[OOC] A Tale Of Fantasy - 2 Spots Open

[Lady Absinthia]

@Karos No, this is called bunnying and is major no no in rp, you never do anything for any controlled character other than your own personal ones. So moving to a place you don't know where it is within a place, moving other people's characters there or reacting for npcs is a big issue for most. As bad as calling anothers characters action in battle or your character having knowledge of another characters past that they haven't learned in RP.

On top of that, Wally is being set up for movement to catch up. Decision remains, remove all called reactions or movements for anyone but your own character and pull back to the great hall.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Shikaru Is she a day walker?

[Karos]

@Lady Amalthea Fair enough, like I said I'm new to the systems used for this sort of thing. Give me a minute and I'll try re-write it, as far as I understand we're still standing in the hall?

Would it be possible for you to have Molly bring us to the Kitchen? Because my post won't really make sense without being there and would require a lot of revisions otherwise.

My thinking being it would be easier simply to delete it and then to add it when appropriate.

[Avanhelsing]

I will quickly have the quick fall into the great hall. I think I need to drive the point home that Wally is not all that great.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Karos @Avanhelsing Yes, in the great hall and we will remain There for at least another round of posting. You'll see why more clearly once Avanhelsing posts. So just go off what I had in my last post and stay in the great hall. You'll learn the system here pretty quick, it's just basic stuff. You can always save the kitchen scene in a pm to yourself until it comes into play.

[Karos]

@Lady Amalthea Sounds good, thanks for the explanation I'll add it the list of rules I am rapidly trying to get my head around.

[Karos]

Sorry just wanted to ask, I am allowed to post there aren't I? By removing (or at least revoking, how does one delete?) my post, I assume I satisfy the 2 turn rotation rules?

[Shikaru]

@Lady Amalthea OH. Yea. Of course. Almost forgot. I dislike vampires that cant go out in the sun and what not.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Karos Nah, can't delete, I usually just delete everything An write in void post. So your clear out made you able to post again, so you are all good now.

@Shikaru Alright, just wanted to make sure. Throw in her flaws so I can keep note if you will and you're ready to start.

[Shikaru]

@Lady Amalthea Kay, will do.

[Karos]

@Lady Amalthea Okay cheers, sorry 'bout that glad to be getting things back on track.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Karos No worries, it's a learning experience ^^ We all started off somewhere.

[Avanhelsing]

Agh to be new again. My first rp was some weird mass effect thing with a ship and a crew. That was almost four years ago. I have seen the guild reborn thrice in that time.

[dreamingflowers]

I don't have time to write today but I should be good tomorrow. I have some time scheduled for this then.

[Wade Wilson]

Aw, cmon. I've been spending ages on a CS (that isn't even done yet) and this is full? You gotta tell me you can make a space for one more character.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Wade Wilson Get me the CS tomorrow and I'll hold a spot for you.

[Wade Wilson]

@Wade Wilson Get me the CS tomorrow and I'll hold a spot for you.

@Lady Amalthea

Thanks. I'm just hoping to god I can get it in on time cos I've got to pick up a parcel. I'm working on it now.

[Wade Wilson]

Turns out I've got the CS today. I won't be able to make an IC post, however.

Name: Dune

Race: Shifter

Apparent Age: 27

Actual Age: Unknown, though he is still young.

Profession: Seasoned & Retired Dragon Hunter (Aspiring Thief)

Possessions:
- Bow & Arrow -

Description

Nicknamed 'Dusk', this well-made shortbow has been extremely well constructed of decent willow. Its string is made from exceptional boar sinew, it's a fairly rare material around these parts of the world. The limbs have been decorated with masterful paintworks and end in long points shaped like dragon heads. The handle is wrapped in rare hide and decorated with symbolic writing.

The narrow quiver is made from light leather and is supposed to be worn around the archer's back. The outer side has been decorated with silken ribbons, which seems to mean a lot to the archer.

In the hands of a trained archer this bow is capable of firing arrows up to 154 meters while still retaining lethal power. The arrows paired with it are long and sleek, and are carved with intricate patterns. They are a red colour with golden tips and silver feathers. When fired, the arrows make a soft sound whilst going through the air, almost like a whisper.

- Sword -

Description

A long, thick, straight blade made of silver is held by a grip wrapped in fairly common, navy blue goat leather.
With a single, sharp edge this weapon is the perfect choice for slicing and dicing while also offering you a way to effectively block attacks.

The blade has a broad, straight cross-guard, creating the ideal weight balance to allow for smooth and accurate swings with this blade. The cross-guard has an ornamented spider on each side, this weapon is clearly meant to be taken care of with dedication.
A fairly small pommel is decorated with gilded linings, no expense is spared for this gorgeous weapon.

The blade itself is engraved with a small, blue gem at the bottom of each side, that glints in the light when in battle. Also on both sides of the blade, the words "memento mori" are engraved above the gem.

- Shield -

Description

This reinforced sharp heater shield, made from ebonsteel, offers unyielding protection, especially against piercing attacks and slashing attacks. Not the work of a mere amateur, as this shield was forged by fury dragonkin in an ancient workshop.

The shield's edges are augmented with metal rings and have been decorated with feather-like metalwork. Its center is ornamented with painted symbols and small scrolls attached with wax.

It's clear this shield stood the tests of battle. Dents, scratches and scorchmarks made by who knows what leave mementos of beating the odds, but one this is for sure: this shield isn't done serving just yet.

- Leather Armor -

Description

A clearly used (but also polished) set of leather armor that Dune wears as a memento of his previous profession.
Appearance (ignore the creepy looking guy.)

- A Folded Flag -

Description

The flag is made up of two vertical stripes and a circle in dark brown, dark purple and dark gold. Its emblem consists of two eagle claws with a droplet on either side, joined together by a haze of fire that surrounds the circle in the centre. The emblem stands for Dune's anguish, his misfortune and his pain.

- Medium Satchel -

Description

A medium-sized satchel Dune normally wears over his shoulder. It is made of a hardened leather, and has a wolf emblem etched into it. It contains two pieces of rabbit, a small piece of venison and a small pouch made of deer hide that carries his coins.

Skills/Magic/Talents:
Shifting
Luckily, since Human form is a part of a Shifter's cycle of forms, Dune still has his Shifting abilities.

Healing
Though not as good as it once was, Dune still retains a part of his healing abilities. He can't, however, heal a severe wound or burn. He is now also vulnerable to other metals as well as gold.

Animal Instincts
Dune has exceptional hearing and a keen sense of smell, though not surprising. He is able to follow a scent trail like a wolf, also, and has above average reflexes, making him able to catch an arrow.

Demeanour: Dune is quite an independent man, though not surprising since he doesn't speak a word of English. This means he doesn't know the sense of companionship, so feels quite alienated away from his Pack. He is, however, loyal and forgiving, but not too confident around other species due to his upbringing. It is, in a way, like the relationship between man and ape.

History: Dune remembers only small segments of his memories (four years can be like a lifetime for Shifters), and even then has had to write them down in the hopes that he can grip onto the past. The main parts he can remember are pivotal moments of his life, like his first ever kill, the first time he shifted, and being trained and taught by his father. He occasionally goes back to this little journal and jots down recounts of his days, just so he can look back upon them. At one time he had to write down the abilities he had to remind himself they were there.

Extra: Dune speaks the Old Tongue, which can be found here: (will get link tomorrow).

[Lady Absinthia]

@Wade Wilson Looks good and can move to CS page. Post intro at your leisure. Oh and creepy dude is most likely in omage to the harlequin make up worn by Floki in the History TV show Vikings.

@Oxenfree Now that we have a quartet in the castle instead of a trio, feel free to post whenever since the two post between last has been met.
