[OOC] Ragnarok: Gods Descending

[Razqua]

@Orior So maybe if the others aren't posting at this point we should just move on without them. 7 People is enough and sometimes people do disappear from rps. We'll never get going if we keep waiting for them.

[Orior]

@Razqua That very well might be the case. I did work all weekend though, and didn't really have the chance to do it anyway. I'll be moving along, as well as finally getting those OP edits up, by... mid-week, to say the latest, though hopefully sooner.

I wanted to give the people who joined recently some decent time to post.

[Riaxh]

working on a reply now, though I might not be done before tomorrow :< (please don't kill me for always lurking)

[Orior]

@Riaxh Lurking means you're paying attention and being active in the RP at least some what - that's a good thing. :]

[Flora]

I finally had time to post. (I was exhausted, so it might affect the post quality, but I managed to finish it nonetheless.)

[Baconator]

Back from my weekend escapades.

[Orior]

Ok, I want to at least post again IC today, but Im working til late so well see how it goes. Excuses, excuses...

[BCTheEntity]

Koe Henir is in the tavern now, so if anybody there feels like interacting with him, that's fine. If they don't, that's also fine. Either which way is cool with me.

[Riaxh]

hmmm posted. Not really happy with it. But its 4am so it'll have to do >.>

[Tracyarmav]

@Riaxh It's more than enough to work with and better than may own, so I thank you. Reply will be up soon, I hope.

Edit: @Orior Just noticed you wanted to change the RP to full, you should be able to change it with the "Edit Topic" button which can be found just under the RP's Title. This may not be available from your phone, I'm not sure as my phone's to dumb for that sort of thing.

[Orior]

@Tracyarmav I know; I've tried and it says that status in invalid.

[Tancuras]

@BCTheEntity Just realized Koe Henir is an anagram. Lol :P

EDIT: Damnit, there's no S.

[Tracyarmav]

@Tracyarmav I know; I've tried and it says that status in invalid.

@Orior

... Ask a mod then? Hmm, If I find anything else I'll let you know.

[BCTheEntity]

@BCTheEntity Just realized Koe Henir is an anagram. Lol :P

EDIT: Damnit, there's no S.

@Tancuras

Aw. Didn't realise it was nearly an anagram myself... @Orior, permission to change my character's name to Kos Henir?

[Riaxh]

For every day @Orior does not advance the plot. Mitchin kills a kitty.

[gammaflux]

After much procrastination I have finally finished my character.

Caelica Evris

Name:

Caelica Evris

Age:

19

Race:

Human

Appearance:

Caelica is of average height and of a slightly lower weight than the average female. She is a natural brunette, with long flowing hair goes down to about her waist and bangs that lay just above her large brown eyes. Her hair covers her ears and her bangs cover part of her face. (More cute than hot) She’s considered attractive by most people, but not overly so. Her face has soft features, and makes her look slightly younger than she actually is, by about a year or two. She wears a simple white shirt as well as a red skirt and thigh high socks.

Personality:

Caelica is kind to others upon first meeting them, however if she feels like they’re making stupid decisions or risking their life for unnecessary reasons they’ll definitely lose points with her. In fact she’ll get in verbal fights with other people if they wind up endangering others through their own actions that are obviously bad from the get go. Endangering yourself by pulling some stunt is one thing, but when you risk other people’s lives with your own actions that’s a different thing entirely. There are a few exceptions to this rule though. If it didn’t seem like a bad idea or if someone the outcome was uncertain for the most part it can usually be forgiven. Survival is everything to Caelica, and she will even embarrass herself willingly if it means surviving another day. Of course even Caelica has her limits and just how much she can tolerate. Once she gets angry it takes a while for her to cool down, and if the argument is bad enough she may lose most or even all of the respect she had for the person/group she argued with. She won’t actively try to get revenge on anyone who has wronged her though.

Morality / Religion:

Caelica pays tribute to one of the lesser deities. The god of survival Hethron who has so far not betrayed his followers and does not plan to. Instead Hethron helps those who worship him by helping them obtain just enough to survive. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s a basic deity that only some people worship. Though he is somewhat known. Hethron does not actively participate when it comes to fighting other deities, and instead prefers to stay in his pantheon making visits to Reath every now and then only to help out worshippers and other people he comes across. He himself will fight, but only if he knows he won’t die in the process. This usually equates to him only fighting beasts, monsters, or the demons rather than other deities themselves in most cases, as Hethron himself values his survival over his followers. Caelica understands Hethron’s reasoning for this and thinks the same way. Sure she’ll help someone in need if possible, but if it winds up getting her killed then what’s the point? The only ones she’d actively defend even at the cost of her own life are people who are stronger than her, either physically or mentally. Anything that will allow the future generation to be stronger and have a better chance of survival. Crippled, disabled, racist (as they won’t be as likely to cooperate with other races), or anyone else that won’t be useful in helping others survive aren’t worth her time if it means risking her life or receiving injury.

Biography:

Having been born in the now tainted world known as Reath, Caelica’s parents struggled to survive with all the destruction, famine, and chaos that spread throughout the world. Many times her parents almost died trying to find a safe place to stay to keep themselves and their daughter safe. Her father and mother were warriors, though her mother was only trained by her father after the great descent occurred. This was to keep her and Caelica safe should he himself die. When Caelica was 15 years old her parents were traveling with a rather large group only to have shadow beasts appear. Her father and mother fought desperately to keep their daughter safe and sacrificed themselves for her and the rest of the group. Her father’s last words to her were “Run Caelica, run and survive. We will hold them off here. Now get out of here with everyone else and we’ll catch up with the group later on. We won’t die here, we’ll survive for sure.”

Of course her mother and father never did show up at the next town over, though Caelica secretly hopes that they’re still alive even though she knows the chances are slim. The only thing that gives her hope is that she knows they were closer to the town they had been in before rather than the one they were traveling to. So maybe they went back to get some supplies and heal up. Though at the same time it’s discouraging because a few months later the town was supposedly destroyed. Caelica still tries to believe they’re alive though, surviving somewhere. Probably as worried about her as she is about them. Because of this she made a promise to herself to survive as well, so that one day, just maybe she can see her parents again. At the same time though, it’s not a fully serious promise and she is prepared to break it if it means having a better outcome for the world in the end, but it is something that motivates her, especially when she’s stuck in a pinch.

Her father had taught her the basics and a few more advanced moves of the Pommel/Hilt Striking, and her mother taught her how to identify various plants as well as what kinds of uses they may have. She trained and studied hard pouring her soul into each of these activities so that she may ultimately have a better chance of surviving. Sure herbs are especially rare nowadays. But if Caelica was lucky enough to find some it could save her or someone else’s life one day.

Currently Caelica has been traveling around trying to find a safer region to inhabit. Her current travellings have led her to the city of Urenda. It may not be ideal, but right now there’s not much that is. She has decided to stay here until she feels like it’s time to relocate again.

@OriorI hate to ask this but have you been following this thread the past few days?

[Riaxh]

@Razqua Something has probably come up IRL. it happens :S

[Orior]

Alright. This past week... Just trust me to say I'd have much rather had been on here than doing what I was actually doing. ;A;

Ugh. Yesterday was the first day I had off in a week and I was so fried I just sat and stared pathetically at the Ragnarok google doc... >>

I will say, that a few day absences are not uncommon for me, but a whole week shouldn't happen too often. HOWEVER! That is why I kept posting open; I had hoped you guy's would've kept going, but there isn't really much for your characters to do 'cept mingle. Then next post, which will be up by the end of tomorrow, will progress the story to night, and we'll have some action. Then you'll meet Del! :D

BC, yeah you can change his name, though I don't like fundamental changes in a submitted character, its a single damn letter and we have barely even started. I believe I need to update your character still as well anyways, so I shall do both at once.

@gammaflux I havent had a chance to completely review her but what I have read seems fine; though dont quote me cause I havent even read her backstory. I'll have it finished in a few hours (im at work right now).

If I didnt address someone's concerns, please let me know! Im only human. And a scatterbrained one at that. ><

If anyone needs me the fastest response youll get is in the chat.
