KalasAfter some time, the elemental creature made its appearance once again before Ysolda. It had taken some time, and she was nearly back to full health... but then the creature stepped on her and started to talk about how she had tipped the balance and how she must die. She was told then to speak her last words. Really? This thing was threatening her? Some asshole comes in and eliminates a city... then explodes his warstrider with a force comparable to her most powerful spell... yet SHE is the evil one for cursing his existence. Ysolda had always known that lesser elementals could be dim, but this one was just stupid.
"You claim I am evil, yet I am not the one who took the lives of hundreds... who scarred the face of a world... who callously killed and maimed until feeling I was beaten, then fled." She did not move, as the elemental stood above her prone position, and could attack the instant it felt she was once again a threat to it. That said, if attacked while speaking, the Solar would simply skip her speech to the creature. "Yet for my part, defending this bleak realm as best I can, you label me a blight upon it. You know nothing, creature. Nothing of me, nothing of what I am, nothing of what I can do." A smile crept onto her face as she finished her sentence. "So if you're going to kill me for that, then by all means, try. If you'd rather learn more, then step back and allow me to get to my feet."
Should the earth elemental choose to make good on its threat and start pressing down to crush her, or mount a different form of offense, Ysolda would merely open her mouth. Humans are unable to SPEAK the Word of Ten Thousand Birds, part of the song that all the birds of Creation sing when they gather in one place, but can channel the power of the word through their essence. In a burst of energy and multicolored light, Ysolda would suddenly transform into a flock of birds. This sudden expenditure of Essence would also re-flare her defensive anima, lending the flock a moderate resistance to being attacked. These birds would scatter into various directions and fly off into the dark horizon of this world, far from those who claim neutrality but practice tyranny.
However, if it chose to let her stand... she would be both grateful, and continue on as if the threat had never occurred in the first place. She'd say "Yes, I cursed that being. It was a foul thing to do, but no fouler than the actions he took. I am unable to perform such a spell more than once in a lifetime, so you needn't worry about it happening again." She would dust herself off and crack her neck a couple times before resuming. "That said, I need to either find a way to help any survivors. That, and maybe figure out where the warstrider pilot fled to." She'd then motion toward the ruined city. "Shall we see if we can restore order for these beings, or no?"
The ball was no longer in her court. The wheel of fate was turning, and Erde would determine the direction it rolled.
( If Erde attacks: Motes Spent: 10m, 1wp. 0 Personal, 10 Peripheral. Motes Remaining: 0/34 Personal, 25/80 Peripheral. Remaining Willpower: 1/10 )
( If he does not: Motes Spent: 0m, 0wp. Motes Regained: 12. 12 Personal, 0 Peripheral. Motes Remaining: 12/34 Personal, 35/80 Peripheral. Remaining Willpower: 2/10 )

I play a lot of Pokémon Ultra Moon. If you have any requests for specific eggs/babies, let me know and I will see what I can do.

I wonder how I should address all the shade people have thrown at me during my time away. My mind says to let it go, but my heart says "with a chainsaw". Decisions.
Bio
Oh, you want to know about me? Not sure why, but ok.
A long time ago, in a bedroom far far away... my mommy met my daddy... and they did it.
What? Not that far back? Oh. Ok.
I'm a mechanic by trade, though a work-related injury nearly a decade ago has really hampered my life since. I'm what some would call a folkish heathen, if matters of spirituality interest you... though I lean more toward tribal rather than folkish. I live in Cleveland, have a nice little apartment in a decent neighborhood, and have two cats.
As far as RP? I like things with anime elements to them, as well as modern and traditional fantasy. Not interested in romance or furry or anything like that. Miss me with that stuff.
I'm brash. I do not sugar coat things. I will call people out on things. I will likely frustrate you at some point. ... however, I am one hell of a loyal person, should I ever decide you are a friend.
So there it is, I guess.

Teach an elective course, like a foreign language, art, music, etc.
Because New Peaks is one of the first private schools to allow Alternative Life Forms. PRIVATE SCHOOLS. Public places allow them. Private places are mostly of the mindset of "Well, they might have some ability that grants them an unfair advantage." etcetera.
Or Sloth could make his instructor a new hire and go with an animal-man.
Of those two, I think 1 would be a better plot. to start off with.
So Boerd said
No hard SF char?
I was about to say, there's at least like three or four that I know of.
Plot ideas
1.) New Peaks is one of the first private schools in the world to allow those "alternative life forms" to attend. This draws the ire of other rival schools and pro-human groups. These opposing parties eventually infiltrate or already have infiltrated the school, with students AND instructors. When they feel the time is right or when they get a signal from whoever... they strike. Sabotaging school events, framing semi-human students for crimes or whatever, and ultimately using outright force to try and get the semi-humans out of New Peaks.
2.) One instructor, or maybe a former employee who was fired, can use a suggestive type of power. Similar to a Jedi Mind trick, but much more subtle and taking a longer time to actually get results. However, once the power starts working and is in full swing, the person under the control thinks that the suggestions are their own idea.The control inflicts mental damage slowly, but by the time it is found out... its too late and the controlled person has done something horrible to harm or maybe even kill another instructor or student, damaging New Peaks' reputation in the eyes of the world.
3.) Flip-side of Plot #1. New Peaks is one of the LAST private schools to allow the semi-humans. Pro-human groups knew it was a losing battle and finally stopped fighting it, but the Pro-Alt.Life groups are still butthurt about it taking so long, and do some shit to harm the human instructors/students, not realizing that its doing nothing but hurting their cause.

That sums it up nicely.
So it's basically like... the earth and rock is his body, but it's not him. Or something.

Well I guess I'll just make another post in Necropoli as well, from what Beta said.
Could just edit, if you haven't already posted.
Guess you already did. Sorry... my attention span is shit today. Been freaking out with some very serious IRL stress.
Oh you clever/devious shitbird. S'ok. I can work with that.
Sorry for all the lines. LeeRoy. Question. I am aware Erde's skeleton core thing is a magical construct, but is the earth and rock and dirt that make up his outer form merely being held there via that magic or does it actively become a part of his body and technically a sentient object?
