[OOC] Ascension (high casual)

[InfernoBlaze]

So, apparently, I am part of the human expedition (the first part of the OP). Do I consider that the team arrived at the bar or not and, if it did, did we get there before, during or after the commotion took place??

[Rai]

@InfernoBlazeThe humans are about to go on a mile journey to the Kingdom, while the Descendants are at the bar or else where. That's 15 minutes give or take. Time is taking place in unison for all characters.

@Rai

Hopefully that was a tasteful introduction to Eden, his character and his relation with Eve.

So I've placed R'lyeh outside of Sunfire for now, he's being driven to see the King of Nero by the voices in his head.
The voices of course aren't actual voices but malevolent spirits only Seraphim can see which have been bound to the book he carries.
Although some of the voices are his own slowly maddening mind being corrupted and poisoned by the book.

[Rai]

@The Grey DustExcellent intro so far by everyone. Everything is well and good just waiting for our one human to post. I have a question, why the King of Nero? I'm working on his CS now along with King Vrondi, and the two thieves.

For human players I'll setup a HQ for the humans to stay in. So any late joining humans can be a standby person in the HQ.

[The Grey Dust]

That is the will of the bound Entities of the Book. To go to the king of Vrondi would mean he would most likely destroy them as they are rather malicious entities. The king of Nero is perhaps the most morally questionable, and has the most to gain by taking the book from R'lyeh. This would also mean reason for Tearanari to go to war with Nero if he does not return the book. But either way they could believe R'lyeh was always an Agent of Nero who was used as a pawn to acquire these treasures of the Tearanari...

Thus possibly plunging the world into war between two nations with three caught in between. All the while the Entities within the book gain power by starting this war, enough to mass an undying army for the Nero to battle engulf the world in their vision. And soon all will be under the spell of undeath, and life as we know it shall cease to be. The King of Nero becomes the new "God" and the Entities are pleased to begin the invasion of the next world, Earth, with their new Servant. Or so the plan goes, as they come from the outer realms to entice lesser beings to share their vision of the perfect world.

And if you can't tell by now, R'lyeh, and his Book is completely Lovecraftian.

[Rai]

@The Grey DustI'd say good luck with that. Your entities won't be alone in their plots to wipe out this world, and others. There are certain consequences to this. It'll all unravel. And I love me some Lovecraft lore.

So what exactly is the Niscent-Hanoxx house, because Garaten is a royal guard to Queen Allo Niscent, and he's not to fond of Hanoxx, so someone claiming both the names together in a house will probably anger him more than the Fotians themselves.

@rechonq

Niscent-Hanoxx is the Union of Queen Niscent's younger brother, with King Hanoxx's Aunt. Done to strengthen the ties between the two nations as they now have at least one common link in their royal bloodlines.

[rechonq]

Ok so that makes sense, there's still a Niscent house as well as Hanoxx house and now there is a Niscent-Hanoxx house. I can see him still being annoyed with the situation, but the queen allows what she chooses.

[Zenphilvian]

Here is my character, fit for acceptation or rejection.

Quote: "People are the worst. I'm the best example."
Name: Viola Galloway
Age: 24
Species: Human
Blood%: N/A
Gender: Female
Sex Preference: Heterosexual
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 180
Physical appearance:
Apparel: She always wears a jacket of some sort, jeans, brown lace up boots, and usually keeps her hair up. Wardrobe wise, has a preference for dark blue, brown, and dark/muted colors.
Vehicle: N/A
Personality: Fairly cynical with a dry sense of humor, Viola is skeptical, and has absolutely no loyalty. She is calm and chooses her words carefully, and lies infrequently, but tells the truth just as often.
Occupation: Mercenary/Freelancer
Faction: N/A
Pet: N/A
Adv. App.: N/A
Exp: From her time with the group (A small local mafia) she learn how to use firearms, self-defense, basic use of knives, how to move without being seen, espionage, and other similar skills.
Spells:
- Time Step- A complicated spell that allows the user to change their opponents' time, slowing them down, making her appear faster.
- Light Step- Allows the user to walk on a thin sheet of air that acts as a solid surface, making no noise or create a small breeze to aid movement.
Abilities/Powers: N/A
Hindrances: Because of her backstory, she has an issue with people leaving her, so she always leaves first, before they can. Being human is also a huge problem, along with having little to no knowledge of what is going on, since the agency told her very little, but offered a lot.
Unknown Weaknesses: Being a Starseed, with the huge risk of falling into a coma, due to the vast number of lives she's had. Along with her skepticism, she can't take good intentions at face value. Everything is give and take for her.
Weapons: Julie- an AF2011A1 pistol that Viola always keeps in her jacket.
History: Viola was born into a well-to-do family, her father a prominent businessman, mother a model, two older brothers and one younger brother. When she was 9, her family disappeared during the night. She managed to pretend nothing was wrong for two weeks until the police showed up. They started asking questions and it became clear that her father was involved in illegal dealings, made many people angry, and ran, taking the family. Why they left her behind is unclear. As a consequence, Viola was kidnapped by one of these angry groups, hoping to get her father. Time passed with no attempts of rescue, legal or otherwise. In time, the group sent her to run errands, give messages, etc. She trained with them with firearms and basic self-defense. The jobs became more dangerous, and by the time she was 16, she was getting offers from other groups and organizations. At 18, she went freelance, taking jobs from anyone that ranged from deliveries (read: smuggling), to kidnappings, etc. Viola's goal is to find her family again and just ask them why they left her behind.
When she was 19, she met a 22 year old man at a Starbuck, and 1 year later they started a romantic relationship. He is uncomfortable with what she does, but as a upcoming politician, he doesn't have much room to talk. As of the rp, they are still steady going.
Trivia:
-She loves doing the crossword, and other word games, but hides it since it an 'old person hobby'
-Her boyfriend is the one who gave her Julie

[Rai]

@ZenphilvianAdd it in!

[The Grey Dust]

Waiting on a GM post to get the ball rolling again I guess :P

[Rai]

Done. I would like if everyone kept to the same post order. But overall I don't mind. Really, if you feel the urge to post a response to mine do so. No consequences.

[The Grey Dust]

Excellent, something to respond to.
Although I think the humans can post regardless of the Descendants for now.

[Rai]

@The Grey DustUp until time goes into unison you're right. But for even Descendants it doesn't matter. All that matters is if you are posting before someone's reaction to a certain thing you're present for, or not. That's what posting order affects.

[rechonq]

I'm not going to be able to get a post out until tomorrow so, if anyone wanted to post tonight before me then that's fine.

@Rai Also Garaten isn't in armor right now, but I have been wondering what to make him look like under the armour, so I think I'll do rock skin that could look like armor at first glance. I'll go ahead and add that to his profile as well.

[The Grey Dust]

@Rai

Working on the Eden and Eve post, so far it's turning out nicely. Eden's certainly winning the popularity contest. Although isn't the catch if Eden does accept, he'd probably get his ass handed to him, but he can shrug it off and just say he was going easy because of his activities last night... Or technically I could have Eve remind the solider the consequences of not letting it go/Eden win, while yes he could show up Eden, he still has no right to the challenge him in the first place, and disciplinary actions would occur despite the loss.

Oh and the Voices in R'lyeh's head can see the thing that's trying to speak to him. They are spirits which shadow him, if I could get some description of what exactly is talking with him and if they can see it/it can see them.

[Rai]

@The Grey DustIt's up to you how you respond. With R'lyeh I'll add a description. Done.

[The Grey Dust]

@Rai Will the fight be scripted one way or another?

[Rai]

@The Grey DustNope. But I doubt the fight will be finished before more events unfold if it does happen traditionally.
