Bio


"Rage at me if you want, but I've been roleplaying on forums and MMOs since 2005."

Roleplay Preference?
:: Anime/JRPG/Fantasy/Mecha-themed stuff, I stray from slice-of-life because I find it boring. I deal with boring social interaction enough in the real world.
Demographic?
:: I'm a full-time, college graduate, weeaboo. Shit on me for not always having proper grammar, but I do typically place myself into roles that require more activity and effort. And the weeaboo factors in because, standard fantasy is only fun "sometimes".
Games I play?
:: World of Warcraft, FFXIV:ARR, Hearthsone, Bleach Brave Souls, Dragonball FighterZ, Smash Bros.
Manga I keep up with?
:: Tokyo Ghoul:re, Hunter x Hunter, Seven Deadly Sins

This will be an interest ploop until I drop a character sheet.
This seems cool, I’ll offer tentative interest.

I added a skill to Lial, give it a look when you have some time.
Lial



It had been seven o’clock in the evening. The shutting of neighborhood doors and low roar of nearby crowds of people broke the silence as Lial made his exit from the local comic shop. The temperature outside was chilly, a breeze, overcast all throughout the day, jacket weather. Which is technically what he was wearing, though the stylized design of his attire catching the interest of social folk as he lightly began to stomp home.

He had little resistance usually. Maybe avoiding the traffic of people, perhaps an accident along the way. But this time it seemed fate had other plans for the melodramatic boy. A blockade of annoying, gossiping, gawkers whom seemed to be staring at something? His sights glanced sidelong to the location of interest. Street formers, magicians to be in fact. A man in an all black suit, and another clad in white, they had style and showmanship that even Lial had to raise a lip to. But this interest would be short-lived, as our character tucked his hands into each according pocket and went on about his way. With some struggle, people don’t like being polite when they’re watching some form of entertainment.

Just a few blocks left. “Wishin’ they’d move their shop closer, s’probably falling on deaf ears.” He asked himself, the slowing pace of his steps as he finally reached the red light where he typically crossed the street. He'd let out a deep breath, a light mist exhuming as he plucked his hands from the pockets and hurry onto the black pavement. However, that same fate from earlier decided that there were new plans for Lial. Before he could blink, a speeding corvette with blaring lights sped right through the red light and-

"Welcome to Arcadia." The feminine voice chimed into his ears, the song humming and soothing the boy as his racing heart slowed. He was nearly killed after all. And now the bright light panned into the rickety riding of a ewe-drawn wagon, and surrounded by strangers. They were all relatively normal looking, he was the one who stood out- actually looked the part in the foreign environment. Soon the small bearded man was jumping off into battle versus your entry level fantasy mob "The Goblin". And then a few other members of the part followed after, one of them even started ranting off about religious nonsense. He wasn't so quick to act, hell, everyone else was jumping into action so watching from the backlines seemed like an effective method. Lial even sifted a hand into his pocket to remove a stick of gum, unwrapping the foil from the mint-green sum to plop it into his mouth.

"Goblins are weak t' fire usually, 'least that's usually how it works. Maybe not, I'm not of much use." He doted, his legs crossing and resting interlocked hands on his lap. Lial chomped happily, the green gum visibly bouncing around his pearly whites as he sidelong gleamed down towards the combat. There were so many questions though, where they were, why they were there, how they got there- they'd have to wait though, he was too bust giving moral support to the team. Raising his fists and cheering half-heartedly Lial would punctuate, loudly, carelessly. "Hold up, I'll play th' bard.. Let m' songs of support uplift ye' or some shit."
My post will be up tonight.
Al'at


Strange. Curious. I Must Know More.




Al'at absorbed the scene in, a deep exhale of oxygen releasing from his lungs as the information before him was internally reviewed. These six creatures were foreign to the Zaldean, and oh how he loved things that were foreign. While he was sure that this was no time to start speculating, the current danger was very apparent to the hungry man-boy. How would their blood taste, he wondered? His black velvet covered fingertips traced down to his right hip, lightly making their way to become a tight clasp around the soft handle of his sword. The blade was a dark-tempered metal, shaped into a crux with a ring circumventing its guard. Glee brushed over Al'at for a moment, it had been quite a good while since he'd been able to perform. It was like stretching after a long rest, hell, it was like waking up from a coma surrounded by gifts. Six of them, infact. He flashed a toothy smile and then his legs began to move.

These "Reavers" seemed to be mostly organic, their misshapen bodies a horrible twist of perhaps some aquatic lifeform and an arthropod? This was immediately to the favor of Al'at. His graceful steps brought him to a relatively untouched wooden cart. Relatively, because of an unrecognizable corpse leaned against said cart- a pool of deep crimson soaking the sand below the body. The hot sun would dry it up quickly, but the body would be a fine tank to leech from before engaging the curious little creatures. There were still a lot of people running away or engaging the invading creatures, a small band of five, likely mercenaries of some kind- were putting up most of the fight against them. Though standard bullet-fire didn't seem to do much damage. The hardened sickly blue exoskeletons being stronger than the pew-pew, but all Al'at would need is a small cut, the slightest laceration would be an open gateway to straining the lifeblood from within the Reaver. A plan needed to be devised, but he also needed to be careful- you never know who is watching. His vampiric nature becoming apparent to those around him would paint a big red target on his back, attracting undesirables to track him down and kill him if he isn't killed here.

"Maybe I am the undesirable? Hmm." He hummed in curiosity, distracting himself from the Michael Bay action scene transpiring between the mercs and the Reavers. But now was the time for action, not inner monologues.

He quickly broke from his location, powder brown shooting behind him as his leather boots kicked through sand at breakneck speed. A thin stream of blood trailing from the corpse to his sword would follow behind him, to the untrained eye it would seem to be a very subtle red glow. The blood would slowly begin to coat the edges of the blade, coagulating to extend the edge ever so slightly over time. As he reached melee range of the closest Reaver, his right hand would lash out with his blade to cut down across the creature's forebody. Futile, the armor was thick of course. But a line of the forementioned blood was painted upon the blemish of the Reaver's armor. His left hand continued to orchestrate the blood from the body near the cart- but now his target was marked, and he instead conducted the blood towards the slash on the Reaver's chest. It continued to thicken, the moist sanguine prying and burrowing deep within to create an opening for the sword to enter. Al'at dropped to a roll, then rose back to his feet and sprinted back to cover after this action- the Reaver seemed to take insult from the demonstration and turned away from his former targets aiming now at the white tailcoat of the Zaldean.

"L'thaaaaak! Zhhhshirrrtha!" The Reaver spat and gurgled in anger, firing plasma at the woodpile Al'at hid behind blowing through it forcing him to jump away from the debris. Splinters fired in every direction, and a second Reaver now aimed at the white-garbed man. Attempting to suppress Al'at they continued to fire in his direction, and he simply ducked in cover, his sword in right hand- fingertips orchestrating in the other. And after a few moments his efforts would find success.

Blood would find its way inside the lone Reaver's body, a diagonal slit of exposure revealing ooey-gooey innards beneath. The enemy however did not notice until it was too late, the foreign substance creeping its way into the soft inner body of the invader. They targeting organs of importance, hardening into razor blades and slicing their way through the creature's body. From the outside this was unknowable, the Reaver simply stopped and began to limp around in pain. Al'at leaped from his cover, a small run of blood dripping down his cheek as he took off towards the second Reaver firing on him. As he passed the one he infiltrated, it would fall face-forward to the dust below, a well of blood pooling from its chest before a small amount is lifted up in small globules and fired towards the second reaver to follow Al'at. It splattered upon the creature's face and left shoulder, but this was followed by a barrage of steel coming from the Zaldean's sword. Eight slashes would be afflicted upon the creature, two on it's head, six on the same shoulder. This Reaver however had a little more sense to it, lashing with its superior body strength towards the man with it's gun-arm knocking him away and concussing him. He was a dainty little man-boy after all. He grunted as he fell to the sand below, his sword attempting to form some friction as he slid across the sand.

He'd stop with his back against an iron crate, pale strands knocked from their neat form into his face as he huffed in a pout of exhaustion.

"Aim for the red one! It's armor will be weaker.. I'm going to find a shady corner to recuperate." He humorously announced, breathing heavily after the exclamation. Quickly he raised to his feet once again, he was tired, but something good would come of this no matter what the outcome. Blood continued to trail towards Al'at at a slow rate as he quickly staggered away from the action a block behind the mercenaries. They would be good shields, and distractions. He pulled himself into a small shaded corner, people continued to run by in fear but he was mostly hidden from sight- enough to sate himself. Red vapor slowly flowed inside his nostrils and mouth, sighs of relief were exhumed from him as new life essence entered his body- revitalizing him. He continued on for a few moments, taking his fill but not getting carried away- than turning back to peer back at the scene behind him. The mercenaries listened to him and focused their aim on the bloodstained Reaver, breaking through the weak points on its head and executing it. The leader of the mercs shouting, "Fuckin' got him!" and pushing her subordinates to move forward with a metallic black glove waving forward. The Reaver blood tasted foul, and wasn't particularly rich in life essence either. Al'at would visibly grimace as the last of the drained essence entered his body, puckering and squinting as he pressed his digits into the sand and using his sword to pry himself up once again.
