Illusion Vale (OOC)

[EHawkins]

Hey, Ehawkins, just what is your character? I mean, what is a "dryad?" And what is my spirte? I don't know what a "Neko" is. I can only guess that it is some form of a cat.

You can call me E if you like
Shorter to type, too

'Neko' is Japanese for cat. If I remember correctly, in folklore there's also a monstrous kind of cat spirit (bakeneko).

This also has Neko in pop culture, mainly Anime:

A Dryad is a nature spirit from Greek myth. Traditionally, they're bound to their trees and can't live without them, but I'm playing a fantasy version of that which is not bound to anything and usually has supernatural control over nature in general, the element of earth, wood, etc.

Thanks E. I'm not very familiar with anime or fanatsy. But I know a lot about Star Wars. In fact, the name Eeth Odok, I created for a Star Wars d20 character who was a Zabrak (same species as Darth Maul).

Also, I don't know if you noticed, but your sprite has found you. Have fun. Mine keeps poking me with a stick. Yours might flash its blue light at ya.

Like I said earlier, now we just wait for Wolfsister and continue.

Nice. I love Star Wars
It's an inherent part of my geekiness

yeah--I got found I'm working on my response at the moment. It's getting rather longish

Hopefully, I can get it up soon.

 

[blaster8]

Nice entry E. I wonder how Eeth will react when he makes his discoveries. Seeing as how he is currently sane, key word "currently", it will most likely not be panicky like Becca. I just wish Wolfsister would get online so we can continue. I wanna have some fun!

I love Star Wars. In fact, I am currently listening to all six soundtracks from the Star Wars movies.

I'm sure Eeth will be better off than Becca. She was mentally at a disadvantage when she came over

My husband and I watched most of the Star Wars movies recently--good times

 

[blaster8]

How many of the Star Wars movies do you own? And what sort of other Star Wars stuff do you have?

Oh, and this is my 100th post since I started posting on 3-22-07! Happy days!

All the movies, the soundtracks the original 3 movies... My husband probably has the other 3 soundtracks in MP3 format somewhere. He has various RPG suppliments for Star Wars, that I can't even begin to list. Stuff like that Oh, and the KOTR games--my husband had gotten those sometime ago, but I hadn't played through them yet.

Happy 100--you can put up an AV now

 

[blaster8]

Interesting collection. Do you have any of the books?

About the AV - how long do I have to wait before I can put it up? I was just trying to, but it's not giving me the option yet. I'll keep trying, but when you see an AV next to my name, then you know I succeeded.

Hi Guys and Gals

Polite:
Your character is great, I just have one thing to ask. Could you change the 'change into a human' part. As IV doesn't have humans in it, Danae would most probably die as soon as she transformed. Some suggestions would be humanoid form (try to think of a fantasy creature that looks close to human) or a seal like humanoid (something similar to a lycan or a neko)

Optimas:
Pretty much what I said to Renegade...

Dude, you're in!

There's no need to change that character. I'll PM you with a location and you can make your first post when you're ready.

Thanatos:
Your character is great. Its what I was looking for.
Don't worry too much if you've never Rp'd before, we all had to start somewhere and we're all nice folk around this thread. Just don't poke Blaster with a stick (that's my job )

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask and I'm sure we'll all chime in with an answer or two. Oh and you have to be nice to me cos I'm the DM Mwahahaha

PS: Don't listen to Angelus... he's slightly off the wall, if you catch my drift

I'll PM you with a location, if you didn't see it, there's a map posted somewhere in this thread of Illusion Vale and then you can make your starting post.

Blaster:
Basically... think of a human with cat features. That's Van. Nya? Oh yeah, don't forget the huge feckin stick.

Congrats on your 100th post. I remember I had to wait a day or so before the option for an AV would appear. Just log out and log in again a few times and it'll come up.

Star Wars sucks!!!

JUST KIDDING!!!

I LUUUUURRRRVE Star Wars

To Everyone in General.

Kudos! I love the thread, thanks for all your great posts!! I'm having a great time and can't wait to see where it all goes.

A slight suggestion: if you're able, print up the map. This world is huge and as such, easy to get lost in... not to mention, everybody is everywhere else!

 

[blaster8]

Wolfsister:
Yeah, it's your job to poke me with a stick. And Van better watch himself or he might find a nice welt on his head caused by his own stick that was taken from him.

I can't wait to continue.

Finally, I get an AV! Anyone who knows Star Wars should be able to ID it, but the true test is to know where it came from.

 

[Wolfsister]

Overgrown furball, Nya?

*pokes out tongue and brandishes stick*

That's overgrown cute furball to you, mista!

(Nice AV, I believe its from Jedi Knight II video game, I think)

Furball indeed! And naive to boot. He doesn't realize that Eeth hasn't got a clue of what's going, despite the fact that Eeth has dropped plenty of hints. He can't deny it now that Eeth has angrily spit out a string of questions (and curses).

The AV is indeed from the Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast video game. Good job!

 

[Wolfsister]

*claps*

I've always been good at what I do.

 

[blaster8]

Yes, and Van doesn't know how to form a complete sentence.

 

[Wolfsister]

Dude, he's a cat... you'd think his wires would've gotten fried somewhere along the line. I mean... he licks himself everywhere!

 

[blaster8]

That's what cats do. They lick themselves. I should know. I have two cats. But I'm not complaining about his speech impediment. It gives him character, a personality. Now, let's continue the story. I'm going to be online for a few more hours.

 

[Wolfsister]

I have two cats myself, so I know where we're both coming from.

Anways, I don't mind. Even though I'll be jumping in and out, I've got a few more hours here as well.

 

[Angelus]

I am slightly off the wall?? I don't know what to make of that.

There is only one thing that I CAN say though. I love how this thread is going!

 

[Optimas]

hey guys sorry late post been real busy at work, but soon, Dinnie will make his way in. see you all soon, probably tomorrow during British day time.

Wolfsister:

I tweaked his history a bit. Hopefully he fits in better.
Please let me know.

Asterion
Race: Minotaur
Gender: Male
Height: 6’10” (Not counting horns)
Weight: 325 lbs.
Alignment: Evil

Asterion towers above most with his sinewy and muscular frame. Beyond his soaring figure, the twin twisted and deformed horns seem to rise from his jet black hair like two cruel shadowed spirals. His dark, almost ashen-colored eyes seem to never blink as he roams the land.

Asterion once held a life on earth, even if it was a hellish one. Prior to the shift into the Vale, he was known as Todd Jones. Todd had been abandoned at an early age and left to fend for himself on the streets of Denver. To survive, he detached himself from reality, placing a mental barrier between his conscious mind and the demonic being he became in order to survive.

His first murder was at age 14. He killed another street dweller over a pair of wool socks. It was quick and relatively bloodless; an ideal first step in becoming the twisted fiend the media would brand him.

Before the police finally caught up to him 15 years later, he had killed more than 30 people. The police would eventually only tie him to five. Some he had killed to survive and others just for the temporary rush of adrenaline. Each killing put more distance between the kind soul that once existed and the fiend now controlling Todd Jones’ body.

Even prison could not stop the bloodletting. Two guards and eight other inmates fell to his hand before the state could step in and fulfill his death sentence. When the day came, the media flocked to witness the spectacle. Todd was lead into the small room where the lethal injection would be administered. The guards strapped Jones’ small frame to the gurney and began to sanitize the needles that would take the lethal chemicals into his veins. The families of his victims, a few legislators, and two prison guards watched through the reinforced Plexiglas window, hoping to feel some kind of closure as this beast was put to rest.

A collective gasp came sharply from the gallery. The guards wheeled, reaching for their stun guns almost instinctively, before stopping in mid-stride. The thick leather straps lay limp across the table. Jones had vanished.

The description is a seal like humanoid, like a dyrad is still looks like a girl, they are from Irish folklore. Many sailors married them by accident.

If it doesn't work, I can find something else.

 

[thanatos64]

I posted, and am just wondering if maybe I didn't get a bit windy.

 

[blaster8]

No, your post was fine. I've seen longer posts. Good job on it.

 

[ultimate_nerdslut]

Not too late right?

Name: Faigel (Fay) Blake

Gender: female

Race: Raven humanoid

Height: 5' 6"

Physical Description: Is a slender creature with black wings on her back. Her arms have black feathers that run from her pinky fingers up to her elbow, very sparse feathering there, mostly they are just for looks. Her feet are now that of a bird, black talons and black scales up until her knees where is changes to feathers and eventually her humanoid body. Her hair is black now and her eyes as well, but when the sun hits her feathers and hair just right anyone can see a rainbow of feathers.

Allignment: Neutral Good

History:

Fay was an artist, she worked for years with oil paints, acrylics, watercolors, and just about any other media that seemed ever pausible. She knew that she was in love with the most wonderful man in the world and she was going to marry him someday. She owned tons of stray dogs and other stray animals. She used her art to pay for her large studio and the land around it. But one day the woman was working in her studio when her boyfriend Robert told her that he was leaving her. Fay demanded to know if he was cheating on her and it was quickly explained that she was the one that he was cheating on his fiance with.

Of course Fay was completely disturbed to find out her part in the whole thing and after throwing a bucket of red paint at him as he ran out the door, he was covered in the stuff, she covered her newly finished piece of artwork in blue paint. She slipped on a large glob of paint and found herself getting pulled in. She screamed but two seconds later she was pulled into the floor.

 

[blaster8]

Incredible! We currently have nine suggested characters, with five of them already in the main thread! If we keep getting members at this rate, Wolfsister, you'll run out of sprites! Let's keep this party going!
