Sigh

Kurai may be waiting on a few new additions to arrive. We've got some folks on the way to help fill out the slots that have been left open.

Well its been five days and things don't seem to be going well sooo...

I mean hoestly wayward you could post a reply to me right now and keep things moving. It just feels like things are moving way to slow and we weren't given a reason why.

Problems with your statement there.

1. Everyone is busy doing other things, including Wayward. He's been the busiest out of all the members here. Please don't rush him. 'Sides, good post usually take a while to make. Quality over quantity.
2. If he replied to you, it would start turning into a 1x1 Roleplay, and besides, I'm in the same room as you both.

Thank you CorruptedShadow, for pointing that out.

Yes, Soren, I apologize for not keeping everyone updated. As CorruptedShadow said, I've been very busy, but not so busy that I couldn't just make a simple post explaining what's going on. For that, I apologize. I should really be more vigilant.

Yes, as Wayward said, there will likely be a group of new arrivals coming to fill in some of the open slots. However, I do plan on making a post TODAY. I promise to have something up, and again, I really apologize for the wait. I have to somehow find the balance between all of my irl business and this thread, because how I've been handling it so far really isn't fair to all of you.

Kurai thank you for the apology. I have run forum rps for way too long and when they fall behind five days I start to wonder.

Corrupted I understand that everyone is busy but a schedule update Is something every gm should post regardless of how busy one gets. Unless there was a death. Also it doesn't become a 1x1. Roleplay on this scale there is bound to be conversations. As well of you say you in the same room after you first reaction you could have posted again.

Sorry if this offends anyone but it is how I feel.

Soren, I agree with CorruptedShadow in that I would like to stick to posting order as much as possible and that personal conversations like the one you're attempting to initiate should not happen in the face of larger events (ie., Lao's discussion with the priests).

No offense taken, of course, I fully support you expressing your opinion. I think keeping with the posting order is just a better way to go. By this I don't mean a specific order like Soren, CS, Wayward, etc., but rather only posting once in a given round of posts. It has always worked out fine for me and avoids the 1x1 feel that CS has described. That said, your post wasn't out of line, and sometimes it does work out that way, but I would prefer to keep the posting relatively organized.

Howdy, folks! Hope to have some fun writing with you all. :D

Basic Information
Name: Ren Huntington
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Homeworld: Has never said, though was found in Old Bastion.
Affiliation (light, dark, or other): Light

Physical Information

Appearance: Ren stands at a confident 6’1’’, his calming aura brings about a relaxing presence whenever he is around others, including those that his not highly fond of. He likes to keep his black hair at a medium length, unkempt and brushed to the side ever slightly. His skin is moderately tanned, nothing but what would seem a normal tan on someone after being outside for a couple of hours, and his body well toned, due to hours of training and exercise. Ren prefers to wear lighter, baggy clothing, allowing his body to breathe when moving about when experiencing everyday life, but has a much different stance when it comes to battle attire.
Casual Attire: Casual Gear.
Battle Attire: Battle Gear.

Personal Information

Personality: Ren is a very careful and calm person, taking in all that is around him before jumping to any kind of decisions. Because of this, a lot of people tend to look to him for guidance or even the small role of leadership, though he's never really considered himself the kind of person that would ever be cut out for that position. He's been told that he is very trustworthy and always holds up to his word, regardless of the problems that arise that would have him suffer to keep it... and he would have to agree. He would prefer to suffer for someone than to have them deal with the pain.

History: Ren doesn't like to talk much about his life before being found on Old Bastion. What he has let go to others is that he is from another World that had it own fair share of problems and conflicts. He and a group of others had been trying to right a horrible wrong that was being done to their world, even after losing the one that he loved most on that side of existence. Having lost her, his mind and eventual body itself began to wander away from the fighting and somehow ended up in Old Bastion. Even he is unsure as to how he landed in this World, and while he is still searching for a way to get back, knows that he must use what is given to him to do so.

When he awoke in Old Bastion, his mind was still groggy from the sudden displacement, and was given a place to sleep by an old doctor in the area. He gave him some medicine and tried his best trying to coax information out of Ren as to what world he came from, if he remembered anything about his past or anything that might be deemed useful in helping him get home. Ren kept himself quiet on a lot of details, and feigned as though he couldn't remember much other than being lost and suddenly waking up in this area. The doctor didn't press the issue, though he was very curious as to what Ren might be hiding, and offered him a room to stay before sending him on his way. Ren thanked the man, and took to sleep as well as he ever had.

During his sleep, his mind raced of his life back home. Fighting the greater power with a force much smaller than theirs, they did their best. During his dream, her face flashed before him a multitude of times, her stare and her deep blue eyes staring back at him with a smile... each flash caused him to shift uncomfortably in his sleep. The fight raged on when suddenly he saw her again, this time on the floor, bleeding from a hole in her chest, begging him to leave and to take the others with him. He tossed in his sleep violently as his eyes began to stream tears down his face once more; he had told himself that he wouldn't cry again, but seeing it so vividly... it was too much for his dreaming state to handle. With a furious roar, he shouted, "No!" and woke up, his body lurching forward. He sat there on the bed, his body partially covered by the white sheet when he felt something brushing against his leg. He pulled back the cloth to see something that he clearly never expected: a Keyblade.

The next morning, the doctor asked him what it was that Ren might have been dreaming about that caused him to be so vocal so late into the night. He produced the Keyblade in front of him, and the doctor gasped. Ren asked if the doctor knew of anyone that might be able to help him, and the doctor told him what it was that was going on in the Worlds that were connected. He told him of the struggle that happened nearly fifty years ago, and the continuing struggle that was going on in the present time. He told Ren of a Master on this World. Taking his leave of the doctor and thanking him for all that he gave him, he set out of find this Master Yaun Lao in hopes of finding some answers.
Other Notes: Connoisseur of corn dogs; doyen of puns (or so he says.)

Battle Information

Weapons: Chained Fate.

Abilities:

• Guard


• Thunder

Other Information

Notes: Ren is more comfortable in using his hand-to-hand combat over using "traditional" weapons (ie. the Keyblade), and will be a bit hardheaded in trying to get him to do so. He trained for several years with a brother-in-arms until their eventual splitting of ways, making him adept at one-on-one combat, though his prowess with Magic is a bit lackluster.

I was hoping round robin wasn't the way you were doing this. In that case you may have to remind me to post. It just makes it more complicated to me sorry

Enix, you are accepted, per our personal correspondence.

Soren, round robin is only the base structure. Like I said, posts that break the sequence when called for are fine, but were you and Wayward to continue a personal narrative in the face of the larger events, the dialogue with the priests would become more complicated to resolve. I'll be sure to remind you when to post, but as an easy reference, just wait until everyone else has posted once you get something up.

Hey, I'm really sorry everyone, but I need to finish some discussion with Wayward regarding RP events and the new arrivals before making a post. This means that I will likely not be getting a post up today. I'm sorry about that, but please know I'm doing my best to get a post up as soon as possible. In addition, with new characters being added, I'd like to try to get their entrances settled before making the post (as in, I'd like to have an idea of how we'll be introducing them before moving the plot ahead any further).

I will keep you all updated daily, so expect a status update tomorrow. Again, I apologize for the wait.

@Soren: the chief reason for me not posting (in terms of the RP logistics) is because my post was going to lead back to us needing a response from Kurai. So I wanted to wait for him to respond before I did again, unless the response time got too much longer, that is.

@Enix: everything looks solid. Welcome aboard.

After some discussion with Kurai, I will be posting next. Aiming for tomorrow to have it up.

I will still be making a post for the Dark side, but I will not be controlling the priests anymore. Expect something up from me over the weekend.

Just letting everyone know that my post is now up. Soren and Shadow, feel free to post your way out of the room with the priests. Enix, you may enter if you so desire. I wanted to get into the mix sooner as opposed to later, so I figured I'd have your character already having found Old Bastion.

I will more than likely have a post up tonight, or by tomorrow night by the latest, so I don't hold up things too much.

Hey guys, I can get a post in by tomorrow. Been busy lately with moving and yadda-yadda. Apologies!

I'm really sorry I took so long to get a post up, everyone. I'm trying to facilitate the entry of two new characters; once the players have their sheets done, I'll have them come introduce themselves. It's not the best post, but it works for now and gives the dark side something to respond to until the other two come in.
