Pleasure Kingdoms OOC/Casting Call

[NyghtRayne]

*laughs* Yeah just when you get thrown out don't land on me, I'm stuck enough where I am.

 

[SwampThing]

Hey, that's a great idea! I love causing trouble.

 

[The GrandMage]

Whoo. Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun.

I wonder when this little group with be called to order by our affectionate leader.


....I feel like my writing in this is going downhill. Perhaps I'm not in the right frame of mind. I mean, would he interfere? Probably not. I'm gonna go edit.

 

[The GrandMage]

Ow. Now I'm getting too whiny with this character. Eck.

Maybe I should focus more on the comedy...
I dunno.
Maybe this character isn't working. What do you guys think?

 

[NyghtRayne]

So far all the characters are making for a very interesting group...If we could only keep them together..

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Jeez, GM! Don't get yourself down! I LOVE your character. Stick with him and I'm sure you'll flesh him out to your liking.



EDIT: Okay, I just read your post, and you're not whiny at all. I plan to actually touch quite a bit on the idea as to what actually makes monsters and the human races different, beginning with our first dungeon crawl... ^_^

So stick with it! Shizura will be asking the same questions as your character pretty soon!

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Alright! I'm gonna try to get everyone organized here.

So everyone try and make their way into the inn, and then Shizura will explain things and map out their course of action. Everyone will find their respective reasons for coming along with her, she'll explain about the wizard's college (which will be in the east, just for convenience's sake ) and explain her goal (and Logan's goal, since he can't talk).

Hopefully, after that, we can scrape together the cash for a few extra room at the inn and then get this party started!

In the morning, she'll try to summon up anyone else who happens to want to join a party of adventurers, and this will be amon_darknight's signal (we've been conversing over PM).

As soon as we're ready, we'll head out into the forest in the general direction that the merchants end up pointing out, and start working on our teamwork against some encounters... ^_^

 

[The GrandMage]

Hey, JC, is it okay if my character knows someone at the Wizard's College?

Nothing big, just one of those little professor's that teaches an oddball class few ever bother with, yet is kept because it's an 'important part of magic no one really needs to know.'

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Sure, the Wizard's College is pretty famous in the known world (which isn't that much of it, really).

But you should probably be able to explain why you know him/her and he/she didn't kill you. ^_^

Not everybody goes around killing monsters.

Some people actually treat them like the diversified creatures they are.

Are there are some who study them. One would think so, especially at a Wizard's College. And a race as advanced and nonlethal as Zarl's could be a very interesting study.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Alright, sounds like a plan to me.

 

[The GrandMage]

Yep, so, I guess I'll just be where I am until you all move out?

Or should I find some reason to return to the Inn for the big Pow-wow?

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

You can stay where you are, if you like. It would probably make more sense.

"Hall of Graves"... very intriguing! I'm really pleased...

*huggles GM*

 

[NyghtRayne]

Return to the inn....we could use the wing power of a big strong monster, to remove a unicorn that is stuck in a tree... besides I haven't ever heard of a unicorn that can telport to get himself out of the tree.

*huggles GM*

*huggled. Glomps*

Yes, the Hall of Graves. What, you think the Macrai-Itoche don't honor their dead?

And what happens to those things, anyway? What are they used for?

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Ah, well, NyghtRayne is right. That would help.

 

[The GrandMage]

There's a dragon! What more do you want??

Legions of Terror??

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Ah, the crystals:

Remember, there are two sides to the spiritual force, Consciousness and the Void. Consciousness is the power of pure creation, and thus every kind of magic draws from it, because every kind of magic creates something, even the damaging magic. There is no magic wieldable by any known living being that can simply erase matter.

The Destroyer, or Lord of Darkness, or what have you, governs the Void and the monster races. The Elder Spirits, totems, or Legendary Creatures (they're all the same) serve him and the Consciousness.

Thus, most is made from Consciousness. Monsters are made from the Void.

Thus, they are constantly filled with desire. They need to fill themselves with the base feelings they lack because of the vaccum inside of them, so they rape and pillage constantly, even moreso than humans.

Yet, as our dear adventurers shall learn, there is darkness within every light, and light within every darkness. Humans, supposedly made from the most holy of material, are capable of atrocious acts, against both humans and monsters. And monsters have that spark of light within them that keeps them hoping -- their Crystal.

Crystals can be refined and distilled, and magic items are crafted from them. Only powerful wizards can refine Crystals, though, and often very little of a Crystal can be used, so there is not an overabundance of magical items. Religious ceremonies often use powdered Crystal, however, so there is always a demand.

Crystals do decompose after a while, returning the monster's soul to its home (the Void, presumably). The most powerful Crystals survive eternally, refusing to leave the physical plane of existance -- there are even some legends of sentient weapons, based off of a single immensely powerful Crystal.

Besides that, not much is understood, except that monsters are bad, and crystals are good, and are pretty.

Basically, I haven't made up anything else. ^_^

::smiling::

Just thought I'd stop by.... and ask <very sweetly> if anyone would want a Wee Flutterby to tag along with them on this thread. I do turn into a sexy Lil Pixie when it please me...

::waving:: Hi Jacobo!

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Hi Flutterby! Please join, if you're interested!

Read the first page or so of the OOC, think about it, and then post a character if you're interested... check out some of the other characters too...

 

[amon_darknight]

Shard Drake

Appearance:
Hair: Long White hair, goes to the middle of his back
Eyes: Gray, can glow Blue if he chooses to
Height: 5’7”
Weight” 160lbs
Age: 24


He wears a red and sliver jacket with a weird looking insignia in the back of it that means Soul. He wears a black shirt and black pants. He wears a silver chain that has a lion head emblem carved out on it. He wears a red belt, and has another strap on it that carries his sword. On his right hand he wears a crimson red glove that has no covers for his fingers and on his left hand he wears a silver one with no fingers covers. He also carried a shoulder bag that had his best friend Moopy in there, Moopy was a space ferret that Shard found when he was a child and they became best friends for life on that day. Shard never goes anywhere with out his best friend cause Moopy gives Shard advice in his life, a lot of people think he is crazy for talking to a “Space Ferret”, but Shard really doesn’t care. Moopy was gray and white with spots of black on it and he had a red nose, his eyes were two different colors, green and red. Shard loved his best friend Moopy, and they would travel the universe together.

Magic Abilities and Powers:
He is a Fire and Lighting beginner warrior/mage. He liked the idea of magic and learned from his mother lighting and from his father the fire spells. Well at the very beginning of his training, he was taken away from his family and never brought back. His fire spells consist of shooting a small tennis ball size fire ball out very rapidly at someone, and lighting campfires and other small things of fire out of his fingertips, his lighting spells are making small basketball size charged bolts shoot out of his hands, and just for looks he can make fire or lighting come from his eyes as intimidation. . He later escaped and never found his way back home and a Samurai looking figure found Shard and took him under his wing and took care of him and trained him to use the Katana that he gave to Shard. He has all his master moves in his tomb of swordsmanship, he told Shard that when he thought Shard was ready, he would summon Shard and train him in the arts and give him the book as a gift from Sensei to Kohai, so Shard would train hard and learn what he can and wait till his Sensei summoned him and teach him the ultimate attacks, now he would have to train in the ways he has learned and perfect his style.

 

[The GrandMage]

Well, that information on crystals fits perfectly into what I wanted to use them for.

Very helpful, thanks.

 

[Khadgar]

holy crap that made me angry. that was supposed to be like a three page post to.... i hate you sometimes lit.

 

[The GrandMage]

I know what you mean. For damn near an hour I couldn't even GET to this site. All the rest of the internet worked fine, but I just couldn't get to Lit.

Sometimes I think there are gnomes fucking with Lit, just to screw with our heads.

 

[NyghtRayne]

I know how it can be. I have it as my home page and usually have to refresh three times to get to it. It can be a pain every now and then.
