[OOC] As Darkness Fell - A dark fantasy story

[Life in Stasis]

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.

@dreamingflowers

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

[dreamingflowers]

Can't wait to start!!
So excited :D
Let's go smite some demons guys lol

@Life in Stasis

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

[Life in Stasis]

@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.

[Life in Stasis]

@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.

[dreamingflowers]

@Life in Stasis
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

[Unraveller]

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

[Nariata]

Well this active OOC shall soon become an active IC. I have been hard at work on it and am nearing a point where I feel confident in the theme of the opening. Just need to finish, polish, and post.

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

[SolumArtifex]

I am new to this site but not new to long advanced posts for role-playing. I decided to check this out and I am VERY interested in joining!

[Nariata]

@SolumArtifex

I am afraid we are now full on people :(

[SolumArtifex]

@Nariata

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

[Nariata]

@SolumArtifex

Cheers buddy! And welcome to the site!

[Nariata]

@Holy Soldier ACCEPTED.

Post is nearly finished now as an FYI. I will probably wait until tomorrow to finish the beautification of it as it is starting to get late and I do have a full shift tomorrow morning. The good news is that it will be up no later than this time tomorrow!!!!

[Unraveller]

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]

Kestrel seems like she'd be useful, could give me something to enchant :P

[Delta44]

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

[Unraveller]

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!

[Bishop]

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?

[choraki]

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...)
