So, I'll let everyone here vote on what should be the first country to visit diplomatically, or shall we declare war? go straight to the UN for protection and rights? What to do, what to do

and remember that Sharnid's character will likely be trying to stop us, let's hope he doesn't develop some sort of mind control magic and then get into a position of power

Given how Sweden as been a neutral country ever since the Napoleon Wars, I'd say they might be the first to seek a peaceful solution, and possibly be the safest bet should we attempt to make diplomatic advances.

You'll see my plan soon enough ;) might pm Draconilian with my ideas to get the go ahead and make sure its kosher.

I vote war. When somebody threatens you, war. When somebody has something you want, war. If somebody is afraid of you, war.

War seems inevitable and given my characters perspective on things, the Others should make the first strike before the humans and their supporters gain powerful magic. A hundred others could annihilate a regular army. The true challenge will come when they level the playing field. Best to gain as much support, resources, and influence as possible before then.

@Drac:: Do you plan to link the characters in the first post? It would make referencing much easier.

I'll start linking when I start seriously judging what is an isn't approved.

O,o! Wait... wut.

How many RPers are you looking to have here anyways, Draconilian?

~Edz~

This bunny is not quality.

Heres the CS!

Name: MSGT. Kelly Barnett
Age: 22
Sex: Male
Human Appearance:

Bio: Growing up, Kelly was always the smart kid, however he was incredibly shy, so he never had many friends. This lead to him retreating into himself mostly, watching the Military Channel and reading a lot. This lead to a romanticized view of the military as a result of the heroics present to the boy. This lead to a strong desire to join the military, which was only reinforced when two of his cousins enlisted over his lifetime. He became a cross country runner in Middle School, and quickly fell in love So when he got in high-school and found a true friend, who wanted to enlist with him, that only strengthened his desire to join the army. The pair enlisted under an Option 40 contract so they were immediately training to be Rangers when he was 18.

Kelly was promoted thanks to acts of leadership while on deployment and his eventual seniority, including leading his squad in multiple raids against insurgents in the Middle East. He's received a Purple Heart and a Silver Star for wounds and acts of bravery during in one such raid. A sniper had the team pinned down, and a wounded soldier was out in the open. Kelly, at the time just a sergeant, didn't even ask for volunteers among his squad, he darted out into the night, running and ducking to secure his fallen comrade. He got the soldier back, but took a 7.62 round to the thigh while securing the man. The raid was completed, and Kelly was given 2 months of medical leave.

Kelly rejoined his unit soon after, just to immediately try out for the US Green Berets. He made it in, and soon after the shifters nation emerged. Kelly's Green Beret team was immediately assigned to monitor it. For days, Kelly's team has hovered outside the barrier before the whole team was given the option to stay on mission or go home. Kelly was the only one who decided to stay, so he is the only member of his team still on monitor duty.

Personality: Kelly is a determined man, and always does his best to finish what he starts, no matter what. He has become a more outgoing man since joining the Army, but he is still timid until he knows you well. Kelly is a kind guy and tries his best to help his friends, though he also has a vengeful side and rarely lets a wrong go unpunished, especially when directed at one of his friends. He is noble, and loyal to a fault, and always keeps his word, which has lead to conflict with authority figures before, particularly his parents

Views on the conflict: He believes the whole conflict is stupid in the first place. He believes since all these beings are sentient, they should just get along and keep forging forward.

Magical Capability: Limited. Kelly has shown the ability to enhance his basic senses with magic but little else

I've gotta go so please look this over and PM me with critiques

Ah, a wise man indeed. Thank you for sating my curiosity. I found to more questions to ask you.

Can you see the bubble? And how do the others pass through it? (Do they even feel it?) Can normal people get in too? I guess what I'm asking is a detailed explanation of how it works exactly, besides the ritual upkeep.

It's visible, general colored energy stuff,

It's "coded" so that only individuals with certain traits may pass through it, otherwise it's (theoretically) impenetrable. The traits in question of course, being the ability to shapeshift, It can also be manipulated by shifters however they please, I won't cut details here, a malicious shifter could easily ruin everything inside the field, other shifter colonies may have different defenses.

Quality Begets Quantity =)

At least, I hope it does.

@Spartan I personally wouldn't recommend him being the :"only" one on monitor duty, that's extremely dangerous, especially since he would be alone in the middle of a rainforest, perhaps a joint effort between the american and argentinian (if I haven't mentioned the energy field is in argentina) militaries to keep anything suspicious from happening?

Edit ;also it couldn't have been months, this rp starts precisely 36 days after the shifters emerged. And the field has been up for not even a week now

I just kinda keep updating my CS with more backstory hahaha I've done it at least 4 times now. Boredom strikes.

Also Draco, your avatar made me remember to watch the newest NGNL episode earlier today so thanks for that!

Updated my cs. Aeric is now more magic oriented instead of being a shifter.

It's over though and I feel empty without it

And right when they said that the real game was about to begin... Damned animators knows how to keep viewers hooked.

Yeah, it sucks haha.

I'll try to get a CS up today. Been busy this week.

So I see three fine human CS (though I'd appreciate a bit more detail on our number one villain)

guys we're getting outnumbered here,

Outnumbered? We have Me, our Harpy, the Coyote(?), and then there's the Soldier, the VIllain, and the Lightning Dude. It's 3 on each side, isn't it?

Yeah, like I said I'm adding more all the time!

I haven't approved everything yet, I'm just making a current observation the way things are going (basically I like all the humans more so far...)

I'd like to officially request from here on out, I be referred to as "Lightning Dude" XD
