NationStates Jolt Archive

One thing to note about me is, if I’m nothing else when it comes to NationStates, I’m nostalgic. Looking through all my RP’s in the archives, I was astonished to see how much my writing has grown through the years. However, the more I looked at my older stuff, the more upset I became at their quality when compared to say, Realm of the Risen II or my Civil War.

Back in the day, my main character was a man named Rei Warheit. He was an Aural, the last of a dying race, and was the focus of two RP’s. The first one, “A man is a god in ruins…” lasted from October 25, 2003 to November 8, 2003. The second, titled “Ardente Veritatis, Urite Mala Mundi,” began only two days after the first let off, on November 10, 2003, and lasted until December 12, of the same year.

Now, more than two years later, I realized that aside from a cameo in my Civil War Saga, Warheit has been hidden in the shadows for far too long. That is why, as soon as the plot and characters are finalized, Rei Warheit will be making his triumphant return in my new RP, Wasteland.

I have contacted all the former RPers who had worked with Warheit in the past, and I can only hope that they are able to join in once more. I am also looking for some new RPers who are interested in RPing in a full fantasy environment. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them here, and if you have any question about my RPing credentials, look at 'em in the archives or click on the links in my sig.

When you say full fantasy enviroment, what exactly do you mean?
What kind of RP will it be?
Could you provide a bit of info on Rei?
Do you want in-detail posting in the RP?
What kind of characters would fit into the theme?

Tag! This looks/sounds good.

I'll admit I don't have the highest post count here, but I'm not new to RPing. Most of what I write is over my regional forums. (new region and former region) If you need some RP credentials of that I can provide some links.

When you say full fantasy enviroment, what exactly do you mean?
What kind of RP will it be?
Could you provide a bit of info on Rei?
Do you want in-detail posting in the RP?
What kind of characters would fit into the theme?

1. It's more of just flowery language for the advertisement, but just to be certain, the setting of this RP will not be Steel Butterfly, a far-future tech nation. Instead it will be a "stand-alone" setting in which the fantasy elements of the Aural race exist.

2. It will be a character-oriented, plot-driven RP in the same spirit of my previous RP's. Check the Realm of the Risens and The Civil War saga in the archives, and check the more recent ones if you will.

3. The best way to get info on Rei is to read the previous two entries in the Warheit saga, although they are, as I said, quite dated as of now. If you browse through the second and third threads of my Civil War you'll see his character, but in the meantime I'll start working on a comprehensive bio.

4. I'm not quite sure what you mean about in-detail posting, but if you read my current works (one is in my sig, other are in the archives) that is the kind of posting I desire.

5. There would be a good number of different characters that fit into the theme of Wasteland. From elite fantasy characters to typical humans to something in between, the Warheit saga has always had a loose "mostly anything goes" rule to who takes place. It's not meant to be realistic in the real world, only realistic in the world in which it takes place.

I have a character that would certainly fit into such a setting. He's a demon/angel roaming around the mortal realms with the intention of finding balance within himself... he's finding it difficult to say the least.

The character is under my other nation 'Arithon'.

Steel Butterfly, I remember seeing your threads alot but never RPing with you because of your future tech status. I am not as in depth as you with my posts but I might be interested in joining if a team of modern day special forces would fit in. I'm not sure if they would be killed too quickly or what. If so just let me know.

I am interested.

I'm up for this if you'll have me. I do remember Warheit, it was two years ago? Doesn't seem that long ago.

3. Let me state for the fifth or so time that those are hard reads, due to how I wrote differently then as opposed to now. If you'd rather, Dissension Of A Weary Core (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=334413&page=1&pp=15), the third thread in my Civil War Saga is much, much better in quality. All you'd have to do to find Warheit sections would be breeze through the posts until you come across the Sephiroth avatar, since Rei Warheit looks shockingly like the dude from FF7. :D Actually, if I get the time, I might go and post some of the sections...although they'd be out of context.

5. Yep, although nothing too outrageous and I want the in-fighting kept to an absolute minimum. I don't want any "my character is better than your's" shit.

Without anything more than the basic plot in my head, it'd be honestly hard for me to tell you, but this entire RP is going to be supernatural to the extreme, and I think a purely modern-tech team would seem a little out of place. I'll think about it...but ultimately it's up to you.

lol, good point

One last question, and a comment.
Could you provide a character template?

Also a modern tech could get there/be in the fantasy world as a result of an military experiment in teleportation(or someother sciencey dohicky) which caused them to arrive in fantasy world.

Here are posts from Dissension Of A Weary Core (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=334413&page=1&pp=15) that Warheit is in...or Aurals are involved in...for those who are eternally lazy.

Rei gazed upon the rubble, his long silver hair and black leather standing out among the browns of the Industrial Sector, where sunlight never dared to enter. No, the Industrial Sector was buried under two other districts, built right on top of each other. The illusion of the white sky was just that...it wasn't real. Instead, the smoke from the buildings and the lights guiding the way of the weary people came together to give the people guidance, sight, and lung disease.

He would leave tonight, as quickly and as quietly as he came...but first he needed something. Searching for nearly five years now, Rei finally stumbled upon fragments of the history of his race...and they all pointed to a certain temple. The location of that temple would be documented in the Imperial Library, for it was said to be disguised, and not obviously Aural. Rei realized that one fact alone is the reason it's still standing, where ever it is.

The guards approached him, but one by one became distracted. It was a neat ability, and he used it shamelessly. Rei himself was a relic, the last lifeform of a race thought to be extinct. The government knew of his existance, knew that he knew too much...but he had a damn good knack for slipping through their fingers...vanishing from their view.

Rei entered the library from its basement and searched for hours for a location of the temple. Suddenly, it became clear. He would have to go to Aeisis. Staring up at the Imperial Palace from the library window, watching its forcefield glimmer in the sunlight, Rei felt sad for a moment. At one time he was the Empire's brightest star...and now what was he...a murderer? A traitor?

No, he told himself, they were the traitors...and now some of the other humans had finally realized it. The Empire had slipped up once again, yet now they had an enemy who could fight back. Rei shook his head. Damn humans always had to kill something.

They never saw it coming. The move was so daring, so sudden, that the weary defenses of the base were not prepared. An attack like this could not have come from the Empire, and indeed it wasn't. Zephyr's rage had struck again, and this time the Resistance was to pay.

Alexei wiped his face...he had survived! The wreckage was everywhere, surrounding him. He blinked, obviously tired from the ordeal. Lying there, in the field of death, staring at a dark sky with only the dimmest light escaping darkness's grasp, Alexei began to remember the dream. The corpses were mangled, littered across the ground in a mass grave, piled on top of each other.

Frightened at how real this dream now was, Alexei stood, but his feet sliced into the flesh and he sunk down through the bodies until everything was dark. He tried to catch his breath, but he couldn't breath. Struggling among death, he gasped for air to fill his empty lungs, but not even the rotting stench of decay entered his body.

He had thought that he was ready to die, but now, entombed in death, all he wished for was life. Alexei struggled, clawing his way through the bodies, but he was quickly becoming unconcious.

It was then that a hand reached down, through the carnage, and Alexei grabbed hold of it. The man lifted him up, so that he was now face to face with his savior. The fires of the room reflected off the man's silver hair, the flames dancing across the shadows.

"I caught you on sensors," the man stated, his face emotionless. "I'm going to Aeisis...I figure you should go there as well."

"Yeah..." Alexei said, speachless. "I...thank you..."

"Don't mention it," the man said, the sides of his lips curling up in a smile. "We should be going now."

"But what about the others? We need to search for..."

"There are no survivors, Alexei..." the man said.

"I didn't tell you my..."

"Rei Warheit," the man said, stepping into his ship. He turned his head back to Alexei. "In case you were wondering..."

"Keep moving," Rei said as Alexei stared at the statues. Their journey had taken some time, but they were met with little resistance. The Rebels were stretched so thin...

"Where are we?" Alexei asked, walking in circles as he stared at what was above him.

"The Temple of the Gods," Rei replied, his eyes squinting at the sight. The sun was just about set, and he could see the fires already being lit at the abandoned temple. They did that themselves, without any help from the living. This place was holy, and Alexei was not to enter, but Rei had since realized that there was no one left to punish him for his heracy.



"I...I don't understand..." Alexei said, but Rei ignored him, entering the temple. "How is no one here? How didn't anyone find this place?"

"Be quiet," Rei said, concentrating. "You are standing on holy ground."

"Sir...erm...Rei," Alexei questioned. "I know of no people who follow religion. Such things are of the past I had thought..."

"How many people do you know that look like me?" Rei replied, smiling. The grin felt refreshing, but he had work to do.

For so long, Rei had been in doubt about his people. For so long, Rei hadn't known the truth. Now he was close, and he could feel it.

"Why have you brought me here?" Alexei continued. Rei turned around. Perhaps it would be better to tell the man, he thought.

"Alexei," Rei began. "I didn't pick you up on sensors." Alexei stared back, not sure what Rei meant. "Not electronic sensors anyway. I...I felt you, Alexei. I...my people do that. We are in touch with nature...life being part of it." Rei ran his fingers through his long silver hair. "The color should have been a damn givaway. There are no others who have it...anymore at least."

"You're the defector..." Alexei said, finally realizing where he had heard the name Rei Warheit. "The man who tore up the capital...the man who saved Nemerov...so you're saying that...you're not human?"

"Not in the least," Rei replied. "I'm an Aural...and the last of my kind."

"How does that have anything to do with me?" Alexei wanted to know.

"I'm not sure," Rei responded. "But I wouldn't have sensed you if you were normal...something's different about you."

That's for sure... "Why this place?"

"As I told you, this was a Temple for my people. Alexei, you know what happened to the Aurals don't you?"

"N-no...not really..."

"Humans slaughtered them, all of them. NiMBUS Biotechnologies then captured some and experimented on them. That's where..."

"I saw the same thing. They did it with elves...Nienna..." Alexei interrupted. How long had it been since they were together? It wouldn't matter anymore...she was long gone.

"Another species destroyed by humanity," Rei said sourly.

"I still don't see what it has to do with religion," Alexei said. "All I see is, you have a reason to hate NiMBUS. I do as well. If I could only get you to see Mr. Pierce then..."

"Alexei," Rei said. "The god of my people...our final judge..." He paused, as if he was unsure about what he was going to say next. "We called him...Nimbus."

"Rei!"

"Rei where are you?!?!"

"Come on Rei...I'm lost in here!" Alexei shouted down the cold and winding halls of the temple. On the walls were beautiful paintings, pictures of history long past. But when Alexei caught up to Rei, the walls were bare.

"NiMBUS was here..." Rei concluded, touching the wall gently with his fingers. "They wiped the record clean, eliminating it from history...as they tried to do with my people. But no...my people were smarter. They stored their notes on paper as well. The directions to these notes are so obvious...written on the walls...but NiMBUS couldn't read them. They didn't understand the language. Those bastards...they stole these worlds from us...and now I will steal them back!"

"Whoa..." Alexei grunted as Rei pushed past him. "W-what are you doing? Why is you god named Nimbus?"

"My people are in touch with nature, Alexei," Rei said. "Nimbus, the name, it tipped me off some time ago. Now, from the notes, I understand. NiMBUS did experiments...with Aurals. A century ago, Dante Graav ordered the genocide of my race. NiMBUS, armed with the Q-virus, carried it out. My people...they didn't even fight back."

"A century ago?" Alexei mused. "But...the Q-virus came out around 40 years ago...and NiMBUS...oh my..."

"Exactly!" Rei shouted, as if there were other among them. "NiMBUS feigned that outbreak. They didn't want an Earth colony...and NiMBUS always gets what they want. The nuclear attack on Kyou Graav was by NiMBUS! He found out what their real job was!"

"My God..."

"Don't you see..." Rei explained as he walked. "Humanity is a poison...NiMBUS, a cancer. Humans infect world upon worlds, destroying each in the process. Our blood cures their diseases, and to thank us, my people, the humans kill us all! But I'm not going to destroy humanity, Alexei, I'm not foolish. I'm going to kill its bastard son....NiMBUS...I'm the last of my race, Alexei."

"What about me?" Alexei asked. "How do I fit into this. Why did you bring me here?"

"Come now, Alexei," Rei said, stopping as they reached the exit. "You're far from human..."

"What?"

"We're going to Steel Butterfly...I'm going to settle this...I'm going to fight for what's mine!"

Dave awoke in his cell, exausted. He tasted the blood in his mouth, felt the bruises on his body. He had been beaten, and now he was captured.

What....what happened? Where am I?

But once he looked out, beyond the forcefield that contained him, the second question was worthless. NiMBUS's sign glowed in the darkness, and Bivens' heart sank. After all, he had murdered an Admiral, and NiMBUS was sure to punish him for it.

What am I doing? My father...he wouldn't have gotten captured. He...he wouldn't have left. I...

The walls sparkled as the light from the sign reflected off the metal. Bivens squinted and moved to another corner as not to see that damn word.

...I've failed...

Just then, three guards raced past, silent minus their rapid footsteps. An alarm sounded, and Dave could hear the sound of large doors slamming shut...the sound quickly become louder...closer...

"This way!" A voice shouted. "Room 342398-B"

Dave stared up at the ceiling. "Room 342398-B" was indented into the metal. A metal door slammed down just outside of the forcefield that was covering the only opening to his cell. However, as it hit the ground, it exploded, sending Bivens flying to the back of the cell and the door into many small pieces. Outside of his cell, one of the two men quickly disabled the forcefield while the other climbed inside and lifted Bivens on his shoulders.

"I...I can walk..." Dave forced out of his mouth, still in shock from the explosion. His ears were ringing and his eyes flashed, and the man didn't put him down.

"No, sir," the man said. "I think you better just stay up there."

Sir?

"Andrews, move!" the man carrying Bivens ordered as they exited the cell room into another identical one.

"You got it Ice-man," the man addressed as Andrews replied, taking the lead and gunning down three guards who approached them. "Ice-man" held Bivens on his left shoulder, while shooting his rifle from his right hip...the ODIN BattleArmor making the load easier.

"You...you can't be in here!" a NiMBUS guard said, as Andrews and "Ice-man" ran down the halls.



"Fuck you," Andrews replied, aiming his pistol at the man's unguarded head and pulling the trigger.

In the next room, Andrews and "Ice-man" were pleasantly surprized to see the guards already dead. They seemed to be hacked to death, lying in pieces on the floor.

"Who the hell are you?" "Ice-man" asked, putting Bivens in a safe place on the floor. Bivens crawled out so he could see, as his two rescuers raised their rifles against the three silver-haired men, but they didn't even flinch. Perhaps they were captives too?

"I must thank you, humans," one said. "Your distraction has freed us. For this...you will be spared. Now get out of here, unless you want to meet the same fate as your bastard commrades."

"We're fighting them as well," Andrews replied, not lowering his rifle. "Come with us."

"No," the silver-haired men all said at once. They walked past Andrews and "Ice-man" and out the door that Bivens had come from.

To honest, Bivens wasn't sure how long it took them to get out of the compound. Thinking back, he decided that he must have fallen asleep. Now, in a starship of sorts, he was in what he figured was a back room, resting on a bed.

It honestly took effort to lift his beaten body off of the soft matress, but he managed, making his way to the cockpit.

"Sir," one of the two men said, noticing his entrance. Bivens couldn't tell them apart anymore, since they were now out of their armor. "Are you sure you're strong enough to walk?" This one had a black bandana tightly tied behind his head, with the straps freely flowing behind him, and was clothed in a marine's black battle garmets. The other, with brown hair, was clothed in fighter pilot crimson, and was flying the ship they were in.

"I..." Bivens said, thinking about his reply. "...am fine. Thank you two...I don't know how..."

"Lieutenant Joseph Frost," the one with the bandana replied. "...and that's Lieutenant Mark Andrews."

"Ice-man and Andrews," Bivens replied, remembering the escape. Joseph laughed at his companion's corny nick-name.

"We saw your pod crash," Andrews contined. "Figured that the Imperials wouldn't be storming one of their own. A man came out on a stretcher, and another was in chains. You have Joe here to thank. He thought it was you...and he came up with the plan."

"I thank you both," Bivens replied, amazed at his good fortune. "But what were you doing here in the first place?"

"Codes," Joseph said, holding up a briefcase.

"The Meta Four Mission?" Bivens asked.

"Exactly," Andrews replied from the pilot's chair.

"Then change your course," Bivens ordered. "We're heading to Steel Butterfly to rendezvous with the 16th Taskforce. They need these codes more than leadership does."

"Sir?"

"Yes, Lieutenant," Bivens replied. "We're attacking the capital...and because of the Order of the Seraphim, we're attacking the capital now."

"It's twisted now," the man commented. "Isn't it?"

"Am I dreaming again?" Alexei asked, as the man in shades was almost common place in his sleep anymore.

"You could say so," the man said. "But then again, when you dream, you're still alive. Your brain still works. You still remember."

"You seem to know all the answers," Alexei said. "What am I?"

"Hmm...You are what you aren't," the man replied. Alexei rolled his eyes.

"Riddles now?" he asked. Why can't this guy just give me a straight answer?

"When you realize what I said is true, you will most likely have forgotten it," the man continued, perfectly still.

"It's not easy to forget what you say," Alexei replied. "It always comes true. But then again...if you say I will forget it...perhaps I will..."

"Perhaps..."

"Back when I first met you...in that holoprogram...how did you do that?" Alexei asked. "Was that just a dream?"

"Now you're thinking," the man replied. It wasn't the reply Alexei wanted. "Could it have been real? Could I truely have the power to easily defeat Dr. Ackerman? Was your Dr. Ackerman truely as powerful as the real one is? And then...am I even real? They are your questions to answer, Alexei..."

"Hmm..." Alexei replied, thinking. "I...I think it was real. I don't think you have the power to defeat Dr. Ackerman...because if you did...you would have already. That being said...for some reason I have the feeling that you are real...and now that you said it...I bet when I fought him...Dr. Ackerman did hold back some. He didn't need to go all out..."

"Interesting answers..."

"When Rei said that the directions to the notes were written on the walls...but that the Imperials couldn't understand them...I could," Alexei continued. "Why?"

"Why do you think you would know the Ancient Language of the Aurals? What do you know about it?"

"I know that some still speak it," Alexei replied. "In fact the Zabrak all speak it. But...I've never learned it...and I've never seen a Zabrak in person. Yet those words...I read them perfectly. Am I...am I an Aural?"

The man in sunglasses simply laughed. "Look at your hair!" he said. "It's the easiest way to tell. Aurals have silver hair...and only Aurals have silver hair."

"Perhaps I dyed it and I don't remember..."

"Now you're being foolish, Alexei," the man replied. "You're not an Aural."

"Then explain to me how I'm not human, damnit!" Alexei asked, sitting down on the nothingness where he stood. "I was born to a mobster...I watched him gun down my mother in front of me. I saw him turn, his weapon aimed at me...and then the Imperials broke in and shot him. They gathered me up...and gave me to the Academy."

"How could you remember that? It was so long ago..."

"I don't think I could ever forget," Alexei replied. "I loved my mother...I still do..."

"Alexei...you never knew your parents..."

"What?" Alexei demanded, standing up once more. "Of course I did!"

"Your mind is closing, Alexei..."

"Bullshit!" Alexei exclaimed.

"When have I been wrong, Alexei? Open your mind...realize who you are..."

"Shut up!" Alexei yelled. "Get the fuck away from me! You're a liar! Shut the fuck up!"

"Fine..." the man said, walking away. "We'll meet again..."

"You stay out of my dreams, you hear me!?!?" Alexei screamed after the man, who vanished in the nothingness. "You stay the fuck away!"

But instead Rei was right next to him, looking down and looking worried.

"What did you see?" Rei asked, concerned.

"Nothing," Alexei snapped. How was he still mad? How did Rei know about his dreams?

"It's quite alright..." Rei replied, calmer than he was back in the temple. "Just relax..."

"No," Alexei said, standing. "It's not alright. It's not alright how some bastard in sunglasses talks to me in my dreams, and everything he says comes true. It's not alright that I survive when millions of others don't. It's not alright that I could read every fucking word in that temple, when I shouldn't be able to. It's not alright that you tell me I'm not human, and then act like I should know I'm not. It's not alright that my dreams tell me that my parents aren't really my parents, and that the way he says it is so real that it pisses me off like this. It's not..."

"I don't know what you are," Rei replied, looking Alexei in the eyes. "I just...I can feel it. I doubt you could understand."

"Well I don't know who I am anymore," Alexei said, flopping back down on the bed, his head starting to spin. "...and I can feel it too, Rei. I'm scared...of what it means..."

"Perhaps it's just an emotion," Rei said.

"I'm not an Aural," Alexei replied. Rei looked at him as if to say "Obviously." "...and you and the dream guy say I'm not a human..." Rei gave him the same look. It wasn't what Alexei wanted to see, and so he closed his eyes.

"There are millions of species in the universe, Alexei," Rei tried to explain. "Each one has a different...feel to them." He paused, gathering his words to make sense. "But you...you feel very alive...that's not in question. However...it's almost like you shouldn't be here. I don't feel...you. I can't explain it...and I have a feeling that the only one who can is that doctor from NiMBUS."

"You said your people didn't fight back," Alexei said. "But if they all are as powerful as you claim to be...why didn't they win...and why didn't you catch the Q-virus like the others?"

"I...I can't say I know the answers to those questions either..." Rei said. "And even now, as you sleep, another one has come to me..."

"I don't feel alone anymore..."

"Is it me?" Alexei asked, not sure what Rei meant.

"No...I meant my people...I don't feel alone...there...there seems to be others..."

"Rei," Alexei said, pulling the covers back over his shoulders. "That makes no sense at all."

"I know," Rei said, walking back to the pilot's chair. "I know..."

Alexei's sheets were soaked as he blinked in the darkness. This one felt farther away, less real. He couldn't quite remember...perhaps it wasn't as important.

He walked past Rei sleeping soundly, Alexei's optical implant having no problem seeing in the pitch black of the room. Night vision was one of many options his new eye had. If it hadn't been for what it reminded him of, his ultimate moment of weakness, he may have learned to even enjoy it. Sitting down in the cockpit, he was careful not to touch the controls.

"Hello, Commander..." A familiar voice said from behind. Alexei turned to see the blinking of the lights reflecting off the man's dark glasses and slick, black hair.

Alexei spun his chair around slowly as he felt his mood sour. "What the fuck do you...?" He said, rolling his eyes, before getting cut off.

"Now that's no way to treat a guest..." The man interrupted. Alexei stared at the internal sensors that were out of viewing range of the man before him. There was no denying it, there were three humanoid lifeforms in Rei's ship. One of them was an Aural, two of them were...

"What are you?" Alexei asked once again. He needed an answer, for it would tell him so much more than what was intended.

"I am what I'm not, Alexei...same as you...and yet we are not the same..."

"Bullshit," Alexei replied. "This here..."

"We're similar, but not the same...that sensor is not equipped..."

"How are we similar?"

"You will find..."

The man choked as the blade pushed its way through his neck. His sunglasses fell to the floor as his eyes rolled back in his head.

Alexei spun around in his chair as Rei came darting out from the bedroom.

"What happened here?" the naked Aural asked. Alexei chuckled and looked away.

"I didn't think I touched anything," Alexei replied. "Do you always sleep in the nude?"

"The sheets cover me themselves," Rei said, looking around. "There was a distortion here..."

"The scanners haven't picked anything up," Alexei replied, looking over the past few hours.

"No..." Rei mused, staring out to the stars. "I felt it..."

"What kind of distortion?"

"...time..." Rei replied. "Something happened...these minutes...we already lived them..."

"You're kidding me..."

"Oh no he's right," a voice said over the sound system. Rei and Alexei looked at each other, no one had turned it on, yet one of them recognized the voice. "Is that how you two always treat strangers?"

"Excuse me?" Rei asked, but the voice seemed to ignore him...as if he wasn't there.

"To answer your question, Alexei, you are what you aren't...in a way of course...until next time..."

Rei turned to Alexei once the sound system had disengaged. "What did you ask him?"

"I...don't remember this time...but Rei..."

"Yeah?"

"He also said that I'm not an Aural..."

"We've already established..."

"But that means I am...in a way of course..."

"Don't even tell me you plan on just flying down to the planet and landing..." Alexei said, giving Rei a strange look.

"They won't be able to detect this cloak," Rei replied, quite confident of himself.

"Then why wouldn't you give it to the Resistance?" Alexei asked. "Their cloaks could have used the upgrade!"

"Cloaked or not," Rei responded. "It's hard to hide a fleet."

It was a crazy, perhaps even stupid plan, yet to Alexei's astonishment, they did just as Rei said they would. The shuttle landed in one of the many slum-only sections of the planet, far from the battle front, completely undetected by radar and eyes alike.



Alexei grabbed both a Phased Assault Rifle (PHAR) and a Blaster Shotgun and handed one out for Rei, who simply picked up his long sword and shook his head. Alexei shrugged, made a comment on Rei's sanity, and strapped the shotgun to his back, holding the PHAR in his hands.

"I guess we're parting ways now," Rei said, turning away from Alexei. He turned and grinned, a twinkle in his eye. "You won't be scared without me, will you?"

Alexei cocked the PHAR one handed and smiled back. "I wouldn't worry about me..."

"I hope you find what you're looking for, Alexei," Rei said as he walked away.

"You as well," Alexei replied, but Alexei hadn't told Rei that they were looking for the same thing...and unlike Rei...Alexei knew exactly where Dr. Ackerman was...or at least where he should be.

That is the last time Rei Warheit was seen in an RP of mine, and that's around where this RP will pick up. However, Rei's discontent has now shifted from humanity to his own race and his race's ancient religion.

Could you provide a character template?

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking for...

He means something like this:

Something that clarifys some basic info about a character(Age, Height, Hair Colour, ect). I find it helps(me at least) get into the mind of the character I've created.

Steel, I would be honoured to have Kanosis show up for this fantasy rp. It would give me a chance to explain his new look and it also would give a chance to A. Explain an important piece of his backstory and B. get back into the character rping game.

...and I'll try to get mine up shortly.

Well I am submitting my character now.

Name: Loki (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/vivi.jpg)
Sex: Male
Race: Mage
Time Period: MageT
Age: 5
Height: 3’3”
Weight: 50 lbs.
Primary Weapon: Magic
Secondary Weapon: Staff (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Staff.png)

Loki is a young mage who has great potential for magic. He was born to a half black mage, half Elvin mother and a wizard father. However shortly after his birth both his parents were killed in a mysterious and unknown incident. The defenseless and small Loki was taken in by a great white wizard who Loki began to call “Grandpa”.


This is only the beginning of his bio. For more information look here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=446152), near the bottom of the post. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns - please say so.



I know its a little bit cheezy to use the name of an existing character... but, I couldn't resist. Besides his basic appearance (slight differences things like height) and name he is no way like Sephiroth.
Name: Sephiroth ( http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Sephiroth.jpg)
Sex: Male
Race: ½ Demon, ½ Angel ( http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Sephiroth2.jpg)
Time Period:
Age: 1000 (appears 30)
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Primary Weapon: Masamune ( http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/DMG2005/Sephiroth3.jpg)
Secondary Weapon: Raw power

It is said that the Sephiroth is around one thousand years old, but in reality nobody knows when or to whom he was born. He has no known connections to any person, anywhere in the world – no family, no friends, no acquaintances. He is a lethal combination of half demon and half angel which gives him the unique ability to be dead and alive at the same time. In essence he has to sides to him, one that exists in the spiritual plane and one in the physical – though they cannot be separated farther than ten meters or they will snap back together in pain.

The self-proclaimed Angel of Death, Sephiroth wanders the earth cutting down anyone who he feels should die. He uses a massive blade of extreme length to cut down his victims – it is said that there is nobody else other than Sephiroth powerful enough to wield the blade. The blade is said to be nearly six feet long and constructed in depths of hell out of an unbreakable metal. Sometimes he uses his power for “good” and sometimes he uses it for “evil,” but the only thing that remains constant is that he always uses his power and skill for himself, as he serves no other mortal or god.

Because Sephiroth defied the gods, he was cast out of Heaven and Hell alike. Along with exile, he was stripped of his immortality that goes with being a resident of Heaven or Hell. Though he still was able to keep his superhuman powers such as but not limited to immense strength and speed as well as being immune to disease. Despite his lack of immortality, he has lived for one thousand years and nobody is quite sure what is lifespan will entail.

When his wings were removed by the gods, he was no longer able to fly so he had to find a new way. He eventually made connections with a dark steed from another plane of existence, named Darkfire. The horse has the ability to walk on air, making it look like it can fly, though without wings. When Sephiroth calls him, Darkfire enters the plane from the sky and runs toward earth, leaving a fiery trail behind him. Wherever he walks, Darkfire leaves a small black flame – though it disappears quickly and cannot set anything on fire.

Name: Rei Warheit
Race: Aural
Gender: Male
Height: 6'5"
Body Build: Athletic
Age: 2000 (appears 35)
Hair Color: Silver
Eye Color: Silver
Weapons: Long, Thin Sword
Abilities: Too many to mention. Has the ability to create gravimetric fields and uses this ability to move objects, fly, etc. He also has outrageous speed, superior strength, incredible focus, and is nearly immortal.
Biography: After a bout of memory-loss, Rei, who was currently the Sky Marshall for the Empire of Steel Butterfly in the Orion Sector, quickly realized who he was through a horrible experience known as time compression. Ending the threat and escaping physically unharmed, Rei left his post with the government and ventured into parts unknown, unsure of himself and who or what he was.

While he was away, he became possessed by a lifeform unknown prior to that occasion who went by the name Leandro Heroth. With Leandro's drive and Rei's power, Rei went on a murderous streak and was classified as the Empire's most wanted man, before purging the demon from of his body and ultimately stopping him, saving the Empire.

Nevertheless, Rei's quest for an identity and answers was far from over, and he did his own research during the time of the Civil War, coming across many answers which only brought up more questions in the process. Meeting with Alexei Ivanova, who displayed Aural traits, Rei gained access to the ancient Aural archives, realizing that NiMBUS Biotechnologies was to blame for his people's near-extinction.

After Alexei killed Dr. Ackerman and the New Empire eliminated NiMBUS, Rei still felt lost, and began to think that it was his beliefs which were causing that feeling. Needing to know more about his religion, Rei gathered together with his old friend Garr as well as two newly-rescued Aurals, to seek answers.

Name: Varin Warheit
Race: Aural
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3"
Body Build: Athletic
Age: 800 (appears 25)
Hair Color: Light Silver
Eye Color: Silver
Weapons: Sword and Dual Pistols
Abilities: Has the potential for any ability that Rei has, although his lack of training, age, and experience when compared to Rei make his abilities far less powerful.
Biography: Varin, along with his half-brother Lucius, was the result of a string of illegitimate relationships that Rei had around 800 years ago. Captured by NiMBUS at a young age, his powers are severely underdeveloped, although his potential, along with his brother's, is unmatched as far as Aurals go.

Forgiving to his father, Varin often has a care-free attitude. In regards to humanity, Varin is intrigued and amazed by the people who surrround him, and has embraced a human lifestyle, much to the dismay of his brother, and to a smaller part, his father.

Name: Lucius Warheit
Race: Aural
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3"
Body Build: Athletic
Age: 800 (appears 25)
Hair Color: Silver
Eye Color: Silver
Weapons: Thin Sword
Abilities: Has the potential for any ability that Rei has, although his lack of training, age, and experience when compared to Rei make his abilities far less powerful.
Biography: Lucius, along with his half-brother Varin, was the result of a string of illegitimate relationships that Rei had around 800 years ago. Captured by NiMBUS at a young age, his powers are severely underdeveloped, although his potential, along with his brother's, is unmatched as far as Aurals go.

Resentful towards his father, Lucius is ever-serious and highly critical towards most things, especially his half-brother who he considers a waste of potential. Lucius is slowly developing a distinct hatred of humanity, both for what it did to his race and what it is apparently doing to his half-brother. Still, Lucius lives for his father's approval and even though he puts on a front of anger towards Rei, he wouldn't do anything Rei didn't want him to.

Name: Garr Ultima
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Height: 6'
Body Build: Average
Age: 48
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Weapons: Sub-Machine Gun, Automatic Shotgun
Abilities: None outside of good aim...
Biography: A bounty hunter, and a damn good one, in his younger days, Garr was the assassin who caught up to the possessed Rei just before Rei exorcized the demon possessing him. Assisting him from then on, the two became close friends.

Still, the fact that Rei hasn't appeared to age a day is not lost on Garr, who is quickly realizing the restraints age has put on him. Nevertheless, he wants nothing more to see his friend happy, and will do whatever it takes to solve the mystery of the Aurals.

very cool

might I ask where you got the pictures from?

might I ask where you got the pictures from?

Well Rei Warheit looks like Sephiroth...he always has...most likely always will...so I take pics of him from the FF7: Advent Children site and make them the size I want.

Part of the "Aural Legend" is that they have silver hair...so I went around trying to find other people with silver hair (using video game characters instead of real people for obvious reasons) and I came across Devil May Cry. So...I went to the DMC3 site and took the pictures of Dante and Virgil and resized them to how I want them to be.

As for Garr, he's Nooj from Final Fantasy X-2, a miserable, disappointing game based off a great game.

In general though, these are the only RPs where I use video game characters. Otherwise, I go to www.imdb.com or www.atpictures.com for pics of people. You really can find pics anywhere.

ah. Just wondering where you got those - thanks.

Hows this?

Age: Unknown (Appears 16)
Hair Color: Black, shoulder length
Eye Color: Blue
Weapons: Katana, dagger

Biography: Little is actually known of Valfar. His history and memory are a blur, his only memory is that of serving under a necromancer who ruled with fear. The days of him serving are long gone however, he has become a wanderer.

He looks for meaning, for who he is. A document he had with him had given him his name, whether or not this is his real name, he doesn’t know.

Sounds fine by me

Biography: Gaohari was an outcast by all three races that (s)he belonged to. To humans, he is either considered a savior or a curse, either way they exclude him. To both the angelic and demonic species, she is a tainted abomination. Put between the three external, and internal pressure, Gaohari left to seek out a niche to live his lives in comfort and acceptance. In the over 150 years he's been searching, he has yet to find it.

One of the internal pressures that is the greatest problem with his wish for life in peace is that he/she must spend at least two weeks in each of the three forms.

I think I already posted the picture of Mutated Kanosis.
This is premuted Kanosis.
Name: Fitzgerald F. Kanosis
Race: Celackian Psycho rabbit
Gender: Male
Height:6'5
Body Build: Athletic
Age: Chronologically 1068, Biologically 42.
Hair Color: Black, with silver stripe
Eye Color: Blue
Weapons: Specially modified 9mm, Warheit's sword. His claws and teeth. A pouch of throwing knifes. His mind
Abilities: LONG LIST: Super speed, hearing, smell, agility, reflexes, piloting skills, stealth skills, seeing, intellect. Knowledge of tactis, very good leadership skills (was pm of Celack, then leader of Celackian space fleet). I know I'm forgetting something.
Biography: LONGER THAN ABILITIES
4945 YAL: Was born and begun training.
4965 YAL: Started off in Celackian spec-ops. Disasterous mission which half his team, and family,died. His came through and assumed command of his team. His leadership and an unsactioned rescue mission saved them. The man who lead the rescue mission was LT Jim F Tuesat, who would become Kanosis' best friend.
4960-85. Kanosis quickly rose through the special forces to become the top agent of the Celackain government.
4976: Terristan refugee camp incident.
4985: Kanosis rescues Celackian PM from terrorists. PM reveals that he wants to retire and that Kanosis would be an excellent replacement.
Kanosis elected PM of Celack, with Tuesat as his deputy
4987: During a disruption in the timestream, Kanosis was sent forward in time to fix it. http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=286992It was then where he aquired Warheit's sword. the timeline was fixed and an alternate version of him was created in the time he left and took over.
6005: Arrives in the future, helps repair timeline. Time travel causes him to stop aging physically and also allows him to split into his DNA bases, human and rabbit. Both halves are endowed with superior skills
6005 onwards: Returns to Celackian space. Was imediatly promoted to admiral. Takes down the second exodus rebellion run by his mad Clone. Becomes an agent of the Celackian government to take out Warheit.http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=290247 After the destruction of Leoandro, he returned to the space fleet. He smashed numerous crime syndicates which lead to a high bounty on his head. When Steel butterfly started it's civil war, he was ordered to take a fleet in to help the rebels. It was a trap laid by the Celackian Premier who flet threatened by him. His second in command tried to kill him and lost an eye in the process. Kanosis escaped thanks to Tuesat, who once again saved his life. Tuesat had froze himself crogenically. They escaped the fleet in a prototypal deepspace heavy bomber. The Premier placed a bounty of close to a billion celackian credits on his head. Tuesat and him parted ways to throw off pursuit. He now seeks revenge and a way to clear his name. He knows one man who he thinks can help him. Warheit

so basically he is super, superman...

edit: lol, I mean rabbit! (very nice)

Not really. He is not invulnerable. A bullet can easily kill him, because he has not mastered the skill of swatting them out of the air. He would be defeated in a sword fight with Warheit, even thought that hasn't happened yet. He could hold him off for maybe a minute of two but he couldn't stop him. His sons on the other hand....maybe he could win.


Anyways, he does have weaknesses. His mentail state is not perfect. His country, which he dedicated his life, and whole being to has betrayed him, and to clear his name and save his country from corruption and tyranny he has to kill Loyal Celackian soldiers and maybe even civilians. He is haunted by the Terristan incident, by memories brought up by the hunt for warheit and the SB civil war.

lol, I know. Just a joke.

Phew, I grew worried when I saw the Advent Children images...
Will this work?

Name: Talbrynn Rednight
Race: Mahora*
Gender: Male
Height: 6'4"
Body Build: Athletic
Age: 26
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Watery Blue
Weapons: Giant Sword, Hand to Hand
Abilities: Excels with his sword and can be a very strong fighter when it comes to fists and kicks. Has a good hand on the usage of elemental magic**.
Biography: Talbrynn has always been sort of a loner. As one of the last seven Mahora, he's always lived to survive and looked out more for himself. Talbrynn's never settled in a single place long, the longest place was for two years when he worked for the deadly Highwind Triad. His skills were highly valued among the Triad, and when he chose to leave their service, they made sure to add him to their list of "friends."

He lives as a nomad, roaming the world on his motorcycle with his sole comrade, Jake Larkin. With no home or family to return to, he's always looking for an excuse to keep moving.

Race: Human

Height: 6'4"
Body Build: Athletic
Age: 31
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Gray
Weapons: Metal baseball bat, pair of SMGs, a single semi-automatic pistol
Abilities: Strong and agile, a powerful swing with his bat. Good aim with his SMGs and pistol.
Biography: Jake Larkin met and befriended Talbrynn Rednight when Talbrynn began working for the Highwind Triad. Jake had been working for the Triad for ten years before then, and had become a powerful fighter through his experiences. He's not the most sensitive in the world, and an insult might earn the offender a baseball bat to the jaw. Jake prefers to jump into the fight swinging, rather than stepping aside a moment to think, something that has gotten both he and Talbrynn into worlds of trouble. With a cigarette lit and a gun loaded, Jake considers himself ready for anything.

((*Mahoran-The Mahoran are a near extinct race of Valdeunians, only an estimated seven are said to remain. The Mahoran are stronger, faster, and have a higher vitality than the average human, and have a natural skill with the Elements. However, they share the same desires and emotions of a human: desire for power, greed, hate, sorrow, joy, etc. It is said that Mahoran are naturally leaning towards evil, being unable to control the power given to them.

My main account is fried thanks to a Jolt glitch. So I'll be using this one.

Note: The pic will be linked through a thumbnail from this point on.

Also note: This charcter has never even heard of Steel Butterfly, let alone Warheit. He barely knows that Crimmond was once GDODAD. He despises the modern world and it's occupants and thus stays ignorant of them, so he can try to live in peace.

Name: Gar the Executioner
Race: Human Demon hybrid
Gender: Male
Height: 8 feet
Body Build: muscular
Age: Unknown
Hair Color: n/a
Eye Color: n/a
Weapons: rapier and the occult
Abilities: immense ability in a fight, having fought in most of the wars prior to the 1700s on Earth and natural powers over nature. Hard to kill. He is killable, but it takes much to put him down. Crimmond Marines shot him nearly thirty times and he still slaughtered them, though he was severely injured by the incident.(he is fully recovered, by the way)
Biography: He has fought and butchered many a human in his time, killing for whomever he wished. He has appeared in myths and legends of many cultures as Death itself. His lineage is unknown, even to him. He fought alongside The Beast, known as Delta in the Modern Day, becoming the only being The Beast would trust.

He retired from war when The Beast vanished from the Earth for a thousand years, only to be released by Damien the Destroyer. While Gar waited for that day, he came to Gholgoth, the Blessed Shores and honed his skills over nature, becoming part of it. Becoming it's protector. He decimated thee ancient armies that came to his lands and defiled them.

He holds a grudge against Delta though, for building cities on Gar's lands and then placing Gar in charge of the cities. Now he wants nothing more than to leave Gholgoth for new hunting grounds...

This is Assington...

Name: Izual (http://groups.msn.com/WeatheredImagination/assingtonspics.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=176)
Gender: Male
Race: Demon/Angel
Height: 194cm
Body Build: Lean, toned
Age: Unknown
Hair Color: Black or Gold (shoulder length)
Eye Color: Gold
Weapons: A sword constructed with the combination of his demonic/angelic powers
Abilities: A wide range of demonic/angelic magiks, more competent in angelics

Biography: It's hard to find an appropriate beginning to Izual's life. He was once a human, then a demon under the command of Lord Arithon, then cleansed of his demonics in an attempt to kill Kain Shentavo. Upon being mortal once again, Izual wandered the mortal realms for hundreds of years until he ironically ended up saving the life of Kain.

Close to death, Izual found himself being imbued with an angelic nature as a reward for his good deeds as a mortal and it was at this time he discovered he wasn't fully cleansed of his demonic side and it was in fact growing once again now that he was immortal. Izual became one of the most effective warriors within angelic ranks and made a name for himself as a demon hunter.

Unfortunately the angels were not willing to aid Izual in his quest to find internal balance as that involved nuturing his demonic side. He obviously couldn't rejoin Arithon and so Izual became a freelancer. Belonging to neither side, he roams the realms of mortal and immortal in search for knowledge and understanding of how to achieve balance between his demonic and angelic halves.

I'm now going to have to find a picture that suits Valfar, everyone else seems to have a picture for their character.

Lol, Crimmond we have a Garr and a Gar

Without anything more than the basic plot in my head, it'd be honestly hard for me to tell you, but this entire RP is going to be supernatural to the extreme, and I think a purely modern-tech team would seem a little out of place. I'll think about it...but ultimately it's up to you.

OK, let me know if you want to throw some puny humans in the way. I really don’t know anything about the fantasy world so the ignorance of my characters would be real. I could do some research and throw them in from “Stargate” or something with some alien tech, although, I’m a little behind on that show as well. If you don't think it will work just let me know!

just wondering if you know what time you are going to start this RP?

I'm also wondering if I've been accepted.

I'm also wondering if I've been accepted.

ah, good point... me two then.

Tag: to turn into the character bio (unless its buried)

Also glad to be back, and just in time for a famous SB RP, huzzah, at least I'm glad my RP skills did not go on the wayside with NS.

just wondering if you know what time you are going to start this RP?

Some time over Christmas break...more specifically something like december 22-January 2. Most likely between Christmas and New Years.

As for acceptance, I do enough closed RP's (if you check the sig I'm doing one now) that I want this one to be open on one condition: no additions half way through. That means that anyone can be in it, as long as you're in it from the beginning.

Also, I did some plot work last night. This is going to be pretty cool.

Thats cool. Though I might add/tweak my characters before it starts.

Ok, hope you don't mind if I jump in. This is my RP nation (as my main nation got frizzled in a Jolt problem) and I hope my RP'ing's up to par. Check out "The End of An Epoch; The Begininng of an Era" thread in my signature - not very long or active, but it's a taste of my character RP'ing.

Name: Vraelentor Ki'in Hytraxz
Race: Human - though Yaforite.
Gender: Male.
Height: Estimation - around 6 feet, 1 inch
Body Build: Medium - thin, slightly on the thin side of medium.
Age: 23-ish
Hair Color: Black.
Eye Color: Black.
Weapons: A regular short sword, a couple of throwing daggers, and a rock or two. Oh, and his mental skills and natural body strength.
Abilities: His coersion, both physical and mental is exceptionally good and, as a side affect, his own mental capacities and resistance to coersion are on the same side. He is, I guess, the most "regular" characer of the lot.
Biography: Born in Grantael, the island city off Yafor 2, he was born into a family of magic. He was sent into the training fascilities at the center of the city, after he showed no ability in the area of magic. Thrown out after he beat another pupil to the ground, he has lived off of his own toughness and intellect for years, and now is set for the adventure of his lifetime...

Thats cool. Though I might add/tweak my characters before it starts.

Just make sure whatever tweaks you make you throw up in this thread.

Just make sure whatever tweaks you make you throw up in this thread.

yeh I will.

Okay then, after the mutation Kanosis can fly, gore people with his horns, create fire, and communicate telepathically.

Speaking of tweaks, I added a second character if that's alright, a friend of Talbrynn's.

gore people with his horns,


That could be interesting :D

Tweaking...

Hmm. Gar is just fine as he is, I think. Pissed off, violent, hard to kill and ugly as hell. Yeah. I got that right on the first try.

It seems I will be away from Jan 5 to 15th so perhaps it's best if I sit this one out...

Well Rei Warheit looks like Sephiroth...

Crap. One of my characters that I use and wanted to add, also looks like Sephiroth (and shares the namesake) *Slap's head* :(

I would like to be in as well. This to turn into bio once I finish reading all the posts and figure out how to model my character.

Name: The Doll Maker
Race: Demon
Gender: ??? (Base: Male)
Height: ??? (Base: 6')
Body Build: (Base: Slender)
Age: ???
Hair Color: ??? (Base: None)
Eye Color: ??? (Base: None)
Base Appearance: In the Doll Maker's base apperance, he is confirmed as a male, and is seen as a tall and slender ambigious humanoid form, lacking of any real distinguishing features. His flesh is very mallable, and naturally he has no visible eyes or hair. While his flesh seems to be a grey colour, to those that see him in his base form he seems to lack any color to his skin.
Weapons: Dolls
Abilities: Shape-shift, Construct Doll, Cultivate Soul, Command Doll
Biography: An anthromorphic entity known simply as 'The Doll Maker,' this demon is as charismatic as they come. A silver tongued devil, he equally assumes the guises of males and females. He seduces both men and women in order to consume their souls. Massively narcissistic, the Doll Maker is rarely ever in his natural form.
Although a natrual pacifist, when he does have to fight, the Doll Maker uses a small group of dolls, about twelve or so, to do his bidding. This is how he earned his namesake. Each doll is different, and utilizes a different form of magic and attack style. Each doll also has its own personality, ranging from submissive to murderous and a slew of others inbetween.

Other: Did you know... That each Doll is made 'alive' by implanting a fragment of a human soul into it and turning a wind-up key in the back?
Did you know... Each human soul is divided into smaller parts, then placed into different dolls. This explains the diversed personality traits between the Dolls.
Did you know... That when the Doll Maker is not using them, the Dolls are stored in suitcases. When he needs them, the suitcases come flying to wherever he is.
Did you know... That the Doll Maker's favorite Doll is named Shingoto. All of his dolls are female.
Now you know! And knowing is half the battle!



Name: Shingoto
Race: Doll
Gender: Female
Height: Three feet
Body Build: Dimunitive
Age: N/A (Was made twenty years ago)
Hair: Brown
Left Eye: Red
Right Eye: Green
Appearance: Piccy HERE (http://premium1.uploadit.org/BetaVerisonX//1136154279526.JPG)
Weapons: Her Suitcase, her magic, Walking Cane
Abilities: Demonic Flame
Bio: A Doll implanted with part of the soul of a stately gentleman, hence why she is always dressed in a nice suit and top hat and carries a walking cane, which also doubles as a beating stick. Unforunately, while she inherited her soul's fashion sense, she also inherited his repressed dark side. She is viciously evil and cruel, sadistic to the point that she offends most demons. Being the Doll Maker's favorite, she is rarely stored in her magic suitcase, and more then the others she uses it as a weapon, as well as torture device. She is also rarely away from his side. Like all of his Dolls, Shingoto is mindlessly loyal to her Maker, and would never think to harm or disobey him.
She can create and control demonic flames, which burn black rather then red.



lol It's okay SB. I've been tooling this character around in my head for a while anyways. How is it this time around?

I like it, though its up to SB.

Damn, and this looked so promising. I would love to join, however, I'm going to be away from Dec. 24th-Dec. 26th (Christmas and all), and again from Dec. 31-Jan. 5th (going on a cruise for New Years...).

If you don't mind me waiting till after that to join, that'd be great. Otherwise, perhaps next time eh?

I don't know what SB will say, but he did post this before:

http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10125611&postcount=50

SB, I hope you don't mind if my char is kinda like yours. If you don't like it, I can change her?

At the risk of sounding like a dick, I'm gonna have to say no to another person playing an Aural. This RP is actually going to shape the perception of what an Aural is and what they believe in, and I truely need complete control over the race. I'm real sorry...but...no.

If you don't mind me waiting till after that to join, that'd be great. Otherwise, perhaps next time eh?
It seems I will be away from Jan 5 to 15th so perhaps it's best if I sit this one out...

By "the beginning" as I said, I really mean now, in the planning stage, and in the general beginning. If you're going to be away for the holidays at a different time than I am, I really can't hold that against you. I meant that I don't want people joining in three months from now.

Crap. One of my characters that I use and wanted to add, also looks like Sephiroth (and shares the namesake) *Slap's head* :(

I guess you missed my post as it was at the end of the page (or ignored it purposefully :p ). So... yeh... just wanted to say.

I've decided that rather then retool Lunehhy, that I'd just make a new character entrely. How is it?

cool idea, though the Doll Maker lacks something to be desired (such as... anything about his appearance :D).

Also, just a question... if the doll is a female, why does it have the soul of a "stately gentleman"?

Well, if you guys want, I'll post up the shape the Doll Maker will take for the majority of the RP...?

Well, it actually only has part of a soul. And, why not? The soul only really influences it's personality and abilities.

Usually even shape shifters have a base form that they are naturally.

I just find it odd for a female doll to be dressed and act like a gentleman... (by the way, does the doll look human/real or is it wooden/whatever-material?)

True DMG. I've actually not decided on what the Doll Maker's natural form is. Maybe he's been so many shapes he's forgotton what his original form is? :P Although, yeah... Sure, I'll decide on a natural base form.

I know it's odd. That's why I like it. :D

As for how they look... They look real enough. Kinda like how porcelain(sp?) dolls look real to a degree, although nowhere near as fragile.

And thanks for the feedback DMG. :D *Glomps!*

Just to make a note: I'm not going to have enough time to actually get some good writing until the end of Winter break (Jan 2nd). I will have some time to periodically check in and skim over what is going on however, so I won't be in the dark during that time.

Not sure if SB is going to like that. A couple of people have said the same or similar things and he has said that he wants dedication to the thread and it will be starting soon...

BTW, SB: I posted my second character along with my first, here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10114936&postcount=22). If you don't like the fact that the picture I chose is the same as Rei (though they are different in size - and appearance slightly). Also, I was cheezy enough to use the name Seph... so if you want me to remove him, just say the word.

Hope this clears it up...also...I'll be posting the final concept for the RP soon...and I'll probably begin writing it over christmas...

As the aging sun rises over the barren land, various beings open their eyes for what seems like the first time. Born again in sin, these individuals roam the land alone no matter who they’re beside, each trapped in this desolate purgatory for their own particular vices. Can they survive until their final destination is in hand? Can they survive the…
http://67.18.37.15/237/117/upload/p694867.png

Basically, people, what we have is a situation where all of our characters wake up in a barren wasteland, unaware of how they got there or why they are there. With all this free time, our characters start reflecting on themselves as a generally nondescript darkness spreads across the wasteland. This darkness affects our characters in…interesting…ways…and to be honest I don’t want to give away any more…especially the ending…which will be pretty amazing. I’m not sure that a twist would be the best way to describe it…but once you realize what actually is going on, I’m hoping that you all will be rather impressed.

Generally how I do RP’s like this is plan out the beginning and the ending (keeping the ending secret of course), and then leave the middle, or most of the RP, up to chance. This allows the RP to be somewhat organized and focused while at the same time random. The randomness is where the rest of you come in, for you as a collective dictate how that “middle” progresses.

Nice...? Question. Since we're starting in a wasteland, ideally it's seperate from the rest of the universe? Meaning, outside help won't be able to come in.
Meaning, The Doll Maker will have to use Shingoto, and only Shingoto, as his means of defense and attack, etc.

Also, what did you think of my new char? Is he cool?

How far apart will the various characters be at the start?
Also, much introspection wanted?

Likewise, what did you think of my new character? Do you have any problems with it?

I'll definitely be watching this RPs progress. I would join in, but I dont think I have enough experiance to be able to participate with the big boys yet.

Alrighty, that sounds ok to me. I'd like to participate in this and I'm sure I can just add in some sort of relevant story that has my character incarcerated for the period of my absence. Then after 10 days I come back and will most likely have a lot of readint to catch up on.

Also, what did you think of my new char? Is he cool?

Yes. The Wasteland is a seperate realm of sorts. There won't be any interaction with the real world until perhaps the end. They are effectively trapped.

As for your character, it works. Very japanese horror-ish.

How far apart will the various characters be at the start?
Also, much introspection wanted?

It's really up to you and whomever else how long you want your characters to be apart from each other or whatnot. I'm sure they'll meet up eventually.

As for introspection, I want it to be a constant backdrop. It will become obvious eventually that these people are stuck here because of what they did, and I want the theme of the past coming back to haunt the present to be constant throughout the RP.

Likewise, what did you think of my new character? Do you have any problems with it?

You basically summed it up yourself. It's a bit cheesy to use the name of an existing character, especially when it's not even really like that character, so there's no reason why you couldn't have chosen a different name...but on principle I have no objection to him.

It was the picture I was mainly concerned about. The name I didn't think about that much compared to the actual character... I might change it if I think of a better one (which I will work on).

To be honest, I think we have a really wide variety of people with various levels of experience in this thread already. These type of things are the best way to get started, as I'm not expecting much other than a good time. While a lot of the RP's I do are very specific invite-only, like the one in my sig and most of mine in the archives, the Warheit series has always been rather inviting, and most of the time basically a godmod character convention...lol. If you truely are interested, by all means join in. It'd be a great start or at least a great way to get practice. No one here will be judging you on your writing prowess as long as it's not too ridiculous or stupid, and unlike other RP's there's no pressure to perform...just a desire to do well.

Alrighty, that sounds ok to me. I'd like to participate in this and I'm sure I can just add in some sort of relevant story that has my character incarcerated for the period of my absence. Then after 10 days I come back and will most likely have a lot of readint to catch up on.

It really could be as simple as your character "woke up" late...and you could give some winding backstory as to why he or she woke up late.

It was the picture I was mainly concerned about. The name I didn't think about that much compared to the actual character... I might change it if I think of a better one (which I will work on).

Well if you're going to call him Sephiroth...you might as well use a picture of Sephiroth. And while I'd probably rather not have you use a character who looks identical to one of my characters...unlike the Aural concept...I didn't come up with Sephiroth myself (lol) so I can't really force your hand on this.

Thanks SB. Heehee. hmmm... The approach I think I'll take for this RP is that although my character may interact with the other chars, his story will mostly be flashbacks to the past, showing his various evil deeds, as well as showcasing just how sadistic Shingoto is, as well as how she uses her suitcase as a torture device.

o.o.c. ALright. I think I'm gonna do the first IC post here. This will be fun.

I.C. Kanosis snatched up the bottle and stared at the tri-d. It was currently a news report about the hunt for him.

"He is armed and dangerous. It has been confirmed that the bombing and elemination of the Vetarn Colony was carried out by his orders before he went rogue. Close to 100,000 people died in that incident"

While the fact that he did not massacre those people, it was true that he had in the past. The Terristan incident stood in his mind. It was a horrific experience and if he had known what was really going on at the time, he would have stopped himself. He couldn't however. He would never forget the smell of burned flesh.

He took a long drag from the bottle, emptying it. It was potent stuff and within minutes he was unconcious.

He came to later. How much later he did not know. Maybe hours, maybe days, maybe years. It made no matter to him. What did matter was where he was. It was pitch black. He rose from the ground where he lay and looked around. He could see nothing. He listened closely and could hear nothing. He was alone, as he always had been. This time was different though. Very different.

Alrighty, that works for me.

On top of that I don't know how many people are going to be posting through the Christmas holidays...so you might not be as far behind as you think.

Wait, are we posting here? Or in another thread? Should I start using OOC tags?

Just so you know dude, I'll be starting a seperate IC thread once I write my first post. You can just copy and paste it then.

Phew! That's so super. Thanks. Heehee. :D

Will be looking forward to starting this RP.

Okay. Another thread. I still have first IC post!

Not if I post first.

It's not really IC if it's not in the IC thread.

Not Listening!

Well, I'm out of town until... probably wednesday.

Looks like the RP won't start until then anyways GC, so you're cool. :D

Name: Basil
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Height: 5’ 1”
Body Build: Lean
Age: 34
Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Chromatic
Weapons: Six concealed 4” knives and a lajatang
Abilities: Control over the primary elements (earth, air, water, fire) and possibly more (death essence/life*).

Biography: Considered depraved by many Basil spent a decade seeking power in the occult and old ideas from alchemy to sorcery. Eventually his research lead him to an place often tread, human sacrifice. The number of lives stolen by this man are unknown, nor are the acts or rituals used, but some how he has gained incredible power.

Though only control over the elements have been recorded while he escaped capture as a serial killer there are rumors of him being able to manipulate a persons life force, to what degree is unknown.

Some speculate that the source of his power is a necklace that has since been fused to his skin. But these too are rumors as no one has gotten close enough to see whether a necklace is worn or not.

(*fairly limited, no animating skeletons etc etc, but healing wounds, causing wounds, transferring wounds, but nothing fatal)

Hey Steel, sorry for not responding sooner, but I've been busy with school. Yes, count me in. I trust you remember Theallas. (That's an excuse for not doing one of these damn templates. Why can't we go back to the good old days when we just winged it? Christ. I'm sounding like a geezer.)

So, I hope I'm not too late.

I hope the people that joined this RP haven't forgotten about it when it starts (which I believe will be soon if I am remembering what SB said correctly)...

I haven't forgotten about it.

Alright...don't quote me on this (which of course I'm sure will inspire all of you too...) but I'm thinking that tomorrow will be a good day to start this.

You see, tomorrow Steel Butterfly will gain and probably surpass its 6,000,000th citizen. Seems like starting this RP would be a good way to kick off the 6 million celebration. Also, I have a complete lack of anything to do tomorrow except for looking over my nice new assortment of video games. (When you only ask for video games and money for Christmas...you get a lot of both.) So if I'm inspired by anything, this RP will start tomorrow, so check in throughout the day.

I assume you meant 6 Billion (6,000,000,000) citizens...

(and Yay!)

hmm...yet another reason not to quote me...

Don't worry, we all make mistakes sometimes :)

Alright...here's the update.

I'm feeling rather inspired tonight, and I've just finished my new post for Realm of the Risen III and started writing the first post for Wasteland. Best case scenerio is that I have Wasteland up in an hour or so. Worst case is that I have it up sometime tomorrow. Either way, it's coming, so keep checking. I'll post the link in this thread and it'll be in my signature as well once I get it up.

Kewl can't wait :)

Neither can I, though at this point it looks like I am going to have to wait until tomorrow :(

Well just so you guys know I'm EST...so right now it's 11:16 pm or so...

...and yes...I count 1 am as tonight haha

In the meantime, you all can start on your own intro post putting your characters in their natural environments. My only command so far is that at the end of everyone's opening post your character or characters are crippled by a piercing high pitched sound and collapse. Your posts should all be semi-cliffhangers.

If you have no clue what I am talking about, just wait until you read the end of mine.

Alright cool... *hopes for tonight* :p

I'll be waiting until I get back from wherever it is I'm going anyway...

loevely. I've just been pulled into a three day trip to nowhere....great. I might be back on NYD, but I ain't sure.

Ok, will do. I had started a brief opening post already with just guess work.

Very nice opening, Steel Butterfly, very nice...

Just so you understand, my two characters don't know each other at all nor have they heard of each other. Just two different people in two different places.

Sounds good. As for me, Garr and Rei know each other, and Varin and Lucius obviously know each other...however...even though they are his sons...Varin and Lucius don't know Rei and vice-versa.

Very cool...

I wonder when other people are going to post their intros...

Hopefully soon though...we do have a ton of people signed up for this.

I'll post my intro up as soon as possible, still have a little to write.

Good news everyone. I get wireless where I'm staying So I'll be posting a longer version of my crappy oppening.

Yah, I'm writing up my intro as we speak..or type...

It's 2006 baby! Bottom's up!

*Glug Glug Glug* Downs a pint, moves on to second one.

Hey I'm not a duck...

On another note, good intro's guys.

Oi, wassup everyone? I changed Shingoto's pic from THIS (http://premium1.uploadit.org/BetaVerisonX//Souseiseki.jpg) to...


... THIS THING OVER HERE (http://premium1.uploadit.org/BetaVerisonX//1136154279526.JPG). It's a more realistic, (And also downright creepy) represenative of Shingoto then the previous pic. I already changed the link in my intro post, so you can either look there, or look here. Or both. :P

And, before anyone asks. Shingoto's physical appearance is based off a character named Souseiseki in an anime called Rozen Maiden. Just her physical look only though. Souseiseki acts nothing like Shingoto. :P

Any thoughts on the change, or of either image?

Much creepier... very nice.

I didn't even notice her eyes were different colors until you put up the new pick.

Ya...the first pic makes her look cute. The second makes her look creepy. Creepy is much better.

Hey, thanks. lol I was thinking the same thing it fits her much better then the first image I found. Lucky I came across that second one, eh? :D

Oh, also... it's vastly off topic, but... Mr Pibb + Red Vines = Crazy Delicious (http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=zLElfJ9YCh0) :P Think y'all will like it as much as I did. :D

Whoa she does look creepy in the second pic, it's all to do with her expression and use of shadow.

Yeh, the shadowing and the darkness is the big part.

Well sunshine is too happy :D

Does anyone know how many people still have to post?

Assuming these people are still planning on posting... here is the list (I think):

Celack (He made that post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10140645&postcount=88) in the OOC thread and said it was the first IC post... though he never posted it in the IC thread.)

And who's the one who said that they wouldn't be here for a while? Assington?

I'm just trying to let everyone post before I really get this RP going. Once that happens, we won't have to wait for people like we are now.

Celack said he was going away for a couple days though he might be back on New Year's Day (yesterday); so he might be back today... who knows.

Oh, and Thelas said he would join, but he was busy with school and didn't make a template; though that was back on the 24th, so I am not sure he is every going to get around to joining.

Assington said he was going to be away for 10 days (starting on the 21st, I believe) which would mean he should be back around now...

Just a small alert. I updated Shingoto's Profile (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10134915&postcount=61) with the new piccy. Umh, not much other then that. I'm going to disappear now. *Shifty Eyes.*

I said I would be away from Jan 6 to Jan 16th. I can post now but then I most likely wouldn't be able to get another in until I get back. So I might as well just wait and will simply have to do a fair amount of catching up.

It would be easier for the rest of us, however, for you to post the same sort of opening before you leave...that way after a certain point every post is in the Wasteland.

Hey, just a question: How long are you willing to wait for people who signed up and didn't write an intro yet? (I think most people said they would be back around New Year's Day...)

Alright, I'll do a post up tonight.

Hey, just a question: How long are you willing to wait for people who signed up and didn't write an intro yet? (I think most people said they would be back around New Year's Day...)

I don't want to put a definitive timetable on it (mostly because I often miss my own timetables when I do something like that...) but sooner than later for sure.

I just don't want anyone to get to posting until everyone's opened. Now if they can't because they are gone I can understand that, but while everyone doesn't need to wake up at the same time, I'd like them to pass out at the same time.

Once everyone opens, I can do the intro to the Wasteland itself, and then people can go on their merry way, posting as they want.

woohoo, Assington. That leaves three left (I believe)

Alright.

Just a note: I have exams coming up this week and next so I might be be a little preocuppied. Though, it most likely won't be a problem and I will be posting at my normal rate.

Posted my intro... ^_^

Sorry bout my lack of posting. FLu from hell confined me to bed for the past couple days. At first, I though Iwas hungover. Then it didn't go away so.... anyways should be posting sooner or later.

Now we are only missing Gholgothian Crimmond and A Few Rich People...

Well I'm off now, be back in 10 days.

Have fun.

Well I'm off now, be back in 10 days.

I believe Gholgothian Crimmond, is the only one who is left to make an intro post. Though I don't know if he remembers about the thread. He hasn't posted in the OOC thread since December 23rd and said he would be back over a week ago...

I'm sure I've seen him in #nationsstates

If I see him in there I'll remind him.

I think everyone has posted now!

Huh?!

Gholgothian Crimmond; I just read your intro (quite nice), though I believe that SB wanted you to end it with your character hearing a piercing noise and falling over/blacking out type of thing. Just a comment... maybe he is okay with they way you did it.

Now for our characters to come around in the wasteland, I assume they'll appear in seperate areas.

Usually I get annoyed when people don't post for days and days, but in this case I am happy because I know it will bring a higher quality and this won't be an RP of one liner conversations - which is why I applaud SB for his work thus far.

Thank you DMG. It's always my goal to put out quality stuff.

That being said, I finally posted, and even managed to do so twice. Hopefully you get a decent idea of what the Wasteland looks and feels like, even though I know none of you have the slightest idea of what it is yet.

I guess we can just assume Gholgothian Crimmond's character heard the noise and blacked out like the rest of the characters.

I did what I did on purpose.

I wanted a look at what he was walking into before I did that part. I've caught up to the rest of you now.

Oh and... if Gar gets hungry/thirsty enough, he has few qualms about cannibalism. And whoever he likes least usually gets put on the menu first.

Just thought I'd mention that...

lol, probably will be Loki.

Alright... I am not going to get around to posting until tomorrow afternoon as I have (and have had) exams. Last one is tomorrow, early afternoon, and then I will have time to write something up.

It's not like you're missing anything. Everyone else really should wake up before those already awake do too much so that this thing reads right.

I'll have my characters 'waking up' post posted soon.

Ok I would have posted sooner had the forum not conked out for about 14 hours.

Same with me... my post is coming within the next hour.

Just so you guys know...as this progresses it's going to get continuously weird for my characters, as they're going to encounter things that don't make sense. Characters may appear to die but don't really, interactions may occur but neither character has a memory of it taking place, and other things that simply cannot happen in real life are going to take place. This RP is going to be weird, so you're really going to have to pay attention and let your mind go. Also, feel free to do some odd things with your characters as well.

The Wasteland is everything and nothing.

I'm back and will post on the morrow.

Oh good I love weirdness :D

Now if only the forum would behave.

Just when I get four days off after exams, the forum decides it wants to crash every ten minutes.

Yeah...it's been terrible lately

I really hope they've fixed what ever it was that was causing it, but since it's a Sunday I highly doubt it.

Yeh... though it hasn't been acting up today (I don't think... been really busy so far and will continue to be).

It's been a little slow at times mind you.

lol, Theao, that last pit of your post is a little wierd... The human part of your character is peeping at the angel part?

Essentially yes, but the Angel part is at the fore right now and the Human part is a 'tiny phantasm' that can only be seen by the Angel part(and the Demon phantasm)

No, I completely understand how your character works... it is just a little wierd still. It would be like peeping on yourself... :eek:

True enought, but one is male(and a teenager), the other is female. And how many dudes look at themselves in the mirror?

They don't look at themselves in the mirror to get off...

It is just my opinion that it is wierd. There isn't an argument or discussion.

I know, it's suppose to be wierd.

anybody else going to post IC?

OOC:I'll be getting an IC post up by the end of the week...hopefully. Sorry, I've got a lot of other RP commitments and my schedule ain't so accomadating...

I think the only people we are waiting for is Gupta (who just said he would post in a couple days) and A Few Rich People.

Well we don't really have to wait for them do we?

So are the forums actually working again? If so, I'll start posting. If not...well...

Yep, they're really working again, just the usual odd hiccup but nothing major.

Alright then. Perhaps I'll get a post up this weekend.

I need to remember what I wanted to put up...my mind's been elsewhere lately

No problem... like I said: take your time.

I would like to apologize for any incovenience I may have caused by my absense. I am sorry. I was in hospital because of a blood disorder .

There is definately no need to apologize. Being a hospital is not your fault nor anyones. Health is much more important than anything else...

[bump?]

All the rp's Im involved in seem to be going the same way :(

SB must just be having RL distractions; I am pretty sure this won't actually die.

I guess so, at least it isn't being rushed.

Heh - that is for sure.

I actually don't the slowness in this particular RP (though not quite this slow with multiple weeks between posts), as it forces people to think about their posts more and come up with better ideas.

Good to see you back SB.

Now I just need to get back into character, great to have you back SB.

Yeh, i was surprised to see the post. Now I need to read over the thread and remember everything again...

Alright people...here's the lowdown.

Basically, I've been busy as shit. School and work are both breathing down my neck, and I've had to write so much shit that writing for "fun" just didn't make sense for a while. Then, on Valentine's Day, two of my cousins, whom I was really close to, died in a head on collision. That kinda fucked me up for a few weeks. Still, even after that was over, I was still really busy. Even when I had time to write, I didn't have enough time or energy to make it "good," and I wasn't about to post up shit just so I could say I posted something.

I'll never just let an RP "die." If you ask Tappee, a NS friend of mine who's been in many of my RPs, breaks like this one happen. Real life just gets in the way...haha.

Anyhow, I currently am struggling with the plot. I know how I want it all to fit together, but I don't know the details, and I don't know how to get there, so I really have to watch what I post so that I don't fuck up any potential ending. I should get over myself soon enough ;) haha.

That's fine SB. I can fully understand that as Uni has been giving me hell lately too. You have my pledge to this thread, I'll see it through to the end.

Yes, I'll give you the same pledge as the person above me. Just one quick question: is that "not remembering the thought before" thing for all of us? Because if it is "not remembering the thought before" and my char was angry at his family, would he forget his family or just his anger, or just his exact thought? Total amnesia might be cool, but I'd rather keep him the way he is for now.

Yeh, i was surprised to see the post. Now I need to read over the thread and remember everything again...

@Assington: Not much as happened.

@SB: Again, you have my condolences.

@All: It is good to see that everyone has responded so quickly and enthusiastically.

I'm still here, thought will have to refresh myself on my char.

I'm still here, thought will have to refresh myself on my char.

Not me - my characters I have used and still do use at other times in other RPs. Though I imagine most people will have to refresh themselves.

I guess it wouldn't be that hard to read through the 18 or so posts in the thread.

Eh, wasn't that hard. Welcome back SB, and thanks for relaying the telegram DMG; I haven't been too active on the forums with this nation, wouldn't have realized the thread was back in action without the TG :D

I'll get to writing another post.

Actually, a lot of the people invovled in this thread aren't active on the forums (I think) - or at least posting a lot.

Will be posting soon...

Nobody else has yet (including me) so take your time.

Yeaa, I'm still trying to get back into character. Found a half written post on my computer, guess thats a good place to start :D

Lucky you :P

I still haven't read back on my characters/what happened (or what SB just posted).

You didn't even read his last post?

I will get around to it Monday evening.

Ok...he would definately not forget his family and definately not remember his exact though. Other than that though...where the "line" is drawn is up to you. You can make him remember being angry but not why...you can make him remember his family but not what they were doing last...or anything you want, really. Up to you.

Ok, thanks. I'll probably do what I usually do and try to stand clear of the line (in this case, make him probably forget his specific anger and, of course, his exact thought. He would still hate his family, but his anger would be mysteriously gone). Thanks for the help, man.

...and on a completely unrelated note...they still haven't fixed that "postcount: n/a" bug yet?

Doesn't seem so, I've Crimmonds account is still screwed as well. It's been like that for how many months now?

Nope, unfortunately. Which is why I'm stuck with this account, instead of my other one.

EDIT:Months and months. Ages.

...and on a completely unrelated note...they still haven't fixed that "postcount: n/a" bug yet?

Where do you see someone with postcount: n/a? I haven't seen one of those in a while.

Gupta's original account.

Oh...and I posted again.

Made my post last night, added some Wasteland weirdness to the mix, well, my mix...of posts....

Gupta's original account.

Oh...and I posted again.

What is his original? Is it just Gupta?

Look at his sig

"I AM YAFOR 2."

Oh, really? I had no idea - I have certainly seen Yafor 2 before, though I did not realize he and Gupta were in fact one and the same.

Well... now you do :D

:D That's either a very good thing or a very bad thing, and I'll take it as a good thing. At least I am/was regonizable. ;)

I just remember the name - not much of actually what you posted or anything like that :p

Now I really see it is you (now that I see your sig).

Alright... finally read it. *ashamed*

Post should be up tonight some time.

...and back on topic, I finally figured out what will be the point, or the twist, of this RP is. That means I can finally have direction in my posts instead of just randomness. Better quality from me = better RP for you. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Nice!

(Really sorry guys for not posting yet... I just have not received any inspiration yet, and now I am swamped with work - It should be up by tomorrow night by the latest)

I was under the impression you had a point to it before you started the RP :eek:
