@Oblivion: It being in a hider is always so hard to spot, I kept looking (overlooking I should say) for it and finally saw it. XD

*taps head* Silly me. It looks fine to me, I would just caution to perhaps take the effect of the "speed wind spell" (can't remember the name even though I just looked at it) from a few hours, to maybe just one hour? Getting super speed (well it's pretty much assumed she'll "shut it off" once she's done utilizing it) at her young age on top of her skills with mist and wind manipulation just make me think her getting the speedy ability while draining, for a couple hours seems unfair, unless you up her age to something like 27 or 28? Other than that, yeah you're totally good to go!

@Clumsywordsmith: Okay, bringing my attention back to you!

I get that he's a novice and his experience is not reflecting his age (not that he's OLD I mean...) I just want to find a way where I'm comfortable with his skills in the group and that you're comfortable with anything we can come to agreement with.

@Rayn Night: Awesome.

@Everyone: I will be editing the first post of the OOC with the offical people I know I've Approved or have mostly Approved. Please look for it and make sure you're on it and if you're not, contact me and we'll see what needs to happen. I will be editing a random post here with my own characters as well and that will be found in the first post of the OOC and I am have pretty much the next four or five days to myself so I can get into writing. Homework is done for tomorrow, I have a few Adv 1x1 posts but I would like to get this thing up ASAP so as soon as I finish fleshing out my Character Sheets, I'll begin making an intro. Should anyone have any questions before or after it's posted, let me know. There's no posting order but there will be Rounds.

I will add that in the OOC too, it's just something I've been doing since I started GM'ing years ago, a Round consists of a post from everyone. Just one, no need to throw posts every second. A Round ends when I note everyone has posted. There's no order but it still ensures that interactions and players don't get left out or left behind, so the sooner someone posts, the quicker a Round can finish and I can kick off a new one. Okay?

So I'm almost done with my spells though I'm a bit unhappy with them so I'll keep tweaking. I'll then try and get the IC up tonight before I hit the hay though it's nearly 10 PM and while I don't necessarily have to be in bed anytime soon, it would make getting up for school tomorrow easier but I shall do my best to get it up tonight, since I probably won't sleep well until I do anyway. >___> Again, check the OOC to make sure you're approved to post. Any questions, run em by me better to be safe than sorry.

looking forward to starting! Glad we've got a small-ish group, roleplaying with 8< people can be a bit... tiresome.

Very true. Big groups tend to dwindle down anyway, kind of a bummer which is why I like close knit ones, easier to keep people motivated and stuff.

And since I kinda just stopped in the middle of this one on one post I'm making because my mood just took a turn for the worse, that means I get to polish off my CS and get started on this until my sleeping meds kick in~

decided to try my hand at making a map. It helps me to have a visual indicator when I write.

I did Hullen first, for no particular reason. I haven't polished it yet, ofc, but what do you think of the general shape and geography?



Also, expanded on your description a bit :)

"Hullen is the largest of the 3 continents, set to the north of Lella and to the northeast of Syrro. The land is vibrant and full of life, sporting thick rainforests atop high cliffs, sheltering wide valleys with rolling hills and dense woods, all teeming with life. Rivers, lakes and waterfalls, both above and below ground, provide for a gorgeous backdrop and ensure fresh water is never in short supply. Low, cool, misty swamps at either end of the continent harbor all manner of organisms, from toads the size of a head to larger, undocumented creatures that move about just out of the vision of the land's human inhabitants. These swamps are centers of superstition and fear to this day, and because the shape of the land is continually changing, will most likely never be fully mapped.

The Hullen ((for convenience's sake, just referring to the residents plural as the same name)) have traditionally always relied on hunting and gathering for their sustenance, rather than farming and agriculture. Though their soil is rich and easily tilled, Hullen's land has a tendency to overgrow crops quickly if farms are not carefully tended. Hundreds of years ago, the Hullen were primarily wandering tribes, deeply rooted in tradition and giving prayer to the land upon which they lived for it's abundance.

Today, farming has become commonplace near the edges of the continent, away from the aggressive jungles. The capital of the land is situated near the center of the continent, sheltered on all sides by jungle covered cliffs."

If you like it, I'd enjoy doing the other 2 continents, as this didn't take too long to do, only an hour or 2. I'd also finish this picture up, probably mess with the colors and throw a filter on, make it clear where the capital is, maybe add more locations as they start to come up. If you don't be honest about it, at least, you won't hurt my feelings and I'd rather not spend more time on something that won't be used :)

I'm about down with my Hullen portion but Syrro and Lella will need to wait till tomorrow I think. My brain and mood are just blah right now.

I really like what you've done so far! That's totally awesome. My maps tend to suck ass because I get bouts of laziness halfway through so it's great to have someone show some initiative and do something for the RP on their own. I'd be happy to work with you further in terms of descriptions and plotting the towns/locations we start to collect. My first intro will mention and link reference to Aria in Hullen as well as its own mountain range near some cliffs and a beach so the high level lands you have laid out could just be simple hills and the like, though I could just make the range I referred to, just the tallest and most prominent one. Either way, I can surely see Aria being placed around the northwest where the right side of river is meeting the ocean.

Or on the very top of the country itself where there's a long stretch of mountains at its back, which also works for me too. ^^

My meds are telling me to go to bed. Tomorrow I'll be delayed getting home since I'll be going by foot rather than by car and it'll be late and dark but I will try to finish my intro by tomorrow or I'll work on it before I head off to class at least. I'd skip but I bombed on the homework today so I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong...Anywho, sorry about letting another day pass without an IC. I feel bad but I'm about 1/3 of the day done at least. >_>

Hmmmm

Works pretty well ^^ I lower the time range, although she's known it since she was a child it could be said it's hard to maintain constantly and thus lowers the time bracket. Also, it cannot be used simultaneously with other spells.

Also, I took it out of the hider ^^ Hope it's easier now.

Genk, you seem kind of... overloaded. Would you like some help starting up? I wouldn't mind chipping in more to help you get the RP running smoothly :)

No I'm not overloaded actually. Today was such a good "me" day and then I got on to finish my intro for this and then someone ruined my mood so I ran around the house and screamed for a while...and now I'm feeling slightly better...but still, my OTP was attacked by someone and it upset me which prevented me from actually doing what I logged on to do...>___> But no, I don't need help. Thank you. I'm just a bit really kind of totally pissed off but no, I'm fine and I don't need any help right now, unless one of you has a machine gun I can burrow. :3 So I'm working on my intro along with another post but there are two people I'm mad at and I RP with them currently (no one in this group) so it's killing my buzz. *karate chops a desk in half* That's all. :3

Alright, well, it's good to see you today, anyways. Everybody has those days, I know the feel.

Have a good evening!

Yeah other than that crap, today's been good. Hoping to cap it off with two massive posts. *nods* Same goes for you.

Ah well then, good luck

Thanks.

I'm not worried about writing though, I've got it planned out nicely.

@Everyone: Oh as a heads up, we'll probably be starting in Lella since that's where three of the people are, so those in Syrro and Hullen will sort of be there already with their "partners" because dealing with getting there is a pain. K?

Sounds like a plan. Querene doesn't sound like too much of a pain to travel with xD

...pffft. XD I could make her a pain...well no, we have too many egos in the group already. Heheh.

We only have one ego.... 2 actually (Don't count Rilvaugh in all of this. He is an ass but not with that big of en ego)

Well to each their own.

Anyway um...I got an intro up, mixed feelings about it. Kind of rushed in the end but the point is them banding together and creating some interesting relationships, some selfishly and some selflessly. So the theme/idea for the first chapter will be forming new bonds and seeing where loyalties lie and how well they can put them aside for their own country, since of course they're all after different shards. etc. Let's get this show on the road! XD

So... This sucks because all I have to type on right now is my phone because my very naughty kitty chewed through my power cord and the new one isn't going to be in until sometime this week. (I did think head and order a Bluetooth keyboard for my phone just in case this happens again). I am still active, just might not be putting out any impressive posts until one or the other comes in.

Sorry!

That bites, well since you're stuck on a phone (though I've seen some good posts come from them...) you can take your time. I'd rather you do that than sling out something awful. I mean, you know what I mean...I hope technical stuff straightens out for you. ^^;
