okay the story.

There are three parallel relms. Earth, Anarion, and the Izagoth.

Earth is how we know it. An industrialized society with very little forestland.

Anarion, is a PT world, sprawling with lust forests. It was created by the Eldar. 4 beings, one representing each of the 4 races of men in Anarion. Human, Elf, Vampire, Angel.

Humans, your normal standard humans, live in their fuedal society to the south. Are constantly warring and desire to rule over eachother.

Elves: Hightened hearing and awarness, and agility. Stealth is their specialty. They are the most powerful Race in Anarion and also the ruling race of Anarion. Live in teh Forests to the east, The humans pay a tribute to them every new moon. (month)

Vampire, hightend senses and strength. However the need to feed is potent. Live in the Caves to the west. very few remaining.

Angels: the angels who did not fight in the war in heaven, instead of being banished to hell with Lucifer, were sent to Anarion to protect it from Evil. Live in the Mountains to the North. Very little seen. Exist in three forms, Human form, look human, have no wings. Standard form. 2 wings, but still really look human. 6 winged angel form: battle form of angels. 6 wings, and wearing holy armor.


The Izagoth

A blasted landscape. The ruling family was defeated in the Dracolarion Wars. The ruling family tried to invade Anarion, but was defeated by a coalition of Humans and Elves. What was left of the Izagoth was Chaos, demons and beasts formed their own seperate tribes and war constantly. However a new order has come. The Red hand now controls all the Armies of the Izagoth. And is now ready to rage war once again.

The story: Anarion is weak, the forces of Anarion have grown Complacent thinking the Izagoth to be nothing more than a bad Memory. They do not have the strength to repell them. Kast of Anarion, heir to the throne of Anarion (hes an elf) must set out and find the Sword of Anarion. The legendary blade made of holy steal, Gaurded over by the Dragon Ormus. In order to unlock the blade Kast must travel to the 4 corners of Anarion to find the 4 spirit stones. The elves control the Spirit stone of Light, its the Ruling family's crest, and Kast wears it around his neck. the Vampires control The Spirit stone of Darkness, its been sealed away in the Tomb of Truth. The Humans to the south control the Spirit stone of the Earth, sealed away in the Tomb of Justice. The Angels control the Holy Spirit Stone. Sealed away in the Burried Temple.

WHat to do. create a Character of one of these 4 races, or if you feel like being evil, one of the Izagoth. RPG and have fun. Join Kast, or try to make him fail.

OOH! OOH! I want in!

On a more serious note, with the Elves and Angels and Demons and all, how fantasy-ish is this going to be? (Magic and what-not?)

its a fantasy rp
the sky is the limit really

Okay. I'll post a character tomorrow. I have to book it back to the squadron before curfew.

kk im goin to bed

Name: Saacon Ralpmet
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Height: 6'2"
Race: Human
Hair: Light Brown
Eyes: Golden Irises
Weapon of choice: Broadsword and large heater shield
Wears: A suit of full-plate in a soft, golden color with his broadsword belted at his waist. When not in use, the shield may be strapped to his back. His surcoat is white with a large gray wolf emblazoned on it. The same device is embossed on his shield.
History: He was cast out of his village at a young age for the odd coloration of his eyes. The villagers thought he was a demon but would not kill himfor fear he would revert to his "true form" and slaughter them. He would spend the next decade or so in destitution until finally when he was taking shelter in a church one knight, he had an...epiphany. That was the turning point in his life. He became a brother of the church and everything he did was in accordance with his newfound faith. That was his new life until one night another human faction raided into that town. The fight eventually made its way into the church, and those seeking sanctuary were being cut down. Grabbing a candlestand, He clubbed the nearest fighter into insensibility and, grabbing the man's sword, preceeded to defend those within the church. Afterwards, the ecclesiastical leadership had no idea wht to do with him. He had commited an act of extreme violence, but at the same time it had been to defend the church and its flock. During this moral battle, the church was being used as a hospital with the brothers tending the wounded. When Saacon went to comfort a dying man, his heart went out to the man. Praying for the strength to ease the man's suffering, Saacon placed his hands on the man and then something miraculous happened: the man sat up, bewildered and without a scratch on him. Stunned, Saacon went from person to person with the same result. The higher-ups in the church could only assume he was being rewarded for his faith and inducted elevated him into the tiny and premiere brotherhood. Saacon became a Paladin: a holy knight and warrior of God.

History might be a bit much, but there it is. If it won't work I can change it. Also, what kind of pantheon are we using here?

Could I be a person who was from industrial earth, somehow got transported into Izagoth, and mutated?

as long as ure character can somehow fit into the story, and isnt like, a God or anything its cool. The purpose of this thread is to inspire events that will take place in me book that im writing. So u might see your character on a bookshelf one day.

If you ever played D&D or really any MMORPG then you know what a paladin is. Also, I have some questions:

1) Are these people monotheistic or, if not, what deities are there?
2) Why does your Vampil have modern weapons if it's a PT world?
3) [May answer question 2] How much travel is there between the three realities?
4) It being midievil-ish, what are you allowing? (For instance, strictly European, or stuff from the rest of the world that existed during the same time period [Mideast Falchions, for example] and up through what point in time? i.e. early muskets and stuff)
5) Are you allowing multiple characters?
6) And finally: say a character dies, is there a chance to continue playing them? (For instance selling their soul for continued life, or being judged worthy of ressurection or raised to angelhood or are they just dead)

Are you allowing multiple characters? if so...

Name: Coravel
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Height: 6'3"
Hair: Dark Brown mixed with Black
Eyes: Left iris is a steel gray, right iris is a bright green
Weapon of choice: Single heron-marked sword with a singly-edged, slightly curved blade, knives and unarmed combat as well
Wears: Dark brown pants that are slightly baggy and belted with a black leather belt, black boots of hardened leather with soft leather soles, a dark green long sleeved shirt that is a little too big for him that he keeps tucked in, a pair of bracers, and a headband of alternating red and black triangles.
History: An orphan all his life, Coravel cannot remember having any family. He grew up in the alleys of a major city like hundreds of other urchins. As a child, people might give him food, but as he grew older food was replaced with scorn. So he turned to thievery to keep eating. Eventually he was caught and was sentenced to five years military service. Once his sentence was up, he went freelance as a mercenary, quickly gaining a reputation as willing to take insane chances. After six months, he just disappeared. While many thought him dead, he reappeared recently, carrying nought but a sword.
Physicality/Personality: There is a tatoo on his neck showing him to be Jen'e'tai. The tatoo is yellow and its shape is the same as the one on my flag. He carries two facial scars: one horizontal along the left side of his jaw from chin to neck, the other verticle from neck to temple on his right side. Though covered by clothes, the rest of his body is crisscrossed in scars like a roadmap, including his hands; a mute testimony of the long road he has taken. Lanky yet well muscled, he is very quick. Before his disappearance, you would be hard-pressed to shut him up, but now you would be hard-pressed to get him to say anything at all; he has become a virtual mute.

Well lets see. Okay ill put it this way.

1.the Angels and Humans both worship the Christian God. The elves worship the Earth Spirits. And the Vampires worship the Kalamia The Goddess of Darkness.

2. Um, instead of taking time to write all the character bios over again, i coppied and pasted them from one i was using in a MT thread, so its a typo and ill fix it.
3. Travel between realms takes a large amount of magic. Earth is actually unkown to Anarion and the Izagoth. Earth doesnt know about either of the two. Izagoth and Anarion only know of eachother.
4. Basically anything you can hope to find in a Classic Fantasy story, such as Lord of The Rings, or the Sword of Shannara. so its really medieval tech. Catapults, Cross bows. Longbows. Swords. all that good stuff.
5. you can have multible characters, as you can see i have 4. but its up to you to Role play all the characters you ahve.

6. if you can find away to bring your character alive, post it in the OOC thread first, and ill decide if its worthy or not.

Awesomeness. Now The final question: When will the IC thread start?

um....when i get off me lazy ass and write a good starting post

oh sry bout that.....sons of tarsonis is another country of mine, and i forgot to change names, to who ever was confuzled im sorry

the OOC THREAD IS UPIZLE! Heres the start.

ive thrown in some secondary characters, but theyre neccisary.

Thank you, sir. Hmmm. If it's open to all, that means I might could work my other char in as well.

Could I be a Chaos Human?

Name: Goreth
Age: Centuries unknown
Weapon: Longsword
Wears: Chaos Armor (Black Armor with Demonic energy surging through it)
Personality/Physical Appearance: Goreth teeters on the brink of insanity. He lusts insaciably for blood, and kills in the name of the Dark Gods. He stands at seven feet tall, has glaring red eyes, and decaying white skin, crossed by hundreds of battle scars.

The whole shifting eyes thing: he's trying to watch everything at all times. He's become more than a tad paranoid since his disappearance. As for the twitching, I was going to say he was a tad insane or mentally unbalanced until I saw Wanderjar's post. So I have to add that he has no intention of slaughtering the party or doing anything involving their souls.:p

Nope, I don't want anything to do with their souls. Just want to kill. Alot.

I have to ask though: Have you ever RP'd anything that wasn't even vaguely related to 40K?:D

uh that works but im guessing your fighting for the Izagoth, since the Anarion dont really welcome those traits.....

I have to ask though: Have you ever RP'd anything that wasn't even vaguely related to 40K?:D



lol, quite a bit, but 40k is a deffinate preference :)


Actually, i've only been in 4 40k RPs. All the dozens of others haven't had anything to do with it.


Doesn't mean I don't like 'em a lot though! :D

uh that works but im guessing your fighting for the Izagoth, since the Anarion dont really welcome those traits.....


Yup!

sweet and hey dont forget to help me out in the Anarion Revolution once AB attacks, cause he will, hes cheaky like that.

um cool character, but this is more along the lines of LOTR dress, they dont really have Jeans there or fire arms.
Wait, the demons have to dress like dorks, too? No offense (assuming you'd take any, I'm mostly joking)
But, c'mon, it seems that there are multiple planes of existence. Why can't I steal the clothes from another one?
Oh, and about the firearms: I did say applicable planes. Since Anarion doesn't have guns, neither does she.

seeing as none of the characters dress like a dork. Come up with some bad ass outfit, but one that would fit in with medieval times.

and neither the Izagoth nor the Anarion, know about Earth. so you character wouldnt have gone there anyway.

Name: Marvel

Age: 213 (appears early 30's)

Race: Redeemed Demon/Red Gargoyle (uses illusion magic to appear human)

Hair: Short, black. Goatee.

Eyes: Black

Skin: Dark Red

Sex: Male

Build: Atheltic (2 batlike wings)

Height: 6'3"

WOC: Magic/Illusionist. Also has venomous spine at tip of tail (hypnotic narcotic venom doesn't kill but makes victim VERY suggestible).

Wears: Brown pantaloons, white shirt and a brown jacket

Marital Status: Never Married

History:

Marvel's ovum was laid in an archeologist on Earth. He matured and pupatated in this human's body, as did all of his species at the time, and then took his place in the infantry of the underworld. Owing to the fact that he retained his host's ability to read, among other things, he rose through the ranks and was transferred into the underworld's Diplomatic Corps.

He escaped the underworld when the information reached him that his master had come to feel that he knew too much about an ongoing conflict. He once again entered earth, where he took human form and tried to blend in, eventually learning moving on to Anarion when he acquired sufficient skill to pass as a native. Once there, he met an Angel who removed the Curse of his species from him, making him able to reproduce as a mammal. Only problem: there are now no females of his species.

Lives now as a migrating worker--help with a harvest here, build a wall there, commune with the local magic users when they get together. Because others can try to burn him at the stake if they find out what he is, he has learned to live alone. Wants to come "out of the closet" and get some respect from the humans. Though his nature is good, he still retains the memories of the time he spent as a minion of evil and can be quite the trickster when the need arises.

He is primarily a magic user, but still has some weapons training from his time as a grunt soldier. He is a very good illusionist, but does not cast other types of spells as well.

love the Paint program artistry. lol.

anyway.....i think Saacon kinda needs to look at his strategy a bit. Thundering through the woods is gonna ruin the element of surprise alot.

True, but it's pretty much a rule of thumb that the more armor you wear, the more invincible you feel and less rational your thought processes are. I think that's why every tanker I've ever met act like morons. Don't get me wrong, I like them but they have got to be some of the least intelligent people I've ever met.

Also, I'm not opposed to the lance snapping off in the chest of the first demon it hits.

I'm attempting to heal the girl. Anytime I mention Saacon laying his hands on someone, he's attempting to heal them. It's one of the few useful abilities he has.


Alright! MY first major accomplishment: eating a fireball.

so.......are you objected to Saacon dieing cause of his stupidity....i mean these were just grunts, wait till you get the minotaurs and such out there...OUCHIEESSS......

I'm just a tad miffed that I failed to accomplish anything useful other than distracting one of the demons. I'm attepting to redeem Saacon right now by healing and the fact that he no longer has a lance and his armor is no longer super-shiny. He won't attempt to buff it, so it'll stay pretty dark for awhile.

thats cool but i plan for Kast and Kula to get some romanticness in the thread, cause im a hopless romantic and i love that kind of stuff. So i stopped Saacon, i really just through the fireball in there to teach the dude a lesson about not being all flashy and Thunderous, but more about stealth. Thunderousness has its usess. but on the battle field, not in a stealthy mission.

I'm not complaining, I fully understand your reasoning and agree, somewhat. But it comes back to roleplaying. As a knight, the sum and total of his combat experience cosists of noisy fighting. As a Paladin, he is barred from doing anything remotely dishonest such as stealth killing. The code he lives by dictates that the enemy be given at least some warning of their impending doom.

so hes a jap...lol......dont kill your enemy while hes sleeping wake him up and then kill him. any way......well see

He's not Japanese, he's a Paladin. They lose they're holyness for the most minute of offenses. They are unable to do evil even in the name of the greater good. For instance, he can't torture or allow the torture of a villain even if that villain possesses information that could save millions of innocents because torture is an evil act.

Actually, the closest to Japanese you're going to get is Coravel. His fighting style is definately asian, and he's weilding a slightly curved sword...

He's not a ninja though; he does not flip out and kill people. Nor is he samurai as their honor code is even more restrictive than a Paladin's. That and asian armies fought under different rules than european ones. A samurai's fighting methid would get him killed here. Rather, he has simply dedicated his life to the blade and its use.

Ninjas bring up a question though: What was with Kast and Hunter nija jumping from tree to tree like a Naruto episode?

Um not really, as happens in most forests is trees grow close to eachother, limbs will actually make a walkway, if youre balanced enough. Elves have incredible balance, and Hunter has been taught the way of the elves so hes pretty good too.

Awww, how cute...and anime-ish. Anyway, I can't think of something to build off of that with. So...tag, you're still it.

Anybody mind if I bring my character into the RP, then?

If there are no objections, please indicate the most pallatable manner in which he can enter. I recommend that the sojourners find him and, recognising that he is a demon, attempt to dispose of him, but that, by holding his own and not trying to harm them, he shows them that he is not their enemy, and joins the quest.

You'd have to talk to Anarion/Tarsonis about that. Especially since he's going on vacation. Hey, Anarion. Where exactly are you going anyway?

Anarion:

So...if you're still there, regarding my recent post in the "To Save Anarion" OOC thread...may I make a post allowing my character to enter the RP. It is my humble opinion that his striving to come to terms with the other characters in the RP will keep things busy while you're gone, and we can rap things up and make peace among us about the time you get back.

I'm also posting this TG in the OOC thread, BTW.

Is it acceptable that my character enter the RP?

I havent talked on here yet apart fro introducing myself and my character anyway

Alreic can move between objects similar to Vincent Valentine in Advent Children

alos later on in the story would it be possible to involve a side story featuring Alreics son?

Technical question:

When this thread drops off the board--which it will if nobody posts to it for over a week--how does one go about finding it again?

I have tried setting up a URL that points to a thread. When I clicked on it, what I got was that thread as of the day I copied the URL from my browser. Needless to say, I didn't have much use for something that old.

Is there a way to get a direct link to a thread?

i search on the forusm for tarsonis so i can post back up so people can see it, i did it with dead thraeds ages ago and got them up and running once more

if anyone siterested ive got a new thread up, arcadeos nows about it

I might be interested in involving my character in that thread instead of this one, but I would need a reasonable explanation of where such a character would come from. There doesn't seem to be a decent back story in the thread that you've set up.

Forgot to mention...

The forum is giving me problems. It's logging me out and not giving me posting privaleges when I sign back in as my main nation, The Dominion of Dastardly Stench. Because of this, I am using a "posting puppet" nation called, appropriately, Marionetonia.

Same person, different nation.

Also, thanks for the info, but the "search the forum" thing hasn't worked for me for months. Don't know what's up with it, but when I click on "search the forum," nothing happens.

Right click on the link and when the menu pops up choose "open in new tab" (if you're using firefox) or "open in new window". That's worked for me so far.

Thanx! I got forum tools now! Kewl! Thanx again!

Well...since tomorrow is the day when our Inferious Leader is scheduled to return...I guess I'll wait for the Blessed Event to happen.

BTW...I think that what Anarion meant by calling our Paladin friend "a jap" was that he is a WARRIOR with an INFLEXIBLE MORAL CODE. In that sense, the knights of medievel europe and the samaurai were very much alike. More than a few of both subscribed to the "warrior mentality"--that, in battle there are two options: victory and death. This was seen in both the German and Japanese armies in WWII (it was no coincidence that those two nations were allies).

Exactly, If Saacon deviates from that code in the slightest he loses every benefit and ability he gained for being a pally.

That all said, I think it would be a benefit to the story if, after they settle their differences with my character (if he's allowed to join), Marvel uses his diplomatic training to sweet-talk Tarsonis into exchanging his armor for something that is more appropriate to the type of combat in which he is certain to be engaged. He need not sacrifice his code of honor in doing this, and that is something that Marvel can point out.

the back story is just an overview. Like our history is today. Izagoth, attacked was defeated, and left as chaos. now its attacking again. The history can be written as you go i guess.

Hey, hey! Welcome back! *dances (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/kittycat.php)* Let the thread continue!

Not THAT back story, the back story of where my character comes from.

My point isn't that the back story of the REALM was poorly done--it was adequate. My point is that my character's species doesn't fit into it.

Hey, hey! Welcome back! *dances (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/kittycat.php)* Let the thread continue!

Yes...and please give permission for my character to join or reject him and let me take my creative energies, such as they are, elsewhere. It's been over a week. I'm running out of patience.

sorry, thought i had, whatever hes cool. that being said, someone post, im having mad writers block.

sorry, thought i had, whatever hes cool. that being said, someone post, im having mad writers block.

Thanx. Will do.

alright....no more writers block.....thank god and those who posted.........heres my plan. Im gonna bind Marvel in a spell of Bindment(how redundant). The spell keeps him from being able to use his magic, and we'll lock him in spell cast shackles. If he really is good.....which im sure he is but my characters dont know, he'll have to prove him self.

Plan was to have him join the group of his own free will, after some minor contention. I was getting pissed before I read that last post that suggested a different plan.

I'm still pissed. It's still godmodding, and will be until I sign off on it--which I didn't. At least now I know whom to blame. I had some disrespectful things in store for the other characters, whose writers I regarded (and still regard) as complicit in the plot against my character. Although I didn't actually do any of them, I suggested that Saacon's armor turn into boxer shorts with red hearts all over them; Aelric turn into a giant, plucked chicken; Coravel get his own personal straightjacket and Draconis get smothered in medieval dental floss.

Before I read the post about the plan, I felt that the satire evened the score for the godmodding. Now, I'll let it drop for the time being.

I don't like this plan. I much preferred the original one. I'd like to show what my character can do, and I can't do that if he's bound and gagged--so I'll tell you what: I'll sign off on this plan if we can get the other members of the group to sign off on the following:

* Cerefis is put on a leash and forced to wear a muzzle.

* Saacon's armor rusts solid with him in it.

* Aelric gets his wings chopped off and has to fend as a human for a while.

* Draconis gets a crucifix fastened around his neck.

* Coravel gets a massive dose of thorazine.

Mind you, I'm not really serious--just trying to get a few people's attention. Maybe these suggestions will allow others to understand why I'm so pissed. They're all equivalent to what you're doing to my character. Would YOU sign off on them? Mind you, I haven't taken these beyond the suggestion stage--and I haven't started godmodding with anyone else's characters. I have cause to be more pissed than anybody would even if these suggestions were carried out without their consent, which is what you were trying to do to me. You've gone a step beyond that.



I have quite a temper--it runs in the family--and quite a sense of satire. Fortunately, it hasn't gotten out of hand...yet. Let's try to see that it doesn't.


Let's come up with a plan that we can ALL live with, please.




If we can't think of anything else, we can always have the thulu ants come back and force the group to fight together instead of fighting each other. If they were under the control of demonic forces, they would make a formidible adversary.

OOC: Keep in mind that this is my thread. If you had bothered to check the OOC thread i alredy said what i was planning on doing with ure character, which i claim the right to do seeing as this is my story. If you dont want to go along wit it then leave.

And another thing... im not godmodding, RPing ure characer dieing or some major action such as walking off a high cliff or rping him fully is godmodding, not saying how a large treewolf, taking him completely by surprise tackling him, and neither is me placing a spell of Bindment on him with out him realizing it. Ure magic would have no effect, but making ure character unaffected by magic other people kast is godmodding as well especially when ure character is by FAR younger and less experianced. I understand what ure saying by having us sign off on everything, but the only problem is it takes to friggen long.

Lets look at this rationally, Your character is A Demon from the Izagoth, (cause there isnt really an underworld in Anarion.) Why in the hell would any of our characters trust yours. If he is good as he says, he will have to prove himself, by like almost getting killed for one of the characters, or a villige or something like that. Until then hes shackled, and pulled by Saacon or Aleric. The plan was the villege they were staying at to get some supplies would be attacked by a demon raiding party, which the Heroes would the help defend aggainst. this would give Marvel the chance to prove his worth. the defending the town plot has been my plan since Kula was thrown into the mix. and i worked ure character into that.

Well...now that I've calmed down a bit...

Keep in mind that, in the last RP that I used Marvel in, the guy who started the thread killed Marvel off involuntarily NOT because he controlled somene else's character, NOT because I took any action that interfered with the plot of the story, but because Marvel came into the story in a place where His Royal Moronicness didn't deign for Marvel to be. Chronosia (that stuck-up jerk) wrote the death scene.

That was on the Young World website. I've since moved the affected
nation out of that region. I got most of the rules that I quoted from
them. Maybe they're a little different over here. I don't know.

Now that I've calmed down a bit, I have no problem with your authority. I don't like the fact that nobody tried to send me to this thread--I'm a Liberal, and believe in the "We're In This Together" (WITT) approach rather than the "You're On Your Own" (YOYO) approach, but I can respect your wishes. And I can understand why you'd want to respond with some tension to my tempermental post.

That said, over five years spent as a freelance fiction editor tells me that we could do better pooling our abilities than you can do by imposing your will. There's gotta be a better way to do this than unceremoniously shackling a mage of Marvel's ability. You could at least render him unconscious beforehand. :) :) :)

And another thing... im not godmodding, RPing ure characer dieing or some major action such as walking off a high cliff or rping him fully is godmodding, not saying how a large treewolf, taking him completely by surprise tackling him, and neither is me placing a spell of Bindment on him with out him realizing it.

I don't happen to agree with this, but...as long as I know that them's the rules, I can abide. Since it would not be reasonable to expect either of us to change our mind, I'm going to just take this one for the team. Mind you, I'll be watching REAL CAREFULLY from now on. Abuse of authority is one of only two things--arrogance being the the other--in the presence of which I allow my temper full reign. You seem to mean well, and it can be argued that I asked for you to pound on your chest a little when I lost my temper, but it's a borderline case, so I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Fine, but that works both ways. He's learned to dislike the goody-two-shoes types--they tend to persecute him--and he hates being bound. He'll struggle. You'd better knock him out first if you're going to take him somewhere. He's also going to hold a grudge against the troop if they tie him up. Just as he is going to have to earn their trust, they are going to have to earn his.

I guess that all of us have got our work cut out for us.

I guess it makes no difference to me whether Marvel shows off his good side at the village against a humongous horde of demons or if he shows it off at the edge of the forrest against a humongous horde of ants or...if there was some other way. The affect is still the same.

I reserve the right to have Marvel decide to give Kast a good ol' fashioned sock in the jaw when the business in the village was all over--for holding him prisoner. After all, if it's not godmodding for a giant wolf to knock Marvel off his feet, it's not godmodding for Marvel to knock Kast off his feet. :) :) :)

BTW, if you're going to knock Marvel out, watch out for that tail of his while you're at it. It's got quite a stinger on it.

BTW...the thought had occurred to me that...if Marvel had been turned about a century ago...might not Aelric have heard about it? After all, these things don't exactly happen as a matter of routine.

To better indicate my acquiescance to The Plan, I have just written a post where Marvel is rendered unconscious.

Perhaps we can move on now--if I was a road block, then I have been removed as such.

OK: the back story in more detail.

This was all part of a thread I was running on the Young World when the actions of a few arrant martinets caused me to leave in disgust. One name has been changed to adapt the story to the world of this RP: "Hell" has been changed to "Isgoroth."

In the Duchy of Yendor, Duke Rodney the Ridiculous (not called this to his face) was tired of not getting any respect--so he made a deal with Isgoroth. A small expeditionary force of Red Gargoyle Demons would come into the Duchy (sp?) and clean out his enemies. Naturally, there were a few things that he didn't realize.

What he got for his troubles was a belly full of demon eggs.

Things were going along just fine for the demons and their Isgorothi masters...but there was something that they didn't realize, either.

A former diplomat in the employ of a very minor warlord by the name of SmashMouth (the warlord, not the diplomat) was living in the region, in the guize of a human. The Isgorothi diplomat's name was Marvel, but that is a small matter. Marvel happened to be a Red Gargoyle Demon, too. He knew all about their life cycle. He was also well-educated for a Red Gargoyle, and an accomplished illusionist. He had escaped from SmashMouth after the latter decided that he knew too much about some minor plot or other and tried to have him executed.

When the RG's tried to infest the countryside, they strayed onto the farm where he was helping with the harvest--and, then, the turf battle was on.

With the aid of an unlikely band of townsfolk--a cursed demon hunter, a half-demon thief and the Duke's evil Court Wizard--he defeated their plans and sent them packing. That was the easy part. The tough part was that Isgoroth then sent a Sanitation Detail to turn the whole Duchy into a smudge on the map.

Yendor Keep was an interesting castle. It was built into the side of an inactive volcano, Mount Yendor. Together, Marvel and the Court Wizard held off the horde by faking the volcano's reactivation and eruption.

The angels, it turns out, had been watching him for years. They seemed to think that he might have been an Isgoroth "sleeper" who would "wake up" one day and reak havoc if he wasn't watched. After the non-battle of Yendor, they came to believe that he could be made into an ally...so that's what they did. He would not allow them to make him human, and they do precious little magical works--especially on those who have worked in their interests--without the consent of the victim--er--subject. :) :) :) So, they reached a compromise and altered his reproductive system to make it mamalian instead of external fertilization.

That left Marvel as a celebrity in Yendor--except for one small hitch. The evil wizard had usurped the Dukedom and wanted to disect and study him. He left by night and never looked back.

...and that's the back story.

If this is acceptable, let me know. If not, please suggest changes.

sry for the lack of posts, im having severe writers block again....so if anyone wants to just fast forward the plot go ahead.

As for the backstory.......one its Izagoth......and two........um Izagoth has been devided into Race Factions for centuries....so you might wanna make it just a race faction, not the whole Izagoth that he made a deal with.

Thank you for the critique. Would it be OK to make the Red Gargoyles a face in Izagoth, then?

seeing as i have only described two of the many races of demon, i dont see why not, but keep in mind, the age of Factions in Isagoth are over, the Factions have all been united under the Red Hand.

Perhaps, but...Marvel would not be privy to this information...yet.

true

when we reach the angel city i shall mention the reason why Alreic is distrustful of angels and a bit more of his back story


also for now i will ahve Alreic fight hsi urges as a vampire, ebing around the vampila ill have him feel strange and almost more vampire like as well

i.e. urges for blood and feeding etc

Do you feel it appropriate for Marvel's own thirst for blood, such as it is, to become public?

You could introduce Marvels bloodlust later on when hes fully been integrated into the group and is trustedd


I also have an idea for another part of Alreic's backstory and why he joined this quest to coem to light much later on

It is not so much that Marvel lusts for blood--he can get along quite nicely without it, thank you--but that his body requires certain proteins found most abundantly in mammalian blood in order to manufacture the venom that can come from his tail.

(Forgive me if this sounds a little clinical, but I designed Marvel to have some specific foibles, and some back stories that I haven't brought to light yet. The venom/blood thing plays an intimate role in one of these.)

ah so Marvels tail creates the venom it uses form mammalian blood

nice idea i think

and Alreic only requires blood every quarter year so 3 months being part human and part angel as well as a vampire

his backstory concerns his son and the reason why he donest like the angels of lost jerusalem

hence why im having him relucttant to enter

Every good character has a good inner conflict.

:) :) :)

So...anybody wanna share the goals they have for their characters in this RP?

Mine is simple: you've all seen how pathetic Marvel is in close combat. I want him to get involved with someone who can teach him a little spell or two that he can use to defeat an opponent. He really does have a talent for magic. You may have noticed that he can sniff out the inner details of a spell--instead of just "putting a spell on" something, he gets into the nuts and bolts, for lack of a better term, of it. Someone needs to show him how to use that to prevent another mage--or a warrior--from clobbering him.

That...and maybe find an angel to "fall" for him in Lost Jerusalem. :) :) :)

Anybody else?

Sorry for lack of postage. I've been kinda busy. I got out of the military and now I'm looking for a job(s) and maybe going to school again.

Yay! I posted in time for a fight! To end the complaints about Saacon's armor, he pretty much wrecked it when he went through the wall and will receive some battle damage as well. It'll be pretty much totalled after this fight. Oh, and Coravel's in trouble on the far side of town. I finally got to have him do something, but there's only so much one (hu)man can do.

OK. This idea for the failure of Marvel's spell struck me shortly after I logged off.

What if the SG spell was supposed to produce a big, black cloud that shot off lightning that hit all the bad guys in the chest and killed them.

What if, at the end of the spell, when Marvel was supposed to put his hands on his heart and chant just the right magic word, something stopped him--a demon breaking through the defenses, a gust of wind, some random event--and caused him so much pain that, instead, he put his hands on his rear end and gasped.

This would have two affects:

1) The spell would no longer specifically target the bad guys. EVERYONE would get it, and MARVEL would be the first one hit.

2) Instead of hitting people in the chest, it hit 'em...a little lower down. :) :) :)

This would still drive off the bad guys...but it would also ensure that everyone in the party would have a healthy paranoia about Marvel's ability to cast complex spells.

And, as a bonus, it would trash Saacon's armor...in a very noticable way. :) :) :)

I was also thinking that the group could get together after the battle, share some ale and bond a little. Marvel could get tipsy and divulge the contemptuous names he had for the other members of the group. Then, they could give HIM a name--PITA.

PITA, of course, is an acronym, not a name. It stands for

Pain In The...Anatomy

:) :) :)

bump

I'm going to have Alreic reveal certain things about the vampire world to everyone and ultimtaely reveal part of his back story and one of the mainreasons why he has chosen to coem on this quest

it features his family and his aim for the vampire world

The threads will go like this.

Pt. 1 To save anarion. (should have been called Azeroth, but w.e)
At the end of this one theyll get the sword but be too late. Hunter will die giving Draconis enough time to make a portal to the Earth Relm. Your characters can do as they wish, go back to defend their homelands, die helping my characters escape, its your choice.




Pt 2 Flames of War (RP on earth, in which i only plan to have Kula, Draconis and Kast make it to. Your all welcome to create new characters for that thread, The characters you have now, providing they dont die, are perfectly welcome to be reused in the third thread.


In Flames of war. The Red hand will Invade the Earth, by way of France. And the world, being much larger and Powerful than Anarion, will try to fight back, but only with the help of My three characters(and whichever you comeup with) will they push the Red hand back into anarion.


Pt 3 Tears of the Fallen. Kast Kula and Draconis, return to Anarion, with some help from Earth. They rally the people to fight against the Red hand and push them back to the Izagoth, in this thread the leader of the Red hand will be revealed and destroyed (im working on a twist for this) The world is devided over the issue and some people fight for the red hand.

As for the vampires, The new "serpentine" whom i shall name Ithora has taken control of the Vampire people who now attack at will across the Anarion. They serve the red hand. Kula's father is in exile. But he comes back with a rogue faction of Vampires, who ride into battle along side Kast, and the elves. Tarsonis, and Eriador, two of the three human city states will ride with The Elves. Andrasil, the third human nation, sides with the Izagoth because its ruler desires power. Also the angels will make a cool appearence. Because as the characters will discover upon reaching Lost Jerusalem, a young Angel has become the new ruler, but he is very wise and realizes that Angels are no better than anyother race, and that they are apart of Anarion as well and are there for a purpose. Because of their brave actions, The Anarion will be devided up to the Races so each will have its own nation and be independant of the Elves.

the rogue vampire element you could speak could eb Alreic's own people, as his back story is that he ws exiled for ebing too un vampire like etc and that he and others who fought the last serpentine wee banished and so they formed a community where all worked together and a few non vampires lived amongst them but you could have their numbers swell due to the serpentine

And possibly you could use Alreic's only child as the serpentine? because i want to have him involved somehwere because i want Alreic to fight him as his son is less liek him and more vicous even tho he is half angel

well see its still two threads away

As far as I am concerned, yes, bring back Coravel. However...two things: first, the pally can't help as he exhausted himself on the doomy-death-beam. Second, instead of traversing the astral plane insearch of Coravel's soul, I was curious if you'd be up to doing something else. Now, I mentioned in his profile and made several allusions in character to his fragile grip on reality. How do you feel to a sojourn in his shattered mind. We could even open it up to the rest of the party and make it a group task to find the fragments of his personality.

As an aside, I'm surprised you know about the different planes. Do you by any chance play D&D?

As another aside, Everyone can quit complaining about Saacon's armor now. It's been totalled and he'll get some chain.

In fact, I asked if you wanted this to happen earlier. I wouldn't mind a bit. But I thought that Coravel was schizophrenic--that his senses gave him false data, and he couldn't tell the real world from the false visions. This is a VERY different from a personality disorder.

As an aside, I'm surprised you know about the different planes. Do you by any chance play D&D?

No. I'm a 42-year-old Moron with a Mensa Card. I edit fiction freelance as a sort of a paid hobby. I have tons and tons of useless knowledge floating around in my mind, and it just keeps oozing out. Example: the differencce between Schizophrenia and Multiple Personality Disorder. Nothing I can do about it. Wish I could use it to get a decent job, but that seems to be asking too much.

Nor is the Astral Plane a uniquely D&D concept. It has appeared in comic books and novels.

As another aside, Everyone can quit complaining about Saacon's armor now. It's been totalled and he'll get some chain.

Too bad the foiled SG spell never came through. The picture of Saacon with his rear end smoking but unhurt (the ARMOR got fried, the BUTT didn't) struck me as particularly humorous.

Forgive me, please, if I treat your characters as I treat my own. We all start from ourselves and work our way out. It has occurred to me that I am the only one here who feels that his character should have an occasional spectacular failure, and that it should be funny when this happens. I apologise in advance for any trouble that this attitude of mine may cause.

The threads will go like this.

I'd like mine to SURVIVE helping your characters escape (he knows about earth--he was born there--he's just keeping his mouth shut about it) and (though this should be left ambiguous in the first thread) attempt to infiltrate the Red Hand.

Pt 2 Flames of War (RP on earth, in which i only plan to have Kula, Draconis and Kast make it to. You're all welcome to create new characters for that thread, The characters you have now, providing they dont die, are perfectly welcome to be reused in the third thread.

I have a character named The Metal Man whom I have used in other threads. He would be on earth at this point in his personal timeline. He was a 18th-century frontiersman who was abducted by aliens and cybernated at about 1750. He returned to earth around 1870. He left again around 2450. That puts him there when your characters will be there.

The Metal Man is very different from Marvel. He is quite serious and quite formidible.

In Flames of war. The Red hand will Invade the Earth, by way of France. And the world, being much larger and Powerful than Anarion, will try to fight back, but only with the help of My three characters(and whichever you comeup with) will they push the Red hand back into anarion.

Any chance that a Mrs. Marvel could come from all of this? :) :) :)

Pally=paladin, doomy death beam=whatever it was he just did. He has exhausted his divine abilities for now and thus cannot help with healing Coravel.

As for Coravel's mental stability, I never said what his affliction was, only that he was slightly insane. Admittedly, I know next to nothing about mental disorders, up till recently I was a fighter mechanic in the Air Force. So yes, by all means, enter his mind. I will endeavor to make it a trippy and slightly maddening venture.

as much as i like the Find is personality scheme, im thinking of just letting him die, cause as intresting as Coravel was, we dont have time to do that. The red hand gains power everyday, the heroes dont have the time to do something like that.

And im thinking of making a 4th thread in which the Heroes invade the Izagoth to defeat the red hand.

I agree that we shouldn't take too much time on this. I'd like to propose a compromise: something that will bring Coravel back without taking forever.

As you know, I've suggested that the "cracks" in the field of his psyche be sublimated memories.

Well...sublimated memories don't have to return just one at a time. They can return in clusters.

Thus, restoring a few "main" memories could get Coravel's mind to the point where it would be...adequate. They could go back to finish fixing things later, or we could just allude to sessions where Coravel and the shrink-de-jour did their stuff.

Is this acceptable?

it seems acceptable, I'm all for it

anyoen else?

Im just going back to the first post in the OOC and i saw something there which made em think

I'm going to add in a character who is against them if thats ok with you people, this thread needs to have something working aginst them and ive got a character who can do that right now

We're waiting...

(or some of us are, anyway!)

:) :) :)

btw my idea of introducinga character who seeks to work against the companion Alreic's son...so imagien a really cruel bastard version of Alreic

this thread needs a POV of evil

Name: Vergil Aruthma
Age: 2032 looks 24
Race: Half Vampire half angel like his father before him
Hair: white
Eyes: black
Skin: Pale white
Sex: Male
Build: Atheltic
Height 6'2"
WOC: A katana made from volcanic stone and forged by demons of the red hand and designed by elven warriors millenia ago...
Wears: A blue long jacket, regal design almost fitting of a prince, white and black body armour underneath with riding boots or boots similar
Marital Status: Unknown
History: Born into the angel world but shunned by many as well as his father, after witnessing his mothers murder at the hands of his uncle, he always swore revenge on angels, unlike his father he chose not only to seek revenge on the angel world but on the vampire wprld as well for it had shunned him fro being an angel halfling

Vergil was responsible for the murder of the entire Vampire council and for the restoration of the serpentine ruler of the the Vampire world

soon after he had vanished, some say to the Izagoth to seek more power and to challenge the ruler of the underworld much like his father had done when he led the vampire world to war...

many sightings have been seen of him more and more lately & soem say he leeds red hand forces others say he is restoring the vampire world

& others claim he is looking for his father...

Something also has to be done to improve Marvel's combat skills--either as a fighter or, more probably, as a mage. He can't take care of himself the way things are now. He's gotten away with gimmicks, but, if he keeps that up, his luck is going to run out.

I'd like to have him concoct a "magic spell" that takes the tarnish off of silver--from lemons, wire, water and a few chemical powders. Uh huh. The spell would make him very popular among the Angels, because it would leave the silver without a hint of magical coercion when it was done. It would get him access to the upper crust of the Angels, because they'd want their silver eating utensils to be nice and silvery again. And that would get him access to those who can teach magic...and who would give him the means to become a competant magic user...when the demons attack Lost Jerusalem, as we all know they're going to.

OK?

Well, folks, I guess I did it.

I had presumed that the group would stick around Lost Jerusalem long enough for Pelebrius (sp?) to welcome Tess into the Angels and give her the "sex change operation" that she needed.

Oh well.

In other news, it would help if we knew where the group was going as far as that volcano-of-a-majig is concerned. Is there a path into it or something?

Regarding Tarsonis' recent comment in the OOC thread:

I have no problem with the spell "wearing off"--in fact, I was going to have Marvel "deactivate" it after the group crosses the bridge.

I'm also toying with the idea of having some being or beings with magical powers watch the group as they progress on their path--a guardian or guardians looking to make sure that the "impure" don't get their hands on the stuff in that vault.

I'm also toying with the idea of having the group get into trouble and have Tess, now changed, show up and help out.

oh theres a gaurdian alright, but its not some magical being. Its the the 5th Eldar that no one knows about, the High Dragon General Ormus

I was hoping that there would be a dragon at the bottom of that mountain.

I'd like to put a little point of interest before you.

It is said that some dragons become so oracular that they can "see" or foresee all of creation.

Could it be that this dragon is ALMOST one such?

In fact, could it be that this dragon's "vision" is so complete that it itself BELIEVES that it has foreseen all of creation?

What, then, would happen if, in the middle of this scene, it finds itself in the company of a turned demon, a creature spoken of in NO prophesy quoted so far, that it itself has not foreseen as coming into its company?

This, of course, has required TWO very, very low probability things to happen. FIRST, a demon from Azgoroth would have to have a change of heart and survive long enough to get away with it. SECOND, a leader of profound wisdom would have to have the understanding and boldness to look past this creature's outward form and include it in his group of crusaders.

Of course, taken together, these two happenstances are so unlikely as to be well nigh impossible!

So what would it do to our guardian when it happens right in front of his big, reptillian eyes?

On another, slightly different but related, topic, I was hoping that there would be more than the dragon under the mountain that was guarding that path. :) :) :) I was hoping for a troop of somekind, and for ensourcelments that they might cast.

I was thinking, however, that, except for Marvel, they would recognise the group as being the followers of the prophesy, and that this would cause them to treat the group VERY GENTLY as they make their little tests that do indeed prove that these are the guys the prophesy speaks of.

:) :) :)

Mariontona, its Izagoth, not Azgorath, Azaroth is the name of the Sword.

The Oramus, is very old, very very old, he saw teh dracolorian wars, and with him all prophecy has been known. But his sole purpose in this is to gaurd the sword so that only the chosen one may weild it. There only 1 member mention by name and thats Dragonarus, the arch angel. But it is understood the decendents of the Eldar would be there, and infact one of the Eldar would be the chosen one, not the Archangel, hes the Protector of the Chosen one. any other people arent mentions so like Coravel and Alreic and Marvel, There other people who by the winds of fate have become part of the Quest. They have their own prophesy's though. but eah Oramus is just there to protect the sword, and then serve as the Chosen ones General. See the sword gives the Weilder power over the Dragon army.

YOUR post does not prevent MY post. MY post can be thought of as being built upon YOUR post.

Mind you, you may choose not to have your dragon be quite as omniscient as some have (I refer most notably to the dragon in Grendle by John Gardner, who claimed to have seen everything that happened in all of creation, and did not seem particularly impressed); however, if you wish to do this, I would prefer it if you would state so directly. I do not mean this as an insult, but, if you choose to debate with me, as opposed to pulling rank, I would prefer that your argument addresses the particulars of mine. (I will not take it as an insult if you choose to pull rank, either.)

Just wanted to remind you, as this thread slips into "next week" status, that I will support whatever decision you make, though I would prefer a definitive, reasoned explanation, if you choose to offer one.

Hey! I'm alive again, sorry for the extended inactivity; work and such. I can jump back in if there aren't any objections.

I don't think that anybody would mind, but the RP is almost over.

The story would probably have reached its end by now, except that the thread founder barely takes the time to post anymore.

tarsonis was delted hes back soon tho:]

THE PLAN:

as Vergil is coming back from his scrum with the others, Marvel, Alreic and Oramus take flight. Of course, the Red Hand Army has broken through the walls and attacks them the instant they try to lift off--in fact, a contingent of troops flies up to attack them.

It is AT THIS EXACT MOMENT that they discover that the three would-be escapees are, in fact, one of Marvel's illusions--as Alreic, Marvel and Oramus bring the ceiling down upon them. Since Oramus can't fly, Marvel fires up a big ball of magic, with The Electric Sword pointing out the top of it, and they punch through the side of the mountain.

All this perturbation sets off the volcano. It erupts. Marvel is so exhausted from carrying Oramus to safety that he can't even stand up, much less escape. It's up to Oramus and Alreic to save him. Will they?

:) :) :)

BTW, how did Tarsonis get deleted, and why can't he use the same puppet to post that he used to TG me earlier this week? You folks aughtta know by now that Marionetonia is a posting puppet for the Dominion of Dastardly Stench. Why should I be the only one to use this technique?
