Faithfulness : OOC

There is nothing like disobedience. The exhilaration of knowing you are where you aren't meant to be, doing what you shouldn't. It's only exciting because it's dangerous. And what is a world without risks?

I myself am a disobedient one. I mean, look! I've left my Territory to seek out the Dark Lord, and take his head. What a task, but it is one I thought would interest me. It is said that he who drinks the Dark Lord's blood is immortal. But it is said he who takes the Dark Lord's blood and does not drink it, but offers it to Elysium, gains something else. What that other option is changes amongst the rumors and people. Some say the earth would be born again, others say the earth will purge before birth again. I see it more like a hobby. You see, I've got enemies too. Ones who have a plan far better than my own. Is it true? Yes. I must play upon pitiful tactics and hopes of fairy tales amongst this land in hopes of saving not just my Territory, but others as well. But I will tell you why I must use such things later on. For now, let me give you depth about where it is, and who we are; and why it all plays such a key role.


Welcome to Elysium. It is the world on which this story of mine takes place. A world so shrouded in thick rolling storm clouds that day is night, and night is the darkest black that one could imagine. Even the stars are afraid to twinkle here. The land is rugged and untamed; the deserts are wet beaches lacking oceans, and the oceans are depths of hungry carnivorous waters in which man can disappear forever. The sky is the unhappy martyr that reminds us of our sins. The earth is the angry mother who aborts our race with her violent earth-quakes and deafening storms. And we are the people who made it this way. We are the beginning, the end, the Alpha, Omega, and all between.

{Elysium Lands}
-Iyatiku: This is a wet desert, said to have once been a great dry desert before the clouds came and the rains began. It is populated by lizard-like creatures and serpents. As well, scavenging beasts search these lands for carcasses of weary travelers.
-Egestes: A marshland composed of many underwater cemeteries. Here, it is said that mermaids exist (but not like fairy-tale mermaids!). These and ghosts are seen frequently in these dark lands where many mysteries and myths are said to rest beneath the water's dark surface.
-Dyavol: A rich jungle, prosperous with life and vegetation. Many wild plants grow here, some of which are even carnivorous. This place is maze-like and expansive, said to hold beasts that hunger for travelers.
-Satanya: A dryer forest. It has tall thin trees and barren sandy earth. Roots are said to move, as do the trees at times. It is said that Satanya used to be a ceremonial land for dream demons. Is full of illusion and temptation.
-Dea Tacita: This was once a beautiful territory, ruled by the only race of living Celestials who had ever taken a throne upon a Territory. How the territory fell is unknown, but what is known is that this place holds the many White Temples that are now abandoned. A lot of mystery revolves around this place, and tales of Elysa lie here.
-Xiru'ki: Just beyond the fallen Celestial territory, is a mountain range said to have been the birth place of Celestials. It is as well full of mystery, seeing as how most do not return from these icy lands.
-Gehenna: A prosperous market-land lying between Baiame and Estavo. Full of life any many races.
-Murimuria: A dark land of caverns that is famed to have been the birth-place of Nyxi. It as well holds many beasts and has many interesting drawings and crystals inside secreted to hold the secret of why Elysium began to fall into destruction.
-Avernus: Said to be the Hellish lands beyond land, where the Dark Lord resides. It is ridden with darkness and shadow, and is composed of a great castle that is larger than most territories in size.
-Dilmun: The land of the dead, where spirits go after death and wait for the arrival of a guide to lead them to an afterlife.
-Avaiki: The so-called "Heaven" which is not so... heavenly. It is said to be the place where the Goddess Elysa resides, but it is not known if she is there.
-Vanth: The land of metal. It is a great and giant pit in the earth where minerals are found and mined. It is the land shared between territories where oil, metal, and machines are founded.
-Yamaraja: Said to be the Holy Land long ago, it is now a long and vast plateau that not many survive. It is here that the worst storms stir, falling over the cliff-edged lands and breaking them- thus how the cliffs and plateaus formed. It is whispered a secret God lives here.
Ziusudra: A beach that outlines the unnamed ocean. It is said that when watching the horizon at the time of a sunset, one can get a faint glimpse of the sun through the sea-storms in the distance. Some even say they can see Elysa dancing on the water when the sun sets.
Kothar: The plains that fill most of the space between the territories. The river Anat runs through these plains and provides water to the territories.
Summanus: The mountain range near Gehenna. It loops around and surrounds Orcus, and splits off, dividing Horon from Vanth. These mountains are shaped like a "P".
Cochise Canyons: As the name implies, these are a set of deep earthen cracks in the center of Arawn, where water does not travel. These canyon depths are dangerous and known to make people disappear.
Axis Mundi: A place of cosmic possibilities. This winter wonderland is said to have many a mystery to it, and is known to be a place that serves as a vortex, or a place where people who have made it to Avaiki, Avernus, or even Dilmun, can return and move around. This is a place more often traveled than most, because dead relatives or fallen comrades can be met here.
Asphodel Meadows: A stretch of beautiful meadow surrounding Asphodel Lake. These lands are a calm resting place, and are rather safe for travelers.
Avalon: This is a hole in the earth, a dip- like a giant and massive crater. Here, a fog lies in the land, and a mythical message passes that anyone to find the center will find great treasures and wealth. This place reeks of darkness and bad intention.
Kumari Kandam: The land here is constantly flooded almost twenty feet deep if not more. The trees stretch upwards like giant banzais. And the place is littered with glowing fireflies of a sea-green and hazy blue. Here lives an unknown race of people that have avoided persecution by the humans.


{Elysium Territories}
-Baiame: Ruled by: Eko La Croix
-Labrux: Ruled by: Elliott Andrew Covenis III
-Versai: Ruled by: Barthalomew Gardis Draco II
-Estavo: Ruled by: Estafan Morgan Vastin
-Horon: Ruled by: Nero Brenden Nemesis
-Orcus: Ruled by: Ryu Olin Solice IV

Rule is put into separate Territories. Each territory is ruled by a clan, or family, of Nobles who are of the blood to rule. Nobles are protected by Mages, and Mages are cared for by warriors. Warriors are served by merchants, and merchants pestered by peasants. There, now you've an understanding of my people. But of course I can't just tell you that. I must tell you more.



First comes what kind of people I have here. Of course, if you are not human, your social system differs. Thankfully, we do not have a ton of humanoid races amongst us. Only a few races born from interbreeding with the old and almost forgotten Immortals...

{Elysium Races}
-Humans: Humans are the pure race of weaklings, that have over time learned many skills and abilities. Diverse and unique, humans are adept in most things, depending on class mostly.
-Doves: Doves are named after, you guessed it, doves. They were originally created from humans and the white-winged Celestials. They bear perfect white skin, hair that is usually dark (dark blues, violets, burgundy, black, etc.). They also have thin wings that appear like bird wings in design, but are sheet-thin and made of something more like a dragonfly or butterfly's wings. These thin wings have an iridescent shine, and do not give the wonder of flight.
Abilities
-By wrapping oneself in their wings, they can reflect light, or reflect none (Creating either beacons of light, or shadows of themselves)
-Brilliant sight and hearing
-Great mages
-Omens: Omens were originally created from humans and wild demons that yearned for life and danced in human dreams. These creatures usually have dark skin, usually from bronze to black, even to a coal shade or deep reddish tint. They too have dark hair. As well, these creatures usually bear tribal markings along their bodies, and are masculine or lean. Omens are known to have black nails and solid eyes lacking pupils, or having uniquely shaped pupils that form a cross.
Abilities
-Extremely strong
-They can ''taste'' the air with serpent-like tongues and capture the scent of someone or something that has passed.
-Intimidating and great fighters
-Nyxi: These were born of humans and dream beasts; or Celestials of a neutral reign, who enjoyed nothing more than toying with humans. They are usually a medium color, shading between tan and gray skin-tones most often. Their hair as well varies a lot. They are only truly noted by their devilish grins and fangs, long nails, limber bodies, and long slender tails (like a devil's tail, with a reverse heart shape at the end).
Abilities
-Fast / evasive
-Telepathic
-Great hunters

Now that you know the classes, I shall tell you about the social scale of Class.

{Elysium Classes}
-Nobles: Nobles are fast and usually can take after classes that range from light fighters to swordsmen, and sometimes Red or Black Mages. Top of the social chain, not playable without special permission.
-Mages: Mages are evasive and unique, but rather weak. But what they lack in physical skill they make up with the ability to communicate with the flow of energy amongst Elysium. Mages are trained in the art of using their bodies as vessels to transport Elysa (the Goddess or Creator of Earth). Red, Black, White Mages possible. Second on the social chain, more so because being a Mage takes a certain congenital skill not everyone possesses.
-Warriors: These are men and women trained in the physical art of fighting. They are good with what weapon they have, and take pride in having great strength and skill. This includes Heavy Swordsmen, Swordsmen, Lancers, and Axe-men. Just below Mages. Known for their devotion to protecting others and being great guardians.
-Fighter / Thieves: These are people who have a skill with both speed and fighting out front. They are known for being elusive and difficult to do battle with. Fighters are usually wielding lighter weapons, and thieves carry small weapons as well. Lower, mostly due to the fact that Fighters and Thieves do most of the factory work, peddling, and stealing.


I myself am a Noble. My name is Eko, but it's pronounced like Echo. Anyways, we will get back on that topic later. Now, to explain myself, and the little important things of my goals. You see, Ryu Solice is a very bad man. And don't get me wrong, I just love bad men, but he's endangering my people. He is taking more from Vanth, and taking a step ahead in the technological race. While the most of us remain at steam-power, he's creating electrical power from the storms that are constantly flowing. And he's creating an army; I must not forget that. Of Omens. He is collecting them, almost. I knew something was wrong with the dear man, but not something so twisted. Rumors began to spread to my people, arousing fear in their hearts. Some speak that Ryu has made a pact with the Dark Lord; that the Dark Lord, Dyablo, will make a deal with him and trade him his blood for the cleansing of these lands. If I must interpret, so be it. He has offered Ryu immortality for Ryu to destroy the other Territories. How can one man and one land destroy the many others? Well, like I said, Ryu is ahead of everyone else. He is pairing his Omen army with vicious weapons and mechanical advantages. Monsters, is what he is creating.

But Ryu, he is so kind to me, as we were once friends long ago. He said that if I were to be his wife, then all should be well and I could still have my rule. He said I would also gain immortality. Here is where I fall into the favor of disobedience.

I denied him. And now he is mad with me. And thus, my people are in danger before others. It is my responsibility, as Noble, Lady of Baiame, to defend my people... Here I am now too. For you. Rallying the cause. Do you have faith in me? And if so, is that faithfulness strong? Come, my friends, we must continue. Let me warn you of what awaits...



Now along the way, you will surely run upon the beasts of Elysium's lands. Here are a few to look out for:

{Elysium Bestiary}
-Mermaids: Beautiful creatures who have a pale green tint to their already stone-gray skin. Their eyes are glazed with a metallic stone shine, and their scales reflect light. They have long and terribly sharp nails, and teeth sharp enough to sear skin from bone with just a touch. Their tongues are long and serpent-like, and when underwater, they can usually lure a man or woman under using seduction and dark magic.
-Chimera: Beasts of lion, bull, serpent, and eagle. Three heads arrange itself in the front, of a bull, eagle, and lion. The body starts out as a lion, leading back into thick hoofed feet of a bull. The tail is a long black serpent. These beasts have some control over magic.
-Undead Celestial: Beautiful creatures who lack their skin in some places. They are frail looking and deathly thin. But they have broken and mottled black Dove wings, and cast dark magics.
-Demons: Come on now, must I explain? Wicked creatures from beneath Dyablo himself! They are dark-skinned and wicked, with horns protruding from their heads and tails from their rears. Fierce and powerful, without any relent or mercy.
-Scavenger: A large bird-like predator who uses its massive talons to swoop down and capture children, animals, etc. Carnivorous.
-Poison Ivy: Carnivorous ivy that chokes and captures people with its vine. It usually has a large and brilliant blood-red blossom that it pulls victims into. The petals cage the victim as fang-like structures gnaw away at it and poison and acid are excreted to devour the body.
-Dyablo: Lord of Darkness, the Dark Lord, King Dyablo; whatever you shall call him, call him. He is wicked and fabled as evil. Once believed to be the Goddess' Elysa's lover, he is now a dark ruler of Avernus. Dyablo has wicked intentions, and is great at persuasion. He is one of the few still standing Immortals.



Now, before we go any further, let me stop you, and speak a few rules to you. I cannot have mess upon my journey, so let me just set down the law very quickly.

{Rules}
-I (Eternity) am the creator and ruler of this rp.
-This is going to be mature, meaning that I want mature roleplayers. By mature, I mean that I don't want little kids running around with pokemon toys in this rp. I will murder anyone like that. I'm talking about roleplayers who can handle violence, puzzles, and serious scenarios.
-If it gets out of hand, take it to PMs, and you know what I mean.
-Post at LEAST 3 good paragraphs, or 250 words minimum.
-Try your best at grammar and spelling. I will correct you at times if you do bad, not because I'm a critic, but because I'd like to help a little.
-Have fun, while still obeying all RPG rules.





Lastly, I need to know who you are. I cannot travel with strangers. So, before we set off, tell me who you are, where you are from, and a little about yourselves. I'm interested in knowing just what kind of people came forth to my call for help and hope.

{Character Upkeep}

Name: Eko La Croix (pronounced "Echo La Croy")
Age: 22
Gender: female
Race: Human
Social Class: Noble
Fighting Class: Red Mage
Weapon(s):
-Baiame Spear
Magic:
-Cure

Home Territory: Baiame

Appearance:


Brief Personality:
Eko is a kind and generous woman, though surely an enigmatic one. She's the kind of person who loves puzzles and adventure, and will do anything to keep herself from boredom. When it comes to being a person, she is social and compassionate; and loves to keep things rolling. But as a leader, she is strong-willed, and kind. Yet she rules with an iron fist of justice, and seems to create a lot of peace for Baiame and surrounding territories. Gentle might be another word for her, but that is far beneath the tough almost tomboyish exterior.

Bio:
Eko was born and raised in the high class center of Baiame. She was raised by her father- seeing as how her mother was killed during childbirth. Her father took care of her, and raised her to be strong. Because no male heir was born, Eko was meant to marry off for a ruler. But when her father grew sick along the age of 13, it was decided that she would be the first female to rule within the last couple of decades amongst the human Territories.

As she progressed through her teen years, she matured very quickly, and gained the trust of her people immediately. She set out to learn all she could about the world, about the people, and about the fables. It was also in her years between 14 and 18 that she met and grew on Ryu Olin Solice IV. He became her best friend, and taught her a lot about fighting. As she grew older, they grew apart. Her need to be a better leader to her people became the number one thing to her, and so she let the friendship fade.

By the coming of her current age, the territory and her people had become the most important thing to her. Now they that are in danger, she finds herself ready to satiate her taste for adventure, and save the world; as well as kill Dyablo, the Dark Lord. Which would mean saving the world and preventing Ryu's takeover.

Sounded nice, so she set out a call. All who dare to brave these wicked lands of the despairing Elysium, come. Come, and fight!

Other: None.

~Savior: to be found out later

Home Territory: Originally lived in Dea Tacita, home of the Celestials

Appearance:


Summary: An ominous and mysterious character who pops up at times. She appears to be a Nyxi without the tail, for she is originally a Celestial or "Dream Demon".

Once she was the protector and creator of the heaven, Avaiki, she is now unknown of. Missing, persay. Many say that she is buried and dying. Others say she is hiding. Other rumors mention her as being fierce in appearance after billions of years of neglect. It is whispered that she is the reason the Immortals disappeared; having feasted on them to keep herself alive.

Gender: male
Race: Dark Lord

Appearance:

Full sized pic

Name: Ryu Olin Solice IV
Age: 26
Gender: male
Race: Human

Appearance:


Summary: The Noble of Orcus, as well another lead antagonist. He who has struck up a bargain with Dyablo. If he can conquer the other territories and clear off the land, Ryu will be rewarded with the famed Immortality that comes from drinking the God's blood.





Name: Persephone / "Seph"
Age: 24
Gender: female
Race: Omen

Appearance:


Summary: This unique character seems to pop up every now and then, but isn't apparently a Celestial. She is instead a curious spy for Ryu who is walking the line between leaving his side and staying. She dwindles on this line and offers tidbits of info about Ryu's growing forces, but as well poses a threat to the small squad Eko has created.

{Plotline}

In Elysium, the world is going under. But this realization- far overdue- only comes about when Ryu Solace begins to strike up a bargain with Dyablo, the King of the Unholy Lands, going by such names as the Dark Lord. So in hopes of keeping Ryu from immortality and her people from death, Eko La Croix has gone out to race against time to find him and stop Ryu, with a group that comes to aid her call for help.

Later in the story, as things go, other such events will unfold as to why the Heavens have no leader, and why Elysa, Goddess of Elysium, has begun to set her world into stone depths of darkness and great floods of sorrow.

It explains a lot about the several plains (such as Avernus, the Unholy Lands), as well as the disappearance of Immortals, the Goddess herself, and even the birth of Dyablo.

I must say Eternity, I love the thought and effort you put into your RPs. Count me in.

Name: Lathus Gyssemitore
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race: Nyxi
Social Class: Lower Class
Fighting Class: Thief
Weapon(s):
Compound Bow
Longsword (Seen in image for appearance.)
Trench Knife
Magic:
-Telepathy

Home Territory: Baiame

Appearance:


Brief Personality: Lathus has the sort of poker face that gamblers everywhere envy, which pairs perfectly with his ability to lie seamlessly. These traits lend themselves perfectly at passing the blame for his passion of misdirecting people and performing a myriad of practical jokes. Whereas stealing is a way to provide for his basic needs, mischief is his primary form of entertainment; he lives to see the reactions of his victims. Lathus’ actions are well calculated to be both efficient and flawlessly timed whenever possible, he does not lend himself well to impulsive decisions. Despite his lighthearted nature, it isn’t uncommon for him to get on the nerves of other people at times due do his skepticism, sarcastic comments, and foolish games. Despite whatever hostility he incurs from his friends, Lathus is always willing to apologize or forgive and will remain unyieldingly loyal to them.

Bio: Lathus was born in a large lower class family where the females were typically servants of high-middle class while the males commonly worked in the factories. His family wasn’t large in the sense of having several brothers and sisters, Lathus is actually an only child, but it is large in the sense that his relatives formed a sort of commune. In all, he had seven sets of aunts and uncles with cousins numbering in the mid-twenties all living in a two-story duplex. Homeschooling was his only form of education, but the knowledge the Gyssemitore women gained by working for higher society ensured it was well rounded and extensive as compared to most lower-class families.

Once he was old enough for employment, he began what was a very short career in industrial manufacturing. After a week, Lathus became restless of the monotony and promptly quit. This decision was not received well by the family as he was pressed to find some other method of “carrying his weight.” After several dead-end jobs, he stumbled across a small group of thieves and convinced them to show young Lathus the trade. Having grown up in such a cramped living environment helped him to excel at blending into crowds and otherwise hiding in plain sight. By the time he was nineteen, he had become an expert of the craft of sleight-of-hand and pick pocketing. Despite his skill, Lathus stuck to a moral code that dissuaded him from stealing from the less fortunate and only take as much as he needed rather than however much he wanted. This code kept him out of the sight of the law and out of prison.

When he was twenty, his group of colleagues decided to go for “a big score” that would ensure their financial security for several years. Lathus did not involve himself with this heist since it went against his beliefs, which was fortunate considering that the plan failed and all parties involved were locked away for several years. Despite pleas from his friends to find a way to sneak them out, he was determined never to cross the line from petty crook to full-fledged criminal and solemnly denied their request. For the next year, he continued his work solo and did quite well for himself; that is until his family finally discovered his true career as a thief. The resulting fallout left him exiled from his household, forcing him to live on his own without the support of his family.

Eager to clean the stain he put on his family name, he set out to find a noble cause in which he could lend his talents and prove his worth. It wasn’t long before he caught wind of a noble in search of brave adventurers to protect the country which he inhabited.

Name: Fael'taire Volidaermos
Age: Appears late twenties.
Gender: Male
Race: Dove
Social Class: Upper Class
Fighting Class: Warrior
Weapon(s): Staff and Darts
Magic: Light/Dark shield, healing touch
Home Territory: Xiru'ki
Appearance:

Brief Personality: Fael'taire is often silent and serious, rarely speaking unless it is of the utmost importance and never laughing even at the most humorous of odds. He is deeply religious, but will gladly lend his Bascule to any truly righteous cause. This Dove is slow to trust others, but when he does so, he will willingly give his life for a friend.
Bio: Born to a clan of Doves that had vowed their lives to protecting the sacred Xiru'ki region, Fael'taire was raised from birth to be a warrior-priest of the Upper Temple Knights, a religious order that protects the few shrines left in Xiru'ki. Over the past few years, the Order has been victim of organized attacks by bands of Omens. Hearing of Lady Eko La Croix's call, Fael'taire vows to lead his blade to her cause.

Loki is accepted.

Bird of Hermes: Everything looks fine, I said nothing too anime, but your picture works :3

So, everyone is Accepted

Bird of Hermes: Everything looks fine, I said nothing too anime, but your picture works :3

I figured since his eyes weren't that big he'd be fine.

Approved babe. I know Gunneh is making a profile. After that, perhaps, I'll think of opening it up. Maybe a female character though? If no one applies as a female, that'll be fine. I've got a bunch of charries of my own to toss into this thing. Not even half of them are up yet.

Other:

I changed my weapons slightly. Kept the bow, but replaced the dual daggers for a long sword and a knife. Is that acceptable?

Yeah no problem babe. Another person or two and we'll be ready to begin. I believe I'm waiting on Hank, and then another character (or not) and I'll be ready to set this shindig on the road.

Name: Alexis Nuvallis
Age: 20
Gender: female
Race: Nyxi
Social Class: Low Class / Working Class
Fighting Class: Thief / Hand-to-Hand
Weapon(s):
-Metal Claws [metal rings that attach to the finger and protrude over the nail as sharp pointed claws- extend about two inches from fingertip]
-Katana [black katana as seen in picture. Was bought from a passing salesman and isn't used very often]
Magic:

Home Territory: Vanth

Appearance:

Full sized pic

Brief Personality: Alexis is the tough kind of woman that you don't want to stumble up on when she's having a bad day. This Nyxi redefines bad attitude and temptation all at the same time. She wears little to nothing and flaunts her full, gorgeous figure, while at the same time staying ready to snap at anyone who makes a good comment to her. She is somewhat rough and violent when it comes to resolving her problems, but is more often collected enough to sit back with a caustic attitude that tends to get her in trouble. Beneath it all she is a good ally and friend though.

Bio: She was born in Orcus, the leading nation in technology. But when Ryu became leader, she- who had her own reasons for despising him on her peoples' behalf- left the country. She was about seven when she hopped on a train to Vanth, land of the metals. She had no idea where she was going, but she was going there fast.
-
For the next set decade of her life, she was taught the skills of mechanics and steam powered machinery. Alexis became a top-notch thief and engineer for Vanth, and a miner as well. She grew tough and gained her bad attitude from a lot of the rough-n-tumble boys that worked at Vanth alongside her.
-
After a few years, she had moved on to Gehenna, the marketplace, to begin selling her wares. It was then that she heard word of Eko's offer from Baiame, and decided to join if only for the ability to pick up on different wares around the world and explore cultural differences in machinery and item synthesis.

Other:
-Her left eye has a scar running from the eyebrow down to the very top of her cheek bone. The eye itself is cut, which is obvious by the fogged over nature of her serene blue hue that bears a jagged white crest in it as well as a cracked pupil. She tends to wear an eye-patch because of this.

Ic is now UP. This is still open for at least two more character. That character is supposedly taken by HJW and Raptorman. If not taken in two days, I will open it up for someone else.

Wait a minute I believe I had a spot.

I just take a while sometimes to make the characters

Question: What sort of limitations/requirements are there for the Nyxi's telepathy ability? Is it something that is always active as though they are listening to another speak, can be easily called upon when desired, or does it require time and a magic spell to activate?

Depends on the Nyxi. Some who are more mage-like can tend to cast out their telepathic abilities into a long range and keep it open. But most, such as your character, probably keep it turned off. Also, for a more hunter-like Nyxi, the ability is one that has a range on it, of say, fifteen feet. After that, it can still be used, but thoughts become blurry and whispered, harder to understand.

Name: Xil-Xial, Lord of Fate, Trickster
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Race: godling/ascended celestial
Fighting Class: Mage/Thief
Weapon(s): None
Magic: To be known later

Home Territory:Yamaraja

Appearance:


Summary:
A strange being that seems to be left over from a time long ago, the fabled Trickster, the subject of numerous legends among the common people. Xil-Xial apparently knows much more than most and his plotting schemes know no bounds. Rumors of his continued existence still circulate even if none know that it is he that remains. From within his hidden places he watches and occasionally tweaks the strings of the great pattern.

Accepted.

Now, everyone, go forth and post me some good f***ing posts!!!!!

I changed the picture to something less anime-esque for you.

I like it

Jesus Christ. You people can be wordy. Eternity's last post is a monster.

I feel so bad that my post was so small. I will have to push myself to make a post that big.

Hahaha! Talking about wordy, Gunneh's last post just skimmed by the post length requirement lol.

Don't worry about it. You have to remember, I'm controlling two characters at this point, while as well I led everyone to their rooms and gave out directions or possibilities to help influence the rest of you to post interesting things in the mean time while at the manor. That is how my post became a monster lol

I have recently posted a few new areas that will be available for travel when the journey begins. I will try to draw up a map for us, but I doubt it will happen this weekend. Just check in occasionally to see if I've added anything new to the first post.

Nice Post Bird of Hermes!

Yes. I managed to draw out getting out of bed and walking down the stairs to a suitable length.

Though, I didn't want to get him in the main room just yet. I am afraid the Nyxi already there might find him a bit laughable and, since she will have plenty of time on the way to toy with him and his poor boy-scout heroics, I don't want him to he so scarred just yet.

Name: Illerin
Age: 20
Gender: male
Race: human
Social Class: low, degenerate gambler, calls himself a priest of fate, he knows a little magic he tricked a mage into teaching him.
Fighting Class: Thief
Weapon(s): a long thin blade with the words "Luck and Fate" engraved in it.
Magic: Just enough to make himself a little dim and to make things move from one place to another. Peoples valuables have a way of ending up in his pockets.

Home Territory: Versai

Appearance: Illerin is a tall man that moves stiffly and inelegantly hinting at his in many ways horrible physical condition. His skin which he almost never shows is covered in massive raised and painful keloid scars. He wears a light silken black robe that has several layers so that if it does tear he still will be hidden. His robes are made of silk because he has found that silk irritates his horribly disfigured and damaged skin less than any other material. He always wears black silken gloves as well and though they do hurt terribly he prefers to wear them regardless. His mask is also made from the silken material and is composed of two pieces. One piece covers his eyes and upper face. The other covers his nose and mouth. This second piece can be detached so that when he needs to eat he can eat.

Spoiler:

Brief Personality: Illerin is scarred both emotionally and physically from horrible ordeal he went through as a child. He feels emotions more strongly then a normal person and goes to great lengths to hide his emotions so as to keep his perfectly calm emotionless demeanor. When his emotions get the better of him he erupts and it is not pleasant to be near him.

Bio: Illerin was born in versai to a middle class family. His family was one of those families that never seemed to do either well or poorly. One of those no account families that everyone knows but no one cares about. Illerin had a normal childhood, or at least what passed for normal in modern elisium. When he turned 11 though things took a drastic turn for the worst. His family's house caught fire. It burned to the ground killing off his parents and his brothers. He was the only one left, by a freak chance he had survived.

He was burnt black and his skin charred but he didn't die and in time he healed. His body though was a mass of white keloid scars and he was hideous to behold. Out of courtesy some of the people in his town made for him the clothing he now wears. The mask he made himself a few years later. After the incident and his families death, he no longer had a home and he had never learned a trade. He bounced around for a while and learned a little here and a little there but never seemed to fit in. Eventually he found himself seeing lines connecting everything. Faint lines that he could see but never touch. Lines that linked events to each other.

He used that to win more money gambling because he could know what number would come up next. He took advantage of his gift and his curse. He has now for a long time simply wandered.

Other: Illerin's body is covered in masses of scar tissue and burn damage. He always hides every feature of his body within his custom tailored garments and the Mask he wears all the time even when eating. At least as much as he can.

Approved. You already know the deal of how I'll bring you in.

Waiting on Loki to post, then I'll kick this thing into gear and get us moving.

Almost done, will have it up in half an hour or so.

YAY and tomorrow, I'll go on and get us out and to Gehenna.

Posted.

I must admit, I am having a lot of fun with this character.

Sorry for the excessive length of this last post. I've just finished a 14 hour car ride that left me A LOT of time to let my mind wander. It was only a matter of time before it came across this RP and left me with several things that I wanted to include in my post.
