[OOC] Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

[Demonic Angel]

@EthTenshi

Stay clear of Free's character. She's rather violent in a fight.

[EthTenshi]

@Demonic Angel

Thank you for the advice, but to Sinys everyone is hostile.

[Demonic Angel]

@EthTenshi

I'm... Not... Violent...

[EthTenshi]

@Demonic Angel

Sinys is blind and in an unfamiliar environment, everything is hostile to him hahah.

[Demonic Angel]

@EthTenshi

[EthTenshi]

@Demonic Angel

Fine I'll make an edit so that he instantly knows that Keri is a nice person, that cool?? ;)

[Demonic Angel]

@EthTenshi

I wouldn't say completely nice. I just stated she wasn't violent. I didn't mean for you to change it. Keri would be just as anti social to him as anyone else. Though she would treat sento's and your character a bit differently since their blind. The way she would know that is by noting your actions.

[EthTenshi]

@Demonic Angel

I was being facetious :)

[Demonic Angel]

@EthTenshi

Ooookkkkaaaayyyy I think?

[Fallenreaper]

I'll try to crank out a post tomorrow, though @Luna I have a request of you and a reminder. If you need a leave of absence, merely mention it to the GMs or in the OoC preferably for whatever reason and if not, I need to post Summer's reaction or Ellys will coil and hurt her (possibly seriously put her out of commission). No GM appreciates an LOA without being told and notified.

[Demonic Angel]

I have a rather odd and a risky question Fallen... Is there by chance Khan can release the demonic plant to help Annabeth and them? Or something to that effect. I've got the three jokers Rtron. Althalus needs to help Annabeth and Lyn but before you post before me if its alright could you eventually meantion about him having Keri's necklace in his pocket and her pushing him to tell him to go after the original. Not enough to hurt him. Keri isn't thinking she's going to make it. That's why she placed the necklace inside his pocket so Annabeth could give it to Colette. Yes, I know she will live before you say it Fallen but she don't. Keep it safe Lucius Keri will be back for it :)

@Demonic Angel

Little issue with the plant, it's still in development. No one decided to explore or even inquire about its appearance, which requires interact with Khan directly and influencing his work speed on projects, so it was never developed for usage by Herbamancers. When a plot, idea or other segment isn't explored in this rp then their progress is affected and usually in a negative way. This is how players affect the future of the rp enabling them to gain addition weapons, aid, and more to more.

Now knowing this knowledge, I'm considering giving a few days of lull in order to let the players pick up or explore what was forgotten in the skips in order to stir them into progression. As well as interact with one another, teachers, etc.

The main reason I want to do this is because I want to give players a chance to create their own fun for a little bit and add some happy moments to the story currently after all the hell we've currently put the PCs through. However, I'm considering putting a time limit on it so the lull doesn't last too long and the rp runs a risk of dying. Player thoughts and opinions, including which they prefer, would be appreciate though it might not affect the GMs' final decision.

@Fallenreaper

In that case whatever Tyrael is working on Baulder is gonna accelerate a bit XD.

[Demonic Angel]

O_O I'm kinda frightened now

[cqbexpt]

At the moment I'm waiting to see if any of the other catacombs students pick up on the fact that Baulder is being carried away right now. If they don't I'll have to figure a way out.

[May]

Okay, I think I'm good?

[Fallenreaper]

Okay, so please excuse typos. I'm working with lack of sleep and I've been editing this on my phone on and off for the last 21 days so I'm sure something has slipped me by. But I'm (hopefully) finally done.

Helena

UserName:
May

Character name:
Helena Axford

Age:
18

Mageblood type:
Lux

Favoured Magic Class:
Pryormancy

Previous Magic training:
She's done some reading, but no real training. So a somewhat read novice.

Race:
Human

Appearance:
On the lower end of average height, fair skinned, freckled and bispecteled. Bright green eyes set in a a face that might be a little too pretty for her own good, with a smile that can easily throw you off (though not always in the best of ways). Athleticly slim. Shoulder length wavey red hair often tied back when working, but left free otherwise. A slew of piercings, mostly in her ears, though she's got a ring through her right nostril as well as a few other body piercings. A fire colored tattoo of a phoenix around her right wrist, a heraldic lion on her right hip and lower back, and a outline of a peacock across her shoulder blades with just the head colored in so far.

Bio:
Third child of seven, of her father's at least, she was raised around a large extended family in Port Slaughter. Not all of this family was blood. Her father, along with assorted family members where caught up, unsurprisingly, in business of less than legal nature. Her life was comfortable enough, even if not spared all the darkness of the city around them.

She lived mostly with her mother, though it was not uncommon for her to spend time at either her oldest brother's home with his mother or with her father and his wife and her younger siblings, and on other occasions at the place her aunt shared with one of her uncle's. Despite what might have been awkward, the separate units were all very happy with the set up. Aside from her older sister's mother who kept the girl away from the rest of them for very petty reasons (her father refusing to marry her). The rest of them though seemed to have no problem with everyone else involved.

Though her father loved all his children, it wasn't too terribly difficult to tell that Helena was his favorite. There was some tension with her younger sister's the most, but Helena did all she could to defuse the tension with them. Which worked mostly well, though there's still occasion where things are awkward with the girls.

Despite the seven years between them, she was closet with her eldest brother, him being the elder of the two of them. It was easy to bound being the the ones who didn't have other siblings at home with their mother's. They bonded quickly as children, he treating her half like a brother and rough housing with her without problems and also being very much her big brother and being super over protective of her. Even as they grew older they were very close and Helena could often be found tagging along after him, no matter what trouble he was getting into.

Her mother took ill when she was about thirteen, and no matter what they did, the healers they saught out, could save her from her fate, only lessen her suffering. It was a malignant growth in her brain. It was too big, too advance when they found it to much about it that wouldn't also hurt her mother to do. They just treated what they could and eased her pain. When she was fifteen her mother finally passed, leaving her to become fully emersed in her father's less than legal business. Expanding her already questionable skill set. Most girls her age weren't well taught in the art of beating a man up well, but Helena was.

But the stress of everything didn't wear well on the normally hot tempered girl and something in her snapped. And she lit a man on fire who was trying a little too hard and not taking a no for an answer. It had happened so quickly, she wasn't for sure when it started. He was up in her face, being grabby and just generally too fresh. She said no, over and over, and he wouldn't take a hint. Helena tried backing away, but he followed closely, grabbing her wrist painfully and pulling her in hard against him. She grabbed his wrist with her right hand, and just thinking about how much she wanted to hurt him the way he'd done her was enough. She felt the heat in her hand, but it was a distant thing, no pain for her. But soon enough he was gasping and trying to pull out of her grasp. But she didn't let go, even as the smell of burning flesh came to her nose, the smoke curling out from under her hand as the small flames licked at his arm. He was screaming and the whole tavern was staring at them in utter, totally silent, shock by the time she passed out. Thankfully she was not alone at the time and once she'd passed out, she was taken home. When she came too she was disoriented and couldn't remember what had happened. He'd live, even if he would have an ugly scar as a reminder of what had happened for the rest of his life. When they told her, she was both horrified and rather excited about the prospect of lighting not human things on fire in the future.

Helena worked on and off for her father's boss when they had need of her. She helped het father and uncle with intimidation, which worked well as news of what had happened in the tavern spread. She never really asked what it was that her older brother did for the gang, she never really bothered to question too deeply what it was the gang did in general. They moved stuff, she knew, getting things for other people as they requested. She just helped make sure that no one really got hurt by threatening to hurt them if they tried.

But she was untrained and it was often dangerous for her. And others. And other property. She read what she could, mages not being totally uncommon in her family, but it had been a few years since any had studied, most of them left their powers rather ignored as long as it wasn't harmful to anyone. But without more directed training, her old man feared she burn herself out. So at eighteen he insisted rather forcefully that she seek out someone to teach her, even if that meant going away to the college. And so she did. Even if she had to have her boyfriend drag her there.

Good Attributes:
Passionate. Loyal. Determined. Hard working. She doesn't give up easily and will work until the job is done. You'd be hard pressed to get her away from a problem.

Artistically inclined. She loves paintings and reading. But on top of that she isn't too horrible of an artist herself, she's just never dedicated too much of her time on it sadly.

Athletic. She spent a lot of her childhood running around with the boys. And with boys much older than her. So she had to keep up with them. She's grown out of playing ball games with them, but she can outrun most of them now that she's bigger, despite being smaller than a lot of them.

Bad Attributes:
Hot tempered, stubborn, occasionally prone to brawling. Which is a terrible combination. She'll take on fights that she's not always so sure about winning simply because she's reached the point of boiling a little too fast. And she doesn't back down easily either. She's also a bit of a white Knight and will sometimes jump to the rescue of someone she sees as weaker or in need. It's frankly a miracle that she's not had more broken bones in her life.

While a questionable bad skill, she generally good a typical Rouge things. Lock picking, persuasion (mostly by flirting and using her physical charms), and being sneaky. They're good for her work, but not really the best things to know. She often uses for personal gain, getting things for free with no intention of returning the favor that she so heavily hinted at to whoever she was getting the thing from. Which has lead to more than one fight.

She also frequently finds herself getting drinks for free, more than she should drink. But that doesn't stop her from accepting them and drinking them. Which totally isn't a problem she swesrs. It isn't like she can't live without a drink. At least not there yet.

Secret Word:
Rebirth
