Hmmm, 700 years at max maybe? 500-600 average?
Seluna
What about 560? I determined the other lifespans by multiples of 80 so why not the elves too?

I don't really like having species that live for extemely long, it's not something I'm comfortable imagining. Besides, if I gave the three rare species up to a thousand, all other species have to be lower and for most, significantly lower.
Vex Core
It works for me. I'll lower my elf's age due to this.

X shaped scar on his left pectoral muscle as well to her miscellaneous scars that are slowly fading away. Pierced ears with are not wimpy and little but plugs created out of stone as well to three thin black bands on his left fore arm with tiny dots on the top and bottom, following another culture’s ways of self-decoration only that far.

General Appearance: A naturally dark male of deep mocha flesh and dark gray almost black hair that mixed between curling and straight as it reached like a halo touching his nose tip easily. All these dark features accented his pale and quite vivid green pools with cat like pupils that were framed by ashy lashes and trimmed brows. Liam has slightly thick and pouty lips that as to his looks quite much giving some type of cultured look than being thin lipped like many a male. He has a slight if not short beard in which collects mostly at his chin and trails up to the corners of his jaws but it is usually is shaven after a few days. Being quite tall and lean and blessed with broad shoulders and long legs making him even more attractive. Liam never became overly muscle bound but quite toned enough to show enough definition of muscle just not over done and disgusting. Large hands with well manicured nails, and he wears glasses when he reads. In Height, Liam came to 6 foot 5 and the weight of two hundred pounds. Even he looked quite rough (Playful and dominant), serious, and other qualities rolled in to one package.

Weapon of choice: A large broad sword, in which it was old, making it ordinate and of course heavy. Passed down through his family (Father’s side) for generations, so there are small nicks and stains of blood on the hilt and base of the blade through countless battles and sights of bloodshed.

Clothing: He rarely changes his style clothing or attire for any one, finding comfort in what he knows.
1. Starting with pants they took on a denim like material that was black as well as tight ‘pon his lower frame with a thick leather belt with a silver belt buckle holding it to his narrow hips. But of course the ends of his pant legs folded in to shin high boots created from darken and well to hardened leather and silver giving only an inch of height as silver worked over the majority of the sole, buckles and clasps, and basic amour (more like decoration) for his feet. At times he wore no shirt at all with a sword breaker at his hip and broadsword in his scabbard slung across his back when he did wear a shirt how ever it was tight as well on his body either created from a soft mixture of silk and cotton and was short of sleeve. But over his shirt was a dyed black coat that was tight in the sleeve department and loose in the torso as it trailed down to the backs of his knees as the collar, sleeve cuffs, and tail were trimmed in the same mythril (silver) as his boots were. As his shoulders were adorned with armor that was lightweight, close to body/flat and the same matching silver of his entire outfitting. The sleeve ends disappeared in to ivory bracers that reached up to his elbows from the wrists that hade a scalloping pattern at the top with grommets punched in at each bow and Mythril armored gloves that the armor only covered the top of his hand and fingers both gloves and bracers were ribbed in vertical pattern.

Personality: Liam is dominant, serious, intelligent, unbending and not submissive to any ones wants, needs or will. But he does have a humorous or goofy side where he is pleasant to be around some of the time. He was possessive of items and people he liked by showing greed or typical draconic traits for hoarding and protection of his ‘treasures’. Liam hates or detests following rules or commands of others he doesn’t like being somewhat of a spitfire and short of temper showing some violence in certain situations thus the many scars on his body. But he was polite, and courteous on first meetings with people, a charmer as you will. Liam is a reluctant lover, a huge teddy bear to the one he could give his heart to but he has not found a match yet thus keeping his cycle of dominance, intelligence, and etc


Biography:
Liam Da’naan was born an only child of a human mother and a dragon father close to the past of 400 years after the Demon Lord’s War. They lived in a well if not comfortably in a slightly urban town. As a child Liam looked pale in flesh, large in eye and curl of dark glistening hair as he led an active lifestyle where his parents cared much for his education as well to his physical and emotional conditions. He was taught by both parents of his bloodlines past of dragons and humans as well to folklore and culture that came with it, this dove him in to the love of history and learning as well to fighting and other forms of exercise. Liam was loved unconditionally by his human mother whom left an in standing and most memorable print in his mind as she passed to the other side when he was 16 years of age in Draconian age from disease. Liam knew his father mourned deeply the loss of his mother just as Liam did but now His father raised him until he became adult. Liam wasn’t as close to his father as he was his mother but after due time of spending time and learning from his father Liam created a bond of friendship with his sire. Though the years Liam grew quickly like a beanpole as well muscular from keeping on his regiment of over exercise and studies. In that time Liam’s father never remarried nor was interested in doing so being one of the few that were faithful until death.

During the time of his adolescence Liam was one of two bloods mixed, which was quite rare so that made him a lot stronger in body and faster at learning than other children around him offsetting him from the crowd. But some didn’t like these qualities about him in his schooling era, thus getting into schoolyard fights, which usually Liam turned to be victor of the scuff due to his unruly strength from his draconic side. Soon enough school became too easy or boring for Liam to stand and sit still as he passed his classmates up in flying colors which earned him more fights up to his adulthood. How he obtained the scar on his nose bridge is a mystery in it’s self, nor could he could remember where he obtained it either it was a work related accident which was highly doubtful to a scar from his father training him at a young age. Other scars he could point out and tell their stories of how, when, where and why he got them taking pride of his own body’s past.


Soon enough Liam came in to Draconian adulthood, which was at the age of 18 years soon after than he began to explore his word around him and soak in what information he could obtain about the past. His father started fading away in his life as he explored and lived on his own. Of course he had friends that were close to him to make up for the sparse family he had, having a small crowd rather than being a social butterfly during his youth. During his free time he would study about the ancient times, Exercise (various forms of sword fighting and hand to hand) as well to taking a special girl out on a date. This special girl’s name was Scarlet, but soon after she started to date Liam her eyes wandered to other men. Liam felt quite pleased when he found some one that he could share his love with, but he found out that Scarlet traded him in for a couple of other human boys (men). He felt shame, and anger for being used as only a tool for sex and the status, soon after Liam left Scarlet whom was in tears and screaming at him for being an idiot for leaving her and that he was never worth it. This provoked him to commit an act of violence something he was tempting not to give in to, he spun around and smacked her up the head with the back of his hand causing her a bloody nose from the force applied as he smacked her again with his other hand in a open palm as Scarlet tried to rise. Liam started to like the feel of domination or power knowing his draconic side took over as his ex-girlfriend looked frightened and submissive for once before he smirked and walked away from the situation.

Now he didn’t associate him self closely with any female besides on a friend basis, as Liam decided that after his little situation with
Scarlet. He still had a reputation no matter how much she tried to slander of being a good person at heart, serious and at times goofy after that incident. When Liam turned the ripe age of 21 he worked two full time jobs and one part time one of them was for a bookkeeper that sold old volumes all sorts; the other job he took was to use his muscle as a black smith creating weapons and other lively things. The one part time job he took which he thought was worth his time was doing side mercenary work to use both his intelligence and his brawn. Soon after he got these jobs his own personal time dwindled greatly due to the hours that Liam took up, but he did make money which put food on the table and a roof over his head as well as to well enough more pocket change than a normal bachelor. Many an elder told him over the years that he was going places and he had a good head ‘pon his shoulders. As many years rolled by he worked hard, saved what he could and only used what was necessary for a slightly comfortable life.

Soon Liam got an itching, boredom from the life that he was so comfortable that became a routine. He knew that other towns and larger ‘cities’ would hold more promise for the knowledge of anything to do with the past and present. Liam knew that new struggles, knowledge and etc would come with his move from the middle-sized suburb of a town to wandering with out a shelter like a minstrel or gypsies would. The very notion excited Liam where his brain began to work, wanting to know and feel what others knew and have been through. He knew that he had enough money and a comfortable home filled with familiar things to come back to once his thirst for knowledge would be sated. As age went on, and he traveled going under a more lucrative name such as Aram, knowing that people of his age group would soon become old as he still young and spry and they would figure out his other blood line. If he ever saw any one he knew but their memory faded with age about his existence he would just tell them simply he was the son of Liam when that was a white lie. Then he knew they would reply about how he looked so much like his father than whatever imaginary mother he created. Soon enough those people passed away and he still searched for the information he thirsted getting new things and many old after 60 years he began to travel towards home for once. At that time he was 27 when he left home making him 87 years of human age thus the steam revolution rolled in 20 years before his 90th draconian age.

She is able to stand up for her own rights.


Biography:
Vidula came from a seemingly influential family where she was the youngest out a family of 4 boys and she being the only female offspring with the pale attributes contrasting to the dark of her parents and siblings. Bred in the woods of her elven kinsman both parents were pureblooded elves with long and elaborate branches of family members either living or dead. Being well celebrated at birth by her expansive family after their tries to have a single female elf come from the union of two empowered families. She was pampered to say the least, something she even at the young age came to despise. Even though Vidula knew her parents were trying to look out for her well being as well to comfort, she was never pleased with the fact they tried to make her ‘womanly’ or ‘girly’ in the context of playing with dolls, pretend tea time, and dress up all the time instead of mixing it with other types of play. Vidula only became interested in the knowledge of sciences such as alchemy or biochemistry, which was a derivative of alchemy to the fullest extent. She did however loved to have something of femmine qualities such as dressing up and teatime as long as she was allowed to pursue what she interested more. Of course like doting parents who wanted her to be something she wasn’t they tried to steer her towards becoming a proper woman and that would lead in to marriage of a higher position elven male.

But being the youngest of four elder males meant that she became more interested in the arts of sciences and alchemy. Soon enough the second eldest of the Arban family began to sneak her textbooks on the subject to make sure she actually liked alchemy and other misc sciences that fell under that category. This would be before he would present the idea to his parents that they get a tutor and teach Vidula something she would use in the real life as a job and she would be doing something she would love than being miserable as hell with a rich and stuffy nosed husband as a trophy wife. She knew that she was doomed to be paired with one of the snotty politicians son’s whom boasted their strength could rival dragons and their pockets so deep to afford wife. If her brothers didn’t save her ass from that fate as many high position women had. Yet as any one would was female and in her situation would either have a disgusted look or the look of how their dreams came true. Vidula boasted her most agitated face and anger around them as the men preened like colorful birds trying to catch her eye. Soon enough trough many tries and fails her brothers produced the end product of their labor, the approval from their father after the nagging of allowing her to pursue Alchemy. Even though their mother protested greatly against this, thinking that the time they spent placing her in a school to become a lady would be to waste.

Yet that was were Vidula’s mother was incorrect, as her daughter grew in to a magnificent woman Vidula retained her early on lessons of being polite and lady like for first impressions, at the dinner table and at large scale public affairs. But still her mother disagreed quite heavily on formal education with a tutor or at a school but the father willed that Vidula become an Alchemist in the subcatagorization of Biochemist and so shall it be. During her time of tutoring in basics of alchemy, Vidula was given a tutor whom came almost every day besides Saturdays to teach her the basics and theories of alchemy. But with this Vidula did not have much interaction with people of her age, besides at public events or affairs thus at her young age being quite shy to her age group being better off with adults. But she created friends easily with those of her age, mostly boys as some of the girls looked at her as if bewitched. But what attracted some girls to her were the way she dressed and her different personality. Soon enough she excelled and passed in her late adolescence and early teenage years in basics of alchemy and mediate alchemy thus the tutor was no more because of the limit of knowledge he had on the subjects she wished to study. Along side with her studies in alchemy/biochemistry she did some more effeminate things that obliviously pleased her mother to no end. What Vidula did was kit, sew and leanr how to cook to keep her own personal time busy doing something besides burying her nose in a book or practicing her alchemy all day. What did not please mommy dearest was she was learning hand-to-hand combat from her brothers using brass knuckles and smaller blades. Of course Vidula’s mother was powerless to do anything about her daughter’s interest in more ‘manly’ things such as alchemy/science and fighting.

Vidula grew farther from the influence of her mother and more of her brothers and father. Soon enough she was learning Biochemistry and advanced Alchemy from another tutor that her father hired with the help of the old tutor. She had many set backs from this tutor whom gave a lot more paper work for her as well to testing her theories, and alchemy and biochemistry out on real objects and people (or animals first). At first she didn’t do so well on practicing on smaller animals such as rats or mice and inanimate object but after three months she started to get the hang of using alchemy from basics to hard levels then mastered it at the age of 18 considering her self a genius compared to her already 30 to 40 year old brothers whom mastered many things that they chose to study at an early age. The older she got the more free willed and independent from her parents Vidula became until she moved out entirely from the Arban main home at the age of 28 unlike two of her brothers whom stayed until they reached the ripe age of 35 before moving out of the estate in the tree. Vidula moved in to a smaller more cozy home that she bought with her own pocket change, which soon became a storefront of some sort to her Alchemy and biochemistry. Soon enough a more youthful and higher up politician named Graelam took great interest in Vidula even though he remembered clearly when she was 16 years of age and denying him the right to court her until the proper marriage age of 21.

Soon enough her cozy little storefront/home was bombarded by daily visits by this politician, he treated her as if she was a diviner or some sort of psychic even though he treated her well. Vidula held Graelam in great disdain for treating her as something outside of her optioned profession and he the man soon realized that problem he was creating and apologized formally to her. Soon enough Graelam hired her at the age of 45 as a personal alchemist/biochemist to take care of his scientific needs and wants that fall into that category with out reverting to mediocre Alchemists for their breakthroughs in medicines and etc.
Seluna
Cresi is approved, I was busy with something before and forgot to post that. I think I'll work on the IC soon, the Phoenian can make a later appearance, as long as there is an appearance. In the worst case, I'll take the Phoenian too.
Ember
Name : Rhys Ge’Tuathawyn

Age: 83 (about 20 in Human)

Gender: Male

Eyes: Fiery Red

Hair: Fiery Red

Race: Phoenian

Class: Fire Sorcerer

Distinguishable Marks: He has bird-like wings, reddish-orange in colour. There’s also a nasty scar across his belly, as though he were slashed by something long and cruel.

General Appearance: Rhys has short, bright red hair, that sticks up in back, and bangs that hang in daggers over his blazing eyes. He is tall, at 6’2”, and lightly muscled. His wings are quite large to accommodate his height, but they still only allow him to hover for short times, or glide, when jumping from a high place. His nose has a hawkish shape to it. His eyebrows are fierce and hawk-like, complementing his fiery red eyes, and always giving him a fierce look.

Weapon of choice: Spear (I can’t see him with a staff) His is red painted steel, with long horse hair, as custom, at the tip. It’s 6’5” long, a little taller than he is, also as custom. It has a longish blade at the tip, crescent-shaped.

Clothing: He wears half a dozen rings in each ear. He wears a sleeveless red shirt, black arm-warmers tied to his arm with red cloth. A torque wraps around his right bicep. He wears a long red opened sarong, hemmed with black, and tied at the waist with a black sash. Beneath the sarong, are long, loose-fitting white pants. He wears simple black boots that reach his ankle, though he likes to be barefoot more often than not.


Personality: He is wild and unpredictable. He enjoys an argument, and has a bad temper. But, at the same time, he has a big heart, and he has a very easy time trusting people whom he likes. If he does find you untrustworthy—watch out! Rhys is passionate in everything he does; he learned magic, but insisted on also being good at physical combat. And when he promised he wouldn’t slack, he told the truth. The things he finds boring are tactical meetings and learning boring things like history and geography. He can also be very intense at times, and usually out of nowhere, when one wouldn’t expect it. He has a rather impish smile, and his eyes usually spark with humor. He loves liquor, men, playing with people’s minds, and a good song. He isn’t very good at singing, but he will try anyway. He hates pushy people, being given no choices, and being told what to do.

Biography: He was born the Phoenian Lord’s first and only son, although they have a daughter as well. He was doted on from a young age, and given everything; all the right tutors, the best weapons master possible, the freedom to do as he pleased. But his parents thought he might be given too much freedom when he became the loud, brash man he has become. There wasn’t much they could do to fix it, though his parents said there was great potential for a leader, underneath all that wild, unorthodox unruliness that was their son. He still had a good heart, and he often surprised people with his insight.

The Phoenian race knew that it was a great blessing to have two children in the Lord’s family, and they treated Rhys’ sister, Ruby, with the same love and devotion as the son. She was also fiery and a bit wild, but she was none to be compared to her older brother, who was constantly in trouble, leaving the House grounds to the dangerous territory outside. He usually came back unscathed, but one day, he left and didn’t come back for two weeks, worrying everyone in the House. When he came back, he was grinning triumphantly and telling tales of demons, but there was something behind his eyes that said he had seen more than he let on.

Ruby and Rhys were very close, and when she saw the awful wound across his belly, she would stop at nothing to find out where it came from. Eventually, Rhys told her of a fearsome demon he had met, and his wicked scythe. He was lucky to be alive at all. But he remained close-mouthed as to how he had survived an otherwise killing wound.

Ruby eventually ascended and become a high sorceress, but Rhys was not, for he had shown himself to be too impetuous to be given such an honor. He was still to be the heir to the House, but they hoped it would be a long, long time before he was to take over.


((If you would like me to elaborate or lengthen it anywhere, I will... I had been thinking of being the Phoenian for some time now, but was unsure if I could, until I noticed others with two characters. I hope it is good enough!))
Seluna
It is good, Ember. ^^ I'll start work on the IC as soon as possible now. I will need to re-read everything though... sigh.
Ember
Yay! How many characters do we have in all, anyway? Out of curiosity? My list says 11, but I'm too lazy to check...

About the past and future characters... Do they start in the IC in their native time? And what happens to make them go into the point of time that they do? Will they know what's going on? Or are they unaware of their part as roles?
Seluna
It is up to the characters themselves. Some may be aware of their part as a Role and can figure out what happened but some definitely don't. Most likely, they were warped into the present time by the God of Time when they are sleeping. There has to be an auspicious day for it or something, I don't know.

But It's up to you if you wanted to post a bit of native time and then that of the 'present'. At least, I'm going to do that.

And yes, we have eleven characters. ^^ I've got something really helpful here. Check it out! ^^
Ember
Well, I wanted to type a bit of Rhys at home with his sister, like maybe the day before he gets warped to the present time? As for my introductory post; I post both intros at once, right? (If so, it will probably be very long ^^ But that's good, right?)

And I had made Ruby (Rhys' sister) a High Sorceress so the two past characters would be connected in a way. (If you were wondering) I hope that was okay (it must, if you approved the bio, right?) I already have an idea for both character's intro posts, which is why I asked. It's nothing big, though. Just intro posts.

That link is WAY helpful! I put it in my favorites list, so I can access it anytime! Thanks!

EDIT: I am the last one to post, so I guess I will just put this as an edit. Well, I wrote my intro posts, and they are indeed very long... (Especially Emery's...) I am at page 7 in word, with 3,288 words (and I don't feel that Rhys' is really done, but I may just leave it where it is...) I couldn't finish Rhys' since I was going to wait to see what you put in your post... (for a guideline as to how the past-to-present thing goes) But Emery's will probably remain unchanged. I think his is so long because I spent a page and a half describing the church grounds and stuff... Oh, and I named the Life God Ran'Diel, for anyone's reference... (Unless I have to change it, that is...) I'll make any further changes after I see posts that go up before mine. ^^
guardian84
sel, what other characters are available or what characters do you need? ^^

I am always up to be the bad guy. Hur hur hur.
Seluna
*eyes light up* Gene-chan! There's always characters available, especially for you. tongue.gif If you want to play a villain, up to you too.

To everyone, I promised the IC post before I leave but life had other plans for me, so I don't think I can make it. So I'm doing something I'm not sure anyone had done before:

If by 26 September, the IC post is not up, anyone whose character has already been accepted can go ahead and make the IC topic. Then everyone can continue from there, without me first.

In the worst case possible, I'll ask for edits when I come back but I doubt I'll have to do that. ^^;
Sydra
Have a safe trip Seluna, you aren't going to have the time to adjust to time over there so make sure to get plenty of rest when you get back.
Ember
Well, like I said before, I have a big long, whopping intro post ready to go (and I will make modifications if necessary...) So if anyone posts the IC, I am ready. And it's long because I have two characters, that's what I would like to think, anyway. But I am unsure of Rhys's since I only know Syiana from the profile, I mentioned her a few times because Ruby (Rhys's sister) knows her from the council. Should I PM what I have to you, Seluna?

Also, I have the issue of Rhys to the present time. I believe you said that they will go to sleep then be in the present, yes? Should I add this into the intro post so that he is already in the present for the next post afterward? Or should I save that part for the next post? (Cause I haven't written that in yet) Oh, and where will he be, or is that my call? Does he meet one of the other RPers characters, or my other character first--if any of that, he might be alone...

Anyway, appreciate any answers! I know I have a lot of questions... I know a lot of it is more like "it will be answered as we move along" but it's not exactly a freeform either, so I feel the need to ask before I do...
Dart
I can try and post the IC if Seluna hasn't done so already by tomorrow. My post will pretty much be a location establishment for a town I was thinking to base some of the actions of my character around.

So unless Seluna has some ambitions for the first IC post, or there is some grand idea about establishing the war with the Demon lord, I'll just write it up tomorrow.
Fanelia
I AM NOT GONE.

I had a really bad tragedy occur on top of a lot of projects from school but I have reached semi-stability and can post now. Sorry for the lack of warning, but it required immediate action.

I will post as soon as an IC is up.
Sydra
I have a bunch of deadlines for wednesdays, so my ic post will not be up until probably Friday. Sorry!
Seluna
Timmers! Oh my gosh I love your starting post! *glomps* I didn't get the chance to tell you on msn and I'm afraid I'll forget, so I decided to do it here. It is absolutely lovely! And the other posts too! Although I gotta admit I was a bit stunned by the length of each post o.o but they are truly great. ^^

Now that I'm back, I will start baiting my inspiration to bite and make my own post. While I do, everybody, don't be shy and advance the plot. ^^

If you feel better doing that, alright then. ^^ But I like being surprised. XD

It's entirely your call, to have it in the intro or not and where Rhys will end up. Also, I would prefer if he ends up meeting somebody, since it's better for plot movement if there's interaction of some kind. ^^ But again, up to you. XD
Ember
Okay, well I already put in my intro post, but I will watch the other posts to see what to do with Rhys, because I agree with you that interaction is best. It's an RP, after all. ^^;
Dart
Ha, thanks Sel. I appreciate it smile.gif .

I'm working on my next post right now, so it should be up soon. I decided I would introduce some sort of evil nemesis character for my own character to battle, but everyone is more than welcome to use and add to my idea for their own ideas. For now, let's just say she's the evil ex-girlfriend demon.

I just wanted to point out that Soldier's Crossing is a game from the present time. (Per Sel's approval of course.) I thought it would be a nice touch to have a bit of the present in the future.

I plan on having Samuel encountering the game a few times during the RPG so it will be showing up again (unless Seluna says no). I have not fleshed it out completely (nor do I plan to), but it is basically a cross between a strategy board game (think War Hammer) and a trading card game (insert favorite card game here). Some of what I mentioned in my post will not be in the game, most notably riflemen.

So if you want to use it in some capacity, feel free to run with it.

I have some other posting to do tonight, but I will try to get a post up in this RPG sometime around Friday.

Am I the only one that wants everyone to hurry up and get to the same time period so I can stop feeling wierd about using the words "past","present" and "future" in what seem like the wrong contexts?

This is cool...

im still confused tho... where do you play this?

Do u just talk in here>?<

Why would I say no? o.o It's an interesting thing to have, and I must be crazy to not want it. And yes, I think we should get to the present time as soon as possible.

DarkAce7, read this first and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask. ^^

Ha, thanks Sel. I appreciate it smile.gif .

I'm working on my next post right now, so it should be up soon. I decided I would introduce some sort of evil nemesis character for my own character to battle, but everyone is more than welcome to use and add to my idea for their own ideas. For now, let's just say she's the evil ex-girlfriend demon.

Poo! I had an idea very similar to that... (I alluded to it in Rhys's post) But perhaps they won't be TOO similar? After all, one's man, one's woman...

I also agree with those who talked about hurrying up and having everyone in the same time... It can be confusing... Also I started Emery's post, but I was kind of waiting to see what Seluna has for her post before I did anything more with Rhys (since they are from the same time...)

I did say my post would be long.... *laughs* I never know when to quit.
Shadows of essence
Just in case my post was not clear, Samuel and his "volunteer" are in the wild near the border of the elven kingdom making thier way to to some town nearby. I have no clue what town just yet. Seluna if you have any thoughts on the locations of notable cities please let me know, otherwise I'll just make up a small border town. Yet once again, I can't help but start away from everyone else smile.gif .

Just so I was clear on everything, I made a list of all the charecters who have been posted, where and when they are. Please let me know if I have misunderstood anything.


Emery Ti’Aurthan Present
Rhys Ti’Aurthan Present
Fernand Ti’Aurthan Present
Syiana lost in time Past on way to present
Samuel near Elven border Present
Nanaira some town Present
Kalrion some town Present


I belive that is everyone that has posted thus far. Where is everyone else?
Seluna
I believe Emery is in Ti'Lethan, not Ti'Aurthan. Somebody will have to 'land' Syiana in a town for me, or when I find a good opening, I'll do so myself.
Fanelia
While we're still early on, I am going to toss in a second character. She will be Saint Luck's constant companion.

Name: Elvina "Saint Exile" Ilenaf (Il-en-off)
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Eyes: Amber
Hair: Dark Brown
Race: Human
Class: Warrior
Distinguishable Marks: A cross (identical to Saint Luck's) on the back of her neck, but more intircate; the mark of an officer.
General Appearance: Elvina has a very slim and tall figure.
Weapon of choice: Elvina has a small metallic device attached to fingerless leather gloves that, with the proper amount of pressure applied, produce three long blades. She is highly capable of magic, but a lack of training has made her unable to control it, nor call it at will.
Clothing: Tight grey leather outfit and lightweight boots, loose brown belt to carry medicinal herbs, food, etc. Usually wears a black cloak over her outfit.
Personality: Sometimes a bit foolhardy and careless, Saint Exile is likely to run head-first into the fray. She is loyal but belligerent, and more than once has her sharp tongue gotten her into trouble. She appears to have a strong dislike for humanity but truly cares about its liberty.
Biography: Elvina was heiress to the high seat of a cult of mages known as the Circle of Thorns. Both her parents possessed amazing magical ability, and Elvina was born with heightened senses. She also gained a vast amount of psychic ability, and only through harsh personal training has she kept it under control so she would not be driven to insanity.

She gained the name "Exile" when she was 17. Her mother disappeared, and investigation showed Elvina that her father had sacrificed her to the Demon Lord. The cult had begun to show signs of demonic rituals, and this was all the proof Elvina needed to have thirty cultists executed. Her father staged a coup, and Elvina barely made it away from the grasp of the Circle of Thorns alive.

She fled to a cave in a desolated area of the country, and there she found the Saints. She learned their cause and swore her abilities to them, wanting a part in the fight against the demons that had corrupted her people. The only news she had ever recieved from her father was that he was disguised as a priest in one of the few remaining human strongholds.
Sydra
My next post will not be until after wednesday. I have midterms this week and my cat is pretty sick. I had to take her to the emergency animal hospital today.
Seluna
Fanelia, your second char's approved. ^^ She's a great addition to the RP.

I hope your cat gets better, Sydra.

PS. It seems that Rhys is also in Ti'Lethan.
Ember
Well, I didn't know where else to put him.... *feels a little stupid* I could always change it, but I didn't know there were multiple human towns, I mean, not largish ones anyway, I thought they were all tiny enslaved villages and whatnot.
Shadows of essence
Do not worry about it Ember, if anything it's my fault for not reading correctly.

Well, since no one has dropped Seluna's charecter in the present, I will. Unless Seluna has an issue with it. I will try to make a post this weekend, I'd rather not (give others a chance to post), but I have a feeling Sel would like to get in the action. Actually Seluna, if you want PM me and we can brianstorm how our charecters run into eachother (got a few ideas), and you can write the post and anything else you want.

I need a charecter near Samuel. I have plans for an NPC to join up with Samuel (has to do with some of my future plot points), but I'm afirad if I do Samuel will end up interacting with the NPC more than anyone else. Having Seluna's charecter nearby will help negate that.

I really wish a player charecter could take the NPC's spot but only one or two of the charecters in the game could fit the role with any strech of the imagination. Plus, the player would have to be willing. I think I'm going to review the profiles and maybe send out a PM or two.

Sydra
I haven't labeled where my character is, I can have her go anywhere, if somebody wants to interact with my character. XD

Actually, I had some intentions of placing Seluna's character near mine, and I probably would have posted and done it already but I've been a little busy lately, so you're more than welcome to write Seluna's character in if you wish.

As for anyone who wants to be in Ti’Aurthan, I have some ideas for that little town. Making things go boom.
Shadows of essence
Honestly, I would rather Seluna decide, as it will affect her the most. One of the reasons I have not written a word of my post yet was I was waiting to see if Sel was going to have any objections. But, to my surprise, she has not weighed in on the situation yet.

I will not be able to post till tonight or tomorrow anyways, so if Seluna does not weigh in we will just leave it to whoever posts first.

I’m being a bit wishy-washy (I posted about it, its mine! What someone else wanted it? Oh, well let’s see.), but I know how it is to get your plot messed up by someone else’s post and I can always come up with alternatives to my current ideas (benefit of not having written anything down yet).

Shadows
Seluna
Shadows, I hope you received my PM. I don't really mind where my character is dropped because then I will be able to respond in a more or less spontaenous way. That makes things challenging for me. ^^
Cresi
It would be nice if there were some other characters besides my own to interact with Vidula and Liam than having them only interact with each other. And it seems like people only pair their characters off with people they like than exploring the possiblities of some one out side their normal friend range.
Ember
Well, maybe you and I could work something out? I don't have any friends here anyway, so it'd be nice to interact with someone... I've been pretty much occupying myself, and that's not RPing, that's just writing a story. ^^;;
Shadows of essence
Actually do not think about it as people teaming up with friends. If you look (at least from what I remember) everyone is off by themselves at the moment. It usually takes a while for everyone to meet up. The only reason there is a bit of discussion about Seluna is she purposely asked someone to place her character (thus ensuring she had someone to interact with).


As for not teaming up with anyone that is not a close fried, Seluna was just one of the few people free. Everyone else other that Sydra has there charecters somewhere else other than where Samuel is. By the way Sydra, the town I am heading towards can easily be the town your charecters are in, up to you.


I think we need to discuss possible reasons for everyone to general migrate to one place. Not that everyone has to be in the same place, but a large group of us should be. I'd image all the roles would begin migrating to one spot just to figure out what is going on. Everyone else would be tagging along or looking for the roles. Just my thoughts, any comments Seluna?

Well I'm off to work on my post.

Shadows
Seluna
Hmm... yeah, that was much the initial idea. The clues for what exactly the Roles are supposed to do will be dropped sooner or later, once all the Roles are confirmed to be in present. ^^ Any ideas for those clues, anyone? I myself don't have any significant idea regarding that too.

That would be great :3 I'd love to have one of my characters interact with yours any time during the roleplay.

*feels like a picker of internet battles <:>
Sydra
Alright that works Shadows. I'll get a post up sometime tomorrow I believe... Well today actually. o.o
Shadows of essence
Been a busy week.

Looks like it is up to me to make a short post that will bring Samuel, Syiana, and Nanaria together.

First, I need to make a post in Undead Cowboys (I fear the rpg is on it's last leg) and then I will get a short post up here. So expect a post either late tommorow or Sunday.

Sydra, I'm just going to catch me and Seluna up to your post's timeline (maybe a little beyond) then I'll leave it up to one of you two to pick up form there.

Seluna, feel free to delete this if you consider it spam. I just wanted everyone to know a post was coming. The rpg seems to have hit a small lull this week (guess I was not the only busy one).

Shadows
Ember
My post probably won't be up till tomorrow or the day after... I have some of it written, but its been insane here. ^^;; Sorry, I know I'll have it up eventually.
Seluna
Sydra, I think I'll prefer that you respond to Shadow's post. ^^;

Just a note, everyone, I did not set a minimum character limit. Not saying that long well-written posts are bad, quite the contrary in fact, but if necessary, short posts serve their purpose and won't hold up others. Okay, hm?
Sydra
My response is probably going to have to come up after wednesday, I have a test that day as well as some deadlines. So it will have to come after.
Seluna
Oh well, I'll wait then. ^^ School work and stuff are more important, in comparison.

Ember, take your time. I'm wondering when are the posts of other roleplayers going to come in though.
Cresi
I am busy with School work. alot of Art AP things todo as well for studying for japanese.
Fanelia
Finally posted. Ugh I'm slow.

And rusty to boot. I forgot to turn off my sig. ^_^;;
Seluna
What matters is that you posted, Fan. ^^ Can't imagine how glad I am to see your post. Just wish that more posts will be coming in. And I have emphasized before that posts need not be very long to be of good quality.
Dart
My post will be coming up shortly. I'm just trying to think of a way to best explore Fernand's (soon to be apparent) craziness.
