Bio

I'm Randomness. I also go by others names when it's unavailable, but those are usually some variation of Randomness or Random in general.

I like anime, video games, and science. I'm currently in school studying to become an radiologic technologist. I'm in the initial stages, so I'm on my way. My favorite anime is Eureka Seven, and my favorite video game is a tie between Kingdom Hearts and Etrian Odyssey.

I have several story ideas, but currently lack motivation to write them out. I have plenty of notes for some of them so when I finally get around I'm prepared. That said, I absolutely enjoy group story telling like you do through role playing. One of my interests involved is world building and the connections between them if any.

One of my characters travels between worlds, dimensions and universes. What these are meant to be are different RPs. There seems to be some taboo around such a character, but I feel that is should be judged on a case by case basis. The idea of a seasoned character who has been on many adventures being able to share stories in passing sounds like a fun idea. I thought it would be an interesting idea that those stories could be from other RPs. He isn't meant to highjack the current RP, or be over powered. I admit, I can see that concern. Really though, he is meant to be an eccentric character with stories and treasures not before seen. The effects of these stories are meant to be entertaining, like fairy tales to the current cast. And what treasures he has or can use I'd restrict to what makes sense in the current world. But like I said before, it should be case by case. A learner, and a story teller. I think it's fun to link concept together through this character so the story could live on in new ways and perhaps give new RPs a different kind of character. Without upending everything of course.

How much is one expected to write in a single post? Seems verbose


Usually one paragraph is enough. Sometimes less if you get into a back and forth conversation with another player. The current IC might appear intimidating, but no one is expecting short stories per post.

I'd say feel free to submit a character for review. I also recommend joining the discord. It can make discussions easier. If at least to ask some questions and get answers.
My tried and true character. Not much has changed.



The other character. The ‘just in case’ character.

@Pakde unless we need a front liner, I think I will reuse my character.
You have my interest to continue this tale.

Solomon stood near perfectly still during the meeting with the king. Solomon knew that by no means were the motions set by the various players of the looming war would halt after the rescue of the king’s son. However, just as he suspected back at Hdur with his conversation with Baker that Solomon’s involvement was not over. At least, the request for Solomon’s favor had not ended. Solomon still questioned the king’s reason, though. He assumed after what happened in Fanghorn, he’d want to attempt to form another special team for the more backdoor operations. With the prince now secure, was there necessity to keeping such a collection of unusual if otherwise specialized under his employ?

No matter, the king did offer to appoint the original team to his court publicly at the banquet. It would be expected that the reinforcement to the prince’s escort and the contractors who took down the Black serpent guild to continue working towards the war effort. An effort sought to not be relevant. Solomon did appreciate the opportunity to decline, An opportunity that Cedar took advantage of. As for Solomon, he didn’t answer just yet.

When Cedar finished speaking, the room was eerily quiet. It was as though few had any comment or even commitment to the king’s request. Solomon took a step forward. By doing so he was more in line with everyone else.

“If I may ask. Why would you task us with this new mission? What do we offer now that your own cannot?”

Location: Lumina

Interaction:




“I’m fine fine.” answered Vyvien as they flew away from the mushroom monster. Thankfully, it didn’t seem dexterous enough to chase after them. Vyvien looked back towards where the they had leave the fungal creature and let out a small sigh, “but I couldn’t retrieve my voice amplifier. I hope the mushroom doesn’t break it.”

Once the group had arrived at the city, there was a sense that something wasn’t right. Vyvien really couldn’t say how the city of Lumina was supposed to be, but she didn’t expect it to be as quiet as it was. Even the sound of wildlife seemed to have been muted to some degree. She looked around the emptiness of the city square when an officer approached. Vyvien was only half listening when something the officer said caught her attention.

“Wait wait. Fairies are turning to stone here, too?” she asked with some panic. It was more surprise than panic, but the news made the situation worrying. Feydellia was already fairly high up over the clouds, so to hear that whatever infection this was spreading down here in the forest made Vyvien’s heart skip a beat. Officer Sundew nodded before continuing his explanation.

“Fairy dust, but not?” Vyvien pondered, “Could you show me the scene? Maybe I can figure something out. The tree carving and the black dust. Maybe this can be of use.” As she was speaking, she summoned her rune tool wheel and retrieved her newly invented magic detector.

“If if it is the dark fairies, this should tell us. But I don’t think they, or any fairy, is capable of this. I just can’t imagine them having any reason to.”

Solomon found himself sitting at the table alone. Cedar had left the venue. With his departure also meant Stritzel’s interest towards the table disappeared. The Delvings and Yorks were too busy fraternizing with Jazdia, Yvonne, and each other. Politicians were using the banquet as an opportunity to make deals and forge connections. The younger generations were following said politicians like stowaways attempting to steal the secrets of success from their forebears. Beyond the platitudes the king provided him at the beginning of the event, there didn’t seem much interest to interact with the elderly doctor. For the moment, that was fine. Solomon had no feelings about it one way or the other.

Solomon sat at the table with the mushroom dish he had seen Cedar partake of earlier in the evening. It was a delightful dish. Placing down his utensil, Solomon rested his hands under his chin, again. His eyes rifted across the room. The drama was not settling down, though tensions were still high between the factions. Solomon didn’t feel it necessary to involve himself directly in any of the confrontations. He did feel some empathy towards Cedar’s intentions, but beyond what he had offered already, it was best for the bear to feel the weight of his decisions. The consequences at Fanghorn were regrettable. Solomon agreed with Cedar at that. Though the bear had no way of knowing, Solomon was formulating ways in which he could secure the late Von Kruber’s family. At least the bear was helpful in revealing to Solomon the family in question.

As for Silas and his comments, the women were taking care of themselves. So all in all, Solomon had very little reason if at all to involve himself within the political drama erupting around him. An orderly appeared offering Solomon a stemmed glass of fine drink. Solomon accepted, though only had it sitting at the table for now. His plate vanished at some point between then and now, but Solomon paid it no mind. For now, he was people watching still alone at his table. Somehow, even with most of his figure covered in cloth, he didn’t seem bothered by it.

Solomon slowly closed his eyes with a very slight nod when Cedar expressed interest and gratitude to Solomon’s offer. He pulled his right hand out from under his chin, and turned it up right. His mask waved as Solomon’s lips opened and closed underneath, though any words he might have spoken couldn’t’ be heard.

“Now, if I remember correctly, Caitlyn Stritzel’s residence should be…” Solomon spoke sofetly to himself. He quickly turned his upright hand over again before resting it back down on the table. Solomon had given his order to be carried out. Yet, even the most observant person wouldn’t have seen anything. Traveling exclusively through the shadows cast by the lights of the venue, the undead shadow’s departure would be entirely unnoticed. Even among the guests, the staff wandering the halls of the castle, even the townsfolk walking the streets of the city.

“It will be some time before we have an answer.” said Solomon, “Even for them, nothing is instant. I suggest you take your time to relax. It won’t do you much good worrying about before we have anything concrete. Now, I think I will partake in the banquet. The meal you selected looks quite delicious. I might try some for myself.”

Solomon stood from his place at the table for the first time since arriving. He left Cedar to his own devices now. As he approached the table, Solomon kept his gaze at the other guests. There was something about familiar about Stritzel that didn’t sit right. It’s one of the reasons Solomon offered his shadow for Cedar. There was also the Delvings. Their involvement was far from over. No one goes through the lengths they have to give up now. Still, Solomon gave some hope towards Silas. And then there was the York family. Appearing twice so frequently seemed suspicious. There were many reasons Solomon was not a fan of nobility, but their tendency towards the inhumane was ever growing.

Solomon rest his elbows on the empty place on the table in front of him. His fingers interlaced forming a bridge under his chin. Since the banquet began, Solomon had not moved from that spot, not even to acquire a plate of food for himself. Yet, he was able to witness so many interactions between the nobility and the rescue party.

“That is intriguing, isn’t it?” said Solomon. He watched patiently as Stritzel got in close, revealing personal secrets to each other. Yet, it wasn’t anything Solomon felt he’d have to intervene. Even so, when Cedar tried to be subtle, he had enough tells to show he was bothered. And it wasn’t just how uncomfortably close Stritzel got to him. Some of her words had left an impression. Solomon could not recall exactly, but some of what Stritzel had said seemed familiar. Though neither of them had come before, she didn’t seem entirely like a stranger. Solomon continued his musing.

“Yet even so, it would probably be better if you let it be. You’ll only bring yourself unpleasantness if you pursue it further.” Solomon knew that his vague words wouldn’t mean anything to Cedar. There before him was a fish enticing enough to risk the trip wire. Solomon couldn’t fault him for it.

“How about I run a little reconnaissance for you?” said Solomon, “you remember my friends among the shadows? I could have one check up on your brother in arms. You are clearly worried. I cannot do much about Stritzel, but I can at least give this Ted a wellness check.”
