Well finally done with my sample post phewww.
If anyone can spot where I got my inspiration I'll die lol
It is basically a copy of that scene with slight adjustments, but I just thought it fit her situation really well.

P.S, Nimue is actually great at keeping the peace, though these characters seem a bit high strung to put it nicely.


It's not perhaps inspired by Sam Niell's love interest?

No it wasn't. But now I'm curious though. Do you mean the actor? Which movie of his?

@dreamingflowers I knew I knew the name "Nimue" from somewhere. In the Merlin TV movie with Sam Niell (where he played Merlin), Nimue was Merlin's lover, and she became so badly burned that she served out much of her life at a convent/temple.

Your Nimue was along these same lines, so I thought perhaps that was it.

Not to say that she's at all a copy. Nimue is a name just like Mark or Beth. And Merlin's Nimue was just a magicless broad in love with a wizard.

I've actually never watched that show, but I can totally see why you would think that.
Nimue is a name often used for the lady of the lake in Arthurian legend. Asherhah is a name of an ancient Goddess, meaning lady of the sea.
I wanted her to be connected to the sea for multiple reasons and have her name reflect that water theme.

@dreamingflowers I actually knew that was the name of the Lady of the Lake, but Arthurian legend has been recycled so many times (there was even a Lady of the Lake character in Merlin separate from Nimue) that I didn't think to make that association. It was both too obvious and too irrelevant.

Yes very true, it has been told many many times XD
The lady of the lake had many names and sometimes there were multiple ones. I'm not really an expert on the subjec though, I just liked the name for this character. The artwork was also called Nimue, so I just kept it.

Sorry guys for half a page of random chatter about my character's name hahaha

Nonsense! An active OOC is an active RP I say! And I for one second the whole, 'smiting demons' thing.

Roth's first post is beating up Mulad, taking his lunch shillings, and scuttling off making Zoidberg sounds.

Oh, alright well in any case, it seems amazing! I am debating on creating one myself from an old storyline I wrote years ago. I just don't know where to start. :\ But ya'll have fun! I will just have to read what you all post. :D

Excellent to hear Nariata, I'm happy to wait for it's perfection, haha! I'll be sure to make attempts to start writing as soon as I find it up. Course, I am a bit on the slow side.

@The Angry Goat She is, essentially, a 'blank slate' after all :D I'm sure enchantments would help her a lot :3

Already picturing a number of interactions between the characters of this group. Definitely shaping up to something good I feel. I suppose if there's anything specific anyone would like to get done in terms of interaction, I'll be all ears of course!

I never understood, well to better put it I wasn't aware and still am confused somewhat. What's the normal/enchanted ratio on equipment and weapons?

I know you guys are full, but is there a waiting list, perhaps? Because, if so, I'd really like to be notificated if there's a gap for me to jump in! (Not hoping that any of you leave, of course...)
