@Free Faller So the fact that you don't speak Arabic means you don't get the joke with Hakim's name and he nickname/title

Okay!

First post is up, everyone. To hopefully avoid any rush of posting requiring people to edit at the start, I'd like to make sure the first person that's going calls it out here (first come, first serve). That person will be the first to introduce themselves to Loreia, people after can situate themselves in the courtyard wherever, and interact with each other until they're called up. I'm not going to have a posting order as I said before, but I would ask that you hold off on posting again until 5-6 people have gone after you.

If the IC wasn't clear, your characters will meet guards outside the manor's walls. They'll escort you inside and into the school's training grounds, where there will be a bunch more guards keeping watch around Loreia and the grounds themselves. The first person will be taken straight to Loreia, while the others will be asked to wait.

It might be easier to do introductory stuff with Loreia in collab, if you'd prefer to write your character's talk with her that way I can set up a pirate pad or something. In general I'm all for collab'd posts if you guys wanna do them for outside of the arena stuff, just let us know if you're working on something and don't go too far with it if other characters are in the scene.

Whew. Okay, ask away with any questions. Otherwise, first one to call it here in OOC can go ahead and intro their character. Others can flood in after that.

Ooh... yes. I like that first post. I need to wait for Badger, though, given that our characters are travelling together.

I'd call up that first intro spot if I wasn't on my 3DS right now, regardless I'd like to state how excited I am for this RP.

I'd actually rather not go first, I like the idea of Kaseem silently standing in an antechamber completely covered head to toe in black creeping everyone out.

I could go first if people want. It'd be up later tonight probably.

I would also rather wait a bit ^^
Just remember that there is a creepy beastmen standing in the room.

So it sounds like unless anyone's willing and able to intro right now and doesn't want to wait, the first post will go to @Viciousmarrow.

@Estella@Viciousmarrow I am free now and could write something if people want to get the ball rolling, reading your post I see we'll all be in the same place, so I can do my creeping after speaking with Loreia

I'm currently at my sisters graduation, so i wont be home for another couple hours

So who will go first?

@Kassarock Go for it! I'll be out for a few hours.

So nobody like... blow the place up while I'm gone, heh.

@CollectorOfMyst

Yeah given the first IC post is up if you want to work on your draft a bit and maybe refine it now we know the setting a bit more, I'll have something ready tomorrow for you!

@AngryBadger

I'll get to work on it! Might fall asleep first, though.

I am basically about to go to bed and will be doing a spot of traveling tomorrow, so I'll probably be posting some time in the afternoon/evening

Ready to write whenever! I'll start working on a draft ASAP, let me know what order I should post in!

Right, a little longer than I expected there, but we're off!

I can take next, if no one else intends to.

EDIT: Scratch that. Forgot what hours I'm working.

Nah, I picked up what you were putting down. "Prince of Luck" but owls are bad omens; stealing kids and flying into the night to eat their faces off and whatnot. Persians take a lot of stuff from the Arabic language and cultures.

And I can start writing up a post too. Probably take me a few hours, but since I type everything on word anyways I can easily alter my post if any new posts come in to make sure it fits.

@Themerlinhawk Is it not because Hakim means Wise and owls are associated with wisdom?
