Either/both Darren and/or Emmet work for me, so whoever's available soonest, I suppose.
So, setting aside the absent Icthys, Lucien is the only other pc in Loom? Here I thought I was completely alone. And Emmet is coming? Were he to run across Nen, I imagine he'll be willing to help in that endeavor (finding his kidnapped sister). On the other hand, what is Lucien up to?
Okay, I was afk all day today. What players are in what cities? I prefer to know where Nen is going to end up heading before I post (and as I'm moving to get involved with other players...).
While I haven't played any of the games, I am interested in them (at least I saw the second movie... >_>), and several of your posts elsewhere on the site have intrigued me. I'm interested, though not necessarily committing yet.
Here's one. This is worse, though I question those numbers. Still, the point stands.
No, there are literally plenty of people who literally actively work (and publicly advocate) the US becoming-officially-a Christian state. And, as for that comment-what? Atheism is by definition actively believing there are no divine entities; how does someone who thinks religion is entirely false want there to be a union of Church and State?
Really, spend ten minutes googling it. There's enough religious zealism in the US that some people actually want that.

My experience with it has been that is not generally (if ever) quite so sensory or material as fantasy often portrays such things to be-that is, that 'magic' is a lot more subtle or ethereal than people make it out to be.
I do point out the use of the word 'supernatural', though. I think there's no such thing as that, 'super', Latin for 'above', and natural, meaning 'above/superceding nature'. Magic and miracles, in my experience and view, is entirely natural-it deals with elements that aren't entirely physical though, such as the concept of aether and spirits.
Myself, I have thus far inane and unhelpful prophetic dreams months ahead of events. I'm extremely empathic and am more than usually sensitive to not-entirely-physical beings-that which are called angels, ghost and/or the Fair Folk. Aside from intuition, though, I haven't done much (that I'm aware of) nor have learned any 'techniques' or anything like that, though I haven't actually spent time seeking that out, either.

So Boerd said
We could always make this a discussion of sonething controversial. For example, the Arabs had stolen Judea from the Christians. In effect, they started the religious wars and the Christians were retaliating. Why do we not equally vilify the conquests of the Rashidun or the subsequent caliphates?
You just said the Middle-Easterners stole Middle Eastern lands from European invaders-though they actually did take form Middle Eastern Christians as well. And many of the Christians from the Jews. And many of the Jews from other Jews, who took from the Canaanites... how far back to you want to go with this?
On the OP matter-a LOT of people in the US actively seek out a conjunction of Church and State (so long as it is their denomination). Myself, my stance on government is anarchistic, anyways.
Has Icthys been active at all for the last, what, two weeks? Should I just go ahead and work on getting Nen to a different city to find other-player interaction?
Username:
Arawn (of the Shadowlight). He is not a prominent member by any regards yet, and thus doesn't really have a title yet. When asked about it, Arawn 'of the Shadowlight' is what he usually gives, though.
Name:
Nen Lloyd
PC Appearance: (I will add a picture soon)Arawn is slightly short, thinly built, with medium/pale skin with a olive/yellow undertone. Bangs drop into his face just short of the tip of his nose from the part above his right eye, leaving his ears uncovered and going halfway down his neck in a mixture of dark brown and pale gold. Barely-present stubble dots his face.
Arawn himself has no set wave marks, though the Twilight Dragon's Wave Fragment head item he often wears makes it appear he does.
Appearance:
Nen's PC, Arawn, is actually styled after Nen himself; short of stature. thinly built and similar hairstyles. Nen dresses primarily in t-shirts with pants or jeans, often with black jacket and/or hoodie, occasionally with a long red scarf.
Age:
22. Arawn is styled to invoke a similar age.
PC Persona:
Arawn is kind and sincere player-and very, very conflicted. Lacking any clear goals, he tends to vacillate between different playstyles and objectives, though his general approach to the game and other players remains largely the same-curious, respectful and nearly always preferring to play alongside-or competing with-others, rather than playing on his own.
Arawn does not yet have any real friends in The World, having spent most of his time focusing on 'catching up' to the higher levels, planning to get involved with the various communities-player-versus-player, dungeon groups, guilds and roleplaying groups once he's opened up more of the game for himself by leveling. This, though, has lead him to have a comparatively empty and lonely experience for most of the game thus far, and he is not well known by any means. Arawn works diligently to be respectful, though, and always seeks to play in groups in preference to alone, and is reasonable, diligent and respectful as a player. The player's issues regarding his self-worth tend to bleed through (if not completely stain his character), which is reflected in his indecisiveness, which can sometimes seem like fickleness.
Personality:
Nen, in truth, largely plays as himself The World, just minus a few inhibitors. In the real world, he is even more conflicted and obsessive about things, leading to him often not accomplishing much-irresponsible, in other words. He is empathic to problematic levels, friendly-though usually so quiet that people think exactly the opposite-, and quite spiritual, though not religious.
Nen has strong, far from ordinary viewpoints that further from people; anarchist, pacifist, vegan, and that's not to mention his metaphysical viewpoints. He feels things very deeply, and his lightning intelligence combined-with the added element of his self-loathing-create for constant self-doubt and review. As a result, though, his views are often extremely well-thought-out.
Nen has a profound lack of love for himself stemming from a powerful, buried malicious aspect of himself-a genuinely psychotic level of hate from seemingly nowhere, albeit that no one save him is aware of. As a result, he views himself a contained monster that can't act out its true nature, and his self-respect suffers for it.
Aside from The World, Nen enjoys several other video games and history and mythology. For the time being, the only thing he is involved in besides a job is a few online activities, most especially The World as of late.
Classes:
Blade Brandier/Curse Knight-'Curse Brandier'
Armaments of Choice:
Faceless Mask-A white mask lacking any features except two eyeholes and a small triangle under the nostrils. While it has no effect, players say the appearance can be utterly terrifying in an ambush in the dark-when using a headset, at least.
Tattered Hadesson Cloak-An extremely rare long, utterly black hooded cloak with strange concave curves and rising spikes of tattered cloth at the hem. It provides weak, generalized defenses aside from a good defense from Darkness attacks. By constantly expending sp, while in regions with a strong Darkness elemental affinity, he can turn into a black mist or even invisible in specific areas, granting both a tactical advantage and increasing the numerical likelihood of attacks to miss slightly. The rate at which this ability costs SP is extremely high, though.
Ragged Witchcraft Gloves-A plain-looking pair of raggedy, fingerless black cloth gloves. They
Weapons of Choice:
Ruined Underworld Sword-Another extremely rare item. Pitted, notched and ragged, it is a cruciform sword with a thin blade of dark silver color, a long, thin handle with thorny guard and a single spike emitting from the pommel. It deals darkness damage and has Life Drain and inflicts a Darkness-damage-dealing poison debuff.
Ruined Underworld Mirror-A shield from the same item family as the Ruined Underworld Sword and comparably rare. It boasts extremely high resistance to both Light and Darkness element attacks and actually reflects a small amount of damage from those types back on the attacker.
Olympus Event Upgrade:
??? Twilight Dragon Wave Fragment-facial wave-markings that include lines under his eyes with a spike curving inward from the outside edges and a ring on his third eye, and similar markings on the back of his hands and feet; the designs seem to invoke both Light and Darkness wave types. They grant an apparently unique ability named 'Twilight Breath'. Exactly what this does he has not fully ascertained; it does seem to affect the amount-or even type-of damage he deals, enveloping him in a pale white-ish fire-like aura.
This item is seemingly unique. Arawn acquired it after clearing the Outbreak of Olympus Event-and seems to be the only player to do so. No other player forum goer or even moderator knows anything about it or its effects, indicating just how rare it is-assuming it isn't actually a one-of-a-kind drop. Arawn assumes that the ??? means it is incomplete somehow and that he'll need to continue in the Olympus Events to 'complete' it.
