Sorry for the triple post. Meant to link you on the last one. ^^

@Feisty-Pants: While I'd admit I'd prefer an illustration for her image(mostly because everyone else used an illustration so it'd be more consistent) as the bio is now she's acceptable.

@VitaVitaAR

Hm? I can find an image real quick for you then. I'll ket you know when it's fixed. So I'm able to copypasta it to the CS section? And am I free to hop in?

[VitaVitaAR]

@Feisty-Pants: Um, yeah, just need to copy-paste it into the characters tab and you're free to start posting.

@VitaVitaAR

Okay, image changed and I should be posting sometime today after I review some prior posts and get a good feel for things. ^__^

Edit: Posted to cache as well. ^__^

[VitaVitaAR]

Thank you for being understanding about the image. ^^;

@VitaVitaAR

Huh? Oh! No worries at all, fanart of her is thankfully VERY easy to find.

Also, if you wanted a better grasp of how she fights, see here:

I'll get a post later today. @Feisty-Pants there's a few of us with newer characters that are going to be hanging out in the Order HQ back in the capitol since the current arc is nearing its end and would be hard to jump into.

Markus will be coming back from something, taking a bath, then heading for the mess hall if anybody would like to start an interaction with him.

@Saltwater Thief

Prepare to talk with a Captain then. ^_^

I'm looking at this RP with giant stars in my eyes- it's a lot of what I always wanted to play on this site (plus it'll be helpful for the RPG campaign I'm planning)!!!!!

Are you still looking for peeps??? I have a couple ideas for characters.

@Aleranicus: We're definitely still open!

I'm eager to see what you have in mind.

[Aleranicus]

It would depend largely upon where you think the plot is headed. Like I said, I have a couple of ideas but I'd like to keep it open to the group's needs and not hijack the story.

Can I get two questions answered?

1.) Is there such a thing as psychic magic in this setting? Literally just telepathy/empathy is all I'm looking for here.
2.) What is the relationship of Thaln with its neighbors/citizens right now? Any major conflicts brewing since the plot started up? (I haven't read the entire IC thread yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so).

[VitaVitaAR]

1.) That kind of thing does exist, but we have a lot of magic knights right now.
2.) Pretty good. Velt, Ithillin, Chauntressy, and as-of-yet unnamed western country are all pretty friendly or neutral.

[Aleranicus]

Roger that!

I have several thoughts with backstories/problems/arcs they could bring to the table:

1.) A human family with land near the borders of Velt and Thaln, this plot of land is small and was granted as a favor for the family's service in the War of the Red Flag as an afterthought, but now it is generating more and more grief for the King and Queen- settlers are encroaching on Velt's forests, cutting down trees and hunting their game. The noble's armsmen are too few in number to put a stop to this, and the family's eldest child has been sent as a hostage to Velt to prevent an invasion while The Fated Child is sent to Thaln's capital to enlist in the Rose Knights, and ingratiate the family to the Queen once again. If only the youngest could learn a more conventional fighting style than the Battle Dancers of Reon...

2.) The Envoy of the Queen has returned from a mission of healing to the southern city of Ahta, a place that is within the borders of Thaln and bound to it by ancient treaty but also fiercely, dangerously independent. The Envoy is trained to serve the Goddess Mayon as an Acolyte to her Second Prophet, Marcos who preached that those who healed with magic should do so at the cost of themselves during the time of the Plague of Red Death. An outdated notion, but one that still survives to this day in more "backward" parts of Thaln.

3.) The Fool grew up among the disciples of the Green God in the north. Insular and haughty, these folk pay their tithes to the Queen and expect to be left alone. Fleeing a crime that has Outcast her from the community, the initiate arrives at the heart of Thaln with a request- that their mother's mother's mother's service to the Crown be remembered, and they be allowed to squire for the Iron Rose Knights

Like I said, I don't plan to hijack the thread with their backstories, but I'd like to fit in fairly well with the story.

Working on a post!!

[ghastlyInc]

Woot! I'll probably hold off on my post till you and saltwater are done then. will probably be up by tonight?

[VitaVitaAR]

@Aleranicus: I'm.. hesitant because you mention a lot of new events and concepts. Could you elaborate on those?

Though one important note is I doubt Thaln would forget where Velt borders them. ^^;

[Aleranicus]

@VitaVitaAR Fair enough! I mostly meant for these different ideas to throw in flavor rather than to rewrite anything major. It's your universe, and you have veto power over any and every detail I put up there.

If you'd like me to strip it down to the bare minimum:
1.) A battle-dancer from the stix comes to join the Knights and regain favor.
2.) A healer/Paladin returns from a troubled land and is assigned to help the Rose Knights.
3.) A trainee from an isolated area of the Kingdom creates a new life and discovers her ancestor's roots.

And I quite agree re: the border, mostly it's meant as a "something funny is going on up there" adventure hook ^///^

I'm going to retire Umbra due to potential overlap. Might try an easier to handle character.
