You could try that, although your character would need to have an extremely good reason to know a secret exit and a reason to help people escape.

I've got a few
1) Money
2) not all of my stock is "legle"

I think I'ma take a break guys. My lack of posting would assume I've taken a long enough break already, but I haven't had any real motivation to post...maybe I'm just lazy but bare with me. Anyway if anyone wanna take control of any of my characters do so by all means. I can't really say why I'm taking a break...too much to type. I'll be back eventually.

Aw, man, that sucks. Everyone seems to be in a slump right now (honestly, myself included), and things have really slowed down. Hopefully, it's just a phase.

Well, everybody needs a break now and then. Just be sure to come back, Spirit!
Darkblade
I'm slumped too.
I feel like killing Drake to be honest biggrin.gif

Sparrowsmith
bumping for bumping sake and then I realise.

We have no working antagonists in play right now ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif

And I left that little thing about the faceless one a long time ago now...

Maybe I should make us an antagonist. ph34r.gif permission?
Darkblade
Maybe we should timeskip out of there first or something biggrin.gif

Go ahead.

Sparrowsmith
Not quite the faceless one

Full Name: Ezekiel Dawn
Nickname: Zeke
Race: Human
Age: 17
Appearance: Untidy and un-matching black hair. His skin is pale and slightly disfigured from him being born a natural magic user. His eyes are pale blue and blood shot, though his pupils sometimes turn yellow. He's slightly under average height for his age and rather scrawny.
he has tribal style tattoos around his eyes and along his arms. He usually walks around in a short cut red robe
Job: Silencer
Weapon: relies only on his magic, useless close range.
Background: After being kicked out of his hometown for his disturbing aura and natural magic, he came upon the Magus clan. He and another possible student there became fascinated with a rumored mage known as the faceless one. During their initiation they are asked to kill other members, but after witnessing him do it, his friend fled.
Zeke moved slowly up the ranks, all the while learning more and more of his idol. For a time he even believed Xavier may be the faceless one.
Around the age of sixteen, while on a mission, Zeke came across a strange mage who led him back to a temple. The temple claimed to have contact with the faceless one, and Zeke joined their ranks.

His most recent assignment is to silence a group of travelers who killed a pair of ruined ones.
Personality: He is short tempered and cold, though often cowardly. His magic is not to be taken lightly, he was born with a knack for necromancy and manipulation. He was once assigned to teach the recruits a lesson, so he killed their two youngest and forced the bodies to fight the others.
He has an unhealthy obsession with blood,power and anonymity.
Character Relation: Damien, for a brief while they researched powerful mages together at the Magus tower before Damien fled.

Should I go right in and crash the party?
Darkblade
Give it time.

Save this for a moment.

The problem is, there are a few things that still need to get wrapped up before we can move on.

-Jimba and Allistor need to finish their fight one way or another, which means someone needs to take a dive, or (and this isn't very likely now that Al's got his memory back and confessed) they need to put aside their differences.

-Xavier needs to be neutralized somehow (not necessarily killed, we shouldn't do that without Spirit's permission, but we can at least foil his plans for the time being), lest demonic hell be rained down upon the city on top of all our other problems.

-Oliver needs to finish up the longest bath in history (He's gonna be shriveled up like a prune biggrin.gif) .

I should get to that.
TaFresh
Same here.

And with the whole Xavier issue, what if we make a barrier around the tower that cannot be broken through pact magic (which is what Xavier uses since he has a pact)? Make it part of some old Warlock spell or something, because I really hae a bad case of writer's block with the whole Xavier issue.
Milton Monday
I'm kind of struggling with it too, but I just had an idea.

It might be sort of a cop-out, but perhaps we've already beaten Xavier. Remember that crystal Aggie smashed in Xavier's lab? The one with all that magic going around inside of it? Maybe he was drawing power from that. With his source of energy gone, he can't complete the spell without killing himself, and it will take years to gather up that much energy again. Granted, he'd have realized something has gone wrong by now (and probably have done something extremely nasty to that old mage Aggie body-jacked for his incompetence) and will be looking for Aggie to exact revenge. We have a confrontation, and Aggie and Kaydius (and Nobu and A'Sia if they make it to the party) will probably be forced to run like Hell upon realizing they're outmatched, straight into the waiting arms of the Silishallans who try to arrest Aggie (The poor girl can't catch a break, can she?)
After they escape, Xavier realizes the people of Morento have turned against him and his operation in Morento is effectively ruined, and he packs up his branch of the Magus clan and goes into hiding; after all, people are fickle, and what's another decade or two to a man who has transcended death? To him, this is just a setback, albeit an enormous one.
This also lets us keep Xavier around and gives him a good reason to want an eventual rematch, or at least send some Magus clan grunts to irritate us every now and then. La La, I assume, would still be alive and in Xavier's clutches, since for some reason he needs her to cast whatever spell he was trying to cast.

what if... Xavier drain's a small portion of all of his mages ' magic and stores it in those crystals. That crystal was unfinished, but he has four or five others.
So he is still very powerful, but set back just enough (say a week or two) to not hunt us down.
Instead he seal the tower and drains all of the mages inside to a crisp, then (just before he tries to cast the spell) the barrier falls and we get to go in biggrin.gif

Now THAT is an rpg story biggrin.gif (in my cliched opinion)
TaFresh
Uh...where's everyone?
Nicsp
School's been kicking my ass, i also have gotten myself in a lock, i need Fairy to post so i can post with Oliver, i also need someone on Xavier's side to post so i can post as Akriloth soooooo...Yeah.
Sparrowsmith
... I is over here... in a coma....

Damien - dead? 0_O
Ezekiel - standby
Liza - stone
Leonard - dunno... killed by shilly shallys? I should do somet...
Daniel - like Damien/is Damien
Faceless one - unconfirmed to exist
Frankyln - dead... maybe not for long
Rose Damien put in Oliver's pocket - withered and died?
Hat - on Damien's head
Knives - In Damien's jacket
anti-magic ring - Damien's hand
Alexander - in the Nocturnal (muahahahahahaaaaa story ark in planning)
Maximillian. H - Doesn't even exist sleep.gif

Think that covers it
Milton Monday
As for me, I've got epic writer's block at the moment. I'll try to post something tomorrow and see if we can't get this thing moving again.
Spirit_Master_X
Wassup? wassup?

Listen I know this whole Morento thing may seem important right now, but I also know it is taking a huge drag on the story and the role-players. So why not just skip Morento altogether? and instead create a situation where the group is being chased by Magus grunts or whatever? Like the entire group is on one ship, boat, whatever that moves fast and the magus are chasing them in something that moves fast. Otherwise, I think the rp will slowly die if we don't make something drastic happen.
Darkblade
Yeah, lets just get them out of there.

How about, we just get them all on a new airship?
Spirit_Master_X
I'm down with that!
Sparrowsmith
Ok, but as a writer I refuse to let this happen sharply, this thing has got to be smooth as a bald man's head.

So basically, the magus clan begin closing in, and then xavier sows up, he's pissed off because we kinda slowed down his master plans, so he tries to kill us.
Meanwhile Leonard [he's back] is nearly taken by a shilly guard, but he sticks a cig in the guys eye and makes a run for it. He picks up a couple of the group (wrap up any loose threads) and eventually he finds a warehouse type thing, and inside is that most famous of princes who is trying to get his ship running so that he can blow this joint. Leonard helps out in return for him letting them on.

Xavier is all "I'm a kill you now!"
then the skylight breaks and a bunch of ropes fall down, we all grab the ropes and do a runner just in time for the shillys to chase us down, however, the magus clan also have ships and we make a little time because they begin fighting, but then they join up and start attacking us again.

and so on on from there...

Everybody who isn't in the tower or already captured, get to the inn or into the town where leonard can find you.

I don't know how to save Drake, DarkBlade sad.gif
Darkblade
Don't worry about Drake, I'll deal with Drake.
I'm still trying to decide whether or not to kill him.
It will be difficult to let him escape realistically.
I dunno, it might end up kind of cheesy.
Bare with it if it sounds bad.

We'll do the escape routine.
When they make onto the ship and into the sky, we'll finish the chapter there and start a new chapter.

So yeah,

post that message in the actual RP maybe? remind people tongue.gif

give them PMs and if they ignore them we'll repossess their homes characters forever temporarily.
Darkblade
Posted in the RP.

I'll do the PM's in a moment.
Nicsp
I planned on introducing yet another character, a female this time, she would have no battle skills whatsoever to make up for Akriloth and Oliver having. Of course, before i post a bios or decide for sure, i'd like other's opinions.
Darkblade
Yeah, do it, too many fighters.
I mean, they're going to have to fight squads of enemies before they leave, so, having people unable to fight to help with the ship would be cool.
Nicsp
Done...And...Done!

Sparrowsmith
I'd say your free to do whatever you want with him, just stick to this exactly laid out plan ph34r.gif

na, as far as I'm aware he's a little bit cocky and likes to design airships that don't work and kill people sweat.gif

I'm thinking of how to get Jimba into town, and if I should make a new barbarian character in Henri's place.

ANyone got any ideas?

IF your 'ultimate attack' makes a loud bang, Leo could pick you up

if not, just rush back into town

Prince Theodore's Profile

Sign-up sheet
Full Name: Theodore Valten Bascuan
Nickname: Theo, Twit, Bass
Race: Human
Age: 22
Appearance: Shaggy blonde hair hides an old scar on the left side of his face close to his ear, his brown eyes are dirtied by the bags under his eyes caused by sleepless nights. A tall and thin boy, he looks to not put up much of a physical fight, although he has a look of intelligence upon him.
His attire is rather scruffy for a prince, he wears a blue engineer suit with the right sleeverolled up just beneath the elbow, the other sleeve is untouched and said to hide several cuts and bruises. the suit is partially unzipped and reveals a white shirt underneath which is slightly dirtied from oil stains. His wrist is covered in bandages and his boots are heavy, the leather slightly damaged.
Job: Prince and Airship designer
Weapon: None
Background: The sone of King Baschuan and an airship enthusiast, Theodore left welstarm 4 years ago to work in Airship design.
He had an accident on an airship when he was a young child, the same accident which killed his mother, however, rather than causing him to completely detest airships, it gave him inspiration to improve them much more and to make them safer so no more accidents would be caused.
However, he was sent into a depression when one of his designs were proven flawed in a terrible accident that killed a crew and several passengers, to protect Theodore, The king took the blame and credit for the failed designs. Theodore was not completely free from punishment, he was beaten by his father and looked upon with disgust by those that knew the truth.
Theodore himself is actually not that great of an Airship engineer and his repuatation is rather poor, although he has much enthusiasm.
In truth, his position is only higher up due to his royal status which Theodore is partly aware of.
Personality: Often cheerful but speaks with a stutter, he is easy to talk to although matters involving his father are almost impossible to discuss with him, discussion involving his mother is easier to talk too but often puts him in a depressing mood. He is known however to say that he wants nothing to do with his father, the only reason he left Welstarm 4 years ago is because he was given permission to leave due to his age. He is known to be rather scared by military looking people and will be found hard to talk to because of this, often requesting a second person in the room not affliated with the person that wishes to speak with Theodore.
Life deal spirit name: Marie Garther
Character Relation: Marie Garther was a co-engineer that passed away from a deadly reaction to a testing substance that was imported for use in an airship.

Note:
Theodore is noted to have a number of royal bodyguards, if you wish to create a bodyguard to use as a character, you can create one.
Note however, that they might only have "screentime" while Theodore is a main character.


Did that a few months ago.
You don't have to keep him exactly like that though.

If you'd like a summary...

Akriloth, Aggie and Kaydius defeated Alexander, a strange ass creature that seems to have come out of some anime addict perverted mind, Damien was knocked out during the fight and is currenlty apparently being possesed by the ruined one from he wich tried to steal power from, Jimba and Allistor are still fighting, Le Gato shows to have no sense of direction at all, Oliver took the longest bath in history, Oliver got out of the bath and was glomped by Dixie, Oliver had just helped a girl named Grace to recover her flower cart. Drake got mobbed by Silishalan soldiers, who seem to be, alongside with Morento, working to kill the survivors from Welstarm, again. Leonard showed his awesome fighting skills by sticking a cigarrete in a guard's eye and is now gathering up survivors so they can make a go for it to an airplane and then rocket out of Morento. Drake went "fuck you guys, i'm going home" and is currently escaping the prison. Aggie and Kaydius are charging into the room where Xavier supposedly would be.

I think that's about it.
Spirit_Master_X
Coolio. Now where should I start? -ponders- confused.gif

Froggy`
Start with Xavier greeting Aggie and who ever was with her. That should get you started and if you can't think about what to do with Nobu and Asia leave them off for now and come back when you have some ideas.
Darkblade
Darn that protective barrier!

Things are really heating up in there.
I wonder how Xavier will end. A fight to the death or fleeing?
We'll have to wait and see.
Spirit_Master_X
It's a surprise biggrin.gif
Darkblade
So the new aircraft needs a name.
Any suggestions?

My suggestion is 'Beyond the Last Horizon'.
Named so after the Ayreon Song.
Sparrowsmith
too long tongue.gif

Just keep it as Horizon
Darkblade
Horizon sounds pretty good.
Should we just use that?
Its short and sweet.

I vote for horizon

Nah, Horizon sounds decent.
Milton Monday
I know! Let's call it the Hindenburg!

...No, wait... We have enough problems already...
TaFresh
Yeahh....So instead of having to rush the battle with Allistor and somehow make it on time, I'll have Jimba flee to Eurastus, then regroup with everyone. Or he'll fight his way out and reunite with them. So you guys dont have to worry about Jimba anymore.

Also, I'm creating another character for the next chapter, after everyone flees.
