I had that problem as well, I think this works though: http://simg4.gelbooru.com//images/5e/3b/5e3bf55face47e3a3d03d02c06044520.jpg

@Guilty Spark

Fixed. Sorry.
Running it through DeviantArt instead of gel.

Remember, you only have to wait for two posts between your last to post again. So feel free to post away.

[Avanhelsing]

@Lady Amalthea
Shoot. Sorry for only waiting one...

[Lady Absinthia]

@Avanhelsing No worries, if we don't get a post soon from someone I'll post again to give more space between previous posts.

Edit: Unless you are waiting for a specific reply, you are clear to post.

Posted. I'm assuming here that Carver's ability to sense other mythical creatures has been pretty severely blunted by how completely he's forgotten his own nature - he'll probably start wising up as he goes along.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Oxenfree Up to you how you play it out, some will retain better than others. Amalthea for example doesn't recognize much of any currently because she is alone and has been in seclusion for the most part over the last year. All she has is the nightmares that plague her but she can't make anything of them. She has a hard time even remembering her human name at this point.

Okay so after the advice on my intro post thought I'd give this a shot, my character is as follows.

Name: Amon
Race: Human
Appearance
Proffesion: Court Scholar and Mage
Possessions: A number of ancient tomes, scrying glass, quill and ink, molter and pestle, single sword
Skills/Magic/Talents:
Master of Many Tongues: Through his service to many courts, and his long studies Amon has become fluent in many languages, and has become a good rhetorician.

Biomancer: Amon is able to use his magical talents to manipulate the biology of those around him. He can heal wounds and other ailments, enhance inherent biological traits or manifest the raw electricity of his nervous system as lightning against his opponents.

Foresighted: Amon is able to read the future to a limited degree. By focussing his talents and using his scrying glass he is able to discern some elements of the immediate future. His visions are by no means obvious things, often shrouded in symbolism that will take him some time to decypher. However this is not an ability he will use lightly, the toll it takes on him is great and he is fearful of mockery and scorn if he proves wrong.

Demeanour: Amon is a quiet sort, long hours of study have left him extremely articulate, however he has not made much use of his skill with rhetoric. There are few things he enjoys more than exploration and learning being an extremely inquisitive soul. When he isn't studying he can usually be found diligently practising with his sword Mephret or practising the use of his powers (although he always does the latter in secret). Above all else though Amon is an honourable man, who values trust and loyalty before all other virtues.

History: Born the son of a merchant Amon's home was destroyed and his family enslaved when he was very young. When he was 6 he was smuggled away from his captors, but his parents were killed in the attempt.

Following this incident he went on to study at the Great Library of Maldran. Here Amon developed his skills as a scholar learning to read and write and spending much of his time in lengthy study.

At the age of 21 he left the library and came to serve the masters of many noble houses selling his skills as a scholar and interpreter. Misery struck his life once more at the age of 24 however, when his master was assassinated before his eyes. Amon attacked the assassin assailing him with a volley of lightning and almost managed to kill the attacker who narrowly escaped. Following the event he was ordered to leave the household however, for the family blamed Amon for the masters death (Amon realised they blamed his powers, and since that time has tried to keep them hidden).

Subsequently Amon has wondered the country adventuring and doing small jobs to get by, he has found himself evermore reliant upon his skills with a sword, but is hesitant to use his powers even in self defence.

@Karos You look good to go, just place him over in the CS tab now and then you are free to jump into the rp proper, ^^

[Karos]

@Lady Amalthea
How might one slot the character into CS Tab? Just copy paste I presume?

Also what's this about various rotations? You mention it in the opening rules and it's not something I've seen before.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Karos Yup, just copy and paste is all you need to do. For rotation, it is just something I do to help keep things moving at a moderate pace. When you post, currently, just wait for two more people to post before you post again. Gives a break between people's posts without having to wait for everyone to post. Since this is a character driven rp this allows faster and more frequent posters to stay entertained and slower posters time to respond. I'll change up the rotation as needed to keep the story moving forward.

[Karos]

The wait is killing me, the characters thus far have all proven to be so interesting, even from so little!

[Lady Absinthia]

@Karos lol Welcome to our world, the wait is always the hardest part.

[Karos]

@Lady Amalthea I am suddenly seeing why you said slice of madness earlier!

[Lady Absinthia]

@Karos Yup, this cam drive you crazy. I am already working on a layout to Gm a second Rp while I await posts. And that is the vicious cycle. You wait for posts, so you join more Rp, then wait, so join more. Soon you are so overwhelmed you have too many to post for. Then they die and you are right back waiting. And it starts all over again.

[Karos]

@Lady Amalthea Is there no mechanism by which one can keep an RP relatively fast and active then? More like a face to face table top RP in regards to pace?

[dreamingflowers]

Then patience is the key ^.^
I like all the new characters who've joined us! It's beginning to look like a great cast.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Karos 1x1 with an active partner is usually the best way if you are looking for fast paced with still having more detail than Free.

[Karos]

@Lady Amalthea Hmm 'spose that would do it, don't think I'm quite prepared for that. Besides whilst I'm used to things with a bit of a faster pace, things are always more interesting with more characters. If waiting more is the price one pays then I guess that's a price I can pay.
