House of the Rising Sun?

My history kinda sucks.

@LordZell

What matters is the story which you produce.

From Stardust, to Stardust: Tales of Andromeda, a Sci-Fi Fantasy RP

For what reason would Duck pretend to be Zadubadabu (who has a delightfully whimsical name, by the way)?

@Samebito

It's a long story. Basically, because of a convo I had with Duck over Steam, I started to get more and more wary of him. When the Roa'marri came up, I was like "ERMAHGERD TEH NAEM" (Which is admittedly a terrible accusation to begin with, but I was pretty mad due to other circumstances at that point). Being the paranoid bastard I am, I started scrutinizing everything, and the magic-giving was a giant source of "Ermahgerd altz Duck wud totallyzz do dat". In hindsight, Duck really wouldn't make alts for personal advantage. That is NOT his style. Apologies for being all paranoid, I was under a lot of stress recently, and stress always clouds judgement. Especially with me, I can go somewhat insane under stress. In other news, Zabudabu does have a great name. Reminds me of that show I watched a billion years ago, the one with the lemur. (Thank god that giant blob of replies stopped, that was horrible)

@Keyguyperson

Fun fact, the United New Roa'marii Empire is a modified version of an empire I made with a friend of mine. That empire was called the United Empire of New Rome. I laughed quite a bit when I saw Duck post his New Roman Empire. As well as noticing a surprising amount of similarities between Duck's Romans and mine. Edit: I could still be an alt of Duck's we could all be alts of Duck. Even you Keyguyperson.

@Zadubadabu

BUM BUM BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM. WE'RE ALL ALTS. ALL OF US. WE'RE ALL JUST DUCK.

@Keyguyperson

My god, I think you're right. I never even realized I was Duck before.

@Durandal

Maybe 're all actually different figments of duck's mind, and Duck himself is the controller of our world... THE MATRIX

@WilsonTurner

What if Duck is God, and we're all only alts in technicality because HE IS SUBCONSCIOUSLY CONTROLLING US?!?

@Keyguy, I've been meaning to post for a while now, but when I was writing it up my computer crashed and I lost my post. I haven't found the time to rewrite it. I'll get it up soon though. Hopefully.

@Zadubadabu

By the way did I ever mention Keyguy accused me of being you?

@duck55223

Well, you're both online at the same time now, so I guess that accusation is gone. Which is good. I was scared for a bit there.

@Keyguyperson

I could be a Rogue skype account on my tablet, and Willy skype account on my computer, and a Duck account on my laptop. For all you know, I'm all three- but I was on on all three, and everyone might assume that, oh, it's not one person. Trust is really all we have.

@WilsonTurner

Very true. But we have to remember that Duck DOES have a younger brother, and those of you who have ever been to a house with a younger brother in it knows what that's like. Basically, I'm willing to ignore all the possibilities because I happen to like a good story, and me testing people constantly makes for a terrible story.

@Keyguyperson

I'm the youngest brother. I use airhorns and silly string on my brothers when they come home, and then beat them with rubber swords.

@WilsonTurner

That's how it works, all right. Lucky me, I'm an only child. EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand the giant reply blob is already back.

@Keyguyperson

Is it? I never noticed. Oh! There it is! I still don't think it's quite as bad as

Consideribg covenant ships can actually be just a few hundred meters from the ground, they are clearly built to take gravity, at they very least they can withstand more than 4 times the gravity of Earth (Which covenant ships would have to be able to hold due to "Ti", the homeworld of the Lekgolo) and I would personally wager they could handle more. Furthermore, as demonstrated in Halo 4. A rag tag fleet of covenant ships recieving little to now maintainance in over 4 years is pulled into a forerunner planet by a gravity well and yet many ships survive and are fully operational to the best of our knowledge. Also, such a stratergy would be impractical; The power requirement would be too immense and the generator would likely end up damaging its self (Remember that the gravity would work on the boosters, shield generators, presumably the shields, the power cells etc,attached to the device, and if it is powerful enough to crush fleets its powerful enough to implode...

@darkwolf687

Stop ruining my ideas with your logic IT'S SCIENCE FICTION ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE /me falls into the sky

@WilsonTurner

It's Science Fiction Fantasy, even the impossible is possible. Including making the possible impossible through making the impossible possible because WE HAVE MAGIC AND NANOBOTS. MAGIC. AND NANOBOTS. NOTHING CAN STOP US.

@Keyguyperson

And that superduper rare thing that Duck found on one of your core planets from several hundred lightyears away! Dude, you should just mine it before he can get to it, and cart if off as they take the planet :D

@WilsonTurner

Pfft. The Abh are gonna be all like "Oh look they used that glowy blue stuff to build death robots, let's look for that on all of our planet. Oh look our homeworld is made out of it thus explaining it's gravity/size ratio how convenient. Let's make an army of death robots so we can actually invade planets without losing our entire armed forces." Then this roleplay becomes a mecha anime because two nations decided "The only way to invade planets is with giant death robots".

@Keyguyperson

Numero uno problem: The Draconians have antimatter missiles. "OP DEATH BOT SIGHTED!" "LOCKING ON!" *death bot is turned into stardust*

@WilsonTurner

TITLE DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP Then again, antimatter weapons against death bots in atmosphere doesn't strike me as the best idea. Regular missiles? Sure. Antimatter ones? Continents generally like to exist.

Anyone know this 'series'?

@WilsonTurner

The name of the series is in the lower right-hand corner of the image itself.

@ASTA

Hi there ASTA, planning to join the RP yet?

@Zadubadabu

A) You should know that ASTA probably isn't joining, unless you're not paying any attention or are feigning ignorance, and B)ASTA, you've been told repeatedly to stop posting without joining. Yes, it's right there, I realize thqt, but that's part of the fun- teasing whoever doesn't know that it's right. Congrats, you're ignoring the GM and ruining a joke.

@WilsonTurner

While I support the freedom of people to snark wherever they want, yeah, a lot of the people here really don't want you to stay apparently (I mean, Duck just hates you, but some people surely have legit opinions). Coming from someone who has respect for you, please stop posting here unless you have something nice to say that isn't also an attack. Still technically against the rules, but as you might have noticed, Duck and I aren't fully cooperating. Especially with *COUGH* some things *COUGH* existing in general. Oh yeah, by the way Zab, is there any news on how long until you get your next post out? Don't want to pressure you, it's just that this arc has a lot of potential.

@Keyguyperson

Why are Duck's thoughts considered non-legitimate?

@Samebito

I never said Duck's thoughts were non-legitimate. I said that "I hate you shut up" is not a valid reason for "banning" someone. I very much hope that he had other reasons, but honestly, I feel like the only reason he "banned" Asta was because he was angry at him for taking those shots at him.

@Keyguyperson

Though.

@Samebito

Oh. Oh Jesus. Why would you do this? WHY? ALL HOPE IS LOST! THE BLOB IS BACK IN IT'S TRUE FORM! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

@Keyguyperson

All hail our lord and savior the reply blob. He has come again to share his blobby goodness with the world.

@Zadubadabu

All hail.

House of the Rising Sun?

Really late with the history but I've been having time issues. Hopefully I'll be able to participate later on. The end is very choppy but meh.

History

History of the von Habicht family Alexandre von Habicht Little information is known about the beginnings of the von Habicht dynasty for a variety of reasons, principle among them lack of record keeping. Despite the lack of official knowledge, various family tales have been passed down through the generations forming a series of interconnected stories that lay out the history of the von Habicht dynasty to 200 years ago. Around this time Alexandre von Habicht, known then as Alexandre Hrach, wandered around much of Europe as a knight, offering his services to whatever lord would pay at the moment for a fighting man. A very difficult life, Alexandre was of the poorest, outstripped by even some non-nobles in terms of wealth. This only results because of his keeping his armor, weapons, and horse in order to secure work. Missing the Crusades by a scant ten years, there was seemingly no means for him to make money. The story tells that, desperate, Alexandre traveled to Constantinople in hopes of finding some form of service. Stunned by the majesty of the Hagia Sophia, Alexandre immediately pledged his sword to the newly risen emperor Baldwin of Flanders in 1204 and then Theodore I Laskaris in 1208. He stayed in this service until his death in they year 1236. In between these dates he sired three children: two sons Andreas (1213) and Fabian(1216) and a daughter named Theresa (1208). Fabian died at the age of three. Andreas von Habicht It is with Andreas that the history of the von Habicht's truly begins. Losing his father at the age of eleven and his mother four years later, Andreas was left a young, family-less Austrian in a predominantly Greek land. Emperor John III Doukas Vatatzes, pitying the two younglings and feeling indebted towards them due to the services Alexandre had provided, he arranged spaces for the two in a monastery located just outside Constantinople. Moving here, Andreas took lessons with the monks while his sister learned the ways of being a nun. Becoming a pious man, Andreas could never forget the stories with which his father had regaled him of the Germanic lands. At the age of 30, leading a healthy life as a monk, he begged permission from the abbot to be given leave. The abbot, a kindly man, had taken a liking to Andreas and was hesitant to let him go. By some unexplained reason Andreas was given leave, travelling with his sister to the lands of Austria. Here he worked as a chaplain to a wealthy Burgrave until his death in 1270. Only two of his children lived to adulthood, those being Alexandre II (1240) and Lukas (1243) Hrach. Alexandre II von Habicht Despite the pressings of his father, Alexandre never felt the urge to enter the monastic life. His brother Lukas took such a path, entering a monastery at the age of six and beginning his studies. Alexandre received education from his father who, despite allowing ALexandre to stay, desired to instill piousness in him. His father, having become friends with the Burgrave and his family, secured military training for young Alexandre. Training extensively, Alexandre was knighted at the age of 22 after saving the life of the Burgrave's son during a skirmish with another local lord. Given a small village to manage, Alexandre moved here and built himself a small manor. Running the small area well, fate was not so kind to him as it was before. Disease ravaged the local area, causing Alexandre to flee with his only surviving son Alexandre (1265) to the area which would become the county of Dobersberg. Here, he once again plied his trade as a warrior, earning three villages in the north of the area which to run. Jonas von Habicht Following in the path of his father, Jonas became a warrior at a young age. As Andreas had done to Alexandre II, Alexandre II instilled a deep sense of religious duty into Jonas. He was known as one of the most pious men in the region, receiving compliments from the clergy for his knowledge and education. Upon the death of his father in 1274 due to disease, Jonas inherited the villages that had been his father's. His plans, however, were much more ambitious. Gathering levies from the villages, he left his cousin Noah, Lukas's son, in charge of the villages. He traveled to Spain at the outset of the Aragonese Crusade. Despite being little more than 19 at the start of the conflict, he displayed great tactical aptitude in battle, leading the assault which would break the city of Girona. It was at this time that Jonas would take the title von Habicht. Returning to Austria with much greater wealth, Jonas found his lands much the same as before. Using the loot, he built his household slowly and by the year 1328 had managed to gain control of a castle and a multitude of villages through a series of marriages and gifts in thanks. He died in 1318 in a hunting accident. He left two sons and a daughter unmarried: Alexandre III (1288), Sebastian (1289), and Helena (1297). Alexandre III All mentions of Alexandre III in writing, despite his recentness, were destroyed by the von Habicht family for an unknown reason. The only known information is that he died in 1344 of unknown causes. Dietricht von Habicht The son of Sebastian von Habicht, Dietricht was born in 1316. Sent to live in a monastery for the first ten years of his life as had become a custom in the von Habicht family, he returned to study under Sebastian. With the education afforded them due to spending time under the monks, many of the von Habichts were literate and versed in history and poetry as well as Scripture. Dietricht was one of the family's most fanatic believers, constantly praying and seeking guidance from God. Given control of two villages at the age of 20 by Sebastian, Dietricht displayed poor administrative skills, focusing much of his attention on religion and warfare, spying some connection between the two that he could never explain to others. Despite the lack of skills to begin with, Dietrich became a competent administrator by the time his father died in 1359. Ascending as the head of the von Habicht family, Dietrich pursued reforms which would place increased value in religion and warfare. By the time Otto IV was named Duke of Manburg, Dietrich had built a sizable military force filled with religious fervor. Fighting alongside Otto IV, he was awarded the county of Dobersberg for the military service provided. He died in 1388. He left only one heir, Konstantin von Habicht (1350) Konstantin von Habicht The current ruler of the von Habicht dynasty. Has two sons, Konstanin II (1370) and Dominik (1370), and a daughter Isabel (1374)
