[OOC] Red Rose

That sounds so cool! did you hear about that one guy you went dressed as Marty McFly to a renaissance festival and nobody recognised him

[Balthazar]

Longest post I've ever done, over to you guys.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Nope, but I did take this video.

Arguably the best show at the festival, good comedy if you have time to watch it.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Alrighty, I have posted.

[Balthazar]

Oh guys can I just please ask you to indicate to me what your general ideas on character development are, for example Ada is going to be really judgemental and prejudice. I want her to learn to be accepting and take responsibility for her actions. You can either PM me or reply to this.

Laakari

Name: Laakari Monstrator

Creature: Half-blood Elf

Age: ???

Personality: Laakari is well-respected as a master of alchemy. In addition to his extensive knowledge and practice in element chemistry, science, and medicine, he is a skillful inventor and engineer. He takes his work very seriously and will often spend weeks at a time in his laboratory, barely remembering to eat or even sleep. He is a very reserved individual and not very sociable, although he has a love for children and delights in teaching the local ones to read and write and do simple arithmetic, and will occasionally take on young apprentices to pass on his deeper knowledge to.

Bio: Laakari’s heritage is nothing special, he had to work very hard to achieve everything he is today. His father was an elf of Agoston who married a gypsy mundane. Though he was the spit and image of his father, Laakari took after his mother, inheriting her creative nature as well as her wanderlust and leaving home at a young age to study at a monastery in Tariq, became an apprentice to an alchemist and moved to Jabari with his master, and after finally graduating moved once more and settled outside of Eira where he set up his own laboratory. His reclusive nature has attracted the attention of the local fae children, who often dare each other to sneak up to Laakari’s house. A small handful of these are regular visitors whom Laakari treats as guests in his home.
Being only half elf, Laakari has no inherent magical gifts, though the work he does in his laboratory would certainly seem like magic to many. However, being an elf he has retained an affinity for green growing things and animals. He keeps a garden for the purpose of growing useful herbs and flowers and a few other “useless” plants that he simply thinks are beautiful.
A few years back, an accident involving a chemical explosion caused the loss of his right hand and right eye. To compensate he manufactured for himself a functioning mechanical hand, though there was nothing he could do for his eye and he now wears a red scarf around his forehead to cover it.

Appearance:

Novell

Novell is Laakari's current apprentice, a fae child only 9-years-old but filled with potential. Seeing her natural talent and philosophical mind, Laakari offered to take her under his care since her parents were quite poor and struggling just to feed her. She has been his ward nearly eight months now, and though she is young and only a child, she possesses an exceptional capacity to understand things and is eager to learn whatever the elf has to teach her, affectionately calling him "Uncle Laakari."

I don't usually do a lot in the way of planning character development, it just kind of happens naturally as the story progresses. Aergar, as I said before, has the potential to become better, as well as the potential to become worse and right now he seems to be hanging in the balance. The events of the story will dictate what happens. Laakari has a lot more room for growth though, being reclusive and not particularly important he could become a leader, politically or otherwise.

Oh just a heads up, if you want to include music into your text, feel free
Edit: thinking of creating another character of my own. Hmm.

Just another thing, from now on I'm leaving the first masterpost alone and will add stuff to my following posts so they will all be found on the first page: my motivation is that if I have the information spread out it's easier for new comers to absorb and I'm then less likely to loose a ton of stuff if something goes wrong.

Elvish gods apart from uber gods

[Balthazar]

Pie, you're up

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Wait'n on you

[Lord Pie]

Sorry for the delay guys. I shall direct my immediate attention to getting a post written up.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Hooray! Welcome back :D

[Balthazar]

Hello, I promise posts are on their way. I'm just busy and waiting for the perfect creative moment.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

It's cool, I'm having a busy week so not in a hurry or anything.

[Lord Pie]

Will get a post up tomorrow asap guys! :)

How is everyone doing anyway?

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Great, I went home for the weekend so I got to enjoy some R&R and home-cooked food.

Though our wi-fi was down for like two days (happens when you live in the middle of nowhere) so I couldn't really get online much except with my phone (service is also bad when you live in the wilderness), but I'm back now. Also it's about 5AM cuz I got a ride back with my dad on his way to work, and my dorm room is locked so I have to wait for my roommate to wake up before I can get in xD Luckily we have class today so that should be around 7 or so. 7 is when I'm gonna knock anyway.

I watched Gravity for the first time with my best friend (we got it from Redbox because no wi-fi means no Netflix) and it was really cool, I liked it.

I also doodled Aergar all over my syllabus last week, he's turned into a really fun character to draw, kinda cartoony, but fun.

Oh yeah, and I brought back food. My mom always sends food back with me when I come home to visit ^.^

[Lord Pie]

Thats cool!

and yeah I really liked Gravity, good film.

I've got a post half written up but my PC is throwing up critical Hard Drvie errors :s So i'm trying to fix that now. Hopefully will work and not take to long.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Technical difficulties are a pain. Hope you get it cleared up.

[Lord Pie]

Well it looks like my PC may die at any time. I've not been able to find any solution - its a harddisk failure thing, and apparently I need to get a replacement. Hopefully it'll last till payday :s
