If your not involved, or don't plan to be in future years, don't worry about it . :-)

May I make my post for the new Kain? Seeing as he will be teaching. How did you make those? What programs, because I have an idea of what I can do. Unfortunatly, my pictures are a little....low? So I might have to work something out.

Oh yes, and Kain Irenicus has been replaced by this profile. damn it all, I keep losing all of my post counts! I have around 5000 in total! Gah, damn it all. I could not use kain Shentavo again.....and I might introudce more charactrs now (in fact I will), so I decided on this name. Just informing you tis all. :D

Way to mispell my own profile name. THIS is the one.

Sure Kain, go ahead. you most probably will become a staff member.

How did you make that though? Using what program?

paint lol

Funny as hell if Joshua joined the staff. I can see it now aswell.

I love this story, yet I usually get lost each time I try to participate...

Strange... Qui looks EXACTLY like my leader. Imagine that... :lol:

Funny as hell if Joshua joined the staff. I can see it now aswell.
Ha! good luck getting that by Qui. Rave might think differently, and might do it just to piss him off. :-D

Yea it would,and I'll be betting again on see who wins

As you quietly enter a small, dim lit room, you notice a mahogany desk in the center of the room. Its craftsmanship is remarkable, and you’re sure you have never seen anything like it. You run your fingertips over the glossy top, and your hand falls upon a book. You sit down in the leather chair and lean back, taking an apple which was upon the desk and taking a bite. As you bite through the crimson skin of the apple. The inside looks as though it were dipped in wine, a splendid display as it tapered into a pure white. You know you were not supposed to be there, but curiosity often gets the better of you. What could one little peek hurt? It was just a book. You turn the page, and discover but a few words.

“Esse Quam Verdi.” It could easily be translated as “To be rather than to seem.” It was a simple phrase, but you figured it would be explained through out this person’s journal. You are intrigued, and follow to the next, which answers your question.

“My name is Azrael, my given name: Ravelyn Shentavo.” It began. You’ve heard bits and clips about her, but you never really knew what was going on in her world. You’re curiosity leads you on, and you take another bite of the apple.

“It’s been twenty three days since my escape. I had never realized what these humans were capable of. Some of them are vile and corrupted; and that is the only kind I have been taught of in this world. They said I was brought into this world for destruction. I was supposed to train and become the ultimate weapon against foreign nations in assassinations of their leaders and government. Why do they create so many things only to use them to destroy others? It makes me wonder why they do it.”

“When I woke up, I was submerged in this liquid. I’m not sure how long I was there, but I knew I was always being watched. Gathering all possibly energy in my fragile state, I broke through the glass that entrapped me. I, however, was quickly caught. Apparently they hadn’t been expecting that. When they saw what was upon my back, my wings, they really weren’t expecting that. “She wasn’t supposed to have a soul!” they said. They spoke as if I was not there. I was taken into a room and chained, rather strapped with chains to an observance table. What drove me to my question on human nature is what they did next. Everyday more and more tests were done. They burned and slashed my skin, seeing it heal over and over again and writing notes on their damn little clip board. I just wanted to leave, to escape.”

“Apparently there were other beings that had heard of a seraphim’s arrival upon this world, and had broken into the research facility. I, then, saw my chance. Escaping with a man named Adam’s help; I spread my wings for the first time in this realm, and cast to a land. The lab lay in ruins as others were disappointed to find that I was not there. I wonder what things would be like now if Adam hadn’t been there.”

“I found myself stricken with a sort of amnesia. It wasn’t that I didn’t know who I was; it was that I didn’t quite remember why I was. Why had I taken to this physical realm of pain and corruption? Was there nothing good in this world? Why the hell was I there? The answer to that lay in later times, which I would discover many moons later.”

“I walk along the beach everyday, looking for someone to help me. There is no one I have encountered until this day. He said his name was Daja, Daja Desuray. He helped me to stand from my weakened form, and gave me comfort and hospitality. There was another there too, Corothisia. The two seemed to bicker a lot, and many times I thought of leaving. However, I had no where to go, and it seemed they were the only two on this God forsaken place. I should have left.”

“I should have seen his motives before. The blood of seraphim; a high prize to the winner. “Which one can get to her neck first?” Apparently, as I found out, both were vampires, and both were of ancient rank. It shook me a little, but I chose not to let it bother me. Daja became the closest to me, getting everything I needed to regain my health. However one night, a night which I wished I could forget, his carnal desires over swept him. I could not resist, he was very much the stronger out of the two, even with my angelic heritage (for I was still very weak). After, I was taken into his embrace, and given the dark gift.”

“Mortal and vampiric bloodlines mix together, the blood of a vampire being dominant and causing the change. The bloodlines of an angel and a vampire were an entirely different story. There was a constant battle raging inside of me, one of which I did not want to fight. I hated him for this curse; I swore I would hate him for eternity. This gift though, was something so much more. It became part of me, and I used it to my advantage. I would not feed off humans, only my sire. I found it the best way to keep my darker side at bay.”

“From that night, I bore a son named Qui. He had quite a powerful mind at such a young age. When I was taken, I had been a pure angel. I found out that he would have the same problem as I would; a battle between the sides. I was surprised to find out that he did not. The vampiric side dominated completely. Maybe it was because he did not have the soul of an angel, I could not be sure.”

“Many decades later, Daja left me. I walked along the beach, hoping for a return, but found none. I had realized that I no longer needed my sire to survive, I had needed his guidance. I trained Qui by myself, the child’s intelligence remarkable. He had the same disposition as I against Daja. Who could blame him? He gave no sign of leaving, just simply left. Part of me was grateful, and part of me wanted to be under the protection of my sire.”

“I had realized at that point, that I was not weak as he had taught me. I learned a great deal after he left. I left to train each day, every week a different style of fighting. All I had was time, why not perfect my skills? What I learned, I taught to my son, though held a lot of the information back from him. He wished to learn his own way. Though he looked nineteen, it was clear behind his dark eyes that he had more years than a human’s lifespan within him at that time.”

“After perfecting what I saw as sufficient, I focused my mind on the Arcane arts. This sparked some interest in my son as well; however he was not interested in elementality, but rather his own style. Something he called manipulation. I began to realize how strong his mind was, but I was much competition against it. I was growing stronger ever day. I took up a liking to fire elementality. It became one of my majors in life. My son, however, took up lighting. Apparently he liked electricity more than heat. I let him go off and do what he pleased. He could take care of himself now. That I became sure of. I loved sparring with him, though the majority of the times I won, he never quit. He kept pushing, and developed quite the attitude.”

“I later took up a protégée named Genesis Versai. She was a willing girl, and there were many things I could teach her. She was an apprentice as a psion at the time, and her mind was strong. I took her under my wing, and later turned her at her request. She became my fledgling and I her mentor. The difference between me and other sires is I don’t leave my fledglings. I teach them…and I always have something to teach, so they stay with me for quite a long time. They take their trips, but they always come back to me. I developed a special bond between Genesis and I. She was faithful and diligent, and to my surprise, had taken up more angelic personality traits and qualities than my son, even in being a full blooded vampire. I then realized it’s how you were trained that makes the difference. I trained myself.”

“Years passed, and we watched race and species fall before us, yet we survived. Not before long, our clan grew. Seth, a courageous heart and a quick fist. Seni, a healer and of the quiet sort. Mar, the youngest and most headstrong of the lot. Qui had even taken up his own fledgling; Kenja. The clan was a strong one. No others were taken for quite a long time, and through all of this, they looked to me.”

You’re hooked now, and you take another bite of the apple, nearing it halfway. You’ve skimmed over two millennia of events. Some pages are torn out in between, and you slightly wonder what happened to them. Time seems to skip in a few places for quite a long while. No matter, you want to find out what’s behind this angel.

“I attained the rank of ancient long ago, and my son is now nearing it as well. Genesis is as well on her way. I see the days go by before me, and wished I could stop one more moment and pause to take a look around me. All I had was time right?”

Strange…it seemed that many years had passed between her escape and the meeting of her sire, though she said twenty three days, you wonder if it was twenty three years. You take another bite of the apple, and wish there was another upon the desk. You decide to finish this first and then take a look. You realize there are many pages torn out between the last entry and the one after.

“I started an Academy. The Shentavo Academy. I wanted to train those in the arts I have learned over the passing eras. I would welcome any with heart and uniqueness, and protect them with my life. My name had become known and was spoken frequently in hushed tones. The leader of a nation that was rarely seen is hard to have faith in. But my people managed very well, because I had grown up among them. My years on the front of fighting…”

Must have torn that out….why?

“They respected me, and know I was well to lead them. Qui had developed quite the attitude. He had stopped aging at the appearance of twenty seven, and had taken up teaching manipulations. He developed quite a dislike for a student named Joshua, whom had taken an interest in his neonate, Kenja. What shook me even more was that I knew Joshua’s very distant ancestor. His ancestor was Adam.”

What? Was it all a coincidence? You take another bite of the apple, and you start to feel the hunger dissipate. Thank God! You had been quite hungry from all the snooping around.

“It seems my family has interest in others now. Genesis has, as I am informed, taken a liking to a human named Jeremy Witz, from Underaloz or something like that. She was driven out of a bar in reaction to someone named Eclipse Ravenstar…from Haraki I am informed. Seth had taken quite a liking to Eclipse having helped her and murdered one who attempted to kill her. What a drama this has become. Genesis, at least, has gotten over her hard feelings of Eclipse. I wish I could say the same for Seth.”

O_O; you blink several times, noticing an innuendo in that last sentence. But you didn’t get it the first time really, so you re read it. It seems the angel has a sense of humor.

“I met Jeremey in a café. Had to make sure he was worthy, right? It seemed that his boss was there as well. Michael Vaughn…or something like that. I can’t stand him. Genesis swears that we will end up killing each other with the bickering. Genesis and Witz are going on vacation. It’s good for the girl, and Jeremey seems nice enough. Genesis drops Michael an invitation to stop by the academy. I was then ready to kill my fledgling after that one.”

So, does she end up killing Vaughn? You wonder to yourself.

“I parted from him at the café, not quite knowing what to expect except that I would most probably end up strangling him should he come to the academy.”

So, does she end up strangling Vaughn? You wonder. You look at the binding, showing that pages had been torn out after that entry, many pages. Why the hell was there so much of her life torn out of this journal?

“He stopped by the academy, and I must admit I was glad to see him. He had another side of him you know? Well, literally another side, but I had yet to discover that. It was one night that you would never hear us fight… I was swimming in the pool at the academy at midnight. There were no students around, and it was the only time I got piece and quite to myself. I climbed out and closed my eyes. I heard someone behind me, and turned around. A slight smile comes to my face though I try and suppress it.”

So she’s smiling now? I wish I knew what were in those torn out pages…you think to yourself again. And behold! More torn out pages.

“I was so happy. I woke up and laid my head upon his chest, and sighed as he still slept. He woke up with a smile, and looked at me. “Hello beautiful,” he said as he always said to me. I slipped out of my bed, and looked at the time. I immediately got dressed though in a hurry. “I’m going to be late for the awards ceremony…” I say to him a smile upon my face. He knew I wasn’t upset. He knew every one of my thoughts. He got out and held me as I cast my vision to the mirror before me. It took us quite a while to get to the door, and down the stairs. We did, and the ceremony proceeded as it should.”

Aww great…more pages missing.

“I find it hard to believe. I want to tell Genesis, but she’s away on vacation. My son could care less; he seems indifferent to most things. I contact her. “Have you killed him yet?” She asked me with a laugh. “I’m engaged to him,” I replied with a laugh of my own. Every second with him was like one in heaven. I loved him so much, and he loved me. We were meant to be together.”

O_O you take another bite of the apple, and more time passes as the pages are torn out more frequently.

“I will pass over the barrier to get him back. He sacrificed himself for me as I did for him.”

When did this happen? These are clips, the details are torn out.

“The time has come for me. Mephistopheles is rising, and on my land. I realize why I am here. It is to cast him back into the hell where he belongs. I must reveal myself to my kin, they know not of my rank; seraphim. My true name was spoken in whispers only amongst a trusted few…”

“I met him after my death. I saw him there…”

You died?

“Our paths separated… and I was revived.”

Great, another torn out page.

“Renewed as half demon, Sage Versai. I was found by Seth, and memories restored to me. My daughter, Sarah, was there with me the entire time. My son had problems of his own. He had become unbalanced, and broken wings were upon his back. He was vicious, but inherited my angelic qualities. This was bound to happen sooner or later, but my death triggered it.”

“I will never stop looking for him. I know he will find his way along the path, and his way back to me…I really hope he does. I don’t know how much longer I can last. I need him…Sarah needs him.”

These torn pages are getting annoying. You think to yourself, and begin to finish off the apple.

“Kenja has been slaughtered by Qui, her own sire. There was nothing I could do. I needed to be restored. The three Veruki left under my charge; Kade, Aurora, and Zodiac. They were the triad, and held the key.”

You come to the last entry, and throw the rest of the apple in the trash.

“I have been restored, my fangs returned to me, as well as many other things. I find it now in my time to accept Kain back into the clan, despite my son’s wishes. He has sired Katarina, and I can see his desire in his eyes. Witz has come to visit Genesis, and Sarah is staying here as well. Seems it has become a haven. I sense something is terribly wrong…my son has challenged me. I think it time now I accept his challenge…”

You turn another page, finding a bit more.

“I would let you out with all this information; however you see…the chemicals in that apple you just consumed are slowing your heart right now…in a few minutes, you will not be able to breathe. I will find you, and then question you after healing. You really shouldn’t touch other’s things…especially Azrael’s journal.”

You stare blankly for several seconds, you try to stand, but you can’t. You’re chest hurts. You see someone’s figure in the doorway. It is a beautiful woman with long dark auburn hair and crimson eyes. You then go unconscious.

Heh sounds like fun Joshua lives for making Qui's life hell it seems

That it does. It' s just really funny to compare the two, and then have Joshua annoy the hell out of Qui without even trying.

Joshua jsut has to breath to annoy Qui and bring up Kenja does the worst.

OOC: nice background story on Rave, Rave lol, I like it a lot.

IC:

Staring up at the approaching woman...eyes widening slightly as she nears, a part scowl, part smirk upon her face. She is recognized as Rave...

I whisper, "Rave...no.........."

**passes out, body slumps slightly**

lol. It wasn't really IC...i just wanted to make it interesting to read lol

*******smacks forehead***********


"D'OH!"

As your vision comes back, the angel is gone. Maybe it was all a mistake...but you rise to find yourself in the same room.
You are healed now, best not spread this information. Look around...I'll be waiting for you.

It couldn't be! She just spoke to you! Her voice was soothing, but you never thought you'd hear it inside your head.

You shrug. Maybe you were crazy, you don't know. you look around and find a picture upon the desk. It's of two people. Wait a minute...Rave?!

Pic is a no go

http://www.freewebs.com/jezzergizzy/Kain%20Shentavo.JPG

Full name: Kain Shentavo

Height: 5"7
Hair: White (can appear silver)
Eyes: Brown
Rank: AM Teacher, Neonate
Additional: A calm being, one who takes infinate time over all things, as if he has all the time in the world to simply stare at things. Seems very religous. He speaks with a slow sophisticated voice, one which sounds slightly French...or with hints of Latin within his heritage, soft-spoken. A man with great experiance behind him, yet few trully know the truth behind it.

Qui: So do you have a problem with me Kain? *the +6" tall ancient walks past with a laugh* :-P I like it Kain...:-D

Thanks Rave , it took me a while. :D I used Powerpoint, I find it way easier than paint. "Keep pushing Qui. Keep pushing?"

Qui: Alright *pushes Kain over* That good? *stalks off*
:roll:

*falls over*

*plots stealing Qui's brass knuckles* :)

Joshua:*just shakes his head at the two and plots on making Qui's life hell again for sport*

Heh funny if Joshua made annoying Qui a sport

The only way your skin touching my brass knuckles is if it's connecting with your face... :-D same with you Joshua...
:twisted:

double post...

Joshuua:And there I though you forgot about me. I feel so lovedd

It is Rave you think to yourself, running your hand over the edge of the picture. And that man, who was that man? You couldn't be sure, his back was turned to you, he seemed to have blonde hair however, perhaps this was the Vaughn she had spoken of.

You sigh softly to yourself. What other information could be held within her study. You look to a rather large book case, your fingertips wiping off the dust of the spines of the many books; Enoch, Enchantments, History...of the world?! Translations, Ancient Texts...there were so many books, each looking old as if it were printed thousands of years ago. Some were not in a recognizable language. You think to yourself where she has aquired all this knowledge, and if she has read every single one of these books. All she had was time right? You then remember how long she had been here, and you realize that she most probably had time to read these books many times over.

Wow... this is wicked cool.

Lol, maybe its time for some of my characters to go to school :wink:

maybe next year :-P

Thanks Rave for letting me do this! :D
