No, no. I'm here. Just pretty jet lagged at the moment. I'll be getting on this in about 12 hours when i've had my chance to sleep it off.
EDIT: Fuck it, i'll sleep it off later. Reading up on the new stuff now. That's a hella mighty CS there, Gourmet.
EDIIT: All characters have been added to the OP and have stats assigned and weapons properly integrated into the system. If you have any weapons left to add onto your CS, do so at your leisure and let me know when they are updated so I can put all the data in.
Oh, and just to confirm, Gourmet. The Hellkid is a mini gun, yes?

Even so, I go away in essentially three days. It'll be good to see all the characters ready to go by the time I get back, but due to these unforeseen delays we probably won't have time to play through a mission at this stage :/
Though come the 11th of August, all hell will break loose; especially if you guys are still kicking. It'll be cool.

I had certainly hoped to be up Gourmet's characters by this point, one or both. Still, I guess circumstances can't be helped. A progress report would be nice though.

Survival is a basic instinct in general :)
UreReode leapt from the saddleback of his flying beast. The party had to land for the night as a storm gathered in the air. The clouds had grown and darkened, they became thick. They tossed and turned with a restlessness and unease that he had never before seen.
The Great Cycle knew that the Humans disturbed the world, and it cried in retaliation. Not that Dacyira had any hope of fighting back against these beasts from above, relying only on itself.
He had left the Great Cavern with haste, darting between the shadows of something above. Something that flew higher than the boldest bird and roared with the force of a thousand blasts of thunder. Of course, it was beyond natural, and the sorcerous Humans took the opportunity to curse his people further. They evoked blood to seep into the air; his people choked and burned, their eyes failing and their breaths becoming heavy under the weight of the foul magic... But there was nothing UreReode could do. Nothing at all. He rode away from the horror like some sort of coward and he cursed himself for it. From that night onward, he felt himself slip further and further from his cause. Balance became less important. Revenge became the priority.
But this night he had little time to consider his thoughts of perverse justice. The sky growled and roared, rain fell in the wake of haywire strikes of lightning that pummelled the land and forest. UreReode had called for his assembled retinue to construct a temporary shelter from splintered wood and leaves; material that had fallen to the undergrowth under the force of the storm. They huddled for the next hour, exchanging few words and fewer glances. The only thing that broke the paradoxical silence that the storm had conjured was the occasional haunting ancestral song. UreReode tried to lead the melodies, but each time he made an attempt the song would fade into the night. In some ways, just like the Dacyirii.
But the rain was more persistent then they were. Their spirits dampened and broken. The five Dacyirii warriors who had lost everything could not find it within themselves to sing glory of times past.
This storm... was not of Dacyira. The world never experienced throes of this calibre. It was as if the disturbance came from above the thick blanket of grey and black. As if things stirred above, high into the great blue sky where the world was pure and clear. It was as if the domain of the Humans experienced unrest and strife, struggle and pain just like the Dacyirii did. UreReode stood as if to bring himself closer to the sky so that he would better perceive the anomalies, slanting his saurian eyes to a focused squint. He tried to make out strange shapes casting dark shadows above the cloud cover; they moved in ways that nothing natural should.
"What in the name of the Cycle..." he exclaimed.
There was a thunderous explosion, and the clouds scattered immediately under the force. They left behind trails of burning gas that illuminated the sky in incredible, ethereal ways. If it was not a sign of the Humans, then it would have been beautiful. The four other Dacyirii jumped to their feet, instinctively unsheathing their assorted weapons as they went.
"What is happening!" one warrior screamed as the entire group's flying mounts took to the skies and scattered with as much ease as the clouds.
"What the fuck! No!" Another cried at the loss of their tamed creatures, his voice struggling to pierce the sudden cacophony.
"No! No no no no!" UreReode screamed, falling to his knees with reckless abandon. The others turned to see what he saw, and each reacted in kind. They saw not just one tear in the clouds, but hundreds, looming across the entire sky. Each tear burned with brilliant light that seemed to rival the suns themselves. But from each gaping maw that consumed the sky in fire descended a streak of flame, proceeded only by more trails of blazing inferno. A firestorm fell from the heavens.
"YOU CANNOT BRING DOWN THE SKY! WHY WOULD YOU RUIN THE WORLD WITH A RAIN OF FIRE?" UreReode called once more. He knew it was futile, but he tried anyway. Humans were not creatures of reason.
How are they allowed to do this? was the question he posed to his retinue as a trail of fire hurtled towards them, striking the forest with the force of a meteor and engulfing the Dacyirii in hellfire.

When we get Gourmet's character(s) ideally. I don't want to leave too much time between brief and start because prolonged anticipation has a way of dulling things.
Splendidly! Any news from Gourmet?
Sounds good to me. I'll start to build the mission details.
Alrighty, pals! Some things to mention!
Big big reforms to the OP. Looks nicer now; targets have been updated and reorganised, everything in general is organised better now. Also note that i'm integrating 'intermission' periods into the game. Check up on the 'Out of Combat' section in the OP for details.
Also worth mentioning that I am going to be going away for a fortnight: i'll be gone from the 29th of July to the 11th August. Regrettable, yes, but i've had this holiday planned sine the dawn of time. I doubt i'll have regular access (if any) to the internet, so i'm going to plan as if I am completely unable to get online. (Plan for the worst, right?) I will need to discuss with you guys what you wish to do about this, as I did hope we'd be up and running before now and we'd have had time to get a mission in. Would you rather wait until I return to start, or can we fit a quickie in? Want to be left to roam? Need some feedback.
EDIT: You also have infinite clones. YOL∞
