Wow I go to sleep and wake up to all thisUs RPers move fast, huh

Indeed.

@Everyone: More official, less psychotic response coming up.

While I'm slowly click-clacking away at this character sheet, here's a question.

Am I allowed to use a custom race? There's one I've been toying with for a while, and I'd like to try and put it in. Otherwise, I'll just go with human.

EDIT: Assuming I ever get to join, that is, just wondering.

The golden rule for race is that It is allowed, as long has a good reason to venture close to humanity. We have Centaurs and minotaurs and drow and vampires and dwarves and a bug-thing and all sorts. As long as you aren't a 10 armed Triclops of babylon or something, and as long as there is a reason you to want to help the Queen's Blades and stop Demons from destroying the world, you are probably fine.

Vent your spleen

This sounds inherently painful.

Okay. Here goes. Official response.

First of all, I would like to take the time to apologize to everyone who read my rant. I was driven into a bit of a psychotic episode after a whole ordeal of IRL stresses piling atop these ones. The rant has thus-forth been obliterated unto time and I encourage everyone else who typed in this ordeal to go back and obliterate their own contributions so as to prevent a relapse.

That being said, I am still highly disappointed. Mainly with myself for succumbing to an emotional outburst at the worst possible time... However, this being said, it could have been handled better by all parties involved. First of all, it should have stayed in the OOC, so I could attack it when I was ready for it, and to not stress me out further than I already was. Second of all, those that were angered should have walked away to calm down before expressing dismay at the PM, which indeed, was a terrible written piece of tripe along the linguistic masterpieces of Nigerian Princes. Third of all, after stating dismay, arguments should not have flared up here.

Anyway, one thing that needs to get out of the way.

Zed. You're out. As in, blacklisted from this RP, and any future RP's I make. I've tried time and time again to tell you not to egg on problems and yet you do. This would not have been halfway as bad as it was if it wasn't for you, and pretty much everyone universally agrees you made a bad situation significantly worse. Atop this, this isn't the first time you've done this, and when I tried to talk with you about it, you reveled in what you did. I pride my RP's on being places where people can escape trolls, dehumanizers, discrimination, and so on. You have no place here as you repeatedly violate these things without a single regard. Get out, goodbye, and try not to let the door hit your ass on the way out.

As for others that need to be talked to, I'll address you in private, as that seems better than public call-outs that would only service to further divide those of us who want to role play. Because remember, at the end of the day, Sole, or whoever else sends you inflammatory content, is not part of this RP. There's no point or purpose to raging about it, especially at each other, or at me, over things someone who is not even part of the RP, has said or done.

Now I'd suggest a group hug and apologies go around, sooth any wounds. I know a couple relationships with me were damaged badly, I'm sure it happened to others here, and there's no reason the rest of you need to suffer with that. So brohugs. You can't stop the demon invasion if you hate each other more than the demons hate you, and some of them run on hatred.



(Protip: Gat loves tigers. If you want to warm up to him, drown him in tigers.)

Alright, so, to repeat a couple of other things.

If you don't have time to post in the IC: Let me know what you would like your characters to do in the OOC, and I'll describe it for you in the IC.

What about that IC post?: Now that my Internet is back, lets scale it back to Monday, give everyone the entire weekend to post in it. Does this sound fair?

What if I want to complain and derail the OOC more?: Take it to Steam or PM's.

But Brov-- Get outta here.

But brov- *gets stampeded by a rainbow ferret* nvm :p

Okay so I just woke up and was immediately blasted with this drama. Drama I technically started so I'm going to just go ahead and apologize.

Yesterday, in a spam thread, Brovo made a joke to me about pestering people who haven't yet posted in to post. I made a joke in the skype group about it, and long story short, I PM'd him the hider info from the accepted characters hider from the OP.

I've come to learn that I seriously shouldn't have done that

Now I'm still not entirely clear on what happened, but I do know that Sole actually did something with that, and the drama kinda cascaded from there. Before I went to bed last night I did see that he did something, but given the response of those who I knew he did it to (some of them not even warranting of him doing shit) didn't respond too bad so while I was shocked things did happen, I didn't really know the scope. I still don't. Like I haven't read shit on why Zed is the one who is in the most trouble yet, really.

But that's all besides the point. I gave what turned out to be a loaded gun to someone in poor judgement and it fucked things up. Which feels specifically ironic because that was a plotpoint in something I've written recently. Huh.

Either way, I'm really sorry about that. I will now... probably avoid reading everything that happened because I don't want this to be the way I start off my morning. I'm sorry for those who did start off or end their days on whatever the drama was.

Apology update. Apparently I wasn't when, joking with Sole, clear that it wasn't meant to be serious. Both Sole and a couple others indicated that they thought I was serious. So, uh, tacking this on. I'm also sorry I didn't explicitly state I was joking around when talking with Sole about this stuff prior to him doing stuff. >_<

Fuck, this makes it even more my fault.

Although I now get more of why bad things happened.

i'm offering free hugs

which i never do so take it or leave it

Butt Brovo, butts.

I didn't realize that Elly was joking when I asked her if I could PM you guys, and for my obliviousness I apologize. Also, I apologize for offending and pissing off everyone. None of you, except a handful of you, know how I joke around. Normally when I use capslock, I'm being lighthearted and not pissy at all. I figured that if I told you "unless you have important IRL commitments, then that's okay" that you'd quickly get that I was being lighthearted about everything. You guys didn't know that because you do not know me, so I apologize for not taking this into consideration.

I will call Zed out on the spot for a proper apology though. His response was entirely bullshit, and even I didn't agree with it because I saw how some of you reacted (one of you having a toddler). Seriously though, I'm really sorry about the dumb shit I pulled. I'm an adult and subsequently should have known better. And I'm kind of hoping to be able to join this RP at some point too, but my chances of that happening are low as hell now because of my childish behavior. I hope you guys enjoy your 4th of July weekend.

Sole said
thing

Idk man, coming here and posting that was pretty big of you, yanno.

fight me to the death for the open spot that actually isn't open because they're still overfilled

Okay Apology Round 2

In light of things, my prior apology doesn't adequately apologize for things as they happened and what was actually my fault. So I'm sorry that the prior apology isn't as good as intended.

HOWEVER now for the correction!

I'm sorry that while I was talking with Sole after Brovo made the joke in the spam thread that I was not clear with my humorous intent when we discussed the whole bothering people to post thing. Because of my miscommunication, Sole didn't understand the intentions, and things went in a very different and not as good way. This is my fault and I should have been more clear and understandable. This isn't as large of an apology but I've like apologized in three different ways now? 2 in here. So like, cut me slack.

Well, good that's all cleared up. I hope everyone can have peace with the situation as is, and props to those acknowledging what happened. Now, let's get this show back on the road.

Hi, guys.
I'd like to apologize for acting like a deplorable human being (read: Turt), and for offending anyone with my comments. I'm an asshole, but even assholes know when to draw the line. Unfortunately for me, every now and then, I don't stop at the line, and cross over into the territories of cruel and callous actions. Which is what I did today, when I mocked, derided, and overall insulted my fellow RPers, without a single twang of remorse or conscience. That kind of shit is incredibly un-Fonz cool, and frankly, quite fucked up.

I'm not trying to excuse my actions, or make the notion that I had justification, because I didn't. I was cruel, callous, and unapologetic. I said those things because I felt like saying them, and enjoyed saying them. I didn't care about the feelings of others and certainly didn't try to pretend that I did. And for that, I'm sorry, because I blew things incredibly out of proportion, stirring shit up and causing tensions to flare. So, yeah. I'm sorry for acting like a Turt-tier douchebag, when I had absolutely no reason to act that way.

Jesus, what did I miss.

I did a thing really fast, some of the logic might not all be there

Biography

Name
(Collimere Sentison) Colm Brandt

Age
27 - Late teen

Race
Invic


Sex
Male

Appearance
Here he is
Here he is, less normal

Homeland
The thick forests west of Renalta. Hidden within in the Invican tribe. The tribe moves every hundred years, but one place has remained sacred and immobile: the Marble Hall. Inscribed there are the names of every Invic who has outshone all his peers. All Invican children are trained and instructed at the Hall.

History
Invican traditions are always a harsh pedestal to be placed on. Colm never understood why his father (Sentinus) placed such heavy emphasis on study, practice, and training. As far as Colm remembers, he was trapped in a forest with a bunch of serious folk for almost three decades. He eagerly awaited his chance to go out and see the world, in all its fiendish misery.

He always had a certain penchant for magic. Even if he wasn't particularly powerful, he could conjure sparks or smoke. He liked manipulating the world. His father never really appreciated his abilities, since most of the time Invics drained magic instead of producing it. This disconnect with everyone else led to Colm requesting to leave the Marble Hall.

To his surprise, they agreed. Colm was given a suit of armor and a sword and sent on his merry way. Of course, Colm had never liked fighting. In his sparring sessions he would always find ways to dodge the actual swordplay. Once he stole his master's sword and buried it. Another time he managed to convince his master that the Hall had caught fire.

Fighting was the last thing on his mind, and, perhaps ironically, he began to fight that way. Smarter, not harder.

He wasn't particularly powerful with his magic, but his mind was sharper than any sword he could have been given. He put that to good use, using elaborate schemes and his wits to terrify his opponents into submission. He couldn't really breathe fire, but a combination of tubes, flammable gas, and his own magic let him seem like he could. Mind reading, illusions, pyromancy, mentalism: Colm used the magic he had to show the world the magic he hadn't.

All along the way, however, he tried to do good. That was what was would make his people proud, make his father proud.

Motivation
To make his people proud, and maybe get his name inscribed in the Marble Hall. And have some fun along the way.

Traits and Equipment
General
--Raw Talent
--Fortitude
--Stealthy

Unique
-As an Invic, Colm was born with the same ability of all his people: the drain. In simple terms, while there's magic in the area, a small portion of that magic is siphoned off for him. Sometimes it is dispersed into nature, sometimes his body uses it to heal minor cuts and scratches, and sometimes it soothes his body, increasing the stamina and strength of his slow twitch muscles (basically he can carry more weight and lift heavier things). More and more frequently, however, Colm has been using this magic flow as a reservoir for his own magic.

-Each Invic manifests a different trait as they approach adulthood at age 30. In Colm's case, his physical senses magnify significantly when a magical source is nearby. Sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing, and balance.

Basically, unless there's magic around, Colm is as normal as the average human.

Brovo said (Protip: Gat loves tigers. If you want to warm up to him, drown him in tigers.)

*Is like putty in your hands....*

...How do you drown someone in Tigers?

Do...does it involve a blender? Don't do it! Smother him with tigers, instead!

Smothering would probably be easier yes.
Also I followed your lead with gif edits Panda :p

It is better that we just laugh at...The Unmentionable event. because we all realise that the reactions of it were a bigger and much funnier joke that the actual event itself.

Plus, who doesn't love a chance to flood the Ooc with a page full of random gifs?I see it as a chance to see everyone's preferences. I like Pandas and Comedy, you like tigers and please don't eat my Pandas T-T
