The Lost Lands of Ialdia: A paired high fantasy RP

Chezka and I are to the point where we're going to Shi-Rah and think it will make more sense (and awesome) if we do it with whoever else also is. Is anyone up for that?

And, as neither of us are really familiar with him, I prefer Dext to play him out, regardless (meaning you join in in our t-pad for a moment if no one else wants to do a mass-collab).

Okay, I can't get the image here right now and there are a few things missing. Some of them, I think I'm going to need to actually play the character a little before I can actually really get into him.
I'm also reposting it so you don't have to look for it. Does this work for the moment, Dext?

Paired character: Yvaine (Chezka's Character)

Connection with paired character: Childhood friends, saved her life, pseudo-hired guard. Luch, pressured by time and his pursuers, eventually agreed to travel to 'let' Yvaine go with him to Ialdia. As per her upbringing and his martial ability, this often means him defending her from danger, though.
While it is not fully apparent to Yvaine, their relationship is actually rather strange and somewhat one-sided. Whereas Yvaine idolized Luch since childhood, let alone after having saved her now, his vehement disdain for nobility as a whole puts him somewhat at odds with her, and snide comments from her about her background aren't unknown. In fact, it is only because of the glimmer of authenticity in her that he does not write her off completely as an idiot tyrant. Simultaneously, thoughts of politics haunt him-of twisting her into a political pawn in order to further his anarchistic aims. As he generally dislikes such manipulation, though, he is torn on this.

History: Luch was born and raised largely in Khloris, 'The City of Flowers'. He is from relative poverty and spent as much of his days outside the city in the fields and forest as in it; in neither place did he ever feel at home, though.
That said, he was far from unacquainted with the streets, and his tendency to stick by his word and what he thought was right, rather than being loyal to friends whether right or wrong, put him frequently at odds with the other children-often violently. While this won him few, if any, genuine friends, he was, at least, respected for his honesty-and for raw talent when it came to combat.
Among his few friends was Yvaine-ironically enough, the heir of the lord of the city. Something of both a defender and a teacher, he both took her side when the others would attack her based on her position of birth and tear her arguments apart when she tried to abuse it. In the fullness of it, it is perhaps that he respected and saw her, yet not her position, that lead to her following him around like a loving puppy.
When adolescence came, childhood adventures became more serious and dangerous, and Luch's sense of not belonging only grew. He began wandering further and further away from the city, and his skirmishes with children were replaced by encounters with beasts and bandits. Over time, his skills in combat grew from meager fights into genuine martial skill. And every time, while travelling, his aching urge to leave, to move and discover only grew. And when a merchant caravan offered to hire him on as an armed escort, he took it.
Years passed with Luch travelling and exploring, honing his technique with a sword and learning magic. Over time, he became more and more disgusted with the distinction of class in the society and grew to be ever more anarchisitc. Eventually, he began associating with anarchist groups and interfering with armies and guards, going to far as to be a famous vigilante at one point.
Then, one night amid a city-wide conflict between the group and the guard, he fled, a strange aura that caused fluctuations in magic emanating from him as he cringed in pain. While he has apparently been constantly on the move since, the glowing aura has plagued him since and has made it impossible to not be spotted and leave a trail to follow. His pursuers eventually set up an ambush for him when, after having his identity betrayed by a captured member of his group, it was determined that he was heading back to Khloris.
Just outside the city and with his pursuers close, Luch, while hiding, came across a girl about to be raped by guards. He interfered and slew all of them. Much to his chagrin, the maiden turned out to be Yvaine, who was apparently fleeing from home-who had, in fact, been tracking him down. Out of time, he fled with Yvaine onto a boat-one setting sail for the lost lands of Ialdia.

Chezka and I are almost finished. Rest assured, we have been working on it, and not even slowly.

Ch1: Genesis Game: The Beginning of the and

Aw, yours was among the most interesting PCs I've seen in an rp in a long time.

Ch1: Genesis Game: The Beginning of the and

I'm still here, though I prefer to not be the next person to post as well. ._.

The Lost Lands of Ialdia: A paired high fantasy RP

Yeah, I'm partnerless as well.

And looking at your ideas, both work great for me; mine's a young human or half-human-half-elf swordsman who uses evocation magic like a second weapon alongside his sword. It's time for me to get for today, so I'll pm you tomorrow, Chezka.

... that will cause problems. My pc has an absolute distaste for any kind of compulsion magic-influencing/controlling other's thoughts, decisions and/or emotions. As in like a paladin being asked to work with a necromancer demon bad. The only way that could work is as enemies, and... really, that means both of our characters will be alienated and working with a lot less interaction. I don't see that working well.

The Lost Lands of Ialdia: A paired high fantasy RP

Ah. Well that sucks; details like that are generally the best ways to draw me in.

Also, if that's the case, you should probably rewrite your OP as it sounds way more sandboxy than what your last post implies it will actually be-and sandboxes tend to have exploration and tiny details like those that you just said aren't a major focus as one of if not the major focus/foci.

So let's make this a little more convenient and organized; who here does not have a partner for their character yet? Please summarize their concept again so we don't all have to go searching through multiple pages of the thread.

My character is a human or half-human, half-elf spellsword who uses blasts of magic (fire, lightning, etc) more as an off-hand weapon rather than generic sorcery.
