[Prodigal Son]

I wasn't satisfied with my post, so I added on to it.

[Ghost Queen]

Sorry with my lack of posting, I've been a little on the uh....busier side of things lately. I'll work on something sometime today.

[Prodigal Son]

No rush, I have to go one by one with Felix encounters. So you have lots of time

[dndragons]

There we go. I was debating having her agree right away or not then thought of the need for you to be able to get to others. So the happy medium is saying she will go to check it out for now.

[dndragons]

@Prodigal Son
I'll try posting later tonight after getting some work done. Likely I'll just have her head to headquarters to not need a third person posting while recruiting.

[dndragons]

Alrighty, got that post up.

[Prodigal Son]

@ShiningSector I know that your character is in a warehouse, but I am not quite sure where that warehouse is. So where is your character exactly?

@Prodigal Son

Yeah you know what - I just read my post and didn't state exactly where my guy was. My bad on that one. Lemme go ahead and modify my post a bit more; I've been making some adjustments to it already but that part somehow made it past my corrections.

That is of course if you also don't mind a follow up post on my into too. If so, I should have that error taken care of so you can post.

[Prodigal Son]

Yeah, you're the next one on the list so Felix will be visiting you next and I will post tonight.

[ShiningSector]

@Prodigal Son Sorry for the hold up. I've provided the location for you to work with. I'm still editing of course to add in some extra details.

Since in your character sheet you did not offer much in the way of aesthetic explanation. I winged it and said your character had, "dark hair." If he doesn't, that could just be the effect of the soot from the explosion.

[Ghost Queen]

All right, got the intro post done. I think I'm going to edit John a bit, add more stuff and get some context on The Adversary.

@Prodigal Son

Nah, I imagined him having black hair, though now that I look at the example image again, it is pretty devoid of much detail. I'll go ahead and get that dealt with.

[Ghost Queen]

Argh! I lost all the progress on the edit, that's about two hours down the drain. Aw well, I can finish it tomorrow.

@Ghost Queen

I hate it when that happens too. Bugs the hell out of me. If it helps, I've usually been either copying my posts first before submitting them and typing out responses on a separate document to ensure nothing like that happens.

@Prodigal Son I already have a post thought up but I won't be posting until much later; my work schedule pushes me into the late evening so I apologize again for any delay.

[dndragons]

I likely won't post tonight due to school work. I'll do my best to get it done tomorrow.

@Prodigal Son Question; do most of the factions and societies here have any honorifics? Aside from the titles and ranks that are listed, I am mainly curious, especially in Felix's case as an example, how he would be addressed out of respect from anyone of lesser or equal stature? Father and pastor quickly came to mind but I very much doubt those would even add up to Felix's position and calling him Arch-Magi and then first or last name following afterwards kinda sounds weird to me.

This is is mostly out of an idea I had originally for my latest post and was unsure how to go about it.

Artos Bane

Sex: Male
Age: 35

Appearance: Artos stands tall at 6feet, with a muscular physique and and ice blue eyes. Upon his back from right shoulder to left hip is a bright blue scar that has never healed properly in the arctic winds, a reminder of what arrogance can cost someone. Upon his left hand is a plated glove connecting to a heavy piece of solid iron circling his wrist used to deflect an enemies attack and open up a riposte. The rest of his equipment is very lightly armored to allow maximum movement. Three flasks on his back hip store the crystal clear water he purifies personally and uses on his blade when no other sources of water are useable.
Artos' skin is a pale blue, the same as his fathers, with snowy short cut white hair.

Abilities

Brief summary of abilities
Flowing water - A steam of water flows from his blades when in use and splash along anything his weapon touches, getting his opponents thoroughly soaked.
Sub-zero - As the name implies he creates a pocket of intense cold, freezing anything in the zone of control solid. Those doused in his waters are often left in a coffin of ice.
Frozen blade - A variation on flowing water, a thin coat of sub zero water freezes along the blade making it a blunt/piercing style that often forces parts of the body hit to become completely numb. With a bit more control he can force the water to shape outwards and expand on the blades length to provide extra reach.
Soothing calm - Restorative magic channeled through his pure waters creates a slow regenerative effect.

Backstory

Far to the north there is a realm obscured by endless winter inhabited by warriors who fear not the fangs of deaths icy touch. It is here Artos was trained in the harnessing of this merciless form of combat under the tutelage of his father Archibald Bane, trained to kill any who would see his homeland invaded by the outside. Taught to hate with the same unforgiving manner their homeland would take them with. His father had trained until his body had turned an icy blue, so infused with the frozen magic that permeated his home, and developed a style all of his own using thawed ice found deep within a mountain of colossul ice. The water was pure and flowed to the tune of Archibalds magic like a puppet, taking whatever form he desired, freezing and returning to liquid with a thought, and enhancing his own natural affinity in the process.

This style of combat was passed down in full to his son who adapted to the merciless weather and training without complaint, mastering the magic at an alarming rate. By the age of 20 Artos had perfected every technique his father had developed over a lifetime of study and dedication. To the next challenge Artos claimed true mastery and further improved upon the style. A weapon forged just for his own hands was commissioned, a set of twin double edged longswords, blessed by his father and forged by a master smith, became extensions of his very being. Years down the road he would reforge the handles of these blades, making them much longer and allowing both to connect at the base of the hilt with its sister weapon. With this versatile arsenal it was without question that Artos had become a legend to his nameless home. Rather than seek the life of protecting his home and rearing a family of his own the lad set out to explore life beyond the chill winds and familiar scenary. Now he is a wandering blade master in seek of challenge.

Personality

Artos is a loyal and honest swordsman with strong loyalty to whomever has earned his services, believing in the ultimate concept of right and wrong, and adaptable to any situation. Artos displays little emotion in battle beyond the need to prove to himself that his mastery over blade and magic is superior, not to his opponents or his master, but to his father. Despite the serious nature of his being, Artos is still a pleasant and friendly person to be around when the fighting is over.

@ShiningSector

I hadn't thought of that. None come to mind, save just Arch-Mage Felix. If you would like, you could pitch me some of your ideas and we can add them retroactively.

[Zelosse]

@Prodigal Son you uh.. Never mentioned if my cs was goin in the right direction or not. Lookin' for some guidance. Thanks chief
