcane formula to conjure it up but their magic is arcane not divine. But even so they would not use the words what Ameesril would use to conjure it up; this is entirely personal invocation how she manifests her power which was granted as favor from Lolth. Ameesril had avoided make any public displays of her ability, to keep secrets of her power to herself as it's limited but she feels pressured to make this revelation of her gift with pact from Lolth. More so the earlier years several acolytes had died on swarm of spiders, most mistresses label them as will of Lolth to waning away the weakest among them when in truth it had been Ameesril's own will and desire eliminate her rivals and those who had crossed her.<br/><br/>So once finishing incantation there appeared firstly single red dot, then another and soon there was swirling mass of red in floor....which soon keen eyed drow could notice was not singular mass...but mass made from hundreds, thousands, of tiny red spiders swarming over each other and clattering their tiny poisonous fangs searching for prey to devour upon! They covered ten feet radius and Ameesril had no control over the swarm; direction nor which spiders would seek to devour upon! Both Ameesril and Mistress Haelra Kenafin were in equal distance from the swarm (and so were couple other acolytes near Ameesril). Ameesril was not worried though; as swarm would immediately cease and disperse once she ceases concentrating on them and swarm knew in instinctive level that she had conjured them, so they would not pick her first among the targets available anyways.<br/><br/>OOC: Summon Swarm (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Summon_Swarm) spell description says the summoner has no control over which spiders would swarm and attempt kill upon (warlock invocation difference is that swarm has duration equal to concentration, but they function like normal spider swarm (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Spider_Swarm) otherwise so rebuking spiders would send them away. However you need to have Master of Spiders cleric ACF or Spider Domain to able rebuke spiders.<br/><br/>Now GM can decide will spiders attempt swarm mistress or one two acolytes besides Ameesril and will mistress call on Ameesril ceasing her concentration on her warlock power (or let spiders devour acolyte who cannot rebuke even 2 HD swarm of spiders to run away, or attempt take over the control of the swarm and thus Ameesril cease her concentration before acolyte can direct spiders do any harm on Ameesril).<br/><hr/><br/><div class=""floatright""><strong>Taleeryn Symryvvin</strong> (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=848207)<br/>(http://img1.liveinternet.ru/images/attach/c/7/96/218/96218253_88b45ae2952d.jpg)</div>Taleeryn from house Symryvvin watched the newest patch of students climb the stairs towards Tier Breche, males and females, going to their designated academies.

We do not whole day tarry along to assign your dorms and start your study schedules!"" A oval emerald which appeared as if glued on his forehead crackled in faint green energy as he observed the students approach and see what sort people he will be educating the next ten years. Once gathered everyone who are meant to come to melee magether he coils whip around his waist and opens a scroll and starts list names; ""Is EtheIzz'Min present?"" Taleeryn would go down the list and draw line over the name if someone is absent. Those missing will be hunted down and severely punished although such event is very rare, Menzoberranza's law is absolute and everyone, even nobles, had to obey it. So everything starts in shouting names up in stairs and once all are accounted for they are led in to the academy and assigned dorms and their dorm mates.

His eyes stung, and he rubbed them a little bit, deliberately blinking a few times to try and get the pain to settle down. Rather than say anything though, Haelen simply settle back into his seat, sighing and not bothering to even look at Jevan. Haelen didn't bother with Evocation. It was too easy to kill yourself with a fireball, or to destroy something of value that your targets may have. An infantile show of force didn't impress him. Especially since Jevan hadn't even cast the spell himself. He had used a wand. Haelen could probably take a wand of fireball to Melee-Magthere and find at least four or five dozen students capable of using it to the exact same effect as Jevan had. He wasn't impressed. His eyes stung, and certainly the fireball could have killed someone had Jevan not placed it away from the students, but Haelen still wasn't impressed. Sure, if all you wanted to do was blindly destroy everything in an area, then evocation was perfectly adequate. But what would an evoker with a wand of fireballs do if he were being attacked by a summoned fire elemental, or a pack of scorpions the size of the goblin slaves? When they were upon you, fireball was worse that useless. It would kill you as well.<br/><br/>The temptation to speak up that the use of a wand of fireballs wasn't limited to an evoker was great, but Haelen held his tongue. Jevan hardly seemed sensible enough to accept observation that didn't make him look smarter. Not that Haelen cared about the<em>Master's</em>feelings, but he did rather prefer not being set of fire. What a primitive, mundane way to die.<br/><br/>With that in mind, Haelen looked around the room at the other students, wondering if any of them actually were impressed by the use of a wand. If so, they were probably incompetent. Grinning a little bit, Haelen finally returned his attention to<em>Master</em>Jevan, ready to go back to not caring at all what the man had to say. For his own purposes, Haelen had no use for evocation. He could summon creatures to fight and to be struck by enemies for him, and he was quite practiced at it. His own summons would be stronger than most of his fellow students. Of course, if that didn't work, he could just use an invisibility spell to retreat and plan a better method of dealing with his enemies another time. Haelen preferred well crafted plans and strategies over sheer force. If your enemies get close to you, and the only spell you have left is a fireball, you're in trouble. If you have invisibility, or teleportation, or a powerful summon, then you can still get away. You wont burn yourself into ashes. It was better that way.<br/><br/>So Haelen sat, ready to 'learn' from<em>Master</em>Jevan. But Haelen wasn't learning how to cast evocation spells, though that may have been Jevan's intended teachings. No, Haelen was learning how to deal with an evoker, should he ever find himself in a duel with one. He was learning how to avoid the spells they used, and how to, eventually, get passed those spells to kill them. It was just as good a lesson, if not better."

Still, she would show that her own house, Duskryn, would be the one who recruit ended at the top of the year. If only to rub it in her mother's face. She could still hear the rasping voice of the too-old woman even younger than the Matron Mother telling her how she was nothing, could amount to nothing, with her lack of potential in the clerical arts. If one could not even hear the whispers of the spider, as she called it, how could one amount to anything? She had wished that her only daughter, Alonia of house Duskryn, had died stillborn or had gotten in some accident before they had learned the terrible truth, that she was unable to hear Lolth or act as Her agent in the world.<br/><br/>She would show them--show them all, that she was far from worthless. That even without the whispers of the spider in her ears, she could still be among the deadliest of blades to emerge from Melee-Magthere, even more dangerous than any of the males that dared show their faces to her. She could hear their wondering mutters at what females were doing here instead of Arach-Tinilith, and the words filled her with rage that threatened to consume her sanity--but no. She would wait, and unleash that anger in its right time--right in the back of some unsuspecting student, or instructor if one angered her enough. As an oddity, she knew that she was an easy focus for other drow looking to bring someone else down in order to feel stronger, but she would demonstrate her own prowess. They should just feel sad for the first one to challenge her--she would have to make an example of them. With that thought in her mind and a faint smile on her lips she waited for her own name to be called from the registry."

""Well, if he's been sleeping in class, he obviously feels that's he's beyond the need for the current lesson,"" Haelen reasoned, turning his gaze down to the student who was outlined in purple faerie fire, totally ignoring the wounded male's current state. ""I would suggest that you do use him to demonstrate something a bit more advanced, so that he can feel like the lesson is appropriate to his level of mastery,"" Haelen added. This could be amusing. Haelen's suggestion was simply that the student thought he was beyond fireballs, and therefore should be taught something more powerful... by having the spell used on him. Haelen tilted his head then, looking from the fallen student to Jevan and then back again. ""Although, if you don't think he's worth your time, you could always just give him to the Priestesses at Arach-Tinilith,"" he said.

The boy sat alone, which was fine by him. Word had never been disseminated about the house to which he belonged and as such no one wanted to be associated with him. There was no gain in it for them, unless they could use him as a cat's-paw and that wasn't about to happen. He was one of the smartest, if not the smartest. He was one of the more powerful invokers within the school, and what's more is he had practiced with meticulous scrutiny how to specifically affect his kin. His name, or at least the affectation he had chosen on his entry into the school meant ""demon son"" or ""male demon child"", and thus far no one had any reason to doubt this nomen. Xullim, once having regained the full scope of his sight, glanced at the flaming student and then at the haughty Haelan.<br/><br/>He considered briefly giving Haelan that certain sparkle, but thought the better of it. One part of being left alone was not making yourself a target, like the student now the center of attention. The other part was not making particular enemies. Like hyenas, the students of the school targeted the weak. They would ridicule this student for weeks and if he survived, which was doubtful, he would be left for a new and more inviting target. Only with his strict adherence to the code of sycophancy to females and ruthless threats to males. The fact that for the most part he was able to deliver on these threats and similarly nearly untouchable made things all the more mysterious regarding his heritage and his house. Wands were such easy tools, Master Jevan should have known this wouldn't hold Xullim's interest as much as a lot of others. Wands could be lied to, manipulated, and were simply tools in the hands of a master such as Jevan or even Xullim. The rest of it was just theatrics, and what was that gaining them?"

Haelen had certainly not expected the archmage to show up and deal with the disgraced student, and it appeared that Master Jevan hadn't been prepared either. There was something else even more amusing to Haelen though. Jevan had started out trying to teach a reason to not 'turn your back on an evoker', but that hardly seemed relevant now. Haelen read a great deal about spells in his free time. Even if they were beyond his current ability to cast, it still paid to know what he was dealing with. The spell that Gromph Baerne had cast was easily identifiable as 'disintegrate'. It was certainly beyond a fireball in both difficulty and, at least against a single target, killing potential. But there was a problem. Jevan was an evoker. Disintegrate was a transmutation spell. To Haelen's mid at least, the archmage had just used a different school to show up both the evoker and evocation magics in front of the entire class. Not that it wasn't appreciated by Haelen. He had always wanted to see the effects of a disintegrate spell when cast upon a person, and now he had. It was quite impressive.<br/><br/>Haelen was decided. When he became powerful enough to cast it, he would make a point of learning disintegrate. It was so elegant in its simplicity, and it was much more controlled than an explosion of a fireball. You weren't going to hit yourself by mistake... unless you were completely incompetent of course. That, and when targeting a creature, a disintegrate spell wouldn't destroy any useful or valuable items. Haelen was still smiling widely. So much better than a fireball.<br/><br/>Then Master Jevan spoke up and told them it was time for them to go and prepare for their next lesson. Haelen stood up and walked out of the room, finding a place to sit and then opening his spell book. He already had prepared spells for the day, but that wasn't the point. Haelen simply liked to read over the spells. Seeing the magic laid out before him, reading through it. It was something of a hobby. Besides, a Wizard's spell book was possibly - or rather, likely -  their most valuable possession. Granted, Haelen's wasn't terribly grand in its contents. Not yet. But one of the young wizard's ambitions was to have an entire library of his own spell books one day. Perhaps even books containing evocation and enchantment spells. Not because he would cast them. Simply to have to spells on hand. Sweeping, all encompassing knowledge of the arcane arts. The thought made Haelen smile."

""Like what you see...?"" she asked, as she could feel the too-cold fingers against her hot skin that had been insulated against the air by her armor. She pouted a little as she saw her falchion, daggers, scimitar, and shield disappear into the cabinet where they would be kept safe until it was time to retrieve it, but she was confident that even without them she could turn even a simple spoon into a fearsome weapon if needed.<br/><br/>A tiny, malicious giggle escaped her lips as the arms-master finished his inspection of her, and she clothed herself once more slowly, letting the men in the room enjoy the show, her flexible body stretching as she donned garb that matched most of what the other recruits wore--though the hills and valleys that marked her body were different from that of the men, and marked her starkly as an outsider. She caught the glances of some of the others, and her grin widened. Mmmm, she would have fun this year, one way or another. The only two that truly caught her eye, as she had others, were the other female and some sort of half-drow abomination. She wondered how the twisted being had yet to have been killed--its house must be ashamed of it, for if it had come from some common union, it would have already been surely killed. The other girl though--for that was what they were in the eyes of drow society, barely 30 or so if they were starting their term at Melee-Magthere now--was a potential rival, and worse, someone who could steal attention away from Alonia herself. Perhaps she just might wake up with a broken neck, how sad! Poor girl!<br/><br/>After they had been led to the oval classroom, Alonia took her seat towards the back, unobtrusive and silent. First observe, then go in for the kill. It had to be sudden and swift--and while others might be allowed to know of her distaste for another, they could not be near when she struck. No, it would not be here that her attack would take place--against the girl or any other. For now she must but observe, and so she did. She listened with only half of her attention to the master drone on and on about things that had happened long ago, and when the other girl responded she noticed the snickers that arose when the master responded, but her attention was elsewhere. She kept her eyes roving, keeping just enough of her attention to respond should Master Hatch'net turn to her, but mostly taking in the different faces with whom she'd be with, and deciding who might need to become a rival for the short-term... and who needed to take a permanent leave of absence from the academy."

A dead being could only be used with the will of a necromancer, never again of his own volition, and the particular method of this body's destruction would not allow anything short of a true resurrection to bring it to the realm of the living again.<br/><br/>This was not to say he felt pity, anyone dumb enough to attract the attention of his betters without a plan in place to take them out was unwise. That was why Xullim spoke when spoken to and rarely outside that. As class was dismissed, he left the room swiftly while allowing his back at all times to be far from the knives of others. He had to acquire some additional parchment and some special materials in the event another such lesson was upon them. It was always a possibility that he'd have to make a swift exit, and he was never without the means to do so. It was a fool who thought that simply because you were not a traditional spellcaster that you lacked the versatility or mastery of the art that others had. It was simply that you chose to exercise one facet of it, rather than let all avenues be the path to your destruction."

Already a plan was beginning to hatch to put the abomination in its place.<em>Would serve him right,</em>she thought to herself smugly as her scowl turned into the rictus of a grin before she quickly hid it. She would show him exactly who was at the top of the ""food chain"" here, and it would also serve as a lesson to the rest of the scum sitting there in their seats. Yes...

""It's obvious--and connected to why we forsook the surface."" A wave of her hand, and four tiny globes of light appeared before zooming towards the floored elf, slowly circling his head in an almost mocking manner. ""Light. All our kind are susceptible to the dreaded thing. A blast of sharp light conjured by a wizard or even worse, the light of the sun is a terrible burden to bear.

Well, whatever the trouble was, she wasn't the only one in it, which calmed her somewhat more. Probably--most assuredly, it was something to do with their presence within the male-dominated academy.<br/><br/>Regardless, if it came down to it, she would demonstrate her prowess on whichever field of battle was needed and prove herself to be not only the equal, but the better, of any male here in her class. Of that she was certain. And if the matron-mistress oversaw Melee-Magthere, nothing said that she as another from a noble house, and one almost upon the Ruling Council of Eight, couldn't prove an equal. Once the loremaster responds she silently rises from her seat and walks after the Matron Mistress. She contemplated putting down the offensive drow now and throttling her right then and there, but a glance at the other girl caused her to tense with wariness. This wasn't the time or place for it; better to catch her entirely unaware, and with no witnesses. Yes, that would be the drow way. Thus, she followed, almost complacently, the matron mistress, muttering no word as they went wherever she deigned to take them."

He understood that it was more or less a history lesson into the origins of their race but that didn't make the young half-breed's building anger subside.  He drifted out of the Oval-shaped classroom, focusing inwardly to sublimate his emotions and took a deep breath as he headed for the training grounds.  He let had avoided making too much of a scene on the way into the training grounds, thankful for the moment that this was something more active.   Jalynfein much preferred this sort of lesson to sitting (or standing) around listening to a lecture for hours on end.<br/><br/>Once there, he looked over the area, noting all of the dummies and other training paraphernalia- then he saw the boulders.  Noting the weights, he knew instinctively he could easily move all of the others other than that one that weighed a ton and a half.  Well...he knew he might be able to if he really let the rage triggered by the previous lesson surge through, but he'd already drawn attention to himself once today in a bad way, no reason to do that again.<br/><br/>""It looks easy enough."" he said and walked over to the weights.<br/><br/>The first four of them he moved with ease, mostly by blatantly lifting them off the ground.

He was still seething visibly, made plain by the slight rising of his hair in the way a hackled dragon's spines might rise up when agitated.  He wasn't going to attack anyone here, but was clearly keeping his rage on ashort leash so he could better direct it until it burned out.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Jalynfein's Max Loads and modifiers</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/>He can normally move up to 2000 lbs as his max drag/push load, but with his use of his rage ability: his strength increases to 24 giving him the ability to move up to 3500 lbs as his max load.  And has used his 1/day rage ability to do so already and is now fatigued.

He watched as Jevan moved about, completing what Haelen assumed was a nearly completed ritual and bringing forth a creature from the lower planes: a barbazu, or a 'bearded devil'. Interesting that when reaching into the lower planes to summon a creature, Master Jevan had chosen the Nine Hells, rather than the Abyss. Perhaps it was for the sake of safety. If a devil broke free of Jevan control, it would be easier to negotiate with than a demon. Demons were straight forward with what they wanted, and would simply destroy everything in their way to get it if such an option was presented to them. At least, many demons would. Devils, while certainly capable of such power, would often prefer a deal. That way, they could try to get more out of it. Demons were certainly master of unbridled destruction, but when it came to negotiations and words within words, making one sided deals and the like, devils were, supposedly, unmatched. Obviously, a summoning like this was beyond Haelen's own skill to reproduce. For now, at least. But summoning a demon or devil was certainly something he had long ago planned on learning to accomplish himself.<br/><br/>He sat back and watched the creature, finding its apparent recognition of Master Jevan to be interesting. If Jevan had specifically summoned<em>this</em>barbazu... then he may well have known its True Name. If that were the case, the bearded devil likely didn't enjoy Jevan's existence very much. In fact, it probably would kill him if given the chance. But of course, devils were supposed to be a bit more.... reasonable than demons were. If Jevan was indeed planning on making an offering to the devil, as it had asked, then it would probably listen. Devils loved making deals... mostly because they generally got the better end of the deal.<br/><br/>Haelen was truly fascinated by this. He was still watching carefully though. If the devil broke free and decided to start killing things, he wanted to be prepared to cast invisibility and make an exit. Fortunately, as far as Haelen was aware, bearded devils weren't a particularly powerful breed of devils, not by comparison to, say, a pit lord, at least. He'd probably be able to escape. That, and Jevan would probably be able to control it. But when beings from the lower planes got involved, things could get out of hand, quickly..."

Ameesril knows that one aspect of Lolth is<em>lust</em>, it's one less known domains of her besides pride, envy and wrath. However Ameesril considers the many blessings of Lolth which come through suffering; birthing and breeding process of draegloths, endure spider venom from one her children's bites, sacrifices of heretics or those who fail Lolth's will. It's rarer sacrifice to sacrifice a drow but it happens regularly enough. Sacrificing a drow is no less swift or no less planned than sacrificing a surface elf, a thought is given to ritual words, exact dagger model and exact torture used and so forth.<br/><br/>So Ameesril does something daring; in disagreeing with Mistress Iraeuitna Dyrr words she replies; ""No Mistress Iraeuitna Dyrr, Lolth does not rejoice because we are comfortable. She may appreciate pure unmasked lust as expressed passion as part of sermon which includes a sacrifice. The screams, cries and suffering of the sacrifice pleases Lolth more than just swift strike of knife on sacrifice's heart. She does not celebrate death, she gets her offering given to her by suffering of our sacrifice of her altar. Death just sends soul to her domain where she herself can enjoy tormenting the soul personally. We may enjoy spoils of our victory or celebrate our conquests done under her name, but we should never forget that she delights in suffering, both of our victims on altars and also suffering of her own children; the drow.""<br/><br/>With those words Ameesril moves off the cushioned pillow, moving it aside and moving to more traditional prayer sitting pose what had been taught with crack of whips on her backside during first years in Arach-Tinilith as she continues; ""There are appropriate moments where you can indulge yourself with luxury, comfort or seek pleasure to enjoy yourself, but as of yet I do not feel I have earned any of such moment yet.""<br/><br/><hr/><div class=""floatright""><strong>Taleeryn Symryvvin</strong> (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=848207)<br/>(http://img1.liveinternet.ru/images/attach/c/7/96/218/96218253_88b45ae2952d.jpg)</div>Master Taleeryn watches as the freak of the class goes lift all four boulders and goes to the fifth boulder.

He started growling roll the boulder ten feet and then circle it back and roll back to it's spot while bristling and looking quite angry. He looked also scary but Taleeryn was too much hardened to affected such meager threatening displays. But what truly made his jaw literally drop and send chill his blood was the act rolling the boulder and Jalynfein moving it....and him being freak top of that!<br/><br/><em>Fucking Lolth's tits, I am fucking dead.

So he could not hid nor cover this event unless he butchers each and every student in the training courtyard now! But doing that also would get him freaking killed! But doing what he must do also may get him killed!<br/><br/>Master Taleeryn is most lowest noble house in drow city, but he has considered himself brilliant weaponmaster and smart....but this dead end causes his blood chill as realization it's his funeral day today likely. So what a drow weaponmaster will do when all paths lead to death? Master Taleeryn steels himself and decides what is his duty as weaponmaster, as Jalynfein calms down from his rage (and couple other students had lifted stones and he had not even seen them doing so), he silently draws his longsword from his sheath. The dark adamantine blade does not glimmer as he keeps it's tip pointed down as he approaches Jalynfein in slow confident stride, staring daggers on him as he approaches. Promising thousands of deaths upon his wretched body and soul and he strikes!<br/><br/>But not on Jalynfein, past him onto the boulder which he had rolled, Master Taleeryn uses his longsword as makeshift scalpel as he makes accurate powerful thrusts and slashes onto hewn stone with adamantine blade which cuts such surface like hot knife cuts rothe butter. Clicks, snaps and sound of slicing stone is heard as he rapidly uses his longsword and once he is finished he has carved onto stone a name;<em>Jalynfein Freth</em>.<br/><br/>Once done with carving he angrily sheaths his longsword and reaches to his pocket....tossing him a single platinum coin he says; ""Take the coin and return back to the line<em>freak</em>."" Master Taleeryn stares after Jalynfein, as carving and the coin was not all what he must do today...he needs report of the event to matron Baenre herself, that a thousand year ago placed challenge which she herself had declared when she had brought the boulder has finally been overcome but overcomed by a freak?!<br/><br/><em>Lolth has most twisted senses of humors it seems, I hope your laughing now.</em>"

He had never disliked Jevan, but some sacrifices would have to be made and if they weren't with you they were against you. Failing that, he could set up some of his fellow students to take the fall, and if it benefited Jevan, a potential ally, he could have them dispatched by this creature more easily than simply ridding himself of the body in a chasm or crevice."

The hand removed itself after she studied the other girl and the smile grew wider. ""You want me to protect you from all the big scary boys, is that right?

Any char with Con 9 or above can run 1 minute no problem (under it you start suffer nonlethal damage 1pt and become fatigued after 5 rounds). After 1 minute you must roll Con check DC 10 to keep running another minute without damage. Then roll after two minutes DC 12 and three minutes DC 14 and so on until you fail. When you fail, you get 1pt non-lethal damage and become fatigued. But if you become fatigued while in rage, when rage ends you become exhausted. While fatigued you cannot run but can still double move. Exhausted you move half of your normal speed. Taleeryn keeps everyone running until they are all fatigued.<br/><br/>It takes 1 hour remove exhaustion and 8 hours remove fatigue. As reminder fatigue gives -2 penalty to Str/Dex, exhausted gives -6. It affects AC and all situations where those stats apply (including skills and saves).<br/><br/>Also if anyone fails the con check and starts slow down (without anyone else doing same in same turn), he attempts hit you once with whip for 1d3+3 non-lethal damage (if he misses, he does not try hit again).

It had been close, but she was still unimpressed by the attack. ""Weak,"" she laughed preparing to counter with another punch to the girl's face, bringing her arms up clumsily, unaccostumed to fighting unarmed. Still, she was confident that she could take down the other neonate without a problem. As she prepared another punch she saw the matron mistress move and in a flurry of movements five snake-heads snaked out and dug into her soft skin. And then the pain.<br/><br/>It was worse than anything she had ever experienced before, a searing to the bone that rocked her entire world. She had no clue that you could<em>feel</em>this much pain, and it hurt so terribly. Gasping for breath, she sank to her knees as the snakes danced above her, threatening to strike again and again. Her eyesight dimmed to a sliver, but she fought against the pain. Her knees felt like they were coated in glue, her limbs felt heavy almost as though she were neck-deep in molasses, and she looked up into the matron mistress's eyes, feeling fear for the first time since entering the academy.<br/><br/>This. This was<em>true</em>power. Had she been of any other race, she probably would have felt respect, all things the same. And it was true, there was some of that. But it was twisted with jealousy and hatred for the woman who stood threatening over her. She can hear a voice screaming in pain, and only distantly realizes that it is her own voice, sounding strange and inhuman in its pain. The world was rimmed with red and she felt heavy. It would be easy, too easy to simply let it go, release her hold on consciousness, and lay down on the cold floor beneath her to cool her skin and escape the pain into the ease of unconsciousness.<br/><br/>No. She refused to accept that. She was<em>drow</em>, one of Lolth's favored race, and female at that. Pride forced her to her feet with a grunt. Distantly she knew that if the matron mistress attacked her once more she would be gone, but she refused to bow down to anyone. That was not the drow way, and if she let something as trivial as pain bring her down she would regret it for the rest of her life. Rasping gasps escaped her throat, her scarlet eyes flashing in hatred and anger. It was all she could do to try to defend herself, the pain too much to fight through. But at least she was standing. ""Only with help... you have even a chance of taking me down... is that right?!"" she heard the words distantly, and recognized the voice as her own, directed at the other girl.

For all he knew, Xullim was simply trying to command the devil to do something for him, even though the devil had been summoned by a different individual. Why was Xullim even trying? Jeven had obviously brought the barbazu to this plane for a reason, and it likely wasn't for the creature to be shouted at by Jevan's students. Still, Haelen lazily watched the exchange.<br/><br/>The devil, for its parts, seemed... willing to listen? Was Xullim trying to make a deal with it, and had some how garnered its interest?

Master Taleeryn continues the lesson until all have one way or another got winded up during the exercise, despite making it any sense or not but it was means build stamina fairly easy method. As heart and lungs get used to physical laborious activity they grow and develop.<br/><br/>Either way once all have ran up to winded condition at least once (and some who had recovered and started fully run were noted by Master Taleeryn) he then calls for halt and says; ""Okay, now we are warmed up for the obstacle course which will test your strength and agility. Now follow me so we get to the practice sight."" Thus a ten minute warm up exercise ends.<br/><br/>With that Master Taleeryn leads the students to obstacle course part of the training area, it was a large hall where was overall 300'ft space devoted to test speed, strength and agility. There was loose rope ladder which reached up to 40'ft high stone wall where on top there was three narrow stone beams crossing a deep pool of water which was 20'ft long. At end of narrow beams was then three stone poles where was solid rope died to cross a actual massive spider web with small spiders in it but web appearing strong enough to resist falling warrior's weight (but no doubt disturb small spiders and upset them). The spider web was grand 60'ft long.<br/><br/>After that there was actual pool of water which to swim through and at end there was slippery polished stone slope of 40'ft long which you had to quickly balance up while it being slippery. After that there was stone wall which had rough cut surface and no rope at all to reach 20'ft height of it. Atop it then there are several smooth topped stone pillars crossing a area which seems to be spider's breeding pits, you need make several easy leaps to get through the area without falling into the deep pit (which climb out from is hard both because spiders and rough cut stone wall).<br/><br/>Final obstacle is then polished (severely slippery) round stone bridge where there are swinging dried up mushrooms tied to swinging mechanism above the bridge, you have to 'dodge' the mushrooms swinging motion while crossing the bridge or fall down into pit filled with sand. At end of bridge there is a metal chest with Lolth symbol carved on it.<br/><br/>Once students spend time observing the obstacle course Master Taleeryn speaks; ""Now, you can use non-lethal force hinder your rivals as end of the course there is reward waiting the victor. Some students have<em>died</em>on this very obstacle course, especially ones with spiders on some of them. You go far as you feel confident to do so, but it's expected you complete this course at least<em>once</em>before you graduate from the academy. If you fall or fail in attempt cross, you will keep trying until you succeed. At each obstacle you decide will you continue or stop. Your student rankings are determined by success on this obstacle course and also grand melee. You cannot under any circumstance fly over, go around or go through the obstacle walls. Naturally meaning you do not use magic any kind to solve parts of obstacle.<br/><br/>Now get into line so I can start the countdown to start the obstacle course.""<br/><br/>Once all students are ready he counts down from ten; ""Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two...and<strong>one!</strong>""<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft""><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Obstacles and checks needed pass them</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><em>First obstacle;</em> You can take 10 on rope ladders and get top on in 1 minute. Or can roll climb with +2 bonus (DC 5 needed). Take account that each check makes you travel one fourth (rounded down) from normal speed. If you fail DC by 5 or more you fall but otherwise do not make any progress on fail. You take falling damage as appropriate from distance you fall. You can take -5 penalty to climb to accelerate by half of your speed instead 1/4. While climbing you have no dex bonus and taking any damage forces you roll climb check against wall DC (this obstacle case DC 5), on fail you fall down. But keep the damage rule in mind other obstacles.<br/><br/><em>Second obstacle;</em> Crossing each narrow stone bridge is DC 10 balance check, you move half of your normal speed while crossing them so need two checks. Fail by 5 or more and you fall into water, 4 or less fail you stand still. If someone hits you or tries shove you around, need concentration check to remain in balance. If fell into water (no damage from fall), it's DC 10 swim checks to run to the start and start climb up. If you fail swim DC by 5 or more you fall under the water (it's 20'ft deep). Your considered flat-footed while balancing unless having 5 ranks in balance. You can take -5 penalty to balance to cross this as single move action.<br/><br/><em>Third obstacle;</em> You must climb across the 60'ft long spider web, same as first obstacle in climb rules wise but if you fall you take no damage but your attacked single swarm of spiders (initiative is rolled) and are kept attacked until you leave the web (the web is not sticky but as you fall in your counted entangled until you break free and start climb out from it, it's a 30'ft wide pit so going by center pole you got 15'ft distance to edge and from edged ropes you got 10'ft only).<br/><br/><em>Fourth obstacle;</em> The swimming pool is 100'ft long and it's rough water (made possible by water wheels which add current to it). It's 20'ft deep and so need DC 15 swim checks to cross it. At end there is slippery slope of rock which is 40'ft long and need balance check DC 15 to move in it (if fail by 4 or less you keep balance but do not move, 5 or more you slide down on the water entire distance you progressed).<br/><br/><em>Fifth obstacle;</em> A climb checks DC 20 to climb up (it's rough cut stone wall).<br/><br/><em>Sixth obstacle;</em> In stone pillars you need do four DC 5 jump checks and one DC 10 jump check. However after first leap you do not get running start, so all DC's are <em>doubled</em>, so it turns into three DC 10 and one DC 20 jump checks after first jump unless you can do running start from 5'ft radius pillar. If you jump untrained (no ranks in it), you fall prone after each jump unless pass the DC by 5 or more.<br/><br/>If you fail jump by 4 or less, you get to roll climb check DC of 10 to grab on ledge and then roll another climb check to climb up from the ledge onto pillar. If fail 5 or more you fall down directly to the spider breeding pit which is 30'ft below you and take falling damage appropriately. As in earlier obstacle falling in disturbs the spider swarm attack you. You need climb 10'ft height with DC 20 climb checks (rough cut stone walls).<br/><br/><em>Seventh obstacle;</em> Crossing the polished severely slippery stone bridge is DC 20 balance check and bridge is 40'ft long. There are eight swinging mushrooms in the bridge by ropes, you need pass DC 20 tumble check to pass each mushroom safely (which performs a bull rush check vs you with Str mod of +5 if you fail) or you can simply move across and try dodge mushroom (which attacks with +5 modifier but remember that while balancing you loose dex bonus from AC unless you have 5 ranks in balance and mushroom needs hit your touch AC). Upon hit you can resist the bull rush check with Str or Dex check and upon success you pass it.<br/><br/>If someone decides to be clever and just climb under the bridge, the DC doing so is 105 (according epic hand book). Upon fall you fall 30'ft down onto sand (take falling damage). Nothing suspicious in the sand itself. But falling means going all way to start as there is no means to get stone bridge nor climb wall to jump across pillars nor swimming pool.<br/> <br/>The chest is unlocked and reward is chest filled with gold (up to 1,000gp). Also crossing 1-3 obstacle yields a 100 XP when first time crossing it, 4-6 obstacles give 200 XP each and final obstacle yields 500 XP. Total XP earned when doing whole obstacle course once is 1,400 XP.</div></div></div>"

At the very least, she would leave with her dignity intact. ""Was there anything else, Matron Mistress?"" she asks, the wounds on her body still evident, yet she asked for no help. Doing so would make her seem weak, and hopefully the passing of a few days would heal her. It was important though that she not allow the other acolytes to see her in this state, and she resolved to visit their quarters at the first opportunity to find something to hide the welts and bruises the snake-fangs had marked on her body."

If it wasn't one thing it was another, upon noticing the slick or polished obstacles he began to wonder what life would've been like had been born with talons on his toes as well. It'd have made this alot easier at least but that's the way the world went.<br/><br/>He went for it and tried to get an advantage by jumping up the ladder as high as he could and grabbed on to climb up. Making it up the rope laddeer easily and to the top, approaching the next obstacle and gauging his ability to get across it. Getting across the slick balance pole was something else entirely; requiring him to slow down a little but still try to keep a decent pace up.  Though nearly slipping a few times Jalynfein managed to get all the way across it without too much issue.<br/><br/>Then the spider web cross, god the image of something that would make a web that huge was a little upsetting to him. And he'd never want to meet one like that face to face anywhere; but this was Menzoberranzen, if you looked around hard enough you could probably find a spider this huge.  This required a bit more determination to keep going across the webbed pit without upsetting or bouncing the spiders around too much.  Do it too fast and you might fall, too slow and the spiders might decide to take a nip here or there.<br/><br/>He'd see the next challenge just as he cleared the web, they had to swim? God knows what was in that water!  Considering all the nasty things in the underdark that lived in and around habitable water sources; he had good reason to be a bit wary.  But Not wanting to give in to hesitation or the twinge of anxiety it caused, Jalynfein took it on as he'd taken on the other challenges; by getting as far as he could with a leap out and began to swim.  His natural strength powering him through the rough water easily despite going under at times fromthe current and his muscles weighing him down.<br/><br/>Then there was the climb afterward that was a pain in the ass but those claws of his found purchase in the stone and he managed to flex to the max and pulled himself out of the water.  ""PHew."" he mutterd and looked up and shook his head before finding his first hold on the rought hewn wall and proceeded vertically, again his natural weapons providing him with a bit of an advantage in this situation and he got to the top as fast he possibly could.<br/><br/>Then the pillar jump test and he sighed at that and took the first jump out and landed it but had to crouch down to lower his center of gravity to avoid being shoved off by his own momentum and paused to let it pass before jumping to the second one and managed to keep his feet under him this time then leapt to the third, Then the fourth after a pause to calculate the distance and jumped hard, pushing off from the lip of the previous one to narrowly land on the last one and had to windmill his arms a bit to keep his balance but didn't fall.<br/><br/>Though he'd size up the last obstacle and groaned, considering his options. He wouldn't attempt that, Getting across a narrow beam with swinging mushrooms would be a pain and he wondered what the hell the point was of that particular obstacle.

If you roll above that, you need move 50'ft to get onto plate bile and then use free action pick a plate.

""In that case, I'll be requiring another set of clothing in order to make myself presentable, and act as one of the many hands of Lolth that all Drow are."" If she receives a new outfit, she'll place the house insignia on that one before looking at him again. ""If there's nothing else, I will take my leave,"" she murmurs, moving away and making sure to take some of the older clothes with her before unrolling the letter and reading its contents with rapt attention out of eyesight from any passerby that might be walking the unhallowed halls of Melee-Magthere.<br/><br/>Thoughts whirl in her mind as she continues to try to make sense of all that had happened this day. It had been such a short time, yet so much had occurred, and she was sure that it was far from over. The others would probably be at lunch at this time, and she would need to join them shortly, but more importantly was the content of this letter. Perhaps it would allow her to rise to even greater status, to gain the benefit of Lolth's true favor, or perhaps it might drag her into a downward spiral where she would be unable to escape. Regardless, fate would not find Alonia Duskryn wanting."

Now that was an interesting point. How had the Sorcere master learned it in the first place? Had Jevan made some deals with some other outsiders in an attempt to gain the name of this particular creature? Had he asked around simply for the true name of any barbazu? Or perhaps he had offered something so great to this creature that it had given up its own true name in exchange. Haelen wasn't sure about that though. Would a devil ever willingly give up its own true name? Perhaps if the creature thought it would be destroyed, and permanently, then Haelen could imagine a circumstance wherein a devil - or a demon, for that matter - would choose to surrender its own true name rather than be annihilated. Perhaps Jevan had gotten the name by threatening the creature? Maybe even torturing it? If that were the case though, that would have to mean that Jevan had gone to the Nine Hells to attack the creature, since he wouldn't be able to truly 'kill' it on the Prime Material Plane.<br/><br/>Then Jevan spoke of always keeping deals with summoned beings, as they did outlive even drow. It was one thing to have the potential to live for a millennium. It was quite another to be without age. To be beyond the possibility of a death by natural causes. That, and devils probably weren't particularly forgiving when it came to breaking deals. Given how long they could live for, and therefore, how long they could hold a grudge for - forever - it made sense that Jevan cautioned his students to always keep deals made with the creatures. Haelen again found himself wondering if Jevan had learned this particular creatures true name from the creature itself, or had gotten that information from another."

She suspected it was a man, due to its strong posture. It lacked a woman’s delicacy. Clad in red, the man was travelling through the seas of water, ice and fire. Fire she had known, dancing orange and red flames leaping from one wave to another, and fire she had never seen before, flashes of wild green, devouring everything on their path to victory. She wasn’t sure which colour suited the man better. He seemed calm like water – she could almost swear she had seen him dancing on water, and yet he was a burning man. He burnt like no other she had seen. His eyes were two swirling balls of fire and desire, his hands moving swiftly like flames. She saw him leaving trace in the Northern snow, as he had finally reached a port town she could swear she almost recognised. But he didn’t stop, he pressed on, through the winds and summer snows, even the cold didn’t seem to bother him. He was fire, Maiev reminded herself, as she observed him further.<br/><br/>She could not pierce the shadow of his red hood. His face was a secret even to her green eyes. The only thing she had seen were his fiery eyes that made her feel uneasy. She was shaking, burning shivers going through her body as she looked into those dangerous eyes one more time.<br/><br/>Her vision followed his moves. He was getting closer, she could almost hear words he spoke, almost feel his hot breath on her face, almost touch his hot body. He was coming to Greyhold. And he was bringing fire and destruction with him.<br/><br/>A song.<br/><br/>Maiev had heard this song before. It was a song filled with ice and fire, but there was also a hint of something else.<br/><br/>The redhaired Northern woman woke up as a desire to break the fast struck her.<br/><br/>Desire.<br/><br/><div align=""center"">***</div><strong>Where:</strong>Greyhold<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Leynir, Lowell, Tybolt, Owell<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/LewysGreystark_zps72af6b54.jpeg)</div>The morning had dawned clear and warm, almost inspiring a feeling that this summer would never end. Some had already called it “the Long Summer”. It had already lasted a couple of years and there was still no sign of winter. The maesters of the Citadel, as always, wouldn’t agree whether it was indeed a long summer, or maybe winter would come soon. Lord Lewys had never had a great love for the scholars. They would argue over matters of no importance, do research of no value and usefulness, and spend all their days in the library, instead of going out like true men. He still remembered how their maester was unable to help his feverish brother. All those herbalist tricks, all the medicinal liquids, nothing seemed to work. All was in vain, the maester couldn’t help his elder brother Edric. Although he had been only ten at the time, he could still hear the poor boy’s feverish moans and sobs, filled with pain emanating from the festered wound just under his knee. It wasn’t the only time when a maester failed him and his family.<br/><br/>His memories of his first wife were much more vivid than those of his childhood. She could easily recall his divine Ceridwen. The moment he had seen her, Lewys swore that if the New Gods existed, Ceridwen must have been a personification of the Maiden. She was beautiful in a wild, passionate way. She was a woman of wild, raw beauty, with dark hair and eyes of icy blue. A woman of wild, raw passions as well. Gods be cruel, she was taken away from him, giving birth to his firstborn son. It was then that a maester had failed him again. He said there were complications during labour and that she, the woman of Lewys’ dreams, had died. She had died, just like that, with no war, no conflict, no fire, no disease.<br/><br/>It was just after the great civil war that had taken many lives among the members of House Greystark that Lewys experienced joy of having a competent maester serving his house. The new maester, Owell was his name, managed to cure his youngest son, Erik, from a persistent cough that threatened to kill the boy. Lord Lewys was afraid his child would join his mother, grandmother and aunt in the afterlife, so soon after their deaths, but the young maester was able to restore the boy to health. It was quite a miracle in Greystark’s eyes. From that moment on, he had shown much more respect to the maester’s craft and listened carefully to his words of wisdom.<br/><br/>He was listening even now. Lord Lewys sat on a stone chair in the dining hall, listening to the maester giving advice on the economy of the house. He nodded his head, agreeing with the scholar’s suggestion and smiled, but it was a smile devoid of happiness. There was only fatigue there. It seemed that the years of peace and quiet had taken worse toll than the days of war on the lord. Or was it the matter of the wedding? Owell had noticed how concerned he was with this arrangement. It was clear that he was torn inside, it wasn’t clear why however. Tullisons were a respected and wealthy house of good renown in the Riverlands, kin to Tullys of Riverrun. What the maester suspected was that thinking of Tullisons made Lewys think back to his second wife and her untimely death during Robert’s Rebellion. She was a Tullison, and now his heir was taking her brother’s firstborn daughter as his wife. A future lady Greystark.<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/SeptaRosine_zps3d624c42.jpg)</div>Lord Lewys shook his head and realised that his children were just arriving in the dining hall to break their fast with him before they took to their horses and leave for Riverred. His only daughter, sweet and innocent Elise, with her mother’s red hair, was accompanied by septa Rosine. Although Greystarks all followed the Old Gods, when Elayne Tullison came to Greyhold, she begged her lord husband to build a small sept of the New Gods, so that she had a place of worship. It was not beautiful like most of the septs his late wife had attended. It was stony and unwelcoming, and yet… the rainbow light had always been able to calm her nerves down. She then had a septon sent to Greyhold, so that she could take part in small ceremonies in the gods’ name. Only when Elayne died, however, did he invite a septa to his household. He realised that his daughter needed a womanly presence in her life to make a good wife one day and septas were great teachers of manners and all the other womanly pursuits. Thus, septa Rosine arrived at Greyhold. Ever since, she was a constant companion of Elise… at least when the girl wasn’t with maester Owell. Lord Lewys trusted the maester, but he wasn’t too happy with his daughter’s fascination with the maester and the knowledge he offered to teach. Nonetheless, lord Greystark did nothing with it, seeing no harm in it.<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/EliseGreystark_zpsc46c8455.jpg)</div>“M’lord,” septa Rosine bowed down and looked at the young lady just behind her. Elise curtsied with reverence, “Father, may we break the fast now?” Lewys nodded and soon there was food being served on their table. Hot bread, butter and honey, with blackberry preserves, as well as rashers of bacon and soft-boiled eggs, wedges of cheese and mulled wine to wash it all down.<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/ErikGreystark_zps137ca4d0.jpg)</div>“Father,” Elise’s twin brother, Erik, spoke up, “when do we leave? I’ve heard almost everything’s ready. We should make haste!” His sister sneered. Erik had been behaving as if it was his wedding, and not his elder brother’s.<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/StewardDeryl_zps16f776cf.jpg)</div>“We’re leaving in two hours,” said lord Lewys, although no one could be sure whether he was talking to his children or his servants to make sure they were prepared to leave. “Deryl,” he addressed the castle’s steward, “I’m confident you’ll keep my lands safe and prosperous during our short absence.” Deryl, a man of thirty years, nodded, “Of course, m’lord. As always. I have been…”<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/MaievGreystark_zps037ebd80.jpg)</div>Before he could finish his sentence, an elderly woman stormed into the hall, with a look of madness in her verdant green eyes, her hair a mess of fiery red locks, “Fire! Fire!” she shrieked like a madwoman.<br/><br/>“What? Fire?! Where, mother?!” Lewys stood up in an instant.<br/><br/>“No, no, no! Not yet, will be! Fire’s coming! I saw it! Dreams, dreams don’t lie, now, do they?! Dreams, fire, a burning man is coming to burn us all down!” The lady mother’s talk of prophetic dreams was a constant reminder of her madness. She was a fierce woman, every member of House Greystark knew that. There was no disagreeing with her. Her moods changed like the moon.<br/><br/>“Mother… this again? Dreams do not hold the truth of the future.” Lewys said, shaking his head.<br/><br/>“You may be a lord now, but you’re as stupid as you were as a boy of green!” Maiev cried out aggresively.<br/><br/>“Enough of that, mother. I want to hear no more about your dreams. Now come and break the fast with us,” Everyone living with the wild woman had to learn how to endure her changing moods without losing temper. Even lord Lewys, however, sometimes was on the verge of patience with his own mother, especially when she publicly challenged his authority. He had to tolerate the old woman though. She was his mother, after all.<br/><br/>The redhaired woman looked at her son with her emerald green eyes and said nothing. She sat down and covered her bacon with blackberries.<br/><br/>A servant, with a look of distress on his face, came rushing to the lord. “M’lord, a guest’s arrived at the castle, seeking hospitality. He says you’d want to talk to him, m’lord.” The servant, a young man of nineteen maybe, could have been handsome if puberty had not left some horrible red scars on his youthful face.<br/><br/>“Show him in, then. May he break the fast with us!”<br/><br/>“Of course, m’lord.”<br/><br/>In a few moments, a figure in red robes was shown into the dining hall, where the more important members of the household sat and ate. There was light summer snow still on his robes, but it didn’t seem to cause him any discomfort.<br/><br/>The lord stood up and moved to welcome their guest, “Well met, traveller! What brings you to our castle? Please, come in and sit at our table with us. Know the hospitality of the Old Gods.”<br/><br/>Lady Maiev’s green eyes flashed with a mixture of anger and recollection, “Fire! Red! Burning man! You!” she opened her eyes as wide as was humanly possible and made a cry of shock, “Gods be good! Can it be…? After all those years? Tybolt?”<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Mechanics</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Everyone, except Tybolt, is allowed a Knowledge (Education) check here to see if they recognise Tybolt's robes as those of a red priest.

great wagon of civilization running smoothly.  Most of their duties were performed out of sight, just as the lubricated axle was hidden within the hub of the wheel.  And like the wagon, they were expected to always be available.<br/><br/>His movement had stirred the ravens.  Their squawking had filled his chamber.  Or were they already chattering about when he rose?  He hardly ever heard them anymore.  Wagons never slept, and neither apparently did Maesters.<br/><br/>Calming the ravens was simple enough.  Apparently a correspondence had arrived in the dead of night, a letter from the Lord Ondrew Locke.<br/><br/><em>I am bereft as I write this</em>his Maester had written,<em>but the ferocious storms that have plagued our coast have brought me low with a coughing sickness.  I cannot attend your son’s wedding.  Please accept my deepest regrets, but know that Leynir…</em><br/><br/>The tepid apologetics and well wishes continued for quite some time, but it was likely for the best.  Lord Locke was an old man who had never been overly fond of Lord Lewys.  The Lockes of Oldcastle and the Greystarks of Greyhold shared a bitter history stretching back to the Bolton rebellion, and the bad blood between them had never fully cleared.<br/><br/>Owell set about the remainder of his early duties: feeding the ravens, forecasting the weather, and all of the other tasks that kept the wagon trundling along.  As he worked, a second raven arrived, it’s letter bearing the seal of the Master of the Coin: taxes.  When the sun crested the horizon an hour later, he had already broken his fast on hardtack and apple and descended the forty one steps from his rookery-come-observatory, his leather writing roll and a fareye for Leynir buried within his deep pockets.  As he had predicted, the day was warm, just above freezing, with a gentle wind swirling the occasional flurry of summer snow to melt on the moist ground.  The frayed hem of his robes was soon dark with snowmelt as he crossed the parade ground to the main hall of Greyhold.  The links of his chain clinked merrily as he walked: silver on brass, bronze on copper, red gold on black iron.<br/><br/>He arrived to find Lord Lewys already seated in the dining hall.  The food had not yet arrived, so Maester Owell seized the opportunity to settle the tax issue.<br/><br/>“Lord Lewys,” Maester Owell said, bowing his head respectfully as he approached the head of the table.  “If I may?”<br/><br/>After the older man nodded, he procured the letter from his pocket.  Maester Owell had broken the seal when he read it, but the golden wax was all the evidence needed.  “A raven just arrived bearing these debts.  I fear the crown has increased the tax on our land yet again, although it’s still well within the means of the coffers.  I suggest we pay it in full, but these tax raises are worrying.  Perhaps we should petition Lord Stark?”<br/><br/>Lord Lewys nodded with an emotionless smile.  The man’s mind was obviously elsewhere, if not on the imminent wedding, then on the tragedies of the past.  Like many old men, Lord Lewys too often dwelt on what he had lost: two wives, Ceridwen and Elayne, his brothers Edric and Lewyn, his sister Arwyn.  Even his sole surviving sibling, Tybolt, had fled shortly before Maester Owell had arrived at Greyhold, never to be seen again.  All Lord Lewys had left were his children and his mother, and poor Maiev’s mind was slowly slipping away.<br/><br/>Taxes were the least of his concern now.  Maester Owell would handle the issue.  Giving Lord Lewys the peace of mind to enjoy the wedding of his firstborn son was the least he could do.<br/><br/>As the children filtered in, Maester Owell sat at his tiny writing table beside and behind Lord Lewys’s stone chair and began scratching out a draft of Greyhold’s reply to King’s Landing.  He smiled fondly as Elise walked in, but the stern look Septa Rosine gave him sent him back to his writing.  It was probably for the best, given the disconcerting rumors he knew were circulating throughout the castle.<br/><br/>Erik’s loud entrance didn’t even raise his head.  The boy was headstrong and boisterous, and none too fond of him.  His raucousness had become as familiar as the squawking of the ravens.<br/><br/>Maiev, however, sent Maester Owell leaping to his feet, nearly knocking the ink jar over in the process, but it was just another one of her dreams.  He was beginning to fear she was succumbing to senility, a terrible wasting illness of the elderly that ate away at their minds until they were just children trapped in dying bodies.  He would ask Lord Lewys for permission to brew her a draught after breakfast, but—<br/><br/>Yet another interruption broke his train of thought as the servant boy Lan rushed in with news of a visitor.  The tidings perked Maester Owell’s ears, and he hastily cleaned up his writing kit in anticipation.  By the time the man entered the hall, he was standing in his expected position: a pace behind and to the left of Lord Lewys, close enough that he could lean forward and whisper in his ear, but far enough back that it was clear he was just a Maester, a servant to the realm.<br/><br/>His eyes went wide as soon as he saw the man’s flowing red robes.  He had seen dozens of red priests when he had lived in the observatory in Norvos.  Their brilliant attire was unmistakable.<br/><br/><em>”Well met, traveler! What brings you to our castle? Please, come in and sit at our table with us. Know the hospitality of the Old Gods.”</em><br/><br/>Maester Owell leaned forward as Lord Lewys stood, and kept pace as he walked forward.<br/><br/>“My Lord, I am certain that that man is a red priest, an acolyte of R’hllor, the Red God from beyond the Narrow Sea.”<br/><br/>He could hardly keep the awe out of his voice as he spoke.  One simply did not see red priests on Westeros, let alone in the heart of the North where the old gods still held sway.<br/><br/><em>“Gods be good! Can it be…? After all those years? Tybolt?”</em><br/><br/>Maiev’s announcement stunned Maester Owell even more than the red robes had.  Tybolt?  Tybolt Greystark had become a<em>red priest</em>?  Somehow, the Maester managed to hide his surprise as he diligently followed Lord Lewys, but his mind was racing behind his calm expression.  Why had Tybolt adopted the Lord of Light as his god, and why had he brought him here?  Was the man mad enough to show up to his nephew’s Northron wedding wearing those red robes?<br/><br/>The hair on the back of his neck stood on end, and a sudden sense of dread gripped his heart.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Stats</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Equipment</strong>:<br/>-- Writing Kit (parchment, ink, quill, sand)<br/>-- Far Eye<br/>-- Taxation Letter<br/><strong>Combat</strong>: I don't really know what to put for this yet.<br/><strong>Intrigue</strong>: Same here...</div></div>"

His robes were a deep red that was the color of freshly spilled blood before it had begun to darken and made of a particularly fine fabric. The hooded figure stood tall, taller than most any in the room though not as powerfully build - that much was evident even covered in cloth - and a quiet confidence radiated from him in a way that often times only the truly faithful could compare to.<br/><br/>And now, there before him was his mother, looking... certainly older than she had when he had left. The years didn't appear to have been kind to the woman and she seemed to have aged more than just the decade that Tybolt had been gone. Her cries of fire and of a burning man did, however, surprise him somewhat.  She was... ranting? She'd never been particularly stable, but... Tybolt would deal with this later.<br/><br/>Tybolt lifted his hands and pushed back his hood, revealing his shaved head, goatee, and sparkling blue eyes. ""Now mother, is that any way to welcome your son home?"" he asked with an amused voice before walking towards her, arms outstretched, blood red robes gliding silently across the floor. He embraced her warmly before turning to Lord Lewys.<br/><br/>""Dear brother, it has been... too long,” he said, moving towards the man to clasp forearms with the man who was Lord of the Keep and his eldest brother. ""How have you been?""<br/><br/>Tybolt would then make his way around the room to his family members, stopping briefly at each.<br/><br/>“Erik, Elise,” he said, smiling at them, “You probably don’t even remember me, do you? I remember when you were so young and now here you are... practically grown in front of me.”<br/><br/>“And dear little Lowell,” Tybolt said, moving towards his other nephew, his smile wide. “My, you certainly have grown up, haven’t you? Just look at you. You remember your Uncle Tybolt, I hope?” Tybolt leaned in towards the young man and gave him a warm hug, a brief doting kiss placed affectionately on top of Lowell's head.<br/><br/>Tybolt finally continued on to his eldest nephew, both eyebrows going up as he got closer and realized the true size of the beast that was with the young man, though the red priest showed no fear. “Leynir,” he said, “Just look at how much you’ve grown.” He reached out towards the younger man to clasp his sturdy arm in a greeting.  “I can’t wait to see the woman who managed to land you,” he added with slightly raised eyebrows and another grin.<br/><br/>“Well,” he said, a smile on his lips as he glanced around the table, “Looks like R’hllor blessed me and I am just in time for breakfast.”<br/><br/><hr/><em>Flashback</em>:<br/>The letter had come to Tybolt as a bit of a surprise. Well, not so much a surprise, really, but… He supposed he had simply just let time slip by. Of course it was time for young Leynir to marry. Tybolt had just.. been so engrossed in things, in trying to forget the past, that he’d nearly forgotten that those he left behind would actually age the same way he had. In his mind his nephews and nieces were still so young, but by now they would all be in their teens or older.<br/><br/>Tybolt saw the whole thing as a sign from R’hllor himself. It was time to travel, to expand his own knowledge, to seek it out elsewhere, and to spread the Holy Light where it dimmed the most - the places where the Old Gods still were worshipped. They must all work together to bring R’hllor’s light everywhere and to push back the influence of The Great Other.<br/><br/>The journey had taken quite some time, though it wasn’t entirely unpleasant. The boat from Braavos to Gulltown had been relatively luxurious and R’hllor had blessed them with a good westerly wind to speed their journey. From there he had traveled by smaller boat further inland towards the crossroads, and from there onto the Kingsroad to head north.  He traveled with a pair of young retainers hired at the crossroads, there mostly to assist with food and tents.<br/><br/>Along the way he made few stops, making haste to ensure he would arrive in time for the wedding, and once again he was blessed by R’hllor and enjoyed a relatively quick trip that was largely uneventful aside from a singular brigand who thought a robed figure would be an easy mark.  Tybolt was already back on his horse before the poor man’s knees hit the ground.<br/>"

He'd been out all day yesterday however, and because he'd gotten home fairly late, he himself was robbed of energy, slowed and lethargic. That's what happens when you don't eat for an entire day. In fact, it was a mix of the soft sun filtering into his room and a powerful stomach growl that woke him up...that and a giant wolf licking his face. He groaned and playfully pushed Longtooth off of him. ""You filthy, mongrel. Hungry eh? Come, let's get some meat in your belly before you mistake someone for food.""<br/><br/>Scratching his faithful hound behind the ears, Leynir got dressed, including his sword belt. Not only was he about to feed Longtooth, but today was the day they broke the fast...he'd finally have some food in his starving belly. The pair traveled down to the larder and it didn't take long to find a slab of dried meat for his wolf to snack on. Longtooth wagged his tail and went for the food in Leynir's hand, only for a stern look from his master to stop him in his tracks. ""You'll have your food, silly beast. Just wait until we get to the dining hall. Can you manage that?""<br/><br/>Longtooth sat on his haunches and lolled his tongue out in response. ""Good boy, now come on."" The two made their way into the hall already occupied by his Lord Father, Maester Orwell, and Deryl. He threw the meat into the bowl in the corner for his hound and knew it wouldn't be long before it was gone. He always seemed to be a step after his father, which seemed fitting considering he was his heir. ""Go on, eat up."" He slapped a loving hand onto his fathers shoulder and nodded, then took his seat near him as Longtooth went and tore into his food. He averted his eyes so his hunger wouldn't continue to gnaw at him.<br/><br/>""Good morning, father. You're looking well. As well as can be expected for a Northman on fast anyway,"" he said with a smile and a  laugh. It was always nice when everyone gathered, and it would feel even better when the food came. ""Morning, Deryl, Maester Orwell"" he added with a wave to the Steward of Greyhold. A loyal and kind man who'd been there for his family for quite a long time it seemed despite him only being thirty. He also waved to their Maester, but he let the man get down to his work and didn't bore him with small talk. Not long after that, Lowell made his appearance.<br/><br/>""Brother, I know you're as hungry as me. But let's try not to stuff ourselves to the point of illness again, eh? I think Shelle' would lose her mind if we ruined another pair of bedsheets and tunics like last time remember? Hahahahah."" After that, the twins and Septa Rosine entered the dining hall. Leynir threw his arms open wide and stood up when they arrived, hugging his little sister and picking her up off the ground like he'd been doing since she was young. After she asked if they could break the fast, he placed a kiss on her cheek. ""You asked the best question one could have asked today, little sister. My stomach thanks you.""<br/><br/>Erik got a playful arm around the neck and a noogie. ""Behold, Lord Father...the Twin Terrors of Greyhold, nay, the Twin Terrors of the North."" He smiled and nodded respectfully to his sister's mother figure. ""Hello Septa Rosine, you look lovely today."" Sitting back down, he watched his second brother be the person he had been becoming for some time. ""We've plenty of time, Erik. Besides, they can't have the Wedding without the Groom now can they?"" He turned to the sound of hurried footsteps nearing the room and shot up to his feet just like his father when his grandmother came in shouting FIRE.<br/><br/>They'd smelled no smoke or anything of the sort, so just where was it?!! When she explained that it had been a vision, he breathed a deep sigh of relief and collapsed into his chair. He should be used to his grandmother by now, and he was in a way. But when she got into her more excited moods, it always took him off guard. His father and grandmother had a quick and somewhat sharp exchange before he talked her down and she just slathered her bacon in preserves. He took a big bite of some delicious cheese and didn't let the messenger interrupt him eating.<br/><br/>His eyes looked to the red hooded stranger after he was shown inside, and as was custom, he welcomed him after his father. ""Be welcome in our home, traveler."" He looked to Owell, then back to their guests. A Red Priest this far North? A Red Priest in Westeros? What a strange day this was becoming, and so early too. ""He's a bit far from home, wouldn't you say Maester?""Suddenly Maiev began shrieking again, and his hand slid to the hilt of his blade when his grandmother claimed that this man was the man who would bring fire to them.<br/><br/>He pulled it part way from it's sheath and took a step forward. Longtooth had finished his food and when he saw the source of Maiev's distress, his muzzle curled back to show his fangs in a snarl. Finally she cried out once more, then claimed the man before them, the Red Priest...was his long lost uncle. His blade found it's home again and his scowl was replaced with a wide grin.  A snap of his fingers summoned Longtooth to his side. The wolf was still ready to pounce, but a gentle hand on his head calmed him down.<br/><br/>""Be still, Longtooth. This man is family, treat him as such, won't you?"" Longtooth whimpered and sat on his haunches, rubbing his head against Leynir's thigh as his master rubbed his head. Removing the hood was all Leynir needed as the visage of his uncle he remembered from so long ago came flooding back to him. He almost allowed himself to cry...almost. He watched his uncle greet everyone, and then he finally came to him. He squeezed the man's arm in greeting before pulling him into an embrace. ""Hah, well paint my chest and call me a Horse Lord. It's really you. I've grown, Uncle Tybolt, aye. But you seem to have forgotten how to age. You look exactly as I remember."" He paused and looked him eye to eye, and shrugged his shoulders.<br/><br/>""Well not<em>exactly</em>. I used to have to look up to you."" He matched his uncles grin when he spoke about his soon to be bride. ""Oh she's quite the looker, so I'm going to ask that you behave around her. But we have time to talk about that later. You've returned to us after ten long years. Sit! Eat! "" He gestured to his own chair near his father for Tybolt to take, while he found a place on the other side, but not before taking his plate with him. He was starving and he'd gnaw off the hand of anyone right now who touched his food."

The family looked forward to the Wedding, once again merging the two noble Houses. As much as his older brother seemed to believe emotions played a strong hand in his choice of bride, Lowell knew that weddings were more politics than an expression of one's feelings. Lowell had no issue with greed tainting the sacred occasion, he simply needed to make sure the Greystarks benefited from every political maneuver, as he always did. A wedding was a time of joy and celebration, and there would be those who would take advantage of that: either with an ambush, or with the Tullison's laying groundwork for control. Lowell spent more time away from the Keep, moving through the city as a commoner to keep an ear to the ground of what might was being said or planned by potential threats.<br/><br/>His information gathering kept him out late well into the night, as the seedy thugs he dealt with didn't have the strict Lord Father to expect them up early as the Greystarks did. Lowell woke later than those siblings, though even though he was willing to risk a reputation of being lazy, an extra couple of minutes was all the luxury he allowed himself. Seeds and nuts were laid out for Pearl to eat, while Lowell got dressed for the day. The white raven was free to flutter about the room, deciding when and if he wanted to eat the food. A dark doublet hugged his chest, the buttons along his wrists left open for the fabric to hang open. A pair of simple breeches held up by a thick belt with small compartments, three short scabbards along it, and a pair of gloves tucked in. A fur scarf was pulled up next, the center two-thirds were a stark even grey, but the color slowly turned into a solid black at the ends of the thick fabric. The scarf was draped over the back of his neck and over his shoulders, the darker end pieces draping over his chest and handing down past his waist.<br/><br/>He heard Grandmother Maiev's exclamations as he made his way to the Hall. He took a deep breath to steel himself in preparation. He didn't put much stock in his grandmother's predictions, and she was smart enough to see though his attempts to pacify her. He did it out of respect, but she seemed to find it as patronizing, even if she knew Lowell cared for her. Lowell walked in just as the rest of the crowd was gawking at Tybolt. He joined in, a mixture of confusion at why somebody would be wearing that garb in Greyhold. Lowell had only heard of the Red Priests, and had never seen one in action; religion was tricky enough in the recent years without throwing in a third foreign perspective. As odd as the robes were, the fact that Tybolt was familiar in some way had Lowell looking at the man's face, his head tilted slightly to the side as he wracked his brain.<br/><br/>Lowell made his way deeper into the room, crossing the distance for Tybolt's embrace once it was his turn. He was still a little speechless at the reveal, but that didn't keep him from returning the warm embrace. He flushed at that kiss to his forehead, responding more enthusiastically than he had intended, ""Of course, Uncle!"" He chuckled softly, ""I'm glad to see you're healthy. I look forward to hearing all your stories."" He looked the man over while still standing close, as if confirming what he had already assumed.<br/><br/>He let Tybolt break the embrace to continue along with the family, Lowell making his way over towards Maiev, offering an arm to his Grandmother to help bring her to the table, fully accepting she may not utilize it. Either way, the escort allowed Lowell to check on how Maiev's mental state. He gave a warm smile to her, pulling out her chair and letting her sit, before pouring her a glass of water, ""Nana, eat something, please."" He took a seat between Maiev and Leynir, giving her a smile, hoping his concern showed enough to outweigh the fact that he wasn't engaging the contents or meaning of the dream. He chuckled at Leynir teasing him, giving his older brother a wry grin, playfully elbowing the older boy's side.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Mechanics/OOC</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Knowledge 3: 3d6 Result: 14 = Pass, 1 Degree (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=57976)<br/>I wanted to note that the Thieves Tools are hidden on his person, but I figured that was obvious.

She grit her teeth, looking angrily at them. They were doing it all again. She had told them not to wake her up with their cheers of ‘who will win today’s archery contest’. She had had enough of those insolent whelps. Her cold blue eyes pierced the sole woman among the four like sharp daggers made of ice. The young woman was truly beautiful, even clad in leathery padded armour that they used when practicing. With wavy blond hair and mesmerizing eyes of purple, she could well be every man’s dream. Lady Alleria knew that well. She used to be that woman, once. It was her every knight knelt before and begged to be given her token of affection. It was her face they wanted to look at every waking moment of their lives. But things changed, and now she was the maiden no longer. She was the mother and soon to be the crone of the family as well. She looked at her reflection in the silver mirror in her left hand. Although many would still see a dazzling beauty, she saw wrinkles and imperfections, her skin never recovering properly from her pregnancies. Her body didn’t either. She used to thin and lean, but now she felt heavy like a bison, having gained few pounds of weight while being with child and never managing to lose them. She knew it was their fault. It was her “beloved” children’s fault. If it hadn’t been for them…<br/><br/>“Alleria?” she heard her husband’s strong voice. It was a pleasant sound, even after all their years together. Lady Tullison lover her lord husband with all her heart. He knew how to deal with her, how to compliment her, how to please her even. He would always tell her how beautiful she was. She used to believe him, but that seemed so long ago to her. The things she would do to relive those moments… They were long gone however. Taken away by Alyssin and Edric, and the bastard boy too.<br/><br/>Everyone would point out how beautiful her children were. She thought so once too, but they were like dark sorcerers from the tales – draining her beauty and success to fuel their own. They stripped her away of what was rightfully hers, vigour and youthful beauty.<br/><br/>They managed to take away her husband even. He would spend days and nights with them, playing, talking, teaching. He even encouraged both of them to take up archery, so that all three of them could spend time together honing their skills with bow and arrows. Instead of taking care of his lady wife, he would spend all his time with his daughter and his son. And lady Alleria hated that more than anything else in the world.<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/AeronTullison_zps1db113b6.jpg)</div>“Love?” Aeron stepped forward and realizing Alleria was standing on the balcony, he quickly joined his wife there. “Ah, our children are getting older, aren’t they? The servants are all preparing for a great feast and the grand ceremony. I heard your brother had sent some of his finest roses to decorate the sept for Alyssin’s wedding.”<br/><br/>Alyssin this. Alyssin that. Alyssin was constantly on everyone’s mind and mouths. Even her own brother fell under that purple-eyed girl’s charm. Going back in her eye’s mind, Alleria recalled the sweet scents of their fine Piper roses – the innocent white roses, the pink roses, sweet as a sin, the tea-coloured roses like a setting sun, and the mysterious purple ones, with petals of red-violet. Piper gardens used to be hers to play in. Her brother would always give her the most beautiful ones… and now he had betrayed her trust, sending what was rightfully hers to her ungrateful daughter. The firstborn child of House Tullison, the first and only daughter of lord Tullison was getting married to a wild Northerner. Alleria sincerely hoped that he was wild like those wildlings from beyond the Wall. She hoped to never see her daughter ever again after this ceremony.<br/><br/>“Is it so?” she replied coldly, “I suppose he had forgotten about yet another promise he had made.”<br/><br/>“Alleria, love, don’t think too much on it. Let’s…” Aeron was interrupted by appearance of a servant.<br/><br/>“M’lord, m’lady,” he bowed in reverence, “Few guests have already arrived. They bear a bison on their banner.”<br/><br/>“Ah, that must be the Wisents arriving early… to talk, I assume.”<br/><br/>“To talk about the possibilities, you mean.”<br/><br/>“Yes, we should go and meet our guests, my love.” Lord Aeron touched his wife’s hand and took it in his, as she looked back to the yard where her children practiced archery. She quickly turned back to the servant, “Go and tell them to go and clean themselves, I will not have my children seen like that by House Wisent.”<br/><br/>“Of course, m’lady, at once.” The servant disappeared into the dark chambers of Riverred Castle, soon followed by lord and lady Tullison.<br/><br/><div align=""center"">***</div><br/><strong>Where:</strong>Riverred, training grounds<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Alyssin<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/EdricTullison_zpse4041ffd.jpg)</div>“It’s your turn, sweet sister,” said Edric, handing a quiver full of arrows to the blond-haired girl. “Better make it a good one as you might not be able to do it anymore.”<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/HowellRivers_zps8fa2f4ba.jpg)</div>“I wonder if Northerners are as wild as they say,” mused the bastard boy, with no parents, only his name to tell everyone of their shame. “Maybe if they do take after wildlings, they will allow a lady a bow, you know,” he said and shrugged his shoulders.<br/><br/>“Arwel, your mother was a Greystark. You’d know.” The Tullison heir smiled, showing his white teeth, and nudged the brown-haired young man.<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/ArwelTullison_zps41489e51.jpg)</div>“I was seven when my parents died.

In private.”<br/><br/>“Ah, I see…” Edric blushed, realizing what Arwel had just said.<br/><br/>“You dirty scoundrel,” Howell Rivers, the bastard, laughed aloud. So loud, in fact, that none of the four youngsters had heard the steps of their boy servant, Travis.<br/><br/>“M’lady, m’lords,” his voice was shaking, “your lady mother says you should best get ready ‘fore they arrive.

His secondborn daughter, the red-haired and well-mannered Wylla, the brown-haired twins, Daeron and Dalia, and his heir, Davyn. His heir, but not his first son, as he would always lament. Not that he didn’t care for Davyn – Davyn meant the world to him, but it didn’t change the fact that he was not his firstborn Wyl. Randall had lost his firstborn son during Robert’s Rebellion, in one of his house’s skirmishes against the Greystarks. Wyl was barely a child back then and so was his opponent.<div class=""floatright"">(http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k388/eryrwyn/DavynWisent_zps230fe84f.jpg)</div><br/><br/>The younger brother of the current lord Greystark. Tybolt Greystark. He remembered the name very well. Every night he would pray to gods, both Old and New, for the man’s severed head and the chance to wield a sword against him, to pierce his heart and rip it out of his chest. But he couldn’t get him. He could get any other member of House Greystark, but not Tybolt, because Tybolt was gone. Disappeared right after the rebellion finished, deriving Randall of his vengeance.<br/><br/>He had tried to forgive the rest of the Greystarks though. He had made his move, he had offered his secondborn daughter, Wylla, to wed the Greystark heir. Lewys wouldn’t hear of it however. He said he had already promised to unite his house and the house of his late wife, Tullisons. He should thank lord Lewys for putting a brilliant idea into his head with this information. He smiled, looking at his youngest daughter Dalia, then turning his eyes so that they rested on Wylla’s red hair. He did get what he wanted in the end. He wasn’t accustomed to being said “no” and wouldn’t take it for an answer. He pressed and pressed, until House Greystark and Wisent arrived at a consensus that Wisent was content with. They would bury the hatchet soon.<br/><br/>They had arrived in the Tullison castle soon. They sent out a couple of riders ahead to tell of their arrival. By the time they reached the gates, they were let in and greeted by the Tullisons servants who directed them to the castle hall where every member of the family waited. Lord Aeron in his red and blue clothes, beautifully adorned with flames and waves. Lady Alleria, looking particularly striking in her blue-red gown with a similar motif to the one on her husband’s tunic. Their heir and only son, boy of seventeen named Edric; and the beautiful purple-eyed bride whose wedding they had come to attend.<br/><br/>“Welcome to Riverred!” said lord Aeron as he approached lord Randall and smiled. “How has the road been?”<br/><br/>“I’m sure it’s been less hospitable than we are going to be,” chimed in the young Tullison heir, what got a laugh from lord Randall and his sons.<br/><br/>“Right you are, lad!” he smiled and greeted everyone in turn, stopping by Alyssin and kneeling before her to kiss her hand, “Isn’t that our beautiful bride?”<br/><br/>Soon, they were all seated with a wealth of different meals being served. Most of them included fish of some kind, which was only logical considering the trout in Tullison’s coat-of-arms. The children were seated next to one another, leaving lords to talk about politics and business, while the progeny got a chance to get to know one another. The Wisent boys were soon laughing out loud after Arwel, Alyssin’s cousin, had told them a bawdy joke. The eighteen years old Dalia smiled at Alyssin and whispered, “You’re so beautiful. I wish I had your eyes.”"

She knew that the thought was quite ridiculous since the girl was used to doing pretty much everything that wasn't expected from a lady. By no means was she a tomboy, but Alyssin didn't like being confined to her duties as a lady since she found them boring. Knitting was for septas and old ladies that could no longer walk or think straight with their minds. Besides, it was not like she was going to join an army and go off to be an archer. This was just bonding time for the Tullison children. Growing up around boys did have its advantages after all.<br/><br/>Allysin turned to her mother's balcony, letting out a small laugh as she patted her brother's arm and pointed to their angry mother. ""I can't make mother mad when she is always that way with us. I can only make her even angrier by training with you out here. That woman wants me to be useless spinster for the rest of my life, Edric. And the last thing I want to do is give her the satisfaction of seeing me like that.""<br/><br/>Allysin brushed a bright red as she heard Arwel speaking of private 'brawling' encounters between his parents. She turned to them, feeling a little uncomfortable by being the only woman standing there. She laughed a little and simply shook it off, putting on her gloves so she wouldn't damage her soft hands with the bow and arrow. She closed her eyes for a moment as she prepared what could be her last arrow and pulled it back slowly, positioning herself in the stance her father had taught her in the past. She pulled back the arrow and took a deep breath, allowing her hands to become steady before releasing the arrow.<br/><br/>As Allysin looked to where the arrow had pointed, she gave Edric a charming smile and curtsied before him. Her arrow had landed near the line of the bullseye, although it wasn't there just yet. ""Well, if this is my last shot of my entire life, at least I'm proud of it. And it seems like our guests have arrived. I have to go change and be a lady!

Despite claiming that she couldn't care for her duties as a ladies, she was a young girl that liked looking good no matter what the circumstances were. After getting rid of the grey dress she used for riding, Alyssin had her servants help her put on the dress that she had the seamstress make for her especially. The dress was a homage to the Targaryen blood that ran though her veins without being too literal. She put on a shorter version of a fur coat and headed downstairs, taking a deep breath as she entered the hall.<br/><br/>Alyssin looked like a true Targaryen princess in her black gown accented with red details. She was wearing a black choker around her neck with three pendants. She walked inside and took a deep breath, giving everyone the charming smile that she was known for. Alyssin was known for both her grace and beauty and she could feel some eyes on her as she moved over to the table. She noticed her father and came over to stand at his side, smiling at him.<br/><br/>""Papa! I'm glad our guests have arrived. It's nice to finally make your  acquaintance, Lord Wisent."" Alyssin curtsied politely and blushed slightly as her hand was kissed, leaving them talk about politics and going to seat with the rest of the young women that had arrived. She took a seat and looked back at Dalia, giving her a warm smile. ""Thank you, m'lady. I could teach you a few things to make your eyes shine if you're interested. Tell me, what is your name?"""

He was surprised to see the red robes - of an acolyte of R’hllor no less, as maester Owell quickly pointed out. Lewys greeted his brother, clasping forearms with him. He smiled and turned their welcome into a brotherly hug, “I can scarcely believe it… Welcome home, brother.” His blue eyes sparkled, “I suppose Grey did say the truth when he said he knew where you have been and that he could deliver a letter to your hands. Gods be good I never put faith in… whisperers like that one. It seems they do know their… craft.” Everyone in the castle knew how Lewys felt about those who didn’t swing a sword, but played with secrets. There was no greater virtue than honour to him and a mere thought of deception drove him mad. No whisperer graced House Greystark’s lands… or so it seemed. Lewys must have felt quite strongly about sending a message to his brother if he had gone to such measures as to work with lord Varys’ accomplice.<br/><br/>Both Owell and Lowell had heard of the one they called “Grey”. A whisperer, an informant extraordinaire, one of lord Varys’ men… Or that’s how the story they had heard went.<br/><br/>Lady Maiev wasn’t as quick to accept the change in her son as others in the dining hall were however. She allowed him to embrace her, confusion written on her heavily wrinkled face. Her verdant green eyes seemed to pierce the man before her, “I thought you had… I…” She was lost for word, perhaps the first time in her life. “No, no, no!” she shrieked, “You’re the burning man, you’re fire, you’ll be the death of us! How dare you bring fire and destruction to us! You’ve betrayed your true gods, the Old Gods. You’ve shamed me and your ancestors!” Her mood changed suddenly as her eyes seemed to burst with inner fire.<br/><br/>Maiev had always been a truly pious Old Gods believer, but it was after the rebellion and death of her husband, daughter and daughter-in-law that she had found them anew. Soon after lord Lewys became the head of house and the arrival of maester Owell, Maiev disappeared for a long time. No one knew where she was. Search parties were dispatched to find the grieving woman, but it was only after more than two months of searching that they even caught trace of her. She was taken captive by wildlings who had fled from beyond the Wall. Realizing they were being tracked, they disappeared into the frozen lands beyond the Wall – with few slaves they had kidnapped, including lady mother Greystark. Thanks to maester Owell’s idea of sending ravens everywhere in the North, including the Night’s Watch, lord Greystark managed to find his mother. He mounted a research party and with Night’s Watch support raided a wildling camp and freed his mother. Ever since that day she was even more pious. For the first two weeks she wouldn’t even sleep in the castle, insisting on sleep in the roots of the heart tree in the Greystark godswood. Only when a sapling of the tree was planted in her chamber, did she decide to move back to living like a noble would. She would go to the godswood every day and care for it herself.<br/><br/>“I will not have the Red God in my home!” she said finally, before sitting down on a chair pulled out for her by Lowell.<br/><br/>“Mother, calm down.” Lord Lewys’ voice was strong. “Little brother,” he addressed Tybolt, “while I can’t say I’m happy about the robes you wear or the god you worship, you’re still welcome in my home. Your home as well, no matter what mother thinks of it,” he added with a whisper. “But try not to anger our gods.”<br/><br/>Erik and Elise were not sure about their long lost uncle. They were only three years old when Tybolt had left and could not remember the man at all. Elise seemed shy, while Erik… shy was the last thing that came to mind when looking at the boy. “Glad to see you, uncle!” His grey eyes looked at the robed figure before as if looking for something, “Will you spar with me? What's the fighting like where you lived? Show me! I’m sure father would take you on!”<br/><br/>“That’s enough, Erik,” Lewys chipped in, “you will not tire your uncle even further. We’ve got a long journey to Riverred ahead of us.”<br/><br/>“Then we can fight once we’re there!” Erik suggested.<br/><br/>“No matter, I have an important piece of news to share with you, now that you’re all here…” Lewys looked at his younger brother and closed his eyes for a second, gathering his thoughts. “I’ve decided to remarry.”<br/><br/>Out of all the other people in the dining hall, only two knew of lord Lewys’ intention – maester Owell and steward Deryl."

Until he set foot within the grey stone keep, it really hadn't sunk in just how much he had missed this place. Now, seeing his family spread out before him, welcoming (for the most part) him back with open arms...  it was better than he had expected. He only hoped that the reasons for his departure had settled down, or perhaps even died out. That would be a blessing from R'hllor indeed.<br/><br/>His mother, however, didn't seem to be handling things as well, however. Which wasn't entirely surprising. She was so ingrained with the Old Gods... it was sad, really. Tybolt had never felt much empathy for those Gods, they always seemed empty, unreal even, to him. It wasn't until he'd felt the warmth of the Fire god that he knew true faith and pure devotion.<br/><br/>""I betray no true gods, Mother,"" he said gently, ""I found them.""<br/><br/>Tybolt finished making his way around the table, glad for each of his family members and happy with how they had all grown up. He gave a soft, gentle laugh at Erik's eagerness and questions about the fighting. ""It is very different there than it is here,"" he said, ""Perhaps there will be time to show you.""<br/><br/>Tybolt then moved to take the seat that Leynir had graciously vacated, sitting near the head of the table by his brother. His eyes followed the large wolf as it stayed close to Leynir and Tybolt smirked softly, ""I see the blood of the North is as strong as ever in our family.<br/><br/>Once they were all seated, he smiled from one end of the table to the other. ""It is good to be back,"" he said, ""I only wish it could have been sooner."" Then he focused his steady gaze on Leynir and his smile widened slightly more, ""But the cause behind it could not be a better one. This day will be blessed indeed.""<br/><br/>But it seemed like this day held one more surprise... Tybolt's brother was going to remarry. The Priest's eyes widened in surprise as he looked towards his elder brother. ""R'hllor's light,"" Tybolt half cursed  in surprise, ""Is this true? Do you already someone in mind?"" Tybolt didn't think his brother would ever remarry, though he could hardly fault him for it. Still, it seemed like an odd time to bring it up.."

But the old woman continued on, curing R'hllor and Tybolt for serving the Flame God. He wanted to say something, but his grandmother had a tongue sharper than any blade, and he didn't want to be on the receiving end of one of her tirades. Thankfully his father spoke to her with authority; she was his mother, but he was still lord of Greyhold. He himself wasn't sure how he felt about Tybolt donning the red robes.<br/><br/>It felt like a betrayal to the Old Gods, but he was his uncle and he loved him. Ten years could be a lifetime, and much could have happened to make him convert. Only time would tell he supposed. He chuckled when Erik was just Erik, and the first thing out of his mouth was wondering if Tybolt could spar with him. That boy always wanted to fight, as if Leynir himself and a few others hadn't knocked him on his ass enough times during sparing sessions. The elbow in the side by Lowell hadn't gone unnoticed, and he gave the boy a look that said he'd get him back later, but it was all in good fun.<br/><br/>At least he was determined. In truth he too was curious of how things were done in Essos; maybe he'd watch, or spar with his uncle a little when given the time. After Tybolt took his seat, he looked to Longtooth with a bit of approval, stating the strength of the families blood. ""Aye. Found him as a pup and raised him myself. He's as loyal a companion as any man could ask for, and deadly in a fight as well. Teeth like blades he has. Isn't that right, Longtooth.""<br/><br/>His wolf wagged his tail at the praise and when his master scratched his ears. He nodded his head when the bald man said today would indeed be blessed. ""Thank you, uncle."" After that, his father gave news that no one had expected, and he was sure he heard someone gasp. ""You plan to remarry? Father that's wonderful news!"" His father was a strong man, but Leynir was perceptive. He knew his father was hurting still for the loss of his wives, and a man needed more than whores for companionship. ""Is this a recent decision? Do we know the lucky lady?"""

It almost revealed her tits. Who in their right mind would wear something like that in public. Wylla knew not to mention anything about it, but kept watching how the young bride-to-be was making herself out to her brothers, like they would not know she was to marry to another northener of the cursed Greystarks, or was there an ulterior motive how she was giving them glances.

He is Tybolt first, regardless of who he feels has given him strength. Wouldn't you agree?"" He gave a warm smile to Maiev, the latter question there not only to get his Grandmother to calm down, but it was an opening for her to save face. He gave her hand another soft squeeze before he turned to face the room again. His eyes trailed past Tybolt's face, and he gave an apologetic crooked smile; as if Maiev's middle grandchild was more responsible for her actions than Maiev's son himself.<br/><br/>The word of Lowell's father intending to marry seemed to bring joy to majority of the room. Lowell had no sooner picked up a metal fork before he set it back down with clatter that contrasted the elated noises. He cleared his throat softly before picking up his fork again. His eyes went down to his food as he collected some of the breakfast on his fork, speaking sternly, but his voice carried that lilt that made it hard to pin-point what he was saying as aggressive, ""Yes, Father.

The large brown hawk perched on his shoulder caw'd and ruffled its feathers as if to emphasize the point. The necromancer had impressed him; he was able to identify the origin of Hazamir's scar and even claimed to know who the dagger belonged to. When he was able to describe that human woman in detail to him, that sealed the deal. But he still did not trust the necromancer, or his version of the war. It was not trust that caused him to sell his soul, but desperation.<em>Sindra Starsong.</em>He repeated the name in his head like a mantra<br/><br/>He walked to a corner of the room between Asara and Torrin, drew a small skinning knife, and knelt. Into a slab of blank grey stone, Hazamir began to carve out a symbol. It showed a humanoid figure within the trunk of a tree.

Clasping his hands together in prayer, he sought guidance from this elvish saint.<br/><br/>""Father Tarathiel, though I am beyond your reach, please extend your gaze and love upon me in this place of death.

They are all praying to their various gods and goddesses for guidance and aid, even though it will probably do nothing in the coming battle....swords, spears and skill win wars, not Gods or Demons - unless they are actually there in the flesh, which he admits, could happen - and they should be helping the fortification of the town. Instead, they are stuck in here, making sure that the statues are properly tended to. He resists the urge to snort; for somebody like Dawn, whose powers rely on praying, he can understand, but the others? Not so much. Druid doesn't know if he was a religious person or not, whether he worshipped the Gods of the Forest or any one God in particular, but newly raised? No, he sees no need to placate omnipotent beings that may or may not be there. He has not had personal experiences of them, he has not seen them or heard from them since he woke up, and so he doesn't actually think that even if they exist, they would be particularly interested in talking to him. He has all the power he needs in his veins right now, and the strength does not seem to diminish when he makes a blasphemous remark or thought...so even if they do exist, they obviously don't mind his disrespect all that much. Maybe because they're cooking up some horrible torment for him after his death, but he will think about that when he dies. Again. Really, death isn't the obstacle people make it out to be. He died - rather violently, if his gravesite and the condition of his corpse was anything to go by - and look at him now. Whilst not exactly healthy, he is walking and talking and fighting, which is more than many, many people can say. Of course, he lost his memories - thanks to the botch job that Streban made of the ritual - and that is more than a little inconvenient, but his answers are out there somewhere and the nature of this world is such that if you keep going your own way, your answers will find you. And even if they don't, he can hope that if he dies, he will regain his old memories upon shedding this mortal shell.<br/><br/>Druid shifts his considerable weight, and crosses his large arms. He is big - about six feet - with broad shoulders and a heavily muscled frame. He is not subtle by any stretch of the imagination, and if he moves, you will know about it. His arms are like treetrunks, big, thick and solid, and match the build of his legs. Imagine a great bear in human form. That's pretty much the stature that Druid has; big and strong and extremely intimidating to your average human. His hood is pulled down, revealing his long black braids - that used to be matched by a big bushy beard, but after it shrivelled up and died, becoming just a collection of whispy little whiskers, he had to shave - that fall down about his neck. He surveys the room, pursing his lips. They have to somehow repel an invasion from one of the Traitor Heroes armies, with very little preparation time, very few soldiers, no mages, no heavy artillery and only basic fortifications. Somehow, he has a horrible feeling about the coming fight, and he knows that it is likely that the others have considered it as well. They may be untrustworthy killers - Hazamir is borderline racist - but they aren't all stupid. He eyes the elf, but doesn't say anything. He may not like it, but Hazamir will fight or he will die with the rest of them. And then where would his vengeance be? No, they are all bound together, for good or ill, and at the moment they must trust each other. He knows of some of the crimes of some of his companions pasts, and he knows that Streban himself would not normally be the kind of man that a druid would ally with, but necessity makes for interesting bedfellows. In all honesty, Druid doesn't know why he agreed to be raised, but he did...and now he is bound to the quest through an oath he cannot remember. Maybe answers, as he said, will find him eventually.<br/><br/>He lets out a great breath, and steps forwards, completely ignoring Deanora. He doesn't trust her at all, and whilst her question was a good one, it is not the one that needs asking. Hopefully, his question will be answered in a way that also answers hers. She is not a battlefield expert, and he highly doubts that any of them truly appreciate the position that they are in, high as they are off of the other days easy victory. ""Streban,"" he rumbles. Despite his size, his voice is actually relatively quiet and mild, though it is capable of making cutting remarks where necessary. He almost never raises his voice - no need, when you're the size of Druid; if he talks, people tend to listen - but his presence is obvious nonetheless. ""I hope you have a plan. Unless you have one, this town will fall and we will all die...again."" Even he knows the basics of battle. If their plan is to just man the walls and hope that they can hold them off, then they are all in for a nasty shock. They are all skilled individuals, that is not in doubt, but they are only a handful against an entire army. The ordinary undead are ok-ish soldiers, but they are vastly outnumbered and outgunned. ""Surely, you would not lead us to seize a town without a plan in place to hold it against the inevitable counterattack?"" Unless Streban has something truly magnificent up his sleeve, the battle can only go one way....and even if they do somehow win, that will only result in an even bigger, more well equipped army marching on their location, hitting them with so much force that they can't even hope to win. Even if each of their soldiers killed ten men for every one of theirs that fell, it would not be enough. He looks at Streban critically. He has had cause to doubt the mans leadership in the past, but if he seized this town without a plan to hold it, he is a bigger fool than Druid thought.<br/><br/>He doesn't know much about battle - he might have in his last life, for all he knows, but right now he doesn't - but it doesn't take a tactical mastermind to see that they are in an extremely desperate position. Artillery? Mages? They are outclassed. They need a plan if they are to win, and he doesn't think that Streban has one. If he does, he hasn't explained it to them and that is just as dangerous. Not explaining the plan to the rank and file soldiers, he can understand, but to his supposedly trusted companions? The main party? They need to be in on it so they can all do their best to see that it succeeds. It is true, of course, that no plan survives contact with the enemy, but even having an idea of what you want to accomplish and how you're going to do it is important for anybody fighting a battle. No great General who ever won a battle or a campaign went in with absolutely no idea how they were going to do it. Unfortunately, simply making it up as you go along will not win you anything in life, and they<em>need a plan.</em>Castor won't care - that single minded, brutish simpleton will stab anything you point him at - and Hazamir is too arrogant to consider the thought of them losing...as for Deanora, well, she worships Streban. If he says it will be fine, she'll believe him. Druid? He's more realistic than that. If they don't have a plan or some secret weapon up their sleeves, they will lose. He shifts his weight as he look sat Streban, waiting for an answer. He certainly hopes that it's a satisfactory one."

Paladin then. Did she like the fact that the town of Whitewillow, her home and her charge, was now filled with the people of Whitewillow raised as undead again? Certainly not. But she didn't have a choice in the matter, and she also saw the tactical wisdom in having them as soldiers. She tried to justify it by saying to herself they were coming back to avenge the lives they lost, and save those not yet lost. But to the survivors who managed to flee Whitewillow's sacking, Dawn had not the heart to tell them that their loved ones were now undead soldiers in the army of a necromancer. And so she merely warned them to flee as far as they could, to go and find refuge in her northern homeland of Tolhelm if possible. War was a-brewing in the Kingdom. Caede, already ravaged by demons, would now be swept up in their rebellion, their stand against the corrupt High King. They would be safer far from the chaos here.<br/><br/>The Paladin shrugged when the Necromancer asked his question. She opened her mouth to answer, but that murderer...that Manhunter spoke first, and she kept her piece. Killing her kind was indeed his area of expertise. Which was precisely why she would like nothing more than to cut him down where he stood. But so long as he was a part of their little band of misfits, she would have to stay her hand. ""Ironic. A dealer of death asking for love he does not deserve. Poison in your soul indeed. I guess that is the only explanation for the blood on your hands. Fathers, sons, mothers, daughters. Even if the necromancer were not to be here, the dead of this town would rise again to tear you apart."" Dawn muttered as she Streban continued his speech and the Manhunter spoke his prayers. Among the many humans slain by Hazamir's hand, some hailed from Whitewillow. As their protector, she naturally had an intense dislike for the serial killer praying, yes, praying before her.<br/><br/>""Hardly an inspiring speech, necromancer. But I guess that is why you deal with armies of the dead; they need no speeches, merely direction. But you will have your victory. Whitewillow will not fall twice to the same enemy. Not while I draw breath. I owe it to the town."" Deanora then spoke, and the hardened, fierce expression on Dawn's face, the burning glare in her emerald eyes, softened. Deanora had been very warm and friendly to Dawn when they had first met, conversation followed, chemistry sparked, and they could now be considered friends already in the few days they had known each other. She could not answer Deanora's question though, it was meant for Streban, and so all she offered was a brief smile in her friend's direction. Druid, and Druid was the man's name for now, asked if the necromancer had a plan. Did he have one? Probably. But even if he didn't, she could easily take care of that part. But she would wait to see if the necromancer had one before giving her own suggestions. Druid did raise what would be normally a valid concern about being outnumbered, but that mattered little with the undead and people like herself. And the numbers were not insurmountable. The artillery was a concern, but a battalion of Siegebreakers was manageable with their forces, as were the complement of rangers. She had cut down countless number of Siegebreakers on her way to her fateful duel with Vannor Stonehammer...and as she would cut them down again this time, Streban would probably raise them to fight against their former comrades, helping to nullify the problem about being outnumbered. And a powerful necromancer like Streban could most likely also re-raise the dead as they fell. Strategically, that was valuable. Some would question her approval of his methods, but she never approved of the necromancer's methods, and would gladly tell that to anyone who asked. However, she had to tolerate them, just as she had to tolerate Hazamir's presence.<br/>"

In mere minutes they would be in battle with an enemy that was superior in every way, and they had yet to be given an inkling of what he'd planned to do to ensure they wouldn't be slaughtered again. He would have been deeply disappointed if his chosen were so delusional that they would not ask such questions and merely trust him, considering that they had no reason to take his word. He was going to give them an answer.<br/><br/>""Do you all know why the Siegebreakers came in force to destroy this one little town, and why they are throwing such an incredible amount of force against it when they could easily win this battle with even a tenth of the forces soon to be arrayed against us?""<br/><br/>He plucked Allana out of his lap and rose to his full height of only five feet ten inches tall, but Streban was one of those rare individuals who had a presence that could (and had) cowed giants and kings, and stared directly at the Druid.<br/><br/>""For someone who claims to know the land and its spirits so well, you seem to be surprisingly deaf to the spirits that sing around us even now -  the spirits of the countless dead who have perished on this very land over the millennia, the unquiet souls of legions who gave their lives in conflicts long-past to claim this stretch of land that sits at a crossroads between worlds.""<br/><br/>then he swept his gaze over each of them in turn.<br/><br/>""There is a reason why all that lives and grows here is as pale as a corpse - the energies of the afterlife suffuse this town and the lands surrounding it. Numerous settlements have existed and been destroyed here, by war or plague or famine, in each age since the beginning of time.""<br/><br/>he looked specifically at Dawn when he said his next words. ""Men and elves, dwarves and orcs and other races long-vanished have lived and died on this land. Fathers, sons, mothers, daughters - all have perished, most before their time. Suffice it to say they are not happy. But i'll give you all an example of what. exactly, I plan to do in order to see us to victory today as soon as we open the gates and take the field.""<br/><br/>Take the field? That was, to say the least, insane - their chances of victory in a siege were nearly zero, but if they threw open the gate and actually engaged the royal army, they'd surely be slaughtered. And making his dramatic timing even better, Streban made that decision not a moment too soon, because the first sounds of the impending siege - a series of terrific crashes, most likely ballistae firing into the towns walls - began.<br/><br/>""Allana and Dawn. I have a special mission for you two. There are spies lurking about the town, hatching a plan to break the morale of the people and undermine its defenses if it appears that we'll win. They've turned a sizeable portion of the still-living people to their cause. Get out in the streets, find them, and deal with them - look for the naysayers and doomspeakers. You'll find them easily enough, of that you can be certain. Expose them, and deal with them however you see fit. Dead or alive, they will serve our purposes.""<br/><br/>Next he settled his eyes on Castor, Deanora and Hazamir.<br/><br/>""Deanora, there is a scroll upon Torrin's altar with all the ritual implements you'll need to perform the magic written upon it. When we leave here, perform that ritual, and you will understand what you must do afterward. Castor, you will accompany me to the gates along with what battle-ready forces we have, and you will kill every enemy soldier you encounter. Keep them off of me while I work my spells. Kill everything that is not already undead, and I will do the rest. Manhunter, there is a secret tunnel beneath this place that can be accessed from the priests chambers. Because priests are such creative sorts, it will of course be found behind a bookcase. that tunnel will take you outside the walls of the city if you follow the markers i've conveniently placed for you, and when you emerge you will find yourself in some familiar company. At that time, you will lead those you find there and do what you do better than anyone else in all the world - slay men who have trespassed where they are not welcome.""<br/><br/>There was another series of terrific crashes as the walls were pummeled again from the north by siege weaponry, and then another still as the east walls were likewise hammered by ballistae.<br/><br/>""Now go, and if any of you still doubt me after this, i'll free you from your obligations and send you on your way with my blessings. Now, everyone tend to your missions. If even one of you fails, we are doomed.""<br/><br/>With that, Streban picked up his scythe - a long, gnarled and blackened branch with a wickedly inward-curving blade affixed to one end, a weapon that most would find too unwieldy to consider as a serious weapon of war, but that according to legend Streban was absolutely masterful with. Hearing the stories were one thing, but seeing a scrawny spellcaster eagerly marching off to a battlefield was something else entirely.<br/><br/>""Come, Castor. We have widows and orphans to make.""<br/><br/>And then Streban strode out of the church, throwing open its double doors and stepping out into the paved streets. He didn't seem the least bit concerned that he was about to throw open the gates of his stronghold to the most powerful army in the land."

I think I know what the deadtalker is planning, and you look like the kind of beast I'd want to bring to a fight.""<br/><br/>Hazamir did not hide his disdain for humans. In his eyes, only the Orcs surpassed them in brutality and ignorance. Dwarves have the decency to keep to themselves, and Halflings could have potential were they not still bound to the will of their human masters. Humans, however, just take and take with no regard for the repercussions of their actions. Their history is rife with crimes and atrocities, yet they have the gall to act offended when another race chooses to protect their own interests. That is why Hazamir hasn't even yet bothered to look in the direction of the Paladin. That level of righteousness infuriates him. He'd have killed her already if he wasn't soul-bound to work with her.<br/><br/>Druids were a different matter. Hazamir considered them to be truly enlightened, elevated past their limitations. It took true understanding with the natural order to channel power from it, and with it came knowledge that humans seemed to so conveniently ignore. That's why he held no ill will toward this human in particular. In fact, the man's lack of memories would likely make him even easier to deal with.<br/><br/>He pushed through the wooden door in the back of the temple where the village priest once made his home. It was a predictably simple room; small, with four stone walls. There was a single bed with a night table beside it, a well-read book of scripture sitting on it with a burnt out candle. Across from the bed was the bookcase that Streban had mention, littered with various religious texts and icons of faith. Sunshadow flapped its wings restlessly as the elf took slow steps across the dark room. He'd been inside this building too long, and was losing his patience.<br/><br/>""Just a little longer now, friend, and you will have the skies of Whitewillow as your own.""<br/><br/>He ran a finger along the underside of the Hawk's neck gently, but it just took a sideways step on his shoulder, away from his touch. ""Impertinent."" Hazamir scoffed, then turned his attention to examine the bookcase in front of him.<br/><br/>""Now where would a man of faith hide the means of their salvation?"""

The taciturn man hadn't done much to raise himself in her estimation from the first moment she clapped eyes upon him but her respect for Streban's foresight that had her not casually muse in Castor's earshot how much better she'd enjoy the company gathered should their number be absent one self important, taciturn gentleman. Thinking of Castor had her turn her gaze to her slave and favor him with a warm and beatific smile as the sounds of warfare and the rhythms of seige engine fire reverberated through the temple. Her eyes let him know she thought he was in his element and that soon he was to unleash his magnificent martial might uopn those whose deaths would undoubtably swell the ranks of the Necromancer's armies.<em>Someday soon High King,</em>she swore, again, to herself in the silence of her soul.<br/><br/>Deanora's smile next went to Dawn and she dipped her head in greeting to the Paladin who had jioned their cause after a sojourn in the land of death. She considered her a friend even though that relationship hadn't been tempered by the fires of adversity as of yet. Still, she'd found Dawn wise beyond her years and kind at heart, a rare combination for this crew the Necromancer had gathered. Deanora's attention went back to the Necromancer when he gave her her instructions. She nodded and kept in her spot until he'd issued everyone their orders, then, rather then going to the statue first, she went to Castor and hooked her fingers around the bottom edge of his ever present helmet to pull him down to her eye level. She gazed into the eye sockets of his helmet and said in a hard and sharp tone, ""I do NOT release you this day... Do all duty by Streban... And return to me bathed in the blood of the enemy and covered in Glory..."" Then she wrapped her other arm around his waist and pressed herself to him adding softly, ""... Do so... And you will be rewarded well for pleasing me...""<br/><br/>Deanora then released her oathsworn warrior and gave Dawn the sort of look that wished her good luck and endless patience. She then went to collect the gear and scroll that would guide her through the ritual. As people filtered out of the chamber to take up their assigned duties or flee, she focused more and more of her attention on the scroll wanting to commit it's contents to memory before beginning to follow any of its instructions. She'd learned in her time of tutelage with the Necromancer that just as an archer spends time at targets honing the art of fluidly notching an arrow, drawing back, breathing then releasing her arrow, a Mage must aply the same deep, intentional focus to the preparations of their endevors. She was nervous as she realized that in her own way, the part she was to pllay was an important piece of Streban's plan and failure could cost all of them more then they realized. She used this time to calm herself and reach into the places inside her where her power resided, re-committing herself to this work of theirs and vowing, silently, to put all of herseld into achieving success or die trying."

No warrior would subject himself to treatment like that. However things were not as they seemed, although he disgraced Grom by accepting the deal to spare his life. That was still something he felt ashamed about the fear of dying that made him weak. However years of service to Deanora had left the man thankful for the moment. Up to that point he had never felt fear before and now he controls it. In a sense Deanora made him a far better warrior.<br/><br/>Of course that alone didn't explain the reason the warrior didn't seek to free himself from his mistress's grip. That reason belonged mostly in the fact that Castor ,or Sigurd as he is known now, was in love with her. He absolutely hated the feeling and despised that it existed in his being but there was no ignoring it. Even as the sorceress pressed that beautiful body against him staring through the helmet into his eyes there was no mistaking the faster beating of his heart. Not that he would ever admit it. From the outside to even Deanora he was playing the servile slave.<br/><br/>Underneath that ever present helmet (http://www.displaystatues.com/images/080049GLSL.jpg) no voice acknowledge his mistress's orders or the necromancer's summons. The warrior was dead quiet as was customary for the man. Steel talked far better then any voice could. Looking through the helmet's eye holes he regarded the motley lot before him. Was this supposed to stop the might of a trained professional army? It was truly laughable almost that the necromancer was so sure of his victory. Men like him think they understand Grom but they are just conceited fools, ignorant of what it means to be a true disciple of Grom. Victory is never assured but he doubted that Streban knew the teachings. As much as he doubted that the man had actually learned under Grom himself. Castor was Grom's fallen protege and he planned to repent with his life blood.<br/><br/>The only person out of the companions around him that stood out was Dawn the Paladin. Her beauty shone like her armor and it caused several things to stir in Castor. Shaded eyes gazed at the woman's form which was so obviously tempered by battle. Strong woman were something of a weakness for the warrior. Those green eyes seemed to a light with a fire that outstripped her undead status. She looked so alive for being dead. That he could give to the necromancer, he did do good work. Everyone else for now registered on a basic tactical level, elf hunter, human tree fucker and ditzy meatshield. They were to topple a kingdom with this lot.<br/><br/>Walking outside with Streban, Castor let Gram slide out of his scabbard with a hiss. Underneath his chain shirt muscles flexed as the excitement of battle washed over the warrior. Seeing the forces that he was supposed to command he could of laughed at the impossibility of the task but that was not the way of a son of Grom.

24190,The Necromancer's Servants [Dungeon World] - General IC,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=202598.0,"16-05-2014, 21:30:47",eternaldarkness,"<strong>Hazamir and Druid</strong><br/><br/>Knowing that it was there, it was easy for Hazamir to spot the minute scrapes where the bookcase had been moved in the past, and even easier for him to move it aside and see the false wall behind it, which was actually a wooden facade skilfully painted to appear like stone. Moving it aside he saw the narrow (barely five feet wide) tunnel beyond, and when he stepped into it torches sprang to life and lit his way with pale white soulfire seemingly of their own accord every few feet - most likely that was the necromancers doing. He wouldn't have to go in very far before he saw the markings, written in elven, that would direct him to various places in the tunnels beneath the town and beyond it. Some were marked 'danger' with extensive notes on the sorts of danger one might find - mostly giant spiders, and one set of markings pointed the way down a side tunnel that would apparently lead to the necromancers laboratory and workshop. The tunnel hazamir wanted was fairly straightforward though - it cut north out of the town, and judging by the sounds echoing from within it it must be very long indeed. The tunnels also explained how it was that the necromancer moved around the town in secret, as several of them connected to other structures within the town.<br/><br/><strong>Deanora</strong><br/><br/>It quickly became apparent to the sorceress what her master intended - the scroll contained a complex calling spell, one akin to the necromancy he wielded, but written in an odd mix of the draconic language and the common tongue (which was itself a debased version of Draconic). As always, Streban was thorough and had left notes on the scroll to aid her in properly performing the powerful and delicate ritual, including the name of the creature she would be calling forth from a deathlike slumber - Sultana Nugri, which roughly translated to 'endless hunger' in the old draconic tongue, and even reading the name made her head throb in pain as she sensed the slumbering creatures fury and outarge even in its deathlike sleep.<br/><br/>The ritually cleansed and prepared implements, including a dagger made from what Deanora knew was a tooth from a true dragon and a reddish powder which she would quickly identify as being more powdered dragonscale and fire ruby, were ready for her use - she only needed to add a bit of her own blood, speak the very exacting incantations, and gather the power drawn from her masters many tithed souls. It would be difficult - one mispronunciation or incorrectly done step could be disastrous, but Streban had trained her well for this - he'd done all he could to help her perfect her intonation and pay excruciating attention to every detail of both her spells and her surroundings, and now his harsh and often near-abusive training would make more sense to her.<br/><br/><strong>Dawn and Allana</strong><br/>As it turned out, the necromancer was right. The streets were empty except for the few militia and undead soldiers hustling about, preparing for the coming battle, and any civilians they did see were being funneled toward their homes or the towns tavern - most had been assigned tasks to help with the fight, such as being stationed in teams strategically throughout the town to serve as a fire brigade that would try to contain the inevitable blazes that would occur, and even they were armed as best as could be managed, mostly with old heirloom weapons or tools repurposed as weapons. The fire brigades were littered with a few undead members, most likely because they were untiring and unafraid of injury or dangers. It was one such brigade that the princess and paladin discovered as they moved from the square toward the large tavern, and outside was a wizened old man in the robes and cloth cap of a scribe, whose neatly-trimmed beard and scholarly demeanor were clearly deceiving as he captured the attention of a brigade with a rousing speech.<br/><br/>""Fools! All of us! This town will never stand up against an assault from the kings forces! All of you have sold yourselves to a wicked purveyor of dark magics, and only to be destroyed again when the High King's armies wash over us! We must surrender and throw ourselves on the kings mercy if we've any chance of victory! To do otherwise is madness.""<br/><br/>Allana and Dawn, please make a Discern Realities move for me.<br/><br/><strong>Castor</strong><br/>When Castor began his song it was like every one of the soldiers, both living and undead, had their spines replaced with steel rods aas the previous terrified and dejected fighters stood up straight and almost as one stared across the snow-white grassy field outside the gate. Even Streban stood a bit taller as he gazed across the field and saw what he'd expected - a thousand or so feet ahead of them, arrayed across the field, was staggered and expertly-erected wall of iron-banded wooden bulwarks six feet high, each five feet wood and set on wheels so that they could be moved forward as the battle progressed. Every section of wall had a team of four hard-eyed dwarven fighters in thick chainmail wielding axes, heavy warhammers and crossbows. Behind them huge Ballistae were lined up, siege weapons designed to crush even the hardest walls with their massive bolts. These were the famed siegebreakers, a force that had flattened countless forces throughout the ages and had never once been defeated. A quick estimate would put their numbers at close to four thousand strong based on the sheer number of bulwarks erected and the speed with which they'd sprung up. This looked like an impossible fight - they were outnumbered four to one, at least.<br/><br/>""Do not fear, Sigurd. I have not led us onto this field to die today, and we will certainly not be surrendering.""<br/><br/>The necromancer said as he strode out, motioning for sigurd and a handful of undead soldiers to follow. In Caedian warfare it was customary for the commanders of the opposing armies to parley before the battle began in hopes of finding some peaceful solution or brokering a surrender, and even demons honored that custom, though when the siege wall parted it was not a demon that greeted them, but a figure arrayed head to toe in thick plate armor fashioned from stone, a flame-read and intricately braided beard sticking out from beneath his full helm with an honor guard of exactly six other dwarves, as was the custom.<br/><br/>Time seemed to slow as the two groups crossed the white fields that would soon be stained crimson, and after what seemed like an eternity the they met in the exact middle of the field between the two opposing armies, and Streban stepped forward with castor at his side while the stone-armored dwarf, with his heavy stone-headed maul hanging at his side, did the same with another wide-shouldered fighter. Dwarf and Necromancer stared eachother down for a moment, and then the Dwarf opened up the ceremonial parley.<br/><br/>""Yer outnumbered an' ya got no way out. Give up now an' maybe the high king'll let yer rot int he dungeons insteada executin' ya.""<br/><br/>Streban actually laughed out loud at that.<br/><br/>""We both know that isn't going to happen. If we surrender your forces will just swarm in and kill everyone anyway. But let me extend that same generous offer to you - surrender and join me, and when I retake this land from that buttfucking traitor of a so-called king your men will be rewarded. Do otherwise, and you'll be dead within the hour. Or should I say, undead.""<br/><br/>What here is useful or valuable to me? - The enemy forces, while they outnumber your own, are spread rather thinly. If you could breach one section of their defensive wall it would be an easy matter to get the undead behind their ranks and fore them to fight in smaller squads, and as it happens the undead soldiers you have at your disposal are ideal for weathering a brutal defense long enough to breach a single section. You could even make a run for it now - it's less than 500 feet, a harrowing run, but with the armored undead  in the honor guard running interference you could do it, and even better the ballistae are useless this close up, and behind their wall the siege engineers and infantrymen there are more lightly armed and armored. Destroying those siege engines would be immensely helpful.<br/><br/>What here is not what it appears to be? - The dwarven fighters are all carrying glass flasks on their belts, and you have a good guess that those flasks are probably full of alchemists' fire, a sticky, burning liquid that ignites on contact with air. Most likely, the dwarves plan to deny Streban corpses to raise by setting themselves alight if they are dying. You can see another use for those deadly flasks, though.<br/><br/>What should I be on the lookout for? - As strange as it seems, the closer you are to the shield wall, the safer you are. The dwarves can't come out in great numbers if you press against the wall, and they can't mow you down with crossbow fire, plus fighting close to the wall denies the siegebreakers the space and mobility they need to swing their large axes and hammers.<br/><br/>Everyone Mark 1 xp for some fantastic posts. Castor, mark 2 xp. Yours really set the scene."
24191,The Necromancer's Servants [Dungeon World] - General IC,https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=202598.0,"17-05-2014, 14:40:19",Vergil Tanner,"Druid has to try hard not to scoff at Streban's puffed up arrogance. He meets Streban's stare levelly, not allowing himself to be intimidated by the mans stare...he will admit that he has an imposing presence for one so comparatively tiny, but once you have died and been reborn - and once you have lost all memory - nothing seems to scare you any more. For one, every memory that may have been there to subconsciously influence your fears and attitudes are, to put it bluntly, gone, so why would a hard stare scare you if you didn't remember anybody else who you respected giving you that look? Druid is not intimidated or impressed by Streban. By Nature, he doesn't even<em>respect</em>the man; this behaviour is not uncommon of Streban, from what he can tell, and if Streban does not respect Druid, why should Druid respect him? Secondly....what's he going to do? Kill him again, on the brink of battle? No. Druid is a deadly fighter, and they both know it. Besides, they have a contract, and he highly doubts that Streban would end it early over a minor disagreement and lose one of his ""elites,"" as he calls them. Druid's dark molten gold eyes stare back at the Necromancer, unimpressed and highly unamused. He is not impressed with this spellcasters bravado and little speech....even less so because he resorts to petty-minded, pathetic insults to make himself feel right. Whatever Streban is, he is<em>not</em>ignorant of his own craft, and so he knows that Druids simply cannot commune with the dead; he is right in that death is a part of nature, but it is<em>natural</em>for spirits to move on. Not to do so is<em>unnatural</em>and therefore not within a Druid's power. Streban would be a fool not to know this....so either he is a fool who is proving himself as such, or he is simply trying to make an ad hominem attack on Druid to make him seem foolish. That is the only reason that such a comment would be aired, and Druid does not particularly like it. Just because he himself cannot commune with the spirits of the damned does not make his question any less relevant. So. As well as being pompous and arrogant, Streban is also dishonest and petty. That is a poor checklist to be ticking, and Druid wonders why in Mother Nature he would allow this cretin to raise him. It must be a very good reason....alas, if only he could remember it.<br/><br/>He does not, however, rise to the bait. Arguing the point with Streban would only serve to stall them further, and show him to be as petty-minded as Streban himself, quibbling over small slights and semantics. Let the others believe what they will about him; he is here to fight, not to make friends, and in opening his mouth he is risking allowing Streban another chance to disingenuously attempt to cut him down in front of people who do not know whether what he is saying is correct or not. It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt, after all...and he can silently seethe at Streban, or even pull him aside and tell him in no uncertain terms that such passive aggressive behaviour will not make him more willing to help later. Oh, he probably won't - he is not so petty as that - but it is the thought that he<em>might</em>that helps him bite his tongue, even through Streban's obviously deliberate exclusion of him from the plans. So, he had the gall to ask the Great Streban what the plan might be - since soldiers need orders to carry out any plan successfully - and he is as a result sidelined from any actions whatsoever? He resists snorting once more. This man is their leader? An arrogant, puffed-up, foolish, petty little man who, whether intentionally or not, alienates his followers for speaking their mind? Hmph. They will go far under his<em>excellent</em>leadership, he is sure. Streban perhaps desires Druid to speak up and ask what his part of the plan will be, to have him vocally admit that there is a plan and to ask for a part of it, as would certainly stroke his little ego...and as much as Druid may not like it, he cannot spend this battle just watching everybody else. If they lose, he dies as well, and whilst he holds no fear of death, it would be rather inconvenient for their mission to die. He is about to ask what he should do, however, when Hazamir comes to his rescue - metaphorically speaking - and gives him a different task. With one last look at Streban - a flat, unimpressed and wholly defiant look; he doesn't sneer, though. Sneering would cause more problems than it solved - he turns and follows Hazamir to the bookshelf.<br/><br/>Hazamir is an interesting case. The man is a murderer, that much he knows, but in this room everybody has killed at least once, probably more. He was a Druid who was killed in battle - as far as he can tell - and so he must have provoked somebody for them to venture into the forest looking for him, which probably means injuring at least. And Streban deliberately sought out those who could fight and kill without hesitation, so...what does that say about Druid himself? Yes, Hazamir ""The Manhunter"" may have killed, but until Druid knows the specifics, he cannot make any judgements except those that he makes based on observations, and at the moment, he has no reason to suspect Hazamir of being an all around bad man. He is polite and courteous, he follows orders and he hasn't tried to kill any of them yet, so in his books that makes Hazamir worthy of at least a modicum of respect and trust. Of course, such commodities are fragile and easily broken, but for now, he is willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with him if it comes to it. And if nothing else, he stopped him from having to specifically ask Streban for an assignment, so for the moment he has bought himself some courtesy. Hazamir does seem to have a unique hatred of humans, bordering....well, no. Not bordering. Wallowing in racism, more like, but for some reason it does not appear to extend to Druid himself. It could be that he's dead, but that doesn't make any sense given his hostility to Dawn and Castor, so...well, being a Ranger himself, it is likely something to do with Druid being a, well, Druid. Whatever the reason, at least there is one man here that does not look down on Druid (metaphorically, at least; he towers above all of them in the literal sense) and his laconic speech. Druid himself starts to investigate the bookshelf, but given that this is a small poor town in the wilderness, he highly doubts that there are many complex mechanisms that Streban didn't put here when the rest of them weren't looking, so he begins looking around the bookcase. There may well be a book trigger, but Druid prefers the direct approach; the simplest solutions are usually the best, and not many simple mechanisms that do not use magic can resist enough brute force. Obviously subtler tactics are useful at times, but in scenarios like this, strength is usually the best way.<br/><br/>He spots the scuff marks on the floor and wall, and nods. No hidden mechanism, no magical incantation, just pure brute strength. It can't be hard to move, since most holy men in villages like this are nowhere near as strong as Druid, so without a word - he's not trying to be rude to Hazamir, he just doesn't have anything to say right now - he braces his hands on the wood and pushes. It resists for a moment, but soon enough the screeching sound of wood-on-wood fills the room as the bookshelf slides across the floor. A few books shake and fall out of their places, but Druid doesn't pay attention and pretty soon, the bookshelf has been pushed a few feet across the floor, revealing the entrance to the passageway that was hiding behind the shelf. The wall was skilfully painted, but if you knew what you were looking for, it's fairly easy to spot. He gestures for Hazamir to go first - he's smaller, and it looks to be a bit of a tight fit for Druid, so he would prefer he stay behind so as not to slow Hazamir down in the event of a fight, as unlikely as that is - and then follows him down to the crossroads. He stops, looking in each direction; some of the passages are labelled in languages that Druid can understand, and he is guessing that the passage marked in Elven is the one they are looking for. In all honesty, he doesn't understand why Streban didn't simply put the sign in common; how hard would it be to label the passage ""Hazamir, go this way?"" But, he supposes that Streban has some strange ideas of simplicity, or just likes to look clever. Regardless, they need to get moving. Druid begins to walk. The passageway looks long, dank and dark, but it is also quiet...and if anything moves, the echo's will let them know. After a few minutes, he does eventually speak...his words carry in the tunnel, but he doesn't much care who hears them. A distant chanting reaches his ears, and he figures that it has begun....one of the armies is chanting, and from what he knows of Siegebreakers, they aren't the type to sing.<br/><br/>""It's begun,"" he says simply, nodding sharply back in the direction they came. He pauses for a few moments. ""So...you claim to have an insight into what our<em>esteemed</em>leader is planning? He neatly sidestepped that question in favour of petty insults when it was posed to him."" He looks at Hazamir closely....if his reading is correct, Hazamir is not fond of Streban...perhaps he is the one to vent to. You must be careful who you confide in, of course, but bottling every bit of frustration up inside without some kind of venting mechanism is unwise, dangerous even. Whilst he can direct his frustration at the enemy, sometimes you just need to vent vocally....and in a private tunnel, with a man who may dislike Streban equally? It's as good a bet as any. The Paladin would likely not sympathise whatsoever, Deanora would berate him and run to tell her darling Streban - her worship of him is sickening, at best; he noted her eye roll earlier, he just chose to ignore her self-important little gesture. She would not survive without Streban and her little toy keeping her safe, of that he is certain - and the others he does not really know well enough to make a judgement. He doesn't know Hazamir that well, but he can get a few impressions from his actions. He just hopes they are correct, or he may face another condescending remark directed at him, and whilst he is a patient man and slow to anger, he would not be particularly pleased if in this ""Party,"" he did not have at least one person who did not view him as a large oaf, useful only for his strength. Besides, he mentioned earlier that he may know what Streban is planning, and an insight into the plan meant to prevent them all from dying would be useful, to say the least. He lets out a short, snorting half-scoff, half chuckle. ""He does not appear to like me very much. Fortunately for my feelings, the sentiment is mutual."" He glances at Hazamir. What will he say, he wonders? He suspects that reading people would be easier for him if he had his memories...of course, those memories might come with some revelations that he would rather not experience right now. He does idly wonder if they will return upon his re-death, but he is not in a hurry to find out."

The elf took one step into the cave and the torches came to life. Sunshadow flapped up into the air and flew into the tunnel first. ""See? I knew you were the right choice. My first mistake, thinking that these humans could construct something sophisticated."" He took the invitation to take point through the cave, and after spending a moment listening for Sunshadow's scream marking immediate danger, he slipped into the tunnel and started forward.<br/><br/>""Elven?"" Hazamir ran is hand along the direction etched into the stone, taking the time to read what they claimed each direction held. There must have been a possibility of this passage being discovered while the enemy scouted the battlefield, otherwise no human would take the time to write in Old Elven. There weren't even many elves that could read the ancient words. They've grown too accustomed to mixing common into it. Hazamir remembered, however. ""This way."" He nodded down the northern passage. Sunshadow came back from one of the other directions and perched back on the ranger's shoulder, feathers slightly ruffled. ""Spiders, yes? Well, stay nearby until we surface.""<br/><br/>He began down the northern tunnel. It was narrow, straight and uneventful, just as he expected. They were leaving the village, and now stood twenty feet below the surface. Nothing but a few layers of earth separating them from more than half of the kingdom's siege breakers along with hundreds more soldiers. Hazamir stopped when he heard Druid talk, something he had observed to be rare. He turned to the hunched man, and stroked Sunshadow underneath its beak. ""Only what he has planned for me.<em>Us</em>now, rather."" He glanced down the long path behind him. ""This tunnel was made for just such an occasion, you see. The deadtalker spoke true when he said Whitewilllow was the site of many massacres. So they built an escape tunnel that goes far to the north. Why? Because the only way in or out of these lands is north. Any army worth its salt can close off that route, and then deal with the village however they like. In this case, they're going to try to crush us. Why wouldn't they? We are outnumbered five to one at least, and starving out a dead army is poor strategy. What does this have to do with us and the tunnel, though?"" He gave half a smirk, and nodded down the tunnel before he began traveling down it again. ""The dwarf's forces will be thrown at the village all at once. I have no idea how the deadtalker intends to survive that, but I do know it'll leave their base camp and supply line thinly guarded. Why wouldn't it be? As far as they know, we're trapped in the village.""<br/><br/>The elf glanced back but did not stop when Druid shared his concerns about Streban. He gave a small nod in reply. ""I'm certain he feels the same way about me. I nearly put an arrow between his eyes when we met, but I don't think he's a fool."" Hazamir concluded. ""But if he is, at least we're in the best position to leave this place once his throat's been cut."""

Post as soon as you can.<br/><br/><strong>Paladin of Lust</strong>- those are the four deities commonly recognized in Caede, which is just one kingdom in a very large world. Other lands have their own gods, and while it is unusual to do so people do sometimes follow foreign deities. Divinely empowered individuals actually draw their power from dedication to a Saint, which is a lesser deity of a very specific thing like Love, Swordsmanship or Fire. The nice thing about Saints is that they are beings that you could physically meet and interact with (assuming you can find them) and it is a known fact that one can ascend to sainthood by any one of several ways: Kill a saint, have a saint pass on his/her power to you willingly, or be such a powerful embodiment of a specific thing that you are elevated yourself while still alive.<br/><br/>It's worth noting that just about everyone has a patron saint. When you reach adulthood you choose a personal patron for yourself, in addition to a family patron if you have a family. Feel free to make up some saints and foreign deities - Caede's nearest neighboring kingdoms are a bleak, frozen land to the north over the mountains, and then to the south is a fairly wild and deadly untamed jungle region. The eastern and western borders of Caede are ocean - the Sea of<br/><br/>For your second question: You've all met and know eachother.

He is also called the King of Kings, because it is said that all true rulers are blessed by him.<br/>Mishaka - The Silent one, the most mysterious of the gods. An ambiguously-gendered deity who oddly enough has love and knowledge as his/her portfolio.<br/>Grom - The Bloody, god of Darkness, War, Vengeance and Death (not of the dead). Noone will admit to worshipping Grom, and it is considered impolite at best to ask someone if they worship him, but every Caedian pays him homage in secret, dark places to avoid drawing his vengeful wrath. It is said that Grom is the most powerful deity, and that there used to be more gods in the past, but Grom killed them and took their powers for his own."

(http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=688420)<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><br/>Tiny and youthful, the young Sorceress seems many years younger than she really is due in no small part to her petite frame.  A small bust and somewhat boyish features make it easy for her to pass off as a boy from time to time.  A freckled face, with a button nose, what she lacks in raw sexuality she makes up for in natural cuteness.  Hair a strange, dark blue color--like stormy clouds--offset by the emerald color of her eyes.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/>Bubbly and energetic, she is always looking for her next chance to have a little fun.  Chaotic to the core, she rarely has plans for anything, and instead simply follows her whimsy--or the whimsy of Lady Luck.  While her fun is rarely well-thought-out, it is always good intentioned (even if someone ends up with third degree burns...).<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong><br/>When the gods were cast into Faerun from their heavenly abodes chaos arose and the Weave caught snarls and snags sending ripples throughout the world.<br/><br/>Born to the noble house, Moonstar, the young girl had little idea of what would come in the years following her birth.  As a young girl she was always mischievous, getting into whatever trouble she felt like she could get away with.  While this caused no end of consternation to older nobles, it was tolerated because she was ""just a child"".  This behavior continued as she grew into a teen, showing rather strong ""tom-boyish"" tendancies in addition to her more developed sense of making mischief.  Nobility came with many perks, growing up she had a safe environment to play and make friends, while receiving some tutoring regarding the wide world.  The tutoring rarely went very well due to her inability to concentrate on the lessons when there were much more interesting things going on outside.<br/><br/>The Time of Troubles was a difficult period for many people--and many deities.  When the goddess Shar appeared in Waterdeep masquerading as Selune, her family was caught up in a conflict that they were not yet prepared for.  Having already been in conflict with a fellow noble house who worshipped the Lady of Loss, they were dragged into an even more deadly struggle for survival.  Small skirmishes turned to bloody fights which turned to vicious attacks.  Some time into the conflict it was eventually revealed that Selune was really Shar in disguise, and the family of Moonstar rose up in retaliation.<br/><br/>Weave clashed with Shadow Weave, Divine against Arcane, steel against steel, and mortal against divinity.  Moonstar suffered heavy losses, but the evil goddess was eventually driven back and took to hiding in Undermountain before finally leaving Waterdeep.  In the wake of the battle Elle's parents had died along with some of her friends, but other ripples had yet to fully cascade throughout the city.  Like the aftershocks of an earthquake strange Wild Magic zones flickered to life briefly throughout the city.  Through a coincidence of magic and luck the stress of discovering her parents had been killed awoke the fire of sorcery within her blood--an ability that had rested dormant until just after reaching puberty--and the Wild Magic reacted in turn, exploding in a zone of unstable threads of Time and Magic around her.  It infected her body and her mind as time seemed to freeze for her for a moment while the power of magic surged through her blood like fire.  When time had finally caught back up to her there was a violent explosion that sent her flying.<br/><br/>Tongues of flame licked at her skin, though without burning her, turning to faint embers and disappearing.  Confused by the chaos in her mind she lost track of who she was and disappeared in the continued chaos around her.  It was easy to vanish, easy for the rest of the Moonstars to assume she had been killed in the fighting, and so it was for a few years.<br/><br/>The Mistshore wasn't an easy place to live for a little girl, but became less difficult when she showed off her ability to light people on fire with her mind.  Left alone to beg and get by on scraps she was eventually picked up by the church of Mystra.  She earned her keep with the church, which had temporarily adopted her in order to help keep her magic in check by training her how to use it more carefully.  Her ""keeper"" was a man by the name of Kristopher Ravalynn, whose last name she adopted.  He was also a sorcerer and had a similar predilection towards mischief as herself, though he kept it tempered with an overwhelming sense of duty.  She performed odds and ends for them, though volunteered quickly for more adventurous tasks which had her moving throughout the city doing all kinds of fun things.  She also got into occasional trouble with the law, though nothing too serious.  Her penance was usually helping them deal with bandits, or otherwise serve the ""greater good"" of the city in whatever way they felt she could handle.<br/><br/>Her memory remained foggy, though slowly she came to know that she had some life before magic, though it seemed distant and unreal to her.  The memory became more real when she happened upon one of her childhood friends.  Young girls, now both young women, recognized each other--her friend being Alianora Moonstar, a distant cousin of the noble house.  They spoke at length and Elle eventually convinced her friend Ali that she didn't want to go back to the family, still Ali wouldn't abandon her and helped to secretly help Elle in whatever way she could, sometimes directing work from the Moonstars her way.<br/><br/><strong>Morality:</strong><br/>""Good"" and ""Evil"" are concepts that she hasn't quite wrapped her head around.  Her morality is primarily devoted towards what is ""fun"" in her mind.  She has a sense of justice, though it isn't always consistent with itself.  Stealing from her is bad, but stealing from other people isn't necessarily such a bad thing for example.<br/><br/>Her fun is usually harmless, or what harm it does cause is very limited--harm being defined as physical injury to other people, property doesn't have feelings after all.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Background/Preferences:</strong><br/>Bisexual, inexperienced.<br/><br/><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong><br/>No bathroom-play of course and some other weird stuff, but beyond that I'm pretty open...  If you're wondering just check with me first.  Any extra details can be found in my own ons/offs.

Walking alone in the forest, she was seduced and ravished by a band of satyrs.<br/><br/>Nine months later, their son was born.  Though Serge Renard seemed completely human, he was gifted by his fathers' blood with supernatural resilience against weapons not of the dread metal Cold Iron.  It was just the slightest blessing, but enough that the burly lad never gained quite the defensive instincts he should have.<br/><br/>As a young man, he worked on his grandfather's farm. His favorite pastimes were reading whatever tome, text, or chap book he could get hs hands on and playing tackle ball with the local boys.  His favorite chore was cording wood.<br/><br/>Even by the age of twelve, he was tall and strong as many grown men.  By the time he was fully grown, he stood 6'6 and weighed 285, broad in the shoulder and narrow at the hip with sparkling, intelligent green eyes.<br/><br/>Physical impressive as the handsome lad was, he never truly achieved his full potential in the arena of brute strength.  When he was thirteen, his mother finally married, and his step father wanted nothing to do with his wife's bastard son.  Serge's grandfather arranged an apprenticeship for him with his brother—Serge's great uncle. Alucard, a mage of solid skill but little consequence.<br/><br/>Already a highly literate boy, Serge took to his lessons very quickly.<br/><br/>In the year of Shadows, Serge was sixteen, well on his way to becoming a full mage.  But when the gods fell and the world went mad, he didn't have the strength of the art to protect his home, and magic was unreliable anyway, so he took up his heaviest ax and joined the militia, patrolling in large groups to keep back twisted monsters and opportunistic bandits.<br/><br/>Two years later, a journeyman mage skilled in an uncommonly broad variety of weapons, he let Shadowdale to join an adventuring band, see the world, and grow in the art.  Within 6 years, his skill at arms had opened a door for him and he became what some people refer to as an Eldritch Knight.<br/><br/>Since reaching Waterdeep a year later, Serge has fallen in love with the region.  He has matured into a loyal friend, cheerfully putting his life on the line for a friend or an innocent.  He's also developed a lascivious streak a mile long.  Elle Moonstar, Sim Keen-Ear and Wren deMarco are among his favorite adventuring companions and playmates.  He appreciates not only their beautiful bodies and sensual favors, but also their heroic spirits and intelligence.<br/><br/>Serge recently encountered Inanna at a Sharessian festival.  She had other dates at a time, but he developed an admiration for the raven haired, azure eyed beauty and has determined that she will be his next conquest, and hopefully a new friend as well.<br/><br/>Unlike his fathers, Serge is a responsible lover.  He keeps a steady supply of Kessel on hand and doesn't consider temporary suppression of his fertility a threat to his manhood.  He'd rather both he nad his lovers take appropriate precautions.  The only thing he wants less than a child is to bring an unwanted child into the world."

A heart shaped face with full lips and a straight, slightly upturned nose and well defined chin, she is an eye catcher wherever she goes. With a figure that flows from generous breast into a slender waist before flairing out into well rounded hips and tight ass, her long, lean legs gives her an unconscious grace that might catch the attention of a stick that had been dead 3 days. Her normal tendency is to dress to accentuate her figure in light colored tunics under a dark blue jacket, form fitting leather breaches and knee high turned down boots; a belt with a rapier on the right and a main gauche on the left rides low on her hips.<br/>Personality:<br/>Wren is a fun-loving woman who tries to live each day as if it were her last. Light hearted and outgoing, she firmly believes that if you waste one day, you may not have another and if Tymora didn’t intend you to enjoy life, she wouldn’t of given you one to live.  Easy going under most circumstances and unafraid to show her flirtatious, hungry side, she none the less has a temper that many walk carefully around. If you’re a friend, you’re a friend for life… if you’re an enemy… well, enjoy the few days that you have and carry around those two coppers for the ferryman.<br/><br/>Background:<br/>Wren was born and raised in Waterdeep, and the child of a sailor who plied the Sword Coast from the day he was 13 to the day he died to pirates. Her fondest memories of him were of the highly celebrated returns and the stories that he often told her at bedtime of the wonders and adventures that he had while on the high seas. So, it was natural that when Wren came of age that she would want to follow in those footsteps and make her own way; her own name on the seas.<br/><br/>Things were difficult starting out, afterall, having a woman on ship wasn't the usual thing to do and some considered it bad luck... but whenever Wren sailed, things went well and the voyages proved uncannily lucky, so when she was 17, she placed her faith in Tymora's luck and never looked back. Although far from a perfect worshiper, she believes that she honored the Goddess by placing her life at her hands over and over as the years went by and the times that she spent on shore  began to show her a different way of life. Taking odd jobs in Waterdeep during the winter, she developed a fair repore with the town guard, who had become aware of her less acceptible nocturnal activities... hey, sometimes, you had to put food on the table in unusual ways... but since they never caught her, they tended to overlook her mischief. In time, it became more a factor that she spent more time on land than the sea, but the water was in her heart and she would always return to it eventually, if not for just a single sail a season. But pay can be a fickle thing with ships and coin from the city guard a fairly predictible thing...<br/></div></div><br/><br/>Name: Wren DeMarco      Player: Blinkin<br/>Race: Human            Sex: Female<br/>Class:Rogue/Swashbuckler             Favored Class:<br/>Level:4/5             EXP: 115,000<br/>Alignment: Chaotic Good      Next Level:  ,000<br/>Age:28               Height: 5’8<br/>Measurements:  36D-27-35<br/><br/>Ability Scores:<br/>STR:   13 (+1) Carry: L: 50 , M: 100 , H: 150<br/>DEX:   18 (+4)<br/>CON:14    (+2)<br/>INT:14    (+2)<br/>WIS:14    +2)<br/>CHA:   14 (+2)<br/><br/>Saving Throws:         Combat:<br/>Fort: +6         HP: 60/60<br/>Reflex: +9         Init: +4<br/>Will: +5         Speed: 30’<br/><br/>Offense:            Defense:<br/>BAB: +8/+2            AC: 23<br/>TAB: +13/+8            AC (Flatfooted): 23<br/>Ranged: +13/+8            AC (Touch): 17<br/>CMB:+12            CMD:24<br/>AC(Special): +1 to Reflex save and AC vs traps<br/><br/>Class Skills:<br/><br/>10   Balance (DEX) (4+4+2)<br/>9   Bluff (CHA) (2+7)<br/>5   Decipher Script (INT) (2+3)<br/>10 Diplomacy (CHA) (2+8)<br/>15   Disable Device (DEX) (4+2+9)<br/>8   Gather Information (CHA) (2+6)<br/>10   Hide (DEX) (4+6)<br/>10   Jump (STR) (1+2+7)<br/>8   Knowledge; Local (INT) (2+6)<br/>10   Listen (WIS) (2+8)<br/>10   Move Silently (DEX) (4+6)<br/>15   Open Locks (DEX) (4+2+9)<br/>6   Profession; Sailor (WIS (2+2+2)<br/>10   Search (INT) (2+8)<br/>10   Spot (WIS) (8)<br/>6   Swim (STR) (1+5<br/>12   Tumble (DEX) (4+2+6)<br/>6   Use Magic Device (CHA) (2+4)<br/>8   Use Rope(DEX) (4+4)<br/>Languages: Common,<br/><br/>Feats/Racial Traits: (RF=Racial Feat, CF=Class Feature)<br/><br/>Able Learner (All skill ranks cost 1 point per rank, regardless of cross class restrictions)<br/>Stormheart (Regional; +2 to balance and Profession;Sailor.

His mother, a practiced alchemist, had been won over by a local man at a young age. Their romance however was short lived when a barn fire claimed his life. His mother couldn’t comprehend the tragedy at first and it was weeks before she realized that the pains and sickness were not side effects of grief but that of pregnancy. Raised within the compound he was taken in by many of the men of the family and shown what it was to be a man, a mage and most of all a Harpell. In a family with such rich history and many would say infamy he stood out not at all. Raised within the magical ancestral home of Ivy Mansion he went about as most children would and grew up with the constant taste of magic in the air. As many children of the family he was taught the basics of magic and it was soon discovered that he too had more than just a basic affinity toward it. His studies covered the gambit but he leaned most toward the arcane arts and history. His uncles Harkle and Malchor being the most influential. Harkle taught him the love of magic how it could be bent and manipulated while Malchor focused on the techniques and control of magic. He couldn’t have asked for better teachers and his studies advanced in leaps and bounds.<br/><br/>All of this did little to crush a wanderlust that had building within him. He constantly begged to travel with family members and the like, hoping for an adventure like he read about in the family histories. Finally after just turning fifteen he got his chance. A group of adventurers came to the estate seeking his families aid in defending a place called Mithral Hall. Many of the families top practitioners were assembled and with no small amount of begging they agreed to let Cornelius come along as a squire of sorts. What he witnessed at the horrible place still haunts his dreams. Magics and beast that couldn’t be imagined in most peoples worst nightmares were set loose within the large yet confined cavern. From his safe area Cornelius learned what it was to be a Harpell that day as he watched his uncles advance in the face of what was certain doom to uphold the promises and friendships they had made. In the end so few were left but thankfully most survived.<br/><br/>From that day he made himself a vow to take his studies to a new level. Seeing how the leaders of the invading force had manipulated an entire battlefield he focused himself on eliminating single individuals or small groups. More and more his spells focused on weakening others and burning down their leaders. This turn did not go unnoticed and was frowned upon for one so young to think so. Two years latter an uncontrolled summoning broke loose in the rear gardens and Cornelius took action. A slavering beast was accidentally set loose and with a few well placed shots Cornelius stood over the smoking corpse. There was no more arguing the point. He came from a long line of great mages and as such he would set out to find his own path to greatness.<br/><br/>Traveling south he could think of no better place to start then the city of Waterdeep. Known for its intrigue and wild stories he set forth. Upon reaching the city he took up a side job as a scribe to pay the bills but kept a steady eye on the posting for skilled mages needed. His employer, a Mr. Winterscale, was a good man and let Cornelius take his leave to chase his dreams. Working everything from vermin cleansing to kidnapped noble he never turned down a chance to make himself known, and the money was always welcomed. He was use to a life of luxury and it was hard to maintain on a scribes pay.<br/><br/>Now in his twenty fifth year he stands a striking figure. His short dark brown hair lays in loose curls around the rakish looks of a man of knowledge focused with power. His bright green eyes are welcoming and his smile can start a band to play a jaunty tune. He loves to dance and drink but he isn’t good at either. He would rather buy a stranger a drink than bully one out the door and rarely looks to start a conflict until a line has been crossed. Those who don’t know better might assume he is a bard at least until he starts to sing along with the song.<br/>"

His half-elf mother is a priestess of Isis (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Isis) and thanks for that he was early on indoctrinated to Mulhorandi native religion and get curiosity to magic which his mother encouraged. His human father was simple sailor who owned a fishing boat and which daily his mother prayed for good weather and safe return. Because of his half-elf mother influence he took quite femine appearance early on and her naturally pale skin color but kept his dark hair but his eyes were curiosity and she took it as sign that he will be powerful mage someday.

Then one day Adrian fled from Thay and moved all way to Sword Coast to become a adventurer for hire, hiding his tattoos from his head by growing hair and becoming a renown wizard. He does not use his <em>real</em> family name and uses merely Scarlet, after his favorite color and for his one scarlet eye. He has been in great aid in Baldur's Gate organization known as Flaming Fist by helping their patrols and helping clear goblin bandits off the trade roads with his summoned minions and battlefield control which fools goblins or even ogres and giants. He favors evil outsiders because according him it feels less bad hurt them when sending fight summoned minions fight goblins. Besides that he has worked as scribe and even spend time in Candlekeep itself and made friends there among archivers.<br/><br/>Then pair years ago he moved to Waterdeep along trade caravan and he had stayed since offering his services.

He is drawn to women of intellect or those who have something interesting flair or other exotic physical traits; like elf woman with unusual large bust, tattoos, piercings and so on.

Her mother is a wizard of considerable skill, favoring divination, illusion and transmutation spells. While her father is a charming rogue who uses his natural charisma and dexterity to great effect. They're known simply as the Keen-Ears, information and secrets are their business. As a child, she was their eager assistant, sent on safe and easy errands at first. However as she grew older, she began begging them to allow her to tackle more difficult tasks.<br/><br/>When she wasn't assisting her parents with investigations, she was training with them, playing with other children or experimenting by herself. Her father was quick to begin teaching her the roguish skills that had served him so well, he found that she had a natural talent for most of them and was a quick study. At an early age, she was fascinated by the magic her mother wielded with such skill. Her mother did everything she could to encourage this interest, bit by bit teaching her daughter more and more about the arcane. When asked whether she wanted to be a rogue or a wizard, it wasn't really a surprise when she responded with ""Why not both?"" Her parents embraced this idea, her father continuing her rogue training, ensuring a solid foundation for her wizardly skills to be built upon. Once that foundation was complete, her mother began her wizardly training in earnest.<br/><br/>As a child she always leaned more towards female forms, she found them easier to adopt, more enjoyable to play, and they just felt more natural to her. However, male forms were always a fun challenge. It seemed her body could not decide on a gender, manifesting a bit late in adolescence as female. Her parents each had a favored form, and so would she. Her father preferred a tall handsome human male with black hair light facial hair, and warm brown eyes. Her mother favored the form of a curvaceous elven female with long dark red hair that appeared almost black in certain lighting, accompanied by deep golden eyes.<br/><br/>Her own favored form developed over time, evolving into her opinion of perfection. She blended aspects from her parents' formed forms, choosing half-elf as the race. Her eyes were the same as her mother's an intense golden, but with a hint of warm brown flecks to honor her father. Her hair was a mixture, the first half of each strand was black, while the second half ended in dark red. She decided to stand an inch taller than her mother, but two inches shorter than her father. Just like her mother's, her form is curvaceous and voluptuous.<br/><br/>Their favored forms are used at home, around the office, and when meeting clients. Her parents have mostly retired from the adventurous side of the private investigating business. So she usually works solo on cases. Not that she minds, as they almost always prove to be fun challenges. She definitely enjoys the work, some cases may be similar, they're never the same.<br/><br/>She is a becomer, like both of her parents. Always experimenting with new faces, new personas. She has a thirst for adventure, enjoys a good challenge and is a bit addicted to the adrenaline rush from the more risky parts of her job. She is more of a lover rather than a fighter and always attempts to avoid violence. But that doesn't mean she is a coward, or unskilled with a weapon, she can hold her own in a fight if need be. When not working, she is often found indulging in the many pleasures life has to offer, from good food to good entertainment. Carnal delights are easily her favorite pleasure, and her favorite way of getting information."

The name came from the old metalworking shop whose owner was particularly skilled at crafting large bells that bigger towns would use. The town is on the edge of Lurkwood Forest, far enough away forom any major cities that it needs to still have its own militia to protect it from orc or goblin raids. Unfortunately, fourteen years ago, one such raid, a very large one, swept into town, led by an orc chief called Dudremk, and wiped out all of the men of the town. Children, Voloke among them, were taken as prisoners, to be used as slaves for Dudremk. The women suffered worse fates, which the young girls who were taken would inevitably share. Voloke was trapped with the life of a slave for three years before Dudremk and his orcs abandoned their rather large encampment when a battalion of soldiers from Neverwinter came along to kick down to door to avenge the death of the son of a prominent Neverwinter nobleman. Voloke, like the other child slaves, was taken back to Neverwinter and, like most orphans, taken into the care of one temple or another.<br/><br/>It was the priesthood of Tyr in Neverwinter that took in Voloke, and they had planned on raising him as a priest. However, Voloke, upon coming of age, joined the Grey Cloaks of Neverwinter briefly. Years of being in forced slavery, followed by even more years of cleaning and helping the priests in the temple. It wasn't that Voloke disliked anything about the priesthood of Tyr, so much as he felt that the life of a Priest wasn't for him. Three years of being a slave to the bastard that had murdered his family had instilled in Voloke a thirst for revenge that still to this day has not been satisfied. He has vowed that one day, he will find Dudremk and end him. Voloke had hoped that the Grey Cloaks would make an effort to do just that, but Dudremk is still at large in the North, his small army of orcs pillaging, raping, murdering, plundering, and sacking small towns whenever the chance arises.<br/><br/>Voloke left the Grey Cloaks after a little more than a year. He has been acting as a mercenary since then, and jumps at the opportunity to take any job that involves dealing with orcs, always hoping that it will lead him to Dudremk, so that he can finally take revenge.<br/><br/>When he's not doing mercenary work, Voloke usually likes to spend time alone. He does enjoy arts, and likes to listen to bards play and sing, or even see a performance at a theatre. He has no natural talent for such things himself, but he loves to experience it anyway. While Voloke certainly does enjoy fighting his enemies, to an extent at least, he doesn't go into taverns to start brawls or anything of the sort. He would prefer to be left alone to his ale. He's been told that he has a nice smile and might even be handsome, but Voloke doesn't, by his own estimation at least, smile often enough to tell.<br/><br/>He's more selective than most mercenaries, never wanting to take jobs that involve theft or outright assassination, though there's always someone willing to pay for a caravan guard or to have a band of goblins run back into the mountains and away from more civilized lands.<br/><br/>Voloke's last job, escorting a rather wealthy merchant named Reldmin from Luskan south to Waterdeep, has just been finished, and he's looking for work elsewhere.</div></div>"

As the Dale was created as a place where elves, humans, and halfelves could live together in peace far from the arrogance of the Sun Elves, so too was Liyilya created as a place were the races could.... <em>interact</em> in a open and accepting environment that supported their love and did not judge them for finding beauty in races that were not their own. In the many years since, it has evolved into a full community, people of many races make their home there, and halfbloods of one sort or another make up most of the population. <br/><br/>It has also become a place with very strong Chaotic ties; the most immediately obvious being its open attitudes towards sex and the body. Clothes are cut to emphasize rather than hide, and casual liaisons are the norm, even deeper relationships are usually 'open'. Traditional, exclusive, marriage is almost unheard of, and rarely lasts long in so... tempting a locale. But their atypicality extends far beyond their sexual habits; there is little in the way of formal hierarchy or leadership, instead they rely on a strong ethic of communal responsibility to get things done, those who offer little get little in return, while those for devote themselves to arduous tasks will find themselves with many of fellows willing to lend a hand in their daily lives; for example, wallguards never have to worry about being short of company come evening, nor that their lunches will be anything less than fine. Money still exists and is used of course, but it is mostly used to trade with travelling traders and the like, within Liyilya, voluntary dedicated service, not great wealth, buys respect and good living, and money is merely used for simple day-to-day purchases like bread or clothing. Children are raised communally, and are encouraged to find their own way in life, often playing games that could easily serve as early training for many professions, allowing them to grow into a role they enjoy, and if it is a more involved profession, Mentorship is generally easy to come by. <br/><br/>In terms of Adventuring professions Liyilya is a popular spot for Bards, who value the free and generous accommodations they are offered in exchange for performances and stories (to say nothing of a great many eager and talented men and women), and many children grow up listening to such tales, finding in themselves that creative spark that leads them to also take up the professions. Common worship of sex-positive and chaotic deities occasionally leads to the calling of a Cleric from their population, though Paladins are almost unheard of. Likewise, Sorcerers are far more likely than wizards, as very few children who grow up here learn the kind of studiousness or patience necessary to master the wizard's art. Fighters are a thing, but many who become inclined to martial pursuits are more likely to follow the Barbarian's path, relying on headstrong ferocity and heart over the honed skills of a true Fighter, though some come to value the elegance of refined bladwork. Urban existence limits the number of nature-aspected professions sharply, but a few Rangers operate in the town's orbit (particularly those who feel more than they should for their animal companions but dont want to entirely give up on human contact), and their skills are highly valued as scouts and hunters, and like bards, some children are inspired by these mysterious and competent figures to emulate them. Rogues are actually very uncommon as the strong community-centric ethic makes the selfish profession of the rogue too caustic to tolerate, nor is Liyilya big enough that a thief could escape notice for long. If there are any monks that call Liyilya home, their art would be almost entirely unrecognizable to their monastic cousins.</div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Life</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">-born, raised normal... well, normal for Liyilya.<br/>-joined a local temple to Sharess in her early teens and became a dancer, being too young for.... other activities<br/>-in her mid teens she sought out the mentorship of a local bard who made his home there, to improve her dancing, and he agreed to teach her (and she was happy to 'pay' for it)<br/>-she mastered what he had to teach her, but started badgering him to teach her bardic magic and other Bardness, having caught the bug, so to speak<br/>-he fussed around with the idea for a while, since dancing wouldnt work for bardic magic, it needed sound. he eventually hit on the idea of having her wear bells, allowing her dancing to also be music, and with practice she learned to 'play' her bells as well as any bard with a lute could play their instrument. <br/>-by this point she was fully participating in the temple's activities, and became quite popular for her ability to mix her bardic talents and her natural knack for sex to produce some truely orgasmic results.<br/>-however she was feeling increasingly..... wanderlusty, and while they were sad to see her go, the high priestess encouraged her to indulge her desire to travel (and every other desire), after all Sharess herself was a wanderer of sorts.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Adventure</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Inanna journeyed north from her home, setting out more or less at random and trusting in fortune and Sharess to guide her steps. She crossed the dales with little issue aside from general novice adventuring troubles; surviving the wild, dealing with common bandits, and finding enough money to stay in a inn overnight. Overall there was a perplexing lack of invading armies, looming dark lords, and marauding bands of monsters. That all changed once she reached the Moonsea to the north however, the near-lawless land proved a all together more difficult challenge, and while she had lamented the boredom of it, she was now thankful for the chance to master basic skills during the first leg of her journey. Far from the relatively idylic life in the Dales, the lands surrounding the Moonsea were full of cutthroats, ne'er-do-wells and marauding warbands following petty lords. Even the more established and reputable  cities were rife with corruption. For Inanna, it was as different a place from her home as it was possible to be, they looked out only for themselves and were miserable in their selfishness. This was when Inanna first seriously considered acting on her faith, in Liyilya faith was a personal matter, and proselytizing was frowned upon, a person would find their way to a god or goddess that suited them in time, and trying to haggle them into one religion or another would only lead to unhappyness.<br/><br/>Here however.... she couldnt help but think that they could all use a good dose of Sharess. And she began to move more slowly, taking more time in each city and town she passed than she had before, and made a personal goal to seek out those who she could help, the smallest of gestures can have a profound effect, and she did her best to seek out good people at their wills end, those who had begun to despair or give up; the moral watchman slowly being ground under the corruption of his peers, the pretty girl whos overbearing boyfriend is making her life hell, and many more. Sometimes she danced to show them that there was still beauty in the world, sometimes she slept with them to show that courage and honour have their own rewards, sometimes she fought because some lines cannot be crossed, and sometimes a kind word of encouragement was enough, to know that someone cared. She was but one woman, and the Moonsea is so big, did she change anything? No, not really. But did she make a difference? She likes to think so.<br/><br/>There are many though who like things the way they are, and are disinclined to tolerate 'trouble makers', and probably just as many over-righteous champions who saw her cavorting ways as making things worse rather than better. And as her reputation slowly grew, she was forced to make a rapid exit more than once, and in time, she found many gates closed to her, unlawful bounties on her head. It was sad, but she had expected as much, and in time she was forced to leave the Moonsea and seek out new lands where she was less known. She struck out to the northwest, having circumnavigated the Moonsea, into The Ride. A land where she was sure, the people would care not a whit about her reputation elsewhere, a land of nomadic barbarians, who cared little for the ways of 'civilized folk'. Not that such lands didnt have their own dangers, but she was confident in her ability to handle a bunch of savages if it came to that.<br/><br/>Not quite how it worked out as you might imagine. <br/><br/>-went into The Ride, eventually ran into barbarians, got captured. <br/>-their leader was going to give her to his men for 'entertainment' but was impressed by her defiance and upon learning she was a southern 'skald' decided to give her to his tribe's ancient skald to see if he could find some use for her.<br/>-the skald was practically ancient, but despite being shockingly lean and fit, was beyond having any sexual interest in her.<br/>-he did however declare that despite her talents, she fought like a brute instead of a dancer and (after some haggling) taught her a surprisingly elegant war-dance that emulated the fluttering ways of a falling flake of now, one of many arts of the northern lands he had learned in his long life, and one which proved to suit her extremely well.<br/>-She remained for a time, but eventually left her second mentor, travelling north to the High Ice, above the great desert, where one of the tribe's stories claimed lay a ancient blade of unmelting ice, carved from the heart of a great glacier and quenched in the heartsblood of a mighty skald whos life was at its end, which could supposedly bolster the arts of any bard who held it.<br/>-The High Ice is a truely harsh and desolate place, full of little other than terrible monsters, and no other who had sought the blade had ever returned, but she took a different approch, following the song-map of the tale she was able to wield her powers to make peace along her route, fascinating, charming and otherwise making her way without using the violence that would certainly have been common among the previous attempters, though she was occasionally forced to do... indiscreet things with a few of the more intelligent and powerful beings to buy her passage. <br/>-She eventually claimed the blade, but a sudden rift prevented her from returning the way she had come, forcing her to continue west.<br/>-Eventually making her way down she crossed into the Silver Marches, where she was pleased to find some civilization at last, she fell back into a similar role as she had taken in the Moonsea, though instead of seeking out those who were on the edge of buckling under the weight of the corruption around them, she sought to support those who dedicated their lives to help others. back in her home, so far away now, those who dedicated themselves to such tasks were very well taken care of... <br/>-many watchmen and women, guards, magistrates, and adventures have very fond memories of nights with her from one end of the silver marches to the other.  this also made it easy for her to learn new tales, dances, and go on adventures while there, and she eventually developed a fair reputation as a adventurer and courtesan both.<br/>-She had never had any real intention to stay there, and when she found herself travelling a road that lead out of the Marches and onto the Sword Coast, she pleasantly followed it, looking forward to the next leg of her adventure.</div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Waterdeep</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">-Inanna has not been here long... but shes the sort of person who gets noticed, she hasnt adventured locally yet, but it wouldnt be hard at all to chaise down her reputation in the Marches... maybe even the Moonsea.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Sexual Details</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Inanna is pansexual; men, women, those inbetween, every humanoid race, and every stripe within them deserves a chance to feel good. Naturally she has fair discretion, shes not a nympho who fucks everything that moves, she picks and chooses her partners, but no matter of birth influences that decision, just circumstances and what they have made of themselves. Since her time in the High Ice forced her to make her way among creatures far too powerful for her to fight and win, and her magic was not always enough to make her way, shes become more... open, to offering her body to intelligent non-humanoid creatures as well, though she does not preferr this option and often feels soiled and in need of a bath after... she cannot deny that such experiences were... novel and enjoyable. Shes never been in a situation where shes had to consider making this sort of offer to non-intelligent creatures... her womanly charms dont tend to work on unthinking monsters after all, but she is torn between wondering what it might be like and feeling dirty even thinking about it.<br/><br/>In terms of kinks shes willing to try almost anything sane (no scat, mutilation), but has a fondness for performing oral on her partners of either gender, and is proud of her lack of gag reflex. Its worth noting that she tends to wear her heels to bed, with or without a partner, as their enchantments keep her warm.</div></div></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Stats, Skills, Features and Feats</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Abilities</span></strong><br/>Str :  10 (0)<br/>Dex: 10 (0)<br/>Con: 14 (2)<br/>Int  :  14 (2)<br/>Wis:  10 (0)<br/>Cha: 20 (5) [24(7)]<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Derived Stats</span></strong><br/>Bab: +4<br/>Fort: 6<br/>Ref : 6<br/>Will: 15<br/>AC : 16<br/><br/><strong>HP:</strong> 53<strong>/53</strong><br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Skills</span></strong> [Effective<strong>:</strong>women<strong><span class=""bbc_u"">]</span></strong><br/>Appraise (Int)<br/>Bluff (Cha) 5<br/>Diplomacy (Cha) 11 [25:27]<br/>Disguise (Cha) 2<br/>Gather Information (Cha) 10 [20:22]<br/>Knowledge (Arcana) (Int) 6<br/>Knowledge (Dungeoneering) (Int) 6<br/>Knowledge (Geography) (Int) 6<br/>Listen (Wis) 5<br/>Move Silently (Dex)<br/>Perform (Cha) (Dance) 11 [25:27]<br/>Perform (Cha) (Sexual Techniques) 11 [23:25]<br/>Sense Motive (Wis) 5<br/>Sleight of Hand (Dex)<br/>Speak Language (n/a)<br/>Spellcraft (Int) 4<br/>Use Magic Device (Cha) 5<br/><br/>Languages: Common, Sylvan<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Features</span></strong><br/><strong>Human</strong><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Bonus Feat</span>: Humans gain one additional Feat.<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Bonus Skills</span>: +4 skillpoints at lv1, and +1 every level after.<br/><strong>Bard</strong><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Proficiencies</span>: All simple weapons, plus the longsword, rapier, sap, short sword,  shortbow, and whip.

He has adventured alone and with others and sometimes his adventures have involved more than swordplay.

He is a generally abrasive personality to those he sees as contrary to themselves and his sword is eager to honor his oaths; many find great comfort in the latter.

Not that this bothers Saren, who is often friendly and conciliatory, though those who know him well also know that this is simply a facade to put others at ease, and that in truth he is often melancholy and dour.<br/><br/>On his back, Saren carries a bow and at his side coiled in a small loop a chain whose lengths are covered in spikes. His heavy armor, made of some strange, silvery metal, marks him as some sort of fighter, yet his body is not overly well-muscled, nor does he seem as dexterous as the rogues that roam Waterdeep, leaving those who know him to wonder how he swings the spiked chain with such force and precision. Perhaps it could be through pure force of character, of which Saren does not appear to lack, often being able to talk his way out of trouble or convince others that things are not as they seem."

A large, somewhat loud, somewhat pushy tiefling. Her dark skin and facial features mark her as Mulhorandi, and her white hair is matted into waist-length dreadlocks which she sometimes binds up behind her head in a bun, but her tattoos have a distinctly Thayan look to them. She looks to be in her late twenties, perhaps, but who can truly tell with the planetouched? She is a muscular girl, but well-fed enough to have pleasing curves (particularly at the hip). Her horns curve back over her brow and recurve in the manner of some desert gazelle (http://cdn2.arkive.org/media/92/92AE6884-C448-449F-A64E-F33985A88E29/Presentation.Large/Adult-male-Przewalskis-gazelle.jpg) (not like a ram's horns, as in the character image, oops) and a slim whiplike tail sometimes twitches impatiently from beneath her skirts. Also visible beneath her skirts at times are cloven-hooved feet with pale white fur that matches her hair, and some few may brag or make derogatory remarks (when she's not around) about knowing just how high up the tiefling's muscular legs that fur goes.<br/><br/>The tiefling has a strange reputation as a warrior. Some say she is some kind of a sorceress who reads the future in chains, or uses them to beat and bind it into the shape she likes. Others say she is clearly the daughter of one of the chain-devils, but are shouted down by still other self-proclaimed diabolic experts who insist that no Kyton ever bore such horns. There are scores of tales about her in Waterdeep. Some characterize her as an untrustworthy rogue and thief, others speak of the rescue of orphaned children and the deliverance in chains to the Watch of the children's pedophilic keeper. Depending on who you talk to, she is a trustworthy guard, a brigand, a gentle woman, or a devil who has (barely) taken human flesh as an excuse to torment the living.<br/><br/>She wears a long slit-sided robe of darkened mithril, its breast woven around larger, shield-like plates...The whole of clearly outlandish design, perhaps even from lands farther east than Thay. Leather tags branded with the marks of dozens of caravan-companies are strung on thongs through the mail sleeving her left arm. Over all the aparrent armor are draped chains: thin chains and thick chains, light and heavy chains. Chains with fine-worked, rounded links and chains whose links are deliberately hooked and barbed to rip and tear flesh. Chains laden with locks, chains hung with spiked weights, and even the black metal scorpion-like blades of Drow fighting chains, they wind around her torso in dark, cascading loops, entwine her arms and legs and even spiral along her tail with glistening night-colored metal. Chains hang from rings drilled into the curving scythes of her horns, and pass across her face like a clanking veil. They jingle with every heavy clip-clop pace of her inhuman tread. They even rustle of their own accord, when she stands still...Or so the tale-tellers will say. She walks with a crashing jingle like a squad of the guard kitted in mail, not like a lone woman.<br/><br/>...No, there's nothing subtle or quiet about this one.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Secret History: The Children of Shameviq Dyzyara</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">There is a perception that Thay is a land of magic, demons and devils, slaves and unswerving evildoers. Few know of the neutral Tharchion of Thazalhar, fewer would guess how varied the peoples of that land may be in their lives, and only the most imaginative or romantic...Or those who understand that the selfishness of evil sometimes works wonders when it fixates upon love...Would presume to find much that is good there.<br/><br/>There is a plantation of cherry orchards on the shore of the River Thay, between that curse-ridden water and the Sur road north of Umratharos. None but those lacking in all ability to taste would suggest that the cherries grown there were anything but good. The plantation had been the property of the Dyzyara family for as long as there were Rashemi in Thay. The land was good, the cherries a blend of tart and sweet that sold well in markets as far west as Two Stars and as far South as Bezantur. It was said that barrels of them shipped well, holding their flavor and firmness if cared for, and were even ferried across the Sea of Stars and beyond the Dragonmere, finding buyers in places with outlandish names like Calimport and Waterdeep.<br/><br/>Despite all that is said of Thay...Despite all that is true of Thay...the Dyzyara were not an unhappy family. They were free, albeit not noble, and they made good profit from the fruit of their lands. If those fruit were harvested by slaves, and if a tithe went to the temples, and another to their rulers, well...Was that not the way life was in all civilized countries?<br/><br/>But there are other kinds of tithes.<br/><br/>When Shameviq was a young man, his sister was tested and taken by the Red Wizards, supposedly to become one of them. At first, the family was happy for her, but as months went by and no word came, they grew troubled. In time, they petitioned the autharch of Umratharos, and because the Dyzyara were a reasonably wealthy family, the autharch (for a price) raised the question politely to others. And the word came back that Shameviq's older sister would never be a Red Wizard -- would never, in fact, be anything at all, for she had been found wanting in some way or other and was now not merely dead, but undead, a silent servant for some noble or other.<br/><br/>Shameviq would never forget this lesson, but it would not govern his life. In time, he inherited the plantation of his forefathers, and having fallen in love with a young woman of a good Rashemite family, he married her. Their marriage was not the talk of all Umratharos, but it was hardly an insignificant or unnoticed event -- would that it could have been! -- as there were more important personages in Umratharos that day, one of whom was no less than the Zulkir of Transmutation. He was briefly distracted by the merrymaking in one quarter, the tiny parade of worshippers and newlyweds crossed the path of his own entourage, and on a whim he made a gift to the new couple.<br/><br/>The attention of such men is dangerous. And there are many kinds of tithes.<br/><br/>Prima noctis was not, strictly speaking, something most Thayan rulers concerned themselves with, but it was certainly within the purview of any autharch or tharch who chose to distract him or herself with such matters -- and who would deny a zulkir anything? So Shameviq alternated between anger and terror, alone on the night of his wedding while his new bride lay beneath the infamous Druxus Rhym...One of the eight most powerful sorcerors in Thay. For Shameviq, it was a nightmare. For Druxus, merely a whimsical distraction from the more refined pleasures he was accustomed to; one seasoned by the casual exercise of power and the terror it brought not only upon the Dyzyara but also upon his normal suite of entertainers, who feared they had somehow disappointed him.<br/><br/>Shameviq was not, strictly speaking, a good man, but he loved his wife. The incident was forgotten until nearly nine months later, when his wife gave birth to twins.<br/><br/>In the land of Thay, every birth is looked forward to with eagerness, and with fear, for there is no knowing, truly, if even the purest of bloodlines has not some tiny trace of the Outside within it, and there is no knowing when a child may be born who is magically gifted -- and these are both curses in Thay, for the powerful have uses for both types of children. Anything that makes a birth unusual is cause for alarm and fear.<br/><br/>There is nothing unusual about a birth being a private and secretive thing in the land of dark secrets. There is nothing unusual about a midwife suffering an unfortunate accident shortly after a birth -- although such incidents are apt to draw attention, desperate parents will do desperate things. Twins were auspicious enough to make the midwife nervous, but when the first of the pair delivered was obviously albino, she became truly fearful.<br/><br/>When the second arrived with the legs of a goat, she knew in her heart that she was doomed. She did make it down the stairs from the birthing chamber. Headfirst.<br/><br/>The Dyzyaras conspired and commiserated long into the night. It was nearly impossible to hide albinism. There were ways to darken the skin, but they were rare in Thay where the ruling Mulan were known by their height and paleness, and the Rashemi who were lighter-skinned, or otherwise showed more Mulan blood, were granted the best opportunities. In that sense, albinism was a good thing. In any case, even if such dyes could be found and acquired without undue suspicion, they would still do nothing to hide the pale scarlet of the children's eyes.<br/><br/>The real problem was the tiefling. There was little doubt that both children carried the zulkir's bloodline, as their pale-skinned appearance was enhanced by a slight delicacy in their facial features which bridged the divide between the Rashemi and the Mulan. The wizard's real legacy, however, was made apparent in those caprine legs. They named the little girl Dyernina, 'Blossom,' and her tiefling sister Yevdra...""Secret.""<br/><br/>It is a tribute to Shameviq's fear and hatred of the Red Wizards, to maternal love and parental wishful thinking that the family even tried to hide the tiefling-child...but try, they did. It was announced that only one of the two children had survived birth, and that one, named Dyernina, was paraded around with all the usual social clamor which accompanies a birth in a wealthy family, even a family of common blood. The word 'twins' was almost unheard on the plantation, and shushed quickly, so as not to remind the Mistress of her 'lost child'. As the 'child' grew, she was kept in the house most of the day...A not uncommon practice in a land where monsters and the undead roamed free...And was only allowed out into the cherry orchards for an hour or two a day, accompanied by a guardian. Perhaps five people in the world knew that it was not the same child each day! The sisters took turns enjoying the sun and the cool winds in the orchards, both careful to always wear long skirts and to shun the sight of strangers. It is a tribute to desperation and care that for twelve years, the family actually succeeded in hiding their secret even from the slaves and common-laborers on their own plantation.<br/><br/>But in the thirteenth year, Yevdra began to show the dainty, goatlike nubs of horns on her temples, and they knew the game was lost. The young tiefling suffered through the painful ordeal of having her horns sawn short three times, but cloaks and hoods were undependable in the Delhumide breezes, and the family knew that time was running out. Plans were made, gold was carefully secreted off the books, and Shameviq, always a very literate man, undertook a new interest in the art of sketching. He made many sketches of landmarks along the routes his cherries took on their way to Two Stars, began keeping careful records and sketches of the marks and seals attached to the writs of passage he had to obtain when going to negotiate the sales of his cherries in cities such as Umratharos and Surthay. He experimented with reproducing them, burning the results of all but his best attempts, storing the most successful in hidden places but trying every night to better them.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, all these preparations came to naught.<br/><br/>In the twins' thirteenth year, a Red Wizard came to administer tests, once again, to Dyernina. Just in case some magical affinity had manifested in her since her birth. Of course, he came without warning. Of course, he would not be put off or delayed. In the hurried rush to get one child hidden and the other into the room where the Red Wizard waited, the inevitable mixup occurred. The gods do love the crudest jokes. The wizard was a specialist, and knew exactly what he was looking at...Not merely magical talent, but also the characteristic features of the offspring of Druxus Rhym. He was in no way disappointed.<br/><br/>Within the hour, Druxus Rhym received the pleasant news that he now owned one of the more prosperous cherry plantations on the Thay...And more significantly, that two new, special students were en route to his summer house in Delhumide.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Secret History: The School of Druxus Rhym</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Much to their surprise, the twins did not find themselves in great trouble. Oh, there was discipline in the House of Druxus Rhym, but the real threat, never spoken directly but strongly hinted, was that their parents were hostages to their performance. Not merely obedience, but performance -- the better they served their new master, the better their parents would fare.<br/><br/>The real trauma was not the relocation or the strange household they found themselves in, but their separation. Tieflings were treated differently in the House of Druxus Rhym. She almost never saw her sister except in moments of privilege when both their teachers agreed it would make a suitable reward. With these goads, Yevdra became an exceptionally diligent student.<br/><br/>And it was not easy, being a tiefling bastard of the Zulkir. Yevdra quickly found that she was neither alone in this regard, nor even exceptional. At any time, there were between a half-dozen and a dozen such young bastards studying in the palatial building. Half-brothers and half-sisters all, there was very little love lost between them; competition was fierce, and any opportunity to injure or suborn a sibling was used to its limit. To the already overwhelming pressure to perform was added a desperate drive to grow stronger simply to protect one's self, to have some say in how one was used or abused at the cruel drive of the other students in whose mouths the words 'brother' and 'sister' were only the darkest mockeries of affection. They were all assigned slaves, and in short order Yevdra, like all the rest, began abusing her own to relieve the frustration and powerlessness she felt. She was acutely aware that in the thrall of the Zulkir, she was a slave in all but name...And it would only take one foolish mistake to become one in reality. Yevdra bent to her studies with a will, and when time permitted she exercised in her room, determined to be bigger, stronger, tougher than some of her half-siblings who relied only upon the magic they were taught.<br/><br/>Magic was a core element of the school. It seemed that all the bastards of Druxus Rhym had strong magical potential, and like many other Zulkir, he used them as agents once they had become powerful enough. This trust was a reward, but it was accompanied by geases and strict rules. Additionally, they were made painfully aware that if they went any place they were not permitted, the papers and writs they carried would result in their arrest and return to the school. Students thus returned were permitted to study, but were slaves in every respect, as the collars welded around their throats reminded them.<br/><br/>In other words, such students were utterly helpless.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">More Secrets, The Time of Troubles, and the Humble Narrator's Uncertainty</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(Alas, here your faithful narrator ran out of verbiage and time, and needs must resort to bullet points to reflect some of the strange and mysterious events which have befallen Yevdra in recent years!)<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>Unable to do as well at ranged magics (Shaky flaw, -2 on range), she turns to touch magics.

With her mixed facial features, she can get away with it. She mounts and glues different, more dramatic horns over her own, seeking to disguise herself from the Red Wizards. Puts on more muscle and a little weight to round it slightly (she's neither 'fat' nor even 'chubby' but she's somewhat lush, particularly through the hips...Just enough to lend softness to her muscular form). Unfortunately,  her magical tattoos refuse to be tattooed over. No matter what she does, they show through.</li><li>Her goal is to get as far as she can from the power of Druxus Rhym.

She is not fanatically opposed to slavery (she would approve, for example, of people who were legally enslaved until they worked off a debt and were treated and taken care of well), but she is very opposed to cruelty towards slaves and helpless children.</li><li>Since coming to Waterdeep, she has slowly worked her way up from ""caravan guard"" to ""problem-solver"" and ""trouble-shooter"" of many different types of trouble, quite a few of which involve the deeps below the city.</li><li>She has abandoned all service to Loviatar, and is known by her new name to some few at the temple of Sharess, but she tends to frequent a small Mulhorandi temple to Bast, the aspect of the goddess goddess which she truly worships.

Born 1330 the month of Kythorn, The Time of Flowers. Was 28 during Time of Troubles.<br/><strong>Race</strong>: Tiefling<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Bisexual<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5'9”<br/><strong>Class</strong>: Rogue 2, Cleric 6<br/><strong>Alignment</strong>: CG<br/><br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong><br/><br/>She looks like a youthful young woman, full of life. Selena displays a demeanor of supreme calm and control tinted with a soft cunning smile that often hints in the slight creases of her lips. She has striking brown hair that gently glistens in the light. Her skin is slightly tanned, adding a hint of exoticness to her already alluring features. Among most men, Selena possess what they would call, the perfect body. Courtesy of her demonic heritage, her body is naturally sculpted. Her bosom full and intoxicating. Her curves luscious. Her rear-end a delicious rounded arch. Selena is toned. In excellent shape and it shows.<br/><br/>Her normal attire is quite modest, not revealing an ounce of flesh beyond the social norms. She tends to dress in a full black or dark brown leather ensemble with a matching cloak and cowl to further cover herself up. She tends to look inconspicuous and blends into a crowd with little effort (a practiced skill she maintains). Few men or women can guess at the statuesque form which awaits them underneath, until she stands before them, unclad.<br/><br/>Aside from her body, her next most striking features are her faintly glowing purple eyes and her prehensile tail. Usually hidden among her hair, are her two horns. Sweeping back along the slope of her skull, just as it begins to fall to the ears, then arching up ever so slightly at the tips.<br/><br/><strong>Personality and Background</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/><strong>Personality</strong><br/><br/>Growing up in Waterdeep, being the daughter to a Paladin, prowling the streets of the city, possessing the blood of a Succubus, and being a priestess to the goddess of the weave have made Selena a woman with a fractal of personality traits. Among those who don't know who she really is, she is a social chameleon. Her personality adapts to the environment she is in, while retaining her core traits – chiefly, her intelligent sharp minded insight nestled with her insatiable roaming hungry eyes. <br/><br/>Selena adores sex, yet refrains from it often. She has a noble bearing yet can be as crude as an uncouth adventurer. Among her traits which do not bend, are her strong will and her determination to serve her goddess. Yet, Selena isn't a fanatic. She often spends time among other matters. On occasion she can also be seen participating in festivities dedicated to the goddess Sharess. <br/><br/>Being a Tiefling, one of demonic taint, has certainly had its affect on her. She is always lured by sex, but uses the training and will given her by her Paladin father, to keep it from devouring her life. Even when refraining, she still will let her eyes linger and her mouth water. <br/><br/>She is a kind woman, but tolerates no stupidity. She is not pious, but yet dedicated. Her Paladin fathers overt piousness, an obviously common trait in Paladins, was a big turn off for her in her early years. It still remains a turn off, but one more moderated by experience and gained wisdom. Selena enjoys life and does let dark times diminish her pursuit of her particular brand of happiness. <br/><br/><strong><br/>Background</strong><br/><br/>Selena had been born to a powerful wizard and one of his harem; themselves either born from his bound Succubus concubine or from her daughters. He had been attempting to breed girls who could pass as Human, yet retained much of their great grand mothers demonic sexual appetites. Selena had been the first and only success.<br/>   <br/>The church of Tyr had caught on to the wizards dark dealings many months prior to Selena's birth and had slowly been gaining evidence against him. When they had stormed his private residence, having trapped him in his home via aid from other wizards, they arrested him. They slew the Succubus, and were surprised to find the harem and even more so, the little girl. They had known about the Succubus, and had known enough of his plans, but nothing had prepared them for an entire harem and a child.<br/>   <br/>All but Selena and her mother were released into the care of a Celestial who had been sent down by Tyr, as they were too obviously demonic in nature to have any chance of living a normal life on the material plane. <br/>   <br/>This still left little Selena and her mother. After much debate of what to do with them, a Paladin by the name of Hydell Vicors stepped forth and offered to raise the girl and take in her mother. He vowed to teach them both the ways of righteousness. He claimed Tyr, himself, wanted this. After several days of communion, the clergy agreed. They had felt the same feeling as Hydell did. Selena and her mother were officially taken in by Hydell. He would later adopt Selena, coming to love her like his own daughter.<br/>   <br/>When Selana had been 17, she had been constantly running off. She could feel her demonic heritage nagging and tugging at her. It drove to her distraction at times. She engaged in sexual intercourse with several boys during this period, becoming quite taken with the act. Her fathers protectiveness had aggravated her and her own youthful cluelessness drove a wedge between them.<br/>   <br/>When she had turned 18, she had met up with a female adventurer from the far away east of Faerun, who had no qualms about seducing a Tiefling. While the experienced proved quick, it left a lasting impression on her. Selena quickly became bisexual.<br/>   <br/>During this time, she also learned her thieving ways, being quite good at going unnoticed. Selena understood the reaction people would have towards her and thus wore cloaks to conceal herself. She learned the art of the Rogue mostly on her own. Though, for a short period of time she had learned from one of her enamored lover boys, a street urchin. He was eventually arrested one day, and she had only found out about it by accident. <br/>   <br/>Despite her rebelliousness against her pious father, she stilled loved him, and was wise enough to realize that his over protectiveness wasn't actually over protectiveness. He was being that way because the world was a dangerous place for one with demon's blood, even if only a little. So, slowly, she worked her need to rebel out of her system and decided she needed to look into the various pantheon's and see if any of the gods or goddesses were for her. They could offer meaning to her aimless life.<br/>   <br/>Not surprisingly, one of the first goddesses Selena experimented with, was Sharess. For a few months, the pleasurable excess of the faith swooned and enamored Selena. However, it wouldn't stick. Selena had too much of Tyr's dogma imbedded in her. It hadn't been enough for her to want to join his clergy, but enough that being a pure hedonist simply hadn't been fulfilling. Still, Selena had felt a draw to Sharess, and to this day, still pays homage to Sharess and often takes part in her festivities. <br/>   <br/>In the end, it was Mystra who attracted the full attention of Selena. The clergy did not care about her heritage. The proection of the weave could be accomplished by anyone who followed the will of Mystra. For the first time, outside of her father and mothers love (and among the occasional stranger), Selena felt openly welcomed with no ill feelings towards her demonic blood. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Witness to Divinity</strong><br/><br/>During the time of troubles, Selena had the privelage to witness the new, soon to be, incarnation of Mystra do battle. It had been there, over Waterdeep, on a bright cloudy day, when loud bangs and ruckus crashes sounded over the skies. Magical light particles and energy remnants rained down to the streets and roofs below. Selena had rushed out from the temple, fearing that another Sharan attack had come. Instead, she looked up, in awe. <br/><br/>She had heard of Midnight, many had. She had freed Mystra, the previous incarnation, before her death at the hands of Helm. Word had come to the church, who feared all they had worked for was for naught. Selena had felt something special about Midnight that day. <br/><br/>For Mystra dueled Myrkul, the former god of death. It had been a fearsome duel. Beyond inspiring mere awe. The memory of which is permanently seared into Selena's mind. She had watched raptly as the violent exchange occurred overhead. Further, being witness to Midnights ascension to Mystra, vehemently solidified Selena's belief in the goddess of the weave. <br/><br/>It is an event she fondly remembers often and one she uses to bring her courage in times it has abandoned her. <br/><br/></div></div><br/><strong>Her Role and her Notable Achievements</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Role Within Church of Mystra</strong><br/><br/>For her first years, she served as any initiate would. She spent much of her time studying and learning of Arcane lore. When she quickly mastered that and they learned of her Roguish skills, they realized the value. They quickly began to utilize her street skills and ability at night time operations. <br/><br/>When not within Waterdeep on a mission nor abroad on a mission, Selena doesn't consider her activities much of anything special. She tends to research a lot, honing her mind, so she can quickly bring up information should it be useful. She also spends time building up connections on the streets of Waterdeep, as well as spends time socializing with Wizards – learning ways to deal with magic and those who wield it. <br/><br/>When on missions, she is often sent covertly or overtly to gather information and or to observe. She is not among the best fighters. Though, her prowess with Divine magic is considerable. Chief among this, is her ability to counter magic. Thus when it is known that she might engage a Wizard, she is sent with backup, so she can focus on countering the wizards magic. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Renown</strong><br/><br/>Selena is by no means a legend among the Sword coast, not even among her church. However, she is fairly known among the churches of Mystra that exist along the Sword coast. Many don't know what she looks like, but have heard of her name. <br/><br/>Among the denizens of Waterdeep, she is as well known as she is unknown. Most people who know her, are the other clergy of the various good aligned churches. Who she has helped from time to time. Several of Waterdeep's lords have heard of her, either in passing, or in detail. A few reputable nobles know her. Many of the those not of noble blood also know of her, due to her habit of keeping ties with those who roam the streets – often in the less savory locations of the city.<br/><br/>Yet despite her reputation, it is but a modest one in comparison. Her skill at being a hidden hand of Mystra has allowed to her to remain anonymous to the vast majority of Faerun. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Aiding the Clergy of Eilistraee</strong><br/><br/>Among her most notable activities within the church of Mystra, were the times she aided the Drow of Eilistraee. Who make a base within the Promenade of Eilistraee underneath Waterdeep, and who operate around the area as well as the Sword Coast. <br/><br/>Her first mission was nothing more than being the middle-woman between the two churches, with a short but intense fight at the end of the operation. The Eilistraee priestesses had discovered an outpost of Vaeuraunite Drow with a potentially dangerous magical item (possibly an artifact) and requested aid. Word got to the clerics of Mystra and Selena was sent among others. <br/><br/>During her short stay with the Drow, she became infatuated with their swarthy looks and resolved herself to pursuing a relationship with any willing. During this time, she befriended a Drow named Amdra'ee'esril, and was taught the Drow language. Selena would later find out that Amdra was equally as infatuated with her, as she was with the Drow. Amdra was relatively young for a Drow and eager to experience other races and cultures, as she was cloistered among her race and faith. They became lovers for a short time, but decided to break it off and just be friends. Their paths were too different for their anything romantic to last. However, when the two cross paths, they always allow themselves a taste of what they shared for that short time. <br/><br/>She would go on to help the clergy two more times, gaining more and more of their trust and respect. She would help them and the Lords of Waterdeep, root out Lolth worshipping Drow sympathizers within the very city of Waterdeep. Then later she would help them rescue one of their agents before the agent could be taken to Skullport. For her aid, she was gifted with a Drow Piwafwi, crafted to endure the light of the surface world, and with combating Drow in mind. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Aiding the Church in the Time of Troubles</strong><br/><br/>Shortly after the time of Troubles began, Shar made a hasty bid to destroy as much of Mystra's clergy, in the hopes of completely destroying her rivals power base or at least severely weakening it. Waterdeep was among the first targets around Faerun, as its status and size meant the Church of Mystra was proportionately large. The attacks came covertly, later openly, and were destructive. Selena had only just become a full Priestess, when the attacks had begun. Never one that was superb at combat, nevertheless, Selena fought hard. She had found a home among the accepting clergy and fought like with ardor against the Sharan agents. <br/><br/>She had been able to claim several kills to her credit as she personally delivered the request for aid to the various allied churches. The Paladins of Tyr were quick to react, partly due to her father's actions. After several drawn out days, the Sharan agents had been killed or driven out. Selena was recognized for her bravery. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Notable Activities</strong><br/><br/>-Selena has fed valuable information to the Paladins of Tyr on more than one occasion. <br/>-On one interesting occasion, Selena helped Wardens of Helm acquire a potent magical item from a dangerous Wizard. She then negotiated for its release to the church of Mystra. <br/>-She aided the Church of Sharess when they were accused of consorting with Succubi and Incubi. While it was actually a minor affair, her show of devotion to the ideals of Sharess, was appreciated and noted by the local clergy. <br/>-She underwent a dangerous mission into the City of the Dead, Waterdeeps cemetery, and aided in its success among a group of Mystran clerics and Paladins. She was gifted with her current Morningstar, Crossbow, and armor as her reward. <br/>- <br/><br/></div></div><br/><strong>Sexual Aspects</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/><strong>Sexual History</strong>: For years, Selena was not aware of the alure that women held. She was strictly heterosexual. She often slept with the young men she was around as a rogue among the streets of Waterdeep. She experimented with her sexuality, often mindlessly using and sometimes, abusing the boys. It was during her rebellious period in life, and thus cared little for the feelings of others. She was never cruel, but her absentmindedness sometimes had a similar result. However, most of the young men were simply happy to have attracted the attention of such a mind numbingly alluring woman who had no inhibitions regarding sex. <br/><br/>During one of her stays in an inn that catered to the adventuring type, she attracted the attention of a strong warrior woman from the North. The woman had strong white skin, fiercely blond hair, and ice blue eyes. She was amazingly attractive and assertive. She hit on Selena so hard, the poor young Tiefling had had no clue what had hit her until she woke up the next morning in the arms of the Northern woman. <br/><br/>Selena had been utterly ravished and had loved every moment of it. She could not have ever imagined a woman being able to do that to her. Since that fateful night, Selena began to notice how attractive women were. She began to notice how their hair framed their faces. How their hips swayed as they walked. She found herself swimming in their eyes. It had been so exciting. Nevertheless, she remained equally attracted to men. Thus, she became Bisexual and never looked back. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Sexuality</strong>: Unlike other, “normal” Tieflings, whose link to their full-blooded demon or devil lineage is watered down over two or three generations, Selena's was only “watered down” by the same father having sex with each successive generation. Thus her Succubus traits are a bit stronger than they would be otherwise.<br/><br/>Selena feels much more sexual desire than is considered normal for a Human being. For the most part, she has learned to suppress the urges thanks to her father and her duty as a clergy member. Still, she isn't a prude and nor is she stingy. She finds the prospect of monogamy to be just about dreadful unless she meets someone who truly captures her heart. Until then, she is rarely with a lover for more than a few weeks. If she finds someone really interesting, it might last a few months. She will sleep with a previous lover again, but as long as its understood that its not necessarily a rekindling of the old relationship – though this does not preclude it. <br/><br/>She has no particular leanings as far as men or women. She goes for whoever strikes her fancy first. If she happens to sleep with more women for a time, its no reflection on her attitude of men. Selena will eventually find some luscious man and snatch him up. The same is true vice versa. <br/><br/>People whom Selena works with are fair game in her mind, so long as they are willing. Thus far, she has had two lovers from among the clergy of Mystra. <br/><br/>Among a few of the establishments that she frequents, she had earned the reputation of being a bit of a sexual predator. The owners don't really care, for the most part, so long as no trouble comes of it. Especially since most of the establishments cater to adventurers. They are often far more eccentric than Selena herself. This is largely why she frequents these places – to find interesting people. They make better lovers. A much less sensual reason exists too – many often have knowledge of locations of magical caches or ancient magic libraries that she then reports to the church. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Sexual Preference</strong>: Selena prefers Humanoids, but could be willing to try out other races if tempted. She secretly wonders what it would be like to have sex with a divine – chiefly, Mystra. Whom she holds a strong flame for. After having seen Midnight fight Myrkul, Selena became increasingly enamored with the new goddess. <br/><br/>Selena is a switch, willing to be submissive (a bit) or more dominate. However, thanks to her Succubus heritage, she usually finds herself being dominant more often. She just feels more drawn to control in the bed. Yet, like the woman from the north, if someone can commandeer Selena, she will find submissiveness equally as hot and sexy. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Fetishes</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/>Despite her best efforts to reign in her sexual desires to a more manageable level, Selena constantly finds her lists of sexual likes and fetishes growing. <br/><br/>-Selena loves breasts. Her favorite thing to do, besides suckling on them, is to lay her cheek between a pair of soft warm breasts and cuddle. <br/><br/>-Selena is addicted to using her prehensile tail during sex. She will grope, stroke, wrap, fondle, fuck and any thing else, with her tail. She also can't get enough of having her tail stroked. Its a huge erogenous zone for her. Big time. Just as much as her breasts. <br/><br/>-Drow are absolutely smoking hot to Selena and they have taken on a very sexualized form in her mind. She knows most Drow can't be trusted; she still thinks their hot, but she only tries for Drow of Eilistraee. Sleeping with one gives her deep satisfaction. <br/><br/>-A bit of a guilty pleasure in her mind, Selena enjoys watching others have sex. This isn't one she gets to participate in often, as most establishments that deal in this are far to shady for her likes. The occasional Sharess festivities sometimes have a few couples willing to let her watch. <br/><br/>-Twins would be a fantasy come true. If Selena finds someone attractive enough to have sex with, then having two of them would be amazing. It doesn't matter if they are male or female; though, two men would be a bit less entertaining for the men as she refuses to have anal sex. Thus, two twin females would be more ideal in her mind – especially since she harbors the desire to dominate them both.<br/></div></div></div></div><br/><strong>Allies/Connections</strong><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/><strong>Street Rats/Urchins</strong>: Selena maintains a connection to her seedier past that she participated in during her youth. She remains friends with some and brings food or other items in exchange for being kept abreast of the rumor mill. When she wants concrete knowledge, she offers coin. <br/><br/><strong>Clergy of Eilistraee</strong>: Having helped the priestesses of Eilistraee on several occasions, she had earned their trust and made a few friends among the terse Drow. Chief among them is her former lover and good friend Amdra. Selena doesn't and can't expect aid every time she requests it, but knows they will likely help if her need is big enough. <br/><br/><strong>Hydell Vicors</strong>: Her father is still a prominent member of the Paladin Order of Tyr, and through him, she likely could receive aid if the need is great enough. Though, she hasn't asked him for any help to date. <br/><br/><strong>Church of Mystra</strong>: And of course, she can count the fellow members of her clergy, as solid allies. So long as her goals align with their goddesses, she can count on their aid. They won't just go out of their way to help her, but she is a trusted member of the clergy and fairly well known for her exploits among the Mystran clergy along the Sword Coast. <br/></div></div>"

Her idea of beauty can vary from strong personality, cute fur patterns, warm looks or a muscular Orc. Cheyenne doesn't mind which gender you have or don't have. Cheyenne is just as likely to appreciate long hair &amp; soft cheeks as she is to admire tight muscles &amp; a well placed scar. Totally inhuman species are something that are more situational as Cheyenne doesn't have <em>any</em> experience with them. Undead are a particular problem - Cheyenne views them as tortured souls &amp; unnatural. So whilst she may feel something for an undead creature, Cheyenne would either have to be tricked into an intimate act - or more likely end up crying as she destroyed the creature if she did feel for them. Cheyenne will sometimes lead ceremonies where intimate &amp; pleasurable acts are shared with any who approach - though how far any particular act goes is still up to her. But this has lead to a reputation of a very open minded women who can find beauty even in the most 'ugly' of hags &amp; species. It's said to share Cheyenne's bed is to be transformed about your own body. (Sometimes literally - if she can invoke the blessing of her goddess's)<br/><br/><strong>Appreciation of Beauty:</strong> Cheyenne will talk with a very honest nature about the aspects she likes within others. People can be quite surprised by what she sees and admires. Every race have their own beauty &amp; love within - the exception being the Undead. But they literally burn their souls &amp; forgo all goodness to fuel their immortal forms - so they can no longer truly feel love... Just the empty desire of beauty, lust and power...<br/><br/><strong>Rape:</strong> Non-consensual acts will probably leave Cheyenne filled with anger - but strength and power are a form of beauty &amp; have an attraction to them. So it's not impossible. But you'd have to lead with a lot of teasing &amp; sexual intensity prior to an act. I could see playful combat &amp; a good use of the disarming 'worn objects'/sleight of hand talents leading to more consensual acts.<br/><br/><strong>Fetishes:</strong> Cheyenne doesn't have a great depth in this field. The beauty of clothing turned into art &amp; even artistic bondage is definitely something she does enjoy. Acts of power would definitely find a way with Cheyenne. Cheyenne isn't afraid of being observed &amp; simply enjoys sharing her pleasures. Though taking someone whose close minded into a situation where they are outside of their comfort zone would definitely add to the appeal of an act - whether they are observing or participating. On that thought, multiple partners are welcome. Cheyenne isn't afraid to tackle unusual creatures &amp; weird body parts in her pleasures. <br/><br/><strong>Fey:</strong> Cheyenne is both terrified &amp; respectful of the Fey. She honestly believes they know your dark secrets - and if you ever harm or refuse the fey - they will all know! She will gladly enjoy Fey, entertain them &amp; try to entice them to happiness, warmth &amp; laughter until she's past their territory. But she will be hard pressed to refuse requests of fey - though, if they demand evil acts of Cheyenne, she will turn and fight them - or at least try to educate them about their wrongs.<br/><br/><strong>Marriage:</strong> Given that Cheyenne finds her faith tied within Sune, Sharess &amp; Lliira, the chances of Cheyenne settling into a single marriage would be slim. But it isn't impossible. Though Cheyenne definately has a better chance of seducing her goddess's...<br/><br/><strong>Redemption:</strong> It's possible Cheyenne may try &amp; redeem a truly evil soul. If Cheyenne feels the creature was once a good person &amp; they lost their way - or perhaps they are just a creature whose never known anything besides evil (like a Demon/Devil). If Cheyenne does, she will mix acts of remorse, guilt &amp; drawing out memories of the creatures past - with touches of love &amp; kindness. Sex &amp; sensual acts will be a part of her therapy. Given Cheyenne's nature &amp; alignment, a Chaotic Evil has a strong chance of being romantically appealing &amp; worth redeeming. This is perhaps one of the few ways that Cheyenne might choose to settle down with a creature. Because redeeming true evil requires a great depth of intimacy.<br/><br/><strong>Player Preferences:</strong> I'm pretty open. I definitely swoon for both genders - though I tend to fall for handsome older males &amp; have a weakness for bad boy/bad girl/bad -everything-. I also enjoy bond villains - the type you can sit down &amp; enjoy a meal with, before respectfully moving away from their painting collection &amp; then drawing swords to duel. Race wise, I'm not too fussy either. Though I can confess blood makes me dizzy so try not to get too messy in a post. Power plays are a strong reaction. Demons, Devils &amp; Dragons are a particular weakness of mine.<br/><br/><strong>Contraceptives:</strong> Cheyenne will be taking nararoot - until she finds someone to settle with or one of her goddess's tells her it's time to stop.<br/><br/><strong>Deities:</strong> Sune, Lliira &amp; Sharess. The Three Beauties that Cheyenne follows. They might be vying for her attentions - or you might just assume that one is the best fit &amp; has the strongest claim to Cheyenne. I'm not quite sure who she'd be tied to best yet - but I'm hoping a little bit of play will show clearly which of the three she takes after the most. If anyone has a particular feeling of who might fit best, please do air your thoughts. Worshipers of all three can easily call upon Cheyenne's services - and she has a welcome home in most of their churches.<br/><br/><strong>Divine Healing:</strong> Cheyenne doesn't have Lay on Hands - but she does have cure spells &amp; she'll engage them in a more intimate fashion. Gentle caresses &amp; loving kisses over the wounds - perhaps wrapping the wounded within the soft cocoon of her feathered wings. It's said to receive on of Cheyenne's spells is to experience a moment of bliss - but if you want to know you'll have to try it yourself.<br/><br/><strong>Moral Shortcomings:</strong> Cheyenne is an exalted character. She will push morals to their limits. Her shortcomings include hope, seeing the best in people &amp; being attracted to the wrong sorts for an angelic character. Cheyenne isn't afraid to die at all. Though she'll fight to stay alive if she believes others are afraid to fight for themselves. She won't waste her life - but you'd be hard pressed to 'force' Cheyenne into evil acts. Cheyenne would rather force the bad guy into destroying her. Her future class features include bonuses &amp; eventual immunity against compulsion &amp; mind effecting effects. So good luck trying to 'control' Cheyenne by magic or tricks. But - it's possible Cheyenne might choose to commit a minor evil &amp; risk all she is - if she felt it was the opening she needed to redeem a soul. Redeeming a true evil is a difficult path &amp; it will require risk on her part. But the reward is turning a force of evil into a force of goodness for all eternity... And her Goddess's will forgive her eventually. Their too nice not too!<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Cheyenne's History</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Cheyenne was a tribeswoman from the Western Heartlands. Her mother raised Cheyenne as a huntress &amp; warrior for the tribe. Cheyenne always had a well deep passion within her. A dark well of strength &amp; passion that could let her push herself beyond her limits - and leave the other children quivering behind her. Her mother said she had the spirits within her - a way to reach out and touch the darkness, bringing it into the light. Cheyenne's tribe touched many dark spirits. Their shaman spoke with the darkness &amp; used them to draw truths. But Cheyenne never showed a cruelty of personality to match her ferocious depths.<br/><br/>As Cheyenne &amp; the other children grew, they were taught a dark rite. A rite that could offer them dark power &amp; transform them into creatures of terrifying power. When they came of age, they all joined together for the ceremony. The children were stripped bare &amp; painted with magic infused herbs. They would drink, sing &amp; dance about the camp before slipping off into the woods. There they would spend the night in seclusion - alone with just the spirits to guide their transition.<br/><br/>For Cheyenne, her path opened towards a different kind of spirit. Where most found darkness within the forest, Cheyenne's inner light guided her deep into fey woods - a place none dared tread. Behind her, dogs howled &amp; beasts bayed - angered as she fled their control. But before Cheyenne, a moonlight glade opened up. Flowers bloomed into the light. Blossoming before the evening creating a rainbow of color about the glade. From the pool at the center of a glade, a trifled laughter could be heard. Slowly, true beauty broke from the surface &amp; rose before Cheyenne. Pure beauty, confined within a woman's shape. A pure being with a voice like crystal. She stood naked &amp; beckoned Cheyenne. Cheyenne didn't hesitate - entranced by such perfection. She watched, mesmerized as the woman's gesture burned the magics from her skin. Her kiss cleared the shroud of heavy drink from her mind. Her touch kindles new desires. A second kiss took a more playful attitude as Cheyenne was lured into the depths. The waters rippled as they joined in a new rite - one of beauty &amp; passion.<br/><br/>When the light awoke Cheyenne, she remembered it all. Even the woman's strange words. She had been told to seek the beautiful goddess's within the Northlands. A strange place where people live in stone forests. They all live together - yet have no tribe to call their own. But one might find a place - within the temples. Cheyenne had been chosen. Chosen and called - awaking a new fire within her. A passion &amp; desire.<br/><br/>Cheyenne's mother had been a tribeswoman - descended from a line tainted with darkness. But her father had been a traveler she'd saved. He'd been a man of exquisite beauty - and his bed had been her reward for saving his life. He left her with an old blade, etched with pictures &amp; names from his family line. A blade she would place in Cheyenne's hands before adding Cheyenne's name to it. Both parents came of blood mixed with the spirits - though one was dark, the other light. In Cheyenne, both had battled within her. But in the end, perhaps with a little nudge from the nymph, the light had won. Holy magics had drawn Cheyenne into the path of the light - and set her on a journey away from darkness.<br/><br/>Cheyenne had a hard journey across the lands. Orcs &amp; Undead ruled the Heartlands - forcing Cheyenne to join merchants. Though she soon found a love of their tales &amp; music. And they found her passion &amp; strength a powerful force during battle. Slowly they taught Cheyenne of the world and it's strange ways. But as much as Cheyenne could learn the ways of others - she was never dishonest about herself. Cheyenne was still a simple woman at heart - enjoying simple pleasures. She placed great pride in claiming reward for a service beyond the norm. Often she'd ask for a new song or tale - but her favorite prize was a kiss from the lips of one in which she found beauty. Her tastes were not always like the others though - for Cheyenne saw beauty in all forms. Scarred Orcs held power whilst gnolls held a warmth - only the Undead turned her stomach. Life &amp; Death were absolutes - not something mortals should command. The gods might deny death - but a mortal should accept their fate.<br/><br/>Within the city - the stone forest, Cheyenne found it very strange. On one corner wonders could stand before all - and the next reeked with darkness &amp; cruelty. The city could smell like a flower blooming or bread baking - or rancid fruits &amp; horse droppings. But to Cheyenne, she took such a simple view of the world. It seemed so clear. She stood up - willingly before any. She would stand for the meek &amp; infirm. Hold against cruelty &amp; harshness. Her fingers left loving strokes on every soul she brushed - and harsh bruises of every evil she smote. Her kind nature sought trouble like an alcoholic drowning in a river of ale. But as the walls of darkness rose about her - political pressure &amp; savvy villains who rode the fine lines of law like kites in the winds - Cheyenne found a grace to spare her. Within the temples, Cheyenne had found her beauties. Goddess's whose ways taught freedom, passion, love &amp; high spirits. Kindness &amp; goodness. And they rewarded Cheyenne's deep kindness &amp; trusting nature by elevating her to their Paladin! And what fool could stand against the word of a paladin? Especially one backed by three churches!<br/><br/>To mark Cheyenne's new role, one of the goddess's offered Cheyenne some inspiration. Taking the dark rites she'd once learnt a lifetime ago, Cheyenne adapted it into a ceremony of the light. Cheyenne once again stripped herself bare &amp; called all the artists who dared to paint her bare body in holy oils. Then she spent the night spinning &amp; dancing about the temple hearth. Offering pleasure &amp; kindness to any who came to her that night, Cheyenne awoke the next morning wreathed not in darkness but in feathers. Feathered wings adorned her back - red as passion, breaking into beautiful yellow tips!<br/><br/>All who came to visit Cheyenne the next day, were welcome to watch as she etched her new form into the blade her father had left. She worked at it's hilt, reworking tired and worn metal with fresh metal. This metal shone like copper - blazing red &amp; gold in the sunlight. And it took the form of two curved wings, spreading out to guard the wielder's hands. She used the last of the holy oils from her ceremony to seal her strength within it - enchanting the blade with holy power.<br/><br/>Now any who stood against Cheyenne were confront not by a simpleton nor a mere paladin. But an angel in the making. Cheyenne's presence within the city became a political hot potato. None could risk trying to cast doubt upon her. Far too many of the smaller folks stood behind her, ready to cry foul of any whom might betray her. The Goddess's even called her a favorite! Leaving Cheyenne a new symbol of all that was free &amp; loving...<br/><br/>Perhaps this was why the City Watch reached out to Cheyenne. Their paths had crossed often - but even when the laws bound their hands, Cheyenne had been kind to the watch. Now when the darkness found Cheyenne too dangerous to hold, they tried to distract her with problems besides themselves... Hoping to offer her new opponents besides their own corruption.<br/><br/>It's said that each year, upon the Goddess's favored day, you may seek out Cheyenne &amp; dedicate yourself to the light. To those with a truly holy spirit, she will help them elevate themselves &amp; reach out to the Goddess's, transforming their bodies to match the beauty of their spirit. This is said to be a form of holy reincarnation - though with the effect always ending in beauty. It is also said those with darkness within their hearts will only find themselves trapped within the depths of ruined souls.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Notable Equipment</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Mercy Sword: Cheyenne's greatsword is a merciful blade capable of both stunning her foes &amp; shining with a holy light that burns evil foes. But it's also capable of dealing merciful blows that don't cut the skin - leaving her foes alive &amp; unconscience after her attacks.<br/><br/>Tesselated Armor: Cheyenne is often seen without armor - but it takes just one word for a small pouch she carries to burst open, as a sea of small crackled quartz swarms over her body &amp; forms itself into a perfect, seemless suit of armor. This armor looks similar to full plate - but barely seems to impede Cheyenne in combat. Another word sends the armor back into it's pouch. It's said that Cheyenne crafted the pieces for the armor herself, using quartz from a statue that was shattered during an accident within the church once. They say it took a year to craft all the pieces - and that Cheyenne made it as punishment for the statue she broke.<br/><br/>'Sword of Conscience' Scroll: This scroll is a very rare &amp; powerful spell known only to the few paladins of the churches. Once cast, it's said to trap the target inside a web of their own memories - and it forces them to deal with the guilt of all the wrong they have ever done. The victims awaken changed from the experience - though the toll is so great that many break down or even die from the burden of their past... Cheyenne is said to use these scrolls only on the most wicked &amp; vile foes. She says it's the start of the path to redemption - if only the evil creatures will let her into their hearts.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Character Sheet WIP</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td>Str:</td><td>14</td><td> +2 </td><td>Name:</td><td>Cheyenne</td><td>HP:</td><td>65</td></tr><tr><td>Dex:</td><td>14</td><td> +2 </td><td>Gender:</td><td>Female</td><td>Age:</td><td>23</td></tr><tr><td>Con:</td><td>14</td><td> +2 </td><td>Race:</td><td>Lesser Aasimar</td><td>Exp:</td><td>900</td></tr><tr><td>Int:</td><td>14</td><td> +2 </td><td>Sexuality:</td><td>Bisexual.</td><td>Class:</td><td>Barbarian 6 &amp; Champion 2.</td></tr><tr><td>Wis:</td><td>14</td><td> +2 </td><td>Alignment:</td><td>Chaotic Good</td><td>BaB:</td><td>+8/+3</td></tr><tr><td>Cha:</td><td>18</td><td> +4 </td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td>Fort:</td><td>+14</td><td>=</td><td>+8 Base</td><td>+2 Con</td><td>+4 Grace</td></tr><tr><td>Refl:</td><td>+8*</td><td>=</td><td>+2 Base</td><td>+2 Dex</td><td>+4 Grace</td></tr><tr><td>Will:</td><td>+8</td><td>=</td><td>+2 Base</td><td>+2 Wis</td><td>+4 Grace</td></tr><tr><td>AC:</td><td>24</td><td>=</td><td>10 Base</td><td>+10 Armor</td><td>+2 Dex</td><td>+2 Rage</td></tr></tbody></table> Flatfooted AC: 24 &amp; Touch AC: 12<br/>* +2 Reflex whilst Raging &amp; +2 Reflex vs Traps.<br/><br/>Class Abilities:<table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td> ~ </td><td>Literate: </td><td>Cheyenne can actually read.</td></tr><tr><td> ~ </td><td>Whirling Frenzy:</td><td> As 7th level Barbarian, 2/day, Provides +4 Str, +2 Dodge to AC &amp; +2 Reflex Saves.

She won't kill fey unless absolutely forced. She believes that fey know your dreams - and thus, when you've done them harm. The Fey can make people lose their way &amp; worse...<br/> ~ <strong>Impatient:</strong> Cheyenne jumps in without thinking to be afraid.<br/> ~ <strong>Father:</strong> Cheyenne is hoping to meet her father. She knows he's beautiful - an Aasimar - &amp; probably tied to one of the good goddesses. An impersonator could easily lead Cheyenne astray.<br/> ~ <strong>Predictable:</strong> Cheyenne isn't exactly a book with hidden depths. Her enemies should plan out her reactions before trying to destroy her.<br/> ~ <strong>Terrible Liar:</strong> Cheyenne comes from a culture where you don't need to lie - so she has no experience with it. She has no ranks in bluff nor sense motive.<br/> ~ <strong>Holy Ceremony:</strong> For each of the three goddess's Lliira, &amp; Sune, Cheyenne performs a ceremony on their favorite day. This ceremony is open to all to join - though only those with truly good souls will be given the benefit. If you can reflect upon the goddess's ways (choosing one or venerating all three as Cheyenne does) - and freely given love, kindness &amp; passion to all who come to you that night, then you will be transformed before the morning dawn. In this transformation much or little may change. All say you are touched by the goddess's - and most are left even more beautiful by their touch. This effect is essentially a reincarnation ceremony - but it has a decided influence of holy power &amp; beauty. The goddess's may choose to change someones gender, make hags into beauties or beauties into models, men into aasimars &amp; Aasimars into angels. It's said an orc was made into an elven maiden whilst one man was given the shape of a centaur. The goddess's are fickle creatures and their whims direct much of this power - for better or worse. But all their gifts come in some shape of beauty. Though they are just as likely to punish a man by making him understand how handsome Orcs &amp; Ogres can be as they are to make another into an Aasimar or Angel. However, Cheyenne needs to free herself for these nights. Though if she was far away the Goddess's might lend her a spell or call a cleric to transport Cheyenne to the ceremony &amp; back.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Consideration for Next Feat:</strong></span><br/> ~ <strong>Flyby Attack:</strong> Spring Attack whilst flying.<br/> ~ <strong>Awesome Smite:</strong> This allows 3 tactical maneuvers. Each can be used whilst performing a Smite Attack &amp; using Power Attack. Demolishing Smite: Your smite attack ignores up to 2xCha in Damage Reduction. Overwhelming Smite: Your smite attack can knock an opponent prone. If you hit &amp; deal damage, you perform a trip attack. Make a Strength check opposed by the defender's Strength or Dexterity, with all the normal trip modifiers. A foe that resists is not entitled to make a trip attempt against you in return. Seeking Smite: Your smite attack is uncannily guided to its target. For the purpose of this single attack, you ignore any miss chance your foe might have, though your weapon must still be able to strike the target. Thus, while this maneuver allows you to strike an incorporeal creature unerringly with a magic sword, it does not allow you to strike it with a non-magical weapon.<br/><br/><strong>Languages:</strong> Common, Condathian, Bonus: Gnoll &amp; Celestial.

His father was a great bear of a man, with a thick, rumbling baritone voice that could fill a room and inspire an audience. His mother was a gifted player of the lute, and would weave subtle chords through her husband’s stories, lifting a triumphant moment higher, or playing to make angels cry when tragedy struck. Together they made a good living, and Anton grew up in good inns. By the time Anton was eight his father and mother had been invited to work at a new venture in Waterdeep, a playhouse called “The Halls of Discovery”. The next three years were a blur of pleasure for Anton, moving around backstage, meeting other performers, watching them practice and rehearse their bits. His favorites soon came to be the actors. His father found a troupe of them and started to work with them, converting his stories into plays, with his rich baritone narrating the tale as the actors strutted and postured on stage in their finery. By the time he was 14 he his first role in a play, tramping around the stage in the guise of a goblin. That tiny taste had him addicted. He continued to act and learn from his parents and the actors until he was 18, and a wanderlust came over him. He was tired of playing out other men’s tales. He wanted to make his own! But he didn’t want his to be imaginary and fiction, he wanted to LIVE the tales, he wanted to BE the hero, and then act and narrate roles in his own life story! <br/><br/>So he set out, armed with a lute and a rapier he stole from the prop room, and sought fame and fortune. He lucked into a band of adventurers on the road outside of Waterdeep, they called themselves the “Sapphire Blade”. Their leader, a paladin by the name of Sir Alric Tilmoth, bore their namesake, a blade of sapphire that glowed with holy power. The other members of the party were a tiefling cleric of Kossuth named Grenar Flamewright, an elven wizardess by the name of Turiela Moonshade, and a Halfling rogue with the talents of sorcery called Johnny Stumbleduck. The Blade was a righteous party, determined to do good as they pursued their goals. Stumbleduck dreamed of opening his own traveling business selling rare and valuable goods. Turiela wished to amass enough power to earn a place in a wizarding guild and advance her arts. Grenar wished to spread the glory of Kossuth, primarily by purifying evil with a handy bonfire. And Alric sought to found an order of knighthood. So the party traveled the Western Heartlands in search of evil, with Anton recording their adventures and aiding where he could. His attraction to Turiela was instant and obvious, and luckily for him she returned the affection. The pair soon became a thing, snuggling into a single sleeping bag a bit separated from the party, where their giggles and moans wouldn’t disturb their slumber. He soon discovered his skills as an artist made him a master infiltrator, making use of magic and his skills with makeup to pass himself as whatever they were investigating. <br/><br/>His moment of glory came when the party was watching a coven of the Cult of the Dragon. They had seen wagons coming in, bearing the bones of some great beast into the cavern, but none knew how many were inside, or what was happening. Anton volunteered to infiltrate, and did so with gusto, garbing himself as a member of the Cult, after days of observing them talking and moving about outside their cavern he had their walk down, their mannerisms, and many of the methods of their bows and some prayers. He walked into the cavern with the next load of bones, moving as though he belonged there, and none questioned it. He moved through the halls, noting the numbers of  their foes, finding exits, where the armory was, and even the chapel. In the chapel, the largest cavern of them all, he found them assembling the bones upon the altar, with a high priest of the Cult overseeing the act. In his hand was a large gemstone crusted chest, with what looked like a crystal window on the side. Within swirled a sparking mass of energy, and Anton knew instinctively it was the soul of a dragon awaiting the formation of a body he could take possession of. He slid out quickly, pausing only long enough to sabotage the door to the armory, hoping to deprive some of the cultists of their weapons. When he returned and told the party of what transpired inside the cavern, they wasted no time, and charged. The fight was fierce and bloody, but luckily only half the cultists were able to arm themselves from a second armory Anton had missed. They fought their way to the main chapel, and faced off with the high priest, and the freshly awakened dracolich. The battle wrote the bloody end to their career as they charged in with fury and righteousness in their eyes. Grenar and Alric faced off with the dragon, their holy powers giving them an edge with the freshly awakened dracolich. Turiela and Stumbleduck moving to attack the high priest, with Anton furiously playing his songs, weaving inspiring music around them, and letting out blasts of magic whenever he was able to get a clear shot at either foe. By the end of the battle, Grenar had given his life to become a living inferno, his God granting a death prayer and transforming his devout cleric into an elemental of fire, if just for a short time. Alric lost his left arm to the draco lich, but in echange was able to shear the head off, and kill the beast. Stumbleduck had a kneecap blown off by a blast from the priest, crippling him and forcing him to use a cane for the rest of his life. Only Turiela and Anton came out relatively intact, though both had their share of wounds as well. Luckily, the Cultists had brought the dragon’s horde with the shipments of bones, and the part agreed it was time to end it, to each go their separate ways once more and perhaps meet once a year in Waterdeep to relive old glories. Anton announced his intention to return to Waterdeep, to take up a role as an actor and playwright, and immortalize their adventures in song and tale.  <br/><br/>And so he did. For the past two years he has strutted from stage to stage he has strutted, performing his art to the adulation of the crowds. Turiela and he had a tearful farewell, but Anton understood. It had been a moment in time, a temporary spurt of lust and love in the long life of an elf, and he didn’t hold it against her. Whenever she came back to town they would often hook up for another night of passion, but both knew it was not to last, that she would leave the next day, or the next week, to continue in her goal of attaining power in the Art. For Anton, the wanderlust has been rising once more, a desire for new material, for new challenges. So he has decided to see if some new band has need of a chronicler to travel with them, to immortalize their exploits to the end of time!</div></div><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Sexual preferences: </div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Anton is an actor, and a handsome devil. He views himself as mildly famous, and supported himself for some years as an actor. As a result he has had dalliances with a number of women. He prefers human and elven women, blond or red hair attracting him like a magnet. His favorites are if he finds a half elf or full blooded elf with a more human like, large bosom. He also has a bit of a fetish, kink, for Halfling ladies. A fantasy of his that he has rarely been able to indulge in is having a Halfling woman sucking him off.

His biggest issue is a bit of a gambling addiction, enjoying games of fate and trusting to Lady Luck to pull him through. In particular he loves dice games, the rattle of ivory dice in a cup a siren call that he finds hard to resist unless he had pressing business. </div></div>"

I am a binder.<br/>This is the seventh of my journals. If you possess one of the previous six, please hide it away somewhere safe for another to find; this journal contains all written in previous books, and that lesser knowledge might someday spur someone else on their search. If you possess a journal I have not yet written, please return this book to where you found it, and leave it for someone still trailing your footsteps.<br/>Guard this tome well, while it remains in your keeping. My notes on each of the vestiges I have sealed pacts with are contained within, but the knowledge inside may be more dangerous than the rituals. There are many who would seek to kill me, or worse, for I traffic with and cleave to beings that sit beyond life and death. Many priests and clerics find such truths to be unpalatable blasphemy, for nothing can exist that is not within the purview of the gods. Many wizards and would-be rulers seek immortality, and might believe it reachable by means of pact magic. A very rare few, the greatest of fools, are convinced vestigehood itself is a goal worth pursuing. Heroes would bend the powers of the ones beyond to do good. Villains would twist them for evil. The vestiges do not care about these things; they are isolated, alone. They are beyond morality, for morality is a shackle of an existence they have lost. Be you aspiring champion of Light or merciless lord of Darkness, you may set yourself to mastering the arts found within. You may succeed, but never may you make the mistake of believing you are master of the entities who take up residence within your soul. The gods cannot command a vestige beyond what its pacts allow, think not so highly of yourself and judge that you can.<br/><br/>I was not always what I am. Long ago, I was a boy, in distant Thay. My parents were freemen - peasants, but free all the same, living a simple but comfortable existence beneath the notice of the Red Wizards. I was not so lucky - a seed of arcane potential lay within my body, and the minions of the zulkirs detected that seed in one of their periodic searches. Taken from my family, I was entrusted to the harsh care and tutelage of a full Wizard, the conjurer Ivros Odesseiron, and set to work learning how to harness the spark I carried. We both suffered as a result - him in frustration at the seemly inept pupil he had been assigned, and me in pain when he took that frustration out on me for my failures. I was no great intellect; literate, but only just, and even the most basic of arcane formulae flowed through my grasp like grains of sand. Often I retired to my tiny cell hungry, nursing small burns or shocks, and I knew it was only a matter of time before Ivros grew tired of me and threw me out - or worse, sold me as a slave to recoup the investment on my failed apprenticeship. <br/><br/>But one of my duties, when I was not stumbling over basic cantrips, was cleaning. Ivros lived in a tower, one he had taken from a rival Wizard in arcane combat, and the previous owner had been a hoarder. Rooms were packed with trinkets, antiquities, and books; frequently magical, more frequently worthless junk. With effort, I could see arcane auras, and so I spent long days sorting through the storerooms in search of enchanted items Ivros could use or sell, and tomes of arcane lore he would find interesting. It was in one of those rooms that I found it. An ancient libram, centuries old, and unlabeled save for a strange sigil on the cover. It drew me like nothing ever had, and for the first time in my life, I disobeyed my master by hiding the book instead of bringing it for his perusal. My scraps of free time were spent in that storeroom, laboriously translating it line by line from the lost tongue of Nar to Mulhorandi. Slowly, it revealed to me secrets of a lost art of conjuration - rituals capable of contacting otherworldly beings beyond the planes, calling them to me, and taking their power for my own. This was a magic outside even Ivros's understanding, and so I did not share it. I suffered by day, and studied by night, until at last I thought myself ready to conduct a binding. Amon came at my call, and for a share of my place in the world, gave me his gifts for a day. But his power was too much for my flesh, and his sign was unmistakable; upon rising, Ivros would know I had conducted magic without his permission, and it would likely be my life in payment. So I fled, armed only with my tome  and the vestige within me.<br/><br/>I feared pursuit, but none came - like Ivros was simply glad to be rid of my presence and irritating lack of proficiency, and he had never known of the libram that I stole. But I could not be certain this would be true forever, and all the same Thay was no longer safe for me and my new skills. I forged west, through Thesk, and took service on a ship plying the trade routes of the Sea of Fallen Stars - the captain was suspicious, but Naberius's silvered tongue convinced him otherwise, and I pulled my weight as a seaman enough that an occasional quirk of behavior was ignored.<br/><br/>I left the sea in Cormyr, and from there traveled far and wide. Often, the signs of my partners roused ignorant villagers or suspicious guards to violence. Very rarely, someone saw them for what they were, and my fragmented knowledge grew just a bit as two outcasts bonded to outcasts exchanged tidbits of lore before going our separate ways. Where possible, I passed myself off as a sorcerer, finding odd jobs and work to sustain myself in my journeys. Once, I saw notice of a band of explorers planning an expedition to Narfell itself, at the behest of a great druid trying to cleanse cursed ruins of their corruption. That journey taught me much, both in self-sufficiency and when to rely on others, including my introduction to the faith of the elven god Fenmarel Mestarine, patron of outcasts and pariahs, by way of his priestess Hacanthra. A wild elf, she lived up to the name of her race, but saw steel beneath my mask and a kindred spirit of loneliness in a hostile world. Most nights together were spent in pursuits more primal than religion, yet we talked as well, and I saw value in taking a patron dedicated to those no one else would welcome. Whether he welcomes my devotion I have never been sure, but nor have I ever seen a sign of outright rejection.<br/><br/>Our trip to Narfell and its demon-tainted catacombs ended ultimately in failure. Of five, three of us returned - my first love one of the two lost forever. I, though, left those dark lands with a prize, and a mission. From a tome bound in human flesh, I had found the sigils of Geryon, and from a tattered scroll, only a name - Chupoclops. A mighty vestige, predator of the gods themselves in ages lost to time. Its sigil was incomplete, but more complex than any I had ever beheld before, and I shall not rest until I find the portions missing and seal the Harbinger of Forever to my soul.<br/><br/>I write here in Waterdeep, comfortably alone amidst a crowd in a tavern. The City of Splendors is a new place to me, but surely within its walls there will be a clue leading towards a pact I have not acquired, perhaps even the Harbinger itself. Somewhere in the city, I have heard of a safe house for binders, guarded by the Knights of Agares. If anyone knows where pact lore can be found, it will be a Knight of the Sacred Seal - but finding them will be challenge indeed.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Deities</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Aldros has, somewhat ironically, chosen the elven god of outcasts Fenmaril Mestarine as his patron.

Carrying a pair of utterly alien personalities in his head makes for distracted lovemaking at best, even when a solid pact prevents them from actively influencing his behavior. Free of any vestigial influence, he's most drawn to women whose bodies show they can take care of themselves - healthy and lithe or well-muscled, and preferably of similar size to himself.<br/></div></div>"

There are many such in the realms, and they range from leading the most noble, to the most ignomious of lives. This tale ends at neither extreme of those spectrums--though that is later, far later than this introduction goes. For this table begins almost thirty years ago on a stormy eve when a babe was left, still swaddled in heavy cloths to keep the rain off of it, upon the steps of an austere monastery. The monastery had been built to no god, but to the paragons of virtue, the Inevitables who protected the multiverse from the depredations of those who would steal time or rend space asunder to allow dark beings in, ones such as the world had not known since before reality had been created and the walls of creation had been put in place.<br/><br/>The cries of the babe awoke the monks from their slumber, and they stumbled outside to bring in the shivering child. ""Dale"", they called him, as many orphans were called in the Dalelands, and guided him to grow as one of their own. Days of learning passed, for they were not a monastery for martial arts, as dotted the Realms, but of learning. While he was not the most adept of students, Dale did his best and learned of various things, things from the wide outside world. And yes, after his lessons, he was often given leave to join the children of the nearby village at play, the one place he excelled as he grew up to be bigger and stronger than most boys his age.<br/><br/>Years passed, and one day the tranquility of study day in and day out was broken by an attack. Strange things opened portals in the air and slithered through. Slime-ridden tentacles and amorphous shapes flooded the air, strange creatures that seemed to exist in more than the four dimensions most beings existed in. The few monks who were unable to escape to the monastery were cut down almost immediately, and the creatures circled it, attempting to get inside at some secret the monks held, but the wards held--though not for long. Time after time the creatures banged at the walls and doors, causing crackles of light and sound to appear which pushed them back, yet each time the light appeared to grow dimmer.<br/><br/>And then salvation appeared--another portal pierced the air, and out of it came a rider in shining armor atop a horse. Glaive shining, he slew one monster after another, and despite being wounded terribly in the process, he succeeded in driving them back before fainting atop his horse. The monks were quick to come to the aid of their rescuer, and set about cleansing the numerous wounds that adorned his body and dressing them with poultices made to all the body to heal more quickly. Dale was enamored with the stranger, with how he had fought so valiantly and sacrificed himself for Dale himself, as well as the monks.<br/><br/>When the stranger came to, Dale begged him to teach him of what it meant to be a knight. The monks, sensing that Dale's time with them was coming to an end, gave their blessing, and thus Dale began to learn the meaning of the sword, spear, chain, and mace. The man, Harllin his name, took the time to teach Dale of swordcraft and some of the sorcery which he used, though Dale had little talent for the latter. Still, the day came when they clasped hands, Dale said goodbye to the monks, and rode to find his destiny.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Divine Healing</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">When using his abilities to heal, it appears almost as though time was regressing on a wound, becoming whole not because the wound is healing, but as though it had never actually been afflicted.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Deities</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">While Dale doesn't worship any specific deity to the exclusion of others, he certainly offers them thanks and calls on them in times of trouble, depending on the situation.

The Greystark coat-of-arms needs some polishing still, but it's mostly ready. What about the words? I would like to see some reference to winter here, since both Starks and Karstarks have winter in their words (Winter is coming and The sun of winter, respectively). Greystark heirloom is a Valyrian steel bastard sword named 'Howl' which is said to make a low, 'howling sound' when wielded by someone with true blood of the First Men in their veins.<br/><br/>I rolled for House Greystark's resources already, but there are still some steps to finish before it's complete. Each player needs to roll a d6 roll and link that roll here and then choose what House resource to invest that roll in. No resource can benefit from more than 2 rolls though.<br/><br/>Current stats for House Greystark are:<br/><br/>Realm: the North<br/>Liege lord: Lord of Winterfell, lord Eddard Stark<br/>Heraldry: (must include Grey)<br/>Motto: (something with Winter? Stark’s cadet branch after all)<br/>Founded: about 1500 years ago<br/><br/>Defence: 31 [30/31]<br/>•   Greyhold [Small castle; 30]<br/>Influence: 45 [45/45]<br/>•   Leynir Greystark [First-born son; 20] = Status 5<br/>•   Lowell Greystark [Second-born son; 10] = Status 4<br/>•   Elise Greystark [First-born daughter; 10] = Status 4<br/>•   Erik Greystark [Son; 5] = Status 3<br/>Lands: 47 [47/47]<br/>•   Greyhold [Plains with a river and light wood; 11]<br/>•   Greystown [Plains with a small town and road; 20]<br/>•   Greywood [Plains with a river, dense wood and ruin; 16]<br/>Law: 7<br/>Population: 20 [10/20]<br/>•   Greystown [Small town; 10]<br/>Power: 25 [20/25]<br/>•   Banner House [20]<br/>•<br/>Wealth: 21 [15/21]<br/>•   Godswood [5]<br/>•   Maester [10]<br/><br/>The resources are: Defence, Influence, Lands, Law, Population, Power and Wealth. There are some things I had already noted, because I want the house to have them, for plot reasons. Points from each resource can be invested in 'holdings' whose character depend on what resource we're talking about. For example, defence provides castles, towers, etc., influence - influential members of the household (and can be used in-game to help you influence others), lands - the domains the House controls, population - towns and smallfolk, power - military power (bannermen as well as military units) and wealth - all the structures built in the house's domains.<br/><br/>(After this step, we'll also need to flesh out our House's history - I had also rolled for historical events according to the table in the book, but we still need to flesh them out and describe them in detail.)<br/><br/>Also, SydneyDrew and Miroque should both make 2 rolls, one for House Greystark and one for their houses of origin as well."

There are no other defensible structures constructed in their lands, but the terrain might prove for anyone not used to the harsh North, giving the defenders a great advantage.<br/><br/>Influence:<br/>House Greystark is a minor house with a colourful and long history, one of the most prominent minor houses in their region. (Mechanically, Status 5 for the lord, lady and the heir.)<br/><br/>Lands and Population:<br/>House Greystark controls a great amount of land - as most Northern houses do. There are three domains of land directly under their control, the Greyhold with the castle situated by the river, and the light woods around it; the Greystown to the south, the place where the majority of the smallfolk live; and the Greywood, a mysterious dark wood full of game and ancient ruins from the time of the First Men.<br/><br/>Law:<br/>House Greystark's lands are plagued by bandits, mostly wildlings who escaped from beyond the Wall and it is often necessary to send garrison or sworn swords to protect travellers and deal with bandits.<br/><br/>Power:<br/>House Greystark has almost no army of their own, most of their men were killed in Robert's Rebellion. It does, however, have a banner house sworn to them as their liege lord. (Any ideas about the bannermen's house name?)<br/><br/>Wealth:<br/>House Greystark has enough to get by, but they're far away from being well-off or even comfortably rich.<br/><br/>Once Sydney posts her roll, we'll need to determine what we want to invest the uninvested points into. We don't have to, but I strongly suggest investing those 5 points of Power into ANY kind of military units, because as it stands, there's no garrison to guard the castle.<br/><br/>P.S. Jugg, I think you misunderstood ""breaking the fast"" ;-) I used it as George Martin had done so repeatedly in the books. It's basically a Medieval phrase for ""eating breakfast"", the fast being no eating over the night without the head of house's permission, really."

One of them being summoning a fiendish outsider while not owning a residence and needing place for lengthy summoning ritual out of general public. One such place is in docks, in a old out of use beacon house which had collapsed during one past conflicts against Waterdeep. They build a bigger and better beacon to replace it but the ruins had never been put on any good use for years besides occasional playing ground for children. So perfect for his purposes.<br/><br/>Adrian uses chisel and hammer he had bought in market and started hammer on the cellar floor of the old beacon house ruins, carving a summoning pentagram (http://www.greatdreams.com/political/pentagram%281%29.png) onto solid stone floor and onto single large tile in there so tile's borders do not break pentagram. He is planning summon medium humanoid sized being so he does not need any bigger pentagram.<br/><br/>Once done, he takes silver coins and places them onto carving and concentrating he channels fiery burst of flames until silver coins melt and then fall into gaps created by chisel. Once melted he scraps them left over silver with his chisel and then finish cooling off the now silver pentagram he douses it with water with bucket.<br/><br/>Once hissing is complete he dries the water away and places black wax candles and lights them up. There is nothing exotic in candles themselves but summoning needs five burning candles to work as own sort beacon for outsider which he plans to call.<br/><br/>Once preparations complete and candles are lighted up, he firstly sprinkles silver dust and chants ward against evil, but channel and bind it onto well made pentagram and it's inverted. He sees red glow infuse the pentagram and it steadily glows and forms runic patterns to empty space between the lines. He chants and casts dimensional anchor onto pentagram, tied to first anti-evil warding spell and thus bind it to pentagram and make it last days like anti-evil ward in pentagram. Now pentagram has healthy background blue glow underneath it, working as effective prison to entity which he will be calling from abyss.<br/><br/>His familiar is with him and inspecting the pentagram it nods in approval, it's solid, no broken gaps nor imperfections what a devil would find and scrutinize. Adrian then sighs and he starts then to chant and cast planar binding (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Lesser_Planar_Binding), the true hallmark of conjurers and one milestones which every conjurer dreams one day accomplish successfully.<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>""Vhalar margushi tharash khii""<br/><br/>""Hear my call creature of abyss""<br/><br/>""Thalar mhelara thurush maghar""<br/><br/>""Temptress of men, their ruin, their forbidden pleasures made flesh""<br/><br/>""Ashvi dhara thuski dhara urshu'vhi; <em>Iru-ziap Iap'po!</em>""<br/><br/>""I summon thee by your true name; <em>Iru-ziap Iap'po!</em>""<br/><br/>""Khavar idli, thamas!""<br/><br/>""Answer my bidding!""</strong></div><br/>Adrian would repeat the chant and ritual over and over again. Normally the answer comes in ten minutes once ritual starts. Candles burn, pentagram glows and so does warding spell. If his familiar has truly found a true name, the spell would reach across planes, across vast infinity of abyss and find the fiend which true name belongs to. Using true name gives summoner a absolute unquestionable power over summoned entity, forcing them accept binding which they normally have chance to resist. But using true name they have no choice but accept spell...and enter into likely warded trap which was build hold them and then undergo second part of the binding; negotiation. Again true name is one major chip in such negotiation, allowing bend contract much more flexibly than in standard binding.<br/><br/>Adrian's voice carries over on ritual and it's chant, echoing in cellar and hoping for sake of his pride he succeeds....while he dreads also his success. As his uncle died no less than on botched planar binding ritual and he was a red wizard no less who had mastered art of conjuration and binding demons, devils or other fiendish entities. But he does not let fear heard by his voice, his voice remaining strong, firm and commanding. A voice which does not suit on man who looks like slim femine beauty with mismatched eyes."

Normally this sort of hands on work was far beneath her. Shazzerades normally calm indifferent facade stripped away leaving not, but a cold, ruthless fury in this dire moment.<br/><br/>A pathetic imp of all things had slipped past her wards and gotten a hold of one half slip paper. One that was kept in a secure vault that would assure her most hated rival and sister would never be an obstacle. It was the symbol of their mutual pact... Mutually assured destruction as they say. Both Shezzerade and her sister inscribed their true names on an object in vault. If one moved against the other they need only to remove it. It was as close to trust as Succubi could give each other. Yet her encorcelled servants had somehow let a wretched lapdog of some fool mortal snatched it, some cursed finger waver had her true name!<br/><br/>Surely she had been betrayed..and on the eve of her victory no less! The culmination of centuries of plots, undermining, scheming, and backstabbbing that would secure her a place of power... all threatened with a single stroke! It couldn't have been her sister...she had just as much to loose with the objects loss yet no word came from her camp. Not a single threat no promise of reprisal...nothing. The silence was deafening. Shezzerade swore and cursed in foul and ancient tongues long forgotten by light that she would find the culprit even if she had to rend the planes themselves and unmake everything, but the saboteur and that cursed mortal while she was at it!<br/><br/><br/>As the flaying continued Shezzerade spoke her captives. ""Really now? Must you make this grim work so difficult for yourselves? How long must I play your nerves endings like a harp!? Just tell who has dared to not only play with my toys, but turn them against me. Speak quickly or I'll start twisting the flaming irons I shoved in your....<br/><br/>With a slowly dawning horror Shezzerade felt her worst fears realized. A ritual was being performed, the pull was unbearable. She had to obey...it would be the ruin of her...but she had to obey..<br/><hr/><br/><br/>The smell of her perfume waving throughout room as did a furious frenetic storm of wind surging power crashed thunderously through the room. The demonic beauty in all her curvaceous glory stood before the red wizard. Her arm folded underneath gargantuan breasts as she rears her head back and shot the mortal who held her fate in his hands a icy glare. ""By my name as Iru-ziap Iap'po! As was spoken so it has been. You have summoned The Queen of Cups, the Ace of Wands, The Scarlet Tongue.<em>Carnal desire incarnate </em>and you have done so at your peril!""<br/><br/>Struggling with gritted teeth against the confined of the warded trap Shezzerade put up her poker faceand let out a small sigh ""Oh well, fun is fun, you caught me with my pants down. Not a particularly challenging feat mind you. The Succubus now rather shamelessly flirting with the mage. Her full red lips pouting and sultry, haunting voice practically purring.<br/><br/>But, my dear boy come on now you can't really believe this stunt will end well hmm? Tell you what,  release me, allow me to scrub that name from your mind and I'll show you pleasure like you have never known or could know without me.  You see my dance card is rather full you see no time for reprisal, or revenge.  I'll be on my way putting as much distance as possible between myself and this tacky little...plane You , your loved ones, every hand you've ever held every lip you ever kissed all completely safe... from me. Provided you take this slight no further and release me The buxom succubi's facade nearly cracking as her despair grew...the sheer indignity of this moment throwing the manipulative chessmistress off her game completely."

As summoning would had failed if the true name would not had been genuine! Adrian had felt always attracted to women with exotic traits, after all in Thay tieflings worked often than not as erotic dancers or concubines for red wizards so he has got used to fiendish features in women.<br/><br/>Not to mention that Iru-ziap Iap'po is indeed lovely looking specimen of succubus. But as expected she already shows hostility, venom in her words but then start immediately apply lovely honey and temptation as she realizes the ward is perfect; she cannot leave pentagram, she cannot attack anything outside the ward nor use any her spell-alike abilities. Nor she can disturb anyway the silver pentagram, even if just scratching the silver surface would be sufficient!<br/><br/>Adrian listens the threats of the succubus as he replies; ""I have no loved ones to torment Iru-ziap Iap'po, and do you think me a fool that after all this trouble getting your true name I would wish it to be erased from my mind? As I have specific need for a succubus serve under my whims longer than usual with planar binding spell.<br/><br/>I offer a simple deal; I keep the secret of your name with myself and you get to spend some years in material plane serving me until I die and after failing a year trying resurrect me. What is sixty or so years in your immortality? Just a mere blink. I know how dreary prime plane can be for you but no doubt you can find some opportunities here during your stay. Perhaps get more trinkets into your treasury? If you betray me or harm me any fashion, my familiar will spill the beans to every devil in hell and I imagine lords of nine are much more unpleasant masters to serve than mere lucky mortal don't you think? No doubt devils would take great pleasure torturing and tormenting you, ruin what was once beautiful and powerful.""<br/><br/>He lets the word sink to their mark as Adrian was dead serious with his threat, he does not care anything at all for succubus fate but he is ready to deliver retribution what every demon would fear; that a devil learns their true name and thus be forced compel answer the summonings...and appear onto hell itself as easy captured prisoner and devils would love nothing than have demon as plaything, torture for aeons until end of time in their wicked sense of justice.<br/><br/>Adrian then is about to turn and walk away as he says; ""The pentagram last nine days, so I will visit on eight day hear your answer on my offer to renew it. But you may find it quite boring to sit and wait for eight days to give reply while you got nothing but walls to stare at. But I am busy man so I do not have time to trade words over the matter, it's take or leave it deal.

At end of chain is golden locket with ruby on it, inside ruby in draconic rune was written;<em>""Property of Scarlet Mage.""</em><br/><br/>The collar would be now part of succubus true form, but not part of her disguises if any she takes. It's minor add what Adrian had learned from his mentor, a thayan styled planar binding. Adrian watched as succubus went full lewd display in the circle, tempting him with her curved body and now that she agreed on the terms serve him until he dies (and thus obey his commands), she is now relatively harmless. Unless Adrian makes a mistake in his commands with her as succubus has way with words which far surpasses his skills. Not to mention cunning.<br/><br/>Adrian walks back to the succubus and says to her; ""Now let's lay some basic ground rules in our relationship."" His hand reaches out....going through the invisible barrier and snatch onto the golden chain and then pulling her up from lewd position to stand up (and thus pass the barrier thanks the contact with her master) as Adrian says to her while looking her eyes; ""You will remain close to me unless I otherwise command you.""<br/><br/>A first command ensure she just does not teleport away from him and thus beyond reach of his commands. While looking her golden eyes he continues; ""Also you do not seek purposefully guide harm on my way nor cause it. While we walk among mortal population I want you always take a disguise which has no fiendish features on them. I leave it up to you what appearance you take. You remove disguise if I tell you do so otherwise."" Up this close Shezzerade could see one his eyes was sky blue and other was beautiful dark ruby red. Unusual trait. Also this close she could see he was quite femine in look but his voice and attitude spoke clearly masculine personality, no doubt before his rocks fell and his voice started develop he was easily mistaken as a girl (and he would do so even now if he would keep mouth shut). A very slim beautiful girl.<br/><br/>Adrian's hand calmly, without trembling, grasped on Shezzerade's breast firmly. Squeeze it and feel it's warmth and smoothness with his palm of his hand and fingers feeling it's curve while he talked; ""You can fuck much as you can like mortals but unless I tell you or someone willingly offers, you do not suck their life force nor you never suck mine, even if I would offer it willingly. Willingly this case means person is not under anysort magical compulsion. For clarity's sake. Naturally you do not reveal your true nature to anyone unless I specifically give permission to do so. Also you never tell anyone I have binded you with using your true name.""<br/><br/>Adrian's hand wanders from breast down curve of her stomach....to spot between her legs to stroke her lower lips and caress them, feel them and it's growing warmth as he keeps eye contact with succubus as he continues; ""Nor you will bear any children unless I specifically tell you do so. Not sure how succubi handle birth control but if you need birth control measures like maiden's tea I can provide them. I am sure you do not want me spread your true name around so what is your<em>public</em>name? Also do you know true names of other demons?""<br/><br/>There was small chance the demon which he true name binded knows other demon's true name, but it depends which one and is it in range of his second prepared planar binding spell or not. He continues hold on the golden chain while other hand lewdly strokes on succubus sex, free of the circle but now bound by binding to obey the human. As in this spell verbal agreement is stronger than any forced magical chains on her. So she is bound to obey. But as demon she can think ways work around limits if there are any loopholes in her master's commands. Where as devil would not even think about it."

Revenge and a golden ticket to renegotiate terms...what could be sweeter?<br/><br/>As Adrain began setting down rule after rule and accepting her invite to enjoy her sensual body...Shezzerade paid close attention, going over detail every interpretation of his wording she could muster. With her lustful poker face up and obscene displays being met with lither feminine hands made every effort not to show a visual or emotional reaction to his words. Small, subtle loopholes were there. Enough to work with for now, but the forbidding of reproduction and limiting her disguises was galling. How dare he tell who when and when not to breed! Children are valuable tokens to consume or trade away. Still the mage was smart...or following in the footsteps of a wiser man. that much was certain. As was his necessity. This method of summoning threatened her immortality. His magics and stats with what she could easily assume was with the Thay was a valuable assets. Like as not Shezzerade had everything to gain from playing the role of the devoted little helper for now.. her lovely little androgynous master has effective become both her knight and her king piece.<br/><br/>Initially surprised at how the firm masculine voice belonged to such a lovely, feminine figure with his mismatched eyes and slender frame. A cross dresser? Spell Missfire..or perhaps an unusual heritage? Mmm such intriguing riddles to untagle here. Regardless, her Master's desires are quite clear. The caressing touch gliding across her stomach, the firm groping of her exceptional, even among her kind, not to mention gargantuan breasts. Even stroker of his fingers was masterful, but The tending of her fertile rose garden was rapturous. As her velty folds squeezed his probing fingers, the top heavy demoness bites into her large plump lips as lustful purrs pass her lips. Sadly then came the yanking of her leash...set free from the binding of the circle, yet still quite enslaved..it was grim reminder and almost enough to dampen ever her libido, almost.<br/><br/>Responds as commanded keeping her answers short and to the point. Compelled or not it's best to limit what information you offer.""...Maidens tea would be acceptable...Master. My Public name is Shezzerade...but I have many pseudonyms. Shall I write a list for you? Also no. I do not know know the true name of any other demons..as for my disguises do you have a preferred identity for me to adopt A concubine? An agent?"" hiding her annoyance behind a screen of tantalizing reciprocation of Adrains skill touch. Running her slender fingers across his androgynous chest, gliding and teasing him with the full, supple caress her body as her hands lower confirm that her Master was indeed a man..a rather excellent example at that. Truly he was a beautiful specimen if they had met under different circumstance she would have gladly added such a pretty boy to her collection...perhaps it's not too late, but it will have to wait. Hopefully time will not ravish such a marvelous specimen."

A magical robes? No doubt about.<br/><br/>Either way under the robes laid a slim figure of her master, no breasts but he had slim build and even waist curved as with woman. However when she reached to under the waist....well, reason for deep voice was found indeed. Even with all nude display and closeness to her curved frame the mage's staff is not yet full length...not from lack of interest but needing more power to charge up. Curiously though he had no pubic hair and Shezzerade can make difference in regards who shaves and who was born without such trait, and her master had born without it. A half-elf ancestry perhaps? As very least master appeared human and had round ears and not pointed as with half-elf.<br/><br/>Once her hands were working and marveling the mage's staff in his loins Adrian kept gaze locked on hers as she replied and he replied to her; ""You can call me Master Adrian or Master Scarlet, my full name is Adrian Scarlet. Pleased to make acquittance Shezzerade, and I think I will stick with your public name for now. Unless your name is well known somewhere in Faerun or Waterdeep please inform me so we can think some other alias."" Now she at least knows what prime material plane she has ended up and also name of the city where she is in.<br/><br/>Adrian moves head closer to her face, so that as he speaks his lips brush on hers as he talks but not quite kissing her yet; ""I have my preference for exotic women, I would ask you do not try use tiefling form as there are self-righteous people even in Waterdeep where law does not protect you being smithed and killed by paladins. I do not want my investment destroyed for sake of blind morality and religious doghma, so to avoid causing trouble let's not use any form with fiendish traits on them. Tieflings get discriminated even in Waterdeep.<br/><br/>But besides that, choose be human, elf or half-elf. Being beautiful or bit exotic looks is plus."" His massaging fingers part her folds and slides inside her welcoming wet folds, starting rub and feel her inside with his one finger and then two. While looking her eyes he says to her; ""They say nothing beats a kiss from succubus, even if cost of it is very high....so let's see can you reign in your instincts while I savor what few men ever experience...""<br/><br/>Then after all delightful teasing from his talking lips he leans to kiss Shezzerade, his lips pressing on hers firmly and sliding tongue invade to her mouth and seek her tongue while his lips suck on hers. At first exploring...and then growing hunger which makes his heart race and pulse...a pulsing which echoes on the staff which she is handling right now."

Noting each of the planes that appeared watching as they flashed by a pain in her chest seemed to flash for a moment as thinks internally<em>..no it couldn't be homesickness..could it? No such feelings are beneath me! This situation has me completely off my game how troublesome.</em>As her Master's revealed were finally discarded. The feeling that this was rather like a lovely gift being unwrapped was palpable and for a moment her mask slipped as she practically pouted at the finally reveal. It seems Adrian and her share a taste for the exotic and she was hoping her suspicion that Master scarlet was intersexed...still at least wasn't a eunuch as she feared and those eyes of his like finely cut jewels. She tingly shiver that went through her every time she gazed into them was exquisite. Perhaps she'll pluck them out one day keep them on her nightstand.<br/><br/>As her warm, colossal, breasts pillowed gently into the Adrian's slender frame her own voluptuous curves and wide, child bearing hips fitting rather snuggly against the bold mage's surprisingly smooth, hairless skin skin. Very elven and yet...something she couldn't quite put her finger on suggested a different origin. Sadly Adrian had to break this pleasurable moments with rules, more rules. She practically shuddered..how devilish he is! Still he demanded and she has no choice, but to answer ""Unless there is a Cult of Malcanthet here, Master Scarlet I have no contacts that I know of. "" This much was true. All her dealings dealings with various chapters have always been favorable despite the differences in practices and rivalries the commonalities are always there. Just like the planes themselves. Variables and constants. They could be valuable resources to exploit one way or other if there indeed was such a chapter here, but her attention to the primes was minimal her powerbase was focused on her home plane...if its even still intact.<br/><br/>As their lips touched Shezzerade was enraptured for a mortal Adrian had obvious talent. His touch was tender where it needed to be and firm where required, and his kiss...was a kind of bliss that was hard to equal...just who is this man? It's rare to meet males so in tune with the female form. The only shame was that she wasn't allowed to top this kiss with a intense orgasmic pleasure that only draining a man dry could bring. In spite of or perhaps because of her demonic nature Shezzerade had always view sex as artform. To be explored and perfected in it's every variation with as many sentient creatures as possible..and o have her tools censored so was nothing less than censorship...still this was a close second. The thought of this kiss lasting longer and commanding an encore was more than enough to resist her urges. Her body cried out for this mans life force, but no it will be denied...for now.<br/><br/>As her tongue interlocked with the androgynous mage's and their kiss increasing in passionate intensity Shezzerade made use of her long, red, spaded tail. Quickly replacing her slender hands as they started strumming the flesh of the mage hips and backs like finely tuned instrument her tails coiled lightly around Adrian's cock. Taking on the texture of something between a tongue both in it's warmth and slick smooth gliding the long, spaded tail began lightly stroking the length of the mages slumbering beast. Ever so slowly at first the coiled tail was delicate as it was tantalizing covering and stroking every last vein, every contour as a slow tempo began to form as the coil ran from base to tip with steadily increasing speed."

A unexpected but clearly welcomed gesture along with feeling of her fingers on his backside. Shezzerade can feel how her tail quickly rouses the slumbering beast to full firm attention, feel it's size and girth exactly how many circles her tail had to wrap around it to envelop it and feel it while stroking it.<br/><br/>Adrian's breathing grew slightly faster...and so did his thrusts with his fingers inside Shezzerade's sex. He positions his hand so that his palm starts strike and beat in lewd beat against her cunt, palm slapping against her clit at each deep thrust with his fingers. After moment's distraction by her tail he eagerly returned kiss on Shezzerade, taste her lips and feel her agile skilled tongue with his. His free hand moves to grasp her unusual large breast and squeezes it firmly so that her nipple sticks out between two fingers...and with moist pop he breaks the kiss and snares the nipple now with his teeth, gently pinch it and stretch it. Succubi can handle a far more violent gestures, after all mating with fellow demons are violent and physical dominant affairs. But seeing she responds well to tenderness Adrian has no reason use further force on her, unless she asks for it.<br/><br/>Either way his teeth stretches the firm nub (while other presses on his chest), his lips suck on her breast and tongue trails and circles over the nipple. His hand slowly drifts from breast to her backside....caress her back and reach down to base of her tail and stroke around it. Tail is in spot where human women have one common erogenous zone, but tail base covers it....wondering how sensitive organ is her tail for sensual pleasure while he sucks her nipple and quietly groans on it as her tails strokes his girth with growing pace. His eyes looking at her and see her reactions to his attentions, as even if Adrian had been with women before he is still learning and master pleasuring them....and knowing every woman, even outsider, have their own buttons to press to give them pleasure."

Of course her hips did not stop their wondrous blissful inducing riding, exciting his cock to throb with increasing pulse of his heart, but his eyes keenly noticed clearly with Shezzerade's change of expression and how rest of her body remained still....as if in deeply contemplating.<br/><br/>All this is quite unusual for succubus behavior, her earlier malicious grin as he felt her tail readying plunge and conquer his ass went to complete swipe clean once she looked on his eyes....as if she had realized the dirty secret and shame what Adrian did not voice....only those who had suffered like Adrian would have barest of idea what he had gone through....and it made Adrian realize Shezzerade had suffered similar action in past. Very unusual, but not impossible in life in abyss where strong rule over the weak. Succubus is far cry from strongest of demons, manipulative and possessing various magical abilities yes, but they need grow, develop and learn like any living creature in planes. So not impossible a strong demon grasping young inexperienced succubus and rape one.<br/><br/>Adrian did not say anything, as no doubt it's painful memory for emotional passionate being like a demon as it is to him, so he silently moved his hand over to her tail and this time he pulled her tail gently....stroking it and snaring the base of the spade on the tip. He moves the tip to his lips, give tender lick on center of the spade before sucking slowly the spade inside to his mouth, tongue continue stroking and caressing the appendage. Considering what she attempted to do with the tail, indicates she gets some measure of pleasure inserting the tail somewhere and thus hoping his intuition is correct...and that the oral on the tail is pleasant for Shezzerade and help her get over awful memory and focus on pleasure. Husky moans vibrate the spade snared between his lips and teeth, which sink enough pin the spade into his mouth in playful grip while his hands move up back to focus on her teats. Both hands making sweeping double slap to underside of the generous soft globes and then grasp them firmly! Pinch her nipples and stretch them while giving tender attention to her tail and his cock pulsing in growing excitement....readying to be milked soon as he is nearing to his release and Shezzerade can feel it through both growing throbbing in his cock, veins enlarging and also with more rapid breathing which vibrates on her tail. Along with Adrian's eyes slowly going half-closed slits as his body is tensing up...."

Her voluminous breasts heaving and bouncing even in The red mage's grip.  the intense tingling, and warm radiating waves sending her a frenetic fit of orgasmic bliss. Her movements slowing as she relies on her wings for moment. The rhythmic contractions of her tight inner walls and buckling hips making her efforts different. As she felts her walls squeeze ever tighter around, building, burning expanding like a balloon until at last it burst. The dam within her burst and a deluge flood as her screaming, writhing moans practically turned into a shriek...by the hells she needs this right now...it's only a shame the mage had denied her children from their infernal unions.

Delicious vessel like Shezzerade.<br/><br/>Adrian had tensed and curved his back as he had thrust his hip to meet her thrust, but he then slacks and collapses back on floor, banting through his mouth and over Shezzerade's sweet delicious tail. His hands had during the bliss of his climax started maul Shezzerade's orbs, not that his strength which is barely average for mortal having any chance harm her breasts with his grip. But no doubt she had felt the intensity of his grip and his nails digging to her soft flesh and leaving soft pink marks on her flesh.<br/><br/>Adrian feels blissful relaxing afterglow settle in....he releases his hands from her breasts and instead moved to grip her horns. Pulling by her horns he pulls her down....and lock his lips with hers while squeeze and crush her generous bust against him while their lips remain locked.

His cock is throbbing and quivering inside her....and recovering it's stiffness upon tasting the sweet aphrodisiac on Shezzerade's lips. Feeling a eager pulsing from his cock for more inside her while feel hunger on her lips. Once their lips were close, Adrian slides fingers along Shezzerade's horns down to her back and to her wings...delicately caress the membrane, muscle and bone structure in the wings while she laid atop him."

He was pretty tired and just wanted to get home quickly. He gathered his baggage without incident. For once in his life, his baggage didn't end up flying across the damn planet. For once. See, he was actually from suburban Chicago and was a student at UCLA. So naturally flying home was kind of a chore. He wished they still had those concords. Or that they would figure out how to make an SR-71 into a civilian airliner. 5-10 minutes flight anywhere he'd want to go. Not too much longer for places he didn't want to either.<br/><br/>So he got his stuff and left the airport. A taxi was on the approach as he hailed. It was just his lucky day or something. He got in the car<strong>""Hey where ya goin' pal?""</strong>the driver asked. Eric rattled off the address he had not been at in quite some time. He was beginning to miss it. He saw his parents get out of a taxi<strong>""You gotta be fuckin' kidding me?!""</strong>he shouted as the driver pulled away from the curb<strong>""Whassat?""</strong>the latter asked, looking into the rearview mirror. Eric waved a hand<strong>""Oh it's nothing. My parents just got out of a taxi. I was hoping to see them on my summer vacation, but it seems they're flying off to some carribean cruise or some other stupid shit. Oh don't worry, I'm still going home, my sisters will be there.""</strong>he looked out the window glumly<br/><br/>So they drove through the mad streets<strong>""Hey guy, I know a detour, you wanna go through?""</strong>the cabbie asked. Eric said,<strong>""Sure""</strong>never breaking his gaze out the window. They took a few side streets. At first, it looked like things were going to work out. Empty streets for fucking ever. Then it was like a huge mass of people all decided to have a swap meet or farmers market or something.<br/><br/><em>Didn't that shit only happen in rural areas?</em>thought the Wayne child often jokingly called John even though his name was no where near John. He looked up at a click, and noticed the guy turning off the meter<strong>""Sorry, I didn't know they were doing this today. How bout you shop around and I wait right over here, free of charge?""</strong>Eric eyed the man suspiciously. He kind of had a warty pock marked 'Shrek' appearance about him. It made Eric seriously ponder the existence of ogres and trolls.<br/><br/>On the most part, Eric wandered and found not much of anything, but he eventually came to a hippie looking woman<strong>""How ya doin man?""</strong>she asked.<strong>""Oh ups and downs. It started off ok, then it kind of got a little rough.""</strong>he admitted.<strong>""I'm actually kind of wondering whether my family loves me at this point.""</strong>The woman nodded<strong>""Right on, man, right on. Hey, know what? I think I've got just the thing for you.""</strong>she said. Then she rooted around in a bag she had int he back of a truck pulling out a large scuffed up board game<strong>""This here board game. Guaranteed to bring anyone who plays it closer together. But you can't open it until you get home, otherwise it'll ruin the suprise. The best part? The game's only 3 bucks, so whatever happens, you're not out much money.""</strong><br/><br/>Eric eyed the game. It looked like one he'd seen before, Trivial Pursuit. But it wasn't. He didn't really think anything of it though, as he shrugged and handed over the money. In a few moments, the crowd seemed to clear just like that. The cabbie came over<strong>""Well, did you find anything?""</strong>Eric showed him the game<strong>""You ready?""</strong>Eric nodded and got back in the car. In a few minutes he was home and knocking on the door. He'd paid the cabbie 20 bucks and somehow managed to get the entire way home without opening the box. He stood on the doorstep with his box under his arm and his suitcase on rollers behind him waiting for a sister... hoping they were still there."

Lust whose intensity is matched only by it's pervasiveness. Amy had always been open minded to sex and enjoy exploring her sexuality..this was different and terrible..every every thought, no her every way of forming one seemed to warp and shape twisting through a frame of illicit sex and sexual fluids her claws hands quickly began stroking her horsecock in a blind frenzy she need release, and this insatibaility was maddening.<br/><br/>These feeling increase as slowly her breasts, ass expanded becoming, bigger fuller, softer as her body was quickly adjusted to fit this role, her extreme voluptuous figure now having a bust around 120' and hips around 45'. but these were far from the only changes. A black spaded tail bursts from the small of her back and almost immediately seemed to set to work teasing and stroking the furnace of desire within her. The ambidextrous and prehensile little tail could even be called cute in another context, but as her spike horn grew and settled on her forehead just she reached climax. Her womb splitting horsecock coating the table in thick, hot ropes of warm cum. Even Amy's dragon wings seemingly oddly fitting for her new body.<br/><br/>Forever gone was Amy'as look of bitter woeful resignation.

Despite his hair having turned gray years earlier, he seems to have plenty of fight left in his wiry muscles, and the wrinkles on his face do not hide the fierce gleam in his blue eyes.<br/><br/>A long, wooden table runs nearly the entire length of the room. Along either side is a row of chairs, and while one side of the table is empty, the other is full of members of the City Watch. While many of the Watchmen present are muscular and battle-hardened, a few of them are clearly mages, members of the group known as the Watch-Wizards.<br/><br/>The walls are lined with maps of Waterdeep at various levels of detail for each ward, many of them bearing pins in certain places around the city, denoting something relevant to the City Watch but perhaps not to anyone else. Among these maps are also maps of the Sword Coast and the city sewer system, also at varying levels of detail.<br/><br/>When the time for the meeting arrives and Captain Rulathon is certain that all of the adventurers had answered their summons, he takes his seat in the middle of the table on the Watchmen’s side (rather than at either end), and begins to speak.<br/><br/><strong>”I have called this meeting and summoned you all here because the city is facing an unknown enemy. Over the past month, more than two dozen rowhouses and tenement buildings have burned with no known cause, and no witnesses to any apparent arsonist. While we are still gathering evidence from the latest fires, we don’t have much to go on. Any string of arsons would be enough of a problem, but the nature of the buildings that burned--housing for the working class and the poor--has put a few hundred people on the streets, primarily in the Docks Ward, the South Ward, and the Trades Ward, the southern third of the city.”</strong><br/><br/>Rulathon gestures toward a map on the wall that has the wards of Waterdeep labeled clearly.<br/><br/><strong>”Thyriellentha, fill them in on what your mages have been able to gather so far about the missing persons cases,”</strong>Rulathon tells the middle-aged, brunette woman in a wizard’s robe sitting to his left.<br/><br/><strong>”These areas already had a problem with overcrowding, homelessness, and poverty, and these fires have made the problem worse. And yet, I wish that were the worst of our problems. Since this began a month ago, each day we have received more reports from the homeless that others have gone missing. From what we can piece together, something appears to be taking the homeless at a rate of about twenty per night. For now, it seems to be limited to the homeless, drunks, and vagrants; to those outside at night, specifically, but if something isn’t done about this soon, we will have widespread panic in the city, especially since the arsons don’t seem to show any sign of stopping,”</strong>the woman Rulathon referred to as Thyriellentha said, eyeing the adventurers before her.<br/><br/>Rulathon takes a moment to size up the adventurers sitting on the opposite side of the table before turning to the man on his right, a balding, pudgy man dressed in the garb of one of Open Lord Piergeiron’s personal advisors, expensive blue and yellow robes bearing the coat-of-arms of Waterdeep on the left breast, over the heart.<br/><br/><strong>”And how many more apartment buildings and rowhouses are still standing in those three wards?”</strong>Rulathon asks the man.<br/><br/><strong>”Eight more, Captain,”</strong>the advisor replies solemnly.<br/><br/>Rulathon nods grimly.<strong>”Then I suspect that the arsons will continue for less than a tenday, if the past month’s experience is any indication. That will make catching the arsonist, at least, much more difficult unless we catch him in the act soon.”</strong>Rulathon turns to one of his senior Watchmen.<strong>”I want dependable Watchmen in the buildings surrounding each of these eight rowhouses, watching them throughout the night. If Tymora smiles on us, they may see who is lighting these fires, and if she favors us even more, they may be able to put it out quickly, should one of these rowhouses catch fire. Tell them to blow their horns if they suspect trouble and double patrols in the neighborhoods around the eight rowhouses and apartment buildings.”</strong>The senior Watchman nods, salutes Rulathon stiffly, and when Rulathon tells the burly man<strong>”Dismissed,”</strong>he leaves the room.<br/><br/><strong>”You were summoned here at the behest of the Open Lord because of your talents and your reputations. We need you, the <em>city</em> needs you to uncover what is behind this outbreak of fires and what is taking the homeless, and to put a stop to both. There is a reward, of course. The city is prepared to pay five thousand gold to each of you for success on this mission, with five hundred of that up front for expenses. I am sure that you have questions, and I and my staff of Senior Watchmen would be happy to answer them.”</strong><br/><br/>With that, Rulathon leans back in his wooden chair and folds his arms, awaiting their questions.<br/>"

It could be a nest of vampires, but they avoid fire like the plague... some creature, or creatures that use them as a food source... a wizard who uses black magic fueled by blood... that is only of secondary importance to the fact that 20 people are disappearing each night... that's roughly 1 person every 20 to 45 minutes from sundown to sunrise... The fact that they are all disappearing at night is also compelling.""<br/><br/>She dropped her feet to the floor and sat forward, ""I don't have any problems with bringing information to the watch, letting you take them down, but a cult may be involved... just not recruiting so much as hunting... I can see if any of my contacts has heard anything that they would be reluctant to bring to the attention of the watch... pay off a few snitches to watch out for things and do the footwork. but I'm afraid that we're not looking for people to rescue but corpses to follow..."" She sighed and shook her head,  ""Hiding even the bits of 600 people should leave a trail of some kind once you find out where to look... They are probably using the sewers to move around, so I would suggest starting there."""

In the door way stood a grizzled old veteran of the Watch, a dwarf with iron in his beard; he was a reliable man, one could could be trusted with the most sensitive of tasks, unwavering in his duty, indeed, he had faced down more than his fair share of horrors in Waterdeep's colourful history. What lay before him however, was a first.<br/><br/>The room's small single cot was occupied by a flailing mass of limbs beneath the sheets, which resolved its self into a pair of women after a moment, probably awoken by his unannounced entrance. The first was little Yora, a watch-novice who had been having a hard time adjusting to the demands of life in their profession, easily recognizable by her razor-edged bob of black hair, which swiftly disappeared as she let out a panicked squeak and hid under the covers. The second woman he didnt recognize except by description; Inanna, who was incidentally, exactly who he had been sent to find. The old dwarf nodded gruffly to the woman hiding under the sheets 'Apologies Yora, but your... companion has been summoned by the Watch Captain. I am to escort her to a meeting immediately.” he informed them, before inclining his head to Inanna, as if to apologise to her as well. “Im sure the Watch will compensate you your fee Miss.”<br/><br/>Inanna laughed in response, “I dont have a fee~” she informed him in a sweet little sing-song voice, adding; “At leased not to keep such a fine young woman company.”. That said, she slipped out from under the sheets in one motion of perfect sensuality, and into a demure kneeling position on the edge of the cot, the sheet sliding away from her form. Her body was bare, and she showed not a ounce of shame or shyness to be presenting such a figure to a stranger, infact, she seemed proud at how her body caught his eye. Her lips pulled down into a pout as she looked at the Dwarf, “Your not going to be unpleasant are you?” she asked, somehow sounding worried and making a indecent suggestion at the same time. The ironbeard gulped and felt his cheeks redden behind his beard, he couldnt help it, some things were universal. She was the stuff of every little boys fantasties.... and he didnt even go for humans!<br/><br/>But no, he had a duty to do, and shook his head slightly to clear it, and trying hard to ignore the the demands of his body, which very clearly had other ideas about what he should be doing with her. “Not at all miss, if you are guilty of a crime then the punishment will be fair and just, though i cannot imagine why the Captain would summon you for such a thing... More likely he wants to employ you in some capacity. Please get dressed and follow me.”  he told her, stepping aside to allow her to exit the room and very pointedly no longer looking at her.<br/><br/>Inanna sighed and slipped off the bed, kneeling bside it, she turned to lift the sheet so she could see the mortified novice hiding there, and reached out to give her hand a squeeze, “Remember what i said last night, you can make it.” she encouraged, her tone warm and genuine. Then the bard drew away, rising to stand and with a gesture, a pile of red silk lifted from the floor and wrapped it's self around her form... though 'cover' was perhaps not a proper adjective in this case. Apparently satisfied with her state of dress, Inanna bent down to don a pair of tall heels, their red shade matching her outfit, and did up the straps around her ankle, followed by a chain belt that she slipped around her waist, which held a sword, a couple pouches, and a few other necessities. One other thing of note, not that she lacked things to note, was the many tiny bells that covered her outfit, shining mithril bells dangled from the many lengths of her outfit, and there were a couple more at her ankles, wrists, and waist. The bells made a subtle, pure tone when she moved, not at all noisy or obtrusive.<br/><br/>The bard slipped out past the old dwarf and he sighed, turning to follow her, “Stones of my ancestors, I'm not getting paid enough for this...”<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Some halls and stairs later, Inanna arrived in the meeting room, and took a seat along with the others, listening as they did to what the Captain had to say, and then the words of the others, at first she had to admit, she was at a loss as to how she could help, but then the conversation took a turn for the more intriguing.<br/><br/>“Perhaps a lone maiden wandering the streets late at night could bait such a trap?” she offered coyly. “It would be easier if we had some kind of preference besides 'homeless' to go with, if they liked blondes i could disguise myself appropriately, but if you want to set a trap, you could do alot worse than me to draw the fiends in.”<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Roll</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Summary: At 2013-11-02 14:28:21, Inanna (uid: 6578) rolls: 1d20a8 Result: 11 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=51256)<br/><br/>Full Result: Inanna rolled: 1d20, adding 8to the total<br/>Comment: Knowledge Arcana 6 + IntB 2 +8 To see if she knows anything that could accomplish the disappearances.<br/>Result: 3, <br/>Total: 11 <br/><br/>Oh gods it hates me D: <br/><br/>(GM said i didnt know anything useful)</div></div>"

So better have at least one pair of eyes on every exit besides magic.<br/><br/>Also our fine lady here can work very well as prey, if she dresses bit more humbly and looks to be pretty but still a homeless person. If she would wander alone in shadowy back alleys while guarded by someone who is stealthy or unseen would be great way lure at least one the kidnappers for interrogation. Also in case of her disappearance I could track her with spell if she takes a some kind unique token into her person.<br/><br/>Anyways, my idea of the trap is simple; we know they plan to hit next night but all places are equally watched so they could strike anywhere. So let's create on purpose a hole in our defenses, nothing obvious as it would alarm them that it's a trap. But let's say you make announcement to guards that there is case of manhunt for someone and you must assign extra watch members for bogus task. Leaving one the rowhouses less defended. Now, with less guards the place would look inviting target for the arsonist and also kidnappers who no doubt take benefit of the chaos when rowhouse is on fire to get their victims as watch members go to put out the fires.<br/><br/>But we would be there on that rowhouse, blending in and some even outside keeping keen eye out for anyone who stands out weird. Also I suspect the fires are created by magic some kind so I could sit on some well advantaged point to the scene and keep concentrating on detecting magic. I would memorize a dispel magic and so be ready to counter dispel the spell and so prevent the arson and give pin point location where magic came off from. Or even better; use spell called<em>dimension door</em>and immediately transport myself to vicinity of the caster after counter spelling his or her spell. To reduce risk of kidnapping instruct every homeless person to move in pairs or small groups, in case of emergency. As no doubt kidnappers would target single individuals."""

Leaving one untrapped if they are suddenly expecting it just means that they would see it as the real trap... and I feel that I must remind you that there are now more than a thousand.. perhaps several thousand homeless out each night. What would the odds be that our lure would even get one of the hunter's attention, much less see anything wondering alleyways? It's just too long on the odds with the numbers growing, not shrinking."" She sighed then, ""I will agree that the burning of the residences has a dual purpose. To increase the number of homeless to pray upon, and as a distraction for the watch. If we focus on trying to pick a place to wait for someone to act, we'll eventually get the right one... in 8 days when there's only 1 left. Again, the odds do not favor us.

Same also applies if arsonist uses magic.<br/><br/>As conjurer if I would want set a fire, I would summon a entity which may be even incorporeal and so able slide underneath street's floors and along walls of rowhouse and set things on fire rather easily.

We also cannot keep eye to all homeless people who are already outside, so only choice is organize them to small groups and watched over by guards best as they can while we send our bait out and hope by Tymora's luck that the kidnappers take the bait.

She had done many jobs for them in the past and they had always proved to be at least interesting if not also an exciting challenge. As always she would endeavor to arrive a few minutes early, she prided herself on never being late to a meeting with a client. She wasted no time in ensuring that her usual gear and equipment was exactly where she expected it to be. She always sought to attend any meeting with a client, being rather well informed.

She was really just concerned with the news of the day while subtly stirring the conversations to the City Watch when opportunities presented themselves.<br/><br/>It was still early afternoon when she arrived at the City Watch headquarters and proceeded into the meeting room. Stepping over the threshold was a tall curvaceous young half elven woman. Her long dual colored curls were pulled up into a loose messy bun with several locks escaping here and there while her long bangs swept over the top of her gorgeous face at a sharp angle that usually covered her left eye. Each strand started at a striking raven before gradually turning to end in an intense crimson. Her captivating visage was complete with large golden orbs containing sparkling brown flecks, a perfectly proportioned slightly upturned nose and full soft lips.<br/><br/>Her voluptuous body was clad in a black leather bodysuit what seemed to have been painted on and despite fully covering her body, left very little to the imagination. Worn over the bodysuit was a glinting mithril chain shirt that held a small view in the upper chest to offer generous cleavage from 34 E breasts as they seemed to strain against the bodysuit. Hugging her slim waist above her wide hourglass hips was found a board leather belt which was studded with three moonstones. The bottom half off those long shapely legs were slipped into a pair of knee high high heels leather boots that seemed to match her bodysuit, a simple leather band which had a tiny pewter chime hanging from it was found around her right ankle. Over her shoulders hung a large sturdy haversack which was accompanied by a light crossbow on the right side while a short sword was sheathed at her left hip.<br/><br/>Preferring to be early, she was one of the first to arrive. After greeting the gather members of the City Watch she would spend her time inspecting and looking over the maps on her side of the room. Once it seemed that everyone who had been summoned had arrived, she was removing her haversack and crossbow from her back where they'd fine themselves next to one of the empty chairs. Plump perky leather clad southern cheeks soon found themselves within a chair. Those long legs were crossed as she leaned back comfortably.<br/><br/>She did not say much, simply listening carefully to the conversation being conducted around her, being sure to take in any and all information that was provided. Even though she had yet to participate in the discussion, she was alert and attentive, her head turning to each press as they spoke.<strong>""We could have more than a single person acting as bait if that would improve the effectiveness.

She looked back over her shoulder, ""Let me put the bait option into perspective. There are at least 1,000 homeless in three different sections of the city. Admittedly, the three sections are all in the southern end with the docks and warehouses... the poorest and least likely to be noticed as gone after a fire... take that 1,000 people. about 20 are taken every night, from all over those sections... That is not 20%. It's not 2%... it's less than 1/5th of 1% each night... Now, of those 20, if you put 2 people into it to act as bait, that's a 10% chance of getting selected..

Lets assume, instead that most of this is of mundane origins... that means that someone is close to the fire and setting it. It also means that there's othrs waitng for the fire to act, or have planned out the process. After a month to do this, they have that down. As I see it, we have to use the first night to figure out how they're doing it... Find how they are getting in and out is the first step. If alarm spells are set off, that narrows the locations because all of the entrances are alarmed. If one is disabled, we know that it's a possible entrance point... There are also a limited number of known passages into the region.. Most of those things down there will not bother a sizable force of people, and if they fear something, they'll avoid it...""<br/><br/>She poked at the maps, ""Our first step has to be to find out how and where.

Bait has now been said to of been tried, it didn't work and without offense to our heroic volumteers, it's practically impossible to actually work. You're 1 in a pool of thousands who don't look like they are trying to be caught... wolves pick the weakest of the herd, none of you look like you're weak under the best of disguises...

ponytail to the small of his back and short, matching, neatly trimmed beard.  He wore black trousers and jacket over an emerald green silk shirt that brought out the sparkle in his matching eyes.  Well tanned and with a greataxe sheathed across his back, Serge was not someone likely to be mistaken for the accomplished mage that he was!<br/><br/>Before he sat down, Serge greeted all those he already knew.  To Sim and Wren he offered a “well again,” and a wrist clasp, which he turned into an embrace and a kiss on the cheek.<br/><br/>Of Sim, he inquired after her parents, and how she was progressing in her arcane studies.<br/><br/>Of Wren, he inquired if the wound she’d suffered when they fought the sea serpent last season had healed fully.<br/><br/>The last to receive a personal greeting was to the raven haired beauty attired in scanty red ribbons.  “Maid Inana,” Serge’s eyes lit up as they met hers, and burned as they wandered briefly down her body.  “Serge Renard,” he introduced himself, taking her hand.  “I don’t know if you remember me.  We met briefly last week at the Celebration.”  By this he referred to the celebration of The Endless Revel of Life, in this instance a festival put on by the temple of Sharess.  The Feasthall Maiden’s clergy saw every new day as a cause for celebration.  And every new nightfall as well.  The red haired mage bowed over the bard’s hand and brushed his lips over her knuckles.  “I look forewords to working with you.”<br/><br/>His eyes took one last quick trip down the bard’s body before he found a seat next to a snow haired girl with eyes red as his hair.  He suspected she was a tiefling, but that didn’t bother him.  He wasn’t exactly human himself, truth be told…<br/><br/>As much as he would enjoy spending more time on the eye candy, when the watchman began his address he had Serge’s full attention, as did the older woman who shared his profession when it was her turn to speak.  Occasionally he nodded thoughtfully.<br/><br/>Wren was the first to speak up.  Serge nodded in appreciation of the clever swashbuckler’s savvy, and spoke up quickly that he agreed with her on accepting the jobs, and appreciating the generous retainer.<br/><br/>The next to speak was a somewhat androgynous being in red robes…  Was that a Thayan accent?  It sounded familiar from the enclaves where he’d gone to purchase healing quaffs and spell access when there was no viable alternative.<br/><br/>After the two of them had expressed their theories about flushing more kidnapping victims out onto the street, he added, “It’s also a good strategy to incite a riot.”<br/><br/>His emerald eyes fell on the waifish girl with and her friend on her shoulder.  “Mr. Whiskers.”  Serge bit his lip not to laugh in delight, and his eyes danced.  Oh, should he feel guilty for how attractive he found her?  He could tell she was old enough for love despite the glazed eyes and whimsical speech, but he might be as much as ten years this girl’s senior?<br/><br/>Later on, when the androgynous man spoke up about being a conjurer, the burly axe man added, “I have some skills with divination myself.  Between us, and with some persistence, we can probably come up with something useful.  Also, there are communication spells that can facilitate operations like these.  For example, sending important information straight to a ranking watch officer’s secretary with a whispering wind.<br/><br/>Serge continued to ponder through the discussion.  Finaly, he spoke up.  “For those who don’t know me, I’m Serge Renard.  I’m an Eldritch Knight, skilled with divinations as well as spells based on force and fire.<br/><br/>“I have one thing to add at this point.  On the topic of places to hide hundreds of kidnapped victims or bodies at once.  Outside the city, bellow in Undermountain—especially skullport.  These are two of the best three options, yes.  The last one is particularly appropriate if these victims are already dead.”  The redhead pointed to a map of the city, to a walled graveyard taking up almost a fifth of the city.  “The City of the Dead.”<br/><br/>He steepled his fingers for a moment, then finally offered, “While normal magical methods make the sewers the best option for moving that many people, certain beings can pass between the planes of existence as they please.  I’ve made a study of ethereal creatures and effects over the years, as I have some special techniques for dealing with them.  What actually comes to my mind, though, is the Githyanik.  Raiders and reavers from the astral plane, they’ve been known to come into this world and leave it with equal ease, sometimes taking prisoners or loot with them.  This is just one example of how extra planar creatures are something we should look out for on this investigation.”<br/>"

For such foe I can prepare before hand a spell which blocks entirely all teleporting and planar travel, so that our quarry does not escape through either planar or teleporting means.<br/><br/>Also all githyanki are gifted with mind magic, so they can easily create fire in means which go beyond our own knowledge or can simply enter and leave buildings with dimensional door sort of teleportation. Not to mention they are well organized and militaristic planar culture so they could organize months lasting raid and keep the pace up steadily. Of course twenty people per night is quite specific number, so it raises idea that it's the raiders maximum capacity per night."""

""Or maybe there is a cult of some kind that has taken refuge in or under the city, and is looking for new members, willing or otherwise,"" he added. His thoughts were a bit more simple on the matter than sacrifices to some fiend or god, or as part of some ritual. That said, a cult could be responsible for such things.

As for spells, he knows that twenty people per night could be put to use for dozens of purposes, ranging from simple necromancy to the capturing of souls for currency in the Hells or spell components, and from transmuting the people into animals to teleporting them somehow to a faraway land for enslavement.

At only around 4pm in the summertime, it's not yet dark outside, though it is the heat of the day. While the sewers will not be a great place to visit, at least they will be cool compared to the 85*F heat of the sunlit cobblestone streets of Waterdeep. The manhole around which they currently stand is fairly innocuous, a disk of dark steel bearing the emblem of the Cellarers' and Plumbers' Guild: two masonry trowels crossing over a vertical pointed-tip shovel.<br/><br/>Lifting the manhole is fairly easy, as there are holes in it strategically placed to make it easy to lift without a special tool. (Apparently the Cellarers' and Plumbers' Guild didn't want their workers to have to carry<em>more</em>tools with them to perform a repair job. The downside is that anyone can get into the sewers with no special equipment.) When the manhole is lifted, the most easily noticeable smells are mold and mildew, not feces, since the sewers also serve as the storm drain system of Waterdeep, and poo is actually put into the sewer in smaller quantities than rain water, laundry water, or in some areas, waste water from tanneries. The dark, damp atmosphere, however, does make for the perfect breeding ground for molds and mildews.<br/><br/>The ladder is slippery, but the pitch-lined boots keep that from being a problem, and in just a few minutes, the group is standing at the bottom of the ladder, about twenty-five feet below the streets of Waterdeep.<br/><br/>{Since you guys are all level 8, and it would just be tedious to get a Climb check from everyone for a slippery ladder, or to deal with a handful of falling damage if you failed it, we'll just say that you all made it down the ladder.}<br/><br/>As lights are lit, the shape and design of the sewers become apparent. This particular pipe is a more or less rectangular tube, fifteen feet wide with eight foot high ceilings. It's got a five foot wide walkway on either side with a five foot square 'ditch' in the middle, a lowered area running the length of the tube where a stream of waste water is currently running. They are designed so that a team of sewer workers could walk single-file down each of the sides without getting soaked and filthy during normal sewer operation, and that in an especially heavy storm when the sewers are flooded with rain water, the upper portion of the sewers would provide space for the extra water to flow through. As it is, there is room for two single-file lines of adventurers to walk with a five foot gap in between the two lines."

Directly north of the Castle Ward is the Sea Ward, the northwest corner of the city. To the northeast of the Castle Ward, and the east of the Sea Ward is the North Ward. Living in these three are the upper-class of Waterdhavian society, and the buildings there primarily serve as government buildings, temples, high-end shops and festhalls, and for the North Ward especially, noble villas.<br/><br/>Directly east of the Castle Ward is the Trades Ward, where average-quality shops, taverns, and festhalls are located. South of the Castle Ward is the Dock Ward, where low-end shops, taverns, festhalls, and the occasional brothel, strip club, and drug den are located. Southeast of the Castle Ward, at the southern tip of Waterdeep, is the South Ward, another source of average-quality shops, taverns, and festhalls, since it is the first place that travelers from south of Waterdeep enter.<br/><br/>(And nestled in between the North Ward and the Trades Ward, on the eastern central side of Waterdeep, is the City of the Dead, Waterdeep's cemetery filled with moss-covered mausoleums and the tombs of wealthy nobles.)<br/><br/>{And here's why I just described the map of Waterdeep in some detail:}<br/><br/>As the adventurers begin to head east through the sewers from the secondary pipe that they're currently at into a wider primary pipe, twenty feet across with the same five-foot walkways on either side and a flowing stream of sewage in between, they notice that the Castle Ward sewers are relatively clean, or cleaner than expected. Perhaps this is due to the nature of the Ward above, and the fact that it's likely that the sewers here are not used as much as they are in other wards, neither for foot traffic or for the transportation of waste water.<br/><br/>Occasional signs on the wall give directions concerning which ward of the city they are currently below, and which surface shafts (as they're numbered on the map) lie in either direction, along with distances to each of them. The Cellarers' and Plumbers' Guild certainly seems to have made some effort to make navigating the sewers as easy as possible, whether for themselves or for anyone down here illegally.<br/><br/>The adventurers head through the sewers in the only direction available to take them deeper into the sewers for easily twenty minutes, the large pipe taking them south, then southeast, then south again. Heading south down a large primary sewer pipe, twenty feet across, the adventurers notice that the sign on the side of the sewer reads ""Surface Shaft 46 ahead / Now entering Docks Ward"". The water in the middle is higher, and is now just barely below the grimy walkways on either side.<br/><br/>{At this point, I need marching order for the two groups, the group on the west side of the south-bound tunnel, and the group on the east side.}"

She was then slipping the boots and the platinum into her haversack before making ready to leave with Serge. As soon as they were outside of the City Watch building, she would offer a loud long whistle into the air. After several moments a red-tailed hawk was landing upon her left shoulder. The two of them would have a third companion as they went about their business.<br/><br/>She was simply delighted to once again have Serge watching her back. While she could certainly take care of herself if things went bad, it was always welcome to have a trusted friend at your side. The twos hours were mostly spent checking in with a couple of her associates and contacts, as well as visiting a few taverns frequented by sewer workers. She was so very tempted to spend part of those two hours fully catching up with Serge later, but there should be plenty of time for that later on. For now it was important for them to learn as much as they could before it came time to venture into the sewers.<br/><br/>While she had only visited the Following Winds a couple of times in the past, she did not have trouble finding it. With a few whispered elven words, the hawk would fly from her shoulder before she entered the tavern. She would rejoin the group at their table, proceeding to chat and share some of what her and Serge learned while enjoying a spice potato and a bit of ale. Before exiting the Following Winds to head to the sewers, she took the time to remove her own knee-high high-heeled leather boots and replace them with the City Watch's loaned pitch lined adaptive-fitting boots. She made no complaints nor did it seem she needed any time to get used to boots with a flat heel.<br/><br/>Soon enough they found themselves infront of the manhole cover which was easily opened.

It's hard to nail down distance with the echoing noise off of the sewer walls, though, but whatever is creating the noises is beyond the range of anyone's darkvision at the moment.<br/><br/>Ghaazala notices that the rats, which range from several inches long to nearly a foot in length not counting the tail (which everybody knows is just how big these rats can get, nothing special there), seem to have been killed in peculiar ways. Some of the whole rats appear to have been stomped to death, others seem to have been squeezed to death. Concerning the rat halves, some of them have been torn in half based on the fraying of the flesh and the fact that none is missing, while others have been bitten in half with several bites. Ghaazala isn't able to tell what bit these rats in half, but it looks as though each chunk that was bitten off was no larger than a handful of flesh.<br/><br/>Serge is able to learn all of that, too, but when he looks at the shapes of the bites he doesn't think of ""what"" did that, but of ""who"". The bites look as though they came from a human mouth. As for what could be in the water, Serge knows that a lot of things live in the sewers, including vermin, oozes, bats and rats, but none of those would really have produced sounds that Wren would have considered as sounds of something moving through the water. Even a big rat wouldn't make enough of a noise to hear over the flow of water, most likely.<br/><br/>Concerning what could be in the water, Ghaazala knows that virtually anything that could have swum up from Waterdeep Harbor into which the sewers empty at water level (so there's no small waterfall of sewage coming out of a pipe into the harbor; a fish could swim into the sewer without having to jump like a salmon swimming upstream). However, some of the things that she knows could be here specifically are all types of vermin, oozes, stirges, bats and rats, fish of all types, and even the occasional crocodile or other large creature.<br/><br/>Ghaazala can't hear anything over the echoing flow of water through the pipes."

If it's lost, then whatever it is needs finding, or flushing out.<br/><br/>The tiefling's philosophy is simple, honed during her years as a caravan guard. Ambushes are best sprung slightly before they expect to be sprung. Hit them while they're getting ready to hit you. Try to keep them off balance so they can't focus the ambush the way they meant it to. Caravans will dawdle along at a reasonable speed down their paths until they're coming up on a choke point or other place an ambush might be waiting...Then some will stop, let the scouts go ahead and explore...But others, the ones that have a timetable to make and an overseer with a ruthless attitude, sometimes quicken the pace, go full tilt, try to disrupt the plans of whoever might be watching and counting on having time to finish readying their trap.<br/><br/>Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.<br/><br/>Of course, such caravans put out scouts and outriders, too, and it's their job to jump into such things with both boots if there's no time to warn those behind them...Raise enough of a ruckus to make it obvious what's happening, and hopefully the people coming up to your rear will make it in time (and with enough warning) to bail you out.<br/><br/>Ghaazala doesn't<em>communicate</em>all of this thought process this to everyone. She just says something irritably frustrated under her breath about ""Tired of waitin' to be hit. Let's kick it over and see what comes out. Look alert now."" while waving casually at the murky stream of sewage.<br/><br/>The wave isn't a spellcaster's gesture of any sort; it's just a lazy, off-handed flick...Almost a toss. Which makes the rapidly swelling, roughly humanoid-shaped thing of dim light that flickers into existence from her hand and drops into the water somewhat surprising. The faintly glowing form grows to about man-size and hurtles up the disgusting stream, headed the way the familiar came flying back from, ahead of the party, with only its 'head' above the water. The figure seems to get brighter as it moves away, but that's only a trick of the light...Its dim glow is simply more visible the further it gets from the various flaming, glowing, sparkling weaponry in the party's hands. The apparition moves quickly, like some kind of dimly-glowing spirit or golem surging through the water, but the observant may notice it makes no splashes and leaves no wake.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spell-Like Abilities, Hooray</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">SLA: Dancing Lights (and easily recognizable as such by any arcane caster), standard action to cast, range 180' for Ghaazala, duration 1 minute, can move up to 100' per round but she's keeping it at the speed of a running humanoid, surging it to its distance limit down the sewage stream ahead of them toward, then past where the familiar reputedly saw something...About 80' ahead, perhaps fifty feet past that, then back again. Hoping to freak out anything hiding in the water.

First, a HUGE thanks to Carnival, without whom we wouldn't have this great battle map (since I had already given up on that website and gone to MS Paint. Secondly, the instructions for how to use it are very simple for your parts: Move your character token where you want them to go and hit Return. That will give you a new URL for the updated map, which you'll post along with your actions. If you screw things up, that's fine! Just hit refresh instead of Return and the map will go back to its state before you changed anything. We won't worry about running into each other or one character being in the way of another as far as movement goes, so you guys can feel free to post the updated maps in any order, even though the actions will occur in the order of the initiative. It may be a little immersion-breaking as far as being on a five-foot-wide ledge goes, but if Voloke wants to brush past Wren before she takes her turn, we won't make a big deal about occupied spaces.<br/><br/>What the battle map tells at the moment is that there are four creatures standing two abreast in the murky water, about forty feet ahead of the front of the group. Wren is at the front on the left, with the creatures about ten feet ahead of her and five feet to the side, in the water. Behind Wren is Voloke, Adrian, and Elle. On the opposite ledge is Ghazaala at the front, followed by Cail, Serge, and Inanna.<br/><br/>Now for the initiative order: Voloke, Cail, Ghaazala, the baddies, Serge, Wren, Elle, Inanna, and Adrian.<br/><br/>One word of advice before we begin the battle. That is sewage that the baddies are in. You don't want that to come in contact with any open wounds or your face or eyes. Also bear in mind that it is mostly water, and it's deep enough that you guys could drown in it if something held you below the surface.}<br/><br/>http://beta.ditzie.com/51285/5289cb69d1ee3<br/><br/>Adrian and Ghaazala recognize these creatures as wights, a form of undead that is driven by hate for living creatures and that can drain the life out of someone through contact and turn them into wights as well. Ghaazala recognizes one of them, the redhead, as someone she's seen using the sewers before. Apparently he met an untimely fate down here, but she hasn't heard of anything wight-like in the area recently.<br/><br/>{Now get those actions in and we'll have our first round of combat! Just be sure to include the updated URL in your post. Enjoy, and let me know if you have any questions!}"

With that he moved behind one ally and he started chant a spell in draconic; ""By these words I shall break laws of nature and creation and bend it on my will;<strong><em>Asha detame vulgi thoram gulgosh tha!</em></strong>"" Upon finishing his incantation, instantly to feets of Wren and Serge got dark red glowing runes around their feet and they got suddenly a urge, a calling, to decide where to move and instant they thinked where they wanted to move...with red flash they all moved around the sewers to their new position!<br/><br/>OOC: Adrian casts Dimension Step (http://dndtools.eu/spells/players-handbook-ii--80/dimension-step--2923/) spell (striked above list already).

Several months ago there was a jewelry heist in which the thief seemed to have escaped and disappeared in the Docks ward sewers, the stolen jewelry having yet to surface nor has the thief been heard from or seen since.<br/><br/>Back in the sewers she kept her crossbow trained upon locations possible threats could come from, including the water especially after Wren mentioned she heard something traveling within it. Her voice was heard from behind Serge in a lowered whisper<strong>""I certainly hope I've adequately shown my appreciation for your gracefulness in the past.""</strong>A little lower so that Serge would likely be the only one to hear<strong>""And I can't wait to get another chance to do so""</strong>Even as she spoke, her attention never left the sights of her crossbow as she scanned the immediate area with it while continuing to move forward with the party.<br/><br/>A disgusted frown couldn't help but appear upon those full lips at the realization that the bites on the rats may have come from a human, or at the very least a humanoid. A concerned eye moving to Serge as he briefly doubled over, her left hand leaving the crossbow's underside to be placed upon his shoulder as she stepped a bit closer to him. Almost immediately it seemed he had recovered, her left hand resuming it's place under her crossbow. Ghaazala did indeed bring up some very good points regarding just what might've attacked the rats and why.<br/><br/>For the most part Sim chose to remain silent, preferring to focus her attention on seeing and hearing. She moved forward along with the rest of the group, prepared to respond to any threat that presented itself be it from an ambush or some other trap. The Ghaazala cast that very familiar spell, she had never seen dancing lights used in that manner and would be sure to keep the memory for future reference. Adrian isn't the only one to back away from the edge, she keeps as tight as she can to the wall without restricting her use of the crossbow in her hands.<br/><br/>Four attackers that looked roughly human, but then again she knows all too well that one should never judge a book by it's cover. The aim of her crossbow falling to rest upon the head of one of the front-most creatures. As soon as Wren called out to watch behind them, her aim swung around to cover behind them. Ensuring that nothing would go unseen, ready to shoot any threat and appeared. Sadly it seemed that the enemy were Wights, and since dealing with undead was really not one of her strengths, she chose to remain near the back of the party on the look out for any ambushers coming from the rear.<br/><br/>As Inanna began her wonderful inspiring dance, she would move behind her so that she was now at the rear of the party on her side of the pipe. Should any threats come from behind, they would encounter her and her crossbow first, rather than Inanna.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Sorry about no map update, someone may have to explain exactly how it works, seems I might have to create an account and log in.<br/><br/>From first round of combat onward, Move Action to move behind Inanna, Standard Action to ready an action, to shoot any threat that appears in her line of sight behind them.</div></div>"

You don't put hidden doors as hidden on just one side and it may be in a closet or something for all I know.""<br/><br/>Another finger comes up to join the first. ""Two. Will your spells tell the difference between me and them? I don't want to get caught up by entanglements or webs if I walk into the room... and webs have a nasty habit of catching both sides...""<br/><br/>And, finally, a third finger joins the first two.. ""Three. Your fire spell promises to kill all of them outright? We don't have to go in and find out that you only singed 20 and more of them?""<br/><br/>She looked from Surge and the others, ""A good and valid point was made here. We were hired to find the possible source of the trouble, not remove it. Furthermore, we were told without doubt that we could engage only if our lives were at risk. Our orders were to report to the watch... and they have battle mages to deal with this and keep them all inside...I want to put in one more point... We killed 4 in the sewer... what if there's 20 more of them on their way back from their snacks? We may find ourselves trapped between two forces... I'll go up against any 2, even 3 living and breathing foes and place my faith in Lady Luck, but not at 4 to 5 to one odds against something that can kill me with a touch. If we fight, if we could draw them out, the best plan would be to hold the doorway and give ground grungingly... but what's to say that they simply won't go out the front door and down into the sewer behind us... no, the ground is just bad for a fight. I say we go and report this. They've been here for a while and a daylight strike by the watch may be a better option. If they ask us to join in, fine... but going in there with spells that may snarl us as well... I just don't like it."""

However web and black tentacles are only twenty feet or so radius wide. Also the spell which creates sand is not fire spell and not that powerful in one shot but it lasts full eight minutes and harms constantly, but that also is twenty yard radius.<br/><br/>So answer your questions Wren; first case I cannot give any insurances as Ghazaala pointed out I do not know exact structure where wights are. But if wights run into spells they definitely are snared or slowed down but as Ghazaala said earlier they are not bright but not stupid. In second case my spells do not differ between ally nor foe, so it would very much depend blindly bombard the areas where wights are to harm them. In third I am sure if I get wights stuck with my control spells and I land my sand spell, it will kill them slowly.<br/><br/>But I agree it's better nail the door stuck and go report, I just mentioned I can handle sixty or even hundred wights but only if they stumble upon my control spells. It depends rest of you can you kill the wights before spells durations run out. Only what I worry is that we leave and the wights figure out that someone has nailed their secret door and they spill upon the streets. Also what worries me more; is that there are more cellars like these across the city. As after all twenty people around per night for month gives a lot more than sixty or even hundred wights.<br/><br/>But it's pure miracle, or manipulation of skilled necromancer, to control so many blood thirsty wights. As wights are not known for their patience to sit in cellars in middle of thriving living metropolis. They would had more boldly and earlier struck out on live prey on streets. Not to mention they are not that clever undead to organize their feeding and limit it to twenty people or so....or arrange arson to drive victims onto streets on chaos where party of wights may be go unspotted."""

As soon as she had entered the alleyway she had quickly cast a rather helpful spell. While she may have stayed fairly clean while venturing into the sewers, it was better to be sure. Prestidigitation went to work promptly clearing herself of any of the sewer's filth that she managed to collect on the mission. Her eyes continued to study the tavern as the spell worked it's magic ensure that she was completely clean.<br/><br/>It wasn't long before a persona was forming within her mind and she was moving to make the necessary adjustments even as the helpful cantrip was still in the process of performing it's duties. She had directed the Prestidigitation spell to begin with what she would likely be changing first. It had started with her haversack, boots, crossbow and chain shirt before moving onto her vestments and body, so that each would be clean before it was their turn to be adjusted.<br/><br/>Her haversack was slipped off to be placed atop a large crate, her crossbow being placed inside. The City Watch's loaned boots were next, switching them out for her usual high-heeled knee-high boots which were promptly slipped on and laced up. Her mithril chain shirt was soon being slipped over her head to join the crossbow and loaned boots in the haversack before the elven word for 'fashion' was spoken in a hushed whisper. Her vestments changing briefly from a bodysuit into a short leather skirt, her hands immediately moving beneath the skirt to remove a pair of skimpy thongish bikini cut silk panties that tied at the hips.<br/><br/>The command word was once again spoken, the skirt changing into a pair of skin tight leather pants that sat dangerously low upon those curved hips. Not only did the pants fit her lower body like a second skin, but they also exposed a great deal of sunkissed flesh. The leather pants laced closed at the outer side of each leg allowing a nice teasing peek of bare leg. Her upper torso was clad in what she had been wearing underneath her bodysuit, a dark red strapless little silk mini-bustier with black lace cups supporting those large perky twins so wonderfully. The bustier's hem ending just above her naval while the strapless cups kept her upper back and shoulders completely bare. Those 34 E breasts were lifted subtlety while being pushed together to create a deep valley of cleavage as those perky twins seemed to threaten escaping their lace prison.<br/><br/>With the changes to her attire made, it was time to adjust her facial features and body. Her body did not change much however, she stayed with her current height but added a little more weight as her muscles became slightly more defined, not over-done, just a bit more athletic. Her facial structure would only shift slightly as well, keeping a captivating beautiful visage. Her hair changing from a loose messy bun into a long ponytail that reached all the away down to just above those plump southern cheeks. Those luscious locks turning completely crimson as her bangs retreated to only a few wayward tendrils that hung in front of both still pointed ears. Her eyes becoming a bit smaller while their hue changed to an intense sparkling green. The final touches were in the form of several long scars, one over the right side of her face, another along the front of her left shoulder while the third wrapped around her right forearm, it's tip licking at her bicep. The changes taking mere moments to complete.<br/><br/>Stepping from the alley was a bold intimidating yet flirtatious beautiful half-elven adventurer. Confident long strides caused those curved hips to sway as she approached the bar, hopping atop a barstool while placing her haversack on the floor beside it. She would lean forward, offering the bartender a perfect view of her straining cleavage as she would order a few strong drinks before engaging the bartender in conversation. Subtly steering the conversation towards the subject of secret fights in the tavern's basements. She would seem to be looking for a good violent show that would also offer the opportunity for some gambling fun. She would not shy away from those that approached her, her attitude bold and aggressive while she returned each dirty joke or sexual innuendo with some of her own. She was generous with they eyecandy she provided while buying drinks for those that seemed to have first hand experience with the tavern's rumored back-room fights.<br/><br/>She too would offer a curious raising of an eyebrow as she looked around at the sounds of whooshing and muffled screams before returning to the fun at hand. She knew exactly what it was and was hoping that everything was going according to plan down in the sewers and known of her comrades were in danger, but that concern did not translate to show in her expressions. To everyone in the tavern, she was a visiting adventurer who wasn't afraid to get rough, loved to flirt and jest while being quick to buy drinks for new friends.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Prestidigitation Cast<br/><br/>Bluff: At 2013-12-14 05:00:53, Sim (uid: 43146) rolls: 1d20a16 Result: 31 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=52751)<br/><br/>Gather Information: At 2013-12-14 05:01:17, Sim (uid: 43146) rolls: 1d20a16 Result: 25 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=52752)</div></div>"

So if there are necromancer involved, necromancer may be able control the so called master wight and it does not ask much effort at all unless wight is very powerful. Through controlling master wight the necromancer controls whole horde of said wight's spawns.<br/><br/>Now necromancer may have scrying spell and send just with simple message spell orders to said wight from a distance so necromancer may not be even here. Overall considering wights basic nature, this sort of long term planning is unlike of one unless they are decades or more old and has serious vendetta issues with the city itself. So I place ten gold bet on that necromancer controls master wight. I doubt the master wight and the second generation, the first victims, would not be found in the slave pens.<br/><br/>Considering they are in slave pens, it means whoever is the necromancer is very familiar or has bought information of these pens from someone. Likely from Skullport. I dare say if necromancer was any worth his salt, he may had placed alarm spell or some trigger onto each room to know when they are breached. Also master wight can sense when it's spawn are killed potentially and so inform necromancer someone just croaked 30 wights all at once almost.<br/><br/>So they may release the horde prematurely......"""

The city is too large for even an army to take it back with a hundred thousand dead running about... for all we know, it's a demon in charge or just someone who is giving a wight what it wants... there's more than enough anger in them to make the idea of taking over the city worth while...""<br/><br/>She looked at the door again, ""If an alarm had been set off, we would of seen a response before we got back... and the door being locked may not of been to keep them in, but us out.  The door cannot be opened from the inside, so anyone who walks in gets eaten...

If one of them is opened, we will rush to that spot with a dozen members of the City Watch.""</strong><br/><br/><strong>""There are a handful of taverns and inns in the area that we've got people watching, but none of them are as big a target as The Copper Cup.

The Copper Cup is the nearest, largest festhall and inn to the South Gate, which makes it an ideal stopping point for travelers coming in on the southern road, the Trade Way.<br/><br/><strong>""But we've got Watchmen standing by at all of those places, with a squad of Guards ready to be there at a moment's notice. You lot will be at The Copper Cup with us because that's where we're thinking the arson will be tonight, but we haven't left the other places undefended.""</strong><br/><br/>Brace nods to Cail.<strong>""If that's what you wanna do, that'd be fine.""</strong>"

From the description he gives, the first floor is a square with a door in the middle of the top side (the north side). Just inside the building, along the north wall is a foyer area which Brace points out will have at least one bouncer who may be armed; no weapons will be permitted inside the festhall, and any equipment can be checked there for retrieval upon leaving. There's a door that the bouncer will let people through and which leads to the main area of the festhall. Brace points out areas in the southwest corner that will have baths kept warm and clean, both public and smaller rooms off to the side with private baths. The southeast corner is the festhall's restaurant and tavern, where fine meals and drinks are served. In the middle of the south wall is an area devoted to gambling, with tables built for card games and dice games. A small spiral staircase in the center of the square leads downward into the basement and a staircase along the eastern wall leads upwards. (A staircase along the outside of the building leads up to the third floor, where the tenants live.)<br/><br/>Brace also mentions that the basement is the more theatrical 'dungeon' themed room where a priestess or two of Loviatar is known to work, but also where courtesans double as actresses and actors to allow people to act out their fantasies. The second floor is for more illustrious clientele than Brace, so he doesn't know much about it other than that it is a members only area with its own bouncer at the staircase (and that membership is by referral only and is very expensive)."

He is wearing a masquerade mask that covers the top half of his face with large red feathers coming off of it. Hanging off the right side of his belt is a well-polished, studded club that has been painted the yellow of his suit.<br/><br/>The foyer itself seems to be a fairly simple room with marble floors and small alcoves set into the walls with paintings in them, most of which include at least one nude figure. Behind the man is a curtain, which according to Brace (and Wren's experience) leads into the main room of the festhall. To the left of the adventurers is a small room separated from the foyer by a chest-high counter and a set of bars with a space designed for passing items back and forth but not large enough to allow someone to hop over the counter and enter the room. The bars themselves appear to be painted gold.<br/><br/><strong>""Welcome to The Copper Cup,""</strong>the large man says in a deep voice.<strong>""Leave your equipment with the gentleman in the side room and then come back here for a patdown.""</strong><br/><br/>On the other side of the counter, standing on a box, presumably, is a bald gnome in a brown suit coat with a white shirt and brown vest underneath, wearing large glasses. He appears to be in his late-middle age for a gnome, maybe between 125 and 150 years old.<br/><br/><strong>""Yes, yes? What have you got for me?""</strong>He reaches into a box and pulls out a tag with string laced through a punched hole and stamps the paper tag with a mechanical stamp that he dabs on an ink pad first. It stamps a number onto the tag and he looks up at the group of people in the foyer.<br/><br/><br/>**Outside The Copper Cup**<br/><br/>Those outside The Copper Cup are led into the shop across the street, a store that sells wines and spirits along with various types of specialty mugs and steins, and dried leaves of various plants and flavors for smoking as well as the whole range of smoking pipes, from simple corncob pipes to wood carved pipes to a few carved from ivory and bone, and for those who don't want a pipe, there is rolling paper, water pipes, and hookahs as well. The gray-haired old man that runs the shop, with a tobacco-stained beard and blue eyes, arcs an eyebrow and watches them as they enter but nods to Brace when he spots him.<br/><br/><strong>""We'll be out of your way before long, mate,""</strong>Brace says.<strong>""And gods-willing, I'll be back in the morning to pick up a bag or two of your fire-cured Tethyrian blend and a bottle of Firedrake,""</strong>Brace says.<br/><br/>That seems to satisfy the old man, who starts restocking his shelves with a cart loaded down with bottles and casks from his storeroom."

The street, a small road coming off of the main road of Waterdeep, seems to be getting progressively less busy as the twilight become evening, and a few minutes after they enter the building a young man from the Guild of Chandlers and Lamplighters refills and lights the oil lamps outside on the street corners.<br/><br/>There's an alleyway going down each side of The Copper Cup, but they are clean and decently well lit from the street lamps and the red glow coming from the light coming through stained glass inside the building. The only place that Serge has a difficult time seeing from inside the tobacconist's shop is upward due to the overhanging eave of the building.

She attempted to remember what information she could about the Copper Cup as she waited for her turn at the counter.<br/><br/>She could not help that small grin from appearing upon those full pouty northern lips as she listened to Wren and Cail's exchange. Sadly it did indeed seem that the gnome behind the counter was rather dedicated to his job, so she was reluctantly slipped her haversack from her shoulders and placing it upon the counter. However, before her released her hold on the backpack, she asked<strong>""What assurances do we have that you will indeed keep our belongings secure while we enjoy the services you provide in safety?""</strong>A fair question, she would ponder the gnome's answer before allowing her fingers to uncurl from one of the Haversack's straps.<br/><br/>She wasn't really concerned about her haversack's safety behind the counter and would be surprised if anything were to indeed happen to it. The gnome taking his job so seriously was actually somewhat of a comfort. As for losing the weapons momentarily? Well, weapons were usually a last resort for her anyway.

She had been sent to check on the condition of a newly arrived caravan from Amn. Its cargo was iron for the church to use in creating weapons and armor. It had been a long and perilous journey, but thankfully the mercenaries under a skilled Paladin had made the journey with few encounters of note. Since Selena didn't know a lot about the Sword Coast or more accurately, the Western Heartlands, she had too take the Paladin's word for it. She had heard tales of how untamed the area was, as it apparently only had Baldur's Gate as its primary city. Otherwise, largely being unclaimed by any one powerful nation. So to hear the Paladin say they made it to Waterdeep without much trouble, was impressive.<br/><br/>Walking north, out of the district, Selena couldn't help but spot the fiery glow from afar. It seemed to be coming from the area that the Copper Cup was in. Selena had been inside a few times in her earlier years. Now she tended to visit less strict places, as she preferred having her belongings close at hand. Still, a fire was a fire, and she raced off in the direction of trouble.<br/><br/>Selena reached the building in time to see an flaming arrow shot arch over the rooftops and land atop the structure already ablaze. Then she saw two individuals appear out, and one promptly disappeared at the hands of a skilled wizard. Her brow arched for a moment, then she looked up at the fiery glow. Obviously someone had set the fire via flaming arrows, but she could possibly stop the fire. Her mind raced a moment, then she abruptly ran to the Wizard. ""Hey!"" she shouted over the din of panic and shouts from onlookers. ""Can you get me up on the flaming roof like you did your companion? I might be able to put out the fire.""<br/><br/>What he or anyone nearby in a direct line of sight saw, was a woman dressed in a dark brown leather attire. Her jerkin and pants were all leather as well as her boots. She wore an exotic looking cloak with hood over her head. Her cloak had intricate weaving along its entire surface. It must have come from the East some place, perhaps Calimshan as the next plausible location. Slung over her shoulder was a crossbow; with a mace at her left side. The color of her hair was hard to see in the dark, looking either black or perhaps a very dark brown. What stuck out most about her, was her softly glowing purple eyes. She wasn't a normal Elf or Human, that much was for sure. Yet, she showed no fear in letting a stranger see this facet. Thus, she had to be a local who was accustomed to Waterdeep and Waterdeep was accustomed to her (by enlarge).<br/><br/>What Selena had in mind was dangerous, but she was betting that the fire was not magical in nature.

Unfortunately for Selena, she has no idea who is the arson and who is apart of the team out to capture or kill the arson. She levels her crossbow, as she spares a glance to Adrian. ""Which one is your teammate? The man or the woman? I don't want to hit anyone I shouldn't.""<br/><br/>Suddenly, a winged being came landing in a hurry upon the rooftop. Weapon brandished, and demanding who had started the fire. Or so Selena interpreted from her words. Selena was mildly impressed. She had caught word that an angelic-like being had been spotted in and around Waterdeep, but until now, hadn't seen the woman. Her display and looks (from behind), were not disappointing. Her armor was well maintained and glistening under the light of the fire. From what Selena could make out from the rear, the woman might have been a lesser Celestial, though her bearing was a little off. It was a bit wilder, less noble and stoic. Quickly, Selena deduced that the woman was not a Celestial and most certainly the woman the rumor mill had been talking about. With a smirk, Selena thought to herself, ""Whoever the arson is, things are quickly going against him or her."""

Imps can fly twice as fast as the vampiress in her gaseous form, so there's no challenge catching up to it, even with the imp having to backtrack slightly as it had chosen the wrong direction initially. Sensing that it was being followed again, the vampiress heads up another drain pipe too large for the imp to follow.<br/><br/>With defeat almost on him, the imp has an idea and decides to put it in practice. The storm drains in Waterdeep empty into the sewers, so if he can find a storm drain, he could find a quick exit in this area and narrow down the list of possible buildings the vampiress entered. Less than a minute later, the imp is on the surface, invisibly searching here and there for the gaseous form of the vampiress. When he catches sight of it again, made easier by gaining a little altitude and giving the imp a more broad view for its cat-like eyes to search, it's heading toward a specific warehouse in the Docks Ward. He glides up to a window and catches sight of it slipping into a wooden coffin.<br/><br/>Seated near the coffin is a woman in thin, elegant black robes (nearly a dress, but not so fancy) with very pale skin and raven hair. One of her arms is concealed in a black velvet glove and she appears to be sitting, calmly reading a book until she spots the gaseous form enter the coffin. She then slams the book, tosses it aside, and snaps the fingers of her unconcealed hand and begins issuing orders to someone that the imp can't see from this angle. He decides that he's done enough recon to give a good description to Adrian, so he hurries back toward Adrian again.<br/><br/>*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *<br/><br/>About ten minutes after Adrian stuffs the snake into the pipe, the group hears the familiar meow of a perfectly visible tressym flying toward them. It relates a description of what it saw to Adrian (that is as detailed as my description above) including directions to the warehouse less than a mile away."

Since she had a decent, if not good, understanding of Arcane magic and the different mindsets that came with it based on traditions, she tried to understand Adrian's thought process. Just because he had left Thay, didn't mean he had suddenly been converted to the side of good. He still had ingrained behaviors and thoughts. Using an evil or near evil creature apparently didn't mean much to him. It probably wasn't an evil act in his mind. This, was the crux of the matter - for the most part. He saw his actions as alright, when others almost certainly would not.<br/><br/>Being a Priestess of Mystra, Selena had learned that Midnight, now Mystra, hated evil but had had to learn the hard way to remain neutral in all affairs regarding alignment. She was responsible to the Weave and its proper use and protection. It was not her place to police evil-related affairs. Thus, Selena realized that it was better to lay off Adrian. She had said her peace and now it was time to let him do as he would.

When Captain Rulathon spots the group entering the building, he wastes no time and with a few quickly issued orders (though not ""barked"", he is civilized), he has them escorted to the meeting room.<br/><br/>For those who have never seen Rulathon before, he is a grey-haired man with wiry muscles. His face is beginning to show his age, but he has fiery blue eyes that are as keen and piercing as ever. Thyriellentha is a woman of about forty with shoulder-length brown hair, a slender figure, and is currently wearing an ornate purple robe and a gold necklace with several astrological symbol-themed charms on it.<br/><br/>A long, wooden table runs nearly the entire length of the room. Along either side is a row of chairs, and Rulathon and Thyriellentha take a seat on one side along with a scribe and a few of the Watch-Wizards and Watch Officers present. The walls are lined with maps of Waterdeep at various levels of detail for each ward, many of them bearing pins in certain places around the city, denoting something relevant to the City Watch but perhaps not to anyone else. Among these maps are also maps of the Sword Coast and the city sewer system, also at varying levels of detail.<br/><br/>Already seated along the opposite side are a few new adventurers.<br/><br/><strong>{Go ahead and make a post of your characters arriving at the HQ and taking a seat at the table, Glyphstone, Ghostwheel, and Paladin101.

From here, I could see the arsonist clearly, a wwoman with a bow and a brazier. I thought that this was certainly planned because of the brazier, which seemed fairly heavy to get to the roof unseen.

They are, however, willing to lend us the use of their priests. What we presently need is the location of any remaining undead in the city and the location of the necromancer that you encountered. And perhaps what we need more than any of that is to maintain order and prevent a panic.

Vampires were pretty simple--a few weaknesses, but a very formidable threat none-the-less. A necromancer though... that was going to be trickier. Not only would they have to contend with the necromancer themselves, along with whatever array of spells and tricks they had up their sleeves, but their undead hordes would make it all the more difficult to get at them and stop their spellcasting.<br/><br/>He shifted slightly, and the coiled chain lined with vicious spikes made a slight rustling sound. ""So we wait until the necromancer is scryed upon, then try to take their heads off?

He sighed to himself and averted his eyes at the flirtatious behavior of the others. He hadn't realized that women in the city were so wanton, and so free with their affections. Well, no matter. He hoped that when it came to fighting in the streets, they would not be left fatigued after whatever romps they had throughout the night, or staying up until the crack of dawn in their merry-making. He put that matter aside, and thought about the matter at hand. A vampire and a necromancer. Perhaps they should acquisition stakes--and ensure that their hunt of the vampire was during the daytime, rather than seeking out the sorcerer, so that they might have the opportunity to flush him out into the light. That idea put a satisfied look on Dale's face, before it became a frown.<br/><br/>The vampire might have headed underground, down into the winding passages of the sewer system beneath Waterdeep. If it was there, then there would be no chance of flushing it down, and their need for light would give them away far before they were able to find him. They would also need protection against the weakening attacks both of the vampire... and any incorporeal undead they might find. He turned to the captain before they left; ""Captain Rulathon, is there any chance we might procure stakes and potions of Death Ward by tomorrow? It would do us little good if we were brought low by energy-draining assailants, or turned into a monster ourselves,"" he said, waiting for the answer before nodding and turning away.<br/><br/>He would then go to the inn where he had been staying at the last few nights, and prepare himself for the day to come, meditating upon the teachings of not only his school, but also the momentary flashes of divine inspiration that came to him.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Mechanics</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Knowledge (Religion): 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4519965/)</div></div>"

His shiftweave clothing assuming one of the five styles he had designed into it, a long black coat, sapphire blue silk shirt with white lace upon the cuffs, and black trousers and knee high boots. Upon his head he again donned his black bolero, making certain it still looked the same as it had last night, and then slid on his choice of mask for the day. Made from rose porphyry, a white stone, it appears to be a bearded male with his mouth held open in song. In place of eyes, the slits are carved runes. It was the mask of the High priest character. Anyone assessing his alignment this morning who had done so the prior night, would note he was no longer lawful, but was still good.<br/><br/>As he strode into the city watch HQ he nodded solemnly to his compatriots, moving at a measured, stately pace.

His fingers danced upon the strings, laying out a stirring little melody before falling back to a cascade of notes meant to resemble laughter.<br/><br/>((OOC:Didn't know if you wanted a roll for just idle lute playing, but even with a 1 he'd have a 14 perform check so I figured that sort of thing was the kind of playing he can do in his sleep.))"

Most importantly, she was free of any soot and ash from the previous night's fire extinguishing. The long bath cleaning her body while a morning casting of Prestidigitation took care of any of her belongings that the soot had found. Her curvacious form clad in that wonderfully tight bodysuit along with the other pieces of her usual adventuring attire. A smiling nod was her greetings to those gathered.<strong>""What if it isn't one of the boys doing the pinching?""</strong>She'd ask in response to Wren's playful warning.<br/><br/>Anton's lute soon capturing her attention as she found a good spot to watch the Scrying, she definitely wasn't going to miss it. After all Scrying was one of the spells she was most interested in and could not wait for the day when she was able to cast it herself. No doubt that watching it be cast by a mage other than her parents would assist her in furthering along that process. Her gaze couldn't help but perform a slow studying scan over the body of Adrian's new companion as the both of them entered. Her arms crossing under her own leather clad ample twins as she considered the scantily clad woman, her teeth biting down ever so slowly upon her lower lip as she watched the temptress' graceful movements as those introductions were made. She couldn't help but wonder just who this woman was and what qualified her to join them, and of course how Adrain and managed to find her on such short notice.<br/><br/>A quiet fascination captured her as Adrian opened his spellbook and began to copy the spell. Curious as to what enchantments had been placed upon the tome as well as the materials used to craft it. Her own spellbook seemed rather ordinary in comparison, but she was quite fond of it. After all it was usually best not to carry unique or special items that could give her away while under different personas. Adrian had her full undivided attention as he began to cast the spell she was so eager to learn more about. Not a single detail was missed, her alert senses absorbing everything from his movements, the words he spoke and the fumes rising from the iron bowl. She got as close as she possibility could without risking Adrian's concentration, closing her own mind to any of the distractions going on around them."

He was eager to begin this mission, and wondered what horrors they would face today, horrors that needed to be cleansed and purged from the world before it could continue upon its natural course. While he would have been far happier punching some pseudonatural creature from the Far Realms in the face, he looked forward to ending the horrors of the undead, who were almost as strange and unnatural as the strange beings he had seen outside the monastery in his youth or that he had fought on the few times he had faced them since.<br/><br/>He wasn't sure how he felt about his companions yet, but for now remained quiet. Anton felt a little... off to him. What kind of decent, law-abiding man kept his face behind a mask? And kept switching them? It seemed strange, almost as though the man didn't know what his real face was anymore and had to run to the mask to decide his own emotion and how to deal with things. It was ... strange, to say the least. Still, the words he said were ones that Dale could relate with, though he was unsure how much he wanted to cause mayhem and destruction in the middle of a ... 'lavender-scented brothel', to use the man's own words.<br/><br/>Wren seemed like an impetuous half-grown girl to him; she flounced about as though she were out on a lovely stroll rather than preparing to enter a monster's den and fight it on its own ground. He just hoped that he could count on her when the fighting became thick; many a man he had counted on, and been sure would stand by his side had run fleeing when the hoardes of evil descended, and he still bore scars from those experiences, though fortunately he had escaped them with little more than his life intact.<br/><br/>The wizard was... well, a wizard. Mysterious were their ways, and there was little to understand about them. He had never really gotten the whole 'spellcasting' thing down, regardless of how many times the monks had explained it to him, leaving him a little distrustful of such matters. It didn't make sense--wave your arms like a lunatic, speak gibberish like a madman, and suddenly a fireball exploded? He half-suspected that it was an unnatural abomination, but the priests, city guardsmen, clerics of Mystra, and many other people had hammered it into his head that it was natural and fine and that he shouldn't make a big deal of it. So he didn't, though some hesitation still remained in the matters of the arcane.<br/><br/>Then there was the woman who had accompanied Adrian. At first glance, he had felt something unmistakenable and magnetic about her that pulled at his pantstrings, but a moment later he had noticed her enormous bosom, and that had put an end to that. He enjoyed them at a decent size, but that just seemed... exaggerated. Over the top. Strange. He wondered if there had been magic involved in increasing her bust, and the micro-expression of a scowl passed over his face at the shame of it. If she had not had such strangely enormous breasts, he would have definitely been interested in her, and he could still feel some part of him wanting her, but the strangeness of those gigantic tits turned him off almost entirely. Not to mention her wardrobe--or lack of it, rather. There was classy, and then there was the dressiness of a harlot, and she seemed to favor the latter strongly, another thing that left him with a distinct lack of attraction. She could have been so amazing had her proportions and clothing been appropriate, but unfortunately that wasn't the case, and it didn't appear to be changing any time soon.<br/><br/>He listened to the others flirt, and turned to look at Sim as she spoke, his gaze passing over her for a moment as she joined in with the playfulness between them. While she was homely compared to the animal magnetism exuded by the one called Shezzerade, he found her far more attractive with her more normal proportions and deep red hair, a color he favored in women, followed closely by brunettes. Still, it was strange to hear so many people flirt so openly like this, and he wondered how they had been brought up to act this way--or perhaps it was simply the city way. He was no stranger to bedding, but it was not something displayed openly like a banner. Things had their time and place, and the place of these things was usually behind a locked door under the cover of night. Still, he supposed, being open-minded could be a good thing, and he might learn a thing or two from them.<br/><br/>""A mace will work just as well,"" he answered Wren. ""Though if we have to take the time to place them well and hammer them into place, we probably won't live long enough to tell of the tale while our energy is being sucked out of us,"" he said dourly, taking his portion of the potions as well. At Adrian's words, he nods and hefts his mace. ""In that case, I suggest Wren and I join you. From my understanding, she has some skill with the blade. I shall focus upon ensuring the necromancer casts no spells and does not escape while providing support... though you may wish to switch to a sap if we want to knock them out, rather than killing them immediately,"" he adds, having been around enough rogues and thieves to recognize their strength, and her abilities.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">OOC</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Slight metagaming here to assume Wren's abilities for sneak attacks, but I figure sneak attacking is so common in the world that it wouldn't be hard to figure out that that's what she specializes in.

Shezzerade assumed it was farce given the way Adrain neglected to introduce her like the others and the way Sim snubbed her round of introductions and seemed to missed her cover story as well, but those eyes that followed Shezzerade's every curve and that all too familiar look of a night well spent now seemed to tell a different story perhaps she was just distracted? No matter. Her body was far more interesting on a number of levels. For once it was the buxom succubus wondering if magic had been involved in the creation of someone's figure.<br/><br/>The other new blip on radar however, was, well not quite troublesome yet. That air of self-righteous and constant anti-social scowl suggested either a brigand or a some sort of vaguely religious sort. Yet his didn't one seem to have that same spark of intelligence that came with the city. His barely contained bewilderment suggested perhaps a villager. Was he was a bumpkin priest? Perhaps that would explain the distasteful look he was giving her. He certainly stared at her chest alright, but his body language was an open book to her. With a bounce and heave of her tremendous bosom he seemed frightened or perhaps it upset his preferences? Ah, bumpkin it was. Likely some backwater where the people are as plain as the wine. She'll have to take note of this in future. Adjusting can always be be made to her altered shape. Knowing when to garner attention when not to is what a separates the professionals and the dead after all.<br/><br/>Looking over her nails while the group spoke of plans she felt the need to speak up ""I believe I should make this clear before we head in.

You couldn't eat it, it was too soft to be made into a weapon or to be made into a tool, and if you were trapped somewhere, you'd take food and water over gold. But it was never, ever worth the lives of innocents, and only a monster would make that trade. Perhaps it had been a slip of the tongue for her, or a callous nature and unrefined 'joke' that she had made... But honestly, some things should never be joked about lest they become a possibility to be accepted rather than something to abhor. He looked at her in a new light. She bore watching--perhaps the Red Wizards did have a foothold here, and she was among them, able to say that so easily. A gauntleted hand, already a fist, tightened a little more as he considered the possibility.

Dressed as she had been? Making those kinds of jokes? Risking others' children when she should identify with them? Dale didn't care for her words, not because they might be truth or lies, but because they were excuses. Despite that though, he nodded. ""As long as you understand, I accept your apology. But care with your words, woman, and control your mouth,"" he says, about to sit back down, a little mollified. As her hand goes for his ear his eyes widen and he bats her hand away with the back of his metal gauntlet, not caring too much about whether it stung or not.<br/><br/>""I never said I was an example to others,"" he says calmly. ""I am that I am. A man, like any other, trying to do what he can to get by and do the right things in life. We all choose our own roads, and some are more difficult than others. But in my journies, I have found that the more difficult ones, while often tougher and harder to forge, are at the end of them far more rewarding than the instant gratifications and simple pleasures others try to take at the drop of a hat."" He looks down at his gauntleted hands for a moment, remembering the callouses and scars that lace them. ""I have helped erect houses where there were once only clearings. I have stood between ogres and townsfolk. I have met the undead with sword, shield, and chain at the edge of a village. I have sweat and bled for people I had only ever met once,"" he explains, the words resounding with an almost holy power through the room, his voice steady and sure.<br/><br/>""And while I may not have enjoyed the pleasures of the flesh as often as others have, considering their form of dress before,"" he raises an eyebrow at her, ""I have had the pleasure of a babe's laugh in his mother's arms when he was still protected and sheltered from the world, the sight of a family around the table having invited me to join them in their newly-built home, and the thanks of a man with his wife standing behind them when without me they would have been both eaten. It is a satisfying experience, and if you have not yet felt it, I hope you some day receive the opportunity. For all the times I've slept with a woman, not once did the pleasure outweigh that of the satisfaction I received from helping those people.""<br/><br/>He looked straight at her once more, his gaze penetrating with its solemnity and power. He was no paladin, surely, but he was the closest thing to it, and even now the gods might look through his eyes. ""And if you try to patronize me again, you and I will have words. And more, if necessary. Do you understand?"" he asks, no intimidation or threat in his voice, simply a calm determination as he sits down again, almost as though he were a rock against the tide of her words, anchored and unyielding."

At least long as spell lasts anyway.<br/><br/>While concentrating on spell and sensations from familiar, he looks on Dale as he goes to preachy mode and once he finishes he asks; ""I do not see what church you follow sir Dale, so what god you follow?

She temped with flesh they turned tier eyes for the most part and remained focused despite her generous offer. Even minor contact such a hug was refused. Clearly they can stay focused while under pressure,  Perhaps the region disliked women? Either way the tradition of showing flesh in ordinance with one confidence in their magical abilities didn't seem apparent to them maybe it just wasn't part of the local culture. Overall they just seemed like a suspicious lot. Perhaps Adrian warned them of her ahead of time?<br/><br/>They certainly didn't hide their reactions well which told her much about how they felt. Time and again she's been pressing buttons gauging reactions. She'll have to find a better setting to really, be sure, but one thing became certain, trying to make an emotional appeal seemed pointless on this lot. True she hadn't quite twisted the knife,  and left her answers insufficient without further digging, but normally just bringing up children and motherhood alone is enough to soften an expression. Drag up emotions first and questions second. It actually seem to be the opposite. Perhaps they're not quite good group of do-gooders she suspected at first?<br/><br/>The priest in particulular was an easy target. Neither words, nor emotions could pierce that skull of his. Shezzerade found her motherly quite act normally spoke volumes and here was no different a little tug of the ear, a quite scolding usually enough to play upon on memories of punishments for youthful indiscretions. Even orphans raised in proper care had one figure to scold them, but this priest must have been raised by wolves. One would think the proper response in that situation would be to apologize even in the wrong, but instead he thumped his chest and went on a long winded rant about supposed humanitarian works that likely never happened  and assaulted her. Ahaha it was hilarious! She must have struck a serious nerve to make someone act against everything socialization seems to teach, Unless he really was quite mad.

So it was entirely likely that Adrian and Shezeerade simply had not noticed her when the introductions were made, after all her only greeting at been a silent nod. She certainly wasn't attempting to make anyone feel snubbed, especially any new arrivals to group. The first time she really made her presence known was the playful remark towards Wren regarding the pinching of the Swashbuckler's wonderful rear end.<br/><br/>She really did seem to lose herself during the Scrying, standing to the side while leaning forward slightly. Once the Scrying had concluded she would proceed to move towards the crate, reaching in to grab herself a wooden stake and flask of holy water. An empty chair at one of the ends of the long table was then selected, her haversack and crossbow being freed from her shoulders to rest under the table(after the flask and stake were placed within the haversack) in front of her. She would turn the chair to face the others as she got comfortable, those long legs once again crossing as they always seemed to have done in these meetings.<br/><br/>She did not say much, she was about to object to the Teleportation plan when Adrain offered an alternate that was less risky. Sim mostly preferred to watch and listen, after all it was much easier to observe when people forgot you were there. Her eyes kept being drawn to the new to-heavy woman as she offered subtle hints about her skills and abilities. She couldn't help but quirk a brow at some of the claims, which really only seemed to raise questions rather than answer them. She kept her questions to herself though, taking it as a challenge to find the answers, she loved secrets. Already her mind was making guesses and outlining possibilities.<br/><br/>She too wondered if any magical enchantments had be used on those almost comically huge breasts. As far as her favored persona's fairly large breasts were concerned, she was rather fond of them and thought they were an exquisite example of naturally grown perfection. She couldn't help but ponder a question; why someone would attend this type of meeting wearing nothing but an outfit that seemed to consist of string and scraps of cloth. Though she did certainly agree with the top heavy woman's views on violence. Of course as she wondered and pondered, she was sure not too allow her gaze to linger upon Shezeerade too much.<br/><br/>Though as the conversation continued between them all, she did not let her internal ponderings distract her from absorbing all the information that was being offered. While she could have cast Invisibility upon Adrian's new helper, it was one of the spells that she depended upon the most and always made sure to prepare at least once. She was just about to reluctantly open her mouth with the offer when Wren made the suggestion to consult the Watch. Wait...did Wren not know Sim was also a wizard? Thyriellentha's remark only echoing her own increasing curiosity regarding the overly top heavy woman's hinted abilities. Though it was entirely possible that illusion was one of Shezeerade's opposed schools, that is of course assuming the woman is a wizard. The next surprise(and yet another raised question) came with the transformation of the string lingerie into a red robe. The woman seemed to possess a similar item as her Vestments of Many Styles.<br/><br/>She almost sighed externally as Shezeerade's report was given with so little information provided, it really did seem she was only spending the least effort she could get away with. And now wanting to leave for a bath in the middle of a planning meeting? Where did Adrian find this chick? It was a struggle not to allow her bewilderment not to show on her face and in her body language, anyone else would be face-palming. She couldn't help but nod in agreement to Wren's harsh words. It then seemed as if a fight would break out as Shezeerade proceeded to attempt to treat Dale as a child only to get a justified reaction from the armored Crusader. Yet the top-heavy woman raised even more questions about herself by referencing being a mother of three. She doubted the woman carried much about dignity when dressing in such revealing string lingerie, though her being a mother was rather convincing.<br/><br/>The beautiful investigator simply shook her head at Serge's question<strong>""Necromancy is one of the schools I chose to neglect studying in order to specialize more heavily on others""</strong>She couldn't help but grin at Serge's flirting, always the lady's man. She was actually relieved when Shezeerade left the meeting, glad to be getting a break from the distraction the woman provided while seeming to be quite the amateur. She wasn't sure what to make of the top heavy mother, so many questions raised by the way Shezeerade seemed to always avoid giving a clear answer. She offered Wren a wide appreciative smile while nodding in agreement.<br/><br/>Shifting her attention to Aldros, her voice was once again heard<strong>""While that is a good suggestion, it may not be needed depending on what Adrain's familiar finds""</strong><br/><br/>"

The family's patriarch has died, leaving his sister Circe in charge (rather than his wife) until his son Myklos is 16. The boy is currently 15 and sources claim that he is beginning to resent his aunt's rule. This family is considered to be low risk for the time being.<br/>The Cassalanter noble family are ethnically Tethyrian, primarily follow the goddess Waukeen, were granted nobility by the Lords in 1248 DR, and made their fortune in baking and moneylending. Despite some of their family members (Myrna, et al.) making more coin from rumor-mongering and information brokering than banking, the family is considered low risk. Myrna is still considered a reliable source of information on the goings-on of many noble families, and is responsible for a great deal of the information in this book.<br/>The Eltorchul noble family are ethnically Tethyrian, primarily follow the goddess Mystra, were granted nobility by the Lords in 1167 DR, and made their fortune in magical research. They have also recently opened a magical academy, Eltorchul Academy, in their family villa. Financially, they are not as well equipped as other noble families, but their magical resources (both items and students) are considerable. They maintain positive relations with the City Watch, City Guard, and Watchful Order, and their students are among those who should be vetted and recruited into the city's defenses. Due to their magical firepower, should they use it for antisocial purposes, they are considered moderate risk, though they have given no indication of any plans to do so.<br/>The Tchazzam noble family are ethnically Tethyrian, primarily follow the goddess Mielikki, were granted nobility by the Lords in 1149 DR, and made their fortune as bowyers, fletchers, and suppliers of wild game. There have long been suspicions of lycanthropy in the family, though no obvious worship of either Malar or Selune make those suspicions all the more difficult to confirm. The family has never been a problem, so if lycanthropy runs through the family, they are handling it well enough to not be a problem. This family is considered low risk in the long term.<br/>The Urmbrusk noble family are ethnically Illuskan, were granted nobility by the Lords in 1254 DR, and made their fortune as moneylenders and landowners. The City Watch is not entirely certain which deity they predominantly follow, if any. There are suspicions of Bane worship, but since Bane is currently deceased according to priests of other faiths, it is not conclusive whether this poses a real threat to the city or not. Their main stable source of income is as landowners outside the city, contracting sharecroppers to farm the land and owning low-rent housing for the villagers in the surrounding villages around the city walls. This family is considered low risk, but bears observing for the future.<br/>The Zulpair noble family are ethnically Tethyrian, primarily follow the goddess Umberlee, were granted nobility by the Lords in 1310 DR, and made their fortune in merchant shipping. Despite the worship of a notably evil deity, the family seems to obey the laws of the city, at least within the city itself. Their reliability as merchant shippers could owe itself in large part to their service of Umberlee due to their lack of problems with weather and rough seas. They frequent the shrine of Umberlee at the Plinth and have been known to ship offerings and attend services north in Luskan at the temple to Umberlee. We recommend leaving them alone for now, as whatever they are doing appears to be working well for them and for the city. Their connection and travel to Luskan is undesirable, but preferable to the construction of a temple to the Bitch Queen here in Waterdeep."

Guardsmen with skill and training in reading emotions, detecting lies, judging body language - guards who can look at a noble who refuses the generous gift of additional swords and can estimate why they are refusing.

They're not slavers, but they have been known to sell illegal substances and to sell legal, taxable goods under the table to avoid paying the city's tax on them.<br/>Eltorchul: Anton doesn't know anything new about the Eltorchul family.<br/>Tchazzam: The Tchazzam family has no trouble bringing in game, though not all of it appears to have been killed by arrows. Some of it seems to have been killed by hunting dogs or by a broken neck. Curious, that.<br/>Urmbrusk: ""Landowners and moneylenders"" may be putting it in too benevolent a light. Slavery is illegal in Waterdeep, but the Urmbrusks have a habit of pushing legal limits on such things, and sharecropping can begin to resemble slavery when the farmers are given enough to live on, but not enough of the profits to improve their lot in life. And as for moneylending, they have a habit of targeting failing businesses with loans, having the owners sign away their business as collateral, and then when the business inevitably fails, they take possession of the business and begin running it at a profit again. Dirty bastards.<br/>Zulpair: Don't get on the Zulpairs' bad side or they may make a more generous offering to Umberlee than a handful of gold coins. That is, they'll toss you overboard on their way out of the harbor, in an area known as Umberlee's Cache, the entrance to a series of large underwater caves in Waterdeep Harbor.<br/><br/>The Watch liason looks at Aldros for a moment, then nods.<strong>""That is a possibility.

(Apparently the Cellarers' and Plumbers' Guild didn't want their workers to have to carry more tools with them to perform a repair job. The downside is that anyone can get into the sewers with no special equipment.) When the manhole is lifted, the most easily noticeable smells are mold and mildew, not feces, since the sewers also serve as the storm drain system of Waterdeep, and poo is actually put into the sewer in smaller quantities than rain water, laundry water, or in some areas, waste water from tanneries. The dark, damp atmosphere, however, does make for the perfect breeding ground for molds and mildews.<br/><br/>As lights are lit, the shape and design of the sewers become apparent. This particular pipe is a more or less rectangular tube, twenty feet wide with eight foot high ceilings. It's got a five foot wide walkway on either side with a ten foot square-cross-sectioned 'ditch' in the middle, a lowered area running the length of the tube where a stream of waste water is currently running. They are designed so that a team of sewer workers could walk single-file down each of the sides without getting soaked and filthy during normal sewer operation, and that in an especially heavy storm when the sewers are flooded with rain water, the upper portion of the sewers would provide space for the extra water to flow through. As it is, there is room for two single-file lines of adventurers to walk with a ten foot gap in between the two lines.<br/><br/>Down in the sewers, the group notices that they appear to be in fairly standard condition, similar to the sewers they traveled through in the poorer parts of the city. This time, though, they notice that the temperature in the sewers is noticeably colder than it was in the Docks Ward sewers.

It is the seat of political power of the United States, and is the part-time home of arguably the most influential people in the world. In March 2012, early in an election year, the city is abuzz with political slogans calling for supporting the incumbent, ousting the incumbent, and for various types of perceived reform. On March 13, 2012, a week past ""Super Tuesday"", with the Middle East erupting in multiple crises and the Occupy Movement forcibly shut down by police interference and abuse in the last of its protest cities, the atmosphere in DC is a strange mix of frustrated rage, desparation, and despair, with only a glimmer of hope, though no two people agree entirely on the source of the problem or the exact solution.<br/><br/>There is a feeling in the air that is difficult for the citizens of DC to describe, and each will interpret it differently. The paradigm must shift or<em>be</em>shifted. The current business model is unsustainable. The makers must put the moocher class back in their place. The proletariat uprising must begin against those who exploit the masses. The people must be made more free. The people must be controlled more tightly.<br/><br/>The Kindred in the DC area have picked up on this tension in the air, this sense that a quiet, perhaps futile struggle could erupt once again into the chaos and bloodshed that has marked the city's history. The Prince, Marcus Vitel, a proud Ventrue, has reigned over the city for 44 years, since the 1968 assassination of Prince and Tremere Pontifex Marissa at the hands of the Giovanni, who remain under a Blood Hunt to this day. Vitel's reign has been described as ""harsh, but fair"" by more than one Kindred, as he is loyal and quick to reward those who serve him well, but swift and final with his punishment of those who act against him.<br/><br/>DC itself had fallen into disrepair in the decades after Marissa's Final Death, with the Sabbat hunting kine in the Southeast corner of the city and the Followers of Set influencing drug markets throughout the city. However, with a combination of Camarilla efforts to drive out the Sabbat gangs and a crackdown of DC police departments, the city was made safer for both Kindred and kine. With the commencement of the War on Terror, security was raised and police redoubled their efforts to crackdown on crime (at the expense of freedom, many would claim).<br/><br/>Washington, DC, is now home to Camarilla Kindred numbering in the low hundreds, perhaps a few Anarchs, a werewolf caern, and around 632,000 kine, and every one of them can feel something that they can't quite verbalize, that manifests differently for each of them, but the core of which is simple: change is coming.<br/><hr/><strong><em>9:45 PM, Tuesday, March 13, 2012 - Washington D.C., John F.

It is a cultural center, and the busiest performing arts facility in the United States, hosting nearly two thousand exhibitions annually. Tonight, though, a sign posted at the roped-off main entrance reads<strong>CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE</strong>and no performances are scheduled. The majority of the building's exterior is dimly lit and standing guard at the main entrance, on either side of the roped-off doors, are two large men in black suits, recognizable as Vitel's men.<br/><br/><div align=""center"">(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Kennedy_center_at_night.jpg/640px-Kennedy_center_at_night.jpg)</div><br/>The weather had threatened to rain all day, but the most that had fallen was a light drizzle which has long since ceased. The waning gibbous moon occasionally peeks through the clouds, but the evening promises to remain heavily overcast, though the breeze has at least died down.<br/><br/>Vehicles of all sorts begin arriving at the Kennedy Center. Among them are several limousines, fully-outfitted black SUVs, expensive foreign cars, at least a dozen motorcycles, and one green VW bus. The men and women step out of them and head into the Kennedy Center for the night's Elysium, most not taking the time to greet each other, at least not until they were inside."

Richter, Tremere apprentice and Neonate, had been called to Elysium. If rumors were to be believed, it was to be a large one, so many would attend. In order to make the most of it, he had already cleaned and dressed himself for the occasion before retiring the night before - one of the more subtle advantages of Kindred existence, the lack of sweat and tendency to muss one's hair while sleeping, so he looked as pristine as he ever did.<br/><br/>And while he didn't make a habit of feeding from the woman currently standing to his front, his personal ghoul retainer by the name of Katherine Tremaine, Sebastian had full intentions of availing himself tonight. Though he was by no means malnourished, the vampire wanted to be at his best and had no intentions of wasting his time with a hunt this evening.<br/><br/>""You know why I asked you to come,"" he said, though it had never been a request, the intent clear as he opened his arms and forced a wan smile upon his lips.<br/><br/>She swallowed heavily, doing the same, and bared her neck for her vampiric domitor.

Katherine locked the vehicle, only for her domitor to quickly approach her in two steps and hand her his cellphone, a set of keys and his purse.<br/><br/>The cellphone was empy of contacts, of course, but it would serve as a means to contact him in an emergency while his ghoul held onto it outside of the restricted area.<br/><br/>""You remember where to go, I trust?"" he asserted, not really expecting an answer as he headed towards the entrance, with the aid of his walking cane.<br/><br/>After a brief exchange with Vitel's guards, he continued onwards, towards the halls of Elysium."

Every night he got up and it returned with the same regularity as always. It was there, a constant reminder that he wasn't quite... right. Well, that was a given. He<em>was</em>a vampire, after all. Every night he woke with the same hunger, the kind that made his teeth itch, especially the canines towards the sides of his mouth yet still prominent and visible when he gave the Kiss to one of the kine. His tiny apartment was bare of any sort of decorations, and could almost be thought of as entirely barren of anyone living there--or undead there. The only sign of change from when he had first gotten it, just weeks ago, was the heavy black duct tape that plastered the only window through which only more buildings could be seen.<br/><br/>He knew he was living on borrowed money--and perhaps even borrowed time, by all accounts. Prince Marcus Vitel had been kind enough to provide him a place to sleep, if little else. The apartment building was in one of the worst parts of DC, though that meant that the rent was relatively low. But that was only what he could expect, far as he was from the top of the totem pole. Even worse--he might very well be completely off those hallowed rungs, of no consequence to any of the kindred within the city.<br/><br/>He had accompanied the Sheriff on a few missions, along with the other agents. ""Agents"" they liked to call themselves, but Barir held nothing but content for them. They treated the work as though it were a game, as though they were invincible simply because they were a little more organized than the rabble they hounded, the Sabbat packs that hunted in the night. Given a few of the Brothers and he could topple this whole city...<br/><br/>No, that wasn't right. He pushed that thought out of his head. There was nothing towards those thoughts but the past, he would rather forget that as quickly as time had flown. He recalled dirty sewers and other hide-outs he had been forced to use when he had flown from the knives and swords that had hunted him in the night. There was yet hope that under the Prince's protection he would somehow find a way to stop running. Maybe.<br/><br/>With a groan he roused himself from the dirty bed, and staggered into the tiny bathroom that held both his shower and toilet. Carefully he shaved the stubble from around his goatee, making sure to be presentable. The Sheriff had said that he was going to serve as part of the security detail for tonight's Elysium. It was the first time that he would be there, see the kindred formally. Trepidation and anticipation mixed in his stomach and he dialed the hot water on to full, waited a few moments for steam to fill the tiny room and stepped beneath the showerhead.<br/><br/>It felt good to be clean. Every night he thanked whoever might be listening for the luxury of hot water, almost scalding even his own toughened skin. It felt good to be clean, to wipe away the night's blood sweat which sometimes accompanied the nightmares he still had of the flight from his former clan. A time passed as he soaped himself and let the water rush down his body before he stepped out and readied himself for the night. Toiletries used and replaced back behind the mirror that served as a small cupboard, he padded softly to the single piece of furniture within the tiny room, a small closet that kept his scant possessions.<br/><br/>The first thing that caught his sight, as it always did, was piled robes in the corner. He felt another pang as he noticed from the umpteenth time how caked and dirty they were. He really should take them with him next time he did laundry... but for some reason he always forgot right before doing so. Anger rose within him at himself but instead of acting out he slowly retrieved the one piece of formal attire within, a suit of linen and cotton. The Sheriff had gotten it for him, a ""gift"" so he might fit in. Barir knew that such gifts carried a price, and wondered how he would have to pay for it.<br/><br/>A longing glance was given to the tiny semi-automatic within a holster meant to be worn beneath the armpit--another ""gift"", as well as the long object which might easily be mistaken for a mop end by most people, but was in fact a cleverly-hidden sword, though most who were expecting such things would immediately know what it was. This last had been a present from his past, and was the only thing he carried with him apart from the robes in the closet from those days. The holster went around his body, hidden beneath his jacket, while the buckle hung from his belt. It wasn't as clumsy or random as the gun, a more elegant weapon for a more archaic age, and it had served him well and he far preferred its use.<br/><br/>He quickly left his apartment, confirming that he was on time. It was a long trip to by taxi to the Kennedy Center, but he had given himself ample time to reach it and arrived before the planned time. He made a round, keeping his eyes moving, searching for anything that might be amiss, or anyone who might not fit there--but no, he was alone as of yet.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>It was some time before guests of the Elysium began to arrive, and within it they would find him, one of the men in dark suits who enforced peace and maintained the security cordon to ensure that none were harmed or did violence. Motionless apart from his eyes, he scanned the crowd, sometimes moving to gaze into the night to make sure that no uninvited guests made an appearance in the form of a pipe bomb or incendiary grenade by some Sabbat flunky meant to destroy the governing body of of the Camarilla of Washington DC in one fell swoop."

The coat and pants were midnight black, while the shirt was crimson as if washed in fresh blood. When he saw the tremere in like dress, he didn't consider it entirely gauche. It was a common enough cliche among the kindred to wear such obvious colors. This was the real test. He'd been viewed with plenty of suspicion since his arrival into the city but tonight he would have to do the proper thing as demanded and introduce himself to the Prince. He had rehearsed, as one did, his speech and had brought along gifts which he left at the door. It would hardly do to bring firearms into Elysium.<br/><br/>They searched him twice, which he had gotten used to. He was on the approved list, having painstakingly made it known that he wished to observe the ancient traditions, but he was new. He was an unknown factor. In due course he entered and was simply amazed at the number held within. It was astonishing how this many could hide in the nation's capital, with no one the wiser. Where he had been before it was nearly impossible to find a primogen of each clan to come together and meet, this was on such a scale that he felt himself almost small; which was saying something at over seven feet. The sheer variety of it baffled him, there was every sort of person here. They were colored and colorless, small and large, and they ran the gamut from breathtakingly beautiful to something he'd be afraid to breathe near. This was not the old world, and it almost frightened him.<br/><br/>Deitrich stuck near the wall, not quite on it but near enough that he could put his back to it and walked a circuit of a fair portion of the room, taking in the sights before he would venture into socialization should there be a candidate in his own stratum. He didn't want to accidentally wind up talking to someone so far above his station that the harpy, whip, or whomever would take him outside and thus invalidate him. He was following the rules, and as such couldn't be overtly harmed. It was the sort of thing that he did his best to avoid at all times, being at such a disadvantage, but the enforced neutrality of Elysium would hold, he hoped."

He had seen her take down creatures even he would have had trouble with in the blink of an eye, and he respected her. They weren't friends--he didn't know if they could be, he being her subordinate.

""No sign of any tampering with the location from what I could tell, or its extremities. Hopefully the other men did another walk-around when they arrived as well."" He dared not meet her eye, making all attempts to simply convey the information as swiftly as possible with as little time wasted as could be done. A movement past her caught his attention and he turned to gaze beyond. A beat passed--it had been nothing--but now his gaze fell on her. His breath caught in his throat as another awkward moment went by, and he was certain that had he a heartbeat to speak of it would have quickened in panic.<br/><br/>The silence lasted for just another moment, just becoming uncomfortable before he found the words. ""If anything happens, just follow protocol."" The words came matter-of-factly with barely any discernable emotions as though he were quoting from a book. ""Neutralize threats, eschew the use of firearms or loud noises if possible, then lead the guests out in an orderly manner towards the exits.""

In his past life, his mortal life, he had often come to the Kennedy Center to immerse himself in the symphony or indulge in the opera. The feel of the plush red carpet under his feet as he strolled through the Hall of Nations had always instilled in him a sense of reverence. Norman was a skilled violinist, though never at a professional level. Skilled enough to appreciate the virtuosos of the world, at least, even if he would never join their ranks. His own talents fell into other areas.<br/><br/>Ten years ago, though, even the simple pleasure of attending a concert had been stripped away from him, along with so much more. As he walked into the Golden Circles lounge his face froze into a mask in more than one sense. Except for the cluster of his own clan, predictably in the darkest corner, he despised these people. What had they lost when they had turned? The light of the sun, true, but what else? They were beautiful, all of them, according to the tastes of their sires. Monsters they might be, but only he and his kind wore their beasts openly. The Nosferatu had no place in the society of kine, day or night, and never would.<br/><br/>He still attended concerts here. The enormous building was riddled with maintenance tunnels that lent their particular acoustics to the experience. If he could not see the stage, he could still, at least, appreciate the music. He had even attended the Phantom of the Opera once, indulging himself in the sick irony.<br/><br/>Norman was tall, though not strikingly. Thin, but not rail-like. Well dressed in a modern gray herringbone suit and white shirt, eschewing the fashion for blacks and reds. He dressed like a well-to-do human, in fact, although the hideously melted pale flesh of his face would never again allow him to walk in their company. He carried in his breast pocket a bundle of ridiculous parchment envelopes with wax seals.<br/><br/>In ten years he had built a profitable business upon the remains of what his sire had left him, providing an interface to the modern world to those kindred who considered themselves above the grubby modern business of networks and databases. In particular he catered to those, like his now absent sire, who secretly feared their inability to comprehend the complexities of the modern world. Norman represented a safe, harmless way for them to access the greater world without leaving their comfort zones. Hence the envelopes, containing laboriously hand-written results of web searches, electronic investigations, hidden financial reports -- anything he could access through the Internet, put into digestible form for those who might choke on a printout and who wouldn't have the foggiest idea of what to do with a flash drive.<br/><br/>He loathed these people as much as he depended on them. They were his society of necessity, not choice. With a servile smile fixed upon his face he began his rounds.<br/><br/>Still, the music was nice.<br/>"

That was the sort of behavior that attracted attention rather than deflected it. Norman didn't mind attention, he just preferred that none of it stuck for long. Keep moving, keep talking, exchange pleasantries with everyone and watch the space behind their eyes to see whether their revulsion went straight to the core or was merely a more natural first reaction. In his old life he had financial security, challenging work and the respect of his peers. It had taken him ten years as a vampire to earn even a third of that.<br/><br/>When the woman approached, then, he quickly took stock and prepared the usual inane babble. He didn't recognize her, though she was astonishingly attractive. The tint of her cheeks made him suspect her a ghoul, though a quick look around showed no particular other vampires taking an interest in her. If she had been sent as a probe then she was, for the moment, working alone.<br/><br/><em>Excuse me, this is my first time at Elysium and heard of the Nosferatu Clan not having the honor of meeting any yet and am curious and thought meeting one would be sensible. But if your busy with affairs of the city I understand and forgive my intrusion. I'm Altagracia.</em><br/><br/>Her voice matched her countenance, even surpassing it. He wondered idly if she could sing. None of his herd had the talent.<br/><br/>Norman took her hand, shaking it and then holding for a moment before release. He had never been one for the vampiric affectation of kissing a lady's knuckles. ""Norman Black, and I see you have cleverly guessed my clan. There's no particular honor in meeting my kind; we don't stand on ceremony nearly as much as some of the others. Are you new in town? I like to make it a practice to meet new arrivals, when I can.""

Her boots make no sound on the short, firm carpet, and as she walks by him, he can see that she's got a horizontal sheath on her belt, containing a large knife. From Barir's point of view, that appears to be the only weapon on her. From what Barir knows about her in their short time working together, he wouldn't be surprised if she were only armed with a large tactical knife, and that she'd still be one of the most deadly Kindred in the room armed with only that knife.<br/><br/>Barir notices a man walking into the room who has the distinct smell of pot smoke about him, and he's wearing a long, black wool coat over a tie-dye T-shirt, very worn blue jeans, and old, scuffed boots. He takes off a pair of rose-colored glasses and hangs them on the collar of his shirt and takes a look at Barir.<strong>""Art Morgan, friend. Don't think I've seen you around before.

Peeking out from his collar, Barir can see thick, brown fur, and when he glances at Art's eyes, they are yellow and wolf-like, leaving no doubt as to this Kindred's clan.<br/><br/>Helena Taylor and Ingrid enter the room, both wearing elegant dresses. Helena appears to be in her early twenties, and she is wearing a black, form-fitting dress. Her dark brown hair is down around her shoulders and with her heels on, she stands at an even six feet tall.<strong>""Ingrid, dear, feel free to mingle and enjoy yourself. I am due at the Harpies' table.""</strong>With that, she heads toward the center of the room, where the Harpies' table stands. As she's walking, she draws a few whistles and cat-calls from the group of bikers inhabiting one corner. She gracefully returns their attention with a wave and a warm smile before taking her seat with Monica Black, Cynthia Black, and Cassandra. She joins their conversation almost instantly and the four women begin chatting, only occasionally turning to see if someone new has entered Elysium."

It was a practiced look and he pulled it off well, but there was always something in this sort of society when you had to approach people with the power to have you destroyed with a word.<br/><br/>Thankfully, the beauty of these women was the least of his concerns. The room's inhabitants had many such a pleasing frame, though they were certainly no slouches. With the exception of the nosferatu corner you couldn't throw a rock without hitting one or two people whose beauty would cause the everyday public to stop in the street, it was desensitizing even in the brief time he'd been here in their presence. His hands did not fidget, in fact his stillness would be almost unnatural in living company. The urge to breathe if only to exhale slowly almost took him.

He had no intentions of making a scene, instead only staring at him for a moment with a raised brow, then turned his attention to the young woman.<br/><br/>""Of course,"" he replied with a slight nod. Perhaps he had already been aware of her identity, or did not particularly mind the revelation, but his expression actually looked a little more genuinely pleased than before. Whether that was a comfort or only more unsettling was a matter for the observer, but he simply continued to speak: ""The enterprising club owner. I believe we haven't had the pleasure of a personal meeting before, my dear, so allow me to return the favor. Sebastian D. Richter.""

Given his present circumstance he imagined the visible effect must be similar to hanging a pair of Monets on the wall of an outhouse. Yet in the present hierarchy he knew that all three of them, despite disparate appearances, shared a place near the bottom of the heap. Of such tenuous connections alliances could be forged. The room, indeed the city was full of sharks. It made sense for the smaller fish to swim together.<br/><br/>He smiled, parting his lips only slightly to reveal a glimpse of eversharp, inhuman teeth.

""Of course. Haven't been to Elysium before. You must be a ... regular here?"" Barir ventures, cursing himself for his un-surety in the matter. He clears his throat slowly before continuing, ""My name is Barir bin Yasha, and yes, only a few weeks. The Prince has agreed to give me sanctuary in his domain for a time, as well as a place to sleep and some work,"" he says innocently, unaware of just how much information he is giving out with the words, and how they might be used against him or the Prince. Especially ""sanctuary""--perhaps Barir had something to hide, or perhaps it might be simply his strange use of the language, a faint Middle-Eastern accent tinged with that of Britain emerging as he answered the Gangrel.<br/><br/>""As of then, I've been for the most part working with Sheriff Reyes on a few problems the Prince is having within the territory. You know, mostly Sabbat packs that sometimes invade the South- and North-Eastern parts of D.C., but there were a few... other incidents. Sorry, I'd probably get in trouble if I went into more details,"" he continues, his demeanor tightening at the last part, brooking almost no argument of spilling the beans on precisely what those ""incidents"" are. Still, he had unknowingly given away more information than he had meant to, obviously--or perhaps he was a more skilled liar than he appeared, and had let be known what the Prince had wanted him to say. Who could tell now? Regardless, he looked at the man closer and asked, ""And... who might you be?"""

Eyes turned to slits as Barir studied the man; was he here to attempt to bind Barir to his will? He knew of the curse long-placed upon those who had once been his clan, and though he was one of them no longer, he could not refrain from expressing the revulsion mixed with fear at the man. His very presence was an insult to everything Barir had ever known, and though he was trying to learn of new things and break free of the past, old habits died hard. Desperate thoughts ran through his head trying their best to escape his head and run free, but they were as trapped as Barir himself was in this hall that suddenly seemed all too small.<br/><br/>He had known, of course, logically, that he would eventually meet one of the blood mages. His past clan had them, but they were... controlled. Kept under a tight enough leash and watched by each other and others too to ensure their loyalty and work towards the good of the clan. Power warped those who wielded it, and he had heard of tales where warlocks went mad with power and used their magics to craft harm that would befall dozens, hundreds, even thousands of people with a single gesture. His gut, long-dead and now empty of anything that could be used as fuel to vomit churned despite itself, and as the world swam before his eyes for but a moment he could feel The Beast rise angrily.<br/><br/>It was always there, for<em>all</em>Kindred. Just waiting to be let out, howling at the world to be loosened and allowed to tear apart anything and everything that threatened to harm them. It promised safety and power all at the same time, a siren's call that promised nothing could ever hurt you if you just let it slip loose and run free. It would tear apart this upstart mage, destroy him where he stood before he could work any of his magic. It howled for blood, for vengeance against his whole former clan, and at the same time the chill of the blood madness ran through him, causing him to shiver in the space of but a moment uncontrollably. He chewed at his tongue within his mouth, letting it run painfully over his canines and molars, and the Beast within him howled more strongly.<br/><br/>A swallow as his vision tinged with red, and he could feel the sensation of all-consuming rage that gripped him when he lost himself to it. Fear tightened its grip on his heart and he wanted to breathe despite not needing the air, yet couldn't. The world felt so small as though he were but a pinprick within existence, only he and his... target there. A finger touched the hilt of the sword at his side, his only friend here in this gathering of monsters. He judged the distance between them. With his speed and strength he could easily remove it from its sheathe and in one clean motion dismember Richter's body from his head. The urge was so appealing... just give in... do it now... but then a memory flashed before his eyes; the Sheriff and he fighting back to back against the seeming horde of a Sabbat pack in a dirty corner of DC where few of these elite monsters had probably ever heard of, much less been.<br/><br/>He couldn't do it. He had to stay strong, to be the master of the Beast. He couldn't shame her, or the Prince who had been so kind as to give him a place to stay where he had been on the run for what had felt like ages. He slowed the breathing that had started despite the lack of intention for his lungs to work and he desperately pushed the Beast back down. It was a hard fight, and every iota of him had to be marshaled, turned inward, and controlled to turn it back. ""I--I need to make sure there are no problems outside,"" Barir said suddenly, woodenly, finding some excuse to leave the Tremere's presence. He could still feel the Beast there in the background, ready to rise and destroy everything. Without another word to either Mr. Morgan or Mr. Richter, Barir turned on his heel and headed for the door and fresh air in an attempt to distance himself from the source of his Beast's rage, if only until he could get it under control. A hand touched his forehead and he looked at it to see a soft sheen of blood.

The previously friendly to neutral demeanor disappeared, replaced by the look of raw, naked emotion struggling to surface as the Beast made its presence known.<br/><br/>The look on Sebastian's face tightened immediately, his eyes wide with the sudden realization of danger; he hadn't expected such a strong reaction and almost took a step back - almost, but his own self-control asserted itself and he quickly forced himself to visibly relax: his jaw unclenched; his hands, tightened to fists, color fleeing where the nails bore into his own flesh, came loose again.<br/><br/>It was a stark reminder for him. Though he put on a brave face of assured self-control, the sudden barely controlled aggression Barir showed made his own vulnerability all too apparent. As much as Sebastian liked to think himself a superior being now, far removed from mortal frailty, he was no fighter. This kindred before him could likely tear him apart with little effort, if cut loose, and there was very little he could do about it, except hope that the third party in this conversation, Art Morgan, felt like stepping in before he was killed rather than after.<br/><br/>His mind raced, meanwhile: it had been his declaration of being Tremere that had set Barir off, hadn't it? His clan was feared by many, certainly far from well-liked, but in modern nights rarely met with that much hostility as far as he was aware. But perhaps the notion he had entertained and dismissed earlier was true: perhaps Barir belonged to the Assamite clan and the rage he directed at him was that of a clan long restrained by the Tremere's blood-curse. Or perhaps Barir just had some beef with Sebastian's brethren, wherever he came from.<br/><br/>""Of … of course,"" Sebastian offered in response, snapped out of his panic-induced guesswork when Barir suddenly spoke. Though he had previously managed to keep himself together, just barely, his posture relaxed a little when the Assamite passed him by. Almost automatically, he adjusted his tie, then turned to Art once again.<br/><br/>Art's offer, to his surprise, sounded rather appealing. After that sudden shock. Despite the many years of abstinence, his conviction that he had overcome any lingering dependencies or disreputable habits, it sounded very good right now. Indecision flickered over his face for a moment. ""I,"" he finally began, resolve slowly returning to his voice, ""appreciate the offer, but I don't think whatever gripe he has so readily overcome."" He briefly pulled a grimace, then added more quietly: ""… and I'm trying to put that sort of thing behind me. Not too conductive to getting ahead in the clan."" His old excuse, that he was getting too old for this sort of thing, didn't really fly among vampires.<br/><br/>The Tremere paused, an unusual twinge of regret on his face - another admission that the encounter had shaken him more than he liked to admit when compared to his usually unflappable mannerisms. ""But if you need any supplies, the offer stands."""

Three of the Harpies rise from their table. Helena Taylor and Cassandra begin walking toward a small stage that has been set up with a row of five chairs: four opulent, black leather-upholstered and padded chairs and a larger, more throne-like black leather chair in the middle with two on either side. Helena and Cassandra each take a seat, with Helena in the leftmost chair (stage left, that is) and Cassandra in chair next to her, the second chair counting from left to right.<br/><br/>Monica stands and addresses the crowd once it grows quiet.<strong>""We'll begin Elysium shortly.

A pair of double doors opens on stage right and walking out onto the stage is Prince Marcus Vitel with the Sheriff by his left side.<br/><br/>The Prince wears an expensive, custom tailored suit and similarly expensive Italian shoes. He takes his time walking across the stage to his throne, as though he knows that he absolutely owns the room. When he takes his seat, the Sheriff remains at his left hand, creating a regal image of Prince Marcus Vitel in the middle on his throne with his Seneschal at his right hand and his Sheriff at his left hand, with a pair of Primogen on each side.<br/><br/>Once he has taken his seat, the four Primogen and the rest of the crowd take theirs once again.<br/><br/>Monica Black, the Seneschal, begins speaking once again when the band ceases their playing.<strong>""I would like to thank you all for attending this evening.

The Sheriff, standing almost at attention but scanning the crowd frequently, gives a short nod and her face does not change its expression from its sharp attentiveness. At the mention of the Prince's name and extending gratitude, the audience applauds.<br/><br/>When the applause dies down, the Seneschal begins speaking again.<strong>""Our first round of business will be the acceptance of Kindred new to the city and new to the blood.

Instead, with a great effort of will, he slowed his breath and then stopped it entirely. He began to move again--if he were out here anyway, he should make sure nothing strange was afoot--or was that simply an excuse not to go back inside, and face his failure and cowardice? Running away from another. He was sure he could have torn the other vampire apart, but why should he? The man had not done anything directly to Barir. His clan might have made decisions that in hindsight might be ... well,<em>bad</em>didn't express the magnitude of their crimes, but still, he was not to blame for his entire clan's actions. More rationalizations to hide the truth from himself--that he wanted to go back in and grant the True Death to the Tremere not only for the history of his clan's actions, but for causing Barir to feel this way.<br/><br/>As the band comes to a stop Barir's eyes widen--he had tarried too long outside. Another quick sweep of his eyes as he confirmed that nothing strange was about and he was once more within the building, silent as a shadow and just as unnoticeable as he joins the throng of Kindred within the structure, his foot-steps well-hidden by the loud band welcoming the members of the Council into the Elysium. Upon the call for newcomers to step forward, he knew that this was his time. He watched the others step forward and speak, each one with gilded words that blazed in the darkness in every ear, each one expertly turning public opinion this way or that as they chose, each one playing the crowd to the hilt. A glance down at his shoes; he had no such talent. His was not the most enchanting of voices, nor the pleasant of guises. He knew not how to twist phrases and speak in measured tones meant to play upon emotions or stir the hearts of those sitting and watching the procession of newcomers.<br/><br/>Thus, when his turn came, he spoke simply. ""Barir bin Yasha,"" he said softly, his strange accent coming forth once more to tinge the air with its lilting mix of the Middle-East and Britain. ""You know of my situation, Prince Vitel. Please accept my most humble thanks for allowing me to remain in your domain, and I hope to continue serving Sheriff Reyes, and by proxy, yourself."" There was unsurety in his voice, and he knew that his position was tenuous--at any moment, the house of cards he had built for himself here, a place where he might somehow shelter the storm that was prophesized to one day sweep the world, might fall down and he be torn apart along with the world. Still, it was important for now to concentrate on the present, rather than the future. Only through that could he have a chance of succeeding in evading his ultimate fate before it came for him once more."

His inner equilibrium regained, he offered a brief nod towards Art as a way of showing his respect, then briskly made his way towards the small stage, wondering what sort of opening act he would have to suffer through this time.<br/><br/>Of course he applauded when the time came, the slow methodical clap of a man with dignity -- the European aristocrat he aspired to be. Though he had no fondness for such displays, the individuals gathered upon the stage were all impressive in their own right, even if he had to quietly admit that the Prince outshone them all with his self-assured charisma and mannerisms. He brushed through his graying hair once, as the introductions began, then proceeded to watch and listen with keen interest, preparing his mental checklist with intention of assessing every single potential use or weakness to be found.<br/><br/>The first, the Caitiff, was an odd one. Her voice was certainly her best feature, its lull pleasant in his ears, but with distaste he quickly found her awfully presumptuous. 'Cannot be faulted'? He almost made a slight gag of irritation, but managed to stop himself in time. The moderate distaste he always projected was one thing, to audibly laud such feelings during Elysium quite another. Not to mention that those 'modest riches' she spoke of made for a good reason to approach her afterwards -- and the Prince didn't exactly look displeased with her. Criticizing this Altagracia Santiago now would be the same as to criticize Vitel's judgement of her - not a very healthy thing to do. Personally, he'd have at least made her recite and explain those traditions she claimed to honor so closely, but perhaps that had already been taken care of before the public outing.<br/><br/>Dietrich Anderson, like many Ventrue, proved foolish enough to announce the potency of his own Vitae to the entire room. One could only hope that there were no traitors leaking information to the Sabbat in attendance today. Though between all the scheming and back-stabbing in Kindred courts, Sebastian thought that optimistic at best. Still, the businessman sounded quite well-off; smuggling connections were a rather useful thing to dabble in. He'd have to speak to the Ventrue afterwards.<br/><br/>Ingrid. His fellow apprentice (though, with no small measure of smugness, he still maintained a higher rank within that particular station) forced the bitter Sebastian to suppress a groan. Why would she even consider asking the Prince such nonsense? Things that were common knowledge? Did she want to give the impression of lusting for Giovanni blood? That in itself wasn't bad, but it was also never a good thing to look<em>too</em>eager in seeking another kindred's destruction.  Between her arcane spiel and those odd questions, he briefly wondered what sort of impression she was going for - first mystery and competence, then a bumbling mistake? Maybe she'd done it on purpose, to make herself look grand-standing and thus be underestimated in some subtle way he couldn't quite follow?<br/><br/>Mulling over those thoughts quietly, he once again vowed to himself that he would not lose an inch of his own standing to her. Perhaps with some proper guidance she might prove a useful tool against the others. There were still more Circles for him to climb, even if he could already claim the title of High Apprentice.<br/><br/>Barir. He didn't reveal much, except that he had collected himself again in order to stand before the Prince.

Norman had spent time once with a Nosferatu who claimed to be six hundred years old. According to the man's account presentations like the one Norman was now witnessing were much livelier in the past, with the constant threat of erupting bloodshed. Norman wasn't so certain about that; there was every chance the older vampire was merely putting a neonate through the ringer.<br/><br/>Vampire society now seemed much more about the insult than the blade. Etiquette instead of armor. Information instead of brute strength. It was a world that suited Norman better. He would not have survived long in those bloodier waters.<br/><br/>Norman took special note as the very large Ventrue stepped forward to make his introductions. He was not an expert on the intricacies of Kindred social rankings, but the man's Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon spiel certainly sounded impressive. Not a bad one to get to know, Norman decided.<br/><br/>And then the Society page was complete, on to News, Sports and Weather. Sabbat in Columbia. That was only a few miles from his old life. From Anne-Marie. The Sabbat were not so careful as the Camarilla to not hurt humans. He would have heard if something happened to her; his electronic agents scoured the net constantly for her name, one of the few, painful, ties that he maintained to his previous life. Norman made a note to speak to bin Yasha, or even the Sheriff if she became available, and learn more about what exactly had happened up that way.<br/><br/>For a Prince who hoped to convey his ability to maintain safety in the city, Norman thought, there certainly seemed to be a lot of places considered dangerously off-limits. He would have to pull records for the last twenty years or so to check his gut. Were things really growing worse, or was he just being pessimistic?"

He had heard that some kindred could see the stain of diablerie upon others, and wondered how many eyes he had caught with a sense of trepidation. Would any come out and confront him about it? No, despite it being barred by the Camarilla, it seemed as though these Kindred were far more subtle. It would come with a threat, a request to do something, or worse. He steeled himself as the Elysium continued, slightly toning out as his internal thoughts churned within.<br/><br/>Once the announcements were over, he moved carefully towards the Sheriff, and stood behind her and slightly to her right, a presence but not one so close that it was smothering. Clockwork continued to work within, but he simply waited for the Elysium to end so that he might see if Sheriff Reyes needing him for anything tonight, or if he were free to go home. Not that he had much to do there--it was a small, damp place, and at times even a little lonely. But he didn't dare talk about that--it would appear weak in the extreme, and showing weakness so soon would be terrible for his health.<br/><br/>So concerned was he with these thoughts that he didn't notice the Tremere from before who stood in the audience. The pressure of standing before the gathered Kindred had been such that he barely recalled just moments ago feeling the Beast almost take possession of his senses.

Not at the familiarity; he'd grown accustomed to the beautiful people treating him as an animal, or an object. Beneath notice. Normally he was very much in favor of this. It was far easier to overhear when those doing the talking considered you equivalent to a houseplant. Much like in human society, among Kindred the ugly could often be counted beneath notice.<br/><br/>That wasn't the vibe he was sensing from Joanna, though. In this case his discomfort stemmed from the attention that her conduct might draw from others in the room. The spotlight was not where Norman wanted to be. It was bad enough having emerged from the shadows of the underworld into the bright lights of vampire society. Elysium was one of the least enjoyable, but at the same time most necessary parts of his new unlife. Now he found himself having a succession of open conversations with attractive young vampires -- though who could say who was truly young here? -- while the remainder of the skulking Nosfertu were, he was sure, noting his every move. Who watches the watchers? Well, mostly that cluster of hideously deformed pale wretches over there in the corner, that's who. His people.<br/><br/>""Everyone's a prisoner of others preconceptions,"" Norman agreed. ""As a people we do love our stereotypes, don't we? We just have to do our best to sink below them. After all, beneath our masks we're pretty much all the same. Ravenous beasts trying to tear our selves asunder and bring mindless destruction upon those around us."" He paused, then smiled. ""Or at least so I'm told.""<br/><br/>""As to your webcam idea, I think it has merit. How much traffic comes through your club in an evening? A hundred people, two hundred? Online you're competing in a much bigger pool, but there are far more fish. Thousands, millions. Put up the right content, but the bait in front of the right people... If necessary, poison the competition. It's a dog eat dog world, just to mix metaphors a little more liberally. If you're interested I'm sure that we could work out something. Would it be possible for me to visit your club? I'm afraid I'm not as adept as some of my elder brethren at 'fitting in' to most human social situations.""<br/><br/>"

Unarmed. No hidden weapons beneath the sheer black dress. Not a current threat. These were the thoughts that Barir had when the harpy had came close. He had assumed, of course, that she had simply been meaning to pass by him and continue on, the object of her attention being somewhere beyond and he simply having happened to come in between her and her desire by chance. Giving her no more thought, he continued to scan the rest of the room, as well as one of the nearby windows, maintaining his guard against an attack--if one were to come, it wouldn't find him wanting. The sudden pressure on his arm startled him, and he almost jumped in surprise, though he was able to at the very least school that impulse.<br/><br/>He looked down, and saw the diminutive vampiress draped on his arm, and an eyebrow furrowed. He had received short descriptions on some of the notable Kindred who would be attending the Elysium from Sheriff Reyes, and he struggled to find the woman's name in his mind that still tried to grasp her reason for having made contact with him. A few moments that began to become uncomfortable passed as Barir struggled awkwardly to find her name before it finally came to him. ""Ms. Stravinsky,"" he said, his face unmoving as he tried to hide his emotions from the harpy. ""A pleasure to make your acquaintance,"" the words are there, but there's little feeling behind it as confusion mix withe caution.<br/><br/>He had heard of creatures such as this lovely one, trend-setters and opinion-leaders who guided the flow of the community's communal emotions. Get on one's good side, and you might find yourself having a pleasant time seated among the highest in the court. Get on one's bad side, however, and the whole city could be turned against you in moments with the Prince pressured into calling a Blood Hunt in response to whatever you may--or may not--have done. It was a tenuous knife's edge, and he would have far rathered to have escaped her attention. Still, it would do him no good to get her riled up against him, and he shuddered to ponder what thoughts resided in her mind as she examined him almost as though he were a strange butterfly beneath a magnifying glass, wings pinned and shaking against the needles that held it in place.<br/><br/>""Barir, please,"" he answered her in his own faintly-accented voice, the mixture of Middle-East and British English just as strange in this place as her own accent. He looked down at her arm, almost locked down on his own, and wondered if it would be unsightly to shake her off and make a run for it before he fell too far down the rabbit hole. Probably, though the risk would have been worth it if he hadn't noticed the Sheriff looking unapprovingly at him for a moment before turning her attention away. Yipes, he would have to be careful, and on his best behavior.<br/><br/>""So, what do you think of the Elysium thus..."" he trailed off as he got a closer look at her. Blue eyes the color of the sky against a foreground of yellow daisies stood out to him against dark eyeshadow, a contrast against the pale skin. Red lips looking so soft that he wanted to drink them in eternally. Her throat bared against the black of her dress called for him to softly press his fangs into her and drink deeply. He swallowed, wondering where those feelings had come from, and tried to push them down with only partial success as he finished the sentence lamely, ""...far?"""

Considering the obvious difference in physical age, it was ambiguous whether he was remarking upon it or Deitrich's status as a newcomer.<br/><br/>For a moment his sharp gaze lost its focus as his own thoughts drifted off.

He could address Norman and his fellow brethren straight and with almost no difficulty.

A Setite here, at the heart of Camarilla power? This was truly a strange night full of surprises if they allowed one of the corrupters into their midst, and he wondered what her angle was... and even more importantly, what the Prince's long-term plan was for allowing her into the very heart of the Elysium. ""I'll admit, I find it strange to see one of the Serpents here,"" his eyebrows rose to emphasize the words, the strange accent peppering the words with a different connotation from what one might usually expect from a native speaker.<br/><br/>""You have much success with this... style of drawing?"" he asked after two beats of examining the card before looking up at her once more, and sliding to the right with almost imperceptible movements in order to keep the window behind her so that he might look at both at once and maintain the security cordon which had been established. ""The eyes--are they not exaggerated? And the nose. It appear almost..."" he looks pensive for a moment, ""unnatural.""<br/><br/>At her question he slipped the card into a jacket pocket after examining it one last time and murmured, ""Not exactly what I'm used to. I know we don't feel it anymore, but... the cold disagrees with me. Hot and dry, that is what I prefer. Here I feel as though I constantly need a bath despite not sweating anymore."" He looks more closely at the woman, eyes almost boring into Joanna. ""Why do you... do that?"" he asks her gesturing to her skin. ""I do not know what they call it in this region. The color. The breathing. You lose blood and moisture that way, do you not? It seems wasteful to just give it up like that constantly,"" he says, his own skin still having the unnatural coldness of the undead but being far darker than that of any other Kindred in the room.<br/><br/>Joanna can see the stirrings of the Beast behind his eyes, as she had noticed before. It isn't the full-on fight-or-flight response which had driven him to leave the room before, but there is a caution there, a wariness that precludes the focused violence which he almost appears to be known for, according to the what the Prince had mentioned when he had been presented. A moment later and it was gone once more. ""And you yourself? How do you find DC and your care in the Camarilla's... warm hands?"" he asked head tilting slightly as his eyes roved between her and the window beyond."

I'm just babbling.""  She looked back to him, adding, ""I also wanted to request that if you can stake Serpents of the Light and bring them to me, I can get you favors for them.  I know it's a weird request and you probably won't be able to tell, but...""  She raised a single hand as if to make the offer for something so ephemeral, unsure whether it would be accepted but at least trying to give what extra help she could."

It was clear why that had become the custom among the Nosferatu. One more human ritual to be filed away and only brought out on special occasions. Norman inclined his head toward the hulking Ventrue on the far side of the room. ""You've met the giant, so time to visit the troll?

Was that the correct word in English? Perhaps ""artificial"" might be a better one. There was a better word for it in his native language for the combination of forced posture and the mask in place, but unfortunately either there was no analaog for the precise connotations that the word meant. He wondered how many other vampires kept masks in place, how often they let those masks go, and just what the kind of pressure of wearing a mask for years, decades, perhaps centuries, did to a person. Certainly, they all had the Beast inside of them, but there was still a remnant of something human there too, with all the irrationalities, delusions, neuroticisms, and more that made each one what they were. He didn't even notice as she changed subjects, too engrossed with his own thoughts.<br/><br/>""Anee... meh?"" he asked her with a cocked eyebrow, removing the card from his jacket pocket once more to examine the strange drawing. ""Japanese...?"" both eyebrows rose this time in obvious skepticism. Was her establishment located in Little Tokyo or some other similar place? Or was this the effect of globalization that he had heard so much about lately? As she explained the reason he nodded a little, though his gaze still seemed to hold a dubious note as he pocketed the card once more.

Another cocked eyebrow as he tried to translate her words into a different tongue before stumbling upon what she meant--or rather what he thought she meant. ""Oooooh, you mean sex.

""From what I've seen, most people can be nice. Most of the Kindred, however, are only nice when there is something to gain from it. Play on words, threats from the darkness, a hidden knife in the shadows, dragon's breath shotgun rounds--all these are ways to get what you want, to achieve a goal, to put someone out of action. The difference is,"" he raises a single finger to emphasize his words, ""that words are cheapest, easily taken back or turned around, and can be just as sharp as any knife or burn as brightly as any flame.""<br/><br/>""The reason people rarely speak to the Nosferatu is not because they're hard to approach,"" he responds. ""It's because they are hideous, twisted beings whose very flesh is a constant reminder of the Beast within us all.

Richter</strong>, Tremere Apprentice<br/><em>Charisma 3, Appearance 2, Status 1, 'Blush of Health'</em><br/>Tagged: Norman Black<br/><br/>What was known about the Tremere in front of him, this thin man with his goatee, that high widow's peak and the gray streaks in his hair -- certainly that he could project a completed image, every inch the modern warlock, down to the careful enunciation and lacquered cane. His age, perhaps, was his greatest advantage in this, giving him an air of experience that other neonates lacked.<br/><br/>Another Childe of the Regent, Sebastian had been granted the Kiss only ten years ago but seemed to have taken to kindred existence with relish and was apparently rising fairly quickly within the structure of his clan -- this had made him some enemies, of course, but there was much to be gleaned of a man by the quality and number thereof.<br/><br/>""Quite,"" Sebastian agreed when the Nosferatu confirmed his own name, followed by a slight nod. While he didn't believe that Norman was actually ignorant of who he was, he could appreciate another kindred hiding the true extent of their knowledge. Though the Tremere trafficked primarily in matters arcane, at least in this their clans were similar, always pretending to know more or less than they actually did while collecting favors.<br/><br/>This conversation proved the perfect example. The existence of fairy-beings was far from public knowledge even amongst their kind. Sebastian knew next to nothing about them, except the odd reference to their existence in an occult record or two. Still, his expression gained an odd intensity when his new talking partner mentioned trolls, giants and were-rats, as if the light remark upon them gave him reason for alarm.<br/><br/>The Tremere had to suppress a chuckle at the last one, though. As if the thought of rabid vampire-hating werewolves wasn't bad enough. One might as well talk about were-spiders or crocodiles, so absurd was the notion. He was also fairly certain valkyries didn't exist, but that sort of thing was likely better asked of a necromancer.<br/><br/>He briefly reached to adjust his tie, his expression turning sour -- well,<em>more</em>sour, if that was possible. ""I found little to be impressed about,"" he confessed. ""Ignorance and insolence are expected from the clanless, but I begin to see why good Ingrid came with a chaperone. Criminal ties, though useful, are far from rare amongst our kind. Bin Yasha seems the one standout."" Sebastian wasn't sure if Norman had taken note of the hostile encounter between Barir and himself earlier, so he opted not to mention it.<br/><br/>""I'd advise you not to poke into the internal affairs of Clan Tremere,"" he suddenly noted, switching the subject as he furrowed his eyebrows. ""Ms. Schwarzegeist is young, but she is still of our blood. Whatever my personal opinion."" At least a token effort had to be made to preserve the public image of Clan Tremere being a united front, even if his thoughts turned hateful at the notion of supporting that dolled up upstart.<br/><br/>As quickly as that sudden warning had come his features relaxed again into their usual expression of mild distaste. He drew closer, his voice taking a hushed tone:  ""There are a few things I would ask of you."" It wasn't so much that he wanted to keep his request a secret - they were standing in plain view, after all - but he did enjoy the pretense. And it never hurt to entertain good relations with the information brokers, or at least to be seen by others that way."

Not that this was news, it was a thought he'd had many times over the years. He imagined that it was like prison, or at least like the vision of prison that a white upper-middle class suburbanite without a touch of a criminal record might imagine. When out-and-out violence was removed from the equation by an overwhelming superior force, people channeled their energies into power games, one-ups-manship and scrabbling for status. Not that his glass house would survive any tossed stones, but he preferred to play his games privately and through proxies. Less<em>I warn you not to pry into our affairs</em>, more<em>your favorite ghoul got picked for jury duty... again.</em><br/><br/>He raised his clawed hands placatingly.<em>I'm no threat to anyone. Certainly not a powerful and esteemed vampire such as yourself.</em>The gesture, the expression, the tone of voice were second nature now. Live as a rat, survive as a rat. ""Of course, of course. It was merely an observation. It would take a greater fool than I to entertain the thought of spying on Clan Tremere."" Norman could name about six such greater fools without even thinking hard.<br/><br/>Finally conversation turned to business. ""I am at your service, sir. When our kind is so beset by enemies on all sides, it behooves all of us to render aid when we can."" Not that every single favor wouldn't be tracked in his mental ledger; no less than he would expect from any of the Kindred. Ten years into his undeath money was still a concern, but from where he was standing he could see a place where the currency of debts of honor would be much more highly treasured.<br/><br/>"

Richter</strong>, Tremere Apprentice<br/><em>Charisma 3, Appearance 2, Status 1, 'Blush of Health'</em><br/>Tagged: Norman Black<br/><br/>The man's face didn't so much as move while Norman attempted to placate him. It wasn't as if Sebastian expected the Nosferatu to actually cease spying on their clan anytime soon, he simply preferred to keep his own nonchalance towards the matter to himself. It was far better to see others unsettled by the thought of angry blood-mages spoiling their day rather than to be seen as a carefree security risk. And a healthy measure of fear was something he enjoyed in a relationship, both private and professional.<br/><br/>""And one hand washes another, as they say,"" Sebastian finally agreed after Norman finished speaking, implying that he was all too aware of the favor-trading and currying. He hadn't been going through the Elysium dance for five years now without learning a step or two. ""First, a<em>potential</em>favor in service of House and Clan. With the recent announcements, it is quite obvious that information on the graveyard oddities will be collected if it hasn't already. I will trust your discretion in this matter,"" he noted, his tone not particularly trusting and more expectant, ""but if you deem that it may be of interest to Clan Tremere, be it for those involved or a potential occult connection, we will take any information on it you have. For this purpose, I will act as your liaison.""<br/><br/>A frown had appeared on his face as he continued to speak, but lessened when he had finally finished. The Tremere brushed his fingers through his trim beard  once, then raised his hand to indicate that he wasn't finished. ""The second matter is in regards to the Lupines. A dangerous threat best left alone, as far as I'm concerned, but there are certain protections only my kind can provide."" He lowered his head, gaze intent. ""If you could inform us -- through me, of course -- when someone inquires about the creatures and may be in need of protection, that, too, would be appreciated."" He clicked his tongue, looking pensive for a moment, but then continued. ""Lastly, a more personal request. I would like a background dossier on our sheriff's new catspaw. I'm certain he has caught enough attention that you'll find a number of interested parties, but I want it all the same.""<br/><br/>His first two favors asked would obviously be to his own benefit as long as he was the middle man. From everything Norman might have heard of him, Sebastian would likely assume the Nosferatu to be aware of this from the get-go and willing to owe an additional favor in return. Considering that he claimed it was for the clan's agenda and that they were more passive 'in case' favors, it was likely a more profitable venue to latch onto that aspect."

Of course. Sure you weren't,"" Barir sniffed knowingly, the smile still on his face at his apparent shrewdness for escaping her trap. ""You didn't mean anything by it at all!"" the grin grew a little haughtier and deeper as he took amusement in beating her at her own game, entirely believing that even these words were a trap of sorts. She just wanted him to<em>think</em>that she hadn't meant anything by offering to him the ""plentiful aspects of existence"" here! But no, he had successfully sidestepped that trap. He wondered if this was what the elders had meant by the ""politics, machinations, and lies of the Camarilla"", and came to the conclusion that he might not be so terrible at them himself. After all, he had beaten one of those who frequented the unhallowed halls of Elysium--and one of the Corrupters at that!<br/><br/>""Despite your most... ermm, generous offer,"" he raised his eyebrows in triumph, ""no, no, I think I shall have to refuse your charms. I'm certain it'll feel lovely and warm, as the fly said to the spider in regard to its web, but it might fit me a little too tightly. And I have certain..."" he glanced at the Sheriff for a moment, ""obligations that must be met atop that. Despite that, I may stop at your ... establishment? Domain? Territory? Demense? Lair? I know not the right word for it in English,"" he clenched his lips together in frustration at the peculiar language with all its funny twists and turns. ""If my duties take me by there, of course,"" his gaze slips over the window, keeping it in sight as he nods to the Setite.<br/><br/>""As for your... Light Serpents,"" the words rolled of his tongue strangely, ""I'll have to check with the Sherrif. It's not like the Sabbat identify themselves before throwing themselves at us with claws and fangs, attempting to rip us to shreds,"" he shrugs, speaking casually of fighting in the streets, one monster throwing himself at other monsters, each one scrabbling to end the other and rip them to shreds. ""And as I said before, obligations. But the question shall be asked, and this one shall see if such a thing is ... possible,"" he returned to the cadence of his old tribe's speech by accident as he turned his gaze to the Sheriff once more, unwilling to promise anything until he got the okay from a more prominent authority figure."

""Though I had no plans to visit this graveyard myself, I had certainly intended to keep my ear to the barrows and hear what there was to hear. My hearing is excellent, of course, but I only worry that I might have trouble interpreting what I glean. The more supernatural a thing is, the less confident I am of my ability to understand it. Ironic, perhaps, coming from one who can't even look in a mirror and probably would no longer want to if he could. So perhaps this shall be more of a mutual service rendered. I'll bring what intelligence I gather to you, and you can share with me how it might make sense when viewed through your peculiar lens.""<br/><br/>Second. ""As you can probably imagine, the wolves scare the hell out of me, and anyone who thinks they're up for hunting one scares me only a little less. I plan to steer clear of that entire situation, though occasionally crumbs float by even if they're not being sought. If something should fall into my lap I would be most happy to pass it along and then forget it immediately.""<br/><br/>It was the third request that was the most interesting. The phrase 'background dossier' triggered all sorts of memories from Norman's former life. He held up the third finger. ""As to your last request, I can make no promises. Let me see what I can find, and find who else is seeking, before we discuss a price for the results. Fair enough?""<br/><br/>Norman was growing tired of the polite interplay of Elysium and the company of his supernaturally attractive brethren. It was beginning to wear on him as a reminder of his own pitiable state, and he began to long for the dankness of his tunnels. Was this what it was, then, to finally succumb and become a monster? When even a polite gathering became such a burden? He feared that some of his weariness was beginning to show in his voice and expression, and so flashed Richter a ghastly smile of reassurance. ""I am sorry, my thoughts were drifting. It's just about time for me to crawl back into my hole, I think.""<br/>"

""Beautiful little serpent,"" he says, and a hand rises to the edge of her chin, bringing her eyes up to meet his, the words said in that strange mixture of old and new. He bites his lower lip for but a moment and a sigh escapes him before he answers her. ""Of course it is. Do you know of the story of the scorpian and the frog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog)? It is no more your fault for being the way you are than that of the scorpian. Nor would I fault one of the Ventrue for being proud and aloof. Or for the Tzimisce to chase perfection forever through the shape of their body. Or for one of the Malkavians for spouting nonsense and telling the strangest tales, of magic and stardust. Or for one of the Brujah to passionately argue of their beliefs, even to the point of violence. The Beast that shapes each of does so of its own accord, dear one. It is a strange magic that flows through our veins, and it is not my fault that I was made as I am, nor yours that you were made as you are. I do not fault you for your faults, for they are part of you as much as your need to imbibe blood, and the choice to place them within yourself was not yours.""<br/><br/>He released her chin gently, his eyes losing some of their amusement and instead gaining more sadness. ""I do not find fault with you, beautiful little serpent,"" he repeated, ""but I recognize your faults, and the dangers they carry. You are of the Corrupters, those who find it joy in changing minds and flesh in the service of Set. I would be a fool not to be on guard, as would any other member of the Kindred who steps into Elysium. It is not your fault, little serpent, but it<em>is</em>a reality. In the same manner, I treat every one of the Kindred here with the same respect such danger requires. To not respect danger is to bare your heart to it, and to invite death during moments of solitude. Similarly, you should be aware of the dangers even I can pose, and guard yourself against me in the same manner.""<br/><br/>His tone was warm and authoritative, no trace of rejection or coldness in it, almost as though he were speaking to a child he was fond of. She could hear that hurt in his voice that matters were as such, that they had to contend with danger on all sides and that this was life. ""It is fine. Peace,"" he says softly, laying a hand, cold against her warm cheek for just a moment before focusing beyond, his hand leaving her cheek as he looks once more towards the open window beyond, focusing once more on his duty. ""Peace be between us. And if there is time, I shall visit this 'Cat's Eye' place and see precisely what place it is. And there we may have a chance to speak more, ken?"" he asks, the soft smile returning to his face as he looks again in Joanna's direction and the last word in some strange language, though easily surmised as to its meaning."

In truth, while he did believe that she would set snares to catch him as would any other vampire here in Elysium, he hadn't thought that she had meant to set them with her own body.

His expression returned to the neutral mask that he had worn before being accosted by Angelique before, and he nodded slowly, though the sadness remained in his eyes. These things, such as they were, happened more often than not and it was their lot in life to go through the motions of living despite being undead monstrosities that had no real reason to continue moving apart from the dread force within that hungered for the blood of the living.<br/><br/>""Goodbye,"" he said, the word accompanying the nod as he watched her as she left. He wondered if they would truly meet once more, if he would go to this establishment of hers and see what was there. No, probably not, he decided.

He had been assured time and again that nothing short of the vaporization of the area around and half of DC would be able to pierce the sanctity of Elysium, but a small voice in the back of his head, the one that had kept him alive while on the run, the one that was always suspicious of everyone and everything, whispered that there were always weaknesses in the system, always ways to get in. And there might, but fortunately the line had not been breached tonight. Still, it didn't stop from feeling as though he wanted to act jittery and on edge.<br/><br/>He watched the departing Kindred as he waited for the Sheriff to respond. He wondered how many would sleep in actual coffins, and how many would sleep in satin-silk beds amid warm bodies of a herd who waited on their every whim. Ah, to be so carefree. But everyone was given a different task in life, everyone had been handed different problems, and the only one who could solve those problems was the one they were given to. He supposed that he should be thankful that his problems were minor in comparison to some's, but the enmity of his former clan weighed heavily on him, and was something he wished he could take back, let go of, or even simply forget and have nothing to do with again.

The area seems to be secluded from other nearby campsite areas, as each campsite seems to be isolated for the privacy of the campers. At this particular campsite, though, it's evident that a struggle of some sort has taken place from the pressed-down underbrush inside the ring of police tape. A cast-iron pan sits on the metal grate of the cinderblock grill, over the remains of burned charcoal, but it's presently empty.<br/>{Edit Based on rolls}<br/>Barir can see that the physical signs in the dirt, and the presence of some dark mud, indicate that in the struggle, the victim bled out. Also, two sets of tennis shoe prints lead away from the campsite down the road and back toward the main area of the park. Based on their stride, they were running, and based on their size, they were two women. Barir is pretty certain that he's alone in this part of the forest for now.<br/>{Edit #2 based on rolls}<br/>Barir can see a faint set of two roughly-circular imprints in the dirt near the pushed down underbrush, which he interprets to be the knee prints of someone kneeling. Near the knee prints is another trail of footprints, but this one is barefoot and leading away from the campsite in the opposite direction, deeper into the forest. Based on the size, they are a woman's footprints, but based on the stride, she wasn't in any hurry. He's able to follow the trail for a few dozen feet in more or less a straight line deeper into the forest, at which point they disappear into a small stream. Barir also knows that streams have been used by escaping convicts to attempt to mask their scent from the dogs used to track them. The convict would walk either up stream or down stream to avoid leaving a trail.<br/>Barir does not get the impression that he is in the presence of the supernatural at the moment, leading him to believe that whatever did this, if it were supernatural, it is not in the area right now."

He had known his way around those types of places, knew who to talk to, knew who he had to frighten. Here it was an entirely different world; the cold air blew in his face, and he wondered what people would think if they saw a suited man stalking about a park at this hour of the night. Probably think he was on some sort of government committee tasked with tracking migratory birds, or part of the FBI this close to the crime scene. Regardless, it was probably to his advantage to look authoritative, rather than in the listless sweat pants and track sweatshirt he kept at home for when he ended up joining the Sheriff and her crew in fighting the Sabbat.<br/><br/>Pulling leather dress gloves from the pocket of his suit, which had come with the ensemble but which he had not cared to wear, he slipped them on to stop any errant fingerprints from being found and searched through the remains of the crime scene for anything else of note.

Following them deeper into the brush, making as little noise as possible, Barir cursed under his breath, ""Ben zona,"" before sighing. Well, nothing to it. First he would go upstream, and then downstream in search of the tracks. Hopefully he would find... something to make his time spent of use, rather than simply having driven here simply to spend the Prince's money on cab fare.

He hoped that he wasn't getting himself too far from the proverbial land for a few reasons. Werewolves had been mentioned already more than once tonight, and he wondered if he should give Art Morgan a call before dismissing the idea. First he needed to confirm what exactly was out here, and what precisely had killed those people. Still, there was no reason to worry too much about it for now, and he reassured himself by patting his pocket and feeling the weight of the phone within. At his other hip was his sword, lying in its fake sheathe, and its comfortable, familiar weight was far more soothing than either the phone or the pistol in its holster tucked below his armpit.<br/><br/>Suddenly, something caught his eye and he went still--almost supernaturally so. Claw marks? Very strange. Something with the strength to pull itself from water up and into the tree must have considerable upper-body strength, and while he had never had the cause or opportunity to fight one of the were-creatures with which vampires shared the night (and had to allow free reign during the day), he didn't relish the thought of going toe to toe with one. He was far from full on blood, and in this area the creature had all their advantages while he was left with little to work with. Furthermore, from the tales he'd heard, werewolves were faster, stronger, more resilient, and far more terrifying than anything he might be able to do. He might be able to do something about their regeneration, but a werewolf would most likely tear him apart from before he was able to land even a single blow.<br/><br/>These thoughts and more filled his mind as he tried to recognize the claws, and potentially follow their tracks to their source, regardless of whether they became more human or remained animalistic. Meanwhile, he would do his best to stay undetected--in this case, probably the best way of avoiding a fight.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Perception + Investigation</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">4 hits (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4511301/)<br/><br/>Edit: Forgot a die, but it was a miss (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4511304/).</div></div>"

Others are closer together, about the space between his toenails if they had claws. It looks as if some creature roughly the size of Barir or a little smaller climbed this tree with claws.<br/><br/>The claw marks go up the tree about halfway, and in the woods nearby, Barir spots another tree with claw marks on it - presumably the tree that this creature jumped to from the first tree. As Barir peers into the night, there is a more-or-less straight trail heading through the forest from tree to tree, with claw marks denoting which trees were used along this path.<br/><br/>Edit: As Barir follows this trail, he becomes certain that he is approaching something supernatural. It could be virtually anything supernatural, but he feels as though he's drawing close to a primarilly unfamiliar aura, as though it is something that he is familiar with but has been changed or altered somehow into the unfamiliar. Before long, the trail comes down to the ground again, and a set of clawed female footprints become a set of claw-less female footprints after only a few strides before the terrain goes rocky again and Barir loses the trail as it goes toward a rocky outcropping near a small cliff face."

At the change in his perceptions, he froze, and retreated back a little, trying to stay as much within the cover and darkness as possible. His cheap, tiny plastic phone from the 90s when the trend was still to get smaller and smaller with monochrome colors beeped quietly as he switched to the address book, and called one of the few numbers he had on there. The Sheriff. ""Sheriff Reyes,"" he whispered quietly into the phone upon reaching her before filling her in on the situation. ""Tracks leaving the campsite, into the nearby river. I was able to follow them where they left it, going into the trees and... changing. Gangrel, Tzimisce, some sort of were-creature... we're dealing with a shifter of some sort here, I'm pretty sure of it.

They seem to be heading in a straight line to... somewhere. What do you recommend?"" he asks, hoping for advice. ""I spoke with a Mr. Morgan at the Elysium who mentioned that if I happen to have any dealings with Werewolves to contact him to stop any... misunderstandings from occurring. Would you recommend calling him? If so I'll need his number,"" he said, remembering with shame the rise of the Beast and almost being unable to control it. Still, he needed to keep his mind on the task at hand now. ""Also, should I continue following the tracks? Something feels... off. I don't think I've been detected yet, so it might be worthwhile to continue on a little longer. What are your thoughts on the situation?"" he asks. Hopefully things wouldn't go pear-shaped, but if they did he'd rather someone ""back there"" knew of his predicament.<br/><br/>He was doubly glad now that he had gone alone--most of the others agents who travelled with the Sheriff when she brought battle to the Sabbat couldn't match him when it came to remaining hidden, and he doubted that strength in numbers would win them the answers they needed today. No, better that he was alone now, could find out what he could, and return as quickly as his feet could carry him while remaining undetected."

I'm calling you on behalf of Sheriff Reyes, and I'm currently at Rock Creek Park where an 'animal attack' recently took place,"" he said, the tone of his voice obviously putting lie to the argument that it had been an actual animal attack.<br/><br/>""Upon investigating the site, I discovered signs of shapeshifting having been used when the assailant left the area, and there..."" his voice grew pensive, ""was some sort of strange feeling when I followed their tracks. Almost as if the land itself changed. I'm not certain how to describe it,"" his accent grew thick as he concentrated less upon the language, and more on his memories of the experience. ""You asked me to contact you if I had any dealings with the werewolves in the area, and..."" he tried to find the right words, ""Sheriff Reyes thinks that might be the case. What do you think?"" he asked, unsure if he might sound delusional to the other man he had only met this night.<br/><br/>Once he and Art Morgan ended their conversation, he would backtrack to the main road and hail a cab to take him to the City Morgue."

Not because the young woman was a vampire, but at the thought of her strict domitor and the associations the words 'kindred spirits' evoked, despite their true meaning. She looked like she wanted to say something after her explanation about the book, lightly chewing on her lip, but then merely smiled and said ""Thank you."" with a look of genuine gratitude. She handled the payment and billing with practiced ease, fast and efficient without looking like she had to hurry through the procedure - apparently she had some experience tending the register.<br/><br/>Rather than look through the book, however, once Joanna had moved to browse she produced a bag from one of the compartments beneath the counter and placed it inside. After brief consideration, she then added a couple of suitable catalogs for good measure.<br/><br/>She waited a bit while Joanna looked around, but after awhile finally called out to the guest.

His attire had changed, though not nearly as much as that of the Setite guest his ghoul was currently entertaining. The fashionable suit had been replaced with a more practical combination of taupe pants and a white striped shirt. He wore the same shoes. Notably, his face looked different -- pale, perhaps even a little thinner. His expression was calm, however, with the same unhappy look that it had had earlier in the evening.<br/><br/>Katherine immediately stopped what she was doing, briefly gave Joanna a meaningful look and quickly stepped towards the door to let her domitor inside. There was no greeting as she stood, holding the door open, while Sebastian entered.<br/><br/>The blood sorcerer paused a moment to look around before his eyes settled on Joanna, whom he acknowledged with a curt nod before he addressed the blood-bound employee: ""Thank you, Katherine. Attend your duties while I speak to Ms. Kyleson."" <br/><br/>Sebastian paid no further heed to the young woman, who stepped towards the book shelves and probably returned to whatever she had been doing before Joanna had come along. Instead, he stepped over and peered at the vampiric visitor critically, brushed once through his beard and then finally spoke: ""I hadn't expected your visit so quickly. The energy of youth, I suppose,"" he said, not sounding particularly enthusiastic about the concept thereof. ""Welcome to my store.

She did look like she was under a lot of pressure, though, and Joanna's personable demeanor seemed to trouble her after learning of her true nature,  almost as if she expected all kindred to be more like Sebastian and was just waiting for the other penny to drop.<br/><br/>The reason why she didn't look into the book was another, but Katherine didn't feel comfortable sharing her thoughts without being asked about it.<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>Sebastian regarded the Setite with a puzzled look when she brought up the man who had more or less caused their earlier meeting, almost as if he had already banished the encounter from memory. His expression briefly twisted with distaste at the reminder, but he ultimately nodded, projecting a haugthy sort of graciousness before quickly changing the subject: ""Noticed that, did you?"" he asked, picking up on her mention of the incident with Bin Yasha, as he turned the knob of the supply closet and opened the door, revealing the room behind it which, astonishingly, turned out to be a supply closet, with a shelf full of cleaning supplies at their immediate opposite.<br/><br/>The Tremere didn't seem particularly perturbed by this supply closet-state of the room and instead pushed a nondescript canister of wood polish to the side, revealing a lock beneath. He then pulled a small security key from the inside pocket of his jacket and revealed that the 'shelf' was actually a fairly simple visual trick: a door outfitted with a wood design and some boards stuck onto it, a lack of illumination did the rest to fool casual examiners.<br/><br/>Behind that door was a chamber far more suited to his clan and occupation, framed with carpets of a dark-red color that many Tremere seemed to enjoy. It was again as large as the shop itself, perhaps once a place of residency for a mortal owner or just a neighboring apartment that Sebastian had expanded into. It looked larger, though, courtesy of a far more sensible (and uniform) choice in interior decoration. Where the public face was a hodge-podge collection of mixed styles that added together to a gaudy and mismatched impression, this had a decided old world flair to it, with comfortable wing-back chairs, large oak shelves full of far more refined goods, primarily antiquarian books and assorted oddities. A small fireplace, even.<br/><br/>Considering Sebastian was not known for being rich, unless he had hidden wealth of some sort, he had likely poured a considerable amount of whatever money he had scraped together over the last years into this place.<br/><br/>""Sit,"" he instructed, indicating towards one of the green-covered soft chairs with a wave of his hand while he headed towards the fireplace, laboriously knelt down and, pulling out a pack of matchsticks somewhere if the telltale sound of one being lit was any indication, set the wood inside aflame. There wasn't much other light in the room, so it actually gave a cozy impression, not quite matching the general unpleasantness of its owner.<br/><br/>That accomplished, he settled into a matching chair opposite the one he had pointed out to Joanna, reclining back and giving her another sharp look before he spoke: ""The shop is but a cover of mediocrity, designed to attract as little actual customers as possible. This place here, on the other hand, contains some works of actual worth and serves as a conference room to discuss business. You may have heard that I offer the occasional occult assistance, as many of my clan are wont to do. If you are interested in such or any other kind of business, as it appears to be a sore point, rest assured that your lineage is of no consequence to me."" A specter of a smile appeared on his thin lips. ""I despise all people equally.""<br/><br/>He brushed his long, pale fingers through his grey beard, then, apparently finished and looked at Joanna expectantly."

I suggest we return to the Park and I show you the location I found, the one that felt... off,"" he says uncomfortably, hoping she would confirm his feelings rather than feeling nothing."

He paused, letting his words hang in the air for a moment as he put his hands together in a steeple before his chest. ""However, you are a successful business owner and it so happens that I am interested in bettering it. My financial situation, that is. We may be able to assist each other; as such, I will answer your question, since it also constitutes services that you yourself may call upon.""<br/><br/>""I consult, of course, yes. Among the younger Tremere, you'll find none as well versed in arcane studies within the city. I am also a chemist -- though without degree, courtesy of a misspent youth. Provided sufficient facilities can be arranged, there are a number of uses for such skills, all of which I offer to those interested. Money will usually suffice, for those who can afford my prices, as I prefer straightforward transactions.""<br/><br/>He leaned forward, his tone turning more hushed, conspiratorial. ""I also offer what few else can: magic. I have studied powerful rites that can alleviate some of the downsides of our condition -- one of which you already witnessed today."" The older man pointed toward his own face, which was now pale and bloodless, that had earlier looked so very mortal-like. ""While you obviously have no need to improve your complexion as I did, there are other uses. A mortal sense of taste, the ability to retain ordinary food, to breathe or to derive pleasure from mundane copulation. Pieces of nostalgia,"" he said, waving dismissively, ""that I personally find little use for, but the potential is there. There is even a ritual to grow hair I can perform, to appease those tired of their permanent form."" He appeared to consider other potential rituals that might appeal to such vanities for a moment, then continued: ""Protective magic is always useful, to ward your haven against unwanted visitors -- even werewolves, if their sudden prevalence is troubling.""<br/><br/>""Obviously there are many more things that can be done, upon request, that I will not advertise. These arts are called 'arcane' for a reason."" Sebastian cocked his head to the side, studying Joanna with curiosity in his eyes. ""Does any of that interest you?"" The irony that he, the usurper, was more or less trying to 'tempt' a Follower of Set with these magics seemed to escape him.<br/><br/><strong>Sebastian D. Richter</strong>, Tremere Apprentice<br/><em>Charisma 3, Appearance 2, Status 1</em><br/>Tagged: Calrond/Helena Taylor<br/><br/>Sebastian nodded again, slowly. He was familiar enough with the history of Washington DC and most of what Helena told him wasn't new, but it implied that she either didn't know or didn't want to reveal anything further. It might bear investigating; after all, the necromantic blood-sorcery of the Giovanni was immensely useful if the various accounts he had heard and read of were any indication. The ghosts of the living, too, could be made use of, if properly manipulated, though he lacked any means to influence them beyond the mundane.<br/><br/>If the occurrences had anything about them the Nosferatu would perceive as odd, he should receive a report from Norman Black soon.<br/><br/>Perhaps it was worth a look. Surely it couldn't be too difficult to recruit some flunkies for the task, eager neonates hoping for some scraps of magic.<br/><br/>The older-looking man pinched the bridge of his nose when Helena brought up the folly of testing the prince, summarizing the matter in one curt statement. ""Or to influence them with antagonizing and sabotage,"" he pointed out, though he was certain it was a scenario she had considered already he felt it bore mentioning. ""We shall see if such follies become a trend."" He certainly had no intention of including her in their new 'anti-werewolf warding' learning program unless specifically ordered to.<br/><br/>Her question as to whether anything else was on his mind he met with a slight smirk that played around the edge of his lips. ""My studies, primarily. The lupine ward research shouldn't detract much -- I feel that I will soon reach another breakthrough. Further progress in the path has eluded me for longer than I would have liked."" Of course, Sebastian was as overly critical of himself as anything or anyone else -- so far, his thaumaturgical studies had gone very well indeed, as well as could be expected of any apprentice focusing on their blood arts."

It probably would not do wonders for his health, not that it could get much worse than it currently was, but he wasn't sure that bringing the large dogs on a trip like this was a good idea since it was much more difficult to communicate with an animal than it was with a person--especially since they tended to be much more excitable, though this was not always the case, as he thought of a few people he knew. Still, he'd always had a healthy fear of the large canines. Certainly, he was faster, potentially stronger, and had fangs just like they did, but their innate ferocity, even if they lacked the Beast, still made them a force to be reckoned with. He just hoped they were well-trained enough not to run after squirrels, and had the ability to remain as quiet as he had been and not arouse suspicion.<br/><br/>Without another word, he nodded and slowly began to move forward, now more uncomfortable than he had been before, made so not only by the dogs' proximity, but also by having the Sheriff nearby. Something about her made him want to break out in a blood sweat, and he glanced back a time or two to ensure that she was keeping up with him without making too much noise. He was suddenly aware of his dress, that he was still wearing the suit from before, and that while it had not been soiled yet, the probability of such an event occurring increased with the time he spent in the woods with it. Creeping forward under the cover of darkness, he made his way back, across the stream, pointing out the claw marks to Sheriff Reyes, before reaching the point where he had once been and attempting to sense if the same feeling was upon him as had been earlier. ""Do you feel that?"" he asks, turning to look at the Sheriff as he tries to gauge her reaction, hoping it was not only in his mind that the reaction had occurred."

""You needn't worry on account of me advertising my abilities, I was merely giving inventory in response to your question."" He had noticed that she didn't seem obviously interested in any of the things he had mentioned; if any of it was something she desired, the brunette hid it well.<br/><br/>He steepled his hands together and placed the index fingers against his chin, a gesture that he obviously employed habitually. ""But it appears you have an ear for detail, to notice a potential flaw so quickly; a very important skill when it comes to arcane craft. But rest assured, the location is of lesser concern, as when cut the hair will restore itself to its original length again. One can only trifle with permanency so much."" The notion seemed to amuse him, if his tone was any indication, though his expression failed to change along with it. Being able to cut the hair and lose the extra inches again actually was more of a feature than a flaw as far as Sebastian was concerned, otherwise one would have to eventually find ways to permanently trim it and taking away from a body that habitually restored itself to its original condition upon the Embrace was much more difficult than adding to it.<br/><br/>He paused for a moment, then, switching the subject. ""For once, the impetuousness of youth has proven useful, rather than having to visit your establishment in the coming nights, you have come to me. I'll delay no further and make you my offer. You are a Follower of Set, despised and mistrusted by many for your clan, something I am well aware you are not satisfied with. Your choice of business does little to dissuade prejudice, but it is a business and one that will always find its audience and have use. Very few kindred in history have gained respect for their kindness, if you want respect you need the power and resources to command it. Say, if your business was to expand, not just your own club but others garnering to different social groups? Naturally the market is well saturated and many kindred involved, but there are always ways. The local industry is obviously not a domain granted by the Prince so far, the evidence of which sits right before me, so there is no true monopoly.""<br/><br/>""As you have illustrated, a passive income can be exceedingly useful. I propose an alliance with such a purpose. I invest my own money in your business in exchange for suitable returns … and assist in its expansion, assuming this is of interest to you.""<br/><br/>For someone so eloquently abrasive, his offer was coming rather quickly, after only speaking to Joanna once. Perhaps he had researched Joanna for awhile already and was simply making use of the opportunity presented? Perhaps he was overeager and not nearly as confident in his own position and abilities as he seemed? It was a combination of both, in actuality, but between the cold hatred and ambition burning in his stomach he didn't have nearly as much patience as he wanted other people to think.<br/><br/><strong>Sebastian D.

He was certain that his Sire would make for an excellent Prince, at least in theory -- she had all the traits one might want for such a position and had the power and support of House Tremere to call upon, a far more efficient machinery than the slow politicking of the Ventrue. Time would show how she did in practice, if her plans were successful.<br/><br/>Once they pulled up to the chantry, Sebastian exited the vehicle as well. ""Thank you for your time,"" he added, a slight smile on his lips despite himself. ""I shall gather the necessary documents to research the ritual immediately.""<br/><br/>Returning any goodbyes or well-wishes in kind, he immediately made for his study to consult their indexes and notes on warding rituals and corresponding tomes (or digital files, as loathe as he was to make use of such things practicality usually won him over) he might need to prepare.<br/><br/>Some time into his preparatory research, a text message on his cell phone would interrupt him. An unannounced visitor had arrived at his store, someone he had intended to seek out on his own next week. If he took an hour or two for this, away from his study, it might well be worth it. With a sigh, he replied with a message of his own, then quickly set about instructing one of the lower apprentices to gather the materials he already knew he would need."

He calls upon the power welling deep within his blood and feels it answer as it always had. It moves in truly supernatural ways, flowing against the course of its natural direction as it seeps deep into his tissues and muscles, forcing them to move in ways they had not meant to. Another grunt, softer this time, escapes him as he feels the deep ligaments bathed in the blood, feeding upon it, and the blood even feeding upon itself as is strove to fulfill his command. It quickened deep within him, and he could feel that quickening move throughout his body, pushing it into an almost supernatural frenzy that no human body could have matched.<br/><br/>He then moved fast, a burst of speed pushing him forward at a rate that few could keep up with. He glanced at the Sheriff, his teeth showing in the grim smile as he easily overtook her and flew forward. The world seemed to sink into slow motion, sounds coming deeper and almost as though from a far distance through a tunnel. Each thud of the Sheriff's footsteps felt as ponderous as though she were an elephant rather than the graceful woman beside him due to her unaccelerated state, and each blade of grass fluttering slowly in the breeze stood out in stark relief to his slowed-down senses.<br/><br/>He felt his eyes light up in excitement as he pushed his feet faster, the light patter against the ground as he swiftly closed the distance between himself and the fleeting form before attempting to jump into the tree where he was now and attempting to tackle the form to the ground before it could escape into another tree. Even if he missed his launch, at the very least he hoped to see who they were--or what they were, for that matter. That information could be just as valuable as their true identity.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Mechanics</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Spending a blood point to activate Celerity.</div></div>"

No one dumps that horrible roll, or the last point into it as a ""waste of space"" thing. I do miss Comiliness as a state as it dealt specifically with appearance.<br/><br/>On the other hand, CHA finally has a defined purpose that has actual game impact. It is the base of nearly all of the interactive skills, bluff, diplomacy, intimidate, sense motive, performance and in some cases, spells. If you want an intimidating character, just play an intimidating character and put the ranks into that skill. Not everyone will be intimidated, but if that's what you want, play it up. Wren just isn't impressed by bully boys/girls because she's had to deal with them since her mid teens. ;)<br/><br/><br/>What usually gets to me is the player who simply refuses to play any emotion at all that isn't ""heroic."" I forget who said it, ""Only a fool isn't afraid when there's something to fear.""

Even half demons get some of those once in a while... when you're facing a dragon, you're suppose to have a little fear, right?<br/><br/>I'll never forget a game that I was in. We had a player who believed 100% that characters were heroes! They never had a negative emotion and always had this attitude of ""I can defeat anything!"" One night, the GM had an NPC that had been traveling with the party disappear and everyone went looking for her. (Damsel in destress) We followed the trail into the cavern of a black dragon. ""Good, more elves. After I eat her, you'll be a good snack.""<br/><br/>The ""Hero"" jumped up and thrust his chest out, ""Over my dead body!""<br/><br/>""Ok...""<br/><br/>That was when the player realized that sometimes, a little causion goes a long ways."

They see into the lower light spectrum and heat rather than light. A torch or latern produces heat, so that heat effects their sight. It's something like looking past a 100 watt light bulb when the bulb is either right in front of you, or next to your head. It's difficult (if not impossible) to see through the source of the light. Seeing into a second level of light at the same time means that the dwarf has to have two sets of eyes. You can, as an example, cover one eye with your cupped hand and turn out the light. The covered eye has adapted to the difference in light, so you have partial night sight for a few moments while the other eye catches up... it also tends to give you a mild headache for a second or two if you do it too much.<br/><br/>Even the world's most famous night vision animal, the cat, is night blind when it's standing in a room with a light source and looking out into the dark via a window. Science has proven this facet. The Human eye (and the real difference between elven and human eyes (and dwarven) is the number of rods and cones, not a mystical magical ability) cannot see both in darkness and light at the same time. The iris allows in either more or less light depending on the level of light provided. Low-light means that the ratio between rods and cones in the eye is different and can therefore interpret more of the light spectrum, but it's still restricted to one form or the other at any given moment.<br/><br/>I would say, in the absence of a written statement in any of the source material, that it's a GM's call. but it doesn't make sense for someone to see normally in a light for 20 feet, then see in the infrared or in a different spectrum beyond that. That would negate the -2 attack penalty for the drow's vision simply by giving them a ranged weapon and saying, ""Just shoot into the dark areas... you can ignore your penalty since you're not actually ""looking"" in the light."

The canonical books of the Forgotten Realms that deal with this the most are those in the Drizzt series, but the way they describe darkvision doesn't quite fit with the PHB description of it, IIRC.<br/><br/>""Darkvision is the extraordinary ability to see with no light source at all, out to a range specified for the creature. Darkvision is black and white only (colors cannot be discerned). It does not allow characters to see anything that they could not see otherwise—invisible objects are still invisible, and illusions are still visible as what they seem to be. Likewise, darkvision subjects a creature to gaze attacks normally. The presence of light does not spoil darkvision.""<br/><br/>The first sentence is key, since even a cat or an owl can't see if there's absolutely no light source. It's not a matter of having a mirrored retina or an overabundance of rods to capture all of the available light. It's magical vision that can allow the creature to see in the absence of all light.<br/><br/>So while it's magical, it certainly acts very similar to how you'd expect a cat's mirrored retina and overabundance of rods to act in low light - grayscale images (since your color-seeing cones don't work well in low light) of the world around you.<br/><br/>And the last sentence implies what Re Z L said, that having darkvision and being sensitive to bright lights are two different things. Drow and duergar have both, but non-duergar dwarves only have darkvision, not light sensitivity. But it also goes further than that. If a dwarf is standing in a well-lit room and looking across it into a dark corridor, that dwarf can see into the darkness just as well as it would if all of the lights were off."

And tieflings are treated, in some regards, as useful property, in the same fashion gnolls are. A gnoll that wants to set itself up as a merchant will likely be directed subtly at first, then not so subtly, to get his butt into serving the local authorities as a thug and stop screwing around. Note that one needs papers to move anywhere in Thay, they can be checked at any time, and can even be taken without notice...And those papers are authorized by the Zulkir's estates. Ghaazala's background quirks put her in a more privileged position than many tieflings...Not the other way around.<br/><br/>You're right about Mulhorand, though...and we're IN Western Faerun. There have been discussions with the creators about tieflings and their ""society"" and how well they ""fit in"" and the short answer is: they don't have one, and they don't fit in.

It also notes that Tieflings are judged by their humanity, not their appearance...That's kind of vague. In a human-primary society that can be read as either 'We treat you as humans because you're partly human' (unlikely given the way the rest of Thayan society is set up with such harsh class divides and such a narrowly racial nobility) or it can be read as 'We judge you based on your humanity...You aren't, so even a pretty tiefling without noticeable horns or hooves is still a tiefling.' There's also a very strict caste/class system and again, almost all of the nobility are Mulhorandi. There's reason for this in the history. Whenever forces of power or governance are noted, you read ""human and gnoll"". Not ""Human and half-elf,"" or ""human and tiefling."" Most of the Red Wizards are of the noble class (boom, Mulhorandi). Every single Red Wizard NPC is human (well, there's an ex-human lich). The prestige class requirement is very specific ""Human arcane spellcasters from Thay."" and that has never been errata'd. This is supported by discussion of Thay elsewhere in the FR books.

Some Red Wizards train these young tieflings with others of their kind, either to work as spies in other households, personal assassins, or as some sort of sacrifice to an evil being. These tieflings can develop a sense of community among their fellows. If they are lucky, they may manage to escape their evil masters, scattering to the four winds to elude pursuit. Some of these <strong>slaves</strong> start revolts to cover their tracks, others return to kill their former owners, and still others leave and never look back.""

When one is born outside a breeding program, they even fight each other to get hold of it.<br/><br/>The bold segments are mine, just put them in for emphasis. Ghaazala's background is based directly on that first quote. In that regard, her background is NOT unusual or exceptional, except in terms of how high rank the wizard who took her in and used her was. Red Wizards are evil. Thay is a state repeatedly described as ""ruthless"" in FR literature.<br/><br/>Red Wizards aren't boffing succubi because they think they're sexy.

Only Red Wizards, bureaucrats, priests, merchants and soldiers aren't near-slaves...And with soldiers, it is arguable, since they follow orders ""or else."" It also describes the Red Wizards as ""notoriously careless and abusive toward their apprentices."" also ""Thay has a small but growing ""middle class"" of free folk who are either servant-staff to zulkirs or tharchions, or else merchants and traveling trade-agents. Free Thayans are perhaps the closest to what the folk of Thay would be like without magical oppression.""<br/><br/>Thay is an oppressive nation. It's right there in print.<br/><br/>None of the FR books I've read suggest that a tiefling (or any non-human) could be a Red Wizard. None. In Thay, tieflings are valuable property for their demonic/diabolic bloodlines...Useful subjects for the Red Wizards.<br/><br/>So basically, Ghaazala reacts to Adrian the way she does, because she has every reason to believe he'd put Ming the Merciless to shame in a heartbeat the instant he had an edge in power over the people around him...And anyone else from Thay wouldn't be very surprised by her attitude towards him, even without knowing her personal history."

I'm all for adding things to the setting, new towns, villages, cults, secret societies, what have you if that helps someone manifest their character...But not with subtracting major elements from the setting. Thay may seem a long way away from Waterdeep (as far as it is from London to Kabul, along the Silk Road which the Golden Way is based upon), but the Thayan enclave in Waterdeep is one of the largest such in the West, and there have been struggles between the Thayan magic-item merchants and the Waterdhavian ones already, because the Thayans tried to undercut them and crash the market.<br/><br/>And that is the Thay which has shaped the way Ghaazala behaves, and why she is slow to trust, and why she is blatantly hostile to arcanists with Thayan accents wearing tons of red. (And she is hostile, not snarky...If the party isn't feeling like maybe they shouldn't leave these two alone together in a room, maybe I'm not doing it right...And it should be pretty obvious to anyone in the party why Red Wizard + free tiefling might be a hazardous mix. The Thayans and their slavery and the rumors about their diabolic experiments have reached every corner of Faerun.)<br/><br/>She can't be this much of an asshole all the time! Inanna apparently likes her. ;)<br/><br/>EDIT: Okay, just saw the 'mixup' post, Zaer. It sounded a little bit more like 4E 'denatured' tieflings, but I don't know. Even in Mulhorand tieflings aren't exactly respected citizens. But yeah...If anything surprises him, it's probably that a tiefling with Thayan tattoos DARES to be this openly hostile, instead of frightened. We'll see where these two go, but it's bound to be a rocky road for a while. ;)"

If his uncle had been a carpenter or other nobody important, Adrian would not had been bothered at all and send just on streets, but as officers checked was there anyone to take brat over, it then changed matters as Adrian told his last name and dots were connected between his father and his brother.

She is also too laid back and tends to get into arguments over things instead of simply saying, ""This is the plan.""<br/><br/>In a similar vein, I would also suggest that the following be considered with some care, based upon Wren's observasions.<br/><br/>Adrian: The Red robes are not known for their concern for others and he already has the distrust of another party member. In spite of things that might hint that he may not be evil, he still wears the robes and the conflict between him and Inanna will only make the role less effective.<br/><br/>Inanna: At this point, the fetchling has been more than slightly abbrasive and condensenting, I'm not sure that the trust issues in either direction could be resolved in the short term as she doesn't really seem to want to be part of the party as it is.<br/><br/>Elle: Elle has, so far, come across as being just a little flighty and not really taking things very seriously. Placing her into a leadership role may be too much to ask of the other members at this time.<br/><br/>Surge, Kail and Voloke may be options as to date, all three seem to have some potential ability to gain and keep the trust and respect needed.<br/><br/>These are, of course, Wren's in character thoughts, I have intentionally not looked at any character sheet. I prefer to learn about the characters and their abilities in play. :)<br/><br/>The idea can, of course, be tossed out, it's only a tought on how to make things a little easier all around."

Honestly, we have a BUNCH of people in this party and not everyone is posting with their character name or a portrait at the top of their posts and I haven't got everyone's characters memorized yet, please forgive me.<br/><br/>And I do agree somewhat. On the one hand, we don't want to spend two weeks debating every course of action ICly, waiting for every response. On the other hand, there were a meagre three posts between 'Familiar has found a thing!  :o' (November 10, 9:01pm) and 'Familiar thinks it lost the thing.  ???' (November 11, 3:39am).<br/><br/>I think that a roughly 24-hour period is a decent time for most of us to respond, most days? Does that sound fair? And obviously there are circumstances where waiting an extra day and change might be necessary (everyone signing in with their actions for a combat round).<br/><br/>On the other hand, when there is character-to-character conversation which isn't necessarily involving everyone else's weigh-in with every line, I believe there's a tendency in most of the PbP games I've played in for characters to be sometimes a bit long-winded (getting their point across in one post) rather than waiting for a response on 'I have a plan, would people like to hear it?' Also when a conversation is developing between two characters which isn't necessarily waiting on the opinions of the rest of the party, 'as fast as people respond' is usually okay (which sometimes means I've come home from work to find that two people in the party have been 'talking' for a quarter hour IC without interruption by others...And that's fine because sometimes people (and thus characters) take a bit of time to decide what they're going to say and if/when they're going to step into a discussion they aren't yet part of).<br/><br/>So basically I think it should be somewhat loose (i.e., when possible, not requiring everyone to wait for 'their turn to post' when we aren't on combat rounds) but with some parameters that people can rely on to know when they need to post (and sometimes how).<br/><br/>I'm going to recommend these:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>Roughly a 24 hour window between GM-posted 'events' for people to have a chance to respond.</li><li>When combat occurs, don't wait for initiative order to post (the GM will resolve attacks in initiative order).</li><li>When you post in combat, along with what you're doing, go ahead and roll to-hit, damage AND possible crit-roll and crit-damage (the GM will add that in if it happens, if your weapon has a wider crit-range or something, post that). If your initiative changed because you held an action waiting for the enemy, then note in your post that your new initiative matches that enemy's initiative. For this to work best, it will help if the GM posts AC/touchAC so players KNOW if their character hit something and don't need to be told by the GM 'Yup, that got through.'</li><li>Because you might post an action with rolls that might no longer WORK by the time your initiative comes up (<em>say your character is going to attack Orc B and someone else kills it in a post made AFTER your post but BEFORE your character's initiative</em>) trust the GM to do his best to adapt your character's action and rolls...So your character might end up moving a few feet and using those same rolls on Orc C, or whatever.</li><li>If your character goes off to do something that doesn't involve the entire party (this includes going off with one other member, at the inn, for a night of let's-find-interesting-ways-to-use-the-lamp-oil) take it to another message forum for time-shifting and it runs at its own time, so the game-IC forum isn't stalled waiting for you all to get through your fifty-to-a-hundred-posts until ""next morning.""</li></ul><br/>Does this sound good, Calrond, everybody?"

They go about in groups and they get reinforcements if they run into something really horrible, but they do try to keep the sewers from becoming quest central for epic characters seeking a challenge. In really horrible and cold winters, your encounter table will probably be full of a lot of ""homeless vagrant, shivering and smelly."" They're bad, but not so bad that people don't use them as shelter or as ways to conduct illegal smuggling (since they run under the entire city and connect with the ocean and with the Underdark). So it's totally realistic that the party could turn a corner, weapons ready, and find ourselves confronting a bunch of bootleggers or even some noble and his bodyguards with his nose buried in a sachet full of perfume and potpourri, on his way to or from some whorehouse or other business transaction he doesn't want to be seen visiting, or some lower-class prostitute, rogue, fence, whatever.<br/><br/>Having said that, one CAN find some pretty horribad things in there if one's luck runs out. Stuff which has snuck up from the depths of the Underdark, or come in from the ocean. Ghaazala isn't afraid to come down into the sewers alone, and even to mug the occasional other wanderer when she needs information about what's going on (as earlier). But she can see in the dark and has plenty of tricks up her sleeve (including sounding like a small group of mail-armored people jingling and rattling rather than just one). She's a little more nervous with a team behind her using lights and talking a lot (sound carries over water, and in enclosed stone-walled spaces...and the sewers are a combination of both), and with the Watch being in high alert and suspecting that something awful might be sneaking around.<br/><br/>But her reactions to the idea that the first sneaky thing they encounter in the sewers doing nasty stuff is (1) their target, or (2) obviously about to outsmart and ambush them are going to be not merely skeptical, but a little bit incredulous. Everybody can get hit crossing the street, there's some inherent risk, but people don't stop trying anyway, because most people succeed. During the Ripper years in London, people still went out at night. After all, Red Jack only took one or two, and nothing of that sort had ever happened to<em>them</em>personally...So just because the sewers are a bit dangerous, I wouldn't expect them to be at all untravelled, even by 'normal people'.<br/><br/>In the same vein, Ghaazala's sense of things is that the Watch is concerned by the combination of the fires and the disappearances with emphasis on the fires. Row-building fires that get out of control endanger the city. On the other hand, in a city the size of Waterdeep, twenty vagrants going missing in a night is practically normal. So she's assuming it's the combination of the two in such close proximity that has the Watch spooked (but with an emphasis on ""stop the arson"" more than on ""stop the snatchers"").<br/><br/>That's just my interpretation and what I remember from a couple of other campaigns set in Waterdeep...Which doesn't mean Calrond's sewers are identical, obviously.<br/><br/>Thoughts?"

Things need to stay moving, but time needs to be given to allow everyone a chance to put in a post. Conversations in particular have been and will continue to be a problem in PBP, but at the same time, the ""playing"" part of role-playing is largely dialogue and conversation. I understand how intimidating it can be to come back after even 12 hours and see 15 or 30 post in a thread, but I tend to think that it's part of the price of having an active, dynamic and long lived game. Scenes that involve just two (or three) characters that doesn't really advance the story might do better to be taken to a side thread (or a dozen or more), partiuclarly those that deal with intimate acts.<br/><br/>I admit that I am a frequent poster andd I'm trying hard to curb that tendency and allow time for others to get into the act, so to speak. Unfortunately, I firmly believe that a big part of character development is conversation and not everyone in interested in it; it can slow a game down.<br/><br/>I do agree that the time between the familiar post was very short and care needs to be taken  to not overwhelm the players by moving too fast. In this partiuclar case, I tend to think that it was in regards to a specific question that ultimately was a quick conversation and the options were. ""Stay put."" ""Go home."" or ""Keep moving."" I'm not sure how much time needs to be taken for this kinda decision, but everyone has a right to put in their thougths. I have a bad time with names, for a variety of reasons, and haven't yet associated who is who in character. I'm working onit though.<br/><br/>A posting time frame during an encounter IS very important however. I lean heavily toward a 48 to 72 hour system. The GM post results, players have a set number of hours to respond before the nxt GM post. I'm fully in favor of the GM NPCing a character to adjust for events during a round if either events change what the player wanted to do, or the player doesn't respond in time. A set of ""standard"" actions may be useful in this regard, but perhaps PMing these may be easier to organize them. If you want to attack, or flank bad guy #1, but bad guy #1 is dead by the time you get to make an attack, the GM might take the move to another bad guy that would give a similar opportunity. Wren is built to fight this way; either supporting another player by flanking, or by fienting a bad-guy to get some small benefit to a sneak attack. This where she would be most effective and pretty much what she'll always do. Hell, giving a brief idea of ""standard"" tactics may help to help each other and be more effective in battle.<br/><br/>Anyway, got off topic there. I've rambled enough with no sleep, so I'll bring this to a close now. lol"

The watch was dealing with the arsonist by putting more men on the remaining buildings. The party was asked with finding out who was snatching the newly homeless.<br/><br/>True, a fire in a city like Waterdeep could be serious, but it's containable. A riot because the citizenry suddenly realizes that hundreds have disappeared over a short period of time is a much more serious concern. I would point out that finding bodies in numbers of a dozen to 25 a night may not be out of the ordinary; it could be assumed that there's a new group of criminals trying to put their mark on the city's poorer parts of town (and where bulk goods are stored). discovering that bodies are disappearing is a different and usually more fear generating event. Eventually, it'll become noticed by the thousands of homeless in general that they are a source of large numbers of disappearances and this could spark off things that could burn Waterdeep to the ground. 600 to 800 people is realitively small compared to the city's population, but when has factual numbers ever been involved in rumors? 600 easily becomes 6,000 in the telling.<br/><br/>The watch is being visable with the arson, the obvious threat. We're dealing with the elss obvious and hoping that we can stop it before it becomes a terror element.<br/><br/>Yes, we may see people traveling along the sewers (althought it's as easy to hide a noble in a carriage as it is to wonder the sewers), but then, where are these people? most of an hour moving from the better areas and into the effectd ones and not a sole. Not even flies, it seems. The party would, likely, be considered a normal, cautious escort for some noble or merchant before a group of thieves because of all of the light... maybe even a group of plumbers for all of that. It still seeems odd to me that absolutely nothing has been seen except for half a dozen dead rats in one place.<br/><br/>From Wren's point of view, the thing moving away isn't nessessarily THE badguys, but is something to investigate. The familiar stated that it couldnt' identify what it was and it's moving away at speed. Fair enough... it's not reason to stop moving forward and it's in the same direction. Wren is a sailor with strong rogue background, so some paranoia is part of life. If she's being too cautious because she isn't use to strolling along the sewer, I don't see that as being out of character any more than anyone else being a little jumpy after getting some confirmation that something is going on there. Why be quiet if you're expected to be making noise?<br/><br/>At any rate, what I saw as the parties job is to find the source of the disappearances, and in that, the source of the arsons. The people are a bigger issue because it will, eventually, blow up and there aren't enough troops in town to deal with it... If the city hasn't burned down yet, a single building on fire a night isn't going to burn it down now."

As a result, you might as well just keep moving forward. Either way, the job isn't done yet.<br/><br/>As for a leader, Voloke could do it, but he'd probably need convincing, since he doesn't actually know anyone else in the group.

""The master has an empathic link with his familiar out to a distance of up to 1 mile. The master cannot see through the familiar’s eyes, but they can communicate empathically. Because of the limited nature of the link, only general emotional content can be communicated."" Adrian can get the impression that his familiar saw<em>something</em>, but the familiar can't broadcast back along the empathic link what it was that it found. Adrian can infer from the distance approximately where the familiar spotted something, and can then investigate. If Adrian were to get to within speaking distance with his familiar, it could tell him explicitly what it saw thanks to its ability to speak with its master (which it receives after the wizard is 5th level or higher). So it wasn't that the familiar didn't know what the<em>something</em>was, just that it couldn't relay that to Adrian via the empathic link. (Of course, your characters may not know this, and in some cases probably wouldn't know this, but Adrian definitely would.)"

The familiar itself does improve, but not in the normal, adding hit dice way. The familiar always has half the master's hit points and is treat as having its own or its master hit dice, whichever is more. So a 1/2 hit die animal, the basic familiars, will always use the master's level as their hit dice in calculations where that's a function. In terms of attributes, they only increase in intelligence, but the increase is far in excess of other campanion animals'. Finally, they always use their own or their master's base values for BAB, saves, and skills with their own stats as modifiers."

There seems to be no way to set a default size for the image, so every time you drag something down, you have to manually enter its pixel width and height (shift-double-click brings up a menu to do that, it's the first two numbers on the line under ""CSS""). Additionally, if you want to send something to the bottom of the stack so it doesn't obscure things on top of it, you have to ctrl-double-click it and hit the red ""down"" arrow on the lower right. You can only send things all the way to the bottom. Any time you adjust something it comes to the top again, so this means that if you haven't locked down your background a mis-click can make life 'interesting'. Most of the other menu-stuff has mouse-overs to tell you more-or-less what it does (which is how I figured all this out...The documentation is horribad to nonexistent).<br/><br/>Hitting <enter> saves your changes to a new URL. Then you just paste that URL into the thread and the people after you click it to see what you did...But it doesn't CHANGE the previous images on the previous URL, so you can literally step back through the combat by clicking in 'backwards' order on the links in each person's post.<br/><br/>Where it gets REALLY interesting is you can open up YOUR image that you've saved in someone else's gallery-menu of draggable icons. For example, have a look at<br/><br/>http://beta.ditzie.com/273/528a9533defd7<br/><br/>You'll recognize the number after the last slash as the number from Rez's post. The number before that which we have BEEN using has been 51285, which is my gallery. 273 is a gallery that has ALL of the D&D Monster Manual 1 monsters (wish I'd known before I made my own icon set).<br/><br/>So if you open:<br/>http://beta.ditzie.com/51285/528a9533defd7 (http://beta.ditzie.com/51285/528a9533defd7) you see our melee sewer map with the icons I made and uploaded, and if you go to<br/>http://beta.ditzie.com/273/528a9533defd7 (http://beta.ditzie.com/273/528a9533defd7) you see our melee sewer map with the icons from MM1. If you drag some of those on, then hit enter, and go back to using the 51285 gallery, the MM1 icons will still be there (same as the 51285 icons were there when you opened our fight in the MM1 gallery).<br/><br/>That means if you're willing to sort through all the )(*&#@$#@$#@$ albums on Ditzie in theory you might never need to upload anything. Sometime this week I'll crawl through there looking for things like crates and barrels and other D&D module sets and try to make a brief list of them here.<br/><br/><br/><br/>"

As next round you can perform full attack on wights in melee range and in any position :P. So you can flank and such.<br/><br/>So acting last for this spell is ideal; as after all have moved I give them extra movement and those who act before wights get max possible advantage. I did not use it on Voloke because he could had moved only one possible square for wights where as Serge and Wren have lot more options. With base movement I mean 30'ft (or 40'ft with barbarian). Also this movement ignores your armor slowing down elements but I think none have heavy or medium armor which slows their movement to 20'ft?

Wight #3 beat her trip of 15 with a 21, and attempted to trip her with a 24...And her opposed Strength roll was 23, so she drops the chain rather than being tripped.<br/><br/>I'm kind of pleased that happened, because honestly up to that point she was looking pretty over the top, and she wasn't using any of her more powerful damaging spells. So there's the big weakness...If she tries that crap with enough enemies, it will catch up with her and she'll either end up on the ground or disarmed.<br/><br/>Sim, I have made a new character icon, I've placed it to the side of the current map (http://beta.ditzie.com/51285/5290142dd7fde), to move it for combat position purposes, just drag it to where you want it, hit 'enter' and the map will update and produce a new URL. Paste the new URL into your forum post so others can see the update and that's all you need to do most of the time.<br/><br/>For people who want to DELETE icons, ctrl-double-click them, then in the lower right row in the menu that comes up you will see a giant red ""X"". Click that to delete the icon.<br/><br/>Having said that, it might be good to AVOID deleting character icons when possible, because every time a new icon gets pulled down from the top it has to be manually resized and it's kind of a pain in the butt.<br/><br/>Also, somehow we're missing someone on the map unless I'm miscounting. I see Cail is in the dump stack, but that still doesn't all add up...Aha, it's Saren. Did Saren drop out? It looks like he did. I've deleted his icon.

He was having a love affair with a toaster...<br/><br/>My own character, a semi-buck rogers background guy who managed to get himself launched into space and became a meat popcicle for nearly 70 years. It was an interesting concept and had lots of trouble adjusting to 1, being in a future that had these things like dwarves, orcs and trolls... and that a dog kept talking to him (Dog Shaman). Anyway, he came across a Bell 222 helicopter that was sitting in an abandoned part of the airport and he adopted it and started to restore it.<br/><br/>So, the troll rents the chopper and wanted a tour of Seattle. The gang had taken over an old apartment building as their headquarters and via meathods still unknown to me, the troll learned about it. As the helicopter flew over the 7 story building, the troll opens the door and jumps out at about 500 feet. ""The Belle 222 has x feet of space, and a hanglider takes up x amount of space. He can open it in the helicopter and jump out...<br/><br/>Ok, I was ""What?"" as this troll plumets 300 feet while he's trying to get this hangglider to open properly. He gets it to open and lift just in tme to go face first into a giant ad sign across the street.... there went his glider and he's doing the wilde e. Coyote routine with a triangle of metal in his hands as his momentum carries him across the street, across the roof of the building and slows him just enough to save himself from falling off of the other side.. then, his bag-o-Panther Cannon that was strapped to the glider and his feet decides to swing by and Thwack! right in the kisser... and off he goes...

When I said 'no landmarks' what I meant was, with the GM vanishing unexpectedly and the characters in an isolated locale, we had no change in status. Nothing new on the horizon, no events, etc.<br/><br/>We basically got into the desert and had the GM suddenly vanish for a while. Which left us 'in the middle of the railroad' with no way to roleplay any useful way forward. Thus the applicability to the sewer. Since we're not mapping, it's equally 'trackless waste until we're told otherwise'."

As things go, we have some sense that we are going in the direction that the GM intends and are moving the story along at some pace.<br/><br/>I've seen some really bad mapping as a side note. A party I was in had a map so screwed up by the time that we found the place we wanted, no one could figure out how to get back because mistakes had been made and it became a maze of dead ends and ""I think we've seen this puddle before, see the mold in the shape of ""help?"""

I applied a scenario where Cyric wiped his own memory, lived as mortal and then died (by his own design no less) and as he was brought before Kelemvore to be judged, he had arranged his own life so that he would be godless human (and his deitic powers of deceptions and lies concealed his nature from Kelemvore and anyone).<br/><br/>So Kelemvore cast a god onto wall of faithless and it created paradox which resulted wall becoming shattered! Resulting all faithless souls breaking free and creating a unique breed of undead which had<em>faithless</em>template. Which in short rendered all undead spawns created with these faithless souls who broke free and re-entered Faerun (thanks Cyric who regained his memory in explosion and gated undead onto Faerun) immune to all divine magic and divine powers (including rebuking/turning). Arcane magic works just fine against the undead. But anything from divine source was powerless.<br/><br/>Plaque itself manifests as a curse than disease (so very first victims were paladins who thought the undead 'plaque' was a disease).<br/><br/>Now why Cyric did this? So that he can create alter ego who acts like a good deity and thanks his connection to faithless he can make his clerics powers work on them. Overall though apocalypse was meant as means weaken bonds to other deities and make his new alter ego 'superior' to them with flock of worshippers who sees he is more powerful deity than any other because it defeated the undead plaque (a plaque which he engineered)."

Other differences include being unaffected by sunlight and having none of the weaknesses that vampires have (over and above their undead weaknesses, that is). They don't even<em>need</em>to drain the life out of living creatures to continue existing or to remain active, so they could be stored for any amount of time and be just as dangerous when they're released as they were when they were initially stored (or even more dangerous, thanks to the Evolved Undead template from Libris Mortis). ;)<br/><br/>But it's this line...""Spawn are under the command of the wight that created them and remain enslaved until its death.""...that is the most interesting. Feasibly, one wight could control all of the wights that he created (and all of the wights they create, and so on), without an HD or population limit, as long as that wight is specific with the commands it gives the wights it created. And since they have an intelligence score (unlike zombies), they can be given fairly complex instructions. So keeping them in an area is no more difficult than having the first wight command his underlings to command their underlings (and so on) to ""Wait here until you receive further instructions."" And yes, as Wren realized, killing the first wight would mean that control of all wights would be passed down to the second generation of wights, and depending on a few factors, could allow for some less-intelligent wights to use their newfound freedom to become bands of roving killers, while others may see the wisdom in laying low, at least at first."

Any creature suffering its HD or more in negative levels dies. And rises as a wight.<br/><br/>So, how do you get their graveyards full of victims? All their victims rise as wights, right? I'll go out on a limb and apply the same limitations of<em>animate dead</em>to this process (and to the<em>create undead</em>spells, too). The corpse must be mostly intact. If the wight intentionally mangles it to not be ""mostly intact,"" either before or after killing the creature, no wight rises. I wouldn't let this happen in the course of normal D&D combat, though. Coup de grace would be an exception, but normal (ie, it involves PCs and no special effects like vorpal weapons) combat doesn't allow for this.<br/><br/>But yeah, a wight general, acting alone or for a necromancer....

It would also seem to go against what makes wights scary in the first place. They're no challenge to mid-level characters as they're statted in the Monster Manual, but just one of them could potentially turn a village of low-level Commoners into an undead mob overnight. Considering the fact that the Monster Manual's zombies don't have this power, it looks like wights are the intended go-to monster for undead survival-horror style games, along with ghouls. It's the exponential growth that makes some undead scary and lets one sneaky wight create a bloodthirsty horde in a matter of hours. And what if the characters decided to go investigate the old mine shaft rumored to contain treasure instead of the claims of a man hiding in the village graveyard? Then the Commoner friends and family they left behind may be a little different when they return from greedily searching the old mine shaft."

What they go to the brothels for (and yes, some of these establishments are private clubs, particularly those specializing in S&amp;M, mate-swapping, or inter-species congress) is for ‘added fun.’<br/>By this term, I mean: striptease performances, playacting and dressing up in outlandish costumes (“Hah, my pretty, I’m not merely Rorold the fat butcher from down the street - - I’m Ravagar Wanderglar, dread pirate of the Serpent Seas!”), the chance to gamble (betting one’s body, temporary freedom, or items of clothing) or gambol (yes, dance), make love to music, have access to situations visitors wouldn’t dare try outside a club (mock rape of a priest or priestess or ruler or other authority figure), making love on a tomb, crossdressing, eating food off the bodies of strangers, and so on), and the chance (particularly in masked revels) to enjoy someone else in a small community who’s married to someone else - - to ‘find’ each other in public, or even be seen heading off to a tryst, would cause a scandal, but going to the brothel separately and getting up to all manner of hijinx there, even (in some cases) if observed by fellow community members, is ‘okay’ (the brothel is accepted as ‘outside’ normal society, a safety valve in which folk can temporarily set aside their usual public manner and status).<br/>I see the popularity of brothels in the Realms as based on the Faerûnian love of play: as in our real world, children lose many opportunities for playing as they grow up (unless they can shift into participation in a sport, or acting, or performing and use that as an outlet), but brothels offer a place to go on playing, lifelong.<br/>Some people never engage in a sexual physical act at a brothel, but visit them often. Some of these go to watch the fun (ogling), some go for the chance to flirt or make lewd suggestions they’d never dare utter elsewhere, and some just like to chat or play cards or drink with others while naked, or while crossdressing, or while pretending to be of a race or profession (example: the pirate above) that they’re not. Some folks frequent festhalls to play tag, or blindfolded tag, or all sorts of other games that again, are play but not necessarily sexual.<br/>(And then of course there are also brothels that are ‘simple whorehouses,’ particularly in ports where sailors make landing after long voyages without access to ‘fresh faces,’ or caravans disperse ditto.)</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div>"

A knife is a short blade, usually less than 6"" long and without a significant point. A dagger was often 9"" to 12"" in length andsharper on the tip. Everyone and their dog carries a knife as it was a tool with minimal combat usage. You could kill with it, but there were few places that it could be used effectively. A dagger was too long to use for eating, shaving wood or other uses. (BTW, a knife would of been used as a shaving tool if no actual straight razer type impliments were avalable.)<br/><br/>So, when you see those short sheathes that everyone carried, those were knives.

Sure, from someone watching you from the side, you're just opening an empty sack.<br/><br/>The handy haversack is different in that there is an enchantment that allows the user to pull out whatever they intend to pull out without having to dig for it. It doesn't mean that the bag would appear empty to someone looking down into it, just that if you reached into it with the intent to pull out a specific item that is held in the bag, it would be magically put into your grasp.<br/><br/>To everyone's knowledge, and Adrian knows this for a fact, there is no detect magic spell in play, but considering the clientele of The Copper Cup (wealthy and middle class locals and adventurers looking to spend coin), the staff knows that magical means of concealing weapons exist, including secreting them away in an extradimensional space, and that allowing guests to bring outside weapons into the main section of the building could potentially be very bad for business.

You're not actually looking into the bag at all, but into a pocket universe of a size that depends on the type of bag you bought, and happens to be lined with the same material as the bag (so that it can be turned inside out). That way the bag always appears empty from the outside, but not to someone peering down into it through the opening. That's why someone has to fish around in the bag of holding to pull out what they want - they can feel the stuff inside and they're trying to grab the thing they want. And if they can feel around inside of a bag of holding, they can also see the stuff into it. The handy haversack is only different in the shape and material of the bag and the enchantment that brings the item the user wants to the top of the bag. You can still fish around in it to see what's in it, but it's only when you have the intent to grab something specific in the bag that it leaps to the top of the pile.<br/><br/>So to someone looking down into the bag, they'd be able to see what was inside."

A very few have been recorded in an audio format by the National Library of Congress for the National Library Service (NLS), but these were almost all from the 80's and incredibly difficult to navigate.<br/><br/>In more recent years, nearly all of the main guides/handbooks have been available in a PDF format, but as these are the same price as a paper version, I can't afford them unless i can get into an actual group that will run for at least a couple of years. As an example, I bought nearly all of the Champion (Hero System) guides several years ago because I was in a table-top group that both used them and ran for 4 years before RL pulled the group apart. Sadly, I haven't been able to find either a 3.5E or Pathfinder game close enough to get to on a local basis.... so I haven't considered buying the books. The D20 sources are usually good enough for my needs though.<br/><br/>Something of special note, when 3.0 was released, they did release it on CD as well. I have that CD someplace, but I disliked what they did with it and thought that the new version was too combat driven with limited role-playing potential.<br/><br/>I'll look at the website and see if I can make heads of tails of it. hehehe"

From the SRD:<br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;"">A spell-like ability has no verbal, somatic, or material component, nor does it require a focus or have an XP cost. The user activates it mentally. Armor never affects a spell-like ability’s use, even if the ability resembles an arcane spell with a somatic component.</span><br/><br/>Spell Like Abilities just require a little concentration. You can add in effects - motions, glowing eyes, auras of power & all sorts of cool things - but in truth, the monster just thinks for a few seconds & suddenly all manor of magic just happening. I suppose the AoO is based on the mental focus & concentration required to just 'pull' reality into order under your will & make magic happen.<br/><br/>It's really frightening to imagine - no clue, no sign. Just a moments pause & suddenly meteors are falling. Demons vanish. Devils burn & Angels heal the masses. All in mere moments. Although, it's much more fun when you add in some shiny effects :P"

So, chill.<br/><br/>Secondly, yes, Casting Defensively is indeed a common assumption. Most players and GM's assume a caster is casting defensively for the very reason that most casters (Clerics aside), cannot afford to get hit - lest they up and die or come near it. Especially since most Monsters and or PC melee oriented types tend to deal specked damage. I certainly run my NPC's with as much damage as they can because the PC's sure as hell will be. Thus to assume that someone is not casting defensively would garner its fair share of, ""What?"", from everyone involved.

I'm apparently terrible at writing table code & took 5 attempts to get it right... I'm writing up a template so I don't have to do that ever again...<br/><br/>Though after that I realized I'd made a mistake - the feat for my wings required an extra point of reflex save (+2 base in every save & I had +1 reflex) so I had to change my classes to Barbarian 6, Champion 2. Previously, I had snuck in a level of Annointed Knight & a little theme with alchemy into her story. I liked the idea of etching with acids & chemicals to create vivid colors even in metals. It really adds to her worship of the Goddess's of beauty - they are all tied into art. It also helped explain her transformations from an Aasimar into something more angelic. She's brewing up holy potions & magics to unlock her true angelic potential. But the feat that gave her wings wouldn't work so I just gave up & went with Barbarian instead. Of course, then her skills, feats & saves all changed. So I ended up having to double check most of the numbers on the sheet... And I juggled her feats slightly so she has less of them - and no more problems with Improved Trip. I just couldn't imagine Cheyenne wielding the kinds of weapons that were used in trip attacks. I really like the imagery of an angelic character with a greatsword that glows with a holy white flame.<br/><br/>One little +1 being out of place & suddenly there is a pile of maths... *sobs* And everyone updated threads today so I had to juggle posting vs fixing the sheet...<br/><br/>Cheyenne is pretty much the same though. Slightly different +1's here & there. I just... It's over. The sheet is done. Please don't have any more mistakes in it...

I mind have passed the save (it adds like a +2) - but as long as I'm inside the 10' range of the circle, mind control effects & spells from evil creatures are suppressed until Cheyenne leaves it. So Cheyenne can act freely.<br/><br/>GM - am I within 10'? I thought people were spread out & making ranged attacks sorry. Because if I am I'd be giving that vampire a good spanking.<br/><br/>Speaking of Magic Circles, the best use is to cast them on yourself - OR the evil being. Then everyone close to them is immune to their evil mind stealing powers! Though they do get a will save to resist the circle being cast. And you have to touch them... Which can be bad... But it's funny when it works! :P"

They can backstab. Their weapon selection is tripe. They have low HP. Their AC is generally junk. Flanking opponents is not easy. Rogue abilities are often worthless or broken, like Evasion/Improved Evasion (yay I dodge a Fireball in a ten foot hall way, taking absolutely no damage... Um no). Backstab is one of their biggest abilities and it usually ends up not happening and most of the dangerous baddies are immune to backstab. Rogue's usually end up being skill ""whores"" as I've heard people refer to them. While in an RP heavy game, that's not a bad thing per say, they still end up generally useless in every other part of the game.<br/><br/>Despite the Rogue being so atrocious, like Monk, I still take Rogue levels for the skill points in games that will have a lot of RP. Yet, I am gimping myself. Selena is not nearly as potent as she could be if I had only taken 1 level of Rogue and or none.<br/><br/>So why do I take Rogue? D&D 3.5 basically assumes that everyone, other than a Rogue, is blind as a bat, deaf as someone with shot out ears, cannot search worth a damn, cannot tell a lie from a truth, can't lie to save their own hide, are as stupid as dirt, and generally are anything but above average like a hero is supposed to be.<br/><br/>Thus, I take Rogue to make a more balanced ""realistic"" hero type. Especially in a Drow campaign. If you took the classes as they were, the Rogue would be ruling the Drow world, not the Cleric. Drow society is reliant more on verbal/mental cunning than it is physical prowess. A Rogue could lie his way through everything and tell when someone is trying to horribly lie to him. Thus he could plan the demise of everyone else, carry it out, and no one would none the wiser.<br/><br/>That is why Drow like Jarlaxle and Gromph hold so much power despite being males. They are actually smarter than the female clergy who rule the city. They, of course, still have to tread carefully, but they nevertheless hold immense power - something the females begrudge them for. Yet, the female's aren't stupid either. They can see the games Gromph and Jarlaxle play.<br/><br/>So basically, having no skills translates into an unrealistic representation of life, especially in Drow life. One has to have Spot, Listen, Bluff, Sense Motive, Diplomacy, and Knowledge Skills, to actually function in a realistic none-gimped fashion."

Like you, I tend to think that 3.5 didn't solve the problems of 2nd ed so much as just make everything other than spellcasters unattractive. But, no one else was picking up the need for a rogue in a party, and a party needs a rogue in the same way it needs a thug to pound heads in melee (fighter), but I didn't want to be such a whimpy character and I've always loved the witty, fast flash and swagger of a swashbuckler. It's pretty much half and half right now.<br/><br/>I agree flanking is difficult to do, but bluff and feints are only slightly better... At best Wren is a light fighter, but when she's in melee, she should be fairly impressive... if she can get into the fight.<br/><br/>Anyway,Every game I've seen of either 3.5 or Pathfinder have been so magic heavy that I think that one decent rogue actually could take the whole bunch if he/she could just sneak to melee range."

While the Rogue as a whole is useless, the way the skill system is set up, the Rogue is needed in a party. Otherwise the party lacks most of the social/utility skills required for a basic campaign.<br/><br/>I wouldn't give the Rogue too much credit. Smart Wizard and Cleric players could either survive a sneak attack or would see it coming. Magic can literally do just about anything between all of the splat books. Then again I'll contradict myself a bit and say that 3.5 is so ridiculously unbalanced, I wouldn't be surprised if a Rogue did take them down. Heh.<br/><br/><br/>Oh and in my defense on not reading the posts, in reference to the Imp, that knowledge would have been metagaming. Since she doesn't know anything, I can't act without information that she sees or hears in game.

My view is a bit different, it's only meta gaming if you use the information in a way that is inconsistant with what the character can gain from observasion. In this case, backpost would only really of given you information that the imp looks like a winged cat and meows a lot. But, your point is taken. I missed that the cat didn't have feathered wings; with the character's theme, I would of expected bat wings, but it's a case of me assuming something rather than my knowing something that the character didn't. The character knew something that I didn't. ;)<br/><br/>AD&D 2nd had a significant imbalance against magic-users and toward non-human races and non-fighter classes. The magic-user couuldn't do much for the first 4 or 5 levels of real note and there were dozens, hundreds of house-ruled fixes. What 3.0 and 3.5 did was to slant things too much in favor of the magic-user by giving them more perks and better, more potent spells. Instead of just 1 spell at 1st level, the mage could have as many as 5 and some of those were pretty heavy hitters for the level. In the mean time, the melee types got sacked in the range of capibilities and the specialist (Ranger/rogue) became shadows of themselves. I was accused of saying that 3.0 was too combat oriented because all of the feats of value were combat or boosted combat and there wasn't anything else that most of the classes could do but be protection for the mages as they cast spells. 3.5 attempted to fix it in some way... I'm not sure how... but it's still heavily in favor of spell-slingers and I've been told 4.0 is even more of a mess.<br/><br/>I tend to think of fighters as simple thugs, they don't have enough to do anything RP wise but talk and flex muscles. .. relatively speaking in regards to skills, rogues get tons of skills, but are all but ineffective in a fight and the other classes have similar issues. The cleric and magic-user... lots of skill points, lots of spells, and lots of little perks to make them more awesome in their magic.<br/><br/>I will agree that unless you have a party of classes with dark vision, and everyone but humans do, and gets really smart about camps, are sitting ducks. My TOS for characters setting camp is to carry a lot of dark string, a couple of dozen little bells and sleep in a tree anyway. The string and bells MIGHT warn of approaching bad guys, and most rarely look up into trees for sleeping adventures.<br/><br/>Oh, and please, can we not talk about fireballs in stairways? My first character (and the whole party) got roasted by a party mage who decided that the best way to stop a bunch of goblins from chasing them up a tower was to fireball the stairs behind them... It wasn't pretty.<br/><br/>On a totally unrelated topic, I wonder if anyone had traditions when they played table top for welcomeing new players. My first group had a nice one.<br/><br/>I was 18 when I started playing and got a sbuscription to US Calvary, a catalog for military and police items... including practice hand-grnades. They were identical in size, weight and feel as a real grenande. I rigged a spring under the spoon and my little brother, who was well known for his temper, got to play with it.<br/><br/>What we would do, is when we got a new player in our group, at some point in the first night, he would play at getting all pissed off at something a character did, pull the grenande from his bag, pull the pin and the spoon goes flying off with a little ""Ting!"" He would get all wide eyed and ""Oh shit!"" and toss it into the lapof the new player while everyone scattered... we were kids, so we thought that it was funny...

You can only use knowledge that a character gains within the game. I.E. observation, hearing about, reading. Anything else is pure metagame.<br/><br/>Oh yeah, I knew to an extent, how bad AD&D was. Magic users were weak as snot to begin with, but got godly at later levels. Paladins were better though, from what I've been told. The thing about magic, though, isn't really the fault of the game designers. The type of magic that D&D uses is innately just more powerful. Thus magic will always be more powerful. To nerf it, would not accomplish anything but going against the way magic works in the D&D universe. There is no fixing magic. They would have to entirely redesign the way magic works and that would fundamentally shatter the rest of the D&D universe.<br/><br/>Cleric's and Mages do not actually get lots of skill points. They are both just as gimped as a fighter. 2+Int mod. Same as a fighter. The only reason it may look like a Wizard gets more, is because Intelligence is their primary stat. Cleric's can use Int, but not really at the same time. I prefer a Warrior Cleric style. Because Cleric's spells aren't very offensive and it gets rather boring just healing and casting the occasional buff."

It completely redesigned the system. If you looked at how 2nd ed worked and how 3.0 work, they are two totally different systems mechanically and much in substance. I still think that the designers went overboard with spell casters and made them too powerful, which is why everyone plays them now as opposed to a more balanced class make-up in eariler editions. when I played pre-3.0, it wasn't unusual to have a spread of classes, with Clerics being the hard to get class. Since getting into games on E, anything but a cleric is rare, and everyone wants to play the new races. No dwarves at all (I love dwarves), elves are rare and forget halflings.<br/><br/>Anyway, you can't make a system perfectly balanced and I must of gotten the skill points from Pathfinder; it at least seems to be a little more balanced in that regard, but has it's own set of problems. 3.5 and PF are suppose to be virtually the same game, but the more I play 3.5, the more difference I see between the two. PF is more giving/foregiving in the classes but 3.5 is actually a little less wonky regarding magic.The combat types still come out hind-tit in the end and so on. The big difference clas wise is that they salvaged the Ranger and made it actually relatively on par with other classes. The rogue is still weak, and the additional fighter feats just pushes the fighter to become more combat oriented without giving them anything to balance them anywhere else.<br/><br/>You can find practice grenades on line for relatively cheap prices.They're about the size of a tennis ball and have a detonated firing mechanism, so you can't really rig them to make them active. I have a pineapple on a base. The pin has a plastic tab with the number 1 on it and on the base is a sign that reads, ""Complaint Department, please take a number.""<br/><br/>We were young and in the mid 80's, it was amazing what kinda harmless mischief we could get into."

From what I have looked at, it is exactly the same. Spell slots and the spells functioning effectively the same. I am not vet of AD&D, but I have done some curious looking. The main difference between the systems for me, is that AD&D is much more mathematically challenging for those who aren't good at number crunching. My eyes glaze over, for the most part, when I start trying to read the rules for AD&D. Part of that could be attributed to the fact that I know how 3.5 works. While I'm not so familiar with AD&D.<br/><br/>Yes, very true. No system can be entirely balanced. No matter how magic is done in a fantasy system, it will always be more powerful by virtue of its versatility. Unless you just make a magic system that is simply an Elemental nuker with little to no utility spells. Even then, the mage would likely have a slight edge.<br/><br/>Well you can't really blame people for wanting to play new things. I love Dwarves, but they have been used and abused. No different than Elves - which people really harp on for some inane reason. Races like Tieflings get gobbled up because they don't generally work in most campaigns and because LA tend to mess up the fragile balance thanks to the Imperious Class system."

Nobody plays 20th level fighter (most dip it up to 4th level or multiclass to PrC soon as possible).<br/><br/>Casters being gods is not just because later stage combat power but sheer utility they provide; without mages in party some challenges are plain impossible to do (like planar travel).<br/><br/>But the holy four; mage, scoundrel, healer and fighter, is still viable but needs more work for it to happen so other players are not dead extra weight for god alike mage (or healer who is likely cleric or favored soul or druid).<br/><br/>Ofc martial adepts trump down any fighter based class off hand and the direction was right if normal fighter would had been given those stuff since beginning.

I do just as much math in 3.5 as I did in 2nd, it's just laid out differently in that regard. There are much more math heavy games out there that were as popular as AD&D was and I still meet people who have tried 3.5 and even 4 and prefer 2nd ed because in some ways, it's simpler to create a character and play.<br/><br/>The big difference between 2nd and 3.5 magic systems is the number of spells that you get. True, the progression (one 1st level spell at 1st, two 2nd level spells and a2nd level at 3rd, etc) and the spells are more or less the same, but in AD&D, you didn't get bonus spells for INT, WIS or CHA. You didn't just automatically know any spell you wanted and what you did get for higher int was a chance to have higher level spells later in the game.<br/><br/>As an example. at 1st level, a wizard or claric got 1 spell a day. That was it. You blew your wad in one bang and for the rest of the day you were pretty much trying to not get run through by a colbald. For high int, 18, for example, you had a higher chance to learn a spell and could, in time, learn the max level spells, if you could roll the percentile dice and make the roll.<br/><br/>In D&D 3.5 (as far as I know) and Pathfinder, you start off at 1st level with 1 spell, true, but you don't have to ""learn"" the spell to use it, and for high INT, you get bonus spells a day and all you really need to get the highest level spells, eventually, is a stat of 16. Again, no chance of not learning a spell the first time you see it, you automatically know it as you have no chance of failure to understand the spell. So, you could get up to 4 spells a day thanks to a ability bonus, which is a significant improvement over 2nd ed.<br/><br/>To further differencate between the two magic speaking. Both clerics and wizards were restricted bythe types of weapons and armor that they could use. If you wanted to be in the front lines, you had limited choices on how to do it and remain alive. I don't know if the hit dice are different for mages between the two versions. AD&D gave a mage 1D4 HP with a max con bonus of 2, so 6 HP, sucky armor options and basically, a knife or a staff as weapons. If you dual or multi-classed, you could use more weapons, but your armor was still restrictive. If you wanted a fighter/mage to stand up to the enemy, you either had to use one of your precious spells for defense, or take your chances and knowing that anything on the battlefield could cut you in half without much trouble.<br/><br/>In 3.5, the range of weapons is much broader, and you get feats to add to that, either inmagic or combat and if you're willing to pay for it, have a fairly decent armor selection that gives a relatively minor spell failure chance.2nd didn't give you that. Spells just did not work in most armors.<br/><br/>So, at a basic look, no there's not much difference between the two. Once you play 'em and get into the mechanics, the 3.5 wizard is much beefer than in AD&D."

Also if you multiclassed, you lost your spellcasting ability in new class until the levels in new class eclipsed or were over your old one (and gained other features also depending how near your eclipsing the old class and only humans could multiclass)."

The other classes suffer and you suddenly see parties that are 75% spell caster. Our own party has more spell casters or characters with magical abilities than non-spell casters on a ratio of 2 or 3 to 1. I admit that not having to play wizard protector all of the time helps, but when wizards can dish out 3 or 4 tiimes the damage than a fighter, rogue or ranger at the same level, the imbalance seems pretty clear. One of the first games I played in, a mage tossed a 10D10 fireball at 6th level while the two fighters in the party was maxed out at less than 2D10 with feat and strength bonuses... with one target at a time as opposed to a dozen.<br/><br/>Anyway, I would note, in regards to the dire bats, that Wren has not approached, or even looked at the bats. She's actively moving away from them and the last thing she's going to do is be seen with them. This is mainly because they are monsters and even though summoned and controled, the blow back is going to hurt... alot. They are going to cause a panic and a lot more trouble than it's worth and she doesn't want to be pained with the same bloody brush when the towns people mob them. She's also very much against 3 going up against a second vampire and an unknown number of creatures in someone's home territory... so she's gong for the rest of the party. If they'll come along after being left behind.<br/><br/>Regarding ""evil"" races and the reaction of NPC's is, I feel, spot on. On the occasions that I've run, I've made it a point to tell players that if ou play a race with a bad, or unpopular reputation, you're going to get the bad with the bonuses. A drow is going to be looked upon with distrust at the very least, outright hostility at worst and the character is going to have a really hard time. I know a lot of players and DM's tend to cover over this side of things, but I'm a firm believer in it adds to the story and if you don't want the negative with the advantages, don't play the races. If you walk up to a city gate with horns and hooved feet, you're going to get a bad time by the guards and an even harder time finding a place to sleep. No one wants to be seen associating with a demon, or demon spawn. No one wants to be painted as being connected to a drow or even worse, a half-demon drow. Walking down a street of people who don't know you should get looks and people making space around you... or even rotten food thrown at you if there's been troubles of late. I don't make it impossible, but I make you work for the right to play the character with all the neat perks and not so nice reputation. The character shouldn't have an easy time until/unless he/she's earned a reputation to midigate the image. Dritz is an excellent example and it does add to the story, the RP and the reason why you're playing the character that you are."

It wasn't worse because of spellcasters, though. WotC actually managed to dumb spellcasters down, along with everyone else. All classes were basically cookie cutters with two or three slight variants that were essentially fluff and very little game mechanics. Spellcasters dealt as much damage as a fighter, but were weaker. It was just plain silliness.<br/><br/>All classes had At Will powers/abilities/skills, Encounter powers, and Daily. A Wizard's spells in the end were more or less no different than a Fighter's abilities. Magic could still do things a Fighter couldn't, but it was so insignificant, it was boring and stupid.<br/><br/>There was no diversity among any of the classes. What little they had to make them different was so small as to not matter. 4.0 was basically the 12 years hack and slash wet dream of RPG's. People get totally crazy when its put like that, but its the honest truth. 4.0 had no weight. It was a hallow shell that couldn't handle a sophisticated combat. It devolved into a character just spamming At Will's and nothing but combat with fake feeling RP (related to classes/fluff mechanics).<br/><br/>People cling dearly to the ""fact"" that 4.0 was just as fluff and RP friendly as 3.5, but the fact is the system was so pigeon holed that everything felt absurdly arbitrary and so alike, that anyone with a fertile imagination would eventually get stifled by the lackluster unimaginativeness involved in its creation.<br/><br/>It also felt really strangely like a video game. The way the mechanics worked, especially the at will, encounter, and daily powers functioned, made it feel like I was just playing a cheap D&D game on the console or computer.<br/><br/>Now there were some interesting concepts and or mechanics, like saving throws being an AC to beat instead of the player having to beat a DC.<br/><br/>The whole reason 4.0 failed so miserably was because it lacked the diversity that 3.5 has in abundance. Regardless of Spellcasters ruling supreme, there is still a crap ton of material for none-spell casting classes to utilize. The fluff/RP has meat.

That's not to say that she can't be friends with them, just that as far as magic goes, most of them are more arogant than she feels is warrented. Spell throwers have a skill to sale, just like everyone else, it's just one with funny handmovements and wierd words, but that doesn't make them better than an honest woman who uses a blade.<br/><br/>She also has most of the normal societial views on things, except for sex, she's a very liberated woman in that regard, but to her, a Drow is a Drow is a Drow. If said Drow proves him/herself trustworthy or of the goodly side, she'll come to trust him/her in time. It's the same way for half-demon, 1/4-demon, 1/32-demon. They have a reputation of being bad, so until they show otherwise, Wren holds them at arm's length and watches them like a hawk. If they show that fighting evil, or living a goodly life isn't just a con-job, she'll accept and even grow to like one or two. But, as it's suppose to be part of the particular races to have mistrust, I feel it's not uncalled for early on.<br/><br/>Anyway,it hasn't occured to Wren to introduce herself at this point, there hasn't been time. ;)"

I can't speak completely for the magic users, but they are probably running low on spells at this point and will need some time to rememorize spells.

Now indeed succubus is not combat monster, but nor is imp but saw how useful my imp was? Succubi have nice spell-alike abilities (ethereal jaunt no less, she's effectively spectral scout). Also with feat choice she is decent social infiltrator/manipulator (honey pot basically). vs undead she may not be much use at all but if we face any living foes...well, they are screwed then :P.<br/><br/>Plus greater teleport at-will allows run errand shopping and she damn sure can haggle prices down against any merchant :D.

But GM said 'bound succubus count as cohort' so I assumed PC wealth could be used. But GM decides; will he let PC controlled succubus have 13,000gp or 7,200gp. Benefit with first one is that my succubus has ring of mind shielding and thus she would not register 'evil outsider' on paladin radar.<br/><br/>Also Waterdeep has all alignment open policy (so it's not lawful good only). I think overall they can accept the planar binding so long said person does not cause 'trouble' with their minions (this case let succubi level drain population or perform crimes). Some may question is it forced slavery (and slavery being illegal in Waterdeep) but with case of planar binding it's more sketchy as fiend has a choice not accept it (although this case I had coerced heavily succubus to accept the deal).<br/><br/>Overall I think there would be little to no arguments direct law wise but ofc as paladin you dislike associating with evil...so thus Adrian is tight lipped about nature of his companion(s).

He has no levels in Paladin, so he's not compelled by a Code of Conduct to not associate with evil outsiders/destroy evil outsiders. His background doesn't even mention fiends, so he lacks a Tragic Backstory Reason to hate demons/devils in particular (he'll have more issues with my character when we level up and I start binding Zyceryl, honestly, with all that residual tentacle-outsider trauma). Simply being Lawful Good does not mean 'Must Smite Evil On Sight' - that's the whole point of NOT having an inflexible code of conduct, you get to make judgement calls. Dale won't lower himrself to the taint of bargaining with dark powers, but mindlessly butchering them on sight, even ones who have been enslaved into aiding Good by non-Evil summoners, is not a Good act at all. Not to mention that while she would be a Succubus, and we know OOC she is evil, without a Detect Alignment/Evil spell Dale IC can't be certain. Non-evil Succubi are possible, if vanishingly rare, so he might just be committing a straight-up racist murder.<br/><br/>"

He can make decisions, when they're of absolute necessity, to work with Evil creatures and won't fall due to it, but far and wide unless he's forced to be circumstance, he prefers to smite them due to the danger they pose of affecting and corrupting the people around them simply by their presence and influence. It's not mindlessly butchering them on sight; it's ending their ability to corrupt people and inflict pain and misery on good, decent people. And as you said, non-evil succubi are vanishingly rare. I don't think it would be unsafe to assume that outsiders with the Evil subtype are Evil, especially with how convincing and seductive some of them can appear.<br/><br/>Plus, you don't have to take levels in Paladin to be a Paladin (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0209.html) :P<br/><br/>Also, is the summoned succubus an actual cohort, or simply a bound outsider?"

All he knows is that people sometimes wave their hands, sometimes they don't, and freaky shit happens.

Are missing the lawful nature of the alignment. A neutral or chaotic character would make that distinction, such as robinhood as another suggested. But, a lawful good, or lawful neutral character who sees evil outsiders as an abomination and a threat to order in the world, would never make such a compromise, unless perhaps it was an extreme situation, that they had no rational choice BUT to compromise in. The entire point of the lawful alignment factor is that it makes your character unyielding, unbending, and stalwart in his beliefs. He doesn't bend the law, he doesn't incite chaos, he doesn't tolerate a breaking of his personal code. He dies first.<br/><br/>2: The entire ""I'm gonna whack a mole the succubus the moment I see her true form!"" thing, well to me that would depend on the scenario. Now that both parties have agreed the succubus will be disguised, there is no reason why he would strike. Now, if he did see her mask slip, and he did see that she was a minion of chaos and destruction, then I can't really see where anyone could fault the guy for going all stabby smitey on the fiend.<br/><br/>BUT, from the sounds of things, the situation is resolved to the three involved parties mutual agreement. So luckily, unless there is an ego flare up somewhere down the line, it looks like our succubus is free to endanger the souls and chastity of mortal souls. :D<br/><br/>By the way, I totally want Anton to wear his angel mask around this succubus now, just to see if he can freak her out with his aura of lawful goodness. lol"

Outsiders are very iconic, and I'd imagine that by this level he's faced more than a few of them. They are, by definition, Evil (with a capital ""E"") incarnate. While he's not a paladin class wise, he's pretty close to one--Crusaders are Paladins without the necessity of a code of conduct. He can make decisions, when they're of absolute necessity, to work with Evil creatures and won't fall due to it, but far and wide unless he's forced to be circumstance, he prefers to smite them due to the danger they pose of affecting and corrupting the people around them simply by their presence and influence. It's not mindlessly butchering them on sight; it's ending their ability to corrupt people and inflict pain and misery on good, decent people. And as you said, non-evil succubi are vanishingly rare. I don't think it would be unsafe to assume that outsiders with the Evil subtype are Evil, especially with how convincing and seductive some of them can appear.<br/><br/>Plus, you don't have to take levels in Paladin to be a Paladin (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0209.html) :P<br/><br/>Also, is the summoned succubus an actual cohort, or simply a bound outsider?<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div>I'm with you on that.

You got something that you wanted, at least some of us are asking that you don't get bent out of shape because it's not the bad-ass that it could of been. Combat is not the issue, a succubus has far more power out of combat than any 3 of the party."

You burn a feat to get Improved Familiar, and the familiar is already considered to be part of the balance of the wizard class (at least at low levels before they lose all ability to balance against most other classes). What you'd effectively have in a summoned (bound, called, etc.) succubus is an (at least temporary) cohort that does your bidding.

But... for system design reasons, I dislike the very concept of a cohort who's basically an extension of a PC, and thus effectively almost doubles the power that the individual PC brings to the table.<br/><br/>EDIT: While the Savage Species rules are a decent place to start, yes, we should use the 3.5 version of the race and not the 3.0 one.

Think about how others percieve your actions IC, it's the only way that they can respond IC.<br/><br/>A story I've told many times may bear repeating.<br/><br/>I played with a guy once ho played a dwarf who kept disappearing into the background whenever there was an engagement. He was, for reasons I don't get, moving 60' away so that he could somehow use some unknown Dwarven trick to get a bonus on an attack if he starts 60' away... By the time he got out 60', the fight was usually over and the dwarf returned to the party... ""Where you been?"" He didn't want to say so the only conclusion that the whole party could make was that the dwarf was a coward and sneaking off to avoid a fight. The players knew what was going on, but the characters didn't... the dwarf player was pissed off all of the time, but it was because IC and OOC are seperte and we all try to keep them so.

It did not go well I tell you :P. That's why I am asking that better than one tank is two tanks (and legion devils can spread out and still able benefit from shared HP pool and each individual legion devil gets my CL as extra HP...which is applied to said pool also).<br/><br/>One tactics with summoner is to summon fodder (and thus less need for healing spells) and legion devil just happens to be a good fodder. Steel devil is immune to death effects and mind-affecting and thus makes ideal guys summon if facing enemy spellcasters (more so when they chant and are away from party casters).<br/><br/>Enemy would either forced deal with my summons (either force or dispelling) and thus free rest of the party hammer away unhindered.<br/><br/>I just try help the group in deciding what spells to learn, prepare and how use them and I get OOC slandered constantly :P. Now if I had not summoned succubus, we would had been in pinch in regards how find necromancer's hideout without alarming her about it? Or get scout captured? Or how get scout return quickly (even if I had teleported my familiar in it would had spend lots of time sneaking and flying around).<br/><br/>Anyways, my guy is lawful neutral and thus he is not binded neither to evil nor good and thus he views his summoned entities as tools same way how evoker views magic missile as a tool. If there comes later conflict (and probably eventually with succubus) about morals and magic then we hold a discussion about it IC. But before then I hope succubus proves her worth her breasts weight in platinum to the group before then and then group may think it was perhaps a good thing she was binded and called to prime material plane (to aid the group that is)."

""The road to hell is paved with good intentions.""<br/><br/>2. In D&D, the end never justifies the means. In D&D, the act is all that matters from the perspective of good/evil. Even if the succubus helps us a ton and saves the world from destruction or whatever, summoning, binding, and making a pact with her was still an Evil act. Do enough Evil acts and your alignment changes, regardless of what you use the tool for. In reality, a tool isn't evil. In D&D, it can be, and it can change your alignment and influence your actions.<br/><br/>Also, I would agree if we needed a tank, if we were all straight up damage dealers. But my character is built to be a tank, and has the ability to draw aggro towards him without a problem. Making creatures that tank instead of me makes my job pointless, and it would have been better for me to have made a different character if it were going that way."

Now my suggestions about legion devils as tanks or using steel devils or other fiendish outsiders is because there are no Celestial Codex I nor II, but Fiendish Codex I and II.<br/><br/>There are more evil outsiders which are more versatile and useful than celestials in lower levels in summoning/binding list. To able call any meaningful angel I need the 12 HD planar binding or greater planar binding.<br/><br/>Also this game is meant to be zombie apocalypse sort scenario (or should be) and there will come point where having two tanks or merely summon mobs to pin down a zombie horde is ideal. Example we need guard north and south gate but we got only one tank. So I summon creatures tank north or south gate and thus your char is not pointless Ghostwheel nor mine.

If the DM knew about it, then it's partly his responsibility for not giving advice about it, but it's your character and play it as you will.<br/><br/>Everyone has offered valid and well meaning advice and suggestions that you want to take as libel (the appropriate term when in writing) and maligning your character. They are not.<br/><br/>I will simply say, at this point, that Wren, being chaotic good, can see the usefulness, if not agree with the act, of the succubus. As long as Adrian maintains control of her and she performs as ordered and isn't a threat to the party, she won't cause any waves. BUT if Adrian binds any more demons, like the bard, she's out. It's become too much of an issue to have a bunch of demons about her and she would be exceptionally uncomfortable. I would also agree that any rationale about making it ok to replace a member of the party's usefulness by using a creature under Adrian's control makes that character pointless. You can offer all the arguments that you like, the end result is that a player feels like he/she doesn't have a place in the group and their enjoyment of the game suffers so that you can play your character. That simply is not cool. Please consider the others in the group when you are planning things for the future of your character. You're free to summon and bind whatever you want, but there may be conquences that you may not enjoy. If a game stops being fun, I see no point in continuing it. Right now, that is not a concern, but it could become something of an issue."

Even in book of exalted deeds it mentions casting, repeatedly for centuries, protection from evil (or even gate to celestial plane) does not make evil spellcaster good. Nor vice versa. Of course it's positive belief that every good spell cast by such person (or onto said person) steps them towards becoming good.<br/><br/>What matters more is actual actions themselves (like what for I summoned fiends? Save a baby. Thus act is more good than evil despite using a evil spell).<br/><br/>Also what comes to lawful neutral alignment I follow this; http://www.wikihow.com/Choose-and-Correctly-Role-Play-Your-Alignment-in-Dungeons-and-Dragons-V3.5<br/><br/>Or direct quote;<br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><strong>Lawful Neutral:</strong> Lawful neutral people tend to be dispassionate and calculating. They have a set of behavioral guidelines but these guidelines allow for some good and some evil behavior. A lawful neutral character tends to care a lot more about the letter of the law than the spirit. An ideal judge would be lawful neutral, making all rulings based on the letter of the law without an eye towards helping or hurting others or their personal feelings.<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>So my char is non-evil but he is also non-good, game asked for non-evil and allowed neutral alignments. I have taken note that casting planar binding for second demon or devil breaks the party and thus I will not do it as party cooperation is more important than single spell. I took the discussion in advance so I know not even plan to do so.<br/><br/>But with succubus around it also limits my options for planar binding as angels nor eladrins will ever work with succubus (and both have detect evil commonly in use). Not to mention my familiar is imp and thus that can cause problems if my binded celestial spots it and thus hell breaks loose (pun intended).<br/><br/>If it would help, I could enter Malconvoker (http://dndtools.eu/classes/malconvoker/) class and I meet requirements for it already. Also it would help quite a lot in my summoning stuff (and if asking why I use fiendish creatures? Just tell I lie to my summons and deceive evil). That PrC proves a point though that only clerics or divine spellcasters worry more about alignment of their spells and summons than arcanist do.<br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote""><a href=""https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=189056.msg10082304#msg10082304"">Quote from: MistressVoluptas on 05-06-2014, 16:54:05</a></div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote""><br/>xD but still ~ Feed me Seymour~ I needs mai hugs!<br/><br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>You heard her; succubus who works for hug salary!

Most demons would have tried to muscle through or use their Charisma to escape and kill Adrian and keep the imp as an unwilling pet or devise some way to kill it permanently to protect itself. A succubus, in the same scenario, would act more like a devil, and hope to manipulate her way out of the situation (or to cause as much chaos and evil as she can while in the situation).<br/><br/>She's following the letter of the law because she's<em>forced to</em>by the binding spell, and while following the letter of the law and not the spirit would typically be a Lawful Evil thing to do, it is the paradigm she's forced into while operating within the agreement. She'll still try to cause as much chaos and evil as possible, but she has to do it while within the effects of the letter of the rules set down by Adrian in the binding spell.<br/><br/>The difference would be seen much more clearly if it were a demon vs. a devil trying to achieve some goal, rather than signing what someone else wrote (i.e., a devil would write an agreement so that it had loopholes to get out of it and the other party did not; a demon wouldn't draft an agreement at all, but would just coerce someone into doing their bidding without paperwork).

You ultimately decide what your character believes and how they act about it, not the other way around. Someone who will only ever react in one way to something regardless of circumstances isn't a character, they are a caricature.<br/><br/>Your previous example in particular is a bad one because of the Bluff score itself - that is absolutely a 'ridiculous' statement - so in addition to the +20 sense motive bonus, it runs into this clause like any Bluff would.<div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">A successful Bluff check indicates that the target reacts as you wish, at least for a short time (usually 1 round or less) or believes something that you want it to believe.

But it is your decision how he reacts to this false reality...does he enjoy the company of his 'imaginary friends' enough that he'd rather stay asleep? Will he find someone else to free him, because the guy who was murdering him six seconds ago clearly can't be trusted to keep his promises?<br/>The BBEG cannot oneshot you with Bluff no matter how high their check is. Nor can you oneshot an NPC with the same tactics.<br/><br/>Alternatively, some people interpret Bluff as 'you convince the target you are telling the truth'. So you can Bluff the king and say ""I am the true king, you are an imposter', and if you succeed, either he will believe you for 6 seconds then recover his wits, or simply believe that you think you are telling the truth - but you're obviously not, so you must be crazy.<br/><br/>Diplomacy specifically says it only works on Non-player characters. Bluff does not. If Bluff was an NPC-only skill, it would have the same clause Diplomacy does, so barring houserules, you can Bluff PCs. How they react to your bluff is out of your control."

My character will never attack or try to harm another party memeber. He/she will argue, complain, bitch and be a pain in the ass if the buttons get pushed, but he/she will never turn on the party.<br/>2. My character will never steal from the party. (Unless I'm playing a kender, but that's not stealing, it's borrowing and returning an item carelessly lost ;) ).<br/><br/>These are what some people call hard limits. If someone does attack another party member in a physical sense, I'm gone. The game isn't worth the effort of playing at that point. Same thing if someone steals from a character. They have both killed groups far too often.<br/><br/>But, anyway, Wren will stand up between the bad guy and the casters and defend them without hesitation. It's the crewmate thing. When you're out in the middle of nowhere, all you have is each other. She will also argue with someone if they press her buttons and isn't afraid to state her mind. I (and she) can appreciate the need for preperation, which is why she's willing to be the shield.It's expected that if you don't know someone that you don't have a lot of trust in them and some conflict is entertaining and helps character development, but Wren's gone as far as she's going to go; I don't want things to degenerate into a snipping contest because they don't see things quite the same way."

Aldros has spent his entire life learning to be self-sufficient, because he can't trust anyone to know what he is and can trust anyone who does even less. And that's when alien personalities are safely locked away in the corner of his brain instead of up-front and influencing them.<br/><br/>I like playing subtle shifts in binders' personalities based on what vestiges they have active, even without the overt compulsions of a bad pact. Balam is perpetually bitter and spiteful after what happened to it, and while divine casters/servants get the major emnity, it doesn't really trust anyone to follow through on promises of support...and it's also one of the vestiges he binds most frequently, so there's a lot of residual paranoia backing up his natural caution."

Inside many privately-owned buildings is another matter, as are the tunnels of the Metro, and virtually all tunnels below DC. As long as you present yourself to the Prince and get approval to remain in his Domain, you're free to go virtually anywhere outdoors in DC without violating this Tradition.<br/><br/>And a careful reading shows that you don't actually have to get approval each time you enter a new Domain, but only when you enter a new city. The first and, to a lesser extent, the third sentences apply to entering another vampire's Domain if that vampire is not the Prince, though presumably after the Prince has approved your stay. As long as you're ""honoring"" some vampire's Domain (i.e., not breaking things or otherwise acting like an ass), if that Domain happens to be a bar, the other vampire will probably strike up a conversation rather than demand that you pay him or her tribute for entering his Domain. Unless you're Caitiff, in which case you may have to be someone's footstool or lackey for a while. ;)"

She would then feel if she gets Status one dot she has the same implied permission.

What you've effectively done is create a Caitiff who<em>believes</em>in the Traditions of the Camarilla and has decided to rigidly abide by her interpretation of them (because interpretation is all we have without the ability to read minds).<br/><br/>The first Tradition, interpreted literally, would not prevent the Kindred from creating ghouls, but it would make it more difficult. She could create ghouls from those who already know about vampires (so she's not breaking the Masquerade as they already know about it) or she could create a ghoul from someone who doesn't know about vampires by ways other than conventional means (i.e., seduce someone, drug them, feed them her vitae while they're unconscious, and then repeat a few more times). That way, she could effectively have an actual ghoul who doesn't know that she's a vampire or that he or she is a ghoul, just that they are addicted to being with her. (And this would work with a Herd as well, though their addiction wouldn't be as strong as it's only from the ecstasy of being fed upon.)<br/>Now, a less literal interpretation would be ""Don't break the Masquerade,"" which begs the question of what breaks the Masquerade. That is essentially about minimizing the number of people who know about Kindred. If a Kindred tells a kine about their vampiric nature, and if that kine will agree to be a loyal servant, no harm done. If, instead, that kine freaks out and plans to tell everyone they know, that WOULD BECOME a Masquerade Breach, so the Kindred may have to call in a favor of someone who can Dominate the kine and erase that memory (one reason why the Ventrue are so valuable in the Camarilla) or kill the kine him/herself and somehow dispose of the body in a way that also won't draw attention to them, or to the fact that vampires are in the area. If ""Breaking the Masquerade"" means the<em>widespread</em>knowledge of vampires among the mortal population in such a way as to attract Hunters or violence, then everything's fine as long as word doesn't get out. If the kine is killed before he can run his mouth, then the Masquerade was never broken. (The Masquerade is a more ""big picture"" concept than on an individual basis.)<br/><br/>The second Tradition, interpreted literally, would mean that she wouldn't disrespect or challenge the word of another Kindred while she's in their Domain. Nor would she allow someone to do so in her own, which as she's Caitiff could provide for interesting roleplay (LIKE SOCIAL MERITS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO) while they're in her Domain. Pretty self-explanatory.<br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote"">Quote</div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">Thou shalt sire another only with permission of thine elder. If thou createst another without thine elder's leave, both thou and thy progeny shalt be slain.</blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>The third Tradition, above, interpreted literally, would mean that she would have to get permission from her ""elder"" to sire or face Final Death. If she were an unreleased Fledgling, that would be her sire (who may then have to ask upward for permission on her behalf). Now, since her sire is AWOL and she is released as a Neonate, she would proceed up the ""chain of command"" herself to her Primogen. Unfortunately, she is a Caitiff who has not yet been adopted, so she would have to go to the Prince (by way of the Seneschal) for permission to sire. Since she is Caitiff, he may well say ""Not under any circumstances,"" or he may have a few tasks for her to complete before he grants her permission, etc. Needless to say, the ""chain of command"" for this for most Fledgling Kindred would be Kindred -> Sire -> Primogen -> Seneschal -> Prince, and for Neonates, remove ""Sire"" from the chain. ""Elder"" effectively means ""the Kindred that has the ability to grant you permission to sire childer.""<br/><br/>The fourth Tradition does not apply to Altagracia at the moment since she has been released by her sire and she has no childer of her own.<br/><br/>The fifth Tradition effectively means that the Kindred can't<strong>remain in</strong>(not ""enter"", but ""remain in"") another Kindred's Domain without their permission (which means we have to break down what Domain means - the city itself is the Prince's Domain, though many buildings in it are the Domains of other Kindred). The second sentence gives a command to speak to the ruler of a foreign city (a Prince in a Camarilla city) upon entering it, which she is obeying by being in Elysium to speak to the Prince (or his stand-in who has the authority to grant permission to remain in the city, should he not be available). For example, this Tradition doesn't mean that she has to ask permission before entering the Cat's Eye strip club, but that if Joanna told her to leave, she has to leave and get Joanna's permission before reentering. Likewise, if some territorial Kindred has been granted a city block (by the Prince) as his Domain, she can walk down the sidewalk without asking permission, but if he wants to ban her from his city block, he has the authority to do so, backed up by the Traditions which the Camarilla would uphold, and she could then no longer enter his Domain without permission.<br/>As for the ""other sects"" part of the argument, the Camarilla claims all Kindred as members, whether they want to be members or not. It doesn't matter, from the point of view of the Traditions, if a pack of vampires that has claimed one part of town as their own is Sabbat or Camarilla. That city still belongs to the Prince, and if he hasn't granted them that Domain, then they simply don't have it. If they try to defend it and either cause trouble that could break the First Tradition, sire more childer, breaking the Third Tradition, or go farther and kill a Kindred, breaking the Sixth Tradition, then they'll be punished under the law of the Camarilla with Final Death.<br/><br/>The sixth Tradition is pretty self-explanatory too.<br/><br/>And that's my ruling on the Traditions, in general and how they'd apply to a strict Code of Honor.<br/>(http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/judge_gavel1.jpg)"

You assume that the roads toward this particular Elysium aren't blocked or protected by ""spike strips"" that can make a gas truck pretty useless, barricades that can stop a vehicle if necessary, or a sniper that can shoot either the driver of the gas truck or the engine of the gas truck, etc. (Also, there's the fact that gasoline isn't as combustible as it seems to be in movies. The gas truck wouldn't necessarily explode just because it crashed into the building.) With the resources of a Prince, mobilizing the city's police force to do a little protection for diplomats having a private meeting in a public building is not difficult, especially if the officers in question are potentially ghouls and on the Ventrue payroll.<br/><br/>2. They wouldn't necessarily attempt to silence it. They'd just put a spin on it that made sure no Masquerade breach was reaching the media, and they would probably wind up spinning it in such a way that it furthered other goals that they had for the complacency of the kine. (Let's be honest, in American news reporting, facts often take a backseat to furthering an agenda, and in the WoD, it's somehow worse.) And that's assuming the problem wasn't handled nearly instantly. In walk three armed goons, out come the Sheriff's claws, the Gangrel and Brujah bikers' various fighting styles, etc. and three armed goons are quickly turned into assorted chunks of three formerly-armed goons, good thing one guy knows a carpet cleaner who can be Dominated to forget this.

He does not come off as paranoid, but he does seem to be as well-protected as an American president. The chief difference is that his ""Secret Service"" is a cadre of his own ghouls, some of which are visible inside Elysium at this moment, and others are in various key locations to head off attacks. A gas truck can be stopped, among other ways, by driving alongside it with a pickup truck and a kindred in the back who can rip a door off and kill the driver, then bring the truck to a stop.<br/><br/>I also recall watching one of those ""Wild Police Chases"" specials years ago where it was discussed that it was possible to stop a car by delivering an electric or EM jolt to the circuitry/on-board computer that regulates fuel injection. The government was experimenting with various methods to deliver that shock (very fast RC car designed to drive under the fleeing car and deliver the shock underneath it, etc.) that were proving to be very promising, if too expensive to implement by most local precincts. If DHS doesn't have something equivalent today, I'd be absolutely shocked, and if they don't have it ready to use in DC at a moment's notice, I'd be floored. And that's a world without the Technocracy, without higher security needs than our own, without the NSA knowing about kindred and the potential need to protect politicians from supernatural parasites who can manipulate anyone into doing their will. I strongly suspect that a gas truck driving through certain parts of DC would quickly get a police escort, just in case, and in America, most semi-trucks are being tracked by satellite at all times (and I would suspect that the government knows where virtually all large trucks are in DC at any given time, thanks to cameras with license plate tracking software and satellite tracking, and that's in our mundane world, and that's just the non-classified technology being used at the moment).<br/><br/>And in the World of Darkness, the 24 hour news networks would be owned, most likely, directly or indirectly by the Ventrue or by Pentex. They have a vested interest in squashing stories that would break the Masquerade, declaring them hoaxes, having ""experts"" on to talk about why they're clearly hoaxes, and discrediting the few places that report them as actual news.

Just have the prince tell him to go somewhere and interact with people, and at this point he'd do it without question. That said, others might want to suggest ways for their characters to have reasons to join up, though it mostly depends on what you have in mind as far as where this adventure takes us."

Instead if someone would be killed in the heat of battle, they are reduced to -1 and stable, after which the other combatant can coup-d-grace them.  Intentional death effects such as<em>disintegrate</em>,<em>finger of death</em>, etc. or just plain announced intentional ""assassinations"" or killings, still result in direct death if an attack would immediately kill an opponent.  This intentional ""killing"" exception, includes anything from a simple knife in the back,<em>magic missiles</em>and all the way up to the more drastic and directly lethal spells already mentioned.<br/><br/>Hopefully, we don't have any major PvP issues... but drow will be drow.  So settle things ""nicely"" as players.  8-)<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Content:</strong>As per discussion/Q&A encounters between players are between involved parties (i.e. Only a public person A and person B are ""doing it"" by the lake, type post is needed in case person A and/or person B would need to be sought out or in case some random monster or person would happen to stumble upon their ""encounter"" and turn their private encounter into an ""escapade"").<br/><br/>Any ""public"" sexual content or story line content will either be played out or can be just be written up as more of novel scene depending on how the players want to handle it.  This includes things such as the graduation ceremonies at the Academy, where part of it is basically a big orgy.<br/><br/>Any non-consensual content, must have the expressed consent of the participants and again may be completely played out or written out as more of a novel scene.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Source books</span><br/><br/><strong>Ruling about 3.0/3.5 sources:</strong>If a book was either completely republished for 3.5 (or has an update), you use the 3.5 update.  If no 3.5 update exists or say for example the prestige class was not republished in any other 3.5 source book, please present to me, just so I can take a quick glance.  More than likely I'll have no problem with it.<br/><br/><strong>Rule regarding Core Source book material versus Forgotten Realms Source book material (primarily regarding prestige classes):</strong>This will be addressed on a case by case basis, although if one person asks about a particular prestige class and I rule one way, said ruling stands for all.  Prestige class material seems to be the only majorly point where conflicting information seems to arise, however if any other issue can be pointed out, again it will be addressed on a case by case basis, and once a ruling has been made, it stands.<br/><br/><strong>Source books Dis-allowed:</strong>Unearthed Arcana (except for traits/flaws AND Variant Classes approved on a case by case basis with provided character concept; all other material in the Unearthed Arcana remains excluded including Paragon Classes, Spell Points, Weapon Group Feats, etc.), Tome of Magic, Dragon Magic, Frostburn, Heroes of Battle, Heroes of Horror, ANY other Campaign Setting material (Oriental Adventures, Ravenloft, etc.)<br/><br/><strong>Other Source Material Dis-allowed:</strong>Homebrew items, feats, etc. (some limited exception for regional feats and/or traits/flaws were made).  However, items, feats, PrCs, ACFs, etc. are a strict no.<br/><br/><strong>Source books Allowed</strong>: ANY Forgotten Realms material (again if there is a 3.5 update please use it) and any other D&D 3.5 book NOT listed under the dis-allowed section (i.e. Complete Warrior, Complete Adventurer, Spell Compendium, Expanded Psionics, Complete Psionics, Magic Item Compendium, are all OK).<br/><br/>Again if there wasn't a 3.5 update or if for example a prestige class was never republished in a 3.5 book, please ask me for approval; approval will be for the prestige class itself or for the feat, item, etc. in question not the book itself...unless you have reason to ask for the entire book.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Custom Rules</span><br/><br/><strong>Reminder</strong>: Note your ECL for being drow; but for advancement, encounter purposes and such it will not be a factor.  I know and you know, you are all drow.  Worse case, there is an extra ""bad"" guy or something for you to deal with, because I felt the last encounter was too easy, and so I up the difficulty a bit.  Level adjustments for any racial templates added, such as half-dragon, half-fiend, etc. do count and will affect your character's advancement.<br/><br/><strong>Character Religion</strong>: Your character's religion must be role-played.  It doesn't have to be a primary focus, but it has to be clear enough so that it is a characteristic of your character.<br/><br/>Remember your character lives in a female clergy of Lolth controlled world, and the Spider Queen does not tolerate competition.  If you do so happen to worship another deity, you'll have to pay ""lip service"" to Lolth or just be extremely good in hiding your true faith.<br/><br/><strong>Drow Clothing</strong>: Drow tend to see clothing as more of a ""necessity"" protectorate from natural elements, rather than a social necessity.  The only ""social"" side of it, is when they have something to hide like scars or something they feel is a physical flaw.  Especially females, and while they know it tends to be ""seductive"" or ""sexual"" in nature and they may not want that sort of attention all the time, especially since it can tend to lead to having males paying more attention to their looks and less attention on their work.  However, considering Menzoberranzan is a female controlled society, instances of any such ""slacking off"" or unwanted attention tend to met by rather unpleasant results for the offender(s).<br/><br/>However, clothing is also a status symbol in drow society as well... and surprisingly, ""skimpier"" outfits tend to show greater status.  Unless of course, again the drow is wishing to hide some physical flaw.  Or again, it does go back to drow seeing things as ""necessity"", so for combat warriors and clerics don heavier outfits and their armor.<br/><br/>** Reduce the weight of an outfit by 40% for a more ""revealing or skimpier"" outfit and increase the cost by 20%.  However for some social stations, etc; wearing such may not be appropriate. **<br/><br/>These weight reductions only apply for characters wishing to don more revealing clothing.  Any character wishing to perhaps hide physical flaws will still have to use the original weight listed in the Player's Handbook or just wanting to wear ""normal"" everyday clothes.<br/><br/>Cost increase is to reflect, custom tailoring.  You may also if preferred, use the 3.0 Arms and Equipment book which contained an equipment table for all sorts of useful things, including clothing in ""non-outfit"" form.  Meaning that it let you buy clothing by each individual piece; your shoes, your pants, your shirt, your hat...etc., and thus your outfit weighed accordingly.<br/><br/><strong>Bows and Crossbows</strong>: Tactically speaking, due to the nature of the cavern environment the use of bows doesn't make sense.  Therefore, regardless whether of not, it is possible to ""forge"" a functional bow out of steel, the drow use crossbows as their ranged weapons.  Actual short bows and long bows are not available in Menzoberranzan or would have to be imported on special request by a merchant at the Bazaar that had ties to the surface.  Or make a special request and deal with a skilled weapon maker.<br/><br/>Actually, isn't so much the material/construction factor, as it is the space for properly using a bow in some areas of the Underdark.  While many caverns and such are large open areas, many areas where drow engage in battle can be narrow tunnels or even narrowly shaped caverns where crossbows have proven to be more effective as first strike ranged weapons, before closing into melee.<br/><br/>Players may not begin play with short bows or long bows and any attempts to make a special request to a merchant for one must be role-played out with either myself or Ghostwheel.<br/><br/><strong>Highborn Drow (Feat)</strong>: Given as bonus feat if your character is the son or daughter of a Matron mother (or son or daughter of one of the Matron's daughters, making you an indirect ""family"" member; no players playing commoner characters may take this feat).  I am changing the level at which you gain the Levitate ability to 8th level.  However, I am also giving an additional use of the basic drow spell abilities for every 6 character levels (so at 6th, 12th, 18th, etc.) for possessors of this feat.<br/><br/><strong>Poisons</strong>: After talking Ghostwheel and I felt that poisons in D&D just felt ""wrong"".  Both in pricing and ""power"", so we are going to use a different system to help this.  Please see here (http://grimstonestudios.com/files/Wrecan%27s%20Poison%20Variant.pdf) for more details.  Questions should be directed to Ghostwheel or myself.  The types of poisons themselves are still the same listed in the books (please see page 297 in the Dungeon Master's Guide for the ""basic"" list of poisons, others can be found in such sources like the<em>Drow of the Underdark</em>), we are just using a new system to determine costs and using a system that allows players a way to create stronger poisons if they desire.<br/><br/>Reminder: Crafting costs are 1/3 the ""market cost"".  So doing a quick calculation using this system DC 13 drow poison's Market Value is 225 gp, but that means you can craft it for the same 75 gp that is listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide.  It would only cost more to craft if you decided to make a stronger version and thus increase the DC your opponent would have to save against.<br/><br/><strong>Special Material - Mithral</strong>: While the availability of the metal itself may not be lacking in the Underdark, due to the metal's silvery color the drow tend to favor adamantine for their weapons and armor.  While they have developed a process for ""blackening"" mithral armor during its forging, said process is costly and thus has kept adamantine to be the favored metal due to its natural color.  In fact, even finding a blacksmith who has the tools and skills to forge ""blackened"" mithral is sometimes difficult.<br/><br/>Base Item Cost for ""Blackened"" Mithral Items:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list""><li>Weapons: +4,500 gp </li><li>Ammunition: +80 gp</li><li>Armor (light): +7,000 gp<br/></li><li>Armor (medium): +14,000 gp<br/></li><li>Armor (heavy): +21,000 gp<br/></li></ul><br/>Note: Mithral found, obtained, or purchased from other sources is still subject to normal rules found in the Dungeon Master's Guide.  Which for the intents and purposes of this game, affects the pricing and color of the metal.  So if you obtain and wish to use mithral from any other source but Menzoberranzan, while cheaper...it will be the usual silvery color, thus not very ""good"" or ""useful"" for an Underdark based game.<br/><br/><strong>Weapons and Armor Concealment:</strong>Especially armor concealment, if you are going to try to conceal your armor with your clothing, you need to:<br/><br/><ul class=""bbc_list"" style=""list-style-type: decimal;""><li>Think about the type of armor you're wearing versus the clothing you are wearing.</li><li>Consider the ""bulkiness"" of the armor you're wearing versus the clothing are wearing.  Concealing a chain shirt, not necessarily a difficult task if you aren't wearing ""revealing"" clothes.  Concealing breastplates, half-plate, full plate, banded mail, or splint mail... not going to happen.</li><li>Also consider from the armor description how much of your body the armor covers, versus how much your clothing is covering.  Or can your outfit sort of blend in with any pieces of armor that might be ""sticking out"".</li><li>For things like chain shirts...there is still a small noise factor to consider or for any small things like a low cut shirt collar that might accidentally reveal your armor, any reflective properties of the armor.</li></ul><br/><ul class=""bbc_list"" style=""list-style-type: decimal;""><li>For weapons, again as with armor there are just somethings you can't hide.  No one is going to hide say a two-handed sword or a polearm.</li><li>But for things like daggers and the like, you have to things to consider.  There is the where, the how, and the how to keep them hidden.</li></ul><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>To Roll or Not to Roll, That is the Question...</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Online Dice Roller</strong>: No ""strict"" enforcement of which you use.  So you don't have to use Elliquiy's if you don't ""like"" it.  Our only rule for fairness, is that Ghostwheel and I have to be able to check reference to the site your roll(s) came from.  If we cannot, then your roll(s) will be considered invalid.<br/><br/><strong>Skill Rolls</strong>: Since we're here to focus more on the RP aspect, I'd like to push skill rolls of to the side a bit.  Unless the task (skill trick, etc.) is difficult say DC 20 or above or it is something your character has never done before (or is trying to learn), we are going to use the Take 10 rule for Skill Checks.  If however, you have any reason you want to NOT Take 10 and to attempt a roll for a skill attempt, you may always do so.  However, this means for opposed skill checks this entitles your opponents to do so as well.<br/><br/><strong>Combat Scenario Skill Checks</strong>: During Combat Scenarios (any time Initiative Rolls are called for by the DM or Co-DM), the Take 10 rule does NOT apply.  All Skill Rolls must be rolled during Combat Scenarios.<br/><br/><strong>Combat Rules</strong>: Any rolls for combat; including Initiative, attack, damage, healing, etc. will be rolled and rolls, along results should be pasted in the thread.<br/><br/><strong>Magic Rolls</strong>: Any random rolls for magic must be rolled, whether made in combat or outside of combat.<br/><br/><br/>Please also post any skill use and/or die rolls, whether or not you are applying the Take 10 rule, at the bottom of your post.  For example:<br/><br/><em>Skills Used: Listen, Spot, Hide</em><br/><br/>Placing that at the bottom of your post would be perfect and would allow myself and/or Ghostwheel to quickly know which skills were being used, in case any opposed rolls would need to be made for NPCs or even for any other players that may be involved in the scene.  Same goes for Combat Scenes, having all your die rolls at the bottom of your post and labeled with the actions that they coordinate with, helps myself and Ghostwheel quickly sort everything out, and make things run smoother.<br/><br/>Please also keep all rolls, skill usage notes and such with the post(s) they are in regard to.  Do not post rolls or skill usage notes here in the OOC thread and then link back to where the scene they are in regards to is taking place.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Menzoberranzan Political Structure - 1300 DR</strong></span><br/><br/>The following are the topmost houses of Menzoberranzan:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list"" style=""list-style-type: decimal;""><li>Baenre</li><li>Barrison Del'Armgo</li><li>Oblodra (destroyed by Lolth in DR1358, described in Siege of

first eight houses comprise what is known as the city's ""Ruling Council"", even though there was little overall government that controlled the entire city itself.  Even Lolth herself, ""promoted"" the chaos that went on within the city, the ever continuing power struggle.  The so called Ruling Council and it's rules essentially turned things into somewhat organized chaos, and in times of trouble that threatened the entire city ensured that Menzoberranzan stood as one.<br/><br/>House DeVir, the former fourth House, was destroyed 3 years ago by House Do'Urden during Drizzt Do'Urden's birth and only has one unknown survivor to the rest of the city.<br/><br/>The following Houses are merchant families, houses outside the first 20-30 or so and thus were not an immediate ""threat"" to the ongoing power struggle within the city.  The families always battling with each other for a place on the ruling council or even just a higher ranking within the city for more respect.<br/><ul

He threw you across the room and you're fine. His students should now doubt his ability to punish them for displeasing or offending him as a result. At least, that's how I'd read it. I'm not a DM though, so take it with a grain of salt :P<br/><br/>*edited to fix my grammar... I swear, I can English*"

Both our characters were speaking to each other. Mean-bad words, sure, but still speaking. We're in the presence of a Matron Mistress who obviously doesn't want violence in her office. Nothing has been really shown that there's going to be any violence. And then a sudden snap.<br/><br/>Is your character psychic? Can she read thoughts?

The rest of the daylight time is spent making and breaking camp, resting, and eating.<br/><br/>A character can walk for more than 8 hours in a day by making a forced march. For each hour of marching beyond 8 hours, a Constitution check (DC 10, +2 per extra hour) is required. If the check fails, the character takes 1d6 points of nonlethal damage. A character who takes any nonlethal damage from a forced march becomes fatigued. Eliminating the nonlethal damage also eliminates the fatigue. It’s possible for a character to march into unconsciousness by pushing himself too hard.<br/><br/>Now, we naturally do not walk 8 hours in training field. We are are running and according running rules a char can run one or two minutes without problems before they need rest a minute.<br/><br/>Master Taleeryn is pushing students to run much as they can before fatigue kicks in.

So what should I do with my post with it being in error?<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>Let me do an ELI5 for you real quick.<br/><br/>When you activate rage, the duration is equal to 3 rounds, plus a number of rounds equal to your new Constitution modifier (http://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Barbarian#Rage). A round in combat is approximately give-or-take 6 seconds. This means that you rage for a total of 7 rounds, which is a total of 42 seconds before it your rage ends from the moment it began.<br/><br/>After the rage ends, you are Fatigued (http://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Fatigued). When you are fatigued, you are unable to run or charge.<br/><br/>This means that IF the running had started IMMEDIATELY upon when you finished pushing the boulder (and assuming that pushing the boulder only took one round, it might have taken more), then you would only have had a few rounds to run before becoming fatigued. However, this probably wasn't the case, since other people needed to finish pushing as well.<br/><br/>Running (http://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Run#Run) allows you to move x4 your normal speed, or 120' per round as one of the drow. Because you're a barbarian, you have an additional 10' of move speed, which means your running speed is 160', and your double move speed is 80'. So while you might be able to outpace the others for a round or two (6-12 seconds), you would quickly become fatigued due to your rage wearing off, and then you would need to limit yourself to two move actions per round (not running) until the fatigue ended (ruled by the DM, upon the end of this encounter).<br/><br/>Does that make sense?"

The poison damage is 1d3 to strength, not to HP.<br/><br/>Now, to further explain let's use example. A barbarian Conan gets bitten by nasty spider, normally man of virtue of physical fortitude he rolls nat 1 and so he fails against spider's pitiful poison save DC (which is 11). He has strength 20 and thus spider rolls with 1d3 a two, so Conan looses -2pts strength and thus has strength 18 until he recovers from poison.<br/><br/>He needs roll save again one minute later as poison takes hit on you twice (if you fail first fort save). Let's assume Conan succeed but if he had failed second save, the spider would had rolled 1d3 a second time and added the damage top of what Conan had already suffered. So if spider had been lucky (or Conan unlucky this case in his fort saves), Conan may had lost six points of strength just because of poison.<br/><br/>Now, to recover from stat damage your char needs rest for one day in bed to get 1 point back. A full day in bed rest would recover two points. If the stat loss is drain instead damage, it means you loose permanently the stat points lost with said attack. But the spiders do not cause such damage, so any strength loss can be recovered by resting.<br/><br/>Spiders can do 1d6 damage per round (to HP), so unless Jazerat has horrible luck (with dice) he should survive.<br/><br/>Edit; Aye, Snake nailed reason for two fort saves with poison. If first roll succeeds, you did not get affected by poison that round (nor 1 minute later). But if you fail, the poison gets in your system and thus haves initial damage and then your body needs resist the secondary effect of the poison."

However DC 11 to both nausea and poison is not that high DC to make (difficult if you lack positive fort save progress but still not impossible).<br/><br/>Also you do not need make any climb check to exit the web where spiders are. Think you need crawl out from trampoline made from webbing (trampoline full of angry spiders). So even if you fail both rolls you can exit the web and spiders leave you alone once your out. Only test after you fell was to break free from entangled webbing before spiders swarm on you and start bite and devour you alive. As even nauseated you can make move action and moving 30'ft is still possible (and you need only move 15'ft to get out if you picked central rope, 10'ft of chose left or right rope passage)."

The spider trampoline web and the breeding pit are the most dangerous.<br/><br/>Edit; You needed climb horizontally 60'ft rope over a trampoline web. So climb checks are needed if you want climb<em>fast</em>pass the obstacle, but if you take ten on climb check, you pass obstacle in 1 minute without chance to fail it at all.<br/><br/>So if you fail climb check, you fall onto trampoline web but you can go around to climb rope ladder to get up again and try cross the 60'ft section again (as you must keep trying obstacle which you attempt pass until you succeed or instructor calls for quits). That's why you must decide do you attempt the obstacle or not. If someone happens to have -10 on swim checks they naturally do not try cross the water obstacle until they upgrade their swim ranks.<br/><br/>So yeah, you got half-way until slipped and fell to trampoline web and got spiders on you. You can crawl out from trampoline and then climb back up and then try again cross 60'ft rope (without harassed by spiders but venom damage may make climb checks more harder with strength reduction)."

As R&amp;D pushes the boundaries of the game, we learn that some things we thought were risky or potentially broken aren't. Other times, we learn things that look fine don't actually work in play. Armored mages fall into the first category. Them seem really powerful, but in the long run they aren't. Spells and magic items allow an unarmored mage to build great defenses. The spell mage armor is as good as medium armor, and its duration allows most mages to keep it active at all times. If you compare the hexblade to the duskblade from PH 2, you can see how the thinking has changed. If you want to boost the hexblade, I'd try the following changes:<br/><br/>    Good Fortitude save <br/><br/>    Curse ability usable 1 + the hexblade's Cha modifier per day <br/><br/>    Curse ability usable as a swift action <br/><br/>    Curse ability does not count as used if the target makes his saving throw <br/><br/>    Ability to cast in light or medium armor and while carrying a light shield or buckler <br/><br/>    At 6th level, the hexblade can cast one hexblade spell per day as a swift action, as long as its original casting time is a standard action or faster. He gains an additional use of this power at levels 8, 11, 14, and 18. </div></div><br/>Would you allow that?"

It was investigated many years what happened exactly. However after doing it's strikes on several acolyte groups (and killing more than seasoned priestess) the outsider vanished. Some even speculate it was not a outsider at all but a powerful assassin (a someone who wanted cripple drow community through striking dead center; to Lolth clergy) which fooled Ameesril by speaking original incident being launched by a outsider (the same female drow which no doubt was disguised perpetrator).<br/><br/>But either through luck or fate, Ameesril was sole survivor of her year class and more than half both from senior and three from fourth younger acolytes were killed that day. The whole event was covered up by Lolth clergy and they initiated a harsh punishments for ever talking about it nor any details spilled (go so far as kill and sacrifice any loose lipped acolyte in most gruesome tortures ever invented by elders). However naturally rumor and gossip existed, as it was obvious massacre as several acolytes mysteriously 'vanished' and only matron mothers are aware what was cause of death of their daughters and have sworn to silence. As even if blow was severe, the older priestess took it as their duty to recover from the loss....by placing all surviving acolytes into harshest forms of tasks and tests to get 'best of the best' from lucky survivors ensure future prosperity and make up loss in numbers with quality.<br/><br/>It resulted in ruthless regime where any weakness or heresy or misconception were not tolerated, every student in Arach Tinilith was driven on wall and rammed repeatedly against it with various tests, exams and tasks set before by the elder priestesses. Many students got mutilated as form of punishment, some luckier ones got healed after torture punishments so they retained their looks and functional limbs. Deaths were minimal, nay, it was strictly forbidden to kill any acolytes expect ones which break the only one rule which was silence about the event in the past. Ameesril herself ended few times punished harshly but the times when she did hammered lessons firmly to her head and she suffered no permanent scars from them.<br/><br/>But what Ameesril faced was several competitive tests placed against both senior and lesser acolytes. Ameesril became increasingly resourceful student; all senior students viewed her as a threat as she send more than one priestess to same or even lesser rank than her among students. She especially excelled in tests which dealt with lore especially and spellcraft and influence, also in direct spell duels she won them thanks combination of her divine spells as cleric and arcane as warlock. What she did though was to form network of allies and alliances (even under false alias) among younger student body which worked for her and sometimes even against each other with idea that 'her mistress opposes my mistress' when in truth she played role of both mistresses. All just keep illusion going on.<br/><br/>Besides the tests and trials created by senior priestesses (and couple sabotage attempts by senior students) she had to endure also Lolth's own assigned tests as well and quite several. She had faced these tests before but there was clear intensity to them from before....as even Lolth herself seemed want drive on purpose students on edge into outright terror and complete utter ruthless in power games. Many students failed their tests and got either killed, turned to driders or other horrors. Thus leaving only handful of students compared to past years (a very diminished amount) but end results speak for themselves; every graduate student will be top tier in power, cunning and influence.

Including creating feuds between acolytes to keep them focusing on each other or ever think or doubt about nature of their mistress (even masquerade as acolyte to create rivalries). She even made alliance networks where she was central figure under alias. Only rare one or two she was in her real appearance involved and her circle was not aware of trickery she was pulling with rest acolytes (and sometimes was lover to member of her circle and encourage treacherous activity towards own circle as to test their loyalty).<br/><br/>Once it was revealed how vast her network was....it impressed all mistresses in Arach Tinilith, Mistress Iraeuitna Dyrr especially as it showed how skilled Ameesril was in social scale and in arts of seduction; promises which brought false hope for acolytes and made them <em>believe</em> her lies. So thus it was concluded among mistresses that test of deception and lies was a success which helped Ameesril climb in ladder of power in the church of Lolth.<br/></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""floatleft""><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Test of Loyalty: Betrayal of Blood-Kin</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Ameesril did not start alone in her ploy in making network of allies; her cousin who studied in Sorcerer helped her achieve her goal and in return she gave him few favors what as acolyte she could to him. Even having affair with him as he had always been smitten by her smoky sensual looks and she gladly exploited their relationship to benefit her. She did not plan betray him so long he remained useful.<br/><br/>However, Lolth wanted test her loyalties; she whispered on her cousin ear about betrayal plans and some lies to make her cousin furious enough to attack her next time when they met in private location which they had set for their meetings. Lolth warned beforehand what was going to happen and what she demanded of her....so Ameesril slew her cousin and disposed his remains. He was student but compared in magical arts he was inferior to Ameesril.<br/></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""floatleft""><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Test of Mettle: Poisoned Dinner</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Naturally one her alliances planned kill one her aliases and take her place. Her divinations and resources told as much, but then instead preparing spells which allowed ignore poisons or reveal them, Lolth refused give them to her and with that Ameesril realized what Lolth demanded from her; to boldly participate in poisoned dinner and not suffocate on the venom with her own hardiness (or aid of alchemy). She drinked antitoxin before dinner to bolster her chances and she then participated in the dinner, eating all various poisonous meals and endured no ill effect much for the stunned shock of her underlings who sought poison her.<br/><br/>However Ameesril did not set just to endure but make a play of her own; she had added poison to simple tea which was brought by a servant. She then informed her underlings she was aware of the poison in food and (lied) that she had warded herself from the ill effects of the poison. What's more she had poisoned every dish which dinner party had thought was not poisoned. If they had taken even single bite from poisoned food the poison would had counteracted itself in their system and thus they will be fine. The antidote to Ameesril poison laid before them in form of mushroom brewed tea. However the one who takes from said tea will be considered to be one who plotted to kill her and thus was one who did not take even single sip or bite from food intended poison Ameesril.<br/><br/>All acolytes greedily slurped the poisoned tea and planned to kill her....and thus all succumbed to the real venom and even in overdose of said venom in their gluttony for the tea. Although there was strict rule not kill acolytes, the mistress who questioned Ameesril about the event accepted her judgment (she had right for self-defense after all) on the matter and praised for clever nature of it.<br/></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""floatleft""><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Test of Strength: Test of Arms</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Considering over the years growing influence and success in various scholarly pursuits brought rivals and those who feared her. So then group of senior priestesses who had recently graduated but knew Ameesril will year later be easy surpass them arranged scenario where she is forced to fight when weakest; in contest of direct combat with no spells allowed to be cast! The freshly graduated priestesses influenced Mistress Haelra Kenafin to arrange test of arms for Ameesril (mentioning their doubt her fitness as priestess physically and lack of physical exercise). Mistress was influenced and she told then Ameesril prepare for a test tomorrow against another priestess and Ameesril (as usual) prepared and casted divination and she found out the test will be a duel between a graduated priestess and her....using only physical skills with arms.<br/><br/>Ameesril then found loophole what she could use. She prepared self buffing spells with long duration and she cast each and every spell before entering the class room where she was immediately given weapon and pointed to duel with graduated priestess. If she would fail test it would demote her and could delay her graduation by year depending how badly it goes....without her spells it would had gone very badly.<br/><br/>Instead she used her buffed spells and her innate divine gift with Lolth to fuel her blows with wild frenzy devotion! It caught her competitor off guard and she was winning! This point Mistress Haelra would had noticed that Ameesril had buffed herself before the fight....and as divination shown she accepted it, as duel was after all 'no spells cast <em>during</em> it'. Nothing was discussed about before battle. But even so it showed her student's understanding of close combat even if normally she does not fight in it and Mistress Haelra was impressed with knowledge she showed.<br/><br/>However, when Ameesril was about give finishing blow....she felt pain in her chest and she gurgled blood and then collapsed dead on ground while a baby fiendish widowmaker spider chewed it's way out from her chest much to astonishment to the students and instructors around. The fresh graduated priestess laughed and declared that Lolth had found Ameesril wanting and none could argue about it and Mistress Haelra then even doubted her own judgment on the situation allowing Ameesril enter duel magically buffed. Wondering would it had spared otherwise excellent student's life? None the less victor took the spider as her pet, trophy and memento from the duel and used her clerical arts to control it easily as it was young spider.<br/><br/>But none knew the deception what Lolth laid before them; Ameesril had succeed on her test and now she was given ultimate test to any cleric or servant to Lolth suffer; Test of Doubt. Also a test which will bring enclosure to events from years ago.<br/></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""floatleft""><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Test of Doubt: Life as Spider (Important to read)</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">At end of Test of Strength (which Ameesril had succeed but not left enjoy fruits of her labor) had been transformed into baby fiendish widowmaker and with divine gift turned into a pet to the victor who was unaware of true nature of the spider which had exploded from Ameesril's chest upon her death. Lolth had turned Ameesril's soul into a spider which had chewed itself out from former vessel; Ameesril's drow body. Ameesril had all her memories and personality, but none her powers as warlock nor as cleric. She was limited in form of spider....which was compelled to obey the wench whom she had fought in duel and basically won if not count unable make finishing blow!<br/><br/>She questioned daily; <em>Why? Did I do wrong? Am I unworthy?</em> All these passed through Ameesril's mind as she lived on as spider. She could not attack nor defy her 'mistress' but otherwise had freedom so she explored her new form and life while she quietly contemplated. She came to conclusion that whatever she had done would not had deserved this fate, as if Lolth would not had wanted her use knowledge to her advantage vs the duel, she would had denied her answer to her inquiry about it. So why she is spider? There must be grander goal to it beyond her understanding so without giving on hope she lived, learned and studied as a spider.<br/><br/>She endured the daily lessons and she acted like any regular spider while she did understood perfectly commands given by her mistress. She ate like spider and she took a quiet curious study of life around her through spider's eyes. Many interesting insights and she often prowled the temple grounds, hunting and exploring. She grew rapidly during the months from tiny spider to all way to medium size. She noticed acolytes had figured out her deception which she had pulled for eight years, silently lamenting that such useful tool she had had been crumbled. Also no one spoke about Ameesril, but that's expected; no one speak about failed acolytes even if much revered like Ameesril. Her belongings had been taken by the church and her room emptied and reoccupied by new acolyte which she spend day stalking and observing.<br/><br/>Then came the day which would be one much treasured triumphant moments in Ameesril's life so far....her mistress had started talk to Ameesril, grow fond of her like any spider pet owner. After all spiders are mindless and thus they do not tell any secrets right? Well she revealed, foolishly, that she had arranged years ago the assassinations! By calling in a powerful assassin demon to get rid of rivals and empty temple from acolytes so she could have easier time to climb in ladder! How stupid it was as after that the mistresses became hyper harsh in judgment and using whips for punishments. But she swore she will become mistress and pays them back for their painful numerous lessons....<br/><br/>In that moment Ameesril felt furious surge through her! Feeling her divine gifts return and thus her will and no longer bound by mistress will! So she with screeching clitter of fangs attacked her mistress! Sinking fangs to her neck and starting suck her neck dry while pinning her down on the bed, she had succeed activate alarm but it was no avail; she was already dead in bed and Matron Mistress Triel Baenre entered the room (she had been nearest and she heard the alarm and feared another assassination accident could occur anytime), so she saw firstly fiendish widowmaker sucking dry on it's owner....a very unusual sight but a one which leaves no doubt about victim's loss of favor with Lolth.<br/><br/>Then spider changed form into Ameesril herself, naked and teeth clenching on the traitor's neck. It stunned her as she had thought Ameesril had been dead over a year....but instead had been living in form of widowmaker. Other mistresses also gathered witness this weird miracle but very quickly Mistress Triel Baenre took Ameesril for questioning along with instructors and demand what had happened (and made clear that she may be executed for killing fellow priestess but they demanded answers first). Ameesril told everything truthfully and they questioned the corpse of the traitor and they found out the truth; she had broke in to forbidden storage years ago, stole scroll of planar binding and performed risky summoning to call in powerful demon and bid it to her will and go slaughter and mayhem much as it could without being discovered and as reward it could kill whomever it liked in whatever fashion it preferred.<br/><br/>With this event Ameesril rank was restored, items given to her but as her room was already occupied she was given new room....in graduated priestess quarters. She was called now as <em>Revered</em> Ameesril, with honorific only used by recognized renown priestesses. Her graduation ceremony is still a year away, but she through her skill and deeds is now recognized as fully part of priesthood already. She will undergo graduation like everyone else but besides that she is already given much benefits and perks as priestess and respect what comes with it. So even if her years lasted deception is broken, she is respected and no one among acolytes whom she fooled with dares oppose her as they heard the tale what had happened and are honestly scared of Ameesril....and respect her like full ranked priestess although Mistress Triel Baenre clarifies she is full priestess once she finishes her graduation. But even so even Mistress Triel Baenre asks her counsel and opinion regarding lore as that's Ameesril's strongest talents and one where she surpasses Matron Mistress Triel Baenre (although never voices it wisely). She even helps teach newest acolyte classes alongside with other mistresses and had started run classes on her own whenever she is told to hold one (albeit it's very rare but it's clear sign how mistresses of academy see her).<br/></div></div></div><br/><br/>So thus in ninth year Ameesril is highly respected student which is treated to be priestess already through her hard trials and work as acolyte. Only that she needs go through graduation and Matron Mistress Triel Baenre often reminds her she is <em>almost</em> priestess but it does not dismiss notion how well she is treated and respected; she had earned her mantle well enough to warrant the authority she carries and which she can enforce and quite well if needed. But with power, authority and respect also comes it's own dangers and responsibilities, as all mistresses answer to Matron Mistress and so she does answer to Triel Baenre and she is not mistress but a (almost) priestess (so thus answer still to mistresses, until graduation is over). She often stalks and moves around the temple in form of spider, much to awe and envy of other mistresses who playfully (or secretly maliciously) envy her talent to take form of spider as it provides many perks....like spook acolytes who think they are talking without being observed by mistress or senior student.<br/></div></div></div>"

Eager to meet her new companions and combatants.<br/><br/>When she reached the place, she placed herself off the scooter. Throwing her matching yellow helmet that had the words<em>Safety First</em>printed on the side of it.

Her feet were wrapped up in a pair of white tennis shoes, but the chances are she would remove them later anyways. Her bottoms were a pair of tight fitting yellow yoga pants that reached down to her calves. She was unsure if she was going to fight today, because she although she was a major fan, she was unsure of their procedures. So, she dressed the part of a fighter just in case she would have to show off her skills. At first glance, most wouldn't think much of Shiva. Other than she looked like a tan skinned and brown hair nerd. But none of that mattered, for they had discovered her. All she knew was that she needed to meet her new Manager.<br/><br/>Shiva tucked her scooter keys in the pocket in her jean jacket, as she looked around the place. Slowly pulling the jacket off of her back, and holding the jean fabric in her arms. Holding the jacket closely to her body, as a form of comfort, and biting down on her lips.<em>Where do I go? What do I do? I just don't know!</em>, she started to stress in her mind. But then she realized that the people who were here were probably involved in the street fighting circuit. Instantly her eyes sparkled as she found herself lost in stardom. Her big brown eyes eagerly taking in all the costumes as her facial expression represented that she was stargazed. Standing awkwardly in the middle of the room.<br/>"

role=""button"">Background</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Bellona is the daughter of a well-off mechanic and a professional racer.  She was raised around vehicles, both assembled and dissembled, and rode her first bike before she could even properly walk.  She began to desire to be one with the machine, eventually convincing her parents to get her a control rig for her sixteenth birthday.  She found she had an almost natural talent with vehicles, able to coax them to go above and beyond.  She saved up and bought herself a Suzuki Mirage, and started racing in various street races.  <br/><br/>It was at once such street race that she met her fixer, a man looking to round out a team of shadowrunners with a driver.  He offered her a job and, never being one to pass up a bit of excitement, she accepted.  The job, although fairly low-key by most standards, got her hooked.  She worked for several years as a driver, before investing the money she had made into a series of drones.  When her team retired, leaving her rather well off but without a steady income, she set out to find a new group of runners.  <br/><br/>Bellona lives for the thrill of the chase.  She has found herself hooked to extreme sports BTLs.  She has upgraded her control rig, but the surgery left her immune system weaker than it was before and her nervous system hypersensitive.  <br/><br/>Bellona tends to operate from a GMC Bulldog, affectionately nicknamed “Growly.”  The seats, all but the driver’s have been ripped out and replaced with room for cargo and drones.  She stuffs everything she can fit into the back. (1500kg capacity, not sure volume, but would have all her drones if possible, though the Steel Lynx might not fit.  Plus ammunition, her shop, her RCC, etc.).   She still has her original Suzuki Mirage, though she rarely drags it out of the garage anymore.  She lives in a small mansion (or large house) in an area of town protected by what basically amounts to a vigilante gang.  Officially dubbed a neighbourhood watch, they do their best to keep both the authorities and the criminals out.</div></div></div></div>"

Like all good children of ranking corporate agents, she was given a proper life full of good schooling, real food, and plenty of good ol' indoctrination. While Julia wasn't the smartest girl around, she was both tough and quick-witted, and even pretty enough to catch the eyes of her fellow Ares youths. In the end she decided to join corporate security, proving to be very good at . . enforcing the Ares school of thought, and keeping low-level shadowrunners discouraged from attacking low-level Ares assets. In the end she was chosen to be a part of Project Ajax, a hand-picked group of Ares assets to be enhanced with further magical training and specialized cyberware and bioware to protect a high-secrecy lab hidden underneath the Seattle sprawl.<br/><br/>With her new chrome and enhanced combat training Julia did a good job at keeping the lab safe . . . until she found out what was in it. An exceptionally skilled team of Shadowrunners punched their way into the facility, leading to the Ajax group having to pull back to the inner labs to set up a defensive line. It was there that they learned that Ares was actually experimenting in making specialized combat-capable bunraku with bleeding-edge bioware and hidden cybertech weapons. This discovery lead to an immediate change in what was going on, with some of the Ajax members turning on the others and helping the Shadowrunners to destroy the lab. Julia was one of them.<br/><br/>With her life as a member of Ares Macrotechnology at a rather decisive end, and no way to hack her SIN out of existance, she was forced to find other ways of going incognito. A healthy amount of nuyen ensured that her chrome had all of it's bugs and tracking devices and programs removed, and she even went under the knife to change her appearance further. While she didn't look it she did have Japanese ancestry a few generations back (and a strong command of the language) so she descided to get her body changed to appear to be Japanese. Her blond hair became black, her eyes sculpted to more of an olive shape, her breasts and hips slightly shrunk and slimmed, without losing her muscle mass. Of course, while she was under the knife she descided to get a small . . well . . large addition to her anatomy. If she's spending the money anyways, might as well get something that would COMPLETELY throw off anything looking for a normal woman with cyberarms, right? In the end she obtained a fake SIN for her new identity and repurposed herself as a Shadowrunner transplant from Japan."

Exploration<br/>should be limited to an area no further than thirty-six miles east and<br/>west and sixty miles south of Lawrence’s Trading Post. The carrier of<br/>this charter should also strive against banditry and other unlawful<br/>behavior to be encountered. The punishment for unrepentant banditry<br/>remains, as always, execution by sword or rope. So witnessed on this<br/>24th day of Calistril, under watchful eye of the Lordship of Restov<br/>and authority granted by Lord Noleski Surtova, current Regent of<br/>the Dragonscale Throne.</div></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>Oleg's Trading Post: the last bastion of civilization before the wild stretches of the Stolen Lands. The riotous River Kingdoms lay many long leagues to the south. More closer and relevant was the Greenbelt, a strip of land which was reckoned to begin the moment one stepped foot south of Oleg's. It could be divided into roughly two halves: the forests of the Narlmarches in the west and the rolling hills of the Kamelands in the east. The charters borne by a chosen few were not public knowledge, but even then there were official reasons for them to be granted. Brevoy had long had a claim, if unacted upon, upon the Greenbelt as part of the Stolen Lands. If made safe once more, not only would the southern border be secured against bandit incursions, but also profitable trade routes could be opened with the River Kingdoms. Or at least, that was how the official story went.<br/><br/>The expanse of wilderness which went by the moniker of the ""Stolen Lands"" lay between the state of Brevoy to the north and the River Kingdoms to the south. Jungle, hill, swamp, and mountain denoted the natural boundaries between the farmed plains of civilization and the untamed wilds. Rivers snaked through the Stolen Lands, but none formed the single, continuous, and most importantly, navigable route from north to south (or south to north, depending on one's point of view) needed for a viable trade route. Uncharted roads, natural dangers of the wild, and last but certainly not least the threat of banditry made the overland route a matter of such poor odds that even the most desperate gambler would shy away from. Hence the name; lands which could not be settled, considered stolen from the kingdoms with rightful claims to them. Histories and legends told of many attempts at carving a kingdom out of the Stolen Lands over the centuries, all of which had obviously come to naught.<br/><br/>The Greenbelt lay in the middle of the Stolen Lands. Starting at Oleg's trading post at the south-western corner of the South Rostland Road, the Greenbelt was a strip of land that stretched south and could be divided into roughly two halves. The forests of the Narlmarches made up the western half, and where they ended the hills of the Kamelands began, rolling towards the east. The Greenbelt was rich in game, if merely adequate for farming, though fewer hunters and trappers roam those wilds nowadays than there should have been, no thanks to the bandits who made their hideouts out there, beyond the reach of the law.<br/><br/>It was the last day of Calistril and the blizzards of winter were widely thought to be safely past by now. It promised to be a warm year with an early spring thaw. There was still a thin layer of frost on the grass and one could still see one's own breath, but the sky was clear, the sun bright and the winds calm. From Oleg's, the northernmost reaches of the Narlmarches could be seen to the southwest, while the hills of the Kamelands beckoned on the southeastern horizon.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Oleg's Trading Post</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://i.imgur.com/ZYd4by4.jpg)<br/>The trading post itself was a fort abandoned long ago now converted and rebuilt by one Lawrence Oleg and his wife Horo. Atop a foundation of ancient stone, it had a wooden palisade with a square wooden watchtower on each corner. A wooden gate was set in the southern palisade as the only way in or out short of scaling the walls. Inside the trading post, the market yard was ringed by several buildings and a cooking fire. There was also a guest house, a stable where Lawrence's horse was kept, a roofed storage pen, and a squat but sturdy building that contained a variety of rooms used as offices, stockrooms, and personal living quarters.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Lawrence and Horo Oleg</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://i.imgur.com/aSg17HC.png)<br/><br/>Lawrence Oleg, the builder of Oleg's Trading Post, was a middle-aged man with graying hair. He was rumoured to have moved to this remote location precisely because it was so far removed from Restov and its urban bustle.<br/><br/>Horo Oleg was Lawrence's kitsune wife. She looked much younger than her husband, but whether this reflected her real age or was simply a kitsune illusion (or even simply natural for her race), no one really knew. She had a prominent pair of auburn-coloured fox ears peeking up from her similarly coloured hair.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Mayor Bingley</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Autocad-E/Bingley_zps8dbcb5ae.jpg)<br/><br/>Mayor Bingley was a middle-aged gnome who was mayor of a small village most of his life, now sent to the Greenbelt to help with settlement. With the title of ""Mayor"" most of his life, the name had stuck even after his arrival at Oleg's made him technically not a mayor anymore. He had been granted his own super-charter of sorts, giving him the authority to manage the charter-bearers' exploration efforts and ensure that they do not step on each others' toes.  He sported a fabulous handlebar mustache with gloriously curled tips.<br/></div></div><br/>Mayor Bingley was a friendly and talkative sort, and from him much information could be learned. He was expecting two more groups of adventurers to arrive soon, bearing charters of their own. Pioneers and settlers were to come later on with the warmer weather to start establishing homesteads and a foothold on the Greenbelt. For now, though, a total of three adventuring parties, including those brave souls already present, was perfectly suited to his needs, as he had three directions that he needed explored. As the first arrivals, the party already at Oleg's would have first choice, and the others would have to settle for the remainder.<br/><br/>The lands around Oleg's were roughly known, thanks to the reports of the hunters and trappers who frequented his trading post. Going south, the first natural barrier in the Greenbelt was the Thorn River, a fast and deep river with steep banks overgrown with stinging nettles and tangles of sharp brambles. The lands between Oleg's and the Thorn River needed to be mapped and cleared of danger, and any crossings over the Thorn River needed to be found and secured, as the first step in reclaiming the Greenbelt. Bingley had three leads:<br/><ul class=""bbc_list"" style=""list-style-type: decimal;""><li>Southeast, a tribe of kobolds called the Sootscales dwelled somewhere in the Kamelands. Normally not a problem and keeping to themselves, they had been riled up by something lately, and were being even more unfriendly and sometimes downright hostile to passing hunters and trappers than before. The kobold issue needed to be handled to make sure they would not become a threat to future settlement.</li><li>South, the smokes of campfires, probably belonging to bandits, had been seen in the Greenbelt. Bandit incursions and highway ambushes were a constant nuisance in the southern borders of Brevoy. Settlement in the Greenbelt would only make them bolder and provide more plunder to support even more of them. The bandit problem was to be solved, permanently.</li><li>Southwest, the Narlmarches were said to be teeming with fey and exotic beasts. Fanciful tales told of creatures from wild boars to wyrms, repeated often enough that there had to be a grain of truth to them.

Perhaps this was why the site had been chosen as a campsite, but all that was left of three small tents now were ashes and smouldering ruin.

Newer were three sets of giant centipede tracks - the size and spacing of the prints suggesting five-foot-long monstrosities - that came from the north. Most recent of all were mixed kobold and giant centipede tracks that left the camp heading in the direction of the great tree on the hill.

That all changed when a strange purple-scaled kobold shaman, Tartuk, arrived a year ago bringing the idol with him. He claimed that the idol was a god of the kobolds, Old Sharptooth, and Tartuk was his high priest. The kobolds didn't believe him at first, but when one of the scoffers mysteriously died and his scales turned yellow, they were forced to submit lest divine punishment strike them down as well.<br/><br/>Ever since then, Tartuk had supplanted Chief Sootscale as the real controller of the kobolds, communing with the idol and relaying the god's aggressive and bloodthirsty demands, which included attacking strangers, blood sacrifice, and a disastrous war with the mites with whom they had been in an uneasy peace before. When a daring mite raid resulted in the loss of the idol, the kobolds had sent their best and strongest warriors to reclaim it at once, for fear that Old Sharptooth would turn them all yellow and strike them down if they allowed the idol to remain in the mites' filthy hands. And the adventurers had seen for themselves how well that had turned out.<br/><br/>Most of the kobolds, Mikmek and Chief Sootscale included, bemoaned the changes that had taken place ever since Tartuk showed up, but against divine will what could they do? The best they could hope for was that by retrieving the idol and perhaps with a few sacrifices, the wrath of Old Sharptooth would be mollified and they would live on.<br/>"

Outside the obvious, along with her bow and quiver sitting upon her back, she also wore high heeled boots.

She quickly returned to her relaxed state, not taking very much offense at someone who fights in high heels. Lyra, on the other hand didn't look very much like a warrior. She wore loose fitting, comfortable clothes in bright colors that went well with her subtle, grey-pink hair and jade eyes. Heavy armor wasn't her style and showing off her goods was the least of her worries. The ogles from the men of her encounters were something she was simply not interested in anyways.<br/><br/>Lyra sprung up out of her seat when the woman called Felina came to introduce herself. She put her hand out signaling a handshake.<br/><br/>""Lyra, it's nice to meet you."" She said to the room. The wildcard drew her gun from it's holster that rested upon her hip. Her eyes lit up and she spun the weapon around her index finger, showing off to the room.<br/><br/>""Of course I can open the way with this!"" A wide grin stretched across her face. ""It's called a Gun, and it's a girls best friend. I got it from a blacksmith a long time ago when I was living in the lands to the far north. It's a little weird for a weapon and extremely rare, but I like it."" Lyra aimed the gun at a window looking down the barrel and closing one eye. ""Sturdier than the earth itself, faster than lightning and more powerful than fire. I can take out anyone before they even know what hit 'em."" She then pointed the revolver directly at Anna. ""Pow."" She said with a playful giggle before holstering her weapon.<br/><br/>She walked to the quiet one who had yet to speak. ""What do you think? This is life or death we're talking about. Everyone should get their voice heard.""<br/><br/>Her expression was no longer a beaming one, but a more somber, serious look. ""I don't think that if we get arrested, they will let us keep our weapons, and I'm not parting with mine. The idea of rolling over to be captured like that doesn't sit well with me."" She looked at Felina. ""You seem like a nice person, but I don't know if I can trust that any of us will be able to break out once captured... Or that you will hold up your end of the bargain and free us without demanding something in return. Not to mention, Ms. Sunshine over here,"" Lyra signaled to Anna ""Would rather us all be dead and go do things on her own so what's to say that she won't just leave us there to rot? I say barging in the front door is the only option that makes any sense. No room for hidden agendas."" The gunslinger explained. It was not that she was always distrustful of people but these were people she just met who were voting for a suicide mission."

In either case, disguises weren't needed, so they could being their journey to Castle Bondage and finalize their plan on the way.<br/><br/>With their horses, the heroines reached Castle Bondage soon enough. The castle was rumoured to once have been the base of a mighty sorceress, who was defeated by a brave band of adventurers in the long forgotten days before unification of the kingdom. Abandoned for many years, the castle had been recently restored, new stonework repairing the once-crumbling walls so that they stood high once more, spires and turrets reaching up into the sky. A wide moat surrounded the castle, with a drawbridge being the only way in or out. Even the sky turned dark and cloudy, flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder adding a foreboding atmosphere,<br/><br/>The horses refused to go any further and the group was forced to dismount and cross the lowered drawbridge on foot. Not a single soul could be seen stirring within Castle Bondage, not even a sentry. Not until they were halfway across the bridge did a magical barrier spring up on the shore behind them, blocking any retreat, while ahead of them the gates opened. A sergeant leading five other guardswomen came out to greet the heroines. They bore the princess's heraldry on their armour.<br/><br/>""Halt!"" the sergeant commanded.

Felina had kept trying to convince her partners, and in particular Lyra, that getting imprisoned was the best alternative. Of course, their weapons would be taken from them but at least they would be in the castle and they would just need to find them once they had escaped from their gaols. It was hard to see if she had managed to convince them, though.<br/><br/>As they approached the daunting castle it seemed to her increasingly clearer that brute force stood no chance of success. Or rather that would bring them to prison in a more brutal way than was actually needed. Felina was still arguing with Lyra, through clenched teeth, as they walked along the drawbridge.<br/><br/><strong>""Don't be foolish! If they come out, do not resist!""</strong><br/><br/>Suddenly a magical barrier appeared behind them, blocking their way and then six female guards came towards them, weapons drawn, looking threatening.<br/><br/><strong>""Those are professional soldiers. That would be stupid to oppose them. Let me talk!""</strong>Felina whispered to her companions while stepping forward, lifting her empty hands above her head in a sign of peace. She then called to the one who looked the chief of the guards and said,<br/><br/><strong>""Excuse us if we are trespassing. Please believe our word that we come with no bad intentions.

Felina was about to unbuckle the belt that carried her dagger and all her throw-knives when a loud bang on her right made her jump. She saw Lyra who had pulled out her strange weapon. A puff of smoke was whirling above its barrel. She did not understand immediately what had happened until she saw one the guard who was in front of Lyra drop to her knees and fall off the bridge. She was as flabbergasted as the guards were.<br/><br/>From that point everything moved very fast but it was clear that there was no solution but to fight bravely. If they were captured now, their treatment was not going to be mild. Unfortunately, the giant squid tipped the balance heavily towards the guards. Felina was shocked by the loss of the Alchemist. It had all happened so fast. The situation was tricky.<br/><br/>Felina drew one of her throwing knives while selecting her target. The Sergeant had obviously conjured the squid by some magical trickery. Maybe if his concentration was broken the magics would stop and the squid would evaporate?<br/><br/>The Sergeant was heavily armoured but she had lifted the visor of her helmet, probably to have a better appreciation of the situation.

The guards were surprisingly well-armed and the castle was in far better condition than she would have expected from the spymaster's letter. As Felina tried to reason with the guards, Lyra slid her arm slowly down her hip until her fingers could grasp the cool steel of her trusty weapon.<br/><br/>Unsurprisingly, the castle guards were not so welcoming. Lyra gripped her gun still in the holster and took a step back. One of the guards attempted to confiscate her weapon, reaching for the artifact on her hip. The time for talk was over. Within an instant she drew the weapon and with a powerful crackle fired a bullet into the guard's chest, blasting through the poor woman's armor. For a moment time slowed to a still. The gunslinger drew a breath. Every draw of the trigger was like a jolt of lightning pulsing through her body. The smell of the gun-smoke filled her nostrils and it brought her to a serene calm. The moment when she fired the shot was an all too familiar slice of bliss that she was more than happy to experience over and over again.<br/><br/>With the alchemist gone to the giant squid in the moat along with one of the guards, she was well aware of the danger of the situation. She moved along the drawbridge to gain an advantageous position to take out the leader but by the time she had a chance to aim, a knife was firmly planted between the leader's eyes. ""Well well well, nice shot!"" She shouted to Felina. Lyra then turned her attention to an aggressive looking guard.

Nothing special about it. Lyra rolled out of the sword range of her opponent and took a second to take notice of the situation around her. With the leader of the guards out of commission, the giant squid was no where to be seen... and neither was Marian.<em>Poor thing... but that's what can happen in these situations.

It came with the territory.<br/><br/>She turned her attention back to her current opponent. Just another soldier 'doing their job' and 'following orders.' It never matters if they are outmatched and outclassed, they just march on to their graves. Not a single mark of a soul or individuality about them.

Funny to see the chief abandoning her troops. As expected, the squid retreated into the water too, leaving only four guards to oppose them. Suddenly, things had become way more manageable. Maybe Lyra was right? Brute force was the best option, facing such laughable opposition.<br/><br/>One of the guards approached her to fight at close quarters. She unsheathed her dagger and got ready to welcome her. With a sweeping move of her weapon she parried the attack while stepping to the side. The guard's momentum carried her farther than she intended, making her offer her flank to a quick attack. Felina spun on herself in the same movement that made her dodge the attack and stabbed her opponent through a space between to armor plates.<br/><br/>Backstepping to be ready for the next attack she looked around her.

All of their strikes had missed, either with the group evading or simply a lack of balance in the attacks given. Anna had to admit though, their attacks did have her on her toes, especially with the squid monster recently retreated into the murky below. Lyra of course unable to restrain herself from opening her mouth and trash-talking her foes, but she wasn't going to complain, she was obviously holding her own and was a valued member of the group. But the gunslinger wasn't the only one with skills to defeat a small unit of guards-women, Anna forced into melee combat with a recent charging of the guard, narrowly evading the guard's strike. Following with her own attack, with a powerful side kick, attempting to kick her back to once again gain a ranged advantage and use her powerful arrows. Her strike intended to gran her space, but was also intended on striking the guard off the bridge. Her foot found nothing but air, recovering into a ready position for the following attacks, doing something she rarely did... vocalizing her opinion to the group with a loud and solid tone of voice.<br/><br/>""Dammit! We've gotta finish off these guards!""<br/><br/>Anna flared in frustration as not only did they appear to lose their cleric to that sea-monster and with both Felina and Lyra striking blows against their foes but Anna clearly missing her attack only to be left open to attack. With whatever steady position she took, she still remained in close quarters with the guard before her.

With they armours they had no chance to escape her and indeed in a few steps she was already going to catch them. Trembling like leaves they tried to swing the large doors of the main gate. Upon seeing Felina and her friends rushing at them, they again lost their temper and ran away, their armor plates clanging and rattling.<br/><br/>Felina heard more armour noises coming from the top of the entrance towers. Quickly, with the help of her companions, they secured the doors leading to the staircases so that the remaining guards were trapped upside and would not risk to bother them. Felina also recovered her throwing knife, which the Sergeant had dropped there.<br/><br/>Only then did they followed those they had terrorised.

At the end of the hallway was a set of heavy double doors, which easily swung open inwards with but a push, revealing the room behind them.<br/><br/>It appeared more like a dungeon than any place to live. The walls were cold windowless stone lit only by a few torch sconces. On the far wall was a great pegboard upon which hung key after key of all shapes and sizes. Arranged around the room were four sinister toys: the cross, the chair, the pillory, and the horse.<br/><br/>The cross was an X-shaped frame. The victim's arms and legs were tied, one to each spoke of the cross, leaving her exposed and completely at the mercy of whoever wanted to play with her.<br/><br/>The chair was a rocker fitted with many restraints to hold a victim in place. A pair of dildos were fixed underneath the chair, with holes cut in the seat to allow the toys to protrude through the seat. When rocked, the victim would be rolled on and off these strategically placed dildos.<br/><br/>The pillory had a large central hole for the victim's neck and two smaller holes on either side for the victim's wrists. There was also a spreader bar for the ankles and cross bars for the torso to lock the victim in place in specific poses, the current one forcing the victim to stand on her feet but bent horizontally at the waist, pushing her ass out.<br/><br/>The horse had sloped sides polished smoothly to make it difficult for the victim to grip with her legs. Yet if the victim did not grip and hold herself up, her weight would press down on the narrow tip of the triangle where the horse's edges met, putting intense pressure on the victim's delicate sex.<br/><br/>All four toys were currently occupied by beautiful nude girls. The heroines even recognized the one on the horse - out of her armour, she looked much more delicate, but there was no denying that this was the sergeant, especially since she now had a fresh eyepatch over her ruined eye. Her arms were tied behind her back, making it impossible for her to get off the horse under her own power. The other three victims received no mercy, either. The chair was rocking and dropping its victim on the pair of dildos over and over again. The other two victims tied to the cross and the pillory had vibrators pushed deep within their sexes, buzzing merrily. The room was filled with the sounds of their tortured moans of pleasure.<br/><br/>In the centre of the room the Knight Captain stood, receiving her guests. She snapped her fingers, and the toys' restraints came undone for the three other than the unfortunate sergeant, whose desperate cries continued to provide background music to the room. The three women dropped out of their restraints as armour materialized over their bodies, and when they got to their feet, they were armoured and ready for battle, all too eager to please their mistress and be given the privilege of being locked back in the Knight Captain's toys after dealing with the intruders.<br/><br/>""Whatever evil plans you have for the princess, I shall stop them!"" The Knight Captain declared proudly. She and her Knights wore matching armour and looked unarmed, but certainly didn't appear concerned about that minor detail, and were clearly itching for a fight.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">The Royal Four</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Autocad-E/sample_bd43f2ddb496f0ac676df3abab7ca7db_zps202309fb.png)</div></div><br/><hr/><br/>Captain (Defense 11, HP 40)<br/>3x Knight (Defense 11, HP 25)<br/><br/>Heroines go first."

The sight of the guards fleeing and leaving the castle wide open made Lyra chuckle. She couldn't believe how incompetent the guardswomen were. She winked at Felina, ""Told ya, piece of cake!"" She said with a smile. As the group pursued the fleeing defenders, Lyra heard a bell unsurprisingly start to sound. To think that the four of them could cause such a ruckus was down right embarrassing. She had some easy missions before but this was almost farcical.<br/><br/>It wasn't long until the party came across a fork in their path. With their path blocked behind them, they had but two choices. Knight's Quarters and Maid Quarters. In their breather she popped out the chamber and loaded up her revolver with more bullets to replace the ones embedded in the guards. Lyra spun the chamber after snapping it back into place with a whirr. Agreeing with Felina, she and the group made their way into the room that was considered the Knight's Quarters. After swinging open the giant doors, the gunslinger was stunned by what she saw.<br/><br/>The debauchery before her was not something she was expecting. The women bound and teased, toys for torture in many orifices. The moans and screams of pain mixed with pleasure flooded her ears and made it hard for her to think. She was too distracted by everything to notice the pathetic guard leader on the wooden horse. Lyra felt a small drop leak from her lower lips and slide down her leg as she bit her lip to try and pull herself together. Fortunately, her juices were masked by a comfortable pair of jeans. It seemed more like a bdsm dungeon than any sort of quarters.<br/><br/>Clearly, the party was interrupting their good times when the Captain. It looked as if the knights were becoming even more foolish, this time attempting to attack them without weapons. Perhaps they just weren't thinking straight.<br/><br/>The wildcard laughed at the Captian's cheesey battle cry. ""Evil plans? We're only tryi... Ah, screw it. Why don't you run away like the rest of your men?"" Lyra knew that there wouldn't be any point in talking things out, or arguing with the woman. She moved to the edge of the room and took aim at the captain, getting in an advantageous position. Lyra was still a little heated up from witnessing the sexed-up women knights but when she pulled that trigger, gun smoke filled the air as a powerful crackle filled the air and it was all she needed to get her head back in the moment. Her shot hit the guard in the gut, a few inches left of her navel. Lyra smiled and turned to Felina, ""Looks like I got a shot in the leader this time.""<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft""><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">                                                                Dice Rolls                                                                </div><div class=""spoiler_body"">&gt;Move then Attack (Projectile Attack) Captian<br/>Hit Roll: 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4541621/) Hit!<br/>Damage: 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4541623/)<br/></div></div></div>"

She wasn't usually the gung-ho type, one to charge into combat and mess everyone up, especially in such a fortification such as a castle. Her heeled feet carrying Anna just as swiftly as the others, making sure to keep some what of a distance behind them. When the hunter appeared around the corner and finally making her appearance in the room she was halted in her tracks at the sheer sight of the guards women restrained.

She pulled the offending blade out and dropped it to the floor with a clatter, her flesh already mending in its wake. Same with the bullet wound, which was rapidly closing and mending, leaving behind only unscarred skin. Likewise her knights recovered from the arrow attack in seconds, apparently none the worse for wear.<br/><br/>On the other hand, the sharp-eyed heroines could see that their efforts weren't entirely in vain - even as the Captain's flesh healed, the damage was transferred to her armour, parts of which turned black and shriveled like flames consuming paper. Her Knights' armours were similar sporting damage, though to a lesser extent.<br/><br/>Before they had a chance to ponder what would happen if they dealt enough damage to disintegrate all of their enemies' armour, however, the Knights sprang into action at a command from their beloved Captain. ""Hold the redhead,"" she ordered, and one of the Knights moved so fast that she practically teleported in front of Felina. Grabbing the rogue by the wrists before she could bring her deadly knives to bear, the Knight attempted to twist Felina's arms behind her back, but the slippery rogue managed to slip out of the painfully tight grasp before the Knight could complete her hold. ""Must I do everything myself?"" The Captain cursed as she pushed the Knight aside, but they got in each other's way and the Captain was unable to get her hands on Felina.<br/><br/>Meanwhile the other two Knights went for other targets. One stepped up to Mel to put pressure on her spellcasting, with a wing of the fist towards the cleric's unprotected face - no punches held back, here - that came too close to connecting for comfort.<br/><br/>The other recognized Lyra, her face darkening with quiet fury. ""So you're the one who shot my little sister in cold blood. Your fancy gun's not going to save you this time!"" Before the gunslinger could let off another shot, the Knight had closed the distance and grabbed Lyra's gun hand. A brutal twist pulled her arms behind her back, the revolver dropping to the floor. Holding Lyra down in a submission lock, the Knight muttered a rapid incantation under her breath. First to draw blood and now first to be bound, the wildcard's own clothing betrayed her, her jacket transforming into a leather harness with straps digging into her chest around her breasts, over her shoulders and around her waist. The legs of her jeans fell away while the remaining fabric narrowed and pulled up, turning into a crotch strap that dug between her lower lips and fastened onto the harness above. Even the slightest movement would cause the strap to rub and tease her juicy sex. The fingers of her gloves fused together trapping her fingers in useless, unwieldy mittens, and lengthened into armsleeves that attached to the harness to keep her arms tight behind her back. ""Already wet?

Things were not at all as they seemed for this encounter, so the gunslinger knew she had to be on her guard. Had she been a wiser woman, she would know to not underestimate the underlings in a bizarre situation like this. However, with a knight and the captain both struggling to get a hold of Felina, she couldn't pass up a golden opportunity to unload into the captain's back!<br/><br/>With the leader in her sights, Lyra's hail of bullets was interrupted when the white haired woman swiftly approached her. She turned to fire a shot but before she got the chance, the knight was already too close. With a heavy clang, Lyra's gun hit the floor as her arms were twisted behind her. The gunslinger planned to headbutt the woman to break her hold, but as she leaned forward she felt an odd sensation. It was almost as if water was flowing around her arms and hands, leaving them stuck together. A subtle gasp escaped her lips as her pants fell away, leaving her in a harness with a strap digging into her pussy that seemed to respond to every movement. Aside from the shirt underneath the straps that managed to lift and separate her B-cup breasts, she was naked in combat! Her cheeks has a subtle flush of embarrassment about them.<br/><br/>""I'm the slut? You and your friends are the ones who live in a sex dungeon."" She remarked as she was released from the knight's grasp. Lyra took advantage of the opportunity to get some distance between her and the white haired knight. She needed to stall for time until she had a chance to retrieve her gun. She backed away slowly, keeping her focus on her new target... when she was not being sidetracked by the leather strap rubbing against her with every step. ""If you wanted to play, you should have just said so."" She smiled with a wink. ""But you'll have to wait, ok? I have some things to finish up first.""<br/><br/>The gunslinger struggled against her arm binder and it almost felt like she was going to be able to loosen it up quite a bit... but with the leather strap digging into her, it provided just enough of a distraction that she wasn't able to get any closer to escaping her bindings. ""And to think, I just picked up this jacket... It's going to cost a fortune to get another one."" With a frustrated grunt she stopped picking at it. For now, she just had to focus on the knight's next move and stay out of the way of her attacks until she could get a hand free.<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft""><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">                                                                Dice Rolls                                                                </div><div class=""spoiler_body"">&gt;Move away from Knight, then Struggle<br/>Escape Roll: (10 - 1) = 9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4545374/) No change<br/></div></div></div>"

She made a few steps backward, unsheathing her daggers, one in each hand, and assuming a fighting stance. It seemed the Knight Captain had chosen her as her target, moving straight for her. She probably had not appreciated her double throw.<br/><br/><strong>""Did that hurt? Do you want more?""</strong>she teased her, getting ready to parry her attack. At that moment she felt her arms grabbed from behind. One of the knights had treacherously sneaked around her and attacked her from behind. Already the Captain was moving for the kill.<br/><br/>But Felina was not an easy fish to catch. She contorted her body and arms and slipped out of the hold like an anguilla. In the same move, she grabbed her sneaky attacker's hair and yanked her forward, throwing her in the legs of the Captain as she tried to grab her too. The Captain stumbled on her subaltern, badly failing her attack. For a moment she staggered, desperately trying not to fall. Felina was swift to use this to her advantage, attacking with her two daggers at the same time.<br/><br/><strong>""Get on your knees and submit to us!""</strong>she snarled.<br/><br/>Only then did Felina get the time to look around her and to her dismay she realised that Lyra had been rendered nearly helpless. Her arms were bound very tightly against her torso and she was contorting and twisting herself in an effort to free herself.<br/><br/><strong>""Lyra, keep struggling.

The Captain cried out as the ferocity of Felina's twin strokes forced her down on one knee. Her armour fell apart, crumbling in bits and pieces, leaving her in just lacy black lingerie.<br/><br/>The loyal knights leapt to the aid of their beleaguered commander, ""Triangle attack!"" they called out as they converged upon Felina from all sides, holding her down while they chanted ominous words of magical power together as one. The rogue's clothing, top and pants both, bunched together and tightened and hardened and transformed into a leather harness to match Lyra's. Strap crisscrossed her chest in a diagonal cross that left her breasts uncovered, wound around her upper arms a few times and then connected to each other behind her back, leaving her freedom of movement only below the elbow. Most of the material of her pants disintegrated leaving only leather cuffs around her thighs and ankles, each of the two pairs of cuffs connected by another short strap that ran between her left and right legs, forcing her to only take small steps.<br/><br/>Behind the protective cordon of her knights, the Captain drew out a tiny, green-tinted crystal from beneath her brassiere. ""Sylph, holy guardian of wind, in my hour of need I summon thee!"" she intoned as she lifted the gem in the air and crushed it in her hand. A great wind rose with all the unbridled fury of the storm and swept around the room in circles, sweeping up keys and locks into the air from the pegboard at the back of the room. ""Whirlwind of locks!"" The Captain cried out, and the keys and locks homed in on the heroines' bindings as they flew by, trying to latch on! While gale-force winds and the dangers presented by flying bits of metal prevented everybody else, even her own minions, from taking action, the Captain herself moved as though she was in the eye of the storm, unaffected by the chaos around her. She tackled Felina and shoved her towards the pillory, pushing her head down in the central hole of the bottom half of the board, and snapping the top half down to secure her neck before the rogue could push the Captain away. The only consolation, if that, was that her hands had avoided a similar fate.<br/><br/>When the wind died down a few seconds later, scattering various keys all over the floor, the locks had managed to attach themselves to Lyra's harness and Felina's leg cuffs, making it impossible to fully remove those restraints without disabling the locks first.

Hopefully, once the knight captain was defeated, her minions would quickly run away. The same thought had perhaps crossed her enemy's mind as well as she called her knights in protection. Before Felina had the chance to do anything, the three of them converged on her attacking her from all sides.<br/><br/>Felina reacted like a fury, spinning and twisting and contorting to evade their attacks, but they were just too numerous. All of a sudden she felt her arms pulled to her sides and her ankles hobbled as her clothes turned to leather straps that constricted her skin. With a blush she realised that this had made her naked, except for her panties and bra, naked in front of her enemies and her friends!<br/><br/>However, her ordeal was not ended. The Captain yanked her by her hair and dragged her. Felina braced on her bare feet to resist the tug but, with hobbled legs and fierce pain in her scalp she could not to much. When she saw where the Captain wanted to lead her she resisted even more furiously, contorting her torso, yanking on her restraints. Still, she soon felt the wood of the pillory against her throat and the noise of the top stock falling on her neck echoed in her skull. She was so enraged that she did not even feel the padlocks that secured her hobble.<br/><br/>She roared in furor, bracing herself against the pillory, trying to pull her head out of the hole. Of course, this was useless and she quickly calmed down. Looking left and right she saw the pin that was keeping the two stocks together. If only she could reach it… Maneuvering her body sidewards, she climbed on her toes and pulled on her restraints until the tip of her fingers touched the pin. She managed to snap it off, releasing the pillory.<br/><br/>Immediately she straightened herself, lifting the upper stock and swinging it to the side. She continued to twist herself and contort her arms as she tried to get free of her torso bondage, alas she was totally powerless against it.<br/><br/>She glared at the Captain and hissed,<strong>""You are going to pay for that!""</strong><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Dice rolls</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Struggle against pillory: 1d20 Result: 10 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=60479)<br/>Struggle against torso bondage: 1d20 Result: 1 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=60480)<br/></div></div>"

Unfortunately, her attention was squarely placed on the knight before her...<br/><br/>Then, her opponent left her to aid the captain. Leaving Lyra all on her own. ""Wow... I actually talked her out of it."" She chuckled. The circumstance was odd but otherwise welcome. This gave her an opportunity to bust out of her restraints and get her gun back, assuming that she could focus on something besides her crotch for a second. She was alert enough to notice the strange tornado of locks and keys heading her way. A couple of chucks of metal hit her in the storm and a lock caught onto her binding but she managed to avoid the most of it by taking cover behind the guard captain who was still locked and moaning away on the wooden horse. With no one able to fight around, this was her chance to take her time and break out of as much as she could.<br/><br/>The gunslinger managed to catch the black leather armbinder on the sharp corner of the wooden horse in front of her. With a little effort she managed to cut off most of the leather. Lyra lamented the fact that she was tearing apart what used to be a nice jacket and gloves, but she kept cutting it on the corner and most of the leather fell away including the devilish crotch strap. The only part that wouldn't was a part of the harness that held her upper arms tight against her body.<br/><br/>That was the part that caught the lock. ""I bet that lock is giving the leather in this area special properties."" She deduced as she picked up several keys from the floor. ""Hey eyepatch, be a dear and hold on to this for me."" Lyra took advantage of the poor guard captain, shoving several keys between her lips. She shimmied up next to her and positioned the lock in front of the keys, one by one, until one of them fit. One the key was in, Lyra jerked her body to get the key to turn, much to the other woman's dismay. With a clang the lock fell to the floor. ""Thank you!""

Stepping back from Mel, she took a ranged position roughly six feet away, as to cover not only Mel but the wildcard and the fiery rogue whom appeared to be the main targets of this little scuffle. She couldn't blame the knights either, as they had been the ones making the most  noise and twisting the knife with each small victory. Safe to say Anna had been quite arrogant around her comrades but hadn't let her foes know it. Anna stood there in her heels shoulder width apart, her bow held by her side while her free hand balled into a fist. Her eyes narrowed in such disdain for these knights and with a focused determination she hadn't had up until now, and now was the time to get back on the offensive and back up Lyra and the gun-toting gal whom had almost appeared to WANT help.<br/><br/>She was getting serious and was happy to give it, preparing to fire off an arrow strong and true. That was until she noticed the gusting winds engulfing the room, forcing Anna to sustain her balance and shield her face from any ""Debris"" or keys from striking her. Small almost inaudible moans and sighs escaped her painted lips,  while those flying pieces struck against her while she took a defensive posture. The winds calming down and the enemy forces carried on to attack her fellow teammates and at that moment, the moment Anna reached to retrieve an arrow from her quiver that Mel called the gods to bless the hunter. She felt her focused vision become even more clear, things even felt as if they slowed down a little, as if the time had been stalled whilst Anna lined up her shot. And lining up her shot is what she did, taking the arrow into the bow, pulling back just enough to gain full tension as her eye lined up the shot. Anyone looking upon Anna saw her bend her knees, pulling back and closing one eye barely a second before releasing the arrow. The arrow flying through the air, zipping past Mel, most likely close enough to scare the hell out of her before it reached the captain.<br/><br/>""I got your back!""<br/><br/>She then yelled at the top of her lungs, not only to inspire the group but in hopes to throw off the knights. The serious look on her face turned to a soft calming one with a smile and a node Mel's direction as if thanking her for her aide.<br/><br/>""Stop Fooling around Lyra, gods forbid me having to be the one saving your ass.""<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Attack: Projectile<br/>Type: Ranged Attack<br/>Target: Captain<br/>Roll: 12+3+1 (16) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=60686)<br/>Damage: 6 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=60687)<br/></div></div>"

She tried to push the rogue down into the pillory, but it was much more difficult to get a hold of the rogue without four-to-one odds, and she couldn't grab Felina properly when she was getting distracted by a timely arrow from Anna, that caused even more of her armour to disintegrate, leaving her almost naked at this point.<br/><br/>There were no more four-to-one odds against Felina because the Knights were splitting up to go after separate targets again. One of them went for Anna to punish her for shooting her beloved Captain! A swift open-palm strike to the ranger's breasts sent her staggering back a step, and she had seen what happened next before... but now she got to feel it first hand as her shirt bunched up over her breasts and turned into tight-fitting leather straps that dug into her flesh and also wrapped around her upper arms, binding them against her torso and making it really tricky to use her bow.<br/><br/>The Knight who was engaging Lyra before now returned her attention to the gunslinger. As Lyra cut away some of the leathers binding her, the Knight stepped up to catch her and restore some of the bindings, but she wasn't fast enough to get her hands on Lyra again.<br/><br/>The third Knight decided to do something about Mel's blessings and went for the apparently defenceless cleric. She made a complicated gesture with her hands and conjured up a red rubber ball with two leather straps attached on opposite ends.

It was only a matter of seconds before her assailant returned, but Lyra managed to just slip past the white haired knight's attempt to re-restrain her. In the motion of ducking out of the grasp of the knight, she noticed that Anna was now bound in the same way as herself and the thief. She couldn't help but giggle at her comrade. ""Maybe if you didn't pay so much attention to my ass, you wouldn't think that it needs your saving... Not that it wouldn't be unwelcome of course."" She winked, not even knowing if the ranger was paying attention to her anymore. With a smile she muttered to herself. ""Though, I wouldn't mind having to save your ass.""<br/><br/>When Mel was gagged, she felt the atmosphere of the room change a little bit. The air seemed a bit thicker and the lighting seemed a little bit different. What the gunslinger didn't understand, is that when the Cleric could no longer speak, her blessings would quickly weaken and disappear. Lyra was never very attuned to the intricacies of diving magic and blessings, often confusing the magical aid of others as mere coincidence or serendipity. On rare occasion, she would pick up on something magical that wasn't obvious but even then, she wasn't really sure. Nevertheless, she noticed something seemed off even if she couldn't put her finger on it and figured it was time to let loose, bound or not.<br/><br/>With a small clink, she noticed her trusted revolver at her feet. Keeping an eye on the knight in front of her, she kicked her gun up off the ground and caught it with her hand. ""Thanks for waiting earlier, but I'm not quite finished with what I need to do."" She said as she moved to get make some distance between her and the woman hell bent on revenge. She considered her opponent to be a competent fighter and knew that if things kept going the way that they were, it would only be a matter of time before she would be caught and fall into real trouble. Her best bet of escaping a tight situation was the daggers that Felina had with her. The Captain seemed to be almost nude, seeming to signal that their attacks would soon do some serious damage. If she could eliminate the threat the odds would be in their favor. With her arms bound to her sides, it made it difficult to get a clean shot but without hesitation the gunslinger fired twice in one dexterous squeeze of the trigger.<br/><br/>The hammer slammed against the gun with a clang, causing the powder to ignite and fire off two bullets at her target. Her aim wasn't the best without the upper half of the body to assist in her aiming, but the fiery gun-toting gal managed to hit her mark as usual... for the most part. The first bullet grazed the Captain's exposed shoulder and the second bullet was a little closer to hitting the flesh. Had she been able to move properly, she knew she would have hit the enemy dead on. ""Rats, I hope that does the trick."" She said to herself as she turned her attention back towards the white haired knight, trying to anticipate the warrior's next strike.<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft""><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">                                                                Dice Rolls                                                                </div><div class=""spoiler_body""><br/>&gt;Move and use Double Tap against Knight Captain<br/>Hit Roll: 15 (-2) = 13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4565357/) Hit!<br/>Damage: 2 + 1 = 3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4565363/)<br/></div></div></div>"

What followed had been as swift and decisive as the entire fight had been up until now, letting the girls know that as the castle's guards they weren't giving any quarter. Her eyes trained over the scene before her, knight's spread out and the group taking the offensive. At least until the knight's took the initiative, striking back with their counter offensive, one so swift Anna barely had time to blink before she felt her frame shoved backwards by a rather abrupt attack. Within that instant of falling back, Anna was kicking herself for paying too much attention to Mel, trying to keep an eye on her as if she were protecting a younger sister. Mel appeared to be the weakest of their group, not only physically but emotionally. But with the strike following through, Anna's trek backwards ended with a desperate need to stay vertical, almost tumbling to the ground.<br/><br/>""Tch....... Hnhg!""<br/><br/>The hunter made it clear she was upset with the knight whom struck, a daring merciless glare into the knight's eyes for the briefest of moment before her own shirt took on a mind of it's own. Constricting around her upper body, her soft lips let slip a long uncomfortable moan, a feint blush appearing over her cheeks when a distinct groping feeling took her supple breasts and knowing it was her own top made it feel all the worse. The rest of her upper body's bondage continued, her shoulders which made gripping her bow a pain. Following with her solar plexus which hadn't made breathing harder in anyway, though forced her to breath purposefully rather than naturally. Anna stumbled back a few more steps, a more clear view on what was going on, attempting to make sure she had enough room and time to figure out a way to escape. In the meantime, Mel's lips were gagged as the room's aura changed and Lyra's comments were coming in loud and clear.... well as loud and clear as they could be with the fighting going on.<br/><br/>""..... Remind me to spank you when we're out of this mess....""<br/><br/>Anna whispered to herself, struggling against the bonds in a calm collected manner, making sure to keep an eye on any would-be attackers. Anna's words most likely not fallen upon any one else's ears, making sure not to distract her comrades in arms. Her words were also meant to distract her from her current predicament, doing her best not to panic in anyway. She was thankful that her team mates had been busy, as the expression on her face had been a dire one at best. Her feelings on being out of control bring up past memories and experiences, so Anna had been caught between hard ass and distressed damsel which even had her breaking a sweat. Her hands gripped into fists, holding tightly her bow as she refused to let it go. Eventually her ""some-what"" level head approach aided in freeing her from her bonds, without completely tearing her top into shreds. She now appeared as though she was wearing a a jacket over her undergarments, her bra a plain white holding her breasts now free from her own top's molestation.<br/><br/>""There!""<br/><br/>She exclaimed before taking another few steps back and taking a ranged position from the knight that struck her.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Attack: Struggle<br/>Type: Escape<br/>Target: Torso Binding<br/>Roll: 13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=61229)<br/>Result: Escape Success!<br/></div></div>"

The Knight Captain shoved Felina backwards. Bound as she was, the rogue's momentum caused her to fall backwards, but instead of falling to the ground, she found herself falling into a large rocking chair that had two holes drilled into the seat. Leather straps animated of their own accord, slipping around Felina's wrists, arms, ankles, thighs, and waist, then looping back to secure themselves and hold her in the chair. The Captain didn't seem to notice, or flat out ignored, Lyra's shots chipping off even more of her heavily damaged armour, so intent was she on gloating over Felina. ""I'm sure you'll love what I've got planned for you,"" she announced with a sadistic smile.<br/><br/>The other Knights maintained the pressure on the other heroines to cover their Captain. Seeing Anna break loose of her straps, the Knight tasked on her stepped up and landed two swift karate chops on the ranger's arms. She didn't use a lot of force, so it didn't hurt too badly - but pain was not the Knight's goal, as the harness renaimated, undoing all of Anna's progress and then some! The leather restraints wrapped around her arms where the Knight had struck, and proceeded make a few more loops around her arms and torso, now holding both her upper and lower arms to her sides.<br/><br/>Another Knight did the same to Lyra, a pair of swift blows on the gunslinger's arms and again the leather straps flew to where she had struck. They pulled down Lyra's arms and tied them to her sides, until she and Anna resembled a matching pair of leather bondage exhibitionists.<br/><br/>The last Knight laughed off Mel's blow as her armour absorbed the impact. ""I guess you do want more!"" she taunted, and kicked up a key from the ground with her boot, catching it in her hand. Spinning behind the cleric before she could react, the Knight pressed the key against the strap of the gag behind her head. A lock materialized on the strap and the Knight turned the key with a click, then threw it back onto the floor soon lost among all the other keys.

Worse yet, the persistent woman managed to get Felina strapped down on one of her toys. ""Damn it, this might be bad, that rogue is pretty handy in a fight."" She murmured to herself. As if the knights were just playing around before, but now they decided to fight seriously. She was too distracted by the others getting locked down and bound to notice the incoming chop from her own opponent. At first the attack seemed strange but when the straps of leather came flying and added themselves to her harness, it made sense. Fortunately, it only further strapped her arms to her sides, but didn't force the gun out of her hand. She turned her attention to the white haired knight once more.<br/><br/>""You've been awfully quite since your return. Did the thief give you a hard time over there or something?"" She teased as she tried to break the straps, this time through sheer force. The gunslinger was able to shake off the straps that tried to fuse to the rest of the harness before they had a chance to finish merging completely together. ""Like I said before, I have work to do. We can play once I'm done, I promise. Until then I need you to be a good girl and go play with your friend, eyepatch, on the horse until I come get you. Ok?""<br/><br/>With the Knight Captain per-occupied, Lyra knew that she had a good shot at her opponent. If she could just remove one person from the equation things would be better for the four of them. Taking advantage of the fact that Mel left herself wide open for an attack from Felina's play partner, she aimed her gun at not the woman directly but at the iron shield hanging above the doorway that acted as the castle's emblem. ""Here we go!"" She shouted. A jolt of excitement coursed through her as she pulled the trigger while moving the gun in a very specific way. With a loud ping the bullet ricocheted and grazed the Knight Captain's cheek, leaving a deep cut. Lyra cursed under her breath. The bounce was off slightly to just avoid a killing head shot. Two chances, two tricks, two failures.

The Captain's attack took her aback. Apparently it was not a dangerous one. A mere shove that would not have bothered the redhead, in normal conditions. Alas, as she tried recover her balance, her feet got entangled in their connecting strap. She staggered backward some more. Her heels hit something as she shuffled her feet desperately and she fell hard onto a chair. Worst, the chair began to tip backward. She was going to fall!<br/><br/>Luckily it was a rocking chair and after reaching the extreme point, Felina swung back forward. Still her heart was beating at a panicked speed. Even more so when she felt straps beginning to latch on her body. First her waist got strapped down, then her legs and arms.<br/><br/>She shook herself out of panic as the leather belts tried to ensnare her right arm. Ha, ha! A common mistake all her opponents did, assuming that she was left-handed. In fact, she was ambidextrous, which had often allowed her to surprise her enemies. This time again it was going to help her. While struggling with her right arm with all her might, her left hand reached for a throwing knife and, before straps could grapple it, she threw it at the Captain.<br/><br/>Alas, in her near panic, Felina had not taken the rocking of the chair into account and her projectile missed its target by a large amount before sticking itself into the wooden horse. Felina cursed while straps instantly attacked her left arm too. Soon she was securely pinned against the chair.<br/><br/>The rogue looked left and right at her companions and her heart clenched as she saw that all of them were bound in a way or another. No help could be expected from them for the moment at least. Roaring in a mix of anger and fear, Felina could no longer stop the fear from flooding her mind. She began to struggle with all her mind, yanking at her strapped legs and arms without any coherence. The thigh leather belts dug into her flesh, her breasts bounced in all direction, she even banged her head against the back of the chair. Alas, after about 15 seconds of frantic and desperate squirming it was obvious that she had done nothing to free herself.<br/><br/>By now Felina was panting heavily. Her naked skin was covered in sweat as her muscles bulged uselessly against their restraints. Still, she was not ready to abandon.<br/><br/><strong>""Kill that bitch!""</strong>she screamed at her companions.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Dice rolls</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Projectiles against Captain: 1d20+1 = &gt; 4: Failed (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=61350)<br/>Struggling against strap chair: 1d20 =&gt; 6: Failed (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=61351)</div></div>"

Her own attention however had been more preoccupied with the knight whom swiftly took to two consecutive strikes against her arms, Anna of course sliding back to gauge some distance one again only to find herself up against a wall.<em>""My turn!""</em>she thought, as her painted lips perked into a devious smile when reaching for an arrow and readying her shot. While doing so she took to bending her knees and closing one eye to end the knight who struck her, but as the arrow had been released her attire once again took to securing the Hunter's upper body. The arrow fired directly at the wall, missing everyone in sight and crumbling into pieces against the stone.<br/><br/>""Wh-Wha!?""<br/><br/>Anna groaned while her own attire betrayed her once again, struggling against all odds until finally her arms lay by her side, tight in close as she felt that similar tight feeling all over from the waist up. Her cheeks flushed a light red-pink colour with an expression of distressed aggravation, breathing becoming difficult in the slightest, not enough to falter her skills but enough for others to take notice that she forced herself to breath. It did however throw the Hunter off balance, falling to a knee as her bow fell to the ground, while Lyra and Mel took similar treatment. Lyra, a headstrong gunslinger had been the only one on the counter attack for the moment. Which in turn made Anna feel pretty silly and useless being caught up in a restraint such as this by the most unpleasant of knights.<br/><br/>""Grr..... Ahh!""<br/><br/>Anna had had enough of course, and this time it hadn't been her skill as a hunter that forced the restrained to buckle but her strength through pride.

The Knight Captain turned on Mel with a deadly whisper. She gestured for the knight attacking Mel to 'attend' to Felina instead. The Knight Captain grabbed Mel and pushed her against the X-shaped cross. Manacles were snapped shut around the cleric's wrists and ankles; the restraints were connected by short chains to the arms of the cross, giving Mel only a few inches of slack to move. ""Perhaps this will teach you to behave,"" she hissed.<br/><br/>Meanwhile the knight went to work, picking up keys and using them to create locks on the straps tying Felina down to the rocking chair. She started with the straps binding the rogue's wrists and ankles. ""You won't attack my Captain again!"" the knight promised, making sure to double-check that both wrists were locked down tightly.<br/><br/>As for the other two knights, they backed away from Ana and Lyra for a moment. If the girls thought that they were getting a reprieve, they were terribly mistaken. The knights muttered an incantation in perfect synchronization. Ana's and Lyra's harnesses animated again in perfect synchronization, as though they were mirror images of one another! More leather straps wrapped around their bodies, binding them tight. The restraints on their arms were even tighter than the rest, forcing their arms to bend behind their backs in a reverse prayer, thin strips of leather binding each finger on one hand to its counterpart on the other.

Felina saw with anxiety the Captain drag Mel to a X-cross and strap her to it while her two other friends restraints were tightened to the point of making them nearly helpless. Just as she was looking at this, one of the knights approached her, holding a set of padlocks. Felina squirmed harder at this sight, contorting her limbs, pulling on the straps that held them to the chair. Alas there was nothing she could do to prevent the padlocks to be clicked on the buckles holding her ankles and wrists. With a snarl, the knight swung the key in front of Felina's nose and then dropped it on the floor, besides the chair but frustratingly out of her reach.<br/><br/>A cold trickle of perspiration ran down her spine as she realised her helplessness had just got one level deeper. Despair struck her heart and she nearly renounced. At this moment however her eyes caught something glistening around the Captain's neck. Upon close inspection she realised it was a key, a very special one. Surely it had to be the master key, the one that opened all the keyholes. If only she could get it!<br/><br/>Reinvigorate by this sight, Felina resumed her escape attempts. Shifting her weight back and forth as far as her restraints allowed she rocked the chair farther and farther. She had seen where the knight had dropped the key to her padlocks and she had kept her eyes fixed on it. Suddenly the rocking chair reached the point where she seemed to hang in equilibrium in mid-air. And then it fell forward. Felina clenched her fists and her eyes, awaiting the shock.<br/><br/>Fortunately, the chair absorbed most of the impact and when she opened her eyes she saw that she was now hanging from the down-turned chair. She had calculated her fall accurately and she found that the key was next to her right hand. Extending her fingers she was able to grab it and then to unlock her right wrist.<br/><br/>The fall had yanked hard on the leather belts and she found that they had been somewhat pulled off the wood and were now a little looser. She struggled again, twisting her arms until she was able to wrench her right arm out of the belt. She then quickly unlocked her left wrist and her ankles before unbuckling them.<br/><br/>She threw the chair off her and stood up. Her upper arms were still pinned to her torso but her hands were free to move and she reached for her daggers, decided to kill the Captain with her next attack.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Dice rolls</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Struggling against chair lock: 1d20 Result: 14 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=62439)<br/>Struggling against chair straps: 1d20 Result: 19 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=62440)<br/></div></div>"

Once again she was in a position where her gun was on the ground and she was in little position to fight back. ""I'm beginning to think that you aren't listening to me. Naughty naughty. It seems like you want to be punished."" She teased, taking the time to get a look at her surroundings. She knew if she could shoot down the knight's precious captain, it would surely hurt their morale and give them an advantage on numbers. The problem was her arms were bound tightly behind her and as much as she practiced, she still couldn't fire her gun with her feet with any kind of proficiency. ""Why don't you go over and bind yourself to one of those toys. I'll be there to teach you a lesson shortly."" She said to the knight that she had been battling with the entire battle.<br/><br/>Before the spell had time to finish, Lyra was able to shake off the leather straps and free herself from a terribly arousing distraction. With only the straps that were holding her upper arms to her sides remaining, she kicked her revolver off the ground and caught it with flair in her right hand. She took a deep breath as she scouted another point to ricochet her next shot off of. The last couple of shots ended up grazing her lucky target and this was not a situation where she could allow that to happen anymore. ""Ok Lyra, you got her this time. No sweat."" She said quietly to herself. There was only a split second of stillness before the loud pop of gunfire as Lyra once again fired while skillfully twisting the gun in a complicated motion.<br/><br/>In a dire stroke of misfortune, the wildcard fumbled her revolver on the last part of the maneuver and in an attempt to hang onto it, dove to her side. ""Oww! Damn it!!!"" With a distressing ""Smack!"" she slammed headfirst into one of  the pieces of equipment, leaving her stunned from the impact as she clumsily tried to get back on her feet.

Not only that, but they'd been distracting enough for the knights to continue their efforts in restraining the group and herself. Her arms pulling back around her side and up, straining her to the very joints of her arms leaving Anna to groan in discomfort. She had been quite limber but these bonds had her feeling like a stiff board, fingers even bound together behind her back as her chest tightened. It was as if large hands were groping her breasts and without quarter no less, so much so her breathing became once again somewhat difficult. It was then, more leather betrayed her, slipping around her thighs, inching up and under between her legs and with it's finale gripped and rubbed against her very own sex like there was nothing between the leather and her flower.<br/><br/>""Ahh!""<br/><br/>Anastasia let out what sounded like a yelp of pleasure pain, a sound the group had never heard from her before. Cheeks lighting up with embarrassment, though not for being captured, but because of her own sexual arousal. Her previously and current groped breasts were perhaps a factor in her dampening womanhood and until now had gone unnoticed. Impossible to ignore now however, her shaking knees gave way, falling forward as she barely stood upright upon her knees. Remaining still she contemplated thrashing around for freedom, but with the tight bonds along with her own sex, spending what remaining energy she had was perhaps a bad idea at this point in time. What else could she do? Her team mates were in bad shape, but so were these knights.... still though, having the upper hand on them it was a time to be on the defensive.<br/><br/>Anna's vision began to blur, the struggle to stay upright had been difficult as the leather seemed to know exactly what it was doing when it came to teasing the hunter. Gently rubbing, grinding along her crotch, the difficulty of breathing only seemed to make the perversion of the scene even more intense, like hearing sounds when hungover, magnified pleasure in the form of unmanned teasing was a hell that confused the entirety of what Anna was, Body, Mind and Soul. Soft sounds escaped her painted lips as the once stalwart huntress was now a quivering mess, desperately trying to stay focused. Her gaze met with Lyra, the fireball wild card whom had just slammed her head against part of the ""furniture"".

With the state of how things were, the gunslinger knew that her skill was mismatched against the bizarrely sexual magics that the knights chose to fight with. She had to keep the odds as even as possible. The anger and frustration began to rise inside of her. ""Ok, that's it! I've had it with these stupid leather straps!

That loss being that these knights could and would do whatever they wanted to whomever they catch, much like a huntress and her prey. Perhaps it was poetic justice or just a sick joke. Her thoughts wandered quickly to her comrades, expecting them to fall back and escape, leaving her to rot like in past experiences, one of the many reasons she usually fights alone. It would of easily been apparent by her facial expression, that her morale had dipped. Her features gave that of shame, embarrassment, disappointment and a twisted sense of pleasure.<br/><br/>""Ahhh....""<br/><br/>With a sensual moan, the straps had succeeded in reaching the first plateau of pleasure. Anna's sex had been rather sensitive as she hadn't been one to enjoy that part of life often and was now warm and damp within her own panties. The sensation hadn't been new, but still foreign, though the situation had been nothing she'd ever experienced. It was at that moment, Anna's grip gave, her bow falling form her hand onto the ground beside her. Not even nearly a moment later her knees gave, slipping forward into her knees and onto her back.

Especially Anna as she had been rather cold towards each of them previously, though with a restored vigor thanks to Lyra's words (in which she now feels indebted to) Anna once again attempted to struggle free.

Planted in the centre of newly founded town, the seed grew into a sapling, that grew into a great tree, towering over the town square and blooming with pink cherry blossoms every spring without fail. The spring breeze would gently pluck the blossoms from the tree's branches and let them flutter to the ground, until the town square would look as though it had been covered with a soft pink carpet.<br/><br/>This year, the cherry blossoms were blooming as usual, but instead of being cast free by the wind they were currently being torn down with brute force by a torrential downpour. A freak storm had brought heavy rains and gale-force winds, complete with thunder and lightning, to a normally balmy spring evening. The<em>Rusty Dragon</em>, Sandpoint's oldest tavern located in the town square behind the cherry tree, was particularly full tonight, not least because its patrons were less than enthusiastic about leaving the shelter of a roof overhead and the warmth of roaring fireplaces and strong drink in exchange for being pissed upon by the sky on the way home.<br/><br/>The premise's owner, one Ameiko Kaijitsu, a young ex-adventurer - much more youthful than a typical owner of such an establishment - of Minkan descent who bought the place with the spoils of adventure and settled down to a less dangerous, if less exciting, life several years ago, didn't mind the late hours so long as the ale and<em>sake</em>(and coins) kept flowing, which they did. Talk turned to the recent rash of goblin attacks on the nearby roads making travel dangerous, and complaints about the uselessness of the town watch in doing something about the nasty little buggers, although to be honest the watch had barely enough numbers to police the town as is, let alone go out on extended patrol. There were rumours that the goblins had gotten their dirty hands on a stash of fireworks from somewhere, which they used to great effect making horses and pack animals panic before launching their raids. Thankfully there had been no deaths so far, although not a few travelers had suffered injuries while fighting off goblins and more than one farmer or merchant had to abandon a fully laden cart to escape with nothing more than their life and the clothes on their back.<br/><br/>In other words, it was a dark and stormy night... but it was warm and dry inside Ameiko Kaijitsu's tavern, the<em>Rusty Dragon</em>. (And certain people would say that it was warm and wet inside Ameiko, whether out of jest or out of more... intimate experience).<br/><br/>One character in particular held the attention of many patrons as he launched into his tale of daring danger and escape from the goblins. Old Beaver the Diver was in his sixties, his thin frame little more than skin and bones, with but a few wisps of white hair remaining on his scalp. He had lost nearly all his teeth but his skillful tongue was dripping honey as usual. The old rascal had braved the azure depths to part more clams and pinch more pearls than ten other men combined in their lifetimes.<br/><br/>""Fo there I waf, walking through Brinethump Marth to my ufual diving groundf, when fuddenly I waf ambuthed by a gang of green mufferf!

I went clofe to one to fee what waf infide, but af I approached I heard the creaking of bonef and faw thkeletons rifing from their thlumber. Of courthe I ran for my life... but not before picking thif up from the wreck.""<br/><br/>To prove his tale of a haunted shipwreck filled with treasure just waiting to be looted, Old Beaver opened his palm to reveal a gold coin, the noble metal untarnished despite the untold years it had spent in the grimy brine of Brinestump Marsh. It was of unmistakeable Minkan minting, with a dragon on one side of the coin and the head of a long-dead emperor on the other."

That's some tale!""</strong><br/><br/>The exclaimed praise was from another regular of the Rusty Dragon, mainly because half the time she was the person cooking up greasy delights for the tavern patrons to join with their ale. Sayla was a young woman of Tienese descent, possibly Minkai but there was really no way to tell considering her unknown parentage. The particularly petite girl had been brought to Sandpoint by Shalelu more than a decade ago, acting as the older elf's little sister, though the older woman's stoicism didn't exactly rub off on Sayla. The girl was a tricky, fun-loving, and clever young girl who spent her youth running around town with Ameiko and getting in trouble. She'd come a long way from picking pockets and pranking the adults though, and was gainfully employed at her best friend's tavern . . as boring as that was. Really, old Beaver's tales were one of the few things that really alleviated her boredom these days!<br/><br/><strong>""Gotta be close to the coastal edge of the marsh then, since I doubt a ship could find an inlet in very far.

Really, Sayla'd be trying to find an excuse to get her into something more interesting for WEEKS, but with Shalelu always around it was hard to slip away. This plus the reports of goblins with fireworks might be just the thing she needed to liven things up a bit."

And a good thing too; the villagers had not often had a spellcaster in their midst, but one that had grown up among them had taken some of the mystique out of it. After all, it was hard to be astounded and impressed by someone conjuring fire from his hands if you had seen him two decades ago run around without his smallclothes as little more than a babe. They often jokingly teased him about getting his face out of his studies, and helping out on one of the outlying farms, or finding a wife and settling down to continue the Kaijitsu line, upon which he grew prickly.<br/><br/>""I wonder what else they found...?"" he asked himself out loud, ""And what else might be on that ship..."" He looked up once more from the book, and turned his attention to Sayla. ""I agree--but we should first find the goblin encampment, wherever it might be. Who knows what they have already salvaged from there, and what they might be keeping. Perhaps we might even be able to... persuade them to stop attacking travellers,"" he smiled to himself, and arcane energy crackled along his fingertips.<br/><br/>""It's settled then,"" he nodded to himself, and coming to the decision he rose from his table and swept up his book, speaking loudly. ""Who else will join Sayla and I to stop the goblin menace, and salvage what remains on the ship?"" he asked loudly, turning his gaze about the inn as he looked to the others he had known and grown up with for others who would join them."

""We need to do this in order to stop the attacks on the travellers who come to us.

We need to take action, and we do this for the village, to protect ourselves, our livelihood, and our families. If you think we can let this menace grow without putting a stop to it, that's one thing. But Sayla and I are going to see that they stop their attacks, one way or another.

The trip passed uneventfully, and soon they arrived at the outskirts of the marsh, which was located at the delta where the Soggy River spread before it ran into the sea. The marsh itself was relatively small and the Lost Coast road lost little time veering around this obstacle and bridging the river further upstream. Coming south from Sandpoint, they left the road at the northernmost point of the wetlands, where The New Fish Trail veered off and began snaking between short stretches of wet bogs immediately. A sign read ""Danger"" at the intersection for the benefit of strangers and visitors, ignored by the local fishermen whose footsteps were clearly imprinted in the muddy trail, heading both in and out.<br/><br/>Footsteps proved that the New Fish Trail was regularly traveled; their mostly undisturbed nature proved that regular was not to be confused with frequent. The land was always wet and muddy, frequently dipping below the waterline into shallow pools, and overgrown with reeds and other swamp plants that thrived both submerged and in the air. Travel off the trail was extremely difficult as a result, and travel on the trail itself was no cakewalk; the mud sucked on shoes, boots and feet making every step an effort. Insects buzzed about in numbers, some of them harmless, others decidedly biting nuisances. Trees plunged their roots deep into the wet soil and spread their branches wide in the canopy overhead, blocking the view of the sky with a blanket of broad leaves, making even the noontime day a dim and gloomy affair at ground level.<br/><br/>Many shallow creeks split off from the Soggy River and made their windy way into the sea. The New Fish Trail crossed several of these waterways, either with stones thrown down onto the creek bed raising its level until the water was forded by a path only ankle deep, or by crudely constructed bridges overgrown with moss and missing a few planks more often than not. So far the group hadn't met a creature larger than a rat, until they crossed the the second such bridge along the trail. The bridge was a crude undecorated wooden structure that performed its function and little more, arching over one of the many streamlets that divided the land into small islands of wet bog so that travelers could cross and continue along the trail without having to wade through the water. It was only wide enough for people to cross single-file, with a pair of rickety railings on either side that didn't look like they could be relied upon to take much weight.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">OOC</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Please make the following rolls in advance for this encounter: a perception check, an initiative roll, and a reflex save.<br/>Also decide marching order across the bridge!<br/></div></div>"

The grinning cap on the rocket hurtling towards him made for a bad representation of his current mood, but at least the goddamn gobbos were having a good old laugh.

Full moons are a lot prettier, plus you can actually look at them.

Taking her bleeding classmate into the room probably wasn't the best idea, but Eve didn't really mind. Chick was bleeding and Eve figured she should try to make at least one friend. Besides Theo, Layla seemed like the person in the house Eve would get along with more likely then not.<br/><br/>Nodding as Layla questioned the fact Eve had removed clothes from blood many times Eve chuckled. Layla sounded skeptical, but she seemed like the type that would be till you proved yourself, and that was fine.<strong>""Yeah, my mom and Aunt weren't very hands on.

The moment away would give Layla a moment to look around the room if she wanted. All of Eve's makeup was higher end stuff, as were the clothes that were visible and the collection of heels that lined the wall next to her dresser. Even Eve's comforter and sheets were high end. For all of her protests about being a ""princess"" her room looked like she'd be uppity.<br/><br/>Eve finally found the first aid kit and let out an<strong>""Ah ha!""</strong>before making her way back over to Layla. Pulling up the ottoman from the foot of her bed Eve sat down on it and placed the box she'd grabbed next to her. Smiling at the red head Eve pursed her lips.<strong>""Okay so I have stuff to stitch you up if it's that bad, stuff to clean it, and stuff to clean your shirt,""</strong>she said as she pulled out a small bottle of peroxide and put it on a sterile cotton ball.

But protesting the girls rather adamant disclaimer of the fact was probably a waste of breath.

Layla shrugged as if that was all the explanation that was needed. Honestly the sun probably wasn't evil, but it was hell on her pale complexion. And she didn't feel like getting burnt any time soon.<br/><br/>Holding her sore arm Layla kept any complaint of pain to herself, really pain was easy, pain she understood, and at times welcomed it. The hall way sounded with their footsteps and Eva's to cheery voice.<strong>""Big family then.""</strong>she said more as a statement then trying to get more information on her family. It was the cool me too that made Layla blink, the girl had too much energy for this early in the morning that much was for sure.<strong> ""I'll hold you to that.""</strong>she said making sure Eva knew she was serious. Her eyes turning away from the girl and to her room, the sights before her suddenly making her stop in her tracks.<br/><br/>Layla said nothing at first and just slipped up and took the offered seat. Her fingers reaching up and poking at all the expensive make up and so forth for a moment.<strong>""Tell me again how you’re not a princess.""</strong>Layla said not really expecting and answer, or at least an answer that was more than anything she had gotten before. Her thoughts cut short by the sudden sound of approval, no doubt because Eva found what she had been hunting for. Layla watched as she stepped back out of her room and moved to sit just behind her.<strong> ""Don't know how bad it is honestly; just do what you need to. Don't worry about the pain ok.""</strong>she said not wanting the girl to end up being squeamish on her. Hesitation would only make it hurt more in the end.<strong>""It’s ok I'll wash up afterward and just wrap up in a towel. Don't want to get blood on your shirts too.""</strong>she said her words not seeming as harsh as they had been before.<br/><br/><strong>""I'll take it off, hope you’re not shy.""</strong>she said moving to take the shirt off, a silent wince coming from her as she moved her hurt shoulder before handing the shirt back to Eva. Her back had blood running down it, the bright red a stark contrast to her ivory skin. Her back marked with a few short scars that almost looked as if they came from something that struck her multiple times. Layla said nothing and simple waited to see what the damage was as Eva looked to her wound.<br/>"

The walk to the room was a little less awkward then Eve had expected and when Layla's assumed statement about Eve having a big family graced Eve's ears she nodded.<strong>""Yeah.""</strong>Her response was short and not elaborated because Eve was fairly sure Layla hadn't been prying. Giving Layla a nod that said 'okay' when she said she was going to hold Eve to wanting what was good for the coven Eve smiled.<strong>""I think Theo might have been right, I think you are nicer then you let on.....I pretend I'm not as evil as I am...so that works nicely.""</strong>She smirked mischievously and opened her door.<br/><br/>Layla followed Eve into the room and sat down, taking in everything before starting to poke at the makeup on 'the princess's' dresser. Eve let out a laugh at Layla's question and smiled.<strong>""I come from a wealthy, prestigious, family of witches...""</strong>She shrugged pursing her lips,<strong>""I'd go with privileged....not princess.""</strong>Eve moved over to the cabinet and quickly found what she needed before moving back over to Layla and taking up behind her. The red head started speaking and Eve listened giving a nod.<strong>""No worries. I'll be quick about it.""</strong>She meant it too. Scraps in general were painful, ones that needed stitches were worse, and the quicker they were patched up the better. When Layla said she didn't want to get blood on one of Eve's shirts she smiled softly, with understanding, but it also seemed like it wasn't something that would bother her if it did happen.<strong>""Okay...If you change your mind feel free though. I've got more clothes then I know what to do with. If one gets blood on it, oh well....Plus if we get this patched up you shouldn't be bleeding.""</strong><br/><br/>Eve let out a laugh at the 'hope you're not shy comment' and shook her head.<strong>""Just us girls, and they are just boobs.""</strong>Shrugging she helped Layla a bit with the shirt, but not to much. The red head was obviously an independent spirit and wouldn't take kindly to being coddled. Tossing the bloodied shirt over on top of her hamper Eve looked at the wound quickly before putting the cotton ball up to her back and washing the area around the wound. Placing the now red cotton balls on the vanity she poured some sterile water from a bottle in the first aid kit onto a gauze pad and finished cleaning off the wound before pouring some peroxide on it just to be sure it was cleaned out, the peroxide stinging just as much as normal with an open wound.<strong>""You are gonna need stitches.....What color thread you want?""</strong>She chuckled softly at the stupid question and waited for an answer before threading the curved needle and getting to work, quickly sewing up the torn flesh."

Her moral levels were not what Cordelia would have approved of, but it was something the older woman had grown to understand.<br/><strong><br/>""I couldn't tell,""</strong>Layla spoke in a sarcastic tone as Eva spoke about being a privileged princess. The girl could insist what she wanted, but spoiled was spoiled no matter how you looked at it. Layla wondered if Eva thought she was better than her for some reason due to her family back ground.<strong>""We all come from some line of witches, even if it skips a few along the way we all have similar roots.""</strong>Layla pointed out not wanting the girl to think she was hot shit because her grandma had powers.<strong>""Still blood on my back and such, besides I'm allergic to posh.""</strong>she said with a laugh,<strong>""I'll be fine, I'm not shy in the least.""</strong>Layla said part of her simply not wanting to owe Eva anything more than a patch up.<br/><br/><strong>""Good,""</strong>Layla simply said and removed her shirt, her upper body naked but for the scars on her skin. The first touch of Eva's handmade Layla's shoulder tense, but beyond that there was no signs of pain as she cleaned the cut. In fact Layla closed her eyes and seemed to just zone out.

It was something Eve, for as big a schemer as she was, respected greatly.<br/><br/>Eve just laughed at Layla's sarcasm about her being a princess.

It had become the only home she had ever really had, and Layla wasn't about to let someone take it from her easily. Not that she was ever going to admit to something so sentimental, least of all to Eva.<br/><br/><strong>""I've been studying the craft since I arrived here; there isn't a book in the library that I haven't read at least once.

They will either get over that or get eaten alive.""</strong>Layla shrugged as if she could care less which way it went, though part of her knew that if she didn't help them, then they'd probably end up being more of burden than anything else. The idea of trying to teach them though almost made her groan in anticipated frustration.<br/><br/>The teasing words that came from Eva actually got Layla to smirk a bit.

Those were all excellent qualities to have when going through the trials they were have to face, and Eve found herself gaining a great deal of respect for Layla as a witch in that moment. Chuckling Eve smiled at Layla.<strong>""Looks like I have some catching up to do then.""</strong>Eve nodded in agreement at Layla's assessment of Devin and Cadence. They needed to get over their fears.<strong>""Fear can be an extremely powerful tool if you learn to use it to your advantage. If you don't it can break you.

She mentioned being not surprised at Eve's possession of hot pink thread and the brunette shrugged.<strong>""You never know if it might come in handy.""</strong>Eve smiled and took a deep breath before sticking the needle into Layla's skin. She pulled and tugged until the wound was closed trying to make quick work of the job, and succeeding. Even Layla seemed surprised at how fast it went as she voiced that it had gone 'quick.'

Having invited him to their house at times, they had grown fond of the boy, and when he had been left orphaned they had taken them in and seen to his care, giving him his new name as he was reborn into their family.

Still, out of respect for Ameiko, he rarely, if ever, voices his opinion, keeping it locked deeply inside himself where he lets it fester for a time."

His broad shouldered 6'6"" and strong physique makes him popular with ladies but his very awkward demeanor has thus far kept them at bay, which suits him just fine. He needed to focus on his his work anyway. He is a very practical man and as such most of his clothes are very tough and durable, if a bit rough on the eye. In armor is one lovingly crafted by himself, supporting the dream of one day becoming an armorsmith rather than a watchman.<br/><br/><strong>Backstory:</strong>Roland's mother and father were both very good friends of the Mvashti long before he was born. They were like true siblings to Koya and to Roland old Madame Niska may as well have been a grand mother. So when tragedy struck and his parents were killed by robbers, Koya saw no other choice than to adopt him as her own. He traveled Varisia with caravans and picked up on a whole lot of tricks and skills from the travelers that the Mvashti accompanied. In the end however it became clear to a young Roland that it wasn't the lifestyle that was meant for him. As he came of age he settled in Sandpoint and joined the city's watchmen.<br/><br/>As the years went on he made sure to always visit the caravans as they came to town and visit<em>Mama Koya</em>and<em>'Dame Niska</em>. It came as a surprise however when the venerated Madame called him to her as she was becoming ill. She spoke at length about his parents, the way she always did when he visited, but there was a very serious tone to it. As he finally pried about her own health she asked him for a very important favor. He made the promise to protect Koya should she make a dangerous trip to faraway lands, something that he seriously doubted given Koya's own advanced age. Even so he left that evening with a sense of premonition. Madame Niska died that very same night.<br/><br/>Returning to the city he couldn't help but feel like he didn't belong anymore. As if destiny had picked him up and recolored him for another purpose than climbing the hierarchy of the city watch.

Standing at a meager 4'8"" tall she has the very image of a Tienese noble's daughter, possessing a frame that at first glance is frail and lean. She has long black hair that reaches down to her waist and delicate features, along with mismatched eyes (one brown, one slate grey). While not particularly curvy, and a bit prone to exhaustion, she's a surprisingly nimble girl with near-contortionist levels of flexibility and high reflexes. She carries herself with a dancer's grace, only to flash a drunk's grin and curse up a storm that even a sailor would take off his hat to. While she prefers to wear Tienese silks and cloth, she can most often be found wearing leather armor that is flatteringly cut to conform to every (admittedly slight) curve of her body. A leather chestpiece hugs her tightly, a pair of bracers, boots reaching nearly up to her thighs and slotted with holders for her beloved daggers. . . Okay so she basically likes to 'adventure' in what amounts to leather hotpants and a vest, but you gotta forgive her for wanting to be stylish and comfortable. She IS Ameiko's best friend after all.<br/><br/>Backstory: Sayla doesn't really know much about her early life, only that at some point Shalelu just found her out on patrol, and took her in. Apparently Sayla's image as an 'abandoned child' resonated to Shalelu at the time, leading to Sayla being made an honorary younger sister. While she shared a small home with Shalelu in Sandpoint during her time there, she found herself hanging out a good deal more with some of the other children that shared her features, Ameiko especially. The two girls found kindred spirits in each other and became fast friends, known for causing quite a bit of a ruckus around town! As Ameiko practiced her bardic arts and went on adventures, and Shalelu went out on increasingly longer patrols, Sayla practiced her own 'unique' skills on locked doors and people's coinpurses, never getting into too much trouble. It was clear that the girl was just lonely and bored, even after taking a job working as a cook in Ameiko's new tavern once she'd returned to Sandpoint."

I mean we have pretty much grown up together, kinda sorta. Makoto seems to be the exception, seeing as he probably were a hundred or so already when Roland got adopted. I also think there might be a little chafing between Makoto and Roland since the latter grew up with Sandru and might be a little broish with him."

The tall man's arms and biceps flex effortlessly, his back muscles are astounding and that eye-catching Adonis belt of his V leads to lustful thinking and always touching. Is also however, decently furry. Dark hair dusts across his chest and abs, thickening at his happy trail and densely under his arms. He is a man after all. Appears 25% more beefy than picture.<br/><strong>Race:</strong>Unknown what to refer to him as, appears human.<br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>King of a banished Kingdom<br/><strong>Friends:</strong>He has no friends, only pawns.<br/><strong>Costume:</strong>Godly, loose and simple clothing that exposes his body. Themed after Greek and Roman mixed with Gothic themes (http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad252/NekoTheSecretNinja/Candyum/2012-09-30_1839281_zps43d09803.jpg~original)<br/><strong>Weapon:</strong>Magic and a scythe he rarely uses, but seems to also be his scepter.<br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><em>Orbs of Nocturne - </em>When slamming his scepter / scythe down, he can make an impact that forces a ring of dust to rise from the settled ground. Blue, ghostly orbs rise from the ground and pulse. Following the enemy but exploding quite quickly. The explosions are quite small, but harmful and can force the enemy to stumble.<br/><em>Night Wing -</em>An act of when swiping his scythe , ravenous feathers flow behind its blade. The scythe is then flung into the air, spiraling about like a boomerang as it sweeps the room before returning to its Master's hand with the help of magic.<br/><em>Telekinesis -</em>The ability to grasp a human form without being near it, in which he usually tosses the enemy across the field or into a team mate.<br/><em>Sleepwalker -</em>The ability to creep into the dreams of others and do as he pleases to them, it will feel quite real until they wake up.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>A dark and sultry flirt, but demanding and coldly abusive. He however seems more blunt and prideful about it, commanding and leaving no choice. However he only gets more calm and cold when angered rather than bursting into a fury like his pawns. Though he will of course go harder and stronger once angered, he rarely loses composure. Damarius sees humans as lower beings and EVERYONE below him in general. He's a commander with no sense of love of humbleness about him. He's not caring, greedy and prideful like he gets his minions to strive to be.<br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Chess, strategy , winning , being fawned over, uppity slaves, chains, being worshiped. Nothing is ever enough enough for him, beautiful men and women? He needs more. A nearly endless amount of land? He needs more. Now that most of that has been limited to SOME degree since the banishing he strives to get it all back, but will not lose his composure like last time he states. Enjoys dark chocolate, cherries wine and rain. Enjoys mind games. Hot springs.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Overly sweet foods, masculine men. Doesn't appear to care much for bright colors, however sometimes he finds the innocence in them amusing.<br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Strategizing war, building a harem and world for just himself. Revenge.<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Bisexual<br/><strong>Between The Sheets:</strong>Top<br/><strong>On's &amp; Off's:</strong><br/><em>Ons -</em>Choking, hair pulling , non-con , dub-con , face-fucking, muscle worship , depraved acts such as armpit worship, begging, gaping holes he has created. Size queens, watersports , s&m , verbal abuse, humiliation , degradation , sadism.<br/><em>Offs -</em>Scat, mutilation , death<br/><strong>Dom / Switch / Sub: </strong>Dominant<br/><strong>History:</strong>Damarius Nocturne was once a part of the Silver Millenium  time period, living under the Moon Kingdom's rule with their own. The two of them allies and sister Kingdoms and equals. In fact, everyone was quite happy during this time. Including the King himself was quite pleased, happy and even friends with the Queen of his sister Kingdom. Worshiped and fawned over regularly by their women and men, the food impeccable and music cleansing to the soul. However, there was a history between the two kingdoms that had gone on for centuries. A tradition that  the Queen of the other Kingdom broke. There was a reason for the war that would come soon after.<br/><br/>The Queen was supposed to uphold this tradition, the tradition of her son marrying the sister Kingdom's ruler. However she denied it, stating her son was far too much young for him and that times have changed - are changing and there was no reason to uphold the agreement since that tradition was originally a part of the treaty which no longer affected them. Though she was correct, it was a tradition that had been done numerous times despite the treaty not needing to be done. The King would have agreed if that pure creature he had seen hurt and in pain at one point hadn't awakened something in his sick soul deep down. He admittedly grew bored now and again of some of those he worshipped and had turned to darker sexual acts in attempt to match that glorious expression. It was to be his property, that Prince. Time passed and he was still over thinking the subject.

Even in his more eccentric outfits it is a larger popped collar with his chest exposed more than usual.<br/><strong>Weapon:</strong>Tarot cards of the dark, sharp as blades.<br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><em>Shade -</em>Able to summon dark power-circles with a firm swipe of a hand at an enemy. This circle is a glowing emblem that strides across the ground and once  landed on an enemy, though they are small circles - they are fast and strong enough feeling like they strike through the chest hard enough to knock one off their feet and to lessen their gravity by more than half. This leaving room for him to use another move.<br/><br/><em>ShadowBoxer -</em>The power to play with shadows can be fun and deceiving. When in the dark, he can disappear and teleport about. His fists casting a brutal bright blue light with each punch or kick he makes but, otherwise all they can see is black and the outlines of his body and face before the glow fades.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>A playboy, a twisted charmer and a flirt. An arrogant gambler and narcissist as most would describe him. He is cold, perverted and a bit too sarcastic with that sharp tongue.<br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Apples, sour things, grilled fish , black cats, button-up shirts, jazz , blues, classical music. Enjoys flirting, gambling and being fawned over. Appears to like a good argument now and again. Submission and uppity behaviors both are well liked to toy with. Everything is a game and nothing is a game. It is all in how he twists it to be. Clouds, grey and rainy days.

Abstract art.<br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Smoking, listening to music, complaining, reading, shopping for old records.

A gambler, playboy and major strategist for his Kingdom.  Extremely serious and never serious, he was always in the good graces of the King though isn't well liked by the other three Princes. While none of them are related and rule over their own smaller sectors of the Kingdom, Malice  always seems to put himself above them despite them being equals and peers. The man is beyond confident, never having met his true mother he was raised with a step-mother in what was practically a harem of women thanks to his own father's twisted vices in the dark Kingdom he quickly was drawn to them as well.  Everything was in his hands, it was natural he had no sense of right and wrong. It didn't take long for him to start hammering the whore who raised him. Female nobles even of the Moon Kingdom before the war tossed themselves wildly over him.<br/><br/>There were even rumors he killed his own father. His own step-mother now just a servant with a nice title and status.  However he could never have enough, so he gladly helped strategize the warfare with their ruler on the Moon Kingdom. Full of chuckles and ideas, he could have never expected that she would so ignorantly use that ancient artifact. A choice that this specific Prince would have never chosen. He is now still seeking revenge, the fact he was outsmarted though he'd deny it til this day still crawling underneath his skin. Perhaps another reason why he so heavily indulges in his vices. He is near immortal why not?<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Extra Pictures</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> (http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad252/NekoTheSecretNinja/Candyum/06_zps54baa2ec.jpg~original)(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WRugvs6eF7I/UaJRKPlV6XI/AAAAAAAAjD4/TosGFQhYOcI/s1600/Ensaio_VictorBrandt_phJuniorCastanha_05.JPG)(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bazZFUwiBVE/UaJRI829-NI/AAAAAAAAjDc/LB2pNP0CKQY/s1600/Ensaio_VictorBrandt_phJuniorCastanha_03.jpg)(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HhsIOiC6yGw/UaJRH1S7f5I/AAAAAAAAjDU/GNX5Gv_Ewz0/s1600/Ensaio_VictorBrandt_phJuniorCastanha_01.jpg)(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pz38HXx4WvI/Ua3fuNrZzVI/AAAAAAAGG1A/gp8jG0_vq6Q/s1600/50.jpg)<br/></div></div>"

With this move, Venus tosses one or both chakrams into the air. Flinging them hard as they soar actually dozens of feet in the air appearing to go behind him even. However they come back not only glowing, but with what appears to be golden needles like rain flinging towards the target Venus. This scout is able to move the chakrams through the air by focusing his arms, hence the term "" Soul Chakram "" . This type of control is only in use when the blades are glowing. The needles once hitting any enemy appear to actually go straight through  their body, but never do any physical APPEARING damage despite causing severe pain to the opponent. However they can shred clothing<br/><em>Venus: Love Chain -</em>A weapon summon that tends to be short lived. A strong bright golden chain that glows, this chain is more often than not used as a whip and can be adapted. Most often it is used as a whip, but in its adaptions it can be ended with a hook or some form of a blade. Useful for bringing the enemy to you or down.<br/><em>Venus: Love Chakram Bind -</em>This scout uses his weapon, a chakram. Its glowing golden form flung and slipping its way into the enemy binding them in its growing or shrinking circle. This circle can hold for worth one hit usually, but can be broken. Once broken it flashes a bright white and can temporarily blind the enemy for a few short seconds.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Seemingly nice, possibly overly confident. Playful, flirty pretty-boy. Semi-sporty and quite popular with the ladies. Has tinges of very light arrogance but, is otherwise quite friendly. Very uppity and active. Prideful, has minor to mild narcolepsy.<br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Volleyball, soccer, flirting, karate. Used to be on dozens of sports teams and always into extra curricular activities until he was scouted by his Guardian and took on the role of Sailor V.  Venus enjoys gaming extremely, not finding that much joy in karate anymore as it's more training for Venus now though he continues it. He has no time to play or join sports things with friends due to his new path, but can often be seen playing by himself or carrying a soccer or volleyball. Enjoys watching break-dancers and adds their twist into a lot of his fighting style. Spicey foods are well loved as are sour fruits. Likes sweets, but is picky with them. Enjoys running extremely.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Dark chocolate, writing, silence , doing nothing ,  doesn't care much for baseball or football.  Being hinted towards not being smart when he's always been a C+ up to B+ student at nearly everything.  Hates waiting, lacks long term patience.<br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Karate student, Ex-Soccer player, Ex-Volleyball player. Likes cooking, isn't extremely good but has fun doing it.<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Tries to identify as straight or say he's bi for prideful reasons. Only likes the attention he gets from females, but is only attracted to men.<br/><strong>Between The Sheets:</strong>Bottom<br/><strong>On's &amp; Off's:</strong>Receiving rim-jobs, having his ass played with / groped / cheeks pulled apart or smacked. Muscle worship(giving and receiving) , giving or receiving oral.  Hair pulling, costume / clothing ripping. Rough even forced sex,  voyeurism / exhibitionism. Multiple partners and multiple penetration. Dirty talk and name-calling.<br/><strong>Dom / Switch / Sub: </strong>Switch<br/><strong>History:</strong>Eden is a regular high-school boy, one who was just living his everyday life in a middle class family in Tokyo. Living alone without his parents and just an older brother who is constantly working and not ever seeing one another.  He was always popular, a sporty type whom took a liking and lots of his time in extra curricular activities that he had to quit due to his new status. It all started with a gift, a gift anonymously left on his desk in one of his classes by a certain teacher containing his very own orange wrist-cuff styled watch and communicator. Not knowing fully what it was, just a cool watch during the time in a bright vivid orange with a dark orange screen and gold symbols of Venus and a floral wreath with some odd golden buttons along the side that appeared to do nothing at the time.<br/><br/>The boy walked home late one night, wearing it for a good amount of time not knowing who's watchful eye he was under. Coming under attack by street thugs wasn't the rarest thing in Tokyo. Sadly he wasn't prepared even with the decent skills he had for a boy his size to take on three of them. When suddenly a familiar voice told him what to do, he was confused and had to be told to just do it. Thus by his own surprise and others, he transformed with signature weapons in hand and needed very little help to come into his barely won victory. Still having a lot of training ahead of him before he'd become a truly fearless warrior of Venus.<br/><br/>Sailor V still at the moment does not know who the enemy is. His guardian and Moon's conversing with this scout knowing nothing of the situation. This scout has become the pretty-boy heart throb of the public. Solving crime and beating up street thugs, saving people from the usual non-world threatening drama with his powers in the mean time. Hoping to find out the reason behind these odd disappearances and illnesses that are leaving people in small masses at a time that were in the same place completely soulless if not dead.  Eden has forced himself to beat up thugs in a rage asking them what they knew before leaving them knocked out and ready for the police to pick them up whenever they were discovered.<br/><br/>Some have even caught this somewhat sloppy super hero beating the thugs up, criminals and bandits. A small local game made for him having been spreading in arcades around the area along with his own comics and posters. Nothing like this had been seen yet, before. This extreme power, control and justice beyond what the police could do? The public was entertained and he quickly began winning hearts of girls and making boys want to be like him and jealous at the same time.<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Extra Pictures</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad252/NekoTheSecretNinja/724097_zpse4f44010.jpg~original)(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad252/NekoTheSecretNinja/Candyum/Delicious/large3_zps22a768a8.jpg~original)<br/></div></div>"

His Father is a surgeon at the local hospital, and his mother is a teacher for second grade. His older brother is a graduate of the same university Cody is attending now, where he majored in business instead of following in their father's footsteps. With Cody's natural intelligence, and the fact that his brother decided not to, it fell upon Cody to follow in his Father's footsteps, and even at a young age, Cody intended to pursue a career in medicine. His Father has geared his training towards anatomy and physiology, never dumbing anything down for him when answering questions about how the world around him worked, in the little time he had free from the hospital. Cody became a Daddy's Boy, and he attributed learning with quality time with his Father.<br/><br/>Cody is majoring in biology, and even his parents could easily cover what little costs were left after Cody's scholarship, he also got a part time job working as a lab assistant. His job is mostly to clean and organize, but he savors the chance to be immersed even more fully in the field. His smaller frame made most sports an ill fit for him, but he had learned in high school he had an affinity for swimming. On top of his already heavy class load, the fact that he's sitting in on other classes, and his part time job, he's also a member of the swim team. While others might see the heavy load as leading to a miserable life, they're all things that Cody enjoys, and considers himself lucky that he can spend so much time between them.<br/><br/>When the Dark Kingdom got it in their heads to use cadavers as vessels to sap the energy from students, Cody got into the line of fire. He was almost killed in an effort to hide the Corrupted's transformation, until 'Luna' and Sailor Moon came across him. 'Luna' identified him as Sailor Neptune and gave him his communicator. He fought with Sailor Moon to battle and stop the Corrupted. He embraced his new role as a Scout, even if being a Scout was going to require a majority of his attention. He knew it was unlikely he'd have time to balance being a doctor and be a Scout, but for now, he's just working twice as hard to live up to his family's expectations while staying true to his own destiny."

Luckily he never tasted a mans flesh before he started having flash backs to a far away place in a time that had long since passed. Regaining his memories of the moon kingdom he was able to start harnessing and controlling his shape shifting ability. Alas his family couldn't comprehend what was happening to him at first been shocked and horrified enrolling him in a private school for mentally ill boys under the assumption he was some kind of sociopath killing animals for fun. There he learned how to meditate and condition his mind and his body controlling his outbursts and shape shifting events eventually being released back into normal society after two grueling years of being institutionalized.<br/><br/>Studying hard and earning good marks he joined a study abroad program that brought him to Japan where he was able to apply for residency to enroll in becoming a teacher. His sharp wit and discipline made it easy for him to adapt to Japanese culture but due to his tanned complexion it makes it hard for him to make lasting friends with those around him with strong prejudices. However he manages to make friendly acquaintances learning Tai Chi and eventually becoming good enough to teach giving him a strong outlet for his primal urges."

(http://helmsthearrow.weebly.com/uploads/2/7/7/9/27794901/5519241_orig.jpg)<br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><em>Soul Flame: Pyrokinesis - </em>This scout calls on the power of Mars.  The powers of Fire and feeling.  He is able to harness that power and has the ability to control and create the element of fire.  Usually this is in his fingertips or the palm of his hand, but can be harnessed in other ways.<br/><em>Diemos Draconis: Aura Dragon -</em>A familiar in the shape of a dragon, his fiery friend is made from his own aura.  It can either take the shape of a scaled chinese serpent type dragon, of a flaming dragon and is a bit larger than he is.  Its head is about the size of two of his. He refers to it fondly as Diemos, named after one of the moons of the planet Mars.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Hes mildly introspective and keeps to himself.  Its not that he isn't kind, but he is observant.  Most people get two chances and first impressions are key for him.  He treats others how he would like them to treat him at first, then treats them how they treat him.  He is very spiritual in his Wiccan religion and is silent about it.  He has a low tolerance for arrogance and bullshit and though he lives in the light, the times weren't always so bright.  Though he does try to keep it calm, he can take alot but after a while the fiery red head temper can show.<br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Astrology,Swimming, Archery, Music, Art. He loves to swim recreationally, it seems to be one of the few things to calm him.  Music is a direct reflection of his Muse and how he feels, what he is listening to can change at the drop of the hat but directly reflects how he feels in that moment.  Archery.  Ryen just loves the shit out of the art of archery, the way the bow humms once the arrow is released and the hidden sensuality of it, at least in his eyes.   He also enjoys sketching and painting but keeps it private... you can see it, but I'd have to kill you. He loves rice.  anything to do with rice, and loves to secretly bake.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Food with a lot of spice and heat, what can he say.. he just can't take that.

If he wanted to get you.. he'd get you, but he prefers to watch karma do its job.  He lacks patience with trivial tasks and hates being talked down too.<br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Baking, singing, writing songs, Archery.<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Homosexual.  He doesn't really hide it, but doesn't tell unless asked.. even then he may just not answer because ""If you ain't fucking me, its none of your fucking business.""<br/><strong>Between The Sheets:</strong>Vers-Bottom<br/><strong>On's &amp; Off's:</strong>He likes everything except Piss, Scat, and Extreme Pain.  A little pain is okay right?<br/><strong>Dom / Switch / Sub: </strong>Switch<br/><strong>History:</strong>Ryen's family were actually american, but they had relocated to Tokyo, Japan for his father's business.  He was actually conceived and born in Tokyo, making him a dual citizen.  He learned both English and Japanese while growing up and became bi-lingual.  When he was around seven his parents died in an accident and he was adopted by a family friend he had come to know as Papa Hino, Papa Hino can be a bit of a pervert, flirting with anything that walks, sometimes including Ryen, which he usually ignores, and also is glad he doesn't have many friends other than a friendly bird that comes to his window.<br/>After another miserable day at school, Ryen wanted to do nothing more than go home, and lay in bed, crying his eyes out and listening to a music to buput him in a sort of catatonic trance. Although the times were rare and he usually got over things easily, something about the day filled him with sorrow as he kept a taught jaw and remained silent through his classes.  He walked up the wooden stairs of the home to which he had become accustomed and found Hino, crumpled up in the floor, but a dark figure over him, startled.  The figure vanished and Hino appeared on the brink of death but was still breathing.  ""What happened?""  He asked himself and after getting Hino to bed he went for a long walk.<br/>First his walk took him to a park where he stayed for an hour or so, just thinking about things, watching the water ripple and meditating before he laid back on the grass and dozed off.  He was unsure how long he had rested, but it had done him well and put him in a clearer mind set.  As he pushed himself off of the ground Ryen could hear a commotion in the woods and followed the noise, because he was curious as to what could make so much noise in a simple park.  Behind the treeline something strange caught his eye, it looked like an older boy was fighting some kind of... no.. a monster?  Wow.  A monster in Tokyo there was no way, but the guy looked like he could need some help, but rather than stand Idly by, Ryen ran toward the figure and lunged at its side, the symbol of mars glowing brightly on his forehead as he ignored the possible consequences of his actions and punched at the being.<br/>The monster reminded him of the one Hino had been attacked by and in a blind rage he gave it his all, his  knuckles were bloody, and he had been knocked off a few times by the time the older guy finished the thing off and Ryen sat in the grass, just breathing.  Nothing more or less.  He was on the brink of tears as he bowed his head and wiped his eyes, putting on that facade of strength and tightening his jaw before looking at the young man.<br/><br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Extra Pictures</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/217/b/8/andy_biersack_by_kyosrockstargirl37-d59virv.jpg)(https://31.media.tumblr.com/e35e688d273235b4fa8f5e5ab1e04360/tumblr_inline_mxht47P3191s2t0wr.jpg)(http://bvblegacy.weebly.com/uploads/8/2/5/6/8256172/5184296.jpg?340)</div></div>"

Confident and self-assured, he knows who he is and what he wants out of life. Merciless and cold to his enemies, and playful to his friends, he has a constant grin on his face. He considers loyalty and trust to be the highest attributes, and will never betray a promise. His trust is easy to earn, but once broken.. he is an enemy for life. The easiest way to get on his bad side is to insult his friends. Something of a flirt, he enjoys teasing people but can be serious when the time calls for it.

His parents are kind, pleasant people with strong moral backgrounds. Always willing to help out, always doing the right thing. It is this background that formed Jacob's own opinions on life, and why he eventually went on to become a Soldier. Gregarious and kind, he nonetheless excelled and quickly moved up the ranks, to the surprise of many who thought he was 'too nice'. Of course, those opinions changed when they saw how ruthless and efficient he could be when needed. He traveled the world, but always felt something was missing. Still, he was stationed in Japan for a short time, and fell in love with the culture and the people. When his stint in the military was over, and he began to look into colleges.. Japan was the first place he looked to.<br/><br/>His destiny was forever altered when he saw Mercury fighting. At first taking it for cosplay, when the monsters appeared and grossly outnumbered the other, Jacob half wondered if he was seeing things. Pausing only briefly, his mind was made up when he saw Mercury was getting overwhelmed. After all, once a Soldier always a Soldier. The symbol for Jupiter appeared on his forehead as he jumped into the fray, and the rest is history."

They own a rather large ramen shop, founded by Hajime's grand-grandfather, Otoryuu Amagi, and it is famous by their ""special"", said to be one of the best of the city. But, of course, that is just a supposition, much like how Hajime's father brags about having his son inherit the shop in the future. Since he was little, Hajime had been forced into the ramen-making industry, and little by little he had come to dislike it. He could never understand why people got so obsessed by noodles floating in soup.<br/><br/>Also, he was the center of attention at school: being the heir of a business that ran from generation after generation is no easy feat. Everyone expects too much of you, even at a young age, and you have so little to give them. It dawned on him that he could not do it. Hajime could not take over because a) he hated ramen; and b) he was not his father or grandfather: He was himself.<br/><br/>Therefore, Hajime decided to put as much distant with his father as possible: taking extracurriculars, part-time jobs, anything that would keep him out of the house for the whole day. He knew that some day he would have to confront his father, but he wanted to postpone that for as long as he could.<br/><br/>After he graduated from high school, Hajime realized that the confrontation would take place sooner or later, but so long as he kept studying, he would have an excuse to not take over the family business. So he signed up for college in the field of Journalism, something completely unrelated to what his father did and the only profession that mildly interested him.<br/><br/>Hajime found out about his powers one day when he was leaving the library. It was late and the sun was setting and the street lights were on. Well on his way home, he took a shortcut through a park not-so-well illuminated. It was there when a shadowy being got him from behind and began attacking him for no reason. He tried to fight back, but the being was more powerful than him. He began to bleed and felt he was going to faint, but suddenly, the being's weight disappeared and some guy wearing a strange uniform came to his rescue. Hajime watched him fight for a bit and saw that it was a two-man job. At that moment, Uranus' crest appeared and he transformed for the first time, not really understanding what was happening. He and the man, who introduced himself as Sailor Moon later, defeated the creature together, and Hajime became Sailor Uranus, receiving a wrist-cuff and communicator in the process from Moon."

He's never been really good with people, always thinking too low of himself to even branch out and make an attempt at befriending another. He's relatively content in just his own creative world of reading Fantasy Novels and playing MMOs as his outlet for whatever need for social interaction he may crave every now and then. Trent is said to be an awkward weirdo but should anyone get to know him, they will realize that he is just an adorkable guy who holds a large heart within his chest. He's very much like a puppy and develops an unwavering loyalty to those who extends their kindness to him.<br/><br/>Trent hardly has any self esteem when it comes to his looks.

His mother spent the majority of her time in her work as a leading software Developer, unintentionally neglecting Trent, leaving him in the hands of countless sitters and nannies. His mother's upper middle class salary did afford him some luxury in which owning the latest electronics and video games became substitutions for human interaction.<br/><br/>The few social outlets Trent did have was at the Library where he would volunteer his time and found himself more comfortable engaging in conversations with older women more than his own peers. When it came to talking to attractive guys? There was no point as his words could only form mush beyond being able to tell them which section of the library to find the book or movie they were looking for.<br/><br/>But then Trent's life changed when he was walking home from the library one day and saw Sailor V in the flesh, being attacked by a monster. Despite wanting to listen to logic and run, there was something inside Trent that willed him to lend a helping hand. The mark of Mercury appeared upon his forehead and he was given his transformation bracelet to become the scout of water, Sailor Mercury. Since that night Trent has been struggling to balance his Scout duties, Library duties, school and his time gaming online leveling up his characters."

(If he swings his hammer, it's like a secondary hammer of fire reaches out ahead of it. Same with his fists)<br/><br/><em>Hellfire</em>: The only somewhat distance ability he has; ripping or smacking chunks of rock (or concrete if need be) out of the ground. The hot rocks may not be accurate, but they're big, heavy and burst into hot chunks when they land. You don't have to be a dead eye to get your damage dealt.<br/><br/><em>Gaia's Wrath</em>: Slamming either his fists or hammer into the ground, he sends out a massive shockwave that splits the earth along a few points that spew fire and molten rock into the air. (Usually his last power used due to the fact that he can't necessarily control where the breaks will go or how destructive it will be.)<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Dutiful, loyal and protective to family, friends, (should he have those) and most of all, to his king. He knows where he stands and is very straightforward and forthright, honesty, even brutal honesty, will be expected of him. He rules his slice under that assumption and tolerates nothing less than what he demands of himself.<br/><br/>His behavior can be at times odd for others to understand. Simultaneously patient and impulsive, it's sometimes hard to gauge when he'll be slow to act and when you'll find his fist in your face. There are times when he is able to wait things out with the patience of the mountains weathering a storm and other times he reacts instantly and ferociously. Even his temper can be strange, somethings take much to rouse his terrible rage and other things can cause an explosion that is as legendary as it is terrifying.<br/><br/>On a more personal level he can be warm and energetic while still feeling down to earth and calming. He's not overly fond of the people around him who are dishonest manipulators, but otherwise he's one of the more pleasant Princes to deal with. Even humans aren't overly put off by him, something about his honest and warmth calms them even as he may be doing the dark work that he was assigned to. Even if he does enjoy a good fight, he doesn't necessarily reap pleasure from their dark work, but nothing will break him from doing so, it is his duty and he has sworn loyalty to the kings orders and works.<br/><br/>The one exception being his love of fighting and destroying things, he is a Dark Prince after all. The tendency to like to bruise, break, tear, rip, shatter and all around destroy things comes into play a lot. He values strength and he loves using his own and though he can keep the urge in check, it's well known that once in awhile he has to be given something to fight or to destroy, otherwise it'll probably be something important.<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--RMnm-x1P8A/Un6nvJnUn9I/AAAAAAABYRA/nj8NTdBa4pg/s1600/1270491_10151726562203722_1513044478_o.jpg)</div><strong>Likes:</strong>Honesty.

Beer and whiskey.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Manipulators. Treasonous behavior or disobedience. Disrespect. Failure. Weak tasting food, drink or...well, anything weak. Femininity in men. (he deems it weak)<br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>He's grown to love mortal video games, particularly the ones that involve a lot of death and destruction. People in general, he loves being around them, eating and drinking with them, and mostly sleeping with the male half of the equation. He's found his way into many different martial and weapon arts teachers dojos. He keeps himself active pretty much anytime he isn't sitting around drinking, eating, working or screwing.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Gay; but willing to participate in the hetero long enough to pass on his genes.<br/><strong>Between The Sheets:</strong>Top, but privately he knows he'd bottom now and then too<br/><strong>On's &amp; Off's:</strong>Look here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=53623.0) (Yes on non-con/dub-con)<br/><strong>Dom / Switch / Sub: </strong>Dominant; if that sort of play comes into things<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>From a young age he was taught the meaning of honor and filial duty. There was no love between his parents, though there was something akin to it from them directed towards him. Both were fiercely loyal to the idea of the King and embraced the idea of bringing him back into power. They instilled these virtues into their son among other things. From his mother he learned internal strength, honesty and how to behave around one's equals and betters. His father, the general and warrior, taught him how to funnel his rage into fighting and everything he knew about fighting and warfare.<br/><br/>Bit by bit he was given command of portions of the slice that his family ruled and he proved apt and was correct, very firmly, when he was anything less than on point. His time was spent learning to fight, to rule and to survive in the political world that he would be entering as a Prince. Fighting and ruling was easy to learn, the politics was the hard part and he's had to rely on the fact that he's not stupid and that he's terrifying to anger to make sure he's not easily manipulated. His adviser, though loathsome by Abaddon's standards, is everything that Abaddon isn't, except for the fierce loyalty to his master and his master alone.<br/><br/>As per custom for their family, Abaddon faced his father in single combat before he could take the mantle of leader. The fight was famous, even by the Dark Kingdom standards, and there was quite the turnout to watch it. Abaddon made his name in defeating his father, knowing that his son or daughter would one day have to slay him in much the same way if the mantle was to be passed. He might have made his name for the simultaneous destruction that the two of them wrought in the deathmatch. Nevertheless, he had placed himself in the mantle of Dark Prince and took to it with an iron fist.<br/><br/>Quickly gaining the trust and loyalty of his slice of the Kingdom, he was respected and feared as a leader, general and fighter. He maintains a strict schedule for his territory, each person knows their place and what is expected of them. His territory quickly became efficient and his leadership was assured, he turned his attention to his duties to his King. Situating himself in the human world in a position that grants him access to many people, places and secrets, he is poised to do his duty."

It can repeal attacks.<br/><em>Silence Glaive Surprise:</em>This requires Sailor Saturn's Silence Glaive. This power starts off with Sailor Saturn holding the Glaive away from his body with the sharp blade standing vertically. He then calls out the attack phrase and then a ball of energy is generated around the blade. Once he brings down the blade to the ground, this destructive attack would be completed.

Thankfully Ryder had been old enough that picking up the native tongue wasn’t too hard for him. He enjoyed being able to speak Japanese and be able to speak Italian without people understanding him. Unfortunately when he turned thirteen some of the other students had made Ryder a target for their bullying. They had no idea that after months of torment he would finally snap and beat them to a near bloody pulp. His parents were upset that he had beat up his classmates and expelled from school.<br/><br/>His parents had put Ryder in boxing and later karate in hopes to control the temper their son suddenly began to grow. The training became good for him when he entered another school, his temper easier to control. As he got older and graduated high school he had moved out, finding himself his own place and going to college as well as being a part time instructor. He had been happily stated with his life before it suddenly changed.<br/><br/>Walking home one night he had suddenly hit a wall, a creature on top of him. Having shoved it off he watched as Sailor Venus fought against creatures, the symbol for Saturn appearing on his forehead as one creature turned towards him. It had been hard to defend himself without something to help him but he managed to do it. After a rough fight he had been told by a guardian that he was Sailor Saturn. Not understanding he just took the communicator given to him and agreed to be of help to the others."

Once this is used, Pluto forfeits his ethereal form through physical death.</li></ul><strong>Personality:</strong>People find it very easy to become friends with Bastian which can be attributed mostly to his quiet, introverted persona. As Sailor Pluto he portrays an exaggerated sense of protection and extroversion. This likely comes from his connection to the planet that shares his name. The cosmic Pluto is the furthest in the system, the first line of defense from the outer galaxy.  It must be defiant and protective. Mythological Pluto is connected to darkness, to death. As a result, Sailor Pluto is likely to sacrifice is own life for others. He understands, feels companionship with, and does not fear death. Instead he willingly accepts it.<br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Forest/woods, history, honor, loyalty, the occult, physics, astrology, twilight and night. Secretly he appreciates romance, but likely would never admit to it.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Parties, lots of people/crowds, open spaces (while not agoraphobic, Bastian prefers places where he feels closed in around him)<br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Gay<br/><strong>Between The Sheets:</strong>Switch<br/><strong>On's &amp; Off's:</strong>Bastian is open to almost anything and he has been known to explore both the light and dark side of sex.<br/><strong>Dom / Switch / Sub:</strong>Switch<br/><strong>History:</strong>Bastian grew up in  wealthy family with a long history in the occult. Because of his perceived wealth and the eccentricities of his family he grew up isolated from his peers and became quite introverted. As a child he had the best tutors and found interest in astrology and physics. Upon graduation from high school he decided to learn more about the concepts of space and time and was drawn to Tokyo after reading an article on mindfulness and the yin philosophy.<br/><br/>While practicing under a particularly sage Zen Master, Bastian excelled in meditation. It was as though during his practice he left this ethereal body and walked amongst the shadows. During one intense meditative trance he did just that and felt at most peace. It was not in battle, but in the simple moment of being one with time when his power and broader purpose emerged.<br/><br/>Thinking he was blind or dead, Bastian felt no fear. He stayed within the moment, within the complete and utter darkness, mindful of his actions and thoughts. Days later he returned to a lower form of consciousness with renewed purpose. It is likely this affinity for darkness that connects him to his Pluto alter ego.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Extra Pictures</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://i786.photobucket.com/albums/yy145/alxnjsh/4a8dcf0f8d034.jpg)(http://i786.photobucket.com/albums/yy145/alxnjsh/bb87d94e-fad3-47fb-ab8e-90f5fc13c0e3_zpse5855d16.jpg?t=1413079867)(http://i786.photobucket.com/albums/yy145/alxnjsh/4cc92893-76bb-4eb1-954a-90991481ba72_zps83e1f299.jpg?t=1413079493)(http://i786.photobucket.com/albums/yy145/alxnjsh/821e8901-f14d-4660-8903-11be63250a49_zps2ea7770d.jpg?t=1413079755)(http://i786.photobucket.com/albums/yy145/alxnjsh/bf84d8aa-e624-445d-b78b-b4d09fca52b8_zps6d4a2bf6.jpg?t=1413079655)</div></div>"

Each sphere is marked with a symbol of the zodiac before Malachi commands the sphere to shoot towards at his target; each sphere violently exploding upon impact.<br/><br/>-<em>Spiral Break</em>: Several swirls of pure darkness and light flow from his body. One of his Katars absorbs the dark energy while the other Katar absorbs the light. Together, spiraling towards enemy and striking them with his blades while simultaneously sending a blast of concussive force with the energy absorbed in his weapons.<br/><br/>-<em>Eschaton</em>: Malachi raises his hands, summoning forth two spheres; one of light and one of darkness. He then hurls the two orbs; light striking to stun his enemies while they become trapped by the growing dark sphere. The sphere of darkness then expands and glows blindingly bright before violently exploding, leaving the target badly injured or possibly dead.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Malachi is soft spoken and carries himself with a jovial, refined nature. Despite being of the Dark Kingdom, he doesn't go out of his way to be exceedingly sinister or vile. Between his playful, laid back nature and beauty, have lead some to view him as the weakest of the King's four princes and that is what Malachi wants others to think. Subtle slips of his dialogue and shady quips regarding his fellow princes and even his king occasionally suggest that he just may be obfuscating a far more treacherous and disturbing nature than he normally displays.<br/><br/>Malachi is a narcissistic, effeminate self-lover. His love for pretty people and things extend down to his very own kingdom portion within the Dark Kingdom. One will go there and notice that there is not one ugly looking person in sight. Rumor has it he had all of them put to death. Others say they were exiled. Even the buildings reflect his narcissism. They are styled as beautiful Gothic and Rococo architectures of his kingdom's structures. He does consider himself the most beautiful of the Dark Princes and he's not afraid to utilize his strikingly good looks as a tool in manipulation to attain his desires. His vanity aside, he can be pleasant to those he deems as pretty, both male and female. Aside from his looks, he is also convinced of his own abilities in battle; though this thought is justified considering that he is a highly skilled gymnast, combatant and fast. Very fast and he values his swiftness as much as he does his looks.<br/><br/>On a more personal level, he doesn't enjoy displaying emotions aside from joy. His anger is usually tranquil and those who have gotten his temper to explode are not around on this plane of existence anymore. Mainly because at that point, Malachi can become incredibly sadistic to the point of being a bloodthirsty monster. That side is rare to be displayed. Behind his smile and those glacial blue eyes is a scheming mind and the fact that Malachi is always in a playful mood makes it sometimes difficult to exactly read him. Dangerous for his enemies and possibly even his allies.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong><br/>Beauty<br/>Being Outdoors<br/>Wine<br/>Dancing<br/>Working Out<br/>Chocolate<br/>Fine Dining<br/>Luxury<br/>Mind games<br/>Moonlight<br/>Schadenfreude<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong><br/>Cheap food and products<br/>Poor Hygiene<br/>Malice...though he isn't vocal about it aside from subtle quips<br/>Ugly people<br/>Disrespect<br/>Boredom<br/>People who have less personality than a rock<br/>The Elderly<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Running.

Both had a love for the beautiful things life had to offer and many of said things were given to Malachi. His parents were very loyal to the Dark King, pledging their loyalty to him whole heartedly and thus when they had passed on, Malachi took their place in serving Damarius as one of his four Dark Princes. Though part of Malachi always thought he was meant for something greater rather than serving the mighty Dark King and being given the task to begin collecting energy to fully revive him.<br/><br/>His parents were everything to him. The family had been attacked by those in rebellion of Damarius eventual return. While he had gotten away from the ambush, he had caught glimpses of his parents being slaughtered by a gang of the most hideous people he'd ever laid eyes on. That moment as a child, Malachi formed quite the negative outlook on those less fortunate looking. Only a day after he took the throne to rule over his portion of the Dark Kingdom, Malachi had his portion of the kingdom purged of the ill-figured and the ugly.<br/><br/>In the present, he serves his king dutifully along side his other 3 allies and has been faithful to the King as his parents had been. Still, having a small taste for power occasionally leads to him fantasizing about being on the very top of the Dark Kingdom's food chain."

Fingers curling around the bag, a white furry blanket draped over his knees and thighs in a wound about manner appearing to have once been over him. His head appearing to have eventually moved from the throw-pillow now behind his head during that time as well. With his leg draped over and 3/4 of the way on his tummy he had left himself unknowingly partially exposed. Vivid blue straps running up his bare bottom, snug across the doughy mounds of his plump behind indenting them slightly from the tightness of the small sporty undergarment. The orange fabric of the front, so bright and tangerine-like in color having remained quite fitted along his bulge. Fragments of light from behind flowing curtains dancing along his precious bum falling off that delightfully curved spine whilst he dreamed. The bag of popcorn hugged somewhat under his body, the twist of his body forcing the tight and still developing, barely chiseled physique. What very little muscle in his arms flexing a fair amount.<br/><br/>Manga of himself in several books tossed around him. Even having purchased his own merchandise, a set of gauges with matching blue metal rims and a gorgeously orange glossy and glittery non-plastic center that looked like an orange swirling mist inside them.  A controller leading up to the television he had been watching with his own game-station he had brought with him. A stack of three Sailor V games from when it was just himself still resting there, proud of himself and also enjoying them it seemed he'd passed out from an overdose of himself. Eden's lower lip quivered in his sleep as he curled further away an entire foot from Dominic's bed.<br/><br/>"

Sighing loudly he saw Eden laid out on the ground with all of his things strewn about and couldn't help the irritation that came over him. Ever since he discovered Eden's true identity of being Sailor Venus and took on the duties of being his guardian the white haired teen seemed to make himself quiet at home in his one bedroom apartment.  A sullen expression came over his face before his life was interrupted by finding the scout he was supposed to protect, train and advise he had a very quiet life. Dominic was a professor at Aoyama Gakiun University and had just finished an especially trying morning class of students who took his religious studies course in the hopes of obtaining an easy A... He loathed slackers and yet here was one self indulgent little slacker who was sprawled out on the floor of his very apartment.<br/><br/>Although he himself was dressed less than professional given his chosen career he looked more bohemian with his light olive colored button up denim shirt the sleeves rolled up to just below his elbows, his pants were blue jeans but slim fit that suited his narrow waist and trim physique. The black t-shirt he wore beneath his button up peeked out slightly as he had the top buttons of his denim shirt undone. Dangling at his wrists was his prayer beads that he wore at all times to remind himself to quell his trademark attitude that was prone to sudden mood swings.<br/><br/>Sliding the paper bag of groceries he had obtained on his walk home he surveyed the small living quarters. Like most Tokyo apartments it was modest to say the least, but he prided himself on keeping it tidy. The space had a joint kitchen, living room and bedroom. Right now Eden occupied both the bed and living room areas at once by sprawling himself and all his merchandise every which way across the floors over the counter and even some on the bed. Twitching he regretted giving him a copy of the apartment key. Placing the key onto a small peg hanger near the door he then quietly approached the sleeping teen crouching on his knees. A small patch of red spread across his face when he realized Eden was only wearing a jock strap clearing his throat he had originally planned to slap his hands together next to Eden's head to wake him up but now he was slightly apprehensive.<br/><br/>This was the boy he was supposed to be watching over and honing to become a force of good against the threats looming to destroy earth and yet he couldn't help his attention being drawn to his shapely rear. Forcing himself to look away he merely grabbed the cartoon sized bag of popcorn he was snuggled against and yanked it out from under him in one swift jerk.<br/><br/>""Oy! Wake up! Its nearly two pm... I brought home some groceries to prepare some homemade ramen so clean up your stuff and I'll let you have some okay?"" He said in an unnecessarily loud voice in attempt to rouse him, the hint of his Italian accent still lingering on in his speech even after the many years of living outside Italy.<br/><br/>His dark eyes were studying his face to see if he would be awoken so easily the boy slept like the dead when he had these fits of narcolepsy which made him constantly worry over his condition. Dominic's perpetually tan skin was especially noticeable with the sunlight peering in through the large screen doors that were at the opposite end of the meager apartment. He had shaggy multi-toned brown hair that wasn't styled in any particular way the dark strands falling haphazardly with a slight part on the right side. Standing up he walked back over to the kitchen pulling out various ingredients he had purchased to make the aforementioned ramen. Despite his slight annoyance over the state of the apartment he actually was quiet fond of Eden viewing him like a little brother, an attractive little brother, but still his little brother as he reminded himself regularly when he saw him in his various states of undress."

Venus ear-studs.<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Dominic Keagan , Open<br/><hr/><br/>Eden was snuggled close with that annoyingly orange, massive size of cheesy popcorn. The bag crinkling as his cheek just barely pressed to it.  Eyelids barely flenching or twitching as the door to the apartment had come open. Not a single sign of a  reaction in the least was given. The boy too deep in his own sleep to be aware of anything. His head now that it had been moved seemed to have silenced the barely audible snore that fairly hummed the wooden floors. Instead just a slightly heavier than normal breath was given, as if he were blissful. Something happy was in his expression. Arms laced about the bag lovingly as his cheek seemed to actually be affectionately nuzzling it. Lips just barely moving as if to make poor attempts to mouth words when the snoring wasn't taking over. It was obvious he couldn't hear a thing, literally sleeping like the dead though - no where near as badly as could normally be possible from the platinum haired college freshman.<br/><br/>Then, it happened. That unknown presence due to his unconscious state? Yes, that one. It did something unmentionable! Eden's eyes came open slowly after his head dropped just a fair amount. Not hitting the floor, however part of his body slipped down just a bit once the comedically sized bag has been quickly snatched from his arms and under his cheek. A deep inhale given the moment it slipped until he had realized he was now awake. A bit of a whining sound coming from his sealed lips. Still obviously not fully awoken he gave a short whimpered whisper<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" ...Popcorn.. ""</em></span>he'd whisper using a single hand to grab for it while the other rubbed his eye. Seeming to have thought he would fall or something it appeared before that sweet voice broke the silence with such a simple word. A still sleepy stare given before he'd rub one of his eyes and then the other.  The scout finally seemed to think of what the other had yelled and took a moment to understand. Thick lashes giving an almost curious  flutter as the teen slowly sat up. Eden's torso rising as he questioned<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" ...Spicy ramen? ""</em></span>he'd ask as if hinting towards what kind he wanted somewhat. A fair tinge of a smile spread about that flirty set of lips.<br/><br/>Sadly however, he knew from the moment Dominic walked away that he wouldn't get anything that was even anywhere near close to an answer until he had cleaned up the ... slight mess he may or may not have made. Maybe the person who also made it may have possibly...slightly cheated in cleaning it up as well. Picking up and closing the mangas that he had purchased, based on himself of course. Placing them up in the book case as if they were important and belonged with the rest of the older male's religious books.  Smiling and giving an approving nod as he looked about. A sack of small snacks he hadn't yet eaten, shoved under the male's bed along with a reciept for the games and another one for the manga. Perhaps even a pair of shirts, pants and socks he had worn the day prior underneath it until he could do laundry later that day. Eden didn't take long to linger into the kitchen , leaning over the counter and watching Dominic pull out different ingredients. before eventually wrapping his arms around the other's waist and peeking from under the other's arm and other ways to see everything.<br/><br/>Getting on his tip-toes and possibly making that orange bulge press firm and give a gentle unsturdy bounce to the back of the other male's thigh when on his toes from behind the other. Though it was purely innocent he'd press his cheek to the other's bicep and pick up one of the vegetables. Taking a look at it curiously before putting it down once down to his usual height.<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" ..I like when you cook for me. ""</em></span>he'd state almost sweetly. Hugging the other from behind<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" Can you teach me? ""</em></span>he'd add finally. Looking up to the other's face and stretching his neck around a bit to look for his expression and answer."

He had debated throwing the damned artificial snack in the trash but instead had stowed it away in the pantry. Perhaps he was too soft a heart when it came to his Venus but it was easier than fighting him all the time. When they had first met it was constant arguments at least on his side of things and frustration to no end but eventually the charm of the flirty boy had convinced him to ease up.  He had just produced a bag of jalapenos when he heard Eden cross the floor trying not to stare at him as he felt his arms wrap about his torso and the sensation of his body press against his own. Exhaling slowly his chest writhing as fought off the arousal that was quiet instinctual when he was being molested by a half naked man in his own kitchen. Looking back over his shoulder down at him he shook his head an amused smile playing on his full lips his stubble covered jaw slightly on edge showing his mild annoyance.<br/><br/>""I know you like my cooking, its why I like to cook for you. That way I know you have at least one healthy meal a day, I swear your going to get fat if you keep eating like that Venus..."" Despite the harsh choice of words his tone was actually affectionate as the annoyance slipped from his face. ""Now get off and go put on some pants and I'll show you how.""<br/><br/>Gently peeling his hands off his waist he shifted trying to hide any physical indication of his inclination towards the blond man and started to unload the rest of the groceries. Turning around once he was confident he was in control of any lingering feelings he ran his hand over Edens styled hair tracing it down his cheek and cupping his cheek in one hand as he leaned down close keeping eye contact with him the whole time.  ""Oh, and after we eat you can clean the trash out from under the bed and do your laundry.""<br/><br/>Living with one another had produced a series of little flirtations between the two but nothing had come of it, yet. However if the boy kept tracing around like that he wasn't going to be able to hold back one of these days. Letting go of his face he grabbed his shoulder and gently pushed him towards the bedroom area to change. Running his fingers over his prayer beads he said a quick internal chant as he spared himself one last look at that pleasant rear before going through the cupboards to retrieve the cooking equipment he would need. Once he was sure he had his various implements he then unbuttoned his shirt and folded it neatly laying it on the counter top. With the button up shirt removed his more toned body was revealed the black shirt fitting snug against his form. He then pulled on a blue apron tying it neatly behind himself and waited for Venus to return to the kitchen so they could proceed uncertain if the boy had merely been teasing or serious he decided to give him a chance to learn if he really wanted."

Venus ear-studs.<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Dominic Keagan , Open<br/><hr/><br/>A bit of happiness swelled up in the teen's porcelain cheeks, glowing with positivity and charm in everything he did. Bright blue eyes glittering as he watched the other's hands as if waiting for him to begin. Eden was naturally likable and lovable, somehow behind all the goofiness that he was? There was something beautiful there, still classically and unavoidably attractive in addition to that. Snuggling along the other's back. A sigh in a blissful comfort spilling from his lips in a light hum as he so slowly opened his resting eyes to peek up at the other. Blushing a bit the moment the other admitted why he liked to cook for him and seemed caring about his health. That one healthy meal a day statement despite being harsh, somehow the blonde knew where it came from. Taking his time to release the other from his cuddling clutches.<br/><br/>Once Eden had actually forced himself to release his loving grasp on the other,  he'd cock his head to the side as he watched the other finish unloading the rest of the groceries. Pausing to go get dressed as he placed a single digit to his lower lip. The vegetables seeming to look tasty already in his book. Unknowingly still flashing his gorgeously pale bum and its round and healthy shape with his head turned just slightly. Only around two feet away from the other, he'd blink and notice he was being watched. Fluttering his thick lashes in confusion, curious of what the other would say and then giving that same ditzy and dumbfounded twinkle in his eyes as if taking a minute. Did he watch? Or did he just know what he had done? That craned over leaning from the taller, older male forced a light gulp.<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" Oh, uh...kay? ""</em></span></em>he'd whisper in a raspy, boyish way. Glancing to the side, a very rare occurrence of the boy's shyness compared to his always outgoing self. Caught off guard a bit, he'd stare down briefly. Knowing that if he stood there, he'd easily show impossible to hide arousal in his strap. Eden's brows tilted a bit, looking away from the other's lips and stubbled chin before  looking down once released from the hold.<br/><br/>Eden would remain silent and make his way to change. A tight white Lana Del Rey tank-top (http://img1.etsystatic.com/011/0/5349264/il_fullxfull.454442357_9wn5.jpg) snug along his chiseled sculpting abs. Arms exposed and building up biceps on his petite form flexing a bit as he ran his fingers through his own silky blonde hair. A pair of vividly red skinny jeans (http://i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/953571475/Drop-Shipping-2013-Male-Spring-Slim-Red-Casual-Skinny-Jeans-Men-s-Elastic-Pencil-Pants-Denim.jpg), tight along his legs in an impressively second-skin like fit. A pair of grey socks and without his shoes for now. A last minute accessory of a red - black and white assortment of bracelets (https://img1.etsystatic.com/021/0/8321585/il_170x135.485740329_8qje.jpg). A candy necklace spreading his lips, one of the treats from his small junk-food stash no doubt. Unable to help himself or his own childish charm from time to time. The small sweet-tart like candies on the white thread along his neck hanging down to his collar bone as he released it just realizing how silly he probably looked, he shrugged. At least the other hadn't seen him sitting on top of the washing machine downing pixie-sticks after gathering his laundry? He'd pause looking the other up and down briefly. A fair tinge of sultriness as his eyes lingered up  and down enjoying the slightly more exposed version of Dominic. Despite the other being brotherly? There was a bit of a something between the two. However Eden personally wondered if he should let anything happen or make the first move. He'd use the age as an excuse, but in fact that factor was kind of arousing in some aspects."

However it was like constantly having something he craved being dangled under his nose. Abstaining he thought the idea of their relationship becoming physical would detract from their purpose which he was now reminding himself of as he saw out of the corner of his eye the incredibly tight jeans his forced upon roommate was wearing. Dominic was also not an incredibly outgoing person compared to Eden which made it hard for him to gauge if he was simply being playful or if the affectionate hugs and flirtations were a reflection of any desire for himself or just a part of his personality.<br/><br/>At first when he had met Eden he found his constant cutesy behavior and sometimes ditzy personality to be mind numbing but as he grew to know him there was much more than just that bubbly exterior that drew him closer. Taking out a knife and sharping the edge he debated if he should encourage him to stay away more and spend time at his own house partially out of fear that his desires were coming more frequently as his attraction to Eden only seemed to become more prominent. As the full moon approached the lycanthrope nature of his being found it harder to resist those carnal urges that flared within him. Normally he would find a lover within that time span and relieve the urges that normally became the most prominent but with Eden around he hardly had time for social calls.<br/><br/>Taking out a second cutting board and knife he set it to the side for Eden giving him a warm smile as he handed him some of the vegetables showing him how he should hold the knife and the exact nature of how to cut them. Precision was something Dominic took pride in everything he approached he tried to use the best method to achieve it. Walking behind him he placed his slightly larger hand atop his and showed him how to move the knife his other, his warm muscular body now pressed against his back. Due to his nature his blood ran slightly warmer than a normal humans so he radiated warmth quiet literally. ""There just like that, good."" he said encouraging him his head resting on his shoulder for a moment before pulling away to return to what he was doing."

Something that very rarely plagued the Teen scout. Brows tilting in a submissive expression after looking down and back up with those frosty Bambi-like blue hues. His head cocking to the side as he watched Dominic closely bring out the second cutting board. Eden's pouty and pink lips rubbing against one another, spreading a peppermint scented chapstick applied earlier whilst changing in a somewhat timid manner. Questioning how to handle himself with Dominic at times and whether he should be flirting with him sometimes, even though it came quite natural just in his own behavior. The boy hid his timidness the moment he felt his hand taken and the taller figure  circle around him after offering that warm smile and having placed a few vegetables in front of him. Getting a bit flushed at the warmth building up between the two from Dominic's naturally hot blooded body craning over him.<br/><br/>Following the movements the other's hand guided him to do. Staring down and waching each vegetable slice apart. Barely moving them forward with his other hand under the older male's guidance. Having not realized how muscular Dominic truly was til the other was pressed against his back.  Getting a bit more pink in the cheeks, not something that ever grew easily nor was he embarrased with anyone else doing so. He'd began to chop a bit slower, eventually resting his cheek ontop of Dominic's head.<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> "" ... I like the feeling of your stubble on my neck.. ""</span></em>he'd admit. The candy necklace from between his lips dropping as if it were something truly important to say.<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" It feels nice.. ""</em></span>he'd whisper, adding it onto his simple confession with ease. Chopping up the vegetables laid before him and dividing them into their own little area before moving onto the next. Not a single waiver in his voice and seeming to not stay on the topic for long, this specific scout didn't linger on the subject in the least."

""Oh? Really now. I would have thought you'd detest stubble. You know you should be careful with what you say one of these days I'm going to take it more seriously."" he said with a chuckle before he then gathered up the vegetables they had cut he having made quick work of the vegetables he had set aside to cut himself. Watching him for a moment he let off a sigh shaking his head the pull of the moon was either strong or he was still caught up in the mental image of the young man in his briefs.<br/><br/>""So whats on your agenda today?"" he tried to change the subject as he began adding various spices, herbs and water to the pot taking the time to explain to him what went in and when and for what purpose. He took on that educator persona speaking confidently as he did so. Gathering up the cutting boards he loaded them into the dish washer along with the knives working quickly and listening with sincerity with whatever Venus had to say. Removing the apron he tossed it into the laundry basket and then bent down to fish out bowls from the bottom cupboard. As he did his shirt rode up along his broad back and showed the elastic band of his black boxers. While Venus was more voluptuous and softly defined it was clear that Dominic was more toned his body honed from his martial arts practice to give it that runners style muscular build and it had an affect on his backside as well giving his ass tone and shape without having that same soft bubble appearance.<br/><br/>Straightening up he put the bowls on the counter and then began going through the motions of making his favorite beverage green tea. ""Would you like a cup?"" he offered while he mixed the loose leaf tea in a mortar and pestle grinding it with a bit of sugar to give it the flavor he wanted."

A slight happiness as he tried to fight an obviously flirty and flattered smile. Those pouty and plump petals of his lush mouth showing no signs of what do expression wise til he sucked them in almost timidly. Trying to fight the shyness that he never usually had gotten. Embarrassed with ease when it came to the elder male. A feeling and place he was not used to being in, emotionally. That pretty-boy heart breaker charm that kept him calm and collected, cool while smooth if not outgoing seemed to be defected. It didn't come naturally with Dominic, he had to force himself to remain natural and calm. Constantly getting butterflies and small spikes of certain things that most wouldn't do unless for a loved one.<br/><br/>The platinum haired teen paused for a moment as the other shook his head and prepared vegetables. A slight flash of memory of his own self just a few days ago, wearing that crisp larger white dress-shirt Dominic wore to work that day for the schools in nothing else. Bursting at the seams with attraction for the other , he'd played with himself day-dreaming in the other's bed. Knowing he could have nearly anyone else at this point. Nearly a small-time popular boy idol at school and praised as a scout on the internet and other places. Eden gulped at the memory, having been greatful after all that, Dominic had not come home that night to see a later to be embarrassed gushing mess of a barely legal student of his in his bed in his clothing. Was it something that people just did? A stereotypically generic act of depraved love? Or were Eden's senses flooded with erotic thoughts shortly after wearing the other's shirt? The scent of the man he wanted to be on top of him still carried on that crisp fabric.<br/><br/>The boy did his best to snap out of that day-dreaming thought process to answer what was on his agenda. A slight ditsy moment shown as he stared at the other in a bit of a confusion before understanding as his mind circled about the question. Such a simple question earning a rather puzzled expression.<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">"" I.. don't know yet. ""</span></em>he'd admit, not ever being one for making plans unless necessary he'd shrug. Leaning towards the counter and propping himself up on the counter as usual getting a good look at the other's toned behind and boxers as he bent down. The teen bit the inside of his cheek fairly letting his sight drift to the side. Only briefly nodding upon the offer of tea.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" I... think maybe I should try and socialize with the other scouts more.

A common problem for someone popular who could very well get half of their class to drop their pants for him. The fame of Sailor V didn't help much in that aspect, though he enjoyed it. Sometimes the good had a bit of bad to add along with it. Pouting his lips to the side and letting his feet pace restlessly swinging gently in the air as he sat upon the counter.<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">"" Maybe I'll buy some daifuku from the cafe and pop in to see one of them.  Jupiter, ....Jacob - probably won't eat them but..

I don't know much about the other yet...""</span></em>he'd smile downward jokingly. Still struggling to remember to call them by their real names to be more personal. A slight raspy, boyish whisper to his tone.<br/><br/>Still struggling and questioning why he was holding back. He knew or nearly entirely guessed that the sailor guardian that was their beloved Artemis would love him and let him do as he pleased with whoever. However the thought about being in a monogamous relationship at all was terrifying to some extent. Not that he could explain why. He for some reason wanted to cut off all other ties first and ask before making that leap and making the other possibly feel cheated.<br/><br/>"

He enjoyed flirting, he enjoyed Eden, the two together?  Made him anxious. The anxiety stemmed from a desire to be a good guardian to the younger male, taking advantage of him to slake his lust seemed callous and he didn't dare hurt him. Sparing a sideways glance as he began to steep the tea in his favorite cast iron pot he let off a slightly wistful sigh his chest rising and falling slightly. A different set of circumstances and perhaps he would have just simply thrown the blonde onto his bed and forced that timid smile to twist into one of blissful pleasure but he knew that if he were to indulge it couldn't be a casual fling. The feelings he had for him were fiercely protective and sincere if anything he would have given anything to Eden if only he asked but given their age difference and set of circumstances he chalked it up to an impossibility.<br/><br/>Twisting his fingers around the handle of the cast iron tea kettle it was squat and a deep faded red perfect for holding several cups of the strong brew the fireflies on it symbolized harmony and peace in the home. Usually it applied to newly weds but he liked the design regardless. Taking a matching red iron stand for the kettle he set both down at the table in the living room while he listened to Venus' plans. Unable to hide his smirk he was pleased that Eden was thinking about uniting his team he knew that Venus was a born leader and making an effort to get to know his fellow guardians would be a big step in the right direction. ""That sounds like a very good plan, sometime we should run through drills together as a group. I think the Thai Chi dojo I joined is secluded enough to make for a suitable practice ground."" He said encouragingly. The team had just formed and he had bestowed on each young man the bands they would use to transform and communicate amongst themselves but he hadn't had much personal contact with each.<br/><br/>Venus was his first scout and the one he felt the most draw to protect, wither the bubbly teen realized it that natural likability he possessed also made him a target. Walking back to the kitchen his bare feet plodding along the hardwood as he turned off the stove and began dulling out portions of the ready spicy ramen dish. ""Oh, I'll need some time alone next week just Saturday and Sunday I think should do it. It'll be the full moon and I'll need quiet to meditate to maintain my human form."" it was a slight lie, he did have to meditate to not give into his feral side but he had found having sex was the easiest method to stave off the beasts desires to overtake his humanity. Masturbation could also help but it was difficult to even do so without the beast raging with a teen boy coming and going as he pleased in the apartment. Settling down into a cross legged position he lifted a pair of chopsticks and began to enjoy some of the vegetables inside the spicy broth."

Unfortunately they had yet to do much socializing and he was starting to feel badly about that, being the self appointed leader he wanted to fix that. Typing away rapidly on his iPhone he sent off a message<em>Hey guys! I'm headed down to the Hobgoblin for some drinks and food, if your in Shibuya stop on by we should hang out. If you show up it'll be my treat, I swear.</em>. Wither or not they came he was still happy to have the night off. The blonde man was usually preoccupied with one of his several odd jobs trying to make ends meet or engrossed in studying for his engineering classes, with his latest exam out of the way he was ready to relax.<br/><br/>Walking down the hall he paused smirking as he saw a name directory and one specifically ""Cody Gaelle huh..?"" he said to himself as he then turned back around on his heel and headed down the hall once more. Much of his team seemed shy but Cody stood out as the kind to make any excuse he could come up with to avoid going out. Pausing at his door he rapped his knuckles in succession on the dorm room entrance waiting to see if he was in or not. Leaning against the door frame he was dressed in his favorite worn in brown leather jacket, it hugged his slender physique nicely ending a few inches above the hips his white t-shirt showing slightly underneath as he had the collar pulled back into place his moon pendant necklace dangling around his neck.<br/><br/>Other than his nice attire he was still a little rough looking around the edges his blond hair with its brown strands strewn about was in need of a hair cut or styling at the least, the length of it starting to sweep down his neck and over his blue eyes. Although he shaved, his stubble was ever present against his tan skin. He didn't care much for overly groomed appearances thinking them overrated he often left his hair shaggy and unkempt giving him a sort of beach bum look.<br/>"

Head cocked to the side, fingers running back through those thick and breezy platinum blonde locks before a sigh spilled past his pouty lips as he watched the caramel skinned Italian make his tea. The precious teen's curious stare lingering upon the other as he daydreamed just briefly. Watching the other's biceps and that fitted fabric along his torso. There were things that the teen scout wanted to do to him. However there were just as many things that the fair skinned Baltic boy wanted Dominic to do to him as well. Looking at the couple's cups and the fact the two had been living together, even though Eden had a dorm room at the college and had invited himself in. He wanted so badly to be with the other, drawn to him. Even if it was just his company.<br/><br/>Sure, Eden had to sleep on the floor anymore since the other seemed uncomfortable by how little the smaller brother figure wore to sleep in. If he wore anything that was.    The blonde sighed, arms resting behind him as he leaned back. Watching the other flow back and forth pacing and moving things from kitchen to the table in the living room.  Listening to their Were-companion's input and suggestion. Laughing hesitantly at the mention of running through drills and practice.<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" Yep, drills will get them to like me. You're so right Dominic. ""</em></span>he'd add still giving that unsure laughter through out his words teasingly.  He'd pause for a moment after hopping down from the counter, feet pressed to the floor and turning towards the other as the darker skinned male walked back into the kitchen.<br/><br/>The blonde's brows lifted as he watched the other pull ramen from the pot and into his bowl whilst speaking. A slight quirky questioning look to his expression. Curious and not sure exactly what was going on as the other spoke so seriously. It wasn't something of a tone that seemed quite familiar with the other unless he was being scolded for something of that sort. The further the other went into depth on it he'd seem to be a bit let down, but teasing.<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">"" First I lose my bed-buddy and now I have to leave? Quite mean, aren't you? Am I paying for my wrong-doing? "" </span></em>he'd smile shortly after. Understanding the alone time and necessities, as he pulled mass amounts of ramen into his bowl. Sighing in relief as the spicy scent lifted. Clicking his chopsticks in song to celebrate his spicy ramen whilst making his way towards the table. An extremely loving smile on his face as he sat beside the other. On his knees and leaning in to kiss the other affectionately on the cheek  before rocking back into the same cross legged style Dominic had been in. A comfy exhale spreading his lips as he held the bowl in his lap and began to grin down , clumping a decent amount of noodles together and guiding them to his mouth lovingly. Seeming to really enjoy the spicy treat of a meal as he stuffed his mouth.<br/>"

The scanty clothes, the flirtations it was almost too much to endure but somehow he did. In truth having him there gave him something to look forward to after his long thankless days of teaching, it felt like coming home to a lover instead of a little brother or as a protector to a scout. As he felt the warmth of his lips against his cheek he tried to suppress a shudder that came out more as a sigh. Impressed at how easily he gave affection without asking much in return it stunned him, then again most of his relationships revolved around his lunar cycles. Afraid to become close with others for fear of them finding out his true nature and rejecting him he usually was forced to love 'em and leave 'em rather than allow anything to manifest.<br/><br/>Thinking on the matter for a moment as he quietly enjoyed his meal he realized the short few months they had known one another was the longest he had a male around him that wasn't strictly a colleague or friend. The thought was a bit depressing but also reassuring perhaps he could maintain his control, he had done so with Eden after all. Chuckling slightly he shook his head as he gave a devilish grin quirking an eyebrow. ""Well maybe I don't care if they like you,"" he said his voice full of teasing remarks "" but if Mercury is the way you say, it sounds like he might take a liking to you being disciplined. Bed-buddy...?""<br/><br/>Shaking his head he let off another chuckle as he wondered just how this young man might actually perceive him, did he realize how far into the lions den, or in this case tigers, he had wandered? ""I suppose that's a good term, but when the beast rises you wouldn't just be a bed-buddy so I need to be careful. Especially when all you wear is those bright colored underwear or most nights nothing..."" he found himself saying that without thinking on it first slightly regretting the moderate confession. He tried not to make eye contact to make the comment seem more casual than it had actually been. Taking a deep swallow of the tea after another mouthful of the spicy ramen, he normally made it more balanced but he come to start tailoring the food he made more to the preference of Eden rather than his own."

Finding comfort and relaxation in reading and studying, in even the smallest bits of growth, made it easy to absorb all of his time with it. He had friends in high school, but he had taken for granted how easy the small microcosm of high school made that. Now, a freshman in college, he hadn't put much effort into making new friends, and the poor boy didn't even realize there was a problem at hand. He did enjoy the company of the other Scouts, but Cody just assumed they were just as busy juggling a mundane life and one as a Scout as he was, and he didn't want to intrude. After all, they were brought together rather abruptly, who is to say that the other teammates even enjoy his company?<br/><br/>He had given a polite decline to the text, using an upcoming test as an excuse. When he heard the knock on the door, he got up from his seat to head over, already answering before he opened the door, ""James isn't here, I think he's..."" When he opened the door and saw Noah on the other side, he paused for a moment, trying to wrack his brain for why the teammate would be there. After not finding the answer after a moment, Cody gave a smile, opening the door more, ""Hey! What's up? Did you and the guys decide not to go out?"""

No, we're..or I should say, we..."" he said flicking a finger from himself then towards the other male with a grin and absolute certainty to his voice ""are going out! Studying? Really? How do you expect us to work well together if we don't hardly know one another?"" he made a small tisking noise as he waved his finger back and forth in disapproval  his other hand coming up to his hip.<br/><br/>""I know I don't look it but I'm actually a great student here, I can help you after you take a break. What's the test on anyhow?"" he asked eager to see if the text rejection had been just an excuse to cover up his unwillingness to leave the dormitory or if it was truthfully overwhelmed. He found most times due to his laid back approach to school work and outgoing personality many didn't think  he took his academics seriously. Although he had been teasing him a bit about studying he was also quiet serious about how he felt that the team should become more friendly he barely knew anything about the group of guys aside from they went to the same school and were in roughly the same age range. The more they grew to care for one another surely that would reflect on their ability to tackle what would inevitably come their way."

I'm not really used to... this sort of team."" He pursed his lips together briefly and let his hand fall to the back of his neck. The topic of Noah's academic record made him look nervous at first, as if he had somehow insinuated Noah wasn't a good student, ""R-really? It's on molecular basis of disease."" Cody cocked his head to the side and chuckled, ""I guess I don't even know your major.""<br/><br/>Cody glanced back into his room before looking back to Noah, ""Alright, I can see how it's important for the team, and I guess I already aced the practice exam..."" He bit his lower lip before smiling back up at Noah, ""Alright, I'll come alone. What kind of place are we going to, anyway? Oh, I can't stay out all night...""

I read it in this military tactics book that fellow combatants are more likely to aid one another in times of distress if their friends amongst in the ranks.""

Not really relevant though would it be? So pre-med major?

""I'm a engineering major, emphasis on city planning and civil projects with an minor in physics."" he answered casually as he sat on the edge of Cody's bed waiting for him to pick out an outfit. Half wondering what he might put on considering in his book he thought Cody looked fine in the slacks and t-shirt. He caught himself lingering a bit on his form and jerked his eyes away instead.

The other side of his room had the typical college posters, including one of a scantily clad lady and one addressing that it is always time to get drunk. His bed was unmade, but given that there was a laptop, powered on, resting on the bed, it's probably where Cody was sitting before Noah's visit. He idly pushed hangers across his closet, peeking over his shoulder as Noah mentioned the idea of tactics, ""Well, I can see the merit there... Have you read Machiavelli's 'The Prince?' My Dad had me read it to prepare me for 'the treacherous world of bureaucracy and politics' when I was ten."" Cody included actual air quotes and seemed to find the whole experience laughable, ""It's actually a really short book for something that's supposed to tell you how to conquer and lead nations...""<br/><br/>Cody chuckled at the two options given to him about the test in mind, ""Pre-Med. Though I'd hope to say a little of each."" He nodded at Noah's major, smiling, ""I'll be taking a basic Physics course next semester to prepare me for kinesiology -- maybe you could help me out with that?"" Cody seemed to at least expect the pair would be cordial that far in the future, and was making some effort for the two to have common ground. He didn't seem shy about reaching down and pulling his t-shirt up and over his head. The motion of his arms raising up making his back arch, the muscles in his chest and stomach tense up. His trim frame showed the soft lines of the taut muscles in his torso. He twisted his upper body to toss the shirt into a nearby empty hamper, before turning back to the closet. Another long sleeve t-shirt with a tighter collar was pulled from the closet and pulled down over his body.<br/><br/>He turned back to Noah, before giving himself one more look, and back at his guest, ""Are we meeting the others there, or are we getting them too?""<br/><br/>"

He was a bit too sensitive to be a ruthless leader like Machiavelli.<br/><br/>Lost a bit in watching the other man change, it wasn't the first torso he had seen but he was still happy to have his upper body in full view. Perhaps the young man wasn't as shy as he had first thought since he was so willing to change right in front of him, however it wasn't as though he had stripped completely bare. When he asked if they were gathering the others he gave a slight grimace as he rubbed the back of his neck.

I assume here on campus, do you know?"" he asked chuckling slightly well aware how ridiculous his methods were in gathering up his compatriots.<br/><br/>Though that was how Noah approached most things, he formulated an idea a vague way of getting to it and then improvised along the way.

""Machiavelli made his choice to be ruthless, but he offered solutions that were more difficult, but could create a stronger platform for command. He stated, and I'm paraphrasing, that one can rule by fear or love -- and while fear is much easier, love is stronger. Most people take from this that if you try to combine the two, you're still ruling by fear even if you don't want to admit it, so just be a jack ass and that's the end of it, but he is offering a hypothetical that if one could rule by love alone, they'd be a better, and more stable, ruler. Though naturally, the likely hood of maintaining that approaches zero with a larger population...""<br/><br/>Cody turned back, realizing he might have been rambling, giving a nervous chuckle, ""I uh... Yeah. I'll try to keep the conversation a little lighter. I'm not sure where the other guys live though. I figure they're all students, except for maybe Plu-- Bastian."" He looked down and chuckled, ""Need to get better at remembering real names. I guess I'm ready to go! Maybe shoot out another text and see if they're planning to meet us there or not?"""

The warmth of the bowl held also to make sure it would not be dumped with his hand. The bowl of course that the boy had chosen was quite large. The young scout filling it quite decently. The hot noodles stirring up to his hungry, full lips. Guided by the smooth light wooden chopsticks. Brows tilting in a loving expression as it became audible how much he had enjoyed the spicier noodles. A faint, airy and slightly also somehow muffled sigh of appreciation flowing from his direction as he paused during his meal just briefly. Taking a moment to flutter his lashes and swallow as he set his bowl - still quite full on the table to fetch something from the kitchen. A happy tip-toed prance back and forth, the sound of the fridge door opening and a slight hum of the appliance could be heard. Pulling a canned drink from it, the flick of the top and a slight slurp of his drink before getting back to his knees on the floor beside the other, however somewhat more behind him this time at the point of his confession.<br/><br/>Eden's cheek, pale as porcelain pressed along Dominic's muscled shoulder. Skin contrasting greatly with that gorgeously sun-kissed caramel flesh as he did so. Affectionately staring down at the other's groin with a playful hand coyly snuck between the older male's thighs grasping it in a quite nurturing way.

Thumb jingling the tab of his zipper whilst his middle finger slowly rode up the teeth of the zipper.<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" The beast? ...Is that what we're calling it now? ..."" he'd question in a fairly teasing, but casual and somehow sweet tone.  All this time telling me to put clothes on so you don't get a little excited? ...How selfish.

Grinding his palm along the other's groin as he grew a bit more eager rising on his knees and gently pressing his own snugly held bulge along the other's back. Fingers hungerly running up the older's abs. Dominic's muscular physique admired by the digits before a single digit stroked along his throat as if to slice it, reaching out and taking the other's ramen. Placing the bowl with precision on the table before rising slightly. That slight pushing up from his knelt stance switching about. Thigh pushing the other's chest onto his back, a well excuted twist of his own body doing it before a smooth and almost enthuastic landing. Planting that smooth red denim covered bum upon the Latin male's stomach. Pulling Dominic's arm up by his prayer beads to kiss the small cross tat dangled from it. A sly, playful smile spread across his lips.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" Want to see what underwear I'm wearing now..? or should I check to see what ones you're wearing?

The boy's own chest flat along them as he leaned in as if to nearly kiss him. A bubble giggle breaking his sultry seduction's seriousness, a half smile given as he broke the other's sealed lips with a loving, hot kittenesque tongue slipping across the part of his lips. Tongue breaking  his mouth apart and feeding himself submitting into him just a bit. A timid and sweet moan into the other's mouth to encourage him as his head turned even further to the side."

"" I didn't know<em>we</em>had a name for<em>my</em>penis..."" his tone didn't sound entirely angry no rather it was in that same vein as Venus' flirty bubbly nature but his was more intense and sensual. There was no tone of playful banter to his demeanor his locked onto Eden's body transfixed by the way he moved and forced him onto his back with some simple contortion of his body. The moment their lips touched any hope of self control was completely lost. His hand already close to Venus' face due to the way it had been pulled up by the prayer beads he merely pushed his hand to the back of the blonde's head cradling it possessively with his fingers tangling themselves in his hair. Intensifying the return of his warm lips his tongue returning the affection he had felt as he let it crash along the others.<br/><br/>The suggestion of seeing him once more without anything but his undergarments was incredibly tempting the visuals he could conjure all flooding back to him. Grasping that plump rear in his strong hand he lifted him and used his own body as leverage against him pushing him up against the table they had been sitting at. A loud clatter could be heard the gesture rather sudden bordering on violent but the manner in which he kept Venus' head cradled with one hand and his ass in the other assured that he wouldn't actually injure him. His lips retreated as he took in a sharp breath his body pushed down against him to keep him pinned there his hips grinding lewdly against him as his eyes were closed. Another attempt to gather himself he was half tempted to just rip the boys clothes off and take full advantage of what his body had to offer.<br/><br/>""Eden, I don't give a damn what you're wearing. In fact I would love to see you in absolutely nothing."" Opening his eyes they were more like a cats now the pupil in slits his usual deep brown eyes a more golden color like that of when he was in his tiger form. There was a rumbling that seemed to emanate from his chest that sounded akin to purring. His hand released his ass sliding up along his thigh and to the button of his pants starting to undo them he was being deliberately slow with his movements the part of him that still was unsure not wanting to ruin their friendship not allowing him to just simply molest the man he had sworn to protect."

Each step that was taken echoed on the hard, wooden floor. The atmosphere was heavy with concentration and the faint sound of pens sliding on paper. In this quiet place, a young man sat leisurely on one of the chairs, his right hand holding a book upright so as to comfortably read it. He could not find comfort in the chair, though; he had tried a lot of positions and none of them felt like the right choice, so he had to make-do with the one that did not cause him back pains.<br/><br/>Hajime Amagi flipped a page deftly with his thumb, his eyes devouring line after line of literature. He seemed absorbed by it, as though he could be able to pass through the words and paragraphs and see something else, something that only a capable reader could see. As everyone else was working on their class projects or homework, he was just reading for pleasure. Hajime's own homework had bored him, so he decided to take a break. After all, he was in a secluded, silent room that seemed isolated from the rest of the world.<br/><br/>However, he was not reading just for the sake of it, but to delay his going back home. Hajime realized that he was only having breakfast, dinner and sleeping at his house at the moment. His father had called him several times during class to ask him if there was anything wrong or if there was something that Hajime was hiding from him. His answer always was that he was busy with college work and that that stopped him from coming back. Stretching the lie any further would just expose him and he would have to confront his father. The young man thought of living on his own, but for that he would need to work part time. He certainly did not want to work for his father...<br/><br/>He sighed, closing his eyes before rubbing the bridge of his nose. ""This is useless."" He murmured in Japanese. ""I can't focus if I keep thinking of that."""

Unlike Teaching Assistants, RAs focused primarily on academic research and not teaching or tutoring. The University recommended a well-rounded education so the library tutoring requirement was given regardless of the field of study. Each month the schedule was posted and students could get help from an RA in their field of study. Occasionally RAs also received more personal requests for advice.<br/><br/>As a graduate student in physics, Bastian normally had several students at his library hours who had questions regarding science. This evening there had only been one. A very simple equation question he answered in a few minutes. There were a couple of other students that asked questions about choosing graduate school. Otherwise, it was a quiet afternoon.<br/><br/>Bastian surveyed the library, taking in the larger room with tables and the computers on the perimeter. Along the walls were several privacy rooms. He tilted his head to the side, raising his chin. A soft, yet audible, ‘pop’ was heard as his neck aligned.<br/><br/>Looking at the clock, Bastian stood up to make his rounds. He walked through the tables of people studying and chatting. The computers had regulars playing their online games and some doing research and writing papers.<br/><br/>The rooms were mostly empty. Considering them ‘private’ was something of a misnomer. They were technically private, but this was a library after all. The wall next to the door was a floor to ceiling window. They were quiet, just not private. He walked past and noticed a familiar face looking bothered or stressed. He tapped on the window.<br/><br/>“Everything okay?” Bastian asked quietly through the glass at Hajime.<br/>"

It was not a exaggerated jump, but his back straightened and he turned around quickly to see who or what it was. It turned out to be the tall Bastian, a Sailor Scout just like him. It was odd to see him in normal clothes, or to see him outside of missions altogether. But it was not like Hajime to talk to people more than it was strictly necessary.In fact, he did not know more about Bastian than about the other Sailors. Their private lives was of no interest to him, unless they affected his in some way. If he were to really think about it, their lives really<em>did</em>affect Hajime's at that moment, but, as an expert on delaying subjects, he decided to put that back in a corner of his mind.<br/><br/>""Oh. Yes, yes. Fine."" He replied absently, as he had been forced to change the focus of his attention entirely. For a moment, he wondered about what Bastian could be doing there, but then he remembered he was at a library; it was not uncommon for people to be there, and it was not like it was a private club where only selective people could enter. But why did he knock on the glass, that he had no idea. Maybe he wanted to talk about...<em>that</em>? But then Hajime figured that, should Bastian want to talk about their work as Senshis, he would just do so.<br/><br/>The young man stood up and walked to the door halfheartedly, as though he did not really want to talk to Bastian. He did not, but then he thought that it could not really hurt to talk only about their duties. He opened the door and placed his head out in the corridor in one swift movement, and said ""Fancy seeing you here"" in English. Hajime's brain automatically switched to English whenever he saw someone that was not Japanese, and thus spoke it instinctively. It was a bit rough, but one could understand what he said."

Here they were, in their non-Sailor glory. Something told Bastian that Hajime was not being completely forthcoming with his brush off of being ‘fine.’ Bastian didn’t know too much about Sailor Uranus or his alter ego.<br/><br/>Like Pluto, Uranus carried a physical weapon – a blade. Pluto’s was an athame, a ritualistic blade used in many Wicca traditions. It was a gift from his grandmother before she died. It is said to possess the spirits of his ancestors. When Pluto wielded it, he often felt the power of the spirits. His athame wasn’t needed for his abilities. However, it did provide him with additional courage in battles.<br/><br/>Bastian motioned around absentmindedly. “I’ve got a Research Assistantship with the Physics Department,” he flicked at his nametag. “In addition to our labs, we get assigned office hours in the library once a month.” He looked back over his shoulder to see if anyone wanted his attention.<br/><br/>“Studying up for a project or exam?” Bastian asked, recognizing Hajime’s dodging of the earlier question.<br/>"

Hajime would have sworn that he was an English one. Not for any particular reason; it was more of a hunch that was proven wrong. But that was neither here nor there. What mattered was that Bastian was there, inquiring about his studies as though he cared about him. Hajime held the book he was reading at shoulder-level. Bastian was taller than him, at least a head taller, so he had to bend his neck to look at him. ""I was just reading. I can't concentrate anywhere else."" He revealed, his tone even and carefully measured, not wanting to sound too interested or too bored, or give any unnecessary details. He said just what the other needed to know.<br/><br/>Hajime looked at Bastian, expecting that he would leave so he could go back to his book. ""Is there anything else you need of me?""

By foot, he made his way downtown, walking fast, faces passed as he was home bound. Tokyo definitely seemed to be the New York of Japan as the city was always bustling. At least today the city could seemingly rest easy as there had not been any sign of the Dark Kingdom's activity. That concerned Trent of course. As many games he's played, as many novels he's read and the movies he's seen, he was genre saavy enough to know that if the enemy was no where to be seen, they were definitely planning something diabolical. No matter really. Over the past three months, he and his team have had done a fair job of driving off youmas. An evening of rest was well deserved. Still, a small part of him sort of wished that the Dark Kingdom would attack. At least he would be in the company of his allies once more. He pondered on their whereabouts. Eden. Jacob. Ryder. Well, he knew that they at least had social lives outside of Sailor business...if only Trent himself would get one.<br/><br/>His mouth fell open to release of soft yawn, followed by a hum as his mind pondered just exactly what he would be doing for dinner that evening. His eyes peered up through the glasses framed over them to notice the sky greying. That faint scent lingering in the air of on an oncoming shower. He reached into his jeans and tugged out his phone, the pad of his finger sliding over the screen to click the weather app on the device. It displayed that there would be rain--a storm coming that night.So perhaps take out and then curling up for a movie night would be a solid plan before bedtime.<br/><br/>Scratch the take-out. The young man suddenly had a craving for a burger and his favorite burger joint just happened to have an enjoyable sit down atmosphere to dine in. Following a short train ride to the Shibuya district, Trent ascended the steps up from the subway and traveled a few more blocks by foot until he had arrived at The Great Burger (http://www.the-great-burger.com/news/017_1.JPG). He walked inside, nodding to one of the servers who smiled back with a wave. They knew that he was now a regular there; had been for the last couple years he and his mother lived in Tokyo. With a slump of his shoulder, his bag slipped onto the seat of the booth he plopped himself down in.<br/><br/>"

No, that was too cheesy of an excuse to just pick some guy with a single call for him to make out with in an alley and a bit of dry-humping before some cats in the alley ruined it all. Or at least that was what his...oddly specific thought process was. Having just walked out, holding a rather large strawberry milkshake in his right hand. The boy's left hand holding an iPhone6 in gold. Eyes scanning over a recent text, as he made his way to one of the rather cute and small tables. Lips pouting to the side after taking a drink. The boy's legs crossing. The college student cocking his head to the side, his legs snug in a pair of skintight white pants. A fair, faded orange in color tank-top exposed underneath his snug jacket. The white fabric with powdery-blue  stripes going around his. The hoodie fitted along his body like a second skin, showing off that lean frame. The thin material making it decent enough for this sort of weather.<br/><br/>The off-duty Sailor scout's jacket sleeves rolled up, exposing his arms and a rather nice hand-crafted bracelet (https://img1.etsystatic.com/026/0/8546511/il_170x135.542858531_smqk.jpg) with blue bands that matched the stripes on his jacket and gold winglets coming out of a round bead. Humming as he lightly nibbled on the straw now and again while on his phone texting. A poor habit, but it was a habit. Not something he completely noticed or paid attention to. Those large, frosty Bambi-like eyes glittering with reflections of his phone's screen before he'd momentarily glance up. those blue hues bright and vivid as they just barely widened.<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" Mercury? ""</em></span>he'd mouth  through his straw in a curious manner  waving his free hand as he rested his phone on the table. However, having not been noticed. The Great Burger restaurant across the street from the way the boy had been looking to the left of the cafe? Giving a confused look as he cocked his head to the side , he was getting  a bit hungry himself. However, he knew he should be eating better and working out to keep up with being a scout and such.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" Oh, Mercury... what a bad influence you are. ""</em></span>he'd add to his whisper, blaming it on the other already as an excuse to stuff his face. Slurping at his still nearly full milkshake as he crossed the street and followed the other with a slight casuality to his cool step. Running his fingers through his messy fringe. The sides of his hair having been trimmed a noticable amount shorter from a recent trimming. Flipping that breezy tousled set of locks in the front to the side. Lips parting with a disamused sigh before a fair smile tugged at the right side of his lips. A sealed chuckle under his breath through his nearly fully sealed lips as he crossed the street after rising up from his seat. He'd push the door open and glance about before his eyes went directly to a booth with a certain nerdy-chic looking boy. Somehow managing to make it with his knee pressing into the booth's other side without the other noticing.<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" What are you going to buy me for dinner?

The tall, muscular figure with clearly American features was somewhat of an unusual sight in Tokyo, to those not used to him. The large grin on his face has likely not helped that impression, outwardly showing joy no longer seemingly in Vogue. At first curious or wary about him, over the weeks he's walked these streets he's become a familiar passerby to the merchants, restaurants and locals. Known to be friendly, and always willing to lend a hand; even if his Japanese is more than a bit rough. His hands behind his head as he moves through the hustle and bustle of the city, he can't help but grin at anyone that meets his eyes. Almost the quintessential American, he's wearing faded, scuffed jeans that were once navy blue.. now more grey. Many would consider them tighter than they aught to be, but there is no denying they outline his musculature well; or the fact he has obviously kept fit in his time since being honorably discharged from the Marine Corps. Dog tags clink and shift as he walks, hanging down over a white tank top. The only other objects of note he wears are a worn black leather jacket, and a pair of combat boots.<br/><br/>At the moment it is 8 pm, and he is trying to decide on dinner. As much as he has fallen in love with Japanese culture, the food tends to be hit or miss in his mind. The sushi, particularly. He unconsciously makes a face at the mere thought of it, before shaking his head. Knowing there to be various cafes and restaurants along this street, his blue eyes flick back and forth, scanning the many buildings tightly packed next to one another. Inhaling, he can't help the way his grin widens as the completely unique smell of food, people and city wafts his way. Part of him wants to keep walking, exploring the back alleys and stores around the special ward. There is always something new to see, something exciting around every corner. Growing up in a rural backwater part of America, city life will never get old to his eyes. Feeling his stomach rumbling loud enough that a couple of pedestrians look at him askance, he laughs sheepishly and drops his hands to his sides.<em>'Explore later, food now.' </em>He thinks to himself.<br/><br/>Paying more attention to the restaurant names, he shakes his head at each as he mentally translates the Japanese characters.<em>'Sushi? Blech. Ramen? Eh. Burgers? Bingo.'</em>Nostalgia rises as he salivates at the thought of a thick, juicy burger completely smothered in ketchup.<em> '..Hopefully an actual burger, and not one of those weird kuro things. I love this city, but they have some strange ideas about American food.'</em>Moving to the window, he glances inside to get a look at what they offer.<em>'Damn that looks good. The Great Burger, huh?'</em>Sniffing, the smell of beef cooking decides it for him. Scanning the room, he pauses and his eyes light up when he notices Mercury and Venus sitting in a booth, chatting.<em>'They look like they stepped out of a fashion magazine.'</em>Snickering to himself, he tugs on the door and steps in. Walking up to the two, he crosses his arms and leans against the booth casually. ""Well aren't you two lovely gentlemen a sight for sore eyes."" He says with a smile. ""You two a private party, or can anyone join?"" His tone is warm, even as he waggles his eyebrows in jest at the 'private party' comment, laced with innuendo."

No matter where in the world, if there was enough money and people, then humans would gather together and pour as much lights, music and booze into an area and set up shop. Not that he was complaining, there was something thrilling about being among the crush of humans, feeling the bass pulse steadily and unfailingly into his system. It might have been the various use of lights, but his eyes seemed to glitter in sheer pleasure as he took in the sight. For all their supposed propiety and civilization, when they got together like this it was positively primeval, humans might decorate it with high tech effects and triple or sixfold distilled liquors, but it was a clear throwback to the days of ecstatic dancing around fires to the deep beat of drums and imbibing intoxicating herbs.<br/><br/>That much he could appreciate.<br/><br/>For him his duty brought him to places like this now and then as it did now, he was to be here to see what it was all about and speak with the owners of the place. There was apparently a big event in a couple of weekends and they wanted a bit of extra security, his companies reputation had preceded him and he was being treated to a night of energy and free drinks, which was something he wasn't going to argue with. Even the most faithful and devoted of warriors needed to unwind and this was a perfect opportunity to do it, especially since this kind of place would prove perfect for what he was up to, so a bit of R&R would be perfect for him. Didn't hurt that he had an utter weakness for being surrounded by the crush of living bodies, all of them alive, bright, eager to please and caught up in the moment. It was a state he envied and rarely found, but he could certainly enjoy taking advantage of it and maybe having a bit of fun himself.<br/><br/>His large hand wound around the glass next to him as he gazed around, wonder and pleasure easily found in his expression as he took it all in. The booze was good and it would take a hell of a lot to get him feeling even remotely buzzed, even if the bartender had looked wary and amused when he'd ordered the tall glass of nothing but liquor. It was good, for what it cost it damn well better be good, but that's what happened when you took the expensive route for alcohol, that and the expensive stuff always hit harder once it hit. He was going to enjoy his night out and about, maybe find himself a warm body or two and drink up some of this energy and pleasure."

From a quick glance around, it seemed that everyone in the restaurant that evening had some company. He didn't want to look like a complete loner and loser so  taking out his computer in an attempt to look too busy to have company seemed like a proper idea. Just as he powered up the machine, he was approached and a very familiar voice reached his ears.<br/><br/>He glanced forward at the figure now before him. By this time, Trent wondered if the Gaussian blur that he always saw around Eden was actually in effect from being the Sailor Guardian of Beauty or maybe it was just his mind placing in it's own photoshop filter to accompany just how angelic the boy looked.  ""Buy you dinner? I wasn't aware I had a date scheduled for tonight."" Trent responded with a soft chuckle, followed by a warm smile. What were the odds that one of the very people he had on his mind would actually show up in the same place to dine.<br/><br/>Correction,<em>two</em>of the same people. Not long after being blessed with the presence of Venus, Jacob approached the two younger boys. As soon as Trent's eyes fell upon Jacob, giving the older male a nod and grin. Though with that waggle of Jacob's brow,  the water senshi slumped in his seat , hiding his face behind his Mac screen praying that the glare from it would mask his reddening cheeks.  ""No-OOo"" his voice cracked into a high pitch causing him to flinch in just how much of a fool he seemed to come off as at the moment.<em>""Stay cool, blue. Cool blue. Cool blue....""</em>. He chanted to himself before clearing his throat.  ""Not just anyone. But I extend an invitation to a stud like you."" The water senshi then made the gesture of turning to his side and trying to lean back on his elbow upon the table. Unfortunately, his elbow completely missed, sending the boy to fall on his back within the booth, shaking the table and causing a rattle of silverware and condiment glass bottles to echo throughout the dining room. Although he could only see the ceiling through the glasses which now laid crooked on his face, he could feel the eyes of the other diners looking in his direction which caused him to let loose an exasperated breath.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(http://i.imgur.com/Hsi3Q2k.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Malachi, Dark Prince of Passion & Beauty<br/><strong>Alias:</strong>Luca Castillo<br/><strong>Where:</strong>ageHa<br/><strong>Time:</strong>April 7th,  11ish pm<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>In Picture<br/><strong>Muse Inspiration</strong>: Fancy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0yOzQjYSmQ).<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Abaddon, Open<br/><hr/><br/>Not every waking moment of Malachi's life was dedicated to the Dark Kingdom's cause. The blonde did enjoy his down time from draining the energy and life out of humans in order to feed his 'master'. Truth be told, he had grown quite accustomed to the civilian life he had built for himself on Earth. To have countless adoring fans dedicating their love to him at the top of their lungs when they hardly knew him. They just fawned on how gorgeous he was and the nice voice he happened to had been blessed with. They knew not of Malachi, one of the four princes of the Dark Kingdom. Only of Luca Castillo; the latest heart-throb to soak the undergarments of women and cramp the under garments of men all around the globe. Though for some reason, the Japanese really seemed to adore him.<br/><br/>Tonight he would do his usual socialite appearance at one of the finest clubs in Tokyo. As he entered, he had his posse behind him, along with security on guard to keep away the fans that were a bit too crazy and wanted to get their hands on him; and not in the good way. A path was cleared as the club's occupants parted for him like the Red Sea for Moses. His lips were tugged into a coy little smirk as his bodyguards led him towards the VIP lounge. Though as they passed the bar, Malachi had to do a double take as he spotted a figure sitting there. A rather large figure and there were very few individuals that he knew of who had that wide of a build.<br/><br/>An empty seat beside the Dark Prince of Destruction would soon be taken. Small specks of black light had begun to dance in the space next to him, slowly forming into a more humanoid shape and seconds later, Malachi was seated next to his fellow prince. The Bartender only had his back turned for a moment and found himself startled by Malachi's sudden appearance. The Prince of Passion, winked to the man and placed in an order for his drink before turning to Abaddon.   ""Honestly, this was the last place in Tokyo I though I would see you.""

Some it sounded like mostly a lot of rapid talking with some beats thrown in the end and he wondered about that one, apparently he was a bit more disconnected from the world than he had originally thought. Apparently he wasn't frequenting the right places, or perhaps he had just wondered into the right place at the right time in this case, or the reverse. Who in all the hells knew, humans were strange if fascinating creatures.<br/><br/>His amusement and musings were interrupted by the sudden prickle at the back of his mind and his eyes flickered over to the seat next to him and watched the energy coalesce in the empty space there. The click of his tongue easily lost in the sounds around him was the only indication he gave that showed his annoyance at being intruded upon. It was rare that he got away from his 'brothers' for an extended period of time, he should have known better than to think that he might actually go through a night he was beginning to enjoy without someone showing up somewhere.<br/><br/>Brow raising as Malachi appeared with a quip in hand, ""honestly, we're supposed to be playing it quiet, you should worry more about someone seeing you and less about what I may or may not break.

Amused, he bites back a laugh at the crack in Trent's voice but mercifully doesn't comment. He doesn't bother to stop his grin from widening however, or the slight wince as the other Sailor falls backwards.<em>'Graceful..' </em>He thinks, grin softening into a genuine smile. Glancing over the table at the fallen Mercury, he quirks an eyebrow and holds out his hand, offering to pull the other male back up. Pausing for a moment, his smile turns wicked. ""You know.."" He begins, tone musing. ""I might have thought about you on your back, but this isn't quite what I had in mind."" Sticking his tongue out he huffs out a laugh, showing that he's joking. Looking around the cafe he frowns at any diner paying too much attention to them, forcing them to rapidly go back to their meals. Being 6'5"" has its advantages, especially in Japan. He is protective of his friends until the end.. unless he's the one doing the teasing, at least.<br/><br/>Sliding into the booth once Trent has gotten back up, he picks up a menu with one hand and casually tosses his other arm around the back of the booth. Glancing through it, he looks to both Mercury and Venus. ""What's good here? Last time I got convinced to try a burger in Tokyo it had spaghetti on it and some sort of weird black bun. I am not looking forward to repeating the experience."" His face goes vaguely nauseated before clearing. Humming to himself as he scans through the menu, he tries to find something that sounds relatively safe. He pauses after a moment before quirking his eyebrows back up at Trent, smirking. ""So I'm a stud, huh?"" He states more than asks. ""Good to know."" Catching sight of the waitress coming, he orders a C.C. Lemon before asking to have a moment to decide on his food, turning to glance at Trent and Eden to see if they know what they want.<br/><br/>After she leaves Jacob leans back, settling more comfortably into the booth as he smiles at both Mercury and Venus. Peering at the macbook, he tilts his head curiously. ""Working on anything of interest?"" He asks. ""Or playing one of your, ah.. 'MMORPGs'?"" His tone isn't mocking, merely inquisitive as he spells out the unfamiliar term. ""I got that right, didn't I?"" His eyes go up to the ceiling as he scratches at his stubble, trying to remember before he shrugs, assuming Trent knows what he means. ""Preferably without any gaming jargon."" He adds, laughing. ""I get lost enough as it is."""

Honestly, didn't the humans have some quip about stones and sin? Eh, whatever it was, he knew full well it applied to this situation and something about a pot and a kettle or something like that. Humans had a lot of different sayings, most of which seemed really bizarre until you actually applied them to something, then they made sense. Maybe humans in general worked like that, seeming insane but at least an insane that made sense when you bent your mind a certain way.<br/><br/>Grunting at the correction, he shrugged, ""I'm surprised it's so simple rather than something with flair and...something drawn out and whimsical."" Something vain and egotistical that the other man could feel smug about correcting another person's poor pronunciation over.<br/><br/>""My 'presence' here isn't 'out of place here,' it's out of place for you to see me here, little else,"" he eyed the other man carefully, ""just because you've never seen me in such a place or would think I wouldn't come to this sort of place doesn't mean I don't."" There was also a quip about someone knowing as much as could fit in a thimble about something, another one that was appropriate here. His gaze shifted away when the man started on his dialogue about the men in here, face stone to prevent the grimace of distaste from crossing his face. Damien enjoyed the pleasures of the flesh as much as Malachi, perhaps more if truth be told, but he had at least had the...taste to at least be less crude about it.<br/><br/>""I have been enjoying myself, yes,"" he answered neutrally, he wasn't going to discuss this with Malachi and he was annoyed that he had even bothered to come to a popular place like this in the first place. Initially it had been for work, but the draw of having a bit of fun had enticed him and now he had Malachi spouting off vulgarities and looking as smug as if he owned every square inch of the place and could behave as he pleased. Somehow he didn't think he was going to be getting the relaxing night he had been aiming for, but it would be unduly impolite to simply leave the club now. There were times that he was annoyed by his own code that he strictly abided by, but life was never fair and rarely pretty.<br/><br/>""I would have thought you'd be off entertaining rather than bothering with the likes of me,"" he commented lightly, might as well converse if he was going to be stuck here for the moment.<br/><br/>"

Though a few moments to think on it, the boy's face reddened even more, closing his eyes as it finally dawned on him what Jacob meant. Having actual companions was a new thing for Trent. The world of sex was very alien to him. He'd never even had a real kiss...at least, not in this life time. Ever since he had been dragged into this business involving the Dark Kingdom, he had a tendency to have some odd dreams. A series of bizarre dreams. Some of which involved fire and the scenery around him crumbling. It was always difficult to picture the location...it seemed similar to a castle he would find in one of his games and then the other dreams were less nightmarish and actually involved the warm feeling of a larger figure's embrace. Like the nightmare of the castle on fire, he could never quite make up the facial features of who the other figure was.<br/><br/>""Thanks."" He nodded to Jacob, taking a hold of the large hand that was extended to him and pulled himself upright once more before scooting over to make room. ""Honestly? Everything is good here. They have some oddities like the Teriyaki Egg burger but over all, it's just like the diners and sandwich shops in America. My personal favorite is the Tripple Cheeseburger with cheese and bacon. So good."" Trent may have had a swimmer's build but he could sure eat as if he was Quarterback for the NFL. ""And they have Veggie Burgers if certain Guardians of Love and Beauty are trying to watch their figures. Wouldn't want the paparazzi to snap a photo and then label you as a porker."" Trent winked to Eden. He was joking of course. After spending the last three months risking his neck to battle evil with these guys, he felt comfortable enough to relax and show his more laid back side that others would never see.<br/><br/>""You're right. MMORPG."" He smiled over to Jacob and looked to the screen of his Macbook. """"But no, I'm not gaming. I was just going to do some research on  Behavioral Economics and Experimental Economics. Nothing you two would probably be interested in.""

He simply smiled and left it at that. There was no need for him to elaborate on how much he adored attention and the eyes of others on himself. Malachi was as much known for his vanity just as Abaddon was known for his brute strength. He did have a hearty laugh at the other prince's quip about him having chosen something simple rather than a regal mouthful. ""Here on this planet, I am an idol. I needed to keep it short and simple. Easier for my adoring fans to chant.""<br/><br/>""Really shouldn't consider my presence a bother. The fact that I am even giving you my attention is an honor in of itself."" He responded in a casual tone before taking another sip of his drink. At least it had been the truth. Malachi hardly gave anyone acknowledgement he didn't at least considered respectable. That was indeed the reason why the blonde haired Dark Prince hardly took the time to acknowledge one of their other 'brothers'. Though between the three other Dark Princes, it was pretty much a uniform opinion that Malice was not popular with them. There were some other opinions Malachi held for the other Dark Prince--the one who tried to crown himself the leader and above them, but he was here for fun and he wouldn't have fun thinking of someone he'd rather seen nailed to a crucifix and gutted from sternum to groin.<br/><br/>""That being said, I don't think there's not an issue with me entertaining you. Who says it always has to be about 'work' between us? No harm in having a drink with one another, no?"" He grinned widely, flashing off a perfect set of pearly white teeth."

A certain charm to his ways. Eyes slowly retreating with a sharp glance to the side. A flirtiness as he continued to drink his milkshake.  Pearly whites giving a gentle graze across the smooth and pouty pink lower lip of his in approval whilst those vibrant eyes scanned up and down their scout team's muscle. A breathless, admiring nearly drool worthy laugh under his breath offered as he stared in awe.<br/><br/>A certain teen unable to help himself and not asking permission as he went unnoticed. Letting the two continue their little back and forth whilst his own hand helplessly crept down the leaning 6'5"" tower of a man's broad chest. Dainty digits trinkeling down the strong muscle with a greedy, lust driven amusement. Though he was ignored through out the entire act. Fingers running down his abs, molesting the other's torso through the thin and appealing fabric of his tank-top that did little to hide his masculine assets. The Sailor Scout gently pressing his knuckles along Jacob's abs along the side, playfully punching his side with short baby-ish playful jabs.<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">"" What the hell are you, bulletproof..?

""</em></span>he'd question, still getting no answer, though not truthfully expecting any response at this point.<br/><br/>The ditzy blonde unaware of what was even going on in the conversation leaned down, pulling a small marble sized bouncy ball and  bouncing it off the other's abs childishly in an almost cartoonish event.<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">"" ...This is kind of fun.. ""</span></em>he'd add in a raspy, boyish tone as if surprised by his own brilliance.  He'd glance up towards the two of them the moment food was being mentioned and he heard something about watching his figure and Jacob was now next to Mercury and seated.<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" What's going on now? ""</em></span>he'd ask, completely oblivious to the conversation that was being held as he held the oversized extra-large strawberry milkshake closer to his face and gave a long awkward staring drink while not breaking eye contact with Trent for a good fifteen seconds or so. Parting his lips and tracing his tongue across them shortly after, darting his eyes between the two and finally looking towards the menu.<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> "" A spicy chicken - cheddar bacon burger sounds... promising.

Seeming to struggle ordering perhaps a little more than making a battle decision."

""Triple Cheeseburger huh? I'll try that then. I haven't known you to have bad taste before, after all."" He adds with a light smirk, playfully flirting.

Briefly imagining a monster asking Venus if he's gained weight before being stomped into the dirt has him breaking out into a light laugh.<br/><br/>Figuring he might as well get more comfortable, he shrugs out of his leather jacket and sets it along the back of the booth. Now left in just his tank top and jeans, his arms and chest are practically on display as he stretches widely before sighing happily. Truthfully he's just enjoying his time spent with the other Sailors. Head tilting at Mercury's response, his tone is quizzical as he tries to find a polite way to put it. ""Behavioral Economics? Sounds.. ah, fascinating?"" Deciding he's not the tactful type, he continues with a ""Well no, sounds dry as hell. Better you than me."" He adds with a smirk. ""Here I expected you to be working on saving a Princess or something.""<br/><br/>Spotting the waitress coming back with his drink, he gives her a megawatt smile. Picking up his menu and ignoring the blush that crosses her face, he gives her his order as he reads aloud from the text. ""Triple Cheeseburger with cheese and bacon, please. Make that extra bacon."" He adds, after a moment.<em>'I'll have to work out more later, but come on. Bacon.'</em>He thinks, grinning. ""Just regular fries for me, nothing fancy.""

His attempt to stay late meant he missed out on anything except the dregs from the dining commons. The bus that took him across towards his dorms passed by the restaurant, and he decided to drop off to get something to eat. The spring weather was chill enough that Cody's athletic form was swimming in a blue sweater with a thick collar.<br/><br/>He got off the bus and pushed the door open with the back of his shoulders, taking a little pivot on one foot to turn his body back into the restaurant. A tablet was in front of him, and had 90% of his attention. He looked up once he stepped into the restaurant to get an idea once he confirmed that he was to be seated instead of taking a seat on his own. His eyes turned back down to the tablet, one finger sliding across to flip through pages of a digital copy of one of his text books. He apparently didn't look up enough, as in his efforts to move towards the podium to wait for a hostess, he bumped directly into the back of a larger man.<br/><br/>The misstep might have been easy to overlook, as if Cody's messenger bag didn't drop off his shoulder in his motion to make sure he didn't drop his tablet. The tablet was saved but the heavy weight of the books in the bag hit the ground. Cody worked quickly to get the bag over his shoulder, looking sheepish about the entire thing. He offered a nervous smile up to the other man who turned around looking as if that bump was intentionally or part of some greater attack. Cody was working quickly to offer a sincere apology; willing to admit that the collision happened due to his own distraction. The other man was less than happy with verbal penance, and the stranger getting aggressive and into Cody's face was sudden enough to be disarming.

Apparently when a monster attacked, civilians rather take photos of the heroes in action rather than take cover.<br/><br/>What Trent failed to remember that the most recent reblogged post had been ass shots of Sailor V's team.

Looking back and forth at the two as he gently nibbled his straw as they continued their banter. Seeming to be happy that the subject was moving away from the teasing on his love for his appearance. That bubbliness still in his cheeks. Only growing excited once he had seen the other getting onto Tumblr and looking through the pictures. Leaning in over the table to get a closer view.<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> "" Did you read their fanfictions of us? ""</span></em>he'd chime in. Making it obvious that he had, cocking his head to the side wondering if  their beloved Mercury had seen any of the obvious smut. Curious as to if the other had seen even the slightest tidbit. Venus had no shame in admitting he wanted to read whatever was out there about himself if it appeared interesting. A teasing, sensual stare down into the Aqua-powered scout's eyes as he rested his own face into his dainty fingered palm. Allowing a side-glance as he watched everything the other scrolled through.

Not unintelligent by any means, if he considers something uninteresting or particularly dry however, he has a habit of poking fun at it. Not maliciously, he simply has an irreverent sense of humor.<br/><br/>Glancing around the room, he keeps an eye on the goings on of the random passerby. One never knows when they'll be called to duty, and after his tours in the Marines it's more of an idle habit now than anything. His eyes casually scan the room, a slow repeated motion as he watches the exits and entrances. One ear out for conversation he needs to participate in, he tilts his head at the word 'fanfiction'. Tuning back in, he glances over at Mercury's macbook. Blinking at the close up pictures of their individual assets, he resists the urge to laugh and grins at Trent. ""Something you want to tell us, Mercury?"" Leaning forward so that his side is pressed against the other Sailor, he hums as he looks at the photos. ""At least they captured my good side.."" Remembering the comment that originally brought his attention, his eyes flick to Eden. ""Fanfiction? Is that what I think it is? ..Come to think of it, I think I've heard of that. Something about.. hm, what was it."" His gaze goes to the side as he tries to think of the exact wording. ""Jupiter slash Mercury slash Venus? And.. OT3s? Whatever those are."" Shrugging, he looks between the two other Sailors to see if they can translate. Grinning somewhat sheepishly, Jacob would be the first to admit that sort of thing is not his strong point.<br/><br/>A few minutes later as the conversation continues, constant banter and teasing back and forth, his head goes up as he hears the 'thump' of something falling. Looking around the room, he spots the beginning of potential drama and tenses lightly. Seeing the argument begin to escalate, with the larger man apparently not willing to take the apology of the smaller, he grimaces. Evaluating the scene, he comes to the quick conclusion that the shorter one likely bumped into the other.<em>'Still, no need to be so rude about it..'</em>Deciding to get involved as the larger one reaches out to push the smaller, he stands. Giving a smile to Venus and Mercury, he leaves with a quick, ""Be right back."" Walking over to the pair, he crosses his arms and clears his throat. Despite the upset man's size and musculature, Jacob is still several inches taller and quite intimidating in his own right. ""Here now, what seems to be the problem? It was just an accident after all, and he already apologized. No sense in getting upset about it, hm?"" He tosses a wink at the smaller guy, grinning."

He had already accepted blame and made his apology, but the other man wasn't hearing it. Cody didn't have a lot of experience dealing with that sort of confrontation. He was expecting his Scout experience to help in some way, but a fight for your life against a Corrupted was different than dealing with some random jerk. How quickly the whole thing escalated, and Cody's introspection on how to act, just kept his head spinning. When the other guy reached out to push at Cody's shoulder, he stumbled back a step taken off guard enough to make no effort to actually prevent the attack.<br/><br/>His hands came up defensively again, face going flush from what looked like embarrassment that the altercation was even happening. He glanced over as Jacob got involved and started talking, but he didn't hear what the larger man said at first. Cody's heart was already beating in his throat, and the larger, attractive man suddenly getting involved just kept his head spinning. Jacob seemed to easily take control and keep control of the situation, and Cody felt sheepish that he wasn't able to do so. He was a Scout now; something as simply as a rude patron shouldn't be so disarming. The little wink got a sharp exhale that turned into a nervous laugh, the younger boy looking back and forth between the pair.<br/><br/>The rude man didn't have to think twice to know that picking a fight with Jacob involved as a bad idea. When the hostess finally came by to see him to his table, he took the exit, scoffing and heading off as if there was anything to 'win' in the engagement. Once the man was facing away and taking a step away, Cody turned to look up at Jacob again. He didn't want to admit that he had just been 'saved,' but even though it was unlikely the man would have started throwing punches, Jacob still did remove an uncomfortable situation. Cody smiled up to Jacob, rolling his shoulder to adjust the bag hanging off it. He brought a hand up, brushing his own hair out of his face, ""Thanks..."" He considered affirming that he could have handled it, but it seemed unnecessary. He wrinkled his nose before that smile grew larger and more true, the younger boy offering a hand out, ""I'm Cody. Sorry you had to... Well, I appreciate it. Are you eating here?"" The question seemed stupid once he said it, but he realized he didn't even see where the giant man had come from originally. Cody gave a glance around, trying to find a party Jacob was with."

Such a mission triggered a sense of familiarity in his mind. A foggy haze that kept distant memories from becoming clear and forefront. Instead he just looked at Jacob and smiled to the other man with that warm feeling in the pit of his stomach. Soon it ceased to exist though once he felt his stomach dropping at the mention of 'fanfiction' from Eden regarding their alter egos. Trent knew exactly what kind of Fanfiction the platinum blonde was referencing and it caused the nerd to shift uncomfortably in his seat. He just wanted to faceplant into table when Jacob named off the terms regarding the pairings and threesomes. ""No. I...don't really read that stuff."" At least he wouldn't openly admit to one particular chapter he had glanced on that featured Mercury being plowed by Jupiter while tossing Venus' salad. People had such vivid imaginations.<br/><br/>""Nothing about the other Sailor Guardians other than pictures. This is a blog dedicated to our team."" Trent responded proudly as he scrolled down the page to view some action shots of the four attacking a youma. When Jacob left his side, his eyes remained on the man, traveling in the direction he moved. To help some other kid and it may have been the first time Trent actually released a little sigh of admiration. ""He's so noble....strong and yet still kind. And out of my league..."" he spoke mainly to himself, realizing that he had probably spoken aloud enough for Eden to actually hear.

He knew the games and he know the battle of wits that the others liked to engage in, he personally found both distasteful especially since the latter was never more than a reason to show their respective superiority over the others. Only his annoyance at being intruded upon was keeping him even remotely part of the game at the moment. Honestly, he shouldn't even be annoyed, it should have been expected all things considered.<br/><br/>""Not everyone can be built like a tank,"" his tone still dry, but amused nevertheless. The man's vanity was legendary and everyone knew the rumors about the expulsion of the less than attractive people within Malachi's realm. Personally, Abaddon was only choosy about looks when it came to looks and then even a certain feature, physical or personality wise, was sometimes still enough to spare Abaddon passing them by. Within his own kingdom, it was weakness that he couldn't abide, though waste was worse. The weak were put to menial jobs, 'bitch work' the mortals called it. Their weakness punished, but their utility never lost, perfect. ""Though the gap is quite noticeable, I'll give you that much.""<br/><br/>""My ability to throw cars isn't what keeps me from getting drunk,"" he smirked, it was partially his size, but it was also due to the fire that burned through his system at all times. It burned through it at such an incredible rate that only vast quantities of alcohol or incredibly potent alcohols could really affect him, and if he did, by some miracle, get drunk, it didn't last long. Hangovers were unknown to him too, and other peoples sickness from alcohol amused him. ""Though I'm sure if I were drunk enough, I might actually start tossing cars, could be fun. Completely ruins the idea of being subtle, but at least it would be amusing."""

""Some people, huh?"" He says. Relaxing now that the drama is apparently resolved, he runs a hand through his hair. Glancing down at the shorter man, Jacob realizes he's probably a good ten inches taller than Cody. He shakes his head, amused but unsurprised at this point.<em>'It's a good thing I'm into shorter guys.. And what is it with them all dressing like fashion models? What's wrong with a rough pair of jeans and a t-shirt? Hmph.'</em>He laments to himself for a moment, before blinking away the thought and smiling back at the other. ""No problem. I'm sure you can take care of yourself, but what can I say. I enjoy coming to the rescue of cute guys in distress."" He adds with an infectious laugh, grin widening. Shaking Cody's hand, he gives it a solid squeeze before letting go. ""My name is Jacob. Good to meet you, Cody."" He tosses his head in the direction of his party, Trent and Eden both sitting at the booth on the other side of the restaurant. ""Yeah, I'm eating here. I'm told they have decent burgers, at least. I'm with a couple of friends of mine. What about you, eating alone?"" Figuring at this point they should probably stop blocking the pathway, he begins to walk back towards his table.<br/><br/>Folding his hands behind his head in what would become his trademark casual stance as he walks, he turns to glance down at Cody with a quirked eyebrow.<em>'Should I? Ah what the hell, it's just one meal. Nothing says we'll ever see him again.'</em>Pausing for a moment, he shrugs and extends the invitation. ""You're welcome to join us, if you like. I can't imagine my friends will mind much. It's always good to meet new people."" Oddly, he genuinely means it. Jacob has always loved being around people, and growing up in a large family and then the Marines means he's unused to being alone or sitting in quiet. ""Eating alone is boring, anyways. Unless you had plans? I don't want to take you away from your party, after all."" Arriving back at his table, he tilts his head at the newbie. ""So what about it? Join us?"" He asks, one hand on the back of the booth. Nodding at Trent and Eden, he figures if nothing else he should introduce everyone. ""Trent, Eden, this adorable guy is Cody. Cody, the lovely angelic one there is Eden, and the gorgeous one that looks like he stepped out of Vogue is Trent."" He says, waving an arm back and forth as he points to people when he speaks their name. His tone of voice is warm but matter of fact, being perfectly blunt as he sees it. After all, he knows very well his friends are attractive, and if nothing else he's always been extremely free with his thoughts. A lack of any social tact whatsoever tends to help with that.<br/><br/>Spotting the waitress coming with their food, he grins widely and slides into the booth, pressing his side back up against Trent unconsciously as he moves things around on the table to make room. After a moment he glances back at Cody, an unasked question visible in his expression. Assuming at this point, Cody will either join them or make his excuses and wander off; either way, he did what he had intended to by stopping the fight. ""So what were we talking about? Fanfiction, right?""  Jacob asks as he turns back to his companions.<br/><br/>"

He didn't offer any real verbal response to Jacob's comment on society, leaving there a pause where they were both thinking about the other without speaking out loud. Cody bit his own lip, the feeling that he<em>should</em>say something to let the man go building with each beat of his quickened heart. He gave the larger hand as good of a squeeze as he could, his eyes darting down and savoring the sight of the difference in size. He gave a shake before withdrawing his hand, nodding, ""It's nice to meet you too.""<br/><br/>Cody chuckled nervously at the question; there was a stigma with admitting that he was eating alone. He was really just trying to combine studying with that biological requirement of eating, but wasn't sure why he was having a hard time admitting it. He raised up his tablet as if it explained everything before giving another smile, ""I uh, yeah."" When the offer to join Jacob came, he looked up with a bit of shock in his face. He had only asked about Jacob's arrangements at the restaurant so he could cover the other boy's bill, but could see how it may have come off as a leading comment, ""Oh! I wasn't... I wouldn't want to intrude."" The rationalization and the additional offer made Cody eventually give in and follow Jacob to the booth.<br/><br/>Jacob's introduction got a surprised laughing note from Cody, a flush in his cheeks. As the other boys got similar introductions, Cody's flush stayed; feeling sheepish that he had hoped or read into Jacob's opinion. He gave a little bow and a smile to the new pair, the hand not holding his tablet coming up in a wave, ""It's nice to meet you all."" He watched as Jacob slid into the booth and took the offered space, sitting on the edge near Jacob. When the waitress came with the order, he look quickly at the menu and ordered: ""I'll do the bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg on top, please. And a water."" He didn't have much to add on the topic of fanfiction, but he was happy enough to listen for the moment.<br/><br/>When a lull came up, he couldn't help but notice the age difference between Eden and Trent compared to Jacob, ""So how do you all know each other?"""

Teasing his bangs a bit, fingers stroking through them once as he began trying to think of a way to explain them. It appeared that the Scout of Love had been doing some slight researching. Pouting his lips to the side. Tilting his brows and puffing his cheeks out a bit, that Guppy-like expression soon spilling a bit of air from his lips.<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" There is one thing that irks me, just because I'm short do they have to make me small all the time?

Who measured in inches or centimeters anyway anymore? He wasn't too fond of always being the bottom in pairings either, even if it was completely and honestly true that he didn't have the drive to top. Having too much of a love for attention to his back-side in every aspect.<br/><br/><br/><br/>After his little open moment about not quite liking how he was on the online endowment situation, he'd slunk back in a slouched seating. A heavy sigh spilling from his lips yet again as he slid down, seeming upset and a bit spunky about the situation. Not seeming to like the slight negative light he had been given on more than one account in those fanfictions. Eden's eyes lit up at the mention of OT3's and a specific one he knew he had seen. Those damn role-players and writers on Tumblr constantly using the Sailor Venus tag and playing as him only drove him to read each one he could that included himself. Fingers sprawling up to his mouth in delight as he smiled , holding back a bit of laughter.<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" I liked that one, Mercury Bubble Blasted everywhere as Jupiter Thundercrushed his...

A sweet potato fry hanging from his lips as he watched Jacob wander off and defend the adorable stranger. Those big, glossy blue hues seeming a bit disappointed.<br/><br/>Not because of the bullying, or even much of Jupiter leaving. It was because the poor food had to suffer and may get cold upon its abandonment. Okay, maybe the other two were part of it too.  A bit, curious and taken back by whatever was going before Jacob had it handled. Still listening to Mercury while his head was turned, spreading his lips for an onion ring as he watched.<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">"" He's like Iron Man with a nice butt..."" </span></em>he's state in an almost brainless smooth tone that was completely serious, finally pushing the ring in his mouth and reaching for more of his delicious after licking and sucking in a clean and light, cute manner from his finger and thumb. Far too entranced by the man's back-side to be too supportive he'd just hold out his sweet potato fries in their medium container with his other hand as if to offer one for comfort.<br/><br/>Eyes following the two as both came to the booth and all of the group was introduced along with Cody, the new entry. He was cuter up close even. However something was different about this one. Some very small fraction felt like the other belonged with them on some level.  A hesitant short lived smile with a bubbly giggle however followed once Jacob chimed in on the past topic to hint that it could no longer be a subject along with a minor, loving tap in the shin from the boy's foot as Cody now sat beside him. A slow and confused glance slowly drifing to the boy at his side and then back to the group.<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;"">"" Well, that... is a funny story... --- Right Trent?

Letting go as soon as he was sure their separation wasn't going to be as much of an issue he stuffed his hands in his pockets as he walked.

The nerd's mind had plummeted there and it didn't help that while Eden brought it up, Jacob did have a nice ass.<br/><br/>""Help me.""

Still, the admittance about dreaming amuses him and a smile hovers on his lips as he looks around the table. Continuing from where Trent left off but making a mental note to continue that conversation in a moment, he directs his comment at Cody. ""We met when I was stationed here, during one of my tours in the Marines. I scared off a couple of bullies from Trent here,"" He says, wrapping his arm around the other male in a sideways hug, being naturally tactile. ""and Eden came along shortly after. When I moved back to Tokyo, I looked them up. We've been friends since."" Somewhat surprisingly to those that know him, Jacob is a decent actor and a fluent liar. Knowing that he can't very well tell Cody the truth, he spins Trent's story and mixes in enough fact that it won't be difficult to remember. Still, a small part of him feels guilty.<br/><br/>As the food arrives and he drenches his fries in ketchup, he eats a few and looks over at Trent. Waiting until the other Sailor takes a bite of his burger, he brings up the earlier comment. ""What was that about dreaming? Do I show up in your dreams often, Trent?"" He all but purrs, making sure to stick to real names rather than their Sailor names in the presence of Cody. Breaking off with a laugh at the face his comment earns, he picks up his burger before pausing. ""Also.. oreos?"" He tilts his head to the side as raises both eyebrows, taking a bite of his food. ""Anything I should know?"" He asks, speaking around a bite of the burger. ""Hey.. this is pretty good."" He realizes, glancing at the burger. ""Almost as good as home."" Grinning, he dives into his food.<br/><br/>Halfway through his burger he sets it down, a comment from Eden earlier coming to the forefront of his thoughts. Never one to let a chance to tease go, he keeps half an eye on Trent as he brings the conversation back around to the smut written about the three of them. ""So Eden, before the little drama, we were talking about.. hm. What was it you said? 'Mercury Bubble Blasted everywhere as Jupiter Thundercrushed something'? Was that from a story you read? I'm curious now."" He says, face schooled into genuine interest. Tossing a glance at Cody he smiles, explaining. ""We're fans of the Sailors that have been going around recently. Fanfiction came up, and Eden was telling us about one that he liked I believe?"" He asks, looking a question at Venus."

He didn't show the same level of comfort with the crowded packed space that natives or people who took the commute daily. The tight space made him have to move in close to Noah, fitting in easily under the taller boy's bulk. He looked up at the question and smiled, ""Oh! Biology, but as part of the pre-med program. So uh... what made you pick engineering?"" Cody looked up at Noah, only occasionally glancing away to keep track of where the subway car was going and how many stops were left.<br/><br/>Cody looked over at the exit when Noah announced it. That grip to his wrist was clearly appreciated, as he turned his hand to squeeze Noah's hand in return. He was considerate in pushing through the crowd, his free hand coming up to create some distance, and apologies that nobody cared for anyway. When he was pulled from the car, he gave a deep exhale with a wide smile, clearly still seeing the whole subway experience as an 'event' instead of just a normal part of life in Tokyo. He smiled at the question and chuckled, ""Only a few months... my family lives about two hours away from here."" He glanced around the streets as they made their way to the pub, ""There's still a lot out here I haven't seen yet. Haven't strayed too much from the most effective route between classes and the dorms... What about you? Are you from around here?"""

""My father is a civil engineer that's what lead to us moving to Japan.""<br/><br/>Once they were off the subway he felt more comfortable not having to shout over the crowds. He had gotten used to traveling about Tokyo by the crowded subways but they were daunting. Chuckling slightly he shook his head ""Nah...I moved here just a few months ago transferring the college here. I only know my way around because of my job delivering packages around Tokyo, they pay a lot but they expect you to be really fast even on a scooter I can't make my routes as fast as I can on the subway.

He was starting to worry he had crossed some kind of line, or maybe the question was inconsiderate if some tragedy had brought the trio together. He stayed sitting upright, that soft smile on his face as he awkwardness of the situation itself made Cody himself feel sheepish for asking it. He wouldn't have pushed the topic after Trent's stumble through an answer, and the comments harkening back to the conversation that was happening before he showed up were raising more questions than he answered.<br/><br/>Jacob spoke up again and offered an answer he could actually grasp onto, giving a soft chuckle at how Jacob first meant Trent, ""Now I'm wondering if you're just paying people to bully guys so you can play Hero."" Any belief that Cody was serious or actually believed that statement was removed when he offered a playful squeeze to Jacob's arm. A gesture that was just supposed to be an indicator of his intent turned into admiration at the arm in his grasp. He pulled his arm and gaze away and cleared his throat a little, ""Well it's very nice to meet you all. Good thing for bullies, eh?"" He gave a short laugh, regretting his choice of words as soon as he said them.<br/><br/>Cody perked up at Jacob's explanation, cocking his head to the side and glancing out at the other two, ""Fanfiction like... stories? About the Sailor Scouts?"" He gave a short laugh, never having considered that people might consider the Scouts to be celebrities or heroes worthy of writing about. His first thoughts went more to a comic book or a novel than anything smutty. He tried to hide his excitement, not wanting to seem too attached to his own alter ego, ""Are they fiction or non-fiction? I mean... are people documenting stuff that actually happened or just... creating their own conflicts?"" His gaze turned to Eden, as he was the one who apparently showed preference for the story in question."

I mean, I'm not trying to be a downer again, I just... With our...<em>responsibilities</em>, do you think that's something you'll be able to do? I mean... I was worried about med school being too much, never mind actually being a doctor..."" Cody shrugged his shoulders, looking at the ground briefly and his hands finding his pockets. The latter part about Noah's father got a short laugh from Cody before he looked up, ""Yeah, I can follow that. My Dad's a surgeon... It was definitely a motivating factor weather I liked it or not.""<br/><br/>Cody smiled again at the topic of a job, ""I work on campus, so it hasn't done much to help me explore the city."" He nodded, ""It would be good to learn a quick way to get around town though. You know... should we need to do so."" He didn't out right say it, but he did his best to refer to them as Scouts, more as new townspeople or employees. He shook his head at the latter part, ""I don't think it's stupid. I've never been far from home, but it's natural to miss home. Just remember that missing something should be about remembering the good times, not lamenting being somewhere else!""<br/><br/>He followed Noah to the pub, catching sight of Hajime and giving a wave in his direction. He made sure Noah caught sight of him before heading over, a smile on his face. He gave a short waist bow to the other teammate, ""Hey! Glad to see you could come out.""

The only thing he knew about them is that they attended the same university. He did not know what their major was, or if they worked, or anything besides that fact. Despite all the battles they had been through, Hajime had tried to keep some distance with the team, which was probably a bad move since their life not only depended on him, but it also worked viceversa:<em>his</em>life also depended on them. He concluded that meeting them like this once in a while would keep him alive.<br/><br/>The first to talk was Cody. Hajime gave a slight bow in response to the other Sailor's and offered another to Noah, who was standing next to Cody. He wanted to mention the fact that they were eight minutes late, but he let it pass; Hajime did not want to start off aggressively. ""Yes. Glad you came too.""<em>'I guess.'</em>Hajime replied, putting his phone in his pocket, leaving it on vibrate mode. It was not like any one would call him or send him a message apart from the Sailor group, but the possibility was there. ""Did you have any problems to get here? Every hour is a rush hour in Japan's trains."" He commented, addressing both of them and figuring they had come by train since it was the fastest and most straightforward mean to reach the pub."

Mostly because thinking about them himself would inevitably make him a cramped in his jeans and the last thing he needed to do was pop a boner in public, especially with Eden and Jacob....the poor boy would never live it down.<br/><br/>""You forgot cute animal gifs. I can't decide if I want a Red Panda or a Baby Harp Seal. I'd like both to cuddle and feed."" He smiled to himself. Pure thoughts. Cuddly animals over Eden's oreo stacked cock or Jacob thunder crashing his dick into the nerd until he blasted his mercury bubbles.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>And that's when Trent nonchalantly reached down to give a small adjustment to himself under the table.<em>""But....I'm interested in those that other Team...I wonder why there are two teams...""</em>. He mused aloud and would definitely bring the question up to Dominic once Team Venus would have their next meeting. They were all Sailor Guardians....didn't they all have the same goal?

Getting drunk was the last thing on his mind anyways, he’d only come to enjoy the crowd a little, maybe even get a little buzz. Now he just wanted to go in all honesty, annoyance was creeping its way into his system and that was never a good thing, it usually resulted in him getting frustrated which became ticked which rapidly declined into angry and almost instantly became enraged. Which was generally when things started flying through the air and broke into many many flaming pieces.<br/><br/>“So work building up chances to do that when we receive permission to begin our work,” it was what he was doing after all. He wasn’t simply working a business just to have income or something to do, there were ways to get money that didn’t require legitimacy and there was more than enough to do with his duties outside of this. All of this was groundwork and groundwork that he’d been laying for a little bit. Wasn’t easy to make a name in the security business, but it certainly paid off for what he was aiming towards.<br/><br/>“I’m amazed you believe anyone could come close to your level,” not that the other Prince wasn’t attractive, it was just his vanity outstripped the measure of his looks. Not one being had ever existed who had been as good looking as Malachi believed himself to be, but the other Prince was well known for his arrogance. “And I would as sooner be smacking them around myself rather than detouring them with a few toys, but we have a job to do and I aim to do it, one way or another. We’ll get our chance and maybe we’ll even get to crush a couple of them in the process, entertain yourself with some flesh in the process or something.”"

""It certainly seems like it, huh?"" He says in response to his comment about paying off bullies. Shrugging, he continues. ""I just hate seeing people being picked on or taken advantage of. If I can do something to help, why shouldn't I?"" He scratches the back of his head a bit self-consciously before adding, ""The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."" His tone of voice obvious that he's quoting someone. ""I truly believe that. If everyone just sits by and watches.. nothing would ever get done."" Glancing around he realizes he's somewhat gotten onto his soap box before leaning back, a bit sheepish but it's honestly what he feels.<br/><br/>Finishing his burger he drops back into the conversation as it turns around fanfiction again, Eden commenting on tumblr. ""Graphic is a good word for it, from what I've heard. I haven't really seen much of it myself, but I've heard people talking about different ah, 'pairings'? People putting the different Scouts together in awkward positions. It's kind of amusing, really. I can only imagine how the actual Scouts would take it."" He says, eyes flicking to Eden and Trent with a half-amused expression on his face. About to add to the topic, he pauses when Eden measuring his penis with oreo cookies comes up. Turning to look at Trent, he raises his eyebrows. A smirk hovers on his lips and his blue eyes light up in glee. ""Are you saying you've never measured yourself? I definitely have."" He asks, one hand playing with his glass vaguely suggestively as he thinks about it. ""I'm not sure about oreos though.. that's an interesting measurement. I think I would rather use peanut butter cookies, really."" He adds, turning his gaze on Eden. ""I wonder how many I would be. Something to test.""<br/><br/>""As far as there being two teams.. I just figured they were split up to cover different parts of the city, or had different tactical abilities. I suppose there isn't really any way to know without asking one, huh.

He had a dopey little grin on his face as he listened. He only realized how much he was leaning in to look when his food came and he was forced to adjust his position. The waiter got a short smile and a 'thank you' before his attention went back to Jacob. He shrugged his trim shoulders, ""Well, doing it and not just saying it is usually where people differ. And you already seem to have some some people who an testify that you're doing it.""<br/><br/>Cody had to take a second to realize what Eden was hinting at. The other tumblr subject material was making him even more confused, but the ending noun of 'smut' helped confirm what he was already guessing. His eyebrows raised, glancing about at the three and keeping a nervous smile. He didn't seem that shocked by the information, but more that he wasn't sure how to react. He was interested in the notion, it was going to be what he searched for as soon as he got home, but he didn't want to seem too excited. The conversation went towards measuring one's dick with confectioneries, and Cody commented before he could be too nervous to say it, ""I'd buy a box of cookies for that..."" He chuckled nervously after the words left his lips, and prevented any other slips by putting french fries in his mouth.<br/><br/>Cody found the conversation about the notion of two teams interesting because he thought he was an insider listening to outsiders. The act was good enough for him, and he shrugged those slim shoulders, ""I suppose each team has been handling themselves fine... maybe it is best they stay split up to cover more ground. Though I'd be interested in seeing what kind of combinations could occur from mixing them..."" He thought back about the slash-fic conversation and was realized how it could have been misunderstood.

It was charmingly perverted, which he seemed to have an innocent and naive knack for. His eyes wide and filled with curiousity as he heard a certain glasses wearing scout call him out on the oreo measuring and stating no one else would do it but, him. The blonde could not figure out for the live of him why they would choose not to. What else was there to measure in, really? Remaining silent as his eyes held Trent's reflection, that tilt to his head  as if he were going to say something possibly snarky if it were anyone else. However that head tilt ending with a boyish smile as he continued chewing as if nothing happened, always seeming to lack negativity just about outside of the rarest occasion.<br/><br/>Once Jacob chimed in with his preference for peanut butter cookies, it didn't take long for the scout of love to nod and then shrug. Pointing a single sweet potato french fry towards him. ""<em><span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> Wonderful choice, personally I choose oreos because they are milk's favorite cookie. ""</span></em>he'd add with an affirmative nod of his head yet again to show he was done with his point on that debate of cookie measurement. Could anything beat the oreo? Never! Eden had just shared his possibly scientific logic with the world, or this group upon why he believes oreos would be the best tool of measurement. An almost essence of him helping with a presidential campaign could be felt near him, that...may have been a bit odd by how serious he was about it in how it seemed. Pausing, a few minutes later offering a few side glances between the group between his silent munching.<br/><br/>Eventually upon the ideas being tossed around upon the topic of the two groups of scouts, explanations being served with multiple possibilities the blonde found himself even more growingly curious if that could be some part of fate in how it worked out. It did seem that  from what he heard the other team was well balanced for battle as well. Could it be that they were meant to be split into two groups like this? Or.. no he was sure that their beloved guardian would have told them if that were the case, right? Eden tossed the ideas about with an extra long<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" ...Hmmmmmmmm... "" </em></span>coming past his sealed lips as he looked up and about the lights that hung above each booth before feeding himself another fry til he had ran out. Obviously deep in thought, which was odd to see him so serious unless they were talking about a mission or actually in battle.  His lips pouted to the side briefly as he kept his eyes on Cody, the boy would lift both brows.<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""><em>"" I think they'll meet up eventually. Maybe some of the groups will mix up? As many as there are there is bound to be coverage all over Tokyo, right? I'm sure they won't stay separate forever, what if something really big happens?  ""</em></span>he'd question with an almost sad expression to his brows as if that were what he was hoping for. However the moment the others took him seriously, a rather large burger that he had ordered was being lifted to his mouth , awaiting a response."

It is here that they are taught the history of their kind and how to control their abilities. The Academy was built in 1790 as a private school for privileged girls but was turned into a military hospital in the Civil War. The Supreme, the most powerful witch of the generation and a prominent socialite back then, reclaimed the building and reinstated it as a school as a cover-up, but in reality turned it into a safe haven for young witches to learn and hone their powers. Due to many women of the bloodline choosing not to reproduce, the population dwindled from what it, at one time was.  In the early 2000s the populous of male witches took a significant enough hold, for the school and haven to allow them admittance, renaming the school to Robichaux's Academy for the Exceptional.

Witches. That term is one he is going to have to get used too. It is hard for Devin to think of himself as a supernatural being of power than the crazy boy who knew things about people and could hear their thoughts. Another thing he thought was odd was before Harry Potter, he thought witches were green, ugly, wart wearing, broom riding, hags that eat little kids on Halloween, but apparently every witch he has met was quite attractive. To be honest he has only met Cordelia, Some witches from the council and Theodore. Ever since moving into the academy Cordelia let him mope up in his room, luckily there was not that many students so he didn't have to share a room yet, but for the last two days he stayed in his room except when he would shower or grab a little something to eat even though he wasn't hungry. The other witches in the house were pretty from the quick glances he saw and they were far from ugly. Especially Theodore.<br/>Ah Theodore, what a handsome witch indeed. Never has Devin ever met someone who made him so excited and nervous at the same time. Being around Theodore was the most relaxing and stressful thing ever. Devin sat up in his bed and looked at the clock on the wall, it was around four am. He thought about Theodore and how nice he was to him, easing him into this whole witchcraft magick business. Clearing up facts that witches don't worship the devil nor do they have to prance around naked under a full moon. He told him about the Witches and Warlocks Devin is descendant from, and it was all interesting and crazy. Devin also remembered a few days ago when he Theodore showed him around the halls of the Academy being so near him made Devin's power almost manageable and when he touched him it's like he never could hear a person's thought. It was magical indeed. Even though Devin wouldn't admit it to himself, he was starting to develop a little crush on the confident, tall, strong, witch. Not only could he not hear his thoughts, but he made other's thoughts fade away, he was always kind, and was nice to be around. Who wouldn't crush on him?<br/>Devin tried laying back down and fall asleep, but thoughts were swimming around in his head, his thoughts about witches and the other people's thoughts in the house. Around five thirty he gave up trying to sleep and quietly went into the bathroom to take a shower. The warm water cascading down his body was soothing and relaxing, almost drowning out the little thoughts of the dreams the other witches were having. He finished quickly and wrapped a white towel around his waist and went back to his room. He could he some people stirring awake and he prayed he hadn't woke anybody up, The last thing he needed was to create enemies, especially enemies that had mystical powers. Devin wandered if anyone else in the house could read minds like he could, or get visions about people. Devin slipped on a pair of tight black boxer briefs, blacks socks and went to go lay down on his bed. He was starting to hear some personal things about people and he began to concentrate to push the thoughts out of his head. It was getting harder to fight the thoughts from invading his head, but as soon as he did he accidentally fell back to sleep.<br/>Devin awoke to the sound of Cordelia's voice, ""Everyone.... Everyone!  I need you all to join me in the Ancestry Room immediately.""<br/>Devin knew that he couldn't stay locked up in his room forever so he quickly slipped into black jeans, a dark gray V-neck, and black shoes and went downstairs. He was a little nervous and self conscious about finally meeting the other witches and he wondered what was so urgent. Nevertheless Devin made his way downstairs into the Ancestry room where he laid his eyes upon Cordelia. She is very beautiful and upon making eye contact with her he mumbled, ""Good morning."" as sat down on one of the couches sitting near the edge of the couch on the far right. His back up straight and his hands in his lap. Thumbs fiddling together because of his uncomfortable-ness."

Seeing the time she let out a disgruntled groan.<strong>""Fuuuuuck."" </strong>She'd woken up around 6am as usual. No matter what time she went to bed, she woke up at 6am...it was utterly annoying. Sitting up Eve stretched her arms out to her sides and yawned a little. Glancing back at the clock out of the corner of her eye Eve just groaned again. Slipping her legs out of her bed the cool air kissed her skin and she shivered. As she slid off her bed her feet found her slippers (http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc415/TheValkryrieJessica/Eve/clothes%20i%20link/986650703.jpg), and as she stood up her feet were brought to rest in them.  She used the palms of her hands to smooth out the fabric of her nightgown (http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc415/TheValkryrieJessica/Eve/clothes%20i%20link/sexy-silk-spaghetti-strap-solid-black-lace.jpg) then reached over to the head of her bed, grabbing the short black silky house coat that rested there. Slipping it around on, she didn't even bother to tie it, instead making her way to the bathroom to shower.<br/><br/>The young woman took her time in the shower, as she enjoyed the warmth from it, and had a rather intricate routine. The bathroom filled with steam quickly as Eve liked her showers to be disturbingly hot, almost to the point of scalding. First Eve took the time to wash her face, lathering it up extremely well before placing her face in the stream of water and letting it wash off the soap. Then she washed her dark brown hair twice before adding conditioner, then after that was rinsed out she washed her body with an expensive body wash. Then, she washed her face again. As she stood there the warm water turned her skin a light shade of red as she stood in it, the heat burning her lightly. Leaning down to turn off the water, Eve closed her eyes and cringed as the water stopped hitting her body. The shower had helped her wake up though, so she was happy about that.<br/><br/>Stepping from the shower Eve grabbed her black towel and wrapped it around her body as she slipped her house shoes back on, before stepping up to her mirror and using her hand to wipe away the condensation so that she could look at herself. ~<em>You are fucking gorgeous</em>~ She smirked and looked at herself before giving her reflection a wink, it seemingly doing the same to her. Eve knew she was pretty, and she used that to her advantage. While she was only romantically and physically attracted to men, she had no issues flirting with a woman to get what she wanted, because Eve knew she would never engage in the physicality of it all. Grabbing her hair dryer Eve dried herself off quickly, and slipped her nightgown and robe before making her way back to her room.<br/><br/>Sitting down at her vanity Eve chuckled and plugged her curling iron in. As it heated up she began to put on her makeup. While doing so Eve sat and started thinking to herself about everything that had happened since she'd been at the school...or more so hadn't happened. She hadn't perfected her power yet, made any friends, or found a boyfriend...though who really had time for one if they were going to become a powerful witch? Shrugging as she applied her eye shadow to her brush Eve groaned. ~<em>Alright Eve...today you need to make at least one friend. You may eventually need a minion.</em>~ Chuckling to herself Eve applied her lipstick, then gloss, before getting up and getting dressed. Slipping on one of her favorite dresses, Eve got dressed quickly before walking back over to her vanity and curling her hair into a subtle wave.<br/><br/>Just as she finished up she heard Cordelia's voice request everyone's presence in the Ancestry Room. Eve suddenly got a little excited. Was today the day that something interesting was actually going to happen? Turning off her curling iron, Eve got up quickly and tossed her lip gloss into her purse as she picked it up, and made her way to the room where Cordelia was.<br/><br/>As Eve entered the room she saw Cordelia standing there and she smiled at her.<strong>""Goodmorning Miss Goode.""</strong>Normally Eve wasn't one for proper titles...Miss, Mr. , Ms. , Mrs. and the like tended to just annoy her. Cordelia however came from a rather prestigious family of witches, and respect was due. Turning her head to the couch Eve smiled brightly at the rather enchanting young man sitting on the couch. ~<em>Curious...I don't remember seeing him around...Maybe he's just shy...And he looks so nervous....how fucking adorable is that?!...Remember Eve...play nice...Cordelia is in the room.</em>~ Normally Eve didn't play nice, she didn't really know how. She was spoiled, and hid behind a tough girl exterior, today however she would play nice - even if it killed her. Making her way over to the couch Eve smiled at Devin then sat down towards the middle of the couch, crossing one of her silken legs over the other, bobbing her foot up and down. Turning to look at him Eve checked him out. ~<em>Kinda cute...not bad clothing wise either...though he could seriously use a leather jacket.</em>~ Her thoughts were brief, and Eve had no idea he'd most likely heard them as she began speaking.<strong>""I'm Eve.""</strong>As she spoke she held out her hand to shake his in greeting. She didn't figure there would be a large exchange of words since Cordelia had an announcement to make most likely, but she figured she should at least introduce herself."

Though this was because of early development and a good teacher.  He had never met the previous supreme, only heard she wanted nothing to do with her daughter nor the coven... a notion which made his blood boil.  After building a small fire outside with his gifts, he chilled out on a small blanket, reading books on spells and potions before unwillingly and unknowingly falling asleep.<br/><br/>He awoke the next morning around Five Fourty-Five, drooling on himself, from such a deep sleep, sprawled out on his stomach.<em>ew.</em>He thought.  He wiped his mouth clean and stood up with the pink imprint of the blanket across his cheek as he packed up and went back inside.  Theo went straight to his room, passing the bathroom where it sounded as though someone was taking a shower and laid his things about on his bed, not bothering with neatness for the moment.  He rifled for some pajamas and as soon as he had no longer heard the shower running for about fifteen minutes, he went into the sanctioned boys bathroom and took a shower.  The water was a bit cool for his taste at first until he turned the hot on a bit more and he soaped up, washed his hair and rinsed off, donning a pair of deep cerulean silk pajamas he had gotten from Cordelia for Christmas and headed to his room, falling asleep once again.<br/><br/>Theodore had begun to stir mere minutes before Cordelia called for them and had begun to get ready by the time her voice echoed from below.  He made his way down nodding to Cordelia with a smile and sat upon a rather plush chair, next to the young man he had went to retrieve with Cordelia, As well as a young lady he hadn't really officially met.<strong>""How are you today Miss Goode?""</strong>He asked with a grin, turning to Devin<strong>""And how are you as well Devin.. Did you sleep okay?""</strong>after asking to those know to him, how they were he turned to the young lady.<strong>""Hello,""</strong>He said in a pleasant tone and rather seductive sounding voice, though it was never his intent, just how he was.<strong>""How are you?  My name is Theodore.  Theodore Belvedere, and what might I call you?""</strong>"

She wasn't even unpacked yet. Hadn't met any of the students yet. Just one teacher who showed her to her room. Come to think of it, she was the only teacher. Already she was homesick. She only had one family member yet, as odd as she was, Cadance loved her grandmother. Now she was in a new place, with new people, alone. Then again, she was used to being alone. But at least back home there were familiar faces. Here, it was like starting over. Though she supposed it wouldn't have been any different had she gone to a actual college.<br/><br/>She heard the headmistress voice blare over the speaker. What could this be? A gathering of new students? She plunked the map out of her bag and looked it over for the mentioned room. Spotting it, she then folded the map neatly and tucked it into the side pocket of her bag before slinging the bag over her shoulder before slipping on her shoes. Here goes something, she'd have to face probably the entire school for the first time. God she hated orientation day and introductions.<em>'Please don't make me stand up and talk to everybody.'</em>She thought.<br/><br/>It took her a few minutes to find her way through the hall and in front of a door. At least maybe being a little late meant that maybe everybody else was pretty much there. She pushed the door open and saw the headmistress along sort three students already there. Apparently not enough so she could slip in without notice. She smiled meekly around the room, only really pausing when her eyes met Ms. Goode's, before slipping herself next to the back wall and attempting to drop her glaze away from the other students as she paid attention to Ms. Goode. She was too shy to say anything any of them right now. Some of them seemed to already be chatting anyway and she would just disturb them if she did, if they even heard her. Were there more students than this? Or was the class simply this small. Witches were probably a rare thing after all. She didn't know a whole lot of details on 'her people', it was strange to even think she even had 'people like her' now."

Her pale skin seemed to glow as it worked its way along her prone body. The light grazed her eyes and caused her to stir with a soft groan that escaped her full lips. Slowly her eyes opened and she looked around the room that had been her home for some time now. The same white walls greeted her as she sat up, her hands reaching up and rubbing the sleep from her eyes as the early morning hours called her. Sleep had been a rare thing for her, the few hours she had managed to get this night would have to do for now.<br/><br/>As she pushed from the bed her sketch book fell from the bed and opened up to a random page. Looking down Layla smirked and shook her head as she saw the sketch (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/154/7/0/70b0bc0a1263f2be3e1bd45e68078260-d5252xx.png) that had come up. The graphic horror bunnies she had drawn on a silly whim, a contrast to some of her more emotion subjects. It caused her to laugh softly before picking up the leather bound book and setting it aside. Bare feet shuffled along the floor as Layla yawned and set to getting ready for the day. Pulling on some clothes and grabbing her sketch book and mp3 player before heading downstairs.<br/><br/>It was early yet and most everyone was still asleep, so she slipped into the kitchen and stole her something to eat and found herself sitting within the school make shift library. The books filled with the spells and history of those that had come before her was one of her guilty pleasures. Layla had read many of the books a dozen times over, but for the most part kept her knowledge and thoughts on them to herself. But there she sat collecting her thoughts and eating some breakfast as music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQmDUEv939A) started to filter through her headphones. After a while Layla again found herself sketching as she waited for the others to get up and the day to finally begin.<br/><br/>When she heard Cordelia call out to them Layla slowly gathered her things and stood from the chair she had claimed for herself. Her steps were sure yet soft as she made her way to the Ancestry room. Her hips swaying in an almost sultry way as she walked into the room. Layla wasn't surprised to see she was the last to arrive, and knew they'd probably look down on her for it. But she didn't care just found herself a seat,<strong>""So I miss the good bits yet?""</strong>she asked with a soft smirk on her face. She didn't greet them as a proper lady should or introduce herself, but Layla was never one to be a proper lady. But watching and studying them...well that was another thing all together.<br/>"

It was a she, with a very strong personality. The woman came into the room a few seconds later greeting Delia and then her gaze set onto Devin. He didn't look up at her, but upon hearing her thoughts coming forcefully in his head he couldn't help but to smirk a little. She extended a hand to him and introduced herself. That's when he looked her over not so subtly from her legs to her face. She was absolutely stunning, extremely pretty. Devin looked down at her hand so he didn't stare. Eve had made him feel funny, not like the way Theodore made him feel, she had an overwhelming aura about her. He took her hand a gave it a quick squeeze.<br/><br/>""Morning, Eve. My name is Devin, nice to meet you."" he said quickly, letting her hand go and looking away. That's when he sensed him, Theodore or lack of sense. He kind of had like an empty air about him. Not that Theodore was air headed, but lack of sense. Devin couldn't sense him unless he concentrated which was weird usually he didn't have to concentrate to for his powers to work, they were in a constant state of on. All the time. Devin just tried to ignore it, but with Theodore there was this lack of sense, like he could sense there was a ""shielded"" sense about him but didn't understand it. Then he came into the room and Devin's heart stopped. He was too afraid to look up at him, didn't want to embarrass himself. Then he noticed his gaze falling upon Devin. He had to look at him, and he did.<em>Gosh he is handsome.</em>His mouth became dry and he couldn't move, he looked at his lips as they were forming words but he wasn't paying attention. Mesmerized by the man that was looking at him.<em> What?</em>Devin mentally asked himself. It took him a moment or two to realize he has asked how he was sleeping. Was it really that obvious that he hasn't been sleeping well? He hadn't talked about it with anyone. Nervously Devin bit his lower lip and his face began to flush. ""Mhmm"" he lied, not trusting his voice to speak. Devin looked down at his shoes when Theodore started talking to Eve. A small quick flash of jealous hit him mentally as he chatted with her.<br/><br/>A thoughts of nervousness and uncertainty made itself known in Devin's mind, it was another student. Unknowingly having mutual feelings about this little meeting like Devin did. He looked up at the ceiling and smiled. As she made her way trying to find the small gathering of witches. Her thoughts were less bombarding since having his very small chat with Theodore, so it wasn't bad. Kind of like a little bird singing in the distant. This girl had a nice mind, and nice thoughts. She was kind, yet nervous it made Devin feel very relaxed with her. A minute or two she finally entered the room and stayed in the back. Devin's head was already turned too the archway she emerged from when she walked in, he smiled at her and silently mouthed a ""Hi."" Thankful for their shared nervousness he started feeling a tad bit more comfortable. Then the thoughts of everyone started intermingling, Eve's, Cadance's, and Cordelia and someone else's, Theodore's thoughts were kind of like static on an empty radio hard to pick up unless you really listened and Devin didn't want to. But this other student, girl, she had a carefree attitude that Devin envied. The song she was previously listening to replaying in his mind over and over again was giving him a headache mixed with the other students thoughts, being so closed to them it was kind of watching five tv shows at once with the volume's increasing getting louder. He could tell when they other girl got in the room cause her thoughts were just as loud as everyone else's. He had a hard time listening to his own let alone concentrating to decipher the others.<br/><br/>Then Cordelia started talking about the new supreme, thanks to Theodore's quick lessons about the history of witches when they came her to New Orleans from Seattle he knew barely enough to know what she was talking about, but in all the years the supreme was a woman and men being witches is a new thing, so the percentage of Devin being the supreme was slim and he didn't want to be an all powerful witch, he didn't even want his own power. It was annoying. As Delia started talking about being condemned by fire Devin looked over at Theodore, he wasn't kidding. I thought he was being silly when he said witches were set to the stake if they mistreated one of their own kind but it rarely happened. Being seventeen and not that physically strong he didn't think he'd ever harm anyone on purpose. As Cordelia finished, Devin's head was spinning, the thoughts of witches was like hearing the thoughts of a couple hundred students at school, their thoughts were stronger though. They emotionally charged with strong energy and vibrated in head harshly. He wanted to ask if he had to go through the lessons if he didn't want to be the supreme, but couldn't bring himself to ask. He put a hand to his head, the ever increasing headache was starting up again and worse this time. His face cringed and he closed his eyes as he tried to push back at the thoughts, but it wasn't working. It felt as if he was trying to push wind during a storm. It wasn't going to happen right now. He concentrated harder not wanting to cause a scene like previous times, but the harder he pushed the less it was working, he continued pushing anyway. Devin didn't even realize that blood started trickling from his nose until a drop splashed on his hand. He reopened his eyes and looked in shock at his left hand in his lap.<em>Oh my.</em>He thought as he quickly muttered, ""Excuse me"" and stood up pressing his hands to his nose as he left the ancestry room trying not to get blood on anything or anyone.<br/><br/>Devin was completely embarrassed as tried quickly rushed to a bathroom on the first floor. Once inside he rushed to the toilet paper and began jamming it up his nose. Now the whole coven probably thought he was a coke head or something. he went over to the mirror and noticed he got blood all over his face and all on his t-shirt. He searched for a small rag. He found one in a cabinet next to the sink, he quickly got it wet with water and began cleaning his face of blood. He took of his shirt and sat on the floor holding more toilet paper in his nose hoping the bleeding would stop, being further away from the witches lessened the headache and so he stopped trying to push at it, so hopefully the blood will stop. Devin reached up and put his shirt in the sink and leaned his back on the cool white tile wall. Closing his eyes and forgetting to close the door."

That's the best way she could put it. ~<em>Good fucking Gods....I'm surrounded by sexy people....A girl could get used to this.</em>~ She was lost in her own thought as Theo spoke to Cordelia and Devin, only snapping back to when he spoke to her. Yeah...the voice matched the hot bod for sure. Theodore hmmm? Something told her he went by Theo. Extending her hand to shake his Eve smiled brightly.<strong>""Nice to meet you Theodore. My name is Evangeline, Evangeline Blackthorn...You can call me Eve though.""</strong>The smile on Eve's face never faded as she talked to Theo.<br/><br/>The next couple people in were two girls. One rather timid, and the other made Eve smile.

The way the woman spoke struck a cord with Eve. There was also the fact the trials were starting...Eve couldn't wait. ~<em>Hell yeah! This is exactly what I've been waiting for!</em>~ Inside her mind, Eve was freaking out, but on the outside, her demeanor was calm, and collected. Then suddenly Devin got up with a nose bleed and left the room rather quickly. Looking around Eve discreetly rolled her eyes, it being so subtle it was barely noticeable, then spoke.<strong>""Ummm....Should one of us go check on him?""</strong>Looking at Cordelia Eve smiled softly.<strong>""I can go if you'd like me to Ms. Goode.""</strong>"

Most of the people there greeted her silently but she didn't know what to say or do except smiled nervously and settle into a shadow against the back wall by herself. She didn't socialize with people. She hardly knew how. At her old school she was always the weird girl who never said anything. Same with her ballet class. She didn't like talking to people. She didn't know how to make a conversation work. So, she did the same here.<br/><br/>She didn't know what to expect. She had only gotten there the day before. She knew nothing except what her grandmother told her and the tiny bit Ms. Goode had told her before she settled into her room. She was told more would be explained today. Was this to be the 'more explanation'? Was it some sort of orientation into witch school? She was confused by it all and hoped it would soon be clear.<br/><br/>But it wasn't. The next words Goode spoke only confused her more. She didn't even know what a supreme was exactly, unless it was a supreme pizza or the female singing group from the 60s. She remembered her grandmother babbling about a supreme witch being a leader or something. Then Goode had told her that the supreme had been her mother who had passed. But beyond that, she was very confused. They were all there to be trained and tested to be the next supreme? What if she didn't want to? The idea of her in some sort of leadership role was laughable, even she knew that. She was cowarding against the wall for a reason. She didn't like to be front and center.<br/><br/>She was going to open her mouth and say something, but then the one sweet looking boy who had smiled and lipped 'hi' at her, seemed to have some sort of problem. He rushed out, and she noticed blood. This worried her greatly. Cadance was sweet and kind and cared about people and animals, she didn't like to see anything hurting. The worry was clear on her face. But again, she was a moment too late before she was going to speak. One of the girls asked about checking on him and the other boy followed him.<br/><br/>Cadance watched him go before turning and looking around at the two other girls and the woman very confused. Her glaze finally landed on good with a concerned look and there was a moment's pause before she finally spoke for the first time. ""Is he going to be okay?"" She asked the teacher with worry."

But she simply grinned and shrugged her shoulders in a light look that was to say that she at least made it. Which more than she could say for some, and from the looks of those around her there were a few that looked scared shirtless to be there in the first place. Shaking her head Layla found a place to sit and seemed to relax into whatever song was finishing on her MP3 player. Looking to Eve she tilted her head a bit,<strong>""Right...ok.""</strong>she said shaking her head and looking back to the others. Something about the girl didn't sit well with her, but for now she let it slide and turned her attention to what was happening around them.<br/><br/>Her mind relatively clear as she opened her eyes once more and pulled her ear buds out. Looking to Cordelia as she began to explain what was to come. A new supreme and it could be any of them, and that fact worried the fuck out of her. Her eyes looked to Theo for a moment, beyond Cordelia he was the only person present that she really trusted. And certainly the only other person she could trust being the leader of the coven. But she knew anyone present could have that touch or spark within them that gave them that special edge. And as she looked about her and saw the other around her Layla actually grew a bit worried. Specially when the nervous ninny that had been eying Theo like candy treat suddenly started to have a random nose bleed. Groaning lightly Layla rubbed her eyes,<strong> ""For fuck sake,""</strong>she said lightly. If he became the supreme they were all screwed for sure.<strong>""It’s no wonder were nearly extinct.</strong>"" she said stretching her legs out in front of her a bit.<br/><br/>Perhaps she was being hard on the kid, but a month didn't seem like enough to prepare a person who had barely enough control over themselves to be ready to lead.  And the idea of risking the only home she had ever really known on someone she didn't know sure as hell didn't sit well with her. Her brow scrunches a bit and Layla grew irritated, but she took a breath and told herself that Theo and herself had been working at this much longer. They were trained and she was well versed in the school library. So with that in mind she set herself on the idea of pushing herself as hard as possible in the next month, if only for the good of the coven. Theo leaving caught her attention and made her half smirk, he was too much of a softy. But she would scold him for it...not yet anyway.<strong> ""Right, so training begins now. Is that all?""</strong>she asked knowing it was a bit to the point but Cordelia knew she was not one to pussy foot around, much less when she was irked about something.<br/><br/>"

Not only were his thoughts tormenting him, but the thoughts of the other witches in the house were just as harsh. Great. Another place he didn't fit into. It wasn't enough that his parents didn't want the sideshow freak, but now the other witches in the house didn't want anything to do with him. Maybe coming here was a bad choice after all, maybe he shouldn't leave? Sure, he was being a little dramatic about leaving, but if some of the witches didn't like him already cause of a nose bleed, he doubt any of them would like that he could read their minds. If only he could reach out and ask the others privately on what they could do but he couldn't imagine that going well. D's mind started to quite down, and he knew that Theo was close by, but instead of making himself presentable he started hearing the voice of someone else. The thoughts were dark, cold and disturbing and seemed to becoming from the lower levels of the house. He couldn't make out any words, it was more just a feeling--a very twisted feeling. The feeling went away when Theodore entered the bathroom.<br/><br/><br/>Theodore's warm presence pushed away the dark thoughts and brought in comfort. D even forgot he wasn't wearing a shirt and his nose had toilet paper shoved up itself. Theo asked if D was okay, and his heart melted, he left the little meeting with Headmistress Cordelia Goode to check to see if he was okay. Devin lamely and shyly nodded his head and that's when Theodore's alarmingly warm hand was placed upon Devin's smooth shoulder. In an instant all the pain was gone, he couldn't hear any thoughts, his own was even clouded. No headache and no visions, no random information coming into his head. It was so relaxing. So comforting. So perfect and then it was gone. Theo left the room to get him a shirt. When he came back it was like D was in a haze. It felt unreal being with Theo, he made Devin feel things he wasn't used to feeling. And no it wasn't just attraction, it was something more. Devin stood up and took out the tissue from his nose and threw it in the trash as Theo helped him put on one of his shirts. Devin had to bite his lip from smiling, Theo is letting his borrow a shirt, and it smelled like him and he was touching him. This man was too sweet, there had to be a catch. Theodore started talking as he was putting the shirt on Devin and as he finished Devin couldn't take it anymore. He didn't want to go back to the room of other witches, he didn't care about Delia's speech or about the supreme or being a witch, or not caring if Theodore didn't have feeling for him he just had to be with him for five minutes.<br/><br/><br/>Devin reached up and put his arms around Theodore's neck and rested his head on his shoulder. Then he realized what he felt when he was with Theodore. Safe. Theodore was nice, kind, unfathomably warm, too sweet, handsome, he smelt good, and he was comfortable, but most of all he seemed to make Devin's powers go away when he touched him and Devin just felt so relaxed and so nervous around him. He could just fall asleep right in his arms without a care in the world. It was great. He wish he could feel like this all the time. D lightly spoke in Theodore's ear, "" I am so, so very sorry for making you leave the meeting. I know how much this witch stuff means to you, you are too sweet and I don't know how you do it, but if you can just give me a moment or so I'll go back to the room or whatever you want just please...hold me"" Devin knew he was rambling, and he knew he was being extremely vulnerable; he was letting his guard down in front of a complete stranger, a witch. For all he knew Theo's power could be to charm people out of their clothes but he didn't care. D couldn't remember the last time he was so relaxed and felt so normal, especially around anyone else. It was strange and exhilarating. He felt relieved that he could feel okay again. His eyes were watery and his fingers unconsciously played with the hair on the back of Theodore's head as he closed his eyes and pressed his body closer to the hard body he was holding on too tightly. His blood rushed fast all around his body and his heart was beating fast in his chest and then he let go. Feeling even more embarrassed he dropped his gaze to the floor and mumbled an apology.<br/><br/><br/>Gosh was Devin a freak. He quickly wiped his eyes and stepped around Theodore out of the bathroom and into the hallway, he made his way back to the ancestry room saw and that the other witches were leaving to go outside. He followed them outside and left quite a distant between him and them. Their thoughts still hadn't bombarded into his head yet, he was still on his Theodore high or whatever it was. The sun was high in the sky already and very bright. His dark clothing to mingle to well with warm weather. He walked on the grass lawn and faced the fence. He couldn't believe he slightly took advantage of Theo, even though it was platonic it was still forcing himself on him. Devin felt really bad and wish he didn't do it but it still felt nice to be with him. What was he going to do?"

Eve glanced over at the young woman with red hair as she made her comment and chuckled softly. She said exactly what Eve had been thinking originally. The other young woman, the one in the light colored dress, expressed her concern as well, though hers seemed to be genuine. Ever found herself wondering if the two more shy witches had it in them to become supreme. She was certain if either of them did that things might begin to go very differently for witches like her. Hearing Cordelia's voice Eve snapped back to from her thoughts and listened. Simply nodding at Cordelia's words about Devin being okay She waited for further instruction looking at the other two students in the room.<br/><br/>When Cordelia reassured Eve and the girl Eve would call ""the pure one"", that things would seem more clear to them by the time the trials arrived, Eve smiled.<strong>""I have no doubt of that Miss Goode.""</strong>It was the most honest answer Eve could give the woman. She trusted Cordelia could train them, it was the one thing about this school she actually had faith in at this point. Eve continued to listen to Cordelia and upon hearing her request for her to go outside with the pure one she nodded and stood up gracefully, brushing the front and back of her dress off before nodding at Cordelia again before the woman headed out of the room.<strong>""Yes ma'am.""</strong><br/><br/>Once Cordelia and the girl named Layla had left the room Eve grinned and looked over to the pure one, tilting her head to the side.<strong>""What's your name? I'm Eve.....""</strong>Smiling at the girl whether she answered or not Eve made her way out of the Ancestry Room and towards the door to head outside, as they walked Eve looked over and arched an eyebrow curiously.<strong>""So, what can you do anyways?""</strong>Eve's tone was friendly when she asked, even if she had her own motives.<br/><br/>Once finally outside Eve leaned against one of the pillars and looked over at Cadance.<strong>""You got any clue why we are out here?"" </strong>Eve wouldn't normally care, but she hadn't put any sunscreen on for anything like that...the idea of tanning to much just didn't do it for her. That and the fact she was stuck outside with the one person in the household she thought might be more skiddish then Devin. Leaving her with this poor girl for to long was a recipe for corruption waiting to happen."

It's no problem.  As long as you are okay.""</strong>He paused for a moment taking in Devin's last words.<strong>""Wait... whatever I want?  What do you mean?  If its what I want, then maybe after whatever Cordelia has planned we can hang out and talk a bit, maybe I can help teach you one of the tests.""</strong>He held the young man close to him, one of his hands moving to the in-between of his shoulder blades and rubbed softly.  As Devin reached up to play with his hair it made him shiver and his spine tingle.  No one had shown even the smallest amount of affection in that way.  Cordelia was a great mother figure, holding him as he grew, telling him stories and hugging him when he needed it.  Layla had been... well a sister.  They argued, they laughed, they cried.  But he felt comfortable in the fact that she would die for him and the coven, as would he.  The young man's heart raced against his chest, causing him to mildly worry for a moment as he pulled away, making Theo wonder what he did wrong.<strong>""No need for apologies.  You did nothing wrong.""</strong>He then went to take Devin's hand and lead him downstairs, but instead Devin stepped around him and headed down himself.<br/><br/><strong>""Very well then..""</strong>he mumbled as Devin was far from earshot and he took the bloody shirt and threw it in the hamper.  Laundry was his duty this week, so he would be sure to get that stain out.<br/><br/>As he entered the Ancestry room on light feet he could see the others had went out the door to the front lawn and followed behind.  As he exited the door he went to the right banister and swung his leg over it to sit on it as he waited for Cordelia and Layla, wherever they had gotten off too.  As he had gotten his seat he had caught the latter of Eve's sentence.<strong>""I think I may know why we are out here, but... Ill let Cordelia explain.""</strong>"

The girl seemed mean and grumpy, disconnected and not caring too, like a rather rude cheerleader who was at her old school. Though maybe she just needed time to warm up to the new people here, which seemed to be at least herself and that one boy. She wasn't sure about the brunette yet. Goode had just said that they simply didn't as much as her and Theo (who she assumed was the other boy who had followed the one with the problem). That they would learn. That was good at least. They did intend to bring her up to speed on things.<br/><br/>She nodded at Goode and watched the teacher and the redhead... Layla she had called her, leave her alone with the brunette with instructions to go outside. She turned her head as the other girl spoke, giving her name and asking Cadance's in return. ""Cadance Lumarian."" She said. But then Eve (as she had said her name was) asked a question that confused Cadance. What could she do? It was a very blain question which could have many answers. Was she asking about magic? Skills? Talent in general? ""I'm not sure what exactly you are asking about."" She replied honestly as she followed the other girl outside.<br/><br/>Once outside she was asked another question that she didn't know. Perhaps Eve thought she had come her from another witch school or a family of witches. If such even existed. Layla had said something about them being nearly extinct and she remembered her grandmother babbling something about 'so very few left.' Cadance just shrugged at the question and was saved from opening her mouth again by the two boys showing up. She nodded at the one, Theo and watched the other one go off by himself.<em>'I hope he's alright.'</em>She thought silently. He seemed to not fit in as much as her. But for different reasons perhaps. She wasn't sure."

A soft smile came to her lips as she shrugged,<strong>""If they can't hand a few harsh remarks from me then how will they deal with what is coming?""</strong>she asked with an almost curious look to her eyes. It was true the fate of the coven was laid before them and all they could do was fuss over being a meanie. As far as she was concern it was toughening them up. Still she gave Cordelia a slight nod of respect and pushed from the seat she had claimed for herself.<br/><br/>She glanced towards the two other girls and looked them over once more.

But as always she kept her thoughts to herself and simply turned from the room. Her steps slow and easy as he heels clicked lightly along the floor as she held her sketch pad tight to her chest.<br/><br/>As she slipped to the stairs that lead to the basement Layla thought about possibility of becoming the supreme. She had in the past years learn to pull herself together, to control her gift and find her place within this new way of life. It may not seem it to the new comers but she had actually improved her way of life a great deal. But did that mean she was ready to stand as supreme? Only fate would tell who gained that burden. And that was what it was in a way...a burden. Some saw it as a way to power, but you had so much more on your plate then simple ability. She truly felt sorry for the coven if someone who simply wanted the powers that came with the title. Because they would never be able to handle it, or bring this coven back from near extinction.<br/><br/>Leaning against the door frame Layla waited for Cordelia, looking up she heard the familiar sound of her footsteps.<strong> ""So how would you like to do this?"" </strong>she asked sure Cordelia would deal with the boy’s absence very differently the she would.<br/>"

Nice name, I like it.""</strong>Surprisingly Eve wasn't blowing smoke out of her ass this time, she actually did like the girl's name, it was pretty. The young woman's confusion over her next question made Eve pause for just a moment before continuing to walk.<strong>""You're in a school full of witches with various unique powers...I meant what is your power.""</strong>Eve smiled at the young woman as they made their way out front.<br/><br/>Not long after they had gotten outside and Eve had made herself comfortable Theo and Devin made their way outside, and it was a good thing too. Eve found it rather unnerving with people didn't answer questions. Even if a person doesn't know an answer, a simple 'I don't know' worked just fine. Eve knew she was a bitch, but not knowing something wasn't one of her bitch triggers, it just meant that when she found out the answer she'd share it with the person who didn't know. Witches were stronger with more knowledge, and as much as she wanted to be the new Supreme, Eve knew that she was only as strong as her coven. That included their intelligence.<br/><br/>Smiling at Theo as he moved to sit on the banister, Eve couldn't help but to check him out a little. It was subtle, and not noticeable, but she'd done it. ~<em>Yeah, he's just yummy.</em>~ Little did she know that one of her fellow witches could read minds. Theo answered Eve's question and the smile on her face grew.<strong>""Works for me. I was just curious.""</strong>As she spoke she shrugged not really minding not knowing the answer. Looking back over to Devin Eve raised an eyebrow and stood up a little bit straighter.<strong>""Devin, you okay?""</strong>Oddly enough, Eve found herself slightly concerned. Perhaps it was the fact she was beginning to realize these people were going to be part of her life whether she liked it or not from here on out."

The song was called 'Who Do You Voodoo, Bitch?' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78bj6ebUVqA), and from the video game Dead Island. The music was not the only violation to their senses either, the smell of dragon's blood and full moon incense coupled with that of embalming fluid had washed over the room, making itself at home in the air. Having been at the school for six months one might think that the young man had unpacked, but he hadn't. There were still cardboard boxes stacked on one another, and a small section of the room was divided off by old tapestries that hung from the ceiling to the floor, one of which was moving as if something was behind it playing. In front of those tapestries there was a line of fly paper dangling from the ceiling that had a decent amount of flies on it. The few pieces of furniture in the room all looked as if they were from the turn of the century and Jason had obviously painted the walls black and added a bone boarder.<br/><br/>Jason sat behind an antique desk bobbing his head to the music and working on his latest project. The young man sat there stuffing what looked to be some sort of Frankenstein creation made from various animal parts sewn together. Whatever it was had three heads, the body of baby gator and a skunk tail, as well as a set of wing that looked as though they were pulled from two different creatures. Glancing up as Cordelia said his name Jason held up his finger for a moment and let the song finish before turning down the radio. Jason often showed hints at a mild form of OCD, letting his songs play through was one of those little clues.<strong>""Well looky here. It's the headmistress and one of her playmates...Finally came to the dungeon to meet the weirdo...To what do I owe the pleasure?""</strong>Tilting his head to the side Jason gave an eerie smile before speaking again, his eyes widening as if he'd just remembered something.<strong>""Oh wait! Before you answer that...A little birdy told me that one of the new arrivals was leaking like a siv from the nose! Has it stopped yet?....Cause I'd really like to see it....After all, nasal seepage is one of my favorites.""</strong><br/><br/>Grabbing a needle and thread from his table Jason began to sew up the opening in the critter where he'd been stuffing it before raising an eyebrow at the Headmistress.<strong>""I take it that you came down to the dungeon with a purpose...Are we going somewhere? Do I need to bring anything, or is this just a cane event?""</strong>Jason had been using a cane since his release from the asylum. Occasionally his nerves would misfire due to the electroshock therapy and make him twitch. He'd amassed quite the collection of them as well. Looking over his right shoulder for a moment Jason grinned at what looked to be the air to most people, then turned his attention to the area over his left shoulder before looking back to Cordelia and Layla.<strong>""Father thinks I should bring my knives...but Mother says I shouldn't. Today is a Father day though, after all...it is Friday the 13th. Only good things happen on such Holy days.""</strong>As he finished speaking Jason stuck the needle into the middle head of his creation before slowly getting up. Reaching over to towards the wall he grabbed the cane (http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/DemonBunnyInc/media/Jason%20Swift/Marquis_de_Lune_Cane_zps48a81062.jpg.html) leaning up against it before making his way around to the front of the desk."

D tried really hard not to turn around and look at Theodore but Evangeline's thoughts on how 'Yummy' he was entered his mind, and he had to look. D couldn't fathom that not ten minutes ago did he have his arms around Theodore and was holding him, like he asked. Devin couldn't agree more how yummy Theodore was, but he didn't want to think about it. Conflicting thoughts circled D's head as he was struggling between how good it felt to be with Theodore and all the things that he shouldn't be thinking about him verses the thoughts that kept D from going over to him and making kissing him.<br/><br/>First: Devin wasn't sure how Theodore felt about him, sure he had held him in the bathroom, but Theodore was nice, he would've probably held anyone who asked or whom he had pitied. Second: Theodore was on the witches council, a very exclusive council of his people that probably meant being more than friendly to a basket case witch wasn't going to happen. Third: It would just be too good to be true. Sure being attracted to another boy hadn't been D's plan in life, but it happened, and he wasn't going to make a big deal about it. It wasn't weird or strange it was how he felt, even though he shouldn't feel that way. Not because of homophobic reasons, but because liking Theodore was complicated.<br/><br/>Devin's thoughts were interrupted yet again when Eve asked him if he was okay. Was he that obvious that he was mentally going over the recent events of Theodore?<br/>Eve sounded genuinely concerned and her thoughts followed. Devin couldn't help but to smile at the feisty girl's caring attitude towards him. ""Yeah, I am fine thanks Eve."" All of a sudden her conversation with Cadance had entered D's mind as if he was actually paying attention to the whole thing. He knew that Cadance was also concerned for him too. How had he not heard her thoughts? The thoughts that were loudest in his head were either witches, people with super charged with emotions and if the thoughts were focused towards himself. It mildly shocked D that he hadn't heard their thoughts upon arriving outside. Thinking about Theodore made his thoughts more jumbled and unfocused/focused; if that made sense. The noise in his head thinking about Theodore blocked out the other voices from coming through. It was strange, but then he felt more connected to these two girls than he had with most people in his life. Then he realized all of this in a matter of quick moments that they were talking about abilities and it was a topic he didn't want to get into. He would hate to be labeled the wicked witch that could hear thoughts and know things about you before you tell them. If asked he was going to say he had the clairvoyant ability to allude to the future, nothing more and nothing less unless he had to. He figured only Cordelia and probably Theodore knew about his power. He wandered if Theodore knew he couldn't read his mind unless he actually concentrated hard onto it.<br/><br/>D felt Cadance's nervousness and wanted anything more than to save her from being more uncomfortable, but figured he'd end up burning himself and everyone else if he got dragged into the power conversation, even though he wanted to hear what everyone else could do. And just like the that, it came to him. What everyone knew that they could do, came into his head. Cadance's earth ability, Eve's reanimation ability, and Theo's fire ability. Wow. That's pretty interesting, but not any of the three witches could read minds. This made Devin feel sick. He was the odd one out yet again in life. He never got the chance to ask Delia if she could read minds but it didn't matter, he doubt she could either. Being a telepathic witch was probably a freaky side effect, like if your parents were brother and sister. It had upset Devin even more on the inside.<br/><br/>D smiled awkwardly and pretended to be interested in the area around him. Walking further away from the other witches to other side of the lawn.  Devin started to hear the thoughts of the people waking up in the early morning of New Orleans. The thought of morning had awoken a hunger inside of him, wishing he had grabbed something to eat instead of just rushing outside. He'd probably wouldn't be so hungry if he ate better upon arriving to the academy, but basically thinking yourself crazy for the majority of you life than, finding out your a witch and your parents making you go to a school for other witches and being the one with the most disturbing powers was kind of upsetting. D sat down on the soft grass a little wet with morning dew but it didn't bother him. He was far enough from the others to be ""alone"" but close enough to hear if his name was being called. Their thoughts mingled in his own whilst he fiddled with the bottom hem of Theodore's shirt. The smell coming from the shirt was a mixture of laundry detergent and sexy witch. Okay sexy witch didn't have a smell but if it did, Devin would bet his money on Theodore being the scent. Or Eve. Devin looked behind him and looked at the other three witches and felt comfort within them, strangers yes, but it was either his power or his very good intuition but Devin really liked these three. A lot, and could see him getting very close with them. He smiled and then looked to the Academy.<br/><br/>Something was off. In the walls of where the witches would rest there was something unsettling in the house, Devin tried to focus his thoughts on it, but they seemed to push back stronger, as if to say he wasn't ready to know such things. It scared him, usually his powers just worked whether D wanted them too or not, but this was different and it chilled him to his core. There was something dark in the house, very dark. Devin looked back to the others, his face filled with worry. Devin did not want to be the supreme, he knew he couldn't handle it. Though he would do everything he could to keep the dark spirit or whatever it was away from these three. If only he knew what it was. Devin quickly faced forward to not let the others read the emotion on his face and let the thoughts of nearby native New Orleans people's thoughts float around noisily in his head. Distracting himself from his fear."

Short and sweet was what Layla was expecting. Even now when Jason refused to come up from his lair when told it was mandatory she would still be lenient with him. It was part of what made Cordelia who she was, but part of Layla saw it as being a push over. To each their own or all that jazz,<strong>""Right,""</strong>she said keeping her answers short,<strong>""And yeah I understand needing practice, but with the people we currently have I worry about the future of the coven.""</strong>she said with a shrug. It was still early and probably a bit harsh to judge some of them already, but Layla lived on the realistic side of things. So trying to sugar coat what was before them now wasn't possible for her.<br/><br/>Layla laughed a bit as Cordelia spoke,<strong>""This is my way remember.""</strong>she said with a shrug of her shoulders,<strong>""They don't have to like me, simply respect me and most of this entire coven. I may not seem it and honestly feeding one or two of them to something would be entertaining, but I will do what is best for the coven and you know that doesn't mean I have to play the happy big sister for them either.""</strong>she said looking to Cordelia with a shrug before the slipped down the familiar stairs into the basement below. Leaving the comment about Cordelia being mother alone, the soft smirk that came to her lips was her only admission she would share on her acceptance of the little fact.<br/><br/>Stepping into the smoky room Layla half expected to see Jason with a blunt sticking out of his mouth. The scent of dragon’s blood filled her lungs first, followed by a flowery slightly earthy scent and then the underlying layer of embalming fluid. Most would be overwhelmed by the mixture but Layla found herself perfectly comfortable as she entered the darkened room. Jason had clearly made the space his own despite not having completely unpacked.<br/><br/>Her eyes drifted about the room, his projects scattered about made her smirk. Each one would be a welcomed addition to her room as far as she was concerned. It was the first time she had seen the collection since his arrival, but she couldn't help but like it.<strong>""Hey...you sell these, because there is like...half a dozen of these I call dibs on if you do."" </strong>she said as she looked over an interesting looking Franken mermaid until the light shuffle of a curtain caught her attention. Layla was about to ask about it...or more likely going to go take a peek when Jason spoke up.<br/><br/>Layla nearly smirked as he mentions being the weirdo in the basement. She didn't think him weird, well at least in a weird in a way that displeased her. Then again that probably only made her that much weirder herself.<strong> ""I don't poke around peoples spaces unless invited,""</strong>she said with a shrug to his coming to see him comment. She out right snicker though as he mentioned Davin's nose bleed,<strong>""Yes there was, Devin just sprung a random leak. Granted I'm not sure if he was trying to use a power and broke something or was simply staring at Theo to hard and his hormones exploded.""</strong>she said with soft chuckle,<strong>""Theo went to baby him so it’s probably all taken care of by now.""</strong>she said knowing Theo was more like Cordelia with her softer touch and tender loving care. Layla would have simply stuck a tampon up his nose and called it a day.<br/><br/>Tilting her head she watched as Jason worked on the project before him. Working on closing up the newly reworked critter as he asked about what was happening.<strong>""I suppose I should let Cordelia explain what is going on."" </strong>she said looking to the older woman. Stepping back Layla took the short moment to look over some of his work again. Not touching any of course, as she knew how irked she could get when people did that. Still it was far too interesting to ignore as Cordelia explained the situation. Only when Jason asked about bringing some knives, already Layla could sense Cordelia's thoughts and just smirked.<strong> ""How about I bring mine instead that way you get to listen to both your parents, and it keeps Cordelia from fretting far too much.""</strong>she said reaching to the back of her hip and pulling out a neatly floated straight blade (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/darkglitch/Laylasblade_zps40c5a79a.png).<strong> ""I assure you, need be it slices through skin like butter.""</strong>she said knowing that little bit of information first hand. The visible scars and marks on her arm were more than proof of her knowledge on the subject even if you didn't already know her history. Letting him get a good look at the blade she slipped it back into its hiding place, the cool metal against her hot skin was always an oddly soothing sensation.<br/><br/>"

She was asking about her... power? Cadance was so used to keeping that secret it hardly even occurred to her. Though she did at least know that all witches had special abilities. She just hadn't thought about it until now. But that sudden realization hit her. They<em>all</em>had some sort of ability. She didn't know what to make of it. The question in itself had shocked her. Though she did answer, somewhat belatedly and stumbly. ""I...I can move earth and plants with thought."" She shrugged somewhat, she had never told anybody her ability besides her grandmother before.

So she didn't go up and say or do anything. She did look at him though, making eye contact, then at Theo, then Eve. They all seemed nice enough so far. Which was a breath of relief from some of her worries. Though not all. ""My grandmother said all witches have abilities which develop and grow over time. I don't know how, or even if that's true. She doesn't usually have a lot of information."" She shrugged again. In a way she was trying to ask if that was true. But she was never good at asking questions.<br/><br/>She didn't know what to do next. She looked at the others, who were all standing and sitting around. She didn't have more to add right then. She felt she talked enough already. Especially given that she usually kept herself so boxed up. This was all just so new to her. Before her were people and information she never thought she would have access to. It was exciting. But at the same time, nerve wrecking. She somehow wanted nothing more than to run home to Georgia and hide in her room. Where it was a familiar and safe. This was all so new and strange. It scared her."

He was slightly surprised by Layla’s response, but didn’t his thoughts known. Watching Cordelia fan herself for a moment before hearing the younger woman start to speak, Jason turned his attention to her.<strong> “I don’t sell my work….I horde it. Soon I’ll be able to animate it.”</strong>He stated his words with a confidence that said he was sure he would.<strong>“But…if you bring me the bodies I will put them together however you’d like.”</strong>Jason watched Layla look around his room with a minor sense of intrigue.  Most girls their age would be completely freaked out by him, his room, and the fact that the curtain in his room was moving…Not to mention Meaty on the other side was anything but meaty. Nodding at her when she said she didn’t poke around without being invited Jason smiled. His smile looked almost eerie as it was something his muscles weren’t used to, but it was a smile never the less.<strong>“That’s good, you never know what might jump out and bite at you.”</strong>While it was a joke, Jason’s tone didn’t give way to that fact. In fact he almost sounded serious.<br/><br/>Once he’d asked about the nose bleed, the young red head spoke up again, causing Jason to raise an eyebrow. Had his room bothered Cordelia so much that she couldn’t say anything yet? He listened and nodded as the young woman snickered and began to explain what happened. Instead of saying anything Jason simply make a ‘humph’ noise and shook his head slightly. If that was the type of class mate he had to look forward to the red head in the room might be the most entertainment he’d get out of this school.<br/><br/>When the young boxed ginger spoke again Jason couldn’t help but notice her watching him work. Sure he was looking at the project at hand, but he had little birdies talking to him all the time. She was going to let Cordelia talk now. Nodding Jason gave her a slight smirk before turning his attention to the Headmistress. As she explained to what pleasure he owed her visit Jason nodded and smiled.<strong>“My apologies for missing the first part of the meeting. Mother informed me it was merely formalities, and well…I don’t do formal well. I was also about half way through skinning the skunk.”</strong>Giving the older a nod of respect Jason stood up and moved to his cane, before asking about his knives.<br/><br/>Layla answered again, and Jason quickly turned his head to look at her. When she pulled out her knife and began to speak Jason smirked again, nodding at her before speaking himself.<strong>”Oh that’s a little thing…and yes dear –all- knives are sharp…But remind me to steal a brownie for you for knowing that.”</strong>Jason then quickly turned his attention over his left shoulder and glared at what seemed to be nothing.<strong> “Yes mother….I am being nice!”</strong>Looking back to Cordelia, Jason saw that she’d opened a window before making her way back upstairs and furrowed a brow.<br/><br/>Quickly moving to the curtain the movement had been behind Jason pulled it aside. Looking down at the skeletal creature with its face planted into a dog dish. The animal seemed to be eating, but as it ate the food just fell to the floor though the bones. Smiling at the dog Jason tilted his head to the side before speaking.<strong>“Meaty! There is a window open…You stay in the basement. Do not follow me. I will return.”</strong>As soon as it heard Jason’s voice the dog’s skeletal face looked up at Jason. The black voids where its eyes should be obviously focused on him. As its tail began to wag Jason reached down and took a moment to pet the dog before turning to the women in the room.<br/><br/><strong> “Now let’s go to the lawn and meet the other special needs children.”</strong>Moving towards both women Jason stopped infront of Layla and looked over his left shoulder again. Nodding softly for a moment while glaring again, Jason groaned.<strong>”Remind me to tell you where you can stick your….never mind.”</strong>Looking back at Layla Jason paused for only a moment.<strong>“I’m Jason…Jason Damian Swift.”</strong>He thought about telling her that his mother had told him to introduce himself but he refrained. Instead Jason turned to follow Cordelia patiently up the stairs and through the school.<br/><br/>As they made their way through the halls and approached the bathroom Jason looked over his left shoulder once and nodded. Pausing he glanced at Cordelia before speaking.<strong>“One moment please.”</strong>Veering off Jason went into the bathroom and quickly collected the bloody tissue from the trash can. As he walked out of the bathroom only seconds later, Jason was sticking the tissue in his pocket.<strong>“I’m ready.”</strong>As he caught back up with the ladies he continued to follow them to the front door, occasionally glancing at Layla’s scars.<br/>"

Each one had something that caught her attention and nearly made her smile. Each one was an oddity of its own. A soft almost unseen pout came to her lips as he said that he didn't sell it. Yet she turned to him with a curious look as he said they would soon be animated.<strong> ""Really?""</strong>she asked wondering just how he was going to make that little trick work. She'd be greatly disappointed if it was nothing more than mechanical trick. His next comment did in fact make her smile,<strong> ""Does it matter what sort of bodies?""</strong>she asked with a smirk as she briefly glanced towards Cordelia and gave a small shrug as if the subject was not nearly as horrible as it sounded. Looking back to Jason as he smiled, he grinned wide like the villain from the old movies, before they began to suck. It was actually kind of hot, but she kept that thought all to herself.<strong>""I only let those I like bite me, so you’re right I'd probably be upset."" </strong>she said with a soft laugh. But she took note of the warning and made sure to keep her hands to herself, especially since she had no idea what was behind the curtain yet.<br/><br/>A soft scoff came from Layla as Jason seemed to almost pout at the fact that Devin's nose bleed had been taken care of. Layla wouldn't have babied him like Theo did, but as Cordelia said they were supposed to play nice...for now. When Cordelia explained about the meetings Layla simply stood and kept her thoughts to herself. Everything seemed a bit formal to her, but she knew Cordelia was trying to break in the prospective newbies in a relatively easy manner. The image that brought to mind nearly made Layla laugh, but she bit the inside of her lip and kept a straight face.<br/><br/>Layla titled her head as Jason spoke to her once more, he was smart ass and clearly crazy. But she didn't get upset at his comment,<strong>""Little yes, but it isn't the size of the blade that counts is it?""</strong>she asked not really expecting an answer,<strong>""And not all blades are sharp, some are so dull its damn near tragic."" </strong>she said with a soft laugh,<strong>""And no worries Miss, if I offended that easily I'd left this place a long time ago.""</strong>she seemed to assure the entity or mother she couldn't see. She didn't actually mind someone being a smart ass when it was actually smart commentary. It was the stupidity that spilled forth from people that annoyed her to no end. Those moments were ones that tested her self-control. After all it would be easy to get someone to shut the fuck up with her gift, simply cut their tongue out and problems solved. Plus the fact that she could give them back their tongue, so in her mind it really was more of a time out. But as Cordelia had always so painfully reminded her, not every problem could be solved with violence, despite the countless occurrences of such that could be used to argue the point.<br/><br/>Layla's thoughts were utterly derailed as Jason pulled back the curtain to reveal the living skeleton that was his dog. She stood and blinked for a moment watching as the poor thing tried to eat and eat. And then Jason spoke to it and all Layla could do was laugh,<strong> ""I'm sorry it’s just...I've never in my life thought aww...how cute.""</strong>she said shaking her head,<strong>""I feel kind of dirty about it actually. But he is in fact awesome...you made him?""</strong>she asked stepping closer, her hand coming up almost as if she were to pet it but stopped as she looked to Jason.<strong>""Can I pet him, I'd hate get wasted blood all over your floor if he bit me.""</strong>she asked and looked back to the 'animal' in front of her. Noting she sad wasted blood as she didn't think the site of it bothered him with the way he asked about the nose bleed.<br/><br/>Whether she got to pet the skeleton dog or not, it was in fact time to get going. The others would be waiting and who knows what sort of trouble they would get into...ok yeah right. She smirked and turned to leave with the two of them, a soft snicker came from her as Jason spoke about special needs children. She was about to say the short bus always bounced better when Jason suddenly fussed at the unseen entities again. Now either he was utterly insane or he was really seeing the spirits of his dead parents. Neither of which actually bothered her, well as long as he didn't start channeling her parents at least. When he looked back to her and introduced himself she nodded,<strong>""Layla,""</strong>she said and noted he told her his whole name. Layla hated the rest of her name but figured to be fair she would do the same.<strong>""Layla Ambrosine Le Blanc.""</strong>she said with a nod as they moved to make their way back upstairs.<br/><br/>As they moved she caught him glancing at her arms, and wondering if her scars offend or intrigued him. Bending her arm at the elbow she held them palms up so the scars were visible,<strong>""Cordelia offered to help make them fade or go away completely. But I'd rather keep them, I figured if someone didn't like them they didn't have to look.""</strong>Layla said as she ran her fingers along them,<strong>""Guess I'm just a freak like that.""</strong>she shrugged and let her arms fall back to her side after a moment and moved to make her way back up the stairs.<br/><br/>"

He was almost to sweet and innocent to have to go through all the shit they were about to have to do. It was sad really. Then Eve smile grew rather wide when Theo spoke up. She watched him as he hopped off the rail and walked past the girls and down the stairs. His answer made her smile even brighter though. She figured Cordelia had a ton of powers, and was curious about what they were of course, but she was -really- curious about Theo.<strong>""Ah....Pyrokenesis. That always seemed like it would be fun to me.""</strong>Eve shrugged then smiled back at Theo, who'd smiled at both her and Cadance.<br/><br/>Then, when the quiet girl spoke up, Eve's head jolted that way. Hearing her power Eve smiled.<strong>""Neat. That seems rather interesting. Can you go all Poison Ivy and fuck people up?""</strong>Eve couldn't help that her mind went to those places. If she had the power to control plants she would use them in a very similar manner to the villainess. Eve let out a sigh and cracked her neck. Before standing up and looking to the other three students. She was sure they would want to know what she did. She didn't really care if it freaked them out, what she did care about however was that Devin might freak out to the point he ended up with another nose bleed.<br/><br/>Taking a step away from the pillar, her dress flowing freely again as she moved, her heels clicking against the porch. Turning around, her weight all resting on one heel as she spun around she looked at her three school mates and smiled softly.<strong>""I can reanimate the dead by returning the soul of the deceased to it's body....and before you ask, no they aren't zombies.""</strong>She let out a small chuckle before shrugging.<strong>""That would be pretty bad ass though....All except the brain eating part.""</strong>Pursing her lips for a moment she tilted her head to the side and glanced at Devin.<strong>""What about you sweetie....What type of fun and exciting power do you have?""</strong>Grinning softly Eve adjusted her sunglasses and looked at the young man."

Jason had a habit of using his selective hearing when he wanted to and right now was one of those times. So many voices in his head occasionally he had to tone out something, and generally it was the living. He listened as Cordelia told him that they needed to go out into the court yard and prepared to go outside. Looking back over at Layla when she brought up the size of the blade not being what counts and Jason just shook his head. She might actually be -almost- as damaged as him. As they prepared to leave the room and Layla saw Meaty Jason glanced over, hearing her ask if she could pet him. Feeling it might be rude to let the young woman get bitten in front of the headmistress he shook his head as he looked over at her.<strong>""I wouldn't""</strong>He shrugged slightly the proceeded to introduce himself. Her name made him tilt his head to the side. It was an interesting name to be sure.<br/><br/>As Layla began to speak about her scars Jason listened, looking at them as though they didn't bother him at all. He furrowed a brow at her comment about being a freak though and shook his head.<strong>""What I take offense to is the use of the word freak. Especially when people aren't freaks...There is only one freak in this school, and that is -me.-""</strong>As he made his way through the door Jason subconsciously brushed his hands along the side of his head, drawing attention to the electroshock therapy scars that were still healing. He had grown up hearing he was a freak for what he claimed and what he'd done. People like Layla seemed normal to him.<br/><br/>As he stepped outside Jason stopped in the doorway looking up towards the sun. Raising both of his hands up in the air to block his face from the rays he hissed at it, as if he were a vampire. Dropping his hands as quickly as he raised them to the air, Jason paused glancing around the law and each person as if he were sizing them up. He took his time looking at each person until his sight fell upon Devin. ~<em>He looks scared, and stressed...I wonder if I should tell him I have some of his blood already....or try to extract some now.</em>~ As soon as the thought crossed his mind Jason's gaze snapped back over his left shoulder.<strong>""Damnit mother, you win. There is time for murder later.""</strong>With that Jason moved out of the doorway a bit more so Layla could walk out the door past him extending his arm in a grandiose fashion as if to say 'after you.'<br/><br/>With a curt bow towards Layla, Jason glanced around again before skipping down the stairs singing<strong>""I'm the son of a thousand maniacs, I'm the son of a thousand maniacs.""</strong>The sentence continued to be repeated as Jason skipped around the yard. The skipping continued until Jason abruptly stopped next to a tree. Raising his arms up and taking a fighting stance Jason cocked his head to the side raising an eyebrow at the greenery.<strong>""Are you threatening me?""</strong>After throwing a couple punches at a long hanging branch, Jason stopped. Pointing at the tree he groaned a bit as a child would when they are called inside for dinner.<strong>""This fight will be continued.""</strong>Looking back towards everyone Jason remembered Cordelia wanted to talk about something. Knowing that he was going to likely be bored, but also knowing that he should listen, Jason made his way back up onto the porch leaning against the exterior wall to the left of the front door. All the while, keeping an eye on the tree."

He didn't know her very well but she was far from squeamish and found the idea of a franken pet utterly appealing. Even if it simply a stuffed piece to rather than a living dog. Layla nodded as Jason said she shouldn't pet his living skeleton of a dog. It was slightly disappointing but she understood none the less. Still she loved the dog, it was silly and she felt slightly dirty for it having such a inwardly reaction. Still the dog was fucking cool, and if he had such an ability Layla would probably want a pet finally.<strong>""No problem.""</strong>she said with a soft nod.<br/><br/>The look on Jason's face wasn't shock or disgust as he looked to her scars, that alone was a surprise...yet a pleasant one. But his comment made her chuckle softly, if he only knew how truly messed up she was. The through of how far she had gone wasn't an easily known fact.<strong>""Does that mean I've been called such wrongly for all these years?""</strong>she asked with a short chuckle,<strong>""Get to know me a bit better and you'll find you’re not. Though I give you a good lead with such interesting hobbies.""</strong>she said looking up to the scars on the side of his head. Having studied scars due to something she had wanted to do Layla realized they were from heat or electricity, and noted that for possibly asking him to tell her about it once he got to know her better.<br/><br/>She'd never be so bold to touch him without permission, as she rather fairly strikes out against anyone that would do it to her. In fact she had a certain assurance that had cause Cordelia to be upset with her from time to time. Layla simply believed if she was touched without permission she was allowed to do the same. Granted that usually didn't make the offending person nearly as happy as they had hoped. Then again some people found certain things more entertaining than others.<br/><br/>The react Jason had to the sun wasn't surprising; he did after all spend most of his time in the basement. But the sudden turning of his head and curing of his mother did cause her to tilt her head. Did he simply hear voices or was he really speaking with his mother spirit? The question was a valid one considering the situation they found themselves in. A soft bit of worried fluttered through her, but she reminded herself that even if the worst happened that it was something she could handle...at least that was what she told herself. Her thoughts pushed back as Jason moved from the doorway and extended his arm as if to say 'after you' the gesture was a first for her. Blinking she nodded and slipped past him, a groan coming from her the moment the sun stung her eyes.<strong>""Evil day glow ball.'</strong>she hissed lightly and shielded her eyes before stepping out into the yard.<br/><br/>Looking to those around her Layla felt the urge to vanish from site. Not because she was shy or anything so trivial, but because the idea of dealing with whining or nervous jittering annoyed her. Still she kept her thoughts to herself and remembered that all this was for the coven and that alone mattered enough for her to deal with just about anything. Jason's sudden singing caught her by surprise, his reaction and obviously crazy behavior actually got Layla to smile a soft bit of laughter coming from her.

The other girl witch was the rude one from earlier and another male. The power radiating off the male witch was frightening. Devin seemed so weak and so small compared to him. He flinched when the witch looked up at him. His mind caught different words like scared, blood, extract from him.

When asked Devin walked to the cauldron and picked the spot closet to Delia he couldn't focus on much but the sound of her voice. She handed him a small bag of herbs and started speaking in latin, then everyone started speaking in the language. D stared at his feet, having trouble focusing. His hands were shaking with a cold sweat. D thankful when the bag of herbs fell from his hands it went in the cauldron and he had to try several times to say the latin spell but it was quite upon leaving his lips. He felt delia's hands in his giving him strength to continue but it was hard to stay conscious let alone focused.

Listening to Cordelia speak, the mention of family nearly making her laugh. She couldn't even begin to think of the riff-raff around her as a family. Layla would never want something so disgustingly fake in her life again. But a coven, that was an idea she could get behind. They would not be her brother and sisters, no they'd be those meant to protect what remained of the heritage. Nowhere in that mess did it say she needed to actually like any of them. Theo was probably the closest thing she had to a friend, and even he probably hated her some days.<br/><br/>Without a word of protest Layla pushed off the tree and moved to join the circle of people. Her eyes scrunched as she regretted not stopping to grab her sunglasses. But that thought was easily pushed aside to as Cordelia began to explain the spells they were about to cast. Her breathing was slow and steady; the idea of preforming magic could scare some. But Layla felt at home with the strange energies that flowed through her body.<br/><br/>Stepping up she grabbed one of the herb packages and held it gently yet securely in her hands. Taking a deep breath Layla focused her energy as Cordelia had taught her long ago. Waiting for her turn she watched as each member of the coven stepped forward. Noticing Devin shrinking over to Theo again, knowing that was only going to end up being trouble, but at least it was Theo the boy was stalking and not her, she smirked and shook her head as she chanted with the group. The fog beginning to build and work its magic over the grounds as Layla stepped forward.<strong> ""Ex omnibus viribus tuis, quaesumus, Spiritus bonus die ac nocte...Ex omnibus viribus tuis, quaesumus, Spiritus bonus die ac nocte...Ex omnibus viribus tuis, quaesumus, Spiritus bonus die ac nocte....""</strong>she spoke with an elegant and ease flow as tossed her pouch into the mix and stabbed back into place, her eyes closing as she chanted and closed out distractions as they worked to cast the spell.<br/>"

He was still leaning again the wall as if he didn't have a care in the world. He smiled as Cordelia said they didn't have to like one another. That was good, Jason didn't truly like many people at all. Tolerate? Yes. Not have urges to kill or maim? Unlikely. Actually liking someone enough to call them a 'friend'...he had Meaty. Jason held back a chuckle when Cordelia referred to the group as his family though. He understood her reasoning behind the term, but Jason's family - his actual family, would have scared the shit out of most of the people here at this house. When Cordelia called for the group to form a circle, Jason got a mischievous grin on his face. Noting that Layla was having trouble with the 'day glow ball' he noticed the girl in the black dress, Eve, had sunglasses on her head. Walking by her he snatched them off of her head and tossed them to Layla with no remorse or care if it snagged in her hair, before getting up to the circle, licking both hands before holding them out to grab the hands of whoever was beside of him.<br/><br/>He watched as each person made their way up to the cauldron with their little bag of herbs, dropping it in and started to recite the incantation. Jason had seen this done before, when he was little. As he watched each person he made a observation about each of them. The girl in the black dress felt at home with spells, she was most likely from a family of witches herself. The bloody nose kid was paranoid and jumpy....like a rabbit. The other male knew what he was doing, so he was likely one of the kids who'd grown up in the coven home. Layla, well Layla looked like she enjoyed casting.<br/><br/>Once she walked back to the circle Jason moved forward,  pouch of herbs in hand as he focused. As the fog moved over the property Jason secretly liked the eerie feel it gave to everything. Dropping the bag into the cauldron Jason began to recite the incantation along with everyone else,<strong>""Ex omnibus viribus tuis, quaesumus, Spiritus bonus die ac nocte...Ex omnibus viribus tuis, quaesumus, Spiritus bonus die ac nocte...Ex omnibus viribus tuis, quaesumus, Spiritus bonus die ac nocte....""</strong>, before moving back into place rejoining the circle."

But there seems to as many males.'</em>It was one of many curious thoughts she had about this whole thing. She had no training, no practice. No knowledge other than the rambling of her grandmother and a couple of old dusty books. This was why she was here, and not at some arts school. She had power, gifts, and as much as it all scared her, she knew she needed to learn.<br/><br/>She steppe back out of the way from the others as the other two came out with the new boy. He immediately seemed odd, very odd, and indifferent from the rest. Perhaps that's why they had to go fetch him. Perhaps he was a slacker, like the football jocks at her high school who would kick back, skip class, and bully other kids and thought themselves cool for it. Either way, he made her more nervous the others. Actually, she was beginning to kind of like Eve and Theo. Devin seemed quiet and jumpy. Perhaps he was as new to it all as she. Layla unnerved her, but she expected maybe she was just grumpy. Ms Goode seemed calm and unifying, which Cadance liked.<br/><br/>She listened with open eyes as Goode spoke. She wanted them all to do a spell? This immediately made Cadance nervous, as if she wasn't already. She had never done spells before. Well, she had tried a couple of small and innocent little things she found in one of the old books. But this sounded big and serious. It must be if it required them all. Or perhaps that was part of the unifying factor, having them all do it together. Like a family cooking dinner together. Either way, she trusted Goode as the adult in the situation. She trusted the woman to not give her a task too difficult without explaining. Teachers, after all, were there to guide you.<br/><br/>She took the little package and looked at it curiously, she also sniffed it lightly. However, that caused her to sneeze. It was a little and controlled sneeze. A cute little<span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 7pt;"">'Ah-chee'</span>behind her forearm. But little and cute aside, it made her blush terribly in embarrassment. She kept still and watched the others after that, until it got to her turn.<br/><br/>When the task finally circled around to her, she had regained some confidence. It was a simple enough task. Put the packet in the pot, and say the words with the others. She stepped forward a little nervously and dropped her herbs in. Then immediately hopped back half expecting the whole thing to explode or something. It didn't, which caused her to blush again in em bar same and duck her head slightly as she took her place back in the circle and chanted with the others, her voice soft but loud enough to be heard.<br/><br/><strong>""Ex omnibus viribus tuis, quaesumus, Spiritus bonus die ac nocte...<br/>Ex omnibus viribus tuis, quaesumus, Spiritus bonus die ac nocte...<br/>Ex omnibus viribus tuis, quaesumus, Spiritus bonus die ac nocte....""</strong>"

Getting up slowly Eve brushed off her dress then moved over to Devin and Theo extending a a hand to both of them, figuring she could likely help them both up at the same time. Looking around to everyone else it was evident Eve was concerned about each of them as well. Looking over to Cordelia she raised an eyebrow.<strong>""That's normal right?""</strong>She wasn't sure if something had made the spell go wrong...Perhaps the sneeze? She wasn't entirely sure."

The bad vibes he was getting across the cauldron was overwhelmingly alarming and he couldn't fathom the evil that radiated off of the dark witch. As he chanted he felt a little more calm and safer. His eyes were down to his feet, staring blankly at the grass. His hands hand gripping Cordelia's harder and apparently Theodore's (since everyone just assumes his a hoe, lol jk). He didn't even notice he was holding theodore's hand and maybe that's why he didn't sense the cauldron making a fuss before it shot a concussive blast of energy outward around the property. The blast knocked D off his feet and backwards quite away. He landed on his back and his head collided with the hard ground.<br/><br/>D let a little gasp when his head hit the ground. It hurt bad. Devin didn't think of himself as so delicate but the pain was pretty bad. The blast was really strong and surprising. He must of been out of it for a second or two cause he missed when Cordelia asked if everyone was okay and all of a sudden Eve was walking to him and Theodore he was next to him extending a hand to each. Devin looked past Eve for a second or two and noticed a blue tint around the property. He quickly got to his feet himself and walked past Eve a little and looked all around. It worked! The spell actually was working. Devin felt a little drained from the witchcraft but was fascinated that the spell had actually taken hold.<br/><br/>Devin felt different somehow. He didn't feel scared, he didn't feel weak, even though the spell was draining, he felt safe and strong. Powerful even. Then he realized that his mind wasn't being bombarded with thoughts like always, it was like he was with Theodore but he wasn't touching him. He looked around at the witches getting up and he couldn't read there minds. He quickly tried and reached out to a few and began to hear their thoughts again but he pulled back and they all went to a soft whisper, barely audible. wow. Magick was most definitely real. Devin looked over at Cordelia, like he knew she knew what had happened, and smile. Was this the spell being not only a protection for the academy but a protection of the witches from themselves. Devin felt in control, more than he ever had. The voices in his head were getting louder but he could push them back or pull away with less force than he used too. He didn't know how long this gift would last but he was grateful for it, even if it only lasted five more minutes or a whole week. It was nice.<br/><br/>Then it dawned on D that the dark witch was across from him. He scowled at him. He didn't trust him. He rubbed his nerves the wrong way. A quite part of Devin's mind wanted to give the witch a chance, to be his friend, the stronger and wiser part of his mind laughed and wouldn't give the the time of day, and a new part of Devin's mind was intrigued by the magick and the power he possessed. Witchcraft was new, scary and fun, and he wanted more. Needed more.<br/><br/>Devin quickly grabbed his stomach as he realized he was hungry, almost starving. He hadn't eaten in a long while, and most of the morning was taking up by Cordelia's lessons. He wondered when she was going to teach him new spells or other witchy things soon. After the spell he felt better, magick made him feel better and his mind more clearer and here are a few things he was sure of:<br/>So far he only liked three witches not including Codelia in the house.<br/>He didn't trust the Dark witch; Jason.<br/>He was going to give this being a witch business a good try, he didn't mind his first ever spell and wanted more.<br/>and he was hungry. very hungry.<br/><br/>All of a sudden something pricked at the corner of D's head. He wanted to go to the attic. He didn't know why and he didn't understand. He just knew he wanted to go up there and when he went up there he'd know why. It was weird, but he wanted to go alone. His eyes looked at everyone around him and his eyes rested on Eve. He smiled at her, she was nice, feeling bad realizing her blew off her kind gesture, knew he'd have to make it up to her another way.  Devin tried to ignore looking at Theodore but he couldn't the man was too handsome and to nice. He wanted to talk to him, alone. But wasn't sure about anything with him. He couldn't read him. It was frustrating but he left it alone. He figured if he wanted to talk he'd talk to him. Devin walked back to his spot in the circle and looked at Delia waiting further instruction."

Layla blinked as Jason suddenly skipped over and plucked the sunglasses right off of the princess's head and handed them to her.

It felt as if something was different, the world for a moment held its breath. The wind swirled and it seemed as if something was ready to strike out against them. When it finally released it, it came forth in a wave of energy that literally struck out against them. The wave crashed against Layla's midsection and sent her stumbling back.<br/><br/>Layla tried to catch her footing be failed and fell back against the tree she had just been leaning against. Her shoulder stuck against the dark wood as she fell to her backside, the bark scrapping along her pale skin and drawing a bit of blood. She hissed at the ache suddenly rocked through her shoulder from the sudden impact, her left hand reaching up to her right shoulder as if to sooth the pain from it. Cordelia's voice caught her attention, a soft groan coming from Layla as she pushed to her feet. Ignoring the pain Layla nodded,<strong>""Yeah fine.""</strong>she said feeling an odd knot of energy within her for some reason.<strong>""What was that?""</strong>she asked looking Cordelia sure that the sudden energy wasn't part of the protection spell.<br/>"

She hadn't expected that. Did that mean something went wrong? That they had somehow messed up. She laid flat on her back for a few moments and worried over that. She couldn't help but worry. She had great concern for life in general. But laying there against the ground for a few moments calmed her. The earth calmed her. Perhaps because her special ability was tied to it. Perhaps because she felt as long as the ground was beneath her, she could be strong. She wasn't entirely sure.

Of course if Devin wanted too, he could easily decipher the words into English, but he didn't care to know the workings of the mad witch. Not now anyway. He wanted him to stop talking. Though as he glanced at Cordelia he saw that she wasn't too fond of his insanity either. Before he could finish, however, D decided to enjoy his present internal silence in peace and decided to remove himself from the situation, mentally... He thought about Theodore. How he held him for the brief moment and how nice it had felt.<br/><br/>Suddenly thoughts started popping back in Devin's head left and right, not very subtly but not all once either. D didn't realized he had closed his eyes but when opening them back up he realized that the witches were seemingly dismissed and he decided to go back into the house and keep his mind busy so he didn't have to deal with the thoughts of the other witches. Even being here for three days or so, he still would be in awe every time he set foot into the house. The decor of the white house made it all feel pure and clean. Devin went up the grand staircase and up into his room. He shut the door behind him and started stripping off the shirt Theodore let him borrow. The smell still lingered on his skin and he didn't mind in the slightest. Devin decided that he would wash the shirt with his other ""dirty"" clothes and quickly threw on a black shirt to go along with his already black attire. Devin then grabbed his laundry basket and put Theodore's shirt in with his clothes and proceeded to go down the grand stairs and down another flight of stairs to the basement.<br/><br/>Once in the basement he couldn't remember which door belong to the laundry room. He took a wild guess and chose the door to the far left and luckily it was the right room. He didn't know what the other basement rooms held, and he didn't want to know. Once inside he started a load of laundry and set off to the kitchen to fix himself something to eat. Upon arriving in the kitchen D knew he didn't want to make too big of a mess just to feed himself so he made himself a sandwich with a banana to help hold him over for awhile whilst the laundry was being washed. Once he finished eating, he cleaned his dishes and made his way back down the stairs to dry the load of laundry. Again leaving the laundry while he ventured out of the basement. Upon arriving on the first floor landing, the thought of going to the attic made it's way too his mind again and bewitched his curiosity as Devin, began to march his way up the stairs to find the opening of the attic. It didn't take long for D to find the hallway with the string drooping down indicating a secret ladder up to the attic was in front of him. Devin went over and tried reaching for the string to pull it down, but he was unsuccessful. He tried jumping, but that too didn't work for his short stature. Giving up, he turned about to leave to go back down to the basement and wait for the clothes to dry. A faint creaking noise was heard behind Devin and when he turned to see find out where the noise came from his heart dropped. The ladder to the attic was opened in front of him. ""Hello...?"" Devin asked aloud, his voice softer than he wanted but the question was posed with no answer. He asked again a bit louder with no response. Spooked, he lost his curiosity to venture into the attic and started to turn around again when he started hearing a banging noise coming from the attic and down the ladder. He covered his face thinking something was going to strike him, but when know blow came he looked before him and saw nothing. On the ground in front of him was a thick heavy dark brown book. That had Latin written on the cover. ""Oraculum"". Devin bent down to retrieve the book and get a closer look at it. Suddenly the ladder began to fold upon itself and shut itself back up into the ceiling. Completely freaked out Devin hurried back down the stairs to the basement. Book in hand.<br/><br/>The dyer buzzer went off as soon as he entered the room which made him jump a little. He made a mental note to ask Cordelia if she knew about the house being haunted or anything. He placed the book on top of the washer and began to fold the warm lavender scented laundry and place them back into his basket. Finished, he made his way back to his room to put the clothes away and he took Theodore's shirt and placed it on his bed and opened the book to read the contents. Flipping through the pages he noticed it was some sort of spell book or something he closed the book and tucked it under his armpit to read later, he was going to go give Theodore his shirt back.<br/><br/>Reaching Theodore's room he noticed the door was open and he peaked inside and saw him reading. Devin tried to open his own mind to receive Theodore's thoughts and of course nothing was to follow. He gently knocked on the door before entering, ""Theodore, I just wanted to thank you again for helping me earlier and I wanted to return your shirt. Don't worry I just washed it soo, yeah... Thanks."" Devin placed the shirt on his bed and turned to leave.<br/>"

Blame it on his looks, his charm, the witchiness in veins or all of the mentioned. He is wonderful. And that is exactly what Devin felt when Theodore grabbed his hand to keep him from running away from him; wonderful. Though the subtle forcefulness of the way Theodore handled him was kind of scary though, he detected a bit of anger laid dormant in him, but maybe it was just a thought. Devin almost forgot about the voices of others in his head had disappeared upon the touch. His voice like velvet in his ear, the way he spoke was relaxing yet sensual. All these emotions were very new with Devin. Upon grabbing Devin, Theodore had frighten him and he had dropped his spell book, but he didn't even notice.<br/><br/>""Theodore... How-..."" Devin tried asking how he is able to do that, but part of him didn't want to know. Part of him was secretly afraid it was all a trick to keep him here at the house, of course D would not let himself think about such things about Theodore. Since the questions D had about Theodore were not being answered telepathically he would have to ask the old fashion way. Talking. Socially Devin is not that advanced, he never really needed to be. Most time he found it difficult trying to hear spoken word over one said mentally. But he's not totally helpless.<br/><br/>Though his power had been growing throughout the years Devin never felt more human, more basic, more relaxed when he was in physical contact with Theodore. That contact had him ignore the question that was asked for a few moments while he enjoyed the silence. ""I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude, I jus-um. I just didn't want to bother you. I saw that you were reading... D looked up at Theodore's adorable face and shakes his head. ""Okay how do you do that? I mean you have to know about my curse and how I can..."" Devin looks around suddenly self conscious ""...Read people's thoughts,"" He whispered. ""But I can't read yours, how can you block me? How do you make it all stop. Please I have to know. I, maybe, uh, I just think maybe if I knew how to make it stop than I wouldn't have to be here and I wouldn't have to be around you feeling the thoughts that I do. I don't even make a good witch. I can't control the one thing I can do and I don't know any spells nor can I do anything. So I can't be much help to the cause or the school or whatever. It's just this burden that has been a part of my life since I can remember. You make it manageable, you make it all stop. And I just want to know, how, "" Devin gripped Theodore's hand hard. ""I don't want to struggle anymore or be in the pain. I want to be normal, I never was normal. You make me feel this certain way I've never felt before, and I understand that I shouldn't because you're like a head special witch or something, it's just everything is happening fast, and I'm losing myself and my mind. I'm just...""<em>Scared</em>.<br/><br/>Devin kept his rambling going, sometimes looking at Theodore and sometimes looking around the room because some of the things he was uncomfortable saying. He was glad he said it and embarrassed. Why did he have to go and say those things and probably creep him out. D pulled his hand from Theodore's grip and looked down at his shoes. He's probably going to think him a super freak now, he keeps rambling when he's around, he has freaky powers, and he is odd. That's probably what Theodore's thinking. Gosh! Devin just wanted to cry. He always messes everything up."

First he was a flustered and chatty, now he became all shy, embarrassed and nervous. Especially when Theodore rose from his chair and became closer to him. It felt like the walls in Theodore's room had eyes and the eyes were everyone in the coven. The coven would see Devin as a freak among the ""freaks"" and cast him out for having such an intrusive power and for being odd, maybe not as odd as the evil witch, but still odd. Devin tried to mentally scan to see if anyone was near by or could here his little rant to Theodore, but he couldn't get anything. It was then that he realized that he was still holding on to Theodore's hand and he awkwardly let it go.<br/><br/>Upon receiving his gift back he tried once again to give a mental sweep around the house and found out they were indeed alone mentally and physically. He looked up into Theodore's sweet face and realized he hadn't been freaked out that he had mind reading powers, maybe because he had no personal thoughts or opinions about D or maybe it was because Theodore had the ability to block his curse or maybe both. D wonder if the others would be so kind if they knew what he could do. Hopefully he could get a new power so his mind reading power would never come into question or better yet he could loose his power. There had to be a spell for that, witches can do anything, right?<br/><br/>""Sure, as long as it's safe, I'll try it.""<br/><br/>Devin liked Theodore's company. The few minutes he's been with him were always pleasant and he didn't want to lose that over some silly stupid crush. So Devin decided right here and now that he would try to stop liking Theodore like that, he knew he might do something inappropriate or make Theodore uncomfortable if he continues liking him. D didn't want to lose whatever friendship was being built over something so meaningless and he wasn't getting any extra signals that made Theodore seem like he liked him more than a friend so he shall leave it alone. And if he can't he sure there was a spell for that too.<br/><br/>Devin was really interested on what Theodore wanted to try. The more he thought about magic things, the more he was interested, but not in his mind reading abilities anything else but that. Devin never really paid attention to the thoughts entering his head he usually spent most of his life ignoring them or trying to in most cases. He never fathomed that this ability could be beneficial to him and others."

Theodore led Devin down to his bed and Devin blushed trying dispel embarrassing thoughts. Devin sat down looking at his feet wondering what was going to happen.<em>Are we going to do a spell? Shouldn't we light a candle?</em>Devin thought when suddenly Theodore grabbed Devin's hand. That touched startled D, he's not used to the instant silence. Devin bit his lip and looked at Theodore noticing his eyes were closed, he wondered if he should do the same. This was all knew to him and he didn't know what to do. D guessed he should close his eyes too and accept whatever happens, and hopefully, maybe, Theodore will give him some sort of instruction. Devin sat there and started to enjoy the silence, focusing on it, then he tried to feel where it was coming from. Trying to listen to the soundless-ness of his mind. It felt like he was blocked up mentally. Like someone put a stopper on his mind so he was deaf mentally. All of a sudden it felt as if the stopper was being pushed.<br/><br/>Devin felt Theodore's hand begin to shake and he opened his eyes thinking that Theodore wanted his attention. Then D felt something envelop him. It felt weird, static-y and alive. He tried looking around but he didn't see anything he just felt it. And then it came flooded down on him. Theodore started talking, but his lips weren't moving.<em>Oh my gosh! I can hear Theodore's thoughts!</em>Devin started hearing Theodore's current thoughts about his concentration and what he was visualizing is what Devin felt. This was crazy cool. Devin closed his eyes and pushed deeper in Theodore's mind and started getting more about how Theodore felt about his appearance, and how he wanted to hug him and... Kiss him? Devin's heart melted. He tried pushing more into Theodore's mind and got flashes of his past. Theodore as a boy, and him manipulating fire than all of sudden the images were gone. The stopper was back in place and when Theodore let go of Devin the stopper disappeared and it was just Theodore mind that was blocked and everything was back to normal, well, as normal as a teenage witch could be.<br/><br/>When Devin opened his eyes and he was about to speak when he noticed Theodore's nose was bleeding and him apologizing to him. All of a sudden Theodore jumped out of bed and went to his nightstand to get a cloth to clean up his nose. Devin popped right behind him.<em>Stupid! You shouldn't have pushed so hard in his mind! He got the nose bleed because of you. You hurt him!</em>Devin yelled at himself mentally. ""I am so sorry Theodore I shouldn't have pushed your mind, you're not used to it. Heck I'm not used to it. Don't apologize you did nothing wrong it was all my fault. Here let me see. "" D moved in front of Theodore and took the cloth from his hand. D used his left hand to hold Theodore's face as he used his right to clean up the blood before it dried on his face. Devin bit his bottom lip as he concentrated on making sure there was no blood left on the handsome witch's face. As he used his hand to gently turn Theodore's head to examine if there was any blood left he couldn't help to replay the thoughts he heard in his head and he blushed being so close to him and touching his face. He dropped his hands immediately. ""Good as new, and you do have a new power, you can block my thoughts, you somehow let me inside and I heard..."" Devin wondered how much he should tell him. Not wanting to embarrass him by telling him he heard how he felt and what he wanted to do. ""...You concentrating, and saw your visualization. It was crazy. How did you do that? It's like now that you identified it I can feel the block or wall around you mind that won't let me in. It's crazy.""<br/><br/>Devin couldn't help but to smile. Theodore is amazing, and crazy powerful. He can manipulate fire and cancel his power out. Can he block other people from using their powers? And if Theodore can block people's powers is he not affected by magic?<br/>"

He let his shield down or put his shield up or however it works Devin didn't care. He was kissing Theodore, Theodore was kissing him. He couldn't even pay attention to his own thoughts let alone focus on Theodore's thoughts that were rushing through his head. Devin had a hungry in him that was being answered and he wanted more. Devin wrapped his arms around Theodore's neck and passionately kissed him. His eyes close all he could think about is how he didn't want this to end and that it felt really good, and really right.<br/><br/>Since he couldn't focus on any thoughts he just sort of got feelings and phrases from Theodore as they started making out. He laughed softly in Theodore's mouth as he started thinking about Layla and his self consciousness about his skill. But suddenly Theodore started pulling away and Devin wasn't having that. He didn't know where this lust had came from but he let it consume him. He pulled Theodore's head back to his mouth and continued the kissing. He let go of Theodore's head to grab his hands and wrap them around his back before wrapping his arms around Theodore's head once again. Pressing himself closer to the strong witch's body Devin started to slip Theodore some tongue. He hadn't kissed anyone since he was a young child and he never french kissed anyone before, but he was doing extremely well for his first time and it felt too good to stop. It was all this euphoric high that jumbled his thoughts, emotions, and his whole body tingled and felt like it was on vibrate.<br/><br/>Suddenly snapping back to his senses he felt the thoughts of Theodore's mind, the thoughts of his past. Images of how Theodore felt after his parent's death. Devin didn't feel like kissing anymore and the lusty hungry vanished. Embarrassed, ashamed, and slightly frightened D let go of Theodore and stepped back. ""I-I am so so very sorry Theodore. I do-don't know what came o-over me. Again thank you for letting me borrow your shirt."" D's face started turning red as he rushed out of Theodore's room. Forgetting his book, and trying to forget what he had done.<br/><br/>Devin made it out to the hallway before he forgot where he was going. He didn't know what he was doing, so he quickly walked to his room and shut the door and collapsed on his bed.<em>What did I just do? I am so stupid, what's wrong with me?!?</em>Devin tossed and turned on top of his bed completely and utterly embarrassed for forcing himself on Theodore. Devin's little body was getting tired of tossing and turning that he just laid there looking up at the ceiling in his room."

His powers were in full swing but not as unbearable as they often are now. He thought this one girl he had liked, like him too and with the help of his ability he was able to assume correctly. Unfortunately for him despite being an adorable child the other children thought of him as a freak and one day when D got the courage to talk to said girl at lunch. She embarrassed him in front of everyone in the lunch room about how anyone could ever love a freak and no one will ever love him because of who he was. Devin knew she was lying but the fact she had said it, and in front of everyone had hurt. Bad. So after that day D thought love and relationships to be only a surface value, because even if a person felt one way about another didn't mean they were going to do anything about it.<br/><br/>Thoughts of the past and thoughts of the recent present plagued Devin's mind as lied on his bed. Hearing footsteps and rapping on his door, Devin reached out with his senses and when he felt a missing presence in the spot where their should be a person, he knew who it was. He knew he couldn't avoid Theodore forever, but he didn't think he'd see him so soon. His face flushed when he went to go open the door. Once opening the door his face shot down to the ground, embarrassment kept his eyes from looking at Theodore's. Everyone is right, he is a freak and the sooner he finally realized maybe the simpler his life would be.<br/><br/>Theodore had came to him bringing back his book. This boy was giving Devin a toothache and he couldn't stop it. The thoughts of him making out with this strong man and his body pressed up against his own made D's face flush a brighter red. Devin's trembling hand reached for the book quickly as he muttered a rushed thanks. He used the book as a distraction to walk into the room and put the book on his bed. He didn't know what to say to Theodore and part of him wanted him to go away, another part wanted to disappear and the rest of him wanted Theodore to ravish him. He put his face in his hands and waited for the assault he was probably going to get from him."

The sun gleaming in with a peachy ray of light stretching across his bare porcelain torso. Peacefully breathing, his head turned somewhat toward the light. A fair amount of his brows tilting in a submissive manner, eyes twitching under their lids showing a minor amount of irritation from the light trying to wake him. That fair skin along his angelic face glowing as beads of light bled through the lacey sheer curtains within his room. Smooth and chiseled upper abs and chest exposed, the white fabric of his sheets strung across his body in odd flowing romantic appearances reminiscent of Greek fabrics strung across cherubs in some odd artistic way. Fingers lustfully dragging along his naturally frosted platinum hair, combing the silken glossy locks as he arched his back a fair amount.  The beads of his odd rosary spilling down his chest.<br/><br/>The frosty looking boy's lids still tightening and showing signs of changing expression. Dreaming, sinking far below blue waters into the dark  with the rosary webbed between his fingers. His own thoughts crystal clear, lower lip quivering as he felt a brief chill. The Nordic and Baltic beauty's pouty lips, pink and pure looking even as they parted. About to yawn it appeared, however a shudder. Impossibly light blue eyes glittering with a dim hint off sorrow. Raising up in his bed at a slow pace and teasing the front of his hair (http://pics.haircutshairstyles.com/img/photos/full/2010-08/mens_modern_haircut_with_bangs478.jpg) out of habit, keeping the nearly white strands swept to the side across his forehead  and the shorter sides forming a stylish and modelesque appearance. Raising out of bed, his bare bottom not taking long to get covered. Never risking the possibility of being caught naked on his first day, he'd walk towards the dark wooden chest and pull it open with a rather bored and unamused expression. Glancing towards the window and slinking a pair of underwear on as his eyes trailed across the amount of accessories he had already messily set up on top of the drawers.<br/><br/>Before long he had slunk himself into a fitted black cotton cardigan (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RfbvU7Ih2rc/TAxLEl2QknI/AAAAAAAAADY/1qubUd1fJ1s/s1600/black-cardigan.jpg) that didn't really require an undershirt, or at least not to Surua. The thin cotton material and the warmth of the U.S. was something he was slowly getting used to. Exposing a small amount of his chest, allowing the black and silver rosary to hang with that upside down onyx cross along his chest. The small portrait of the virgin Mary along the onyx bead that connected all the pieces together done in black and white as well. All the beads small and black with silver accents, gothic and English looking in style.  A pair of white skinny jeans snug along his lower body, fitted to his legs. Not even bothering to quite put on real shoes, but instead just a pair of black and simple loafers to wear around the house.  Turning around quickly just to blink in confusion repeatedly upon seeing Cordelia.<br/><br/>Surua hadn't gotten much of a chance to talk with her, but it seemed she was a minor amount rushed to get through this entire thing that she was doing and had to inform others. The blonde stood there, blinking even for a few moments after. Was this a competition of sorts? Being Scandinavian, losing a competition wasn't going to happen if Surua had anything to say about it. A single brow lifted, a bit cold in his expression as he exited his room and made his way down the steps to get to the dining room. Though, in truth he wasn't sure if he was competing or just watching by how she had worded everything? Or perhaps on his own behalf, not that he'd like to admit it - he wasn't that great with English as he thought he was. He wouldn't admit it though, a prideful stride in his step downstairs and around the corner. Before long he could see Cordelia at that large table at the head chair. At this point knowing not much about the woman and definitely not knowing what this test or game was for or about.<br/><br/>Surua pulled a seat out not far from Cordelia. Leaving one chair space in between them at her left side. Hands folding once scooted in and his eyes lingering briefly towards the door way. Not really knowing much of what to say and being a bit too confident and full of himself to ask any questions that he assumed he'd be finding out shortly. Allowing a few digits below his chin as he stared and waited with her, he'd not really spoken to anyone outside of family for quite some time. It wasn't evident at this moment if he had somehow developed shyness or slight social anxiety out of no where or he was just arrogant."

Change hadn't so much come to Gabriel's life as compley turn it upside down and inside out. It had taken mere moments for the gust of wind to take his stepfather in the chest and toss him out the window, thus ending the abusive relationship he had entertained with Gabriel for more than the past decade. Yet these few moments lasted like a life time, and Gabriel saw the action picture perfect. Every little piece of shattered glass, the way his shirt flapped in the breeze, the surprise in his voice and the pain on his face from crashing through the window. Everything was clear and would remain so, burned on his retinal lenses.<br/><br/>When he heard the noise of the landing he just bolted. Gabriel didn't pause to grab some supplies, he didn't grab a coat or something else. He just started running. He was the prime suspect, especially if his mother testified when she wasn't stoned. Ofcourse the police wouldn't believe a gust of wind tossed the man, but rather the tall yet ghastly thin young man. When he was done running he had set himself down in a diner, trying to reclaim some sense in his thoughts to form the next phase of his battle plan. In that booth, a man had appeared and offered him a way out. He called himself a teacher at some school that could teach him to control his ability. Gabriel had agreed to come with the man, since it was a possible way out of the hands of the police.<br/><br/>It took them a rather lengthy drive, in which Gabriel wondered if he could possibly do that wind-thing again, before they arrived at an ancient appearing mansion. The events and emotions of the day had drained him and he barely remembered how long the drive took or how he got to a bed. All he cared about was sleeping. When he woke up, he felt rejuvenated yet his head felt heavy. When Gabriel sat up, still rather groggy, he looked about and noticed that the room he was in had several pieces of furniture, including a dresser. It wasn't his, yet he still dared to sneak a quick peek inside of it and see if there was perhaps something his size. He pulled out some fresh underwear and a black track suit, with grey-ish accents and stripes on them. He made a note to apologise to whomever owned these clothes.<br/><br/>Feeling adventurous, he decided to get out of the room. The first thing of a person he saw was the back of a young man as he was finding his way about the mansion. Gabriel ran after him, hoping he could score some information about this place. With quick strides of his long legs at a running pace he was quickly greeted by a large room, containing a massive table and two attendants. A guy about his own age and an older woman. He greeted the two of them with a grin, wide enough to go from ear to ear.<br/><br/>""Sooo ... is this seat taken?"" he said when he held the top of the chair furthest from the woman and took a seat, letting out a sigh of relief. ""Otherwise now it is."""

She had refused to go upstairs just yet, her sleep was filled with a nightmare that refused to die. She woke up clutching to her blankets and holding them as if they were some shield. Stupid wishful thinking on her part, Layla knew only her powers could protect her. It was part of the reason she pushed so hard to master and grow them. But that was something she shared with now one, only Cordelia knew of how twisted her past had made her.<br/><br/>She killed the time with music and the spreading of paint over the stone walls of the basement. It was hers to do with as she wished; at least that was what she made of it. Jason had gone to a separate house on the property due to his powers. Layla didn't think it was necessary, then again not everyone was ok with having the walking dead roam through the house. The few small windows that graced the basement walls were open to allow the paint fumes to escape. Her brush working over the rough wall as she brought the imagery (http://images4.alphacoders.com/124/124506.jpg) within her mind into being.<br/><br/>Only when she felt that soft charge of energy did she stop, it wasn't wildly know but you could feel the energy of any spell if you took the time to understand what you were feeling. Layla looked around just as Cordelia popped into her room to tell her of the meeting in the dining room. She glared at the woman as she invaded her room but simply nodded and moved to get dressed in something besides her pajamas before heading upstairs.<br/><br/>Moving into the dining area Layla saw some of the newer arrival already sitting at the massive table with Cordelia,<strong>""Hey.""</strong>was all she said before taking a seat next to the older woman. Leaning back her hoodie fell open and revealed the tank she wore underneath. Reaching back Layla pulled her straight razor from the back of her pants and began to clean her nails with the very sharp looking blade.<strong>""I guess I didn't miss the good bits yet.""</strong>she said not really glancing up.<strong>""Granted being here before Theo is a bit surprising.""</strong>she half smirked and wondered if he had found himself a boy toy to distract himself with. Devin had certainly attached himself to Theo, it was...disturbing to say the least. Glancing up finally she looked to the newer faces,<strong> ""I'm Layla by the way.</strong>"" she glanced to Cordelia and gave her a look of See...I'm behaving before looking to the others sat at the table.<br/>"

Even the reunion with Cordelia had been less then warmhearted, she felt he'd abandoned her and the kids, and rightly so.  He'd left to finish college leaving both the coven and the state. Now with a doctorate in psychology  he had returned home to Robichaux's Academy. He had planned on coming back to begin with, but when Jackson called and said there were even more children at the school that he could help Deacon returned home the next day. He'd spent almost a week in the house hidden, with the only person knowing about his presence being Cordelia, watching the students and getting an idea of their personalities.<br/><br/>Deacon dreaded today because he wasn't sure how his homecoming would be met with when it came to Theo and Layla. They both had been teens when he left, and he'd always hated that he'd had to leave them. For as much of a monster as Deacon saw himself at times it was the fondness he felt for the two of them as well as Cordelia and Jackson that helped him realize he wasn't as far gone as he often thought.<br/><br/>Slipping from his bed, where he'd been reading one of the student's files, he moved to his bag and pulled out his clothes for the day. He'd been staying in the attic, but today he'd be moving to an actual room and suggesting Jason return to the interior of the school instead of staying outside in a shed. He'd give the boy the attic, as it would be the best suited room for him in the house. Finally slipping his clothes on Deacon took a deep breath and made his way down the stairs from the attic to the door at the bottom that had remained locked so that no one could sneak upstairs and find him. Layla had a horrid habit of exploring the house when she was younger and he suspected it hadn't changed.<br/><br/>Walking through the halls Deacon glanced around until he heard the movement in the dining room. Smirking he made his way in and looked around.<strong>""Cordelia I do love what you've done with the place.""</strong>He looked over at Theo and smiled giving a friendly nod before looking over to Layla and smiling. He made his way over to where she was sitting and took the chair two down from her moving it back away from the table and towards the wall. Walking over to Cordelia and placing his hands on her shoulders as he gestured to the chair with a jerk of his head before leaning down and whispering in her ear. ""For Jason. I'll sit beside Layla in case, but after some of the reading I've been doing, I think sitting him near her but away from the table might be best. From what I can tell they get along and don't desire to stab one another. I'll sit over there to so there is an adult close by if need be."" Giving her a light shoulder squeeze Deacon backed away and smiled down at one of his oldest friends.<strong>""You look lovely today by the way.""</strong>He truly did hope she could forgive him, but he knew it would take time, a bit of flattery wouldn't hurt the forgiveness process though.<br/><br/>Glancing over to Theo he smiled.<strong>""I'm optimistic for the events of today Theo if your 'how are we' question included me. By the way, it's nice to see you.""</strong>Looking over at Layla as he moved to sit next to her Deacon spotted her shirt and chuckled.<strong>""Your shirt...I like it.""</strong>Pulling out the chair next to her he sat down and smiled.<strong>""It's nice to see you as well.""</strong>He knew that Layla would be the more likely of the two students to be upset with him, but he still had to try. Looking at the other two young men he smiled. Pointing a finger at each as he spoke<strong>""Gabriel...""</strong>pointing to the boy with almost white hair he continued,<strong>, and Surua I presume. I'm Dr. Deacon Valentine. Beyond that I should probably let Cordelia give my official introduction when everyone else gets in here.""</strong><br/><br/>Turning his head to the doorway he awaited Jason's entrance. Once he was in the room Deacon would instruct him where he would be sitting for the duration of the class."

Then two other boys - these were<em>boys</em>- about her age, one with strange white hair, the other with brown. Of course, she had heard something about other students coming in. But she hadn't thought they would be here, today!<br/><br/>Her eyes went wide from the sight of them, and all at once she was doubly nervous. She looked over the room again very quickly. Then came a stumbling greeting directed towards all. ""Er, uh, good morning."" She sputtered out shyly. Then, not knowing what to do, but seeing everyone seated, swept into a chair at the back of the room, near the brown haired new boy."

He smiled and stretched his lean from like a lone ally cat, the sound of what could be mistaken for a purr left him as he slowly woke up to great the day.<br/><br/>Slipping from bed he walked over to the window and opened it to get some fresh air it in. A soft chuckle coming from him as an elderly couple passed by the house, the older man looked shocked but his wife kind of smirked as Jackson waved to the pair. The husband voiced something he couldn't hear and covered his wife's eyes and glared at Jackson as they passed.<strong>""Aww she was just enjoying the view.""</strong>he sighed knowing some people could be such kill joys. Still he had an interesting day ahead of him, the practice for the real tests began to day, but most of all Deacon was back and he knew there were a few that wouldn't take it as lightly.

Any lesson she could, she would gladly attend to further her studies. She found herself wondering what other students would take advantage of the opportunity. Quickly, but meticulously Eve chose her outfit for the day then proceeded to do her makeup and hair. Layla had teased Eve about being a 'princess' and perhaps to an extent Layla had been right. Eve was extremely high maintenance and she was very aware of that fact herself. It didn't mean she wasn't approachable though. To be a good Coven leader one had to be sociable. It's what her mother and family had drilled into her brain before sending her to Robichaux's.<br/><br/>Once the brunette had finished getting ready she grabbed her phone and purse making her way down to the dining room. Her strides in the hall clicking against the floor in a determined beat as her heels met the floor with every step.

The other older guy looked like he had fuzzy caterpillars attached to his face, but the one talking certainly didn't.<br/><br/>Eve smiled at Cordelia and gave a nod.<strong>""Sorry for taking so long to get down here Ms. Goode.""</strong>Giving a soft wave to both Cadance and Layla Eve glanced over at the new boys.<strong>""I'm Eve,""</strong>she stated with the simple wave of her hand as an introduction before making her way over to sit down next to Jackson.

That was until Cordelia popped in all Death Eater style, which made Jason smile. Once she left he quickly gathered his things and whistled for Meaty then headed into the house to wash up, as he was covered in formaldehyde and blood. The dog followed to the house and Jason slipped in unnoticed, or so he had thought. After washing up Jason got dressed before styling his hair and shaving. Finally ready he made his way to the dining hall where everyone was said to be gathering.<br/><br/>Headed towards the room, with his pet trailing behind him, Jason started singing a song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLAONvLkp14) he had found himself rather fond of the past few days, and the sounds of his voice echoed through the halls into the room where everyone was sitting. His voice boomed through the halls as well as the sounds of his shoes and cane against the floor.<em><strong>*Click Click...Tap*</strong></em>As suddenly as the noises from the hall started though they stopped once Jason got to the doors of the dining room.<br/><br/>With his cane still in hand Jason pushed both doors open rather theatrically. Stepping inside he let out a whistle and the clatter and rattling of little bones could be heard as Meaty made his way into the room and started to circle the table, sniffing at each student curiously, starting with Cadance but making sure to bypass Cordelia once there. Giving a nod to the adults Jason's attention was drawn to the man sitting next to Layla as he spoke to him.<strong>""Jason,""</strong>The older man gave a nod and continued talking resulting in Jason tilting his head to the side curiously.<strong>""My name is Dr. Deacon Valentine, if you would please take a seat in the chair against the wall. I'd like to try something out today...I have a theory I'm working on.""</strong><br/><br/>Jason already seeming slightly annoyed rolled his eyes.<strong>""Why yessah massah, I'll sit exactly where you want me to.""</strong>The tone was sarcastic, but oddly one that said Jason was joking around with the man as well. Shaking his head Jason made his way over to the seat that was assigned to him.<br/><br/>Reaching into his bag Jason pulled out a dog bowl and can of Alpo which he quickly opened. Dumping it into the bowl the odd young man stuck his finger into the dog food then into his mouth and gave an approving nod as he tasted it. Giving a whistle for Meaty who was now finishing up his rounds by Layla's feet, Jason took a moment to glance out the window as the skeletal dog made it's way over next to the chair. Muttering under his breath, but loud enough for everyone to hear Jason spoke very directly to the tree outside the window.<strong>""I see you there tree.""</strong>With that he sat down, pulling out an old book flipping it open as Meaty started to dig into the food.<br/><br/>As the dog ate every piece the of the wet food the skeletal pooch ingested fell out of the bottom of his jaw and landed on either the floor or back in the bowl. Glancing up for a split second seeing Layla's face Jason pursed his lips then leaned forward enough so that only Layla could hear his whisper. ""If he is bothering you, I can kill him. I have use for a new skull."" With that simple comment he sat back against his chair again and went back to reading as if nothing had happened."

With that, the two of her own personal most tenured students arrived and she grinned to them, knowing that after the years of helping and guiding that they would know what to do, and to behave.<br/><br/>A strange but familiar form made its way to their meeting and though she had known he was in the house, actually having to interact with him more set Cordelia on edge. Deacon came in and she afforded the same luxury she gave the others, a smile.  He spoke to her and she gave him a light<strong>""Thank you.""</strong>and a gentle nod when he whispered in her ear for her approval.  When Cadance came in, Cordelia gave her a smile and a light nod as she processed seeing Deacon and everything they had to do today. By the time Jackson entered, Cordelia was getting nervous, they were missing students.<strong>""Hello dear.""</strong>she spoke to him.<br/><br/>Eve arrived and her heart lightened a bit, as she was followed by Jason and they took their seats.  She allowed mere moments of small talk as there was only a few minutes before they really needed to start and she knew she was missing Faith and Devin.  She had been sure to include them both in knowing there attendance was mandatory and perhaps she had been too nice, in stating what the day could hold, rather than what it WOULD  hold.<br/><br/>Softly she stood from her seat allowing her legs to slide it back against the wooden floor and knew what she was about to do, the others would not have seen from her, or at least... not the students.

Her legs stretched out before her as she waited for the rest of the rag tag misfits to show up to this practice test. Layla had been studying the craft since the moment she arrived, burying her head in the old books for hours before even beginning to acknowledge those around her. It was a small fact that some may not expect, but in truth Layla took learning the art of becoming a witch rather seriously. It wasn't something she boasted or shared very much though, after all once you did that people could end up wanting to study with you or pick your brain for facts that were too lazy to find themselves.<br/><br/>She glanced up briefly as Theo arrived and gave him a nod hello. Theo was more the used to how little Layla talked most days, so there was never any unneeded concern over the matter at least between them. The only people that were ever concerned about her seemingly quite nature were Cordiela and Deacon, and thankfully the only one that stuck around didn't seem to care so much anymore.<br/><br/>Frighteningly enough her thoughts on Deacon seemed to manifest the man himself. Layla froze still as stone as he walked in and said hello. He familiar footsteps clicking over the hardwood floors, his voice still that familiar baritone that would constantly try to get through to whatever he expected from her. When his attention finally turned to her she tensed, the blade in her hand cutting into her thumb. The cut smooth as the sharp knife cut through to her skin like butter, the pain not even registering as the shock of who had seated himself beside her set in.<br/><br/>Layla said nothing, she didn't even looked to Deacon as he said it was nice to see her. The curse words flying through her head were nearly to many to keep track of. Layla had no idea what she wanted to do more, smack him so hard he was sent back to where ever he ran to, or run to the saftey of the basement and lock him out and away from her. Either way she wanted to get away, but Layla knew doing that would not only give him some strange sense of satisfaction for affecting her, but it would also disqualified from the lesson and quiet possibly the real tests. And that was not something she would risk, not even if it meant getting away from Deacon.<br/><br/>It was then Jackson came swooping in annoyingly chipper as always as he greeted the room. Blood ran along Layla's palm and dropped onto her pants as Jackson leaned in and kissed Deacon's cheek. A slight wince coming from Layla as the blade pressed harder into thumb. Only when Jackson tossed a handkerchief on her hand did Layla blinked and pull the blade from skin, wiping the blade clean before she even thought of wrapping the now blood stained fabric tightly around her thumb. Her hands slipping to her lap and out of the few of anyone that wasn't next to her, after all Cordelia frown on making the new boys and girls all queasy over a little blood.<br/><br/>A soft glare was sent to Jackson as he moved to find a seat, the wink he sent her only infuriating her more. Layla was about to speak, more so to tell Deacon and Jackson off when the sound of singing came down the hall. The dark yet entertaining tone spilled into the room long before Jason entered, all attention slipping to him as he made a rather interesting entrance. Deacon's near demand to Jason got a mumbled remark but Jason's response got a short scoff as she enjoyed the idea of someone being an ass to Deacon at the moment.<br/><br/>Her attention shifting to the side as Jason leaned in to whisper into her ear, oddly enough she didn't pull away or curse him for getting so close. And his offer actually brought a soft smirk to her lips, and it was so tempting. All she had to do was say yes please, and someone she knew Jason would in fact kill or attempt to kill Deacon without an ounce of guilt about it. It was actually almost sweet...as strange a thought as that seemed to her, her eyes met his for a moment as she debated, but in the end figured it was a bad idea....for now.<strong><em>""Maybe later, I want to cause a little pain first.""</em></strong>she whispered back and looked a bit further over her shoulder to the chair that Deacon had pulled back for Jason,<strong>""Pull up seat, you can sit next to me. I bite I promise, besides I should probably tell you what that trees been saying about you behind your back.""</strong>She smiled wanting to have a bit of fun and give Deacon a silent FUCK YOU in the process. Around that time Cordelia sat up and seemed ready to lock the boarders of the room, her warning t cover their ears was easily met as Layla did just that. The new girl running in before the timer ran out, seconds ticked away and Layla figured that Theo's stalker wasn't going to make an appearance, a small fact she have to ask Theo about. After all if he was fucking the boy so hard he couldn't get up in the morning someone should know...so they could laugh.<br/>"

He was already showered and ready by the time Delia popped in his room and told about the first of the seven wonders to be tested of us was today. Devin nodded and she disappeared. Never prying but seemingly knowing all. Devin was wearing black slippers, dark gray jeans, and a dark black v-neck t-shirt. His porcelain skin was of course very clean and well kept like his black hair. Devin looked himself over in his mirror and stood there enchanted by something off. There was a certain sparkle in the mirror's reflection of himself. It was in his eyes as he gazed deeper he realized that his mirror self didn't gaze back and instead of leaning forward he was standing there smiling. Freaked out Devin back away and tripped on his bed and sat on it looking at his reflection standing there in the mirror. Mirror D gestured to behind him and he noticed that his room was burning. Devin looked all around his room without seeing a flame in sight. But the reflection's room was burning nevertheless. Mirror D pulled a finger up to his mouth as his eye turned an unholy black as he made a ""shushing face"" and started silently screaming in pain because of the fire happening all around him engulfing him in a trapped inferno.<br/><br/>Devin had no idea what he just witnessed, he was totally freaked out of his mind. Was it another witch casting a spell on him or something else. Weird and strange things started happening more and more when he delved into his magick. And he knew he should keep this little thing to himself, but he laid back down and tried to calm himself down. He was such a baby and he hated it. Over the last few weeks Devin and Theodore had gotten closer. Just like two close friends. Theodore was ever sweet, teaching him some spells, letting him borrow his books on witch trials and history of the seven wonders and what happened to witches who couldn't past the test. Some test were dangerous and life threatening and some, like teleporting was either you could do it or you couldn't. Devin wasn't worried about being a supreme he could just feel that he wasn't. He had really good feelings about these types of things. He never fail a test though, and he knew he was a powerful witch because Theodore kept telling him so. Recently Devin, with Theodore's help, was able to tone down his telepathy. Now thoughts didn't scream in his head, they were more like a whisper, unless he was in a room with a bunch of people then he kind of lost control. Devin was able to avoid most of the other witches and Delia most of the time because he spent most of his time with Theodore or alone. Theodore has been flirty with Devin but that's about it. Devin started to think it was because of some of the other boys in the house, especially the newer child, Surua. Devin couldn't blame Theodore, the boy was adorable and cute and a bit smaller than him. Plus his white hair made him interesting and he wasn't a huge problem like Devin was. Devin noticed that Theodore had been spending less time with him that last couple of days and that was upsetting to Devin, but he wasn't going to force the male witch to do anything he didn't want to do.<br/><br/>Devin was still laying on his bed calming down from that frightening reading in his mirror when he realized he was already late for the lesson. He lightly stretched his mind out and realized everyone witch was already in the dinning hall. His mind cringe when he realized there was a bunch more witches in a smaller room and that was going to be hard for his head to keep its cool but he had to try nonetheless and beside he had a good feeling he could teleport. Even though he didn't believe he could be the supreme. He was walking down the hall almost to the dinning room when he heard Delia's voice projected magically throughout the halls. He quicken his step to make it in the room in time before Delia closed off the room. He felt so embarrassed and ashamed to be late to this meeting. Especially because he was the last witch.<br/><br/>""I am so sorry Headmistress Cordelia. I hope you can forgive my tardiness. I was distracted."" His face was full of embarrassment and apologies. He looked at all the faces in the room that looked back at him. And it hit him like a fat brick. All of their thoughts came bombarding in demanding his attention one after the other. He quickly sat down at the far end of the room by himself several seats away from everyone else. He didn't care if he seemed antisocial. He wanted to be antisocial. He tried clearing his mind and focusing on train of thought and it happened to be that rude witch Layla insinuating Devin and Theodore had been physical together recently. The other thoughts meshed together as he tried to focus on spoken word or lack there of. His eyes were watery and he refused to look at Theodore for help. If he wanted to spend time alone with Devin then Devin refused to go running to him every time his cursed decided to overthrow him. He could struggle himself or try to help himself. His eyes looked around the room at the Witches briefly. He basically knew more about them then he cared to. Most of them had share more than a personal dream or thought or two in his mind a week, but seeing them all in the same room now was a ripe splinting headache. He concentrated on one thing and that was Cordelia. He centered himself on her and pushed hard against everyone's thoughts. He wondered if he couldn't do this how the hell was he going to transmute with all the thoughts in his head. He pushed even harder, and it was all hushed down, for now.<br/>"

His right arm resting its elbow on the back of his seat's back support, the teen's head resting along his hand. Fingers spread, pinky resting on that plump lower digit as he stared into the abyss after a bit. Thinking and finding it a struggle to wait, not being all that patient. A sigh spilled past his once partially sealed mouth.  The platinum haired teen's eyes shut and his brows tilted in a nearly submissive nature. Having been spaced out or looking to be deep in thought during the time of any introductions to him earlier in the day. Though obviously not meaning to ignore, in fact most would guess he couldn't even hear them in the earlier periods of the time. He had been phasing in and out though and caught Layla's introduction, she had a decent aura about her, possibly someone good to have on his side? A slight sleepiness perhaps adding onto that long thinking process he seemed to be indulged into quite a bit.<br/><br/>It wasn't til Theo had entered, a taller male witch with a rather handsome face had directed his speaking towards he and another male that Surua even acknowledged the existence of anyone.  Those vibrant blue hues giving an almost catty and cold stroll up his body to his face. Being the semi-arrogant and perhaps overly prideful Finn that he was, Surua internally shrugged. A pretty face without much substance, being his first thought. That was how it normally went, not knowing how wrong he was.  He'd only respond by giving his name in exchange, plain and simply. The thicker accent as cold as his eyes,<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: courier;"">"" Surua.. ""</span>the name even sounding  a bit frosty in some odd way.   Despite using proper etiquette, it was obvious that this one had a sharp tongue and a drive to excel in everything, hence why he couldn't seem to be bothered with just about anything. An elitist of sorts.<br/><br/>The Baltic and Scandinavian boy's head lifting from its rested state along that hand with that side-stare he had been giving and began to rake his digits through his tousled bangs. Both hands eventually building a bridge below his chin. Elbows gently resting upon the table as his curved back  leaned his torso forward. Fingers building a bridge for his chin to rest.  A Mr. Deacon Valentine following in shortly after,  making his entry and greetings to all before making the same question of their names. A gentle nod forward, confirming his name as not to repeat his own name too often. Happening to not care for his name for good reasoning and not just caring to speak much. The new student was far more interested in studying the other witches and these wondrous books that peaked his curiosity.<br/><br/>One by one they seemed to flood in, each of them unknowingly being marked down in his head. Mostly not having names, for the most part that is. Instead by memory he marked them down as  The Shy girl , The Playboy Nymphomaniac , The Princess and eventually The BasketCase.  Already this was feeling far too much like The Breakfast club with a supernatural twist.   After that, Surua played nice internally. Focusing on himself, being so vane he had begun looking at his own nails after Cordelia's call to the other's not within the dining room had ended.  Eyes eventually falling on the latest entry. Another mousy type, cute and full of excuses. Easy to say, the blonde hated him already. Though, not anymore than anyone else.  All  the foreigner cared to know was if this was the final student missing."

He wondered briefly if her being upset by his tardiness was going to affect how she was going to act towards him in futures trials. She recited the bible quote she had used before and he wondered if there was some sort of clue in her words or hint that would help or if it was her mantra of self empowerment. Either way it wasn't much help now. He wasn't going to voluntarily try to go inside Cordelia's head and find out how she trasmutate but he did have half a mind to try to peak into their other teachers head who still lingered in the room. It wasn't cheating, the task was to transmutate, by any means necessary by using the objects and books in the room. Well Devin's powers of clairvoyance reached outside as well as inside the room. It's not his fault that he can read people's thoughts and know things about people he shouldn't, but if he was cursed with this ability than he will use it to his advantage. Their is basically no known way of actually knowing if someone's been peaking around in your head unless they left a trace or was being to obvious about it. Still the thought still irked him that it would be considered cheating and decided he'd use his powers if he had no other choice and time was running out. He couldn't fathom anyone even maybe Delia would know that he popped in their minds for a moment or two to hear their thoughts and find out some information. He didn't on a daily bases and no one ever mentioned it. Hell only four people, well, now three people in the room could possibly know that he could read minds in the first place. Devin shook his head and decided he will try the books to figure it out, but still the possibility of him using his powers was rising higher and higher every passing second.<br/><br/>D scooted his chair back silently as he could and stood from his seat. He noticed that Theodore had decided to take it upon himself to take quite a few books on the shelf. He remembered some books that Theodore let him borrow about the trials and the seven wonders. Mostly they were about the history and warnings about each trial or each of the wonders but none of them were a how to ""Book of Shadows"" guide. He knew that you had to believe in yourself and know mentally and most times visually where you'd like to move too, but the process was somehow unexplained. Theodore, while giving one of his rare magick lessons often explained that magick is made up of energy and the reason why witches are able to do magick and often so well is because they can channel and manipulate energy easier at a fast rate. Most powerful witches can channel and manipulate massive amounts of energy with a mere thought that preforming such tasks such as creating fire or transmuting is effortless. New witches or young witches grow in power by natural talent and or by practicing a bunch and expanding themselves. Magick can be like a muscle or an ocean. Sometimes it felt to Devin at least that his magick was like a faucet. A never ending use of magick and only by using a muscle would help stop it. So if that being said, maybe all D needed to do was concentrate on his energy and when he had a hold of it. Try to make force it into another place? Picture it appearing in a different room? He couldn't fathom how that would be dangerous. Maybe each witch transmutate their own way. This was confusing.<br/><br/>D couldn't help but to glance around the room at different objects and shapes. Cordelia had said that certain objects in the room could help the process or learning, but he couldn't understand how. You're supposed to do it yourself, not use a crystal or potions to help it along. Hm. Devin kind of stood their awkwardly lost in his thoughts and thankfully not someone else's. He crossed his arms over his chest and tapped his foot on the ground impatiently at himself. Only a few minutes went by, but he didn't like nor want to be timed for doing a difficult task. He had an itch at the back of his mind wanting to let his powers go and soak up all the knowledge of the witches around him. But he continued to hold back. For now.  He glanced over at Theodore, wondering how he hadn't already vanished. Theodore was always a very powerful and confident witch in D's eyes. He couldn't be bad at something, he's on the council. Devin hadn't realized that he was staring giving accidental sad eyes at Theodore. He began to pace a small distance, after pushing in his chair. His pacing was three chair lengths as he was going to spend a few minutes pondering hypothesis on how to do it. He wasn't going to try anything. After reading the gore-y tales on what happened to witches that could transmutate but ended up trapped in a well of impaled by a tree. He thought his it was safe to give all idea a proper thought before trying anything, he didn't want to die, especially not now, during a stupid trial."

As he was making his way in Theo said that the greeting had been for Deacon as well and that cause Deacon to smile.<strong>""Thank you Theo.""</strong>It was a simple statement by the young man, but it had made Deacon feel welcome back in a house he'd once called his home, and had just made that fact true again.<br/><br/>When Jackson finally made his way over he kissed Deacon on the as he acknowledged his return to the school, and Deacon just barely turned his head towards him giving him a 'really?' look when he mentioned hiding away.<strong>""Merely doing my job old friend, merely doing my job.""</strong>The kiss on the cheek the man had giving him seemed to be the last thing on Deacon's mind, especially as he pointed out Layla had cut her finger. His eyes snapped over to her hand for a moment just quickly enough to catch sight of it before Jackson covered it with the handkerchief. Speaking softly directly to Layla, but knowing she likely wouldn't respond, Deacon tried to express his concern.<strong>""Are you okay, or should I heel it?""</strong>He hadn't wanted anyone concerned, but luckily Jackson spoke up introducing himself to the group. Deacon was quite happy to see that Surua give a nod in acknowledgment when he greeted him.<br/><br/>During his distraction with Layla, Deacon had almost not noticed had arrived. The poor girl felt so out of place in the school, and Deacon hoped perhaps he'd be able to speak with her about that at some point. His thoughts were quickly shifted to the singing in the hall however as Jason made his entrance. He told Jason where to sit and much to Deacon's surprise Jason didn't give up much of a fight. He gave a playful smart ass comment, but not a fight. Deacon nodded and made a mental note of the fact he was more compliant with the dog around. Sadly, Deacon's calm was short lived though as he heard Lala suggest Jason scoot up to the table, and made mention the tree had been speaking ill of him. Looking over at her Deacon frowned but tried to keep his calm.<strong>""Layla, I've asked Jason to sit over there as a social experiment. He will be a the table with everyone for the next lesson.</strong>Looking back to Jason he continued,<strong>""If you would please stay seated over there until I tell you otherwise I'd appreciate it. Layla is unaware of the implications this study will have later on. Also, the tree wasn't speaking ill of you.""</strong>He shot an mildly annoyed look at Layla then looked back to the rest of the room.<br/><br/>He looked back out just in time to notice Cordelia looked rather upset. They were still missing two...no wonder. He covered his ears like she instructed as her voice billowed through the building obviously to gain the attention of both Devin and Faith. Faith was the first one in, apologetic and rather sweet about it. Deacon gave the girl a nod as she moved into the room and took her seat, then not but a few moments later did Devin scurry in. Deacon sat watching the students and listening closely to Cordelia. The professor sat there with a look of pride on his face as he listened to one of his oldest friends speak to her students, though he might have chuckled had he known she'd used the same quote from the bible twice, and once she was done and had vanished from the room locking the students inside he chuckled. ~<em>This was certainly going to be interesting</em>~<br/><br/>As the students started to take in what they were about to have to do Deacon smiled at Theo. He had taken the initiative to get up and grab a few books so that everyone might find something useful. ~<em>Always the helpful one</em>~ Looking back over to Layla for a moment to check on her he quickly turned his attention to Jason.<strong>""You can get up to get books and study materials. I don't expect you to just sit there and do nothing.""</strong>He smiled at Jason then looked around the room at the other students. Deacon wasn't against using his abilities, and as such knew when people were trying to use an ability he had against him.<br/><br/>His eyes fell onto Devin as the boy started thinking so loud that it was almost hard to miss. He probably didn't realize he was doing it, but he was. Prying into the minds of others could be a dangerous thing, especially with Jason in the room. Smiling at Devin, Deacon thought back just as loudly, so that he knew Devin would hear him. ~<em>I wouldn't suggest that...Peaking around in the minds of your teachers. One, if not all of us can read minds as well, and we'll feel it if you do. I also wouldn't suggest poking around in the brains of other students on purpose either. Not everyone in this room is as mentally stable as you or I. You and I might need to talk at some point and work on your control of your ability.</em>~ Giving Devin a nod Deacon smiled and stood up chuckling a bit at Faith's thoughts on Jason. His mind had been opened already, so hearing her inner voice was just a side affect of it really.<br/><br/>Leaning forward he rested both hands on the table, fingers splayed out apart from one another as he looked around at the students.<strong>""If anyone has any questions feel free to ask me. Like it or not the success of one, or failure, will affect the success or failure of you all. You each house inside you the power in which to do the task that has been asked of you. If you've been studying it will be easier, as Cordelia said. If not, it will be difficult, and it can be dangerous. Your teachers are here to help you learn, but we can not do it for you. Keep that in mind as you begin to study.""</strong>With that he walked over to the bookshelf himself and started looking at the age of some of them, running his fingers along the spines wasting time until someone asked for help."

It was clear Layla was not expecting Deacon to come trampling back in her life. The girl would no doubt be like a ticking time bomb when it came to him. And Jackson couldn't wait to see her go off all over him. Jackson smiled and looked around the room, all the young faces that had fear and hope and quiet possible a bit of insanity in their eyes. Jackson was about to say something when in came a lovely new brunet (Eva).<br/><br/>She apologized for not being there earlier and he smiled, he could sense the class from a mile away.<strong> ""Well hello lovely, no worries I'm sure Cordi understands. We are still waiting on some of your fellow classmates anyway. ""</strong>he smiled and watched her sit, ""<strong>But I would happily come to rouse you out of bed.""</strong>Jackson smirked and looked to Cordi as innocently as possible,”<strong> In the sweetest way possible I promise.""</strong>he nodded and leaned back in his chair. There were so many handsome and beautiful people around, it was a shame they were all students and off limits...yeah...of limits.<br/><br/>Jackson's attention shifted to the song that bellowed through the hall. Sure enough the crazy Frankenstein creator appeared; Jackson had to admit the boy new how to make an entrance. Jackson listened to the banter between the boy and Deacon, Jason's come back to where he should sit brought a short laugh from Jackson.<strong>""What it was funny....but uncalled for...for shame.""</strong>Jackson tried to cover his amusement when Deacon gave him that look that Jackson was so used to getting. The interact between Jason and Layla wasn't missed, but filed away for later poking. But as the tree's were brought up Jackson tilted his head in curiosity, ""<strong>Now is it really talking to you, or do you think it is talking to you...Oh or did you take something that makes you think its talking to you. All valid questions in this place.""</strong>he nodded but seemed to straighten up as Cordi stood to make an announcement.<br/><br/><strong>""Oh a count down, wonderful!"" </strong>Jackson clapped his hands and looked to his watch as the seconds ticked away.<strong>""I'll be happy to handle any tardy students.""</strong>he nodded confidently his look actually some what serious on that note. Jackson was rather laid back most of the time, but the tests were no joke. Someone could die if they were not prepared to take the tests. So as relaxed as he seemed Jackson wouldn't let them missing the practice bits slide easily.<br/><br/>Thankfully just as the first minute passed two students came running in. The girl nervous but seemingly excited came in and took a seat. Jackson smiled to her but his mind shifted to the new boy as he entered. His mental abilities filtering about caught Jackson's attention right away. That would clearly have to be addressed peeking in peoples minds was not nice, sometimes necessary but not nice in the least. And with the happy amount of crazy in the room it was very dangerous as well.<br/><br/>But before that could be addressed, at least by Jackson, Cordi once again began to speak and explain why they were all there. She finished with that same old line from the bible again, but Jackson said nothing until she was done. ""<strong>Oh this could be a fun one, dangerous, and draining, but very fun as well."" </strong>Jackson smiled and took a breath. His body vanishing from the chair he sat in before reappearing next to Devin as he grabbed a book.<strong>""All in the focus of energy and the unquenchable need to be somewhere else, I think a few of use may already have that.""</strong>he said eying Layla for a moment. The glare spoke wonders even if she didn't. Again Jackson vanished and reappeared sitting on the table legs crossed as she looked over the class.<strong>""Visualization helps, don't just try and force it. See it happening within her minds eye."" </strong>he nodded trying to give a few tips that always helped him.<strong>""Keep it simple to start with though, don't pull a me and end up at the end of the block naked as a jay bird stuck in a tree....not fun...well ok a little fun, but very cold."" </strong>he smiled lightly trying to keep the mood light. Tension and fear only made magic as a whole harder, so keeping their minds light and slightly amused sometimes helped."

Sara. She went to visit the Sara's son and see what steps needed to be taken and if he needed to be trained, but over the phone the training sounded extensive.  Upon pulling up to their suburban two-story home everything seemed normal as though the coven member had fully and secretly acclimated into society.   Cordelia found it best to watch the young one and stay a few days before passing her judgement as a member of the council, as she had stepped up at a late member's passing.  On the second night of her stay, she awoke to a deep black smoke filling the room and covering her mouth she went to look for her coven friend and her children. Going into the room next to her, she grabbed up Theo and turned to run out the door.  Sara soon followed with a worried look as she could not see her daughter in Cordelia's arms as well as her son and sank to her knees, crying in the grass.  The fire fighters soon arrived and put out the fire, and the ambulance walked from the dying cinders carrying her little girl beneath the sheet.  Sara broke down once again, rushing to the ambulance as the law enforcement held her back and the vehicle drove away.  Sara, with tear stained eyes whispered in Cordelia's ear and kissed her little boys forehead before Cordelia turned and loaded him up in the car, his power too unstable to have away from the watchful eye of the coven.  This would be the last time He or Cordelia saw Sara as one of the detectives working the case was part of a group of witch hunters who killed her in her hotel room the night after, making it appear as suicide.  Both of her children had, by all accounts died.. it being chalked up as Theo not being found in the carnage and pronounced dead, and his sister Laura being found, but pronounced dead on arrival.  The presumed death of Theodore was kept from him, and him being alive was kept from the outside.. being what was best for the coven.<br/><br/>The second was a female, Age fifteen.  The day started as any other day, Cordelia sat at the table in the Ancestry room as her mother gallivanted around the country as well as others, not paying one bit of her attention on the Coven.  Picking up her morning tea and a news paper, a scene flashed before her eyes.  It was that of a young girl, standing in what appeared to be a bedroom with a blade to her own throat.  This vision made Cordelia uneasy, and even more so when the girl sliced open her throat, a deep gash forming as vocal cords and esophagus were exposed before healing back up.  Then the scene appeared to move, focusing on a woman in bed who appeared to be strung out on something, or catatonic.  Suddenly as the girl's wounds healed, the older woman's opened up, her eyes wide with a stare at the ceiling as blood oozed and gurgled around her now open throat, unable to scream or utter a word in rebuttal.  Rather rapidly the woman bled out and as though she was there she could hear a door shut as the young girl's attention snapped, and she ran from the room.  As she entered the room a rather bloated looking man, with a sweat covered and dirt stained wife-beater tank-top entered the home..  He was half balding with greasy hair, and had a lustful look about him as he looked to the image of the young girl.  To put it lightly, he looked like a pedophile.  He licked his cracking lips as the young girl handed him a beer, the blade from earlier tucked in her back pocket.  The man greedily took the beer and sat in a chair and the girl walked in a seductive manner toward him, pulling out the blade and biting her lip.  The man looked a bit alarmed at first but the girl played it off as being sexy, gently cutting into her loose t-shirt and ripping about half the way down, as she let the blade trail along her collarbone in a teasing manner, the man smirked for a moment and just as he did, the girl pushed the blade against her chest, pulling it down and as it hit below her ribs it pushed in to the hilt.  The wound began to heal, just in time for the man to utter a sound of disgust before his own chest and stomach was eviscerated and its contents spilled in his lap, the beer in his hand falling and spilling to the floor.  A gurgling came from the man as his wounds dripped and his muscles twitched.  With a rather blank face the girl turned and went to what appeared to be her bedroom, collapsing on the bed and the vision ended as though Cordelia were walking backwards, catching a glimpse of a house number and trailer park sign.  Quickly she jotted the clues down and began her search coming across a sketchy part of Louisiana in a small trailer park.  <br/><br/>Cordelia pulled up into the park and searched around, finally coming across the trailer, the numbers on it rusted from rainfall.  She didn't bother knocking and walked in as the door was unlocked, peering around the chair and covering her mouth as the man stared deadly ahead, still gurgling.  She gave him a rather disgusted look and went to the room, opening the door before stepping in and setting next to the girl, still emotionless as what she had done had not finally hit.  Outstretching her arms, she pulled the girl close and upon touching her is ravaged by more visions in brief snippets of the woman appearing to being her mother passed out on the bed as the male going into the girls room and forcing himself on her.. over... and over... This brought tears to Cordelia's eyes and she held the girl, stroking her hair and trying to comfort her saying.. ""I'm so sorry... it's okay.. you are going to be safe now"" as the girl began to break down and Cordelia held her close.  When the young girl calmed down enough, Cordelia took her to the car as the young woman mentioned her only outlet... a notebook full of sketches.  Cordelia went back in, grabbing the item and walking out as fire seemed to spring from under the walls, the door closing behind her and driving away as the young girl's past burst into flame.  <br/><br/>After much thought in the event of her mother's death, she decided against taking the Seven wonders test and becoming the Supreme.  Instead she ascended to become the head of the new Grand Council after the death of the old one at the hands of her mother. She is currently the only adult member and is in charge until the ceremony of the Great Ascension.<br/>The Grand Council however afterward act as the Supreme's right hand and in the event of ""Mutiny""  take charge once again.  </div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>"

He said, stepping softly toward her and outstretching his hand.  Quickly the girl made a few steps back and dropped the books exclaiming ""I'm not stealing anything.. I promise.""  Theo got a bit closer and picked the books up, handing them to her.  ""I know you aren't,"" He said.  ""Cordelia told me that you were coming to live with us.  So I figured I would welcome you here.  If you ever need anything or anyone to talk too.  I stay just down the hall from you,""  and with a light smile he turned, walking to his room to give her privacy.<br/><br/>One night, while lying in his bed he heard someone crying in the halls.  He followed the sound and opened Layla's door, peeking in and seeing Layla crying against her knees.  Gently he spoke ""Are you okay, I heard you crying""  The girl, being how she was became tough lipped and replied.  ""I wasn't crying.. and if you tell anyone I was you will regret it.""  His eyes grew wide and he slowly backed from the room, going back to his own and going back to sleep.  The next morning at the breakfast table, she came down and sat across from him, looking up slowly.  ""So... Hi.. and shit.""  Even though it was few words, it excited Theo that she spoke.  <br/><br/>Over the next couple of years they came to understand one another, becoming kind of a brother-sister dynamic where they were loyal to one another, and got along, growing closer.. well as close as could be expected considering their past, but secretly Theo was glad having a sister figure after accidentally killing his own.<br/><br/>He has lived there since and grew into a respectable member of the Coven.  Cordelia teaching him temperance and to have a reverence to those around him.  He hasn't put much thought toward being the new supreme, but intends to throw his hat in, in hopes of leading the coven to a lighter place than the previous supreme and making his mother, as well as Cordelia proud. </div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>"

It was almost as if her mother knew that it would be her, and Eve was prepared for that possibility from a very young age.<br/><br/>Once her powers developed Eve became slightly power hungry. She could control life and death, and that made her extremely powerful. Salves and potions became a secondary interest for her, as she realized those would be what could help her make the corpses look like they were living.  Not long after the Supreme's death, Eve's mother sent her to live at the school, as she had attended when she was younger. Eve's mother had been sent to the school on her thirteenth birthday. Unlike her mother however, Eve had been kept home and away from the school until the Supreme's death, so that her mother could fill her head with delusions of grandeur. While she can control her power somewhat, perhaps being at the school will teach her to better focus it, and even make some of those salves she's been so desperately trying to make.

To say they were always busy is an understatement. He was born and raised in Seattle Washington, with not much help or attention from his parents. Being an only child he found himself alone most of the time.<br/>Devin’s power of Clairvoyance manifested at a young age and he thought he was going crazy. They manifested when he was only 6 years old. He tried sharing the knowledge with his father that he was hearing thoughts of everyone around him and he knew things about people and things, things he shouldn't know. His father, not knowing the existence of witches thought he was making things up to get attention. Over the years D kept the curse to himself. If he concentrated hard enough he could almost block out the voices of others from entering his head, thus creating headaches, but the visions couldn't be blocked out even if he tried and soon he was finding more about things about the people in his life that he ever cared to know.<br/>Being able to listen to people’s thoughts and know things about them before they even introduced themselves were spooky, but as he grew older D began to notice how sad people were and how desperately their minds cried out for happiness. It made D tender towards people, even though people tried to act tough, or angry, or unemotional, he could see right through them. But as he grew older so did his curse.<br/>Eventually it was beginning to be a little too much for him, and he would beg his mother and father to let him stay home from school. It worked for a few days than they demanded he go back, he argued with them and when they wouldn't cave in, he told them. They didn't believe him so he started telling them things about each other that wasn't shared. Mrs. Heart wanting a new house, Mr. Heart’s personal trainer that is more personal than a trainer, the illegal drugs Mrs. Heart took to deal with Mr. Heart, their current thoughts, on and on he went, spilling years of secrets, he couldn't stop. His father had slapped him in the face and told him he was in big trouble for spying on them. But his mother knew better, but not being a witch herself didn't know how to help the problem. Through a very long and extensive grape vine she was able to contact the council of witches who flew out to Seattle right away to meet this telepathic witch. <br/>The council had arrived at Devin’s house two days later and they demanded to take him to Robichaux's Academy, since D didn't want to go to a school where he believed he was going to be drugged and sedated for the rest of his life, he refused. That is when they tried to use brute force to drag him with them, but D is psychic not stupid he just thought they were mentally calling him a witch to appease his “crazy”. Devin didn't get too far; right outside his house was Theodore Belvedere, seemingly waiting for him. Too bad for Theodore that Devin didn't see him and he ran right into him. Theodore didn't move to much but upon contact D’s ability seemed nonexistent, he didn't hear thought in his head, he didn't get any weird random facts or visions about the other witch, he was almost normal. Theodore steadying Devin so he didn't fall and when he was set, he let him go. That’s when all thoughts and knowledge started slowly coming back. When asked how he did that, Theodore said that he was a witch, and they Devin was one too, and if he came to the Academy that not only would he be safe he would be able to control his power and learn a lot about who he is. Devin agreed and they went to the academy. <br/>Devin was not a very sexual person until he met Theodore, to say the attraction to him was one of the reasons why he agreed to go to the academy. The other was he never thought of himself as a witch, just psychic or maybe crazy. But a witch? That didn't cross his mind at all, he was curious. Very Curious. On the long flight to New Orleans Theodore gave Devin a look into the Coven's history, a compilation of images, spells, and texts, which also revealed him to be a part of the long line of Salem witches that had been nearly wiped out.<br/> </div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>"

Her father a drunk and her mother a half drugged slut that had gotten knocked up. At least that was what her father always said. Her world was filled with fighting and dodging her father’s angry fists the most of her life. Her only reprieve from this was her time at school. Those few hours during the day were always her favorite, so she tended to do well despite her horrible home life. But in the end Layla would have to go to face whatever mood her parents were in that day. As the horrible overly told story goes, her father would beat her during his bouts of anger and her mother of course sat back and watched it happen. After all as far as they were concerned Layla was only getting what she deserved. <br/><br/>When she was 14 things took a turn for the worst, coming home and heading straight for her room Layla saw that it had been trashed. Her artwork torn and tossed every which way, it pissed her off and stupidly she turned and started to scream at her parents. They had apparently gone in her room looking for the money she had saved from her part time job she had. And ended up tearing up her room in the process, screaming and saying she needed to contribute to this home. In truth her father had lost his job and they needed the money to feed their addictions. But none of that mattered as her father came after her, slamming her into her room and trying to take advantage of her. After all she could earn her keep one way or the other. Thankfully she managed to smash an old recorder over his head and knock him out. That was the last straw for her; Layla gathered a bag full of her things and ran away from the hell she had once had to call home.<br/><br/>Running away to the larger cities Layla found it easy to survive and take what she wanted from life. After all when you not used to having much, it didn't take a whole lot to make you happy. She took hanging out in libraries from time to time, reading what interested her to try and supplement when she didn't have in school. During her time on the street Layla found a crew as most runaways do and fell into some bad habits, drugs, alcohol and sex....yeah again one of those all to heard of stories. <br/><br/>But there was something within this story that ended up making Layla's story unique. One evening during one of her down swings she found herself in that dark place that had her ending up with the blade in her hand. But as she pressed it to her flesh and began to cut she heard the guy next to her suddenly stir. The wound healed and when the guy sat up his forearm was bleeding as if she had cut his arm and not hers. This of course caused him lose his temper and take it out on her. But it made her begin to wonder about a world that was so much weirder then she could ever imagine. <br/><br/>Layla began to experiment and found she had some sort of super power, curse, hex whatever you wanted to call it. She was a living voodoo doll, as long as she focused Layla could send the harm she inflicted on herself on other people. This power was most certainly a dangerous gift for a young woman that had been beaten most of her life. Layla's life shifted as she was no longer a victim. Any time someone turned against her, she'd use her gift to strike back at them. <br/><br/>Eventually word spread of some weird girl that hexed people, which wasn't really strange considering they were in the Voodoo capital of the US. But her actions were enough to catch the attention of coven. And just before her 15 birthday they came to her. The start was a rocky one, but they convinced her to come live within the coven home and learn to control her gift...and maybe even her emotions as well. Layla is still a bit unstable and unpredictable, but the coven was in fact the first place she could honestly call home. </div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>"

But then again, nobody ever truly understood her. Her parents were killed in a car crash when she was 5, from then on she lived in a big old house with her batty old.grandmother and cats. Up until her parents were killed, Cadance had been a outgoing child. But that changed, partly because she was in the car too, saved by her car seat. But that was also the summer her power to manipulate the earth began to develop. Her grandmother told hee it was perfectly normal but don't tell the other children. Not that she had many other children to tell. She took ballet, and had since she was three. That was the extent of ""other children"" up until that point. <br/><br/>By the time she entered first grade, making friends wasn't real likely. She was shy, quiet, and not very social. She still took dance lessons, that was the extent of it. It continued like this, while meanwhile as she got older she became more inquisitive about her ability. There wasn't much to it, but it was there. It wasn't until she was ten that her grandmother finally sat her down and rambled on about family history and witches and magic. Cadance could hardly believe it, but she knew it had to be true. <br/><br/>From then on, little more was said. Her grandmother would ramble occasionally, show her books, pictures. But her grandmother was still a batty old flake, and never fully explained anything. Perhaps it was because she didn't know. Cadance did get out of her once that it was her grandfather's line with the magic, and her grandfather had died before she was born. <br/><br/>As she got older though, especially once she hit her teen years, her ability became stronger. High School passed much the same as her early school years, with the exception that she got to perform in several local ballet productions, Swan Lake and the Nutcracker among them. <br/><br/>Upon High School graduation though, her grandmother announced that she wouldn't be going to college but rather a special school for witches. This shocked Cadance, but she knew it was best if she trained with other people with powers. She had never met anybody else before. So, with one last summer in her home state of Georgia, she relaxed before packing up her car and driving to Louisiana and arriving at the school just a day or so ago.</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>"

His mother and father raised in a rather medieval style of parenting, where he was rarely told no. He had the best private tutors, and anything he wanted his parents acquired for him. If they didn't have the financial means to get it, they would kill someone who had it and bring it to the boy. Surprisingly the Swifts were good at cleaning up their dead, as they never got caught.<br/><br/>When Jason was five years old his mother died, and his father committed suicide not long after. This left the boy in the care of his uncle, who continued to raise him as his mother and father intended, as the boy was “destined to do great things.” As such Jason’s uncle told the young boy about the world they truly lived in, a world of witches and warlocks, a world they thought he would one day rule.<br/><br/>When Jason turned seven his uncle had arranged for him to go on a school field trip to the zoo with the local public school, it is that day that the monster he is today was born. About mid-way through the trip, Jason wandered off from the rest of the group to explore alone. Not normally hearing no, don’t something like that didn't seem like it would be a big deal. Once away from the group Jason heard them for the first time, two very distinct voices.<br/><br/>The first voice, over his right shoulder, was his mother. She told him that he was supposed to do something important that day. Something that would start the long road to him becoming what he was destined to be. Then his father spoke to him, telling him that today was the day he was to become a man, and do to that he needed to make a declaration of his independence, he needed to free the kangaroos. After hearing them, Jason blacked out.<br/><br/>He awoke a couple hours later with his face, chest, and hands covered in blood. As the authorities were carting him away he found out that he hadn't let out the kangaroos, instead he’d freed the lions. The lions, after being in captivity for so long, went on a murderous rampage. The boy who’d freed them hunted with them, and did as they did, and even went so far as to feed with them.<br/><br/>During the trial Jason stuck to his story the the voices had made him do it, and that he didn't remember anything. He was determined criminally insane and locked away in an asylum. While in the asylum Jason had so many violent outbursts and issues, still claiming that the voices were telling him to do it, that they took his treatment off the record. Electroshock therapy began, but to no result. Even until the Eve of his 18th birthday, the violent outbursts continued, Jason still blaming the voices.<br/><br/>The eve of Jason’s 18th birthday, October 30th, Jason heard his mother’s voice speak to him. For the first time, his father said nothing. She told him that he would be getting released on his birthday, and that the family had already made arrangements for him to “adjust” back to day to day life, then he was to go to school. The following day on Jason’s actual birthday, Halloween, the judge in charge of Jason’s case arrived to work to find proof on his desk that Jason’s therapy had gone off the record. Being that electroshock therapy had been outlawed for nearly thirty years everywhere, Jason was freed, and cannot be tried again for his actions when he was seven.<br/><br/>In January of the following year, Jason made his way to Robichaux's Academy for the Exceptional, where he has lived ever since. Opting for a room in the basement if Cordelia found it permissible, as sometimes his outburst from the therapy treatments have him on edge, Jason now spends most of his time with his skeletal pet dog admiring his trophies. </div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><hr/><div align=""center"">(http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii625/RainbowRian/dog7_zps482d99dc.jpg)<br/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><div align=""center""><em><strong></strong></em><br/></div></td></tr><tr><td><hr/><div align=""center""><strong><em><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 20pt;""></span></em></strong></div><hr/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Name: </strong><em>Meaty</em></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Age: </strong><em>N/A</em></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Orientation: </strong><em>N/A</em></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Occupation: </strong><em>Guard Dog</em></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Hair: </strong><em>None</em></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Eye Color: </strong><em>An Deep Ebony Void</em> </td></tr><tr><td><strong>Height: </strong><em>3 ½ ft</em></td></tr><tr><td><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Appearance:   </strong> Made of strictly bones now, the once majestic mastiff looks gaunt and breakable, though that is hardly the case.

Meaty came to live with the Swift family when Jason was three years old, and the two quickly became attached to one another. The most prominent display of Meaty caring for his owner was when Jason’s mother and father took him to the park when he was four. Another child was picking on Jason and Meaty attacked. The Swifts paid to make the problem go away though so that Jason would not have to lose his pet over it protecting him.  <br/><br/>When Jason went to the asylum his Uncle wasn’t sure Meaty would make it, the dog seemed heart broken. His Uncle managed to keep the dog happy enough that he lived to the age of thirteen before passing away, spending much of his time in Jason’s old room guarding his beloved owners things. After Meaty’s death, Jason’s uncle brought him back from the dead so that his young nephew wouldn’t have to return home to a dead pet.

A more erotic, twisted sense of humor takes place more often in which he not only seduces but, humiliates them as well. A cruel sensibility and odd comedic stance as far as what he finds to be funny.<br/><br/>However when he is himself, it appears he is quite silent for the most part. That small tinge of arrogance still there, possibly to push others away.  He focuses on music and creative outlets as he did before any of this had ever happened. Planning on going to a school for the arts, he hasn't said it but he just may resent others for sending him to the coven. He feels he can handle this all on his own, prideful and very intelligent. --- Currently he has been put down as having a minor personality disorder that is "" under control "" at this point.<table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td><div style=""text-align: justify;""><em> </em></div></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Enemies</strong></td><td><div style=""text-align: justify;""><em> His own inner demon / possible multiple personality, but they are friends right?</em></div></td></tr></tbody></table><br/><br/><br/><div align=""center""><hr/><strong><em><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 20pt;"">History | Background</span></em></strong><br/><br/>Raised within a lower-wealthy home in comparison to the extremely rich. Definitely above middle class however, Surua's family had come from both old money and some new. Piano lessons, vocal lessons - he took advantage of these things in hopes of creating something beautiful and the arts drew him in. Mother, originally being a small time singer at lounges quit to fit the role of her husband's wife so not to hurt his image or hint that he could not take care of her.  The strain of being a doctor's wife perhaps putting her in a minor to mild depression now and again. However, the woman still sang at events for friends and around the house quite often, which may be perhaps part of the reason the fair child was so interested in taking that road.<br/><br/>His father, outside of his profession was a traveler. Bringing Surua gifts or even along with him, sometimes for work if not on their own little vacation with one another. Eventually, the cherub faced boy grew and became quite familiar with American society and could speak English quite well - masking his accent a little more over time when speaking their language. Thus making his father proud, but for the wrong reasons. The Finnish man wanting his son to of course take his route into medicine or become a business man as he had such easy access to it given his father's status socially. Surua however never denied his hints and wishes, the information though he knew what he was going to do himself.<br/><br/>A year later, upon turning sixteen Surua had been home for two months after a trip he became quite ill. The first night any signs were shown he was driven to the hospital only to be sent home three days later. However nothing was fine as they said it should be. Excessively dehydrated, breathing constantly heavy and movements in what small hours of sleep he had gotten extremely violent towards himself. It appeared he was even speaking in tongues he had never even had the possibility of learning in his sleep, a devout Catholic - his mother called a priest. An exorcism of course taking months before being denied, had been done anyway. Piercing banshee screams erupting from his vocal chords deafening them for a short term and even forcing one of his little helper's unconscious. Eventually he was gagged, panting and unable to do anything as Holy water was splashed at him. Surua's brows furrowed in an upset manner trying to look away so not to get splashed in the face.<br/><br/>At this time, his own head filled with an odd assortment of what he assumed to be gibberish was Latin chanting. Before he knew it, the priest stopped what he was doing and was holding his head. Claiming to hear enough voices to make his head burst before making a dramatic escape. However, time has moved on. Surua has shown more of his natural self as the demon seems to have settled in. The boy still is not back to what he was of course, but closer none the less. The occasional Latin whispers in his sleep and walking at night with closed eyes. It still worried his mother, a woman from a line of witches that was hiding the secret from both her son and husband figuring it would never pass down. Her last resort and only aim for help was the witch academy in New Orleans. Thus Surua was sent there, to help contain his powers or see if this supposed daemon could actually be removed if it existed at all and wasn't a mental illness as so many suggested before.<br/><br/><em>The Encounter</em><br/><br/>When Surua believes he encountered the demon, it was purely by accident. Being chased by a few enemies from school, bullies who had targeted him specifically for his sexual preference. He had been punched all over before from this same group of boys, humiliated behind closed doors. Most seeing it as a sign of jealousy as he did so well in school and appeared to have it made. This specific day, after saying they'd of course all attack him at once - planning to jump him only informed on this thanks to an anonymous note - he ran. <br/><br/>The group of three ran him eventually into a small chipped white building. The white paint exposing wooden frames, tattered and destroyed insides of the building with all sorts of filth across the floor. Broken glass nearly on each step. Surua however knew partially what they wanted. Feeling him up, slapping him in his face on occasion to a point they had busted his lip open after talking about how much they all of course liked them. Humiliatingly pushing them out in a guppy-like pout before  unzipping their own pants. It didn't take long, one after the other. However it felt like an eternity to be gagged and have your throat tested by impatient teenage boys who only wanted to ram into his face to a point they had actually bloodied his nose. - Eventually time passed, they had gone. Surua wiping the blood from his face and the salty fluid from his lips panted, waiting in the building.<br/><br/>Looking about, he had realized it was the old church he was in. One that hadn't been used since the 1940's according to his grandfather, but he knew nothing else of the place. Catching his breath and resting, thankful his face had been the only thing used at this point as he wiped his chin and gulped thinking of what excuse to use once he had gotten home. It was too embarrassing for one with so much pride to admit or tell anyone. Especially when he was aiming to be an artist and scholar, one to be respected as soon as possible. Pity wasn't an option, those were his thoughts as he pulled himself together. However as he sat there, over time the area felt quite odd. Cold, somewhat more moist and chilling and a minor amount claustrophobic as if he shouldn't move.  Suddenly the sound of metal chiming and clinking could be heard, startling him. A small, but beautiful ornamented rosary falling down at his side from a rickety old table he leaned on too much.  Far too gorgeous not to pick up and take with him, as if it were a gift he had walked home with a very fair ever so slight smile at his lips. That night however, wearing the rosary to bed he had a dream with a deep voice and haunting figure making a proposal saying he looked forward to their blossoming friendship and made a proposal that Surua could not quite remember. Days later, looking at the religious piece he had realized all the small cross ornaments and beads had the cross and crucifix upside down and didn't seem to be fixable without breaking the entire rosary. It didn't seem right to break it or tamper with it, despite it just being an accident during the time it was made he assumed. <br/><br/>The question is, is he truthful and possessed or are you reading the story of one of the truly mentally ill and unstable? One with irrational hallucinations? His health depleted after all this, but could it be due to his own head or is it a demon at work? Sure, on paper he is put down as mentally ill and stable, but that second part is just as questionable and raises the possibility of question of the first, does it not?<br/><br/><hr/></div><br/><br/><br/><div style=""text-align: justify;""> </div><br/><br/></div>"

His father had passed away early in his life, leaving him with just his mother. She, however, could not contain her grief and sought refuge in pseudo-medicinal aid. In this world of drugs she met the man, her main drugdealer, whom she would also consider her ""lover"". He considered her an easy and conventient lay, with Gabriel as his personal errand boy. Gabriel served, throughout his childhood, as his drug mule, as his patsy, as a convenient excuse to be near teenagers without looking suspiscious so he could sell. And every time a drug deal or assignment for Gabriel went wrong, even if he was not to blame, he received a thorough beating.<br/><br/>The worst part of the beatings was that his mother, afraid of her supply of drugs drying up, never intervened. After years of beatings, she even started encouraging him, knowing that if he got wound up enough she'd get a high and a fuck. Gabriel went to and through high school, covered in bruises, and barely with passing grades due to time lost as a drug mule. Despite the heavy environment, bad childhood and frequent beatings, Gabriel looked at life with a vision of things can only go better for him. And only if he was eager to discover happiness himself. When he graduated from high school he knew there was no university or college life for him. He would have to work to support his own education, and in that case he'd much rather just save up money and escape this hell hole of a life.<br/><br/>Thus Gabriel worked his ass off after graduating. Saving up every penny to run away. Things were looking up, as he had saved up quite a nice sum after a years worth of work. Gabriel decided to actively help with his stepfather's drugdealing career and earn a nice buck. Everything to run away from this life, even if it meant submerging in it even more. One night, after returning from a coffee run, he returned to find his mother blazed out of her mind, as usual. Only this time, she was wearing what seemed like an expensive red dress. When he wanted to ask her where she got it, he suddenly found himself getting backhanded to the face. As he stumbled back, his hand to his face, he noticed his stepfather wearing a rolex. The man gloated as he told Gabriel how he had found his secret stash of money and treated himself and his mother. Handsomely even. His stepfather pulled out a switchblade while a grin decorated his lips. He then proceeded to mark Gabriel by slashing him across his right temple, from cheek to hair line. He left Gabriel to bleed as he walked away, blood dripping from the knife, to grab a bottle of liquor.<br/><br/>Leaning against the window, he stared at Gabriel and took a victory mouthful. Rage filled the gentil Gabriel and he screamed, cursing out loud. During his pronounciation of motherf*cker, emphasis was laid upon the last syllable. At that point, a gust of wind that erupted out of nowhere, thrust itself against the man and threw him up, crashing him through the window and down the 17 stories that separated his apartment in the crack den from the ground. Gabriel had no idea what had happened yet decided to run away from the scene. Police would make him the prime suspect, seeing as his blood is all over the knife that fell with the man.<br/><br/>Gabriel ran that night. Faster and further than he thought his slim legs could ever take him. He came to a rest at a small roadside diner, dried blood sticking to the skin of his face. He took a seat in a nearby booth and looked out the window, at the rain that suddenly overtook the weather. He had no idea how long he sat there, for seconds turned into minutes. Minutes into hours and hours into indefinite stretches of time. He was stolen from his train of thought of how he'd imagine his life in prison, when a man took a seat in the booth across him. Along with him came a cup of hot cocoa and a plate of pancakes. The man spoke naught while he stared at Gabriel. His eyes clearing going from the cut to the look in his eyes and the bruises from previous beatings. When he broke the silence, after Gabriel had eaten, he told him he knew about what had happened. What he had done. He then proceeded to explain why the gust of wind happened and explained that there was a place where he could receive asylum from his actions, and also a better explanation - Robichaux's Academy for the Exceptional.[/list]"

Granted he tried for the most part to keep his cravings hidden. Puberty was a bitch needless to say the least.<br/><br/> His parents were rather religious and tried to instill their beliefs in their son. But as they soon found out not everything was as it seemed. Soon Jack realized he wasn't like other people, even more different then he thought actually. His powers started to manifest and become more and more apparent. He tried his best to hide it, but soon his parents found out. And they had a reaction he had been fearing, they thought of him as tainted or even possessed. They brought him to church and tried to say they were cleansing his soul. But as far as he could tell it was just religious torture.<br/><br/>He eventually fought back and told them he was not only not a demon...but bi as hell. Fallowed that up with a fuck you and stormed off. When he finally returned home his things were on the front lawn. They had kicked him out, and for the first time ever Jack felt as if maybe it was really him that was wrong. Luckily before he could get too far a car pulled up, and the person that stepped out changed his life for the better. They explained that his powers were not a curse or some demon, but a gift from a long lived blood line that now flowed through his veins. They invited him back to the school, and of course he accepted. <br/><br/>From their he grew to find his footing in the world, embracing his new way of life and who he was to the fullest. Soon it became clear that he was skilled enough to one day teach, thus he was groomed to do just that. Jack wasn't sure if that was his chosen path so for a while he left the Coven and lived life to the fullest. He slept with who he wanted, built a fortune for himself, and got into a little trouble. But soon he felt that draw to be more, older and wiser Jackson returned to the Coven and took his place as a teacher and mentor. <br/><hr/></div></td></tr><tr><td><div style=""text-align: justify;""> </div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>"

His mother and father passed away leaving him to go live with his great aunt. She was his only surviving relative and the family had written her off as crazy. It wasn’t until he got to know her that he realized why everyone had said that. His Aunt was a witch. The gene had skipped his mother’s generation and somehow passed onto him.<br/><br/>His aunt astonished with the fact that it had passed on to a male, as he’d come from a family of all female witches decided to train him. She could feel his potential power and wanted to teach him to harness is. When his first ability emerged though, and he ventured into his own hell, and made his way back out, without truly going through the entire Descensum ritual that she became overwhelmed and sent him away to Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional, she had attended many years before and had been informed by some of her old class mates that they had just started accepting male students. <br/><br/>Once at school Deacon made rather fast friends with quite a few people, but Cordelia Goode and Jackson Morison (both a year his junior) always managed to stand out, Jackson being the wild child and Cordelia being more studious. Deacon was always one to study and he excelled in mental exercises, but he loved to use them for things he shouldn’t, the perfect combination of both wild and intellectual. Telepathy, mind control, and dream walking are just a few of the skills he picked up while at school. <br/><br/>As the years went on, student came and went, but the three friends remained. Jackson finally went off to find himself and do whatever it was that Jackson did outside the walls of the school, and Deacon was proud of him. Cordelia and he stayed however dealing with the new kids that came in and Cordelia’s mother when she felt the need to ‘grace’ the coven with her presence. Deacon had seen so much go on in his time at the school that he decided to begin to take psychology classes so that he could help the kids learn to cope with things and their new lives.<br/><br/>It wasn’t until two particular kids came through the halls of Robichaux's that his world truly changed. Theo and Layla rocked Deacon’s world just enough that the man realized he truly did have a heart, it just more often than not didn’t want to work. Deacon had been in school via online courses since he’d turned eighteen, and was about 3 years away from getting his degree when the two arrived. Theo quickly earning the role of little brother in Deacon’s mind, but Layla…Layla was something else. He wanted to help her and spent as much time with her as he could. She was so very damaged that Deacon stayed in Louisiana as long as he could, but only six months after the kids got to the school he left for Stanford to finish his degree so that he might be able to truly give the girl the psychological help that she needed, not thinking about what leaving might do to the poor young thing.<br/><br/>Fresh out of school with a doctorate in clinical psychology Deacon has made his way home and spent the few days following the introduction ritual watching the new students of Robichaux's trying to get a handle on things. With the introduction of the under classmen however, it’s time to stop lurking in the shadows. Personalities will soon start testing eachother’s mental limits and push buttons they don’t know they are pushing. In Deacon’s mind it’s his job to not only help the children live harmoniously together and survive the trials, but perhaps come out less mentally damaged then the generations before them as well.<br/></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>"

I'm hoping he'd just get ignored until everyone gets out on the lawn so they can regroup and finish whatever Delia has in mind. I don't want to make a random post about nothing cause I can just make a long post when they're all together what he has been doing the last like five minutes. Instead of making two posts.

I think for now for the sake of keeping things going that we move on within the thread, and that we allow Magic and Vain to join the thread when they get to it. Its easy enough to have a character walk in as those at the table are chatting. Perhaps another round (or two) of posting with chatting before we start the lesson so the those we are still waiting on have a chance to join in. And if they don't get to it by then we will try and work something out. But at least this way we all get to rp and get to know each others characters before digging into a lesson."

The GM staff does understand people have real lives, but at a certain point we as a staff have to decide to move the thread along so that the group doesn't die out. The reason I took so long to post as Eve and Vain took so long is he was having his third surgery and we had to wait till he was coherent enough to get out a post and I was taking care of the kid by myself for almost a week. For that hold up I do apologize, but I figured there were other members of the game who would post while we were away.<br/><br/>That all being said there is no need to be passive aggressive here in the OOC, if you have issues you should come to the GM staff about it. If you are going to take a while to get to posting, drop us a line and let us know so we aren't in the dark."

And as VV said after a while we have to consider the game as a whole and see to getting things moving. We asked and gave a great deal of time for everyone post, even had Ember ask how things were with you. We did everything we could to allow you to post and even made a plan in case you didn't get into the lesson so you would still have something fun to rp. But yes in the end there is only so long we can wait.<br/><br/>That being said I find that this comment is rather rude and uncalled for, and as VV said uncalled for passive aggressive here in the OOC. So please if you have any issue bring it to the Gm's and not here on the thread. As it can make people think the wrong thing, upset people and make them uncomfortable in the end.<br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote""><a href=""https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=195955.msg10522422#msg10522422"">Quote from: Red Stella on 23-09-2014, 02:26:26</a></div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">You don't consider that a decent post?!?   Boy do I feel inadequate now...<br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div><br/>Red your post was just fine, don't ever let anyone elses comments make you or your writing feel inadequate. ~hugs~<br/>"

We have waited nearly a whole month to allow people the chance to get into the scene. Unless life really has eaten you(which it happens we know), you had more then enough time to post. Even after waiting that long gave you just a bit more time. But even if it does get rough we do have to keep the game moving. If I were to go back into the hospital(knock on wood) I wouldn't expect you all to wait on me for weeks possible a month or so before getting to post again. I honestly think (unless life kicks you in the gut) a post a week isn't asking to much from out players and staff.<br/><br/>I am sorry if you felt pressured but after so long we really do have to move on to help keep the game alive. This was our last attempt to really try and make sure you were part of the larger plot going on.<br/><br/>If you have anything else that you need to discuss please bring it to pms as it does tend to make people uncomfortable to see such discussion going on within the occ. And it really should be discussed between a player and the gms as it is. :) We are not upset and are really trying to make sure everyone gets to be part of this game. We just felt your comment was a bit unneeded and voiced our thoughts on it."

Do with it what you wish.<br/><br/><strong>To Ember:</strong>If you would like to run a scene with Deacon where he talks with Cadance I'm fine with that. He's noticed she is shy and quiet and feels out of place. As a shrink it's kinda his job to make her feel like she matters. Just let me know.<br/><br/><strong>To Everyone (Upperclassmen and Underclassmen):</strong>While I did not address everyone verbally in my post the chance to interact with him was given at the end of my post. Please feel free to come to Deacon with questions, concerns, or anything like that. He's there to teach and observe.<br/><hr/><br/>That being said, I have one more thing to say. While making my post it became extremely difficult for me to run back over everything that had happened and comment on it because we have no posting order.

(Don't listen to him, he planned it all along!)<br/><br/><br/><strong>Meta</strong>: First off, Grolo's character sheet was constructed around my initial mental conception of his character.  That is to say I'm not powerbuilding or min-maxing, nor am I striving for an optimized build.<em>That said</em>, I imagine Grolo acting in two primary capacities: an in-combat support caster using typical bard buffs for the party and ranged attacks when he runs dry, and an out-of-combat sweet talker, bluffer, and all around get-us-out-of-this-situation-without-resorting-to-fighting-er.  IC, Grolo is a skilled orator and has successfully made a living by talking to people, so I figure he's pretty good at it; this will be reflected in his skills (and possible feats).  While his impulsivity makes him a poor diplomat, he excels at other forms of peacefully defusing situations, such as bluffing or intimidating.  This also includes using illusions (e.g.<em>Silent Image</em>), deception, and stealth.<br/><br/>In terms of alignment, he's squarely in Chaotic Good.  He won't jive well with party members who do blatantly evil acts, nor will he accept whatever justifications they may offer.  Finally, I've glanced at the ""Leadership Roles,"" and I think the only ones that make sense for Grolo are Councillor and General.  Basically, he excels at whipping people up and getting them into a certain mindset, and Grolo actually has a moral code and specific set of principles that would work well in the sense of him psyching soldiers up for battle.  I guess the fallback could always be ""Court Bard.""<br/><br/><br/><strong>Ability Scores</strong><br/>--<span class=""bbc_u"">STR (6)</span>: ""What do I look like, an orc?.""  Grolo possesses a great many talents, but he has never considered picking up heavy things to be one of them.  He is weak even for a gnome, the inevitable result of a relatively comfortable life where the heaviest object he's had to lift was a bar stool.<br/>--<span class=""bbc_u"">DEX (14)</span>: ""If your fingers are quick enough, you won't even need magic.""  A career spent dodging drunken punches and rotting vegetables has made Grolo quite quick on his feet.  In addition, he has naturally nimble fingers, useful for embellishing stories and dazzling eyes while he makes a getaway.  Finally, his dexterity reflects his frequent practice with bows and throwing knives.<br/>--<span class=""bbc_u"">CON (14)</span>: ""Rub some dirt on it you milksop.""  Gnomes are surprisingly durable despite their willowy frame, and Grolo is no exception.  Many a night spent sleeping on hardpack beneath an open sky and many a morning spent nursing a frosty ale has toughened him up considerably.<br/>--<span class=""bbc_u"">INT (12)</span>: ""Nothing is particularly hard to learn when you break it down to the basics.""  Grolo prides himself on his extensive and thorough memory, a definite boon when he may have to recite<em>Bron's Epic</em>or the<em>Frightful Fate of the Falcon King </em>at the drop of a hat.  He is also a quick learner, able to acquire new skills at a rapid pace.  He may not be a wizard, but Grolo can usually hold his own in a battle of wits.<br/>--<span class=""bbc_u"">WIS (8)</span>: ""Oh dear Lisa, you must understand, just this one thing: my tongue is both my most treasured ally and my most reviled enemy.""  For every brilliant performance, Grolo will be sure to somehow ruin it with a rash action or thoughtless statement.  His impulsivity, lack of restraint, and frequent obliviousness all stem from the same lack of wisdom.<br/>--<span class=""bbc_u"">CHA (18)</span>: ""That woman tried to impale me on a pitchfork last night, and I<em>still </em>managed to talk her out of her smallclothes!""  Grolo's striking hair, warm expression, and well-kept appearance reflect his gregarious and outgoing nature.  He can easily attract a crowd with a few choice words, enthralling them with grand comedies and epic dramas, or riling them into a frenzy if he so chooses.  On a more personal level, Grolo thrives off of attention, and will readily approach strangers and attempt to befriend them through conversation."

As an Aasimar, he certainly appears distinct from humans, and his fair skin almost seems like it shines in the right light.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Iradir has followed in the footsteps of his mother, who was also a cleric of Desna. While in many cases, clerics and priesthoods will stay in one place, whether a temple or monastery or anything else of that nature, and wait for people to seek them out, Iradir has always preferred the idea of seeking out problems that he can help with. Once his training was complete, he set out to do just that. It was quite obviously his mother's influence that helped him make the decision to travel as a cleric of Desna. His mother, a normal human, is simply too old now to continue to do so. But Iradir, like all Aasimar, age much slower than humans.<br/><br/>Iradir was essentially raised in the priesthood, but having spent a few years traveling now, he has learned things about life that you aren't taught when you grow up in a temple.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Iradir is generally a good person, and tries to help people when he can, though he prefers not to owe anything or be stuck somewhere if he can help it. While he's not opposed to the notion of staying in one place, he would need to have a good reason to do so. Desna is a wanderer, a traveler, and so too should her cleric's be. At least, in Iradir's mind that is the case. Of course, if he were needed to help make things better, then he would stay just about anywhere until it was done.<br/><br/>Iradir, while at times whimsical, is a dedicated person. He works to try and better the world however he can.<br/><br/><strong>Party Role:</strong>Obviously as a Cleric, Iradir can function very well as a healer and buffer, and somewhat as a secondary part of the ""front line"" if necessary, and can provide supplementary offensive magic too. In regards to his ""leadership role"" as part of the campaign, he'll have quite high wisdom, like any (capable) Cleric, making him suitable as a Councilor, High Priest, Marshal or Treasurer."

They where feared by all the other clans but they where few and overwhelmed when the slavers came. Uria spent her teen years fighting in the arena for the amusement of the crowd. She won some small amount of fame before the crowd grew tired and a new, younger fighter came along to capture their attention. She was quickly forgotten about and, as a reward for simply living to see her twenties, she was thrown out, congratulated on winning her freedom, and left to wander the desert with nothing but the cloths on her back.<br/>Having no desire to remain in the place of her people's defeat she left and began wandering more civilized lands, marveling at the strange new customs and looking for a new clan.<br/><br/>Personality: Uria was raised to be a warrior in a clan that did not care about the distinction between men and women. She was taught that battle is glorious, and that only those who fall fighting will be allowed into the afterlife. Her time in the arena tempered this mentality, and fighting became like an art form to her as the crowd wanted to see a spectacle, not a swift death. She is proud, stubborn, but knows the value of patients and saving ones anger for the appropriate time.<br/><br/>Party Role: Hammer?<br/>Ok I haven't fully thought this one out yet. She could be simply looking for a new 'clan' to call her family, or she could be a bodyguard to someone in the group (life debt or something?). Anyway I don't want her to simply be there to hit things with her sword but I'm not 100% sure what else to do with a barbarian at the moment.<br/>Within the Kingdom she could end up as a general, she would have an understanding of how to lead men from the team fights in the arenas. Maybe more like the captain of the city watch or royal guard. Again, not fully thought out yet (honestly I saw this thread, jumped onto a character art thread on /tg/ and just started typing after finding that pic)."

All those things.<br/><br/>The disappearance of the House Rogarvia stirs chaos on Brevoy....and there is opportunity in said chaos. He tried exploit it but before he could put any plans into motion, enforcers from noble houses placed stop for his plans on revolution! So he has to depart and hastily and thus he infiltrated to expedition as 'nameless hired sword'. Seeking his opportunities to reforge sword lords (and his own legend) elsewhere than in Brevoy.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Garisto admires the sword lords of the old, so he seeks emulate them and their famed style, he is admirer of combat prowess even if it is not same as sword lords. However main reason why he seeks emulate them at all is pride that they were people who refused bend knee to violent conqueror and that they stood up and died for their ideals, noblest of goals.<br/><br/>So he similarly seeks emulate their courage and headstrong attitude and have personal code of honor in regards battle and life. He has not complete dictionary and he probably works on his entire life to form his personal code of honor same way how he works hone his bladecraft. He seeks test himself in battle and seeks glory for fame and recognition and immortalize himself as legend. As nothing inspires future sword lords more than tales of one after all.<br/><br/><strong>Party Role:</strong> A melee combatant, also unassuming tank who does not use armor nor high HP nor DR but AC and defensive fighting (also use of combat expertise) as means defend itself and also able deliver harm on foes in close combat. Also be able disable foes either disarming or intimidating them with dazzling display of martial prowess.<br/><hr/><br/><strong>Personal restrictions:</strong> In sexual wise I am quite open, only what I dislike really is dismemberment, gay rape, vore/gore and any toilet stuff. What comes to other matters I try post once per day but I may pass a day if busy elsewhere or other projects.<br/><br/><strong>Personal desires:</strong> I want to play as warrior who forges his own epic legend and carves path to become 'king by might of sword' and aldori swordlord prestige class and it's history is appealing. Overall I expect epic duels with worthy foes or facing army of faceless mooks which mob down (eventually) on solo. Also dashing heroics and saving princesses (and lay with them or perhaps even marry). The overall kingdom building and becoming king/ruler is appealing to me and I want take part of it (even if all what my char can afford is skill with sharp blade).<br/></div></div></div>"

Everything after that is perfectly clear though. Being purchased by Lord Weschinal of Ostenso. She and her brother were performers - acrobats, players in the Lord's personal circus that would entertain his many guests at the manor. That the lord pelted them with bright baubles and gaudy clothing did not change what Alya and Rothero were, however; slaves.<br/><br/>This was made very clear when Rothero, always the more rash of the two, refused to perform. First there was a bit of gentle cajoling. Then the lash. Alyah tried to leap in to aid her brother, but found herself in the grip of sorcery. She was frozen, forced to watch as her brother, her one connection to those faded memories, was beaten bloody y their laughing, 'loving' master, and then carried away.<br/><br/>Alyah never heard from Rothero again, though Lord Weschinal made if known the boy was being well-cared for ina place more ""suited to his temperament."" he always said this with a smile that made Alyah's skin crawl - and she knew, certainly that her brother's well-being depended on her good behavior. So Alyah served as before. Dancing. Acrobatics. Sometimes other things; Her lord was a fool to put a blade in her hands and allow her to stain her fingers with the blood of one of his guests, and she more the fool for not turning on him then and there. After that first murder, it got a little easier.<br/><br/>The fat lord Wescinal grew complacent with his pet. He loaned her out, even!  Some of his friends wanted her to entertain at their tables, others had a petty rival to dispose of, and a few... well, best to not dwell on some things. But her master was too comfortable. He let it slip that her brother had died that same day that he dared rebel. Casual-like, a little quip in the conversation.<br/><br/>She didn't need a blade to do the work that night. Nor did she want one. All who saw the little Cheliaxian's throat torn out by her claws would know perfectly well who had done it. And with that in mind, Alyah fled.<br/><br/>By sheer fortune, she's survived long enough to not only find her way to the far end of the River Kingdoms, but even to thrive. The forests bring back memories of her forgotten life, and the people do not tolerate slavery. It's something to her shame that she's had to put her... talents to work to keep herself fed and equipped at times. She is no mere thug or bandit, though she knows she would be judged by their company.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">personality</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">   Alyah has tried to put her sordid past behind her... with mixed success. She has an intense sense of right and wrong, though unfortunately her intention of ""right"" sometimes just mirrors ""what Alyah wants."" The one scruple she will not set aside is a hatred of slavery or other forced servitude, at least for thinking creatures. With her own hard-won freedom, she's decided to throw herself into life, to celebrate her own existence. She's somewhat hedonistic, and still carries the tastes of fine food, wine, and clothing from her days of servitude. Despite her apparent celebrant nature, dark moods do sweep over her at times; Under the good cheer is a predator who's survived the hard lessons of slavery and the wilderness of the River Kingdoms by her own might and guile.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Description</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Alyah has a very definite leonine cast to her feline features. Rounded ears, golden eyes with round pupils and a squared muzzle set with long whiskers make her clearly different from others in her company. Her body is well-muscled, though not brawny, covered in a pelt of tawny fur; this fur is thinner around her neck, where the skin has been scarred by chafing. Other scars mar her body, knicks and cuts of blades, mostly. when in unfamiliar company, she tends to keep the cowl of her cape up, for what good it does. When among friends, she tends to wear rather little; enough to mind their sensibilities, or incliment weather. She tries at all times to maintain a powerful presence, through posture, stance, or positioning; She looms over those who bother her, she sprawls over seating like she owns it, and she presses eye contact until the other person blinks. </div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Stat block</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Alyah<br/>Female Catfolk Rogue 2<br/>CN Medium Humanoid (catfolk)<br/><strong>Init</strong> +3; <strong>Senses</strong> scent (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/special-abilities#TOC-Scent); Perception +5<br/><hr/><strong>Defense</strong><br/><hr/><strong>AC</strong> 16, touch 13, flat-footed 13 (+3 dex, +3 armor)<br/><strong>hp</strong> 16 (2d8+2)<br/><strong>Fort</strong> +1, <strong>Ref</strong> +6, <strong>Will</strong> +0<br/><strong>Defensive Abilities</strong> Evasion, Cat's Luck<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Evasion</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">   At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility.

Donatello was a bright, active lad, who enjoyed playing outside and pretending to be a hero. Unfortunately, as he grew to be a teenager and was introduced to his extended family, his parents discovered that he was Unbound, set outside the strands of Fate. Fearful for their son's safety at the hands of the witches who controlled Fate (and the men who controlled the witches), they sent him to live with relatives in the Lucani provinces, who were wealthy enough but hardly considered part of the Caligari noble family.<br/><br/>Here, he was raised as Angelina Caligari, the supposed daughter of the head of the household and his favoured courtesan. Donatello was said to have died in a tragic riding accident, removing the threat of an Unbound man from the family. Angelina was considered too unattractive to have any prospects as a courtesan, and in any event, the objective was to keep Donatello away from the noble halls where Fate Witches lurked. Therefore, Angelina was raised to be a ladies' maid, intending to serve the wives of merchants and minor nobles.<br/><br/>When Angelina was twenty and serving a kindly old merchant's wife, she caught the attention of Antonia, the Master Knight of Vodacce's only Chapter house of the Knights of the Rose and Cross. Antonia recognised Angelina's status as Unbound, and saw her potential as a worthy Knight, so arranged for her to serve in the Chapter house, first as a servant, then, once nobody cared about her movements anymore, as an Initiate. Antonia and the knights of her Chapter know that Angelina is a man, but they protect her secret as the Knights always protect each other. She chose the name Renata as her knightly name, but is still happy to go by Angelina for most purposes.<br/><br/>Once her training was complete, Angelina was sent to Montaigne in the company of a wealthy patron of the Knights, to whom she was assigned as both overt maid and covert bodyguard. She remained in Montaigne after this first mission, attaching herself to the much greater presence of the Knights in Montaigne, seeking out adventure and opportunities to defend the innocent. She usually travels in the guise of a maidservant, only acting independently when the situation calls for it.<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/><br/>Angelina is an unremarkable woman in her mid-twenties, slightly taller than most, with grey eyes and dark brown hair. She dresses very conservatively, and almost always wears a veil that blurs her face just a little. She is in very good physical condition, with perhaps more muscle definition than is entirely attractive in a woman. She carries no visible weapons, and appears to be a simple ladies' maid. When undisguised, Donatello is an exceptionally unremarkable man, and one who carries himself with a submissive air that would be deemed ""unmanly"" in most places.<br/><br/>Equipment:<br/><br/>Rapier (2k2)<br/>Main gauche (1k2)<br/>3 x Throwing Knives (1k1), concealed in her bodice, sash and hair<br/>6 guilders<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Starting cash</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Roll Result: HopeFox rolled: 1d10, keeping 1 dice<br/>Comment: <br/>Result: 6, <br/>Total: 6<br/></div></div>"

(""Ren"")<br/><br/>Born to an engaged-but-never-married couple, Ren has grown up in the shadow of illegitimacy: raised by his father's kin on his grandfather's estate in Vodacce, and treated well enough for all that he might otherwise be seen as a mark of shame, he longed to seek his fortune in the wider world.  Very recently, that chance arrived...but in a way that he neither sought nor enjoyed.<br/><br/>His Castillian mother and paternal grandmother both having died some years before, he had watched the estate dwindle in spite of all that his grandfather could do.  Finally, not long after his seventeenth birthday, his grandsire took him on a long walk around the grounds to explain certain matters--how the many enemies of their family gathered at court to turn the Don's ear and heart against them, the treacherous and cruel nature of his mother's kinfolk, the slender protection granted to them due to the affection of the Don’s dying mother...and his own regrets at having kept his only grandson at such length, the better to spare his life when the long-delayed reckoning came.  Now that their protector had died, and seeing the inevitable collision and the forces arrayed against him, the elderly nobleman knew the moment to act had come.  Belatedly recognizing the boy as his true heir, he gave Ren his blessing to depart.<br/><br/>Thus both enlightened and partly reconciled to the older man, Ren took his leave that very evening, bearing with him a sternly worded order to repair the family's honor by his actions rather than squandering his years on mere revenge.  His grandfather's last coins burdened his purse, a well-used blade hung on one hip, and the horse he had chosen from the stable was sure-footed, if not swift.  Thus he made his way forth into the world, and to the nearest port where he sold the horse and sought passage on the first well-reputed ship that offered him a berth, intent on finding a place to begin his search.<br/><br/>He ended up in Montaigne, where he fell in with the Knighthood of the Rose and Cross after a series of unpleasant and improbable events too long to relate here.  His patron in the society, the Chevalier de X---------, seems glad enough to have the young man around, especially since Ren makes a passable valet.  His talent for patient observation, combined with an innocent and almost pretty appearance, has already been of benefit when he suffers to be mistaken for a mere servant.  This stings his pride, of course, but so far he has borne up well.<br/><br/>(Remaining family--because his mother was to have been his father's second wife, Ren has a couple of older half-sisters, both married in varying degrees of happiness.  He may have nieces and nephews that he has not met.  There are also his mother's kin about whom he knows nothing save that they are treacherous and cruel, and his mother was deeply afraid of what they might do if they found her.  Should he find that they had anything to do with her death, or that of his father, he will likely decide that a little revenge is in order...)<br/><br/>Ren is short and slight, dark of hair and eye, with olive skin, combining the most comely features of his twin heritage.  To his dismay, he is far more likely to be called ‘pretty’ than ‘handsome’, even as he exploits this seeming innocence to best effect.<br/><br/>Swordsman: School of

An occasional breeze sent irritating puffs of dust flying off the ground, but the comforting warmth of the sun was almost enough to endure it. Atop the peak of the world, for the first time, a sweeping horizon unfolds before your eyes. A colossal creature in the distance flies towards the horizon, its wingspan casting a shadow over an entire city. Its piercing cry rings out even across the boundless land, provoking a flock of white birds to take flight in a cacophony of frenzied squawking. A gentle wind wraps itself around you, playfully grazing your hair and ears, creeping up your nose. The air had a crisp, clean smell; absolute purity, nature untouched in any form by pollution, or disaster. It almost felt like it carried a healing property; a soothing, cool breeze licking every ache and scrape on your body. The faint sounds of running water nearby only serve to remind you of a nice hot shower; you can feel dirt and grain on your neck, in your nails, even scraping against your foot inside your shoes. Nearby, a steep, winding slope leads back down to lower altitude. </div>"

He was maybe five foot intimidating, with rosy red cheeks and round glasses whose lenses were at least a quarter thick, but he was the man that paid Ry's salary, so like it or not - he usually didn't care one way or the other - Ry had to do what he said if he wished to continue living out of the studio apartment he was renting. Looking up from the novel he was thumbing through, he fixed the other man - Mr. Fowler - a question look while stifling a yawn and trying his best to effect an interested look. The question his eyes were asking, oh so politely yet unspoken, was what the fuck do you want, sir?<strong>""Go grab this fine young lady a copy of '<em>Something Wicked This Way Comes</em>'!""</strong>He was leering now, with a creepy old man smile curling his lips, as he looked back at Ry while still trying to be curious the the blonde on the other side of the counter. Then again, he probably still lived in the basement of the parent's house, and this was the closeted he'd ever get to anyone - anything - remotely attractive what with his pockmarked face, a sign of acne left untreated and picked at from his teenage years, and his pseudo monk look in terms of hair. It was the polite, yet sarcastic way to say that the old lecher was going bald. But why not mock him quietly when he can't hear what you are thinking? Still, his face screwed up into a nasty expression as he yelled,<strong>""Today maybe?! I think we have some extra copies in the back!""</strong><br/><br/>That was a lie, but Ryder sighed and pushed off the counter he was leaning again before closing his book. He mentally saved the place he was at in it and winded his way around the wooden behemoth so that he could get into the bookshop proper. It was a small building, one of the last still standing as space was being gobbled up to make room for a new Wal-mart Super Center, but the owner - Mrs. Fowler - was holding on to it with all the stubbornness of fifty elderly women her age. Not until she's dead, Rick always said. Rick, if you didn't know, was the balding manager barking and leering as he foamed at the mouth over a college freshman with a B-Cup. He planned on selling out to Wal-mart the second his old lady croaked, since he stood to make a killing from both her estate and this lousy little infested hole in the wall.<em>Something Wicked This Way Comes</em>, huh? More like<em>Something Wicked Right Fucking In Front of You</em>.<br/><br/>Leaving the store proper behind him, Ry found his was picking through the stacks for a book he was sure wasn't even in stock anymore. He wondered what a girl like her was doing looking for a book from the 60s, but maybe she was just into that sort of things. Vintage books and such. A forgotten place like this would be the place too look after all, or the library, but whatever. If he had never read the book before and knew the twist in it, he would sometime enjoy the idea of meeting Mr. Dark and taking his promise of any desire granted. But then he'd end up getting bound to servitude and no thank you. Still, the idea was still slightly appealing even as he picked his way back to where other books by Mr. Bradbury's books where and sure enough there was just one copy left. Ry studied it in its place for a second before he reached out for it, stroking its spine like an old lover before pulling it from the shelf. It let out a soft moaning creak as he opened it, and then the bulb over his head exploded and the dimly lit room went blindingly white.<br/><br/>A fog settled over Ry's mind in the next few minutes, even though his grasp on time had slipped and the entire period felt like a millennium gone by, and when his eyes opened again he was looking over a great horizon as clouds passed through his knees. This couldn't be right, but then again, what was right? It was an enigma to him, a teasing puzzle at the front of his mind, but the answer to his questions eluded him. So Ry blinked uncertainly at this new phenomenon, and pushed his hair out of his eyes after the gentle breeze swept by and lightly kissed his exposed naked face. Glancing down at himself, he remember being dressed like this; blue jeans, black shirt, and a pair of sneakers, but the smock he was wearing seemed alien. What the hell was a hobbit anyways, and why did they change? With that piece discarded, Ry had also noticed the book he was holding, but as he thumbed though it again he noticed that it contained nothing more than blank page after blank page, and even the cover seemed to have been robbed of all its color. Still, he held it close to his body, unlike the smock, and gave the new land a questioning look. He had done that earlier he thought, but this time it was different. This time he was questioning himself. Until, of course, something rudely derailed his train of thought.<br/><br/><strong>""What. The. Fuck.""</strong><br/><br/>The cawing of birds in the distanced answered him, and it was then that Ry knew that he wasn't alone up here. However, despite his possible company, the sound of rushing water had reminded him that there were more pressing matters to attend to. Dirt and grime had build up since awakening from that fog like dream that lead to now, and a building urge in his stomach was ushering him towards the winding slope in the distance. Whatever awaited down there seemed to be calling for him, even if it wasn't, since his desire to explore this fantasy - or was it real? - was starting to feel as if it was pulling him every which way. But priorities first. Always priorities.<strong>""I don't know bout you guys, but I'm heading this way,""</strong>he called out with a wave over his shoulder. Adventure awaited no one. Even if it was in the same direction as the giant s fuck creature that was capable of shrouding an entire city with its  shadow. Then again, the more distance between one place to the sun (was that thing in the sky the same sun?) or any source light, the bigger the shadow you cast."

It was strange... how had he even gotten here when the last thing he remembered was taking a nap since his class was at a stand still thanks to one of his teachers disobedience to the regulated speed while driving.<br/><br/>Maybe this was just some vaguely odd dream, but then again none of his dreams went as far as the lavish scene before him. It usually entailed some wet dream with one of the girls from his college. If this was a dream then he'd just play along with it until he was rudely awaken by someone.<br/><br/>""Hey do you really think it's a good idea to just walk in a random direction?"" Asking as he figured they would listen to the voice of reason even if it was a<em>dream</em>.<br/><br/>Prior to events currently unfolding with the two other men and himself....<br/><hr/>Like many episodes of exploration, experimentation, and discovery, this one started in college. He came to college with two very achievable goals in my minds: getting a degree and getting rid of his old ways. The first was normal enough. Computer science seemed as good a degree as any, and he'd had some light programming classes in high school. So, get a degree, get a job, make tons of money. The American dream, right?<br/><br/><em>Right</em>.<br/><br/>And then there was the second goal. Farron wasn't exactly sure how to pursue that one. Several unfortunate and demoralizing incidents throughout his high school days had made him quite socially passive and quite the in a nice way of saying. As embarrassing as it was to admit, he'd had no real social skills outside dealing with his former friends who were nothing more than his sheep to direct.<br/><br/>Back in high school, his problem had was primarily the lack of a good personality. Being a very studious and unfortunately rather introverted fellow to disguise the serpent underneath. People mistook this as snobbish which was true sadly.<br/><br/>But he had soon discovered that in college those problems weren't nearly as prevalent. Most of the worthless chaff in life either didn't make it to college, or got cut out of it early on. Bonus! Those that were left seemed much more like himself than any clique in high school. Farron was sure he could find a group of friends to fit in with.<br/><br/><em>Then again that had been his mind set in high school and that hadn't turned out so peachy keen either.</em><br/><br/>The young man in some odd way missed his old way of life and even envied his friends who followed him through he'll and back during his<em>conquests</em>for various things. They seemed so childish thinking back on it.<br/><br/>The professor was late today. It was later found out via another professor that he'd gotten a ticket for speeding. Good old traffic patrol. If they can catch you going 30 in a 25, they will. He made a mental note not to oink the next time he passed one of their cruisers. Delaying the professor definitely fell into the category of public service. All that left now was to sit back and sleep the next hour away...."

It was hard to get solid footing, and warm wind brought the taste of gravel in your mouth. As you travel downwards, the warmth of the sun faded away. Critters previously seen on the mountain scurried away from you in a frenzied panic. Looking around, some of the greenery strangely had frost forming on it. Even further down, the slope was completely covered in ice. The creeping frost reached forward, climbing up the mountain. It picked up speed all too quickly, racing past and freezing the ground beneath you. The air itself seemed to freeze as the temperature plummeted. A chilling vortex of winds raged around the area, sending icy winds battering against you. As you make your way down the mountain, a monstrous icy being clad in golden adornments turns its cold eyes towards you.<br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/51/Windyportrait.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/83/Windy.jpg)</div><strong>Ice Deity Astal</strong><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Legendary-class 9105/???/???/??/x</strong></span>____________________________________________________________________________<br/>______________________________________________________________________<br/><em>??</em><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>In that moment, its piercing gaze freezes you..

He played games before, and in the case of man versus mountain, the latter usually won when falling down one. He didn't want to be another statistic. That is, after all, assuming that a lot of people took spills down mountains wherever he was. He stopped then for a second when his foot slipped on what he considered gravel, and skidded for a second before he managed to regain his composure. Was it him, or did the temperature suddenly take a hit? Then again, he wasn't used to the weather here - wherever here was - so it might have been the usual thing. Warm day, chilly night. Like a desert. His thoughts were interrupted when the other member of their apparent party voiced his opinion.<br/><br/><em>""Hey do you really think it's a good idea to just walk in a random direction?""</em><br/><br/><strong>""As opposed to staying still?""</strong>Ry shot as he slowed to a stop again, at least this time on a part of the mountain side that wasn't as steep. His calves were already starting to burn, since even though he looked physically fit, the man never really kept up with a normal exercise routine. He crouched down to rub at them as the others caught up to him, before sighing and looking back up at the sky.<strong>""Fuck yes, I think it's a good idea to walk in a random direction. Please tell me I wasn't the only one to see that behemoth in the sky?"" </strong>Blue eyes flicked from one to the other, only now really getting a good look at the two of them, before another sigh left his lips.<strong>""Besides, every which way is a random direction here. So why not explore? Plus I thought I heard water this way, and I want to get this gritty taste out of my mouth.""</strong>Water would have to wait sadly, since as soon as Ry finished talked, chaos erupted in the form of frenzied panic and what sounded like glass forming a spiderweb crack. Ice. Perfect. Lovely. Just what they needed on a decent down a mountain, so in order to proceed, Ry figured that getting as close to the ground and inching along was the best course of action. Well, for him at least, the others could do as they pleased.<br/><br/>Of course, maybe the descent was a bad idea. While he had originally wanted to get down the mountain to escape the chance of being cobbled up by one behemoth, good old Murh decided to fuck him - them - again in the form of a monstrous icy being. Chilling sapphire eyes turned towards the trio and Ry who was closest to the ground fell on his as and tried to scoot his way back up the mountain. The mountain, on the other hand, wasn't having it and decided it was best for him to slip and slide where he was. Fucking ice. Maybe this thing was causing it? Which was what Ry would have thought if he hadn't been trying to put some distance between himself and it. the god's eyes flashed, blindingly bright, and just like that the golden clad fuck vanished as soon as it had appeared. Forgetting, of course, the mess of ice it had left on the mountain side. Bitter thoughts filled Ry's head as he compared the being with some unsavory characters he had encountered in his life, but kept them all to himself for a second before pushing things out of his head. No longer panicking, his eyes were transfixed on the other thing that had been left being. Ry allowed himself to slide further down the mountain towards the object, before fighting for purchase on the mountain side in order to hold it. At least it wasn't fuck all freezing to the touch. It was cool, rather, and nice.<strong>""Hey look at this!""</strong>he called back to the others, competing with another voice as he did as a wave of an intoxicating flowery smell washed over him. He'd take it over the biting chill that filled his lungs any day.<br/><br/><em><strong>""Hurry!""</strong></em>the voice commanded, following by the scampering of feet and jiggling of bells in the distance. Ry's eyes drifted towards the source as he took a defensive stance - or what felt like one rather, he had only been in a few fights in his life and he wasn't the best. His size was usually the winning factor in most cases, but in some it also caused him to lose due to dirty blows - only to relax for the most part when he saw the gaggle of weird creatures rushing up alongside redhead with a modest chest and a not so modest attire. She stopped as soon as she spotted the group and the creatures around her tripped and tumbled on by and Ry barked out of a laugh at he sight. Did he mention that she was kinda sorta floating? Upside down too.<em>Am I going fucking crazy? I must be. Right?</em>Either that, or this was the weirdest damn dream he had ever had, which he ruled out when he remembered that you couldn't physically hurt in dreams and both his legs and ass were screaming in pain.<br/><br/>A question was posed, followed by another and a pout as she looked back down the mountain, and Ry finally stood up to brush his pants off. The glowing fragment was still in his hand, but he slowly inched back to the group. He would have approached the woman, but her little army of critters were probably protective whereas she didn't seem to really have a care in the world. Well, that was a lie, since she seemed to care about missing whatever the hell it was that just happened.<strong>""Did you miss what?""</strong>he finally asked as he made it back to Madison and Farren. He passed the hunk of ice to them so they could get a closer look at it - since he was trusting that way, and really didn't have a reason not too. They were brothers in arms at the point, three people from Earth tossed into wherever the hell this was - before he let his eyes fall back on the redhead. While trying not to focus on her ample cleavage, Ry cleared his throat and continued,<strong>""I mean, uh... the giant behemoth in the sky? Or the gigantic ice creature? A lot has happened in the last few minutes, so its a little hard to process which it you are asking about.""</strong>He chuckled now, mostly from the delirious feeling that was overwhelming him, and he entertained the thought that maybe he had gone crazy. Everything that had been happening was borderline information overload, so he was way out of his element here. Then again, strangely, this was the most alive he had ever felt. It was almost as if this was who he always was, where the time before was him being crazy. Was that weird? Ry thought it was weird.<br/>"

So he let it slide since he might be doing the same thing in his place. That taste of gravel within his mouth from winds picking up also did horrible things to his vision making his eyes water and sting from the dust. It also served to remind him of a small desire for water. Both for his skin and for his insides as he was becoming parched for water. Whilst Ry had managed to keep himself reasonably aloft doing his decent, three fourths of the way down through it all, Madison didn't have that kind of fortune. He slipped and began tumbling down before managing to place his feet underneath him and recover.<br/><br/>He came to a undignified stop just behind where Ry had gotten to. On one hand he was okay if a bit roughed up but also he was at least caught up with Ry now. Pulling himself up a bit, he felt that the place was growing more and more bitterly cold but only now did he notice that the very winter he felt was rushing aggressively towards them. His hand went to shield his eyes from the winds as the stinging daggers of frost pierce his skin right to the bone making him shiver in reflex. His eyes looked up at this… this thing that he couldn't even begin to describe. It was awe inspiring and struck him silent and daft as his eyes couldn't help but remain upon it. It was literally holding his attention. Then when the blinding flash took him he began to try and clear his vision of that groaning in agony over being blinded like that.<br/><br/>When he recovered his vision he saw that Ry had already picked up that strange glowing ice shard and when Madison was offered it he took it up with rapt attention completely silent over what was going on. His mind was trying to catch up with what was happening. This thing left behind felt sacred, divine... even as it felt like he was holding ice in hand that would threaten to overtake him just by its existence alone. He was quickly snapped out of his trance when he heard the sound of bells and quickly staggered back onto his behind with his hands holding onto the ice shard. His eyes were focused on the woman in question as she floated in front of him. Her breasts and abundant cleavage was nearly staring him right in the face when she was looking at him upside down. As a pure blooded male it was extremely difficult to avoid gazing at him and had to force himself to rapidly blink his eyes and maintain eye contact.<br/><br/>Dumbstruck with how much was happening and looked bewildered as she demanded an answer just by the inflection in her voice.<em>""What is gone? What did you miss? What are you talking about?""</em>He would have stupidly said had Ry not beaten him to the punch on it. All the while Madison was completely forgetting what Ry just handed to him. Hence his mouth was open for a moment with no words coming out of it. Why was she staring at him like that and as she did the warmth of the surrounding area began to flood his body making him feel so much better about himself as he began to find his thoughts again. He found his eyes focusing upon her face once again as he would speak up. His tone was exasperated and he wanted to get some measure of control over the situation<strong>""Okay okay okay!

He outright despised snow since being raised in the south, yet beyond all of this one thing plagued him as the trio walked.<br/><br/>Who in the hell elected this jackass as leader?

Selling all kinds of wares from trinkets, to gear, to food, Lymsa's Cove was a buzzing hive of activity. Everywhere you looked you could see people cheering or drinking, everyone celebrating the bi-yearly Tempest Festival- an extravagant, week-long party that attracts travelers from all over. People lined up to try their hand at minigames, for a chance at prizes. The aroma of perfectly roasted, caramelized meats, fried golden-brown fish, and the sweet scent of caramel coated desserts filled the cool night air. It was hard to take more than ten steps without being offered a large pint of ale, a drunken toast, or some shady proposition. In the midst of all the action, the Treasure Tavern welcomed guests all night, though locals generally stayed away. It's 'food' was questionable at best, and the inn was more well known for being a seedy den of drunks, escorts, and underground dealings.<br/><br/>The Cove itself was made up of many different houses built atop platforms. Wooden paths winded all throughout the town, connecting the different areas. Below some areas was a clear, beautiful water that reflected the moonlight. In the center of the town, a larger strip of land hosted the main area of the Festival. Further down was the pier, a darkened area that had been closed off.<br/><br/>""Come check out my wares!"" Cried a merchant nearby. ""Everything you could ever want!""<br/><br/>""Delicious food, only here for another few days! Try our famous Verrune Chicken, the mage's favorite!""<br/><br/>A cascade of loud groans mixed with cheers erupted at one of the nearby minigame stalls. ""Nice try folks, better luck next time! Who's next to try for our great prizes?""<br/><br/>""The Tempest Festival is here,"" Aria explained. ""The piers are closed twice a year for the Tempest, it's like this biiig storm that nobody can cross, so everyone has a big party instead! Also, any guide services through the mountain will be stopped until the Festival ends tomorrow, so you're stuck here.""<br/><br/>She skipped ahead, before turning around and shuffling back towards the trio. ""You should enjoy yourselves! I'll give you this."" The strange girl handed over a small cloth pouch, filled with all sorts of assorted trinkets and random junk.<br/><br/>""If you have any questions, I live up there. Got it?"" She grinned, pointing her index finger at them like a gun.

Of course,""</strong>Ry retorted with a slight drawl, while his eyes tried not to focus on Aria's cleavage that was floating there within his personal bubble. His brain blanked a little as he wonder just how in the hell they managed to stay in that top, since there obviously no visual support that he could see as his eyes were near about fixed of them. Coughing, Ry adverted his eyes from her breasts and tried to focus on her face instead, but it was hard with her constant flipping. Madison followed up his original question and the mage finally elaborated on who this Astal was. The great ice spirit. So there was four of them? If they followed the elements, then that meant there was probably one for fire, earth and air as well. Were they all equally monstrous? Did they all give you the feeling that crawled up his spine? The tingling sensation that he could only describe as awe - not pissing his pants.<br/><br/>Settling in a sitting position - still in the air - across from Madison, the busty redhead continued in a serious tone he didn't figure her capable of. He felt another sensation now, as fear turned his blood into ice just as Astal had turned everything else into ice as he had when the  spirit appeared so suddenly. So this place... this was definitely real, not a dream that he had considered upon waking. He felt delirious now, but the creeping fear in his body had sealed his mouth shut for a change. They were hear for a reason, or so the spirits had told her. Each for their own reasons apparently and they might find that they belong here. Ry saw the truth in that, since as he had felt before, despite all the fear there was a lingering feeling of belonging and the gentle warmth thawing his fears as curiosity began to overwhelm him.<br/><br/>Finally, Aria touched down and announce both her name and that she was hungry. This insight made Ry break free of his free for the time being and a laugh raked his frame. The delirious pieces of him finally began to fade away now, but not completely and not for a while he felt. It would take time until he found himself again, but that was fine. He was fine, Ry told himself. He made it his mantra for the time being, and would repeat it whenever he felt his sanity begin to slip again.<strong>""Er, wait up!""</strong>he called after Aria and her entourage began to descend the mountain, looking back at the others with a curious look as if to ask if they were coming too. After all, who wouldn't follow that bombshell? His longer legs allowed him to catch up easily, but he still kept an air of caution as he made his way, since he really didn't want to go tumbling like Madison had. That really didn't seem like it felt any good at all.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Lymsa's Cove was certainly a place where Ry felt himself on guard even with the others around him and Aria in front with her small gaggle of creatures. The cacophony of sounds was a little overwhelming at first, in comparison to the mountain they just descended, but while Ry usually disliked places like this, he was finding himself not really bothered by the crowd. Something in his had changed when he got here, like a flip having been switched, and he had a feeling it was encounter with the spirit Astal that made him change. It had to be. One thing he was glad about, however, was that compared to the dress of the others, the guys didn't really seem that out of place. This didn't stop onlookers from gawking at them, or maybe at Aria and her group of familiars, and the merchants didn't stop from trying to take the trade goods for the clothes on their backs. Ry gave forced smiles when he had to decline and offer for his pants for a fish, since a.) he didn't like fish, and b.) he liked his pants.<br/><br/>A place called the Treasure Tavern caught his eye as they wound through the Cove, but Ry shook off whatever felt like it was drawing him there.<strong>""Is it normally like this?""</strong>Ry had asked eventually as he pulled closer to Aria and made sure he didn't step on any of her friends, and she answered by telling them that some kind of festival has going on. Ry wondered at the magnitude of the storm that was approaching, or if it was really wise to be in the port town with one on its way, but his question was cut short when she informed them that they were stuck here for a while. Just great. Lovely. He flicked a look at the others before looking back at Aria, only to have to stop in his tracks to prevent crashing into her. A small cloth pouch was thrust at them - okay, she handed it to them, but Ry felt like being a little dramatic given her character - and he took the liberty to pick through it and say  that it was mostly junk. To him at least, but it could be worth something here. It could wait to be divvied up later, Ry assumed.<strong>""Er, thanks.""</strong><br/><br/><em>""If you have any questions, I live up there. Got it?""</em><br/><br/>Don't ask him why, but when Aria did the finger gun at him - along with her little buddies - Ry reflexively tensed up. If the redhead was capable of floating like she had, who knew what else she was capable of, right? Feeling a little foolish for reacting like that, Ry let his guard drop and figured now was as good as every to start with the questions. Most pressing first, since now that he knew where she lived, he could always pick her brain later.<strong>""Actually, Aria, before you leave... where is the nearest place to rest?""</strong>he asked as his stomach grumbled. Eat too, but priorities first, Body. If his knowledge of every fantasy game he had ever played, places to sleep usually always had a place to eat. He just wanted to wash up first, and then maybe find a way to make money - either through menial tasks or something - so that he could eat and rest for the night. The others could do what they wanted, which he was sure they would do anyways. He kind of wanted some alone time anyways, even though they just met."

Mostly because when he doesn't he is deeply worried he may wind up getting zapped or incinerated by magic considering the fact that she is a full blooded mage since by the fact that she floats and has a unique entourage of pets. She was moving from person to person explaining things as they go and the sing song voice she gave them made him initially think she was capricious and child like in her own little world since she seemed incapable of concentrating too much. But he wasn't writing her off as dumb, no no no, he's under the impression she uses that as a way to get people off their guard socially with her and to hide her own secrets.<strong>""So you commune with spirits. But what do you mean we have been called? What exactly called us? Do the spirits know perhaps?""</strong>Madison was beyond the point of trying to play this according to the logic of his home world and was just going along with this world's rules and explanation. From the looks of it magic worked and was very much tangible.<br/><br/>As soon as she introduced herself the warmth and dust of the mountain came over him once more reminding him to follow along and quickly lest he get left behind and to his own devices. She said that she was hungry and since cooking was one of the few things he was good at he would make a courteous offer to their first friend, maybe one of the few willing to be helpful.<strong>""Maybe I can cook something up so we don't have to wait long for sustenance?""</strong>He suggested upon the way as he wanted to try and coax some kind of information about any unique cuisine that was there for them to partake in. Not to mention the idea came across his mind that if he had something to contribute for her or at least a reason for him to stick around maybe she would give him some lessons on magic. And he had the sense of shame to at least humble himself and ask her. Either way that would take some time as he would have questions for her along the way.<strong>""You say you commune with spirits. Can anyone do such a thing and if thats the case how are you able to fly or levitate? Is it magic?""</strong>Madison was eager to soak up knowledge and for him this was a bit of a dream come true for him as he loved the idea of real magic. Either way Madison would continue to favor his legs a bit after that tumble since he was a bit tender from that fall but he had to move on lest he be left behind. He wouldn't complain about it.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Upon entrance into Lymsa's Cove, Madison did have to admit it made a nice impression upon him. Soft luminescent glow of many lanterns burning over the night must have been beautiful but this Weekly Festival made him wonder if this place had a different side of things when it wasn't so cheerful. Either way he was glad to have come here on such a good time. The smell of a freshly cooked leg of some kind of exotic bird he didn't recognize made his mouth water and his stomach rumble. However he didn't have anything worth while to sell that he did not absolutely need like his clothes. Then there was a number of people happily drinking and singing folk songs about this Festivals origin. Madison stopped to hear a song.<br/><br/><em>There once was a sailor named Kalan the Fool,<br/>A prideful blowhard no taller than a tavern stool.<br/>Drunk with a bottle of ale in his belly, <br/>He began to let his stomach rumble like jelly.<br/>Thrown out on his ass for being so loud,<br/>Along the pier he stared at the storm cloud.<br/>Off he went to steal a skiff and went out to sea,<br/>But the braggart forgot his first mate went to pee.<br/>He said loudly 'I'll sail this storm from end to end"",<br/>His ship rocked and the waves began to make the hull bend.<br/>The blowhard named Kalan was crushed by the ships mast,<br/>And the Fool finally went and breathed his last.</em><br/><br/>That song did manage to give him a good laugh he had to admit and for a moment he forgot how dirty he looked and how miserable he was with the pangs of hunger in his belly. He wasn't sure what the mini games were like but he was willing to wager that a good amount of them were rigged to be unwinnable. How else could a man make a living on running a game of chance? Either way Madison quickly moved on to catch up with the others. His eyes glanced over to the Treasure Tavern as this did get his attention as he wondered how well this place did and if this was the only option they had for shelter for the night. They didn't really have much to their names and truth be told he was loathe to part with the shard of ice tucked away. After all that thing was from one of the four great spirits. Possibly priceless and as such it shouldn't be squandered. Traveling along he could see the Cove had plenty of places to visit and thats when Aria began speaking.<br/><br/>Aria would explain things that they were stuck in this place until the Festival ends and they can then safely transverse the mountains. She gave them each a bag of trinkets and wondered a bit.<strong>""What are these for? Is this money?""</strong>He asked as he looked on inside and it looked like some metals but mostly junk trinkets. The young mage then pointed at the with some strange flair and would explain where her own home was and that they were going t be left to their own devices. Madison however wasn't going to just leave it at that as the idea of a potential teacher was too much to let slip through his fingers. It wasn't even about a place to stay as Madison would step forward in front of her and swallowed his pride.<strong>""Wait, Aria! Look, I do not know much but you already said we are stuck here. I have no means to make ends meet, no money to my name and no skills to put to use.""</strong>He then would bow deeply with his eyes cast down<strong>""I know you can teach me what I could never learn, so I implore you, take me under and teach me magic.""</strong>The college student said as he needed some kind of trade in order to make thing work. And to him it didn't matter if it looked like he had no shame because he was in no position to have pride."

If you saw one pair you seen them all if not... the internet was a blessing in that department. If these two knew anything that it was impolite to stare so obviously. Out of the three of them he was the one least impressed by the woman, and was close to opening his mouth though as he did the yellow bird which accompanied her had found a roust on his shoulder.<strong>""Get off of me you vermin.""</strong>he scowled before swatting it away with relative ease. It was bad enough that he had to come to terms with this world as real, but he would not accept animals doing as they pleased.<br/><br/><em>""You have been called,"" she looked around, ""For each of your own reasons. Your voyage has only just begun. That's what the spirits tell me.""</em><br/><br/><strong>""Wait... the fuck do you mean?!""</strong>he exclaimed though as he said such they were already heading off once more. It behoves his better sense of judgement to just follow a complete stranger, but then again what other choice did he have? Besides the other two were at this point entranced by her looks and forgot that for the briefest of moments they'd just started down the had just started down a being of pure ice. The only upside to their chance encounter was that Aria knew where she was going. He mused on what she meant by the call. How had they been summoned when by the looks of them nothing special seemed to radiate from the trio quite the opposite really. Each one of them lacked that certain something in this case what he didn't entirely know when it came to the other men, but himself. Oh, he knew all to well.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>When they got to Lymsa's Cove Farren was for the most part vaguely impressed on the outside. Inwardly he found it quite amazing to see first hand. The chatter and laughter made him a bit nervous as being social wasn't that great. The set up of the houses reminded him of a village from one of the oblivion series. The name he'd long since forgotten, but still looked the same none the less. Out of all of the festivities the area which held the games peaked his interest. Games were one of the few things he enjoyed the most. He had a certain luck with carnival games only losing once or twice in his entire childhood.<br/><br/>""Nice try folks, better luck next time! Who's next to try for our great prizes?""<br/><br/>Once Aria had handed him his trinket he vanished before the other two even realized his disappearance. Now swallowed up by the crowd if they needed to find him he'd be easy to find since they all stood out from their modern day clothing. Perusing the stalls he stopped at one that was familiar. The Shell Game. Farren knew the in's and outs of it quite literally since it was a short con used to make quick cash. As the game is almost always played dishonestly, it is typically regarded as a confidence trick and not as a legitimate game.<br/><br/>""I'll take a swing at it."" grinning from ear to ear at the operator of this shell game. Watching as the man explained the rules in there most simplest form while performing it. There are three or more identical containers are placed face down. A small ball is placed beneath one of these containers so that it cannot be seen and they are then shuffled by the operator in plain view, and he was to guess the correct one to win the prize. When finished Farren picked the one on the left merely guessing.<br/><br/>"

Her eyes met with his for just a brief moment, but they conveyed a powerful emotion: as if she was reminding him, you know why.<br/><br/>The journey down to Lymsa's Cove had been uneventful compared to meeting Astal. Aria skipped, cartwheeled and floated her way down the winding peaks, taking this turn and that turn as if there were sign posts on the road or something. Each of the mountain's rocky paths looked exactly the same; some of them weren't even in plain sight, requiring them to duck under plant growths to access.<br/><br/>""You'll find out, my traveling friend,"" Aria replied in her sing-songy voice to Madison's bombardment of questions.<br/>She paused for a moment when he asked about magic, bringing the marching line of creatures to a halt.<br/><br/>""Magic indeed!

The smell of food always riled him up.<br/><br/>""You can probably find a place to rest in the Treasure Tavern,"" she pointed for Ryder.<br/><br/>Aria floated upside down to get a view of Madison from below, looking up at his face while he bowed. ""I can't teach you! You'll need to find a Judgement Drive. I think they have one in Verrune! If you want, you can rest at my house tonight. We can depart tomorrow.""<br/><br/>Aria flipped back onto her legs, looking at the two of them. As if to stop their impending assault of questions, she quickly added: ""You touch it and it imprints the magical arts database in you! The stronger you are, the more magic you'll be able to use.""<br/><br/>""For now, you should enjoy the Festival. It's the last night after all! Your friend has the right idea.""

Lose and you get nothing!"" He let out a gruff laugh.<br/><br/>The man gave a quick demonstration, moving deliberately slowly and with no sleight of hand to show the ball's location. Simple enough, was the message he was trying to give. When the game started, he began to shuffle the shells at an amazing speed. Farren picked the left shell, which he promptly unveiled to reveal the table underneath. No ball in sight.<br/><br/>""Nice try traveler. Now who's next?"" He laughed again, getting ready for the next sucker. His laugh was cut off abruptly as Farren reached for the other shells.<br/><br/>""What are you- stop!"" He panicked, swatting away Farren's curious hands. His face turned ghastly white as Farren leaned in and whispered something in his ear.

Of all the places he would have wanted to spend the night, that place had been towards the bottom of his list. Still,if it was the only place, he didn't really have a choice now did he? Grimacing as he looked back to see that Farren had vanish, Ry let out a sigh. Aria mentioned something about an item that let you use magic, but for the moment he wasn't really concerned about that. It sounded cool at least, but he had never played a mage class in a video game before. He was normally more a swords, axes and mauls kind of guy. He'd still look at it when they got to Verrune, wherever that was, just because there was a bubbling curiosity building in him that also figured why not?<br/><br/><strong>""Might as well explore the city now what with the festival ending soon, I guess,""</strong>Ry announced after stretching and putting his hands behind his back. He shot Madison a look and grinned, before patting the guy on the back. If he was going to be staying with Aria, then more power to him. Ry couldn't figure her place to be that big, but he had a feeling that it was bound to be crowded with all her little friends.<strong>""Take care, Mad. Try not to lose that fragment, 'kay? See you in the morning.""</strong>With that said, Ry was off with a wave over his shoulder as he adapted a casual stroll through the city. The people here really something else. He felt out of place still but he was following his Video Game Logic for the time being. A good adventurer should have some way to defend themselves, so his new priority numero uno was to find himself a weapon. Even if it was some skimpy little knife, it would still give him peace of mind.<br/><br/>But where to find a weapon stall? There was a ton of vendors already hawking their wares, so it shouldn't be that hard. He didn't really want to ask around, since tourists always pissed him off and he didn't really want to piss someone off since he clearly was one in this situation. Hopefully he could affect a silvery tongue with whoever he dealt with, since all he really had on him was some little nuts and bolts that Aria gave him. Not really a meal ticket, but maybe he could persuade the dealer into thinking that they were worth more than it actually was. And the fact that Ry didn't know its worth was what would make the lie all the more convincing he hoped. He finally spotted a stall and sauntered on over, looking as if he knew what he was looking for as he pulled what looked like a normal sword out of a line up.<strong>""What can you tell me about this one?""</strong>he asked as he glanced up at the vendor. His expression has shifted to an indifferent mask, in hopes to conceal the rush he was getting from holding a sword again. He had replica swords back home, but this one was real. This one he could cut someone down with. It didn't seem like much, but a beginning had to start somewhere."

She told him she couldn't teach him magic and his heart sank a touch before he heard the last part which gave him some hopes though for now this meant he was much more helpless than he could have pictured. At this point he was but armed with but his wits and whatever intellect and knowledge he had in his mind. Either way it gave him hopes that he wouldn't be completely helpless in such a world that might demand more than words to solve answers. Where more than just other people are the most dangerous things out here. And indeed she did manage to cut his questions off concerning the Judgement Drive.<br/><br/>Upon the suggestions of her inviting her into her home so they can travel to this place where he most definitely needed to go, he was quite grateful she was willing to guide him there.<strong>""Thank you, Aria. I do accept your hospitality.""</strong>He said with a grateful tone to his voice as he would rise up to full height. At least he would have a warm roof over his head for one night and a purpose to set off on soon enough. Upon the suggestion of enjoying the Festival he agreed on that sentiment. Truth be told he wasn't interested in a simple weapon or simple protections to make use of the trinkets and baubles Aria gave him. Honestly whilst he might want a weapon in his hand, truth was Madison felt breaking off a sturdy looking stick or branch for a staff or such would prove more viable. A firm slap on his shoulders by Ry and some words of advice Madison was left on his own. A sheepish smile came over him.<br/><br/>So with his destination set and his stomach protesting more so now that he was heading for the promises of food he opens the door to the Treasure Cove. He didn't care if someone took offense to him being there as he was far too hungry and dirty to care what people thought of him at that point. Of course his instincts would continue to run on overdrive as best as they could as he had no idea if someone was willing to take it further than a dirty glare. All he wanted to do was head up to an empty table and sit down and wait to be served on. Seems like even the Festival couldn't keep the good spirits out of a place like this however seedy it might be. He made sure to keep the ice shard in his shirt pocket since he had no intention of losing it. Meanwhile his right hand was holding onto the bag wondering just how much he could get with the bag and if it would cover what he wanted to get for himself. Then he also wondered if he would be able to get some more resources for bartering with some work. All things to consider of course and in the meantime he would have a look around and see if someone was coming over to either accost him or take his order.<br/><br/>All the while the sounds of the festival ring out in a rousing drinking song that people were singing in here to keep their own enjoyment up. Either way he could get used to that at least for now. The faint smell of bread and wafting stew was enough to wet his appetite further and he honestly could not wait.<br/><br/><em>""The guards are falling fast asleep,<br/>And the rogues creep upon them without a peep.<br/>Their wine has been drugged and they don't hear,<br/>As the gloved hand with the dagger draws near.<br/>The fox has come to make his mischief and play,<br/>And they will never see another day.<br/><br/>Past their sleeping forms the fox picks the lock,<br/>Snatching all they could they rush past the dock.<br/>The took all they could and they don't know,<br/>A traitor amongst them to reap what they sow.<br/>An arrow was nocked ready to be set free and fly,<br/>And the fox would stumble forward and die.""</em>"

He felt that if he scrapped at the metal blade of the sword he was holding, that it would begin to chip away and flakes of grey paint would cover this man's stall. So when the old merchant reached up to tighten his grip on the hilt of the sword, Ry allowed his eyes to sweep his gaze upwards to lock with the man's own. Ry suppressed a glare since the man obviously seemed caught up in his own lie, and rummaging through his wares for an ornate dagger. It looked like something cheap he would have bought from a dollar store back on Earth when he was running late on a birthday gift for his kid brother's and didn't have the time or money to get anything else.<br/><br/>Of course, the merchants movements revealed something useful at least. Ry wondered at how it remained unnoticed this long, unless he was playing at something and didn't realize that he actually had something that screamed of worth. Playing it cool, Ry set the sword down with a soft sigh before reaching over and grabbing what looked like a rolled up map. It had been freed when the man knocked aside some paper thin helmets and sent them rolling across the stall. Ry rubbed the material between his thumb and index finger before looking back at the merchant with an assessing glance.<strong>""I'll take this.  Let's say... for a piece of metal scrap?""</strong>Ry asked neutrally, keeping his voice light as not to raise suspicion. He lowered his voice then, just enough for the merchant to hear him as an veiled threat left his lips,<strong>""Its about as much as I'd give you for anything else you have to offer old man.""</strong>Craftsmanship his ass. The sword he had been holding felt like it would break the second it came into contact with another. he highly doubted that the man would let him try out the wears before purchasing them either. Not in front of a crowd of potential sellers after all.<br/><br/>Digging through the pouch that Aria gave him, Ry set a few pieces on the table before sliding them across to the old man to prove that he was serious. He fixed the man with a hard look, weaponizing his sharp blue eyes in an attempt to pin the man to a wall. His height played a bit of a role too in all of this, since while Ry probably wasn't the most physically threatening guy, he sure as hell figured that he could take a greedy old merchant if the man tried anything. Of course, it was shit like this that could get you killed, but he hoped that the old bugger saw the error in his ways for trying to peddle the cheap shit in somewhere so crowded."

The fact that he was sweating right into the food of all things just made his stomach flip for a second in protest. And the food looked no better as it looked to be undercooked or overcooked or just plain spoiled and rehashed. His mouth watered in it's own form of protest as if he was still too hungry to care but in truth he did. He wasn't ordering anything and in fact he saw an opportunity to better this place. Sure it was more so the fact that this tavern owner had managed to press a berserk button by trying to serve up some undercooked chicken and as such Madison got up and made a beeline for behind the counter.<br/><br/>He didn't even let the Tavern Owner speak as he felt his emotion run on his sleeve.<strong>""For the love of Astral, what in the hell are you <em>doing</em>?!""</strong>He said pulling the leg up and showing it to him.<strong><em>""This!? This</em> is what you're going to serve?! Imbecile! You're going to kill someone serving that!""</strong>Madison looked like he had control over himself but the amount of force in his voice and the shift he took from a skittish under confident person to someone completely assertive was an astounding transformation.<strong>""You clearly <em>need</em> help so, go and wash the dishes and utensils, clean yourself up and let someone who knows what they're doing take the kitchen.""</strong>Madison was staring a hole into him as if daring to so much as protest was the next part in showing his assertive energy.<br/><br/>First thing Madison does is check the food and what he had to work with. Hopefully some good resources to be had here and hopefully he could turn coal into diamonds essentially. It was a disaster at the very moment at least as the larder reeked of meats (particularly dead seafood such as dead crabs and open clams and some chicken) on the verge of spoiling. He even found a few knives that seen better days. That immediately went out into the disposal and he outright chewed out the Tavern Owner again for that shit.<strong>""Imbecile! Get rid of that and find me something fresh!""</strong>The Tavern Owner at the very least was good following orders. The signs of poor management to be sure as resources going to waste and vegetables not prepped and sanitized were deplorable. Thankfully the stores of flour and such were untouched so he had breads to work with. Cheese wheels and such were also good because of the simplistic fact that cheese has a longer lifespan and shelf life. Precooked sausages were also available so he did have some decent meat (thank the heavens for that). Further more stuff like corn meal, yeast, pasta and such were available and olive oil thankfully. Basically stuff that didn't spoil easily.<br/><br/>Turning back to his equipment he saw a brick oven, a long fire pit that had cauldrons of food that was soon to be discarded. Which he set to doing himself with old fashioned oven gloves to grip it, dump it and quickly give it a wash before giving it over to the Tavern Owner. A wooden counter, a number of dusted pots and pans and a pile of dishes of course. The Tavern Owner was already working on that so Madison would glance over and takes out his travelers book. Talking to himself more so as if to focus his thoughts<strong>""I'm going to work on something fresh and get the menu ready.""</strong>Heading over to what was clearly a chalk board he dusted it off and started writing up the appetizers, entrees, desserts and soups. He glanced towards his travelers book and opened it with a slight smile. The contents were his personal recipes from the more modern eras and he doubted very much that other had thought of these. At least in the Treasure Tavern at least so writing it up.<br/><br/>As he does his hands extend a touch and he breathes in slowly and then out as if cleansing the anger he had just channeled and absorbing the tranquility of this kitchen and it was there to be found amidst all the clamoring. More or less he found a focus to pull his attentions on and it allowed him to effectively channel that assertive energy into a positive spirit. Maybe it was his newfound magical potential clamoring out but he didn't find this difficult to contend with. Second he came back into reality he found his voice and shouted over the customers clamoring for orders or complaining.<strong>""Okay folks, I know your hungry but sit down and enjoy a round of ale here! Compliments of the Treasure Tavern! We're getting a fresh start here and I am not going to take any lip from anyone in this place.""</strong>That would help placate the people here and buy him some time. He made sure to wash his hands throughly with a quick amount of warmed sea water and wipe them dry with a bit of cloth. Then he takes a second cloth and pulls it over his head tying it together at the back like a bandana which was to prevent him from sweating or getting hair in his food. Time to get to work!<br/><br/>With his focus set and his hands washed he sets to work at once. What he wanted to make first thing he does is get some of that flour and several wooden bowls. He was going to be making several different types of bread. So he gets a cauldron of water so it can get heated up and takes several cups of it for his needs when it starts to let off steam. First things first was to make some some pizza dough. Which he made with several cups of flour, yeast, a small bit of salt and finally olive oil in tablespoons. His hands got into it real good and started kneading and massaging everything together with a faint smile upon his face. Tossing it from hand to hand he would turn it over end over end, slamming it back down into the wooden bowl properly kneaded and covers it up. In truth he was not going to be making pizza but calzones. He figured that would be much more satisfying.<strong>""Ready up some water and give those vegetables a rinse. I'm going to need them up here soon enough!""</strong><br/><br/>Setting to work on the second dough he was prepping the appetizers of which was his absolute favorite and a specialty of his. Seasoned soft pretzels to be exact, combining salt, flour, yeast, sugar and water and beginning to knead it all like he did the last time. He would not need much time to let this rise so he gets a rolling cutter up and ready and he was all too happy for what he would need next. Madison both took his time but also worked in a efficient manner prepping multiple items at once and working them over back and forth to make the best amount of effort for his time. That was one of the secrets to success, making the most out of the time one has. Once that was starting to rise he would take it out and began prepping the strainer ladle and began cutting the pretzel dough into long strips and making that appealing shape. Placing each one in the ladle he starts giving them a ten second bath in the simmering caldron of water before bringing them over to the tray. Making use of some softened butter he brushes them with it to act as an adhesive and then sprinkles salt and pepper. The first batch would go into the brick oven ready to take it out with the wooden spatula.<br/><br/>Next was to prep his pasta dough which was in truth his favorite kind as well. Ravioli, and he knew exactly what kind he would make, sausage ravioli with a tomato sauce. First thing he does is the sauce and for this he first washes his hands again, dries them and takes a full onion and a rib of celery and dioceses it finely hen into the cauldron it goes with a tiny bit of salt and olive oil. Lifting the chain up a bit he would allow it to slowly sweat so that it turns golden. As this happens over the course of fifteen minutes he preps his tomatoes. Cutting them up into a freshly washed wooden bowl, which were diced and then crushed by freshly washed hands in order to puree the tomato proper. Next same some salt, sugar and some black pepper to give it the kick he wanted and mixes all of this with the onions and celery. Next came the crushed garlic bulbs and mixes it slowly letting the tomato sauce simmer.<br/><br/>Now to make them ravioli and calzones. First thing he does is with his washed vegetables he would chop up upon the cutting board cauliflower, bell peppers, and crushes some of the pre cooked sausage and mixes it together with some diced cheeses, using multiple ones to make a nice mixture for the calzones. Now for the pizza dough which he rolls out and flattens with the wooden rolling pin. Then cutting them into different sections and shaping them into circles. One side is topped with the mixed together food and then the others side of the dough is pulled over top with the edges pinched tight so that it would be a nice little pocket. Taking a knife he would cut air vents into the top so that they wouldn't burst and it would make sure there weren't any pockets of hot air inside for customers. Nobody likes that and he cannot blame them. He's been burned enough times to know what that was like. The ravioli dough would be rolled out nice and thin and then cut into rectangles using so as to make two of equal length and width. This was so to get that traditional top and bottom to pinch it down when it came time to put the sausage stuffing in.<br/><br/>So when it came time he swapped the soft pretzels out and placed them into a wicker basket for a nice presentation and then would place the calzones on the tray and into the oven it goes. The boiling water would have the ravioli cooking within it after sitting out for twenty minutes to dry out before their bath. He was timing this all together so that the entrees and appetizers could come out in sequence, so that the hungry folks would have their food and sustenance.<strong>""Appetizers up! You get them out to the tables and get those drinks ready, yer going to have another batch of orders coming in soon!""</strong>Madison said to the Tavern Owner whilst he continued his work without missing a step. Those whom wanted calzones would have them, ravioli would be coming out in a few moments on fresh plates and utensils. All of it would be fantastic and Madison had the confidence to show for it. And the best thing is he's just getting started."

He was running twice as hard as before, fetching this, washing that, bringing this for the idiot. The man didn't know if he knew what he was doing, or what the fuck he was cooking, but it spoke volumes to just how desperate he was. Before long, he could smell the scent of food, actual food, wafting from his kitchen. For once in his career of owning the tavern, there might be real food coming out of there. The line of angry drunkards had subsided as the tavern was forced to bring out free ale, much to the disdain of the owner. Though free ale was better than dealing with a boatload of angry men. After a frantic half an hour, things seemed to be settling down. People were actually enjoying their food? It was practically a miracle. Perhaps that whore of a waitress running out on him was for the better after all.<br/><br/>As the rush settled down, another young man wandered into the Tavern demanding a free stay. Normally the owner would have chased him out with all the cusswords in Lymsa, but he had been exhausted for tonight. His mood was improving a little, as his problems cleared up, so he did the impossible- let it slide. He nodded to his wife, who spoke with Farren.<br/><br/>""Um, yes, of course,"" she stammered, knowing of no such agreement. The man had probably be tricked, as was common in this cesspool of a town. Surprisingly, her husband had given her the okay. ""There should be a room free upstairs,"" she managed to finish, still in a state of bewilderment as she handed Farren a key. The rooms upstairs were barren, with just a bed, a small table, and a basin with some water drawn up. The tiny rooms smelled of sex and mold, with the blankets in a state that left one better off not knowing. Truly the treasure of Lymsa's Cove."

He'd unroll it later, but the soft blue glow it gave off when he saw it had to mean something, right? He still had some trinkets left and wondered if it would be enough to get a room somewhere, unless there was another place for him to rest his head. Of course, before all that, his rumbling stomach told him to seek out food first. The smell of something fucking delicious drew him back to the Treasure Tavern, and he ignored any eyes that landed on him when he had pushed the door open. Despite the pleasant smell of food being cooked, Ry almost gagged when the rest of the establishments musk smacked him in the face. It was a mixture of stale beer, unwashed bodies and an orgy that got out of hand or was never bothered to be cleaned up after. He wanted to find the nearest gallon of bleach and drown the whole place in it, but then he remembered where he was and figured that they probably didn't even know what that was.<strong>""Suck it up, Knight. Its either here or the street,""</strong>he muttered under his breath, preferring to take this shit over the potential of being stabbed and robbed blind in the middle of his sleep. Just burn the clothes in the morning, Ry thought to himself. Maybe he'd make that his new mantra.<br/><br/>Thankfully for Ry, it seemed as he entered that food was being brought out and it actually looked edible. He found a table that wasn't too crowded and signaled for someone to take his order. Ale and whatever the chef recommended. Ry felt a little out of place still as he sat at the table, what with all the men and their armaments sitting around him, but he tried his best to own what little space he had by puffing out his chest and slapping a frightful expression on his face. His lips curled down into a scowl and his eyes narrowed into a glare that seemed commonplace with the rest. When in Rome, after all. While he waited for his food, Ry unrolled the scroll that he had purchased for the first time and felt a little ripped off when it appeared to be blank. What the hell. He flipped it over thinking it might be the wrong way around, only to sigh when both sides seemed equally blank. Running a hand through his hair, Ry folded it flat and stuck it into his book that was also blank. Maybe he'd have Aria look at it in the morning, since he still had a nagging feeling that there was something curious about the damned thing. It was the Video Game Logic he was following that made him think that way of course, since if it is shiny or it glows then it must be important goddammit.<br/><br/><strong>""Can I get a hunk of bread over here?""</strong>Ry called out sourly as he slouched back in his chair and grunted. He'd keep up the barbarian act as long as possible, clenching and unclenching his fists as he scowled around the room. He considered spitting for dramatic flair, but decided not to play it up that much. He wanted to sleep here if possible, and pissing off the owner  wasn't going to buy him any favors. Maybe he'd try to work for his room too if possible, since he kind of wanted to ration what little trinkets of Aria's that he had left. He still had a weapon to buy too, unless he could somehow overpower someone in the morning and steal something off of them. The room was filled with drunks after all, and they would make easy victims the more inebriated they got. Assuming, of course, that none of them minded offering Ry a little five fingered discount."

Sure it wasn't what they were used to when it comes but it was horribly delicious and these guys weren't picky eaters. But they certain would want to come here if they wanted good food now. Or at the very least they would hunt for this wandering cook of exotic meals.<strong>""I have one order of calzone, two orders of ravioli and four baskets of pretzels. All with fresh ale!""</strong>He said to the tavern owner. The man might be upset that he was being upstaged by someone half his age but Madison was proving his talents. He had another order compliments of someone else.<strong>""One chefs choice eh? Well alright. Order up! One calzone and one basket of pretzels along with an ale.""</strong>His focus was sharp and as he worked on the entrees he was working on another batch of these three items in question. Eventually however he would need to work on the desserts.<br/><br/>He sets to work on that after some time washing his hands clean so he can handle the dough after a fresh batch of pretzel and pasta were being cooked up along with calzone. He saw that there was some preserved jam which would prove useful as a filing for the cookie sandwiches he intended to make. The dough was simplistic to make as he uses a combination of softened butter, flour, the yolk of two chicken eggs and white sugar and began to mix it all together for his cookie compound. He had to make the flour be poured in little by little whilst he was whipping the eggs, butter and sugar together by a wooden spatula. Gradually there would be a soft cookie dough as the base and then starts rolling out the dough and begins cutting out cookies by means of a cleaned whiskey glass  to get a perfect circle every time. Making the indent with his thumb he then scooped a spoonful of the preserved jam and sets them upon another tray and slides it into the brick oven. He repeats this several time until he had several dozen for the sake of the dessert. It wasn't much but the taste of these cookies should prove more than enough to knock everything out fairly well.<br/><br/>Thanks to Madison's efforts he felt he was softening the moods of the patrons up and getting them much more festive to enjoy the food and drink. Hell he could actually hear them break out into another drinking song. Honestly he could get behind it because it filled him in a sense with tremendous pride when he hears them that happy with his work. It was clear that these guys should be paying the tavern owner and consequentially himself well for the efforts. All the whilst under the counter his foot taps along with the singing. At the very least he could enjoy himself as he worked pulling out fine food and serving it for the hungry folks. Whilst he didn't see Farren as he was working at the time, he did notice the one whom had a wild card for his entree from the chef as he saw it was Ry.

To this moment, he still had no idea what possessed Madison to take over the kitchen, but he didn't care. Nothing made sense to him anymore. Still in a drunken stupor, he told Madison he could finish up and take some food from the kitchen with him if he so desired. His wife had since retired to her own room, and the owner passed out on the chair behind the counter without even making it home.

Seems like someone had severely slighted the owner before they got here. Either way the fat sloth was clearly drunk now after all that had happened. No wonder this place was going under like it was. Madison would take some parchment and a pen and began writing down a few things. Seeings as how the night was winding down he had the extra time. However the owner would explain that he was free to take whatever leftovers he wanted for the trouble. In truth Madison was figuring a small cut of tonight's earnings but he figured the tavern owner didn't need to know that and probably wouldn't remember it being drunk.<br/><br/>After the drunk passed out along with a few others the chef took a look around. Surveying what he had left over in the back of the kitchen he took whatever remained of the pretzels and some fresh calzones and places them into a sack tying it up tight. Basically any food that would keep for longer than a day or two. Calzones for tomorrow, and the pretzels and maybe some wedges of the cheese wheel for later. Heading to where the cash had been tended to he took one quarter of the valuable and baubles for this one night. That leaves the tavern owner with the majority of the goods and leftovers in the form of the ravioli, tomato stock and jam cookies. The only evidence of it being no dream was the ravioli, jam cookies, and finally a small parchment that was detailing what was needed to whip this place back into shape in the form of an outline.<br/><br/><em>Ascetics: Clean this place up, get brighter lanterns so it doesn't look like a dive, public fireplace for warmth.<br/>Cuisine: Clean those pots and pans regularly, use resources wisely, cook any meat that you cannot preserve and use any bones unused the day after for soup stock.

Aka this tavern owner was going to have some homework. Either way Madison was done at the tavern and whilst he figured Ry was okay he checked on him anyway. With a sheepish smile upon his face and with a fresh plate of food and desserts for the trouble of it.<strong>""You alright? I was worried you might get your throat cut.""</strong>He said with a small sack of goods in hand and another small bit of money for himself and their party if they needed it."

Blue eyes locked with the drunkards gaze as his lips split to bare his teeth and fists clenched in perpetration of a fight if need be, but the owner's grip slacked and released Ry. Falling back into the chair with a thud, he hadn't even realized that there was a knife pressed against his throat. Wary looks were thrown his way as other patrons began to shift away from him, and Ry spat back when the owner had left, no longer carrying to abide by his fucking unspoken rules. This got a laugh out of the others. The songs picked up again as if nothing happened and Ry even took the time to join in, sloshing his beer on fellow patrons that had joined him.<br/><br/>As the night wore on and people began to flow out. Sometime between all the chaos and now, Ry had noticed that a metal key ring had fallen to the ground and he had discreetly secured it for himself. He'd use it to check the rooms later for one that was both free and seemed tolerable, but for now he was more interested in his drink and the food that the cook had prepared. So imagine his surprise when Madison had came out of the kitchen with a play of food and other assorted goodies. Ry shrugged his shoulders despite Madison's attempt at concern, flashing the other man with a winning smile. He was obviously more than a little tipsy.<strong>""'s cool. At least I have a story to tell in the next town over. Wonder if you could buy things with that. Stories, that is,""</strong>Ry laughed as he leaned back.<br/><br/>Ry felt awfully warm now, or at least the hand that had been on his book that he stored the scroll in.<strong>""Thanks for the food, Mads. Appreciate it,""</strong>he said absently after gesturing for the man to sit if he wanted, while he was busy thumbing through the book to the scroll. It was indeed the source of the heat he was feeling, so unfolding the map he began to wonder if he was tired or drunk considering that the now blank map had words on it. The scroll had began a map telling him about the Cove and the locations connected to it either by road or the ocean. Pridewing Landing was closed because of the tempest brewing over the ocean, but the roads leading away from the Cove didn't seem blocked. Soulspire Temple and Bandit ship 'Lance of Tatun' both sounded supper fishy, ominous too, but maybe that was just the theme this world had in naming things. Still they were places to ask about later when he was less drunk, or if he even remembered them by the morning. He'd need to find a pen or something to write with so he could jot down a plan of attack in his book, but that could wait.<br/><br/>Of course, before he could commit everything to drunken memory, the map began to fade. The last thing he managed to see was something about a hidden cove in the Cove, and he laughed at that. Cove within a Cove. Coveception. Rubbing his eyes when the map had finally became blank again, Ry sighed and folded it back up again.<strong>""Well, I think I'm tired, so I'm gonna go find a room. Have fun with Aria,""</strong>he chuckled as he pushed out of his seat uneasily, taking up his belongings, the key ring and some of the food that Madison brought.<strong>""See ya in the morning,""</strong>he added with raising the plate in salute before disappearing up the stairs to check each room for the best of the best."

Countless stalls lined the streets, empty, their cloth overhangs flapping loudly with the morning breeze. The streets were lined with garbage, leftover containers, papers, food... everywhere you looked there was trash. A rank smell filled the air, a mixture of rotting garbage, fish, and the salty breeze of the ocean. The army of merchants, gamesmen and tourists had all disappeared, seemingly spirited away at the end of the night just the Tempest had dissipated. In a few days, Lymsa's Cove would return to its regular, quiet atmosphere. Already the sounds of early fishing boats chimed at the docks, pulling in with their fresh haul.<br/><br/><strong>Treasure Tavern</strong><br/>Those late night Treasure seekers, those brave souls who entered the tavern had still not awoken. Men laid all throughout the place, still slumped over on tables, chairs, spread out on the floor. Those who were not so lucky to secure a room would find themselves waking on hard wood, their bodies aching like nothing they had ever felt before. The owner of the place had managed to fall out of his chair in the middle of the night, still fast asleep. The entire place smelled of stale beer and vomit, coupled with its usual aroma of sex and mold. A few patrons began to stir, some passed out in their own vomit, but immediately fell asleep again.<br/><br/><strong>Aria's House</strong><br/>Aria's house was abuzz with activity in the early morning, a stark contrast to the zombie-like state of Lymsa's Cove. Her forest friends ran all over the house, jumping, shaking, causing all sorts of ruckus. Remarkably unperturbed, Aria joined them in their frenzy, floating and cartwheeling about the house. Madison, who had been given a little makeshift bed on her sofa, was rudely awakened by a bird coming to rest on his face. He was met with a view of Aria's face, upside down, as she floated above him. He still clutched onto his 'earnings' from last night, which he had swiped from the owner.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 8pt;""><em>Item:</em> [Stolen Earnings] – Graciously given unto you by the sleeping tavern owner, an assortment of goods and metals that could be worth a few meals.</span><br/><br/>""Rise and shine!""<br/><br/>It was deathly early.<br/><br/>""It's time to go!

In his head, Ry told himself that he was woken up by rays of light striking his face in a nice room, but the stench and his rolling stomach was what forced him up. With his stomach empty and throat feeling like fire, Ry had stumbled out of the building as silently as possible with a makeshift bag he had made by striping one of the pillows of its cases. Beggars couldn't be choosers, and he only planned on having it until he could find himself an actual bag.<br/><br/>When he had reached the main floor, Ry noticed a man passed out on the floor. A small pouch of metal currency and rocks hangs from his hip, connected to his pants by a thin string. Naturally Ry liberated the pouch from the man and hefted it in his hand with a smirk, and could almost laugh since the man was so out of it that Ry probably could have taken his clothes too. Ry took the time to wash his mouth out with some ale before leaving, since the owner - who was used to this shit most likely, making him nose blind to the retched establishment - was completely passed out. All he wanted to do now was put as much distance between himself and that inn as possible, and the sooner they left the better. He tossed the key ring he had found on the ground into the nearest water trough he could, hoping that it wouldn't kill any beast that tried drinking it from whatever diseases that it possessed.<br/><br/>Even though he had only been in the town for less than a day, Ry couldn't help but shudder at how alien it felt compared to the day before. The shitty merchant he had dealt with the day  before was gone, and the skeleton crew that worked the docks was a fraction of the people he had bumped elbows with yesterday. It kept him on guard with his senses ramped all the way up, since the empty streets made him feel like a giant target was painted on his back. Thankfully he had made it to the gates with little trouble - save a cat that knocked over a trash bin that almost made him jump out of his skin - and was relieved to see that part of the 'party' was already assembled there. Thankfully for Ry, after having risen early and had some time to get his blood flowing, he was more or less awake by the time he reached them. A stifled yawn left him however, but that was normal for him after a nights rest.<br/><br/><strong>""Mornin,""</strong>Ry announced as he reached them. He wasn't even ready to considered today good by any measure, since a good morning would imply that he was enjoying it, but at least he had made away with from extra cash from the man he stole from at the tavern. He spat in an attempt of getting rid of the foul taste that lingered in his mouth, but it did little to help. So naturally Ry sighed. He couldn't even say that he was happy to say he saw Aria again, but he patted one of her friends on the head as he joined them. He thought of checking his map again today, since last night couldn't have been a dream, but he was having doubts now since a peek this morning had yielded nothing as well. Adjusting the bag on his shoulder, Ry grimaced at the pillow case and wondered if he should have dunked it in the trough as well.<strong>""So we ready to go?""</strong>he asked somewhat conversationally."

If only there was some melted cheese to go with the pretzel, but Ry would make do with the doughy treat nonetheless.<strong>""Go ahead and set a fire if you want, but wait til we're in the next town over.

Surely he was getting hungry by now.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, Ry had to agree with the collective idea of getting the hell out of here. He didn't want to linger around any longer in case someone from the tavern noticed they had been pilfered, and who better to be the thieves then the guys that had clearly made their presence known the night before. Aria took to the idea with her seemingly normal attitude - which was more bubbly than should be possible for someone so early in the day - and almost bulled on ahead without them before turning around and asking where exactly they were headed. If this had been a slapstick show, Ry mused, then it would be the point in time that the group collapsed in the ground in a rather comical fashion. But as Ry had told Farren moments earlier, this shit was the real life. Not some fucking fantasy despite all the high fantasy elements he would normally only read about.<br/><br/><strong>""Verrune.

He could honestly find himself looking upon Ry as a close friend in such a strange land since he seems encouraging to the cook. At the very least he was a touch more hospitable towards him now that he was away from the chill of the mountains and so forth. Farren was a touch unsettling when he voices his opinions in such a unpleasant fashion. It reminded him of blonde haired boy king and it tends to set Madison on edge because of it. Hopefully he would have a reality check with what Ry was saying but regardless he kept those thoughts to himself and his face blank as best as he could. Mostly because the three of them were in need of each other like it or not.<br/><br/>Assessing the strengths of his allies and himself, he came to a few conclusions based on what impressions were left of them. Madison is probably the only one capable of producing stable income should things go slow and cooking proper food if they need it. These two however looked more physically capable in other areas and Madison severely lacks such a strength. There was no real way to defend himself in this regard save for wits and a silver tongue. Madison knew that much and would have to best rectify that situation with the Judgement Drive. After all according to Aria this was the only way to realize magical potential.

The trek had started in the wee hours of the morning and now the sun was setting. How long had they even traveled in such a vast amount of time was beyond Farren comprehension as the need for a breather.<br/><br/>In heavy breathes he came to a standstill as the sound of a roar echoed from close by. Whatever it was didn't seem remotely friendly.<em>'A rhino?! What kind of crazy shit was this?'</em>thinking on his feet to avoid the charge as the pillar came crashing down separating them from Aria. ""So much for no monsters huh?"" Speaking to both Madison and Ry while keeping his attention on the beast.<br/><br/>The weapon Aria conjured up for him felt as if an extension of himself. He had to admit this was rather cool dispite the circumstances which was happening. As the Ash Rhino went to charge Madison he took aim with the crossbow and shot a fire bolt right into its eye to cause it to veer off course."

She explained what the Manastream was and honestly he could equate it to something similar to the bullet trains of his own world. He suspected however this Manastream was much faster if a touch unusual in the fact you can wind up in the wrong place. Either way it beats walking and during the trek he kept silent as he was munching on a single pretzel of his own. Yes it was a day old treat by my god it was still so soft and deliciously salty. The black pepper mixes well and it took him a full minute or two with each bite trying to savor it and because it was so chewy he had to work it over with his teeth. The buttery taste was delicate on his tongue and every morsel left him wanting more. He would need to savor these and save them for when they were truly needed. Still with a bit of sustenance in him for breakfast he was ready for whatever came his way next… or at least he hoped he was.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Walking on for so long was a new one on Madison as his legs burned with the need to rest and he could see why these blasted Manastreams were so sought for. They made traveling much less of a hassle and furthermore it wouldn't take as long. Madison just looked spent like he hadn't done stuff like this before on this scale.<strong>""Not to be an old hat but… are we there yet!?""</strong>He said for the first time with a sense of irony to his voice. Of course the answer to that was a resounding no which got an aggravated groan from him. However it appears something else took offense to Madison's newfound sense of complaining as a loud roar came from somewhere. This made his hairs stand on end and him suddenly forget complaining. Then some kind of freakish looking rhino came out of the shadows and straight at him!<br/><br/>He would have happily turned back the way he could but the rhino's initial appearance made short work of running in that direction as Aria and the three men were cut off from each other. The fact that apparently there were dangerous monsters and so forth was something that he saw coming but<em>really</em>hoped he didn't have to! Weapons made of purple energy were oven to the three of them compliments of Aria though he still would have preferred actual magic over something like this! He didn't have to be a genius to know standing there and trying to take down a<em>Charging Rhino</em>was something he could not do and as such he started running away trying to juke and jive that Rhino and avoid getting gored, trampled and any other spectrum of pain and agony his mind could come up with!"

Or how the music can free her whenever it starts?""</strong>Ry asked with a wicked grin after the other had rattled off the type of magic that Earth had. He knew a few tricks from when he was young, but it was only card tricks that Ry retained. The sleight of hand that can useful in most situations, or false cuts when shuffling a deck of cards. But still this Manastream that Aria had talked about sounded like something Ry wanted to see as well. And while he dislikes fast travel in games with a passion, he didn't know if his body could handle a trek across the world in its current condition. Maybe if he had a horse or some kind of winged creature to fly, then he wouldn't mind a cross continent trip. Or a dragon. Though he didn't even want to think about air travel now that he remembered about that behemoth they saw - he saw? - when he first arrived.<br/><br/>Catching up to Aria as she strode on ahead, Ry chuckled and shook his head before whispering in her direction,<strong>""I guess it's like trying to tell a stranger bout rock and roll.""</strong>He rolled his eyes at this, a smug expression on his face at his own joke, knowing that Aria probably wouldn't get the reference to either the song he was spinning to his needs or even rock and roll. He ignored the comment of Farren's about how none of them knew how to fight beasts or creatures and mentally shrugged. There was always a time to learn, especially if this was their new world. He played countless games in the past and had little brothers that always like pretending to sword fight with sticks or toy light-sabers. Practice makes perfect, and with death lingering as a consequence it would only serve to motivate them to get better. Or stay held up behind city walls until the days they died.

The altitude made it a little hard to catch his breath the first few hours, but he was beginning to acclimate to the conditions. His legs burned, but in a good way - the kind that a trek like this gives - and it reminded him of his time in the boy scouts. He remembered having a pretty decked out sash too, but most of his badges - the ones he were proudest of - were ones that circled around the outdoors. Basic survival skills, trapping, hunting, and the like. The old him was being broken down and reshaped by this world, leaving Ry to feel more alive by the seconds as the past. He couldn't say the same for the rest of his group, since they looked weary upon closer inspection. Farren was taking heavy breaths and Madison had began to complain. He tuned most of it out however, until a beastly roar announced the presence of company. The gleam in its eye didn't look friendly at all.<br/><br/><strong>""She didn't say that there weren't any. Just that she never saw one,""</strong>Ry remarked softly as to not arouse any more attention from the rhino. Aria of course made a scene by casting some of her magic, conjuring crystal weapons out of what seemed like nothing. He wondered for a second if that had depleted her reserves, but his attention really ought to be held elsewhere now that the Ash Rhino began hoofing at the ground. From what Ry remembered from days of hibernating on the couch watching Animal Planet, the beast was most likely about to start charging. And its attention seemed focused on Madison. Just lovely. Grabbing the crystal broadsword, Ry spun it in a flourish until he held it with both hands, ""grab the other sword Mads!"" Ry hollered while he seemed to be just trying to avoid getting trampled. Farren grabbed the crossbow and shot a blot at  the thing and Ry didn't even bother waiting to see if it struck home. He intercepted its path as it chased Madison, attempted a juke to get along side of it after Farren had shot, and slashed at the Rhinos flanks with a primal howl of his own."

His mind was trying to catch up with that as his hands shook trying to process that not only was he alive after that experience but he had dealt the killing blow. It was a emotion that he could not process so easily and it felt exhausting for him. He had never had the need for such action, and seeing it in another form of media and doing it in reality was something completely different.

Madison was too stressed at the time to have noticed it save for the horn was broken off during the fight. Truth be told Madison was more interested in using astral's fragment for the unlocking of the magical potential. His eyes looked over to Aria and smiled at her as he had to give her some credit for that as she essentially made it possible for them to save themselves.<strong>""Thank you for the weapons and healing Aria.""</strong>He thinks that is twice now she had managed to save their necks. One for leading them to Lymsa's Cove and now this. All the same they had more walking to do and as such he would walk on.

I would think only Rome's Churches could compare to such a sight.""</strong>He said without thinking that only the three men would be able to understand the comparison.

Madison couldn't tell what it was by the angle and how it was resting upon her shoulders but it looks like she was deceptively strong like the tales of Pippi Longstocking. Either way it was amazing and since Farren was already talking there was no need to chime in.  Past the gate, from what he could see, the temple city itself looked pleasant enough to stay in but he's guessing that there was few places available for travelers to stay at and probably had higher standards from it's citizens.<br/><br/>Every time that Manastream pulsed it resonated within him and made him feel a bit of a vertigo like he didn't exactly stand on his own two feet anymore. It was unusual and it was a touch exciting since he was eager to find out what travel by Manastream was like. He had of course no idea what Verrune was like but he already had his fanciful ideas of course. Hence he turned to Aria and spoke quietly.<strong>""What exactly is Verrune like?""</strong>Madison asked figuring if he got her to talk a bit more she might reveal more about their destination and possibly her. Maybe what to expect in arms of any hospitality as well. In truth he was eager to see exactly what this Judgement Drive was and as such he was more than eager to see what it was about. Certainly would do well to take his mind off that fight for his life and the immense waiting they were doing. Being so close now was making Madison impatient as he rocks on the heels of his feet."

He considered for a second to consult his map, but not with the others around since he wanted to keep that to himself for the time being. He liked Mads well enough, but he didn't really trust either one yet. They had just met. Sure Mads had cooked for him, but there was something about Farren that kept him out of arms reach of the man. And the sugary words that started to spill from him as soon he tried to butter up the woman standing before them made his stomach turn.<strong>""You don't need directions to the Manastream.

He didn't mind Mad's blatant curiosity, but he could do without the sly wordplay that Farren was trying to affect. He would rather experience Verrune for himself when they got there instead of just hearing about it, since if what they were told about the stream was true then they were merely moments around from the city. Time was better spent asking for directions of somewhere to rest, not trying to manipulate a priestess for god sake. Giving the priestess a once over while Madison saw fit to ask anyways, Ry figured she'd be busy answering him anyways so he gave a look back at Aria and offered a weak smile,<strong>""I guess this is where we part ways, huh? I'll look you up if I'm ever in the Cove again.""</strong>Which, Ry felt, would be happening soon or later. The map had told him there was still places to check out in the Cove the night he had looked at it, and if games ever taught him anything, it was to explore everything in case he had missed something."

However he was quickly brought back to reality by what Aria was saying. She was leaving them apparently and whilst it disheartened him to know she was, at least he knew where to look for her at least. Aria was at least nice enough if a bit within her own world. Figuratively and literally as well. He gave a wave and a smile and then said<strong>""I'll come by and visit soon as I can.""</strong>He said kindly figuring to at least stop by and cook for her once or twice as thanks. And maybe not get bit and shot down again when he tries to make another bold move on her like that.<br/><br/>After Aria's farewells to the trio he thought on what little was exchanged. From what it sounded like, Verrune was like that Treasure Tavern only much bigger and more devious. Fantastic, he had enough of that place as it was when he felt he was stiffed by the tavern owner and even before that horribly offended when Ry was threatened at knifepoint by the drunken asshole of a Tavern Owner. From what was said during the rant in the beginning Madison wagered that owner wasn't the nicest of people by a wide margin. As such with all that he didn't feel so bad when he took those earrings. To him that was proper payment and furthermore a bit more punishment for the man whom had done a lot in a short time span to make him think the worst about him.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Unfortunately that was about to come back to haunt him when the Temple Guardian would tell them with a rather stern tone that they were unworthy and that theft was not permitted within the soul spire. It didn't matter how she freaking knew about it, maybe she could detect someone's sins and so forth or there was some kind of system in place to make it carry all the way to her ears. Either way Madison took the full force of that attack and got thrown backwards as a result and tumbled into a seated position bleeding from several cuts after those golden winds sliced through them. Really!? This was what he gets for stealing some low end earrings?! Madison was a bit pissed that being threatened like Ry was carried no weight but the earrings did. And attacking them like that unprovoked was considerably foul in his eyes.<br/><br/>Pulling himself back to his feet he had to think for a moment and mentally berates himself for trying to justify a bad choice like a kid. Didn't matter he supposed if he felt justified or not, this temple guard saw things in black and white and not the shades of grey that Madison viewed things.<strong>""Right, because getting a knife put at your throat unprovoked and then paid with leftovers, is so much more justified.""</strong>He muttered to himself since Madison still held a grudge over that tavern owner, right or wrong be damned. Just within earshot of his companions. He knew how this worked at least and figured and decided rather than try and just fight their way past her and force this into an escalated situation, he would handle this logically.<br/><br/>She found them unworthy because she could check for the sins of another or such, or his items on him were marked in such a way that she could detect them as stolen. She was a priestess even if she was a guard and by that logic, could probably be reasoned with a little penance. He didn't know if it would work out or if it was a feasible action but it was better than trying the alternative. And frankly Madison didn't like the idea of killing someone just for doing their job. Hell his natural inclination was not to kill anybody. Pulling himself up and dusting himself off, he approached cautiously.<strong>""Don't go doing that again, please. I just want to get to Verrune. So what's it going to take for that door to be opened so that we can get in and use the Manastream? Or just point us in the direction of Verrune so we can just leave.""</strong>Hopefully he didn't take another attack from trying to approach her again just so he could talk.<br/>"

They'd just gotten out of a brutal fight with a Rhino and now swished back into the heat of combat was not something he was interested in, and he assumed neither of them would be up for fighting a girl.

Wait! We'll leave ok...

For now he'd have to play goodie two shoes; an act which he was quickly becoming tired of it as the day transpired. If it meant that he had to keep up with this facade with these two then he'd rather go on his own once Madison and Ry got to Verrune. The Manastream must have other locations besides just one.

From that position, she bent her knees and shifted her weight, prepared to launch herself forwards and unleash another sweeping gust of holy winds. Her plan was interrupted as the party before her hastily backed off, rethinking their attempt to enter the Temple. Her job was only to prevent those unworthy from entering the temple- they could stay outside of it for as long as they desired, as far as she was concerned. The dusty winds swept all around them, stinging their freshly created wounds with small, annoying particles of sand and rock. The trio's reprieve would have to wait. The sanctuary of Soulspire would not so easily let them in yet; there was more work to be done.<br/><br/>""All three of you are deemed unfit to enter,"" Althea explained, replying to Madison's comment. She had stepped back a little now, and her cross had been set aside.

The dirt was loose and slippery, and the angle of the slope made it near impossible to climb. Powerful gusts of wind blew downwards towards them, battering them and pushing them away from climbing up. Like walking through a pool underwater, the resistance was tremendous. A wall of vines lined the side of the mountain, acting as a handrail of sorts- the occasional sharp thorn jutted out along the vines, ready to prick anybody who was not paying attention. The distant sounds of running water could be heard just along the crest of the hill, the presumed enchanted well waiting for the duo.<br/><br/>"

His feet felt sore from the trek upon the trail despite the shoes he wore. His gaze was affixed upon the destination however he had to shield his eyes from the dust that travels on harsh winds. He was literally placing one foot in front of the other slowly as they go with one hand out to feel over the side of the mountain. He was tentative with his hand upon the vines he felt more than once a few nasty pricks of his hands and blood had dried upon them now with each motion. One the winds grew so strong that he had to make use of the vines to keep himself steady. He winced visibly with the touch of the thorns and he continued onwards. He wasn't much of a fan of these dizzying heights and with the peril of being blown off the mountain, it really made his hands feel pale with how he was climbing up this mountain. Upon hopefully reaching the apex of their ascent, Madison gave out a deep sigh of relief now that they made it up to the well. The gate guardian had said to drink from this well of enchanted nature but surely there had to be more to it than that. Either way he would pull up the well water, inspecting it first before he took a drink. Still if he wanted to progress he would have to take the proverbial leap of faith and drink. He hoped he didn't regret it."

An above average student and athlete (wrestling and track), he was fairly popular in school but always felt the call to serve his country. And after graduating, serve he did. He spent five years with an elite unit serving multiple tours in Afghanistan before a rocket propelled grenade had taken a good portion of his left leg and his left hand. Gone were his dreams of a military career and with it his fiance who could not take the strain of the changes in his body and mind. It was sheer willpower that kept him going, as there was very little driving him externally. It was simply pride and his inability to give up more than anything that got him up in the morning every day. But he was clearly unhappy with his life. <br/><br/>In retrospect, taking that trip was the best choice in his life. Advertised as a retreat for wounded warriors, he was trying something new by throwing some ski's on his prosthetics and giving the pristine slopes a shot. For a moment, that he arrived somewhere explainable took second fiddle to the fact that he had arrived physically whole.  He had already pushed away everyone that had been important to him before he left. It was the clean slate he had wished for, however unlike how he might have imagined it. No baggage. No history.

As if he was placed there to serve as nothing more than filler for somebody more important, a face in the background or a friend that you sort of know but never really hang out with. He coasted through school with very little effort, making grades that weren't great but not bad either, and considered his relationships to be nothing more than normal. A girlfriend here or there, lost his virginity at seventeen to someone he can't even remember, and neither liked or disliked his various bosses. A smattering of friends circled him, but like attracted like at least. The only positive thing to say about him would be his looks, but his aloof - if not, constantly bored outlook on thing - demeanor dimmed things down a little.<br/><br/>That all changed however, when Earth was left behind one day. Since being transported to this new world, Ry seems more alive than he used to be on Earth. His mind is clearer, views things with more enthusiasm, and even so much as banters with the locals in a playfully sarcastic sort of way. No longer does he feel like just another face in the crowd. It's like he was reborn, and the man no longer knows if he wants to return to the life that came before.<br/><br/><strong>Goal:</strong> Explore these new landscapes since he has no intention on going back to what he came from.<br/><br/><strong>Stats:</strong> <strong>5</strong> Endurance / <strong>6</strong> Sense / <strong>5</strong> Battle Mastery / <strong>3</strong> Carnal Mastery<br/><br/><strong>Affinities:</strong> n/a<br/><br/><strong>Title:</strong> n/a<br/><br/><strong>Comments: </strong> Explore, explore, explore. Ry'll be looking to absorb as much as he can, and experience as much as he can. Even if there is a chance that it could get him killed. After all, it wasn't like he was living before, so now is as good a time as any to start. Figure his fighting style will be leaning towards more of a heavy weapons fighter with a hint of arcane combat magic if he ends up going down that path. But for the time being, he'll probably be beating on anything that he has at his disposal. <br/><br/>Possible skills that he had before coming to the new world would include: Basic Survival Skills from Boy Scouts that he was forced to attend, and Basic Hunting skills. Like he'd know how to track possible prey, and set rudimentary traps. Probably enough to ensnare a rabbit or or bird or something. His patience might be tested though, if a.) it took a while to catch something, and b.) if he was hungry and had nothing else to eat in the meantime. <br/><br/>Ryder is also a bit of a lumbering giant, in that he stands at around 6'3"" and weights a little more than average for his guys his size. Mostly muscle later on down the road, but for now - at the beginning and before all the battles - he is more on a lean, athletic side that comes from light weight training and regular jogs around where he came from. <br/></span><br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Inventory:</strong><br/><strong>[ A Blank Book </strong>] -<em>Tabula rasa</em>.

For example, if your character gets into a few battles, he'll get some battle-based affinity that caters to the style that he used (all freeform; so if you decide you want your character to dual wield crossbows or literally anything, that would be your 'style'). If he were to change his style later, he could gain a different affinity for that new style. If your character decides that he'd rather sleep with a few cute girls in the town instead, he'd start to unlock sex-based affinities. The exact unlock interval is unknown for now, but it'll begin quickly and become more occasional as you unlock more in that affinity.<br/><br/>A title is rewarded when you get a few affinities - it basically looks at how your character has developed. Does he have a lot of battle affinities? Then he might get a title that gives him a bonus in battle. Or if he has a mix of a bunch of affinities (battling then sleeping with his spoils of war, etc.), then he would get a title based on that.<br/><br/>Edit: you won't be able to see a list of affinities, because it doesn't exist. It's not really something you plan for, but something that happens as you play. So I'd look at your posts and see that you lean towards certain tendencies, and create an affinity for you."

I also added a changelog so it's easier for you guys to see what's new.<br/><br/>Secondly, it looks like the game has begun! The first cycle of posts has finished. For the future, in regards to a posting order, it will follow a cycle like we just did. If the situation calls for a different order, we will discuss it in the OOC.<br/><br/>Also, for maximum viewing enjoyment, you should view my posts in a larger window (some of the formatting gets messed up otherwise) and in any theme EXCEPT October. Location links (such as 'Rabi Peaks Descent') will usually be accompanied by glorious background music. Character portraits can be clicked for a larger (more complete) picture of the character, and you'll also notice that Astal has a pink health bar. Pink bars denote larger HP pools (around 1 _ is 100 HP).<br/><br/>Lastly, it seems Astal has left behind an item: since there is only one item, you will have to work it out amongst yourselves as to who gets to hold it."

If you decide to split up and go to different areas/booths, that's also fine. The bag of trinkets is used for bartering instead of currency. I'll also allow each person to have one extra item (like a cellphone, or whatever) for bartering. Please post what personal item your character brought.<br/><br/>As for the trinkets, they should be enough for each of your characters to sleep for the night, and to have a meal. I'll remind everyone that you can get seriously creative with this game. Don't feel limited to what I give you. Asking to stay with aria, bartering for lower prices, seducing a girl to take you home, are just a few examples of things you can do for an extra edge. Whatever you think of can probably be done.

So I'm just working all kinds of awesome things for Voyage. There's going to be a storyline in each place you go to, and completing it will grant a large amount of exp and a special item. You'll need to have certain requirements to 'uncover' the story in some cases (like having high enough sense lets you notice something out of the ordinary), and in other cases, the story will be announced, but you'll need to have high enough CM or BM to complete it.<br/><br/>They're going to be more elaborate than normal sense checks, like the ones that let you win minigames or get discounts at merchants. One of the storylines I have right now has 3 parts to it: a high enough sense to uncover the story, then having enough sense to gain access to a normally hidden area, then having an item that lets you survive in that area. A bit tough, but the rewards are very very good. This storyline happens to be quite sense-reliant, but other ones will need different stats, or even a combination. That's where teamwork with each other could come into play, since you'll each be able to complete different parts of the story. In that scenario, everyone would split the reward (A 36 exp reward would give everyone 12 exp each; an item reward would have to be given to one person only)."

With this cycle, let's wrap up the walk down from the descent. It'll get confusing with two different time periods in each post.<br/><br/>Also, as Aria mentioned, there is a Judgement Drive in Verrune (a city). That's the way I've decided on for magic: just having your characters know magic wouldn't make sense, and having them actually train and learn magic would take too long. So, the Judgement Drive is a tool made by mages to teach magic. The stronger you are (as a person, potential and whatnot, not stats-wise), the more magic you'll be able to wield. This will be represented in your writing style: after your character touches the Drive, you'll be able to battle with any magical style if you so wish. As for why your epic spell does no damage because your BM is 3, that can be written as your lack of practice, or whatever reason you invent. Most people in the world have a low potential, so they are generally not able to use magic. In addition, using the Judgement Drive requires quite a fee, so be prepared for that as well. Something on the level of blue rarity or higher (purple, orange).<br/><br/>Lastly, with the completion of this cycle your characters are now free to split up. Please use the tagging system when everyone is in the same city. If you decide to split up and go to different cities, I will open new threads, but all of you are still stuck in Lymsa's Cove until the next day, which will be announced in the OOC when everyone finishes up with the festival and finds a place to sleep (or not)."

The unfriendly landscape of the peaks had claimed the lives of many unprepared travelers, venturing out without a guide only to find themselves lost, endlessly circling about the same place.

No longer convinced he was dreaming and yet his body was restored. A few relationships from his old life tugged at him, but far stronger was the pull to explore this opportunity at a new start on his life.<br/><br/>His initial explorations had seemed to just indicate a different physical environment, but with the first meeting with others, to include some creatures fantastic, he quickly realized that the change was far more than he thought. In ways they resembled what he remembered of studies in history and explorations in fantasy. Various movies and games he had watched and played ran through his head at each new encounter.<br/><br/>At least they gave him a platform on which to base his new reality. He was glad he had grown up in an era where the wanderings of the mind had so many outlets. Still, the idea that these flights of fancy were now the norm was still something to overcome. But he was a fighter, in both a literal and figurative sense, and he would make a way for himself here.<br/><br/>As it was, he had already managed to acquire some clothes and items that allowed him to blend in. His own curious nature to those natives he encountered provided that opportunity. Gone were the bulk of the stuff he had arrived with. He clung on to just a handful of things from his old life. Things that could still be worth something here. Skills he had learned from his old life were still valuable, some of them incredibly so, but those were just a stepping-stone for what was to come.<br/><br/>Where he had found himself was harsh, but no more so than the nastier parts of Afghanistan. He had managed to do well enough to continue, despite it all. Still, something other than the meat he had traded for from the small caravan he had stumbled would have been good and what he spotted ahead could be the fix he was hoping for.<br/><br/>With a fixed point to guide him, he made his way to it, a certain need pushing him to make good time."

Drunken cheering, the roasting of meats over crackling fires and loud, hearty songs filled the air. The smell of caramelized meats, roasted vegetables... it was to die for. The bandit who had led Bram here prodded him insistently, leading him up a central ridge to a massive ship. In the distance, and all throughout the the nearby ridges stood hundreds of men, some on lookout duty, while others just drank and ate to their heart's content. The ship itself looked like part of the cliff itself, and certainly was a match for its size. Probably about the size of a large apartment building, it had been anchored into the ridges. A large, looming blue crystal peeked out on the deck of the ship, but looked to be dim and inactivated.<br/><br/>The surrounding cheers died down when Bram walked into the encampment, all eyes turning to stare.<br/><br/>""Soulspire!"" Some voices shouted, inciting a chorus of jeers and boos.<br/><br/>Before long, Bram was led before a woman, dressed in greaves and a flowing red robe. Her generous cleavage stood proudly in the air, barely covered by her attire. Curled horns protruded from her head, looking shockingly real.

She walked to him, taking slow, deliberate steps as she sized him up. Bram was taller then her, but the woman had a devilish aura about her that sent shivers down the spine and drained the blood from the hands and feet.<br/><br/>""Those are Soulspire robes,"" Lysa growled, lifting one leg to rest it on a nearby rock.<br/><br/>""You from the Temple?""

To be fair, he was tired and hungry, but that was no real excuse in his mind. How many stalks had be been on with his father and how many ambushes had he himself been a part of while deployed. He was trying to justify all this in his mind while taking in the sights before him. It was on the stranger side of what he could imagine.<br/><br/>He resigned to his fate at least in the sense that he was being brought closer to the source of the pleasant smells of well cooked meats. What he saw when they reached their final destination made his eyebrows raise in a fair bit of surprise. The woman in front of him was absolutely stunning, but the horns looked as if they were actually part of her. Further, their presence did not detract her attractiveness in the slightest.<br/><br/>She was clearly a woman of power, and considering the company she apparently kept, she was likely very capable and ruthless.<br/><br/>He sized her up and she did him, unflinching at her proximity. He may have had her by a few inches of height and several dozens of pounds of muscle, but she was very much presenting herself as the one in control. And whether he liked it or not right now, she was.<br/><br/>He cocked his head slightly at her comment and question, one eyebrow raising. ""I've not seen any temple.

A soft chuckle at first, followed by a surprisingly feminine laugh for a bandit queen.<br/><br/>""Well, he doesn't seem like he's from there,"" Lysa concluded, still keeping a watchful eye on Bram.

The blazing heat of the Peaks seemed to be dying now, as a cool breeze washed over them.

The muffled sounds of the temple city could be heard behind the massive iron gate of a door; the hustle and bustle of the marketplace, the hourly ringing of the temple bell, and the overlapping chants of thousands of prayers.

She was beautiful, in fact. The term, in this case, definitely meant something else from his time the the Army.

It was not exactly what he expected, initially, but then realized that she was just performing the standard duties of a sentry. Something with which he was intimately familiar. It was also this moment in which he realized that he was standing alone.<br/><br/>He had to assume that Lucille had managed to hide or disappear, likely waiting for him to make a play one way or the other regarding getting past this guardian. He wondered at the wisdom of trying to handle this physically, and it gnawed at him that he would even be willing to consider it as a legitimate option in the first place considering how little he knew of both parties he was now becoming involved with. He always had very good reasons for fighting in the past, and the idea of killing someone for what amounted to 'fuel' was not a good enough reason. At least without knowing more.<br/><br/>He hoped that a simple parley might get him passed and in a position to bargain for the Manyte, but knew that it meant leaving his guide behind for the time being.

A sliver or two would be plenty,"" he said to the purveyor, he tried to keep his face relatively neutral.

It would have been too easy, and if it had been too easy, he would have questioned his entire picture he had developed in his head of what the hell was going on around him.<br/><br/>Not that he had any real idea. Lysa and her followers had a rough air about them and figured they were a shady bunch. Still, he had hoped that he might get away with doing this without stealing or fighting. He still hoped for that, actually. But it was becoming more of a challenge to do it.<br/><br/>He glanced at the price list of his goods and looked past the man’s shoulders to the items that hung from the racks and sat on the shelves and table. He’d have to buy something to get some information and had no idea what the stuff he had on him was worth. Bargaining like that was never going to end well, but he had to start somewhere, so he figured he’d start big.<br/><br/>He pulled out his sunglasses a longing look on his face.

He figured he might as well learn the area a bit while he did so. When he could, he would ask people about the temple and the local area. He even asked some folks about possible rumors of pirates or brigands or mercenaries in the area, mentioning that he had heard of one name Lysa.

Soulspire Temple was built as a fortress by First Bishop Eden during the Burning, a dark event where those of the faith were hunted and driven out, following the slaughter of an entire town by a crazed archangel. Soulspire was meant to be a bastion for any and all followers of the faith, impossible to find and even harder to attack. Nowadays, Soulspire acts as the central hub for all faiths and beliefs, and is linked to other major cities through the manastream.<br/><br/>Another man would tell  him about the Rabi Peaks, a winding labyrinth of mountains that housed two major cities, Soulspire and Lymsa's Cove. There were a host of small villages scattered about, but they were near impossible to find. Lymsa's Cove acted as the main route of transport by sea, and was home to many of the mountains' navigators.<br/><br/>There was little information on the Crimson Devils, but there had been some rumors of a reward for any who could clear out the area of some unruly bandits. Maybe somebody in the Grand Chapel would know.<br/><br/>The manyte supply room marked on the map was next to the Grand Chapel, nestled in a hidden location behind the gigantic building. A small path led to the room, obscured by some trees. A few guards made patrols around the area, but the area was at the heart of Soulspire.

Porcelain tiles made up the entire floor, and the walls of a white material reminiscent of marble.

He wondered idly if there were enchantments to lessen the burden. He knew that materials, quality of construction and personalization could help in that regard, but it always seemed like whatever improvement was made, was countered by some other aspect of it. He liked being able to move easily when he fought, mobility being a major component of assault operations. But it was nice to be able to take a rifle shot to the chest and stand back up, even if it took the wind out of you for a second.<br/><br/>Drawn back to the guard in front of him by his reply, he nodded and gave a small smile at the man’s assertion regarding his potential as a warrior.<em>I’d better have some warrior’s aura about me</em>, he thought.<em>I’ve been doing it for a while with some of the best in the world.</em><br/><br/>He cocked his head slightly and narrowed his eyes as the man spoke of the Devils. More nods and acknowledging grunts were given as he did his best to give the man the attention he deserved for offering the information he had.

So Seriel has a personal interest in ensuring their elimination. That is good to know, and a personal audience would be grand, indeed. I understand the nature of lack of resources. You can only do so much with what you have,” he said, doing his best without trying to sound condescending.

He was one man against a fairly large and semi-organized band of brigands or he would have to effectively become a brigand himself and earn the disfavor of Soulspire. In his mind, the choice was not overly difficult, but the possibility of playing both sides did appeal to him at a base level in his mind.<br/><br/>The worst part was that he had no idea what kind of reach the Crimson Devils actually had. He knew of at least one little ninja type that was in the vicinity, likely hiding out with the intent to link back up with him when he got the manyte. But how long would she wait and were there others. Moreover, if they came back empty handed, how capable were they of finding him. He was likely safe as long as he stayed in or near the temple, but the idea of being stuck here just to save his own skin rankled him.<br/><br/>“Shit,” he said under his breath as he ran a hand through his hair.<br/><br/>He glanced around the area and figured he might as well get eyes back on the manyte chamber. If nothing else, he might find a way to get into the room without having to hurt anyone. Or, if bad came to worse and he was brought back to the Crimson Devils, he might have enough information to save his own skin. He did not like having to way out his own life compared to others, especially when it likely meant other getting hurt. He had spent his entire adult life being the buffer between the wolves at the door and those people and ideals that he cared about. He had even paid for that with parts of his own body. He glanced down at himself still in awe of the fact that he was whole again.<br/><br/>He did not want his second chance to turn him into something he despised, though. He would have to be careful about how he treaded in this new and fantastic world.<br/><br/>“Only been here a few days and already getting into ethical and philosophical conundrums…lovely,” he said quietly as he made his way to an inconspicuous spot to watch the manyte chamber.<br/><br/>He thought about his situation further and realized that he was going to have to figure out how to keep himself fed on a regular basis pretty soon. He hoped that he might find some kind of weakness in the guarding of the chamber while he contemplated how he might yet go about trying to take out the Devils.

You get a woman worked up enough and she would come out of her shell. At least that had been his experience, relatively limited as it was. As desireable as he had been because of his looks and his job, the fact was he had never been the kind to abuse the opportunity. Hell, the opportunities had not even come up that often because his interest often lied in places other than the clubs and bars that were frequented by the girls that wanted men like him...or at least the type of man he represented. He actually did not consider it that big of a loss in the scheme of things. Too often he had seen that stuff end badly.<br/><br/>But the girls discussion with her friend and then watching her play with herself stirred something in him he had not felt in a fair while. After his injuries, he had rather shut down his sex drive. As much as he hated to admit it, there was a good amount of self-pity that took over part of him when things in his life went to shit. He could not imagine a woman wanting him in the condition he was in. Especially after his fiance had taken off upon discovering the nature of his wounds.<br/><br/>But now he was whole again, and there was a desirable and apparently frustrated woman not within a stone's throw of him. He smiled and shook his head at the thoughts going through his head at a million miles an hour. Coming to a decision, he figured if he got lucky, he could kill some time in a pleasant fashion and perhaps even get some information from the girl in the process. If she shot him down, he was in no worse position than he was already. Seeing her face sealed the deal in his mind. She was as pretty as any girl he had been with in the past, to include his ex. Things might be looking up for him after all.<br/><br/>And lastly, in all that, their blunt conversation and his own wandering thoughts almost made him miss what could be the answer to his dilemma. They had been transporting a rock to the stream. He hoped that meant a bit of manyte to the mana stream he had seen when he approached the Temple. It's not like actual water was free flowing around here, after all. He now had one more reason to make a play for the girl and information may not even be needed if she did, in fact, have what he needed.<br/><br/>He quietly stepped out from his hidden position and shifted a little behind her so that it might appear that he arrived from somewhere other than his hide site. He moved close to her, just behind her and to the side a bit. He leaned in close. ""Miss,"" he said, fairly sure he would catch her by surprise, so he kept his expression relaxed and easy. ""I'm sorry but I couldn't help but overhear...,"" he added, giving her a moment to catch herself before leaning in closer. ""...but it appears that with the cold wind, perhaps a little fire in you might be in order,"" he went on, his expression turning to barely repressed lust with a hint of mirth at the position he had put her in with his comment. His use of words made it clear that he had heard a fair bit of the conversation with her friend.<br/><br/>He continued to close on her to where he could grab her if she decided to bolt. ""Perhaps I can help you a bit...with the cold, I mean...well, and maybe your other problem,"" he finished, his expression was almost pure lust now, the wicked smile on his face spoke of all the things that he would do to 'assist' her with her problems. He tried to key in on what his comments were doing to her. She might want to bolt, but he hoped he could read that a greater part of her wanted to stay and see what happened. If she even gave him the slightest hint that she wanted what he was offering, he was willing to help her realize her own desires."

A chime from the chapel bell signaled the coming of the day's end, determined by the setting sun which now cast its warm orange glow over the entire temple. The girl's brunette hair caught the sun's light behind it, glowing almost auburn in its radiance. Serissa's cool eyes bore a hole into the weathered stone wall across from her, once white and pure, now reduced to a fading gray. Why did I have to be born so poor, she cursed. Her mother had sold her to become a priestess to cover their family's debts; that might not have been so bad if she were actually to become a priestess. No, Serissa had in reality, been sold to become a maid- a 'priestess apprentice', so they called it. A workhorse for the temple until she broke down and died.<br/><br/>Lost in her daily ritual of cursing the world, Serissa did not notice Bram until he was beside her. At his words, she nearly jumped from her seat, twisting her body around to look at him. She quickly threw her hood over her head and cast her eyes downward, covering her face. She barely got to look at him, but he looked strong. Like the guards, even. There was no rule that forbid her from showing her face, but Serissa knew from past experience that her looks were more often a curse than a blessing. Her status was too low; if any men were to take interest in her, she might have an even worse fate.<br/><br/>""I-"" she stammered, hunching her shoulders and taking a step back. Serissa peeked out from under the robe, getting a first real look at Bram. To her surprise, he actually looked like a real man. No hideous deformations on his face, not overweight, nor lecherous. She might even be brave enough to say that he was handsome. Her friend's words echoed in her mind, of how she couldn't get a man.<br/><br/>Her green eyes scanned the surroundings, checking for anybody who might be watching the pair. She looked into Bram's eyes as if searching for something; a moment's hesitation, then a decision.  Serissa grabbed him by the wrist, her touch warm, but her hands weathered from constant labor. She whisked him away down the hidden pathway to the Manyte room. As soon as the pair were around the corner, she pushed Bram against the wall, and sought to silence any words he might have with her mouth.<br/><br/>She leaned up, pressing her lips against his and slid her tongue into his mouth, cautiously exploring. The softness of her body and her chest pressed into Bram as she leaned into him, standing on her toes to reach his face. Look at me now, she thought in victory, thinking of her friend. She pushed forward with her tongue insistently, seeking Bram's own."

He was worried he might have to press her, to give her that little nudge that would send her over to the desires he was quite sure she was suppressing. The change in her demeanor, though, was sudden and exactly what he rather hoped for. He did his best to keep the obvious triumph from the smile on his face as she grabbed him and pulled him along. It only confirmed in his mind that if you came on to the right woman at the right time, almost nothing else mattered. He admitted that his own appearance, trying to not be too conceited, probably weighed the possibilities in his favor, though.<br/><br/>He took in their surroundings as she pulled him along toward the manyte room to a fairly well hidden spot, the lust in her eyes obvious. He took in her pretty and impassioned face as she pressed close to him and opened his mouth to say something when she leaned up and into him, pressing her body to him and finding his lips with her own. He fell into the kiss and let her tongue enter his mouth, letting his own duel with hers as they explored each other.<br/><br/>His hands roamed her body, from gentle caresses on her sides and back and shifting to a firm grip of her buttocks as he pulled her into himself. He was more than content to let her have her way with him to a point, but he fully intended on having his way with her, as well.<br/><br/>As one hand continued to squeeze and paw at her buttocks, the other moved up her back to grasp at the hair at the base of her neck. He pulled firmly, separating themselves from their searching kiss. His eyes flashed at her, his own passion clearly evident, before pulling further on her hair and exposing her neck to him. He breathed in her scent as he brought his head down to kiss, lick, and nip at her neck and ear.<br/><br/>He made no effort to disguise his arousal and was sure she could feel his hardness against her stomach. He pressed into her with renewed vigor, his hand on her buttocks searching through the offending material of her robes for the crease that led to her sex. The hand that had pulled her hair released its grip and sought her side and breast, firmly caressing and cupping the supple shape of it. She fit nicely in his hand and his fingers found the now turgid nipple, tweaking it slightly between his thumb and index finger. He growled softly into her neck and inhaled the scent of her gentle soap and fresh sweat.<br/><br/>He had always preferred women this way and it drove him in his ministrations. He almost hated it when women would cover themselves in heavy perfumes. Far better a subtle hint of something pleasant mixed with their own personal scent was far more arousing to him. And this young woman met that in spades. He looked forward to getting between her legs and smelling and tasting her core, but he was hoped to make this something memorable for this girl and did not want to rush things just yet.<br/>Unfortunately, he was working on a time schedule. With just a little less than an hour to enjoy her, he may have to move faster than he would like. Still, he looked forward to coaxing out of her everything he could. He knew from experience that he was good for at least two orgasms in that time, but part of him was hoping for three. For her, though, the idea of turning her into a puddle of orgasmic bliss was what really pushed him right now.<br/><br/>He was having a hard time holding back at the moment, but she seemed to want the majority of control at the moment, so he let her set the pace. The way she was going and with the reactions she seemed to have at his ministrations, he was fairly sure it would not be long before he would be inside her. He smiled at the thought. They could have a less hurried session once the edge was off, after all.<br/>He pulled his face back from her neck and found her eyes with his once more, his hands continued to paw at her and his eyes were filled with a mix of lust and mirth. He gave her an easy smile that offered her the world if she wanted it as he glanced down between them and took in her body from up close, her breasts heaving with her anxious breaths.<br/><br/>His whole body was hard, almost rigid, his muscles flexing and releasing at the energy coursing through him. He hated to admit that his first time with a woman in months might end too quickly, but he would cross that bridge when it came. He wanted her, and it was clear that she wanted him at this point, he would let her play, and then it would be his turn.<br/><br/>The glint in his eye when he caught her eyes again challenged her, urging her to continue. But the strength behind his gaze let her know that he would take control if she faltered.<br/>"

Her eyes closed as she pressed herself firmly into Bram's hardened body, taking in her first scent of a man in many months. As she exchanged her saliva with his, surrendering her mouth to him, she could feel her self-control slipping away. How good it felt to be touched by a man, Serissa thought contentedly, her mind muddled by desire. She reconsidered becoming a priestess entirely as Bram pulled her by the hair, exposing her sweet neck to the air. The moan that had been denied for so long was finally released as he brought his lips to her sensitive spots, his breath hot on her skin. She practically trembled in his embrace as he took control of her body; her whimpers of anticipation filled the hidden passageway as his fingers found their way to her sensitive nipple.<br/><br/>Serissa wasted not a moment more. Reluctantly, she pulled herself away from Bram's hands in search of a bigger prize. She sank to her knees and pulled the bottom of his robe apart, only to stop at the strange undergarments that Bram was wearing. Her momentary confusion did not stop her from the greater goal though, and in a few moments Serissa had pulled Bram's boxers to his ankles and set his throbbing cock free. She pulled back ever so slightly as it sprung free of its cage, threatening to smack her in the face. She took a moment to appreciate its form; the large, erect cock, standing at attention and aching for release. A curious hand went to wrap around Bram's shaft before stroking once, from base to tip, slowly and deliberately as to feel every inch. Serissa's thumb brushed along the vein as she gripped him firmly, her hand gliding up his length before reaching the bulbous head, tightening her grip ever so slightly as her thumb and index squeezed together, coaxing the precum to ooze from Bram's cock and into her waiting mouth.<br/><br/>She extended her tongue patiently, looking upwards as she caught the thick, smelly fluid and let it pool on her tongue. Her eyes closed as she drank it in, swallowing and relishing in the taste of a man. As if satisfied, Serissa began to work her hand now, beginning to pump Bram's cock with a frustratingly slow rhythm. Suddenly, as if she was reminded of her body's urgency, Serissa sped up, letting him experience the feeling of fucking her hand. When she felt his manhood almost pulse in her hand, Serissa could hold herself back no more. She stood, twisting around and bending herself over. One palm pressed against the stony wall, while other reached back and parted her robe. Her legs were spread apart as the long white robe was pulled over, revealing her bare, dripping pussy and the creamy, round globes of her ass. A trickle of her excitement ran down her legs, staining the pure white stockings below. With a desperate look in her eyes, Serissa turned her head backward to gaze at Bram, urging him to take her.<br/><br/><strong>Bram </strong><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">12/6/7/4/4</span><br/>Stamina remaining: 8."

He was determined to make her not regret that decision. He was mildly surprised when she pulled away from him, but a smile came to his lips at the flushed and lusty expression on her face. His smile broadened when she dropped to her knees in front of him. His hands moved to assist in keeping his robes from interfering her in retrieving his swollen cock. He easily stepped out of his boxers when she gathered them at his ankles. He planned on this being an active fuck and the last thing he wanted was to be caught up in them later.<br/><br/>He hunched slightly pushed his pelvis forward toward her as she took his member in her hands. His eyes burned as he watched her catch his pre-cum with her tongue. Her obvious delight fueled his rising passion and his already hard cock seemed to stiffen even more. He reached down with one of his hands and ran it through her hair, catching it in his fingers and making sure she kept his eyes on him while she continued to stroke his considerable length. She seemed to savor what she had taken from the tip of his cock as she fucked him with her hand. As much as he would have liked to have her mouth wrapped around his cock, he was not going to force it. Besides, her hands were quite deft and kept his excitement high driving him surprisingly close to his first orgasm.<br/><br/>He huffed as she took the moment to pause, and he released his grip on her hair as she rose, the look on her face was one bordering on frustration at her aroused state. He drank in her desperation and wanton presentation of her shapely ass and dripping sex. It was almost enough to comply with her obvious need, but he wanted to taste her before he took her. No small part of his decision was to give him time to relieve some of the edge on his own arousal before he did so.<br/><br/>He moved in behind her and dropped to his knees, his hands gripping and separating the cheeks of her ass and lewdly presented her nethers. He moved in and took one long swipe with his tongue from clit to anus, all the while taking in her scent. Her response was glorious. The frustrated growl she initially gave him at his delay did not last as it transitioned into a primal moan at the contact of his tongue against her cunt and pucker. He even felt her push against him as he drank her essence. He took another long slow lick of her sopping cunt and drove his tongue deep into her. Her moans once again shifted to have a bit of frustration and he could tell that his tongue could only do so much for her right now.<br/>He took one more taste of her before rising and gripping his cock and placing it at her entrance, rubbing the shaft against the swollen outer lips to coat it with her copious juices. Her moan was practically a whimper by the time he finally lined up the head of his cock and pushed his length into her. She would have been tight even for a more average cock, but his length and girth filled her completely. Her taut confines were warm and slick and welcoming. He groaned at how her pussy squeezed his cock, her wetness allowing him to bottom out, pressing on her cervix, with only two long and deep strokes.<br/><br/>He hunched over her and took a moment for her to adjust to his length, one hand gripping her hip and the other gripped at the base of her neck. It was but a moment before she was pushing back at him and he took that as his cue. He started with long, slow strokes and looked down to watch as her sex seemed to grasp at his retreating manhood. He had not had sex this primal in a long time and knew that he would not last more than a few minutes at this rate. He wanted to make sure she came with him, though, so he changed the angle of his thrusts until he found what drove her to the edge.<br/>"

She wanted nothing more than to feel the hot flesh of his rod fill her, but was denied once more. She moaned impatiently as his tongue found its way to her lower lips, already dripping with anticipation. Each lick and taste of her sex fueled her need for something more, and she pushed herself backwards into him, urging Bram on. The feeling of his cock rubbing at the entrance to her dripping insides was enough to elicit a groan from Serissa's lips. Her voice was guttural, primal with desire, and by the time he had finished teasing her, Serissa was practically begging for him like a kitten whimpering for milk.<br/><br/>When he finally obliged, Serissa's body quivered, relishing in the feeling of a man's cock inside of her. The velvet walls of her pussy clenched around Bram like a vice, squeezing his manhood and refusing to let go. As he pushed each inch of his throbbing cock inside of her, he stretched her apart and molded her insides around his cock until the tip of his spear pressed against the tight, forbidden entrance to her womb.<br/><br/>""Oh, gods,"" Serissa panted, ""I've never felt this full.""<br/><br/>The novel feeling was short-lived, as Serissa would be busy with other things.

class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Background: Joan of Arc's Crucifix Pendant</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> People often hear the news about a serial killer and wonder how people can do such a thing.  The thing is, they're looking at it from their own perspective.  It can be so easy to stare at a life devoid of grime and wonder why other people aren't so clean and pure.<br/><br/>When evil all you know, the idea of living a good life doesn't even make any sense.  That's as true in Miami as it is in Seattle.<br/><br/>Stephanie Jasmine Milano was a lot of things, and none of them were very good, but the one that most people understand best is assassin.  Real life isn't like an action movie where people are trained from birth and can execute a person at 300 yards with a pistol, or come in through the vents, and Stephanie needed little more than a pretty face and basic understanding of firearms to get herself a degree of prestige in organized crime.<br/><br/>When she started out, it was simply as a spotter.  Working with a team, she'd follow a particular target, eventually backing away to allow someone else to take over.  Stealth isn't as easy as the movies, either, because anyone deliberately trying to be stealthy will immediately be noticed for a change in behavior.  It takes practice to walk without your footsteps making much noise, staying reasonably close to walls and staying fast enough to not be glimpsed for more than a moment or two.<br/><br/>Eventually, they gave her a gun and instructed her in its use, telling her to put a few bullets in the head of the target.  Once she did it, she really, truly belonged.  She found out about the Family, the secret group of assassins responsible for any number of deaths throughout the centuries.  Most of the jobs were in Miami, but a few of them required plane or train passage while she had an ironclad alibi back home.<br/><br/>A lot of great people worked in Los Angeles, and she misses quite a few of them.  Wheels, her driver, would pick her up even if it was three in the morning and she was too drunk to walk straight.  She never did find out his real name.  The Family accountant kept her inundated with enough money that she could buy a new dress each season, now represented just with her nest egg, a finite resources which should last her for a few more years if she keeps her expenses low.  God often provides in little ways, but there's no sense tempting Him by rushing through that money, and she knows that something will happen to help her by the time it's gone.<br/><br/>Once, it was a politician.  She doesn't remember which one, but she didn't have to kill him.  They were in the middle of having sex when she pulled a gun on him and told him, as she'd been instructed, that he'd have to honor his debts or he'd never feel safe again.  The pervert actually got even more turned on, though he promised to do the right thing.<br/><br/>There's just something about having a family that cares about you, even if that family isn't yours by blood.  How do you abandon the only people that know you even if they ask difficult things from you?  Even if you end up with nightmares?  If not for Gabriel Minaco, she might never have left.  Well, if not for the other man with him.<br/><br/>Back then, a target was just a target.  She knew habits, rituals, appearance, but nothing to actually make Gabriel any more than a corpse-to-be.  She didn't know his favorite color, or the sound of his laugh, or any of the other dozens of little things that would leave her desperate to understand the lives she snuffed out.<br/><br/>Gabriel was different only in that he was already dead when she got there.  Seated in his chair, he might well have only been asleep but for the recognition she held from someone who'd seen enough dead bodies to know the difference.  Standing over him was another man, immaculately dressed and offering her a smile.  ""Hello, Stephanie.""<br/><br/>Quick as lightning, her hands went up to snuff the witness.  The only thing to stop her was that he knew her name.  This had to be some sort of a setup.<br/><br/>""God still loves you, Stephanie.""  She hated him for that, for not being afraid of her, for his smug arrogance.  ""Aren't you tired of living like this?  Aren't you tired of the nightmares?""<br/><br/>At the time, she didn't know why she didn't shoot him.  Looking back, it only made sense that he was exactly right.  She did want a way out; she just didn't know it.  She would like to say that she felt something, then, but so much of those moments feel more like a dream.<br/><br/>The only proof she had that it happened was the crucifix pendant.  Belonging to Joan of Arc and passed down throughout history, it gives its bearer the ability to heal wounds that might otherwise cripple a person.  With all the damage she's taken over the years since, she's needed it.<br/></div></div><br/>Rising Conflict: Old Habits Die Hard<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);""

his life a sense of stability, allowed him to maintain a level of professionalism.  More importantly, he could sweep the place regularly for listening devices without concern, and use signal jammers and low-level white noise to throw off any other means of recording him.  The police were paid well enough not to care, and the IRS had more interest in payment of taxes than in what work is done, but one can't be too careful when the business is killing someone for money.<br/><br/>Caution was the first thing that burned through his mind when she walked in.  After all, in his experience, anything that required caution in Los Angeles walked in on crimson stiletto heels with too-tall legs and the kind of dress that looked like it was spraypainted onto her.  The burning scarlet of her lips, her hair, her smile full of promises all threatened to burn him if he wasn't careful.<br/><br/>""Theodore vouched for me, right?""  Her words were soft honey carried by the wings of angels, and it became harder and harder to figure out why he couldn't shake the feeling that he should run.<br/><br/>""Lucy.""  He gave a simple nod, deciding to at least hear her out for the time being.  It wouldn't be the first time that his overactive paranoia betrayed him, after all.  ""Did you bring a photo?""<br/><br/>With a coy smile, Lucy plucked a photograph from her purse, sliding it across the desk with scarlet fingernails so perfectly manicured.  Something about the soft wave of her hand made him wonder whether having those nails raking through his back would truly scorch him, and he didn't even see the face until his hand reflexively caught the picture.  ""Stephanie Jasmine Milano.""<br/><br/>Aston frowned as he looked at the photo.  Certainly he knew the name, just as he knew Stephanie.  Half the family knew her, one way or another.  Yet there she was in what was clearly New Orleans, despite that he knew that she'd always wanted to go there and never got the assignments.  ""She skipped out?""  Disgust filled his tone, one of the few emotions that raged past the distraction across from the desk.  ""She was one of the good ones.""<br/><br/>""Too good,"" Lucy mused.  ""You'll most likely kill her, but if you can't, I'd like you to give her something for me.""<br/><br/>Ready this time, Aston caught the blackened piece of silver, looking it over curiously.<br/></div></div><br/>Guest Starring [Sylvan]: Not Just A Pretty Face<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Guest Starring Redux (Matt): God Is My Judge</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Crashes have a habit of drawing attention, except in bad neighborhoods.  In many places, people either want to help or simply to observe what was going on.  All too often, though, people will turn their backs and leave others to their own devices, or even believe that they've done a good turn if they bother to call an ambulance.<br/><br/>Grace remembered those days vividly.  Some parts of her old life carried a strong temptation to come back, but the helplessness, the disdain, the belief that everyone was in it for themselves and that she had to fight for every inch of her existence alone was a quiet horror that she would never miss.<br/><br/>She hadn't been alone even then, but knowing it and feeling it were entirely different things.  The path she walked had been ordained to ensure she was in the right place at the right time, exactly where she needed to be.<br/><br/>At the moment, that path involved seeing a Red Court Infected whose tattoos were showing, beating on a human who no doubt deserved to be pummeled within an inch of his life.  She tried letting the noise of cocking the Desert Eagle speak for her, but when that didn't suffice, spoke a single word, ""Enough.""<br/><br/>""And he doesn't deserve this?""  Barely-bridled rage spat at Grace from the Infected, but she let it slide.  Matt had already done so much for her that she could hardly expect him to be perfect.  Everyone had something to deal with, and he'd already proven he was stronger than she could ever be.  Then again, he had to be.<br/><br/>""I can take care of that.""  She aimed the iron sights of her weapon just under his throat.  The recoil would catch the weapon when she fired, but she knew all too well how to take recoil into account, and the bullet would go through his forehead.  ""I don't really think you want to see it when it happens.""<br/><br/>Matt nodded, and released the man, who was frozen with terror.  Stephanie, Grace, didn't really try to be intimidating.  She just knew who she was, what she was, and what she had to do.  ""May God forgive you,"" she said...<br/><br/>...and nothing.<br/><br/>The Bible describes Abraham's stopping his sacrifice of Isaac when an angel called out, but it wasn't what it felt like.  Her arm almost seemed to freeze, as if someone had grabbed her wrist.  At that moment, she couldn't fire any more than she could fly.<br/><br/>It wasn't the first time, but with Matt's certainty, she hadn't expected it.  Then again, in her darker nights, it seemed ridiculous that she should be sent out upon her task without much guidance.<br/><br/>Still, her duty wasn't complete.  ""I trust you know where you need to deliver the girl you kidnapped?"" she asked.<br/><br/>Silently quivering, he nodded.<br/><br/>""That one is spoken for.  You'll just have to bring me along instead.""<br/></div></div><br/><hr/><br/>Skills<br/><table

She could never understand why her mother was always so protective of her. She was brought up in pagan traditions and each year at Beltane she and her mother would drive out to a forest near hours from their home and spend the day in a copse of trees. Her mother would teach her many things and it was a pretty place. The standing trees in the glen they spent time seemed to have many different trees. Almost in a circle was Oak, Ash, Apple, Hazel. Alder. Elder, and Yew. She would play for hours in the glen and not once did she leave the shelter of the trees due to her mother’s warning not to stray.<br/><br/>One particular day, she chased a bunny past the Yew tree and before she realized it, she was lost. She came upon a young boy with a wide smile and a cheerful way about him. They played together and as time passed he taught her how to live in the forest and move with the stars. He showed her how to make a bow and hunt to feed. He even taught her how to creep upon even the most alert animal. Unbeknownst to little Morgayne, days and nights had passed. Finally she asked about her mother and how she was waiting for her. The by, whom she knew as Puck, only shook his head and smiled. But that smile soon faded and they raced back to the glen only to find her mother hacking away at the Elder tree with a cold iron axe screaming, “Give her back!” Puck turned into a great big scary man with antlers and Morgayne was afraid.<br/><br/>“Hold your hand, woman! She is returned.”<br/><br/>“You promised!”<br/><br/>“I only promised to not keep her from you. My daughter will choose one day and nothing can keep her from her destiny.”<br/>Her mother dragged her from there in angry denial and it was only later that she learned her true nature and that she had spent not a day and night with Puck but three months. She also found out he was her father in the form of a child.<br/><br/>It was hard enough to find out that her father was the ErlKing. A powerful Wylde Fae. Soon it didn’t matter and she grew to resent him. Her mother, already over protective became unbearable but Morgayne could do nothing but watch her mother make herself sick. Finally after three years her mother died suddenly in a car accident. Morgayne was left on her own. She ended up in many foster homes but kept fighting and because of her heritage she was faster and stronger so it became an issue. She dreamed of her father coming to rescue her but he never came.<br/><br/>Finally at fourteen she ended up on the streets before being picked up by the authorities. This time she lucked out and ended up with an elderly man who fostered her. With two others, Marco and Jeanette, she learned a mixture of parkour and martial arts. She excelled in her studies and graduated high school. Through it all, she ate up anything she found out about her father and the fae but even that became a dormant part of her life as time passed. She was once more happy.<br/><br/>It was on the incident of her eighteenth birthday that she realized she couldn’t stay. Normal people weren’t supposed to know about the Supernatural but it had invaded her home and killed those she loved. Whether it was one of the Queens, the Others, or her father she didn’t care. She blames the ErlKing for making her a part of that world. She doesn’t talk about it. She only survived because a kindly wizard had come to her rescue and pointed her to neutral ground. She moved to New Orleans where she reluctantly took on the job of a Budweiser girl, dishing out charm and beer on the seedy bar scene.<br/>Neutral territory and part of the covenant New Orleans may be, but it was rife with the Supernatural. This is where her story truly begins.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Rising Conflict: To Be or not to Be</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The train ride back to New Orleans was a thoughtful one for Morgayne. It seemed her life would become nothing but tears and bloodshed without any normalcy. What she wouldn’t give to be just human, ignorant and blissful living a mundane life. She sighed heavily as she sank deeper into her chair watching the blur of scenery. A week ago she was laughing with Tiffany and now she plotting vengeance for the poor girl’s murder. She could still see the grisly crime scene in her mind. The poor girl was given no quarter. <br/><br/>She pushed the thoughts of her dead friend away and mulled over more recent events. Leaning against the seat beside her was a long slender case. She could feel its vibrations even if no one else could. It was tied to her now and once more she was on the path she had once long ago stepped away from. Once more she was in her father’s shadow. She thought deeply of the conversation in that glen with the trees standing like sentinels. What transpired made her shiver inwardly.<br/><br/>“You owe me something for the pain you caused me. For not caring!”<br/><br/>“I cared dearly for you. I stayed away.”<br/><br/>“You abandoned me!” She had screamed those words at him and felt a well of satisfaction to see him flinch.<br/><br/>“I kept you safe. You are not strong enough to face the Fae alone. You would if you would only choose,” he replied, his words holding an underlying menace despite his fatherly tones.<br/><br/>“And what? Look like a creepy goblin. You are King of Death and Shadows. You have no feeling. Maeb has more love in her heart of ice than you.”<br/><br/>“’Ware child, lest you draw her attention. What is to say you would not keep your form as you are. You would come into much power.” His tone became tinged with irritation and the world began to darken, the trees seeming to become more gnarled.<br/><br/>“I don’t care! My friend is dead because YOU are my father. How will I protect myself or anyone else for that matter? You want me, well give me something I can use. You owe me that….you owe it to my mother.”<br/><br/>A wind moved through the trees and the world seemed sadder for the bending of the trees. The dark giant with antlers shrank to a more human size and he came closer.<br/><br/>“Take this. Take it and become strong. I do not know who would risk much to depose me and mine but it smells of warm nights and soft roses. Seek out the Court of Summer. I cannot as I am bound only to interfere if directly insulted. Go and be well.”<br/><br/>Just like always, curt and to the point. No ""How have you been?"" or nothing. Yet, her hand reached out to the case and her fingertips burned with knowledge. She now had a weapon and she planned to use it. Her father may not realize he had indirectly set her as his hound. She fumed when she came to that conclusion just after leaving him. Used again but this time she would allow it. For now, she had someone to see. An appointment to keep.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Guest Starring:Payment Deferred</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The door read “Matt Wainwright, P.I.”. Morgayne couldn’t help but think this was something out of a movie scene. She had come back to New Orleans and showered and put on a sundress and heels. She let her damp hair dry naturally in cascading dark curls. A quick spritz of a ginger and cherry blossom perfume and she was out the door. The appointment was in the evening before she had to get to work. She wore enough tight clothing that even the low neckline on her dress was less revealing for a change.  <br/><br/>She entered, determined not to be swayed. Her cursory look around, gave her the feeling he didn’t really have a cleaning crew. Throwing a little charm into her smile and a sway into her step, she approached the man behind the desk. Her first impression was that he was missing a fedora. Instead of stopping in front of the desk she came around to the side and sat on the edge, crossing her legs just where he could get a good look at her long shapely calves and her already short dress hem rode up to peak at her upper thighs. <br/><br/>Normally she was only so blatant with her customers but from what she heard, PI’s weren’t cheap and she needed as much discount as her eyecandy could give. This was mild as things went as it were. She leaned in close and slid her fingertips under his loosened tie and smoothed it out. She put on a forelorn face with as much pouty lip as her shiny gloss would allow.<br/><br/>“Mr. Wainwright, I have a proposition for you. I really need to find someone and I heard you were the man for the job. Are you the man for the job,” she said with an inviting smile as she pulled on his tie and tightened it. If he agreed she would tell him her sob story and hope he could do it. Word in the Supernatural air was that Matt Wainwright wasn’t an ordinary PI and she needed extraordinary.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Guest Starring Redux: Here Be Angels</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> <br/>Morgayne had been following the big bald man for nearly a week. It didn’t take her long to figure out that the man worked for some nefarious characters but right now he was her target for slipping girls the mickey and putting them in compromising positions. Sometimes he left them for dead. He was not a nice man and in her book, not-nice men didn’t rate living. So here she was before he could take another victim. This time he was schmoozing up an innocent blond trying to hard to act the part of a seductress. The perfect bait for serial rapists. <br/><br/>He was just about to dump some roofies in her drink when his cell phone went of to the theme music from “The Godfather”. Seriously! Was this man that much of a cliché. How did the police not just get these guys on awful stereotypes, alone. His face was irritated but his voice was complicit. She knew he was talking to the boss. Curiosity peeked and she followed him. It was so easy to just bounce around in her Bud uniform. Even though it wasn’t her night, the girls were here and just thought she was getting overtime. <br/><br/>She slipped outside to a side street where she had glamoured up her crotch rocket and slipped on her leather jacket and a pair of jeans. She gave the bike a minute to warm up, the machine rumpling and purring between her legs before she kicked off and gave chase. She knew his car and kept him in sight with a tracker she had planted. Stopping about a block away in the warehouse district, she managed to keep track of him and watched him enter a warehouse owned by none other than the local baddie.  She slipped in the back and climbed her way up to a vantage point and strung the bow she had strapped to her bike. She pulled the handmade arrow and knocked it against the beautiful gilding and waited.<br/><br/>Morgayne was not expecting what unfolded. Apparently it was some kind of meeting between the three guys (one of them her perp) and a beautiful buxom blond. This one obviously had what the other chick lacked in the grace and beauty department and she rocked her heels like a good girl should. Baldy leered as the one in charge began to have one of those villain conversations where they try to get you to understand the necessity of things when all they were doing was inflating their egos. <br/><br/>Morgayne nearly yawned at the diatribe. Blah, blah, blah. Still, she could see the blond becoming uncomfortable. Then like every other dramatic mob movie, the fight began. At first, Morgayne watched in fascination as the woman held her own. The ass kicking she was dishing out was almost like in the movies except only more painful and a lot less dancy. Then the bossman did something underhanded and just like that the fight was now in the bad guys favor. Morgayne couldn’t let this woman become roadkill especially with the lascivious look Baldy was giving the blond as he checked his jaw from one of her kicks.<br/><br/>Morgayne drew back her arrow, the fletching tickling her cheek just beneath her eye as the man offered her something shiny. She sucked in a breath and let the world narrow to her target. As she let out her breath, the arrow flew true for she could not fail, not with Fail-Not as her trusty partner. The arrow sang through the air, its mark the man’s hand. Before she even heard the yelp of pain and ping of metal on concrete, she had another arrow knocked and its arrow found Baldy in the throat. She smiled as things began to explode.  She stood up like an avenging angel, her dark hair billowing thanks to an open warehouse window.  <br/><br/>“How do you like the odds now, shit for brains!” She yelled out triumphantly and then took a step forward as if she were going to fly but she just dropped the distance and landed lightly on her feet. Thanks, Dad, she thought mentally with a little sarcasm. She already had an arrow knocked and the bossman was yelling for his other henchman to get her. She knocked an arrow as he started for her.<br/><br/> “Ah-uh. Are you feeling lucky, punk?” She was no Dirty Harry but the guy did manage to stop. For every step forward, the man stepped back. His boss was scowling, clutching his hand. <br/><br/>“What’s the matter with you, she’s just a girl playing superhero. Get her!”<br/><br/>The man pulled out a gun and Morgayne made a face. Mexican standoff. She wondered if she should take the chance or run now while the going was good but the thing about her bow as that she had to be confidant and so far, Tristan’s bow had failed her not. (She was so not going to let that one get old. The gun fired and she pulled the best trick she ever. She sent her bow flying, her trust in her bow and jer skill high. The point of her arrow and the bullet met. As it exploded from impact her now burning arrow, sans its point kept on and hit the guy in the forehead setting his hair on fire.<br/><br/>“Yes!” she said, pumping her fist in the air. It was then that she realized the boss was now angry with glowing red points for eyes. This was not good, especially the dark special effects all over the place. She was wondering if she made a mistake pissing someone like him off and if she was even powerful enough to take him. She looked down at the fallen woman who was doing her best to rise.<br/><br/>Then suddenly he was there flashing fire and all. She thought she was an avenging angel but with the appearance of her favorite wizard, Sylvan, she knew the day was saved.  <br/></div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Skills<br/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td>Superb     </td><td>Guns, Fists</td></tr><tr><td>Great     </td><td>Athletics, Survival</td></tr><tr><td>Good     </td><td>Rapport, Charisma</td></tr><tr><td>Fair     </td><td>Deceit, Weapons</td></tr><tr><td>Average     </td><td>Lore, Discipline</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><hr/><br/>Glamours [–2]<br/>Inhuman Speed [-2]<br/>Way of the Bow [–1]<br/>Incite Emotion [-1]<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Item of Power – Tristan’s Bow Fail-Not</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Once upon a time there was a Knight of the round table.

She survived, and thrived, far longer than any normal fox ought to manage. She played, mated, raised many cubs and then when a normal fox might slow down and eventually wander off, the fox found herself still young and vital, truly marked or even blessed with an enduring spirit and the will to continue her existence.<br/><br/>She never ceased to find things that amazed her as she wandered the idyllic country side- the array of colors, all the different scents and sounds of the natural world around her. But it was after the storms or in the areas where man encroached where she found her first love- fire. She was always sniffing the wind, waiting for the rains to come, and the crackles and flashes of lightning, even dodging between them and then she could sit for hours and watch the world burn around her. It wasn't the safest place for the little fox, but she always found the way out, no matter how narrow it may be.<br/><br/>One day in her hundredth winter, the goddess Inari finally took notice of this extraordinary creature, and realized the potential that lie with her to become something so much more than she had been. She granted the red fox her second tail, along with a human form and her choice of magics to command. Of course she chose to channel the element of fire, and she took the name Kasaiko.</div></div><br/><br/>Rising Conflict: The Better Part of Valor<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Inari's Wrath</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The next few seasons were as wondrous as anything Kasaiko had ever experienced! It took her a little while to get used to her new form, learning activities such as walking, climbing and eating from her new vantage point. Even sex was different, but certainly no less enjoyable.<br/><br/>In fact, the only thing she enjoyed more than sex as a human woman was her new ability to channel the element of fire. It was such a rush to watch things burn, the flames themselves chaotic works of art that never ceased to amaze the two-tailed fox girl. It was a dangerous hobby, to be sure, and one which she knew was best indulged far away from where she could damage anything important.<br/><br/>One day, however, the goddess Inari asked Kasaiko to watch over a small copse of cherry trees. The fox girl agreed, of course, after all the goddess had done so much for her! She was almost like a mother and Kasaiko really did like pleasing her... almost as much as she liked to set things on fire. Just one tree, she thought to herself. She would pick the one in back, so small and unassuming, just barely beginning to bloom its bright pink blossoms. Maybe Inari wouldn't even notice... and so she set the tree ablaze, from smoldering roots soon grew a raging inferno, and Kasaiko sat transfixed, watching it burn.<br/><br/>But Inari did notice, and the goddess was understandably furious! That little runt of a tree had been her favorite, just as the little fox girl had been her favorite until just that moment. The next thing Kasaiko knew, the ground was shaking under her feet, the earth opening up beneath her. She had to run, faster than she had ever ran before! There was no reasoning with Inari, there was no begging forgiveness, she might as well have tried to ask the rain to stop falling, or the sun to stop rising and setting. Kasaiko had always been fleet, but she had to be quicker than ever if she was going to escape Inari's wrath.<br/><br/>The goddess chased her to the edge of the land, where Kasaiko spied a large freighter and quickly stowed herself aboard. The large vessel would take her far away from the land of the rising sun, to the shores of the United States of America, and more specifically to the city of New Orleans.</div></div><br/><br/><div class=""floatleft"">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3c/Kasaiko_human.jpg)</div><span class=""bbc_u"">Skills</span><br/><br/>Superb (+5): Survival<br/>Great (+4): Athletics, Discipline<br/>Good (+3): Conviction, Deceit<br/>Fair (+2): Alertness, Burglary, Stealth<br/>Average (+1): Empathy, Endurance, Fists, Lore, Rapport<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u"">Stunts and Powers</span><br/><br/>Shapeshifting- Beast change (1)<br/>Faerie Magic- Glamours- (2)<br/>Shapeshifting- Human Form (-1)<br/>Spellcraft- Channeling(Fire) (2)<br/>Rapport: Sex Appeal (1)<br/><br/>Refresh: 3"

She succeeds by means of treachery, charm and skills more than by brute force and combat, although she never shy from shedding blood when necessary. She prefers to work alone but she often associates with others for particularly periculous missions. In such case she is generally loyal to her companions, at least as long as the mission has a reasonable chance of success.<br/><br/><strong>Special note:</strong><br/>Having my character pleasured or sexually teased is an off for me. I shall interpret all toys-related statuses (""teased"", ""filled"", ""vibrating"" and ""stimulated"") as painful rather than pleasurable. This is just how I shall roleplay it. That does not affect game mechanics. Maybe it is because her vagina is permanently dry and very narrow."

She is often direct and quick to cut to the chase. Despite this, Lyra takes time to get the most out of a situation, good or bad. Somewhat unique in the standard pool of mercenaries due to an unorthodox style and weapon, her itchy trigger finger has had plenty of successful work.

(this);"" role=""button"">Real Name</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Stephanie Jasmine Milano</div></div><br/>High Concept: Assassin Chosen By God<br/>Trouble: The Past Never Forgets<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Background: Joan of Arc's Crucifix Pendant</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> People often hear the news about a serial killer and wonder how people can do such a thing.  The thing is, they're looking at it from their own perspective.  It can be so easy to stare at a life devoid of grime and wonder why other people aren't so clean and pure.<br/><br/>When evil all you know, the idea of living a good life doesn't even make any sense.  That's as true in Miami as it is in Seattle.<br/><br/>Stephanie Jasmine Milano was a lot of things, and none of them were very good, but the one that most people understand best is assassin.  Real life isn't like an action movie where people are trained from birth and can execute a person at 300 yards with a pistol, or come in through the vents, and Stephanie needed little more than a pretty face and basic understanding of firearms to get herself a degree of prestige in organized crime.<br/><br/>When she started out, it was simply as a spotter.  Working with a team, she'd follow a particular target, eventually backing away to allow someone else to take over.  Stealth isn't as easy as the movies, either, because anyone deliberately trying to be stealthy will immediately be noticed for a change in behavior.  It takes practice to walk without your footsteps making much noise, staying reasonably close to walls and staying fast enough to not be glimpsed for more than a moment or two.<br/><br/>Eventually, they gave her a gun and instructed her in its use, telling her to put a few bullets in the head of the target.  Once she did it, she really, truly belonged.  She found out about the Family, the secret group of assassins responsible for any number of deaths throughout the centuries.  Most of the jobs were in Miami, but a few of them required plane or train passage while she had an ironclad alibi back home.<br/><br/>A lot of great people worked in Los Angeles, and she misses quite a few of them.  Wheels, her driver, would pick her up even if it was three in the morning and she was too drunk to walk straight.  She never did find out his real name.  The Family accountant kept her inundated with enough money that she could buy a new dress each season, now represented just with her nest egg, a finite resources which should last her for a few more years if she keeps her expenses low.  God often provides in little ways, but there's no sense tempting Him by rushing through that money, and she knows that something will happen to help her by the time it's gone.<br/><br/>Once, it was a politician.  She doesn't remember which one, but she didn't have to kill him.  They were in the middle of having sex when she pulled a gun on him and told him, as she'd been instructed, that he'd have to honor his debts or he'd never feel safe again.  The pervert actually got even more turned on, though he promised to do the right thing.<br/><br/>There's just something about having a family that cares about you, even if that family isn't yours by blood.  How do you abandon the only people that know you even if they ask difficult things from you?  Even if you end up with nightmares?  If not for Gabriel Minaco, she might never have left.  Well, if not for the other man with him.<br/><br/>Back then, a target was just a target.  She knew habits, rituals, appearance, but nothing to actually make Gabriel any more than a corpse-to-be.  She didn't know his favorite color, or the sound of his laugh, or any of the other dozens of little things that would leave her desperate to understand the lives she snuffed out.<br/><br/>Gabriel was different only in that he was already dead when she got there.  Seated in his chair, he might well have only been asleep but for the recognition she held from someone who'd seen enough dead bodies to know the difference.  Standing over him was another man, immaculately dressed and offering her a smile.  ""Hello, Stephanie.""<br/><br/>Quick as lightning, her hands went up to snuff the witness.  The only thing to stop her was that he knew her name.  This had to be some sort of a setup.<br/><br/>""God still loves you, Stephanie.""  She hated him for that, for not being afraid of her, for his smug arrogance.  ""Aren't you tired of living like this?  Aren't you tired of the nightmares?""<br/><br/>At the time, she didn't know why she didn't shoot him.  Looking back, it only made sense that he was exactly right.  She did want a way out; she just didn't know it.  She would like to say that she felt something, then, but so much of those moments feel more like a dream.<br/><br/>The only proof she had that it happened was the crucifix pendant.  Belonging to Joan of Arc and passed down throughout history, it gives its bearer the ability to heal wounds that might otherwise cripple a person.  With all the damage she's taken over the years since, she's needed it.<br/></div></div><br/>Rising Conflict: Old Habits Die Hard<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Story ""Purchased"": The Devil Knows My Name</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Some people felt it was silly for a hitman to have an office, but Aston preferred the security.  It gave his life a sense of stability, allowed him to maintain a level of professionalism.  More importantly, he could sweep the place regularly for listening devices without concern, and use signal jammers and low-level white noise to throw off any other means of recording him.  The police were paid well enough not to care, and the IRS had more interest in payment of taxes than in what work is done, but one can't be too careful when the business is killing someone for money.<br/><br/>Caution was the first thing that burned through his mind when she walked in.  After all, in his experience, anything that required caution in Los Angeles walked in on crimson stiletto heels with too-tall legs and the kind of dress that looked like it was spraypainted onto her.  The burning scarlet of her lips, her hair, her smile full of promises all threatened to burn him if he wasn't careful.<br/><br/>""Theodore vouched for me, right?""  Her words were soft honey carried by the wings of angels, and it became harder and harder to figure out why he couldn't shake the feeling that he should run.<br/><br/>""Lucy.""  He gave a simple nod, deciding to at least hear her out for the time being.  It wouldn't be the first time that his overactive paranoia betrayed him, after all.  ""Did you bring a photo?""<br/><br/>With a coy smile, Lucy plucked a photograph from her purse, sliding it across the desk with scarlet fingernails so perfectly manicured.  Something about the soft wave of her hand made him wonder whether having those nails raking through his back would truly scorch him, and he didn't even see the face until his hand reflexively caught the picture.  ""Stephanie Jasmine Milano.""<br/><br/>Aston frowned as he looked at the photo.  Certainly he knew the name, just as he knew Stephanie.  Half the family knew her, one way or another.  Yet there she was in what was clearly New Orleans, despite that he knew that she'd always wanted to go there and never got the assignments.  ""She skipped out?""  Disgust filled his tone, one of the few emotions that raged past the distraction across from the desk.  ""She was one of the good ones.""<br/><br/>""Too good,"" Lucy mused.  ""You'll most likely kill her, but if you can't, I'd like you to give her something for me.""<br/><br/>Ready this time, Aston caught the blackened piece of silver, looking it over curiously.<br/></div></div><br/>Guest Starring [Sylvan]: Not Just A Pretty Face<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Guest Starring Redux (Matt): God Is My Judge</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Crashes have a habit of drawing attention, except in bad neighborhoods.  In many places, people either want to help or simply to observe what was going on.  All too often, though, people will turn their backs and leave others to their own devices, or even believe that they've done a good turn if they bother to call an ambulance.<br/><br/>Grace remembered those days vividly.  Some parts of her old life carried a strong temptation to come back, but the helplessness, the disdain, the belief that everyone was in it for themselves and that she had to fight for every inch of her existence alone was a quiet horror that she would never miss.<br/><br/>She hadn't been alone even then, but knowing it and feeling it were entirely different things.  The path she walked had been ordained to ensure she was in the right place at the right time, exactly where she needed to be.<br/><br/>At the moment, that path involved seeing a Red Court Infected whose tattoos were showing, beating on a human who no doubt deserved to be pummeled within an inch of his life.  She tried letting the noise of cocking the Desert Eagle speak for her, but when that didn't suffice, spoke a single word, ""Enough.""<br/><br/>""And he doesn't deserve this?""  Barely-bridled rage spat at Grace from the Infected, but she let it slide.  Matt had already done so much for her that she could hardly expect him to be perfect.  Everyone had something to deal with, and he'd already proven he was stronger than she could ever be.  Then again, he had to be.<br/><br/>""I can take care of that.""  She aimed the iron sights of her weapon just under his throat.  The recoil would catch the weapon when she fired, but she knew all too well how to take recoil into account, and the bullet would go through his forehead.  ""I don't really think you want to see it when it happens.""<br/><br/>Matt nodded, and released the man, who was frozen with terror.  Stephanie, Grace, didn't really try to be intimidating.  She just knew who she was, what she was, and what she had to do.  ""May God forgive you,"" she said...<br/><br/>...and nothing.<br/><br/>The Bible describes Abraham's stopping his sacrifice of Isaac when an angel called out, but it wasn't what it felt like.  Her arm almost seemed to freeze, as if someone had grabbed her wrist.  At that moment, she couldn't fire any more than she could fly.<br/><br/>It wasn't the first time, but with Matt's certainty, she hadn't expected it.  Then again, in her darker nights, it seemed ridiculous that she should be sent out upon her task without much guidance.<br/><br/>Still, her duty wasn't complete.  ""I trust you know where you need to deliver the girl you kidnapped?"" she asked.<br/><br/>Silently quivering, he nodded.<br/><br/>""That one is spoken for.  You'll just have to bring me along instead.""<br/></div></div><br/><hr/><br/>Skills<br/><table

He grew up to a family of cops, and knew what he would do with his life all his childhood. When your grandfather was a cop, your dad is a cop, and your elder brother is a State Officer, your path is set. Join the force. Entering the Academy was his proudest Moment. Made his father smile. He got hired by the NOPD, like his father and his Grandfather, and served on the force for a few years. He did his time as a traffic cop, but always had his eyes on the detective job. He was always looking for the chance to move up in the world...<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Rising Conflict: Lady Luck is a Bitch</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">A year in, he got called on a suspected human trafficking ring. His big chance he hoped. He was right... but not in the way he thought. It certainly wasn't the job he dreamed of, breaking down doors, collaring perps. He was just there to watch a window. Make sure no one ran. But the bust wasn't going to go as planned. Nobody was trafficking the humans in there. They were there as Vampire feed. And the red court doesn't run from the law. Matt was one of the... lucky ones. If you can call it that. He got knocked out early. Best guess was that the Red Court wanted a Mole in the NOPD. He got infected, but not killed. Before he was turned, the Fellowship hit the Red Court compound he was at, and hard. Not to save him, of course. He was lucky, again. The Fellowship offered him a choice. Come with them, and learn to control the monster inside him. Or turn into a vampire when he inevitable lost control. It was an easy choice.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Story: Consumed</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Aspect: Nothing's ever straightforward in this town<br/>Matt first got the news from the Newspaper. Back pages, only a couple of paragraphs. Girls were vanishing from the neighborhoods. Young, minority. Plenty of opinions. The force assumed they were runaways. Easy answer, meant less work. The Supernatural Community just thought they were part of the background noise. But Matt's Gut said otherwise. He took to hanging out in a few condemned buildings, around where the girls were vanishing. It took a few days... but finally he saw it. Pretty girl, 17, looked Hispanic. A car drove by and just... grabbed her. Out of nowhere. Pulled out. Nice car to. Matt had to jump out a window to catch it as it came around a corner, slamming into the top of it. He shot one of the goons inside before the car slammed into the wall. Didn't kill him, but blew a hole in his stomach. The second one opened fire on Matt, and ran. Few Bullets hit Matt. Hurt, but mostly they just slowed him down. Second Goon made it away, as Matt secured the first, and dug himself out of the roof of the car. The girl was out... a crash and a gunfight not waking her up. Chloroform. He interrogated the other guard. Got the whole story. This wasn't the Red Court at all. A Raith was in town. White Court, Lust feeder. He Demanded only the loveliest girls. And now he knew that Matt had stolen one, killed his goons, and likely knew he was behind the disappearances. Fuck.<br/><br/>Guest Stars: Grace</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Guest Starring: Addicted</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Aspect: Scars Heal, but the memory of a pretty woman never fades<br/>Matt was waiting in New Orleans for Sylvan. The Order had heard his request for help, and decided that freeing a Wizard was a feather in their cap. Matt was sent, because he knew New Orleans. He'd already scouted out the likely holding site (Planes were faster then Trains. Especially ones that stopped in the Desert for fights.) It wasn't hard. The Red Court owned a few front businesses. The masses of guards outside the most fortified one were a clue. He didn't ask who Grace was, when he met them at Train Station. He just laid out his plan. He'd grab the Vampires attention in a flashy Fashion. Michelle would be located on the top floor. Sylvan would have to move fast. Matt explained most of this in the Van. The last thing he said was ""Wait for the signal, then go in through the Fire Door. It is blocked... but you have a key, I assume."" Matt waggled his fingers. ""Hit it while the signal is still distracting them. When you are clear, let off a green flare. I will meet you at the bus station.""  The question, what signal should they expect, got a laugh. ""Oh... the sound of a Van slamming through the front doors, then detonating as a massive amount of C4 goes up."" Matt drove off with that... leaving Grace and Sylvan to worry. And then likely stagger back as Matt provided what he promised. Given the size of that noise, Sylvan had plenty of cover to blow the Fire Door off. Every alarm in the place was going off already, and Sylvan and Grace could hear shouting as the Guards rushed to deal with whatever the hell Matt had done. This left Sylvan and Grace alone as the raced up the Fire Stairs, and to the top. There, a minor pitched Battle with two lesser Vampires held them back... but they soon handled that, smashing down the door... revealing Michelle... wearing... nothing... as an exquisite dark haired woman licked and suckled at a small cut in her neck... wearing remarkably little herself. She screamed as Grace entered... the woman's holy presence stripping away the flesh mask to reveal the horror within. She pounced at the two... but Sylvan slammed her back into the wall with a blast of wind, before attempting to burn her with a gout of lightning, anger over his cousin lending him strength. But Guadalupe Marietta, Red Court Vampire, was not so easy. She hadn't been ready... so she retreated... leaping out a nearby window in a shower of glass. Sylvan wanted to chase her... but Michelle grabbed his feet. ""Nooooo... Syl... I love her..."" The woman's pupils were dialated... drugged to the gills. No way she could get out of here on her own. Chasing Guadalupe meant abandoing Michelle... and from the sound of it, Matt as well. The Infected could be heard fighting still... from the sound of it, he had an automatic weapon, and the Guards were returning fire with pistols mostly. Still, enough of them would eventually kill them. They ran, carrying the weeping Michelle... out the same way. By now the cops were arriving. Sylvan and Grace managed to get Michelle back to the Train Station... after Sylvan gave her his coat, of course. Matt appeared just before their train out of town. He was wearing a heavy coat, and large hat, keeping his face in shadow. The reason why was obvious. He was covered in blood, and had a few nasty... well. Bullet holes. ""I'll be fine. Get on the train, and get the hell off at the next station. A car will be waiting in the parking lot. Furthest stall from the station. Here are the keys. Keep moving, and don't stop till its safe, and don't use the ways."" With that... he vanished. Leaving Grace to say her goodbyes... and Sylvan and the addicted Michelle to face the long ride.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Guest Starring: Payment Deferred</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Aspect: I can't do it all. But what I can't, my friends can.<br/><br/>Matt had been sitting in his office when she strolled in. Dark Haired, leggy... beautiful beyond belief. Forget about the face that launched a thousand ships, she could do it with a flash of her thigh. Then there was other part of him. That long smooth neck, part of him want to leap on it... rip that alabaster skin, and lap up what came out. Hunger and Lust, they drew each other out in his experience. And both baser parts of him wanted her. Just in different ways. His mind still had the casting vote though, and thus he mad no move, looking at her.<br/>Matt was smart enough to know what her presence here meant. Beautiful women didn't come to PI's for anything good. Best case scenario, her husband was messing around, getting a little on the side of his trophy wife. And getting proof meant tangling with some nasty men in black suits. And it could get worse. A lot worse. If he was smart, he'd decline her right here and now. But Matt was never smart in these times. Because, truth was, his brain might have the casting vote... but it liked seeing a beauty as much as the rest of him. And so Matt listened. He got her story... all of it, eventually. And Matt found he was in the presence of Royalty, as it were.<br/>""Well Princess, I'd love to say you came to the right man. But I'm not.""<br/>He held up his hand, to forestall any complaints.<br/>""However, I'm the man who knows the right man. As far as my price... well, I'd love to say a kiss, but kisses don't cover expenses."" He ave her a wink... and considered what price he could give. It was about then that the window of his office blew in, throwing both of them against the wall... and if not for Morgayne's reflexes, likely her through it, given the way the the desk slammed into where she had been a moment ago. Outside, a... woman stood. Beautiful... but dark. Thorns wrapped her arms. However, Matt wasn't dumb, and wasn't going to hold back because a Faerie had a nice rack.<br/>""To be determined.""<br/>Matt got out, pulling his massive handgun out from his coat.<br/>""Unfortunately, I don't have much in the way of Steel rounds, so we are going to have to do this the other way.""<br/>""What way.""<br/>""The one where we run like hell.""<br/>Matt grunted, and fired a few rounds at the creature. While not iron, they were big enough that shrugging them off was gonna take a lot. The woman outside shielded herself with the Thorns... but Matt and Morgayne were off and running. Elsewhere, cop cars were heard. New Orleans or not, this was gonna get the cops notice. Matt was counting on that. He didn't have many dealings with the Faerie, but he did know they shared something in common with a lot of supernatural creatures. Modern Society weirded them out. Police, cars, telephones... things were loud, and fast, and hard to understand. Many of them, when it came to it, would flee rather then deal with the problems... return at their own time.<br/>That was what Matt was counting on. That, and the fact that his home was the next room over... which meant went he shoved Morgayne through the door, A. she saw the mess of dirty dishes from last night, and B. they were behind a threshold... if not a strong one. ""Out the back, and follow me.""<br/>Matt and Morgayne fled through his door, the woman screeching her displeasure, trashing Matt's office, then vanishing into the faerie as the police arrived. ""Friend of yours? Cousin?"" Morgayne's look of annoyance shut Matt up, and he lead her to the friend he'd mentioned... Sylvan Leblanc. Journalist, writer, and, most relevantly. Wizard. Meaning a man who could access the Faerie, and a member of the White Council, and signatory to the accords.</div></div><hr/><br/>Skills<br/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td>Superb     </td><td>Guns</td></tr><tr><td>Great     </td><td>Craftsmanship, Athletics</td></tr><tr><td>Good     </td><td>Endurance, Discipline</td></tr><tr><td>Fair     </td><td>Burglary, Stealth, Alertness</td></tr><tr><td>Average     </td><td>Driving, Resources, Lore, Deceit, Intimidation</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><hr/><br/>Addictive Saliva [-1]<br/>Blood Drinker [-1]<br/>Feeding Dependence [+1]<br/>Inhuman Recovery [-2]<br/>Inhuman Toughness [-2]<br/>Catch: Holy Stuff [+1 Discount]<br/>Tattoo's of St. Giles [-2]<br/>Demolitions Training [-1]<br/>Cloak of Shadows [-1]<br/><br/>Refresh 1<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Desert Eagle - Weapon:3<br/>M1911 - Weapon: 2 - Former Police Issued Firearm<br/>Dragunov Sniper Rifle - Weapon: 3 - The closest thing to a pension/retirement gift he got from the Fellowship."

This is still in progress for the Guest Stars and if you see a flaw let me know. *her first time reading the RP book rules*<br/><br/><div class=""floatright"">(http://imagenesfotos.com/wp-content/2012/11/jackeline-cardona.jpg)</div><br/>Morgayne Erlich<br/><br/>High Concept: Daughter of the Hunt<br/>Trouble: Daddy Issues<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Background:A Starry Summer</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Morgayne’s childhood was not always a good one. She could never understand why her mother was always so protective of her. She was brought up in pagan traditions and each year at Beltane she and her mother would drive out to a forest near hours from their home and spend the day in a copse of trees. Her mother would teach her many things and it was a pretty place. The standing trees in the glen they spent time seemed to have many different trees. Almost in a circle was Oak, Ash, Apple, Hazel. Alder. Elder, and Yew. She would play for hours in the glen and not once did she leave the shelter of the trees due to her mother’s warning not to stray.<br/><br/>One particular day, she chased a bunny past the Yew tree and before she realized it, she was lost. She came upon a young boy with a wide smile and a cheerful way about him. They played together and as time passed he taught her how to live in the forest and move with the stars. He showed her how to make a bow and hunt to feed. He even taught her how to creep upon even the most alert animal. Unbeknownst to little Morgayne, days and nights had passed. Finally she asked about her mother and how she was waiting for her. The by, whom she knew as Puck, only shook his head and smiled. But that smile soon faded and they raced back to the glen only to find her mother hacking away at the Elder tree with a cold iron axe screaming, “Give her back!” Puck turned into a great big scary man with antlers and Morgayne was afraid.<br/><br/>“Hold your hand, woman! She is returned.”<br/><br/>“You promised!”<br/><br/>“I only promised to not keep her from you. My daughter will choose one day and nothing can keep her from her destiny.”<br/>Her mother dragged her from there in angry denial and it was only later that she learned her true nature and that she had spent not a day and night with Puck but three months. She also found out he was her father in the form of a child.<br/><br/>It was hard enough to find out that her father was the ErlKing. A powerful Wylde Fae. Soon it didn’t matter and she grew to resent him. Her mother, already over protective became unbearable but Morgayne could do nothing but watch her mother make herself sick. Finally after three years her mother died suddenly in a car accident. Morgayne was left on her own. She ended up in many foster homes but kept fighting and because of her heritage she was faster and stronger so it became an issue. She dreamed of her father coming to rescue her but he never came.<br/><br/>Finally at fourteen she ended up on the streets before being picked up by the authorities. This time she lucked out and ended up with an elderly man who fostered her. With two others, Marco and Jeanette, she learned a mixture of parkour and martial arts. She excelled in her studies and graduated high school. Through it all, she ate up anything she found out about her father and the fae but even that became a dormant part of her life as time passed. She was once more happy.<br/><br/>It was on the incident of her eighteenth birthday that she realized she couldn’t stay. Normal people weren’t supposed to know about the Supernatural but it had invaded her home and killed those she loved. Whether it was one of the Queens, the Others, or her father she didn’t care. She blames the ErlKing for making her a part of that world. She doesn’t talk about it. She only survived because a kindly wizard had come to her rescue and pointed her to neutral ground. She moved to New Orleans where she reluctantly took on the job of a Budweiser girl, dishing out charm and beer on the seedy bar scene.<br/>Neutral territory and part of the covenant New Orleans may be, but it was rife with the Supernatural. This is where her story truly begins.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Rising Conflict: To Be or not to Be</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The train ride back to New Orleans was a thoughtful one for Morgayne. It seemed her life would become nothing but tears and bloodshed without any normalcy. What she wouldn’t give to be just human, ignorant and blissful living a mundane life. She sighed heavily as she sank deeper into her chair watching the blur of scenery. A week ago she was laughing with Tiffany and now she plotting vengeance for the poor girl’s murder. She could still see the grisly crime scene in her mind. The poor girl was given no quarter. <br/><br/>She pushed the thoughts of her dead friend away and mulled over more recent events. Leaning against the seat beside her was a long slender case. She could feel its vibrations even if no one else could. It was tied to her now and once more she was on the path she had once long ago stepped away from. Once more she was in her father’s shadow. She thought deeply of the conversation in that glen with the trees standing like sentinels. What transpired made her shiver inwardly.<br/><br/>“You owe me something for the pain you caused me. For not caring!”<br/><br/>“I cared dearly for you. I stayed away.”<br/><br/>“You abandoned me!” She had screamed those words at him and felt a well of satisfaction to see him flinch.<br/><br/>“I kept you safe. You are not strong enough to face the Fae alone. You would if you would only choose,” he replied, his words holding an underlying menace despite his fatherly tones.<br/><br/>“And what? Look like a creepy goblin. You are King of Death and Shadows. You have no feeling. Maeb has more love in her heart of ice than you.”<br/><br/>“’Ware child, lest you draw her attention. What is to say you would not keep your form as you are. You would come into much power.” His tone became tinged with irritation and the world began to darken, the trees seeming to become more gnarled.<br/><br/>“I don’t care! My friend is dead because YOU are my father. How will I protect myself or anyone else for that matter? You want me, well give me something I can use. You owe me that….you owe it to my mother.”<br/><br/>A wind moved through the trees and the world seemed sadder for the bending of the trees. The dark giant with antlers shrank to a more human size and he came closer.<br/><br/>“Take this. Take it and become strong. I do not know who would risk much to depose me and mine but it smells of warm nights and soft roses. Seek out the Court of Summer. I cannot as I am bound only to interfere if directly insulted. Go and be well.”<br/><br/>Just like always, curt and to the point. No ""How have you been?"" or nothing. Yet, her hand reached out to the case and her fingertips burned with knowledge. She now had a weapon and she planned to use it. Her father may not realize he had indirectly set her as his hound. She fumed when she came to that conclusion just after leaving him. Used again but this time she would allow it. For now, she had someone to see. An appointment to keep.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Guest Starring:Payment Deferred</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">The door read “Matt Wainwright, P.I.”. Morgayne couldn’t help but think this was something out of a movie scene. She had come back to New Orleans and showered and put on a sundress and heels. She let her damp hair dry naturally in cascading dark curls. A quick spritz of a ginger and cherry blossom perfume and she was out the door. The appointment was in the evening before she had to get to work. She wore enough tight clothing that even the low neckline on her dress was less revealing for a change.  <br/><br/>She entered, determined not to be swayed. Her cursory look around, gave her the feeling he didn’t really have a cleaning crew. Throwing a little charm into her smile and a sway into her step, she approached the man behind the desk. Her first impression was that he was missing a fedora. Instead of stopping in front of the desk she came around to the side and sat on the edge, crossing her legs just where he could get a good look at her long shapely calves and her already short dress hem rode up to peak at her upper thighs. <br/><br/>Normally she was only so blatant with her customers but from what she heard, PI’s weren’t cheap and she needed as much discount as her eyecandy could give. This was mild as things went as it were. She leaned in close and slid her fingertips under his loosened tie and smoothed it out. She put on a forelorn face with as much pouty lip as her shiny gloss would allow.<br/><br/>“Mr. Wainwright, I have a proposition for you. I really need to find someone and I heard you were the man for the job. Are you the man for the job,” she said with an inviting smile as she pulled on his tie and tightened it. If he agreed she would tell him her sob story and hope he could do it. Word in the Supernatural air was that Matt Wainwright wasn’t an ordinary PI and she needed extraordinary.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Guest Starring Redux: Here Be Angels</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> <br/>Morgayne had been following the big bald man for nearly a week. It didn’t take her long to figure out that the man worked for some nefarious characters but right now he was her target for slipping girls the mickey and putting them in compromising positions. Sometimes he left them for dead. He was not a nice man and in her book, not-nice men didn’t rate living. So here she was before he could take another victim. This time he was schmoozing up an innocent blond trying to hard to act the part of a seductress. The perfect bait for serial rapists. <br/><br/>He was just about to dump some roofies in her drink when his cell phone went of to the theme music from “The Godfather”. Seriously! Was this man that much of a cliché. How did the police not just get these guys on awful stereotypes, alone. His face was irritated but his voice was complicit. She knew he was talking to the boss. Curiosity peeked and she followed him. It was so easy to just bounce around in her Bud uniform. Even though it wasn’t her night, the girls were here and just thought she was getting overtime. <br/><br/>She slipped outside to a side street where she had glamoured up her crotch rocket and slipped on her leather jacket and a pair of jeans. She gave the bike a minute to warm up, the machine rumpling and purring between her legs before she kicked off and gave chase. She knew his car and kept him in sight with a tracker she had planted. Stopping about a block away in the warehouse district, she managed to keep track of him and watched him enter a warehouse owned by none other than the local baddie.  She slipped in the back and climbed her way up to a vantage point and strung the bow she had strapped to her bike. She pulled the handmade arrow and knocked it against the beautiful gilding and waited.<br/><br/>Morgayne was not expecting what unfolded. Apparently it was some kind of meeting between the three guys (one of them her perp) and a beautiful buxom blond. This one obviously had what the other chick lacked in the grace and beauty department and she rocked her heels like a good girl should. Baldy leered as the one in charge began to have one of those villain conversations where they try to get you to understand the necessity of things when all they were doing was inflating their egos. <br/><br/>Morgayne nearly yawned at the diatribe. Blah, blah, blah. Still, she could see the blond becoming uncomfortable. Then like every other dramatic mob movie, the fight began. At first, Morgayne watched in fascination as the woman held her own. The ass kicking she was dishing out was almost like in the movies except only more painful and a lot less dancy. Then the bossman did something underhanded and just like that the fight was now in the bad guys favor. Morgayne couldn’t let this woman become roadkill especially with the lascivious look Baldy was giving the blond as he checked his jaw from one of her kicks.<br/><br/>Morgayne drew back her arrow, the fletching tickling her cheek just beneath her eye as the man offered her something shiny. She sucked in a breath and let the world narrow to her target. As she let out her breath, the arrow flew true for she could not fail, not with Fail-Not as her trusty partner. The arrow sang through the air, its mark the man’s hand. Before she even heard the yelp of pain and ping of metal on concrete, she had another arrow knocked and its arrow found Baldy in the throat. She smiled as things began to explode.  She stood up like an avenging angel, her dark hair billowing thanks to an open warehouse window.  <br/><br/>“How do you like the odds now, shit for brains!” She yelled out triumphantly and then took a step forward as if she were going to fly but she just dropped the distance and landed lightly on her feet. Thanks, Dad, she thought mentally with a little sarcasm. She already had an arrow knocked and the bossman was yelling for his other henchman to get her. She knocked an arrow as he started for her.<br/><br/> “Ah-uh. Are you feeling lucky, punk?” She was no Dirty Harry but the guy did manage to stop. For every step forward, the man stepped back. His boss was scowling, clutching his hand. <br/><br/>“What’s the matter with you, she’s just a girl playing superhero. Get her!”<br/><br/>The man pulled out a gun and Morgayne made a face. Mexican standoff. She wondered if she should take the chance or run now while the going was good but the thing about her bow as that she had to be confidant and so far, Tristan’s bow had failed her not. (She was so not going to let that one get old. The gun fired and she pulled the best trick she ever. She sent her bow flying, her trust in her bow and jer skill high. The point of her arrow and the bullet met. As it exploded from impact her now burning arrow, sans its point kept on and hit the guy in the forehead setting his hair on fire.<br/><br/>“Yes!” she said, pumping her fist in the air. It was then that she realized the boss was now angry with glowing red points for eyes. This was not good, especially the dark special effects all over the place. She was wondering if she made a mistake pissing someone like him off and if she was even powerful enough to take him. She looked down at the fallen woman who was doing her best to rise.<br/><br/>Then suddenly he was there flashing fire and all. She thought she was an avenging angel but with the appearance of her favorite wizard, Sylvan, she knew the day was saved.  <br/></div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Skills<br/><table class=""bbc_table""><tbody><tr><td>Superb     </td><td>Guns, Fists</td></tr><tr><td>Great     </td><td>Athletics, Survival</td></tr><tr><td>Good     </td><td>Rapport, Charisma</td></tr><tr><td>Fair     </td><td>Deceit, Weapons</td></tr><tr><td>Average     </td><td>Lore, Discipline</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><hr/><br/>Glamours [–2]<br/>Inhuman Speed [-2]<br/>Way of the Bow [–1]<br/>Incite Emotion [-1]<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Item of Power – Tristan’s Bow Fail-Not</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Once upon a time there was a Knight of the round table.

She reached for a weapon but realized that she hadn’t brought any. She didn’t think that she was still a target and now she was riding a taxi…back home? She recognized the French Quarter but soon realized that it was the nicer upper crust portion.  She sat next to the thoughtful Matt and wondered if he was angry about his windows but then he seemed to be taking it in stride as if it happened all the time. Maybe that was going to be her life now. The unusual no longer disturbing.<br/><br/>They steeped out in front of a gorgeous nineteenth century home that reeked of old money. She shook her head, her dark locks moving sensually along her bare shoulder. “Your friend is loaded. Are you sure he will help.”<br/><br/>“If I know, Sylvan, he’ll help.”<br/><br/>“Sylvan?” She questioned just as the door opened. She barely heard his greeting as it was the man who had come to her rescue not so long ago and here he lived down the street practically. As the two men shook hands and did the one handed man hug. When she got over the shock she flung herself into Sylvan’s arms and nearly cried, she was so happy to see him. He patted her back in the hug a bit embarrassed but just as glad to see her well.<br/><br/>He invited them inside and as they sat in a charmingly furnished parlor, Matt explained what happened, Morgayne jumping in when needed. When their tale was done, the expression of the men were serious.<br/><br/>“I think I have seen that woman before…I mean, I think she was there when Tiffany was killed. The place was trashed and there were thorny vines everywhere. I remember it smelling like roses. And…and,” she started, holding back a sob as she remembered the aftermath. “I think the coroner said her skin was flayed by a thorny whip or something. That’s what my buddy down at the morgue said. I made him tell me.”<br/><br/>They were all quiet for a moment when Sylvan suddenly stood up with a smile on his full lips. “I think we have a trip to the Nevernever to plan, eh, cher?”<br/><br/>During the hug, Sylvan had quietly thanked his grandmother for locating this young woman and sending him to aid her.  He'd discovered more than once in the last four years that there was nothing quite as fulfilling as being able to help a beautiful girl.<br/><br/>Sylvan placed a hand over the beautiful sienna skinned girl's and gave her a confident, encouraging smile.  He normaly focused on a person's nose where someone who wasn't a wizard would look them in the eyes.  IN this case, his eyes kept dropping to her lips.      “You've come to the right people,<em>ma petie.</em>The three of us together have got this covered.”<br/><br/>The house really was old school, from vintage—if well lived in—furniture to gas lights.  Sylvan pulled a magnet off of a 40 year old refrigerator and tossed it to Matt.  It gave the number of a local pizzeria.  “Order us three Meat Lover's and a supreme.  Tell Peter there's an extra 50 for him to get it here in 25 minutes.”<br/><br/>He turned back to Morgayne.  “Did you get anything from the murderer?  A piece of vine or thorn?  Splatter of blood, lock of hair?”<br/><br/>She pushed back her hair flustered and her fingers snagged on something. She gently pulled a twist of vine from her hair. She was't sure how it got there but then anything could have happened in the mash up at Matt's office. She handed it to Sylvan. ""Will this do?""<br/><br/>“Oh, yes,” the young wizard replied with a grin.  “That's perfect.”<br/><br/>Over the next twenty minutes, Sylvan set up a variety of ritual tools.  He polished up a silver line in the doorway from his house proper to the solarium, and set up some incense burners.  In his workshop, he suspended a crystal pendant over a copper bowl.  In here he prepared a variety of herbs and powders, then left it.  When the pizza arrived he shared out the supreme, munching on a big slice as he threw some different incense a burner and lit the hawthorn coals.  “Fanchesca, Vim,” he chanted softly, then switched to greek and began a poetic chant that lasted a few minutes.<br/><br/>Then he left the incense burning and two boxes of pizza on the table with it.<br/><br/>He moved back to the copper bowl and cut the vine into three.  One piece he then tossed into the bowl.  He spent several minutes working with it, reciting Greek poetry and burning virgin candles.  The smoke drifted up to the pendant, infusing the clear quartz 'til it was smoky.<br/><br/>By the time he was done, two little fey—one looking suspiciously like Dobbie the House Elf with a better fashion sense, the other a foot tall, black skinned girl in a tiger mask.  “Thanks for coming.”<br/><br/>They exchanged brief pleasantries, clearly old friends, and Sylvan put down one of the vines.  “I'm thinking this is from Brielle?”<br/><br/>The black girl nodded solemnly while Vim winced, “Why can't you just call us over for healing kittens and stealing panties anymore, Sylvan?”<br/><br/>He sighed, “I'll try not to get you into trouble, Vim, but what's she up too.   The police are getting jumpy.  We're all going to be in a whole world of hurt if people from the Nevernever keep attacking mortals in broad daylight.”<br/><br/>They two looked around nervously, then Vim nodded.  The black girl gestured for Sylvan to bend down and then whispered something Sylvan would only relate to her after this was through, “It's said Brielle has a new lover—no one knows who—but she's been doing his dirty work for a while now.”<br/><br/>A few minutes later, Sylvan brought them each a steel blade—just a dagger tucked into his boot for himself, he preferred his blasting rod—and intoned a soft droning chant—this time it sounded more like Gaelic.<br/><br/>The threshold form the solarium to the house glimmered, then liquid silver flowed up and between.  With the last pizza in one hand and his wand in the other, Sylvan lead them through.<br/><br/>On the other side...<br/><br/>They followed Sylvan's pendent across the fantastic landscape.  A few slices of pizza bribed minor hobs and elves to stay out of their way.  Finally they reached a fairytale villa surrounded by an unbroken hedge of brambles.  Silvan intoned angry words in Greek and the hedge immediately in front of them shriveled away to dust, leaving a ball of water hovering in the air before him.  This he hurtled into the chest of a minor ogre in ivory mail, sending him flying.<br/><br/>With three more to get through to reach the house, the fight was on.  Bullets barked, arrows streaked, and lightning flew.  Silver blades swiped and slashed, but the ogres proved a minor threat compared to the full wrath of Brielle.  Rose brambles entangled them, thorns sprayed through the air.  For several minutes the furious fae held all three of them at a standstill.  Finally the three got a rhythm, though.  Sylvan struck bushes down with lighting to protect the others.  Morgaine wounded Brielle with arrows long enough for Matt to tackle her.  Though her own body sprouted thorns deep into his body, Matt managed to hold her long enough for Morgaine to drive an iron blade into her heart.<br/>"

The small section of its residing not heavily touched since the 60's and not heavily gone to since the 80's once martial arts took another huge popularity launch in movies. Sadly small city clean dojo in outlets in flat areas near more clusters of places one could go to directly after on another in one space had taken all of the business on that behalf. A bus stop a block or so from those wishing to buy charms and purchase small gifts. Outside of that, it has not had much popularity and barely manages to stay open. It is owned by an elderly woman named Hitomi who's husband used to teach martial arts til his unfortunate death  7 years ago. Unable to teach however for closer to the past 15 or more arguably.<br/><br/>The dojo has a moderate sized backyard and garden full of herbs and a small pond filled with fish and a small wooden house for Hitomi's teacup pig that appears to nearly go unused as it is constantly tagging along behind her like a child ironically named "" Diaochan "" after one of the four ancient Chinese beauties the elderly woman had received a book on in her high-school years.  The woman is very protective of her pig and minds her own business though is welcoming. The pure black child-like creature is however very troublesome and doesn't always like company so is constantly tagging behind its ""mother""  if not giving angry squeels and head-butting the door open and moving it with its snout to leave. The dojo has a small tea room for lunch and more on the side if the guest wish to have a table though most who visit, which are extremely few to none in number often eat their snacks in the same space they train."

The sliding doors in the back open to the garden setting a view and allowing the radiance to illuminate most of the shadowy dark woods that ornamented the room. Lush and full greenery in the back with a light sound of sloshing water in the nearby pond outdoors. An oasis of peace and tranquility if there were such a thing. Emerald colored leaves carried by slow moving gusts  now and again through the surprising warmth of the spring that had come.<br/><br/>Eden had arrived earlier than the rest, much sooner in fact. The assumption by a certain guardian due to his normal tardiness had given him an earlier time to be there than the rest since they had found the normally empty training area. However given he was actually on time he had come early for once. Leaving him time to be bored an inamused on his own. Sitting upon the wooden floors, blue eyes almost sad looking with that submissive tilt of his brows. Staring in the distance to the outside, his frosty hues holding the prismatic reflections of the surroundings outdoors. Cheeks puffed out in a childish guppy-like fashion as he consistantly checked the neon orange transformation scout-cuff upon his right wrist for the time. The time it had taken him to get there by bike, it would have been pointless having only 30 minutes at best to deal with before rushing back, it would have been stupid not to wait that little extra over an hour only to be possibly late upon his return.  Venus lifted a single hand, stroking it through his blonde locks. Fingers ruffling the tousled platinum hair, a recent addition of a sky-blue tinge added to the tips of his hair in the front of his messy fashionable lemon-cream colored fringe as he rose up. Looking side to side trying to find something to do and amuse himself. Having told the lady of the dojo he had been expecting friends, at this rate she had probably doubted that. Giving a groan at the boredom of what to do in the heat.<br/><br/>The uppity scout folded his arms behind his head,  Eden's body a bit more sculpted than expected, but nothing to really brag about in comparison to some of his fellow scouts if any of them.  His bare torso sun-kissed from the almost summer-like weather they had been experiencing.  A pair of black goggles with yellow lenses hanging about his neck from his bike ride over. Neon orange running work-out pants made of an almost lycra-esque material without any shimmer.  The snug skin-tight pants hanging low on his hips. Showing off the contour of his Adonis belt. A black name brand stamp on his right lower hip of them, a black stripe going down each leg and a navy blue jock-strap able to easily be seen. The strap pushing up and out a decent amount of his untanned butt-cleavage to peek out the top of his pants in the back. The ample amount of flesh glossy as were the rest of his body. Glistening in a light amount of sweat, glittering as it beaded down his sporty abs he had been working on. Their definition not the best but enough to say they were more than noticeable on a sporty and lean boy like himself. As he bounced to his feet. Messing with the orange gauge in his right ear before looking to his bag beside him.  Pouting his lips to the side and shrugging.<br/><br/>Figuring he'd eat lunch before the others had shown up he opened the bag next to his bag of clothes he had worn on the way there before flopping on his stomach near the edge of the back of the dojo to look at the outside.  A six inch chicken sub, a Sunkist drink and a bag of Cheetohs sorted out in front of him that he had gotten on the way.  Immediately popping open his drink and starting. Giving a happy sigh of relief through his stuffed mouth at his first bite. Appearing to enjoy it more than could have been anticipated.  Only looking over his shoulder as a minorly upset pig gave small oinking noises before running around in a circle and somehow managing to slam a sliding door behind her. The scout's eyes a small amount wider as he stared, obscenely confused before looking to his sandwich.<span class=""bbc_font"" style=""font-family: georgia;""> "" ...It's not ham.. ""</span>he'd whisper to himself before  counting the possibility of what upset the strange animal out. Shrugging before his next bite and returning to his happy smiling lunch-time expression as if he had forgotten why he was there in the first place."

After checking the wand he'd tucked into his boots, Sylvan strode out the door and glanced in the direction of the gunshots.  For the moment, the tingling in his spine was more excitement than fear.  There was a new evocation he was eager to try for depriving thugs of conventional weapons, and who would believe a drunken—and likely strung out—hoodlum ranting on marti gras about a man working magic on their sidearms.<br/><br/>Once he got a sight of the disturbance, Sylvan started in that direction at a confident stride, but doing what he could to subtly pass close to ready cover."

Last night had been at the opening of a trendy new nightclub, Splendors. She had spent the night in high heels and a sequin dress that barely covered her ass. The worst part was the flashing logo that drew attention to her dangerously low cleavage. She was like a freaking walking neon sign. All in all, sweaty dress aside, she made a killing in tips and tonight was her night off. She was going to splurge….in jeans.<br/><br/>The tight form fitting black jeans and off the shoulder glittery halftop left her casual and still fancy enough to get into any location. Besides, figting crowds in a tube top would be just begging for a mischievous pull and whoops! Instant titties on display. No thanks.<br/><br/>Morgayne was just mulling over her shoe collection when her cell went off. Hopping on one foot as she tried to slip on a stiletto, she grabbed it, nearly tripping on a a pair of discarded yoga pants. Flopping down on the edge of her bed, she answered breathless.<br/><br/><em>Good evening, Mora.</em><br/><br/>Knowing instantly that it was Sylvan, she beamed. She like the nickname he gave her. It still sounded elegant and she had been called worse. He was inviting her out, a rare treat and since she hadn’t really wanted to go out alone, she was more than happy to accept. She always wanted to see him drunk, lower his inhibitions. He was sometimes too much of a gentlemen.<br/><br/>“Sylvan! I’d love to go out. Anything to see if you can shake that gorgeous ass of yours,” she said with humor-filled laughter. Suddenly the conversation’s tone changed and Sylvan was explaining something dire.<br/><br/>“No! Sylvan wait! Don’t go by yourself! I’ll be there…,” she looked at her phone as it went silent. “Dammit, Sylvan!”<br/><br/>She threw the phone on the bed and shucked the heel for a pair of leather boots. She grabbed her knife and her gun, throwing on a leather pea coat against the chill and to hide her weapons. She thought of taking her bow but thought it might be overkill. She ran back into her room for her cell phone and ran to the roof access. No way she would make it on her bike or through the crowds. Sylvan wasn’t far but he was far enough.<br/><br/>As she jumped the rooftops startling a group of rooftop partygoers, she hit the speed dial for Matt. As she heard it ringing, she could only feel her frustration and impatience mounting. “Come on, come on, Matt, pick up!”<br/>"

He kept odd hours these days, and mostly just slept when he could, or couldn't avoid it. A lot of his... abilities worked better in the dark. And frankly his quarry preferred it for a whole bunch of reasons. And Carnival just made them later. Drunk tourists wandering about. To easy for someone to vanish. Especially as the night tapered off, and the crowds slimmed.  In his head, Matt knew his chances of stopping such were slim. New Orleans was big, and he couldn't be everywhere at once. But his head could get stuffed, because at the end of the day, he'd rather know he tried.<br/><br/>Morgayne's call caught him just as he was prepping to head out, luckily. He'd tossed on his large coat, stuck his handguns in the pockets concealed inside of it, and that's when the call came through. Matt had a Cell Phone, like everyone else in this bloody world but wizards, and he flipped it open immediately when he saw it was Morgayne. There were people Matt didn't take calls from. Lots of them. But Morgayne... well, pretty much most men (and quite a few ladies) would take a call from her unless they were dead. And even then, they might make a spirited attempt. Matt cracked a smile at that.<br/><br/>""Evening Ms. Earlich. What can I do for you?""<br/><br/>He spoke in relaxed terms. He doubted it was something of the nature of needing a couch moved, frankly, but no need to get worked up till he knew what was going on."

I mean, there hasn't been much of anything in the bad guy department. Hang on,"" she said.<br/><br/>Morgayne had to climb a rail to get to the next roof, then landed lightly, moving to the ladder and sliding down. When she hit the ground running, she put the phone back to her ear. I can be there in five if I can find him but I think it smells like a set up. Muggings don't happen on his row...not even during Mardi Gras.""<br/><br/>Morgayne was starting to pant heavily, exerting herself to get there but as she pushed through the last of the straggling crowd she began to pace herself. The feeling she got in her stomach was the one when she felt like she was hunting. As if she were a predator and something out their stank of prey. Her phone made a crackling noise. ""Matt? Are you hearing me? Is Grace busy?""<br/><br/>She hoped her phone acting up meant Sylvan was nearby. As a rule Wizards and tech did not mix but she wasn't sure of the radius and didn't think it would make a good wiz GPS, especially since she paid a lot for it."

Honestly, he thought she was most likely overreacting a bit. Shots didn't mean a mugging, and even then, stupid muggings happened. The police would be to the sound of the shots shortly (the responded quickly in that part of town.) However... Matt was always willing to hedge his bets. Morgayne had abilities he didn't, and she might have picked up on something, or just gotten lucky. Either way, he was planning to just wander around anyways. Wasn't like he couldn't wander around over there.<br/><br/>""Calm down Morgayne. Sylvan can take care of himself, and quite a bit more then that. I'll head over.""<br/><br/>He paused as she continued.<br/><br/>""Who knows about Grace? Give her a call. If she is busy, she probably won't answer. God doesn't take being put on hold to well, I'm guessing. If the Fox had a number, I'd suggest you call her as well.""<br/><br/>Unfortunately, Foxes very rarely had pockets for Cellphones. Matt got into his car, a beat up old Honda, and started it up. He didn't use the car a lot, because he preferred to walk or take public transit, as he got to see more of the city, but in times of need, there was still no faster way to get somewhere.<br/><br/>""I'll be there as quick as I can."""

The crowd began to thin as she moved from the festivities allowing her to move faster. Most of the people were olaughing and getting drunk, clinging to each other to stay upright. People tended to start the sauce earlier during Mardi Gras and everybody was friends with,everyone, regardless if they were strangers. Most of the time they were friendly drunks but sometimes.....<br/><br/>....like now.<br/><br/>""Hey, sweet thang. What's your hurry. Come party with us. Me and my buddies will make it worth your while,"" a stinkingly drunk man said as he grabbed her arm and pulled her to him. His breath reeked as she tripped into him when he pulled her off balance. She had a moment to right herself and note his friends, leering. She jerked her arm free and began to walk off.<br/><br/>""No thanks, another time.""<br/><br/>His friends laughed and he turned bright red and grabbed her again. ""No, your gonna play and your gonna like it, cunt.""<br/><br/>Morgayne paused and looked down at his arm, her eyes closing to angry slits. With her free hand she pulled her gun and shoved it into his stomach where no one could see.<br/><br/>""First, my name is not ""cunt"", you insignificant piece of dog shite. Second, you wouldn't want to play with me. You'd never survive the experience,"" she said with a creepy smile. For added effect she let a little glamor shimmer over her and let her eyes burn red and a mouthful of jagged teeth. The man stumbled back to where his friends caught him as he gibbered. She turned away sharply and then shoved through the rest of the crowd, sucking in the cooler, cleaner air. ""Asshole.""<br/><br/>Morgayne put the phone to her ear, wondering if Grace picked up or if she had to redial. ""Hello?"" She picked up her pace until she was sprinting down the dark but quieter street. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a soft flutter and slowed. In a single pot with geraniums was a pixie. If it weren't for the metal Yeungling cap he used as a helmet, she wouldn't have recognized Criss-Cross.<br/><br/>""Hey! Criss-Cross! Well met. If you do me a favor and show me how fast you can fly, there's a cheese stuffed pizza with extra black olives in it for you,"" she said with a smile.<br/><br/>""Morgayne,"" the little male pixies perked and thumped his hard credit card breastplate. ""You know I am the fastest pixie in town. and I'd do it for free for you,"" he said bashfully. ""But don't tell the others!""<br/><br/>""I won't,"" she said giving a quick peck on the top of his head. He swooned and fell on top of the flower, his weight making it sag. He slipped but zipped upward, a sparkling trail beneath him. ""I will give you the pizza to save face. But I am in a hurry. Can you find Kasaiko, the Fox. I think she should be here to.""<br/><br/>He saluted her and streaked off. She sighed and then remembered her phone. The call had dropped so she dialed again. ""Please, Grace."" she spoke into the night as she jogged toward a hopefully okay Sylvan. She could feel her body moving like a predator. It was the only reason she thought it wasn't right. The night felt heavy and ominous with death. She wanted to strike, her focus sharp as she now scanned the area.<br/><br/><br/>"

There was a couple sitting next to each other on a nearby bench, and one of them, a fairly young man in a sweatshirt and jeans, had a lime green lighter partly hanging out of his back pocket. All she had to do was creep close enough without them noticing, lift her paw and try ever so carefully to knock it out the rest of the way.<br/><br/>Unfortunately the task was harder than it looked, especially since she really didn't want the as of yet oblivious couple to notice her trying to pilfer the man's lighter from under their noses. Feeling a little nervous, she darted back into the bushes after a few more failed attempts, twin bushy red tails sticking out as she took a moment to calm herself.<br/><br/>This was when the pixie finally spotted her, or rather her tails, but its not like there were too many other fiery red furred foxes in the area, let alone ones with two tails.<br/><br/>""Really, Kasaiko?""

And why use magic to start fires when a perfectly good lighter would do the trick just as nicely?""<br/><br/>""Silly little fox,"" the pixie shook his head, but he couldn't help but smile at her. ""Well your life of petty larceny can wait. Morgayne asked me to come find you and bring you back to her. It seemed pretty important.""<br/><br/>Kasaiko nodded her head, a gesture she had picked up from humans, ""Ok fine lets go. I'd love to see the others again anyway. It's been a little too long.""<br/><br/>A little while later the pixie came flying back to Morgayne, a little red fox darting closely behind. Her tails twitched behind her as she padded up to Morgayne and sniffed up at her. After a moment her form shimmered and there was a mostly naked redhead standing in the foxes place. She was wearing a ragged cloth that barely covered her groin, while her shaggy red hair was the only thing somewhat covering her breasts.<br/><br/>""You called, Morgayne?"" she asked, her voice full of equal parts concern and curiosity."

It's a mess and she just needs to<em>run</em>it, by replacing computers as the means by which humans interface with the wider world, by being the person (in some form or another) that everyone looks to to solve their mundane problems (and thereby hand her control of their lives). Being a hero helps a lot with that, with branding and legitimacy and much more. People are, on the whole, content to trust her motivations if she just says the right words about justice and freedom and crap like that.<br/><br/>Weakness: EMP<br/>Yeah, she's a robot, and although most of her systems are hardened, she's vulnerable to a lot of the things you'd expect a robot to be vulnerable to! Because she's a super-robot most of them (water, electricity) are only inconvenient, but a good EMP can shut her down but good.<br/><br/>Secret: Built by a Villain<br/>Although she's pretty sure (99.9 to eight nines percent sure) that she's eliminated whatever security backdoors the late Dr. Quinn implanted in her programming, the fact that she was built by one of the generation's premier mad scientists is still something she'd rather not get out. People might stop her from taking over the world, after all!<br/><br/>Is<em>Everywhere</em>!<br/>Although the tertiary drones she has running around are a bit useless for superhero work (she's mostly got them optimized for market research or personal interactions), it's not even vaguely difficult for some nefarious type to get their hands on one. That might present a security problem someday, seeing as how it's a distributed consciousness. It also means it's hard to go somewhere without being recognized.<br/><br/>160 PP starting. 0 PP spendable.<br/>Total is 160 PP.<br/><br/>Legion was taken. Legionary was also taken. Centurion was taken.<br/><br/>Auxilia is a little pissed that she can't do the low growly voice while saying, ""my name is Legion, for we are many."" She copes! Running the day-to-day of a superhero city isn't exactly glamorous, but it's an important job! There's so much research to do; humans are all so ideologically motivated they can't even see evidence staring them right in the face, but Auxilia collects it all. Waving superhero privilege around lets people mostly leave her alone while an entire city gets to play lab rat without ever knowing.<br/><br/>After all, as one human once said, the power lies in not who is giving the orders, but in who is writing them down.<br/><br/>Of course there are little flourishes that set her above the average car-manufacturing robot. The slightly bluish-tinted artificial skin and finely-articulated joints that she was created with were almost as much of a masterpiece as actually making a real AI with the ability to learn and grow. The ability to create more like herself means that she's actually a functional species all her own, and having been created fully-functional means, well, the less said about that the better."

Malta</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">In a world where the exceptional is commonplace, and supers of all kinds and moralities pop up seemingly at randomly, a supra-genius boy who graduated with multiple doctoral degrees when most of his peers were in Middle School is not quite the international headline grabber it would be in a more mundane world. An orphan of unknown origin, dropped off at the door of a church by a shadowy figure that vanished into the night, his infancy was unremarkable in a world where that sort of thing is quite commonplace, but once his towering intellect began to manifest he was quickly adopted by the wealthy Malta family. <br/><br/>At fourteen years old, after completing his first doctorate, the now Dr. John C. Malta began interning with various Super Scientists and other tech and/or magic based heroes. A very competent minion, he has worked in labs from Manila to the Moon. Due to his own inventions, family fortune, and the profitability of working for the greatest magical and scientific minds of the universe, he quickly built up a substantial wealth independent of his parents. <br/><br/>His cocky, arrogant disposition, complete confidence in his superiority, lack of regard for social niceties, and impatience with the idiotic masses made him a rather impossible person to deal with throughout most of his life. He alienated all those close to him, except his parents, with his utter contempt of all life that was not his own. Coupled with a disregard for most authorities, and a general misanthropy, he was well on his way to being a potential supervillain. Then his sixteenth birthday came, and his entire personality changed. He became humble, subdued, polite, and quiet. He redoubled his efforts, submersing himself completely in work, afraid to be caught idle for even a second, stopping even sleeping. Sometimes, he could be caught muttering to himself, or in heated argument with unseen powers. All in all, he acted rather suspiciously, but as he had become a model employee, people figured it was just one of those eccentricities superpowered individuals sometimes have, and promoted him to his current position.<br/><br/>Now a little past eighteen, Dr. John Christian Malta stands 5’6” and weighs about 110lbs. With golden blond hair, and hypnotically blue eyes, he would be incredibly good looking if he did not chronically skip meals and sleep, resulting in a willow-thin slip of a man with perpetual bags around his eyes. He is currently working with the other heroes in a support role, fixing items (and people), creating devices, filing paperwork, and hosting people at his country estate. Since his personality has changed so much for the better when dealing with others, he has gained a few female admirers (he is as good-looking as is normal for a superhero, in his geeky way, not to mention a multi-millionaire with a very nice house), but he has stridently avoided anything with the merest hint of sensuality.<br/><br/><strong>Basic Ability Scores:</strong> 36pp<br/><em>Strength:</em> -1  <em>Stamina:</em> -1  <em>Agility:</em> -1  <em>Dexterity:</em> 3<br/><em>Fighting:</em> -1  <em>Intellect:</em> 16  <em>Awareness:</em> 2  <em>Presence:</em> 1   <br/>Most of the time John Malta is a hyper-genius but otherwise rather ordinary teenager with the pitiful physical stats one would expect of an untrained, scrawny, glasses-wearing nerd.<br/><br/><strong>Defenses:</strong> 0pp<br/><em>Dodge:</em> -1  <em>Parry:</em> -1  <em>Fortitude:</em> -1<br/><em>Will:</em> 4  <em>Toughness:</em> -1  <em>Initiative</em> -1<br/>John C.

Superheroes have the best tech, labs, spells, and research resources, so working with them is quite natural for a neutral party whose keen mind requires complex stimulation.<br/><br/>Secrets: A whole pile of them, encompassing 50pp. See spoiler.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">The Hospitaller</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><div class=""floatleft"">(https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6114/6272234623_7b7879e216_z.jpg)</div>The truth of Dr. Malta’s sudden personality transformation on his sixteenth birthday was that a ghostly, winged woman calling herself ‘The Sealed Valkyrie’ appeared to him on this day, explaining that his true heritage was that of a child of the Otherworld, Faerie, mixed with the blood of humanity. Though by itself that ancestry was not even close to being unique, dozens of superheroes and supervillains can claim the same, somehow, his blood uniquely allowed her to communicate and empower him. Initially, Dr. Malta was reluctant to obey her, as he did not know who she really was, or what her true goals were, not helped by her evasive answers to any such questions. But by dint of persuasion, offers of immortality and power, and explanation that he had been promised to her even before his birth, and that any promise to a Fae power like her was unbreakably binding (meaning that she could force him if she wanted to) Dr. Malta finally decided to accept her powers, and the limitations along with them.<br/><br/>Said limitations are incredibly strict. Sealed Valkyrie had apparently been mostly inactive since about the time of the Crusades, and drew much of her morality and codes of actions and ethos from a particularly narrow, limiting form of medieval theological thought borne of a bizarre mixture of ancient moralism and bloodthirsty ‘justice’. Her final goals unknown, Sealed Valkyrie will pester Dr. Malta to do many things he finds rather unpleasant, such as executing anyone who would have earned death in Medieval Europe (a lot of them), in additional to behaving according to the chivalrous ideal at all times. Since keeping very busy, with very little sleep or downtime, helps to prevent her from goading him into near-homicidal fits of sinner-smiting, he is forced to keep busy.<br/><br/>So far, Dr. Malta has avoided ever using his Hospitaller alter-ego, and the existence of these powers is an absolute secret, known only by Dr. Malta (who does not want anyone to know) and Sealed Valkyrie (who cannot tell anyone).<br/><br/><strong>Powers</strong> 50pp<br/><em>Medium</em> Comprehend Spirits, (Limited): 2 Ranks (2pp)<br/>Dr. Malta can communicate with ghosts and other spiritual entities, mostly Sealed Valkyrie, normally invisible to even other mediums. Usually he can only communicate with her, but occasionally she broadens his sight. This is not even close to being a regular occurrence, however, being randomly at her whim.  <br/><br/><em>Fae Body</em> Immunity: 6 Ranks – Age, Disease, Poison, Radiation, Heat, Cold – (6pp), Regeneration (Limited): 8 Ranks (4pp).<br/>Dr. Malta, as an immortal fae, has massive resistance to a lot of common human problems, such as age. He regenerates most normal damage very quickly, but is allergic to iron. He takes damage from merely touching iron, and does not regenerate wounds caused by iron weapons. Steel is fine though, it is only more pure forms of iron, especially Cold Iron (iron ore that has not been fully smelted, only beaten into shape) that burn him with a mere touch.<br/><br/><em>Fae Speech</em> Comprehend Languages and Writing (Limited): 3 Ranks (4pp)<br/>Dr. Malta can instantly understand, speak, and write all spoken and written languages, by means of his access to the Faerie tongue. There is a tradeoff though: he is unable to lie in any language. If he manages to overcome an incredibly steep Will DC to force himself to lie, he instantly loses all access to this power until Sealed Valkyrie sees fit to return it to him. <br/><br/><em>Valkyrie Resurrection</em> Immortality (Limited): 5 Ranks (5pp)<br/>Since Sealed Valkyrie does not want her chosen champion (the only person who can see or hear her) to die, she uses her powers to resurrect him after about a day of death. This resurrection cannot be prevented by destroying his corpse, but can be prevented by beheading him (provided the both the head and the corpse is still in existence, if it is not, then see the part about ‘destroying the corpse’) or by leaving any iron implements embedded in his chest or head. In theory, he can be permanently killed by destroying Sealed Valkyrie (provided she is real and not the manifestation of Dr. Malta’s severe psychosis), though how one would go about killing a dreamlike, hallucinatory, incorporeal, intangible, invisible being is a mystery.<br/><br/><em>Crusader Form</em> All descriptions here have the (Limited) and (Activated) modifiers.<br/>Growth: 1 Rank (1pp)<br/>Enhanced Advantages: 6 Ranks – Attractive 2, Improved Initiative 2, Evasion, Uncanny Dodge – (2pp), Enhanced Abilities: 30 Ranks – Strength 5, Stamina 3, Agility 4, Dexterity 1, Fighting 7, Awareness 5, Presence 5. (15pp) Fortitude: 4 Ranks (2pp)<br/>This is Dr. Malta’s real power: a superpowered alter ego called The Hospitaller, meant for the smiting of the unjust and the destruction of the unholy. It takes a long time to activate and access to it is dependent purely on The Sealed Valkyrie’s whims. Dr. Malta must occasionally make Will saves to prevent from going into homicidal levels of righteous rage against lawbreakers and evildoers. Since he is bigger and older-looking in this form, he has a tendency to rip out of his clothes. This is not usually a problem, since he can instantly summon armour. It can be embarrassing when he leaves the form and loses access to the summoned armour, however...<br/><br/><em>Crusader Armaments</em> All descriptions here have the (Limited) Modifiers.<br/>Ranged Damage (Holy): 8 Ranks (4pp), Alternate Effect: Damage (Holy): 8 Ranks (1pp), Protection: 6 Ranks (3pp), Parry: 2 Ranks (2pp).<br/>As part of his Crusader Form, and only when in his Crusader Form, The Hospitaller can summon spectral armaments. Though they look like normal armor and weapons (Full plate armour, bow and arrows, sword and shield, sweet black tunic with a white cross…) they are actually manifestations of his powers, summoned and removed at will as long as he is in the Crusader Form.<br/><br/><strong>Hospitaller Stats</strong><br/><em>Strength:</em> 4  <em>Stamina:</em> 2  <em>Agility:</em> 3  <em>Dexterity:</em> 4<br/><em>Fighting:</em> 6  <em>Intellect:</em> 16  <em>Awareness:</em> 7  <em>Presence:</em> 6<br/><br/><em>Dodge:</em> 3  <em>Parry:</em> 8  <em>Fortitude:</em> 2<br/><em>Will:</em> 7 <em>Toughness:</em> 8  <em>Initiative:</em> 11<br/><br/>The Hospitaller stands 6’6”, with over 200 lbs. of muscle. His hair turns white, and his eyes glow purple. With Dr. Malta’s looks improved by not being a short, under-muscled, under-fed, exhausted nerd: he is incredibly good looking.<br/><br/><strong>Complications</strong><br/>Motivations: The Hospitaller is dedicated to justice, protecting the innocent, punishing the wicked, etc.<br/><br/>Power Incontinence: Dr. Malta does not have very good control over his powers, especially the way they warp his personality. He can slip into the Hospitaller alter-ego against his will, or completely loss access to it at inconvenient times. The exact reasons are not always clear, but he is more likely to go into the form when evil is committed around him, and he usually loses access when he does something to upset Sealed Valkyrie.<br/></div></div></div></div>"

Her wings will emerge when she's on sanctified ground or in the presence of significant religious artifacts.<br/><br/>Prof. Mystery is the mystic master of the Defenders of Humanity, battling not only against supervillains, but threats unseen and unimagined by the world at large.  His arch enemy was the demon lord Abraxis, as the Prof. stood in the way of Abraxis unleashing his hordes on the Earth.  There was considerable competition among the demon hordes to destroy the Professor and win the favor of their lord.  Many a plot failed and a demon died in the effort.  One succubus, Mezora, took a more subtle approach than attempting to rend him limb from limb.  With a few mundane pharamcuticals and some social media research into his type, she seduced him and stole his seed, planning to bear a daughter with the Professor's arcane power and the infernal wiles of a succubus... and he wouldn't be able to truly fight against his own daughter!<br/><br/>Lucy was the fruit of that union, raised in a series of unassuming towns and spending summer vacations in the infernal realm where time passed more quickly.  She's 17 now, though was born on Earth less than 10 years ago.  She was sent to a hellish place to learn the depths of depravity and cruelty... high school!  Mastering the mystic arts in a demonic plane was cake compared with that.  And she didn't really WANT to be a living weapon against the sorcerer of order... she got tired of her mom going on and on about it.  And of her mom seducing every boyfriend she took home.  Girlfriends too!<br/><br/>Professor Mystery sealed away Abraxis forever during Lucy's sophomore year and the whole infernal hierarchy collapsed into anarchy, so Mezora's plan became moot, much to her dismay and Lucy's relief.<br/><br/>Lucy has met her father a few times... it's very awkward, to say the least, what with how she was conceived and her half-infernal nature and the whole “use her as a weapon to destroy him” thing... her mom went on and on about it when she caught them together once... she's really unhappy that all her work has been wasted.  Prof. Mystery's apprentice/lover Vera doesn't like all of this either, or Lucy... who may have more magical potential than she does.<br/><br/>Lucy has been getting into superheroics lately, wanting to put her powers to good use while following in her father's footsteps (Or trying to get his attention, her mom says).<br/><br/>She's a well-read young woman and a student of history in particular... she's studying how magic has affected the course of history, though this will be hard to write a paper on.<br/><br/>Darkling is a half human, half succubus.  She stands 5'6” tall and has pale skin, dark brown eyes and long, straight black hair, bangs in the front, falling to her waist.    She can grow large black and red bat wings from her back, but has no other demonic features.<br/><br/>Her hybrid heritage gives her great potential for the arcane arts and she's an apt pupil, having mastered powerful combat magics.   Her demon half lets her fly with her wings, cause incredible pleasure with just a touch, detect magic and see in the dark, and through illusions.  Her insight is uncanny and seduction and manipulation is like a second nature to her.  She also has endurance far beyond the human norm.<br/><br/>Despite her upbringing, Lucy doesn't use sex as a weapon or people as tools to advance her aims.  Unless there's a good reason, or violence is the alternative.  That said, Lucy is rather casual about nudity, and only a little more so about sex.  She is well aware of how a few catty words or a touch can fan the flames of jealousy and turn people against one another... but she hates drama.<br/>"

She keeps the secret of being born with a Lucent-3 (L-3) genetic upgrade. She has black hair with large bangs, green eyes (her eyes are artificial and she often changes the color)Born on earth, parents were career military in JSDF.<br/>With the system fully colonised, science moved on to improving the human condition and genetic upgrades were all the rage in scientific facilities. This was until 30 years ago when it was banned by the UWC; though clandestine research continues in military and private corporate facilities they are illegal.<br/>Lesser genetic upgrades are being developed in present day... A sensory package to aid piloting is currently available, assuming you know the right people and have the money. It is otherwise illegal to produce them, though not be created through genetic science. However being ‘more than Human’ carries a certain stigma, so Miyako keeps the aspect of her birth a secret from others.<br/>Miyako is a military L-3 upgrade indoctrinated and trained as a black-ops asset. Hence her skills, training and slight younger age compared to the others. Her last mission went Dark after the unit encountered… something.<br/>The unit was all but wiped out and the presence of the Black-ops team revealed in the ensuing chaos to the corporate target as well as the civilian press.<br/>The Warden’s were contacted via back channels given the nature of the incident and she was quietly transferred to them.<br/>Her military records were altered to  have her being part of a Signals intelligence (SIGINT) unit rather than an active special forces unit.<br/>Her official Military records are still classified.<br/><br/>Miyako was apparently trained for nasty dirty black ops wet-work, she prefers to close distance as quickly as possible and strike at point blank range. If needed she will use either her pistol and/or SMG until she reaches melee range then she will change to her vibro katana to shred armor and flesh. She fights efficiently and with speed and grace in an acrobatic dance of death. She always strikes with lethal intent unless instructed otherwise even when unarmed she fights to disable and then kill.<br/>She will shift targets as necessary when working with others otherwise she will seek to eliminate the most dangerous threat."

He did, however, have a small bit of background in spaceship operation as well as an impressive stamina and resistance to disease.  Initially, he struggled in training, as his social skills never really improved to levels useful for Warden investigations.  Eventually, the social aspect was excluded from his role definitions, and Eric became more involved in front line explorations, his toughness and practical skills proving useful many times over. It was during this time that Eric met Jay.<br/><br/>Despite doing well as the Investigator on missions, he fared poorly with other Investigators, the majority of whom valued finer methods of expression.  Between that and Eric's views against the UWC, he ruffled many feathers.  It was for that reason, Eric believed, that he only rose to the rank of Lieutenant over his ten year career.<br/><br/>He was happy to leave.  He turned toward a mainly simpler life, running cargo lines and operating drones for scientific research.  Of course, he also used footage from the drones to catch religious leaders in compromising situations, anonymously leaking the recordings (enemy would be one such religious leader).  He was, of course, eventually caught.  An aspiring police officer (Evie) helped bust him, leading to a rather lengthy legal battle eventually resulting in a pleas bargain for misappropriation of government resources and an agreement to serve in the Wardens in lieu of jail time."

While they were able to sell the location of large quantities of resources to the large mining corporations, they were never able to find claim that would give them enough wealth to retire. This was fine with Zaine since his interest in the workings of the ships systems was nurtured and encouraged.<br/><br/>When he was sixteen he signed on to a scavenger ship to be the apprentice of their engineer, leaving his home for the first time.  The position went well and after a few years he was able to make a good amount of money. He was getting ready to return home when the ship had a critical malfunction which started electrical fires. The main engineer was killed in the initial blast. As they were burned alive, Zaine was in a more isolated area of the ship... He thought he had gotten off lucky as he started shutting down the electrical systems and venting key sections of the ship to stop the firestorm from spreading. It was when he was running for one of the few sections that would be safe from the decompression that the fire over took him. It burnt a good portion of his back just as it threw him through a hatchway. He was able to seal the hatch just as the ship started to vent the fire.<br/><br/>He woke up a month later laying on his stomach in the infirmary of one of the few stations that kept the ships in the Kuiper belt. The surviving members of the crew had found him and after doing their best to stabilize him they put him in one of the gravity couches as the ship made best speed for the nearest station and as far away from Pluto as possible. A few of the crew cursed the now dead captain for trying to cut down travel time by passing too close by the cursed dwarf planet. After a few months of rehabilitation he received a message from his family saying they might have found the claim they were looking for but only told him what station to head for when he was fully healed. Only a few weeks later he was notified of the ships disappearance and against the wishes of his doctors he left the station more concerned at that time about his family than waiting for the scars that covered over 60% of his back and left side, which could have been healed fully with another month of treatment, which he would have spent sedated.<br/><br/>It would take him almost five years before a warden would explain to him what they thought had happened to his family and their ship after he joined the group. In the years prior to this he had worked his way up the chain of command on a small prospecting and sometimes salvage ship. This is where he had his first encounter with the horrors that were lurking out in the Kuiper belt. They had found a prospecting vessel that had been reported missing a few weeks before at about the time Zaine's ship had last left port. They found it in a decaying orbit around a asteroid. Some of the ship was buckled in and vented, leaving the crew thinking that the ship had been hit by another piece of rock probably while it had been orbiting this one doing tests.<br/><br/>The crew found out very fast that they had been very wrong when within minutes of entering the craft half of their six boarding party were killed and they were fighting they way back to their ship against a horde of huge insectoid creatures. Zaine's side was sliced open just before the horror attacking him was sliced in half by a vibro blade. Back on the ship, the ship's doctor did her best to clean the wound but he was fighting off an infection for two weeks as they held station and waited for a warden ship to arrive.<br/><br/>From that day on he felt like he was living on borrowed time and would encounter similar horrific creatures as he made his living in the belt. Each time as soon as he could confirm that there was something unnatural happening on the ship he would pull it back to a safe distance and wait for the wardens to arrive. He always seemed to know if a ship was safe to enter or if he would need to call in the wardens as soon as he first laid eyes on a drifting ship, but he would always confirm it before calling in the wardens. The last time this happened before he joined the wardens was when they found a prospecting ship that looked as if it was open to the vacuum. The crew were just suiting up when they received a weak transmission from a survivor on the ship that sounded half out of his mind who confirmed that there was something not human on the ship. He took a small group of volunteers and they did an EvA intending to cut through the ship's hull as close to the survivor as possible then fight their way to him while the rest of the crew backed the ship off and contacted the wardens.<br/><br/>Zaine was able to get to the survivor but found out that he had lied when he told them that he had a space suit. This would not have been a problem if the man had told them since they had spares on the ship but at the time he and two out of the group of seven crew volunteers were trapped in the bridge of the ship. After snapping an order to his men to seal their suits he gave the survivor one last look before he put an explosive charge on the bridge's view ports and after a few moments the bridge decompressed pulling the man out into open space.

The woman had done far too much for her service to just be thrown off like last year’s trash but she refused to retire and refused to become useless. They had thrown this job at her as a last resort hoping to get her to finally bow out and retire but much to their shock and amusement the woman actually took the job. She was just happy to do something at this point and actually fell into her role as ship’s janitor with an uncanny ease.<br/><br/>While the woman is known for her large list of psychological issues and eccentric conversations, she is far more skilled than any mere space maid and could just as easily break their arm as properly clean their station. She has a large amount of combat experience under her belt, much of which can be easily recognized by the multitude of scars marring her form but it is well known amongst the crew that she wasn’t in a position like say.. Captain, because she has continued to fail her psychological. This doesn’t mean she is a malicious person, nor does it mean she will crack under the pressure. She is still permitted to carry a weapon and is even known to give good advice when it comes to strategy, piloting and recon ops. Just don’t ask her for advice on personal matters unless you want a good laugh – she is just as likely to tell you to shit yourself to get rid of problematic ex as to give a box of sanitizer to your new beau for an anniversary gift."

An intelligent boy and a gifted artist, it was clear he would soon grow bored and rebel from the overly boring socioeconomic surroundings he was placed in. Growing infuriated at an increasingly uneventful youth made him look to the stars and his want of escape gave him interest in wanting to be behind the piloting console of a spacecraft, to be free to wander the system. He passed through a few small-time jobs once University was over, trying to find his feet.<br/>Whilst Danny's family had money to be better off than others, they weren't upper class, so Danny was still expected to get a proper job. Danny eventually found work, it was a small job and heavy going. Not one his family were happy that he was taking, but it was a dream for the man, a spell at the asteroid belt, mining. It wasn't the best job, but he'd be able to be that much closer to the system and he'd be able to travel to other stations to stake his claims, getting to be at least in orbit of Mars, Luna and Earth as he worked the Asteroid Belt.<br/><br/>It was working the Asteroid Belt that Dan ran across something not of this dimension; a lone survivor of this encounter he was found by passing salvage crew. Thinking he'd end up now checking out coasting hulks and occasionally working rescue, he ended up in touch with the Wardens after trying to let others know what they saw. The Men in Black gave Dan the option to work with them and rather than put humanity in danger with his knowledge, work to defend it. It was a Sergeant-Major volunteer postion, so with no other real choice, he joined up and began his work as an agent on a shiny Knight's Corvette, given training to become a new Enforcer, something he accepted in a way to get vengeance at the things that killed his old mining crew.<br/><br/>Dan soon learned over the space of the last few years to act as a pilot and an astrogator on his vessel and over the eight years he has been with the Wardens quickly proved himself, working up to the role of Captain of his vessel. He has shown himself to be something of a prodigy with the Wardens and after such a bumpy start, the former belt miner has slipped comfortably into being a capable Enforcer. He's a laid back Captain for the most part and tries to be 'hands-off' with his crew, placing a great deal of trust in them. Some may call him lax, though he knows when the shit hits the fan, the team will come together."

Her mother is heavily involved in the scientific operations on Enceladus, while her father drives ocean liners for the tourism trade, although he previously (with his brother, Evie's uncle) had been a pilot and ship mechanic on Rhea, another of Saturn's moons. Their family associates with relatively high class folk, and Evie has grown up being very gifted with how to interact with people in a wide variety of situations.<br/><br/>Given her father's keen interest in ships, he took great joy in teaching Evie everything he could about them, how they functioned, how to maintain them, and his greatest joy: how to pilot them. As she grew up, under his watchful eye, she was learning to pilot small personal surface airships, which soon grew to inner-system spaceships, and by the time she was in her mid-teens she was already a very proficient pilot.<br/><br/>She wasn't just doing this under her father's supervision, though. She became quite involved with local illegal airship races, roped into it by an older guy at her school who had heard she had some piloting skill. She soon found racing somewhat addictive, and would go to as many of the races as she could manage while keeping her parents unaware. She was one of the top racers on Enceladus, and would get involved with the larger-scale races on Rhea whenever she was able to visit her uncle there.<br/><br/>When she was nineteen, the local authorities heard a tipoff of one of the illegal races taking place, and caught most of those involved, including Evie. However, instead of being arrested, she was surprised to find that they gave her another option - to work for them as a pilot, as they were very short of quality pilots in law enforcement. Unsurprisingly, she agreed, as the other option was jail time.<br/><br/>She grew in reputation as a quality pilot during seven years working for the police, and at the age of twenty-six was given the opportunity to become an undercover officer, which she was particularly suited to due to her excellent social skills. This gave her some basic combat and firearm skill, so she can hold her own in a fight, but feels much more at home at the helm of a ship. When the opportunity came up to become a pilot for the Wardens, she jumped at the opportunity."

He never allowed the schools to catch too much wind of his misdoings, after all he might not of been further taught of how to 'defend' himself. Over the years he participated in tournaments, but never gained a good reputation, often being kicked out for his misbehavior or dishonorable conduct. The same misconduct that has him removed from other MMA tournaments after his further studies and training in a different style. Fortunately as luck would have it, he was scouted and recruited for his talents. It would seem that those who hold A Date with Destiny need villains to satisfy the crowd and what better man that Huy who has been repetitively kicked out of other groups?

Her staff had left for the Arena, where the crowds waited for the first fight of the season between two new fighters. She wore a loose pink shirt and a pair of short shorts, which showcased her slender legs and toned ass. Her stylist had insisted on dolling her up, despite Yura's protests. What was the point, when she was going to be fighting? An hour-long makeup session reminded her that the entire event was about entertainment. Rape and humiliation were the main attractions of the event, and the better she looked, the higher the ratings would be. That's why her manager spent so much time making sure she looked as attractive as possible. The last weeks had been full of endless photoshoots, promotions, and modelling: she had to do all the work of a professional model, but was still expected to train and fight afterwards. The only thing that made this whole thing worth doing was the huge paycheck. For that, she would do anything - even risking the humiliation that came along with losing.<br/><br/>She could hear the muffled roar of the crowd already, chanting in anticipation. Her heart pounded in her chest. Training and practice matches were one thing, but this was the real deal. A No-Limits Career match. Images of some past fights still flashed vividly in Yura's mind. Losing a fight meant more than a smaller paycheck and a tarnish on your record - there was a lot more on the line here. She took a deep breath. There were a lot of eyes watching her first fight, thanks to the media's attention to her. She could only hope for the best.<br/><br/>At the sound of the cue, Yura walked down the long hallway as instructed, and the deafening cheering grew louder and louder. It erupted as she stepped out onto the floor, into the blinding spotlight. She could barely hear herself think. She had been expecting some noise, but it was difficult to adjust to. With some effort, she made her way to the arena in the center, after a brief discussion with her trainer in rapid Korean. She took one more breath to steady her nerves, resisting the temptation to look around at the massive audience who had gathered, and waited for her opponent. What kind of fighter would he be? What would happen to her if she lost? Yura shook her head.

It didn't seem like he would ever stop cumming, but he finally did... staying stiff and deeply pushed into her for a long pause.<br/><br/>""Fuck.. if your pussy is<em>this</em>tight... I wonder..."" he muttered to her, catching his breath. He was interested in another round, another place to fill her up with every load he had. And everyone knew that this wasn't Jake's all-time favorite hole for his cock to violate in a woman.<br/><br/>""Are you ready for the full 'Jake Marsden Experience', bitch?"" he growled, not caring if she understood him or not. She seemed to understand some English at least. One full open hand came slapping into a cheek of her toned ass for emphasis and he withdrew his weapon. Cum flowing from her and down her legs even before the head was even revealed.<br/><br/>"

His cock filled her up completely, stretching the tight walls of her pussy, pushing into her very depths. She felt impossibly full, more than she ever had in her life. Another loud cry left her lips as he pulled out and slammed into her once again, the tip of his cock brushing against her cervix. A set of cameras was circling the two of them now, capturing every angle in high resolution; every detail of Yura's rape was being broadcast over the stadium, over television all over the world, and on the internet. A camera positioned itself right in front of her face, streaming every expression she made: the twisting of her face in pain, then the inevitable moment of pleasure as Jake's mammoth cock ravaged her insides. Despite the humiliation, Yura had never felt so satisfied in her life. Jake's cock satisfied every inch of her pussy, rubbed against every sensitive spot, and even found new ones with each thrust. The Korean girl had already cum multiple times, her juices only serving as lube for him to fuck her harder.<br/><br/>Her legs trembled, barely able to withstand the brutal fucking. Yura held herself up, but could take no more as Jake roared in orgasm. She felt each hot, sticky jet splash against her womb before filling her up, completely coating her well-fucked walls with his seed. Yura collapsed to the floor, cum spilling out of her onto the arena floor. She heaved and gasped for air, having cum again from the feeling of Jake's hot jizz splashing into her womb. It was all over. She had been raped, and embarrassed, but it was over."

He still remained erect, and wet from her insides and his fluid. Kneeling down behind her, he took her panties laying on the mat and flung them into the audience as a souvenir. As she started to push up with her arms, his right hand cradled her waist while other forearm pressed her down into the mat, forcing her to lay on her stomach. He pressed his massive body, grinding his hulking chest and nipples against her back.<br/><br/>With his left hand now open, he snatched a handful of her splendorous dark hair and pressed the monstrous tip of his dripping cock against her tiny asshole. The cameramen were already frantically adjusting for the best shots, and the crowd tried to jockey for position. Either to see her in the flesh or the shot of her on the giant screen being projected just over the entrance ramp. This was Marsden's favorite finish... at least one version of it, to wrap up his matches with the unfortunate women that challenged him or otherwise gave him trouble.<br/><br/>Yanking her hair a bit to shake her spirit, he growled into her ear again. ""I would say that this is for making me look bad, but I gotta see just how good this is from you... if you don't enjoy it, I'm pretty sure I will."" He laughed just before his last words... ""Keep it tight for me, baby!""<br/><br/>Marden began to push, trying to slowly pierce his huge, rock-hard member into her ass with a feral roar..."

Her muscles ached from the fight, but her body tingled from the repeated, forced orgasms. She didn't know when the pain had turned into pleasure, but she had never cum that hard in her life. No cock could even compare to the one that had just ravaged her, leaving her panting on the ground. The feeling only made it more humiliating. The entire thing had been rigged from the start; there was no way she should be fighting the champion in her first match. The cum that filled her womb and plastered her insides leaked out from her ravaged insides, pooling on the ground. She was sure the cameras had recorded it all - every lewd expression she made, every moan that left her lips had been seen and heard by millions. Thankfully it was all over. She could go home and take a hot shower, and go to sleep. The next day she would train again, and prepare for her next match. She did not want to lie here once again.<br/><br/>She gasped in surprise as Jake easily lifted her, throwing her on the mat once again. Her attempts to get up were immediately squashed, and she found herself lying face down. Yura was only slightly aware of the camera crew rotating positions, their feet scuffling on the ground. Her eyes widened as she felt the bulbous head of Jake's cock press against her asshole. Yura squirmed, trying to get away, but it was no use - she was held firmly in place. She had never had anything in her ass. A cock this big would break her apart. She made another movement to break free, but Jake's cock pushed the tight star of her asshole apart and plunged inside. A loud cry left her lips - the lubrication of his cum and her juices made it better, but his mammoth cock was still much too big for her tight Korean ass.<br/><br/>""Stop, stop!"" She cried, her squirming only pushing him deeper inside.<br/>"

He imagined the image of tears watering up, coating her sharp, exotic Korean eyes with that beautiful sheen of despair... and perhaps even  euphoria. He wanted to set her free. He wanted to show her a whole other reason why he was called The Hammer. He wanted to fuck her until she called him a god.<em>Her</em>god. But would he stop there? Probably not.<br/><br/>He slowly pierced all the way into her ass; balls-deep and to the hilt! Pausing for a moment to feel her tight walls tighten and squeeze around his cock. Her instinctive reaction was like a vacuum for him - almost stroking him with her contracting muscles and clinching her beautifully toned ass for him. She had quite the backside, as his hands had caressed and pressed against it with pleasure and intent. The crowd cried frantically in anticipation for her first call, a morph between a moan and scream that became signature for Marsden to cause.<br/><br/>""Ugh...! ....Y-yeah!"" he grunted with a feral resonance, delivering his first thrust as savored her climatic response. He began pushing deep, slowly and methodically as his heavy balls pressed and jumped against her misty skin. Muscles in his veiny, hulking body flexed and his blood pumped throughout his massive arms, legs, chest and back! Each motion, every thrust, every pump into the tightest ass he's ever had forced his voice to shake and groan in almost thoughtless animalistic delight. The smell of her sweat lingered in his nostrils as he took her... in every one of his senses.<br/><br/>She was<em>his</em>. She<em>belonged to him</em>, now. In his mind, Park Yura was now the property and personal fuck-toy of Jake ""The Hammer"" Marsden. The only thing that would make this even more perfect for this rush was to hear her choked cries in English between every few thrusts into her perfect ass:<br/><br/>'<em>OH....MY....GOD!</em>'<br/><br/>That is what he wanted to hear. That is what he wanted her to call him. His ego had never quite swelled up like this before. But the crowd loved it.

It was as if Jake was pumping the noise out of her body. Her eyes were closed, and her face twisted in extreme concentration. It took all of her will to keep herself together and present an acceptable face. She could feel her ass squeezing his cock, trying to push it out; but it was no use. As much as she squeezed, Jake had no intention of pulling out. He pushed on, deeper and deeper, until Yura finally felt his hips against her red cheeks, his cock lodged firmly in her ass. A low, guttural moan left her at the realization that she had taken him fully. Her core shook with the vibrations of her own moan. Yura had never felt this full in her life, a sense of fullness that nothing else could provide. The entire thing felt lewd, and wicked. She was being touched in ways that she had never imagined - Yura Park was being fucked in the ass.<br/><br/>Her moans kept coming as Jake began to pick up his pace, breaking in her virgin ass. The pleasure began to show on her face, for all the world to see. The audience watched eagerly, imagining her face at the end of it all: broken, fucked silly, left to drown in a puddle of cum. Yura felt a strange sensation building deep inside of her; like an orgasm, but from a completely different place. The anticipation only furthered her pleasures. She already knew that it would be the most pleasurable thing she had ever felt. The time for words had already passed. She held on for dear life, her fists clenched as Jake's cock slammed into her ass repeatedly. It took all of her strength to stay on all fours and moan. Yura braced herself for the most powerful orgasm to ever wrack her thin, Korean body."

Luckily for Galilahi the method of his victory, by simply crushing the breath from her body in that training bout had left little lasting damage. A few dark bruises on her torso was the only evidence of the ease with which the muscular Asian wrestler had humiliated her. Galilahi was not one to be cowed by defeat, as soon as she had picked herself off the mat where Huy had unceremoniously left her she had called her manager. Swearing and cursing Galilahi had demanded that another fighter be found for her to spar against as quickly as possible. Brushing aside any suggestion that she should rest and wait for a bout to be arranged Galilahi had threatened to quit and find another manager unless a fresh opponent could be found to train against. Rattled, her manager had insisted that he would make the calls immediately and try his best."

So, the  first thing we need to do is create a temporary program of some sort to bind it. As the soul is completely unshaped, we will have to write as if we were making a full independent AI, and simply use the soul to bypass the more arcane aspects of spirit programming. My theory is, once we bind the soul, we can communicate with it to more fully shape it according to its own desires, and not just ours.

Sleeves are rolled to his elbows on a woolen chemise they may have once been white, peeking out from beneath a heavy dark brown jack studded with tarnished brass rivets. A cloak is rolled and slung around his body along with a quiver and an unstrung bow. He holds up a gloved hand and his companion stops several feet behind.<br/><br/>He glances back at the dusky maiden in her mail reinforced with exquisitely decorated plates. Looking at her, he places a finger to his mouth, then to his ear, and finally twirls it in the air in a small circle to express all around them. The air is still, no sound of bird or beast. He cocks his ears again and holds up his palm and three fingers, signaling her to wait a few moments before following. He moves almost silently, more than she might expect knowing each rivet on his jack holds reinforcing plates similar to those on her mail.<br/><br/>They left out of Melford the day before yesterday, after the most recent assault of the fortnight. He meant to find the creatures behind the attack rather than wait for them in the town. His companion, one the town’s guard, volunteered to accompany him. He’s not sure which of them is more pleased her superiors allowed it. If he were honest with himself, he hated this life constantly moving, never sleeping in the same place two nights in a row. He was glad to have the company.<br/><br/>She finds him crouched over something on the ground. “Here,” he says, pointing to a footprint the size of a child’s. “Goblins, on the raid towards Dryad Wood. A dozen, three hours ago.” He points toward his front left. “Melford’s there, about ten miles. It’s an easy route.” He looks toward the way they’ve travelled further to his right, to the southwest, and she can see him contemplating something. “They know you’re few in Melford and they don’t expect anyone this far out. They’re avoiding contact. They’ve found the stream by now, it’s an easy path south. They’ll follow it.” With one hand, he holds a skirt of his jack flat and points with his dagger in the other to lay out the terrain. His companion recognizes the stream at least from other maps. “They can’t make it through the Hard Hills and we can cut them off.” He turns to face her, sheathing his blade. “Chase or flank?” Her look tells all.<br/><br/>“Ready to run?” he asks nonchalantly as he begins to do just that, away from the tracks. The hood of the woolen coif protecting his neck from his armor falls back during the run revealing his dark brown hair cut simply just above his nape and the short beard he wears. He sets a pace for a long run through broken terrain, taking a shorter route that would be far more difficult for the smaller creatures to traverse. They cross the goblins’ track thrice more before the path takes them to the road between Dryad Wood and Melford.<br/><br/>They spy a fire in a place off the road he knows and has used himself many times in the past. He calls a silent halt as they watch. “We should be minutes ahead of them. And this is too much for them to resist, especially if they’re hungry,” he whispers to her. True enough, they soon hear cries from the camp as goblins attack from another angle. “Too slow. Damn,” he quietly curses while rushing off in the darkness."

He was strong and brash as a child, enjoying rough housing and fighting, whether it was for his own sake or to impress a girl he liked as he got older... This brashness and enjoyment of conflict may have contributed to him becoming a soldier when he was of age, volunteering rather than being drafted. Between youthful charisma and skill at arms it was no surprise that he rose through the ranks in battle rather quickly and soon became the officer of a small contingent of soldiers. Much about Lucas changed when he led his soldiers head long into an ambush by goblins, the greenskins cutting down a handful of men and quickly causing Lucas to order a retreat, staying behind to cover his men who fell back. Expecting to die, it was a knight of Heironeous who surprisingly came to Lucas’ aid, having been in the area already hunting down the goblins. Working together and driving them back, Lucas and the knight returned to camp. Curious about the knights abilities and feeling inadequate due to leading men to their death, Lucas asked to learn more about the knight and his skills, seeking to become one himself. The church welcomed him with open arms, believing that he could be more...<br/><br/>It has been a few years since, but Lucas is a new and different man. Strong of body and force of will, he was tasked with proving that he could be a capable warrior of the church and his god – naturally, Dryad Woods call for adventurers seems the perfect opportunity to show that he has learned, and that he can be a true paladin.<br/>"

By day she worked for her father writing letters and notes and by night she thrilled herself with books of legends and epics from her father's meager library.<br/><br/>By coincidence she discovered that pages of separate tomes actually belonged to the same volume, and that volume was in fact a wizard's spellbook, its spells scribed in code. Through years of experimentation and diligent study, Kailae deciphered her first spells and following the book's instructions, taught herself magic.<br/><br/>Not everyone was as impressed with the young prodigy's feat. What if the tome's original owner came looking for it? Reading from mysterious old books was not always safe and the book might be cursed. Could the tome itself have been helping her, wanting her to learn its spells, for some nefarious purpose?<br/><br/>But Kailae didn't let those words of warning stop her. Having deciphered all she could without further knowledge of magic, and with news of strange new cities and war on the horizon, she was already preparing to set out on the path to becoming a great wizard of her people.<br/><br/>Kailae is smart and driven. However, she's also an incorrigible show-off and relishes flaunting her power, knowledge and good looks with clothing that is far too scanty to be decent.<br/><br/>She's charming and likeable, and would be skilled at diplomacy and deception if not for her tendency to bluntly speak her mind.<br/><br/>In a little town like Dryad Wood, where wizards and sorcerers are a rare breed, she is a big fish in a small pond and dangerously prone to overestimating her own magical prowess.<br/><br/>She is very aware of her short time in the mortal world and determined to make something of herself before her youth and beauty fade.<br/><br/>But even as she finds herself called to a greater destiny Kailae cannot let go of her home. She will never forget that this is where it all started, with her reading a dusty tome by lantern light.<br/><br/>Kailae's proficiencies in Arcana, History and Religion represent knowledge pieced together by reading from her father's library, from studying under the wise folk of Dryad Wood, and from reading the letters she scribed and copied. She does not have formal education. Her arcane focus is the staff shown in the picture.<br/><br/>Her spellbook is a copy of notes and what she learned from the original volume she discovered in her father's study.

Rinarya inherited exactly three things from her mother: her inquisitive curiosity, her voluptuous beauty, and her fiery libido - and Rinarya is always struggling to hide that last one. Where her mother is gregarious, charming, and openly flirtatious, Rinarya has always been quiet and withdrawn with social skills more befitting a rock. Where her mother was an adventurer of some renown before settling down to a relatively peaceful life as a barmaid, Rinarya has always been content to remain in her hometown, satiating her curiosity with whatever books and stories trickled in from the outside world. And where her mother always had the sense and self-control not to let her impulsive nature cause too much chaos, Rinarya's first real exposure to alcohol and wandering hands - brought on by her brief stint as a waitress at her mother's insistence, the woman's first and final attempt to get her to open up - lead to fines for property damage and public indecency she has only just managed to pay off. Rinarya spends most of her time at home now. She doesn't trust herself with temptation, and she's happy with her books, making what money she needs with the magic she has gleaned from them over the years.<br/><br/>But something has been stirring in Rinarya's spirit now that strange tales from the outside world have begun to reach her ears. Her curiosity and thirst for knowledge never waned, and besides... she has questions that need answering. And she knows she won't find those answers sitting around in the sleepy town of Dryad Wood.<br/><br/>So, she thinks, she may have to follow in her mother's footsteps after all."

Also it would have been his close calls with monsters in his early twenties that would have pushed him to join the Wardens.<br/><br/>As far as ship names go something obscure enough to not automatically make people think all hell is going to break loose but still is able to foreshadow what will probably happen soon after it enters orbit would be interesting since the wardens attempt to cover up everything they come across.<br/><br/>As for who is CO my vote goes to a character with social skills :)

I think that works with the Inner-Outer system dynamic, which is almost Firefly like and also as a Warden your character would know the work can be pretty... fatal at times.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>I am open to how the team was formed, it happens that new and old faces get put together just by the dynamic of who is where in the system at what time. The story will assume you've been summoned and likely each of you were before the IC thread somewhere in the Inner system other than the red planet, so that's Mercury, Venus or Earth or the space around there. Possibly the Asteroid Belt.<br/><br/>This is because it takes a fortnight to go to places in the Inner system, though a Mars to Jupiter trip takes longer. So for this sudden Mission it's more likely your characters would be recruited from the Inner system at this time. Maybe your character was already happening to go to Mars and waking up from their grav-couch they get the sudden message to report to the Warden space station above the planet for the new Mission.<br/><br/>Feel free to figure such things into your backstories and bonds together. Of course you may know each other from past Missions or you may never have met certain people here in the crew. Wardens work the whole system after all. Maybe you get called to Mars from your usual jurisdiction because of the skills you have. Remember this Mission you're entering into is at the start a Missing persons case, though the Wardens wonder if the miners from the community who reported in may have dug something up causing it and if so, it needs quelling. Thus the character's mix of specialties and roles.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Yes, you have a ship... ^^<br/>Though you'll be spending near all the Mission dirtside on the planet starting off. When the mission is complete though you'll get a call in to get to Venus. That'll give you some time to spend doing spaceship stuff then. :)<br/><br/>Taken from Chthonian Stars, which was essentially the 1st edition of this game that was a Traveller supplement, we have these as the official Warden ranks;<br/><br/>0 Agent<br/>1 Corporal<br/>2 Sergeant<br/>3 Lieutenant<br/>4 Captain<br/>5 Major<br/>6 Colonel<br/><br/>Corporals generally all have some Occult training/experience and Lts know Investigation. Assume for the most part you'll fall between Ranks 0-3. I know that doesn't make too much sense until you remember Wardens tend to be picked specifically for Missions. Assume that you gain a Rank from 0 for every four years you've been with them, with perhaps the odd bump up and you're good.<br/><br/>We can talk about where you stand in Rank before we start also. Note this is more for flavour than power-playing or calling Rank on each other. You're all fairly even going in.<br/>As far as Captain, unless anyone protests I am considering my GMPC to be acting Captain until someone better suited comes along. Also if bad stuff happens to my dude (he won't have anymore experience than you all, so you have a chance to shine), then battlefield promotions will be in effect.<br/><br/>Frelance you make a great point also. :)<br/><br/>Hope that answers everything. I will get to editing the Approved characters thread presently. :)"

I only suggest my own guy as Captain so we don't derail and the game gets stuck. Nobody should be ordering anyone else around, you're all in it together and should work together as a team more than a squad with a command structure. Think of the Wardens as having rungs on the ladder, but they're really lax about it. An Officer will listen to a Corporal if what they say makes sense. They're investigating occult and alien phenomena, so not everyone is an expert on it and lower ranked people may know more on a situation than their CO does."

Think of this as Level 1 in a videogame like Silent Hill where you're fairly lacking in gear... Let me say from experience also that this adds to the horror and with the skills and talents and qualities you all have, you're not as helpless as you think you'll be with less gear. Honestly.<br/><br/>It's a solution to the previous version of the game, where characters were highly equipped, most people ran around in space suits with shotguns and if anything came their way, it'd be blasted with zero threat... The aliens just weren't scary because of it and it was hard on the GMs to get something to worry the PCs (I know as I GMed the other version myself).<br/><br/>If it does become a problem here, I'll bump Sponsored Wealth up for the next Mission, making it much easier for you to get some cool stuff going in and making you all feel a bit more capable, sound good? :)"

The bridge has holographic controls, a bit like the Prometheus from the same film. It has a railgun and missile launcher as it's ship weaponry (complete with aim assist computers), 10 single occupancy staterooms, built in fuel skimming and purifying tech so you can skim extra hydrogen from the Gas Giants, an onboard laboratory, a grappling arm to latch onto other ships.<br/><br/>kckolbe, it also comes with probe drones, which may be what that specific drone skill represents, until I look more through the gear catalogue again for you. :)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>I know we had a hiccup over gear yesterday *bows down low* I still would like you all to list out and run Purchase tests for what you want though.

The devs took notice of this and so the Wealth system solved that issue by keeping things to a minimum and I think the new original system used now makes characters feel more capable.

There is no artificial gravity generator (outside of the Dead Space magnetic floor plates of the ship), so a ring around the ship spins at a high speed and makes a kind of gravity to those within it. There is a doorway that opens to the axis of this ring, within is ladder that connects to the main body of the ship.<br/><br/>The deckplan of the Ring is the hoop as if cut and spread out. When you reach the one end if you walked it, you'd end up at the other end in a continual loop. The ship in 2001:A Space Oddysey has a small gravity ring, there is a scene in the film of the main character jogging along it and you can see they're running along a large hamster wheel structure. That's a gravity ring.<br/><br/>Your character's clothing (generally thought of as crew jump-suits) has some metallic fibres spun into them, these are pulled down slightly by the magnetic floor plating and simulate a gravity for the character. This is so they're not freefalling through the ship or affected by the thrust of the ship in it's acceleration or decceleration.<br/><br/>If the concept of gravity is too much for someone though, these things are basically handwaves for there being gravity in a spaceship when there shouldn't be any. :)"

All locations in the inner system take a fortnight to reach from. Because the mission was somewhat important and Shari needed people, he checked which agents were available in the inner system, rather than anyone from Jupiter onwards (which is the outer system, to reiterate; the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is the barrier between inner and outer system).<br/><br/>Honestly, the circumstances of what got you together aren't any big wide conspiracy, you're not being set up for a fall and the Commander really gave you everything he could. Fielding will be more useful to the lines of questions you have, I'm sure. Things you may have glanced over I placed into Shari's dialogue as aside comments, so you haven't missed anything important.<br/><br/>Though keep pulling at the strings, it's fun to me to tighten things up and answer if I can do. :)"

A stateroom is essentially a 10' cube, with a single bed on one side of the room (yes, I am ruling though the rooms are single occupancy, the bed is just big enough to comfortably fit a pair if they stay close  ;) ). Usually a stateroom will also have a fold-out desk and chair attached to the wall that can fold away and handily gives a small work space for the occupant.<br/>Also in every stateroom there is usually a fresher, which is essentially an en-suite shower/toilet cubicle and takes a 5'x5' corner of the room. Y'see, even with artificial gravity provided by the gravity ring, it still comes up to be around Lunar gravity. A fresher on a ship works as the water comes down and floats about, hitting and bouncing off the walls to do a kind of all-over shower when it is turned on. A crewmember also has a toilet in the cubicle (so yes, in theory you could shower whilst on the loo... ^^;). I like to think of it as similar to the fold-out toilet Mal used in his cabin in that one episode of Firefly.<br/><br/>The room itself is actually pretty nice, though better socialising can be done in the Mess Hall, which has three two-seater tables as you can see on the deckplan over on p.1 of this very thread. Only so many people can stand about in a stateroom without it getting a bit cosy in there, y'see.<br/><br/>So feel free to consider these points when your characters take a look at their claimed bunks. ^^"

My other reason for thinking such a thing is a great idea is because, well... I'm sure there are players here who'd like to write some adult scenes with another member of the crew and this can be done outside the main IC thread to keep it plot-relevant and nod bog it down to much.<br/><br/>There's also PM rp if others would like to do that as an option too.<br/><br/>So, everyone feel free to discuss such things with each other and also let me know here or in PM if you'd like to do solo scenes (as in your character alone in a specific situation without the rest of the crew) or heaven forbid, someone would want to jump Danny's bones...  ::)"

Bending his knees, he pushed his buttocks back, tightening the grip on the noosed belt around the base of his cock. The belt ran under his balls, deep into the crack of his ass, up his back and the end tied to the bedpost of his bed. He looked down and looked at his head bulge with blood, his balls squeezing with semen. Blare looked up, and looked up longingly at his inspiration.<br/><br/>Thus was Blare Ortiz’s after school ritual. Thankfully he was a latch-key kid, his single Mom coming home deep into five in the afternoon. This gave him so much time to run around naked in the house, rubbing his cock on everything, humping the floor, shoving miscellaneous objects up his anus (he liked the produce section the best). Throughout it all he masterbated, masterbated hard, spilling his seed into the toilet, socks, paper towels (when he got to them), or used towels.<br/><br/>But the belt-bed frame ritual was his favorite, saved for special occasion like now when he made it out of his mid-terms without a significant fight. He liked the pressure, loved the sensation of being tied up and bulging. Over the head of his bed, stuck with scotch-tape and hope, hung the class-poster of this year’s class of St. Marquis School for Gifted Deviants- 75 students in uniform most of them bulging out of their pants or shirts.<br/><br/>Focusing on a bulge or a cleavage he started to slowly stroke himself, wondering if he would amass the courage to shove something real up his butt. The thought alone made his cock leak just a bit. With that he rowed even harder, pushing himself so back he thought his genitals would burst.<br/><br/>Of course, right then and there, the doorbell rang..."

Blare painted eyeliner on his almond brown eyes, blushed his full cheeks, and reddened his puckered abundant lips. He pulled his flat pecs together, thinking to improve the cleavage. He really liked how free his hard cock felt in the squirt, and ran off from the bathroom forgetting to put on any underwear.<br/><br/>Opening the front door as a girl was thrilling, though he knew the purpose was to see naked girls anyway.

In the event of a Critical Hold Strength (even Domination, in my mind), a natural 20 on escaping still succeeds. That was mostly taking criticals out of the picture.

A fortnight ago each of you had been called from wherever you had been in the Inner system, whether some of you were together or some were alone to report to Mars and the Warden Commander of Martian space, Antoine Shari. As you enter the waiting room to his office, you can see a small desk where Antoine's assistant sits and then a large flexscreen recording the outside view from the space station, acting as a wide window. It takes up near the entire left wall as you walk in. The view out of the window is a breathtaking one. The planet Mars sits far below, its high, rough mountains and deep canyons evident even from orbit.<br/><br/>Clouds, thicker than they were just a decade ago, drift slowly across the world, betraying the hand of mankind in turning this cold desert world into a place that is almost pleasant. Here and there, the normally rust-red surface takes on a decidedly green hue where hardy transplanted genetically-engineered plants begin to take hold. As the small disk that is the sun begins to slide behind the planet, you can even see that the atmosphere has begun to take on a bluish tinge, though it has a long way to go before anyone will consider it truly Earth-like.<br/><br/>There are seats in the waiting area. You have heard rumours you're not the only ones called in to the station. A Warden Captain, Daniel Freeman has been noted to have been called in as you noted the attendees for this specific appointment upon arrival. You have no idea why you were called to Mars though, however when a Commander of a region of space wants to talk to you about something and expects a swift arrival, it is likely something important. It may be a short wait before Commander Shari speaks with you and Captain Freeman has yet to arrive, so now would be a pretty good time to break the ice and get talking to each other..."

She had completed three months of Warden training and, it seemed, that was enough for her to be suitable to be called away for whatever was going to happen here at Mars. The Eye had been an interesting experience for her - seeing Earth for the first time was quite eye-opening, as she had been born and grown up on Saturn and never been in past the asteroid belt before this. As much as humans had spread around the galaxy now, Earth was where they had started, and where all of the history of humanity had come from, so it held that interest to her. She hadn't been able to set foot on it, but she had spent a lot of time looking at it from the Eye as she was familiarised with the Warden operations and what her role would be like in her new job.<br/><br/>And now here she was, called in for what she hoped would be her first mission. She ached to be able to be in the pilot's seat again, there was something about controlling a ship that made her feel alive, like it was an extension of her body and she could go higher or faster than her weak human form could ever aspire to. Three months on the Eye had given her a bit of cabin fever, not being on a ship for that long gave her very itchy feet to get out and get flying.<br/><br/>The Mars space station certainly wasn't the Eye, but the view that it had of Mars was quite amazing. As Evie entered the waiting room, she seemed to be the first to arrive, and she took a seat opposite the huge window, and just took in the view. She pushed her hair behind her ear and placed her hands in the pockets of her thick jacket - she had been informed that Mars was cold, and as much as they would have Environmental Suits at the surface, she had brought an extra warm jacket for extra insulation.<br/><br/>Now all she had to do was wait - but she was full of nervous excitement for her first mission."

Images of Mars and pertinent facts about the planet and it’s environment scrolling across the surface of the thin screen.<br/><br/>The last six months she had been aboard the EYE, the main Warden facility that orbited above Earth training. She knew now why there were Wardens, what they did. Was it really that much different than what she had done before as part of the UWC Defense Forces, on the surface not really, though the threats had changed from ordinary to bizarre. Her thoughts flicking back to the ‘thing’ the Myriad Xenomorph that had ruined her last UWCDF mission; that had killed almost the entire squad. With a soft exhale she opened her eyes again.  Briefly glancing at the other passengers across from her. Other wardens dressed in standard duty uniforms, they all looked like support personnel.<br/><br/>She did like the standard duty uniforms, the black the red piping and accents. They were good colors, and they looked imposing, mysterious… Wardens were all about mystery. Without a word she killed the power and collapsed the screen the film sagging briefly as it retracted back in the base. The resulting slender black rectangle quickly shoved into a convenient long narrow pocket on her right hip. She looked even more imposing dressed in Warden field armor, it sported the same black and red color scheme except hers was made of layers of ballistic polymer and carbide armor composite. Still it was sleek, hugging her lithe form letting her move freely which was necessary in combat especially close combat. After being cooped up Warden Prime it would be good to be back into the field, to put to use what’s she learned in the last six months…to get some retribution.<br/><br/>The cabin suddenly much brighter as the landing ramp opened the back half of the shuttle seeming to split apart as the ramp descended. Light form the shuttle bay spilling in as she reached under her jump seat to gather her kit bag and another longer narrow ridged case that she slung over her shoulder. Her booted foot hitting the hanger deck  a moment after the ramp made contact. She paused for a moment to gain her bearings then headed off towards the central core.<br/><br/>Fifteen minutes later she stepped out into the main hall her armored boots clicking softly as she made her way to the Warden Commanders office. The doors opening as she stepped inside her eyes already scanning right and left as she entered as she noted Evie and Mei Li the Commanders assistant as well as the rooms other entrances, her gaze barely noting the window like view of the red planet below as she stopped just before the assistant’s desk, snapping to attention, right hand snapping up in a reflexive salute.<strong>“Agent Yagami reporting as ordered.”</strong>She clipped out as her hand dropped back to her side. Some part of her reminding herself that the Wardens were far more…lax in regards to formal military protocol.<br/><br/>The Assistant nodding as she looked up. Her stylus marking the flex screen before her as she smiled politely.<strong>""No need to be so formal Agent, please have a seat the Commander will see you shortly.""</strong><br/><br/><strong>“Hai.”</strong>Karasu replied, turning on her heel as her eyes once again briefly moved to the blond woman also waiting in the outer office. She was pretty, and dressed in cold weather gear, well at least the jacket. Was she headed to Mars as well? The idle thought popping in her head as she crossed to one of the empty chairs that occupied the wall  opposite the assistant’s desk. She glanced over to the other woman. While the blond was pretty, the dark haired woman was gorgeous. Her crisp white and blue trimmed uniform marked her as Medical staff, a doctor given the emblem on her crisp white jacket.  Were they were they part of the new unit? She dropped into an empty chair, her arms crossing as she leaned back in the chair her legs extended out. The assistant’s head already back down looking at her work. The Doctor seemingly board with sitting in the room waiting. The Blond seemed to be distracted by the image of Mars.<br/>She closed her eyes and softly exhaled, not quite a sigh, more to just relax. She had expected to be assigned to an existing unit then receive her ‘first’ mission. Though it seemed that the Wardens were either creating an ad-hoc unit or were forming a new unit altogether.

Her battered form was something written in history now – the scripture of a full life written directly upon her flesh. Every scar told a story, every scar was a testament to her ability to persevere. Glacial hues peered out into the black listlessly, more interested in the vacant stars billions upon billions of light years away than the rusted grave yard directly below them.<br/><br/>Her elbow was propped upon the window’s ledge, giving support to the knuckles lining her jaw where it sat. Every new arrival or exit was caught on a glance from her peripheral – ever vigilant thanks to the undiagnosed PTSD that clung heavy to her since the loss of her entire crew on her last mission. Even the humanoids were suspect and gained more than just a short once over in the end – although the gold mirrored pair of aviators did well enough to hide that little factor.<br/><br/>In the ear facing away from the general masses was something akin to the modern day blue tooth and just as most little devices were good for this one was being used to play off a large array of different songs kept in the database of her wristcom. It definitely had to do with the subtle bobs of her head every once in a while, as well as the way her cracked lips seemed to wordlessly chant to some unheard mantra. Perhaps she wasn’t trying to cast some sort of dark demonic spell to summon hellfire and brimstone upon them after all.<br/><br/>While the others seemed keen to appear in uniform, Jay seemed to be sporting every day civilian clothes weren’t it for the ash blue coveralls that held snug to her hips. The upper half of those coveralls were left folded off her shoulders and into the waist band loosely, allowing the majority of it to hang loosely about her thighs. There was a backpack of knickknacks she’d brought along sitting in the seat beside her, one of the pull straps rolling between her fingertips as she toyed with it idly. For once she wasn’t rearing for action, for once she was actually glad she’d be joining as cleanup crew rather than one of the investigative squad. For once, her rank didn’t even matter and she even found herself relieved not to hold the burden of one. They could take all the time they wanted to send these people to their deaths.<br/>"

She kept a poker face, not knowing which way to react to him yet; had he busted out and escaped? Or was he here as his punishment? She didn't think he would have escaped and then still come up to her and addressed her as Officer - that didn't make sense. Still, she would have to be on her guard.

""Yeah, uh, we've met,"" she replied carefully, not wanting the whole crew to know that Eric was a convicted criminal as of just a few months ago. It wasn't her place to influence their opinion of him, at least not until she had more of a grasp on the reason he was here. ""My name's Evie, it's nice to meet you, Mei-Li."" She took the other woman's hand and shook it with a warm, genuine smile. One of the reasons that Evie had been so good at her job as an undercover cop was that she gave all of herself to people when she interacted with them - she had a way of making people feel like she was on side with them, and making them feel like she valued them. This was generally the case, too - she saw value in people often that they didn't know they had. Of course sometimes in her job she had had to befriend people to eventually turn them in - and that had been difficult for her to deal with emotionally.<br/><br/>Two more men entered in the meantime. One of them Evie actually recognised - what were the odds of her knowing two other people on the team, out of all the people in the solar system?! The other seemed to be Freeman, who the other young woman had referred to as the Captain. He had an odd sort of swagger to him. The first man, Zaine, Evie watched somewhat warily - he had been the first Warden she had ever met, and while Evie had been helping his team on Saturn's moons, she had seen him do some things that had chilled her. He had executed some people without so much as flinching, which had made her quite uncomfortable. He had also been the one who had given her the opportunity to join up with the Wardens in the first place, though, so she felt gratitude to him as well. So she was grateful to him, but also wary of what he was capable of.<br/><br/>Mei-Li certainly was a beautiful woman; Evie was happy to admit that her interests went both ways as far as men and women were concerned, and Mei-Li was definitely a stunner. Of course emotional connections were far more attractive than physical beauty, though, so this wouldn't influence any of her actions around the doctor. At this point she turned back to Eric who mentioned that he had gotten a new job - he was clearly refraining from talking about the arrest and why she would expect him to be serving a jail term at the moment. She did pick up his bitterness, and suspected that there he had some resentment of her, which she supposed she could understand. Still, she resolved to try and ask him about what had happened between the arrest and his appearance here - but not now, in front of everyone. She would let him make his own impressions on people, rather than forcing them.<br/><br/>""That's good to hear. So are you a part of this team, then? What's your role?"" she asked him refraining from asking if it was something to do with drones. ""And you, Mei-Li? Are you the team doctor?"" she asked, wanting to make sure rather than just assume from the uniform."

Old habits died hard, after all...You didn't grow up in a corporate enclave without being<em>very</em>conscious of hierarchy - At all times. Another thing to get used to.<br/><br/>Her slim fingers brushed lightly against the emblem pinned to her left breast; ""-I'm pulling double-duty as the Science Officer, too...But there's less call for that than you'd think."" Well, maybe<em>that</em>was a bit of an exaggeration - But the truth would be faintly alarming at this point. No need to worry the others, just yet.<br/><br/>Mei-Li's gaze took in the room, her lips curving in a thoughtful pout - ""My, it looks like you two aren't the only ones with history..."" she mused aloud, a contemplative note to her husky-sweet voice; Though the Captain and...Jay, if she'd heard correctly...seemed to be on rather better terms. At any rate, the others certainly looked like they knew how to handle themselves in a scrap...Something that was<em>always</em>reassuring. After all, the rough stuff had<em>never</em>been her forte."

He grinned and chuckled as before lifting his wrist and looking at the wrist comp strapped to it.  It was an older model that looked like it had gone through a lot of use and modification.<br/><br/>He looked out the view screen but he didn't focus on the planet below them. Instead he watched the space around it as he looked for any of the rocks that remained from the moon that used to orbit the planet. He looked back at Daniel when he spoke of one of Jay's guy who turned out to be gay and tried to hide a laugh with a bad fake cough. ""Ya thats pretty bad luck on your part but then again he should have stuck to what he liked. Then again dating wasn't as big out in the rim. tight quarters and isolated populations made for... different customs I guess."" He was still smiling but as he looked away back at the view of mars the smile tightened to one that he working to keep. Zaine had been able to stop thinking about his home for the last couple of years as his assignments had moved farther into the inner system and he was fine with that for the most part. It made life a little easier on him.<br/>"

Your arrival here at Mars is recent and you didn’t even think the Warden-Commander knew who you were – though in hindsight that was probably a foolish assumption. Even with the relatively loose command structure of the Wardens, it is unlikely that the senior Warden in the region is not going to know what assets may be available to him – even if only temporarily.<br/><br/>Inside the office, you see Warden-Commander Antoine Shari. He is a relatively unassuming Malaysian man with a face that you would be hard-pressed to pick out of a crowd, and a physique that speaks of some years behind a desk. Even so, he is known for his sharp wit and mind, and seems to always be aware of anything of note that occurs in the inner-system.<br/><br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/74/Shari_void.jpg)<br/><br/>Some rumors say that Shari has direct ties with 4G Enterprises, who help feed him the intelligence he always seems to have at hand. 4G Enterprises is the conglomerate that formed from Venture Corp, the company who originally settled the lunar base more than a hundred years prior. This was in a time before the invention of the Transit Drive, before the Cadaceus Network linking all the colonies communication networks, at a time when travel to the moon was a big thing that took time still. Six years ago 4G celebrated one hundred years since their first successful mining operation returned from the Asteroid Belt and they started the time of the frontierism of the system.<br/><br/>“Welcome to Mars,” Shari spoke, as he stood from behind his desk. “I do apologize for the unexpected summons, but there is something I need looked into.” On the large viewscreen behind him that acts partly as his own office window and also partly as a TV screen is an aerial view of Mars. You recognize the massive canyon as Coprates Chasma.<br/><br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/19/Coprates_Chasma.jpg)<br/><br/>The office has already been equipped with enough seats for each of you in the crew to sit as Shari speaks to you. As he moves from out behind his desk to stand before where his viewscreen is, he gestures for you all to take a seat if you wish. It seems once everyone is settled, the briefing shall begin."

The walls of the canyon look to be nearly vertical and, as your viewpoint continues to dive into the depths of the massive natural fissure, it gets notably dark. After a few moments of darkness, lights can be seen in the distance. Then, only seconds later, the silhouettes of buildings come into view. The motion on the screen finally slows to a stop just outside what appears to be a small town on a northern wall of the chasm. Once more Antoine speaks, “And this is Presidia. It is a small insular community of independent miners and their families.""<br/><br/>""It is also home to a couple of atmospheric processor maintenance teams, some merchants, and mechanics.” The older Warden pauses to wave his hand dismissively in the air, “and all the other rabble you can expect to find in such an isolated location.” It seems he holds onto more coreward upper class views of those who have to make-do with making their living on such a desolate world compared to more corporate living closer to the Sun. On the screen, statistics begin to scroll down one side of the image. They show the pertinent information about the community: population, town leaders, minerals and ores that are mined in the region and so on – all-in-all dry and uninteresting.<br/><br/>Some numbers that do show up are that Presidia has a registered population of 900 people and the colony was settled pretty much 20 years ago as a corporate mining venture. The intial colony was settled on the lip of the canyon though after having many structures get destroyed by tornados, it was relocated to the bottom of the canyon 17 years ago, where the colony has been ever since. Corporate sponsorship was pulled just over 13 years ago due to lack of profit, though the colonists stayed as an independant small mining colony, sustaining themselves.<br/><br/>“The community is not known to be welcoming. They don’t like outsiders and especially dislike anyone who may represent the authority of Mars. Frankly, it raised some eyebrows when a request for help was received.” Shari commented once the view settled on a general slow sweeping flyby of the town. The lighting of the area through lamp-posts and other fittings gives the area a dark violet-blue/grey and cloudy Earth sunset, though the time-stamp states it is the middle of the day for Mars for this particular vid-feed. Shari takes a brief pause in speaking as he presses the touch screen of his wristcomm to move the briefing to the next part..."

Looking at all of you, the Warden-Commander says, “I don't know if this is anything for us to worry about here, but Presidia is essentially deep under the surface of the planet. It could be that their mining has stirred something up that we need to deal with before things get worse.

When operations were in the red, it was - paradoxically - usually better to keep things going rather than face the expense of shutting it down...Which was why you had a slow death spiral over a decade or two, until the last of the crew was shipped off, leaving only indie prospectors willing to risk life, limb and sanity in crumbling conditions...<br/><br/>The violet-haired beauty allowed herself a decorous shudder at the thought.

Everything - *everything* - was reused, one way or another...Besides, where *was* there to go?<br/><br/>Maybe it was gravity sickness...No, the effects would be more widespread. Her stylus scratched against her personal reader's screen, as she made notes - Some kind of mass paranoia, possibly triggered by claustrophobia or a deteriorating air mix? No, it didn't feel like that, either...But she'd have to hope for the best, and make sure the ship was equipped accordingly.<br/><br/>She cleared her throat, lifting her stylus for attention - Her brow furrowed, her expression thoughtful.<br/><br/>""...Do we know how<em>many</em>people have gone missing?"" she inquired, brushing stray strands of hair back from her cheek. ""More - How long have they been gone?"" Her question lingered in the air, with the grim arithmetic evident - If it was an extended length of time...Given the conditions, she wouldn't hold out<em>too</em>much hope of locating survivors, though she'd keep *that* to herself for now.<br/>"

He hesitated for a second as he racked his brain for the right response before he stood and did his best copy her bow. ""Yagami-san, I hope thats right but Zaine is best. You know formality is not my best subject."" He had found teaching Miyako an eye opening experience and often found that he would learn something more about the culture she grew up in each time they interacted whether it was in his class or if it was when they were training on the range. ""I must have missed you on the shuttle, then again I was in my own world trying to catch up. You know me still trying to get used to anything larger than an asteroid or a small moon."" He grinned and chuckled at his own words he had used as his excuse for not knowing something simple about the planets of the inner system since he had met Miyako. He glanced at Jay as she spoke of Jessica again and after raising an eyebrow at her words just shrugged and said. ""As long as she is happy I can't see a reason for me to have an opinion on her choices."" He did laugh softly as she explained the circumstances of the date. ""Well it sounds like it turned out to me more entertaining to you and the captain.""<br/><br/>He was about to sit down as Daniels spoke to him but decided to stay standing and nodded. Zaine opened his mouth to respond but was distracted by the assistant as they let them know that the commander would see them now. He followed Miyako into the commanders office taking a seat beside her.  He busied himself with his wrist comp as he brought up some information on the Coprates Chasma. Zaine had continued to read up on the chasma and any incidents that had taken place nearby as the briefing had started but he looked up as the commander started to describe Presidia. His eyes narrowed and he clenched his jaw as Antoine seemed to dismiss the population as rabble. He had encountered more than a few people who held similar coreward class views which he had rarely encountered out in the belt. He forced himself to relax his jaw and tried to keep his disdain for the man's views off his face as he crossed his arms over his chest and listened to the rest of the briefing.<br/><br/>Zaine looked over at Karasu as she saluted and couldn't help but smile a bit. ""Old habits die hard I see."" He didn't wait to see her reaction as he turned his head to look at the women he suspected would be there doctor or medic on this mission. He nodded in agreement with her question knowing that he would want to know as much as he could before they went to the surface.  He held his tongue and waited for a few others in the group to ask their questions since they all seemed to ask what he wanted to know. He cleared his throat as when Jay pointed out that the locals probably would not have shared their records of most of the people in the outpost. ""Have we contacted the parent corporation for the outpost. Even if citizens in Presidia their records are only thirteen years old they should have files of the majority of the population. The community should not have gained many new citizens if they are as insular as you say."" He had to chew on the inside of his cheek to stop himself from bringing up the man's apparent views of the people living in the community. He glanced down at his wrist com and started a download of any information he thought might be relevant once they got to the ground.<br/><br/><br/>"

There was nothing unusual they were sent in for, if that is why you were asking. The Coprates Chasma is located right smack in the Martian Outback...

Good questions, and some that she had had as well. ""Do you know if there were any signs of a struggle when the people went missing?"" she asked. The question behind the question was whether they were taken, or had wandered off of their own volition for some reason. There could be any number of explanations for either outcome.

Shari coughs into his hand, ""<em>Back-births</em>didn't see it fit to give me that information, though perhaps you can help to dig it up."" His expression was far less stern than his words may have otherwise sounded. It seemed he was genuinely stating that doing some digging would help, rather than that was exactly what he was sending them down to Mars to do to begin with.<br/><br/>He then looked over to Zaine, ""You can likely check the network databases for the population numbers and files, though remember there are 900 people on average and we do not know who has gone missing from them yet. That's also considering that none of the younger children were taken too. What I can share about the 4G staff is that the vid of the Sheriff you just saw, he is Joseph Fielding and he was originally a security officer of 20 years experience before he was sent with the initial miners to Presidia. He obviously stayed behind as their lawman when 4G left them to it. Had a reputation for being somewhat hard-nosed, called up for undue force more than once... Though he was never formally charged in his durance.""<br/><br/>""No, Evie... I do not know if there was a struggle. I would guess though from what I know that the people just vanished. So... I'd guess there were no signs of struggle when anyone went missing. Crime levels in the town are surprisingly low, you see. There are reports of petty theft and brawls, though it's rare when something bigger than that occurs. Usually a little town like this will attract the type who want to get off the grid, though the people of Presidia are known to not tolerate anyone who would bring in outside law to their town... And in fact there is no known wanted criminal hiding out there. Thus with the Sheriff making a vid-message and for such a reason... I felt this worth checking out."" Shari replied to the pretty blonde.<br/><br/>Shari finally moved to address Eric, ""Eric... What I know of Presidia is that there are numerous groups that mine places separately, spread out from the town. They have a single smelter there, which the miners use and maintain so they can sell off more pure and cost efficient products to other colonies in the system. They likely have a few Camel-class cargo shuttles to take up cargo to a Perth Bulk Freighter or two. I would also say the venture is fairly sustainable, they have been independent for over a decade now and not only do they gain hard cash from their ventures but they also barter for supplies to keep things running.<br/><br/>""They have maintenance crews there in the town, atmosphere processors are nearby and so they likely have some links there. I'd say it is more likely they have deals with companies, most colonized planets have some corporate-links acting as local government. Presidia likely has a little finger in many, many pies... Though remember it's a small town that still barters for supplies. They don't think much of government types and they're trying to just get by and be independent survival types."" Shari looked at the crew, ""That's all the information I can give you. When you are ready, you are free to move to the spaceport of the station and board your Knight's Errant ship to go dirtside. Once more, good hunting and watch your backs."" Shari finished, gesturing a hand to the door of his office."

He seemed pretty relaxed as a captain, which she felt was a good thing, especially as he also seemed to have a good grasp of planning and strategy. She didn't really know enough about him to make a judgement yet, but her first impressions were solid, and she often trusted her first impressions and gut instincts when meeting people.<br/><br/>When it came to theories about what was going on down there, Evie really had no idea. Her main thought was that there was something living down there that was taking people - but there was also the option that something was causing people to go mad and wander off on their own. Either external, or internal, and there really wasn't much at this point to indicate one way or the other. She suspected external, as it had affected pets as well as people, but really there wasn't enough data to make a sound judgement at this point. She knew she was likely to be one of the people who would be chatting to people in Presidia to find out more information about what was going on, as it was a particular gift of hers; she would have to think on the right questions to ask to find out what she needed to know.<br/><br/>Danny seemed to think that she and Eric would have problems working together. Eric did seem to be a little hostile towards her, but Evie wasn't one to hold on to that kind of thing; she would always seek to be the first to hold out an olive branch. She spoke up in a friendly tone. ""Oh, don't worry about us, Cap'n. The past is the past. I'll get us down there safely, it'll be a piece of cake, especially if Eric is as good an astrogator as you say."" She had a fair amount of skill in astrogation as well, but if he proved that he was better in that area than she was (and made good decisions with that skill) then she would appreciate his navigation.<br/><br/>As the ship came into sight, she immediately identified it in her head as a Knight's Errant, and ran through some of the ships specifications that she knew of. She had flown one once before and it had been a joy to fly, much more intuitive than some other spacecraft. A smile came to her face as soon as she ship came into sight - it was clear that the blonde just loved being around ships."

He did take the time to look over the other members of the team meaning to give them all his attention but he kept glancing at Jay. He didn't know what it was about her but something had changed as soon as he had entered the room, he just could not place it. HIs attention turned to Danny as he spoke and as he signaled for them to leave the room he headed for the door to retrieve his bag from where he had left it by the view screen. He fell into step beside Karasu.<br/><br/>The captains question had him rolling his eyes. Theories more like wild guesses if even that. They didn't have enough information at the moment to really be able to guess but even so he cleared his throat before speaking up. ""Theory isn't the word I would use at this point but the fact that they are a mining out post that is already located far below the surface my guess would be that they either woke something up or have been exposed to some agent that is affecting whatever organisms it comes in contact with."" He paused reaching up to his neck to scratch at the scar tissue as he thought before adding. ""I would like to say that a cult is ruled out by the fact that is pretty close to being a closed community but those bastards seem to be able to hide anywhere. The last time I dealt with them was on one of Saturn's moons."" He glanced at Evie remembering that had been the mission that he had met her. He gave her a grim smirk before looking forward again as he added. ""They would probably the simplest of things to deal with though. One well placed shot and they are dealt with but they are a pain to root out first."" He never liked dealing with Cultists, to him they were worse than even the Karrak'in which would eat ships and anything inside them. Those at least were just  doing what they evolved to do. Cultists on the other hand were betraying their race which just seem wrong. ""But like I said I wouldn't call that a theory just guess work for now.""<br/><br/>Zaine saw Mei-Li's look as she looked around the group and was about to drush it off as unimportant but after a moment he started to think about it as he glanced around then smirked slightly. ""We might be able to pass as a freelance merchant crew. I don't know about you but I was not born a warden. So we have an engineer."" He pointed to himself then hooked a finger at Karasu, ""some muscle and a janitor."" He nodded in Jays direction before shrugging with a slight smile. ""If we wanted a cover it would be pretty easy to pass off weapons as personal protection in a town like this if I am far off the mark.""<br/><br/><br/>When he heard the hiss and felt the breeze of equalizing pressure he smiled feeling completely at home as he stepped onto the ship. He knew intellectually that a space station and a ship had very few differences but there was something about being on a ship that was different than even the smallest of stations."

He nodded to Evie, ""Good stuff. The ship goes up to 4G of thrust and has 8G hours of fuel... But a simple thrust at a lower G for accel and deccel will be fine."" The ship wouldn't be much more than the vehicle to take them down to the planet for now, though if they had a reason to keep together in the ship after this mission, it would essentially act essentially as the home for the crew as they travelled the system to where ever would be next. There were three airlocks on the Knight Errant class.<br/><br/>There were two either side at the rear of the ship, past the gravity wheel and led directly into Engineering. The crew entered the Main Airlock, which opened into the main corridor of the ship, three doors were down it's length, the one closest and opposite the airlock was marked as 'BRIDGE & SENSORS'. A door to their left at the corridor's one end was marked 'WEAPON CONTROL + BRIDGE ACCESS'. The ship had no gravity, though the grav-plates were on and hummed lightly, pulling at the metallic threads in everybody's clothes to form enough pull to make a pretend 1G on their bodies.<br/><br/>""Zaine, you make some good points... Sucks to not know much, but I agree one of those reasons seems fairly likely. We'll have breather masks to get by down there... Maybe keep them on 'til we know what we're dealing with? Right... Zaine... As Engineer you go where you feel will be best. We won't be needing the Transit Drive as we're shuttling the ship down. It's built for aerodynamics and reentry, so there is no shuttle aboard. Still, the Manoeuvre Drive is needed and the Fusion Power Plant may need checking over... The ship seems brand new though, so maybe just give the fuel lines a once over and get familiar with the layout there."" Danny then looked back to Mei-Li with a smile; ""Some good thoughts there, Mei-Li... I think at the moment we could probably rule out Cultists as the cause, though I do think maybe we should watch out as we don't know what's happened to those who have gone missing. Anyway Mei, we have two science laboratories on-board in the gravity ring...""<br/><br/>""You and Zaine I'm sure will want to figure who'll be getting what spaces there. Both are the same size, so it's picking whether you want Lab 1, 2 or sharing. Zaine, once you're done with looking over engineering, maybe you want to check out the equipment you have with Mei with her. Mei, we also have an ER and Infirmary on-board in case we come across anything bad and you can put your skills to work. Let me know if you need a hand with anything through your wristcomm. I'm texting all of you my number... Now."" Mei-Li's along with everyone else's wristcomm would alert everyone to a new message from Danny, so they could keep in contact with him across the ship from now on.<br/><br/>""Karasu and Jay... You may want to make yourselves at home... There are ten single occupancy rooms in the grav-ring, so make yourselves at home, pick which rooms you want to drop your gear off in. Everyone has a bed and there's rooms besides. There's also the weapon consoles here too, Karasu..."" Danny thumbed to the door marked Weapon Control. ""We got a railgun and dual-missile launcher, though we won't be needing either for the trip down right now. Still, may be good to get familiar with things in case we get called out to other places and we need to launch some shots off..."" Danny scratched his head full of thick dark hair, ""Okay...

She was pretty much bouncing on her feet like an excited kid as she entered the bridge, even after piloting many ships many times before, she still got excited about being put in charge of a beautiful creation like this. Being able to sit in the pilot's seat and guide a large chunk of metal around always amazed her, but it came intuitively to her and she just adored the feeling of being able to control it at the slightest touch. She very much hoped that they would be using this ship beyond this mission, as well.<br/><br/>She straightaway walked over and inspected the dashboard in front of the pilot's seat.

""...And that just leaves us three then..."" he smiled serenely as he swaggered to the central seat of the three located on the main bridge. Danny smiled at Evie's enthusiasm, ""Yeah... It's a pretty decent design for a ship... Having heatshielding and a streamlined build is really helpful. The controls are the newest top of the line holographics... Takes touchscreen to the next level. It's good to get actual 3D visuals of what we do in here when the ship is drifting and we're manipulating it's acceleration.

Time to take this baby on her maiden flight!"" he grinned as he clipped his seat belt in place and leant the seat backwards. Seeing as the Knight's Errant could make a thrust of 4G (though this was never really used outside of perhaps a pitched battle for a speedy shift to dodge), the seats reclined all the way back (to a laying down position if required) to help the human body take the higher Gs. ""ETD is right now... Eric, make a call over the comms to the Mars station we're heading down...""

""When Eric passes you over the flight plan Evie, let's make this a gentle one... Dab us at 1G for five seconds to accelerate... We're only a few hundred miles above the surface, so using that as initial acceleration and the same to deccelerate, that gives us a nice two hour trip to get cosy."" Just as Dan finished talking Eric had sent the flight path over to Evie's console to guide her. ""Just got a text on the comms issuing permission to take off, Captain..."" Eric spoke.

Every Knight's Errant had this lay out - or at least was supposed too - but every ship had it's own little quirks...  After all, not everything was built in by some automated system and humans were humans - factory defects happened. Even the most minor of defect could tell her what extra maintenance would be needed.

She grunted at herself grouchily as she stretched out and hooked her knees at either side of the hatch while she hung down the pipe to tighten that screw idly. Beautiful ship.<br/>"

He looked at the time on his wristcomm, Evie would be deccelerating the ship soon. ""Okay, time to put her back as you found her Jay... Game time is kicking off soon...""<br/><br/>The ship's ride down to the surface of Mars is pretty ordinary. The thickening atmosphere means that the transition from orbit is not like it was a decade ago, but still pretty smooth when compared to Earth or Venus. Two hours after the meeting with the Warden-Commander, the ship lands at the lip of the Coprates Chasma. Danny leads all of you out through the main airlock where you all entered. Outside, the ghostly remains of the old town, long destroyed by especially violent tornados, can still be seen around you. The only intact building is about 100 meters away, sitting on the edge of the canyon.<br/><br/>Inside the building, the crew find a single person. He’s a rough looking local, with a scraggly beard and leathered pale skin. He’s wearing miner’s work clothes and a standard rebreather sits on a nearby table. The name on the tag sitting on his clothes reads 'Albert Vogler', it's fairly clear he's a local miner taking his shift on the elevator. He’s in a less than stellar mood and looking like he'd much rather be anywhere else but up here. He keeps peering down at a viewscreen at the mining sites down below and sighing to himself. A second person is stood near the entrance of this building near Albert, being ignored by the old miner.<br/><br/>The man has medium length dark hair and is in a Warden Body-suit, same as many of the crew are wearing.<strong>This second man is Liam</strong>, an agent who was dirtside and has recently finished a Mission he was on. As such he was sent as backup to aid the rest of the crew here. The elevator controls are sat on the other side of Albert and he is being slightly dismissive, he takes one look up at the crew, grunts as a greeting and goes back to looking at the viewscreen without a single word. Liam would know this man has done the exact same with him and has not exchanged a word since then."

Instead she slipped on her flak-suit beneath her coveralls, giving her a somewhat bulkier look but for those that didn't know her she wouldn't really stand out. A combat knife was holstered to her hip with her utility belt, a second combat knife slipped into a slot special made within her boots. Her pistols was strapped to her thigh quick draw style, something she felt these locals could appreciate. She knew they were supposed to go in with a friendlier aura about them but these were<i>miners</i>, hardy working folk that defended themselves just as much as their land. If they all walked in like a bunch of modern city slickers full of false cheeriness they'd lose respect fast.<i>Know your audience.</i><br/><br/>The grunted greeting they received from the miner caused a quirk in her lips, a small lopsided grin forming as she eyed the man with instant appreciation.

Those glacial hues glittered with a subtle mirth beneath the veil of her gold-mirrored aviators.<br/><br/>Liam’s greeting, however, instantly wiped that smile from her face. ”…’<i>Sup</i>’?..” She repeated blandly, a slender brow lofting incredulously. She had half a mind to ask him if he was sixteen years old… Instead the woman chose that moment to drift off into another land, shrugging her way past her crewmates to offer a scarred hand permanently stained with the grime of her line of work to Albert Vogler. “Jay Asarde, and you might be?” She clearly didn’t care if his hands were dirty either.<br/>"

It's almost as if the sun doesn't exist down here.<br/><br/>Despite the nocturnal environment, the town itself is as alive and active as any small colony on the surface. There are families around the colony that are going about their respective business. The town's sole ore processor emits a constant low frequency drone that anyone in the street is going to have to talk over. From your current perspective, you can see that Presidia has a single main street that runs directly away from the elevator. Buildings line either side of the street, with a couple of smaller streets leading to warehouses or similar buildings. All-in-all a relatively normal mining town, if you ignore the perpetual darkness that cloaks it. Now the main thing to do aside from conversing and learning more from each other was to locate Sheriff Fielding to see what he could shine on the situation the crew have been called in for."

They stood out as these people have coveralls with the very well known logo of 'Martian Terraforming Project' on one shoulder of both their coats and the shirts underneath them.

On the few times he had gone down to earth or was on the Saturn moons he had rarely seen ruins or abandoned buildings. It had been a disconcerting feeling on each time. After growing up on ships where everything was recycled, repaired or traded to other ships that had a use for it. This was by far the largest collection of abandoned buildings. Pulling his gaze away from the ruins he reached down and pickup a stone just before he followed the rest of the team into the elevator building.<br/><br/>He slipped the stone into a pocket  as he turned his attention to the men waiting for them inside. Unzipping his parka revealing the chest plate of his flack suit. There were various images engraved with no real pattern for the choices other than each seemed to either be connected to the wardens or some mythology from a long gone society. The most prominent was a depiction of a Greek shield with the face of medusa carved into its surface.<br/><br/>As the elevator started its decent Zaine took a few minutes to study Liam but could not really decide what to make of the man. Deciding to let things play out he continued to keep quiet and focused on the view offered by the descending elevator. He seemed to relax the deeper they got as he was able to push the fact that they were on  the surface of a planet to the back of his mind and pretend that they were just in a large station of dome. As he relaxed he glanced over at Jay as he realized the sense he had gotten back in the briefing room had been absent while he was on the ship but had returned once they had left. Frowning he reached into the pack that was slung over one shoulder and looked more like an armored shell to retrieve a portable scanner.<br/><br/>He was still running tests to make sure the device was calibrated and working when  the elevator stopped. Stepping outside he brought his face-mask into place as took a few breaths before letting it hang around his neck again. He looked up at Liam's question and was about to answer when he heard Jay say that she was fluent in Asshole. He chuckled softly before speaking up. ""Russian, machines and getting answers out of corpses of the non-human kind."" Slipping the scanner back into his pack he cracked his knuckles before zipping up his parka again and stuffing his hands inside his pockets. ""This would be nice and simple if the miners dug into a cave system but I am not holding my breath that we will be that lucky."" If they were then at least he would have a good place to start looking for what was kidnapping the locals and their pets.<br/><br/><br/>"

""Okay, that's enough bonding, let's do what we're here to get paid for..."" Danny spoke after a beat and looked over to one of the processor maintenance guys walking past the team. Unlike the miners, they didn't seem to be giving the crew a wide berth...<br/><br/>""Hey there..."" Danny started, ""Can you point us to where exactly we can find Sheriff Fielding?"" he asked the random processor guy... The man looked Danny over and answered, ""Huh? Well sure... You can find him over there in the town jail..."" the guy pointed over to a building at the end of the road. ""Cool, thanks..."" Danny replied, ""Hey, by the way... How much do you know about the things reported missing here?"" The guy looked back to Danny and answered again, ""Well, you know some people are going missing now too, right? The miners got a couple of reasons for why things are going as they are... Some think there's someone parked up on the outskirts in the canyon somewhere and picking things off...""<br/><br/>The processor guy rubbed his stubble covered chin and looked up as he thought more, ""Others reckon it's Fielding himself, so as to justify his job here. People here think they're paying him too much through their taxes, seems everyone is generally peaceful here and when something does come up, ain't nothing stopping the wronged party getting their own retribution over the matter... "" the guy spoke finally, pulling his cap brim low so as to keep a low profile as he talked to the Wardens, ""...Others think the people and stuff gone missing is just down to people moving outta here... The life ain't for everyone and some people just build up their nest egg and leave of their own accord...""<br/><br/>The guy shrugged, ""Anyway, Fielding seems a good man. He's just in what he does and there are as many out there that support him and what he does for the community here than those who detract. Y'see, no-one here really wants to be Sheriff, so they leave him to it. Is more people who would rather there be no Sheriff at all and have a few more credits in their pocket than actually hate the guy. Anyway, you can find him at the jail over there..."" once more the guy pointed to the building and made his way off with the rest of his own crew. Danny looked back to the guy and placed his hand up in a wave and a smile and then on to the town jail building.<br/><br/>It's a nondescript looking place and from the end of the street the crew can see it's pretty central in the town with different streets leading off and from to it. The only outward signs that make it look truly different to the other places around are the clear shatterproof windows put up on it and a noticeable security camera that sweeps around, taking in the landscape and the people passing by. ""Alright then... Let's go see what this is all about then, eh?"" Danny spoke and made his way to the building, looking up to the camera as it moved over his head before opening the door to let himself and the rest of the crew inside...<br/><br/>Inside is a small lobby with a single locked security door that leads further in to the building. A young and attractive female deputy sits behind a desk and as the crew enters she eyes them all with a mix of curiosity and suspicion. She smiles as they enter, though it looks fake and practiced and she has an air of aloofness to her."

The odd sense she got from him aside, at least she was trying to be a decent enough person not to stare! Oh, wait, since when the hell was she ever polite? ""That's quite a bit of sigils you got goin' on your armor."" She commented, eying his parka like she was capable of seeing right through it. ""The shield of Perseus."" She motioned towards the spot she knew that symbol lay. ""Worried about reflecting a curse?""<br/><br/>Not that she wasn't paying attention to their Captain's conversation with that maintenance crew. She'd just already ruled out most of what they'd said. Why would the Sherrif call for outside help if he was doing it himself? Furthermore, if it was just people picking up and leaving did that mean that entire families had gone missing overnight without saying a thing..? Or was it just as single individuals? That seemed a bit to convenient but she'd heard stranger things before -<i>much stranger</i>. When they entered the  Town Jail, however, she remained in the back with Zaine where she fell silent - all except whatever conversation she and the man were holding. She was honestly curious to see how the others went about their business.<br/><br/>"

Any conversation that may have been going on stops, as the pair of deputies seem more interested in watching you. You sense the same distrust that was palpable in streets, though here it seems more contained. The initial female deputy has followed behind you and ushers you into the sole office, though she doesn't say anything, it seems clear she's eager to be rid of you.<br/><br/>A rugged looking man, the same you saw on the video stream in the Warden-Commander’s office, sits behind an equally rugged desk, steaming cup of coffee in hand. “Hey Joe, these folk say they’re here at your request,” the deputy says, in a manner more familiar than you would use with one of your own superiors. The Sheriff looks up from the flex screen he was studying and looks at each of you before nodding to the deputy. Without another word, she turns and leaves you alone with the man. “Well, I know I asked for help, but I wasn’t expecting a bunch of Wardens to show up. Never had much dealing with Wardens – too secretive for my taste. But thanks for taking time to come down into the trench. Maybe you can make more sense of things than I can...

Glancing over at Miyako briefly as she took up a position off to the side. Looking back at Jay he spoke low enough that only her and whoever was closest to them would hear. ""Also I had to do something to keep from going crazy when I let the other docs at the eye poke at my third eye."" Chuckling walked the parameter of the room running a bare hand over the walls. He wasn't really paying attention to the room but was instead trying to relax and clear his mind. He was not expecting to pick up anything but it would give him a decent base line that might give him an edge later if he was able to sense something later. He opened his eyes as the deputy buzzed open the security door. Following everyone through the door he slipped his pack off his back and slipped off his parka as they were lead into the sheriff's office. He listened to the man and took a seat pulling out a flex screen and brought up the list of citizens from the settlement at the time of the last census. ""Try visiting the light house and checking out the ship grave yard they are hiding out there."" He spoke softly but deliberately spoke loud enough that everyone would hear him. After a moment he sat up a bit straighter and glanced around then group before making his decision. As far as he was concerned keeping what the wardens do a secret from the general population was fine but when it came to the people in power there was no reason to keep them in the dark, most of the time anyway. ""We are secretive because we deal with the shit that people don't want to know about.

She knew she wasn't anywhere close to the cool, stone-hard lethality of the bounty men (Technically, bounty women, too - but she didn't discriminate!) but she couldn't help but feel that a more friendly approach would be appropriate here...Or least one that didn't ratchet the tension any tighter!<br/><br/>Besides...The Sheriff *was* kind of - solid-looking. Not too bad, she'd think...Which made the fetching smile she flashed him, as she canted her head to the side - Offering a hand - rather more earnest!<br/><br/>""-I'm Lt. Xiang, of the<em>Knight's Errant.</em>We got your priority message; We're eager to help in any way we can.""

He picked his mug of coffee up and had a sip of it, looking over the others. ""Mining ain't my business, son... But lemme get to something you may find interesting...""

""Heh, well I can see who runs the show here... Had me worried for a second!

So things could have started when we had an influx of thefts around six months ago, nothing connected or that made much sense, though it pricked my ears up. I don't have any suspects, certainly no-one in town I can tie down to be involved in this. It's because of that and people jawing that the rumour about a psycho lurking outside town is doing this.""<br/><br/>""I don't believe that though... Ain't no signs of a struggle, no blood or nothing... People just vanish never to be found... Anyway, getting ahead of myself... The pets started to go missing four months ago. We didn't think much of it at first, the animals here have free roam, they soon come back to town at night if they go too far, what with the cold, some don't make it though...

It's like the people just up and left without warning, though I beg to differ people would do that without telling their families and leaving them behind. Now here's the interesting thing... The people missing so far have all been miners last seen at the sites. Because of that, most the sites further out from town have been abandoned 'til all this dies down some and the townsfolk don't think something weird is going on... That's why you're here, solve this mystery and get the miners back to their work. Twelve of the miners have vanished so far."" he pushed his mug to one side and sifted through his desk, pulling a few files out..."

At least the townfolk had the right idea - And at least this would keep them out of the way!<br/><br/>""-We could use both the personnel profiles of the missing miners...And the details of the site, of course.

Her slim shoulders lifted in a little shrug, letting the question hang in the air - ""Two months ago...Did anything happen back then?"" She was still working through it; though she had to admit, it was probably a long shot. Hindsight was 20/20, but if you didn't know what you were looking for...The warning signs would be all too easy to miss!<br/><br/>She'd be careful to avoid any references to killings - or gruesome fates, in general - for now. While she didn't think they'd ever find the miners again...There was no reason to bluntly state the obvious."

As for maps of the place, you can find that easy enough on the Network if you have wrist-comms now you're here on Mars rather than up above.

(Unless he'd been pretty adamant about removing them by that point)<br/><br/>Alright, so.... Animals went missing first. Then humans started to go about two months ago. No bodies found, no signs of struggle.... ""They go missing one at a time? Any, even the animals, go missing as a batch?"" Because if not this could be something as simple as a serial killer finally working his way up to people and splurging or some nitwit moving higher on the food chain for sacrifices. Either way it wasn't good. There being no sign of struggle meant very little, if these were planned out they could have just as easily been tranq'd and hauled off.<br/><br/>If they went as a batch it could be something more wide spread like some kind of illness... Which reminded her.. ""Any of the miners suffer some sort of injury before they disappeared? Were they ever reported behaving abnormally?"" Not all diseases were airborne or spread through simple contact or water. ""Also, were there any strikes going on within the last two years - major or minor.""<br/><br/>When the man dropped a rather large batch of files onto his table she felt both brows lifting incredulously. Who the hell used paper these days?! ""Do you have these files in data format?"" Because she didn't plan to search through it all personally. In the long run she would filter through two categories on what had gone missing - chemical and instrumental (Including robotics). You know, not counting living things...<br/><br/>However the mention of their weapons making it cozy in a lock box had the woman's gaze sharpen considerably - those arctic blues steeling over. ""I'm afraid we can't do that, Sheriff."" She pipped up, her tone just as crisp as her demeanor. ""You have to look out for the safety of yours but I gotta watch out for my own. We got our own codes to abide by, I can't allow them to wander about defenseless in a situation like this.""<br/><br/>A hand lifted from Zaine's shoulder, motioning towards Miyako's SMG. ""However, I can meet you half way. There's no need for anyone to carry around heavier weaponry. We can confine ourselves to blades and pistols, and we will keep them well concealed. Anything more can be taken back to the ship."" She offered and it was about as far as she was willing to go on this deal. She couldn't allow them to leave their weapons with the Sheriff either - not when he and any of his personnel had been ruled out as suspects yet. Although she highly doubted<i>he</i>would have personally called for help if he had anything to do with this situation. Then again, he had to keep appearance going as far as his position was concerned regardless, didn't he?<br/><br/>She had no problem leaving this entire colony to die off if they wanted to be difficult over self defense, especially with those licensed out the ass to hold arms. In the long run if they wanted help and the situation was dire enough to call in the Wardens these people had a choice - they could help them solve this issue and cease further casualties or they could run themselves into the ground and join the other victims in all their self-righteous ignorance. Anyone that openly stood in their way, especially when they were peacefully investigating, would just join the list of confirmed suspects. After all, she'd seen enough crazy shit before that finding out this entire damn colony had something to do with the situation wouldn't really shock her either.<br/><br/>Jay didn't mind coming off as the bad guy, it was what she was good at in the long run. It was exactly what the council wanted.<br/>"

If the town was as rough as they were lead to believe there was a chance that Mei-Le might attract unwanted attention, and not because she was a warden.<br/>Karasu looked back to the sheriff and his Deputies.<br/><br/><strong>""I'll require local civilian clothing as well, preferably something dark hued and with a hood."" <br/></strong><br/>Besides reading through files, and shifting data for patterns and clues were better suited for others on the team...<br/>"

It could stirr up panic and discord far to quickly. After all, how would you react if you started to see the FBI walking around your town asking questions while fully suited up with rifles and SMGs hanging off heir shoulders? You'd be pretty damn terrified, right? You'd think something big was going on, right? She didn't know about anyone else but she'd be leaving for an impromptu vacation if she were a civilian. People would start asking all the wrong questions, rumors would fly about faster than an STD in a frat house and before they knew it they could drive out the very suspect they were trying to find. It would just be<i>bad</i>.<br/><br/>So when Mikyako removed the chip from her SMG and set it on the desk, Jay gave her an appreciative glance despite the woman's less than approving expression. As for wearing civilian clothing she'd never made an attempt to argue that because she frankly thought it was wise. She also thought it was wise that everyone travel in teams.<br/><br/><i>...nothing like injuries or anything like that with the miners, though there was mention of one of the miners that eventually went missing, well after each mining job they'd not go back to the town but wandered in an unusual direction, wasn't to another site either.</i>Jay found herself staring at the Sheriff with that one, but internally she was grinning. The miner wandered off in a random direction, huh? Like maybe...<i>in a trance</i>? ""I'd like the wife's address and name, as well as any of the miners or friends that were with him that day - that you know of."" She murmured as she pulled up her wrist com to enter this personally. The wife would be first on her list for visiting tomorrow.<br/><br/>As for them not being cooperate run. ""Who is commissionin' the miners? Are they lookin' for something specific? Why are the mining operations no longer corporate run?"" Everyone else might be done with asking questions but she wasn't quite there yet. You could bet she'd be asking some of the same questions to just about everyone she talked too.<br/><br/>""Thanks for understanding, Sheriff."" She offered him a faint smile. ""Speaking of ballistics, I'd appreciate if we had access to your ballistics database."" As if she'd really let him have a choice on that one. If they were going to be interviewing a bunch of grouchy miners they should at least know what they're packing.<br/><br/>""Kithcannon,"" Since he was already planning to look through the data himself as well. ""Can you make a list of anything organic, chemical or instrumental that had gone missing from the theft roster? I'll be doing the same, that way if one of us misses something the other might pick it up."" She only waited long enough to get an affirmative or negative from him before she was thanking Dr. Xiang for her initiative on their dressings. However, when she made it to the front desk she made sure to add an additional size or two  to her own. She liked wearing baggier clothing... made it easier to hide her flak jacket.<br/><br/>She also planned to look into what types of animals had most commonly gone missing. When everything was said and done, she was glad that Karasu had volunteered to go with Dr. Xiang - Jay would have otherwise. This freed her up to pester Danny some more. So once they finally waltzed out of the jailhouse, she was creeping up on their resident Captain with her famous shit eatin' grin. ""You must feel like you've hit the jackpot with all these women, Captain Underpants."" She teased from over his shoulder as ominously as she could manage. ""I'mmmaaa tell moooom!"" She sang like the immature brat she was deep down inside - snickering all the while.<br/>"

He grudgingly stopped trying to stand and folded his arms across his chest instead as the sheriff responded to him remarks. He would have to talk to Jay later about her actions. For now though he held his tongue and tried not to look so annoyed when he realized the sheriff didn't believe him. He understood that the wardens did their best to cover up what they did but even then there were leaks. Zaine wondered if the rumors that were started by those leaks just looked more plausible to him because he knew the truth. When the files landed on the desk top with a resounding bang Zaine had to stop his mouth from dropping open. After a few seconds he muttered just loud enough for Jay to hear what he was saying. ""Is he trying to slow us down?"" He quickly shut up and just went back to staying quite until the meeting was over. He waited until Jay had finished with her questions before he spoke up. ""I would like a copy of your most up to date blueprints for the town and the maps of the area as well as the maps for the mine sites."" He paused glancing at his wrist com before looking back at the sheriff and adding. ""I will take a hard copy of those and a digital copy."" Standing he slipped his parka back on and zipped it up to cover his flak suit before grabbing his bag. As he followed Jay out of the jail he stopped by the front desk and requested one of the jackets they had seen on most of the locals. He thought for a moment and adjusted his sizes as well.<br/><br/>As he walked out of the building he started making notes on his wrist com on what he would need to work on. Studying the maps and blueprints for any likely dens or gathering points would be located. After that he decided he would look over the files to see if anything stood out to him.<br/><br/>He looked up and grinned at Jay as she gave them another look at a more innocent side to her. Zaine shook his head and looked around before reaching down and unclipped the holster for his gun and slid them into a pocket of his parka for the time being. ""Should we have left the weapons with the sheriff? I get we don't need to walk around armed to the teeth but I would have preferred to have them close by if we need them."" He kept his voice low enough that it would not travel out of their group.<br/><br/>"

It's in the files and easy enough to spot when you get to the missing persons list. You may get some info from past employers more than the miners on that regard. The employers will have more details on his jobs and can probably point to which direction the guy would wander."" He linked his fingers and crunched them before looking to Jay again, ""Presidia is a freelance colony. We sell what we mine to the Corporations, though we're not run by them. People stay here not because they have a contract, but because they want to mine and earn their credits that way.""<br/><br/>Fielding nodded when asked to hand a copy of the ballistics database over, ""Sure... Though whilst you look at those files, we'll be adding yours to the database too."" He then looked back to Liam, ""No, every pet that's gone off as either come by frozen like a popsicle from the night weather or not shown up again at all."" Fielding then looked to Zaine, ""You can access the maps on the Network, using your wrist-comm. Still, if you don't have access I can get a deputy to download you a copy onto a disc or USB for you."" He looked over the team as a whole, ""Okay, well I guess now you know what I need and you have everything I can give you. The deputies will show you to your place and your clothes will be there waiting.""<br/><br/>Outside of the building, as promised a deputy is waiting and they show you to a building that has rooms for everyone and a large communal living room to discuss and pool resources together. Clothes in the requested sizes are waiting in each room, though the crew can swap around and sleep where ever if wanted. For an initial read through of the notes that night, all the Sheriff had said was true. Unfortunately there are no obvious links between case files for the crew that prove useful, though after scanning through them more carefully, a few are separated out and put to one side. A pattern is becoming evident as the noise is put to one side...<br/><br/>Many of the thefts involve things used in traditional mining operations. Items of note include excavation explosives, shoring frames used to brace unstable tunnels, sonic drills, a portable generator and mundane excavation tools. Also, on two separate occasions, cases of portable batteries that would fit the sonic drill have been reported as stolen. Besides this, two of the missing miners specialize in excavation work, the others are rooky trying to strike out on their own to grizzled veteran miners with no detectable links past their occupation and living in the colony. There are no reported grudges between the miners that have gone missing and there aren't (outside of what Fielding pointed out) any instances of strange behaviour or similar quirks outside of someone that'd want to live off the grid anyway. The one miner that would go wandering was one of the two excavation miners.<br/><br/>The information is extensive though shows Fielding is less trying to slow the crew down than he doesn't want to hide anything from them and wants this sorted out. He clearly wants their help and suspicion is not cast in any particular direction and so the information here is thankfully unbiased for a small insular colony such as this. He has delivered everything as required from the Wardens and as such has proven to be reliable. Finally the weapons not required to be placed in the weapons locker, that the deputies needed for the ballistics database are returned just as they were taken in before the night is done.<br/><br/>The night rolls in and it's up to the crew what they'll do now."

Sitting on the arm of the couch as she raised her right leg to pull her boots over the booties of her warden armor that she wore under her civvies. She'd probably have to use something to cinch the boots tighter, they were just a little big.<br/>She looked over to the room that Mei-Le had picked as she waited for the Doctor to finish dressing for their reconnaissance mission in the town. Miyako continued to adjust her own civilian clothing, the jacket fit well enough over her Warden armor but the grey scarf-hood, combination seemed to have a mind of it's own, still it served it's purpose to conceal combat knives as well as her hold-out pistol and make her look like anything but a warden. Her blades were set horizontally across the small of her back the hilts out to be drawn one to the left and one to the right. Her pistol in a shoulder holster tucked under her left arm, concealed by her wrapped scarf-hood.<br/><br/>She looked over to Liam as he spoke. From what she had overheard from the others as they shifted through the case-files and data that the Sheriff had provided that there seemed to be a lot of mining equipment and even miners that had gone missing. Karasu nodded in agreement to Liam's spoken assessment.<br/><br/><strong>""Perhaps a cult is using the stolen mining equipment and miners to recover something... or free something.""</strong>She said as she pulled her other boot on, her attention turning to her footwear as she shifted her booted feet on the carpet, trying to determine if they were too lose as is.  She paused briefly as she cast about looking for something in the room to use to get her boots to fit better. Her emerald green eyes fixing on a several spare O<sub>2</sub>canisters that were strapped together with large velcro straps.<br/>She shifted off the arm of the couch and peeled them off the canisters before she returned to the arm of the couch and fitted a pair of them into place about each of her to large boots, the ends of the straps hanging off to the sides.<br/><br/><strong>""Maybe the animals are sacrifices to whatever <em>thing</em> the cultists are...serving?""</strong>Miyako offered as she shifted her feet on the floor again, seemingly satisfied with the fix.

She *did* like the boots, which had the reassuring solidity of heavy synthleather - but the rest clearly hadn't been designed for a woman of Mei-Li's curves, which meant that it was *just* a little tight...And probably all the more flattering because of that.<br/><br/>She'd found a simple, off-white shirt, with an earth-toned vest over it - Dyed in dull shades, which was a good way of half-concealing the myriad pockets within it. She'd much rather have a dress, or at least a skirt...But she had to admit, the tight-fitting leggings were rather more practical here. After all, you never knew when you just *might* have to run. Just like pretty much every item of apparel here, it came with a dust-hood - but Mei-Li left it drawn back, slim fingers brushing stray strands of violet hair back from her lovely features as she gave herself the once-over in the mirror!<br/><br/>Her preparations were - Well, comparatively minor. She had her hold-out pistol concealed in a thigh-holster, her compact medikit folded into her vest...But her main nod to protection would be Karasu. After one last look back at herself - resisting the urge to adjust her shirt all over again! - she half-turned, stirred from her reverie by the other woman's words.<br/><br/>""-It's possible,"" she allowed. ""I certainly wouldn't rule it out...Still, it's only one of the<em>many</em>possibilities out there. Then again...This<em>is</em>a small community. Any unusual occurrences like that - you'd think they would stand out."" Unless, of course - came the unbidden thought - they were all in on it. Now *that* wasn't something she liked to think about. No reason to jump at shadows just yet...<br/><br/>""The animals...It *could* be, but I was thinking they might be collateral damage, more than anything else. At least it isn't some kind of contagion..."" Her voice trailed off, as she stepped back out into the room - A little ""Oh my~!"" teased from her lips, her eyes sparkling with approval! Mei-Li had to say - That *was* a slightly eclectic outfit...But the girl looked like she was right at home~! Rather more concealing than she might've expected - which was a good thing, given how she was fairly certain Karasu was packing several times the firepower<em>she</em>was carrying...And rather more casually, too.<br/><br/>A hand came to rest on her curvy hip, as Mei-Li dipped her head in an approving nod - ""You look great,"" she offered, by way of compliment; Really, she felt positively underdressed compared to Karasu! The lovely doctor drew a deep breath, allowing herself a moment to compose herself - ""By-the-by...Have the others found anything, just yet~?""<br/><br/>There was a faint chime, as she keyed her wrist-comm; If possible, she'll do her very best to stay in contact with them. She had a feeling - a<em>bad</em>feeling - that Karasu's guess might be more accurate than she'd initially expected...But she had every intention of getting to the bottom of this.<br/><br/>She favored Liam with a nod of agreement, cupping her chin in slim fingers - ""A<em>serious</em>digging...That leaves the question of *where*.

It was a playful grin though and it was true, there was a bevvy of attractive ladies on the crew and it did seem they'd be staying a few nights down in the colony... ""Hey, if you want to keep your door open for a midnight visit from me Jay, you only gotta say that's what you're doing..."" he grinned before going back to game-face and watching over the crew as they began to settle in and do an initial work over the files that night. Danny was quick to settle in his own room before he did his own bit of work.<br/><br/>His own outfit was a grey woolen beanie to cover his thick dark hair, leaving a lick of fringe to poke out and some wisps behind his ears. A thick military style coat with a high collar kept him warm in the cold weather, coupled with a thick pair of sturdy jeans and some brown coyboy boots with studded bottoms to grip in the icy cold ground when walking around. His pistol was holstered on his shoulder inside the coat and so from the outside he looked physically like most other men in the colony, including the breather hung round the neck for when air got a bit thin after exerting oneself. ""Looks like the Sheriff is legit so far. He may even help us out if we get stonewalled or run into trouble with the locals too."" he announced to the crew as they hung out in the main common living area.<br/><br/>""He was far less arsey than that lady deputy of his anyway... Still they've delivered on our weapons and helping us fit in, shouldn't complain given how things looked when we first arrived..."" Danny continued as he settled down and looked over some of the files himself. Looking over to Liam he gave a nod, ""Yeah, it does seem that way indeed. The animals are the most confusing matter... Its not mine canaries going missing, it's animals like dogs. Of course it could be that the ones that went missing got close to whatever this makeshift mining operation may be. Clearly not everything is mapped if we take all the info into consideration...""<br/><br/>As Miyako entered the room and made her comments, Danny gave a small wave to her and nodded, ""Could be... I think the miners going missing may be to do with that they're being taken, maybe press-ganged into excavating something. The main thing to do will be finding where this is happening and just who or what has taken this stuff and the miners to do it. He thought a little about the comment on the animals, ""Could be... It's hard to really pinpoint at the moment seeing as they went missing before any people did. Though the gear was the first reported getting stolen, so it seems something is out there and wanted to dig up something. A<em>thing</em>being buried could very much be a possibility...""<br/><br/>Danny's eyes popped a little as Mei-Li come into the room, somehow even the miner's clothes looked just as good as her normal white uniform did on her, ""Well seems to be given what we've seen these people want to stick their heads in the sand and hope it'll pass. Fielding seems like the one guy here who's realized they can't sit about and hope this goes away."" Liam's look over the pets going missing shows no real pattern as far as the rate of disappearances, dates-wise he sees that at least Fielding was telling the truth of when they started to go. Danny looked over his crew, ""Okay, so after we finish up these notes tomorrow, we'll kick off following up leads. The night's yours now everyone, feel free to do what you want, carry on working the case, files or whatever and we'll all continue tomorrow."""

His reaction was understandable and would schedule the potential for understanding on both their parts for a later date. When he asked for blueprints she couldn't help but find herself mentally pausing. Smart, she was so focused on narrowing down possibilities that she hadn't even though of cartography. Once they were outside and the man posed yet another good question Jay found herself frowing some, giving a bit of a shrug. ""As you know, my suggestion was to take them back to the ship, but I can understand why they'd leave their weapons closer."" After all, the ship was up an elevator shaft and some walks away. It'd be easier to get to them in the colony. She may not like it but it was the hard truth. She appreciated that Karasu had removed the chip from her SMG, though.<br/><br/>As for Danny. ""You know I never keep my door open."" She snorted at him, taking it just a bit more literal than he meant.. and yet at the same time, the way she winked at him afterwards showed something might just be suggestive behind that comment. Then she was headed into her quarters, likely a shared bunking room with the other two women currently with them.<br/><br/>For a while she sat in her bunk looking through data before she even bothered to change or enter the common room with the rest. She had a strange feeling. While Dr. Xiang seemed keen to rule out contagions, she was not. She knew from experience that there were certain contagions that were more picky about what and who they're spread too - nor did they have to contagions of the 'germ' type. A man was reported walking in a different direction without a thought to it, a particular description that made him almost seem trance-like. There were many occult means for this sort of thing - possession being the first and foremost reason high on her mind. Possession wasn't at all a new concept to he universe and there were records of it as far back as records were even held. She needed more information, however. She needed to hear from his co-workers, employers and wife before she could be sure. There were plenty of signs that could come with it all.<br/><br/>As for all of the missing mining equipment... Well, as far as she was concerned that summed up things nicely. Someone or something could have dug up one of these creatures first.. was possessed.. Perhaps there were more of this thing's family underground, so it stole more things to dig.. Started with allowing them to possess animals first so they didn't trigger to many alarms then moved on to more human prey...<br/><br/>12 people in two months, all miners? She glossed through the list of missing people, looking for the absolute first missing and last missing persons. Then she did the same with the absolute first and last missing animals. When did animals start and stop going missing, especially the one's who's bodies weren't found. She also looked for any missing humans within the last two years, and when exactly more humans when missing at quicker intervals. Then she set her wristcom to create a graph and once Liam was done with his own chart she'd combine the two if he had no objections. Wherever things seemed to cross-section the most would likely be another point of reference for her.<br/><br/>When she was finally done with that initial bit she made it into the common room and found everyone else had already changed.... She blinked at the lot of them in their grungy civilian clothes and she smirked. She really didn't look to out of place with them, in reality. She actually stuck out more amongst them when they were all wearing their Warden uniforms - her in her coveralls. Still those short sleeved coveralls clung to her form loosely, the overcoat she'd initially sported had been left folded on her bed. You should had little tell she had any weaponry on her side the pistol strapped to her right thigh - quick draw style.<br/><br/>She'd just wandered in time to hear their Captain give them the night to themselves and rather than engage in any bar hopping as of yet, the woman glanced between those present and gave a snort. ""If any of you take to one of the local yokels dive bars, be careful what you drink. In places like these they tend to deal more so in local microbrews."" Which had a tendency for higher alcohol content. They loved their moonshine too. With that said she  flashed Doctor Xiang a smile. ""They're looking for their friends."" She chimed in such a way it was hard to tell whether or not she was actually serious - the way she turned and skipped back into her room didn't really help either, did it?<br/><br/>She had more research to do.<br/>"

Her re-breather slung over the shoulder, the mask hanging lose around her neck. First-aid kit on her right thigh, and her survival tool and glow-sticks packed on her left hip. Her hands shifting back to her combat blades, then her right hand slipping under her scarf to touch her ACC-44 Holdout pistol; one + four in the pistol her left reaching up to touch the spare clip of four rounds under her other arm.<br/><br/><strong>“When you are ready Sensei Xiang.”</strong>Karasu said as she moved over to the door out.<br/><br/>Miyako trailed after Mei-Le much like she had done with the Captain, behind and just off to the right. She kept an open com to the team at the safe house and was relaying real-time telemetry to them on her and the Doctor’s location.<br/>Miyako checked her re-breather again as they made their way into the town, off the main avenue that ran out from the cargo elevators that connected the town to the surface. The narrow streets that ran between aged and weathered prefab buildings varied form wide and open to narrow winding paths barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Other buildings were separated by even narrower alley’s, which meant it would be easy to get lost or run into a dead-end.<br/><br/>Many of the prefab buildings, which looked to have been old when setup and many had clearly been re-purposed and repaired numerous times, often in an ad-hock manner that gave the town an eclectic feel. The reddish dust coating everything and swirling into the air when disturbed and not to mention the near constant darkness kept at bay by the huge banks of sodium lights as well as all the smaller building lights. All contributed to the town’s dilapidated and rough appearance. She was surprised how much more dust there seemed to be in the town more than was evident on the surface, and more than she would have expected at the bottom of the canyon. Perhaps it was because they were at the bottom of the canyon. They were almost a kilometer below the surface the atmosphere was denser, so it would support more dust and all the surface dust would be naturally funneled into the canyon. The amount of dust also explained the preponderance of scarves and filter masks the townsfolk sported as they went about their business.<br/><br/>They turned the corner, the flashing red and blue neon lights marked the R&R area of the mining town. The area consisted of a s wide stretch of  street, the  few prefab structures were almost surrounded by smaller structures many little more than cargo containers converted into living places. Most of them all painted in garish colors and festooned with posters and signs proclaiming the various services and items available for sale. The place reminded her of Gurittā tochi, glitter land; a unofficial black market in the under city of the Tokyo archeology where you could get anything if you had the credits and knew the right people. At the end of the street was the largest of the prefab structures. Low and squat the polycreate stained with a dozen prior paint colors, the last  a bright green, the  flashing red and blue  neon sign proclaimed the place as  Romulus and Remus.<br/><br/>Karasu entered the bar first, her hooded head shifting as she scanned the room, exits, layout and people. She continued in shifting to the side as Mei-Le entered behind her.<br/>The bar was one large room, a u shaped bar dominated the center of the room and back wall. The remaining floor space set with tables and chairs, several of which stood out as later replacements. There was a single doorway on the right-hand wall with a sign indicating it was the restrooms. Two doors were set in the left hand wall, both closed and unmarked. There was a set of close set double doors on the far wall to the right side of the bar, that appeared to lead to the kitchen.<br/><br/>Miyako moved to the bar, leaning against it she made eye contact with the bartender. He looked to her like he could be the Sheriff’s brother, or at least relative. The weathered features of someone that's spent their lives outside. Though his hair and beard were grey. She ordered a canned beer, sliding the credits across the bar top as the beverage and glass was produced by the bartender.<br/><strong>“Thank you.”</strong>She said with a polite nod of her head before she half turned, still leaning against the bar. Her sleek form shifting as to keep a better eye on the patrons in the bar as well as the Doctor.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Translate</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Thank you Doctor Xiang.</div></div><br/>"

It was rather reassuring to know that the rest of the crew were only a call away...But not<em>quite</em>as reassuring as the girl following her! The streets were a maze - It looked like parts of the superstructure had collapsed and simply been<em>built over</em>time and time again...And the<em>dust</em>was everywhere. Mei-Li drew her scarf up, to cover her mouth; if they were going to spend any amount of time here, she was going to have to recommend eyewashes - maybe even rebreathers - for the crew. The level of skin disease and respiratory complaints here must be off the charts...<br/><br/>-But still, they were only visiting. ""Quite the sight,"" she couldn't help but remark - shading her eyes against the neon glow of the flashing lights. It was ramshackle, like pretty much everything else here...To Mei-Li's mind, though, that gave it a certain rough charm. It really<em>was</em>just like slumming it...Except rather less safe, and she didn't know the place at<em>all</em>- though she was rapidly beginning to get a general idea. It wasn't familiarity so much as how the basic layout was more-or-less ubiquitous to every colony structure; After all, when your prefab buildings were designed to be dropped from orbit, a unique layout was<em>hardly</em>a high priority.<br/><br/>All the same, Mei-Li couldn't help but let out a distinct sigh of relief, as they ducked into the<em>Romulus &amp; Remus</em>- shaking her violet hair out, the bar's batwings creaking behind her as she pulled her scarf down...Drawing a grateful breath of air~! Her slim fingers brushed dust from her vest, her leggings - An easy, casual gesture that probably drew the eye to the curves of her hip and bust, though the lovely Doctor didn't notice.<br/><br/>""And<em>here</em>we are,"" she breathed, her full lips curving in an easy smile - with a quick nod to Miyako, as if to say...<br/><br/><em>Lurk, please.</em><br/><br/>Mei-Li didn't see the point in keeping a low profile - well, within reason, of course. While their outfit helped them blend in - just a little - there was no hiding that the two of them were out-of-towners...Let alone the fact that they were *both* gorgeous women. No, the impression she was hoping to give was that they were<em>harmless</em>visitors - Visitors with nothing to hide, just as the Sheriff had hoped for~! With Karasu her patient shadow, she crossed over to the bar with a supple stride; a glint of amusement in her deep green eyes, as she eased herself into a barstool - crossing her lissome legs with a supple scrape of her tight leggings, a soft chuckle teased from her lips.<br/><br/>""What's a girl got to do to get a drink around here~?"" she inquired, that playful half-smile lingering...the husky lilt to her voice pitched to carry. She rested an elbow on the counter - cradling her pointed chin in slim fingers, with a glance that took in her surroundings! Normally, she wouldn't have been *quite* so confident on her own...This<em>was</em>a rough place, after all...but given the quiet lethality of the woman who had her back - Well, things might just work out.<br/><br/>Beneath her casual exterior, Mei-Li's alluring front was rather more measured than it seemed...More than anything else, she hoped to<em>get someone talking</em>. It didn't matter<em>what</em>it was - once she got any of the (mostly male; this was a mining colony, after all) locals chatting...It would be<em>much</em>easier getting a good idea of *exactly* what was going on. All she had to do was to wait for<em>someone</em>- or a few<em>someones</em>- to bite..."

Having them in town rather than trekking to the ship does make sense.""  Once they got to the quarters that they had been given to use. Settling in he changed into some dark cargo pants that were loose enough that he would be able to slip on his flak suit under them when he wanted to. As he looked through the other  clothes that had been given to him he picked out a black muscle shirt and slipped it on covering most of his scarred back while the grey long sleeved shirt he pulled on over it finished the job. He took a long look at the boots and was satisfied with them. They were thick with steel toes  and from the wait he assumed the soles had steel plates in them as well. While the wait would not help him if he needed to run he doubted he would notice the wait after walking around in them for a day.<br/><br/>He left the synthleather coat that reminded him of a duster from an old west movie hanging on his door as he walked back out into the common area. After setting his pack on one of the tables he slipped on a shoulder holster and adjusted it until his pistol sat comfortable in it before slipping into his seat.  He took a quick look through the files but stopped when he found the list of equipment that had been taken from town. The mining equipment  would at least tell them that someone was doing some digging and didn't want to go through proper channels but it only helped them to a point. They still did not know where it might be being used so for all they knew someone was digging a tunnel  right under their feet.  He listened to the other speculating on the fate of the pets that had gone missing as well as Liam's comment about a mining crew for a few minutes as he connected to a large wall screen on one wall and opened up a map of the area then over laid a map of town over that. It took him a few minutes to get the location right but once he did he ran file through a program to convert it into a 3d model.  As he waited for it to do its job he looked up in time to see Mei-Li enter the room and raised an eyebrow as a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. As Karasu  spoke to the doctor he glanced over and was surprised to see just how well her clothes seemed to fit her. He had rarely seen her without her uniform on and even the few times he had her attire seemed to be just a bit to orderly to be truly casual. Once the two had left he cleared his throat and spoke up. ""My guess is that the pets are food for whatever is controlling the miners or if it's cultists then I would agree that they are probably sacrifices."" His wrist com gave small chirp drawing his attention away as he looked down to confirm that the file had been converted.<br/><br/>Turning back to his pack he unzipped it and flipped it open noticing that there was already a layer of dust in the zipper and realized any samples he took would be contaminated by the mars dust. He spent the next half an hour with his earbuds in on low as he worked out how far a team of miners could have dug with the drills that had been stolen and then put a half sphere under each shut down mine site then for good measure he did the same under the town just to give them an idea of how far any tunnels might had been dug. As he was looking over the map his eyes trailed  to the elevator then he remembered the ruins of the first settlement and he quickly worked t o add that into his map before loading it onto a shared drive that anyone in the team could access. ""We should find out if there are any ways out of the canyon other than the elevator. Also anyone wondering if the miners might actually be up in the ruins of the old settlement?"" He leaned back in his chair and set his boots onto the table as he spoke. He had shut off his music but he still pulled out the small ear buds and set them on the table. ""There should be a file on the shared drive that contains a composite map of the town and mine site. I calculated how far they could have dug if they are working twenty four seven.""<br/>"

No one'll be around at night to get in the way of our investigation and if they are around, well then we have new suspects."" She offered Liam and Zaine as she held out a few heatpacks towards them- seeing as Danny, Mikyako and Mei-Li were going on their own drunken adventure. Besides, with Liam's orienteering skills and Zaine's brain they probably had more than a decent shot of not getting lost down there and finding something worth of taking samples of.<br/><br/>""We'll keep open coms, collect samples of whatever Zaine deems necessary and see if we notice anything strange.""

Although she did seem pretty adament and without Liam she really didn't want to risk getting lost out there.<br/><br/>The woman tugged a backpack over her shoulder in the mean time, waiting for their responses and if they decided to go..

He holstered his bandit pistol before breaking down his sample kit and putting the individual items into the pockets he found on the inside of the duster. With the filter mask handing around his neck he pulled up the hood of the duster. The ingrained dust in the coat had made it only a few shades darker than the surrounding landscape.<br/><br/>""The ruins would be interesting spot to check but I would think that the abandoned mine sights are probably the better bet."" He spoke as they left the building. He took a few breaths from the filter as they walked.

He chopped it up to spending a majority of his time in ships and stations were dust was kept to an absolute minimum. ""I might stop at the bar to see the others for a few drinks on the way back.

Toturi issues an edict that all returned spirits must either submit to this ritual or commit honorable suicide and return to the afterlife. Many spirits obey, but many more do not.<br/><br/>1138:<br/>The Crab and Crane battle on the Yasuki border.  Following a rejected demand from Yasuki Masashi, a brief but bloody clash erupts between the Crab and the Crane.<br/><br/>Hantei XVI seizes the Phoenix Children. A spirit force led by Hida Tsuneo and assisted by the disgruntled Dragon daimyo, Agasha Tamori, seizes Kyuden Isawa in a bold raid. The children there, including those of the Elemental Masters, are taken hostage.<br/><br/>Hantei XVI Demands the Throne. Hantei Okucheo arrives in Otosan Uchi and demands Toturi surrender the Throne to him. Toturi refuses. The Hantei is infuriated when Shiba Tsukune, the Phoenix<br/>Champion, refuses to turn on Toturi in spite of his holding her clan’s children hostage. Hantei declares war on Toturi and the War of Spirits begins.<br/><br/>1139:<br/>Battle of Fallen Ground. The first major battle of the War of Spirits, fought near the Lion-Phoenix border, pits a spirit army under Hida Tsuneo against a mainly Lion army under the general (and former Akodo ronin) Akodo Ijiasu. It is a mortal victory, albeit a costly one. Tsuneo is prevented from attacking Otosan Uchi and falls back on Kyuden Isawa.<br/><br/>The Phoenix children are freed. Hantei XVI’s murder of the Master of Earth’s daughter causes the Phoenix to rebel and drive the spirits from Kyuden Isawa.<br/><br/>1142:<br/>The Battle of Shallow Waters. A mortal army comprised predominantly of Lion troops is attacked by a much larger spirit army in a river valley on the edge of the Golden Sun Plain. The Lion fall back on a fortified camp; the camp is eventually overrun, but its sacrifice allows most of the mortal army to withdraw intact.<br/><br/>1145:<br/>Battle of Shiro Iuchi.  Spirit forces manage to capture the seat of the Iuchi family after a hard-fought battle. The sometime-ronin Shinjo Morito plays a key role in the defense.  In recognition of his valor at Shiro Iuchi, Shinjo Morito’s claim to the land he and his followers have occupied near the Phoenix border is recognized by Emperor Toturi. This eventually leads to the creation of the Ox Clan in 1158.<br/><br/>1146:<br/>The Second Battle of White Shore Plain.  A mortal army of Unicorn, Scorpion, and Phoenix troops engages and defeats a spirit army at White Shore Plain, then moves to retake Shiro Iuchi. A young Scorpion bushi named Bayushi Paneki reputedly infiltrates a spirit camp and poisons their food supply, swinging the following day’s battle in favor of the mortal army and allowing Shiro Iuchi to be retaken.<br/><br/>1147:<br/>The Mantis sail to the Ivory Kingdoms.  After actively participating in the War of Spirits during the first few years, the Mantis Clan seems to all but disappear from the Empire from this time forward.  Many think the Clan Champion, Yoritomo Aramasu, is showing disinterest in the Empire’s woes, but in reality Aramasu and the Mantis are obeying an order from Toturi to sail to the gaijin lands known as the Ivory Kingdoms and assist the ruling maharajah against an aggressive rebellion by the Cult of the Destroyer. The Mantis are largely successful, and Rokugan avoids a new threat from overseas…at least for a time.<br/><br/>Yasuki Oguri and Yasuki Kamoru executed for membership in the Kolat.  Whether investigators happened to stumble onto the identity on their own or the Kolat exposed someone with conflicting loyalties is unknown, but Yasuki Oguri, the Master of Coin, and his son Kamoru, who had been appointed heir to the position, were caught by Seppun Toshiken and eventually allowed to commit seppuku.  Before dying, Oguri named many other semi-important positions within the Kolat, thus averting what would have been an execution.  This move had the ironic effect of weakening the Empire, as the Kolat had been firmly aligned with Toturi against Hantei XVI, and the blow significantly weakened their ability to support, though not their resolve. In addition, Toshiken sustained significant wounds due to an ambush while investigating.  (inserted)<br/><br/>1148:<br/>With the Yasuki family daimyo and his only child dead, battles between Crane and Crab resume, each trying to claim control of the leaderless family once more. (inserted)<br/><br/>1149:<br/>The Battle of Drowned Honor.  Hida Tsuneo moves to take control of the key Scorpion city of Ryoko Owari. A combined mortal force of Crab and Scorpion troops engage his force, marking one of the first major commitments of Crab troops to the war and the first time they have stood against Tsuneo.  The mortals win, pushing Tsuneo away from the city, but the victory is costly: Hida Yasamura, the husband of Crab Champion Hida O-Ushi, dies with an arrow in his throat, fired from the bow of a spirit Crab.<br/><br/>Battle of Kiken and Roka Toshi.  With the Mantis diverted and the Crab focused on Ryoko Owari, spirit forces were able to sail up to the coastal palace without hindrance, successfully taking the city.  Supplies in the city were scarce, and despite the short distance from the capital, reinforcements could not arrive before the city was taken and reinforced.  This was a huge blow for morale of Toturi forces. (inserted)<br/><br/>1150:<br/>Month of the Goat: The Battle of Quiet Winds.  Determined to end the suffering caused by the ongoing war, Toturi marches the bulk of his army south through Beiden Pass to join a large waiting Scorpion force. He finally achieves the decisive engagement he seeks at the Battle of Quiet Winds, so-named because the day of battle is still and sultry. However, at a crucial moment the Scorpion appear to change sides and join the spirits. Toturi’s army is forced to withdraw, with only a valiant and sacrificial rearguard action by the Lion preventing a total rout.<br/><br/>Month of the Goat: The Fall of Beiden Pass.  Driven from the field at the Battle of Quiet Winds, Toturi’s army retreats northward through Beiden Pass, seeking to regroup and prevent the Steel Chrysanthemum from threatening Otosan Uchi. At the urging of Bayushi Baku, Hantei XVI orders Hida Tsuneo to send the spirit army in pursuit. However, this is actually a trap of Scorpion design. When most of the spirit army is in the Pass, Phoenix shugenja collapse it, burying and destroying the spirit army.<br/><br/>Month of the Monkey: Hantei sends a messenger to Toturi to negotiate the terms of surrender.<br/><br/>Month of the Rooster: Lord Sun creates the Great Crater.  The destruction of Beiden Pass leaves the Empire without a major direct route through the Spine of the World Mountains. In answer, Lord Sun hurls fire into the mountains near the ancient Seikitsu Pass, creating the Great Crater and reopening a route through the peaks.<br/><br/>Month of the Rooster: Treaty with the Spirits.  With the bulk of his army lost, Hantei XVI finally agrees to negotiate with Toturi. In exchange for peace, the Stag Clan is created, headed by Hantei Ochukeo. In return, Hantei Ochukeo renounces his claim to the Throne of Rokugan, bringing the War of Spirits to an end.<br/><br/>Month of the Boar: Winter Court begins at Kyuden Gotei, the Mantis Clan Palace.  The new Great Clan, championed by Hantei Ochukeo, is announced as the Stag Clan, with Hantei Masashi (formerly Yasuki) founding the Masashi family, vassal to the Hantei.  The Crab Clan is given 1 month to name a new daimyo to the Yasuki family, the previous daimyo and only heir having committed seppuku during the Spirit War.<br/><br/>Month of the Rat: Akodo Reijiro is named the daimyo of a new Minor Clan, the Owl, which will carry his name.  Toritaka Reju is named the sensei of the Owl bushi school.  Crab name Yasuki Mayako daimyo of the Yasuki family.<br/><br/>Month of the Ox: Territory for the two clans is finalized.  In addition, Toturi decrees that not only must all Clans send ""two tenths of one percent"" of their samurai, but that ""all families will be represented.""  Locations in Rokugan are designated as points for those to declare their change of fealty, the majority in Lion lands.  Imperial ambassadors would be sent to both the Crab and Crane to determine which of their samurai would be tithed.<br/><br/>Month of the Hare, 1151: All ""tithed"" samurai report to the various locations across Rokugan to announce their new fealty and travel to Owl lands."

Toturi, that is, not the returned Hantei.  Some did not.  This created quite a schism in the Lion, and in Shiori.  It was different to honor an ancestor that you knew was up and walking around.  It was strange to hear tactics lessons, where the teachings came from someone currently fighting the Emperor.  Shiori responded by clinging to tradition all the harder, doing her best to ignore the reports of traitorous spirits.<br/><br/>When encouraged to improvise, however, Shiori showed that she had a good deal of potential.  The needs of the war caused many Lion in training to take their Gempukku as early as possible.  At age fourteen, long of limb and having matured early, Shiori was attached to a patrol unit, far from the front.  As well as being fast, and as eager to serve as any Lion, her patrol leader found her to be impressively perceptive, and a good tactical thinker.  He reported such to her sensei.<br/><br/>With most of the unit as inexperienced as her, they were kept off the front lines for most of the war.  She only saw fighting at the end.  It was the most frightened Shiori had ever been in her life.  How did one stand up against legends?  But, of course, she did her duty.  Despite misgivings.  As always.<br/><br/>One of the more notable events for her personally, if not in the grand scheme of things, occurred on the eve of one of these large final battles.  Her patrol had traveled beyond enemy lines to gather vital information about the enemies' numbers and positioning.  But they were caught before they could make their way back to friendly territory, and had to undertake a fighting retreat.  When it became clear that they would be overrun, her friend and <em>gunso</em>, Matsu Sakurako, held a narrow pass alone, fighting against overwhelming odds to allow the rest of the unit to return with the information.  Shiori was deeply touched by the sacrifice.  After the battle, when Sakurako's remains were recovered, Shiori requested that she be allowed to return her daisho to her family.  The request was granted.  And so it was that Shiori presented her fallen friend's daisho to her husband, Matsu Keitaro.  Although she maintained her composure, it was difficult, especially when she saw Keitaro's reaction.  A samurai was supposed to maintain composure in the face of tragedy, but Shiori found that she really could not fault him.<br/><br/>After the war, she returned home.  Her sensei, meeting with her, asked him to demonstrate all she had learned.  When she was finished, he nodded.  ""I am putting in a recommendation for you to join the newly created Reijiro family.  You will be accepted.  When the honor comes to you, I strongly suggest you take it.""  All of Shiori's objections would not change his mind, nor would he offer explanation, merely saying that she would understand in time.<br/><br/>And so she joined the Reijiro.  But she does not yet understand.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Personality and Apperance</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><div class=""floatright"">(http://i58.tinypic.com/97m96r.jpg)</div>Personality:<br/><br/>Shiori is born of both Akodo and Matsu, and it clearly shows.  Her Matsu side has given her strength and fierceness; she will not hesitate to respond to what she perceives as an attack, on or off the battlefield.  Her Akodo side has given her the ability to think and give measured response, however; her tactical mind is often active, even when not fighting.  She still clings to traditions and formality as best she can, and someone meeting her for the first time will find her stiff, even prickly.  Those who get to know her a bit better may be surprised to find a sense of humor, perhaps even some softness.  But not much; the Matsu strength runs deep, after all, hiding secret passions.  Still, she will be true and loyal to those who earn her friendship.<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/><br/>Shiori is, in short, lean and leggy, built much like the great cats from which her original clan takes its name.  She is a bit taller than the average Rokugani samurai-ko.  She is slender, her body just a little too muscular, and her feminine curves just a bit too developed to be called lithe.  Her face is surprisingly delicate, with defined cheekbones, cute nose, and tiny mouth, often lightly frowning.  Her hair is long, hanging to her waist, often in a long ponytail, mostly black, but with streaks of dark brown.  Her eyes, similarly, are deep brown, but with amber specks, visible in the right light.<br/><br/>Of special note is her manner of dress.  It is quite unusual for most of Rokugan, but can sometimes be seen among Matsu samurai-ko, combining their respect for tradition with their sometimes slightly aggressive disregard for propriety.  She dresses in a distinctly older style, from a less modest time.  The neck of her kimono is wider than most.  It hangs off of Shiori's shoulders, rather than her collarbone, exposing some of the pale golden skin of her neck and collar, and just begins to display the tops of her generous breasts.  Furthermore, it is slit in one side, to allow the Matsu warrior easier motion, but one can see the occasional flash of her shapely, well-toned leg.  This occasionally draws attention from both prudish and lecherous eyes.  Shiori has time for neither.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Character Sheet</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Reijiro (Matsu) Shiori<br/><br/>School/Rank: Akodo Bushi 1<br/>Insight: 129<br/>XP:<br/>Age: 19<br/><br/>Status:<br/>Honor: 6.5<br/>Glory: 1<br/><br/>Rings<br/>Earth 2<br/>-Stamina 2<br/>-Willpower 2<br/><br/>Water 3<br/>-Strength 3 (+1 from family)<br/>-Perception 3 (+1 from School)<br/><br/>Fire 2<br/>-Agility 3 (12)<br/>-Intelligence 2<br/><br/>Air 2<br/>-Reflexes 3 (12)<br/>- Awareness 2<br/><br/>Void 2<br/><br/><br/>Skills (* are school skills/emphasis)<br/>*Battle (*Mass Combat) 2<br/>*Defense: 1<br/>*Kenjustu 3<br/>*Kyujutsu 1<br/>*Lore - History 1<br/>*Sincerity 2<br/>*Iaijutsu 1<br/>Investigation 2<br/>Hunting  1<br/>Etiquette 1<br/>Athletics 1<br/>Games (go) - 1<br/><br/><br/>Advantages:<br/><br/>Benten's Blessing (4)<br/>Strength of the Earth (2)<br/><br/>Disadvantages:<br/><br/>Idealistic (-3)<br/><br/><br/><br/>Techniques<br/><br/>    Rank 1: The Way of The Lion<br/>    - You may either ignore an opponent's TN bonus from armor or gain a Free Raise when attacking.

GREATEST WEAKNESS?<br/>Shiori's greatest strength is her conviction.  Her strong beliefs guide her in difficult times, and allow her to be decisive in confusing ones.  Her greatest weakness is that she is traditional to the point of being hidebound.  Unless forced to do otherwise, she is perfectly content to do things the way that they have always been done.<br/><br/>WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER THINK OF BUSHIDO?<br/>Bushido is a light in the darkness, created by our glorious ancestors to guide our way.  If ever a decision is unclear, one should look to the tenets of Bushido for the proper course.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S OPINION OF HER OWN CLAN?<br/>Every clan has its purpose.  Well, except maybe the Scorpion; Shiori doesn't really think they do.  But the Lion best fulfill the most important duty of the samurai: to fight and die for the Empire.  And none display the traditional virtues of the samurai better than the Lion, either.  Truly, the Lion are the greatest clan.<br/><br/>The Lion have a tradition going back for generation after generation.  The Owl do not.  The other clans have gotten by without an Owl clan for more than a thousand years.  Shiori will serve them, but really, do they have a purpose?<br/><br/>IS YOUR CHARACTER MARRIED?<br/>No.  If an advantageous marriage were proposed, Shiori would dutifully go along with it, of course.  For anything else... well, that's just not done, is it?!?!<br/><br/>DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY PREJUDICES?<br/>Haha.  Yeah she does!<br/><br/>Shugenja and courtiers should out of the battle.  Or at least behind a solid screen of bushi.  They can do little to help, and may distract a bushi who feels obligated to protect them.<br/>The Scorpion clan serves no purpose.  The samurai of the Empire find the right decision through honor.  How can taking dishonorable action be the purpose of a samurai clan?<br/>The Celestial Order is as it is for a reason.  The lower classes should be treated with kindness, but ultimately it is their duty to serve, just as it is the duty of samurai to serve those above them.  By the same logic, Ronin cannot be trusted, as they are not in their proper place.<br/><br/>TO WHOM DOES YOUR CHARACTER OWE THE MOST LOYALTY?<br/>The obvious answer is Emperor, Clan, Family, in that order.  In truth, Shiori does recognize that personal loyalties are important, too.  She mostly feels that towards her aforementioned sensei and mother, but also towards her friends, especially those that she actively serves with.<br/><br/>WHAT ARE YOUR CHARACTER'S FAVORITE AND LEAST FAVORITE THINGS?<br/>Shiori really enjoys studying tactics, even if she doesn't have the most scholarly mind for it.  She also enjoys playing go, as she feels that it helps hone her tactics.  She'll barely admit to it, but she also enjoys some more leisurely activities; she likes to relax and watch the heavens, whether sun, moon, or stars from time to time.  She also won't admit to having a sense of humor, and enjoying a good joke, but she secretly does.<br/><br/>DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY RECURRING MANNERISMS?<br/>A disapproving frown.  Being judgmental.<br/><br/>WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER'S EMOTIONS?<br/>Although Shiori has the potential to have a bit of a temper, she really only suffers from surges of irritation, released in a cutting remark.  She does sometimes feel warmth towards her friends.  Other emotions she does her best to repress; they aren't really appropriate for samurai.<br/><br/>HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER HANDLE A SUBORDINATEfS IMPROPER BEHAVIOR?<br/>Discipline to exactly the amount prescribed in the Akodo leadership manuals she's read.  Perhaps a little on the light side for minor breaches, though; she has no issue with verbally correcting any behavior she objects to.<br/><br/>HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER'S PARENTS DESCRIBE HER?<br/>""A good and dutiful daughter.""  They weren't really that expressive, and really, that's pretty high praise from a Lion.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S HIGHEST AMBITION?<br/>Previously, it was to be a grand general for the Lion armies.  Now, in a minor clan, this has shifted somewhat.  She still hopes to eventually be a general, and, as long as she's dreaming, that the Owl army be a feared fighting force for its size.<br/><br/>HOW RELIGIOUS IS YOUR CHARACTER?<br/>Eh, sorta.  She does her best, but she doesn't really know that much about religion; she just does what is expected of her.  Besides which, honoring one's ancestors definitely feels unusual now.<br/><br/>IF YOU COULD, WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR CHARACTER?<br/>Times change!  The old ways aren't always the best.  Also, it's ok to loosen up a bit.  You don't need to be on duty all the time.<br/><br/>OPINIONS ON THE OTHER CLANS:<br/>Shiori's opinions on other clans generally focuses on the ways in which they diverge from the ideals of Bushido.  Or, rather, the ways in which they diverge from the Lion.  The Phoenix and the Dragon she both sees as focusing too much on matters besides warfare, the primary duty of the samurai.  The Unicorn and Crab are both respected for their strong military, but lack either the virtue or the strong ties to Rokugani tradition that make the best samurai.  Strangely, she admires the Crane the most.  They have both virtue and tradition, and they are powerful in every arena, which she admires tactically.  It is only their focus on artistry that she feels makes them fall behind.  The Mantis, lacking in the divine heritage of the great clans, also cause Shiori to think poorly of them.  At least, unlike the Scorpion, they have a purpose that she can understand, even if she doesn't entirely respect it.<br/></div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Bonus Questions!</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">-Which tenets of Bushido are most important to your character?  Which tenets are least important?<br/>Duty is by far the most important.  It is the reason for samurai.  Courage and honor are important as well, with sincerity just below those.  Shiori has some difficulties with courtesy sometimes, and she is rather utilitarian regarding compassion, which is probably missing the point.  She sees compassion more as a means to instill loyalty than as a virtue in itself.<br/><br/>-Does your character know of Shourido?  What does your character think of it?<br/>Shiori is still in the process of improving her scholarly knowledge of Bushido, so she only knows of Shourido as a name, and as something bad.  If she learned some more details about it, she might find that some of the principles are hard to disagree with, namely perfection, determination, and will.  However, the lack of anything relating to duty will cause her to be inherently suspicious of Shourido, as she does feel that this is the most important virtue a samurai can possess.<br/><br/>-Was your character involved in the war of spirits? <br/>Very much so!<br/><br/>-What did your character think of each side on the war of spirits?<br/>Speaking about the other side, they had refused an explicit order from the Emperor.  This already speaks of a failure on their part.  However, Shiori had been raised from birth to revere her ancestors, a habit that she maintained even in the face of their hostility.  Even as they fought against the empire, she still admired them.<br/><br/>As for her own side, Shiori will only say that they supported the Emperor, and were therefore in the right.  Secretly, however, she wonders if the initial order that led to the war may have been a mistake.  How much could they have learned from working together with the returned spirits, if they had honored them instead of fighting them?  Now, she worries that the war has created too great a gap between the two sides.<br/><br/>-What did your character think of the treaty?<br/>Shiori has decidedly mixed feelings about the recent treaty.  For the large part, she thinks it is a bad idea.  The spirits resisted an order from the Emperor, and fought a war against the rest of Rokugan, a war which ended up being the longest in Rokugan's history.  It is good that lives were saved by the end of the war, but it is a samurai's duty to fight and die, after all, and she was still alive.  Placing the defeated Hantei Ochukeo as the head of a new clan, a great clan no less, with all of the power that accompanies that, seems as though it could easily lead to new problems down the road, as he gathers influence, and builds up his armies again.  After all, his skill as a politician could not be understated.  Besides, he was supposed to be dead, his ordained time long passed.  It goes against the natural order, in which a generation passes its knowledge and responsibility to the next.<br/><br/>On the other hand, despite how firmly Shiori believes it to be a bad idea, she really wants it to work out.  She has never had the opportunity to converse with one of the returned ancestor spirits, and secretly hopes that she someday will have the chance to.  But... surely it's not worth thinking about; it's impossible.<br/><br/>-If given the chance what would your character change about Rokugan?<br/>Unsurprisingly, Shiori longs for the days of old, the days that she has only studied in histories.  She feels that the Empire has changed too much since it's inception, and has gotten too far from its roots.  She would like to see the last few hundred years of history rolled back, although she does still feel that the defeat of Fu Leng and the Darkness are both good.  She would like to see, politically at least, things returned to back before the time of the Clan Wars.<br/><br/>She does also wonder if the Empire, if it lacked both internal conflict and existential threats, might be able to become more expansionistic.  Conquering a new land is a faraway dream of hers, but a dream nonetheless.</div></div>"

She was the most brilliant student among her peers in the Matsu Bushi School, and after her gempukku she quickly rose to be the leader of a squad of the Lion's Eyes, a Matsu scouting regiment that was commonly seen as a stepping stone towards the elite Lion's Pride. She took a year out of her meteoric rise to marry Matsu Keitaro, a bushi from another branch of the Matsu family, to honour an agreement that had been made when she was very young. They were soon blessed with a daughter, and then she was back in the field, fighting in the War of Spirits for the honour of the Lion Clan and the safety of the Empire. Perhaps she would have become a great general and an important figure in the Lion's military might, if she had not died to ensure her squad's escape from a deadly spirit ambush.<br/><br/>Matsu Keitaro was not born under any particularly significant omens, and was an average student of kenjutsu (by Lion standards). He was a passionate young man, and took his duty to his parents and to his Clan seriously, never backing down from a challenge to prove his loyalty or uphold his family's good name. His family was fairly wealthy as Lion samurai go, and they secured a betrothal for him to Matsu Sakurako, trading gold for prestige. When he was old enough to understand the terms of his betrothal, he became fiercely devoted to his future wife as well, sending her poems and performing daring feats in her name even before he had met her. His gempukku showed him to be an adequate swordsman with a knack for military organisation, and he was considered to have a decent future ahead of him as an officer of modest rank one day.<br/><br/>His marriage to Matsu Sakurako was to be the happiest day of his life, but then surpassed only by the birth of their daughter, Kiriko. Keitaro served in some campaigns while Sakurako was pregnant, and then took on the responsibility of raising her and managing their household while Sakurako fought in the War of Spirits. Every week, letters would arrive telling him of the great victories the Lion armies achieved, and the role that his wife played in them, and he read these letters to their daughter with great pride.<br/><br/>One day, Sakurako's friend Matsu Shiori, a soldier in her squad, arrived at the manor, bearing not a letter, but Sakurako's daisho, and the tale of her noble sacrifice. That was the day Matsu Keitaro's world ended.<br/><br/>Keitaro did his best to continue to serve his clan in spite of his grief. Certainly he needed no prompting to take the field against the spirit armies, and he slew many foes, embracing the Matsu rage and taking his revenge against the creatures that had slain his wife. But once the war was won and there was no more fighting to be done, his life was empty. Honour, glory and talent had granted his wife nothing more than an early death, and no matter what honours were heaped upon her grave, they could not give her one more day of life.<br/><br/>He sank into a deep depression, and his performance as a samurai suffered for it. His kenjutsu became lackluster and joyless, merely a repetition of learned motions. His tactical talent faded, and bushi who had once come to him for advice soon learnt that he had none to give. Finally, his wife's family came to take Kiriko to be raised by her aunts, and he knew in his heart that they were right to do so. He petitioned his liege for permission either to retire to a monastery or to commit seppuku, as he was no longer of any value to the Clan as a bushi.<br/><br/>Instead, his liege sent him as his tithe to the fledgling Owl Clan, believing that a new start under a new family would give him a chance to move on, make new connections to the world, and become an asset to his new clan and the Empire once more.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Twenty Questions</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">WHAT CLAN DOES YOUR CHARACTER BELONG TO?<br/>Owl (former Lion)<br/><br/>HOW WOULD OTHERS DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER’S APPEARANCE?<br/>He has a soft, almost feminine face, but certainly has the body of a warrior. I guess he's sort of pretty? Dresses very rigidly along clan and family lines, not much ornamentation.<br/><br/>IS YOUR CHARACTER A BUSHI, SHUGENJA, MONK, OR COURTIER?<br/>Bushi, now and forever.<br/><br/>WHAT FAMILY DOES YOUR CHARACTER BELONG TO?<br/>Reijiro now. He may be a Matsu at heart, but that life is behind him.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S MAIN MOTIVATION?<br/>Duty: to the Empire, to his new Clan (as soon as he can understand exactly what they are and what they represent), and to his wife's memory.<br/><br/>WHO IS THE PERSON YOUR CHARACTER TRUSTS MOST?<br/>Matsu Koniriko, his former liege in the Lion Clan. She guided him in his military career and in his marriage, and sent him to the Owl Clan when it was what he needed.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S GREATEST STRENGTH? GREATEST WEAKNESS?<br/>Keitaro's greatest strength is his passion. He is fiercely devoted to the ideal of bushido and to serving the Empire, and to the people who hold important places in his life. This is also his greatest weakness.<br/><br/>WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER THINK OF BUSHIDO?<br/>Bushido is the reason samurai exist. If a samurai loses sight of bushido, he should fall upon his sword rather than consume a single grain of rice that could be used to feed a pig or an eta.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S OPINION OF HER OWN CLAN?<br/>The Lion are the Emperor's glorious right hand. They protect the Empire and mete out Imperial will. In their own time, they capture land that other clans are too weak or incompetent to deserve to keep.<br/><br/>The Owl? Uh... well, the Emperor saw fit to create them, so it was definitely a good idea, and I am their vassal now, so I will serve them faithfully. Wthether this turns out to be a waste of everyone's time is yet to be seen, but I have high hopes.<br/><br/>IS YOUR CHARACTER MARRIED?<br/>*muffled sobbing*<br/><br/>DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY PREJUDICES?<br/>Shugenja and courtiers should probably try harder to be useful in combat, but everyone has their proper place, I guess. It's not their fault.<br/><br/>TO WHOM DOES YOUR CHARACTER OWE THE MOST LOYALTY?<br/>The Emperor. All honour and right descends, ultimately, from the Crysanthemum Throne.<br/><br/>WHAT ARE YOUR CHARACTER’S FAVORITE AND LEAST FAVORITE THINGS?<br/>Favourite: The opportunity to prove himself in battle and achieve important victories in the Emperor's name. Off-duty, he is fond of poetry.<br/>Least favourite: Taking orders from samurai who have never seen battle.<br/><br/>DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY RECURRING MANNERISMS?<br/>He has an unfortunate habit of daydreaming, and can sometimes be spotted staring at nothing in the middle of training.<br/><br/>WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER’S EMOTIONS?<br/>Keitaro is a very passionate man, and when either joy or anger takes hold of him, will speak - and act - a great deal in defence of what he holds dear.<br/><br/>HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER HANDLE A SUBORDINATE’S IMPROPER BEHAVIOR?<br/>Fists are an appropriate disciplinary measure for insubordination off the battlefield. Particularly harsh offenses may be met with the threat of making their dishonour public. Disobedience on the battlefield is punished by death.<br/><br/>HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER’S PARENTS DESCRIBE HIM?<br/>He wears his heart on his sleeve, and is so delicate.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S HIGHEST AMBITION?<br/><em>I DON'T CARE ANYMORE, ALRIGHT? WHAT'S THE POINT? I'LL FIGHT AND THEN I'LL DIE, AND THAT'S ALL THAT ANY OF US CAN HOPE FOR!</em><br/>I mean, I hope one day to lead an army of my new clan in battle for the glory of the Emperor.<br/><br/>HOW RELIGIOUS IS YOUR CHARACTER?<br/>Religious enough. The Fortunes watch over us and give us strength, and our ancestors guide us with their wisdom. But deep contemplation is for monks, and my ultimate loyalty is to the Emperor.<br/><br/>IF YOU COULD, WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR CHARACTER?<br/>It's not the end of the world.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Bonus questions</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><em>Which tenets of Bushido are most important to your characters? Which tenets are least important?</em><br/><br/>Duty above all! That is the purpose of a samurai's existence.<br/><br/>Courtesy is only important to my liege, sensei, family, wife, Emperor, and the others to whom I owe loyalty and service. That is not to say that I will go out of my way to be rude to others, but what have they done for me, that I must bide my tongue to preserve their feelings?<br/><br/><em>Does your character know of Shourido? What does your character think of it?</em><br/><br/>As a means of self-improvement, supposing one ignores its origins? It is well enough. Strength and Knowledge and Perfection are useful things. But they are only tools, in the same way that skill with the sword is a tool. What matters is a samurai's behaviour, the choices he makes. Shourido does not tell you what is right, only what is useful. The only true guide to a samurai's behaviour is Bushido.<br/><br/><em>Was your character involved in the War of Spirits?</em><br/><br/>Indeed - the war was already in full fury when Keitaro finished his gempukku, and he went to fight early and often. He spent more time away from the front lines once he was married and caring for a daughter and an estate, though, leaving his wife to be the full-time warrior. After she died, he fought the spirits without pause or mercy.<br/><br/><em>What did your character think of each side on the War of Spirits?</em><br/><br/>One side was the side of the Emperor. The other was not.<br/><br/>Of course, one cannot blame Ochukeo's soldiers for following the commands of their liege. They did their duty (for a traitor to the Empire), as I did mine (for the Son of Heaven).<br/><br/><em>What did your character think of the treaty?</em><br/><br/>It is beyond shameful that anyone who dares to call himself ""samurai"" would dictate terms to the Emperor, but the might of the traitor's armies forced the Emperor's hand. It is our duty to abide by the Emperor's agreement. The Stag Clan will be shown the respect and courtesy that their new status affords them, and not a single grain more.<br/><br/><em>If given the chance, what would your character change about Rokugan?</em><br/><br/>No Stag Clan. More land in the hands of those who understand their value and how to defend them (i.e. the Lion).<br/></div></div>"

This was, naturally, precisely what the Scorpion had desired, so that she might be able to provide insight on the Mantis traders- and raiders.<br/><br/>While there she learned a great deal about the Mantis perspective, and has returned with a lackadaisical attitude towards traditional values of propriety and a fine appreciation for self-interest... though she still views matters through the Scorpion lens of ""in benefit of the Empire.""  She was betrothed to one Kuni Tora as part of a deal to improve ties between the Kuroiban and the Kuni witchhunters, and was dispatched to Crab lands to travel with her betrothed, policing the farmlands shielded by the Wall for a time.  During this time, Maseko notably improved crop yields by ensuring near-ideal weather conditions.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, Jigoku's reach is long. A cell of Fu Leng worshipers succeeded in summoning an Oni into a township while the bulk of the Crab were distracted by the Spirt War.  The Oni was banished and the cell annihilated with the assistance of additional Kuni reinforcements and a contingent of Bushi and ashigaru from the Wall, but Kuni Tora gave his life in the process- he bound the Oni to himself, then sacrificed himself to banish the Oni.<br/><br/>Inspired by her betrothed's sacrifice for the good of all and ashamed by her failure to keep her betrothed alive, Maseko returned to Scorpion lands with a desire to find some other way to serve her clan.  She did not expect to be sent away from the Scorpion yet again, her Daimyo citing her experience in Crab lands and her multicultural background as reasons to be dispatched as a part of Emperor Toturi's tithe.  Unsaid, they were just as happy to be rid of a disruptive element in the family- though certain elements of the Scorpion watch her, and the clan to which she is to join, with great interest.  The Soshi and Yogo families both hope that the new Owl Clan will be a useful ally in the eradication of blasphemous elements and whatever tainted beings they are able to summon.  The Bayushi have little to say on the matter, embroiled in their own plots and leaving the Shugenja families to their own devices, and they<em>seem</em>content to allow the other families to court the Owl.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">20 Questions</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">1. Yeah, I'm a Scorpion and no, I don't act like it.  But I guess I'm about to become an... Owl?  Is that what we are?  I need to get used to that.  I guess that's breaking my previous trend of ""things with shells.""  You know, being Scorpion, traveling with Mantis and Crab... sorry, lame joke.<br/>2. Does this clan even have any families?  Who's in charge around here anyway?  Am I still a Koseru?  Could someone explain this to me, I wasn't paying attention.<br/>3. Well, I ain't no courtier.  Seriously though, spirits may not be the best conversationalists, but if you give 'em a chance they aren't so bad.<br/>4. Describe me?  I dunno.  Lean and mean?  Naw, I try not to be mean, but lean and friendly don't come off the tongue so well. (Average height, slender and compactly built, but whipcord muscles suggest surprising strength)<br/>5. ""Primary motivator?""  We're using big words today, huh?  Look, I just like to understand things and people and such.<br/>6. Who do I trust most in the world?  Captain Kobe- a big Yoritomo Bushi running one of their ships.  I crewed for him awhile, kept the wind at our backs and the rain off us.  He was big and mean as piss, but he had his crew's back.  I haven't seen him in... damn, three, four years now?<br/>7. Look, I'm <em>Shugenja.</em> Spirits don't think like you an' I, an' I try to pick up a little bit of that from them.  I think sideways, I look for new answers, and I think that's my strength.  Unfortunately, most Rokugani don't really go for creativity, you know?<br/>8. Bushido- the way to enlightenment, right?  Well, <em>a</em> way anyway.  Seems like a good way to at least keep everybody from making things <em>worse.</em><br/>9. The Scorpion?  Yeah, we come from a Kami, so we have a divine right to exist, assholes.  It don't matter that you don't like us.  *Sticks out tongue.*  Oh, you think we spend too much time plotting?  Yeah, pay attention to the Daidoji.  Or Hida Kisada.  Or the Unicorn.  Or Toturi- sorry, <em>Emperor </em>Toturi.  Welcome to Rokugan, plots happen.  Deal with it.<br/>10. Married?  Naw.  I was betrothed to Kuni Tora a bunch o' years back- even spent some time with him down in Crab lands.  Oh you never heard of him?  That's 'cause an Oni <em>ate</em> him <em>while I watched,</em> so thanks so much for bringing it up.<br/><br/>...Anyway, I guess the Clan decided that tithing me off was more politically expedient than trying to arrange a new engagement, so here I am.  Woo.<br/>11. Look, you can hate the Scorpion for plotting and keeping secrets, but you know who you really ought to watch?  The Crane and the Phoenix.  The Crane, they control a lot of Jade, right?  So rather than giving it to the Crab so they can do their thing on the Wall, they make fucking statues.  <em>Statues.</em>  Then they sell whatever's left to the Crab at absurd prices.  And the Phoenix, well... they know things, alright?  They study things they really ought to stay away from, then they don't tell people what they figured out.  That's like, the worst sort of secret-keeping.<br/><br/>But, man... Statues.<br/>12.  I guess I serve the Owl Daimyo?  Maybe the local Magistrate?  I dunno, who's in charge around here?<br/>13. Look, if I'm not learning something, I wanna be doing something.  I like exploring, meeting new people, meeting new spirits, sake, parties, opium, archery...  What, Shugenja can't use a bow?  Now, court's just boring.  Politics?  Boring, except for when it's all going wrong- and that's never a good thing.<br/>14. Sometimes I notice I bite my lip.  I've also noticed that I like to be under things or over things- I climb around a lot.<br/>15. Yeah, I get that ""proper"" samurai are unfeeling statues, but that's like, not me.  Not Mantis either.  Not really Scorpion, I guess, but I don't hide it like most of them do.  I just like people, I guess, an' I like being happy?  Yeah, sure, some things get me mad- like that Crane greed.  Look, maybe it's weird hearing a Scorpion taught by Mantis complain about greediness, but if that's all you know about the Scorpion or the Mantis, then you ought to pay closer attention.  Or, you know what? Don't.<br/>16. Look, my subordinate blows me off? Tie a rope 'round his ankle and throw him over the front of the ship, if I'm feeling nice.  We ain't aboard ship?  Fuckin' gut 'im like a fish.  Now, I ain't gonna hold it against 'im if it's an honest mistake- that's how we learn, right?  But you best be followin' orders.<br/>17. Yeah, the parents.  They think I'm weird.  Not courtly enough, not subtle enough, too obvious.  I think they don't think I'm a good spy either.  I won't say they're disappointed, but I think they'd've rather I was sent to the Soshi rather than the Yoritomo.  Whatever.<br/>18. What do I want?  To live well, have fun, and learn everything I can about everything I can.<br/>19. Yeah, I say my prayers- that's kind of the point, yeah?  I stop at the shrines I pass, I honor my ancestors.<br/>20.

He stood up and shook his pack, and smiled with satisfaction. ""That should do it,"" he commented, and he scooped up one of the packets of trail rations. He began walking casually around their rest site as he munched on some dried fruit, keeping his muscles limber while still taking the opportunity to relax.

Here's a portrait: wavy, golden blonde hair, leafy green eyes, fair skin from too much time spent indoors with her books. She wears a loincloth and a top that's really two strips of loose fabric strategically arranged into a halter, all in flamboyant scarlet red. In one hand she holds a weird bronze staff with a precisely cut crystal atop it in one hand that's far too delicate for actual use as a weapon.<br/><br/>Kailae scans the sea of faces in the place for a moment, spots a familiar face, and makes a beeline for it.<br/><br/>""Ran! Have you heard?"" she says, bubbling with excitement. Her eyes are bright with the light of a brilliant plan in motion. ""According to that notice outside, the Council is<em>finally </em>doing something about all the strange news that's come our way recently.""<br/><br/>She sits down next to Ran... and then realizes just who Ran happens to be sitting next to. She has heard the rumors, of course, and some of Miranda's less rational proclamations.<br/><br/>Kailae herself is hardly very conventional by the standards of Dryad Wood, of course. She had always been the one who was too smart for her own good, clever but not wise, far too fond of her tomes, far too frank in her speech and far too daring in her dress. (According to the latest and wildest rumor, she and Ran are in unofficial competition to see who who can wear less clothing.) So as something of the odd one out in a little town like this, Kailae used to feel, if not kinship with Miranda, a little more willingness to put up with her oddities.<br/><br/>But things happened, and things changed. First there was that incident with the boy who stole Miranda's journal. It was an unsettling warning that not all books were safe to read and that there was perhaps more to Miranda's ramblings than mere hallucinations or an overactive imagination. That was one of the few times Kailae had been seriously shaken, because if any of the books in her father's library were written by someone like her...<br/><br/>Then, of course, she had taught herself magic. Since then Kailae had felt that, as the one educated in spellcraft, she had a sort of duty to watch over Miranda, just in case she did something unpredictable. It was a position that precluded any chance of genuine friendship and inevitably, the distance between them had grown.<br/><br/>Kailae smiles at Miranda. She doesn't<em>intend </em>to be unfriendly -- it's just a natural consequence of her position on the matter. ""It's about time the Council stopped twiddling its thumbs and took action. What do you two plan to do?""<br/>"

A pleasant enough name, and rather true to the history of the town. While no stranger to travel, he was a little slow in his initial movements as he looked over the town, making sure he knew where some of the basic supply stores and other things were as it was best to be prepared. He was given directions to the inn and well... A place to eat and rest, get a drink before dealing with the task at hand seemed as delightful as any choice could be. It would not be hard to miss the fact that he was a foreigner, whether it was the full pack of gear and bedroll he had on his back or just the fact that he was no long time patron of the bar... he was dressed comfortably enough, well worn travelers clothes that were mostly hidden under the dull steel chainmail that covered his upper body and his arms down to the wrists. The tan pants he wore weren’t fashionable but they were good make and kept him warm enough. Of course, it would be his weapons that might draw the most attention, a large blade and a handful of spears meant for throwing, both a sign that he could clearly defend himself should he need to.<br/><br/>As he entered the tavern he perked up at the idle sounds of conversation and busywork. Servers tending to customers, conversations that he could only make out the basics of... And a trio of women discussing things. One of them was rather heated and he could make out something about the council twiddling its thumbs, so... Lucas approached, waving at them. “Greetings. Happened to overhear you and you seem fairly unhappy about the local council. Are you looking into dealing with these dangers i’ve been hearing about? If so... I apologize for the intrusion, but I was hoping to learn more about them myself. Names Lucas, I know how to handle myself.” He said, a shrug of his shoulders to help show off his gear.  A little impolite he thought, but he spoke with a firm but friendly voice, hoping he had not intruded on something private."

The outside two were clearly meant for defense.  However, it did not appear as if anyone was manning those towers today, or perhaps any other day.  The center tower had a timepiece by which the people of the town regulated their lives.<br/><br/>Across the street from the Town Hall was Dryad Wood's covered marketplace.  Today, it was busier than others but that had been becoming more steadily true as more foreigners had been arriving.<br/><br/>At the entrance to the Town Hall stood two men who were clearly intended as guards were in a relaxed pose at either end of the doors.  Swords hung lazily in their scabbards from their sides and they were dressed in scale mail.  They barely moved as the party entered the Hall.<br/><br/>Behind a table were three men that the locals knew well, as they were the town council.  The first was an apparently cheerful gentleman with round brown eyes that are like two splotches of mud.

However, his wardrobe was bizarre.  Nothing matched despite his claim of it being stylish.  He was one of the local tailors that went by the name of Tomas Pratt.<br/><br/>The second was a gentleman with beady green eyes. His luxurious, curly, alabaster hair was medium-length and worn in an uncomplicated style. He had a thin build and pale skin. His forehead was low and ended in a hooked nose. Yet, his wardrobe was elaborate and classy, with a completely black color scheme.  Locals knew him as the most wealthy man in town, a semi-retired merchant, Guy Dering.<br/><br/>The final man was the local blacksmith, George Forge could remind one of a sturdy tree. He had eyes the color of the evening sky. His luxurious, straight, graying hair was worn in a style that reminds you of a complex device.  His skin was dark and occasionally blistered from his work with steel.

And sometimes the two are related.<br/><br/>Rinarya might have overdone it a little. She had hardly left town before, let alone on an adventure, so she thought it only common sense to make sure she was ready. As always, she turned to her books - reading up on adventurers' tales, travelers' guides, local lands... anything that seemed it might be of use. And, as always... the sun was setting before she realized it. Knowing she was already late, fearing she would miss her chance to join this quest entirely, she threw some things in her bag and some approximation of traveling clothes on herself, hurried to ask the council where their more timely recruits had gone, and set off at the best pace she could manage.<br/><br/>Fortunate to be hardier than she looks and blessed with the keen night vision of the elves, it's only partway through the night when Rinarya catches sight of their camp along the road and slips in quietly to join them. She doesn't announce herself - it would be rude to wake everyone, wouldn't it? Instead, she merely settles in a comfortable spot of to the side, pulls out a book, and gets back to reading. She was in a hurry to leave, after all; she didn't have time to do all the studying she wanted for this journey. ...Or to pack rations, come to think of it...<br/><br/>Some of the locals in the group might recognize her, should they take notice sooner or later. Though not one to try to stand out, she's on the tall side for an elf and blessed with looks that her lack of care for her appearance can't quite dull. She has always been the quiet and reclusive type, but she has long used her magic to help with odd jobs at the Charming Dryad and around town in exchange for coin...  and most probably know of that one time she had a bit too much to drink on her first and only day as a waitress in the tavern. The Charming Dryad is no brothel, but any travelers visiting on that day could be forgiven if they got that impression.<br/><br/>She doesn't like to talk about that. Much less think about it. Today is more important, and today she's actually dressed, wearing simple but practical boots and a brief dress that, though rather plain, is easily short enough to let her move freely. More importantly, it fits. Most human women don't have a figure quite as voluptuous as hers, much less elves, and finding clothes can be difficult. Some might criticize her lack of fashion... but she has never been the type to care. Plain and practical have plenty of benefits, as far as she's concerned. Style does not."

Her long black hair, soft and long, tickled the warm skin of Caro.<br/><br/>The druid was careful as she broke the suckle, only to repeat the process on Caro's right nipple. Down she went further, kissing the taunt stomach of her lover, and tasting the warm skin with her tongue. Eventually she was curled up, on her knees and between Caro's legs. She could only assume that Caro wasn't a fan of the stiffening sex between her legs, so Orchid was careful to hide Caro's pelvis behind her long black locks as she opened her mouth and began to descend upon the stiff sex..."

She couldn't see it behind Orchid's hair, but it was hardly as if she couldn't feel<em>that</em>part of her body straining and aching, or ignore the warmth of Orchid's breath or the indescribable feeling as her mouth lowered.<br/>Of course by that point, the only thing Caro could do was let out a cry of pleasure, her back arcing and her little fingers digging into the bedsheet."

Her hands rested against Caro's pelvis, as she breathed through her nose.<br/><br/>To Caro it would feel like a wet, hotness that was constricting upon the hard penis. The druid's eyes were close, as she worked her craft of tender fellatio upon Caro's sex. Her tongue was pressed flat on the underside of the shaft as her head moved up and down, with only the occasional sound of sweet suckling heard.

Deep and sensual, her tongue danced with the other.<br/><br/>When the kiss broke, she felt Caro's sweet words upon her face.<br/><br/><em>""I want to please you as much as you have me. Guide me. Tell me where to touch you. How to pleasure you.""</em><br/><br/>Caro's hand was on her own, and who better to show the inexperienced halfling where to touch, and feel then Orchid? After all she knew her body well enough. She took the acolyte's hand and gently guided it up her taunt stomach and then over until she pressed her small left breast into Caro's palm. ""Here..."" she whispered.<br/><br/>Orchid loved to have her breasts played with, especially the nipples as they always sent little jolts down her body. With her right hand she took a hold of Caro's and placed it upon her hip. She moaned aloud, but quickly bit her lip as her hot skin ached from being touch. She guided Caro's hand lower, until it began to sink between her straddled legs. Down the hands went, before running over a small patch of pubic hair that crowned the beginning of her little flower.<br/><br/>""A-and..mfh, a bit lower..."" she urged Caro, guiding past soft patch of pubic hair and finally to the apex of her moistened flower. The pedals were swollen, and the pressed together tightly. ""Y-yes. Here."" she whispered, eyes half open in pleasure as she leaned up again Caro and pulled her glistening sex from Caro's pelvis.<br/><br/>It wasn't long after that, that Orchid pressed her middle finger into Caro's and made her touch the beginning of her swollen little pearl that only barely peeks from its hood. Orchid gasped aloud, and whimpered. ""e-especially there. R-right there...""<br/><br/>"

Not only from the wonderful stimulation of Caro's mouth upon her breast and finger pressing on her clit, but also from having gone down on her lover. She was far too gone to really form any words and before she could suggest what to do next Sher threw her head back and cried out, if not a bit too loud in pure pleasure. Her inner walls tense around nothing and sparks shot up her spine as she orgasmed in front of Caro.<br/><br/>Her face was a display of what could be mistaken as pain, intense concentration, and pleasure. Her hips thrust into the halfling's hand readily as she rode the ways of pleasure. With her naked moist body trembling in the dim light of the hotel room, Orchid gripped the back of Caro's neck firmly. Her legs were weak, and cheeks flushed a bright red. Her nipples, hard and erect, were swollen with blood and grazed against Caro's flat chest.<br/><br/>After a few moments of post orgasm bliss, Orchid found herself kissing Caro deeply, lovingly. She could feel the Halfling's around penis up against her tight nether lips. ""T-thank you, Caro."" she said between kisses, and then ran a finger down the acolyte's cheek.<br/><br/>""You remain chaste, and virtuous. But I will admit I am selfish, and wish to be one with you. To feel you inside..."" whispered Orchid, who was kissing the corner of Caro's mouth. She was teeting on the edge of Caro's tip, but respected her enough to ensure that this is what the other halfling wanted. Some had heard some held onto their virginity as a sign of being 'pure', and knew husbands craved a virginal bride. Not that she assumed Caro wanted such things.<br/><br/>The bed beneath creaked slightly and the wool blanket hung loose around their waists. In fact, it could hide the act of love making itself if anyone was to enter. It was just two loving Hafling's, one sitting in the other lap.<br/><br/>The druid wanted to savor this moment, to commit it to memory. She took in Caro's beauty, the way her soft pale hair framed her feminine face, and how lithe she looked in the flickering candle light. Even though Caro lacked breasts, she found the girl's hard nipples exciting and sensual. ""You are too beautiful..."" she commented briefly...<br/><br/>"

The druid commented.<br/><br/>Her hands ran through Caro's hair, and her nose brushed along the halfling's neck, inhaling her scent. ""I desire you. All of you. Not for what you can become, but for what you are now. Your soul is beautiful as well."" she whispered hotly, kissing the soft supple skin, as she remained on the precipice of penetration.<br/><br/>Caro's pain was so raw and exposed, and the druid ached to heal it.

No doubt some servant would find it, and it would eventually find its way into the wardrobe of a samurai who needed it.<br/><br/>Soon, he was striding forth towards the gate, with his daisho at his left hip and tessen at his right, clad in heavy armour lacquered in yellow. His bow was slung across his back alongside his travelling pack, which was now quite light, waiting to be laden with supplies for the journey. He bowed to Shiori, Maseko and Liang, casting his experienced military eye over their travelling accoutrements. Shiori showed him no surprises, and he gave her a polite nod of approval, from one experienced soldier to another. Likewise, Liang presented himself as a straightforward bushi, and he nodded to him as well.<br/><br/>Maseko was another matter, and it took two or three glances for him to take in her appearance completely. His gaze flicked between the red sash, the harem pants in almost a gaijin style, the spiked tetsubo over her shoulder, and - despite his best efforts - the cut of her vest. After a moment, he realised he was staring, and bowed to her in apology. ""Maseko-san. You are... well-prepared to travel, then?"" His gaze came to rest on the tetsubo as the most outlandish part of her appearance, and he seemed surprised that she could carry it so easily."

""I can tell you that I am adequately prepared for travel; in fact, I daresay I am more prepared for travel than I was to face an emissary of the Otomo,"" she said, her lips blossoming into a mischievous smile.  She leaned towards him then, one arm extended behind her to use her tetsubo to balance herself, and made a show of surveying his armour- which movement threatened to reveal<em>far</em>more of her modest bosom than would be considered proper on a Lion muster yard, though the seafarer's knot on her sash did an adequate job of helping her vest keep her breasts restrained.  ""Although I wonder, garbed as you are,"" she began, before turning to consider Liang and Shiori in turn and surveying them in the same way, ""whether any of us are truly prepared for the conflict you seem to anticipate.""  She stood up straight, then, possibly to the relief of her comrades, and laughed.  ""But then, perhaps it is best that at least one of us be prepared for war, with the Empire still in such turmoil.  If you should fall into a river while we travel, one of us shall simply have to fetch you out.""<br/><hr/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">OOC</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Yeah, cleavage shot.  Yeah, I know clothes don't really work that way and she should be falling out, but cinematics, amirite?<br/><br/>But yeah, heavy armour for the road seems a bit much unless you're one of those freakish Crabs who do that.  At least she didn't compare Keitaro to them.  That would have gone poorly.</div></div>"

Her back arched and her head tilted back, so slightly that it might not be noticed.<br/><br/>""As the spirits of the Heavens witnessed<br/>The Imperial Kami Hantei crowned,<br/>As the spirits of the high and low mountains witnessed<br/>The creation of the Great Clans<br/>As the spirits of the north and east winds witnessed<br/>The Empire ruled by the blood of the Kami,<br/>So shall they all witness this place.""<br/><br/>The heat within her brightened, a fire building at the joining of her thighs in competition with the water running between them.  The wind buffeted her, pulling her jacket entirely from her sash, and she did not care.<br/><br/>""And as the spirits of the Heavens, the Earth and the Winds<br/>Witnessed crimes innumerable, great and small,<br/>The Spirits gave their help to Shugenja,<br/>And through Shugenja, to Rokugan,<br/>To clease these crimes away.""<br/><br/>The earth seemed to pull at her, clinging to her knees in recognition of past fealties to her and shugenja like her. The wind circled her fiercely, whipping her hair around her face and excited.  The rain pelted her, abandoning the camp in it's eagerness to remember ancient service, and serve again.  The sparks from Shiori's stones dulled as fire spirits nestled close to Maseko, feeding the fire in her loins.  Her voice raised as she leaned further back, caught up in the spirits' eagerness, but her cadence did not change.<br/><br/>""As we remember these things in this place<br/>This place will be purified accordingly<br/>And here we can tell the spirits<br/>'There is no sin here that can be called a sin,'<br/>For the spirits have made it so.""<br/><br/>And it all stopped.  The rain, which had stopped misting the rest of the camp about a third of the way through the short prayer, no longer fell at all.  The wind had calmed, and the stars began to appear.  And suddenly, Shiori found the campfire much more cooperative now that the spirits were no longer distracted by the shugenja; in truth, the spirits were tired but had enjoyed the memories and the excitement, as they always did... though there was a need Maseko felt, and her pants were wet from her own water as well as the rain and mud.  She cursed internally, but there was no helping it- this would help set camp, keep her fellow samurai in fighting shape, and help preserve the tracks, at least in the area around her.  Quiescent earth, air and water spirits would help with all of those things, and agreeable fire spirits would encourage starlight and a good campfire.<br/><br/>She realized that she was bowing forward, facing away from the camp her hands before her... but they weren't clasped in prayer, gratitude or supplication.  They'd started drifting toward that insistent heat of their own accord, and that would not do.  ""Bah,"" she said as she stood.  She bent over and brushed some of the mud off of her knees, unaware how well her pants were hugging the curves of her ass, sticking to her flesh as wet as they were.  Satisfied with her mostly-clean knees, she stood up straight, rolled her shoulders and adjusted her jacket so that at least her tits were covered, though she didn't bother tucking it in again.  She also made sure her fingers brushed against her hard nipples under the jacket as she smoothed it back into place, and though she didn't tuck it in again, even she was not prepared to say whether it was because she was tired from the days exertion or whether she was hoping to incite... interaction with one of her colleagues.<br/><br/>If she had to guess though, she knew she would absolutely love... she stopped her reverie when she realized that one hand was, again, drifting towards her thighs.  With a grunt of frustration, she spun around and returned to her sandals, tucking her feet back in their accustomed place before walking slowly back to the campfire, breathing slowly.  Her jacket hung limp, framing her navel, and her cheeks were clearly flushed, but perhaps these things would be overlooked.  She hoped not.<br/><br/><hr/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">OOC</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Props to the Norito Purification Prayer for inspiration.  Also, spending a spell slot and a void point to make the rain go away near the campsite in accordance with my school ability, and it affects a radius of one mile.<br/><br/>Edited due to excess of commas and occasional repetitious language.  Bah.  And again.</div></div>"

He stopped and bowed his head respectfully, listening to her words.<br/><br/>At first, it seemed like the usual prayers he was accustomed to, and he listened to the familiar words as duty required him to, but not thinking about them much. The story of the Tournament of the Kami was well-known to him, and he was always filled with pride at the part when Akodo proved himself to be the greatest warrior of all the Kami beside Hantei.<br/><br/>This time, though, it seemed different. He saw the wind and rain whip up around Maseko, and while he could not sense the movement of the kami, he could see the effect she was having on the world around her. He thought he felt a faint stirring within his Void as the prayer went on, but it may have been his imagination.<br/><br/>His pride in being of the blood of Akodo and Matsu rose within him as it always did, but tempered by the sadness of no longer being a Lion. He still benefitted from the teachings that his ancestors had passed down to him, and of course he was still a loyal servant of the Emperor who was the legitimate inheritor of Hantei's authority, but a part of his connection to the Founding Kami was gone forever. He felt a tear forming at the corner of his eye, and brushed it away hurriedly.<br/><br/>At the conclusion of the prayer, Keitaro knelt and closed his eyes, listening to Maseko's final words, and feeling the purification of his soul as she dictated it. When he opened his eyes, the sky was clear, the wind was calm, and the rain had ceased to fall. He took in a deep breath, letting it fill his soul, and exhaled slowly.<br/><br/>After sitting in brief meditation for a minute or two, he stood and made his way back to the camp, with another armful of firewood, which he left beside the firepit for Shiori. He bowed to his fellow bushi, then went to meet Maseko.<br/><br/>Keitaro bowed deeply before Maseko, offering her the greatest possible respect. ""Maseko-san, your skill and devotion are both irreproachable. I thank you for such an honourable and pious display, and for the aid you have bestowed upon us all. My heart is lighter knowing that we have you as our intermediary with the kami.""<br/><br/>When he straightened, his eyes quickly ran over her soaked outfit, the way that her hair was plastered against her neck, and the dimples her nipples caused in her jacket. He swallowed hard, and though he tried to keep his gaze under control, it was obvious that he noticed her arousal. ""Maseko-san,"" he began, and cleared his throat uncomfortably. ""Are you... well? You look... exhausted. Communing with the kami must have taken its toll on you.""<br/><br/>He looked at the ground and shuffled his feet, then forced himself to look at Maseko's eyes. ""I know what will restore your chi. A tea ceremony! I'll get started right away."""

A pot of water was heating up on the campfile while he unpacked each utensil carefully. There was so much about this ceremony that would not be completely proper, but he knew it was necessary. Maseko needed his help to focus and push aside the demands of her body, and he himself could do with the extra clarity. There was no doubt that the others could benefit from it as well.<br/><br/>He prepared a bowl of cool water and placed it to his left, along with a small towel, before all of the other samurai had joined him at the fire. This was for the participants to wash their hands and mouths before the serving of the tea. Using a second bowl of water and another cloth, he raised each utensil, presented it silently to the other samurai, and cleaned it with the cloth. As he wiped each item free of grime and dust, he felt his own cares being wiped away, and hoped that the others would experience the same clarity.<br/><br/>Once the utensils were clean, he simply watched the pot until it boiled, sitting in silence. His breathing slowed and became steady, like a monk in meditation. The tea bowl itself was simple, a clay bowl of modest make glazed in Lion colours. He measured out five serves of green tea from a small box, then added the boiling water and stirred it with a whisk made from fine reeds. The scent of steeping tea suffused the campsite as he sat the bowl in front of him, giving it time to mature and settle.<br/><br/>When his intuition told him the time was right, he picked up the bowl in both hands, and looked over his comrades. At this point, he would usually offer the bowl to the samurai of highest station, but they were all equal now. They were newly adopted into the Owl Clan, and while they had worked together well, none of them had made any accomplishments that were noted by their new daimyo. He paused for long enough to allow this to become clear, then passed the bowl to his left, to Maseko, as the ceremony was primarily for her benefit. He passed another towel with it, so that each samurai in turn could sip from the bowl, wipe it clean and pass it along.<br/><br/>As he moved through each stage of the ceremony, in perfect silence and perfect focus, he felt clarity returning to his world again.

Shiori feels something catch in her throat.  So this is what Sakurako had been talking about.<br/><br/>It was her turn.  With exquisite care, Shiori raises the bowl to her mouth.  Her delicate lips part slowly, gently, letting the rim of the cup pass between them.  The hot liquid slides into her mouth, pleasantly astringent, cleansing.  Renewing.  Shiori blinks twice, holding the bowl before her, before gently wiping the rim with the towel, and passing both to back to Keitaro.<br/><br/>Once the ceremony was fully complete, each of the samurai having taken their turn, Shiori once more turns her gaze to Keitaro.  ""Keitaro-san... thank you.""  She says, her tone hesitantly warm, almost as though asking permission to express the emotion.  Sitting up as she is, shadows partially hide her face, but her amber eyes seem to shine in the pale light."

Al came down sans the tarp, finding them a table off to the side and partly out of sight.<br/><br/>Their food had been ready... Though he told them to keep it sizzling for a little while.

But as they were now gone, the memories seemed somehow sweeter...<br/><br/>At Lisel's words, Al's eyes fluttered open and he turned hastily to see her, ""What...? Oh..."" It took him a moment to realize. In Alastair's eyes, all people were walking networks of colorful webbing. Softly glowing lines drawn upon a transparent body that marked all of its vulnerabilities. Her clothes were the same, if a little thinner and harder to spot. But he 'could' see them... ""Uhm... Of course,"" He squinted, lifting his head back in an attempt to make the action less obvious. It helped dim the lined a bit. He did notice the weapon on her hip first, ""You're no less dangerous though,"" Alastair commented, his face heating just a little as her natural body took... Shape...

They married soon after Rui’s gempukku ceremony, and dutifully had two children one male and one female to carry on their names. Soichi was a loud boisterous man who rarely held himself back, known for his telling of the tale of the second day of thunder which he regaled people with for many years… until someone took offense to his particular portrayal of Bayushi Kachiko. A few short days later he fell ill and died of unknown causes just a few days before the birth of his last child. Rui was a quiet woman, who thought more than she spoke and tried to instill this in her children whom she feels, without bitterness or regret, ran headlong after their father waving swords and cheering.<br/><br/>Ikoma Tomoyuki was born first, and Hatsu followed just a year after him. Hatsu had somewhat of an early curious streak going when she was young, and often found herself finding things she perhaps should of not. When she was very young she had found some scrolls deep in the back of a dresser that appeared to of belonged to the father she had never met. She of course, had to look at them, to see what this man whom she shared blood with was interested in. Unfortunately, she had not found a collection of his journals, or writings he was fond of. She had however, found a collection of Shunga paintings which, at the time she did not find erotic, rather she found them to be absolutely horrifying and, though she does not talk about the incident or what she has seen, she did come away from the incident with a fairly severe fear of cephalopods due to a bit of a misunderstanding in exactly what that octopus was doing to that lady.<br/><br/>It however, wasn’t just Hatsu who was like that both were mischievous children who always seemed to have their noses or hands in something, while somehow maintaining the intense study needed to become Ikoma Bards.  Eventually they grew up, while retaining their energy learning to focus it into the art of storytelling and the arts of singing and other spoken performance, Hatsu becoming especially revered for her beautiful voice. After long years of study and practice orating their clan history both Children passed their Gempukku Ceremonies quite comfortably.<br/><br/>An exchange needed to be made with the Kuni family, something to bind the drastically different families together in the name of keeping a joint project a trade of the gift of the services of several Ikoma bards in exchange for a marriage and a peace treaty to ward off a Crane advance. Tomoyuki was intended for a young girl named Takoko… but the wedding was quickly called off when Takoko’s first reaction to the young man’s boasting was to hide in her room for hours and then when she could no longer stand it, beat his face in. Rui was on the verge of disgrace, what should of been a simple negotiation was about to be in shambles over a strange little girl and her son’s propensity to boast. Later that night, Hatsu took it upon herself to speak with an available son in the family, and convinced him to volunteer in his sister’s stead to join Hatsu in marriage. It was a clever turn of a disaster into a success for her family.<br/><br/>Kuni no Ikoma Ikatisu set the rules for his marriage very early on, Hatsu would leave his work alone and not try to glorify him, and in exchange he would relent to the rather time consuming process of having a child, which he was not especially thrilled about, despite it being a particular duty of a Rokugani Samurai. This arrangement was soon interrupted by Hatsu being assigned to a very secretive and slightly non-traditional mission in the City of the Rich Frog."

It had only been a few months after her 16th birthday, but she was summoning succubi like a master already, and had spent last night in the loving arms of one of those demonic lovers. Some might joke that having demons as lovers made it difficult to appreciate human lovers, but Carolina didn't care. Demons were better anyway.<br/><br/>Still, she had to cut her wonderful morning short. She woke up naked next to a succubus, and had to dismiss her in an effort to get ready for classes. It was hard to tell who hated it more, her or the demon. After a quick shower, she donned her black dress, grabbed her bookbag (which was enchanted to carry far more then it should) and her staff, then headed out to the academy proper.<br/><br/>She wasn't worried about the entrance test. Her magic and her ability to summon rather powerful demons (well, stronger then imps) would easily put her in the academy. All she had to worry about was showing up on time...which, depending on how things went down, might not happen."

Tavah’s ears, on the other hand, were pointed forward and level with his head; his kind’s version of a neutral, but friendly smile.  Her following remark about the taste of Gnome caused his muzzle to part slightly, though not enough to bare teeth, in his own form of amusement at the exchange.  ”It is curious how you know what you taste like; do Gnomes eat their own kind?  If so, why do you do such if you taste as poorly as you say?”<br/><br/>Tavah’s attempt at adding humor into the conversation seemed to do little to unnerve Minxi as she withdrew a few steps, bumping into another student.  This girl was only half of what he had expected to see; the lower half was entirely a surprise and new to him.  The instrument in her possession wasn’t entirely unlike something that his mother’s kind plays during celebrations.  There was a slight pang of homesickness in the pit of his stomach as a few memories associated to the music of his people came to mind, but Minxi’s nervous apology prevented him from lingering on those thoughts for more than a moment.<br/><br/>His amusement with Minxi only grew as she became more flustered with her situation, this time backing towards Tavah rather than away from him.  Without being aware of what was socially appropriate in the situation, he acted on his instinct to help in his typical direct fashion.  As she backed to within his arm’s length, he spoke in his version of an amused tone. ”Then I shall make sure to protect you from any other Gnome who may wish to taste you.” While Tavah spoke, he reached down, grabbed her at the waist, and effortlessly hoisted her in the air before setting her on his shoulders, allowing her to straddle the back of his neck all in one smooth motion that he had done countless times with the tribe’s younglings.<br/><br/>While the entirety of Tavah’s body was covered in soft fur, Minxi would notice it was particularly lush in a mane around his neck.  ”You may use my horns for balance, just don’t use them to turn my head for your own amusement.”  It was a warning he was in the practice of uttering out necessity for the more exuberant children of his tribe.  Once Minxi was settled on his shoulders, Tavah crouched down on his haunches in a seated position that was natural for his kind.  The sort of warrior’s at-rest position that offered comfort while at the same time allowing him to react easily should the need arise.  His exceptional height allowed him and Minxi to still see above the seated throng of students.<br/><br/>”My name is Tavah, by the way.” Tavah offered in introduction as an after-thought to both the Gnome woman and the half-human before turning his attention to the latter.  ”My people play an instrument similar to that one.  I would like to hear you play it sometime without the noise of people drowning it out.”"

The twins were getting a little bored, it seemed, and she didn't blame them. Standing around and waiting for things to start always made her antsy. Tilly slid her hands down and squeezed at the twins' waists, drawing the lovely pair in closer to her. Kashana mentioned psychic powers and Tilly shrugged her shoulders a little bit.<em>""I don't know any of that,""</em>she said,<em>""Where I'm from they mostly just use elemental magic. Y'know, fire, lightning, ice! The cool shit!""</em>"

Lakashtari's body had responded on its own to the weight of Tilly's wrist sliding down her hip, and from tailbone to knee hollow she was steel, thrumming the dangled tips of those finges with the starched band of her uniform skirt. Each time, there was slightly more slack between her soft pinchable tummy and the peak of freshly minted fabric. And then the equivalent of a whistle blew, and everybody was being ushered in a different direction.<br/><br/>""Okay, see you on the other side!"" Kashana popped up onto her toes to see over the crowd. Not much could be seen through those portals, if the swirl of colors were not just her imagination playing tricks. She took her sister's hand, and together they rolled with the tide of disappearing people toward parts unknown. No fear.<br/>""This is going to be easy.""<br/>""I'm going to climb to the highest dome of the ruins.""<br/>""Not if I get there first!""<br/>Kashana turned to give one last signal to Tilly. Lakashtari stepped through the portal. And then, it changed.<br/><br/>Wind whipped Lakashtari's hair into a streaming turquoise ribbon. The scent of wild grass and old stone pushed into her nose, and she was falling. Without wings, without a parachute. She'd fallen before, on the holy mountain whose slopes were the most treacherous in all the land. On instinct, she filled her head with thought. Lascivious, shameful ideas slipped in and snowballed to power her psionic battery. Gooey ectoplasm covered her hands. She shut her eyes, and tuned out everything except the fantasy. Between her hands, a pole formed, sticky and luminous and like silicone. It wanted to flop around like a wet noodle, but sheer willpower forced it ramrod straight. Lakashtari angled it down to the rapidly approaching ground- moment of truth time.<br/><br/>She was dripping wet as the ectolasmic vaulting pole stuck in the earth. Now she wasn't falling, but sliding down a ghostly blue pole. Legs that had outstretched to the wind whipped in and crossed tight around to feel the slippery glide between her thighs. Panting, slowing, she gingerly touched the mosaic stone of a ruined plaza with the seat of her skirt. But where was Kashana?"

Soon Tilly's turn came and she lept through the gateway as she'd done many times before, though at least this time she knew her destination would probably involve the twins. Right? It had to. Too late now anyway. There was a sensation of being torn apart and thrust back together again as time and space folded to transport her from one location to another. The feeling was starting to become familiar. On the other side she saw a massive acropolis in the distance and ruins of some once great society stretching as far as the eye could see. Thankfully her starting point was much higher up with this fall, so she didn't have to chant in a panic.<br/><br/><em>""One who crosses between sky and earth, gently flowing breeze, gather around me and give sustain me: Diem Wing!""</em>Wind whipped through the air and wrapped around the plummeting mage, slowing her descent and giving her control over her flight path. The blonde soared through the air for some distance, then allowed herself to descend to the ground with surprising grace. After touching down, she adjusted her hat and glanced left and right, looking for either of her new besties.<em>""Hey! Kashana? Lakash.. ash.. Lakahi... Fuck.

Second was that, out of the broken-up and mossy stone that promised to dash her to pieces, there was the most depressed and leafless gallows tree just taking up space. Her heart stopped. She resolved to fall into the tree.<br/><br/>Her white uniform dress shirt was already six ways unbuttoned, and popping the last button was bound to happen in wind like this. Cotton sleeves jumped from her skin and billowed up her reaching arms, caught by the cuffs at the last second. As a parachute, it just didn't function. Kashana twirled a cloth sling up between her wrists, and thrust it into the branches. What dry twigs didn't tear through it like paper snapped, crackled, and popped, peppering her soft mouth with bitter-tasting bark. Yick! But that flecks rained down on her at all meant she had stopped falling. Her heart started again.<br/><br/><em>Kash? </em>The last of her momentum swung her toward the trunk of the tree. Silky legs kicked up to halt herself, and bent so intensely she could feel a tingle down in her core. ""Hnn."" Just as her mound touched the gray trunk, her tattered garment ripped in half, and she dropped the last four feet to a stone plinth. That height was far more manageable.<br/><br/>Heavy breasts heaved, slick with sweat. There was just enough sleeve of her ruined shirt remaining to bind them and tie a simple knot against her ribs. This was, actually, pretty familiar to Kashana. They had grown up in a mountain temple like this, but they had grown up togehter.<em>Tilly? </em>She sat for a moment at the base, and surveyed the gorgeous green world around her.<em>Hat? </em>In the distance, someone had disturbed a flock of birds, but there was a sense in their uncoordinated motion that they weren't often disturbed.

He shook his head to clear it, because he found what he was looking for. An open window near the top of the building. The dragon prince slowed his descent and leveled out, hovering a bit and clapping his hands together now that he was finally here. Flaring his wings, he pressed them against his back and dove toward the window.<br/><br/>He slowed just before he got there and glided right in, then danced among the rafters until he found a nice one he could perch on and listen to the headmaster. There was still a few minutes before the speech, so he started to look around. He saw several interesting people, including a Centaur...Centauress? Twins. A furry guy who with horns who smelled at least sorta like a dragon, a gnome and more. They were all talking amongst themselves, and he didn't care to focus enough to try and hear any one conversation. Instead he just waited for the Headmaster to start his speech. As he explained more and more, a tail sprouted from Aphelion's lower back and started to slowly wave back and forth.<br/><br/>He was getting excited, although he wasn't quite sure about that roommates for five years thing. What if he got partnered with an asshole? Well he could only hope for the best. ""Hmmm. Remus. Did I learn about this place before? Shit!,"" he hissed. He honestly couldn't remember. Maybe it'd come to him later. Good thing his dad wasn't here, or he'd give him an hour long lecture about paying attention to his studies.<br/><br/>When the speech was all said and done, he fold his wings and dropped from the rafters, plummeting without a sound before landing almost as silently despite his size. Easily standing up, he brushed the dust off himself and got in line. He hadn't gotten to talk to anyone due to his tardiness, but he figured if no one talked to him in line, then the first people he'd really meet were the most important ones in his life for the next five years. So no pressure or anything.<br/><br/>If no one got his attention or tried to speak, he'd wait his turn and step through the portal. His stomach turned like it did when he went through free fall. And then he<em>was</em>free falling. He'd just gotten to this place and it was already reminding him of home. Buuuut, only a fool allowed themselves to fall forever if they didn't have an alternative. Spreading his wings, he caught the air and flapped them slowly to hover in place. He wasn't so much looking for anyone at the moment, as he preferred to find who he found instead of trying to force it. No, he was honestly just taking in the view...and trying to get a good read on the different streets, but the problem with a huge city, even a ruined one was that it was basically a maze. Still, he got as good a picture as he could before gliding down and landing gently on his feet. ""Okay. Now where do I begin?"""

Despite being easily well-armed for it with the tricks her briefcase held, the meek futanari was a woman of science and clearly not a fighter as her choice of dress obviously had shown. Nonetheless, the terrified scientist had put her trust in the briefcase her parents had collaborated on for her going-away gift, knowing of the many utilities it had in order to preserve her well-being (having used the energy shield function previously to improvise an umbrella against the wide splash). The blue-haired sprite of a girl then continued to surprise the amazed redhead as she pulled out a mask and, most notably, a massive warhammer. Hearing a sudden cry of ""Hello!"", she jumped a bit and turned to find that when she was just getting a hint used to one adorable being, fate sicked another one upon her in the form of a cute mousegirl.

A loud cry rips from her as one of the claws gives a loud<strong>CRACK</strong>before breaking off and flying away trailing blood. The rest of her claws retract as she huffs and thrusts out one leg, the blow against the wall giving her falling form enough of a sideways boost that she lands in the water of the harbor with a rather poor bellyflop and loud splash instead of splatting against the harder ground."

Whichever the reason, the crowed seemed to offer little resistance as they parted around him with various expressions that he paid little mind to as his eyes were fixated upon the portal.  Once his turn was nearly at hand, he stood fascinated by the mesmerizing swirls of light and color for a moment before snapping himself out of the trance.  ”It would seem this is where we part ways.”  Tavah said to his passenger before crouching to allow her to slide off.  Once he felt her weight slide to the ground, he stood and made sure his belongings were secured for the freefall.  ”I hope our paths cross again soon.”<br/><br/>With his farewell said to Minxi, Tavah turned and stepped into the whirling void only to feel his stomach rise to his chest and the wind rushing through his fur at increasing speed as he fell.  Adrenaline coursed through his body, slowing his perception of time while he took stock of his surroundings.  He was a fair way up to be sure, but it was more on par with falling from the tallest trees of his jungle rather than from the height the airplane soared.  He found himself falling towards what appeared to be a bunch of closely spaced decaying wooden structures.  Seeing no other way around it, Tavah flattened himself out to slow his fall as much as possible hoping that the shabby buildings were as decayed as they looked.  An instant before impacting an overgrown roof, he gritted his teeth and tucked himself into a tight ball.<br/><br/><strong><em>CRASH</em></strong><br/><br/>Tavah hit the wooden structure like a cannonball, breaking through the rotten wood with his arms, shins, and tail leading the charge.  A pained snarl escaped his muzzle as he felt the heavy impact, his velocity slowing considerably, but with enough left over to continue through the dilapidated wooden second floor with another cacophony of splintering waterlogged wood.  Mercifully, the floor of the ground level had been bare earth with the consistency just this side of mud rather than stone that helped to substantially pad his landing.  Even still, Tavah growled in frustrated discomfort as his limbs ached with a bone-deep tingling sensation that took several moments to subside enough for him to feel motivated to step out of the divot he left behind in the earth.  The next few minutes he walked out of the shabby building and into the weathered street, brushing the slivers of soggy wood and making an effort to work out the tenderness that lingered in his muscles.  Tavah was thankful that his progeny had taken to the trees for shelter and likewise adapted the bone density to endure such falls, granted this particular example had been pushing the limits and fortune had saw it fit to provide him an accommodating crash site."

A cold breeze filled the air and little freezing particles swirled in Tilly's hand. The particles quickly gathered into horizontal lines, forming tiny arrows. The mage presses her hand to the stomach of the roc and calls out the finale of her chant, letting out a loud yell of <strong><em>""Freeze Arrow!""</em></strong><br/><br/>The spell, usually conjured outside in the open air, because of the position Tilly's hand, was now instead conjured up inside the monster itself. The roc let out a tormented cry as large icy arrows sprung from it's body, a shocked look on the monster's face a moment before it's entire being turned into a frozen block. The creature began to plummet at high speed back to the ground. Tilly released her grasp and pushed herself off the solidified body just as the hat spoke again.<br/><br/><strong><em>""Diem Wing!"" </em></strong><br/><br/>Wind whipped around the mage and she sailed through the air, her descent slowing before stopping entirely and leaving her hovering in the air. The roc hit the ground and shattered into a hundred glittering pieces.  Tilly directed herself back to the ground, the flight spell vanishing as her feet touched earth. She sighed and brushed herself off a little. <br/><br/><em>""Well that thing was pretty weak,""</em> she said, glancing back at her companion, <em>""If that's the kinda monster we have to deal with then we should be fine!""</em></em>"

He could focus fine, but he knew so far he wasn't even partially completed with his objective since he hadn't met anyone. That meant until that happened, he could divide his attentions between other things going on in the necropolis-like ruins of this massive temple and the surrounding area. And that meant every few feet, he'd spot a scurrying critter, or a piece of history. He was in no rush. Not until he found someone at least. And he didn't feel threatened in the slightest.<br/><br/>He was confident he could handle anything that he came across, if he even came across anything in the first place. When he came to a four way street junction, he slithered up a wall like a gecko and perched on top of a halfway crumbled building. He put his nose to the air and his forked tongue flicked out between his lips. He could smell some of the other students. The twins from before. The witch with the talking hat. And armor. He smelled armor. He couldn't tell exactly where they were though, as the ancient smells of the temple were still powerful and extremely varied. He could have sensory overload if he tried too hard to focus on any one thing. He could hear echoes of conversations as well.<br/><br/>It was tempting to go find them. It probably would make things easier. Before he could decide on anything though, he heard<em>""Fireball!""</em>carried on the wind, and then a fireball soared skyward, only to turn into a massive explosion that ignited at the treeline nearby where he was. The shockwave reached even him, ruffling his clothes and causing his second pair of eyelids to instinctively close. ""Guess my choice was made for me!"" Aphelion's voice was anxious and excited, and in moments his wings were fully extended and he was flapping into the air.<br/><br/>That bird received a glare from him, but he didn't bother it, instead deciding to fly pretty low over the buildings toward the explosion. He sniffed the air as he tore through the sky, but at this point all he could smell was fire and flame. He arrived at the girls location just as the Roc was getting destroyed. He saw a fleeting glimpse of the frozen creature, and then she was shattered. Coming to a stop in the air, he looked at the flames still burning in the trees. Well if they weren't stopped, the whole damn forest would burn down.<br/><br/>So he took a deep breath for nearly a minute, then aimed at the trees and blew hard, belching out a whirling cone of wind that blew the fires right out. Turning on his wings, Aphelion swooped down and dropped to the ground to land on all fours, then stood up and looked at the two gathered girls. ""Nice signal flare. I'm Aphelion. Good to meet you both,"" he said as he slowly walked forward with a fanged smile. His tail slowly whipping back and forth behind him while his wings folded over his shoulders like a cloak."

The twin realized he was who he said he was, somehow gleaning it from the way he moved. Her statement got the witch to calm the fuck down. And now that he wasn't being attacked, he could focus. And one of the most prominent things he had no choice but to focus on were the waves of horny rolling off both women. Well he hadn't meant to interrupt, but they were on a mission right now and they were the ones who ended up together. They needed to get this done, and then they could fuck all they wanted to celebrate. Maybe he could even join in somewhere, but he figured it was more important to pass and get accepted than fuck and fail.<br/><br/>""Of course I'm a hero. My father would knock me silly if I did anything but uphold our family legacy as good dragons."" The twin introduced them as Kashana and Chantilly. She also forwent an apology, which he wasn't sure if he expected him to not notice or something, but he let it go. And figured that if no apologies were a thing, then in the future he had at least one fuck up he didn't need to claim. Good to know. They already knew his name, so when she said her sister would arrive in two minutes, he sniffed the air and looked in the direction she and the armored one were coming from.<br/><br/>""You're right."" He shrugged at having missed a monster though. He'd fought them before. He was a dragon who lived high in the mountains and could fly across the country on a whim; of course he'd come across monsters before. ""I'll be sure I can wrap my claws around the next one,"" he said before looking at Tilly and raising an eyebrow. Not only from the conversation she was having with her hat, but how casual and nonchalant she was about still wanting to kill him. ""Then I guess it's fair game I kinda wanna<em>eat you</em>for shooting arrows at my face, even though I<em>didn't</em>know any of that when I got here.""<br/><br/>He offered a fanged smile when he said it, but it was just as capable as being true as it was a joke. If she could speak bluntly, so could he. When the other twin and the warrior showed up, he nodded to them both. ""I'm Aphelion. Good to meet you both. And thanks for not trying to<em>immediately</em>murder me,"" he emphasized as he looked over at Chantilly. Then he just watched Renilda grope his chest over his clothes before agreeing to Chantilly's plan to have the more durable people act as human shields for her and the twins. Greeeeat teamwork and strategy. Renilda agreed though, and honestly so did he.<br/><br/>He just wished she actually showed some care or concern for people who were supposed to be her teammates. ""I agree with her. I've got no problem getting up close and personal. Just don't try and burn my tail off or something when you're supposed to be watching our backs."" When the rain started to pour, he looked up to the sky and let his wings sprout from his back so he could wrap them around himself like a cloak once again. He would have offered them as shelter from the rain, but he wasn't sure any of these women would even accept. Renilda then slapped his ass, which he took with a small hop and a grunt. Then he smacked her ass right back and started walking. They could hear fighting further along, making him clench his hands and causing his claws to gently dig into his flesh. He was honestly ready for a fight. They just needed to find one."

Little concern for what those sounds were ahead, less concern for actually winning this literal team-building exercise. The freedom to find their own path, and hop up and explore every outcropping of ruined building, was too great. Kashana called out a graveyard of broken statues over one crest, shielding her eyes from the sun. ""You can see that one's penis,"" she reported. ""He's totally uncut.""<br/><br/>Lakashtari took the higher ground. Her balance along the broken edges of toppled architecture was impeccable, and her sense of solid footing never steered her wrong as she hopped across illusory bridges of packed earth just waiting to crumble. ""I bet there's a medusa ahead.""<br/>""No way.""<br/>""Then where did all the statues come from?""<br/>""Temples. Museums."" Kashana turned her eyes away from them. ""Not anything sinister like that."" She was looking to her allies for confirmation that this was probably reasonable.<br/><br/>Renilda went running ahead to the sound of battle.

""No gorgons here, nor their magic. I'd be able to sense it."" Dragons were hunters. The top of the food chain in the world. And their senses were built around that fact. Eyesight, smell, taste, touch, hearing; all of it at a level that allowed them to ferret their prey out wherever they hid. They were even attuned to the magic of the world around them. And while he'd have liked to fight a Gorgon, potentially getting turned to stone wasn't a fun thought. Continuing on, the group ran, wondering where the fight was.<br/><br/>Something felt wrong though. And at the last second he smelled fowl. Heard it too right as a goose crossed their path. Curses! The rain was washing away the scent of most everything around them. But rain didn't block his ears and he heard the heavy clopping of hooves, but the pattern sounded like two legs instead of four. ""Minotaurs"", he said with complete certainty. And they weren't far behind the goose, clopping to a stop to take in the adventurers and making a note that the ladies would make nice breeders for their father. No...no they wouldn't. Before he could make a move, Renilda started singing...well melodic shouting was a better term.<br/><br/>But it went along with her stomping on the ground and clanging her sword. And he felt it. He felt her magic surging in his body, getting his adrenaline going, getting him<em>pumped</em>. He started to stomp the ground with her until she was finished. When she was, the tip of his tail shifted into something that resembled a spiked club, and he lashed it violently at the ground, tearing a chunk of the stone away. His posture lowered and his lips rolled back to bare his fangs.<br/><br/>He opened his hands and his claws extended, while a pattern of golden scales showed on his skin that turned rigid and hard like armor. Even his wings grew spiked on the tips. A growl rumbled low in his throat before it turned into a snarling challenge. ""Sorry it was us you ran into. Your father is going to be disappointed."" He looked at Renilda with a glance that said, ""Watch this"", then huffed, causing tongues of flame licked around the corners of his mouth. Baring his fangs again, he leaned down and suddenly rushed forward at an impossible angle that would have caused anyone without a flexible lizard spine to tip over face first into the ground. His target was the closest minotaur, and when he was close enough, he exploded up, driving his armored shoulder up into her gut with a shoulder charge that would send her flying up, away, and through one the thick stone pillars surrounding them."

Neither of them was all that strong, separately. But give Kashana the crumbling fang of a broken column to kick, and Lakashtari good footing to guide her swing, and they were magnificent together.<br/>""Hup."" A moment later, the colonnade gave, but by then they were already running along the beam in the sky, giving chase to the minotaur Aphelion had knocked into next Tuesday.<br/><br/>""Don't see her,"" said Lakashtari. How far had they ranged already from Aphelion and Renilda? They were too independent for their own good.<br/>""Ok. Give me a sec."" They paused together. Lakashtari was her sister's keeper as Kashana's eyes went white and her consciousness broadcast out in invisible radio waves. A pulse, and a crackle of white-hot electricity. The air became so energized with thoughtwave that gravity died and her hair began to drift and wave, her heavy breasts buoyed in zero G. ""Ffffuck me, this is ten different kinds of crazy.""<br/><br/>It was disorienting as the worst drug trip, translating psychic feedback to senses oriented to the physical world. Motion sickness didn't begin to cover the dizzying disconnect. If Lakashtari hadn't been there to hold her hand, she might've tumbled from the colonnade like a ragdoll and broken her neck. ""I feel... something.""<br/>""Is she ready to surrender?""<br/>""I dunno."" Color rushed back to Kashana's eyes. She led her sister to where they might find a humbled minotaur."

""I'm sorry I got knocked out, Kash. I guess this is our life now."" Mindful that the minotaur did not want to see her twitching cock, she covered it with her hands as she opened her legs. Her toes were nervous and needed something to do besides hover in the air, so she climbed a leg up the cage bars to one side. Her thighs were taut as steel.<br/>""It's okay, I mean the school will probably rescue us? They'd be in trouble if they didn't."" Lakashtari traced the tribal tattoos low on the minotaur's belly as she watched. ""And now we've been fisted, so we're like, next level lesbians, and how cool is that."""

The minotaur's loincloth was not such a good fit- the belt had to slant across her narrower hips, and always give a daringly low flash of skin, but the gossamer cloth still did the job of covering her. Just for her own satisfaction, she donned minotaur girl's bell collar, too. Why not? It was cute, it jingled.<br/><br/>""I think we're ready to go now."" The sisters stepped out their cage, and there was the portal.

But still, team fucking fluffy? Was it a rule that team names could only be one word? Cause if so, perhaps his hands were tied. But still, anything but a name that wasn't even appropriate!

There had never been any plan to actually reciprocate, only a selfish curiosity. Sometimes, there were surprises in a young woman's life, and plans changed.<br/><br/>Lakashtari slipped out of the bed and came to stand in the heap of Tavah's discarded leathers. She needed to rise to the ball of her toes to stand hip to hip with Tavah, and still was shorter than he. But when her thumbs hiked up the pleats of her skirt and dragged down the side strings of her panties with a juddering scrape on soft skin, she was just the right height to spring against his shaft. There were definitely some differences between drawolf and human. Lakashtari was only a little more than half his size, knotless, and strawberry-headed like a fairy mushroom. But there were differences between man and futa, too. She was stiff in the way a nipple grew stiff, pink and sensitive and pleading for touch, instead of veiny and purple and driven by testosterone to conquer.<br/><br/>Kashana stood on the other side.

This was above and beyond what she'd intended.<br/><br/>Kashana's knees separated. There was a bellydancer's art to keeping her cock veiled and out of sight. Between minotaur and Tavah she was learning that this was a part of her nobody wanted to see. Maybe it was because she was a smidgen smaller than Lakashtari. ""Ok."" Her fingers glided aside and the light shone off a cleft mound shorn and waxed as a monk's tradition demanded. The tiny tan-pink likeness of a swaddled Mother Mary was not very much to look at either. She spread it open explicit as a showy flower. ""Are we going to fuck?

I want some too?”</em><br/><br/><strong>”Won’t know-mmmf- until after.”</strong>Tavah could feel Kashana nearing the middle of his knot with each subsequent thrust and was eager to press beyond the widest part of his member.  With one particularly powerful thrust, he felt her tightness take the extreme of his girth and with an ecstatic growling moan, felt the rest of his length effectively get pulled into her ass by the shear shape of his knot until he was hilted inside of Kashana.  Her inner walls clamped tightly around the most sensitive portion of his cock, making the pleasure almost unbearably intense.  Still, Tavah didn’t relent.  Even though his motion was more limited, the strength of his arms and abdomen more than made up for it.  Bit by bit, Kashana would feel the knot beginning to swell as the rest of his body language was showing signs of his gradually approaching climax.<br/>"

Bounced between punishing microthrusts and the firm academy issue bed, she steadily lost her breath in the claustrophobic space under Tavah. At first she was huffing along with his deep push, then panting, and finally drawing ragged breath that could not be mistaken for anything but fucking even if there was any privacy in their shared quarters. There was not. Kashana's sodomizing was on display to the rest of the team.<br/><br/>Lakashtari held her hands as delicately as elven filigree as Tavah pounded the knot into her like the finishing slams of a railroad spike, whole body effort that left Kashana's mouth slick with drool. Her legs stretched to either side of his muscled flanks and reached skyward in celebration, firming until they shivered. Feebly her untouched cock pushed back against the drag of his fur. Immediately she came from the tickle, spurting teased and thick up her own tummy to her crushed breasts.<em>""Oh, oh, oh!"" </em><br/><br/>""She says don't stop,"" Lakashtari whispered into his felt ear. ""She says if you help her push her knees to her shoulders, you can go even deeper."" Lakashtai was not sure how to kiss him, but her hormones were a boiling hot mess that would not just sit quietly. Her soft lips pressed his muzzle. Drew down a little to the lip, to tickle and coax out the tongue. There- she took it in her mouth, and fought to keep it there. Never mind the sharp predator's teeth. ""What happens,"" she managed with a string of his spit clinging to her lip, ""what happens if you knot a girl's throat, could she breathe?"" She made herself excited, and her kissing became aggressive, searching relentlessly for attention. ""I want that, I want you to knot my throat."" The way she pushed her breasts up under his chin, she might have been trying to pry him off Kashana, but they were one mind, two bodies, each wanting an equal share.<br/><br/>Now four Nepalese mountain girl hands were clutching at his fur, tugging, pulling him up to kiss, no, down to fuck, no, one side to receive a nip to the ear. It wasn't fair that Kashana should get all of the attention. Lakashtari was beginning to lose patience."

It was counterproductive to squeeze him to her chest while fighting to breathe, but, she wanted both things at once. And there was Lakashtari climbing onto his back, pooling her breasts into the muscle of his shoulders through a thin veneer of uniform shirt. The sisters were cuddlers. Together they dragged him down into a crowded bed made for one. Five minutes, fifteen minutes, three hours, time was immaterial. Lakashtari's toned leg tangled up in his tail and tucked it neatly into their three body knot, heaving, glistening, hot like a well used machine.<br/><br/>Kashana's toes started to uncurl. Then with a hypnic jerk, she reset to full tension. The knot still inside her elicited a honeyed, slavering pant. A lot had to happen to hold twelve inches up her ass, and her body was not at all ready to relax. Both small teen asshole and colon were forced to dilate around his lingering girth. The transverse folds that could bring her to her knees over a little pressure were crushed uselessly against her walls, urgently tickling her brain with<em>this is too much, it's too big, emergency. </em>""Mm, ah,"" she pant instead of answering whether she was alright. She squirmed, teased, begging.<br/>Lakashtari was not worried. ""Yes I'm fine, thanks. She's having a<em>very </em>good time.""<br/><br/>They both were quiet for a minute.<br/>In shared mental space Kash and Kash sat at the same tea table in an imagined white room. Lakashtari groomed her disheveled sister.<br/><em>I ache all over, did a minotaur hit me again? </em><br/><em>Nope. Tavah just bummed you senseless </em><br/>The tension in her limbs started to relieve. Her worried brow relaxed. Toes uncurled and dragged languorously down Tavah's legs. She exhaled.<br/><em>I didn't embarrass myself, right? </em><br/><em>Don't worry, it was totally hot </em><br/><br/>Kashana stirred. She pressed Tavah's shoulders to roll him onto his back- and that was quite a feat, but she had Lakashtari beneath him providing leverage. Now she was atop, her turquoise hair hanging, the knot solidly inside her. From ribs to tailbone she undulated slowly like an ocean wave. If she were going to endure the knot being relentlessly teased, then she would tease him. Too sensitive to bear stimulation? Nonsense. Kashana smiled at him with the corners of her mouth and swiveled. Squeezed, then released. The effort made her grunt. She squeezed, rippled down like a shiver, released. Squeezed, wagged an imaginary tail, released. Yes, he had better be ready for Lakashtari in five minutes, because this was not going to stop until he was.<br/><br/>Did he have nipples under that white fur? Lakashtari tested with her wet fingers. When she found a likely nub, she circled around and around until the dainty digit ran dry, then wet it again. ""You don't have to worry about us. Mountain temple monks are trained to endure punishment. The mind will overcome."" The fingers of her other hand found his navel. ""That's called discipline."" Teeth nipped at the nape of his neck."

So she hadn't actually felt all there was to feel, being emptied of a foot-long cock after so long accustomed to it was a new kind of overwhelming. What was pulled from her left her shrinking tight and aching in a tight sliver like a fuse burning down, and even the tip felt ten times fatter than it truly was. She hit the bed with a freed jiggle and bowed her useless knees together in a pyramid, done. Finished. No more. But, she had this sister...<br/><br/>Lakashtari was fully charged. Thin waves of light rolled from her temple as she pressed her brow to Tavah's. A surging hormonal mind was a wellspring of psychic energy, and it poured off her like a goddess as she spoke into his mind, not in anything as slow as words, but in feelings, urges, concepts. She had become obsessed with the idea of taking his knot down her throat and being trapped there, and filled his mind with her filthy little thoughts, some completely unhinged from reality. She had a cloth in her hand as their skulls touched, and she was wiping down Tavah's cock until it felt smoothly polished. Straight from Kashana's ass was too much to ask of even these permissive sisterly bonds.<br/><br/>Without words she shared with Tavah her niggling need to be taken somewhere dangerous, lose control, have her senses dominated. Her night would not be complete without it. Maybe these urges signed with Lakashtari's mental wavelength were meant to stroke his ego, but they were not anything as wheedling as insincere begging. There was no faking her naked, honest desires.<br/><br/>""But you're still good to go, right?"" Lakashtari asked. Mental contact broke as she bounced back, willingly lost her balance and dropped supine on the bedsheets.<br/>""It's a little more intense than I think you realize, Kash. He's really big and your eyes water if you swallow a jellybean.""<br/>Lakashtari scoot on her elbows to the very edge of the bed, and hung her head over so Tavah could stand over her. Whether that was most comfortable for him was immaterial- that was how it looked in her fantasy. ""That's different."" Her turquoise hair fanned in her hands and spilled clear down the edge, all the way to the shared dorm floor. Blood rushed to her head as she tidied her torn uniform and fiddled with what to do with her arms. Crossed? Squeezed up beside her breasts? Under her back like a prisoner? Hmm.<br/>""I don't see how it's different at all.""<br/>Lakashtari smiled, upside-down. ""This time, somebody else is doing it to me."""

With her elbows for a tripod she pursued the upcurved tip with her lips, only to nuzzle him away with her face. The peaks of her lips touched, and wrapped to suckle the underside. Eyes shadowed by his fur she mouthed to discover where along the shaft she was. His anatomy was unfamiliar. Eventually, if she kept sliding one direction, eventually there would be a tip.<br/><br/>It surprised her how far she had to slide her lips like an inchworm. Spit she'd left thinking she was almost there wiped across her brow. Kashana seemed to sense her doubt as to whether this would ever fit down her throat, and watched tensely. Finally, the lupine tip bobbed onto the velvet curl of her tongue. She claimed the inhuman thing with her smooth cafe au lait lips and brought it into the heat of her mouth. A gymnastic pink tongue smothered to feel. She wanted to get a sense of the tip that would be leading the charge. She took her time with it, inspecting every curve with the tip of her tongue in search of some imperfection that might wound her. It was smooth. She allowed it.<br/><br/>Kashana peeled her eyes from watching in order to meet Tavah's from across the bed. ""She says she's ready."""

You will be able to tell what my adjudications is by the GOLDENROD ITALICS at the bottom of your post.<br/><br/><em><strong>DIVINE COMMUNING</strong></em><br/><br/>#8. Feel free to use the In-Character Threads as a way of communicating IC (in-character) with other players. Out of character conversations should be private, so as not to confuse the others. Feel free to make alliances, coordinate your turns to accomplish greater things, and generally be social with the other gods. This is also an excellent way of using tokens in trade with other gods.<br/><br/><br/>#9 - Redacted.<br/><br/><em><strong>THE DOMINO EFFECT</strong></em><br/><br/>#10. The DOMINO effect is a term used to describe some action that could be construed as more than one ACT (by FRED) and runs the risk of the Wrath of FRED, but essentially accomplishes ONE ACT and therefore evades my direct intervention.<br/>Such ACTS test the limits of what is allowed and are subject to my interpretation as per the WRATH OF FRED.<br/><br/><strong><em>GODS, IMMORTALS, DEMIGODS and MORTALS</em></strong><br/><br/>#11. Gods - are beings of incredible power, they cannot die, they cannot be hindered. They can be annoyed or tricked and sometimes they can even miss a thing or two. They can ACT and all other beings may not.<br/><br/>Immortals - are beings that do not age, that do not get sick or die of any natural cause. They can be slain or imprisoned by a mortal if aided by divinity. They can possess great power and are generally able to sense the movements of gods. Finally, they can directly interact with gods without fear of madness or destruction. Often they possess a soul. They can interact with any being in creation without fear of harming them. Although mortals may greatly fear the Immortals for their level of power.<br/><br/>Demigods - are creatures spawned by the immaculate consummation of gods and mortals(or gods who make themselves fleshy like mortals). These are beings of divine inspiration and power. They cannot ACT(although gods may still post what they are attempting). They cannot witness divinity without harm(blindness, deafness, etc. may result FRED will use a randomizer to check) Although they can handle Items of Power and possess great powers upon inception. They can instinctively know the will of their creator or parent and will often possess the greatest attribute of the god. However they do age and eventually die(even if this is far beyond normal mortal aging).<br/><br/>Mortals - are frail beings of flesh or non-divine components. Often they possess a soul(this is of course up to the gods to define). There are two types, simple life and sentient life and sometimes they have been known to intertwine in the details(intelligent fish for instance, White stags of a magical nature, etc). Simple life cannot generally command anything, it is life that is at the behest of the gods and their power. Sentient life can command forces(technology, tools, magic, etc.) and are usually quite social beings, but not always. Mortals cannot stand the sight or sound of a god, cannot handle the raw power of a god's full attention on them or their touch. This is known as MORTAL BURN.<br/><br/>Each of these forms of mortal life have a few common conditions that define them AS life. Each can be defined by the gods as life begins.<br/>*Prior to this definition, there can be no sentients mortals as they would not be alive, it would only be a primordial lifeform, lacking wholeness. Each trait will cost Divine Tokens, as seen in THE VAULT thread.<br/><br/>All Life(primarily simple):<br/>1.) Needs(life cannot exist without ie: Air, Water or Food (however gods may changes these if they care to)<br/>2.) Reproductive Ability.<br/>3.) Sense the world around them and react.<br/>Optional add-ons: Move under own power(animal life), specific food/sustenance needs and niche adaptations.<br/><br/>Sentient:<br/>1.) A complex mind(even if it's a little slow)<br/>2.) the ability to manipulate the world around them in some fashion<br/>3.) The ability to fulfill their needs.<br/><br/><strong><em>ADDENDI</em></strong><br/><br/>ADDENDUM: THE WRATH OF FRED<br/><br/>AND FINALLY, a better idea of what exactly the Wrath of AO is... it is essentially GM's fiat, that is whatever gets -me- going (and more often than not even if it is damaging to whatever long term plans you might have it is at least interesting). Don't complain! Anyone who suffers the Wrath of AO (no matter how little or how much) took a -risk- WILLINGLY.<br/><br/>ADDENDUM II: The Passing of AEONS<br/><br/>AEONS are like chapters. At some point, the Fred will call for a vote to initiate a new AEON, for which a majority wins. If the AEON does NOT pass, then FRED will begin to intervene directly in the affairs of creation more often (and his WRATH will become more CHAOTIC and UNPREDICTABLE). Eventually, FRED will call for another vote by the same rules, and with the same outcome if it is not passed.s<br/><br/>When a new AEON is opened, the last one is closed. A lengthy undisclosed amount of time passes for which the cosmos to adevelop unmolested by the gods. A short description by FRED, much like a State of the Union address, will head each AEON and set-the-stage so to speak.<br/><br/>At the beginning of the new AEON (that is after the first) each deity is required to declare a portfolio (and therefore their intentions). Portfolios are one word (or sentence) describing what element, race, thing, etc. that your god wants to be associated with. Gods may share portfolios, and they need not be concrete things, they may be abstract ideas.<br/><br/>FRED'S Note: There will be three and only three Aeons.  After that, this game and the fruits thereof will morph into something else.<br/><br/>ADDENDUM III: CHARACTER SHEETS<br/><br/>-Redacted.<br/><br/>ADDENDUM IV: DIVINE TOKEN ACTS<br/><br/>REDACTED.<br/><br/>Mystery ACTs: You will have<del>3</del>1 Mystery ACTs per Aeon available to use. A Mystery ACT is an ACT communicated to FRED solely through a private line in a post. Other Gods will not know the subject of such an ACT unless the God who so ACTed tells them of the deed. Of course, the Gods can infer what they will from the consequences of the ACT, which may or may not be subtle.<br/><br/>The MYSTERY ACT should be hinted at within a regular act like this and then outlined in a Private Line:<br/>FRED's post:<br/>FRED begins to stroll by the waters of the Great Lake known as Eerie, a place of strange happenings and many sightings of bizarre phenomenon. AO smiles mischieviously as he bends down to stir something into the water of the Lake.<br/><br/>FRED drops something into the water of Lake Eerie.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>ACTs of Knowledge: (ACTs used to ask questions that FRED must answer) touching upon MYSTERY ACTs will be carefully adjudicated on a case-by-case basis. In any event, even if the nature of a Mystery ACT is revealed, the God who ACTed will remain anonymous, unless there is an indirect way of acquiring that information.<br/><br/>CREATION OF ITEMS OF POWER: There are two kinds of ARTIFACTS; the first has already been explained (see #5. STASIS). The second kind is a NON-STASIS ARTIFACT also known as an ITEM OF POWER (which can become a STASIS ARTIFACT as well).<br/><br/>*An ITEM OF POWER not merely a magic item (which are subject to the laws of magic as defined by whatever the Gods will it to be).<br/><br/>The power can be anything (but is essentially one of the three types listed below) but counts as one of your moves for a day. Up to three POWERS can be invested, and this works just like your ACTs; in fact it counts as however many ACTs are converted into POWERS.<br/><br/>ARTIFACTS can be used by mortals and ultimately their use is out of your control. However, you can certainly send portents and dreams to mortals (such a message is an ACT) telling them what you want them to do with it. They don't have to do it (unless you spend a whole ACT making them) but will probably. Destruction of ARTIFACTS is impossible except by the deity who made it (or by BACKLASH and hence the Wrath of FRED).<br/><br/>All powers must conform to one of the following IN ESSENCE (that is they can be described cosmetically, but they are still essentially the same):<br/><br/>ALTER (nothing damaging, but can warp things dramatically)<br/>DESTROY (full on entropy, this power does exactly what it says)<br/>PRESERVE (this one is usually for a STASIS ARTIFACT but can be used for preservation of something else besides a deity)<br/>Commune (This is the power a god can imbue in the Item of Power through which he can guide a mortal or small group without harm.)<br/><br/>**These ACTs are used in conjunction with normal ACTs and DIVINE TOKENS, used in a particular manner. IE: You use your normal ACT to perform a Knowledge ACT, Mystery ACT or a Mystery Knowledge ACT, IN ADDITION TO PAYING DIVINE TOKENS."

Some of us are capable of multiple 'attacks' For instance, Tilly can cast two spells a round (hat and her) and Candie can attack with multiple creatures in a round (3 angry chipmunks). But other people look like they're set for a single powerful strike (Riley's hammer).<br/><br/>So would Candie be capable of taking out 3 pips (ie, 3 attacks) and Tilly 2 pips (2 attacks) in a round, or would those be considered one attack (3 chipmunks = one attack, 2 chipmunks = 1 attack, 1 chipmunk = 1 attack, 2 spells = 1 attack, or 1 spell = 1 attack) and therefore worth 1 pip?<br/><br/>I vote for the 1 attack ruling. This would mean that a kungfu master who can land 3000 blows in 3 seconds still only does 1 attack, as opposed to 3000 attacks."

The siege engine operates as if it were crewed by a number of medium creatures equal to 1 for every 4 caster levels of the spell. The number of available crew members can be reduced to add different effects to the siege engine. For every crew member given up, the siege engine can have an additional ammunition type it can fire other than standard, or the siege engine can have add +1 to its magic weapon bonus. For example, a light ballista summoned by a 12th level caster has a pool of up to 3 crew members. Since a light ballista only requires 1 crew member, this can be a +2 magic light ballista, a +1 magic light ballista that can fire standard or entangling bolts, or a normal light ballista with standard bolts and two special ammunition types. The siege engine otherwise operates as normal with standard hit points, movement speed, aiming time, and loading time for a siege engine of its type and magic bonus. At 15th level, treat the siege engine as if it were manned by  a crew with the master siege engineer feat. The type of ammunition loaded into the siege engine must be decided at the beginning of a loading cycle, not when fired. A siege engine can only be fully crewed by this spell, for instance, a Firewyrm cannot be summoned with less than 5 crew."

Curiosuly, that heffer was the daughter of a minotaur crime lord, and so Madam Matador joined the avian mafia and sowed the seeds of a gang war with the minotaurs. She rose through the ranks quickly, racking up quite the body count until she became the right wing girl of the duck don. The gang war is over, the avian mafia came out on top, and now Madam Matador is in line to become the new boss of the avian mafia once the duck don kicks the bucket."

This is not required to cast the spell, only sheer force of will is. However, using the incantation grants the spell much more power and control.<br/>-Magic is physically exhausting. A mage of Tilly's caliber can cast low-level spells (Fireball, Flare Arrow, Lighting, Levitation) all day and not feel it, but constant use of the more 'heavy hitting' spells will leave her tired and in dire need of energy, most likely from food and drink. This is why mages are usually slender. Casting magic draws upon the body's stores of energy and highly active mages burn calories fast. Magical energy also depends on the physical condition of the sorcerer/sorceress, so sustaining physical harm will impact that mage's ability to cast spells.<br/>-Generally, only one spell can be sustained at a time. There are some exceptions with extremely simple spells (Levitation, Lighting) but for the most part, the will required to sustain magic means only one can be used at a time. Tarnkappe allows for Chantilly to cast two spells at once, or double cast a single spell to make it extra effective.<br/><br/><strong><span class=""bbc_u"">Bomb Di Wind</span></strong><br/><em>""Wind which blows across eternity, gather in my hands and become my strength! Bomb Di Wind!""</em><br/>Creates a compressed ball of air that explodes upon  striking something. Bursts, scattering high-pressure winds strong enough to blow back creatures and objects of small to medium weight.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Diem Wing</strong></span><br/><em>""You who crosses between sky and earth, gently flowing breeze, gather around me and sustain me! Diem Wing!""</em><br/>Wraps the user in flowing winds which allow them to fly freely through the air for as long as the spell is maintained. The heavier the creature flying, the more effort it takes to maintain the spell. Thus, the spellcaster would expend much more energy when lifting or carrying someone.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Fireball</strong></span><br/><em>""Oh, source of all power, light which burns beyond crimson, let thy power gather in my hand! Fireball!""</em><br/>A ball of fire appears between the hands of the caster which can then be thrown. Upon contact with an object, the ball explodes, spreading flames. Caution is necessary when using this spell in enclosed area or forests because this spell affects a wide area. This is the most popular offensive spell. Chantilly has mastered this spell and can cause it to explode on command, or summon it places besides her hands.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Freeze Arrow</strong></span><br/><em>""You who crosses between sky and earth, gently flowing water gather in my hand, and give me power! Freeze Arrow!""</em><br/>The spell makes several ice arrows appear near the caster and then fly towards the target, freezing it. If they pierce it, they freeze the target from the inside-out. Can also be used to freeze the ground or other structures.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Flare Arrow</strong></span><br/><em>""All power that flows has you as it's source, into my hands ignite all it's force! Flare Arrow!""</em><br/>A spell which makes several fire arrows appear around the caster, and fly directly towards a target. The spell can be used to attack, or to make something catch on fire. The number of arrows that can be created depends on the caster's skill. Through careful arrangement, it is possible to make the arrows appear in places other than in front of the caster. Next to Fireball, this is the most basic offensive spell.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Levitation</strong></span><br/>The most basic movement spell, possessing no chant. It simply relies on the user's will and allows that person to levitate up or down. Unlike Diem Wing, there is no flight involved and no invoking of willpower. So simple that other spells can be cast freely while using it.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Lighting</strong></span><br/>A simple utility spell, possessing no chant. It simply creates an orb of light which is about as bright as a street lamp. Normally the duration of this spell is 2~3 hours, but by shortening the duration the spell can be made brighter. A blinding flash of light, for example, can be made by decreasing the duration to a split-second.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Elmekia Lance</strong></span><br/><em>""Star which passes through heavens' night skies, heed the ancient coven and the Earth, I pledge my life that your power may be called forth! Elmekia Lance!""</em><br/>A spell which creates and fires a lance of light, which damages a target's soul, which exists on the Far Plane. Humans, Dragons, Angels, and Demons have souls. Monsters do not. Against the former it will cause no physical damage but inflict tremendous pain and wear the target's very consciousness away until all that's left is an empty husk. The larger the target, the more hits it will take. Against monsters this spell does nothing.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Explosion Array</strong></span><br/><em>""Oh spirits of Earth I summon you now, grant me your power, hear my vow. Heed to my bidding, do as I say, I command you oh spirits; Explosion Array!""</em><br/>Tilly just invented this! After drawing a circle on the ground, this spell can blast anything upwards within that circle, including dirt, rocks, or anyone inside. Since this spell's effects aren't lethal (though the resultant fall might be), it can be used to knock targets unconscious and capture them. In addition, the pillars of displaced dirt and rocks can be used to hide from or blind the target. There is a chance that nearby party members or hired help will also be blasted, but there's little chance they'll perish, so, in a way, there's no need to worry when casting this spell. You should really be thanking Tilly for going non-lethal here.<br/><br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Dragon Slayer</strong></span><br/><em>""Darkness from twilight, crimson from blood that flows; buried in the stream of time is where your power grows. I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand! Let the fools who stand before us shall be destroyed by the power you and I possess! Dragon Slayer!""</em><br/>Spell which calls on the power of Ruby-Eye Shabranigdu, also known as The Lord of Nightmares, a high-ranking demon. This is the strongest spell that humans can cast without a talisman of some kind; its effect is broad and destructive enough to level a city block. In ancient times it was used to kill dragons, hence the name. The incantation is long and uttering the words causes the sky to darken, power to swell from the earth, and the caster to glow red. Starting this spell is basically a 'HEY, KILL THE MAGE FAST' sign because it attracts a lot of attention and takes some time to fire off. Tilly does not have full control of this spell and her accuracy with it (despite the blast being enormous) is shaky at best. It is also extremely taxing for a mage of her level to cast and doing so one time would physically exhaust her for quite a while. This is Aphelion's favorite spell, totally."

You can use only one maneuver per attack. You learn one additional maneuver of your choice at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels. Each time you learn a new maneuver, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one. Superiority Dice. You have four superiority dice, which are d8s. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest. You gain another superiority die at 9th level and one more at 17th level. Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: Maneuver save DC = 14<br/><span class=""bbc_u"">List of chosen maneuvers: </span><br/>   <strong>Disarming Attack</strong>. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to disarm the target, forcing it to drop one item of your choice that it’s holding. You add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll, and the target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it drops the object you choose. The object lands at its feet.<br/>   <strong>Menacing Attack.</strong> When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to frighten the target. You add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw.

You can spend 1 hour gathering herbs and preparing herbal poultices using treated bandages to create a number of such poultices equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). You can carry a number of poultices at one time equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). The poultices you create cannot be applied by anyone but you. After 24 hours, any poultices that you have not used lose their potency. If you spend 1 minute applying one of your poultices to a wounded humanoid creature, thereby expending its use, that creature regains 1d6 hit points for every two ranger levels you have (rounded up).<br/><br/><strong>Ranger Archetype (Hunter)</strong><br/><br/><strong>Horde Breaker.</strong> Once on each of your turns when you make a weapon attack, you can make another attack with the same weapon against a different creature that is within 5 feet of the original target and within range of your weapon.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong><br/>Explorer’s pack<br/>Backpack: <br/>   Iron spikes (10), Chalk (4), candles (2), fishing tackle, grappling hook, manacles(2), sack (3), waterskin (ale) , 50ft silk rope<br/>Riding horse (saddle, saddlebags, bit and bridle.)  <br/> Breastplate (ac 14)<br/>Weapons:<br/>   +1 Silver Warhammer:   Att bonus: +7   Damage: 1d8+4/1d10+4<br/>   Battleaxe:      Att bonus: +6   Damage: 1d8+3/1d10+3<br/>   Crossbow,hand      Att bonus: +3   Damage: 1d8<br/>Cloak of the Manta Ray: Water breathing and swim speed of 60ft.<br/><br/>Coin: <br/>   Gold: 200    Silver: 192    Copper: 51</div></div><br/>Background:<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Halaster had your typical Ironborn upbringing. He was the son of a sailor, which meant he would be a sailor. From the time he was old enough to grip a haft he was trained in weapons. During the rare times he wasn't in training with weapons, seamanship or scrounging for whatever he could find, his mother taught him the wilds of their isle and the herbs of the land. When he turned 14 his father took him on his first raid. He was left to guard the landing boats but it was still a big day. Just a year later he was taken along with the warriors where he took his first life, making him a man. His father was a better sailor than a warrior and fell a year later. Halaster had earned his place on a ship under a bold captain, too bold. Just after his 20th birthday they set upon the mainland hoping to catch a caravan headed north. What they found instead was a heavily armed contingent. The ensuing battle was valiant but short. Halaster could see they didn't stand a chance and as he and a few others turned to escape to the boats they could hear the screams of their rear guard being chopped down by the armored cavalry. The handful of survivors scattered in all directions, Halaster never saw them again. Now marooned on the mainland he had to make his way as best he could. Ditching his house seals and blatant Ironborn gear, he assumed the roll of a mercenary. One day he will return home but until then he will learn all he can of the ways of the mainland and take what he can in return for what was lost.</div></div><br/>Weapons:<br/>Hammer<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://0.media.dorkly.cvcdn.com/28/26/b0a0b2ad90b53dc37dc3facebad9daa3.jpg)</div></div><br/>Battleaxe<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://preview.turbosquid.com/Preview/2014/05/19__20_45_39/Fantasy_Axe_0001.jpgec9081f3-8a3c-43c8-9db7-2d5c295a7630Original.jpg)</div></div>"

Born in Oldtown, the now warrior of righteousness had a humble beginning, born to middle class merchants in the city. Jacob was a little different from his more mercantile parents, lacking their acumen for business but keeping some of their influential personality, and making up for what he lacked in merchantry with strength. The blonde haired youth was quite a fighter, and getting into scraps and other conflicts wasn’t an uncommon thing for him – and it did earn him a few unfortunate punishments as he grew up. However such things tempered him, and he quickly learned ‘right’ from wrong, and in particular there was a budding sense that seeing others doing wrong to people who did not deserve it instilled something of a quiet anger in him. It was no surprise to his family when he opted out of taking his families career and instead opted to join the city watch, where he could have easily had a good life as an enforcer of the law. Even then however, there was something different about him that set him aside from the normal guards. For Jacob, trying to do good meant more than merely doing his job. There was a sense of wanting to do more, of trying to strive for more when other guards were content to simply limit the thieves, or curb them.<br/><br/>As such, despite the chance of promotion and comfort, he left the life of a watchmen to attempt the life of a sellsword. It was different from his old life, but there was a sense of comfort in guarding others, even if the pay wasn’t as good, or when conditions weren’t perfect. He had made something of a name for himself around the reach, known as a bandit slayer, a guardian of merchants, a protector of the meek. These titles didn’t pay as much as the guard did, but he made due how he could. One could tell his armor was a tad worn if sturdy, and his blade was not the most lavishly crafted, but the youth inside the armor held the blade with a dedicated hand, one that did not go unnoticed by other powers who could use such a dedicated defender...<br/>"

It's left her memories up to that point a jumble and she's unsure how much of her savagery was even real.<br/><br/>Her family was put down by a man who'd been paid to get revenge upon them shortly after and as she was the last and still only a child, he could not bear to kill her and instead took her South with him. She's grown up with memories of a cold and harsh north full of blood, death and horrors, a place which she does not wish to return to and yet cannot fully shake. She's grown up well, her looks are beautifully elfin but with an exotic touch to it that the learned will know is not of Westeros at all. She treats her stolen Children magic as a gift from the Old Gods and tries to use it to better the lives of others. The Old Gods don't demand much, but she feels like she has a price to pay for her power none the less. She might be right.<br/><br/>For now she works with the Changeling who rescued her from the north, unaware that he was the one who took the lives of her kin. She's more accustomed to the civilized world than most Wildlings, but she's never quite settled into it. The dreams of blood and the lingering taste of flesh keep her from ever settling down and she has no ties to noble houses or even a common family. Her magic is Wildling Magic and while most South have never seen it, those that have are not likely to treat her with kindness if they know where she comes from. She tries to stay out of politics, but that's so rarely an option in Kings Landing and the more people the resist, the worse fate the game eventually has in store for them..."

Since the GM insist on creating paranoia...<br/><br/>Marisa Starlight was born from a family of cloth artisans who owned their shop. She was unusually smart, and very kind, though very shy. Her parents have trained her to be able to handle finances. Ledgers, account books, she soaked it incredibly fast. She always wished she could learn magic, and her parents promised her that as soon as they would have saved enough to hire a tutor for her, they would do so. Despite them trying very hard, they could never earn enough for hiring a tutor. One day, she was at a festival, and an incident happened: a dog with rabies was chasing other children. She leaped to action, throwing small projectiles at the dog, hoping that the dog would go after her, and he did. Then, she ran toward an attraction that had a ladder that she could climb but the dog couldn't. She still got bitten before she could get high enough to be safe from the dog. A local elderly cleric arrived just after and cured the disease from the dog, instantly calming him. The cleric then asked her to stay the night at the church in case she was to get sick, and until he had the opportunity to prepare another disease curing spell. She didn't get sick. And for the next weeks, she has become a local hero and everybody was talking about her, but quickly forgot her as more famous heroes came and went in town. She found lost treaties on the basics of magic. When she found them, she talked to the guard about it and they said that if anyone came asking them for lost magical books, they would come see her. Nobody asked, and she could not help herself from reading them all. To this day,  she is still looking to give them back to their owner. Her parents have felt strange about the whole deal, and have watched to make sure she didn't got herself in danger, but true to what she has read, she mostly learned to heal and assist. When she felt confident enough to start her adventuring career (she has felt very good when the parents of the kids she saved came to the temple to thank her, and the kids thanked her too as the priest was ensuring she wouldn't get sick), she has joined a Pyotr Vasilis. Due to her role being mostly a boring, background one, she never got as famous as her companion, but seeing all the people beam with happiness after she has helped save children and adults, she swelled with pride. But at least she could keep some privacy. She has also been following a romantic saga about a girl's quest for true love and her misadventures, you'll probably catch her reading it at some point.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Abilities</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Str: 8<br/>Dex: 12<br/>Con: 14 <br/>Int: 18 + 2 racial + 1 level up. = 21.<br/>Wis: 14<br/>Cha: 8 (Vert Very shy)<br/><br/>Class: Witch (Hedge Witch archetype from Ultimate magic, basically trading some hexes for healing abilities)<br/><br/>Patron: Healing<br/><br/>HP: 6+9 (class) + 4 (Favored Class) + 3 (Toughness) + 8 (Constitution) = 30<br/><br/>AC: 12 (10 +DX)<br/><br/>Fort: 1 (class) +2 (CON) +2 (rat familiar)= 5<br/>Ref: 1 (class) +2 (DEX) = 3<br/>Will: 4 (class) +2 (WIS)= 6*<br/><br/>BAB: +2<br/><br/>CM: 10 + 2 - 1 = 11<br/>CMD:10 + 2 - 1 + 2 = 13<br/><br/>Initiative: +6 (DX +2, Feat +4)<br/><br/><br/>Traits:<br/>Precise treatment<br/>Pragmatic activator<br/>Self-taught scholar.<br/><br/>Drawback: Doubt<br/><br/>Skills:<br/><br/>Heal 4 ranks (13 total)<br/>Knowledge (Arcana) 4 ranks (12 total)<br/>Spellcraft 4 ranks (12 total)<br/>Profession (Merchant) 4 ranks (9 total)<br/>Knowledge (Planes) 4 ranks (12 total) (She's a bookworm)<br/>Knowledge (Nature) 4 ranks (12 total) (Bookworm)<br/>Use Magic Device 4 ranks (13 total)<br/>Linguistics 4 ranks (13 total).<br/><br/>Feats: Craft Wondrous Items, Toughness, Improved Initiative<br/><br/>Familiar: rat (I know they have bad reputation, but my mom had pet rats, they were cute and nice...

Not because it was unvisited. The temple actually saw a fair amount of foot traffic, especially for one of the Minor Fortunes. But the Monks who tended to the temple, dedicated to the Courtesan of Hantei VIII believed that silence was the one gift they could give to those who sought its confines. The building was immaculately decorated, statues, paintings and murals highlighting areas. It was a place where artists could seek inspiration from the greatest of their numbers, and where Geisha could be free from the need to always be listening. And, for the woman summoned by the Jade Magistrate's Seal, this temple, seated on a small Island on the road from Toshi no Meiyo Gisei to the City of the Golden Frog, the most important fact was that this was the place where they were to meet the person who had summoned them.<br/><br/>Each had received the letter, from a Miya Courtier. It directed them to reach this temple within 10 days, if they wished to server the Emperor. No further information, just the seal, and the unimpeachable carrier standing for the truth of the message. No money was attached, nor indications of how they were expected to. They were given permission to show the letter to their Daimyo, and to ask him should they go. No one else was to know that they had received the letters. The Daimyo would excuse their absence by indicating that they were on his orders, a truth, given that each of their Daimyo's had ordered them to follow the directives of the Jade Magistrate.<br/><br/>Any of the girls who had arrived early were offered a place to stay, like all travelers. The rooms were bare, little more then cots, and any questions about why they had been summoned were met with incomprehension, and a smile and a shy shrug from the Monks, though listened to with calm and a smile. The tenth day came and went... and each girl, at a time when they were alone, would be met by a black crow. It would place an envelope with their name on it before them, and then fly off. Inside were further directions. There was a small room, used by the monks for meetings. They were to be there at midnight, and to bring everything they would require for a long mission. Each letter was in the same handwriting, and stamped with the same seal as the earlier message.<br/><br/>When the girls arrived, they found four girls... oddly enough, each one with a similar build to one of the Samurai. And one older woman, looking at them. The girls were all seated on one side of the table, with the older woman at the head. There were four cups of tea opposite the girls, and one for the old woman, but oddly, none for the young women. Each one who arrived was directed to sit and instructed to not speak. Any attempt to defy this was met with a glare. The younger girls did not have the bearing of Samurai, but the old woman had it in spades. When the last one arrived, the older woman finally spoke. “Thank you girls, do as you were instructed.” The four young woman rose, each of the inclining their heads respectfully to the old woman. “Thank you, Oka-saan.” The four then walked out. When the door shut behind them, the woman reached into a bag at her side, and pulled out a mask... placing it on her face with a smile. The mask was easily recognizable if one had knowledge of the styles the Scorpion used.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">The Older Woman</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">(http://40.media.tumblr.com/10a847b8739469e9256777f33d12562e/tumblr_nesirkg6Qt1r3drn7o1_1280.jpg)</div></div><br/><br/>“Greetings.” The woman said. She reached into her bag again, and handed each of them another letter. “I am Soshi Kumori, the Jade Magistrate who summoned you here. The Jade Magistrate's require your aid in a matter of secrecy. You four have managed to follow the directions I gave adequately, and arrived without excessive notice. Nothing I say here is to leave this room.”<br/><br/>Her voice was self assured, completely calm as she spoke. She took a sip of the tea, and continued. “We know a user of Mahou lives in the City of the Rich Frog. We cannot find who it is. They are clever, and have hidden themselves from our normal means of detection. Furthermore, we have sent in a few of our best. The lucky ones did not come back. Those unlucky enough emerged. Acting on the Mahou Tsukai's orders, they perpetrated some obscenity, act of betrayal or sabotage. I had to kill one myself. Someone is providing this monster with information.”<br/><br/>The woman says this with equanimity, eyes dark behind the mask she wears. Each of the women can feel that she would kill them the same way, if it was forced. “Thus why you have been summoned. You will help me catch this thing, and put it down. You four will take the place of those girls who just left. I pose as the Okaasan for the Docks district of the city, and they had received permission from me to open a new Teahouse, Petals on the Water. They are new to the city and few, if any, have seen them well. You will be able to take their place easily. This disguise will be enough to hide you from the Mahou Tsukai. You may find it useful in other ways. You will locate the Mahou Tsukai, and you will kill him. Now, you may speak.” The woman paused, giving a faint smile. “I assume you have questions.”"

She read through the same two pillow books three times each, and took numerous restless walks through the grounds. The lion was not a subtle person, with her long blonde hair with the blood red streak traveling from her temple to the end of her hair which hung just below her backside. If she had known, that in a few short days her distinctive hair would be dyed black to allow her to blend in as a Geisha she would have been perturbed… but that was not yet her concern. She would remain civil during the three days, even if she was bored to tears. When delivered her letter from the Raven it would almost be a sigh of relief as she’d prepare herself from the meeting.<br/><br/>She sat in relative silence as the ‘Okaa-san’ spoke. Watching her body double out of the corner of her eye with some curiosity and a measure of suspicion. Her hands folded on the table with her fan laid underneath the junction of the table as she’d lean forward just slightly.<br/>“If we are to be Geisha, that is one thing. Who will they be while we are them?” She’d ask as she’d tuck her red lock of hair behind her ear and look the scorpion in the eye. She would also look around the table, to each of the other three women and their departing body doubles.<br/><br/>“And is this not dishonorable? I understand this is in pursuit of Maho Tsukai, a threat that must be eliminated from Rokugan yes and there is no doubt in my mind this is a plan that could succeed… but you are asking us to perform things that our Emperor would look down upon. We will still be Samurai no matter how we are dressed and presented.” She’d say, with a tilt of her head as she’d lean in slightly and gingerly pick up her fan and twirl it between her fingers.<br/><br/>“Those are my concerns, I am not denying this mission. I do however have reservations. Honor is the lifeblood of my clan” She spoke carefully with a very slight smile on her face as she’d steeple her fingers once again.<br/>"

They were inked perfectly, bearing the words ""______"" (The girls name) ""acts in the interest of the empire, and pursues a higher purpose. For as long as she follows the directives of Soshi Kumori, there is no dishonorable act, for her heart is pure, and in the interest of the empire."" Each bore the chrysanthemum seal... meaning that this had been placed in front of the emperor himself, and he had imprinted his mark upon it. Kumori let the girls read it.<br/><br/>""Now, Ikoma-san, that answers your second question. As Akodo said, duty is the soul of the Samurai. Before all else, neglecting her duty scars her soul. I act here with the direct knowledge of the Emperor. As for your other, the girls will be riding to Shiranai Toshi. Each of them will ride a horse, and wear a deep cloak, like they have something to hide, while being accompanied by an agent whose identity I believe is compromised, but I do not believe it is known that I know it is compromised. When they reach Shiranai Toshi, they will board a river boat, and ride to Kyuden Doji. From there, a ship awaits them, to take them to Koutetsukan. There, I have arranged for them to be employed as Geisha. They should be quite successful.""<br/><br/>Kumori tapped her lip easily, as if thinking... then continued.<br/><br/>""At no point will they claim they are you. They are Geisha. To have them act as your doubles explicitly would be discovered to easily. However, anyone attempting to follow them will find it very difficult. It is a precaution. Unless someone has been watching you with ill intent, there is no reason why they would believe they are you.""<br/><br/>Kumori then turned on the Hare, looking at her with a quirk of a smile.<br/><br/>""And Ujina-San, neither was I. We serve the emperor as we must, in all fashions. As stated, I do not know which of the Emperor's hidden servants, if any, have escaped this Mahou Tsukai's notice. If you are asking why I have not asked for a group of entirely Scorpions, since we are well known for being 'suited to deception...'"" Kumori's eyes flashed a little at that. ""... it is quite simple. I already have. I found them three days before your letters were mailed. Only one was alive, his mind gone, his form misshapen. I found him violating the corpse of one of the other women, a promising Scorpion Shugenja who I'd known since she was a babe.

And I gathered you because I believe you have the skills and talents to find this monster and kill him.""<br/><br/>Her eyes flashed... and then that intensity was gone, replaced by the wry amusement she had shown throughout.<br/><br/>""And yes, you girls being diverse, young, beautiful, and new will draw interest. Men grow tired of many things, including Geisha at times. New is exciting. This Mahou Tsukai must have underlings, people to carry out his bidding. Such a man will have sold his soul for wealth. At least one of the men will try to dull the pain with beautiful women who wish simply to talk and entertain him. You must ensure that he comes to you, and that he bears as much of his soul as he can to you. He will not admit that he is the servant of a Mahou Tsukai, but you have not been chosen because you are dullards or fools. I trust that you will be able to see the meaning behind his words.""<br/><br/>Kumori nodded.<br/><br/>""I have arranged for identities for each of you. If someone goes to speak to the villages you are intended to be from, they will find attestations to your birth, your growing up, and how you became a Geisha. I have prepared clothing for your new roles in life, which should fit you well, if differently then you are used to.

Taught by her uncle to survive outside the comfort of polite society and to take shelter in abandoned buildings or worse, the young and pragmatic Kuni had the tale-tell oddness to one of her bloodline. The Kuni were already given a wide berth for being charged with studying the Shadowlands and the effects of the taint upon the average Rokugani. That in and of itself set them slightly apart from others and things that were not understood were strange and treated as such. That being said, Takoko was a little strange even for a Kuni.<br/><br/>When she arrived at the temple she fell in line rather quickly, knowing much of the way of monks even if she herself was still considered a samurai. She said all the right prayers, knew the right mantra's and offerings. The Spartan squalor of the rooms wouldn't be unappreciated at all from a life lived on the road hunting witches and monsters and from behind long strands of dark hair that hung shyly in front of her face she even smiled most of the time she was waiting. That minimum of decorum however grew thinner the longer she waited for this meeting she'd been called to and barely convinced her uncle to allow her to attend. She did her best not to bother anyone, contemplating nature and meditating along the temple grounds as the days passed. Her personal commune with nature however could start rumors of Yokai stalking the grounds as 'becoming one with earth' involved skulking in a nearby pond like a mud covered hag or screaming at a thunderstorm from the top of a torii gate for the air kami's attention. When the raven came to find her she was sitting at a small fire next to a large clay vase filled with liquid and playing her Shamisen which she'd sat in her lap and plucked at with each snap and crackle of the fire rather than any practiced tune.<br/><br/>Takoko didn't talk much. She'd seen her old friend and sister-in-law arrive three days ago and while she was content to follow her around silently and wide eyed not unlike a ghost, Hatsu never did seem to notice her. Cleaning herself up before the meeting she'd scuttle off with the large clay pot strapped to her back, muttering something to herself about hugging.<br/><br/>The girl's kimono was rough and well worn, more practical than anything meant to be admired for it's appearance. The same could be said of the girl herself. While she had no visible scars upon her face or anywhere else that was exposed she had a certain stare in her eyes that many who had walked the carpenter wall had developed. The kind of expression that even when you were looking right at a person it appeared to drift off a thousand yards through them. Her face was white with streaks of red from make-up that she applied once every morning which would be all the more ghoulish if it wasn't for the small jade pendant she wore around her neck which slipped just below the innermost fold of her Kimono patterned in small sea creatures, the crabs of which all had their claws crossed.<br/><br/>She sat when directed and listened to the older Jade magistrate word for word, an inner excitement making her pull the clay pot from her back to her front. Settled on her knees she slipped her arms around the pot and remained embracing it like one would cradle a small child, its lid still firmly sitting on top of it. Hatsu got a pinky-finger waved at her in what she hoped was a subtle enough gesture and as the questions went back and fourth she absorbed what she could, looking back and fourth at the rest of those gathered in the room with a little too intense of a stare."

While the vast majority of Kimono's worn by Samurai were silk, this was slightly different. Silk was used here for appearance, not for its ability to stop arrows. It was thin, to provide no protection in battle, and likely even rip or tear if a woman were to move to quickly in it. It would hug her curves, concealing all yet revealing everything. It was the Kimono of a geisha in other words, a woman who dwelt right on the edge of sex, but not quite there. Mizuki's was patterned brilliant, with a serene blue sky above, and massive mountains, representations of those that lay to the north of Phoenix Lands, clawing toward the sky... an examination all that was needed to tell that the placement of the mountains would dry the eye toward her breasts. Below the mountain, it became green crop land. Compared to the muted tones and simple designs tended toward, even among the Crane, it was a shock. Geisha were known for their bright, multicolored kimonos, with intricate designs, but even so, this was lovely.<br/><br/>""You are Ari. You come from the former lands of the Badger Clan.

She'd heard plenty of stories about geisha house clients having a taste for inexperienced girls enough to know that not being expected to do as much did not necessarily mean she would not be called to do so. It took her a few tries to don the much nicer kimono than she had been previously wearing and get it to fit right, an eyebrow twitching in frustration until it sat right upon her body.

The sign was a picture of a Single flower petal surrounded by concentric circles, the ripples as it touched the water. The building itself was exquisite, a Rectangle with a large interior courtyard bisected in two by a the sitting room. The outer courtyard was a flower garden meant for walking in. The inner one was consumed by the pond, and the cherry trees surrounding it likely gave the Tea House its name. The side rooms were clearly for entertaining, capable of being thrown open to drink the beauty of the courtyards, or closed to ensure privacy. The Center building was clearly intended for greeting guests, easily the most formal part of the place. Only the rear building was intended to be private, and inside, the girls likely found it shockingly drab compared to the lovely exterior and the rest of the furnishings. After all, no client was intended to be back here.<br/><br/>'Okaasan' had informed them that their formal opening was tonight, and that some fairly well to do men and women from the docks would come by to congratulate them. However, there was a larger problem facing them... a group of surly looking workmen. While not traditionally armed, more then a few carried wood working tools or lengths of wood that would have been fairly intimidating for Geisha's who weren't trained Samurai.

Lucas Reinert. Ran Fletcher, old Moran's girl. Miranda, Caro, Rinarya. Her eyes followed each name to the face it belonged to. ""Melford,"" she corrected mildly. ""Millford is a river crossing. The town where we'll be going is Melford, a forest trade town."" One strong man beside Brannock she counted, and the rest seemed to be ladies with a more feminine quality than normally roughed it in these woods. By far one was more skittish than the rest. Dza's armor chimed as she knelt down to the halfling's level to ascertain whether her stuttering and averted gaze were only frayed nerves or something else. ""Here's a mnemonic I find helpful. Millford has a mill, while Melford is in the woods with the elves."" Her most reassuring smile for Caro, loaded with the message if you don't feel safe, you can come to me. Now it was decided: she was definitely going to escort this unusual group.<br/><br/>Inspiration for you!"

A single dirt road leads away from both the north and the south. Visitors are infrequent yet welcomed for the coin they spend. The population seems to be less than 200 souls many of which are Human. Farms and a mill provide most local resources, but metals must be brought in from larger towns. There are a few shops but most seem to cater to a few different markets. The Noble of the land never visits, but his duly appointed knight shows up faithfully each month to collect taxes.<br/><br/>There are two guards stationed for protection and a squire ready to ride swiftly away for help should the need arise. Most farms are just outside the town proper and it has been quite some time since any real trouble has found Fairview.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Amida</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Situated south of the Rushing Ocean and west of the Cliffs of Insaniam, Amida is a heavily Dwarven town in northern Shula. As with most Dwarven populations the most common activity is drinking. There are enough Taverns within Amida to serve a city three times it size and most are full each night. <br/><br/>Although not a Port town, one can still access smaller boats and travel near the coast east to Cularo or west to ShoreSide. There are some farms that provide local produce but the two main industries are Forestry and Mining. Lumber and Metals are exported, sold or traded for foodstuffs and textiles. Of the two chief professions, Mining is by far the more dangerous especially considering that it happens withing the  Cliffs of Insaniam.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Cliffs of Insaniam</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> At the very north of Shula on it's eastern side lies a cliff range about 250 miles long known as the Cliffs of Insaniam. They are the main source for ores of all kinds throughout the lands and less than a third of it has been touched. But besides this abundant resource, the Cliffs also hold dark secrets. The terrain itself is harsh, steep and treacherous. But the worst may be unseeen. <br/><br/>Stories and legends about about travelers found wandering near the cliffs. While some are injured by inhuman wounds that heal slowly if at all, most all have gone insane. Every year they are found by hunters and foresters in the area and some have wandered into Amida to the west or Cularo to the East. No one has any ideas what has driven them mad, but it is only the foolish that venture to the Cliffs alone. </div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Cularo</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> The Megalopolis known as Cularo is the last known Bastion of the Drow race. Set at the far northeast point of Shula, it has likely sustained itself only because of its port. No other cities are close giving the Dark Elves the secrecy they desire. <br/><br/>Little is known about the huge city – unless you are a Drow and they tend to not say much to outsiders.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Abandoned Tower</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> About three days ride to the south from Fairview will take someone to the Abandoned Tower. Its strange name given because that is almost all that is known about it. For centuries it has stood there unclaimed and while there are as many rumors about it as there are stars, the truth may have been lost to time.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Ruthin</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> The Elven city of Ruthin is home to more than a thousand of that Race. It sets just to the west of the largest forest within Shula thus making it perfect for those who love the woods. Diversity makes it a thriving city with farming, forestry, hunting and trade. <br/><br/>Known for their peacefulness, Ruthin has not seen any struggles in many, many years.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Shark Bay</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> While situated close to the the Great Sea in western Shula, Shark Bay is not a port, nor does it need to be. The cast majority of its residents are aquatic or amphibious. Home to races such as Merfolk, Nagaji and Undines, Shark Bay's somewhat isolated location seems perfect. <br/><br/>It is many days from any other city or town so those not of the water perhaps find it attractive as well, especially those who do not wish to be found. </div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Shoreside</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Perhaps the largest and busiest city in the land, Shoreside is the primary import-export port of Shula. Its central northern location near the Kings Keep offers protected by land while the Great Sea Gulf also offers safety. Not just resources but people use the location to enter and exit the continent at all times of the year.<br/><br/>There are well traveled trade routs from and to Shoreside to the south, east and north. It's growth and safety has not been hidden and its population increases every year.  A good regiment of the Kings forces remain in Shoreside year round for protection and law. Of course with prosperity comes greed and Shoreside has both a high tax rate and a good share of bandits and rapscallions.<br/><br/>It is believed that Pirates use the port as well, but the King has not seen fit to be troubled by the rumor. All in all Shoreside is the best place to go withing the land if you need to find something – or someone. It is said that many types of magicks can be had there as well, all for a price. </div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Traveler's Rest</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Little more than a few buildings taking up land, the Travelers Rest is unique. What began as a small way station has become the largest non-city in the realm. The main feature of Traveler's Rest is the Inn and Tavern of the same name. It is a monstrous wood frame building that seems to get larger each year.  Rooms are added on and at last count it was believed to have more than 50! Only a few other structures form the area as the Inn and it's treacherous owner charges his own fee for setting up shop nearby.<br/><br/>Thus everything is overpriced, but if you are headed east or west, Traveler's rest is one of few safe places to stop. They manufacturer nothing themselves but gold coin from travelers and have their own form of justice purchased by the highest bidder. As long as they continue to pay Tax, the King foresees no reason to intervene. </div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Bridgekeep</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> The Elven town of Bridgekeep got its name from its proximity to the Dark Bridge which passes over the Cobalt river. Even with such an official sounding name the Population has no official control of the bridge, nor is there a toll. </div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> King Luthana's Keep</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> The heart of Shula is the King's Keep. It is a grand citadel centrally located. While not an actual city, many people live within its shadow for the safety the King's guard offers.  </div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Silver Cove</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> To the far east of the land is Silver Cove, a Dwarven port city. It boasts over 1,000 souls and has a hugely diverse structure with farming, fishing and most any other industry imagined. Two specific crafts call Silver Cove home; brewing and metalsmithing. It is also a large ship building port as well. If you are drinking a mead from a tankard in Shula it likely came from Silver Cove.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> The Colossal Oak</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> At the far west shore of Shula lives an enormous Oak tree called the Colossal. It is said to be as large as some towns, perhaps more so. No one recalls when or why it came to be, but it is revered by the Druids of Shula and other locations as well.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Forde</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> On the western half of the continent the Megalopolis of Forde is a racially diverse city. </div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Greymoss</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Mixed Race city.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Migron</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Human Town.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Lapis Noir</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> On the far east side of Shula to the north of Neuffond is the strange obelisk known as Lapis Noir – The Black Stone. It is a smooth, solid black stone that rises up about 40' in the air and is about 20' per side square. The pillar has no markings or cracks and no one has any idea where it is from.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Old Port</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Dwarven Megalopolis Port.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Agra</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Human Hamlet.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> WhiteOak</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Mixed city known for its spectacular white trees.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Shiloe</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Human Megalopolis.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Greenport</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Directly south of the Living Basin is the racially mixed Megalopolis Port of Greenport.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Neuffond</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> Mixed City.</div></div></div></div>"

Maya herself had no apparent superpowers when she grew up, so no one expected her to do much. Then things got interesting.<br/><br/>Maya never had a plan. She saw a Kung Fu master take out a group of street toughs when she was 8, and wouldn't leave him alone until he taught her everything he knew. (Reginald was always a great teacher!) Afterwards, she started traveling, trying to find whatever she could. Jiu-jitsu, Judo, Boxing, Catch-wrestling, Krav Maga, Taekwando, the better question is what martial arts did Maya forget, than which ones did she learn. As she went along, she ended up getting in a lot of ridiculous fights, including against famed super villains such as ""The Midnight Rider"", ""The Ringmaster"", and the legendary master of the death touch: ""The Pharoah of Fisticuffs.""<br/><br/>How did Maya continually punch out these ridiculously potent villains? In the process of training, she discovered the mystical arts of ki manipulation, which allows her to perform superhuman feats to match her seemingly impossible martial arts prowess. It may look like she's lifting a building through strength alone, but secretly, it was only possible through the manipulations of her ancient techniques.<br/><br/>She has operated as a professional wrestler, an MMA fighter, an occasional stuntwoman, and because Supervillains tend to cause trouble around high profile targets where she's been doing another job, a superheroine. <br/><br/>Maya is quirky, and not particularly good at dealing with people: she's famous because she's hilariously awkward when she's not utterly destroying people, and they enjoy watching her stumble through in the process of beating the crap out of people and then having to deal with the real world crap afterwards in her unique fashion that seems to ignore social niceties. Oh, and the fact that she keeps beating down super villains is also a factor. She generally wears the same gear she wrestled in when she has to be a superhero, ""because everyone else does it in a ridiculous outfit... it's tradition!""</div></div><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Maya Skylar Stats</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>Maya Skylar</strong></span> - PL 10<br/><div class=""floatright"">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/65/Maya_Skylar.jpeg)</div>Strength 4, Stamina 3, Agility 6, Dexterity 3, Fighting 10, Intellect 3, Awareness 1, Presence 0<br/><br/><strong>Advantages</strong><br/>All-out Attack, Assessment, Attractive, Daze (Intimidation), Defensive Roll 7, Diehard, Equipment 1, Evasion 2, Fast Grab, Fearless, Great Endurance, Improved Defense, Improved Disarm, Improved Grab, Improved Hold, Improved Initiative, Improved Trip, Instant Up, Move-by Action, Power Attack, Prone Fighting, Skill Mastery: Acrobatics, Takedown 2, Uncanny Dodge<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/>Acrobatics 10 (+16), Athletics 10 (+14), Expertise: Martial Arts History 7 (+10), Insight 9 (+10), Intimidation 10 (+10), Perception 10 (+11)<br/><br/><strong>Powers</strong><br/><strong>Perfect Battle Visualization: Senses 3</strong> (chi, magical, martial, Darkvision, Radius: Vision)<br/><strong>Sky Striding: Leaping 4</strong> (air, chi, martial, Leap 120 feet at 30 miles/hour; Check Required 3: DC 12 - Athletics)<br/><strong>Taking You Seriously Techniques: Strength-based Damage 4</strong> (chi, martial, soul, DC 23; Multiattack)<br/>. . <strong>Rope-A-Dope Counter-Punching: Strength-based Damage 2</strong> (Alternate; [2 active, 8/8 PP, 4/r], chi, martial, soul, DC 21; Reaction 3: reaction - Whenever an enemy attacks her in melee when she uses the defense action)<br/><strong>Tornado Dance: Speed 4</strong> (air, chi, martial, Speed: 30 miles/hour, 500 feet/round; Check Required 3: DC 12 - Athletics)<br/><div class=""floatright"">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/03/Maya_Skylar2.png)</div><strong>Equipment</strong><br/>Cell Phone (Smartphone), Commlink, Video Camera<br/><br/><strong>Offense</strong><br/>Initiative +10<br/>Grab, +10 (DC Spec 14)<br/>Rope-A-Dope Counter-Punching: Strength-based Damage 2, +10 (DC 21) (Reaction: only usable when she uses the Defend action and an opponent attacks her in melee)<br/>Taking You Seriously Techniques: Strength-based Damage 4, +10 (DC 23)<br/>Throw, +3 (DC 19)<br/>Unarmed, +10 (DC 19)<br/><br/><strong>Complications</strong><br/>Fame: Maya is not particularly charismatic, but there's something compelling about her.

To say that it affects her time as a Superhero puts it mildly.<br/>Obsession: Is Maya considered the best fighter on earth? If not, there are going to be problems. She will walk into any challenge if it gives her the opportunity to prove that she is the best at what she does. <br/>Secret: Maya never had the opportunity to create secret identity. She in fact, operates as ""Maya Skylar"". Considering the rest of her immediate family are superheroes with secret identities -  ""Skylord"" (her father), Samurai Soulsword (her mother), the Windwalker (her sister), and The Inquisitor (her brother), she has to work extra hard to keep their identities from being outed through her actions as she saves the world.<br/>Temper: There are a ridiculous number of things that make Maya angry.

Alexander is irked by this fact, partly because he wishes that he knew his biological mother and father, and partly because it is an annoyingly stereotypical origin. What is certain, though, is that their father was some sort of human magician while their mother was Some sort of supernatural. What became of either of them was to remain a mystery for some time.<br/><br/>The twins were soon adopted by the Alistair family, an older childless couple who took a shine to the albino infants. They were raised in comparative wealth and comfort, doing well in school, going to church, and living quiet idyllic lives.<br/><br/>Gradually their magical powers began to awaken, though, causing some havoc around the town that no one could explain. The twins were thought to be cursed, and were ostracized for awhile a mysterious robed woman showed up on the Alistair's doorstep. Calling herself the Watcher in the Twilight, she took the twin's under her wings, teaching them magic. Abigail proved an able student until she was a little over sixteen, when she decided to  pursue nature magic over the more academic variety, and left the tower to go hang out in the woods communing with nature. Now Alexander is alone the Watcher's Apprentice, and at eighteen lives in her tower with her, learning magic and occasionally hunting monsters.<br/><br/>A few years ago, after a strange magical accident the nature of which is a secret, Alexander was 'cursed(?)' to be able to transform into a female version of himself creatively named Alexandra. He finds this awkward, though is not above using it to his advantage. When he turns female he becomes an exact clone of his sister.<br/><br/><strong>General Powers/Abilities/Skillset:</strong> Alexander is a mage who uses a sword. He is low-powered at the moment, but the benefit of being a magician is that you have a massive group of eclectic powers. Like his sister, he is almost certainly a natural user of tantric magic, and having a lot of sex would likely make his magic more powerful. This is only in theory, though. He is a very good arcane researcher, and has a faithful pixie familiar to help him.<br/><br/>When he shifts into his female alter-ego, the nature of his magic changes. He becomes stronger, faster, and tougher, but loses a good number of his spells. The reason for this is embarrassing.<br/><br/><strong>Character Ons/Offs: </strong>Alexander seems uninterested in sex at first, and starts out a virgin. Physically. Mentally not so much, due to Lilith's occasional invasion of his dreams. In theory he is straight, although Shayla and Lilith have both complained that he shows more sexual interest in old books than women. When he is, instead, a woman, her attitudes remain largely the same, although she seems bi rather than straight, since mentally he is still attracted to women, but physically she is attracted to men. And women.<br/><br/><strong>Player Ons/Offs:</strong> Link (https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=45971).<br/><br/><strong>Preferred Territory: </strong> New England, for the most part, although he has been known to adventure elsewhere.<br/><br/><strong>What Kind Of Story Is The Character the Protagonist of?</strong> A somewhat Gothic coming-of-age story with strong underlying horror (cosmic and religious) themes focusing on powerful monsters defeated through clever magic and tricks rather than brute force, interspersed with lighter episodes that are more comedic. Sometimes the dark horror and comedy mix to make for some rather surreal scenes. So far all his adventures have ended happily, either through his own intelligence or the Watcher/Hospitaller coming in at the last moment to save him (often from Lilith).</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">‘Alexander’s’ Mechanics</div><div class=""spoiler_body""> <div class=""floatright"">(http://orig08.deviantart.net/944b/f/2015/153/f/f/robin_by_anokazue-d8vseo0.jpg) </div> <strong>Alexander Aloysius Alistair</strong><br/>PL-10<br/><br/><strong>Description</strong><br/>The original flavor.

Considered one of the world’s greatest Archmages, she protects Earth from cosmic evils of terrifying power, and is often busy off in some other dimension. Despite her tendency towards very revealing outfits, she is usually quite serious. She is mostly straight (or claims to be at least, reality does not bear this out), more dominant than not, and is a voyeur/exhibitionist. This is partly tempered by her Celtic Christian faith, although she does have a tendency to claim that human sexual mores do not apply to her when it is convenient.<br/><br/>The truth is that she was none other than the famous Cambion wizard Merlin’s apprentice/daughter, Nimue. Although later legends muddled the details every which way, often folding her and her mother Vivien and aunt Nyneve (the two ladies of the Lake, fae nymphs) into the same character, she is not her mother and was not responsible for her father's mythic fate. Her ancestry makes her ¼ human, ¼ succubus, ½ nymph, which explains the terrifying natural talent for magic she has, refined over a thousand and half years into possibly the planets most single powerful magician. It also explains her utter lack of modesty and carefully controlled sex-obsession. Her actual origin is a carefully kept secret: as far as those few people who know about her at all are concerned she is the ancient, nameless Watcher in the Twilight, a stern (if scantily clad) guardian of Earth against magical threats.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities</strong><br/><br/>Strength 2, Stamina 4, Agility 6, Dexterity 8, Fighting 6, Intellect 12, Awareness 12, Presence

She likes convincing people to give into their darkest sexual desires, with incest, adultery, and breaking vows of chastity being her favorite things. Lilith only rarely kills except in self defense, and prefers seduction, persuasion, trickery,or magical compulsion to lethal violence (she revels in nonlethal violence though). She herself is an extreme omnisexual who will have sex with anything that moves. And some things that do not. While her body is always feminine, Lilith is capable of growing a cock in order to 'make things more interesting', although she only rarely does this even when she is having sex with women. Despite her love of corrupting people, the succubus also seems to yearn for someone who can resist her. Lately she has developed an obsession with Alexander/Alexandra, which the Watcher has done nothing to dissuade since her obsession has prevented her from causing her usual trouble.

Like Merlin before her, Elzabeth is a Cambion, the daughter of a human man and a succubus. She is mostly just callous to others, and is an antagonist because she bears Alexander personal resentment for having replaced her. She is rather honorable despite her moral failings and antagonism, far more likely to fight other villains than team up with them, and spends a good bit of time fighting evil on her own. As the daughter of a succubus (Lilith’s cousin, actually) Elizabeth has a potent libido and, while she prefers males, also is fond of females. Like most daughters of succubi, she is a voyeur, completely lacks any modesty, and prefers to wear as clothing as provocative as she can get away with. She will sometimes molest/ have sex with outwardly unwilling men and women, but only if she knows through her emotion-reading magic that they secretly like it. Since they like it, all that protesting does not make it rape, right?<br/><br/><strong>Abilities</strong><br/>Strength 2, Stamina 2, Agility 2, Dexterity 2, Fighting 4, Intellect 8, Awareness 4, Presence 8<br/><br/><strong>Advantages</strong><br/>Artificer, Assessment, Attractive 2, Benefit (Ambidexterity), Eidetic Memory, Jack of All Trades, Ritualist, Skill Mastery (Expertise: Magic), Ultimate Effort (Expertise: Magic)<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/>Deception 8 (+16), Expertise (Magic) 12 (+20), Insight 4 (+8), Investigation 4 (+12), Perception 10 (+14), Persuasion 4 (+12), Ranged Combat (Magic) 8 (+10)<br/><br/><strong>Powers</strong><br/><br/><strong>Cambion Ancestry: Array (57 points) </strong><br/>• <strong>Polygot:</strong> Comprehend Languages 5 (Speak all languages, Read all languages, Understand all languages, Communicate with Spirits) – 10 points<br/>• <strong>Eyes of the Abyss:</strong>  Senses 10 (Magical Awareness, Analytical Sight, Dark Vision, See through Illusions, Extended Vision x2, Microscopic Vision, Counters Concealment (Invisibility), Time Sense, Direction Sense) – 10 points<br/>• <strong>Intangible Wings:</strong> Flight 2 (Continuous)  – 6 points<br/>• <strong>Regeneration:</strong> Regeneration 5 – 5 points<br/>• <strong>Awareness of the Subconscious:</strong> Mind Reading 5 (Effortless, Subtle 2, Limited to Emotions) – 12 points<br/>• <strong>Rapidity:</strong> Quickness 4 – 4 points<br/>• <strong>Tough Body:</strong> Protection 5 – 5 points<br/>• <strong>Daemonic Resistances:</strong> Immunity 5 (Age, Cold, Disease, Heat, Poison) – 5 points<br/><br/><strong>Memorized Arcana: Array (46 points) </strong><br/>• <strong>Arcanist’s Blast:</strong> Magic 10 (Multiattack) – 30 points<br/>• <strong>Charm:</strong> Affliction 15 (DC 25 vs Will.

Being human with everything that comes with that, his pride swelling up in his chest (or swelling... somewhere else) he said to himself, ""someday, I'm going to hit that."" <br/><br/>Someday, after chocolates the size of a barn, flowers made of fireproof crystal, and a brief window through time to import some Barry White, he did.<br/><br/>His name has been forgotten to history, but we must never forget the timeless tale of a man and his ambition to fuck something that no one else thought could (or should) possibly be fucked.<br/><br/>This story isn't about him, though, it's about a young woman named Joan Morgan, an ordinary high school student who suddenly lit on fire. The uncontrolled release of dragon-fire left her eyes burned out, her house a charred husk and a very immanent set of torches and pitchforks about to come out. Her parents, not knowing where else to go, took her to their church. This was both the best and the worst thing to do, as to avoid a mob, she was taken to a secret Order and discovered that she had the blood of a dragon. (Technically lots of people did, but very rarely did it manifest into superpowers, especially not ones these intense and hard-to-control.) Luckily (or unluckily, depending on how you see it), there was work for her to do.<br/><br/>The revelation of demons as full, physical actors in the world of men sent many religions into what could be best described as ""stark theological terror."" The Order of the Weeping Rose was part of an effort to harness superhumans to fight them, on the notion that if demons were physical beings they could be fought and killed, and if that was so then the Church's duty to fight the demons that lurk within man was both a lot more straightforward and a lot more literal. Early efforts were... rough, to say the least. Calanthe's training was intense, training mind and body into weapons that would kill that which could not be killed, honing her senses to a razor edge.<br/><br/>Inducted as a full member, she took vows of obedience and poverty. Her third vow under the order wasn't one of chastity - she carried the blood of a terrible monster in her veins, and its manifestation would taint any offspring, so she swore to never bear a child to carry on its legacy. (The Abbess was much more practical than many of her fellows, given what she had to work with, and considered this vow ""much more likely to actually work."") It has been her duty and privilege to protect humanity from that which would prey upon it from across the veil. She has slain invaders, redeemed cultists and helps run a soup kitchen in her spare time.  She strives to comport with dignity, duty and honor, and sometimes even succeeds. Also, she is the Order's go-to for destroying occult materials, for that which would drive a man mad to look upon has no power over her. (For <em>some</em> reason, tomes of unspeakable horror and madness never come in braille!) For this she has risen to the rank of Third Exorcist of the Order of the Weeping Rose.<br/><br/><strong>General Powers/Abilities:</strong> Though blind, Calanthe can 'feel' corporeal beings by sensing the minute shifts in air currents that they give off when moving or breathing. Her draconic heritage gives her limited magical abilities, most notably the ability to set herself on fire, leap tall buildings in a single bound, and inspire supernatural terror. Her demon-hunter training lets her sense possession and incorporeal beings, and nullify, exorcise, and create wards against evil powers. For everything else, there's <del>Mastercard</del> a sword.<br/><strong>Character Ons/Offs:</strong> For now, Calanthe is fairly vanilla in her tastes, but the key is <em>quantity</em>. Draconic power in a human comes with pretty intense appetites, so she needs to blow off a <em>lot</em> of steam.  For obvious reasons, impreg is a huge off.<br/><strong>Player Ons/Offs:</strong> Mine. (https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=56325)<br/><strong>Preferred Territory:</strong> Calanthe speaks a number of languages, and as an exorcist for a world-spanning organization she has the means to travel easily to (almost) anywhere in the world. For some reason her jobs keep taking her to Sunnydale and Cleveland, though...<br/><strong>Allies: </strong><br/><em>1 - Bess Seyer, ""Alighieri,"" Second Exorcist of the Order of the Weeping Rose.</em> More powerful than her junior sister, Bess is also more volatile as she possesses the blood of a demon. A glory-hound of a superheroine with little restraint (except for her vow, which she takes pretty seriously), she's not above showing up to show up someone who isn't hero-ing flashily enough. With a maximum of quippage, absurd toughness and a ridiculous arsenal of weapons that only seems to expand with every mission, she promises to be a nuisance for years to come.<br/><br/><em>2 - Abbess Hortensia of the Order of the Weeping Rose.</em> Calanthe's boss, a formidable woman torn between the twin roles of playing dispatcher to a group of superhuman demon-hunters, and orphan-mistress to a veritable army of supernatural-blooded children. Some days she wishes she didn't give up drinking. Actually that's most days.<br/><br/><em>3 - The Undertaker.</em> An absurd lanky little man who takes people's measurements when they're going to die soon (need to get them a proper size coffin), he's nonetheless been invaluable to the Order's work on many occasions as an early-warning system. Mainly because he shows up whenever bad things are about to happen. He never seems to actually be responsible (that they can tell, anyway), and he's a boundless font of information about people who have died recently.<br/><br/><strong>Enemies:</strong><br/><em>1 - Slubgob.</em> Professor of an infernal academy in the 2nd circle, Slubgob has declared vendetta against Calanthe because the wretched demon-hunter keeps destroying his books! Really, as though them being stitched in human skin and containing spells to tear the borders between worlds asunder justified her regressive, draconian, anti-intellectual attitudes! It's enough to make a demon sick!<br/><br/><em>2 - Countess Martuska Piroska.</em> A vampiress who seems to think a manifested dragon's blood would be the most decadent meal a vampire could enjoy in this wretched excuse for a modern world. Not that she'd drain anybody dry, that would be such a terrible waste! So much better to keep exotic pets in her lair, enslaved to her will, that she can indulge her hungers upon whenever she likes.<br/><br/><em>3 - Paratha, Lady of Fire.</em> Red dragon and Calanthe's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, who drops in every now and then to pointedly inquire whether or not she's going to ever see any great-great-great-great-great-great-great-<em>great</em>-grandchildren. A very, <em>very</em> awkward dinner guest.<br/><br/><strong>What Kind Of Story Is The Character the Protagonist of?</strong> Calanthe's story is about fighting and staying strong against supernatural evil - about things that go bump in the night, about things that shouldn't be here, and about things sufficiently divorced from humanity that most people agree they're bad news. It might be light or very dark, but always about what indefatigable spirit resides within humanity, whether it's killing demons or screwing dragons. Put another way, it's about interspecies relations! Sometimes it involves swords.

Good friends, caring parents, and a public yet low-key school, she overall led a nice life. But she always held a passion for astronomy, space, and the worlds beyond worlds. Her life changed on the eve of her high school graduation for Texas A&amp;M.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, a rash of alien abductions in the area happened to target Gloria. Finding herself in an honest-to-God spaceship, she felt equal parts panic (at being kidnapped) and excited (the opportunity to meet extraterrestrial life). Still, she recognized the danger she was in and managed to hotwire some security protocols. In one of the rooms she found a mysterious necklace of purest gold, seemingly calling out to her...<br/><br/>Donning the necklace, Gloria understood that she had power, real power, and understanding it as innately as one moves their arms, she manipulated the elements of heat, fire, and light to blow a hole in the mothership and commandeered an escape pod for the kidnapped humans.<br/><br/>Gloria tried to go back to a normal life, trying to forget the events which happened to return to college and study. But time after time, she felt a calling. When a forest fire threatened to overwhelm key grazing lands for cattle, she put a stop to it. When rampaging cyclopes and other mythological beasts tore up a busy intersection, Glora confronted the demented storyteller who put them into this world with her psychic dreaming id. She didn't become a superhero overnight; it was more or less a string of events which made her realize something she was not only good at, but was in her nature to do.<br/><br/>Nowadays Gloria works as a NASA scientist in Houston at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. Access to cutting-edge space technology and comprehensive air traffic gives her a network of knowledge and contacts for superpowered threats and abnormalities in the US and wider world.<br/><br/>Gloria lives in Houston, Texas, but is more than capable of traveling all across the US and beyond with her super-powered flight. Her fluency in Spanish makes her an asset in Central and South America, where can talk the talk and keep up to date with local and national news reports in respective countries. New NASA prototypes, the Galactic Police, and/or alien invaders might cause Gloria to go to infinity and beyond.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Allies and Enemies</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Allies:</strong><br/><br/><em>1 - Smoking Clover:</em> Although she does not know his real name or face, a white-hat hacktivist by the handle of Smoking Clover is an invaluable source of information and aid. Gloria figures that he's either a government spook or independently wealthy eccentric, as his remote-controlled robots which sometimes accompany her on missions are both expertly-designed and able to withstand the blows of the more powerful supervillains.<br/><br/><em>2 - Zedja, Galactic Police Officer</em>: This blue-skinned alien woman first met Gloria when an infamous interstellar pair of gangsters tried to take over the Dominican Republic with alien power suits. Although Zedja tends to look down on ""primitive Earthlings,"" Gloria earned her respect with her skill and strong moral fiber.<br/><br/><strong>Enemies:</strong><br/><br/><em>1 - Blue Brigadier:</em> Amy Abott is a former British SAS officer who developed cold-based mutant powers. Disgusted with the state of the world and the perceived decay of her home government, the Blue Brigadier turned to violent action against institutions she feels are guilty of the ""slow downfall of Western civilization."" From active soldiers to office employees, she views all of them as being complicit in a greater machine of corruption which can only be destroyed through massive violent force.<br/><br/>Naturally this makes her an enemy of Solar Flare and other people against the harming of civilians and/or her ideology.<br/><br/><em>2 - Nightlord:</em> The vampiric leader of the Eclipse Cult, the Nightlord seeks to blot out the hated sun and create a world where vampires can rule openly. He comes from old money dating back to medieval noble families, so his organization has key holdings in many business and government institutions around the world.<br/><br/>The Nightlord holds a perverse fascination with Gloria (who he only knows as the Solar Flare), believing that her abilities can help induce ""artificial sunlight"" to help ease the burden of mortal cattle forced to live in a sunless world. In spite of his polite overtures and chatty banter during their fights, Gloria can't help but find him...charming, at times. The Nightlord dreams of making her his bridge, and Gloria has the occasional guilty fantasy of turning him to the forces of good...and maybe let herself get seduced by him once, if she can get away with it.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Solar Flare, Stats</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>Solar Flare- PL 10</strong><br/>Strength 0, Stamina 2, Agility 4, Dexterity 4, Fighting 4, Intellect 4, Awareness 0, Presence 2<br/><br/><strong>Advantages</strong><br/>Agile Feint, Attractive, Benefit (Security Clearance-NASA), Contacts, Daze (Deception), Defensive Roll 7, Interpose, Inventor, Languages 1 (Spanish), Move-by Action, Taunt<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/><br/>Acrobatics 2/+6, Deception 4/+6, Expertise (Astronomy) 4/+8, Investigation 4/+8, Persuasion 4/+6, Ranged Combat (Heat &amp;

She will not use world-destroying tools or things guaranteed to cause excessive civilian casualties, although this is more a subjective line (killing office workers employed by an unethical business corp don't count as 'civilians'). She also can't be bought for services which will compromise her principles.<br/><br/>Reputation: Blue Brigadier is on the terrorist watch list in many countries.

As a child she could almost always be found with her nose in some piece of literature. Thanks to having two highly educated parents and growing up in the shadow of the country's oldest university, Paige received a great deal of encouragement and recognition for her intellectual pursuits. While she could have attended Oxford University, Paige decided to gain a bit of life experience and accepted a scholarship at Harvard in the United States.<br/><br/>As she did back home, Paige excelled academically. She was a very focused student and found most of the extra-curricular activities of her fellow students to be juvenile distractions. She left Harvard with master's degrees in English literature and library science.While she considered returning to Oxford and continuing her education, Paige discovered a position was open at the Franklin Public Library, the oldest such institute in the United States. She was intrigued at the chance to work at such a prestigious place and applied, eventually beating out the other applicants and getting the job.<br/><br/>Over the next few years, Paige rose up the ranks of the library. She also wrote articles for literary journals and contributed short stories to various publications. While not a household name, she was quite content in her life. Not long after being named head librarian, a terrible windstorm hit the town. Paige noticed a set of shelves about to fall and barely got a small child out of the way. She ended up buried under books herself and a large copy of the Oxford dictionary knocked her out. When Paige came to, she was in the hospital. The doctors told her the head trauma had tuned her hair white but other than that she would be fine with some rest. Except Paige wasn't fine.<br/><br/>She found that she could know a lot about people simply by looking at them. While this sometimes turned up some troubling facts, she found it quite interesting. And even more bizarre ability was revealed when she was organizing books at the library before it opened. While holding a coping of <em>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</em> she thought about the title character and founder herself growing like Alice did after consuming the ""EAT ME"" cake. While this was quite shocking, Paige's analytical mind helped keep her calm and with some experimentation she found she could gain the abilities of any literary character in a book she was touching.<br/><br/>At first Paige wasn't sure the best way to use her newfound talents. But a rash of strange crimes popped up in the area and discovered she was now quite the amateur sleuth. And if a situation became dangerous, she was just one book away from being able to handle it.<br/>   <br/><strong>General Powers/Abilities/Skillset: </strong> A highly intelligent woman before gaining her powers, Paige can also ""read"" a person, place, or thing and gain a great deal of information about it. A more spectacular ability is the mimicry of a literary character by touching the book they are in. This is frequently accompanied by a minor transformation to resemble them, such as to be suddenly wearing a cloak and deerstalker cap while channeling Sherlock Holmes.<br/><br/><strong>Character Ons/Offs: </strong>Paige has suppressed her sexual urges for years, seeing them as a distraction. As a result she is seems frigid at first but if aroused she becomes a shameless slut. While she is unaware of it right now, she is a masochist, an exhibitionist, and an anal whore. Her massive breasts are a particular focus of her hidden deviant desires. <br/><br/><strong>Player Ons/Offs:</strong> Here (https://www.f-list.net/c/foxy%20oni/)<br/><br/><strong>Preferred Territory: </strong>New England, she works in Franklin, MA, and makes frequent trips to Boston to attend cultural events. <br/><br/><strong>Allies:</strong> <br/><br/><em>1 - Officer Dick O'Malley </em>A local cop who has known Paige for years as he is a frequent visitor to the library. At first it was for his fondness for old pulp detective novels but over the years it has become more of a fondness for Paige. She has helped him out on some cases, which he both enjoys for her company but wonders if he relies too much on her to do the thinking for him. Alone at night, Dick fantasizes about having Paige handcuffed and bent over the hood of his car while he violates her with his nightstick. These thoughts sometimes pop into his head while he's around Paige, making him feel a bit embarrassed.  <br/><br/><em>2 - Abbie Hoffman: </em>The daughter of hippies and named for the anarchist, Abbie is a free spirit who own a combination secondhand bookstore/head shop. Paige would occasionally stop in to see if Abbie had any interesting books and the two have become unlikely friends. A free spirit, Abbie is very open-minded sexually and thinks the tightly-wound librarian could use a release.<br/><br/><strong>Enemies:</strong> <br/><br/><em>1 - Lucifer:</em> Not the actual Devil, this is some sort of possessing spirit responsible for the Salem witch trials. It recently escaped the old bible it had been imprisoned in and has begun taking over citizens in Salem in order to make the perform all sorts of depraved sexual acts. As it was a former clerk of hers that freed it and became its first victim, Paige feels a responsibility to stop it.  <br/><br/> <em>2 - The Puritan:</em> An unknown individual sick of all the sin in the world, the Puritan has begun a one-man crusade to purify the filth. This is done in a very dangerous and destructive manner. Anything remotely sexual must be eliminated, this includes books. This clearly puts the Puritan at odds with Paige, who takes on the only person more repressed than she is. The Puritan learns to hate her as the sight of the busty booklover stirs certain feelings in him that he loathes.<br/><br/><strong>What Kind Of Story Is The Character the Protagonist of?</strong> Weird mysteries that require her intellect to unravel and her mimicry powers to deal with.</div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">The Librarian: Figures</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><strong>The Librarian</strong> - PL 10<br/><br/>Strength 0, Stamina 2, Agility 2, Dexterity 2, Fighting 2, Intellect 4, Awareness 4, Presence 3<br/><br/><strong>Advantages</strong><br/>Attractive, Connected, Contacts, Defensive Roll 2, Eidetic Memory, Equipment 2, Improved Initiative, Jack-of-all-trades, Well-informed<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/>Close Combat: Crop 4 (+6), Deception 2 (+5), Expertise: Librarian 4 (+8), Insight 6 (+10), Intimidation 4 (+7), Investigation 8 (+12), Perception 6 (+10), Persuasion 4 (+7), Ranged Combat: Book-a-rang 2 (+4), Stealth 2 (+4), Technology 2 (+6)<br/><br/><strong>Powers</strong><br/><strong>Easy Reader: Comprehend 1</strong> (Languages - Read All)<br/><strong>Literary Adaptation: Variable 7</strong> (Limited: Only Abilities of Literary Characters, Source: Book Containing Literary Character Being Adapted)<br/><strong>Reading People: Cumulative Mind Reading 10</strong> (DC 20; Cumulative, Subtle 2: undetectable; Distracting)<br/>. . <strong>Sharp Eyes: Senses 21</strong> (Alternate; Analytical: Vision, Analytical (Type): Vision, Counters All Concealment: Vision, Counters Illusion: Vision, Danger Sense: Vision, Distance Sense, Low-light Vision, Microscopic Vision 4: atom-size, Postcognition, Advantages: Assessment)<br/><br/><strong>Equipment</strong><br/>Binoculars, Book-a-rang (Boomerang), Cell Phone (Smartphone), Crop (Club), Restraints, Undercover Shirt<br/><br/><strong>Offense</strong><br/>Initiative +6<br/>Book-a-rang, +4 (DC 16)<br/>Crop, +6 (DC 17)<br/>Grab, +2 (DC Spec 10)<br/>Reading People: Cumulative Mind Reading 10 (DC Will 20)<br/>Throw, +2 (DC 15)<br/>Unarmed, +2 (DC 15)<br/><br/><strong>Complications</strong><br/>Obsession: The Librarian has a need to know everything with little regard to things like ""privacy"" or ""national security.""<br/>Quirk: Paige's fondness for polysyllabic words and British slang make some people wish she came with subtitles.<br/><br/><strong>Languages</strong><br/>English<br/><br/><strong>Defense</strong><br/>Dodge 8, Parry 8, Fortitude 2, Toughness 6/2, Will 11<br/><br/><strong>Power Points</strong><br/>Abilities 38 + Powers 60 + Advantages 11 + Skills 22 (44 ranks) + Defenses 19 = 150</div></div>"

She was kind and well liked, did well in school, and went to the University of Texas with the aim of getting into medical research. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in biology, she enrolled in a graduate program and began working at the JJ Pickle Research campus where she managed the lab rabbits for an ongoing project. <br/><br/>Her life might have continued as it had in perpetuity, quietly successful, if it hadn't been for one particularly determined rabbit that broke free on one fateful day. Frankie pursued the escaped rabbit with single minded determination all across the campus. Unfortunately for the both of them, the rabbit wandered into the middle of a physics experiment, and Frankie caught the wayward bunny just in time for them both to be instantly vaporized by a high energy particle beam. <br/><br/>Their destruction was so thorough that no one even noticed until the recordings of the experiment were reviewed later. It was a terrible tragedy, and lab security and safety protocols were reviewed and updated, but the event was otherwise forgotten.<br/><br/>At least, until the experiment was run again a few months later. The beam fired again with no issues. Once the test chamber was cleared and opened, rather than the nothing the researchers expected, they found a naked and confused young woman that looked like a cross between Frankie Filbert, the rabbit, and the particle beam that blasted them to bits.<br/><br/>There was some initial shock, but not as much as one might think. This sort of thing came with the territory when you were working on high energy particle experiments. The head of the project, Dr. Rosanna Thorpe, kept Frankie's reappearance quiet at first, giving her a chance to re-acquaint herself with physical existence. This turned out to be a good idea. While she remembered her old life in general terms, the Frankie Filbert that coalesced out of energized photons was not the same person that had been disintegrated a few months prior. Both she and Dr. Thorpe decided that it would be best to allow her family to believe that she was still dead, rather than subject them to losing their daughter all over again.<br/><br/>Once it became apparent that her unique situation did in fact grant her super powers, Frankie cobbled together a costume and began using them to help people, as one does in this sort of situation. The media threw several monikers her way, though 'Color Splash' and 'Rainbow Bunny' seem to be the ones that have stuck.<br/><br/>Frankie wasn't much of a fighter, and focused her efforts on disaster relief and humanitarian projects, eventually becoming the head of a small but successful charity organization. Her actions in the wake of several high profile disasters, flashy appearance, and upbeat attitude have made her quite popular, especially among children, and she has used that popularity to advocate on social issues.<br/><br/>Unbeknownst to many however, the Rainbow Bunny has a dark secret, even beyond that of her original identity. While it's obvious that she has some kind of blended biology between human and rabbit, the deeper implications are hidden. To put it simply, she has a nearly uncontrollable sex drive. As much as she (and probably lots of other people) wish it weren't the case, that fact could be devastating to her reputation and the causes she supports were it to become public. As such, she must constantly struggle to satisfy her own urges in secret.<br/><br/>Allies: <br/>1 - Ally Name: Dr. Rosanna Thorpe Dr. Thorpe is the only person who knows the full truth of Frankie's past, as well as her secret lusts. Rosanna was instrumental in helping Frankie become established as a hero, helping her to file for a new legal identity and find a place to live. She remains her ally and close confidant.<br/>2 - Ally Name: Firewatch Firewatch has very little public presence, but is very well known among the hero community. He maintains a low profile, and not much is known about him except that he has the ability to sense impending disasters. His warnings are vague in both location and detail, but they have saved thousands of lives none the less. When people wonder how heroes manage to be in the right place at the right time, more often than not, Firewatch is the answer.<br/>Enemies: <br/>1 - FrEnemy Name: Max Justice Max is a US Army veteran that gained moderate super-physicality when exposed to a dirty bomb made from an exotic isotope. He spent a few years as an Army super before retiring to ""Fight for sovereign rights"". Though they theoretically work towards the same ends, he and Frankie don't get along very well. Mostly because Max is kind of an asshole. They both see the same problems, like homelessness or drugs or gangs, but while Frankie usually tries to solve them by building houses or addressing the underlying economic problems with varying success, Max likes the more traditional solution of ""beat people up and throw them in jail"" even when doing so just makes a problem worse. In fact, especially when it makes things worse.<br/>2 - Enemy Name: Darknet Darknet is a mysterious figure, or organization, or something, that operates outside the law and the public eye. Though they never seem to be involved in anything 'big', they show up in relation to small crimes over and over again all over the world. They seem to act primarily as a facilitator, connecting small time drug dealers with suppliers, connecting people with illegal goods to distribution networks, laundering money, all sorts of things. Rather than committing illegal acts directly, they provide opportunities and incentives that make it easy for others to break the law and exploit others for their own benefit.<br/></div></div><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button""> Frankie Filbert Stats</div><div class=""spoiler_body""><span class=""bbc_size"" style=""font-size: 14pt;""><strong>Frankie Filbert</strong></span> - PL 10<br/>Strength 1, Stamina 2, Agility 4, Dexterity 2, Fighting 0, Intellect 2, Awareness 1, Presence 2<br/><br/><strong>Advantages</strong><br/>Agile Feint, Defensive Attack, Equipment (1), Improved initiative (5), Move-by Action, Power Attack, Set-up, Skill Mastery (Treatment), Teamwork<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/>Acrobatics 6 (+10), Expertise (Construction) 4 (+6), Expertise (Science) 4 (+6), Perception 8 (+9), Persuasion 4 (+6), Treatment 8 (+10)<br/><br/><strong>Powers</strong><br/><strong>Anywhere she shines:</strong> Flight 20 (No hovering, straight lines from one non-perfectly transparent surface to another) 2,000,000 mph - 4,000 miles per round - Aquatic<br/><strong>Photonic Body:</strong> Immunity 3 (Aging, Disease, Poison), Immortality 1, Light Control 2, Senses 1 (Radial Vision), Regeneration 5 (Only in full spectrum light, persistent)<br/><span class=""bbc_u""><strong>Refraction/Diffraction Array</strong></span><br/><strong>Refraction:</strong>Summon Duplicates 2 (non-heroic, Horde, 8 minions, Mental Link, Minions cant go beyond where a very bright light at Frankie's position would very faintly reach)<br/><strong>Diffraction:</strong> Quickness 17<br/><strong>Diffusion:</strong> Insubstantial 3 (Energy - Light)<br/><strong>Superluminal Brawl:</strong> Strength based Damage 2 (Multi-attack, Accurate x8, Split x2, Reach x2)<br/><br/><strong>Equipment</strong><br/>Armored Costume (Protection 3), Medical Supplies, Plastic Restraints<br/><br/><strong>Offense</strong><br/>Initiative +24<br/>Grab, +0 (DC Spec 11)<br/>Unarmed, +0 (DC 11)<br/>Feint, +20 vs Acrobatics/Insight<br/>Superluminal Brawl: Multi-attack, Split 2, 15 ft reach, +16 to hit, (DC 18)<br/><br/><strong>Complications</strong><br/>Motivation: Doing Good - Frankie has a deep empathy for others and genuinely wants to make the world a better place for everyone.

Suffice to say, she's fairly well known.<br/><br/>Secret Identity: Frankie both is and is not Frankie Filbert, UT Graduate and normal person. She remembers her life and her family, but can't help but feel like those are the memories of another person. Knowing that she couldn't be the daughter they lost, she decided that it would be best to stay away. As such, she keeps her true history a secret.<br/><br/>Addiction/Secret: The hapless rabbit that was vaporized along with Frankie Filbert left her more than just his ears and a poofy tail. Of all the lab rabbits, he was the biggest and horniest, and it was his quest for the lady rabbits that led him to his fate. To put it quite simply: Frankie's libido is a raging maelstrom that cannot be tamed. Worse, when particularly aroused, what appears to be her clitoris slides out from under it's hood and reveals itself to be a rather meaty rabbit-y penis.

A city of prosperity and greatness, at least that's what it advertises itself to be and has been for many centuries. However reality is bit different; it is indeed largest city of Westeros and it has great sights to see and wealth is in abundance amongst the rich merchants and nobles. However the smallfolk do also live in here in their more rustic and humble houses around main streets and when you go narrower (and less safe) streets, poverty starts become more and more apparent.<br/><br/>Many rumors and tales go around in streets, taverns and by hearsay talk amongst smallfolk and merchants alike. But so far biggest news at the date is death of King's Hand, died by old age and some say by poisoning. But so far the former King's Hand had been in duty long while and he was pretty old already and was close to the king Baratheon, so old age was much suspected as cause of death.<br/><br/>None the less king needs new hand to swipe his ass, as some do say, however king haven't declared new Hand yet. Instead soon as Hand died he headed north with his queen and his personal retinue. Some wonder why king heads north but some those on the know on things know that Starks, northest great house, resides in north and king seems haven't forgotten Eddard Stark, his old friend since rebellion.<br/><br/><strong>Boladyn Cerwyn:</strong>Your father Medger had send you accompany a important shipment of fur and timber from the north to King's Landing, you are responsible for hired caravan drivers (twenty of them) and ten other support staff and then eight house Cerwyn axes which accompanied the caravan. Everything had gone smoothly during the journey even if rumors of wildling bands had been heard during the trip but nothing had been seen. You arrived to King's Landing and goods were placed to storage and drivers and staff paid. However you and eight axes had been stuck now over a week in local tavern known as<em>Gilded Bride</em>located at street of seeds. It was upscale tavern, good food, ale and even wine on menu. Also supposedly the merchant from Braavos sends his negotiator who will inspect goods and then buy the goods from Boladyn. But it has been week since arrival and your own gold has been greatly diminished from the delay for negotiator to arrive and you cannot change to cheaper tavern because<em>Gilded Bride</em>was agreed meeting place (albeit time was not defined but his house did give estimate when shipment arrives to King's Landing).<br/><br/>The furs were excellent; all some rare furs like albino stag furs and one direwolf fur belt and even single shadowcat fur from the Vale and that itself is good and worthy fit for a king! The timbers were all good and pre-cut so they are ready to use immediately, northern trees were few in number but were very strong yet ideal for carving beautiful details. However his men have started ask past two days when they leave, as the payment to his house men is starting run out rapidly on ale and gold digging wenches of King's Landing. So there is dilemma for him and he needs make a decision, and soon.<br/><br/><strong>Halaster Mahngda:</strong>You have now been marooned on maindland for two months, in that time you have walked, walked and walked. A damn lot. Your original boots had been nearly worn out from all walking along with caravans which were only ones to willing to hire you (even if suspicious about). Now after months you now got to see King's Landing, your present contract was with a dwarf merchant known as Darn Goldbell who was heading to street of silk, a red light district in the city. Once his carriage (he never invited you in to his carriage) he gestures from carriage window and places jingling big pouch in your hand and the man dressed richly on satin and leather and furs speaks dismissive tone at you; ""There is your payment mercenary, now go away, I have meeting to attend to here and I do not wish offend my partners in bringing in shaggy road dog which I found."" With that said carriage started moving as man hammered with his fist on roof and carriage started move on.<br/><br/>As Halaster checked for his pay, it's full of coppers and even when counting them all it's nowhere close to ten gold for agreed amount....it was barely three gold in total."

The streets were crowded however and a lone Ironborn in Kings Landing stood little chance of getting away with open murder. His blood got even hotter when he saw that the arrogant noble had stiffed him on the agreed pay. Squaring off with the carriage as it road away he growled a deep  menacing way. The heat turned cold as it always did though. Mumbling under his breath he smiled. It wouldn't be seen as amusing to any sane person however, this was a smile of vengeful determination ""Oh this dog Will have his day you fat fuck.""<br/>He had earned a name among his people and that name was then learned by others, Howling Halaster. Named for his wolf like howl once he had his prey where he wanted them. Turning in place he shouldered a peasant to the ground as if he had brushed against a blade of grass and made his way to the nearest pub. He had a powerful thirst from to many days on the road and he needed music to get the tin twang of the nobleborns voice out of his head. A woman would be nice too but he doubted they had any in this soft city up to the challenge. Storming in to the pub he scanned the room with disdain then went to a table. Setting down he kicked back the table a few feet to prop his feet up on it and barked out ""Bring me some damn ale!""<br/>It was nicer than most places he had been in the north or back home. The inns and pubs along the road were little more than shitty cottages. This one had room and more than one choice behind the bar.<em>Good,</em>he thought. Better to sooth my mood.<br/>"

Westeros, Kings Landing. She arrived here lost and afraid, but thankfully found a man who was willing to take her under his wing. It was so different, Westeros and far Essos, and as she was traded from Master to Master, the further west she was brought. Even now the traders were going about their business, Miyuki observing them from her position. Looking back at the other occupant of the room, the former slave had to wonder... He had not taken her for his pleasure, and even when her last Master set her free, it was after she was forced to satisfy him for the entire journey from Meereen.<br/><br/>Why did he not take her, even when Miyuki did offer herself to the man? She might not know. A smile formed on her face as she hopped back onto her bed, doing several stretches and exercises. She was a generic slave, not a person destined for greatness, but Miyuki always dreamt of meeting such awesome people. She heard of the Khals back in Essos, had even served one of them and participated in a Dothraki Festival, and they had been the epitome of the Warrior Men in her view.<br/><br/>Thinking of such things was something Miyuki had to tell herself not to do too often, as the distraction of viewing herself lie by a muscled man caused her to lose her concentration, slipping as she tried to perform a Meereenese Knot. Falling off the bed onto her backside, Miyuki gave off a painful whine as she rubbed her rump, wondering if she woke up her companion by accident. Anyway, it was time for them to wake up, as breakfast beckons.<br/><br/>""Jacob... Master Jacob..."" Miyuki whispered, slowly shaking the man. Even though he was not her master, Miyuki still used that honourific out of habit. ""Master Jacob, it is time to wake up."""

Everything seemed crowded and noisy, everything smelled and everybody seemed sad or angry. The increasingly large stay at the Gilded Bride allowed them to see many people passing through, even if they really only wanted to see their one contact. The cost of the stay was becoming more and more daunting, especially since they were paying for a sense of 'luxury' that the Northerners weren't feeling from the place. Every day they were forced to wait made him feel more and more like they were being toyed with, and his own perceived arrogance of the merchant made him dread the negotiation even more.<br/><br/>He eventually sent orders for most of the support staff to head back to Castle Cerwyn. Only a pair of them were kept to ensure that the furs and timber were in top shape, to look their best for the sale to come. Half of the Axes were sent home with them to ensure the support staff was safe on the road. He tried to offer a plan for them to leave 'casually' and not all at once, some effort to preempt if this was part of the plan before somebody tried to ambush and rob them, even if he he hadn't knew how to counter that.<br/><br/>While the remaining Axes were guarding the stash, the two support staff were sent out to try to track down this merchant -- or at least confirm whether or not he was dead. No point in waiting for a dead man after all. Boladyn himself went out in search of some supplementary income; not against hard labor, and partially glad for the distraction."

Not surprising really but he had hoped for a least a good northern brew, which she claimed to have. Wrapping a probing hand around the back of the half breeds leg he gave her an exaggerated wink. Halaster was aware that nothing would come of the advance but he was still going to enjoy himself. In a low gravely voice ""A pitcher of the brown sweetness."" he raised his voice intentionally so that the room could hear him. ""Show these silk swaddled milk drinkers how to really drink."" He released her leg with a swat on the ass. Watching her go he then stood up and headed to the cloak rack near the door. Making a display of removing his road coat so that his weapons could be seen by all. Each was a massive one handed weapon and the thought that he wielded them both was clear by how they were worn. Still facing the wall he hung his coat, rolled his neck as it popped loudly then undid his weapons belt and turned back to his seat, dropping the harness over the back of the chair.<br/>Looking over at the gnome with a nod ""And some meat."" as if he was still ordering from minutes early. He flopped back down in his seat and scanned the room once again. Not likely any of them were worth a fight. He had gotten stiff over the past week with nothing but riding and baby setting to be done. Pulling his dagger from his boot and planting it in the table he sneered to himself and shook his head slightly. Hell these wern't fighting men anyhow. He should have headed toward the docks instead.<em>My fucking dagger is probably bigger than these fucks swords.</em>he muttered."

Parties meant dealing with crowds. These were all on the list of things that Paratha, Lady of Fire, would generally have avoided.<br/><br/>Which was why everyone was on high alert. Among other things, the Watcher in the Twilight would be in attendance, as well as the Abbess of the Order of the Weeping Rose.

Interrobang the Impossible was tapped to play buffer between the two at all times, a task which he merely declared: ""difficult, not impossible.""<br/><br/>A small selection of other superheroes had been invited, including (but not limited to): The Third Exorcist Calanthe, Rainbow Bunny, Solar Flare, The Librarian, Someone called Triple A (Alexander Aloysius Alistair somehow being too difficult for a Dragon to remember, likely an intentional slight on Paratha's part for reasons unknown), and Maya Skylar. All invitations remarked ""feel free to arrive in full garb, your costumes are adorable! Heroes always do the same things, no matter the age, but I admit, those outfits look quite fetching on some of you."" Some of our heroes had about as much desire to come to this party as they had desire for a root canal performed by spider monkeys, but everyone had been informed through their various sources: Paratha could upturn the apple cart and cause worldwide havoc if she ever really wanted to. Best to show up and play her game rather than risk her teleporting into the General Council of the United Nations with a list of grievances again. (The Summer of 1998 had been a goddamn nightmare.)<br/><br/>The stage was set. Everyone found themselves at the entrance of a looming castle somewhere in Romania, with a sign made of floating flames at the entrance that said ""Welcome!""<br/><br/><strong>You have all arrived at relatively the same time.

There were a lot of people here he had wanted to meet, and had not particularly wanted to do so as a she. But this strange little curse that damned succubus had put on him for giggles had made his normal plans rather difficult. So, Alexandra was determined to keep a low-ish profile, listen to the Watcher's various whims, not antagonize the Weeping Rose Battle-Nuns they had an uneasy alliance with, and make sure that Paratha was kept happy. At least she had followed the old dragoness's suggestion about costumes. Not that she ever wore any outfit but these stylish robes that could also be armor. No need to ever use anything else, really.<br/><br/>So, the nearly albino woman stood solemnly outside the castle, gripping her spellbook. ""The teleport spell worked then, Shayla.""

She turned her attention to Rainbow Bunny, the girl who she could only assume had dropped out of the sky.<em>What?</em>She opened her mouth and shut it again. The feeling of the wind playing at her was so very, very odd. The woman was like... she was a math problem.

Alexandra bowed a bit. ""Well met, Ms. Calanthe. Alexandra at your service as always."" No need to introduce herself again. The Order of the Weeping Rose well knew his identity, including his current sex-variable curse. Sadly they did not have a cure for it. Or the Watcher had told them not to bother. ""I agree.

Calanthe would have heard a jet, even an idle one. Curious, and worthy of investigating.<br/><br/>She couldn't fly. No wings, after all. But there was this thing dragons did where they told the laws of physics to sit down and shut up, which let their wings (powerful though they were) actually handle a creature of that size and strength. That meant that when she decided to jump, gravity could be quite tardy in informing her she should come back down.<br/><br/>Crouching down and feeling the minute vibrations in the earth with one hand and the movement of the air across her face, she gauged the distance to this tower. The disadvantage was that missing her target could go quite badly, which meant that she wanted to calculate her trajectory<em>exactly</em>. Solar Flare was tremendously helpful in this; the fire and heat from the ace pilot's flight washed outward, outlining and detailing the contours of the tower as the waves of superheated air passed over them. Sudden as a pouncing tiger and light as a feather, Calanthe leapt into the air, producing no more displacement on the ground than if she had hopped over a tree root."

There was in fact a jet crashed into the highest parapet of a castle. The problem was that as they flew higher, they began to see what looked like a snowflake, built entirely out of different castles floating in space, glowing gently. It was as though the world had been fractured into a kaleidoscopic drawing made of lights, colors, and incredibly potent magic. The energies cascading around them all had a quite obvious purpose: to try and keep people out, and even if they did get in, would it be a castle in the correct universe?<br/><br/>Written in flame, all the way up there, was a sign that said,<strong>""Now, you didn't think it'd be that easy, did you? Come through the front door, please. Except you. We need to talk""</strong><br/><br/>The magic parted as Calanthe drew closer to it, and changing one's trajectory mid-leap is not an easy proposition.<br/><br/><strong>Calanthe: test your dodge! Unless you can change your trajectory mid-leap, it's going to be absurdly high! Failure means you will enter parts unknown without backup!</strong><br/><strong>Solar Flare: You could catch her, but I would need a rather impressive test of your Flight powers. (Flight Ranks + d20 Roll)</strong><br/><br/>Meanwhile, down in front of the others, trumpets began blaring, and the drawbridge to what had been a seemingly ordinary ancient castle began to lower in front of the assembled heroes.<br/><br/>""HEROES!"" A booming voice announced, ""Welcome to The Lady of Fire's First Annual Post Millennium Gala! Because after a good 71 years of deliberation, she's determined that every year we're still alive in a world with nuclear weapons is a year worth celebrating! ENTER!""<br/><br/>As the drawbridge fully opened, a set of massive steel double-doors on the castle cracked open, revealing a beautifully appointed entrance hall.

She wasn't entirely sure whether the trap would make many whole copies, or julienne her into many pieces, or drop her into one of many locations of which her target was one, but none of those options sounded pleasant, and stopping (while doable) was hard. It was the sort of impending doom that made a person's heart stop cold for one terrifying moment.<br/><br/>It was some good luck, then, that Solar Flare had identified the threat and caught her. The heroine hadn't exactly chosen the most stable grip, so she looped her arms around the woman's neck and shoulders to help hang on.

Alexandra stopped. Calanthe was right. Solar Flare was right. This team had a lot of heavy-hitting women able to wreck their foes physically. Right now, without her magic, she was no asset. There was nothing to slice with her blade. They did not need another woman to physically threaten, they needed a man to cast spells. But she did not want the others to know about Lilith's curse. And so, she would have to change, if she could. And then he would have to use an illusion on himself to keep them from noticing.<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath, Alexandra communicated her plan to Shayla as she stepped behind the others. The pixie flew up at Elizabeth's projection. ""Hey! Elizabeth! Aloysius may grumble, and I do not like that you are always messing with my mistress, but I always like seeing you. You look really good in a gown, as always. I like a woman who knows how to strut her stuff.""<br/><br/>While the pixie was being herself, Alexandra pulled out his spellbook and closed her eyes. Her form shuddered, and underneath her heavy coat her body changed shape. Hips pulled in, shoulders forced out. Chest flattened. He opened his eyes. Wordlessly, he activated the illusion spell, focusing on the visual and the auditory only. As the illusion took hold, his transformation appeared to reverse. When he spoke, it was still in a feminine voice. ""I can manipulate temperatures and environments however I see fit, given a bit of time. I can also shield you all against the such temperature changes, should it be necessary. How may I assist?"""

Surrounding them is grass. They see a skeleton in the grass and someone calling and waving from across the grass. The characters soon find out that the grass is no ordinary grass. Some of it cuts players and drinks their blood. At the other side of the grass is a boy named Walo who takes the characters to his parents house and they soon meet his mother, Ute. They are told that they have been summoned by the God, Ackaedes (the only God of the world) to be the Champions of Newgate.<br/><br/>All the character discover (sooner or later) that they do not look like their old selves. Some of the players start discovering that they have magical powers. Some other players catch up and join the crew. Charlotte, an NPC, has learned how to use Pokeroot, a local herb, to create poultices that take about 15 minutes to heal some wounds.<br/><br/>Walo escorts the Champions to Newgate where they are met by the Town Elders and High Priest of Ackaedes. All inhabitants of Newgate are human. Champions are told about a threat to the city in the form of gnolls that have been attacking and that the last set of Champions are dead or missing. They also learn that other outskirt cities get champions but none come to the capitol city of Adyna."

This telegram offer had been too good to refuse since it promised a plane to his specifications; those specifics had been quite detailed by the time he had returned the telegraph... but he hadn't seen any DC-2's on the local airfield when he had hitched a ride in the trainer seat of the hot new ship that the Navy was playing with... it was a monster of a plain, but it had flown well all the same...

Fire Aura will make that very unpleasant. Wealth and influence? Won't help much against a holy order.<br/><br/>Calanthe can totally take her on in a straight fight. Thus, Piroska's game is trying to make sure that a straight fight never, ever happens, which is<em>very</em>much a vampire thing. :D<br/><br/>Edit: But that wasn't what you asked! Hmm. After breaking out of the dungeon, Calanthe engaged in some careful sabotage of the old castle's supports (the Countess' previous castle was old and decaying; perfect aesthetically but a lot more fragile than her current one, which Toph-o-vision is perfect for figuring out), before confronting the coven.

A little bit of difference between them. Alexander has a spell book full of spells (he cannot cast spells without this book) as well as the Ritualist and Artificer advantages, Alexandra is a better sword-fighter. There is only a small chance that he/she can change forms on purpose, and doing so is exhausting and takes awhile. I have not decided what sort of outside effects should cause the change, and am open to suggestions. Probably not water, though.<br/><br/>Note: two of the powers listed under Shayla's array have a cost of zero because they are Shayla's powers with the Affects Other: Limited to Alexander/Alexandra Only modifier rather than a power that belongs to them (enhanced senses and commincations, the sort of things that you want from a familiar. If Shayla has enough points, I may add to that list), only kept in Shayla's array for ease of reference.<br/><br/>Shayla's sheet will be up next. I made her an effect of the Summon power, with the Heroic modifier, so she is no longer a minion but a full character. Her cost is counterbalanced by the fact that damage to her hurts Alexander/Alexandra badly, her 'death' incapacitates them, and summoning her back after she is separated/'killed' is a difficult, draining, and skill-intensive process."

The Watcher might get a pass as both one of the ""good"" magicians and also way too powerful to deal with, but I doubt the Order has many nice things to say about her.<br/><br/>What comes to mind is C.S. Lewis: ""It may be a great advance in knowledge not to believe in witches: there is no moral advance in not executing them when you do not think they are there. You would not call a man humane for ceasing to set mousetraps if he did so because he believed there were no mice in the house.""<br/><br/>Edit! I can see Alexander being more palatable to the Abbess, if he gets the chance to prove himself as honorable (and possibly through the intervention of the Hospitaller) because his magic derives from study and skill. But if the Watcher is a proper Doctor Strange there's way too much otherworldly consorting and black magic for them to be allies, even if they are both heroes. (The fact that they tackle the same kinds of enemies might actually make that worse by repeatedly bringing their plans into conflict.)"

She does make bargains with some faerie. I used the Doctor Strange comparison as an archetype of hero rather than having her getting her powers the same way. I envisioned her as some sort of ancient semi-fae figure like a Merlin or a Nimue who obtained immortality and dedicated her time to keeping powerful beings from invading. Hmm... actually, I am inclined to actually make her Nimue, Merlin's apprentice. Probably Celtic Christian then. Likely views the Order of the Weeping Rose as upstarts who do not really understand what they are doing.<br/><br/>Actually, that makes for a good conflict. The Order looks on the Watcher as being this vaguely suspect in her methods and dealings, while the Watcher sees them as mere mortals meddling in affairs beyond their ken. But despite that, they are on the same side, and will begrudgingly call on the other when they need something. The Watcher acknowledges their superior exorcists and capability of getting rid or evil artifacts that she know would tempt her too much, the Order realizes that the Watcher is very, very old and has a lot of useful lore stored up.

To say nothing of all the times he's gotten possessed by, empowered or released a demon to try and deal with something bigger and nastier, or rode the razor's edge on trying to use black magic to good ends.)<br/><br/>That does sound good. As for blowing up haunted churches, another quote comes to mind from good old Padraig O'Ruanai:<br/>""A possibility I considered in Exalted, vis-a-vis the psychological effects of the titular state of being, is that you'd gradually get more physical while you talk. Normal people when they get excited will start poking and pulling on each other's arms and such, but Exalted are much more resilient to pain and discomfort so neither they nor you would notice you're doing it. Without being called out on it you'd get into the habit of doing it more and more strongly, until eventually one day you realise that at some point during your political debate you started a kung fu duel.<br/><br/>Or maybe you don't."""

These characters will definitely mesh well. Or at least entertainingly.<br/><br/>Working on the Watcher's Character Sheet. As a fifteen hundred year old PL 16 Archmage she is probably going to be a bit OP, huge number of character points even for her level, the sort of character who exists more as a background power than will probably ever be in an actual on-screen fight. I also added a backstory for her.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">The Watcher</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">A very powerful Magistra Magi of unknown age, she is Alexander's teacher in the ways of magic. Considered one of the world’s greatest Archmages, she protects Earth from cosmic evils of terrifying power, and is often busy off in some other dimension. Despite her tendency towards very revealing outfits, she is usually quite serious. She is mostly straight (or claims to be at least, reality does not bear this out), more dominant than not, and is a voyeur/exhibitionist. This is partly tempered by her Celtic Christian faith, although she does have a tendency to claim that human sexual mores do not apply to her when it is convenient.<br/><br/>The truth is that she was none other than the famous Cambion wizard Merlin’s apprentice/daughter, Nimue. Although later legends muddled the details every which way, often folding her and her mother Vivien and aunt Nyneve (the two ladies of the Lake, fae nymphs) into the same character, she is not her mother and was not responsible for her father's mythic fate. Her ancestry makes her ¼ human, ¼ succubus, ½ nymph, which explains the terrifying natural talent for magic she has, refined over a thousand and half years into possibly the planets most single powerful magician. It also explains her utter lack of modesty and carefully controlled sex-obsession. Her actual origin is a carefully kept secret: as far as those few people who know about her at all are concerned she is the ancient, nameless Watcher in the Twilight, a stern (if scantily clad) guardian of Earth against magical threats.</div></div><br/>Yep.

She was picked on a lot by her brothers and spent a lot of time in the woods near the family farm, exploring and making up stories in her head. She always had dreams of becoming a veterinarian, but her grades were never quite good enough to get a scholarship and her lack of extracurriculars made it hard to get into college. Wanting to try to make something of her life and not just mooch off of her parents (although they were more than willing to let her) she ended up applying to a community college and is currently spending her summer working nights at a gas station to try to pay for her crappy little apartment and put money aside for tuition and books. She's got a boring, depressing life and isn't expecting it to get much more interesting, and will be rather shocked by being pulled into another world."

He grew up living a normal, mundane life. He played sports, dated girls, and got along relatively well with his parents and older sister. There were money problems and arguments from time to time, but most days, he had not a worry in the world. That said, he did find that things got boring from time to time. Perhaps this is what led to his decision to enlist in the U.S Army once he turned eighteen.<br/><br/>His experience as a soldier-- much to his parents' appreciation-- didn't mirror what was displayed in the movies and history books. He was trained and disciplined to use deadly force, but saw no real combat in his service. It wasn't until he returned home that he would see such violence.<br/><br/>His sister had begun dating a rich young man. A boisterous, condescending ass of a human being. And an abusive one too, as it turned out. After catching wind of that fact, Greg went after him with a vengeance. He'd meant to threaten him, maybe rough him up a little, but when the fool flew at him with a knife, he defended himself. He surrendered to the police shortly afterward. Witnesses had seen him barge into the the man's home, and had seen the aftermath of their squabble. Deep down he knew that he could have disarmed him non lethally, but in the heat of the moment, emotion had taken over.<br/><br/>The man's parents, having the connections they did, and a burning hatred in their hearts for him, made certain he was sentenced to the full extent of the law. He would rot away in prison for the rest of his days, all because of one moment. A mistake, no doubt, but one he couldn't bring himself to regret morally. His sister refused to speak to him or acknowledge his existence after the incident. His parents visited initially, but stopped coming altogether after awhile. Maybe it had become too difficult for them. In any case, he had to accept his fate, or so he believed."

By the time she was 13 she was wheel chair bound and her ALS had rendered most of her muscles useless.  When everyone is trying to avoid looking at you it makes them easier to watch. She studied people as a pastime and though she was in the care of her parents she felt utterly alone much of the time and the other times she felt like a burden.<br/><br/>They had money and strived to make her life as comfortable and normal as possible, but she had come to grips with the fact that she was going to die young and alone. This disease was going to rob her of the moments that everyone around her got to experience and she was tired of watching the rest of the world live their lives.<br/><br/>Often she would go to sleep hoping not to wake up in the morning. But she was trapped in this life. Molly did have something of a sharp mind. She spent much of her free time reading, listening to books on tape, watching anything educational she could find on the internet and public programming. She loved fantasy novels—stories about far away places or people pushed to the extremes and, as much as she loved science, she always fancied the idea of becoming a novelist.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>""I don't know if this is who I am or someone I'm just trying on.""<br/><br/><strong>Ideals: </strong>Aspiration: ""I want to be able to make difference in the world and not just be stuck watching the world from the sidelines""<br/><br/><strong>Bonds:</strong>""I love my parents and one thing I wish is that they were free of the burden of caring for me.""<br/><br/><strong>Flaws:</strong>""I've never been faced with moral quandary. I've read about the question of right and wrong in books, seen it in movies, but never been asked to make a choice.""<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>Molly's mother was a very beautiful young woman and had Molly grown up without a degenerative disease she might have been the same. She's got the same strawberry blonde hair and eyes, but the rest of her has fallen victim to her ALS. She has most use of her right arm, which is lucky but her left arm and shoulder are raised in a permanent shrug.<br/><br/>The Molly after she wakes up looks mostly like her mother does in old pictures, large green eyes, flowing almost-orange hair, and a thin-curvy body.<br/><br/>Her in game outfit is something like this.<br/><div align=""center"">(http://i.imgur.com/CihQhSQ.jpg?1)<br/>Spells<br/>-Mage Armor<br/>-Magic Missile<br/>-Ray of Sickness<br/>-Thunderwave <br/>-Burning Hands<br/>-Find Familiar</div><br/><br/>"

His family has provided the people of Theinn a wide variety of clothing. From the common folk, to well to do merchants, lords, ladies, and kings have all had clothes custom tailored by the Loomweaver family over the course of seven generations. His parents, Orin and Malia, still run the business as it has always been run. Hand made clothing. Pride of creation. Striving for the customers satisfaction in knowing they have received the best garments available.<br/><br/>Alistair's three sisters all continue to work in the weaver rooms, sewing shops, and store front. Mia is the oldest and runs the day to day operations. She was always more of a businessperson, than an actual weaver. She is however quite good with dyes, and has created many original fabric colors. Ailen is the next in the sibling line, and is an excellent seamstress. Raina is the youngest sister who can do a little of everything and looks upon her older brother as an idol. The two grew up very close and from the onset she was the only one who understood his need for wanderlust. The family considers him as a kind of black sheep. His father is quite overbearing and wants him to run the business. Instead he met a wizardess and apprenticed under her for a number of years to learn the secrets of magic. He doesn't speak much about his training but she was a practitioner of a long lost order of Carnal Wizards. Their greatest power comes from clairvoyance, and their clairvoyant rituals include acts of a sexual nature. While the bulk of the family has forgiven him for straying off the families path, his father still holds animosity for his wayward son.<br/><br/>Growing up with three sisters, Alistair learned alot about women, and would be considered by many to be a shrewd ladies man who never puts out effort to woo. He dresses nicely, acts politely, and grooms himself well. His accent is practiced with just the right amount of annunciation. Most anyone who is travelled will know he's from Theinn, and he will treat all but the most boorish as a long lost friend. Most who meet him are richer for the meeting, but his one failing is haggling. He will wheel and deal with any vendor, over any goods.<br/><br/>He writes his family while on the road, and usually sends his letters with the caravan. A scrolltube sealed with the family crest. When travelling in areas unfriendly to spellcasters, he claims to be a merchant trader to avert suspicions."

Eventually, Kristina got an internship at Yellowstone where she was able to work her way up to being a normal forest ranger.<br/><br/>Kristina comes from a normal middle class family. She's the middle sibling, with an older sister and a younger brother. Her family lives in northern California and Kristina is currently living in a small house near Yellowstone. Half the time though she sleeps at a ranger station in the park. She likes reading, playing video games, watching tv and movies, listening to music, camping, hunting, and hiking.<br/><br/>Before Kristina wound up here and became an elf, she was about the same height, but was a lot more chubby and her hair was a lighter shade of brown. She also wore glasses and had blue eyes that she prefers to her new reddish brown eyes. Kristina absolutely loves that she doesn't need glasses anymore and she thinks her new body is really hot. She's a little bit conflicted about the huge dick and balls on her new body though. It was something she sometimes fantasized about, but she's afraid about how other people are going react to it."

There's a few things that look a bit like the machines used to take pulses via finger, but with the nearby needles it's more likely that it will just vacuum up some blood. Couple of lancets too, probably enough for ten people per machine because the intakes is the bigger limitation than sharp things.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Although, after waiting a bit for the donor holdouts, the person appears. It's not through the rather excessive bulkhead looking doors, but from above with the sound of breaking glass, only none of the actual breaking glass  could be seen or heard. It's a bit hard to say that the person really showed themselves that much, because they're still in a full body covering biohazard suit. It's nice and white, and also keeps the face covered in dark plastic. But at least the person stands with the kind of posture you'd expect of somebody that did need to use the bathroom.<br/><br/>""I'm here. I'm waving. If this don't work, you're probably outta luck until my boss arrives."" Probably a male under there, from the voice.<br/><br/>The bulkheads do start to slowly open. ""Huh, here way sooner. Well, just do it before she notices that lack of samples.""<br/><br/>Once again, everyone sees something impossible, as the suited person exits before the bulkheads are actually open. One second running really fast straight at the layers, the next completely gone.<br/><br/>Actually, put another impossible on the list. Nobody's going to do pink-haired vampire cosplay and be somebody's boss at a hospital. Not with pink ring-curls. Not with a cape that has an unsubtle bat motif. ... Possibly with the skin-tight outfit that looks like you're going to ride horses for competition.

Moving down to her black thong and feel the texture of the stockings by tracing hand over her inner thighs.

Sadly his collection was mysterious stolen (not sure by whom) so he had not finished the series.<br/><br/>None the less he is experimenting and curious for Tenten's reaction, if undesired or painful or such, she could break free from the binding.

Couple wires wrapped on the magic wand and he sneakily carried the items around. As items floated silently he placed hand on her quickly working wrist and said; ""Not that fast Ten-chan, slower and more gentler squeezing please.""

Shadow clones definately can provide physical sensations and it's rather well known advanced technique from Konoha. Quite handy one at that. Once hearing the instructions he replied; ""Hey, I say two against one is not..."" But before he could finish, Tenten clones were up on him and fast!

So no concentration needed besides resist moving the fingers in his hand.<br/><br/>However, he cannot last long against this assault on him and he would cum lot sooner than Tenten who is enjoying her vibrations by herself....so in mist of haze of lust Jin-Ryu recalled something about shadow clones; they share sensations with original when they are dismissed. They are used besides trickery on scouting purposes after all. So seeing there was dozen spare egg vibrators left and storage scrolls in floor and has one hand free....he decides go bit multi-tasking. He kisses back on Tenten while remain otherwise still and rigid for let Tenten working on cock do her magic while his hand was behind his back, masking his fingers rapid movement as he conjures chakra threads from it, as other hand is already on limit how many he can hold and prefering not mix his hands and fingers on such complicated tasks just to one hand.

Using his strands he snatched couple items and dozens vibrators to one strand and then making his move.....the strand with egg vibrators moved to Tenten-clone which was sucking him, wrapping strand around clone's waist and then form a chain of egg vibrators trailing over her snatch and rear! Tightly coil and press vibrators against her clit, slit and area between her front and rear door and also against her rear! Of course pressing through the cloth and one wire to wrap around her breasts, squeeze them and pull them together and then both nipples coiled up to feel the vibration from the strings!<br/><br/>Other Tenten-clone got more intense sort intrusions as oiled up metal anal bead rod (https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/413FeT6L45L._SY355_.jpg) came to her rear, string pulling aside the panties and then firmly pressed the bead against her rear and started spiral and spin the rod to drill the beads into Tenten-clone!

But now once toys were in place on clones he started feel full impact of the dual assault on his body, his heart throbbing, cock throbbing more frequently and despite it got emptied earlier it will soon burst into Tenten-clone's mouth!

His breath and hers sealed through mouths while his nostrils flared and inhaled and exhaled as their lips were locked. His pulse rising and coiling pressure growing more and more urgent in need, in need to release. He starts a harsh rampart tempo, rapidly smacking into her body and shaking the bed with full pulsing throbbing vigor of young man sinked deep into passion, passions which he had never experienced before but eagerly running through it and exploring it. He no longer thought Tenten as Tenten, but simply as woman which was warm and welcoming and who urged him on, give her more, more and more.<br/><br/>Then on husky growl, muffled thanks by his lips locked on hers, he cums inside her. Warm creamy cum filling up to her passage with all energy and potency of a young man. But even so he continued on his thrusts, long as his quivering pulsing squirting cock remained hard, he moved. But bliss does slow down his tempo for sure and thrusts come more much calmer and slower phase as his mind swims through the ocean of bliss.

To point his work would be almost invisible to naked eye unless you know what to look for. Considering the clean cut and similarity of the cut, duplicating process was easy and he cut the wires once he finished each section.<br/><br/>Once done with both he handed panties over, as the twins turned around and slided panties back on. Even if main view was blocked, sight of their slender thighs and sight of panties slided back in did put his imagination to work....but not lingering long nor staring the twins. As Aimi declared her terms he nodded and and looked on Niwa, she gestured him go first and so he goes to the machine and see the char selection. There was lots of characthers and Jin-Ryu had no clue about this game nor char combos...so he decided his combatant purely on appearance. He picked combatant called<em>Susake</em>, he had a shinobi blade, cool dark leather clothes and two different colored eyes; one red and one purple and had long braided black hair. He confirmed his pick as he says to Airi; ""I probably get owned here as I haven't played this game before, just trying figure out this char fast."""

She sighed, ""All these characters are lame.

However he is also a crook and con artist, a criminal as he uses his inside knowlegde of stores electric security systems to do heists and robberies in them! Who perform the actual burglary stuff? His own son of course. He was small and could fit to air ducts and they did those robberies to make ends meet for bills and get life quality stuff bought for the family. Mother worked in start in medical company but after serious accident with chemical leakage she was hospitalized and her health was crippled to point she was incapable working in any physical capacity, so she became home mother and she was aware of her husband's activities but was silent about them.<br/><br/>However sooner than later his father was caught but they never associated his eldest son as part of his crimes, taking all blame on himself he was put on jail for several years....with no source of income nowhere the family's fortunes started to dwindle, so Jin-Ryu started life of crime; pick pockets, shoplifting and so on. He has two younger sisters who raised blissfully unaware of their big brother activities and thought all their birthday gifts he bought instead stealing from store. Mother was aware and tried several times persuade Jin-Ryu to stop or else he gets caught, but he ignored her and continued to do what was best for his family so far as he knew.<br/><br/>Then he came across a target which was much more than he could handle; a shinobi under a cover. He tried snitch his bag, succeeding to take it but without not being detected and he ran but he was caught. As shinobi who's cover was exposed thanks using hand seals and jutsu approached him with kunai targeting on his throat and he asked whom Jin-Ryu worked for, imagine he worked for criminal organization, another shinobi or other unsavory figure. Jin-Ryu denied any association and told what for he tried steal the beg and the expression in shinobi softened and then told he needs learn lot more if he wants to become good at what he is doing, as so far performance was impressive but sloppy some parts.<br/><br/>Then Jin-Ryu started work for the shinobi who worked under cover for several years between age of nine to fourteen. He learned how channel chakra and was told he had natural talent for to become a skilled shinobi, which is unusual amongst non-shinobi people. He became eyes, ears and deft hand and scout for the shinobi who worked under cover. As a sort spy who keeps eye on underworld and thanks Jin-Ryu's established reputation as street rat who snitches stuff he blends in. After acquiring important intel about growing dangerous criminal organization in region his shinobi mentor then wrote letter of recomendation for Jin-Ryu to be accepted, adopted, into one five great villages. His case village in question was <em>Kumogakure</em>. He was worried for his sisters and mother, but his work as undercover shinobi had earned quite great deal of wealth and so he distributed it with his family to help get them by and his mentor promised keep eye on for them. Overall he can much more find place amongst shinobi and earn more money to help support family than continue as he is now.<br/><br/>It was hard task to find village but he succeed, and on gates he presented letter and he was then put on detention cell for a month. His background was thoroughly checked, his mentor contacted and then his skills tested and examined as if he was born to village and measure his worth. He was deemed worthy and he was assigned to team which had operated sometime a man short, reason being their original teammate had died (on a accident) on a mission and there had been no suitable replacement for them amongst genin who would be similar age or experience. Jin-Ryu was assigned in and most mild manner can be said things turned to very awkward for him.<br/><br/>He was nobody for his teammate and to village folk, including elders. It is well known amongst jounin and chuunin his father is convicted criminal and his mentor had advertised that he had lived as a thief and thus has practical experience of being stealthy, sneaky and doing work for undercover shinobi. So overall his background gave him shady image (more so as he prefered wear a half-mask) and reputation to live by. So even if he was not shy but circumstances pushed him become more introvert team member; not socialize by choice as everyone casts suspicion of shadow over him and making somecases even outrageous claims or even accusations (like he is responsible someone's wallet went missing even when he was doing mission outside the village). Which increased with his lack to participate in village customs and whenever he came along with his team to spend time after mission....everyone whispered and stared the 'weird newcomer with shady past' and it made things difficult for him and his teammates, so he usually opted not spend after mission time with his teammates so they do not get trouble or avoided by other shinobi because of him.<br/><br/>So overall he has not quite settled in nor accepted in Kumogakure and because he comes from non-shinobi family most everyone look down on him and think he is nothing special. Even very much underestimate his skills and potentials and it includes some jounin also who view him as black sheep in the community and only accepted in because it paid of favor village elder owned to his mentor, nothing more. Not because he truly is skilled and has potential to become great shinobi. The two years had turned him observant, quiet man who sticks to shadows as shadows very least do not mock him or place accusations of him. Thanks of his shady nature and color of his eyes he is given nickname; <em>Foxeye</em>. As to some spelling Jin-Ryu is mouthful so they refer to him usually by this village given nickname. More so also to the fact he naturally has sharp gaze and eyes which can see in shadows, as since childhood his eyes were trained to see in low-light circumstances.<br/><br/>Jin-Ryu is used to it already and so he has accepted the nickname as part of his identity, at least it's not bad nickname and better than what some folks call him behind his back. Because of the constant pressure and discredit he had grown dedicated and hardworking genin, dedicated to his studies and grown sharp minded and skilled. However only ones who had seen this side is his teammates and his team's jounin instructor. He has not gained any praise from village nor recogniction, people praise his team members but not him, as they imagine they drag dead weight with them on missions when truth is different matter. Some folks could suspect he would had grown bitter but he has not, in truth he does not care about other's opinions much nor he has any grand ambittions like becoming kage of his village like most everyone dreams to be.<br/><br/>He has accepted he is odd person out, outsider. It's part of his identity and that what may worry much his jounin instructor who had seen that because lack of blood, familial or even camaradie to own village can lead him to become a missing nin or worse; a traitor if specific circumstances would push for it. It's event which has been speculated amongst chuunin and jounin and he is kept eye on.....and sadly his keen mind and observant abilities have noticed this and speculated as much for reason why he is kept eye on even when not on missions. But he endures and seems act he is not aware of the careful hidden side glances and gazes from shadows directed on his way. His own personal comfort comes from exchanging letters with his family and read how their doing, as missions and life as shinobi does not allow much personal free time enough for him to travel to his home city and see his family. Hoping in future he gets chance to see his family once more and he keeps sending whatever spare money he can from missions. Because nobody outside his team does not know this, folks assume he spends money on suspicious things and he does not share his reasons to others.<br/><br/>Chuunin exams became big announcement and coming event, he has heard about them but not participated in them. He himself thought it would be fine to skip it but both his teammates were thrilled and eager for it....and after bit talking with his instructor who told it allows him see other villages and new people, he was convinced to participate in exams also and thus his team was enlisted for exams.</div></div>"

Though you will split from these characters you entered Kirigakure with, they are sure to make an appearance later on.<br/>-The first stage, which is a written test.<br/>-The second stage,  which is put in a hunger games-style arena, requiring each team to acquire a scroll of Heaven and Earth each.<br/>-The third stage, which is straight up 1v1 fights in a small arena.<br/><br/>At any time between stages, at my whim, an intermediate stage may be sprung on the Genin if the Jounin feel they have too many competitors still in the running and will need to cut the group by half. It could be a 1v1 fight tournament, a race to the next stage (where only the first 50% of genin who arrive are permitted to continue) or something else entirely.<br/><br/>This means that if you focus solely on fighting, you'll only be good for a 1/4th of the game. Moreover, the first and second stage will involve a lot of socializing with other teams.<br/><br/>So my questions are...<br/><br/>What interactions are you looking for in the pre-exam and first and second stages? How do you anticipate your character will act and react to the situation and to the other PCs? What kind of characters/NPCs do you want to see?<br/><br/>Zaer already has an idea of some of the NPCs that could show up, though I'm reluctant to reuse them..."

So take look at Jirobou Inuzuka, a shinobi who was adopted to one five great villages and origin wise is amongst non-shinobi family. What comes to exams and their parts;<br/><br/><strong>Pre-exam:</strong>As mentioned in background my char has lots of undeserved stigma while in Kumogakure, while in another village where shinobi from other villages come attend they do not know who he is and thus he will gladly embrace the incognicto identity in this phase and socialize as he can with other shinobi (as this is prime reason why his jounin instructor convinced him to partake if he has own doubts about his own success or even success changing how his village would view him). So idea is that he gets lots associates and friends but somepoint some of the non-team Kumogakure gang/group could suddenly appear and publicly warn other shinobi not to trust him and spill beans about his origins (which means he was not born to Kumogakure and thus is outsider who had entered shinobi life and he comes from non-shinobi family and his father being criminal etc). I leave exact reactions of the NPC's or PC's who hear about it up on air. It may spread out to his new associates the suspicious attitude or be deflected away (or mean nothing in interaction wise and some could even grow curious about his life outside the village before he entered as most shinobi cannot imagine 'normal' life outside village customs and structure).<br/><br/><strong>First stage:</strong>In here my char could excel (has decent knowlegde modifier) if we follow that there is a catch in written tests; he could easily gather intel with his jutsu or his high social skills (sense motive and such) or other analyzing skills which he is good at.<br/><br/><strong>Second stage:</strong>In here when he is teamed with strangers he would be helpful as he can, he has versatile skill set as scout and can participate in combat and gather intel very well (and be stealthy about it).<br/><br/><strong>Third stage:</strong>This is probably point where he displays his surprising talents and tricks which he had learned and display he is not 'dead weight' to his team nor community. That he can fight and fight pretty darn well and display variety of techniques and such deal with his opponent who is likely more traditional backgrounded and is viewed come from 'great shinobi family' and display even if he was not born (nor have feat) genius, he is genius in his own hard working way."

I'm tempted to go up, and just say, perhaps... the 9th Hokage. The people that show up from the manga would be few and far between... but we can get really crazy with PCs and NPCs, since all the villages have had a chance to mix in together and long thought extinct clans (like the Kaguya or Uchiha) could come back.<br/><br/>Or, I might say that this is only 4 or 5 years after the events of the Boruto movie/manga and we could include adult versions of characters like Hanabi (Age 23-24), Sarutobi Mirai (20-21 ish), or Boruto/Sarada (Age 16-17) if they made Jounin at a super young age.

Eventually.-<br/><br/>Mitarashi Azuki is the one and only daughter of Konoha Tokubetsu Jounin Mitarashi Anko, born only a few short years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War. Nobody really knows WHO her father is to be perfectly honest, since in the aftermath of the war with hostilities between nations temporarily settling down, Anko got . . well . . bored. Bored Anko means a lot of lucky men (and women). Azuki has never been too miffed over not having a dad though, considering that if Anko had been less promiscuous she wouldn't actually EXIST. Azuki is every bit the brilliant girl that Anko was at her age, possibly even moreso, though there are some definate differences. While Anko was a master at shuriken jutsu, Azuki's brilliance is spread between the more chakra-based arts and knowledge in general. Azuki also can't taijutsu her way out of a paper bag, if we're being totally honest here.<br/><br/>These differences between Azuki and her mother lead her to . . being a bit conflicted. Azuki has grown up with having a mother who is more badass and sexy than basically anyone else in her village, only to slowly calm down and let herself go, losing both her skills and figure until she ended up being an academy teacher. The 'mature' Anko is distasteful to the girl, but the 'sexy' Anko of the past? Azuki practically WORSHIPS that Anko. She's taken the time to rip-off her hairstyle, her eye-catching fishnets, her sexy and outgoing personality . . despite the fact that all of these personality traits and looks don't quite 'fit' her.<br/><br/>Azuki is a giant actress, coming at life like she's putting on a show. She flirts, she taunts, she throws an arm around someone's shoulders and jokes around like your best friend. Deep down though, she has a rather sizable insecurity issue. Azuki is short, has few curves to speak of, and could be out-fought by anyone with even a passing knowledge of taijutsu. She can just never get over this feeling of not being 'good enough' especially when comparing herself to the stories (Practically legends) of her mother in her glory days, regardless of whether or not they're inaccurate."

As a result, Hiro ended up being quite talented... but also quite laid back and not very ambitious. His personal summon is the Monkey Princess Tara. She's around a lot and loves having fun like a proper hedonist. She makes Hiro look serious in comparison and... is probably a bad influence.<br/><strong>Aburame Kodoku:</strong>Always wanted to be more social, but never made many friends in the Academy.

Though she prefers to play music for its own sake, Kotone is a deadly assassin when the need arises. Though she is kind to her teammates and to others, Kotone has little remorse for delivering the killing blow to the man they once needed to take out.<br/><strong>Chikamatsu Matoko:</strong>A prodigy among puppeteers, combining old techniques with modern technology, wearing her puppets as suits. Most people have never seen her outside her large-sized mecha puppet but that isn't to say that she's a hermit. Matoko is quite social, but most people don't know how to handle her obsession with machines or they find themselves unable to compete with them for her attention.<br/><br/><strong>Tarui:</strong>(http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tarui) The bored Kunoichi. Although she does put effort into training her team and completing her missions, no one has ever said she was thrilled about it. These Chuunin exams are no different. The one thing that does always elicit a response from her is mentioning the team member that Jin-Ryu replaced.

She needs to feed off of other people and things just in order to survive. As a result, she's quite self-conscious about everything from her powers to her body.

Kitsage could related to foxes (<em>kitsune</em>) and to sage (<em>sage</em>). So perhaps future fox sage? Anyways his nickname<em>Foxeye</em>(he is actually called by this by his teammates and his village regular basis) came from specifically his odd colored eyes and his natural low-light vision. It could be part of his chakra training, mutation or distant far cry to shinobi ancestor from first shinobi war (or predate it). He definately comes from non-shinobi family as not his great grandparents were not shinobi (but then again if missing nin wants quit shinobi life entirely they could blend into society but even that would leave genetic foot print and my char lacks such foot print but then again such things can fade).<br/><br/>I leave it up to Lust decide is there something in there but for reason for pic was definately the cool eyes and took even two feats to enchance his vision abilities (low-light vision since 1st level and the Eyes of Divination). Anyways I know the Kaigan technique listed in techniques is a 12th level technique (for rank regs), but there could be some lower level techniques which he could discover during the exam as his 'gift' would start manifest. The technique itself is kinjutsu (forbidden) and likely lost as hidden cloud stopped it's development and technique likely sealed at one the vaults.<br/><br/>So, I wonder as there is single technique, why feat lists<em>techniques</em>? It clearly hints developer may had thought make more Kaigan techniques (more so thanks low requirements) so I imagine the first technique could be discovered during chuunin exam. But do what? No idea, but it was series of techniques meant to counter both Byakugan and Sharingan and I suspect it can only developed or awakened only encounter either of those doujutsus. The 12th level one is likely pinnacle of the development but I think there is room for techniques which are less extreme but can be useful (like technique which allows resist genjutsu better or able to detect the invisible chakra extension from Byakugan user and use own body chakra to redirect hostile chakra flow away from tenketsu point, sort increase AC to determine did tenketsu harming strike hit right spot or not).<br/><br/>Or that Kaigan is known for being counter for Byakugan and Sharingan, but it originally did not achieve it until after long research and one encounter where kinjutsu was used against the famed doujutsu bloodline (likely in war conflict). What if Kaigan and name of the feat; Eyes of Divination, is more literal? What if instead just seeing few seconds to future the those who achieve high enough perception ability and have natural gift sort 'foresee' things thanks high social awareness (thanks sense motive reqs), it means Kaigan started as actual divinationary technique sharpened and harnessed during the war and it went to too far (starting produce insanity on user as they breached veil of cloudy visions about future by reading chakra of the world and people around them).<br/><br/>As wisdom loss comes from acquiring too much information all too fast or in manner what people should not do (if they value sanity). Imagine someone see all possible outcomes of someone's life; like someone see example Kakashi's life; one in canon one, one as villain, one where he did suicide at youth, happy youth but sad adulthood one, life where Kakashi never lost his father etc. To see and sort experience all those emotions and paths all at once takes toll on someone. So Kaigan techniques (before reaching the Byakugan and Sharingan counters), are foresight related techniques.<br/><br/>Anyways like my own teammates, interesting :)."

Such insight in itself is broken; if we would go anime standards, a guy who can perfectly predict few seconds in future cannot be hit, knows always what your going to do in fight and counter it perfectly and is able land perfect hits all the time.

So knowing the disguises or direct deception is not his strong suit, so I played Jin-Ryu just using his own suspicious presence as a bait itself than trying hide who he is.<br/><br/>Example of this could be example from Naruto in his youth; he comes out from hiding, shouting and making a noise to draw foe's attention on himself. Not because he attempts to try deceive his foe to pay attention to him but because he is a moron.

So visit Tenten again (just finish up day 2 scene with Tenten and we can start on day 3 on Tenten after Jin-Ryu has finished day 3 exercise for hell stab)."

Except I don't want to turn IC 2 into a big clog of multiple scenes going on involving many of the same characters.

Weird.<br/>9:25 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Yeah, he would know enough to figure out that two of the questions pertain to his village specifically.<br/>9:26 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>And of course you'll have people like Nara Naomi with huge intelligence scores.. out of 300+ genin, statistically 15 of them got a natural 20 on at least one question. :P<br/>9:26 PM Latooni<br/>I think I'm gonna roll up a bunch of answers first to see what she'd know for sure, not know for sure, and be torn on then figure out cheating. I really want her to hear what questions other people ask the nearby proctor before she starts doing anything tricksy. :x<br/>9:26 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Or rather, each question has had 15+ genin answer it correctly.<br/>9:26 PM Shade<br/>Because, I figure rolling on the ones where you'd need a 18-20 and a 6-4 on an action point to succeed is both a waste and stupid.<br/>9:27 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Yep. No need to spend an action point on a DC 30 when there's DC 15s and 20s and such that could just as easily get you the answers..<br/>9:27 PM Shade<br/>But rolling with a +16 turns that into an 8-13 with an action point~ that's less hopeless.<br/>9:27 PM Latooni<br/>Do I even need to roll on the Uzumaki question, considering Azuki's stalking Himawari? &gt;.&gt;<br/>9:28 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Ehhhh, which one is that?

With proctors answering questions only yes-or-no and with a limited number of them.. :P<br/>20 mins ago Latooni<br/>The first chunk of the written exam is plenty of time to just eavesdrop, and try to figure out who is a smartypants and who isn't based on questions asked and NOT asked. :3<br/>20 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Actually, maybe Sarada WILL answer his second question... If proctors can answer questions about the test material itself, but only yes-and-no.. there will a premium on proctor attention.

God knows she'd be right on assuming Azuki wouldn't go lethal against Himawari's team &gt;.&gt;<br/>17 mins ago Shade<br/>And then, tragically, she's ran through by one of her fellow Konoha Genin in the second round.<br/>17 mins ago Latooni<br/>Goddamnit Kabuto<br/>16 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Not entirely implausible. :P<br/>16 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Or does the running through!<br/>16 mins ago Latooni<br/>BUt yeah, as long as she keeps one hand on her paper she can feel relatively safe in that it won't be nabbed, and leaves her one hand to rub a little blood on the bottom of the desk and activate a small Sennei Jashuu snake summoning. She has options for the 10 mins and onwards part of the test.<br/>14 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Time is a factor, but pretty much only for NPCs. :P Unless, I guess, you decide to do something REALLY time consuming like brute force your answers by asking proctors about every single question...<br/>14 mins ago Shade<br/>Well, with yes or no answers, anyone with a pulse would stop after their first or second question<br/>14 mins ago Shade<br/>I'm sorry, a pulse above the shoulders.<br/>14 mins ago Latooni<br/>Azuki needs to figure out what her team is doing, and eavesdrop for a bit, before she can really act. *Shrug*<br/>13 mins ago Shade<br/>Yuki...needs me to think of a good idea.<br/>13 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>I could imagine some will try throwing out Kanji at random for #6 until they get the right idea..<br/>12 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Hmmm.<br/>12 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Does Yuki know Himawari? :o<br/>12 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>They are distantly related, but how distant?<br/>10 mins ago Shade<br/>Uh, he'd be a cousin at most.  I don't remember if I ever said if he was born to the main family or branch family, since the idea of those two things kind of lost meaning aside from ensuring you don't breed too closely<br/>9 mins ago Shade<br/>HIs mother could have been older, for example...<br/>9 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>That was a question for Shade, but I think it's more relevant to Latooni. :o<br/>7 mins ago Latooni<br/>Azuki has no idea about Yuki. As far as she's concerned, the only people important around her target are Himawari's immediate family, team, and close friends. Probably wouldn't have heard anything about Yuki<br/>7 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Yep.

So perhaps Jin-Ryu suggests IC that each one focus on question which they feel they could get answer to in taking 20 on it (Jin-Ryu can take any question as he has +13 on ninja lore during exams and gets +10 on anything related to his village, but besides one relating the kanji tattoos none other questions were related to his village I think).<br/><br/>Edit; or alternatively Jin-Ryu's new teammates could roll aid another rolls and if both succeed, then Jin-Ryu could get additional +4 bonus and then he could answer the questions with +17 modifier and thus have decent chance get them remaining ones right."

With 300+ participants... it's statistically guaranteed that at least 15 of them get a natural 20 on every question. So no matter how low the students' actual knowledge is... SOME of them know the questions right out. Of course, you have plenty of genin who put actual ranks into Knowledge so that number is a lot higher than 15. Then you have students sharing answers with their team mates, raising that number further.<br/><br/>The answers are in the room and you could get them without rolling a single skill check.<br/><br/>At the same time, the test gets more difficult as more students succeed. A perfect score of 100% ensures that you'll pass... but it also means that you make the test more difficult for your fellow villagers on different teams. People who violate the rules, like the girl that screamed at Azuki's snake, lose a point on their score that they can never get back. Rules are also created on the fly... actually, that gives me something to post real quick.."

Hyuuga Hanabi said as the teams from Konoha entered underneath a large arch that acted as a precipice to the ancient village hidden in the mist. They entered Kirigakure before a scenic overlook. Decades ago, no one would ever be able to see the village before them, obscured as it was by mist. Now, cylindrical towers rose up into the sky through the fog. It was hardly a village anymore, more like a city now. Next to Azuki, Inuzuka Teru triumphantly planted her hands on her hips and looked over the town before them, ""Finally!"" She happily chirped before kneeling down and petting her oversized dog, Shiromaru. Aburame Kodoku scratched his cheek, fumbling with his own fingers under his hoodie.<br/><br/>""And a week early too."" Hanabi said, looking at Azuki with a smile. The Jounin had long brown hair with two bangs framing her cheeks and a long lock draped down across her nose, a tan short-sleeved jacket, zipped open over a kind of corset and fishnet top. Below her waist, she simply wore long black pants and ninja sandals, ""Plenty of time to meet new and exciting people from all over the world, isn't it?""<br/><br/>Teru was a young woman, taller than Azuki, wearing a skirt, a sleeveless top, fur boots, and a cute beanie with ear flaps and tassels that obscured her short auburn hair. Just beneath the edge of her skirt, she wore a shuriken holster. Beside her was a tan and white dog that stood at her hip, with dark markings around his eyes that almost looked like a mask. Teru herself had a wild look to her, with her clan's customary fang-shaped markings on her cheeks.<br/><br/>Kodoku perpetually wore sunglasses in his black hair, a tan hoodie unzipped halfway to his chest (and nothing beneath but his bare skin, owing to his unique method of fighting...) and long black pants with customary ninja sandals. He was cute in a clueless, innocent way, being the only member of his clan to openly show his eyes in public. They were bright green, often in an expression of concern and self-consciousness. Azuki knew why- touching someone with his bare skin would subject them to deadly nano-sized insects.<br/><br/><strong>South Gate</strong><br/><br/>""Phew."" Kotone leaned against the wall as the shinobi from the Sand entered Kirigakure, ""Finally... we're here."" She huffed, shaking her head. Their Jounin Maki smiled and put her shoulder on the musician's shoulder, ""Well, now that we're here that means we can take a break.""<br/><br/>Kotone certainly needed it... Matoko, on the other hand, wasn't bothered at all. In fact, the puppeteer didn't walk on her own two feet at all- instead using her suit to get around.<br/><br/>Matoko sat on a seat like a bicycle in front of the puppet's own thick legs while her chest and head were obscured by the puppet's armor plating, leaving only her stomach and dangling legs exposed. She wore a smooth skintight suit that ended at her thighs, exposing much of her legs up until her ninja sandals. The puppet itself was tan and brown and most strangely, its 'arms' were pointed backwards. ""Wuh? We're here?"" The puppeteer's muffled voice called out from within the machine. The small dome-shaped camera mounted on top of the puppet swiveled around and then settled on Kotone and Maki, ""Oh, I was on auto-pilot...""<br/><br/>Maki looked at her student with a sigh. She had bright blue eyes, wore a Sunagakure headband with her short brown hair. On each of her cheeks, she had purple fang-like markings. She wore a sleeveless shirt and elbow-length fingerless gloves. Attached to her belt on the small of her back, Maki wore a thick roll of fabric. Her leggings were tight and form-fitting.<br/><br/>Kotone had long black hair under a turban, reddish-brown eyes, and wore a light tan dress, with a strap across her chest that held her large miniature Koto (which has still nearly as long as she was tall) wrapped against her back. She wore stockings, part fishnet and part black sheer down to her sandaled feet. Like her teacher, she wore long dress gloves.<br/><br/><strong>West Gate</strong><br/><br/>""Yahoo!"" Kay sped off ahead, much to their Jounin Tarui's displeasure, ""Wait. Wait... Wait!""<br/><br/>The half-sized kunoichi sighed exaggeratedly and turned back to look at her companions, ""Am I the only one whose excited about this?""<br/><br/>Tarui brushed her long blonde hair out of her eyes and shrugged, ""Meh."" As they entered the village hidden in the mist proper. Beside her, Kurai stretched her lips wide and bobbed her head, ""<em>I'm</em>excited."" She said with a flat tone, ""I've never been to the Hidden Mist before.""<br/><br/>Kay was dark-skinned with black hair in a bun on top of her head and bangs down to her cheeks. She was wearing a gray tank top that exposed her midriff over another fishnet top that likewise left her stomach bare, but extended down to her biceps. Two long red tassels hung from the back of her top. She wore white shorts with a shuriken holster strapped to her thighs and ninja sandals.<br/><br/>Tarui wore the white ninja vest of Kumogakure, with one arm wrapped in bandages and the other obscured in a long sleeve. She was darkly complected, with long blonde hair out from her bandana that extended down to her waist in front and down to her ankles behind her. Otherwise she wore the standard attire of a Cloud Jounin.<br/><br/>Kurai had glasses and a tight ponytail tying back her silver hair. She was fair of skin and modestly dressed somewhere between a kunoichi and a business woman, with a skirt and dress suit exposing a bit of cleavage. Or it would if she wasn't wearing a full-body suit beneath, from her neck to her ankles, with her feet covered in ninja sandals. Around her waist was a thick belt and an apron, with various ninja tools available at a moment's notice.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">OOC</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">As of your next post, I need an action that will compose your activity in the following day.

She didn't strike the most intimidating pose, being far and away the smallest of the group. Standing at least a head shorter than not only her teammates, but her ENTIRE BLOODY GRADUATING CLASS, Azuki was . . well . . pretty. That really was the first thing to jump out at people. A petite, lightly muscled frame with slight curves, wrapped from ankle to neck in shinobi-grade mesh, though the mesh didn't reach past her elbows. Her modesty was protected (sort-of) by practically painted on short shorts, and a tactical vest with an inner lining enhanced with low-grade reinforcement fuuinjutsu. She kept a holster on each hip, as well as a large one horizontally at the small of her back, and a belt around her waist with all manner of tricky items and survival gear. The girl's Konoha hitae-ate was hanging loose around her neck much like her sensei's, and her purple hair was currently loose in flowing waves clear down to her bottom. The usual open-toed shinobi sandals rounded out her outfit, a fairly old-fashioned style to be perfectly honest, but one the pretty girl pulled off well.<br/><br/>She giggled at Teru's usual exhuberance, before moving up to point oh-so-dramatically towards the city.<strong>""Our destination is ahead, and our goal? Absolute victory! . . . Or something like that.""</strong>She broke off with a shrug, her words going from dramatic and confident to a lazy drawl. Rolling her head to the side, she locked her eyes on Hanabi and continued.<strong>""Got any standing orders for us, Hana-sensei? I'm thinkin' it might be a good idea for me to wander around and get me a date or three. See what the locals know about the area, maybe chat up any competitors I run into. Can't bloody well start makin' good plans if we're info-poor, yeah? Who knows, maybe I'll find a nice boyfriend candidate for YOU while I'm out there.""</strong>She giggled, making sure to take a couple of LARGE steps out of backhand distance from the older Hyuuga.<br/><br/>Azuki was a very .  . . odd girl. A child genius that dealt with early bullying issues by becoming a consummate actress, and manipulating people into both respecting and loving her. Which, of course, lead to a whole HELL of a lot of other issues once she realized that her friends ended up being friends with a 'fake' girl . . . but hey, we're past that stuff now. Mostly. Now she still had a habit of slipping into roles to suit the situation, but the rest of her team knew her as a surprisingly emotional, somewhat lazy, tease. Still, she was the 'brains' of the operation, capable of startling leaps of logic and complex plans when suitably motivated.<br/><br/><strong>""Hehe . . .

""We're staying at a hotel cliff-side."" The Jounin declared, brushing the hair out of her face, ""We can check in and get our bearings there. We've got a week before the exams start.""<br/><br/>Kay shrugged and dragged her feet with lamentation behind Jin-Ryu and the rest of the group.<br/><br/>They retired for a night in a quaint little hotel overlooking a canal. Tarui slept in, as she was wont to do. Kay woke up long before Jin-Ryu, no doubt sprinting around the town to stretch her legs out. Kurai also woke up early, as she tended to do. She decided to go outside the village to get something to eat. Jin-Ryu knew that could mean only one thing for a Chakra Vampire...<br/><br/>Jin-Ryu set out for downtown Kirigakure, stopping by the tourist traps, the tea shops, the various fronts for ninja families hiding in plain sight. He heard some interesting rumors, but at the same time also felt himself being observed... A lot of people were talking about the apparent return of the Kaguya clan. After the Great War, the Mizuniwa clan in Kirigakure reclaimed the enemy's DNA research and managed to recreate the Shikotsu Myaku in one little girl. Such experiments were illegal, but the Sixth Mizukage only learned of it when the Mizuniwa clan was wiped out by none other than Kaguya Heikamaro and the clan's 'princess', Himiko. Now the deadly pair were competing in the Chūnin exams but on separate teams.<br/><br/>The other lead he picked up on was the arrival a few days prior of a... problematic kunoichi from Iwagakure named Gorugan. Apparently she had a habit of turning to stone people that got on her nerves... all with just a sharp look from her charcoal black eyes and slit crimson pupils. Thankfully, the damage wasn't permanent... so long as a skilled Earth Elementalist was around. She was here with another troublesome kunoichi by the name of Bakumi, one who seemed quite fond of 'explosions' as a medium of art. Their third team member was also apparently a giant of a man, some eight feet tall.<br/><br/>Then there was the team from Tanigakure which included a young woman with red eyes and an enormity of responsibility on her shoulders. Her particular bloodline limit was said to have only came around once in a hundred years, imbuing her body with phenomenal power... but at the same time, this Mibu Niwa hadn't actually spent a lot of time<em>outside</em>Tanigakure. In fact, she was heard lamenting at length about how the village didn't even<em>want</em>her attending these exams.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Pick one lead to pursue.<br/><br/>While gathering information, Jin Ryu let slip a moderate amount of information about himself.</div></div><br/><br/><strong>Yuki</strong><br/><br/>""Exploring?"" Matoko's voice repeated from within her mechanized puppet, ""Sounds<em>boring.</em>"" If it wasn't electronic or mechanical, Matoko didn't care for it. Kirigakure was known for being a bit... old-fashioned in that regard.<br/><br/>Kotone instinctively brought her hand up to her chin thoughtfully, ""I... could go with you, Yuki-kun."" She was still leaning against the wall. Maki lifted her eyebrow, ""You sure about that, Kotone?""<br/><br/>""Mmmhm!""<br/><br/>""Well, first thing's first."" Maki said with a huff, ""I don't know about you, but I've never felt at ease until I know where I'm going to sleep.""<br/><br/>Thus they quickly found their way to the hotel and checked in. Kotone went to sleep early- she'd need all the energy she could muster for the next day's journey. Yuki and Kotone set out early in the morning, leaving out the same way they came in.<br/><br/>They explored together for a few hours before coming across a crocodile basking in the mid-day sun. Kirigakure's climate was warm, even tropical, and the mist and murky water seemed to favor all kinds of predators like that. Yuki and Kotone carefully avoided it, side-stepping the crocodile's hunting grounds altogether.<br/><br/>After a little while, they found something rather strange... There were patches of dead bark on some of the trees, barely larger than their hands. They had seen a few along this path, mostly on the larger trees they passed. More seemed to be up there further along the trail. Yuki and Kotone could follow it, if they wanted.<br/><br/>In the opposite direction, there was a distant crack and and a rumble through the air. They could see birds flying out from the treeline in the distance. It could have been a tree falling... or another person.<br/><br/>Kotone, meanwhile, was resting on a boulder as Yuki investigated the two leads. She smiled cheerfully, brushing the hair out of her eyes. Yuki knew she must have been getting tired but that she also wouldn't ever be caught complaining. They could probably keep going on and she'd be fine, but at the same time she was also lugging around that giant instrument all day...<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Pick a lead to pursue... also, Yuki will get a +2 circumstance bonus to Outdoorsmanship checks during the Exam and to skill checks vs. Animals or Magical Beasts.<br/><br/>He spots a crocodile 30 feet away but it botches its Perception with a natural 1.

She scoffed, ""I'm sure there's shortage of ninja here who'll want to trim the competition before the exams even start... and I don't need any help!""<br/><br/>She scrunched her lips together and looked away from Azuki.<br/><br/>""A d-date?"" Kodoku asked, quirking his head at Azuki, ""These guys are gonna be our rivals...""<br/><br/>""Our enemies!"" Teru chimed in with a sharp-toothed grin. Shiromaru barked in aggreement.<br/><br/>At the end of the day, the rest of Azuki's team decided to retire early. Teru still had plenty of energy, but Shiromaru seemed content to do his own thing. She disappeared at around the same time Azuki decided to hit the town. By the time she came back to the hotel, she'd gotten three decent leads on the other genin that she might be facing.<br/><br/>A strange puppeteer from Sunagakure walked into town in what could only be described as a vaguely humanoid walking tank. She was supposedly a prodigy of the art and no one had ever seen her face underneath her various suits. Chikamatsu Matoko loved to tinker with all kinds of machines and electronics. She arrived in Kirigakure with the exiled Hyuuga that lived in Sunagakure and a talented musician with a Koto on her back.<br/><br/>There seemed to be a lot of talk about princesses, though information about the 'Sand Sisters' wasn't forthcoming, a lot of the locals were talking about Kirigakure's very own Hozuki Kasumi and Mizuniwa Himiko. The former was a peerless swimmer, a fish in the water as many said and an heir to one of the most prominent clans in Kirigakure. Himiko, on the other hand, was apparently responsible for wiping out her own clan as a young girl. She had some help... from another young girl, Kaguya Heikamaro. Rumor had it she was a bit too bloodthirsty for most people's comfort. The two had a third team member, a young man of the Imagawa clan that had a seemingly inexhaustible supply of chakra.<br/><br/>Others talked about the giant from Iwagakure who came in with the snake-eyed woman and the pyromaniac. His name was Haitsuchi and apparently startled some children on his way in, much to his dismay. He even fell behind his teammates when he stopped to help an old woman with her groceries... He was supposedly the counterbalance to his teammates' particular... enthusiasm for turning people into stone or blowing them up.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">While gathering information, Azuki let no information slip about herself.</div></div>"

Teru was still gone, but that wasn't so unusual. As they talked over Azuki's leads, Hanabi dressed down out of her vest while Kodoku remained at a safe distance from everyone else. ""The... the big guy?"" His mouth widened and he lowered his chin into collar sheepishly, ""I dunno about any of these other teams. Maybe we'd be safest sticking with the other leaf ninja.""<br/><br/>""The others should get here soon."" Hanabi said, removing one of her sandals and placing it by the bed, ""Mirai said she was probably going to arrive tomorrow or the day after...""<br/><br/>Neither of them were a whole lot of help... The following day, Azuki left in pursuit of the so-called gentle giant. He shouldn't have been hard to find. Apparently the hotel that they were staying at had some problems lodging him; the rooms too short, the beds too small. Haitsuchi apparently spent a lot of time away from his teammates. It probably didn't help that they had a reputation, from what Azuki could gather, for violence.<br/><br/>It wasn't long before she followed a lead and spotted him in a crowd at the boardwalk on the edge of town. He was indeed... tall. At least eight feet tall, deeply tanned with black hair, its tips dipped in red, the red forehead protector of Iwagakure, and a pale green vest over a sleeveless shirt that exposed his thick arms (his biceps alone might have been as wide as Azuki's hips) with a cloth wrapping around his waist that trailed behind him and simple black pants and sandals.<br/><br/><strong>Yuki</strong><br/><br/>""Oh, okay.""

Suddenly a girl's voice came from the trees, sharp and tomboyish, ""Most people run<em>away</em>from the explosions.""<br/><br/>She was directly above him, her legs dangling playfully from the branch she made herself comfortable on. She had wild spikey brown hair, a red Iwagakure headband, a red and gold-trimmed cloak and a brick-patterned red skirt. One arm was bare, the other covered in a long sleeve.

While she<em>did</em>come here with a team of her own, nobody seemed to think they were people of any import. In fact, they appeared to be picked by the village exclusively to make sure she was well taken care of. Their Jounin as well was a member of the Mibu clan, but their manifestation of the Red Eyes was apparently quite limited in comparison. Jin-Ryu's search took him to a small restaurant specializing in sea food.<br/><br/>Indeed, he found the first of the Tanigakure ninja, judging by their headband. An ordinary girl, with long brown hair, tight pants and a halter top. The other valley ninja, a man with a ponytail wearing a sleeveless shirt and armored trousers with heavy boots, came in after her. They were talking to eachother, visibly consternated at something... when all of the sudden, a girl appeared in the opposite seat of the booth of Jin-Ryu.<br/><br/>She had pale blonde hair with long bangs that framed her face, but the back part was elaborately braided. Unwound, it might have extended all the way down to her back. Her eyes, of course, were completely red with just a faint glow of white where her pupils ought to have been. ""You've been asking around about me, huh? They told me to look out for the fox-eyed ninja from Kumo..."" She said, looking towards her comrades.<br/><br/>Her clothes were kind of old fashioned, a sleeveless kimono over a fishnet short sleeved shirt. At least that's what he could tell from above the table, ""They won't leave me alone..."""

She didn't bother to try and disguise herself, knowing that trying to pretend she WASN'T a genin would probably mean she had far less options. Also, that'd be bloody boring. When she finally found Haitsuchi she actually stopped and blinked owlishly, now standing in front of the young man and eyeing him from feet to head. He could definately pull off the intimidating thing without even trying, just by the sheer size of him!<br/><br/><strong>""You . . . are very tall. I think if I made a bunshin and had it stand on my shoulders, I still wouldn't be as tall as you! . . .

There was a difference between looking at a big guy from far away, and walking up to one and seeing him up close and personal. Still, she figured friendly chatting was a better option than being a tricky bitch for the time being."

In the past, most Kirigakure Chuunin exams were short and bloody. The village maintained a high standard, and the numbers never grew or shrank. Just as there were always Seven Swordsman, there were only a few thousand Chuunin and a thousand Jounin. The way you got promoted is those days was by killing someone who had that rank. Ever since the Fifth Mizukage, that had to change.<br/><br/>Jin-Ryu had picked up a lot from word of mouth and a little time spent combing through records and documents on the internet. The exam would be split into three stages, modeled off of the Konoha Chuunin exams. The first was a written exam, and they all tended to follow a certain theme. Last year, it was integrity... the genin were tempted to cheat but in reality, all of those temptations were traps. The year previous, it was cohesion. The questions were tailored for each individual, asking about their team mates' lives and history. Judging by the data they were collecting and the selection of the proctors, if Jin-Ryu had to guess... he'd wager the theme of this exam was 'international cooperation'.<br/><br/>The second stage would be a test of the competitors' practical mission-oriented abilities. Judging by the way Kirigakure was prepping one particular site in particular, it looked like the area would be an enclosed circle, twenty kilometers wide, around the fork of a river not far from the village. The river itself was a kilometer wide at its base, and sprawled out into dozen smaller tributaries. Some parts were completely submerged in swamp lands, and others perpetually misty. Furthermore, ruins of an ancient pre-shinobi civilization were scattered throughout. Other parts were thick rainforests... It gave the Kirigakure shinobi an exceptional home field advantage.<br/><br/>The third stage, predictably, was going to be a tournament- of which there could be only one victor.<br/><br/>Azuki had learned of the three stages, the general theme of the whole exam, but even with all her charm- not too many people were willing to tell her about the second stage. She tried to pull information out of them about where it might take place, but had no luck.<br/><br/>Yuki, unfortunately, had quite a bit of trouble in the library. There weren't any books about past Chuunin exams, and looking through historical documents that mentioned it in passing had gotten frustrating.<br/><br/>All three of them, however, did find information on the proctors. It wasn't hard... if they didn't come here as Jounin sponsoring their students, then they must have been here for another purpose. It was indeed an international effort, from what they could tell.<br/><br/>Jin-Ryu had learned of two proctors, Ruka of Kirigakure, who was proctoring and also providing emergency medical services during the second stage. She was a Jounin of her own team, but they were too young to take the exams. Even so, one of the kids had accidentally told Jin-Ryu that she was spending the afternoon at the clinic organizing materials and supplies needed for the second stage. By the sound of it, she needed some help. The other was Tenten of Konoha, a weapons expert. She would be proctoring the third stage and as such didn't have a whole lot to do. Apparently she owned a weapons shop back in the leaf, and spent pretty much all of her money on rare and exotic weaponry in Kirigakure, trying to get one of the seven swords. Unfortunately, it seems like she spent more than her wallet could handle...<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Yuki had learned that the famed Sarada Uchiha would be helping to proctor the first stage of the exam. Despite her young age, she was still a Jounin. Rumor had it she took her duties very seriously, and was working with the other proctors to write the questions as tough as possible. This led to some conflict with the others, many of whom groaned openly about the young woman's... enthusiasm. She was spending her time training herself in a park on the fringe of the village. The other was Samui of Kumogakure, who was proctoring the third stage. Said to be perpetually cool, even cold, she was uncharacteristically anxious. There wasn't much for her to<em>do</em>at this point, considering that they only needed her as a judge for the tournament. He spotted her leaving her hotel in sandals and a bathing suit under a unbuttoned shirt, carrying an umbrella and a bag. Apparently Samui was headed to the beach to work on her tan.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Azuki picked up rumors about an Amegakure proctor, Fuyō, that would be a proctor for the second stage. A skilled sensor, she would be responsible for monitoring the situation during the second stage. Since most of the work setting up the network had been done, she was enjoying herself in the hot springs. One of the other Amegakure ninja said she grew up back when it always rained in that village, so she probably missed the moisture. Kirigakure's famous 'Tranquil Mists' spring was so thick with fog that you couldn't see your hand if you extended it out all the way. The other proctor was Kiri, from... Kirigakure. He would be evaluating the written portion of the exams and was said to be too soft. Or at least, that's what Sarada Uchiha said. Though the young Jounin came with the rest of the Konoha delegation, she didn't bring any genin with her. In one of her talks with Mira, she singled out Kiri in particular as being too 'easy' with the questions. At least, according to Mirai, he was easy on the eyes... not that Sarada cared much about that.<br/><br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">OOC</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Jin-Ryu gains a +4 bonus on Knowledge checks for the first stage of the exam.<br/>Azuki gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge checks for the first stage of the exam.<br/>Poor Yuki</div></div>"

She pulled up an oversized octopus, of all things, from the line. ""Aagh!""

""I prefer the cool weather of Kumo... but I've got nothing to do for a month."" She tossed her head to the other side.<br/><br/>The older woman reached under her body, holding her bikini against her skin as she rolled over. Azuki slid off of her to the side, as Samui was a woman of surprising strength considering her position underneath the younger Kunoichi. ""You know it'd be a conflict of interest for a proctor like myself to be seen hanging around with a genin.""<br/><br/>""So why don't you drop out?"" Samui blinked, not even offering a smile.

Jin-Ryu did not word outloud that Tenten would give details of the exams what proctors would have, but he leaves up to her own desperation to guide her and also limit her how much she would reveal. This approaches close to bribing a proctor in exams after all. But then again Jin-Ryu does not remember any rules forbidding it but other proctors may declare it cheating (or not, as chuunin exams tests shinobi abilities and bribing shinobi for intel is a shinobi art on itself).<br/><br/>With this thought in mind Jin-Ryu continues after brief pause; ""It's after all not forbidden officially in chuunin exams for exam attendants having inside information about the exams. I base this on after spending time in library reading the past exams and their rules over and over again.

When Yuki saw her in the morning, she was sitting outside her puppet in the girl's room, working on some upgrades.

She flattened her hand, forming a blade of electric energy, ""By focusing your chakra to a sharper point... you increase the intensity and penetrative powers of the technique, called Hell stab.""<br/><br/>She focused for a bit and then shook her hand, appearing to indicate the technique was even painful. Indeed, her dark skin had a few cracks and burn marks on it, ""Four fingers is pretty potent. Three moreso, and one finger is the pinnacle of the technique, able to penetrate any defense.""<br/><br/>""I can start to teach you the basics of it now, if you want.""

Makoto's voice reverberated from within her machine, ""Very well! It'll be a good exercise for both of us, uh huh!""<br/><br/>Her giant puppet took a few steps back, the girl's thin legs swaying all the way. Then it hunched low, and the mounts in its side popped out, revealing two cannons in addition to the pile bunker pistons that she used to 'punch' her unfortunate opponents... a group which Yuki now found himself a part of, if only temporarily.<br/><br/>""It's a package called Enhanced Machinery, Mark III."" She said with some pride in her voice, ""By channeling a little chakra, I can enhance Kuma-kun's already improved servos. It should be stronger and faster than normal.""<br/><br/>""...Ready?"" She cooed, funneling chakra into the machine. After a moment's hesitation, it barreled towards Yuki. It<em>was</em>faster, stopping a few paces shy of the young man and planting one of its oversized legs into the sand. It slid on the ground and whirled about, bringing its pile bunker to bear.<br/><br/>Yuki dodged low under the first one. The puppet then pivoted, giving him the other side, but he weaved out of the way. With the second piston firing harmlessly beside Yuki, the first finished retracting. It turned again, but Yuki backed off and the pile bunker only hit the air in front of his stomach. Two more times she advanced upon him, and two more times he dodged it.<br/><br/>The sixth time hurt, though. Nothing quite like a steel rod being jammed into your arm to send jitters all the way up to his shoulder. Thankfully it didn't do too much damage as to throw him off, since he continued to evade the onslaught Makoto was unleashing upon him in Kuma. It was only the last one that connected, nailing him in the shoulder.<br/><br/>But... the piston did not retract, and the puppet remained standing there inert. In fact, it seemed to slouch a bit. A few seconds later and it hobbled back to life, ""Ah, well. It certainly<em>feels</em>faster... but I wonder if the chakra drain is worth it. How's it hit?

She was in a navy blue striped bikini, was pretty busty, and<em>quite</em>lean. Her abs were quite defined and her shoulders broad and thick with muscle.

But he followed Kay none the less to the street and once there he kept up with her while rubbing his pained fingers, feeling the elbow hit on his thigh and hearing her words he replied; ""There is entire city of genin from her to feed on, no doubt lots gullible types which she can trick into skin contact so she does not need my chakra to feed while here.""<br/><br/>He did know what Kay was hinting at but he purposefully dodged the issue, he knows when Kurai feeds from him there is erotic element and she uses similar erotic techniques both regular and on mission feeding from other shinobi. It had taken quite bit from Jin-Ryu to get used to it when Kurai fed from him. But he he thinks it's just that; feeding on her and thinks besides appearance there is nothing more in there.....or is there? It's not that he does not find Kurai attractive but they sort skipped entirely courting and dating and went directly to point of the feeding with her.<br/><br/>Also not sure what is Kay's feelings or business about it. They had practiced and trained a lot together and she's cute also but she haven't made any moves on him (what he is aware anyways). But he does remember the awkward and some parts even cold interactions as he was freshly assigned to the group after their teammate had died on mission. Kurai and Kay had known each other (and the deceased teammate) since academy years and grew up in village where as he was perfect stranger. It had taken lot of time from practicing together before chemistry had formed at all.<br/><br/>Despite own team success the much rest of village still considered Jin-Ryu a stranger and unwelcome at that as he is judged based on the fact he is outsider and also one who's one parent is in jail from stealing (and much suspicion is on him being a thief also and it's much confirmed he lived for time as a thief before becoming shinobi). So not much respect for thieves in village even if his skills on snatching stuff has been used plenty shinobi missions (and also having deep insight to street life).<br/><br/>As means to direct his mind out from depressing thoughts he says to Kay; ""Also I have strong hint that the second exam area is going to be that area over there."" He points towards the rivers and the forest area which seem worked on by locals and says; ""So heavy favoring for<em>suuton</em>users and to locals who know the area already and know how to swim."""

I imagine in first writting test the test questions are sort which only people from five villages can answer. Details and info and intel which only natives for given villages can answer, so thus forcing test attendants to ask questions from folks who are from said villages. Assuming direct asking is not forbidden but using genjutsu someone to tell would likely be. Of course there is potential the folks from other villages lie with their answers but then it can result others to lie and thus exam attendants who fail to honestly cooperate in writing through the exam together, fail the exam. As they could keep score board for those who answer truthfully and who lie and those who lie lot and even if they get top scores, they fail as spirit of exam is cross national cooperation and their lies reduced their scores from exam.<br/><br/>In second part where it's team against team.....I imagine they may do radical stuff like shuffle the team dynamics for that one. Make bunch of strangers work together in second exam so I would not say they exclusively stack odds for Mist shinobi teams but rather to teams who have Mist shinobi in them and thus know the local terrain, sharing intel and such. At least I imagine that way they can accomplish national cooperation for second part unless they make two teams work together if not entirely splinter teams and make new teams which last duration of the exam.<br/><br/>The last part as usual is the tournament likely, not sure is there possible to add national cooperation into it besides how contestants interact with each other during the match.

At least the wait would soon be over and he could focus on the exams. The genin departed on his own, leaving the rest of his team to their own devices as he went on into the woods.<br/><br/>He heard the familiar sounds of distant explosions and sound chased them down to their source.

Someone mentioned the name 'Ruka' and off he went in pursuit of the lead. He found the Jounin loading up a box full of bandages, splints, and other medicinal equipment.

She had brown hair, one bang over her forehead and a bushy ponytail, like so many other members of the Nara clan. Apparently she had some poor Iwa nin wrapped around her finger, the boy hanging onto her every word. She had all the wit of the clan's patriarch Shikamaru but none of the laziness.

Add into that the fact that she'd managed to develop the Nara genius, and she could be a serious threat.

On the other end sat Himawari, the blue-haired princess of Konoha. He was wearing a mesh shirt, having hung up his absurdly long scarf and jacket on a rack. He wore plain black pants, a shuriken holster, and sandals.<br/><br/>Tara was dressed in a tiger-patterned jacket with fur trim and black trousers. She was barefooted and dark-skinned, with blonde hair and a blonde tail that playfully wagged as she bobbed up and down on the bar.<br/><br/>Himawari herself was dressed in peach shorts and a sleeveless top, exposing her cleavage and considerable assets.

They all fell down about a foot as Hiro's arms bent, then back up as he stiffened them again. The movement made Himawari's considerable bosom bounce. ""Oh, we left all that intelligence gathering stuff to Naomi. Lately we've just been training with Sarutobi-Sensei.""<br/><br/>""Hrrrnn!"" Hiro grunted, clearly annoyed at the mention of his father.

Also the very threat that all shinobi are taught to fight against other shinobi can be key factors in preserving the peace; those who would seek harm shinobi world would hesitate much less if shinobi world would be entirely peaceful and neglect arts of conflict with belief that nobody amongst shinobi would cause them no harm.<br/><br/>Even so I am glad there is so much back up preserved to heal injuries and watch none the matches in second or third phases will go too far. Chuunin exams should remain both as trial of passage but also educative experience to future chuunins when they finally pass the exam. But I agree world would be lot nicer place if there would be more people helping each other true. Also nice if there would be no need for violence but it's rather naive to think humans ever would ever give up finding ways perform violence upon each other when they strongly desire something and have no wish to be nice about it."""

Hanabi closed her eyes with a smile and wished her team one final good luck. The room was bustling with life even before they entered, a myriad of voices all in cacophony from behind the doors. The genin were divided into six groups of chairs, one for each village and another for the various minor villages in attendance. Predictably, most people preferred to keep to themselves.<br/><br/>Azuki spotted the shark-looking girl, looking utterly bored of existence, sitting next to a striking young woman in a bikini and a white-haired princess-type. Haitsuchi was sitting down, though he still towered over some of his comrades in Iwa. He was talking to a wild-haired woman in a brick-patterned skirt and a midriff-revealing top. Over at the Konohagakure group, she spotted some familiar faces- Himawari and their old academy peers."

""You think so?"" She asked, tilting her head. ""I mean, Sarutobi-Sensei did say to expect the unexpected.""<br/><br/>Nara Naomi shrugged, and just then the door opened. In strode not any genin, but Jounin. Yuki and Azuki recognized Sarada Uchiha in particular, but the group was full of Shinobi from all the great nations. Jin-Ryu recognized Tango, an older Jounin that he hadn't much reason to interract with before. ""Alright, everyone take your seats!"" The Kirigakure Jounin at the head of the group announced as they paraded to the front of the classroom. He was a much older man in a standard uniform with a trimmed goatee, long hair, and a white headband. Each of the Jounin to his left and right began to walk through the groups with a stack of papers, handing one sheet to each genin.<br/><br/>""My name is Ganryū and I will be your chief proctor for this stage of the exam! You will have one hour to answer each question on this written exam.""<br/><br/>Yuki, Azuki, and Jin-Ryu received their tests from the other proctors. It was only 10 questions, with ten lines for their answers. ""When you complete the test, you will deliver it to one of the proctors for grading. Then you must leave the room.""<br/><br/>""At the conclusion of the written exam, all teams' scores will be tallied up to determine the minimum score required to pass. It will be graded on a curve, but any team with a member whose score is below the median score of all teams will be disqualified from the exam and will not pass to the next stage. This means that only half of you can pass.""<br/><br/>The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly turned cold. After the tests were handed out, the proctors stood with their backs to the walls of the room. They stood opposite of their own villages, which worked out for Yuki. Sarada stood just a few paces away from him, though she had an utmost professional demeanor. A handsome Kirigakure ninja with brown hair stood a little while from Azuki, and a bearded tanned-skin man from Iwagakure stood behind Jin-Ryu.<br/><br/>""If you have any questions, you may ask one of the proctors standing beside you. Remember you have one hour."" Ganryū said.<br/><br/>Looking down at their papers, Jin-Ryu, Azuki, and Yuki saw the questions. They were... considerably difficult.<br/><br/>""You may begin.""

Hopefully the girl's incredible perception would be put to good use here.<br/><br/>Rather than immediately raising her hand to ask questions, Azuki flipped her paper to glance over the test. All incredibly obscure or complicated questions, of course. THe first two she didn't have the foggiest clue.

She let out a breath at that point, just strong enough to tickle Himawari's hair in the seat in front of her, before moving her pencil to point at her own exam sheet. Smart girl like Himawari would figure it out. Besides, the more Konoha teams in the exam, the higher the odds of her not getting murdered!

Teru, of course, was not much of an academic. She quickly copied off of Azuki's paper and then jealously guarded it from anyone else's prying eyes. Shiromaru sniffed at the sheet for a second, then opened his mouth over it. Teru recoiled from him in horror, clutching the sheet close to her chest.<br/><br/>""Uh... Can we talk?"" Kodoku asked their proctor, who smiled and nodded as he passed, ""Yes.""<br/><br/>Himawari didn't seem to notice Azuki's subtle way of getting her attention- focused on the exam as she was. Thankfully, Naomi sitting beside her was giving Azuki a sideways glance. With a nudge from the Nara kunoichi, Himawari looked behind her. Her blue eyes followed Azuki's pencil and then she nodded. With a smile, her eyes turned pure white. They scanned over Azuki's paper for a moment. ...A long moment. She<em>was</em>reading backwards afterall.<br/><br/>Then she copied down the answers. Azuki overheard other students asking questions... they were all answered with either yes or no and anything more complex than that was flat out ignored or more considerately, asked to be rephrased. The proctors were going from student to student and the once-silent room was starting to get louder.<br/><br/>Naomi raised her hand and the Mist Jounin went over to her with a jovial smile. She held up her tally, ""Is this tally relevent to the written test?"" He nodded and then moved to attend to another student before she interrupted, ""If this person fails their test, does that mean I fail it as well?""<br/><br/>The brown-haired man with fair features paused for a moment, then leaned in close, ""Yes."" and finally left to answer the other genin.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Sarada Uchiha went over to Yuki, not revealing any hint of the personal relationship they might have had. ""Yes or no questions only."" She sternly replied, then, when he interjected with his second inquiry, the Jounin's features softened, ""Uh, no.""

Much more than half.""<br/><br/>""Yuki-kun..."" Makoto said from her 'seat' off to the side of the chairs, the puppet crouched low with her real feet on the ground. Her little three-fingered grabber protruding from the puppet's weapon bay up top was doing an admirable job of holding the pencil. In fact, she had already scrawled down one of the answers. She simply wrote the Kanji for 'Gate' as the answer for number 10.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>""No, yes."" The Jounin tersely answered Jin-Ryu before attending to another genin. ""Psst."" Kurai elbowed Jin-Ryu and revealed just enough of her paper to give him the answer to 6. She wrote 'A shuriken, Lightning' there. Kay, meanwhile, didn't have anything of her own to share. She meekly took Kurai's answer and scribbled it down for herself.<br/><br/>""Damn, these are hard..."" The petite speedster sighed, holding her pencil like she was mashing a pestle. She lowered her head, already quite low to the desk, and gave Jin-Ryu the shifty-eyes, ""So we gotta cheat, huh? Get these answers from the other villages' genin?""<br/><br/>""Or just<em>ask</em>them."" Kurai shrugged.<br/><br/>""HEY!"" Nara Naomi stood up just a few feet from Azuki. She stood... on her chair, clutching the tally. The brown-haired woman spared one glance over at the head proctor, who made no motion to stop her.

If your name is Akihiko Fūma... then that makes us team mates!""<br/><br/>""I'm Akihiko Fūma!"" Declared a man's voice from the class, a genin from the non-Great village section.

Then she wasn't alone, as others stood up, shouting out their names and who they had on their tallies. The whole classroom was in an uproar, as genin began to yell over eachother. Individual names got lost in the mess and it was even starting to pain the ears.<br/><br/>""NEW RULE!"" Ganryū declared in a booming voice, quieting down everyone.

My name on the stick has Mitarashi Azuki. Familiar to you?"" Once hearing he is not (assuming here) and he replies; ""Well, your name is shorter to write so we go with that. She likely has your name on her stick and so is already looking for you.""<br/><br/>Yuki then would get up and close see how lights are turned off from the thin razors which had been coiled together, see how Jin-Ryu agile manner re-arranges the setup and then with crackle from his fingers the wires flare up....now reading in 'Hyuuga Yuki' in bright quietly crackling letters. Ligthing flaring the letters up as if in neon-signs in towns and cities. He can see the wires are not just metal; but thorium which is ideal conduct for transfering chakra, but likewise it asks strong control and prowess to channel elemental chakra steadily and it not 'blow up on your face' sort scenario. Also have curious familiarity how electricity works with thin wires; to know applying electric chakra on them makes them glow.<br/><br/>While holding up the wires Jin-Ryu says to Yuki; ""I predicted this year theme will be cross-village cooperation, normally in written exams if one your team members fail the exam, then entire team fails it. However this year your teammates were randomly shuffled, so either me, you or Azuki fails under the medium score, we will not proceed this year further. This is my theory anyways on this exam setup and the questions on the papers.<br/><br/>The questions are tough and hard even for people from their own villages, making it impossible to get full score without asking questions from other village shinobi. However how you can trust other shinobi give valid intel? Well, trading intel and with someone who if they fail exam because you gave wrong intel, you fail also. It ensures honesty between the random picked teammates in written portion of the exam."""

Also considering the proctors loaded lots medical supplies for second stage, along with some rumors I heard, there are shinobi amongst exam attendants who do not hesitate seriously harm you.

Moving over towards her, he found her with a boy in a hoodie and sunglasses in his hair who looked rather sheepish and a young woman with long navy blue hair, blue skin, and a rather large bastard sword strapped to her back. She was wearing a sleeveless wetsuit that ended at her thighs, with a Kirigakure headband around her neck and bandages around her wrists and ankles.

She also saw Mirai Sarutobi, a friend of Hanabi's and the daughter of a hero that died in the last war.<br/><br/>Once everyone had arrived, the Kirigakure woman in the center of the group of proctors announced herself, ""My name is Misuno and I will be the proctor of the second stage of the Chūnin exams!""

Remove 'choosing an impact point' altogether. Forking is on impact.<br/>C. No roll to hit, you only choose distance (impact point, center of area).<br/>D.

Heck, that were four 'random' bandits in some abandoned tower. Such enemies are not supposed to tax the heros' ability to the utmost. If they did, how would you want to up the ante against some really outstanding tough guys.<br/><br/>Also consider, Seraph did go down to about 50% HP, and it took some smart maneuvering (at least I prefer to think of it that way :) ) on Aneirin's side not to get hit as well. She used various different spells, not just blast after blast.<br/><br/>If I had played a Monk instead, it would soon have devolved into toe-to-toe trading of blows. Especially online with a daily turn frequency that setup-and-blast gameplay seems more interesting.<br/><br/>Also, towards the end of the fight, intentional or not, you brought up another interesting element. It need not always be the case that survival and kill the enemy are the only objectives. In this case saving the prisoners suddenly became a priority, one we solved so-so.<br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote""><a href=""https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=256677.msg12805485#msg12805485"">Quote from: TexasWarren on 27-11-2016, 16:32:51</a></div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">I think the fix here is for me to just write like I want and trust that if it goes a way you don't like that you will tell me. <br/></blockquote><div class=""quotefooter""><div class=""botslice_quote""></div></div>Now that sounds like a good plan!<br/><br/><div class=""quoteheader""><div class=""topslice_quote""><a href=""https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=256677.msg12805485#msg12805485"">Quote from: TexasWarren on 27-11-2016, 16:32:51</a></div></div><blockquote class=""bbc_standard_quote"">...from above, I think were we are headed is our own system with a core of PF for basic rules.

Reduced damage after the spell has dealt enough structural damage to the door to break it? Door is enough cover?<br/><br/>- Assume Aneirin stands at F7 and launches the spell into the room D6:E8, centered on D6. Does she suffer backlash? I would assume yes. What, however, habbens if she stands at F6 resp. F8 while doing it? Is it even possible to 'fire around the corner'? If it is, does that put her in danger of a backlash again?

As for Aneirins knowledge, let's assume if she KNOWS the spell then she is aware of how it should work. Sure, exceptions can happen but for the most part Aneirin is aware of its capabilities.<br/><br/>So lets look at the spell description and then the properties of walls.<br/><br/><strong>A massive bolt of lightning soars from your palm towards the targets...</strong><br/><br/>First it sounds like line of sight, so no, it cannot be “aimed” around a corner or even at someone with 100% cover for that matter. You must be able to see the target, or make a guess that may/may not be right.<br/><br/><strong>...to fork before impact and hit everyone in the area. </strong><br/><br/>So anyone, friend or foe, even animals or non-humanoids are hit within the strike zone (20')<br/><br/><strong>Unattended objects also take this damage.</strong><br/><br/>OK, so anything takes damage as well.<br/><br/><strong>Unless it impacts upon a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the prescribed range, the lightning arc at that point. An early impact results in damage only to the creature or object hit.</strong><br/><br/>So it either forks at your designated target OR it strikes early and ONLY the object or person hit takes the damage (It does not fork).<br/><br/><strong>If you attempt to send the lightning bolt through a narrow passage, such as through an arrow slit, you must ""hit"" the opening with a ranged touch attack,</strong><br/><br/>The hallway is NOT a narrow passageway for our purpose here. Lets say (in the future) that narrow is a 2' square or smaller. Can you edit the spell to say that, please?<br/><br/><div align=""center""><strong>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</strong></div><br/><strong>OK, so walls. There is Hardness and Hps:</strong><br/><br/>Wood Hardness is 5 and HP's are 10/in. of thickness<br/>Stone is 8 and 15/in. of thickness<br/>Iron or steel is 10 and 30/in. of thickness<br/><br/>Hardness is like DR so the first 5 HP's for wood do not count.<br/>Also, energy attacks deal half damage to most objects. Since wood does not conduct electricity I think this would apply here.<br/><br/><strong>When objects take half their total hit points gain the broken condition. When an object's hit points reach 0, it's ruined.</strong><br/><br/>OK, so I am going to say that a basic inside wall is 4” thick and an outside wall 6” thick. So 40 and 60 HP's respectively. This is per 5' section of wall.<br/><br/>If your spell does 70 Points of damage and strikes an inside wall, it would do 70/2 = 35 – 5 = 30 HP damage to the wall. That would give it the Broken condition however, that has no effect on a wall. So in a sense, nothing happens. At full damage it is ruined and thus useless as a wall. This could have many different results from just being an opening to a roof collapse.<br/><br/>I included (below) 2 examples based on your OOC. The yellow is the 20' spell radius. Red lines are walls that are impacted.<br/><br/>In example 2, note that you would not get hit but neither would NPC 6 if he stayed in D8 as you told him. Also note Glass (Windows) have a Hardness of 1 and 1 HP/inch so the glass would shatter. The boards over it are 1” so they too would likely be obliterated.<br/><br/>Hope that answered your questions.<br/><br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/ef/Example1.jpg)<br/><br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/a7/Example2.jpg)<br/>"

They have to be for this to work. Otherwise it is simply me deciding what I want to do. With that I could easily kill your PC or (as now) let her escape or be captured. Random rolls make it work so we don't know all that much in advance.<br/><br/>I will use this last event as my example:<br/><br/>Does an NPC know where you are... Well sure there is stealth vs. perception but there is also intuition, intelligence, thought, ideas, guessing and their past experiences.<br/><br/>Based on the perception rolls MOST LIKELY they won't know, so my roll was a d20 with only a 20 having a different idea. I got one 20, NPC 10.<br/><br/>I also got a 2, so that was why NPC 3 said ""she went this way"" because he thought you did even though he MADE the perception check. (Since he was stunned that round. If he had not been you and he would have passed each other in the hall). Even the being stunned part was a random roll (d20, even/odd so 50% chance), and so was the number of rounds!(d4).<br/><br/>So, will they find you? I have no idea.

And he did help her quite a bit.<br/><br/>As the player I would not mind if some unforseen event separated the two. Especially when replaced by a female NPC, could be fun to get into for example a foursome with pairs of males they come across.<br/><br/>But ingame out of Aneirins initiative they wont split up. I would also not mind the two continuing to work together. What would you enjoy more?<br/><br/><strong>Level up</strong><br/><br/>Yay, Level 7! Lots of new toys. :)<br/><br/>I would like to talk about some of the options with you, though. For one, to give you the chance at a veto in case you deem something problematic. I know, a good GM can deal with almost anything, but if we can avoid severely story limiting options we should at least think about it. So what does Aneirin get?<br/><br/>- Skill points: already spent<br/>- Enhancement points: Exactly enough to raise Charisma by two. Now she is even<del>hotter</del>more lovely.<br/>- Bloodline feat: The only interesting candidates are Improved Initiative and Quicken Spell. For Quicken Spell it is a bit too early (she can now quicken her cantrips, yay!) so Improved Initiative it is.<br/>- Bloodline Spell. The choice is between Rage and Fly. Well, in theory it is a choice. In practice, I just take Fly. .)<br/><br/>Those were the easy ones. Now to those worth mulling over:<br/><br/>- Regular level 7 feat.<br/><br/>One imediate thought was Elemental Spell (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/elemental-spell-metamagic/) which would nicely cover her weakness against Lightning immune monsters. The upside compared to picking a damaging spell of another element would be that by altering Lightning Arc/Forked Lightning she would still benefit from her Spell Specialization feats. Plus, she gets to pick other useful options in these spell slots.<br/><br/>There are certainly other options.<br/><br/>Intensified Spell (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/intensified-spell-metamagic/) might be relevant soon (though it is probably a better lvl 9 option).<br/><br/>Selective Spell (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/selective-spell-metamagic/) sounds very useful combined with the large scale carnage that Forked Lightning can inflict.<br/><br/>Augment Summoning (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/augment-summoning-final/) see below under level 4 spell<br/><br/>Focused Spell (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/focused-spell-metamagic/) would be good if it affected all targets of a Color Spray/Stinking Cloud/Confusion. But with only one target it is a bit meh and I am probably better served waiting for Persistent Spell (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/persistent-spell-metamagic/) if I want such an effect.<br/><br/>Or I just take Alertness (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/alertness-final/). :)<br/><br/>Suggestions are welcome<br/><br/>- New cantrip.<br/><br/>I will think ofsomething. :)<br/><br/>- New level 3 spell.<br/><br/>Options I am considering:<br/><br/>Stinking Cloud<br/>Phantom Steed<br/>SummonMoster III<br/><br/>Phantom Steed is probably a bit too early, but certainly very flashy. :)<br/>Summon Monster III see below under level 4 spells<br/>Stinking Cloud. Yet another combat spell, albeit a very useful. One fog effect is good to have, and this is probably the best one.<br/><br/><br/>- New level 4 spell.<br/><br/>Probably the biggest improvement, and should be chosen well.<br/><br/>Worth noting is that Aneirin already sort of knows one level 4 spell, namely Empowered Forked Lightning. So the new one does not have to be that universal.<br/><br/>Candidates I am considering are:<br/><br/>Black Tetacles<br/>Confusion<br/>Summon Monster IV<br/>Greater Invisibility<br/>Dimension Door<br/><br/>Black Tentacles is probably just inferior to Confusion, since Confusion has this nifty friend/foe detection built in. No worries about positioning, just cast it and it will hit all the bad guys and none of your allies.<br/><br/>Summon Moster IV would make sense in a package deal together with Summon Moster III and the Augmented Sumoning Feat. In this combination a powerful and very flexible combat option. Though that is steering her magic into a completely new direction. Not sure I want that. Plus, all the additional book keeping hassle in combat. :)<br/><br/>Which brings us to my two favorites.<br/><br/>Seeing how the last fights went Greater Invisibility can be very powerful. Out of combat regular Invisibility seems just better due to the loger duration so Greater Invisibility has to be considered a combat spell. In combat, however, I see a problem with this. Against regular opponents this turns Aneirin into a stealth bomber, shooting lighting out of nowhere decimating the opposition that hardly has any means to fight back effectively. Which in turn means from now on in any worthwhile fight you will have to give the opposition means to break or at least see through that Greater Invisibility. Which in turn makes the spell a lot worse.<br/><br/>Dimension Door might, from a gut feeling point of view, actually be my favorite. It simply gives Aneirin another dimension (what a pun!) of what she can do, and is not just 'another combat spell'."

I think of the World as about 25% of a normal magic world, so Shoreside ould be at 50%. For any Magic Item you wnt to buy, roll a d20. 11 or higher and it is available. 10 or lower and it is not. In other places we will use this as well, but at 25% or 16 or higher.<br/><br/>There may be situation modifiers with this.

a big change from school, that was for sure.  It was exciting, and a little scary, and she wasn't absolutely sure she was ready for everything.  It didn't help that she was living away from home for the first time, and everything seemed harder when you had to do it all yourself.  The first couple of weeks had been a bit tough - sometimes frantic - but now she was really starting to think she had a handle on the basics.  She knew where the laundry was, she'd figured out the hours of the nearest cafeteria, and she'd purchased or borrowed all the little things she and her mother had forgotten when she moved in to res.  Her single room was cramped - smaller than her bedroom back home - but she was adjusting.  At least she had a corner, so it was pretty quiet.<br/><br/>So everything was on track, she was getting into a routine, she was caught up on the first few assignments - all easy so far - and she was even holding to her schedule for studying.  This year was going to be a good one... a new start, in a new place, with new classmates.  Maybe even new friends, although that hadn't quite clicked yet.  But like her mother had said: ""Just do your best, study hard, and friends will come... the<em>right kind</em>of friends.""<br/><br/>And there she had been, scooping her sketchpad into her bag to go to next class, when someone spoke to her.  At first she didn't realize he was talking to her at all - a quiet voice behind her, talking about roleplaying.  She finished packing up, turned - and there he was, looking at her expectantly.  ""John"" or something - she'd seen him in class before, but hadn't given him much thought.  Now she cocked her head, trying to play back whatever he'd just said when she wasn't paying attention.<br/><br/>""Sorry... what?  I mean... what's that?""<br/><br/>The poor guy was practically stumbling all over himself as he mumbled out something... it was a game, with dice, and players play-acting.  OK, she'd heard of something like that, but... she opened her mouth to ask more, but he was already backing away, spouting a time and place, and then he spun and scurried out, leaving her standing alone, clutching her pack.  It seemed a little underwhelming.  But she<em>had</em>been asked out to something!  She wasn't too sure about this guy... though apparently there'd be others at the game, too, from what she could understand.  Maybe... well, maybe they were all as shy as he was.  But that was OK... that would be easier, maybe.  Certainly he didn't seem the sort to be making any trouble!  That's what she needed, a safe place to fit in.  She could give it a try, see what she thought... and never go again, if it wasn't fun.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Apparently his name was Josh... and the others were Marc, Paco, and Lisa.  They seemed fine... and the basement was ordinary enough.  Daria smiled around the group, giving Lisa a bit of a longer, sympathetic smile, then turned her attention to Marc, who seemed to be somehow in charge of this game.  The others had played before... or, the guys had, it seemed she and Lisa were the two newcomers to the group.<br/><br/>Marc... the ""Dungeon Master""... sorted out some old business, but when he had questions, she didn't know where to start.  Luckily Paco did... and that broad question got everything started.  She watched Marc, then Josh... he really was pretty shy, and even looked uncomfortable here, with his friends.  Fortunately, Marc was prepared to give them the basics of how to play... and it sounded like they could mostly pick it up as they went along.  It sounded clear enough... the idea of a fantasy world was pretty appealing.  And controlling a character in a book, that... sounded good, though she didn't get a chance to say so.  She glanced over at Lisa, wondering if the other girl maybe knew more about this than she did, but it seemed they were both totally new.  But so long as the guys were a little patient, it ought to be ok.<br/><br/>She nodded, though Marc was continuing on.  He was the oldest, and it seemed he probably knew the most about the game.  Plus he was in charge, however that worked - maybe she'd get a chance to ask more in a bit, but for now apparently she had to roll some dice.  She murmured ""thanks"" as she took a sheet, looking at it a bit blankly at all the spaces for things she didn't understand.  But ""Name"", she understood that.<br/><br/>""Oh, ok.  Umm... can I borrow a pencil?""  She looked around a moment - she didn't know she'd need to be writing stuff down, or would have come prepared.<br/><br/>Once equipped, she bit her lip.  What name was appropriate?  The only character name she'd heard was ""Blackleaf"".  But that seemed to fit with the general idea of fantasy writing.  So... she didn't know a lot of fantasy literature, but she knew the Arthurian tales a little.  ""Is Gwendolyn OK for a name?""  She glanced around before writing that down.<br/><br/>Then, dice... there were a lot of dice here, and odd ones...  she was fascinated by the other shapes.  Perfect shapes, the triangular pyramid, cubes of course, and... icosahedrons?  She picked one up - yes, definitely 20 sides.  She smiled... last year her Arts teacher had a mania for Platonic Solids, and here they were, all five of them!<br/><br/><br/>Eventually she picked out the cubes, and rolled as instructed, matching the rolls to the spots on the sheet.  Her writing was well-formed, of course, and she turned the sheet around to show Marc when he asked.<br/>STR: 13  INT: 8  WIS: 13  DEX: 11  CON: 8  CHA: 10<br/><br/>""How is that?  I guess... high is better?""<br/><div class=""spoiler_container""><div class=""spoiler_header"" onclick=""hideSecond (this);"" role=""button"">Rolls</div><div class=""spoiler_body"">Just pasting in reverse order, it's easier!<br/>At 2016-10-17 15:37:39, victoria4 (uid: 37138) rolls: 3d6 Result: 10 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=95934)<br/>At 2016-10-17 15:37:25, victoria4 (uid: 37138) rolls: 3d6 Result: 8 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=95933)<br/>At 2016-10-17 15:37:14, victoria4 (uid: 37138) rolls: 3d6 Result: 11 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=95932)<br/>At 2016-10-17 15:37:01, victoria4 (uid: 37138) rolls: 3d6 Result: 13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=95931)<br/>At 2016-10-17 15:36:45, victoria4 (uid: 37138) rolls: 3d6 Result: 8 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=95930)<br/>At 2016-10-17 15:36:23, victoria4 (uid: 37138) rolls: 3d6 Result: 13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=95929)<br/></div></div>"

It wasn’t really her decision to go to a college but her parents were quite certain that she can’t spend her whole life in a god forsaken place, while always staying under their direct protection from the real world around. Still it wasn’t even their doing that she ended up continuing her studies. It was mainly because all of her high school colleagues were going. Yes, she was definitely a person to do something just because everyone else were doing it.<br/><br/>Arriving to the city came as a real shock to her, as she was quite often skipping even the simple household duties. Now that she had to learn many new things about the day by day routine she was overwhelmed. No wonder she had lost most of her usual energy and couldn’t really find the time to focus on her studies. Not that she would be a great student anyway. She wasn’t very sharp to begin with. But the lack of organization made her struggle heavily with the school tasks.<br/><br/>With all these troubles she became a real sucker for not too frequent social opportunities. In these first weeks at the college she was barely invited few times by some girls from her group to some girlie afternoons, like watching films or going shopping together.<br/><br/>But this time it was going to be different. After all it was an actual GUY, who decided to chat her up. She had never really spent much time around boys as her parents would keep an eye on her by all means, so she considered it to be just some fresh experience. Like if she was gradually becoming accepted by her peers. And as always her fellow students opinion was the important part of her nature.<br/><br/>The boy was unnaturally shy, but for Lisa he was just acting a bit weird. She was really poor at reading other people behaviors.<br/>-<strong>A roleplaying game?</strong>– she stopped with a blank look. It didn’t help that the guy wasn’t really intent on trying to reach her and they both took few seconds just starring at each other. But she looked at him again after a short moment. –<strong>And what’s that?</strong><br/>The boy seemed to be reluctant to go about the details. He was clearly proud enough of himself that he managed to offer her a place in the event.<br/>-<strong>But the ‘playing’ part tells me it’s some kind of a game so just count me in.</strong>– she finally said with an honest smile.<br/>This last gesture of her must have been encouraging enough because the boy found enough bravery in himself to share the details about the time and place with her. Then he just left in a hurry.<br/><br/>Lisa was left alone with the prospect of getting along with some more of her college colleagues…<br/><br/><em>But wait… </em>After few next steps she realized that she didn’t know, who the guy was, so he couldn’t had been from her group. In fact it’s highly possible that she had seen him for the first time in her life… She stood in silence for few seconds. No longer… Eventually she just shrugged her shoulders and decided not to dwell on this tiny little detail any longer.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>After arriving to the destination she was introduced to her new friends: Josh, Marc, Paco and Daria. Well at least she instantly considered them friends, because well, they DID like her enough to invite her for a game. She didn’t think much about their personalities, but still she managed to catch a liking to the way the other female smiled at her. She of course returned the simple gesture in a rather visible way, what was actually an achievement because she kept her cheerful face ever since she arrived. She wasn’t very talkative. Although she was happy she didn’t speak much.

She still remembered how troubled she became after the cape was her first choice of clothing. Hopefully, her sorceress won't need to change anything about her outfit, but just in case she decided to keep her lips sealed until the topic is changed.<br/><br/>Luckily, Daria quickly decided to point into totally different direction and now that the girl mentioned the baron's approach toward the problem it did sound heartless for Lisa too.<br/><br/>-<strong>Besides we can care about the people more than baron intended, when we reach the village, can't we?</strong>- she suggested with plenty of hope in her voice.<br/>"
